Does anyone know anything about Comcast's repeat infringer policy specifically? I've gotten some DMCA notices lately and can't be fucked to get a seedbox/VPN until I have no other choice.As far as I can tell, the following are true:>Although nor foolproof, you're significantly, significantly less likely to get a notice if you stop seeding immediately after the download>I've only gotten notices from Paramount, other companies either don't send them or don't do so very quickly>Comcast has a nine-tier system, and you only trigger a new tier after getting multiple DMCA notices in a calendar month>Tiers 1 to 3 or 4 are just emails>After that, you start getting popups and might have to call Comcast to get them to go away>Tiers 7-8 shut your internet off for 8-24 hours or until you call them and promise to stop>Tier 9 gets you a 180-day ban from Xfinity servicesI have these questions1. Can the tier system activate only once a month at the end of the month (the only time I got a tier upgrade/warning email was one time at 10 AM near the end of the month), or can it go up multiple tiers in a single month if you keep racking them up?2. Do tiers go down if you've stopped torrenting or haven't gotten caught for a few months to a year, or will you go to tier four if you were at tier three and download two torrents four years later?Comment too long.

>>107715680You're really telling me you worry about this but you won't spend $5 a month on a VPN? While we're at it, you realise you can just buy an invite to IPT from IPT directly? I know it's not the Mercedez Benz of trackers but it has all you need and as long as you keep your computer on and seed torrents, the economy is easy since almost everything is freeleech. Right now it's not $20 anymore but $10 only.They don't pay me to shill this, I'm just trying to help you https://www.iptorrents.com/signup.phpI figure it's pointless to refer you to /ptg/ and since you seem a little hesitant to put any effort into torrenting so maybe $10 for a lifetime solution would be something you'd be willing to consider.

>>107715738AMD's and NVIDIA's boost algorithms are too complicated to put in a spec sheetthere would be thousands of entries because it's not A frequency at B voltage, it's A frequency at B voltage and C current draw and D power draw and E compute units active and F VRM temperature, etc...their engineers run tons of simulations to ensure the hardware is never damaged by the boost algorithm and put all that data in the firmwareintel doesn't do this btw, if the 285K says max turbo frequency 5.7 GHz you will always get 5.7 GHz on two cores at <70 Cmaybe that's more to your taste but it's also the reason 14900Ks were killing themselves, their boost algorithms are too dumb
MicroCenter in my area has ASRock 9070 XTs for $580. Reserved one, total is about $625 after tax. Kept hoping to find a 5080 at MSRP since I'm on a 2160p display, but with prices about to rise on both sides, and availability drying up...well, that's that I suppose. Not sure if I'll stick on with it or possibly swap for a 5080 (if it even comes back at $1k MSRP). I just want to chill.

It's been a few years since its birth, and many people in tech have made similar decisions, mostly because they struggle to find other options. Over the years they have seen this combination of two different worlds nurtured, and regret, anger, relief, and many emotions ensuedIs it worth it, /g/?

>>107711429Questions like "what was the first X" or "who was the first to do Y" rarely have a satisfying clear cut answer. Was the Wright Flyer the first aeroplane? Only if you discount earlier work on the grounds that those flights weren't sufficiently "sustained" or "controlled".

It's good for organizing projects & finalizing/formalizing notes you've written down. Pen & Paper + "Second Brain" App of one's choice is GOATed.
>>107711357But then I might as well use said project management app to track my notes
>>107707598>Why the fuck is Obsidian so popular?It isn't. The company has been shilling this for yers, easily recognized for using the logo plus some inane text. I am surprised the mods have not ejected them years ago, this is blatant advertising.
>>107715066Not really sure what your use case is, but having all the project related info in the project management system is fine. If the only thing you take notes on is projects why not keep it there?You can have TWO systems, one for your notes and one for project related items. Obsidian is very Cope tier for: To-do, project management, notes with drawings.Its good at notes, and if you wanted to make your notes a searchable database for SQL enjoyers who cannot get enough of it at work.
Welcome to the Daily Programming Thread. What are you working on, /g/?Previous: >>107690624
>>107715421Autists always think in single objects, single operations. Do one thing, do it well. Keep it simple, stupid. They are almost completely incapable of thinking in batches. Which is absolutely retarded since at least 1982, which is the year the 80286 with its protection rings and mode switches released.And autists just ignored it. NT has almost no batching, so does Linux. And OpenGL. And many DirectX versions. And even when they try to make things better they revert to old patterns, like with Vulkan - you can *bind* resources in batch via vkBindBufferMemory2, but you cannot *create and destroy them*.(And no, io_uring is not gonna save us, because the file system drivers are all stuck in 1988. That's why openat2(RESOLVE_CACHED) exists.)>>107715477Autists are good at optimizing local systems and are completely incapable of reasoning about global ones. Do an strace on some random program, see how many calls to mmap it does for loading in libraries. Every single such call is a potential TLB shootdown.
>>107715368- It's not shy about breaking backwards compatibility, and it has completely redesigned itself about 4 times.- Implementation of "extensions" depends 100% on the vendor and there's a matrix of support that you have to consult if you want to know if you can use any of the features from basic to obscure to fundamental.- The naming conventions aren't a convention. Literally anything goes.- The names sometimes make literally no sense at all. I forget what, but there's something like "GL_BGRXXX" that it's RGB and is in fact 4 bytes.- It's not open-source and it's not a library. The name makes literally no sense.- There's a component language called GLSL that has 7 different versions that all suck in different ways and abuses syntax in ways that make no sense.- It has the worst documentation of all time.I'm sure there's more that I don't wish to remember.In like 1978 elite computer programmers were tasked with writing something that could render a spinning cube. People used it and continue to use it because people use it and it's an industry standard.No one writes a graphics engine with OpenGL. You consult documentation on a website that hasn't been updated since 1998 and make a bunch of function calls with no classes or namespaces to hook yourself up to the GPU.Again, it's not a "library", almost nothing involved with making a graphics engine is handled for you. It's like a rusty, shit-smelling pipe that the city zoning laws demand that you use to get fresh water to your kitchen.
>>107715514>Do an strace on some random program, see how many calls to mmap it does for loading in libraries. Every single such call is a potential TLB shootdown.No, none of them do, because only munmap or mremap cause TLB flushes.

What's the best 2025 laptop
>>107715271I mean it’s been decades that Mac owned the music production segment of computing. It absolutely will be you best bet by far, I’ll be honest I don’t even know all the Apple eco system or what it cost but I know the 30 or so people I know who makes music have Mac’s.
Just check any top10 of whatever you need to use it
>>107715574thanx will definitely be investing in an m4 max this tax season
>>107715271Well, you can use whatever you want. I know some musicians witn windows laptops and I run windows on my desktop computer. Working with audio is better on macos due to how audio drivers work. But overall it's pretty similar.
>>107715622Np I wouldn’t jump on a m4 til you know exactly how much better the m5 is. Apple goes nuts sometimes and actually makes massive jumps that make their previous products a dead cope. Plan accordingly to apples development cycles.

Alright well since firefox is doubling down on implementing ai in their browser and theyre completely ignoring their user base professing how they dont want it. Which is the better fork of firefox to flee to? Im considering waterfox or librewolf since both are likely not to implement the new aislop bloat. Recently heard about this floorp browser too but its new to me and idk anything about it. Plus the name sounds gay as fuck which is the only reason im suspicious of it, the name alone already sounds like its begging to be abandoned but thats just my surface level take
is it possible to disable url bar autofocus when opening new tab in firefox?

Anybody else experience random freezes on Void Linux? It will freeze and mouse and keyboard will not work and I have to reboot with power button.
