Samsung Galaxy A55 Anonymous 04/24/2025 (Thu) 01:26:13 No. 20434 [Reply] >>20548 >>20563
I was given this phone, is it any good in 2025 or should I sell it?
>>20434 I use it, coming from an Xperia 5. I have no complaints other than how bulky it is, the Xperia felt much better in my hand and was lighter I think. Camera is decent, battery life is good, isn't slow for what I use it for and I've dropped it pretty hard on concrete a couple of times without a case, sometimes even screen side down and it only has some minor dings in the metal case, screens fine.
>>20434 It's no good, please give it to me

Hello /tech/nicians and /g/entoomen. Glad to see the surge in activity while 4chan is down, and I hope you are all enjoying your stay. My hands are mostly full trying to fix bugs and scale the site to meet the current demand. I could really use one or two volunteers to help keep an eye on the board and remove spam. If you're interested in helping out, please shoot an e-mail to codexx (at) cock (dot) li. Please include a brief summary of your history with 8/tech/ or 4/g/, and also include your favorite operating system and why you like it. Thank you!

The Regional Keyboard Problem Anonymous 01/26/2025 (Sun) 17:37:38 No. 17107 [Reply]
Most computer languages were made with standard American keyboards in mind, especially in regards to symbol choices. This goes for standard keyboard shortcuts in software too. For example, with the french AZERTY layout, the backslash and special brackets require you to twist your right hand to write them and you need different hands for opening and closing them. My question to you non Americans is: how do you deal with it? Do you use and memorize the American layout while your keycaps still have the regional layout? Do you import your keyboard or reorder your keycaps? Do you switch between layouts for coding and messaging? Do you rebind certain characters to certain key combinations? Or do you just twist your wrist and live with it? I'm really curious to hear your perspectives on this.

My keyboard has both layouts on it. Still, almost everything I do on the computer is done in English so I just use the American layout.
>>17212 this, just memorize the unicode combinations for each one and stop being a fag

>The PowerBook 5300 well earned the term "road apple" for being not only one of Apple's worst products ever but possibly one of the worst laptops ever. Between its crumbly "Spindler plastic" case, sluggish performance, battery faults, and numerous other hardware issues, it was symbolic of Apple's near-collapse during the mid-1990s when CEO Michael Spindler embarked on a frenzy of cost-cutting. Originally planned to use Sony lithium ion batteries, they were swapped for lower performance nickel hydride ones after two pre-production units caught fire. Four models were offered; a base model with a 640x480 grayscale screen, the mid-range models with either a passive or active matrix color 640x480 screen, and the flagship 5300ce which had an 800x600 screen, a 117Mhz CPU, 32MB of RAM, and a towering $6,800 price tag (lower 5300s had a 100Mhz CPU and 8 or 16MB standard RAM). Maximum supported RAM was 64MB. >Among other hardware faults, the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the computer was wrapped around the hinges and easily damaged. Apple also used several different vendors for the screens, all of which used different and incompatible cables, making it impossible to swap them except for the exact screen it was designed for. Scores of PowerBook 5300s were recalled to have screens, motherboards, and other hardware repaired or replaced, resulting in numerous unhappy customers. >It was one of the first production laptops to have hot-pluggable equipment bays to swap out storage devices and other peripherals. An internal CD-ROM drive was not offered to keep size down. The 5300 was sold for just short of one year, from August 25, 1995 to August 3, 1996.

Docker vs Podman Anonymous 04/23/2025 (Wed) 21:57:28 No. 20376 [Reply] >>20390
Which one does /g/ recommend? Podman is touted as the newest hot open source technology, and I was about to install it until I took a look at the devs and it was developed by Red Hat aka IBM aka Israel.
1 post omitted.
>>20376 I don't know Podman too much, so I'm open to learning more about it. I personally recommend Docker because the best way to deploy and play around with stuff is docker compose, which is officially supported fully, while podman-compose is a literal abandoned project by a random guy. Podman is compatible with Docker though, so if you want to switch later, you can do it. Also keep in mind that Docker != Docker Desktop. Docker is free software and it's the engine itself, while Docker Desktop is just a frontend for it, and it's non-free software. Though I think Podman is easier to install, so that's also a thing to consider, but if you're going to learn Docker, you should absolutely learn how to install it.
With docker I Frequently do things like bind mount / to my container, so podman as a container environment doesn't make any sense to me. Reducing the amount of things you can do for improved "security" doesn't mean much when I'm not using containers to be secure but rather as a way to ship reproducible environments. With podman, if I have a .tar with images in it and a docker compose file, how am I expected to update the host and restart myself without a host agent to drive the upgrade process?
Podman is a nicer citizen on my system. It doesn't shit up the place like the way docker does, fucking with my iptables rules and whatnot. Early on, the most attractive selling point for me was rootless containers. You can do that with docker now, but at this point I'll just stick with podman. I'm not a fan of Red Hat either, but sometimes they're the top dog in their niche. Podman werkz.

3D Printing Thread Anonymous 02/03/2024 (Sat) 15:11:23 No. 14541 [Reply]
General thread for 3D printing inquiries, questions, advicd, etc. I'll start by saying I'm in the market for a resin 3D printer. I've only got experience using epoxy printers. Does anyone have any recommendations for a make & model? General resin advice? Nobody I know personally has one.

Waifu picture didn't upload for some reason so I'll just dump a few while it's still relevant Also to clarify, wife is not waifu, wife is a real flesh and blood person
>>20352 Print it in parts and then piece them all together. It's gonna save you so much time and resources during print, prototyping, moving it when needed, will probably make drawing it easier too if you're gonna do that part yourself and allows for swapping parts to allow for different hair for different styles or facial expressions. >>20354 >wife is a real flesh and blood person Disgusting.
>>20362 I'm sure I could do this, but GIGANTIC 3d printer is the path we have set for ourselves, if we want a different expression I'm sure I could print another statue, and I'm planning to commission the model since it's beyond either me or wifes ability I'm sure printing in parts is more practical, but I've always been one to choose cool over practical

>>9371 Nah, running games is a way better experience in linux so long as you add offline games to steam, you can use the steam wine setup but it's slightly more annoying, everything runs way better than windows though, especially older games that windows doesn't really support anymore, but new games are fine too, I remember games where they update it weekly to try and break compatibility then steam cleans it up and makes it work the next day, forza horizon 4 was like that Realistically anyone who says windows is better for anything except cad at this point is either a shill or just retarded
>>9210 You can play Skyrim on ultra high settings with modern integrated cards, hardware acceleration is fine. The only usecase for games is being a degenerate, or alternatively if you're trying to bore an ex-gf into leaving (who refuses to, and you are too lazy for a restraining order).
