carry on then posted:turning on the software home button on your iphone to reduce wear on the physical home button, which preserves resale value lmao at giving a gently caress about resale value on anything but especially electronics and cars. use that thing up like you want to and throw it away when it’s a useless pile of shards.

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:i was thinking that but i thought the CD-R audio tax thing only existed in Canada and i'm in the US nope, there was a private copying levy on blank tapes and cds in the us. it wasn’t called out as a separate charge but was baked into the purchase price.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:they were, once upon a time, the best compromise among brightness/darkness/sharpness/color, but i don't think there are any remaining manufacturers panasonic, samsung, and lg all exited the plasma market in 2014. supposedly there were a few chinese factories still putting them out and selling them in china for a couple of years after that but they're probably all done with them by now.

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:they called that the "coffee stain effect" and it only affected launch Vitas iirc it was all the oled vitas, similar to the launch psp they reached just a little too far with the display. all of them were affected to some degree, most of them you could only see the defect when the screen was on and solid black but some of them were bad enough that it was visible all the time.

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:i'm one of those people that goes nuts if theres a speck of dust or single dead pixel on my screen and i never noticed it, even in black areas. but even if i did i am pretty sure the benefits of oled outweighed that issue, to me at least i could only see it on mine when the screen was black, i was in a dark room, and my eyes had about a half-second to adjust so it was fine for me, but i cans understand how people with different eyes or a more affected screen could get upset.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:there is no way I’m clicking that link but it’s pretty terrible, here’s the last paragraph: quote:I don’t have any final answers either. But, gentle reader…if you’re a beta male and not a natural, learning some PUA game might sound icky but it would sure beat masturbating to porn for the rest of your life. And if you’re female, think hard about the last guy you slept with and the last guy you friend-zoned. Maybe you owe yourself a rethink and friend-zone guy an apology, of the kind best delivered naked.

Samuel L. ACKSYN posted:for a while (maybe still?) the only/best way of copying an SACD was a hacked ps3, so you had audiophile people buying old ps3s and hacking them just for sacd rips you can always sell to deranged audiophiles but most people don’t have the equipment or hearing to tell where the extra money goes beyond compact discs. if you do all of your audio consumption on a sidewalk over airpods and your iphone it’s moot anyway.

echinopsis posted:hey when someone had a tape drive backup, what was the benefit? density back then? tapes were the cheapest money per byte storage unless you did paper tape and baudot code or something silly like that and yes they’re slow as molasses. the late 80s tape drive i messed with had the same buttons your stereo did, to write you’d set the job up and the computer would prompt “start tape” then begin outputting in ten seconds, if you didn’t get there then you had to rewind the tape and start over. reading back you’d set the job up and the computer would prompt “start tape” and wait for the data to come in so timing wasn’t as critical. more sophisticated units would be controlled by the computer directly so you could start the job and it would roll tape automatically.
