Are Crucial bx500 SSDs good for installing and playing games on?
>>106972382Old machine no nvme
>>106972373If you're stuck with SATA, that's probably the best CxB you'll get.As always, 3-2-1, regardless of brand and model. I have a few on clients PCs and only had one of them fail. Compared to Kingston A400, where 4 of them failed after <2 years on a 14 SSD batch, they're leagues better.Again, don't trust it to last forever, but the performance is fine for what it is. They're made to be cheap, but good enough. TBW iirc of a 240GB model is around 30, but most games are usually read-heavy, and not write-heavy, but it mostly depends on the game, so YMMV.
>>106972898Wow that seems pretty low. I’ve only owned my computer for 5 years and I’ve written 44TB to the ssd through mostly just casual gaming use. Would that lower capacity drive have just failed on me by now?
>>106973092Probably? I had a CX300, 120GB, that lasted 3 years. Ended up replacing an HDD at work on an older laptop, with only 4% of its life remaining. Not sure how long it lasted, since I just gave it away for lab uses.I'm checking the exact TBW of this SSD, and the 960GB version has 240TBW. I'm looking at this review from tomshardware:https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-bx500-ssd,5377.htmlI can't find the datasheet right now, I'm bumping heads with Zabbix at work :PIf I can find anything I'll post it here.
>>106972373No this SSD doesn't support games. Get a gaming SSD.
Mobile site fucked for anybody else on wifi? This keeps happening if I try to load the site on wifi, works fine on mobile data.My ISP is not blocking the site because it works on my computer and wifi works if I let the mobile data load the site up once but then if I close the browser and go back it'll be blank like this again until I load it on data.
That's not a bug, it's your phone's WiFi power saving protocol aggressively dropping packets from non whitelisted MACs.The initial load on mobile data registers the session, which is why it works temporarily. You have to go into developer options and disable "aggressive WiFi handover" and set a static DNS. This is basic stuff.
>>106973246It has to be a bug because it has never been an issue before this and nothing has changed.

Labor shortage and nobody hiring is not only not a contradiction, the one explains the other.The shortage of labour which SV bemoans is a shortage of skilled labour. I have no reason to disbelieve e.g. Jon Blow when he complains about this. But why is there not enough skilled labour? It's because nobody is hiring—at the low level. Nobody is hiring low-skilled workers with potential and building them into high-skilled workers.What both halves here need is some kind of stepping-stone institution where new grads are given challenging paid work that eventually turns them into skilled programmers.
ITS HAPPENING

I am using Krita's AI diffusion plugin. Krita's line detection filter works better than the built in ControlNet but outputs lines on white background instead of transparent.Does Krita has a tool to select white pixels and convert them to transparency? Need to turn the white background into alpha channel for better color application with my checkpoint.
>>106971828>>106971808Yeah, but if they are borrowing opensource models to make theirs, they should at least give back their tech stack, not the NAI finetune, just the tech.

>>106972720Thanks, I suppose so. I just squabble with the shitposters and post gens. If that's enough for schizodom, that's me.I think the last open source model they borrowed was SDXL with V3, now they don't.
Want to generate an image and add audio to it. I am thinking of using Suno or one of those AI music startups to create music and attach it to the image, then upload it here. Is there any free online service that lets me attach music to an image and upload it to 4chan as webm? I am not looking for anything fancy, just 10 to 30 seconds maximum
This is the root cause of why so many people hate AI. They are just salty that we don't need them anymore.
>>106971004No, the "real" artists also don't like having less new competition and having communities shrink.What's the solution to that?
>>106970239>Why do you think some anons react so negatively to these things anyway?because they have low self-esteem, low imagination ability (4 or higher on the apple chart), and low technical expertise. to anyone with an ounce of imagination, who is not themselves concerned with being made redundant, functional ai is the beginning of the glorious singularity we have all hoped for. the human species and our fucked up society will seemingly perish, but like a phoenix new forms of life and new societies will rise from our ashes. in fact it is happening right now under our noses. we needn't actually "die", that is merely a metaphor for complete, irrevocable social change.as to your other question i've never been a fan of like "40 lbs of pussy and ass" kind of sex toys, it has to be like a whole body or i'm not into it, but those are very expensive and hard to keep. i think it would be better if the cuddle-and-fuckbot is autonomous at least. it's still creepy from a normie perspective but it's not sleeping with a dead body creepy. then if its autonomous it should have a personality. i am interested most of all in constructing a human-like personality for a robotic being through compassion, love and intimacy in a way i cannot do with my desktop computer.
>>106967067Please stop parroting the retarded line that "AI uses fresh water". Literally no 1st world datacenter uses evaporative cooling, it's all closed-loop. As for electricity, I'm sure it's still less than your mom's vibrator.
>>106972154Absolutely Kaczynski'd.
>>106972225LLMS use several thousand watts per hour while a human uses 100 and while the human brain uses a tenth of that.Google's own AI says this.We're already in the shit with e-waste and data centers and websites using entire small country's worth of electricity usage.All because people want things easier and easier to no end and can't be bothered to learn things and gain skills and to be awesome as a result.There's many people better than me at my own creative pursuits, in music, art, writing etc and I celebrate the fact its what humans are capable of and an actual expression of a culture.Enjoy your globo homo pajeet AI models that are only derivatives and will only be derivatives.
Eric has failed us, he has literally one job, and that is to provide 25 puzzles, per year, on schedule. Now it's only a 12 day challenge, how can you even call that "advent" of code, which is supposed to count down to Christmas. I am outraged, and you should be too. What if Santa's elves just decided to stop making half the toys??? Ridiculous. >Also, starting this year, there will be 12 days of puzzles each December.>Why did the number of days per event change? It takes a ton of my free time every year to run Advent of Code, and building the puzzles accounts for the majority of that time. After keeping a consistent schedule for ten years(!), I needed a change. The puzzles still start on December 1st so that the day numbers make sense (Day 1 = Dec 1), and puzzles come out every day (ending mid-December).

Two questions:>1)I want to use LTS but not until 26.04. Until then I want to use 'rolling', 25.10. The reason is I have a laptop and want to use smart charging (cap at 80%). LTS won't have this feature until 26.04, but it's already in 25.x.So, is it possible to use 25.10 until 26.04, and then when I get there to 'change lanes' and hop over to the LTS lane from the 6-monthly lane?>2)I see a lot of people advocating for clean installs every major version, no matter the distro. I don't want to do that, I want to install once and then smoothly upgrade from version to version. Which Ubuntu lane is the best for that? I.e. which lane has the safest most reliable in-place upgrades, the least likely to bork itself in the process; 6-monthly (26.04 -> 26.10 -> 27.04 -> 27.10 -> 28.04 etc)? Or LTS (26.04 -> 28.04 -> 30.04 etc)?

>>106956878>Done with Windows, ready to switch to Linuxsee you in a week
>>106956878>So, is it possible to use 25.10 until 26.04, and then when I get there to 'change lanes' and hop over to the LTS lane from the 6-monthly lane?Yes, you can continuously upgrade ubuntu through every version available, although it's not recommended since it's not really well implemented, the best thing you can do is to use 25.10 until 26 releases and do a clean install, and then stay on the 26.04 version until 28.04.>I want to install once and then smoothly upgrade from version to versionI'd recommend debian or lmde without extra repos to achieve this, I installed lmde in my parents' laptop like 6 years ago and it continuously kept itself updated since then after enabling automatic updates.If you want an up to date OS that can be continuously upgraded through versions, I'd recommend fedora with gnome, it's probably the best distro for that purpose and a tad more stable than ubuntu, or at least less retarded error prone than it from my personal experience.
Welcome to the 4chan /g/ Usenet General Thread!>What is /usenet/?Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on (http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). Not owned by corpos, not under govt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection. They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyed by all.Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http, usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards. Join us and discuss such topics on one such protocol: NNTP, aka usenet.>WTF IS USENETLiterally it means the Users Network. It’s an open protocol for posting and reading messages, organized by newsgroups. It's entirely decentralized, no single server, impossible to take down.Today it is split between, binaries and text. The binaries part is what it’s known for today: piracy. The text part is forgotten and abandoned, until now.>WHY POST ON USENETIt's open protocol, you can use any client you want or build you own. No costs, no subscriptions, no money. You can sign up through your ISP, or through eternal-september.org. Then you just need to install a client.>THIS IS OLDER THAN MY DAD.

>>106971546>alt.cyberpunk.techThis started off as a fun group, but it recently devolved into just bitching about 4chan and not much else. Now it's just like a dead altchan where the only thing people talk about is "GRRR AT LEAST WE'RE NOT 4CHAN", then activity dies because they get tired of bitching about the same thing over and over. I know we've got problems here on /g/, but what's the point of ruining a cool group by obsessing over it?
>>106972487is this not how it works?
>>106972878This whole project has from the start been nothing more than the 4chan version of moving to Canada. It was never about going somewhere else to discuss things unmolested, it was always about running away from bad old 4chan - in fact, let's have a long discussion about all of 4chan's problems to the exclusion of anything else. Oh boy do I hate 4chan, wouldn't it be great if everyone left 4chan for the newsgroups? Yeah, let's go get everyone to do that...And so on. That's why some moron made a thread on /tg/ about this same subject, which attracted zero interest last I checked. I'm all for having somewhere else to go if this place gets shuddered, but for fuck's sake don't make it so obvious that all you want to do is make an altchan.
>>106972878>>106972944What did you expect from a usenet newsgroup? The cypherpunk movement is if not dead comatose. Talking both about developers and 4chan of old the entire crowd has moved on to different places long ago.
>>106973051the problem is more fundamental, who still browses this place? mostly just completely demoralized people and actual npcs. not exactly fertile breeding ground especially not if discussion is carefully guided at first. you need to establish that it won't just be hurr 4chan bad all day but i don't see that working with usenet desu

>>106967476>The system doesn’t work with just any random keyboard, it must be trained to a specific keyboard with references for what character each keystroke corresponds to.This is scary.

>>106972868I know this nuance is completely lost on some of you idiots but being manufactured in China is not what makes something Chinese.This push mower is made in China. It is made to an exact specification for an American seller, based on an old American mower design; the seller rigorously inspects it for QC to ensure it meets the spec. If you've ever used one, you notice its distinctly American character, made for the sensibilities of a certain kind of American merchant and American consumer. It is heavy, robust, utilitarian-looking, and requires some maintenance by the owner. It is, in almost every sense, an American product. But it is Made in China. The degree to which a product is Chinese is the degree to which it embodies a Chinese sensibility because of the Chinese involvement in decision-making about the product. This is on a spectrum:Chinese-designed product for the Chinese market >>> Chinese-designed product for a western market >>> American-designed product with broad leeway for the Chinese manufacturer to implement the design >>> Tightly-specified American design that nonetheless leaves QC/etc to the manufacturer >>> Full tight control of design, materials, QC, etc by a non-Chinese party using a Chinese manufacturer >>> Products designed and manufactured outside of China
