You know you can replace the RAM on basically any old laptop regardless of brand? There's nothing special about these.
thinkpads suck now but they are still better than any other windows/linux laptop option.5-10 years ago was probably the golden age because you could still use an x61 or an x200-220 (and the T equivalents) for actual work but now they are not really viable. picrel my x61
They're too old at this point. It's time to move on.Obviously the saarjeets on /g/ running ewaste Ivy Bridge processors aren't going to accept that, so we'll still get thinkpad spam until the end of time.
I wouldn't say it's been the best evolution, I have been fairly satisfied with Thinkpad P16 Gen2 and Qubes OS.
>>107533818A much higher portion of 20-30 year old Thinkpads still work compared to other laptops. They're built like tanks, and designed to be easy to repair when something does go wrong. I had to replace a keyboard once. The replacement part was easy to find, and I didn't even have to open the bottom cover to replace it.
>>107547754Jeets didn't even have internet access 20 years ago when this was already a meme.

>>107553115>Any tips on how to further diagnose/repair the issue or am I pretty much fucked?You can try to swap crossovers from one another (or speakers if that's easier)
>>107553115>>107553471It was a simpler issue than expected. The rubber surrounding the woofer is so old that a small portion of it split apart, same as this guy's problem, but far pronounced (about 2 inches of the circumference are affected on mine):https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/cambridge-audio-s30-damage-repair.427286/When I gently put my finger on that part to stop it from resonating, the distortion is gone. I suppose I can try to glue it back together, but it's probably just a matter of time before it all goes to shit. Shame, because otherwise these speakers are great.
>>107553499far less pronounced, that is.
>>107553499You can change rubber surrounds. It's relatively simple but will require a bit of time.

>>107546496Webp is shit and it has little to do with jewgle. It's only resl merit is better compression than older formats but comparing to them is disingenuous. You should compare it to JXL and AVIF where it's clearly the worst. The only reason it's prominent is because jewgle is pushing it on everyone because of internal politicking.
>>107550043what do you think of jxl? personally, i think it's the true replacement for jpg/jfif, since it has features that will help in the transition from the legacy jpeg format. lossless recompression of existing jpegs is essential to me and i think everyone would benefit as well, as long as it's widely adopted.

So I had to reset my tablet and reinstall Kuroba Dev, after doing the work around to get the captcha to load, I got the dreaded "Your IP range has been temporarily banned due to abuse" error that has been cropping up lately. I'm not actually range banned as I can post from the same IP address on my PC without any issues. I remember seeing it had to do with browser cookies and figured I could get around the problem for now by posting from my browser, however whenever I try to solve the captcha from Chrome on my tablet, it says I failed to type it correctly, even though it is 100% typed correctly. Is anyone else having problems posting from certain browsers, either it saying you're range banned when you're not, or the captcha simply failing regardless of whether it's actually typed correctly? Pic related is the type of captcha I'm getting right now on my tablet. I have been able to make one or two posts with it before it sperged out so maybe it'll go away after a day or so.
In Vivaldi on Android I suddenly get banned years ago. Sometimes I get unbanned before I can even submit an appeal. Usually it fixes itself in a few minutes even without rebooting my router.
>>107553356>>107553308yeah so if you arent a spammer, and if you dont live in a third world dirt hole, then you need to wake up and realize your hardware is backdoored and someone is literally stealing your cookies to rape the board
>>107553308That captcha looks miserable.
>>107553684It's something to do with your browser. I'm not actually range banned as I can post from the ip that claims is banned. Just from another device. And it's not so much the range ban error. I know about that. It's why the fuck can't j solve any captcha!?

>>107551103>in productionidk man, for my shitty forum backend I set up a channel and worker goroutines that process media uploads in a queue. User would upload file, I validate it, put in DB, push to queue, and respond with a 200. Was a quick and easy way to make the endpoint responsive
>>107551434how many requests per day or hour are you handling like this?
>>107551520Wrong question, because not all requests are equal. Such system would only be limited by network bandwidth since all it does is download the file (unavoidable, either upload directly to S3 or save to a temp dir), run checks, make entry in DB, and return. The actual processing happens in the background, safe from resource exhaustion by those initial checks and a set amount of workers. My usecase is making thumbnails, and I make shell calls to imagemagick and ffmpeg. Even this is probably overkill but it's really fast and easy to implement.
>>107550581I see. Maybe I should try Svelte but I just stick with React because it works and I'm lazy

fwiw does anybody get a benefit from going over 30 steps with zit? I have done 90 quite a bit, but I can't tell it from 30 in quality. With flux, 50 is way different from 20.
>>107554436Pretty sure 9 is recommended. I've never gone over that and my gens look fine
>>107554436Nope. about 8 max with euler, heun, or seeds_2, all with simple scheduler. up to 10-20 with euler_a + ddim_uniform scheduler for inpainting.

Aside from being a new browser, will this shit bring something new to the web? Because 99% of people don't use a browser based on the browser engine itself. Even people who are geeky enough to change browsers don't use a browser based on its engine itself (the only reason why I use Firefox is because of userchrome.css and customization; if I could do that on Chromium, I would dump FF in a blink of an eye).So my point is: other than "hey, we are a new browser engine" what will this bring to the table?
>>107550164wast majority of websites are still just some hierarchical text, links and form fields to accept user input, some inline images, audio and video. that is enough for the feature scope of a web browser. and we could do all that in 2002 (even though with the help of some shitty plugins..).there should be no third party scripts executing automatically and accessing any hardware metrics ever, neither there should be any third party styles. semantic text and ui widgets should be standardized and left for user agent to handle according to it's software and hardware capabilities, accessibility and security requirements e.g. no server should ever know what fonts, gpu or operating you use, none of their business.
>>107550197This is very very dumb.

Browsers are the single worst most dogshit software to ever exist and rape the fuck out of your computer for no reason other than the developers working on them are drooling retards. There's like a dozen smart people working on the lowest level parts of JS engines and a thousand jeets and OOPslaves piling on millions of lines of code on top.Reminder that in 2014 typing ONE CHARACTER in the Chrome search bar would do 25,000 string allocations. 99% of the people working on browsers have literally ZERO idea of how computers work and rape your hardware for no reason other than incompetence.https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/EUqoIz2iFU4/m/kPZ5ZK0K3gEJAlso almost every web spec is slow and retarded
