>>107698199Ask in /hpg/>>107700266There's offbrand throwaway chifi and then there are actual china-based brands that try to maintain a reputationAnd some of those have a reputation for shit QC and others are actually quite fine. The reason they can still undercut is that their QC is also done by chinese sweatshop workers at $0.10/h, and all of their R&D is done by chinese wunderkind corporate slaves for $10/h rather than western audio engineers racking in $300/h to tune harmansMany of the chinese brands also have western based warehouses and accept returns and offer some sort of warranty period too. It's not 2010 anymore grandpaSnapheisers are also not the peak of reliability and durability lmao
>>107699705>worstaudio>defaults to pajeetlmaowhy would you do that though, are you on dialup or something
>>107700272If the company has established maintenance procedures, yesIf it'd a dysfunctional mess where the "server maintenance" is the chick with katanas just deciding to ssh into the server to upgrade some stuff because she decided it was a good time, then the downtime could well be unexpected to everybody else, or everybody outside of the engineering team for example
why is one for podcasting while the other is also for streaming? i just want something that doesn't sound as shitty as my yeti
>>107701153>actual china-based brands that try to maintain a reputationthose always do a form of penetration pricing, its a standard chinese strategy (割韭菜)sell good products at a low margin or loss to gain reputation, only for them to pull the rug and abuse their reputation selling cheaper and cheaper trash>The reason they can still undercut is that their QC is also done by chinese sweatshop workers at $0.10/h, and all of their R&D is done by chinese wunderkind corporate slaves for $10/h rather than western audio engineers racking in $300/h to tune harmansall myths, their manufacturing isnt magically cheaper than western manufacturersif anything established brands have cheaper manufacturing due to pre-existing supply chains, that these chinese brands still have to set uptheyre cheaper because theyre actually cutting costs somewhere, for the liftoff period its usually their own margin, but they slowly move that over to cheaping out on research,development and manufacturing

>>107699692Nothing would work if you needed a driver for your CPU. If the BIOS isn't even detecting it then it's not installed properly.
>>107700419I'm pretty sure any kind of write to NTFS using Linux is enough for Windows to flag it as needing CHKDSK on boot. Pressing any key to skip it used to be a constant thing back when I used an NTFS drive as shared storage. I use a NAS for this purpose now.
>>107700655yes, linux flags it as such because it (the driver) knows it can't check it

Who is this dogshit piece of shit for? Who asked for it? Why would I want to install it? Even worse, why would I not want to uninstall it on preinstalled computer?Are people at Microsoft even aware that they just killed themselves with one simple move where people actively downgrade or switch to other OS just to NOT be at Win11? They think they hold monopoly or what?

Give me the pros and cons of satellite internet. Will it ever beat fiber?
Fiber has higher speeds, lower latencies, last longer, cats and clouds don't block the signals.For some people, its easier to put satellites in orbit than dig trenches to everyone's house.

when windows 12?
>>107689698Why the fuck are you talking like you where chosing between hardware parts? Just install whatever version and if you have any problem swap and give a try to the alternative instead.Go with W10 and when support runs its course swap to W11. It's very obvious W11 is not mature yet and the latter you jump in the better.
>>107691693i don't think that's possible, as TRIM is a feature to pre-erase blocks which are unused. only the filesystem driver knows what blocks are unused, and the filesystem driver runs on the operating system level, not the ssd/hardware level

What exactly is the point of libreboot?
>>107700244Libreboot was deblobbed coreboot. Nowadays its a coreboot distribution that minimizes the blobs and simplifies the installation process. Canoeboot is what libreboot was, and still complies with the 4 freedoms, at the cost of hardware compatibility and stability.See:https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
>>107700244>>107700837It's worth mentioning that the current state of affairs was the result of Rowe repeatedly starting drama for no reason. First, he claimed that the FSF fired some unnamed troon out of transphobia and demanded Stallman step down, then pulled Libreboot from the GNU Project when he didn't (and the story was found to be completely made up). Two years later, he started putting blobs back in to support more hardware, stating that he now despises the FSF and everything they stand for, which led to an older version of libreboot without blobs being forked under the name "GNU Boot". After about a year of obsessively shitting all over it, making fake sites with borked parodies of it and so on, he decided to deblob libreboot again under the name Canoeboot so people would use it instead of GNU Boot, which I guess is like winning the argument in his mind. He then made a big scene trying to have it resubmitted to the GNU Project, just for that extra bit of attention.
>>107696983It could've been done under a different name besides libreboot. But this has lead to the situation we're in now.If anything, libreboot should assume the role of the devil and warn people about the cost of using nonfree firmware and microcode updates. That way, it teaches people how to value freedom, as well as what ways they can do to resolve the situation:>accept or reject the deal with the devil; accepting may be the only way to remove the existing proprietary BIOS/UEFI on newer machines, which in itself is moving up the freedom ladder>complain to the hardware manufacturers. while this may have limited impact, getting your complaints on record helps>document experiences. write a blog about using the hardware with libreboot/canoeboot/whatever and tell people what works, what doesn't, so that people are informed about the hardware and given more transparency over what they're getting if they buy this hardware
>>107701076I think you're getting some of the details mixed up. Although she accused the FSF of transphobia, Rowe was actually one of Stallman's defenders when other people were accusing him of transphobia and telling him to step down.
>>107701236100% this. Never forgot the list of retards that signed the letter.

Reminder of the following:1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use. https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS. 2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones. You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.

>>107689864I bought mine, because it was 3 times smaller and lighter than my P50.The yearly 5-10% bump in performance isn't worth it.The battery life tends to be around 10 hours, so even if your components are suddenly much more efficient you'll get a smaller battery and the same 10 hours of battery life in a slightly smaller chassis.
