>>107614426windows and macos probably could hold up much longer than the linux if you can disable the automatics updoots, because you can still install and update 3rd party software (outside of appimages and such) on it without restart unlike loonix where you must updoot all at once to install sometime and it eventually can't do some things due to kernel update
>>107614443i don't know about mint, i use mxbeen using the same install for cca five years now, literally never had a single problem even for a second and it works as well as it did the first dayin fact it's so good i skipped 2 major versions and just can't be bothered to upgrade from 21

So I decided to protect my Linux system with Secure Boot. I've generated own certificates, didn't add Microsoft keys because I thought I don't need them since I'm using Linux in a single boot configuration. I signed bootloader, kernel image, enrolled keys and everything went smooth so far. After a while I decided to try loading Arch Linux live image, and surprisingly it loaded, only in BIOS mode. I figured out that it's some compatibility option that allows legacy boot records to load on modern systems. "Well, it's better to turn it off to enhance security" I thought. And this is when shit hit the fan. After disabling CSM I couldn't boot into UEFI firmware yet my Linux system was booting just fine. What the fuck? TURNS OUT things such firmware and UEFI GPU drivers have to be signed by secure-boot accepted keys AS WELL, and this GPU ROM is only signed by Microsoft key.So, if I don't want to dump my GPU ROM, evaluate it hash and write it to db and do such retarded nonsense every time I upgrade my GPU I have to add Microsoft key, literally allowing any Microsoft distribution to run on my machine. Furthermore, no GPU developer can write a ROM without asking for Microsoft permission, even if they never intended to make drivers for Windows.Why didn't any antimonopoly service such as FTC fucked them over? It's basically a definition of monopolistic behavior.
>>107614339
>>107614339Remember the political shitstorm after Crowdstrike left businesses up shit-creak for a day?Remember the outrage over Windows 11 disqualifying hardware that was still perfectly fine because of muh-TPM?Imagine what will happen if one innocent morning in 2026 millions of consumers and small businesses are pushed a Windows Update that has the new keys in the bootloader, where they fall victim to Microsoft's shit-code arbitrarily failing to enroll those keys in the mobo; and subsequently their machines refusing to start.Remember - disabling Secureboot isn't an option; Windows 11 requires it enabled. Won't start without it.But you can't enable it, because the UEFI doesn't acknowledge the key the bootloader is signed with.And you cannot receive any automated patches onto your Windows system to fix it - because Windows WILL NOT BOOT.
>>107614521YesGPU firmware is located in linux-firmware packages and loaded later on boot into GPU itself so kernel driver can interact with GPUGPU ROM or GPU UEFI drivers are loaded with the firmware and used to display things like UEFI BIOS user interface, boot splash etc. Without loading GPU ROM you basically can't interact with BIOS at all!
>>107614613you dont need windows or any os whatsoever for automated patch thanks to vPro/AMT or whatever that's called but I assume there's not many businesses using those enterprise grade pcs, at least in the outside of the west. Also I didnt understand where you were saying you need Windows to boot up to change secure boot/UEFI settings
>>107614721>you dont need windows or any os whatsoever for automated patch thanks to vPro/AMTSo basically his statement still stands because of a lot of consumer and small business hardware is not vPro/AMT?>Also I didnt understand where you were saying you need Windows to boot up to change secure boot/UEFI settingsSo you expect regular users to somehow acquire USB drive with new Secure Boot keys and enroll them manually?

What's the best PC controller on the market right now? My wired Xbox controller from 2015 works fine but I wanna go wireless
360 pad is hard to beat especially in terms of value and very representative of the times when xbox and microsoft as a whole were a respected brand. Can't go wrong with this for any genre you like to play>>107613228easily breakable as I have come to find out twice unfortunately. I never even throw it away or abuse it in rage, it just fell down one day and stopped turning on since then. Apparently a very common thing as I have read with no fix apart from letting microshit repair this retarded piece of plastic. It just feels cheap too especially when you hold a dualsense in comparison.Dualsense is more expensive but you definitely get your moneys worth. It's amazing how sony isn't even trying to be consumer friendly and yet still moggs the living shit out of this boomer jeetware. The "console war" will be officially over with the next gen and bill gates overvalued vibe code company hopefully buried by the end of this decade.>>107613451not very fond of this pad specifically but 8bitdo is a S tier controller/arcade stick brand especially given the affordable price range>>107613400ds4 is great, unfortunately doesn't hold up very long so I wouldn't pay a lot of money for it
>>107613725Second this, went through 3 of the new xbox pads within a month of normal use and I'm somebody that typically keeps a controller for 5+ years. Microsoft did something but the controller has the durability of a 90s era madcatz controller.Will never buy that piece of shit again.
>>107613228>you need than thisSar, thank you for doing the needful. 200 rupees have deposited to your Microsoft employee account
>>107613522Correction it was a pro2Hopefully with the new layout it doesn't become a issue. The face buttons are slightly louder but not much different from the pro 2
>>107613160You should wait a few months for the steam controller then get that.
Why is AI so useless at data processing? I ask it to do some fuzzy matching on two lists and give me the confidence score of how close the match is, and for about 5% of the data it ends up matching to the wrong item while giving a 100% confidence score, when there's a perfect match that it ignored. This sort of thing is one of the only real productive use cases I can imagine for AI, and it fails miserably at it.
>>107614531That’s actually insane
>>107613213lotta cope for pointing how next word prediction isnt' great at basic things anon
>>107614531It's really great you could do it. And, yes it's impressive if you have never coded (it's a very very very simple program tho). But if you were working in coding (and not a jeet or a useless codemonkey), you can take advantage of it too. I work in industrial automation and I'm very happy using LLMs in my workflow.
>>107614531they are shitting themselves, everyone uses AI and wonder where the axe will fall next. Their entire future pivots on how well they are able to leverage AI to be 10x more productive than the retard shmuck that can't use AI well
>>107614531You made a crappy front end. Why do you feel so proud? You ever run into the acronym WYSIWYG? Congratulations AI has almost caught up to Geocities.
I don't get why it's still so popular.
Only reason I switched away from XFCE to KDE is XFCE kept giving me screen tearing in games that aren't particularly graphicly intensive (notably Factorio). Yes I tried compton or pico or whatever its called now. KDE, dare I say it, just works.

>>107613411What kind of nonsense, is going in with these panels. I refuse to believe this is legit burn in. The retention is too specific, you can almost read the text on some of those windows. I am convinced this retention is artificial, as in the hardware designed to reduce burn in, gets mis-calibrated and ends up doing the exact opposite of what its meant to.

Is there a linux tool that can read standard output or standard error from running processes?For example if I run(while true; do echo nigger ; sleep 1; done) &This will print output to stdout, this output is read in the terminal, now if i disown the process and close the terminal, i lose access to this output even though the process is still running and printing to stdout. Surely there is some way to get logs from running daemons/processes, right?

why dont we just put windmills under the water?water is heavier than wind so it will make more electricity
>>107613790Exists. You can put a concrete tube down to the wave level and the shifting water level moves the air column inside the tube. Then you put a turbine in the tube that always spins the same way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islay_LIMPET
>>107614503>solar panels literally dont work above like 80 degrees,Are you along about Celsius or are you delusional? > and wind mills cant work anywhere near what is considered storm level winds and regular 10 or 20 mphThey certainly can't work continuously when there are storm winds, but they do work a short while, then they break.When there are heavy gusts they keep on spinning and work as usual.By the way I think building solar and wind is both a type of destruction of resources and I believe it actually reduces the available energy globally, at least long term. Still you are delusional and your critique is not connected to reality.
