[marsh glade]

But it is a mindset issue

[candid bough]

I do agree, if it reads like ai slop it’s not good

But using the tool is good

It is still just as important to tailor your resume to the job you are applying for

You’d be surprised, the way I talk about certain topics… those who actually involve themselves in that topic and dedicated 1000s of hours to it would want to hit me in the head
Even when I think I know

[marsh glade]

More than just tailoring, it's important to demonstrate in the application (and/or cover letter) why this specific job or this specific company is a good fit for you, and why you're a good fit for the company/role

[candid bough]

But this is not always true, sometimes both parties are not sure what they are looking for

Many jobs are very vague in what they want you to do, for the same reason many resumes are vague about what they can do

[marsh glade]

I would suggest to stay very far away from a job description which is vague. Any vague applicantion is similarly ignored

[candid bough]

To each their own, you never know

[marsh glade]

Even if the role being listed is broad and not focused, it should be very clear what the expectations are

[candid bough]

People lie, that doesn’t exclude companies

Business is very political

[pale sigil]

Just have guinea pigs in the background and summon Erik

You'll get the job

[candid bough]

Do you focus on HR?

Or a rep

Does wooting have HR?

[pale sigil]

Wooting has HR

[old marlin]

dreadful

[pale sigil]

Mark is head of support so he hires people in that part of Wooting.

[pale sigil]

Isn't it like a law to have HR at a certain number of employees

[old marlin]

idk

[candid bough]

It’s not dreadful at all to have HR, it’s for the same reason I listed above, people lie, both company and candidate

You want to hire HR to apply some sort of consensus between the two

[analog sinew]

mark is king

[old marlin]

in my experience HR is just so far detached from the people and the work they do that it isn't helping

[analog sinew]

he is the master of puppets, he pulls the strings

and ofc dali pulls his strings

[candid bough]

HR isn’t perfect either, they can lie and align themselves with the liars

Having a job is nice

[pale sigil]

HR can very much side with the company a lot

[old marlin]

yea they can also make hiring processes a pain

for both sides

[marsh glade]

[pale sigil]

I just assumed you were still in that role but it got expanded

[reef patrol]

Mark's been doing far too many roles for years. Maybe now he can finally dive deep into logistics 😄

inb4 Apple tries to block customers from using non-apple products by locking serial numbers once more.

[pale sigil]

It didn't dw

Hmm, do we think it's a waste running an os on a 4tb nvme

[reef patrol]

Yes, absolutely.

[umbral heron]

Yup
256/512 for OS, separate 2/4T for data

[reef patrol]

1TB is more than enough, if even that. Time to adopt to the superior method of putting a Steam library on every drive, and installing into your D:\Games folder when it's non-launcher 😛

[umbral heron]

And now on Steam after OS reinstall you can just point the partition and it will find SteamLibrary and manifest by itself and automatically add everything back

[reef patrol]

Also remove the cache from your C drive, to cut down on the writes and reads. Let the OS be the OS on its drive, and do all of the heavy lifting on purpose made SSDs for the games.

Can do that on desktop as well. Very nice.

[marsh glade]

Don't forget to maximize your usage of your storage. You're paying for these TB, use them!

[ashen spindle]

If your SSD is showing a red bar instead of saying 0B without a bar it still got unused space

[sudden imp]

Does having that many files slow down the ssd?

[marsh glade]

Don't worry, my Rimworld page file will make sure to chew up every last byte

[ashen spindle]

Had to fight in real time yesterday when I cloned a 350gb git repo on my 500gb drive lol

[rough osprey]

i prefer one big ssd for everything

[ashen spindle]

Battle of can I find stuff to delete and make space before the clone stops due to no space

[marsh glade]

That sounds fun

[devout raptor]

im running 2 ssds now

[marsh glade]

I use WinDirStat to spot the biggest bang for your buck when arbitrarily yeeting large portions of critical drives

[devout raptor]

good idea

[marsh glade]

This is why we offer a cash refund on request for the price difference if a discount starts within any given customer's return window

[umbral heron]

Also new Discord UI working as intended

[pale sigil]

I wanted to put my 1tb in my server

[wild coyote]

I decided to use my 5G sim card from my phone to a router so I can download my games roughly 4x-5x faster than my home internet

Why? cuz I don't wanna wait almost 4 hours just to download 2 big ahh games

[wind parrot]

this is the way of doing it.

[umbral heron]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage

[wind parrot]

yeah i know, ive been meaning to get one

[raw zephyr]

mark this is not ram!

[pale sigil]

The main reason I got that 4tb was for the dram

I would have gotten the P3 just for storage £40 cheaper oops

Oh lol

Apparently windows doesn't like it

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1f5w02e/windows_11_pro_on_main_ssd_4tb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Ah apparently I just need to use gpt

[crimson wigeon]

Which has been the standard since Windows 8 so you got nothing to worry about, unless you're booting old computers you're gonna have everything be GPT'd

[wind parrot]

GPT should always be used tho, right ?

[reef patrol]

You put the OS on a smaller, dedicated SSD to avoid data loss when you eventually need to reformat 😛

It also helps keep down the writes and reads of the OS drive.

[pale sigil]

I know haha

Maybe I should just buy a new os drive

[wind parrot]

1tb os drive for life

[pale sigil]

And put my current in my server

[reef patrol]

And yes - You definitely shouldn't be using MBR in this day and age, unless you're doing some Linux nonsense.

[pale sigil]

Ye, ATM I'm using a 1tb os drive

https://amzn.eu/d/gkAtLkH

Think this will be fine for VMs?

[wind parrot]

I dont know much about Virtual Machines but i would assume so ?

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah why would it not be

[pale sigil]

Idk, probably not worth it tbh, I run a game panel VM which kinda suffers from running in a HDD.

But is it worth it, my original plan was to run windows on 4tb and move my 1tb drive.

Tbh though, none of my data is stored on my desktop, the most id lose is games/downloads.

[fair gull]

linux uses gpt since way before windows

[reef patrol]

Yeah but doesn't the whole uefi secure boot stuff cause issues with dual booting?

[fair gull]

yesnt

there is shim loaders

[crimson wigeon]

It's also a completely unrelated thing

[fair gull]

yes

you can use gpt disks without secure boot

not sure how it works exactly but i think theres some essentially fake MBR partition for the boot in the gpt disk which legacy/csm bios can use for boot then

[crimson wigeon]

Well it uses the same path just doesn't check those signatures. And for legacy motherboards yeah you can have a faux MBR so that everything else can be GPT'd

[pale sigil]

Tbh if I ever used Linux again it would be my laptop only, I would hook it up to a kvm

[reef patrol]

TIL

Is someone using Claude 3.7 and can provide info how good the web search really is? I live in Germany so it pisses me off, because I have bought it today without research if it has web search capabilities, because I thought it's a standard nowadays lmao

Or to put it another way: Is Claude good without web search?

Didn't try it for work atm

[candid bough]

claude web search capabilities are what make it bad

[limpid pier]

How come?

[candid bough]

i see they have just added it recently

[limpid pier]

My opinion atm is that it is pretty stupid, when it comes to composing emails lol 😄

[candid bough]

I think claude is good at math + code

And a good therapist

[limpid pier]

I think it's good for work like coding but I don't want it to use it only for work lol

[candid bough]

chatgpt for me has been the best with websearch, grok is dumb too

[limpid pier]

Yeah seems really like it is

At least it doesn't forget that it doesn't need to compose a whole new email inquiry after the last one, when it's within the same context lmao

[candid bough]

have you tried replit agent for code?

ill have to try

[limpid pier]

No I try to minimize the use of AI while coding atm and if I do I use chatGPT

[candid bough]

i am noob in coding, so i use it

[limpid pier]

Me too I am just a Apprentice right now xD

But I need to learn how to code properly because I will have my final exam next year

nice and wholesome hand drawn movies and people just spit on it by making ai copy it

[umbral heron]

You mean interpolation or making images in the style of given studio?

Both of which should be purged from existence by the way

[steady sail]

Not the Ghibli movies

[candid bough]

YES! It means there's going to be a flood of gpu that enthusiast can buy to run AI at home

Legit at some point p40 is as expensive as used 3090 because of AI

[ashen spindle]

ai will not go back but the bubble can burst and the bullshit could stop finally

[umbral heron]

Thankfully it won't take my job
Somebody has to maintain all this hardware after all

[mild dome]

Saw a recent article that 90% of AI investment is gonna go nowhere.

Not that AI was useless but that since investors don't actually know what they are investing in, they cannot understand that they are falling for buzzwords and investing in unmarketable products.

[candid bough]

AI shouldnt take anyones job, we should evolve with it!

[balmy vector]

I eated it….

[umbral heron]

we just need robots now

Hmm,

first impression, I don't hate Discord's UI changes

It looks like they're trying to make it look like IOS home screen.

[leaden kiln]

I don't like them but I don't have very strong feelings on it

they should go back to the design on mobile where we had the dm button on the bottom, somehow they undo all of the good usability changes and only keep stuff people don't like

👀 the plot thickens

[unkempt lake]

I think its most likely just

Some bad 9800x3ds

it does seem like there is at least two issues the no boot and the explodey bit

maybe no boot is asrock fault and got misunderstood as dead that aligns with some things i saw

[ashen spindle]

hows it worse when its a fraction of the uptime?

[plush stirrup]

abuse of the hardware

uptime is just that, heck, my old PC even kept it's uptime after I clicked reboot... windows is a weird OS

[ashen spindle]

yes if you have fast reboot on it doesnt fulyl restart

[plush stirrup]

All fast boot options were off, I always needed to reboot using cmd otherwise it would keep uptime 🥲

[ashen spindle]

well its more useful than cpu utilization because that number is completely misleading xD

[plush stirrup]

sadly that laptop couldn't keep it's uptime :c

I needed to restart every few days since it was my work laptop

I'd be in a call and I'd lose audio, 10/10 windows moment

what is the ASRock thing

[ashen spindle]

just a brand

[short zenith]

is it a gpu

[plush stirrup]

gets even worse if one starts playing in 2K resolution 😛

[ashen spindle]

yes that build has an asrock gpu from intel and an asrock motherboard

[short zenith]

whats the gpu in nvidia terms

[ashen spindle]

4060

[plush stirrup]

look at the link he sent, in this case it is the motherboard, and the GPU.

[short zenith]

what else can i get with 100 more dollars

[ashen spindle]

currently not much because gpus are in high demand

[plush stirrup]

in these times 100$ is barely anything for a PC especially GPU's indeed

if you could get a 9070 at msrp which would be 549USD that would be the next best upgrade

[analog sinew]

is it a pcie wifi card

arent those m.2 these days

[plush stirrup]

I have an m.2 slot for it, but that'd be more expensive

Google

[plush stirrup]

Looks like asrock design + I think mine has that sticker too xD

[thick elk]

Also most motherboards with it build in have the wifi chip soldered, having it socketed at least makes it upgradeable separately.

In practice not that important as you mostly wouldn't upgrade it later / use the chip in a new motherboard, but still.

if someone could help me with the gradual movement I would greatly appreciate it.. I am trying to barley move with just a little accusation of my w buy as soon as it activate its full throttle. Any help at all would be great//.

I have a question, there's very little room within the key press from the slow walk to the fast. Is there a way to make the key press at a deeper point for top speed?
If that doesn't make sense let me know so I can try and reword it..
I guess what I am asking is I want it to be easier to slow walk, I have to really try in order to actually slow walk
I would like for it to be a little more forgiving.

you have to bind the keys to controller input instead for gradual movement, it's really quite a bummer but games dont accept kb analog inputs

Ye true

[unkempt lake]

That switcheroo scam is super common and it's scary how good some people are

And welp... even if it's at a police station, what says they'll have a good pic of him

Or that you'll realize before you get home

[serene ruin]

Personally would’ve brought my brother w me and had him hold the card until i made sure money was good

[unkempt lake]

Its too good to be true

[serene ruin]

That was the plan but I didnt want to end up wasting my time or risking any bs

So i blocked him and reported for scamming

[unkempt lake]

If he had said hey i got a 5070 ti but i don't want it

Do you want to trade me cash + your gpu

[serene ruin]

For sure. If it was true dude is dumb as a brick

[unkempt lake]

Then it would have made a little more sense

How much did you list the 6800xt for

[serene ruin]

I commented this but got instadeleted

[lyric hatch]

I got Gemini to summarize it into something readable

"Ryan Hudson, co-founder of Honey, is addressing viral accusations that Honey was a scam. He refutes claims that Honey intentionally provided worse coupon codes and stole affiliate commissions from creators. He argues that the accuser, Jonathon Laing, misrepresented evidence, manipulated data, and lacked understanding of affiliate marketing systems. Hudson asserts Honey aimed to provide the best available deals and supported creators, emphasizing that it saved users billions and was not a scam. He offers to answer further questions."

Does anyone know why my ram is on the unoverclocked mhz when xmp is enabled

[pale sigil]

@somber coral what cpu

[somber coral]

[pale sigil]

Have you actually saved and rebooted

Because I can see 3200 in the pic

[somber coral]

Correct me if I’m wrong I don’t think that’s the ram setting though

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

You don't need to touch anything else

Just turn on xmp and save/exit

Oh I see what you want

*meant

You are correct

[somber coral]

i turned the memory try it to the ram specs

[pale sigil]

Regardless, did you save and reboot.

[somber coral]

yeah its fine now

it's alright

its a basic safe oc

a few % under what you can get yourself

liquid freezer 3 pro

they are using a 38mm radiator

[fair gull]

38mm will be compatible with basically anything

[pale sigil]

starting to qustion why i installed arch base on my lapyop

[crimson wigeon]

Because those who use that say it's the only thing you should ever use

[pale sigil]

should have gone popos

[umbral heron]

Arch base sucks

Anything is better than Ubuntu though

[pale sigil]

ye

i liked arcolinux

ik it uses arch

why does ubuntu get so muich hate

[nimble arch]

Canonical

[pale sigil]

yes

[umbral heron]

Ubuntu tries to make everything their way
It's enough to say that they are trying to push Snap, which is always prioritized when it comes to package installation, but a lot of packages there is heavily outdated, and quite a lot of those outdated ones break dependencies, so your system may become unusable
Also the fact that they make arbitrary decisions to remove certain packages from their repos because "security" (despite the fact that all other distros use those packages)
But also that they do not provide certain necessary packages, for example you have to use 3rd party community PPAs to install as basic stuff as AMD/Intel GPU drivers, because they do not provide Mesa

Ubuntu is great for people who only use browser, office suite and printer
Try anything more, and you're in for not a good time

[wild coyote]

hehe i use debian for server purposes B)

[rough osprey]

even thicker???

[umbral heron]

Debian is Ubuntu before being hit with a hammer on the head

[wild coyote]

Tbh, Linux Mint or Arch are good for daily

Ubuntu is for people who want to be lazy and don't want to configure anything 🤷

[umbral heron]

Arch-based is good for daily
Most people would start crying trying to configure Arch

[cursive summit]

So uh https://wccftech.com/intel-cancels-its-high-end-xe2-arc-battlemage-bmg-g31-gpus/

There goes Arc?

[pale sigil]

Same

[pale sigil]

Nothing wrong with that

[cursive summit]

I'm using Ubuntu currently, it's.. alright

It's far better than Mint that's for sure

[fair gull]

no reread the article. they just do the amd and dont do high end gpus

[rough osprey]

sad

[nimble arch]

Potentially not a bad play in the short term?

[cursive summit]

Where does it say that

Intel already launched their "mid range" B580

There's no B770 coming so, we are waiting for Celestial

[nimble arch]

Make a great mid-range GPU, get marketshare, get better middleware implementations and, then make a proper flagship.

[cursive summit]

B580 is like, barely mid range lel, it competes with 4060

Intel basically abandoned their mid range and will just make budget cards

And we're unlikely to even get Celestial at this point

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/Idxuc0F5EWk?si=veBuheygvLJ9xSLm @astral haven we were talking about tesla being under investigation in canada for possibly defrauding the ev program

Well now there's a bunch of teslas popping up in random parking lots lol

Not sold just sitting there

[unkempt lake]

Well exactly there's no b770 coming that's what i understood from the article

That's cancelled

[unkempt lake]

I'd rather get a b580 than a 4060

[sudden imp]

Free teslas???

Oh my god!!! Must be someone’s lucky day (joke)

[reef patrol]

Imagine all the people involved in reparking these over and over illegally.

The molotov is hungry, brother.

[unkempt lake]

(Don't actually set teslas on fires it puts firefighters at risk as lithium batteries are highly flammable and the firefighters didn't do shit to deserve dealing with that)

[pale sigil]

Why on earth are Tesla's being parked

Because the program was paused?

[unkempt lake]

Because they defrauded the government

By selling teslas to themselves

[pale sigil]

Bizarre

[unkempt lake]

https://driving.ca/auto-news/industry/tesla-ev-rebates-canada-investigation-freeze-incentive

[pale sigil]

Bet they won't sell them second hand lol

[unkempt lake]

Tried to claim they sold 43 million $ worth of cars in 3 days

... the ampunt they usually sell in one quarter

[reef patrol]

Seems legit.

[pale sigil]

So they sold them to themselves and will sell them to customers?

[reef patrol]

They sell them to "customers" to cash in one state benefits for selling EV cars.

[unkempt lake]

Yep and are trying to claim the rebate

[reef patrol]

But those "customers" are just themselves.

[pale sigil]

Ye that's what I was saying.

[unkempt lake]

Also those 8000something cars were sold from 3 dealerships only. Makes no sense

[pale sigil]

So that means they are second hand technically right?

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[pale sigil]

I bet they won't be sold as such lol

[reef patrol]

They're the manufacturer. They can claim basically anything.

[unkempt lake]

Legally dubious

[reef patrol]

The whole thing reeks.

[pale sigil]

What's that saying

[reef patrol]

Can't just sell cars to a company that is themselves. I bet both the letter and spirit of the benefits were for sales to consumers 😄

[pale sigil]

When your new car touches the ground or something it loses % value? Xd

Comes off the truck

[unkempt lake]

As soon as it leaves the parkibg lot

[pale sigil]

I guess they are technically in parking lots

[candid bough]

That’s what they sayyy, but I am not sure how true that is anymore

Depends on the car

[astral haven]

As they should be ofc
But I'll trust the results, if they say fraud it's fraud, if they say not fraud then not fraud

[hasty surge]

Hi, so should I go for the 4070super or the 7900gre, they’re the same price here, which one should I be pairing with the 9800x3d

And figured out that I infact did ask this question before

[candid bough]

It’s all good

[hasty surge]

But the guy who said get 4070 super was the guy who seems to be biased

[candid bough]

4070 super is good , all of those cards are good

Don’t even need the 9800 for the 4070 super

[hasty surge]

Yeah but which one should I go for TvT

It’s the same price

Brand new

Yea buddy guy

You think I care?

Last few nvidia drivers have been messy af

[balmy vector]

id say im lucky with the 572 drivers, but yeah nvidia is fumbling so many things this year

[candid bough]

I don’t, I don’t care as much

I don’t feel poor with Nvidia graphics card

Buddy

[unkempt lake]

The last one seems alright on the 2080

But the past 4 ones have been awful

[candid bough]

Not true, graphics cards are holding in value, they are in demand

[unkempt lake]

guys am i poor, i have a 7900xtx

[candid bough]

Stay mad

I said it’s my opinion

[balmy vector]

yeah its a little better, i did have an issue installing the recent drivers where my screen went black during the install and had to restart the process however

[unkempt lake]

You're right, a card worth 1500cad is clearly second class

[candid bough]

Clearly I struck a nerve

[balmy vector]

otherwise i havent been bitten bad by the new drivers that are causing more issues thankfully

[unkempt lake]

I'm a broke bitch

[jaunty rose]

What is this for?

[jaunty rose]

Are these latest drivers?

[unkempt lake]

The last 4 lol

All in the same branch

They've been shit

[jaunty rose]

Yeah Ive been experiencing some similar issues ever since updating, literally thought these past few days the crashes/freezes was because I did an unstable undervolt on my gpu

[unkempt lake]

Yeah no it's the drivers

The premium nvidia experience

[devout raptor]

macbook charger but why did they make the usb c end white

[ashen spindle]

any driver since 50 series has had massive issues for them

[unkempt lake]

Nico had issues on the 2080 my brother had issues on his 3080

Reverting their drivers fixed all the issues

[jaunty rose]

Oh have the tables have turned

Lmfao

[unkempt lake]

Remember when intel fanboys were going on about stability then 13/14gen happenned?

[jaunty rose]

Yeah

[unkempt lake]

Reminds me of that

People seem to think some conpanies are immune to fuck ups but they all can fuck up

XD

Just takes the right circumstances

[jaunty rose]

I want amd so succeed so nvidia can get there shit together and do better but I’m kinda afraid they wont tho since the Ceo is so focused on the ai industry

[unkempt lake]

Just... buy what's good value/a good price

[jaunty rose]

If 9080xt ever exists under $1k usd

[unkempt lake]

Not happenning

Mid range only

Amd can't scale their shit to a higher end product

[jaunty rose]

So 9070xt is their flagship and only 9060 and 9060xt may exist?

[ashen spindle]

for this generation 9070xt is the highest yes

9060 with a smaller chip is coming next quarter

[ashen spindle]

they can they just decided they dont want to

[jaunty rose]

9070xt is amazing at msrp and FSR 4 is looking really good

[unkempt lake]

Gib fsr4 on xtx

[jaunty rose]

One thing thats kinda bugging me is 9070xt cooler designs that are being manufactured from other companies
Was hoping for MSI to make one but they stopped partnering with amd a few months back

9070xt Designs aren’t necessarily bad, just nothing seems interesting to me

Maybe I’m not looking hard enough

[jaunty rose]

There isnt support for the 7000 series?

Any idea why?

[unkempt lake]

It's still in development

[unkempt lake]

7000 series uses gen1 ai accelerators

They said they want to bring it to 7000 but it will take work and time

[jaunty rose]

Ohh ok

[unkempt lake]

There's a waifu one that has built in perfume

[ashen spindle]

Ai/ML likes specific low precision data types that are like 2x or 4x faster at same clocks, 7000 series doesnt have that so it could end up slower than native rendering without changes to the code

[jaunty rose]

Just looked it up, looks good…… but having a whole ass anime girl on your gpu is kinda wild lmao

Oh shit it comes with stickers

[jaunty rose]

Thats very informative

Thanks

[jaunty rose]

Yeah thats literally as much as a 5070ti but with perfume and a waifu on it 😭

Will the waifu increase it’s value?

What is the lore

[balmy vector]

well you have to find out by buying it

pretty sure they come with lore

[jaunty rose]

What if I just wanted the lore… will it be $300?

I assume the additional cost above msrp went into the lore

[analog sinew]

there is lore actually

What about... the fucking ethernet driver not working

Had that happen before

[pale sigil]

Didn't they do this before

[unkempt lake]

@fair gull

You're right lol

[reef patrol]

In some releases, but now that's it is in the media, I bet there's going to be a double check internally on how they're doing things.

[pale sigil]

Hopefully Rufus remains to the rescue

It's stupid though... Considering laptops rarely have ethernet ports now.

[ashen spindle]

who buys a laptop without windows pre installed?

[bright briar]

wait wtf thats a thing?

[ashen spindle]

yeah

if you want linux or something

and if you want to install it yourself and get a model without ethernet get a ethernet to usb adapter or whatever

[lyric hatch]

We don't even use Ethernet at work anymore our offices are wifi only now

[fair gull]

suddenly #🔌│tech

[nimble arch]

My work makes you request Ethernet ports to be activated in the offices which is charged to the department. Otherwise it's Wi-Fi for everything.

Except they cap the Wi-Fi speeds to roughly 200/200 per device and sometimes I need gigabit upload.

[jaunty rose]

Huh????? Nvidia selling cards from a food truck????
https://youtube.com/shorts/ZuSB2AsDiKU?si=m1sYjgfcGrU51ehI

[solemn helm]

Pre installed windows on a laptop adds like $100 to its price

It's better to install one urself and buy a windows key from a key resellers website for like $11

[ashen spindle]

just get an installed windows version thats not activated then

[solemn helm]

Shops in my country don't offer that option I'm pretty sure

[jaunty rose]

Tbh I just used a school computer to get a bootable windows drive then stole the key from that computer since they were gonna get rid of the desktops for laptops

[lyric hatch]

Which laptops don't come with a Windows license, OEM licenses aren't $100

[solemn helm]

u can select the option to buy without OS installed (which doesn't give u the key but u don't have to pay for the expensive ahh license), also i checked and windows adds like $200-300 to the price

[lyric hatch]

OEMs arent paying normal rates for those windows licenses so I don't see how it would increase the price that much

I guess companies like framework aren't getting those discounted windows licenses

[solemn helm]

im checking in DNS shop which is the most popular tech shop in my region, and it does that. So it's prob different for them or they're just ripping us off 😭

[fair gull]

all the prices ive seen in my previous job for oem licenses were between 50-100eur

idk how MS determines the price for an OEM though so /shrug

[lyric hatch]

Yeah idk $200 US for a Windows license preinstalled is pretty damn high

[fair gull]

oh no that sure is high yes

[lyric hatch]

Im still using my Windows key from the old dreamspark program Microsoft use to have for students

[fair gull]

i used a win7 ultimate key from the internet and then upgraded to win10 making it a real license

lol

[stray pelican]

Is there any danger to using tachyon mode all the time, or do people just have it on 24/7?

[ashen spindle]

no issue at all

[bright briar]

thats why i pay $20

moumou knows a guy who knows another guy which that guy

[reef patrol]

I have basically never seen an option to buy an OS less laptop.

[ashen spindle]

OS less no but unactivated windows or with linux yes

[rigid bronze]

should i get the truthear hexas, zero blues or reds

[marsh pewter]

any

personally I’d say the hexas aren’t worth the price increase but they do come with more accessories and aren’t too much more expensive

[marsh pewter]

it depends on what you’re going for

just look into reviews and get whichever appeals to you most

they’re all pretty good

[steady sail]

zero reds are good :3 i really like them

[marsh pewter]

same x3

[rigid bronze]

okay, i was just gonna use them, to play games becuase ive been using a headset for the past couple of years, and i would much rather have a iem

[marsh pewter]

btw if you go for the zero blues I get the v2s

[marsh pewter]

iirc zero blues are gonna be better for specifically gaming while zero reds are better overall

as for the hexas, i’m not too familiar with them

[plush stirrup]

Business line laptops usually have the option (used firefox translate for this one)

[marsh pewter]

but the sound signature is similar to the zero blues while being higher quality iirc

like I said, just watch some reviews

pick whichever seems best for your use case

[rigid bronze]

okay okay thanks

[reef patrol]

Business customers don't care about this. Cause... they have IT teams formatting and installing stuff.

[plush stirrup]

One can buy those laptops without being a business customer aswell 🙂

[reef patrol]

Yes - But generally do not.

[plush stirrup]

They should, gives them the advantages of business service 😄

[reef patrol]

They also happen to be several times the average laptop budget.

[plush stirrup]

it depends, they can even be "only" 1000eur or so depends on what one is looking at, but if it breaks they come replace it at home

My GPU has already been gone for a month due to repairs, should be back any time soon, warranty got declined at first, had to go to the manufacturer and not the webshop instead, if I apply that to my laptop I would've had no laptop for 2 months during my studies, so it really depends on what the use case is for the laptop

Once my laptop complained that the official chargers weren't supplying enough power, that stopped after that one day it did it for - Dell replaced my motherboard at home for free
And another time my screen started flickering (during an exam even) applying pressure fixed it permanently until they replaced it, also at home, and free, I assume that was just a loose connector, but they don't want to come back so they just replace the part

[lyric hatch]

Laptop issues like that are relatively rare I would not splurge out on a business laptop for personal use

[plush stirrup]

I seem to be extremely unlucky xD

for normal browsing use I'm sure a normal one is fine, but if it's anything you can't miss, say studies, you have an issue if it breaks

it could also be a dell precision thing, my dad also has a broken precision, mine 'broke' twice xD

[iron wave]

either some form of RGB lighting or a USB device from your OS?

[clever summit]

what are some good keycap sets for the wooting? (im new to modding keyboards)

[thick elk]

I have seen one reselling clevo's where you had the option to not select storage / ram, rare but they do exist.

[halcyon moss]

Random dell

2 others I checked didn't have that option

True but completely without an os in practice is rare. Lenovo offers similar options sometimes

Then there's no enter key difference to be worried about.

As Tak mentions, make sure the little window on the switch lines up with the white led below. Or in other words make sure they face north like the second switch you installed.

ok thanks

Do you not have internet?

Insert that one BlizzCon picture here

[umbral heron]

Better - I do not have Windows

[reef patrol]

This is going to get a reaction from the EU. Calling it now.
Won't affect anyone who can google and can figure out Rufus - But in these times where data safety and "The US has your data" awareness is high, people are going to complain loudly.

Standard corporate bullshit phrasing 😄

Considering it was not two months ago someone here couldn't log in, because their PC was on an MS account, and didn't have Internet.

[latent mural]

Windows 11 is an ad delivery platform masquerading as an OS.

[umbral heron]

Whenever it says "enhance security" replace with "we want greater control over how user uses our product"

[digital cliff]

microman out here speedrunning making the product worse and worse until nobody wants to use it

[umbral heron]

Worked for me

[digital cliff]

same

Wtf happened to the steam deck subreddit ....
It's just filled with dumb shit like a post commenting on how satisfying it is that an SD card perfectly fits into the slot designed to take an SD card

[umbral heron]

Started with this https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1jlgbqd/thought_this_was_hysterical/ and then everyone was milking karma/didn't touch grass internet points

[wheat plume]

They have the fucking white deck
I want it ;_;

[umbral heron]

https://extremerate.com/products/extremerate-replacement-full-set-shell-with-buttons-for-steam-deck-oled-white

[wheat plume]

I don't have the diy skills for this
Would definitely permanently break the Deck somehow

Especially trying to remove the display for the front shell

Also that's too white
The limited edition one is a sort of cream color with beige

No xd

[analog sinew]

1k?

[wheat plume]

I suddenly have 2 chromes and idk why...

[wild coyote]

I'm still running strong on Local account in Windows 11 🔥

[wheat plume]

yes yes :D

last time I used Windows I used Rufus to make a local account for me

[wild coyote]

Did that too

Only because they remove the local account method on setup

[wheat plume]

I also learned that logging into the Store so I can download Minecraft Bedrock make it log in SYSTEM WIDE .-.

[wild coyote]

Personally, I always do Local account

🤷 And only put "Microsoft apps only" per login on Microsoft store or other logins that uses MS

[halcyon moss]

Why are we doing this again? I forgot the potential benefits

[umbral heron]

So MS can collect your usage data and sell it for profit

[wild coyote]

Well yeah 🤷

I've used linux and what not, I just can't switch until certain games are compatible with linux 🤷

[umbral heron]

All games I play work already so am happy

[balmy vector]

Infinity nikki?

[wheat plume]

infinity nikki only works on Steam Deck LCD models .-.

cause their anticheat specifically checks for it and lets it through

not even the OLED Deck can play it

[nimble arch]

Sadge

Hopefully it's fixed for the official Steam release

[umbral heron]

Nope

That's on purpose

[nimble arch]

You're on purpose

I have no idea what that entails

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-happy-gif-21756597

[fair gull]

for non EU people*

and prob some other countries with local laws that prevent ms from doing this

[fair gull]

perceived security cause its totally unfackable in the linux world to pretend to be another OS/hardware

[wild coyote]

I'm in Finland 🤷 It happened to me

[fair gull]

with a finish win11 iso?

also assuming youre not some cursed win11 s edition license holder

[umbral heron]

If you are using English one use EN-International, not British or American

[wild coyote]

I never use american 😂

Anyways, I just gave up and used Rufus. Easier than anything anyways 🤷

[umbral heron]

Ventoy

[wild coyote]

Yeah, but Ventoy (as far as I know) doesn't give option to remove restrictions, etc

[umbral heron]

Has tons of options for Windows specifically

Mmm

[reef patrol]

MS accounts are just such a mess.

If I tell Word to open a document from my OneDrive, it'll complain that I'm not logged into my MS account in word, even though OneDrive is the one handling cloud sync.

Can't dismiss it. Constant yellow bar.

[distant tapir]

When I got my new PC I just logged in. Couldn't be bothered to do the local account workaround

[reef patrol]

I should just stop using OneDrive and use my Google drive instead.

Only kept using it due to OneNote, which MS also can't do properly.

Imagine a note keeping app that desyncs - when I literally only ever access it on a single device.

And I can't correct this mistake without going to a desktop PC and login there.

So many shopping list items poofed.

Google's note app is shit, but at least it doesn't desync and wipe half a shopping list at random

[reef patrol]

I just tire of being asked to log in with a password of some kind, the moment I use an MS account.

Or when there's a network or account issue, I am locked out of the device necessary to correct said issue

[nimble arch]

Any news of when SteamOS 3.7 hits the stable release channel? One would assume it's next week.

[wheat plume]

Damn I want the Frameworks Desktop
Would be a great sitting room console PC

[ashen spindle]

or just get a normal pc to put there thats cheaper by a lot?

you pay quite a bit more and end up with soldered ram an all the other downsides of not a pc

[vapid ruin]

IMO, small 5700x3d + 5070 setup could prop work just as well.

5700geee!!

[ashen spindle]

plenty of things, but using the framework desktop for non work just makes no sense because you only really have the benefits of massive vram for AI and such

as a living room pc its just costing more than making a better SFF pc even

[vapid ruin]

hmm, assuming you can get 2 4060ti 16gb at msrp, I think you can get better than the base model framework desktop when it comes to local AI usage. IDK how fast Ryzen AI Max 385.

I haven't check benchmark, but if it can do 1000t/s prompt processing and 5-10 token gen/s on llamacpp, I guess it is

[unkempt lake]

Yep just build your own SFF

(When gpu prices are back to normal)

[wheat plume]

Essential Space is probably the most useful AI ive seen on a phone so far

The rest is super gimmicky and fun things to try once and never again

You just got to hold down the button on the side of the phone, itll take a screenshot of whatever is on the screen and record your voice, in the background it transcribes what you say into a note and bullet points things for you that cover the most important things you say, and if you say anything related to remind me during the voice recording, it will also make a reminder for you too

[vapid ruin]

mmm, need to have nothing phone

I have nothing like that

[wheat plume]

YAY NO WINDOWS LOGO

They finally use their own Logo on all layouts now

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

before this, I had to select the "International English (Linux)" layout and I didnt like the placement of the symbols

[ashen spindle]

and you're still not getting either of them I bet

[wheat plume]

I will soon

[ashen spindle]

why are you going for overpriced frameworks when you're going the budget route?

[marsh pewter]

because she heard someone say they’re better for linux i’m sure

[wheat plume]

and when I need to upgrade the performance in like 5 years, I can buy the newest main board and put that in, and a new battery and get a basically new laptop for 300 euro or so

[ashen spindle]

are you going to upgrade in 5 years again? you could get something that lasts longer

and we dont know if in 5 years you can get something that works on that frame even

and you paid in advance which with inflation etc. means you now overpay for a later upgrade potential

[wheat plume]

The very first model of the framework 13 still can take the newest AMD main boards

and that was multiple years ago when that launched

[ashen spindle]

yeah but that doesnt mean they are still around in 5 years lol

[wheat plume]

no other laptop makes it this easy to swap parts, better screen, new larger battery, more ram if needed

[nimble arch]

If the Linux support wasn't so bad, a MacBook Air M4 would be the best shout if you want affordability and longevity.

[ashen spindle]

is that a nice option or would you actually want a better screen in 2 years

[nimble arch]

Plus the resale values are usually always higher with a MacBook.

[wheat plume]

that being said, the only way to get a larger battery in the DIY configurator is to buy the upgraded screen and CPU :/ and I dont want that cause I want the lower res screen but higher refresh rate

[ashen spindle]

why not just get something thats much better for the same price now

[wheat plume]

cause when it comes time for a new laptop in multiple years, id have to replace the entire machine for one that was the same price I paid for this one or more

instead of just taking the one I have and adding a new battery and main board

[ashen spindle]

yeah but you can save up for a much better upgrade then or get something from work at the time and dont have to overpay for it now already

[wheat plume]

huh?

[ashen spindle]

also what if in 5 years they dont have upgrade options for that model

then you just overpaid for it in advance

[wheat plume]

they only have 3 models of laptop

[ashen spindle]

yeah and?

[wheat plume]

I dont think they will stop supporting a model with their main boards unless a very very significant form factor change has to happen to accodate a new CPU or whatever

[ashen spindle]

what if they go out of business

what if a form factor change is coming and it wont work

[wheat plume]

thats a risk with any company

[ashen spindle]

yeah but with any other company you arent overpaying for a future upgrade

[wheat plume]

then they go back to the current one and it means older gen models can get the upgrade

[ashen spindle]

you get what you pay for

with framework you pay more for a future upgrade option, if that ugprade isnt coming you just paid more for nothing

[wheat plume]

if I bought a laptop now from another brand, it would be totally out-dated in 5 years
with no options to upgrade it unless I buy a new laptop that is the same price or more than the current one

[ashen spindle]

yeah but its idk 400$ cheaper or stronger for the same price and would be useable longer

I just dont see why if you are going in the lower end budget region, you overpay for something in 5+ years

[wheat plume]

the 120Hz display has round corners :/ I dont want that on a laptop cause no OS takes round corners into account

[wheat plume]

what other laptops have this CPU rn? are they cheaper?

Ryzen AI 5 340

......will the US tariffs affect shipping them to here?!

[ashen spindle]

nobody makes cpus or laptops in the us...

[wheat plume]

Framework are US company right? which will count towards trumps tariffs

[ashen spindle]

and yes https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1i5pg8p/an_overview_of_amd_krackan_point_systems_laptops/

there are system with the cheaper end cpus

[wheat plume]

NL?!?!

[ashen spindle]

wooting are in the netherlands and dont make keyboards there either....

[wheat plume]

yeah, but Wooting would be under NL law

[reef patrol]

And US law...for our US company?

Framework is American.

[wheat plume]

yeah, I know so they are under US law, which has the tariffs

[reef patrol]

They are under EU law... for EU customers.

What are you on about.

[ashen spindle]

if they ship you something from taiwan to your place US tarrifs dont apply...

tarrifs are local sales tax basically

[wheat plume]

oh, only if the product itself comes from US?

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't even work like that. The factory ships to a WAREHOUSE - And they have one in the EU.

No passage through the US.

[wheat plume]

oohh
