2026 will be glorious thanks to AICan't wait for the future in which nothing is real but generated by AI

I'm still not convinced towards 4k. Why in the fuck would I be convinced in this?
>>107676153The 52" 5K2K looks cool, but I wouldn't pay more than $1000 for it. I'll stick with my OLED G9.
>>107676507Finally, a monitor for me.
So they're getting rid of "pro" and using "AI" to market their products? Clever girl.
/g/, is there any point in learning the Win32 API in 2025?
>>107679394The dev experience will be worse. Electron provides a bastardized fusion of Chrome and Node.js both running their event loops on the same thread.With WebView2, you only get a browser web view. If you want to call any outside APIs, you have to write all the interop shit yourself and the page describing how to do it makes Arch Linux wiki entries look brief because of course it's all COM based.
>>107678993>compares aboutsaar
>>107678973Unfortunately, old programs that rely on bugs and undefined behavior are the norm, not the exception. Sometimes it's extremely aggravating since legacy apps can seem like they're working then shit the bed in unexpected ways.
>>107679559Windows had crazy backward compatibility long before WinSxS. It was just introduced as a way to deal with different programs wanting different versions of system-installed dlls in a cleaner and more automated way than tossing the relevant dlls into the folders with the exes in question.XP up through 32 bit 10 can run lots of stuff compiled for Windows 3.1 and before.64 bit versions are limited to 32 bit programs, and the oldest I've run is the Paintbrush that came with NT 3.1 which is the same as the Windows 3.1 Paintbrush except it's ported to Win32.
>>107679559WinSxS is pretty much not used by anything. The entire feature is mostly pointless. In practice it pretty much exists solely to support common controls v6.

>>107677274>>107677578oddly enough, medical and EMS was where I started before tech. after getting EMT certified I just stopped. during my clinicals everyone I was with urged me not to get into firefighting/paramedic(you must be a paramedic to be a firefighter in my state). The pay just isn't good. My new job is medical-adjacent. I work in a psych hospital that is state ran, so I'm now a state employee. I thought my tech job had good benefits and a good 401k, then I got a state job and holy shit it is incredible
>>107657874I've been working for 5 years and I might blow all my annual leave and resign.
>>107679684Good luck finding another job.
the only time i dont feel like a useless pos now is when im grinding leetcode
I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?
>>107679874Flac is not even audiophile. Audiophile is things like those fancy oxygen free cables and $10k amplifiers.If we make an analogy to food. Audiophile is like some pretentious 5 star restaurant with all those weird delicacies. Flac is just normal regular food. And lossy is Indian street vendor food, with extra feces.
The point of FLAC is archival and conversion, not listening. You can listen to it, but if you're doing things right your lossy files should sound the same as the FLAC.
>>107677878Ear quality is highly variable Some people are fine with Vorbis -q -1Others can ABX -q 10Most are in the middle somewhere And there’s a very wide middle
>>107680070Why would I keep lossy dupes around when I can just listen to FLACs directly
>>107680083Why would you use FLAC on something like a phone when you can just use lossy audio?
How do they have so many packages? Do they compromise on security?

>>107679937>The hotfix release 2.4.16 includes fix for infinite loop in GTK, which was caused by change of internal behavior in libcups on which GTK depended on, and workaround for stopping the scheduler if configuration includes unknown directives.yet the nixtroons haven't updated yet, so much for just works. literally trash tier distro

>>107673202Everything you experience in the physical world comes from your thoughts and mind that gets expressed from the subconscious into the physical world, The 1/3rd of your life sleeping is the creative process in which you experience the other 2/3rds.
>>107673123>>107673158>>107673186That's the whole Worse is Better philosophy except they used to say Moore's law would solve all the problems, instead of AI.
>>107676781I don't have to pay for proprietary software either. Most of it is free, especially these days.So guess who wins for 40 years straight?
>>107673123I'm not a dev, but wouldn't this be a good thing precisely for the exact opposite of the reason this retard claims?if """AI""" is so good at refactors, then why do companies even need programmers? might as well build software automatically... right? how long until they find out shit just doesn't work and their beloved """AI""" are unreliable pieces of shit?

>>107676977I do not need or require more.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

>>107679795Qubes is an OS which is based on a hypervisor, for using many different VMs to keep your digital life compartmentalized>But that makes no sense! Just use normal linux!Okay but then if you have ONE rogue program that achieves a privilege escalation (which is common on Linux systems) then your entire system is owned.It reduces the amount of "code I have to trust in order to not have my digital life owned" from "every single piece of code running on the system" to just the Xen hypervisor and default programs that come with the OS
>>107679901>which is common on Linux systems
>>107679906Yes, privilege escalation and unauthorized root access bugs are way too common on Linux

You used to laugh at this. How the turntables...
>>107678700They're used extensively in the media creation world and things like commercial photography, Windows is absolute ass for those uses and normies don't know shit about Linux, so it just leaves Macs. The silicon chips and OS also shit on Windows even harder now.The future is probably going to be just Apple and Linux at some point, since SteamOS will start raking in the normies that used Windows for gaming.
>>107678760>SteamOSonly small number of manchildren play games on their windows computers
>>107674569they have to soder those chips directly next to the processor, it's expensive. you get what you pay for.
>>107678733they can't lose billions of dollars every year forever, they also need to build nuclear power plants or there will be not enough electricity to power up gigawatt manhattan-sized data centers they are building right now. the majority of ai users are indians and they don't want to pay $200 every month for an ai subscription.the ai bubble burst is going to happen
>>107674725>>107678733So I'll take the first option, and spend a bit more on RAM.Problem solved.

>>107679886It's very on-brand for Americans that you think it was economy that was the point. Nobody with a brain would take the US to have been the dominant global power until after the wars.
>>107680036we kicked spain's ass in the 1890s and then single handedly won both world wars because yuropean "men" are weak, ineffective cowards
The sole reason why VLC is superior to MPC/V
>>107675884That 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.
>>107672291True... simple to use and sometimes i use it even for music. Easy to make lists, easy to overboost, easy to watch streams or youtube... it just werks.
I sometimes disguise my legitimate questions as bait threads just so I can get lots of replies from asshats who think they're oh so smart.
>>107672291Enjoy your clipping. You should be using an amplifier outside your PC.
>>107679299What do I do if I have a video where the audio is recorded at a really low level?
He posts hereDon't ask me how I know thisHe authored MINIX, his work used to create Intel MEI think it speaks to the quality of MINIX that Intel ME went as long as it did without an RCE, even when Intel ME was obviously mostly orchestrated by Intel's Engineering team (corporate software is notoriuously shit, and the developers who work in such enterprises often lackluster themselves)Yet Tannanbaum's core was so good even they managed to keep ring -3 safe for what, a decade?what do you cocksuckers think, he posts here, and i'm sure he'll respond
