Anyone have experience with Aliexpress replacement keyboards? In particular, xx20 keyboards. I took a quick look at a few listings, and while they have generally good reviews, there's the occasional review stating how the feel of the keys is completely shit. Has this been the case in your experience? I don't expect a one-to-one parity, just an adequate typing experience that's close enough.
>>107864467>Anyone have experience with this platform that doesn't vet sellers at all?If you care about quality, why not pay $10 more to get it from a seller on a platform with a functioning reputation system?
>>107864571Unless it's a genuine replacement, they're more or less from the same stock; everything comes from China. I'd just be paying for the middleman tax, or some faggot's "like new" shiny keyboard. All options are shit in some way, might as well buy new. I'm just curious if there's at least one seller with an adequate keyboard replacement. I've had experiences with exceptionally shitty keyboards (that I got for free, thankfully), so if all vendor's replacements are shit, then I'll shell out for a genuine, unused keyboard.
>>107859900The latest one, DUH.My bare minimum requirement is running modern web smoothly.
>>107863610I don't know about the models you specified, but X230 and T430 keyboards are interchangeable, just that the way the connectors bend is slightly off--they still fit and function just fine. I imagine that models of the same generation but of a different form factor are interchangeable as well, unless Lenovo changed that. Even if the dimensions line up correctly, the connectors might be off, like with X220 keyboards in an X230, with which there's apparently a risk of bricking your motherboard if you don't isolate some pins. There's also the concern of a possible BIOS hwitelist.

a dead one

When can we expect price drops for the chink new year? Looking at the OnePlus 15 or Oppo find x9. Whichever drops the most. I was considering Poco F8 too but the battery is smaller
>>1078642196 years, it was already screaming to put to rest with like ~60% of battery health. If not for the news of price hike due to ram shortage, I might have pushed it for another 1 or 2 years
>>107864697Having <80% battery health is already officially classified as a broken battery.You might want to get another battery.
>>107864693JFC, anon, the F8 Pro has a 6210mah battery. How much do you need? Are you planning on running appliances on this thing?
What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.

How did this awful ISA become so widespread?
>>107864786it was better than MIPS and the only other serious competition in that space of super shitty slow and low power processors, enabling it to become the dominant ISA for mobile phones which makes up the majority of computer hardware.
Very easy:>x86 is supremely popular at current time>but expensive licensing>not a lot of alternatives>and it's bad in small devices>people who own ARM show up, say "hey ours can be modified to work in small devices, also we'll license it to you a bit cheaper">repeat for 2 decadesthat's it.reminder that risc-v will replace both within a decade or two because it's free
>>107864786Hey, I was "against" ARM at first, but now I'm fucking interested. Also Linux box64/86 and FEX are hype as fuck. And they even managed to get that shit running on RISC-V. And most gay ass FOSS software just needs to be recompiled and if thats not possible, it's much more simple to port an ARM app (program) to RISC-V. Soon we will be free from backdoored chips.

Will you start doing non-POSIX, non-Linux OS's syscalls once you went through all the standard Linux ones? Neurosuggesting you keep up the good effort for that long.
>>107861140>Somehow you need to decide whether something goes in a new flag or a new syscallSomehow someone already did.
>>107861083much easier to fuck this up and less chance of blowing up loudly if it does
>>107860495>we can't just let the kernel do everything for uswe can, and we will
>>107862705my plan is to get through the 363 x86_64 syscalls listed in musl libconce those are all done (so at the the of the year), i might start doing some nonstandard ones. that could be coolfun challenge for the readers here: if you program an implementation of each syscall, one per day, by the end of the year you'll have a large chunk of a kernel written
