Funny, I was super excited setting up my MacBook. I've also had loads of fun setting up a FreeBSD system.Linux is just mundane, sometimes frustrating.If I had to install a Windows now after 10 years of not doing so, I'd just be sad.I get you anon, it's nice to be excited about technology. Last MacOS update didn't evoke any positive emotion in me either. It kind of sucked.
>>107559373I'd say the Windows 95 launch was more culturally significant.
>>107559426>wintrash was always turboshit on releaseThis. People forget how fast hardware was moving in the 90's still. A 2-3 year old computer was basically worthless, new OS meant you needed a whole new computer. Trying to install it on your old one was a hateful experience. That level of hardware velocity hasn't been the case in over a decade. I think the only genuinely crap consumer Windows release was Win8. No one talks about it. And maybe Win CE. >>107559427lol>>107559458Querying LLMs like ChatGPT has massively lowered the headache of dealing w/ Linux systems.
>>107559373Windows licenses used to be Microsoft's bread and butter, and they made Windows good enough that they captured 95% of the market, then everyone had a version of Windows that did everything they needed already, so Microsoft started fixing what wasn't broken and forcing people to upgrade to newer versions of Windows whenever and wherever possible.Then you had multiple versions of Windows competing with each other, and the end result was MS losing the fight and supporting multiple OSes a decade beyond the time they officially stopped selling them. It's in their interest to make as much money from Windows as possible and keep its market share as high as possible. They know the only way to get people to move to the Windows they want them to be on is to give it out free and sell data. They make far more money with stuff like SaaS subscriptions, Azure, and cloud services now.
XP was the first version with ".net passports" the prototype of Microsoft Accounts, it was only for MSN messenger at first but the modern account framework descends from it.

My dad's old amp from the 70s I've been using for ages has died so it's time for a replacement. My setup's been unchanged since he set it up for me like 15 years ago so forgive my ignorance.Basically all that's going out of the amp is 2 stereo speakers and a subwoofer, and all that's going in is a turntable and a line in. Are the 3 'speaker amps' recommended in the OP good enough? or not enough? Any alternatives?Extra info: EU based, budget is 500€ max but i'd rather keep it about 300€ (though if you tell me there's a great 100€ one I'll take it)
>>107561312Technically, an open box HE400SE is under 100 bucks when available. Don't think you're getting anything else with comparable distortion and bass response out of anything else in that price range, even if the build quality is shit.
>>107561312Headphones need good furniture to have good bass extension, and that means $$$. But yeah probably chinkfiman.
>>107561364I mean, in theory lower impedance is harder to drive, but in reality amps that can simply grunt through are pretty cheap now.

>>107508673Grab a liveusb linux distro and tpacpi-bat, then type 'sudo tpacpi-bat -s IC 1 0' I ran into this same issue with my t14s where the internal battery was detected, it would detect the AC charger, the orange light came on, but the battery percentage stayed low. It turns out that the seller had done something to calibrate the battery by turning on Forced Discharge and Inhibit Charging, so that it would discharge even when plugged in, but he didn't disable those settings before shipping it out. Though I'm not sure those settings save through OS installs so that may not be your issue (this one came with Fedora 43 workstation pre-installed) I've since replaced the SSD and installed omarchy and verified forced discharge and Inhibit Charging are both off with 'tlp-bat -b' but i guess it wouldn't hurt to check, right? Just in case the batteries have some kind of flash memory where those states are stored
>>107555513x220 and as someone else said a modded x230 are basically the most modern classic keyboard thinkpads you can get. However if you wish to actually use it for regular computing tasks even these are kinda on their way out. Someone on their librebooted x200 will say that that is not true and it is important that you disregard that person.
>>107515028Doesn't matter. USB-C has a chip built in that handles is. USB-C will only pull as much voltage as it can safely handle. I charge my Thinkpad on 45w phone charger all the time when I'm not at home or the office (I have an OEM 65W charger in both places but keep a 2 port "90W charger" in my laptop bag - it's really just 45W each port, but legally they can call it 90W because it does provide 90W at one time, just not to a single device - and it works great so long as I'm not under max load in performance mode with backlight cranked to 100%
>>107561325>USB-C has a chip built in that handles is>USB 2
>>107561325Even if your phone charge with 45W it doesn't supply proper voltage.

>>107556418Japan continued WW2 because Hirohito was an autistic scholar more Interesting in studying than actually ruling. He literally left entire country to be run by his advisors and generals that were happy to continue wars because as high-ranking military personnel, entire budget for war was funneled through them. Japanese population is very class-based, rule-abiding and just happy to do their job so nobody was willing to raise stink when they were slowly starved to death just to continue fights.It's exactly why the two nukes from USA were kind of a blessing for Japanese population - this opened Hirohito's eyes to the fact that Japan was in fucking ruin and there was no way that they could resist third nuke and bloody ass invasion.

The best and brightest C programmers agree: Rust belongs in the Linux kernel!https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/This board tries it's best to portray C and Rust as polar opposites, but in the end they serve the same purpose. Good C programmers have always respected Rust programmers and vice versa. Only the fizzbuzzers and jeets want a language war between C and Rust.Why do they want it? Because if you split the systems language ecosystem, there will be less competition to their electron/react garbage (see Windows 11 start menu)Everyone except Indians agrees that anything written in Rust or C is much better than electron garbage. That is why it is important to be friends and allies, not enemies

I guess everyone is feeling like the world is about to collapse and copes by predicting everyone else will collapse first. I guess you could even extend this to people on this board saying AI will automate job of someone else before them.
