Do it when block it with group policy

I blocked that shit with group policy on both gaming rigs i have cuz well 24h2 is just a problematic piece of shit

[ashen spindle]

isnt it nice how the most modern win11 version is just complete shit in the same time as win10 is reaching EOL

[digital cliff]

I feel like it's been like this forever

[plush stirrup]

yeah once it booted up I was greeted with this driver can't load because it's unsafe or so... according to google that's an nvidia thing, not AMD, but I guess AMD also gets hurt by the new update

[digital cliff]

every version is just worse than the one before and eventually people will become accustomed to that new standard of shitness and then fight against the even newer even shitter version next year

[ashen spindle]

well the previous win11 version was fine and I probably would've upgraded to it because I do want the HDR changes but now im just waiting on 10 for a bit longer xDE

[plush stirrup]

I'll just hope the SSD prices go down like they used to, I feel like it's a waste to buy now when I remember them being almost half the price 🥲

[unkempt lake]

Yeah it causes issues with both amd and nvidia

Some people are lucky others arent

[fair gull]

dont need system32

you run 64bit os

[ashen spindle]

wait what prices are you looking at

I can find 2TB for like 130€

[nimble arch]

Pure 64-bit Windows when?

[plush stirrup]

currently 2TB is around 120eur, used to be 75 or a little over that

[ashen spindle]

when lol

[plush stirrup]

12 juli 2023

85eur normal price with 10eur discount at the time

or this one, current price vs 26june 2023, both sold and shipped by amazon

the crucial one is still about the same price, but that one caused my motherboard to freeze up, got it replaced and that one worked, but I don't trust their quality control for my current pc

[ashen spindle]

oh god isnt the 870 evo the qlc option

but fair enough, I was just looking at the sn860x and that was the same as 2 years ago

do have to remind myself not everyone is like me and only looks at nvme as options xD

[astral haven]

Nah, qlcs are generally called qvo

[plush stirrup]

no, tlc

I got the QVO but that was garbage

I had it like 6days and it dropped to 75MB/s

returned that thing

[astral haven]

Lol

[plush stirrup]

I barely had any data on it, I'd guess maybe 100GB at max, on a 1TB drive

[balmy vector]

My question is wtf are you doing that takes up this much storage lol

[plush stirrup]

That's a question I ask myself a lot aswell

[balmy vector]

[astral haven]

"This much"
2tb
???

[plush stirrup]

Probably meant my other disks aswell xD

disk G: almost 1TB of games
Disk S: media
the rest of the disks is unknown to me

I still have a 1TB HDD laying on my couch from years ago I need to get the data off... I think I still needed something from it

but it's been so long ago that I forgot what I needed from it 😛

[balmy vector]

What if it was archives of a prehistoric MMORPG?

[unkempt lake]

i feel targetted

[plush stirrup]

Wonder how long this one has left xD

[balmy vector]

Its in its retirement phase

[plush stirrup]

Damn imagine disks being blue

[balmy vector]

Meanwhile only 1 of my disks is half full

[unkempt lake]

my oldest drive in the system

from 2014

[plush stirrup]

one of my SSD's is just chilling with this amount of data written for a 2TB SSD

It doesn't show amount read, but I'd guess it's about the same

[plush stirrup]

"Video drive" has most of it available

[balmy vector]

because its just comprised of rhythm game clips

lol

[plush stirrup]

this is what my old phone used to store before samsung got rid of SD cards

now it's too expensive to store that much 🥲

now my tablet that takes 2minutes to open discord can store whatever it wants on its 512GB SD xD

[plush stirrup]

Unfortunately I have AMD 🤣

[ashen spindle]

meh JPR data isnt the best and toms as usual not the best site so doesnt really mean anything

[sudden imp]

I think AMD is doing fine this generation

If they do high end gpus next gen they may capture more of that audience

[ashen spindle]

dont forget JPR made classics like these

https://www.jonpeddie.com/news/leaked-information-reveals-intel-gpu/

Intel is expected to announce a “chicklet” design

a replacement GPU design for the Italian bridge device

The GPU will drive HDMO, Displaying Port, and USB-si displays at very large resolutions

[unkempt lake]

chicklet...

if they put chicken nuggies in my gpus sign me up

a chicken nuggie is smaller than a chicken tendie

And it therefore a chicklet

[wild coyote]

Hellooooo ladies (and gentlemen), I have formatted my drive and put a clean boot of Windows 11, as some BSOD with an error I've never seen before happened. I will now have to commence downloading lots of stuff to get back on gaming. If you have something that can speed up the process, ping me 🔥

[ashen spindle]

save tools on a usb stick if you know it beforehand

or get faster internet thats all you can do really

[wild coyote]

🤷 usually I keep things that I need on a separate drive, but anything helps

And faster internet is not available for me, building has a contract with my internet provider. 100Mbps/10Mbps - 1 Euro

and that's all I can get

[ashen spindle]

you could get mobile internet from any provider

[wild coyote]

😭 where the hell can I get a 40tb nas with my wallet

[wild coyote]

My area sucks ass, had to change mobile internet providers due to budgetting

🤷 shit happens, oh well

House is always cleaned, I don't have a car since I don't have a license, cannot do woodworking as I do not have the money/tools, I've got about 2-3 hours before I'll probably be knocked out from tiredness

oof, that requires a beer, which sadly I do not have

Oh for sure xdd

[graceful wedge]

operagx 80% cpu usage
that explains the lag
was running at 100% cpu usage now im at 8% after closing it
some weird funky buisness going on and i dont like it

[ashen spindle]

just use chrome

[graceful wedge]

so pc crashed

what browsers does everyone use?

[ashen spindle]

chrome

[dull hollow]

brave

adblock stopped working on opera

[ashen spindle]

sometime this year, chorme just works

[graceful wedge]

went with edge

since i already have it installed

[ashen spindle]

works too its the same thing for the most part

[sudden imp]

Why does safari have the edge logo

[lunar elm]

opera lowk suck balls

well, gx does

[lunar elm]

personally brave is my go-to

[magic minnow]

I use Zen Browser

Wtf

Ohhh ok I got spooked

[pale sigil]

[magic minnow]

Weren’t they behind some controversy a while back?

[halcyon moss]

Yes, some links advert hijacking

Immoral

But not absolutely faith breaking

I'm sticking to firefox

[leaden kiln]

I like firefox on my computer but I'm sticking to chrome on my phone

I tried kagi search engine recently too and it's pretty nice

[rain quiver]

I folded and bought a switch 2

[raw zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/60fps-knee-slapper-spongebob-milkcord-gif-27449345

[rain quiver]

My last handheld was a og psp tho

[nimble arch]

Switch 2 is based

Enjoy the Mario Karty World

[rain quiver]

Yeah thats the game coming with it i still dk what games ima buy

But ik im getting bayonetta 2 and 3 once i finish 1 on pc

[nimble arch]

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are very good on the updated versions

[raw zephyr]

the switch 2 is basically the same as switch 1 on release, basically only 1 game worth getting

[nimble arch]

4K60 HDR for TV output

[rain quiver]

Theres a 2 games for $100 voucher i might get

And i think ima buy some used carts locally for cheap then buy their enhanced upgrades for $10

[nimble arch]

Some of the older games have free upgrades but those aren't as ambitious. Such as Super Mario Odyssey which gets a nice resolution bump despite being a Switch 1 app running in BC mode.

[rain quiver]

Ye i was told the zelda games have $10 upgrades

Or i could get the membership which includes the upgrades and some classic games but i still dunno whats worth it yet

[nimble arch]

Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom have free upgrades but aren't Switch 2 native apps

Probably a conversation for #🎮│game at this point

[thick elk]

For me firefox has just always been the choice for me, used it since 1.0 never really switched away from it, even though I should have during it's dark period.
Also use it on my phone in the form of fennec, not too much issues nowadays. Apart from them being stubborn and not supporting webusb

[wheat plume]

wait wait is this a 60HE in the optimum case?!

from this video https://youtu.be/pj5b-PNqOns

[reef patrol]

...yes?

[wheat plume]

Why tf is the demo game for Switch 2 20 euro?!

should it not be free and included with the console like Astro is on PS5?!

Or free but not preinstalled like Aperture Desk Job for Deck?!

[reef patrol]

The YT video comments section is THAT way.

[wheat plume]

I may get a Switch 2 OLED once those drop in 3 years time

[thick elk]

I don't know if it does, original switch did not have the best of screens, this one is pretty good. So may very well be that Nintendo decides it's not enough of an upsell

[wheat plume]

hmmm wonder what refresh they will do then xd cause you know they gonna do one eventually

Seems you need to login to your Nintendo account every single time you buy anything in the eShop ... even if you buy things at the same time one after the other

ooo Pro Controller 2 has two rear buttons :D

Finally, its actually Pro now!

[crimson wigeon]

But does it still only have digital triggers

[wheat plume]

yeah .-.

[nimble arch]

I think the issue for a Switch 2 OLED is VRR flicker

[thick elk]

Honstly can't see myself buying the switch 2 anytime soon after the steam deck and hopefully at some point the steam deck 2.
May end up emulating switch 2 games at some point.

[ashen spindle]

Can’t have vrr flicker if you just don’t support vrr ez fix

[nimble arch]

Switch 2 is VRR though

For the internal screen at least

[thick elk]

May sound bad but I personally don't mind it when I run an unlocked frame rate on my steam deck but never been that sensitive to screen tearing so there is that.

[wheat plume]

Switch 2 ATM only runs 60hz when docked, but Cyberpunk runs at 40Hz so it DOES run the display at 120hz to be 1/3 scale to the refresh rate

[wheat plume]

I never got screen tearing on the Deck when I unlock the FPS

AMD tends to not have any tearing, at least in my limited experience

When I get my desktop GPU, I will see if that tears or not...

[ashen spindle]

That’s just not how it works at all

[wheat plume]

?

[ashen spindle]

AMD or Intel or nvidia don’t have better tearing or worse

[thick elk]

It definitely does have it, if you set the deck to allow tearing and unlock the framerate.

[wheat plume]

I have done that a lot before

[thick elk]

Just don't get too bothered by it.

[wheat plume]

I cant stand tearing ;-;

I couldnt play Minecraft under Windows 11 due to it :/

even trying to enable systemwide vsync in Nvidia Control Panel didnt solve the tearing in Minecraft for me

[steady sail]

i never noticed tearing in minecraft

[balmy vector]

Lana moment

[ashen spindle]

Any Game on any Hardware can have it, if you notice it depends on often it happens and hust varies person to person. And there’s a lot of settings in drivers and what not that could be forcing vsync or similar on that would hide it

But freesync/gsync aside nvidia/AMD are the same they can’t really influence that

[analog sinew]

you gotta give more context to that question

why are you surprised the two products designed for each other are combined

[wheat plume]

im surprised this person has a 60he in the first place

its nice to see them out in the wild like that too :D

[iron wave]

That's not a TV.

Oh it's 3DS 3D too.

[lyric hatch]

Yeah not as far as I know LG and Sony stopped manufacturing them back in 2017

[iron wave]

So only projectors?

It's crazy to think how old industry giants can be sold off like this to... well hobbyists essentially.

In unrelated news. Still trying to solve SO's internet woes. I am horribly out of touch with Wifi.
Can I just buy a bog standard access point, and have it connect to my Wifi as a "client" (i.e. not passing on signals as a booster or anything like that), and connect stuff on its Ethernet ports like a switch?

She's not super willing to let me tear down her PC for an extended period of time to swap the wifi card out properly, and she just needs basic office grade internet, so wifi would normally be fine.

Right now I have a very standard TP-Link ufo/disc style router.

[halcyon moss]

There are some, I have done it in the past (15 years ago) with openwrt

https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/wifi-bridging/products/udb

Quite pricy, but might do what you wanf

[north belfry]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/167181566978555904

I was wondering something in here can someone help me out please?

[ashen spindle]

if they do they will look at general

[reef patrol]

Man... that's pricy for... just using an AP in the reverse. Ah well. Might just gamble on another USB wifi adaptor, and see if it's stable enough 😄

[iron wave]

Only nerds care about that brand now, makes it cheap.

[iron wave]

I've done this with a decent used old consumer router with Open-WRT installed. It worked fairly well but your mileage may vary.

[pale sigil]

How much do you care about speed @reef patrol

Like what's your internet speed and are you using it for heavy local usage

I bought an Xclaim AP-Xi-3 super cheap and flashed it with firmware as it's just a Ruckus R500

https://ms264556.net/ruckus/Xi3ToR500Conversion

Extremely good value

[halcyon moss]

I don't know this product, but he wants a device that consumes a wifi signal and then ethernets it over to a pc

[halcyon moss]

It's a special bot often sold product..

And a poe injector :p

[fair gull]

get smth like an re450 from tplink

pretty sure the manual mentioned smth about basically acting as a bridge

https://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/RE450(EU)_V1_UG.pdf at 4.1 in the manual

[pale sigil]

Oh

I just read AP

[reef patrol]

TP-Link TL-WN8200ND
Wifey went out and bought one of these. Antennas can be unscrewed, and the cable is replaceable. Should hopefully be strong enough to reach the existing router as well as her failing card. And I won't have to open the PC 😄

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[fair gull]

wish you the best of luck. i had only shit experience with the usb adapters from tplink

mainly constant wifi connection loss and such

[reef patrol]

Same. Had one I returned when we moved here as a temporary solution to work.

[fair gull]

my solution was to sneak the wifi card into my GFs PC when she was sleeping

[reef patrol]

It's an ITX PC with a 120mm AIO and the wifi card screwed into the motherboard. It'd be a several hours long process just to get the card out, let alone replace it with something that fits.

[pale sigil]

Joke or? Xd

[fair gull]

no like thats what i legit did

she was sleeping during daytime and i just put the wifi card in during that time

[pale sigil]

This bad boy got me through months of forced WiFi

I was impressed

[iron wave]

Just run a cable across the molding.

[pale sigil]

I thought I was going to only get like 100 max but it was like 400!

Was that aimed at me?

[loud hemlock]

How do you guys clean thermal paste off of CPU pins? Very small amount at the edges:

I haven't tried it in a motherboard yet, unsure if it needs more cleaning or not

[umbral heron]

It's most likely that thermal paste is non-conductive, so I'd say it's enough

[reef patrol]

I don't.

[loud hemlock]

You guys think this works as is?

[ashen spindle]

That’s a new one lol I’d just check with a pin diagram if the ones that are covered seem to be in a area that’s used for more anything and if not just get putting it back in

[reef patrol]

What Cals said. Even if that thing is lathered in thermal compound and it's everywhere in the socket, the pins should still make normal contact.

Linus does this all the time, just to provoke people's OCD

[ashen spindle]

If it’s important pins where the paste is on top maybe some rubbing alcohol and just put it into that and see if it moves away

[reef patrol]

Just isn't worth potentially bending pins imo. Trying to fix a non issue with a potential snapped pin.

[ashen spindle]

Well if it’s blocking contact between pin and socket that’s not good

The in between doesn’t matter only where it covers the top of a pin might

[loud hemlock]

I removed this CPU from a friend's motherboard yesterday and the CPU got stuck to the heatsink, as usual

When unsticking it, some paste got into the pins

[sudden imp]

The paste doesn’t seem to be that much at all

[loud hemlock]

Cool I'll send it then

[iron wave]

Isopropanol alcohol should work, just be careful and it doesn't need to be perfect.

[unkempt lake]

Yep its not enough to worry

[ashen spindle]

Yeah if it wont work try getting it off the Pins that seem covers that should be easy enough as it seems to only be one or two

[unkempt lake]

Iso in a little squeeze bottle

Should get off enough that he won't need to rub it off

[rough osprey]

just some paper towel to get it off the top of the pins

[loud hemlock]

Yeah that's basically what I did

[rough osprey]

after the picture?

[loud hemlock]

Ye

[rough osprey]

should be fine then

[loud hemlock]

5 beeps of death in post

Here I go reseating the thing

[viscid moon]

I never cleaned what goes down there but at the same time I don't think I ever take the processor out only when I upgrade

I use isopropyl alcohol on what I can touch on top of it, mostly when I clean my PC fully and remove the cooler

[loud hemlock]

I think it might be those corner ones that have paste on top

[viscid moon]

That seems to be too little for it to not work 🤔

afaik those PGA processors do most of the contact on the sides of the pins, not on the tips

[loud hemlock]

There it is

[reef patrol]

[somber coral]

i thought i had it bada

[unkempt lake]

The sticks feel fucking amazing tho

[analog sinew]

theyre the literal same shit

[wheat plume]

This is part of Nintendo's plan to get more money than usual from customers cause you'll have to buy new Joycons so often

[analog sinew]

its crazy

[tribal dirge]

they do feel pretty good

[wheat plume]

Apparently the pro controller is massively upgraded in how the sticks feel

I hate that the top part is a different color though

[rough osprey]

i mean 2 year warranty for stick drift

[analog sinew]

yay more ewaste instead of building sth that lasts

[rough osprey]

can they do hall effect next to magnets

[analog sinew]

yes

thats what calibration or shielding is for

[rough osprey]

there was some problem with the meta controllers i think

where u cant really use them there

[analog sinew]

or dont attach with magnets ig

[rough osprey]

hmm

they are pretty strong

and right next to the joystick

[unkempt lake]

nope

[unkempt lake]

I did grab one cuz nico and i always fought for our only pro controller

And holy shit

Its insane how good the sricks are

Better than my hall effect gulikit kk3 max i use on my pc

Which is not something i expected

[wheat plume]

I already really loved how the first pro controller felt

Except the digital triggers..

[unkempt lake]

Only gripe i have with the 2

[rough osprey]

maybe ill get an adapter

[unkempt lake]

But it's way better than the slidy system

[rough osprey]

and use my xbox elite controller

[unkempt lake]

Also uh... i only ever had stick drift one one xbox controller and one joycon in my whole life

I generally break my triggers

Not my sticks

Like

[rough osprey]

not being able to compensate stick drift is a skill issue

[unkempt lake]

Idk im much more worried about fucking up triggers on my controllers

Specifically the R trigger

I broke it on ps3, 360, one, series x even my fucking nintendo DS and DSI

IDK WHAT PEOPLE DO TO THEIR STICKS

I BREAK TRIGGERS

[rough osprey]

same

i dont break stuff in general

[unkempt lake]

My switch right stick drifted like... a year ago? And i had it since 2017

I just cracked it open and installed a gulikit cuz nintendo apparently doesn't offer pokemon lets go joycons anymore cuz they old

And they were like ooo we can give you a neon yellow one instead of pikachu yellow

[crimson wigeon]

Ah yes, making it be crappy phone pics instead of proper screenshots makes it a lot more legit

[bright briar]

relax trigger breaker

[leaden kiln]

slight stick drift on my knuckles

never dare using the joystick click again since it'll probably just get worse

[tribal dirge]

I would rather have them use magnets than the shitty rails that they used to use lmao

Also the magnets aren't built into the controller, they are built into the console

The controller uses the buttons on it to actually attach to the console because they are made of steel

Which is really smart in my opinion

[tender geyser]

guys you know some good magnetic switches for rhythm games i just started my journey with mechanical keyboards

[vapid ruin]

Regular lekker v2 can do fine, some even prefer the full 4mm it gives. Owlab ti he/Geon Raw feels nice and sound nice, and I'm using owlab ti he currently to play. There's also another option, TTC Kom/Pom but I haven't tried them but they have better stem wobble if you care about that.

You can find more info about them and where to buy here https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/

Also other switch options though personally, rhythm game wise, just go with something that feel and sound nice to you and it's already great enough.

[crimson wigeon]

Wooting started out with those but HE turned out to be better in every way

[analog sinew]

the cons are long. Prone to problems with dirt and debris, bad analog detection, prone to misactuation in bright light, dont last as long... Dunno what the benefits are really

[marsh glade]

Pros is lasers are cool

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah, can confirm, happens sometimes with my W2

[marsh glade]

That's only a problem for non-gamers though

Real gamers have blackout curtains

[analog sinew]

it has to be like direct sunlight to illuminate the sensor indirectly, but it can happen.

its not a big issue, just another item on the long list of issues

and I'm not aware of any pros

[sick agate]

real gamers use sunlight to make their setup more aesthetic

[vapid ruin]

Just simulate the sun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqBsHSwPgw

[shadow minnow]

Real gamers dont need those they dont have windows - attic, basement or just bricked window

[marsh glade]

Better a bricked window than a bricked system

[balmy vector]

Keeps the room nice and toasty

[vapid ruin]

cant wait to see this benchmarked against SteamOS installation on the same thing

unless it's just windows but with a fancy UI and the telemetry is still there

[quasi portal]

why would microsoft ever skip out on the opportunity to collect data

[pale sigil]

Idk why it's being called the Xbox handheld lol

[marsh pewter]

because it runs the xbox app I guess

[analog sinew]

clickbait

[unkempt lake]

Cuz it runs the special windows xbox thing and had its ergonomics designed in collab with xbox controller peeps

[tribal dirge]

I am curious to see how the UX compares to SteamOS

I am glad there are more competitors now

and it was only a matter of time before microsoft jumped into handhelds given the ludicrous success of the steamdeck and Nintendo switch

[vapid ruin]

a console that only has microsoft store, that sounds nice

[tribal dirge]

if the experience is nice, I might just have this on my gaming laptop and gaming pcs too

if they expand this special version of windows to other platforms

[crimson wigeon]

Based on what little I saw in the announcement, it looked pretty usable

Hopefully that gets Valve to do some improvements ha ha who am I kidding

[tribal dirge]

the interface looks slick yeah

[rough osprey]

no oled :(

[random turtle]

Hey I’ve got a 4090 i9 14000k and good cooling top range December build but my pc now seems to be slow any ideas on what could cause this is mainly a gaming pc and nothing else used on it for

[pale sigil]

So it's not windows windows?

[unkempt lake]

Ye

[ashen spindle]

define slow, whats going on in what game etc.

[random turtle]

Literally any game in good picture quality think it’s the fact that mb makers set limits wrong and watched a whole video on it and the game I was trying sm2 loaded perfectly now lol

Also my cpu was fine brand new is like December November time old now so has degraded I recon and now struggling on default settings

What the wordsalad was that

[analog sinew]

Degradation is slow and a small amount no way it is that

[ashen spindle]

if your cpu is degraded it would crash not be lower performance and you could just get a replacement

also what cpu you have, you didnt specify which one

much more likely its overheating or something else is wrong

[lyric hatch]

You don't know the 14000k?

[umbral heron]

14900k
it IS overheating

waste of sand CPU

[lyric hatch]

My cpu is going to be 7 years old soon 👴

wooting salary gotta be crazy

[umbral heron]

yeah, like socks

idk my bank account has infinite money

i thought it stops at zero but it keeps going lower

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rough osprey]

🔥

[somber coral]

does wooting employees make 6 digits

i would assume they make a lo tsince wooting is probably the most popular gaming keyboard

[viscid moon]

I don’t really believe any HE keyboard is even close to “the most popular gaming keyboard”

They are expensive and very niche, and you only get into them after some research

[balmy vector]

Its popular, but normal mechs are still in the widest audience id assume

[viscid moon]

But 6 digit salaries in IT is not like it’s something crazy, quite normal depending on where you live

[marsh glade]

6 figures in Lekker switches

[balmy vector]

When will it transfer into tikkens though

[marsh glade]

No but you can start accumulating tikkens moving forward

[balmy vector]

[lyric hatch]

[sudden imp]

Wooting employees get paid in Calder coin which gets rug pulled before the end of the year

[fair gull]

6 digits of kcal a day maybe

are switches that high calorie?

no but snacks

Though no one says that Chinese hackers are this close to get into T239's bootloader

[fair gull]

they are already in

[vapid ruin]

possibly

besides, if they show it now, Nintendo would patch it immediately so better use that opportunity to find another way that can't be patched

Parents are very involved in student housing. Not uncommon for middle class here.

[steady sail]

u have a faulty audio stuff, just reinstall windows

or just reinstall both of these
• Microsoft Visual C++ 20XX Redistributable - x64
• Microsoft Visual C++ 20XX Redistributable - x86

[elfin niche]

I already reinstalled windows, installed drivers but still the same

[steady sail]

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/audiodgexe/0c86aef4-81a5-480e-9389-d9652fee1d21 try this

[reef patrol]

If you reinstalled Windows, and it randomly reboots (no bluescreen I assume?) you have a hardware issue.

RAM, CPU or Motherboard.

Possibly the PSU as well, if you can provoke it.

[elfin niche]

Everything is new in my pc except my gpu which is 3090

[minor citrus]

might still be other stuff, modern motherboards can auto install software somehow

[elfin niche]

No it didnt install driver on its own

[elfin niche]

Used for a month or 2 without issue

[elfin niche]

I'll try this, uninstall audio driver, reinstall VC++ and restart. Might take some time before BSOD or else its fixed

[lunar elm]

cant wait to build in this

[elfin niche]

When it restarts, it always BSOD, could it be the GPU too?

[reef patrol]

If there's a BSOD, use Bluescreenview to see what file caused it.

It's always a strong clue

[elfin niche]

can i install to see it now or does it have to BSOD after i install BSV

[reef patrol]

They're logged.

[elfin niche]

i have no idea what all these are

if im not wrong nv is related to nvidia stuff

[reef patrol]

That's your nVidia graphics driver crashing HARD.

[elfin niche]

hm. i might know whats going on.

i repasted my gpu, like how i do it every time. this might be the issue.

its gonna be a lot of trial and error before i find the right pressure to tighten those screws.

[reef patrol]

[elfin niche]

well im going to sleep now, with what i can do on the software side, if it crashes AGAIN, i really have to repaste everything from scratch. this same card did this few years ago but different behavior.

i will take photo and show u how janky my 3090 is when i have the time to do it.

thanks for showing me the BSV. learnt something new today ❤️

Apple needs some meat

Just wait until i switch to android theyre gonna regret it

Finally adding features so you can actually use the iPad Pro as a proper computer

just put macos on ipads 😭

it would be so much better

youre beta

🤝 TOXIC

[rough osprey]

where alpha

[analog sinew]

Look in the mirror 🐺

[vagrant pagoda]

great minds think alike

[rough osprey]

[nimble arch]

Wrong

Windows 10/11 are completely ass on the Surface Pro devices

macOS on iPad would not be any different

Surface Pro devices are mostly x86

[vagrant pagoda]

no

only the 11 has an arm

[nimble arch]

Surface RT was ARM-based

Also the new Surface Pro X that is ARM

[vagrant pagoda]

before that pro ment x86

only the newest pro model has an arm version, before that the only surface arm devices were the RT and the Duo

Surface RT was arm

when it was new it was the only surface

but it did so poorly MS released the Pro along with the RT 2

and retroactivly renamed the surface to surface rt

then the RT3 came out as the last ARM model as it did so poorly

MS kept making the pros, and the RT was relaced by the Go as a cheaper option than the pro

[sudden imp]

Okay so whats new with the iphone?

[astral haven]

It was the only small surface
The first surface was a table

Not even joking

apple beta is out

[old marlin]

wdym apple always was beta

[rough osprey]

man the glass looks nice

[charred forge]

holy new apple UI looks bad

the only case there it looked decent it was on apple tv

[sudden imp]

Where’s the recap?

[charred forge]

apple yt channel

9GB OS26

[rough osprey]

mine is 15

🤔

[charred forge]

maybe my glass is cheaper

😄

[pale sigil]

How is iPad OS

With the new update

[rough osprey]

i dont wanna try

ios buggy enough

gotta revert cuz some apps dont work

[mystic cobalt]

My DMs are open for the Apple user's that need moral support after this current update 🤣

[rough osprey]

some stuff is nice but other things still need work

like the app icons

[wheat plume]

Wtf is happening?!
I must see what this update is now xxdd

[umbral heron]

Just another update when Apple broke something

[lyric hatch]

Glass UI that makes things harder to read

[charred forge]

OS26 just tried. idk. it feels like i downloaded custom theme

they should have stick with frosted glass effect instead of this liquid glass

[vagrant pagoda]

i forgot about that just as much as microsoft did

[charred forge]

this reminds me of photoshop bevel & emboss effect back in 2008

[viscid moon]

why they name it such a shit number 🤣

[viscid moon]

feels like a custom ROM

[charred forge]

yea

[viscid moon]

Same, I actually read a lot on my iPad so don't want to break it 😄

[unkempt lake]

Last time i tried a beta was ios 7 on an iphone 4

[charred forge]

these type of themes

[unkempt lake]

Regretted it

[charred forge]

2-3 years ago i seen a lot of ads of this bs

also tabnav animation looks goofy

[astral haven]

You say that but Microsoft keeps updating em
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-hub-3-for-business/8p19nxpc1rsb

[vagrant pagoda]

the og surface and the hub are actually different teams though

the whole speel with the og surface is it knew what you put on it

[astral haven]

🤷 its been a decade, and the surface dial exists

[umbral heron]

Surfaces are still quite popular
We have like 5 of them per every conference room at work for some reason
There's cheaper alternatives made specifically for this

[viscid moon]

I know some people that bought them and like them. I honestly haven't bought any laptop in like 10 years so not sure what is popular nowadays xD

[vagrant pagoda]

dose that even support more than like 5 non ms apps though?

[viscid moon]

Oh, the hubs I haven't seen them

[vagrant pagoda]

i wanted one but nothing uses it

i have and use a space mouse

[astral haven]

🤷 not saying it's good, it does exist tho

[viscid moon]

In my company they have some samsung tvs and some shit that connects to zoom with camera/microphones

not super sure since I have been to the office like 3 times

The only cool thing is that they have a whiteboard and you can draw on top of the screen share :v

[wheat plume]

How tf you meant to read that???

I think it says Library

This reminds me of the clear plastic tech crave of the early 2000s xd

And Windows Vista

[frozen ingot]

not from an angle filmed by another phone?

[charred forge]

it is bad design even if you use it yourself, i just tested myself

many cases there impossible to read

all they care is how cool is their new shiny liquid glass looks

[lyric hatch]

Doesn't even look great in their own slides

[charred forge]

lol

[analog sinew]

grapic design is my passion

[charred forge]

its really bad. this crap wont go through WCAG 2.1

they could just make glossy blur background

[rain quiver]

Apple peaked in 2020

And i wonder why

I gotta somehow stay patient until the s26 ultra is out cuz im so close to buying a 25

[exotic plinth]

They peaked when steve jobs was alive

[dry vessel]

If anyone has any insight that would be great, I put in a support ticket yesterday afternoon and never received a confirmation email. Does anyone have experience with this? Did you receive a immediate confirmation or do they take a few days to respond?

[ashen spindle]

yes people dont work on sundays generally

[rain quiver]

Yeah but then downfall lowkey worse

[dry vessel]

just didnt know if there was a automated confirmation. I'm trying to rule out error.

[rain quiver]

Cause i been happy with iphones my whole life until the os started to suck peen

also open source

[rain quiver]

And whatever update im complaining about made me suddenly go from a fast type to making hella typos

Typing is so aids rn

[rain quiver]

Idk if my macbook even supports that shit

[sudden imp]

EW

[nimble arch]

https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/09/apple-will-end-support-for-intel-macs/

Surely it makes more sense to do that this year with the big redesign?

[astral haven]

Intel Macs were still sold by Apple (refurb) 2 years ago
3 years of software support is a little short for apple

[somber coral]

also @unkempt lake i did a 3dmark test

[worn kernel]

that looks horrendous

if you're gonna do that at least have the glass be more frosted

the red home icon overlapping with the red in the flower really makes me mad

free waste of processing power rendering all the blur and reflections and stuff

[sudden imp]

it looks hideous

[astral haven]

I think it might work if there's parallax depending on how you hold the phone?

[worn kernel]

that won't undo the horrible contrast

[ashen spindle]

doubt it wastes any relevant processing power when its just blur between two 2d images

[astral haven]

You'd be surprised.

[worn kernel]

who knew that layering greyish-red and grey on top of each other would look bad

also am i the only one that thinks the insane amount of bounciness in the animations looks terrible

i'd rather it be fast while still being tactile, some of the things they showed just feel muddy

[astral haven]

I'm not gonna whine about it until they push it to my phone 🤷
By then, I trust that the people who installed the beta will give feedback to make it solid.

But a lot of the times, animations that you aren't triggering look a lot worse than it feels when you are using them.

[worn kernel]

i've moved off of iOS entirely so :shrug:

[astral haven]

So why do you care?

I'm forced to care because my work deploys iOS only

[worn kernel]

damn it

[astral haven]

Also ipados may finally be good?

[sudden imp]

maybe glass might be cool with the black tint

[magic minnow]

I fuck with it

[bright briar]

"liquid glass" looks so ass

[magic minnow]

This is the modern day Frutiger Aero and I’m all for it

[rough osprey]

it has potential, but it's probably the worst first beta in many years

[magic minnow]

Did you try it or just watching reviews? I’ve been hearing it’s really buggy

[rough osprey]

i tried yesterday

but had to go back to 18

cuz important apps didnt work

[magic minnow]

It’s beautiful

[rough osprey]

the settings app is so bad on clear

[magic minnow]

I haven’t seen it I just asked my friend to use that wallpaper lol

[rough osprey]

basically makes all the symbols black and white

which makes it very hard to find stuff xD

[old marlin]

Jfc that is horrible

They all look the same

[magic minnow]

Someone doesn’t like the 2000s aesthetic

[rough osprey]

having that look but with the main thing being colored 🤔

[old marlin]

Someone hasn't lived in the 2000s

[magic minnow]

I have but okay

[dusky nova]

always horrible dealing with poseurs 😔 ✊

[old marlin]

Then you should know that this ain't 2000s aesthetics

[dusky nova]

anyways from a practical standpoint that is very unnecessarily difficult to navigate

and y2k aesthetics certainly did not emphasize this either

[magic minnow]

So this wasn’t the popular during 2006?

[dusky nova]

this is more like it, basically the exact opposite of flat and uniform materials we have right now

[old marlin]

No?

Look at xp/vista or early ios

All very colorful

[dusky nova]

yep literally what i posted xdddd

the opposite of flat materials/defined easy color schemes found in modern design languages

[rough osprey]

the clear one is just a mode

[old marlin]

White and silver was not too unpopular but they would still use recognizable and distinguishable shapes

[rough osprey]

its not the main setting

[magic minnow]

I did say it’s a modern aero

[dusky nova]

poser aero

[old marlin]

aero was very colorful

[dusky nova]

:pppp

[magic minnow]

Yeah shocker that you need to change your wallpaper so it bleeds through the “glass”

[old marlin]

Aero has color to the glass and icons still were recognizable and vibrant

[rough osprey]

aero ugly

[dusky nova]

charmingly disgusting*

[magic minnow]

[dusky nova]

modern design languages tend to still exist for pretty good reasons too

[rough osprey]

simple

easy

[magic minnow]

Here’s a video as well

[dusky nova]

yeah turns out we didnt just move on because we lost all enchantment and wonder etc

people like to READ!!! and they would like to do it COMFORTABLY >.<

[rough osprey]

not even apple knowing how to make this makes me scared for apps devs and all

[dusky nova]

the only aero thing about this is the wallpaper

and even that is hanging by a thread

[magic minnow]

[dusky nova]

aero UIs were accompanied with refreshing wallpapers AND aggressive UI icons/elements

[old marlin]

I don't even like skeumorphic to begin with

But this is like skeumorphic combined with modern minimalism in all the wrong ways

[dusky nova]

nobody who isnt stricken with nostalgia does yeah

and yeah it just radiates big poseur energy, this is as kindly as i can put it sorry

[rough osprey]

it doesnt work in light mode cuz of contrast

but having some glass elements when most stuff is dark looks nice

like the notifications for example

[magic minnow]

I think it’s more of having such a different change

[rough osprey]

idk what this is tho 😭😭

[magic minnow]

Makes it easier not to go to android

[rough osprey]

it may get more people to android lol

[old marlin]

Because you have an iconpack now?

Or because you have navigation bars with illegible text on them?

[magic minnow]

Because of the ui change

[old marlin]

Ah,because no android ever got those

[magic minnow]

Brain will be excited for a while and I’ll get to see if the new Pixel 10 will be trash or not

Because so far the only thing android has going is the One Plus 13 but I feel like it’s too late to get it at this point

[lyric hatch]

Being able to customize your phone is pretty good incentive (like installing an icon pack)

[rough osprey]

icon pack with gyro animations

[old marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/steel-ball-run-johnny-joestar-horse-sbr-spin-gif-13583622626256256597

[analog sinew]

north is better for rgb and there is no real reason for south

[pale sigil]

[north belfry]

Oh ok thank you @analog sinew

[pale sigil]

I feel like I've just watched a first gen iPad touch get updated

[unkempt lake]

Why do you morons install ios betas

[magic minnow]

To test

[old marlin]

To cope

[analog sinew]

cuz they want new features

[rough osprey]

this is fun

[pale sigil]

That is actually awful

[north belfry]

Also do optimum key caps feel good or do I need to buy different ones?

[magic minnow]

Android just died

[pale sigil]

I hate this

What is apple doing

[unkempt lake]

I remember putting ios 7 beta 1 on my iphone 4 and my phone kept calling 911 on its own

[magic minnow]

Saving technology

[unkempt lake]

I learned my lesson about ios betad

[rough osprey]

testing ui before making ar glasses

[analog sinew]

apple is reinventing the phone

[dusky nova]

i dont

in fact i dont even upgrade

[magic minnow]

Phone 2

[dusky nova]

i enjoy troll store :)

[magic minnow]

I do want a smaller sized flagship

[unkempt lake]

But seriously using a beta is dumdum on your daily device

[dusky nova]

thats never happening im afraid been long since 13mini

[unkempt lake]

Yall gonna whine later when you have bugs

[pale sigil]

This reminds me of a launcher

[rough osprey]

the last couple ones before this were pretty stable

[pale sigil]

I can't quite remember the name

[dusky nova]

also this lmao, installing unstable OS on daily driver is just asking for trouble

never let curiosity take over!!!

[magic minnow]

I was excited for the OnePlus 13t

[unkempt lake]

Ubless you're an app dev you're a dumbass xd

[rough osprey]

no risk no fun

[dusky nova]

i say this while i tune ram on my main windows install (if the ram fails it also corrupts my install)

you could say im a nerdy adrenaline fiend

[pale sigil]

[rough osprey]

dont use clear

[pale sigil]

Makes me think of those shitty Linux dock themes

[analog sinew]

liquid?

[magic minnow]

You gotta use the right wallpaper

[pale sigil]

And super round is gross

[dusky nova]

liquid ass... READABILITY DEPARTMENT IS CALLING 🤳

there should be limits to novelty imo

like yeah shit do be looking cool but how would you feel about navigating uncomfortably xd

[unkempt lake]

Liquid screen protector through a software update? Brilliant

[pale sigil]

Jesus Christ

[rough osprey]

thats peak tho

although not sure why they showing it on a phone

[rough osprey]

on tv its nice

[pale sigil]

Snag are they thinking

[magic minnow]

Pixel 10 and Fold 7 are the only things I’m interested in right now

[old marlin]

And easily turns into an unreadable mess

[rough osprey]

with the right amount of background blur it doesnt

[old marlin]

Samsung isn't even doing the best fold out there

[rough osprey]

needs context aware glass frostedness

😭

[old marlin]

You can blur solid white all you want, that doesn't make it less white

[dusky nova]

ts so buns

[pale sigil]

It's so ugly wtf

[rough osprey]

then darker in those cases

aint nothing new

[old marlin]

Which it doesn't do

[rough osprey]

but they forgot to include it lol

[pale sigil]

This genuinely looks like one of those cheesy themes from cydia back in the early days

[dusky nova]

thats an oddly specific and familiar thought wtf

[rough osprey]

this isnt even what it looks like

the wifi thing is white with blue in the middle

[dusky nova]

wait i should check my ip4 if i was one of them LMAO

[rough osprey]

on beta

[pale sigil]

That's from their video

[rough osprey]

ye not sure then

[pale sigil]

https://youtu.be/jGztGfRujSE

[rough osprey]

it also says ios19 in beta sometimes 😭

[pale sigil]

Like, I've always found apple's design pretty nice

Wtf were they thinking

It's genuinely horrible, some elements are nice but wtf

[rough osprey]

i believe in their vision

[lyric hatch]

Wait till you see the new iPhone models

[rough osprey]

all glass

[pale sigil]

I wanted to go back to an iPad

I don't think I could anymore

On the right is painful

I could see it working better for an iPad though TBF

And apple TV makes more sense

But phones, this glass stuff is horrid

[magic minnow]

I’ve always wanted to be an iPad person but I just never use them

[pale sigil]

Omg

[rough osprey]

new window system is supposedly good tho

[pale sigil]

Windows vista

That's what I was thinking of

[rough osprey]

much more similar to mac os

[dusky nova]

i dont really have an use for ipad personally, not even drawing because i prefer pentablets

i like my m1 mba

[pale sigil]

Don't you have to buy apps to make their window management not shit on macos lol

I tried it in 2022 and it was so meh

[dusky nova]

if you are into tiling wms that is your only route yeah

[old marlin]

That is the apple™️ way™️

Gotta buy window manager pro

And software so you can alt tab between multiple instances of the same software

[lofty pivot]

Apple TV still among their most goated products

The one Apple product even non Apple users like

[magic minnow]

What was the headset called by Apple

[pale sigil]

I genuinely couldn't get into macos

It's just not good... Unless you do a stupid amount of shit to make it good.

[magic minnow]

Apple Vision lol there we go

[old marlin]

You mean the one you can't get the only approved cleaning cloth for if you loose it?

The vision pro

[pale sigil]

Anyone I ever speak to using it praise it but then go and explain that they buy tons of software to make it usable.

[magic minnow]

It was insane how people were dropping that much money for it at the time

[lofty pivot]

I feel it was all content creators though. I don’t know a single normal person that owns one

that product seemed totally worthless for average person

[analog sinew]

what happened to it?

[lyric hatch]

If they do it's an expensive paper weight at this point

[pale sigil]

Dozens of people got it!

[dusky nova]

3.5k for silly goggles or a high end vr setup

[magic minnow]

VisionOS26

[analog sinew]

[magic minnow]

Space boys!

[umbral heron]

They are still supporting that piece of corporate drone cosplay crap?

[magic minnow]

It has iPhone pass through now this feels crazy

Using your phone while wearing a VR Headset

[old marlin]

Why would you even need that

[magic minnow]

Idk lol

[old marlin]

I thought it could already access all features

[magic minnow]

You should be able to do it all on the headset rightv

[rough osprey]

mine bugging the last couple weeks

😭

[vapid ruin]

Finnally

[lofty pivot]

[vapid ruin]

Meta quest 3 like

[lofty pivot]

I swapped my old one for a 4k and it’s been so nice

[rough osprey]

[magic minnow]

I’m still waiting for the Index 2

[dusky nova]

SAMESIES

i love mine so much

[magic minnow]

Hopefully soon

[lofty pivot]

weird. Time for a trip to the Apple store where they oddly greet you in a line at opening

[dusky nova]

im even willing to "look" (hehe) past the low ppi

just because the damn thing feels so nice

[rough osprey]

the closest one is like 3h away from me 😭

i rather wait for a update lol

[lofty pivot]

I still never understand why they do that greeting thing every single day. I got creeped out by it when I went to pick up my laptop lol

[rough osprey]

they think they a luxury store or sum

[old marlin]

deckard will not be an index 2 lol

[lofty pivot]

they all line up and clap for the first customers like it’s a launch of something

[magic minnow]

Nooooo I was hoping

[lofty pivot]

I didn’t realize it was an every day thing until I went for opening one day to pick up my laptop

[magic minnow]

I just don’t wanna get an index and then have a newer version drop 2 months later

[old marlin]

USA culture

[lyric hatch]

Saw my first apple store recently in Korea

Guess NZs a little too small to have one

[umbral heron]

cult

[pale sigil]

What I find cringe is I had to arrange an appointment to enter the store.

[old marlin]

what

[pale sigil]

To return my iPad.

[magic minnow]

Wtf

[pale sigil]

Ye....

[lofty pivot]

was probably during Covid I guess

[pale sigil]

I went to the apple store and they were like appointments only, come back in 30 min we have a slot.

[pale sigil]

No

[lofty pivot]

Oh you mean for genius stuff yeah

[pale sigil]

No

[old marlin]

that seems immensley stupid

[lofty pivot]

They only do via appointments these days

[pale sigil]

Not genius stuff

Literally as I got to the door and went to enter I was stopped by someone.

Before they knew I was here to return.

[old marlin]

I can waltz into alternate, which is a certified apple dealer or whatever they call it and return whatever apple device I want as long as I am still within that period

[lofty pivot]

That’s odd, I’ve never been stopped entering the store before

[analog sinew]

apple is so weird

[pale sigil]

2022

[lofty pivot]

Oh that might still have been under Covid restrictions

they made all their stores appointment only during those years

[pale sigil]

Nah lol

There were no restrictions and plenty of people inside.

[candid locust]

yo i am so desperate rn i disassembled my pcb to change stock stabilizers miserably failed to swap them out and now i cant reassemble the pcb

welcome back, windows vista

I don't mind, Vista was based.

Widgets were king

[analog sinew]

aero always broke

[pale sigil]

I didn't hate vista tbh

[nimble arch]

Windows 7 was just Service Pack 3

[fair gull]

what about sp1 and 2 for 7

[nimble arch]

Those would’ve been 4 and 5 for Vista then

[fair gull]

ok i cant agree on any of those points then

[devout raptor]

how do I fix ac syndicate freezing my entire pc

[reef patrol]

Uninstall AC Syndicate.

[devout raptor]

i want to play it...

[fair gull]

play on windows 10

[devout raptor]

so this is a windows 11 issue?

[fair gull]

pretty sure i heard AC games have tons of issues on win11 24h2 specifically

[reef patrol]

Didn't they fix those within a week? After the drama.

[fair gull]

id imagine its what a lot of older games recently faced with UB being used

[devout raptor]

ah isnt that great

[fair gull]

afaik for some games not all

[reef patrol]

[devout raptor]

i was having trouble launching unity before but reinstalling it somehow fixed it

syndicate refuses to work at all tho

[fair gull]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/1ialrmk/comment/manmjn5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

apparently setting prio before pressing the any key seems to work

[devout raptor]

hmm

i guess i need to try my luck

because the issue evolved into it just freezing before i even press anything

ill try that once its done reinstalling

[umbral heron]

Are you using legit version?

[devout raptor]

yes

all games are on my ubi account

[umbral heron]

Unironically try sailor one
Ubisoft Connect may also cause problems with older AC games

[devout raptor]

seriously?

[umbral heron]

I can only play non-legit versions of ACIII and Black Flag for example

[devout raptor]

ive never sailed the seas when it comes to video games other than old gen console games for emulators

[devout raptor]

really

ive been playing black flag no problems for a month now

this is so strange

I searched on reddit and people had issues with freezing on non legit versions too

the most likely cause for syndicate in particular seems to be windows 11

[umbral heron]

For some people Unity works but Syndicate not
For other it's the other way around
I have no idea what they did with those games
Non-legit version may help, it may not, but if all methods fail it's good to try

[devout raptor]

allright

[reef patrol]

If it's the DRM that's crapping out, then cracking the game may legitimately be the solution. You'd lose out on all online stuff though, which with later AC is not insubstantial.

[devout raptor]

hmm

probably a viable solution for syndicate

I know black flag has social treasures, but it also has non supported online achievements that prevent 100% completion nowdays

even ac1 has a ton of issues because the game connects you to a server and freezes the game every 30 seconds

[umbral heron]

Can I have this

But with Linux?

[analog sinew]

THE SHIT MOUSE IS THERE :DD

[nimble arch]

The solution is to buy the Magic Trackpad for gestures and then use an MX Master 3S otherwise

[umbral heron]

Ah, Asahi still doesn't support M4 chips

I don't want macOS

Though I wonder if I can buy damaged one, just use shell and display, and stuff my own PC inside

[nimble arch]

I wish they'd just sell the iMac display as a monitor for an affordable price

[analog sinew]

haha apple and affordable

[reef patrol]

I just miss the days when iMac was repairable.

In the olden days, you could slide off the entire back and get full access to it - which was similar to a laptop with a separate PSU and HDD mounts. Very easy to repair.

Then later during the Intel days, you'd instead go in from the front by pulling the glass and LCD off (hend in with magnets)

Now it's just... not a repairable product, and Apple expects you to fork over money for a new Mac for the slightest thing 😄

[elfin niche]

Fixed my 3090 then sold it to my friend and got 9070 xt SL

I guess thats one way to fix the issue

[ashen spindle]

technically you could complain to microsoft xD apple said they would do the work to make it run if MS opens the windows on arm license xD then you could WSL on it probably

[umbral heron]

But Linux native

New idea
Buy damaged iMac
Stuff gaming laptop motherboard inside
Happy puter

[ashen spindle]

yeah well linux native aint happening and asahi dev leaving means that is also going to continue much slower

I just think it would be funny making apple port windows just to end up using it to use linux on it xD

[pale sigil]

Would still cost like 5k probably

[umbral heron]

Refurbished M1s cost like $600
Still too much

[magic minnow]

Wow Disney completely owns Hulu now

[umbral heron]

Technically since Dec '23

[magic minnow]

I know they had partial ownership
