I keep telling myself faggot you are a grown man, earning big salary, be a man and not a kid anymore and buy a good respectable automatic watch but this thing that looks like a kids toy I have on my wrist is pure perfection of engineering and utility and usability
>>107646189>Once you touch a titanium watch you will never wear steel again.Once you see how easily titanium scratches, you'll never wear titanium again. I know it's not the titanium scratching, it's the oxide, but still, same shit. Looks like crap, and you can't have a nice mirror finish to match the dial.Lume is superior to LED. Modern lume easily lasts all night, I can see mine at 6am in the dark.
how do I un-wristlet myself?
>>107646256>Once you see how easily titanium scratches,It's true, but it feels so fucking good to wear I accept the scratches and wear it anyway. After all a steel watch scratches too, even if it's slower. I work with my hand and i keep banging my wrists on things, I scratch steel, i dent sapphire, I even managed to gouge the DLC coating. Don't care about the watch, it's just a bracelet, care about yourself and how you feel wearing it.

>>107640087nothing has really changed, the chinks figured out a way to bypass the fees by just shipping items in bulk instead of individual packages.prices have genuinely barely been impacted.>>107644029all computer fans are chinkshit already, it's a completely globalized product.your best bet is refurbished ones direct from brands on ebay or something.i have had good results from buying "damaged" water coolers and just taking the fans, they are usually completely unused and the radiators were just damaged in shipping. sometimes it's just completely cosmetic and you can get a full AIO water cooler for peanuts.
I want a "smart" thermostat, but seems like they all are rather dumb, having their "smarts" in the cloud. And fuck that shit.Does Chang offer a smart thermostat that works offline? I just wanna program some stuff like >heat up to 23° from 0600 to 0700>stay at 18° from 0700 to 1700>heat up to 24° from 1700 to 2200>cool down to 16° from 2200 to 0600and a>gimme full power nao!!!button.Wouldn't mind doing that shit with a d-pad on the thermostat or per app and bluetooth, if it's an open standard and I could use some FOSS app on my PC, should the phone app stop being supported.

I can't figure out what makes ThinkPad fans work different between Linux and Windows. On Windows 11 my P16s seems to turn them off under no load which is not the case on any distribution I've tested so far. Am I missing a driver or something? Are they supposed to be controlled from user space (can't see any fan curves in the BIOS)?
I'm eyeing another T480 i7, but the cost of the RAM upgrade I always do on them (2x 32GB DDR4 SODIMM) is now double the cost of the machine itself.
>>107594789I'm trying to install fedora on my thinkpad t14 gen 2 intel and it's been a PAIN IN THE ASSDo you guys just use windows 11 in your thinkpads? There's simply no way to make this shit boot from the fedora usb drive I made. I already updated the BIOS and there's simply no "microsoft 3rd party shit" that everyone tells me to enableInstalling on my pc was so fucking easy, I dont get it
Unlimited budget. macOS fag here. Which thinkpad? Give me power folks.

Placed the Server into Docker. Now any game runs lag free.Will test it on Chronicon for a while, but even after 50k actions the AI dumb. Maybe you have to set it to a certain stage so it understands but even with starting areas it struggles hard.Anyone had success yet with completing entire game or successfully doing tasks?

>>107646391All current AIs get dumber the longer they run, it’s inherit to the way most of them work (by token prediction), since they have to input all the previous token before outputting single new token.
It's gonna get worse.Microsoft replaces all Windows code (it might be named Windows 12 by then) with Rust.Windows was written with C/C++. They want to replace those lines with Rust.https://www.thurrott.com/dev/330980/microsoft-to-replace-all-c-c-code-with-rust-by-2030Microsoft plans to eliminate all C and C++ code across its major codebases by 2030, replacing it with Rust >using AI-assisted, large-scale refactoring.

Rewriting windows in Rust is a rare Rust W because Windows cannot get any shittier at this point so Rust rewrite might not improve it, but it won't be shittier.
Who cares about rust? Most jeets can't even use .map right most of the time. It's fucking electron. Tear that shit out. I would LOVE if they hired 200 trannies to rewrite everything in rust. Burn everything down. The troons they hire for these rewrites need to use their mental illness to smoke out every last bit of webshit on that godforsaken pile of shit they call an os. Also if they fail, even better, gets developers finally off to focus on linux and macos, literally win either way. You gotta crack some eggs anon

>OLED TVs are most durable by far in terms all malfunctions>burn-in is solved and only occurs when you do it intentionally https://youtu.be/ot1gr-YypY4
>>107640575>>107634809what panel you using?
>>107643856>their tests have shown LCD backlights burn out tooIf you buy a shitty enough screen sure. You can get LCD displays where the backlight will last 50 years though. The technology works. It can scale to arbitrary intensity and do it with good color rendition. It's only a question of cost. OLED doesn't work at any cost.
>>107640560So burn-in has been virtually solved for years already.
>oleds are crACK
Run your tv for a few hours then touch the back of it and you’ll notice that it’s very hot. They put all the tvs very close to each other when they did the test. There must be a lot of heat around them.

>>107642142It does work just fine.What problems have you encountered with it?
>>107643259Incompatible packages. Retarded packages requiring different versions of python. I needed venvs at least. They are fine, uv etc just make it easier, it's basically the same thing. I guess you could do it yourself in various ways but why would I?
>>107644051None of that sounds like an issue with pip.The complaint I have is that it doesn't recompute dependencies when installing additional packages into an existing venv. It does warn about this, though.

proprietary software is not inherently evil. There is nothing wrong with for example an indie game dev working on a game for months and then releasing it and wanting payment for it. Literally nothing wrong with that. Yes he has to keep the source code hidden and maybe even obfuscate the binary because if he didn't then people would just crack or download it for free. Yes he may need to put restriction checks in so you can only run it on one PC. Nothing here is evil, you are free to not buy it.Imagine you called a banana farmer evil because after spending weeks and weeks harvesting his banana trees he was charging for them at the local market. Imagine telling him he should allow people to go up to his banana stand and just take as many bananas as they want without paying. Imagine trying to claim he could techincally still make money by selling the bananas for money, he would just also have to allow people to take them free of charge at the same time. Morons.

>>107639695The part of collecting and probably selling all your shopping history to a third party.
>>107641106Stores already do that with their own apps. When you're close to the store, the prices for products magically drop, but when you enter the store, they magically raise back up. Even with shopping apps like Instacart, they set the price based on an algorithm, so you can pay a higher price than someone using the app right next to you. Once you realize that 100% of shit in this world is fake & gay, you stop caring.
