How do you like your e-readers? Have you installed non-standard firmware?
>>107716766I've been very satisfied with my paperwhite 2>Have you installed non-standard firmware?No. The custom firmware isn't as solid as I'd like it to be.
I want to get an e reader for it's portable nature instead of lugging books around working and traveling.I just hate now...laggy they are.
>>107716766i have the latest Kindle Oasis with WinterBreak love: aluminum body, actual buttons, waterproofhate: size sometimes too big so i need a backpack, mini usb
>>107716766I have a 5th-gen Kindle that I still use regularly. Much easier on my eyes than any phone I've used. I got one without ads, so I don't see the need for CFW.
>>107716766I have a Kobo Libra H2O, it's amazing. I read more now than I did with paper books.>Have you installed non-standard firmware?I put KOReader on it. I never use the stock firmware, I bought it with the intention of using it with KOReader.

When I drag multiple video files to mpv from windows explorer it queues them up in reverse/descending order rather than ascending, is there any way to fix this?
>>107717172Not really, this is an absolutely ancient bug? design decision? that's part of Windows itself. If you select them in the opposite order the one on the end will go to the other end too. Never got it. Fortunately there are scripts that give better auto playlist behavior if you just have everything in a folder.
>>107717172I'm having trouble parsing what you mean when you describe the order as "reverse/descending". I'm not sure what windows does, but my expectation is that holding shift when doing drag and drop would append the new item to the end of the playlist. If that doesn't work, you can use the --drag-and-drop option to customize the behavior.
>>107717432I have 1.mp4, 2.mp4, 3.mp4 etc in a folder. If I select them all and drag to mpv window, it queues them in 3.mp4 > 2.mp4 > 1.mp4 order.>>107717406Doesn't matter which way I select them, it always plays from largest number to smallest unfortuntately.
So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.
>>107715239Did you mean to reply to that other anon?
>>107712702The unix philosophy is based becsuse at least we're not out here trying to use horribly outdated versions because our os is going to hell like windows philosophy has caused
>>107716040bro, your OS is literally called "eunuchs"
>>107705709What, like on modern hardware? You will almost certainly have no driver support whatsoever and I don't think Win 2000 even has a 64b version, which would mean you're going to be limited to <4GB usable RAM. That wouldn't be completely unusable for a modern browser, but it's tight, assuming you can even get a modern browser capable of displaying the modern web properly.
>>107705709It’s not, but that’s not gonna stop you!What if you got VMware Workstation Pro for free and put 2000 in that? Then you can live your botnet free life in the VM. I run 98SE in VMware and it works good!

What (non-game) software did you pay money for instead of pirating and it was perfectly worth it?
>>107717092Removing ads in a mobile photo editing software that's made by one dude. Was $3.49 I think. I like it and I've used it for over half a decade.
>>107717092Simply the best there is.
>>107717092AATools from G-Lock Software (high quality aio network tools) and the Intel C compiler which produced massively optimized binaries (FastMame being a flagship example).
>>107717533>Intel C compilerThis isn't actually different than LLVM nowadays right? I thought once they merged OneAPI into LLVM Intel just rebased their compiler onto LLVM.
>>107717546Honestly I have no idea. Back then the improvement was massive. Today, who knows.
First time edition!!!The last thread was ages ago and I missed seeing some cool setups! I apologize if I'm missing anything cause this is my first time posting one of these, hopefully we can share some nice setups!!
>>107699694absolutely based and comfy. is that wii homebrewed? when it is you can put any game from NES-Wii on it and play with official nintendo classic controllers like pic rel that plug into the wii remote. so you have an all-in-one set up where you're playing on a CRT with the original controller as it would have been when it came out. Oh man I'm baseding out hard
>>107716544minecraft and black ops zombies.
>>107715663oh man that's comfy. do you mind sharing what some of that stuff is between the CRTs and what they do? Looks like an oscilloscope, a UV meter, and some other things. I really like analog tech
>>107717269I initially set this stuff up for a music video I still haven't made, a lot of it is test equipment that I normally have elsewhere on my workbench. It's still sitting there for when I want to play games or burn CDs though.That's not a normal oscilloscope, it's a curve tracer. I mainly use it for matching transistors and diodes for audio circuits, oscillators, filters, etc. Other than that there is a function generator, multimeter, PSU, frequency counter.The laparoflator equipment isn't something I have a use for really, it's just medical equipment that came alongside the medical PVM just out of frame on the right. Right under that PVM is a NTSC waveform monitor and vectorscope. I am using that as part of my setup for calibrating CRTs for my video wall which has been an ongoing project for some time.

Microsoft should just hand windows over to a non-profit, goverment or some different non-commercial entity.
