[latent mural]

reminds me

my prother has an s7

and hasn't updated for like 6 months

[wheat plume]

if it was easy to use, why is it on IOS you need to leave the camera app, go to find the camera options in the system settings change them there then go back to the camera app?

[sick creek]

For what

[wheat plume]

changing the camera res and things

[sick creek]

Why tho

Set and forget

[sick creek]

Yea

Hahaha

[wheat plume]

Pop OS guides you the whole way through install and post install now

[sick creek]

Mac is more like tesla self driving

Lmao

[wheat plume]

xd

nah, manjaro goes as far as installing grpahics drivers for you

[fair gull]

why install arch when youre not proficient enough with bare bones linux distros

thats like trying to fly a plane when u never flew one

no

[plush summit]

XD

nope

no way

[sick creek]

Alolllll

[plush summit]

its a good os

for sure

best linux ever

[fair gull]

gentoo is good for learning

[plush summit]

but a pain in the as to set up

like gentoo

[wheat plume]

I wish the blur from light theme was in the dark theme too ;_;

Yeh, install Linux from scratch

😂

[fair gull]

it is... with gentoo you learn essential skills like: not giving a shit and just using any debian based distro like debian, ubuntu, mint whatever

[wheat plume]

it is a useable distro

[sick creek]

Gentoo is... compile everything

[wheat plume]

if you do it right....

[fair gull]

i told you

learn to read

[sick creek]

Nothing wrong with that but

Fuck having to find the right libc

[fair gull]

like the public lib in your city?

[sick creek]

Lmao

Its always on some basic html site

[fair gull]

the fuck kind of niche lib do you look for

[sick creek]

From 1998

[fair gull]

these days you just get .net core and youre set

[sick creek]

“Last updated 2019”

[wheat plume]

I am watching minecraft youtube video, and there is screen tearing, idk if its my laptop or his game that causing the tearing

[sick creek]

Hahaha

Prob his

[wheat plume]

le tearing

[sick creek]

U sure about dat

[wheat plume]

that water be splitting

[fair gull]

wait thats not how its supposed to look like?

[wheat plume]

it is possible on a game

it was terrible on windows

xd

[sick creek]

Sli

[plush summit]

@latent mural keep in mind that i dont play fps games

most of my games are fairly slower paced

[sick creek]

Sli can cause tearing visible in a screenshot

[wheat plume]

he has a freaking BEAST PC

[latent mural]

why do you need a sniper button then?

[plush summit]

so im not woried about 100 grams

[fair gull]

@proud nacelle tearing can even have multiple tears in 1 image

just sayin

[plush summit]

some of my games have terrible policy that keeps the current acceleration active when aiming....meaning thatit just zooms in my vision...but doesnt slow down my cursor

[latent mural]

you should've played starbound

[plush summit]

thigs fly by fast

[latent mural]

it had THE WORST tearing at some points

[plush summit]

g502 looks like the best option

[wheat plume]

Insurgency has the option to slow down sensitivity when aiming down sights

[latent mural]

and when you enabled vsync to fix it it had some horrible parralax problems

[wheat plume]

it also only zooms the part of the screen inside the sights

[plush summit]

buttons, some weight. on the fly dpi adjust

[latent mural]

get a g903 then?

[fair gull]

@proud nacelle yes it does not occur in games who said it does

[wheat plume]

windows has terrible screen tearing

[fair gull]

did i miss some convo shit here

[wheat plume]

even back when it came installed on my PC years ago

[fair gull]

i mean its obv lanas system

since tearing is the result of the display not refreshing at the same rate the video signal comes in

basically a desync

[wheat plume]

60FPS is literally the most common FPS

kk

[fair gull]

so?

[wheat plume]

why cant the OS know that and just be smooth

as soon as I got back to linux there was no tearing

[latent mural]

well

[wheat plume]

until I switched to Plasma anyway

but I know how to fix that

[latent mural]

maybe windows tries to push the most current picture

while your linux distro waited until it was finished

which can result in horrible frame times

[wheat plume]

why is it loading? im clearly using it

[fair gull]

easy fix lana

dont use linux

use macos

[latent mural]

ShrineOS

even has holy C

[wheat plume]

i dont want to pay 2 grand for a macbook

isnt it TempleOS?

[latent mural]

with networking capability

[fair gull]

shrine os is a cheap knockoff

[wheat plume]

ah..

[fair gull]

?

[latent mural]

it is templeos with extended features

[wheat plume]

xd

[fair gull]

no its not

templeos is only able to be procured by terry a davis

[latent mural]

we memed at work about setting up our firewall in that

[fair gull]

no other man alive can speak to god like he did

[latent mural]

terry a davis is not living though

[wheat plume]

it ShrineOS still flashing scrolling headache inducing

[latent mural]

btw

[wheat plume]

yeh..he dead

[fair gull]

@latent mural thus templeos shall stay the way it is

[latent mural]

our current firewall was set up when our company used an external it guy

runs on gentoo and was last updated in 2014

[wheat plume]

Yeah, run your PC only using binary

[latent mural]

sure

back in 2014

still gentoo though

[fair gull]

i dont have a firewall

[latent mural]

and we can't just throw it out

[fair gull]

we use stone walls

[latent mural]

well, at work we do

[fair gull]

why would u use a wall made of fire

thats terribly inconvenient

[latent mural]

ever tried climbing one?

[fair gull]

every tried sticking smth to it?

like shelves?

[latent mural]

reminds me

my uni got "hacked"

[latent mural]

with phishing emails

not my claims btw

and tbh no student clicked on the mail

because we get liek 10 spam mails from our uni

[latent mural]

tbh

well

there were phisshing mails

and our horrible it staff immediatley contacted the police

so now the mailing server is down

and we all have to switch our passwords

for whatever reasons

yes

100%

idk what they got

they should be lucky it wasn't gandcrab or some shit

[fair gull]

lucky it wasnt crabrave

[latent mural]

it's usually ms office macros

[fair gull]

oh ya those are the ones i get send most from customers

[crimson wigeon]

You're telling me importantdocument.doc.exe isn't legit?

[latent mural]

no

it's a normal office document

and if you enable macros you get fucked

[fair gull]

they always open them and then they are like "well we did get an email with an application for a job but we werent even looking for someone"

[latent mural]

yep

[fair gull]

and im like "why even fuckin open it"

[latent mural]

a lot of people use macros

we can't just disable them

yes

my boss uses them

[fair gull]

i use basic in some excel tables

[crimson wigeon]

Aren't macros disabled by default anyway, but I guess the document has some important "PLEASE CLICK TO ALLOW MACROS" thing

[fair gull]

also counts as macros

[latent mural]

you have to enable them

but many people just do that by reflex

[fair gull]

this is also partly M$ fault cause they could sandbox all macros

to just work on documents

[latent mural]

or limit their capabilities in some ways

[fair gull]

ya

[latent mural]

or give you a big fat warning when they try to downlaod shit

[crimson wigeon]

thing is the people ignore those

[latent mural]

btw, 2700x gold released

[crimson wigeon]

They see a dialog they immediately click it away

etc

[latent mural]

well not if it was a big alert which you ususally only see when it is illegitimate

and if it is a ransomware like gandcrab you are fucked

we do

still happens sometimes

we only had that happen thrice though

neither

[plush summit]

prodius is 121 grams?!?!?!

[latent mural]

was well made

[plush summit]

how the fuck

[latent mural]

@plush summit there will be a wireless version at a rumored 115g

[plush summit]

no wireless

[latent mural]

lol

just don't loose the dongle like a retard

[plush summit]

zero tollerance for wireless

[latent mural]

nah

[plush summit]

not true

[latent mural]

logitech wireless is really good

[plush summit]

it is

i just dont want to deal with the dolgle life

or the recharge life

fuk that

[latent mural]

yo udo use a desktop though?

[plush summit]

yes

[latent mural]

and "recharge life" is easy to handle

[plush summit]

i wish

[latent mural]

my gpw nededs to charge like every 3 days

[fair gull]

my g100s never needs a recharge

[latent mural]

if you leave it charging every night it's easy to do

or leave it on my powerplay mat

and it is always charged

[plush summit]

swiftpoint z is lighter than this thing

good god

[fair gull]

they dont

[latent mural]

good headphones really don't

I get like 14+ hours of use out of mine every day on the weekend

without any pain etc

[fair gull]

same

my astro a40 is super comfy

[plush summit]

only 14 hours?

[latent mural]

no big fan of astro personally

[plush summit]

i got a few months

[latent mural]

overpriced af imo

[fair gull]

they work for me

[latent mural]

I meant on end

[plush summit]

hesh 2

[fair gull]

and yes they are pricey but i got mine used

[plush summit]

lasted months with noo recharge in sight

[fair gull]

working great the 3 years i own it now

[latent mural]

I take my headphones of when sleeping

[fair gull]

paid 60bucks

[plush summit]

same

[fair gull]

new theyd have been 300

[latent mural]

paid like 250€

[fair gull]

altho i was thinking bout getting dt990 and a dedicated mic myself

yes

[latent mural]

don't have glasses personally, but with good headphones it shouldn't matter

[fair gull]

plus usually good headphones have earcups that also accomodate your ears as in the cups are tilted away on the backside so your ears dont get squished

never had my ears or head hurt so far

[latent mural]

the hd600/650 use memory foam pads and take a couple weeks until they feel best, accomodates for glasses

and my ears themselves don't touch my headphones at all

[fair gull]

can i use the memory foam in my mainboard?

same my ears dont touch any part but my skull does

[latent mural]

sure

[fair gull]

the pads keep the headphones a few mm off

plus no leather pads or this synth leather shit

[crimson wigeon]

Depends on the headphones

[latent mural]

depends

[fair gull]

nice plushy pads

[latent mural]

the ghhd600/650 are open

I can hear pretty much everything

sounds better though

[crimson wigeon]

e.g. my HD 598 is very very open so everyone around me can hear what I hear and I can hear everything from the outside world perfectly

[fair gull]

if u want good isolation you go with closed back or anc

if u want a bit better sound and hear shit u get open back

[latent mural]

you can get something like th dt770 though, which is closed

[fair gull]

same

i always use closed back

[latent mural]

open sounds better and I have my own room in a quiet town

[fair gull]

problem is that i have people living here

dont wanna hear em make the sex

[latent mural]

don't think so

bluetooth delay is horrible

[fair gull]

i mean just get a good BD studio/monitor pair

they have great sound isolation

[latent mural]

yea

dt 770 would be the best

at least if you don't wanna pay like 500€

[fair gull]

i mean

thats the question anyway

how much are u willing to spend

[latent mural]

yea

[fair gull]

like the dt770pro are godly

[latent mural]

dt770 are "just" 200€ though

[fair gull]

for the price

the 770pro is 160

but k

[latent mural]

they are worth the price

[fair gull]

idk where u paid 200 for a pair of 770s

[latent mural]

didn't pay for any

was the price I remembered

[fair gull]

na the pros are 160

the m are even cheaper

altho the pads on those arent that good

[latent mural]

even better

[fair gull]

imo

id always go with the pro ver

for the soft pads

[latent mural]

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/beyerdynamic-DT-770-PRO--250-Ohm--geschlossener-Premium-Hifi-Kopfhoerer_1291133.html

116€

a steal

[fair gull]

holy

[latent mural]

https://geizhals.de/beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro-459-046-a114313.html

normal pricing apparently

[fair gull]

msrp is literally 159€

i checked the pricelist we got from them

yama now i wonder

do i need an amp for the 770pro

[latent mural]

maybe

will likely sound better

but don't ask me what to get

[fair gull]

they are 250ohm iirc

[latent mural]

my dac/amp is driver hell

[plush summit]

http://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-40/ @latent mural

[latent mural]

ik

[plush summit]

this is what im going off of

[latent mural]

@plush summit like he says, everything on that list is a viable pick

[plush summit]

but...the mice that i like have low review ratings

[latent mural]

everything on that list is good

[plush summit]

the steal series mice arebad

[latent mural]

without quality etc

the rival 600 is on place 7

and the 310 on 9

everything else is either eol or too heavy/ has a bad shape

the dm1 fps uses a steel series sensei shape btw

if you can get one it is likely a very good deal

[plush summit]

i like the steelseries mice because of the larger buttons and the curves sides thatg look like its easier to pick up

th problem is that

i dont play moba, fps,rts games

[latent mural]

wtf do you play then?

farming sim?

[plush summit]

roge like

[latent mural]

do you use a mouse for them?

[plush summit]

yes

[latent mural]

then it likely is similar to fps in the requirements

[plush summit]

freelancer, everspace,starconflict (similar to war thunder)

the only "fps" i play is minecraft with a bow XD

bt most roge like require a shit tone of keys

[latent mural]

the rival 310 isn't bad

[plush summit]

but the reviews are

[latent mural]

wtf

for what

[fair gull]

apparently the op amps in my mb can drive up to 600ohm according to spec sheet

[plush summit]

wooting is helping cut down on hte keys needed thanks to dks

[fair gull]

guess i dont need an amp

[latent mural]

wtf is your mobo

[plush summit]

^

[fair gull]

spec sheet for most recent supremefx chips claims 25-600ohm

like the last 3 years of their supremefx chips

/ codecs

[latent mural]

ok?

then my should do that too

my msi z170a g45 did 250

[fair gull]

currently on an z390-f

[latent mural]

I hate asus for their damn bloatware though

you install the mobo

start into windows

[fair gull]

it tries to install the armoury shit

[latent mural]

and instantly the asus "q-installer" opens up

[fair gull]

like get of my dick asus

[latent mural]

and wants to give you all their crap

[fair gull]

no armoury is just optional software

[latent mural]

including kaspersky and chrome

[fair gull]

not required for any driver adjustments

[latent mural]

ik

but still

crosshair VII btw

[fair gull]

same i have an asus rn

[latent mural]

oh and daemon tools

your board is like 10 years old then

[fair gull]

anyway ya the supremefx thing is supposed to be able to drive em

[plush summit]

So I guess that's my real problem

All the mice are made for games that I don't play

Easier said than done

I'm going to say no

[latent mural]

currently looking into wmos

[plush summit]

What are those

[fair gull]

guess ill get dt770pro and some studio mic

altho idk which one

[latent mural]

wtf happened with this one

8 years

was only 2 years off

@fair gull have a modmic 4, could be better

well, it doesn't have all this asus bloatware

got it for the solid vrms though, so I could upgrade to anyhting with the socket

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/l🙀A😼0😺v4.png

still using realtek audio chips

[latent mural]

it's not windows

it only opened once though

so I just ignore it now

[fair gull]

@latent mural modmic isnt a studio mic tho is it

[latent mural]

and it "politely asked"

I want to game though

@fair gull true

[fair gull]

u can game with lutris

more and more games work each day

[latent mural]

yea

[fair gull]

na it worked fine when i tried

[latent mural]

and then warframe get's an update and doesn't work again

or I wanna play forza

[fair gull]

[latent mural]

[fair gull]

u obv go to special request

dingus

[latent mural]

but not for the p1?

[fair gull]

thats low tier

m8

[latent mural]

and I am not insured well enough for the f1

[fair gull]

psure the p1 doesnt have twin turbo v8

[latent mural]

it does though

3.8 L twin-turbocharged M838TQ V8

[fair gull]

wwot

[latent mural]

it is hybrid too

[fair gull]

never knew

[latent mural]

so even more power

the p1 is one beast of a car

the f1 is better imo

[fair gull]

anyway u can rent an f1

u can rent anything if u pay enough

[latent mural]

and it's reportedly nicer to drive

well, I could save a couple milion to get one myself

[fair gull]

gl

[latent mural]

[fair gull]

still need a good studio mic if imma replace my astro

[latent mural]

btw, you got any new old stock microsoft mice from the early 2000s flying around?

[fair gull]

u know forza isnt a shooter

[latent mural]

wha

have I been playing the game wrong ?

[fair gull]

so why were u surprised that we were talking bout cars after forza

thats like being surprised people talk bout guns after talking bout arma3

well u see in germany we can go as fast as we like

on the autobahn

plus hes the crazy one trying to buy an f1

and not rent it

[latent mural]

renting it isn't easy

[fair gull]

koenigsegg are cheap af

[latent mural]

[fair gull]

just get one at a thrift store

[wheat plume]

xd

[latent mural]

koenigsegg is somewhat "cheap" since they bring out a new good one every now and then

every mclaren stands in the shadow of the f1 though

it's germany, remember

missing my blast doors at the windows

this the good shit

it's VERY normal here

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/8r🍜🐙ME🍜l.png

[fair gull]

@proud nacelle thats plastique

[fair gull]

[latent mural]

cause they just work

[latent mural]

ik

model m has weird keyfeel imo

[fair gull]

na the buckling springs are so good

[latent mural]

since it's tactile bump reduces force

and there are microsoft shit mice, but also VERY good ones

[fair gull]

tbh i still try to get my employer to get me a surface pro

[wheat plume]

Just Eat is GREATTTTT at suggesting restaurants to me /s

[latent mural]

now everything dfelivers with lieferando etc

[fair gull]

my city is the third largest in germany

at least by area

not by population

[latent mural]

lol

[fair gull]

we have more cattle than humans

[latent mural]

in area my previous one was bigger

because 13 towns were part of it

[fair gull]

we have 26

totalling 630km²

[latent mural]

wtf

[wheat plume]

ooo

[latent mural]

we "only" had 106,67 km2

with under 20k inhabitants

[fair gull]

22k humans here

oh and we have a barn were they burned jews right before the war ended

[latent mural]

I now have ~52k in 75km²

lol

[fair gull]

isnt it beautiful

[latent mural]

we had a mine where they built all the v2s liek 10km away from my old home

nah

or how about this one

neighboring town is the birthplace of the "father" of the dutch

so we they had a lot of dutch tourists

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/🙇😻ft😹P8o.png

our 3 churches line up perfectly

or well one is converted to city hall now

middle one

but still

and home to one of the few triangle city squares

[latent mural]

well

haiger is old af

it's pre 800

people didn't know what shapes were at the time

and the city center was rebuilt several times

[fair gull]

1186 here but also first ever certified place to brew beer

and oldest brewery

[latent mural]

current city is the oldest one in germany I think

[fair gull]

trier?

[latent mural]

wetzlar

[fair gull]

trier was german once tho

technically the oldest german city

[latent mural]

yeaa

depends

treier was an official city earlier

at something like 2000 v chr

the area here was inhabited for like 3000 years prior though

[fair gull]

dont lie

humans only existed for 2019 years

[latent mural]

true

but that only accounts to america

[fair gull]

LOL

[latent mural]

we are europeans, not humans

[fair gull]

love how americans dont have castles

and are super hyped to see them

[latent mural]

they have fake ones

[fair gull]

and im like "k what now"

i mean real castles

[latent mural]

ik

[fair gull]

germany is great

[latent mural]

neighbouring town had a fake one as well

old one was taken apart under napoleon I think

[fair gull]

cant even afford a real one

pfff

[latent mural]

and it was rebuilt by the dutch in the 1800s

[fair gull]

then its not fake tho

just restored

[latent mural]

nah

they made a whole new design

[fair gull]

oh

fake

[latent mural]

vor wilhelm von oranien

since "his" castle was broken down

and the dutch couldn't bear that the father of their country didn't have his castle anymore

so they built a tower in his honour

[fair gull]

so that shit stain allowed them to smoke pot all day

[latent mural]

lol

[fair gull]

well imma go listen to avacon soon

they wanna bring gbit internet to my new hometown

[latent mural]

had 400 before

from unitymedia

was expensive though

[fair gull]

i could get 500 for the same but only get 200 here

30€ for a year and then 50€

cause not 27

[latent mural]

btw, are there any other games besides persona 5 i should get a ps4 for?

[fair gull]

uh

nier automata

[latent mural]

and can I not use the shit ds4 controller

[fair gull]

if u dont have it on pc

[latent mural]

there is a pc version though

[wheat plume]

Nier is great <3

I must play it

[fair gull]

ya if u dont have pc get the console one

[latent mural]

i'd rather get that on pc

[fair gull]

no difference anyway

cause its ported

[ashen spindle]

bloodborne

[wheat plume]

But I don't have console because you need to fuck with mods to play it on pc

[fair gull]

ya bloodborne and kh3

[latent mural]

since my giant hands are shit for the ds4

[wheat plume]

My friend has it
You need like five mods to get it to run at full resolution and fps on PC

[fair gull]

no just 1

but ok

[wheat plume]

He needs three ...

Wtf

Ok then

[latent mural]

I don't have any problem with modding though

[fair gull]

you just get FAR special k

[latent mural]

I use ultrawide

[fair gull]

done

[ashen spindle]

erm idk what issues you have with the game, I had no issues playing it without any mods

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

[fair gull]

u can play without but no actual 1080p and no good AA

FAR fixes a few things

[wheat plume]

Yeh...

[latent mural]

does it run in 21:9?

[fair gull]

with FAR yes

[latent mural]

japanese games don't like that usually

[fair gull]

natively i think no

[latent mural]

and the renderer shits themselves when asked to

[ashen spindle]

dont remember if I did play it in 21:9 or not honestly lol

[fair gull]

it doesnt have 21:9 res for selection

like literally

[latent mural]

they usually don't have

[fair gull]

like i said install FAR and your good

they even do weird 1:1 res

and shit like that

[latent mural]

best is SE with "dual 4:3 aspect ratio"

[fair gull]

LOL

[latent mural]

which is untrue

[fair gull]

nvm me

cant math

8:3

or 24:9 if we multiply

[latent mural]

yee

21:9 is acutally 21,3:9 too

[wheat plume]

O?

[fair gull]

isnt it actually like 64:27 or some shit

[wheat plume]

Some games that don't have 2560*1080 as a resolution isualoy tend to work anyway

At least in the game

[latent mural]

yea

[wheat plume]

Not in the UI

[latent mural]

yup

or morrowind

which does work

[wheat plume]

Except rocket league
That game is flawless on 21:9

[latent mural]

but then there are buttons offscreen

[wheat plume]

Wow

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/😼CV️5r5U.png

lol

thats some new ratio name ive never seen

[latent mural]

to it's credit, there wasn't any 21:9 content when it released

[fair gull]

just followed the scheme of 16:9 being 4:3 squared

as in 4 squared and 3 squared

64:27 is 4³:3³

[latent mural]

16:9 actually followed the fibonnaci rectangle

[fair gull]

wot

a dude just cut out sqaures and arranged them

Dr. Kerns H. Powers, a member of the SMPTE Working Group on High-Definition Electronic Production, first proposed the 16:9 (1.77:1) aspect ratio in 1984 [1] when nobody was creating 16:9 videos. The popular choices in 1980 were: 1.33:1 (based on television standard's ratio at the time), 1.66:1 (the European "flat" ratio), 1.85:1 (the American "flat" ratio), 2.20:1 (the ratio of 70 mm films and Panavision) and 2.35:1 (the CinemaScope ratio for anamorphic widescreen films).

Powers cut out rectangles with equal areas, shaped to match each of the popular aspect ratios. When overlapped with their center points aligned, he found that all of those aspect ratio rectangles fit within an outer rectangle with an aspect ratio of 1.77:1 and all of them also covered a smaller common inner rectangle with the same aspect ratio 1.77:1.[2] The value found by Powers is exactly the geometric mean of the extreme aspect ratios, 4:3 (1.33:1) and 2.35:1 (or 64:27, see also 21:9 aspect ratio for more information), √47/15 ≈ 1.770 which is coincidentally close to 16:9 (1.77:1). Applying the same geometric mean technique to 16:9 and 4:3 yields the 14:9 aspect ratio, which is likewise used as a compromise between these ratios.[3] 

[latent mural]

wtf

was he autistic

[fair gull]

na he prob just searched for smth that fits em all

16:9 does as you can see

it fits in all some way or another

and its right smack middle of 4:3 and 64:27

this is how most shit is found

random dudes doing random things

or maybe that guy was you timetravelling back

and assuming the identy of someone working for SMPTE WG

and then trying to look autistic

we never know

dw sometimes i amaze myself with the shit i come up with

[wheat plume]

Does stock Android have this level of customisation for each app notifications?

[fallow bison]

Most, yes

On oxygenOS that is, which is nearpy stock

[ashen spindle]

checked my fail2ban list, confused because its empty

turns out I forgot to start it after installing it

[plush summit]

XD

[plush summit]

guess its time for me to try wireless

i wish there was a wired version of the g pro

but the 2 extra buttons look like a great adition

[toxic jolt]

No

I literally can't just get android to give me a notification without sound

It's all stupid in app stuff

[latent mural]

@fair gull my uni gave out new passord requirements after the "hacking" incident

I think they save my data in clear text

[fair gull]

why

cause of the last one?

[latent mural]

3rd last one

[fair gull]

oh shit u right

that one aswell

[latent mural]

and that I can't use "\","<" and ">"

[fair gull]

no u cant use ' \ " > <

which looks more like preventing injections

than anything

but ure right 3rd last one and last one look like they store it clear text

cause

a hash is always ascii

[latent mural]

if they'd handle their data correctly it wouldn't matter

[fair gull]

if theyd just hash it it wouldnt matter

[latent mural]

^

[fair gull]

also a nice one "not longer than 20chars"

[latent mural]

can I force them to show me my "hashed" password thanks to the dsgvo?

[fair gull]

yes

[latent mural]

yea, 10-20 characters i a really weird requirement

[fair gull]

but yes u can technically force them to show all the data they store about you and a password is also personal data

[latent mural]

k, wasn't sure about passwords

[fair gull]

i mean

they can potentially contain personal info of you so yes you can request it to see if they hash it or not

[latent mural]

it makes sense that everybody has to change their password after a phishing incident then

[fair gull]

the first question would be did they inform you that they store clear text passwords

[latent mural]

of course not

do they have to?

[fair gull]

thanks to dsgvo technically yes cause as mentioned before clear text passwords can contain personal info which can leak to third parties

as it did now

[latent mural]

they should be happy that they didn't get something really bad

they don't seem do be competent in any way

[fair gull]

id request the data they store about you including the password

[latent mural]

currently our calendar lists all lectures twice and an hour early

[fair gull]

and if its clear text you might want to make suggestions

[latent mural]

been like that for almost a week

[fair gull]

what kinda uni are you at

jesus

[latent mural]

thm

they have a lot of industry contacts, don't know how they managed to have such lax security

[fair gull]

wonder if i can apply for IT

[latent mural]

their it staff likely doesn't wnat any competent people

since they'd all loose their jobs

I could likely get my boss to have them take a pentest out of security reasons

and then you could likely get a job here

[ashen spindle]

1000 bucks for the valve index with knuckle controller and 2 stations

[crimson wigeon]

Or 1079 € 👌

[ashen spindle]

ye I was generous with my rounding

[crimson wigeon]

Still cheaper than the Vive Pro tho so that's something!

[ashen spindle]

oh wow thats right, that's amazing how overpriced that shit was

at least the marketing for the pro is mostly at enterprise etc. so that's not as bad

still, now it's 1k for index or the cheaper rift2 which is a downgrade from rift1 lmao

[crimson wigeon]

If only Steam still took Bitcoin then I would totally waste my stash on it haha ecksdee

[pale sigil]

fucking hell

https://uploadvr.com/valve-index-price-specs/

[chrome estuary]

oh my fuck

a grand?

yeah well time to wait for uh... forever

[ashen spindle]

at least not more than the vive pro

[chrome estuary]

yeah i know but that still hurts the snow

[ashen spindle]

ye

[fair gull]

at least good controllers

[pale sigil]

tis a lot of money

[chrome estuary]

i really want it

but the snow doesn't have the money.

[pale sigil]

literally hundreds cheaper in the US

[ashen spindle]

almost 200 cheaper even

no, it should be less for us in that case

999usd is like 890 euro but it costs 1070 euro

o ye idk if that is the price with taxes for us pricing

guess well see that tomorrow

but I think it is with taxes included already

[pale sigil]

with the vouchers i have it would cost me 569 still

thats insane

like fuck valve

[ashen spindle]

wait

what voucher do you have for it to be that much cheaper

[pale sigil]

return for my oculus

[ashen spindle]

ohh so basically just money kk

[fair gull]

i want the steam knuckles so much

[ashen spindle]

it's easy if you have gforce experience

uh idk, think so

well I used it to redeem my copy of DEstiny 2

so I had one anyway

and recording stuff with shadowplay is often easier than using obs or so

ye but im not a youtuber or so, so I barely record stuff and dont need a lot of settings

looks like even the index doesnt have the usb c port for GPU, wonder what the point of it was if neither valve nor the rift have a connection for it

[fallow bison]

Lmao

[plush summit]

oh look

its redtupe

[sick creek]

Lmao you guys saying fuck valve cause you cant afford a premium vr

I’m literally waiting to enter my cc info

Buy an oculus quest or something

What i want to know is what about it is not worth the $999

Compared to older tech

[zenith mirage]

Still an expensive gimmick tho

[fair gull]

"expensive gimmick"

literally the controllers make it worth

[latent mural]

The controllers are THE best

The hmd has to really deliver if it wants to trump what kind of an upgrade the controllers are

[pale sigil]

Anyone know how to stop windows opening all stuff appended when shut down after logging in? I frog

If I leave browsers open and programs when shutting down they all open up again upon boot I hate it

I forgot how to disable

[plush summit]

Bought a sesgate ironwolf 2tb hdd

Anyone have any issues with these?

@reef patrol if that's what the new windows is, fuck that

[fair gull]

ironwolfs are good drives

[reef patrol]

That's a feature of Windows 10... and Linux...and MacOS, Rood 😄

[plush summit]

Now my second drive doesnt show up

My main hdd

[warped dove]

You know what grinds my gears?

[fair gull]

shitty greace?

[warped dove]

Yeah, Fuck the Greak.

[fair gull]

no thats greece

[warped dove]

It's not grease either

[fair gull]

idfc im german im allowed to not type correct english

[warped dove]

I dunno about that, sonny

But you're alright; I'll cut you a break

So on backlit keyboards the standard key is in the top left and the shift key is on the top right. (Yes I know that this is because of the LED and stem positioning)

[fair gull]

wha

[warped dove]

But 0 CM away from my Wooting 2 I have a microsoft surface with (non mechanical) backlit keys where the standard key is in the bottom left and shift is in the top left of the keycaps

I am a touch typer, have been since I was like 6. But I still glance at my keyboards often, especially because they're all different shapes (laptop vs fullsize etc.)

[fair gull]

u see with membrane boards they can do backlight under the entire key

not just a single diode

like mechanical keyboards

[warped dove]

Yes i said that I know

So pretty often I look down at my Wooting when I wanna hit a special character key on the right side and my brain immediately recourses me

I'm a programmer so I actually use these special characters fairly often, often enough for it to be relevant but I'm not amazingly reliable enough to never be unsure whether I should actually be hitting shift at the time when I want a ~ or a #

[plush summit]

My seccond drive cant be seen

Ive disconnected the new drive but still nothing

[warped dove]

Operating System?

[plush summit]

Win 10

But its not even seen in the bios

[reef patrol]

Then there's a problem with it.

[warped dove]

When I used to dual boot win 8.1 and win 10 : win10 locked access to my older drive

[plush summit]

@reef patrol it doesnt see the new drive either

[warped dove]

The drive was fine, still is. I eventually recovered it after a few win10 patches. I don't exactly remember how

[plush summit]

Just the windows drive

[reef patrol]

If a drive doesn't appear at all in BIOS, there's a hardware issue somewhere.

[warped dove]

Take it out, wire it up, put your ear against it

Unless it's an SSD then you'd just look silly

[plush summit]

If it was broken id hear a clicking sound

[fair gull]

not necessarily

thats just one mode of failure

if its not in the bios it can be a problem with the hdd or the sataport / cable

[plush summit]

It's running

[warped dove]

ok

[plush summit]

It appears to have found it again

[warped dove]

dirty connector

[plush summit]

It's still alive so that's good

What do I do now

I guess I put it back in the case

[fair gull]

check if they disk has any problems

[plush summit]

It's fine

It's smart levels are fine

with The working drive and I'm trying to get this Nas drive working

Is a 550 watt psu enough?

RX 580 6600 k

Good enough?

[warped dove]

There are online calculators to help you with those judgements

TDP is not a safe indicator sadly. My 6700 goes well over even when undervolted. However I guess that your PSU is enough

[reef patrol]

TDP is NOT a measurement of electricity.

[warped dove]

HWinfo64

[reef patrol]

It is one of HEAT

[warped dove]

Thermal, heh yeah

[plush summit]

It's here now

In the process of checking for the hard drive i I ended up holding the end of the cable

But not just any cable

The 6 pin connector that was supposed to be connected to the PSU to provide power to the sata drives

Yes

[warped dove]

Meh about the LED position on switches. I realise that this is the [edit: switch] manufacturers doing but: Popping a key off it's obvious that positioning the 3 coloured LEDs neatly up in the top left corner would not atall be design challenge. They're already slightly to the rightcenter top. Which is probably why the letters and numbers are not actually centrally aligned on Wooting keys - while on the M$ surface and most old keyboard designs they're top left. On macbook they're dead center.

Also I just used my keyboard without keycaps and felt 1337, like jacking into the matrix.

[plush summit]

@proud nacelle i think so

I have an issue though

Windows might assign D letter to ghe new hdd

If it does

Im Screwed

[warped dove]

Lol windows reassigns letters at will if one is obstructed but yeah use Disk Manager

[fair gull]

https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator

[plush summit]

I have moved everything including temporary files to the d drive

It's a d drive doesn't exist I don't know what Windows is going to do

And I'm worried about what Windows is going to do if no such file or directory exists

[warped dove]

Set letters and names than make sense to you. For me my downloads drive is fixed as D, my Central drive is C, My eXtremely fast M.2 is X, heh

[plush summit]

I noticed that when I couldn't open file Explorer

Because I move that to the d drive as well

Only frequently read from programs are on the C drive

[warped dove]

There is also a redirecting tool for such scenarios...

[plush summit]

I could do a symlink

Good call

[warped dove]

Look guys, any common problem that you can think of probably has been solved decently, somehow

[plush summit]

Why wouldn't I want to do a hard link

ok

gpt or mbr

(if not gpt, why?)

gpt it is

[crimson wigeon]

GPT is standard on all modern UEFI systems

MBR should only be used if you're using some legacy hardware/software that only supports that

[plush summit]

windows 7 used mbr

ntfs or exfat

ex fat has a larger file limit ...no?

[crimson wigeon]

Not really maybe

It's more designed for removable drives

[plush summit]

kk

also alocation unit size?

[crimson wigeon]

Accept the defaults

[plush summit]

should i turn file and folder compression on?

[crimson wigeon]

If you want

It can give you some extra free space at the cost of more CPU cycles used when reading and writing

[plush summit]

so no

ill choose which folders i want to have the compression attribute

what does recursive mean?

i dont understand the term

so inharited attributes

why is the term recursive used?

also nice pfp btw

😛

show those true colours

recursive functions, operations...and now storrage

my head is spinning as to the actual meaning of the word

oh

does someone have a fole coppy program that allows for the calculation and verification of files when coppied?

windows has a nasty bug where it will corrupt files if a group of larg files are coppied togeather

i have been using hashtab

but i would like a way for it to automaticaly verify the file after being coppied

whats the pro version offer?

[fair gull]

https://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29

this is my tool of choice for data recovery and copying files in a safe manner

light weight and just works

like idk i used teracopy for a few years at work

[plush summit]

got teracopy

looks good enough

[fair gull]

and then my employer was like "i always use the cat copier" and i was like "the fuck is a cat copier" he showed me the non stop copy and i just grew to like it cause as mentioned light weight and just works + well teracopy denied copying files from disks i tried to recover a few times

the pic is a cat

like the app icon

thats why he calls it cat copier
