Lets hope it saves my dads decade plus old pc cuz win 10 on this piece of shit was like walking thru molasses
>>107807468>>107807479Congrats anon!I've came to realize after endless distrohopping for years between my piece of shit laptop my and my desktop pc that there isn't a single distro out there that "just works", its just that some, like Mint, requiere so much less work to get something functional that it seems like nothing when compared to other distros.
>>107806180use fvwm3 , requires some tweaking,but its much lighter, has a mostly usable default config
>>107807605ty anon only took 4h no big dealwindows took 10 min to get EVERYTHING set up so yeah it werks..... sure... but w.e. my dad has a "fast" old laptop from 11 year ago

You guys aren't going to waste all your money on holowaifu's, are you?
>>107808260You mean corporations will spy on me and have my private data!? GOODNESS GRACIOUS WE HAVE TO TELL THE GOVERNMENT!

>>107808295I fucking hate you, anon.
what the fuck is AMD's problem that even google is outcompeting it in ai hardware?
google literally pioneered AI specific chipsBut all the companies that outdo amd are worth trillions so whatd you expect
>even googleYou mean one the largest and richest tech company in the world and one of the pioneers of deep learning? Even them?
>>107808092cuda was a total shit till nvidia sold their first supercomputer to oak ridge then after 5-7 years the engineers started releasing tools that gave the rise to itsame thing will happen to amd
>>107808092>even google is outcompeting it in ai hardware?google builds its own enterprise grade hardware for its own data centers anon, same with amazon. google, amazon and microsoft are the data center majors on the planet, nvdia is there because they supply google, amazon and microsoft with all the shit they don't make in house, and have most of the remaining market as well. amd competes with nvdia as a hardware vendor. this should suprise no one.

the x220 has a keyboard width of 286 mm, which is exactly like on a regular keyboard. the x270 has a smaller keyboard at 270 mm. what keyboards do current t14 or x13 models have?
>>107806916it will rune fine on 10+ years old ewaste if you give it enough ram and ssd.if you want something recent t14 g1|g2 should be best bang for the buck.
>>107807520 (me)okay I figured out that the t14 has normal sized keys, but the whole keyboard is not as wide because they shaved off a couple mm's on the right side, meaning the enter key and \| key aren't as large as on a typical keyboard
What the fuck is up with ebay/used prices??? People are really buying those $250 320 gig hard drive x230s???And how do tech youtubers get their hands on those $2 thrift store T480 deals, I’ve literally never seen a laptop at a flea market below $50, let alone at a thrift store.
>>107788057>libreboot announces support for something>gay scalper retards vacuum all the stock up, flash the lot, and resell for $800 a pop
I bought an external hard drive, UPS needed 4 tries to deliver it because they tried to deliver it to a shop that's closed again and again until I called them and said to deliver it to my address. So it's been loaded and unloaded from the tuck 4 times and probably been thrown a lot. The outer box is visibly dented. Should I send it back? It does have 4 year warranty though.
>>107805450I've bought $10 500GB HDDs from eBay, and none have failed me yet. I scanned them through Crystal Disk Info, and they all came out fine--last time I check, that is...They're from e-waste recycling centers, and actually aren't that old. Don't know if that was a good deal or not though. Probably would've been better to buy at least a TB. >>107805609My oldest drives are from 2008 and 2013, both 3.5". My backup drive with all my maymays is from 2015.
>>107805358So is this normal or not? The HDD also makes a knocking sound.
>>107808169ye don't to worry
>>107808346sure?
>>107805358Keep it, and use it for science fiction sound design.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ywWFvjE-yU

If Linux is not Unix, then what is it really?
>>107808023unix-like
I use it extensively. I dont really want to install something for that feature but I guess what's the best way to replicate that functionality?
why does microshit do stuff like this?FUCKING WHY
>>107807487So the old icons didn't even show the state of charge?The ONLY thing that's actually useful to know?And new the icon does but /g/ still whines because of baby duck syndrome?
What a retarded thread
crazy how Apple has managed to solve this
>>107808161But where is the leaf icon to virtue signal you're saving the hecking environment while vibe coding?
>>107808268Got a chuckle out of me
HANDSOME floppies!
>>107794710there were 768k floppy too?
>>107807463If I remember correctly those didn't have as expensive materials used as the higher density ones so kinda made sense. Higher density material was more expensive to produce at least in the early days.
why did minidisc not catch on?
>>107808073Sony being completely up their own ass with DRMcheap, broadly available drives with arbitrary read/write would have saved the format, but instead you needed to fuck around with proprietary shitware to record purposely gimped audio files with no way to use them as generic data storage.MD was basically a write-only format, the MZ-RH1 was the only device that supported ripping discs

>>107764199how stupid are normies to think this is a bad thing?
>>107764199Lol I predicted this a year ago. Taiwanese work morals, professionalism and accuracy is unique. Amerimutts are lazy, entitled and dumb.

>>107803325Normies will never switch to Linux, if they have to look at a command prompt even once their brains will short out.

I want a case with no windows and lots of space for fans. I won't be using any drives other than NVMe so I'd like to shave off some depth that would go to the hard drive cage. Is picrel the best choice or is there anything better?
Sliger cerberus x is pretty small for an atx case if you have money to waste

This is genuinely one of the worst phone have ever used and I got it for free. Stay away from google products.

They are garbage.

>>107806261My Pixel 9 Pro XL is easily the best phone I've ever owned which includes everything from iPhones to flagship Samsungs, Sony, Motorola and such.
>>107806261Hey you just described my experience with a shitty iPhone 14 that I have to use for work. Literally all the same issues.
