Yeah quirky things breaking AI will be a great basis for memes and conspiracies lol

[astral haven]

lookin forward to it

[ashen spindle]

Oh yeah

[astral haven]

That's pretty optimistic
I can only hope that it's a company like openai that wins, not a company like Verizon or BofA

guys

im kinda new to keyboards

but kinda obsessing

and i was wondering i rlly wanna customize a keyboard, and eventually ill make a complete one

but with wooting 60he

maybe dumb question but can i change keycaps

its prolly pre customizable for 60% right

i especially wanted to change the boad itself, not sure what its called but transfer everything into a different 60% body

because ive heard the plastic kinda feels cheap

also i just ordered mine so it wont be in until next month

[mild dome]

The Keyboard modding - 60HE modding thread is where you'll want to go for most questions regarding modifying a 60HE
But to answer the questions:

• Almost any keycap is compatible, but Cherry ones might need you to rotate the switches to a "South" facing orientation to fit since the Cherry is short enough to collide with the housing in the default north orientation.
• There is a list of known compatible cases here: https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f
• The top plate of the 60HE might be troublesome to replace I can't remember the conclusion but people in the thread I mentioned might've done it

[floral meteor]

idk what u mean by directions because as i said im new to this stuff but ty

i wont know till i take it apart myself

since i dont actually have the keyboard yet

[mild dome]

Here is an image to illustrate

[floral meteor]

ooh oki

ty

OFC ITS PREFERANCE

but do u think the size matters

like if im getting into modding and doing custom keyboards

should i start with a specific size

also did not mean caps

i also 100% will not be taking apart my wooting until ive built a few

I need new wireless headphones

Earbuds are just to painful for me

Nou

I shower

Jesus Christ dude

[mild dome]

Lifehack

Buy wired headphones
Cut off wires
How hard can be it?

[pale sigil]

I didn't mean that sort

Sweet Jesus I meant cheap ones that sound alright

[mild dome]

Cheap and showerproof might be hard. But it has to be out there though I never seen one

[pale sigil]

Shower proof, damn son.

I was making a joke

Because you said bathys

[old marlin]

Focal

WH series is stupid easy to open

[fair gull]

all headphones ever are

first you find a stury surface

then you take a hammer

and just smash it

"You need an internet connection to continue setting up your device."

Why do you? The Wi-Fi device in this machine isn't supported out of the box. So that's it, just a 'Next' button that's greyed out. No other options, not even safe shutdown.

Windows 11 is the pinnacle of shit.

[ EU intensifies]

[maiden ice]

I actually despise windows 11

[ashen spindle]

that's refreshing, someone complaining about a valid issue and not overblowing what's happening

[reef patrol]

It started with 10.

[maiden ice]

Bruh

Idk why but I never had that happen to me even though I set up windows 10 in the regular

[reef patrol]

Depended on what build of the installer you had. On some builds the option to create a local account would vanish if you were plugged into Ethernet or connected to Wifi.

[maiden ice]

weird

windows being wacky as usual

[old marlin]

glory to rufus

https://rufus.ie/en/

if you make a win 11 install stick with it you can disable that

[reef patrol]

Sure - But imagine all the consumers who don't or can't 😄

[old marlin]

yea not saying it is good

also ms fixed that you could enter "OOBE\BYPASSNRO" in cmd

to skip network setup

or well

you can just enter a bogus mail

with a random password

and at least skip account signup

[fair gull]

should be added that this is only an issue in the home edition

[reef patrol]

That's something I guess - But that just makes it worse in terms of consumer vs corporation 😄

This is exactly the kind of thing the EU loves punishing MS and Apple for.

[fair gull]

i mean

not like itll cost you a lot

[old marlin]

no

had it with pro installs as well

on 11

[fair gull]

yes i setup win11 pro in my VM and it just has a I dont have an internet connection link

just like win10

[old marlin]

does not work with a recent iso file

[fair gull]

worked 2 weeks ago ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat plume]

Didn't work last week when I reinstalled

[fair gull]

are we talking home or pro lana

[wheat plume]

I have home

[fair gull]

ok and now you reread what yama and i discussed

[wheat plume]

I know you said pro
But they took that away on every edition recently

[ashen spindle]

saying it was not there on your home edition when previous discussions was, it is on home edition and not others, doesn't add any info though

[fair gull]

also pretty sure taking it away on pro is a big issue even in corporate

not all corporate users will have prepared install images

but might have no internet in the office and only local net

thats also why win10 let you pass and just say you wanna join a domain

and then you just never join a domain

[old marlin]

oh, you still can do that

[ashen spindle]

so rebar is still a mess on nvidia

massive loss if you turn it on in some games

when nvidia originally said they would have it so it's only active when beneficial via some whitelist

quite the mess in horizon and such

[rough osprey]

forced through profile?

or does it the stock one use rebar

[ashen spindle]

rebar is on by default on most boards

[reef patrol]

Sure wasn't back in Ryzen 5000 days 😄

[ashen spindle]

talking about intel

[reef patrol]

Wasn't the case for Intel back then either.

[ashen spindle]

also about nvidia gpus where they said it would know in driver wether to use it, not about the amd gpus at first

[reef patrol]

And the 3000 series GPUs didn't come with rebar enabled, so we had to wait for each vendor to release a new BIOS 😄

[ashen spindle]

yes grandpa, we are talking about current gens though 😛

[reef patrol]

Sure - I was just making a comment on how rebar was something you had to fight for back then. Uphill, both ways. In a snowstorm

[cursive summit]

Still unsure of the consensus

Rebar off or on?

Seems to be a hit or miss, like multicores

[ashen spindle]

on for amd gpus, on for nvidia but off for some things and you might want to write nvidia to fix their shit if they said its a whitelist to make sure they only add benefit which it clearly isnt

[cursive summit]

Isn't rebar a bios setting?

Seems like a major hassle to just keep toggling that in the bios if you can't just boot up a radeon software and toggle it there

[ashen spindle]

why radeon when I said for nvidia to turn it off in cases

[cursive summit]

Soz, geforce panel then

Still, same would apply with radeon if you want to turn off rebar

[ashen spindle]

yes as I said the point is nvidia put it out as if they would check it and then support it in games that benefit from it

[pale sigil]

The tip of my big deck is showing

[latent mural]

the keyboard ;

[wheat plume]

why doe Windows have 6.75GB of my Library drive used????

Windows was and never was installed to that drive

[reef patrol]

Cache

[wheat plume]

🤔

Same on the Games drive .-.

[reef patrol]

Like I said - CACHE

[wheat plume]

🤔

[ashen spindle]

dont ask why and just open explorer look whats there and then you know what it is and why

[wheat plume]

🤔

I cant open WindowsApps

idek what that could be

[ashen spindle]

then give yourself permissions...

[reef patrol]

Don't. Just...fucking don't.

You'll break so much.

[ashen spindle]

well yeah dont remove

but you can look at it

[wheat plume]

Its empty...dafuq

[reef patrol]

No just changing permissions is such a fast way to completely fuck up the Windows app store system.

Do yourself a favour and look up the pagefile/cache I showed you further up. Or at the very least go into folder settings and unhide hidden AND system files.

Should be a big, fat cache file on the root of the drive.

[wheat plume]

I always do that

[ashen spindle]

no its not empty, if you dont have permissions you dont have permissions aka it doesnt tell you how big it is

[reef patrol]

SYSTEM files

[wheat plume]

oh

theres a fucking Recycling bin in here

WHY

[reef patrol]

Because that's how Windows works, Lana...

[wheat plume]

it puts a bin on each drive

[reef patrol]

Yes... that's literally the only way to have a functional recycling bin.

[wheat plume]

o.o

[reef patrol]

"Please delete this folder of 48 gigabytes, but put it in the recycle bin"
"But I don't want a bin on the same physical drive, so please COPY it to ANOTHER DRIVE first"

I hope you see the logical flaw there 😛

[wheat plume]

..ok fair enough xd

[reef patrol]

And yes - You can disable or tweak the size of the bin on each drive. But if you disable it, there is NO file recovery

[wheat plume]

....is this why some shit I had deleted from the Library drive was still in the Recycling Bin after the reinstall????

oh wow

[reef patrol]

Anything you right click delete goes there if there's size.

And then the bin will automatically cycle through and actually "delete" anything older to keep the newest files there.

[wheat plume]

yeah I know, so the bin you access from desktop shows the contents from all bins on every drive?

[reef patrol]

yes

[wheat plume]

it must cause there was shit in there after my reinstall of Windows

strange

but neat

[reef patrol]

Literally how a recycle bin works... since... decades

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-huh-gif-18307887

[wheat plume]

The Insider build version of the MS Store app was more stable than the release version
It failed to install any app updates yesterday

[fair gull]

how does it still surprise you when you engage in lana posts

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/knocked-up-ben-stone-seth-rogen-youre-right-fine-okay-youre-right-gif-22058736

[wheat plume]

not everyone knows the technicality behind the damn recycling bin

they just know how to use it

and some dont...

https://youtu.be/gWUWNgfTRHc

[tribal dirge]

Isn’t it just using the GPT-3 api?

[wheat plume]

yes

which is why its a mistake since it can be "jailbroken"

[latent mural]

does here anyone know of a software for RGB components except SignalRGB? Im trying to avoid armoury crate due to the bloatware

[rough osprey]

not openrgb lol

[latent mural]

is open RGB safe to use?

nah i like 'RGB'

i just want everything white

ah my pc has i know i just resettet my pc avoiding armoury crate this time

its insane how much shit comes with it

[rough osprey]

reset after restart

[latent mural]

it doesnt safe settings?

[rough osprey]

bruh

[latent mural]

[rough osprey]

you could try to make planned task for every start that opens it

maybe that can work

do you not turn your pc off?

so u just go into sleep mode?

[gusty kiln]

[ashen spindle]

basically confirms what some amd exec recently said, they could've launched a 4090 competitor at insane powerdraw but they decided that wasn't the right move

difference ofc is he said it's not good for x and y but realistic its not good because it wouldn't sell to be worth it for them lol

also just shows that the TMUs are fucked for RDNA and hence its RDOA3 sadly

if they had these speeds at normal power, the suggested v cache gpus would make sense as well

quite unfortunate

[gusty kiln]

hopefully RDNA 4 fixes that but doubt they can close the gap now that nvidia are also on a strong node

also think we'll hit 100 today?

[ashen spindle]

I mean, rdna 3 is almost competing while on the same node but their physdes is fucked

so assuming both have a working thing next time, nothing speaks against amd closing the gap

so if we assume both are N3 or similar next gen to keep it simple, and both would get +50% from the new arch, then they would be tied up again

[gusty kiln]

hmmm

[ashen spindle]

because you need to look at it this way, what he is seeing at 650w was what they expected to see at 3-400w, like the 4090

[gusty kiln]

lol 7900XT being a 4080 competitor at 900 would have been decent

[ashen spindle]

well prices likely would've been different if they had been able to keep up with a 4090

[gusty kiln]

1000 and 1200

[ashen spindle]

and also what we dont know, there are plans for stacked cache on the MCDs

[gusty kiln]

stacking shit is the new hotness

[ashen spindle]

what if they had done that, it doesnt do anything for the current one, but bandwidth is likely an issue at higher clocks

now it didnt work so for consumers view it doesn't matter, but as an outlook for next gens, they definitely have the base plan to have a chance to tie or beat nvidia once again

ofc it could also fail again or even worse

but seeing an execution that has been showing to not be flawless but have the right ideas is promising

its not like a vega where shit was just cursed beyond everything

also dont think we reach 100 today lel

[gusty kiln]

also mindshare is actually weaker for AMD gpu this gen

sadge

[ashen spindle]

already sold a good chunk at last weeks peak so I would like a dip to get back in again tbh xD

[gusty kiln]

kek

better to buy bank stocks that all took a hit

because of SVB

[ashen spindle]

well that depends on what you think is happening, if it recovers or if you think it runs away and btc/gold/houses are a better thing to get for now lol

[gusty kiln]

US government won't allow such a huge domino effect to happen

[ashen spindle]

yeah I have trust in the government, which is not a thing I say a lot, but I think they will just find some corrupt way to stay afloat

not something I understand much nor do I want to, just fuck me over if it all goes down anyway

[gusty kiln]

taxpayer dollas as always

unless a train full of chemicals derails in your 50 mile radius

[ashen spindle]

stuff like amds stock I do with the part that I manage on my own, my actual savings I pay someone to manage because that's a full time job I never want to do

[gusty kiln]

ehh

[ashen spindle]

yeah I wont ever plan to buy land in the Netherlands

[ashen spindle]

is there anything those glasses can do thats akin to BFI?

just thought about it while looking at that topic elsewhere

[astral haven]

they could but currently only use it for brightness

[ashen spindle]

and surely they can't just make the entire thing black xd

[astral haven]

these glasses are alot dimmer than vr headsets tho

[ashen spindle]

also back to the 650W XTX, I wonder how far they can push it on LN2 now lol

how far does it scale

[astral haven]

lol people dont bother you if you have iems in lel

or if they try, i dont notice

tho i havent gone traveling since i got the glasses

🤷 eh i guess ive never gone on short flights

people dont bother you on trains

with the glasses they cant see you doing anything

Any good recommendations for water cooling pumps and radiators. Are reservoirs necessary?

[sharp badger]

Looks like it's the LG DualUp ergo on the left side

[empty wren]

By hoses you mean tubing?

[sharp badger]

Drain valve(s) is good to have too

[empty wren]

Alrighty

So flexible , I see

Fair enough

[reef patrol]

You definitely need a reservoir.

Because you're not a pro who can fully bleed a loop. You're going to kill the pump 😄

[empty wren]

Pump reservoir combo it is then

Not tight on space just wanted to see if fewer parts was a good idea

That seems more expensive than the heat killer option

Interesting the heatkiller uses glass

German quality

Well I was just reading

And I have heard a lot ek

Probably cuz people use their waterblocks

So when you suggested a personally unheard name I am just surprised the price is lower and the quality is better is all

[ashen spindle]

time to go for direct die cpu cooling?

[empty wren]

No 3d printer first and then I might experiment with that

But probably for the GPU for some weird reason it runs hotter than the cpu

[ashen spindle]

yes that is how it should be

if desktop cpus go to like 250w and gpus to 400+

[empty wren]

Ahhh makes sense

[ashen spindle]

Not the best comparison since that is just 12v power and the 24 pin has different rails

Wouldn’t really do much for high end anyway, doesn’t save much there

[obtuse perch]

How many gigafarts does the rtx 40000 have

[ashen spindle]

yes

[reef patrol]

Good. Most of them weren't worth the time of day anyway. Fucking SEO articles with no other purpose than to increase google ranks.

I've had to block so many websites from Google search, because they are literally just nonsense disguised as answers to issues.

also we might already know the next gen steam deck APU name

because we now know 2 apu codenames that were designed with MS but likely canned, just like van gogh that ended up in current steam deck

Sabin supposedly was something for some xbox refresh with zen4, rdna3, ml cores and Sarlacc, like that star wars monster, as zen5+rdna3/4 apu

[astral haven]

whew

valve probably wont do anything with them tho

[ashen spindle]

no just a meme since van gogh is scrapped from canned surface projects supposedly

[astral haven]

ye

speaking of surface tho

the surface laptop studio?

what a monster

[ashen spindle]

cancelling sabin would make sense though

at this point a mid gen xbox refresh would be a clusterfuck

another sku but you still have to make it run on all 3?

ps5 pro likely also not coming is what I personally would guess

but maybe an updated version of the ps5 like they alreadt did to shrink the die but keep performance same

[astral haven]

https://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/content/microsoftcorp/MSFT-Video-Surface-Laptop-Studio-RWLIQD

[astral haven]

come to think of it tho
deckARD might use one of those

[ashen spindle]

maybe

the more I think about it the more I wonder if zen4c wouldn't be a good option for that

but need to see how that actually scales first to see if that would make sense

but in theory that could help to keep powerdraw low

[astral haven]

yea

[ashen spindle]

monolithic 4core zen4c and some amount of rdna3 cus could be quite efficent

at least in theory, idk how well 4c actually does in gaming tasks

[astral haven]

thats not gonna be enough horsepower for vr tho

[ashen spindle]

I mean, compared to a snapdragon? can't imagine it being anything but amazing in comparison

[astral haven]

this will be in addition to a snapdragon lol

have you seen how cut down the games are to fit on quest?

[ashen spindle]

I know, I am working on one currently

[astral haven]

also in terms of raw compute power, snapdragon is not at all far behind at least at the same year of product release

[ashen spindle]

look at this point I wouldn't even care anymore if its not standalone as long as the wireless connection works better than the issues I have with the quest lmfao

[astral haven]

ye lol

the headset itself will (theoretically) be wireless nsa, with a replacement headstrap to convert it to stand alone

Might be the same thing again🤷‍♂️

[mild dome]

I believed the Xbox Series S was a mistake due to the fact it complicated a console lineup, made it harder for devs to make next gen products (since they had to design for the lowest common denominator), and especially because the transition between gens is already hard enough, introducing a third Series XTREME+ Pro Super would have made developers eat a bullet

Maybe Bungo sold itself to Sony so it wouldn't have to make Destiny 3 on the 3 4 6 🔟 Xbox SKUs that'll be around in the future

[empty wren]

It is a mistake in the long run

Also still weird Microsoft never thpuvht it was smarter to do a streaming box

Like wowee instead of a pc

Just buy a $100ish box

Get some some good internet

And you are on your way

Like now some smart tvs do have the Xbox cloud app

But xcloud could have came much farther

And I am not gonna lie it plays okay on decent internet when it launched

But even still Microsoft could have loaded like a 200gb ssd

And ran a Nextbit robin kind of ordeal on said box

Or at least market it as an independent low funding game system

Yeah that too is weird

I mean there is Xbox series enhanced improvements

But it is like halo infinite getting ray tracing

No big difference really

I will say though, loading of any kind did get a boost I imagine

I had a chance to use a pcie 4 nvme and it is blazing fast

Microsoft should really try to integrate mixed reality on xbox

That at least would in my opinion give consoles a bit more credit

See now if that was permanent

And if the series s was more optional to be included in big titles

It could work out

That would be the ideal situation

What would be even cooler is maybe if in the future cloud gaming could leverage a bit of local hardware

[mild dome]

I live in OZ, streaming games ain't gonna work out here for a long time

[empty wren]

For today

5G and or satellite internet needs to become more popular and lower in price while getting better speeda

[mild dome]

Satellite
Straming games
This is physically impossible

[empty wren]

Well fiber is another option

[mild dome]

Density is the primary issue
Well that and the conservative gov fucked up our infrastructure plans

[empty wren]

Speed of darkness

[mild dome]

We were meant to have fibre to everywhere
Then the liberal party got elected and downgraded it to twister copper pairs

[empty wren]

🤡

[mild dome]

The excuse was "It will be cheaper"
It wound up costing more

[empty wren]

Ah yes undo thing that exists

Then add back thing that was

[mild dome]

Tony abbot ate an onion and decided to try and destroy the infrastructure plans because he lives in the 50s and is also big friends with Rupert Murdoch the Foxtel man

[empty wren]

Copper has uses🤦beyond Internet

If anything they could have just funded African internet or something

Copper makes more sense there as this time

I think Utah has one

Not only is the price actually reasonable

Even for people who do not want to pay much

The speeds are blazing

Snazzy labs has it

Supposedly they are laying some out now, bit I trust 5G more than that overpriced limited bull

I am sure it is

But imagine at&t and Comcast saying there is an outage

And also limiting the speeds

[mild dome]

Here in Oz we at least have real competition thanks to the fact that the cable running to the home is used by all companies. However that does mean it's up to our gov to maintain the tech

If people didn't vote for the Pro-DestroyingTheGreatBarrierReefByShippingCoalStraightThroughIt party we would have been fine

5G does have a penetration problem if you want the faster mm waves

[empty wren]

That is very well known anyways, I get 300mbps with TMobile regular 5G or midend

All the more reason for big companies to hate it

At&t I think at one point was trying to sabotage esim

Because it would be very beneficial to the customer

Not to the company

Since you could just hop around the carrier so long as bands exist

And if you guys did not know lots of old phones have some embedded sims

Yeah they do a lot trickery

Like some people with current Internet plans have to go through hoops to lower the price

At&t and Comcast have some customer retention team

All cucked up to have to deal with rising prices

Lol

Yeah they are sleezballs

They are the military recruiter of selling services

[misty saffron]

i'm sorry did customer retention ASK for more money?

[empty wren]

They try to hag by making it sound they will give you a special offer, but you gotta persist to keep the same monthly price

Lol

To imagine a company can run like this

[misty saffron]

i'm so fortunate to have the only sane isp as the only option here

[empty wren]

Also funny thing locke

So not that long ago my parents payed for slowest tier comcast

And then a few months during the pandemic

People with low income got faster speeds for free

Like bruh

[crisp granite]

sometimes it pays to be poor

[empty wren]

Not only that they kept raising the price to $30

[misty saffron]

Learn how President Biden

this is russia-tier propaganda ngl

[empty wren]

Well all I mean is their free inetert was faster than the poor man's internet plan

Like bruh

It just feels like a slap in the face is all

And now we have tmovile home 5G

No contract

No price increase

And it does also go out but I think the router modem combo is at fault

[misty saffron]

(sane) russians would've been assblasted if they seen another "look how *politician_name* is doing x"

[empty wren]

Biden is cringe anyways

I think everyone agrees

[misty saffron]

makes it seem like a person is spending money out of their own pocket instead of taxpayers

[empty wren]

Yeah all Richy Richies up there

Trump at least did not take money from the government

While Obama increased his paycheck

[crisp granite]

to the tune of a quarter of a million a year

a lot to the average yank
but a genuine drop in the bucket, comparatively

[empty wren]

Well look his taxs are another story

[crisp granite]

it's truly nothing to the US for the orange fat man to refuse a million dollars for leading the free world

[misty saffron]

i mean, it's a good political statement

[crisp granite]

oh, and he's likely enjoying the pension

[frozen ingot]

the presidential salary is insignificant for the job

[empty wren]

Honestly always seems like cringe anyways, especially with like fundraisers made by rich

[empty wren]

That white house is pimped anyways

[frozen ingot]

for good reason though, the real salary is in lobbyist bribes

[empty wren]

Quite sadly true

Imagine the disappointment of the people thinking they voted them for good faith

But to be fair we do not need another Andrew Jackson at the same time

Rest in peace dead native Americans

[frozen ingot]

people should be well aware by now that all their favourite politicians are owned by whatever corporation that's the highest bidder, somehow that's not the case though

people still think the guy they're voting for is doing it for them

[empty wren]

I just do not vote

It is pointless

I also get tired of hearing people fought for this right

[frozen ingot]

politicians might not be bought out by every business in the land here but they're hopelessly incompetent instead

politics are depressing

[empty wren]

I mean there are some things I can agree with

That a lot of people get upset about

But yeah most of the time

Goes nowhere

it's a damn sticker

[rough raft]

You ordered a 26$ sticker?

Lmfao 18$ shipping

[empty wren]

Damn that ship though

You coulda just inspect elemented that image

[final flame]

there's no reason why shipping should cost 18$ for a skin, even if it's from india
shipping from Japan is literally cheaper

See if you can find a cad model online

[final flame]

it's not inspect elemented lol

Then cut your sticker

is this fully to scale though

[empty wren]

Do you have calipers

Because you can check if you do

Then you can scale it down or up

sadly no

question

i was told

if i do backlit rgb

to have switcxhes facing north

if i dont then face them south

why?

[final flame]

north facing allows more light to pass through the keycap, if it's south facing the switch will block out a bit of light

Hi guys, I am new to this discord channel. If this not the right place to questions, do let me know where to post my questions. I bought a TWO HE 2 days ago, and have some questions in mind. Hopefully you guys will be able to answer them.

1. Is the TWO HE using ARM Chip right now?
2. Tips on making TWO HE quiet? I googled about this questions and it seems like there are infinite ways to do it. Hopefully you guys can point me to the right direction.
3. How customizable is the TWO HE? Can I use other keycap brands like HyperX Pudding keycaps?

I usually have a lot of knowledge about PC stuffs, but keyboard knowledge is rank #1 from the bottom. I am currently using a soon to be 5 year old HyperX EA2, and jumping from that keyboard to TWO HE is like moving from a bicycle to a supercar. Again, thanks for your time.

[rough osprey]

4k lamzu :o

[reef patrol]

Yes it uses ARM, Yes you can change keycaps.

[cursive summit]

Blessing3 is hella cute

I just hope it's like, affordable

[misty saffron]

why are they using the nothing font

or the nothing type beat font at least

[halcyon moss]

prob because they both bought the font.

[crimson wigeon]

Nice

[ashen spindle]

uh oh, LTT channel got taken over by some btc scam lmfao

[reef patrol]

HAHAHA

That's the 2nd time.

[ashen spindle]

wonder if its their or youtubes fault

[misty saffron]

lmfao how does this keep happening

[reef patrol]

Column A, column B.

Youtube should have tools to detect this by now, because it's the same scam over and over.

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah

[reef patrol]

People need to protect their logins better.

[ashen spindle]

youtube is at fault, but question is fully or not

[reef patrol]

https://youtu.be/Db4OIBoXdVw
John did a video on it recently.

[ashen spindle]

did they get tricked or is it some breach that they couldn't cover on ltts side

[reef patrol]

Last time someone stole Linus SIM card I believe.
But this scam is often due to insecure logins that don't have 2FA, token stealing ___ware or clicking links like an idiot.

[crimson wigeon]

Nice

[misty saffron]

stole sim card? like physically?

[reef patrol]

Social engineered a new one via the phone provider.

This is why phone based 2FA is considered unsafe.

If someone takes over your phone number, they receive all of the login 2fa prompts.

[misty saffron]

sms receiving is commonly disabled for 24 hours after receiving a new copy

so no

in russia, at least

[reef patrol]

In Russia

[misty saffron]

enough time to pick up if something is wrong

[reef patrol]

It's a well known issue.

Though mostly one of not keeping track of this shit on the ISP's end and preventing fraud.

[ashen spindle]

oh boy, all videos of the last 6 years are disabled now and live section is gone

so at least someone is doing something

[reef patrol]

Yeah they always try to hide the entire channel and just host automated livestreams with link to crypto scams.

[ashen spindle]

nono the live section is also gone

so either ltt or yt are likely doing damage controll and just disabling stuff to cover it

[reef patrol]

Ah so YT got involved now.

Or they got the account back themselves.

[ashen spindle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/gigabyte-teases-4x48gb-192gb-non-binary-ddr5-6000-memory-support-on-amd-x670e-series

[cursive summit]

Damn so many videos got unprivated

On LTT's channel

I wonder what random things peeps will be able to find that Linus did not want people to know about

[ashen spindle]

its not the first time it happend

so probably nothing

ohhh the scammerrs are crafty

alll the video descriptions have the scam link

so the relisted 2010 videos that will spam peoples inbox all have the scam links lmfao

[misty saffron]

very boring things

https://youtu.be/gdUIdFuBinU

[cursive summit]

Hey now I am interested in 10 year old hurricane footage, some woman firing guns and cats/birds clips

Oh shit even more vids were unprivated

Well YouTube's privating the channel for now

So it seems details on how the hack happened are becoming clearer

Someone got remote access to the server, and they are wreaking havoc from the inside

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

Now Techlinked is hit

[cursive summit]

And techquickie

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/chaos-fire-gif-19254681

[ashen spindle]

Err yeah that one

[cursive summit]

Their whole network got whammed

[loud hemlock]

them getting into the servers seems like a bigger deal than just the channels

[cursive summit]

That could cause irreparable damage

Potentially killing the company

[ashen spindle]

Ehh doubt it

[cursive summit]

I hope they don't though

Still the website itself going under is weird

[ashen spindle]

Don’t see how it could kill them

[loud hemlock]

killing the company i dont think so, but it'll do damage for sure

[cursive summit]

So, someone got Linus's password masterlist and just connected to all their services?

[reef patrol]

Their email server probably.

And tokens etc...

[cursive summit]

Peeps would get laid off if the channels go down, as they can't work if servers get wiped

[reef patrol]

Can't wait for the inevitable 3 part video series on how LTT got pwned in two years, filled to the brim with sponsorships to pay off the massive overtime they had to pay to clean the systems.

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but YouTube ain’t permabanning the channels

[cursive summit]

I am just waiting for the WAN show to talk about this

[ashen spindle]

And if servers get wiped they have to restart but it’s not like they can’t just redo most stuff in the pipeline

[cursive summit]

Obviously not, but all of the software suites, templates, logins, local virtual OS accounts, etc

A lot of loss and will downtime them for months

[loud hemlock]

techlinked and techquickie also hit

[cursive summit]

I am very interested in how the hack happened

Cybersecurity experts rn are salivating

[loud hemlock]

short circuit probably next

[cursive summit]

They should be on the case though, it's been 2 hours since the breach

Luke himself was active 2 hours ago

[loud hemlock]

it's 4AM BC time, which doesn't help :p

[cursive summit]

If the channels get hacked it's code red, surprising it's lasted this long

[loud hemlock]

5*am

[cursive summit]

Oh shit 5 AM?

I thought they were around Ontario

It's like 8AM there

[reef patrol]

I fully expect Luke, Anthony and Jake being on site right now.

[loud hemlock]

they're in BC

[cursive summit]

Yeah I don't expect them to not sleep at 4AM

Well, I don't

[reef patrol]

[cursive summit]

Hey maybe all of those Linus's ads for shit like backups will actually be useful

[loud hemlock]

their data will most likely be fine i would say

[cursive summit]

This breach is brought to you by Unraid and Pulseway! Make sure your accounts and servers are all secure with these comprehensive security and utility suites. Click on the links down below to find out more.

[loud hemlock]

lmao

[cursive summit]

But for Linus this is prolly the biggest collab of his life

Elon and Tesla are trying to collab with him

Big up Linus on the life goals, Elon's out there livestreaming and raising awareness on his brand

[ashen spindle]

whats the worst case though, every data is wiped which means they have to refilm the videos but that just delays stuff, techquickie is news anyway so thats fast

[trim onyx]

Oh that's what the notification was from?

[ashen spindle]

sure pipeline and accounts might take a while

but no chance it kills them when its just resetting to blank

[cursive summit]

I imagine all of the ad partner templates, thumbnails, etc

Refilming will take a wee bit

[ashen spindle]

yeah but nothing close to killing the company

[cursive summit]

Scary for their income levels

Maybe they have a good financial buffer, hopefully

[loud hemlock]

people actually sending money to the scam wallets

[cursive summit]

Don't really want anyone to get fired and lose a job

[loud hemlock]

you'd think ltt viewers wouldn't be that dense

[ashen spindle]

I mean

quite the opposite lmao

[loud hemlock]

among 15m some are bound to be idiots

[ashen spindle]

some also just see the tesla part and tesla fans are idiots anyway

[loud hemlock]

facts

[cursive summit]

Wait, you guys don't buy Bitcoin?

[loud hemlock]

oh the main channel got terminated

possibly youtube locking it so they can revert stuff

[cursive summit]

Yeah like 20 mins ago or so

Defo just taking it down on YouTube's part

Will be interesting to see how fast they can recover their access and reinstate the account to how it was

[trim onyx]

Even tech based channel get hacked

[reef patrol]

They should have learned the first time though 😄

[lofty pivot]

Too many employees, someone probably got lax and messed up

[ashen spindle]

I mean I doubt its the same as from the first time

[reef patrol]

This is why you restrict access to those who actually need it.

[ashen spindle]

without knowing how it happend its hard to say who to blame

[reef patrol]

Definitely not - It's more of " well we got fucked once, let's make sure it can absolutely never happen again, from any vector "

[lofty pivot]

Probably, but we don’t know how they got in this time either

[trim onyx]

They're large enough to get resolved quickly by YouTube

[ashen spindle]

which is just not possible to cover everything

[reef patrol]

Only on the Youtube side of things.

[lofty pivot]

A lot of hacks are just people doing social engineering and that’s super hard to stop

[reef patrol]

Not saying that - But I'll bet they relaxed too much and it was a result of laziness, not dedicated hacking.

[trim onyx]

Yeah I remember ltt lost quite a bit from this

[lofty pivot]

Like the phone sms one gets done so much to random customer service workers

[ashen spindle]

for all we know someone could've social engineered the info from youtube and not ltt at all

[reef patrol]

Time will tell.

[lofty pivot]

It’s actually stupid how a lot of payment gateways only allow sms as means of 2fa too

[reef patrol]

In other news - The ultrawide Mansen saga is finally over. Finally have a monitor without issues, and both sellers finally processed refunds on the defective ones.

https://tenor.com/view/macron-thick-walking-wide-macron-wide-macron-walking-gif-17545021

[ashen spindle]

without issues (yet)

[reef patrol]

Well I had two issues.

1 being the random ass compression. Which isn't an issue here.
2 being the dead pixels. None here.

So fingers crossed eh?

[loud hemlock]

ltt forum back up

[loud hemlock]

hdr moment

[cursive summit]

I do think they actually hit the main server, website went down temporarily and the hack has now been stopped

LMG peeps on discord are now all offline

Why would they have to go offline if not to contain the breach

[loud hemlock]

could be just the forum going down because of everyone checking at once

[cursive summit]

It's all under control now it seems

[reef patrol]

We pray we never get hacked - But I have the memes ready just in case.

[ashen spindle]

because if you dont know whats going on you eliminate all optinos even if its not likely to be related

OH GOD

@LinusTech @linusgsebastian @colton_potter @adampatrickmurray knows this all to well.

Also, I bet the issue here was that each youtube channel has one point of failure. You can only have one active email in full control of an account at any one time. If people get into that, it's gone. There needs to be 3/4

We had an hour long heated debate about it.

Lana you mind boggle me at times

[wheat plume]

?

Lana, if you knew how to properly search

#🔌│tech message

[wheat plume]

thats turning a PSU on its side

different

[reef patrol]

That is literally the debate - For that very fucking PSU.

Lana ffs 😄

[cursive summit]

It feels like bullying at this point

[wheat plume]

its not the same PSU

[ashen spindle]

it is the same, the argument was about what side mounted plugs can do for cable management

[wheat plume]

Yeah, but that was taking a regular PSU and rotating it

this PSU is literally made with the ports on the side

[reef patrol]

Lana - Not reading the stuff she looks up.

[ashen spindle]

no that is what mansen showed because he has the opinion that side facing plugs on the psu are not doing anything

that was the entire discussion topic

[wheat plume]

they make it look worse

xd

[ashen spindle]

if it does benefit or not

[wheat plume]

and put strain on the connector

[ashen spindle]

and thats from february 1st

[wheat plume]

this one?

ok

[ashen spindle]

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/342767-corsair-launches-shift-psus-with-side-mounted-connectors yes

[cursive summit]

Is there more than just QoL aspect to modular PSUs, genuinely

Like, more power output or something since you don't have to power all cables just select few?

[reef patrol]

embed fail very fitting 😄

[wheat plume]

xd

[ashen spindle]

which means if you then rotate it the plug ports are on top instead of the front facing side

[wheat plume]

why you putting that in quotes? xd the back of the PSU is always the one thats connected to the power cable from the wall

[ashen spindle]

which for some cases could lessens train or other issues

[cursive summit]

Modular PSUs to me seem like a bit of a "prestige" investment considering how they are like 2x more expensive than a normal one of good quality

[reef patrol]

Cosnidering how many cables I have to deal with due to RGB, I'll happily save on 3-4 ones I don't need.

Like SATA, MOLEX and an additional 8pin for GPU, because I only need two.

[wheat plume]

I have no RPG but I still have too many cables cause non-modular ;-;

[cursive summit]

Anyone genuinely know if there's something like this?

[wheat plume]

Maybe I should swap to modular

[reef patrol]

But I'm already paying the Platinum rated price, so modular kind of comes along for free.

[ashen spindle]

good luck with non modular options if you need something else than the ones it comes with, modular usually have more choices

and they just only make modular in higher end psu areas because its not worth making two variants of the same sku

low end non modular is cheaper because bulk

[cursive summit]

Again, I am just primarily interested in the "is there more to modular than just "modular""

More power delivery per rail?

Less overall power usage?

I imagine it's the same just, pick what you want to plug in

[ashen spindle]

just modular

https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/qVhdVg6E4hsTQC6MXfrijfGQM3LwZ5xClH9vfRIaiMU/https/pics.jgregory.dev/2023/03/jYgj4BzG/Discord_WrajeTa02g.png

[cursive summit]

Still seems like a bit of a vanity flair thing

Less about function but more how does my PC look

[ashen spindle]

I dont think they make any non modular psus with good rating so doesnt matter for me

can find plat/titanium rated non modular ones

and idk if anyone would want to pay more with a good psu to have it ne not modular?

no choice with cable looks or length isn't something I'd want to pay more for lol

[zealous lake]

Modular PSU works in any system a non-modular one would
Not the other way around, so making them is kind of redundant outside of cost savings

[ashen spindle]

and wouldnt even save cost at high end probably with what you need to include and having to make both variants

Dunno how that will genuinely affect their advertising ability

I suspect not much?

[reef patrol]

It fucks with the stats and monetization of the videos hidden away.

[thick yew]

Tech linked still exists though?

[fair gull]

pretty sure the channel is also suspended atm

https://www.youtube.com/c/techlinked

dead

[thick yew]

Oh I didn't realize there was an attack

Feels bad

Why even do it though, lmg is literally an independent tech media company

[ashen spindle]

why not do it

if you scam people you take what you get

[reef patrol]

To post crypto scam videos.

[thick yew]

What does someone stand to gain from shutting down some of lmg's channels for a few days

[fair gull]

they didnt shut them down

[ashen spindle]

nono the shut down is after it got hacked to stop it

[hollow carbon]

Money ? from scams

[thick yew]

I see

I wonder how much money the scammers were actually able to make

[misty saffron]

at least 1 dollar or less, i think

[thick yew]

They do realize lmg is a large tech media company right, people subscribed to the channels aren't really the type to fall to crypto scams I'd think

[crimson wigeon]

omegalul

[misty saffron]

lol

[thick yew]

I'd hope

[cursive summit]

" people subscribed to the channels aren't really the type to fall to crypto scams I'd think"

Company about tech gets hacked

Idk man it's almost like logic doesn't apply

Shit just happens

You know what would be the most ironic thing in the world? Cloudflare getting hacked.

[ashen spindle]

15 million subs, that means most of them by statistic are not smart

[cursive summit]

Now that'd crack me up

[reef patrol]

Linus literally admitted time and time again that his channel is for a dumb audience who generally aren't interested in the indepth shit that other channels do. Doesn't mean there isn't an overlap, but those added viewers are not from the same group at all 😄

[lofty pivot]

even a smart audience you'll have some morons when it scales up in size

[hollow carbon]

i would say not really audience demographic just a numbers game as they have i think 15m subs so that is around a few million they will see the crypto scam and maybe a few thousand or hundreds fall for it
still alot of money

[lofty pivot]

even if only 1 in 100 viewers is dumb enough to do that it's still what like 20k people who would fall for something like that

if an average audience is say 2 million

[shadow minnow]

Wan show will be fun

[shadow minnow]

Well, it’s still not fully dumb audience, sometimes you just enjoy general tech news, and then watch other stuff elsewhere. Like I always watch wan show, just to waste my time somehow

[reef patrol]

Allow me to rephrase - simple, casual, naive.

[ashen spindle]

yes bexin generalizations never fully apply to every single person in the group

[marsh glade]

I have a weekly ritual where i listen to wan show while cleaning my house and doing other household chores

[shadow minnow]

Calling your coworkers dumb mansen, smh

[marsh glade]

Applying generalisations about when generalisations apply generally... Smh

[reef patrol]

I have a youtube backlog every day that I need to watch focused - Because I can put something on and completely zone it out seconds later if I'm doing something else.

I wait for each WANshow to have timestamps and skip through it only getting the parts I care about.

[shadow minnow]

For me I always multitask

So I almost always have a video in background

[reef patrol]

I can't - sadly 😄

[shadow minnow]

For me I have to sadly

And well it’s sadly because I always run out of videos to watch

Like I watched almost every single video from some channels, just in background

[reef patrol]

I am on part 21 of a 40-50 something series of a Total War : Warhammer 3 campaign (each episode is just under an hour) and if I set it to play while working, I will have missed 3-4 episodes without noticing.

My brain just blanks it out. Even if it's loud.

[shadow minnow]

I mean my brain doesn’t fully focus but I still need something in background

[pale sigil]

Oh same - I use music. But I can't "listen" to it. It's just noise. I can't focus on two things.

[shadow minnow]

Screwed up a bit lol

Couldn’t remove the stuck solder no matter what

So after time melted plastic trying

[trim pond]

Is there anyway to connect an analog stick to the wooting software? I would like something more my thumb.

[empty wren]

There are solder vacuums, just so you know for next time

[pale sigil]

I'll.be honest.

[shadow minnow]

You listen to Daughter?

[pale sigil]

I'm the same except for Netflix, for some reason I've mastered the ability to watch shoes while gaming or something.

Depends on what I'm doing tbf

[vagrant pagoda]

And solder wick

[empty wren]

That would help with a manual pump for sure

[shadow minnow]

Even when I was like 10 I had this habit of always having to have some voice in background unless reading, whenever it’s a song or video

[reef patrol]

Nope.

[ashen spindle]

no

[shadow minnow]

Have one, didn’t help sadly

[empty wren]

Well if you can afford an automatic one

Those just work

Otherwise just keep practicing the manual ones do work just a bit tricky at first

What you could also do is a bit of solder

[wheat plume]

holy fuck

The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with 120W charger

headphone jack too!

Sadly, only Android updates to 14 ;-;

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume I need a new phone btw

[wheat plume]

price?

[pale sigil]

300-500 max

[gusty kiln]

Wait for pixel 7a maybe

[wheat plume]

^

was about to say

[gusty kiln]

Going to have 90hz

[wheat plume]

is it??

I doubt it

otherwise the price would be too high for the A series

a 90hz screen costs 100 euro according to Google

[gusty kiln]

At least from the rumors

[gusty kiln]

Yeah but probably offsetting the cost using their own soc now

And plenty of cheapo Chinese phones can get 90hz at 200usd

The gotta compete at some point

[wheat plume]

yeh but this is Google, they will charge a lot more for any extra than basic features

more than 60hz? 100 euro extra!

[gusty kiln]

90hz for $499 phones is reasonable

[astral haven]

They can't do that in the modern day tho

They have to be competitive

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

Plenty of whispers says 90hz

[wheat plume]

Pixel 6A isd 460 Euro with just 60Hz screen

[astral haven]

Also upgrading from 60 to 90 is slot less of a price difference for oled

[wheat plume]

Why is the 6 and 6 Pro the same price as the 7 and 7 Pro on their website?!

Who gonna buy last year phones for the same price as the new ones?

[empty wren]

The 7 line is on sale

[wheat plume]

Maybe in America xd

[empty wren]

Oh

[gusty kiln]

If I wasn't already using a S20FE with 120hz, pixel 7a with 90hz would be very attractive

[empty wren]

90hz is still good though, android has weird scrolling stutters

[wheat plume]

I only got scroll stutter on MIUI

on Pixel ROM its real smooth

[gusty kiln]

[empty wren]

I notice it on YouTube discord ect

[gusty kiln]

Is it me or does Wendell look like he lost a lot of weight?

[empty wren]

Even in the settings it was present at 60hz but that might be another issue rather than app directly related

[gusty kiln]

His head looks less wide

[ashen spindle]

he got a tick bite and had to cut away basically everything thats fun in food lol

so yeah that leads to very quick health changes

[pale sigil]

Need it before April 14th

XD

[gusty kiln]

Damn wtf

[ashen spindle]

ye

gluten free sugar and probably food free food only

no meat i think

idk if temporary or forever dont remember in detail

[gusty kiln]

Amd finally back above 100

[gusty kiln]

Either whatever samsung A series phone or pixel 6a

Unless you're willing to go Chinese

[pale sigil]

Samsung a phones are just a big na

[gusty kiln]

Then there are thousands of options

Maybe motorola?

[pale sigil]

I asked Lana mostly to annoy her

But also because she knows what I like

[ashen spindle]

if its just for the meetup borrow some phone and then get something else when you actually need one

[pale sigil]

More I'm sick of having a shitty battery and if I got a new phone it may as well be before I leave

Yesterday I was traveling with no phone

[wheat plume]

Essential

[crimson wigeon]

It's probably essential for some

[final flame]

And should be banned for all

[wheat plume]

They are essential for spying and brainwashing, I guess that is what they mean

[cold tendon]

Essential for them getting your data

[gusty kiln]

Framework finally offering amd for their laptops

[pale sigil]

Hell yes

[cursive summit]

So, LTT should be fine

[astral haven]

Ooh you can reply to stuff by dragging from the right on mobile
Since when?

[cursive summit]

Lol what

Why me, the reply

[astral haven]

Cause I noticed on your message

Me likey if this is a new feature

[cursive summit]

Ah, on discord?

[astral haven]

Ye

[cursive summit]

That has been a thing for a long time I think?
