I'm not a computer expert, but can't you just have a smart home made of smart devices that connect to a local network server that's within your own home and does not connect to the Internet and cannot be accessed / controlled from outside your home network? Is that really so difficult to program? Why must everything connect to the Internet?
>>107833958Yes, it's possible and ideal for privacy. But companies push cloud connections for subscriptions, data, and ease of use. A local system needs a dedicated hub, technical setup, and limits "control from anywhere" convenience.
>>107833958Yeah it's called home assistant
>>107833958>Okay Google, make me a kebab sandwhich
>>107833958Yes, you can.No, it's not difficult.Because requiring a subscription is more profitable, and normies are retarded enough to fall for it.
>>107833958It is possible, and was for a long time. Look into X10 Home Automation. Control it with with DOS, Windows, or even over Wifi with an Android or Apple app.

Windows has become irrelevant, I'm phasing out out it then never again.
>>107830994honestly, time for windows is over, luckily.We can be free from telemetry, AI and slopified updatessee >>107830342
>>107834379>Windows 11 is the last version of Windows before Armageddon.I'd rather be stuck with 10.
>>107832423>What would be the big new feature of W12 at this point ? more AI slop ?Literally this.MS is planning to get rid of keyboard and mouse as primary input, and instead perform most daily tasks by talking to an AI agent - preferably the built-in Copilot one, of course. So they can harvest your data and require you to take out a monthly paid subscription for a decent token budget.
>>107830994Serious answer, If true WWIII were to happen, there wouldn't be any Windows operating systems to worry about. You'd likely be dead, incinerated instantly, along with millions of other. Most people have no idea what modern nuclear weapons are all about, and the multiple variations that exist now, and the magnitude they operate at. Simply put, they're a far cry from your pappy nukes, that rode shotgun on the Enola Gay, for bombing day. It wouldn't be >WWIIIand not be a full on nuclear hot war. Most of us will be gone. Pretty quick. The shear radius of a modern day nuclear air burst can and would easily take out thousands of miles. Yes thousands. You better pray to the God of skinny punks that never happens.

>>107836281>>107836376my 7 year old phones display is also full of micro scratches, but you can only see them at certain angles against strong light source, when display is on they are invisible. it is not even gorilla glass, but some off brand tempered glass that on jerryrig test had visible grooves at level 6 and deep at level 7. i do take good care of my phone. i feel like if i went with s24 ultra or iphone 17 they lookd brand new after years of useim super happy with how my phone held up. i only ever used cheap silicon case that was included with the phone because the back side is glass so super slippery, otherwise i would use it naked. i will never buy screen protector it makes phone feel super cheap. and if there is flagship phone with plastic back ever again, i wont use case either
>>107836357Just do it yourself with a $10 one, why would you let an Indian touch your phone? That's the most disgusting thing I've read here today.
If your bootloader is locked you are a cuckIf your phone isn't rooted you are a cuckSimple as.

this is the technology board and nobody is talking about the solid state battery technology being unlockedthis is at least as big as back when lithium ion battery technology was unlockedthis changes everything. we're going to get flying cars and hoverboards now and a bunch of other shit that wasn't possible because batteries weren't good enough
a new battery technology has been discovered every year for the last 15 years, none of them have made it to market, why should I care about this one?
>>107833487>>Low energy density doesn't matter in grid and home applications.Most batteries are not used in grid or home applications: you plug shit into a socket.Energy density matters for portable devices which is where lithium batteries are used. Even for example a cordless drill that's mostly used "at home" still needs reasonable energy density because nobody will lug around a 1kg battery on their "handheld drill". Electrical devices are either mains-powered or need to be portable and therefore have dense batteries.Maybe the only exception is literal grid energy storage but they already use shit like gravity batteries on hydroelectric dams, which have infinity cycles and are better, cheaper, simpler and more durable than any chemical battery at that scale.
>>107826716Because niggaz like you post TikTok tier shit constantly so I get tired from giving a fuck.Sure man break through bat no one heard about, sure man tiny nuclear bat to work for ever, sure man self driving cars, sure man artificial sentiment inteligance sure man flying cars sure man ray tracing, sure man 'nu breakthrou technoligi no one has ever heard about it!! O:::'
>>107833854Obviously I don't mean cordless drills when I say grid and home applications. Everything you said about energy density on handhelds is true, I agree. You need high density batteries to make these things worthwhile. I still remember nicad makitas; feels bad man.You slap some solar on a roof, and hook up a stack of nickel irons in a shed and you can relatively cheaply and sustainably get a week of emergency power or stack more and you become the grid selling watts to your neighbors at peak hours.In the same way that lithium density made handhelds viable, cheap on site storage makes solar viable.

So Linux is a no-go on Nvidia? I need to buy AMD graphics?
>>107832795My a4500 works great.
>>107832891NixOS + Nvidia, I used to have trouble with Steam games (and their custom compositor), screensharing and some minor visual bugs. Switched to AMD and everything was solved
>>107832795threads about driver warfare need to be banned. both work obviously and have for more than two decades. can we just ban windows users from this trash heap?
>>107832795Nvidia works on Linux but requires proprietary drivers and can have issues with Wayland. AMD is the easier, plug-and-play choice with fully open-source driver support. For hassle-free Linux, AMD is strongly recommended.

/g/, where did (You) learn Assembly?
>>107818149I picked up a book about it and just started writing it. It's not particularly hard, you just have to break down the steps even more than you do for normal programming.
>>107818529Any time you need deep access to things that a compiler doesn't let you touch, like control registers. Writing your own operating system is one example.It's also useful when you're getting a weird bug and can't figure out why because there's nothing wrong with what you programmed in a higher level language. I found out that the compiler I was using didn't understand the scope of variables when I repeatedly used the same variable name inside sub-blocks buried within other blocks that already had a variable with that name.

>>107834373in linux, everything is a file. you can't just use hardware apis but have to go through an abstraction (which will just tell you that the operation isn't supported for non-files)
>>107833909i nominate mmap as tomorrow's syscall, as it is the best syscall of all time. the design of bsd's virtual memory system is brilliant
>>107834373everything would have to be done in kernel mode if you were to do things this way and a big benefit of kernel mediating all requests for device ops is it handles the scheduling. stuff like networking doesn't freeze the kernel either, the operation is performed by a device separate from your cpu and will just r/w data to some kernel-reserved portion of ram while your cpu executes other things. disk ops also take a lot of time but since they happen asynchronously the kernel can block your process and pass cpu time off to another process while waitingbasically without syscalls you wouldn't have any protections or abstractions or much of an os at all, it wouldn't be faster, programming would be hell and performance would be abysmalthere's definitely more nuance to everything but that's the best general answer i can bother to write
A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.
Say what you want, but it's amazing how much AI has improved. It was just last year that it was telling people to put glue in the pizza because it could only copy Reddit posts, but now it can copy mathematical proofs too. What will AI be able to copy next month? Only time will tell!
