Do you still put CD/DVD-ROMs into your builds?
>>106995991>still uses sata>talks of speedoh the ironing
>>106995817Ah, you got me.
I have a pile of old laptop DVD-drives that can be used with an USB cable for those rare cases when needed
>>106995817Yes. Walking around town buying dirt cheap discs then sticking them in my PC is an experience I'll miss when it's gone. I've discovered a lot of cool but forgotten B-tier games I never would have played like this.My main tower also has a dual hard drive hotswap bay, a multi card reader and USB expansion, and one of those cheap plastic drawers which I use to store thumb drives, SD cards, and USB cables. I hope everybody responsible for 5.25 inch bays going out of fashion dies very soon.
>>106995817yes, how else am I gonna listen and backup my CDs and DVDs.

>>106994481Dont you need all the email standards to not be dropped.
>>106994381Thank you for being a free email service accepted by my university, bank, and just about everything else I've tried it on. I used up my only phone numbers on silly gmail account names. I've even seen doctors use it for client interactions. I hope it continues getting more normal and doesn't blow up like some other 'private' email services.
>>106996310only dkim, spf and dmarc. but only for sending mails. stalwart automatically set them up for you, you only have to set the corresponding dns records. they're only certs and additional verification that tells other mail server that all mail coming from domain.com must come from a selected list of ips to prevent fraud.
It's one of the rare email services that doesn't rely on another email service when signing up. No joke, you make a hotmail account and I couldn't fucking login to it without using the backup email address to accept MFA tokens. Fuck that noise.Also yes, more people should self host email. It should be normalized that people just host their own email servers and that's how people communicate. Throw one up on a used $20 Pi from ebay and take a backup every week. Setting up all the security things is the easy part. The hard part is keeping your IP out of bad lists. A cheap VPS might also be an option.

The base model iPhone 17 A19 is very capable.The iPhone 17 Pro has the A19 Pro and today I tested Gemini AI on it which was running faster than my S25 Ultra doing the same image generation on Gemini. Smartphones are so fast now!
Can't believe this is the OnePlus 15 Geekbench results, but it's confirmed.
I'm going to buy my very first smartphone (to simultaneously replace my Nokia C2-01 from 2011, Nexus 7 2013 used as an e-reader and Sansa Clip+) and right now I'm picking between Motorola Moto G85 12/256 and Edge 50 Fusion 12/512. Is there a reason to pay ~$120 more for the latter (aside from bigger storage, IP68, which is nice to have but not critical, and seemingly newer SoC)? Also, since it seems that everyone are so eager to get rid of 3.5 mm jack (which totally sucks: I had to repair/replace micro-USB ports on my previous devices multiple times, but not once a 3.5 one, even though it had been in use much more often), should I also get a USB DAC?

>Google is continuing to slowly tease its rumored plans to bring Android to PCs, merging it with ChromeOS, and now Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon is getting in on the action. He says he’s seen a version of the software, and that he “can’t wait to have one.”https://www.theverge.com/news/784381/qualcomm-ceo-seen-googles-android-pc-merger-incredibleIt's happening next year and Google will take over the Linux space with their distro. Windows will finally have a Linux-based alternative that doesn't suck and people will flock to it from Windows and thus, many Linux distros will see no point in trying to compete with Google and just GIVE UP. Which distros and DE's will fall as soon as Google builds the OS that Linux developers should have made a decade ago?I predict: >Xfeces DE will die>Elementary OS will die>Zorin OS will die>Manjaro and all Arch-fronts will die>MX Linux will dieComment too long.

>>106995879None of them because any Google OS is going to be closed source and loaded with telemetry and other Google spyware cancer, and it WILL get enshittified as Google chases more profits from the project. People use Linux to get away from that.
>>106995879Chrome OS had been a thing for a long time.Android mini PC-s and STB-s had been a thing for a long time.Neither killed any Linux distro at all.Why would merger do?
>>106996192>None of them because any Google OS is going to be closed sourceHow do you know? Oh wait you dont lol.Only Play Services will be closed.
>>106996219>>Neither killed any Linux distro at all.>>Why would merger do?It's never been sold in storesIt's never been available to all PCs It's never had official supportThis will change everything. Windows is finally going to lose marketshare to Linux.
>>106995879>Souped up Chromebook OSLol. Lmao even.>>106996336Oh you mean the same people who are trying to kill installing your own software on your own phone? Yeah, really committing to those open-source principles
why dont other DEs have this?this is absolutely necessary for a laptop so you can use it in tiling on the go and nontiling when running it docked/with multiple screens and a mouse.i keep going back to check out cosmic because of this feature but cosmic still crashes and leaks memory so its still not good enough for prime time but the moment it's stable im switching. why the fuck dont gnome/kde/cinnamon have this?
This is basically a tiling wm except with wasted space everywhere, but I'm not judging.I purposefully use dwm with desktop icons, I dedicate the first workspace as empty so I can look at them, some people would call this an abomination.

Talk about headphones.Previous thread >>106941056
>>106995569because of battery or loudness? i've read decent things about both for the maxwell
>>106995586planars are heavier and crinkle and are easier to damage
>>106995630i have heard they're heavy, though my hifimans aren't much lighter and i never minded itill try to avoid throwing them at a wall, i have an old pair of audio technicas i can throw instead if i ever get the urge
>>106995556Yeah I'm also thinking about going wireless, HyperX Cloud 3 S are looking very good and measure better than most audio snob closed backs. I guess gaymer gear is the way of the future.
>>106995630>heavier Clamp force is more important to comfort than weight. Sennheiser HD600 is the most uncomfortable headphone I have ever tried (before I bent the band to lower the clamp force) even though it's light. Meanwhile, my Hifiman Arya Stealth which is significantly heavier than the HD600 is the most comfortable headphones I tried along with the HD 800S because they have very gentle clamp force.

Flux is even more censored than gpt-image
I just ordered this gaming PC. What am I in for?
>>106994181Look, heres the point. You bought a PC, which according to the ad, doesn't actually tell you much about the PC at all. A ryzen 5? Is that a 1400 or 9600? So where in between? "4gb graphics"? You don't even know what manufacturer that is. This is similar for everything it's advertising If your are just lay person and don't care, then I guess whatever, but I read articles of people getting essentially scammed like this, because they see an ad that is true, but gives them so little information about the actual versions of what they are getting, and it turns out to be junk from a decade ago.
