Got an android a couple years ago because you kind of need a smart phone these days (literally can't log into my bank without their app for example). Picked Motorola because I heard it has minimal/no bloat and that was true for a bit but then they started adding bloat to the phone via updates. Managed to disable all of it but some turns itself back on with system updates which of course are mandatory. The most sickening one was an app that starts downloading gigabytes of random trash apps on my phone without consent unless disabled (or not connected to wi-fi). Literally malware.
What a fucking horseshit era to live in.

My current phone is rooted and I'm waiting for a unicorn gamery phone with a slide out controller that won't have proprietary unreleased blobs so it can run arch or fedora

I bought an used Samsung QVO 4TB some years ago for less than 150€ and that was a good deal at the time

The price for Samsung QVO drives, especially new in the box, have jumped up and I really don't understand why since EVO drives are better and at a lower price.

>>107682279
I'm glad I bought my dramless QLC 4TB SSDs when I did. Hopefully the health check stats are real and the thing lasts for another half decade at least.

>>107683556
non shit SATA SSDs are not really made anymore. Generally the QVO ones we a little bit cheaper than the EVOs but not by much at all

@kdefags what's your ram usage like? do you experience decreasing free memory over time (a day after your last reboot for example)

>>107683578
Unless your memory goes to 100% and swapping starts or your system crashes its intended. Stop watching number go up.

>>107683391
You stop thinking about structs and start thinking about pages.

>>107683073
So what's the correct way to do it?

>>107683570
>>107683466

>>107683590
Meaning what exactly?

>>107683615
Meaning that, instead of relying on shitty heuristics that can only go off of size, you allocate address space and memory from the kernel directly and partition it like you see fit. Data that's resizable? Gets its own arena, with lots of address space to grow. Data that's not? Gets into a shared pool, with not so much space. You don't need the data anymore? Keep the mapping around as a scratchpad. And don't bother freeing it in the end; the kernel is going to take care of that, and in less mode switches, too.

>>107683480
never disagreed with that assessment. i still think the 5080 is not a real 80 class gpu and stand by everything said in >>107683343.

>>107683504
Call it what you want all of AMD performs worse than the 5080. Just buy one if you are so obsessed with it. I have one in my backup PC and it runs very well. Nice quite and cool. I'd still recommend the 5090 though.

is 70% brightness too high for a QD-OLED? Whites look too grey on anything below 60% but OLED chuddies say the higher the brightness, the quicker the burn-in

Now I have no idea if its the cheapshit refurbished mobo pci slot getting fried that also may have fried the gpu or the gpu it self decided to cook some eggs. The gpu and slots seem to look pristine, so Im guessing its the gpu. Anybody had their windforce shit the bed before ?

Reposting my retarded question from another thread;
Forgive the retarded question, but been out of the game for awhile and want to make some decisions.
I need to replace some parts that died, and given the cost of ram all I could source was a 32 gig kit of cl30 ddr 5 ram.
Historically my "ai box" has had a 2x48gb kit of slightly worse timings, the main hardware in there is 2 3090s, and my question is if I took the 96 gig kit for my main build and gave it 32, how much would that hurt things? I know most stuff goes in the vram, but as far as recent models are there better quants or anything to where I won't notice that missing ram?
Basically to rephrase for this general how bad will 32gigs fuck me for daily use, I have not had a computer with less than 64 since 2018, I really doubt I can find another 32 gigs at a remotely reasonable price.

Language is best used to troll.

use tor moar

your problem is thinking in terms of direct alternatives. e.g. an "alternative facebook", rather than looking at the problem from a much higher level.
4chan is an alternative facebook, writing a novel using a typewriter is an alternative facebook, standing on a bridge and jerking off is an alternative facebook. why? because the fundamental purpose of all of these things is to occupy your attention. there are 24 hours in a day. instead of asking: how can i re-implement x or y bullshit but MY way, ask: what isn't already being done, has existing demand or is likely to find itself in-demand if you commit to it, and is within your capabilities to deliver. this sounds high-and-mighty but can be as trivial as "a neocities blog where i share 4chan posts i enjoyed every friday"
you're not going to get 8 billion people looking at that, but you might get 30 or 300.

an obsession with technical competence is one of the many blind alleyways these sorts of things usually go down. another is attempting to go cold turkey on the centralized web instead of utilizing it, as minimally as possible, to try to funnel people elsewhere. it's no great sin to use discord if you can use it to funnel people onto another site or into a game or whatever, and it can be a great sin to use matrix (as one or two small/mid tier imageboards have found when their entire userbase hopped over to vegan discord to the detriment of the board.)

as lame as it sounds: you have to like people. it is deeply uncool, but you have to recognize that the problem with the centralized web is a technological one and a sociological one, but not a human one. it is entirely possible to have 8 billion people online in a better way than this.

thanks man. just woke up. im sick and fuckin tired of people complaining about web20 and how much soul it had when it was shit, and having no power or way to fight back against big tech or turn the internet back into cyberspace
wasn't aware of the cyberpunk general, I propose we link there in the op and maybe to the thinkpad general too

>>107679116
Replying because this is an interesting thread. OP, I think you’re discounting the recent quality of self-hosted services and the power of consumer technology. It’s a common mindset to think that advancements in information technology happen in linear paradigm shifts where there’s a shiny new thing that will completely change the world (currently we are on AI but it was previously things like Web3, Big Data, etc). From my observations, it seems more like the biggest gains in information technology happen laterally: first there were few computers, now there are many computers; first only a few people had access to the internet and now many people do. I think the next “step” is we go from an Internet to many “internets.” Note I’m not advocating for something like I2P, but connected Intranets. It’s trivial to do something like self-host an entire copy of Wikipedia and put it behind a VPN, and then have your buddies connect to it. Maybe host mirrors of other websites and run a small search engine too. Since the network is gated, you don’t have to worry about AI, or shitposters or whatever. Making a small local search engine to test this concept has been on my TODO list for a while, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

> The only reason normies and tards are dreamgazing at yesteryear's cyberspace is solely due to how shit our modern one is.

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with Web2.0. The issues arose from companies and outside organizations that have interests that conflict with the average user. In terms of QOL, I’d say sensibilities have gotten better and computers are faster. I see no reason why we couldn’t return to a simpler web and retain both aesthetics and functionality.

* in retrospect, i mean. i for one loved win95, but i can't speak for everyone since i was young when it came out so only briefly used 3.1 before moving to 95. like i hadn't spent years getting comfortable in 3.1 before trying 95

>>107683553
>* in retrospect
When you think about it, that's the bottom line. The advantages of new OSs are only recognised in retrospect - in the moment, all the end-user sees is "this is slower and more bloated than DOS/Windows/OS/2/macOS n-1".
For example, you needed new apps to take advantage of most of the Win95 features - someone running Windows 3.x programs got almost none of the advantages you've listed so far.

Faking GPS data is easy, even without rooting the phone you can broadcast fake NMEA sentences and cell tower ids with an SDR radio.

>>107683547
Apps can easily tell when the gps is spoofed, like, try running pokemon go without getting banned for spoofing the gps and tell me how it goes.

Not everywhere is inner city Detroit. Lots of homes are in low crime, high trust areas where random people don't show up at your house to peer through the door while casing the place. For that house, I'm willing to bet all of the bedrooms are on the second floor, which can't be seen from the front door.

>>107683585
Yes, there are many ways to reduce the likeliness of fooling the app. For games, it's worth investing the time to do so. For food delivery apps, they're not going to invest the resources to do so, preferring for the customer to report the situation instead. It's bad customer service but these companies are all about controlling IT expenses.

Yet you cannot post a single example of said fake gps data not being caught, you're just talking on hypotheticals.
