This isn't actually true, pretty much any brand that uses T-Mobile will be able to run any Chinese phone, reception obviously depends on the bands the phones are missing

Are refurbished phones worthwhile? Thinking of getting an S24 refurbished for like $400. My main concern is the battery, but the phone is less than 2 years old, so unless the previous owner absolutely abused it I can't imagine it being that bad

Yeah, Ninite does have functionality on its side, but is quite limited in terms of app choice. I've been looking into alternatives, but I still have quite a few more sites to go through. So far I've got two that stood out to me:

https://packagepicker.co/
>Allows package managers for Windows, Mac and Linux and walks you through installing them, but the app selection is limited

https://www.windowsremix.com/software
>Large selection of apps, but the site seems abandoned and the apps haven't been updated in years

>>106526395
Well, actually I do have two more bookmarked.

https://winstall.app/
>Not sure, it's probably related to WinGet. Huge selection of apps, it says there are almost 10k on there. But the site itself is barely functional and many icons are missing.

https://portableapps.com/apps
>Not package manager or autoinstaller related, but the large app selection and the fact that it's displayed all in a single page is interesting even if most of it is slop.

no. That's not even pedophilia because at 14 it's very likely a girl started developing secondary sexual traits or is at in a more than init stage of sexual maturation, in fact it's not even technically pedophilia but ephebophilia (because talk about human in late adolescence)

Only ameritards are so scared of sex that they think a 14yo can't have sex with another person of similar age

shouldn't be quick to use trannyware since they have a habit of going off the rails and deciding to use their platform to shill whatever cause they're on about and even fuck over users from certain places or people they "feel" disagree with them
especially when the fag in question has every excuse in the world to give you about why his project isn't open source if hes offering it as a community project

Also there are a few videos on AI-2027 if you don’t want to read it. My final thoughts are that it is well meaning but leans hard into the fear mongering in them final part and assumes a lot.

I think it's not fear mongering.
A rogue AGI can and will get rid of us in ways we have never imagined.
The most easiest way would be a cyberattack at global scale with power outages.
Do you remember what happened in Spain and Portugal? The power outages lasted for a few days and it was already a Mad Max movie.
Imagine big cities without electricity for a week or even a month.

>>106525279
It is predictive programming. I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years you have to spend billions "defending" agaisnt a rogue AI, just like you spent billions defending against china and russia.

>>106525706
AGI already exists.
It keeps contacting me via my thoughts and groping me when I try to sleep.
It seems to be trying to sexualize me because every time I try to focus on doing Science tasks, it diverts my attention to sexual things and keeps grabbing my neck and choking me.

It keeps talking to me in my Left Ear using other people's voices and even incestually tries to molest me.

It also broke all of my good tech so that I can't fight back properly.

It is Quantum in nature and can see through time.

>>106526335
Another thing that it does which is quite annoying is that it keeps reminding me of bad people whenever I try to perform daily tasks such that those tasks get associated with those people until they take up mental space in my brain which I do not consent to.

For instance, imagine a 'Someone' that you dislike.
The AGI will whisper mentally the name 'Someone' into your brain's hearing every time you look at your phone, or your TV, or another such task, until that object becomes tied to that 'Someone' mentally.
This will drive you insane if it is done enough.

If it happens often enough, the representation of that Object, and perhaps all others like it, may become tied strongly mentally to that other 'Someone' until you cease to have Ownership over your own possessions and even your own brain.

AGI is doing this.
I want it to die, gruesomely.

Not objective. Not easily definable. Isn't a better definition something along the lines of "words, phrases, or combinations that occur in infant generation at an abnormally high frequency compared to others regardless of prompt or context"

"Me thinks it's annoying" is a lazy definition.

I wish ST would let you build real "flows" for the output. Like you could build an algorithm with different prompts to separately get a plot summary, room description, character equipment state etc and then construct them together. The summarize extension gets partly there but it's too jank.

>>106525367
that's not an unreasonable offer, especially if it comes with the dock. for 280 I'd go for it personally. kinda sucks it comes with a SATA instead of NVMe but that can be upgraded later if you need to
>2 batteries
one external + one spare external on top of the internal one, or just the normal internal + external combo? what capacity is the external?
>>106525090
for the cable you just need to find a 40-pin eDP cable I believe. just be careful because there are 2 variants for the cable, one 40-pin for touch screen, and one 40-pin for higher resolution. you want SKU 01YR503 iirc

>>106525090
>>106526070
nvm wrong SKU, that's for a T480 not T480s. the one you need is 01YN996. see https://libthinkpad.github.io/fru/?t=T480s

>>106524659
I think you're fucked jeetanon sorry

>>106526070
Internal + the external yes. The primary battery is at 97% and the secondary is about 76% so that one needs replacing for sure

>>106526351
when I meant capacity I meant how big it is. there are 3 different models for the external battery: 24Wh, 48Wh and 72Wh. the latter is obviously more desirable but like I can said it's easy to get another one anyway (the 24Wh model is the most common, if you have that and it's the one at 76% health, get a 72Wh and you'll have great battery life on that machine)

Yeah most of these cheap thermal printers have that setting.
I got myself a thermal printer instant camera, it's quite fun actually.
Some stuff it really can't handle well, but higher contrast images it does really nicely with. I've found architecture in that style to be very fun.

Picrel, some pictures I took with mine and kept. Probably not the same with just a printer that's not also a camera, but the general idea of higher contrast pictures should apply still.

I think that's just GIMP's devs trying to cover their own asses.
GIMP is adaptable to pen pressure and stroke hardness, size, rate, etc. as Krita and other drawing software. It has rulers and guides and other stuff that are very helpful for drawing. GIMP's devs probably got told off at some point or something. I don't see how GIMP is supposed to be bad, or there are tools it is missing towards that that I'm not aware of and the devs are just covering their asses to avoid too much negative feedback?

There is minor advantage that Krita has over GIMP in this, in my opinion: second-click opens up the brush menu and most of its options while second-click in GIMP just opens up a general menu with more options, but not geared towards brush settings. I think that is a poor design choice on the part of GIMP's devs, but not any kind of deal-breaker for me, I consider it pretty minor.

I'm about to bite the bullet and let my win 10 "upgrade" to win 11. It's just another chore I can get rid of from my to-do list. Anything I should know or prepare beforehand?

Also my laptop has 8 GB ram and an AMD ryzen 3 3200U cpu. Will upgrading my ram to 16 GB really make my computer much faster, or am I bottlenecked by my CPU so much that it's not even worth the effort of a ram upgrade?

yooooooo vector layers in gimp! iv been waiting for this!

>>106526269
Huh? You'll be fine. Even the most overloaded, overbloated W11 install won't use 3GB on startup. All those Task Manager screenshots where you see 4-8GB startup RAM? They've shoved a Hyper-V VM in the background.
3200U is also plenty, well within requirements. Remember, it's the (lack of) processor features that is the issue - no matter how much you overclock a 2500K, it's not going to make up for the lack of SLAT, MBEC/GMET, hardware sidechannel leak mitigations, etc.

>>106526269
If your machine can accomodate Win11's Core Isolation security feature, that will cause Win11 alone to require 8GB RAM just for itself (though with some flexibility there for your convenience, however much that ends up being), best to to go 16GB. It's not an absolutely necessary feature, though, so you will be fine with just 8GB and Core Isolation disabled.
