Almost done with my CompSci Bachelor's (just my thesis remaining) and gonna enter my master's afterwards. Also working as a tutor at uni on top and some costudents think I'm smart. Despite that, I don't know SHIT about tech or software or anything related. I wouldn't even know where to start. Ask me anything if you think this is just imposter syndrome speaking, I'll try my best to give accurate answers.

Are there some good (perferably written) guides for REW and calibration speakers for casualish music listening? Built-in help is a bit much.
>>107557148>Is it really not about quality? I thought that was the whole point.Lossless is about quality, but it’s overkill. Even if you can tell lossy from lossless in a test, the moment some random thought pops into your head, your focus on the differences is gone and it doesn’t really matter anymore. Compressed formats at a decent bitrate sound great. Lossless is more about peace of mind and just why not.
>LocationYookay>Budget£350>What I'm looking forFor listening to music, some bass-heavy music. Also for gaming.

>>107558594Comfort is pretty subjective. Maybe it's worth to go to an audio store, bother the sales assistant, listen to half of their headphones, then say that you need to think about it and check with the wife. And after that just order the ones you liked on amazon.

sorry if this sounds dumb but im finally getting my lazy butt around to getting wan 2.2 and the premade workflow in this rentry: https://rentry.org/wan22ldgguide seems to only have a 5 second output and also it's at a lower frameratein the 2.1 workflow i used from the older rentry, it had an 8 second output at 24fpsam i overlooking something or how do i get 8 second videos with 24 fps for 2.2? i dont really want to poke around on civitai because i remember dudes here posting some extremely cursed workflows that took hours for the equivalent of a schizophrenic ms paint scribble
>>107557319To get 8 seconds at 24fps with WAN 2.2 find the "Empty Latent Video" node and change frames from 121 to 193 and set any FPS settings to 24. 2.2 workflows default lower because it's more resource heavy than 2.1. You can run 8sec at 24fps fine, just takes longer and more VRAM.Make those changes and you're good. Reply if you can't find the nodes.

We didn't know how good we had it with SATA SSDs. M.2/NVME is cheap shit that scales poorly and is inconvenient to access.
>>107550426sata is slow as shit pcie cards are much better
>>107553965>have a bunch of SATA connectors>NNOOOO YOU HAVE TO BUY NVME DRIVES INSTEADLook, most of the time 600Mbps is good enough.I mean, it doesn't even make a difference on the OS drive for boot times and shit. Most programs make no difference.
Nvme is pretty solid for large transfers
>>107556439You made me realise my fundamental problem with NVME.The amount of space it takes up compared to a simple SATA port. It could be fixed by installing them vertically on boards, but that still leaves them sticking out like expansion cards.SATA is pretty good in terms of IO breakout flexibility, power delivered externally too.The concept of the storage is kinda shit at a base level, only the bandwidth really redeems it. Add in the reality of the form factor and it's trash. Ironically SATA never had to conform to something like 2.5", 3.5" etc, it was just a connector, how they housed stuff was up to manufacturers. We still could have had memory sticks you plug in via cable, attached to motherboard in a different way.There's still time to stop before we end up with IDE cables again. It's not too late.
>>107558480>SATA is pretty good in terms of IO breakout flexibility, power delivered externally too. Bro, SATA is shit-tier for all of these items because of all backwards legacy crap. NVMe is far superior to all of those aspects. You are confusing NVMe with M.2 port.
Previous: >>107542799Help an anon out with his graduation thesis by answering the survey made with Tally.https://tally.so/r/pbr2qqFigured it'd be better this way instead, but do feel free to lemme know your thoughts in this thread as well.
>>107555115I ain't doing no survey, but to answer your question: It was seeing Windows continue to get worse with no end in sight. Windows 7 was really the last great Windows OS. I skipped 8 and went to 10. 10 was usable, for the most part. But Microsoft kept fucking with things and you had set registry keys to fix it, and then a few updates later they would change the keys you'd need to set. The final straw was the release of 11 and how much worse it seemed then even 10. At that time I started to make a real effort to switch to Linux. I knew Microsoft was eventually going to force the switch and I didn't want to be caught with my pants down when it happened.I had used Linux previously for random projects but never seriously as my main desktop. In the past I had used a combination of Debian and LXQT. I liked LXQT, but wanted a few more features for my main desktop and so went for Debian with KDE. My first attempt to switch did not go well. It was a stuttery mess that I had tried to troubleshoot for a few weeks before giving up and returning to Windows 10. This was likely due to a combination of Debian's old drivers and the GTX 1080 I had at the time. A few months later I tried again with KDE Neon, because I figured if any distro would give me a good experience with KDE, it would be their own. And it was great, and I still run KDE Neon now. I will say KDE 6 is perhaps not as polished as 5 was, but I still do like KDE.

what if companies are mass buying hardware not only because of AI, but to push people into a cloud ecosystem in the future?imagine a future where most consumer hardware can only run a browser and very lightweight stuff, and the rest needs to be done though cloud services
>>107558281>Everyone can changeI assure you the SECOND this shit starts to impact the ability for druggies and alcoholics to shit up every nation on earth the whole project will burn down overnight lmaoThere are too many people who simply need to be pulled from the streets and terminated, they have no chance of recovery and no amount of stupid tech bullshit can fix them. They are already visible with the naked eye to anyone with a pulse, they are black, white, brown, arab, asian and every shade inbetween.A society in the shape of a utopia cannot be created by trying to make dogshit sticky enough to hold that shape you need to use a clean material.
>>107555161As long as the government doesn't intervene in stopping the production of hardware, as prices rise margins also rise and create an opportunity for new producers to enter the market It's not guaranteed because nothing is guaranteed. AI is destined to fail anyway, it's revolutionising things but margins will lower easily. These companies are basically investing for nothing but they're using freshly printed government money anyway.
This is being done by a desperate scam company to hinder it's competition. Even NVIDIA is backing out on some of it's plans to support them because despite all the hardware they burn they keep getting smacked by more efficient models. We're caught in the crossfire of a literal fucking retard given unlimited VC capital because he looooooves sucking dick
These threads are made by tech inept people. I could comfortably use 4GB of RAM on any popular Linux distribution and probably would be fine with two. Plenty of people run pretty intense workloads with 8GB Macbook Airs which are usually the most powerful laptops with just 8GB of Ram. 99% of people have 16GB of RAM or more and if one of their sticks die they won't need to change to a fucking cloud because they would still have 8GB of RAM.
>>107555161>but to push people into a cloud ecosystem in the future?How long precisely do you feel it practical to restrict the ability to purchase?What about all the manufacturers without a "cloud presence"? Why would they play this game? Whilst they're waiting out the market for all the existing and usable devices to die and losing sales consistently in the process....>imagine a future where most consumer hardware can only run a browser and very lightweight stuff, and the rest needs to be done though cloud servicesyou mean the '60s/70s? When you interfaced a terminal because that was cheap and you shared computer time across the network because it was expensive and the computer was the size of a f'kin building.
What AC cable does this need?300W 20VGiving gaming laptop as a Christmas present but thrown out the old AC cable after it's fuse blown out a few months ago. Wire was fucked.
>>107558532>is this the same for the UK plugs?Power is power. You'll want the 230V math (it's actually 220, but close enough)The brick does the trransforming, yeah, but I question 13A. It eats less than three, on paper. That's a potential to feed it 10A more than it needs. @220V/10A that's the better part of 2.2KW. That's where things like 'fire' happens.
>>107558546Sounds like it makes sense? The closer the fuse is to the max then the fuse will blow before the wires start overhearing and cause a fire?>>107558566I've found one with "Rated to carry 250V at 10A", that's still 7A higher than I need, no?https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-UK-COMPUTER-POWER-CABLE/dp/B0B1JLQJ5PThe wire I'm looking at.
>>107558494Right side says>Input: 100-240V 4.5A 50-60Hz>Output: 20.0V 15.0A 300.0WSo a cable that can handle 13A will certainly be able to handle the 4.5A this thing draws>>107558532>it'll be able to handle 13A from the wall plugSounds like you're thinking of this backwards. Saying it's a 13A wall plug means it can supply UP TO that amount, depending on what the device needs. So you can plug in a 1A charger or a 10A charger but not a 20A charger. This is different from voltage where the numbers need to match exactly (too low and the device won't run right, too high and you'll fry it)
>>107558601For context this is what the AC cable and transformer I need are.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Adapter-GX21F23045-SA10R16956-ADL300SLC3A-Black/dp/B0DM56BCTDBut they don't sell it and it's going for £130 elsewhere which I'm certain I don't need to spend since I have the most expensive part still alive.
>>107558611Didn't notice that thanks for pointing it out.Im reading about AC/DC and it's saying make sure the polarity matches?Their diagram is different to what's on here, do I need a negative cable that takes 240V at say 5A (if such a cable exists)? Or positive
