Durable mainstream laptops? Satori Komeiji 05/11/2025 (Sun) 17:34:35 No. 1291 [Reply]

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?

Satori Komeiji 05/11/2025 (Sun) 22:55:03 No. 1301

>>1300 Hardware lifespan is much higher than typical consumer-grade laptops if we're talking about refurbished business laptops. The laptop overall is sturdier and meant to last. Normally when you buy them second-hand it's safe to assume you might want to replace the SSD and battery, but when they are refurbished they might come with fresh ones. A quick way to suspect it's a business laptop is if the store refurbishing them only provides laptops from dell, hp and lenovo, and they all have intel cpus

Where do you discuss programming online? Anonymous 10/26/2023 (Thu) 22:00:01 No. 240 [Reply]

I just don't know what places are good anymore...

I used to be a regular on 4chan/g/ several years ago, but it's gone to shit so much that even I can't take it anymore and I haven't been able to figure out where else to discuss tech/programming online. Do you have any places where you go regularly? The only one that I use other than random subreddits for whichever topic is hackernews, but that place is just no fun at all

LLMs Hallucinate and make random shit up all of the time, if you try to ask one to write anything that's not in python (which nobody actually uses because it's terrible) or anything more complex than a leetcode problem (which most things are), it's going to spit out a bunch of random nonsense that it has no knowledge of. TLDR; 9/10 times, you have to spend more time debugging the AI code than you would have to spend if you just wrote it yourself

AI is definitely not anywhere near close to replacing real developers. It's most useful as a tool for digesting documentation that is bad, lacking or hard to navigate

SteamOS 3.0 Anonymous 02/11/2025 (Tue) 17:56:59 No. 1081 [Reply]

are any of you planning on trying SteamOS 3.0 once it gets an official release? Valve has been putting a lot of work in improving Linux usability so i'm very interested in seeing the viability of switching to Linux full-time once an official release drops. as an nvidia user, i'm especially interested in their in-house wayland compositor. i have a history of using Linux on other devices, particularly Linux Mint, but always end up going back to Windows on my main PC due to nuisances. doesn't help that i have an nvidia card. what about you? will you give it a try? are you interested in the project or do you not care?

>>1232 most of the hype is based around the fact that a well-respected and popular company in the gaming sphere is investing a lot of resources into a Linux distro and has a vested interest in it being streamlined and functional. i think the hype is that it could become the Linux Mint for gaymers, in the sense that it'll be the go-to Just Werks distro for them with the support and backing of Valve. it's the "year of the Linux desktop" meme but slightly less of a meme this time.

OpenGL, Vulkan and anything in between. Be it for animation, gamedev or just plain curiosity, if you're interested in graphics, shaders or engine development start talking.

For the past couple of months, I have been working on an engine that will allow me to make VNs. It will use Live2D for models and Ultralight for easy UI. Right now, I am graduating from OpenGL and learning how to use Vulkan with the engine. I question if it's worth it to just have Vulkan as the one graphics API the engine uses and translate to metal/direct3d or what is possible.

I would be concerned too if the license was not permissive, but it is.

>>1224 it is not "overtaking userspace", see the framework point, something that works with windows and systemd will work with systemfuture too (after support is added to the framework, and it is recompiled). Unironically, name a program that relies on systemd native libraries, has no up-to-par alternative that doesn't and can't be re-implemented or ported in a week
