iPhones

designs for gaymen laptop, keyboard, mouse

Applel in general

G-sync, Apple products in general, in other words anything that refuses to adopt open standards but creates their own instead which only works in their ecosystem. Those companies and people who defend them should be sent to the sun on a rocket. I want progress, not slowed down progress due to legal technicalities.

Fuck off mouse hotkeys are really useful

All "free software", everything that is GPL licensed. It's a sickening jew plot to extract free labour out of humans and kill innovation, exactly like socialism did. Now we are stuck on corporations too greedy to invest long-term in awesome moonshot projects (think: Xerox PARC back in the days, or Data General, or early Sun Microsystems, or NeXT or any inspiring tech corporation before late 90's really) and 70's OS paradigm Linux as "good enough". All the ambition is dead, we can't have nice things anymore.

All GPL software, its makers and most of all its proponents are tech equivalent to small-souled bugmen.

All tech.

i dont like those keyboards either, theyre not fucking practical. also ultrawides. they dont really piss me off but theyre kind of a meme. if your gonna go ultrawide go all the way with a 3840px wide monitor. a single 2560x1080 ultra is stupid

this, I can understand regular back lighting on the basis of personal taste but the rainbow shit has spread so far in computer components where it's just a gimmick, at least on certain things it's a gimmick that's vaguely useful

he said designs, as in aesthetics.

Definitely agree on both counts, as a 16:10 user with a full size model M

anyone know how i can port key bindings from one computer to another if im using xmodmap from terminal? i want a comfy config but i dont want to have to manually set it up for every computer i use my keyboard with

what... what does the hack key do?

Bad mystic strawman, get off my lawn.

This. Just get a normal keyboard.

Thinkpads
VR headsets

You mean to tell me this isn't practical? I really don't like ultrawides. I think they're stupid. I will never leave my 4:3 and 16:10 monitors.

i know you werent being serious but fuck those keyboards annoy me.

>those fucking keyboards
I just don't understand, how the fuck do you get anything done when you need to fn lock like it's cruise control for cool?

The only keyboard I would want is a spacesaver model m, or really anything buckling spring without the numpad.

or get no iPhone at all

i have five of those, in different colors. every time someone visits, i switch to one of them and hide my g710+ lmao

more like t. i have a $1000 android phone because i don't buy phones that make it look like i got money, i actually do got money

how do you type numbers?

Fair enough
Plus overclock and easy root is always a bonus

Smartphones

All ethier severely flawed or just straight up garbage

>All "free software", everything that is GPL licensed. It's a sickening jew plot to extract free labour out of humans and kill innovation, exactly like socialism did.
That explains the BSD license. Because corporations can take software that is the result of free labour and then close the source and sell it.

tbf if somebody comes into your residence and tries to access your computer this is probably good security (to an extent)

Marketing old technology as new has always pissed me off. VR headsets for one - stereoscopic screens and accelerometers have existed for well over 20 years now but they still market them as something new. Touchscreens as well. Normalfags can't tell the difference between new technology and new marketing methods.

YOu're onto something but those are the worst possible examples. Name one thing from before 2010 that's like a VR headset and was consumer affordable

This. Most laptops on my price range and spec requirments looks like a cheap head unit had sex with a Christmas tree.

>You mean to tell me this isn't practical?
Not if you are doing actual work, like blendering.

Linux distributions, Free™ software (that is actually shite, like Libreoffice or SYSTEMD) and, while they aren't really technologies, Linux and Free Software YouTubers like The Linux Gamer who are "al abut linox and softwer fridom" but have no fucking idea what they're talking about really make my fucking skin crawl.

I had blank caps when I was as a gaymer back in high school and my mom wanted to Skype with her sister and she said she couldn't figure out how to use keyboard.

I fucking hate this place

y tho

Cause I wanted to be cool with my first mech keyboard. 2009 was a dark time.

When people think AI is real and not a marketing gimmick intended to make people hyped up for virtual assistants that give scripted answers to questions or retrieve basic information from web search results.

they don't piss me off becouse i don't care what other people use but personally i'd never use anything short of a fullsize with numkeys

I guess that makes sense user. We all just wanted to be somebody.

why do some of you hate mechanical keyboards?

Smartphones of any kind.

In fact, cell phone of any kind.

Fuck cell phones. I do not enjoy people being able to interrupt me at any time, anywhere I happen to be. No, I do not enjoy being able to communicate with other people any time I wish to, anywhere I happen to be.

I do not own a cell phone. I do not pay cell phone bills. People cannot bother me. People cannot expect me to be able to communicate with them when I am out and about.

I am free.

To add to this:

The government cannot spy on my location or listen to / record me with always-on microphones and cameras.

Be very, very concerned once the government starts giving cell phone away for free and/or making ownership of them mandatory.

You're very lonely aren't you?

Why would I be lonely because I can't send texts or make phone calls when away from my house?

I use email and have a VOIP number I use only from my desktop or laptop.

I do not enjoy constant contact communication with my girlfriend. It is not natural, and degrades relationships. I appreciate the time I spend with her more since we actually have things to talk about/update each other on since we don't send 30k text messages per day to one another.

Constant contact communication is a waste of time and degrades the quality of human relationships.

Also, cell phones are spying on you, always, all the time. Even if you feel you "have nothing to hide", it's immoral to submit to such surveillance. The data is fed into huge databases that are analyzed by AI to run world simulations, which are used to generate propaganda and manipulate mass consciousness via artificial events.

>The data is fed into huge databases that are analyzed by AI to run world simulations, which are used to generate propaganda and manipulate mass consciousness via artificial events.
Got any data on that? Or even someone doing a presentation or whatever. Sounds interesting. Even if it's from a conspiracy theorist publication, I want to see it.

>Be very, very concerned once the government starts giving cell phone away for free

Thats a thing now , lots of states may offer you one if you apply for assistance

or you could just encrypt and prevent them from accessing it in this lifetime

Julian Assange has spoken about AI created propaganda: rt.com/viral/392119-assange-humanity-ai-propaganda/

It's already happening and has been for some time.

We are in a deep war with AI: hooktube.com/watch?v=cYiTM2UTQX0

All data that flows through the Internet, ALL of it, is harvested by the NSA and stored in places like the Utah Data center. The entirety of Internet traffic. This is accomplished by fibre optic line mirroring at the backbone infrastructure level.

All cell phones log your location and constantly phone it home. Google *just* got caught doing this and they, just when Apple was caught, said "oops what a weird bug! We'll fix that I promise!".

You cannot disable it. Turning off your phone does not stop it: techdirt.com/articles/20130723/12395923907/even-powering-down-cell-phone-cant-keep-nsa-tracking-its-location.shtml

Cell phones can have their firmware and OS software updated wirelessly without user permission, and they do so constantly. You cannot disable this. The cell companies call it a feature.

The amount of data harvested by cell phones is staggering: Constant monitoring of the geographic position of every single one, monitoring of WiFi hotspot connection status/name/MAC, constant microphone listening and conversion of speech to text (sent to NSA), monitoring of which phones are near other phones via metadata collection (this is also done at the local law enforcement level with IMSI scanners, no need to even access the cell network) and bluetooth MAC (logs which people spend time with which other people and for how long), biometric data (such as fingerprints and facial recognition data are stored in a database forever, and if you connect fitness devices things like heart rate).

On the surface you might think "why does this matter, how is that useful?" It becomes useful when you have software, AI, that can scan these massive datasets and make predictions.

the rainbow shit is just for demo, the point is you can set any color so it's like regular back lighting but programmable

Sup Forums still defeated it
Sup Forums is like AI but with actual wetware... lots of shitposting but some good things come out of it

Stuff that doesn't work as it should/advertised.
Apple MacBook Air, not a laptop, but penis warmner...

fags in general

Glowing keyboards and mice. It's a waste of money and doesn't even look that good.

this so much. what's worse it that its appeal ruins some genuinely good products. my logitech g403 is the most comfortable mouse i've ever used and would look much better if it embraced a professional look rather than have a giant LED logo in the middle

Intel. Not joking or trolling one bit.

This one's all I need ;)

I just use a Logitech k750 now.

Yep. Anything smaller than TKL is utter faggotry.

Kek
If this helps you sleep at night, sure user

What this guy said.
Rainbow is faggy as fuck and blinds you anyway.

But making your own programmed profile that just does what you want is pretty nice. And I wouldn't say that if I didn't buy an RGB keyboard cheaper than non-RGB during black friday.

What appeared to be a gimmick ends up being pretty comfy in the end. I had a nice christmas backlighting.

Well said user.

Guys, it's fucking obvious that someone who solders his fucking key switches himself doesn't do actual work.

What is wrong with that goddamn picture?

one two three

Smartphones all around now, planned obsolescence, none-removable batters, same design all around, and awful OS for various of reasons between Android and iOS, also no universal way of installing different OS's. Fuck the current smartphone market.

> should be sent to the sun on a rocket
Will waste too much valuable resources. Lets just process them and use as ferilizer.

Condoms. Scientists need to up their game.

real talk how the fuck do you type numbers on a 30%?

Not /fa/, that's just some reddit shit

>that pic

windows

Android tablets.
I just want a tablet for watching stuff on and pulling up instruction manuals, but all the android tablets are complete and utter trash that never get updated. At this point I'm seriously considering an iPad. At least I should be able to jailbreak it and have some level of customizability.

You don't. Hipster faggots don't understand numbers, just HAX.

>All data that flows through the Internet, ALL of it, is harvested by the NSA and stored in places like the Utah Data center. The entirety of Internet traffic.

Isn't that a retardedly huge amuont of data?
Even for AI that's a stupid level of data processing.

>This is accomplished by fibre optic line mirroring at the backbone infrastructure level.

Wut? Phones are shady, and I eagerly await the day a F/OSS phone appears on the market, but this just sounds like technical jargon used to convince laypeople you know what you're talking about. You're making valid points in general, this one just seemed off.

Also, I wouldn't call it AI. More (machine) learning programs/algorithms. I feel like the meaning of AI is being distorted by media using it in such contexts. These analysis programs get very very good at predicting one thing. Not exactly intelligent.

OLED is beautiful until you pass out with a channel logo on all night.

Phone cases
>oh I bought a phone for $700, better get a $100 fuckugly block of plastic to encase it in

phone cases cost like a few bucks from china

Honestly it seems to me that modern phones are meant to be used with cases and never naked.

Like I dropped mine from like 30cm on tarmac and it ended with huge fucking dent in metal and small nick on edge of screen so now I have chink silicone case and replace it every 6 months or so when it starts to yellow.

Not the "designer" ones I keep seeing normies buying
