I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.

Are the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones a good deal? Not really a massive audiophile, I just want good and not insanely expensive headphones I can plug into my Macbook Pro and guitar amp.
>>107678243Chinese-tier build quality too. Still using plastic sliders that easily break on their most popular fucking series.
>>107675284I own them. they're pretty good. if plastic headphones bother you, this might not be the one for you, but they're light and sound really good.
they're €99 refurbished from sennheiser, that's a wonderful deal
>>107675284Why don't you just get some Airpods for convenience's sake? It's not like you're gonna make any good music on a Macbook anyways.

On Linux, any program can access any file it wants to and send it all over the internet and you can't do anything about it... So much for user control.

>>107681747Why would malware apps care about what Android or iOS version they are running on?Both are backwards compatible.And the OS isn't going to block any apps that open local ports, because thanks to their epic permission system, local ports is how Facebook, WhatsApp, Discord, etc. does IPC.So it is actually the dumb security concept with a focus on providing a false sense of security, which is at fault here.
>>107681653>apple shill>not retardedpick one. thanks for the link btw, that's exactly what I was looking for
>>107681747The story behind this is actually funny.So cloudflare has a domain ranking based on the requests it gets on 1.1.1.1https://radar.cloudflare.com/domainsThis ranking used to work by the amount of total DNS queries. But that is a silly metric, since different domains have different TTL. Google.com has a TTL of only 5min.So they switched to a new metric in October, which is DNS Magnitude, so a peak of requests within a TLD window.As soon as they switched, .su became the most popular TLD and 14emeliaterracewestroxburyma02132 .su became the most accessed domain in existence, beating all big tech platforms.https://domainnamewire.com/2025/10/27/new-cloudflare-radar-data-ranks-su-ahead-of-com/Then people looked into it and discovered that it's a botnet infecting smartphones and named it Kimwolf. It took them two months between discovery of that domain and finding the first sample. This botnet makes extensive use of cloudflare and its DNS over TLS, in order to evade any filtering.Cloudflare then switched back to the old metric, to hide botnet control domains again :D

>>107680243Lmao energy is doubling and I'd say the majority of the reason sure as fuck isn't a fucking data center.

Hippy retards won't even let the energy company cut down some fucking trees to put up some needed transformers and shit. And no its not fucking old growth it's because it's near some shit hole park that hardly anyone uses and won't even impact Jack shit. We need nuclear energy even if AI or datacenters didn't exist. This is the best thing for us to actually get nuclear energy force the retards hands.
All these leftist faggots complaining about copyright when I can't even ask AI song lyrics because for some reason fucking words are copyrighted. I can't even use chatgpt to search for lyrics someone posted because fucking lyric sheets are copyright? What in the fuck is this bullshit. Seriously drumpf I think is right about these retarded faggots stifling technology because if these shitheads knew how to use a computer or the internet in the early days it wouldn't even exist because they'd be fucking pissed people were sharing pictures and copying lyrics down from songs. Fuck them and fuck rw retards as well.

>>107679748Unfortunately, a large chunk of the "chart-topper" coolers priced similarly to the Fuma 3 are Thermalright variants, so you're still facing the same potential issues. That said, the Arctic Freezer 36 did decently well on the 9800X3D and is around the same price as the Fuma 3 ($45ish). The ID-Cooling A620 ($30-$40 depending on model) used to perform about as well as the Arctic Freezer 36 (on Intlel and AM4), but seems to struggle a bit with the 9800X3D and there have been some complaints of the A620 having a rattling sound not dissimilar to Thermalright. Not intended to be a shill, but I feel like in that $30-$50 range, maybe more-so than any other price range, you're forced to choose between acoustics and performance. Frankly, it may be better to just buy the cheapest dual-tower you can get and slap on $20-$30 worth of better fans. Finstacks and towers are often designed with specific fans in mind though so even that might not be the right solution.

>>107681660>I have to wonder if the fame has gone to his head, so to speak.His channel for a while became nothing but investigative journalism. I think seeing that he has the power of fame behind him and "good intentions" pushed him to do this. Sometimes he's successful, sometimes he puts up a long video just to show that he did make an attempt to enter a building and talk to someone but got softly kicked out. Good intentions will fuck practically any internet celebrity, there's many old examples of this. Currently what he seems to really be contributing to is not to reach the ears of people that can actually do something about this, but rather just keep pointing and prompting to look at the stupid gigantic black pill elephant in the room that is massive corporations using AI to get profit as though this wasn't already abundantly obvious.
>>107681721Not him but it seems a lot more time and resources (and that valuable money that these trillionaires keep taking away) is wasted on data that is helping nothing other than to make people more depressed and angry and solve jack and fucking shit. There's no savior, no hope and no future. But I don't think most people need that to be repeated 13 different times more than they would need to know that their favorite eceleb has been challenged by some other eceleb to a physical fight. Their good or reprehensible actions in most cases will have no repercussions in the great scheme of things.To top it off, this could come from a completely pure desire to change things, selling paraphernalia about "corpo bad" and "corpo did this to me" to create this need to know more about the buttfucking that we all shall suffer seems a bit ridiculous. Time is better invested helping people save money, not spend it on stuff that through osmosis everyone knows. I find more value in a shitty random channel giving people information on how to better preserve what they have rather than telling them what they won't be able to have.
>>107681721So the best you've got is a whataboutism? This is a thread about GamersNexus video so of course that's the focus, but in my first post above I specifically mentioned >....instead of watching a horde of corporate shitlords each using their limitless bankster lent funding to become king shit of AI, the one who gets to sell us all the SaaS access to their model...So I already referenced those companies and those bankrolling them offhand, so your inability to read makes your attempt to high road into a laughable resemblance to pic related >>107681742>Good intentions Many have this, but when it gets wrapped up in counterproductive action or just plain fame/spotlight/algorithm behavior its bad especially for social media types like this. Its what turns a short video where someone gets a courteous brush off into continuing to push until the kind of histrionics that play well for viewers arrive and you claim you're being abused by big bad company because you didn't leave when they told you to do so 10 times politely, so now you have video of the security guard tossing you out which of course you cut to make it look like they did that as soon as you arrived or whatever. I'm not saying that GN necessarily did the specific thing, but I've seen it from others - though the impetus is similar: get footage that will go viral, making you look like the hero fighting against the evil villainWhen you start making content where the "vibes" are more important than outcome that is when the good intentions have totally gone tits up. I've seen this in a lot of political streamers who get an audience of those who want to just see performative 'action' so that's what you end up doing to create a narrative. >Currently what he seems to really be contributing to is not to reach the ears of people that can actually do something about this...This is worse, as he has the resources to guide and focus attention on actual, nuanced improvement suggestions.

My colleagues use AI to write comments on my PRsA Junior colleague doesn't know what a primary key is but he insisted he wants to write a SQL script which we need to execute on live environmentWe had an argument with another developer, he used AI to create counter arguments on my argumentsWe had to delete lots of rows and one of the developers came up with SQL Server Heaps (first time I see them)
AI makes people retarded.You don't want to accept it because it helps you make things more efficiently. But then you never have to think, you never use your brain, so it degenerates. You become more and more reliant on it to the point where putting minimal effort to understand a simple algorithm seems impossible.Even if you could finish a project before the guy that doesn't use AI, you did it at the cost of your own cognition, your life is becoming worse because of it. It's like the devil offering you success, but at the cost of your soul, and you go there and take it.In a couple years, everyone will be so fucking stupid that the midwit twitter artist who refused to use it out of stubbornness will sound like the most intelligent person on the planet.
>>107681666Satan trips knows how Satan works.Also, there was a study I remember reading a few months back, which confirms exactly what you are saying. Where they tested the intelligence of people who used AI to varying degrees for writing tasks, and the ones who relied on it the most ended up with diminished mental facilities.The other day I remember telling my mother that it's important as she gets older that she find ways to learn new things every day. My grandmother had alzheimers, and it does run in the family, but one of the things about alzheimers is you can reduce the likelihood of it occurring if you are using your brain more often. Learn new things, make it do work every day for some purpose. Create new neural connections and you won't lose the ones you have.Do you think it might be possible that those who rely most heavily on AI to do thinking for them might end up with something like early onset dementia? Because that shit is some serious body horror, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
