Why does it feel so much better to browse 4chan and youtube on a computer compared to using your phone?
>inb4 le bigger screen
>>
bigger screen you dumb frogposter

Because you're not using Chance

I'm using Clover (the blue one) and I still prefer using a computer

touch screens are gay

>>108643491
You're in your comfy chair, using a real keyboard and mouse.

Your goycattle genes feel comfy being reminded that you deal in the real world (use computers to make other people money).
>>
>>108643911
He's right. The only thing that's better is writing long posts and the easier captcha but the rest of the experience is better on phones.
>>
>>108643942
thats exactly what a poor person who can't afford a computer would say.
>>
>>108643942
>rest of the experience is better on phones.
dude, everything, literally everything is a shittier experience on phone, the screen is smaller and there is less precision
>>
>>108643491
You can do more and at a faster speed on a computer. It's more efficient and convenient.
>>
>>108643491
I find the opposite, everything is optimized for mobile and runs like a pos on pc or is literally set up for a phone and you end up either only using 1/5th of your monitor or you have to turn it sideways
>>

touching the screen ruins it also tactile keyboard feels better

This. Tapping at a glass panel makes me feel like a chimp. A mouse and keyboard you like is unreal level comfy.
When I first got into personal computing, I thought peripheral fags were obnoxious and ridiculous. Now I realize they’re absolutely correct because that’s the portion of the experience you actually hold in your hands every single time. It makes a huge difference.

fingercucked vs mouse

>>108643491
But Bigger screen is the actual answer. Posting from a tablet feels way better than both.
>>
>>108643491
i prefer browsing from my phone
>>
>>108643491
Because the usage of my phone is tied to my wagie hours.
I rarely ever use a phone when I'm not dealing my shitty colleagues

hardware acceleration is better on pc than phone
>>
>>108644659
Apologies in advance for being a brainlet but could somebody please explain to me what hardware acceleration is?
What does it do; how does it work?
>>
>>108644689
It means using the graphics card for rendering instead of the CPU
>>
>>108644689
Hardware acceleration is the use of specialized computer hardware to perform tasks more efficiently than software running on a CPUs cores or GPUs unified shaders.

For example your GPU has a media encoder/decoder, it also has a display engine. These allow you watch videos and drive multi displays and do other features like scale, rotate, and overlay while the 3D cores are free for other work and your CPU doesn't need to context switch.

Not sure why I thought it was mostly a meme. That actually sounds extremely efficient and helpful. Thanks

The 4channel app is insanely ergonomic and more addictive than cigarettes.

It always makes me miss Kuroba now. I was browsing with that during the sign tapping fiasco on /pol/ at the end of December 2024 into early 2025. Lots of threads were getting pushed to 400+ posts in as little as 2 hours. Some of those threads got archived. Some of them went that far and were deleted without archive
It was really interesting to see what got deleted without archive in real time. Anything else have features like that?

I would honestly check into a hospital if I found myself sitting at a pc scrolling on 4chan. Saddest shit ever. Killing time shit posting during a smoke break, or waiting for an appointment is whatever.

Use kurobaex.
>>
>>108643491
Better & more ergonomic peripherals, easier to use. Typing on a small part of a small screen on a touch keyboard is an utterly miserable experience, rather than doing that I'd just prefer to abstain.

How do you know it is safe? I don't trust side-loading random apks
>>
>>108643491
It's literally the bigger screen and keyboard though. If you use a tablet, that's essentially a smartphone as they have the same limited OS, and you attach a keyboard, it'll feel great.
>>

>>108643491
first of all it's an image board so more screen means more images, secondly I think a lot of the content here makes you want to open things in new tabs, it's not as self contained as other platforms
>>
>>108643491
inb4 I get banned for saying this, but 4chan is so much better on the PC but I think the stats say 80% of users are mobile in part because thirdies and zoomzooms don't have computers, but also due to poor and inconsistent moderation on a lot of the boards, especially the slower boards. there are a lot of situations on the slower boards where idk if you end up arguing with the janny specifically or something but like someone will call you a racial slur and you will call them fatso or something and you will get banned but the other guy won't
>>
>>108643491
it tricks your retarded monkey brain into thinking its more productive than it really is. Your fatass splayed on the bed or couch scrolling the screen like an overgrown baby is too real to deny.
>>
>>108643942
phones get easier captcha. idk why but 4chan serves easier captcha to mobile IPs
>>
>>108643491
Because your first experience with the Internet was with a desktop computer so that's your point of reference for what "feels right." When you first got a smartphone in the late 2000's it was still primitive and felt dumbed down compared to the desktop computer, I remember thinking iPads were useless for not supporting Flash or having programs that work exactly the same as the PC version does.
>>
Asking here since it's not worth a new thread. Has anyone been having trouble with expanding threads lately on firefox? Suddenly the feature is completely broken for me, but works on other browsers. I have no 4chan related extensions.

Funny you would say that because my phone screen is cracked but instead of getting a new phone I'm building a new PC. Not super high end but way more expensive than any phone. Now go cry about it.
>>
>>108643491
I like browsing 4chan more on my phone but Youtube is better on the 'puter
