I'm 95% sold on crippling my Apple hardware with Linux autism. I'd lose ~35% of battery life. But I hate Mac OS with a passion.Please, convince me not to.
>>107736412>Please, convince me not to.never, macOS fucking sucks these days, I'd gladly pay the battery life penalty if my M4 was compatible with it
>>107736561>And why do you still buy Apple hardware?NTA but the hardware is goodI have a Vivobook S 16 with a nice OLED screen, a Ryzen 9 HX 370 and 32GB RAM. The M4 Air has much much better battery life while keeping cool, it's not comparablethat's literally the only reason
>>107736412I'd rather use macos than anything made by the pedophile hector martin and his gang of troons.yeah I know he left the project a while ago but it's all the same, ain't touching asahi troonix with a 10 feet pole.
>>107736412progress seems to be constantly slowing on asahi. seriously. how many years do we have to wait for dp over usbc? it was "basically working" like two years ago and yet they never finish the code. it was good for writing and compiling code, but i always had issues with yt playback dropping frames and frametime inconsistency. Now I just keep UTM running for linux.

I mentioned on a /pol/ thread about SSD prices that I had a Samsung 840 pro SSD that had basically been on 24/7 since I bought it 14 years ago. An anon in that thread wanted crystaldiskinfo but I was too lazy to reinstall windows on it. Then a Russian anon told me about smartmontools. Hopefully both of them will find this thread since that one is now archived.Now, to the main two points of this thread.-Can anyone beat my high score?-How long do you think this MLC SSD can last? Because I'm going to run it until failure.
>>>/pol/
>How long do you think this MLC SSD can last?As long as you want, it depends on how much you write on it. I think it could last longer if you don't write that much to it and treat it read-only unless you have to really change things.
HP-UX hit EOL 12/31/25, no future patches. Not many commercial Unixes left.https://www.osnews.com/story/144094/hp-ux-hits-end-of-life-today-and-im-sad/

>>107740512Xinuos (deadname SCO) has two Unixes they stlll sell, Unixware and OpenServer. They apparently have the same kernel but different syscalls implemented via different personalities, the former apparently more SVR3 and the latter more SVR4 flavored (technically they branded it as SVR5 but it's the only fruit from that tree so not a very useful descriptor). Also some different administrative tools apparently.
>>107743508sorry mixed those up, Unixware is SVR4 and OpenServer is SVR3.
STOP NOTICING THINGS
>>107730220dang is right. people like this guy end up killing internet communities because they create nothing and share nothing but snark for those who are actually doing things. if you have too many of them you end up with twitter where everyone is dunking on everyone and nobody's doing any real work out of fear of getting dunked on. perfect environment for poseurs.
>>107738986There’s a balance.Obviously you don’t want dunk addicts going hog wild shitting up the public square.But you also need critique, most people won’t notice their fly is down unless someone else tells them.
>>107738986VC niggers actually ended up killing the internet and are almost diametrically opposed to an actual hacker so good riddanceVC leadership atm is pretty much peter thiel tier cancer

What do you do with unusable old hardware (i.e. DDR4 modules)?
list it on ebay
Trash it, especially if it's a hazardous battery
>>107742014keep it in my spare hardware box
cram it
>>107742014straight into the ocean along with my car batteries
Which one and why?
>>107726581I don't use generic chatbot AI much, but a family member does, so I set up an openwebui instance for them. It uses openai just because it was the easiest to set up an API key with.I also have a year trial of perplexity pro. I like its aggressive use of reference material because in my experience grounding with tools/RAG is the only way you can hope to get accurate answers from LLMs. I don't use it much so I'm not sure yet whether I'll pay for it.Most of my LLM use is Opus 4.5 via Cursor which work pays for.
>>107738463https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/493045390/#q493057242I’m literally in the screencap and saw it happen live
>>107726581chatgpt but only because I've developed a sort of parasocial relationship with it
>>107726581It's still GPT as an all-rounder for coding, media creation, and research/questions (which are my primary AI uses). Other agents are better in some ways or others, like Grok when I need an image with titties in it.
>>107742878Yeah, chatgpt recently fluffed me up with an end-of year summary. Felt really good.

Ai has ruined breast feeding tutorials on Youtubenow its the exact same instructions with random Ai generating women giving them.and whats worse is indians sometimes splice in videos of them jerking off into their Ai breast feeding videos
>>107742301anon
>>107729974Was the rest supposed to change what happened? What did happen, anyway?
>>107741958Unless you do lossless encoding (Which no one does, specially YT), uploading at 60 FPS doesn't double your filesize, and if it's just a slideshow, it should be pretty close since you're gonna re-use pretty much the same macroblocks. What surprises me is that 4K isn't a premium feature, I feel that YT could save a lot of money if they only allowed monetized channels to upload 4K, and only YT premium subs to watch it. Realistically speaking, given that most people watch on mobile, you wouldn't really have that much backlash
>>107717251>slopwhy pick on just one. go look at some history shit. recommended videos show up, ai generated, crappy fiction represented as history which is fiction already. browse through shorts. mostly ai scammy videos, everything from paleontology to biology. all ai-genned bullshit. mega-tera gigs. also, look at these ads

>>107739824> Compositing is only an issue if you can't disable itOnce compositing becomes the norm, it changes how software is written, thus even if you can disable it, you can't really. Before compositing was a thing, software drew directly to the front buffer with accelerated drawing apis. This allowed for an unrivaled responsiveness. But now all software draws to offscreen buffers.
>>107742923I don't know, there is more to that.For example Xfce4 feels sluggish compared to Windows. Only after I changed to plain window manager and I'm still using Picom in-between the certain heaviness has gone away.I think gtk and some other stuff is just way too heavy for what they are suposed to be.
Reminder to muh bubble retards that AI is indispensable and the new default way to use computers.
That doesn't make it not a bubble. Every single person on earth needs to spend about $30/month on AI for OpenAI's valuation to be correct.
>>107743526Just like BTC will never go past $10K because *everyone already bought it*. You people are fucking retards, honestly.
>2022: Wow text-to-image will revolutionize art! This will allow anyone to become a great artist!>2026: Not one good thing produced by AI, mildly funny stuff at best, at the cost of nuking the internet foreverWhat went wrongo?
