UPDATE:

initially the service center said there was no fault, so i sent them a detailed email of the problems with the laptop. they tested it again and have ordered a new fan and a new panel. they said that there is a problem with one of the fans not doing their job. heat was being trapped within the laptop and not being dissipated properly.

if that's the case what happened to the screen? was it overheating so much it blew up when they tested it again? surely they must've ran a more intensive test the 2nd time?

what happened?

Excuse me, is this the thread for asking stupid questions?

damn. they said that heat was being trapped within the laptop chassis and it caused the panel to malfunction/break. i'm sure they wouldn't admit it if i asked. this is an officially licensed msi service centre too. i take it the new screen and fan will be an official MSI replacement?
>>109717734
it's under a 2 year MSI manufacturers warranty. i'm honestly thinking of extending it for another 2 years for £200 because it's an msi vector 16 with a 275hx and a 5080 with 32gb ram that i got for just above 2000 on clearance sale. similar laptops cost 2700 now.

they even cover all of the shipping costs so the laptop will last until 2030 guaranteed. thanks for the responses anons

I have a TV that runs on a shitty chink os instead of Android. I'd like to stream games to it from my pc, but without Android I can't install Moonshine on the TV. I'm thinking of buying another device to connect via Displayport and install Moonshine on that. What's the best bang for buck? I don't really need anything else other than being able to connect to my router and run Moonshine on it, but I'd also like it to run above 1080p and 60hz. Is there any Android box/pen that runs above that?

I know I can get a DE/WM in WSL2, but can I fullscreen dual monitor that shit?
I've been playing with the idea that I should have windows on my HD with a linux VM fullscreened 90% of the time until I wanna use some windows only programs. WSL2 seems like a no-brainer option but I'm not finding much googling about dual monitors. I want to try and ignore the fact that I'm in windows at all until I need it, dual booting just means I'll never boot into windows

>>109719925
Plug and play, lack of infrastructure to run local models quickly.

But the flip side is also true. Induatries with strict data access controls or government regulations can generally not use cloud based models, so they have to pay big up-front cost for local models. And for small busineses like medical, etc., those up-front costs can be too much to even bother.

i want to have a flexible array member in a struct, but due to the way my memory management is structured i would prefer to have a minimal/default size, so now at the end of the struct i declare an array with the minimal size. isn't accessing the array out of bounds (which may do) UB. is there a way to pad the struct (can't add members after a flexible array) so i have the struct be big enough. my other option is to make a union and have the struct and an array of bytes big enough for struct + min flexible array size, but then accessing is more work. any ideas?

So firstly, they are not. The chinese open-weight models are maybe 70-80% as good as the top openai/anthropic model at any given time. The gap may not be enormous but it is significant: it's almost always cheaper to pay a 2x more expensive AI to save 10% more time for a human developer. And a slightly better AI will make stupid mistakes less often, will require less effort in code review, will require less "go back and fix this" back and forth from the developer, can be trusted to write better tests with less time and effort spent carefully auditing them, etc. etc. etc. A better AI compounds really quickly and is almost always worth the cost.

And that's open weight AIs by the way, like the 2.8 trillion parameter K3. Actual "local AIs" that you can feasibly run without a datacenter cluster means ones up to about 100bn parameters (if you buy a massive rig with multiple GPUs, if it's just on your desktop with a single GPU it's more like 10-20bn). Those have gotten much, much better than in the past, but they're obviously another pretty massive step down. Nobody uses them for actual work except autists.

That was firstly. Then secondly, enterprises will almost always choose a cloud hosted service over a local one, and the reason is managed risk and support. You pay X dollars for a contract, you factor that into your budget, you get written guarantees of Y service uptime and quality, you are happy.
Meanwhile you try to host it yourself, you need to allocate engineer time, you need to estimate the workload, then the work goes above the estimate and gets delayed and you're also paying double the engineer-hour salaries, then once it's up something fucks up every now and then and your engineers spend more hours fixing it, there's downtime and the system is unavailable...
Enterprises always prefer to just lock up a pre-agreed upon sum of money into a contract and get a guaranteed service. Always.

Is it USB-C? If so yes. The wattage of the charger is the maximum it can deliver, the wattage of the laptop is the maximum it can accept. It will be completely fine, it will just be slow, in fact it may be slow enough that you might have to turn the laptop off to charge. But nothing bad will happen.

In general, in electricity, remember this: voltage has to always be matched, because it's the "strength" of the electricity and so pushing e.g. too much voltage will damage things or providing too little will fail to work; amperage however is just a max limit, it's the "amount" of electricity, and a device or consumer will draw as much electricity as it needs up to the maximum the source can provide.
Power is voltage * amperage. So for chargers, the question is whether the voltage will match. And USB Power Delivery includes voltage level negotiation, with safe standard fallbacks for unsupported devices or if negotiation fails, so the voltage will always be safe. This means that a lower powered charger will either negotiate a lower voltage (safely agreeing with the device), or provide a lower max amperage, or both; the result will be safe just slow. A higher powered charger will do the same in the opposite direction: either negotiate a lower voltage than its max (if the device only supports a lower voltage), and/or simply not use up all its amperage capacity.

Flexible array members don't have a definite size tho. You allocate memory and (usually) put the struct at the start, the rest being the array. You can allocate more space and memcpy/memmove it over to a bigger one, sure.

Is it a terrible idea to hardwarp characters in email? I want mine to go up to 80 (well, 79) and then hit the newline, but when I consider mobile screens I get a big headache. Most phone screens can't display 80 chars in portrait mode. And 40 chars in a desktop screen looks silly

Just use HTML and let clients figure it out

i live in an apartment and ive been having this weird power issue for a while now where at random, getting up out of my chair would cause my pc to surge and need a hard shutdown. (fans would max out and the display would go black almost instantly) my theory was that something in the wall was getting jostled just so, but im not even sure if thats possible. i dont weight very much, and even when i get up as gingerly as possible it would still happen.
anyway, this wasnt a consistent problem for a long time but now all of a sudden it happens almost every single time i get up and i have no fucking idea what i can even do about it, if anything. im worried that having this happen all the time is gonna damage something. i wish i could explain more but its just such a baffling issue and ive never seen anything like it. what else could it even be other than an electrical issue with the building itself? ive never had this happen living anywhere else

>>109727657
Probably a grounding issue with the wall plug or something got jostled loose inside the case while you were moving. Crack it open, check all the connections, check the wall plug with a 2 prong adapter.

>>109727446
thank you

>>109727684
i doubt its a case issue since it hasnt moved in some time, but ill check anyway. i have a 2-prong adapter handy, but what/how am i checking in the wall? i dont have anything in terms of specialized electrical equipment really

Dolphin was usable for most games back in 2015 so anything remotely decent. Now since then they have improved accuracy at the cost of performance, since CPUs have only gotten more powerful, but probably anything decent from this decade will do.
There are some games which are particularly annoying to emulate, and back in 2015 they were essentially considered unplayable, whereas nowadays high end systems can actually brute force them and I think pretty much every single game is playable today. So if you have a weak system, there will be a small handful of games that are going to be too slow. But those are rare, so just look up the games you wanna play on the dolphin wiki to be sure.

>>109727909
>So if you have a weak system
i wanted to build an emulation only machine for my mom

>>109727890
Frankly I'm pretty sure it is literal ewaste. Consider this, if you did one day miraculously want to use a very cheap dGPU for some project, you could almost certainly find something on ebay for literally $10 or less that would be significantly newer, more powerful, and proper PCIe. Like a GTX 680 or 780. Hell even a 1080 is probably cheap as shit even today.
There has been enough GPU progress in the past decade or two that even with the price craz right now and people scooping up used shit everywhere, there's still a ton of GPUs which are so old they're completely unwanted for anything, while being several orders of magnitude more powerful than yours.

So if one day you do think "hmmm I could use an ancient ewaste GPU for this" you can go on ebay and spend $10. But that day is unlikely enough that you should just toss your current one now rather than hoarding it in the hopes of maybe possibly using it some day.

I want to get into Monero, but I have some questions about it.

a) Is there a "proper" way to get it? I mean sure, you can just buy the coins directly using fiat (through your debit/credit card or w/e), but is that really okay? any downsides other than my bank knowing I'm constantly buying internet money? I've also seen you can use some sort of gift cards or prepaid cards instead, but afaik (and correct me if I'm wrong) these seem to be only available in the USA.

b) Why is crypto in general still seen as a bad thing? I know a lot of people use it for scams, but c'mon, same shit happens with regular money. However, sometimes I've mentioned monero or bitcoin during conversations with normalfag friends/acquaintances and all of them give me the same reaction:
>"eughh, isn't that like a virus or some sort of scam thing anon??"

Which is a shame because I'm actually an illustrator, and I'd love to offer monero payments as an option, but I fear this would make some of my clients/followers mad or even give me something of a bad rep online.

>>109728459

If you're trying to go above board for your business / gig work, use a licensed exchange like Kraken. It's also the lowest overhead way. If it's to protect your own privacy the 'correct' way depends on your risk tolerance.
>b) Why is crypto in general still seen as a bad thing?
Because it's 100% scams except Monero and a small number of me too offerings. Which are only legal in 48 states and pretty much nowhere outside the US where they have any kind of crypto regulation.

Like the other anon said, if it's all above board then just use Kraken. The downside of doing this is that your bank (and therefore the government) knows you are acquiring monero. They cannot know what happens to it afterwards, but they're gonna have questions if you suddenly get a bunch of cash later and you never paid any taxes from holding or selling or trading the monero they know you bought earlier. Not an issue if you do pay taxes and generally not an issue if you never spend it, otherwise you need a good story for it.
A more private way would be to swap it for cash with an individual. Retoswap lets you do that. Downside is you're sending some kind of cash transfer to a random seller guy, and the prices are usually marked up over normal exchange rates.

The main obstacle here is the fiat on-ramp; if you can aquire any other cryptocurrency without a bank trail (e.g. literally paying a friend in person, or whatever) there are KYC-less crypto-only exchanges where you can swap to monero. Trocador is a nice wrapper around them. Access over tor or i2p obviously. This could be easier because e.g. bitcoin is still a lot more widely used than monero; some cities have (or had) literal bitcoin ATMs, albeit with a non-negligible markup.

>why is crypto seen as a bad thing
"Crypto" is very loosely regulated and has seen a LOT of shady shit happening. Almost all normies still remember NFTs (which was a type of crypto). It's also associated with shitcoin gambling, pumps and dumps, etc.
Because you hold your own keys, you are also able to lose them - either to mishandling, or to scammers. So normie news are rife with headlines like "man loses $10M fortune due to losing bitcoin wallet", or scammers stealing someone's life savings in bitcoin, etc.

All of that combined means normies who have zero actual knowledge about it just have the term crypto/bitcoin associated with "scam" and "shady" and "NFT" in their minds, and that's all they know.

i wrote/prompted a script that hides low-engagement bait threads on the catalog. i want you to try it and tell me why it sucks and that you hate it:
https://rentry.co/quirps43
>only works with 4chanX/XT/whichever forks are still using the same class names
>only works on the catalog
>ignores watched/highlighted threads
>click the "Trimmed" button on the top right of the catalog to look at the hidden threads
>what is the fucking point
there is always at least 20-30 bait threads with low engagement sitting at the bottom of the catalog on their way to page 11, especially if you sort by reply count
the constants for low-engagement are in picrel, change them if you want and tell me what works best for you

did that running clanker thread get deleted before it reached page 10 kek

Why did the modern web ecosystem replace Flash?

>>109738279
Flash browser plugins were insecure and adobe didn't want to maintain it. It was quite old at that point and html5 features caught up to it.
But flash was never really replaced in the online community, that's the problem. The web still lacks an ecosystem like flash, even if you can do more complex stuff now in js

It got to a point where it was just a shittier web browser within a web browser.

>>109736994
low engagement threads are usually not bait threads, and vice versa
often threads with only a few replies are genuine threads with some question or topic that just most anons using the board for doomscrolling and brand warring scroll past and ignore. conversely a lot of threads with high engagement are often bait threads or the same old retarded shit of OS wars, brand wars, consoomerist threads, consoomerism wars, etc etc

>>109739293
it's not intended to hide newly created threads btw
it was intentional to hide threads that are dying because most people are ignoring them. we are just picking up on the signals of a poor quality thread, and hiding it. the toggle is there if you feel like it's hiding too much.

i tested it on boards i post on and some i don't. it ends up hiding a bunch of threads i would never post in, which is most threads regardless if they are shitposts or not.

it makes over half of /mu/'s catalog disappear which is only interesting to note as a factoid about how shit and dead that board is.
on boards like /vg/ where threads are intended to last longer it's only hiding a couple of shitty gacha threads.

there was no serious goal here i just wanted to test a theory i had that poor quality low engagement threads were wasting screen real estate, and moments of my time. if i keep using it i'd probably end up recommend tweaking it per-user. i am not in power of what those values should be. you can tweak the namespace as well, to only include boards that are generally full of time-wasting topics. treat it as like a soft shitpost blocker i guess.

How can I download a livestream as it's happening on this specific cam site (picked a random model)

Yt-dlp doesn't seem to support that site.

Normally I'd try something like Video Download Helper but that just says "Download failed, we don't support that site".

I tried m3u8 sniffer to see if I could put the m3u8 link into Yt-dlp or something. I only see these 2, called 'First' and 'Last':

Depends entirely on the vendor, no way we can answer that. However, if it's the 3rd best tier, I would go in expecting that it'll actually be pretty shit. Scratches, dirty, etc.

why do modern PCs bother with hdd lights when they're constantly on because modern OSs constantly read/write from the hdd whether you want it to or not?

Standards take a long time today. Why do moden keyboards still have Insert, Pause/Break and similar keys? Because they've always had it.
That said some modern desktop cases don't have an HDD light anymore (mine doesn't), and most laptops haven't had one in a long while either. Just like how you can also buy smaller keyboards that drop the old Insert/Pause/etc. keys and even the numpad if you don't need it.

Where does blkid "get" UUIDs from for partitions? And what the fuck is a PARTUUID and can I use it fstab too?

$ sudo blkid

...
/dev/sda4: UUID="some uuid" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="some other uuid"
...

Resizing a partition does not change the UUID somehow, so it's not just a checksum of the partition. But I don't specify that in gparted anywhere.

anything AI generated is inherently watermarked by the nature of the technology, by which I mean the output produces clear signatures that will tell anyone who cares exactly which model and version it was generated with

I've been using a Python script that I wrote for years, it just calls ffmpeg and makes it a bit easier to use. It makes VP9 webms, never tried making MP4s since this thing works so I never bothered changing things.

>>109743843
>is there an option to make it limit conversions to 4MB?
Calculate the bitrate required (divide 4MB by the length of the webm output) and tell ffmpeg to target said bitrate. The script I use just takes the size limit (so 4MB here) as an input parameter and calculates the bitrate by itself. I always use 2-pass encoding on ffmpeg to get max quality possible in these tiny file sizes and I've found it to be quite accurate with the bitrate, though usually I specify a size a bit under 4MB since it's not a hard limit.

>>109743843
Handbrake. You'll need to calc the average bitrate like >>109744434 mentions, but you can save a preset for 4chan and have the software load that by default instead of using the command line.

just play it in mpv and then use the dump-cache command
just make sure to up your cache size
alternatively there was other command (stream-write? something like that) that does the same but during playback so you don't rely on cache
look up the documentation
usually you just save as .ts
as an even better alternative, once you have the m3u8 link I think you can just give it to ffmpeg and it can write it to disk as the stream goes on, in fact I think this second method is far more straightforward if you don't care about watching the stream as it plays
that's how i used to save streams from those sexo colombian camgirls in chaturbate back in the day

>How do I write a README for my github repository for the instructions to work universally for everyone potentially running it?
Usually that means targeting the main three OSes (windows, mac and linux) AND making sure your linux instructions are fully distro-agnostic which can be annoying. You will never truly make it work for "everyone", but if you wanted to you could also add BSD instructions.

>I ran my github repository which is a next.js web app on my old laptop and my program is super slow and the client components are all on top of each other. For some reason it adjusts on my PC screen but on my laptop the client components are all on top of each other. How do I fix this shit?
Is the laptop screen smaller? If so sounds like your layout is shit, make it responsive.
Being super slow is normal because you are making a "web app" in one of the most bloated and slow frameworks to ever exist, so it will only run on modern computers, don't expect a next.js app to be fast on anything that's somewhat older.

Software dev here, AI nowdays is at the point where it's barely even slop anymore, if you use the best ones available. Right now all the devs I know are basically already highly experienced and spend most of their time designing and coordinating complex systems, with AI acting as basically teams of junior devs and writing 95-99% of the actual code. The thing everyone was saying early on that "oh AI will basically work as a junior dev" has now pretty much happened.

You have to sanitize the URL you're posting, usually the ONLY thing you need is the "v" variable (e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=[videoid]). If it has more variables you can just delete them. In particular you want to make sure you delete the "si" variable (probably "share id") which is the variable tracking who shared the link and who clicked on it.

it seems when i copy and paste a pornhub link into either program it seems to think the link directs to pornhubs main page and not an individual video
does anyone know how to get around this?

>>109753377
I remember having a similar issue with other sites too. I use an extension instead to download videos instead now.

If your goal is to paste a bunch of links and download them all then this one wont help you. It's mainly for sites that don't offer a download option. Also if you care about the quality at all then this one might not be for you. I don't care much about the quality of the porn videos I download and I don't bulk download them so this is enough for me.

What are some youtube channels about the current tech industry that aren't just clickbait or trying to sell something?

Internet of Bugs is pretty good.

My swap file almost always ends up full after a day or two. I've reduced writing to it from 60 to 10 and still the same thing ends up happening.
Is this inherently bad, will it fuck up my ssd? I have more than double the RAM than I actually use, so I'm not sure why my swap file is being written to.

>>109754203
How do you know that your swap file/page file is getting written to? Usually it doesn't write anything unless you run out of RAM.

>>109754234
I check my system monitor and there is almost always something written to it. My RAM usage is almost always under 16gb and I have 32gb available. Any ideas?

That's not...how swap works...
That just means when you run out of RAM, then 570.7MB will be written to the SSD so it doesn't crash. That doesn't mean it wrote 570.7MB of data in your SSD. Are you running out of RAM? No, then it's not writing anything, but saying that it will write that amount when you run out of RAM. If you are running out of RAM then yeah, I would get worried but modern SSDs can usually handle all that. You're more likely to replace an SSD because it got older than actually see it die because it reached the TBW limit.

Why does it seem like so much of the AI art going around now is so noisy?

Can I use GPUs that need an 8pin without it in a power limited mode?

>>109756339
Hides piece transitions like greebling on multi-part plastic assemblies. Same reason other AI art has that weird smoothing applied everywhere.

>>109756437
No because most desktop GPUs use more than 75w.

>>109756437
It's technically possible but ime it's very rare, and when they do work they're locked in idle power state. Which is worse than onboard video.

So I want to learn how to repack my pirated games. Kind of like how fitgirl, dodi, elamigos does it. I mainly just want to save more HDD space because of how retarded prices are. How are they able to achieve 50-90% compression rate on some of the games?

>>109753370
Where specifically is this shown in the official documentation page? I'm not looking for the AI response. I need the location in the docs.

Where would you estimate the balance on /g/ to be about AI? Do you consider people here to be generally delusional in favor or in opposition to AI? And am I the only one having an existential crisis because of it?

WATER INSIDE MY LAPTOP!!!!! :-O

How the fuck do I fix this? My laptop is in sleep mode right now. It was sitting on my bed. I took a half-frozen bottle of soda out of the freezer (I left it in too long so instead of just getting cold it got frozen) and stupidly I left it standing on top of my laptop to thaw out.

I picked up the laptop, noticed some condensation on the lid, shook it off . . . and MORE WATER CAME OUT FROM THE INSIDE. Apparently the frozen soda bottle sitting on top of the lid/screen section caused condensation to form INSIDE the screen section and now it's LITERALLY DRIPPING WET inside.

I've got a dehydrator that I use for dehydrating my 3d printer filaments. Can I safely stick the laptop in that thing at say 130F (55C) foor a few hours? Should I keep it lower, or go even higher?

Second option: I've got a tub of dessicant. I can put it in a plastic bin (doesn't seal but it at least limits the airflow a little) along with the laptop.

Will either of these options help save my laptop? How long should I leave it in the dehydrator or poorly-sealed dessicant box?

>>109757448
>Will either of these options help save my laptop?
I mean, they certainly won't make it worse than it is right now.

>>109757448
leaving it to dry, powered off (completely, not just in sleep mode) for as long as you possibly could in the least humid area you could place it is unironically the best you could do
and even then, leftover water inside, however little, could still fuck it up

>>109757522
>leaving it to dry, powered off (completely, not just in sleep mode)
Unfortunately there is no way to power it off. If I open the lid to hit the power button, then it will power up completely and definitely fry. Its battery is internal, not a swappable external battery.

>>109757448
How far do you want to go to save it?
Remove the battery.
Open it up.
Remove the CMOS battery if it has one.
Remove the RAM.
Remove the SSD.
Basically, remove every connector you can find. Even the screen if it's possible.
Wet electronics corrode at the connection points faster than anywhere else. It's why when phones get water damage and you take it to a repair shop quickly they always unplug EVERYTHING and letting it dry. It saves the device 90% of the time.

I know ADB is how I can remove unwanted apps and bloat on my pixel but what if it doesnt allow me to remove some of the recommended ones?

I've been out of the loop with HDMI Capture Devices for a really long time. I remember when the only way to record/stream video games consoles was spending well over $100 on ELGATO brand stuff. Well, low and behold, I'm looking on Amazon and Ebay right now and see a plethora of these devices that all look the same for $10. WOW, it sure has gotten cheap!

Are these actually any good? All I want to do is record/stream 1080p/60fps video using OBS and the HDMI passthrough should have zero latency. Should I spend more than $10?

I downloaded a modded version of hypic with premium features on android but this keeps pops up to me, I downloaded through multitude of sites but it keeps popping up, what to do? Where can I download it and it works fine?

>>109754382
NTA but this explanation seems very weird.
>That just means when you run out of RAM, then 570.7MB will be written to the SSD so it doesn't crash.
When you run out of RAM, as much will be written to swap as is needed to continue operating. How can it know while you're at 40% RAM used, that if you were to run out you would need to write 570MB to swap? What if you run out of RAM because of an explosive memory leak somewhere, and you need to fill swap entirely and then crash anyway? I don't think this metric works the way you say it does.
And yes as far as I'm aware linux will sometimes drop stuff to swap even when the memory isn't full, just pre-emptively, especially depending on the swappiness setting.

>>109754337
IMO having 2GB swap when you have 32GB RAM is utterly useless. If you want to avoid the extra writes to your SSD just get rid of the swap.

How tf am I supposed to clean the inside of my PC if it's full of dust but I don't want to scratch anything?

>>109760079
blow air

>>109760101
I need to remove the dust, not push it in further.

>>109760107
the PC is finite in space, if you keep pushing it in further it will eventually remove itself from the other side

no but unironically canned air or an air blower are the standard ways to clean out a PC, just don't be a mong and blow it out

>>109760112
My pc is closed on the other side to keep in the cables in place. That's how it came with the case. I can't take it out. Do you even own a desktop PC?

>>109760271
skill issue

>>109760271
my desktop PC came closed on both sides, and it opens on both sides
anyway you fucking mong just blow air diagonally so it comes out of the back/top/bottom you utter retard, it should not be this difficult to visualise, if you blow high speed air into the closed side of your case what do you think will happen? the air will just stop in place and accumulate at high pressure there not going anywhere? or it will despawn because it hit a wall? no you nigger it will be redirected and move somewhere else and the air pressure will eventually flow out of the case somewhere, and the dust that gets picked up will flow out with it

>>109760271
>My pc is closed on the other side to keep in the cables in place
Only the fancy PC cases have that "feature".
>I can't take it out
Open the case from both sides.

UPDATE:

i just called the service center to ask them about the progress of the repair and they've said that they've had to replace the main board, which ended up being faulty so they've ordered a 3rd mainboard to fix it. the lady on the phone said that i'm pretty much getting an entirely new laptop with the amount that they've changed (panel, fan).

i have a hunch that with their initial diagnostic it didn't pick up anything but i sent them an email describing the issues and they may have ran a stress test overnight and it fried it. is this a reasonable guess? if not then what the hell has happened to it under their care?

>>109760703
forgot to mention that the laptop is under warranty and i plan on extending it until 2030 for £210 or so

>get a guaranteed service
service goes down... its only a legal guarantee and a way to make it some one else's problem. Soon as gov has a legal/insurance frame work to move shit to cloud they will. really i think all gov workers try to make the job take up as much time as possible. (i work in gov) also no one really knows wtf they are doing. you are generally punished with more responsibility and potential criminal liabilities. The less im in charge of the less likely im breaking any number of retarded laws or regulations.

I'm pretty retarded when it comes to electronics and phones, never really needed to know much nor did I care.
My iPhone 13 is starting to show battery loss and I figured i'd switch to a new one in the near future. I cant find another new 13 available anywhere besides a ''refurbished'' one.
I was looking at the google pixel + GrapheneOS option.
How bad is a pixel 10 pro vs a new pixel 11/11 pro? its currently half price here and I might just grab one, though I hate androids UI

>>109762094
Graphene doesn't support the 11 line yet: https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices
Apparently google cheaped out and removed some security hardware on the 11 line so it may not even get supported.
But also flagship phones have basically been nearly identical for at least 5 years by now. There is basically no downside to buying last year's model. There are very minor improvements to processor speed and shit, which do not matter in the least unless you're using your phone for "high end gaming" for some unfathomable reason. The camera is going to be slightly different (sometimes a bit better, sometimes not even), the design is going to be tweaked for no reason, maybe the screen is going to be 5% brighter, shit like this.
For the pixel line in particular, the normal, a, and Pro models usually basically only differ in screen type and cameras and are otherwise almost entirely identical.

So the tl;dr is buy the 10 without any worries, and even consider whether you want to buy the 10a unless you really care about camera quality (in which case sure the pro might be worth it).
