ITT: Failed tech innovations

>>1078581803DS 3D. I personally loved it but I heard it gave most people headaches.>>107860588I remember Google's attempt. Everybody hated it. Wear Google Glass in public? You're the creepy nigger!
>>107858180Most NPC shit ever.
>>107860685No tactile feedback ruins the keyboard.
>>107860685I remember this. So weird.
BFGPU bros... how are you holding up? Think we'll make it another 5 years? How is reliability?
>>10785958233%, see >>107859507TPU doesn't use DLSS in their benchmarks.
>>107859412And now both 3090 and 4090 have gone up, with 3090 at 750 or higher.
>>107859631Depends more on the specific manufacturer and SKU. Some use better coils and dampen the coils.

Have two laptops, one runs mint. Want to put something else on the other. pic related. Have used OpenBSD on VPS, liked it. Does it werx on desktop? Just use browser, GIMP, and terminal mostly.
>>107851802Unironically, put hackintosh.
I'm playing with openSD on an old low resource minitower (1gb RAM)It's pretty barebones but surprisingly snappy.xfce4 failed so I'll stick with fvwm for now but gimp3 ran fine and firefox is doing pretty well.I'm still figuring how to use customisation files like .xsession but the man pages are more readable than I've found for linux.I'll take any suggestions for what to look into to make it look better, is openbox any good?

>>107858909oh so gimp does workwill have to look into thatalso want to try a window managertried i3 but it was borked out of the box for meand the default window manager wouldn't run ungoogled-chromium out of the boxalso couldn't get ublock origin or ublock origin lite to work on ungoogled chromiumtried some online crx chrome extension converter for further workaround attempt but somehow the system crashed when it started to download the resultnot so shrimple after allneckbeard keeps growin tho
>>107859548I don't know if it'll help you, but I just came across this blog about how you can customise the base system window manager CWM to do pretty cool things.https://antonyfb.com/blog/my-cwm-config.htmlI'm still looking to get more aquanted with these systems but it seems pretty flexible so I want to try out what I can if it means my incredibly constrained system is usable.
You don't need a new computer. Your COVID PC is good enough.
>>107850544thats a 15 year old junker anon, why did you even spend money putting together a jaguar system
I would like to replace my gtx1080 but every single new card i've tried had such annoying coil whine i ended up returning them.
>>107859171Not really. Windows 11 is worse for no good reason and doesn't run on an absolute shirload of hardware. You can buy laptops with mobile versions of the 4090 which can't run W11 because it doesn't have the right security module on the motherboard.
>>107850517>You don't need a new computerprove me wrong but 2023 7945HX3d+4090 close enough to 9955HX3d+5090.Why U still need to upgrade?

I am buying a Google Pixel 7a because my Samsung A03s doesn't work with voicemail and doesn't charge properly.What am I in for buying a Google Pixel 7a? What did I do wrong with my Samsung?Is Google Pixel 7a a good phone? I heard mixed things about Google Pixels being slow but other things about it being really useful. The one I am getting is octa-core and has 128 gigabytes.
Just factory reset your A03s and see if it fixes it>pixel 7aNigga if you're a jew with your money like I am just get a Moto G 2024 or 2025 for like 150 bucks. At least that shit comes with an SD card slot and headphone jack.
>>107856995>just buy the worse UX with forced ads , locked down to the point it's literally useless.Go back to r3ddit, low IQ zoomer faggot.
>>107857370Yeah, but Motorola sucks ass at QA
>>107856975I have it. It's fine, but too big for my taste so I downgraded to an iPhone SE and I'm using the Pixel just for banking.>>107857152Did they not remove the headphone jack, the mute toggle, fingerprint scanner and home button, ?
>>107856975>Is Google Pixel 7a a good phone?My friend had 3 and the battery almost blew up each time. I have 7a and it sucks donkey dick too. It's dying on me right now. I am never going with pixels again, it's back to Samsung
Check out my voxel engine anons. Written in C++ using OpenGL. Infinite world in every direction, including up and down. Not even close to complete yet, but I'm proud of what I've done so far.
>>107846997>>107846997>>107846997ZOMG!!!SOURCE!!!
>>107846997That really cool. Good job anon! :)
>>107852704>talentless nigger caught using chatgpt slop>every reply is just low iq retard nigger shitit really is that easy to expose you losers as the massive losers that you truly are. ask chatgpt for instructions on how to kill yourself after embarrassing yourself on an imageboard.
>>107857790doing this shit with CUDA and modern video cards is so simple that a rabies infected ape could produce the same thing in 15 minutes. are you fucking kidding me cunt? try doing it on a machine that has no shaders, cuda and the cpu is doing all the work on bitplanes. if you get started now you might have it done by the end of the year.
>>107860607Settle down beavis it's just a kid doing a class project
>be me>working at local county government as software dev about a decade ago>we have a jeet working on the team as well for unknown reasons>the jeet leaves and I'm assigned with modernizing an application he wrote, and converting it from PHP to C#>app is for tracking how the county commissioners vote on approving/rejecting contracts, should only need to track if they're approved, denied, or still pending a decision>instead of just counting if two of the three county commissioners have voted to appprove, he created the most convoluted calculation system I have ever seen>a vote to approve is 1, a vote to reject is 4, abstaining from a vote is 13, being absent for a vote is 40>if you were paying attention, each number is the previous number times 3 plus 1>jeet does this because he can uniquely identify what each vote is even after turning them into numbers>almost brilliant in a retard savant way, he found a way to not have to learn what an enum is>the PHP code then has the most complicated spider web of ifs and else ifs I've ever seen, calculating if the contract is approved or not>I turn his 1000+ line of nonsense into 12 lines of C#>mfwShare your horror stories, bonus points if they involve jeets shitting out unmaintainable spaghetti code
>>107859563Not that it makes it much better, but it's actually Angular. I think JavaScript frameworks are a necessary evil in web dev since they provide some barriers to keep retards caged in and less able to fuck shit up. To continue about that guy, for months I was fuming with his code and how it was bad, but the scrum master/full stack guy who was the one mostly delegating and keeping things on track hadn't yet experienced the horror. Eventually he started to be affected by it and understood my whining and they've made steps to try and get his code up to a higher standard. It's still not and I'm extra tough on his PRs, but it's better.
>>107798202im in an unclass lab, but it's cleared work where you need a TS and i actually have a jeet on my team believe it or not. he's about to get cut though because he wont shut the fuck up about AI and keeps playing on his phone when there's work to do. older guy, heavy accent, lived in india the whole first half of his life. they started talking about moving him off the team and he started rifling out his resume to random people who have no hiring say or any power whatsoever. keeps talking about connections he's making there. i'm his lead and i literally cant reign him in he's not manageable and he wont stop sperging. he has a chip on his shoulder about not being in a lead or architect position but there's no way he can communicate well enough to ever do that, especially in america.
>>107859434As a Millennial, I feel that Gen X, people 5 to 15 years older than me are the ones that really have the deepest understanding of the systems, actually.I agree that Zoomers grown on smartphones and apps have usually basically zero understanding of the whole system. Can be good juniors and be very good at developments with smaller scopes.

BATTLE STATIONSShow your setups
>>107860005Because like with everything, majority is always tasteless shit. Also I wouldn't say 98%, it's mostly the western, specially American content. It screams "as generic as one cheerleader is to another".

Should I get a PS/2 mouse and keyboard?The only advantage I've heard is that they will keep working regardless of drivers.
why the hell would you want to use ps2, it doesn't even support hotswap.
>>107854912It's the superior system. Any computer released after the ps/2 standard that didn't feature ps/2 ports is literal garbage designed by niggers.
>>107852353I mean, do PCs even have those ports anymore?
>>107852353PS/2 mouse is not necessary because it's not as low level as keyboard. processor does not understand mouse movementPS/2 keyboard on the other hands sends keystrokes directly to the processor and has extremely small delays
>>107852353You can stick it up your ass and then somebody can control you with a mouse click. I did that and my anus is happier than ever
>China can't innovat...https://x.com/i/status/2009863532603687361
>>107845978What's the power output of this?I'm sure it's several times less than a single stationary windmill.What's the maintenance cost of this?I'm sure it's several times more than a single stationary windmill.As always, their innovations are just functionless mock-ups.Otherwise you would see entire farms of them but you don't. Therefore, it's bullshit.

>>107854998You don't even need drones. You can probably literally shoot/laser them down from orbit.
The Chinese invented the BLIMP?Oh, the humanity...
>>107860101LOOK! ITS THE GOODYEAR BLIMP!
>update to firefox 147>firefox news page auto opens>see thisBut why? I literally swapped from Brave the other day.It's so fucking sad and they even just announced HDR support and split view in Nightly.
>"Mozilla has contacted me shortly after writing the story to confirm that the “AI Kill Switch” will be implemented in Q1 2026, as Mozilla’s new CEO Anthony Enzor-DeMeo also confirmed this earlier today on Reddit. However, once you use the AI Kill Switch, if you want the AI features back you will have to re-install the web-browser."Womp womp

>>107860436>>107860455It's the end times. Soon it'll be go Blink/Chromium or go broke.
>>107860564ladybird will save us all
how can AI solve this issue once the internet is 99% slop? just training on closed sources? which sources?
>>107860186human creativity gets feedback from the real world, AI slop online doesn't
>>107860200>AI slop online doesn'tI just told you in this >>107859971 post that is does.
>>107860361you didn't say anything, you claim it does but there's no selection mechanism like in real life where chuds and trannies don't reproduce or die, but AI generated chuds and trannies can live forever
>>107860400>chuds and tranniesI see. So that's what this was about all this time.
>>107860424it's just an example of ideas that won't have a long shelf life in the real world, but can be kept forever online, could be anything else dysfunctional like that
You should close browser tabs when you're done with them. If you want to quickly get back to where you were, there is a separate technology for that: bookmarks.
>>107857865Maybe for retards low iq anons who put 10k tabs there every day and never do anything useful. I only save things I actually want to continue or see later and I remove them immediately after not needing them anymore. I have permanent used bookmarks including large folders of bookmarks I use everyday, then I put inside the "Other Bookmarks" that is a buffer I go through every day and delete after.
I have hundreds of tabs open on my phone from years ago because I'm a hoarder and I don't want to lose all the porn videos I like by forgetting about them in my thousands and thousands of bookmarks
>>107859811Try and stop me marieI also have 12 empty glasses and plates on my desk and two hundred thousand saved images in my hard driveClutter is a way of life
>>107856203Motherfucker. I do not have a sickness. No.Go away.
>>107859811I'd close Marie's tabs any day of the week.
whats with all the negative sentiment on older windows versions?>don't use xp, look at this video, the minute he connects to the Internet he's already got a virus!!!!!!!that isn't even remotely true and in that video he clearly states that he turned off the firewall and purposefully opened up a backdoor to his computerive literally been using Windows 7 since its launch and my computer still works perfectly fine
>>107856291Tranny lie, there are plenty of up to date web browsers for both XP and 7, like r3dfox, lun3r, thorium and ghidra.>>107856327>implying that cybercriminals targeting regular people would ever bother with any evasion tactics on someone's home network>>107856445NAT + common sense is literally enough for >90% of people out there, stop pretending that your average pajeet/russian hacker has the same skills and resources as John Robertson from NSA.>>107856436Most pirated software, even this days, is designed to be run locally and offline, forever. To be truly yours. Just stop moralfagging and you will be fine.
>>107860428Nothing comes even close to Supermium. Just be sure to use it in it's portable form with the ungoogled-supermium switch or you get google BITS hijacking.
>>107856612You won't get it because there are still plenty of up to date browsers still maintained for XP and 7.>>107856885>notepad sucksleast delusional linux tranny>>107857073tranny
>>107860508Supermium works fine but people often mumble that its kiked the same way as normal chromium, so I kinda stopped using it.
>>107860527Hence the portable, ungoogled switch suggestion. That and standard tweaks available from the settings panel get you down to literal zero spying or pointless homecalling. Not one unsolicited connection is ever established, much like in PaleMoon based browsers.I put it off for a while because of the aforementioned hijacking, but when operated correctly it's perfectly safe.
