Why are tiny laptops so unpopular compared to smartphones?
>>107626650>iOS
>>107622667Not a huge fan of the Micro PC 2. Has like 2-3 hour battery life under load and could never get used to the keyboard because how stiff the keys feel. Would've been nice to have a touch scroll wheel on the trackpad instead of awkward two finger scroll. However I do love the form factor which is why I got a Pocket 4 in the mail, having a keyboard I can actually touch type would be a huge improvement and it should fit perfectly in my sling bag.
>>107622667can't imagine when I would ever use one
>>107622667Among the general populace or among nerds?In both instances, nobody wants to carry round a fucking tiny laptop over a smartphone.Tiny laptops I'm sure have some practical use in a niche set. And even then 99% would carry them in tandem to a smartphone.

>there are people who still use BIOS over UEFI and turn off secure boot in the year 2025 on this boardWhat the fuck is your problem?UEFI/GPT has been the standard for a decade. UEFI supports larger drives, boots faster because UEFI runs in 32/64-bit mode rather than 16-bit mode, handles initializing multiple hardware devices during boot better than BIOS/MBR, and supports modern hardware better than BIOS/MBR in general. Unless you have an ancient computer, it is almost certainly UEFI/GPT OTB. I can't think of a reason to use BIOS/MBR if your computer supports UEFI/GPT.
>>107628039that depends. if you're syncing your microsoft keys to their azure cloud, then the glowies can subpoena (or use their backdoor access) to azure to retrieve your keys. though even if you aren't syncing, if you're using bitlocker, bitlocker might have a backdoor built into its algorithm/functionality that the glowies can use, but this hasn't been proven yet, and the problem is that it's not auditable to the public.veracrypt is open source and has been publicly audited. doesn't mean it's perfect, and it's not FIPS compliant to use if you're a glowie yourself.if your threat surface are glowies, they will get your drive unlocked, even it comes to physical coercion. but veracrypt OR bitlocker will protect you against most other attack vectors. don't make enemies with glowies is the best advice there is. and don't do anything stupid that would put you in such a position. be a normie, abide by the law, and you'll be fine. whenever your threat surface is glowies, you've already lost. glows have infinite resources at their disposal and can do anything to you which will break you.
>>107622470*) UEFI shits up the boot menu with their retarded entries. You need to fucking manually delete old entries from linux command line to clean that shit.*) Replaces a bootloader with a shittier one. Legacy boot loader doesn't shit up the boot menu with entries.*) It's redundant, sorry I prefer having a nice boot menu, especially if I have multiple options, for example having multiple kernel versions and a timeout.*) Boot time doesn't matter.**) With multiple selections you have a timeout either way.**) You boot a system once in a fucking long time.**) I remember times when I waited 2 mins for computer to boot. Current times are nothing in comparison.*) Can't chain load another bootloader. Can't make an entry that will chain load windows so I have Linux and Windows from one boot menu.It improves nothing. Adds annoying stuff. Is more complex. Adds fucking retarded partitions. Mounts a fucking efi vars. Allows for "bricking your computer" by allowing system to fuck around with firmware. I don't trust a system with updates and I DEFINITELY don't trust them with firmware updates. The firmware should be updated manually, by the conscious user that knows WHY does he want to update the firmware.Secure Boot and TPM are anti-user features. Fortunately they are not needed even with UEFI boot. But still efi vars and firmware updates are cons for me.
>>107628039forgot to mention there's also LUKS, but if you trust OPAL (self-encrypting drive that doesn't take a performance hit), LUKS2 supports this now (before only bitlocker did that). this was added in version 2.7 of cryptsetup in 2024.so if you're using linux on a laptop, use LUKS2+OPAL support and you will have an encrypted device without a performnace hit. https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cryptsetup/v2.7/v2.7.0-ReleaseNotesstill, OPAL is closed source like bitlocker, so glowies can probably get your stuff. though, as I said before, if glowies are your threat surface, you're already fucked.
TempleOS the only real choice

I work at a hospital there are so many items that cost like 15k that do most simplest tasks. For example this pill counter which uses computer vision of some sort to count pills costs literally 2k to 10k.Can any anons tell me how they're getting away with such outsourcing price gouging
>>107616147i worked at a med device company that charged a few thousand dollars for a lipo battery that powered a surgical head lamp.
>>107616373maganiggers would be real mad if they knew how to read
>>107616147Why don't they just count pills by weight?
>>107629144Higher maintenance and doesn't guarantee 100% accuracy. Would regularly need to be calibrated against every type of pill measured.Undercounting can be dangerous if someone runs out of meds early. Overcounting is wasteful, can sometimes have risks if taken beyond what's directed, and conveniently allows pills to disappear to the black market without a trail.
>>107616147Liability cost.
I like how a stick of RAM costs 2000 bucks now.Thank you, anons. Thank you for this shit.I guess I will never build another computer. But that's they you guys planned it. First you make people dependent on tech, then you remove the tech.also fuck you with the new, more tedious captcha.Everything goes in the wrong direction. Scan your face and pay 2k to post on 4chan am I right?
>>107620821Why are you thanking anons when it's the corpos who did it?On the bright side, if one new contendant starts manufacturing for the general consumer, it will get its monopoly since others have abandoned it.
>>107622870>fuck you got mineYeah until it fails. I'm not even in any kind of predicament with my 32 (still overkill for most things), but I certainly don't want to be in one in the future, and this doesn't bode well in general.
>>107622870What's your plan for when ddr6 is released, bro?
8 GB should be enough. Period.I always say that because I should be enough. If it isn't, you're using poorly optimized software such as Windows 11, Firefox, Overwatch 2.Fun fact: brand new laptops in Finland usually carry 4 GB. They barely run the bloat they're shipped with.
Why is only DDR5 affected?I can buy DDR4 for cheap. Nobody has realized this cheat code just yet

>>107629570A passive mixer is just a couple of resistors and potentiometers, it's always gonna significantly cut down on volume. I think the actual solution might be to get a better active mixer that boosts the final signal back up to line level.I suppose you could also run the output from the work PC into one of the inputs of the interface and turn on monitoring for that when needed, eliminating the separate mixer entirely and letting the interface handle that instead, but then you're giving up one of its inputs permanently and you'll need to remember to turn down that channel any time you want to record something.

Completely broken. Received the link directly from 4chan and it won't verify. This was working yesterday. What the fuck is going on lately? The captcha changes to a different retarded minigame every few days. And many anons started getting these messages that their IP range is blocked due to abuse for no obvious reason. Fine, so I just verify my email. But now I can't do that either. I don't know what you want from me, 4chan. I'm not buying thr pass. Fix your shit.

>>107628532>The more "user friendly" and "community focused" a project becomes the worse it becomes.That's only when it is bad and run by a cult that can't handle criticism. The "worse" is just normal people pointing out the flaws and problems that cult members are told to ignore.>POSIX OSs were already user friendly even in the 80s.They were friendly to users of backdoors like the Morris worm, not the people using the operating system. UNIX was a lot worse than most operating systems, and also buggier and crashed more often. UNIX systems stole a lot of features from better operating systems, like tab completion and virtual memory.>The entire point was it being user friendly enough for someone that knew what a compiler was and how to read C.Then everything is user friendly enough for someone. Toggle switches and lights are user friendly to someone who knows the computer's machine code in binary, but UNIX trannies will complain because they don't want to know how computers actually work. UNIX trannies will say that anything that makes computers easier to use is bad unless it's something UNIX has, then it's something they can't live without. UNIX behavior is the same as cult behavior.>Even if they couldn't program they were at least smart enough to download a tar and extract the contents then run make/make install.On DOS, you could run a self-extracting archive and then run an EXE. And you could use batch files to compile programs instead of "make" brain damage.
>>107623908I'm tempted to try out a BSD, but I fail to see a reason for it. I like Rust, Wayland, and I'm indifferent to SystemD, but I wonder if there is something worthwhile about having a more pure Unix experience. FreeBSD seems more flexible and likely easier to transition to, but OpenBSD is made out to seem more cohesive. I know FreeBSD has jails, which seems interesting, and I'm not trying to maximize security, so I'm curious what are some other features that'd sell someone on using a *BSD over Void Linux or something similar? And why choose FreeBSD vs OpenBSD?I am attracted to this idea of a pure Unix experience and avoiding all of the modern woes of Linux that I can't help but want to use on my main machine.
>>107630342FreeBSD is a decent server/router OS. Even then, the problem I've found is that sometimes for every 5 ways of doing things on Linux there is maybe 1 way of doing the equivalent in FreeBSD, but good luck finding it. For me, the main advantage over Linux is native ZFS, but the effort spent getting to really know FreeBSD is not likely to be worth it. The nice thing about Linux is that you can most likely avoid all the woes you're thinking of (unless they're with the kernel itself) and still take advantage of the wider ecosystem, by using some schizo distro. As for using it on a desktop, it's pretty cool that it has native Nvidia drivers and a native port of Morrowind, but once you let the novelty wear off you just uninstall it and get on with your life.
>uv>anaconda>poetryI don't want to install yet another fuckass dependency manager when pip works just fine.
Then don’t
>>107629555Unironically don’t. pip and a requirements.txt file are all you need in 95% of cases. Sometimes I’ll use uv for larger scale projects I'm leading.>poetryNever use this if you care about your sanity.
anything related to Python really sucksI've banned myself from trying to write anything in Python. If I need to modify Python code then I'll just shovel it into Deepseek and let it do the work.
With uv and conda you can easily install additional Python versions.I prefer to unpack standalone python builds into /usr/local/ and then just use pip and venv for the actual environments.
just use uv like everybody else.its becoming the de-facto python project manager.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.what's your setup like?
