The default interface is fine for this, it organizes by artist and album and genre and you can search or play by a myriad of criteria, but if you need more you can always use a music organizer like banshee I guess.
>programming forced faggot shit like this should be grounds for drawing ang quartering
Yeah its pretty cringe. I'd compile an apk myself without it but I am not familiar with android applications and I think the Dev purposely doesn't give instructions in the github specifically to prevent people from removing it.

I want to believe you, but I can't seem to find any proof of that online. I was actually thinking of buying one and slapping rock box on it but would fucking hate that shit it I couldn't change it. Anyway seems you can use this to change it https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LogoSwapper
Other than that, you can probably just look around the root director of the rock box install, look for the boot up image and replace it that way.

absolutely S-tier MX Blacks on Alu.

I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.

I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.

It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.

It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.

I was referring to the use case of minicomputers rather than UNIX itself. My understanding is minicomputers tended to be bought for specific departments that needed them, whereas a mainframe would be bought to run the entire company or campus off for the foreseeable future. So I guess more “single-interest” than single-user.
>>
>>107837394
Guess it’s a use specific thing. I’ve had numerous programs on Windows freak-out or refuse to install anywhere but the C: drive, and that software is generally the kind of software that makes Windows worth keeping around. I recall that even Photoshop gets pissy with other drives, but it might have been fixed since.

Internally windows uses a flat file structure called UNC, and drives are mapped a `\\.\<drive_letter>`, and the older DOS style paths are aliased to them.
>>
>>107838138
ReactOS has the feature of supporting windows device drivers, which WINE does not, and which is a huge benefit for a lot of industrial users of windows, who have device drivers that only work on said 30 year old versions of windows. Think CNC machines, ATMs, various HMIs for industrial controls and so on.
>>
>>107839840
In those cases you would just want to run those on an actual computer running a period correct version of Windows. If you have the kind of money to be buying industrial equipment you are not going to be installing unsupported software on it.

I was having an argument the other day with both zoomers and boomers in my Office saying the BBC is trash and they had the gull to call me un-British, because the BBC is heritage. It's a regular thing with them. They will defend whatever is fucking them in the ass.

>>
My favorite is an old model TI-89. A buddy of mine gave it me for tutoring him. He picked it up at a pawnshop for cheap, but the professor spotted it and was quite upset about it.
Prior to that, I had been using a TI-85. A different buddy gave it to me since it was too hard for him to use in the age of the TI-84.
It offers complex vector and matrix support, which is quite entertaining.
I have a TI-92 in a box somewhere. I bought it years later for giggles, never really used it. It would be hilarious to bust out that ol' cinderblock in class.

>>107837026

if AI companies buying a lot of future RAM caused the prices to spike, why wont the fabs just announce that they will also increase their capacity in the future?
this should cancel each other out and lower the cost of RAM right now.

Wrong, they are a monopoly and are therefore risk averse to the point where they refuse to take the risk to increase the scale of production.
Monopolies in the market make a risk averse, stagnant market and that is what we're beginning to see with semi-conductor producers.

>>107840152
I have an idea.
We lie out of our asses, make convincing enough papers and powerpoints for investors to get them to invest in "downlaodable RAM". We sell it as the next big thing, and if we get enough money being thrown our way the price of RAM will eventually go down from people thinking you can just download it.
It's fool proof! Or at least it counts on people being fools to work!
>>
>>107840152
>why wont the fabs just announce that they will also increase their capacity in the future?
Because they won't
Fabs know that the AI memory boom is a short term thing and won't risk overcommitting resources on it
They'll keep producing the same amount of RAM, and don't really care if it goes to consumers or datacenters
>>
>>107840402
Why would the amount of manufacturers change that?
If I had a company like that, i wouldn't. If most of the people I know had one, they wouldn't either. It is just logic, not lack of diversity.

Of course at some point you might have a retard doing exactly that, so I guess you are right to a degree, but I don't think that argument makes sense. It is not the problem here.

not sure if it would work with a controller tho
for the hane, the last three retailers are decent and might have some amazon storefronts. it's recommended that you try things out first with amazon since their return policy is easy to abuse.
