I use my smartphone for the same things I use my computer. Mainly web browsing if I want to know something/show something. Also for communication. Then comes taking photos or printing tickets or other files directly to my printer without turning on my PC.
Hi, I just bought a new PC this week and I thought a little about all the PCs and smartphones I had in the past.
So I made a list. Maybe you also want to indulge a bit in nostalgia or comment on my list :).
Smartphones: 2008 - Nokia 5800: still have it laying around and it works. Although not always with the current standards. The wifi code prompt is with a PSK (pre shared key), for example.
2012 - LG Optimus P990 2X: Modded the shit out of it and with the time there were lots of software errors
2014 - LG Optimus 4X HD: Screen cracked while BMXing and it was unusable from there on
2016 - OnePlus X: battery died and screen is broken. Will throw it out soon.
2018 - Shiftphone 6m: The software is shit. Would sometimes just restart or switch off without warning. At least at the end of me having it. I think the idea was cool, but it wasn't executed that good.
2021 - Samsung Galaxy A72: still works like on the first day and will get future Android updates. I had to send it in 2 times, but since it's a company phone I always get a replacement for the time. Even new phones have got similar specs.
PCs/Notebooks: 2010 - Medion Akoya P4370D PC: A budget PC. I got it for technical college and it worked great. A noteworthy feature is the HDDrive2go dock on top of the PC.
2013 - ASUS N56VZ Notebook (i7 3610QM, GT 650M): Also got it for technical college and used it there a lot. Besides it was pretty good for gaming. It's still used today by my mom, who uses it to browse the web and read emails, which clearly doesn't push this laptop to its limits.
2018 - shinobee Gaming PC (FX8300, GTX 1060 6GB) from Amazon: Was great for gaming. Probably the first PC where i was able to play a lot of games on high or ultra settings. But now, after 5 years, there are some system errors which make using it unpleasant for me. I also overclocked the CPU, which works pretty good with the FX8300.
2023 - Geekom AS6 Mini PC: Great specs and overall positive reviews. I can definitely do all the stuff I want on it. Currently playing older games like Darks Souls 3 in WQHD and medium settings. But that will probably be all I need as I'm not that much of a gamer anymore. The system, overall, runs a lot smoother than on my previous PC. Also the size is only 12x13x5,8cm.
I have so many friends who would 100% be labeled as an incel if they were men. They hold men to impossibly high standards while meeting none of those standards themselves....
Well, I don't read that the woman you know hate men and constantly complain about them not living up to their standards. So I guess there are some steps missing to an Incel. Right now it just seems they have, although very specific, standards on who they wan't to date. If that's not realistic it's their problem and they have to deal with it.
By the way, I'm pretty out of the loop on this Incel thing. I try to keep out of the social media circles who constantly blame the other gender for the things they should do better or have done. Generalizations help nobody
I think the biggest problem would be libraries which are not available in 3.x. I just rewrote a python script some time ago and the syntax changes were pretty easy to change with search and replace.
Basically title. Been DJ’n for a hot minute and wondering how people are adding to their collections. Mostly mix House, DnB, Dub, Hip-hop, Lofi, and plenty of genre-blurring niche experimental biz....
For browsing I use mostly Youtube and sometimes Soundcloud. Often you can find labels or direct links to downloads/Vinyls.
For actually buying the music I use Bandcamp or Discogs, but I guess it depends on what you play.
The clothes you are wearing vanish in an instant. How does this affect you?

What makes a smartphone useful to you?
Always had a cheap desktop computer and never thought a phone was worth it. Is there a reason people like me should reconsider?
What's the deal with the suspicious usernames on youtube?
I’ve been seeing a lot of usernames formatted “[lowercase][fourdigits]” or “user-[randomletternumbers]”....
There are more women with incel beliefs than men and nobody cares/labels them
I have so many friends who would 100% be labeled as an incel if they were men. They hold men to impossibly high standards while meeting none of those standards themselves....
Python developers won’t let go of Python 2 (www.infoworld.com)
Time to ditch Amazon Prime? (www.bbc.co.uk)
This will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me.
DJ's of Lemmy, where/how are you getting music for your arsenal?

PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote
Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...
