Ultra-wide monitors are just a productivity placebo for people who can’t manage windows. You spent $900 to recreate two 1080p screens glued together, still alt-tab like a caveman, and call it a “workflow.” If your setup only works when everything is fullscreen, you didn’t level up — you just bought cope in 21:9.Vim/Neovim maximalism is theater kid energy for programmers. You memorized 400 keybinds to avoid using a mouse, then spend half your day explaining your config instead of shipping anything. Congrats, your editor boots in 0.3 seconds and you still missed the deadline.Self-hosting everything is the new essential oils. You turned your weekend into unpaid SRE work so you can say you “own your stack,” while your services go down every time you reboot the router. Cloud services exist so normal people can touch grass and still have working software.Android “power users” are just unpaid QA. You flash ROMs, break banking apps, and call instability “freedom.” Meanwhile iOS users updated once and moved on with their lives while you’re stuck on XDA hunting a fix for yesterday’s bug.Smart home setups are 90% ritual, 10% utility. You don’t need three hubs, MQTT, and YAML just to turn on a light. If your house stops functioning when Wi-Fi drops, you didn’t build a home — you built a demo environment.Mechanical keyboard sound tests are ASMR for people avoiding real work. Linear, tactile, thocky, clacky — none of it matters if you’re still typing Slack messages and Jira comments all day.

Why do you need 24GB of VRAM? What will you do with it that 16GB can't? Most people don't need more than 12 and you NEET highschool dropout hobbyists can get by just fine with 8GB for your projects and old games.
>>107842575>Why do you need 24GB of VRAM?modding skyrim. but I have a 7900xtx
>>107842575AI training experiments for my thesis. I have 32GB, and it's barely enough. Meh, I'll probably quit anyway, as everything I do just goes wrong in ways I couldn't even imagine.
>>107855858i always felt like the 5090 isnt fantastic for AI and its more of a gayming card because 32GB isnt nearly enough
I can run pretty much any model with a 5070 ti and 64GB. might be slightly slower but its worth not having to replace my case and 750w PSU
>>107855858>AI training experiments for my thesisisnt there a university supercomputer you can rent time on
Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?
>>107848935I've concluded, no, there's not a reason to have more then 256G for most users. Over xmas break I serviced 2 of senpai's computers, removing 1T HDD (10 and 15 years old) and replacing with SSD on mean time to failure concern. Neither was using more than 100G so I replaced with 256G SSD given the absurd prices on anything memory rn. Given how long both have been in service, using far less than max capacity... the 1T's were overkill.

Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?

From your phone's wifi and cellular modem, to a wirelss chromecast for your tv, to the wifi router in your room, to the wifi card on your desktop gaming computer, do you ever wonder if all of this stuff is bad for us if it's working all at once?
>>107854428why would it be bad for us? feeling like something might be bad means nothing. at least have a hypothesis.>>107855974luckily i'm not a garden cress plant.
No because I'm not a school dropout retard who don't understand non-ionizing radiation
>>107854428I don't have to wonder. Whenever I spend more than 10 minutes in a same room as my router I get headaches and dizziness.

Bonus points if it's a response that won't get me fired
>>107844490Why tell him? Just do what you're told, that's literally your job if you're saying you'll be fired for talking back.
>>107844527> where pussy?
>>107850099So OP should not be pissed because his job is being undermined by some retarded tech that was hamfisted by a bunch of wall street bros who know nothing? What if you were questioned about everything you did at work because some prompt your boss put in determined you weren't being efficient or whatever even though this program in the cloud has no fucking idea what it's talking about? You then lose your job because your boss thinks you are retarded. Congratulations, you played yourself.
>>107844811its literally the companies job not to care about individual people, for self preservation. the whole corporate world is toxic, its depressing as fuck
>>107850349>clone some repos in a sandbox>ask copilot to spin up 12 agents to rewrite the whole application in Rust>copilot usage 100% in just a few daysI also had to use AI (mandatory) here and I simply did that. Now management is happy, VP is happy, CTO is happy and I AM HAPPY. Stop being a retard and just ride the fucking tiger.

Can your clunkers play 1080p YouTube without stuttering? Or are you retro-monitoring in 1024x768?
>>107856107B-but XGA is high res.....
>>107856107Why would I have them on the internet?I can take all of youtube that I want via script and throw it on a NAS, I have a 4000+ physical library of blue rays, console games and PC games and terrabites of software and PDFs already. What's on youtube I need? What's going to be on the internet over the next three years that I want? It fucking sucks now.I'd rather have a home lan with no gateway at all with machines on their own private network. Far less to worry about, can have all my games set for LAN plan on old consoles and PCs. There's nothing new even worth watching on stream pirate sites anymore, new games suck ass. I can take my steam library offline and image it..If I have thousands of albums films, TV shows, best of youtube, moutains of PDFs and my soctware achives, what's left? This place?The other choice is keep running uphill with modern OSs and software which sucks. The internets going to be a hellscape with incoming malware and spware AI and cloud computing it's already a trainwreckAs regards 1080p, no bother at all. Even weak old cards like the 750Ti, 1050TI and the 1030 DDR5 can no botehr. I'l looking at the oldest machine a e6500 with 4GB and a 750 ti on a 1080 deskop to my left right now.That's not even including libraries of 8 bit stuff I have which goes to 1000s more titles.Comment too long.

All these fags making bimbo looking sex dolls into robots. But why not do what futurama did where its just a plain robot and then they overlay the identity overtop. Now granted we cant do that but with ar or vr goggles why not have a character model superimpose on a blank robot like joi and that hooker?Maybe add hair and clothing of similar mesh so u can twirl ur girls hair or w.e. but beyond that it doesnt even need eyes and shit. Its all presented in vr goggles. So question how long until a proto holodexk. Where i can create on demand a virtual 3d space like a white villa on a fruitger aero blue beach surrounded by ocean. With a cute emo blonde girl with eyeliner that then i can snuggle with, dance, pick up, and obv smash her puss. Like 2 to 3 years?
>>107848322You are actual goycattle.
>>107847836they overlaid her on a plain robot in blade runner though
>>107855942https://youtu.be/jRPPdm09xZ8?si=yO4qR3eyTXkvHGIe plain like in this clip
>>107856061no one want to kiss metal, blade runner hologram over synthetic flesh is superior
>>107856140Obv. This is what will probably come first. Very mediocre robot that u superimpose facial expressions and shit onto. My question in op was whats the earliest we have the earliest working model of this style with projecting out current progresss. And yet no ones chimmed in
If you want a tablet and also want to draw, should you get an iPad or a Samsung tablet?
>>107853221Unfortunately I do not have the technology to pirate physical items.
>>107845116Just start with the basics. You should get a handle on the 12 principles of animation, that's where you start. If you were to do a college course that's the entry level tasks everyone does (it's what I did as a student too). Look at the examples of Level 1 exercises here (swap out "3. Brick falling from a shelf onto the ground" for a bowling ball bounce, that's usually the typical exercise for weight): https://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/Look up some references on youtube, it will explain some of these concepts to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_basic_principles_of_animationStudent year 1 showreels are a good thing to look for on youtube too.Don't worry about character animation for the moment, just focus on understanding these. Once you feel a bit confident with them, then you could do a small animation (like expressions, or a character walk, just basic things). Here is a good site for references and ideas: https://www.sakugabooru.com/postAnd yeah, you can technically be good at animation while not being good at drawing (3D and 2D rigs come to mind as an example). Some people can make really fluid animation even if their drawing skills are not very good. But generally speaking you need a really good grasp on anatomy and perspective to be able to fully animate well.>>107845168It's sad, I'd really like android or even surface tablets to be successful but options outside of ipad are just not there as yet.>>107849748Can confirm everyone in the industry is using ipads and procreate.>>107849927The future of desktop tablets is moving away from buttons, look at Wacom's current lineup. They want to sell you them back seperately at a 100 bucks peripheral. Most people using ipads are using bluetooth keyboards too, they work surprisingly well.>>107853242Only thing you're missing is the native dual monitor thing. I have a windows machine I built myself for 3D work. Compatibility is fine.
Why is /g/ so anti Apple
>>107854713They don't like eating fruits or vegetables
>>107828973I wish HDMI output wasn't a premium feature in tablets, it's the one thing stopping me from making a full switch from laptops, midrange tablets should have HDMI output too.
Any anons into radio stuff? I just like to snoop into radio signals in my area from walkie talkies to police scanners very interestingI've been archiving telemetry data of airplanes in my area constantly hopefully it'll be of use some day or I could even sell it. I hear stuff like Walmart agents on walkie talkies to military codes I have no idea about
I fucking wish Ubuntu was good. It just doesn't work for gaming because of snaps.
>>107854447what if you install the steam snap with the --classic flag?
>>107854423>thats for gay peopleyou are in /g/ay tho
>>107854423Seems right for you then. On a serious note. I've been using Debian 13 + KDE + Bazaar and flatpaks for a good while and it's been great.
>>107852834Snaps aren't that bad. I wish Canonical would stop forcing them though... and that Ubuntu Touch was still a priority to them.
>>107852834I've never installed or even used a snap.
