what do you think about Dell Pro 14 Premium, is it worth it over a for example apple laptop?

>>107646261
I think it can optimize performance and offload tasks if you use Microsoft Copilot™

I'm also wondering this. Can I run local LLMs better than a GPU?

The tolerances required of a ballpoint pen would be inconceivable a century ago, but they're cheap disposable objects.

Iron in the Bronze age was considered an extremely rare commodity, often only able to be extracted from meteorites.

Rare things become mundane objects as we become better at production, through practical skills and knowledge.

They're fake unfortunately, the room gets so little light but it's a nice looking one from IKEA.

So very similar to my setup. I disabled vitals recently though for less visual noise. I used to use GSonnect, but eventually disabled too... Same reason. Got notifications on my phone enough so was happier to keep the desktop less distracting.

Did you face any of the wine issues when upgrading to Fedora 43, assuming you've been using Fedora a while now? I had to uninstall and it was sort of a PITA. Stop haven't reinstalled and technically it's fine/I don't need to but I know the next time I need to quick run a hacky Baldurs Gate 3 multiplayer mod patcher .bat I'm going to need to reinstall

I'm trying to install fedora on my thinkpad t14 gen 2 intel and it's been a PAIN IN THE ASS
Do you guys just use windows 11 in your thinkpads?
There's simply no way to make this shit boot from the fedora usb drive I made. I already updated the BIOS and there's simply no "microsoft 3rd party shit" that everyone tells me to enable
Installing on my pc was so fucking easy, I dont get it

Unlimited budget. macOS fag here. Which thinkpad? Give me power folks.

How do I convince my local e-recycling centers to let me take their e-waste?

Sucks that I missed out on the time period where reselling ThinkPads was profitable--not that profitable, but at least you got to work on them and make a bit of money; it's more of a hobby than anything else.

What's your take on 14 inch screens? Thinking of finally upgrading my old shitbox after support for my GPU ended and maintining the system became a pain in the ass, but 16.4' to 14' seems like a significant downgrade.
I mostly care about being able to comfortably have 2 code windows open on a split screen

Is OpenBSD a good choice for servers?

>>107647365
For many reasons yes. It comes with a very easy to use (and effective) firewall, has all unnessecary daemons disabled by default, has pledge and unveil for sandboxing applications, and is constantly being audited for security issues. It also comes with a lot of documentation and homegrown software that is easy to configure. Releases are stable but whenever a new security problem is found all you have to do is run syspatch and then it's taken care of, you don't have to upgrade anything.
However if you're running a server that will recieve a lot of traffic FreeBSD may be a better choice, it has jails, ZFS, the fastest network stack of any OS, and a bigger ports tree. A deficiency of OpenBSD is its lack of support for journaling filesystems. You could use FreeBSD as a load balancer and OpenBSD as a backend if you find that you like OpenBSD, maybe by running it in bhyve.

>hurr, why is there so much China propaganda itt!?
>*attach idiotic western propaganda article, that you have to be braindead to believe*
This is why everybody hates you and cheers upon your slow and steady collaps

>>107647286
It's a sham democracy... a show put on to give legitimacy to the oligarchy, which lacks leadership vision and only knows how to act parasitically. The Chinese oligarchy is winning the mandate of heaven because they're building new shit. Mega cities, high speed rail, dominating manufacturing, etc.
The corrupt jewish oligarchy in America only knows how to suck value away from systems which were built by previous generations. And they know collapse is coming, which is why they want to force everybody into "you will own nothing and be happy" digital ID techno-feudalism and slavery. They're just going to stifle everything and tighten the screws to maintain their grip on power.

Imagine unironically posting this.
Or you are aware of just how dumb this sounds, so you accuse others of posting propaganda while doing it yourself, to avoid getting crushed immediately.

I dont believe your article, therefor i am a CCP shill. Heil Xi Jinping. Heil Putin. Heil Kim Jong Un.

>I is also compatible with C/C++
No they removed that. Also, the zig compiler has never successfully built the full version of itself. It can still only be bootstrapped.

for low level languages, you benefit heavily by being (very) familiar with C semantics. This applies doubly so for meme languages because you will eventually want to interface with C libraries due to sheer volume
knowing about some of c++'s warts also helps, because features are often motivated by what went wrong in c++

>>107645788
Zig is just so superior, but you should learn and master C first.

>>107645966
>I have heard that Zig has growing adoption in new languages.
zig is growing (barely) because it exists. there is hardly any new (non-meme) players entering the game. maybe a couple of currently pre-alpha projects will grow into some relevancy...eventually. otherwise, for people looking for something new and almost ready for v1.0, zig is all they got.

im learning zig by making a small game engine. its comfier and less trannycoded than rust

Do basic normie-tier MicroSD cards have any sort of wear-levelling?

>only card I have is a 128GB microSD card by mixza (although mine isn't a shark it's a jeeta)
>writing 128GB just to overwrite a few MB each time seems a waste
>think to self "I could just create a smaller ~1GB partition and thus reduce the writes by over 100 times!"
>but then I thought "What if it has wear-levelling, and even if I fully overwrite the 1GB partition, the data might have moved somewhere to the rest of the card, so it's still there after the partition wipe???"
So yeah, do I need to buy a dedicated small capacity card just for this?

>>107647297
Yes. All uSD cards have a FTL with wear leveling. If you try to use FAT on dumb QLC flash you'll have noticeable problems pretty much immediately.

It's 2025 but I still need a mail for some basic stuff. I want to say goodbye to my Hotmail account due to Microsoft's bad choices, looking for something more private. Protonmail seems ok, but a bit of a meme (not sure if that matters). Tuta is similar, but in Germany which makes me raise an eyebrow. Mailbox.org is located in Germany too, but you have to pay even for the most basic plan.

Are these the only choices worth considering? Any thoughts on Atomic Mail?
