>>107560728>I'm sure it can do something useful.Nobody has any interest in hacking these things anymore. Even the fire tablets are completely dead.
>>107560930I just looked and it appears that the latest versions haven't been cracked. Older ones can have Lineage OS installed on them, making them useful. Truth is that anyone buying you gifts who actually knows you should know better than to give you some Amazon slop. If you get it at a work function or something of that nature you can just flip it on ebay for nickels and buy an SD card or something with the proceeds.
>>107560811>Chat GPT, Gemini, Claud, ext are all decent to talk toNo they're all cucked to the point of having no personality, but good for some tasks yes.>Siri, OK Google, and Alexa all suck compared to that. Why don't they just hook up a decent half AI? Siri has sucked for decades.They have. Google hooked up gemeni to the google voice assistant, and it's worse than you can imagine. Try enabling it if you dare.If you do, it can answer at GPT3.5 level BUT you can no longer do things like play music, turn on bluetooth, set a timer etc. It will till you how to do it instead. Completely broken, and cannot be undone sometimes.Apple did the more sensible option where you can "forward" your question to GPT.Voice assistants are OK for these basic tasks, adding LLMs to them add nearling nothing other than a hands free way to ask stupid shit.

>>107561107This is the most compelling answer. /thread>>107560835My parents' home is Alexa-fied and I hate it. It makes me feel like a slave driver, asking requests of the robot for basic things like setting timers and reminders.
People told me that I couldn't install Arch. That it was impossible for someone as stupid as me. That I'd just waste my time. That I would never be able to figure out how to set up the partitions, or how to enable wifiI installed Arch. I even installed it headless on a Raspberry Pi
>>107559567uh-huh. Sure. Sure. We believe you. Honest.Would you like some more crayons to eat?
>>107555265Great. You installed linux. Now what will you do?
>>107559520why did I install Arch? First, I don't like RPI OS. And was going to keep running Ubuntu on it. But I ran Ubuntu LTS on my rpi for 4 years already and wanted something new
>>107555265no one said its impossible or even hard its just a hassle because you're meant to pick a lot of things and configure them where's other distros just have an installed and mostly work without much hassle.arch was never 'hard' it's just 'assemble your own os'
you cant even kill yourself. what a loser.

Why does this shit have to be so complicated?Figured it'd be a fun side project to copy the cards I use for public transport/door access so I don't have to carry so much shit around on a daily basis. Both are MiFare Classic 1ks. Wondered why all the NFC reader applications I tried on my phone didn't read the actual data, only to find that you actually need specialised hardware (eg. proxmark) kits that go for upwards of €500. Fuck that.Should I give up at this point or are there other/cheaper options? Feels retarded to dump so much on a stupid one-off side project...
>>107560976You're retarded for not understanding how the cards actually work. MiFare Classic has key protected sectors. You need to crack the keys to copy them. Some applications just use the card's serial number instead (which is insecure). You can buy cards with programmable serial numbers.

By 2028 the prices they've charged in Q4 2025 will be the standard price.They will then get sued again but nothing will happen.What the PC community needs are multiple Luigis and Kims. The corpos need to fear their lives.
Perfect, that's around the time I'll be building my next PC so it means should be plenty of used (read cheap) ecc ram. I'll just need to find a motherboard that supports it and I'm gucci
I built a computer with 32GBs in 2024, that should tide me over nicely.
>>107561098Tide over to where?Prices will increase and then "go back" to where they are now at best - not to early 2025 levels.

I've never been on the bleeding edge of hardware or video games.It's like finding out my expensive build can't run crysis.

I started typing in Dvorak over 15 years ago after someone on /g/ posted about it. I'm here to return the favor. You can type faster and better with Dvorak or Colemak.>What is it?Dvorak (duh-vore-ack) is an alternative keyboard layout. Instead of common key pairs being set apart so that typewriter hammers don't run into each other, Dvorak is optimized to group common key pairs on alternating hands, as well as make optimal use of the home row. There is more than 70% less finger travel when using Dvorak.>Why use it?People have different reasons, I used to have bad wrist pain from typing with bad posture. Switching to Dvorak eliminated that wrist pain for me and it never came back. >Do you use it on phones or just full keyboards?Just full keyboards. If you're just typing with your thumbs it doesn't make as much sense, and I like being able to switch between the two.>Muh colemak!Colemak is about 2% better than Dvorak. It only makes sense to learn one. I didn't know about Colemak when I started. I like that Dvorak has all the vowels next to each other but Colemak has more keys in common with QWERTY, improving the learning curve.
>>107559525Moving the semicolon away from the home row seems like it would be annoying for programming.
WPM is ultimately meaningless when you get to 60+, the reason why colemak or dvorak is good is because they minimize finger movement, making your typing much more ergonomic than if you are using qwerty
>>107560950Nothing beats qwerty semicolon placement but at least on colemak it's right under ")">>107560980>WPM is ultimately meaningless when you get to 60+
>>107559525I didn't know custom keyboard layouts were a thing, I mean as in their own rabbit hole. I always assumed Dvorak or Colemak were isolated cases, like some weird niche options you could find in the keyboard settings of your OS. Anyway, I recently came across the Canaria layout, which is based off Canary (same thing but X and J keys are swapped).https://github.com/christoofar/canariahttps://github.com/Apsu/CanaryBoth, specially Canaria, seem like a good option for someone who types in both Spanish and English, so as a spic myself this seems something worth trying out.
There is honestly no good reason to learn Dvorak in this day and age. It is an improvement over qwerty, but there are significant improvements over it today. If you're taking the time and effort necessary to learn an autistic layout, learn a good one from the first try, there's no reason to settle for a compromise.Those who can already type on Dvorak don't necessarily need to relearn a new layout unless you really have too much free time, but there's just no reason to pick it now if you're learning from scratch.Colemak or Colemak-DH is the best layout if you want something widely available and without too much autism. It's basically good enough on most metrics and doesn't require autistic installation of custom layouts or ten hours of learning about layout stats and digging through autistic discords to find the optimal one.
