I want the truth about "refurbished" items
>>106501364you'll know by the warranty they offer on the item. if its less than 6 months then you cant trust 'em
>>106501364They're completely covered in cum. The amount of porn and masturbating happening is beyond comprehension so a refurbished device will be contaminated more than you can possibly imagine. So remember, you are smearing your hands in a man's seed.
i got a refurbished xiaomi for a cheap price on ebay and it was basically just new. in original packaging and with the peeling plastic thing on the screen. been using it for a year and the battery isn't degraded and there are no other issues.maybe i just got lucky?
>>106502793projecting
>>106501364Good stuff most of the time. Some subtle issues may fall through the cracks and become problems for you later. I don't know how comparable this is to the normal rate of unlucky defect.Ultimately, you'll probably be just fine buying refurbished like most folks, but buy from reputable companies and businesses, some are reported to be scummy with stuff they refurbish, like BH Photo Video.If the warranty offered is less than 6 months, forget it.>>106502793>>>/x/>>>/h/>>>/e/>>>/d/>>>/b/>>>/s/
What techniques for getting free computer parts and gizmos work in current year?
stealing
Any tips for finding spots to dumpster dive?
I was in akiba last week and I saw laptops with decent CPUs and SSDs but soldered 4 to 8 gb of ram for less than $30, not free but almost.
>>106502733>akibathat's where you go after you dumpster dive to sell the shit you have no use for. I'd imagine ebisu or other office districts have the goods on the right trash day
closest is you set up scripts to watch your local trade markets 24/7you will find "steals" every couple of months

>>106498258because viruses are just particles. they're not alive. maybe you could design something that clusters them up and makes them inert, but you don't need crispr for that.

I want to program my own indie game without any spaghetti code, what books should I read for this? I already understand some of the basics like: functions, classes, variables, and callbacks but I don't know how to structure and plan out my code, so I always feel lost. I basically never know what the best course of action is. I also code in c# but I assume that's probably not relevant since I'm not asking for language specific advice.
>>106502633The whole point of learning design patterns is knowing when to use which one better than intuition allows, so yeah, you might be

>>106498928What specific security issues are you worried about?If you're not sure, because you don't know enough, you're almost certainly worrying over nothing.Install only things from the repos. Do not expose services to the internet (you will know if you're doing this, it will not be an accident.)You can totally operate outside of those restrictions and still be secure, but for a new and anxious person those are guidelines that mean you won't have any issues.Also, if you somehow think Windows or MacOS are better, just remember that they have as many security flaws or more, they just never get seen because the source is closed. They're unlikely to affect an end user too.Do you have some kind of OCD by the way? Obsessing over your room being just right, obsessing over non-specific security problems.
>>106499256You got arrogant responses becaues you frame it exactly like a brand war bait thread.Not really your fault because you don't know enough about it to have known these are contentious points that are common bait, but that's the reason.
>>106499256>Laptop (found it when searching for intel ME disabled options)You got a little taken advantage of with that laptop. ME and AMD's version have been decompiled, and there's actually no telemetry or anything bad going on in there. Think about it: They'd have to phone home, and no one has ever found report sof that by packet sniffing.They just act on those fears to get more money out of you for less hardware.You thought your anxieties were protecting you from being taken advnatage of, but actually they were making you vulnerable to it.

It's weird how 4chan has 6 styles built-in, but four of them are just palette swaps and the remaining two are copies which just change the font.

Theoretically, can you completely de-India your computer by only using software without any Indian commits? Linus removed all Russian code from the Linux kernel, so something like this is certainly doable.What's a good base to start with for building a non-Indian OS under a free licence? Arch?

>>106484583There are many styles of buttplugs. A star isn't even a common type from looking at those degen sites. A butthole, however, looks like a radially sudivided circle pretty universally, so your logic simply doesn't follow, or is completely niche. It can only work in the "stars" as buttplugs circles of deviants.
>>106501974That's the equivalent of saying that circles remind you of burgers and triangles of ice creams. Radially subdivided circles are simply that much simpler and ubiquitous a shape than stars. If you see a butthole there, you might as well start calling philips screws "poopshoot screws", and the Xor operator as "anal operator". It's simply a very faggot thing to think.
