Is C still wortlh learning nowadays?I'm studying CS but my uni's program only teaches you Python, Java and C++ so i figured I'd try to start learning C on my own over the winter break.I already have a decent grasp on Python and Java and have always heard all the real enlightened big brain neProidians learn C to understand how a computer works beter since it's "close to the metal" unlike Python and Java but even starting out with Learn C the Hard Way, Zed Shaw says that C is a fundamentally flawed language and has many errors that later languages fixed into non-issues.Should I keep going
>>107702118>Is C still wortlh learning nowadays?no.Not since around 2010 or 2000.Learn C++.
>>107702144>The mistakes C made are well known:>rejecting tools to make you efficient developer, for no reason what so everfixed>Yes, you should learn C++ because it’s very close to how a computer works.fixed>C is a chad language. Konly as ++
>>107702118The only languages you need to learn are Python and Rust. Everything else is dogshit.
>>107702118I love c, but if you're learning c++, you're equally close to the metal if you want to be.
>>107703978>>Yes, you should learn C++ because it’s very close to how a computer works.Lol

one of my PCs is being stubborn with Office activation. windows is picking up on the sppc64.dll and Office breaks any time i try activating with MAS. any solutions?

I made a fresh install and I must say that the unattended tool at https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is state of the art comfy.It deals with 99% of the annoyances of a fresh install and it's reproducible.It's either this or installing aids and use the chris titus tool to remove it.Both those tools are buried in the section:>Should I debloat / build my own ISO?If you need to ask, then no.If you know what you're doing:https://pastebin.com/S5VKBirtImo this general should push the users to use these tools because it's either this or getting fucked by 100 small annoyances you need to fix by hand following some pajeet tutorials first SEO link on google.The "if you know what you're doing" is no longer relevant because you can use these tools while chatting with an AI and get the quick run down of anything not clear.
>>107703975i just don't like how it like wraps everything in the xml file in single line. i just have an basically empty autounattened.xml file call an install.cmd script that applies the windows image and does all the registry edits that i need. it's easier to edit it that way imo.
>>107703975>you can use these tools while chatting with an AIYep you're exactly the kind of people that should definitely not be tampering with their windows install.
The old fan is making a slight rattling noise on startup but it goes away after 5 min. It's spinning at 3000rpm to cool down Athlon x250 which gets hot very quickly during cpu spikes (it shuts itself down at 70C). I'd like to replace it but I can't find any 70mm fans. Is there any CPU fan model (with a heatsink or not) that would fit this old motherboard (released in 2009), if yes then which size should I choose?
>>107701902Thanks, good to know about backwards compatibility. Unfortunately in my frozen shithole everything's very expensive due to VAT, import tax but I can deal with it.>>107701930A little bit too barbaric but thanks for the suggestion.>>107702557I tried by plugging the clone, it gives me bsod on different hw. There's a workaround by "repairing" windows during the install while keeping the clone with files, programs, signatures etc.>>107702725Cool, mine has only 2 cores, I'll try to find something similar to yours if there's anything left.

What is your spec OP? Can you buy a new PC?
>>107703393Ok.>>107703631I do have 2 other desktops (including hp z420) and 3 laptops (including dell m4800). I'm not low on money, yes I can, I just don't like the modern case design and lack of legacy ports. This is my very first pc which I still use as a dedicaded win xp machine. Here are the specs: athlon II x2 250 cpu, 4gb ddr3 ram, geforce gt640 2gb, two 7200rpm wd hdds. It's laughable by modern standards but for me it still had its use.
>>107696387AM2, 3 and 4 all use the same mounting brackets. Just buy a stock cooler for any AND CPU made in the last 15 years
>Xfce is lightweight
>>107701718As someone who uses XFCE and Cinnamon this makes sense. At startup while running Pulse Effects, CopyQ and Flameshot my machine uses 990mb/1gig. Now its at 1.81gb with two mpv windows, Htop on Xxterm and Terminator.Still much lower then Windows 11s idle 3.5-4gigs>>107701891I think it was the GTK3 port
>>107701718I'll buy another 256 MB stick just so I can comfortably use KDE.
>>107701718> implying it is implied it is lightweightXFCE is the perfect blend of modern DE features and minimalism. It is both featureful and relatively lightweight
>>107701718The latest Gnome DE is the best ever.

>>107703457Try to avoid comparing yourself to OTHERS, and the paradigms which OTHERS are set in, or comparing yourself to some paradigms that you've become convinced are IDEAL and you have difficulties or impossibilities "measuring up to". Perhaps learn to explore your inner world via MEDITATION and use it to DISCOVER things within yourself that are presently HIDDEN as you work your way through looking deeper and beyond the comparisons, patterns, ideals, etc.

>>107682676>>107702710Consider learning an autistic layout like Colemak or Graphite if learning from scratchIt's almost never worth it to re-learn if you're already good at qwerty, but if you're hunt-and-pecking at 70-80wpm and intend to learn touch typing from scratch anyway then might as well learn something more comfortable from the get-go rather than the garbage that is qwerty IMO.You can spend hours deciding on a layout but if you don't want to, Graphite or Gallium are generally the recommended ones if you're good with a fully custom autistic one, or Colemak as a good-enough option (still way way better than qwerty) that's available on pretty much every OS so you can always set it up on a new machine without configuring or installing anything.

>>107702869vovsoft looks good thanks. there's an ad popup when you open the program which I can live with but it's still a minor inconvenience so I went digging around myself and it's mindboggling how you need to buy every program for a cancer-free versionis it really too much to ask for something that shows the pictures (visually, not in path names), has a few options for combining and that's literally all? there's a trillion free software for full-on image/video/text editing but not a simple thing like this, it's weird

The government should implement a taxcapital_Usage_tax(capital_group, employee_group)any time some capital (like a computer or program) is used by an employee to create something that something should be taxed. This would immediately evaporate the useless jobs and show us how horrible the economy actually is.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/drone-first-responder-programs-2025-review>Drone as first responder (DFR) adoption really took off in 2025. Though the concept has been around since 2018, this year saw more normalization of the technology, its integration into more real-time crime center structures, and the implementation of automated deployment of drones.>A DFR program features a fleet of camera-equipped drones, which can range from just a couple to dozens or more. These are deployed from a launch pad in response to 911 calls and other calls for service, sometimes operated by a drone pilot or, increasingly, autonomously directed to the call location. The appeal is the promise of increased “situational awareness” for officers headed to a call. This video offers a short explanation of DFR, and for a list of all of the cities we know use drones, including DFR programs, check out EFF’s Atlas of Surveillance.

>>107703210>Have you ever considered bringing this up on /k/?I have browsed /k/ and the noise level is too high for me.>Problem is that the F35 is such a hotbutton topic its hard to tell who is shilling who.True. There is so much money in that project and so much financial engineering that the project simply cannot be killed. A lot of the things developed for F-35 could have been tested and even back ported to F-16, F-15 and F-18 which would have reduced risks and costs a lot by parallel and incremental development, but they never did that.

How do you access ext3 or ext4 partitions from windows 10?i used Ext2fsd which is a small program that can be ran as a service and automounts your filesystem in read only mode to the drive letter of your choice.i hadn't used windows in a while and after a reinstall it doesn't seem to work anymore.It can see my partition, tries to mount it but when i click on the drive in windows explorer it says "you need to format the drive before you use it" then when i choose "no" it says "the volume does not contain a recognized filesystem.windows can't into Ext partitions anymore? how is this even acceptable?
>>107702577There are at least two trivial solutions to this nonissue and you've been living under a boulder for the past 6 years if you're not aware of them

Sure, nowadays they can throw in some nice CSS if you ask for web shit, but still, far from a decent human coder.

>>107703701I love AI> Exactly! You’ve got it. > Honey is wet because it’s a liquid, even though it’s thick and sticky. It has that "wet" quality when it touches something else.> Water, on the other hand, is the thing that *makes* other things wet, but it’s not considered "wet" itself. It’s kind of like saying *fire* is hot—it’s the thing that makes other things hot, but it’s not *hot* in the way we usually think of it.> So, honey = wet, water = the thing that causes wetness. Does that sound about right?
