>>107826073Just wait for the Asus range in like a month.
>G-Sync PulsarIPS only for now. Has anyone on this general actually tried it?I remember trying ULMB a while back and it gave me a headache so I never wanted to try it again.
>>107826097dyac and dyac+ on zowie screens is black magic for motion clarity but you have to use a tn screen which sucks balls.
>>107826092>why does everyone compare the new thing to the old thing and talk about how much better the new thing is than the old thing? >Obviously that means the old thing was always bad the entire timeare you retarded?
>>107826110>dyac and dyac+ / ulmb and elmbare all dogwater for games that isn't CSGOframes need to be equal to refresh rate at all times or it doesn't work
It's going to be buggy and slow isn't it
>>107825420What the fuck else could it be in this shitty day and age.Even if you do release your own platform, you'll need to also maintain Android compat like the later Blackberries had to do.
>>107821128>Mediatek MT8873Where are you getting that info from?
>>107825695As somebody who owned Titan 1 and now uses Titan 2:1. Fucking MediaTek.2. Shitty camera.3. BlackBerry-esque keyboard scrolling does not really work except for a few select apps. I mean, it works, but you will get ghost taps and weird scrolling issues.4. Stock software keyboard sucks, good keyboards from T1 don't work on T2. I had to patch ASK manually do get something that works well.5. The second screen is a useless gimmick.Still better than no HW keyboard though.
>>107821347It's a stand alone phone. They just fucked up their marketing. What do you expect from a company whose CEO is Adrian Li Mow Ching who ran F(X)tec that made the colossal broken promises failure that was the F(X)tec Pro 1X.
>>107825855>Adrian Li Mow Ching who ran F(X)tecIt's really the same guy?Holy fuck Fxtec was a massive disappointment. I have my original Pro1 sitting on a shelf and it really is a shame that for as amazing as the hardware was, the company did made less than zero effort to actually support it. I still don't understand why they decided to abandon the original and do the 1X. With that in mind, the Clicks Communicator is dead on arrival to me. Their little attachable keyboard accessory is more interesting than their phone, because there's no way in hell they'll support it for more than a year.
Some I'm thinking of:>Monitor panels>Fiber optics>Radio receivers and transmitters>LEDs>Batteries>Plastic, glass, paper, rubber, silicon>Capacitors, transformers, switches>Solar panels>Shipping containers>Fertilizer>WaterIt would be pretty weird if in 2026 we got a new global supply chain issue huh

With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.
>>107825275windows suckslinux sucksmac is the way
if you willingly buy apple products ur dumbu literally cant even play minecraft. like they say u can but it runs like ass
>>107819750>>107824689
>>107814412this comes from someone who is autistic and is distro hoping on macbook, I have both 2013 mbp and 2015 macbook pro, 8gb of ram is not enough even if mac os have better swap management [it won't rape your ssd, this is not 2010] you can try anything with i7 and dedicated gpu and 16gb of ram and it will be still cheap and good in 2026, from my experience big sur is the best to stay on, it's technically heavy on 2013 machines, but it seems to be more optimized for M chips and last truly lightweight for intel 2015+1.buy 2015 pro mac with amd as they are cheap, it will be your testing ground for like 300$ or lower2. use big sur and search for software versions compatible with it3. if battery is good, use app tamer, endurance to force low power mode and you should get like 7 hours on battery or more depends on battery health4. safari from big sur is just as good as any other browser, epsecially for battery5. grok will give you simple terminal command to make bootable usb for fresh install, it's always better6. time machine backup works like a magic with compatible OS so it''s worth but need it allow nuke your usb drive for new file format7. you use system for like 3 days non stop and allow it to settle for the nights, then you do backup with time machine8. pirating on mac os is just copying pre-cracked software from sites like haxmac cc or filecr or torrentmac net as I type this from safari my mbp 2015 runs cool and silent with app tamer and this endurance app, overall it's fucking worth it, once you realize you have everything you need including extremely easy windows dual boot [you download iso, let bootcamp do stuff in the background and you reboot and in 3 minutes or 5 you are ready, fucking ridiculous] you will never comeback to other laptop brand unless it's worth it, with intel macbooks you have like 3 OS in 1 mind you,partitioning sucks, so you need install stuff in the right order or it won't allow you regain space to the main partition
>>107814412it's okay. not as good as windows, but not as bad as linux
windows 11 is bloa...
>>107825934so.. whats real "computing" for you?>>107824289is that btop? would be nice if htop had that power info for cpu.
>>107825990>so.. whats real "computing" for you?you literally just proved my point LOL. you're a gamer, right?
>>107814300and debian with mate uses 700mb
>>107826021no, i dont play gaymes. i use my pc mostly for handling emails, browsing, archival, video-music-image-doc editing, torrenting and sometimes chat, i try to learn new things using it too, very fun. what you do differently?
>>107826109wait, so do you think everyone on the planet does the same exact things that you do? and thus you can't comprehend anything different?
Are you getting a Plebble?
>>107824382No, because it's too expensive.
>>107824795>Mine has a fidget spinner!???
>>107825247Just stop being poor. Easy!>>107825247
>>107824665retard
>>107824718You’re right, I’ve used an Apple watch on and off for years, but finally decided to just wear my regular watch. The health metrics are meaningless if you don’t need the gamification to force yourself to move. On top of that the notifications are distracting and the thing looks tasteless. BUT I do think the pebble is more marketed as a tinkerwatch with all the watchfaces and such. Open source OS etc. Not really a fitness device.
Why did /g/ stop being anti-systemd?
>>107825214Pulseaudio was better than using only ALSA. But ever since pipewire was released I don't see any reason to stick to pulseaudio, other than if you are using a 5 year old stable distro, without it in the repos.Pipewire has it's own protocol, and supports both pulseaudio and jack sources. One feature I feature I can't live without is the way you can just connect audio inputs and outputs with programs like qjackctl.
Who cares about a fucking init system, like come on. I just use the easiest linux distro (Fedora) to watch anime, make stuff, do my job and run my gaymes inside a linux vm. I couldn't care less if Fedora used systemd, SysVinit, s6 etc.>insert the erotic games 2ch post dot jpeg
>>107825214i remember pulseaudio having issues. pipewire for me has had none.also linux had issues liek fuckin crazy before systemd. anti systemd posters are the arch linux fatso meme. i dont want to spend tens of hours a week configuring my distro i just want the shit to work
neets don't like it when things actually work and don't need manual tinkering because now they're lost and don't know what to do
>>107817360It works but it does too much. If systemd was just an init system + service manager, I'd probably use it. It's admittedly pretty good at that. But overall systemd is a big suite of software haphazardly thrown together in the same git repo for questionable reasons. Lots of components should really be totally separate programs and not tightly within the systemd monolith (inb4 someone says it has a gazillion binaries so of course it's modular).

>>107825358You can be all cynical and bitter you want but no mutt I live in a country where our antitrust laws haven't yet been effictively erased by decades of anti-consumer lobbying, public outcry often results in tangible outcomes not just aggresive refusal from my government like in the US
I'd pay for a streaming service if it could bring me the same quality as what I'm torrenting, which is high bitrate high resolution shows. I don't particularly enjoy having to seed shit to inflate my ratio so I don't get kicked out of platform.

What are you working on, /g/?Previous: >>107779804
>>107822402Second if they fit on my screen. First if they don't.
>>107825729Rust, C++ or C if you want best performance and potential JIT. But in general it doesn't matter, you can emulate anything in anything.
>>107825858>you can emulate anything in anythingclassic tranny post, "you can be any gender you want"
>>107824219Not sure who will be the obvious woman to move on to. Margaret Hamilton has very dubious accomplishments that don't stand up to scrutiny, so she's out. Carol Shaw's accomplishment is one video game. From there, things become even more mundane. Maybe some Indian woman whose "accomplishments" can't be verified?
Apparently bitshifting a char by 8 bits is UB so now I have to add special case to check if argument is 0.Thanks C standard committee. Bitshifting a byte by 8 should be 0 not UB, makes perfect sense in my head.

Back in 1994 I saw one of these sons of bitches in a national TV studio where I was doing an internship. It was a huge deal for me as this was in bumfuck Eastern Europe a little while after my country kicked out the commie retards. Everyone and everything was poor as fuck so seeing one of these made my eyes water and made me feel like we're all gonna make it. The experience was surreal. The IT guys let me see a couple of demos, seeing IRIX do its thing live was the experience that single-handedly absolutely cemented my life's trajectory in dealing with IT, programming, sysadmin stuff. Fuck I'm old. Fuck I miss IRIX. Too bad the only thing truly close to what IRIX was back then is MacOS.
>>107824686what am I looking at here?
>>107824719A Silicon Graphics Indigo. They were true beasts in their time. They ran IRIX which was a SysV UNIX variant. They specialised in graphics and pioneered many technologies like IRIS GL which later became OpenGL. They were immensely expensive, which is why the experience was so surreal to me.
>>107824686>Too bad the only thing truly close to what IRIX was back then is MacOS.Have you ever looked at Haiku? I've always thought it seemed quite similar. macOS doesn't really have much in common with IRIX aside from being a commercial Unix(-like).
>>107825731I think they’re quite similar both functional, being proprietary Unix that is tightly coupled and suited for the hardware it runs in, but also philosophically with aesthetic coherence and the uses it’s made for. They’re both great at 3D art, scientific visualisation, development, media production etc. at least that’s my reasoning. That said irix was way more open and definitely assumed experienced admins instead of dumdum influencers and niggers which is why I think it’s a shame Mac is the only premium Unix available.
Were CRTs really that much better than the displays of today?>tfw Björk knows more about technology than /g/https://youtube.com/watch?v=75WFTHpOw8Y
>>107825869>the CRT TV's were as large as it was feasible to make.No shit, but the size was small anywaysMost people had 13-20 inch CRTs and didn't care, especially since the bigger CRTs were way too heavyYou're wrong about the restMost people just like today didn't care, they bought the cheapest thing they could find to watch shit on itSure they prioritized the known brands but their concern was getting a well built TV that will last them, it wasn't about video qualityNowadays small TVs are pretty much non-existent, and the content is designed around these behemothsSo normal people now watch stuff on their smartphones, and TVs are mostly bought by retarded enthusiasts Don't be delusional, it was an entirely different time back in the day
>>107825943Honestly 13 inch is pretty for your eyes.19-21 inch is good enough for a single person, 27-32 for 2-3 i guessI say that while having both type, and i can guarantee you that watching a movie on a smaller screen that flicker will give you headache meanwhile you are pain/eye strain free on an OLED ...
>>107825939CRT motion is dependent on the phosphor persistence TVYou can find consumer CRT TVs with 1ms persistence and also ones with 5ms persistence(roughly 200fps equivalent motion)Most PC CRT monitors from late 90s were 1ms(to combat burnin)Flicker was worse in lower refresh rates depending on how short the persistence was, so it was a trade-off between better motion and less flicker. But the public at large never was in the know about these things back then.
>>107826003>and i can guarantee you that watching a movie on a smaller screen that flicker will give you headacheNah, never was a problemI watched movies on a 50hz PAL 20 inch CRT when I was a kidWhen we used to see those blacks bars we used to say ''it's kino time'' Most people watched at a reasonable differenceBut many TV sets had slower phosphors(for example many NTSC tvs had 4ms phosphor and PAL TVs had 5ms phosphor) so the flicker wasn't that bad on thoseWhat I was getting at was there was a time when TV shows were filmed with standard 13-20 inch 4:3 CRTs in mindThat was a simple comfy experience which is now dead and unfortunately never coming back for those of us who have fond memories of those days Those days were over when you could no longer read the text on Dead Rising on CRTs because they made the text too small
