Seems like my headset is finally giving up after 8 years of use. The left side is completely unresponsive and I can't handle having audio played in only one ear.I'm looking for a decent midrange headset, emphasis on the set because even though I have an xlr microphone setup, having a backup mic ready to go is essential to me.I'm completely out of the loop on what's popping nowadays, a lot of brands I don't recognize. Budget is in the $50-$100 range, my market is Europe's.I don't care much for microphone quality, what matters to me most is audio quality. Obviously it doesn't have to be the best quality considering the price range, but I'm not looking for a bassboosted negro approved set, I like my mid range and trebles. Wired or not, USB or jack, doesn't matter.I'll also take channel/blogger recommendations so long they don't glaze whomever pays them most and provide good breakdowns with comparisons on the products they review.
just repair the worn wire in the left side, you don't need to consoom more chinese garbage.

Is Gem broken for anyone else?
>>106469677You can write Gemini over here, janitor fag
>>106469702I forgot how to spell it besides is it broke because the JB for making it to give Cunny will start give half finished replies
>>106469677It started working again since yesterday, only occasionally get 503 or cutoff messages, but resources are exhausted after ~15 responses per key. The good days are over, incompetents at Jewgle noticed they were being fucked.
>>106469820Same but for some cards it break or finish halfway even with the Cunny JJB

>>106469494>treat area as full resolutionDoesnt work that way, example you got a 1024x1024 image and you mask a 200x200 areawithout inpaint only masked it processes the entire 1024x1024with inpaint only masked it only processes around 264x264 (thats your 200x200 plus 32 pixels padding all around)basically it crops to just the masked area instead of running the whole image, but full resolution?

I'm looking for a laptop that has a 1366x768 panel but a relatively recent cpu, at least 10 000+ cpu mark. Is it possible to find something like this?Basically, high dpi screens really fuck with my eyes, making them constantly refocus. I've been using a 1366x768 laptop for 8 years then switched to a newer laptop with a 1920x1080 screen and started having severe eye strain, with my myopia worsening in the span of 2 months. I can only comfortably use a low-res screen, it seems. How would you get out of this predicament bros
>>106469757I don't think DPI is the issue here. PWM is.Modern panel controls brightness by rapidly turning the screen on and off. Try set the brightness to max and see if it helps.
>>106469776I did consider this, and found that the new 1920x1080 laptop I used actually didn't have PWM. Currently, I have a Mac Air 15 M4 side by side with a thinkpad e15 (with 1920x1080) from work, and the difference is night and day. It's like when looking at thinkpad screen, I perceive the information being displayed "immediately", while on mac, my eyes constantly refocus on each part of the screen to be able to read. And scaling doesn't help. With this thinkpad e15 it's also not perfect, with prolonged usage I still get fatigue.
Which model supports 4k 60hz output?
Best ffmpeg GUI/wrapper or whatever it's called? I'm allergic to command lines, terminals, powershells, scripts and all that other nerd shit.

How is pocketbook?comparable quality to kobo?
>>106467864I also want to know. I like pocketbook but it's expensive and it seems like everyone says it's real slow. Also in USA there's no apps to get shit out of library'sPeople claim it's the only one not spying on you though. I been hoping they will release updated versions with better specs
Eh they're okI'd recommend getting a Boox device instead.Since they run Android, its easier to get things like Koreader running

>>106469796The point of GNU/Linux is to have a free and open source operating system. The Linux kernel also happens to be better than the Windows kernel; it stands to reason that the userland should also be superior.
>>106469796Not even Windows "just works" anymore btw
>>106469864The trouble with the userland is it's forever frozen in the UNIX era. Android shows that you can do things differently if you want but desktops and servers are stuck with what we've got.
>>106469874The trouble with the userland is morons claiming Linux shouldn't just work. Linux is ready for YOTLD but the Linux community isn't.
>>106469881It should "just werk" the question is more about how it should work rather than "it shouldn't work".I really wish we had things like Android's Binder for IPC instead of things like DBus, etc. Almost anything you'd want to do can be done though, it's just a question of difficulty as posts like: >>106469529>>106469567demonstrate.

Theoretically, can you completely de-India your computer by only using software without any Indian commits? Linus removed all Russian code from the Linux kernel, so something like this is certainly doable.What's a good base to start with for building a non-Indian OS under a free licence? Arch?
>>106469661What is praise about the word "or"?
>>106468491Most FOSS projects involve pretty much only white men, white men (in skirts), and various kinds of Chinese
>>106469101>>106469553It's not "all Russian code" or "all Russian maintainers" removed. It's in fact much more narrow -- just the maintainers with emails that have domains of sanctioned companies. That's it. That's the extent of the "Russia" ban -- and it's mostly because of legal issues due to the Linux Foundation having to abide by US sanctions.
>>106468649Good morning
>>106469694It's about elimating what Indianness (not to be confused with endianness, though some have strong opinions about that as well) remains, and structurally preventing future Indianness.
Is Firefox any good in android? It's my main browser in PC but is the mobile version better than chrome or Brave?
>>106468721You can turn it off on android, but you can't change it to show your bookmarks on new tab, which it used to years ago
Firefox is troon-coded
>>106462080only merit of mobile version of is add-ons, which is a big enough reason.Otherwise, it is inferior to chrome in every conceivable way.Slower, worse video player (if site didnt feel like doing custom stuff), uses more battery.Like in anubis PoW checks, chrome finishes instantly when firefox can take up to 7 seconds (same phone)
>>106469858>uses more batterySource?
>>106462080Yes, and you can add uBlock to it, too.

the foundation of CS was built by a lost-generation in the 1960s which we've radically regressed from.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6orsmFndx_oIf you want to believe in something esoteric but actually real, start looking into the systematic sabotage of humanity.
I did a small research (pics included) and I've noticed there's something strange happening with recent WD hard drives. For instance let's take a look at this 4TB WD Purple (WD43PURZ), the datasheet says it's CMR but if you look at the graph it behaves like SMR and TRIM is supported.https://files.catbox.moe/xdudsc.jpgSame applies to 4TB WD Blue/Red Plus models, all these have 256MB cache and 181 buffer zones (like WD Red EFAX) instead of typical 61 like normal CMR WD drive. https://files.catbox.moe/htn2k3.jpgLook at these 4TB drives - they all look like this SMR WD Red EFAX drive.https://files.catbox.moe/cz46vl.jpgAnd 6TB WD drives are also identical to this EFAX drive.https://files.catbox.moe/nd55ho.jpgSo WD is lying again like they did when they released their first SMR Red. Avoid all 4-6TB models, unless it's enterprise class (Gold, Black, Ultrastar).Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>R*ssian schizoid threadOP, it's time to join the rest of your friends. Let's see that tripcode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWkz0wvop9woh god what now
>>106464886No. I'm not a data recovery specialist and any DIY may make things even worse, disassembly requires a sterile room with zero dust particles, moisture or any foreign object which is impossible to achieve at home.>>106466159No, quite many 2TB drives and less are SMR. Especially 2,5 inch (all of them are SMR). 1-4TB CMRs should have no more than 64MB cache (apart from some enterprise models). CMR doesn't even need cache, it will work just as fine with 8MB buffer. Also they shouldn't have a TRIM command.>>106466365Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Any attempts to work with a SMR drive fragments the files even more, regardless if you just read the files or write new ones. Already posted the video from one ukrainian data recovery specialist who shows how does this a WD10SPZX SMR behave during the read tests.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67arwgtTyxAThis is why SMRs fail in RAID, the files become so fragmented that it's becoming impossible to "assemble" them while accessing, the drive will either drop its speed to >1MB/s or even completely freeze (sometimes corrupting the affected tracks) which will never happen to a CMR drive.Comment too long.

4chan is allowed to exist precisely because it serves the role of controlled opposition. On the surface it looks chaotic, subversive, even dangerous to the established order. In truth, it is a carefully managed honeypot designed to capture the restless, the angry, and the disillusioned, and to channel their energy into nothingness. Those who might have built lives of success, families, movements, or enterprises instead become trapped in a cycle of cynicism and wasted time. Potential leaders, creators, and builders are neutralized before they can even begin, caught in a net that convinces them resistance is impossible and that resignation is the only honest path.This year’s so‑called hack was part of that same illusion. By staging a breach and making it look as though the site were vulnerable and unofficial, the real owners were working to preserve the myth that 4chan is outside the reach of power. In reality, it functions exactly as intended, as an intelligence operation cloaked in the aesthetics of anarchy. The illusion of instability is a mask that hides the greatest stability of all: total government control over the digital space where angry young men vent their rage. What appears to be uncontrolled chaos is in fact curated permission, a trap that works better precisely because it pretends not to exist.The effect is that those who might challenge authority from the outside are disarmed before they ever act. Their will is drained, their days are consumed, and their spirit becomes fractured in a maze designed by professionals who understand human psychology down to the bone. What could have become rivals to the system are instead kept docile by endless threads, fake debates, and algorithmic despair. And while they waste their lives in cycles of contempt and distraction, the machinery above them operates without resistance, satisfied that its greatest threats have been transformed into its most harmless captives.
>>106456707This is why onionjak dot party is better
>>106469590>The only major difference between Reddit and 4chan is the userbaseNo, the major difference between 4chan and Reddit is the algorithm for displaying posts (most recent vs. most upvoted)
>>106469756Most forums are like that, but very few of them have the same sort of content.The websites that encourage antisocial content the most are the ones that try to maximize screentime. 4chan's slant comes from its userbase.
>>106469802>4chan's slant comes from its userbase.If you made an anonymous imageboard in India it would probably be different from 4chan, I'll grant that. And you could argue that Reddit has looked more like 4chan when certain subreddits weren't being banned. I still think it's different, but it's not a bad point.But you can't really deny that 4chan and Reddit have enormously different incentives for posters, or that this produces a different kind of environment on each which over time will select for posters who like that kind of content. Disagreeable people get filtered out of Reddit because getting downvoted until you're invisible every time you take an outsider perspective sucks. 4chan, by contrast, drives away people who can't handle nastiness/degeneracy/etc., because there are so few mechanisms for removing it from their view.This naturally produces different userbases over time. 4chan skews disagreeable, schizo, degenerate and retarded, while Reddit skews centrist, NPC, civil and midwit. It's obvious why these types thrive in these formats.
>>106469843One last point: it could be said also that the formats were selected to suit the userbase, that the userbase was therefore prior to the algorithms and selected whatever sort of algorithm would perpetuate itself over time. I'm not sure that's true, but if it is true it's really not that far off from what I'm saying.
