Technological "advancements" that you hate

RFID for anything sensitive.

oh shit nigga wtf are you doing

OH SHIT NIGGA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

I'm sure I've seen both of these ideas proposed by wannabe Sci-Fi tech companies.

>companies using 256 or 512bit encyption just so they can brag about it and use it as a selling point for little Timmy to watch porn over VPN without anyone knowing when 128 or even 64bit encyption works just fine and is 99.99999% secure anyway

This is essentially what contactless payments are. And Eurofags love them for some incomprehensible reason.

What's a computer?

The trend of mobile low end hardware laptops, replacing desktop PCs

Non-removable batteries on smartphones. The "design integrity" argument is a farce.

This, so much. Netflix has destroyed media acquisition

Javascript was a mistake.

Ehh, I don't think their purpose is for replacing desktop PCs. People will still get desktop PCs if the works (or gaymen) they do need a powerful CPU/GPU/etc. The laptop is fine if they mostly do some basic/medium tasks.

I got a laptop for the sole reason that the time I have for working on my projects at my desktop at home is just not enough(long-ass commutes n' shieet). And the desktops at school/work are shit, and who the fck knows what they're infected with.

>pages larger than a megabyte.

I hate to sound like a luddite, but man wasn't the internet great back when you could just open up notepad and write a website in an afternoon?

Granted, it was still bad, but it was a fun bad, not like 'oh hey I guess this is just how humans interact now' kind of bad.

You still can.

What kind of eurofag countries have widely used contactless payments? imo it's more of a burger thing

You can't use the data on it itself to pay for anything though.

it's sort of acceptable as a tradeoff for the device being waterproof/resistant
but if some piece of shit phone doesn't have waterproofing and also doesn't have replaceable battery or sd card slot, the designer is a retard

You still can, nothing stopping you.
Basic websites with little bloat are the best
My one MB limit doesnt count against user uploaded content, I more mean the page that contains it

OLED Displays

Wasn't even good in theory and its absolutely horrible in practice.If you buy a device with one don't expect to last it for any more than 2 years tops.Expect issues regarding burn in ,degradation in color , luminescence etc.

If the battery is not removable, the designer is a retard no matter how you look at it. There are phones which are waterproof and have a removable battery

I'm going for social Media and every "advancment" that made tech accessible for Idiots so they can spread their shit online to boost their self esteem.

What's there to say that machine learning/ deep fakes won't be used to plant evidence on political opposition?

>just charges you later with the same security that all Google services use
>know full well that thanks to taxes contactless is accepted pretty much everywhere

i don't think laptops are replacing desktops like that, it's more that you don't *need* a desktop for what most people use a computer for, netflix, browsing, document/code writing, streaming music, etc

this happened to my PS Vita, it's a real shame though since holy shit is emulation awesome on that screen

Vitas are cute. I miss my white 1000

I can't wait to the point where all phone options are a thin glass plate too large to hold with 3 hands that doesn't do anything I want a phone to do.

Oh i'm sorry pajeet is contactless not accepted yet on your local designated shitting street?

Big screens on phones that are supposed to be portable

I think an iphone that jizzes on the user's face before unlocking would be very popular among the apple crowd. They would eat that jizz up.

I have been using a j5 (2016) for almost 2 years now, no signs of any burn-in.

Targeted online advertising that's made possible by the massive amount of data collected off my Internet usage

I live in Denmark and we have used contactless payment for about 3-4 years now, I don't remember precisely when it started.
The few places where you cannot use contactless have stickers on the machines saying "no contactless".
Everyone over 18 uses debit cards, a few people also have credit cards, but it is really rare to only have access to credit cards.

We also have phone apps for payments between two people which can be used in stores as well.

Pls don't even joke about that. Then Samshit and every other phone manufacturer under the sun is gonna copy the idea.

as a fellow dane i have no idea what youre talking about din reserve svensker

>bunch of soyboys and thots outside getting jizzed in the face
i can't wait to be honest

Everyone have a dankort.
Dankort have tap to pay and that have been available in 99% of all stores the past 4 years (

Please man, I come here to get away from my hellish job

well, first you need to move out of your mom's basement.

God damn, Microsoft got you too?

what's wrong with portable computers

you seem upset that your "everyone has one" statement turned out to be false

Laptops having anemic batteries. For fucks sake, my phone has 4400mah, why does may laptop that's 10x larger only have 5300mah???

>what is voltage

>being literally too autistic to understand figurative absolutes

>making broad statements as if they are facts then getting angry when proven wrong

/thread

I for one think it's fucking amazing that your average laptop battery can contain a quarter million fucking jews

im from Czech republic and literally everyone has the contactless card, no bank gives other than contactless cards to customers by default.

send big titty GFs pls

they aren't that pretty

the only thing left in the czech republic are asian massage parlors.

Voltage has nothing to do with capacity, retard.

>walk through a doorway to enter a store
>it's actually a contactless/RFID scanner
>store knows who you are and tracks you from the moment you walk in, even if you don't buy anything or pay in cash
they already do this with phones, btw.

you just got badluck'd
here in Brno its 50/50

4400 mAh @ 5V == 4400 mAh @ 14 V

yeah buddy, upon further research I must say that I am sorry, and that you were right all along, and that the above are in fact equivalent.

jokes on them my smartphone doesnt have NFC nor bluetooth enabled

or wi-fi when not at home (no it doesnt scan.)

I assume you also turn off your cell service, at which point one might ask, why do you have one at all?

I use it for the alarm and calender mostly

and for some reason Nine is an amazing email client.

Transistors

TWISTED TRANSISTOR!

there is nothing a bunch of transistors can do that dominos and a bunch of slaves can't.

>borderless flat design

Everything just looks like different density liquids "standing" or random shit floating in the screen

resolution does not affect battery life, a 4k screen does not take double the amount of power as a 1080p screen (assuming they're the same physical size and same backlight tech)

not him but think of it this way:
if you don't have it, then you're nobody and shouldn't even be considered a person, therefore his statement is correct. Go back to whatever shithole village you grew out of.

>have to remove the headphones
How do you remove that which is not even there.

saw a few ones in prague but they didn't seem to provide happy endings

>being this retarded
The shapes and colors on your screen aren't put there by god, user.

The higher the resolution, the more CPU intensive it is to render something.

>4K screen on a phone with 2700mAh battery.
That's a fairly niche "technological advancement" to get triggered about. I don't know of any manufacturer besides Sony who does that. Btw, is there even any science behind the high res=drains battery meme? I don't think rendering a 2D UI at 4K is that taxing on current year hardware.

Do you mean the removal of alarm clocks that work even if the phone is off?

K screen on a phone with 2700mAh battery.
Still works the whole day. I'd take a 4K screen and charge it every night over a shitty screen on a phone that lasts a few days.

Smartphones, yes.
GSM enabled PDAs, no.

Sadly there's no dedicated second one, so we have to use the smartphones. Either older ones that support Linux or Android shit with Lineage and de-googled.

>wanting shit-tier LCD like it's the early 2000s

Incorrect, i use a mastercard and not a dankort.

its not the same.

get fucked lmao

wireless everything, just unreliable and incompatible
