just not evading them to illegal levels or have enough to matter

[lyric hatch]

no cayman islands bank account?

[unkempt lake]

tmw i'm probably gonna have to like pay taxes this year
I used to get some munmunz from the gov for living in the middle of nowhere and like getting educated and staying here cuz welp my area has a population that tends to well leave

But now it's been a few years and i'm no longer eligible

[lone plank]

If I planned to kill someone but the court case ended as not guilty. I didn’t do anything wrong then

[unkempt lake]

Technically you'd be innocent yes

[lone plank]

[cursive summit]

If you said you are planning to kill someone, that's a terroristic threat

So, just think about it, don't say it

[lyric hatch]

idk if planning to kill a single person falls under "terroristic threat"

[leaden kiln]

jury nullification 😇

[unkempt lake]

Ok guys what's the best way to commit murder and get away with it

[cursive summit]

I thought that, until you read what the legal statutes say and yes, that is a terroristic threat

"Wait, wdym terroristic threat, they didn't want to blow anything up" -> Reads up -> "Ah, I see"

[unkempt lake]

Probably depends on the country

[cursive summit]

In U.S

[unkempt lake]

There's a death threat and a terroristic threat

2 different things

[cursive summit]

Terroristic threat is essentially the voicing of a threat of causing bodily harm with the intent to carry out the threat

Claiming to want to murder somebody will prolly get filed under terroristic threat

[lyric hatch]

"A terroristic threat is a serious act that involves threatening to commit a crime with the intent to: Intimidate or coerce a civilian population, Influence government policy, Affect government conduct, and Cause a reasonable fear of the crime being committed."

[cursive summit]

Broad definition

[lyric hatch]

not that broad

[cursive summit]

It's usually applied to people that just yell "I'll fucking kill you" and act aggressive

I've watched enough courtroom videos to have seen plenty of the type, here's an example https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SOtsXeDg7b4?feature=share

Also why is this in tech talk

[unkempt lake]

I have no idea

[lyric hatch]

well on a more tech related note I would like one of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb7bz075Vw4

[unkempt lake]

Kvms my beloved

huh cool

forza got a patch

for more ray tracing

game had RT reflexions/shadows and RTAO but no RTGI

wonder how that's gonna run on my 7900xtx i was already getting pretty good framerates with the other RT effects and just used AFMF2 to make the game look smoother as well it's hard capped to 60fps in multiplayer cuz of crossplay

[lyric hatch]

why the cap in crossplay

[unkempt lake]

xbox is capped at 60

so they cap pc too

physics engine

can result in corners being taken slightly differently

itsa for consistency

the difference is literally minimal

but it's a racing game and 1 second can be what separates a winner from a loser

[stable sedge]

indeed

nah but like i meant i made sure the coffee that spilt on the like plate above the pcb didn't go to the pcb itself

is that rly a thing

[unkempt lake]

@cursive summit trying indiana jones on nico's pc the 2080 is handling it... really well

[cursive summit]

Res?

[unkempt lake]

1440p dlss quality

Medium textures

Rest is on high

[cursive summit]

Yeah it'll do fine

[unkempt lake]

And he's getting like 75fps

[cursive summit]

It's only on high textures and above that the 8GB VRAM pool gets exhausted

Medium seems the recommended setting on 8

[unkempt lake]

Ye it's what i made him set it to

Also game still looks incredible even on medium

[cursive summit]

Put it on high and watch it tank

[unkempt lake]

i think he'd rather enjoy the game

[cursive summit]

Btw, what's Nico

[unkempt lake]

The manthing i married @glass stag

[glass stag]

Good evening

[cursive summit]

The what

[unkempt lake]

yes

[unkempt lake]

he lurks around here sometimes people remember he exists

[cursive summit]

I'm guessing husband then

[unkempt lake]

yep

[glass stag]

Yes lol

[cursive summit]

Oki doki, good to meet you Nico-nini

[unkempt lake]

Pretty sure you met him before and just forgot

[cursive summit]

I remember the name

I had no clue who they are

Nico is just short for Nicholas right?

[glass stag]

Short for Nicolai

[cursive summit]

Ahh, Russian

Nikolai

[unkempt lake]

I imported him from denmark actually

[glass stag]

Danish

[unkempt lake]

A few years ago

[cursive summit]

Close enough

[glass stag]

I'm a Lego man

[cursive summit]

You danes are multiplying too fast, first Mansen now Nico

There's already enough duck people on this ship

[unkempt lake]

Sadly they won't be full danes, only half danes

half french canadian half danish

the horror

the results will be terrifying

[lone plank]

Well it already happen

[lone plank]

No lol

[cursive summit]

American?

I'm opening up the FBI tip form if you are

[unkempt lake]

put tips in the tip jar

[stable sedge]

so what do i do

[jaunty rose]

Yo Im doing some research for my little brother since he wants a hall effect board after trying my 80he, what would be a good hall effect keyboard for his budget of $130?

[cursive summit]

KB65HE?

Idk I got a mouse from EGG and it's pretty nice

They are parroting off of Wooting and basically just copy all the features like software and switch tech, Rapid Trigger, SOCD, etc

Seem a lot more trustworthy either way than shit like Drunkdeer

[jaunty rose]

Thanks I’ll check it out, still open for more recommendations if anyone wants to chip in

[cursive summit]

Here's a list of keebs by speed and accuracy criteria https://www.rxddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1eiz1io/the_most_complete_review_sheet_for_hall_effect/#lightbox

Noteworthy that they got the Wooting stats wrong, it's worse than it really is

Check out the better ones I guess, Varmilo, Keychron, Red Dragon and NuPhy are familiar names to me

I mean, I'm typing on a keychron rn lol, very nice keyboards they have for affordable prices, though iirc the HE models are expensive though you'll have to check

Tf is a "Looting" anyways, that's a trademark infringement

Also this is okay https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/19de2bx/list_of_hall_effect_keyboards_2024/

Someone's also made a cool board sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRZ2fwIFSMtD5NstkBw-ztEqQw5Ku3unTAyN1hgXyS2yIOp4D1J3lncBersDdH4eM2EjCgNLUhc2sti/pubhtml

Prices included

[leaden kiln]

Am I just bad at redditing or did they not post anything about how they did the tests
Also is it the same for 60he arm and avr

[cursive summit]

There's no real difference between ARM and AVR in functionality

AVR simply was obsolete and its production prices were high, Wooting moved on to ARM which had a lot more futureproofing potential

[cursive summit]

And yeah they didn't post anything about how they did the tests, cause they did not do any tests

It's an aggregate of just a bunch of online sources that person found

[leaden kiln]

I don't care about the architecture I was wondering about any latency difference between the two

[cursive summit]

Wooting value is taken from Rtings apparently, who I don't believe correctly tested the Wooting correctly

[leaden kiln]

I didn't see a list of their sources either

[cursive summit]

They only started listing individual ones once they got called out

[leaden kiln]

and they called this 'the most complete review sheet', crazy

[cursive summit]

The most complete review sheet is Rtings

And even then I doubt their findings

What

I have not heard of this

[leaden kiln]

Then why did you post this as buying advice if it's even worse

[cursive summit]

Don't shoot the messenger

They can do their own research

[unkempt lake]

ayyy 7900xtx runs the new RTGI pretty darn well

[fair gull]

same

and every time they come up i wanna know who started that rumor

[trim crane]

I just dont like how the Q HE or K HE series had to use the KS-37 switches, and how they only work with the keychron ones and no other KS-37 switches

[fair gull]

are their switches reverse polarity to ours?

[trim crane]

thats like 3 switches

yeah it seems like it

[fair gull]

if so its prob just some firmware adjustment theyd need unless their choice of HE sensors cant deal with it properly

[trim crane]

I have a Q1 HE and wooting kbs

so I could run experiments on it since it is open source via QMK

[fair gull]

i imagine the sensor values are just none sense if you use our lekkers for example

truly sad if its just unsupported reverse polarity though

[trim crane]

btw I think my friends 80HE should be here today

I bought it for him since he didnt have a credit card

He got the black zinc version, hes jumping from the clicky razer blackwidow v2 TKL tournament edition

[fair gull]

oh boy

[trim crane]

his kb is on life support

[fair gull]

i jumped from the original blackwidow chroma to w2 flaretech when the kickstarter shipped

crutches to sportscar

[trim crane]

I knew about wooting since the wooting one

[fair gull]

https://tenor.com/view/saido-chesto-machio-kazzter-dumbbels-anime-gif-16026924

me when i moved to wooting

and shed away razer synapse

[trim crane]

i think for me it was K70 TKL Champion series speed silver to 60HE+

technically 80HE but the 60HE+ arrived sooner

[fair gull]

crap

i wanted to unbox my 80he cases today

[trim crane]

and damn I thought 60% was gonna suck to use but wooting actually made it FUN TO USE

[trim crane]

any update on whether I can buy a friction fit pad yet through customer support or on the website?

wait I sent this in the wrong channel 😭

[fair gull]

all good this once. and no

i can maybe sneak it in the meeting tomorrow and ask

[trim crane]

cheers bro

[balmy totem]

did wooting 80he have 0.1mm options?

or only 0.15 minimum

[lofty pivot]

For rt 0.15, but they said they have a working 0.1 internally so 0.1 should be coming at some point

[magic minnow]

Ummmm idk where this would get posted in https://in.tern.et/en-us/products/winrar-archive-messenger-bag-tern®

lol

It’s sold out already 150$

That’s like 1 million AUD

[fair gull]

apparently very soon

[trim crane]

Also the screws that come with the optimum case, do they use silicone? I wanna do a mod like that to my current screws

[fair gull]

silicone?

oh you mean the burger mount?

[reef patrol]

The standoff cover bits.

[steady sail]

[distant tapir]

I had this but couldn't get it to work well passively for my setup.

[magic minnow]

Awww it sounds really cool on paper

[distant tapir]

I had a 100% passive build. Had there been just a little bit air pushed by even a case fan it might have worked. But if you have even just one fan then I see no reason to pick a passive air-cooler.

I tried to run a fully passively cooled 5950X build but it did not work as expected.

Hold on, AMD Maple?

The one that was also in Steam's Fremont leak?

Is Steam actually giving me what I want and including a hyper powered APU in a tiny box

[magic minnow]

Steam Box

[cursive summit]

That's what I said yes

[reef patrol]

A so called... Steam... Engine.

https://tenor.com/view/train-railway-trem-locomotiva-gif-18466139

[cursive summit]

I am honestly very interested in Halo, this might mark the beginning of combined silicon for consumers where CPUs and GPUs are just an APU on an integrated motherboard

And those are some very interesting times, no more huge PCs, they will fit in your palm

[magic minnow]

Wouldn’t that be like super pricey

[cursive summit]

They will be, but so is a normal CPU and a GPU

[magic minnow]

You got me there lol

[cursive summit]

This will be prioritizing form factor

Damn imagine, a device that plays all of your games at QHD with high graphics that you can just pick up into your palm and just slot into a pocket or backpack

Good times...

Not necessarily

Obviously that directly relates to cooling, the more watts you do, the more perf you get, however laptops already have 120W GPUs and can cool them just fine

Iirc a full size RTX 4060 is like 100 something watts?

You can cool that with some strong fans in a small box

I never said handheld

I specifically am talking about NUCs

Those can be a lot more lenient in their dimensions and still fit in your backpack

I don't particularly care about handhelds lol, I fascinate about NUCs

You can have a palm width NUC that is the height of your foot, and that will be easily enough to fit a strong cooling system that will be extremely compact, very portable and very strong

120W it'll cool easily

U.S. law enforcement wants access to encrypted iPhone content

Oh, so Apple is actually not the bad guy here

Rare occasion I will side with Apple on I guess

[reef patrol]

Yeah it's a classic attempt at fearmongering politicians to vote against end to end encryption as always.

[magic minnow]

Idk why if the guy who’s gonna get put in charge of the fbi doesn’t believe that they should do any intelligence gathering

[cursive summit]

End to end is awesome, it sends governments into panic

I wish I actually needed to use Signal or Telegram, cool services, no need to use them

[ashen spindle]

Lmao telegram is not secure xD

[cursive summit]

How so?

Telegram has an E2EE mode and they don't really have friends in U.S government

[ashen spindle]

That you need to manually enable and only works on 1:1 chats and we don’t quite know if they don’t have backsides given there are some sus arrests and ties to Russia etc

[cursive summit]

Yeah well it doesn't impact me much either, I don't see the point in using Telegram or Signal

Virtually nobody use those that is a "normie"

[ashen spindle]

Well telegram just doesn’t really offer anything above WhatsApp so no point

[cursive summit]

It used to offer EMPRESS's group

@vagrant pagoda what's your preferred method of remoting into your server?

[vagrant pagoda]

I just use ssh tunnel

[vagrant pagoda]

Or it's just a nsa/via honeypot

[digital grotto]

can i change the rt display rgb?

or is it default to green and red

[reef patrol]

Can't change it. It's for diagnostics

[digital grotto]

ok thx

[halcyon moss]

Is there any other way than ssh? :p

Okok, kubectl shell

[minor citrus]

is mosh still a thing?

[halcyon moss]

Yes. But that's just fancy ssh

[unkempt lake]

Law enforcement is also upset at apple cuz welp the phone does an automated reboot every few days at night to mess up any type of unauthorized access

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/iphones-now-auto-restart-to-block-access-to-encrypted-data-after-long-idle-times/amp/

[astral haven]

yea samsung added that with android 14 and it is really nice to see apple doing it as well

[trim crane]

I noticed that my S20 Ultra does that

I have to enter my password manually every 3 days

[astral haven]

can turn off the first option and just have it restart between saturday and sunday so it doesnt happen on weekdays

[halcyon moss]

That's been a future for a long time already

[reef patrol]

I wish my OP had told me. Was lowkey getting paranoid about why it would act like it had rebooted out of the blue overnight at times.

[halcyon moss]

I've never seen my s21u reboot itself though

[minor citrus]

oh so that is a hard restart and not like the iOS thing only after 72hrs of no unlocks happening? I can see how that would annoy people

[reef patrol]

For me it's the same end result. I wake up and it asks me for my pin instead of my face 😄

Which I mean... fair. I don't always look like me in the morning.

[astral haven]

2 different things, apple is just now getting auto restart

[rough osprey]

i mean pretty different feature

[astral haven]

if it works the same way and acheives the same result, why call it "different feature"

[ashen spindle]

?

[unkempt lake]

Available for MSRP in Canada

You said they'd be pricier

[ashen spindle]

the AiB cards are and the LE is limited and they wont make more

[unkempt lake]

6 cad more expensive than the us pricing is pretty damn good

[ashen spindle]

I just said I have no clue if they sell the limited edition outside of the US

[unkempt lake]

Well seems like they're selling it

[ashen spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ still only going to be limited so doesnt matter much

[gusty kiln]

Whatchu think of One UI 7?

Also the r2r

[cursive summit]

Not B770 - not interesting

And they didn't even talk about the bigger card

[gusty kiln]

https://www.techpowerup.com/329684/usd-30-000-music-streaming-server-is-the-next-audiophile-dream-device

Gross margin that would even make Nvidia blush

[ashen spindle]

why would a store talk about products in the first place

and we dont even know if we get b770

[analog sinew]

"featuring 6,000 precisely machined holes acting as "waveguides" that supposedly attenuate emissions by 81 dB—a 10,000-fold reduction. "

[astral haven]

pretty happy so far, except they broke trackpad acceleration in dex 😦
and the r2r i pretty much cant tell at all

its working great, but it doesnt sound that different from the sdacb

[gusty kiln]

Fiio made a streamer that stacks perfectly with the K11, which they made the same with the K7

[astral haven]

meh, i have a chromecast and hdmi to toslink

[vapid ruin]

Ancient tech

[final flame]

this was a feature long before android 14 on samsung

[astral haven]

doesnt surprise me, but its where i first saw it

[pale sigil]

Long before is a bit of a stretch

[final flame]

the restart when needed I'm pretty sure was added somewhat recently, but the scheduled restart has been a thing for a while

was hidden under a submenu

Looks cool.

Love dumbphones.

How big is it?

[magic minnow]

132.9x63.4x17.3 mm

Really chunky looking

[distant tapir]

Kinda want one.

Wait is it a modern phone or many years olde?

[reef patrol]

Modern. It's a new trend in Asia.

[umbral heron]

I like that trend
Not pushing towards ever so thinner phones with ever so smaller bezel

[magic minnow]

2019 ;3;

[distant tapir]

I went without a smart phone a while ago. Bought a modern new Nokia phone.

My only big issue was that I had to get a dedicated portable music player. BUT the good ones are essentially just smartphones without call functionality.

[magic minnow]

Maybe it did have a 2020 release

It’s just called Samsung W2019/W2020

[reef patrol]

I kind of dig this trend.

[fair gull]

im not yet convinced of the inside screen durability

[umbral heron]

Well, while it's way better than it used to be, you can still dent it with a fingernail

They're being sold in massive markets in Asia, so hopefully they'll learn to improve them for our weak and careless western fingers 🙂

[umbral heron]

I want a dumphone with auth apps working on it

[distant tapir]

Yeah auth apps is the big problem. I need them for Canvas (uni page)

So wtf do I do without a phone that can do that?

Is the only option to run the auth thing on Bluestacks on a PC?

[digital cliff]

you get a security key and do away with app authentication

or a token-generator device

basically a keychain

[umbral heron]

I don't think Steam supports FIDO2

[digital cliff]

i just use it for my password manager and my mail

[reef patrol]

Yeah should be able to get something like this for multiple keys as an alternative to Google's key app and such.

[digital cliff]

everything else is single-factor and most likely that's good enough

[fair gull]

how are token apps single factor

[digital cliff]

then there's proton who don't let me have security key authentication without first enabling app auth

[umbral heron]

For TOTP sure, not for Steam Guard

[distant tapir]

Used these for our banks recently but they just became obsolete

[digital cliff]

that's not what I claimed, read the context

[distant tapir]

So now it's own a smart phone or get fucked boomer sadly

[reef patrol]

This is essentially a backup in case my phone dies, so I can transfer the app to a new phone without having to visit the municipal and answer security questions.

[fair gull]

ok im still not sure if you replied to mansens image and text or the stuff before

[digital cliff]

i didn't reply to anyone

I sent two messages and someone sent something in-between

[reef patrol]

Had to go through that two years ago. Lost my phone, and didn't have a valid passport - so I was unable to log into my bank or state email systems for almost a month 😄

[steady sail]

Im not even surprised

Lots of ppl not willing to upgrade their pc just to use another version of windows

[umbral heron]

Is TPM 2.0 even needed for anything more than BitLocker?

[steady sail]

[umbral heron]

Also a lot of people doesn't even know that their CPUs have inbuilt TPM module, should be enabled by default

[steady sail]

Idk about mine

As the last time i was in the bios when I reinstalled windows

Tho im still thinking about switching to Bazzite for fun

As it a fairly easy to understood OS

[umbral heron]

Bazzite is kinda fun, I tried it the other day

[steady sail]

Even for someone like me who never used Linux

[umbral heron]

I'm waiting for whatever Valve is cooking with SteamOS

[crimson wigeon]

Bazzite is currently on my deck, not really liking how every single update is like several gigs

[nimble arch]

It's required for Vanguard to run on Windows 11 but I'm not sure if the anti-cheat actually uses it for any functions.

[umbral heron]

Oh, right, may be for VBS bypass

Does VBS even needs TPM?

[steady sail]

I dont mind that lol

[umbral heron]

Either way, if the game needs that level of control over PC, I don't really feel comfortable playing it

Yeah, and CrowdStrike is cybersecurity focused
Rito and other companies are just game developers/publishers

[nimble arch]

Well, they're updating Vanguard to no longer run from boot on W11 24H2

Assuming you have all the security stuff enabled correctly

[ashen spindle]

Microsoft is working on moving things out side of the kernel it’s just a question of when

[nimble arch]

They've also said they're not breaking kernel-level access

[steady sail]

With windows 15 the last windows

[umbral heron]

Well yeah, SB+VBS should be enough for it
And they can attach to drivers for DMA whenever they want anyway

[nimble arch]

Because they simply can't block everything from having kernel-level access due to a settlement made with the EU

[ashen spindle]

https://www.darkreading.com/endpoint-security/microsoft-boosts-device-security-windows-resiliency-initiative was the last update I saw for it

[nimble arch]

It's not an issue on macOS because Apple never provided kernel-level access to begin with.

[ashen spindle]

They can’t block it but they seem to move it to something like eBPF on Linux

[nimble arch]

Sucks for Linux gaming though as every game that moves to something like Vanguard or EAAC just doesn't run under Proton at all.

[crimson wigeon]

macOS has kernel extensions though, although Apple says pls don't use them, will probably be removed entirely soon

[nimble arch]

EA's in-house anti-cheat has slowly been backported into more of their library plus has some of the same platform security requirements when running under Windows 11.

[umbral heron]

Well, should Windows move to eBPF, then adapting Linux and Proton for anti-cheats would be not-that-hard-and-time-consuming

[nimble arch]

I don't think many publishers are currently interested in actually supporting their anti-cheat solutions for Linux

Epic have never done it. EA have been porting EAAC into more games and they've also disabled Apex/EAC running under Proton/WINE. Rockstar added BattlEye to GTA5 and broke online for Linux.

[umbral heron]

That's because it's quite time and money consuming
Adapting userland anti-cheats is quite easy, hence why most of them work

[fair gull]

cant use kex without disabling security features on new macos versions

[nimble arch]

I feel like we're entering a phase of anti-cheats getting better at the cost of Proton/WINE support.

[crimson wigeon]

Yes hence the bit in my message after the comma

[fair gull]

im not sure about the removal thing

[nimble arch]

Which sucks because Linux gaming has gotten really good and we're almost there with HDR support etc

[crimson wigeon]

Easy, just drop those games, a lot of them mostly just exist to make you miserable tbh

[umbral heron]

Respawn made Linux basically a scapegoat for cheating problem, it's just as bad as it used to be
And Rockstar didn't solve cheating problem at all, modders are still all over the place, all BattlEye allows them to do is to detect who may have cheated and ban them, so cheaters will be forced to buy a new copy

[umbral heron]

Well yeah, that is true too

[nimble arch]

Public lobbies are a lot better in GTA Online though

BattlEye has done a good enough job

[fair gull]

lol no

[steady sail]

Nah

[nimble arch]

Some of it is just fundamentally bad game design in how the P2P game sessions work though

There's way too much trust in the game clients

Also R* print money with that game, why can't they just provide dedicated servers

[fair gull]

because theyd print less money

[crimson wigeon]

That would require effort

We'll see how it is in the next one, will probably still be janky P2P

[fair gull]

id guess so

i dont see why theyd change smth that "works" for them

[umbral heron]

And most of the playerbase don't really care

[ashen spindle]

Respawn made Linux a scapegoat but sadly there are quite a lot of cases where you can just go to common hacking boards and the first posts are pinned messages on how to run Linux or VMs and abuse it to disable AC

[umbral heron]

Sure, it was a marginally easier method to execute and way easier to maintain after all
VM detection would be enough, you can do that on Linux too

[ashen spindle]

It’s not about VM detection if you ran it just in Linux you still had it wayyyy easier to hack in apex

Simply due to the way proton handled certain things

[umbral heron]

Either way, moving cheat detection out of client-side would be ideal
Or game creating its own, VM-like, secure environment to run in
We can run VMs with near-native performance nowadays

[ashen spindle]

True but the much cheaper and easier solution is block a fraction of players that had a insanely disproportionate amount of cheaters

And you can’t really have skill issues as easily when you block something vs doing something advanced just for that to cost more and still fail

[umbral heron]

Thankfully they removed support just about when game started to become really crap

It shows that core Respawn team is long gone, and EA just wants to milk it until it dies

Although kinda funny
Respawn founders ran away from Activision because they were tired of AV's greed
And they went to EA of all other companies

[ashen spindle]

Unfortunately it does in this case promote the view Linux is mostly used by cheaters

[umbral heron]

One game goes, one comes
NetEase released update for NEAC to make sure that Marvel Rivals and all their other games will work on Linux
Delta Force team said they actively work on Linux support too

[modern sky]

most people using linux to cheat do so to avoid hvid bans

linux has nothing to do with it

[ashen spindle]

That’s just not the case especially for apex

[modern sky]

the only way I could see for linux users to get a good anticheat support is for them to willingly install closed source tracking, so hwid bans are possible

unironically the lack of tracking is whats the downfall of Linux for gaming since you need at least some to enforce fair play rules

[umbral heron]

Could be open source with necessary authentication and verification if it's been modified

[ashen spindle]

It’s not related to hwid at all it was a big thing for apex because the way proton translates certain calls from the anti cheat made it much easier or even possible in the first place to avoid certain checks

[modern sky]

cool, but please stop spreading a stereotype of linux is only used by cheaters beacase at the end of the day its just a tool and its much more than a "hacking toy" for script kiddies

[ashen spindle]

If you read what you replied to I am saying unfortunately because in this case it’s simply the truth that the amount of cheaters on Linux was disproportionally higher

[modern sky]

dude

do you have any idea how easy it is to install it in the first place ?

[ashen spindle]

What, apex cheats?

[modern sky]

no, linux itself

[ashen spindle]

Im talking about this case not every game

[umbral heron]

Well sure
May be same amount of cheaters on Linux and Windows, but proportions are way off

[ashen spindle]

Very specifically apex

[modern sky]

in my opinion its still a low blow from the community itself tbh, like some community members should've tried to help patch it up since proton is a community project

so yeah im here with you on this one

[ashen spindle]

Big amount of cheats that were free only worked on Linux for apex and windows usually only had paid cheats that did less

[modern sky]

on one hand "why would players fix devs mistakes" on the other hand thats what proton was all about from the start

[ashen spindle]

Well they didn’t and it’s been a loooong standing issue

[modern sky]

yeah i can see where ur comming from

I wonder how many of those cheats have viruses designed to attack clear installs like evilgnome

[ashen spindle]

And if respawn don’t have the skill to fix it in the first place the best bandaid sadly is stop <5% of the playerbase when that includes >40% of cheats

[modern sky]

tbh

its kinda on Linux users to play mp games with agressive anti cheats to begin with

its not 2015, we have nvmes

re booting into windows takes like 20 seconds

[umbral heron]

Respawn and fix
Both Titanfalls were unplayable for years because they didn't bother to fix hackers on multiplayer issue

[modern sky]

I do beacause I run linux as well as debloated windows on a separate hard drive

im not doing anything illegal so i dont care about opsec in this sense and i know that its an opsec risk but i genuenly do not care

whenever I want to play games I just reboot into windows with steam in big picture mode

[umbral heron]

Bazzite

[modern sky]

dude

[distant tapir]

sneed

[modern sky]

im sorry but i just find your opinion wrong and way of thinking too backwards with the tools we had for a while

I understand and appreciate the progress linux community has done to get the games running

but when i noticed their endgame being windows virtual machines with gpu passthrough

thats when i cringed a little

and its fine i wont call you one

I use linux most of the time, its either Linux or big picture steam debloated windows for me

[umbral heron]

I haven't used Windows in 3 years now
Happy with Proton

[modern sky]

Im finding myself using it less and less, once i get a better pc I probably wont have a need to use windows since right now its purely for performance

I remember going back from online classes and codding from home on linux to going back to class rooms with awful windows 10 pcs ;-;

that was pure hell and i get why so many people just stick by linux, the customization is just far superior, like you cant even put your task bar on top anymore without tweaking windows 11 xD ( and the tweak might get purged any update )

[umbral heron]

I just use almost stock Plasma

[modern sky]

Im writing my awesomeWM profile for a while now

changing to a 60% keyboard kinda doesnt help beacause its very keyboard heavy but its cozy

[umbral heron]

I use 80HE and 2 UwUs nowadays

[modern sky]

I was tempted to get a 80HE but i like pushing myself out of comfort zones

Im kind of like a masochist ? as in I learned most of what I know by pain xD

[vapid ruin]

Why do I feel like the final issue for Linux gaming is cheater

[magic minnow]

Cause all Linux users are cheaters

[modern sky]

the cheater dylema is quite bigger than whats on the surface

[magic minnow]

They got banned on windows and migrated

[vapid ruin]

really putting me off playing online game in general and just play with a focus group of friend.

[reef patrol]

Linux is cheating is just a cheap company like that makes idiots think it deters cheating, and it's less work to maintain.

[modern sky]

the truth is anti cheats dont get that many resources put into them beacause its much better to make a half assed product and get those devs back onto games

meaning there is no time to think about Linux

[magic minnow]

Tim Sweeney said Linux bad

[ashen spindle]

It’s just chicken egg problem why spend millions on something a tiny fraction of your playerbase would use

[reef patrol]

And that goes in an endless vicious cycle. Can't grow a playerbase, if you won't allow it to.

[fair gull]

wonder if the amd bc250 would make a great micro pc for an emu station in the living room

[modern sky]

I sense a huge wave of new linux users coming soon

around when windows 10 loses its support

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but you aren’t getting new players you are mostly making it possible for windows games that want Linux so you don’t grow your actual users

[crimson wigeon]

I wonder https://sober.vinegarhq.org/ is a thing for running Roblox on Linux, it works by running the Android version.. why can't we just do the same with Fortnite 🤔 to really show them

[reef patrol]

We'll never know, since it can't happen either way.

[ashen spindle]

We know just because of install bases lol

[modern sky]

personally I would just avoid epic games and their products as a Linux user tbh

they actively spit in the communitys face

[reef patrol]

Over a relatively short period of time, with no real chance to grow, yeah. We sure know

[modern sky]

breaking support for games whenever they feel like

[vapid ruin]

If it's easy to get and easy to setup I guess? Seems powerful enough for me.

[umbral heron]

The miner thingy?

[fair gull]

ye

someone patched mesa to run on kernel 6.6 with arch

its just an SBC PS5

100bucks on ebay

[ashen spindle]

No I mean the entire Linux install base that uses steam, if you think you can grow more than 10x the amount of players that use steam to make it relevant we would have many people that want to play apex but don’t have steam and don’t use windows. You don’t need to have a crystal ball to know it doesn’t add up

Yes b250 works I know some people in another discord that play around with one

How well for the price idk

[fair gull]

apparently runs ps3 games quite well

[reef patrol]

How long has the Steamdeck been out? The one thing that has had a genuine chance to "grow" the linux community?

Now compare that to the number of games supporting Linux, and you should be able to see why what you're saying is just bs 😛

[modern sky]

Man, Im tempted to use a frameworks board for a pc built into my wooting

it would be an expensive joke but could be practical aside of the keyboard getting too tall to get shit done

[umbral heron]

High-end RPi 500

[ashen spindle]

What you really think the steamdeck users don’t have a pc and would play apex on that?

[magic minnow]

My friend did stop using his ps5 for his steam deck

[ashen spindle]

It’s about new users and people moving from windows to Linux aren’t new users as long as they still use windows

Ps5 isn’t a pc

[modern sky]

okay but hear me out
https://frame.work/pl/en/products/mainboard-amd-ryzen-7040-series?v=FRANGV0005

[umbral heron]

Quite a lot of people who bought Deck didn't had PC or Steam account

[vapid ruin]

That's quite cheap for a 2600x + 6600 single board.

Steam deck ish, but need to be more tech savy

[ashen spindle]

Yes and the video I expect you saw didn’t really credit the people that make it work xD

[umbral heron]

Wait, 2200 for a mainboard is not bad

[modern sky]

Yeah, I was considering a framework for a while but decided on a pc instead

granted you can find second hand older gen boards for like 200 euro

those are great for multimedia centres

nvme slot? yup, low power usage ? not as low as a rpi but yuh uh

[umbral heron]

About 5k for laptop without storage and memory
That honestly isn't that bad given specs and repairability options

[modern sky]

Yeah, but how many people really need a powerful portable pc ?

[umbral heron]

I have X270, it's enough for me

[modern sky]

Like its a great project im just not the target consumer

[halcyon moss]

but a LOT more powerful

[modern sky]

also non arm

[umbral heron]

I mostly play on PC, Deck or stream from PC to Deck, not really in the market for it either

[modern sky]

so it has far superior software support

[halcyon moss]

i have a deck.. its gathering dust

[umbral heron]

I use one for indie games in bed
And second one is currently doing as media player/streaming box

[fair gull]

idk i only saw the arch things and the code had credits at the top

thats all i know

oh lol

the article i read had a video in it showing the ps3 game performance

[primal nymph]

How tf do I fix this don’t ask about the loud fans I got 2 noctua fans stacked on my aio

[magic minnow]

Like clear up space?

[primal nymph]

Nah it sais I’m using 50 gb but when I go into the files it sais I’m only using 250 mb

[umbral heron]

120G OS drive

[primal nymph]

I got 2,55 gb on my windows drive free if I update my pc is gonna die

[primal nymph]

1 for windows one for gaming

970 evo plus for gaming

[magic minnow]

I use this to clean up
http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/

[umbral heron]

Cool, but 256~512G would be way better than 120G one

[primal nymph]

It’s the only one I could find at my dads house we build pcs and he has tons of pc components in his garage I just got some random aio fans and a random drive for windows that’s why

[fair gull]

you windirstat the drive

and check what eats storage

[primal nymph]

Tf is windirstat

[fair gull]

a program that shows disk usage in a tree like structure

so you can check what uses the most storage

https://windirstat.net/

that way you dont need to right click -> properties everything but have a nice easy way to check the stats

[magic minnow]

Would you recommend this over space sniffer

[primal nymph]

Ye becuase I don’t know what is taking up space I’ve gone through every thing on my drive and it only totals to like 40gb not 118 gb

[fair gull]

my go to on windows is always windirstat

[magic minnow]

Tyty

[primal nymph]

It’s having a stoke

[fair gull]

so windirstat it

[primal nymph]

K I will later

I’ll dm you if it works

[fair gull]

you can just post here

[primal nymph]

I need help

My CPU liquid cooler just stopped working
And I need help with knowing what to get

My CPU is an i9 11900k

[unkempt lake]

Buy an aircooler

[wheat plume]

Nothing is a great brand
But I'd still stay away from foldable phones rn cause they are super fragile and expensive

They have other not folding phones that are pretty neat

[unkempt lake]

@verbal star get a thermalright its a good value

[verbal star]

Is this one cooked?

[unkempt lake]

Dead pump yes

[analog sinew]

if the pump is dead, yes

[verbal star]

It is

If it makes noise like that

It's dead

[verbal star]

How does it work

It's different than liquid is it not?

[unkempt lake]

It's just a tower cooler

[verbal star]

Is that all I would need

And nothing else cuz I already got like 4 fans in the front?

Does there have to be a fan in the back?

[analog sinew]

usually they come with fans

[verbal star]

Cuz there is two fans at the top

[analog sinew]

and you can use those from the aio

[analog sinew]

no

as long as there is one it will work

[verbal star]

I got like 4

[analog sinew]

use them for the case airflow ^^

[analog sinew]

oh the back of the case

[verbal star]

I'm just tryna fix my PC cuz I'm getting new keyboard soon

[verbal star]

Yes

[analog sinew]

having an exhaust fan is a good idea

if you have one anyway

[verbal star]

My motherboard won't allow me to do so

[unkempt lake]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Peerless-SE-Aluminium-Technology/dp/B09LGY38L4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1J12SDWMBDPY0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8RIqOl283xkVb3NB07XxhqI9RzKPwlOVVp0LKORpQNuwniVnGEpI7R5uKZs9u8ED7KT_jv6p6aRAuODgCj67ABu1EO8J0qhVS_37RTtgKUaFFBRz5r9Unx38qYTOLIn4-s822m16f_LitQCzKMPv8lvdqMoALyDqFJuEF54fXD_O83SQmDU-G-v_ARHOJsJ7557ynAbyvmfqYX3HgGISJA.D5MVBIRl4J8BOAqnQ-rjw__IEf5ifVAVm2CABcD4JoA&dib_tag=se&keywords=thermalright+peerless+assassin&qid=1733944757&sprefix=thermalright+%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-3

@verbal star

Just grab one of these

[analog sinew]

but the pressure will push it out regardless, its not crucial

yes thats good n cheap

[unkempt lake]

Phantom spirit would be slightly better but its out of stock

[analog sinew]

more than enough for 11th gen i think

[unkempt lake]

Anyhow this is on sale and will cool no problem

Yeah for 11gen ez fix

[verbal star]

Ok thank you for the suggestions.

[unkempt lake]

Also you can always just remove the rgb fans from the watercooler

And screw them whereverr you'd like

[verbal star]

Rlly?

They screw off?

[analog sinew]

yes

[verbal star]

I might keep them on the top of the case

[cursive summit]

Phantom Spirit, not Peerless

[analog sinew]

do 3 front 1 exhaust then you can do top if you like

[analog sinew]

sold out

and its 11th gen its fiine

[unkempt lake]

Out of stock everywhere and person needs the pc back up and running asap

[verbal star]

My CPU is only i9 11900k

[unkempt lake]

So a peerless will do

It's plenty for an 11900k anyways

[cursive summit]

Peerless will do I guess

[unkempt lake]

• it's on sale so price wise pretty good

[cursive summit]

Idk if that's really a sale lol

It's kind of usually around that price

[unkempt lake]

I mean it's not a big sale but

It's better than nothing

[unkempt lake]

Thermalright coolers going out of stock everywhere rn cuz holidays

[cursive summit]

Holidays?

What do holidays have to do with it, people buy coolers as presents?

[verbal star]

I'm buying it mostly cuz I want to save my CPU from dying

Cuz if my CPU dies that would be worst case scenario

Cuz then - 500$

[cursive summit]

Ah I see the context, AIO went crap

[verbal star]

Yes

Pump is dead

[analog sinew]

whole pcs ig

[cursive summit]

Meh no need for AIO anyways, get an air cooler

[analog sinew]

yep thats what we said

[verbal star]

It's what I'm finna do

[unkempt lake]

Air coolers are better, more reliable and cheaper

[cursive summit]

If Peerless Assassin doesn't ship stat, there's other 6 pipe Thermalrights for cheaper or about

[unkempt lake]

Aios always crap out

[lyric hatch]

Can't have pump failure if you don't have a pump

[verbal star]

-_-

[unkempt lake]

And well at least with an air cooler even if a fan craps out

It still works fans are universal and you can buy a replacement for cheap

[cursive summit]

Look at Burst Assassin 120 or Royal Knight 120

[verbal star]

🗿

[cursive summit]

All 6 pipe models, cheap, depends what ships fastest

[unkempt lake]

Good options if the peerless is out of stock

[lyric hatch]

I've just been using my NH-D15 across my new PCs since 2015

[analog sinew]

mine will be going in my next pc too yea

[lyric hatch]

Back then the air cooling space didn't have as many competitors

Buts it's been a solid purchase either way

[analog sinew]

9800x3d runs cool anyway

so it will be a breeze

[cursive summit]

Eh, pretty cool

Cooler than 7800X3D

[unkempt lake]

Been using using my nh u12a since uh whenever that released

If it aint broke dont fix it

[vapid ruin]

That's soo cool

[verbal star]

I feel that I will like my Wooting 80he

Me rn waiting till tomorrow

I had to bust out the ol reliable tv

[rough osprey]

damn thats still pretty hot

[analog sinew]

borgir

[analog sinew]

75C on artificial all core? nah

[rough osprey]

on 100 fan speed with a 360mm

[ashen spindle]

yeah on all core blender which isnt something a cpu does all day or ever

[unkempt lake]

I mean hard to test it without a functional computer

115c cpu go woosh

[wheat plume]

System76's Desktops are so so so pretty 😍

[rough osprey]

do they have any info on what the exact blender benchmark is?

[ashen spindle]

its regular blender aka putting all cores at 100% load which no game ever does

[crimson wigeon]

Might be the aptly named Blender Benchmark https://opendata.blender.org/

[rough osprey]

thats a pretty short one tho

but ye i get like 75degrees max on 7800x3d with 360mm and about 60percent fan speed

didnt test for 20mins but shouldnt change much

[ashen spindle]

48c on my 9800x3d gaming for like an hour

with an u12s

[rough osprey]

doing blender render

gaming is easier ofc

[ashen spindle]

yeah not doing that while gaming xD

[rough osprey]

atleast not most of the time

getting 80 degree peak sometimes with lower fan speed

[uncut pumice]

Hehe bit of an issue, I accidentally spilled some Monster on my 60HE+ today, I took the keycaps off and quickly cleaned everything but some got into the case, I then couple of hours later noticed that my tab is working weird, its as if my alt was pressed down and when I pressed alt playing CS I alt tabbed, then I took the entire case and pcb and everything apart and dried everything, the previous problem got solved but now theres a new problem.. my L-Alt doesn't work even when I am trying another switch on it, like it doesn't detect a click at all when I check it on the website.

I am not really a keyboard tech guy so I don't know how bad this is, is anyone able to say if I am completely fucked or is there a way to get it fixed?

[analog sinew]

if the liquid stayed on it, like you said it did it might have ruined the he sensor there

in that case unless you can resolder that that yea... not much you can do

[uncut pumice]

The funny thing is that before I took the keyboard apart, the L-Alt worked 😄

[analog sinew]

well

try restoring it

maybe its a bit sussy

but who knows maybe taking it apart was the final straw

[uncut pumice]

I took it apart just to clean it 😭

I mean tomorrow when I get the proper tools I will take it apart again, I moved so I don't have my toolkit with me, I had to use a makeshift screwdriver

[unkempt lake]

Clean it with iso alcohol and a soft brush

[uncut pumice]

The PCB yes?

[unkempt lake]

Yep

If the monster had sugar it probably crusted up

[uncut pumice]

Zero sugar 😂 But yeah probably the sweets and sugars messed it up

[latent mural]

can i track my order somehow

[unkempt lake]

Zero sugar i wouldn't really worry about

I mean look if you want to see my own incident with a similar thing

#💬│general message @uncut pumice

I guess you can see the advice people gave and yeah keyboard is fine to this day

[uncut pumice]

Thanks! I will look into it, my friend with the proper toolkit has iso alcohol, I'll grab an extra toofbrush and a microfiber cloth to try and clean it

So if the sensor actually happens to be fucked and I can't be arsed dealing with warranty, I am just better off buying a new keyboard or PCB for it?

[unkempt lake]

Pcb

You can just swap it easily

[serene willow]

what're good aftermarket skates for the lamzu maya x?

[inner wagon]

Does anyone own the Wooting 80HE and the Keychron Q1 HE? I'm not sure if I'm in the right place to ask about which one is "better" given that this is a Wooting space, but I'm interested in hearing about peoples' opinions on them. I'm considering purchasing one of these models.

[unkempt lake]

This is a wooting server the only opinion you'll hear is wooting wins

If you're looking for objectivity this ain't it

[inner wagon]

How is the quality of the Zinc alloy case compared to that of the Q1 HE?

[inner wagon]

Is it worth the price premium? jokes aside, why might it be worth upgrading?

No

Oh no😭

[umbral heron]

If you've received your keyboard less than 30 days ago you can still return it and order ISO one

[azure kestrel]

Omg nooooo 😭💀

Then can I change the keys? At worst?

And keycaps

There are only 1 or 2 keys of difference

Sry i miss click sry

What do you mean?

[umbral heron]

Another case of ANSI AZERTY

There ya go, you can get ANSI AZERTY there https://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-104-105-87-88-key-cherry-mx-black-translucent-keycap-set.html

[steady sail]

Just learn ansi

[azure kestrel]

Ty

At worst I can just change the keys from qwerty to azerty on the software?

[umbral heron]

Ah, wait, no, they removed the option to custom print AZERTY

[azure kestrel]

I buy a keycaps specialy for this

[steady sail]

The keyboard is just a physical layout, your os gonna tell u the language layout

[azure kestrel]

If I take my ANSI keyboard and change the keys with iso keys and change the keys to azerty it works or really I have to return the keyboard and take an iso

But if I open I can’t return m’y order

[azure kestrel]

If I open my order to try I can return it ?

If that not good for me

[umbral heron]

As long as you haven't done any permanent modifications or broke anything then you can return it

[azure kestrel]

Nice ty

[daring stream]

im having an issue with my spacebar not registering inputs properly on high sensitivity, mainly when typing. Is this a known thing? I currently fixed it by just changing the settings for the space bar seperately

Try unplugging and replugging the keyboard making sure nothing is touching the spacebar

[daring stream]

already tried, its only sometimes not consistent

You sure you got the cap on right?

Yeah euro prices make it kinda dead on arrival

[cursive summit]

None I can see anywhere as a listing

[ashen spindle]

starts at like 320/330 and 4060 you can get for 290

[cursive summit]

Fair, yeah I can get a 4060 for 284, and 3060 12gb for 300 flat

I still don't see any B580 listings lel

£248.99 in UK which is around 300 eur

I.. would prolly still buy Intel over Nvidia at that price

12GBs of VRAM matters more to me than 8

[steady sail]

I want atleast 16gb with my next gou

[old marlin]

seems like an honestly decent product

[cursive summit]

I mean it's not as fast but it has the same VRAM as 7700XT and that's 446 rn

[ashen spindle]

nah it even uses more power in the titles in does a bit better

[cursive summit]

And I really value VRAM nowadays, so yeah Intel even at 300 is fine

Who cares about power consumption nowadays

[old marlin]

people that pay for power lol

[ashen spindle]

this is purely a card for if you didnt want to get a 4060 in the last 2 years and want to have one before next months card launches

and even then its meh as an option

[cursive summit]

We'll see if next gen is not a major disappointment though

I suspect it might be

Intel's main competitor will prolly be AMD, Nvidia is just lost nowadays

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter if it can barely fight the last/current gen and doesnt even win if you look at prices

so even if next gen is meh it'll still be more compelling

[cursive summit]

Still gets me 4GB extra VRAM

So even if Nvidia give us 5060 with 8GBs of VRAM, that Intel is still a better purchase

[ashen spindle]

still has some issues even with supposedly great RT

[magic minnow]

why no 4090

[cursive summit]

RT
Sure, jan

[ashen spindle]

because who cares about a 4090

this is a 250$ card not 2500

[magic minnow]

My parents if I lived at home

oh thought it was just overall

[ashen spindle]

hub has more cards too I just cropped it because doesnt matter

oof idle also not looking too hot

[cursive summit]

Is this multi display idle though

They'll prolly just fix that with drivers anyways, AMD supposedly did

[ashen spindle]

well no they wont because its not multi display

[cursive summit]

Still can be fixed with drivers imo

[ashen spindle]

look at the A770 below it

still not fixed so why would this one look like driver issue and not hardware issue

[outer gust]

Can someone explain this for me in fortnite terms?

[ashen spindle]

no I dont speak trash

[crimson wigeon]

it's like someone would throw a firefly jar at your computer even when it's just idling, damn that idle power is bad

[steady sail]

I hope that the power consumption on the 8700 xt or 8800xt gonna be alright

[vagrant pagoda]

never got how the idle is so bad

[steady sail]

[vagrant pagoda]

as idle is amazing on intel igpus

[ashen spindle]

I mean the only thing thats mostly the same is the gpu core on dgpu/igpu, memory and interfact etc. is all different and thats where idle power mostly comes from

so that makes perfect sense to me, its something they never did before

[uncut pumice]

Does anyone know what sensors does 60HE+ use? I cleaned the pcb but my key still doesn't trigger, my friends job is soldering and he'd be able to fix it

[steady sail]

I WANT IT

[vagrant pagoda]

very unlike its the sensors

[uncut pumice]

What could be the case then because I've cleaned it thoroughly myself and with my friend

[vagrant pagoda]

why did you clean it

[uncut pumice]

Because of this.

[vagrant pagoda]

its only the single key?

[uncut pumice]

Yep

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean the sensors are super simple so just check for input voltage and check the output voltage

compare to another sensor

[uncut pumice]

We found the issue, he used a multimeter and the vcc pin doesn't get the power

[sonic bane]

i need a new monitor can any1 recomend 240hz 24,5 monitor

[ashen spindle]

check rtings.com or monitorsunboxed on youtube

[unkempt lake]

What's there to fix 34w ain't much

[ashen spindle]

? the 4060 uses 1/3 of that

[leaden kiln]

not very good idle 💀

[ashen spindle]

more than a 4090 and you ask whats there to fix 💀

[unkempt lake]

because 34w is negligible

[ashen spindle]

not really for its usecase

[cursive summit]

Dashi that is one of those things were it's kinda bad to idle at that much

But.. I think it's improvable with drivers

[ashen spindle]

if its a budget card and you want it for a NAS its horrible, if you use it as a desktop card and you dont just turn off pc after gaming its also making the price not worth it

[unkempt lake]

I mean literally have any pc running wallpaper engine or something and it's gonna use that much

[astral haven]

yea but if you run wallpaper engine on it its now gonna be alot higher

[ashen spindle]

if I put a b580 instead of a 4070 into my nas that costs me like 50€ more per year in electricity costs alone

that matters in budget cards

[unkempt lake]

Oh yeah sometimes I forget yall live in coutries where electricity isn't well... cheap

[ashen spindle]

get cheaper costs and you still have the same issue over the time you use it in a NAS

and its just one factor, under load its also slightly worse

[astral haven]

also theres not a single country that has cheap electricity nationwide, there are some that have somewhat cheap electricity in some places tho

[unkempt lake]

Quebec has the cheapest electricity rates in North America

[fickle ore]

Nordics want a word with ya

[unkempt lake]

6 canadian cents/kw hour :3

[astral haven]

quebec isnt a nation as much as it wants to be

[unkempt lake]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Québécois_nation_motion

beep boop you're wrong

We're legally a nation within Canada

That's still a nation

[astral haven]

wrong, you call yourself one, but legally you are part of canada

[fickle ore]

fml that 20:00 price is killing me

[ashen spindle]

okay so it still costs you 26$ a year more, which is almost 10% of the cards cost

[unkempt lake]

We'll see about that one in 2026 chief

[astral haven]

texas of canada lol

[unkempt lake]

No that's alberta

[astral haven]

as you always say 😛

but no alberta is the alaska of canada, you are the texas

[gusty kiln]

Damn what's the idle on the A380?

Apparently 19w without a display

Yikes

[vapid ruin]

Is that price for that specific hour?

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah

[wheat plume]

Ooo new feature

[halcyon moss]

Wow, at those prices everyone should have an electric car and heatpumps/aircons

[ashen spindle]

well car might be an issue with the weather since thats not always ideal

[halcyon moss]

Gallosine also ahs issues in the very cold

[unkempt lake]

Hybrid is a better compromise here

[unkempt lake]

I mean... just get a block heater and plug in your car when you're home

[halcyon moss]

So you just plug in your ccs connector and charge :p

[halcyon moss]

Why is that?

[unkempt lake]

Distance

And finding public chargers uh good luck

[halcyon moss]

Hm sucks

Of you regularly travel more than 400km that would suck

[unkempt lake]

Then again

I kinda live in the middle of nowhere

Also remember cold weather reduces the battery

[halcyon moss]

Yeah that's why I Said 400km

[unkempt lake]

Toyota Rav4 hybrid is like

The ideal pick for an area like mine

Also seen quite a few of them xD

Or maybe if we had a decent network of chargers like other areas of the province

But we don't

There's uh... 1 at the mall, 1 at the uni and that's it

I'll say tho they did add one to the gas station in the middle of the national park which is pog

[astral haven]

they are more common than gas stations if you know where to look

and around where i live, theres an extra 2 public and another 2 private chargers for every 10 on plugshare

[unkempt lake]

My area is neglected

Elsewhere it's better

Like go anywhere else in the province and ywah you'll have them everywhere

[astral haven]

well the only time you should need public charging is if you are going on trips, and if you dont have electricity at home then uhhhh

everywhere i zoomed in i had no trouble finding chargers

[unkempt lake]

dude trying to find me

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scared-gif-27466237

[astral haven]

found you, you must live on this lake 😛

or maybe you live over here

[unkempt lake]

No you're too up north

[gusty kiln]

the geoguesser dude would have found you with a single pixel

[astral haven]

https://www.plugshare.com/
yea im not actually trying to find you lol you can check for yourself

[gusty kiln]

basic social engineering

[unkempt lake]

There is more than i thought

[astral haven]

the point is tho that if you cant charge at home, dont buy an ev, but if you can, and you live somewhere that isnt montana or something, wherever you want to travel, there will be a charger on a major route and at the destination

good job montana lol

[unkempt lake]

@astral haven if you find me you can come over and get pizza as a reward

And you can pet the famous moumou

Queen of the pets channel

Oh great, fuck you Little Tim https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/12/24319206/epic-games-store-preinstall-telefonica-samsung-uk-europe-latin-america

[limpid pier]

Which Linux distro do yall use for gaming and which for office work?

(Should work out of the box if possible)

I have no experience

[analog sinew]

can we just not preinstall any shit

[umbral heron]

I just use Arch
If you want them to just work out of the box, then for gaming Bazzite, for work Ubuntu/Mint or Fedora

[ashen spindle]

I mean from my understanding its more like the browser selection that windows had that will be how android will end up like for stores

[umbral heron]

Oh yeah, we might get that again soon https://browserchoicealliance.org/

[wheat plume]

Bazzite for games
Fedora for everything else

[exotic plinth]

Stefq sounds Polish

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/i-use-arch-btw-use-arch-linux-fedora-gif-23272370

[wheat plume]

They want it for work xd
Arch and printers is a bad combo :')

[ashen spindle]

where did the printers come from lol

[wheat plume]

Sometimes people use them for their work

Quite a lot if you work at an office job

[ashen spindle]

that sounds very random lol

[wheat plume]

.....they had one job

Google: "don't have opaque status bars"
Also Google: has opaque status bar in chrome webview

[marsh pewter]

personally I would just use ubuntu or fedora for work and bazzite for gaming

[wheat plume]

Fedora so damn good

Been using it for nearly 2 years now without issues

Except for the upgrade to 41 muting my audio outputs
Had to redo the audio devices ;_;

[cursive summit]

Unannounced tech huh

[civic dragon]

I've been duel booting fedora and I just wish certain game performance was better or at least equal to windows ://

[crisp granite]

inb4 RTX 4050 ti super gigachad edition

[halcyon moss]

Popos works fine for me... Most of the timr

[digital cliff]

my vote always goes to endeavour, it's convenient to install and comes with a basic kit to work out-of-the-box, but it's arch under the hood so you can enjoy AUR and rolling-release wonders just the same

[analog sinew]

so it needs a 5090 to run well got it

[distant tapir]

Pretty excited to see how 5090 performs
