Hi, I’m mainly a Mac user for work, and I only use Windows on my gaming PC at home.My work involves low level software analysis and reverse engineering, and recently I’ve been doing a lot more work with Windows based tools. Transferring files from my M2 Mac to a crappy Dell Latitude using an external SSD is getting really annoying and time-consuming.So I’m looking to pick up a ThinkPad as a dedicated Windows work machine. so I’m currently deciding between a T480 and a T14 Gen 2 (Intel).From what I’ve seen, the T14 Gen 2 has Thunderbolt 4 and newer hardware, but the T480 is cheaper and more upgradeable.For my use case (RE, tooling, moving large files, etc.), which one would you guys recommend? Any downsides I should be aware of?
a thread died for this
>>108495019Buy the T14 and make sure it has 16GB ram. For this kind of work,I suggest adding an extra 16GB. Good luck!

I may be late to the party on this but my alphoomer nephew just showed me a locked thread of the Scratch Director of Technology losing his cool at 10 year olds and and being moderated by his own moderation team due to his "impolite" remarks while arguing over TOS changes that trains AI on user projects and adds an AI assistant. I guess not all gen alphababies got oneshotted by LLMs. Where's his PR guy to tell him a grown man throwing redditisms like "ad hominem" and "false narrative" at users he acknowledges in the same thread are statistically 80% under the age of 12 comes across incredibly retarded and tactless?
Why the FUCK is 4/g/ flaming about the fucking Scratch forum of all things?

>>108503437Ain't reading all that, but the only reason you're mad is because you're a linuxfaggot. If you actually cared about quality of posts on this board you'd be reporting 90%+ of the threads and the board as a whole would ACTUALLY be dead.
>>108508717anon, OP is literally seething in anger. The whole point of this thread is OP hating people for having a hobby.He even posted on blusky about it, to screencap it to post it here, just to let us know about how extremely angry it is.Accusing others of being mad is huge mental gymnastics.

I've only done non coom stuff, fucking around with suno prompts basically and 31B is unironically good at it. So it can handle OOD stuff pretty well. (I somehow doubt they benchmaxxed it on that) Going to unironically call it a W.

>>108507607>I think the issue with syntax highlighting is that people overdo it.Very much this.When a work colleague opens his IntelliJ, almost every word or symbol is in a different color.

>>108506581>What alternative do I have?functions, nigger, functions
>>108504739the one thing I like about msvc is that it just works with address sanitizer and vcpkg.mingw gcc does not support address sanitizer, but clang does (llvm-mingw).Clang-cl requires /MT /MTd for address sanitizer which is annoying (you don't need to rebuild vcpkg unless a library uses the C library).Clang has ubsan (it does a lot of things) which is kind of neat since it converts __builtin_unreachable into an error unlike msvc's __assume(false). In C /C++, Debug builds usually don't mean "Debug This". It just means "generate debug info".Msvc has better sane Debug defaults in cmake / VS projects (RTC is similar~ to ubsan but asan is 100x more useful).gcc/clang will not enable warnings by default...Also you can avoid cmake by using VS projects and it works with vcpkg. And clang-cl works in VS.Vcpkg is ideal for windows because it will copy DLL's for you (personally my issue with mingw is more C++ related, since in C you don't need any DLL's since mingw just uses msvc's C library. You could statically link BUT I like DLL's).Also note that on mingw/linux, all your functions are public. You need -fvisibility=hidden, but now your debugger wont work at all with optimized code.On MSVC (and clang-cl) you get no info on a "Release" build". So you can't even use a debugger. cmake's RelWithDebInfo is close enough but it should also have /OPT:REF to reduce size...Also linux has a lot of thread debugging tools (valgrind/thread sanitizer), if you are not using threads, there is no point to using linux. Dr Memory is identical to valgrind (asan does not check uninitialized memory bugs, unlike valgrind/dr memory, but it's so slow).Also asan on linux will detect leaks, which I find annoying since graphical libraries tend to create false positives.One reason why msvc wont make a pdb file for a release, is probably because it will leak the full path (this is only an issue if you build in your desktop, but I like keeping asserts enabled on release).

Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fire and leave it in the trash where it belongs
ipv6 will always be a failure, fuck the media in 2010-14 pushing running out of v4 addresses as a y2k style extinction level event when in 2026 a address is still $1-2.>>108508429No reason. As in, this is the best option but they didn't take it because they were high on their own farts with a "let's change everything to as it should be!" attitude, thus they decided that every little device should be live on the internet unprotected.Ironically this is basically what having local networks and ISP-NAT pretty much does and it's backwards-compatible and works well.>>108509064Of course it does. He's making a point about both the number of bits needed and the stupidity of representing them with hex instead of numbers.
>>108508470Ah, you don't get it, do you? They use symmetric NAT with firewal preventing hole-punching techniques. To make p2p impossible.It is deliberate.
NAT and private addresses are literally the best thing that happened to the networking worldevery single home routereven the chinkiest shittiest piece of stinking crap implements NAT which on itself is a deny-all-by-default firewall. Inadvertently that provides extremely solid security out of the box for every device plugged to that network
>>108502090>Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fireIPv6 is the original boiling frog. Big tech just keep pushing and assume eventually we'll get tired, or we'll die and youngsters will not know any better.Here's what we could of had: >The Road Not Taken: A World Where IPv4 Evolvedhttps://owl.billpg.com/ipv4x/
>>108509226>NAT was great for security Meh, IPV6 drops connections by default unless you specifically allow connections on that port. Its functionally the same security, but it allows you to connect to a device without having to go through a nat or buy a static IP. IPV6 is great for everyday people who want to host their own services or want to use cool peer to peer technology. IPV6 hasn't been adopted because it would make a ton of businesses and services obsolete overnight.
This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verificationHer only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).
>>108507464>dont get her focus on diversity, deb is a global project, it IS diverse no matter the proportions of x or y peoplediverse means no whites
>>108507464Simple, diversity doesn't actually refer to the variety of people in a group. It refers to the percentage of persons in the group that qualify as "diverse". You can have a group that's completely homogeneous and it'll still be 100% diverse.The definition changed the moment that "diversity is about getting rid of white people (and that's a good thing)" article dropped.
>>108507418This. Especially if you're not a @debian>>108507550>>108507551It sucks to be "white" these days, even the biggest enemies are "white" women and twinks voting and supporting this. But do I say, it is on the "white" men for not standing for themselves and saying no.

I just made a script that checks a list of application pages for changes two times a day that makes a popup on my screen when said changes are detected. Feels like a good idea.
But unfortunately Apple has recently banned anonymous apps from the AppStore. Do you think they would allow an app that has accounts but your ID is a random string of characters that changes its starting position every time you post?

>>108505932The reason it gets so much battery life has nothing to do with x86, that part is still shit. The long battery life is because the laptop immediately uses VRR to reduce the screen refresh rate to 1hz when the image stops changing (or to match the video FPS it seems).But it's buggy on start and stop and makes the text blank in and out.https://youtu.be/YgnVgVYOqbo?si=No2JyKvu3rM0SV_B&t=640
