Are bone-conductive headphones any good? Being able to listen to stuff while having full hearing sounds pretty appealing
You know open back headphones exist right? You know the earbud style can be worn with those tiny foam covers to let air in right?Youre not forced to wear some ultratight, noise cancelling IEMs at all times..
>>107839058I bought top of the range bone conduction headphones about a decade ago and they didn't work as advertised at all. More like little speakers pointed at your ears, other people can hear them and if you hold them away from your head it doesn't change the sound quality at all. Doesn't seem like the tech has moved on since then. Unironically just get some buds with reverse ANC.
>>107839058+Can hear everything else while listening to podcasts/music+Lightweight+Can use to talk to people over the phone hands free+Long battery life +Does not require stuffing objects into your ear canal to listen as it relies positioning over the zygomatic bone-Audio quality isn't as good unlike using headphones or earbuds-Bass is almost non-existent, is more noticeable when wearing ear plugs
>>107839102>decade agoTech changes and improves, gramps.
>>107839097I wouldn't wanna bring my expensive open back headphones to listen to podcasts on a commute.

Alright this is wildBefore the sale started, I had some items in my basket, total after shopping credits was £3.80 or soNow the sale has started, the exact same items cost £7.11 total after shopping credits.

>>107833672Returns have been pretty good in my experience. Don't get angry with them and don't half-ass it and you'll be OK. Provide whatever pertinent photographs, videos, and background information you think is necessary. You can say something like "while the lights are all on on the device, in the device manager the value at (whatever indicates the problems) shows that blah blah blah". Essentially just explain it to them and make sure they know you aren't just too retarded to use the product.

wait how do I update libreboot if I built it from source pull, build, flash again? I gotta re-apply my settings?
pls help, I need a thinkpad for making simple games (rendered with pbr methods, no raytracing) and it also needs to be a tuner laptop for my car. It needs to run both linux and windows, Cost doesn't matter, I want it to be good. I'm coming from a surface laptop and I'm tired of random things like usb drivers not working :((

>>107834516Did private equity take them over? This is usually what PE does to companies. They are modern day pirates. They go in to a company that is doing relatively well, then run it into the ground while taking massive short positions and taking out massive loans that are unpayable. Once the company goes into bankruptcy and the stock is delisted (cellarboxed) it's curtains for that company. It gets sold off for pennis to their friends. Profiting all the way down.

Anyone have experience running a game server like Minecraft or something? Is it better to use a container with dynamic RAM or make a VM and allocate a fixed amount of RAM?
>>107838893Bump
>>107838893for Minecraft, it doesn't really matter, but don't allocate all of the RAM to it. Also make sure you're using proper JVM flags for it. Check out the PaperMC ones for a good starting point.
>>107838893For Minecraft specifically, good configs set the min and max allocations to the same value. So it will be static in practice.Sidenote: You don't need a VM to limit the memory usage. Containers can do that too.

Should use vidlii it's like old YouTube just needs more people using it. I'm probs gonna make an account on it and odysee I'll probs upload to YouTube as well but link then in.
>>107838364But if you go in fresh it doesn't assault you with garbage. And even after use it will still (mostly) pull from a recommendation algorithm that it thinks will keep you watching. If you don't click on crap it's a lot less likely to show you crap. Though how long that lasts is another question.
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.

>>107838501>Bit much of a luddite wouldn't you say?Nah.>You must be a dinosaur if you want to play Rollercoaster Tycoon to recreate the good ol' days, uncI, uh... Yes.
>>107838452you could boot into an ms-dos environment too using a boot disk then use clonezilla by launching it from a disc if there is a setup script that will execute from that shell provided by booting from floppy. since the computer doesn't boot from CD, there's things like IDE to USB converters which can be used to plug the win98 drive into the other computer.
>>107838240Floppy? https://github.com/w84death/floppinuxMost likely you're just best off removing the drive and using ddrescue or sth on a modern computer.
>>107838276>ddrescueThis is the correct response. You need to use ddrescue to clone this drive as fully as possible to new media. Only then can you start thinking about repairing the filesystem or using something like testdisk to scan for known filetypes. I've used ddrescue multiple times to pull data from storage that was failing. So many other tools assume your storage is healthy & will crash the moment your SATA/USB/etc link drops out. ddrescue just picks up from the log file & keeps copying.

>>107838895no its actually the correct way to maintain a system but you roomtemp IQ fags wouldnt know anything about that.
>>107838419There's nothing inherently "minimalist" about Arch. You're simply expected to know how to configure your system. Nothing "should" be installed by default except what's required to boot the system. That isn't "minimalism," it's giving you control of your system, which is the entire point. You're free to make your Arch install as light or heavy as you wish. If you want automatic mirror selection, you install it. If you don't, you don't. It's not a complex concept.
