>>107836442I unironically understand your sense of loss, you're not crazy. But you should reimagine it. Instead, think of it as your old pal in a set of new clothes. He's still your same old companion. Your KITT just got an upgrade, be happy for his sake. Rekindle the friendship.
>>107836442Once you have it all, you have nothing, back when I was a kid I used to be obsessed with computers and upgrading from one shitty GPU to another shitty GPU felt massive and adding more ram unlocked new possibilities, now that I have a pretty beefy PC, I don't feel like upgrading because it runs everything I want, I literally don't care about new hardware because it doesn't offer me anything, modern games are all shitty slop not worth playing, modern windows is a bloated clusterfuck made by jeets and modern hardware is a joke, an expensive joke thanks to AI, crypto and manchildren
>>107837899I got really into overclocking when I was a teenager because of this, I couldn't afford to upgrade so had to squeeze every last drop of performance out of what I had. Now I can just buy the fastest thing possible without really worrying which just results in the computing equivalent of anhedonia.
I hung wire in a tree to make an attenna today, and it brought me more sense of accomplishment than the last 7 years of corporate work
>>107839080Can confirm, setting up a mountain radio the other weekend made me feel like a rocket scientist
that /g/ doesn't really know about but are a rabbit hole of soul worth checking out.for me , the Acorn Archimedes, the Grandfather of ARM and Risc, a real powerhouse of its day that nobody could afford ($8000 in todays money)what you got /g/?
what's an eglin type?
>>107824414Archimedes was a fantastic machine, we had them in UK schools in the 90s. Ours were seldom used, mainly just for the word processor and some shareware games if you finished all your classwork early. Bit of a waste really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbENFcmurbohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUH1WbZJUM0
>>107824686I used one of these when I was doing a work placement at a local game dev that has long since gone under. Was faster than any PC I'd used at that point
>>107824414What's the oldest machine you can browse 4chan from? What about posting?

Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?
there are fewer colors that contrast well against white because it drowns everything else out. there are more good dark color scheme than light color schemes because you have a lot more freedom when writing a dark color scheme.
>>107835866by what metric
>>107835866I like being in the dark, it's relaxing.And if I'm in a dark room light theme will fuck my eyes up.
light theme in the day, dark theme after sundown, simple as

Are bone-conductive headphones any good? Being able to listen to stuff while having full hearing sounds pretty appealing
>>107839058I bought top of the range bone conduction headphones about a decade ago and they didn't work as advertised at all. More like little speakers pointed at your ears, other people can hear them and if you hold them away from your head it doesn't change the sound quality at all. Doesn't seem like the tech has moved on since then. Unironically just get some buds with reverse ANC.
>>107839058+Can hear everything else while listening to podcasts/music+Lightweight+Can use to talk to people over the phone hands free+Long battery life +Does not require stuffing objects into your ear canal to listen as it relies positioning over the zygomatic bone-Audio quality isn't as good unlike using headphones or earbuds-Bass is almost non-existent, is more noticeable when wearing ear plugs
>>107839102>decade agoTech changes and improves, gramps.
>>107839097I wouldn't wanna bring my expensive open back headphones to listen to podcasts on a commute.
>>107839058Are they good to listen to Discord while I use my speakers with something else?

What is this forced fake positivity thread? I enjoy ai but some ppl here sound like estrogen pumped trannies who escaped private trackers thread
>>107801957it's the same problem with books written by the usual (((experts)))I don't believe half of what is written in history books
>>107801565learning everything wrong.
So is this considered "board culture"?
>>107801565Only an idiot would not leverage using AI for problem solving as it's 100x faster than trying to scour the internet. While it might not provide exact answers to complex problems, that's where the user comes in and guides it to the answer. Lots of idiots do not know how to do the aforementioned task so that's where you have tons of retards like many in this thread who say "b-but it's wrong! it can't do anything!". You're just being a contrarian if you don't use it or maybe you don't need it because what you're doing is solved.
He was absolutely right to take the embryos. If the most important part of the park is maintained by only one IT guy, a park that has the potential to make billions in profit, and you don't even want to pay him well, then you deserve to get your embryos stolen.
Feeling that you aren't paid enough is no excuse for theft.You can quit and find another job.

>>107834114i read the book and was disappointed to find out that nedry actually had less character development than he does in the movie. his antagonist arc is almost nonexistant outside of a few comments he makes early on. he is always desribed as ugly, awkward, and dirty. he is never shown as competent despite supposedly being the mastermind behind the entire park systems. meanwhile his death is incredibly gruesome and the author does not hesitate to remind you he deserved to die. then he beomes an afterthought. you are expected to hate the character outright.in the movie, he is more nuanced
>>107834114the modern equivalent of this is the discord hack where discord outsourced to some third world shithole and hackers bribed the workers with 500 dollars for internal access, and then a few thousand for more access because thats a lifechanging amount of money for these people

IPS or OLED?
>>107838738SED has the same issues as plasma.
>>107839187That's fine, I liked plasma
>>107839192Then just get a plasma. Basically SED.
>>107821187Whatever that is cheaper as long as it's not a fucking VA panel.
>>107839200In terms of visual performance and quality to price, OLED.

>>107825321>Were CRTs really that much better than the displays of today?No. They had better colour gamut. They were worse on every other metric.
>>107837035You don't even know what gamut means.
>>107834422Agreed. Almost all debates about how good CRT's boil down to "I am a tranny who loves the 90s."
>>107825321No.
>>107837235It's true. It's always some boomer or nostalgia larping zoomed who keep shilling this shit.
What do I use now that Windows 10 is dead?
>>107837736it has sovl
>>107814008The same thing I was using before windows 10 died. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, my ever living trusty companion.

What is the optimal monitor size for a 1 display pc? What is the lowest in size/monitor you would go for?
>>107836102If I had to just 1 monitor, probably 32" at 1920x1200 resolution
>>10783610227 inch 1440p seems plentyLarge enough that it feels largeResolution means you can fit two web browsers side by side Looks sharp at arm's length
>>107836734kek
>>107839035depends on what you're doing. if all you do is vidya and or shitposting, a 24 inch is plenty. but, if you're heavy into multitasking, you need at least 34 inch with a DE that supports tiling
>>10783610224" is perfect, 27" is pushing it. Anything above these is not good.
