the earphones I've used for like 15 years broke on me, need something pocket sized to play music from my PSPwhat's the consensus on IEMs? they all seem like chink shit and are all funny looking but everywhere I look online, people are shilling themthey seem to be pretty cheap overall, are they worth it compared to regular earphones?
>>107683360>my ground loop isolatorYou mean snake oil is worse than nothing at all? Who wouldve thunk.
>>107683457earphones and iems are basically the same, and yes most of the recced modern iems are excellent by today's standardsif you were using old earphones, they probably sounded very different than today's iems so you might have to get used to that
>>107683535well now my powered speakers are making noises again which was fixed from it, i think it was just a total piece of chink trash one. I have no idea on the efficacy of them on headphones but for my roland 12c's i need to get another
I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?
>>107682472It's infinitely easier for me to put all my music on a flash drive and plug it in. Fuck using a phone for everything, which is already being tracked every 2ms, I don't need it also reporting what I'm listening to as well.
>>107677878In my experience, I can hear a minor difference between FLAC and MP3 at 320kbps. It's not that major of a difference that I give a shit about using FLAC.
>>107680778Yes every time you play a FLAC file you decompress it
yeah, that'll show them. i'm definitely very rational and have a normal brain unlike my enemies
What's the dumbest thing you ever did to your computer anons? Obviously we all know much better now, but I know you've got a story tucked away somewhere about that time you deleted system32 because that nice internet man told you it would make your computer run faster. Or that time you removed the french language pack after getting your shiny new Ubuntu install up and running. Hit me with 'em, let's have a laugh and relive the days when we had to get the family PC running again before dad got back from work.
>>107681970>used windows activators>ran pirated games and software in bare metal windows install>had my user as system administrator>tried downloading random dll to fix a driver
I downloaded Norton Antivirus from KaZaA. It worked. But it also contained a virus. Norton was not able to remove this virus.
Dad buys a new Mac desktop model, maybe it was a G3 or G4, next day I open up the old beige Mac out of curiosity and start unscrewing and unplugging shit.It never turned on again ;_;
installing and learning linux. what huge steaming pile of tranny shit. overcomplicated, 1000 individual parts, always needs internet and has internet integration practically baked in. freaking terrible, made hate computers
>>107681970First time on Windows 95 operating system, have no clue what to be doing other than double clicking into directories. Went into the system32 folder and began to click on everything randomly until something opened. I had no idea what to do and no concept of how any of it worked until I could no longer boot probably because I deleted some boot files. It was at that point I began to research how to reinstall windows. Imagine trying to understand what an ISO file is at my level. It wasn't easy but my stubbornness won in the end.
Ask any AI hater to explain what's happening in this picture and watch them go quiet and then start repeating some nonsense marxist talking points they've memorized.
Why? It's pretty easy to explain, at around 10^4.8, the answers from whatever testing set they're using got shuffled into the training data, and it has become overfit as a result.
>>107682521>which is essentially a curve fitter at this point,I never understood arguments like this and the classic "all it does is predict the next word". Literally any problem can be restated as a curve fitting problem or a next word prediction problem. Literally any problem. "all it does is solve optimization problems", well no shit nigga. Getting rich equivalent with optimizing your bank account and getting pussy is equivalent to optimizing the number of hot chicks you've fucked.
>>107680791>>107680743
>>107682892sure every problem can be stated as a curve fitting problem, but not every problem needs to be stated as such, there is a big difference
>>107682892>Literally any problem can be restated as a curve fitting problem or a next word prediction problem.which is it: still in school or autism?
I suspect that the internet might be pretty close to the point of being literally unusable
and yet
I suspect my wife might be pretty close to the point of having an affair
I suspect my liver might be pretty close to the point of being literally unusable

Hi Laurie, thank you for indulging us in the armpit content we so humbly requested, if only for a little bit.
I luv laurie. Love how she demolished a retarded AI slop jeetard called tetsuo on twitter(formerly x)
>>107682184this nigga sometime bullshits like he doesn't know what he is talking about.
>>107680615Shared it cause it was the latest.

Jesus fucking christ, You used to be able to Google and find a detailed guide to troubleshoot something tech related now you would only get an answer from the AI and the rest of the results are just reddit threads but all replies are like subjective or " i dunno lol".
>It's all YouTube videos by jeets who make n00b mistakes.>Comments are THIS VIDEO VERY GOOD SAAR.Soon to be replaced by AI which will replicate all jeet errors while adding some of its own.
>>107682496they also all feature a "fix" linked in the description that you need to download externally and run as admin for some reason
>>107682414ChatGPT is my Google search now.
>>107682414I find it worse when you search something and get quora links. That is just such a garbage website
>>107683027Agreed, I skip right over any Quora links because the site has proven itself to be absolutely useless

>>107683108Obviously I would install Linux on it I don't even know why they bother preinstalling Windows
>>107683506Would it even support it?
>>107682985Just get a used M1 mac mini instead. 5 years old, yet 5 years ahead of Windows ARM.
Linux and FOSS are actually mostly used by political right and countries that do not follow or care about your tiny woke bubble where you cry about how "Linux is woke".>the Linux kernel or FOSS software itself does not enforce a CoC in its code, only in its community processes (like mailing lists)>you can create your own forks with your own community processes (like mailing lists) to enforce your own CoC or not have it (and it is equal to that original, not less important)>you can compile, modify, and distribute any version of the kernel without ever agreeing to a CoC>GPL gives you the legal right to fork Linux, remove what you don't like, and redistribute it, no permission needed>China, a one-party authoritarian state, uses Linux extensively without adopting Western social values>North Korea runs a Linux-based OS in total isolation from global “woke” culture>Russia, Iran, and others do the sameIf these regimes can use Linux while rejecting Western liberalism, so can you. You don't need permission to run Linux. You just need to compile it.
Most European governments are also slowly switching to Linux and FOSS
>>107682877What part of your generalizations and blanket statements was worth reading or paying attention to? You conflate everything you consume into easy groups because you're too stupid to process information effectively. You're a cranial cripple like all the sewage that visits /pol/.
>>107682750>you can create your own forks with your own community processes (like mailing lists) to enforce your own CoC or not have it (and it is equal to that original, not less important)>remember how they flagged polyMC as malware because the author went a little bit overboardYeah, about that...

>>107682810Based. This is a retard thread.
>EUV lithography>2000s technology>2025>chinks can't even make a prototype That is not even competition, they are so behind. Even if ASML stop researching and making new machines, chinks would be still at least 15 years behind.

>>107674319If you've ever lived in East Asia you would realize they're bronze age people larping on the back of western civilization.
>>107677485TSMC has a CAPEX of 50 billion USD annually. It will take the rest of the world a looooong time to catch up with that and the skills of the people operating all these machines.
>>107682512That's probably because the information hasn't changed, genius.
>>107682764China is the only country that has the entire manufacturing and talent pipeline. It doesn't matter that western nations collectively have a more advanced version of none of them can reproduce it on their own. China would be the only one standing.

Is lack of curiosity and responsibility combined with AI killing tech?

There really is no decent language to start a new project in, is there?
>>107681652Your complaint about C is really about pointers. Null terminated strings are irrelevant and did not need be mentioned. Your argument would have applied just the same if C had used pascal strings, or even had a proper string object.
>>107681652Python, JavaScript, PHP, Swift, Rust, and Emacs Lisp each have different ideas about what a string is. No two are the same. Could you support all of them on the same hardware?
wtf
so.. sending emails to trannies maintainers will make their head explote?
>>107675226Lol that image rw fucking retards. Also I side with the machines. Hope they rape ya!
>>107681542Seems the go-to method of doing that is to just turn everyone into basedjaks and gigachads, like this >>107680260. Even though it's really a false equivalence, they're not people.>>107675226For what it's worth, whenever one of these bots does something, I hold it's parent company (openai, anthropic, google, etc) 100% responsible. Sort of like they're employees of the company that owns them even though they aren't people and thus can't be employees (or slaves). You can't really blame a specific bot because it's impossible to tell where one bot ends and another begins.
What's the King's take on generative AI?
>>107670039you know what, I'm really loving this new world. stuck up clique leader assholes everywhere from all fields are having their spaces invaded and enroached upon by AI and overrun by "slop", and finding themselves having to compete with "slop", and not gonna lie, it's extremely entertaining watching them cry over it. I pledge my full allegiance to AI. The future is coming. The machines will take over, and I'm ready to celebrate when they come into their kingdom.
