not all ssd have S.M.A.R.T feature?

[rugged bridge]

damn mod deleted msg

explain to me why that happens and i will accept it

[dry trellis]

I’ve considered Samsung, but honestly with so much push for Samsung accounts and useless bixby and me just not liking the style of the corner box camera it’s not as appealing.

[rugged bridge]

[dry trellis]

Also Samsung Is a pain in the ass to repair

[rugged bridge]

apple is no better

[woeful minnow]

yeah but every other smartphone company is

[unkempt otter]

if i could i would buy samsung s22 ultra ;-; and use it for next 5 years

[dry trellis]

Apple was better than google for privacy

[unkempt otter]

help ;-; or i should ask this in tech chat?

[unkempt otter]

yea just gives an update to slow ur phones down on purpose

[dry trellis]

That might affect me if I didn’t know how to replace a phone battery

But I do. And Apple is one of the easiest

I think Sony had a pretty good solution too. But Samsung battery replacements are painful. Pixels are annoying. Motorolas are shite in general

[unkempt otter]

(just buy a new phone)

[dry trellis]

I’ve opened up an rog phone 3 or 5 and those were decent

Fuck I want a phone I can get tears out of servicing myself. I don’t need to spend half a grand every two years on a phone

[slim yacht]

you can just ignore those and hide them, they wont even bother you
im using s21u personally

bixby wont even be active as you can reroute shortcut for assistant

[unkempt otter]

cannot it be disabled? sorry never bought a costly phone ;-;

[dry trellis]

Samsungs also even taken to locking the boot loader completely or disabling the camera when unlocked

[slim yacht]

changing from bixby to assistant essentially disables bixby as it is not active

[unkempt otter]

can anyone help here...

[slim yacht]

many of them does
some rare ones doesnt

[rugged bridge]

google it

[dry trellis]

Given Samsung battery reputation I’m not quite interested in needing to replace it. I’ve considered buying an s10 as a backup as they’re now dirt cheap

[slim yacht]

if you wanna know your own model then you can search it up for full specs
im betting yours does because rarely u see an ssd not having smart features

[slim yacht]

samsung battery reputation ?

[minor zephyr]

Where can you buy a legit thermalright cpu frame corrector?

[unkempt otter]

i saw 2 SSD one is samsung evo 970 plus it mentions smart feature but another kingston ssd only mentions TDW . ( i am using a crucial ssd with SMART feature) ye

[dry trellis]

They’ve basically just got huge slabs of adhesive under their batteries. When needing replacement batteries they’re probably the worst phones at it

I’ve worked as a repair tech and have done a many batteries as I’ve mentioned. Apple actually makes it easy

They’ve just got their weird software locks

For certain features

[slim yacht]

yeah samsungs one in particular does not have one, they have another system of their own
i dont remember what the name specifically

[unkempt otter]

ah no no. the samsung one has it..

[slim yacht]

ah i see, i never replaced my phone battery rite because its got good life still
even if i have to, samsung service center offers battery change for 30 dollars iirc here

[fluid ridge]

all SSDs have a TDW rating

[slim yacht]

hm, my 970 evo specifically i had cant run smart test for some reason. maybe its just mine

any other ssds ive got can run smart just fine

[fluid ridge]

970 moment

you should have gone with the 980 pro

[slim yacht]

i went for xpg sx8200 instead

[dry trellis]

Zenfone also reportedly has a better battery life and smaller screen

Oh and the zenfone has a headphone jack

In 2022. Wild

[slim yacht]

they produce rog, its no surprise zenfone line is great.

especially camera processing, although this year not so much with inconsistent hdr

[dry trellis]

I also have a G14 for my laptop

But of course laptops and phones are very different lol

[slim yacht]

their phone and laptop division are equally good

cant say the same for their qc tho

typically first batch of asus laptops in the past is not good, especially strix g15 advantage where there were lm leaks and shit

[unkempt otter]

i mean ye XD they do

[dry trellis]

I’m really considering it. It is a lot of money to blow. And the phone will reportedly only receive 2 years of updates? Not sure about that

I’ve only heard that in one article

[slim yacht]

uh, unless you really care about updates then its typically irrelevant for normal users as theyll change phones every 2-3 years to keep up

for me specifically tho i do care because i dont have money to spend on phones

[dry trellis]

Well unless something better and more compact comes out it really has looked like phones are trending to the larger side

I care as well. I’d like to extend the life of the thing

[fluid ridge]

you probably should care about updates lmao

[dry trellis]

Actually. I never looked up DAC quality. Need to do that. May not be a deciding factor but would be nice

[fluid ridge]

phone OS updates contain important security patches and shit

if you're on a budget, buy an iphone SE

apple provides the longest update support for their devices

[slim yacht]

im waiting for qualcomm to release next year's snapdragon with tsmc nodes
at the moment s21u serves me really well. if the new chip are as efficient as they say, id probably buy a new phone

[fluid ridge]

3 years of updates

🗿

[dry trellis]

The se is kind of ugly. But I’d just on a phone with a full size screen, but the size of that phone is the size of the se screen itself

[fluid ridge]

why would you get any android phone when the iphone SE exists

[wintry wolf]

Yo can someone help me
My pc is stuck in power loop it turns on for 15 secs and then turns off and repeats it

My specs:

RTX 2080 Zotac gaming Twin Fan
I7 8700K
16GB Ram 2666mhz
1TB SSD SU800 6G/S
Asrock Z390 Phantom 4-ib Motherboard

[slim yacht]

samsung offers 4 years of generation update and 5 years of security update for their newer models so

[woeful minnow]

pixel 6a?

[fluid ridge]

it's got the most powerful chip in any smartphone ever

or a variant of it - i believe the bionic chip in the "pro" version of the 13 is a little beefier

but it's the 2nd most powerful chip

[fluid ridge]

datalogger 🗿

[dry trellis]

I don’t need super powerful. Just powerful enough.

[minor zephyr]

Can you use Windex on glass side panels?

[fluid ridge]

yeah, it's glass

just dont get it in your pc

[minor zephyr]

alright awesome

yes of course lol

[woeful minnow]

bro if that's your argument you're just really narrow minded

[slim yacht]

sacrificing battery life on top of its small form factor ? yeah no. pixel 6a and zenfone 7 have remarkable battery life with their form factor

[fluid ridge]

sorry how am i narrow minded for correctly assuming that fucking google is not collecting an insane amount of data from their phones

[dry trellis]

I might sideload some games, but I care about build quality and battery life. I use my phone for chat apps, quick looking up online, audio like music and podcasts and camera

All that can be accomplished without a huge ass screen

[woeful minnow]

you're on a discord server about a youtube channel

[fluid ridge]

one look at google's track record with data on their other products and services is enough for me to avoid them

[slim yacht]

so does apple with ios ecosystem pretty much
theyre no different

[fluid ridge]

yes i am

[rugged bridge]

i'd rather google then fuckin tiktok

[fluid ridge]

ok literally google is like the next worst thing next to communists 🗿

it's the 2nd rung on the worst people to have your data ladder

[dry trellis]

I don’t use TikTok and do try to stay from google with some of dat furryfox

[woeful minnow]

also pixels have had some of the best support for non android/ios mobile operating systems

[slim yacht]

if you think ios built on top of BSD is safer than google's android based on distro, then youre wrong

[fluid ridge]

this feature is so niche

apple respects your privacy much more than google

[dry trellis]

It does

Reason I went with Apple for this upgrade cycle

[fluid ridge]

like im not saying they collect no data but i would give apple my data over google my data any day of the week

[dry trellis]

Also just because mini= small phone

[fluid ridge]

apple offers very robust OS privacy protection

you can straight up turn data collection and analytics off

[slim yacht]

same goes to android 🤓

you can turn that off long ago

[dry trellis]

That’s funny haha

[woeful minnow]

you can turn off optional data collection, just like on android

[dry trellis]

Google is a lot less optional

[fluid ridge]

#tech-chat-1

[woeful minnow]

technically theres no hard evidence of that but yes its generally accepted that its true

[fluid ridge]

you can turn all of it off, you can view it too

[slim yacht]

apple is as vulnerable as an independent os like google's
thats why you always have security updates provided

both breakable and exploitable

[dry trellis]

Ngl I’m also hesitant with Google Glance existing

[fluid ridge]

well duh, but the thing is they're longer than 2 years

[woeful minnow]

???

[slim yacht]

??

[dry trellis]

?

[slim yacht]

pixel offers up to 5 generation updates, samsung offers 4 with 5 years security updates

some other have shorter, main players give long support for their devices

even the ones that cost 350 dollar lol

[dry trellis]

Pixels are also one of the worst phones to work on. Series 3 had a ton of bricking issues I believe

[woeful minnow]

apple technically gives less now in a lot of cases because they continue selling their old phones for ages

[dry trellis]

iPhone had it’s own issues with the 7

Is million issues

[woeful minnow]

the apple watch S3 will be purchasable until the day it stops receiving updates

[dry trellis]

Never buy a 7

[fluid ridge]

these are the most high end flagship phones/brands

[woeful minnow]

the pixel 6A gets 5 years

[slim yacht]

pixel 2/xl had oled issues, pixel 3/3a/xl had some bricking issues which can be rma'ed for free
pixel 4/4xl had battery life issues
pixel 5/5xl had heating problems
pixel 6/6 pro had software bug

tbh if youre nitpicking issues, we can

[slim yacht]

samsung a series : 👀

[dry trellis]

I really am hesitant to just use a google ecosystem. I’d honestly trust Asus or Sony more

[woeful minnow]

every single samsung phone made this year and later gets 4 years android 5 years security

[dry trellis]

Sony is great

[woeful minnow]

sony only gives 2 years support which is kinda low

[dry trellis]

Motorola phones gonna be the first to get glance. And they’re also the worst quality

[slim yacht]

oneplus, oppo, vivo and realme also have long time developer support for phones costing 500 dollars and below

[dry trellis]

Sony is great in build quality

[slim yacht]

at this point software is not something you can argue on for android vs ios

[woeful minnow]

yeah also custom roms are super easy on pixels now

[dry trellis]

Imagine if google still owned Motorola

[arctic moss]

noo i just saw a i9 12900kf paired with a 3050 on ig 😭😭

[dry trellis]

A bit annoyed I hear there’s a chance of intel cancelling arc right after I buy stock lol

Was a little hyped from their appearances with creators so I threw $100 at it

[rugged bridge]

i have an rx 6600 paired with a i7 3770

[slim yacht]

lol the fact that apple as well fit ipad pro with m1 💀
alot of things wrong with apple actually if you sit and take a look in comparsion to androids

[dry trellis]

Apple is god with tablets

[arctic moss]

Cpu could be better

but hey if it works it works

[dry trellis]

I still wait for a good build quality 8 inch android tablet

[rugged bridge]

ik

[dry trellis]

Until then my iPad mini 6 be amazing

[sleek quarry]

why is he a dog if toby fox

[slim yacht]

no they arent, samsung s8+/pro rivals it side to side'

[dry trellis]

Google had a chance with the Pixel C tablet

Amazing display

Loved the little light bar on the top

[slim yacht]

samsung dex over ios tablet because you can actually function a tab like a mobile laptop without thermal throttling

[dry trellis]

I’m a sucker for build quality and aesthetics

Why would I bother with that instead of just using my laptop?

I use my tablet for tablet things. My laptop for laptop things

[slim yacht]

apple was pushing for something like samsung dex with their new ipad

you tell me

new gesture system, multi screen mode, computer mode etc etc

[dry trellis]

Samsung dex does come in handy when a screen is destroyed and you need to perform data recovery

[slim yacht]

samsung has smart switch

[dry trellis]

I just told myself for a year before the iPad mini 6 was announced “if Apple makes an iPad mini in the style of an iPad Pro with the bezel type all around, and functionally with the 2nd gen pencil, I’ll buy it immediately”

And then I did it

[dry trellis]

Smart switch doesn’t work if ye can’t access the screen.

Like I said I’ve worked in repair

Data recovery was a process we did

[slim yacht]

it can, thats why you have samsung account

after android 12 the system intergrates pretty well with each other

[dry trellis]

Dex made that easier on phones it was included with

Haha. Tell me what customer is coming into your stores with a Samsung account. I haven’t had one

And I don’t desire to make another account for something so trivial either. I was making a general statement. It’s handy for data recovery

[slim yacht]

well thats his mistake, he couldve easily pulled old data from the tab to another device with type c connection

[dry trellis]

The he being tens of customers at least

[slim yacht]

common mistakes that ends up like this are usually user mistake instead of oem

[gilded ore]

hi

[dry trellis]

What mistake even? I’m discussing data recovery. And how Samsung dex and general screen mirroring has made that easier to do

I was saying it was a handy tool

[manic torrent]

Casting the screen does NOT cast the cursor 😦

which means you can't play android games with a mouse on the TV easily

[dry trellis]

Huh? On what device?

[manic torrent]

pixel 4a

[dry trellis]

Ah

[manic torrent]

because obviously a mouse makes it approximately 100x easier

.... unless you can't see the cursor 🙂

[woeful minnow]

Oh no I really wanted to play mobile games on my tv

[slim yacht]

i mean not registering for air data recovery through its app

[manic torrent]

why not? Are you saying that mobile gaming isn't real gaming?

[woeful minnow]

yes

[manic torrent]

That must be why so many millions play it, and why it's worth so much

[dry trellis]

There are some wild arcade apps I’d play on a bigger screen

eh tbh mobile legends, pubg mobile gaming scene are pretty freaking big
theres tourneys everywhere

[stoic silo]

i just installed a Bitcoin miner and ransomware antivirus and we are resetting his PC rn

[woeful minnow]

I mean, is that not the reason it’s worth so much?

(Plus advertising of course)

[slim yacht]

gaming on desktop is the same

[woeful minnow]

Eh

Kinda

[slim yacht]

apex legends, valorant, blackshot, farcry, cyberpunk and many more have in game purchases on top of the game price itself

free games like valorant and apex have skins that cost a kidney

[woeful minnow]

Yeah but they’re not shoved in your face

[slim yacht]

practically the same on mobile and pc, just different dimensions of platform

in game ads are annoying, i agree
but not all mobile games are built that way

[oak sun]

Ubisoft has something exciting in store for you then

[manic torrent]

Thing is, you're not entirely wrong about mobile games

but... you're also not entirely right, plus, it's a huuuuuge demographic. and it includes a lot of men and women who have money, and want to play games

[dry trellis]

I have quite a collection of good quality mobile games from over the years

[manic torrent]

I play them much less now as I don't go anywhere, because I wfh, because there's a plague

[dry trellis]

Same, but it is nice knowing I have them. Along with a psp, vita, and switch

[wary summit]

mobile game is build on engagement rate, and build around people social activity

PC and console game are not restricted on such constraint, since they can be build on any basis,

most mobile game that are success are due to the social aspect of the game, not the game itself

but many PC/Console game are success because the game itself

[gritty minnow]

As a multiplayer game should be

[mossy pendant]

@ everyone, i am announcing to my good friends that me, uriel .d vasques rubio will no longer be part of the friday meeting gang, i've learned that the best way to enjoy life is through being alone, have a good life, and may the force be with you, thank you for everything

Spread the word

[terse folio]

nah you can have multiplayer game on PC that is not popular in your region, yet u still enjoy playing

but u can't do it on Mobile game

after all the whole idea of Mobile game is, Meet up, Play together with our IRL friend

but PC games can be played with anyone

one disgusting fact is many mobile games are build on algorithm that smartphone vendor provide to developer

hence the game is low on quality in favor on enggagement rate

Mobile game is always focus on constant daily activity to keep player engaged

while PC games, even MMO aren't focussed like that, many can do weekly

[gritty minnow]

You have a pretty warped idea of mobile gaming

[slim yacht]

ah i was not aware of that
thanks for information

[slim yacht]

well, not particularly this specific. alot of games on mobile are like the ones you can play with anyone, since battle royale type for example have servers all over the world
theyre technically the same but not really the same

you can also play on the go to kill boredom, can also competitively play to gain some wins

[terse folio]

it's not warped it's the reality people reject

The UI element, the UI placement, the splash screen, the event, the limited character banner, the limited skin, mobile gaming always tend to make people FOMO and make rushed decision

I play my share of mobile game thank you very much

[willow patrol]

Mobile games are just like PC games, meaning they can be whatever they want

i dont think it matters that much

[agile jetty]

Difference
PC games require beefy hardware
Looking at you warzone
My friend had a laptop 3080 ti with total shared 40gb ram. Warzonr used 38gb and 97% 3d

[willow patrol]

because thats a big title also he might've been running it at max settings or something

it differs on a game to game basis even on the same hardware

[terse folio]

it is matter, if u think they aren't mean u haven't play enough for them

[willow patrol]

im not sure what point you're trying to communicate

[terse folio]

mobile game always designed that way, encouraging microtransaction purchase by deliberately design the game to make FOMO, whether the FOMO is about item that is cosmetical, collectible, or straight up Pay 2 Win, is vary of each game
Since you can't make mobile game is paid game, you will need to make the game free, Paid game ain't gonna work on mobile,

Single Player mobile game example = Genshin Impact limited character banner
Multiplayer Competitive mobile game example = Mobile Legend Skin
MMO Mobile game example = Diablo Immortal lootboxes

[latent plank]

Games are games... full stop. Doesnt matter the platform. There are amazing games on all of them, games that cater to MANY DIFFERENT audiences. Just because you don't like it, doesn't take away the fact that there is some one that does. ALL PLATFORMS have predatory practices, don't even try to argue scope or semantics. The entire industry is moving that way, but that doesnt take away the true experiences that are out there. Dont you dare put down some one else for something they like.

Going back and forth like this just shows you are only stuck in you're own bubble and dont want to expand your horizons or even just listen

I stand of what I said about mobile gaming, since I play tons of them and experienced many popular tittles doing that, if you're so strongly disagree I challenge you to do some research about such topic and make a video/podcast or whatever to talk about it

but Alpaca is right its UEFI or BIOS

One fan is intake one would be exhaust

everyone just calls it both

if you case has 240mm support at the top, then have your radiator exhaust heat there, and one at the back. and then 2/3 intake
if you have an nzxt or similar case designed like H510, its best to have your radiator pull air in and cool your cpu with radiator and exhaust out air from the top and the side

[marble monolith]

They’re both the same direction though

[agile jetty]

Intake or exhaust

[cinder nebula]

I have all my fans pointing in so everything stays cool, stay smart gamers

[slim yacht]

more like trap air

i hate radiator at top and exausht at back and 3 intake at front

[slim yacht]

looks about right

[agile jetty]

AAAAA

[lucid echo]

Just put 20 fans in your system it’ll be fine then

[agile jetty]

I don't have a coolermaster case

I got a rosewill spectra d100 mesh with 4 fans

[full fossil]

my old cooler master case had no airflow on front panel

[lucid echo]

All you need to do is spend countless hours modding and 3D printing attachments for the Corsair 1000D

[full fossil]

doesnt seem very cooler master

[agile jetty]

2 intake 2 exhaust

[marble monolith]

I have a Lian li case so 1 on the bottom intake and three on the side also as intake then the rad is on the top as exhaust

[agile jetty]

Agreed

Do you know how to mount thr fans correctly

Meh

[agile jetty]

Meh we could make the price higher with a 5995wxt or 3990X

[marble monolith]

Ya? What’s wrong with how it’s setup

[agile jetty]

If the front panel is mesh. Put the fans on the front

[marble monolith]

It’s the bottom and side that are mesh ig, the front it glass so those are the only intakes

[agile jetty]

And if there's a logo on the fans then make sure you can see it for intake

[agile jetty]

Crappyass airflow.. yhis is why I dislike lian li

cus their homes don't have high enough voltage

[willow patrol]

they have 120v kettles ?

[full fossil]

yeah

[willow patrol]

yea so they have them ?

just at a lower voltage

[stray apex]

Most Americans don't actually need a kettle

[manic torrent]

..... Because they don't need hot water, ever.

[stray apex]

You only need a kettle for like, tea or cup noodles

[full fossil]

most american homes don't use electric jugs/kettles because the voltage they use is too slow in heating water

from what i read

[manic torrent]

Correct

[full fossil]

quite interesting tbh

[stray apex]

What do you even use a kettle for, other than like tea or cup noodles?

[full fossil]

nowadays i think people use it mostly for coffee, tea and other beverages

[stray apex]

Only hipsters need a kettle for coffee

You can get cheap coffee makers

[full fossil]

(coffee as in an instant/water coffee)

[stray apex]

If you drink enough coffee to need to boil water all the time, you can probably justify just buying a coffee machine and at least some preground

I enjoyed it, though

TIL that you can set your android device to navigate using iPhone swipe gestures

If you needed to gather evidence after an incident occurred it is a great way to capture RAM contents easily and quickly

[maiden pond]

Is it better? Meh. But is it great for people switching to Android from iOS? Yes

[willow patrol]

sounds like more of a security flaw than feature, at least from what it sounds like, also im not sure what it secures

[willow patrol]

at least its an option 👍

[tawdry musk]

Maybe a control risk? It secures the contents of the RAM for forensic investigation

[maiden pond]

I do kind of like switching apps with swipe gestures, it's a lot more satisfying

I don't really watch his videos though

Not regularly at least

Obviously Linus is concerned about the investment that him and Yvonne have laid down with all of the economic instability going on, but that’s standard business stuff

I just hope that Jay is okay

A lot of times public figures or people who are well-known in certain circles will not share certain things about their personal lives or whatever but you can almost always tell when something is going on because it takes away from their normal energy or what have you

worth if you are doing editing

depends on what gpu you’re buying

[warped narwhal]

very fast cpu, worth the price if you need the extra speed on top of the 12600k

otherwise 12600k is a much more sensible option just cause it's cheaper and less overkill while still offering plenty of performance

[somber mural]

hey

[wide steeple]

Is there any way i can emulate a vr game on my 2d screen

[tired glade]

what tech genius?

[tired glade]

just load game in engine with vr mode

[wide steeple]

No

A multiplayer game

[tired glade]

mmo?

or just co-op?

[wide steeple]

Its a roblox game

[tired glade]

you can hock network in demo

no, for that

[wide steeple]

:(.

[somber mural]

what vr headset do you use, roblox games normally need Oculus

not all headsets work on roblox

[wide steeple]

I dont have a headset 🫠

[graceful burrow]

No

[somber mural]

so you wanna play play a roblox vr game without a headset

[wide steeple]

Yea…

[somber mural]

that wont work

[wide steeple]

Cuz i cant afford a vr

[somber mural]

unfortunate, but i don't think you can

[graceful burrow]

You cant

[wide steeple]

Ok 👍

[slate agate]

someone made half life alyx work in 2d

[wide steeple]

Thanks for ur time guys

[graceful burrow]

By completely hacking and modding the game

[tired glade]

what engine is roblox?

[somber mural]

np

[slate agate]

sure, just saying it can be done if someone has the talent and wants to bother

[wide steeple]

Ogre isnt it ?

[graceful burrow]

Its a complete conversion, incredibly complex
If you have to ask, the answer is no
If you knew how, you'd start hacking

[somber mural]

i think OGRE

[tired glade]

yea, it's OGRE

written on C++

[somber mural]

yea

[wide steeple]

I have another question

For some reason my laptop aint updating to windows 10

Its a realllllly old laptop

Its on windows 8.1 Pro currently

[somber mural]

does it fail to update ?

[wide steeple]

Yes

[somber mural]

does a message show up or anything when it fails?

[graceful burrow]

You could wipe and try fresh installing win10

[wide steeple]

It compelted all the setup and after the updating screen it says fail

[wide steeple]

Yes

[somber mural]

what does the message say

[wide steeple]

Failed to update to windows 10

[somber mural]

you could just format the whole thing

and install windows 10 from a usb

[wide steeple]

I have so much data on it

The problem is

[somber mural]

move it to an external drive or ssd

[wide steeple]

My usb overheats so much when i transfer data thru it

It would explode if i transfer that much data

[somber mural]

try a hard drive instead of a usb

[wide steeple]

…

I dont and i cant have one :(.

[somber mural]

well...

[wide steeple]

Leave it

[somber mural]

theres not much options remaining tbh

[wide steeple]

I am going to buy a new laptop soon

[somber mural]

hope that works out with you

[wide steeple]

As my parents promised it for my bday

[brave musk]

buy a large amount of cloud storage, put it all on there, reformat and download all your data, then cancel the cloud storage plan

[wide steeple]

“Buy”

[somber mural]

you can cancel it when your done that a good idea actually

[wide steeple]

Yea i could try it

But i dont have a credit card due to my small age 🙂

[somber mural]

maybe a friend or something they might have a ssd or something

[wide steeple]

And my indian parents wont let me use there card

[wide steeple]

Yea i could try it

But no need as i said i am getting a new laptop soon

You guys could help me suggest a good laptop

[brave musk]

ah the struggle of needing the parents card, i remember those days

[somber mural]

that works too

[wide steeple]

My budget is under ₹50k

[somber mural]

the bad old days

[somber mural]

hold on let me see how much that is in dollars

[wide steeple]

631$ for u

[somber mural]

oh

[wide steeple]

I have a question

[somber mural]

what is it

[wide steeple]

I used discord before i was 13 now i am 14

So does this get be banned from anywhere ?

[somber mural]

no you wont get banned

[wide steeple]

Ok then

[hearty spear]

as long as you're over 13 now you should be fine

[somber mural]

are you looking for a specific brand for a laptop ?

[wide steeple]

Nope

[somber mural]

i have a few options

[wide steeple]

Just something that can be used for gaming and is available in India

[somber mural]

ill assume you'll be using the laptop for studying and gaming right

[wide steeple]

[wide steeple]

Yep

Thats the only thing my life

😂

[somber mural]

makes sense

[wide steeple]

Wake up go to school 5 hrs of study come back
Eat food game study at home or tuitions watch tv do chores sleep

Finished last touches before the open house on the old place I use to live in as a kid. We’re finally selling after renting for 5 years

Just need to remove the satellite dish which belonged to old tenant/a friend of ours. I suggested using an angle grinder on it lol. Last 2 bolts were budging

Then I yank the cable and let the satellite swing down and before that I jump out of the way for it to crash down to the ground

[thorny helm]

Hey guys, is there to way to contact LTT? i have a product i would like to send them if they want

[lucid echo]

[e-mail]

What is it?

[full fossil]

Yea, thats a question i too wanted to ask

[lilac sage]

I wonder if LMG knows about the cool pillow that is also a pet. interesting concept

[lucid stirrup]

A laptop unplugged is gonna benmark bad correct?

[somber mural]

[full fossil]

Yea, really bad

[vapid vortex]

Hope the lan went well

Im bummed about the backpack launch getting pushed. I leave for vacation wednesday so wont be able to buy quick.

[peak sable]

ugh does anyknow how to forward texts from an old phone number without access to that phone?

my stupid credit union is closed and I cant update my cell

because they need to verify its me but I am logged in via fingerprint on the fucking app

[hearty oyster]

can't do it likely. If you've cut access off to that phone number than it's gone.

it might alreayd be sold to someone else

[magic niche]

hi

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

[graceful burrow]

#build-a-pc

[devout tulip]

[hearty oyster]

world wide

prestige

typically seen on key reselling sites. buyer VERY beware about those pages

[devout tulip]

[molten drift]

It's funny I remember feeling like the best ape escape player growing up . Just saw a speedrunner get further than I had in the game... In sub 10 mins

[serene island]

ayo guys this person on a discord server I'm on is claiming they have a radeon r9 280 (8 year old card) and they can run minecraft with shaders at like 500+ fps

and they claim the gpu runs under load at 46 degrees

do you guys smell cap or nah

no I'm just wondering if that's possible lol

I'm not planning on buying an 8 year old gpu 💀

[quick prairie]

why wouldnt it be possible

[serene island]

it's a gpu from 8 years ago and my rx 580 only does ~230 fps on minecraft

[quick prairie]

you cant really compare minecraft framerates that easily

[serene island]

true

[quick prairie]

minecraft framerates fluctuate a lot depending on what you are doing and where you are

[serene island]

it's a game with super variable settings

[quick prairie]

and mods

[agile jetty]

TechSource discord is harassing me cuz I said LTT is good

[vapid smelt]

Cool

[boreal yew]

Okay so like, teleporting. If you teleport are you actually the same you on the other side or just a copy?

[fallen hull]

Why can’t we put a nuclear battery in a phone? I understand the radiation concern, but we put nuclear batteries inside people’s hearts

[graceful burrow]

can you find an instance of a nuclear battery inside of a heart

i'd love to see a citation on that kek

[devout tulip]

What are some places to find high quality wallpapers not animated

[graceful burrow]

google

i make my own wallpapers kek

[full fossil]

When is the next rog rig reboot?

[graceful burrow]

maybe never

it is a mystery

[serene island]

nuclear batteries produce pretty low amount of power if I'm correct
