My notebook battery died so I looked up what a new one costs and it is fucking expensive. 110€.
I opened it up to see whether I could exchange the cells by myself and it seems to be possible. I could get cells with even better more capacity and replace them. But the pack is not only cells, it also has some electronic for charging or whatever. I found a win32 tool which shows the capacity of the pack, the current capacity, volts etc.
1) can i replace the cells and expect it to just werk?
2) is the capacity of the pack usually hardcoded into the chip or does it calculate...

Get a job instead of leeching your parents basement.

Dip it in water to rehydralize the cells
>>54324997
iirc it calculates basically everything by the voltage of the battery. It isn't like sensors inside the battery pack itself can actually determine anything super precise about anything other than the voltage. With a higher capacity cell, basically the decrease in voltage over time will be less at the same power draw than with a lower capacity cell.
None of what I just wrote made sense to me but I'll keep it.
There may be a chip somewhere that has a stored capacity for the pack (like, in memory)...

I have a Dell laptop and every time my battery reaches 19% it sleeps without warning and then if I charge it up at 19% or 25% it sleeps.
Nothing in error logs, nothing in battery settings.

that's what you get for not buying a mac.

Serious question: considering the level of jewing that went into the 1151 Intel socket, how "future proof" can we expect it to be? They seemed to change it for no reason which makes me doubt it'll be around for 4 years or more like 1150 was
Basically, is it worth it to get a skylake machine now with hopes of upgrading in the future?
>>54324789
You'll have one generation, two if you're lucky. But beyond that memory will change or PCI-e 4.0 will release requiring a different pin configuration. It's not like they change the configuration for shits and giggles. It's generally to add features, PCI lanes, memory controller, etc.
>>54324789
How often do you keep mobos for more than two generations' worth of upgrades?
I used to buy platforms that would have sockets that last years and years, but it never mattered, not once. Every time I wanted to do a major overhaul of a system, I always, always wanted a new mobo.
Whether it be to support new RAM or a better controller or other features, there was just always something that made me not want to stick with my old mobo past MAYBE one CPU upgrade (and even that was rare).
It's...

How do you justify your additional 20 ms input latency?
By not doing anything that's negatively impacted by an additional 20ms of input latency

I don't play videogames and even if I did a 20ms input latency wouldn't really matter

Why is writing "clever" code discouraged?
>>54324431
Readability > boilerplate hacks
The length of the comment required to explain what the fuck is going on is inversely proportional to how clever the code is
>>54324431
Your code is clever if it
>saves significant runtime
>fixes a bug
>makes clunky code readable
Your code is not clever if
>it doesn't do anything of the above but just reduces 3 readable lines into 1 unreadable line just because you're a special snowflake code artisan
Why has GNU/Linux won over FreeBSD?
FreeBSD seems to be the superior OS of the two.
>>54324372
It was endorsed by GNU.
I wish a corporation like Google took FreeBSD, injected millions into development, changed it like Apple has done with Darwin, and then create a graphical interface for it.
Because Linux users absolutely love shitty audio output and thus they decided to develop a new audio system in form of ALSA instead of continuing work with the last GPL-version of OSS3. FreeBSD devs on the other hand, continued OSS3 development (Hannu developed OSS almost completely alone) and now they have superior, in-kernel sound system and Linux users just cant deal with decent audio quality.
Why does /g/ hate ARM so much?
>inb4 muh windows
Well, I can't speak for the hivemind, but I personally like ARM, it's a refreshing low-power alternative to x86.
I still hope RISC-V catches on, and all other ISAs die off.
>Why does /g/ hate ARM so much?
Intel tells /g/ to hate ARM and thus /g/ does - we can't upset our israeli overlords.
>>54324342
/g/ hates everything that has majority on market
on the other hand
/g/ uses everything that has majority on market
Nvidia, Windows, iOS...they hate it yet they use it

ARM about to take over the computing market
>>54324245
Nobody really expected that Intel will take over mobile market. ARM is king of that place and it will stay like that for long time to come.

Pls explain for someone who knows nothing about ARM but is laying in bed why its better for mobile
