I am changing majors from ChemE to CompE/ElectricalE.
I need help deciding what to buy in August. So far I am thinking of:
Samsung 7 Edge phone
an Android tablet (maybe Nvidia or a Samsung one)
Dell Latitude 7000 series
then I need to look into building a new computer for my gaming needs or get a "Steam Box"
I am also debating whether to switch to a Windows Phone and Tablet, but I doubt I will. Maybe just the tablet or maybe I'll stick with Android. I want the tablet to have a stylus so I can use it for notes. After using the Note 3 then trying out the Note 5 and seeing the improvement, I know the technology is there for electronic writing.
I am going to dual boot linux on the laptop. I've gotten comfortable with Ubuntu, but I'd like to switch to Kali Linux and Debian alongside Windows.
Does /g/ have a recommended tablet? Is Android or Windows better for a tablet or about the same performance wise?
I like the Edge, but if you think there's a better phone, I'd like to know so I can look at it.
I debated between the Thinkpad and Latitude. After all the rootware and spyware Lenovo has been installing, I can't trust a Chinese company. I know they didn't touch the Thinkpad line, but still. But if /g/ convinces me Thinkpad has better performance than the Dell Latitude, then I may reconsider.
Are those mini-tower PC's expensive to build? I am trying to conserve space in my apartment. So I may consider a "Steam Box". Thoughts?
I have money, so I intend to spend it as I'll be using this gear for the next year to two year.
And is there any use for old smartphones? I am turning my old PC into a dedicated server so I can host a shitty website
tldr; windows or android tablet? Latitude or Thinkpad? Mini-tower PC or Steam Box? Recommendations?
Bonus question: What is a good voice recorder? Some of my professors are foreign and I can't understand them half the time. I have a Oneplus One and use that to record, but a dedicated voice recorder is probably better to use.

I really think you should go post your blog on Reddit, and kill yourself for even asking about a steam box.
>>
>>55155304
Well, I have't gamed in a year, bu I have like 2k worth of Steam games. I know the initial box offerings were bad, but there were a variety to choose from. I figured they'd had improved by now. I never really looked into it.
I don't want a giant tower. I paid 2k back in 2006 for a Dell XPS that luckily they upgraded in 2011 for free because of warranty. The tower is huge and gives off a lot of heat.
I've seen pictures of mini-towers slightly bigger than the steam box. I don't know which would be cheaper. I'll use my flatscreen as a monitor, so I dont know if a mini-tower is big enough for a full-sized video card and cpu and a cooling system. I lived in the dorm a few years ago with my XPS and was constantly hot because of the heat it gave.
Yes, I write a lot. Aren't you my friend, anon?
Good idea, I'll post to Reddit too.

Is someone using Windows 10 on a rMPB? Are there any drawbacks or problems running it as main-os? macOS somehow gives me shivers.

If you're going to buy an expensive piece of hardware, don't waste it on a shitty OS like Windows. Use OSX if you want something better that still justwerks, or go Linux
>>
>>55155237
Yes it since windows allows you to be productive, macbook wont be able to handle that and overheat.

You shouldn't run a beta OS on your primary machine.

Is this display just a meme? Are there better options for G-Sync displays at the same price range?
I don't really care about 144Hz.

Thoughts on Pebble? And their Pebble Watch'? I'm specifically picking up Time Round and think it is the better choice compared to the other Smart Watches, because of design, ease of use, and value. I was contemplating over Moto 360 2nd gen or Samsung Gear S2, but they are twice as expensive and only the Gear S2 has an attractive UI and useability. It sounds great on paper, but it isn't as useful on an Android phone rather then a Samsung phone.
Also what do you guys think of Pebble Time 2?

Fuck off. There are situations I'll need a Smart Watch over using a Smart Phone in a professional environment. Like at a meeting glancing at the watch instead of pulling up the phone. Or when I'm video chatting with someone I don't need to have my phone ring randomly in my face. Also keeping track of social media for my job is something I have to keep on thinking of. Also emergency messages are another can of worms.

"Good, responsible" drivers, your time is over. You WILL be riding in autonomous vehicles in the near future.
And no, you are not a better driver than an autonomous car.

The day these things take over is the day I become a full time cyclcist.
I could ride as I like and none of those auto-cucks can do anything to stop. They wont even be able to stop or tear their setbelt off because they are locked in for the trip.
Sitting there.
Strapped in.
Angry.
Forced to watch my ass as I ride slowly in front of them making them late for work.

Is it even legal for a cyclist to do that when there are bike lanes?

>>55153767
Not every country has good infrastructure of bicycle lanes.

This is a great idea, I'm gonna do the same thing.
