>load up a ventoy with distros>check out fedora workstation live>it actually has the features a workstation user would want setup out if the box even if it's totally different from windowsIf I'm actually going to be using this machine for nothing except 3D and office work then this actually seems tailored pretty well, I'm surprised.Seems like a Debian-based distro on a laptop and a Fedora distro on desktop might be a good conbo, don't know how heavy Fedora is though.
Is Cinnamon in any way based on KDE Plasma? This feels very similar, although Plasma seems more like a carbon copy of something from Windows 7 at least on Fedora.

>>107747969The LLM bubble wouldn't exist if White Chads like Balmer still ruled the industry. They wouldn't have been enraptured by the magic talking computer the way Indians are. They would've seen through the hype and realized that LLMs aren't actually that useful and that we shouldn't shove them into everything, let alone base our entire technology industry around them.

>OLED has perfect bl-ACKFlip the light switch and some cheap VA will have deeper blacks than an OLED.
>>107750689I consider the Cosmic Microwave Background an acceptable level of dimness.
>>107758742oled will always degrade, even if you do not see burn-in , they get dimmer over time, and usually the blue degrades faster than the other colors on typical oled panels , requiring recalibration, (only qd-oleds are immune from this.) which imo is the bigger problem. i frankly cannot wait for quantum nanorod emissive displays, will finally replace this degrading pos technology and the hotdog water that is lcd once and for all.
>>107766600so much has changed since crts were last made that it might not really be a problem anymore, stuff like the quantum dots used on samsungs qd-oled and va panels could be used to replace or enchance the phosphors , the mask would also likely be quite different, stuff that wasnt possible 25 years ago is readily available today and could be added with a relatively minimal effort, the bigger problem is the xrays.
I use a 10 year old 29inch matte ips 21:9 display for office and gayming and i have zero issues with it. Black is more of a very dark grey. But it is fast, colors look good, no dead pixels, no ghosting. I can stand 360° behind the display and still see the image. And you tell me i need more? Talk me out of buying a bigger 34´ 2k 100hz ultrawide ips display then.
MicroLED will replace OLED soon.
Nothing annoys me more than the normie idea that big tech wants to unemploy everyone and let society collapse or benefits from anarchy as some secret endgame so the premise is broken. when things get real, policy and UBI come first and thats on governments and not evil big tech

I have a damn fetish for smartphones. I WANT (don't buy) a new mobile phone almost every year. I wipe my current phone completely with a wet wipe every day. I clean up the trash, optimize it, and restart it, and I update the apps. I really want a realme gt 8 pro 12/256, but I think even 60% of its features would be useless to me...
>>107768975Well, I only ever obssess over it during the upozzing process when I opt out of everything on first boot while actively making sure all the bloat and spyslop is uninstalled, disabled, stopped and isolated, the firewall set up to block eveything and all the other privacy/optimization apps carefully tweaked and managed by droid-fy. After that, it's only about updoots, which at that point Android itself no longer has the capacity to perform on it's own.Basically my phone becomes a miniature troonix pc that cannot be hijacked by any of the parties involved in it's design.
>>107768975sound like the phone is your transference object and you might have som form of retrograde psychological condition. or maybe you're just a consumer drone, one or the other
sadly you're late to rooting & custom ROMs
>>107769183I think I'm greatly overestimating the importance of a smartphone as such.
I don't believe that there are people that can get excited over new phones or even tell two different phones apart. Every time I've bought a new phone it's been the same as my old one despite the old one getting discontinued every time.

No matter what kind of program I write, there is always a large amount of state in it, and it's accessed from everywhere in a "disorganized" way. You know the term "cross-cutting concerns"? The entire program consists of cross-cutting concerns as far as I'm concerned. Clearly it is good for efficiency, because whenever I try to extract parts of the program into their own modules I always find that it introduces redundant branching (as in the extracted procedure does some branching and computes a return value, and then calling procedure has to branch on the returned value again). However, I find it annoying that I am reimplementing common things again and again with slight task-specific variations. Is there any orthodox literature on program structure written by programmers, not by consulting and book salesmen?
>>107769872>there is always a large amount of state in it, and it's accessed from everywhere in a "disorganized" wayOOP solves this>Is there any orthodox literature on program structure written by programmers, not by consulting and book salesmen?don't know any, but if there are, i would not expect them to be good. programmers are quite bad at writing books"consultants" like Uncle Bob can oversell good points, but if you apply them with some forethought and not blindly and everywhere, they generally work way more often than not
This is it. The end of personal computing, the end of gaming gpus.: No more rtx 6000, no more dedicated gpus, Nvidia will completely exit the consumer market. Told you that this was going to happen, one way or another. A single data enter dedicated to GAY-I brings more revenue than 100.000 individual consumers who buy GAYMER cards. Better scoop up a top of the line gpu now, while stocks last. There won't be any new cards coming, and yeah that applies to rtx 5000 super too.
>>107769607>since you are too poor to buy new GPUs, we will just sell you more fake frames

Is it absolutely necessary to smash the mass storage device's hardware to pieces to make the data on it unrecoverable? I knew about /dev/zero and /dev/urandom, which, from what I understand, would be the equivalent of a C program that, via syscall write, would write a binary file, either all 0s or random, that would occupy the "free" space (i.e., the space not marked in the index table) until the disk is full. Once it's full, the file is deleted from the index table. In theory, it should work like this, at least for mechanical mass storage devices... For NVMe and SSDs, I know they talk about trim, but I don't know if it's actually a real thing... In any case, why are both methods fallacious in preventing data recovery? On paper, it seems to make sense.
>>107769094All modern storage devices are independent computers running proprietary firmware. You have no clue what they're really doing and they're free to ignore any drive erasing commands or make additional copies of data in the spare disc space. Even full disc encryption isn't a perfect defense because the drive can log access patterns that could leak information. Mechanical destruction is simple and reliable.
>>107769413and FUN!
>>107769148zeroed, sure. randomized highly unlikely.the best they could get from that cache file is a filetree of names, not the data within it.unless hdd's secretly all have futuristic invisible chips in it which would be manufactured by china.
>>107769094Lol> writing the drive with random ones and zeroes 10x never truly erases the drive! Mossad or the Chinese could recover it? More like> CAN ANYONE RECOVER THIS FAILED DRIVE! I'LL PAY ANYTHING > sorry mate that's impossible

>>107769813well for many of we got what we could get. i remember a period where i had the option of decent quality 174MiB vga xvid dvd rips of anime, or 35MiB qvga rmvb rips. obviously the former look much better, even on dial up even 35MiB took some time to download, so i downloaded the rmvb's for most shows
>>107769771idk what you expected, sata is brand new!
>>107769944I guess that makes sense. I was downloading rips of games back in the dialup days. Not many sites had the entire isos for DL, so you basically had to download everything separately.>music addon>speech addon>cinematics addonIt would take an entire Saturday afternoon just to get the base gamerip without any of the media parts.
>>107769964yea, i remember game rips as well. i kinda wish that was still a thing, since games even today have the bulk of their size in media and unnecessarily-high-res textures. really with things like steam there's no technical reason why this can't just be an official option, like a choice between low/high res video assets, other languages, and whether you want to download the "ultra" quality textures etc, since we all know only a small number of players actually use those. but they still treat things like everyone has infinite bandwidth and storage space. maybe i do today, but a lot of people don't.
