This shit lies lmao I didn’t get this much sleep

[jaunty light]

pls.. what did they do

[hard drift]

it looks fine, trident z royal looks like ass

[jaunty light]

trident z royal is amazing

i cant believe u would diss it

[hard drift]

🤨 it's horrible looking

[jaunty light]

I used to have a meme but i lost it ages ago

[sly elk]

It’s my favorite looking ram

[jaunty light]

it was that business card american psycho meme, OH MY GOD, IT EVEN HAS A CRYSTALLIZED LIGHT DIFFUSER

[sly elk]

Beyond that

I’d be satisfied with metal heat spreaders at least

[hard drift]

🤢 they made it even uglier

[sly elk]

Some of the rgb shot is plastic

Oh yeah that’s not nice looking

[jaunty light]

is that for ddr5??

[hard drift]

no, ddr4

[jaunty light]

fuckers

that shit looks great

[hard drift]

no it doesn't????

[jaunty light]

[hard drift]

ewwww

[royal forge]

Thats so fukin uggo

Wtf

[jaunty light]

they made deus ex human revolution into ram

[hard drift]

they even have silver

it's so fucking ugly

[jaunty light]

silver i'd get the flat version instead

[sly elk]

I like the original

[jaunty light]

still looks decent but i'd rather have gold

[sly elk]

Minus the stupid wings on the ends

I think it’d look better without the wings on top

[jaunty light]

i like the wings

they makea the pizza pie

[hard drift]

overall it looks pretty meh 😔

[sly elk]

All I know

[hard drift]

this graph on the other hand is what i'm hoping is true and for every game, the frame consistency being a lot closer to max would be amazing

[sly elk]

I’m never buying Corsair ram again

[jaunty light]

gskill gang

[sly elk]

Because they use cheap shit garbage memory chips

[jaunty light]

here at gskill gang we dont have that problem

[sly elk]

Assholes couldn’t be bothered to use Samsung or micron

Nooo they gotta use Hynix and some bullshit called nanya technology

Fuck that

[jaunty light]

I think gskill had the only 32gb kit with b-die chips at the time I bought it

[hard drift]

i mean my ram works fine 🙏 despite being hynix

[sly elk]

I wonder if Corsair does that with their other parts too

[jaunty light]

all my other cheap kits from gskill were micron i belieeeve

[hard drift]

my cheap kit is hynix

[sly elk]

Micron is good though

The problem is Corsair ram

Especially the rgb sfuff

They’re charging Samsung and micron prices

And then giving you team group quality

[jaunty light]

always fun to hjave to do the compatibility lookups and what chips a kit is using

[sly elk]

Or whatever random jank brand

[jaunty light]

actually wait

I think when I had an r7 1700 my gskill kit was M die

the 1700 did NOT like that ram

[royal forge]

Sad

[jaunty light]

I wonder what the b die equivalent for sammy is now

oh.. b-die still exists

thought it was discon

@sly elk

what is crucial smoking

i want some of that stuff

[sly elk]

Crucial doesn’t make gamer ram anymore 😦

They stopped with ddr4

[jaunty light]

seems like bdie on ddr5 isnt the good shit though. plus not a lot of kits atm

aye

probably just going to be better to wait a couple generations of CPUs

plus omegalul board prices

you really gotta pay asus an extra $300 for a 10g port

[hard drift]

not like most people need 10g

[jaunty light]

least you can do charging that much for a board is offer 10g

[hard drift]

Pay 800+ for 10g 😎

[jaunty light]

500 for proart

700 if you go aorus

[hard drift]

The best part about the new chipset for amd despite early adopter pricing is the usb

[hard drift]

(watching that now, was going to link to it)

[potent arrow]

I love how it breaks literally in 5 mins

[jaunty light]

Ryobi gang laughs at the milwuakee peasants

[paper tusk]

I would flash makita gang signs but I can't afford a spare battery yet

[sly elk]

i need a legit 4m displayport cable

i remember when they announced those. tbh I didn't know they sold them

interesting

the ugly qs suv's third row looks a little better than the 2nd row lol

well, minus the lack of a place to put your feet

[jaunty light]

but can it 21:9 crysis

well if you wait long enough we'll all die then you won't need to worry about monitors

[sly elk]

heh

what kinda monitor have you decided on?

oh ok

[jaunty light]

panels only jump foward every like 5 years so if there isnt already something better, all the monitors out use the same thing.. roughly

[sly elk]

that msi appears to have a pretty fat bezel on the bottom

[jaunty light]

meanwhile us pancake fans get nothing!

[sly elk]

idk if it didn't cost a ton of money i'd go with an aw3423dw

[jaunty light]

I would get an mled monitor but it seems like the minimum entry point is 32 in 4k

[sly elk]

but i'd rather wait to get a 38" of some sort

[jaunty light]

i stick to 27 inch

h interesting https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG274QG-Tournament-Monitor-Ultimate/dp/B09V6WNKC1

too bad it's AOC

is this even MLED? no reference anywhere

oh I see it's google being google, again.

i hate non verbatim google results

the one step down from that, 272g-2k

still no release d ate, but maybe ill buy one if its not 2000

all of the panels have fat bezels on the bottom @sly elk I wonder if there's reason for that lol

[sly elk]

nuh i mean the msi I have has a rather chunky piece of plastic lol

it sticks out a bit

on every other screen I';ve owned there's a thin piece of plastic

idk viewsonic needs the birds

what good are viewsonic monitors without the birds

[jaunty light]

birds arent GAMER

they need to replace those with like, blood-covered, jet black falcons

that's gamer as fuck

[sly elk]

apparently when they started doing thinner bezels they ditched the birds

but they could've put the birds on the bottom or something

https://www.viewsonic.com/us/company/birds

[jaunty light]

This Gouldian will be shipped FREE, thanks to the generosity of our corporate sponsor

sweet free bird

[sly elk]

at least they still do birds everywhere else

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-iron-man2-marvel-ivan-vanko-gif-17459217

[sly elk]

aw

that's kinda neat

oh it was just a contest lol

boy that's a pretty lame sponsorship

"we'll ship ONE bird"

[jaunty light]

you know I thought I had a bird on my viewsonic but guess not

maybe some still do but on the back of the panel

[jaunty light]

just in case you really don't need to get there any time soon

[royal forge]

Its not the destination

Its the journey

[sly elk]

O_O

that's a long plane ride

at what point are you a passenger and at what point are you a hostage

i imagine at that point the plane staff are all dominatrix types

This is a huge blunder and Milwaukee has been really skimping on quality lately

When your brand reputation relied on that you shouldn’t try to quietly fuck people over

[jaunty light]

simply be a ryobi fan

cant be disappointed if you expected nothing in the first place

[modest moss]

I just watched that video, I'm worried about you

[sly elk]

ah maybe stick with makita or bosch next time?

[jaunty light]

Hank busy buying all new makita or ryobi goods

Scratching off his milwuakee stickers on toolboxes

[sly elk]

lol

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

sadly while bosch is german, they don't make their tools there

[deep sapphire]

I don’t own that affected tool so I should be okay

[modest moss]

but your world is shook

how can you trust anything now

[deep sapphire]

I had to fix that angle grinder but I got it for free cause someone returned a broken one for a new one and I got fucked over on that lol

but they were all crown vics

nope

they were basically thesus' car

i recall being in a taxi that old

every time they hit a bump they'd make some kinda scary grinding sound

the seatbelts didn't work, the radio didn't work, the windows didn't work

driver was some old meth'd out dude who chain smoked

[deep sapphire]

Fords can’t even last 100,000 anymore

The triton 2 valves were decent engines

And the old Cleveland and windsors were great

[sly elk]

lol i wonder about overall reliability across the industry atm

especially for stuff made between like late 2020 and early 2022

[deep sapphire]

I guess the coyote is decent havent heard too many issues with them

Yeah GM has inconsistent issues with the lifters and they’ve never formally come up about it other than a TSB so it’s hard to say how widespread it is

[sly elk]

sienna right?

idk anything about toyota drivetrain reliability

[deep sapphire]

Yeah you won’t have to worry too much about Toyota they’re one of the few automakers who essentially bully their suppliers to do a good job lmao

They built up a reputation of mutual respect with suppliers and design everything so that it’s difficult to assemble things incorrectly

[sly elk]

hehe

[odd sand]

@tame fulcrum You still have that 12100 lying in a box? Seems like my mom wants me to just do a rebuild for them instead of monkeying around with the 10yr parts

Thing won't boot unless I change the SATA to IDE mode. Theoretically if I did a fresh install it might work, but if that is a sign of the motherboard failing, then it will be a lot of hassle for nothing

So I have it working for the moment in IDE mode, but I'm noticing with the 4gb ram its at like 55-60% ram usage at idle, so I imagine some of their issues is having zoom and a browser open was using up the rest of the ram

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/163886330454081538/1026349722476228668/unknown.png

The 12100F is like 106 or something, but I need graphics on it so that's easier than ordering an old quadro like I was saying I could do

Would be like 15-20 after shipping, at which point why not just have the onboard since it only adds like 23 to the price

Kiddos are good at that

Was sitting yesterday and the one was complaining she was hungry, so I interrupt her playing Grounded to order food from eatstreet and like literally 1min later "Are you done yet? I want to play" when we haven't even finalized what everyone wants to eat yet Then when the food arrives I have to take 10mins prying her away from the games, she eats for like 5mins then starts running around again

Next time I'll pull a Goldie Hawn in Overboard "Shut up and eat your Goldfish"

I blame their parents for providing alternate food too often

A couple nights of eating dinner cold from the fridge a few hours later would solve a lot of problems

The same dinner that is

Not something else. You get the food you didn't eat earlier. Cold. Enjoy.

I was a picky eater as a child, but these kids are something else sometimes

My inner 8yo is like OMG JUST EAT IT

ITS MAC AND CHEESE. HOW DO YOU NOT LIKE MAC AND CHEESE?

They love ketchup. Made spaghetti with plain red sauce, no chunks. Wouldn't eat it. Had to rinse the sauce off the meatballs and the oldest begrudgingly ate it

The mac and cheese baffled me bc even the youngest wouldn't eat it and he usually is the least picky of them

She used to eat mostly anything, but now is almost as picky as the oldest, so I dunno if he rubbed off on her, or if its something like the taste buds don't fully kick in until a couple years old

So yeah, I think if they weren't given bananas, apples, goldfish etc. as alternatives to eating their actual meal so often they would at least try it or eat it more often. I think they take one bite and its "different" from the type they eat at home and immediately determine that means its "bad"

I'm willing to work with that within reason, but when its irrational and something I know they like, I lose patience lol

Oldest: "I want a chicken tender meal" ... proceeds to eat all of the fries and 2 bites of a chicken tender and say he's full

I remember as a little kid I didn't like veggies so in order to avoid fighting with me over it, she would serve cream of wheat and it was always bright orange, which I thought was just honey added to it, but it was also like veggie pills/vit a/b crushed and mixed in heh

The problem with "trying" is they're preconvinced they'll hate it, and/or even if they do find they like it after trying it, they don't want you to be right so they'll still insist they don't like it and won't eat any more of it bc toddlerbrain

[boreal surge]

They're really delish you know

[odd sand]

I laughed way too hard at that.

[boreal surge]

idk how you're eating them but you're supposed to suck off the cartilage and spit out the bones

Also me going to college and getting sick of all the heavy food did more for my desire to consume vegetables than my parents did.

Yeah I miss proper asian food here.

Yeah that's gonna leave some trauma

you could try separate it on the plate?

Ooooh frog, that's another thing I haven't had in ages

[odd sand]

We had pet ducks and one day I came home from school and opened the garage door and my grandma was standing there holding one of them headless

[boreal surge]

Stone frog in particular

[odd sand]

...Then tried asking me if I wanted some for dinner that night when clearly it was the duck bc it had the huge neck bone sticking out of the pan

[boreal surge]

I liked the ones cooked with pickled veg but they also do it cooked in butter and soy sauce

[odd sand]

My grandma grew up in Ukraine and survived the Holodomor, so you can imagine she didn't understand the concept of being squeamish over slaughtering animals heh

[boreal surge]

I mean like a lot of us these days would be

[odd sand]

I went turkey hunting with my dad like half a dozen times, but we never got anything when I was with lol

he got a turkey the time before and after I went

[boreal surge]

The closest i got to gutting something was joining my mom on her wet market trips

That or deskinning a pork belly with a blunt knife.

[odd sand]

I shot a squirrel once and tried skinning it, but my dad wouldn't help me at all and I couldn't get the skin completely off

[boreal surge]

Fish? normally pre-gutted.

[odd sand]

So that kinda soured me on trying to field dress anything after that. He got super mad at me as well when he found the frozen squirrel in the freezer not skinned lol

[boreal surge]

Actually I did disect some stuff in bio

But larger animals just feel different

And also actually slaughtering them too is something else.

[odd sand]

My dad goes deer hunting every year, but he never brought me along on that and I don't think I would have the stomach for field dressing a deer and pulling out all the guts

[boreal surge]

Well most of us don't live near a farm/have an animal coop, and back home wet market normally means slaughtered just before

[odd sand]

My one friend's family is really hardcore: They process their own deer even. My dad would always just take it to a local place to process into venison

[jaunty light]

Lets go hunt

We can learn 2gether

[boreal surge]

Speaking of wet markets, FDA would have a stroke seeing indonesian ones.

Anyway for me the fear around processing my own meat is from losing my own fingers in the process.

[jaunty light]

it's just messy to have to drain blood and everything. but besides that, for food safety don't you need hardcore blast freezer, or is that a seafood thing only

[boreal surge]

Implying that Seattle chinatown is lively enough to have a butcher

[jaunty light]

like 21 day freezing before using the food

[boreal surge]

And yeah also cleanup is already a pain when just handling raw meat.

[jaunty light]

well even for stuff caught in the ocean, they don't recommend eating it without blast freezing

unless it's tuna that somehow doesn't carry parasites

[boreal surge]

something something worm killing

the uwajimaya has some reasonably priced chu/o-toro on the shelves actually from time to time

TIL on that actually

[jaunty light]

iirc you cant sell fish in the US unless it's blast frozen

[boreal surge]

Yeah what becca said.

[jaunty light]

but yeah you do have to extra prep cheap salmon

too much whatever the fuck you call it

[boreal surge]

We could start by RULE 4 RULE 4 RULE 4

Just some self-censorship on what I think is causing all the mess.

Anyway Stadia is dead and anyone with a hint of knowledge of gaming saw it coming

Well the jumping from one product to another is the startup/agile methodology they teach in entrepreneurship classes in school

[jaunty light]

cheap salmon with mitsuwa but it had too much you know, what you call it

[boreal surge]

But they also teach actually studying the market and figuring out how to succeed in it, which they pretty much didn't

[jaunty light]

doesnt wanna upload lol

[boreal surge]

Well the weird thing is that the problem invented itself during the pandemic (people who wanted to play games but had shit for hardware) and they still couldn't capitalize

IMO the problem was them pushing towards adoption of their hardware.

Other being lack of a proper library.

[jaunty light]

there we go

not too great for nigiri cuz its got too much of the.. word I can't remember

[deep sapphire]

Apple Arcade is getting some decent games now

[boreal surge]

My problem with apple is their closed ecosystem AND their inability to curate a good games store.

[jaunty light]

the chuutoro was really expensive though, $100 a pound..

[deep sapphire]

Has a fun castlevania game I’ve been geeking out on at work

Controls work pretty well

[boreal surge]

Wasn't the we want to buy EA actually fairly recent?

The other problem being that no one who cares about gaming content even games on an apple device.

[deep sapphire]

Specifically talking mobile games apple is far better than android because companies know people are more willing to spend money on the App Store lol

Sure you lack emulation (sorta)

You can use AltStore but I could never get it to sync up on my network

That was a good game

340 whp of EV power with a 40kWh battery pack and reinforced chassis 🙏

every road in canada already has eye in the sky giving out video tickets for speeding

you can only really enjoy driving in the US, because so much of it is just uninhabited wasteland

I remember in AB the rental company warned me not to speed because every road had eye in the sky and they'd just pass the speeding tickets on to me

of course they do

shoot them down like goddamn terminator

I just want a sexy mid-power EV that doesn't cost $70k

don't need a 700whp EV

300-350whp is perfectly fine and it doesn't need a 100 kWh battery to run it

yeah

the only affordable EVs currently are the bolt and the mach E

the leaf is officially dead

even though it's actually a pretty nice car

that's going to be a problem in the US too

there's an excise tax on gas that will rapidly go away when the fleet becomes majority EV

they were thinking about a mileage tax but that seems insanely imprecise to self-report

and adding a GPS unit that just tells the government how far you drive is a good way to have eternal rioting

Mileage tax due at registration renewal with odometer reading

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-slapping-slapped-slaps-face-slap-happy-gif-23993613

a lot of the states that would flip their shit about having DA GUBMINT tax their mileage are the same ones with inordinate vehicle registration fees, because they're Free States that don't have income tax

[late basalt]

That’s why I still have OH plates and insurance rates

[sly elk]

meh

maybe just straight up add it to the vehicle registration fee and be done

i'd say to keep rich people from getting angry, one "driving cars on roads" fee per person max?

that does sound potentially rough though

in ca, the gas taxes add up to like 51 cents a gallon i think? (not verified)

someone drives a 10mpg truck 15k miles a year that's $750 in tax

[odd sand]

I kept my WI plates the entire time I was in CA

Bc $500/yr in reg fees is

[sly elk]

so if you had a WI license to go with those WI plates you could probably get away with that for a while

a coworker did something like that and got caught and had to go to court and stuff

[umbral moss]

low efficiency cars/trucks aren't even the real problem with road repairs though

it's the fucking heavy trucks

[sly elk]

yea

I think that the VLF should be more heavily skewed on curb weight

[umbral moss]

haulers don't pay shit compared to how much damage they do to the roads

it's worse for rust belt states because they have heavy trucks and the fucking plows destroying the road

[sly elk]

unfortunately that's kind of a necessity

[odd sand]

Yes I still had my WI license as well. I actually had CA plates on my new car, but the reg had been paid thru the end of the year. So I didn't have to pay the renewal when they sent it to me. They kept nagging me on billing tho, so I had to send them something that attested to the car being out of state. Never had that in WI so I hadn't been opening the letters at first lol

[odd sand]

Plow blade goes BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE

[sly elk]

although taxing such things heavily would hopefully minimize wasted trips

eg using trains instead of trucks for certain routes

or not shuttling shit around for no reason

[odd sand]

Private companies pushing negative externalities onto the public is as American as apple pie

Now stop being lazy and poor and pick yourself up by those bootstraps and apply for government business subsidies like a true American businessperson

I’ve got an updated license, but that’s only because most jobs will require an Id issued in-state for employment

Not that they could

Bank is being a shit about transferring title information so I CAN get new plates down here

[odd sand]

That was WI as well. I set the mailing address to Cali and for 2 years they said nothing so 🤷‍♀️

[late basalt]

I can prepay for like 5 years in advance too. So I’ll probably do that this year

[odd sand]

In the area of CA I was, it was really common to have plates from all over, so police never bothered checking that stuff

[frozen bolt]

How does VR gaming work? Can I just buy any headset or do I have to a specific one?

[odd sand]

Multiple navy and army facilities so there were damn near all 50 states floating around that area

There are 2 groups: Sitting ones with the gyro in the headset, and full VR ones where you need base stations to track

[frozen bolt]

probably gyro for my gaming space

[late basalt]

Mil servicemen are exempt in most/all states about DLs though

Due to service transfers

[odd sand]

Unsurprisingly, sitting ones are far cheaper AKA Oculus and Playstation VR

[frozen bolt]

PSVR is PC compatible, right?

I'm gonna ch eck

[odd sand]

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for though. So cheaper headsets will have worse resolution and FOV

[frozen bolt]

oh well, nope, they're actually not.

[odd sand]

Some of the full VR headsets can be used without base stations though, like this one: https://pimax.com/product/vision-5k-super/

Maybe someone here has the Oculus and can speak to the specs on that. I didn't want a facebook account just to use it, so I haven't looked into it.

[umbral moss]

why is tesla making humanoid robots

you can't even make cars

[sly elk]

ahh geez people still managing to get $300 for used unifi dream machines on ebay

maybe i should just sell mine and get a UDM pro

[modest moss]

not officially but you can get them working for some stuff allegedly

[sly walrus]

psvr works, but there’s no internal height tracker

Pretty sure if you took it to consumer protection they could do something. Or might be worth consulting a lawyer for that kinda money and see if they think you have a case

Drive it to another province and demand a fix /s

[jaunty light]

Tfw you spend 2x on a mobo as cpu

[sly elk]

hheh

i didn't realize the UDM and UDM pro have the same processor hahahahaha

the UDM pro has 4gb ram instead of 2, that's.. about the only difference

it's really lame you can't use the built in storage for anything other than "unifi protect" >>

mastering video is hard, setting black levels at true black when displays aren't calibrated for that is a problem

[paper tusk]

oof

WD blue 8 tb is 120 usd (yes it uses proper SMR)

[late kraken]

I prefer Black due to max performance

Not sure if it matters though. The HDD will be used for storage, so I can cut on all these other drives I am taking space on.

[paper tusk]

yeah (I'm in same boat for a storage drive to retire multiple small ones)

thinking would be better to pick up one from microcenter so I know it's a retail drive and will have a warranty (and hasn't been used as a football in the amazon warehouse)

[late kraken]

Dang. You had bad luck too? I swear, I am lucky

[paper tusk]

last time I got spinny drives was ebay and newegg

[late kraken]

ew. Never used them

[paper tusk]

lots of laptop drives and external enclosures

[late kraken]

Well, I used newegg. Never again

[paper tusk]

and a 750 gb wd black that's begging to fail from being old (back when newegg wasn't scummy)

[late kraken]

Got a used laptop that ran for shit from them. Come to find most of the parts were close to obsolete.

[paper tusk]

same. bought my previous build's case from newegg and it was defective out of box. only reason I did it again (buy from newegg) was because ebay buyer protection is better than newegg's own website

[late kraken]

I had a friend who vowed his manhood for newegg and we always argued because I bought from Amazon - stating Amazon was ripping me off and had no rebates. Beg to differ, for even though rebates were good was still finding better sales pricing off Amazon + rarely had bad experiences.

Had bad RAM 1 time, provided proof, and got it replaced - no bugger

[paper tusk]

oof

fuck mail in rebates

would rather throw money at satan (jeff bezos) than wait 3 months to get a glorified AMEX gift card

or worse, best buy

[late kraken]

Fact you said Best Buy 😂

[paper tusk]

at least the worst that happens at BB is they are always out of stock even though website will show a store has whatever

[late kraken]

I rather donate my kidney and make money vs burn money at Best Buy

I still remember them scamming me on Sims Medieval after telling them they got blank discs

Made them test their entire shelf and they got canned

[paper tusk]

dosesn't surprise me

[late kraken]

Their supplier provided them all blank discs for Sims Medieval

[paper tusk]

then again I have the kind of luck to have gamestop claim my debit card was stolen only to go 5 min away to BB and get the same ps3 I wanted no problem

any coolio recomendations on beginer 3D Printers? Lookin into that as another thing to get into. saw the ad from MicroCenter about the Ender 3 Pro being $100

[paper tusk]

only thing i know about 3d printers is pack extra nozzles

since good plastics wear them out

[late kraken]

Curious. Anyone know any good, fast usb drives to recommend? Want to make a boot drive

[odd sand]

Also you need to clean the thing constantly and any design you use needs to have proper scaffolding in it or it will droop and fail

Why would you use usb for a boot drive? NAS?

[late kraken]

GNOME, Linux

[odd sand]

Well it would be a combination of the drive speed plus the USB port you're connecting it to

[royal forge]

What are the things to look out for in a mobo?

Apart from, size or like, wifi capabilities?

[odd sand]

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MUF-128AB-AM-Plus-128GB/dp/B07D7PDLXC/

[royal forge]

Is there a specific brand or feature to avoid or aim for?

[odd sand]

That listing is a lie its actually 300mb/sec it says but

Otherwise they make USB enclosures for M.2 drives as well

[late kraken]

Long as it is strong despite Linux being lightweight

[odd sand]

https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Enclosure-Retractable-Aluminum/dp/B07B68T2V3/

The simplest way is the Samsung thing I linked bc its really low-profile

[late kraken]

Yea doesnt need to be overkill. Just reliable

[odd sand]

The M.2 enclosures obviously cost more and stick out a lot more

[sly elk]

RAHHH I FUCKING DID IT!

i spent way longer doing that than I should have, but it works

also, fuck canon for making network printers that use proprietary protocols

like WTF

[latent grotto]

expect nothing less from canon

[sly elk]

what on earth possessed them to do that

like what kinda shitty programmers

i bet that printer runs windows ce and the software is made in java or something

[latent grotto]

same reason we can't scan if the ink cartridge ain't filled

[sly elk]

oh this one will let you do whatever lol

though it tries to stop you, you can hold the OK button for a second and it'll just let you do whatever from then on

including run the ink completely dry

[paper tusk]

i just go with branded sticks (phillips, sandisk) or microcenter store branded. both times i got off brand usb stick (silicone power and some mystery brand) they were both dog shit bad

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081QSJNRJ

i have questions about putting frozen food in the refrig like that (just ignore what "food" I'm talking about)

honestly they weren't that loud

it's just those videos are super quiet rooms with a really good mic I guess

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSNqzTwHiuU

the floppy drive sounds were fun sometimes

frustratingly slow, but fun

because different disks made different noises

like some were quiet and some would go sfsfhshfshfsfhsfhshfsfhsf

[deep sapphire]

I remember the dreamcast

being particularly loud

for no reason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtSA6yamcMI

and this was a common sound to hear from them xD

[sly elk]

i can say

i hate it when they put numpads on laptops

lol we had a contractor dude that lugged around one of these

funny thing

macs use the same fn/ctrl placement

honestly i think it's dell's fault that everyone else puts ctrl in the wrong place

it's just that they make more computers than anyone else

so everyone thinks everyone else is doing it wrong

but idk, toshiba did the ctrl on the left thing back in the 90s too

the beefy kinda with modular bays and every port you could possibly need were fun

idk about build quality

in fact I will rant about this

one of the shittiest built laptops I've used inthe past 10 years

THIS

maybe i just irrationally hated it because the idiot who specced them out included an i7 HQ, 16gb ram, and a 500gb 5400rpm hard drive

and the soldered on ram

i had a soft spot for the 17" macbook pro

ports

17" chonker vs 16"

but the chonker had upgradeable everything ;_;

and an optical drive

lol I can't defend ubiquiti pricing

the U6-lite is an ax1500 class AP and it costs $99

staples has a netgear ax1800 for.... $29.99

then again I suppose that you'd never use those netgears in a commercial install

Looks like AMD may have miscalculated: 7900x and 7950x are both still in stock with Newegg. Intel preorders sold out in hours

[odd sand]

Supposedly the margins on the AMD are just a lot higher than Intel. Also how is it a DDR5 tax when Intel can be used with either?

I need to decide yet if I want a Z790 board, or just stick with the 690

[old jetty]

the image quality for games I play is pretty good, minus the airs always looking blurry/pixelated on the edge on my 27 inch monitor, is it normal? res is 1080p

dunno if I should replace it with a smaller monitor or it wouldn't make a change

[dull garnet]

Is that native res?

[old jetty]

Yes, think so

Half a meter/a mater away

[odd sand]

I have a 27" 1080p and yeah, that is really stretching the pixel size, but I wanted it for the ULMB and refresh

[old jetty]

So if I replace it with. 24" it should be better

[odd sand]

Usually by 27" you would want 1440p, honestly.

[old jetty]

TBF I only got 27" cause it was the better deal out there

I see, thanks

I'll try to replace the monitor then if I get the chance

[odd sand]

If I'm really looking for it, I notice the pixels at 27" 1080p, but if I'm not trying to be conscious of it, its really not an issue

Try to push your monitor back a little more on the desk

[dull garnet]

i went from 24 1080 to 27 1440 and the pixel density seems basically the same

i had a 25 1440 like 6 years ago and i ended up selling it because it was too small, and resolution scaling was iffy then

[odd sand]

Bc 24 to 27" is about 25% greater pixel area and 1080 to 1440 is like 35-40% more pixels so the difference in density is only like 10-15%

idk how they do it now, but yes

looks like that's how they plan to offer 10gig

xgs-pon

[jaunty light]

the big boy one is suposed to be sym 10g

[sly elk]

i wonder if I can even get 2/2 with my old ass ONT

I recall asking and being told I could get gigabit with it

[jaunty light]

pretty sure I'm like, one of 3 people on the current splitter, so we'll see if latency and speed maintains when everyone decides they want it..

[sly elk]

that part idk, that's one thing here

[jaunty light]

pushing shit to my drive at 500mbps+ will be a lot nicer than the previous 25mbps for sure

[sly elk]

in my corner of LA, there's both frontier fios (fiber) and uh what is it

spectrum cable

the vast majority of people I know use spectrum because it's cheaper lol

[modest moss]

looks kinda shit

[jaunty light]

drive estimates a 7gb upload as 8 mins, so thats cool

[hard drift]

i mean they aren't shit lol

[jaunty light]

bido you have not used your language right. you meant "they ain't shit"

[hard drift]

ewwww

[jaunty light]

intel gang!!

[deep sapphire]

@modest moss you on?

[modest moss]

I'm online but not in overwatch, about to watch the ted lasso season finale

[sly elk]

[jaunty light]

This strikes me as innovation nobody asked for

[modest moss]

@deep sapphire that reinhardt guy fucking sucks

[jaunty light]

The hammer is too much for shue

[modest moss]

not fun at all

tried soldier 76 for a match and that was better but eh it's just not a controller character

[jaunty light]

When in doubt, mercy

[modest moss]

or quit to desktop

[deep sapphire]

yeah he's pretty hard to play well

[jaunty light]

The overwatch experience is the joy of uninstalling

[modest moss]

like at least with soldier 76 I got 11-12 kills but I died about as many times

[deep sapphire]

shut

[modest moss]

it's a bit basic

[jaunty light]

Hank likes the simple stuff, like his 90 something chevy

He strikes me as a dva main

[modest moss]

he's soldier 76

[jaunty light]

Soldier 76 doesnt have a milwuakee skin

[modest moss]

but he's a good ol' boy

[jaunty light]

Mm.. but with dva u get a mech. Or you could zarya

Or greasy junkrat

[modest moss]

you know a game is basic when it's about as complex as the casual FFXIV pvp crystalline conflict shit

[deep sapphire]

you can try torbjorn

he can lay down a turret

if you are sneaky with the turret and use it well he can get a ton of value

I play a lot of him too

[modest moss]

I am not convinced it's worth my time putting effort into a game that forces me to either play fps melee (which sucks usually) or play a fps where I'm massively disadvantaged by using a controller

[jaunty light]

Good news, you can play apex instead

[deep sapphire]

yeah its a really fast paced game, I would try another FPS that is designed a tad slower and not as chaotic.

its a hard game to adapt too unfortunately

I had a game earlier where it was like holy fuck this is ridiculous

[odd sand]

Shue: Have you played DRG?

@deep sapphire

[deep sapphire]

nice 4chan user here

[jaunty light]

Not me

[modest moss]

in XIV? yeah

[odd sand]

No. Deep Rock Galactic

[modest moss]

oh no, never heard of it

I was wondering why dragoon would be relevant

[deep sapphire]

@modest moss It's a cooperative "dungeon crawler" sorta FPS where you dive into a planet and fight bugs and collect resources before surfacing

One of the most wholesome communities I've ran into. Very very little toxicity. Think I only ran into douches twice heh

I guess the closest I could equate it to would be like TF2 meets left4dead

But it's not as frantic as Vermintide and such. You have waves that attack, but then downtime to complete objectives

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comments/xt6447/the_worst_customer_service_possible_going_back_to/

i think i lost interest hahaha

there's like a half dozen posts on /r/galaxyfold about this kinda thing happening

[paper tusk]

my first samsung phone (want to say early 2000's. it was a pre-iphone smartphone) was my last one. nice to see their customer service basically consists of telling you how to recycle the device

still

[sly elk]

yea, it's a bummer. and from what I hear the current ROG phones are crap, too

and beyond that nothing's really novel enough to me right now haha

[dull garnet]

Hey I had one of these

[paper tusk]

that's the "first boot is going to be slow" sticker

or parts of it

[sly elk]

not bad for the companys first dedicated gpu

but needs work

[hard drift]

it's really awful

[real edge]

babys first dedicated gpu

I hope they become an actual competitor in the future

[hard drift]

given how long they delayed the damn things you'd expect better drivers than what they delivered

[umbral moss]

it's attempt one
