ashen spindle
Yes ublock definitely works on the phone or desktop app...
pale sigil
You can be whoever you want m80
proud nacelle
I can't
pale sigil
see
ashen spindle
they could change it to have it as an option, they might just decide to not do that idk
ashen spindle
if you just stop it, it wont ever cause a notification, so it never auto acknowledges them
I mean then you just change more stuff, idc, its possible
wtf is that retarded example
crimson wigeon
That first excuse is dumb, just hide the notification clientside and it won't cause any added server load
fair gull
so one you have 200 mil notifies u filter which ones are blocks and which arent
great idea
proud nacelle
They don't have to do anything on their fucking server!
fair gull
that sounds like smth i wanna do everytime a notify comes in
ashen spindle
hell I'd even take ghost notifs over the current implementation, but there I can understand why its not done that way
proud nacelle
@fair gull what's the point? There's plenty of already good existing services
fair gull
so go use them
proud nacelle
Not to mention people generally don't want to change services
fair gull
π
proud nacelle
I could
But then I lose all friends which don't come and use those services with me.
ashen spindle
( I like how the discussion is now between two other people when I'm the one who complained lul)
proud nacelle
Why does it matter if I call them retards or not?
If it weren't for the fucking friends on this service I wouldn't be using it in the first fucking place
fair gull
cause ure just some pretentious dude thinking he could do it better and then you pull back your tail when someone challenges you to be the actual change
you can have all the complaints you want about how you dont like smth
but dont start acting full of yourself if you dont even try to change it
ashen spindle
did he say he could do it better though?
fair gull
well he was clearly good enough to call them r word
meaning he must know enough of the backend shit of how smth like this works to make it better
ashen spindle
you can be vocal about your opinion and disagree with a choice they made without being able to do it better, it's kinda like arguing you can only criticize art if you are a better painter
fair gull
id say calling someone dumb isnt voicing that u dont like it
proud nacelle
Fine
Stop being so butt hurt
And I won't call them retards.
I'll rephrase infact
proud nacelle
The reasons given for the inability to hide blocks is not a very good one.
There are indeed ways this could be done without it affecting the server.
I don't know why he is.
proud nacelle
Tony was angry over the fact that I called the Discord developers retards.
He said that I complain about everything yet do nothing to actually resolve the problem at hand.
proud nacelle
Correct
pale sigil
Its logical for anyone to say that
proud nacelle
I don't let go of my grudges.
ashen spindle
the discussion started from me saying I hate that a blocked persons comment isnt completely gone from the feed for me,
old marlin
wtf is guilded
proud nacelle
It's like facebook.
pale sigil
it seems pointless
proud nacelle
Everyone uses facebook because everyone uses facebook.
So why switch.
Dumb reason.
fair gull
its not discord
proud nacelle
Sure as hell looks like it was influenced by it though
crimson wigeon
No Linux support? Meh
proud nacelle
^
old marlin
what does it do different
proud nacelle
Unless it's a webapp
reef patrol
"guilded" - The name alone is enough to make me want to forget I heard about it π
proud nacelle
Isn't guilded used in reddit too
old marlin
what does it actually do different though
ivory geyser
The threading is nice, Discord should add that
proud nacelle
The word at least?
pale sigil
Nono im not haha
i will admit i wouldd probably switch if everyone else did
Calandar feature alone
proud nacelle
Good luck getting the entire population of this server to switch
pale sigil
is so useful
fair gull
@prisma crag im already offended cause discord exists am irc elitist and i only promote irc as you can see if you search through my messages
crimson wigeon
BuT yOu CaN dO tHaT wItH bOtS
proud nacelle
I don't hve any problem either
I was just stating that it looks heavily inspired by Discord.
pale sigil
oh damn you have your own feed etc
crimson wigeon
I'm all for competition
Bring on all the chat things with their own unique features
I just hope some still remember that people might want nice small separate windows for separate chats...
ashen spindle
Bring on all the chat things with their own unique features
@crimson wigeon that I dont hope bc that means every one of them fails to have something thats wanted
crimson wigeon
Well yeah Discord VOIP is crap, and hehe if nothing is perfect then you gotta have them all installed and ready to go π
proud nacelle
People don't care bout that
fair gull
all i care about is its close to dicksword
old marlin
like I usae voice a lot
pale sigil
For me Discord is perfect rn though id dlove osme small features from guilded
pale sigil
its nearly impossible
pale sigil
Everyone switched to Discord mostly because Skype become awful
and TS is self hosted mostly
or was
Discord mashed them both
proud nacelle
I like mumble.
crimson wigeon
Mumble is excellent at voice chat, a bit lacking at other things though...
pale sigil
I love Telegram but next to no one i speak to uses it.
fair gull
and no lag
pale sigil
dated and poop
other than quality of voice i guess
the newer ts is trying to be discord tho
fair gull
@pale sigil have u seen discospeak i mean ts5
ashen spindle
ts3 works just fine imo and ts5 does look interresting
pale sigil
ye i have
crimson wigeon
I think "dated" is good looking, nice and compact and doesn't try to be overly flashy
proud nacelle
I'd move to mumble asap
crimson wigeon
I don't want every single app on my computer to demand an entire monitor for itself..
pale sigil
huh
proud nacelle
Or even an old laptop
crimson wigeon
Yeah Mumble servers are quite lightweight, even a raw potato is enough for hosting one, assuming you got the bandwidth
ashen spindle
cheap servers are still not free servers
proud nacelle
Setting up a mumble server is piss easy
crimson wigeon
Yeah and look how much space is used by fluff
crimson wigeon
And now imagine if you could have multiple windows and be in many places at the same time, how handy would that be
ashen spindle
I guess thats because it's called teamSPEAK
pale sigil
Exactly my point....
Why bother with it when Discord does it all.
vs ts and mumble
yes quality alone
is a lot less
pale sigil
but idk why people care
proud nacelle
Just because a service does it all doesn't mean it's good
pale sigil
it is though, they dont share our data, it offers voice and text among other features .
proud nacelle
Yes they do share our data
proud nacelle
Very skeptical bout that
ashen spindle
because the way you interact on ts vs discord is completely different, if joining means you are automatically in a voice channel you behave differently than on a discord server
pale sigil
Nothing to do with it.
ashen spindle
well, california has budget gdpr
pale sigil
Discord literally state this.
Also everytime you have an issue with Discord Mage
its always a you problem
π
ashen spindle
not quite true when it was me who started this whole talk about disliking something π€
pale sigil
Everytime mage trashes off discord its usually because he has an issue thats his side
removed slang
ashen spindle
this discussion was discord not having a clean way to hide messages from blocked people, which I pointed out
proud nacelle
Mate, I will complain about everything.
You could give me a perfect piece of software and I would still complain.
pale sigil
either way
proud nacelle
Also fleimi look into umurmur
proud nacelle
It's an even more-slimmed down version of mumble server.
crimson wigeon
Better to complain than silently accept all faults
ashen spindle
I love discord because it saved us from curse voice
proud nacelle
Oh lord
ashen spindle
im not joking
pale sigil
What about Razer Comms? 
proud nacelle
There was another voip software it was a wolf or somethin
ashen spindle
if discord wasnt around, twitch buying curse would've pushed that to be the default
overwolf?
pale sigil
ye overworld
proud nacelle
don't remember by heart
pale sigil
it used TS on it
ashen spindle
think thats a plugin for TS now
pale sigil
Discord Overlay is decent.
I just wish destinys anti cheat didn't block it
Ye im aware.
i used it for a while
ashen spindle
anyway I like ts, have it free on my server anyway, nice backup if discord shits itself again
pale sigil
That
proud nacelle
Also overlays are kinda pointless to be tbh.
ashen spindle
and being forced to talk instead of silence text chat from time to time is nice
pale sigil
I can complain about....
proud nacelle
Alt+tabbing still exists
pale sigil
ye i used to just chill in voice channels for hours
@proud nacelle Alt tabbing during a raid 
ashen spindle
alt tab? full screen source engine wants a word with you
proud nacelle
pale sigil
Hehehehe
proud nacelle
source has borderless fyi
pale sigil
Source is poop
ashen spindle
yes and borderless is not full screen
proud nacelle
I'd consider it fullscreen
ashen spindle
guess you dont want the extra performance then
proud nacelle
pale sigil
And can prevent stuttering
reef patrol
ADHD brain. I have four things going on at the same time. xD
ashen spindle
I use borderless for non intense games where I do that, but in csgo and such I'd prefer a better game
reef patrol
I have never noticed a difference.
ashen spindle
it depends on the game and the resolution you run it on
reef patrol
shrug
crimson wigeon
On Windows I notice a difference because borderless goes through DWM enforcing vsync which I don't always want
reef patrol
No Veesync either π
proud nacelle
No vsync for me either
ashen spindle
I meant the resolution of the game vs the native screen resolution
reef patrol
Why would you run a game at anything other than native? (I'm staring you CSGO nerds down) π
proud nacelle
That is fixable!
Just disable hardware acceleration in the program you're running on your other monitor, problem resolved.
ashen spindle
because higher resolution for super sampling causes the same issues, not just lower res
reef patrol
That's just bad game development then.
urban lynx
has near 2,000h in csgo
sure mansen didnt mean her
ashen spindle
yes its not costing you 50fps or anything and win10 also made it a lot better when it comes to input latency
urban lynx
i dont even know if i run csgo in fullscreen or borderless... i havent done anything to the settings for near 4 years now
reef patrol
I always heard from my former boss that CSGO nerds use 800x600 with lowest settings, on giant screens right up close. So they can see the 4 inch enemy pixels xD
ashen spindle
but there is a difference
urban lynx
i run it native tbf
urban lynx
doesnt change that i'm crap at the game π
proud nacelle
kill me
smaller resolutions makes you want to die
only time smaller resolutions are better is if you have a crt
which don't exist anymore.
not to mention your fov gets fucked
also hud/ui elements
urban lynx
yeah. i always notice with my friend, who often plays on 4:3 res, that he doesnt see enemies on the far left or right because of that
in return, i dont see some on the upper or lower side
a lot of times it's b fleimi π
urban lynx
for me? I think having a screen that isn't an office monitor from over a decade ago might help eventually
proud nacelle
[laughs in second hand monitors]
urban lynx
... at work i have the same fucking monitor as i do now...
proud nacelle
Literally less than $10 bucks
urban lynx
actually no, i have a newer one at work. think the second or third predecessor of mine
but looks nearly identical
ashen spindle
you're all playing it worse than me anyway, I just get carried by friends who are way too good at the game 
proud nacelle
Tbh
urban lynx
i only ever had two monitors
proud nacelle
I can't even imagine spending that much on a monitor
urban lynx
a big, cubey boy from ages ago, and this one, that came out 2007 or so?
proud nacelle
more than $100 on a monitor is insane
urban lynx
i have a nice 1680x1050 res :3
ashen spindle
spending less than 200 on a monitor if you have a 2k pc makes little sense
ashen spindle
spending 500 on a monitor if your pc is 400 it makes little sense
proud nacelle
Nope
I can't find a single one
I can only find CCFLs now and LEDs
Mate trust me
I've looked
urban lynx
totally didnt spent north of 1k for her computer, and it def. did not go into the gpu yet
proud nacelle
I can find laptops for less than $5
But can't find a crt.
Online for sure
But locally? hell no.
You crazy
Shipping costs + chance of it breaking
Not to mention the price
urban lynx
went to ebay. entered "crt monitor" and there is a bunch below 100β¬
urban lynx
some even for free, if you go and get it
proud nacelle
Yeah no
I don't see anything like that
Also another problem with CRTs is the phosphor burn in
That shit isn't fixable
urban lynx
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/verschenke-19-monitor-crt-mbo-e-tron-995-voll-funktionsfaehig-/1460062175-192-9379
obviously would have been even better if they showed it working as well
urban lynx
speaking of csgo and resolutions π

that's a list. of a lot of listings across all sorts of regions
proud nacelle
not if it's down the block
as long as it's on the island i could more or less not give a shit
urban lynx
so where do you live?
proud nacelle
POTATO ISLAND
urban lynx
that is the name?
proud nacelle
PEI

And before you say oh there is a listing here today
Don't
Our car is broke.
Battery died
Then the alternator
Then the starter
And now we don't know what shit is broke on it
I swear by god
Ask @pale sigil
urban lynx
i mean, i guess you cant just call there and ask them to reserve one for you that you'll pick it up at a later date or something.
but too difficult to communicate with humans i assume
proud nacelle
eh
definitively could do that
problem is dunno how long the car will be out
fleimi
I swear by god
The sheer amount of shit we've gotten in the past 3 years
Makes me want to die
urban lynx
also... isnt potato island apparently in the province of ontario? or does yours not exist on google maps? π€
urban lynx
it is
proud nacelle
What the fuck, Canada
proud nacelle
@digital cliff I'm serious though
urban lynx
ah prince edward island?
proud nacelle
Yes
urban lynx
... oh wow. this is embarassing considering I've been in connecticut π
urban lynx
does this count as a crt?
reef patrol
proud nacelle
proud nacelle
Good find
urban lynx
seems to be tft i think
urban lynx

proud nacelle
Not an option
urban lynx
and probably no friends around nearby willing for an hour or so i assume
proud nacelle
urban lynx
i powerwashed my car earlier today
then i accidentally sprayed against the wall of my parking space and figured it was dirty
4 hours later and i had a fresh looking parking space, but my car was dirty again because i forgot to park it away until midway through
urban lynx
i'd keep looking for a damn crt monitor on your island, but the next option would be facebook, and i do my best to stay way from that hell hole
proud nacelle
Facebook ain't a problem, relative has one so I just borrow theirs
But I am looking when I can
On the discussion of CRT's : Windflyback transformers, anyway to silence the little shits?
urban lynx
no idea
wheat plume
Why do Linux phones run on gnome desktop? that shit needs a lot of ram....and these phones have only 2GB
proud nacelle
never thought I would hear Lana say that.
wheat plume
Gnome is notoriously ram hungry
mostly because it tries to keep as much of the desktop in ram as it can to reduce animation stutters and be responsive
but on phones.... with 2GB ram then that is an issue
proud nacelle
Really wish CRTs had replacable phosphor layers.
Would make them good for the ages.
plucky bone
Yo
What are you guys' take on using alternative grease to 205g0?
To lube switches
urban lynx
@proud nacelle time to kickstart "modern" crt's 
ashen spindle
ok I am very happy and very sad
intel 7nm is also borked and already pushed back 6-12 months
so rip intel, thank fuck we have amd now for cpus
but also rip competition from intel then
proud nacelle
@urban lynx I wish. If it were the case, I'd hop on it ASAP.
Also how long has intel have borked nm's?
ashen spindle
the only issue they ever had was something on the >22nm iirc but only for short time
then 10nm
for uh, close to 4 years now?
proud nacelle
Exactly
ashen spindle
with the first desktop cpu coming on 10nm++ Q4 20201
proud nacelle
They should just cut their losses asap.
urban lynx
friend of mine keeps on raving about intel cpu's...
ashen spindle
no it seems to mostly just be non-tech savy management fucking shit up
bc no good communication
proud nacelle
Didn't the CEO step down too?
ashen spindle
yes but unrelated
proud nacelle
Jesus I kinda feel sad for Intel
ashen spindle
sure officially that was one of the points but just on paper
proud nacelle
They need to get their stuff together.
Because without competition it will become a monopoly and there will no longer be any progress.
ashen spindle
well, jim keller is gone too bc personal reasons+ him and murphy didnt get allong
oh dont worry, if amd will not progress, we just have a sudden switch from x86 to arm
ashen spindle
easily, not new ones right at the switch, but older ones no prob
proud nacelle
Also it would be nice if we switched to risc or something else instead of arm
But just switching from x86 would be a start
proud nacelle
ah hell no
ashen spindle
so nvidia cpus might suddenly be the best if amd makes an intel
urban lynx
...
ashen spindle
and I think that's what people think at first, but hear me out
they know that wont work with the ARM part
two main reasons imo
if lets say apple wants to not deal with the nvidia changes they just fork the ISA they ahve so far and make theiy own arm variant
and nvidia will lose all options of any control beyond basic licensing for a penny
two, they mostly need it for interconnection for their gpus. like they did with mellanox, so they need it to grow to be worth
and I guess 3rd, iit owuld be 40b$ + with only a revenue of <2b$ the last years per fiscal year
proud nacelle
Well I hope you're right
ashen spindle
so locking it down and losing more money would actually kill them
proud nacelle
Because last thing we need is arm becoming a locked down platform
ashen spindle
man I would've bought amd despite the already high price if I would've known that before
stock already jumped
intel has a investors call and after that AMD's stock jumps 5%, thats how you know intel lostr
ashen spindle
oh wow
nvidia arm cpus
with integrated nvidia gpu as a killer igpu
I think it wont happen bc monoply regulations probably stop it from going through
crimson wigeon
So.... Tegra?
ashen spindle
kinda but not really
also its all speculation, deal might just not happen or they just make it for small cooperation etc.
reef patrol
π
thick elk
I don't know if Nvidia would even be allowed to buy arm
ashen spindle
depending on certain clauses I'm certain EU and NA allow it, china maybe not as they were the ones that took forever to allow the mellanox aquisition
thick elk
It will at the very least be a complicated matter. Especially considering how widespread ARM is used.
I also expect other chip makers to not like the buyout in gernal, who knows we may see an combined offer by multiple tech companies to prevent arm from falling into just nvidia's hands
ashen spindle
meh I dont see that being the case
seeing as apple already announced they have no interest in the ordeal and they are big in on arm now
warped dove
What's in it for arm apart from a huge cash influx?
thick elk
Apple uses it's own chip designs for gpu and cpu completely and does not depend on any new arm designs / licenses for the most part
ashen spindle
yes and so do most big companies that use arm
thick elk
Softbank the owner of ARM, arm has no say itself
warped dove
Don't they already get mad bucks from snapdragon and all the other licensers, this will just curtail their growth
ah fuk cash is everything
ashen spindle
softbank bought arm for 32 billion and have not made that back yet even close
warped dove
Rumours of the nvidia offer $$$?
ashen spindle
no clue
https://twitter.com/dylan522p/status/1286004990327132161 interresting thread about it with couple other opinions in the replies
urban lynx
but EU prevented some shipping company to buy the TNT company because of "too much elimination of competition or something"
i think ups?
idk
ashen spindle
they are not competing companies
urban lynx
now FedEx bought up TNT and the drivers are in the process of changing uniforms and car decals this year or so
who isnt?
ashen spindle
nvidia and arm
urban lynx
ah
warped dove
microsoft should sell linkedin and buy arm xD
ashen spindle
dont think that alone is worth enough
also, meanwhile at intel it seems they are truly fucked, it sounds like ponte vecchio might not even use their own 7nm put external aka TSMC
warped dove
it was bought for almost 30 bil
ashen spindle
ok and who would be up to buy it for that much or more
thick elk
From what I heard this may also have something to do with intel buying off amd gpu people who are more familiar with tsmc as well.
warped dove
I dunno because it's fucking worthless lol
ashen spindle
also what would ms do with ARM, they would need to restructure it to make money since the current plan under softbank doesn't work and they dont really have any people working in that area
warped dove
But the big M$ boys have over 100 bil in liquid cash right now
if ARM stays relevant for another decade, this would be their best acquisitions ever
ashen spindle
you dont just buy random companies that have no direct integration with your product stack as a non-invenstment focused company, like softbank, if it takes >20 years to go even on the deal if it works out
warped dove
mobile devices are only getting better, the question is will they explode in usage or just chug along at current underwhelming rates
Microsoft invests in technology
shockingly arm is technology
ashen spindle
just because snapdragon/apple/etc. use arm's ISA in their processors, doesnt mean a bigger success related directly to more money for arm themselves
warped dove
No, I'd only make sense if microsoft started to invest in fabrication too and become the next samsung
no i.e. I agree
currently microsoft is making its dollars from cloud
the big steps to reducing their costs are dedicated chips and energy bills
ashen spindle
at that point might as well go for AMD
ashen spindle
thats not how a publicly traded company works xD
warped dove
I knew you'd say that
but infact AMDs rise has been pretty unique in how it's been a revelation of leadership
without that it might go the way of intel with its leadership and greed mistakes in the last few years
would investors be willing to restructure AMD now ... don't think so
ashen spindle
change of ownership does not equate to change of anything else
warped dove
well my pitch was microsoft needs dedicated hardware for cloud and your suggestion was make AMD do it, sounds like some big changes to me
ashen spindle
not really, just adding another option to the semi custom solution is all that would end up being
like they are already working with big cloud and co to tune their server parts to what those companies need
warped dove
worries in gamer
warped dove
I'm just saying that has profits shift to enterprise rather than entertainment consumer, consumers get shafted oh hello nvidia
ashen spindle
but thats not a shift, that's how cpus have always worked, enterprise first
we only might see more stuff like rdna/cdna that amd announced, with a split to optimize better for each market
nvidia did a similar thing with volta/turing
ashen spindle
I've never listened in to an earnings call before but this one is interresting, intel being more open than ever but it's just shit lmao
wheat plume
Thinkpads have the fanciest looking BIOS ever
its like a modern day application holy shit

Interested. Show vid
I wanna wait til thunderbolt 4 (for controllers that work on AMD) but might have to get an e14 before then for work
ashen spindle
tb4 > lol
warped dove
ok smelly read my edit
ashen spindle
there is nothing that stops it from working on amd
warped dove
that's not the issue
the issue is that there's currently not laptop with modern AMD cpus that -does- have thunderbolt 3 support
sorry
fixed
ashen spindle
bc that is still locked isn't it?
warped dove
but at the end of this year there will be host and perhip chips that enable it
for TB4 which will also have minimum requires pushed more strictly
ashen spindle
fun fact, intel trying to act like you need some security to support tb4 when amd does that part better than they do lol
warped dove
which probably also means the end of proprietary chargers for anything under 60W thank fuck
but more importantly, external GPU and good usb-c hub support on excellent AMD CPUs

ashen spindle
hearing the intel CEO being flustered bc people are not happy with more delays is amazing lmao
warped dove
did you see this report last year
the execs literally looked like they were having a breakdown on stage
shuffling nervously, picking themselves, looks literally afraid. It's was pretty sad
ashen spindle
LMAO the ending music is like some opera song that sounds like the play is crashing down
nah I usually just read the analysis of it from smarter people than me
but this one is so easy I had to listen in myself haha
cant wait to read more about this tomorrow when in depth articles about stuff is out
warped dove
Did they mention anything about IO chips like thunderbolt and WiFi AX?
The only reason I don't shit on intel is because they actually bring some important and extremely good secondary products
that isn't supposed to be brand locked
ashen spindle
m8 they had to explain a 12 month-beyond schedule 7nm process and lowered guidence for the rest of the year, nobody cares about thunderbolt atm xD
this was an earnings call not a CES talk
ashen spindle
it does, but its not the part that causes 20 billion revenue in a quarter lmao
hey, at least now it makes more sense for the US to want a TSMC fab to open right next to intel, poach intel people and have them work at a company that can make stuff work lmao
holy shit I think AMD stock is at an all time high LMAO

@ashen spindle what happened?
timid chasm
lol my buddy is annoyed that the IT dept at his work is claiming that one PC is super slow because its never restarted and has more documents on it than they other
My buddy restarts it every night and it has 600mb worth of documents π
proud nacelle
@pale sigil wym "useless 2 years ago"?
Is it possible for a fan to get tired and start slowing down in a course of a day by chance? By fan I mean fan on a CPU heatsink.
timid chasm
I would say if it were bad
but normally I wouldn't think it would just start slowing down unless it's a 4 pin and told to slow down
proud nacelle
Nah I forced it on turbo and it seems to be slowing down.
timid chasm
or unless a lot of resistance has appeared to bog it down
timid chasm
I've never known of any type or average fan to just slow down
maybe its power draw is inconsistent?
proud nacelle
Well
Whatever be the case, I'm gonna clean up the fins tommorow.
If it's still slow by then I'll have to purchase a new fan I suppose.
timid chasm
I've definitely had fans wind down but over the period of a long time
never just a difference over the course of 1 day
I guess bearings could play a role as well but I'm not sure
proud nacelle
It's definitively odd to say the very least
sacred shoal
@timid chasm I'm not sure why having a lot of documents on it would slow it down
unless there's a lot of other problems and it's running out of paged memory
proud nacelle
Pardon my ignorance but what do you mean "feel" the bearing?
sacred shoal
resistance to it turning
timid chasm
@sacred shoal Yeah I'm sure it has 0 to do with the fact that 1 cpu is a 4570 and the other is a 9500 and that the other parts are likely equally old
sacred shoal
that's nothing
the lab I interned at 3 years ago had a computer running vista with 4Gb of ram and a 64Gb HDD

it has no right to
the only plausible explanation I can think of is "their only GUI designer wanted to work with visual studio"
but I feel an inner pang of agony whenever I boot up a flow wrapper and see the windows 8 boot screen
like why
it has a gui straight from the 90s
but it runs a full copy of windows 8
you see it automatically logging in as an administrator account too

anybody got a clue how long sTRX4 is supposed to be supported with new processors?
ashen spindle
we dont know
I think the zen3 version will fit in it aswell, based on the part ram/pcie gens stay the same and zen4 prob has an upgrade in one of the areas
but untill we know about milan or detailed zen3 specs I dont think we can say for sure
you looking at using it at work or smth?
ashen spindle
for what specific workloads?
ashen spindle
ok, what I meant, remember threadripper pro exists now if encryption/more memory is a concern
I trust you to know enough if TR makes sense :p
old marlin
nah no such concerns

intel stock is now down 17%
man im enjoying this way too much for not having any stock in amd lmao
it used to be that amd stock price was nowhere near intel's, despite intel having so many more shares and thus each one of them having less value
old marlin
7nm got delayed again 
ashen spindle
not again, that the first issue we heard of it
but its a 12 month issue :p
the call basically confirmed intel is fucked for the next 5 years
and if they go back after that or make a titanic depends on how fast they can throw out the current management
old marlin
fml how can the new vodafone routers be so bad
friend had unitymedia as an ISP, after they got bought he got a new vodafone router
and since then he constantly cuts out in VC
ashen spindle
funny you mention that
similar here (I upgraded so needed the vodafone station) and I notice on my phone the wifi keeps disconnecting for a few seconds couple times during the day
old marlin
nah he just got it forced on
fair gull
i use my vodafone tower shit thing as modem only
old marlin
another friend had that situation a while ago
same problems
not as bad though
well he is directly connected via lan
and has those problems
fair gull
they are passable as pure modems only problem is no ipv6
ashen spindle
yea was considering getting a good router but it just goes against my grain, bc there is no reason I should need one
the basis product should just not be shit
old marlin
and the old one was just fine
fair gull
eh no router an isp could offer would satisfy me
ashen spindle
you can still upsell your fritzbox contracts without making the base station just having issues
fair gull
not even a nice fritzbox 7590
ashen spindle
I had the unitymedia connectbox and that worked just fine
fair gull
id basically just try to get a modem on my next isp
old marlin
yea gl with that
fair gull
which ik i wont need since they only do modem and then sell you dirt cheap fritzboxes
fritzbox 7590 for 160β¬
which i obviously opted out of
@old marlin its fibre so they have to send me a modem
no matter what
shittiest router one could get
all i read online are complaints
ashen spindle
yup thats the one
old marlin
that is what most people get
fair gull
im super glad the pure modem mode actually works fine with ipv4
no cutting out or anything
idk why my uplaod is so damn high allday tho
ashen spindle
what router do you use with it
fair gull
ubiquiti unifi security gateway pro 4
and then unifi ap nano for wifi
and a unifi 24port switch
for all the ethernet needs
old marlin
well wouldn't change anything in my friends case
ashen spindle
ok so something a bit overkill if I need to get one
fair gull
i mean there is the security gateway
old marlin
since he is directly plugged in via lan to the router
fair gull
the small one
and u can easily use any other ap and switch
just liked the software ubiquiti offers
and pmuch flawless operation
@old marlin im aswell
except i only use it as modem
so i can either use 1ethernet device
or plug in my own router
which is what i did
old marlin
so your setup wouldn't do a thing for him
fair gull
ofc it would
old marlin
unless it is so crap at being a router
fair gull
set his tg to modem
done
and just spend like 500 or 600β¬ on better networking shit
lol
old marlin
lol
fair gull
ud go with a small gateway in normie cases
sad they dont make router/modem combos
basically this was the main reason i went with complete unifi
and not just router and switch
1 ap multiple wifis
because i alweys bottlenecked my old fritzbox
old marlin
if a fritzbox isn't enough for home use that is basically what you have to go to
fair gull
fritzbox didnt like switching about 6gbps of packets
not on a single port
routers usually only provide full 1gbps in one direction each port
so a fritzbox can max like 4 or 5gbps total
this switch can do 26-62gbps of total switching capacity depending on configuration like packet analysis etc
for example stuff like this
(example shown is router only bottleneck)
the new planned usg with 10gbps ports can do full 10gbps while this is enabled
yes
mainly syncing nas systems
and other devices
just buy an old pc
a raid card
done
way cheaper and the same
pop in ssd on onboard sata
plug in drives to raid card
linux onto ssd
headless
you now have a nas that was cheaper and is prob faster
thats why theres freenas and openvault
and stuff
no need to know how to operate
u get a nice web gui
ugly
yes
but cost efective
cause an empty synology 4 bay nas can easily cost 150-200β¬
old marlin
freenas is laughably easy to use
crimson wigeon
But why does looks matter just shove it into some closet or something
old marlin
@crimson wigeon you won't have a PSU dying and then have expensive support fees
fair gull
easily beat by some old office pc
and ya nas systems are stupid expensive to get fixed
old marlin
and often have PSU failures
fair gull
ud need that for a normal nas aswell?
it has the same plug as pc
and makes the same noise
just smaller
overlooked him completely
lol
crimson wigeon
Then make one x d
fair gull
ya just attach a closet to your wall outside your house or hand one from the ceiling
crimson wigeon
Well isn't that what those tiny homes do
fair gull
tbf tino i asked u the whole cutting 2x2 shit because i wanna build a new closet out of wood
server closet that is
i mean u saw my current attempt
power screwing the shit
but its rollable
and usually racks dont have that
when u update switch firmware
and get a warning

he's probably as pissed about pink being the third color option as I am
crimson wigeon
disgusting
old marlin
true
urban lynx
what's wrong with pink?
i'm honestly upset that there wasnt really any good pink or purple options for like, anything when building my pc
meh.
guess all i have left is using rgb fans and set them to pink and purple constantly
old marlin
omg
zowie actually did something different for once
new ZA models have angled switches
urban lynx
not a big fan of green either, but it ended up being on my collar
urban lynx
an air compressor?
why would i have one?
my grandpa has one in his workshop though... π€
he also has a welding thingy
honestly kinda hoping i'll inherit that eventually
he already is too feeble to use the stuff himself... 
the whole barn is in disarray since he cant really do stuff by himself anymore actually
as in, chaotic inside
i just wanna play around with the tools a little tbh π

can i use a hairdryer to dry my keycaps?
frozen anchor
if they are abs i wouldnt risk it
you can just smack them against a towel or something like that to get water out of the stem
frozen anchor
pps is best but pbt is the most common for a step up from abs
as far as durability its something like abs -> pbt -> pom -> pps

i see a nice keyboard on amazon. do you know if epomaker is a good manufacturer?

no clue
hmm it looks like they make akko kbs so it should be fine
probably nothing crazy though
lofty lintel
what is akko?
frozen anchor
a kb brand
their kbs are decent
not sure how they would stand up against something like leopold though
π hmm just found these poking around on kbdfans i wonder if theyre better than cherry plate mounts https://kbdfans.com/products/gateron-lubed-plate-mounted-stabilizers
they must be really new i cant find any info about them

any cable that has what you need is good enough

Not really, not all cables are made equally

Like Calder explained the other day - To ensure pre-orders.
Several keyboard manufacters do this as well where it's essentially just pre-order services without paying DROP or someone else.
Though in the Rpie4 case...case I can sort of get it.
Very untested market - Makes sense to want to have guaranteed funding before proceeding.

oh it was posted here already? mustve missed it

Naw. Keyboards were linked and there was a discussion a while ago π

also, ehhhh, if it was funded in one hour I'm sure a really simple survey or smth could've told them there was enough interrest
