why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
>>107640271open source ruined software, devs are more busy trying to make their code look good to others while it is a garbage buggy/bloated software anyways.
>>107654038Among keys to individual power
Whether from the perspective of a frustrated noob like OP or some angry old nigger like >>107654160, the entire interaction called "help" appears to be a massive waste of time. I certainly don't bother with it anymore. If it's not the sort of thing I can teach myself, it's not worth bothering with
>>107640271if you were smart enough to figure out things on your own then you wouldnt be asking for helpergo listen to what you're told instead of being """"creative"""""
>>107654160I ask that bc I want to learn the language / system and got stuck without a clue on how to proceed, and because I don't want my homework done for me. I only learn by really grokking the most retarded-seeming details of the language, not by adopting "design patterns" or "best practices", which is purely about aesthetics and preventing feuds between codemonkeys.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?
>>107654924behold! get thou windows 7 for it to be placed in your maker of compute!let it fly high as the seagull in the first crisps of the morning, let it be free, as the seahorse while it's mating with mighty waters.ye let it be speed, as the 4chan user finishing it's late night chores. indeed I have spoken you, and my words are true

>>107621970I am more willing to solve whatever issue Linux throws at me and find a solution to integrate whichever application is not directly compatible with it than to upgrade to Win11. I got it at work, it's awful bloat, the Office and Adobe suites are the ones doing the heavy lifting for the OS. If there were native versions of Excel and Photoshop for Linux I can assure many more would switch to a user friendly distro like Mint

How accurate is the temperature shown on these cheapo table clocks? I'd like to buy one just to have an idea of the temp inside some rooms, the humidity would also be nice.I'd appreciate some suggestions too if you own/know an accurate one, the cheaper the better because I need like 3-4. As long as they're within 1-2C from the real thing it would be great.
>>107656257Temperature is fairly accurate, even on the cheap ones. You can get cheap digital ones they'll use a small button cell which will need replacement eventually, but after like 6 months do it's not that bad.You can also just get analog ones, those cost about the same, are as accurate or more (though harder to read) and don't need batteries.Humidity is the tougher one. There are digital and analog temperature and humidity sensors. Neither is very accurate though digital seems to be slightly better imo. I have both digital and analog ones, and neither is correct, though the digital is off by about ±10% while the analog one can vary ±20%.It's enough for a rough "should I air out this room to prevent mold" check (which is what I use them for), but not much else. For a grow tent, 3d print farm or anything where accuracy matters, it's not good enough. I'd say get cheap ones from the bundle section. Digital if the accuracy matters to you, analog if you prefer the convenience of no batteries. Neither should cost you much (2-3$ each)
Noooo the daily 50 cent thing is gone now.

Is the nvidia driver dx12 bug ever going to be fixed? You'd think with the growth in linux users they'd prioritize it a little more. I switched earlier this year to linux, I wouldn't be using nvidia if I had planned to use it before building my pc, but it is just retarded that half the games I want to play perform like shit because one of the richest companies ever wont bother fixing it.
>nvidia>fix driver bugs in 2025kek, they dont give a shit about Windows drivers on their newest video cards why the fuck would they care about lincux

>>107657600Boycott and don't buy.
>>107657614Like I said if I had caught on to linux before buying I wouldn't have, but I actually switched from amd to nvidia on windows because of the constant headaches and crashes the amd drivers were giving me and experienced none of that with nvidia until specifically this issue on linux.

>>107657389I would wager that the m.2 slot is being shared by either SATA or PCIConsult the motherboard manual (downloadable .pdf from the manufacturer site)
When using a printer through a print server, does the printer need to be compatible with the client computer you're printing from? Or is that all bypassed and the printer only needs to be compatible with the computer it is installed on and shared from (the print server computer)?>my sister has a Samsung all-in-one from 2011>big ugly bulky old, but at least it doesn't have the hardware DRM fuckery of modern printers>she's getting a ARM-based Mac M4 Mini soon, maybe for Christmas or in January>it is almost certainly not going to be compatible with the old printer that only has x86 drivers etcSo I was thinking I could send her an old x86 Celeron Windows computer, install the printer on that, and share the printer on her network, so she can still use it from her new Mac.Will that work, or will the fundamental incompatibility between the Mac and the printer still be an obstacle?She lives overseas so I don't want to send it or buy a cheap fanless mini PC for no good reason.
>>107657434I checked the manual and the page on their site, but it doesn't say anything about that. I am using a sata though, so I am disconnecting it and see what happens
My PC only boots if I turn off the PSU hold the power button for 30secs and then turn it on. What does this mean?
>>107657504Using a print server means the client sends the document to the server, and then the server connects to the printer and prints it. So no the client doesn't need to be compatible.But are you sure it won't be supported? There are some standard printing protocols, not every printer needs a bespoke driver. It's also possible that there are projects to support it from the OS's side, basically a rewrite of the drivers - look up if there's any way to support it in CUPS for example. Now macs don't run CUPS but if a macbook has no way to install drivers that are available on linux that would be truly funny
