I never understood why this icon means save.

Virtualbox uses an SD card for the save icon.

Alright well since firefox is doubling down on implementing ai in their browser and theyre completely ignoring their user base professing how they dont want it. Which is the better fork of firefox to flee to? Im considering waterfox or librewolf since both are likely not to implement the new aislop bloat. Recently heard about this floorp browser too but its new to me and idk anything about it. Plus the name sounds gay as fuck which is the only reason im suspicious of it, the name alone already sounds like its begging to be abandoned but thats just my surface level take
I use firefox and i'm thinking to change to something but I don't know what to choose.I made an HTML file with images to use as a default page.Since I have enabled the option to restore the previous session I never see the start page and they removed the option to set a custom url each time you open a new tab.I can't use the file I have created unless i keep it open in a tab.>Inb4 try the extension that allow you to set a cutsom url when you open a new tabAlready tried, it opens the html file but doesnt show the imagesI don't want to install librewolf because it's made by troons
>>107702675I'm using qutebrowser because every fucking chromium browser keeps bitching about my secrets storage and keeps losing my cookies.it's actually very nice. It gets out of my way and supports userscripts
If you want a fast browser you need Skia Graphite and only chrome has it (through browser flag).
>>107703625dunno, never tried it.
Firefox constantly has issues for me, but all Chromium browsers suck ass as well.
One of the best programmers ever lived uses Visual Studio. No vi or VS Code. Let that sink in.

Please don't fear AI. There will be Universal High Income to save you from starvation when you can't work anymore. You're going to live forever in an AI utopia and never do boring work again. Elon himself has vouched for this. All your miseries in life will soon come to an end.

>>107704864No. Musk wanted to make far more drastic cuts to the government that Trump and his handlers weren't willing to make. If you haven't noticed Trump is changing very little outside of optics.
>>107697284>Abundance of robot doctors>Abundance of robot nursesThese already don't matter. In fact this is probably what makes our society shit. We pay 300k+ to doctors whose entire goal is making 80 year olds live to 90. Spending on healthcare does nothing but keep the feeble alive and make people feel positive emotions.>Abundance of robot laborersDoing what? We have robot laborers, it's called manufacturing. The replacement of human labor by machines has been steadily occuring since machines were a thing, but it's something that happens slowly and steadily, not overnight because of some humanoid robot that takes half a million conservatively to produce and requires components that are also used in other industries. Automobiles >horses. How many decades did wide adoption of cars take?>Abundance of robot drivers>Abundance of robot carsNobody actually wants this beyond the novelty.
Elon Musk is certain we're in a simulation because we can make computer videogames. This is the most retarded worldview out of all possible worldviews.

What holds it up from being considered a beginner-friendly distro, like Ubuntu or Linux Mint?
>>107703818>What holds it up from being considered a beginner-friendly distro, like Ubuntu or Linux Mint?You need RPM fusion to get codecs installed and also switch Flatpak repository to Flathub. A beginner wouldn't want to bother with that and neither should they
>>107703818Beta test distro.
I've been using ganoo/loonix since before the retarded zoomers on this site were born, once in a while I will try Fedora because people keep talking about it but it's always just ass. So many little things broken that work fine in other distros, even more niche ones, every single time, and on top of that there was just never any particular reason to use it over whatever was the "standard" PC distro at the time.The meme is true, Fedora only really exists so people can beta test RHEL for free.
>>107704434Nope, not the same guy, but Arch just werks.
I'm a Fedora user, there are dozens of us.

>>107703848Yes Nvidia is the biggest winner. But also their stock will fall the farthest. That's why it's a bubble.
>>107703794There won't be a crash, what's gassing the price of DRAM and other components is literally just lack of supply constrained because manufacturers want to PREVENT a crash in the price of DRAM, there is already 1 HMB fab coming online. The simple fact is that DRAM and all other components are still worth less than the value AI provides, and much AI value is still locked away. 1 example, with enough compute and memory you could compress down all files on your system 10-100x and generate or decompress the needed ones on the fly. Not just files, identified blocks of memory can be replaced with the code that generated it, a super garbage collection ability. GPUs where already shooting up in price before AI literally because of Leisure (video games) and mining. These datacenters could mine or become render farms, HPC centers, they don't have to do AI rendering.Of course Google is already using AI as part of their DeepResearch program, the value of which already dwarfs the value of computer parts.
>>107705378>miningBtc needs asics and eth moved to pos years ago. This makes me suspicious of the other things you're saying, but I don't care enough to research.
>>107705378The problem was never components (that's just the consumer-gamer's problem) its the datacenter expansion that's the "bubble". Increasingly more datacenters are being built, needing more power/networking infra and causing component shortfalls in a build-out cycle that should have been over a year ago. The problem is all that capital is being financed with debt/circular buyouts instead of hard assets (which tech has been hording for the past 10 years). The debt, like in 2008, might cause a domino affect for anything (land, operator, software, hardware etc) data-center related. AI has been, and still is, an unproven productiviy enhancement; it promises to automate almost everything but the hard automation (self driving cars, robotics) has yet to go mainstream and the easy automation (ai blogs, sass, image gen, slop etc) has shown little benefit, its just automating bullshit jobs that shouldn't be there in the first place..

Alright /g/, with Raven Ridge coming, let's discuss Integrated Graphics / APU's.Why are they so reliable /g/? We constantly hear about dedicated GPU's shitting the bed, specially on laptops, but how come we never hear about integrated graphics failing? Are they built like a tank?Iris Pro is a few years behind in performance, but look at the size of this thing, it's fucking tiny, it's pretty impressive actually. Do you think Raven Ridge will also be reliable? Do you think it will outperform Iris Pro?
>>107703693Some Bulldozer APUs were notoriously unreliable.
They're great, check out the Ultra 7 258v on the msi claw and X1 air. Runs at very low tdps with minimal performance loss.
>>107703693>with Raven Ridge coming,Is this 2018? Raven Ridge is Zen1.
>>107703693I haven't heard about dgpus shitting the bed regularly since like 2009, and any bga chip would inevitably shit the bed, it was just more frequently the shitty chipsets didn't run as hot. Things only seem to die now from running hot as fuck, mfgs trying to make everything thin as a playing card thermal throttling every chip at 100°, these bga soldering failures were happing at 50°. Buy something well made and take care of it and it basically won't ever die
>>107703693a dgpu has a complex pcb, memory modules, VRMs. an igpu is just the chip
