[ashen spindle]

both statements can be/are true though?

[serene oxide]

sad, but true

[reef tundra]

The first title is nonsensical

[halcyon moss]

So higher refresh rates halped to create a more visibly stable image. What ppl forget about crts that the image was wobbly and headache inducing. A decent screen would do 75hz, but many did more thankfully. Also 1600x1200 was godlike. But my first lcd was sooo much easier on the eyes, even when it was lower res, lower refresh (like games did more than 20fps lol)

[reef tundra]

Technically CRTs are just a single pixel

[reef patrol]

75 or 85. Kind of depended on brand and price. Pretty sure we had some +90 ones as well?

[halcyon moss]

Crts were kinda terrible tbh for most usage
I also don't think the blacks were super black, but I might remember that incorrectly

[reef tundra]

There is a reason we dont massproduce them anymore

It was mostly limited by how quickly the electromagnets could be charged and discharged

[halcyon moss]

And hot, and large

[reef tundra]

Cables had to be rated to carry both the active and apparent power. Apparent power might not be consumed, but the current will be measurable nevertheless

Hmm, what yall think of this?

[pale sigil]

lemmi watch it i guess

First few seconds makes no sense

ITS A COMPUTER

can run any os on it

[wheat plume]

Hes never mentioned the OS

[reef patrol]

Makes perfect sense. 😄

Valve releases Steam Deck v1
Next year - Sorry no more support for v1. Buy v2

[pale sigil]

Its like razer saying not supporting their laptops anymore, doesn't mean it becomes useless

[empty wren]

Useful for landfills

[reef patrol]

Something something VR headsets and such.

[ashen spindle]

he starts his rant of with saying how they did not make more indexes and how they are not working on the steam vr software?

tf is he on about

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

not watching more after that lol

also not following up on artefact.. yea the thing didn't work out, what should they do, put it on life support and pretend it's good?

[pale sigil]

its mostly a silly video

lol

He brings up some good points but mostly stupid shit

[ashen spindle]

there are constant steamvr updates and it's most likely they are just waiting on UI and functionality changes till deckard is out

[wheat plume]

is Deckard the actual name for whatever it is?

[ashen spindle]

idk

it's not announced so it could change any second

[wheat plume]

Aha

[pale sigil]

and yanno

their tracking tech is free to use.... or well not restricted to their own stuff

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/you-see-it-is-part-plan-explain-gif-20448886

[wheat plume]

?

[pale sigil]

they constantly update their tech, steam machine was also scrapped due to manufacturers not steam

SteamOS was steam, steambox was Dell etc

[wheat plume]

The fact that Newell himself has stated the Valve are basically ONLY focusing on the Deck currently means that I dfoubt they will drop interest in it fast

Especially since they want to push Linux Gaming

[reef patrol]

I MEAN... Valve forgot about Steam Machines as a concept REAL FAST 😛

[wheat plume]

yeah

no shit

they failed HARD

and the one I got came with Windows cause the OEM wasnt able to get a stable SteamOS at the time they launched it

[pale sigil]

cos manufactuers wouldnt give a shit

so why waste time

they kept on with steamos

[reef tundra]

Demand wasnt there

[reef patrol]

Well you see - If you give up, then the project has failed. Fighting on however...

[wheat plume]

tbf, Dell did toss in a free 360 controller and somes games as a compromise

[pale sigil]

Valve also are the reason gaming is doable on steam now too many years before dexck

[reef patrol]

By that logic we would have never gotten VR... Cause it SUUUUUUUUUCKED for so long xD

[reef tundra]

standard economy 101 supply and demand curves

[pale sigil]

Well no

Because that was HTC

And Valve did tracking

[reef patrol]

Oh you know... allowing beta branches officially. Not fucking over speedrunners by removing older builds.
ET CETERA

[reef tundra]

Yet they are busy trying to improve it anyway

[pale sigil]

im honestly mainly on about the video

steam are nobs

but the video is mostly stupid

im skeptical of the deck xD

which is why im glad im not in the first wavexD

[ashen spindle]

oh I got plenty of bad words to yell at valve as someone who played way too much TF2

but idc anymore and now im just waiting for a new VR headset from them lmao

that is looking amazing but I'd prefer something for use on my pc

you mean the usb-c port that is on the current readon cards?

think so

but either way wouldnt really change anything

trend is to go wireless anyway

no just wifi

and the data adatper into a usb port is how vive did it iirc

[reef tundra]

Just a video stream probably

[ashen spindle]

I mena the vive thing is already quite good and that is a couple years old now

going by the current info deckard is likely going to have a XR2 and a AMD APU in it

at uni we had a kit of it and I had no issue playing beatsaber

but most likely will not need those things anymore and just have wifi built in on the XR2

qualcomm xr2

as long as you dont go for something like grabbing stuff behind your back it's fine for the most part

beat saber is fine for 90% of players on it I'd say

well, depends

most games have the area set so generous you can do it and most of the time it works bc it just assume where your hand should be

or the hitbox it just right ontop of you head and you can grab it there already lol

ah good wrap up of currently "known" specs of deckard https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1486454258006466562

Brad Lynch (@SadlyItsBradley)

If you missed my last stream: this is a perfect wrap up of what I think Valves next VR HMD (Deckard) is summing up to be

Basically similar to what Apple is doing, but instead of running something based on Mac OS, it’d be Steam OS 3 + XRDesktop

[reef tundra]

Why no pulling bolts from a quiver? You keep your quiver on your hip normally

[ashen spindle]

nobody has any idea on price

we dont know how close to break even valve is willing to sell it, or how much parts of it even cost

the chips are easy to figure out but lenses and such is not something used elsewhere so can't get any numbers on them

[empty wren]

4k microled sounds expensive

And two for that matter

It still would interesting to know, since there is only one other company using the tech, and they are trying to get the price down

[ashen spindle]

given how cheap they are selling the steam deck for I dont think that's going to be the case

whatever it is I really hope it's still coming this year and im ready for it

index was announced in march and released in june 19

so lets see if it will be similar now

oh was april not march for the announcement

[reef tundra]

Cant imagine it have anywhere near a good fuel economy

guzzelene guzzler

[wheat plume]

is there a way to remove this shit on YT Music?

[umbral knot]

no

I googled it once

so I use spotify now

[wheat plume]

it doesnt even wait for the song to end

[timid chasm]

Could you get used to 30 fps again? sure but that's going to take some work and internal struggles

I'm sure that varies by person though. No problem for my wife but I can't stand to play anything fast paced on Switch

[young pecan]

Use Tidal.

[wheat plume]

Funny number go brr

[true quest]

that is tall

[wheat plume]

Wut

It's a tiny ass screen

[reef tundra]

Tiny screen for tiny arm, or something? Because its huge

[wheat plume]

I got myself a purple watch face
It's so pretty

[wheat plume]

My wrists are really small....

[true quest]

still long

[wheat plume]

Smol wrist

1.64 inch AMOLED screen

[reef tundra]

In real SI units?

[wheat plume]

4.1656cm

[reef tundra]

how are your wrists "really small". Seems average sized to me. Width of my wrist is about 6 cm.

[wheat plume]

Who'ms'tf measures screen size in cm though?

[reef tundra]

Me

[wheat plume]

Gross

[reef tundra]

Using non-SI units is a gross negligent mistake

[misty saffron]

last time i was handcuffed the nice policeman told me my wrists are small

so that must be saying something

[pale sigil]

Was a file format error

[fair gull]

so

should i use 2 separate pcie cables from the psu for the new rtx gpu connector or should i use 1 with the branch

[old marlin]

I wonder how this drive failed

[fair gull]

deffo not the dust

[old marlin]

can't be

[fair gull]

its that 1 clean spot u rubbed free after it failed

[old marlin]

probably

[fair gull]

it knew that ud do that and failed so u can

[old marlin]

to be fair

it is prob in one of the worst enviroments a PC can be in

[reef tundra]

It must be the manufacturer that caused the error

[old marlin]

except for fine metal dust

giant ass hardening oven like 15 meters from it

[fair gull]

fine metal dust is what powers my pc

[old marlin]

and two giant electroplating lines in a connected factory floor

[fair gull]

rest in piece hdd

[reef tundra]

The most average use case Id say

[fair gull]

time to switch to ssd

[old marlin]

no

is in a raid

with a mirrored drive

only reason I know that it even failed was because it wouldn't boot with a bad drive

[reef tundra]

So 4 drives?

[old marlin]

2

[fair gull]

raid 1 is mirrored needs only 2 min

[old marlin]

ye

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, would contact manufacturer about warranty, have to expect such a usecase

[old marlin]

model line is old af

[reef tundra]

Oh, just the redundancy part of raid is used.

[old marlin]

I hope I can just replace it with a new seagate barracuda compute

cause those are cheap af

[fair gull]

u can

[reef tundra]

Dont need raid when you got nvme

😎

[fair gull]

what

that makes 0 sense

[shadow minnow]

I mean the point of raid in this case is different

It’s not speed

As much

It’s also a backup for all the data

[fair gull]

who uses raid just for speed

[shadow minnow]

Tbf you could maybe use ssd as main drive and hdd only for backup

[shadow minnow]

Some do tbf

[fair gull]

and raid 1 isnt a backup

[reef tundra]

redundancy array independent disks or something

[shadow minnow]

Well since it’s mirrored also can function as backup

[fair gull]

uh no?

raid1 doesnt replace backups at all

[old marlin]

[shadow minnow]

Don’t mean that

[old marlin]

you still want backups

but most raids are for redundancy

except anything 0

[reef tundra]

Its for reliability, need more bits to go wacky for data to become unrecoverable. Altered by spontaneous bit flips and whatnot

[fair gull]

then dont call anything not raid 0 a backup

cause its not

[young pecan]

bUt RAID 6 iS bAckUp, nO?

[halcyon moss]

raid 0 is only for speedups or more diskspace. and loosing data when 1 disk breaks

i never bothered with 0. does not make much sense tbh

[young pecan]

Gotta be in the heli first in BF4.

Fuck your teammates, they're leeches anyway.

[reef tundra]

Exactly that is why you hop on the anti-air and teamkill the heli

[young pecan]

Fuck yeah.

[reef tundra]

Always remember to forget where friendly positions are and ignore the calls of friendly fire when mowing down some 'hostiles'. If someone asks why you friendly fired someone tell them to stop dying 😎

More shootin' less poopin'

what a meme

[reef patrol]

Oh murrica...

[young pecan]

Oh that'll be great.

[pale sigil]

Cba to look, what's meme about it

[old marlin]

ioless laptop

[pale sigil]

Ooft

[old marlin]

you get a wireless charger

that attaches to the back of the screen

magnetically

with IO

unsure if you can use that IO without a wall plug though

[crimson wigeon]

Apple hasn't released such a product yet so yeah memes

[old marlin]

but hey

7mm thick

the important stuff

less IO than the average chromebook

or smartphone even

[reef tundra]

Bruh, wireless charging..

why

[old marlin]

yes

at least it attaches directly

so no super shit efficiency

[reef tundra]

Does it though?

[old marlin]

uhh

I would assume so

how else does it stick

[reef tundra]

Im seeing a coil

[old marlin]

well ye

obv

idk what they do then

[reef tundra]

Im suspecting it to be a scam or atleast they are doing everything to look like one

[old marlin]

well

prob super early concept for a kickstarter or something

[reef patrol]

...why?

Just... plug it in and stop wasting power you fucks xD

[reef tundra]

Has it even shown a viable product or is it in cgi magic world?

[halcyon moss]

on image with the woman holding it, it looks thinner than the keyboard

and that wireless hub has all the ports, but.. how does it get it to the laptop 🤔

and it attaches to the back, yeah.. sure. that wont make the laptop flip over

this smells like a scam.

[reef tundra]

This would be one nightmare device to design for

You want to magnetically stick to a surface and have wireless charging

[halcyon moss]

iphone does it..

[pale sigil]

Aye

He's prob being sarcastic

[shadow minnow]

Okay ngl that’s just pointless. With phones it imo makes sense but with laptop…

Both wireless charging and overall no other ports.

Like why. On phones sure you don’t have space and may want better water resistance so no port makes some sense. On laptop sounds ridiculous

[reef tundra]

An Iphone and this supposed system are on different scales

[shadow minnow]

Sure but with this I don’t get the point

Of why would they make it portless

Like even for it being thin, makes no sense to make it so thin usb c port can’t be there, since you want kb to be usable too

[reef patrol]

I really need to get a Mister FPGA at some point.

Finish my Apple II arcade.

[solar hinge]

Don't mind the cables, need to get some extension cables 😁 and then they will disappear into the fake wall

[reef patrol]

Convenient half wall for the TV 😄

[old marlin]

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-01-27-atari-releasing-giftable-nfts-to-celebrate-50th-anniversary

can it get worse than NFT lootboxes

[reef tundra]

Whether it even is 'portless' is debatable. Depends on how you define it all. Would the product meaningfully change if there was an connector/port between the charger and laptop.

[halcyon moss]

tv super straight, wall super crooked

[solar hinge]

optical illusion

[halcyon moss]

you're an optical illusion

[reef tundra]

How can mirrors be real if our eyes arent real

[solar hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/illusion-gif-13246494

[halcyon moss]

aaargh!

[shadow minnow]

I mean laptop itself is portless by definition but that’s where it ends

[reef tundra]

In a way the charger(with the all the connectors/ports) becomes a connector. Just bulkier

[shadow minnow]

Sure but it’s not connected to port on laptop. But yeah irl product itself isn’t very portless

[fair gull]

let me guess its not a gif

[halcyon moss]

it is

right click and pause it

(on firefox uncheck loop)

[fair gull]

the joke was its an optical illusion

[reef patrol]

Just looked at prices - Those are... less awesome. 😄

Will have to wait till they go back down a bit again. Apparently they were also hit hard by the chip shortages.

[reef tundra]

How much?

[reef patrol]

Can't wait to get my "arcade" running though. Even if it'll have to be a Raspberry shortterm.

9" lyfe

Just gotta find a way to mount the damn LCD panel to the front. No mounting points or anything, so I'll have to do some kind of 3D printed mount it can stand on or something.

Oof

[reef tundra]

Oh, DE-10 is just 175usd seems normal pricing

[reef patrol]

Something like this... god this looks jank. I really need a 3D printer.

[reef patrol]

Try 220$ in Europe 😄

And that's just the base. Then you gotta add various addons.

[misty saffron]

wtf is odd button supposed to mean on this pc case

would make sense if it had a place for that

odd text i guess

[fair gull]

prob same shell for multiple models

[empty wren]

Rest in peace free original quality storage

[misty saffron]

wait what

they don’t allow to backup in original quality even if you pay?

[fair gull]

they do

[empty wren]

Free

[fair gull]

its just using account storage

the unlimited means the free deal they promised

and now cant keep

which was kinda predictable

[empty wren]

They can

But not anymore yeah

With pixel 6

[fair gull]

no even google cant whip up petabytes of data each day

as in new space

[empty wren]

I mean I get your point

But pixel and pixel xl have lifetime free original quality

[fair gull]

Today, more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded. Since so many of you rely on Google Photos to store your memories, it’s important that it’s not just a great product, but also continues to meet your needs over the long haul. In order to welcome even more of your memories and build Google Photos for the future, we are changing our unlimited High quality storage policy. 

28 BILLION new files each week

[empty wren]

It makes sense why they limited unlimited high quality uploads

[fair gull]

not to mention i know many piracy groups use google for petabytes of games in the cloud

on multiple shared drives

[empty wren]

XD

Good found some old photos

And put it into my Google photos

Never seen em before either

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/wby8umbpf3k6.png

ngl

even if its 23billion small photos

theyd store a fuck ton of new data weekly

[reef tundra]

A lot of it will be duplicates

[empty wren]

Yes why most people will have to pay

Or use storage

[fair gull]

idk how many people u know taking the same photo

but fair shared pics maybe ya

tbf we dont know how google handles dupes

if they get some sort of hardlinks

instead of actual copies

[empty wren]

Just upload 1pb of duplicates

[fair gull]

see

the thing is

[empty wren]

And work at goole

Then answer founf

[fair gull]

if u pay monthly for workspace or what its called now

[empty wren]

One

[fair gull]

u can store unlimited data

[empty wren]

Google One

[fair gull]

na google one is the private thing

doesnt give u shared drives

a shared drive can have up to 400k files

at 5TB per file

and if you pay for workspace google allows you to create as many as you want

https://discordjs.moe/gpl829065g01.png

not that my workspace account itself has a limit either

i mean

prob cheaper than building your own cloud infrastructure to save photos

i wish that was as good as googles services

[reef tundra]

You don't really want to get payed and handle their data. Its a liability then

[fair gull]

i dont exactly love google

but i do like using some of their services

eh i dont share photos usually

and if i do via whatsapp

so /shrug

eh this way i dont clean up my mess of around 200gb of photos

and videos

exactly

id rather not keep em locally

not yet at least

if i go and buy the 22 5tb drives i plan to

id have a nas for them

mine are mostly work related

multiple of the same device sometimes

[reef tundra]

Images for that would probably be sought after

Okay some of it looks okay

But abandoned rings bad bells

[reef patrol]

I mean it was sold as abandoned, not "ready to move in with a family"
It is an obvious fixer upper 😛

[young pecan]

TL;DW: How much is it?

[reef patrol]

If it works, it works.

[young pecan]

Yeee

And going through fixing it up anyway could be some good value.

Throw a renter in there or something.

Sell it outright.

[wheat plume]

the previous owner was an artist who liked to get high

That is a possibility

It's #content
Literally making money off of buying an abandoned house and having a super cheap studio space while doing it 😄

I was looking up this board on youtube and 90% of the videos are for fortnite... wtrf

its a 60% board

comes with a mouse and mousepad

[crisp granite]

...

yep

[wheat plume]

yep what?

is this board popular on fortnite for some reason?

[reef tundra]

...

yep

[crisp granite]

that's unfortunately common for a lot of keyboards now a days

because

as Elv himself said

the great Eldritch being himself

[wheat plume]

LOL

[crisp granite]

honestly

my guess is that it's disgustingly cheap and that means the kiddos can just not eat lunch at school for a week and save up the lunch money to buy the full kit

mouse, 60% keyboard and mousepad

[wheat plume]

true true

[reef tundra]

saddle the kiddos up with consumables

[crisp granite]

it's good value

[wheat plume]

the board on its own is €60

[crisp granite]

boars are free

just go out and shoot them

oh

[wheat plume]

LOL

[crisp granite]

the board

yes

60€ isn't bad tbh

[wheat plume]

Yeah for sure

I felt the switches, they are very very light

was at store, so cant say about how they sound

[crisp granite]

...

people spend less on the full board than I do on just switches

[wheat plume]

LOL

[reef tundra]

Boars are recognisable for their iconic yelps of 'freedom'. Dont worry just shoot, its not sentient ... i hope

[wheat plume]

Ive spent €35 on keycaps

[crisp granite]

dead serious...
I'm gonna buy myself 240 CAD worth of switches for my birthday

€30 mech board, idk how that would feel

[crisp granite]

the stock tactility is stupidly high already

gotta hope there will be a V2 with a bit less ig

[crisp granite]

you seem to not realise that bigger always equals better

[old marlin]

obv

to the point where switches just feel like crap

[crisp granite]

ngl, I actually like the D shaped tactiles

besides

can always reverse the mod

make

[old marlin]

no like

[crisp granite]

[old marlin]

stock tactility is too high

it is way more tactile than anything alps

[crisp granite]

yep

well

hm

[old marlin]

like WAY more tactile

[crisp granite]

no

it's on par with amber alps

[old marlin]

ah yes

[crisp granite]

which themselves were already HYPER TACTILE

[old marlin]

the ones few people use

[crisp granite]

I love em

:D

[old marlin]

cause it is too tactile

[crisp granite]

dude

I actually had some somewhere

[old marlin]

give me salmon smh

or blue

[crisp granite]

love em

so nice

sharp

mmm

[reef tundra]

Are you stabbing some fish?

[old marlin]

I still want a few salmon alps

[crisp granite]

this is basically MX factor ambers

but

none of that delicious alps sound

[old marlin]

but you can't get them easily in germany

[crisp granite]

[old marlin]

we only get white and black alps

and black ones are rarer already

found an old board with SKCM orange

an M0118

for 280€

like ???

another M0118 with unnamed switches

for 75

[crisp granite]

hm

[old marlin]

might buy that one actually

should be either orange or salmon

can just buy

and decide if I like

[crisp granite]

could buy two complete in-box, untouched apple IIc's for a thou each and flip the rest minus the keyboards

[old marlin]

not worth

[crisp granite]

the keyborbs

with amber alps

[old marlin]

ah

[crisp granite]

[old marlin]

ye

[crisp granite]

yes

those

[old marlin]

not worth tho

[crisp granite]

untouched, sir

virgins

[old marlin]

also

not amber

https://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_IIc

gotta hope it is orange

hairpin is garbage

and the USw is as well

[crisp granite]

both listings say amber

[old marlin]

ah wait

[crisp granite]

and the article itself says type 2 used AMBER and SKCL Lock

[old marlin]

yea nvm the deskthority article is garbage

but be prepared it can do weird shit like this

like ???

I could build my F1-8X with alps

[reef tundra]

Why would an authority on desks know about keyboards

[old marlin]

no I won't

[reef tundra]

[old marlin]

where do good keyboards spend most their time

[crisp granite]

yeah...

[old marlin]

YO

[crisp granite]

wait

wot

shit dude

[old marlin]

100% some giga shit hall effect switches

although DVK had some shit buckling springs

[reef tundra]

Maybe old tech was shit after all 🤷

[old marlin]

nah

but both are shitty versions of the western originals

which are ok by modern standards

at best

afaik most of the russian HE clones are based on honeywell switches

the buckling springs are like 1:1 model f/m

aaaaaand the M0118 guy does not take paypal

rip

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kek-bttv-twitch-emote-gif-15123134

[crisp granite]

idk mate, vintage keyboards are nice and all

[reef tundra]

Offer gold bars instead

[crisp granite]

but I think the modern "kicking things past eleven with disastrous results" is more my thing

GMK lead times are a stellar example
which means it'll be a good while till they can pump out more Handarbait

[old marlin]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-handarbeit-r2

you can join the preorder

for the in production R2

and get it this year

[crisp granite]

no support for <insert layout very few use>

what more do you want

dvorak?

get uniprofile then smh

I'd jokingly say "ISO-EE" but it's only missing one key for that

[reef tundra]

Since it doesnt do obscure edge case, its absolute trash. Therefore we are more correct

😎

[crisp granite]

no õ key

instant trash

[old marlin]

which layout has a first layer õ key

[crisp granite]

even though Handarbeit is a great colourway, doesn't match every usecase

[reef tundra]

Exactly, will ignore that issue if our choice also failed the edge case

[old marlin]

the usecase was cherry flexing doubleshot ABS

[crisp granite]

Estonian

[old marlin]

sucks to be them

maybe the entire country can come together to fill MOQ

[crisp granite]

funny thing, quite a few Nordic sets include support for a Baltic language

[old marlin]

also

how many percent of estonians use estonian layout

and not a generic ISO or ANSI one

https://superuser.com/questions/973442/how-do-i-type-the-pipe-symbol-on-a-swedish-keyboard/1221535

[reef tundra]

And what if one day we feel a little Estonian that day. We are correcter and better, refuse to comment, will eat your drywall if more questions are raised

[crisp granite]

I'd assume...at least half

it's one different key from swedish lol

[old marlin]

assuming is not the truth

[reef tundra]

Swedish that is the problem

[crisp granite]

well shit

imagine having a 🚫 as letter

[crisp granite]

also

wtf

having separate alpha sets instead of kits to add to a latin or hiragana base

[wheat plume]

Hmm

Yep

Ofc they are biased af

The floor is made of floor

[empty wren]

[wheat plume]

Yeah, idk

And they removed the fucking clock from the taskbar on non primary displays
And they removed the fucking animation to swap virtual desktops .-

[misty saffron]

lana we've had this talk

they had a good reason to remove your beloved animation

[wheat plume]

Yep .... Windows in a nutshell

[wheat plume]

Yeah.... But why not fix it instead of removing it

[misty saffron]

because the fix is very likely not as easy

task priority

to somebody who's worked in software development the reason is clear as day

[young pecan]

Clock is still there for me.

Always has been.

[wheat plume]

Not in 11

[young pecan]

I'm literally using 11 rn and it's there.

I'm using 11 dev, I have the single most up to date release the public is allowed to have.

[wheat plume]

I have to use eleven clock to make it show on my second screen

[young pecan]

It do be there.

[wheat plume]

On your second display?

[young pecan]

Yes.

[wheat plume]

Wtf

[misty saffron]

the rtm build probably doesn't have it

the only one

https://www.vergiliusproject.com/kernels/x64/Windows 11

[young pecan]

You seem to have a lot of OS problems I don't hear about from anyone else.

[timid chasm]

Global warming, what a joke

[misty saffron]

that’s pretty cold for a volcano all things considered

[old marlin]

I am absolutely malding

our shitty power consumption tool

is incapable of delivering correct data via it's API

if I request the entire used power of a year in a single request the result is half that of what I get for each day being it's own request and then adding those

[fickle ore]

did they put u in charge of power usage

just report that value (half a day) and use the rest to mine altcoins

[old marlin]

no

they just made me make a tool so somebody else can do it

[old marlin]

also I can't even mine that many

[fickle ore]

you can code?

[old marlin]

a bit

I work in IT

[fickle ore]

make me a bot for BDO

😄

[old marlin]

roommate already did that

when he quite he reported 40+ exploits to the devs

[fickle ore]

noice

[old marlin]

so uhhh

[misty saffron]

i swear to god every time people find out i make cheats they say “make me a cheat for x”

x being their favorite game nobody gives a shit about

[old marlin]

eh

[ashen spindle]

make me cheat for pong now

[old marlin]

I mean ik a guy that made a BDO cheat

he stopped though caused they never fixed anythign he reported

[misty saffron]

oh you can’t imagine how many guys i know that made cheats

[old marlin]

all the other cheat devs were stupid

and were barely able to copy what he explained

[misty saffron]

why exactly would you leak your shit

[old marlin]

just for reference, on average the hardening oven alone ran on 157kW last year

[misty saffron]

cheat sources are stupidly expensive

[old marlin]

he didn't make money from it

or well

not anymore

[misty saffron]

point stands

[old marlin]

he rarely sold his cheats

afaik he sold the source to his CS one a while ago

not 100% sure on that

[misty saffron]

except for csgo cheats

those are worthless

[old marlin]

he had one that could beat anything in hvh

that was private for like 3 people

[misty saffron]

i can flex too

[old marlin]

ye ik

[misty saffron]

i worked on one that could beat anything in hvh

and made the most money

[old marlin]

he also did tarkov for a while last year

which gives me some info on you

[misty saffron]

oh you can ask any csgo retard who nth is and they’ll tell you

[old marlin]

ye

[fickle ore]

no need to have your panties in a knot over something I wasn't serious to begin with

[old marlin]

lol

[old marlin]

btw BDO had some really broken stuff

[misty saffron]

what’s wrong with sharing a relatable experience

[old marlin]

besides generating money from nothing you could make animations repeat the first frame infinitely which would melt any mob with some AOEs

and flying

• getting stuff in and out of the battle royale area

to the normal game

[fickle ore]

Yeah the code is fucked

[misty saffron]

broken games don’t surprise me anymore

daily reminder you could teleport with doors in eft

[old marlin]

ye

well BDO got all those reported

and didn;t care for months

[fickle ore]

@misty saffron why are you making hacks for csgo tho

[misty saffron]

i’m not

[fickle ore]

oh

[misty saffron]

i used to

might again

[old marlin]

until the publisher changed back again

[misty saffron]

it’s easy money

[old marlin]

ye was the main reason

[fickle ore]

how much money/y?

[old marlin]

there is stupid amounts of money in CS

varies heavily in cs

since there is a ton of competition

[misty saffron]

check Onetap ApS tax filings

will give you all the information you need

[fickle ore]

meh

[old marlin]

if you want an easier way to make money like that you can just host private game servers

for old MMOs

stupid amounts of money in that

[misty saffron]

danish currency

interesting that they haven’t filed 2021 report yet

[fickle ore]

670k€?

[old marlin]

danish krone

[fickle ore]

whats the going tax for illegal activities? 😄

[fickle ore]

Not bad

single guy?

[old marlin]

almost never is

[misty saffron]

2 proper devs and sometimes freelance tards it was

and 1 guy who’s the owner

[fickle ore]

good money nontheless even if it's questionable and probably bad job satisfaction

[old marlin]

just for reference

[misty saffron]

nobody does cheats for happiness

it’s just money

[old marlin]

metin 2 p-servers make like 20k on their opening weekend

and are barely any money

the community is so gullible you can take donations pre launch and they throw money at you

you can close them a few months in and open again

and people don't care

[misty saffron]

“the community” being entire mankind?

[fickle ore]

yeah some ppl do private servers for a job lmao

[old marlin]

and they are close to 0 effort to set up

[misty saffron]

(cp2077 )

[old marlin]

userbase of like 100k people in germany

biggest one has ~70k daily users

[fickle ore]

what the fuck metin2 is such garbo

[old marlin]

yes

dunno why

a lot of turkish people in germany love that game

for some reason

I don't get it

[fickle ore]

yeah same shit happens on lots of others f2p asian grinders that are mainly 2.5D

Shame I'll never make that kind of money working my current job

tbh I think those activities might be forbidden in my country anyho

[old marlin]

oh yea they aren't

but at worst gameforge contacts you

you shut it down

and they don't care anymore

then you just open the next

you can also create assets for them

there are people that just dumped all models from tera

and sell them for 5€ each

[fickle ore]

uff

Or you could make assets for the Unity/Unreal store

probably pays better

[old marlin]

doubt it tbh

that is something you can do 100% passively

essentially

[fickle ore]

I just put all my monies into companies that pay 5-10% dividend, bcuz I havent come up with a way to make money passively yet

with my skillset

[old marlin]

now tell me how to build a crypto farm that has about 80kW of power

[fickle ore]

O_o

[old marlin]

that I would then have to attach to the power meters of the hardening oven

[ashen spindle]

get a 3090ti and overclock it and you're halfway there

[old marlin]

without the maintenance people noticing

lol

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/PP9hrM3mFcE

[old marlin]

can't take the linux community serious anyways

the overall reaction to the LTT videos made them look like clowns

[wheat plume]

LOL

this is pretty close

[ashen spindle]

in theory that is a great idea to have a linux distro to be the same so people can switch over easily

not really when the title already makes the idea sound bad

[wheat plume]

Comes with Google Chrome and Edge pre-installed.....

[old marlin]

the horror

[ashen spindle]

so in the end just another distro that makes something good but gets laughed at ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[old marlin]

obv

[wheat plume]

TBF, im only watching a video about this from this channel cause no one else did it yet

[old marlin]

every distro is bad

except arch

which has no faults whatsoever

[wheat plume]

I like this guy's scripting and themeing content though

I dont want to know how much money hes spent on audio equipment ... his entire wall is lined with mostly audio stuff

if you are this invested into windows and microsoft stuff [so much so that you are using a linux distro designed to mimic 11 as much as possible] then why dont you just use windows?
DistroTube

[ashen spindle]

"if you dont want to use arch just fuck off and stay in windows" is how that also reads

[old marlin]

[wheat plume]

nah

[old marlin]

"switch to linux"

[wheat plume]

he alking purely about the theme

[old marlin]

"if you are used to windows then just use windows"

what is the point

they really do not want linux to be user friendly

[wheat plume]

nah, if you want a distro to look and behave THIS close to windows, then go stay on windows

[old marlin]

while also saying that it already is

[ashen spindle]

but why have that sentiment

[wheat plume]

Linux can be user friendly, WITHOUT having to look and feel like a windows UI clone

[old marlin]

can it really

[wheat plume]

yep

[ashen spindle]

if someone wants to hop to linux why say you can only go with a very different experience and not similar one

[old marlin]

wanna look the LTT videos again?

[ashen spindle]

if they then go dive deeper or not who cares

[old marlin]

and tell me how linus could have just informed himself better or something

[ashen spindle]

why try to gatekeep the literal closest thing to make transition to it smoother lol

[old marlin]

if you come from windows linux is not user friendly

and the community seems to be trying it's best to keep it that way

I don't get why there is so much gatekeeping for the whole thing

I get why people don't want certain distros to change like arch

but the whole thing?

[wheat plume]

[old marlin]

How dare they license software

[wheat plume]

Its got a paid version, Like ZorinOS

which is neat if you like the distro a lot

Ive donated to ZorinOS before, I got the Ultimate edition once

And to ArcoLinux

https://youtu.be/PP9hrM3mFcE?t=776

this true

timestamped for your pleasure

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/vDNL1z3SVb8

I like this concept so damn much
Swap and replace new IO when you need it

Didnt expect this guy to be a Linux user, just a coincidence, didnt end the video because of that

[old marlin]

meh

while the framework laptop is a great idea imo

swappable IO is the weakest part on it imo

usually the case with customizability

cause in the end you just need one setting yourself

[wheat plume]

I still dislike that the touchpad on my laptop needs custom drivers

[old marlin]

how custom are we talking here

[wheat plume]

I installed windows 10 and touchpad wasnt detected at all

[old marlin]

odd

[wheat plume]

Yep, emailed support, they sent me a download link to their custom driver

Quickly saved the driver to USB cause it was a time limited link

Just glad I had a spare mouse

bluetooth, but it worked at least

[fair gull]

wanna bet

its not custom at all

theres basically 1 touchpad manufacturer

[reef patrol]

You can get it injected into your windows 10/11 install USB stick for future use.

[misty saffron]

ok

that’s all great

but why is telegram snitching with motherboard model

[old marlin]

now to wait for a psu

[pale sigil]

msrp?

[ashen spindle]

yes I do believe he will find a psu at msrp

[pale sigil]

bitch

xD

[old marlin]

special circumstances

almost

dunno what msrp of this exact model is tho

[ashen spindle]

dont think anyone set a msrp aside from the FE model for 1200

at least not publicly

[old marlin]

lol

ye paid close to FE msrp

[misty saffron]

impossible with those psu crypto miners

[ashen spindle]

oh god I dont even want to imagine how that would look lol

[misty saffron]

fire hazard

[old marlin]

"proof of energy burned"

[reef tundra]

[old marlin]

guess I got a decent position if I incorporate the hardening oven then

[young pecan]

Strats.

[reef tundra]

Become an oil baron

[young pecan]

Do we class carbon emissions higher than simple thermal output?

[neat oriole]

Thermal output isn’t an issue really

[young pecan]

Does one get bonus OilCoin for burning carbon directly?

[reef tundra]

Oil refineries have a lot of burning outputs

[astral haven]

Yes, alot higher, as it's continuous heating

[reef tundra]

Especially as it makes all simple thermal outputs worse the more you keep in the air

[misty saffron]

well.. that’s essentially what pow is

[old marlin]

there will be people that see the difference

[fickle ore]

sadly tech is capping that high hz prob

to sl0w

[astral haven]

Limit of human vision is 10khz for 50% and 20khz for 40%
10% are less than that

[reef tundra]

Q4 revenue of $4.83B beats $4.52B consensus.

GAAP EPS of $0.80 beats a $0.70 consensus.

Non-GAAP EPS of $0.92 beats a $0.76 consensus.

AMD guides for Q1 revenue of $5B, +/- $100M. That's above a $4.35B consensus.

The company guides for full-year revenue of $21.5B (+31%), above a $19.29B consensus.

Yep AMD's doing well. Good for the underdog

Kinda weird, Intel or Nvidia could buy up AMD if they wanted, probably wouldn't pass due to monopoly laws though

[solar hinge]

Psus are also overpriced currently

some areas sure but not all

holy shit after making a reinstall of ubuntu and doing everything twice I might finally be done with this, it compiled with no errors

well, after I made the buildscript work by replacing folders and making a cmakelist that was required but not in the right path for the script..

whoever makes buildscripts that dont work so you still need to do it manually deserve a clapping

[wheat plume]

LOL

gg sandboxing

[ashen spindle]

also it's somewhat ironic the windows fix (reinstall os and it works) was what I needed to do on linux and never did on windows so far lmao

[halcyon moss]

did you mess up your env so badly? :p

[ashen spindle]

all I did was install packages that seemed to not like each other idk

[halcyon moss]

from the repos? that should not break stuff...

[ashen spindle]

the only external things that were not in normal apt so I had to add something were CUDA and vulkan-dev

had to first tell it where to find those and not directly do apt install

yet somehow it ended so that I could not even do apt remove because it would complain about unmet dependencies..

which I could neither install nor remove the broken things ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat plume]

🤔

[halcyon moss]

yes. very 🤔

[wheat plume]

does it have a connector at the bottom too?

Maybe it might and the dev kits didnt cause the dock wasnt ready yet?

How's that PSU different from any other

[reef tundra]

This one is the first

[cursive summit]

At nothing?

[reef tundra]

Shhh, its the first

[ashen spindle]

Officially rated and tested support for PCIe5 connector

[fair gull]

is that a 2 8ping to 12pin adapter cable directly on the psu?

[ashen spindle]

Somewhat, though the full spec is a 12+4pin with 4 sensors pins but they are optional iirc

https://www.igorslab.de/en/up-to-600-watt-power-for-graphics-cards-with-the-new-pcie-5-0-adapter-nvidias-rtx-3090-ti-makes-the-start-exclusive/

[fair gull]

whats the point of a spec if smth is optional like this

i get optional features

but pins shouldnt be optional

[ashen spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

might be that it's required on cables but will still work if a gpu only has the 12 power pins idk
