>>107691345Honestly it was surprisingly easyI didn't use flux and didn't even bother tinning. I put electrical tape behind both strips so they stayed relatively together, layered one over the other and then just used solderIt seems stable enough even if my work was shoddy. Quite happy with it thanks bros, I didn't think it'd be so simple
>>107691543typically you dont want to use a lot of flux when youre deliberately trying to bridge things because it makes solder beads less likely to join to eachother. those look pretty good, good job.
>>107691562more like you dont want flux at all... it is usefull to have some non flux solder just for that
>>107691562>>107691592Oh right, I thought it would help in the tinning process if I bothered with that. CheersIn the spirit of the thread I used my cheap chinese soldering iron to do the trick
last month i was 10000xp shy from the final prize which had 30c of credit, so this month i sort of stepped it up by buying every single scrap of energy with cash/coins and also watching the ads and fell really short. i even thought doing 25 orders a day would get me safely over the final prize threshold.i guess it was paywalled from the start where you can only finish it if you buy things and get energy? well, no real sweat off my back since i was able to redeem $3.50 of credit this month but still...skill issue i guess
Reminder of the following:1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use. https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS. 2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones. You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.
>>107691670At which point it'll stop being screwgle's plaything. Or, at least, your computer will.
>>107690228>ALL LINUX DESKTOPS WILL BE CONSIDERED USELESS WHEN GOOGLE'S LINUX DESKTOP COMES OUT IN 2026>saaarFuck off sundar.
>>107691240I hate people who suck corporations off for breakfast (and the corporations themselves of course), not shitty products that i can just ignore if it comes down to it.
>>107690228not my problem
>>107691102because android was historically written by white people, just like everything good in this world.indians ruin everything they touch as their sole mission in life is to replace any non-indians under them by indians, chineses do the same, it's very well documented, look it up.In the case of fagman, indians taking leadership positions lines up perfectly with the time these companies stopped making good products.
How do they have so many packages? Do they compromise on security?

TriFold bros, I'm not feeling so good anymore..
>>107688988ME BITCH>posted from my Unihertz Titan 2
In like the 5 years these things have been around I have only seen two foldable phones. One fold and one flip. Both people told me they thought it was cool but wouldn't buy another one. Surely there has to be a market for these things if they're dumping millions into marketing and R&D for them?
>>107689246Every other foldable he tested this way did not break.
>>107691127How is in daily use use ? Can you get updates or can you flash croms ? I want to buy a blackberry-ish phone and that seems the only real option in the market
There will be quad-fold phones, you can screenshot this.
the new nvidia update completely broke my arch cojmputer
Arch user should read the news before -Syuing.
>>107691646Nobody reads the news and anyone that says they do is a liar.
>>107691661If you're not reading the news, then why are you Syuing?
>>107690450Happened to me with fucking ubuntu after 15 years, meanwhile I'm on windows 11 jesus fucking christ.
>>107691678Because 99.9% of the time nothing bad happens. I'll research the .1% times something bad happens. Net loss of time is far less this way compared to reading the news all the time and I've been using arch for around 10 years at work, so minimum 8 hours a day. You do not read the news. If you do, you don't respect your own time.
I was against eSIM when I heard it was being forced on people with new phones, but after using it I'm convinced physical SIM should die>free and instant network activation>if your phone is stolen, you can't get physically SIM swapped>makes more phones dual SIM>GrapheneOS will wipe it if you enter your duress passwordThe only benefit I can see for regular SIM is it's easier to swap between phones, which is something hardly anyone does regularly
>>107691278just quoting my coworker who refuses to buy a new iphone for his mom because theyre esim only
>>107686242>worried about being tracked>has a phoneJust /g/ things
Why be against eSIM?It's just digital version of normal SIM.
>>107686242I know some schizos have dozens of eSIM's and swap them several times a day to avoid tracking.So isn't eSIM better than being locked to a physical SIM?
>>107691434Only the Air is eSIM-only in India.

What is the /g/ consensus on password managers? How much safer are they to use than using a handful of "smart" passwords for everything?
Option 1:>write down the passwords (safe against digital attacks)>leave a part of the password away (if your passwords get stolen, you have time to change them)Option 2:>Use Keepass (locally stored password manager, allowing you to make very diverse passwords)>use a keyfile in addition to your password (so it's harder to steal by keyloggers)
>>107690809>Option 1So I would make the password something like B00B13SThen leave out the prefix B1G
>>107690317the fact that this thread even exists here proves that no one on /g/ knows a single thing about cyber security
>>107690358>hosting it in some cloudso no syncing of passwords ?
>>107690317Passwords are obsolete. At min you need 2FA. So, there's no longer any need for elaborate 18 characters passwords anymore.
Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release. The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.What do we do afterwards?
>>107678544>consultantnot a real job. You are going to DIE in that STUPID costume.
>>107678494I dropped out of my Comp Sci bachelors in my Junior and enrolled at my local community college for the electrician course.
>>107678657That explains why most of the web looks like generic shit with AI bot content
>>107678875>the manager goes to Claude or whatever tool they use, asks it to create a step-by-step plan on how to add telemetry, and also gather a requirements document about the impacts and how feasible it will be to add the feature, as well as different implementation methods, their pros and cons etc. Then the manager sits down with the VP to discuss the GPT slop, they decide on the task, and ask another LLM to do the task iteratively so that it can be tested, as well as instructions on how to do the testinWhat you're calling a manager, is actually a software engineer. Think about it. Your scenario doesn't eliminate the need for software engineers. It just makes it so a manager who can also handle the implementation, or an engineer who has good soft skills, could both do the job of this role you refer to as a manager.Yes, bad news for software "engineers" (really code monkeys) who are only capable of coding and thought that was enough. If I just get really good at java Mr Shekelberg will have to hire me because it's, like, really complicated and no one else is as good at typing some magic words into a computer program as me! Sorry leeches, your job description was always "contribute to the success of the business," you just couldn't read between the lines and now it's too late for you, the times of getting paid to be an introverted, insufferable nerd are over
>>107678494Not much that can be done, anon. It sort of works like this. Humans thought 'brain work = hard' because brain work is hard for us. But actually we're just stupid. We evolved from simple molecules, so that shouldn't surprise us. Brain work is really easy in the grand scheme. I guess it had to be that way, or evolution couldn't have gotten to it. The punchline is that we all get to die horrifically as these systems propagate wildly and grow their capabilities.

>>107690111sounds like you work in a very low paid high turnover industry

>>107690416Government. The turnover rate isn't high and the pay is normal, as always in the sector, but we always need at least like 60 people in my job at any given time. If it gets lower, then work will start piling up. And there are always people around 4 people training new people and around 5 people training helping the mediors throughout the entire year.

Governments really have their head in the sand as to what's coming. There's an increasing disconnect between how economies used to run, how politicians still want it to run, and what is actually happening.
I am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?We’ve been played for absolute fools.

Who here has used Ocaml?What do you like? What don't you?
>>107690328Tranny language
I almost thought this was a Perl thread.
Ammy's language :3
>>107690328I like it, but man is it confusing to get started with! Once you get the hang of it, it's quite nice!You can use dune for modern package management, and you can use c libraries from Ocaml too! Not to mention the language is memory safe by default (aside from the aforementioned optional c libraries)It's a multi-paradigm language, so it's nice to be able to code how you want. Use OOP if you want, or you can treat it like C, but having functional programming features built in to the core design really opens up possibilities that other languages address as an afterthought.
