>>107745333there's nothing to argue with Sony because nobody is buying their phones since the jack is on the wrong edge of the phone.

Will 2026 be the year of the Linux desktop?
>>107745405It already is for me, and I'm the only one who matters
hopefully not, I don't want my linux threads filled with imbeciles
It is for me. I have not had a single reason to even boot into Windows 10 since Oct 14th when I switched. Linux does everything better
>>107745405We need prebuilts.
>>107745405Yes, absolutely.
Reminder to muh bubble retards that AI is indispensable and the new default way to use computers.

>>107743458I really hope it crashes so that the hardware costs go way down and we can move towards hosting our own models at home.
>>107743458The disparity between people hating on AI online versus the objective popularity of it for both personal and professional use is so large that i've gone down some schizo trains of thought about foreign actor influence in anglosphere social media

PREDICTION This year we will see prebuilt manufacturers start selling prebuilt machines with Linux pre installed even to normies.There is no point to keep shelling out money to Microsoft for licensing, so this will be an aspect of shrinkflation.
Asus tried that in 2007 with the eee pcs. We had WalMart selling "Lindows" PCs back in 2003. We have multiple Linux companies like System76, Slimbook, Pine64 and Librem.
>>107742245I think 2026 is a way better time to try to sell Linux laptops than 2003 or 2007.First, Linux is easier than ever for beginners and people who know only Windows, especially Mint. Hardware support is a lot better too. WINE got better too.And there is the price of the hardware needed to run the thing. Windows 11 is an incredibly heavy fatass, it runs like shit on <$1000 laptops, while Linux runs fine on $400 weak laptops. This will get worse with the ram and ssd prices going crazy.

>>107745496>Ubuntu Causes Girl To Drop Out of Collegebased as fuck, lmfao; but yeah, linus still isn't ready, and won't be until package management is solved
>>107741448I'd like that but I doubt it. Unless it's a small shop operation that is.Normies don't buy Linux because it's new and they don't want to learn it. Anybody who Isn't afraid of learning something new will generally build their own rig anyways.Also nobody is buying a computer in 2026, not at these prices.
Every iPhone app to scan or find Bluetooth devices is just a long list of "unnamed" or otherwise unknown Bluetooth devices around me with no helpful info like Mac addresses. The whole point is for me to find out what all those unnamed and unknown devices are. I don't care about lost Bluetooth devices because I try not to have any of them.I hate Bluetooth and am trying to get rid of all Bluetooth devices in my vicinity. Is there a physical Bluetooth scanner device I could buy?

>>107741793the problem of inconvenience isn't remedied by making it slightly less inconvenient, I don't know why people keep repeating this idea but it's bullshit3d never takes off because the glasses, those ultra lightweight and almost competely uninvasive glasses are more inconvenient than not wearing them, so they will always fail, and so will vr
>>107740527Smartphones in a sense are dumb and nonsensical, and if you handed a fully functional one to someone in the 1970s, they would know what to do with it. VR is the same way. It just needs a well designed device, sold at a decent price, with proper marketing behind it, and a decent software library. Meta failed at the last one there, and Valve will probably fail at the third because they don't do marketing. The day will come when every household has a "VR terminal", it will just take time.
>>107745524But what can you do with vr? It's pretty useless.
>>107740527Nobody is willing to pay that much for a device that isn't even sure if it wants to be a vr headset or an ar headset.Also no games.
>>107740527even if it didn't have all the weaknesses that it has, I'm not sure what value proposition is.the 3d effect seems like a gimmick that gets old quickly.
Zoomers do not know what a screen saver is
>>107737410internets
>>107739063yes, if you count tiktok as a screen saver
>>107743889>Now it's simply better to turn off the displayHow would that have not been better in the olden days?The burn-in part is true, but displays are still prone to damage if they project the same image for a long time.
>>107736919The oldest Zoomers are 28, turning 29, you fuckass retard boomer moron, we had all the shit millennials had, it just got replaced by literal Star Trek tier tech before we got to high school.ALL FIELDS

DDR2 is still worth it only if it can YouTube 1080p.
>>107739307And yet computers that played Youtube videos fine back then started to choke on the same resolutions as soon as the new non-Flash implementation came out, and still do.
>>107735998ddr4 is good enough for me
that image would make a neat 4chan banner
>>107741460>modern SSDs faster than most DDR2Maybe in pSLC mode. Internally they then convert to TLC/QLC, which can be super slow, 300MB/s.
>>107740975not really i just have a job
you already know that for years now, big tech has been paying shills to shit-talk Linux and other FOSS projectsand with all the AI progress, most of the shilling is not done manually any more, it is mostly automated botsso why not fight fire with fire?why don't we set up something that scans internet for relevant discussions and automatically makes posts that promote Linux and digital freedom?
>>107741400Linux is not free softwareHasnt been since 1996
>>107744336>what better ways are there countering the systemic globohomo FAGMAN propaganda?
Not true, I don't even think FOSS is on their radar. Outside of servers and infrastructure no one in the professional world even thinks about FOSS. In fact based on Youtube comments I seen those sever sysadmin people refer to the Linux software community as hobbyist. so please don't spread disinfo
>>107745118I will spread disinformation and misinformation. You cannot stop me. Goodbye.
>>107741400instead of shilling you could solve the actual problem which is most FOSS projects' garbage UX.if people don't even want your shit for free it should make you think.
Getting programming jobs by June will be incredibly difficult. All the entry-level and intermediate jobs will be accomplished via a $1000/month subscription to claude code. Every subscription will replace 10 full-time jobs.Many companies will go under. There will be no jobs. Only FAGMAN will be "safe". Most FAGMAN employees will either quit voluntarily or fight dirty to not get fired.Programming Jobs and Software jobs are KAPUT in six months. You have been warned.
You're telling me now, after all this time, that there was a way for a video to change its size during playback, and not a single platform uses this to accomodate phone videos which are rotated partway into the video?Son of a bitch.
>>107743694
>>107743694At $1000 a month, I think Indians would unironically be cheaper as long as you have them work remote. The effects on product quality would be roughly equivalent.

Have you ever considered the possibility that some day normal consumer won't be able to afford a computer anymore?With GPU and RAM price increases, this nightmare scenario seems likely.Wireless Internet connections might also get so full of traffic that one day fast Internet will be a luxury as well.1. Give people cheap tech so they get dependent on it.2. When they're addicted, start ramping up the price + scarcity3. WinMe? I'm already learning ways to survive without technology. In a few years you might have to live without tech.

>>107739312Holy shit! This actually blows my mind unironically. Corporations merely allow us to exist. We're already in fucking communism. I don't own my own appartment. I don't own my car. It's just fucking loan companies. Communism won. We just don't realize were living in communism. The elite party is just the top few investment firms or whatever.
Do you think Apple's going to stop selling computers? Their whole deal is consumer hardware, they're not like say Microsoft that mainly deals in software and corpo services and has no first party computers.As the price of slopvidia GPUs and regular consumer RAM skyrockets, a Macbook becomes a better and better choice. Especially as the quality of Windows craters. Apple is going to hoover up all the people who used to use Windows PC. If you're a game dev it's time to learn Metal.
