oh right thats ODI

[summer cedar]

Both men's and women's.

They sucked in the test match though.

I haven't checked today.

[pearl elk]

T20 is silly anyways, like big bash rules

who needs glowing wickets

[summer cedar]

Test match. IND 2nd innings 133/8. Day 3. Lead by 8 runs.

AUS will win this easily.

Women's team has no idea how to play regular cricket.

[pearl elk]

thats the trouble with T20 it breeds sloggers

so they get to ODI or Test and get out for peanuts

[summer cedar]

Yep. Given India has lots of talent, they should segregate the teams.

Men already have two teams.

Women should have the same.

I hope Ferrari boy isn't in the team today. 🙏

[pearl elk]

he did well last time though didnt he?

[summer cedar]

11 runs from 13 balls. Yes.

Something like that. 🤣

Should be kicked out.

We have SO MUCH talent available to take his place.

[pearl elk]

oh I thought he had abit of a run after that horrible triple duck

maybe they should sub him for the woman he cheated with, she'll probably bat better 😹

[summer cedar]

Wait, which woman did he cheat with?

[pearl elk]

with how he's batting I dont think it matters 😹

[summer cedar]

Dat's twue.

Good, good.

All those explosions and dust clouds, indicators of a glowing economy.

[mild gust]

What do you mean

[summer cedar]

What tracer said.

Stock market will crash.

I mean, the most obvious thing in this situation.

[mild gust]

This is a net positive for those who sell oil 😂

[summer cedar]

Only if they can. Their tankers are stuck and their refineries shut down.

For Russia, yes, most certainly.

Even there though, there's the question of price.

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

Yeah, so not profitable for Russia.

Just using the religion as a crutch

He was called out for drinking booze and many other things not allowed in Islam.

[fleet tangle]

I've seen a couple of things about him recently, basically attacking the Iranian people for celebrating the death of the ayatollah.

[mild gust]

Apparently runs train on women with his friends

[mild gust]

That was fucked

Guy doesn't even know anything about Iran

Sneako anyways

[fleet tangle]

Runs train on women?

[mild gust]

Taking turns b2b sleeping with women in a room together

Usually just 1-2 women to a bunch of them

Passing them around

Because that's what respectable people do.

[summer cedar]

Lol. AUS won the test match against IND.

Their target was a PALTRY 28 runs.

Pathetic. 🤮

[mild gust]

Rekt

[summer cedar]

-- The oil spill coming from the destroyed oil depots hit by Israeli strikes have leaked into some of Tehran’s sewage system, igniting a “river of fire” on the side of the streets in the Iranian capital. --

O sheesh!

and -- Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen says Israel’s attacks on Iran’s oil facilities were an escalation in the war and “we will see additional escalations in the coming days”. --

Well, at least the weather will be warm.

I guess it's the collapse! FOURTH wicket! 💣 Captain out for a duck.

Kiwi player got hit on the thumb. Ouch. ⚕️ IND 219-4 from 17.5 ov.

I bet its fine when youre installing stuff which the distro kids have setup for you

but considering every distro is different there isnt one which just works

Im not blaming the package manager Im blaming the foundations of the OS not being strong enough

everyone has their own way of doing things so its basically like if there were USB-A->Z

this Sunshine one because on Wayland and Cosmos apparently I cant use RustDesk yada yada

its always a compromise it seems with this stuff

you get this cool feature at the cost of X, Y and Z

maybe I should just nuke it and do Kubuntu or Mint

that'll be my 4th distro in as many days lol

Im just trying to remote control this Pop!_Os from my windows so I dont have to keep typing on my laptop

I can ssh thats no biggy but I want to write code on there without echoing in via bash

[median wraith]

Good morning

[pearl elk]

I honestly dont care as long as it works

that one had GPU acceleration so it seemed like it might actually be fast

TinyVNC is for 3DS this says

I cant install it anyway

I might just use KDE it has remote desktop built in

but its very difficult to find that information upfront before you choose to install something so its just trial and error

or I could just run docker on my windows build and do the server development locally instead of remotely on linux

well done

flathub doesnt work without a huge f about on this one for some reason

I gotta add it to the manager using flatpak snakpakshak or some snatch

probably because Im running stock, feel like theres some killer scripts out there Im missing

yeah I could get RustDesk to show the PCs, just wouldnt connect

something about Waylands screen compositor or something

its remote desktop so its rendering into the application

the network connects but it fails trying to initialise the viewport

KDE will work, apparently it supports Wayland and remote screen share

[summer cedar]

Le sigh
Only 7GB left on C: instead of 20GB.

I suspected a Windows Update.

And lo and behold!

[pearl elk]

ugggh forced update

[summer cedar]

No, not forced.

But PRE-downloaded.

Hence, the missing SSD space.

[pearl elk]

oh it'll force it soon enough, thats just the preview

[summer cedar]

--- [Quick Machine Recovery] New! Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) now turns on automatically for Windows Professional devices that are not domain‑joined and not enrolled in enterprise endpoint management. ---

--- New! A built‑in network speed test is now available from the taskbar. ---

That one I like, if it works right.

--- [Camera Settings] New! You can control pan and tilt for supported cameras in the Settings app. ---

Wokay.

[pearl elk]

too bad your network will be clogged with forced updates to every remote machine MS turned on for you

[summer cedar]

I disabled that.

I don't do peer updating.

--- [Built-in Sysmon] New! Windows now brings System Monitor (Sysmon) functionality natively to Windows. ---

I wonder if this is different from Event Viewer.

AND easier to use.

[pearl elk]

they still need to fix everything in the control panel

and bring back the volume mixer

[summer cedar]

--- [Desktop Background] New! You can set WebP (.webp) images as your desktop background ---

Yay!

[pearl elk]

thats it, Im installing OS/2

[summer cedar]

--- New! You can preview search results by hovering over a result and selecting Preview to see the content without opening it. --

I see resource hog!! AND crashes!!

--- [Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT)] New! This update adds support for Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Windows 11 Arm64 devices.---

Don't care.

[pearl elk]

is windows even worth it on Arm64?

[summer cedar]

--- Improved: You can now open a new File Explorer window more reliably. Holding the Shift key and selecting the File Explorer icon on the taskbar, or using the middle mouse button, now opens a new instance of File Explorer instead of the current one. ---

Uh. I just used Windows + E.

But, okay.

[pearl elk]

it'll still crash when you have too many open

[summer cedar]

Not on mine.

I've had over 20 open.

No problems..... yet.

[pearl elk]

20 is rookie numbers

[summer cedar]

🤣

[pearl elk]

just one page of my tabs 😛

[summer cedar]

That just means you are inefficient and slow. 😛

--- Improved: Display-related performance improvements to help reduce the time for a PC to resume from sleep ---

[pearl elk]

Im old so it goes with the territory

[summer cedar]

The DISPLAY was the problem?

[pearl elk]

the OS was clearly the problem thats why MS "fixed" it

I dont use file explorer copy anymore, teracopy ftw

[summer cedar]

Don't see anything terrible in this preview.

No problems.

[pearl elk]

7gb for junk by the sounds

[summer cedar]

Time to see if it has bricked PCs.

[summer cedar]

No. 7GB remaining. So the update is around 12 GB.

Oh, interesting.

People are complaining of NVidia drivers failing with the update.

[pearl elk]

when arnt Nvidia drivers failing these days

[summer cedar]

This is the update I currently posted.

Only seems to have four or five people and some dude in a production environment, handling 400 computers.

[pearl elk]

sounds like Nvidia and MS

its a good idea moving the heat outside

Oh wait, Windows AI just launched a nuke at an island. 💀

In case you're wondering WHY your Win drive is running out of space.

This is where Winny-san p00ps.

I THINK the last time I used hibernate - which was a LONG time ago - I had a bunch of things running, heavy duty stuff like AI gen.

I ASSUME Window-sama hibernated everything.

--- When a computer hibernates, the contents of RAM and all the CPU registers are saved to the Hibernation file ---

Aha! So everything was saved. Twat-windows.

Daekesh and Hevedy have mentioned it before.

This is how you get your hibernate space back.

Turn it on, if you need hibernate. Otherwise, 🤮 .

I wonder how many of Windows' system files are redundant.

My user folder's APPDATA (the hidden thing) is like around 40GB in size.

There's a Packages folder in there that's 4GB all by itself.

I need to see if there's a program that can clean that folder properly.

Reddit just recommended it to me.

Thank you. 👍

Pretty much

This is interesting.

Vewy, vewy interesting.

You're wrong, sirrah!
It's a 2+8 minutes paper.

[summer cedar]

Sorry, but this part just looked weird in my head.

Like the two of them were literally supporting each other with their beaks.

|| Yes, I know those aren't beaks. ||

0.81 minutes per frame for the new simulation.

That means the progress in technology did help quite a bit.

[mild gust]

They also said they didn't use a neural network for it at all

So it's all raw compute

[summer cedar]

Yeah, fully Jee Pee You! Maybe See Pee You too.

Now when we can scale it I'll be happy

[summer cedar]

So, I found an interesting 'feature' with the latest Win preview update. Whenever I change a tab that's playing one of my livestream platform videos, the tab automatically switches out of the video to the platform's web page.

Apparently, Win update did something to Chromium and input key detection.

[mild gust]

This Found TV series is nice. It might be a bit heavy for some, but I surprisingly find it to be well-produced.

Since it comes after, yes. 😛

[summer cedar]

Turns out it's not just changing tabs. If I resize the tab in which the video is being played, it exits the video. 😄

Love this 'feature'.

[summer cedar]

I did though, for now. Have got a cool 50GB free on C out of 195.

These 'simulator' games, like Construction Simulator are nice and all, but highly tedious.

You play for two hours-ish and then, it's just a grind. MMO without MMO.

[pearl elk]

alot of games are grindy AF these days

[summer cedar]

Probably the KnC influences.

[pearl elk]

yes ofcoarse I want to restart my entire car collection from scratch and build an entire civilisation with a pickaxe

[surreal marten]

how good is crew motorfest?

[summer cedar]

This is a silly answer, but if you like racing games....

[pearl elk]

it'll be great when it shuts down in a year

[surreal marten]

I bought it played an hour and refunded...didnt explored much thats why asking

When it launched i thought it was better than fh5

[summer cedar]

There was a time I liked games along the lines of NFS Underground.

These days, not so much.

[pearl elk]

better off getting gamepass and playing Forza Horizon if you want that car festival fix

[surreal marten]

thats what I will do for Fh6

sadly i bought fh5 on steam

[summer cedar]

Do you need GamePass for FH?

I think you can just get it from MS Store.

🤷‍♂️

[pearl elk]

even then Im not the biggest fan of those types of games, its kinda cool but there was some on PS3 called Motorstorm which were more fun for that type of racing

I def wouldnt pay full price for FH myself 😛

[summer cedar]

If I want to feel the wind in my face, the games I go to are F1 2025 and F1 2026 on EA Play, also with Game Pass.

God, the simulation is SO GOOD!

[pearl elk]

Im more of a fan of illegal street racing so I like NFS but they kept screwing it up

[surreal marten]

nfs was good before...

mw, underground 1-2

[pearl elk]

before they started adding mum cars to the roster

[surreal marten]

mum cars?

[summer cedar]

non-racey types.

[surreal marten]

ah

[pearl elk]

OG NFS games didnt have anything under a hypercar

[summer cedar]

I think they had licensing issues, actually.

With the car companies.

[pearl elk]

then they added Porsche and it was all downhill from there

[surreal marten]

u mean exotic cars?

[summer cedar]

No, he means the stuff regular people might buy.

Which you wouldn't race with.

[surreal marten]

oh yea what I meant was they only had exotic cars?

I would rather tune a non racey type car and beat an exotic car

[pearl elk]

I love my BRZ but you really think I wanna drive it in a game 😛

[summer cedar]

Yeah, it's fun to beat a bad boy with a gentle car, but would you ever really race with it? Nyah....

Breaks the immersion.

It's got a bad rep, unfortunately.

[pearl elk]

in FH5 you do complete engine and drive train swaps, its not even the same car at that point

restomods are awesome but if thats the focus of the game it could be done way better, atleast Underground made the SUV focus make some sense with the photo comps

funny how no one races SUVs though isnt it, any sort of racing is basically custom chassis theres no production racing for em

the issue is that when you make the cars similarly capable the unique driving behaviour of each car becomes less important and in turn impacts the character, since the cars are the characters of these games its a pretty big deal

[summer cedar]

Aren't goblins and gremlins the natural frenemies of kangaroos?

[pearl elk]

I think its just an attempt at zoomer slang

[summer cedar]

sus

[median wraith]

Hows doing everything here?

[summer cedar]

Everything's good.

There's a new, possibly-scam-according-to-two-people-here game engine.

[pearl elk]

I havent destroyed my entire server using AI yet

[summer cedar]

Other than that, lots of missiles flying.

[pearl elk]

all game engines are a scam

they arnt engines at all, none of them have mechanical parts

for electronics they are called motors... game motors

[median wraith]

The numbers Maison

[pearl elk]

so glad game engines dont run on fuel

[median wraith]

All to coal

[median wraith]

And electric supply here was almost as expensive lol

You all are relationships experts

When it moves from meeting someone into a situationship?

[pearl elk]

its almost like these wars are a big drain on resources, you dont even want to know how much fuel they waste on flying fighter jets

[median wraith]

Those are free, you should play civilization and such games

[pearl elk]

you move that quickly?

I would call meeting someone into situationship more of a DTF boat... not really a ship at that point

[median wraith]

Oh siet

[pearl elk]

were you hoping for a love boat?

I think they have AIs for that 😅

[soft night]

happy mario day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV-ixaBc8qo

[pearl elk]

is that wario goo?

[pearl elk]

your TAA looks great

[summer cedar]

This werewolf moon is very interesting.

[median wraith]

how many balls

yes

[proud jay]

you like balls?

[pearl elk]

time for debug visualisers?

blue noise

yeah all I know is blue noise has some funky compression so you can get more depth out of it for less processing

[median wraith]

🤓 ☝️ It depends

[pearl elk]

I think Hevedy wants to explore a situationship Dieter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdN06E6Xn9E

this is how I know about blue noise

[median wraith]

Well if you ask me two questions today, you are trying harder than the person that wanted to meet me

maybe you conquest me

[summer cedar]

Low complexity can certainly lead to high fidelity situationships.

Just remember that if you spot an artefact in the render, run away.

[pearl elk]

I like big BRDFs and I cannot lie

[summer cedar]

You may not lie, but you can certainly, as a roo of notorious standing, hop around the truth.

[pearl elk]

Meanwhile I do MMO things

[summer cedar]

Or does MMO do things to you?

[pearl elk]

Its not really MMO though, just similar systems. Im still making a MP heroy shooter-like thingo

[summer cedar]

I see. Skip the MM.
Just do the O.

[pearl elk]

Using a few open world systems for spice

Maybe MOOBS could be my new acronym

Multiplayer Online Open Battle Service

Then people could make Mooblikes

William Faucher coming out with a free pack!

[summer cedar]

Ah yes, Norway. The 54th state.

[mild gust]

Lol

[summer cedar]

After Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and the Strait of Hormuz.

[soft night]

yes india 52nt state

[summer cedar]

52nd le sigh

[mild gust]

Only if I can move there

[summer cedar]

Is this like a separate thing from the regular Epic free stuff?

[mild gust]

Yes

[summer cedar]

I had to search separately for it.

Ah. Thank you! 👍

[mild gust]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uCXbhcfVAQc

What a legend

[summer cedar]

Ah. The grass is PCG.

Lol. For a second, I thought he scanned those too.

I was like.... nah.... 😄

[mild gust]

Scan each individual blade

[summer cedar]

ikr.

and then give it away for free.

[mild gust]

Sounds like a baller to me

Now if only he can make some megaplant grass

[summer cedar]

So, this Mary Dandyballs... er, Maridalen is this single ruin set?

[mild gust]

I think so

I havn't downloaded yet

I just got home

[summer cedar]

Yes. It's just that.

Ah, I see now.

It's intended for cinema.

Now, it makes sense.

I was wondering why you couldn't just model this quickly in Blendoramus.

RealityScan is pretty cool.

Nice of Epic to make it free, too.

[mild gust]

Scan gang

[summer cedar]

Actually, drone swarms would be ideal here.

[mild gust]

Did they

or was it him 🤔

[summer cedar]

Use your brain chip to control 15 drones.

[summer cedar]

I assume Epic because you install it through their launcher.

If he made the decision, kudos to him. 🤷‍♂️

[mild gust]

I mean he uploaded it

He can choose what is charged for it

[summer cedar]

Wait, are you talking about the asset or RealityScan?

I was speaking about the software.

[mild gust]

Asset

Ah

[summer cedar]

Ah.

b00b. 😛

[mild gust]

😛

Reality scan gang

[summer cedar]

But yeah, 15 drone swarm would work.

Control with your brain chip and take photos.

[mild gust]

Lol

Neural link

[summer cedar]

Yep. Or laptop.

Either way, it is better than holding a stick up.

[mild gust]

It's looking finally

Hard drives are restocking

Tis a good day

Also gas is going down

[summer cedar]

Can't speak for drives, but the gas thing is temporary.

Investors are choosing to trust in Mein Farter for a day.

[mild gust]

Well

[summer cedar]

He said, "This war is over."

[mild gust]

All the stores I looked at last week and were out of stock like I told you

[summer cedar]

So.... er.... yeah.

[mild gust]

Are now in stock

So winning

Not all drives are in stock

But the ones I need are

So I'm happy

[summer cedar]

I won't be surprised if oil goes up again tomorrow.

[mild gust]

It won't

[summer cedar]

Because the war is over?

[mild gust]

Almost

It may as well be over

[summer cedar]

Right.... and you believe this... because?

[mild gust]

Why not

[summer cedar]

Ah.

Good reason.

[mild gust]

😛

[summer cedar]

note to self: avoid gas stocks period.
