For not exactly being an 'open' platform, x86/UEFI really does give you a lot of freedom.

Why didn't they think of this 20 years ago?
I just bought one and it's unironically the best monitor I've ever used in my life. Nothing else comes even close to the quality of this thing. And that's not even considering the build quality of the stand and how smooth the height adjustment is. How is it that Apple always so far ahead of the entire computer industry with their high end products?
>>108352978>unironically takes apple ad seriouslyngmi
>>108353018so what is your point?i am a gook
So many impoverished thirdies sperging in any thread that mentions Apple products that cost over $1,000.
>>108347026They get paid for that. Nobody is spending thousands anymore on Apple's overpriced crap to do things a windows/linux machine can do for much cheaper.

>>108354363it'd probably help a little bit, but likely not as much as you'd think. for most software you still only need to make one version of a program, most distros are very similar. just target the oldest LTS distro you want to and anything newer will run the program as well, like ubuntu lts from one or two versions ago.as an example look at steam, the regular steam linux release is officially only for ubuntu, but people use it on any distro anyway.
>>108354407same as on windows (that is, not at all as long as it's not being used to access resources on the computer over the internet)
>stable distro>but it's OUTDATED>the packages are OUTDATED!I don't get itif it's stable that means everything works, right?
>>108354363>>108354425-- like even for software not like steam where you don't want third parties making packages/distributing it (steam can be found in other distro's repos as steam itself is freely distributable), making separate packages for a few distros isn't hard at all, it can be the same exact software just with a few automated commands to turn it into different package types. or use a generic installer (like GOG games do) or use a generic bundle format like appimagei will add that only having one distro won't help linux in general, one of the benefits of linux is that it is an ecosystem that be moulded to fit many more uses than desktop windows can (i say desktop windows but is windows ce even a thing anymore?)
>>108354441unless you're using brand new hardware that actually needs a new kernel/mesa/etc, or you just need newly made features/want the best possible performance... yea most people are perfectly fine using a stable/lts distro, and given no specific requirements i would recommend one by default
This doesn't look good, Sam!

How do I bypass VPN detection on Websites? Is there a way to know what exactly does the website look for to detect That I am on VPN?
>>108354360It is publicly listed as a datacenter IP address. There's no way to hide it. The only solution is residential VPN.
>>108354370any way to access non registered IP addresses?
>>108354370>The only solution is residential VPNI keep seeing anons mention this or residential proxies (probably the same thing), especially when it comes to 4chan ban evasion, but there's very little information about how it works. Can people just connect to them as they please? Aren't they supposed to be closed to outsiders?
>>108354424how it works:retards download botnet garbage (this includes videogame piracy btw, most retards don't realize this for some reason)computer is now sold as an exit to others
>>108354424It's easy. You pay a hundred dollars a month to access some guy's illegal sim card farm running free government obamaphones obtained using stolen identities.

fedora, 20% brightness, 4chan throughout the day. very nice... how much more juice with undervolting?
>>108309918Thoughts?https://connect.na.panasonic.com/lets-note/commercial-laptops/lets-note-fv4
>>108354060With the same setup (24+72, worn down to 20+66), undervolted by 92 mV (core/cache), 56 (GPU) and 28 (uncore), I get 12-14 hours of browsing. Also>is normal behavioryes>voltage curve drops quicklyyes>controller skips a stepyes, but not for the reason that it vaguely suggests. The percentage that it reports while the voltage curve *isn't* steep is always an estimate, and the voltage dropping near the end of discharge is one of the things that grounds these estimates. Usually once the voltage drops below a certain threshold (in smarter controllers this might be adjusted by the discharge current), the reported percentage jumps from the previous estimate to a hardcoded 6% or 5%.

>>108353578>>108353822it's like; have you ever opened a jpeg and it's got a miscoloured line through it? or opened a video and it has a messed up picture for a couple seconds? or a steam game that mysteriously works again after verifying it's files? because i sure have. never again after moving to mirrored btrfs. even traditional mirroring with mdadm which i used earlier isn't as good because mdadm doesn't know which of two mismatching chunks is the correct one
no /hpg/ so posting here--I'm looking for on-ear wireless headphones with a good mic. top of my list so far is the marshall major v. considered the porta pros and kph30 as well, but apparently the mic is garbage on those. what else should I be considering? ANC isn't necessary
>>108354276you're better off buying high end earphones and a mid tier desk microphoneALL headsets with mic are shit and overpriced

What are some cool addons to use your steam deck as a back up pc on the go? I'm hoping to maybe use teamviewer to phone back to my home pc. Are there any cool docks for the steamdeck with power pd, etc, etc. What do you guys use to use it as a pseudo laptop on the go?
>>108353907all i really use it for is to play rocket league against jeffrey epstein when im on my work layover and don't have access to desktop. sometimes i play skate or satisfactory as well. i wouldn't want to use it as a desktop.
>>108354015Do you dual boot? i'm thinking about either dual booting windows for my microsoft word stuff for class, or dual booting arch and just phoning home to my windows desktop. What's dual booting like on these devices?
>>108354015Or would it be better to just vmware a w11 image on the steamdeck? How do you think it would handle it? I just want to be able to game on the go since I have a lot of down time in my day, but also be able to use a non steamos limited os like arch or windows or phone home to my w11 desktop pc.
>>108354154>>108354174I dualboot win 10 ltsc specifically to play two games. it’s nice to have. both keyboards and my monitor have software that obviously only work in windows and macos so I just hop on over to my windows partition when necessary. super easy, just ran the clover install script and it’s been perfect so far, casually waiting for it to break but nothing yet. but 95% of my time is in steamos. I take design classes too and need certain software for assignments but these actually run great on linux. use libreoffice for essays and such and note taking. I’m not going to give you my whole plebbit ass life story but I decided to use my steamdeck as my primary computer tablet laptop gaming rig hybrid thing because of circumstance and instead of going out and buying a new ipad mini or mid range laptop, I was like, wait, I already have the steamdeck. I’ll just use that and see how it goes. and it’s awesome. keep waiting for the special unforeseen reason why it can’t work but, why would it? it’s literally just a linux computer crammed inside a gameboy. I would say the only thing that I’d prefer an ipad for is reading ebooks. but even that is… fine? pleasant even? lower the lcd brightness, turn on some warmth in nightmode, and just tap through the pages with the bumpers. I dunno. I do think the future of computers are devices like the steamdeck. whereas apple is segmenting their usecase through different devices, you can sort of just do it all with this one linux based thing with a bunch of gaming based input.
>>108353907Just get a proper Maid Computer like the GPD Win 4.
Let me guess, you need more?
>>108354178Some people do more than just browse 4chan all day anon.
>>108354204None of the ones that do actually have a job.
>>108354218Ya know I want to refute that but I have a no time to do anything else cause of my job. Carry on.
