[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;51993410]Thinkpad people, from where do you get your thinkpad? eBay? Considering an X220 or T420[/QUOTE] I got an X220 on eBay. It was filthy as fuck and the buttons on the touchpad don't work but I cleaned it and use the clit mouse buttons anyway so now all is good. It's a great cheap laptop, I do recommend it. I'm running Mac OS on mine but it works great with either Windows or Linux (or all of the above) too. [editline]21st March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Dorkslayz;51993471]Same ayy lads...maybe worth updating the OP so it's crystal clear Speedtests = ban?[/QUOTE] do we really need to change "don't fucking do it" to "don't fucking do it or you'll be banned"? Follow instructions better
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;51992744]Firefox Mobile started being shit and slow again so I wanted to switch back to Chrome mobile but there was no way in hell I was giving up my ad blocker. Found the Brave Browser, it's a fork of Chromium that pretty much just adds a built-in Ad Blocker. Works pretty well.[/QUOTE] If it's hanging when trying to load a tab then it's an issue with uBlock Origin, not Firefox. Enabling tracking protection for all tabs works as a decent adblock without having to install anything extra.
[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;51993410]Thinkpad people, from where do you get your thinkpad? eBay? Considering an X220 or T420[/QUOTE] I just got my X230 on eBay. There's quite often just businesses offloading them and it's not hard to find one that's clearly sat at a desk it's entire life, in a dock and is in near pristine condition because of it, for a damn cheap price.

There's a pretty big difference. I don't get what the issue is with improving the clarity on the rule, like are you trying to make the rules harder to follow?

Can we make whining about getting banned for speedtests a bannable offense?
It's not like he had a day to whinge about it in the RC or anything.

i went outside earlier it was awful there was water coming from the sky really put a damper on my whole day
It's weird that posting a speed test result is bannable but I could (and did) make a post about my speeds getting randomly upgraded for free last time and that's fine Personally I think people should chillax in general and the focus should be about not having big bandwagon spans of a dozen people dickwaving their speedtests, while the one off "I'm excited! Look at my new speeds!" posts are fine

(Or I will ban you)
[QUOTE=Dorkslayz;51993956]I've got a life.[/QUOTE] Right, and that's the reason why you're getting so upset over a speed test ban on an internet forum :downs: [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Was warned" - OvB))[/highlight]
Long recordings using AVCHD is a terrible idea, it splits each file into 2GB segments and in between segments is a 1-2 frame delay which gets lost completely.
And now for something completely different: Have people given up on smartwatches yet? I just realized I haven't heard about them in forever, I no longer see people ostentatiously wearing them, and nobody's even talked about getting one. Is the stupid fad finally over? Do they even make them anymore?

When I'm currently in the middle of something, I'd want to see my notifications, maybe be able to read a text or email I'm not, however, going to type out a reply on a ridiculously tiny little touchscreen or look like fucking Dick Tracy talking into my watch in public, I'm just going to take my phone out and use that when I get the chance
i loved my moto 360 until it started being useless if the huawei watch eventually doesn't cost 250 dollars, i might pick it up

Do they even make them anymore?[/QUOTE] I'm still rocking a Moto 360 1st gen with no issues. It's a godsend for being in places where I'm not supposed to be checking my phone (like in the workplace or while driving) or just receiving notifications while the phone isn't in direct reach, and everybody I've talked to who doesn't see the purpose of them has never owned one to begin with in my experience. Don't feel like replacing it until it's totally dead, and a 360 v1 is about the worst you can pick for efficiency. However, it's been disappointing to say the least with how smartwatches have advanced. They don't need 4G and shoddy fitness trackers, they need as much battery life as possible. Mine sits on a charger whenever I'm home so it is never an issue, but if I'm on a distant trip or something I have to bring a dock or it'll die in a day and a half.
What is a good cheap phone that has 1080p HD, 60fps Recording, a Big Screen, Large internal Memory (fairly at least, more than 8gig), and good performance for games/multiple programs? I am eyeing a Moto G4 Plus, anyone else want to give their input?
On the other hand, I really wish OQO can somehow be reincarnated and keeps on making UMPCs like this guy: [t]http://thefutureofthings.com/upload/items_icons/OQO-Model-02+_large.jpg[/t] The UMPC game started way too early, but now we have a ton of ultra low power processors, I believe they can potentially thrive again.
