biggest mistake of my life

why did i ever start using a computer? fuck this CIA botnet

>never buy first generation tech
>buy video games when they drop down to $25 or less or when /v/ really likes them years after the fact
>buy old thinkpads because they're built nice and I don't play PC games anyway
>don't need an expensive phone so I never buy flagships

I don't understand "buyers remorse", I've never felt it before, I'm serious.

I have buyer's remorse for you by just reading those two crimes.

Anything M-Audio. Speakers have no shielding (any EM waves cause static), audio interfaces have worse than pajeet tier drivers, 48V phantom power has no power.

Skimmed through the leaks, literally nothing of any value, just the names leaked and some intro project stuff, it's nothing substantial really.

>>59287791
Also audio interfaces lack any DC port, so phantom power is provided by USB (lol). Hardware is actually really nice, knobs are smooth, etc, but the company's basic lack of understand for making a working product negates any positives.

>>59287791
Audio technology in general is so old and tested that anything marketed as "high end" is an almost automatic ticket to buyer's remorse. Low end shit does exist but the secret is EARLY mid range.

e.g. there are some amazing earphones around $50 to $100 but no more.

>>59287842
not talking about your retarded audiophool crap. this is production gear.

I bought one of those c2d optiplex to run my plex server but didn't realize how cramped the case was

I bought 2 pounds of goat ribs and I thought they'd be as good at lamb's but those things are disgusting. I should have listened to the butcher. They are are destined for boiling mostly.

Synology NAS.

>>59288212
Why didn't you get a FreeNAS Mini, anon?

>>59288266
I still wouldn't. But it would be better than this I guess.

>>59287751
Pretty much same boat as you, never had any buyers remorse.

The worst thing I ever got was Afterfall (Did I get the name right?) But that was free so it doesn't even count.

Also when CoD Blackops 1 was given to me as a present, I just got my first 560ti to replace my 8600GTS I saw, literally, 0 improvement. So I uninstalled and hated CoD ever since.

Donkey Konga. I saved up $70.00 for that shitty game. I regretted as soon as I started playing the first level.

i6700k. It's great, but I wish I could have bought a 1700 instead. I bought it feb last year though, so from that perspective I did the right thing instead of waiting a whole year and a bunch. 4 cores seems cucked.

>>59287712
Spent $2k on a transmission for an old car, bought a new one like a few months later. Think my sister totaled it not long after that anyway.

Don't use my rasp pi as much as I thought I would or should.

>>59288212
Care to elaborate? I'm in the market for one and just curious.

>>59291004
It's operating system is pretty restrictive, at best it's complete hell to use it as well as a normal linux distro. However this is in major part due to my model having a non x86 cpu, those models may be better. Other than that I've fast run into a wall for storage and am going to have to throw it out and build something with more expandability anyway. If I could do it over I'd go straight to a Supermicro 3U/4U or build something in a large but regular case. Then use a normal linux or bsd distro (not sure which yet though).

I fucking hate the thing I've got though, can't run the software I want to on it because it isn't compiled for ARM and I'm out of storage.

>>59291066
Understood. I'm concerned myself about expanding storage.

6700k/1070/16Gb DDR4/500GB SSD Gayming Desktop Build.

It's a good computer, but I still find myself using my T420 90%+ of the since I don't want to be confined in one area and I am always travelling. I was going to buy an XPS 15, and I should have.

>>59291066
Recommending FreeNAS and ZFS

>>59291370
Closest I'll get to that is FreeBSD and ZFS, I'm not using FreeNAS. More likely though I'll use CentOS/Debian/Arch with ZoL.

>>59287712
bought amd once
never again

>>59291004
Get freenas my dude

I'm trying to sell a custom computer I built because I don't use it.

>>59291466
this honestly. I really want to like it but firefox keeps shitting itself right after I bought it.

I'm officially done with the gaming meme.

>>59291383
Try SmartOS with real full ZFS, not the half FreeBSD implementation. SmartOS is best for any kind of file server since you just keep replacing your USB drive for the OS and all the hard drives are for storage. Can also easily run a private 'cloud' with SmartOS

>>59292413
Same. I wish I bought a refurbished pc instead, I spent over a 1000$ on components I didn't even need

>>59287751
Aged flagships are pretty nice if you can get them for a decent price, they have good vendor(in some cases) and custom ROM support, and are all around balanced phones.

me too i wish i just got a comfy macbook, i don't play games or do anything requiring a desktop

>Buy RX480
