never buying shitty headphones again
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107611292
I guess maintainability is not a priority for most consumers.
>>
honestly a lot of it is, at least for headphones
the difficulty is first party part support, a lot of times companies dont offer it not because its something they dont want to do, but because the consumer front end for it is difficult to manage
you can probably buy replacement parts for just about anything contacting the right people in customer service departments for many companies/products, the issue may be that theres no direct way for them to sell you the replacement parts in a format that can be correctly invoiced and managed by their accounting department/team

basically lets say you need a right, back side plastic ear cup cover, you cracked yours and want a new one
they have that part somewhere, but they may not have a way of getting to you
it may not have a part SKU they can put into a point of sale system, theyd just be emailing or calling someone from wherever its manufactured and asking for that piece to be included on their next shipment, and when it gets to the customer service/sales point they might not know what to do with it, its probably not going to be listed on the manufacturers paperwork with the end customers name or anything, or even a traceable part number

the infrastructure to set this up is the hard part, a lot of companies avoid it entirely because the easier solution is to warranty the entire device
>>
and then theres also the idea that realistically most things are fixable by the end user if they have basic idea of how to it themselves, if you can take apart your headphones, you have the technical knowledge to say, solder back on a broken solder joint, replace an entire cable, modify a different headband to fit
for a lot of consumers who dont have any of that knowledge they basically presume if it stops working its dead entirely and not fixable, itll have to be replaced, but that isnt the case

think of how people view bluetooth headphones, once the battery is dead theyre entirely dead, right?
well, replace the battery
just because its not behind a user openable port with a quick disconnect to swap the battery doesnt mean you cant swap the battery, it just means its going to take more disassembly and a soldering iron
you dont even need the factory spec battery, you just need one thats close enough, puts out the same voltage and physically fits
the only time where this gets questionable is in entirely nonservicable designs, sonically welded plastic housings, stuff you have to destroy to get inside of
>>
>>107611292
>shitty closed cans that cost 260€ bucks and sound like 26€ bucks ones
>but you can replace all parts for them with overpriced parts
Massive scam. A new speaker costs 40€, if you also need cover, pad, battery, etc you're looking at upwards of 80€.

You could just buy a proper set of headphones for 120-150€ and you'd get much better quality. They'll last forever too, unless you're one of those braindead niggercattle NPCs who always break their things.

dnf improved massively. It's nowhere near as slow and shit as it used to be. KDE is now an official edition which doesn't krash anywhere near as much as it used to and GNOME (Fedora workstation default) is still GNOME but it's much less shit than it was when GNOME 3 first released. Fedora stays very up to date despite not being rolling release. It pushed hard for Wayland and the transition (haha). The growing pains are over and now things like Mint are pretty much just there for retards because Fedora is easy to use. KDE has GUI for fucking everything even enabling repos and third party codecs and Fedora is one of the best distros for using it.

Mark my words google is going to sign exclusive contracts with cloudflare and Amazon and Azure after a false flag zero day dropped on Mozilla and MS by mossad.

>Command Buffers
How you use command-buffers is application specific, and you definitely can use more than one. It's basically just a batch of work for the GPU to do, and can be recorded ahead of time and reused.
In the simple case, you'd probably just use 1 command buffer per frame.
>separable actions that I want/could be run in parallel
Yeah, or not, depending on how you synchronize them. You could have a command submission uploading textures and another one drawing stuff, waiting for it to be done, but you don't have to wait for it on the CPU side.

>Render Pass
Do yourself a favour and scrap the renderpass/subpass concept by using dynamic rendering.
I always understood them as the specification/transformation of your attachments. It always seemed like it made more sense in a deferred renderer, where you have a depth-only subpass or a subpass otherwise generating your G buffers, and then another subpass using those G buffers for the final render.

>Pipelines
>denotes a pipeline of shaders from vert->geom->frag
Pretty much. Each material will probably have its own pipeline but pipelines are more general than that.
It includes compute pipelines too.

>>107608458
you don't need a command buffer for every render pass
