that was basically my chain of purchase as well. I knew way in advance of bambus shady history. Elegoo came in with a fairly affordable option that doesnt constantly shit itself as some of the printers of yesteryears (not saying its 0 though, you can find cases of it all the time)

its under tollerate level because they dont mandate i have to use elegoo slicer (free to use orcaslicer), and so far at least allows for open source firmwares to exist.

a lot of you consider facebook + whatsapp + instagram usage covers a large chunk of thr western sphere

the person didn’t ask for qualcomm/mediatek/nvidia/endless based arm chips, he specifically asked for the new macbook(implied neo) running linux soon because the term “it” was used to refer to it. Arm can already run linux, which would be redundant question to ask.

given the pace of asahi Linux on m series macbooks youre going to be waiting for a few years

im aware of certain companies as well behind the scenes doubling down on ai workload very recently as well, so China definitely isnt alone on that front.

thats like trying to swallow an entire hotdog. you dont “accidently” swallow that in a meal unless you were eating in a stupid way (looking up and dropping food down your throat like youre swallowing swords)

I went to go look it up for my old setup, turns out its mainly for the older models, as the codecs are only supported on the newer revisions of the shield tv.

though with the shield tv, one of the missing things that would be nice to have would be AV1 support (as Nvidia only supported AV1 starting with Ampere based gpus)

its still very capable, but best depends. iirc there are certain audio formats the shield doesnt support.

i personally would love a new shield using ~switch 2 soc just so i can move emulation/lower end pc onto it.

to the people who read stuff on /c/technology, likely not.

i was the same on my end, and my current phone even has a 3.5 jack (zenfone 9). i used to have aeveral wired headphones ive lost over the years.

in like 2019, i got airpod pros for functionally free, never lost them yet. then had pro gen 2 and havent lost them yet. (again functionally free in my case)

oldest phone was pixel 6, basically when google switched to tensor and added the hardware and software requirements needed for graphene team to support it.

thats the path of fast food chains now. get popular by being good, expand quickly, sell to private equity. Jersey mikes went PE early 2025. Daves hot chicken also went PE last year so expect it to go down the shitter soon if it hasn’t already.

librem 5? pine phone?

just dont expect either to be very performant or popular

not the poster but gen 1 framework 13s has a cmos battery issue that when fully depleted, the laptop will not boot from off state because of how the recharge circuit was wired to the battery.

so if your laptop was in sleep for an extremely extended period of time, you wouldnt be able to turn it on without either replacing the cmos battery or soldering a single wire to fix it.

as a person who uses a framework 16, and deals with returned lease laptops as a job, people are overstating how “durable” thinkpads are.

of course image of course is a joke, but thinkpads advatage isnt necessarily durability, but how cheap replacement parts are because of how many are leased and eventually returned.

frameworks friction is cost and availability, but strength is ease of repair. lenovos is part availability and cost.

the mistake was assuming the upper limit ended at 100

its because people dont know what they want. Linux has the problem that people want different things, ao theres dozens of distros to choose from.

windows is an example of giving little choice, so people begrudgingly “upgrades” because they ultimately dont really know what they want.

tldr, linux can be choice paralysis. single os is like being forced to drink soylent and only soylent, its got what you need but you might not like it.

i actually did this like 2 days ago and the guy agreed to at least try it out. people just need to talk about it and be honest about what is good/bad about the current state

but you dont know the values to which they are to br able to ask a question involving it which is the point. youre put in a situation where you dont know everything. there are things you assume the question giver assumes else questions are never answerable. they arent given to you as a gotcha situation, especially in the context as a programming question.

you get to the point where no question can ever be asaked to you because you believe in the manipulation of the question over to the point that you’re intentionally looking for ways to break the question rather than assuming you and the question giver has the same assumption given the question circumstance.

If you go out and look for dumb things like that, there is basically no question in the universe thats answerable.

Do you question if gravity and friction exist if someone asks you how fast something is moving? and what values they are?
