[QUOTE=Van-man;50982927]:disgust: Matte black or bust.[/QUOTE] I dunno, I really like the Space Gray MacBook (which is also the color I picked) - pictured on right: [t]http://i.imgur.com/Uw72B4x.jpg[/t] When you get into that higher end where everything is a metal substance of some sort I don't actually like matte black. But I mean in context of ThinkPads and shit, yeah, that's a good color choice.

[QUOTE=Van-man;50983877]Quality anodized matte black is best black Thanks Lian-Li for introducing me to it[/QUOTE] I never have luck with anything anodized, it always flakes off no matter how high quality it claims to be.

Even worse than silver of any sort.
As a press operator with ink on my hands most of the time, a white phone is the absolute worst.

So I moved out from my parents house to somewhere else closer to my internship. I don't think they've got good wifi connections though, speedtest isn't supposed to go -7Mb/s and then crash. :v:
I love the gold color, but I despise the matte gold that has been popping up. Everything just look like cheap ripoffs of what they could actually look like. I can do Silver/Black or the anodized matte black for my tech devices. Get that bright white shit away from me.
I guess it's homeplug time!
I'm also fond of the dark blue that Samsung does for their devices too. [editline]1st September 2016[/editline] shit balls my merge ;-;

[QUOTE=Levelog;50984957]I saw so many matte black and grey cars when I was in Scandinavia.

I'm still a big fan of matte white cases, sue me.

Although I'm unsure about filament for 3D printers if you want to go that route.

htc one x is the prettiest phone i've ever owned (shame about the hardware) i also love how the nexus 5 looks in regards to the [sp]n9[/sp], i had both a black matte and a white glossy lumia 920 and i like the black one more tbh

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50985901]The gap on the right plug.[/QUOTE] I see that there's a gap, I just can't figure out what benefit that gives. I'm pretty sure that won't make it work as a reversible connector, at least not with a standard USB port, which is the obvious thing USB has needed.

You can plug the USB connector into any type A connector in either orientation. [img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51RnuU2lfwL.jpg[/img] Why was this not a thing earlier? Why is it only a thing now that Type C has buttfucked it into obsolescence? I think we can all agree this would of been amazing.
[QUOTE=pentium;50985972]Oh, but it does. You can plug the USB connector into any type A connector in either orientation.[/QUOTE] I don't see how that would physically work unless the center bit moves.
On all USB A sockets the connectors are on the side. Plugs typically have their plugs on the opposite side. This plug has the contacts in the middle with a gap on either side of equal distance so it does not matter which way you plug it in you have a good fit and electrical connection. That photo just looks like shit.
