Eurofag here.

I personally try to avoid American, and Chinese companies.
American companies because they're Jews and try to get as much money out of you as possible, like through lack of functionality that you have to pay extra for, or through subscription services, overpriced products, etc.
And Chinese products because of their lack of a worldwide presence, meaning you have to import everything from there, pay huge import fees and wait weeks, and then the quality might end up crappy and you don't want to send it back.
Lenovo is an exception (they're Chinese, right?).

I normally go with superior Japanese quality.

technically I never did buy from them, but I received an iPod as a gift. I was greatly annoyed by the fact that it did nothing unless iTunes, and all its shit, was around to tell it the magic words.

Well, not strictly true. I'm happy to go on their site and buy from third-party sellers, but I'm not going to buy anything that Amazon sells first-party, because they hitched their wagon to "fast delivery" more than "low prices". Fuck you, I want my shit cheaper, and I'll wait a few extra days for it to get it cheaper. Fuckers collect sales tax now, too, which third-parties rarely if ever do.

>>55233307

Nvidia offers fantastic drivers for their latest cards and only their latest cards. Old cards get shit on.

>>55233259
Wow thats ridiculous

>>55233430
No. AMD quickly abandons supporting previous gen cards and leaves them with buggy drivers that will never be fixed. Nvidia has much stabler drivers and supports their cards longer but is more expensive.

>>55233555
The same thing happened to me as >>55231520 with my 6950.
The last stable and beta drivers AMD released for it were shit. Games crash or run like shit even on a fresh install of 7 or 10. Also when it was released, the performance varied dramatically between games so Nvidia's weaker card would out perform it a lot. /g/ said that they'll fix the drivers so it shits on the inferior specced 560 ti like it was supposed to do.

THEY NEVER FIXED IT.

LG.

My LG flatscreen shat itself when i hooked my ps3 to it (i could see the ps3 menu even with the tv turned off), thankfully i got back to the store just after it happened and complained to them because nowhere did it say that sony stuff wasn't compatible with it, a 5 min talk in the backroom and 50 extra bucks and they let me take a much better bravia instead of that shit, god bless pedro the plebmart manager i went to highschool with.

My nexus 5 also broke just after a week, this time it was the power button, they also offered to change the model since this was a common complaint with the phone, i took an S5.

Both LG devices were my first flatscreen and smartphone, so this left me understandably bitter at the company

They're updating their own piece of shit skin, but the base stays the same. From what I've heard, the Redmi Note 2 will get Marshmallow no earlier that September, if ever, and by then N will be out already. Developers can't do (proper) shit either because no sources, ergo you're stuck with literally the worst Android modification out there.

What I meant is that I wouldn't buy a replacement new, even though I do think it's a good product. The bulky ass iPods they used to make were of good quality, but everything Apple has made in recent years just seems kinda flimsy and cheap.

In other words, when my trusty music device finally dies, I'll be buying another one second-hand as a "fuck you" to Apple.

Dude, Windows has a built-in zip utilities in its fucking Explorer. Then if you want better ones, 7zip is free and its native format is a lot more effective than RAR and ZIP combined. There is zero reason to use WinRAR anymore except for not knowing better. And I'm working with developers and software testers. They should know better.

>>55241357
winrar is amazing for rar/zip/iso files and if you don't understand that you must be a total dumbass.

>>55241389
It's an archive manager. How is it "better" than other archive managers that support these formats? The only thing WinRAR has exclusivity on is compressing to RAR format, which is not really different than ZIP.
