https://github.com/justnullname/QuickView/>The fastest Direct2D-powered image viewer for Windows. Features multi-threaded JXL/AVIF decoding, GPU acceleration, and a borderless geek UI.

Incoming blogpostI'm nominally the IT purchaser at my job just because nobody newer than me has earned the "privilege" and everyone senior decides it's not worth their time. We used to have discounted pricing with Dell through one of our parent company's shell company's parent company etc. but Dell decided to "replace" all three of my contacts on their side within the last month and now the new contact refuses to acknowledge our pricing agreements or let me talk to his manager(s).The president of one of the subsidiaries I'm responsible for says his Latitude is shit and wants it replaced earlier than our typical hardware life cycle and he wants a Lenovo for the TrackPoint cursor. We normally give general population laptops 5-series CPU (Core i5/5/5 Ultra) with 16GB RAM but my predecessor ordered him an i7 and he insists he actually needs the same for his Big PowerPoints and Big Spreadsheets. To make things worse he promoted his daughter to a management position and she's requesting (and he pre-approved) a Workstation-class (Precision/Pro Max 7- or 9-series CPU with 32-64GB RAM and dedicated GPU) laptop for Big Power BI. She's not a data analyst and her vibecoded projects are already fucking up all kinds of stuff for our sysadmins.How do I tell them they're full of shit without risking my cushy perks being reassigned back to my seniors due to corporate politics.Alternatively what ThinkPads are actually good? It doesn't look like they're as customizable as Dells though the consumer-level/pre-discount prices are actually pretty competitive.
Asking here because there's no generic laptop general, are the consumer line yoga laptops any good?

Not sure if this is the right thread but I'm tired of scrolling the catalog to try and find a better fit.Last November I hit the data cap on my 800Mbit xfinity plan so I added "Unlimited" and they upgraded me to 1000Mbit. For whatever reason they decided I had had TV service and started sending me TXTs to return unused equipment that they never issued. I just assumed it was an error but last month they started charging me $14 (and prorated for part of January too) because I hadn't yet returned the hardware.Today I got on the app and had them cancel the charges going forward and they gave me a FREE* upgrade to 2Gbit for the same current price.Problem is I don't think any of my existing network hardware can actually handle 2Gbit if I decide to keep the service after the promo year. Is it worth upgrading or just cope and eventually cancel if there's no noticeable benefits?
>>108535127dunno most of us probably don't have 2g
>>108535127you really won't see any benefit except when downloading huge files, however you'll see the benefit if your upload speeds are also improved (upstream is mostly the bottleneck of homeservers)
>>108535127I got a free upgrade to 1gig late last year and don't really notice it. Sites on the internet rarely download faster than 40-50MB/s
>>108535335>>108535350I've been out of the house all day and can't find the modem model. I'm almost certain it doesn't actually support 2Gbit though. The router is a Linksys Velop Wifi 5 node. I used to use an older Netgear router configured to act as just a switch but I thought it wasn't 1Gbit and bought a cheap 8-port 1Gbit switch (forget which brand as well) only to find that Netgear thingy was 1Gbit all along.Any of that worth futureproofing?What if I tell xfinity I want xFi gateway? Is carrier supplied equipment still a bad idea?The only homelab-ish thing I have is a Pihole that I don't remember how to update or set up again if I do go forward with equipment changes...

Its a sidegrade with more bass but less soundstage and highs. Sennheiser's external cables are more prone to random failure (anecdotal).

Is entertainment the best use case for generative AI?I don't see how anyone but the most hyped up, sunk-cost fallacy kool-aid drinkers could ever think AI is suitable for engineering, research, or any critical task due to the simple fact that it hallucinates, and hallucination being inherent to the architecture of generative AI.Will the AI boom be able to sustain itself on chatbots and media generation alone?
>>108534049That's not what hallucination means in AI
Honestly if they simply picked a model and focused on refining it and building a tool ecosystem around it it could actually be useful, it just wouldn’t be the universal everything machine they’re shilling LLMs as, and everyone seems determined to race for that when you’d still need to do all that even after there’s a “winner”
>>108533163I think so, yeah. Anything where actual, strict correctness is not required seems like the best use-case. Proper integration of AI shit into video games for instance might net us more reactive and interactive worlds where NPCs and such actually react to what's happening and what the player is doing.
