Can we discuss machines who can be useful as libre systems, free from Intel ME disease?
Hopefully they meet this conditions:
>no over 500 dollars (Libreboot X200 starts at 574)
>they don't require soldering or mods for use. Just install you FSF blessed distro and you're happy
I think that old Powermac G5 can meet these conditions.
What do you think, /g/?

This looks great. Is it possible to put a 1080p screen on it?

>>54869960

>>54869885
G5 needs closed source Open Firmware.

Since WebP will never get adopted on 4chan because herosheema is busy watching chinese cartoons then I propose we bring back the WebP hack back from the dead. It will also cuck apple users into converting the files into images on their fagbook to use them as a bonus.
Hack:for %f IN (*.png) DO ffmpeg -loop 1 -i "%~nf.png" -an -c:v libvpx -qmin 20 -quality best -threads 4 -t 4 -r 4 "%~nf.webm"
The hack basically uses the WebM container to store a VP8 video stream with a duration of 4 seconds of a still image....

>Well it turns out if you just store a single frame it will loop infinitely and cause your CPU to burst into flames.
u wot m8?
You can change the output quality of the WebM by modifying the -qmin parameter. 4 means near-lossless and 63 means super shitty quality.

Been making plans for my basement bedroom and future Battlestation.
Finally got time to put up some studs and pressurized wood nailed to the concrete floor to mark all the walls.
Gonna have a double door at the bottom of the staircase and metallic floors.
Shit is coming together.

Why even buy a desktop when we have smartphones in 2016?
>>54864519
If you don't need one, don't buy one.
>>54864519
That's funny, I don't remember desktops having shitty ARM octacores which can barely decode a HD video in software
>>54864519
Same reason you didn't replace your desktop with a pocket PC.

Best source for t420 new keyboards besides ebay? Budget wise
What's everyone got in the mail?
>>54844708
T60p with what is most likely 1600x1200 Flexview. Snagged it for $95, so even if it's only 1400x1050 it's still a fair deal.

I'm probably going to do the earpad mod on the SHP9500's. What earpads will make the headphones sound warmer and bassier, so that they can suit my EDM and hip hop bass needs?
Is the XBA-A3 worth the money?

Like I always say on these threads, you don't compete with Pajeet on a Pajeet-dominated environment. They charge that because they can actually live with that money (and have many of those gigs at the same time helps too).
Working locally is a great idea, keep doing that. If you want more work, wait for your clients to recommend you with other clients, from the same city or a near one.
>>54839118
>Are these bids even serious
Some of them are serious, some of them are absurdly low to catch clients, and then upsell, some of them are just some kind of scam or morons who don't know what their time is worth (or do know what their time is worth)
You get what you pay for.
>how would anyone recommend competing in this area of web dev.
You can't compete with them on price, but you can on quality....
