Don't buy anything OTHER THAN IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T, X, and W/P Series if you want the Real Business Experienceâ„¢
>Other business laptops are welcome in /tpg/ (Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook)

Why ThinkPad?
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap
>Excellent keyboards, tactile feel and quiet + the TrackPoint
>Great durability: magnesium roll cage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop
>Easy to repair (most models), upgrade & maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model, spare parts easy & cheap to obtain
>Excellent Linux & *BSD support

Yeah, a 1660 Nvidia chip is what it says but the confusing thing is are the Intel xe graphics enough or rtx A300p-4000 would be better.

It is highly depending on your specific usecase and if you want to access said files from different devices in your household.
If that's the case, a local server (NAS) is the way to go. If you are basically a single household and watch your stuff on a computer with no other devices, i would go for a huge external mechanical HDD.

I got me a several of pic related
You can turn on and off every single HDD independently from the others and it's connected via USB (No RAID in this tower).
It can hold up to 10 SATA HDD's.
The buttons are on the front so it's comfy to reach also if you place the tower on your desk.
Even if you have a several devices you watch your content on, you can usually also add a drive via USB to your router and set the routers firmware to use this USB drive as a NAS or even as an FTP/SFTP server for out and incoming connections.
That's what i have done. I have a 2TB HDD in a USB docking station functioning as a NAS server for me and my wife and i have a several friends of mine i share TV-Series with that have an account and read rights in certain folders.
I'm using a FritzBox router of the brand AVM. But i think other router brands support such functions as well.

Yes, i see how you're doing it.
Don't know the Strawberry player but looks nice.
I'm sure you can add genre and year also to be shown in the player's metadata list, but you already have it in the album folders name as it seems.
>>
>>107668390
it is like this for any band, genre and artist if you pirate entire discographies, you just use directories, everything is 2 clicks away
>>
>>107668410
Folderstructure wise, i have it very similar. The only difference is that i have not only the albums but also compilations demos, singles in the same artist folder lumpsummed without having separate subfolders for albums, singles and such.
Since i have the tags filled in, the player can sort them this way.

Arch Linux decided to upgrade the default NVIDIA GPU driver to version 590. This change means that Arch Linux will no longer support NVIDIA GPUs from the Pascal generation and older—this means GeForce GTX 1000 GPUs and older.

>>
>>107667850
Yeah no shit they did, Arch Linux always upgrades to the latest nvidia driver as does every other distro that isn't garbage. The latest nvidia driver is bad enough, being stuck on an old driver is completely fucked.
Nvidia cards from Pascal and older generations will be unusuable on Linux until nvk makes them usable, because the 585 driver is dogshit.

As is the 590 driver, but that's beside the point. It's still a tiny bit less dogshit.
>>
>>107667850
Arch linux didn't do anything wrong. If they kept the older drivers as default, then retards like (You) would just bitch that they don't support the new GPUs instead. You can 't have two default drivers.

The problem here is 100% on Nvidia and if you're using a older GPU you can still install the older drivers manually.

Because you're dumb as a rock and don't understand how either works, so I don't know what to tell you, look up how actual mutex is implemented, and realize that before a syscall is even attempted, a plain atomic load is made in some fashion, potentially several dozen times, and that's the part you can customize to fit your misdesigned pile of crap, to for example, implement try_lock if whatever you're using doesn't already have such a trivial feature.
>>
>>107667674
im well aware of how try_lock actually works, and that is exactly why i said i wasnt happy with the options the off the shelf os sync primitives gives
and while you are being very angry, which i dont understand why you are, i will complement you for finally discussing the topic instead of purely seething at a feature i like that you dont like
i do wonder though, please explain why you hate it so much, it cant simply be because "loading things on the fly is bad" right?
