some network cards do. on mine (>>106872148) there's firmware files for my amd gpu (i include only those for my specific gpu), along with mediatek mt7922 wifi firmwares (i don't use wifi on my desktop, but i include it for completeness and if i ever do want to use it) and realtek rtl8125/8168 ethernet firmwares
>>
>>106872071
i guess you'd just have to install none and check if any hardware doesn't work. probably a good idea to download the package files ahead of time in case you end up with no network access
>>
>>106872203
Yeah, or patch the kernel yourself to print what firmware files it's loading.

The individual kernel modules (e.g AMDGPU, Intel wireless, etc) do still print some stuff though so you're not necessarily flying completely blind.
>>
>>106872210
yea, if you're building your kernel then you can just include that patch, though if you aren't it won't be worth doing so just for this

I was thinking of how you would prevent abuse. Invite only but how do you prevent inviting yourself or abusing that. With a trusted system maybe some score or ELO you could also allow posters to delete other posters their posts. Delete post -1 points or something. Maybe you can prevent invite abuse by requiring two invites for one person from different lineages.

What if
Have 2 blacklists, 1 for invites and 1 for posting, then do tree bans (everyone under the banned inviter gets invite rights taken away).
>>
I like how there's no obvious page/thread/post limit. It's bound only by the area and zoom.
Interesting implication, that an instance could theoretically last a long time and contain every post without pruning. Like some text and imageboards do but using coordinates rather than page numbers.

You could probably synthesize both too. Like create logic that maps an analog of page numbers to something like a zone on the map so that people could click some anchor/link like "gamer zone" instead of "page 2" and it would jump to a cluster of game related threads that were placed near each other.
>>
>>106872270
I think that's too lenient. The other way around of banning the person who invited those too makes people more careful of who they invite.

Weve entered a stagnation. Everything thats out now was invented in 20th century. Even ai, the algorithms for it were literally talked about in 5l60s but didnt have the commute to execute them.
Turing test. Hard drives. Touch screens. You thought steve jobs invented touch screens for iphones. Nope its 80s military tech.

So that leaves the question. Can /g/ name ONE, thats 1, tech thats 21st century exclusive AND doesnt use computers? Doubt you can. 21st century has had 0 innovation in technology.

Faggot retard is just mad we don’t have society that looks like Jetsons that’s it. And the reason why we don’t have that society has to do more with other problems aside from stagnant technology. The first problem is that lot of the concepts invented by 20th century futurists are fucking retarded genuinely. Flying cars as an example are probably the single dumbest idea anyone ever had, they would consume too much energy to go around and be too unsafe for your average driving school retard to operate. We already have helicopters which are by all means car-shaped and sized vehicles that fly and are very rarely used for almost anything. The second and more important aspect is material wealth. We don’t have sci-fi buildings because sci-fi buildings are expensive to build, that’s it. We use almost 100 year old infrastructure with minor occasional upgrades because it works and we don’t have infinite money and resources to rebuild everything. This is why developing countries or countries that were developing recently like lot of Asian countries look more sci-fi, because they build their metro stations recently and made it look modern. The only things we don’t have because of technological limitations are AI, robots and fusion. Fusion is just hard to do outside of Suns and AI and Robots as it turns out are less like Star Wars buttlers and more like R.U.R. unemployment existential nightmare which we probably shouldn’t be making.

>>106871895
Tech that doesn't use computers? You're fucking stupid, I hope you know that. It's at least something you have in common with Thiel, you both try to sound smarter than you actually are.

Why would anyone avoid using computers, given the efficiency gains? I was going to say something like high-throughput sequencing of the genome (e.g. Illumina) but with a stupid requirement like that, basically everything invented post 2000 isn't valid.

Advancements in med tech? All irrelevant, they either used computers/AI in synthesis (e.g. targetted drugs, sgRNA in CRISPR editing, LNPs) or in processing (advancements in imaging).

Aerospace? Basically all new-gen aircraft use high-spec on board computers for AI guidance systems.

Productivity? All intellectual labour relies on computers. I guess factories have seen efficiency gains due to new machines, but no breakthroughs there.
