Well... no.

Pretty shitty specs but I've had good experience with BLU on the whole, they seem to perform better than their specs would suggest. But still, you might find something better for the price.
Okay so ive been an Android user for years, and recently ive converted to the apple race (Don't ask why.)
But can someone please point me in the right direction, or suggest some apps/websites i can download music and shit?

Not everyone finds out early in life that they're gay.

For respectable family orientated people who want a clean ecosystem and no hassle backup.

For a neckbeard with porn all over his phone who doesn't necessarily care about Google's shit backup options.

Anyone with GTX 1000 series card feels left out now this early in the next gen game?
Are we gonna see some drivers soon that might improve vulkan and dx12 capabilities of nvidia cards? All i see now is that the maxwell cards suck and pascal cards are literally just flat and no gains in performance in these new api.
Perhaps i should just have waited or a temporary RX 480 for vega instead of getting a 1070.
Its like GeForce FX and Radeon 9700 and HD 4850 and 4870 all over again (in which luckily chose red team in those generatio )
Too obvious.
You AMD shills need to learn subtlety. That entire last line made it too clear your actual intent.

You have a damn 1070 dude. Literally no reason to not be happy.

Why is she wearing a blue shirt?
How can she be taken seriosly when she wears a blue shirt?
How many work for the NSA?
I guess this is the part where we all rage about it being a woman and insinuate she has some kind of hidden tumblr agenda.
Writing a book anon-e-moose is pretty silly, I suppose.
Do you have and like Telegram?
No. I'm not ISIS.
Yeah.
>tfw no good decentralized p2p style chatting application
>>55564245
Is there a market for terrorist apps? Does ISIS have its own in-house programmers or do they outsource?

Are Apple Macbooks good laptops compared to other laptops? Are they worth it? Whenever I ask this question, usually people who have macs will say yes and the others will say they are a waste of money. I want an objective comparison
>>55563975
There's three Macbooks:
Plain: worse than celeron piece of shit with the worst keyboard in the history of computing
Air: same 1366x768 TN piece of shit you find on $200 craptops, and it's glossy on top of that
Pro: if you try to use the high end hardware they cram into it, it catches fire
They're all utter shit, and only a moron would buy any of them.
>>55564007
Do you or have you ever owned a macbook yourself? Do you know anyone who does and how they feel about it? Because I know people who have used both macbooks and pcs. Some of them like macbooks and some of them like pcs.
>>55563975
OSX Mavericks was like the Windows 7 of Macs. It was actually pretty good. Everything after is trash. If you're going to get one then buy a used one from 2008-2011. They're really cheap right now. You can use transmac and a Mavericks install dmg to make a bootable flash drive. You can also install install GNU/Linux or Windows on them. I'm on a 10 year old MBP right now. These are going for like $45 used. They work fine for shitposting and rare pepe collecting. A RAM upgrade helps greatly on the really old machines.
I got a 10/10 t400 for practically free and I am currently looking into upgrading. For even 100 bucks I could probably get a decent runner, so I think. I've already put 4 gb of ram in and a 801.11n card and I've decided to look into the cpu since the best of the series are probably pennies now.
The screw on the pga479m socket got me thinking about swapping not only the model, but also the series entirely.
How feasible is this? Has anyone done it? And what's the best chip for the current socket? (I'll probably throw in a little more copper and thermal paste anyways)
That screw doesn't let you remove the socket. It's just to lock the CPU in place. While it is theoretically possible to develop a custom board that would take a newer CPU, that's something well beyond the abilities of you, me, or anyone on /g/.
The best CPU the T400 came with stock was the T9600, but you should probably get a T9400 instead. The highest-end Core 2s tend to be very overpriced, and the difference between them and the slightly-below-highest-end models tends to be completely unnoticeable in real-world tasks.
>>55563936
Flash GNU Libreboot on it. Free as in freedom BIOS
>>55564477
P9700 or T9900 were the fastest T400 CPUs
