Got an EVGA 950 SSC for $80 today, did I do gud?
>>55642882
Should have saved up for a 1060 or 480. Now you have a shit tier card at a bad value.
no you didn't. you shouldnt be buying low end tech from last gen.
>>55642882
That shit is worth 50 dollars.
How often do you guys switch to a new computer? How about smartphone? My comp's 4 years now, and phone is 3. Is it time to switch?
I personally try 2 years using cellphone, and about 5-6 years using a pc.
Not working though.
i built my pc in 2013 and it's still good and i'm still using my nexus 5, whenever that came out, and it's still good.
Previously I would get a new PC every 5-7 years, depending on my finances. These days I perform incremental upgrades. It's generally cheaper than an entirely new build. My phone on the other hand I upgrade whenever my contract allows, so once every two years.
I use utorrent 2.2.1
>>55642654
Been using qBittorrent since utorrent became adware. It's quite good, for what I do with it at least.
Latest uTorrent
>>55642674
I don't like that it stalls torrents every now and then. Really gets annoying
So i bought a lg g2-d800 phone unlocked from amazon to play fucking pokemon go(fuck me in the ass atm fampei).
Anyway the piece of shit is on fucking android 4.0.1 or some dogshit, not even 4.2 or 4.4. anyway it turns out the fat jews at AT&T only roll out lollipop updates to ppl who use AT&T sim cards. If i use a tracfone sim card wil it work? its what im doing cus i have a ton of saved minutes and shit on tracfone goys.
Also I'm native american so get your white guilt absolved today by helping me whitey!
Are u sure you're native American? Only a Jew could be this stingey
>begging /g/ for Lagdroid shitphone tech support so you can play fucking Pokemon
Perhaps you should take some time to really think about your life and whether it's worth continuing.

Anon, show us your music player
Amarok, I guess. I don't listen to music on my desktop often. Usually just Spotify.

U.S. Army switching from Android to the iPhone 6s due to poor performance
>When trying to run a split screen showing the route and UAS feed, the Android smart phone will freeze up and fail to refresh properly and often have to be restarted, a process that wastes valuable minutes, the source said.

is there any durable laptop brand or model which can be disassembled, cleaned and assembled easily, like a gun? which are the brands are focused on long term lower total cost of ownership? (inb4 thinkpad)
sounds like your own inb4 answered the question
Welp, thread's over then, everybody go home
>>55642353
>>55642329
is thinkpad easy to disassemble? it might be durable but will it allow me to clean the fan with ease after 3 years?
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on Gearbest, AliExpress, eBay and similar sites.

My whole main pc failed two days ago. BIOS corrupted, no way of flashing it. Using Dell Optiplex 755 now kek
Was playing arcade in SC2 when I hear a loud pop and the comp shuts off. The air filled with the scent of fried electrics and sure enough, the PSU failed. Pretty much crippled my shit but I was able to swap from the blown 500 to a 400 I had in my old Athlon rig until I replaced it with my current 650er.

How do you fuck up water cooling? I've had a cheap shit single rad for over a year now with no issues.
Almost a year and a half.
i don't even know why i'm doing this. most of you people are idiot wastoids that don't deserve any life hints.
i just got back form a computer engineering conference. industry, schools, professionals, developers, etc. the vast majority of people were using thinkpads and macs.
thinkpads and macs. if you want a quality machine and be taken seriously you generally get a thinkpad or mac. if you want to get some cheap plastic toy then you have no business doing anything important.

Just stop. Your not going to accomplish anything other then convincing the basement dwellers that you're completely retarded.
And then there's the rest of the Windows users. Most will distance themselves from you, because you're retarded.
So just stop...

Fucking idiot who is polluting /spg/ with his SD autistic shilling.
bought a cheap chinkphone cos I'm a poorfag
was looking into instally Cyanogenmod on it but its not supported
searching online "(chinkphone)+custom ROM gives me no hits)
is there a way to flash it with some "one size fits all" ROM?
thank you
>>55641030
yeh. Instead of searching "chinkphone + rom", try searching the "name / make / model of phone + rom." It might help a bit and filter only the relevant results.
