was going to be an awesome website

[fervent granite]

[pale thistle]

Back from the dead boys

[brave field]

Nice

is there a third party xbox live alternative out yet for the original?

Something like Wiimfi?

[pale thistle]

Naw it's still being developed

[brave field]

ah

[pale thistle]

Closest we got is Xlink

[brave field]

When the day comes, submit your score to "xbox live"

be number 1 on leaderboard

[pale thistle]

Probably lol

[fervent granite]

wish I could mod my 360e but I'm not sure it can even be modded

had to borrow its hard drive to save a laptop I had so it hasn't got any storage either

the fuck is this I'm not even doing anything

[marsh plinth]

Do you think I can stream GTA 5 Story mode with that PC?
CPU: R5 3600
GPU: RX570 8GB
RAM: 15GB 3200Mhz
Game is installed on SSD
Im streaming in 720p 60fps with 4,5k bitrate

[brave field]

Aside from h.264 encoding being pretty awful-looking on the 570, yeah

If it looks too bad to you, CPU encoding should work but its going to affect your game's performance a bit

story mode runs super well though, probably will be fine

[marsh plinth]

ok thank you 👍

Im worried because in other games like f1 2019 my stream fps drop to 45

[brave field]

Do you use GPU encoding at all?

[marsh plinth]

no x.264

[brave field]

I'd give GPU encoding a try, just to see if the quality is good enough for you

[marsh plinth]

I have had that on, but it effected my games fps too much, due to the rx570 😦

cpu encoding works fine because I have 6 cores

[brave field]

GPU encoding shouldn't affect game fps very much on a 570 though

I guess if you're already pushing 95%+ GPU usage without the stream, dedicating resources to the hardware encoder and copy for the preview window would do it though, ah

anyways uh, story mode should work, the game isn't multithreaded very well so it should be fine

[marsh plinth]

I will try keeping it on cpu encoding, but if I get frame drops, either in stream or in the game itself, I will just switch to gpu encoding

thank you for the help 🙂

@fervent granite a 360 fat and 360 slim can be unless it's a spacific board of the slim

[somber kindle]

I have a database

on my Raspberry PI

how can i make a External access

so everybody in the internet can access my database

with username password etc.

[spring condor]

make sure its host is 0.0.0.0, open the port which is being used by the DB

what DB are you using

[native sentinel]

Do you guys think AMD is better than Intel?

[light sinew]

Amd is a better bang for your buck for anything in retail use. They outperform almost if not all of intel’s product line for regular consumers.

Intel still has more deals with manufacturers and sells more because they used to be the best and are slowly declining unless they get their shit together

[brave field]

Wouldn't say better bang for your buck completely right now

3300X still doesn't exist in many countries where 10100/f does

10400 vs 3600 is less a big deal now that the 3600 is back to $200 after being $300 for a few weeks

However its still $50 more for the 3600, kinda unfortunate

[fervent granite]

does this game have good gameplay?

[spring condor]

yes. you can also play it in work

[jovial tide]

If you're a software engineer you play that very often

(maybe idk)

[idle trail]

What kind of discord bots would you guys like to see

I want some inspiration for some unique or new commands for my bots

Any ideas y’all have I’d love to hear

[polar girder]

Good automod

[pale thistle]

My 1.1 Original Xbox got a revival

[brave field]

@fervent granite very frustrating gameplay

Like a roguelike but without the parts where you win

On the plus side, I learned a bit of git and moved my stuff to github

After rm -rf'ing it all because the tutorial was outdated, and then having to recover it

[fervent granite]

[bright scarab]

does anyone know why im getting 5 fps with intel graphics on my laptop while playing LOL is it normal ??

[spring condor]

yes it is normal

[bright scarab]

you really are a word of your man. thank you

[light sinew]

Probably a super beginner question but I cannot comprehend the difference between lists and tuples. Tuples just don’t let you change the values of the things inside of them?

Do they have any use later on for more advanced things

[spring condor]

Yes, they can be really useful if you're using them in dictionaries. Tuples can be used as keys because they're immutable

[light sinew]

Thank you :)

How do I clean my gaming keyboard

[plain sparrow]

is it mechanical?

if it is then use the key cap puller and take out the keys and dust it

take a pic of the keyboard before taking the keys out

@jovial tide

[jovial tide]

I don't have a key cap puller

It didn't come with the set

[plain sparrow]

so it is mechanical

buy one

[jovial tide]

Cant

[plain sparrow]

then try taking them out gently

[jovial tide]

Can't I just use a vacuum cleaners output side

[plain sparrow]

mechanical keyboards are ez to clean

[plain sparrow]

u should never do that

[jovial tide]

Why

[plain sparrow]

it creates static electricity

its bad for the keyboard

[jovial tide]

This is what my keyboard looks like btw

[jovial tide]

Ehh

What

[plain sparrow]

wait ill send a link

https://youtu.be/_M42Ri3dqoc

[plain sparrow]

@jovial tide

[plain sparrow]

its bad for thr kb

thats it

[jovial tide]

How is it bad

@plain sparrow
How do I remove my space bar without a key cap and damaging it

[plain sparrow]

see using a key cap puller will be better

[jovial tide]

But I can't buy one

[plain sparrow]

Idk

[jovial tide]

Hmm

Use a spoon you twat

Why tho

To take off the space cap

Just shove it in there like you shove your fingers up your arse and hope you dont break anything

Hmm

Interesting

Very interesting

[plain sparrow]

Lmfao

[jovial tide]

Smh
People these days are just so rude

[plain sparrow]

Ik it’s sed

But this was very sed

[jovial tide]

Yea

[edgy oak]

i will now live here hello

[jovial tide]

Yo

[potent spear]

level 5 associate let's gooooo

[edgy oak]

kekw

[jovial tide]

Wish I was an associate

[vapid grove]

@jovial tide you can make your own key cap puller with a paper clip

FWIW I just blow mine out with compressed air to clean it.

[hot rose]

Guys what is a good 100% keyboard

[jovial tide]

That's what's it's called

[jovial tide]

Is there a program which allows me to change my keyboards led lights and mouse lights
I'm getting really tired of these preset colours

[vapid grove]

depends on if your keyboard has addressable zones or not

and is even RGB or just a static color ofc

[jovial tide]

What's addressable

[spring condor]

Your kbm should actually have support for changing colours

If it's just preset colours then you can't change em

[jovial tide]

There's these color presets
Blue red green
Green blue red
Cyan purple and piss yellow

[vapid grove]

What kind of keyboard is it

[spring condor]

Check for your model, see if it has support for color changing

[jovial tide]

It says it's a scorpion K632

[vapid grove]

Probably just presets based on a 2 second look at it

[jovial tide]

So is there a way to change it or not

[vapid grove]

no

[jovial tide]

And my mouse

It says it's a scorpion m221

[vapid grove]

probably same deal with the mouse

[jovial tide]

That sucks

[pale thistle]

My original Xbox 1.1

[lilac fable]

my friend said that his windows isnt showing up, he also said that it ws showing up before now its not

[jovial tide]

Hmm
So the windows in the how's isn't showing huh
Maybe replace the windows and it might show up

[lilac fable]

ok, one sec

[jovial tide]

Not that type of windows

[lilac fable]

lmao

[jovial tide]

I meant the windows that allows you to see through things

[lilac fable]

lmao

i meant wndows for pc, if ur being seruous

[jovial tide]

Ik what Windows you meant

What type of windows is it

[lilac fable]

probaly windows 10, ill ask him

windoqws 10 home

[jovial tide]

Ohh

Yea I'm not a computer genius
Sorry m8

[lilac fable]

all g

@brave field u up

[brave field]

Hello

What does he mean when he says his windows isn't showing up?

What is the error message?

[lilac fable]

ill ask

it might be false alarm

he just told me "yes, wait no, i forgot to activate"

welp, my b

[bitter niche]

anyone know python?

[cold elbow]

Even people that know Python will tell u that they don't know shit

So go straight to your question.

[bitter niche]

i am trying to make a music player in python that has a countdown to tell you when your song ends

but for somereason it keeps coming up as syntax error, i checked the code everything is fine

so i need someelse to check

so yeah

anyone down to help me?

[strong saffron]

Post the error message and your code.

[crimson sentinel]

Thoughts on brave and BAT
But yeah free crypto i wont complain.

[gaunt vector]

Is this valid

I just got a new 3090

[jovial tide]

[pliant lynx]

Anybody familiar with cisco packet tracer?

[prisma citrus]

You got scammed, RTX 30 series has three GPU coolers instead of one

Even 20 series has two

[brave field]

@crimson sentinel would not trust

Its the whole reason I avoided Brave when looking for a browser

a browser with its own monetization and rewards system is a red flag imo

better ways to get free cryptocurrency if you want to get into that

also BAT is a terrible cryptocurrency imo

Doesn't have an end goal or a use other than "pay people for doing this task in a web browser" and "get content creators to have slightly more money"

but even if it looked more promising as a cryptocurrency, why is your browser the focus?

Not projects fueled by it, mining or proof of stake, something else

why a web browser specifically?

[crimson sentinel]

Okay they did update the store its BAT and ETH which you can purchase the stuff from.

[crimson sentinel]

Similar to LBRY/ODYSEE
Because it's so much more then commodities.

[brave field]

hmm

I'm just a little skeptical, monetization in browser is fishy to me, though I'm not very educated on BAT and Brave's new system

but I do see what BAT is going for

just don't like how they go about it, I guess. Feels weird when a web browser steps outside of web browsing.

[crimson sentinel]

Chrome Spyware - You basically your activity monitored for advertisement
Firefox - Agenda pushing

[brave field]

true

but neither advertise rewarding the user, which is the big thing for me

I just always have to ask Why is this company doing something that benefits consumers?

and I can't find it. Just an incentive to use BAT instead of the normal way of ad revenue? Why not just force it on people? Why reward users?

For google's data collection, they give you their suite of drive, office alternative, a fast browser, access to loads of otherwise inaccessible settings on youtube, and more, and they get your site history and analytics about how and when you access sites

with Mozilla, you can opt-out, and they get their message out

But how does paying users benefit Brave?

[crimson sentinel]

You get their ads on the browser instead
You get random ads
no data is collected no personal information

[brave field]

mm, I'm missing something

gonna read up on it, but I still don't see what brave has to gain from letting the people viewing the ads get any of the money

outside of maybe using it to advertise "Hey, our web browser gives you money"

[crimson sentinel]

Yeah have a look you are missing a lot
Like even the basics of it

[boreal carbon]

I should get back into unity and game dev as a whole

[sturdy axle]

bruh for some reason my pc idle temps are terrible but the temps on load are amazing

[sturdy axle]

can someone help me code a python game

[fallow forge]

i need some help with my internet speed

I have a plan for 200mbit/s, but my pc says my connection is 100mbits/s

Is this an issue with the service provider or my pc?

[midnight stag]

where's the second fan

[brave field]

@fallow forge You tested on other devices?

Because your OSes reported speed, an app or speedtest's reported speed, and your modem/router's reported speed can all differ

and the ISP usually advertises an "up to" value instead of what you actually get

[fallow forge]

yeah the up to value is 200

but networkproperties says its a 100mbps connection

where the service provider says 200

and aside from that, my internet speed stayed the same after the upgrade from 100 to 200

while the wifi did go to 200

[brave field]

What does your network adapter support?

[fallow forge]

the mobo?

[brave field]

could be limited by the hardware or driver, though its unlikely for it to not support higher

yeah, the integrated one then

should say in your motherboard manual or on its website

[fallow forge]

its a killer E2400 gigabit ethernet controller

so i figure 1000

[brave field]

hm

[fallow forge]

the cable is going directly into the modem aswell, nothing in between

[brave field]

if the port on your router or modem is also capable of gigabit, it should be working fine
Maybe check for a new driver release, or a setting under device manager?

[fallow forge]

drivers are up to date

i dont know where i can check the modems max supported speed tho

[brave field]

if it comes with a manual, there
probably easier to access its settings though

[fallow forge]

oh i got it here

also gigabit

[brave field]

router settings page say anything?

You can force gigabit on some

[fallow forge]

how do i access that

[brave field]

uh

open cmd, use ipconfig /all

put the gateway ip into your web browser

find something relevant to wired connections or such

[fallow forge]

yeah idk the login to that

[brave field]

should be printed on the sticker if it hasn't been changed

[errant temple]

hello

[brave field]

might be "admin" and "12345" or something as well

[fallow forge]

it doesnt change if you change the wifi password?

[brave field]

You have to log into it to change both

but you can change the wifi password without changing the modem login

they're not the same password

[fallow forge]

ah, okay

username is just gonna be admin?

[brave field]

depends on your modem. Some have "admin," some don't even ask for a username. Try admin, if it fails then look online

most brands keep the same username for multiple modem models, shouldn't be too hard to find, but you may have to search some

[fallow forge]

nope, cant find it

default doesnt work

key on the back of the router doesnt work

[brave field]

unfortunate

maybe try another port then? Could be just that one set to not automatically swap to gigabit

[fallow forge]

switching ports didnt change it

i just noticed the descryption is expressVPN TAP adapter

but expressvpn isnt even running

[brave field]

is it actually connected to that one or is it just listed? Its possible you're connected to expressvpn without the app's window open

It should be listed in cmd/PS regardless of if you're connected or not, but if its connected, that's a likely cause too

[fallow forge]

nvm thats ethernet 2

idk man i dont get it

everything should support 200

[brave field]

yeah

you have something else you can connect?

game console (not a switch though, acts weird), android phone, laptop?

[fallow forge]

i can try my ps4

[final acorn]

anyone want a custom pinger

[brave field]

custom... pinger?

[fallow forge]

My ps4 says its at 126.6mbps

[brave field]

sounds reasonable

same cable and same port as your PC?

[fallow forge]

Yep

[brave field]

might be good to just restart your PC and see

assuming you're using windows 10, you'll want the actual restart option instead of shutting it down and turning it on again

fast startup makes restarting the only way to completely get a fresh load of windows, the shutdown option is now just a renamed hibernate that closes your apps

[fallow forge]

oh i turn off my psu every day when i go to bed, so it shuts down completely

[brave field]

while windows is running?

[fallow forge]

shutdown first

then when its off i turn off the psu

[brave field]

Its not a full reset still, hibernate and fast-startup shut down persist without power

why Microsoft, why

AFAIK the two are identical except hibernate saves the states of installed apps where fast-startup shutdown doesn't, but the windows components, services, and drivers stay

[fallow forge]

used restart, nothing changed

[brave field]

hmm

I guess next is to uninstall the network driver and let windows grab another, try the troubleshooter, or boot into a Linux live USB and see if the issue persists there

the third option would be my goto for seeing if its your windows install being the problem or if the network adapter in your board is damaged
or maybe the modem is detecting your adapter and the settings are per device instead of port
But using a whole different OS has its own factors so it doesn't consistently show, hm

[fallow forge]

i have no clue how to do that

[brave field]

hm, grab Puppy Linux or Xubuntu iso and a 4gb or larger USB drive

back up the files from the USb drive to something else, and then burn the ISO to it using RUFUS or something of the sort

restart your PC, boot into the usb drive, and click "Try [WhateverDistroYouGot]"

head to network settings, as long as you didn't choose arch getting there is basically the same

check if its gigabit or not in there

[jovial tide]

Gericom

.inc

[fallow forge]

imma destroy my pc trying to do all that

it is possible that its just the cable

Been googling a bit and people say i need to go into the device properties and change speed & duplex to auto negotiation or 1000mbps, but that dont even show up

[hazy breach]

oof

[fallow forge]

@brave field i tried my moms laptop, same cable and its also locked to 100 on a gigabit connector

so its just most likely my cable, or something at the providers side

[brave field]

o

thought your PS4 was using the same cable and port when you tried it before?

uh, here, no?

also sorry for delay, was taking a test

if its working on some devices its not your ISP

but cable, if your PS4 wasn't using the same cable but did use the same port, is likely then

Should be able to replace it cheap with Cat5e or Cat6

Just not Cat5 though, Cat5 is limited to 100mbps

[fallow forge]

it was the same cable in my ps4

[brave field]

weeird man

so wireless works, the PS4 with the same cable works, but your PC and mom's laptop do not

all the wired things using the same cable, same port and all

[fallow forge]

the ps4 was at 126 tho

[brave field]

that's bizarre

[fallow forge]

not 200

[brave field]

126 is likely a speedtest resulting from down/up to Sony's servers or whoever hosts it for the PS4, the "up to" 200 + whatever system overhead or slowness on the server's side, and the 100mbps or 1000mbps on the computers is the link speed, they'll be able to communicate to each other through your modem at that speed regardless of what your ISP offers

Can you check link speed on your PS4? Could also be 100mbps but report higher for some strange reason

[fallow forge]

eh

already unhooked my ps4 and everything

im just gonna call my provider tomorrow and get a new cable, if that doesnt work ill look further

[brave field]

ah, sounds like a plan

Hope all goes well 🙂

[fallow forge]

same

[vivid pawn]

anyone have a use for a text spammer?

also, does anyone know how to setup a server?

[eager mural]

@brave field I appreciate you lol. You're really helping ppl out a lot single-handedly

[brave field]

Thanks man. Helping people or trying my best to is enjoyable. Happy to help! 🙂

[gaunt vector]

Its literally a fucking cardboard gpu

[jovial tide]

lol

[prisma citrus]

[fallow forge]

@brave field you up?

[brave field]

@fallow forge I am now

[fallow forge]

yeah nvm

i bought a new ethernat cable, you said cat5 only supports up to 100mbps but its 1000, cat6 supports up to 10000

[brave field]

base cat5 should only be up to 100mbps, and cat5e at 1000mbps, no?
Sorry if that was misinformation, I was sure cat5 was 100, cat5e gigabit, and cat6 10 gigabit

online sources agreeing

Sure the cable is cat5 and not cat5e? Guess it doesn't really matter either way, does it work?

[fallow forge]

comes in friday

all stores are closed because lockdown

[brave field]

agh

[arctic yarrow]

It's not much, but it's my first attempt at making a video cutter with moviepy:

It seems to work decent.

[fervent granite]

It's called Activity Monitor but fucking finally

[brave field]

Learning 3 programming languages at once is a terrible idea, isn't it?

For someone with very, very little experience

I don't know what I'm doing, I've had a far better time with Python but my college course is for Java, and every time I look up a guide to do something in either one, the websites are flooded with "Why are you using that? Use Javascript!"

[fervent granite]

I'm having trouble looking for stuff to learn objective c with

[brave field]

I hear Swift is easy, but who knows how skilled the people making those claims are

You prefer objective c over it?

[fervent granite]

I prefer objective c because I want to get into tweak development

[brave field]

tweak(s?), interesting

[fervent granite]

jailbreaking

[arctic yarrow]

@brave field The way my programming professor said he likes to teach is you learn the basics of how to do programming, and the rest is merely syntax.

So while you're in the beginner stages, learn on one language, then start learning more languages as you become proficient.

[brave field]

hmm

I guess I just don't feel confident about learning Java

Its verbose and I can hardly get anything right

but its what the course I'm taking is focused on, I can't just quit it either
I don't know if I should learn what is enjoyable, or what is necessary

[fervent granite]

You think windows 7 is a good replacement for windows 10 for bootcamp?

I feel like 10 is too heavy even with an enterprise version, and I really only need it for certain programs I don't feel comfortable running in parallels

[brave field]

LTSB/LTSC 10 should be a wee bit lighter than 7 Home, though you still have to use an app or deal with poorly made tweak programs if you want lighter than that

wouldn't really use 7 now though, even if you have to spend a little extra time on 10

[fervent granite]

might stick with what I've got for now then

[brave field]

oh uh, 7 has the advantage in idle memory use, forgot that

[fervent granite]

7 just runs like a dream, it's even snappy on parallels with aero turned on

[brave field]

Don't need to use gpedit to kill defender because defender barely did anything then

Now it works, but can sometimes eat ram for no reason

[fervent granite]

10 takes a good 5 minutes to calm down after bootup

[brave field]

You using an SSD?

[fervent granite]

yep

boot times aren't a problem actually, it's just that windows loads so much shit at once on startup that usage goes to high for a bit

[brave field]

hm

1703-1809 and 2016 LTSB have been great for me

[fervent granite]

20h2 might be the culprit

[brave field]

20H2

Latest version of Windows 10 is always a nightmare

I give them a good 12 months before even thinking about updating

couldn't imagine being on an unedited install and getting drive-wiping "bugfixes" every Tuesday

[fervent granite]

think I'll go ahead and setup ltsb then actually

[brave field]

Note LTSB lacks almostt EVERYTHING UWP

[fervent granite]

bold of you to assume I found uwp useful

[brave field]

No photos app at all and everything else is windows 7 version

Which is really all +'s except having to manually set a photo viewer

and not having WSL

oh wait, another downside is having to use internet explorer to download a usable browser in the pre-2019 releases

[fervent granite]

yeah that's a dealbreaker gotta cancel the download /s

[brave field]

unrelated, but I'm slowly starting to hate Windows Defender

[fervent granite]

Isn't it actually good now though?

[brave field]

It marks my hosts file as malicious because it blocks their telemetry

and it marks any cryptocurrency mining programs as highest severity too

Having to add exceptions for safe files is a bit annoying, the the hosts thing is just scummy imo

but yes, its good otherwise. A bit too good, its hard to get malware when I'm intentionally downloading it for testing

disabling it is also a pain, because it just causes errors in your browser's download and in explorer without actually telling you its defender blocking the file sometimes

[fervent granite]

I guess you could always add your host as an exception

[brave field]

Yeah, but the fact that they did that at all is just... ugh

Add an exception and now you're vulnerable to actual hostfile hijacking

M$ really has to cry about 0.0.0.0 telemetry.microsoft.com

[slender trellis]

Have you guys downloaded OTVDM? It's a software/patch that can run old Windows 98 and below games that were 16-bit for 64-bit Windows 10.

[polar wigeon]

[alpine helm]

When people download mods on PC is it done by adding the files to the gta folder? (Sorry if I’ve worded it weirdly) I’m not planning on doing this btw it’s more in relation to a different game

Also Idek if this was the appropriate chat to ask in lmao

[light sinew]

We have a gta chat like this called #gta-tech-support

You shouldn’t definitely ask in there 👍

[alpine helm]

Tbh it’s not really gta related that’s why I asked here I just wondered if it worked the same way

[light sinew]

If you mean steam games in general yea it’s dropping files into the game through the properties.

It’s super easy on steam because the file location can be found in one button click basically

[alpine helm]

Ok thanks guys I just fixed my problem now anyway 🤝

[slender trellis]

https://danika.jukor.net/win9xandnt6.html
Does anyone tried this?

[brave field]

Have not

but on what systems can you even do that?

modern chipsets lack support for pre-7, for VMs you should just use another virtual drive, and that ram issue is a pain

might try it just for fun though 👀

[slender trellis]

As long as Windows 10 is set to MBR

I did follow the guy's instruction at this video and finally gotten native MS-DOS on my Windows 10 install. So, I decided to put 98 on my newer desktop but then it took me to "Now safe to turn off your computer" screen before booting to desktop.
https://youtu.be/rCRsyNVIXgo

https://youtu.be/EJEf8pMI1nc

[fervent granite]

I thought windows 10 could only use gpt disks

[slender trellis]

Majority of PCs have GPT that includes Legacy option for MBR Drives. Older users who bought PCs from 2009 to 2011 can run W10 on an MBR disk.

Intel Processors made in 2020 only shipped with GPT. Meaning you cannot install older Windows or DOS.

[brave field]

That's CPU-side and not chipset-side?

[slender trellis]

Exactly.

[brave field]

Didn't know the CPU played a large part in that, interesting

I was sure it was the mobo chipset in charge of that

[fervent granite]

I thought it was a motherboard problem because most new ones don't even have bios support anymore

[brave field]

All of the modern mobos I know of support BIOS/"legacy"

[slender trellis]

Most of Hackintosh community prefers GPT than Legacy.

[fervent granite]

probably because macos would probably throw a fit

[slender trellis]

Is there a thing where I can get both GPT and Legacy simultaneously on boot?

[fervent granite]

Like partition a disk with both?

[brave field]

You can have both MBR and GPT disks, but you can't mix and match for booting most OSes AFAIK

[slender trellis]

Most HD have GPT while one is an MBR for older stuff

I know that disks can have a gpt partition and an mbr partition but I've heard that having that config can cause problems later on

[slender trellis]

I'm thinking that Clover bootloader has the option to boot Legacy from GPT, correct me if I'm wrong.

[brave field]

rEFInd can as well

your board needs to support CSM though, like with most others

but there seems to be no issue using CSM to boot, since its what most modern systems default to with an MBR disk

[fervent granite]

Can confirm, I used to run a triple boot with ubuntu, windows 7 and windows 10

windows 10 could boot regardless of whether the board was set to csm legacy or uefi

on a side note, why the hell do I need to download .net framework TO INSTALL .net framework???

[brave field]

[fervent granite]

[brave field]

You ever install zshell on Windows for familiarity?

[fervent granite]

I've never done anything with linux-on-windows tbh

it might be a good idea, but whenever I need to do something on linux I prefer doing it on actual linux

[brave field]

makes sense

I've been wanting to use WSL more since my bash knowledge is terrible despite using various distros for years

Ms store won't let me install Linux distros to something other than C drive though, eugh

Then use xming or something of the sort to use any apps with a GUI

[fervent granite]

didn't even know wsl allowed guis I thought it was purely cli

[brave field]

Apps can't actually draw their GUI, which is why you need another program to help with that

but after that's installed, GUIs work just fine

you can also remote into a desktop environment if you really want, but that's kinda pointless imo

[fervent granite]

might as well make a vm at that point yeah

would wsl guis use windows theme elements or elements from their respective distro?

[brave field]

Windows

When you have the desktop environment, that takes over the rendering

read something just now

WSL is supposed to be getting its own display server soon 👀

Wonder how it'll go then

yea but coulnt find any official

I guess those on aliexpress is ok

[brave field]

won't ever be official ones, yeah

Now to see what happens with DirectML and AMD FidelityFx

Will you be able to use two at the same time? How will things go with Vulkan? What about platforms other than windows? Will one triumph over the others?

gonna be interesting to see it unfold

Is there a utility or something to make windows update?

Recently installed ltsb but windows update in settings just doesn't want to download; it's stuck at 0% even after waiting hours for it

[brave field]

Windows update assistant

[fervent granite]

it tells you it isn't compatible with ltsb

downloading ltsc now so hopefully this makes a difference

[fervent granite]

Hell yeah it made a difference, even though it was downloading at dialup speeds this thing actually works now

For those guys with high def monitors, does your windows look like this? Because windows does not like my macbook's display which is 2880 x 1880

Just looking for a controller, or one of those tablets with built-in controls?

If those expandable ones that clip to the sides of a normal tablet are too hard to come by, maybe an Xbox Series controller with one of those clunky tablet stands on the top, and hope the tablet isn't too heavy?

Reinstalling realtek audio driver doesnt work?

[sturdy axle]

no, the same thing comes up when i open it again

[fervent granite]

It’s a MacBook Pro running on bootcamp

[kindred temple]

Why?

[fervent granite]

Because OS X is awesome

[kindred temple]

You buy mac for mac os, not windows

I genuinely dont get bootcamp

[fervent granite]

I use pharmacy software that only runs on Windows :/

[kindred temple]

Because thermals in mac is so assss

[sturdy axle]

do you know a fix/

t?

?

[fervent granite]

Thermals are actually better on Mac than on Windows in my experience

[kindred temple]

Yeah, thats the only thing i would do, light shit thats only on windows

@sturdy axle nope, only reinstall seemed to work.

Is audio playing though?

[sturdy axle]

did you get this message too before?

[fervent granite]

For some reason Windows always rubs on max clock speed while macOS will change it depending on if it needs it

[kindred temple]

Yeah, reinstall worked for me :/

[sturdy axle]

yes all audio works fine, its just realtek audio console thats a problem

[sturdy axle]

do you mind showing me where you got your drivers from? a link maybe?

[kindred temple]

@fervent granite because mac os have a voltage control built into the mac system.

[fervent granite]

You’d think Apple would include this in their bootcamp drivers

[kindred temple]

https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/pc-audio-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software literally 1 google search. @sturdy axle

Also stop using replies, i am reading the chat.

Jeez.

[sturdy axle]

sorry

[kindred temple]

No because apple wants you to run mac os on macbooks

[sturdy axle]

i tried usign those drivers and drivers from my motherboards website, none of them seem to be working

[kindred temple]

Its impossible without a proper software hack

[fervent granite]

Honestly it’s my dream setup, I main macOS and Windows only for when I need it

[sturdy axle]

so you got the message aswell and just reinstalled them and it worked?

oh yea nevermind, i used those drivers and when downloading it said something like fatal error cannot download or something like that

[kindred temple]

Yeah

[fervent granite]

Even with all the software loaded windows takes up less than 30 gb with like 20 gb to spare, plenty on macOS

[kindred temple]

Imma guess ya waiting for the parallels compatibility layer for M1 macbooks?

Same.

[sturdy axle]

@kindred temple are you using 32 or 64bit based windows

[fervent granite]

Tbh I don’t even think it’ll run well, Rosetta 2 is great but running a vm under that is a bit of a stretch

[kindred temple]

Doesnt matter, 32bit windows is literally just windows with 4GB cap. But the answer for me is that i run 64bit

Not gonna lie though john, the only shit i run on laptop is ms word

Nothing else

[sturdy axle]

ok so under the windows section of the realtek website, you downloaded the 3rd one down?

[fervent granite]

I'm guessing you live in your browser then?

[kindred temple]

[kindred temple]

On laptop yeah

But for desktop i need a windows

Because gaming

[fervent granite]

A desktop isn't practical for me since portability is important for me as a student

[sturdy axle]

this one?

[fervent granite]

web apps are getting better, but nothing beats actual software like office or adobe programs

[kindred temple]

Yes. @sturdy axle

[sturdy axle]

ok thanks. One more thing, did you fully uninstall everything including the audio console app before reinstalling those drivers? @kindred temple

^^

[kindred temple]

Yeah, obv

Will it handle rdr 2 and gta v?

Cuz with my current 630 2gb i get 6 fps in rdr

[wary axle]

Hmmm wonder why 😂

lmao that 1650 costs more than my whole pc

which was previously used

[compact sierra]

And the ps4 controller works on the playstation 3

As well as the ps5

[fervent granite]

futurerestore from ios 12.4 to ios 14.3 was a success

[kindred temple]

1650 base is kinda horrible compared to the super.

Lack of NVENC basically rules out any serious GPU accelerated application, and youre missing a little of those horsepower that makes it worth it.

But for me, i would avoid buying GPUs IN GENERAL right now.

stocks are broken at every level, you will be scalped.

[brave field]

1650 has NVENC/NVDEC though

It's Volta's instead of Turing's but you aren't really losing much?

[kindred temple]

meh

[brave field]

Just a wee bit slower at avc encode

[kindred temple]

isnt it like extra 40$ or sumn?

[brave field]

Not sure about right now but the 16 series pricing has always been a joke

Can't possibly be better when they're not in production at all

$40-60 extra sounds right though, for months ago

[kindred temple]

nope, 10$.

[brave field]

NVENC on 1650 is better than VCN 3.0 on the 6800 XT

[kindred temple]

literally 10$ extra at launch

[brave field]

Launch prices o

Man when I saw the 1660's original MSRP I completely denounced that entire GPU series

[kindred temple]

fucking quick sync is better than VCN

and quick sync is like what, 7 years old by now?

[brave field]

Uh, should be 10 in a few months started being used Jan 9, 2011

First gen quicksync is faster at avc yeah

[kindred temple]

oh shit yeah

2011

i thought theyre started with haswell

[brave field]

But I guess VCN gets credit for having HEVC encoding where qsv1 doesn't

Still sad

For any productivity stuff you can upgrade from a 6800XT to a smartphone

In Python, what is while True: referencing here?

I looked up how to make an infinite loop but I don't understand what is being tested for True. Is True referencing the python file actually being run or something else?

[stone harbor]

its called an afterburner

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterburner

[compact yacht]

yep

[spring condor]

While only checks if the condition next to it is true. 'while True' also translates to something like 'while 1==1' which is always true

[brave field]

ah, so it works because not giving it a variable or string or something to check just defaults to forcing itself to always be true?

[spring condor]

Yes. Any condition you give to a while condition returns a Boolean value. True or false

You forcing it to be always true results in an infinite loop

[brave field]

i have vmmem (its my application guard tab on edge) getting massive memory leak

and i cant kill it off

You could try to kill it through powershell with process list

nope, not dealing with powershell

[fervent granite]

[kindred temple]

im good at cmd, but i cant be fucked opening powershell

Im shit at it, but ill try helping.

What ya wanna ask about it?

[loud oak]

Good, my wireshark wont stop crashing as soon as i open it, the linix terminal keeps opening as well and saying error with wireshark, forced close

I use wireshark for router monitering because appently people love to DOS me

Its annoying as shit

[kindred temple]

wireshark is available for Windows too.

[loud oak]

Hm, ok, my PC is dual booted with Kali linux and windows 10. So i guess i will install on windows 10. Im a cybersecurist, so linix is a big tool for me

[fervent granite]

I thought it was cross platform?

[loud oak]

What is cross platform

[fervent granite]

You could try compiling it yourself

[loud oak]

Now that i think about it, i self compiled it in the first place, thats probaly why it wont work

[fervent granite]

Actually yeah I’m dumb, try using apt-get install wireshark

[arctic yarrow]

Hey guys, got a quick question. So I'm hosting a Valheim dedicated server, and everything is working fine except the server is not showing up on the community server list. I've added the launch option "-public" and tested both integer and string options for it by typing just 1 at the end or "1". Any other ideas on how to make it show up on the community server list outside of my LAN?

Here's a screenshot of my .bat file as it's currently configured:

[cold elbow]

maybe it's a ports issue idk

some ISPs throws users under CGNAT

[arctic yarrow]

People can connect to my server if they add it to favorites on steam and launch from there, so I don't think it's a porting issue. Basically everything about the server is functioning properly except being listed on the community server list, so I suspect it's a problem with the server not listing itself as public properly.

My router's WAN ip is identical to what I have when I search it on whatismyip.org, so it doesn't look like my ISP is using CGNAT.

[outer quiver]

i needs help with ds4 windows if anyones big brain

[hollow bridge]

Can anyone tell me what all this means

[jovial tide]

The first one is you mr GPU percentage and temp

Second one is the same as the GPU but with the CPU

RAM is how much memory is being used

The rest is your FPS Etc

[hollow bridge]

Yeah I get the first 2 but the fps bit, what does D3D11 mean and the FPS 1%

[fervent granite]

1% time low FPS means the average of the lowest framerates 1% of the time, a noticeable dip percentage when gaming.

[brave field]

D3D11 is the 3D renderer included with DX11
1% is the average of 1% of the lowest framerates recorded

Hello john!

[fervent granite]

Hello addict!

[jovial tide]

Cookie studios man

I got unbanned yay

[brave field]

great to hear!

[arctic yarrow]

I guess it's not that huge of a deal that my server isn't listed on the community server list. Less likely to have cheaters and griefers join.

It is a bit annoying that my friends have to add it to favorites on steam tho.

[kindred temple]

Run inputmapper.

Or even better, buy dualsense controller.

It has native support for PC iirc

[brave field]

Use Steam's controller wrapper

[fervent granite]

I thought windows had native controller support?

[brave field]

Only thing DS4Windows has over it is being able to capture gyro and broadcast that for other apps

DirectInput is native but sucks to use (buttons aren't named, two of the same type of controller may have different button numberings, etc), xinput is the standard but only Xbox 360-Series controllers, Windows.Gaming.Input support One and Series controllers @fervent granite

to get the ease of xinput with the compatibility of directinput, you need a third-party app

But Steam's is perfect for a good 95% of use cases and supports almost everything relevant

and works outside of Steam games

[fervent granite]

Are button numberings/names different for every user or does it depend on the controller?

[brave field]

under which API?

[fervent granite]

directinput

[brave field]

as far as I can tell its random

[fervent granite]

[brave field]

Can use the same controller three times and have different numberings for the start and select/back buttons

or you can use a third party version of the same controller and its reversed

all the games from that era just list your controls as "button5" as well

[fervent granite]

yeah that does sound like a pain

on macos/ios (iirc) they don't ever change

[brave field]

hm

What did macOS have before GameControllerFramework?

Its release date is around the time Windows.Gaming.Input was available, pretty new

[fervent granite]

I'm not sure actually

actually apple documentation says it was released with mavericks, so it's pretty old

[brave field]

DirectInput was 1995-2004 iirc

Windows.Gaming.Input came with the Xbox One

[fervent granite]

My mistake, gamecontroller began on mavericks/ios 7 but only for mfi controllers

They opened it up with catalina/ios 13 but that doesn't make sense because I was able to connect my xbox one controller via bluetooth to my mojave macbook natively

Yep: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10614/

[brave field]

interesting

Maybe the app had its own controller support?

[fervent granite]

[brave field]

SIAPI is sort of a problem imo, having the most versatile one tied to a single app gives Valve too much power

Its cross-platform and supports it all

Microsoft deliberately making xinput and Windows.Gaming.Input only work with xbox controllers despite DirectInput supporting others sucks, Apple's being different for the sake of being different sucks, FOSS devs on github do it right but you end up needing 1-2 programs per controller model you have, and then all they do is translate that into xinput since game engines only support it or SIAPI.

And Sony or Nintendo or Logitech or whoever sure isn't going to spend time writing their own software just for their 20% of controller marketshare

GFWL was dead on arrival though, not sure who at Microsoft thought that would go over well

Seriously bullshit windows defender automatically deletes files IT deems is malicious. MY FUCKING VALHEIM SERVER ISN'T A FUCKING VIRUS M$!

[brave field]

yeah, super annoying

warns you after it deletes the file

pyinstaller exes all get detected too even though its a false positive 😦

[arctic yarrow]

I've defanged and declawed that actual malicious peice of software M$ forced on me.

Makes me want to change my server to linux, because I need that software running 24/7 on my server.

[granite knot]

i hate that stupid definder i cant do crap

i wish i can delete it

[brave field]

Its really good at its job

just annoying when its wrong

[arctic yarrow]

Those times when it's wrong force me to disable the entire damn thing and go with malwarebytes instead.

[granite knot]

this man knows what i mean

with the dll files i keeps delating them

A bunch of cool and NOT ENTITLED reddit g*mers are now boycotting Zotac because they tweeted a picture of a mining setup.

If you're looking to get a new card, you might have a good 2000 less competitors trying to buy from Zotac when their cards are back in stock, might be best to look for their models first

[arctic yarrow]

I go with EVGA anyways. They do price slightly higher than MSRP under normal circumstances, but their support is amazing.

[arctic yarrow]

Besides, I think my 2070S will be relevant for another 3-4 years.

[light sinew]

I'm glad I built my computer in August before computer parts decided to act like Yeezys and sell out instantly at their retail price.

[arctic yarrow]

Built mine back in November of 2019, right after I quit a really shitty job.

I'm actually glad I got a city job just before the pandemic hit.

Might as well consider it malware

[gaunt granite]

valorant's anticheat/drm is pretty much literally a rootkit

kernel drivers should be running in R0, not a fucking game's anticheat

[fervent granite]

What even is the benefit of anti-cheat as a kernel level driver?

[arctic yarrow]

Harder to bypass?

[brave field]

Probably easier to detect cheats and scan through every single process running when its active from startup to shutdown and is able to do more on a PC than the person using it

[lilac fable]

is a 3600 cpu + 3070 gpu good or bad, if so is there anything i could do to make it better without changing products

[brave field]

You list two products but those two products can't be made better or worse without changing them

Its a good combo if you're going to be playing games

[lilac fable]

perfect

thx

[kindred temple]

idk why would they be flamed over pics that they dont own.

thats like me getting flamed for posting bean pc and "disrespecting ekwb engineering"

even though its a fucking meme

[crimson sentinel]

https://i.ruqqus.com/post/7pwo/btr6cEEcrBk

[brave field]

eh

They get flamed because half the people on reddit only read post titles and never the actual articles or context
Tonedeaf from Zotac's social folks, sure, but the response is dumb too

If they do actually organize something larger scale though, more cards for everyone else!
Zotac has gone from "Best GPUs, but not great customer support" to "worst GPUs of all time" back to being the best and now they're the worst company to ever exist on the planet as a whole according to these people

[kindred temple]

Best GPUs, but not great customer support
still my summary of them

never change

especially here, where galax already have a massive RMA network.

[hybrid python]

so uh

i have a question that's pretty tech related

or coding related or whatevs

i recently discovered dxvk, a project that forces games to use the vulkan api if the game is running directx

this seems to work for gta 4 however i do not know if it's bananble in gta online

i also do not know how to install it in gta online

can anyone tell me if dxvk is considered bannable?

so far i've seen peopel get banned for using wine thatu ses dxvk, however there's people that captured online footage with dxvk on

i do not know if those people were banned orn ot

[brave field]

People usually claim you don't get banned if its not editing memory or a .rpf file, but I wouldn't risk it if you care about the online mode

[hybrid python]

well dxvk is dll files

that's all ti is

it's just transfering dll files

d3d11 and dxgi to be specific

also d3d11 and dxgi aren't files in the normal directory, which means i just add them, i don't replace or modify existing files

so what does this mean? can i get banned for using dxvk?

[frail hollow]

Any1 know how to fix file required to play gto cant be downloaded

@frail hollow did you try to turn off your ps4 or ps5

small question, why does python use Hexadecimal to refer to objects' locations?

[brave field]

python uses Hexadecimal to refer to objects' locations?

[night timber]

yes

[brave field]

ooo

[night timber]

10042ed0, that's a hexadecimal number right there

I think that'll be 268709583

268709584*

hexadecimal to decimal converter coming in handy it seems

@gaunt granite opinion?

[gaunt granite]

because hex is easy to interpret and smaller strings of numbers

[night timber]

not so easy for us humans to understand though, but I can see it being used to save memory, thanks for explaining btw

[cold elbow]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/lian-li-2021-expo-new-cases

[gaunt granite]

the point is that it is easy for humans to understand lol

it's easier to understand that something is in memory location 0xFFAC3 than

!jsk py 0xFFAC3

[iron pecan]

1047235

[gaunt granite]

that

[night timber]

guess it just ain't easy for me as I find hex numbers hard to understand lol

[brave field]

Great, guess I can't be an Nvidia customer anymore. Intel dGPUs going to come out soon?

[old shell]

ok

[fervent granite]

That driver is optional right?

[brave field]

Some sources say driver, some say BIOS/vBIOS

either way, its the launch ones though, since the GPU isn't out yet

[fervent granite]

[fervent granite]

Oh how the mighty have changed

[light sinew]

It’s only the 3060?

Because I was planning on getting a 70 or and 80 if I was ever upgrading

I probably won’t be though the 2070s will last until whatever they come out with in late 2022

[brave field]

Only the 3060 is announced to have any sort of change, yeah

[frail bison]
