Which distro has the least amount of troonery? I was misguided by peers into installing fedora
just install pop os
>>107853654what's wrong with fedora? it's a good one
>>107853654ts gna b a 'ge bc ts is js distrowars slop
>>107853654Windows. Whatever troonery is supposed to be you'll never escape it in open source software since it seems that all developers are either trannies, schizos or both. My advice is that you should grow up and stop crying about imagined culture wars and just use a distro that works for you.

Thinking of adding cloud backups on top of my local backups. What's the most cost effective provider for <1TB of data?
>>107852738I've been using backblaze, with decent results. I'm still at like 25Gb though
My z440 has been good to me the last 5 years. How long do you think it can realistically be a decent server? Mainly use it for storage, archive, backup, Media streaming, playing around with OSes and learning kubernetes.CPU: Xeon E5-2680 v4 / 96GB DDR4 ECC Storage: 2 x 240GB SSD, 1x 1TB HDD , 2x 8TB HDDGPU: NVIDIA Quadro P400
Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?

>>107848935I film a lot of local rallies (as in rally racing) and take hundreds of pictures during a weekend during that. Especially filming in 4k/60fps/hdr takes up tons of space. Plus the 200+ gb of music I have on my phone. So yeah, I need A LOT more than that. My S25 Ultra has 1tb in it and I constantly reach the point where I have to transfer stuff to my drives at home and delete stuff to not run out of space.

I heard he was responding well to some new treatment, I guess that was short lived. Looking at his podcast from 5 days ago, he was in really bad shape.Despite being remembered as a retard from the covid days, he eventually came around to some extent and in his last years suffered enough with cancer.

>>107827328I have the actual genuine keyboard this is based on that includes the win key instead of the other one that doesnt have it and comes with the ibm logoI dont really use it much and it feels lighter than the keyboard on the x220 and also a specific combination of win + shift + right seems to not work while all 3 of those keys individually work fineI'm curious if the tex shinobi feels better than the genuine lenovo one or not. I heard that middle button where mousewheel up/down is supposed to be doesnt actually work properly as a mousewheel like the regular thinkpad keyboard would>>107827945Honestly if i wanted a numpad i would just get a separate standalone one that can be placed like on the other side of the mouse and mousepad instead of increasing the distance between the kb and mouse >using an external usb mouse instead of the one built in to the keyboardIdk i use both the kb mouse and a regular usb mouse depending on my mood
>>107850572I guess I figured maybe I'd want to keep the disc drive. I still do use it, but really only occasionally. I actually do have some 2.5" HDDs lying around, but I take this laptop everywhere and I'm afraid of the HDD dying on me.Also are there any cool expresscard accessories for a T430? I don't need any more USB ports
My t480 shuts down after the first battery depletes and only switches to the second battery after i turn it back on. is this because im using cheap chinese replacement batteries?
>>107853674Probably. Calibrating them (may need to do it a few times for each) usually helps

ill admit that dlaa with dlss 4.5 looks very nice on elden ring.
>>107852757Why are we going backwards with resolutions and frame rates? I was playing Unreal Tournament at 1600x1200 with 4xAA at like 200 fps back in 2002. If someone had told me that 20 years in the future games would struggle to reach 60 fps at 1920x1080 and that everyone would be using technology to fake upscale everything, I would've thought they were pranking me.
That's nowhere near enough. I want more fake pixels and frames.
>>107853332Cool, that's all I want. I wish DLSS development went more towards upscaling in a more adaptive manner, so it could be used on emulators and the like instead of pushing fake frames.

it's over. the infinite AI investment money is drying up.
>>107852955>I think it relates to that chart I saw depicting how people in different countries viewed AI. In North America, Europe, and Africa (?) AI is viewed with hesitancy and suspicion. But in South America, India, and East Asia they are just hyped about it.I wonder if this has something to do with how tech is viewed in those countries. NA, Europe, Africa have all been burned pretty badly by big tech companies while South America (I don't think they even support AI that much though), India and East Asia have largely grown because of them. I also think that China heavily regulates their slop usage as well.
>>107847490generating math code for calculations and exectuing it is actually the smart way of doing itnot that it justifies llm slop
>>107853030I actually cut some of the same points from my reply. It's common for all VCs to have a stable of trusted C-suite types who have a history of turning around failing investments to prep for sale or IPO. Once the VC gets their money back they move those people to the next problem investment. There's no way that Phind got money without a solid plan and "adults" to ensure they stay on task. That's obviously why they immediately shifted their business plan and ditched all the free leeches. My guess is they have some competency in scraping based on previous work, and we all know AI needs more scraped content. And I'm sure there are some other YC companies they can be quietly paired up with to provide that data with.

Why are they so hellbent on destroying their brand? What's their endgame?
>>107853689>corporate slop that's being enshitifiedAnd it will have to get a lot more shitty before it is shittier than FOSS alternatives. His take was the lack of software. Your take was "Linux has almost all software available natively except for jewishy companies'. " so basically that sounds like a lack of widely used/industry-accepted software.
>>107853725Give some actual criticisms anon. Because every time I see someone bitch about FOSS quality, or just complain that Linux has no good alternatives there's never any legit criticisms. Just "It doesn't have this one thing I'm used to, and the ones on Linux are too different!"And who's saying you have to use FOSS? I bought reaper for my music composing, and it's actually better than anything I had used on windows. Perfect replacement for Mixcraft.OBS works natively on Linux, and I've replaced notepad++ with kate, and paint.net with pinta.So come on anon. What can't you use on Linux that you absolutely need? Because like I said before I usually find people giving things like 5 minutes before they get frustrated because things aren't exactly the fucking same as they're used to.
>>107853725Also I wasn't the lad who made that claim. I just look down on the inflexible among us.

Linux is starting to "just werk" more than windows. The OOB experience of windows is awful these days.

>>107847486I spent 3 days testing Linux distros on some shitbox PC someone brought to me, just to find one that worked. Debian wouldn't install power management utilities with xfce, multiple flavours of Ubuntu hung during install, mx worked but was too fucking lardy, bodhi and wattos had broken sound, antix refused to render the desktop, fyde refused to boot, kolibri requires you to build it just to try it, i really wanted loc to work as it ran the best but again sound didn't work. Finally lubuntu didn't hang during install and sound worked, I don't like it but I'm not getting paid to keep going. This is a fucking normal ass old Intel laptop and there's no excuse for this shitfest
