Let's hear your's...
Looks like /g/ is making good purchases...
>>56364245
this whole board is just kids from third world countries rationalizing their bad purchases with a series of childish taunts and retard-tier name calling.
in other words, everyone here only buys the best products no matter how terrible they happen to be.
>>56364245
100% one hundred fucking percent OP. DO NOT BUY ANY PHONE FROM ASUS. You get what you pay for. sold it on ebay for almost all the money I paid for it though, so there's that.

Why is this allowed?
that's 140 push-ups
>>56364192
Warnings aren't that big of a deal
If your so smart, how come your not the one giving orders?
Windows 10 anniversary update takes away the option to schedule my updates and replaces it with "active hours" and apparently I can't be active on my PC for more than 12 hours.
The ride truly never ends, this is a beginning of something amazing...
>>56364162
They actually let you schedule the update restart but only after the update has been downloaded.
It's a needless complication given the fact the functionality is still there.
>>56364162
Yes, microsoft dictates that it needs at least 12 hours out of a day for updates.

hey /g/ays
why does my ubuntu laptop do this whenever I open it? also what causes it?
I figured out how to fix it by resetting the resolution but how do I make it stop?
ubuntu mate is a buggy pile of shit. install a different de/distro.
>>56364039
kek, that's what chrome normally looks like for me
>>56364072
do you think the DE really could fix it? I've been thinking about installing budgie

10 rupees have been deposited into your account, Pajeet
Contactless
PayWave
Apple Pay
Android Pay
The future of payment.
In the UK it is now accepted at the majority of card payment terminals.
Why aren't you onboard yet /g/?
I don't understand how apple pay and android pay are a thing. Apple and google are obviously getting some amount of money from each transaction. Why would the credit card companies/retailers (one or both of these are footing the bill) accept them? It doesn't seem like there is anything good in it for them.
With ApplePay you have to enter a passcode before you can complete a transaction which pretty much negates any benefit of using it over chip & pin.
>>56363448
They're probably taking a fractional amount. Banks are also probably thinking that if they don't jump in then they could lose business to banks who do. When you see how bad Apple fanboys can be would it really surprise you if people switched banks just so they could use contactless on their iPhone?
/g, does there exist some usb type device with which one could "sample" the color of say, a piece of paper, or some other material, and output the color code in whatever hex, or rgb format?
This would be used to prepare paints/dyes at another location of samples taken with the device. So the idea you could just give the person that makes the dyes the code and get the exact match that the device output.
Does anyone know what this might be called, if it exists?
Picture unrelated.
>>56363349
Yeah, it's called a camera.
This is a stupid idea, OP.
The color detected by the photosensor will change based on ambient light.
As /diy/ will tell you, it is essentially impossible to reproduce an exact color. Pigments decay over time due to UV radiation.
>>56363870
actually, depending on the use, I think there does exist such a device. It's not stupid.
>>56363349
I think there's a few laser color sensors I can't recall where I saw them.
