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?

>>107857511It really isn't a red herring. Frequencies are the difference between a light bulb and an x-ray.

>>107858180It was great, they just inexplicably removed it in an update. Perhaps normgroids couldn't figure it out.
>>107858657It was useless

Have two laptops, one runs mint. Want to put something else on the other. pic related. Have used OpenBSD on VPS, liked it. Does it werx on desktop? Just use browser, GIMP, and terminal mostly.
Use freebsd. It's faster.
>>107851802OpenBSD works really good on laptops since devs dogfood it with their own setups. You may have to poke around with mixerctl to get audio working if it doesn't work out of the box

I'm playing with openSD on an old low resource minitower (1gb RAM)It's pretty barebones but surprisingly snappy.xfce4 failed so I'll stick with fvwm for now but gimp3 ran fine and firefox is doing pretty well.I'm still figuring how to use customisation files like .xsession but the man pages are more readable than I've found for linux.I'll take any suggestions for what to look into to make it look better, is openbox any good?

>>107858879That unit looks pristine.Too bad it can barely do anything. Same with my 3DS. The screen is really cool though.
>>107858458Plenty of old shit breaks down over time. Go do the same test with a Game Gear. Almost all of them are dead at this point due to failed capacitors. An unserviced original Xbox has a good chance of being totally dead and potentially damaged upon repair by now due to leaking caps (primarily the clock supercap, but the others are prone to failure as well). Dual Shock 2s are another thing dying en masse because the conductive film inside them is breaking down and needs to be replaced. Generally that manifests as phantom inputs and/or buttons not working at all.You can cherrypick anything to suit your narrative. The reality is that most electronics require maintenance (preventative in many cases) to carry on working beyond their original expected lifespan, which generally isn't that long for consumer goods. If you want to move beyond gayming we can talk about belts in the vast majority of cassette players and disc drives turning to goo, for example.

I am flying to Tokyo tomorrow and want to try my luck with finding a gpu in akihabara, either new or used. Anyone tried this or know anything about it? Which stores to try? Is it futile?
>>107855471What third world country are you from?From US it's around $800 round trip for flight, ~¥4-6,000 on trains to/from airport into Akihabara area, and I was paying like ¥12,500 a night staying in Asakusabashi at an APA, but you can easily do better with a couple months in advance.Food costs fucking nothing in Japan, you can live well on 10usd a day if you take the time to go to grocery stores you're looking at $1200-1600 all in for the trip solo near or in Akihabara
>>107858508>Food costs fucking nothing in Japan, you can live well on 10usd a day if you take the time to go to grocery storesNow explain why you'd travel to a foreign nation just to not enjoy their restaurants, their food cooked by their most experienced Chefs?
>>107858712>Now explain why you'd travel to a foreign nation just to not enjoy their restaurants, their food cooked by their most experienced Chefs?Because retard, the topic was to fly to Japan to buy a GPU, not eat food.Also, bars >>>>>> expensive restaurants. The fuck, go to Italy to eat food.
>>107858852>bars >>>>>> expensive restaurantsReally?
>>107847208Any other items worth purchasing then with how low the Yen is currently?
What is the point of VPN?Yes, you hide your IP address but you can't hide the fact that you are hiding your IP address because your new VPN IP address is already known as a datacenter IP address and you'll get automatically treated as a bot everywhere.Also, using a VPN requires you to install that VPN company's client software on your PC which can be considered as a privacy problem on its own.
>>107858488>Also, using a VPN requires you to install that VPN company's client software on your PC which can be considered as a privacy problem on its own.Only if you are retarded and use the bad ones. All okay VPN providers offer you to use wireguard/openvpn configs instead. That being said, all VPNs suck.

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

>>107839801Don't give advice without following through you piece of shit. Thats how you hurt people.Bromelain does work but it does this by partially liquefying your eye vitreous. It breaks up the floaters but it also eats away at important collagen complexes in your eye. Expect an early and serious posterior vitreous detachment when you get older since your vitreous will detach before it's supposed to and get your eyes checked often for signs of disease for the rest of your life.Take the bromelain slow and in low amounts as it's effects are cumulative and permanent. When your floaters start flying around because your vitreous is liquid you should stop taking the bromelain. You probably want to stop just as they start to move slightly and accept a longer period where they disappear. Your floaters will be completely gone over the course of a decade, the first year will be a dramatic improvement. Enjoy your life for the next couple years living in a snow globe.
I hate bright colours, 8 is more than enoughLight themes with yellow/warm backgrounds are the easiest for my eyes, I find myself using the classic mac "man page" scheme even on linux
>>107853057I turn my monitor brightness to 0% after sunset, light themes are still too bright>>107835866>why do so many people still choose dark?because we're not retards who can't comprehend that they're not looking at a sheet of paper but at an active light source.Dark, black-based themes- prevent OLED burn-in- use up to 60% less power on OLED's, meaning longer battery life on small phones and significant savings on large screens (48+ inch TV's draw hundreds of watts of power)- use significantly less power on CRT's (we're talking a 30-50 watts difference here on your typical 15-19 incher, several terawatt hours of electricity were wasted on "muh paper analogy" by boomers and Xers in the 90's and 00's)- indirectly save power by not requiring you to keep the lights turned on all the time just so your eyes won't burn- make my eye floaters less visible- don't give me and other photosensitive people headaches- don't fuck with the circadian rhythm of pets

I don't give a shit how ahead any Nvidia tech ever gets. They betrayed the consumer more than any company I've ever seen.
AMD CPU and Intel GPU is the weirdest combo everIf Intel makes something as fast as a 5090 one day to replace my 7900xtx I'll do it
>>107858665Yep, pseudo detail of DLSS is awesome. Using DLDSR with older games is awesome.
>>107858730>>107858665>nvidia marketing gaslighting their own customers
>>107858786I don't really follow marketing crap. I always used VSR for games, specially older ones, even before AMD and Nvidia officially supported it.Just something I noticed using DLDSR playing older games.
