>>107853746I can't tell but I think I have pleb ears. I've tried multiple sennheisers and the hifiman xs. They sound different but I couldn't explain how and I couldn't say the hifiman sounded objectively better just different somehow. To me personally planar feels overrated. Maybe I just don't know how to tune it correctly or am using the wrong equipment.
>Location USA>Budget$300>What exactly you're looking for (be as detailed as possible)I want to walk around listening to music wirelessly off my phone with the best possible audio quality at that price point. Like a small step above normie shit like Beats or Bose. I dont really want to fiddle with audio equalizers so I'm looking for the class of headphones just under that >Previous gear and your thoughts on itSony shitcans - pretty good but I can tell that the audio quality is meh.
>>107853792https://a.co/d/81a3ILHGreat reviews, great company. Think it would be exactly what you are looking for.
>>107853792>>107853809was gonna say spend $200 more on 630s but yeah Momentum 4s will be good too.
>>107853809>>107853823I was just looking at these. Apparently they go cheaper than 300$ so might just price track them and waitThanks

Is there a way to automatically alter a theme to change the background color instead of the text color for syntax highlighting?I really like the look of >>107846645 >>107850751 It might be the final solution to the contract problem for light themes and it also completes the paper document analogy by having the text literally be highlighted liked with a marker and not using colored ink.

>>107853066Thank you. No, it's NBP, Sora doesn't support 2K resolution and 3:4 AR; it's inspired by this:https://pinterest.com/pin/65794844552402303/but direct txt2img written by Gemini:>**Subject & Narrative:**> A captivating, three-quarter portrait of a young girl with a glorious mane of cascading, copper-red hair, standing amidst the awakening blooms of a spring orchard. She pauses to gently cradle a branch of white apple blossoms, her pale, porcelain skin dusted with a constellation of natural freckles. Her expression is serene and knowing, with a subtle, soft smile and bright eyes engaging the viewer. She wears a textured, wide-brimmed woven straw hat that frames her face, and a delicate white dress with intricate lace trim on the sleeves, suggesting an Edwardian summer elegance.>**Artistic Style & Medium:**> An oil painting in the virtuoso style of John Singer Sargent. The piece should feature his signature "alla prima" technique, utilizing bold, confident, and fluid brushstrokes. The texture of the paint is visible, particularly in the white lace of the dress and the highlights of the hair. The rendering of the face is smooth but painterly, capturing the luminosity of skin. 3:4 aspect ratio.>**Lighting & Color Palette:**> The lighting is natural and dappled, characteristic of painting "en plein air." The color palette is lush and sophisticated: vibrant warm ochres and burnt siennas for the hair, contrasted against a background of deep, varying forest greens and soft shadowed foliage. The white dress is not pure white but composed of thick impasto strokes of cream, pale blue, and lavender to represent shadow and reflected light, a hallmark of Sargent’s mastery over white fabric.>**Composition & Atmosphere:**> The background is a loose, impressionistic wash of green bokeh and vague floral shapes, keeping the focus sharply on the subject. The atmosphere is romantic, timeless, and breathable, capturing the fleeting beauty of youth and spring.
>>107853452I see. Very nice, thank you for sharing! I shall have to try NBP sometime, it's the only generator i haven't tried yet.

Linux is starting to "just werk" more than windows. The OOB experience of windows is awful these days.
>>107849838>Due to the boomers that ran the placenow imagine the same place with lunix
>>107847486I spent 3 days testing Linux distros on some shitbox PC someone brought to me, just to find one that worked. Debian wouldn't install power management utilities with xfce, multiple flavours of Ubuntu hung during install, mx worked but was too fucking lardy, bodhi and wattos had broken sound, antix refused to render the desktop, fyde refused to boot, kolibri requires you to build it just to try it, i really wanted loc to work as it ran the best but again sound didn't work. Finally lubuntu didn't hang during install and sound worked, I don't like it but I'm not getting paid to keep going. This is a fucking normal ass old Intel laptop and there's no excuse for this shitfest
>>107852212>mx worked but was too fucking lardyHow ancient is the e-waste you're using?
>>107852369z8350 with 2gb of soldered ram, and the drive isnt even an emmc its a SD card soldered to the board. they bought it in 2019 if you can believe thati updated lubuntu and now it kernel panics on boot fuck this shit
>>107848888Try Winboat or WinApps
>youtube made the thumbnails bigger again
why are they constantly changing shit? will there ever be a point in which design philosophy of tech/webdesign returns to lightweight and simple? there is so much fucking java going on. youtube uses half a fucking gb just in the background. paused.
Ok it's already too late for ram and GPUs.. what else should I buy before the price of literally everything goes up? What's next on the chopping block??
>>1078509703.5" high capacity server drivesit will be a bloodbath worse than SSDs
>>107851842You're late to the game. Used ones have just about doubled in price already. I really would have liked to have gotten another 12TB drive as a spare, too, but I'm not doing it now.
>>107851160here the gpu market got totally fucked after the pandemic, it never recovered.
Hard drives, as high capacity as you can get. Buy multiple of the same ones for mirroring. I just got another 2x4tb today. I'll feed them to my z440 which will be my homelab/storage for the next 10yrs (it's already almost 10 yrs old).
>>107853781This. Went out last weekend and got 3x 1tb nvme drives and 4x 1tb sata ssd's. Price went up on all of them within a few days.
I fucking wish Ubuntu was good. It just doesn't work for gaming because of snaps.
>>107852860>
>>107852834You could just not use snaps
>>107853073I know, but it's more the fact that Ubuntu ships with snaps, and they suck, and I don't want to use a distro that uses trash stuff by default.
>>107852834You have just as much ability to use flatpak or repo packages for gaming stuff on Ubuntu as you do on any other distro.So gaming works just as well on Ubuntu as any other distro.OP is a faggot as always

Why did youngsters decide to ditch this website all of a sudden? It used to be THE social media website for the longest time but almost exclusively used by boomers these days.

Only 40+ people are active users. The rest have moved on.
>>107853527And last but not least>Kept asking for ID or to videocapture your face in order to verify your account way before ukstan started messing around with online censorship laws>Contacting meta for help is useless as fuck
Social media was fun because I could keep up to date with my friends. Now my feed is algoslop because people stopped posting because now their feed is algoslop.The only people left using Facebook are 40+ year olds commenting on ragebait and AI trash
>>107853779freaky to think how little human-human engagement there is on the internet these days.
>>107853779I don't know how much of my nostalgia is tainted with childhood memories but I remember being a kid on Facebook and my friends would just post random stuff and their thoughts. That's all my feed ever was. Sometimes there would be pictures and maybe an announcement from a band or two but ragebait didn't exist and nobody was posting for attention or to try and grow a following.
Which distro has the least amount of troonery? I was misguided by peers into installing fedora
just install pop os
>>107853654what's wrong with fedora? it's a good one
>>107853654ts gna b a 'ge bc ts is js distrowars slop
>>107853654Windows. Whatever troonery is supposed to be you'll never escape it in open source software since it seems that all developers are either trannies, schizos or both. My advice is that you should grow up and stop crying about imagined culture wars and just use a distro that works for you.

Thinking of adding cloud backups on top of my local backups. What's the most cost effective provider for <1TB of data?
>>107852738I've been using backblaze, with decent results. I'm still at like 25Gb though
My z440 has been good to me the last 5 years. How long do you think it can realistically be a decent server?

I heard he was responding well to some new treatment, I guess that was short lived. Looking at his podcast from 5 days ago, he was in really bad shape.Despite being remembered as a retard from the covid days, he eventually came around to some extent and in his last years suffered enough with cancer.
