Will this kill Windows and make Linux the most popular OS?
>>107831728That looks like adobe acrobat. Not even on wangblows would people want this shit.
>>107830342It itself won't because gaming is a niche hobby. But there's a culmination of multiple things that will. Windows is a collapsing platform.Most governments are replacing Windows with Linux and sometimes Mac machines because of privacy concerns and the current hostility of the US towards most of the globe. Many corporations are doing the same. Corporate and government machines abandoning Windows will cost Microsoft billions over the next decade.China will be the first country to move away from Windows entirely. Not just the government but they're also forcing all local businesses to abandon Windows within the next 2 years. Personal devices will likely still be allowed to run Windows, but China is very quick to develop alternatives and spread them to their population. Deepin Linux already exists, while Harmony OS is also a decent consumer grade OS at the moment since most people don't actually need Windows-exclusive or Android-exclusive software. The platform is less than 8 years old and they've already created around 100k-300k applications for it. Not to mention that Deepin has access to Wine and Waydroid, while HarmonyOS also has multiple Android emulators. So there won't be a massive loss of platform exclusive software.As soon as businesses, schools and government offices switch away from Windows most of the regular citizens will quickly follow simply because it makes no sense using multiple different operating systems (people prefer consolidation).
>>107833720 cont:Russia will probably do something similar. Especially considering the US is fucking them over right now by removing Russian influence from various countries. The only problem with Russia is the fact that it's actually not a very rich country (they're also terrible at budgeting). So they're far less likely to completely wipe Windows in the next decade, compared to China which will definitely do it.Many places in EU and Australia have already ditched Windows entirely and retrained staff to use Linux. The EU has started to look into developing and funding open source software and pushing FOSS or EU software as a standard. Many schools, libraries and colleges are already using Linux in EU (mostly Ubuntu). And if you're a kid who is only exposed to Linux, you're more likely to prefer it when you're getting a computer of your own. Many prebuilt computers and laptops in EU already come with Ubuntu and this has been the case for at least a decade. So, Windows will possibly become a minor OS in the EU within the next 20-40 years, especially among younger generations.However, the US isn't treated as an entirely hostile force yet so the migration might be slower. The only thing that could truly "kill" Windows in the EU would either be Google with it's Android desktop OS (assuming the hardware it's on isn't as shit as Chromebooks were) and Apple (assuming Apple starts making budget laptops).The US will very likely be the last and only place where Windows still dominates in around 15-30 years.
>>107830342What i really don't get is why normies are so fixated on the idea of SteamOS when the improvements valve make work for just about every distro. Maybe it's the idea that the distro has a reliable backer, rather than some volunteer project like most?
>>107830342>Will this kill Windows and make Linux the most popular OS?Only if it can be a better platform for software than Windows is. A combination of OEM contracts and compatible productivity software put Windows on the map but gaming really solidified its ubiquity in the 90s. Today Valve is using gaming to put desktop Linux on the map and for it to succeed then what is needed? Productivity software and OEM contracts. Also GOG needs to bring their shit to Linux.

Should I keep the Oppo Find X9 Pro CN version I got and sell the Xiaomi 15 Ultra I was planning to replace it with? My dumbass got the CN version which means the phone is kinda filled with Chinese although after tweaking it a bit I got all of it out at least in the home screen, the only Chinese stuff I can think of now must be the AI and in the settingsI don't have google discover news and neither pull down search because both of them were in ChineseEverything else seems to be fine
>>107832388Unfortunately no and as a OnePlus 15 owner I can say confidently that it did not win. The OnePlus 13 and Find X9 Pro both have better performance and cooling.https://youtu.be/wstz5TElzCo?si=nWnUrzHuOSrjEvex
>>107832993For the price you can get the OnePlus 15 I think it's a no brainer if you don't care a lot about cameras

He let me know that he needs every Friday off to sing in the church choir, and the other guys were willing to accommodate this by swapping shifts with him. This went on for about a year.Then he decides to transfer to another department because "more hands-on with equipment". Fine, I hire another guy to replace him, all is well.Except his new department is full of older people who have families, some have second jobs, so it often happens that nobody can swap shifts with him.Now he wants to come back to my department but the position is filled so tough luck. He resigned a few months later.
>>107819490I worked for the Department of State, the rule was to replace computers every 4 years and monitors every 5 years. Old equipment was either auctioned or donated.The monitors were so-so, but computers were top spec and you could get them at auction for 10-20% of the price.

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

this is the technology board and nobody is talking about the solid state battery technology being unlockedthis is at least as big as back when lithium ion battery technology was unlockedthis changes everything. we're going to get flying cars and hoverboards now and a bunch of other shit that wasn't possible because batteries weren't good enough
>Over one hundred years of service under its belt.>Be fault tolerant, and self healing.>So simple the average person can rebuild it instead of making more ewaste.>Low energy density doesn't matter in grid and home applications.>Modern corporations won't even speak its name for (((some reason))).
Sodium batteries are supposedly coming out as well. At least wait for products to hit the market. Batteries are not exactly the most exciting segment out there.
>>107826716My coworker was showing me these new EVs (forgot brand) that was all about these solid state batteries. The website had so many claims about good it is that my take away is that it's better than lithium-ion in every single way and metric possible. Literally no downsides.So I'm calling bullcrap on this fake garbage until I see it (I won't)
a new battery technology has been discovered every year for the last 15 years, none of them have made it to market, why should I care about this one?
>>107833487>>Low energy density doesn't matter in grid and home applications.Most batteries are not used in grid or home applications: you plug shit into a socket.Energy density matters for portable devices which is where lithium batteries are used. Even for example a cordless drill that's mostly used "at home" still needs reasonable energy density because nobody will lug around a 1kg battery on their "handheld drill". Electrical devices are either mains-powered or need to be portable and therefore have dense batteries.Maybe the only exception is literal grid energy storage but they already use shit like gravity batteries on hydroelectric dams, which have infinity cycles and are better, cheaper, simpler and more durable than any chemical battery at that scale.

The saddest part is your tax money is turning con men into risk free investments. Hopefully I'm wrong and he gets wrecked forever.
>>107830409You forgot to add that it's not doing anything especially significant too, "AI" was in use everywhere before OpenAI created their ChatGPT Now it has a lot more compute and the natural language capabilities are its main selling points, but vast data driven algorithms were in use all over business. What Altman is really selling is the idea that A; his company (Or Big tech AI) can do it cheaper B; it can all be done if not autonomously with a far smaller staff footprint. It's doing a handful of novel things like text/image/video generation, but most companies don't really want or need that.
>>107830360Imagine a man that lacks reason, judgment and self-reflection. He knows fuck-all, but doesn't know that he doesn't know. He couldn't ask an intelligent question when baffled even if his life depended on it. In fact, he lacks the capacity to BE the baffled: whenever reality contradicts his malformed beliefs, he smooths it over with mindless rhetoric without skipping a beat. To him, a disagreement is just a ping-pong game: if he can respond somehow - anyhow - then the ball is in the opposite court. Just stay in character, throw in the buzzword and he's golden. For him to realize - spontaneously! - that he must be wrong if he's being forced into ever more contorted defenses? That's completely out of the question.Whom did I just describe?If you guessed it's a metaphor for language models, you're correct. If you guessed it's a description of their users, you're correct. It turns out that not all "people" are people. The best way to understand the AI cultist is to think of a chimp tard-wrangled by a language model that tries to substitute for higher cognition. They spend hours talking to a statistical toy and see a digital mirror image, even something to aspire to. To them, it's a paragon of "intelligence", because they genuinely can't fathom cognition any more sophisticated than that, only a hazy idea that there can be more of the same.

Some testing for "hyperrealistic anime", which NBP doesn't really do. I lol'd at NBP's "explicitly default anime style" (top right corner) the moment I saw that I was like "that's literally NBP".
What the fuck happened to ComfyUI KSampler? It was possible to put -1 in the "seed" field, but now apparently we can't do that any more? I tried manually typing "-1" by clicking twice in the "seed" field, but the "okay" button is disabled until I put 0 or more.
