the "critical software update" is for the touchbar, whose firmware authors are evidently clowns from the circus about 50/50 on hitting that error with any given osx update

new pulseaudio out, this time with support for dolby truehd and dts-hd master audio! and even more important more fixes around avoid_resampling, guess that will bring down the cpu utilization even more https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/13.0/

finder is just really unintuitive for me on simple actions. if I didn't live in terminal and have access to great tools like fzf and ripgrep id probably be more inclined to learn the shortcut to show hidden files the hardware is by far the most frustrating thing with a current mbp. ive had two of them get insanely hot for no good reason and it reminds me of when I took apart my personal mbp and found the heatsink slathered in thermal paste. the fingerprint scanner works just enough to tempt you to keep trying for a minute the times it doesn't work. the keyboard is a legit problem and several keys double fire or don't fire. this is on a 3 month old laptop that ive taken care of. I'd be furious if it were my own money

I've just finished customizing my t440p. Got it used, bought Intel i7 4702QM, 1080p IPS panel, m.2 SSD, 16GB of RAM, and ANSI layout keyboard and of course T450 trackpad. Replaced everything I didn't like about machine I got used for 180e (it came with 256gb ssd but that's about it). Only thing that is left intact is battery which holds for 5 hours, not bad, but I intend to buy 9 cell one, if I find good genuine deal. I am quite happy with the machine I got. Previously I sold MacBook Pro 2015 13", which started to behave really bad because of loving retarded thermals, I assume thermal paste got worn off, that piece of aluminum of getting quite hot very easily lately. Now I have to say I am quite happy and I regret that I didn't do this a year ago. I dual boot Windows 10 and Linux (plain i3, xterm and emacs).

Athas posted:ROCM is not a replacement for CUDA, it's more like a driver and runtime API (but not kernel driver except in some cases!) that includes an OpenCL implementation. I think there was something called HCC, which was a portable CUDA-like. There's also HIP, which is a CUDA-to-HCC translator (although I heard that HCC by itself was deprecated so who knows). Finally (not really, there's always more), there is SYCL, which is somewhat like CUDA but for OpenCL, but which I think has only been implemented fully by Codeplay. It's a super confusing mess of acronyms. AMD isn't doing itself any favours here, and seems to be spreading its already scarce resources super thin. quote from way back, but re: cuda on amd HIPCL Lets CUDA Run On OpenCL+SPIR-V

How come those late 90s and early 2000s Linux desktops (like that KDE) wasted so much space, given that monitors and resolutions were smaller in those days? GNOME didn't have those garish window decorations IIRC, but it did have strangely huge desktop icons.

also screen real estate being at a premium meant that you spent more time interacting with the window manager chrome, so it made a perverse kind of sense for it to be more obtrusive
