Most if not all printer brands block non-same-brand cartridges, as the cartridges are where the golden profit is, not in the printer sales.

Lexmark for me from now on. I've had like 1/100th the issues and replaced the toner about the same
vagrant elk
I love the idea of that printer where you just fill it with ink but I feel like they have something they are hiding. You know, a fatal flaw where it breaks after 2 years "unintentionally" or stops working after 75,000 pages are printed like some companies do.
young pecan
M8, of course.
But what’re you, random fuck off person, gonna do? NOTHING.
We have 0 power here at all.
Just have to suffer the stupid bullshit because some rich assholes decided that was key.

This is why I apply for jobs online where I don't have to deal with printers.

young pecan
But what do you expect when printers like that can be bought for like 40 bucks
We had lightbulbs that were not only cheaper to produce, but lasted 10 thousand hours each. Companies deliberately stopped designing them well to drive up sales.
Same shit happened here.
Cheap does NOT mean bad, not in all cases.

planned obsolescence is the money making dream come true. 😆

This is why I apply for jobs online where I don't have to deal with printers.

vagrant elk
every cheap printer is dog shit
Do you have any idea how many business printers are setup in the firmware to stop working after 150,000 pages are printed? The only way to make them work again is to have someone reverse engineer it and send it a reset signal for that counter.
young pecan
Or.
vagrant elk
Those programs only exist for old printers, never new ones.
timid chasm
that sounds like some serious conspiracy level shit
young pecan
It’s actually true, though.

Never seen that on a laser printer personally.
young pecan
Never seen that on a laser printer personally.
I’ve seen it a couple times now.

Not a conspiracy. Printers also have tracking features. Every single printer made in 2021 tracks the prints with an ID of the printer, serial number and more.

On Inkjets... I have a feeling they'll just clog up well before 150k pages 😄

old marlin

timid chasm
the more words I see the more tinfoil I hear
young pecan
Couple printers I was paid to have a look at were lasers that worked absolutely fine. Even pulling parts out and replacing them did nothing. Just the mainboard was fucked, and registering as fucked with new hardware for the same model.
I took the board, had the chip swapped with a chip from an identical model. Board works again.
The firmware literally kills the printer for reasons.
earnest jay
Unfortunately the whole telling a printer by its printed paper is old news. 😆
young pecan
No damage beyond heaps of use to the board in question, worked fine.
Just replacing one single chip on the board itself made it work again.
And that board was turning on, just giving errors and refusing to print paper. Weirdly enough replacing the firmware managed to make it start up again.
For something reporting a hardware failure it’s awfully weird that replacing a firmware chip magically fixes it.
Unless... that was intentional.
Not like it’s an unknown problem.
earnest jay
Of course intentional, no money of new sales otherwise.

Are you able to buy the chips separately or do you need donor boards?
young pecan
Are you able to buy the chips separately or do you need donor boards?
I tried looking for em, but couldn't find any.
Had to grab a new printer, take the board out, take the chip off, and place it onto the 'broken' board.
The only thing that changed was one chip swap from a donor board out of a brand new printer.
I imagine if you had contacts in China you could probably find chips.

@fair gull intel might actually be cheaper for me 
fair gull
?
old marlin
comes down to an epyc rome 7453 or a xeon gold 5320
fair gull
lol
old marlin
ah
for the huge ass NAS
which needs a ton of pcie lanes
the xeon is a bit cheaper
and you loose out on 4 threads
fair gull
id go for intel anyway
cause in my experience really heavy disk load is just habdled better by intel
at least on huge raid arrays
vagrant elk

It's the proper spelling but it looks wrong.

there aren't a lot of coolers available for socket 4189

old marlin
Aren't there non-corrosive liquids out there for such use?
I work in an electoplating company

which means we have low amounts of corrosives in the air

wait so

with liquid cooling they can accumulate

By the way, for a NAS, would a Thread Ripper work? As I do know there are mounts for TR4 that are easy to come by.
fair gull
technically any cpu will work
earnest jay
That's true.
fair gull
the requirements come from disk amoumt
and in case applicable the required pci lanes like in yamas case
earnest jay
Ahh, and TR probably supports less than server CPUs.
old marlin
they might just include the mounting hardware
old marlin
By the way, for a NAS, would a Thread Ripper work? As I do know there are mounts...
it would work but you would need a GPU
considering that I also need 3 HBA cards as well as some kind of networking card TR is sadly not an option

Fair enough.

Mineral oil cooling. :P

That shit *doesn’t* come off.
That does not surprise me. 😆
I myself am just sticking to air cooling my CPUs, though was looking at an AiO for a new PC build.
young pecan
Grab an AIO, tbh.
@earnest jay Also if you’re brave grab some liquid metal for the IHS.
halcyon moss
what kind of monsterus nas are you guys building? O_o
earnest jay
Grab an AIO, tbh.
Nah, I'm going for a Noctua NH-D15S(chromax.black) when I start buying the parts for my new PC
young pecan
Eh.
AIO is better.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Noctua.
But AIOs are just... mmmmm.
earnest jay
what kind of monsterus nas are you guys building? O_o
I'm not going for a NAS, Yamato is, and I have no clue what kind of monster NAS they are going for.
earnest jay
AIO is better.
Have AIOs improved in performance compared to a Noctua?
halcyon moss
aircooling is just sooooo much easier
earnest jay
Eh, AIOs are also pretty dang easy now'a'days.
young pecan
@earnest jay Yes.
Liquid metal + AIO of a decent kind = damn good performance
It’s water, so you’re limited on the thermal transfer from the fins, but it’s not only better but also quieter than an Noctua.
And in all honestly they’re equal effort.
One requires... 8 more screws.
:O
earnest jay
I just remember a video from Gamers Nexus, which is now reasonably old, that a high end Noctua performed better than some of the higher end 360mm AIOs.
young pecan
Being the dude that’s built, torn apart, bastardised, and modded dozens of computers at this stage I can confirm that even doing it regularly an AIO is still pretty easy. Cleaning thermal paste off and reapplying it takes longer.
As for that old GN video? Kinda sorta.
Running a Noctua big fuck off cooler full bore gives better performance, but it’s audible.
Run a 2 or 3 fan AIO and it’ll make no noise and be a little better.
earnest jay
I bet it being audible, though a terribly done AIO can be a loud thing as well.
ashen spindle
I like noctua because I know I can just use it forever because they’ll gladly send you brackets for new sockets so I’ll be able to use mine even if I jump to AM5, lga1700 etc.
young pecan
shrugs Any reputable AIO will work for ages and not die.
ashen spindle
Yes but not fit on every new platform
earnest jay
Also, a Noctua NH-D15S is cheaper than an AIO.
young pecan
shrugs Do you want performance or performance and silence?
If it needs to shut the fuck up, get an AIO.
Otherwise the benefits will only be had from hard overclocking.
earnest jay
I mainly play with headphones on, and plan on using case fans as well.
earnest jay
Closed back headphones.
young pecan
Ouch. F moment there.
I mean hey, in that case just get fuckin’ anything and call it a day.
earnest jay
Hehehe.
I'm not an audiophile so I don't care about open vs closed or what have you. 😆
young pecan
You don’t need to go hard in to care.
Opens are just so much nicer.
Makes everything feel more roomy and open, like you’re in a concert hall with a good pair.
earnest jay
Eh, don't really care for all that.
young pecan
Idk man. I tried my old pair of closed backs. Audio quality differences aside they felt awful to actually use.
Too punchy even after EQ.
All stuffy and muddy.
:(
earnest jay
Fair enough.
young pecan
Tbh tho, while open backs are nice there ain’t much that beats a nice quality pair.
My HD800S have massive ear cups, I wish everything had massive ear cups. :(
Bring massive ear cups to literally all the things. They’re so plushy.
Comfort 100.
earnest jay
I myself prefer to isolate myself from the noise around me, and I've heard closed are better at that than open.
young pecan
shrugs That’s not really a good description of the trade off.
earnest jay
True, but that's for me good enough. 😆
young pecan
Open backs are like listening to a real electric guitar. Closed backs are like listening to that one kid with his air guitar.
Yes, one isolates noise, but goddamn that is not a worthwhile sacrifice if you can get away with it.
If you can quiet the environment around you to tolerable levels it’s a no brainer.
young pecan
But like... if there’s ANY noise it gets through opens.
The huge downside. :(
Especially keyboards.
And forget taking them anywhere outside. That there does not work.
earnest jay
Hehehe, though your rambling has been good for a laugh, I had to keep finding ways of telling you I'm not really bothered that closed don't sound as good as open.
Besides, I'm fine with the sound that comes out of my headphones, especially because even though they aren't noise cancelling, they still cancel quite a lot of of outside noise and sound, which is a blessing for me. 🙂
halcyon moss

They spread like nothing else, burst into flames with no issues whatsoever, and they clump since they’re spiky.
There are videos of tens of thousands of tumbleweed destroying entire crop fields and towns because everything catches on fire.
wheat plume
oh gosh :O
young pecan
They’re also insanely difficult to remove since they clump and are basically a rolling rose bush, which means the workers get cut super easily which can lead to infection.
Since they grow so fast there’s also not really a way to kill them all off.
Tumbleweed are actually scary.

Proxmox is kinda good at that, it’s got some nifty tools.

it is one of those attached storages

Y’know what?
old marlin
I would have put an ubuntu server on it
halcyon moss
ubuntu to rule them all
young pecan
You have a VM host which has an external storage bank to store the VMs?
Which is in an entirely different server?
Or am I confused? I gotta be confused here.
@old marlin ???
old marlin
no
that is basically correct
helps with scalability
and redundancy
since you don't need the one uberserver 3000 that does everything
but instead can chuck DL380 G8s at the problem
crimson wigeon
Yeah if I wanted a Suse for server I would probably learn MicroOS
Leap just doesn't scream "use me on your server!" to me...
Many people also say YaST is great but I think it's pretty crap
young pecan
I’m just confused as to why you wouldn’t run proxmox for the VM cluster itself and attach more basic storage solutions. Do you really need something that scales like that?
I like to pretend I actually have a valid use for a 16 core game server, but even I’ll admit it’s insane overkill for my needs.
Actually proper mass scalable VM solution? What’re you even doing that requires something so robust?
old marlin
I’m just confused as to why you wouldn’t run proxmox for the VM cluster itself a...
wdym with "more basic storage solutions"?
like some shitty qnap or wdym
young pecan
shrugs Presumably this is in a rack, yeah?
young pecan
A lot of decent cases will be able to support enough drives for a fairly redundant system.
Do you need more than 100TB raw?
young pecan
And so the problem is...?
young pecan
Even for SSDs you can just double sided tape them together.
old marlin
we need more than 1 though
old marlin
buying raid controllers is more expensive than dl380 g8s
even buying HBAs
for IT mode
young pecan

old marlin
so we could do like 10+ drives in ZFS
old marlin
*shrugs* Comes with more moving parts that fail.
and you can easily replace all of them
young pecan
And I’ll be honest, I do not believe in the slightest that you need a system this robust.
old marlin
besides, don't think I have seen any of the servers have a single fail

Gamepass is nice but this is also a major downside

Can't argue with 9 months for free though.
Just trying to break through the initial "we don't want you to access the game folder" stuff for now though 😄
I can take over and copy everything but the .exe files.
crimson wigeon
Yeah, just complain to the game devs that they should enable it then you get the enable mods button which should give you full control
halcyon moss
Still can't believe halo remaster is that many gb.
crimson wigeon
Alternatively if you can pull out all the files you can probably register it in development mode for full access
That may or may not be a bit more locked down nowadays..
reef patrol
Can't touch the .exe files as I mentioned.
Windows won't let me take over ownership or anything.
crimson wigeon
Because UWP .exes aren't meant to be run directly like that (even wrapped win32s!)
reef patrol
It's not just the game app either. It's even the UnityCrashHandler .exe xD

Because UWP .exes aren't meant to be run directly like that (even wrapped win32s...
Regardless I should be able to control my own filesystem. I'd be fine with it crapping out errors if I launched it.
crimson wigeon
Probably part of the reasons why people rejected UWP in the first place heh
reef patrol
I would be very curious to see if replacing the non-existent .exe files with cracked ones from a scene release would work.
Purely for science of course. Not like I mind launching the game through the Xbox app at all, or that I couldn't just buy it outright on Steam or Epixx.

From what I understand from the folks I've spoken with, the authentication process is painfully long.

I don't blame them, having to convert your game to UWP for it to be allowed on the Store, unless they changed that policy.

So they can send the same build to Steam and Microsoft at the same time, and the UWP build will be a week behind.

see thats why I just choose to stick with c#
since you wanna shill c#
mono JITed code has nops as jump targets everywhere
only short jumps though, i think
tbf stuff mono shits out can easily make somebody think it’s obfuscated code
ashen spindle
Yeah but it also doesn’t concern me because I don’t care about the jitted Code really
And I either use Roslyn oder unity which is a customized mono anyway
Or gets turned into cpp
ashen spindle
I doubt I’ll ever be in a place to care about optimisation and/or security of my unity code tbh
ashen spindle
No because their issues is not something that needs JIT understanding or anything that low level lmao they just need to have it work differently
Door collider teleportation is caused by checkpoints set wrongly or something that area and not from exploitable machine code lmao

I have no idea why so many banks run windows XP

Same with healthcare industries. Just... Why?

At least the Canadian healthcare records of every citizen haven't been leaked like they were in Singapore.

I get to go through the joys of changing all of my legal documents twice and having a mandatory background check and fingerprints taken soon. Going to be a great experience that I'm sure won't screw me over in any way.
wheat plume
o.o
vagrant elk
I have to change them twice but I am only allowed to do one change at a time and each change takes like 6 months. It's absurd.
Some countries are even worse though so I guess I can't complain.
vagrant elk
Mhm! I saw one at Best Buy.
At least I think that was a 5a. Either than or it was the regular Pixel 5.
vagrant elk
Yeah, the design is kind of sleek.
wheat plume
I like that its made of plastic
vagrant elk
I saw an OLED Samsung 8k TV at Best Buy for $2500 CAD and I almost cried. The pictures were so beautiful but I couldn't afford it and don't have room for it.

Metal phones feel great every time.

Then I had a Mix 2S
vagrant elk
I don't mind plastic phones if necessary but I prefer metal and if metal isn't possible then I'd generally prefer glass.
Unfortunately the PinePhone is plastic but I can take the back off and remove the battery which I like a lot.
vagrant elk
I had a Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro
My friend recently got a Xiaomi phone and showed off how much they could theme the phone. I'm amazed that it changed every single app icon, background, animations and more.
Meanwhile my Samsung S10 which is soon to be sold off for dirt cheap doesn't let me theme it at all other than the app launcher.
wheat plume
You can theme on Samsung
In the Galaxy Store and you can almost custom ROM level of customisations using "good lock"
vagrant elk
Through Samsung Themes, sure, but most of it requires a purchase of $1 or more.
wheat plume
OOOhhhhh
i still really like Good Lock, I havent used it cause I dont own a samsung phone but the videos ive seen are neat

you want to know the two reasons i know as much as i do?
wheat plume
also sure :P
misty saffron
- i am smart
- refer to reason #1
wheat plume
haha :P
vagrant elk
1.) I bought an Alienware PC which had a lot of software and hardware issues. I was too cheap to pay for tech support from a local computer store so I taught myself how to fix it. Took a few months but I got it fixed.
2.) I installed Linux when I started university and very quickly became red pilled from Luke Smith, Mental Outlaw and many others.
wheat plume
Ah yes.... Luke Smith the meme god
vagrant elk
The thing that started the spiral was Luke's video on LibreSSL and Void Linux.
wheat plume
My previous computer is Alienware... Lasted a really long time! But I think it would still be working if I replaced the CMOS battery
wheat plume
The thing that started the spiral was Luke's video on LibreSSL and Void Linux.
Ah, Is Void's only selling point the lack of SystemD?
vagrant elk
Mine came out of the box with a memory leaking issue, BIOS issues, GPUs which had such unstable drivers that they crashed more than 10 times per second, an SD card slot that never worked properly and there was one other thing I can't remember.
wheat plume
O.o ooohh wow
vagrant elk
I didn't feel like paying to get it fixed so I figured it all out myself.
wheat plume
Oh, Void is not a fork either, ok! neat
vagrant elk
At one point I thought that DIMM was RAM and tried shopping like that. Slowly learned about SODIMM, DDR4 and all of that.
vagrant elk
Ah, Is Void's only selling point the lack of SystemD?
It used to be that it shipped without SystemD and had LibreSSL. Now it just doesn't have SystemD, they went back to OpenSSL.
wheat plume
Ah...
vagrant elk
I was so red pilled at one point that runit and what is the other one called? S6? I thought they were too bloated and started using suckless init.
I do not recommend.
wheat plume
Imagine needing to patch your init system for basic functionality that the suckless devs think it doesnt need
recompiling it each time :O oh no
vagrant elk
It seriously was not that bad if you had a simple audio setup and very few programs at startup.
If you constantly start and stop services you instantly start having issues.

vagrant elk
I fell for those websites once but it asked for me to pay for an anti-virus software that in reality was a rootkit. That was what got me into security of computers.
I only realized when I ran the program and instead of "cleaning" it said "injecting".

meanwhile, installs Valorant, that has anticheat that runs at ring 0
On a windows machine on a physically separated network which has no personal files or information.
misty saffron
that's overkill if anything lmao
vagrant elk
A massive help to prevent exploits in windows is to enable protected folders and turn it on for every folder you can.
Then if any malware hits, none of those files are impacted or changed.

Young people are hilarious.
I went to our local retro (game) store. PS1, PC games on Disc, Comics etc...
While I was browsing PC games, someone actually came in asking for the "diskette PC games" - The storekeeper did a double take... she meant CDs.
wheat plume
LOL
misty saffron
ah yes, the cd diskettes
wheat plume
I love me some floppy drive CDs
reef patrol
Didn't find much personally - I did find a nice copy of Red Alert in DVD box though.
vagrant elk
Hm, my cassette can't seem to fit in this disk hole.
misty saffron
can you really find anything nice in this kind of stores?
wheat plume
Somehow, LGR can
reef patrol
can you really find anything nice in this kind of stores?
Sure - They have a shelf of PS1 games. A small box of N64 and such.
Don't expect to pay super cheap "second hand / charity" prices though.
This is not a random stuff store.
vagrant elk
That's if you have a local electronic recycler that sells them back to people in a refurbished condition. My area has lots of electronic recyclers but all of them send them off to be melted down for metals and such.
I seriously need to find out who's vehicle keeps doing this. The car alarm goes off every single morning at the same time for over an hour and then goes silent. It's rather annoying when you're awake.
reef patrol
Get up early, get ready and take pics and a video of the car. Then call the cops 😄
wheat plume

vagrant elk
It's like 04:05 here Mansen.
Also, mute. Calling is rather difficult.
Selective mute but still mute.

Oof.

Yeah, I have bad people anxiety. Online is kind of okay though.
If I watch a livestream that has 5 or more people talking I can get extremely anxious.

Your local police might have an online form you can send the video with? You can here in Denmark. They even have Twitter and Facebook xD

@wheat plume https://odysee.com/@DistroTube:2/arco-linux-xtended-has-all-the-window:8 DistroTube approves of Arco Linux.

To be fair it seems like an amazing distribution.

i do love it a lot

I could but I'll just start closing the window instead. Then it's not as loud.

Whatever works for you. 🙂
wheat plume
I used the ArcoLinux D ISO, and when you bootup after install, you get into TTY only
Cause you can choose what login manager, desktp and whatnot in the installer
So you must activate the login manager you chjoose with systemctl command
but I love it so much! its a very nice distro
vagrant elk
I love when customization is an option. I also love simplicity.
Simplicity is why I don't run Gentoo anymore.
Don't fall for the 4chan meme.

Mhm! He basically only does videos on right to repair, companies going against what they said, calling out corporate lies and repairing Macbooks.
vagrant elk
Just insert the Linux Torvalds gif and it will be perfect.
wheat plume
Can you change video resolution on Odysee or is this video only available in like 360p?
vagrant elk
Depends on the channel. They can enable re-encoding to other resolutions but Louis Rossman only uploads in 1080p.
wheat plume
oh shit :O
vagrant elk
He has a video on Nintendo charging a customer for a broken screen when it was just a screen protector that they took off. In that same video he talks about how one viewer sent in their Nintendo device for repair and it came back with bent video pins so it no longer worked.
misty saffron
oh shit :O
source?
vagrant elk
All sources are in Louis Rossman's descriptions. He never does a video without citing sources.
misty saffron
no i mean the sex tape
vagrant elk
Oh.
misty saffron
vagrant elk
I hope you enjoy his channel Avanna. He does great videos.
wheat plume
no i mean the sex tape
HAH
wheat plume
I hope you enjoy his channel Avanna. He does great videos.
I like his voice....
The topics he talks about make me too pissed off that they happen l-l
vagrant elk
Welcome to the world of Right to Repair!
Sorry for sending the Odysee link. I've never had issues with the video being below 1080p so I wasn't expecting it to be a low resolution for you.
pale sigil
I do love his videos
But his approach on the pandemic stuff lately bothers me
He seems to have the mentality of I'm vaccinated so I don't care anymore
Which in not a fan of
vagrant elk
I enjoy his content but I only watch the videos related to Right to Repair. If it's anything regarding COVID-19, bike rides or otherwise I don't watch them because I don't care.
vagrant elk
mostly its not 1080
Good to know! I'll be sure to link the YouTube side of the videos instead so that others don't have that issue.
wheat plume
He seems to have the mentality of I'm vaccinated so I don't care anymore
Thats what happening in Ireland .-.
Cases are skyrocketing
vagrant elk
I'm fully vaccinated and still wear a mask. When I went to get food one day I was almost beaten in the place by another customer for being "a sheep". He was definitely out of it because he was making sheep noises at me.
Staff pushed him out of the store so it's all good.

"I do m y research on facebook, which uses algorithms and AI to give me more shit that matches my ideals, that means I have been prioven as right and will become an asshole to strangers for it"
vagrant elk
Yeah. I was also insulted one day when I got groceries because I was proudly wearing the sticker I got for being fully vaccinated.
The government here gives you a sticker if you get both vaccines.
Vaccination card as well.
wheat plume
we get a card on the day of the last shot
and then the certificate that we can use as proof arrives a week or so later
Well, could use as proof if they didnt get my date of birth incorrect 
vagrant elk
Our vaccination cards are just dated and signed when we get the first and second vaccine.
vagrant elk
We don't get anything more than that for some reason.
But I did get a sticker to wear on my jacket for a bit till it fell off!
wheat plume
oop
vagrant elk
Yeah I was playing in the rain and it came off.
wheat plume
our certs have a QR code for places to scan for proof
vagrant elk
We don't have QR codes unfortunately.
I wonder if I should get custom mouse cursors again for my Windows machine.
Saradomin Godsword or something.

I use a theme I found on DeviantArt, but lately DA made it so you need an account to download it, I havent been able to download it since
vagrant elk
For Windows or Linux?

This website is extremely outdated but is what I have used in the past. https://www.cursors-4u.com/cursor/2009/03/31/saradomin-godsword-runescape.html
wheat plume
oh I dont like that theme xd
but I hate this one a LOT MORE
These only work in the browser?
vagrant elk
This website is far better in terms of quality but no HTTPS.
They are full on Windows cursors. Move them into the directory and change them over.
wheat plume
ahhh
vagrant elk
These ones are a lot better than the other website but too light for my liking. http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/runescape-fg
wheat plume
This is what I use on Linux
https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor
It's is default now in ArcoLinux too, so they have a package for it in their repos
vagrant elk
I seriously wish Windows had something similar instead of relying on websites like this.
wheat plume
Yeah... They are working on WinGet
Its a package manager CLI
I believe its available to try out already but it has basically nothing in the repo so far
I just love this theme though <3 Especially how each corner has its own color when resizing a window
wheat plume
Why is the AUR version also installed?!
vagrant elk
Hmm, I'm not sure what would cause that.
Maybe the arcolinux repo is just a pointer to the AUR for that package?
wheat plume
That is possible but IDK, I havent noticed it ask to build this package during updates
Oh wait, this is bin in the AUR too
so it doesnt need to build
vagrant elk
Probably a pointer then I would assume.
wheat plume
Perhaps yeah

It’s not that bad considering my upload speeds are so small. Since I am like 200km away from the computer streaming atm.

Cursors are hardware rendered so usually not picked up on screenshots.
