>buy super thin tech like tablets or phones then put massive thick protective covers on them

I always buy super thin tech like tables or phones and then just let their screens break whenever the slightest force is applied.

>>61584890
Next you're going to tell me your house doesn't have fuses so you must put them behind every outlet which aren't compatible with 20 other European countries' plugs.

>>61584905
Wasn't the point. But some of us live in counties with ridiculous power prices.

>>61584928

>>buy super thin tech like tablets or phones then put massive thick protective covers on them
FUCKING THIS. I can appreciate the aesthetics and hand-feel of an iPhone but it's worthless if I can't trust it to not scratch, dent, or crack if I look at it wrong. The daintier the phone, the beefier and brick like the case will have to be.

not using power on standby != not wanting to waste power. Retard.

Fucking every time, kek. One of them has this bright blue and orange case on his iPhone, and he took it off just to show me how thin it was.

>>61585080
No, I'm happy with your mother's pussy every night

>>61584864
Why would your kernel need to do that? Isn't it the userspace that does that?
Either way, I need you to give me all the things you used to make that happen because I want a more American computing experience.

Standby uses virtually no energy on most modern appliances. You'll do more damage to your equipment by repeatedly switching on and off. It's not worth the £2.50 in electricity you'll save over a year

>>61585101
is this what /g/ has come to?

Go back to cripplechan, plebbit, twitter, facebook or whatever other communist echo chamber you came from. Just because retarded rightwingers aren't welcome that doesn't mean you are either.

All boomers in the tech field I know love the big bang theory. Pronounce GUI (gee you eye) as "Gooey". Had a boomer professor that had the Linux penguin as his Gmail icon but obviously didn't use Linux, was a brainlet Spanish guy who was probably just imitating the smart white guys he went to school with.
>In class with the same professor
>I'm an online student
>webcam on the board and the desktop feed can run simultaneously
>For some reason he turns one or the other off when he switched to board from the computer or vice versa
>Every single time
>I tell him he can leave both on because I can just manually adjust The feed sizes from my end
>He doesn't comprehend what I'm trying to tell him
>Classmates do and try to explain to him
>Still makes the same mistakes throughout the course

Buy super fast internet to watch YouTube 720p

Buy 2 or 3 year insurance for their $250 device, so they pay $390 in the end.

>>61584785

>>buy a $2500 4K HDR TV to watch 480p TV channels

Or worse, the other way round
Saw this boomer who had been memed into upgrading his satellite box to a 4k-capable one and was paying £££ extra for subscriptions to HD channels despite the box being hooked up to an old CRT

>>61585067
Jesus, Christ this.

More often an average user I deal with say "My PC is 2 years old so I need to upgrade."

Let's be honest burger, you need the exercise.

I have an old man tendency that I'm trying to get over.

I have the habit of turning off portable devices when not in use. The only exception being my tablet as its standby mode has been the most intuitive for me to adjust to.

I have learned recently that I really don't have to shutdown my laptop. That it really doesn't consume any battery to just be put into hibernation and thrown into my laptop bag and then I can just open it up and start using it way faster.

>>61588262
Every single professor and student I've ever interacted with says gooey. But doesn't pronounce UI as ooey.
