well that means they prob use the workstation gpus then

empty wren
#

probably

reef patrol
#

Usually but not always

fair gull
#

its a popular way to render physical stuff like atom behaviour etc tho

empty wren
#

titan v would be perfect for dat

fair gull
#

no

#

those arent even new anymore

empty wren
#

yeah

fair gull
#

quadro rtx series

empty wren
#

bruh you realize large organizations do not just buy the latest each year xD

reef patrol
#

I seem to recall Tom Scott? did a video on ... it was either crypto, deepfake or ... oh I think it was using GPUs to bruteforce passwords based on those massive leak databases. He was using his uni's 2080 or 2080TI? server racks for that as an example.

empty wren
#

maybe if you are nvidia or some jazzz cuz they litterally design them and work with ai

fair gull
#

large orgs do buy the latest each year

#

look at google, amazon and what not

#

even many datacenters see servers come and go with gens

reef patrol
#

Buy - But not necessarily replace*

fair gull
#

yes

#

usually its additions

#

well DCs often also see replacements

#

but its def a thing

#

many big unis also buy new tech all the time

empty wren
#

well we do have a hololens

#

but 1

wheat plume

Always has been

@ashen spindle

#

5600X was a 26fps improvement

#

worth it

ashen spindle
#

neat

fair gull
#

kinda tempted to buy a new pc in the next few yrs

old marlin
#

new USB cables gave me trouble with my DAC again tho

#

and stock one is just way too short

ashen spindle
#

next few years? oh yeah that will be worth it with zen5 or w/e

empty wren
fair gull
#

like next yr

#

or the yr after

#

but ya shortages are my worry

ashen spindle
#

zen4 end of tis year, zen5 might also be next year already

fair gull
#

its not really getting better

ashen spindle
#

and cpus are not really an issue to get anymore

fair gull
#

gpus

#

cpus id prob go intel anyway

empty wren
#

Old GPUs are so overpriced and new ones are scalped almost to double on some cases

fair gull
#

my cpus so far were all intel except 1 amd cpu that basically spoiled my personal opinion on them

ashen spindle
#

I mean intel might be the choice at the time, hard to say

#

they might also have another rocket lake at that time idk

empty wren
#

Alder lake incompatibility mm

P = U * I

old marlin
#

tf is goin on here

ashen spindle
#

uhh that was some motherboard setting causing it iirc?

old marlin
#

apparently irrelevant

ashen spindle
#

ya

old marlin
#

might just be ryzen 5000 on x370 stuff

ashen spindle
#

370? thought you had 470

old marlin
#

uhhhh

#

570

#

right

ashen spindle
#

"Lower than 100% = The motherboard is telling the CPU that it is consuming less power then it actually is."

old marlin
#

ye

ashen spindle
#

so its basically just higher power limit

old marlin
#

but the CPU checks it itself anyways

ashen spindle
#

for a 5600x that makes no difference ye

old marlin
#

since the CPU doublechecks

wheat plume
pale sigil

#

Surprised they are lubed

yeh right?

Ok seriously though we do have a separate Keyboard Channel for content like this 😛

empty wren

Smh you can throw keyboard anywhere in a keyboard server

wheat plume

SURELY that is not a monitor???? ITS SO CURVED WTF

reef patrol

No it's sound dampening foam.

wheat plume

ooohh

But how when the web browser is not working!

young pecan
#

From there you can boot Linux apps in Windows like they're native.

#

Supported:
Copypaste, alt tabbing, pinning apps, snapping apps to screen area.

#

I should also mention it suggests you need to be on Win11 insider, it's reported to work just fine on Win10 build 2004.

#

Another cool function you can do on Win10 is install Kali and have both desktops working in tandem in seamless mode. Super cool.

i wonder if square decides to be as assblasted as tile was

reef tundra

Id imagine the fees to be extraordinarily high like always

chrome estuary

i actually know someone who uses square for their business

reef patrol

Guess they ain't hip.

reef tundra

They are missing the swag factor

Ah yes, AI will magically fix electronics

Meanwhile AI in my videogames would commit suicide by their own molotovs thrown

"Software will fix it" is the techbro equivalent of "I have faith in Jesus"

#

Is there a game yet that is ran by an actual deep learning AI?

#

I know Hello Neighbor 2 will have one

reef tundra
cursive summit
#

Which is cool since it actually learns to fuck you over

reef tundra
#

Shadow of mordor and shadow of war has it

cursive summit
#

But deep learning imho is the future for game AI

reef tundra
#

Captains will remember encounters, be physically scarred, refer to other slayn captains, betray you, refer to moments saving you from certain death

#

AI in starsector is also pretty insane

#

Ofcourse the AI in S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is advanced too

#

One of the main features the Xray engine offered

cursive summit
#

Just lots of time spent hard-coding stalker activities

#

DL AI should automate that process

Save money by just stealing it

ashen spindle
#

apple just trying to find ways to go up to 3 trillions

empty wren
#

Apple may be big

#

But not big enough to steal all those machines

empty wren
#

No because you have a non iphone probably

empty wren
#

So much of world is also android

#

Apple is mainly just in the US

#

Apple could definitely disrupt here

reef tundra
#

Then we only need to nuke the US.. tactically

empty wren
#

A maker of a musical duck refused to give it NFC when I questioned him

#

Because apple did not give access to it

#

Such a stupid thing but it has some sense

empty wren
#

Maybe that is the case

#

But Xiaomi too is popular worldwide

#

Especially in europe

#

Alright

#

....

#

Oh well

#

But

#

Europe and America are not the only markets

#

India and china exist

#

Oh forgot about em

#

Yeah not much apples there

#

Yeah

What is a computer

young pecan
#

Oh this.

old marlin

fml

#

is there any secure way to have like 10+ people share a single account in windows

#

without it being a secure password

#

cause people would immediatley forget that

chrome estuary
#

Context?

old marlin
#

we got a meeting room

#

used for daily morning meetings

#

and the boss wants it to be permanently unlocked so people can access it

#

but also wants it to have access to the entire network

#

big nope

chrome estuary
#

^ yeah pretty much just have the meeting leader log in.

old marlin
#

unsure if there even is one for those

#

it is basically heads of all departments

#

so obv everyone wants to be a meeting leader

#
  • afaik the people present are not super consistent
chrome estuary
#

Is there not like a CFO or CTO that comes in?

old marlin
#

afaik usually no

chrome estuary
#

Ah

old marlin
#

if this was in a room that you could close off it would be no problem imo

#

but the entire setup is basically the first thing you see once you enter the office part of the building

chrome estuary
#

Damn

#

Make an authenticator that forces them to put in a randomized password every day

old marlin
#

will take half a week till I am asked to get rid of it

chrome estuary
#

They'll likely always forget how and go to you for help before every meeting.

old marlin
#

tops

chrome estuary
#

I'm surprised it would get that far

misty saffron

@prisma crag on meeting

wtf this mean?

crisp granite

needed to fill the box because their product certainly isn't compatible with linux

wheat plume
#

ah yes, 3.5mm jack not compatible on Linux /s

#

LOL

#

Speaking of headphone jacks, the front jack on my case is working again

crisp granite
#

noice

wheat plume
#

ikr

ashen spindle
#

how about people using linux know if it works and over 50% of windows users have no clue so a sticker saying it works has value

wheat plume
#

I need to buy a cable extension to use the rear jack cause that sounds better

#

but whtf does "monitor compatible" mean?

ashen spindle
#

idk how am I supposed to know

#

I dont even know what that is that you posted

misty saffron

that box just assumes nobody in their right mind would use linux

that is surprisingly much less than I thought it would be

1300$ for new oled tech is almost half of what I expected

though clearly I much prefer a lower price since I am eyeing it lol

It's very good indeed, I was considering buying it

Mby it runs 360hz at integer scaled to 21:9 "1080p"

@solar hinge really going all around the country today

well

#

maybe he became a dick

#

doubt it

#

got a decent deal at a 1080ti

#

for current times

empty wren
#

Oh yeah then in that case probably not

#

I saw an Alienware with one or 1070ti for $500 complete system

old marlin
#

lol

#

he paid 400€

#

which is lower end oiif the price range

#

but tons of scammers around

empty wren
#

Yeah

old marlin
#

he saw mine 15 minutes after filing a police report about one

#

and I was nearby

empty wren
old marlin
#

nah it is stupid rn

empty wren

Did he get his money stolen?

ashen spindle

the real trick is to not use it and use snacks that dont crumb bc those are most often of the bit healthier variant

I rarely eat chips but yeah they are unhealthy processed unknown substances

true quest
#

what mouse you have

empty wren
#

Swiftpoint Z

#

If you are curious about it, 👀 will be in stock this upcoming week

#

But probably the last units for a long time if ever

#

They do not know if they will be able to produce anymore yet

true quest
#

goddamn everything is running out

empty wren
#

Yeah

#

They have stock for quite a while sold out recently though

#

They did find some Kickstarter edition mice

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Maybe they will skip on producing more and move onto v2

#

They do have a new sub variant coming

#

Tracer exists and I think the real reason the main flagship cannot be made is due to some missing parts

#

Tracer has no vibration, no gyro/accel, no oled and extra feet.

true quest
#

does yours have vibration

#

and the other stuff

empty wren
#

Yep

#

Tracer just has deep click on only two buttons

#

Which is left click

#

And the one behind it

empty wren
#

If they can add cad+drawing pressure driver to the new variant they will coming out with Creator will probably tide some people over

#

They better not say they will allow movies on the oled display 🤡 I do not even know why someone suggested it on a mini low pixel display

young pecan
empty wren
#

Yeah a shame the future is uncertain

Still Dell monitors certainly are not bad

old marlin

dell does not make panels

ashen spindle
#

"At the time of the original press release in January, the AW3423DW was listed as being available March 2 in China, March 29 in North America and April 5 in EMEA (including the UK)."

so if they now just say spring, probably those dates + some days/weeks later I guess

Personalized ads are problematic privacy wise, adds aimed at specific articles / content are not and telemitry based on these ads is also not at odds per se.

true quest
#

not 100% impossible

thick elk
#

I just mean, telemetry does not have to be bad for privacy. You just have to be sure not to follow a user around, and not store any information that identifies the user.

empty wren
#

Like if they wear tinfoil

reef tundra
#

Users who like this content would like these kind of ads

#

kind of deal

empty wren
true quest
#

the type you find in adult sites tech articles

empty wren
thick elk
#

it can be more specific, the review section may have other other adds than the news section or even the subject of the article may net different ads.

empty wren
#

Just do not use the web simple

true quest
#

it is, after all, a corporation's wet dream

empty wren

thick elk
#

An ad provider really does not need any real info about it's users. It could just as well make do with click coming from this article type of thing.

reef tundra
#

User data is also a liability. Especially in countries that have duty to preserve privacy like in the EU

thick elk
#

It just needs a paradigm shift from user based tracking to content based tracking.

reef tundra

But with modern tech it could be done better and more efficient.

someone else in the "after q2" iin another server tried this and it said July 8th for them

they preordered before I did though

its not an official site so that could be accurate or months off

Wtf is this comment

misty saffron
#

the dude just has fast boot enabled

#

which skips most post steps

wheat plume
#

They don't trust the "industry leading" anticheat

#

Custom kernels are only going to be used by the 3% of people who know how to build and replace kernels on the deck

ashen spindle
#

spoiler alert once there is a custom kernel that circumvents EAC, that would see a spike in usage

#

so you can disagree all you want its a valid point still

misty saffron
#

i very much doubt people would willingly release an eac emulator

ashen spindle
#

not while there are easier methods sure

misty saffron
#

nah, like at all

#

making an emulator is an incredibly hard task

#

people would rather profit off of it

ashen spindle
#

yeah but linux means you have some no lifer who does it for fun anyway

misty saffron
#

oh people do it for fun

#

but if you knew the cheating community you would’ve known nobody would release shit

ashen spindle
#

either way, lets assume it wont be released, point is it is an option and they clearly value not risking that over supporting the 10 more players that wont play on windows instead

#

given there is a shit ton of open tournaments with prize money and such

#

yeah, very understandable

wheat plume
#

Fairly sure deck will have more than 10 people wanting to play Fortnite on it

ashen spindle
#

guess they can install windows on it then

wheat plume
#

If they know how

#

It's less clear how to install windows than installing modern Linux
Since you absolutely must manually partition the drive on windows
You cannot skip that step

crimson wigeon
#

It's not rocket science

#
  • people will probably make guides for dummies on how to do it
wheat plume
#

This

#

You can't skip this part

#

Even I wasn't sure what I had to do here the first time I did it
But Linux is easier in that regard

ashen spindle
#

on a new drive you usually only see one or two partitions anyway so it's really not difficult

#

and if you select the system reserved one and click next im pretty sure it wont just let you install it on a partition thats too small

fair gull
#

what

#

delete all drives

#

and just hit next on the unpartitioned shit

#

theres 0 need to partition a drive if u only want windows on it

ashen spindle
#

I wasnt sure if it shows the part thats reserved for drive cache in there or not tbh

#

been a while since ive seen the screen

fair gull
#

nope

#

only useable space

#

on a new pc or clean reinstall you can literally yeet all parts by deleting them

#

and just click next

#

windows creates all essential parts itself

ashen spindle
#

so, we're back to it being a valid reason of not supporting fortnite on linux if they think its a cheater risk

fair gull
#

imo a completely valid reason

#

also

#

with the rise of linux gaming

#

comes linux viruses

#

steam deck might give linux a market share that makes viruses viable to target an audience of linux users especially since not everyone will be a linux god

wheat plume
#

I'm worried about those

fair gull
#

im not

#

was predictable

#

and will just end like windows

wheat plume
#

Linux viruses could potentially be easier to get installed

#

cause you could try to infect packages in a repo

#

and then anyone who downloads that package using apt will get infected

#

Or have it call to a download server while the package gets built on AUR in Arch

fair gull
#

well

#

sounds like its own demise

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wheat plume
#

Fortnite could just kick players using the standard or SteamOS kernel

#

If the are so worried about customs kernels

#

If you are using the generic or steam kernels then it will let you play

#

There.... Tim's worries debunked

ashen spindle

and how would you prevent someone from having a custom kernel that pretends to be steamos?

empty wren
wheat plume
#

Can that be easily done?

ashen spindle
#

im asking you

wheat plume
#

Idfk

#

I've never built the kernel before

ashen spindle
#

so if you dont know how would you know if that solution is valid

crimson wigeon
#

Similar to how it's done on Android systems

wheat plume
#

Well... If you have two kernels named the same thing on your system
Idk how you could make sure you loaded in the right one

ashen spindle
#

not really an issue if I only use one and want to cheat

wheat plume
#

Unless you somehow install the OS immediately using your custom kernel

#

Without it getting the chance to use the included one

ashen spindle
#

im not saying it is impossible to make linux builds safe, but as long as I can think of easy ways to spoof my way in I wouldn't dare say "this way it would work easily"

wheat plume
#

Is it easier to cheat on windows or Linux?

#

Assuming you don't swap to a custom kernel before on Linux

misty saffron
#

both

wheat plume
#

They are both just as easy?

misty saffron
#

yes

pale sigil
#

Yes

wheat plume
#

lol
Then why is Tim so worried???

#

Just block custom kernels ez

pale sigil
#

Because he's a moron

#

And doesn't wanna invest into it

wheat plume
#

Invest

#

What

pale sigil
#

Time is investment

wheat plume
#

To add a check?

#

Doubt it takes long

pale sigil
#

Damn it I just realised I could have prob got a ltt desk pad and water bottle sent to mum in Mexico to bring home

#

To avoid postage and imports

#

Cos the wooting desk pad ain't coming out for a while 😂

ashen spindle
#

Just ask Calder for a raw slice of silicon in deskpad size

wheat plume
#

Xd

pale sigil
#

Ha

#

Mate tbf

#

Prob not wrong

#

The entire contents in his bag is silicone

#

Man is obsessed

wheat plume
#

Xd

#

It's a versatile material

pale sigil
#

Prob gonna have a silicone desk

wheat plume
#

:')

wheat plume
#

I love the new OSDs

#

The current ones are so fucking MASSIVE .-. I hide them with an extension so I dont have to see them

misty saffron
#

it just does that sometimes

wheat plume
#

O.o

#

is it unbalanced?

misty saffron
#

forgot to turn it off after cmos reset

misty saffron
#

it’s just off now

#

my laptop fans is almost at full blast if I do anything at all since installing Windows on it

#

I open file explore, fan comes on

thermal paste issue

wheat plume
#

oo..

misty saffron
#

i replaced thermal paste on my macbook and the fans have never kicked in since

#

best thing i’ve done to it

wheat plume
#

ooo..

#

idk what screws this laptop case uses but they are REALLY SMALL

fair gull
#

prob normal m2 with like pghilips or jis 0 screws

#

they arent small

fookin iPhone Y shaped screws

fair gull

fair gull
#

its like torx but only has 5 corners

reef patrol
#

Oh no no. They definitely have Y shaped ones too.

fair gull

fair gull
#

hmm

ashen spindle
#

plan worked then

reef tundra
#

Not sure you measured it correctly. 0.1V difference is not much to work with.
Typically three pinned switches work the following.
1 : COM / common
2 : NO / Normally Open
3 : NC / Normally Closed

#

Perhaps you need to measure the resistance across the pins in the different positions

#

Atleast that is what I would do, to further figure the pinout

reef tundra

#

Oh well

#

But 40/49 does not look good

Cannot even do a good in factory job

130k tesla car with that quality of welding

empty wren
#

Computer companies usually add more cooling to prevent throttling

reef tundra
ashen spindle
#

or is it just looking bad but works the same

empty wren
#

Should look.clean unlike that

reef tundra
#

It can crack and disconnect

empty wren
#

Yeah and depending where it is car may not be able to move

ashen spindle
#

what

#

that makes no sense, even a clean weld would stop motion

#

unless you mean something moves so close to it that this one would block it?

empty wren
#

Yeah

reef tundra
#

Also remember you are paying 120k for this car

#

That is high end luxury tier

empty wren
#

Made with home depot parts and welds like thatduh

ashen spindle
#

look I could pay 500k for a car and if it's just looks in a place nobody sees it I really wouldnt care

#

hence my question if it matters for stability

We decided to book a flight to California to visit Newegg this week. Newegg was not a part of this decision. We will be there whether or not they show up to the meeting -- but we're flying across the country and will make it on time, so we hope they come out of their front doors. We have informed Newegg via email that we will be arriving at their doorstep with cameras and that this is the company's opportunity to have a discussion. We're just letting you all know in case they put PR spin out before we arrive. We will afford Newegg the opportunity to explain itself, but after seeing customer complaints and receiving insider emails this past week, we have decided it is best to take our questions to their doorstep. Thank you to our Patreon and GN Store supporters for making this type of journalism possible.

In anycase it is not an acceptable welding job for a 120k car

we want to introduce more digital bookkeeping in our company

adobe acrobat is pure shit

they need a signature in front of a stamp

which acrobat straight up can't do

#

and the only way to correct text in stamps is to white it out manually and to add a text field above

fair gull

thats why most comps still stamp and sign manually

#

or seperate them

id say thats a country specific thing

Sus

empty wren
#

It is good to install umknownsmm

empty wren
#

What is the part number or do you not know?

#

Did you buy the switch off of a website or no?

#

Switch.

#

Oh

#

Okay

#

What is voltage from one far end to another at each switch position?

#

I saw that, but like Pincus said com/on/off

#

And com I thought was usually on one far end

#

You mean 2-3?

#

Yeah

#

Is it a metal rod or a plastic rocker switch?

#

Okay so it has four pins then and 3 are accessible to you from the outside.

#

Maybe your actual first pin is hidden because it is com.

#

So if you had all your pins accessible the first slider position would be off

#

Beacuse either 1 or 2 would be ground

#

The last two pins would always be for communications

#

And 1/2 would need power

#

Common ground, or simply common, isn't a physical ground; rather, it's just a reference point in a circuit for voltage measurements. ... That way, the circuit is said to have both positive and negative power supplies.

#

So your first pin needs 5V in the form of whatever you are using to power it

fair gull
#

i mean is there no part# for anything

empty wren
fair gull
#

u see with these different voltages ud need an extra circuit that would detect what voltage level its at and then turn on different outputs

ashen spindle
#

I don't think it's fair to say something is hard if you are effectively trying to make something work with only half the parts

fair gull
#

a normal switch switches the output lead

#

or input depending on ur use case

#

what even is this device u have

#

a physical switch or some transmitting/receiving thing

empty wren
#

^

fair gull
#

so

#

theres also an rf receiver

#

ok ya this isnt meant at all for turning on and off shit then

#

but for higher voltages = more speed

#

on a motor

#

id guess its prob easier and cheaper to judt buy an rf transmitter/receiver that already does what you want

#

you could

#

so youd need a microcontroller

#

board

#

soldering stuff

#

programm it

#

and then prob also some case so its not shorting on anything

#

at that point you can prob get led controllers for the 20bucks they cost

#

i mean the soltuion would be

#

build it completely yourself

#

as in mcu, rf chip etc

#

why

#

you just proposed the same

#

to just build an entire circuit just to interpret the voltage differences

empty wren
#

He just wanted to use a microcontroller tonymm

fair gull
#

its equally hard to build a new rf capable thing

#

the difference is you can buy attiny things with rf already

#

and only do the code and soldering

shadow minnow
#

What’s the thing you are trying to do Tony?

fair gull
#

instead of basically bodging shit obto this

fair gull
#

tino is trying to repurpose an rc transmitter/receiver thing for multiple led controlling

empty wren
fair gull
#

which is just wasted effort imo

#

reuse such a controller for a battlebot or smth

#

this is like buying a supercomputer and its accomoanying nuckear reactor to then display the time 24/7 on a 14" tft display in a mcdonalds

empty wren
#

Well anyways that explains 200,300,400

fair gull
#

yes but youre basically not using 90percent of its functions

#

just to save 2bucks on an rf chip

halcyon moss
#

esp32

#

(no idea if it can read voltages :p)

fair gull
#

complete mcu with rf transceiver

#

so you can build an entire thing for 15bucks

#

yes

#

will be way easier

#

ud have full control over the received signal

#

and ud need an mcu anyway even if u dont replace the receiver

#

wait u only said control leds

#

control leds isnt servos and motors

#

so

#

you have an rc car

halcyon moss
#

if you just want to control leds.. look into wled

fair gull
#

and want to control more than the 2 led outs it has

#

why not start with that

#

instead of "i have this and want to control multiple leds"

#

anyway well start this somewhat fresh

#

so you have the mentioned rc thing

#

and a car

#

and now you want to control what leds turn on

#

remotely

#

so same controller as the driving or different

#

what are the led channels for

#

brake?

#

ah ok

fair gull
#

na have to read some stuff later

#

i mean imma get back but the modt viable given the scenario is reading the voltage

#

many modern mcus have adcs built in so u might only need a small board

#

most mcus like arduino nanos dont have huge pcbs

#

so ya arduinos can map input pins between 0 and 5 v

#

if the arduino is 5v

#

that would mean the arduino itself is enough

#

nanos are 5v

#

so that would be perfect

#

and the ide is simple

#

the function u want is analogRead()

#

gives u a value from 0 to vcc in

#

so 5v since the nano is 5v

#

then youd only turn output pins on and off

#

and this controls the leds effectively

#

if you wanna go super safe ud just bodge transistors into the existing 2 led controllers

#

as in attach wires to the 2 channels

#

have a transistor in the wire

#

and control the transistor from the nano

#

that way youd prob get more juice but still variable leds

fair gull
#

idk if those have adc built in but they arent too much smaller than a nano

#

to be able to read the analog voltage

#

up to 5v

#

or 3.3?

#

time to read up

#

seems to be 3.3v

#

ya

#

so not useable

#

the nano isnt super big and u can easily desolder the headers

#

so its flat aswell

#

yes

#

the code is as easy as on a trinket

#

since arduino dumbed down the c quite a bit

pale sigil

Why was Rust chosen as the language for wooting?

fair gull
#

wooting is a company and they speak dutch/english

crimson wigeon
#

Because it's the future

wheat plume
#

Rust is the meme language that will guide the future!

fair gull
#

its not even a meme coding language

#

but ok

wheat plume
#

yeh I know xd

ashen spindle
#

because it's not a highly specialised app where it really matters what you use and they wanted to use rust

fair gull
#

i mean afaik rust rivals c in performance

#

so /shrug

crimson wigeon
#

I dunno, for something input related you definitely want all the performance you can get

latent mural
fair gull
#

no?

ashen spindle
#

yes wrong wording, didn't mean it's slow or so

fair gull
#

last time i checked

#

rust code gets compiled to native binaries

latent mural
#

it does

fair gull
#

not that cpp is a good lang

wheat plume
#

(I read that as CCP....)

fair gull
#

no ccp is great

latent mural
#

but

latent mural
#

C++ is very high maintenance

fair gull
#

all low level langs are

latent mural
#

Right, and Rust seems to fall in the middle of low level and high level. Rust does have unmanaged code, but that has to be explicitly stated, otherwise the code is managed. Kinda like C#

fair gull
#

im more than aok with rust

#

especially cause its kinda hard to fuck up

#

imo the whole borrow checking itself is already worth using rust

latent mural
#

Yea, which is why I like managed languages, because you can't really fuck up memory unless you try. In low level languages like C++ and C, if you don't delete an object on the heap, you can cause memory leaks, and then it just becomes a mess.

fair gull
#

prob easier on c than cpp

#

as in causing mem leaks

latent mural
#

Prob

#

But the benefit of low level languages, is direct control over hardware and memory

fair gull
#

also afaik simon is very confident in his rust skills

#

thats why analog or rgb was rust

Does anyone know the price of the wooting two he
