for example a facebook for your little town

>>107679128
impractical. facebook and other big tech shit only became as big as they are (and staying where they are) via having the pull to force everyone to come to them because all their friends were there, see DISCORD for a modern example

>>107679154
its not impractical its trivial to do and most people would appreciate just talking to people in their own town
you dont need every single person in town to use it, slow and steady growth and then it becames a staple of the community
just keep making excuses for actual solutions though faggot

take out lockheed and insert [some shitty american corporation]. that's what it's all about - except american corporations are decades behind and have been relying on china for as long as they've existed. trump doesn't understand this part. there's not going to be some american revolution in drone production. these american corporations will use the same chinese made parts already used in drones, put an american name on them and sell the final product for 4x as much because they had to pay mexicans in some shithole usa town instead of using chinese labour.

Pretty much this. Anything with significant money at the end of it is going to be filled with pasionless people trying to find a way to minmax the time it takes to get to the money by looking for a clear path A to B without ever trying to explore things on their own.
This is why academia manages to stay relevant at most fields despite being smaller and paying much less than the industry. The people that stay in academia actually enjoy exploring new ideas for the sake of it.
It is also why the people who worked at a field before it became lucrative seem like such giants compared to the average person that came after them.
The current average SWE wannabe approaches software engineering from the same angle that people approached finance in the 2000s.

>Less than $800 total
Well, that's not a ton. For electronics, it leaves mostly chink shit. Topping MX3s would do everything you want in one unit for $200, but reliability is a point of concern. Yamaha R-S202 from OP should be more reliable, but it's big and you'd need a DAC in addition. Could make do with an Apple dongle (and another one for your IEMs), or maybe Fiio K11 or Topping DX1 or an interface with a good headphone out like the Yamaha UR12MK3 or Topping E1x2 mentioned above (the latter has significantly lower noise on the headphone out, which may be relevant for IEMs).
As far as speakers go, I think the Kef Q1/Q3 Meta from the OP or the older and cheaper Q150/Q350 might be a good choice, since coaxial has some advantages, especially in nearfield (suitable for even very small listening distances and some more wiggle room with speaker placement). If you're interested in alternatives, have a look at https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/passive-speaker-recommendations-for-usa-by-sweetchaos.28296/.

>>107674868
It's mostly one schizo. Also, they did release some products with issues, like the exploding L30 headphone amp or their stuff with PEQ which generally seems to be a buggy mess.

I have a couple laptops, one Asus Windows one and a Macbook. I also have a TV with an old but pretty good Denon AV receiver. I have a media PC plugged into the TV and AVR with a fiber line directly to the AVR. I use my headphones to listen to all of them, Shure SRH840A.
My question is WHY does it sound so much better to listen to music from the AVR than from the laptops? And even in the laptops the Mac is a lot better than my cheap Asus. Like... what is different? If I listen to the same exact audio file or YT video, aren't they all just sending the electrical signals over the headphone wires anyway? It's nuts... fucking nuts...

>>107679293
There's differences in the circuitry that turns that audio file's 1s and 0s into a combination of sine waves, and even more differences in the circuitry that makes the drivers in your headphones move to said combination of sine waves.
Basically, the Asus' headphone output sucks, the Macbook's is actually quite good (if it's a modern one, otherwise it's just okay), and the Denon AVR might have a whole dedicated headphone driver circuit inside.

APOLOGIES FOR THE WORLD WALL but this my last post ITT:
TLDR: C.* is a big familly, let's keep it that way.
I have not actually tried that because I have no reason to do it. I think largely we are in agreement actually... with a slight difference that I would recommend continuing to use C++ as sparingly as possible and as simply as possible to bridge the gap between the hardware and C#. I do see .NET Native and AOT as an attempt to build out toward what you are seeking or perhaps it is already there: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/native-aot/cross-compile
but again, other than to answer you, I have no real reason to find out. I see no reason really to abandon C++ altogether; alot of the "problems" come from "genius" programmers doing unecessarily complex things in C++ which could have been achieved very simply by writing C++ in a C style.
I largely believe that RUST is a lame attempt to solve a problem that does not exist. Just write cleaner C++ code that makes what you need from the device accessible to C# with the anticipation that maybe, one day, maybe it can be C# all the way down but that is also, in a way, may be attempting to solve a problem that does not exist too.
I get that in alot of ways, oh too many ways, Microsoft is absolutely fucking retarded and the fear is that such retardation with creap into C# but it has not happened and is far less likely to happen than RUST never maturing enough to avoid being a pile of regret, and C# retardation is far less likely than C++ becoming enshitified with self-inflicted stupidity out of competition with RUST.
I also suggest that the reason C# kind of stole this thread is because for once C# actually got some love on chans. C# is fantastic. That's why C# programmers continue to use C# (and are all too happy to write a little C++ to make it all work) instead of hopping onto a bandwagon full of pythonic rustophiles that just cant. get. passed. irrational. C#. hateration.

>>107662424
I stopped using C++ when annouced the C++26 features, these people are way too retarded to have power over a language.
really, an official algebra lib? go fuck yourselves, you don't know what the millions of C++ devs actually want, there are maybe less than 10 people world-wide who would like an official std algebra lib with an api that will NEVER EVER receive a single update because it will break the (un)holy abi (that does not exist in real-life and no one cares about it btw, it's all madeup is their sick minds) and they're all in the C++ committee, probably paid to destroy the language by microsoft or oracle. it's beyond worthless especially when the language have been decaying without any care from the committe for well over a decade now.

I can't use any official data structures except vector because they're all incredibly subpar performance and api-wise, std::format barely support any feature from libfmt, rangesv3 is doa, concept/contract syntax is pure retardation, the constructor situation gets worse with every update.
I also can't accept how they dealt with safe C++ and instead went with profiles from strousup, anyone who heard the guy talk recently know he is not up to the task anymore, he looks/sounds/behaves like a senile person and should stay the fuck away from any language meeting and should let the functional adults do the work (ie no one currently in the C++ committee)

I upgraded to C, C23 is a very fine upgrade to the language and I can't wait to see what they'll do with C2y, it can't be worse than their C++ counterparts, they know why people use C and why it's the language that will outlive all of the other and even humanity.

some day you will all come to attain the true power that is knowing everything made by the hand of man is shit and bad, including (You)r favorite programming language.

I work as a r&d swe doing hard stuff daily at the frontier between swe and ee, at work we've tried for fun all the best chatbots on the market in their best version just one month ago and the results were as expected :
they're all incredibly dogshit at actual software engineering, we're not building rockets but we're solving actual real life issues and even the best ones could not rivalize with the less skilled workers in my team and it's getting worse as the context grows, I've seen microsoft releasing a few papers on the subject (you're not a swe if you don't read papers, btw) so we'll see how it goes, we shall see in a few years if it changes.

it seems that nocoders grifters are the most scared of getting replaced by software and coincidentally the most outspoken for AI adoption for software engineering have AI products to sell, funny how this work ;^)

>>107678911
we still have years so it's fine.
also not everyone will be able to spend the multiple grands a month the next-gen software will require.
you didn't think the current $£[20-200]€/month sub would stay the same forever, right? a single request on the bigger model costs more money that that...
also with enshittification being an inevitable outcome for any product, the cost of these sofware loicense will become unsustainable for piss-poor results making people more cost-effective than software, we can also cut the wire and the remote AI stored in the US suddenly can't do any work any more, it would be a real shame if fibers get cut aroudn the planet once our AI overlords started to replace us...

yeah sure because every small company will shell out the 100 grands needed to host a 200 quadrillions parameter model that cost most than 10 local engineers everywhere on the planet but the us just like that?

That it often trading dynamics and clipping for loudness, to compensate for shitty speakers that don't go very loud.

>>107677607
>Cinema and broadcast isn't mastered to be as loud as possible, but to conform to some specified average loudness, e.g. -31.0 LUFS for dialog according to Dolby or -23.0 LUFS according to EBU Recommendation 128.
And if that doesn't translate to sufficiently audible volumes on your cheap speakers with the master volume turned all the way up? Also these standard levels don't apply to random home videos and amateur YouTube content.

>>will no longer boot
How exactly will the machine not boot? is there any error messages?
Does the bootloader (I assume it's grub) work?
If yes, does the kernel load?
If yes, does systemd load?
If yes, do you get a TTY login screen?
If yes then your system does indeed boot, but you have no GUI, in that case it's easier to fix, and the issue is probably with the login manager and/or desktop environment.

>>107678778
One big problem with graphical software managers is that they will sometimes remove conflicting packages without telling you, potentially borking the system, i am not sure if this is exactly what happened here but it could be possible.

>>107678972
>How exactly will the machine not boot? is there any error messages?
The software won't boot, the machine still does

>>107679002
What is your login manager? can you launch it manually from the TTY?
I'm going to guess you're using lightdm and systemd, in that case try running
>sudo systemctl status lightdm.service
to see if your login manager is running, if it's not then run
>sudo systemctl start lightdm.service
to start it manually, if there are error messages then post them so i can see

>i must spend 12 hours a day on 4chan babbling about other people wasting their time

>>107679005
afaik Unix is trademarked and requires an OS to pay the Open Group and must pass the SUS test to become "Unix". I think Huawei made a Linux distro that complies with the tests and paid the fee, so its technically Unix. So while BSD is basically Unix, it can't be called that because of legal shitflinging.
