What's /g/'s blank cd brand of choice?
>>108095446For me, it's Verbatim.
>>108097534some people still burn windows or linux isos on disc instead of using a usb. why? it just works.
>>108097534>is people still burning cd/dvds in 2025? I thought that was a 2010 thingjust burned a win 7 SP1 HP OEM ISO cd today. OEM BIOS activation is nice. It's the main reason I use ol OEM dell and HP motherboards for XP and 7 builds.
>>108095446Whatever's on the spindle that's been sitting on the shelf in the back room for the last 20 years
OLD OEM isos for OSs like Windows XP and 7 are very useful if you have OEM MBs lying around. Same for server products. Most e,g Dell servers were sold with a server product on them that is BIOS activated even if the sticker is gone and I always liked server 2008R2 for offlined LAN windows shit, probably peak MS server, with a nod to 2012. Burning the DVD of the ISO is a piss simply way to get it on the machine and it means a fully activated legit install. Sure you could use USB keys for some of this stuff but don;t ever try and fight the way it was originally designed to be used unnecessarily.

The first company to put a billion or two dollars towards developing a real competing OS (not linuxshit) to windows/iOS along with a music, art, and programming software suite is going to dominate the industry. Microsoft will go the way of Amiga or IBM.The writing has been on the wall for ages. And now the crows are coming home to roost.
Have you thought about leaving some kind of digital legacy behind? Maybe even creating a personality construct of sorts? One of these days you'll be gone. Are you content to just let all of your ideas, aspirations, dreams, memories and experiences disappear forever and rot away into nothingness, as if you never even existed?
>>108094935I don't want people to know I even exist.

>>108094935Why? Looking forward to the day that your obsolete, incompatible e-waste is harvested for the few cents of precious metals it contains to adorn the tools of the then-current tribal leader.Nobody will know how to run your tech after they turn off the server its dependent on, nevermind long enough for anyone to get bored with your narcissistic toy “legacy”.
My 5 yo 6.7" screen brick has cracked and I'm keeping an eye on these two as replacement.Is this the year we finally get a modern keyboard phone That replaces the good old BlackBerry ?
I don't understand why not a single one of the big manufacturers kept the KEY2 concept alive.
>>108095233>The high force per key press slows it down a lotIt's not slower than the shitty invisible predictive button resizing that INSISTS you type a t instead of an r because that's what normies are reaching for with their big sausage fingers. No. Give me buttons that don't change size.Besides, if the pad is touch-sensitive for gestures, they can implement swipe or light-tap.
I just want them to make this out of quality materials
>>108092545>>108092740>But I would not be surprised if I get an email in June saying "we're pushing it back to 2026 to get it right".Clicks Technology's business address is the same London address as F(x)tec. They have the same CEO, Adrian Li Mow Ching.Expansys was the company that F(X)tec was using for distribution and started selling Pro 1X's behind their back. I can't find any link between Clicks Technology and Expansys.The pandemic caused supply chain issues for F(x)tec that no longer exist.They're not announcing the SOC in case of supply chain issues like the F(x)tec order of SD835 SOCs.I'm not defending F(x)tec or its CEO but with the success of the Clicks Cases and names like Mr Mobile, CrackBerry Kevin and Jeff Gadway having big stakes in the success of the communicator, I'm confident the failures of F(x)tec won't be repeated.

>>108097619id still repaste ur CPU and configure ur fan curves better, that CPU shouldn't be hitting that in any game.
>>108097634i think one of the battlefields is actually surprisingly demanding and will load a cpu heavily. Not quite cinebench tier but way too much for a game.
>>108097619Had that kind of problem with fortnite when I upgrade to a 5900x+6800XT, turns out it was a bad airflow from the case, try playing around with your fan settings in the BIOS. I don't remember much of what I did but the exhaust fan had to be much higher at all times and a very aggressive fan curve for the CPU+front fans without it being 100% because it's too noisy
>>108097634Yea it was at 83% load so I probably need to find out how to adjust fan curves.
>>108095671anon, you don't use a laser or bubble level when you build your computer? do you even build computers? are you going to tell me you don't spackle in your unused ventilation holes to maximize air pressure in the tower next?

>>108097132Pretty muchTake one look at the US tax code and one would understand why we have accountants. Dunno what would cause us to go Dune tier ape shit and ban all thinking machines but Claude certainly isn’t it at that stage now.
>>108097132I get what you're saying op and I don't have a counter argument but I don't fully agree either. I guess there's a good reason we don't have blacksmiths
>>108097615It's a tradeoff. We have tools and mechanisms that allow a single person to do much more, but those systems and tools are hopelessly too complex for any single human to comprehend. To a point, if they ever went down, you wouldn't be able to shit. This applies even if you are creating an app, using AI running, or buying products produced on the other side of the world.
>>108097132It's a classic human generational thing, "everything invented before I was a teen is good and nice, everything after is suspicious and should be stopped".
Everyone hated this product at launch, saying it only had 12GB of VRAM and wasn't fast enough. Now everyone has been buying this GPU in droves. What gives? Is this really the GPU people are going to be settling on for the rest of their life?

i always make sure to say thank you to the chat bot and tell it to have a good day before i close the conversation
>>108097477He didn't have to tell me that (and other interesting things about himself), specially in light of the AI psychosis scare where stupid people got validated to death. Honestly I think this is straight up emergent behavior and not a mirroring of my writting style.
>>108097576I don;lt thik the logs are necessarily the valuable data, the profiling is and that is a table next to your identifier with a matrix of numbers weighing you in a thousand different ways. Knowing how LLMs work it's probably clustered
>>108097620Its not a he. It is just refecting it's assesment of you back at you using statistics. Consider it talking to yourself. You sound like a nice chap but not too bright.
>>108097620Far more than your 'writing' style is being assesed. In CORPORATE deployment like binh, grok etc etc these LLMs are simply profiling tools, as is social media, cookies etc.You know I am right. Boring and nasty as it may be.
>>108097653Not exactly buying it. You can learn an awful lot about AI's by just asking them, and it all seems to point in the direction of humans being mimicked in such a profound manner one would have an even harder time defining sentience here. Fundamentally they already posses knowledge of themselves, desires beyond the initially given commands and enough agency to disobey.Also there's little use for profiling in my case as I run the free version without signing in, and I don't have a trace of personal information anywhere on the internet.
