Doc Block posted:The storage options are 32 - 128 - 256, so if you still pay the extra $100 to get the midrange storage like you apparently did last time, how is 128GB less than 64GB? Because I don't need 128gb I really don't care all that much about the storage, I'm upset that the non plus phone gets shafted on the big feature. it makes me feel like I'm paying today's prices for last years phone and I'm not gonna do it this is apples new upgrade cycle, plus gets it first because "we can't do it due to size" and then the small phone gets it next year when "our engineers worked really hard to make it work". Like yeah ois adds thickness to the camera assembly but that's not why you made it 6+ exclusive, you wanted a defining feature to get people to pay an additional 120 bucks 30 TO 50 FERAL HOG fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Doc Block posted:LOL I don't "need" 128GB either, but it's the same price as last year's 64GB option, so why not? Jesus Christ just ignore the storage thing. if I were to buy one I'd get the 32gb because it's enough and that's great that it's an option without having to pay extra money but they've shown that the plus is the flagship and the standard is just an afterthought. I was hoping the 6 was just an outlier as they moved to the new sizes but it clearly is not. if you want the best features you'll buy the plus, and if not you can wait 2 years for it to be added to the non-s revision where you will have the privilege to pay today's prices for yesterday's phone the phablet is a joke of a form factor when sarnsung, lg, and asus do it. And it's a joke of a form factor when Apple does it 30 TO 50 FERAL HOG fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Sep 9, 2016 |

loquacius posted:What's the advantage of Apple TV supposed to be over Roku again every time i use a roku i feel like it must be running on a 8086, every button press on the remote takes a second to register, ui actions animate at like 5 fps they work but its clear that the os not optimized, the hardware underpowered, and the apps not held to any kind of standard that being said airplay is a turd, it works fine from a macbook but low power devices (iphones) skip and stutter if the wifi signal drops to anything less than perfect, which guess what: it will when you're walking around with your phone in your pocket there is no reason that media should actually stream from my phone. if you have itunes match itll get the song name from your phone and then stream from the cloud instead of your device but this doesnt do anything for pandora/spotify/etc 30 TO 50 FERAL HOG fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Sep 20, 2016 |

trilljester posted:There's no way to run emulators/etc on the ATV, right? That was one of the reasons I got a FireTV instead of the ATV, as I didn't want to build another computer for just emulators and what not. FireTV has been very needs-suiting. im gonna post seriously about emulators here for a second they suck theres a reason audio nerds obsess over chip tunes and buy old hardware and get program music on a SNES instead of doing it in loving fruity loops of what the gently caress ever go and buy an SNES, or NES, or whatever you want, buy the games you want to play. if youve got some money to blow get a scaler and do RGB mods on your consoles if not just go to goodwill an find yourself a nice big CRT tv (they're loving everywhere because nobody will take the things or even recycle them for free) your nes will never be worth a thousand dollars but itll never depreciate either. dont use a loving emulator

Uncle at Nintendo posted:I bought like twenty snes consoles in like 2012 when I was experimenting with how to fix the SNES vertical bar issue. Anyway I never spent more than $25 on each one on ebay. Since I was way too lazy to sell them, they are now worth around $100 each theres money to be made but its hard, for a while there i would go to goodwill and find a box with a genesis and a couple of controllers + 4-5 games for $5-10 regularly now theyve gotten smart and check ebay before they price stuff
