Reddit is the best source of accurate up-to-date information
>>107696657Honestly yeah reddit wasn't that bad for finding info until they turned off the free api access and started pushing their shitty mobile app
>>107695724Reddit has the Wiki problem: it requires autists online 24/7 to maintain current (not accurate) information while pruning outdated information and there's no reliable way to distinguish the two. It's an unreliable shitheap today. Stack Overflow has a better but still flawed approach.
https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1pk1cx0/powell_ai_isnt_a_big_part_of_the_job_markets/This reddit thread was considerably more enlightening than anything I've really seen on 4chan. Shame they are so fucking dorky though.

>>107694548Every Western country tried to go hard or appear to go hard when piracy was new and physical media was still the driving sell because they were scared shitless. Nowaday normies have embraced streaming services and money keeps flowing so (((they))) don't give a fuck anymore.
>>107697082If enough switch back to pirating again then they will go heavy handed again. They need to scare the cattle into compliance and give them a shock every now and again just to show them who the boss is.

How do people become seriously good with tech? Did they get exposure from a young age? Mentorship from someone who actually wanted to teach them?Like the people that figure out how to decompile games or repack old games for new operating systems. People who build software/hardware that can interface with old consoles, shit like that?I've always loved games and computers but I grew up in a religious, anti science household. I finished community college pre-stem courses and I code in C++, but I can't help feel like a retard compared to real technical knowledge
>>107698433>The nature vs nurture debate has gone on foreverit's because both play a role. nobody's denying the role of nurture, but nature (in other words, raw IQ, especially PIQ) absolutely plays an important role and it's not even up for debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3deCR2iqVsc. some researchers won't say it outright but even the more left-leaning ones will use deflective language like "let's focus on the fact that everyone can improve in math" when the topic comes up.>So talent is really just odds, or luck.depends on how you define "luck". technically you don't choose your genetic IQ ceiling since, as you said, you don't chose your parents, so by some definition, sure, you can consider natural talent part of "luck".again, the question OP asked was how do people become "seriously good" with tech. as vaguely worded as it was, it's clear he wasn't asking how people become "decent" or even "fluent". anyone can become fluent with hard work and the correct learning approach. very few will get to the top echelons. those that do have everything working in their favor, including a high genetic IQ ceiling.
>>107698571also before anyone says "nurture influences IQ", yes, no shit, lead paint, poor nutrition, etc will fuck your brain up. that's why I'm referring to the genetic component as an "IQ ceiling". your genetics determine your "IQ ceiling", but your environment will determine how close to that ceiling you'll actually hit. if your drunken mom bashes you on the head with a beer bottle every time you cry, no genetics will save you from becoming more of a potato.
>>107697843I had no mentors. I only had the internet and a will. My parents were downright tech unfriendly.
>>107697843autism and unrestricted computer/internet from a young age
>>107698647>>107698654This. My parents refused to get me a console because they were cheapskates but we had a family PC. I googled everything constantly and a year later, I was torrenting .ISOs and emulating Gamecube, which was great because I didn't actually have one.Just keep doing things and over time you'll eventually pick stuff up.

>>107695901You hate charlie because you wear women's clothing and you're pro h1b>>107696069we can tell, because you're gay and retarded. Charlie Kirk was an American podcaster who was murdered in cold blood in front of his wife and young kids by a tranny. leftist hate him for saying such controversial things like>American companies should hire Americansand>A man in a dress isn't a woman and shouldn't be allowed to compete in women's sports
>>107696366was he actually useful/did he actually do stuff or just another influencer?
>>107697558i consider myself a political extremist and i had no idea who the fuck charlie kirk was until they killed him. From what I can gather he was the most normie zoomer political pundit with the most weak ass middle of the road common sense talking points, which of course makes him literally hitler to the left. He appears to have been the zoomer's chosen good goy. That is to say, a random guy propped up by the establishment to give young conservatives someone to look up to instead of someone more radical and his job was to deliever the most basic of conservative narratives. The kind of imaginary right winger who is deeply christian and an honest/straight forward hard worker ect ect. The old anglo protestant meme to bring white people back into the voting plantation, but of course young and identifiable so angry white men would think they had a voice. But like most normies he didnt realize just how deep he was in the shit so when he started going off script and criticizing the jews a teansy little bit, they blew his head off.
>>107690383my favorite part of the video is the last 10 seconds. The presentation ends, and the screen fades to black but the video doesnt stop because the intern didnt know how to cut off the beach sound clip he paired with the video of the sailboat. It's amazing, the video just keeps playing for no reason. This reminds me of my own childhood when I first got video editing software and didn't know you could just snip out extra seconds of audio to finish it all up. I'm glad google is giving kids these kinds of oppertunities, it's hard to get into this industry.

>>107695492I was like that I kept going back to windows until I used arch it has a steep learning curve but it works well with my hardware without messing around like I was on pop os or an Ubuntu based distro. You can use a script to install it so you don't have to follow all that stuff online but people apparently get angry about that, like literally just plug the usb in an type "archinstall" and then pick what you want. I was on gnome but just recently swapped to xfce because Wayland is a bit shit for Nvidia. I am still learning but all my stuff works on arch even my mic interface which usually never did and my soundcard and I can still play all my games with my mates it's pretty chill. Uses like 1 GB or less of ram on idle and use gamemode to optimise.

I was gonna buy an HP omnibook with a snapdragon processor but I googled to see if it worked with my rollo label printer. It doesn't.
>>107690646>are we still avoiding ARM processorsThe only usable ARM computers are macs, since applel went all into it, but at the same time they dropped the ball with thousands of vidya, software and drivers that'll never get ported, same shit when they dropped 32 bit support.
>>107690646Are you planning on using Windows on it? If so, do you want to run much software other than what it came with?Yes? Then it's crap garbage avoid like the plague.Are you going to install Linux? Are there drivers available for the hardware? Are you willing to build software from source when a precompiled binary isn't available?Then it's much more viable, and should get you more battery life per weight and amount of performance.
>>107697328Even linux support for these chips isn't great. I was interested in the qualcomm laptops, but qualcomm's lack of support for linux made me lose interest. I am so tired of arm hardware with poor vendor support.
(((they))) want us to move to ARM for the locked bootloaders
>>107690646Snapdragon has been great for me, I've been dailying mine for about 16 months now. People like >>107697328 will meme that software doesn't work because they haven't actually used one recently. Nearly everything "just werks" without any special config. The only limitations I've found involve software that's legacy and/or niche, such as an ECU tool for a 20 year old car and the firmware updater for Innoasis MP3 players.For a laptop, ARM gives you both battery life and thermals (the fans almost never spin up). In the rare occasion I need to do something ARM can't handle, such as the Innoasis firmware updater, I just use my desktop. If you need to run a lot of oddball software and it's your only computer, ARM probably isn't for you. But if you're doing fairly regular things or have other computers (like most of /g/ presumably), ARM is ideal for a mobile device.
