>>107699720>he thinks 5v is negotiated in the connector.Do you see how the connector is soldered to the board? Disregard the autism cube. There isn't any space to add a pd trigger board, let alone use the same cutout. Even moreso using a pd trigger board to negotiate 5V is immensely retarded when it can be done with two resistors. As is, this thing can only charge with something that'll feed it 5V as would happen with a usb-c to usb-A cable ("legacy"), but it can't negotiate 5V out from a usb-c source. Replacing the connector won't solve anything. And this board being an aluminium heatsink it's going to be an absolute bitch to solder to. https://community.silabs.com/s/article/legacy-usb-device-detection-by-type-c?language=en_US
>>107696748it's for buying shit I don't immediately need but I can sort of see a use for in the future. THough I can point to at least four or five things that I've to be far better(or equivalent) than anything comparable on other marketplaces. One of them gets daily use and I'm not sure anything exists like it on amazon/ebay/etc.I wish I could just buy the extended bits for other drivers I own.

>>107701153>actual china-based brands that try to maintain a reputationthose always do a form of penetration pricing, its a standard chinese strategy (割韭菜)sell good products at a low margin or loss to gain reputation, only for them to pull the rug and abuse their reputation selling cheaper and cheaper trash>The reason they can still undercut is that their QC is also done by chinese sweatshop workers at $0.10/h, and all of their R&D is done by chinese wunderkind corporate slaves for $10/h rather than western audio engineers racking in $300/h to tune harmansall myths, their manufacturing isnt magically cheaper than western manufacturersif anything established brands have cheaper manufacturing due to pre-existing supply chains, that these chinese brands still have to set uptheyre cheaper because theyre actually cutting costs somewhere, for the liftoff period its usually their own margin, but they slowly move that over to cheaping out on research,development and manufacturing

>>107700419I'm pretty sure any kind of write to NTFS using Linux is enough for Windows to flag it as needing CHKDSK on boot. Pressing any key to skip it used to be a constant thing back when I used an NTFS drive as shared storage. I use a NAS for this purpose now.
>>107700655yes, linux flags it as such because it (the driver) knows it can't check it

Who is this dogshit piece of shit for? Who asked for it? Why would I want to install it? Even worse, why would I not want to uninstall it on preinstalled computer?Are people at Microsoft even aware that they just killed themselves with one simple move where people actively downgrade or switch to other OS just to NOT be at Win11? They think they hold monopoly or what?

when windows 12?
>>107689698Why the fuck are you talking like you where chosing between hardware parts? Just install whatever version and if you have any problem swap and give a try to the alternative instead.Go with W10 and when support runs its course swap to W11. It's very obvious W11 is not mature yet and the latter you jump in the better.
>>107691693i don't think that's possible, as TRIM is a feature to pre-erase blocks which are unused. only the filesystem driver knows what blocks are unused, and the filesystem driver runs on the operating system level, not the ssd/hardware level

What exactly is the point of libreboot?
>>107700244Libreboot was deblobbed coreboot. Nowadays its a coreboot distribution that minimizes the blobs and simplifies the installation process. Canoeboot is what libreboot was, and still complies with the 4 freedoms, at the cost of hardware compatibility and stability.See:https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
>>107700244>>107700837It's worth mentioning that the current state of affairs was the result of Rowe repeatedly starting drama for no reason. First, he claimed that the FSF fired some unnamed troon out of transphobia and demanded Stallman step down, then pulled Libreboot from the GNU Project when he didn't (and the story was found to be completely made up). Two years later, he started putting blobs back in to support more hardware, stating that he now despises the FSF and everything they stand for, which led to an older version of libreboot without blobs being forked under the name "GNU Boot". After about a year of obsessively shitting all over it, making fake sites with borked parodies of it and so on, he decided to deblob libreboot again under the name Canoeboot so people would use it instead of GNU Boot, which I guess is like winning the argument in his mind. He then made a big scene trying to have it resubmitted to the GNU Project, just for that extra bit of attention.
>>107696983It could've been done under a different name besides libreboot. But this has lead to the situation we're in now.If anything, libreboot should assume the role of the devil and warn people about the cost of using nonfree firmware and microcode updates. That way, it teaches people how to value freedom, as well as what ways they can do to resolve the situation:>accept or reject the deal with the devil; accepting may be the only way to remove the existing proprietary BIOS/UEFI on newer machines, which in itself is moving up the freedom ladder>complain to the hardware manufacturers. while this may have limited impact, getting your complaints on record helps>document experiences. write a blog about using the hardware with libreboot/canoeboot/whatever and tell people what works, what doesn't, so that people are informed about the hardware and given more transparency over what they're getting if they buy this hardware
>>107701076I think you're getting some of the details mixed up. Although she accused the FSF of transphobia, Rowe was actually one of Stallman's defenders when other people were accusing him of transphobia and telling him to step down.

>>107690668I just got a Thunderbolt 3 dock gen 2, those things are like 30€.Make sure you have a 135w charger.
>>107689864I bought mine, because it was 3 times smaller and lighter than my P50.The yearly 5-10% bump in performance isn't worth it.The battery life tends to be around 10 hours, so even if your components are suddenly much more efficient you'll get a smaller battery and the same 10 hours of battery life in a slightly smaller chassis.

What's /g/'s opinion on Mental Outlaw? I've been a fan of his for a long long time, he's the one that made me privacy conscious and made me switch to Linux.

New version is out. Also, why was my previous thread deleted? This is a software-based application explicitly engineered for operation within the computational and telecommunications framework of a handheld mobile device, ok? It is therefore unambiguously situated within the broader domain of contemporary technological systems, infrastructures, and applied digital sciences, and as such relevant to /g/.

FOSS programmers work for free. Why?
back in late 2020 I was miserable that GIMP couldn't outline, gloss and bevel text like 90s commercial software. Now I can do all of that effortlessly without breaking a sweat
>>107698632A lot of FOSS programming is done by paid corporate employees.
>>107698632FOSS is like handcrafts that's easy to distribute. I bet there's some hobbyist brewers and carpenters who'd love to share their work for the joy and utility their craft provides for their local community.
>>107699603Yeah just look at the funding for the Linux Foundation. It's big tech companies out the wazoo. Basically any project of decent size in FOSS ends up being funded by huge corpos. "Linux is coded by NEETs working for free" is a trope both Linux haters and some FOSS advocates wish was true (the ones that don't like corpo control), but it's untrue for large parts of FOSS.

what do you call this genre of homosexual AI musing?The key is never having any projects or problems solved by AI to back up this display of homosexual retarded delusions of grandeur.
>>107693180these "people" were shitting out this kind of posts for the last three years and we are nowhere near what they claim
All AI freakout posts are stuffed with false equivalence. Every one.Claude does a lot of webdev for me, but it's no different from hiring someone that I direct, just faster. People mistake the process for the finished piece; it's amusing that artists chimp out that AI invalidates the cost of creating artwork but only engineers seem to get completely mind-fucked over the exact same thing.
