people are starting to forget that Windows actually was good a long time ago, it has been 13 long years
>>107820326Windows is still good if you're on the correct branch. Objectively a clean install of W10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC just dwarfs anything linux has to offer. Piss easy offline local instalation that's done in like 4-5 simple steps, practically zero chance of hardware and software incompatibility, and very lightweight, bloatfree, and allows absolute control over the computer. Wanna block defender in gpedit? Sure. Wanna block updates in gpedit? Sure. Even allows removing packages that aren't removable in the non-IoT branch of LTSC. It's pure perfection. Home.
>>107820326I started caring about PC stuff when XP was still new, and with every single iteration of Windows from then on, people were saying it was shit and Linux was the only good OS
>>107841215not "people"linux users
>>107840702not enough coordination, look at troons, over a decade of linux development and no new features, less stability, constant shit flinging over riced window managers. ive tossed most of my collection and decided my kids will do everything on paper and read books

In my country everything is a app nowadays which sucks more ass than you can imagine.I'm a legit student and entitled to student discounts on trains. One day I noticed that my student card app had stopped working because it wanted to be updated and - you guessed it - my iOS version wasn't supported anymore.I had no time and even less interest in buying a new 500-dollar student card machine just because the guy who made the app is a lazy fuck who refuses to code in support for older iOS versions.You know what I did? I quickly coded a mockup version of the app. A screenshot wouldn't be enough because the app has animated shit to prevent that. I used CSS to mimic the animations.I remade the QR code so that it takes you to my personal website which simply states "yup, the student status is valid".Amazingly, it worked. The weird thing is that 10 years ago I couldn't of forged my physical student card no matter what. But in the "secure" digital era any asshole can remake an app in a couple of hours.>you're a criminalNo I'm nut. If I'd gotten caught, they could of phoned my university and check that my student status is valid. The app itself is just an unnecessary middle man making me watch ads and I don't understand why I'd have to use it.
>>107841066>just because the guy who made the app is a lazy fuck who refuses to code in support for older iOS versions.If you want to use ancient hardware, you have to switch to Android.Apple is killing support for iOS versions other than the last two or three in the App Store all the time. Buy new or gtfo, it's the Apple experience.
>>107841567But everyone keeps saying how Apple has the longest supportAndroid has a different approach. You can keep installing shit forever but you might actually brick your phone by upgrading to a newer version of AndroidIt happened to me. An update made the phone sluggish and USB no longer worked. Couldnt even roll backApple makes sure their products dont get bricked, but the downside is that you're literally barred from installing something that might not work
>>107841567>If you want to use ancient hardwareMy phone is 7 years old. I guess it classifies as "ancient" by today's standards.I think it's such a consumerist goy mindset to think your phone is too old when it physically still functions as intended.Something like a student card app is literally just a blinking light and a QR code as a standalone application.I dont see why a phone from 2010 wouldn't run that. Why does text and a gif animation require a new phone every 3 years? It's not like I'm getting new features - the old features are just requiring better hardware. This is what boggles my mind
>>107841625You NEED to be running a crypto miner in the background to securely authenticate your Salesforce profile, goy.
>>107841625>I dont see why a phone from 2010 wouldn't run that.Nobody said it couldn't, just that Apple doesn't want you to.

Why has no big brand succeeded in the e-ink tablet space?Huawei and Lenovo tried and abandoned their productsAmazon has the Kindle Scribe series but it's AmazonBoox has nice hardware and features but typical Chinese brand software longevitySuprenote is mehRemarkable is trying to be Apple too hard
>>107838357Look at Spectra 6.Maybe it's not magazine level but it's a whole lot different from Kaleido.
>>107826750I just want cheap 7" e-ink reader.Not +$100 dollaer recycled e-waste.My backlog of novels and books is keep getting bigger.
>>107831847I thought this too when i saw the date on my ereader. Its change log is vague, only thing it says is "security and stability" or something to that effect. Features that were in beta 10 years ago are still in the beta tab, there are no perceivable changes. In fact, the only thing that has changed is that i can no longer access the sync feature or the kobo book store from the reader. Just fails it every time. So yeah, surprising to see it was updated as recently as a few months ago only to have nothing different and less features working on it. Doesn't really mean much does it? Again, my original point was that i think it's actually crazy that this ancient device is barely any worse than something i just purchased in Amazon that released this last year. Its hard to believe so little has changed performance wise.
>>107840463I don't know the exact device you purchased but for I don't think that there have been no improvements.For reflowable ebooks a decade old device is good enough and there hasn't been much need to update but for pdf and the like those small devices with limited CPU and RAM were barely usable.
I just opened remarkable website, they lock down some features behind a subscription now lmaoI was interested in a big eink to read pdf like textbooks and papers, I guess it's gonna be boox fuck subscription jews. Is the a4 size (13.3") worth it or the 10.3" is enough?

>>107831372Lmaaoo sending this to an anti ai teacher of my university who said people like Linus would never use ai.
>>107841586while it would be funny, i presume this is under the assumption that linus only works on linux. he could be talking about linus in general, but i doubt he knows linus personally enough to really make that call, rather he's talking about "the guy who made and maintains linux", which in terms of a mental image of someone, is not the same thing as "linus"
>>107831372If you weren't already vibecoding by now you're just a brainlet who is ngmi. Smart people just don't go around bragging about it because it's a massive advantage and normies love screeching AI bad.
I want to learn how to make android apps. Where do I start. So far I've looked at the Android Basics with Compose Course https://developer.android.com/courses/android-basics-compose/courseI'm proficient with running and using LLMs (local and SaaS so I think that might help me a little bit.. yes I know I have a lot to learn but I'm willing to put time and effort into it.Current relevant hardware I have is an M4 max MacBook pro. I already have Android Studio installed as well as vs code and local LLM servers (I primarily use llama-server whenever possible)

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

>>107837899I got really into overclocking when I was a teenager because of this, I couldn't afford to upgrade so had to squeeze every last drop of performance out of what I had.

Why is /g/ so one-shotted by the 100% fallacy that they can't see the usefulness of AI?Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?
>This thread all the fucking timeThe issue is what people are using it for. And they're using it to flood everybody with low effort slop.It's used as an excuse to be lazy, not more productive.
