RBP2 was a phone *wthout* a screen.

>>55330947
Did you try turning it off and back on again?

>>55330947
I mean, rpi and arduinio are designed to fuck around with. GPIO pins, ethernet and USB and power connectors, endless online tutorials.

Old android phones are designed for consumer electronics. No GPIO, no custom software support normally, no ethernet or power cord, USB is a bitch, etc.

I don't what you think you'll accomplish using an old phone as a rpi. Just because they both have ARM doesn't mean that they're interchangeable

why not just speed test it ?

www.speedtest.net

and then actually google your stuff so i dont have to.

>>55330897
Have you set it to 4G and are you in an area with 4G/LTE connection? Is 4G part of your plan/whatever?

Also, yeah, speed test it.

>>55331157
Yeah I have speedtested it, also have another phone to compare to. There was about half mbps difference but the speed was what it is supposed to be. It's dogshit slow in the day time though. When I try the other phone with the same sim it shows 4G. I'm a bit confused about the differences between them all though, could my phone support LTE but not 4G and LTE is just not in my area/plan? It is currently set to auto but only ever shows H+.

>not getting a flagship
>expecting root, much less custom rom or recovery

Shouldve saved your money a little bit more and get a flagship. Enjoy your bloated sluggish touchwiz

Best mod phone galaxy s3 user here

>>55330884
A used flagship is a better way to go. Galaxy S3s are cheaper than dirt and have a lot of roms.
Any Nexus is a better option than the Galaxy Amp Prime.

>>55330884
Well you've bought the phone so you're already fucked I guess. Either take that Samsung dildo up your ass, bloatware and all, or try Kingroot. Google it. If all goes well you'll download the apk and have root in under 5 minutes.

>manipulating window sizes manually

So incredibly pleb.

That's why I use a tiling window manager

maybe if you didnt have stupidly oversized monitors for your desk it wouldnt be such a task

>>55330732
don't forget the most important layer 8: end user

>your favorite protocol, how you use it
SNMP, works like a charm for IPC (atop unix domain sockets), without needing any of that bloated dbus crap

That's the osi model not TCP IP

>>55330732
TCP and IP don't have 7 layers. Those are protocols that belong in their own layers

And there aren't even 7 layers, there are 5. Get with the times!

>>55330648
Hopefully custom boards will take care of this.

This review even pointed out that if AMD used an 8-pin power connector instead of 6, this issue would be avoided.

TDP != power consumption.

How the fuck can you be stupid enough to not know what TDP is but then talk shit?

KEK, fucking normies.

What does this have to do with the RX480?

>>55330606
N-nothing? I was thinking /g/ would have a lot of undergrads doing computer science.

Expect a lot of high level math, especially Linear Algebra. I'm guessing based of your BS degrees, you weren't introduced to much more than Calculus I. If you want to do software/programming/hardware related work look into Computer, Software, and/or Electrical Engineering instead. I wouldn't recommend jumping into a CS grad program based on your background.

atleast it's not a GPU thread, thank you anon. Also get a printer that runs off FOSS software and doesnt transmit everything you print to fbi.gov

Look for a Brother monochrome laser printer that also does photocopying/scanning in the $100 range. Buy third party toner that gives high yield (2600 pages) for around $20.

Printers are dead bro. There's not much reason to use one anymore. If you need to scan something just take a picture of the page with your Android phone @ 400-1600 ISO and crop/correct perspective later. If you need to print something then just go to staples/office depot, I think it's like 10¢ a page.

I haven't used a printer since 2012. Still have an old HP deskjet collecting dust somewhere, maybe I should sell it on ebay or something.

You get what you pay for

I use them all the time and never manged to break one
Do you also buy new headphones every week?

Finally. Thank you OP!

I have an old HD6870, with a gigabyte cooler non reference.

Could I buy the rx480 and put that cooler on it? Is it compatible? I also have a gtx260 with a non reference cooler, could I use that instead?

which card? Preferably over 60 FPS in games like witcher 3, Doom, Tomb Raider

>mfw I format all my porn flash drives as ext4 so wincucks can't steal it and use it

UDF is the perfect format for flash drives

- Simple single-user file system like FAT
- Unencumbered by patents
- Unicode
- Supports large files

Just give up and embrace nihilism. Mods won't care enough to make /consumer/

I 100% agree with this, but meta threads aren't going to fix anything

AMD are finished

run debian or some ancient version of OS X

>>55329976
why the shit did you buy one if you had no idea what to do with it???

go on the macintosh garden and find some shit for it, run tiger on it instead of leopard for better compatibility

You can't run Xubuntu, it doesn't have PPC builds. If I remember correctly, Mint does so you can start there. Your other alternative is to use a horrifyingly outdated and insecure version of OSX.

All that said, it's a piece of junk and you wasted your money. I worked on squeezing more life out of iBooks a while back and there's not much you can do. At best it's going to be a subpar Chromebook that isn't powerful enough to play YouTube.

yes i realize that i would imagine android probably sucks too what is a /g/ phone that would provide me with good securit but access to apps?

Blackberry
