I’m already upset that M$ basically killed off every cool Surface to focus on the Copilot shit. What’s fancy new hardware gonna do? Make it easier for them to spy on me while I use their mediocre, most-profitable computers?
can someone explain this? i think the 25.0528 means the date? 25th of august 2028. but what does 121.5990 mean?
Sorry but why August? August is the eighth month not the fifth at least in my calendar
We joke about communism and the one toothbrush, but capitalists are literally doing the one computer
If this shit carries on you’ll have one car manufacturer, one shop, one energy supplier. I’ve ran out of steam there, but you get the point.
And one people, one state, one leader.
one shop
They’ve mostly succeeded in doing that already with amazon.
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
Oh hey, surprise! It was projection, again!
<- AMD config with Linux^ Good things liker
Love being in this smug club.
Your pc is now just cloud. You no longer have pc. You rent in cloud. Now. No awful responsibility of owning! All just cloud. Yay. AI built in, do your think for you. This is good. Cloud. AI. Get now.
The mainframe is back, now with shit
No PC, Only Cloud!
you will own nothing and like it
you will own nothing and like it
This is saying it’s probably ARM-based nvidia CPUs.
RISC V where are you
Isn’t there a Chinese company producing the chips even though the spec wasn’t fully complete or something? i thought it read something like that a number of months ago
Something like that. Most of it’s over my head
The ISA was published 11 years ago and many companies have been shipping hardware for years now; you can even get a RISC-V mainboard for a Framework laptop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V#End-user_hardware
Unfortunately the performance is more comparable to a raspberry pi than a modern x86 PC; the faster ones are still coming soon.
You can follow RISC-V developments here on lemmy at !riscv@lemmy.ml btw
hey, that’s good info, thank you
I would like to add that “faster ones” did exist but were really really limited edition. And also full of backdoors making them not feasible to host a pubnix on. Was reading 9front IRC logs out of boredom once and someone mentioned a maintainer being given a server of sorts then someone replied “ah yes, Plan 9 on unobtanium v”.

misread this image as “your penis” like 3 times… technically the truth
Microslop and Nshidia are working together to finally kill PC gaming. Maybe even consoles!
Why would you want windows running con arm? I guess it would be a highly optimized version without all the bloatware?
arm has changed a lot since the cheap snapdragon days. they don’t even make amd64 macbooks anymore
they’ve been trying to make windows con arm a thing for 15 years now
Highly optimised spyware.
ARM is cool and fine. Things can be shitty on any architecture
When I was young and just getting into the internet and computer gaming I thought “wow like 20-30 years from now will be amazing”, lol nope
When y’all are so out of ideas your new idea is selling computing as a utility/service
Enshitiffication is too nice of a word, too fancy, too classy and eloquent of a word
This is just lazy horse shit
It’s not even a process of making it shit slowly like a frog being cooked alive by gradually making the temperature hot
Now it’s just the bottom falling out
The lack of any decent idea has become an accomplishment
Making things worse is progress now
Shareholders who don’t even understand fuck all about functionality, security or contextual use awareness are now steering the collective ship of consumer technology into some kind of shit dimension
An asteroid belt of sheer bullshit, horse shit and God knows what other kinds of shit
The shit stank is monumental and I can’t even plug my nose to try to ignore it anymore
I don’t wanna become Amish but I also don’t want to exist in a world with not only this kind of insulting cash grabbing technology whoding nonsense but so many other ridiculous unnecessarily wasteful ills and evils that it makes me head want to explode
I still can’t believe they put ads on default Microsoft MinesweeperTM. And apparently that started 10 years ago
Microsoft Adsweeper: When you hit a mine it buys $50 worth of random junk on Amazon
The one solace I have is that the people who are 100% in on this are also the people who were 100% in on the metaverse and that was always obvious to me that it was going to fail.
I do believe this is all going to fail. They’ve worked harder to propagandise me into uncertainty about that with the collective delusion they’re trying to enforce but I still believe it will all fail.
Im too lazy to find it but someone posted a cartoon from the 80s where that really horny Crumb guy drew a line of people queued up for the IBM Thinking Machine and it said “the future that’s coming” and it was basically them doing this
???
Trusst the plan
Nangang district has a high concentration of tech companies. it’s also where the biggest convention center on the island is. Computex is happening next week.
Edit: though this is way down the road from the tech office area and the convention center, a completely different place. so ???
Probably going to announce at some big convention at the music center there.
with the US military distracted by iran and cuba, china has a chance to do something cool
they never do or will. Things are going good for them. So they have zero reason to whip their dicks out and start rocking the boat.
Yeah Microshit and Nvidia, together, can come up with what could only be an absolute abomination of a plan.
Call this number to talk to your AI computer, no hardware needed. We all have computer now. One computer.
Press 1 to save. Say ‘concatenate’ to concatenate A1 to Z31
Im just going to never upgrade my computer. Hardware OR o/s. I’m gonna have such old shit running that hackers and malware won’t know what the fuck
This is why the game I’m making runs on Godot’s “compatability” renderer. If you can’t run at 60fps on a decade old business laptop you’re not future proofed!
I only have laptops and mine is asking for a change but I want to buy somethinh that will last forever like supposedly Thinkpads do but those are hella expensive right now
Look into Framework laptops if you haven’t. Basically everything is replaceable/upgradeable, even the main board.
But yeah, if you’re looking for a good inexpensive laptop, I would go with the T480 as another commenter suggested. They’re a bit dated, but they’re very repairable machine. Buy one with a good amount of RAM. Throw an SSD in it and install something like Linux Mint or Pop!_OS and you’re good to go.
Tbh i’d never invest in a laptop but i have no interest in having a Good Computer that’s also mobile. PCs are for gaming and shit, my phone does all the carrying around the internet i need
but in the context of my needs the modularity of PCs means they effectively last forever if you’re just replacing stuff that breaks, computer of theseus y’know. But maybe laptops have gotten easier to work on idk (doubtful though)
I would love to but I have to take my work PC to places
I guess if you need it to be beefy to do work that makes sense, but if you just need something mobile i still wouldn’t spring for something expensive but that’s just me
I don’t have beefy needs (computerwise) but this one I bought shat the bed way too early despite I treated it like cristal so I’m pissed and I want one that won’t betray me like this
Used T450-480 can still be found for fairly cheap on ebay, although it may be somewhat location dependent now that shipping is fucked.
They’ve traditionally been a great value proposition because they’re sold en masse to corporations that upgrade every year and offload the old ones, so there’s an oversupply of lightly-used enterprise laptops. I’d never buy a thinkpad new and I’d never buy any of their consumer models.
I got a Latitude 7400 for like 200$ a year or so ago. They’re pretty good if you throw linux on them and just want to do web browsing and basic office tasks. Built like tanks. Have a shitty little fan that whines like crazy but i just locked it to 2.5Ghz and the fan never runs.
I can’t wait to watch it out of morbid curiosity from my Debian machine. Don’t use windows at all anymore so now it’s kind of like watching those videos on youtube where people make stupid mistakes while driving and the dash cam catches it.
