And as much as I'd like to go full e-ink reading for my mangos, I just can't see it happening anytime soon

Those things run on potato CPU so any kind of image transformation is gonna be sluggish

And high DPI / big screen are way too expensive for that

I can do without color, though it would be a plus

But all those problems have been there since... well the first kindle

And I don't see those being fixed anytime soon

i think its doable imo
wouldnt mind too much
anyway i dont like LCD much because eye fatigue, sure we have blue light filters but i always prefer e-ink
also battery life is a big deal

It's doable but it's not done, it's been technically feasible for years but nobody do that

And idk why

There's a market for that

Not a big one, yeah, but there's one

And battery life isn't that much of a big deal honestly

redpill me on e-reader autism

Sure, current e ink device can boast a week long autonomy

I want to read books but LCDs are too fatiguing

But if they slashed it to like even a few days, I'd be fine with that

If they put an actual decent CPU

Do you read books?

Not autistic stuff like mangas/manwha/comics

Like actual books

Yeah

In that case, buy an e-ink device

Don't waste 100+ whatever your currency is on it

Entry level kindle is usually fine if you can handle being part of Jeff's botnet

Some of them are hackable but iirc not all of them

idk what's the state of the kobo's market so I won't dwelve too much into it

I ideally want a Kindle as I have Amazon Prime

I bought a Lux because I'm a hipster, it's great because it supports a wide range of file formats and can be customized with non-existent apps because nobody cares about it

Yeah well go for it then

It's good shit

You can usually find good deals on second hand ones

Just bear in mind that e-ink means no compulsory backlighting

Some entry level got no backlighting, meaning it's just like a book, you can't read it in the dark

(without external LÄMP)

Though some of them can be fitted with led lighting

(in cases)

Kindle being one of the most popular e-ink devices you can pretty much find anything to customize it

Sticker ~~for added faggotery~~, cases, protections and such

And the older ones at least (dunno about the last gens) are very easy to service in case you're very clumsy

when will our chink friends save us

with quality cheap SSDs

as long as they save money

well their entire new line of jets are grounded

and their new jet crashed

thanks to cheap indian programmers

so they did save money

tbh

$9 aint cheap

shouldve hired ukrainians

they'd work for 6-7$

heck, i'm making $7, and, uh, safety critical software

Ukranians actually deliver solid work

don't brag about making shit pay for a trained profession, if you can call programming that

that's the reality of work outside western world

the issue is not the pay

the issue is ~~indians~~ not verifying outsourced code

trust, but verify

🤔 so thats why my friends audit code all day 🤔 really makes me want to shit on the street and learn java at 2999 rupee class

thanks india

>google freelance programming work

>90% indian

freelancing isnt wage

Its basically being a prossy

@spaqin
>Ukrainian programmers

implying that indians are better

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/95-engineers-in-india-unfit-for-software-development-jobs-study/article9652211.ece

I'd say so honestly
Ukrainians barely have computers lul

4.77% produced compilable code

there's a reason why indians do development dirt cheap

I hate indians so much

i mean fizzbuzz is still a very relevant filter in america at least

I applied to a remote job for the muricans

They claim only 3% make it through the process

On technical interview I was given such simple tasks that I can't believe how could anyone fail that

Not fizzbuzz, but incredibly simple algorithmic exercises

amd cherrypicking silicon lottery cpus for benchmarking? :(

or just pretesting to check if everything works fine 🤔

For pretesting, I would think they'd use reusable thermal pads, not paste that leaves a residue

Definitely cherrypicking imo

i mean sending reviewers dead cpu or not QC one is quite bit worse than cherrypicking

so OFC the fucking reviewer chips go tru extra Quality Control ?

Yeah. Like with restaurants, the chefs KNOW when a food critic is there, or if the health inspector is doing a walk through. They have to know they're getting the best possible experience

Anyone here a Linux wizard?

I have to reconstruct a raid array from a system with a broken install ssd. I use a live distro to inspect the server.

Is it possible that a software raid exists on a set of hard drives if mdadm cannot detect Superblocks? Could that also be a permissions issue?

cloudflare down again, along with every website behind it

china gone full damage control ?

that looks pretty average

fucking clodflare

Hoes mad

why does cloudflare's status page use cloudflare

it doesn't?

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

it uses atlassian statuspage

it was

no

it never was

then why did I get a 502 error when attempting to access it earlier

because you probably tried going to cloudflare.com instead of cloudflarestatus.com

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/cdn-cgi/trace

if it was behind cloudflare

this page would return debug info

like this

https://discordapp.com/cdn-cgi/trace

maybe it was just a random unrelated 502 then

higher ppi and longer battery life'

if it's 250$ or under, would buy desu

$199 I think

not a nintendo guy myself, just crossposting from another discord Im in

still pretty nice

now i'll just hope it will be easy to jailbreak

or homebrew

Oh boy, an even MORE handlet version of the switch

Dedicated console version WHEN

doesn't it just run on a normal nvidia tegra chip

Yeah, but I'm just saying. Cut out the screen and gimmick controllers and you could have a really decently priced switch for people who aren't about carrying a $400 tablet with them Wherever They go so they can BingBing Wahoo in public

Literally the only time I've played my switch in handheld mode was
-the day I got it

tbh if i were to get one and it had jailbreak it would more be used while traveling long distance via train (given battery can last more than few hours)

yup

but for home use ? meh .. nor i have friends who own said Piece of shit so

im getting one with links awakening

now hope this swede store dosent fuck me over with the pre-order

There was rumoured about an updated switch getting released this year also

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/07/raspberry-pi-4-uses-incorrect-usb-c-design-wont-work-with-some-chargers/

tldr: some "smart" chargers regonise the pi as audio adapter and wotn charge them due single resistor on 2 cc pins isntead of 1 per each

after note you need "smart" charger AND a fucking E-tier cable to get the bug out

Also will be fixed in next rev

i'll never understand why engineers feel the need to do this

if there's a reference design in a datasheet i'm sure as hell yeeting it

if it works with whats on your desk why wouldnt it work on every conceivable combination of chargers and cables? surely usb c isnt a giant unlabeled mess

im being sarcastic about what might have happened

they like to pull that shit with videogames. sometimes theyll be awful on only amd or require specifically the latest i7 and nvidia meme to get over 60 fps and have to be eventually patched to fix it

no matter how professional someone is, sometimes they goof up

and sometimes enough people goof up in a row for the goofs to reach the consumer

usb c for consumers is a pretty big clusterfuck yes

but for people making the device, no

i don't really see the parallel with videogames

completely different thing

god bless terry

he was too pure for this world

So they can't fix the pi 4 with a bios firmware or something? Lol

its due hardware so no

basicly "smart chargers + smart cable" thinks its audio device if it does not have 2 resistor but only 1 shared resistor

and as raspbi for some reason or other used 1 shared resistor the "smart" chargers regonize it wrong

and shit the bed

it does not matter to any normal charger or etc system

just for the smart chargers

so if you happen to use "smart"charger and/or type-e "smart" usb-c cable it wont work properly ??

Type-e = Electronical Marking/Electronicaly Marked cable what has microship,resistors and larger price tag

what generaly are used only for devices what specialy require some power-modes

standard probly says something about amp-limits or "gen 1 compatitly" bullshit too what considers "EMCA" circuitry etc

people smarter than me can correct me if i have misunderstood any part of that

how does amd fare in the mobile cpu market?

upcoming laptop stuff is not yet in market .. few ryzen desktop replacement laptops aand thats about it

then there are those 2500u/3700U and their brethen what are tolerable but nothing to write home about really

so i5-i7 still dominate right

depends what you need

but usualy its safer bet unless you know your usecase accurately (aka needs those cores/support whatever

my non tech friend asked me and i dont follow laptop tech so i had to ask just in case

but i remember intel being forever dominant in laptops

considering they need to ask.. its what ever they find for smart price for them :P

but support wise its always nice to show need for non-intel laptop chips too

if amd does same for battery time what they did to cores (historicaly speaking this is unlikely unless they really get the market support for it).. aww yes for laptop world

god damn some of these scammy deals

supposedly price from 1000 E down to 600ish

when same specs other laptops start at 600

yeah comparison and window shopping really helps with laptops

specialy comparison sites where you can just throw wanted specs and it pukes out most if not all avaible models for that shit

"ram from 8gb up" "cpu up from 8 threads and 2.5ghz" "battery from 9-cell etc etc

in hindsigth if i were smarter back when i got my last laptop it would be completly different spec wise

more focus on uptime than anything else

sure its pretty comfy to be able to work and play normal games and heavier emulators

is this even legal

to do

but battery wise its PITA

i remember some regulation about fake prices

the site doesnt even list battery specs...

🤣

the only battery related thing it says is that nvme ssd draws less power

if it uses the normal 15z battery then its 41Wh battery

where they cost 120~ish when you find good deal

2800 mAh / 41 Wh 14.8V

4 cell

68 wh

notbad

4 cell

how the fuck

larger than normal ? O.o

even notebookcheck states its 41wh battery tho they say its 3-cell

O.o

who knows .. tho notebookcheck has made similar errors before
