I want to buy an mp3 player but I don't know which one is the best, so I'm asking you to help me choose one, please. I found this: https://www.amazon.fr/AGPTEK-Bluetooth-Enregistreur-Supporter-T%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone/dp/B0CKV9HDP2/ but I don't know if its true or false. xhat do you think of it?
Modern consumer-grade laptops tend to have durability issues, while business-class laptops tend to be highly durable but refurbished ones are a few generations behind. There's also smaller companies like Tuxedo, Slimbook, System76, etc that seem to make durable laptops as well.
At this point, is there any mainstream consumer-grade laptop that is actually durable, or are we now limited to business and Linux laptops? 
>>1395 It's not advertisement, I just want people to know about durable laptop alternatives to refurbished laptops
>>1396
slimbook site looks like shit. Frameworks' site is at least tolerable
also why do you compare refurbished to brand new
>>1397 I didnt elaborate I meant to compare business laptop durability and repairability with slimbook's since usually we get refurbished business laptops when we want one of that type
>>1291 I'm personally a fan of my Dell Latitude 5420. I paid 400 USD for 512GB of NVME Storage, Fingerprint reader, 16GB Ram, built-in wifi, pretty good repairability, plus a fuckton of I/O
Any Gentoo Friends on this board? If so tell me what you love or hate about it. What USE flags do you use? In the meanwhile I will post some of my favorite Gentoo Desktops!!
Been a Gentoo user since 2006-ish, right around when I was graduating HS. First Gentoo box was a hand-me-down Gateway PC with a 500mhz Katami PIII and a Voodoo3 GPU. It was such a POS PC. Current computer is the fast fetch on the small screen. The other one is my home server, which is my old computer. Yes I am a furry. Yes I will "yiff in hell". Small screen is my WinMax 2 2023's display, upper monitor is a 2560x1080p curved viotek, lower monitor is a 2560x1080p curved acer. There is a 4th monitor, that is an old panasonic CRT TV, but it isn't hooked up right now. Image spoiler'd because it is technically NSFW, but in my opinion my wallpapers are artistically tasteful.

Since we're on the subject, I've read somewhere that the guy who got in was worming inside for about a year, before nuking the site and doxing the mods. Does anyone know if this is true?
>>1181 he claimed it on sjak party. but no proof i wish he somehow got the whole DB. i want to see my bans from back in the day
>>1182 >the whole DB He said he wouldn't leak anything about the users I have seen some ban summaries be posted though?

How does your desktop look like /t/? How ricy is it? 
>>1284 You're using the development branch as a daily driver?
>>1378 Development branch is the testing branch, edge itself is just the rolling release repository. It's extremely stable, the only issue I ever had was gimp being recognised as updated when it was still on version 2, I just had to reinstall it to properly have version 3. Other than that I never had any problem
>>1353
thanks 
the 11 hours I get is after applying all those optimisations you suggested but as
>>1355
Says, enabling amd_pstate driver did yeild better results by utilising the newer hardware powersaving features of my CPU . But I think this applies to my specific machine as opposed to something that would work with a ThinkPad . 
Using 'indicator cpufreq' to cap the max CPU clock to 500mhz while doing light tasks like reading PDFs also boosts the battery tremendously and make the laptop be comfy enough to used on the lap without getting 3rd degree burns 
I was basically trying to see if I can outlast MacBooks of my colleagues and not have to carry the 2 kilo brick of a charger 
ROGs come with

Lol what I have 48w charger and it's super light. Another is 65w and it's barely a kilo.
What's your favorite programming language /t/?
>>665 >takes file pointer >uses imaginary filesystem argument with the pointer as an index what did this genius mean by that?
Java is my primary language after trying multiple languages over the years. For a long while I was crazy into functional programming but then the inability or extreme inconveniene to write traditional for loops, early returns, breaks, continues and responsible mutations hindered my productivity, my program's performance and I would have to write a lot of recursive and conditional boilerplate. Java is pretty underrated and usually blamed for things that it does not cause. A lot of the boilerplate and OOP mess people complain about comes not from Java itself but from the Java developer mentality in the industry.
inspired by: https://www.lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/73638.html Let's make our own webring Hikari3! How to participate? Post the following: * Link to your homepage * 240x60 .gif banner for your webpage Each anon will can then advertise other anon's sites on their homepage with their banner and a clickable link! I will also keep a directory of everyone's link on my site: https://unreadable.info (picrelated is the banner btw)
>>1294 I don't have anything interesting to post on it though, other than pirated ebooks.
>>1295 make a site dedicated to teaching people about torrenting or something. just something bro. make a neocities.
i am making a personal site on neocities as a project to learn html and css, but i do not knopw very much at all and it is far from complete. maybe when it's closer to completion i'd consider adding it to a webring.
I've followed the LC ring threads for yeaaars but never posted any site I made because they're all smart nerds posting blogs about the same tech stuff I don't understand 
plus thats kind of their theme.
if more h3 sites are posted I might join too, since people here are less intimidating 
but I also buy new domains every year when I think of something new, so maybe I wait 
Discuss mechanical keyboards Topre = endgame edition
>>1341 I know there's some SGI boards that use their own protocol or whatever but mine's a 9500829 that just uses PS/2, I don't actually have anything to plug it into, though... My PC motherboard doesn't have a PS/2 port sadly, I convert my vintage keyboards to USB with Pro Micros or get custom PCBs made for them. The Model M is a good board, enjoy it! I assume you meant to say rubber dome (Quiet Touch) instead of membrane because all Model Ms use a membrane for sensing, even the buckling spring ones. I own a few Model Ms myself, but I prefer my Model Fs since the springs are a bit lighter and the bottom-out is firmer. I actually "cushionless modded" one of my Ms and I think it feels much nicer, though I wouldn't recommend it for most people since it took ages and there's a possibility of breaking stuff, also changes the sound a lot which you may not like.
>>1342
oh ok so that's why they fried. personally i use a cheap ps/2 to usb converter for now because i suck ass at soldering btw a couple of years have passed since i researched into it before buying (forgot all the terminologies) but yes i was talking about later variants using rubber dome
>though I wouldn't recommend it for most people since it took ages and there's a possibility of breaking stuff, also changes the sound a lot which you may not like.
yeah just for the rarity of these things where i live (not US) i'm even scared to just clean it up.
by the way, do you know if the springs eventually break and if there's a way to change them (how?)
>>1344 I don't live in the US either, so I know how it is, it took me a while to build up the collection I have. Those who search long and hard enough are rewarded... No, buckling springs don't go bad on their own as long as you don't mess with them, and Yes, there is a way to replace them using a toothpick or something I believe, you don't need to if they all work fine though so don't worry about it. What you *might* have to worry about is that the Model M keyboard assembly is held together using melted plastic rivets that eventually break off over time and cause the keyboard to not feel/sound good anymore or even not function properly. This can be remedied by replacing the rivets that break off with screws and washers as illustrated in pic related. Your Model M might be in good enough condition that it doesn't need it, though. Give it a gentle shake to hear if there are any small plastic parts rattling around inside, that would likely be broken-off rivets.
>>1345 thank you, saved! i'm going to look it up this summer when i have to clean it a little ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ
>>1346 Here's the hardware you need for it, M2x8 Self-Tapping Screws (Countersunk) and M2.5 or M3 Washers (6mm or 7mm Outer Diameter), you will need 60 of both to fully screw mod a fullsize Model M, but I recommend only replacing rivets that have broken off and leaving those that are still intact alone. Make sure you have a 5.5mm nut driver to actually open your Model M up, as well. Screw mod isn't to be confused with bolt mod, which is an older mod that accomplishes the same thing, but is more intensive and finicky.
What was your first Linux distro? Over a decade ago, on my shitty vista laptop, I flashed Gentoo on to it, because people said it was best to start with in a chatroom I was in... I ended up figuring it out somehow though.
how do you find people to program with?
>>1319 If you've never had a cs job it's ok to just say that
>>1320 I have not D: Are you more productive programming with others? Doubt it.
>>1321 100%. If you're not, you're just doing it wrong or thinking about it the wrong way
>>1317 If it's work, you just work with people and that's it. Personal projects? You will likely make all of them by yourself, mostly because it's not easy to have visibility on the internet just like that. You can try to contribute to already-existing open-source projects, but it's much easier idea-wise and motivation-wise to work on your own stuff rather than learning someone else's codebase and then figure out and idea of what could be changed that you can implement.
i fondle myself 3 times a day wanna me fondle you as well?
