Welcome to zzz/tech/
Rules
0. All global rules apply: https://zzzchan.xyz/rules.html
1. /tech/ is a primarily SFW board. NSFW is only allowed if spoilered.
2. Keep the topics related to technology and computing.
3. When making a thread, put some effort into the OP. Low quality threads and template threads will be bumplocked. Some low quality threads that have already been bumplocked can be deleted if too much fills up the catalog.
4. For the QTDDTOT thread and the meta-thread, there can be only one unless the reply limit has been reached. If the previous thread is at the reply limit, anyone can recreate those threads. Thread quality rules do not apply to these threads.
5. Low quality shitposting will be met with DELetion or all files in the post being unlinked (frogposting, wojaks, >he doesn't use [insert thing here], Reddit logo spam, etc.). Otherwise, shitposting is allowed but try not to derail threads.

Posting recommendations
1. Try keeping most of your tech support questions, software recommendations, consumer advice, and other questions that don't deserve threads in the QTDDTOT thread. If there is a specific thread for your question, try asking there instead for a faster response.
2. Try not to ask questions that can be found on any search engines. You will most likely be told to search more and not receive an answer.

It'd odd how there doesn't seem to be a thread for them here, despite them being the most common technology in the world for many years now, that people can't seem to live without, it's a necessity nowadays.

What smartphones do you use, /tech/ anons?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy A25 as a birthday gift from my sister, it's the 1st time I've used one with 8GB RAM and a 120Hz refresh rate and I have to say, I thought people were dramatic over refresh rates for no reason, that it wasn't a big deal, but damn! I love just how smooth it is now, can't see myself going back to a 60Hz or even 90Hz screen after this one. It's also got a headphone jack and micro SD slot, rare today.

I can't believe we're losing another good resource for downloading our stuff, it's a sad time to enjoy technology, the internet's sucking harder and harder the older I get, and I don't see it getting much better in the future, heck, I think it'll get even worse considering it seems to be the track record. I still miss Emuparadise, The Eye, so many decent places in the past, even the IA is way worse nowadays.

Why do good /tech/ things always have to end so soon?

I think this is big enough deal to merit pulling it out of the 'news' page into its own thread. If you don't know what's going on, a bunch of states have pulled a fast one on us and are trying to/have passed age verification laws in various states in the U.S. on the operating system level.
- Lunduke's Journal has been having a spree providing updates on it ( lunduke.substack.com )
- I made my own page to try to keep track on what you can do. Please think about sharing it (or something): https://websitereview.neocities.org/ageverification
- Reclaim the Net has a campaign trying to counter it https://reclaimthenet.org/age-verification
- The EFF has a campaign https://www.eff.org/issues/age-verification .
I've included some minor links suggested by >>18007 and >>18008 . Please keep in mind I'm a moron and don't know what I'm doing, but felt something should be done here. Please share your own sites, updates, and thoughts on the situation.

Economists will still be like "Tarriffs are bad" after reading shit like this. Like bro, just let the tech companies pay tariffs or an offshore tax or smth instead of doing this regulatory guessing game bullshit. At least the country gets revenue out of it, and there's some amount of transparency, honesty, and decency about it; and the host country also doesn't have to pay for an army of regulators and enforcement.
Instead we live in this world where every economic bloc has domestic regulatory protection, and then every neoliberal economist sits back and pretends that economic protectionism doesn't exist/free trade exists because tariffs are so low. Meanwhile U.S. tech companies pay gigantic fees to the EU to help prop up its regulatory apparatus. Give me a break.
Anyways, sorry to hear about your country man. And sorry for being selfish, but if you got any tips to keep that shit from happening here, we'd love to hear it.

>Anyways, sorry to hear about your country man. 
It's fine, one of the few good things of living among retards is that most government institutions are too incompetent to work, they wish they could censor and ban like China, but they mostly block a few DNSs. It's not like they are chasing normal people, there are too much criminals for them to care about.
The only way of you getting in trouble is going openly on social media with your real life profile posting shit like "I'm going to kill someone and bomb a place". Hell, if you kill someone here and have a good lawyer you still could get 4-5 free days (per year) out of prison and never came back.

I think here is one of the few countries you can go fully anonymous if you want it. There a lot of cities with nearly 200k pop where you can live normally and just 2h-3h of bigger cities. You could buy a house, car, internet, a cellphone with little trail and only money. Worst case if you have no fear, go to a favela where you have no address and live with fully stollen internet provided by local drug lords.

>And sorry for being selfish, but if you got any tips to keep that shit from happening here, we'd love to hear it.
Really troubling, personally, I think democracy can't work without eventual violence. You need disruption from time to time, like war, steal someone's land, companies, resources, etc.
Voting won't change, all parties are corrupt in a literal cabal of baby killing, eating and fucking.
Protesting wont work. They've shutdown organizing ever since ((( wall street  ))) directed the rage against them to other groups like now people are just mad at each other for frivolous things like social media ragebaits.

Look at US, the population happily put spy cams and mics 24/7 connected on their doors all from Ring/Amazon, inside their homes with smart assistants (mostly Amazon/Google), and just now are annoyed that the Flock thing are spying them. UK cucked themselves with loicenses and what not, Europe accepted with open arms millions of refugees that not only refuse to speak or learn the local language and culture but  don't follow their laws, not including having 5 to 10 kids each, building mosques and slowly destroying local culture.

The solution? I don't fucking know, study, be smarter, have a good job and a safe place to live. Try to help your local community, join a club, try to interact more with the old folk and keep what's good and traditional from your city, state or country, be a better person and wish for the best.

One of the reasons why I personally moved to Devuan from a rolling release distro is precisely because I don't want to deal with software ((( updates ))) that change around stuff and mess with my workflow.
My drawing tablet is pretty old and the center is so scratched the texture is noticeably different from the outer regions, and lately I've noticed it has been shedding more dust, like the scratching from the pen is getting worse. Is this something I should worry about? I've tried drawing on the edges of the screen, but that feels too unnatural. I'm considering covering it with one layer of duct tape to protect the surface from more abrasion.

My friends made an app. It's very cool. Imagine a youtube-like interface except you fetch videos and data from different sources and people write plugins for each source. As a result, a creator can switch from e.g. Youtube to Odysee to whatever else is the best without losing their audience. There's also decentralized comments and thumbs upping and downing

We are destroying Youtube's network effect. They are fucked.

It's an open source android app. There's no desktop version yet because making it work well on another platform is a lot of work.

Another interesting thing is that Youtube is now deleting videos that mention Grayjay
