>>107851339pardon my ignorance, but whats the appeal of emacs? its a terminal/environment where you can do about everything? but why not separate different tasks between different softwares.>>107851395i like the interface, does it supports jxl out of the box? and the zoom capabilities are good? i was thinking in doing a thread about image viewers to gather more info and opinions on the matter.>>107851432same, feels good. why regret? now you got more time for hobbies. also, the music that plays in that ED is good.
>>107851615Aurora is a much better choice imo. It's basically Kinoite but with a bunch of QoL improvements like better driver and codec support, working hardware acceleration, etc..
>>107851615You should just try regular fedora kde first to see how it goes
>>107851615You can avoid worrying about an update breaking things by not using something that updates frequently in the first place. Debian Stable. unattended-upgrades. Security patches will be up to date, packages are frozen in time. He is doing jack shit on old hardware. He needs less not more.
>>107851753The idea is to have an OS that breaks less. Atomic images are better at not breaking.>>107851794>Debian>security patches

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.
>>107832560It says right there similar results proven by similar methods. The proof method existed. Anyone that made this connection by wading through a bunch of literature could have done this.
>>107842497it is not a condensed decision tree, it is a condensed database and the query language happen to be natural, that is all.
>>107832560This is expected. Maybe if ai were used for research instead of Jewish death squads in Gaza you normies would know about this already

i got a T430... what now? im kinda bored
>>107850725Wacom drawing pad
>>107851006It's probably the best bang for buck in the current year. The main things you might miss from the T460s are the build materials and classic DC jack. Typing feel isn't much different.>>107851171Flash the EC mod and coreboot (or break it trying)
>>107851362Neat.
>>107851030Yeah, You can play triple A titles on medium settings in FHD on AMD ones, atleast.
With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.
>>107849507OH 2020 was 6 years ago, I was using 4 years because I remember the m1 came out at the second half of the year or something.And a heavy workload like video editing will reduce the charge to 2 hours or something.So the usage is very normal (like 4 hours a day~), but... the cycle shouldn't be affected while being charged...
>>107814412If you move to it from linux then it's similar levels of suck, slightly worse in some ways, slightly better in others.If you move from windows it's a big downgrade.I've had 2 attempts in my life to use that shit and ended up selling my macs, the last one was 2 years ago.There's many issues to talk about, but some I remember as really annoying are:1. Full screen doesn't exist, when you fullscreen something it creates another virtual desktop and moves the app to it. This is beyond dumb, and slow as hell when you want to alt tab constantly between something that is fullscreened and something that isn't because you are moving virtual desktops.2. The file manager is worthless, it can't even align files on its own, if you right click inbetween 4 files to create a folder then it will literally create it there overlapping them, you can rearrange it later with an option, but it's so stupid. it has other problems as well that you can only understand after experiencing the shit yourself.3. It does bs color grading, when you play a video with mpv it will look off, downloading color profiles that supposedly match the macos one don't truly fix the issue either, the colors will be off, I was only able to fix this by buying one of those garbage macos only video players that are missing most functionality you need. This doesn't even happen with youtube videos so idk wtf is going on with that OS.4. Many small problems, interface designed for mobile users, it will be hard to find or disable so much dumb shit like mouse acceleration, it's a similar experience with linux and its garbage defaults.5. If you think you can just emulate windows games then give up on the idea, it's more miss than hit, don't bet on anything working decently.Overall if you don't do video or music editting I see no point to this OS.
>>107849481Also I'm wrong about the 300 cycle part.apple's batteries keeps 80% charge at 1000 cycles.So that matches up with your battery health perfectly.(assuming that the health % is accurate, and not a number that is calculated purely from the cycle count, 80% of 80% is 64% so technically your battery is slightly better than expected?).
>>107849544>And a heavy workload like video editing will reduce the charge to 2 hours or something.On an M series? Was the M1 that bad or is the vaunted macbook battery life just that terrible? My AMD stinkpad lasts 2-4 hours on heavy usage and it's x86
>>107815453check out filepilot, its like a faster win10 file browser with tabs, fast sorting and searching that actually works, too bad the dev is a yuropoor faggot who loves the win11 "huge padding and corner radius everywhere" aesthetic though. the only real downside other than that is that it doesnt save your layout preference per folder like windows does so if you set it to display by large thumbnails and then go somewhere and expect it to automatically switch to details, youre not gonna get that. its as good as it gets on windows otherwise

Vertical video is the norm now. All video is vertical now. People actively wish horizontal videos were vertical. They yearn for vertical video even when they're not circumstantially limited to it. A kid asked me to hold his phone and film him doing a trick at a skate park last week and when I held it in landscape mode he stopped me, took the phone, changed it to portrait and continued. Ten years ago vertical video was considered digital AIDS. It was to be avoided at all cost. Now it's the golden standard.
>>107848840>Vertical video is the norm now.new iphone takes landscape vertical video and selfies relaxrelax FUCKING RELAX BRO GET BACK
Burn YouTube shorts to the ground. Disable that trash immediately.
as an occasional smartphone user I dont see why they wouldnt just hold the phone horizontally when watching videos
>>107849222>10 years ago the iPhone had come out 9 years agoFuck you too buddy.
>>107848840Why can't they just film everything with a square sensor and then decide whether to cut it to landscape or portrait in post processing?
Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?
>>107850776Well, I would argue it's slightly more natural compared to having your retinas lasered with the same blue light when they are adapted to a brightness level of a dark cave, which makes them operate on heightened sensitivity.
>>107835872Syntax highlighting is juvenile.
>>107851649when used correctly it has only a positive effect
>>107835866you claiming it's objective doesn't make it so and I could undo you with the flick of a finger you stupid midget.
>>107835866Because light themes give me seizures

I'm still stuck in decision hell. I have just been told to get studio headphones instead of gaming ones >Location EU/ger>Budget50-100€ ~ 140€ is a stretch that would bankrupt me as a student>What exactly you're looking for (be as detailed as possible)Looking for durable headphones for home gaming/music/surfing the web. Probably something I would wear the entire day. Wired. Don't even know if I should take open or closed back because at home it's relatively quiet all day round. I liked closed-back headphones, but I’ve had issues wearing them all day because my ears feel too hot and sealed and I want something breathable and comfortable that I can wear long sessions without it messing up my ears.>Previous gear and your thoughts on itATH-M40x. Very nice, maybe the sound was too tight and closed. Last summer it was pain on my ears. One side of the speakers died so I was gonna buy these again if I don't have a sound advice on why I should pick something else (which I hope in).I dont need endgame gear, and I dont play on doing any EQ tuning. I do have an audio interface that helps pump up the audio quality but im just going to use the headset for gaming, spotify and discord so im not such an audiophile, just a hpg visitor.
>>107803217yes they usually have earmuffs and 35-50mm dynamic drivers with 25-300 ohm impedance
>>107788449what would be the options for dedicated microphone in the price range of around £20-25?
multiple people on ASR confirming TOPPING are acknowledging the DC protection in the DX5II is non-existent lmao, probably follow in the thread and make sure yours isn't cooked toohttps://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-dx5-ii.60996/page-129#post-2493668
>>107851156I like M40x a lot. AKG K702 might be priced low enough for you to warrant trying it, won't even need a currynigger dongle can just plug and play it into your PC or interface.

>>107849231That looks to me like "graphite pencil and gouache on watercolor paper", even if anon didn't prompt it like that.If you want to try another traditional medium combination go with "colored pencils and copic markers on textured paper".
I was lurking a moment on /vig/, I had no idea that there's even a virtual youtuber AI general.
Linux is starting to "just werk" more than windows. The OOB experience of windows is awful these days.
>>107847578KDE plasma looked familiar enough to me as a former windows user to be able to quickly find my way around. The switch wasn't painful at all. In fact the UI is vastly more comfortable to use than the constantly crashing slow ad riddled AI slop garbage that is the modern windows UI. Even despite the occasional krash.
>>107847633Normalfags don't want to or know how to rice their krash machine to look like that.Also normalfags don't even know that's a possibility, they think linux is just a terminal screen and are scared of white letters of a black background. You can't convince them otherwise.>>107847756Office software is the bottleneck.You're gonna need word and excel for most anything you work with and everyone uses MS word. MS is actively going out of their way to break compatibility as much as they can, sure most any fork of OpenOffice can open their files but it will break formatting, fonts, images, formulas... Anything MS can make break.So even if you're interested in fully switching, you're still fucked because normalfags have sold their soul to the MS jeet and will happily use their 365 copilot app till the heat death of the universe. Ask me how I know.>>107848987You can still get around it but now they'll break updates for you. Which may or may not be an added benefit.>>107849079>we live in a timeline where jeetdows crashes more than KrashDEEvery day we stray further from god.
>>107847486doesn't matter, no one will switch to troonixdon't kid yourself tranny
>>107847624GEG if you only knew how bad it isAt work I was literally put on duty of going through every optiplex and setting up windows for typical joe office worker. Due to security, local account was insisted on.90% of time was wasted on trying to trick OOB to fuck off with the cmd tricks. We didn't have ms-cxh:localonly at the time (either was not there or just uknown,I don't remember) so had to use the older command that is now removed from latest releases. I did try to bypass OOTB with the sysprep mode and registry tricks, but then seemingly this would prevent some software from being updated (keep in mind, for both techniques I had my internet cable pulled)Due to the boomers that ran the place, I was not allowed to use MS server WDS or anything like that, in fact they expected me to not even use scripts caues muh viruses and muh warranty, though scripts were allowed after I showed them to the higherup (he admitted he didnt understand it anyways) After I was at least able to get in local account, I had to run a debloat script and set up a bunch of stuff like pcname, update, etcI got through 70 units in 4 days, 8h a day, about 4 stations at the time, largely wasted on waiting for OS to debloat itself. Last time the higherups that did this apparently didn't use scripts, and therefore it would take them 2 weeks+ of manual work.Keep in mind that I am an autist who is willing to read into random user guides on how to foce windows to do what I want. If not people who maintain altas, id not know about a decent amount of best practices. Everything is obtuse and shittly documentedThe sysprep mode would allow me to cut down on time by solid 5 min per machie, but because of it refusing to install some things like the default suite of modern apps, I could not use it. I bet its possible, but do you think I got the time to research why and how this happens? LMAO
