>>106517195>from what I can find online the 255H is like 2 to 3 times better depending on the workloadyes, I followed this up with manual comparison using old school sites (notebookcheck) and it shows anywhere from 2x to 7x better. google AI is useless...thank you for all of that info! i have saved it. in light of the abysmal cpu performance, though, I may not go with the thinkpad. the i7 models are 400-500+ on ebay :(

I've had 3 pairs of IEMs so far. Moondrop Aria, Moondrop Chu 2 and Moondrop Space Traveler(1?). I like the sound of Aria and Chu, they're basically the same thing despite a completely different price range, not that big, but noticeable. Sadly, the quality of Aria is disastrous, they got some weird blisters underneath the paint coating in two places, also causing the paint to come off. The wireless ones sound like absolute shit but it's alright since I wasn't expecting anything else from them, I just needed a pair of earphones to use on public transport and occasionally at work.I'm looking for another pair to try out, I prefer something on the budget side. I just want to increase my point of reference of different sounding earphones, try some new things out. Which of the budget positions in the OP would be worth checking out?

>Monolyth retards think that microservices and the basics of cloud computing are a scam.Why would you hate having a decoupled and redundant infrastructure. That's like begging to be sued by one of those litigious retards that sign the 99.999% uptime contracts.
What causes the phenomenon of kids who clearly aren't programmers and don't even understand the question coming to forums and arguing about software architecture like it's some kind of brand war? It's like the drunks from my street suddenly had strong opinions about elliptic curve versus lattice based encryption.
Shitty CIOs pushed things to the cloud because it changes the conversation from>why is your shit downto>oh no Google is down can't be helpedThe better CIOs didn't really do this and they only leveraged clould where it was actually the best and most cost effective solution to a problem.Also don't forget the predatory pricing of the cloud providers back in the early years. They were selling this as a loss leader, burning money, knowing that once you collapsed your racks and paid them for 5 years you were up shit creek and they were free to renegotiate with you for big money. What are you going to do, spend 5 years of capex in 1? Good luck getting the board to sign off on that one.

>After almost five decades on air, the future of satellite TV remains uncertain beyond 2029 with broadcasters reluctant to commit to the platform for longer.A decision needs to be made within the next two years if satellite TV services from Sky and/or Freesat will continue. That’s because the current fleet of satellites are reaching their end of life dates and any replacement satellite needs to be commissioned at least three years in advance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KKmGGh1AxM

>>106516914Broadcasters WANT people to go to streaming because they get more profit from it. It's why they keep raising costs on cable providers.t. works at utility company soon to cancel their cable.

I'm a programming novice taking some online courses. The courses have moved off c, but i want to keep what I've learned sharp, so I'm writing an amateur string library for personal use. I made a linked list based function (properly frees all nodes after the linked list is transcribed into an array) that returns a pointer to a character array for dynamic string input and utilization back in main(). The array in main does need to be freed as well; put a reminder in the function docstring.Are there any known safety edge cases for a strategy like this? Does it generally make more sense to save all of the work and just initialize arrays with way more space than needed versus allowing for completely dynamic creation? It just annoys me that char arrays need to be fixed size at compile time, and I wanted to see if I could work around that for increased safety and interactivity.

>>106511308Probably an apple ifaggot
>>106511175there is basically no real use case for a linked list, it just happens to be the easiest resizable data structure to write in C
>>106517232I think the linked list is bad bullshit was promulgated by bjarne himself so it became popular (in favor of vector… have you seen the performance of realloc???). However, it’s bullshit.One day you’ll realize that the insane bloat from modern software is due to faddish trends like that.Much like object orientation itself is now coming to an end as one of the longest running fads.

>>106508841>AMD discontinue drive development for GCN or polaris and vega cards years ago>AMD still sold vega APUs in 2022>Nvidia 8 years later discontinue just gamer optimizer drives and newest version for CUDA or newest drivers but still support Maxwell and Pascal drivers for more yearsNvidia support for GPU drivers is like 12 to 15 years old until move to legacy and still you get security bug fixed for almost 20 years.
>>106512346It wasn't removed. It is 32-bit CUDA that were never written for Blackwell family because Nviida wants its professional crowd up upgrade and move from 32-bit platforms. It is too bad older implementations of PhysX depends on this and got impacted. There's nothing stopping Nviida or another party to create a translation layer if there is enough fuss about it. In practice, nobody really gives a crap outside of rage-baiting. All hardware vendors gradually abandon support for legacy platform and it is much more rapid if it doesn't involved enterprise customers a.k.a not silly gaymers.
>>106511975Nobody cares outside of rage-batting. It is entirely because Nvidia intentionally crippled their CPU-only PhyX implementation. Just to promote sales of their GPUs. Welcome to what the rest of people outside of Nvidia's ecosystem had to ensure.
