V2 has place to solder hotswap adapters while V1 only lets you solder onto the board.

Anticolonial hero turned japanese colonial enforcer. Thats some fucked up baggage with your creation myth to go with.

Worst in these thoughts is that you never see clearly in the thick of life, only in the blissful decadent moments when you smoke some cigarette or take who knows what that will make your chronic stomach pain worse in the long run.

Since you are not telling me the issue I cant give you what might have went wrong. You might have learned from that.

One advice, nobody will like linux who painstakingly has to play catchup on the terminal on a pre-baked OS.

All the distros I ever cycled through, I always had issues with pre-baked systems. There are always these little things you expect that does not end up happening even if you sweat blood. Then you start looking and you find out that nobody ever had this and there is no documentation whatsoever.

The only antidote aganist that if you are in control and if it is documented. I only ever liked linux in the advanced form.

NTFS?! Yuck.

But like what was the issue?

What ended up being the issue?

How is NixOS going? I am also an Arch convert, but the issue with Gentoo is that it feels like a clusterfuck after days spent on configuration that is not easy to replicate. I mean it works but I might not want to go through it next time.

Weeelll not for long. Open kernel module works like a charm for me. Wayland support is now actively worked on and is already functional for the most part. HDMI 2.1 was always supported while AMD would not be able to. HDR and 10 bit support also dropped just now.

Of course they do. People today confuse most online arguments for people being knowlegable within their field with people being knowlegable on winning the same argument over and over.

That is why any debate over here is not to be taken seriously. Let the source hoarders have their fun, its not your game.

FYI: Zenfone 8 got 2 years of software support and they forcefully closed down the ability to root it almost right after support ended, even lying they will turn it back on to no avail.

I do not recommend anyone to choose an Asus as their next phone. Im ashamed I bought so much Asus PC parts since.

It means that literally nobody fucking wanted or asked for this, yet this quirky useless stuff exists.

 

I guess I want to see whether there are some advanced solutions so I can play movies and anime in 120fps 4K.

Is gamescope pretty much the only solution in case of games?

 

I am new to ergonomic and programmable keyboards, but something felt fun about making it as cheap as possible by doing 5 at once, and cheapinos at that. I spent quite a few hours on slimming down the cost and ended up spending roughly 35-40 bucks per board, switches and keycaps included. For this I have:

  • Magnetic USB-C cable
  • 360 rotatable RJ45 cable
  • Hotswap Cheapino V2 board that hopefully works
  • Spare PCB that can serve as bottom.
  • Of course it has rotary encoder as well.
  • ABT Green/Red Aliexpress sourced keycaps.
  • Either Gateron G Pro v3.0 Silver or Tecsee Purple Panda switches (very good budget switches based on reading)

For this, how much would you realistically ask for? Either max profit or your preferred cost.

What a story this guy has. Being a spy for multiple parties, finishing up as the claimant of being the Dalai Lamas reincarnation then dying under suspicious circumstances after writing Hitler to stop the holocaust.

The wiki page speaks for itself.

 

I am going to build probably a few keyboards (like 3) for people to gift to. Since 100% PCB is not as popular as ergo boards, Im having a hard time finding any.

Do you have any 100% PCB (aliexpress or gerbers for printing in a PCB service like jlcpcb) that you prefer?

My goal is to make it as cheap as possible.

Im planning my new config and one of the primary issue is that Im unsure whether 7950x3d is worth the hassle. If I went with 7950x, I would surely want to fiddle with overclocking.

As far as Im aware, 7950x3d can be overclocked, but only the one without the 3d cache. How reliable is this?

Also, I suspect that the TDP difference is a non-issue, as it is mostly just a limitation of the 7950x3d thermals rather than actually better power consumption.

Also the L3 cache is 64mb for the 7950x vs 128mb for 7950x3d. How much does that matter?

Things I want to do: gaming, software development, virtual machines, VR, AI related work. Im asking here since I mainly want to know about the status on linux.

Im not sure how it would fair as a regular workstation. Apparently the Ampere Altra is already being used for remote gaming workloads in China and it utilizes RTX 4090 for that.

https://www.ipi.wiki/products/com-hpc-ampere-altra?variant=43315757121698

It looks like a pretty solid value for 128 cores at 3000 bucks. Maybe even 32 cores for 2000. It is even competitive with M1/M2 macs and Epyc/threadripper.

 
 

You cant. They just shut down the server and removed the unlocker app from their site. Maybe, just maybe, they will release a "rewritten version" in the coming months according to some guy on xda who asked them.

This shit is the last asus product Im buying for a loong time if ever.

 

Launching a game means that the entire Steam Window fades and it will become entirely unusable until the game starts. That is not a separate startup window, thats just an embedded element inside the main one. If you accidentally click outside, the game startup gets canceled.

It is a bit more than mildly frustrating when Im waiting on the Vulkan shaders for BFV for like half an hour to process.

 

I have been waiting for this badboy to arrive. It is said to have 6mm planar drivers in it and it pretty much handles like an etymotic. Actually, that is the main reason I was instantly sold. You can even push em deep (but does not need it), has foam, double flange, special thingy to keep it in your ear. Easy to drive, very sensitive to EQ.

On the other hand, for most people it was kind of meh for several reasons. I dont know whether I jumped the gun on buying it. We will see.

The 3 main colabs I have seen are:

  • HBB: I still have no idea who this guy is, but he is shitting out colabs left and right all the time.
  • Crinacle: He is the least annoying colab guy and actually tries to preserve some kind of integrity.
  • Zeos: He is just plugging his own shit and kind of behaves like a crackhead. His personality is becoming less okay for how much he is promoting shit.

How do you see colabs? Are they useful at all? Is there a difference in quality and effort?

 

I have been looking at Fairphone and Volla, and it feels like the Smartphone scene for Linux is going very strong right now.

Think of it like this: We got 3-4 end-user ready Ubports smartphones, ~~made by IN Europe~~(Volla/Gigaset is), with recent hardware, swappable battery, very good service and repairability in various formats. You can even purchase Gigaset phones (commercial equivalents of Volla) in stores/Amazon for a very good price.

The immediate orbiters of Linux smartphones like Fxtec, Planet Computers and Jolla are also based here.

I think we reached the year of the Linux phones. Atleast it is not the niche it was in 2020. I wonder how usable ubports is. If you got any experience with these phpnes on ubports, feel free to share.
