/g/ - Technology (Full Images)

More things that don't count (again, they're important as details, not as defining selling point):
>Those gay magnetic power cords
They get ruined really easy, yet tou can safely trip on them. Moot point I'd say.
>Thunderbolt
No one else uses it, no matter how good it is it's an obscure technology.
>OS X
Hackintosh

touchscreens are actually alien technology first seen in roswell, it just took that much time to reverse engineer them

No, they wouldn't know what the fuck to do with it. Technology to recreate the parts didn't exist. It would sit around like a brick for a long time. We might be about 5 years ahead of where we are now in current day, but that's not massive. I guess it counts though.

you just reminded me of how the plot of transformers made absolutely no sense
>megatron went to earth to turn their tech into transformers
>we find megatron and make technology based off of him

Oh well, xfire with room to breath in my Define R4 isnt the end of the world.

I'm going to use my old Samsung Monte as an example.

>use 3g connectivity
It had 3G, but internet browsing is terrible (cont. later)
>play a spectrum of audio and video files
I didn't test all, but WAV, MP4, MP3, WMA works.
>Stream youtube in an efficent way
Monte could stream youtube from the browser page, but holy shit it had terrible MPEG4 compression. It would play every video in 144p.
>Send and receive Whatsapp messages
Monte was before Whatsapp existed, but given that Facebook works near flawlessly on it (cont later), it would be possible.
>hot swap micro sd cards up to 32gb
Monte had up to 16gb :_:
Would definitely be possible, but not likely considering dumbphone users may generally not have that huge needs.
>Like posts on Facebook
Native Facebook app ish gud
>Download firmware OTA
Assuming they actually get firmware, shouldn't be hard, but I can't comment on this
>Nokia Slam feature to rapidly share files
No clue what this is
>Do that faster than regular bluetooth file exhanges
Considering Bluetooth file exchange is excruciatingly slow..
>live for 30 days on average
My monte lasted a week

>It is about being smart. Without a smartphone.

Bravo OP.

>Don't tell me you are effectively making use of the quad cores your smartphone has. Don't tell me you need a 1080p or Retina display for reading texts. This phone has all you need when you need it for an affordable price yet being aesthetically pleasing.

My consensus on smartphones:

Spending 1k on a smartphone isn't completely ill-conceived. Yes its a stupid amount of money for a device that can't fulfil all your needs like a PC or Laptop.

But consider most of the non-tech market. There are people where their only method of accessing the internet is from their smartphone.

>inb4 stop being a poorfag

Think your faggotty stereotypical hipster. They use the smartphones as their medium to access the internet. They don't seem to have a need for a PC with their "uses", so having a singular phone device that fulfils their needs is great, and the higher price tag is somewhat fulfilled for them, if they have only this one medium to access the web.

Another thing about smartphones functionality, is giving us more choices in what we want the phone to be, and what we want them to do. Look at all the ricing everything, all the modding, it allows the smartphone to be customized to how we want it.

Want a pip-boy smartphone? Sure
Want a minimalist text phone? Sure

Its the freedom of choice that is one great thing in smartphones.

That said, smartphones also do more than just that, as in being a full media player, which sorta justifies their large sizes (still weird for me), and that 1080p display is a good thing for those people who use it as a PMP, especially if they fall in the category of "no pc lel".

>inb4 stop shilling

Yeah he's right about the MSN part and it works great. But it is for chinese mostly like Line for the other asians

>>41554094
Does it allow inline picture sharing/display?

>>41554182
yeah

>>41554030
Those are pretty spot on in that price range

>>41554098
>I don't want my phone to be an actual phone

>>41554098
I guess you are the kind of person to take pictures with a tablet.

I have a 301 and a 515.

Only thing I don't like about the 515, is that the call log is hidden away deep in a menu. It's retardedly annoying to get to it, and it isn't very intuitive once you get into it.

>>41554171
>restricting features makes something more of a phone
no it doesn't

A cheap iPhone would make a great simple phone (text/call/email) but it'll never happen...

192KHz support is very common, what would you use more for?

>>41554035
Dacs are fairly expensive, i doubt there any with such high sample rate and below 200$. Sound cards are cheap commodity hardware.

>>41554062
Ultrasound output.

>>41554086
there's specialized hardware for that kind of thing

>>41554093
>budget <200$
I'm trying to create a cheap(as cheap as possible) experimental system similar to this, but with higher frequencies:

>complaining about not being able to install botnets for your botnets

>>41553989
you're supposed to leave them in the compressed file, the patcher converts them to .ico and implements them into the OS itself from that

>>41554000
to be honest, yes, and i know it's a shitty thing to do and i'm an asshole for doing that but i've looked everywhere else for answers. but at least i'm content with using my OS and not forcing my opinions on everyone else like the pathetic dicklord you are

>>41554022
Not forcing any opinions, just laughing at you :^)

whatever works for you buddy i ain't judging

thread is too old to delete

Does anyone have guides on:

>most minimal x11 install, without the 50 packages it installs by default including drivers for graphics cards you don't even have
and
>most basic things you need to install to get audio working (tried apt-get install alsa, but aplay -l said "no audio card found")

>>41554055
1. there should be a package available that is just the X server by itself, not the usual metapackage which includes tons of technically optional components
2. alsa and sound card drivers are usually provided as part of the kernel itself

Had to install Gnome because muh xfce crashed out of GUI after I chose the wrong theme from xfce settings...

Last time I did that I had two hours of downtime. I really should stop adding stuff to apt sources. Nobody seemed to notice though.

Point out where "the latter was part of your defense of the former" then.

>>41554006
I don't believe in the concept. You have to define your own shitlibisms, shitlib.


>Yes, those examples exist, no, they still aren't the majority and no, that still doesn't devalue that fact that human rights are enforced by most executive powers.

What majority are you referring to here? You don't seem to understand that by the very virtue of human rights being determined by majority opinion, this means they differ by race, culture, region and hosts of other demographics. You basically disprove their universality in your attempt to defend them.

Bump

Lol he posted a link to the audio that was received of him plowing his wife.

Bumping with what we have from last thread:

1. "Wofirrexa-4412" is 14 characters. SMS/MMS alphanumeric spoofed IDs can only be 11 characters max. iMessage sender IDs cannot be spoofed, and there's no indication that's a iMessage or Apple ID. This is where I'm stumped.

2. We narrowed it down to near certainty the recording came from either his wife's iPhone, his iPhone, or his laptop. The logistics of some other kind of physical recording device/bug make no sense, and any remote listening device is just silly.

It's most likely to be wife's iPhone. OP says she can't find Cydia or other evidence of Jailbreak which is weird, but that is definitely not ruled out.

>>41553694
sadly I don't think that it is possible

>>41553791
I'm kind of curious about the logistics but tech isn't really my area, I just browse /g/ for shit and giggles.

>>41553830
So fuck off.

Ex IBM employee reporting in. The only difference between the business models (t40-t430 etc) and the student models. Are that the business models are more robust still. They are still the original IBM thinkpad quality where the others are shitty lenovo quality.

IMO I would rather get a new t430 with extended battery and 8gig ram than any G-series

>>41553474
I figure it'll hold up well in whatever I want to do really. Plus I like to play some cpu intensive games every now and then like anything blizzard-made/minecraft(although only play to make mods now)

>>41553515
Gotcha, that's what I figured. With that being said, would it not matter the difference in quality assuming I don't throw around the laptop a lot and have it plugged in most of the time?

bump, sorry to keep the thread going... I'll let it die soon.

alright, the g510 it is!

>>41553351
Nope, didn't work

>>41553427
You did all that in less then 7 mins.
Try again by that order, AND FLASH the bios son.

Sounds like something with the motherboard, if switching graphics cards doesn't solve the problem, and switching RAM around gives different results.

The issue is only related to video, or does the whole system crash randomly?

Also, do you know what those issues were that the comp had and stuff like that?

>>41553245
My bought my parents a Compaq Presario SR1010Z about 10 years ago (very similar to what you have).

In my experience the onboard video sucks. There is something wrong with the connection. It monitor turns a shade of red when the computer table is bumped or shaken slightly. At one point I put in an old video card I had and everything ran fine.

I never messed with the RAM on that computer. It only has 512MB total. And the onboard gfx uses 64MB of the RAM (the amount is adjustable in the BIOS).

When I installed Lubuntu on it I found that there were no video drivers under Linux for the onboard gfx (at least I haven't found any to this date). Here are some of the links I found back in the day:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=38

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1034812

Currently I use Lubuntu on that PC and I don't have proper video drivers for it. And it looks like shit.

To summarize: I have 2 issues
1) No proper video drivers
2) Funky red screen at times (probably a connector issue).

I no longer have a video card in the box, but when I did it worked fine under windows and linux.

I have no idea if my problems are related to your problems. But the hardware is similar so I thought I would share.

Good luck.
