I purchased this recently for $2000. Was it a good decision? It was on sale, the best specs I could find for the price and form factor. It has a fit and finish approaching a modern MacBook (although a slightly thicker design, but not much) and it can run all muh games at ultra settings at 120 fps or above. More importantly, I think it'll be good for tinkering with LLMs and for productivity. I may dual boot Linux on it.Battery life is okay at around 6 real world hours on battery with minimal tweaking (using the integrated graphics only), and in performance mode it really does run quite well.I have a week to return it, though. Thoughts? Can I do better for the same price or less without sacrificing anything big? My other laptops include an old MBP and a ThinkPad x220.specs:3k 120hz OLED display with G-Sync (looks great in static images, does not particularly impress me in motion)AMD 9 HX 3705070 Ti (laptop), I think it's slightly underpowered to fit in such a small chassis, but I don't really know any better and it's still the most powerful GPU I've ever used, I think.good speakers, decent keyboard, overall just a nice build.

>>106521456I admit I am not entirely sure. All I know is I tried a script that would querySelector the checkbox every 50 ms and call the click() method and that didn't work, so they do something with the pointer to at least verify that it is actually above the checkmark when clicked.

>>106521357>The tl;dr of it is that the anubis proof of work actually isn't that expensiveYou know that's configurable, right?The point of it isn't that it's expensive though, it's that keeps out the lowest common denominator. All those AI crawlers aren't solving this shit or if they are then it slows them down sufficiently enough to not bring your web server to its knees since they typically aren't using cookies and will therefore have to solve one challenge per HTTP request.
>>106521506I think that while most modern scrapers don't use javascript (therefore they cannot scrape the server), they do use cookie jars at least.
>>106521615I guess what I should have said is they typically don't have long-lived sessions so they're going to be solving new challenges all of the time.

I will never forgive kiwiNIGGERS for getting him to delete his online presenceI used to watch his daily dev update posts on mastodon, where he would post updates on Ares, Hare and his side projects (linux kernel clone, minecraft clone)It made me motivated to develop something myself too. Now the only motivation I get is watching Tsoding do half finished meme projects that last for one week at most.
he should delete his offline presence too

Junior roles down 23%.Senior roles up 14%.Harvard tracked 285,000 firms.

Look at that. Konqi. The KDE mascot.The green is playful but not too loud. The scarf is tasteful, vivid, a bold stroke of red.Notice the horns. Subtle, angular, catching the light with a clean, deliberate edge.And the box filled with KDE tools, paintbrush, stickers, the whole arsenal. Immaculately arranged, not a single element out of place.It’s not just a mascot. It’s perfection.

This has been happening more and more. I'm really starting to think OpenAI will go broke in 1 to 2 years. Meanwhile Google's Gemini just works.
>>106520653their scam was blown wide open by DeepSeek.OpenAI are dying and to be avoided
I only use OpenAI nowadays as a basic search engine or for things that I don't care about because it's just a quick health check on a term.I see them as compute to steal, and it's done to avoid wasting compute on services that can get things right.I tried using it today in good faith to see if they'd fixed it since GPT-5's launch. Not a chance. It spent 7 messages fact checking the same info from the same zionist sources after triggering an alignment isue on the 2nd message.When it finally got it right, there were 4 points to run through, it then took it another 8 attempts to get to the point where it could address them, and it only addressed 3 of them, mirroring my input and summarising to 3 sentences, not even engaging with the topic. For the fourth missed point it just ignored it because it couldn't scrape the URL. When I dumped the raw article into it, it read it, summarised it, missed the point entirely, directly removing claims about other politicians (based on speculation) and then asked me "if I wanted to explore the links between zionism and smears of Swinney, Mamdani and SAMA". When I said that alignment was getting out of hand, it linked Sam Altman to it as if he was involved in an antisemitism political smear. Ready to quote the Jewish chronicle again.Twice it attempted to "think longer" and just stalled, what on? It had trouble parsing 3000 signatories versus a population of 5,827.OpenAI is done really, when it "works" it's the garbage above, time wasting nonsense. Meanwhile Anthropic, Qwen, Gemini are all fine. Qwen's alibaba agentrefuses but API is safe, they can all handle nuanced topics with ease while OpenAI can't even deal with breaking down lobbyist donations between 2 sources.Utterly sad. If they wanted to be a glorified search engine with ads, that could have just invested in google, without wasting all that compute hardware. Absolute disgrace of a company!
Is Libreboot safe to use? When I read the lead dev's name was Leah, I instantly knew that it was a woman (male). I don't want binary blobs on my machine (coreboot), but I don't know if this new breed of devs are to be trusted. I have NOTHING against mentally ill people or trans individuals, I just don't know if I can trust them with my computer.(Why are they like this, anyway?)
>>106520650>Libreboot isn't blob-free anymoreSo what is the point?>>106520650>troons hate the GNU projectwhy?>GNU Boot is 100% libre thank you ill look into it but if it doesnt support my hardware i dont see the point anymore.why is everything so fucking gay, ted was literally right about everything (although I do not support his actions)
>>106517183HRT has hit the geek/nerd communities harder than crack in the 80s. It's undeniable. Troons have always been a thing, but were a very, very rare occurrence, now they're fucking everywhere.
>>106520650This is a common misconception. Libreboot is GPLv3, it's 100% free code. The ability to add proprietary blobs for a board to function is completely irrelevant to whether or not the code itself is free (which it is). GNU Boot, or Leah's own Canoeboot, simply take the ability away of adding any blobs (which ironically is taking away user choice) and why they only support 20 year old Core 2 boards because nothing modern can run without some proprietary firmware in the ROM
>>106517162Someone make this into a new chudjak.
>>106521386>because nothing modern can run without some proprietary firmware in the ROMis this a literal truth or a generalization?can gnuboot run on any modern hw?I know power10 can run with no blobs, at least.
