they've been making keyboards since 2016

its just ive been scammed on a keyboard before

[crisp granite]

they have scammed exactly 0 people

yeah

i want one for christmas

[young pecan]

Should do.

Works like a normal wallet.

[ashen spindle]

doesnt that seem like a massive security issue since you could breach it and perfectly track where they are moving

[young pecan]

But Quin.

It's M I L I T A R Y G R A D E, nothing could go wrong.

american military grade

[young pecan]

Fuck ikr.

[ashen spindle]

bruh I'm not talking about tracking on the crypto wallet lol

[young pecan]

Mm.

In that case no, not a huge issue.

Mine to wallet, swap over, then send into XMR.

From there you have no way to trace it.

[ashen spindle]

no you got it wrong I typed to fast and swept over the not

[crisp granite]

I want one, but how is it significant to the rest of us?

[ashen spindle]

yeah but I would assume people who carry that thing around might not really be allowed to carry phones?

never been to the military so idk but that seems like one of those occasions

[young pecan]

It doesn't matter whatsoever.

It implies you're important enough to track.

[crisp granite]

LOL

I ain't

[shadow minnow]

Pretty sure someone carrying a smart watch or phone once caused some issues and possibly position reveal in data leak

[ashen spindle]

well yeah thats known

[shadow minnow]

Also phones are good, you may find enemy posting Snapchat sorry from their location and find them based on that

[ashen spindle]

aka they found a secret base due to fitbit data from soldiers running laps around it

[young pecan]

Kinda doesn’t actually matter, though.

NFTs intrinsically let you verify them.

All we’d need is an official centralised NFT commission and it’s basically a done deal.

[true quest]

tfw no more "feel free to screenshot"

[young pecan]

shrugs A screenshot of an NFT has the same value a photo of the Mona Lisa has.

[empty wren]

Ew

[young pecan]

That is to say nothing because you can verify the origin.

[crisp granite]

I'm gonna make an NFT of my dick pic

brb

[empty wren]

I am guess that is bait though

[young pecan]

Now there’s an NFT to sell.

Doge_Bot onlyfans when?

[crisp granite]

when I get to it

for now

[empty wren]

[young pecan]

Wooting OnlyFans when.

[crisp granite]

my job and my parent's savings for said purpose do that already

[true quest]

imagine having caring parents

[young pecan]

Kinda depressing how fucking stupid people are with NFTs.

[crisp granite]

of course...if I wanted to become a money whore, onlyfans is where I would start

[young pecan]

They see NFT and go “fUnNy pIcTuRE gO bRrRRrRRrRr”, none of the other stuff ah NFT can be used for.

[empty wren]

Only fans nft👀

[crisp granite]

could tie an NFT to something physical

like one of my pubes

only have 1500 pubes circulating

[empty wren]

Might sell if you look like chad

[crisp granite]

lo and behold, my pubes have a blockchain and value

so

[young pecan]

Could tie an NFT to literally anything. It’s usable as a centralised form of digital verification.

[crisp granite]

who wants one of my pubes?

only 2 ether

[young pecan]

The classic example is tying a house to an NFT and having a deed for it be both physical and digital.

[crisp granite]

actually

that's quite smart

kinda

[young pecan]

Yep.

Also means you can trade anything to any place.

Plus no more ‘it takes 7 months to buy a house and transfer all the documentation’.

An NFT can house all of that metadata.

[crisp granite]

I might end up doing that with my shit in the future

but always have it in cold storage

[ashen spindle]

so can existing tech and it isn't working because people are dumb

[young pecan]

Have the related documentation signed in the NFT with physical copies for insurance. Easy method of working shit.

[crisp granite]

so people are retarded

[ashen spindle]

no need to make use of a tech that has tons of extra shit attached to it

[young pecan]

Depressingly accurate.

[crisp granite]

big woop

you aren't

so take advantage of that

[ashen spindle]

nft is a big example of "this shit it supposedly does already exists but people are dumb so we can take advantage of it and scam you"

[crisp granite]

it's a doge eat doge world

[young pecan]

Intel: confused screaming

[cursive summit]

WHERE THE LITTLE CORES THOUGH?

AMD: Haha stuff all the big cores in

[young pecan]

Power cores go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[cursive summit]

AMD: CoreDirector

Cause fuck threads when you can have cores

[shadow minnow]

How much throttle when on battery?

[ashen spindle]

uhh you do realize that's not something based on hardware?

[shadow minnow]

Yeah it has more variables. But if it’s actually 5nm it may not be bad actually

[ashen spindle]

not it doesnt have more variables it's purely based on the bios/os settings

[shadow minnow]

I mean, power consumption and this heat production does affect the boundaries of what you can set/achieve with it. Also batteries, and how good can they handle big power draw, since otherwise their maximum capacity may quite rapidly decrease

[ashen spindle]

bruh this is about a chip not a laptop, the chip itself has absolutely nothing to do with a laptops battery settings

if you take a 10W part you probably wont see any change, if you put a 120W chip on battery most laptops should probably keep an eye on that yes

[shadow minnow]

Still does. If your battery has max output 100w, you have to throttle harder for chip that consumes 200w compared to one that 120s.
But yeah, it’s 5nm so may not be much and may not matter. But imagine intel 16 core 14nm in a laptop, there it would

[ashen spindle]

no still doesn't say anything because if you lock a 16 core 14nm chip at 15W it wont be throttled on battery either

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, it doesn’t say everything but still it is not ignorable. Since if you want to lock it as high as battery allows you, your intel 16 core may end up at 1200mhz, while 8 core 5nm chip at 3800mhz.

[old marlin]

Output of your battery is not dependant on the cpu

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, that’s not what I am saying

What I am saying is that frequency of cpu with more cores may have to be decreased further to achieve same power consumption

[old marlin]

Or it just lowers half of the cores etc

[reef patrol]

[old marlin]

There is a billion ways to implement it

[shadow minnow]

Yeah that also. But it has “higher impact on the throttled cores” to achieve same consumption.
Also depending on how much do you have to limit it, you may have to have no other choice than throttle all cores, even if some of them less

Well unless you disable the other cores

[halcyon moss]

New amd chips for workstation might be worth upgrading my laptop for

I hope the APU is competent though. I dont expect a game laptop though

[ashen spindle]

zen4 aint coming before q4 2022 so you got some time

[halcyon moss]

thats probably around the time i'm shopping for something new

it would be 3.5 years old then.

Many computers come with a keyboard

I used my Acer one for a long time til the escape key plastic broke

Wooting could do installment plans to lower the barrier I guess

But it would bring its own problems

Yeah but $200 for a keyboard

Is not what a lot of people would agree with

Motorcycle drivers are at a high risk anyways on the road

Also there is big value difference there too

In a summer you could buy a motorcyle

At that price

Yeah less interest 🤣

In a way that is a good thing though

windows 11 is out so less people work on windows 10 I guess lol, same for the older windows versions, idk but I think they are probs outdated

Honestly time for me to upgrade soon

Has been 5-6 years since I got my prebuilt

[ashen spindle]

Pretty sure win8 was shorter or the same timeframe

[empty wren]

Yeah windows 8.1 kinda chopped it

A small but nice upgrade but also sorta backwards, virus could mess up windows 8 color scheme

[wheat plume]

The AMD processor of the (Steam) Deck is 3 times faster than what the (Nintendo) Switch offers

Wait

whut

[reef patrol]

The Switch is pretty low powered. That's not a surprise.

[wheat plume]

yeah no shit

but this seems to hint that the Deck is too

and since it doesnt change power profile when docked, like Switch, hmm

they should add that feature, run it with less power while on battery

[crimson wigeon]

It's a proper PC just overclock it yourself

[wheat plume]

Can you automatically underclock when on battery power?

I wonder how many devs are being forced to not support the Deck because of Microsoft wanting them to build for xbox and windows instead

or by Sony to build only for Playstation

[true quest]

didn't sony recently announce their pc division

[wheat plume]

this is a good point...

[ashen spindle]

0

[pale sigil]

Not a good point it's an obvious point

It's handheld

Not meant to be a Dock experience

[ashen spindle]

we literally know the specs so you can do math on how things perform +-2% maybe from custom OS

[pale sigil]

The Dock is literally just a video cable etc

The switch gets better perf purely due to more power delivery

[wheat plume]

AFAIK
Switch in docked mode just ignored the battery and runs directly from the USB C power

[pale sigil]

No

[wheat plume]

oh

[pale sigil]

I mean yes

But

[wheat plume]

oh?

oh..

[pale sigil]

It performs better because it can draw more power

[reef patrol]

Just like a smartphone. It isn't actively using the battery while charging or plugged in.

[pale sigil]

The Dock doesn't magically provide better perf :p

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

just more power supply

[halcyon moss]

yeah.. no need to last as long as possible on battery

[reef tundra]

Batteries suck

because we got exactly 0 context for this

[wheat plume]

We are given this SQL file to use in our project for AD class

its to populate the database with info

we have another script to make the database and tables

[ashen spindle]

makes perfect sense to me

[wheat plume]

Why the new versions of PostGres not support Linux?!

I guess they moved it to the standard repos?

aha! fair enough

Neo4J requires you to give personal info to download it ;-;

[ashen spindle]

doubt

[ashen spindle]

if it asks for data and you can just write gibberish and it works, that doesn't really count as "requirement"

[wheat plume]

oh

It seems Neo4J hosts it's databases on the network and not localhost, cause I can see my friend's database for his project too and he uses the same wifi network as me....

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume that's how they usually work

[reef tundra]

pacman will know

[wheat plume]

hmmm

[pale sigil]

The only way to stop it being accessed locally is stopping your computer being shared between the network

[reef tundra]

URLs address that any issue

[wheat plume]

Do I need the psqlodbc drivers?

[reef tundra]

use a firewall? to block unwanted traffic? i guess

When in doubt, pull the cable.

[reef patrol]

But Avanna... localhost just means "your own IP".

It doesn't mean "cannot be accessed from elsewhere"

[pale sigil]

And also the database uses the same port for all machines

[reef tundra]

ip and portnumber make the tcp udp go brr internet is magic, just like the magic of the hub.

[wheat plume]

Apparently Neo4J makes this movie database everytime you make a new project as a sample database

how tf I use PostGres? .-.

[ashen spindle]

uhh you clearly did not watch the video

[wheat plume]

You can make any desktop similar to mac xd Especially Plasma desktop

[ashen spindle]

certainly looks like CLI and not pop shop to me

[wheat plume]

oh

whoever managed the pop repo did a goof

[ashen spindle]

yup and that's why Linus is now not using pop os anymore

[wheat plume]

he go back to windows?

@latent mural My plasma destop setup xd

[ashen spindle]

comment section is full with the tears of linux neckbeards 10/10 recommend reading comments to make fun of people

[wheat plume]

LOL

Its Youtube website in an isolated sandbox

it uses Chrome to render the website

I used Chrome, because it works well with media keys

to skip and go back and whatnot

[latent mural]

what distro are you on

[wheat plume]

Arch

See. its got its own window

ignore the video being fullscreen, thats just a browser extension xd

[chrome estuary]

i could probably get behind that

[ashen spindle]

just go win11 and use WSL

pretty sure the l3 cache thing has been fixed for quite some time already

[ashen spindle]

like within days of it being known

[wheat plume]

I used this to make the youtube sandbox

Its Ice, a project from PepperMintOS

[crisp granite]

pog

[wheat plume]

I think Linux Mint recently made their own app that does the same thing

[crisp granite]

bell finally got off their asses and fixed my equipment issues with the fibre

also drilled another hole in my wall

[wheat plume]

oh, idc much :D

[crisp granite]

550 mbps down and up

[wheat plume]

whatever one you wanna

[ashen spindle]

they are just getting ready to make sure to give you a taste of a good connection before they break it again

[crisp granite]

...

it is Bell after all

[latent mural]

why not just use chrome/chromium

[ashen spindle]

it's just how any ISP works sadly

[wheat plume]

Xdd

Not normal person

Yes
Seem is the keyword zd

[crisp granite]

coming from you, Tanuki

that sounds like a load of shit

and I believe it 100%

anyway...so...have I ousted Cal yet?

it's a song

pretty good one at that

unless Lana is thinking about something else

I am all-powerful

SILENCE, WHITE-NAME!

everyone loves the cookies, I personally can't stand oreo ice cream

[timid chasm]

Have to be in the mood for mint ice cream... so... never? 😛

[crisp granite]

exactly

but I'm always in the mood for cherry ice cream

[wheat plume]

Cherry

Never seen cherry ice never

[crisp granite]

you're missing out

[timid chasm]

I have some dark cherry in the freezer right now. So good.

[wheat plume]

Ooo

[wheat plume]

Putting together a guitar pedal diy kit with my friend

Lots and lots of capacitors

It's hard to tell them apart...lots of Google image searching

Soldering is frustrating

We need to do the switches and led next

And wiring

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume what for?

[wheat plume]

^^

Die Rat V2 xd

I hope we did this right

Cause fucking soldering is fucking akward

Why are the potentiometers sticky?!

[crisp granite]

Lana...

[wheat plume]

Wut

[crisp granite]

we both know why they're sticky

[wheat plume]

Whoever made the kit enjoys pedals too much it seems

[crisp granite]

I like clicking bombs in minesweeper

kaboom

[wheat plume]

One board done
Just wiring to it left

[crisp granite]

or desk

if it were the floor, I'd see Lana's feet too

[wheat plume]

This is table

Coffee table
Quite low to ground

[wheat plume]

Feet gross
No like

[vagrant elk]

I already saw that but it looks interesting! Unfortunately it's going to take 2 years according to the Pine64 team to get mainline Linux support. Yes, I am alive.

[reef tundra]

easiest win 😎

[reef tundra]

Solder getting scarce?

[wheat plume]

It's on the other side

[empty wren]

It should have letters and numbers

[wheat plume]

MANJARO....... OH FUCK NO https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/11/valve-adds-documentation-for-steam-deck-development-suggests-manjaro-linux-for-now

[ashen spindle]

bruh it's just something so it runs, it's for playing games not making yout custom desktop setup on it

[wheat plume]

Manjaro has the most broken updates though

[ashen spindle]

who cares

it's gonna be a steam version that gives you the update not w/e the original distro is

[wheat plume]

They hold back packages up to two weeks but dont hold core system packages, so things get misaliged and break :/ Unless Valve want to add dealing with THAT onto the already heavy task of getting Proton to a state where it can play all games, then go ahead I guess

[ashen spindle]

I would be surprised if after the first few bug fixes the os gets as much as a monthly update

[wheat plume]

yeah, idk how Valve are going to handle updates

[pale sigil]

LANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ashen spindle]

probably just making them when needed bc its a fucking gaming handheld not a setup to develop things on

[wheat plume]

CLLAAAAIIIIIIREEEEEEEE

[pale sigil]

ITS A HANDHELD

[wheat plume]

I KNOWW

[pale sigil]

They wont stick with Manjaro

They will prob have access to the newest drivers/steam

[wheat plume]

Maybe it will take the KDE Neon approach
Keep the base mostly stable and only update Steam and Proton and related drivers on a regular basis

Regardless, it's great they are using Linux for this

[pale sigil]

nah itll use steamos

[wheat plume]

Making a dedicated gaming console-like UI/UX will be easier on Linux

[ashen spindle]

not really

barely makes any difference

[wheat plume]

Alienware already did that on their Alphas actuallyt

[ashen spindle]

xbox is literally running windows and it's a console ui on it

[wheat plume]

is NT, not full on desktop windows though?

[ashen spindle]

idk but why would that matter either way

[pale sigil]

it is full windows backend

front end it isn't

atm it still runs Windows 10 @wheat plume

[ashen spindle]

like it makes sense for them to use linux but UI is not one of the reasons lol

[pale sigil]

I think Playstation used to run on Linux

[wheat plume]

bsd

[pale sigil]

but then they moved to FreeBSD

[wheat plume]

o

[pale sigil]

not 100% sure but you used to be able to run Linux native

[crimson wigeon]

That was just for "hey look it's a real computer too!" points

Immediately thrown into the bin when people figured out how to bypass some restrictions..

[ashen spindle]

For all I care they could throw a dice and change what it’s based on every week and it wouldn’t really matter to people aside from the valve devs

Manjaro to start, maybe Debian next?

[pale sigil]

I mean

With that logic why say Manjaro

Say Arch

[ashen spindle]

Idk what Manjaro even is

That’s why I said it

Bc it really does t matter

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah it's just a suggestion for what to test games on

[pale sigil]

it kinda does matter

ish

Arch is VERY different to Debian

[ashen spindle]

Even if it were to run on it, not like devs are the ones who have to make it run on that 99%of the time

[pale sigil]

in terms of Steam Deck it doesn't matter much, at least dev wise

[ashen spindle]

For consumers and game devs it doesn’t really matter

[pale sigil]

Consumer wise it matters a lot

Manj is pretty bad for gaming

[ashen spindle]

You open steam and select the game

Doesn’t matter what the thing is running on

[pale sigil]

Ye no

Not as simple ast that

LMFAO

Linux is a shit show with drivers etc and Manjoro is one of the worst in that way

it require a fuck ton of configuring

[ashen spindle]

Yes because the friction points are supposed to be taken care of by the steam os layer

[wheat plume]

and in some games, you select the game, launch it, it starts another launcher that wont be able to handle using controller to navigate like the Skyrim launcher or warframe launcher

[pale sigil]

SteamOS yes, but im just saying there is a difference :p

[ashen spindle]

It literally is one set of never changing hardware in that regard

[pale sigil]

for dev it wont matter but for consumer it would

but it will run SteamOS

so itll be fine

i still dont expect it to be smooth though

nothing is easy with Linux in gaming

[ashen spindle]

Yes but we are talking about on the deck what the steamOS is based on not the raw OS on a pc

[pale sigil]

Nothing

Well ye Arch isnt bad

[ashen spindle]

If there are issues it’s steamOS‘s fault and not w/e is layers below that

[wheat plume]

Manjaro fucks up the kernel build, making it slower for gaming than some other distros

[pale sigil]

Linux fucks everything up

😄 😄

[wheat plume]

nu

[pale sigil]

i mean ye i didnt give it a huge try, still running it now but um

My games just felt off

with um

i forgot its name

Proton

[ashen spindle]

linux is shit and has a lot of issues in many ways yes

but that doesnt really matter in this context

idc what manjaro is or how it's driver issues are handled or not

if steamos is based on it then it's steamos' job to take care of that

and as the end user it really doesnt matter if the stamdeck is using steamOs based on ubuntu or steamos based on arch

[pale sigil]

if it wasn't for the issue i have atm id be using linux tho

SteamOS is not based on Manjoro

[crimson wigeon]

SteamOS 3 is probably a rather custom Arch tho since they've said things like immutable root which I don't know if any Arch derivative does

[pale sigil]

They are both based on Arch

[wheat plume]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo IMMUTABLE WOULD BE SO HYPE

I know Fedora Kionite does it, and I really like that concept

[ashen spindle]

yes, as I said, not the point what manjaro is or isn't, point is if it's based on something that has issues, it's steamOs' job to wait with updates if they are wonky for example

if you have a lot of interaction with the os in general as a consumer of the deck you're kinda using it wrong anyway imo

[crimson wigeon]

Manjaro is pretty scuffed yes but for quickly testing whether your game works or not it should be good enough

[pale sigil]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE https://mrpl.me/ia5090b_rfK8.mp4

[wheat plume]

yeah, they want it to be like a console

you boot up and play

no desktop, no anything else

[ashen spindle]

might as well just get a PI and put things on it if you want portable non gaming toy

[pale sigil]

Well ye steam big screen auto boots

[wheat plume]

Pi aint portable, unless you build it into a case with a screen, battery pack and carry a small keyboard and mouse around

unless, you have a keyboard, mouse, monitor and cables and literally only need to vcarry the Pi

[pale sigil]

i wish steamdeck tech was around in uni

xD

would have made my life so much easier

[wheat plume]

:P

I know I suck at FPS games using controller

I thought id get better on Switch but nope

idk if its cause of FPS games feeling laggy and idk if its cause my joystick speed is too slow or because its actually laggy

in A Hat In Time or Mario Odyssey, it seems also too slow but too fast at the same time

those are third person platformers though

[wheat plume]

I switched to Pipewire completely on my desktop now, and audio quality is a lot more detailed :D

bye bye pulseaudio!

The new Fedora release uses WirePlumber, which improves PipeWire even more..... Bet that distro sounds incredible

ew

MLP xd

I guess!

Nuuuuuuuu

False

Nuh uh

I look like a freaking axe murderer

I cut too much toenail off and now it's bleeding ;_; and idk how to stop it

Cause I need to go sleep cause it's 3am

And I can't if my toe will bleed all over the blankets

[timid chasm]

ice or something cold

should constrict and stop some bleeding. Or lots of pressure

orrrr just wash cloth it with tape and go to bed

[wheat plume]

From under the nail cause I cut too far back :/

Ooooooo

This is great !!

Pipewire
Immutable

SteamOS running on Fedora?!

Oooo
This will explain how they plan to handle updating the system

It's immutable
Just update using a snapshot and it's applied on next boot

[reef tundra]

arch is pacman

[wheat plume]

Yes yes

But they can easily have a pacman hook to automatically reboot to before the update if something goes wrong

That's pretty nice

[reef tundra]

Thats standard

[wheat plume]

Not really

Arch can't do that

You reboot and something goes wrong
You need to sort it out yourself

No snapshot to go back to automatically unless you setup timeshift

[reef tundra]

https://archlinux.org/pacman/alpm-hooks.5.html

[wheat plume]

Yes
Pacman hooks are standard

[empty wren]

Imagine

[wheat plume]

But I've not seen one used for that purpose

[reef tundra]

This is what herasy does to a mind

[empty wren]

Then silence the prophets

[wheat plume]

ArcoLinux use hooks to apply updates of their apps to etc/skel instead of your home folder

[reef tundra]

Inquisitor, has been dispatched.

[empty wren]

Why even use Linux Lana

[wheat plume]

I like it

[empty wren]

Alrighr then

[wheat plume]

Using windows just pisses me off sometimes

[empty wren]

But windows works

[reef tundra]

Because windows bad

[empty wren]

Almost every time

[reef tundra]

use linux

its good

[wheat plume]

Not all the time

[empty wren]

But people should not be using admin

[wheat plume]

I've had wifi problems in windows numerous times

[reef tundra]

Be the root user, always

[wheat plume]

Ew lol

Xd no

[reef tundra]

what can go wrong

[wheat plume]

Ikr

[reef tundra]

dont do anything bad

:)

os worked to spec

[wheat plume]

"don't do anything stupid"

• Capt Price

[empty wren]

Guessing not Intel drivers

[wheat plume]

I have an Intel wifi card

[empty wren]

Weird

[wheat plume]

It doesn't connect sometimes
And just disconnected randomly

And sometimes says connected but I get no connection

[empty wren]

My system despite not being Intel WiFi chipset

Works with Intel drivers

[wheat plume]

O.o

[empty wren]

Hmm

[reef tundra]

I have cable

[wheat plume]

I don't cause I don't have an Ethernet cable long enough to reach from downstairs

[empty wren]

It is fine probably some kind of compabiloty built into it

[reef tundra]

😡 you dont?

why not?

[empty wren]

Like making a new windows system

[wheat plume]

Enabling "Connect Automatically" in the wifi doesn't work either

[empty wren]

Do you move your computer?

[wheat plume]

No

[empty wren]

Weird then

[reef tundra]

GUIs are a luxary dont expect it, thats how vendors lock you in

[wheat plume]

Well
At holidays
Yes
Cause I go home for those

December and summer

[empty wren]

I mean I rather use a graphical interface way more manners to do something

[empty wren]

Try playing a game in MS DOs

[wheat plume]

Those exist

[empty wren]

Well still weird

[wheat plume]

Doom lol

[wheat plume]

Huh?

[reef tundra]

just got to find in which settings they put the specific setting you neeed

[empty wren]

You have two networks

[reef tundra]

menus in menus is haram

[empty wren]

That it goes between

Not much at all for confusion

Since one exist there and other there

[reef tundra]

UI goes to shit if the menu can go into menus. 😳

[wheat plume]

Why would connecting to more than one network cause these issues?

[reef tundra]

😡 where is my clicky button

[wheat plume]

90% I'm only connecting to one of them

[empty wren]

Anyways weird I guess given a lot is internet based I can see why it is big tunroff

[wheat plume]

Until I go home at Christmas and summer

Then my phone hotspot

[empty wren]

I mean you only have two in the history

And they never are together

[reef tundra]

Draven fortress

[empty wren]

So they should not be fighting for permission to be up on the hierarchy

[wheat plume]

I don't even have my phone connected to this install of windows yet

So it only knows one network

[empty wren]

Oh

It is your phone that is the network

[wheat plume]

It sees another 2 networks but they aren't ours
They are the neighbors ones

[empty wren]

Guessing your phone might be disconnecting you then

[reef tundra]

Someone is is sneaking packets

[empty wren]

And Linux handles it better

[wheat plume]

No
I only use my phone network for at home

Not here

Hence why it's not connected to this install of windows yet

[empty wren]

But that is where you get connection issues right?

[wheat plume]

Huh? No

It's on this network

[reef tundra]

Rate limit?

[wheat plume]

This is fiber connection

At least to the router

Wifi to my computer

[reef tundra]

ips provides what?

[wheat plume]

Idk what rate we are meant to get

My steam downloads are usually around 18mb/s though

Or whatever speed units steam uses by default

[reef tundra]

Could be some fuckery where they badly implemented data limiting, cutting you off instead of limiting or something

[wheat plume]

It's not the network

The issues don't happen on Linux

[timid chasm]

Interesting https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/5578887700/us

[wheat plume]

I reboot to Linux and it'd all good

[reef tundra]

Because linux good

[timid chasm]

Wraith Prism Thermal Solution, eh

[wheat plume]

Auto connect to my network on the login screen

Windows can't do that
Got to connect once at desktop

[empty wren]

Oh

[reef tundra]

Windows just offers deleting the driver and reinstalling the thing

[empty wren]

Tell your network to stopping such a scardycat of windows

[wheat plume]

Xd

Must devices connected to it are Linux lol

Technically

[crisp granite]

[reef tundra]

unix

[crisp granite]

FYMRIN!!

[timid chasm]

The network has become sentient and formed a bias 😮

[reef tundra]

Good opinion

[timid chasm]

oh no opinion

the network IS sentient and has a bias

it's fact 😛

Linux desktop instalk my friend is using to try various things out on Linux

[timid chasm]

private discussions with it

[wheat plume]

So yeah
That's got 4 hostnames on the network to itself

[reef tundra]

Mine is a glorified calculator doing vim

[wheat plume]

Lol

[timid chasm]

Mine has... seen terrible things through the webcam because I forget to keep pointing it up

[wheat plume]

Uh

[reef tundra]

I have my webcam disabled in bios

[wheat plume]

I don't plug mine in!

[timid chasm]

Well sometimes I want the FBI agents/hackers to get a sneak peak

I'm a pal like that

[wheat plume]

It's in my drawer xd

[reef tundra]

BIOS will never tell

[wheat plume]

Xd

Physical disconnection will never tell

[reef tundra]

OS should stop asking questions, bios thinks

[wheat plume]

I do the same for my mic
Cause its detached from mu headphones

The OS is still aware that my headphones have mic input but it can't hear anything obviously

[reef tundra]

have your mic spam rick roll 24/7

100%

[wheat plume]

:')

[empty wren]

You need to give it a hearing aid

[reef tundra]

[wheat plume]

Nah
Play wellerman

[reef tundra]

you just never unmute it

your 'microphone'

[wheat plume]

Xd

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-pilled-gif-19289988

[wheat plume]

This is why I like headsets
Usually the mic is detachable

So you can just disconnect it

[reef tundra]

if you drive your fbi agent insane they cant do their job

[wheat plume]

Yes xd

Still getting paid so they can't be too pissed

[reef tundra]

Art of War

[wheat plume]

How much are fbi staff paid
......

I'm curious now

[timid chasm]

about tree fiddy

[reef tundra]

not enough

[empty wren]

A lot

[reef tundra]

shut it cia director

[empty wren]

It is a high power government job

[reef tundra]

its a superpolice when local police just sucks

[empty wren]

$73k on average

[wheat plume]

Yes
But Microsoft pay low level staff barely minimum wage last time I saw things about that

So it don't matter how large the business is

[reef tundra]

Join the fbi and investigate the fbi as your first job

[empty wren]

Yes

[crisp granite]

micropeen can't be assed to pay their lower workers a liveable wage

poggers

[empty wren]

Watch fbi watching fbi watching fbi watching fbi watching Pincus steal batteries

[reef tundra]

Microsoft would incinerate them if they could

[crisp granite]

I feel like Pinch is straight up under my car rn stealing my catalytic converter

gonna go check for my sanity

[wheat plume]

:')

[empty wren]

Rest assured they are already gone

[empty wren]

To be fair job depends

[crisp granite]

yep

[empty wren]

I got payed minimum wage at the pool

[crisp granite]

at least the catalytic converter is still there as well

[young pecan]

Mate, c'mon.

[empty wren]

Did not care

[young pecan]

If the workers have minimum wage it means they can decide to leave.

[reef tundra]

https://youtu.be/p-FXim7LUz0

[empty wren]

Microsoft does not see much value in them

Simple and point

[young pecan]

If you don't pay them enough to do anything extra then you just have yourself an indentured servant.

[crisp granite]

I get paid minimum to clean up a meat cutting area and stock meat that comes in pallets, and OCCASIONALLY actually do some butchering

[empty wren]

But it could.be supplemented

With benefits I guess

[crisp granite]

breaks make up half of my shifts

and my bosses couldn't care less

[young pecan]

I get paid above minimum wage to do nothing.

[crisp granite]

work gets done

[young pecan]

Life is pog.

[crisp granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[empty wren]

What is your occupation?

[young pecan]

I run a business. :p
