I get a new one in like 2 weeks :effort:

Turns out the worst time for a phone to just stop working is the day after you spent every dime you have to move to a new city for a new job

This thing was like 9 cents I think, and it's okay I guess but has basically no memory

oooh thats some good poo poo

i actually need to buy a bigger SSD, i have a 120gig SSD and i dual boot ubuntu/windows7 and my windows 7 has eaten through nearly all of its hard drive space. i have a 1tb HDD i use for storage/installation and poo poo, but i would like to put some things on the c drive everyonce in a while

my ubuntu installation still has like 50gigs free lmao

yeah part of my upgrade is at the very least replacing my 2tb internal that recently died. fuckin fml i was in the process of backing it up to ~the cloud~ too but it wasn't complete

i want a bigger SSD (256gb from like, 2012) but that's a down-the-road purchase. i'm planning on revamping the whole thing for an mITX case in a few months if trump hasn't killed trade yet

if a mouse is involved windows 1000000000% of the time

if a trackpad is involved, go for mac

and don't be that dude with the trackpad for your desktop, you have space for a mouse, it's superior, use it

macs are good up to a certain point and then loving laffo if you're dumping money into a 15in oled function bar nonsense machine

iphones are okay. i don't think i'll ever use em but in my line of work i'll probably get one in a few cycles, esp when all android phones purge the headphone jack

Is this something they're going to do? Killing the headphone jack on the recent iPhone was like, universally mocked

it's going down that route for a few ME TOO ME TOO manufacturers mainly the lovely ones like lenovo-owned motorola and poor HTC

i don't think it'll happen for awhile but it will eventually happen, it makes engineering easier and once usb-c headphones become more commonplace i can see it not being a big deal anymore

LG will probably keep it for awhile along with google's pixels. samsung will probably drop it in 2-4 years. i'm personally already making the move to bluetooth so after awhile personally it wouldn't matter to me

they're already doing this for their usb-c chargers

the charger itself costs $69 nicedollars. it doesn't come with a cable, and your $1000 laptop also doesn't come with an extension cable like they used to

I don't ever see wireless charging becoming a big thing, especially with however Apple will implement it bc they will also remove the charging port

"Do you like to use your phone while it is charging?" is a pretty big dealbreaker, and if you're snapping something onto the phone to connect it to a wall then it's not actually loving wireless is it

proprietary wireless charging protocol for the big bucks
