I'm looking for a laptop that has a 1366x768 panel but a relatively recent cpu, at least 10 000+ cpu mark. Is it possible to find something like this?Basically, high dpi screens really fuck with my eyes, making them constantly refocus. I've been using a 1366x768 laptop for 8 years then switched to a newer laptop with a 1920x1080 screen and started having severe eye strain, with my myopia worsening in the span of 2 months. I can only comfortably use a low-res screen, it seems. How would you get out of this predicament bros
>>106469757I don't think DPI is the issue here. PWM is.Modern panel controls brightness by rapidly turning the screen on and off. Try set the brightness to max and see if it helps.
>>106469776I did consider this, and found that the new 1920x1080 laptop I used actually didn't have PWM. Currently, I have a Mac Air 15 M4 side by side with a thinkpad e15 (with 1920x1080) from work, and the difference is night and day. It's like when looking at thinkpad screen, I perceive the information being displayed "immediately", while on mac, my eyes constantly refocus on each part of the screen to be able to read. And scaling doesn't help. With this thinkpad e15 it's also not perfect, with prolonged usage I still get fatigue.

i asked humanity's lord and savior how to cut a 3.5" circle from paper.
>>106469062maybe specify whether you want radius or diameter next time?even humans can't guess what the fuck your dumb brain is thinking
String idea is stupid and impossible to pull off. You need to get a paint stirrer or something similar and drill holes in it. String will stretch and the knot you tie will be off.
>>106469189> but it's not the nice ai's fault if i sell you 5" speakers do you assume the drivers are 10 inches?!anyway it had already correctly assumed a diameter of 3.5" for option 1 and 2, then went retarded for option 3.
>>106469189Anon is obviously trying to milk a nonissue to say "AI bad"Took more effort to make this thread then would have been to say "I meant a 3.5-inch diameter circle"
>>106469027here's an interesting solutionfirst we need to make a perfect square from the paper. whichever edge of the paper is shortest, take the corner and fold it such that it aligns with the longest edge, creating a hypotenuse. this also creates another edge where if we cut along it, snipping the extra paper, we're left with a perfect square piece of paper.then fold it in half twice. measure the radius, or 1.75", from the central creased edge. then cut across the quarter of the circle. unfold it and voila, a circlethere's some error correction factored by the number of folds if you want to go deeper into the rabbit hole (left up to the reader)
4chan is allowed to exist precisely because it serves the role of controlled opposition. On the surface it looks chaotic, subversive, even dangerous to the established order. In truth, it is a carefully managed honeypot designed to capture the restless, the angry, and the disillusioned, and to channel their energy into nothingness. Those who might have built lives of success, families, movements, or enterprises instead become trapped in a cycle of cynicism and wasted time. Potential leaders, creators, and builders are neutralized before they can even begin, caught in a net that convinces them resistance is impossible and that resignation is the only honest path.This year’s so‑called hack was part of that same illusion. By staging a breach and making it look as though the site were vulnerable and unofficial, the real owners were working to preserve the myth that 4chan is outside the reach of power. In reality, it functions exactly as intended, as an intelligence operation cloaked in the aesthetics of anarchy. The illusion of instability is a mask that hides the greatest stability of all: total government control over the digital space where angry young men vent their rage. What appears to be uncontrolled chaos is in fact curated permission, a trap that works better precisely because it pretends not to exist.The effect is that those who might challenge authority from the outside are disarmed before they ever act. Their will is drained, their days are consumed, and their spirit becomes fractured in a maze designed by professionals who understand human psychology down to the bone. What could have become rivals to the system are instead kept docile by endless threads, fake debates, and algorithmic despair. And while they waste their lives in cycles of contempt and distraction, the machinery above them operates without resistance, satisfied that its greatest threats have been transformed into its most harmless captives.

>>106469606Around 50% of the posts on 4chan come from the gaming boards, so it's really a site for gamers. All the other major boards are for exactly the sort of interests we would expect gamers to have.

>>106469590>The only major difference between Reddit and 4chan is the userbaseNo, the major difference between 4chan and Reddit is the algorithm for displaying posts (most recent vs. most upvoted)
>>106469756Most forums are like that, but very few of them have the same sort of content.The websites that encourage antisocial content the most are the ones that try to maximize screentime. 4chan's slant comes from its userbase.
I did a small research (pics included) and I've noticed there's something strange happening with recent WD hard drives. For instance let's take a look at this 4TB WD Purple (WD43PURZ), the datasheet says it's CMR but if you look at the graph it behaves like SMR and TRIM is supported.https://files.catbox.moe/xdudsc.jpgSame applies to 4TB WD Blue/Red Plus models, all these have 256MB cache and 181 buffer zones (like WD Red EFAX) instead of typical 61 like normal CMR WD drive. https://files.catbox.moe/htn2k3.jpgLook at these 4TB drives - they all look like this SMR WD Red EFAX drive.https://files.catbox.moe/cz46vl.jpgAnd 6TB WD drives are also identical to this EFAX drive.https://files.catbox.moe/nd55ho.jpgSo WD is lying again like they did when they released their first SMR Red. Avoid all 4-6TB models, unless it's enterprise class (Gold, Black, Ultrastar).Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>106464886No. I'm not a data recovery specialist and any DIY may make things even worse, disassembly requires a sterile room with zero dust particles, moisture or any foreign object which is impossible to achieve at home.>>106466159No, quite many 2TB drives and less are SMR. Especially 2,5 inch (all of them are SMR). 1-4TB CMRs should have no more than 64MB cache (apart from some enterprise models). CMR doesn't even need cache, it will work just as fine with 8MB buffer. Also they shouldn't have a TRIM command.>>106466365Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Any attempts to work with a SMR drive fragments the files even more, regardless if you just read the files or write new ones. Already posted the video from one ukrainian data recovery specialist who shows how does this a WD10SPZX SMR behave during the read tests.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67arwgtTyxAThis is why SMRs fail in RAID, the files become so fragmented that it's becoming impossible to "assemble" them while accessing, the drive will either drop its speed to >1MB/s or even completely freeze (sometimes corrupting the affected tracks) which will never happen to a CMR drive.Comment too long.

>>106466652but it feels like a logical extension of how the GPL acts. it attaches itself to everything that touches it and everything that touches that. in the case of mongo specifically not just the license I dont even understand why they wanted that even if hindering competitors truly is the desired advantage. is anyone trying to make new DBMSs by forking mongo?no, this has to be about a cloud service that mongo inc provides, right? which has all the setup that gives simple access to a mongodb server. then if any dev is using that to HOST their own project (like they would with AWS or akamai/linode etc) which may or may not be reliant on mongodb-specific features, they have to license their whole project under the mongo license. but again, HOW is that a competitor? if mongo-cloud is providing dbms and storage, and an app hosted there is providing a forum or something, how is that a conflict? I dont get it, I remember being confused about this months ago too, I DONT GET IT

Is solar energy worth it?Seems like a huge fucking scam.If it really does generate energy and you can cover your house in solar panel and disconnect from the grid and save yourself $100+ a month, everybody would be doing it and getting returns on investments 1 year later.What do you think?
>>106469471It's very very close though.It's already starting production for indoor use and the outdoor use is basically around the corner.The lead free chemistry is already more or less figured out and just needs a bit of adjustments to get the efficiency up from 17% to +20% and it's basically good to go for mainstream markets.Give this tech a year or two and it'll be commercially viable.https://www.perovskite-info.com/halocell-start-producing-indoor-perovskite-pvs-can-replace-disposable-batterieshttps://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/05/14/halocell-australian-researchers-to-scale-lead-free-solar-tech/
>>106469398What the fuck
>>106469398All politicians should inhale coal fumes 24/7 for a month to prove it's clean.
It would be worth it if the government weren't such faggots about it. In Melbourne, Australia the government forces you to feed your solar power back into the grid, hooking up everything to a battery is extremely forbidden and they will come and throw you in gaol for "unsafe" electrical. So instead of supplying yourself with electricity you have to pay like $100+ a month to be connected to the grid and then are forced to use the grid power at night time with peak power prices while they pay you like 2c per 10kw for the power you generate during the day.Solar would be a great way to decentralise. I'd happily buy low power goods, chest freezers and whatnot, just to not have to fuck around with energy companies.
>>106469398coal is literally obsolete in the USA and cannot compete with pipeline gas in any respect. It only continues to limp along due to existing infrastructure and subsidies.

I'm hearing this language just beat C, C++, Rust, Go and pretty much everything else. Is that true? The more I read about it the more it seems like the true winner of the programming languages of the 2000s.
>>106466164>in comparison to C and rust in benchmarksnot once was any benchmark posted and I'll bet it's a cherry picked one. nim probably has trouble in other cases and you never talk about what the negatives of using nim might be. you still aren't looking at the larger picture which just makes you another annoying nocoder
it sometimes does, as nim has a few top-tier libraries like arraymancerhttps://github.com/mratsim/ArraymancerBut in general, naive nim 2.0 code will lose to naive c/c++ most of the time, but usually by a negligible amount. So you'll have to put in some work if you want to compete or beat.There are some release options since nim just compiles to c.Like using clang LTOhttps://forum.nim-lang.org/t/6295If you are a hardcore manual memory believer, you should be aware that it's highly coupled to its reference counting based memory management solution (which can be quite good sometimes)https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc-in-nim.htmlAnd while you can turn it off --mm:none, in my experience, it's a second-class experience, which makes sense considering how hostile the creator is for manual memory in nim.You should also be aware, that Nim 2 is in a sort of purgatory right now because they're in the middle of shipping Nim 3, which is a completely new compiler which makes some radical changes.https://github.com/nim-lang/nimonySo while Nim 2 is a great language (with a fair bit of oddities), you're coming in at an awkward time, and i believe you should only use it if you're okay with automatic memory management.If you want an alt lang with a better manual memory experience, or believe in the mixed-management strategy, i think D is a better choice, or you can try the other ones like Zig or Odin (which i have no experience with)
--mm:none
>>106465531our days of searching for a c replacement certainly are coming to a middle
>>106469455Did he already say that he's gonna make breaking changes for nim3?
>>106469710yeah, there's gonna be a fair bit.https://nim-lang.org/araq/nimony.htmlhttps://nim-lang.github.io/nimony-website/index.htmlI haven't looked too hard into nimony/3 yet since Araq (the creator) isn't expecting to publicly ship it for a few more months (which means probably next year Q1). And i have enough experience with nim (a bit before 1.0) to realize it will probably be radically different than the current docs.I'm expecting any large project port will probably be module by module.Anyway, you can read through his progress report threadshttps://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12693https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12978https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/13357

Hypothetically, lets say I worked for a giant tech company, lets call them... Moogle.I worked as a sales manager of two states for Moogle.I was soft-demoted to one state only (no cut in pay but cut in responsibility.I was on an illegal two-year revolving contract that was unlawful and employed through a sham agency to make it seem I wasn't technically directly employed by Moogle.Moogle senior managers would instruct us to lie to stores about promotions, such as calling them 'sales excursions' instead of a sale promotion (what actually was), as running an incentive-based program costing hundreds of thousands with anti-competition laws in my country.Contract renewals were tied to performing things like this and what other illegal under the table (Below the Line - they actually had a fucking name for it) deals with individual dealer reseller stores (think an AT&T licencee owner that sells Moogle Mixel phones)This meant Mixel phones had a market share of >70% in some dealer stores (normal is around 10% for Mixel). This was a direct result of these bribes they gave to dealer owners to artificially push Mixel. They would give visa gift cards split into small denominations to avoid auto tax-fraud cash equivalent reporting. I brought all of this to Moogle's attention and after two months they fired me just an hour before travel to a Mixel conference for the most trivial reason (I had an business registration I wasn't even using)Comment too long.

>>106468505Similar situation?The thing I dont get it how they command (and usually get) undying loyalty for staff when they treat them as so expendable.I think they habe managed to tap into a specific millennial loser that genuinely sees working at Moogle as their whole identity. It's quite amazing, really. I did admittedly find the Moogle Office tour to be pretty fun, but on the way out I realised that the carnival decorations and mini golf on roof would get stale after a couple of weeks (unless you are Millenial cringe)
>>106468516What I realised is the lawsuits are the whole point. Cheaper and easier to pay lawyers and settle for a few hundred mil when you've made a few dozen bil already. Governments get the few hundred mil which is better than nothing I guess.If you ask me, almost every issue we have in society these days stems from turning people into products. I miss when things had value. Google started this whole 'you will own nothing and be happy' dystopia.
>>106468744>Similar situation?not quite, I toil deep in the bowels of Android.>would get stale after a couple of weeksthey did
>>106468776Ah, so youre really in it. Reading the news about theor monopolistic practices though, it does appear that they do function in this way across their entire brand. Physical hardware was no different than what happens with software and Android. This is their business model. Im starting to see them as more of a hostile government power than a private company.Also im pretty sure they lose money on Mixel just to get the handsets out. The money they were spending on our relatively small market was in way recouped by units sold. It's about getting the software out to people for their own uses later onSpeaking of it getting stale, the click for me was during an awards night they already had selected the most cringe kidult things you can imagine, "hey everyone, the prize this year will be a giant Bowser lego" and the whole team went crazy. At that point I realised that they 'select' for autism. I code-switch to present as such but in reality I am far from it. Somehow they 'knew' that the entire team wanted Lego playsets...
>>106468437Heh, I used to work for a company that catered for Google offices. Me and my coworkers stole so much food, boxes of chips and coconut water etc. We'd get high every day in my manager's car and eat free Google cafe meals on the clock. Good times, desu
