I just bought a 32Gib 512nvme i7-9850H quadro t1000 with a 4k panel for $400 on eBay (and uncle sam fucked me for 40 in taxes and 20 in shipping)--and I am regretting it and wish I bought the cheaper $330 1080p 48gib option but bought this one because I thought that the 4k panel might be good since 1080p is a bit bad for split screen latex but am now regretting it since it will
- Drain battery faster (might take up 20% extra)
- Be a pain to use because I will be forced to set it to 200% scaling for a good experience with my external 1080p monitors (probably, I have never used 4k but xorg will likely strangle me too)
- Cost more
- Doesn't have as much ram
- At 15.6" and normal sitting, I probably won't ever notice

I don't think it has been shipped yet but also don't want to try to return it since that might make me an asshole...I will have to go check if the seller even accepts returns...

I am really crying over this...why is life so hard?

I think you heavily over estimate the amount of adults I have interacted with.
>What about for trans men? Would you tolerate them?
I don't like most men either. Mostly it'd just be sad. If they didn't keep a beard and didn't cut off their tits I'd just see them as hot tomboys.
>I can't be away from my parent checking in on me long enough to try that
And that's why society is fucked up. You can try to pretend to be the girl but you can't do the thing that may stop you from wanting to be the girl.
>I agree with that first part fully but think that although transitioning can be hard, it can be worth it if one truly hates how they are.
Or maybe you always see yourself as a lie and never really stop hating yourself.
>But can you really know that if you have never felt it?
I can't know for sure, but the world runs on best effort estimates. I don't have any way to prove you aren't a p-zombie, yet I estimate you aren't.
>Where I live, this seems to be confined to just 15-25 year olds through, and more like half of them (I also through that this was a strictly rich white country thing).

I meant more so passive interaction, if that makes sense? Like seeing and maybe a quick word if need be? That might just be a USA-esque interaction though.

>You can try to pretend to be the girl but you can't do the thing that may stop you from wanting to be the girl.
If psychedelics were to work wouldn't that just be temporary relief? I wouldn't always be able to be on them since one can't do normal mentally demanding work while high.

>>I agree with that first part fully but think that although transitioning can be hard, it can be worth it if one truly hates how they are.
>Or maybe you always see yourself as a lie and never really stop hating yourself.
That is what suicide is for! :3 I do fear that but if I keep hating myself after the normal time that HRT takes to do most of its effect, viz., roughly two years, I will undoubtably kill myself. Of course, I intend on starting to have good hygiene too so that should help me feel better too.

>Mostly it'd just be sad.
Why? Is it not sad for trans fems too?

No, because I never saw the men who transition as an object of desire that's now lost.

I hear they cause a permanent chance in how you see things but that might be bullshit.
>I do fear that
I'd tell you to use AI as a form of therapy but that probably works only if you already have good priors and just need a nudge to put them in practice.
Maybe when you are going to do it you find out you just don't have it in you to go through it. Or maybe you do, who knows. You won't actually know until you try.
But see the absurdity of the situation.
You are afraid of your parents being mad at you for something and also are not afraid of ending your life. As if your parents being mad was worse than them finding out their son is going to turn into maggot feed.
Exhaust your options first, dude.
Before killing yourself try the wildest things you can think of. Try going full schizo. Going into a forest at 3 am. Seeing the sunrise in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada desert. Taking a month just to strike conversations with strangers. Getting on dating apps. Doing long distance running, rock climbing, D&D, paintball, rafting, playing videogames all day. Visiting prostitutes. Paying a domme to let you worship her and then peg you. Taking drugs (including roids while lifting). Going to jail. Live a little before killing yourself.

Looking for audiophile headphones of start to mid tier or good buck fr bang at around 200-600 dolla. Wired or Bluetooth.

The thing is, I love to listen while I sleep and I sleep sideways so I would really appreciate headphones that feel comfy when squeezed against your ear and the pillow (if any).

My previous ones from 2013-14 were my audio technica ath m50x, they are great - still using them. The wired got a damaged after years but I just replaced it, as they are replaceable.
/g/ used to shill them back in the day, they proved their worth, sound quality is superb.

I'd just like maybe something wireless that feels comfy side-sleeping.

Xm4 is better
No hissing in wired mode, less bass bloaty than xm5 while still having the healthy bass boost
Xm6 is the worst, only thing it does better is support lower latency, its anc even has a faint whistles in the right speaker(you have to focus to hear it, it's probably like 10db but def a regression from xm4 and xm5) and the sound is just not as good as xm4's despite costing over 2x as much
Also xm4 still has the better low frequency ANC ability, somehow

For this use case I would personally look at AR glasses instead, they are light as fuck and don't irritate your eyes as you see the real world as is still. You also don't need that high of an fov for programming, a 27 inch monitor at arms length takes up like 65 FOV so if we get AR glasses with 70-80 that would be enough and also realistic.

Unless you really want to go 2K or 4K, the PPD is probably going to be good enough for virtual monitors unless you make them really tiny.
>>107735246
No, that's just propaganda from the HDMI forum trying to keep their stranglehold on the market as the large flat panel TV (and thus their core income source for HDMI sloppa) goes obsolete due to space and electricity concerns, as well as a shift to more individualized media consumption. The resolution is good enough to replace most common monitors that aren't enthusiast high resolution displays.
>>
>>107734616
not a chance. taking into account VR distortions the Steam Frame will be like having two 1080p monitors very close to your eyes. text looks like ass and if you arent a VR veteran you'll get tired and uncomfy with wearing it within an hour.

Just tried Hyperdroid on my phone. Whoa, the maker really went all the way in making it work just like using Windows 11. They even went too far with Windows11 sounds and a file explorer like Windows Explorer. They even copied Settings amd the Taskbar. App drawer with search is the Windows button with Windows logo, omg. After spending time with DeX on my Samsung tablet, I don't want to go back to the regular Android launchers. My faves are the LG and Microsoft launchers until now, but DeX and Hyperdroid are next level and my new faves now. Hyperdroid forces landscape, though, won't work in portrait like DeX and and any other Android launcher.

>>107736412
The only thing I don't like is the Linux hardware support isn't perfect. I have an M4 so I don't even get to try it. Mac OS and its desktop environment is AIDS but if stripped down to the kernel and drivers it's really not.

I think Linux is the wrong approach for this hardware unless the hardware support becomes 100% in Linux. There used to be a Gentoo FreeBSD project. It's now deprecated, but the idea behind it could in theory be used for Mac OS. Basically, the right way to do this is install Gentoo as a distro on top of the Mac kernel. This would give most people the level of control over the operating system and packages they want. Since it's Gentoo, you don't have to worry about binary packages being provided by someone else.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_FreeBSD

The Asahi approach is way too purist. By the time they support everything the hardware will be outdated. It's a fool's errand.
