depends on what you want
if you want to hang on voice with someone, any Bluetooth is shit cause Bluetooth is shit and can't handle that.

Fuck headphones. What are some small speakers I can place on my desk to play porn audio at low volumes on so I don't have to use headphones?

Is this any good for a Jellyfin server?
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009784034621.html
It's €180 atm where I live.
I wanted to build something, but the motherboard alone would be more expensive than the above.
>>
>>108261472
jellyfin users often require transcoding, yes? that n150 is only good for 4k/30 frames playback on one browser or video window at best
>>
>>108261522
It supports QSV, it definitely does more than that. Even the J5005 that I currently have does a few video transcodes without issues — actually, I don't know about 4k specifically since most of my media is remuxes or high bitrate encodes at 1080p, but if transcoding was the only concern I'd stick with what I have.

anything that touches your skin should be bought locally. Actual clothes are okay, because you can wash them properly and get any normal shit out, but thick blankets can contain all sorts of chinkese-horrors, nope.

>>108268396
Weighted blankets can help fall asleep even if you do not have autism, but if you really can't sleep without one it can be a minor symptom.
They are comfy and can be breathable/absorbing, depends on fabric.
I have 8KG one from a local manufacturer, it's filled with tiny glass beads and has two different surfaces - silky smooth and velvety for different weather.

its fine if you don't mind intel firmware locks, QCNCM865 is better but it's also 2x the price
>>
>>108269614
Make sure the device you are upgrading does not have some gay whitelist in its bios.
I got a couple generic AX210 cards to upgrade my motherboards and they work fine.
Also with intel get the right slot type - AX210 and AX211 look the same but are not interchangeable.
>>
>>108269614
If you have an AMD CPU you should pretty much ignore anything that is CNVio2. It is a problem with some 802.11ax cards and everything 802.11be.
CNVio2 is a bullshit Intel proprietary interface and only works with Intel 12th Gen and up.

If you are looking for any 802.11be card and you have an AMD CPU, your only alternatives are Mediatek and Qualcomm based cards.

If you are on Linux and proprietary drivers bother you and want stuff that built in kernel drivers Mediatek is the way to go, but the cards might not be as good as Intel ones.

https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/mediatek.html
https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi.html

On Windows only the Intel cards have drivers that you can download and install from the vendor. The rest of them don't have publicly available drivers, so you have to source updated ones from Windows Update or other questionable sources.

RTL8922 support was recently added to mainline, but it doesn't offer anything over MT7925 and MT7925 is usually the cheapest.

>>
>>108269907
Realtek is also OK for older stuff, typically you need to wait for those to get in decent shape. USB adapters are not really recommended to get anything Realtek that is recent unless you like dealing with compiling drivers constantly or messing with DKMS.

For anything USB this is a great resource: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Currently this one is the best bang for the buck if you want specifically for Linux and you want an USB adapter:

i can get the $1s, gotten them 3 days straight now since doing it on my phone instead of my tablet
so yeah, going to redeem 160000 for a $20 off 100 coupon, then 80000 for $8 off 50, and the remaining $120 will be done over 4 months during choice week and mid-month sales at $1 a day
this wouldn't suck so much if i could still get the $5s reliably

I live in the US and I bought a Microtech clone (FOOH) from Ali, it cleared Customs and then refused to move for almost two months.

Honest opinions on Poco Phones and RedMagic Phones? I'm a bit disappointed in Samsung, so I might give a chink phone a try... And read a guide on how to debloat it
>>
>>108278282
I have pocos. they're fine
debloating is trivial but there are some peculiarities like the game throttling process that you may or may not have to disable (I think they might have fixed it) also in hos3 they added an aggressive memory manager, people complained and they removed it in the 309 update I think but I can't confirm cause depends on the phone and I haven't updated to 3 because of it.
its mostly an issue for processes above 3.5gb like emulators so I'm not fucking with it.
they're also making their os look more and more like iJeet liquid ass.
