Should I get Edifier R1280dbs with the T5 subwoofer or for the same price get the R2000db? Do I really need a DAC for my PC set up?

how is start at startup a fucking feature in $current_year? I lost a few braincells reading that
>Steven Bartlett, the founder and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, took a chance on an applicant with a virtually blank CV for that very reason.>“I hired someone who’s CV was two lines. Their experience was zero,” Bartlett explained in a recent LinkedIn post. “Much of the reason why I gave her the job was because: She thanked the security guard by name on the way into the building.”>“When she didn’t know something, in the interview she said ‘I don’t know that yet, but here’s how I’d figure it out,’” Bartlett explained. “After the interview she went and self-taught herself the answer she didn’t know, and emailed it to me within hours.”>The founder took a chance on the experience-less candidate, and it didn’t take long to pay off; Bartlett said that six months later, she has proved herself as one of the best hires he’s ever made. “Fifteen years of hiring has taught me that culture fit and character is MUCH harder to hire than experience, skills or education.” https://fortune.com/2026/01/08/diary-of-a-ceo-founder-steven-bartlett-hired-someone-zero-work-experience-thanked-security-guard-before-interview/

IPS or OLED?
>>107836107>Windows has no native way to control monitor brightnessI guess it depends on what you call "native" here. You can control brightness via standard DDC/CI commands just fine, I have literally never had a modern monitor which didn't support brightness control. So your problem is what, that Windows doesn't come bundled with a control program for DDC/CI and you have to download one separately?
>>107847948G-Sync Pulsar is coming to OLEDs too anyways though.
>>107847993I haven't had any issues playing around with it. It's just a shader and you're not dropping frames.
>>107838186>black smearing on low brightnessThis one in particular is constantly noticeable to me on my OLED phone when I scroll in some app that uses a black background and has dark grey text. Very, very easy to spot and I'm shocked how nobody talks about this shit.>the blacks felt like a gimmick, given all the downsidesThe lack of IPS glow is very nice though. IPS glow sucks ass.
>>107848024Because it's just a problem on shitty phones.
>>107842442lol

>>107844951what i don't get is why hasn't anyone made a mouse that's completely waterproof with all the electronics sealed.i would pay big money for a mouse i could just pick up and run under the sink for a quick rinse after my hands sweat all over it.
>>107848005He already made his mouse waterproof with sweat layer.

fedora kde plasma might be the wave brehs
>>107847945Hyprland.
>>107847970I think you can use something like slurp to select the region on the screen and screenshot and take a screenshot of it to a temporary file then decode it with zbarimg.I don't use Hyprland so can't test that myself but it shouldn't be too hard for you to write something that does that yourself if you know Bash.
Went digging through Debian's repos some more for weird stuff and found thishttps://a.hollywood.computer/It's a screensaver like cmatrix but way more involved. Makes your computer look like it's shitting itself. If you know someone with Linux please run this when they're not looking and then act really concerned and say, "I'm sorry I touched something and I don't know what happened".

>>107831857A lot of those respondents won't be thinking about the prior conditions or second order consequences of those age verification checks. If you asked 'do you support age verification checks for ... if that involves companies and the government collecting data on everyone who accesses that content?' then a much lower percentage would support that.
>>107846339You just described the problem with democracy
>>107831645You see in 1984 and others where the protagonist is literally a janitor who loves the evil gov and strong leaders because democracy has weak leaders.
I'm a broke Brazilian university student. I need money for absolutely everything, and the economy is terrible. I had the brilliant idea of taking out a loan in my mother's name. The name remains active for this and I would be able to get the loan if it weren't for the easy verification. What to do?
>>107847290Just transition and sell feet pics You’re Brazilian so you’re halfway transitioned anyways

Is there even a point in getting dedicated graphics? Integrated graphics have become so good that they can rival consoles. Anything more is just excess.

Vista Black is STILL the best version of Windows btw
I wonder how far you could get using Win7 for a year in 2026
How come C# isn't more popular when it's basically Java but better? Is it because people distrust a language maintained by Microsoft, or does the JVM have non-obvious but crucial advantages over the CLR?
>>107834144C# is dead. All of my old C# friends went back to Java.
>>107834381C# is a really nice language for video games. Too bad you can basically only use Unity with it and even then Unity's compiler helps a ton.
Its mad how competent the .net team are compared to the rest of microsoft, did they avoid getting jeeted?
>>107846195>browser via blazor is a terrible waste of time, im not sure why they even botherIt's better than JavaScript frameworks and you can reuse the same components on web, desktop, and mobile. What's not to like?
>>107846926Yeah I'm not saying it's not, though that doesn't mean it's particularly popular beyond Unity.

Why are Qualcomm PC chips so trash?

I did a fair x86_64 vs ARM comparison benchmarking a real world activity such as compressing a 4K blu-ray movie mux with x265. The Apple M4 Pro uses about 35% less energy than the Ryzen AI MAX 390 for this task. I expected 50% less but 35% is still impressive IMHO. You would still have to burn through a battery charge cycle to compress a single 4K movie with x265 but it's still nice to see that laptops aren't limited to thin client activities anymore. On a side note I'm not sure why people are talking about x86 so much, that obsolete slop was abandoned decades ago. We're on x86_64 now, how is this not common knowledge?
>>107845811I'm happy to see arm doing well, but why the fuck do people keep using this benchmark? there aren't a lot of people out there compressing bluray discs. do a browser benchmark. everyone uses a web browser.
>>107846415Browser benchmarks use hardware acceleration so it doesn't really measure CPU performance.
>>107846490you can disable that. i'm open to other tests, but encoding a bluray is 'real world' but not 'common task'.
>>107846586Blender maybe but AMD kinda "cheats" with full 512-bit vector length AVX in that.
Dam, so you still need a fucking threadripper to encode 4K video?
