>>107700638There was a attempt to crowdfund an ExpressCard to M2 SSD adapter specifically for thinkpads (the brand was Thinkmods), which might've been interesting to you, but I don't think they ever shipped anything IIRC. There are similar chink devices though.The ExpressCard to M2 NVME will not have NVME speeds, due to the ExpressCard's speed limitations, which is about the same speed as SATA II. You get extra storage that's about the same speed as your regular SATA drive, but it's extra storage.
>>107720006Correction, on the X220/X230 you should get SATA III speeds. It's probably still a waste to slot an especially fast NVME in there
Is there a tierlist or infographic for the best models for what prices? Just need it for cap cut video editing or PC replacement when im working outside of the house. Dont want to spend too much on it
>>107716057>24GB40 GB works, but good luck getting a 32 GB stick for a reasonable price.>>107716753I would say no later than T14 G2. It's the last model that's remotely tolerable when switching from a T420 keyboard.>>107719618Ignore it. It's always lurking waiting for an opportunity to say>>amd>nopeThe only reason to avoid AMD on this model is if you need a discrete GPU.>>107718595You can put any screen up to FHD. The hardest part is ungluing the bezel from the stock screen without damaging either.
when do you think it will be socially acceptable and safe for NPCs to finally accept AI? what would need to happen for them to suddenly do a 180?
>>107720108>creating slop text isn't a real taskthere's literally an entire world of corporate office pen-pushers that do exactly that while being paid a salary.their entire work is about writing emails, making slides for their infinite meetings, designing a 100 and one internal corporate reports and slacking in the meantime.all of this is what AI does effortlessly, it might even do it better than your usual corporate drone.>>107720108>claude chatgpt grokall of these are shit after the release of Gemini 3 Pro. well, until one of them releases the next gen of AI models.GLM-4.7 is a good competitor though, for now.
>>107720194no, their work is to be a flunky to the man. there's a specific man they suck up to. the man sucks up to another man all the way up to ceos.if there are no flunkies, who the fuck's gonna sit through all that bullshit?>all of these are shit after the releaseliterally all llms are the same since chatgpt came out. image generation improved. llms, not really.
>>107720233>their work is to be a flunky to the man.we are talking about corporate headquarters that can take entire buildings, CEO don't care about entire floors of people and what they do as long as they look busy or prepare flashy reports, you only need to suck up if you need to get promotions and such. Otherwise, these people are getting paid for doing bullshit nevertheless. It's basically adult daycare at this point. With AI they could replace your usual Strategic Integration Division, Legacy Asset Management Office, Statutory Reporting & Governance Assurance Department etc.>literally all llms are the same since chatgpt came outthen you are not using them enough to notice the difference.the video that I've referenced here >>107720020 demonstrates clearly how much progress has been done in comparison to previous gen.
>>107720311>we are talking about corporate headquarters that can take entire buildingsyea and kings used to have palaces. there's a lot of flunkies, what can i say.>then you are not using them enough to notice the difference.o am well aware ai never sleeps. is there a video where an llm completes some sort of task? little crappy demo it stole off github isn't a use case. i try to get chatgpt to write the features i actually need, and it never fucking works. at best it can just suggest a framework, if the feature already was solved.
>>107719987nigga, try the new AI tool by googleThe bot don't read the whole text, instead it do text search by making scripts. It can also do simple interactions with browser. With moore law o algo it won't be long before the bot could use the whole computer or phone
They still want $150 for one of these things, even after all these years.
>>107720368Just buy a cheap Casio you dolt they are a third of the price and just as good/better
>>107720368Specialization tools are expensive regardless of their cost, just because whoever has them can pay a shit ton for them.
I've never found a usecase for these after school but I'm also not working in a stem field. Where do people actually use it?
>>107720394Why wouldn't I just download a random graphing app?
>>107720402They were very useful (and expensive) if you lived 1970-1990 and worked a STEM field. Today? Just a cool piece of tech that is still practical for exams, really.

Does anyone know anything about Comcast's repeat infringer policy specifically? I've gotten some DMCA notices lately and can't be fucked to get a seedbox/VPN until I have no other choice.As far as I can tell, the following are true:>Although nor foolproof, you're significantly, significantly less likely to get a notice if you stop seeding immediately after the download>I've only gotten notices from Paramount, other companies either don't send them or don't do so very quickly>Comcast has a nine-tier system, and you only trigger a new tier after getting multiple DMCA notices in a calendar month>Tiers 1 to 3 or 4 are just emails>After that, you start getting popups and might have to call Comcast to get them to go away>Tiers 7-8 shut your internet off for 8-24 hours or until you call them and promise to stop>Tier 9 gets you a 180-day ban from Xfinity servicesI have these questions1. Can the tier system activate only once a month at the end of the month (the only time I got a tier upgrade/warning email was one time at 10 AM near the end of the month), or can it go up multiple tiers in a single month if you keep racking them up?2. Do tiers go down if you've stopped torrenting or haven't gotten caught for a few months to a year, or will you go to tier four if you were at tier three and download two torrents four years later?Comment too long.

Just ignore emails. Do not deny or agree to anything related to this.

>>107716758>>107716809They'll cut your internet off if you "just tell them to fuck off" or "just ignore it". They're not going to care. They have a policy, and they'll enforce it; the key is just to work around it.And it's pretty lax compared to most of the other major providers. You get one freebie a month, you get a bunch of warnings before they do anything, and the vast, vast majority of stuff you download isn't counted.>>107718868I like their speeds, though. I'm going to keep doing it this way until I absolutely have to pony up for a VPN or IPT account, but I'll do those things before I switch.

i feel like a lot of posters ITT missed OP's point. he's being subversive and pushing his luck on purpose to see what he can get away with. these are things I generally support, for sure when they're aimed at telecoms>>107716809oh yeah, just like if I get pulled over without a license plate or driver's license I can just say I'm exercising my right to roam freely as a sovereign citizen. good luck with that anon>>107716691for certain they'd be obligated to notify you if you got bumped up multiple tiers in a month. sorry I can't give more specific info but these policies are deliberately opaque, as you already know

so are gen z the kids bron from like 1997 that I keep hearing about that DID grow up with a smaller, less centralized internet, and DIDN'T have ipads and shit, or are you guys calling "gen alpha" (brainrotters) gen z and confusing the two again? Or is this all just you fags getting mad that someone is talking about this stuff without marvel quips every 20 seconds?
>>107716918>>107717124For me its>Back in da 90's where internet was le wild westGrind my gears every single time
>>107720306I'm of the opinion that everyone born after me (1990 and beyond) is wrong and bad. Now, that's just fact —which is a little confusing because it's also mirrors my opinion— but I don't make the rules. Every single soul born after me is wrong and does things the wrong way, they have trouble reading clocks or they didn't pirate via newsgroups so they don't have souls.Likewise I understand that to people born in 1988 that I am the cancer and I don't disagree, that's the way of the world they grew up in different times.What we can both agree on (I hope) is that regardless of 1988 or 1989 the problem is in the 1987'ers who got on the tech train too late in 2003 or who got online after dialup. So in that respect while someone who is born in 1990 is wrong on an ontological level, they can be okay if they went hard enough and picked up the computer at relatively the same time as myself and were interested in the same fields.None of us are really going to get on board with youthful social media influencers who grew up with the internet after WoW catalysm or XI post WotG. And being older doesn't make one superior, you can revoke your right to being accepted in society by doing stuff like starting a youtube channel or installing discord unironically.Generation is a state of flux but there's one constant: Most of the people born after 1990 are faggots and everyone born post 9-11 has no soul.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.what's your setup like?

You don't still use F-Droid, do you?
F-Droid is objectively more secure than the Google PlayStore and more secure than GrapheneOS itself.GrapheneOS depends on the single key of a Google-worshipping idiot living in Toronto, Canada who is doxxed.I could drive to his house, break in, beat him bloody, take his key and ship a malware update and there is no way for anyone to notice. At least not until someone finds out that Daniel Micay is currently tied up in his basement.... and how often is someone going to check on him?

=== /sec/ News:>Cybersecurity Employees Plead Guilty To Ransomware Attackshttps://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/12/30/1911201/cybersecurity-employees-plead-guilty-to-ransomware-attacks>Ryan Goldberg, a 40-year-old incident response manager from Georgia, and Kevin Martin, a 36-year-old ransomware negotiator from Texas, admitted to conspiring to obstruct commerce through extortion. Between April and December 2023, Goldberg, Martin, and a third unnamed co-conspirator deployed the ransomware against multiple U.S. victims and agreed to pay ALPHV BlackCat's operators a 20% cut of any ransoms received. They successfully extracted approximately $1.2 million in Bitcoin from one victim, splitting their 80% share three ways before laundering the proceeds. Both men face up to 20 years in prison and are scheduled for sentencing on March 12, 2026.
