But it's not. I started using Linux with Slackware and moved through a ton of distros over the years to include SUSE, Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Arch, and now Pop.
Pop is not slow at all. It works right out of the box especially for gaming. I had my fun in the early days of compiling card and peripheral drivers, tracking down dependencies... I just want something that works now and using a VM machine for tinkering and fucking around.

SO I want a real answer by everyone hates Pop, but as someone who's used Linux for almost 2 decades, there is literally nothing wrong with it.

Many political strategists believe the optimal window for China to annex Taiwan is around 2026-2027. Perhaps Sam Altman had prior knowledge which lead to his decision to order 40% of the global RAM supply (raw, uncut wafers that can be warehoused) in preparation of the enviable. As this order is being fulfilled tech companies will be forced to develop non-Taiwanese supply chains immediately. In the end result OpenAI would have the world's largest reserve of critical AI infrastructure components.

The RAM crisis is being caused by a bunch of silicon valley cultists who think they can create God by buying a shit ton of RAM and scaling up their stupid chatbots. They have no more plan then to get a shit ton of GPUs and RAM and just scale huge on compute. Literally no plan.

>buy RAM
>?????
>create God

That is the cult's plan and they have effectively swindled a bunch of people into thinking they can do it, including rich capitalist investors who think they can just create robots and chatbots that will be good enough to let them fire all their workers and replace them. Everyone in this situation is dumb.

I think all the retarded shortages we had recently were because of this. The west is stockpiling as many chips as they can because their TMSC US plant failed miserably and they know they're at the mercy of China the second this kind of event happens.
The troll part is that China doesn't operate on the same short term schedule the West does, so it's entirely possible an invasion doesn't happen for 2 more decades. They probably assumed China was sure to invade during the Ukraine war.

On the off chance this is not some ragebait troll, I'll just give a brief overview of what a typical project would look like- create a system to handle databases in different work-environment departments using a single user interface. Create said database and modify for different uses in each department. R&D, accounting, what's now called "human resources", company management, etc. System accessible to multi-users simultaneously with restrictions on access according to department and company guidelines. You get the idea. I hope.

Collaboration was different members of the group are responsible for working on different modules individually and the group working together on integration into a single, cohesive software suite.

We used 2 systems, Prime and Digital. PrimOS and RSTS/E respectively.

And, yes, I guess this could all be done with a.. .fax machine... but the project would probably still be unfinished here in 2026.

I was thinking that maybe I could compromise and do a generic box type, without caring about the type of the boxed value. it wouldn't force me to having to expose types to the user, and I would still get better semantics for handling nullability. to me this syntax below looks fine but I don't know if I'm conditioning myself to think it is
some_num = 2!
no_num = ?
[1, 2, 3][0] // 1!
[1, 2, 3][4] // ?
if false 1 // ?, with lazy evaluation of the body
2! else 3 // 2
// streaked together, if <cond> <expr1> else <expr2> behaves like expected

>>107732240
it could get annoying and confusing without types
are you going to give box all the same operators
also may be worth considering more than just optionality, e.g. asynchrony iteration etc etc
>>
>>107732240
What's the point of boxing a value in a dynamically typed language?
Boxed or not, if I'm getting a value I presumably want to do something with it, so I have to care about the type of the value to know what I can do with it. I don't see you doing me any favours by making that harder for me.
Good job reinventing NaN i guess.

It's probably the display cable. Try reseating it and see if things improve, but if not, replace it. It's probably fucky where the cable goes thru the hinge. It's a bit of a pain but should be a simple disassembly/reassembly. As long as you go slow and keep your screws sorted it'll be fine. Won't be any glue holding the screen in the lid, just a few fiddly snaps for the bezel I think.
>>
>>107732135
okay I'm going to try this, thanks. good to hear it's probably not the display itself. on the other hand, the thing that I would like to upgrade most is actually the display, because I'm still using the stock display with TN panel which looks horrible. I could get a LP125WH2-SLB3 for 100 bucks, if this is better than, say, the display of a t14 gen 1 then it's maybe worth it, otherwise I should probably just buy a more recent thinkpad (t14 gen >= 3 would be nice for 16:10 aspect ratio) and retire my good old x220 (rip goat keyboard). can someone comment on this?

>>
>>107732274
X13 G1 or G2 with 4th/5th gen ryzen mobile CPU should be pretty close.
>>
>>107732212
The X220/230 is really at that tipping point where it doesn't make a ton of sense to upgrade it unless you're married to that form factor and feature set and have very modest computing needs. The IPS panel is a significant improvement over the TN but still not comparable to modern IPS screens. There's a fair bit of ghosting and the colors aren't amazing.

If a $100 panel sets you up to get another year's use out of it or longer, maybe that's worth it. If you already have the upgrade itch and the performance/heat/battery life is already bugging you, save your money and put it into something newer.

X13G3 is going to be the first X series to get a 16:10 panel. If that's way out of budget, maybe limp your X220 along til prices get cheaper.

It's your call ultimately.

How to tag anime with jellyfin?

Has anyone managed to use jellyfin on a Samsung smartTV? I did try a DLNA server and the built-in browser, but both look like shit and the navigation is not ideal.
It looks like I can't screencast from the android app, because that doesn't work from a different subnet (the server Is running as a rootless container).
What would you guys suggest?

>>107732210
>What would you guys suggest?
If you just have a Samsung TV, then you need to do something else, which is easy and takes you only a few minutes to set up.

1. Install Kodi on your PC and set up the built-in DLNA server shown here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Services/UPnP_DLNA and point Kodi to your videos folder on your PC

2. Turn on you Samsung TV and look for the Kodi DLNA server. Now you can play all the videos from your PC's Kodi DLNA server on your TV.

OR

1. Install https://www.universalmediaserver.com/ and point it to your videos and set it up.

2. Turn on your Samsung TV and look for the Universal Media Server DLNA server and you can now play your PC's videos on your TV.

You can do either of these right now with little effort. Try it now.

>>107732210
You can't use Jellyfin. You're stuck on the TV. Buy an Android box or use your gay TV.
