The whole point of buying from the chinks is to get stuff cheaper

And looking from the prices they are not

they're cheaper than kindles and kobos

and offer more features

they are cheaper than if the same thing was made by samsung or apple

they seem expensive becasue nobody else makes them

they're competing against paper

and paper is one of the cheapest things on the planet

Not really

After the 6th or 7th book you brake even if you torrent the books

Chink eink is stupid

Amazon makes like no god damn money on the Kindles cuz they get a killing on ebooks and audiobooks

Just buy a used Kindle Paperwhite and pirate literally everything

Also color eink has been made but it hasn't been commercialized because it's probably pissing expensive and looks like ass

What would you do with a tegra note 7

It is old and doesnt seem to be able to run smoothly

flash lineage without gapps because google's bloat in any form slows everything down and then use fdroid

if you cant do that then do what they designed it to do at this stage and buy a new one. planned obsolescence

Would using an seedbox increase my download speed of torrents ?

if the seedbox has a faster connection than you do, maybe

the answer is *kind of*, but in my case its yes. I've had a feralhosting slot for over a year and I get more consistent download speeds from sftp to the server rather than torrenting

I use the upload far more than the download though

my method is pure unadulterated autism

so I have 50TB of OneDrive space

I download off my seedbox and put it there as cold storage and download whatever I need off OneDrive as the DL is fast as fuck

Nice

im going to china next week; i was planning to buy a tablet / laptop on-site; any good taobao recommendations?

I recommend you don't buy a laptop from taobao

go and check out the laptops at the physical mi stores

i was positively surprised when i visited one in shanghai

Generally don't buy it online if you are there anyway @Kahvitauko

You mean the Mi Notebook Airs?

I have a Mi Notebook Air

AMA

i always ogle at those at the shops

@Deleted User How is it performance wise

Build quality

GIB

Performance is OK, I have the core m3 version which is the slowest, and it doesn't feel slow

Build quality is 10/10

Disassembling and changing parts is easier than it looks like on the internet
