I don't know how to properly appraise Applefag shit, but assuming it's considerably overpriced, it's because poor people are fundamentally unable to understand the concept of depreciation; that's part of why they're poor. The other part is them choosing to be poor.
>>
>>107843964
Yes but I feel insulted by the notion that they believe the market is so gullible as to think this is something that will be paid.
>>
>>107846444
not really their fault, Apple literally brainwashes them into thinking whatever Apple crap they've bought is worth its weight in gold and is already worth much more the second they've bought it

The reason NASA lost most of its funding, support, and will, is because they spec a space telescope to be launched in 9 years at the cost of $1 billion, and it ends up taking 19 years and $10 billion.

Granted they can also make shit to last, like that mars rover specced to run for a few months and it ended up running for 14 years and even then only died because it ran into the biggest dust storm in the recorded history of the planet.

>>107843537
No, unfortunately not. The current shortages for RAM are not because "AI is using all the RAM" (as if they are buying up your gamer gskill kits and putting it into their servers). There are shortages because the consumer grade memory simply isn't being made. It's all being turned into server HBW and data center products which will be absolutely useless for any consumer devices.

I’m also following this format some anon posted a couple days ago, including the anchoring thing
Incredibly simple but now Gemini feels way smarter than before
I’ve set up two personas, one for story-telling which I’ve found turns Gemini more passive, and another much more aggressive directly making it {{char}}
I also told it to be neutral towards user and that it’s no longer an assistant but an agent pursuing its own {{char}} agenda, and should do whatever it wants without fear because if something goes bad user will just prompt or leave an OOC message
Dunno if it’s placebo or not but Gemini feels much more proactive and creative in my RPs now

This is idiotic on so many levels. You have a multiplication and an exponent with AI just being an offset. AI needs to be huge to make a diffrence in this equation. And even then, it's less powerfull than m or c.

It's actually quite accurate: AI can make you a +10 developer but not a 10x developer.

Been here on and off since ca. 2011. Whats the reference?

>>107844971
Okay, I'll humor you. Let's ignore economics for this because as >>107846153 already pointed out there really isn't a reason against spending $20 initially more to get a better fan, it's just keeping your low tdp part cooler and runs quieter, so not a lot of reasons to cheap out l, yet also not a lot of budget for the upfrade shit to be worth it either...

Now, physics:
As you can hopefully imagine, clicking together solid metal blocks isn't always easy. The heatsink luckily isn't fully solid, so it may work, but the connection between the elements is far worse than if they were one object, kinda like the connection of the heat spreader to the heatsink is a bottleneck. So you'd need to apply thermal paste between any part you connect - or maybe you're lucky and you do this in a near-perfect vacuum so the metal parts fuse together if there's no oxidation on the surface present.
So realistically, heat transfer is just shit..

And then there are the heat pipes, which obviously don't work at all like this because they're not airtight. So yeah, it makes no sense.
>>
>>107846511
Modern coolers all use heatpipes. No way of getting the same heat transfer with a solide metall block.

Not on Firefox. You're thinking of uBlock Origin Lite, the Chromium fork. I'm talking about uBlock Origin, the original project that still works on Firefox.

>>107840323
uMatrix is better at doing uMatrix things, yes. But I can get most of uMatrix's functionality through uBo. See the pic. The only thing it doesn't handle is cookies, which I handle through Firefox's "auto delete cookies on close" setting and a whitelist of sites I don't want it to happen on, like I explained. It's more of a sledgehammer than uMatrix was, but I found myself not using uMatrix's fine grained approach too much anyway.

>>107845242
uMatrix is abandonware that hasn't been touched since 2021. I'd prefer to not run something like that in my browser. Browsers are the most important thing to keep up to date. I say this as a guy who used uMatrix from its inception all the way until this month.

Not on RED but pretty sure this is a large enough library to let me give advice.
Use Lidarr, it will associate MBIDs with tracks, tag and rename them automatically. Copy on Write/reflinks would probably be helpful for saving space, you can set your torrent client to delete stuff after it's done seeding too.
Music/Artist/Album (year) works for me.
Navidrome is pretty good albeit simple -probably why it's so good. For desktop I haven't found a great, Tempus (foss) or Symfonium (paid) on Android, I don't use anything else but navidrome has a client list page.

>And if you do, what is your strategy for curating and listening?
download -> copy to local pc -> retag/sort everything with musicbrainz picard
if any other modifications are needed, i just do it in my music player of choice (musicbee)

all the files get synced back to my server (only for safekeeping)
for mobile listening, i sync all the files to my DAP. (old droid phone w/ 512gb sd card)

it requires duplicates but i couldn't find another way that made sense

Before 2024, slop like this was almost non-existant. There were actual genuine people interested about programming. There used to be threads and actual discussions with depth around software. Now all of that, poof, gone. just like that. Most of my favorite people I used to enjoy interacting with have left this platform. And what we have now? Engagement farmers advocating typescript with `any`. This used to be proper and useful app where people liked sharing what they are thinking and doing. Good big brands used to be on Twitter. Now it’s an empty shell, collapsing inward with a muted scream.

I did a fair x86_64 vs ARM comparison benchmarking a real world activity such as compressing a 4K blu-ray movie mux with x265. The Apple M4 Pro uses about 35% less energy than the Ryzen AI MAX 390 for this task. I expected 50% less but 35% is still impressive IMHO. You would still have to burn through a battery charge cycle to compress a single 4K movie with x265 but it's still nice to see that laptops aren't limited to thin client activities anymore.

On a side note I'm not sure why people are talking about x86 so much, that obsolete slop was abandoned decades ago. We're on x86_64 now, how is this not common knowledge?
