You don't need a SSD for memes and clips of dancing TikTok girls; a HDD is perfectly fine for that. For games it's another story.

All CRT Monitors after the early 90s are auto-scanning, so they easily sync up to the input video signal as long as GTF or CVT video timings are used and the horiz. and vert. rates are within its range. A lot of monitors also support 1Vpp video signals, but standard is 0.7Vpp. There's no dodgy hack needed. Custom video timings will probably look off compared to the preset ones though since the exact inductor and S-cap combinations for horizontal linearity and S-distortion correction respectively are tuned only perfectly for specific scanning rates (there's multiple sweet spots depending on the combinations), always optimised towards for those standard presets (like 1600x1200@75). 1600x1200@95 will also look blurrier than @75, since the output filtering on the VGA output of whatever GPU or VGA adapter one uses is NOT tuned to output very high pixel clock rates. So many fucking moron redditors jacking off about a DP to VGA adapter they discovered which allows for 600MHz pixel clock video signals to be output, (allowing say 2800x2160@75 to be output)... aaaand ofcourse, it looks like complete shit at that res! There's a reason VGA adapters and GPUs limit the pixel clock to max 370MHz, given their output filtering capacitors will start attenuating the higher frequencies of the video signal, and blur it to shit.

yeah its basically impossible to get even 19' monitors now for sub $200 let alone something that high spec. I was quite literal with what i said above. Most of these you just have to message immediately and say you'll take it at whatever time they have free, it sucks but it's the way it is now, in na your literally fucked and have no chance without dropping $500 usd+

I'd rather have a 4K/480Hz OLED, but they're too expensive for me, I don't have much time for gaming so it would be a waste. I got a cheap high- end CRT monitor for gaming/films instead. People buying a fucking CRT for 1K is ridiculous.
I really love my crts because all i really watch is old anime anyways, or vhs tapes which i just have tvs for.

It seems like there is some tiktok slop going on thats driving up the prices or something. On marketplace i've seen 15 women in the past 2 months begging for someone to sell them a tv/vhs comboe 13' tv, seemed so strange. I know when linus tranny tips put his video out on the fw900 they went from like $500 to $2-3k+ .
At least for my needs I don't really have a reason to spec whore much, although my only aperture grill is defective so that is pretty lame

Man, rape and destroy windows. I tried to upgrade to fedora on my pc today and it kept on failing. After burning two isos i learned that Autoplay was insta fucking them whenever rufus was done burning them. But i learnt that shit way too late and the installation when up to the point where it cleaned my hard drive so i can't even go back and fix it. I'm now going to have to wait go to the fucking library and re do it all over again and pray for it to not fuck itself up again.

Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?
I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release.
The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.
What do we do afterwards?

I can't make heads or tails off of these discussions either, I'm slowly convinced that >90% posters here are either AI bots or have never been employed in the field. I have not noticed our velocity increase to any noticeable degree over the past ~3 years. Otoh we had layoffs in the fall and that was noticeably immediately, work is a lot more stressfull and busy these days

A year ago our company started mandating the use of AI and tracking usage, and consistently it's the shittiest programmers that use AI the most. I do admit that AI might currently be having a positive effect in terms of "raising the skill floor" this way, but I have a feeling that these employees will just grow dependent on these tools and will never grow past them
>>
>>107678494
I have a variety of backup plans.
One thing for sure is that we're having to move out of our current apartment.
My wife will finish her degree in 1.5 years, and she works in a job AI can't do. In the coming 1.5 years I have time to prepare and get ahead of what I will study next. Should I get fired, I have unemployment benefits, which are enough to get by for the time.

I already signed up for career counselling. Not really because I believe that AI is an actual threat for me personally, but I have to admit that I just don't see myself doing this long term anymore, partly because of AI. I went from Junior Software Engineer to Solution Architect in 6 years, so I'd argue I'm pretty decent at the Job. But the joy is kinda gone.

Anyway with the career counselling I hope to find a definitive path to focus on.
I want to explore if Electrical Engineering is a job that has a lot of jobs where manual finger dexterity is required. It's a job with higher accountability on the software side for sure, but the goal is using my hands and fingers for more than typing on a keyboard and using a mouse. Instead I hope to actually build physical stuff. According to an infoday at the nearest University for Applied Science, I can easily start there, no admission exam required.

An Electrical Engineering degree also allows me to pivot into a very diverse set of occupations.

If the career counselor tells me that it is again a super computer based job in my country, I will explore wheter I become a nurse, which can also yield a great salary with some additional training later, or if I go for a trade job

I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.

For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.

What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?

I can't discern the difference between a painting and a reproduction, but if I was going to go to great length to collect paintings, I would want the originals, not reproductions. That's the point of FLAC, nothing else. If you cannot understand this analogy then you are fucking retarded.

Those are clearly different versions of the song. You have to be very careful about this when making codec comparisons, it's meaningless if the lossy version was made from a different version of the song that sounded different to begin with.
Here's an AAC made by directly encoding your FLAC with qaac (TVBR 63, ~128 kbps): https://files.catbox.moe/h1ilz1.m4a
>>
>>107677878
128kbps MP3 encoded with a modern version of LAME is actually pretty good for some genres of music. If you listen to simple singer-songwriter stuff it's probably fine. It's only when you have a lot of high frequency content, e.g. cymbals, that the difference is obvious.
>>
>>107680811
The lossy version will actually sound better because it removed most of the CRT whine. So much audio was ruined by deaf boomers leaving their CRT monitors on while recording. But you can at least notch filter it out without obvious damage. The top octave is mostly about total energy not the exact frequencies. If you ever listen using headphone you already implicitly accept this.

He was the boss of both Carmack and Abrash, probably better than most

I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.

I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.

After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.

Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.

So what? Mint "developer" is not a fucking real developer, it's just a distro maintainer, he doesn't (and shouldn't) write any code instead of some basic python scripts that glue shit together.
Most security "work" that maintainers do is just monitoring software in repost for new CVEs and backporting relevant security fixes (basically git cherrypicking)

This is objectively true and can be proven with the commit log. Basically all of the good parts of nix came directly from Anduril employees. Hopefully Anduril releases there own distribution so all the normal people that care about quality can move to that.
