hello, /g/oblinsI am passionate about free as in freedom software. I am seeking a coreboot-compatible laptop with modern/high specs which will remain high end for a few years, and preferably something that I can upgrade myself to save some money. The best I have found so far is the Clevo V560TU, which is a white label model that online retailers ship in various configurations. A barebones version with an Intel 255H is about $1300 from what I've seen, and it's upgradeable to 96GB RAM (though one site suggests it's 128GB), and it also has two nvme slots, which is a nice bonus. It sometimes comes with coreboot preinstalled (although I can do that myself if I find a cheaper config). Other benefits include an optional lower resolution screen (1920x1200 as opposed to 2k/4k) which is more compatible with some privacy respecting OS's, and there is an option to remove the webcam/mic entirely, which I appreciate. Who even uses those on laptops?Here is an example of this machine:https://laptopwithlinux.com/product/clevo-v560/Questions:- Why does this one state expandable up to 128GB RAM when most others I can find (same white label model?) are listed as 96?https://www.hidevolution.com/evoc-high-performance-systems-v5602b-v560tu-16-fhd-ultra-7-225h-intel-arc.html- Is this the best laptop for my purposes?- Why don't these seem to offer the 275HX? Isn't it the same socket? Only 1xx, 225h, and 255h for this specific model seem to be available.I found the above alternative on this page, which has some 275HX models--are any of them good for coreboot?https://www.hidevolution.com/laptops-1/gaming-enthusiast/evoc-clevoIs there a ThinkPad that does this but better or cheaper?
why doesn't anyone care about coreboot on /g/ anymore
It's fucking over.
>>106513814He's right. I love both piracy and ad blocking. Intellectual property has outlived any usefulness it might've had.
>>106513608Time to remove the Chromohomo too, then.
>>106514570>>106514863Tried both, and I prefer X.I don't remember why.
>>106513804Why are yours?
>>106513944>it's not slower!>it's your fault for not having more resources!so which is it?
ITT: We judge each other based on our internet speeds. I'll start.
>>106517537I blame the ping on my ISP-provided router. wifi speeds are pretty good since I replaced the original card with an AX210 (wifi 6E) on all my machines, because I'm renting and drilling holes for ethernet cables isn't allowed. even my home server has to run on wifi kek
>>106517556You can't use your own router?
>>106517600technically ISPs where I live "allow" it but nobody does it because they make it pretty difficult. the easiest I could do would be to connect an access point to the router and use that for wifi instead, but I never felt the need to honestly
if you have less than 250 just get starlink. The ping for it nowadays is phenomenal, less than 30 ms
>>106517618Yea fair enough, as long as you're not needing low loaded latency it wont matter too much.
Best PC case of the year
>>106515483Just teach your toddler not to touch it. I can't get my kids to stop putting their grubby fingers on my television, but they know they're not allowed to touch the computer. Sucks about the wife, I know the feeling.
>>106513306i wonder why modern cases no longer have the psu at the top, using it as an additional exhaust seems like a good idea
>>106513237Objectively wrong.
>>106515367Holy shit, I never saw this and need one.
>>106517586fear of it coming loose and hitting shit on the way down

>>106517419thanks anon :3 have a good day
Has anyone had any experience with Vivo phones? Are they decent?
>>106517372Get the F7. BF is just around the corner. It has a powerful SOC that will last you a good while.
>>106517612thank you but tis way out of my price limit :( i cant find it for less than $500
>>106517612f7 won't drop under 200 anytime soon
Buy a bunch of these shit 8 TB SSDs and put them in RAIDZ2 to get a silent NAS with lots of capacity while being protected against failure of up to 2 drives. Good or bad idea?
>>106513990Flash memory is a cartel.They are rigidly enforcing market segmentation between the consumer and enterprise spaces, and they are setting production targets to maintain a price floor in both of those segments.
>>106511354Literally just got two. They should arrive in a couple of days~ Total death to spinning rust!
>>106511437Talk like a person, you fucking zoomgroid
>>106511354Good idea, but also I agree with >>106511411 and >>106515361. This is a NAS so it doesn't have to live right next to you on top of your desk. It can easily be far away enough that you would never hear the HDDs. Hell, it's a NAS. You could get a slightly-larger-than-necessary case and put some cheap noise reduction foam in there if you really, really think you can hear the drives. Plus, since it's over a network, you're more likely to be limited by network latency and bandwidth, than by the speed difference between SATA SSDs and SATA HDDs.I would still go with the SSDs, because for most NAS workloads (file storage, not running a production database), even a cheap SSD's write durability will outlast an HDD's potential for mechanical failure. One word of warning for SSDs, if you are using an LSI card with breakout cables, be sure the models you get support DRAT and RZAT. Otherwise TRIM might not work. If you have a mobo with 8 SATA ports and that's all you use, it won't matter. But if you use PCIe cards there can be issues. Go google it and find people bitching about it to learn more.>>106511567>>106511508The workloads for a typical home NAS (media storage and occasional desktop/document backups), or even a small business that just keeps backups/records/archives there, SSD longevity won't be an issue. If OP needs to use it for like... fuck IDK, some multi-gigabyte database backup that gets naively written hourly instead of using some native sync process, yeah you might wear them down in a few years?As I said, OP would be fine with HDDs or SSDs because the network is going to be the bottleneck.
>>106511354Still expensive, at least 4x cost of hdd, and ethernet is gonna hold you up unless you're using 10 Gb gear or higher. Noise is nice benefit.
Did we lose the battle for piracy? Mangadex is dead. Libgen is dead. Z-lib is semi-dead. Annas is semi-dead. Kindle ripping is dead. Good streaming websites are dead. Good torrent websites are dead. Denuvo can't be cracked. One Piece is shit now. And now all countries are implementing real ID requirement to access the internet.
>>106515417>folgenheil hitler
>>106509857He means ripping OFF the Kindle store. .mobi is dead, you can't download them anymore.
>>106509816My ISP doesn't give a shit if you pirate just as long as you don't get 60+ tickets in a single day.They don't want to have to give out your info to rights holders, or even run the risk of it. Hell half of the people at the ISP probably pirate. Anybody in tech does unless they're a little bitch.
1337x still works its just that the search function on the website no longer seems to work. I literally try searching for certain things and get told "bad search request" only to literally just search "1337x " followed by whatever it was i was looking for on duckduckgo and find it. Anyone have any way to fix this, or, a better torrent site?
>>106512532Of course it's Japanese manga, I only read japanese made shit.
What if I went back to 1992 with an ipad and it wasn't a secret? What would happen?would steve jobs be able to lay claim to its secrets?

Do you practice proper opsock to protect yourself from the NSA?
reminder that there's a story about how they got someone because he unlocked his phone while in an elevator and they used that footage to unlock his phone.if you're a wanted man this stuff seems practical.
>>106515676lmao holy shit that picture

Surely this can't last forever right? Seniors are retiring out of the market, juniors can't get their foot in the door and even if they do, they don't want to move up the ladder because they are happy to have a job, H1Bs are making the overall architecture and infrastructure worse and AI integration is backfiring hard on certain aspects.It's either course correction or everything going to shit.
>>106517343its the crypto bubble except this time it touches actual products instead of being just financial instrumentsonce we start seeing AI powered bathroom sinks we can safely say it's over
>>106517326>>106517337>>106517075>>106517132The previous hot take was "Years experience with the tech stack aren't enough anymore, we want to know what impact your work had on the business"I don't fucking know, some clown asks me for something and I make it for them. BAs are meant to be the ones that measure the business impact and they very rarely feed that back to me.But yeah it does seem they've gone back to the "you need an active github" lark
>>106517343It's weird how mid level basically doesn't exist any moreI'm seeing a few grad/junior jobs again, but nothing for someone with a few years general experience without a particular expertise.Every job wants a senior lead that can spearhead their digital transformation.
What are you maids working on?Last one: >>106482423
>>106514209if you want to work as a professional programmer you will inevitably be asked to host something and you will want to host it on linux. but it's not something you need to learn right away.
>>106517418>have you guys tried to use clanker agents?I have talked to them and asked them stupid questions before running locally on ollama, I don't think I would use it for code, the whole point of everyone saying a million times "you can to build projects not just read" is so you learn, if the robots write it for me I am not learning, i am just producing
>>106517418No.
>>106517547lmao this is like hiring men straight from india

ChatGPT, generate me a 4channel website where the users aren't retarded.
>>106517568Sure. There are 3 channels in 4 channel.
Look at that. Konqi. The KDE mascot.The green is playful but not too loud. The scarf is tasteful, vivid, a bold stroke of red.Notice the horns. Subtle, angular, catching the light with a clean, deliberate edge.And the box filled with KDE tools, paintbrush, stickers, the whole arsenal. Immaculately arranged, not a single element out of place.It’s not just a mascot. It’s perfection.
