as if the new ACs are good and anyone would care except the fanbois

pale sigil
#

amen

#

but just an example

fair gull
#

so if i show u a dumpster burning down 20 seconds quicker than another dumpster

#

ud take the fast burning one

#

cause ure comparing trash to other trash just on different drives

pale sigil
#

Imagine seeing this in your game

timid chasm
#

that's with the dx12 shaders though. Shit is super fast in dx11

fair gull
#

ya

pale sigil
#

i dont have issues with both on ssd

fair gull
#

so ur point is?

pale sigil
#

he rarely shows for ssds

fair gull
#

so?

timid chasm
#

Is it still a thing though? Last I played I don't remember seeing him

fair gull
#

i mean easy test let me fire up bl3

#

unless it got like 2PB of updates

#

wait actually

#

cant

#

didnt reinstall EGS

#

cause i couldnt be arsed

pale sigil
#

Destiny 2 is so bad on HDD tho

#

xD

timid chasm
#

Destiny 2 is so bad tho
@pale sigil

#

FTFY

pale sigil
#

its true

#

atm its bad

timid chasm
#

I won't lie I do hate that it takes games so long for transmog features

pale sigil
#

i feel bad for console players

#

on D2

#

2 min just to login

#

Im gussing you read the twab?

timid chasm
#

not I

#

just saw a headline

pale sigil
#

it had a transmog like feature before

#

however it was shit and just cash market items

#

Even the new system is prob going to be shit

#

The bright dust eco is terrible atm and will get worse

#

and if they only allow use of transmog via silver or bright dust its going to be awful

timid chasm
#

45s for me on BL3 from click to main screen with intros since I never disabled them

#

so apparently they did improve the shader thing because that shit used to take forever

fair gull
#

40s from hitting play in steam to staying on a planet in d2

pale sigil
#

LIEES

fair gull
#

i literally just tested it

pale sigil
#

nah im kidding.

fair gull
#

like the longest thing that happened was some cutscenes i havent watched

pale sigil
#

40s is quite fast

#

ish

#

loading into a plant usually takes around 2s for me

#

the main issue is dungeons

#

raids

#

strikes, crucible etc

#

activities

fair gull
#

thats enough d2 for the next year

pale sigil
#

i think ill play a little next season and probably just stop again till next expansion

#

even then i doubt ill play much more

#

D2 is a shitshow rn

wheat plume
wheat plume
#

idk what other information I would need to do to count as a "member type analysis" ;-;

timid chasm
#

I can tell you for certain I don't know what that means

wheat plume
#

I must do an analysis on the member types
there are 4 types of membership you can sign up as

#

and idk wtf to do for this

timid chasm
#

Those prices seem unfair to me

#

I guess it depends on the currency though so nevermind

wheat plume
#

prices dont matter its just placeholder info

#

my members are anime characters sooo yeh xd

#

but seriously, what else can I put into this analysis?

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

genius .....

#

I made this harder for myself before realising its just needing to fill a datagrid -.- I had a a method to read a data reader and return each value

#

AGHHH

fair gull
#

at least ure in a reasonably high level language

wheat plume
#

I need to find a way to get the total money earned by each member type
rn , the value it shows is just the cost of the memebership type times the number of members in that type

which is fine unless the member has renewed their membership and paid again

#

so I need to find a way to get the total sum of all rewals from all members of the specified type using the members and renewals tables

#

all I have is the member's typeID not their memberID that is used in the renewals table

fair gull
#

calls for tables that are setup right

#

and sql

ashen spindle
#

and math

fair gull
#

meth

wheat plume
#

want my tables and see if you can help me?

fair gull
#

sadly already have tons to do

wheat plume
#

UwU

#

idk what that code means but good luck

fair gull
#

just draws a single pixel in a bitmap

#

currently only implementing some alpha blend modes

wheat plume
#

wow

ashen spindle
#

c# not doing it anymore for your bitmaps? :p

fair gull
#

na this is just a small exercise to get to know c better

#

and then move to develop xqemu

ashen spindle
#

c and not even cpp? eww

fair gull
#

lol cpp is worse than c with many things

#

only one of which is how cpp implements classes

#

i mean it works nicely

#

looks almost like abstract art ngl

wheat plume
#

looks like the Piet coding language

fair gull
#

i mean i got pretty far

#

need to move saving to a custom function

#

and maybe the entire memory freeing aswell

reef patrol
#

Mhmm.

fair gull
#

theres smth like that

#

its called dos

#

no extra boot shit

wheat plume
#

Is there a way to check if a DataSet is empty without putting the table name into it

fair gull
#

use the android text editor

#

@wheat plume <DataSet>.Tables.Count

#

never need more than normal android text editor so /shrug

fair gull
#

i mean id personally use retroarch and a pi

#

cause way better support

#

ah yes so rather get some third world level support project

#

that will prob suck ass even more

#

id actually invest more into looking for a tegra based 1board computer

#

that fucker wouldnt draw more than the pi and shoot any of these small things out of the water

#

bruh the switch is tegra based

#

its prob the best retro gaming console for on the go and at home

#

retro arch runs beautifully

#

altho the tx1 jetson dev boards will cost more

#

iirc they are like 350 or so

#

im done with 1board pcs personally

#

id rather get a super small pc

#

that runs linux or smth

#

@reef patrol help

reef patrol
fair gull
#

please stop his madness of sff being dead

ashen spindle
#

sff is dead and mansen will be next rooH

fair gull
#

i want a chihiro board

reef patrol
#

I want a high powered SBC 😄

fair gull
#

tegra boards are the best rn

#

purely cause they have 8 cores and nvidia gpus build in

fair gull
#

and only suck 15watts

reef patrol
#

Meep Meep!

#

Ryzen based.

fair gull
#

and 100watt +

reef patrol
#

sLurp juice

fair gull
#

id still go for tegra boards mainly for actual cuda cores

reef patrol
#

Honestly just joking. I have all the PCs I need right now.

#

Got a Pi3b in a Snes case for old emu.
Got a Switch for handheld emu and such.
Got an Xbox OG for ... well Xbox OG games.
And I've got three PCs for gaming and NAS needs.

I am entitled af.

fair gull
#

i want to get a small machine that can do retro besides my switch

reef patrol
#

Also I sold my SFF LAN PC to pay for other stuff.

fair gull
#

fuck fpgas

halcyon moss
#

you can get complete intel nucs for that price O_o

fair gull
#

let him have his special thing thats not as good as other things for the price

old marlin
#

I can get 800gb SAS drives for 4 euros a piece KEKW

fair gull
#

bruh where

old marlin
#

wait

#

nvm

#

600gb drives

wheat plume
#

guys
how TF does a regular expression work? I just found one to validate email addresses and it works but i want to know how

#
 @"^(?("")("".+?(?<!\\)""@)|(([0-9a-z]((\.(?!\.))|[-
!#\$%&'\*\+/=\?\^`\{\}\|~\w])*)(?<=[0-9a-z])@))" +
@"(?(\[)(\[(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\])|(([0-9a-z][-\w]*[0-9a-z]*\.)+[a-z0-9][\-a-z0-
9]{0,22}[a-z0-9]))$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250))```
ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

wat

crimson wigeon
#

regexps are dark sorcery

ashen spindle
#

click the link if you want to know how it works

wheat plume
#

I did

ashen spindle
#

you use what the examples show in the bottom to combine what you want to match, and can try it on the site too to figure it out

wheat plume
#

it just says / must be escaped

#

@"^(?("")("".+?(?<!\\)""@)|(([0-9a-z]((\.(?!\.))|[-!#\$%&'\*\+/=\?\^`\{\}\|~\w])*)(?<=[0-9a-z])@))" + @"(?(\[)(\[(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\])|(([0-9a-z][-\w]*[0-9a-z]*\.)+[a-z0-9][\-a-z0-9]{0,22}[a-z0-9]))$"

#

I pasted this regex im using into it

ashen spindle
#

yes it's not c#

#

so you need to escape stuff on the website, you use a verbatim string in your code so you dont need it tehre

wheat plume
#

wait......regex are language dependant??

ashen spindle
#

no.... strings are

wheat plume
#

its fine

#

imma just accept it works and not ever understand it

ashen spindle
#

in short, you put the @ infront of the string in c#, the site cant do that

wheat plume
#

o

#

regexps are dark sorcery
@crimson wigeon yup....

crimson wigeon
#

AI is all the rage nowadays, someone should make a thing that takes regular human text and turns it into a regexp

wheat plume
#

but im not using it as a method, I probably should so that the if statement isnt so damn long

crimson wigeon
#

Be cool and oneline it public bool validEmail(string inStr) => Regex.is.... something like that

ashen spindle
#

or just dont pay attention to length of if statements if you are new to a language...

fair gull
#

it literally explains the expression

ashen spindle
#

only ever used rubular so idk what other options are out there

wheat plume
fair gull
#

thats how you should code

#

move smth like that always to a seperate func

wheat plume
#

its complaining not all code paths return a value ;-;

fair gull
#

and name it clearly

wheat plume
ashen spindle
#

...

crimson wigeon
#

Return should be return

fair gull
#

lOl

wheat plume
#

her notes suck....

timid chasm
#

KEYWORDS LANA

wheat plume
#

SHHH XD

#

in C# a lot of keywords have a capital letter

ashen spindle
#

it's literally marked red...

timid chasm
#

based on what you say alot of things about her sucks

wheat plume
#

now I need to test it

fair gull
#

idk what "a lot of keywords" you mean

#

but i only know lowercase ones tbh

wheat plume
#

btw......she has it correct in her other method xd

ashen spindle
#

yeah I'm not sure which ones are uppercase

fair gull
#

they are lowercasr

#

dark blue is keywords

#

light blue is classes

wheat plume
#

all the function names are uppercase
like MessageBox.Show();
or Hide();

ashen spindle
#

...

fair gull
#

thats just microsoft naming

ashen spindle
#

thats not a c# keyword those are just function names yeah

wheat plume
#

oh

fair gull
#

keywords are all dark blue

#

classes are light blue/turqois

wheat plume
#

it crashed at runtime

timid chasm
#

Lana I think you'd enjoy segfaults

wheat plume
#

wat those?

timid chasm
#

really fun debugging exercises /s

wheat plume
#

🤔

crimson wigeon
#

bane of my existence

#

always happening when I don't have coredumps enabled

wheat plume
#

this code worked when I didnt have in a method

#

so why it not work now?

ashen spindle
#

is email a valid input?

timid chasm
#

They're good gdb practice though

#

at least sometimes

wheat plume
#

no, its invalid, thats why I have this method

#

so it tells you its invalid and to try again

ashen spindle
#

... no not a valid email, a valid string

wheat plume
#

I typed in abc

#

as the email address

ashen spindle
#

well the regex should be fine

wheat plume
#

the regex is fine

#

but not the method for it

crimson wigeon
#

Clearly it isn't because that error means it's bad

ashen spindle
#

no I just tried it that strings works just fine

wheat plume
#

it works fine when I put it directly into my if statement

#

but I dont like this cause its too long of a line

ashen spindle
#

.....

#

yes that is the issue

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah it's a @ string and you're adding extra newlines to it

wheat plume
#

but it works fine like this

#

until I use the method

ashen spindle
#

it has nothing to do with the method

fair gull
#

no it works fine cause its 1line

ashen spindle
#

but with you breaking it up

wheat plume
#

o

fair gull
#

no split in the regex string

wheat plume
#

so in the method I need to keep it as one blig ass line too?

timid chasm
#

NO NEWLINES LANA

wheat plume
#

OOKK!!

#

one sec

timid chasm
#

NO CARRIAGE RETURNS LANA

wheat plume
#

XDD

timid chasm
#

NO SLASH R OR SLASH N LANA

fair gull
#

NO LINEFEED LANA

timid chasm
#

is it R that windows does on new line? /r/n

fair gull
#

backslashes but yes

wheat plume
#

so I will have a long ass line of code here instead of my if statement

#

ok then

timid chasm
#

That was super annoying early on in programming. Wondering why the file worked linux to windows but not vice versa

#

yay dos2linux

#

unix w/e

fair gull
#

i mean idk why that regex is so complicated to being with

#

@timid chasm windows can display just the linefeed without carriage return

wheat plume
fair gull
#

it just defaults to also saving a CR

timid chasm
#

Well I didn't appreciate it my freshman year

crimson wigeon
#

Well yeah most software handle just a LF fine, but for the longest time things like notepad didn't

fair gull
#

still dont appreciate it

#

first thing in git is always force convert to LF only

ashen spindle
#

yes that + has to be there

fair gull
#

well visual studio is prob complaining cause theres a plus and no line break

ashen spindle
#

mine is not complaining ¯_(ツ)_/¯

wheat plume
#

removed the space and it works

#

but still underlined for some reason

fair gull
#

ignore it prob just a style warning

ashen spindle
#

yeah the space is outside the string, that doesnt matter

#

and its not underlined for "some reason", it tells you what the reason is

wheat plume
#

but its working...

#

wtf

fair gull
#

underlined doesnt mean broken

ashen spindle
#

ye

fair gull
#

red underline means broken

#

green/blue means could use better syntax

#

or well whatever microsoft claims is better

ashen spindle
#

use the mouse to hover over it and it tells you what it is..

wheat plume
#

oh...I forget the project is still running even if it crashes

#

I was editing the code while it was running still

fair gull
#

it didnt crash yet

wheat plume
#

it did, I showed you that error

fair gull
#

microsoft auto broke the debugger to show u the error with the current variables etc

ashen spindle
#

an actual crash would mean the program stopped

wheat plume
#

then what kind of crash was this?

#

it made the UI dissapear and errors pop up

fair gull
#

not a crash the debugger encountered smth that would have crashed the program

#

its a feature of VS

wheat plume
#

the error happened but its still running since I have this option to stop it

ashen spindle
#

yes

fair gull
#

yes cause the software is just halted not crashed

pale sigil
#

F

wheat plume
#

ahh

ashen spindle
#

thats what debug mode is for, so you dont have everything crashing down all the time with no info

pale sigil
#

Debug is a lifeboat

ashen spindle
#

a lifeboat with champagne and a 70inch oled tv

wheat plume
#

:')

timid chasm
#

I had a professor that was talking to us once about how we can compile and run a program in no time, get the error, and then try again if we need to. Whereas when he started you had to compile the code before you went to lunch and hope it had finished by the time you were back, lol

#

fuck those days.

wheat plume
#

wow

wheat plume
#

this wont let me type in y or n even though those are meant to be the only valid characters in that textbox

ashen spindle
#

would those cases be catched by previous if blocks?

#

or, just set a breakpoint, and see what happens, what the value of the input is and what exactly goes on

wheat plume
#

no other else if checks this box

ashen spindle
#

you need to get used to using the debugger much much much much much much more

wheat plume
#

true ..

crimson wigeon
#

because you're ORing all those together, so if any of those statements are true then the whole thing is true

timid chasm
#

Or use the much superior "Made it this far 1" approach

#

😂

wheat plume
#

:')

#

but none of them should be true if the value in the box is y or n

crimson wigeon
#

Well if it's "y" then != "n" is true

ashen spindle
#

^

wheat plume
#

ooh...

#

right

#

yeah -.-

#

FML

#

do I make the others && except the checks for y or n?

ashen spindle
#

you have a rocket launcher to kill a single ant but instead try to hit it with a pebble from a mile away is what you are doing by not using the debugger

wheat plume
crimson wigeon
#

Pah who needs debuggers just blast printf's all over the code

ashen spindle
#

I count that as debugging :p

#

also that wont work

wheat plume
#

Pah who needs debuggers just blast printf's all over the code
@crimson wigeon thats what I do :') :'(

#

yeah...I realised it wont work

ashen spindle
#

the first checks are good you just need to change how it checks if its y or n

wheat plume
#

I could put that inside the else if maybe? make another check in therE?

ashen spindle
#

tip, round brackets also work in logic statements

#

or you can do it inside, same result

wheat plume
#

ooo wrap the last two checks in brackets?

#

like a math equation

timid chasm
#

I assume this is part of a loop

wheat plume
#

yeah , one long list of if and else if checking all the text boxes

#

11 in total

#

and the else condition runs the code to update the member

ashen spindle
#

.... so no not a loop

#

there is no such thing as an if-loop

wheat plume
#

not a loop indeed

timid chasm
#

I just see the checking for y and n when they're part of the if

wheat plume
#

wait...I dont need to check if there is more than one character cause I made the textbox not let you type any more than 1 character

#

Fuck it, im making this a combobox xd

#

probably should have done this since the start

old marlin
#

@fair gull KEKW

#

Got about twice that

wheat plume
#

I made it a combobox with only y and n as choices......why didnt I think of this shit earlier its so much easier to validate -.-

ashen spindle
#

wow, so apparently we have had a ReSharper license for a while now and due to home office I just didnt know it lmao

#

well time to get used to that now

wheat plume
#

ReSharper?

ashen spindle
#

plugin from jetbrains for c#

#

for better syntax, formatting, code refactoring etc.

wheat plume
#

oooohh

lapis silo
#

who csn build mech keyboards?

fair gull
#

pmuch anyone can

#

depends on what u really mean by "build"

pale sigil
#

i have but it didn't last long.

fair gull
#

as in design a complete custom pcb and stuff or just buy premade parts and solder together/assemble

lapis silo
#

litterally just put togethor

reef patrol
#

Been there done that a few times.

lapis silo
#

do you have any cheap ones you can sell to me lol?

reef patrol
#

Oh sweet summer child. DIY boards tend to be at least twice as expensive as your run of the mill gaming keyboard from Corsair or Razer 😄

#

My daily driver was around 270€

pale sigil
#

Depends.

#

60% kits tend to be quite cheap.

reef patrol
#

Some are, most aren't.

#

3D printed cases and other cheap options definitely help.

ashen spindle
#

still not the way if you want the cheap version

chrome estuary
#

yeah if you actually want a 60% kit and lose features for like 70 times the price

fair gull
#

@lapis silo cheap and mechanical keyboard kit dont go well together at all. always be prepared to spend like twice of what a razer/corsair/whatever gaming keyboard costs

#

ah shit mansen already replied

#

dammit

lapis silo
#

: (

#

cheapest one i saw was like 100 and it was a bit bad

wheat plume
#

My data validation is probably 70% ready

fair gull
#

cant get good and cheap with mechanical keyboards especially diy kits

#

why immediately get a high end soldering station

#

theres actually quite good ones for 40-50usd

wheat plume
#

wow, your sarcasm self contains itself

fair gull
#

not really

#

i guess u mean self closing html tags

#

those have a / at the end tho like <div />

wheat plume
#

yes

torpid monolith
#

Yes

#

Someone knows what Poe's law is!

timid chasm
#

It'd be quite amazing if nobody did

#

because then it wouldn't be a thing

hoary dock
#

can I do like Ethernet over coax?

#

like this

timid chasm
#

That seems unlikely to me

#

at least in that form. But you can do MoCA for internet over coax

hoary dock
#

MoCA like coffee?

timid chasm
#

no like multimedia over coaxial alliance or something

#

I dunno what it stands for anymore

#

But you buy 2 MOCA adapters and attach them to each end of the coax one feeds the signal into the coax and the other converts it back to ethernet

#

and it works amazingly.

timid chasm
#

yes you can use deca too

#

I think some Gateways can put out a signal over coax but I'm not 100% on that

timber oxide
#

yea some gateways can if i remember correctly

timid chasm
#

I use these

#

And I use that upstairs to expand the wifi, they're fair for the price

#

The motorola adapters however are awesome and get me basically full speeds on gigabit

#

Oof

#

thats rough

#

Powerline adapters are sooooo bad in comparison

#

But I won't deny they serve a purpose still..for some

hoary dock
#

can I do tv and interwebs over the same coax?

timid chasm
#

Sometimes, I think. One of the types fucks with the signal but I can't remember if it's satellite or regular cable tv or what causes it

hoary dock
#

ok. thanks!

timid chasm
#

I think satellite TV has similar signals which causes issues

#

I think that is what the DECA adapters are for. They were made to be used with DirecTV I think

#

but, again, not entirely sure

timber oxide
#

satellite fucks with the signal

timid chasm
#

If you're not sure of how your coax is run I'd recommend using a coax tester too so you can find out where everything leads. We have coax in 4 rooms so that made it a lot easier for me to do before hand rather than plugging adapters and waiting to see if they worked or not

timber oxide

Other topic, someone has a Brand recommendation for Cloth Mousepads?

timid chasm
#

Not I, sorry

hero-banner lmao

pale sigil

thats what you call banners in css/html

#

In web design, a hero image is a large web banner image, prominently placed on a web page, generally in the front and center. The hero image is often the first visual element a visitor encounters on the site; it presents an overview of the site's most important content. A her...

#

guys, i have an odd but specific request: does anyone know of any affordable, portable bluetooth buttons? i want to attach a button to my bluetooth headset so i can macro a PTT button to it

#

something like this but much, much cheaper: https://flic.io/

Smart Home Control - Lights, music, and appliances at the push of a button. Keep it simple for even the youngest family members to understand. Or go advanced with Flic’s endless configuration possibilities. Make it clear what each button does with icon stickers.

#

or is there a way to get say, a bluetooth selfie button to work?

#

say i got this thing for example, what are the chances of being able to connect it to my PC and how would i go about having my PC recognise the keypress / programming it?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Integral-Remote-Selfie-Disk-Bluetooth-Selfie-Button/182265374074?epid=1737667296&hash=item2a6fdce57a:g:tlYAAOSw8oFXyX8Q

#

that thing looks basically perfect, assuming i can hold the button down for PTT...

torpid monolith
#

I may be broke but I will drop 60 on a mouse pad so long as it cleans well and is smooth

#

If I feel even a tiny spec of dust then I get pretty annoyed

gritty junco
#

hard pads ain't for you then @torpid monolith

torpid monolith
#

Same with cloth

#

I've had a cloth pad and it's fine but I mess with it a lot

gritty junco
#

i know it's annoying feeling the odd bit of dirt under your hand on a cloth pad but the scratching sound that you just know is mangling your feet is agony every time...

I really should stop eating at my desk, it's always either salt or crumbs

Apple really still putting ddr3 ram in their 2020 MacBook "pro" laptops

Can't be very pro if it costs more than $1k and has 8gb ddr3 ram

sick creek
#

Are they? Didnt see any news on this

#

I dont think its possible given the type of cpus they are using

wheat plume
#

Yup ddr3
If you don't spec it out and upgrade the RAM

sick creek
#

What cpu

wheat plume
#

I think 8th gen i5 as base

Ah i see. LPDDR3

#

Lp being low power

#

For extra battery life

#

I dont see that as an issue tbh, unless you care more about benchmarks than getting work done

wheat plume
#

Yeah.... But that price... And the fact it's 2020

gritty junco
#

DDR3 in 2020? KEKW

wheat plume
#

Yeh...

#

On a very expensive laptop

old marlin
#

@gritty junco i think the cheapest you'll get is getting an amazon dash button

#

Those can be used for other stuff

sick creek
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

So i looked at the spec sheet for the cpu it would use

#

And they would only be able to use ddr4 2400 anyway (apple doesnt use OC memory or boost clocks on their laptops)

old marlin
#

Lol

sick creek
#

So LPDDR3 at 2133 and using less power for nearly the same performance is worth the better batt life

old marlin
#

2666 is the highest ddr4 jdec rating

#

Also ddr4 is still faster than ddr3 iirc

sick creek
#

It can be, but 2133 on both would be negligible difference. There are a lot of other factors. Given that the cpu supports either type of memory means to me that ddr4 would not perform that much better as it’s crippled

#

Unlikely there will ever be good benches tho, cause we’d have to have apple make the same laptop with ddr4 and we know they wont

#

But the 16” has 9th gen which, without looking it up, i think doesnt support LPDDR3

#

Tbh i think its a good trade off considering the size, weight, battery life, etc

#

Y’all aint buying macs anyway so who cares LOL

nice

wheat plume
#

for an OS called "Windows", it has really poor window management
you can hold down the windows key and drag anywhere on the window to move or resize it, there are no other effects to make moving it easier like sliding it off the edge of the screen to move the window to the other desktop or things like that

red oyster
#

You said that resizing like it's possible

#

and I was about to go "wait what!?" but it doesn't work

wheat plume
#

you cant**

#

my bad

red oyster
#

You have build up my hope and then crushed it mercilessly

wheat plume
#

XD

red oyster
#

also moving a window to another desktop is atually a shortcut?

wheat plume
#

Dear Windows 10
All I want to do is see battery perctentage on the
taskbar beside the battery icon
Lana

reef patrol
#

Windows (10) has TERRIBLE window management.

red oyster
#

windows + arrow keys

#

for left, right, maximize, make smaller and stuff

reef patrol
#

I keep having to drag windows around to make them fit

red oyster
#

Which is useful if the window is like out of bounds

old marlin
#

I mean

#

the one in 10 is the best that was built in windows so far

#

still not good

wheat plume
#

so many times ive had windows open with their titlebars UNDER THE TASKBAR

red oyster
#

There is this one addon thing from windows themselves

#

that gives you more options

wheat plume
#

and I cant do anything to move them beside maximise with shortcuts and then resize

red oyster
#

yeah Window+left Window+right window+down is useful for that

wheat plume
#

I just got powertoys

ashen spindle
#

well that sounds like an issue yuou only get with taskbar at the top :^)

wheat plume
#

idk how to make fancyzones work

red oyster
#

taskbar top masterrace

wheat plume
#

ofc I got the taskbar at the top

#

im not a pleb

red oyster
#

Taskbar at the botton on main screen taskbar on top 2nd screen masterrace

wheat plume
#

cries in single monitor

red oyster
#

I just cannot survive single monitor anymore

#

It's so annoying if I wanna like play games or smth

wheat plume
#

I do have 21:9 so that kind of makes up for it

#

but not really

red oyster
#

I mean my problem is fullscreen

wheat plume
#

yeah ...same here

#

and for web development too

#

Id like to have my code on one screen and my browser with the site on the other

old marlin
#

taskbar top and taskbar bottom makes no difference though

#

I'd do side but it sucks with multi monoitor

wheat plume
#

Taskbar on the left master race

#

I would do that but the cate/time doesnt shrink

#

so on the sides the taskbar is too wide

red oyster
#

Sad

#

Yea

wheat plume
#

but not on the sides -.-

#

isnt that layout called Master and Stack in tiling window managers?

red oyster
#

You know I sometimes Acutally have the problem where my monitors are too big

#

It only happens at work and maybe it's just cause me small or smth

#

but it can be quite annoying

#

Yeah those are pretty lame

#

That should just be default in windows as an option not like it's anything special

#

Why can't windows just work like screen in the terminal

#

I mean that'd still allow you to have 2 windows by eachother

wheat plume
#

I know so many people who dont know what taskbar is

red oyster
#

Like it just recognizes the border of a window that has snapped

#

as a new "border" you can split things vertically or horizontal on

wheat plume
#

or that the OS they are using is called Windows, they just said to me what is an OS?

red oyster
#

That'd be pretty nice already

#

Not like vertical splitting actually exists in the first plac though

hoary dock
#

@wheat plume which nvidia driver should I install with Manjaro?

wheat plume
#

@wheat plume which nvidia driver should I install with Manjaro?
@hoary dock it installs them for you

red oyster
#

sell your soul to the proprietary ones

#

I had an issue with that once

#

Where it kept breaking and my screen was really glitched

hoary dock
#

I am having micro-stutters

red oyster
#

The solution was deleting all my drivers

hoary dock
#

and that is annoying

wheat plume
#

ive never seen that issue

red oyster
wheat plume
#

I am having micro-stutters
@hoary dock you on 440?

hoary dock
#

me on video-linux

wheat plume
#

but why? it installs them for you automatically

hoary dock
#

I thought it did

wheat plume
#

im guessing you didnt change to non free drivers on that boot menu

hoary dock
#

I should change to 440 right?

red oyster
#

You can still change them

#

in manjaro settings

hoary dock
#

You can still change them
@red oyster that I know

wheat plume
#

440 is nice

red oyster
#

then try it

#

might as well

wheat plume
#

yeah...open the manjaro settings
you can install them there

red oyster
#

the worst that can happen is your entire system bricking itself

wheat plume
#

welp

red oyster
hoary dock
#

not that bad

#

i mean

#

i just installed it

red oyster
#

You can also just be unlucky like a friend I know

hoary dock
#

so there is not that much stuff on it

wheat plume
#

the only issues I ever had with nvidia drivers was when I tried to manually upgrade them

#

it didnt go well

red oyster
#

which always has really weird issues with every single operating system

#

Like they use windows, random page errors..

#

use manjaro, screen freezes constantly

wheat plume
#

🤔

red oyster
#

Now at mint which freezes whenever a certain app is opened

wheat plume
#

wtf

red oyster
#

It's magical

hoary dock
#

maybe some part of his pc is just bröken

red oyster
#

The fun part is that it's been happening on 3 devices by now

#

It's just magical

wheat plume
#

my friend is kind of like that
he dual boots windows + Linux and he has a lot of drives on his PC to store games and shit

and itll all work well for about a month then suddenly one or two of his drives just get totally wiped

red oyster
#

Yea

wheat plume
#

for no reason

red oyster
#

rip

wheat plume
#

even the OS is gone

hoary dock
#

my friend is kind of like that
he dual boots windows + Linux and he has a lot of drives on his PC to store games and shit

and itll all work well for about a month then suddenly one or two of his drives just get totally wiped
@wheat plume pls no happerino to me

red oyster
#

I had dual boot for quite a while without problem but it really seems useless

#

I feel like either just going linux or windows with vm is more reasonable

hoary dock
wheat plume
#

he is in the same situation as me
he cant fully switch to Linux because we need this software for one single project in college -.-

#

oh wow

hoary dock
#

he is in the same situation as me
he cant fully switch to Linux because we need this software for one single project in college -.-
@wheat plume for that I have this

#

Remmina to my WinServer

wheat plume
#

oooohhh

ashen spindle
#

solution: stick to windows

wheat plume
#

e

#

w

#

id rather die

#

I cant wait for the day I can nuke windows from this laptop

#

is poor gurl

#

no can do

#

ive got laptop and computer
and a single drive in each

#

so dual booting on a single drive is a no no for me

red oyster
#

Windows works fine

wheat plume
#

it works fine but its meh overall for me

hoary dock
wheat plume
#

300 is a lot of money

#

now that I have it installed I should uninstall the other one?
@hoary dock not sure
I can go see what it says on my computer if you want

#

i have 440 installed

#

^^

hoary dock
#

I am just going to reboot

wheat plume
#

my friend got a new laptop last year for 400
it came with 4GB ram, intel pentium gold and windows 10 S

#

-.-

red oyster
#

nice

wheat plume
#

so we didnt want to deal with 10 S

#

so we wiped it and "downloaded" a copy of windows 10

red oyster
#

Not sure why downloaded is in " but sure

#

You can download windows

wheat plume
#

yeah but it begs you to activate it and he doesnt have a license key

#

that shit still works?

#

wow

hoary dock
#

well

#

it only deleted my wallpapers

red oyster
#

Yeah they never did "fix" that

#

And I don't know why

how tf your wallpaper get deleted by installing a gpu driver??

hoary dock
#

idk

wheat plume
#

#

@wheat plume I'm pulling your leg with the engine comment, thanks for the advice.

red oyster
#

Wallpaper engine definitely works

#

You can even make your own stuff cause it like accepts html pages

wheat plume
#

I miss wallpaper engine ;-; they need to make a Linux version

red oyster
#

I remember making a fractal clock that took 50% of my cpu to render

wheat plume
#

OMFH

#

hmmm not worth it xd

red oyster
#

Maybe..

#

It did look awesome though

#

Sadly i lost the html

torpid monolith
#

Damns

wheat plume
#

my CPU spikes to 50% when I move a window around on Linux

red oyster
#

Download more ram

#

Download more CPU Speed

#

Then my fractal clock is no problem

#

I mean I made that html page myself so it was downloaded

wheat plume
#

spikes to 20% when its just the cursor I move

red oyster
#

That seems not normal

wheat plume
#

it does

#

this is windows 10

red oyster
#

"on Linux"
"this is windows 10"

wheat plume
#

on my laptop rn

#

laptop haz win10

#

computer haz Linux

#

nah
I want only Linux

red oyster
#

if only linux was nice for gaming

#

some freebsd

wheat plume
#

honestly, it macbook laptops didnt throttle when you try to get work done...id be interested in buying one cause I really like MacOS

red oyster
#

nas with freenas or whatever that bsd one was called

wheat plume
#

macOS = the pretty nice OS severly limited by the hardware its on

#

cause it really can be smooth and powerful but not on Apple hardware cause they throttle TF out of it when the fans should be active

red oyster
#

Good on you

wheat plume
#

and RIP my cpu

red oyster
#

Maybe I should make that clock again but this time a little less inefficient

wheat plume
#

maybe

#

did it react to the mouse movement?

red oyster
#

no

#

it was just a clock

ashen spindle
#

or maybe a bit less efficient thonk

wheat plume
#

oh right

#

ahahah

red oyster
#

a clock where the handles are drawn on the handles

#

about 5k times or so

wheat plume
#

huh?

red oyster
#

A fractal clock

wheat plume
#

handles that are drawn on the handles?

red oyster
#

Basically

#

I saw this video

#

and recreated it

#

It's just that

wheat plume
#

ooooh

red oyster
#

Oh yeah and I had 3 clock hands too

#

I could've just taken his code it is open source

wheat plume
#

what did the 3rd do?

red oyster
#

the same

#

except hours

wheat plume

It's not ctually that bad

takes like 1% to run even when open

#

WE is ok

#

idk hwo I managed 50% wiht my html guess it was just too good

wheat plume
#

XD

#

2fractal4cpu

red oyster
#

I mean the fractal means it has to draw that thing.. 15k times or so?

#

however many I wanted x3

#

And that was not.. very eh efficient code

wheat plume
#

task manager stopped responding

#

gg

red oyster

I like how it somehow launched in such a way that steam doesn't say it is running

Good stuff

@wheat plume 440 was the right call but I still wonder why it didnt install it by default

wheat plume
#

@wheat plume 440 was the right call but I still wonder why it didnt install it by default
@hoary dock I think you may not have selected "non-free" drivers on the boot menu that shows up when you load from USB
that screen where you select time zone and keyboard layout

hoary dock
#

Perhaps

wheat plume
#

I think so

#

Ive always gotten the drivers installed selecting non free

#

Ah yes, 8 calls to my validation method for text boxes

#

wonderful

#

3 to my email validation code

I wish all code editors showed you exactly what is calling each method like VS Studio does

I can just double click one of them to go to that line

well nothing about it got an update so sure

sure but they dont have any more info on it

old marlin

I mean

#

the "ingame" footage looks nice

#

but not impressed by performance

ashen spindle
#

its impressive how much advantage it takes of the ps5 ssd

old marlin
#

I mena it IS impressive

#

but either not AS performant atm as I'd wish or the PS5 is just not good enough

ashen spindle
#

I mean its like a year before release, it aint done yet

#

they said to upgrade fortnite to it next year, so it will be mobile too

#

makes no sense to drop support for something you are just now getting more share int

latent mural
#

@ashen spindle wtf

ashen spindle
#

?

pale sigil
#

Ye Quintosh

#

Wtf

ashen spindle
#

¿

latent mural
#

I'm speechless

#

why they would come out and randomly announce UE5 on may 13th

ashen spindle
#

its not random, part of the summer game fest

#

thats why the tony hawk remake was announced yesterday

pale sigil
#

Unreal engine is poop

ashen spindle
#

go away with your fanboy talk

pale sigil
#

I ain’t a fanboy of any engine

#

I just don’t like unreal 🤣

ashen spindle
#

so you dont like what people do with it and not the engine itself

pale sigil
#

I guess so

old marlin
#

Which do you lile though

#

You hate unity

latent mural
#

@ashen spindle everything i read suggested most analysts thought there would be no UE5 but UE4 would become perpetual like windows 10

old marlin
#

And done like ue

pale sigil
#

Unity can be good but most of the time it produces poop

ashen spindle
#

I mean this is basically UE4 with just some bigger changes

latent mural
#

And yes announcing a UE5 in a blog instead of a major gaming convention is very random

pale sigil
#

I’m also kinda sick of mmos using unreal

ashen spindle
#

but it wasnt announced on a blog but a livestream event...

latent mural
#

@ashen spindle ummm no. If it was basically UE4 they would keep it UE4.

ashen spindle
#

its literally a marketing/legal reason

latent mural
#

there has to be a major leap in technology for them to release a new engine just like when they went from Unreal Engine 3 to 4

crimson wigeon
#

I haven't looked does it have that amazing lighting system that was dropped from UE4 because of consoles being unable to handle it

pale sigil
#

We can all agree UE3 was poop

#

Right?

ashen spindle
#

ue3 is not open source is one of the biggest reasons it was a switch to a fully new version, not the tech

#

it has a new light system yes

latent mural
#

not true

#

UE4 had several huge technological changes from UE3

ashen spindle
#

I never said it didn't?

#

I said they were not the main reason for calling it ue4

pale sigil
#

Is this demo a real game or just a demo 🤣

#

Ofc it is

ashen spindle
#

you can play it the way it is on ps5 dev kit

latent mural
#

UE3 is not open source

ashen spindle
#

yes that was my point, ue3 not being open source

pale sigil
#

Was gonna say dev kit only

latent mural
#

UE4 is not open source

ashen spindle
#

yes it is

#

its on github

latent mural
#

not according to the license agreement

ashen spindle
#

are you now trying to argue it's not FOSS? yes I never said it was

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah it's probably better to call it something like shared source

pale sigil
#

Tbh I don’t see unreal being used by most AAA devs more than say UE4 was.

#

Especially next gen

ashen spindle
#

????

pale sigil
#

Sony deffo wouldn’t

ashen spindle
#

this is literally a selling point for ps5

#

did you even read/watch any of it or are you just here to tell us you dont like unreal

pale sigil
#

I’m still watching it
