i hope it was faulty and not all of them are that shitty but basically i was plagued with a myriad of different problems. first the xbox would only get restricted NAT, then i couldnt stay connected to certain irc channels, connection would occasionally drop completely until the router had been reset. Try as you might you couldn't connect to netflix on any smart tv or non-PC device, constant packet loss, when you change a setting in its webui it would countdown by 2 seconds at a time. and thats just off the top of my head.

>>61400672
The window kit is a hose that exhausts the hot air from the condenser. The fact that half of the cool air is just going past the condenser and out the window irks me. The air to make that up had to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is usually air of the same temperature I bought the damned thing to avoid.
If there were also an air intake in the window kit, it would have been a MUCH better design, but nooooo.
>>
>>61400727
Oh God that's fucking awful. I've never seen one without two hoses running to the window panel for this very reason.
>>
>>61400727

Yes, that's how single hose portable units work. If you wanted better efficiency you should have bought a dual hose unit (condensor intake and outtake hoses).

I know the razer naga has a double clicking problem, where the hardware of the mouse breaks down, and your single clicks register as double clicks. However, this piece of shit had an even bigger problem even before the click buttons could break. When I booted into windows 8, nothing was wrong. It worked perfectly fine. When I booted into os X, then the thing went to shit. The mouse would double click. I reinstalled the drivers, went through customer support, and reinstalled os x, but nothing worked. The double clicking issue would always happen in os x, and it would vanish when i booted into windows. Razer had the fucking audacity to advertise their mice as "os x" compatible. I never bought another razer product again.

Dunno if it's my biggest ever but I got a samsung TN recently that's 4k. It's okay but has run into some issues at times. I ended up getting a macbook later and I was intending to hook it up to my monitor for the big screen but the retina display ends up looking better than it despite being smaller and at lower res anyway.

I think I should've just gone all the way with some IPS or OLED masterpiece at double the price.
>>
>>61396795
I had that thing OP and used for years in wireless repeater mode. User manual failed to explain how to configure it, - the only way was to set some settings, reboot, go to the [changed] settings, set again, reboot, again and again - combination of beating settings into flash while letting the shitty UI adjust to the changes. Once everything was set no problems, OK range for what it was. Victim of the old days of ridiculously stripped down installations skimping on flash - glad that is gone.

>eDimensional 3D Glasses
These fucking things, sorry for the tiny image but they're old enough I cant find a picture for.

Basically 3D glasses for your PC that just barely worked and slowed the fuck out of your games, I think the only time it ever worked properly was playing Star Trek Elite Force where things really did look 3D but the crosshair was nigh unusable.

Eventually you'd get a headache or just fed up of using them because they're a set of shutter glasses (meaning they constantly blink on and off) paired with your monitor which is also going haywire being split in half and blinking too.
>>
>>61403517
Ah shit, I owned those. They were bad ass (as a novelty). The 3D was amazing. The game-killing issue was that it didn't work with GUIs at all - any 2D element just looked like double vision.

Still, I was big into DAoC back then and I'd just turn off my GUI and explore the world in 3D. Good times.

A Toshiba Satellite L855. In the first week both usb 3.0 ports went out. Sent it back. They said there was nothing wrong with them. Got it back and they still didn't work. They never did again. Additionally, the laptop would hit max temp during any form of heavy usage. After warranty expired: The hard drive has issues where it's always stuck at 100 percent read/write. Takes 20 minutes to boot. Keyboard is peeling off and the control key is bent, despite reasonable care of the device. Uneven pressure (like being in a lap) on the underside of the laptop or resting your hands on either side of the trackpad can cause the trackpad buttons to click and the mouse to move randomly.
>>
>>61405282
Oh, and hitting max temp would cause it to shut off. So fucking brilliant machine. Rather have a chromebook.

Good God, my dad had that piece of shit. Or at least he had a different satellite.

The thing had a 1GHZ DUAL CORE CELERON. He had the thing for about 4 years and was always asking me to "clean it up" for him. I told him the processor had less power than a 4 year old smartphone. He... didn't get it.

Finally, I convinced my mother to split a specced-out T430s with me for his birthday early this year.

Acre Cloudbook. Biggest piece of shit laptop I have ever owned.

The case was so flimsy that you could press the touchpad button through the bottom of the case. Flexed so much the power button cable came unplugged from the motherboard.

It was also slow as shit. Specs were:

1.6 GHz dual core Celeron
2GB soldered ram
32Gb emmc
Windows 10

It ran at 100% CPU all the time with windows, and it couldn't even play 720p video full screen.

And I paid $200 for that heap of shit. I'm so retarded.
>>

Siemens CX65.

It was shit from the very start. When you hit the power button, it said something like "Press this button to power on", but indicated the wrong button so it just turned off immediately.

Once I finally figured that out, it would crash several times per day. It didn't do OTA updates, didn't come with the $40 data cable, so I had to send it in for service to do a fucking firmware update after a week.

Finally it was in a sort of usable state, but it still crashed weekly.

There was a nightmarish process required to convert video to .3gpp to watch on it, the ~160x120 screen was too shit to read subtitles on anime and j2me was buggy as shit.

I was so happy when I heard Siemens laid off their entire mobile division. Good riddance.

Picked this up because it was absurdly cheap with an employee discount. Wanted to use it while in bed. Turns out these devices have a consistent issue where the screen would display nothing but black, requiring multiple reboots until it decides it will finally work for you.

TrustPower as an ISP.

They do have discounts when you combine all household utilities together, but they gouge the fuck out of their internet prices such that you zero out. And yet they still sucker people in my home city with rebates and "discounts" when it doesn't mean shit. Including my parents.

Also when you internet gets knocked out in the weekend, it doesn't come back until the next workday. One of the only times I'd rather have a pajeet helping me fix my internet on a 24/7 line than workweek only in a Kiwi call centre.

I know what evaporative means, they obfuscated what it actually was. If I wanted to fix my problem with wet shit evaporating I would have just thrown a wet towel over a fan.

Bought a couple of these "dead' off eBay for $100 with the bluetooth keyboards. Figured I could fix them.

The batteries had a firmware glitch where if they ran out they wouldn't charge.

Managed to get them booted, ran the Acer Updater which updated the BIOS and the battery firmware which fixed them. Both charged up to 100%.

Sold them for $80 each on eBay after using one for a torrentbox for awhile. Didn't mind it actually and if I didn't already have a tablet I would have kept one.

Power button would instantly turn it on (no "hold to power on") so it would constantly turn itself on with a slight nudge. Battery lasted pretty long in sleep though.

Acer seems to have but scrubbed it from their website aside from some occasional mentions,

2 months later my G5 did the bootloop, but a slightly different one where sometimes it would load but would never stay up more than 15min.i take it back to Sprint and they give me yet another brand new G5.

Within 2 weeks while in an otterbox I dropped it and the screen near the speaker cracked. The battery life is terrible and will drop 5% per hour even while idle. The speaker is dogshit and is whisper quiet unless facing you, seriously my 2010 HTC EVO 4G had a far better speaker. And now GPS has essentially completely stopped working. Which is yet another known bug. I'm probably going to the Sprint store within a week for them to hand over yet another free $700 pile of dogshit.

Fuck LG

Huh, that's weird. I'm posting this from an L855 right now. The case is stupidly flimsy and and my screen's right bottom corner is JB-welded into place, but I don't think I've had hardware issues with it. I threw in a few extra gigs of ram, and added 8gigs of readyboost, but otherwise it's gone unmodified. Even after like 4 years, still boots botnet 10 like a charm. A decent laptop for the price(I got it on markdown from Fry's)

>>61413713
That's great. On paper it's a good deal. Maybe i just got a lemon.
>>
>>61413610
Mind elaborating? I've been tempted to get one now that price has dropped but I'd still rather have a Vive for positional awareness.

But if I could find a used one on Craigslist for less than $300 I'd grab it

HTC Sensation aka my first proper smartphone back in 2012, apparently the motherboard's battery connectors pins was not soldered properly and causes random shutdowns. It was bad enough that it eventually killed the board too when that part of the motherboard cracked

Frankly 32GB on a Windows tablet is a mistake, you don't get much for storage after the OS probably takes up at least a quarter of the space

this was suppose to be an updated version of my previous phone the ZTE zmax.
the updated ZTE zmax PRO does not have 5Ghz wifi like the previous fucking version
it has USB-C so i needed to buy all new cables
the zmax was rootable
(stock non-rooted version had usb functions disabled. installed some app to have usb-otg functionality so i can connect usb sticks to it)

i like the giant 6" 1080p screen and big battery
i like phablets.
you don't use cellphones mainly to call people anymore.
text, web browsing, gaming, watching videos, etc.
might as well have a giant viewable screen.
im just upset for not buying the exact same earbuds as before.
they were better and cheaper.

Probably my HP pavilion dv6. It still worked, but the high performance GPU broke so it had a fraction of the performance it claimed after a year or so of use, it whined like a jet turbine and changing the paste meant dissasembling the whole thing, it was stupidly convoluted to get at the guts of it, and the issue returned after a few months anyway. Then it was the shitty screen, the flimsy feel, the filth-magnet finish, the broken audiojack and the horrible trackpad.
Grante it never fully broke, it's still usable, but it was still pretty shit.

Bought a thinkpad T530 used, put an ssd in and changed the paste and never looked back.

D-Link routers are absolute trash.

The DIR-868L dual-band router I have is the worst piece of trash router that I've ever bought.

It's got a WAN port and a 4 port gigabit switch on the back. If I connect to computers to that switch and copy files between them then the router will become unresponsive and drop wireless connections and stay this way until I reboot it.

My DIR-868L is just plugged into a switch using it's switch port and it has it's DHCP server and all that disabled. It does work fine for N and AC clients as long as just handles plain wireless connections.

Why on earth it would become a trashcan ("brick") if you connect two things to it's switch and use a little bandwidth is beyond me.

>>
>>61428511
Non-portable A/C units keep the condenser side air outside. So, for the most part, do portable A/C units with a two-hose setup. The one-hose setup pictured above mixes hot air from outside into the cold air inside just to blow half of it back outside, and is therefore inefficient and ineffective, therefore a piece of shit as per the thread title.

liked the phone as well.
i dropped it so many times onto concrete and it never broke.
left it in my back pocket a few times and fucked up the digitizer.
>typical fatass.
the only problem i had with the phone (which i think was common) was a bad lcd screen. the screen towards the bottom had some of defect that looked like somebody pushed the screen hard. there was a white spot that never went away.

>>61426386
>solder:
im too shaky to properly solder things. i probably would've had an easier time soldering it if it wasn't all plastic.
>research
true. but both times i was kind of in a bind.
headphones:
i needed replacement headphones quick. i only had about an hour before i missed the 2-day shipping window so i ordered the first one that looked like an upgraded version of my old earbuds.
phone:
same thing happened. previous phone broke.
kind of needed a new phone right away.
t-mobile stores don't have a lot of options for mid-range phones.
10 phones for under 150
8 phones for $400+
3 phones between $200-$300
i chose the updated version of my broken phone. the people on the forums who paid $99 were on MetroPCS who subsidized the phone. retail value was $300. if i had done any research, i probably could've found one floating on ebay for that price but the phone at that point wasn't even a month old.

but yes.
most of my problems with this phone could've been avoided if i had done any research.
usb-c audio: research
root: research
bluetooth headphones: research
even if i could properly solder and fix the headphone jack, i would still use the bluetooth headphones.
