Yeah you're all sitting here on /g/ but no tech office has nobody like you in this day and age. What the fuck is going on? When I got my CS degree in Ye Olden Times, it was full of straight up fucking computer nerds. Now the industry is basically chess club strivers and people who seem like they would've gone to law or med school in another time.Discuss this and its implications for the field. If this isn't your experience, tell us more about your work in case it helps someone.
>>108504541>They spent their adolescence going to violin lessons and grooming their resumes rather than taking apart computers and getting into trouble online. Best way I can put itYou're blind to the issue. That's just money. Parents with money send their kids to violin lessons. Poor kids get ignored and sit in front of the computer. It turned from a small field full of rejects to kids with money who only care about money. Its not rocket science.
>>108504370Get a better job. All my coworkers know Linux, and some have home servers.
>>108504370Nerds were a bottleneck because they were crucial to create and maintain the product, whereas everyone else was replacable. To combat this, you create tools that are easier to understand, teams that are much more resistant to collapse, and people that are much less prone to leave the company once things start to get boring, namely boring people.Computer nerds are being left alone now. Most are enjoying their neet bucks or working a trivial job where they can just be semi afk.Since there is no real world job hub left to call home, many just stay invisible.

>>108505390Not to be that guy, but what is the source? All I see is a screencap, I have no clue who measured it or how. Colorscheme seems Steam? If so, non-gamers desktop users excluded?
Watch, now the troons will take this survey seriously. Last month it was “flawed”.

Iran is about to destroy the tech industry.
>>108503004If they hit data centers, good. If this is just cyberwarfare who cares, the Chinese and Russians already have permenant access to all of MS and no one gives a shit
It's a real problem for the Silicon Valley circlejerk. More money bleeding, now that they're the target of DDOS attacks this time.
>>108503260Getting rid of two drains on humanity at the same time. Survival of the fittest
>>108503642The reason Iran is so close to Russia is that Western countries refuse to buy Iranian oil because Iran nationalised it. So Iran can't sell their oil to the West because MI6 and the CIA told every European country not to buy it. Therefore, the oil gets sold to Russia and China instead. It's all basically the same as that time America invaded Guatemala because their workers demanded a raise, except Iran has oil and eventually got rid of their Western puppet leader.>>108503677All the bad Islam is Sunni Islam. Iran is Shiite. Al-Qaeda and ISIS are Sunni.
>>108503004'Bout damn time.

>>108505488You can't really cheap out on packaging them. If they're just put in one of those plastic bags there's a real possibility they'll stick to something during the postage process and rip themselves out of the bag.
>>108505510Right, that was my guess. But it seems to apply even to the weak flexible ones.

I'm OOTL since I don't keep up with crapple's products, but why did they start putting out cheap products? First they made a $600 Mac Mini a few years ago, and now there's a MacBook that runs off an iPhone processor for about the same price. Apple worked so hard to establish themselves as a luxury fashion brand so that they can sell overpriced crap, why are they suddenly pivoting to pandering to people that aren't pretending to look rich?
They make iPads that start at $349.
>>108505185apple is a premium brand and has been from day 1. if they were not a premium brand they would have gone bankrupt during the pc clone wars. clearly they are trying to destroy apple by turning into an economy brand.
BONUS: Netflix adds a fake film grain filter not present in the video to hide how shitty and starved the original streams fucking look Congrats AV1 clowns you played yourselvesThe future you all wanted lololololololololol

Wait is that why everything has film grain now? What the fuck
>>108505471soilennials thinks it adds vintage "sovl"
>>108503751Not OP, but found it: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7440102613498503169/Note that the bitrate numbers are for 1080p, not for 4K like claimed by OP (it's even stated in the picture OP posted).>>108503790>There is no hardware support for av1 on /g/s poormans dual core PCsEven some devices with AV1 hardware decoding don't properly support FGS. In that case, the synthesized film grain might be completely missing and some artifacts like banding that should be hidden by the film grain will become very obvious.

No it takes 15 yrs to pay for itself, depends on the cost of energy in your area and sunshine.... but you need solar, ok.>electric cars are great........ I mean the charging infrastructure isn't there, and electric long haul trucks are impossible.... but...>star link is badfaggot retard video. fat retard even admits that he has loved solar panels since he was a child. Very biased very fucking stupid. You know how I know solar is fucking horse shit? Because none of these AI data centers are using solar panels, no fucking sir, the want nuclear or they are building gas fucking turbines against the EPA's wishes.

do you lock your computer when you go afk?
>>108505080auto lock on a 10 minute timer if I'm in the area, manual lock if I'm leaving to go elsewhere.
No I live alone and nobody ever comes into my apartment except me.
>>108505480Still no reason to not lock it.
>>108505486Will the ghosts access my computer when I go to take a leak?If I'm not at home, my computer is turned off
no because I hate having to put in a pin or some dumb shit that requires a keyboard when I wake it up remotely
>digital cameras are such a technological dead end that Kodak brought back Ektachrome and swung some deal with Alaris and is now offering more film direct to stills consumers and Pentax and Lomo are putting out film cameras againI guess it shouldn't be a shocker when every "blockbuster" movie looks like ass now because it was shot on digital>what should I buyIt's like guns 30+ years ago. There's enough stuff on the used market that I'd just go buy a nikon or a canon from the 80s or 90s. There are a bunch of cameras with hipster tax on them, like how kar98ks and garands were over priced compared to thirdie country guns, but generally anything that's mostly electronic like those 90s SLRs are free from hispter tax because hipsters generally want>manual dial controls>compact bodies>mechanical film advance levers>muh dials >mechanical actions instead of chip based actions
>>108502922True and just like how "audiophiles" never discuss how well a song is composed or performed people like him never talk about the subject or composition of his photos only the image "quality".I like listening to good music and looking at good photographs, I don't care so much how they were recorded even if it wasn't optimal.
>>108502996I'll crop factor your ass
>>108502968nah
>>108502996yeah, and the 26mm is a 40mm equivalent, as in the widest I'd be willing to go. I think the 2 compacts I have are like 38mm and like a 39mm full frame equivalent and then for the ILC cameras, I have a 40mm, 45mm and 50mm and then some tele lenses>>108503031you sound like you tip a fedora and live outside the US
>>108501920Hell yeah. I dropped mine a couple years ago and the plastic piece that holds the battery in place fell out and I couldn't find it... so now I just stuff some tape under the lid to keep the battery connected.

Love dem private tracks
is it still piss easy to get into RED? i was on the original oink and then what and waffles and just never bothered getting on RED.
>>108505421if you were on those sites then probably pretty easy since I'd assume you know not to lossy2lossy transcode. Read https://interviewfor.red/en/index.html then make sure to close the tab and take the interview. Waiting for an interview is probably the hardest part
>>108505485yeah I'm pretty knowledgeable about audio and could likely pass the interview but was wondering if they changed anything up since those days. thanks for the link.

i installed gentoo like you guys told meemerged xfce and some stuff like browser, steam etcwhat else can i do for compile times or overall usability/performance
>>108503929My arch install takes roughly the same amount of time from start to finish, but I compile gtkmm, gtk2, and nitrogen.
>>108502857Keep in mind development on xlibre has been very active.Seems ripe for introducing CVEs.Something to keep in mind when running gentoo or something else bleeding edge.
>>108501943install windows
>>108503535>xfce needs elogind for whatever reasonnot true, it runs perfectly fine with the service disabled, you can have the library installed and xfce linked against it, whatever, it does nothing without the service.>>108503627gem but I like Slackware and even Void better than Gentoo
>>108503011elogind and dbus are not the same as systemd, and they especially lack the extreme scope creep of systemd
