You can still get those shitty small speakers, but now in the advent of smartphones, laptops and Bluetooth speakers they're a dying breed. They never sounded good to begin with and the only reason you've used them was because you couldn't afford/fit anything better.

Why don't we make an OS from scratch with no Unix and no (minimal) legacy bloat?

What would be the best architecture for this modern OS?
305 replies and 37 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>108525796
At that point it would stop being a microkernel though. Microkernels are supposed to be small and simple to reduce the attack surface, and any kernel that supports such bulk submissions wouldn't be small and simple anymore.
>>
>>108525823
it's a trade off I guess
>>
>>108525823
And for the record: yes, that means that microkernels are incompatible to modern hardware *per definition*. Anyone who wants to run them on any architecture that has mode switches has:
- either very specific requirements that most users do not have (stupidly high demand for availability/stability)
- no fucking clue what they're talking about and are very likely on the spectrum (i.e. no fucking clue what they're talking about)

Switch from user to kernel mode (in x64 from ring 3 to ring 0), involving a drain of the pipeline, a stop of out-of-order execution, a retirement of the user thread state to memory and a retrieval of the kernel thread state from memory. Initiated by either software interrupt or other specific instructions (like SYSCALL), they can take hundreds to thousands of cycles just to initiate.

This.
I've used Arch for 5 years, Void for 2 and OpenSUSE for 3. Linux is "fine" provided that you have a specific niche to be filled, and you are confortable with getting your hands dirty. Otherwise, I find its a maintenance nightmare, death by a thousand cuts.

>ADHD is awesome
She's either self-diagnosing and doesn't actually have it, has a very mild version of it or is coping.
ADHD is an actual disability. It just makes every aspect of life way harder. From academics, to work, to exercising, to daily chores, to even just talking to people without seeming like you don't give a fuck because you keep interrupting and not listening when they talk. It also makes you more neurotic as you remember th me feelings of struggle more than the feeling of the reward that resulted from the struggle, so most people that have it never achieve even 10% of their actual potential because they just never even try to do hard things, as it doesn't feel rewarding to them.
It makes me so mad when faggots that likely just have tiktok brain talk about it like a personality quirk instead of what it actually is, a disability.
>>
>>108510014
They also only started doing it after it became a trend. They have no thoughts of their own. Once it stops being a trend they'll stop "caring" about this sort of thing.
>>
Y2K zoomie here, it is a self control issue. My phone is a barren wasteland, and what I tend to do in my ADHD rushes is:
>check app updates
>play Solitaire
>browse the web
Even if I were to ditch the web browser, which I once attempted to but found myself reinstalling it just to check some shit on the go, I'd still be frantically checking app updates and playing Solitaire just to keep myself busy. I don't doomscroll social media on my phone, at most I'll read a forum thread or tech news articles. It's all up to me to stop doing that but I lack the self-control to do so.

So yeah, dumbphones won't fix the issue. Back when I had one I would play J2ME games on it anyways.

>brand name
No it's for the driver support. They still ship drivers that work on Solaris. Does the competition's first party even work properly on more popular systems like Windows or Linux?
I'd rather use something with open source drivers that work and quality hardware but there hasn't been a competitor to Nvidia yet. It's been many years and I'm still waiting for someone to supplant them but nobody is trying.

systemd breaks this, in fact, because it names network interfaces after where they are on the PCIe bus.

All you get at that point is an even bigger war later on with stronger tech unless nukes still get made around the 50s and everyone gets too scared.
Germany and russia wanted the war to happen and britain and france were both growing weaker because of the british empire commiting financial suicide in ww1 and France being decades deep into denographic decline. Something like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to start the war would have still happened.
The eastern side was really the only preventable one. It happened because Japan felt they were next on the chopping block of european imperialism and got pushed off the edge by america antagonizing them after ww1 by doing things like forcing the british to break their alliance with them. If china becomes democratic and stable and alligns with the west, it might have still happened though.

AGI won't be achieved in the nearest decade. What's happening right now is technocrats are trying to outdo themselves in creating an illusion of an AGI utilizing text prediction models that are based on linear algebra, and due to how inefficient this idea is they are pumping an economic bubble to gobble up all the hardware resources just to woo the investors into wasting their money on a stock that will nosedive.

I think some people here are confused and/or failed to do their research.
There is free open source software for encoding and decing the 264 codec.
Any company charging for this will be pushed aside by the many free means of using this codec.
Also, I have a memory of downloading and compiling this back when I first had Gentoo, which was in 2005, more than twenty years ago, so the FOSS software for 264 must be mature, complete and stable by now.
