>microsoft has been suddenly fighting against "illegal" activation methods
microsoft has been retiring many outdated components and one of those components was exploited by outdated offline activation method.
did microsoft retire it only because of activation exploit? nobody knows but most likely not.

>>107850957
>send the ID of the computer plus its current installed edition to MS's activation servers and gets them to add the ID to the activation server no strings attached
Yeah but I'm talking about a fresh laptop here, no prior activations. So isn't it quite obvious that microsoft could just start blocking new registrations on their servers? Up until this point I've assumed they simply don't care and wouldn't want to cause angry hordes by blocking it.

>>107850988
It doesn't matter if the laptop is fresh or not, it'll activate fine all the same.

>>107851013
It won't if microsoft changes their servers and decides to block unauthorized hardware ID activations.

>>107851026
I mean if you could always just use the TSforge method instead if you wanted to.

It's speakers. It's paper/kevlar cone and a magnet. In actives there might be the need to replace capacitors but that's about it. I use B&W speakers from 1997 and it's still pretty good.

>>107850975
Well newer monitors have DSPs and shit, even newer generations of those Rokits do.
Plus amps have progressed too, relevant for monitors.

Otherwise yeah, unless your surround disintegrates or caps go bad, it's all good.

I wonder if that explains the mass exodus of administrative staff from Apple.
I would honestly prefer Siri to just stay dumb desu. Google is inevitably going to try and get more data out of people's phones and I don't really believe anything Apple will say about their privacy implementations.

>>107849663
What I don't understand is how Apple fell behind like this. Apple was the one who came out with Siri which everyone at the time look at as something that would eventually progress into what we have now with conversational AI and agentic AI. Then they just did next to nothing with it, allowed Google to come in and surpass it with Google Assistant, allowed Bixby to even show some usefulness in comparison and now Siri is going to be powered by the Gemini models because they dropped the ball that hard. Was Steve Jobs really that much better than Tim Cook at that when he passed basically all progress and vision at Apple stopped and they just focused on maximizing their existing lineups?

>>107849663
can you actually imagine working for Apple though? I literally don't know anyone who would stoop that low. It's probably the shittiest big tech company to work for, unless you're some bleeding-edge hardware-only designer cuck.

>>107850906
because Apple treats their wage cattle like shit. again, who the fuck wants to work for Apple? If you're in the general area and so normal faggot coded you can go into the giant anus office building a day and zone out, maybe it's tolerable.

Then use a png optimizer first.

Didn't your mom tell you to not read in the dark? That's essentially what you are doing with dark theme. If you are going to unnaturally stare at screens from close distance, at least attempt to do it in an environment with natural level of lighting.

Some study found said that the lack of natural light exposure is one of the potential causes nearsightedness and eye diseases, could be related to the brightness (sun light is very bright), but also the lack of infrared frequencies in led lighting.

Likely the most optimal setup health-wise would be using a 65" tv at a distance, with light theme, in a well-lit room and add some infrared heat lamps to balance out the blue light.

Helix, but I am pretty sure any text editor with syntax highlighting is capable of a similar theme. But it has to be made custom for this approach. This is due to the typical light themes that have colored text adjusts the contrast of the colors for white. When highlighting the background you need to use very light colors to contrast well with black instead. I think It works exceptionally well for LaTeX since I just want to highlight the structure of the markup. Here is another similar theme that I use for Zig.

>>107850223
There is nothing natural about the light from light themes.
It's way too blue and there absolutely bit enough orange and red for your eyes to bit strain unnecessarily.
If you use f.lux or similar and force it to night time constantly then it might be better than dark theme for your eyes.

>>107837209
It's the opposite you tard, brown eyes are better at handling bright light than light eyes

>>107850776
Well, I would argue it's slightly more natural compared to having your retinas lasered with the same blue light when they are adapted to a brightness level of a dark cave, which makes them operate on heightened sensitivity.

is there a media/file picker for android that seamlessly connects to other servers (like an ftp one), moving all my media on my phone to one seems like a good idea so its not taking up an enormous amount of space since its like 10 years of saved up images
bonus points if it automatically moves off newly saved media to the server and automatically generates thumbnails and stuff

Documents provider apps integrates into the android file picker, just pick one for whatever protocol you use.
Some file explorer apps are also documents providers themselves.

Using old and insecure proprietary firmware baked into your hardware components doesn't make you any more free than loading newer firmware into those components through your OS.

Its just a stallman cope so he can pretend the software doesn't exist so he doesn't look like a giant hypocrite when using any computer (which he is).

Stable, rolling release, binary-based. Pick two, then install Arch, Debian, or Gentoo.

the current world we live in is the result of an AI running out of real input data: it's a simulation where we are made to endure various hardships so that the AI can learn from how we solved our problems.

The ancient Gnostics said that the demiurge is powerful but demented. That's because the demiurge is just ChatGPT on crack.

>>107850254
You can clearly see it started to go downhill when the moderation became compoundingly more retarded. AI just sped it up a little.

Consider the possibility that every programming question that someone else could reasonably have an answer for has already been asked. I mean that's over 50 million questions there. You don't need to ask a new question when it's already the top google result.

Ok, sure, but when robots can do everything then what, you have few immortal billionaires and their mechanical servants? Intelligent life would be identical in terms of observation to some ASI spreading mechanism in deep space. What would it do? Capture more star power, build more colonies, or just stay on their little solar system and converting it into simulation computer where they can just live for trillions of years in an ideal fake world.
>holy shit my purpose is to enjoy life so other intelligent life would have to be gorillions everywhere in the galaxy
So instead of lot of people it will be smaller number of people with bigger luxury? Or are you saying that ASI will just kill off humans and have its own goals?

What I meant is that lot of people have some crazy shit to say that they keep to themselves or their close friends, but then go to a chatbot and if they think it’s a smart conscious entity they will tell them the crazy shit and because LLMs operate on roleplaying (system prompt tells them to be helpful assistants) they will give in to their crazy shit, while normal people think LLMs are just dumbass clankers that can write well and sometimes make shit up

The people who get roped into it dont have crazy ideas involving racism or other wrongthink and the sycophancy makes them trust the chatbot more.
