Should I switch from windows 11 to windows 10? Is it a viable option despite no free support? I gather it's less of a mess and runs less like crap but I don't actually know. Windows 11 is kinda slow for me and it's always using an insane amount of memory.

1 Wikipedia article page saved as ASCII text takes up 25KB at the lowest.

So 10 pages would fill that one up of pure ASCII text.

anon your retardation is beyond the pale. I did not say I have worked every day since I was 13. I said I started working at 13. I had several jobs that were 2 or 3 week summer jobs.
my actual total amount of work experience is more like:

This all started because I needed to sign a legal document while being on the other side of the planet!

The final solution was to print it out and send over snail mail. Truly the amazing computer future of 2025!

You see the problem here?

Artificial leather disintegrates after some time. Sometimes it lasts less than a year, sometimes 5+, depends on quality. If you want maximum longevity, you're better off going for velour, gel + fabric, or real leather.

The main downside is eink and tablets are slow to turn on compared to paper. Also, tablets have a camera bump you have to deal with. Pens can get expensive I agree. I use printer paper and a stapler which is pretty cheap.

>Macbooks basically dominated the laptop market when they switched to ARM
it's still a locked down platform that is a pain in the ass to support and consumer-hostile, see asahi linux troubles to get everything working on various M generations.
>But now Intel has nearly caught up with ARM performance on its x86 mobile Lunar Lake chips.
yes because arm, x86, riscv, it really does not matter, cpu these days all have some kind of very similar "internal assembly language" that split all the uops into smaller instructions anyways, it's all about design tradeoffs, amd/intel have been making chips with certains loads in mind and apple with others, it's really all there is to it.
I'm glad to see intel and amd getting into this segment too as we definitely need power efficient and performant chips, it's a shame that it will be bga-only, for now amd allow manufacturers to use soldered or dimm ram but I'm not sure it will last as ram speed get faster and faster... maybe camm2 can save us?
I really want socketable efficient chips even if I lose a bit of efficiency as a trade-off, I'm sure there is a good middle-ground atleast for efficient desktop-class computers like the steam machine design-wise or consoles.

I wish the 7900XTX had FSR4 acceleration hardware. I'm kind of stuck wanting an AMD card but I need higher end than a 9070XT because I'm targeting 4K/120

If they had even a RDNA 4-based 9080 with 24GB of VRAM I would buy it without hesitation.
>>
>>107742904
You can force it supposedly. You take a small hit in FPS. I personally don't notice a fucking difference between DLSS and FSR 3/4. I'm sure there will be some screenshot faggot with 400% zoom on a static setting to explain why DLSS is amazing versus FSR, but I actually play the fucking games instead of taking screenshots to shit post on /v/.

X13 is not the same but none of them are. "Not the same" in what way? Even the X280 is not the same as the X220/30.

I believe the X13 is still closer in footprint to the X220 versus the X380/90.
