Got a month old SSD (samsung 870 evo) that I think started causing hard crashes (monitor goes blacks/audio plays for a bit then loops/bzzzzts), repeatable & program specific, stopped after I moved the suspect files to another ssd.I don't know that much about SSDs, can anyone tell me if this is an RMA situation, I thought ECC is supposed to auto correct or cause remapping, is the drive is just defective?
>>107850159>>Provider going bankrupt, or...?They're going to just offer 4G/5G wireless now. There are other ISPs that offer DOCSIS and VDSL, but no fibre for some reason. I looked into it a bit more and running a DOCSIS modem in a bridge mode could be an option.>See if your provider can give you just the media converter instead of a whole router.If they have something like this they don't offer it publicly, only router/modem boxes that cost 200€+
>>107850285I think if latency isn't an issue with you, you're better off with the wireless options compared to the alternatives...
I have two Wireguard configs from two different VPN providers, just as an example lets say Proton and Nord.Is it possible to do a multihop setup with the native Wireguard app that'd work basically like this:I connect to Proton's config, then using Proton's connection I connect to Nord's config so that my entire route looks like this:pc -> proton -> nord -> internetIs it possible to achieve this with the native wg app on Windws without doing some super technical setup like messing around with docker etc.
Is there a better/cooler way of toggling between projects in Visual Studio Code rather than closing and opening whole folders?

Writing scripts, doing research and so on. Sure, it doesn't generate perfect answers, but even being 90% correct saves a lot of time because I just have to finish remaining 10% instead of making it from scratch.Adapt or perish, in 90s nobody cared about boomers refusing to use computers either.

>Oh fuck yeah I'm going to install Bazzite straight away to run my favorite containers!! I'm literally so excited to run containers you guys, containers are my favorite software to use, God I fucking love containers.Why is this a selling point for an operating system? Who is actually outright ENTHUSED about containers when they could just be running regular bloat-free software?
Containers provide process (quit calling everything "app" you retarded mouth-breathers) segregation without the ridiculous overhead of full-blown virtualization. It's not ideal, but it's a huge advance compared to "program <just_trust_me_bro.exe> requires administrator access, Y/N?"What's still missing is a better file system. Tag-based seems the best option, but is not visually easy to convey.

>>107849865Other retard, not OP, but yeah, you miss out on essentially mixing your traffic.However, I did similar for a while back when I lived in Russia; I think, now, maybeee the filtering boxes technically are mandatory on all outbound traffic, but at least in the past, that wasn't the case. So I used to rent a cheap server in the city right next to me, and then inverted the government blocklist to generate V2Ray rules.It'd proxy only the banned stuff and obfuscate it in the process, then I'd still be able to access everything without almost any extra latency or raising suspicion unless someone decided to randomly check the the traffic out of the data center.

>>107848063That's cool, now, how should we improve the recipe? Make it more concentrated, reduce phosphoric acid (that shit rots your teeth) and sugar. You might be able to keep the same sugar/water ratio, but you can get the same flavor bomb with smaller sips, making it more like fine wine.

people are starting to forget that Windows actually was good a long time ago, it has been 13 long years
>>107821060All these fags that weren't alive back then I swear.Windows 3.xx was considered decent because that's all people really knew other than DOS back then. It did more than DOS and still allowed you to run your DOS shit without much trouble. So it wasn't outright hated.Windows 95 was shilled worldwide as revolutionary but was pretty hated due to constant BSoD problem. Win98 was the same but considered more tolerable because it had all the updates for Win95 bundled in (mostly USB support was all anyone cared about). The entire 9x series was considered horrible.Windows 2k was beloved because NT actually got decent by then. It still ran most of your Win 16/32-bit and DOS shit. Although, a lot of people (/v/ermin) cried about how it wouldn't run games despite never having used it.WinME was a huge joke and everyone thought it was shit. So many teenagers got stuck with shitty pre-builts when it came out. No idea why but at that time everyone was buying them for their children for the first time. No self respecting person wanted it. I made a lot of money installing Win2k for people back then.WinXP was considered a worse 2k and the GUI was laughed at by everyone. It didn't become tolerable until SP2 and most people only moved on from 2k because of Microsoft forcing people over. It also ate far more RAM and was never as stable.Vista was shit and widely hated like ME. Windows 7 was basically Vista with some bugs fixed so was in the same boat as 98. Most people preferred to stay on XP for good reasons.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>107846210kek
>>107821060I've probably used Windows 7 the most, simply because that's what was out while I was in high school and uni, but I don't actually have any memories of it in particular. It wasn't super good, and it wasn't dogshit, was just kinda basic and generic. I remember more of my dad using Win95, and I was only 4 by the time 98 came out.>>107821681>Windows 7 is not good. Its just not as bad as what came after.Kinda, yeah. It's a very 'alright' OS.
>>107821060I only remember that XP locked up frequently in the worst ways imaginable due to buggy software, requiring full power cycle. But it also ran the largest number of obscure indie games that don't work even on Windows 7
>>107846308no one liked windows 10 auto installing itself on their 7 system. i remember before 10 came out in the RC stages i had installed it on a thinkpad to testbed it and it would routinely uninstall the graphics driver due to "known compatibility issues" this continued into full release and it took years for Microsoft to stop uninstalling random shit on your computer for vague compatibility reasons, plus it was slow as shit and still is, you couldnt control updates, one of the major releases around 2018 just outright broke drivers and only kept a rollback feature for 10 days, most of the people who brought me their computers for these issues needed a whole reinstall, and guess what, your windows 7 product key that 10 upgraded itself with could not be used to reinstall 10, so the customer had the options of going back to 7 or if they actually liked 10, pirating it. Now my main local customers are people whos computers installed 11 on their own or bricked itself with windows update and they are more thrilled than ever to have LTSC installed. People come up to me in public and thank me that their computer isnt sitting at an update screen for 10 hours, no one did that for 8, no one did that for vista. 10 is only reflected positively upon because 11 doubled down on how shit it is
Vertical video is the norm now. All video is vertical now. People actively wish horizontal videos were vertical. They yearn for vertical video even when they're not circumstantially limited to it. A kid asked me to hold his phone and film him doing a trick at a skate park last week and when I held it in landscape mode he stopped me, took the phone, changed it to portrait and continued. Ten years ago vertical video was considered digital AIDS. It was to be avoided at all cost. Now it's the golden standard.
>>107850187we live in a world where we interact with things on the ground and not in the skywe dont need to capture the sky most of the time but rather what we are looking at and interacting with on ground levelfor that purpose horizontal is superior in almost every case
Start making square videos.
So alphies dont play vidya gaymes anymore?
>>107850277Widescreen does not just omit the sky, it omits significant parts of objects in the scene. In general, I have found that widescreen video crops objects more than vertical video.

looking for wired earbuds with USB C to use for samsung A54. I bought recently a cheap adapter for jack, but I straight up get a "no externals lmao", and when looking online it appears that not all earbuds work either. halp.
>>107849945Stop being a loser and buy wireless earbuds like everyone else
>>107849945MOONDROP CHU II are like 20 bucks on Aliexpress, just make sure it's the DSP Type-C variant and not the regular 3.5mm jack variant.

is there a media/file picker for android that seamlessly connects to other servers (like an ftp one), moving all my media on my phone to one seems like a good idea so its not taking up an enormous amount of space since its like 10 years of saved up imagesbonus points if it automatically moves off newly saved media to the server and automatically generates thumbnails and stuff
DLSS 4.5 on performance mode, is better than FSR4 on quality mode.It is over for AMD.Then if you add frame gen for minimum latency.The RTX 5050 can really btfo the RX 9070 XT.
>>107844050>add frame gen for minimum latency.nvidiots really are this stupid, no wonder this slop unironically works as marketing for them
>>107844050> a real game changerYes, it ends the game, AI upscaling is the death of 3d graphics.
>>107844050>AMDLiterally who?
>>107844050>Then if you add frame gen for minimum latency.What? Is this bait? FG is a meme, even when DLSS upscaling is actually good. >>107844131No, SSAA is best.
>>107846783>>107846855Just use Reflex to reduce latency. Now it's going to get even better with Reflex 2.0. Nvidia does actually develop and maintain their software suite, instead of shitting out a half-assed beta and then relying on muh open source to make it usable.

>>107850062I heard that alot of the effects in games rely on TAA blurring to hide the blemishes and forcefully taking it out fucks with the graphics. If DLSS replaces it, wouldnt it have to deliberately blur the dithering too? If so, it couldnt be that much better than TAA
>>107850158Compare native with TAA to DLSS.
>>107850158what? examples?
>>107848234Both are garbage blurry slop. Use actual anti-aliasing
>>107850435DLAA is only good when there's forced TAA. Otherwise 4k native solves aliasing.
wine IS an emulator tho
You're all wrong. Wine is just a Linux implementation of Windows libraries and APIs.
>>107845959Thats like saying virtualization is emulation.Wine emulates a compatible environment. It is an emulator.
Windows is an emulator emulating a Windows environment, you computer can't natively run Windows programs after all.
