Now that graphics cards have played outWhat did you end up with as your forever card?
I could probably stick with this 5070ti forever but I yearn for 4k and to max sliders. We'll see if I can get my hands on a 6090 on release, if not I can stay at 1440p for a while longer.
>>107810464im not a cultist or anything i just buy stuff on deals
>>107810438just curious: why do you flip flop between budget/high end so much?do the budget cards belong to a separate living room computer or something like that?
i have a 5090 and two 3090s, sold the older ones off
>>107810537i use budget cards cause i dont need high end, i just buy stuff when i find a good deal and sell eventually

In 8 years, OpenAI will use 50% of the US's total electricity generate.This isn't factoring the amount of GPUs they'd be purchasing, nor the fresh clean water they'd need to cool the GPUs powering their data centers.USA's electricity generation has stagnated for the past 30 years despite a rise in population.How much do you imagine your electricity bill to be by 2033?

Before I give up and buy a System76 laptop, is there a screen mod for the T420 that replaces the LCD panel with something more modern that doesn't suck? The ThinkWiki article on the subject hasn't been updated in 10 years so I wonder if there's any newer information.For portable computing I don't need a more powerful CPU or anything, so fixing the screen and battery would be enough to keep the ThinkPad in service.
>>107788922>I unironically think it's going to get more valuable the way things are headedits a t series thinkpad anon. the only chinkpads that have risen in value are x230s, and that is because theyre getting rare + the form factor is no longer produced

For the first time in a long time, learning/working is fun again.
>>107801840I take hand written notes, but on a tablet (remarkable 2 because I like that my tablet doesn't have distractions like a web browser or anything). I haven't noticed any real difference from having 100 billion notebooks vs taking my handwritten notes on a tablet.
>>107807819Do you think your LLM won't have that problem? The LLM is "learning" to mimick the books. If the book sources are wrong, the LLM will also be wrong if it was trained on that incorrect book.

>>107801565I ask brave search AI questions. Sometimes it's helpful, but it's 50/50. I fucked my system up by listening to it when I was trying to get hardware acceleration working and had to restore. Don't listen to AI when it starts referring to the kernelI treat it like an enhanced search engine. It's good for retrieving info and saves time. But do not take advice from it. You still have to do the work, you can't just let it hand hold you to solve something

>>107809791I love this.It makes it easy for me to know what companies to avoid. Copilot really is helpful.
Why? What is this even for? No seriously, even considering the current AI space, what the fuck even is this???
>>107809810Microsoft asked for this because the pajeets who run it right now are debilitatingly autistic.
>>107810311It's probably because the technology is useful elsewhere so they have a reason to develop it but it's either not directly profitable but very useful to powers that be or not currently profitable and ramping up, so they're trying to pawn the costs off onto the average person or make an extra buck.
>>107810475In all likelihood they're trying to have normies recoup the cost for it as it has uses to them that aren't useful to a regular person. At this point they're shitting themselves that people just aren't interested and the Microslop thing bothering the CEO to the point of nearly crying means things are really bad.

is there any support in vim to save multiple tabs into a single formatted file, or is that asking too much of my beloved text editor.i might write a plugin if not.

i learned about it recently and it seems quite cool, but i don't even know if i would need it. i'm not a researcher or a writer, i just have a very overactive internal monologue (sometimes i can kinda space out and live in my head) and i want to be able to form a personal "knowledge base" to organize my interests/values/things ive learned/even just things i need to do. what do you use it for? or is it just one of those things where people use it for a week and then forget about it forever?
>>107801238I use it for organizing worldbuilding notes and TTRPG rules. Being able to link between notes is nice for those projects, but if you don't have a use for that then you're probably better off with any old text editor.
>>107801238>is it just one of those things where people use it for a week and then forget about it forever?Probably, but that's true of most habit changes and self-improvement projects. That's how people are.>i want to be able to form a personal "knowledge base" to organize my interests/values/things ive learned/even just things i need to do.My advice is to start with simple tools (like a physical notebook or plain-text files). If those notes become a big part of your life after a few months, think about converting to a more sophisticated tool.
>>107808887Only if you wanted it to be.

I dislike the lack of a native way to handle markdown that is outside of the vault. Ideally I could just one off edit markdown files or even link markdown files that are part of separate project files but connected like cousins or something.
Use NixOSUse FlakesIt's Linux, but perfected.
>>107810242>Flatpaks are really only useful if it is an application that never needs to interact with anything else.ie: most applications
>>107800119Guix, close enough>>107801668Weirdly true, I know Gentoo users who are scared of slackware and consider it to be harder
>>107810259>I know Gentoo users who are scared of slackware and consider it to be hardernta but I used slackware for years. it is NOT harder than Gentoo, not even close. Slack's installation is harder than something like Fedora's automated install, but no where near as hard as something like Arch's manual install. Using slack is just "run of the mill." What makes it "hard" - and I put that word in quotes for a reason - is its out of date / out of touch dependency management. there is no package manager to tell you what dependencies are missing, so you have to painstakingly track them down.which is really moronic in 2026. the slacker community acts like this some badge of honor or something when you waste 4 hours of day trying to get steam working. also, it's poorly managed now. I mean really poorly managed.it was one of the very first distros to hit the "mainstream" and back then it was pretty amazing (for its time). Now? it's a mess, it's a dead distro that hasn't realized it's dead yet.Gentoo is a 100x harder than Slackware.
>>107810404In my case, its not that Ive used Slackware extensively, but Ive come to the very same conclusion based on the little Ive experienced and reading the complaints of the same people who claim its complicated to useI imagine most people use "hard" as a synonym for "insufferable, annoying to use"
>>107810490>I imagine most people use "hard" as a synonym for "insufferable, annoying to use"I think that hits the nail on the head. It is unnecessarily insufferable. They... well HE.... primarily Patrick Volkerding, could easily just include flatpak in the distro and set up, or even let the user direct it to flathub, but he/they won't even do that. And, try installing flatpak, it's a disaster. The white beard fucks who swear by it, just don't understand that people don't have time for that shit these days. They'll tell you it's "learning Linux." No, no it's not. Installing Arch, installing LFS, installing Gentoo is how you LEARN Linux. Wasting time googling for what libraries this or that program needs is not learning Linux - it's merely wasting your time.Slackware COULD be somewhat magical if the maintainer would pull his head out of his ass.
