>>107643886>>107637890Should be these two:https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009898066142.htmlhttps://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009742958523.htmlCould be that the reddit-thot removed the lining, but given that they shouldn't have any, I'd assume that's how they look.
>>107640087nothing has really changed, the chinks figured out a way to bypass the fees by just shipping items in bulk instead of individual packages.prices have genuinely barely been impacted.>>107644029all computer fans are chinkshit already, it's a completely globalized product.your best bet is refurbished ones direct from brands on ebay or something.i have had good results from buying "damaged" water coolers and just taking the fans, they are usually completely unused and the radiators were just damaged in shipping. sometimes it's just completely cosmetic and you can get a full AIO water cooler for peanuts.
I want a "smart" thermostat, but seems like they all are rather dumb, having their "smarts" in the cloud. And fuck that shit.Does Chang offer a smart thermostat that works offline? I just wanna program some stuff like >heat up to 23° from 0600 to 0700>stay at 18° from 0700 to 1700>heat up to 24° from 1700 to 2200>cool down to 16° from 2200 to 0600and a>gimme full power nao!!!button.Wouldn't mind doing that shit with a d-pad on the thermostat or per app and bluetooth, if it's an open standard and I could use some FOSS app on my PC, should the phone app stop being supported.
>>107644029I buy fans directly from Arctic on eBay. Their open box shit was cheaper than Ali last time I checked.>>107644351It's nice to wake up to good news for once.
how are these Jginyue motherboards? Anyone here use them before? They have great value for the price, half of what the big 4 costs

MSI SUPRIM X 3090TI for my compute/ai server?
>>107645149forgot to say it's $800
>>107645165i would add a few hundred and get 2x tesla v100 32GB each uwu
>>107645343A passive car probably isn't viable for anon. I've modified a tesla m40 before and it was a pain in the ass. Never got it working either, drivers wouldn't install.
>windows 11 has been a dumpster of fire for the 4 years straight>linux has never made good desktop in response to this and has no softwareYou know what, fuck this shit, I'm done.I bought macbook pro from 2016 and used open core legacy patcher to install sequoia and I'm staying on this configuration for the next 5 years, fuck this retarded bullshit
>>107644990Stfu, low standards is why they keep doing what they do. My new gaming PC constantly freezes stutters and loads about when trying to do anything on W11. It's fucking junk.

>>107642529Couldn't tell you. I've used it to install cachyos and play one round of rabbit & steel. I'm curious if there's something actually useful I can do with the tpu. The one thing I really want is something like the on screen translation that I have on my phone.
>>107643816cool, I'll remember that one
>>107637847sup
let me guess. you need more
>>107644439I don't like the brand so I don't buy their products but you can use piper to change the mouse settings, no need to use the suspicious official software.https://github.com/libratbag/piper
>>107644891Ok I messed up there are different tools for razer.
>>107644871>works fine for meit needs two seperate programs , one to config the buttons and another program to configure the lights, its fucking hilarious how badly its written.check your task manager there are THIRTY SEVEN processes running for their software, its literally jeet vibecoded
>>107643865>>107644783This, fuck Razer. That shitty scroll wheel broke in less than 4 months.
>>107643865>Razer DeathAdder EssentialEnjoy your scroll jump issues which will eventually happen to this mouse in fact it's guaranteed it's one of the main issue's with this particular one from razer (you get what you pay for)
Is it worth getting into 3d printing?it looks like a cool hobby but I don't know if people just forget about it after playing around for a month
>>107629041What is the best value thermoplastic printer in terms of diminishing returns? A lot of my friends use resin, but don't have anything with FDM.
>>107635712Yea its 22lr. Using 5 chambered pieces of liner and a barrel thats reamed and the center drilled to make a sortof forcing cone. My greatest hurdle so far is indexing the cylinder accurately without manually rotating it. Otherwise its held up.I wouldnt trust a fully printed handgun beyond 32acp yet. The plastics just arent strong enough without it becomming a chunky fuck like a hipoint 45acp.My design is my own but the looks are based heavily off the RIA m200 because i like the size and feel. Figured it would make a decent 22lr and so far i was correct.>>107635721I dont understand, whats funny?Its a fun hobby.>>107635671Designing and printing anything desu is fun as hell. Even custom slingshot bodies too.
>>107643209Im not sure i understand what youre trying to ask. Creality k1c are like 350 and print everthing under 300c. Which allows the use of "engineering grade" materials like most nylon options. Pla is cheap depending on quality and blend. Petg is also cheap. All have different qualities about them but some can be used more universally than others.Bambu labs has a very nice printer but its a bit too proprietary for my tastes. Prusa makes excellent units as well.Core xy seems to be the new hot thing for printer types. As such i3 designs are cheap now but still very reliable. Dont dive down the delta printer rabbit hole, theyre a strange beast.
>>107642520>Prusa seems to be a more ethical business with emphasis on quality but is way more expensiveThey where only "ethical" when it was convenient to be so.Honestly no reason to enrich Prusa for stagnation. Even today he is still accusing china of dumping when it was him making the same basic i3 design for nearly a decade.Prusa and FOSS fags have arguably set printing back years.
>>107644915I disagree with the foss thing. Lots of advancements came from foss.But while prusa does make a reliable rig they certainly have had their share of shenanigans.
>made full offline backups of all my video games and software>canceled Spotify and went back to downloading music>forgot I already have ~6000 songs that are completely unsorted, some have low bitrates, ripped from Youtube, downloaded from Kazaa, screen recorded, etc. and need to be renamed, metadata'd, and in some cases redownloaded in higher qualityFuck. How was your detransition back to the old ways?
>>107640773I still stream music but from me own server now.
>>107640773I either download from YouTube and convert to MP3 (for CD burning) or I record from YouTube to cassette directlyThe Bluetooth fucking sucksThe USB fucking sucksfile systems suckcassettes just workThe CD changer just worksNo bullshit, no fiddling, except for a tiny issue where the tape deck will sometimes play a tape way too fast when it gets to the B side, but that's on me for putting it in a vehicle without a servicing, it will get its maintenance in the spring
>>107641392>750GB of maneleElevate yourself!
>>107643300>>750GB of manele>Elevate yourself!>shows me the most millenial romanian normalfag garbagealso>UI in romanian
>>107640773The problem with storing songs offline is that it takes up a lot of hard disk space. The reason people subscribe to Spotify is not only because they don't want to spend a lot on hard disk space, but also because people get bored with songs quickly and want to move on to as many new songs as possible.
Embarrassing
>>107633733Hello anons.This was caused by Microsoft replacing highly skilled and high-IQ developers from the first-world countries into unskilled, low-IQ developers outsourced from the third-world countries. It was called DEIand back then in the early 2020s, during the development of Windows 11. Microsoft silently removed the ability to move taskbar from the top, left, right or bottom and the users were not happy about it!Windows 10 has ability to move taskbar from the top, bottom, left or right!
Windows has always been a good Kernel with a mediocre userland team, but the userland team has been declining sharply since it peaked with Windows 7. The current crop of userland devs seem to be particularly dogshit
>>107644943dei, it's not the issue per se. the way i see it, the corpos (not just ms) are using dei as nothing but a mere excuse to outsource developers and subsequently underpay them, cutting as much corners as possible. all of this is enabled by their status of basically near-monopolies.additionally i'd like to note that corpos don't even use dei as an excuse anymore, now they are just silent about it yet they still outsource cheap labor in the shape of immigrants. i find it amusing really, especially with people like elon musk, being the zealots of everything right wing, being one of the figures that made rightism THE CURRENT THING, the same kind of rightism that frowns upon the very concept of diversity, equity and inclusion, suddenly defend h1b visas.

Python, one of the very few modern & popular programming languages not owned by big tech, is now begging hard for money at python.org (picrel), Wikipedia style.This comes after the PSF rejected an US government grant because the PSF can't stop shilling for DEI: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/10/28/211237/python-foundation-rejects-government-grant-over-dei-restrictionsThe same PSF then reported a surge of new donators following the above rejection: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/11/09/2017240/python-foundation-donations-surge-after-rejecting-grant---but-sponsorships-still-neededYet, they are now begging for money, using a big, intrusive and cringe banner at python.org, kek.This is what your donated money is used for: https://www.python.org/psf/grants>Conferences (e.g. PyCon Italia)>Event site subscriptions (Meetup.com) (e.g. London Django Meetup)>Django Girls Workshops (e.g. Django Girls Busan Workshop)>PyLadies Workshops (e.g. All Day PyLadies Workshop)These faggots have a whole page dedicated to their DEI philosophy: https://www.python.org/community/diversityTheir Libera Chat #python IRC channel is filled to the brim with trannies (they/them and she/her pronouns set as their IRC name).Comment too long.

Anna's Archive backed up around 300TB Spotify (metadata and music files). And they are going to distribute it through to torrents.https://annas-archive.org/blog/backing-up-spotify.html
