Hello /g/
Do you know if it's possible to make a cluster of computer with few of them, all different, to get one more powerful ?
I know some software allow that, but I'm looking to this for a general use.
I though it could work as a multi-core logical/physical processor.
Even if it's on a virtualbox or so.
I ask because I want to do some movie work, but my computer isn't enough powerful, but I got few computer so...

I did some light IT work at a media distribution house before. You should just create a rack for rendering and a computer for editing. Queue jobs in the rack and render to some hard drive. That's how they did it on a shoestring.

That's called a beowulf cluster. It's usually done with identical systems but different ones can sometimes work fine. I'd not bother with less than ten, though. It's kind of a pain to set up.

FF sound gimped on ALSA-only Linux installs, I've heard people saying Palemoon sound works but I'm running 27.2.0 and can't get sound working in YT, SC, etc for the life of me. Is there anything specific I need to do? USB audio is set up via ALSA and works in other apps. Losing willpower. May just give in and welcome our botnet overlords.

I want a laptop, but I also never got to building a PC. Is there any good gaming laptops? Or would getting a "gaming" laptop screw me over?

>Or would getting a "gaming" laptop screw me over?
Yes it would.
Things that make a laptop good are directly against what makes a good gaming system.
Gaming laptops are expensive, heavy, and power hungry AND still under perform their desktop counter parts.
Just get a gaming PC + chromebook (or other cheap laptop)

because it's not a phone's fault that some fool drops them. iphones are way sturdier than samshit phones, for example.

Have I been baby ducked so much? I tried to move my taskbar to the side of the screen for over 4 solid weeks. I know it saves vertical space.
But as soon as I moved it to the bottom again today everything felt so much better and right at home

Same, I tried for a couple of months, forced myself, because I know it's objectively better, but it just doesn't feel right. I guess I'm a pleb.

Speakers?
>>
>>59500915
system volume and everything digital goes to 100% to use the full range of the DA
then adjust in the analog domain
>>
>>59500915
9/10 times I would rather adjust via a physical knob, unless I'm watching porn then its scroll wheel adjusting

Hey /g/
Today I found my old iPod shuffle 2nd gen. Thing is, it charges only via 3,5mm, and I have long lost the dock.
If I cut up some headphones, and a normal USB cable, would it be possible to connect the wires to make a charging cable?

looks dirt simple. even a dumbass could do it.
go for it. you just need 3.5mm jack and a USB cable.
>>
>>59500787
thank you for the reply anon! stupid question, the 3,5 jack, if I take the one from normal apple headphones, if I cut in the the cable part, can I connect the wires, or do I have to connect the wires from USB to the jack itself?
>>
>>59500731
Yes, but be very careful about polarity.
Might be a better idea to look for the dock online.
