today was one of the weirdest encounters i’ve had at worki’m a supervisor at a company, and one of the employees i’ve been overseeing for about 4 months uses ubuntu on his work laptop. it was always a bit inconvenient since everyone else uses macs (company provided), so we’d have to deal with flash drives or uploads instead of just airdrop, but whatever — he got his work done so i didn’t careuntil todayi gave him something urgent to finish. came back after an hour and asked if he was done. he says he’s “having issues with his OS”we’re on a tight deadline, so i offer him a spare dell latitude to just get it done quicklythis guy straight up refuses and says “i don’t use this trash”at that point i don’t even care, i just tell him we need to finish the task NOW. he takes the laptop… and instead of doing the work, he starts trying to install ubuntu on itthat’s when i lost it. like actually what are you doing? you’re on the clock, we’re behind, and you’re reinstalling your favorite OS instead of doing your jobComment too long.

>>108519603No, the graphical user interface is the primary source of frustration in computing. I don't blame him. The last time I was forced to use a gui at work led to me dissociating while driving down the highway, and then in the field while taking concrete samples. Windows wasn't directly related to the problem, I'm not actually sure what ever was going on. I got arrested before I could make it to the doctor.The techs at company won't even let you write scripts to automate anything. They force you to press the tab key and click buttons and do things slower, even when there is no good reason to subject yourself to it.

>>108520637They did that with Firefox phones and it just got universally panned.I think the trick would be to do like router vendors do with OpenWRT and just donate hardware to guys working on Postmarket OS. Phones are so much more work though, and hardware vendors only care about Android. Which is in this situation clearly not Linux.
>>108520624Because it's fun. Android and iOS devices no longer have any native IPv4 on my network now and I set up a separate NAT64 prefix that transparently routes all the traffic through tor. It required all that crap though because the Linux netfilter stack is a pile of garbage that hates you.
I've had to login into my windows partition for the first time in ages. I haven't been pissed off because of my pc in so long, holy shit.
>>108520747Ah, you making it look harder than it is in terms of software. Like I said, you just use a fully ready to use USB modem and shove it in your device. You just talk to it via serial or smth like that, it is actually documented. Small things like gyro you can do on your own, it costs close to nothing and not hard to write code for, at least for typical phone use-cases. Well documented as well. It's the camera that is a major problem. Got no solution for that, even in theory.Maybe again some webcam over USB? kekMay actually work.>>108520795> They did that with Firefox phones Ahem. They gave those to a bunch of Africans afaik. What did you expect them to do, create a tech community where people can barely read and write and usually don't have stable or any electricity at home?> I think the trick would be to do like router vendors do with OpenWRT and just donate hardware to guys working on Postmarket OSWhat I say. I meant not random celebrities, but people interesed in working on it. You know, teh mareks community of youtube, before it became lame, fake and gay bunch of sales people asking me to use their referal.

recommend good rechargeable battery packs (not individual rechargeable batteries, i already tried a few brands and they all suck) for my series x controllerthis fucker drains double As like it's nothing even when it's turned off, i don't fucking get it, my old xbone controller didn't do this
>>108520334encasing the battery in a plastic pack isn't going to magically make it any better.
>>108520397no but at least i can just plug the controller in to charge the battery pack vs taking them out and trying to remember which shitty 2 cent battery charger came with which rechargeable batteries

>>108520498>The change applies only to previously unlicensed implementers seeking a new license in 2026 or later, with all companies that held an active AVC license as of the end of 2025 retaining their original terms.In other words, none of the established big players will be affected.

It just scales and you can use the HEVC bitrates for VP9 or AV1 as VP9 is the same and HEVC is exactly between 20-30% larger than AV1.Even when I record or stream, using AV1 with a max of 8192 KBpS for 1440p 60fps footage with a VBR target of 5 (out of 7), I get flawless footage without artifacts or crunchiness even in my blacks and reds.

why wouldn't new tech make you happier?
>>108520506I didn't even noticed that. I wonder why it incorrectly ID'd it.Maybe because I can't update the drivers for it without breaking the graphics output, forcing me to re-install windows and the outdated drivers.
>>108517180Where do you live with your wife and children?
>>108517317It isn't actually responsible to not have children.You could just be a good person and love them and want them to be successful enough to live on their own and have their own family.
>>108516914It does... that image is pure cope, what makes me unhappy is not having money to buy new things, so I'm stuck with something old and unrealiable, it's especially bad for cars as repairs are expensive, but buying a new one is impossible.

Once you try alacritty w/ tmux inside DWM or Hyprland, you never go back.
>>108520452I don’t like splits and so I’m always in fullscreen. In tmux I have:alt + n to switch to n windowalt + n/p for next and previous respectively.Other solution was to rely on monocle mode in my TWM, which I found to be less revealing even without fullscreen. [3] tells me there’s 3 open terminals, but no metadata such as tmux’ window name. I’d rather keep and see all open terminals directly in a single tmux instance in workspace 1. Workspace 2 for browser etc.
>>108520494Every piece of kde software I've ever used makes me want to bleed from my eyes. >>108520474Today was probably the 3rd time I've tried every file manager just to settle back on pcmanfm-qt.
>>108520045kek
>>108520518I just don't get the fullscreen workflow. I always end up with master/stack or fibonnacci. I also hate having one file open and it not being on only half of my screen. It just visually bothers me.
>>108517360I’m not really sure what you’re trying to accomplish here>>108517868>especially if you're using a tiling manager isnt it better to just launch new windows instead of a multiplexer?f you said that with a straight face, you probably don’t need a terminal emulator at all

Worldcoin (now World) by Sam Altman scans irises/faces via Orb kiosks, pays in WLD crypto.They extract a unique IrisCode for proof-of-personhood (verifying real humans vs AI/bots). Raw images are deleted after processing; no central storage of biometrics per their claims.Goal: Build a global human ID layer for AI-era apps (payments, messaging, services) without revealing your data.It faced bans and forced data deletions in many countries (Kenya, Spain, etc.) over privacy issues. Enrollment slowed; most people forgot.No evidence of secret misuse. It's just a biometric login for a crypto/AI identity network.
>>108520600>everything's deleted trust us broheh
>>108520560aren't they pivoting into digital ID? i swear they came up in an article about that...

It is time to install Linux, anon.
>>108520815you do realize posting this means you're not that different right
>>108519125I deeply regret not installing Linux earlier. It really does just make using your computer fun again. The most insane thing about Windows that's been on my mind recently is how Powershell proudly tells you how long it took to load your shell profile which can be SECONDS long. How is this even possible? I'm thinking of that Casey Muratori video where he's complaining just how slow Visual Studio is and showing the email chain of him and a jeet representative at Microsoft saying there's a "cultural disconnect" at work. Indians like >>108520815 will see that their text-based shell prompt takes seconds to load and will go "wow these looks are gorgeous please push saar" it's all so tiresome

>>108516315What's funny is even though I put a x5690 and still use the stock cooler, it has never gotten hot. At full load the CPU still sits in the 60c range.How did you supply enough power to the video card with the stock power supply? I swapped mine out with a 700w one and made a custom adapter because HP just couldn't use the stock pinout.
>>108519237The PSU I have there is 475w, but eventually I managed to get the highest wattage model that HP made for the Z400. It's called the DPS-650LB B (600w). The 1650S is a pretty light card though.
>>108520778I have a couple of those 475W PSUs laying about. I kept them and labeled them since I didn't want to kill another board not realizing what they came out of. I figured my 1080ti and the x5690 with all the HDDs would be a bit much for the 475W and a 700W and building the adapter was a pretty cheap upgrade. It's been solid for probably a decade now.
>>108516315>They really overbuilt them. eh idk about thattwo 3.5" slots?tons of ancient cases had more
>>108520840That's not what overbuilt would suggest. It means structurally stronger, heavier-duty than required.Besides that people who need storage just put drives in the 5.25 slots up top (like those silverstone arrays)

Why did Apple decide to discontinue the Mac Pro instead of upgrading it with those ultra chips and crazy water cooling?I mean, you see all these videos of peop overclocking the MacBook Neo with external cooling, so just think about how awesome it would be if the ULTRA chip had a massive 400mm water cooling block?
>>108520109Framework really fucked up with the design.Imagine Steam cube design, but it has noctua DH 15 cooler or like something that size.
>>108519919>Why did Apple decide to discontinue the Mac Pro they burnt their creative pros with the trashcan.the pros went to hackintosh, linux or windows instead.the 2019 model was a brief apology.the slots on the m2 mac pro were only useful for capture cards or raid cards.it was too late to rename the mac studio the mac pro.>upgrading it with those ultra chips?the chip intended for the mac pro was two m2 ultras joined together, like how the ultra is two m2 maxes joined together. they couldn't do it.
>>108520330>the pros went to hackintoshNot stable enough for actual professional work.
>>108520358there was a rackmount version of the 2019 mac pro because apple caught video pros running server farms of hackintoshes.
>>108519919the mac studio chassis serves the ultra well, and apple doesn't appear to be interested in making bigger, hotter chips at the moment
