[wheat plume]

ooo

Praise the R E G I S T R Y

in their screenshot, the menu isnt centered

wut

Odd shell glitches

and the other popups stay on the bottom .-.

[wheat plume]

check the action center and system tray

[pale sigil]

ah

[wheat plume]

They stuck to bottom .-.

[pale sigil]

nah

they aren;t

https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/how-to/change-taskbar-icon-size-windows-11

this is stupid

cant wait for winero to update

[crisp granite]

when the bottom b_tch uses glue to ensure the top stays in

[pale sigil]

much better

[tender sparrow]

I see no reason not to keep using Windows 10 for now

Windows 11 is just 10 but worse

[crisp granite]

well

I just assume everyone daily driving 11 now is into CBT

so...I'll ask once cal

do me

pls

😳

jeez, I devolved fast

want me to clean that up?

[pale sigil]

I judt installed to a vm lol

Don't plan to run it on my main system

[ashen spindle]

well its a month of beta testing it so intel can calim it works well on alder lake

[pale sigil]

Like 2gb bigger than w10

Ain't it

Winero is on w11

Nice

Reee

Windows 11 seems to be installing on unsupported systems and their media creation tool completely removed tpm requirements.

[wheat plume]

🤔

When my new laptop gets here, I will install it on my current one

[pale sigil]

Much better

https://www.startallback.com/

[ashen spindle]

wait what if paypal is also somehow down after all the fb outages? someone send me 30$ to test it

[wheat plume]

oh, ok

sure no probs, brah

The Nintendo eShop aint working

Got an error message

[pale sigil]

So much bloat

[wheat plume]

Neofetch on windows

Oooh

[chrome estuary]

Nice laptop.

Someone give me a TLDR on Win11. I'm running 10 (debloated as much as I can)

I would run LTSC buuuut it's not updated enough for the feature shit for some of my games

[young pecan]

It's just Win10 with new shit and all of the tools work exactly the same.

[chrome estuary]

Fun

[young pecan]

You wanna debloat it? You just... can.

[chrome estuary]

So basically win10 but different UI and will eventually have differences

[young pecan]

It's Win10 with new UI and some changes, yes.

And more differences eventually.

Realistically people bitch about nothing with the Win11 update, it's just the same shit from Win8.1 to Win10, it's literally the same OS.

And what people do bitch about is typically the shit power users complain about, little features they like not being good enough, and those power users can fix it with mods and stuff.

The one major thing I actually do dislike is the right click menu, whoever designed that is a moron. Otherwise it's minor nitpicks from powerusers, it functions the same as Win10 does.

[reef patrol]

RIP

[fair gull]

have to agree with the context menu thing

tried editing scripts and you just cant directly... you have to first open the context menu and then click "more options" which opens the old one

no apparent reason for this change

do loke the new terminal tho

and also the setup screen for fresh installs is actually a really pleasant friendly one

you get a real mac/ubuntu experience with friendly bright colors and images, simple text

i am just unsure why it needs to be windows 11

cause even the version string is still 10.0

not even the minor ver got changed

other than that im kinda glad it didnt turn out like a complete shit show

[latent mural]

has the taskbar been un-gimped? can you use small icons and have labels now? does it work with multiple windows?

[fair gull]

will prob upgrade to win11 myself this evening

[latent mural]

un-gimped relative to the beta that is

[fair gull]

same taskbar afaik

[latent mural]

ah perfect

[pale sigil]

You can bring it back

[fair gull]

but i never used window titles

so idc

[pale sigil]

Via regedit yes

[fair gull]

thats not a solution cal

[latent mural]

very sad to hear

yeah

[fair gull]

should be a simple toggle in settings

[pale sigil]

Ik it's not

[fair gull]

not a regedit hack

[pale sigil]

I agree

[fair gull]

also they threw out classicstartmenu regedit hack

so you have to use the win11 one or install a replacement software

[pale sigil]

Which was replaced

[fair gull]

i just setup win11 and tried all classic startmenu regedit hacks

no work

[pale sigil]

https://www.startallback.com/

[fair gull]

ya not a solution for me

[latent mural]

sketchy

[pale sigil]

It's the same as classic start tho

[fair gull]

which is also not a solution for me

i need a non thirdparty software solution

to avoid issues with enterprise software

[pale sigil]

Ye

Well

It sucks

[fair gull]

i personally dont care about any of those changes except context menu

and with that its only that open with/edit are sometimes hidden behind the more options shit

[pale sigil]

It sucks because w11 isn't designed for customised task bar

[latent mural]

oh my god why is the highlight smaller than the icon 🤮

[pale sigil]

It's a known issue afaik

Parched in the next update

[old marlin]

smh first release patch not perfect

[vagrant elk]

Ay, another Brave user!

[crimson wigeon]

Small indie company, can't expect perfection

[old marlin]

well the bigger the project gets the more places you can have where weird problems pop up

and the less likely it is you will find it or the problem quickly

[halcyon moss]

.... how

[pale sigil]

Aye I use it on all devices

[halcyon moss]

Firefox!

[pale sigil]

Not firefoxes fault

But

It's shite for Google services

I used to use it

[halcyon moss]

its fine

i dont have any issues really

[vapid zodiac]

brave best

also chromium apps bae

dark mode 4 lyfr

[halcyon moss]

Google for life!

[vagrant elk]

I use Brave on all devices as well except my PinePhone, that thing doesn't really need a browser because Linux repositories have all the packages. It's just the best browser I have used so far which has reasonable default settings and requires very little effort if any to customise.

I don't use Google services but I could see that being a huge bonus to people that use them. Firefox is a horrible experience in that regard.

[halcyon moss]

firefox is the only non chromium browser

[crimson wigeon]

Soon... Firefox, now Blink powered!

[halcyon moss]

taht would be terrible for browser land

[crimson wigeon]

Exactly

Well, WebKit would still be a thing

[halcyon moss]

yeah lol. even worse

[pale sigil]

Welp

Km bored

I'm gonna install 11

[pale sigil]

Youtube etc was just always shit for me

[fair gull]

using firefox since years never had issues with google apps

[pale sigil]

And not just me

Google services are made to run worse on Firefox

Idk man I had Firefox on multiple systems and different oses

[fair gull]

i dont think thats how it works

[pale sigil]

All had issues with youtube etc

I was fedup

[fair gull]

considering yt runs all the time i use my pc i cant relate

[pale sigil]

Everything has been a breeze since I went to brave

Don't you use youtube music client tho

[halcyon moss]

youtube works a bit slower (because google is using something which only blink supported.. and never became a standard)

[fair gull]

for yt music

and mainly for discord rpc

[pale sigil]

Exactly my point

It got annoying I give up

[halcyon moss]

but.. not slower

[fair gull]

i have not experienced issue on ff with yt music

[pale sigil]

It does when you shve a shit ton like I did

Tons of privacy extensions etc

[halcyon moss]

unless you run it on a pi maybe

[fair gull]

tons of privacy extensions

uses

google

[halcyon moss]

yeah lol

[pale sigil]

Brave

[halcyon moss]

same same

you still use google services

[pale sigil]

It uses the chromium engine without all the youtube shit

Well ye

Point is

It was annoying

When i heavily used youtube

[halcyon moss]

you'll be back

[pale sigil]

May be different now

[halcyon moss]

firefox is best

[pale sigil]

But a few years ago I gave up

I ended up using an extension that used the old version of YouTube and everything was perfect

[fair gull]

been using firefox since i got my first pc like 12 yrs ago

[pale sigil]

But then youtube stopped supporting it

[fair gull]

never understood the point of those

[pale sigil]

I don't hate Firefox xD @spiral belfry does though

[fair gull]

cop is an avid internet explorer user tho

[spiral belfry]

Firefox sucks balls 😂

But not as bad as Safari

[fair gull]

like i said 0 issues with firefox so far

[spiral belfry]

I tried it for like a week, caused me do have to do more work to get everything how I liked it, so was a waste of time and energy for me

This was before whatever update people have been raving about, so maybe that's changed

[fair gull]

thats like me trying chrome for a week and crying that getting it to be like firefox in a week takes too much effort

[pale sigil]

My issues is purely Google services

[reef tundra]

it is a fox that is fire and browses the web

[spiral belfry]

I want stuff to be perfect instantly, if it doesn't then it can fuck off 😂

[pale sigil]

Firefox Qauntum?

[fair gull]

cal u know more than anyone that i mainly use gservervice like drive, docs and yt

[pale sigil]

Was the reason I switched to it personally

[fair gull]

and even groups

[vagrant elk]

The only reason I stopped using Firefox was because I had to change a lot of flags and other settings to get it to work the way I want it to whereas with Brave that isn't the case. It was basically just the ease of setting up the browser the way I like that made me start using Brave.

[pale sigil]

And brave has so many nice privacy tools

[fair gull]

and yet u use google services

[pale sigil]

Google don't need to know every site I visit, Facebook don't need to make a profile for me even when I'm not on their site

Every site is infested with tracking cookies

From shit you don't even use

[fair gull]

not like i care

what they gonna do?

show ads?

oh noe the horrors

[halcyon moss]

install ublock, done

[fair gull]

my poor pihole will have to block a few dns requests more

[pale sigil]

Nah

They don't do enough

The only gripe I have about brave is sometimes it's to strong it blocks capba

[vagrant elk]

Speaking of Captcha has anyone else noticed that Google's captcha is normally fine but hCaptcha on a phone or laptop can be abysmally slow?

[pale sigil]

That's prob brave

[young pecan]

Ngl I’m basically to the point of giving up.

Everyone’s so goddamn concerned about not being tracked, and my fucking god they’re delusional if they think they’re actually avoiding it.

[halcyon moss]

im not gonna make it easy!

[vagrant elk]

You can reduce it but never get rid of it.

[young pecan]

For me I’m letting people track me because I don’t care and just employing heavy security.

No point fighting it, telemetry is useful.

[vagrant elk]

I can block Google or Facebook, or at least think I am blocking it but they simply have to change a URL and I'm back to being tracked.

[young pecan]

I don’t even care, I just can’t.

[vagrant elk]

I just run Brave and uBlock Origin because it reduces bandwidth usage so websites load faster and it blocks ads. I hate seeing ads.

[young pecan]

I run Firefox with a piHole because fuck ads annoying me.

Otherwise the corporate overlords are free to track all of my movements, it’s inevitable and I can’t avoid it anyway.

I’m reliant on the internet for business, not like I have any reliable way of avoiding shit that ISN’T a thousand years of effort.

[reef tundra]

There is a reason why right to remain silent is recommended by any lawyer

[reef patrol]

Depends on the kind of court and case. Sometimes if you hold your peace, the opposing side's story will be assumed to hold true.

[reef tundra]

Let the lawyer do the work, answer nothing until the lawyer has told you. They know the law and when you have to answer or not

[reef patrol]

I mean that I can't disagree with.

[reef tundra]

You will never persuade the police interrogator to change their mind

and they are allowed to lie

https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE
if you want to know why

[ashen spindle]

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16991/asus-geforce-rtx-3070-noctua-edition-announced honestly what im mostly looking forward to with this is the teardown

if it's super easy to replace it with a standard noctua fan and does well

[reef patrol]

Puts Corsair RGB fans into the shroud instead

[ashen spindle]

that would be really nice

[crimson wigeon]

It's cool and all, but what's the availability gonna be like?

[reef patrol]

At least five.

[young pecan]

Presumably amazing since I see nothing stoping Noctua from making kits.

[vagrant elk]

Presumably about as bad as everything else on the market. Don't expect to get your hands on one unless you're extremely lucky or a bot.

[misty pier]

they kept the good old brown and beige

[young pecan]

Ngl I think Noctua doing anything that isn’t brown and beige is just weird and offputting.

It’s an awful colour scheme, but damnit if it’s not Noctua.

[vagrant elk]

Just wait 5 more years, maybe they'll release "industrial" GPU coolers which are 3000 RPM and black like the desktop ones.

Still confused why their industrial fans are black but they can't seem to offer black for their normal fans.

[young pecan]

‘Reasons’

[crimson wigeon]

"Industrial"

[reef tundra]

'Industrial'

puny toy fan

[vagrant elk]

I wish I was joking, the Noctua fans I have right now are Noctua industrial fans with a maximum of 3000 RPM. I only bought them because they were black.

[reef tundra]

100 000 rpm is where the real fans are running at

[young pecan]

I have A12x25s because I can get em for cheap and they look REALLY nice.

[misty pier]

i bought chromax fans cause it was in black

[vagrant elk]

I found an extremely awesome website hosting company today and after seeing their offering everything else looks like garbage.

[ashen spindle]

yeah they have black noctua fans for a while now

[young pecan]

Just...

Brown and beige A12x25s.

🤌

[vagrant elk]

Get this. They offer enterprise Cloudflare features to all of their customers starting at $30 USD per month, almost instant support, over 20 server locations, and as a bonus they are carbon neutral as a company.

I just find that insane. Cloudflare enterprise is a minimum of $500/month for the company and they just casually give it to every single customer.

[reef tundra]

Enterprise just means it includes a maintenance contract for not having to worry it not working any longer

[ashen spindle]

ya until you actually need the features cloudflare can provide and suddenly your cheaper solution was not able to stop the ddos and your site is down

[young pecan]

Yeah this.

You can have 99.99% uptime for your DDOS’d site. Pog.

[reef tundra]

Enterprise just cares it works, not what and why.

[vagrant elk]

The company, Kinsta, made a deal with Cloudflare to get the enterprise package. Kinsta as a part of that agreement are allowed to make their own changes on top of Cloudflare's network and offer "Kinsta CDN" which offers everything that Cloudflare enterprise CDN offers to every single customer.

Any feature that Cloudflare enterprise has is also available to you as a customer. I just find that insane for a starting cost of $30 USD per month.

[ashen spindle]

sounds like a great marketing point to sell it to people who dont actually need it and for the people that would need it, it introduces delay as it has to go through a middleman and not cloudflare directly

[reef tundra]

Eh, your priority in the network has to be shared with all costumers in the cloudflare priority

You will be the first to be dropped when the strain becomes too high

cloudflare only has to consider the company in their assesement. The customers of the company can are not able to sue them because they got no contact with them

[peak egret]

is this just a morpheus with a shroud?

ill bet money morpheus and those fans will beat it

[ashen spindle]

isnt that making the card a tripple slot cooler?

[peak egret]

wdym its already over 4 slots wide

[ashen spindle]

what

[peak egret]

the asus card is over 4 slots

[ashen spindle]

oh huh didnt look like it

[peak egret]

so you may as well jus get a morpheus

[crimson wigeon]

4 slots wut

Why so chonky

[peak egret]

i mean a12x25s are already 2 slots of space almost right there

[ashen spindle]

still gotta wait for performance data

[peak egret]

i mean its gonna perform well for sure

just a bit wasted on a 3070 if you ask me

get noctua to design a 3090 cooler? thats where its at

[ashen spindle]

nah that would be horrible as a first attempt to breach into the market

[peak egret]

yeah i guess the demand will be lower but a cooler like that is wasted on a 3070

[ashen spindle]

also the biggest benefit this has over the morpheus: it's not something you need to put together yourself

if the performance and price are right it's not wasted

[peak egret]

i mean its not going to be that much better over exisiting 4 slot massive cooler cards

even without the gpu shortage its going to be on the more expensive side of 3070s

[ashen spindle]

it's their first thing not a halo product to pretend they know the best in all areas

makes most sense to put on not the biggest heatload and see how the product gets received and then decide what to do in the future

[peak egret]

i mean they can do whatever they want its still going to be sold out

[ashen spindle]

and if it's not worth it asus just won't do another one and stick to their own next time

so selling out is not the metric to go by

[peak egret]

yeah but it doesnt change the fact that it will be

i mean its a 4.3 slot card with two of the best performing fans you can buy for pcs,unless they put intel tim on there its going to destroy

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter if it's more than a 3080 would cost for example

im a bit lost on what your point is

[peak egret]

my point is such a massive cooler would have been better used on a 3080 or better

[fair gull]

guess whos back

g100s

[reef tundra]

It either works or not

[vagrant elk]

Tony you need to draw a pumpkin on Pikachu's head to become spookachu.

Also, hi Tony!

[fair gull]

hi fym

and i cant draw for shit

cant u see by just looking at my attempt of a pikachu

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/good-gif-9510781

me too

[vagrant elk]

I thought your Pikachu was adorable. Just do an Orange circle with the best black lines you can do and BAM, pumpkin head.

[fair gull]

how do i get the hair on top again

[reef tundra]

Become rich

[fair gull]

u know how painful it was to make a transparent overlay of my normal avatars hair

[vagrant elk]

I assume you used paint?

Or did you use layers in a photo editing program?

[fair gull]

na i actually used photoshop to transplant my normal avatar hair onto pikachu

[pale sigil]

sptspdamn

damn

[vagrant elk]

In that case just open it in Photoshop again and when you create a new layer just drag it below the hair.

[fair gull]

wha

[pale sigil]

i can finally use hdr

without it being annoying

[fair gull]

i dont have it saved in layers

i literally made single pixels transparent

overlayed it

overwrote the pikachu image

and didnt save the psd

[fair gull]

so the rap song sounds better now?

[vagrant elk]

Do you have the hair saved in another file by chance?

[ashen spindle]

yknow somehow I doubt you suddenly got an expensive hdr screen so how are you using it?

[pale sigil]

ive always had hdr

its just it was always awk to use

[ashen spindle]

hdr400?

especially if you say you always had it I doubt its actual good HDR bc that shit is still expensive

[pale sigil]

does it matter

xD

i notice a huge difference

[ashen spindle]

it's a massive difference between actual good hdr screens and some that just have some extra lights

[pale sigil]

still notice

tis all i care abot

[shadow minnow]

I mean depends on color calibration can make huge difference even when it should not

[reef patrol]

Yeah it does. Higher numbers mean you're getting an actual HDR experience and not "eh... here's a flashlight"

HDR400 is pretty useless in general imo - And it tends to fuck up your desktop colours.

[shadow minnow]

Don’t remember last time I have seen my hdr 600 monitor so can’t say for sure how much of a difference I see between hdr 600 and SDR both dci p3

[ashen spindle]

you can see a difference in lower tier hdr, but doesnt mean it's actually better or more accurate

[pale sigil]

the difference is night and day for me

in some games

[shadow minnow]

^
Or SDR may be really badly calibrated so HDR looks normal, but you still don’t really get the hdr experience

[ashen spindle]

just say what hdr it is xD

yeah or that

[pale sigil]

i thought it was obvious i was confirming you saying that

[shadow minnow]

Imo best HDR experience is still just OLEDs. Sure zones and stuff are better than nothing but still compared to OLED or micro led

[ashen spindle]

then it's more likely your sdr shit is not properly set and you would get more by setting that up properly if it's just 400

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, basically

Hdr 400 is better than nothing I guess

But definitely can’t compete with like hdr 1000 on an OLED

[fair gull]

nope

[pale sigil]

never said it could compete

[formal meteor]

I'm just waiting for a 27 inch OLED man

I bought that LG CX 48 OLED was amazing

[pale sigil]

OLEDis the dream

[formal meteor]

seriously

I had played some Last of Us 2 on it, looked so nice but that was when I also had bad vision and didn't wanna use my glasses so close kinda wanna buy it again since i got lasik

[pale sigil]

ngl

i dig w11 light teme

theme

[formal meteor]

all i had to see was light theme

heathen

[pale sigil]

have to resync all my emails

x.x

[vagrant elk]

Am I weird for just using the web client? Then again it isn't like I have any other choice, ProtonMail doesn't have a desktop client.

[crimson wigeon]

No, most people are using web clients these days

[vagrant elk]

360hz OLED when?

[pale sigil]

well this is nice

i have game pass but it wont register

[vagrant elk]

Xbox?

[pale sigil]

ye

[fickle ore]

anyone cleanstalled w11 yet

?

[vagrant elk]

Microsoft always seems to have bugs. On my Xbox 360 I had Xbox Live for over 3 years without paying a dime for it. I just gave it a PayPal account that didn't exist and it kept charging that account.

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-laugh-laughing-you-serious-jk-simmons-gif-6107729

[pale sigil]

good start

[reef patrol]

install Win 11

[fickle ore]

god I just installed new bios and made bootable iso and transferred all my shit on my other ssd

[vagrant elk]

Are you using the Xbox overlay in Windows Callum? If so that looks nice.

[fickle ore]

finally ready to clean install

[chrome estuary]

Yeah I pretty much only ever clean install

I still haven't updated however

[fickle ore]

@chrome estuary Do you ever deactivate your windows product key b4 clean install on new ssd?

[pale sigil]

its a clean install

honestly, w11 is beautiful

[chrome estuary]

i don't pay for windows

[fickle ore]

I paid 10€

back in w8 pro days

[vagrant elk]

I active windows through an organizations servers so I pay nothing.

[pale sigil]

always got it free via uni or college

[vagrant elk]

I just paste something like 5 commands into command prompt and it's activated for me.

[fickle ore]

but do u got window 11 PRO and not pleb edition?

[chrome estuary]

I might download Win11 and try it on a VM

[vagrant elk]

I can get any Windows version I want, Dag.

[pale sigil]

well this is a good start

store fucked

[fickle ore]

nice fellow non.plebian

[chrome estuary]

using the store

callum buddy

[earnest jay]

Don't you still need TPM2.0 though, or did they get rid of that little tidbit?

[vagrant elk]

That's all I do. Not sure if it works for Windows 11 but I don't see why it wouldn't.

[chrome estuary]

I'm sure I can get a VM to show TPM2.0 but no I don't think you do anymore

[pale sigil]

vmware

i was using w11 in vm

[ashen spindle]

can we maybe not share a tutorial on how to illegally activate windows here?

[chrome estuary]

Is it really illegal?

[pale sigil]

Disord thinks so yes

[ashen spindle]

if it aint it's the least bright shade of grey possible

[chrome estuary]

Yeah

[fickle ore]

brb installing w11 on my optane

[vagrant elk]

Windows already sells my data, they don't care how I activate Windows. As long as I use it they are satisfied.

[fickle ore]

Do I need to unplug my 2nd ssd nowadays

or are those days gone

[reef patrol]

For clean installs always only have one drive plugged in.

[fickle ore]

oh why?

[reef patrol]

Unless you want Microsoft to designate RANDOM SSD 3 as the boot sector drive xD

[fickle ore]

LOL

ok

[reef patrol]

I've had so many cases of dead non-os drives fucking over OS booting, cause the boot files aren't on the drive you'd logically expect them to.

[vagrant elk]

To be fair as well, I paid for a Windows 7 key many many years ago and after reinstalling Windows it didn't register that key anymore and trying to enter the key to activate my fresh Windows install would just say that the key was already used. After that experience I stopped caring, I technically own Windows 10 Pro but their bad activation system made it so that my legally obtained key didn't work anymore.

[fickle ore]

@vagrant elk yea this is why I always deactivate b4 clean install

[reef patrol]

I have unused 10 keys in envelopes with seals. In case MS would ever come calling (reviewing being technically company stuff, not consumer), but I've always used KMS activators.

I will not - ever - use an MS account to keep track of my serial keys. Especially since you don't have any control, MS just arbitrarily decides you get to activate behind the scenes 😄

[fickle ore]

slmgr.vbs /upk

[vagrant elk]

Since Windows is forcing a Microsoft account with Windows 11 I am just going to go back to Linux. I am not making an account for your email services that I am never going to use just to have the privilege of using your operating system.

[fickle ore]

@vagrant elk not with pro key

iirc

[pale sigil]

i cant get used to having the task bar at the bottom

[reef patrol]

I used a local account just fine in beta?

[fickle ore]

@reef patrol pro key?

[reef patrol]

Yessir. Always pro here.

[fickle ore]

Yeahhhhhhhh

Pro ro0=xX00xr

[vagrant elk]

I thought Microsoft was saying that they were going to start requiring a Microsoft account. Maybe it's only for non-pro users.

Regardless Pop!_OS just feels like home right now.

[reef patrol]

I sure hope they don't. Cause that'd be very anti-EU.

And we all know what happens every time MS pulls one of those xD

[crimson wigeon]

Yes pleb edition likes to force MS accounts

[fickle ore]

both pro und pleb edition try to force acct on w10 too if u have internet on

[reef patrol]

Yep. Old news. 😄

[crimson wigeon]

Pro has the option to make a local account, but it's not entirely obvious since it's a link, not a button

[fickle ore]

yeah

well see u on the dark side soon

wonder if I remembered everything

put all my shit on another ssd that is not gonna be OS drive and exported my bookmarks

anything else?

[reef patrol]

Appdata savegames and such? User folder subfolders?

[pale sigil]

i cloned my entire OS for that

xD

[fickle ore]

yeah nothing

[pale sigil]

just clone your os and retrieve shit later

[fickle ore]

No need :=

@pale sigil xD xD xD

[pale sigil]

i have 32gb

am gud

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

glad ive been running https://discordjs.moe/r219bhg3yv0v.png since years now

literally solves the issue

[pale sigil]

haha i used to run that

one thing ive always wondered if anyone could shine some info on it

is bluetooth adapters

they are dirt cheap, is that because they are jsut cheap in general or just best to avoid

[fair gull]

bt is cheap in general

cause its kinda garbage

[shadow minnow]

I would say there is not really a reason for them not to be cheap, especially older standards

[fair gull]

its only really good for voice and very tiny amounts of data

[pale sigil]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088KDKBZR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AL7QQ2P0QXSST&psc=1

[shadow minnow]

Yeah. I mean, you can also get Bluetooth accessories… for a cheap price when it comes to low end, bt does not appear expensive

[fair gull]

as i said its basically garbage tier wireless technology for anything but voice

and maybe mouse/kbd data

[wheat plume]

Infrared ....

I remember using that to send and gets songs from my friends phones

[pale sigil]

PTSD from transferring a song over inferred

[shadow minnow]

Makes me wonder if infrared earphones ever existed, or just headphones

[fair gull]

have u tried transfering songs over bt

its as ptsd inducing

[pale sigil]

its nowhere near as bad

x

xD

[fair gull]

it is

faster to just send it in whatsapp

or discord

or anything that uses internet

[pale sigil]

im just getting it for controller

[fair gull]

like i said thats what its good for

stuff that uses very little data

[shadow minnow]

I don’t get why is “smart” hdr so bad. Like, 12 pro max already has iso range that allows you to get a really good hdr picture with no overexposed sky if you connect just a few, even two pictures.
And yet smart hdr sucks, especially with sky.
Why is the iso range even there if it’s useless

Tbf most pictures use lowest iso just the shutter speed that is allowed to be longer by this is too long. If it combined that with picture with shorter shutter speed sky photos could look so much nicer

[empty wren]

No, apple knows best.

[empty wren]

Also dontcha have some raw photos which would imply you edit them.

[shadow minnow]

Yes but when parts of sky are 255 255 255 (if 8 bit) no editing can help. Apple is just for some reason really refusing to make good hdr even though they d definitely have resources for it

Yeah it’s impossible to fix stuff like this by editing

[wheat plume]

TMW you cry cause an 11yo has a better computer than you will ever have

JayzTwoCent's daughter, her computer has an RTX 3080

[vagrant elk]

Okay so funny story, I changed my TOTP for my email and forgot to backup the changes to my external hard drive. As a result my email is now permanently locked because I didn't setup a recovery method so I will basically be throwing away this persona and everything associated with it since I can't access much now.

[wheat plume]

:O

oh

wow

[vagrant elk]

It's okay, I knew it was going to happen eventually. Just tells me that I should've bought a FIDO2 security key earlier and started using an online password manager like BitWarden instead of being stubborn and doing everything exclusively with KeePassXC which doesn't sync across devices.

[shadow minnow]

I would try contacting email company support maybe there is a way

[vagrant elk]

Nope, not a chance. Not with ProtonMail. They borderline scream at you during sign-up saying "If you don't set a recovery method you can't recover your account and nobody can help you whatsoever".

I did save the back-up TOTP keys but they were in the same KeePassXC database that had the new TOTP so in other words it was stored in the worst place possible.

[earnest jay]

How come you can't get into your KeePass?

[vagrant elk]

I didn't backup the database to my external hard drive and installed Pop!_OS over top of Windows which had the most recent database file.

I could in theory do a file recovery scan and recover it but I don't know if that would actually recover it or not.

[shadow minnow]

Would at least try it

[earnest jay]

Ahh, yikes.

Lessons learned, and good motivation to finally switch to Bitwarden, right?

[misty pier]

haha.. that's why i stopped using keepass, but it's great if you're on top of backups and all

[earnest jay]

I myself am using Bitwarden, super useful.

[shadow minnow]

Hide my email iCloud is enough for me for now. But Google starting to get so annoying, now want my phone number every time I log using private relay in, on accounts even without it

[misty pier]

yeah, i transitioned from lastpass to bitwarden and i don't regret it haha

[vagrant elk]

BitWarden alongside FIDO2 authentication is the most ideal scenario through what I have seen. Super secure online password database and you can have multiple hardware keys synced with the same information to make sure that if you ever lose one you always have more.

[earnest jay]

I've been looking into Yubiko's YubiKey.

[vagrant elk]

Oh, also check out the NitroKey! It's basically a YubiKey but they open-sourced the firmware and hardware as well.

[earnest jay]

Cool.

[vagrant elk]

Or if you wanted to be a cool kid and liked cryptocurrency for some reason (can't judge, it's a neat idea) you could use a Trezor Model T as a FIDO2 authenticator.

[earnest jay]

Hehehe.

[vagrant elk]

Speaking of Trezor, I really want to see what happens with Tropic Square. A completely open-source security chip is massive.

[earnest jay]

Sounds interesting.

[vagrant elk]

They are developing it because the security chips that are currently used require NDAs, are proprietary, you aren't allowed to test them for vulnerabilities in some cases and even if you find issues the company won't fix them. Tropic Square aims to make that all go away to make everyone's life easier: the developer's and consumer's.

[earnest jay]

What's the use of a security chips if all the required stuff to make sure it's secure is undoable? 😆

[vagrant elk]

Exactly! I never understood that either.

Trezor basically got so annoyed with the industry that they said "Fine, we'll make our own" and did it. Supposed to be coming in 2022.

[reef patrol]

We're complaint.

[latent mural]

does that mean cause i own the wooting one i get a discount?

[vagrant elk]

Through my understanding, yes.

[earnest jay]

Damn, that's as good as carrying water in a colander.

[latent mural]

the only next thing is how do they see it

[reef patrol]

Details to follow. Don't make assumptions quite yet. 🤔

[latent mural]

maybe when i pay again with paypal or smth

[vagrant elk]

So, I know that people like things being made out of metal but aren't these prices a bit excessive? It's a Trezor Model T with the same firmware and software but a metal case selling for a minimum of $600 USD, $400 USD more than what a normal plastic case Trezor Model T sells for.

Some of their cases are $2000 USD and I don't understand who would pay that much money.

[ashen spindle]

people who need to show off their 500 bitcoins

[vagrant elk]

Honestly, fair enough.

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, people that just don’t care and wanna show off that they have lot of Bitcoin there or sth

[wheat plume]

I love when there are cats in laptop reviews <3

[vagrant elk]

Aw, that cat reminds me of my cat! I get to see my kitty again at the end of the month. 🙂

[pale sigil]

im bored of W11 already

[wheat plume]

Me too!

Other than the new file manager

I like that one

[ashen spindle]

it's a system that is supposed to run in the background so you basically ignore it not a never ending series to watch and focus attention to lmao

[reef patrol]

It's an operating system, not a Netflix series.

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-windows-update-yokedici45-gif-19818505

[empty wren]

Get outta here with win10, win11 is the season

[misty saffron]

just don’t tell that to lana, alright?

[pale sigil]

hmm

apple says i can get 175 for my IPad

i can get an ipad air + air pods for 356

[crisp granite]

might as well get airpods pro

having tried out both, side by side (borrowed a friend's pair of pros, with new eartips)

the regular are just...dogshit in comparison, just for comfort and actual use

[pale sigil]

i dont like earpods

other than apples design

also its free

you get th em with purchase of an ipad

so id prob sell em

[crisp granite]

my airpods were gratis as well with my iPad air

[misty saffron]

do not

[crisp granite]

I'm just suggesting taking the upcharge for the Pro if you plan on using them

because they're better

🙂

[misty saffron]

ask any person with airpods pro

[pale sigil]

anyone used apple trade in?

[misty saffron]

who’s owned them for longer than a year

no way it’s going to be a recommendation

[crisp granite]

uh...

hollow

[pale sigil]

super confused about this

does this mean ill be left with credit after using my own money

[crisp granite]

the dude I borrowed the pair off got em at launch

[pale sigil]

or will they refund me the difference

[crisp granite]

refund the difference, if the trade-in value exceeds that of the products you buy

[misty saffron]

they refund the difference

[crisp granite]

in the form of an apple store gift card

[pale sigil]

yes thats my concern

[crisp granite]

for MOAR APPLE PRODUCTS

[pale sigil]

i dont want credit lol

i wanted it deducted from the item im buying

[misty saffron]

they refund the difference in gift cards if you traded in something that’s worth more than what you bought

[pale sigil]

wot

[crisp granite]

ok

so

[pale sigil]

Ok so if i trade in a 170 quid ipad while buying a 535 quid ipad

[empty wren]

If you bought something more expensive than what you want to buy currently

[crisp granite]

if the value of the trade in EXCEEDS that of what you're buying

[pale sigil]

will i get that 170 reunded to my bank

[misty saffron]

you pay full and then you get the 170 refunded to your payment method

yes

[reef tundra]

"Refund the payment method" then

[pale sigil]

So basically if they accept my trade in

£365.20

damn ...

also they didn't list audio jack as an issue

whatcha think

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177472139820138497/895069657717956638/unknown.png

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177472139820138497/895069601291976724/unknown.png

[misty saffron]

not if

they will accept it

hell, they don’t even check what you give them in the box

[crisp granite]

[reef tundra]

They just wont pay your payment method

[crisp granite]

note to self - apple referbs are a no no

[pale sigil]

[empty wren]

Only if you bought like a iphone 13 and want an ipad air instead though for example

[empty wren]

Might be okay so long as genius does not hand them out

[crisp granite]

imagine buying an iPhone

because I could see myself doing that

[reef tundra]

Only one paying is you. The rest goes by apple points if the purchase price was smaller

Once the money goes to Apple

[misty saffron]

funny considering it’s usually samsung users who say that

[crisp granite]

I actually have a samsung phone

[misty saffron]

my condolences

[reef tundra]

Apple died?

[pale sigil]

So tempting

My god

£275 if I sold the air pods

[crisp granite]

275£ for the latest iPad Air is actually a solid deal

[reef tundra]

You know what else is solid deal

[crisp granite]

I paid 780 CAD for mine, the 64 gb, non-cellular version

[empty wren]

Free real estate?

[pale sigil]

Ik that's why I'm so tempted

But it's risky

[reef tundra]

https://youtu.be/yNxPVj0hejg

[pale sigil]

It's if apple accept my trade in

[crisp granite]

then wear a condom when you walk in

the head condoms made of fabric robbers wear

[ashen spindle]

I mean go and check

[crisp granite]

I swear they won't flag you as one

[ashen spindle]

not like they will take it and not return it if they dont accept it

[reef tundra]

Threat of nuclear annihilation ought to help

[empty wren]

You mean the.... the pantyhose?

[reef tundra]

https://youtu.be/v93LDf6yqeA like that

[empty wren]

Bruh

[crisp granite]

the baklava

[empty wren]

Oh

[crisp granite]

*balaclava

[empty wren]

Or like any typical person during the pandemic wear a face mask lol

[reef tundra]

*Wealth redistributers headgear

[empty wren]

Speaking of that pretty sure I saw a news story a few months ago a guy robbed a store without any mask

[reef tundra]

You see the judge will be so confused that they must exonerate the case

[empty wren]

Could also call it Robin Hood like that one service, for lawsuit confusion

[reef tundra]

call it innocent

[empty wren]

A new lawsuit has come up on the company known as innocent, Innocent is being sued

[reef tundra]

Motion to dismiss

[pale sigil]

Getting sick of this ipad pro first gen lol

[empty wren]

I wonder if a company can get away with a name like "your mom"despite being tasteless I know

[pale sigil]

It's showing its age and its to big

[reef tundra]

" Walt, I don't know man, you've been seeming sus lately. sussy baka"

[pale sigil]

Great start

[crisp granite]

NOICE

[reef tundra]

Works to company ethos

[astral haven]

So the USB port on my kvm broke

[shadow minnow]

Lot more than just solid

[crisp granite]

yeah

it's clearly past both melting and evaporating

t'is vapours in the aire

[shadow minnow]

I would say it’s even a plasma deal

As plasma as 14nm+++++ CPUs

[fair gull]

so i did a lot of digging and checking in fresh vm installs and win10 has the exact same issue since years

[reef patrol]

No kidding? 🤔

[fair gull]

yes

had for years

the problem is that on win10 its less pronounced which i assume ties in with the explorer rework

which is why win11 overpronounces it

[reef tundra]

blame the user

[fair gull]

na should have honestly been fixed in 10imo

[cursive summit]

I've got no clue if it was shared or not

https://amp.hothardware.com/news/intel-12th-gen-alder-lake-processors-amazon-debut

[shadow minnow]

https://gizmodo.com/facebook-admits-apples-ios-privacy-updates-are-working-1847721868

Oh no, how unfortunate, poor advertisers, that apple is focusing this against. Apple should cancel their privacy updates

[reef patrol]

Meanwhile. Apple harvests user data file their own uses. I wonder why they need to know your heart rate and other medical information...

[neat oriole]

Because Apple wants to go into the health industry

It’s a big market

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, health industry should not really be a market. Health + so apple can measure blood oxygen, bpm or anything health when?

[young pecan]

Ngl I’m more than happy with my medical history known.

I don’t see why I should give a shit if people know my med history, that’s an irrelevant fear.

But if I collapse and need help? Damn right I want it known.

[shadow minnow]

When it comes to stuff like blood oxygen and bpm stuff, also don’t really mind it, especially if it goes to company that may develop more health detection stuff based on it, unless they start charging money for it. then I would not be so happy

[young pecan]

Agreed.

Healthcare should be free, it really should.

And if my med history works toward that goal and more accuracy? Pog.

[shadow minnow]

^

[shadow minnow]

True

[thick elk]

I don't think Healthcare should be always free, however it should be accessible to all.

for example to prevent over use of the system having some costs attached to it is good.

[shadow minnow]

I think it should just be free tbh. No matter what.

[young pecan]

Basic healthcare should be free, stuff like medicine that docs prescribe.

[shadow minnow]

Yeah

[young pecan]

What shouldn’t be free is wasting a doctors time.

[neat oriole]

Ultimately a personal health tracker is just going to be one part of the bigger health system

[shadow minnow]

There are people that can’t change that too.
But also, strange, dont remember seeing a single fat person in UK tbh, which is kinda strange

[reef tundra]

What if the government gives the needs of the people, and the private businesses try to compete with it. If they really had something to compete for :)

[neat oriole]

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-absolutely-fucking-not-gif-4496112

[shadow minnow]

Healthcare should just be free, minimally same way as in most EU countries.

[reef tundra]

What if you let the people themselves could just choose to do it government is just acting as the insurance paying the bill

[shadow minnow]

It is not. Look at all the countries that have it. It is not the case. And also to previous thing you said there are not as many fat people, if you think that’s the issue with it.
What’s wrong, the dark route is literally non feee healthcare, letting people die because of money.

[reef tundra]

We thought we were a first world nation, who cares about the amount. We give militairy companies blank contracts to do the wars at any cost

[neat oriole]

Whack

[shadow minnow]

Almost everyone who has already experienced free healthcare wants it. Maybe because it works. Pretty sure not everyone wanting it wants something expensive

There are cases even if it’s not directly where people can’t do something they normally would with healthcare they would want and then die cause of it

[reef tundra]

The problems with healthcare tends to be from insurance companies

[neat oriole]

American health care #1! So good they send sick people to Mexico to get cheaper treatment!

[reef tundra]

You see their profit incentive is to collect more and give out nothing

its what a company is expected to do.

[neat oriole]

Aww gee I wonder why Americans can’t afford to stay in school longer it’s only 60k a year

[reef tundra]

Like 1 years of medical school will matter when you are bleeding out and need a doctor :)

[shadow minnow]

America healthcare spending is indeed #1 st at spending. But apparently not quality. But yeah, insurance companies even not in US are just terrible

[neat oriole]

American health system is so fucked health tourism is a viable strategy

Who needs a functional healthcare system when your neighbours are better and cheaper

[reef tundra]

If you think communism is government serving the needs of its people then maybe it is

Good

[shadow minnow]

Uh coming from a before communist country can’t say it worked well last time.
Best way is imo still regulated capitalism, with higher taxis but free stuff like schools, healthcare and public transport

[neat oriole]

America is pretty specialized at sending people out for healthcare

[reef patrol]

And bullet removal!

[reef tundra]

You expect 99.99999% to be available in any hospital in expertise

[reef patrol]

Especially in the paediatric field.

[shadow minnow]

Wasn’t that many bullets here but still it was bad

[reef patrol]

My level of humor before caffeine.

[neat oriole]

This is America

Guns in my area

[shadow minnow]

Also how loss followed revolution and then when we were supposed to get actually not as bad as before communism with free speech… ussr invaded to help us (change mind of prime minister esentially )

Oh yeah, guns in USA, another topic

[reef tundra]

Criminals tend to break the law

controlling availability to only those proven to be responsible helps massively

[shadow minnow]

“It just works”
But then it does not

[reef tundra]

Tell you what, organised crime like to fill the need of supplied demand The profit margins are insane, violent but infinite money if you are the top one ;)

[reef tundra]

How did prohibition of alcohol work out?

[old marlin]

there are drugs that should not be legalized

like meth

american doctors are already throwing benzos, so even legalizing some drugs won't help

[vapid zodiac]

sometimes benzos are the only things that work

[reef tundra]

Isnt there a opium epidemic right now. Mostly supplied by legal suppliers.. if the people had the money or insurance..

[vapid zodiac]

just because there an epidemic doesnt mean those who need it should be denied it

[reef tundra]

Can we atleast prohibit companies from advertising to doctors or customers

[old marlin]

yes, when your medical and psychological education as well as morals of your society are shit

[vapid zodiac]

im still greatly amused by advertising meds

fucking muricans

[old marlin]

eh

there are medical ads in germany as well

but it is just stuff that you can get without prescription

[vapid zodiac]

well, not allowed here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

yeah non prescription can be

but no prescription stuff

[old marlin]

ye

doctor shouldn't get a benefit from choosing one medicament over another

[reef tundra]

Their job is to supply the medication. Not to give their opinions.

[old marlin]

benzos in general are medication though

that is like treating every wound with painkillers

and nothing else

[reef tundra]

Medical consensus in the EU is benzos to be unrecommended

[old marlin]

luckily

they are a shit treatment

with high addiction rate

but US medical system is fucked

all you need to get a medicament FDA approved is to provide 2 studies with significant benefit

and you can make as many studies as you want

and you can obv rig them as much as you want

[reef tundra]

Lobby to the government and you can practically get a law verbatim in

[old marlin]

more expensive

everyone with a degree can make those 2 studies

you can essentially get anything as an fda approoved medicament

for anything

[reef tundra]

Most innovation is publicly funded though universities companies just buy up the licence and sell it. Typically

[old marlin]

ye

university in zürich is atm passing a bs medicament for dementia

with the fda

so uhhh

have fun with that ig

won't be legal in most of europe

[reef tundra]

Ethics boards dont like it

Yes, and? Government still has the ability to tell what privately owned companies can do.

[old marlin]

actually

apparently loss of hearing earlier than usual

is apparently a cause for dementia

[reef tundra]

impacts to the head is linked to dementia development. Particularly impact sports athletes get it in their 50s? Even little ones add up

[timid chasm]

This looks so comfortable /s
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aidusgun/nextick-next-generation-joystick-3d-mouse

[reef tundra]

So whats the innovation?

[crimson wigeon]

It's a joystick, but actually a mouse

And hey it has macros, that's something Wooting keyboards don't have!!

[reef tundra]

You see, dont reinvent the wheel

[old marlin]

I mean

if they actually have some useful additions/innovations

that make any sense

there are enough dedicated descent controllers already

[crimson wigeon]

Probably no Linux support so into the bin it goes pepeg

[old marlin]

wat

what makes a "trackball 3D mouse" any more 3d than a reg one?

trackballs just use mouse sensors

it has ironsights

[crimson wigeon]

Oh didn't even notice kekw

[reef tundra]

reminds me of arcades of duck hunt

[crimson wigeon]

Very immersive experience for shooty games then

[old marlin]

dunno what this is for

dedicated lightgun ig?

[crimson wigeon]

Makes sense since they claim it's evolved from VR gun controllers or something

[old marlin]

yea you only need to look your arm in space to a set relative distance to your screen

and then it magically knows how long your arm is

and how big the screen is

[crimson wigeon]

Not shown: the long and painful calibration process

[old marlin]

it also only does gyro tracking

no tracking points of any kind

which uhhh

gl

without cameras etc

is hard af

u9nless they get giga expensive gyros

[crimson wigeon]

149 bucks surely they got the good shit ecks dee

[reef tundra]

I remember the local computer museum to have similar looking one. Yes the gun actually worked. pretty well considering the technique

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah lightguns AKA aim at a light and hit every single time

[old marlin]

lightguns don't do tracking

lightguns essentially just checked if whatever they were pointing at was bright or not

CRT goes black when you shoot

with the targets being white originally

completely different thing

ah also

the thing runs at 250hz

[crimson wigeon]

Nice

[cursive summit]

Uhh

Magnet censored due to legality concerns

But yeah that happened

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah, a juicy leak to be sure

[cursive summit]

Leaked: site source code, internal SDKs, and an unreleased Steam competitor, as well as payout info with twitch affiliates.

https://pastebin.com/LjmaPNam

This isn't illegal so yeah, this is compiled using the leaked material, ranking list of most earning streamers

Yeah that's.. a lot of cash...

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah see how much those poor struggling streamers made, note doesn't include sellout and donations and such

[cursive summit]

Surprising, to say the least

UPDATE: One anonymous company source told VGC that the leaked Twitch data is legitimate, including the source code.

Internally, Twitch is aware of the breach, the source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday.

[reef tundra]

Contractual obligation from Twitch iirc

[neat oriole]

I mean 1.4m is decent

[earnest jay]

Wasn't that Twitch PC client an attempt at a Steam like program?

[old marlin]

not really

it was just for games claimed via twitch

so not really steam like

since you couldn't buy anything in it

afaik

[crimson wigeon]

It also had Discord like community stuff

[latent mural]

the only people who installed the twitch client used it for curseforge

[fair gull]

send torrent

thanks

Hm should I get it or not

[fair gull]

i wanna get it for my archive

[reef tundra]

Hashed and Salted ofcourse... unless 😳

[pale sigil]

For some bizare reason

Windows 11 sees my TV as dvi

[reef tundra]

Dont question the madness.

[pale sigil]

I had too

Because it wouldn't let me set to 4k xD

Had to replug

[reef tundra]

How brave to remove those features hmmm

[crimson wigeon]

HDMI is after all just a souped up DVI

[reef patrol]

With sound :3

[umbral knot]

my dad did this to me once, never again

[reef tundra]

😎 The lesson worked then, just like the dad is going to learn how distrust worked

[thick elk]

Even if they are not, part of the userbase uses passwords that are bad enough to be brute force.
Especially when it comes to admins or major streamers

[ashen spindle]

but a bad pssword that you can bruteforce doesnt suddenly get easier to crack just because the hash got leaked?

[thick elk]

With the entire leak, brute forcing is a lot easier than having to deal with protections on a live website.

[ashen spindle]

I guess? but that still doesn't really change that a bad password was bad already and a good one doesnt need changing if it's just a salted hash to got out

[thick elk]

Still having everyone change passwords as a general advice / policy after such a hack really is not a bad thing.
Even if it doesn't apply to everyone.

[ashen spindle]

that I agree on, but lets say im at work, I'd be much happier knowing if I need to change it directly or if I can do it after work at home if it's not actually leaked

[reef tundra]

Even better to do it daily and noone is going to deal with that

[ashen spindle]

it's just a lack of uh, thoroughness I guess describes it best? that I'm always disappointed with

[reef tundra]

It is quite worrying to gather that much information in one go

[ashen spindle]

yeah but I never see either a follow up or a quick look what seems likely

[wheat plume]

🤤

[umbral knot]

:nut:

damnit

this emote doesn't work on mobile for some reason

only in reactions

[reef tundra]

Hmm, thinking about it. might be beneficial in pr to just claim it all to be fine and everything to be normal. 👀 Especially if any of the high executives are the guilty ones 😳 the shareholders will lose quite some trust then.

[misty saffron]

facebook outage? better change passwords

[pale sigil]

Ohh you just reminded me for some reason

Bf beta today

[umbral knot]

yeah but I've heard the servers are fucked

will probably resolve itselff

[crisp granite]

[plush summit]

@crimson wigeon you gonna peek at it?

i am

i want to see this garbag

[crimson wigeon]

[plush summit]

twitch is a shitty platform that is full of incels for mods

[crimson wigeon]

Eh so far I only looked to see the truth about the golden kappa

[plush summit]

i wanna see how much they partnered a big titty girl compaired to a guy

[ashen spindle]

you can get those from public apis by just looking at partner status xDD

no need to look at illegal files for that petty stuff

[thick elk]

you can however see how much twitch paid them in 2019 from the leak

[reef tundra]

😎 what they hiding in the illegal file hmmm

[crimson wigeon]

The source code, time to use it to spin up twutch

[ashen spindle]

which is based on what the viewers do and not twitch, you're not gonna find that a hot tub stream gets suddenly randomly more money from twitch xD

[crimson wigeon]

I think more interesting would be whether they do indeed ban "fairly" or are more lenient towards certain streamers

[reef tundra]

celebrities tend to have a lot of money

[crimson wigeon]

But I'm not sure that is included in this leak..

[plush summit]

they do not ban farely

at all

and i bet they dont pay fairly either

[reef tundra]

Having a contract with twitch is going to change who can moderate it in the first place. They dont have a financial interest to ban streamers other than pr

[ashen spindle]

if they dont pay fairly they would be in violation for contract breaches so that seems extremely unlikely

[reef tundra]

then again, minimal sentance will be preferable

[plush summit]

they litterally have soft core nudity in their platform featuring girls......but if a guy takes of their shirt its an instaban

[reef tundra]

Faster to back streaming to get the watch time

[ashen spindle]

and that relates to fairly paying in what way exactly

[plush summit]

im fairly certain that twitch pays some people more because of their look to keep them on the platform to get their rocks off

[reef tundra]

🤷 The only metric is just how much ad revenue they made off you

[ashen spindle]

so you think some people got a boner and thats enough for them to violate contracts and pay out of twitchs pocket, hacking into the automated payment system so that can happen?

I mean...

not impossible but how likely is that

and if it's a contract to keep them on the platform so they cant legally join facebook or so, that's not unfair that's a normal business decision

[reef tundra]

Any moderation involving a partner has to clear their legal first. Instead of tos and some underpaid employee's discression

Contracts do have the demand that both parties are compromising something of equal value🤷

[shadow minnow]

Luckily my twitch password is some 15 character phone generated one and not some old passwords used possibly in more places
So many passwords in data leaks too. Luckily non of ones I actually care about.

[glad scroll]

The hacker was really precise in the way that he released the information, he wanted only to damage the platform, but not the users.

I think password hashes was included, but not payment details for the streamers that make money off twitch

more on the Twitch leak / hack. It appears the leaker has taken some time to ensure personal account information is not in this leak, and has focused on tools, SDKs, and code that affects Twitch itself. A source familiar with Twitch's tools confirms https://t.co/wgI7wOYYxY

[shadow minnow]

20 character generated password is too easy to guess, twitch thinks, so can’t change it yet. Nice

[shadow minnow]

True

[reef tundra]

Atleast we know about the damage it has caused, 😳

hm looks like the noctua asus card does well but is also just a design they already had with a plastic shroud that adds two noctua fans

well if the price is right it's good, otherwise it wont be

You know the price won't be right xD
