[fair gull]

sounds like smth people would complain about

like my customers

[reef patrol]

No. MacOS is different enough from "Linux" today that you'd need significant recoding of it to make it run, let alone well.

eventfd syscall is Linux-specific, without good alternative on macOS
Apple does not support Vulkan, which is needed for DXVK
Apple deprecated OpenGL support, which is needed for WineD3D
macOS is missing support for Python 3 OOTB

And that's ignoring M1 models.

[fair gull]

vulkan is supported on mac

[reef patrol]

Year old reddit thread. 😄

[fair gull]

theres a metal thingy for vulkan

[reef patrol]

I'm going to bet you still need to recode the vulkan part to address metal specifically though.

[fair gull]

yep

while macos has its roots in a unix system it doesnt use linux kernel stuff like a normal distro

darwin kernel is mostly inhouse stuff tho

[empty wren]

Good for animation too, works almost out the box with Garry's mod

[reef patrol]

Anyhow - Nothing inherently preventing Proton from working on a Mac (except not having a lot of GPU power), but you'd need a separate fork and a dedicated amount of programming going into it to port it over and address any differences and performance loss/gains possible.

[crisp granite]

and Kubuntu is stuck at 33% installed

has been for half an hour at this point

[wheat plume]

O.o

[crisp granite]

fuckin finally

[wheat plume]

whats in the terminal output?

[crisp granite]

username and password time

[wheat plume]

aha

have you tried to connect to internet yet?

[crisp granite]

my name is ||double redacted||

[empty wren]

Dsl is better

[crisp granite]

there, name, username, password and PC name done

gotta wait for that to load

[ashen spindle]

they are all the same word on my linux install even root password

[fair gull]

the m1s have some gpu power

[reef patrol]

enough 😄

Still waiting for M1 based systems to accept a 3090 external enclosure and that sort of thing.

[crisp granite]

I hate to break it to you, but the best way to game on an M1 Mac is parallels and win10 for arm

well, unless we're talking native mac releases

[reef patrol]

BACK IN MY DAY ALL MACS WERE GAMING MACHINES. REEEEEE...ZZZZZZ

[crisp granite]

calm your tits, duck man

[empty wren]

To be fair were they not at first

[crisp granite]

all macs can run metro exodus

which is like

the best game

ever

everererrest

yes

[empty wren]

I thought it was fallout new vegas

[crisp granite]

...

yes

which is why parallels is a must

[fair gull]

not the best

but also not completely garbage

[crisp granite]

win10 for ARM, then FNV

[fair gull]

for an arm based soc

running through a vm

[reef patrol]

Anyway - My point remains. As long as the M1 architecture is stuck with whatever is integrated with no ability to slot in a typical PCI-E GPU, then something like "Proton" isn't going to be a particularly high-interest project.

[shadow minnow]

Eh depends, M1 GPU is pretty powerful, just older macs GPUs sucked usually

[fair gull]

no bexin

compared to actual full gpus

[empty wren]

Dontcha worry Mansen ray tracing it coming to mobile

[fair gull]

the m1 gpu still eats dirt

[shadow minnow]

Sure but the thing is

[crisp granite]

that energy efficiency

[shadow minnow]

Many people have pretty bad GPUs or even iGPUs on other OS

[crisp granite]

could play all of metro exodus and DLC on a single charge

[reef patrol]

It's not Intel Integrated shit. On that we can 100% agree. But you can't really put it against a mid to high end PC Graphics card. And that needs to change either by having bigger iGPUs or more realistically adding PCI-E enclosure support. 😄

[crisp granite]

that's unheard of for gaming laptops

[shadow minnow]

And also imo m1 max may be better than GPU of average user though idk

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/bnqilige7yxd.png

[ashen spindle]

yeah because it's also twice the price

so whats your point

[fair gull]

literally the bottom of the chart

[shadow minnow]

Yeah not normal m1

[fair gull]

bexin i mean the worst gpu in there

[ashen spindle]

you dont need to come out and point out the cases where m1 is good everytime someone shows a part where the m1 is bad lmao

[fair gull]

is better than m1

[crisp granite]

#waitform2

#bluemacbook

[fair gull]

no one says m1 isnt impressive

no one says it cant replace gpus decently

it just cant replace gaming gpus

[reef patrol]

[shadow minnow]

Yeah 😦

[reef patrol]

Or rather - It isn't atm.

[shadow minnow]

Since OpenGL older support gone and can’t run most graphical languages, so can’t run many games on it 😦

[crisp granite]

tbh, an M-series mac seems like a solid alternative to a steam deck or other similar devices if you need to get shit done beyond gaming

[shadow minnow]

Unless you want to play one of most unsupported games

[crisp granite]

Bexin

Parallels

[shadow minnow]

Or use seus shaders with mc

[crisp granite]

win10 for ARM

dingus

[shadow minnow]

Still doesn’t fix most games

[crisp granite]

yep

better than nothing

[shadow minnow]

Sure

[crisp granite]

besides

Metro exodus got a native mac port

that's poggers

[shadow minnow]

But as soon as game is partially 32 bit
Or runs sth different than newer OpenGL
Can’t run

[fair gull]

more than solid

[shadow minnow]

Pog

[fair gull]

due to being arm based the efficiency of encoding and compiling is just through the roof

[crisp granite]

also, it's got a lovely story and incredibly visuals

[shadow minnow]

Wait now I switched sides being the one criticizing m1 the most?

[crisp granite]

I do suggest you play it

pinch and I love it

best game

[empty wren]

Dlcs are great too

[crisp granite]

yus

Sam's Story especially

[shadow minnow]

But I can’t even run Rome 2 😦

[crisp granite]

although The Two Colonels was great as well

[shadow minnow]

I can play singleplayer battles but no campaign or multiplier 😦

Also no mc shaders through parallels either

Tbf atm don’t even have parallels since not paying for them since only game it could run was pc building sim from what I tried

[empty wren]

Building PCs on a macintosh

[shadow minnow]

Yeah felt like a war crime

[wheat plume]

oh wow, it found all the OSTs for the games i have installed, wtf

[wheat plume]

Interesting way to do an if statement

in qml

[reef tundra]

Have you ever heard about Conditional (ternary) operator?

[wheat plume]

no...

[ashen spindle]

that is nothing special and used in many languages for years

[wheat plume]

one line if...

this is very neat

[reef tundra]

In computer science, a ternary operator is an operator that takes three arguments.[1]

In computer science, a ternary operator is an operator that takes three arguments (or operands).[1] The arguments and result can be of different types. Many programming languages that use C-like syntax[4] feature a ternary operator, ?:, which defines a conditional expression. In some languages, this operator is referred to as the conditional operator.

In Python, the ternary conditional operator reads x if C else y. Python also supports ternary operations called array slicing, e.g. a[b:c] return an array where the first element is a[b] and last element is a[c-1].[5] OCaml expressions provide ternary operations against records, arrays, and strings: a.[b]<-c would mean the string a where index b has value c.[6]

The multiply–accumulate operation is another ternary operator.

Another example of a ternary operator is between, as used in SQL.

The Icon programming language has a "to-by" ternary operator: the expression 1 to 10 by 2 generates the odd integers from 1 through 9.

[wheat plume]

ooo C#

[reef tundra]

even fortran has it

[wheat plume]

TIL of this operator AND that its possible to do one line functions like this GetWeatherDisplay()

I WISH I KNEW THIS SHIT SOONER
SO NICE

[ashen spindle]

if you use VS syntax highlights it will show when you can refactor code to shorter statements

but syntactic sugar is just neat and should come after you know how to write code well and more importantly well readable

[crimson wigeon]

Nah obviously when you learn a new neat thing you have to apply it everywhere even when it don't make sense

[fair gull]

thats why i use ternaries exclusevily insread of long switch statements

[ashen spindle]

ok thats an actual crime to do that over switch expressions lmao

[crimson wigeon]

BuT i WaS tOlD sWiTcHeS aRe BaD

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

thats how i shall code from now one

[ashen spindle]

if you hate yourself go for it lmao

[fair gull]

i mean u can break ternaries up into lines

[ashen spindle]

yes but

[fair gull]

yikes

way too clean

[reef tundra]

That is not anywhere close to the current limits of batteries

[empty wren]

Just wish graphene batteries were abundant

Thinner

And more energy dense

Though at the very least good temperature managment

[astral haven]

everyone wishes for better batteries

[reef tundra]

More energy density = more angry pixies during the bonfire

[astral haven]

foom

[empty wren]

You could encase them in fire retardant

I would still expect a bit of damage

[astral haven]

i actually think eventually they will give up on making safe batteries and move to just containing them

[reef tundra]

Untill you get them exploding instead of spitting flames

[empty wren]

They are pretty safe

[reef tundra]

Pressure will build up

[empty wren]

If you handle them correctly

[reef tundra]

[empty wren]

Sorry but your argument is going incorrect

[reef tundra]

It has to vent.. and quick.

[astral haven]

nah

[reef tundra]

So you want to make the batteries also be able to hold high pressure gasses at thousands of bar at thousands of degrees goodluck

[empty wren]

There is a solution

No battery

[reef tundra]

Use anything other than sintered-plate nickel-cadmium cells

[astral haven]

"dont use stuff that turns to gas under a few thousand degrees" would be a key part of designing batteries for containment

[reef tundra]

Fire has a poor reputation to give a shit once it is going

[astral haven]

again

containment

[reef tundra]

Same with li-ion batteries

Recycle it then

[astral haven]

lithium ion batteries generate their own gas

disposal is alot harder than recycling

recycling is the easy part
getting the material to the recycling center is the issue

the reason this is a problem is because someone has to pay for it

the recycling process is as effective as you want

you can get 100% its just not usually worth the money

lithium batteries usually can get all the lithium and cobalt back because it is worth
the problem is it costs alot to set up those facilities

and its rather dangerous to ship the stuff around lol

there already are (if you mean subsidies)

[reef tundra]

Recycling processes today recover approximately 25% to 96% of the materials of a lithium-ion battery cell

[astral haven]

but 100% of the lithium or cobalt

[reef tundra]

Pretty much everything except lithium will be extracted

Mined lithium is 5x cheaper

That is why

[astral haven]

the electrolyte is almost always considered disposable

[reef tundra]

Main drive for bothering to even recycle them in the first place is for the cobalt

[astral haven]

yup

but lithium is still rare earth technically

and while you are doing the chemistry to break off the cobalt, you have to extract the lithium anyways

[reef tundra]

Way to incentive recycling would be to subsidise the process or put heavy added taxes to mined lithium. 🤷 Atleast if we want to make the market prioritise recycling over mining

[astral haven]

yup

but that aint gonna happen

[reef tundra]

But the economy

Why don't the individuals go out there and individually solve the problem themselves as their personal responsibility. Marketing and financial will love this idea.

[fair gull]

amd or intel for gaming rn

[zenith gale]

depends

do you have a System already?

[fair gull]

oh no its a system for a customer but demand was non existant for over a year so i kinda didnt keep up

im eying a i5 or i7 of 12th gen

or a new amd ryzen 7

[zenith gale]

it depends, if you are going for intel i recommend going with ddr5 wich costs more but you dont need to. Also because of big.little some games do have issues. also does it consume a little bit more energy thus is harder to cool

but intel has Performance advantages

ddr5 does not majorly increases Performance

please correct me when im wrong

xd

[reef tundra]

AMD has way better performance to joules. But absolute best performace at any costs was still intel. But last time I looked into this was quite a while ago.

[zenith gale]

its something, i would agree on

[halcyon moss]

dont forget to add to motherboard to the costs

[fair gull]

ngl i completely forgot to check if mobo is ddr5 or 4

almost send out an incompatible combo

[zenith gale]

discord saved the World again

[halcyon moss]

hah

and also check if the mem is on the qualified list :p

[fair gull]

the ddr4 mem?

[reef tundra]

Doesnt it have its own keyed slot like ddr2,ddr3,ddr4 had?

[fair gull]

i just went with a safe ddr4 3000 combo

unless those arent supported by intel cpus

and or mobos

[halcyon moss]

thats why tyou check the list :p
i thought i bought a "safe option" for my laptop. it did not work

Depends on the update specifically.

[pale sigil]

major version

[wheat plume]

Deleted 32GB of "Previous Windows Installs" Last night

[young pecan]

A lot of the time it’ll copy the files it’s changing and revert if anything fails during. Even with big updates.

Had a 7 gig update once that did that. Very impressive.

[reef patrol]

Of course it does. That's literally what allows it to rollback. 😄

We're not talking a complete mirror of course.

it yeets the os

don't be stupid and buy the latest shitcoin

[reef tundra]

Remember that those are the exception the rule not the trend

someone will have to pay 60k for a bitcoin and just sit with it

[ashen spindle]

imo binance is the easiest to use for your usecase

I'm not saying it has no issues and is perfect so by all means suggest him something else that isn't finding some random person to sell it to him privately

I think if the point is to put money and trade it likely gamble and take another look at it in 2 years so it just sits it doesnt matter if your bank or whoever knows about it easily

not like he's going to dump 6 digit sums

because thats only the point if you want to use it as alternative and not just view it as stocks with extreme swings

i think i don’t have a bootloader on my m.2 drive

it detects it

but no windows boot manager

@reef patrol hello duck

what do

yes it was working in my main pc

either there’s a magic switch in bios that’ll make it just work or i need a windows 11 usb

[reef patrol]

Knowing Windows it probably put your boot files on a different drive. Hard to tell without a booting PC 😄

[misty saffron]

so the best course of action is to get a bootable usb and try to repair bootloader?

[wheat plume]

Help only appears if you hover over it with the cursor.....

[fair gull]

u sure it was a uefi install

not mbr

[reef patrol]

On NVME??

[fair gull]

i mean uefi usually puts the bootloader onto the same disk as the win install

the only thing that really likes to split up is an mbr install

at least from a few hundred installs in my personal experience

[reef patrol]

Nope. Windows still puts it on Disk 0 if it can get away with it on UEFI.

[fair gull]

personally havent encountered it

not like creating a boot partition is hard

so worst case u make a win10/11 boot stick and just manually make one

Or is the 25th the start of the 72 hour payment period?

[ashen spindle]

read the first two sentences of the link

[wheat plume]

They are in order.... what

so one customer every 3 days...

at most, sooner if they pay sooner

[ashen spindle]

what

[wheat plume]

Customers will have 3 days (72 hours) from receipt of their order email to make their purchase, before their reservation is released to the next person in the queue

[ashen spindle]

how do you read one customer after another from that

obviously that means for the entire stock they have at once

and not one by one

[fair gull]

everyome with a reservation in the batch has 72hrs to pay

the unpaid ones get kicked and x from the next batch get the same prompt

rinse and repeat until theres no units left in the reservation

[wheat plume]

oh

[fair gull]

idk how u read everyone 1 by 1 from that link

[wheat plume]

so, if a lot of people dont pay, its possible to be moved to the batch before you?

[fair gull]

yes

[wheat plume]

oo

[fair gull]

and if u cant pay cause u planned for a later date

ure back of the line again

[wheat plume]

Nah, I can pay at any time currently

[fair gull]

just explaining

[wheat plume]

key word is currently

;-;

[solar hinge]

the first part of my watercooling order is here

[wheat plume]

Only fans!

[solar hinge]

3 out of 12

90 euro per 3

[wheat plume]

Only some fans!

🤔 wtf

[solar hinge]

you can see a radiator as well

[wheat plume]

360 for 12 fans....

boi

the sound mixer is no longer a small popup from the taskbar .-.

[solar hinge]

win11?

[wheat plume]

yep

it just opens settings

This writer, meanwhile, recalls a 1990's lecturer who thought all GUIs were the devil's work.

LOL

[misty saffron]

most guis are devil’s work

[shadow minnow]

o.o tell all components

[solar hinge]

this is the rest, the crossed out one is the radiator i cancelled and got the 480mm in stead

[shadow minnow]

Which 480 did you get?

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/water-cooling-gif-24008042

[misty saffron]

we all know that the thing you censored is a bad dragon product

[solar hinge]

EK-CoolStream PE 480 (Quad)

[shadow minnow]

Why not get XE?

[solar hinge]

space

[shadow minnow]

Also are you gonna be doing double fans or?

[solar hinge]

xe is 60mm thick

no 😄

i'm not dripping in money

[shadow minnow]

If you really wanted to you can get two XEs into even fractal design s2, just barely

[solar hinge]

but i'm lazy

i have corsair 7000D

[shadow minnow]

I mean in some cases you would only need 12 fans for two double rads. Since 6 fan places sometimes enough

[solar hinge]

and i still want it to be easy to do something in the case as well 😛

3 top, 4 front, 4 side, 1 back

[shadow minnow]

With s2 despite it looking small you can do one sided xe in front and even 2 sided XE on top.
But with XE in front and PE on top already looks small

Like 5 mm between rads

Or 3

But it just works

[solar hinge]

i might, and it's a big might, add a slim 480mm to the side , but then the fans don't fit on it anymore so, it would be passive

[shadow minnow]

Hmm that would be kinda waste of money imo tbh

[solar hinge]

with the amount of air flow, it should still be ok

[ashen spindle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-kingpin-pictured

[wheat plume]

is kingpin the model name?

[reef patrol]

Sub-brand name.

Series?

EVGA is the company.

[wheat plume]

so like how poco is to xiaomi?

[reef patrol]

More like a Samsung GALAXY

Kingpin is basically cherry picked, super awesome chips that are sold as cards that overclock REALLY well.

[fair gull]

its a series of cards

[wheat plume]

ah ok

[fair gull]

kingpin is basically hired by evga afaik to make bomb ass cards for OC

[wheat plume]

o...a person

[fair gull]

hes an overclocker and name giver of those cards

but as mansen said basically cherry picked for best oc

[wheat plume]

neat!

[reef patrol]

More of a brand name than him literally doing all the work these days 😄

Like how ASRock keeps using Fatality's name on their boards, even though the guy was a Quake 3 guy (I think?)

[ashen spindle]

bit different, asrock got the naming right, evga actualyl employ Vince

so even if he doesnt do it all himself he's still in charge of it

[reef patrol]

Potato potato. They're using him for the name more than his actual work.

[ashen spindle]

I mean he's still the one doing the testing on it

[fair gull]

afaik he still helps a lot

[ashen spindle]

as of the 3090 KP he was still hands on with the product so I doubt that changed since then

[fair gull]

and multiple thousands on gpus

according to selfposted pictures

[crimson wigeon]

Exactly, not dripping in money, but swimming in money!

same here, in crypto, stocks and also trying to save more again 😄

so what do you invest into?

[crisp granite]

🤨

fleimi

uh

[solar hinge]

socks?

[crisp granite]

bank stocks

those

they're pretty solid

dividends and pretty much straight growth

[solar hinge]

those are also stocks :p

[crisp granite]

slow growth, but growth nonetheless

[crisp granite]

but packaged up in a neat little bow

and with management fees

[solar hinge]

ahh straight part i missed

[crisp granite]

meanwhile...I just have like...hm, at this point it should be like...20k?
in bank stock

the dividend alone is nice growth, good few percent a year

also helps that the stock itself grows in value a good...few percent a year as well

solid, stable growth

gotta put in MOAR

MOAR STONKS

oh, and 5% of my paychecks goes into the company I work for's stock as well, which they match 25% of contributions towards

delicious

this and I'm barely an adult and still in uni...pretty much the one thing I can be proud of in my life

[wheat plume]

this is the worst way possible to add a system tray..

Its only in the overview, and its a click away in a slide out menu

ok, windows does that last part too

[crimson wigeon]

Windows only hides unused icons tho

Or rather, those you choose to hide

But also... that's basically the old design they had before they killed the tray, just with a modern flat look instead of a gradient

[wheat plume]

I choose to hide them all

[crimson wigeon]

(it used to be a a gradient thing that slid up from the bottom of the screen in activities view, or if you threw the mouse to the bottom right corner, notifications also went there, it was pretty neat tbh)

[wheat plume]

Wait....

Gnome used to have a tray???

[crimson wigeon]

Yes

[wheat plume]

Clearly haven't been using Linux long enough to know that ... Hmm xd

Why they remove it?

[crimson wigeon]

vision

[wheat plume]

Oh wait
This is the gnome team
They don't make logical decisions

They make nice UI design though
Except icon and UI themes

The reason tbeg removed transparent background in gnome terminal is because they felt it didn't run well on older hardware
But I've used plasma desktop on my old laptop without issues and that has blur effects and a shit ton of animations to enable if you want

[reef tundra]

gnome is trash

my phones face rec can deal with masks already

[ashen spindle]

dont think I'll ever switch away from using a password

[wheat plume]

I use fingerprint

[empty wren]

Is there no way it could be ported to older version?

[shadow minnow]

Why?

[ashen spindle]

Safety

[shadow minnow]

Hmm fair point.
Myself tbh kinda feel like 3d face authentification is safer since I feel like if someone wanted they could find out what am I typing since I use phone often.
And also for just checking notification the speed is nice.
But idk, probably wouldn’t go away from 2d face unlock either just for convenience

Please stop. Musk is a gift to the world, and if he gets assassinated (as did John Lennon) we'll all be worse off for it.

The account's popularity appears to have scared Musk. “I don’t love the idea of being shot by a nutcase,” he told Sweeney in their DM conversation.

The conversation continued for a few more messages. Musk asked Sweeney how much he made off the Twitter accounts, which Sweeney said was no more than $20 a month. Then Elon Musk made his own offer: $5,000 to delete the account and help the billionaire keep “crazy people” from tracking his location. Sweeney told Musk to add another 0. “Any chance to up that to $50k? It would be great support in college and would possibly allow me to get a car maybe even a Model 3.”

Musk said he’d think about it. But so far, he hasn’t paid Sweeney a dime, and the account is still running. Sweeney says he’s okay with getting ghosted. He’s benefited a lot from @Elo#0001nJet and the other accounts, he said: He's gained social media followers, learned how to code and even scored a part time job at UberJets as an application developer. Better yet, the self-described Elon Musk “fan” got to have a conversation with a man he’s looked up to for years.

and more importantly how much would the alternative cost

is there a specific thing?

[fair gull]

yes the entire language

[zenith gale]

what do you mean by that?

[fair gull]

that the entire language is horrible and should be forgotten

[zenith gale]

why?

[fair gull]

idk if u ever heard dutch dirty talk

but the cringe u get from that is the same as the entire german language

[zenith gale]

okay?

its hard to imagine

[halcyon moss]

geil

[fair gull]

is it?

just imagine doing dutch dirty talk 24/7

[zenith gale]

yes

are you german so dirty?

or what?

or like the sound?

[fair gull]

smth like Ja schatje, neem het allemaal, je bent mijn sletje, ja schatje. Ungh, ja, umpf. Ja, neem het allemaal. Kom op je knieën en zuig aan me. Oeeh, ja lekker schatje. Ben je klaar voor mijn lading? Ja? Ik ga over je heen komen! Aaaah wat lekker!

no just the cringyness

[zenith gale]

i think dirtytalk is generally cringe

some say that the german language is difficult

[fair gull]

na english dirty talk if not overdone is kinda sexy imo

the german language is difficult

the easiest way to tell non germans apart from germans is wrong use of articles and time forms being wrong

[zenith gale]

okay, but you are still able to tell the message they are trying to say?

[fair gull]

depends

sometimes u need to decypher it

[zenith gale]

but that is possible?

once i have heard a german talk English, that was funny

[fair gull]

depends on how badly they pronounce the words

[fair gull]

i mean judging by the people i asked i apparently speak better english than 60percent of americans

[zenith gale]

isnt it a native language there?
