who needs audit log when you can blame pleasant

pale sigil

Pretty sure most of us ssaw the video XD

reef patrol
#

Their only weak point.

I'm not buying a new laptop at that price range. I'm going to keep looking for a deal, whatever brand it ends up being. havo

misty saffron
#

“when it’s time to get a new cpu, you just buy the new motherboard”

#

i mean i guess it’s not any different with desktop intel cpus dogekek

halcyon moss
#

im totally looking for a new laptop at that pricepoint :p

wheat plume
#

Yeah, true xd but this is a thin laptop

halcyon moss
#

but amd 6000 please

#

also not super convinced by the framework "modules"

misty saffron
#

not super convinced by windows laptops in general

#

or linux, if you will, which i believe is a worse nightmare

halcyon moss
#

im gonna slap ubuntu on it so fast

final flame
#

it fixes the issue so you can get a good crop since it doesn't actually show the indicator + the crop tool in discord can only zoom in so much if you have a image larger than that you wont get a good crop

fair gull
#

ah

#

basically

#

precheck

final flame
#

yea

fair gull
#

if it has all the indicators amd mobile indicator placement it would be god tier

#

cause mobile indicators almost dont cut into the pic at all

final flame
#

it could be made into a website easily to show all the different sizes on different resolutions and platforms

fair gull
#

do it

#

make money

final flame
#

but idk website design so yea

misty saffron
#

oh look at least they’re consistent between ios and android

fair gull
#

hollow

#

check memberlist

misty saffron
#

nvm

fair gull
#

fuckin joke

misty saffron
#

you’re telling me they wrote separate code

fair gull
#

ya memberlist uses desktop placement of the indicator

misty saffron
#

for member list and profile sheet

#

discord devs get paid hourly

#

like phone displays are high res enough to make the online indicators appear as good when they’re small

#

what the fuck

wheat plume
#

this is odd

#

when you launch GIMP on windows, it needs to launch a temrinal window

final flame
#

no it doesn't from what I know

wheat plume
#

unles this is because im using dev edition?

misty saffron
#

compiled as console application

crimson wigeon
#

Yes literally read the last line there..

wheat plume
#

fair

misty saffron
#

or explicit AllocConsole() call

#

the better question is why are you using gimp

final flame
#

fr

wheat plume
#

cause its nice to quickly do a thing that the editing in the image viewer doesnt do

ashen spindle
#

why are you using the dev version

misty saffron
#

cracked photoshop exists though

#

💀

final flame
#

if you need to do quick edits paint.net is far easier to use

wheat plume
ashen spindle
#

so for no reason got it

wheat plume
#

ye

misty saffron
#

quin i thought you’re not new

wheat plume
final flame
#

didn't keep the groups smh

#

oh nvm it did

#

did it keep the clipping mask?

wheat plume
#

I saw a flatpak app one time that did this stuff automatically for a bunch of popular apps

#

forgot the name ;-;

#

you just gave it an image and it showed you various sizes and shapes you can change it to

halcyon moss
#

i have never thought so much about a profile pic

wheat plume
#

I hate aligning them right on Discord .-.

halcyon moss
#

i keep forgetting i even have one here

wheat plume
#

it changes from the preview to what you end up with

final flame
#

aligning stuff can be annoying sometimes, And since discord only allows you to change it twice in a certain time period

wheat plume
#

yep .-.

misty saffron
#

what even is that rate limit lmao

final flame
#

it does it for banners too

#

despite paying for banners

wheat plume
#

didnt people use scripts at one point to automatically change their pfp every half second so they could get "animated" profile photos?

misty saffron
#

small company with bad servers i guess

final flame
#

they also removed apngs from discord entirely

wheat plume
#

yep

final flame
#

people used to use those for pfps too

misty saffron

yeh ;-.

wheat plume
#

so uh...how do you fix a very badly burned in AMOLED screen?

#

my uncle NEVER locks his fucking phone, he just uses the cover case to cover the screen and forgets about it

#

so all the home scren icons are burned in really badly

reef patrol
#

You replace it?

marble egret
#

I dont think severe burning has fixes

wheat plume
#

hes had the phone like 5 months

#

replacing isnt an option

reef patrol
#

Then he'll have to suffer in silence.

#

Or try his luck with warranty. 😄

wheat plume
#

and learn to FUCKING LOCK THE PHONE .-.

marble egret
#

Screen replacements can cost less than 100 bucks depending on where you do it and what phone it is

reef patrol
#

Since the phone is less than 6months old he might get lucky.

crimson wigeon
#

Screens by default are turned off after a little bit, not sure why one would turn that off

marble egret
#

Obv if you have an iphone never repair it at an official iphone shop

crimson wigeon
#

But also aren't cases supposed to do magic to turn off the screen

wheat plume
#

this one doesnt

marble egret
#

So it's not a brand new ultra recent phone right ?

reef patrol
#

Unless you specifically bypass this.

wheat plume
#

i set his screen timeout to the lowest setting in the hopes it wont get worse

#

cause he also keeps the screen at full brightness cause he uses his phone outdoors basically all day

wheat plume

There are good budget phones in the market rn as well..

Redmi is decent for vudget

cursive summit

And there are also good high end ones...

shrewd thicket

maybe in terms of hardware

but no way am i getting a samsung

cursive summit

Nobody said Samsung

shrewd thicket

my dad has the S22 Ultra and its awful

That it is

shrewd thicket

but no way am i getting a sony lol

cursive summit
#

Sony Xperia is THE high end smartphone

marble egret
#

Only experience i had with sony phone lasted 2 updates

misty saffron
#

definitely gonna buy the new iphone unless somebody else decides to make something as good that would completely outweigh the fact android is terrible

shrewd thicket
#

I want nothing to make a high end nothing phone

marble egret
#

Phone died as soon as the second update finished

cursive summit
shrewd thicket
#

tbh just slap a SD8G1 in the nothing phone 1 and put some better sensors in the camera, ill download gcam mod and be happy

cursive summit
#

Sony - top end hardware, clean software, fully unlockable and moddable

#

Price to match is the main negative

halcyon moss

No support

cursive summit

Support for what

shrewd thicket

i was about to look ^

In the past

shrewd thicket

there is literally nothing in the development category for this phone....

LMAO

nothing even in themes apps mods

thats so sad omg

#

same story

cursive summit
#

Tf

#

Xperia 1 III has a shit ton of ROMs

#

Tbf 1 IV came out like what, a month or two ago

shrewd thicket
#

doesn't matter

#

I made the how to root guide for the 7T Pro literally day 1 i got the phone (and i preordered) which was an achievement back then because android 10 ootb changed a lot about the partition layout of this phone making rooting difficult with the state of magisk back then

#

8 days after release

#

bruh also that top comment is delusional

#

the dude is arguing with another guy and he thinks that guy is the OP

#

he's not even following my guide either he's doing something completely different

#

thats hilarious

#

also excuse the username i made that account when i was 13 tryna figure out how to root my shield k1 tablet LOL

Welcome to apple products

wheat plume

o.o

shrewd thicket
#

i dont know any recent macbook that isnt backlit

wheat plume
#

the new Air doesnt seem to be

#

at least in this video

#

do you have to manually enable it, maybe?

shrewd thicket
#

Keyboard and Trackpad
Backlit Magic Keyboard with:

shrewd thicket
#

that would ruin ur battery life and its stupid regardless

#

it goes on when you're typing

#

if u have the brightness up

#

u can slide it

#

and the macbook air has this too

#

m2

wheat plume
#

ahh ok good good

shrewd thicket
#

i have the brightness pretty low because i find the screen already lights up the keys enough

wheat plume
#

yeh, I barely use mine except in the dark

shrewd thicket
#

same

wheat plume
#

my new laptop turns the backlight off after 15 seconds if you dont use the keyboard

shrewd thicket
#

Nah too much effort

wheat plume
#

which is done via hardware cause it happens the same way in any OS

shrewd thicket
#

Oddly enough it goes on even when I type on a external keyboard lol

wheat plume

o.o

that seems not correct

shrewd thicket

my OS is smart

Gotta love it when you move a motor that has nothing to do with two others and the closet one has an exploded capacitor while the furthest one has burned chip. Thanks China.

You chose to buy it

I mean not really any other good options, and could have just been a dud. Other people with the same board have it running well.

#

This seems like the right chat but like what’s the worst u can do to someone when you have there number

ashen spindle
#

not going to answer that becuase you could fuck over whoever gets the number after that person decided they need a new one

stone topaz
#

So now what do I do when this one person is threatening to kill me but has my number

#

And who can I find to screw him over 😂

#

What should I do abt that

#

Btw we both in our early years of HS

#

I have ss of him saying ima die and shit

chrome estuary
#

Inform the police would be one option

#

Block the number is another

stone topaz
#

He goes to my wchool

#

School

chrome estuary
#

And? Tell him to go to hell and ignore his sorry ass

stone topaz
#

And we’re talking he starts calling me ass and shit and so I go on and bring up his friend group leaving him

reef patrol
stone topaz
#

I got the messages

reef patrol
#

And of course report it to the police to have it on record.

stone topaz
#

Lmk if this is valid

#

Not in order

ashen spindle
#

if its more than just petty HS drama go see police and/or someone from the school

#

"this guy wants to kill me what phone pranks should I do on him"

stone topaz
ashen spindle
#

then go to the police

#

idk the dude so I dont know if he means it or not

Okay so back on topic for the channel. I'm thinking of getting my DDR5 ram in advance of Ryzen AM5. I'm looking at Corsair Dominator Platinum or Vengeance but they look the same except one doesn't have RGB and it's like 60$ cheaper

#

Latency seems to be the same, speed is the same, so I'm not sure what the difference is

ashen spindle
#

I wouldn't get it early

chrome estuary
#

Is ram really gonna change all that much in 2 or 3 months?

ashen spindle
#

we dont know what zen4 needs, if its speeds like before to keep IF clock high or lower latency is better etc.

chrome estuary
#

Ah fair.

ashen spindle
#

and yes I do think prices still go down as I'm sure some might wait to release the latest kit with the cpus when they come out

chrome estuary
#

I expected prices to raise when the new CPUs came out tbh

ashen spindle
#

cant say for certain either way but I doubt it

oh wait this is 2022

wheat plume
#

ive not played the half life 2 episodes
does the story end like there will be more or is it a definite finish?

fair gull
#

forget what u saw

#

also why is the ui old school steam themed

wheat plume
#

they added this new theme to plasma desktop xd

#

its optional, ofc

fair gull
#

why even is there a desktop

wheat plume
#

cause its a PC

#

and you need the desktop to setup emulators and other launchers too

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah the classic VGUI theme is pretty nice I might just copy it to my fat computer

wheat plume
#

fat computer
?

#

you body shaming your PC in 2022?

crimson wigeon

Nothing wrong with thicc

wheat plume

ikr :')

.-. ikr

junior ore
#

Lol

#

@fair gull why wouldn't there be a desktop?

fair gull
#

does a portable gaming oriented platform need a desktop if steam already has big picture?

#

its like the switch suddenly having a desktop

#

just dont see a point in it

junior ore
#

Thats the misconception

wheat plume
#

isnt gaming mode basically just a web browser anyway?

junior ore
#

The switch is a closed environment computer, a micro-computer/console.
It does one thing.

#

The Deck is a full computer, an open environment.

#

Its shape doesn't mean anything in that context

#

Also its not Big Picture Mode, its different

#

And it isnt a replacement for a desktop environment

That's not as important as Radeon GPUs

junior ore
#

In august? Interesting

cursive summit
#

Hopefully we see an announcement for the cards too

fair gull
junior ore
#

Aye, it is a laptop. That doesn't make it less a computer even if it has controls built into it.
Also there are others that have integrated controllers far far worse lol

#

Anyways the Steam Deck is a UMPC and thats a computer format that has been around for over 15 years

ashen spindle
#

with less IO than a mac havo

junior ore
#

Course, UMPC failed in the consumer market many years ago for various reasons lol

#

By what, one port?

#

Not much bragging in that regard

#

No wait

#

Stram Deck has an audio port

wheat plume
#

sd card slot
usb C port
headphone jack

junior ore
#

Yeah, three total

wheat plume
#

more ports than a macbook Air from 2019

junior ore
#

Lmao

#

@ashen spindle so its less >XD

ashen spindle
#

didnt know we are in the year 2019

#

and pretty sure the usbc port is not thunderbolt

junior ore
#

You knly said amount and didnt specify which macbook.
Also i dont know what the this years ones have. They keep making them constantly i cant keep up

#

Also it doesn't need thunderbolt, though i do plug a thunderbolt docking station it which works fine.

Intel's new Arc Alchemist GPUs ship with the first consumer hardware AV1 encoder. This is HUGE for the progress of higher-quality and lower-bandwidth video streams. Let's talk about why that is and how Intel's AV1 GPU encoder compares to NVENC, QuickSync, VCE/AMF and X264, and we'll throw the CPU encoder SVT-AV1 in the mix!
▶️ Get downloads of a...

▶ Play video

At least Intel GPUs will have 1 desirable feature

shadow minnow
stark bobcat
#

It's a good one to have tho

ashen spindle
#

too bad amd and nvidia will also have av1 so they have one nice feature maybe in time if they do release it at some point

shadow minnow
#

Like headphone jack nice but it’s just that
Sd card reader can also just read sd cards. And then only one usb c port that’s not even high bandwidth not so good

stark bobcat
#

Not many people care

#

Hardly anyone will hook up a gpu to a 4 core cpu

#

It's a shame but not that big of a deal especially at the pricepoint

ashen spindle
#

oh yeah its no issue because the main point of the deck is still to be a portable game devise

#

and while you can use it as a full on pc its just not made for that clearly

empty wren
junior ore
#

Don't know how you can say ita not made for that when it is

#

Its made to be both and it does both

#

But yeah if it was a thunderbolt it'd be an upgrade

#

Though that might drive up costs for licensing i think

ashen spindle
#

it's not the primary use case, its not made for that

#

im not saying you cant use it for it

shadow minnow
#

Not counting possibly connecting mouse, kb and more

empty wren
#

I feel like at that point just buy a laptop¯_(ツ)_/¯

ashen spindle
#

what are you on about needing 20gbps for a usecase the deck is never going to serve

junior ore
#

I hook up mouse and keyboard to my deck

shadow minnow
#

Well you may want to use it for media consumption at higher resolution

junior ore
#

And a monitor

#

Fine as it is for casual media consumption. Obviously not meant for watching 4k movies kn

ashen spindle
#

look I'm trying to say that you're already needing dongles or adapters to have mouse and keyboard attached so thats clearly not a primary desing goal, not that 4k60 videos that barely exist are slightly over the bandwith

junior ore
#

Right i get it, its primarily a portable gaming platform. But its also dandy for a laptop replacement. I just plug it to my work docking station and it saves up space to boot.

ashen spindle
#

if you like torturing your eyes by working on the tiny screen sure, otherwise I just see it same as tony that it can do it just not really make much sense, if you use it to power a a monitor, mouse/kb might as well just have a laptop that can be used easier when travelling

#

only reason I could think of would be budget limitations and them im still there are better options

stark bobcat
#

I mean I can see a usecase for that.
I basically have 2 PC's in different places if the steamdeck came out earlier I could have replaced the one I use less with just docking the deck

#

Especially since I mostly play easier to run games

#

It's a niche situation but it does occur

ashen spindle
#

so it works but clearly not made specifically for these rare cases

stark bobcat
#

Yeah I agree it's not its primary function

junior ore
#

Wasn't aware you had eye issues.

stark bobcat
#

I do but I still think the steam deck screen is ok

junior ore
#

No i meant quinn, they mention their eyes hurt if they look at something thats... bigger than a phone screen

pale sigil
#

deck screen iz neat

#

using it as i type

misty saffron
#

explains why it took you so long

stark bobcat
#

Deck does have lower ppi than the majority of phones

pale sigil
#

well ye typing on the deck ait super weasy

ashen spindle
#

cba having to constantly restate what I actually write because people cant read so I'm just gonna ignore the rest of the topic

junior ore
#

It was a point i was making : its not torture to look at the decks screen

stark bobcat
#

They are neat

junior ore
#

And its bigger than the normal phone

ashen spindle
#

again not what I said and I'm done

junior ore
#

You literally said it was torture working on the tiny screen yet you don't even own one to know that.

pale sigil
#

imean he aint wrong

junior ore
#

Would be bad if you used the screen for spreadsheet or sumthin

ashen spindle
#

nice implication of you somehow knowing more about what I own than I do but ok

junior ore
#

You never mentioned it before and always advocate against the deck and keep calling it a waste so its a good bet you wouldnt spend 400 bucks to get one.

ashen spindle
#

so me saying I wont buy one because I have issues xyz that apply to ME and not others is advocating against it suddenly got it, and didn't know the deck is the only device in the world with a screen of that size

pale sigil
#

easier

stark bobcat
#

Ngl membrane keyboard still better than typing on the deck

#

Would choose membrane any day of the week

pale sigil
junior ore
#

Yeah it was an assumption quinn, im not denying it. I said it was guess work.

junior ore
#

Would rather type with the deck

pale sigil
#

i can only use them old dell ones

junior ore
#

Honestly would type with the deck rather than this phone i am using i hate touch typing

stark bobcat
#

Niz switch count as membrane right?

junior ore
#

Thats what it be

#

Well conventional keyboard is membrane styled rubber domed.

stark bobcat
junior ore
#

And thats okay.

#

It just has its own feel, pros and cons. Like everything.

stark bobcat
#

I'm 100% sure I'd type faster with less mistakes on a membrane board than using the deck

junior ore
#

You could order sample switches

#

True but you can find cheapo mechnical keyboard of dubious quality at the least, as an option

#

Or find one used

stark bobcat
#

There are like keyboard meetups or sum shit

junior ore
#

They come with the same switches honestly

stark bobcat
#

AliExpress has some real deals on mech boards last time I checked

junior ore
#

Btw does your country have computer or tech stores like Best Buy?

empty wren
#

Lol best buy has gaming keyboards

stark bobcat
#

Mx poo

#

Yeah customs are expensive

junior ore
#

@digital cliff best buy will have display keyboard you can type and interact with all day, and different types to try out.

#

Also yes they have Blue Switches

#

Which is what you want if you want tactile

#

That or razors purple which is like blue

#

It sounds loke you don't like linear switches

#

Which is odd cause this discord is all about an analog keyboard lol

#

But yes for tactile you want blue switches

#

Or old keyboard like Springbucks

#

And i have one right here at work too <3

empty wren
#

I think Fleimi was looking at not generic overused switches. Anything at the store is basically a clone that adds nothing of notable value.

junior ore
#

Is it cursed to combine these?

stark bobcat
#

ye

junior ore
#

It is a 2012 production one though lol

junior ore
#

@digital cliff i know is all good, im not meaning to sound like im bashing ya and such, sorry if it comes that way

#

Although the thing is MX Blue IS the tactile switch

#

Its clicky but you feel every bump and groove when you press it

#

There isnt kuch other options

#

Except for weird proprietary switches

#

What kind of switch are you wanting then?

#

There might be one but issue is tactile makss sound

#

Yeah but if it has tactile its gonna click

#

I wanted you to mention browns yeah

#

You feel those but no click

#

Ah

#

Well, theres always the switches Razer makes

#

Or

#

Old keyboards like Alp switched

#

Or the "Invaders" switches

#

I love my hall effect ones from wooting <3

#

Well if you find new or fancy tactile based switches, let me know. I love blues and tactile switches.

#

@ashen spindle BTW I am realizing I'm being rather an ass towards you by being extra argumentative lately, for reason that I don't know why. So I'm sorry that.

#

I'mma try to be more self-aware about it.

ashen spindle
#

all good, at most I just get annoyed and stop the conversation so no big deal

I think perhaps I try to be too literal or defensive or unable to stop the conversation. or some mix.

#

oh most def.

#

I've seen the worst of the combination of SS13 and Reddit community.

#

even when some nazies came in to try to muck things up some years ago in that community.

stark bobcat
#

guess the cpu

reef patrol
#

6700XT?

shadow minnow
#

6700XD

stark bobcat
#

Cpu

#

Not gpu

shadow minnow
#

11400

#

Or well I know that’s wrong

#

But nothing to stop me from saying that

#

It’s probably amd

stark bobcat
#

It's not amd

cursive summit
#

4400 is very low

crimson wigeon
#

2600k

shadow minnow
#

o.o I was thinking about like 3800

#

Oh nvm I was looking at overall score lol

#

Idk names of old CPUs tbh

stark bobcat
#

2600k would score lower

cursive summit
#

I found that i7-3770K scores about 4.1k

#

So something 3770K level but maybe a bit higher

stark bobcat
#

Xeon W3680

cursive summit
#

Yeah nobody would have guessed

cursive summit
#

My next guess would have been

#

Matches the CPU score

cursive summit
#

It's Xeon

#

It's ew

reef patrol
#

👆

stark bobcat
#

Why

cursive summit
#

Cause it's ew

stark bobcat
#

Old xeons are pog

astral haven
#

Old xeons are ultra pog

stark bobcat
#

This man knows

cursive summit
#

Anyways I remember somebody a few years back was offering me a rig with 4790K and I think a 1080

#

Glad I didn't buy it

#

Was on the more expensive side

#

Especially nowadays when CPUs are just pretty good

astral haven
#

I run a ddr3 system with 18 cores in 1 cpu

stark bobcat
#

Yeah this is my second pc I love fucking around with old hardware

#

My main system is ryzen but this still runs pretty well considering the cpu is 12 years old

cursive summit
#

The only Intel rig I would ever build would be with the OG i9-990X

#

Pair it with something like an HD5770 and call it a retro rig

cursive summit
#

This is what

stark bobcat
#

Chipset x58 first gen core series

ashen spindle
#

old xeons are core series cpus but cheaper lol

stark bobcat
#

Indeed they are

ashen spindle
#

so very much pog

cursive summit
#

LGA1366 is kinda cute though

stark bobcat
#

775 sticker mod goes

junior ore
#

xeons are indeed spiffy

#

no reason to see them as ew.

cursive summit
#

They are just naturally ew

junior ore
#

I got about... uuuhh....11 xeon machines

cursive summit
#

Disgusting stuff can have a golden heart

#

But it's still puke

junior ore
#

I need ot get rid of my server machines honestly.

ashen spindle
#

its literally the same silicon as the desktop parts with maybe some other fuses and markings to sell it as xeon instead

#

or were rather, now they stopped people from buying them to get top end cpus cheaper lol

Isn't magsafe just a fancy term for a magnetic clip?

Yes.

stark bobcat
#

everyone who uses wireless charging is literally the devil

cursive summit
#

Doesn't 30% "less efficient way" talk about Lightning cable?

#

Or the wireless charging thing?

wheat plume
#

cause it makes a lot of heat

cursive summit
#

Idk for whatever reason wireless is a thing

wheat plume
#

30-40% of the energy used to wirelessly charge a device is lost from heat generation

cursive summit
#

No need to pay for USB licenses so you can just take away the charging port lul

#

Boom, innovation

shadow minnow
#

It’s optional

cursive summit

Fuck your 3.5mm jack as well

It's Bexin, always defending Apple

#

"Why are you complaining about optional features"

#

Even if optional features suck

wheat plume
#

yeh but once Apple make that port-less iPhone
EVERYONE WILL FOLLOW

bye bye wired charging forever

shadow minnow
#

Well I kinda want that to happen

cursive summit
#

Wireless charging only will happen within 3 years from now

#

I'm literally sure of it

#

Apple 14 or 15 will tout "innovation" and "no holes" in your phone

id like to have a wireless charger in my car to trickle charge my phone while using it to play music

I hate these companies

GIVE ME MY HEADPHONE JACK BACK

wheat plume

cursive summit
#

WIRELESS SOUND SUCKS

stark bobcat
#

headphone jack isn't that big of a deal since integrated dacs suck

cursive summit
#

Ugh

stark bobcat
#

I still have one tho so suck it

cursive summit
#

I'll just buy either budget phones or Sony high end from now on

#

My Poco has one

#

But I hate the trend of not including headphone jacks

stark bobcat
wheat plume
#

expensive
sound worse than wired
need to charge them

#

dongles suck too

stark bobcat
#

shame u cant charge while using dongle tho

wheat plume
#

see

stark bobcat
#

dongles have good sound quality

wheat plume
#

problem

cursive summit
#

I always used to just pop my over ear headphones into my 3.5mm jack and go on a walk

#

Now I have to have this massive brick of a dongle to daisy chain it to do the same

#

Want to listen while charging? Buy another dongle

#

This is cancer

stark bobcat
#

u could also buy a DAP but who does that

wheat plume
#

I can charge my phone while using wired earphones <3

#

cause it has headphone jack

cursive summit
#

Is this why they discontinued the iPod Touch

#

And iPods in general

wheat plume
#

huh?

cursive summit
#

Just goodbye wired connections

#

Embrace wireless

wheat plume
#

yes

#

pretty much

cursive summit
#

Cause there literally is no point of buying an iPod anymore since your phone does the same

wheat plume
#

yeah :/

stark bobcat
#

wireless audio is evil

wheat plume
#

yes

cursive summit
#

I have pretty high end wireless earbuds

#

And man I hate them

#

No sound stage

#

No clarity

astral haven
#

That's your problem

#

Earbuds

cursive summit
#

It's the market's problem

astral haven
#

No it isnt

wheat plume
#

WHY WONT IT LET ME USE MOBILE DATA TO DOWNLOAD THE LANGUAGE PACK FOR CALL SCREENING?? DAMN IT GOOGLE

astral haven
#

You just are comparing different devices

cursive summit
#

I'll just get another closed back set of cans and use that instead

wheat plume
#

I cant use call screening cause I cant download it .-. it lets me do anything else over data if I wanna but not this??!!

ashen spindle
#

you can only download it via wireless earbuds

astral haven
#

Adapters are your friend
Better sound quality and power than any phones built in dacamp

cursive summit
#

I also heard of this new Apple DLC where you can only call people if you also buy Apple Watch with your iPhone

stark bobcat
#

tbh I don't mind the galaxy buds pro they are okay enough to go grocery shopping with

cursive summit
#

Otherwise you can't call

stark bobcat
#

also water resistance is nice if u go skiing and the like

wheat plume
cursive summit
#

I mind wireless audio just cause the sound sucks

wheat plume
#

^

cursive summit
#

Like going from my hi-fi station to using these tiny in-ears is just sad

stark bobcat
#

sometimes it's good enough just to have subpar sound

junior ore
#

that reminds me I need to actually finish modding up the IPOD I have.

wheat plume
#

Going from my 24 euro wired earphones to my 80 euro wireless ones sucks

cursive summit
#

I'll be sniping a pair of NDH20s tomorrow probably

astral haven
cursive summit
#

100$

astral haven
#

Get an adapter fam

junior ore
#

its all in what suits your needs

cursive summit
#

Honestly I can't decide between NDH-20 for 100$ second hand or Shure SRH840 new

astral haven
#

The ndh20 are absolutely worth 400

#

How on earth are you gonna get them working for 100??

cursive summit
#

Second hand mm

#

I won't disclose my sources

wheat plume
#

Apple, unlike most companies, are pretty good at keeping your data private

👀 you sure about that?

cursive summit
#

Very private

#

To the point they give you in to police if you do something naughty

#

There goes your privacy, terrorist

wheat plume
#

ikr!

#

so secure

#

The Pixel Titan 2 chip is very impressive

wheat plume
#

Actually no.... Have you seen the data collection macOS does??????

stark bobcat
#

I don't think it's about the data they collect and more about who they provide it too

#

which

#

who knows

cursive summit
#

You literally can't claim Apple has good data privacy if THEY LITERALLY LOOK AT WHAT YOU DO

reef patrol
shadow minnow
#

But they don’t use it to provide me ads at least

#

Especially not on Lock Screen dogekek

They do not sell your data they sell tokens to target people

wheat plume

Yes
Ad id

astral haven
#

And android has no provision in it for keeping your phone awake when you tell it to shut down specifically to track you and prevent the phone from being stored for extended periods of time without killing the battery

wheat plume
#

Huh?

ashen spindle
#

but anonymized data means its totally fine!

astral haven
#

I simply cannot believe apple managed to spin it as a positive

empty wren
#

Lol

shadow minnow
#

It’s literally optional lol

#

And pretty useful too

reef patrol
#

I mean google pesters me about embalming location as well. So ...eh.

Might as well use an NSA requirement yourself and lie to customers about it being off

shadow minnow
astral haven
#

Nope

#

Samsung sold hardware to carriers who did it

astral haven
#

And
How do you know it's optional?

ashen spindle
#

surely apple would never use a hidden feature without a user knowing, they would never do that

astral haven
#

Just because apple disabled showing you the data doesn't mean they don't have it lmao

junior ore
#

by definition, it's optional if there is user choice, regardless of the default setting of on/off.

astral haven
#

Yes but prove the user choice does anything...

junior ore
#

prove it doesn't

astral haven
#

Imo placebo buttons are worse than choice

junior ore
#

it's not a choice if it doesn't do anything.

#

I'm only refering to actual choices.

#

If you're going to claim to it doesn't do anything, feel free to show it.

astral haven
# junior ore prove it doesn't

It's unprovable considering it's neither open source or 3rd party audited
Also asking to prove the negative is a fallacy

junior ore
#

No it's provable, just not without certain things.

astral haven
#

How

junior ore
#

also no you are shifting the burden of proof here. you are the one suggesting it's a button that doesn't do anything.

#

i'm not saying ti does or doesn't.

astral haven
#

How can you prove apple can't turn it on without your knowledge

junior ore
#

there's code involved and code can be examined. just because you don't have the proper equipment/software to do it doesn't mean it doesn't exist nor doesn't mean it can't be looked at in the future.

astral haven
#

Apple scanned user files without informing the user for years

junior ore
#

yes, yes they do.

astral haven
junior ore
#

that's not what that means.

astral haven
#

As long as it's not auditable it's not auditable

junior ore
#

Open Source means we don't have easy access to it.

#

but it's still code, its still software.

astral haven
#

That's the opposite of what that means

junior ore
#

it can be looked at.

astral haven
#

No it's not

junior ore
#

yes it is. it's fuckign software.

astral haven
#

You specifically cant

#

Von
You actually can't be serious

ashen spindle
#

you can look at it yes, you cant decompile it and see what it does in a reasonable short time

junior ore
#

it's literally possible for it to be leaked or some shit

#

thank you quin

ashen spindle
#

and if you cant read assemly like neo that doesnt do shit

astral haven
#

Except that's not it either quin

junior ore
#

I'm saying it's possible.

astral haven
#

It's not written in assembly

#

It doesn't run that

#

It's fully encrypted

#

You can't decompile it

ashen spindle
#

machinecode then, fair enough

astral haven
#

Not either

junior ore
#

yeah and how do you think apple adds code?

#

through their own tolls and software 🙂

#

which is what I mentioned

astral haven
#

Via the virtual machine

junior ore
#

if you had the same, you can get in too

#

and thus example and do things just as well.

astral haven
#

No

junior ore
#

yes

astral haven
#

That's specifically not how that works

junior ore
#

yes it is.

astral haven
#

It's designed to be undecompileable

junior ore
#

If you literally had the devloper kit fo the fucking operating system and it's source code : you will know what the fuck is in the operating system.

#

dude I don't know what drugs youa re on.

astral haven
#

No you won't actually

ashen spindle
#

are we still on about a person being able to check it or are we talking about apple themselves knowing what they add

#

because I think this is going off rails

junior ore
#

Apple is not some super high genuine technomancer software engineers either like you are painting them

astral haven
#

You obviously don't understand how these are distributed

junior ore
ashen spindle
#

no I dont think thats what he's saying

shadow minnow
#

It kinda was though

junior ore
#

it was indeed.

#

And he shifted with WhatAboutIsm going about how apple scammed people before.

#

I didn't make a claim about any button.

#

I simple said, by definition, it's a user's choice regardless of it's default position. But that requires it to actually be a choice, as in, a non-fake button.

#

If it was fake then it's not a choice.

astral haven
#

And the point is that is conjecture

#

The setting is there, and has already turned itself on before
What makes you think that wouldn't happen again but obfuscated

junior ore
#

automatic changing of it is different. I thought it was talking of a default position.

astral haven
#

And even if you have the device and the code you can't prove it's the code running on the device without breaking I think it's rsa?

junior ore
#

so again : is it default position, automatic changing, or fake button?

astral haven
#

No way to know

junior ore
#

There is a way to know.

astral haven
#

Nope

junior ore
#

Yes.

astral haven
#

You don't understand at all

junior ore
#

You don't understand at all.

#

See that gets you no where?

astral haven
#

The phone software is encrypted

ashen spindle
#

its about apple having the potential option to do something without the user doing it and you cant really know that unless you sit at apple when its made

astral haven
#

Compile the code twice and you will get different binary blobs

junior ore
astral haven
#

It isn't possible to prove what code is running on a phone

junior ore
#

Yes it is.

#

I just told you how.

astral haven
#

No
It's encrypted, and will not produce the same blob if you compile it twice

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

Even if you have the code and the phone, the only way to prove what code it's running is to reflash the phone yourself

junior ore
#

see now it's just pure denialism or concpiracy theory here. That if you had the same tools and information and decryption keys..... Denialism.

astral haven
#

That's not how that works 🤷

junior ore
crisp magnet
#

Cool conversation

junior ore
#

you would know whats in there.

ashen spindle
#

no you wouldn't

junior ore
#

yes the fuck you would.

#

you would have access to it.

crisp magnet
#

I actually work at apple

ashen spindle
#

encryption is not always bidirectional

junior ore
ashen spindle
#

how

junior ore
#

or, well yeah

astral haven
junior ore
#

it depends on the encryption

#

okay so hold on

#

you know they

astral haven
junior ore
#

make and design the code

#

BEFORE encrypting it, right?

astral haven
#

Ok
Prove that's what's on the phone now

junior ore
#

I don't have Apple's tools 😛

ashen spindle
#

then how would you prove it if you had apples tools

crisp magnet
#

You would use a floater device for dev testing

astral haven
junior ore
#

it makes zero sense and no way it would work to auto-encrypt a operating system WHILE PROGRAMMING IT

#

whiel DEVELOPING IT

crisp magnet
#

Not a tool, devices specially made for dev testing

astral haven
junior ore
#

When making any software, especially ones you intend to encrypt... you're going t complete it first before encrypting it. Most of the secure ones don't do take-backs.

astral haven
crisp magnet
#

The is a hardware difference between developer devices and consumer phones if that’s what you’re asking

junior ore
#

If you have the master source you have the ultimate source. You would know if a button was fake or not.

astral haven
crisp magnet
#

You are required to also be in a trusted network as well

ashen spindle
crisp magnet
#

But I still don’t get the argument

shadow minnow
#

Carmobean thinks apple can find your turned of phone phone even after you turn of phone findeable after it’s turned off

wheat plume
#

it is

junior ore
#

phones, even iphones, can have update-malware injected into them and such. this is possible.

wheat plume
#

thats what Find My does

crisp magnet
#

Not that I know of?

#

Once find my is off and any third part apps with location tracking is disabled you can’t track an iPhone

astral haven
# crisp magnet But I still don’t get the argument

The NSA is known for having placed blacboxes at many strategic places on the internet and reading and overwriting lots of data
How would you prove a device hasn't been compromised to change it's behavior even assuming there isn't an exploit (which there are many)

misty saffron
#

you don’t

crisp magnet
#

Such an abstract question though

misty saffron
#

but it’s borderline schizo shit

junior ore
#

ah, that's different.

crisp magnet
#

You can you prove they are? Your question makes no sense. I for one as a regular person there cannot track you nor gather any information that is not already readily accessible

astral haven
# crisp magnet Such an abstract question though

It's a very specific question
If I download some open source software I can run sha on it and look at the value
If the value of my friends software or the value the original software has is different, I can be suspicious

junior ore
#

you'd have t run some heavy duty comparison software. But knowing when a device is security compromised is super tricky.

crisp magnet
#

Open source software on your iPhone?

astral haven
junior ore
#

sha?

misty saffron
#

hashing

astral haven
crisp magnet
#

Going on a website is not running software on your device?

misty saffron
#

trust me replacing files you download is the worst way to infect your shit

astral haven
crisp magnet
#

You still aren’t running open sourced software on your device

misty saffron
#

exploits developed by government agencies are zero click

junior ore
#

ah, right SHA or MD5 and such. I'm never remember all the terms >.>

astral haven
misty saffron
#

good luck trying to find what exactly is wrong with your device

crisp magnet
#

Plug it in and restore your phone

astral haven
astral haven
misty saffron
#

restore firmware

crisp magnet
#

Are you talking about installing profiles?

#

To iTunes

#

Plug ur phone in download iTunes and restore your phone

astral haven

All you can restore from is files downloaded on the internet that are encrypted

misty saffron

You don’t download a restore

Square 1 of what?

misty saffron
#

do you seriously think they would go through such trouble lol

astral haven
junior ore
#

honestly I wish i could fix my ipad. it refuses to update and I don't think itunes wants to communicate with it >.<

crisp magnet
#

that you’re being tracked?

misty saffron
#

possible in theory doesn’t mean it’s a practical attack

junior ore
#

eh, I don't care fi the NSA tracks me. like. it doesn't mean or do anything.

crisp magnet
#

I’m sure if someone who is sophisticated enough to breach iOS

junior ore
#

doesn't restrict my freedom

crisp magnet
#

The phone is the least of your concerns

astral haven
crisp magnet
#

If you think that’ll be the main outlet 😂

misty saffron
#

not sure how that’s related…

astral haven
crisp magnet
#

Remove the battery then

astral haven
#

You actually need to unplug the battery...
Which oh hey nice requires tons of tools

misty saffron
#

you can be afraid of tracking all you want

#

just remember there are much easier ways to track you

astral haven
#

Sure

misty saffron
#

that won’t involve having apple sign your custom firmware and allow for MITM attacks lol

junior ore
#

the bad choice was getting an iphone if you wanted t do any of that.

crisp magnet
#

I can basically guarantee no one is tracking you though a back door in iOS

#

But to is their own

misty saffron
#

you’re extremely close to schizoposting

astral haven
#

But I've gotta understand the threat vectors for my job
We use iOS fully updated with tracking enabled
But the threats need to all be quantified

crisp magnet
#

I’d be more concerned if the back door mental issues going on in the head

#

We provide devices to government agencies far more important than what you don

#

And it’s never been an issue

misty saffron
#

it’s great that you’re passionate about it

#

just please have the practicality of the attacks in mind

astral haven
#

But you have to be aware of all the vectors

crisp magnet
#

We don’t make special software for governments who use iPhones for their jobs. Everyone is on an equal plane

#

If governments aren’t getting attacked

#

You won’t

astral haven
#

That's not entirely true

crisp magnet
#

Not through iOS

#

I’m positive it’s true

#

There is no specialized iOS build for companies or governments

astral haven
#

iOS allows for mdm
We use a ton of features of mdm that integrate with our stack

junior ore
#

BTW you sound like you know a thing or two about apple device trouble shooting, mind I poke your brain of solving an issue?

astral haven
#

I really don't actually know much about troubleshooting them

junior ore
#

No I mean towards Virks*

#

I really don't want to wipe my device.

astral haven
#

Unless it's related to the wipe process

crisp magnet
#

What’s up with it

crisp magnet
junior ore
#

It's an Ipad Pro thats still in IOS 14, but it refuses to update to newer versions.

crisp magnet
#

What’s the error when you update or try?

astral haven
junior ore
#

I can't remember the exact error message, it was very generic. internet works on it.

#

it's not impossible some years ago I did somethign stupid to manually block updates?

#

I think I had a mindset to force it to not update but I can't remember

crisp magnet
#

I would go to storage, see if the update is installed. If it is just remove it and retry.
Or put it into DFU(volume up, volume down… hold power) and plug it in to iTunes and update through there

misty saffron
#

you can disable OTAs while jailbroken yes

crisp magnet
#

Make sure you don’t have any custom profiles

#

Turn off your vpn

misty saffron
#

also that key combination is different if you have a home button no?

crisp magnet
#

Yeah

misty saffron
#

also that’s a normal reboot combination

crisp magnet
#

It would be power + home button

#

If you hold it while it’s plugged in. It’ll go into dfu

#

Instead of rebooting

misty saffron
astral haven
junior ore
#

So Volume buttons and power button?

misty saffron
#

physical home button i mean

crisp magnet
#

Press Volume up then down

#

Then hold power

junior ore
#

there's no home button. again : iPad Pro.

misty saffron
#

then reenable from the jailbreak app if you can

junior ore
#

whats DFU exactly?

#

yeah I don't know if I have said jail broken app anymore.

crisp magnet
#

Recover mode

#

Device firmware update

junior ore
#

ah

#

that going to delete my stuff?

crisp magnet
#

Aka done fucked up mode

#

Yes

#

Well no

junior ore
#

damn

crisp magnet
#

Don’t restore

#

Just update

#

When you plug it in

#

If you click restore it’ll wipe it. If you just click update you’ll be fine

junior ore
#

okay so DFU mode, then plug it in and Update option, not recover option

crisp magnet
#

Correct

#

You can only get into dfu while the device is plugged in btw

junior ore
#

there a special type of cable? Cause I have a history of Itunes simple not registering anything was plugged in.

#

okay so plug in and THEN DFU mode

crisp magnet
#

Nope once you’re in dfu it will recognize it

#

Yeah

junior ore
#

okay. though I still need to get itunes to actually recognize that the ipad is plugged in.

crisp magnet
#

It will get recognized

#

When it’s in DFU

#

unless your cable has damaged pins

astral haven
#

If it's a Mac it'll even automatically open itunes for you

#

Oh actually issue I ran into on Friday, our 2012 Mac mini refused to update a 2022 se
Our M1 mini running the same version of configurator worked fine...
Just rather confused?

crisp magnet
#

Error code?

junior ore
#

only mac I own Iis 20 years old.

astral haven
#

"an update is required"
And that's it

crisp magnet
#

When you plug it in while it’s in dfu

#

And you press update

#

There will be an error code given from finder if it doesn’t successfully go through

misty saffron
#

also, you can’t go into dfu with a usb-c to usb-c cable

#

you need usb-a

#

ask me how i know

crisp magnet
#

You can

#

From what I know

misty saffron
#

no

crisp magnet
#

iPad pros are only usb c

misty saffron
#

yes and the other end must be usb-a

#

otherwise it just won’t go into dfu

astral haven
