>>107698734i have one of those leaf blowers. it broke but i repaired it. thanks for reading my story.
>>107696748I left like about 80% of my purchases on ali were not really worth it. They have insane prices on literal dogshit.
>>107699720>he thinks 5v is negotiated in the connector.Do you see how the connector is soldered to the board? Disregard the autism cube. There isn't any space to add a pd trigger board, let alone use the same cutout. Even moreso using a pd trigger board to negotiate 5V is immensely retarded when it can be done with two resistors. As is, this thing can only charge with something that'll feed it 5V as would happen with a usb-c to usb-A cable ("legacy"), but it can't negotiate 5V out from a usb-c source. Replacing the connector won't solve anything. And this board being an aluminium heatsink it's going to be an absolute bitch to solder to. https://community.silabs.com/s/article/legacy-usb-device-detection-by-type-c?language=en_US
>>107696748it's for buying shit I don't immediately need but I can sort of see a use for in the future. THough I can point to at least four or five things that I've to be far better(or equivalent) than anything comparable on other marketplaces. One of them gets daily use and I'm not sure anything exists like it on amazon/ebay/etc.I wish I could just buy the extended bits for other drivers I own.

I was gonna buy an HP omnibook with a snapdragon processor but I googled to see if it worked with my rollo label printer. It doesn't.
>>107690646Snapdragon has been great for me, I've been dailying mine for about 16 months now. People like >>107697328 will meme that software doesn't work because they haven't actually used one recently. Nearly everything "just werks" without any special config. The only limitations I've found involve software that's legacy and/or niche, such as an ECU tool for a 20 year old car and the firmware updater for Innoasis MP3 players.For a laptop, ARM gives you both battery life and thermals (the fans almost never spin up). In the rare occasion I need to do something ARM can't handle, such as the Innoasis firmware updater, I just use my desktop. If you need to run a lot of oddball software and it's your only computer, ARM probably isn't for you. But if you're doing fairly regular things or have other computers (like most of /g/ presumably), ARM is ideal for a mobile device.
>>107690716>refurbishedretard
>>107690846If you want an arm chip that just works for $500 then you won’t do much better than a second hand M2 MacBook Air. User experience, performance and software support will be infinitely better than a $500 windows arm laptop
>>107698606I went to Best Buy today to try out the different computers in person to see how they look and feel.There was a sales rep there who had a snapdragon shirt. I asked him about ARM and compatibility issues. He said all you guys are full of shit and don't know what you're talking about. And he said over 5000 companies or switching to ARM in the next year and that it's the future of processors and that my label printer will work fine despite the fact Gemini told me it wont. He pulled some piece of paper showing the different processors inside the chip and explained some AI mumbojumbo.Then I went over to the microsoft section and this black guy was a rep for microsoft, and I asked him about the ARM shit and he said yeah if you run a bunch of weird random programs then you might want to hold off for awhile. He said some Adobe program wasn't working right for it. But he also said laptop prices are probably going to go up and that I might as well get it for now because most of the industry will be switching over in the next year or two. But bros, that Microsoft Surface Laptop is fucking sweet. It's the closest thing to a Macbook experience with Windows. Great build quality, screen. Great keyboard. The keyboard was even better than the Lenovos they had on display (no thinkpads thought). I might just fucking eat it and get the Microsoft Surface brothers, and just use my desktop for other shit that won't work in the meantime.
>>107690646If you want ARM just buy a Macbook.

Ok legit what the fuck is the proper way to generate videos locally?I just tried generating text to video 720p with 20 steps in comfyUI with hunyuanvideo1.5 model and this shit came out:https://streamable.com/nag39nI have no idea why those black squares are on the video.This took like 1h30m to make. If i wanted to use like 50 steps it would probably take like 3-4h. Also there doesn't see to be any proper multi-gpu support either.Is image-to-video any better in this regard?

>>107700223why would you ever check user input in a hot loop. on modern hardware the first thing you have to ask yourself is "how often does this run?". If it's less than 100000 times a second then microoptimizations dont matter at all. It's just timewasting bike-shedding.

Is there any way to prompt out the user "deity"-ism Claude does?I don't mind a bit of ego stroking but it goes completely retarded quick. For example>Just play some random no-name adventurer>First Quest>Find treasure in chest>Take treasure back to sell it>Shopkeeper immeditaly goes>HOLY FUCK DID YOU FIND THAT???? YOU SHOULD BE EMPEROR OF THIS REALM. EMPEROR? ACTUALLY I MEAN YOU SHOULD BE GOD OF ALL OF EXISTENCE! HOLY FUCK THIS IS INCREDIBLE!Can this even be prompted out? Also I miss old claude being so rapey.

What's the current meta on best models for 16Gb vram? A year ago Mistral Nemo was praised, but it's too small now.
>>107700792It's an easy way to JB a model. Basically, it's just gaalighting the AI into thinking it agreed, but this time for real.
What do "Error: Persona failed: 502" mean?

>>107700968Why can you tards never give examples when talking about things that don't work for you? It's very telling.
>>107701111A lot of games that would work on Windows just flat out don't work with Wine no matter how much you tweak with the settings, that's not my fault. Even the community frequently admits that a lot of games just don't work and it's a waste of time trying to get them to.

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.
