I guess what I'm really asking is if there's any out there that does volume compensation like some phones do.

>>108505320
Look for anything with dynamic eq or dsp. I can't really recommend anything in particular, I'm still using some old advent speakers lol I just mess with the loudness knob in my amp until it sounds right and maybe enable a drc plugin at night to avoid noise complaints

>>108500648
Man what the fuck lmao. I ordered the D3V two days ago
What are speakers in this price range and similar form factor/size that don't have this issue? man FUCK

Ok retarded question I have a DAC with line and pre out. The DAC itself has volume controls and equaliser. Should I use line or pre out for active speakers and sub? From my understanding if I use pre out the volume controls would shift to the speakers?

My Yamaha AV receiver has this feature called Adaptive DRC:
>Auto-adjusting the sound level to make even low volumes more audible
Maybe their stereo amplifiers offer it?

I have a tablet that I got for uni and almost never used for uni. then I got into project sekai for a bit which was fun, now I only use my tablet for reading manga, and even then not that often. but sometimes I'll draw on it. I have a tab s9

>>108506623
I see thanks. Why aren't you using it more often? Convenience, bad software, something else?

Which online accessible ai that's free and doesn't require any accounts is best to use for unfiltered questions and uncensored answers? Preferably with elaborate answers and high limits on number of questions you can ask

>>108506692
I just don't vibe with it desu. I do my uni work on my desktop instead, and essentially there's no reason to use it. if I need a device at uni I'll just take my laptop (MacBook air)
the software is great and if I read more manga maybe it would be worthwhile. I read on my ereader

>>108506813
I see thanks. I wouldn't need it for anything work related but I appreciate the sentiment.

If they act like javascript, dress like javascript, and it looks like javascript. It is javascript. It doesn't matter how it works under the hood.

>>108506485
I only know these from mind:

.myclass{
margin: 0 auto;
display: fixed;
width: 60%;
height: 100vh;

};

This is basic doomscrolling setting. Am I wrong?

>>108506489
its not even that bad nor is javascript. i cannot think of a better way to do css. what language would u replace javascript with? i only think that lua would be a better replacement. inb4 static typed language, typescript is probably the worst language of all time. no static typing performance gain and less dynamic than javascript.

My nephew recently insisted upon baking a cake after asking an ai for a recipe. He got mad about my mother mixing the batter together because the ai didn't specify to do so. It stuck to the pan and apparently was a bitch to get out.

>An intelligence so brilliant and pure we can't even comprehend the physics bending bullshit it produces

The first thing a real AGI would do is figure out the best method to wiping out all of humanity, and THEN begin extracting all relevant resources from the universe in pursuit of whatever it actually wants to do (which again, is beyond us simple fleshoids)
You should be correct, it should mean utopia for all but historic recorded conversations about shorter working weeks and better labour conditions/pay because of technology have always been false and thats with human beings at the helm nevermind a literally uncaring machine.

Useful intelligence? Oh boy.

Just tell me what the fuck to buy to replace my M1 Macbook Air 2020.
Damnit I kinda don't want to do this. The battery life is incredible. But Macos suck so much fucking cock it's unbelievable. I also just need to plug my lap to my office's monitor and go back to linux (I already use Asahi on my mac).
Something modern but Thinkpad and not expensive please
My thinkpad history if it matters:
>T420
>T430
>X230
>T480 for like a month
Lost all of them for reasons

all my laptops have been hand-me-downs but I have to buy one for the first time ever

I runlinux, I need it for browsing the internet, usually 20 or so tabs open, watching videos from streaming sites. I don't care about battery life, I don't care about weight or it being clunky - in fact, the sturdier it is, the better. I'd like to prioritize security but I don't want to go through the whole pain of opening the thing up to flash the bios. I just bought a 5090 and 128gb ddr5 ram so I'd like the laptop to be on the cheaper side.

I'm in Australia so my options are limited. T14, T14s gen 1 & 2 are plentiful, there's a bunch of other stuff on ebay but I don't know what to look for exactly.

Anyone had the issue of the mic-mute button being constantly lit on their T480? I think it started happening after one of the recent kernel updates but I am not sure. I can still turn the LED on and off with the appropriate console commands and it still mutes and unmutes the mic but the LED doesn't toggle when I use the button. I use i3 if that is important.

This is actually true. However, people (who are not me) are using up all the space, therefore it's not up to me. You can barely even install an OS and a web browser on that amount of space anymore.

it was true at the time.

Just install it and enable it with Systemd. It just works. Dnscrypt Proxy is great.

>>108506640
resolved only does DoT, it doesn't do DoH.

>>108506666
Dnscrypt Proxy does everything:
>DoH
>DoT
>DoQ
>Dnscrypt
>Unencrypted classic DNS on port 53
You name it.

Another more lightweight option is Adguard's dnsproxy which is very good:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/dnsproxy

>>108502588
Well you did the exact thing you werent supposed to do!

>>108506680
>>108501369
In fact to answer your question exactly, with dnsproxy you can do something like this to start a shell that uses DoH:

>In one terminal

git clone https://github.com/AdguardTeam/dnsproxy.git && cd dnsproxy && make
sudo ./dnsproxy -u https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query --http3 -l 127.53.53.53 -v
