>>107672809That reminds me, currently my monitors are connected to my audio interface with xlr to 1/4" cables, would it make any noticeable difference to swap them out for straight xlr cables? I don't even know why I got the XLR to 1/4" in the first place since the monitors take XLR, I guess they were cheaper.
>>107681258The audio interface is basically a sound card, you're sending a digital signal over usb which is then converted in your audio interface to an analog signal which is sent over XLR to your speakers (or the other way around for a microphone or instrument going into your computer). Why would you want to remove the (actually useful) middleman? Do you trust the garbage built in sound chip on your motherboard? Or some tiny crap built into a bizarre xlr to usb cable?
>>107685067This is needlessly complicated when 99% of normies, including many anons here, will do fine with a simple USB microphone.

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. I remember once reading in one of his comment sections that he was "bullied off /g/" by some guy, is this true? Also, if you're seeing this thread Kenny, hi!

Lots of drama floating around him in the past, also seen an account with his nickname on telegram some years ago unable to go 5 minutes without using "nigger" in every damned sentence even unprovoked, unsure if that was this guy in question, although funny if true considering the persona he's cosplaying on YT.

Which is going to create a permanent orbital docking station in lunar orbit, referred to as the Gateway.https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/Europe_delivers_module_for_first_astronaut_mission_to_the_MoonEurope is treating it as a stepping stone for further expeditions towards Mars.They're basically skipping the moon, entirely.

Even if it's some obsolete router Linux can be installed on it. The end of personal computing is imminent
>>107679850If you don't like technolo/g/y, you're on the wrong board.
>>107679359>The end of personal computing is imminentYes, we have less than a decade left before total control, few years until the restrictions start coming.They are gonna come at us from all directions, digital identity in its current incarnation is only the beginning, eventually you will not be able to use anything on the mainstream internet (and all from banking to government stuff to corporate stuff you will be forced to use will go through the mainstream internet) without unforgeable client verification at the hardware level, at the operating system level and at the software level, full control and telemetry of the whole stack or you will be blocked automatically as someone running a dangerous unverified computing environment (whitelist model, not blacklist).And of course you won't be even able to install FOSS operating systems on verified hardware (think of secure boot but integrated with device attestation), furthermore developing software on the OS that will cuck to this (most Linux distros will btw, they are already going in the direction of Android locked down mobile shit) will definitely require a license and there will be complete tracking of the whole supply chain of software, from editor, to version control, to compiler, to distribution all completely regulated, if your software doesn't comply at all level the verified computing environment OS will refuse to execute or even download it, 99% of people won't even know it exist.We will not actually get to the point of everything is a thin terminal connected to the cloud (I made that prediction like 6 years ago but I was wrong), it will be more subtle, you'll still have to pay for hardware yourself (cause computing everything server side is too expensive for corpos) but you simple won't be allowed to use your computer as a general-purpose computing machine.>>107681032Smartphones are not personal computers and never will.

Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release. The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.What do we do afterwards?
>>107678494I'll get a job doing some unskilled labor driving bullshit or warehouse work, then I'll either be able to adapt or I will kill myself
>>107684834nice, doing art for your games yourself? I suck at this
>The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.Nah, still not worried about this. Not gonna happen, software engineers just have more tooling to boost their productivity.
>>107684881Yeah, fully ai for the art is nowhere near usable but it makes some of the 3d art work faster.
>>107679408The problem is not that AI will write better code than you, but that it will do it faster and (seemingly) cheaper, and for the management it will be an acceptable trade off, moving their focus on convincing users to accept a worse product.

LOL. LMAO well make it work but barely,HOW IN THE FUCK ARE WE IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2026 AND TECHNOLOGY SUCKS THIS FUCKING MUCH? THINGS DONT WORK IM SO MAD AAAAAAAAAAH
>>107682122Precisely because we're in the Year of Our LORD 2026, and this angelic technology we've been prevy to (derived from channeling an invisible force through rocks btw) was attained by ungodly means (glowniggers strategically taking powerful psychedelics while sacrificing children in satanic kike rituals youtu.be/KJ1tjCFBemc ) making them break through and reach to "the other side" for forbidden information like in the days of Noah (Book of Enoch).So why does this matter? Because the devil ALWAYS fucks you in the end.He may give you tailwind to a start, all while architecting his solution. But rest assured you will get the rope just like his children (the modern day kike).

Linux and FOSS are actually mostly used by political right and countries that do not follow or care about your tiny woke bubble where you cry about how "Linux is woke".>the Linux kernel or FOSS software itself does not enforce a CoC in its code, only in its community processes (like mailing lists)>you can create your own forks with your own community processes (like mailing lists) to enforce your own CoC or not have it (and it is equal to that original, not less important)>you can compile, modify, and distribute any version of the kernel without ever agreeing to a CoC>GPL gives you the legal right to fork Linux, remove what you don't like, and redistribute it, no permission needed>China, a one-party authoritarian state, uses Linux extensively without adopting Western social values>North Korea runs a Linux-based OS in total isolation from global “woke” culture>Russia, Iran, and others do the sameIf these regimes can use Linux while rejecting Western liberalism, so can you. You don't need permission to run Linux. You just need to compile it.

I am currently in possession of a Dell Precision 5550 my school gave me and didn't ask for back; this happened 1.5-2 years ago so I forgot I even had it. I would like to use this as a personal laptop to replace my old desktop; however, the BIOS is locked, and it is running heavily restricted Windows, making it practically just a web browser.I have already read a fair bit about how this is difficult but all info regarding actually unlocking it doesn't work--any advice? Is there a reliable way to do this without having to do anything to the BIOS chips? I am fairly technical but currently do not have access to the required tools for soldering/chip flashing. I do not have a USB-C flashdrive, but since I can't even open BIOS boot order due to admin lock, I doubt it would work.Laptop model: Dell Precision 5550Bios Version: 1.22.0BIOS Mode: UEFICPU: i7-10750HGPU: Quadro T2000 (Max-Q Design)RAM: 32GiBShould this be unfeasible/too painful, I am thinking of buying a ThinkPad P53 as an alternative.I can provide more specifics if need be.

>>107684663There is always a solution, tech cannot monopolize tech.
>>107684206If you can buy another computer, you can buy some basic soldering equipment or a BIOS programmer.
>>107684944>If you can buy another computer, you can buy some basic soldering equipment or a BIOS programmer.(De)soldering SMDs on a laptop where making a single mistake would likely destroy it completely isn't a great risk to take when the laptop still has resale value. Buying a programmer and soldering gear is extra money that could just be put towards a P53 instead, which is a better laptop and is vastly more upgradable.
