>>107704000>I'm guessing closer to $300 with couponsCorrect, although it was a big coupon for a $700 total with other stuff.If you're not gaming on your phone midrange SoC are good enough, you can get at least 256GB of storage 8GB of ram, NFC, OLED, eSIM, 5000mAh battery, 5G, wifi 6, etc...If anything you get less stuff with pricier phones like 3.5mm jacks and sd card slots are missing on all highend phones.
>>107706559Iranian here, these are actually extremely cheap and basic "entry level" stuff

I was drunk at 3am and my computer speakers broke, so I bought this+2x50w bluetooth amplifier and power source thinking that I'm genius saving lots of money.The issue is that I woke up and I have no idea what did i buy, is this just subwoofer and i need 2x 3way crossover+tweeter and midrange now?Or is it actually what it says in first words and it is full range and i do not need to spend 3x more money now to make it work. I never made speakers before so I can not tell by just looking at them. If you do not want to go to the link, the item does say "AIYIMA 2Pcs 2 Inch 4Ohm 5W hifi Full Range Speaker Mini Woofer Speakers Audio Subwoofer Loudspeaker Home Threater DIY" If it is just subwoofer, do i need tweeter and 2 2 way crossovers (if i want to be cheap) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32762083515.htmlNow looking at the pc version of the webpage it does also say: With a standard mode sound mode and a two-way audio crossover, these speakers deliver a crisp and balanced sound across a wide range of frequenciesNot really clearing up anything for me.I'll make the shell out of solid wood that is gonna be easy but I'm confused as to what do i need when it comes to components, thanks for helping me out.
>>107707157>buying the molds after they've ran through making thousands of them and they get worn out and then using them to make low quality versions?I would go with this one, Turks are doing something similar with their copy of MP5s, HK had factory there but they left machines most likely.
You are not a software "engineer", you are a glorified typing monkey.You are not "engineering" anything, you are just copy pasting the nonsense of another much smarter typing monkey.
>>107707784>>107707537How can you NOT pop a boner?How?
>>107707537Glad we got that one cleared up OP
>>107707537>You are not a software "engineer"There is no such thing as a software engineer. I'm a programmer.>you are just copy pasting the nonsense of anotherWrong. I program things I have never seen anyone else do before.
>>107709954>There is no such thing as a software engineer. I'm a programmer.Software engineering and programming are overlapping but not identical concepts. Software engineering considers applying theory to the development of software, which involves more aspects than just writing code. A programmer is someone who just writes code. A software engineer is someone who applies software engineering principles to the creation and integration of software. Software is an important part of many complex systems, and if you've never had to consider engineering principles while developing software, it is likely that you've just never worked on a critical system where correctness is critical.
>>107710005>Software engineering and programming are overlapping but not identical conceptsThe overlap between something and nothing is nothing.>A software engineer is someone who applies software engineering principles>software engineering principlesThere is no such thing. Your cargo cult practices and the ideological tenets behind them are not engineering principles.
Am I retarded or a genius? Gonna hook it up to an external monitor and unironically install Gentoo on it.
looks pretty cool, name?
>>107709926thos keyboards are to tiny they could have made it a little bigger and with a none standard keyboard layout but with regular sized keys.Also its to big for just thumb usage
>>107709936Goes under many names on different sites but one is the Topo 7 inch. Can pretty much do everything but you gotta use an external keyboard and an external monitor to make a poor man's desktop. The biggest pain in the ass is the built in keyboard, your BMI has to be like 20 to have a good typing experience.
>>107709926If you didn't buy a win gpd then you're retarded, the micro pc 2 just came out.
>>107709979This isn't for gayming this is for actual productive Linux workflows. I did test it out with gaming real quick using EndevourOS + Wine and anything prior to 2010 it can run reasonably well, but anything beyond 2015 is going to be a shitty experience. This isn't as bulky as the GPDs and it resembles a normal scaled down laptop without the gaymer aesthetic.The one thing that GPD smashes this for is obviously gaming, but GPD has thunderbolt 3 so you can use an eGPU, which makes it decent for gaming.

>>107708762This is the best way but I would like to not plan ahead and just throw a disk and watch it without waiting 20-30minutes.But the ripping works well.
>>107708706i've never watched a bluray disc. not because i'm too young, i remember reading news about bluray a couple years before it came out, including the pre-bluray professional format that came in caddies. but by the time bluray was old enough to be affordable, and people had HD TV's to take advantage of it, streaming was starting to take off, and internet speeds were getting faster, and hdd's were getting much bigger.point being that while dvd's were the way to watch and store movies, the same didn't happen for blurays. i can only speak for myself and as a pirate, but while i rented and borrowed lots of dvd's and had 100-disc spindles worth of burned dvd's, by the time i moved to HD stuff, i was exclusively just downloading rips. i was excited for 25/50GB discs before they came out, but by the time i could afford them hdd's were so much bigger that i just didn't bother.i think this is the case for a lot of people, they just moved from dvd straight to streaming/internet downloading, so there wasn't as much effort put into bluray support over dvd support. that and dvd protection is just weaker, once dvd's css was broken it was over for dvd, while bluray's encryption is more complicated. perhaps someone with an affliction for physical media has a solution for you, but these days i just use a nas

>>107701859Thinkpads are still great. It is modern but has some retro aesthetics. I’m not talking about the latest ones here.
>>107709972It defeats the purpose of extreme portability. 1.5kg means that you won't bring it everywhere just in case and you can't carry it in a coat pocket. And if you need a bag anyway it's way more useful to have a normal laptop.

what are some alternatives to OLEDI can afford top range OLED but I cannot afford to change it every 2-3 years, I mean I can but I would find that wasteful.It will used connected to a PC because fuck Smart TV, all I care about is a good panel.was considering TCL but they have half the dimming zones in EU compared to the US
>>107704725>poojoosYou mean Indian Hindu rape rats? It never stops amazing me how you niggers call jews jews, Muslims Muslims, but you will come up with every kind of name to avoid naming the Indian Hindu rape rat- which in turn will prevent normies from identifying and stopping those cockroaches.
>>107704792Nah there are some really shit ones out thereThe bare minimum is the 7 series TCL
Also they're gonna start making 4K RGB OLED panels soon for the monitor market.

Alright well since firefox is doubling down on implementing ai in their browser and theyre completely ignoring their user base professing how they dont want it. Which is the better fork of firefox to flee to? Im considering waterfox or librewolf since both are likely not to implement the new aislop bloat. Recently heard about this floorp browser too but its new to me and idk anything about it. Plus the name sounds gay as fuck which is the only reason im suspicious of it, the name alone already sounds like its begging to be abandoned but thats just my surface level take
>>107703174>That doesnt get rid of the ai code built into the browserNeither do all these Firefox "forks" you absolute fucking moron. Librewolf, Zen, Waterfox and all these other retarded "forks" just preconfigure Firefox for you using Firefox policies and user.js files. None of these "forks" are doing any coding related stuff. At least get your facts correct. They shouldn't even be called "forks" at all. They are flavours. Distributions of Firefox. Not forks. If Firefox rolled over and died tomorrow, none of these "forks" would be able to do shit.
>>107707423this. I've been using firefox since 1.5 and 1 of 3 update has been bad news for the last 34654564 years.at this point I'm just waiting for ladybird.

New version is out. Also, why was my previous thread deleted? This is a software-based application explicitly engineered for operation within the computational and telecommunications framework of a handheld mobile device, ok? It is therefore unambiguously situated within the broader domain of contemporary technological systems, infrastructures, and applied digital sciences, and as such relevant to /g/.

Got a t440p from around 2016, I see the WLAN in a slot similar to a m.2, there is a other m.2 there, would a SSD work there? Also there are 2 cables and the WLAN has then soldered in, would I have to the the same with an SSD?
>>107708636Yes, It's really nice to have a portable/ultraportable thinkpad with a big SSD and two external backup drives.But if you need a more powerful gpu (GTX3050 or stronger) It's a no-go.

>buying RTX 4060 in 2026Good thing 50 and 60 are getting dropped by Nvidia, they are nothing but e-waste that struggles to handle newer titles. 5070 should be the minimum
>>107709359they struggle because the games are made with unity or unreal which are both unoptimized resource hogs, even when the devs fork and customize them

>>107708038but now you have stupid vimscript and lua configs? try to remember too, elisp is not just for config files. it feels like that in practice but most of the core functionality of the editor is in elisp.vimscript was always an obvious abomination, neovim is going the right way by moving away from it.. but to lua?? it will never reach the coherence and extensibility and mutability that emacs has always had.
>>107708038You should do a deep dive into Elisp to get to know it. Despite its age, it has some nice parts too.https://protesilaos.com/emacs/emacs-lisp-elementshttps://github.com/protesilaos/emacs-lisp-elements
