With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.
>>107837366You benchmark the application you want. There's no decent generic benchmark. Maybe phoronix is one of the few that does kind of a good job.
>>107837373Okay which means your choices are horrible macOS or not as good CPU? I'd take the not as good CPU for sure.
>>107841928I didn't know that, though I don't really take mobile benchmarks seriously without a graph showing power usage. Isn't the benefit of arm battery life?
>>107844428>Okay which means your choices are horrible macOS or not as good CPU?Yeah pretty much. I'm weighing my options here.I do 99% of my work in the terminal so surely macos won't be that bad and will be able to mostly get out of the way...
>>107833394I don't know your usecase but for me using Linux (doesn't matter which distro) is like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0Constant fighting with the OS in order to use the fucking thing for something productive.

>>107818731Spoiler: They're shit. Good GPU drivers are a monumental commitment. Simply making a card that interacts well with existing hardware is incredibly hard. They have to be willing to go down the same thorny path Intel is 4 years into and suffer similar results to have a decent product.
DRAM faggots aren't expending capacity to meet demand. TSMC is constantly expanding production. There comes a point when designing chips with only SRAM memory makes sense. Groq is already doing it for inference.I hope Samsung, Hynix, Micron get what they deserve.

Popular chatting platform Discord has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO), reports Bloomberg, citing sources close to the matter.The company has been considering an IPO for years. Last year, sources told Bloomberg that Discord was working with Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase on the listing.

Is there even a point in getting dedicated graphics? Integrated graphics have become so good that they can rival consoles. Anything more is just excess.

Now that he went full jeetware and puts ai slop in calibre, what should I use to manage my books? I just get them from anna, update metadata, maybe change the covers and to my kobo they go. Most of the time they're already epubs, so no need to convert
>>107845468I, too, use DeDRM for Romancing the Duke's Father: Book 5 of 15: Spice Level Rating 4 out of 5, Book Length 290 pages.
>>107845263>>107844862you cant make this shit up,
>>107845263>>107846685I don't get what the big deal is. You don't have to use it. Is this AIDS?
Conversion is my crux that requires some software to solve and there are hardly any options out there besides calibre. I've had a paperwhite for so long I've grown attached to it. The thing is probably over a decade old at this point and the best dollars per hours of use I've had out of anything I've ever bought. I've kept it offline the entire time and just sideload so zero ads or amazon bullshit but common formats do not always convert neatly.I should just get a Kobo that would work practically identically but I don't want to give up something that works perfectly fine just because the only actually decent software for conversion is being enshittified by some jeet.

>>107846739much better than c++ templates amirite
>>107847071no, i wish C would add templates and constexpr then it would be literally the perfect language
>>107837821very entertaining video. but c++ is what you get when you have the best programmers trying to agree on anything. everyone has their own autism idea how things should be done.plus the high entry cost adds a level of gatekeeping which is very useful to keep the suckers out.
Why do you need 24GB of VRAM? What will you do with it that 16GB can't? Most people don't need more than 12 and you NEET highschool dropout hobbyists can get by just fine with 8GB for your projects and old games.
ive got so much spare vram i use it as a ramdisk
>>107842575if you keep staring at the pic of the fan, it starts spinning. spooky.
>>107842575I have a 4090 from my last job, they resold it to me for a quarter of its cost once I left the company. Considering a new 5080 would have been more expensive, I took the chance. I was planning on buying an Arc 580 though, but I guess most people here would not reject a 4090 at a very good price.
I've got $3k in completely disposable income a month and can sell my msrp 5090 for considerably more than what I paid for it when it comes time to upgrade, fuck it might as well get the best
>>107847112what job got you a 4090?
Why there's not schizo new solutions to run windows xp or 7 as native virtualizations unlike there are for windows 10?Wouldn't make more sense to emulate windows xp as compatiblity layer rather than 10?
>>107846344What does XP run that 10 does not?

>>107846344I don't actually know what you're asking precisely but you can passthrough a gpu to a windows 7 KVM+Qemu vm and get pretty much a perfect experience. I'm using a R5 340x. Apparently you can also do gpu passthrough for windows XP but I couldn't get it working.

the CRT nostalgia is just people wanting to be 12 years old again and missing school for a snow day, playing SM3 or SMW all fucking day long.unless you're parents were upper-middle-class boomers, the only time you saw a cool flat screen Trinitron was at EB/SoftwareETC/etc when they had a NeoGeo Demo unit on display.
Are they going to stop making 2.5" drives after the AI bubble pops? I should've bought one for my PS3 while they were still dirt cheap.

>>107844180So you were using qwen image edit or flux 2 dev?
>>107846555NBP but I'm trying to get away from its 'default anime' style that has the soft gradients.Meanwhile, I just noticed something weird... Any bra-like details like lace is censored, but bikini is considered ok, even if I prompt something like "lies sideways in bed, lifting blanket to invite the viewer". This is such bs. This also suggests the classifier can tell the difference of specified items and isn't completely going by vague colors and shapes, and hasn't been told to block bikinis specifically.
>>107846701Sou should try qwen image edit, is decent even at q4ks quant(gotten from unsloth) with q4km text encoder and q8 mmproj. Should be pretty uncensored.
>>107846738Sorry for bad grammar, just woke up and didn't have my coffee.
