Yes sirs buy redmi poo 7 sirs veri gud fone

I kid. You guys actually saved me from possibly getting my crypto and accounts stolen

Thanks, though either way i was going to reflash. At least i know now

It's really weird how you would get ads

If you paid premium for it yeah

tbh there are ads for some regions in the stock OS as well

like india for example

but as an EU fag I've never seen any <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Ill try the legitimate mi OS and see if i like it

I wonder, besides malicious ROMs what are some other ways vendors can chink their buyers?

Oh lmao uh there was a thing with the Mi A1 where they were flashing whole fake hardware images to unlock the bootloader early

But for a point of contention, I didn't see a single add on my RN4X

Got it from Goybeast

i rooted and flashed ASAP

I'm now /no-bootloader-unlock/ gang

Nokia 7 Plus

LOS + magisk

since I smashed my Xiaomis screen

First time I've broken the glass on a phone. Sad!

Was thinking about getting the nokia 8

Me too. Well, the bulgy battery did it to the screen more like

@StickyDonutHoles did your phone come with a quick charger?

Nope

jesus christ

uninstalled office

35 gigs freed up

you could just have left the office and saved your sanity

this is why you use the damn tool to install it so you dont get anything else but excel

no power point or access?

i kinda like access. it's useful :)

only stuck with word, powerpoint, excel and a couple others and those only take up 5 gigs

👌

powerpoint.. the powerpoint where you dont even have fucking "replace image" option

no thanks

@Tervy what was the tool again?

my cracked version had the "tool" in the install wizard

or, should I say, precracked version

libreoffice and google docs exist

Libreoffice sucks

how so

seems pretty good to me

Crashes often

on windows maybe

its been fine for years on various linux distros for me, but i admit theres something strange about it on windows

atleast last time i tried it on windows years ago. you do know they update software and fix stuff right?

Yeah but it doesn’t help

could you be specific

says vague

ha

anyway an actual complaint about libreoffice is that it doesnt support the most obscure new features microsoft keeps adding to look busy. but itll still do your shitty 5 paragraph essays with the normal stuff like double spacing and 12 point new times romans with headers and footers and page numbers and save to docx and pdf and none of my professors have ever complained or noticed anything

except i think one time like 3 years ago but i cant remember if i accidentally submitted the wrong format that wasnt docx

Tervy?

Libre office is what i mostly use but indeed they had quite bad crashing problem on windows what took them some time to find and their word processor if missing at least 2 functions (they are under works tho) . Google sheet is really bad even as multiuser spreadsheet option, sheester, etherchart etc are way better on that front (and microshit excel is total shit when it comea to multiuser stuff )

Then there is few more exotic options what do their job equaly or just miss few options

(Calligra anyone ? )

office 365 which is online and free

Lol no

I mean sure if you want to use em, but for me thats a nope mostly due superior and not dependant stuff exists

Latex

largely replaced by nitrile tbh

and LaTeX is not really suitable for research and fast notes its more aimed to write the things clean and publish

not to mention the immense size of full latex installation

not that average joe ever needs full install

but most dont even know what and what they dont need

Yeah, but we're on the topic of essays? If we aren't just take a piece of paper and a pen..

oh wait nvm I get what you mean

scanned essays to pdf is best word processor

@Tervy o365 online isn't terrible honestly

it's about on par with gdocs

but their multiuser is absolutely dreadful between web and app

had to use it for a project and if we both were logged in at the same time we wouldn't be able to see each other or our changes

and saving would revert the others changes if they had saved while you had the document open

Ended up just installing the app and uploading each revision of the file to Google Drive

>horrible summer heat

Are ACs /g/

I have a portable AC but it sucks

it's extremely loud and only suitable to cool down half of the bedroom

so to use it, I have to move the bed to the windowside

Im gonna break bank for an AC in my room, it is uninhabitable

It's hard to pick between brands

I've read some funny reviews on a brand I'm looking to buy: TCL

The Indians are shitting all over it

Pun maybe intended

https://m.mouthshut.com/air-conditioners/TCL-Split-Air-Conditioner-reviews-925052052

>it is not very very good so therefore it is very very bad

Just buy the same mitsubishi as everyone else <:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

Buy one over specced for the room size

So you can make your room a comfy 66 degrees

just stand in the corner good sir no worries about the cold after that

||you know why||

@Frederica Bernkastel I have a TCL, don't do it

Really, don't do it

They're cheap af but I found out the reason the hard way (or, the hot way)

|| test ||

|| stop clicking me ||

|| I said stop ||

|| HELP, POLICE! ||

🚔

@Deleted User Unironically pitch a tent in your bedroom and let the AC handle that. Smaller volume = easier = better. Also extremely autistic. 👌

That sounds extremely fun

I'll consider next summer

But then I need a chinkshit tent

military surplus tent is probably cheaper and better

you could just try segmenting the room with dividers

Or make a pillow Fort

i thought you meant pitch a tent as in get a boner

and then use the ac to cool the boner

needless to say i was very confused

what smartphone should i buy for my father

he has never used a smartphone before

don't know if its the right channel to ask

Right channel yes. That question is hard tho

Id say cheapest up to date ios device (new)

They are walled gardens and foolproof

only Xiaomi ever xd

Thoo considering if your dad only wants "phone" id say any android what has "simple mode"

iPhone is idiot proof if he sets up an email he's basically set tho

https://chinesetech.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Huawei-Honor-X1-Simple-Mode.jpeg what i mean with " simple mode"

Whereas Android I've had to deal with "Why does my home button keep changing" when they were downloading new launchers lamo

Ooh that looks neat

I think that easy/simple mode is huawei only perk tho

Samsung has one and Xiaomi had one

and there are similar launchers but they're always adware as fuck

Oo samsungs have one these days too ?? Neat

I know xiaomis at least had something similar

It's called easy mode and they've had it for a very long time

S2 didnt iirc

Last time i used sammy

I loved my samsung Galaxy S4. It's a shame I accidentally threw it into the ground at Mach 8

i used an s5 for about 100 years

the only reason i have an lg v20 now is because my mom said i should get a new phone and paid for the whole thing

and im not gonna say no to a free phone

I love my LG G6, have no plans to upgrade until this one shits the bed, explodes, or no longer holds a charge

Fuck the LG g4 though. Bootlooping piece of shit

yeah i have no plans to upgrade for a long long time

heck, i jsut got the v20 at the end of last year

and the v20 had been out for a long time at that point

i specifically chose it becasue it has a removable battey

and i refuse to get a phone without one

isnt that going to become increasingly difficult

do you have a backup v20

Yes, yes it is.

or multiple

yeah im on the v20 train for the long haul

until removable batteries become normal again

if the v20 dies, i still have my galaxy s5 that works fine i can use til i get a new v20

im hoping that eventually all the features that have been phased out of phones lately will come back in style

removable batteries are nice, but not really needed for me

since modern batteries are mostly 4000mAh+

and the battery in my phone is easy to change

i keep my phones for so long that if the battery wasnt removable, it would force me to get a new phone

plus im one of those guys that likes to take out the stock battery and replace it with a 10000mah battery and make their phone the size and weight of a brick

on my phone you just unscrew two philips screws, disconnect the fingerprint ribbon cable, unscrew 10 smaller philips screws, and remove the battery connectors

hard to screw up

i would do that sort of thing with my phone but im afraid of the replacement batteries in general or batteries in the unopened ones degrading over time in the warehouse, unmaintained. then when those are gone the 'refurbished' phones are always just used phones from other people with little more than being wiped, and the reason those are being sold instead of being used is that the batteries are shot anyway

yeah replacing a 'nonremovable battery' can be easy depending on the phone

this is my phone

if i tried to put a big battery like this on a phone that didnt have a removable battery it would both be bigger and have less capacity

so im gonna stick with this til removable batteries come in vogue again

they make battery cases for some phones

i had a big battery like that for my s5 as well

yeah i know they do, but they are even bulkier with less capacity

im curious about that

whats your capacity

10k

thats a lot

i like not having to charge my phone

thats impressive. im going to see i can find a battery case like that

i doubt there are many

theres a 10k case for the galaxy note 8

or there used to be at one point

man modern phones kinda suck

yeah

and thats why im sticking with my old phones til the phone manufacturers get their head out of their butts again

i think its more likely to get worse before it gets any better

https://www.google.com/search?q=smartphones+sales+decline

i think theyre going to keep making them worse so people are more likely to replace them after two years because less people are wanting to keep buying them

picking proper phones also helps with the issue

dont pick the "2600mah/ 3200mah" bullshit

6000mAh or around there

and proper amoled display with true black background

you can get easily week of lifetime from the phone

as much as i would love removable battery its just health risk to anyone not only "so-so" knowledge about them

but what manufacturers should do is stop fucking gluing/welding that shit to phone/case itself to prevent professional/hobbyist repairs

how are they a health risk?

things with even smaller replacable batteries have been around for decades

cause people want to punch the faggots who cant into electronics and end up breaking something badly

and shit like this just wont have nearly enough juice for devices these days

cause everyone wants their phone to be able to run fucking skyrim vr and crysis simultaneously

so the chips in them are way too overpowered (8gb of ram in a fucking phone ?? please...)

as are the fucking apps

and the coding in most apps ios or android is outright fucking disgusting

like this said discord

electron itself is relatively decent tool

but sometimes "native" app would have been better choice

than glorified browser

i easily get away with having an old phone because the only thing i use my phone for other than calls and texts is use clover before i go to sleep

phone is work tool for me in most cases (even tho most used thing in it is still dialer and email

and i get by with old phone and get week~ish lifetime on it

but thats me running underclocks,no eyecandy (why the fuck my menus need transition when they could be instant) and other trickery to make already huge battery last way longer

i get by with mine by using my phone for calling and basic stuff and occasional hotspot to the second old phone that was flagship that i use for dumb stuff like newpipe and manga, that i cant just use outright because its verizon

i mean if you can make portable IP-phone use 3.5mA of energy (give or take) on idle (deepsleep+electronics)

and it during call uses around 150mA (if even that)

how the fuck can 3000mA devices last a day in idle these days

hardware backdoors

save and send screenshots

not even that but just outright retard apps what want to ping home etc

and bad battery management tools for hardware (hardware manufacturers can be blamed on that too tho)

same situation is with laptops tho

64Wh battery on fucking laptop

i was inpressed with my dell's bios option to limit the battery charge and specify at what level it starts charging again from

and it sucks it dry in 3 hours of use

like what in the actual fuck

the use being browsing web on dim screen and no candy

sounds like windows

windows is suppose to be ok battery wise if you install the manuaferer bloatware / drivers

indeed on windblows .. said model gets more horrible stats on linux for some od reason (im still debugging why the fuck)

(gl502vs)

i do understand that it has decent hardware

but its not excuse for decent hardware to work on minimal clocks and disable (gpu+all extra devices) on idle

woah its got a desktop graphics card that isnt a mobile version

(this is where hardware switch for wifi and bluetooth could come fucking handy

it also has fucking huge battery and weights like cement bag

holy crap it looks almost exactly like mine on the inside

btw see that heatpipe layout

its probly one of most retarded things existing

2 heatpipes what bass by each other very closely

i misremembered

you can replace the 84 with a 62 and have space for a harddrive though

it weighs a bit over 5 pounds

to sum it up https://lbda.net/ahdU.png

either those heatpipes are 1 way honed

but according to burnmarks on my legs.. that is not the case

ouch

(joking on the burnmarks) but yeah it gets kind of hot when im doing anything related to work

not to mention during proper use i need to remove battery ":D" so it wont drain while its plugged in and i use it at full power

it might been that i didnt load it at that one time i noticed it

but im pretty sure i saw my battery going down instead of up while it was plugged

(and thats how you create terrorist cells

in this case right above my legs/nuts with 4020mAh

is that a battery cell joke or a cancer joke

battery cell

hmmm

but enough ranting for one day today

do any of y'all have a good place to buy a replacement screen for the pocomeme

i found a place that sells the original screens, but it seems a bit sketchy
