@coolboymew @birdulon @lanodan @ocean @skylar I get the point of the OS for schools, reduce complexity to the bare minimum and you get rid of most of the technical problems that teachers don't have time or knowledge to deal with. But it's such a waste that so many purposely gimped, low-end machines get built and tossed while companies struggle with what to do with much more powerful mid-range/high-end business computers they're replacing. I understand there's reasons why schools might be reluctant to source used/refurbished computers like this unless they're able to get all the same model of computer for everyone, but still. -

@cell @lain @Moon For me it's been the most effective, at least. -

@Moon I went on some decent dates (ie: the girls were normal) with dating sites/apps without putting in an inordinate amount of effort (or paying money to apps; the sites I did pay for were ones that were up-front about being paid sites). I would probably been decently successful if I had had better in-person small talk/normie conversation skills back then, and kept focused instead of just getting on these sites out of boredom and loneliness, get a date and then stop looking. And as you know I'm not a gigachad by any means. Most of the time it just came down to showing you read the profile and not just reacted to the picture, finding the balance between the guy who just sends "yo, u wan sum fuk?" to every girl and the one obsessively crafting a message while in his head already thinking of the names they will give to their kids. Maybe things have changed since I've been out of the market, tho, I don't know. -

@coolboymew @skylar @birdulon @lanodan @ocean I wish there was a way to just get these into the hands of kids instead of the Chromebooks schools are making them buy. -

The best deal in refurbished computers is those Lenovo tiny form factor ThinkCenters on Amazon. They're super cheap (they were absurdly popular, pay attention how many doctors offices, receptionists desks, etc... tuck away one of these behind a monitor), and you get quite a decent amount of computer for that price. I run servers virtualized on just one of them (though I'm thinking of adding another one). -

@lanodan @ocean @coolboymew @skylar I've worked for 12 years in a company that supplied exclusively laptops for work and they've been fine, until management insisted they wanted ultrabooks. Ultrabooks are not meant for the rigors of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week usage, their tiny fans have to spin extra fast to compensate for the quick heat build up in their small cases and the bearings wear out, the hinges are smaller and weaker and they're extra annoying to service for tasks that in-house IT used to be able to do quickly. Oh and the batteries are smaller and as such their capacity drops to inadequate levels faster. Ultrabooks are fine for personal computers, they're just not work machines; just like you wouldn't bring a sports car to haul cargo.
Current job's asked me when hiring me what laptop I wanted, I asked an HP Elitebook 840 G9. Thing's been stable and reliable so far. -

@mischievoustomato @lanodan @ocean @coolboymew @skylar Resolution on some Zenbooks makes no sense tho. Mine's got a 2880x1800 13-inch screen, I think Macbook Air 13 are not far from this too. If it weren't for the fact that UI scaling is now thankfully standard almost everywhere it would make interfaces unusably small, and I usually have to cut games' resolution in a full half for the hardware to cope (though render scale is thankfully also becoming standard and helping a lot here too). -

@why I wanna sell mine, come pick it up. It's a cute PVM-1340 like this one, it's got RGB input. -

@why I was mostly joking; that's the problem; it weighs over 40 pounds, shipping would be a significant fraction of the price of the monitor. UPS is quoting me 200$CAD. It's probably only worth selling to someone who's gonna pick it up by car. -

This is @Mitsu when Apple decides now to sell an iPhone in her favorite shade of pink and she will have to chose her next phone soon. -

@lain I think it was probably the better choice of the two. My personal choice is "a 13 inch laptop with a good video chip". Early this year Mitsu and I got ASUS laptops with AMD 6800U CPUs and those things can game surprisingly hard and aren't much bigger than a handheld. -

I guess I'm now running the third Gradio-rseman of the AI-pocalypse.

@lain There's a few different models offered, I've been using the sai ones for depth and canny, but I've yet to try openpose on SDXL -
