Most of forsaken is never played and the most important shit is staying
Only tangled shore is being removed
i agree with you
but its useless content
so is shadowkeep lets be honest
crisp granite
well, for you maybe
pale sigil
im not saying they should do it
crimson wigeon
Well I'm looking forward to the removal because it means they'll make the campaign free for a bit how generous! Finally a reason to reinstall that game..
pale sigil
im still annoyed about the last vaulting
crisp granite
for me, someone who hasn't played D2 and would likely be lost without it, as well as those who actually paid for it, it would suck
pale sigil
You wouldn't be lost
Literally anything you obtain is useless
Outside of raid and dungeon
literally useless

shadow minnow
you removed a bunch of features
Maybe… but I have improved AI, and, it’s optimized also for new channel

New players will totally get forsaken
and completely understand any of it

when nothing else exists before it rn
reef tundra
Lore should be ignorable from the gameplay
pale sigil
but yes
im anti vaulting
it sucks
really does
but at the same time its conent you have to pay for which is useless, its now going to just be a much cheaper package for the raid/dungeon etc

If only 5G was not a joke, drains a lot more battery for not much more speed

Yes that sounds like a big step up but walk behind a tree and signal is gone
ashen spindle
coverage isn't really related to the tech itself and if you dont have mm coverage and just get 4g you're not having higher drain
I mean what is it you are doing that makes use of higher bandwith while walking around a tree?
empty wren
I mean what is it you are doing that makes use of higher bandwith while walking ...
No I am just saying the signal can easily be blocked only because there is few places it exists and then it does not account for obstructions: they need to build out a lot more.
5G home probably is gonna be the only proper mm wave signal for a while.
empty wren
Yeah I do not get that either

Ughhh.... got a new app that ignores Android volume settings.
So much for having control of your settings and all that. Thanks Googol
halcyon moss
how does it even do that?
reef patrol
I... I don't know.
Media volume is at zero. The app has no audio settings. But every time I hit a number key to type in a PIN, it goes CLICK
halcyon moss
does it use the keyboard volume settings? :p
reef patrol
No idea. Nothing - NOTHING on my phone can make sound normally.
No clicks, no pops, no bleeps. Only exception is the phone ringer and Spotify while bluetoothed.

I wonder how
ashen spindle
yes I mean the message before that
your picture with us only and callum knew what it was
wheat plume
It was a reply to what Cruella sent
well, not reply
but a mostly direct topic
If I do this update, my PC will boot into a blank screen.....
Cause of the Nvidia driver update and the lack of a Linux kernel update also
wheat plume
Because the drivers are built against the newest kernel or something similar, so the headers must match
wheat plume
yeah, built towards a specific kernel version iirc
halcyon moss
i thought thats what the building was for.
ashen spindle
no that's just because linux people want you to build things for no reason 
wheat plume
idk the reason anymore, but I know they need to be updated together
halcyon moss
if that would be the case, it is a really shitty update system you got there

empty wren
US only?? ;-;
Best Buy
crisp granite
because they're actually really damn good value for money, as far as laptops go
ashen spindle
m1 if you have lots of money, wait for alder lake laptops if you don't need one right now, amd laptop if you need one now and don't have insane money to splurge on apple tax
crisp granite
M1 macs aren't that expensive considering what you get
ashen spindle
if you are fine with minimum spec on ram and storage and all I guess
crisp granite
8 gigs of ram is fine for macOS or linux
256 gigs is plenty for most users
¯_(ツ)_/¯
not like that extra GPU core matters either
ashen spindle
wasn't even talking about gpu
but I'd be only fine with 8gigs if I would use it for like literally nothing but writing and emails
crisp granite
I know, but that's one of the upgrades that could bump up the price
crisp granite
but I'd be only fine with 8gigs if I would use it for like literally nothing but...
which is the only real use for a laptop tbh
if you need horsepower, you likely have a desktop that kicks ass
ashen spindle
sure but in that case I can do the same with something that cost like 200$
crisp granite
that'll have the build of a wet diaper and a screen that probably is better suited for use as TP than a screen
fair gull
but I'd be only fine with 8gigs if I would use it for like literally nothing but...
8gigs is plenty for most coding i do
altho i might go 16 just to be safe and ssd space isnt all too important cause github
ashen spindle
never see it below 10 mostly lmao
though I also have chrome tabs open for music or searches etc.
shadow minnow
M1 is cool. I would say if you only need 8gb ram, if it’s in your price range and you would benefit from long battery life it’s at least interesting choice
shadow minnow
if you need horsepower, you likely have a desktop that kicks ass
I mean, you may want or need it in one device, and nowadays some laptops are pretty powerful even on battery
shadow minnow
and maybe 1 or 2 tabs in ff
For that tbf, maybe if you find some cheaper non M1 laptop. Since I don’t think you would need that much performance and idk about battery life. If you need it and can spend money, probably M1, but otherwise it may not have enough benefits unless you also need some performance
chrome estuary
I'd prefer the 16gb for the m1. I have an M1 MBA 8gb
shadow minnow
I have M1 pro. It’s interesting. Performance is great, even if some games could use M1 max, for some would be useless.
But also, the fact that performance on low battery mode with battery is same as when plugged in, unless you have both cpu and GPU task (just GPU even if 100% is not an issue)
fair gull
For that tbf, maybe if you find some cheaper non M1 laptop. Since I don’t think ...
i think u underestimated devaluation of silicon
an m1 macbook can prob last me like 10yrs for the coding i do
shadow minnow
That’s true if you want it long term tbh
fair gull
thats the goal
shadow minnow
I have had good experience with MacBooks lasting myself
fair gull
always go as long term as possible
shadow minnow
So for that it may be worth it
fair gull
if i need more compute AWS got me covered
shadow minnow
M1 may be worth it then. I would say M1 MacBook Air with as much rum and storage as you need (unless it’s “too much”)
fair gull
the air only has 8gb ram options
the pro has more
but thats 1.4k plus aswell
ill prob just go for the smallest air
cause both macos and debian dont use much ram or cpu themselves
shadow minnow
Smallest air is a pretty good value imo
ashen spindle
an m1 macbook can prob last me like 10yrs for the coding i do
if it wont break or you dont mind insane repair costs and no upgrade if 8gb is not enough then yes
fair gull
insane repair costs lol
i forgot about those
but tbf
most other laptops have a similar problem if the mobo is trashed
shadow minnow
But M1 does have some compatibility later stuff where it does not support everything from older OpenGLs, but same apparently is true for some Linux distros
shadow minnow
insane repair costs lol
Well, if you get lucky you may not need it, or nearly as often. But otherwise it could be bad. Still unless you break it early prices should go a bit down for repairs later on
Fact that makes me kinda regret my decisions atm is that M1 pro MacBook i have for now is better in every way compared to my pc apart from storage capacity. Tbf it does not support all apps but even display is better than my pretty expensive display, apart from maybe pixel switching time
fair gull
linux 5.13 is the first kernel that supports m1 silicon
apparently not all too much is implemented yet tho
shadow minnow
Pretty sure parallels also has some Linux stuff supporting it but not sure what all
fair gull
ya no if anything bare metal
if i want vms i could just get any laptop and ruin my perf
shadow minnow
But also metal seems to have some advantages if done well compared to OpenGL. At least on 2017 MacBook Pro, it ran way better, like almost two times with war thunder through metal
fair gull
ashen spindle
that's not what he meant with "bare metal" lol
also opengl is kinda dead since like 4 years, you'd kinda hope it doesnt perform better
shadow minnow
that's not what he meant with "bare metal" lol
I know, was writing the message before and now noticed it’s a bit confusing to context, was saying this kinda off topic

Why is file explorer on windows so slow? I mean, considering speed of my ssd, it sometimes takes windows as long as if it was reading every single bit on the ssd to find files, as if it had no directory or sth with just file names and links to said files.
reef tundra
Why is file explorer on windows so slow? I mean, considering speed of my ssd, it...
The metadata written within the file, implemented in Vista, is also utilized in Windows 7. This can sometimes lead to long wait times displaying the contents of a folder. For example, if a folder contains many large video files totaling hundreds of gigabytes, and the Window Explorer pane is in Details view mode showing a property contained within the metadata (for example Date, Length, Frame Height), Windows Explorer might have to search the contents of the whole file for the meta data. Some damaged files can cause a prolonged delay as well. This is due to metadata information being able to be placed anywhere within the file, beginning, middle, or end, necessitating a search of the whole file. Lengthy delays also occur when displaying the contents of a folder with many different types of program icons. The icon is contained in the metadata. Some programs cause the activation of a virus scan when retrieving the icon information from the metadata, hence producing a lengthy delay.[29]
shadow minnow
Why can’t it first load files matching your research, and only then go on to do this stuff so you both see what you are searching for faster, and so it doesn’t go through every file even though most of them don’t match the things?
Like I searched for one thing. Got two results in total after over 2 minutes. Under 10mb combined. So no idea what took it so long, unless it went through metadata of every single file to then only show 2.
It’s not like there were any videos so stuff like that either, mostly just apps

I wish this laptop has a touchscreen so I could use it instead of this shitty touchpad

Apple ones support eGPU natively afaik

Yeah, Apple and Nvidia dont have the greatest relationship anymore

Hackintosh?

plus that dell laptop deal only lasts for 20 more hours.
after that it goes back to nearly 1700$

Only characteristic of the new M1 models
Max and Pro
Why though
Like you are giving me reasons not to actually buy Apple (Not that I was ever going to)
cursive summit
MacBook Pro with M1 Pro
Now pay up extra to be pro
Comes with premium shining cloth
(And yes, some idiot actually bought that)
chrome estuary
I bought the M1 MBA because it has a good screen, okay keyboard, good battery life, no fans, okay touchpad, and I wanted to play with macOS
cursive summit
First time I'm hearing no fans being a good thing
Typically you want good cooling
chrome estuary
It does.

Does Firefox on MacOS support the global menu bar?
I think the peaceful silence means that most of us don't have a clue and haven't sold out our soul to Apple yet, and tend to buy better non-Apple products
ashen spindle
sell it before it drops in price a bit more with zen3d release around/after CES
cursive summit
Oh boy miners like that one
old marlin
Planned to buy a new system next month
And then got news that I am getting back my old one
chrome estuary
i'm gonna upgrade my cpu soon.
old marlin
Want a 2700x 
cursive summit
I'm wanting like a 5800x
Shouldn't you already get a 300$ 5800X from Microcenter while it's still on sale? 😄
I mean this price makes the 5600X basically redundant
chrome estuary
hell i mean i want something like a 5800x but i keep getting told to do the good ol' AMD wait
zen3d and all
cursive summit
Eh I don't know if 5800X will fall much in price
You know, new tech means new pricing
crimson wigeon
Well then 3D is out and 4 is coming real soon and will be even better..
cursive summit
Main thing about the CPUs nowadays, is that you get like what, 20% uplift gen to gen?
GPUs tend to have a lot more than that, and it's quite unlikely you'll bottleneck a modern CPU at all to be fair
8C/16T is plenty fast so if you need a rig just get it now to be fair
chrome estuary
that's why i skipped 3rd gen zen or whatever it's called
cursive summit
My poor R5 3600
One day I'll upgrade to a better one but for now, it plays games fine at 1440p
chrome estuary
well i want to move cases but don't wanna do it until i upgrade mobo and CPU
cursive summit
Get Alder lake then
LGA1700 should still fit Raptor and maybe Meteor Lake after that
I think it's Meteor lake after raptor, not too sure
ashen spindle
yeah just pay extra for ddr5 for no gain
cursive summit
Didn't they release DDR4 models of mobos?
I thought that there were 2 versions of mobos for Alder, DDR4 and DDR5
ashen spindle
then your point about future upgrade wont hold anymore bc there you want ddr5
cursive summit
Ehh I don't think Raptor Lake will drop DDR4 support
ashen spindle
not what I said
cursive summit
I mean I literally read DDR4 versions of mobos exist for Alder, didn't they not launch those?
ashen spindle
yes I said you want ddr5 for future gens
ddr4 exists for now but makes no sense to get
cursive summit
Knowing Intel they'll drop 1700 after Raptor
chrome estuary
damn should i just wait for zen 4 with ddr 5 support then if it's that close to adoption?
cursive summit
You want to wait until late 2022?
ashen spindle
idk what your want from your pc

and it's not making assumptions as much as it's looking at physical specs

Are you aware of what lies beyond PCIe?

it'll all be fuckin lasers and brain augments
ashen spindle
why would there be a thing beyond pcie that doesnt even make sense for desktops
at least not in the future close enough anyone could say with certain
cursive summit
Well at some point we'll advance to a more "lossless" solution
ashen spindle
why
cursive summit
"the way those are made is limiting the amount of heat you can transfer from such a socket"
That sounds like a drawback at some point we might move to a different transfer interface to replace

Infinite power
chrome estuary
so i'm debating between that G15 from dell or the m15 from MSI
the msi comes with an i7-11375h (4c8t)
the dell comes with an i7-11800h (8c16t)
both are rtx 3060s
dell comes with a 1tb m.2
MSI comes with a 512 m.2
i hate to put looks into something like this but i love the look of the msi stealth compared to the dell.
cursive summit
Oh god 8C16T is so much better
Don't go with 4C in 2021
Also 2x more SSD space
You also forgot
The Dell has a higher refresh rate of 165Hz
Not sure if it has a fingerprint scanner though, I don't see one
chrome estuary
i don't need a fingerprint scanner
i just wish dell wasn't cancelling this deal in 17 fucking hours

Thunderbolt 4 though.. This PC could really easily last next 10 years
Man people undervalue the importance of TB, I can't buy a laptop without TB

I'd consider myself a representative of the new generation, and I despise using my phone for anything other than basic functions

you know thats not legal right
as in
actually highly illegal
whois info osnt handed out to anyone willy nilly
only police usually should there be smth they need it for
should it not be correct (which they also can find out) its usually set equal to forgery
halcyon moss
whois info osnt handed out to anyone willy nilly
uhm.. thats not true, the whois info you enter can be retreived with whois
biggest thread to entering the wrong info is that it is grounds to loose your domain, i didnt think it was illegal (but i could be wrong here)
ashen spindle
wasnt there more info you need to provide than the whois would show?
either way there is a reason why a service exists that you can use to show their data instead of your own if you dont want to do that since you're not supposed to enter fake things for safety

such info very private
fair gull
Forgery? Not sure if they have the jurisdiction to enforce that.
well depends on the exact circumstances
in general false whois usually voids the domain should it be reported as the registrars usually have contracts stating it has to be your actual info
reef tundra
well depends on the exact circumstances
"It depends" - lawyer answering any question
fair gull
what site did you try there?
yes
most registrars have to block it due to gdpr so the "whois guard" they usually included it by default
fair gull
"It depends" - lawyer answering any question
literally depends on the circumstances
if you do it intentionally due to criminal activity on the site
yes it could lead to bigger charges
if you just do it cause u didnt know that since years its very hard to obtain actual whois data from most registrars u might get away with losing the domain name
ngl the internet is in a strange state
not just stuck between ipv4 and ipv6
but also domains and ips are in a weird spot
what info to make public and what shouldnt
theres valid reasons for public whois but also a lot against it
reef tundra
You lose the ability to use it in legal claims relating to the domain name 🤷 in any case.
fair gull
how so?
reef tundra
Would think it voids the credibility 🤷
fair gull
Would think it voids the credibility 🤷

damn
that would be one heck of an upgrade
old marlin
I mean
basically turns it into a modern laptop
and you can even replace the screen
to other ones
fair gull
i have the 4:3 t60
now the real question is if i have to back this month or if i can wait till full release and buy one then
old marlin
I'd prob do the latter
@young pecan just checked, hardening oven alone is at 13-20MWh a week
fair gull
I'd prob do the latter
but this vs macbook
i dont even have spare ddr4 sodimms laying round
or ssds
old marlin
macbook is like the polar opposite
fair gull
ik
but sadly they do work more often than not
the mb itself with paypal is 1070eur
idk if i can do wire transfer
if so even cheaper
32gigs ddr4 run me round 120eur
and a nice nvme 250gigs prob like 30-50
so if we gonna be real generous 1300eur
for a 4:3 i7 smth laptop
fair gull
thats added cost and at that point idk if a macbook wouldnt work out just as well
since its mainly for coding etc
fair gull
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it should mainly do that
the rest is secondary
at this point im not even opposed to macos
an upside of m1 is neural engine imo
so some ai workloads can easily run mobile
i mean the 13inch macbook pro looks kinda good ngl
old marlin
isn't that the old hardware one
you might be able to get a good deal on a used one now
fair gull

macbook pro 13inch m1
