Guys let's try to be kind in this sub. Not everyone is techy.

Upvotes

I noticed one thing lately. Ang dami kong nakikitang rude redditors dito.

Bakit kayo rude? Dahil nabobobohan kayo sa mga nagtatanong? Matapang behind the keyboard lang ba? Ung iba dito parang nanghaharass pa dun sa mga nagtatanong. Ung iba valid naman and may point naman ung mga tanong and posts, grabe kung ibash. Kinagaling ninyo yan?

Not everyone is kasing galing ng iba or maalam talaga sa tech. Madami joined this sub for them to know what they didn't know.

It is easier to be kind rather than rude.

Report to me pag may mga ganitong redditors in this sub. Let's try to avoid making this a toxic space. Let's help each other as much as we can.

BeyondTheBox: Student/Educ Pricing

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hello!

So context 2 Beyond The Box napuntahan ko kasi may poster sila about the Educ Pricing ng Macbooks nila.

Based sa posters nila eh sabi "Ask in store about student pricing."

So i went in and asked them.
And sagot sakin ng crew sa Market2 branch eh wala daw silang ganong promo?
So sabi ko eh ano yung poster niyo na nakapaskil?

Tas nagiinsist siya na wala daw silang ganong promo or discount.

Lumabas akong confused and naasar kasi ayaw lang ba nila ako pagbentahan based sa itsura ko? (Separate issue yung nagproprofiling ata sila based sa suot mo - mapa powermac or btb stores)

Soo lumipat ako sa BTB Uptown Mall branch, so ayon may poster din sila about student discount with a tag line "Ask in store about student pricing."

So pumasok ang naginquire ako.
Ang sagot sakin ng crew eh wala daw silang promong ganon?
At Power Mac at The Loop lang daw ang meron.

So sabi ko? Eh ano ba yan poster niyo? Nakapaskil pa sa labas niyo?

So naginsist nanaman na wala daw silang ganon?
So sabi ko bakit kayo nagpoposter kung di naman pala totoo?

Nagsorry lang siya.

---

Napapakamot nalang ako ng ulo kanina.

Can someone explain mali ba ako ng pagkakabasa sa poster nila?

Thanks!

When did you realize that you didn't need an expensive phone?

Upvotes

I realized when I was browsing for a phone for my gf. May basag na phone nya, 3 yrs na, and may slowness na. She just does daily tasks like doomscrolling, fb, youtube, etc. Eventually I just got her the Samsung A57. It's Samsung's best mid range at the moment. Ako naman I started from s7, s10, s21, s24 (current) pero yun pala diff lang is nilalagyan lang nila ng AI slop that until now I never used. Probably soon will get a Xiaomi or A series in 2 yrs if this phone screws up. Or are there better options ba?

I posted here not too long ago asking for suggestions on where to buy a “cheap” but for long term use android phone. was initially plannijg to get used sa marketplace or compasia. kaso sketchy yung mga nagbebenta ng walang box and receipts and hindi sinasagot san nabili yung phone.
26k is still a lot of money for a phone imo pero I am banking on samsung os updates.

After asking and lurking, here it is. Ang aking 1st Laptop/1st Thinkpad. Very satisfied! Initially looking lang for a T14 Gen 3, but biglang lumitaw itong Gen 4 for 18k. Not bad na siguro. Nangangapa pa. Still learning lalo na aiming for wfh/va set up. Small wins from a minimum wage earner! 🥳

I recently bought a case in Lazada and I am very happy sa quality niya so i thought I'd share. Case is Shockproof, has pc matte back, magsafe, with camera plateau protection, grippy sides, with dedicated lanyard holes and of course the camera control button! Super sulit! Brand is Balueus. Affordable dahil Less than 1000 pesos lang siya.

Bought a secondhand laptop

Post image
Upvotes

Was initially contemplating if bibili ba ako ng bagong laptop since malapit nang magretire yung 11 years old ko na laptop (macbook air) and I wanna go back sa windows ecosystem. Upon checking the prices of brand new laptops, medyo na discourage ako sa prices kasi 50k na yung mga midrange laptops.

I checked for secondhand laptops in fb marketplace and I saw this one. Thinkpad e14 with Intel i7 processor and 512gb memory for 20.5k. As a kuripot gurlie, I chose this na lang compared to other midrange laptops.

Sana wala akong makitang problems later on 🤣

3yr old Laptop screen showing black horizontal lines

Hi everyone, my laptop screen recently started showing black horizontal lines across the lower half of the display.

The lines are visible in the attached photo. They seem to stay in the same area, and I’m worried that the screen or display cable may be failing.

Could this be a damaged LCD panel, a loose display cable, or a graphics-card issue? Any advice on how to diagnose it would be appreciated.

Leak shows two Apple game controllers in the works, with wired and wireless models found in the macOS code. If these devices move past testing, it could mean Apple is getting serious about its gaming setup.

airpods 4 problem :(

Upvotes

my airpods 4’s left earbud suddenly stopped working. I thought it was a simple issue, so I selected “Forget Device” in my Bluetooth settings, thinking it would solve it. Now, I can't connect my AirPods to my iPhone or iPad despite resetting and troubleshooting (double-tap and triple-tap). could this possibly be a hardware issue? how much would it cost me if i bring this to a service center or get it repaired? im so disappointed because my airpods are only more than a year old i got this as a present for myself 😞 would appreciate all help and suggestions thank you

Durable ba ang mac book?

Upvotes

plan ko bumili ng mac book gagamitin sa trabaho ko. pero nag iisip ako kung durable ba at magtatagal considering hindi nahulog at iniingatan mo naman?

meron kasi mga gadget na kahit iniingatan mo nasisira padin.

ilang years mo na ginagamit ang mac book mo ngayon? at how often do you use it?

thanks in advanced sa mga replies nyo

edit: convinced naako, bibili na ako ng mac book.

Printer recommendations for a BSA student

Upvotes

Hello! Any recommendations po for a printer na okay for a BSA student and mainly gagamitin lang sa bahay? Mostly for printing school documents, reviewers, handouts, etc., but sana may photocopy/scan function din and wireless/Wi-Fi para I can print directly from my phone or laptop.

Budget is around ₱6k, pero willing naman po mag-stretch ng budget if mas sulit siya in the long run, especially sa ink and maintenance.

Preferably po yung matipid sa ink, madaling i-maintain, and reliable kahit regular student use lang.

Currently looking at Epson, Canon, or Brother, pero open to other suggestions!

Would really appreciate recommendations based on your actual experience with the printer. Thank you po! 🥹

should i get my tablet fixed or just buy a new one?

Upvotes

a year ago my samsung galaxy tablet s8+ (wifi) broke, i only had it for about a year when it did. it went from having a single green line to multiple colored lines (blue, green, and purple) then eventually the screen just blacked out after an update. i've been surviving on a much cheaper honor tablet but just after a year of usage my tablet is starting to slow down (it's only 128gb, not expandable).

now, i have some money saved up and the estimated cost based on my online search to get my samsung tab fixed is around 20-25k. i think it's a fair price for the screen since the tablet is quite big plus it was approx 60k when we bought it brand new. but im hesitating between getting it fixed or just buying an ipad instead.

is it worth it to fix it for that amount or should i just use the money and buy a brand new ipad?
