It's been a few years since its birth, and many people in tech have made similar decisions, mostly because they struggle to find other options. Over the years they have seen this combination of two different worlds nurtured, and regret, anger, relief, and many emotions ensuedIs it worth it, /g/?

>>107717735Factory lube jobs are notoriously shitty, particularly when it comes to stabilizers. Even in the case where lubed stabs are done well enough, the act of shipping is enough to make the lube settle in ways to reintroduce ticking or interference. OEMs are also not using actually decent stabs like typeplus, they’re usually using cheap cherry clip in pieces of shit or something inhouse and subpar.Also there are only a few switch manufacturers that have gotten lube right to the point that the OOTB experience is as good as it’s gonna get.So, no, actually. Some mass produced OEM prebuilt board isn’t going to compete in quality with an autist going through the motions lubing and filming switches and lubing stabs and straightening stab wires themselves. Long standing OEMs are also years behind the game when it comes basic features and material choice, open source firmware, etc.
>>107717735Fucking retard. Muh boutiques are 100x better than OEMslop boards and they don't use the best stabs, the best PCBs, or have the best typing feel or acoustics. GET FUCKED NORMGROID

The steam frame is gonna cost like 700 dollars maybe more with the RAM issues going isn't it? The Quest 3 was being sold for 407+100 dollar in Amazon credit a week ago.

Now that we've had smart phones for almost 19 years, what lessons have been learned about extending battery life? Meaning both extending battery life within a single charge cycle, as well as extending the lifetime usability of the battery?>slow charging whenever possible since fast charging supposedly degrades battery>never letting the battery get completely full, or completely empty (trying to keep it roughly below 80%, but above 20% right?)>OLED screens that actually turn off pixels, thus saving a bit on power whenever the color black is displayed>avoiding apps with lots of background processes that force your CPU to be constantly under load>just having a bigger battery to begin withanything else that we've collectively learned so far?
>>107717803basically avoid heating.Nowadays most of it solved or got improved by more advanced tech like bigger battery capacity in smaller size/silicone carbon, better cpu power efficiency. better OS optimization, and bypass charging, better cooling system too.I remember greenify got obsolete because the latest android at that time already has optimized background process and constantly killing it with greenify and starting it was counterintuitive.
>>107715637your phone has LTPO, so keep it at default. that dynamically lowers it 1hz on static content
>>107716165it has an active cooling fan in the camera bump lol and still IP68, neat
>>107717803that first one is debunked, fast charging doesn't make a difference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLS5Cg_yNdM

How do I cope with the fact that I might have cockblocked myself out of a higher salary?I had a year long internship on this corpo where they made it clear than they wanted me after stating that I was getting an offer somewhere else.This gave me the upper hand, but the moment they asked me "How much do you expect to earn?" (this is in a different department from where I had my internship) I fucking froze and gave them an acceptable range as a junior.Then they gave me a salary slightly above of what I asked.This could be considered a win.I earn slightly more than most of my former coworkers (who are data analysts while I am now an engineer), more than anybody out of my CS friend group, whilst ascending from lower to upper-middle class in my country. And all this as a recent graduate.However, the greedy bastard inside me still wonders how much more I could have gotten.
If they paid you more than you asked for then yes fucking obviously you gave a number that was way too fucking low lmao. Your coworkers are making at least 40% more than you. And don't forget your first job locks in your total wages for life since raises are incrimental.
>>107718228Another thing is that they pretty much just opened up this role with me, as there was no other guy with my established duties before. Perhaps I should have asked for more than a junior salary? The salary I got is above average for that position as a junior in my city. What can I do now?
>>107718263You have to switch employers and lie about your current salary. like, by a lot. Although you're stuck for 1-4 years depending on your country for now

Thinking of buying a used HDD off ebayIf I do a hard wipe with DiskGenius will that 100% ensure there's no malware slipped in there? What do I do to make sure there's no hidden malware?
>>107716996Actual good advice? I think I'll try that.
There is zero filling software out there that can do a whole whack load of passes but most of that is a waste of time. Macrorit data wiper free and pro will do the trick. There is something called killdisk too that you can search for online. It does the same thing. Zero fill the entire drive is usually good enough. You can then do a random pass the next time. There is 35 passes but it takes forever... Blah blah blah. Usually just wiping the entire drive including all partitions will do the trick. Then reformat the drive accordingly. Doing a full check disk to see if any sections of the drive are failing is a good idea to do on used drives also. You may have bought a dud. Better find out now rather than when it fails with all your data on it.
>>107716862No such malware
>>107716862bang on it
>>107716862I'd me more worried about a failing drive than malware. Make sure to run crystaldiskinfo to check drive health before you store anything on it. Also this >>107716996 is good advice. But keep your expectations limited. You can find old DVRs from thrift stores for ~$5 though I've only ever found old HDDs that have a lot of read/write cycles.
First time edition!!!The last thread was ages ago and I missed seeing some cool setups! I apologize if I'm missing anything cause this is my first time posting one of these, hopefully we can share some nice setups!!
>>107715663oh man that's comfy. do you mind sharing what some of that stuff is between the CRTs and what they do? Looks like an oscilloscope, a UV meter, and some other things. I really like analog tech
>>107717269I initially set this stuff up for a music video I still haven't made, a lot of it is test equipment that I normally have elsewhere on my workbench. It's still sitting there for when I want to play games or burn CDs though.That's not a normal oscilloscope, it's a curve tracer. I mainly use it for matching transistors and diodes for audio circuits, oscillators, filters, etc. Other than that there is a function generator, multimeter, PSU, frequency counter.The laparoflator equipment isn't something I have a use for really, it's just medical equipment that came alongside the medical PVM just out of frame on the right. Right under that PVM is a NTSC waveform monitor and vectorscope. I am using that as part of my setup for calibrating CRTs for my video wall which has been an ongoing project for some time.
>>107714094Holy cow anon. Get the Miku Case already. Nice keyboard though >>107716544nice>>107715663nice but I hate those games>>107707497Could have wall mounted the 43" monitor

Is Yandex the best search engine to use as an America? My primary concern is US government surveillance
>>107717255(nta)>t. damage control
>>107717292Your comment is so insanely ignorant I don't even know how to explain this to you in a way you'd understand outside of recommending you start studying encryption methods from ground zero. I hope you look back on your comment in a decade and realize how pants-on-head retarded it was.
>>107717145The Russian government ? No. A Yandex employee or affiliate for a few dollars? YesThis would be a good way to actually get your searches personally looked by an intelligence analyst since less than %1 of searches in the US are with.I can tell you exactly it would. Say there's an advertising company in Kazachstan or whatever the fuck shithole that's not hostile to Russia. And this company is a CIA front. So this company approaches Yandex offering a handsome sum, or employee with a bribe. They tell Yandex they want to advertise to Americans send your data from America to us. And then Russia is not going to bend over backwards protecting American data. Know what the worst thing is? The CIA front wouldn't have to convince or bribe Yandex. Data sharing with affiliates is automated and they can pick the data they want like it's Amazon shopping.I guarantee you this is going on exactly or something very close to it. Use searx
>Which continent? North or South?
>>107717127I unironically use Yandex sometimes because it gives better search results that Firefox or Google. It's literally just a better product.
