once we got to 8th gen intel there was practically no reason to upgrade for years.
my i5 8400 is still in use as a server to this day, and the only reason it got moved to being a server is because I wanted a newer nvidia card to run local models for autocomplete.

It did cured my distro hopping, I used windows and tested linux a few times yet always found something to complain, at some point windows enshittification make me try macOS, I tried using it full time for more than 8 months as to get used to it, and after that time I happily installed linux on my mac mini so I don't have to boot macOS again.

After the experience I've been able to appreciate linux even more, thanks apple.

iirc OP is a faggot and 8-bit isn't the core problem but the TV range (16-235 and 16-240 for colors, instead of full range 0-255) plus BT.601/BT.709 matrix transforms cause the loss of information.

Inherently separating out the "white" in RGB->YCbCr is good because it lets you do chroma subsampling (in 4:2:0, the most popular form it's basically halving the color resolution while keeping full-res for contrast) easily and that drastically improves compression efficiency (this works because we're fucking apes and notice contrast more than color). But doing so with limited range (maybe with full range too idk) using bt.601 and bt.709 matrix transforms (the SDR standard) causes loss of information (iirc you effectively get something about ~7.7 bits for whites, ~7.8 bits for color).
10-bit happens to be good enough to fix it while also having other benefits (other anons here explain it better)

There's also the thing where encoders behave differently and have better precision in 10-bit modes than 8-bit modes. This also leads to greater encoding efficiency (i.e. better quality for the size)

You could also fix this using YCoCg-R instead of YCbCr transforms but everything is too gay and retarded to do that (muh compatibility, just look at anons crying their 69 year old stinkpads can't play AV1, the very fact that most video is still H.264 is a fucking crime).
Everything comes down to compatibility with 20+ year old standards that TVs and millions of devices stick to for "compatibility" and unwillingness of video tech to move on. 10-bit in H.264 is a special profile that many devices and even video players don't support, because hardware acceleration and effort.
This is coincidentally why AV1 is great, it forces 10-bit 4:2:0 support as a necessity in its most basic profile

Oh yeah, most importantly: a heapton of today's "superior" physical equivalents of these "inferior" VST plugins are literally just physical wrappers for those VST plugins. The audio processing done is still the exact same. Analog is only utilized for unique synthesizers and no one in their right mind would sit purely in the analog world when most of the shit can be done just as well with VST plugins and other digital processing.
https://youtu.be/NYV2-nv5mok
Truth is, if you are a shit musician, no amount of money spent on analog hardware will improve your work. You're either able to pull out creative tracks or you don't.

It's the same cope as investing thousands in meme keyboards in hopes of improving your typing speed, or investing thousands in gear to improve your gayming skills. Tools are only a physical cap of your skill ceiling, not it's definition.

here's the real answer: yes you use a video call but on a podcast recording website. That website records the sound (and sometimes video) locally in high quality, after the interview ends the software then uploads the high quality audio to the website and the podcaster can download the video file with the two audio tracks recorded locally

>>108566905
nice black and white thinking, i didn't say to use analog exclusively, even then many professionals would prefer to use an analog console like SSL 4000 and a studer tape machine if they had the time/budget, for example the one biggest example in favor of digital mixing is serban ghenea and he was lying about being fully in the box because he was still using a digital tape emulator that didn't exist in plugin form until relatively recently, the hit songs have analog gear being used before (max martin and numerous others use chandler TG-2 into 1176 to record vocals) and after him during mastering, no matter how good you think you are you're not making million dollar songs fully on a laptop, maybe if you're using samples from other songs that used analog gear

Look and seethe /g/eets. I randomly bought more RAM than I thought I needed and now its allowing me to run fullstack development and testing all at once. Here I have a huggingface loaded model with python script with react development, alongside docker and multiple intellij ides. I might not need most of the bloatware but it does make development fun and bearable. My computer doesn't notice a difference.

It's honestly not even all that bad, the biggest problem is stability, you're not going to be OCing that kind of setup much if at all.

It also puts extra strain on the IMC, but it's generally not significant.

The performance is within margin of error when compared to 2x16GB of the same speed/latency.

Ignore these morons. Debian is an excellent OS.

They do not understand the Debian philosophy. On Debian, apt is used for *system* packages. It's your default backstop, and it "just works" out of the box.

If you want bleeding edge packages, it's assumed you're a power user, and you've got a bunch of options:
- flatpak
- snap
- tarball

If you really want rolling-release bleeding edge packages for everything, we also have debian sid, which will do what you want.

> I'm posting this from Debian, BTW
>>
>>108566977
> ...continued

Personally, I have enjoyed the user experience with Debian because it feels very "pure," as close to a "default blank" linux install as you can get, while still including a package manager.

Their main concern is providing you a stable base to build on. That's why Debian has spawned more variants than any other distro.

I use it because I want to build my own thing, but I also want fixed releases and top-tier support. I am a software developer, but I fucking hate my work being interrupted by dropping into a "software support" flow, trying to get cutting-edge rolling-release packages to work together.

When I was using Arch, I ran into a lot of those kind of issues: brand new packages just released that are incompatible with one another.

I don't want to deal with that shit. That's why I like fixed release. I never have to do that with Debian. The shit just works.

People complain that the packages are "old." That's because they spent two years together in testing, in Debian Sid, making sure that any bugs have been ironed out.

My view is that it's really not a problem who contributes to open software as long as they do a good job. I decided this after seeing 6,000,001 threads on /g/ about muh trannies respecting each other's pronouns in Rust. After all those cancerous paranoid /pol/ threads, I really don't care if the Israel Defence Force contribute to the Linux kernel.
