What do I use now that Windows 10 is dead?
>>107814008At first I was like>Wait, this faggot doesn't know about IoT LTSC and massgrave?But then I was like>Oh yeah, this faggot things adblockers = theft.
>>107838565I don't care about new programs and games, they're shit. What I want to use or play just works. I've tried Linux, I've tried Wine and Proton, not everything works. So Windows 7 it is.
>>107837736it has sovl
>>107814008The same thing I was using before windows 10 died. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, my ever living trusty companion.

i'm gonna stop being a retard and actually backup my shiti have about 3TB of data, i don't have a lot of money so i figured i'm just gonna buy an HDD and plug it in directly once every 2 months or something.Should i buy portable HDD or regular HDD?WD passport or elements look OK and they're somewhat cheap at like $30 per TB
>>107838590Those external ones are probably more difficult to damage if youre bringing it around places but as long as you're not dropping it then it doesn't matter just get what is cheaper and looks more convenient for you
>>107838626i guess sata would be more convenient after all i'd just leave it unmounted and not spinningare those surveillance HDDs ok for this type of thing or should i get a WD RED? they are a bit more expensive though since it's 3.5 and not 2.5
>>107838650As long as you stick to brands like WD and avoid chink shit I dont think it matters all that much
>>107838522Doesn't really matter. I guess if its the same price per tb you might prefer already external or even 2.5" format external.Probably wont be enterprise drives from surplus production atm anyhow.
having to waste an entire USB 3 would be a real fucking pain but external ones are like good $5 per tb cheaper so i'm conflicted now

Seriously, there's nothing wrong about Palantir.The only dissidents who oppose it are tinfoil hats who believe governments would sooner turn against them instead of using it to their benefit, like hunting down notorious criminals and terrorists.

Uncle Sam doesn't care who or what is in the way. They will do whatever it takes, to complete the mission. Some say that's good.

The new beta release fugged up the app, just goes to a black screen
>>107838684That's why, once you get everything setup, and get trusted captchas again, you export your settings to a backup. That way you can just restore them with one click. It's what I did when I switched from beta to stable.
>>107838707And how do you think I would export when the app is nothing but a black screen/crash? Obviously would if I could.
>>107838721Hmm fair point. I guess I should do the same in the future.
Still can't search downloaded threads and hold to delete. Have to scroll to each one manually
>>107838729Lol I forgot :)Still tho, you should've had a backup saved.
If you want a tablet and also want to draw, should you get an iPad or a Samsung tablet?
>>107829802Don't do this. The surface is a huge piece of shit.
>>107838652Then why do people recommend it?
>>107838655Peoples needs are different. If you need a laptop you can sometimes draw on the surface is okay. If you want a dedicated drawing device very few people will suggest it since it was never produced as one. It's small, inefficient, and windows gets worse every quarter.
>>107837755Didn't Samsung also license the Wacom tech for their S-pens? Wonder if they're compatible.
the standard is pretty much the ipad (pro) with the pencil followed by those dedicated portables like wacom movink or the chinese knockoffs from huion/xp pen etc, buy ones from last year to now only, older ones are badthen samshit tablets with s-pen, mostly because lagdroid lolavoid any microshit surface, garbage devices for this purpose and bad devices overall

wait how do I update libreboot if I built it from source pull, build, flash again? I gotta re-apply my settings?
pls help, I need a thinkpad for making simple games (rendered with pbr methods, no raytracing) and it also needs to be a tuner laptop for my car. It needs to run both linux and windows, Cost doesn't matter, I want it to be good. I'm coming from a surface laptop and I'm tired of random things like usb drivers not working :((
My thinkpad isn't charging and only works with a connected power supply. When I remove it thinkpad shuts down. What do I do?

IPS or OLED?
>>107821187>muh contrastOLED has too many issues that retards avoid to talk about>black crush>vrr flicker with blacks>black smearing on low brightness>color hue shift when viewed off angles at a close distance>shittier whites and overall brightnessi came from good ips panels and have never felt an ave feeling that people hype about oled. and i compared it side by side on a daily basis. the blacks felt like a gimmick, given all the downsides. and i didn't even mention the burn-in issue (simply because i haven't experienced it yet and led wears out with time too, just not as notably)
there's also font fringing issues, but I will blame software for this for not keeping up with the hardware development and different pixel arrangements.

>>107837459>Ignore HE shill retards.>Get something with as short of a travel distance on the keypress as possible. Setting analog switches like HE to 0.1mm actuation isn't going to help. You will not be able to train yourself to only move down 0.11mm on all your fingers subconsciously.such a dumb fucking take. you can set rapid fire where you can actuate the key at any depth, just releasing it ever so slightly and pressing on it again. you have no fucking clue of the technology you're talking shit about, go school yourself moron
>>107836666Those soldered joints are very clean
>>107816536The most expensive I own is a Feenix Autore. but I only paid $50 for it. The metallized keycaps are cool but I don't use it because it's mxbrownslop.The most money I ever spent on a board is $80 for a keychron somethingorother that I also don't use.My daily driver is a corsair K70 that I bought for $15 on ebay and swapped all the switches for box navies. I unironically like the shitty ABS keycaps.
>>107837726Not nearly as low profile as those switches, also I don't know how well split ergo would translate to higher typing speed, if you haven't used ergo it takes a while to get used to and almost everyone I've seen has to work back up to their normal WPM. If you're really set on it that's on you to bite the bullet I guess.As you can see in that video... it's really just an end user issue, rather than the hardware after a certain point. Like the moment you get 1000hz and mid-press actuation you're already basically set.>>107838286And here comes the coping faggotry.I already know about rapid fire, it doesn't change the fact that the world record for WPM ignores that shit entirely by>setting his actuation at or even lower than the MX standard actuation points>his fingers come all the way up anywayAs I said, you troons cope sooo hard and think you can feather your fingers 0.01mm while typing at speed, not true. Go watch that video again and listen to how he is fuckin' SLAMMIN' the shit out of those keys. You're just a hypebeast subhuman who wants to write of any and all valid criticism as "muh fuckin' luddites n sheiiiiiiiiiit", which is ironic because analog input on keyboards is not new. It is, however, the newest gimmick gayming companies convince dipshits like you to get because you think your hardware.>uses 3.2mm actuation on Shift keysLike... lol... analogfags are such jokes.>b-b-butDo you type at 300wpm? Nope. That dude was using normal ass Brown switches before in 2021 and 2022 and was still typing at around 230wpm average btw, and only stopped using it because his keycaps faded.
>>107838286>>107838711Oh, and you wanna know an even simpler reason why rapid trigger* is fucking useless for typing? Because... you are not keeping your fingers on the same exact keys when typing, with any typing form because... you only have 10 digits, retard. Two of which are preoccupied on the spacebar only, so actually 8 that can hit alphas and mods.Even for gayming its only real proper use is rhythm games as a tiny form of assurance.
