My new years resolution was to stop getting sick every other week. I've kept it this far :] or, well, I've ignored when the viruses start to stir.

*reads last page*

AHA not that kind of virus. lmao

Tsutarja February 21st, 2015 6:56 AM

I see tech talk, and nobody invited me?

FWIW, Macs have been less and less vulnerable to viruses as the years turn. It's various distros of Linux that are the most immune, really.

My family and I use to have a Mac; we've had it since 2009 until it died on us on December 2014. We replaced it with one of our spare Windows computers.

I'll buy a Mac when I'm rich. It's only a matter of time.

Pendraflare February 21st, 2015 8:54 AM

Haha we're gonna steal Zach's activity from his forum :P

Anyway, while I do like my MacBook, there are things that I found my Windows computers to do better in a couple ways. Although the Mac has the dashboard, which I find to be a nice feature.

If my income permits, I may jump the gun and buy a Macbook. But I want an iPad first. iPads are pretty cool.

Yesss, I'm barely ever on my laptop now that I have an iPad -w-

I've had to clean and repair a macbook once, it was not a fun job, they are so much of a pain with parts. :|

Its like a german made car (IE. BMW), it needs specialty hardware to be fixed.

Meganium February 21st, 2015 9:36 AM

I fixed Macbook PCs during my college externship. Yeah they were no fun at all, but it actually served me as actual experience. I want to familiarise myself with both Mac & PC in terms of hardware.

Oh, yeah. Its amazing to have knowledge of both hardwares and softwares. :)
But in all honestly, its nice to learn these tools out since you can start making your own PC or Mac.

More importantly, the quality has declined substantially, as its probably past the point were quality control is maintainable. I mean come on, on the android side, you can easily get something as good or even better for 250 if you know where to look. And of course the ZTE was awful for you, its ZTE! Lenovo or Huawei are the good chinese companies.

My second Galaxy Reverb was dirt cheap. It's locked to Virgin Mobile but that doesn't really matter as their service is great (unlimited everything for $55/mo, and as low as $35 for unlimited data + text and limited talk). Weighs so nice in my hand, custom ROM, 16GB Micro SD card, all my music, custom backing, lovely battery life... wanna know how much I paid for it?

$80 outright, brand new. Those phone subsidies are scams.


By the way, I was looking at potentially getting one of those flagship phones, and goog God was the service setup with the major carriers awful. AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon want to give me a really shitty list of options to choose from where you're paying out the ass for anything less than their overpriced unlimited plan, and on top of that you're locked into a subsidy with it too. My mind was blown why so many people use these gimmicky providers when there's VM on the Sprint data network across the country for so much less.




My repair shop does not fix My First Computer™s, sorry. I do actual PCs.


Never in a million years will I voluntary use those glossy, white, homoerotic toys. Seriously, don't they look the least bit gay, in the shape and texture? I know what I could do with a smooth, white, soft, rounded object

Poki February 21st, 2015 12:30 PM

Well, Sony VAIO is a bitch when it comes to vent-cleaning, 'cause you gotta take the whole fucking thing apart.

The lady doth protest too much

Chikara February 21st, 2015 1:16 PM

..."Homoerotic" and shouldn't be used to describe anything that isn't homoerotic by it's literal definition lmao >w>;

Alexander Nicholi February 21st, 2015 1:44 PM

I may hate the product, but I can't deny the design.

Anyway, what's wrong with using the word in a non-literal sense? lmao

Because you used it to describe something you dislike. It's in the same realm as saying "that's gay" with intent to offend, when the word itself is otherwise irrelevant. not trying to start a thing here, just saying that wasn't a very kind usage of the word.

Negative + Gay =/= Unacceptable. Pretending there isn't another side to the gay coin makes no sense, honestly. Isn't that a bit politically correct, anyway?

"Kind usage" - I'm offended by that. Telling me I ought to be full of cake and rainbows because I'm talking about dicks is ridiculous

Chikara February 21st, 2015 2:08 PM

I think you missed the point of what I was trying to say -w-; It's alright to be on either side of the coin, but it's not alright to disregard how your words can effect others.

Anyway, I love my iPhone. I had an Galaxy SII before I got my iPhone 5C(green yesss), and I fell in love with it. I spent so long customizing my Galaxy, that I was just never happy with it. Got frustrating after a while. Don't have that problem with the iPhone owo

Alexander Nicholi February 21st, 2015 2:19 PM

I think something was lost here, in the line of communications (as always the problem is). Sorry I didn't clarify well enough before, but I quite frankly find the products homoerotic. It's not like X 13 y/o boy calling something "gay" to be funny. They quite literally look sexualized to me, and I find that out of place for computer appliances.

As for the items, overall I think they're just flashy and overpriced. You pay a lot more for a lot less in the abstract and get shiny glossy casing and a special logo you could spend $40 to have embossed anyway... it's just capitalism honestly. Selling things because people will buy, regardless of whether the consumer wins out. It's all about marketing and that's smart business. I may hate the merch but the massive success of them despite their lacking demeanor is amazing on the behalf of Apple.

Well then "homoerotic" isn't the right word to use. If they seem sexualized, then you'd just say "erotic" or "romanticized", unless you meant think they're gay as well. Which you say that's not what you meant to imply. Unless you mean you think they're made to seem better than they are, which

you delved into here. Either way, doesn't matter, just "homo" doesn't fit in there anywhere.

I'm really really unsure what to do with this conversation but I'm gonna ask that we wrap it up now lmao
