Dude, you don't start your critique by calling him out... Don't you know that?

286 cad is pretty cheap

[latent plank]

thats sooo cheap

im used to 600- 1000

[unkempt imp]

Apparently my flight dropped to $182 usd

[graceful burrow]

I have never flown is it fun

[wind pulsar]

Economy class from my destination to Germany, where I often have to fly to for work, costs $750~800 x)

[wind pulsar]

BC is 3 grand minimum

[unkempt imp]

Yeah this is a lil more than what I’m paying and it isn’t that bad

[sage quiver]

Adequate legroom + Steam Deck = fun flight

[latent plank]

its complicated

[fossil frost]

was about to say, it can be, but it depends on the airline, and where you are going, and how much you pay 🙂

[wind pulsar]

It's extremely fun if you have someone throwing a tantrum and refuses to leave the plane when they get kicked out before takeoff

[graceful burrow]

That's what I'm thinkin

[vapid smelt]

no the seats and room is terrible for economy

[stray apex]

No
You just sit in a smallish chair for a while

[vapid smelt]

with no arm room

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like me at my desk

[unkempt imp]

Looks like it’d be almost $700 for me to fly to bc 😂

[stuck stratus]

it's fun if you don't fly often

[wind pulsar]

JUST BE SMALL!
I'm 4'10 and have NO problem whatsoever in economy hmpf!

[stray apex]

yeah, but you have less legroom, there are probably people you don't know next to you, and getting up is frowned upon

[graceful burrow]

Reaching things > leg room

[stuck stratus]

I'm 6'5 and have many problems in economy ;-;

[latent plank]

Also booking out further helps (calender date)

[wind pulsar]

Driving from Japan to Europe would be a bit of a stretch. x)

[fossil frost]

i would drive to my next trip, but i dont fancy driving from the uk to mexico...

[faint hare]

Eh, I’ll take my chances. I don’t have to smell people. Plus, it’s cheaper. Don’t have to rent a car when I’m there.

Plus my car does most of the driving.

[echo ridge]

Baking soda

What about that

[fervent tapir]

80% of gamers are on legal amphetamines

[faint hare]

Do as much of that as you want.

[unkempt imp]

Fun fact, powdered sugar can be made by putting sugar into a blender

[vapid smelt]

side affects are extreme pain and having a good chance of uneven legs its totally worth it!

Some Germans seriously believe that a bottle of beer everyday is healthy and should be part of a standard diet. Hi.

[echo ridge]

Also technically drugs include coffee

[unkempt imp]

I haven’t personally done it so I didn’t know that was needed as well

[fervent tapir]

Germans are funny

[unkempt imp]

Caffeine in general as well

[vapid smelt]

i only need 1 inch for that if i didnt have a fucked up spine i could be 6 foot

[echo ridge]

Imagine having one crys in loneness

[vapid smelt]

[wind pulsar]

Then contortion might be for you, since due to your spine straightening out when you do contortion, you actually grow by up to 2 inches or so!

cheese curds
follow directions on fry bag
microwave the gravy and curds or something

[desert dagger]

Wouldn't know, never been to Canada but whenever going I have to do a stop in Quebec before heading over to the wbest coast

[unkempt imp]

I thought mashed potatoes were a part of it as well

[desert dagger]

So like europe?

Closest I been is Reykjavik on iceland but thats not close enough :(

pineapple on pizza is top 3 pizza toppings

The first ever fax machine, the "printing telegraph", was invented in 1843
And Abraham Lincoln was famously assassinated at Ford's Theatre in 1865
Which means There was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln

Did they have underwater cables back then?

I doubt they even considered having fax machines back then, the Japanese were really slow on technological progress before WW2 :o

[wind pulsar]

I didn't mean military progress damnit, Japan almost always spent most of its money into the military

[latent plank]

thats enough discord for me, night all. it was a wild ride tonight

[wind pulsar]

Well and partying hard

[stray apex]

🛏️

[wind pulsar]

Nighties! Sleep well!

[stray apex]

I love sleeping and staying in bed after I wake up
But going to sleep always sucks

[forest crescent]

is anyone still up in this chat?

i have a question

[wind pulsar]

Err, yeah!

[forest crescent]

i found it nvm

ty tho

[full fossil]

i pull up

[violet vale]

When your about to order the LTT backpack but shipping and taxes add extra £100+ to the cost ☹️

[wind pulsar]

Well, they can't do much about taxes, can they :o

[stray apex]

Be cool if they could expand creator warehouse into a floatplane-style platform that other creators could use so they could scale up to justify warehouses in other countries

[fossil frost]

thats what bunker branding did over at demolition ranch

its where almost all of matt's money comes from now because hes constantly demonitised

[thorn fossil]

True

Great content, but not surprised YT doesn't allow to monetize that ;P

[latent plank]

I should be sleeping, but its in the name: Creator Warehouse. We tend not to rush into things when it comes to merch. Videos.... thats a bit different lol

[wind pulsar]

Awww, I hope you can have some rest later though!

[thorn fossil]

Rest? What's that?

[latent plank]

Health tip: dont have a migraine

lol

[thorn fossil]

Oh that sucks

You mean like a migraine migraine or a bad headache?

[latent plank]

migraine migraine

[thorn fossil]

Damn that sucks

Try Metamizole/dipyrone (not sure whats the trade name in CA, not sure if you can get it OTC), helped my friend

*not a doctor

[latent plank]

i have tried everything, this is an ongoing issue

lifetime issue perhaps if a couple docs are to be believed

[thorn fossil]

Often is unfortunately

Sometimes just disappears though

[latent plank]

now thats wishful thinking

😆

i leave again

https://tenor.com/view/out-disappear-bye-vanished-gif-4932063

[fallow echo]

Gee what a great health tip, used to get
Them and they suck hope it goes soon

Ah he's gone

[latent plank]

maybe next time

[lament crystal]

Curious, would people actually pay 250 bucks for a backpack? Don't get me wrong, it looks like it's a great backpack, but is it worth 250 bucks?

[wind pulsar]

Apparently it's not that much, either!

[lament crystal]

Really? On the site it says 249.99

[wind pulsar]

No, that's not what I meant

[obsidian trellis]

Over 10,000 already have….

[wind pulsar]

As in, compared to other backpacks of the same quality standards

[wind pulsar]

I did as well :o

[lament crystal]

Have you got it? Would you say it's a good price?

[obsidian trellis]

I ordered mine in wave 1, so excited

[lament crystal]

Maybe I'm just not the target market for it

[wind pulsar]

Also it's not 250 bucks either, you're not factoring in a hundred or so dollars of taxes xD

[obsidian trellis]

No, I don’t think the main waves have sniped yet. Just the few sold in person afaik

[obsidian trellis]

Was $50 of taxes + shipping for me

[lament crystal]

I have an LTTstore hoodie that I bought over 2 years ago, it's starting to wear through the back since I consistently wore it with a backpack

Still a fantastic hoodie

[wind pulsar]

$150 of taxes and shipping for me

[lament crystal]

For my stealth hoodie I had to pay import taxes twice since I ordered the wrong size first

They sent me the right size for free tho

[obsidian trellis]

The backpack is built out of some extremely tough material that is 2 layers thick….

[lament crystal]

How do I send pictures in this channel?

Not the best quality, but this is my LTT stealth hoodie after 2 years

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/736711973122605107/1004688256153157793/IMG_20220804_105103.jpg

Mostly the back, where my backpack rested on it

[unkempt imp]

I feel that man. Luckily it wouldn’t be that bad for me but it’s still $46 in taxes and shipping

[storm egret]

What is Razer Cortex, is it good?

[thorn fossil]

AFAIK sub floatplane & connect account or #screenshots

[lament crystal]

Or just send a link like I did

[thorn fossil]

If it works it works 😛

[bold stag]

HIIII

[lament crystal]

I remember there being a lot of hype for an LTT minecraft server, did that go anywhere?

[thorn fossil]

https://discord.gg/mwVhrPn || mc.ltt.gg

[wet quarry]

Thats 10k members dayum

[dire yacht]

Unless you're from EU in which case it'll cost you about $520 with shipping, taxes & customs.

I mean I'm willing to pay $250 for the backpack no problem but it'd be nice if all of the other costs were way less

Paid about $200 for my current lowepro back which has held up really well

But $520 is really spicy

[full fossil]

hey

i just joined

[vale kernel]

Lol backpack NOW?

[thorn fossil]

Huh

Apparently Diablo Immortal earned $100 million in 8 weeks since release

[desert dagger]

[thorn fossil]

No such thing as bad publicity I guess

[thorn fossil]

Top 2 considering weeks to $100 mil btw, Pokemon GO is on top with 2 weeks

[manic torrent]

I would, just don't need it.

[upbeat ridge]

I mean, mine got stolen two months after I got it😅

So it still looks better than mine

[lament crystal]

Honestly it's a really high quality hoodie, but I'm thinking of getting the new version

[upbeat ridge]

And 110 euro is a bit expensive, and that was with the exchange rate of last summer

[full fossil]

Buying a new monitor. What is a good 27inch, Curved, 2k, at least 144hz?

[steep laurel]

Heyy anyone knows a link to a online notepad that hass no log in and can just type the link and start typing???

[main marten]

acer nitro is very good for its price but not curved

kinda the cheapo option so I went for it

[full fossil]

Im

I hadn't come across that in my research..will check it out! Thanks@main marten

[tardy schooner]

Ordered the backpack

Was definitely a bit expensive to import it to Scotland but I have never bought anything from LTT and I believe it's about time I pay them back for the hours of watch time I have

[carmine merlin]

I somehow managed to bloat the price of a pc with 1630 and 12100f to 7k (I did not buy it)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wq89wc
(Note: this is one of my joke builds)

[north wraith]

You know I do actually need a new bag…

[waxen cobalt]

they get paid for u watching them

[carmine merlin]

lttstore.com

[north wraith]

He might be a privateering ad blocker tho

[waxen cobalt]

i still think its funny how they recdomended yt vanced for dislike button, yet never loomed at stuff like it blocking ads, downloadin their vids free or just not needing yt premium (so yt premium income count drops)

[north wraith]

I think they knew that it did that other stuff too

Just wanted to keep it on the DL for reasons

[waxen cobalt]

funny how it still gets updates too even tho it was supposed to shutdown

[north wraith]

It dose?

That great lol

[waxen cobalt]

aye as long as u got the manager, they just dont supply the app directly u gotta do it via their manager apk now

[north wraith]

Sadly I still am in the Apple garden of Eden hell

Crap how do you do stike through again?

[waxen cobalt]

on apple just download a modded brouser and watch from dat

~~

two of them

[north wraith]

Yeah I’ve tried alt browsers but I think they aren’t as quick as safari plus I got YouTube Prime already

Brave was/is a decent fit though

[manic torrent]

all browsers on iOS use the same renderer, because apple.

[north wraith]

For a while I was actually using edge for the reward points

[desert dagger]

nu uh my opera GX client is comletely different ( /s if it wasnt obvious )

[manic torrent]

lol it was not obvious 🙂 people fight me all the time

[desert dagger]

yeah it felt like a good idea to be clear there

[waxen cobalt]

i wonder where bob the kn*b is

[north wraith]

Internet chat (well any kind of text chat tbh) it’s always hard to pick up tone

[waxen cobalt]

just think mono tone whispers for all text its funnier

[north wraith]

Like those twitch tts?

[waxen cobalt]

kinda like the first versions of siri

[north wraith]

Yeh

Still remembered my old Mac “are you sure you want shut down your computer”

[waxen cobalt]

when u click sleep on windows instead of shutdown

[north wraith]

Back when laptops didn’t have color 😬

[manic torrent]

it is a lot easier if you know the people, and at least their cultural context and location

[manic torrent]

my first computer had one colour: green.

[waxen cobalt]

read each word of a text in a different accent

[north wraith]

Nice I’m guess it had no GUI too?

[waxen cobalt]

orange and black best combo

[manic torrent]

gui didn't exist in consumer space

[north wraith]

Yeah I’m not that old to have grown up with that but I’m aware

[manic torrent]

I am just old enough, and we always had computers

I am 41

[waxen cobalt]

elderly just like ltt

[north wraith]

I guess it would also depend on where I live too tbh

It’s “<link>” for those who might want to know

Love me some good theremin

[pine fractal]

You did it o7

[pine fractal]

didn't know hiding preview was a thing haha

that's useful

[north wraith]

Yeah it has potential non bait use too

[pine fractal]

time to play have you met rick on some fools

[north wraith]

I think if you really want to get fancy You could try those UrL shorteners too

[pine fractal]

monetized rick rolls

that's pure evil

[north wraith]

That’s the MLMs of trolling

I think I’m using that term right?

The thing were Facebook moms try to sell you sented candles or whatever

[night tulip]

morning

[fading rapids]

i read that as "thats the man loving man of trolling"

[north wraith]

Lol

I was trying to say middle level market strategy

[civic mason]

does wave 2 have a delivery date?

[north wraith]

Is wave 2 single and looking to mingle?

[civic mason]

[north wraith]

Ok 85% of my jokes suck but those 10% that are bangers are nice trust me

[lime patio]

Can't wait for backpack. Snagged it early in wave1

[wraith sonnet]

They were clearing out shelf space at my work and I finally have at least 1 shirt from a place I work at that isn't part of a uniform

Also some windows 10 merch IG

I now can proudly say I own more than two colors in my wardrobe, lttstore merch is great but they only had black for so long. My shirts from shark robot are basically all black with designs that I don't care about.

[distant stone]

How does one get in contact with the LMG staff

[lilac sage]

Email them

[distant stone]

What’s their email?

[lilac sage]

[e-mail] i believe

[bitter thunder]

If a processors release date is labeled “Q1’13”, what does that mean? First quarter of 2013?

[violet hazel]

yea

[bitter thunder]

Gotcha. Weird way to put it

[violet hazel]

ok

[lilac sage]

What would be a better way?

q1 2013?

[bitter thunder]

The actual date, rather than q anything lol

[violet hazel]

yea probably

[bitter thunder]

Just not used to it is all

[violet hazel]

bruh

[lilac sage]

It doesnt release internationally on the same date

Should it just be the first release date?

[bitter thunder]

Idunno, I don’t mean on making a big deal about it. Just wasn’t sure what it was nor am used to it

[lilac sage]

I think they should just say H12013

[bitter thunder]

H1?

[lilac sage]

Half 1

[wind pulsar]

That creates a deadline, that just doesn't exist

[feral vortex]

hi

[floral inlet]

So i have a question if i buy a Backpack and a LTT 40 Oz Water Bottle would there be any way i could wait to get the Water Bottle or will i have to get the Water Bottle before the Back Pack

[hollow zealot]

Generally they'll ship them out together
When limited edition items go up that are printed per order, they ship with whatever item is being printed.

[floral inlet]

Ok sorry for asking

Because if i do order them I wouldn't mine getting them together and waiting

[full fossil]

hi

[cyan vapor]

Oof, shipping and VAT adds $110 to the backpack, so that ends up being 367€. Nope.

[ebon eagle]

Take off the bonus bin item and it shaves a little off, but yeah

[cyan vapor]

What bonus bin item? All I had in the cart was the backpack for 249

[ebon eagle]

Hmm, I checked the price for myself and $367 was the price with stickers. Took the stickers out and it went to $359

Though you're quoting Euro which I didn't look at, just the USD on the site

(And we're in different places)

[cyan vapor]

Total was 359 in usd yeah, I don't think I had the stickers

but right now it's 1 usd to 0.98 eur

[wintry wolf]

I got a 12.1k ig account and 200+ skin fn account trade for stacked wz account

[gentle slate]

how taxing on my system would it be to host a 1.12.2 server for my little brother and 1-2 of his school mates?

[light nexus]

Where should I buy a W11 product key?

[gentle slate]

microsoft store

[light nexus]

But it’s so expensive

[cyan vapor]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Server/Requirements

[light nexus]

if i buy a norwegian windows key, can i change it to english later?

[devout cloud]

Got that wave 1 backpack let’s go 😂

[light nexus]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-home/dg7gmgf0krt0 if i buy this, do i get a product key? i already have w11 installed, but just need the product key.
Microsoft Store

[dreamy otter]

do a quick google search.. there's many ways I can't get into here 😉

[uncut kayak]

anybody know why linus has an 8bitdo zero 2 with him in some videos

[mellow juniper]

Teleprompter.

[cinder tapir]

does anybody know what to do? i just started up csgo and now it sound like a rusian screaming at you in csgo when i talk what do i do?

like csgo actually broke my mic i think

[night heron]

check and see if opening steam or cs:go changed your windows default input device, or reset your microphone volume to 100% in the sound control panel

that happens pretty often, i have to reset my input device every time i open steam

[cinder tapir]

it still got the yeti as my main and discord aswell

but it still sound horible now]

[mental arrow]

Anyone know if I should purchase a cpu from canadacomputers, I’ve seen mixed reviews about their online service

[cinder tapir]

now it just dont work

[full fossil]

Why not just go in-person

[silver cloak]

Not sure for online, but I buy basically all my parts from them in person and I love it. It feels like a micro center for Canadians

[cinder tapir]

i kinda fixed it but csgo fried it but the logitec Ghub let me fix it to almost the old quality

[mental arrow]

i cant go in person right now

[fair sage]

man, this is creepy. I am on amazon, looking at stuff, i click on ifixit manta kit... and then at the end of today's LTT video, a in-video ad for that kit starts playing 😄

[graceful burrow]

Pro tech toolkit > manta

[fair sage]

not planning to buy either; i was just laughing at the chance

that i click on something on amazon and at the end of LTT video, an ad starts playing for the same thing like 20 seconds later

[full fossil]

Does anyone know how to turn off trash in Google files?

[graceful burrow]

You dont

If you delete something it will go into the trash

[full fossil]

So i must uninstall or disable it

[graceful burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/grandpa-computer-funny-gif-4438256

[gentle slate]

Dont you hate it when a dev closes off a 3rd party project and forces you use a really shitty inferior app for the same thing?

[graceful burrow]

No not really

[gentle slate]

Hm. Fair

[regal musk]

VRchat?

[gentle slate]

Nah. Curseforge and it's cousin FTB App

[regal musk]

oooo, gotcha

[gentle slate]

I'd rather use MultiMC since Curseforge and FTB App both act and feel like malware

But MultiMC has no API access to Curseforge anymore

[regal musk]

Last week VRchat blindsided the community by announcing Easy Anticheat would be implemented in the game about a day before the update was pushed, which killed all mods. And then they made an update basically saying "yeah we acknowledge this is going to fuck with ease of use and disability related mods, but screw you we're doing it anyways".

Also they hired a lawyer to send a C&D to a modding group that was making a homebrew implementation of a private server around the same time.

[molten drift]

I mean I don't even own a vr headset so... Problem for a different day.

[graceful burrow]

I mean
They're well within legal right to c&d private servers of their game

Is it shitty? Insanely.
Legal? Absolutely.

[molten drift]

And to choose to not allow or break mods of their choice.

[graceful burrow]

Just move onto a different game
Stop giving shitty devs the time of day

[molten drift]

Have you tried our lord and savior second life

[fossil frost]

depends. if its a clean room reverse engineered server. not illegal at all. if it uses stolen code, illegal

[lucid echo]

It's a great way to drive away a lot of your users too

[graceful burrow]

Ain't no way it is, zero chance

[regal musk]

I was a huge SL nerd back in the mid 00s, back when it was the original Web3

[molten drift]

I still use it lol daily

[dry trellis]

Vrchat doesn’t actually need vr to be played

[graceful burrow]

I say let vrchat die

[regal musk]

I feel bad for my friends that did a lot on VRchat, but I gotta admit it's been kind of fun to see the active userbase trend downward ever since the update.

Just yet another lesson to add to the pile of "how to not interact with your community"

But man old SL was wild. That was back when a lot of companies made serious investments building their sims. I remember hanging around the Microsoft and Cadillac sims a lot while in my fox fursona avatar lol

[dry trellis]

It was basically discord and other chat rooms but 3D fun like Roblox or Minecraft or sumthin.

Some of the older internet chat rooms.

Why can’t I think of names

[lucid echo]

I used it briefly this summer and had a lot of fun. It's gonna be a shame if it dies out and the only viable alternatives are sterile corporate 'metaverses'

Very early 2000's vibes

[graceful burrow]

Stop giving shitty devs the time of day

[dry trellis]

Yeah. It does kind of combat the meta verse thing

[regal musk]

The good news is there are alternatives. Chillout VR is one that seems to be getting a lot of buzz.

[lucid echo]

I wouldn't be surprised if this decision was entirely out of most, if not all, vrchat devs' control

[dry trellis]

Probably

[graceful burrow]

Change devs to company then

It's not hard

[dry trellis]

Like the whole Minecraft chat reporting debacle probably being a Microsoft enforced feature

[lucid echo]

What exactly do you mean by this tho?

Everyone here is just bummed out, it seems

[full fossil]

Well, yea, mojang let players self moderate for over 10 years

[graceful burrow]

I mean what it says
There's no hidden message

[dry trellis]

Yes. I know. It’s also on player private servers still enforced. It’s shit.

[full fossil]

Thats why there are plugins like save_minecraft

That remove the ability to report

[dry trellis]

I know

I wasn’t defending it. I know what’s up

Anyways I came here in the first place to ask who was considering the backpack as I imagine it’s been a topic of discussion

[graceful burrow]

Gives me Dave flashbacks

[dry trellis]

Dave?

[graceful burrow]

I'm not going down that path again sorry man

[polar fern]

microsoft ruins everything it touches. when will we stop collectively/selectively forgetting this?

i mean they named their console "x box" they couldnt even come up with a real name

[graceful burrow]

They called it the Xbox because it used directx transit

Direct x box

[polar fern]

when they heard nintendo "revolution" they named theirs "360"

like come on people

[graceful burrow]

Homie it's not that big a deal its just a name calm down lol

[polar fern]

its lazy

and itsn ot just in naming, its everywhere

[graceful burrow]

Okay bud

[polar fern]

apple "aqua!" msft "azure!"

like ..

"ohh apple did a neat thing! we are neat too!"

[graceful burrow]

The only bad name Xbox has come up with is the Xbox One, which made distinguishing between the original Xbox and the Xbox one confusing for a bit

Other than that it doesn't really matter

[polar fern]

im not saying its bad im saying its lazy

[dry trellis]

Yeah. As soon as W10 loses support I’ll just be doing nothing and use Linux as a daily driver. Keeping my windows 10 gaming machine

[keen jungle]

Windows 10 will probably never lose support

Just like LTE

[polar fern]

yep im planning to move to mint on my lenovo

on my mac mini im planning to ... upgrade the ram? yeah

[graceful burrow]

Already on 11 and enjoying it more than I did 10
What a dumpsterfire that was

[fossil frost]

win11 is fine now that the amd and usb issues are fixed

[graceful burrow]

Better scheduling for 12th gen too

[polar fern]

i run amd so no thanks

[dry trellis]

I just don’t like Microsoft getting more control. And last I heard they were moving ahead with the Microsoft account requirements?

[polar fern]

yep to play minecraft yoiu need a microsoft account

[graceful burrow]

Wouldn't know, I don't have my Microsoft account connected to my windows

[fossil frost]

i log in with a ms account anyway so that most of my settings synced up and my windows licence and a bunch of other stuff, makes things simple

[dry trellis]

Only with the official launcher. They haven’t shut down mojang authentication servers yet. If you’re using a third party launcher and haven’t migrated your mojang account yet you can still use it

[polar fern]

i am aware

i'd rather not drive into a wall

[graceful burrow]

I tried that but the only setting that synced was dark mode

[dry trellis]

I find it annoying when my registry edits no longer matter on the next update and I have to reconfigure things again.

[keen jungle]

Who would like to try a geography challenge? It takes about 15 minutes to do
(i know this isn't related to LTT)

[graceful burrow]

Not me

[gritty minnow]

Does games on ps5/xbox reach 60fps at 4k?

[polar fern]

sure

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the game

[polar fern]

i am a huge map nerd

[gritty minnow]

So its either 30 or 60?

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the game

[keen jungle]

hi transitbiker, I DMed you the quiz

[gritty minnow]

I still dont know what to gift myself on Christmas. A pc or a console.

[keen jungle]

probably a PC imo

[dry trellis]

How much money you got and what games are you wanting to play

[violet hazel]

pc

[dry trellis]

Y’all don’t know anything about what he’s trying to do yet

[gritty minnow]

The thing is im gonna play at my tv. I dont whats the minimum i should pay if i go to pc.

[dry trellis]

What kind of tv? What games?

Will you be using a a controller. How in-depth are you willing to go to get things to work. How plug-and-play do you want it

How much fine control do you like to have

[gritty minnow]

Generic sony 4k tv. Some driving games, nba 2k, fighting games

[dry trellis]

Do mods interest you at all

I might recommend a ps5 then. If you want it to work well Sony+Sony

[keen jungle]

Minimum for those games is probably around 1k~

[dry trellis]

All depends on your goals

[gritty minnow]

No. Im not that knowledgeable in comes to tech but i seen enough tech youtubers that i think i can build my pc when push comes to shove

[dry trellis]

Most people theoretically could. But for the games you’d like to play it sounds like a polished console experience might be what you’re looking for

[gritty minnow]

3060 + i3

?

[tribal night]

is lttstore down rn?

[cyan vapor]

if you want just 1080p, 12100F and a 1660, or even a previous gen i3

[gritty minnow]

Im gonna play at my 4k tv

[cyan vapor]

yep then you need a lot more gpu oomph

[tribal night]

do you already have any of that hardware?

[wind pulsar]

Previous i3s are certainly not worth it

[polar fern]

lets just settleo n 24 frames per second

[tribal night]

i3's in general are a poor value proposition for anything even a little intense imo

[cyan vapor]

for 1080p they're valid

[tribal night]

i guess, but i'd rather pay a little bit more for more headroom

[dry trellis]

I’d honestly lean towards a console. For the games you’re wanting to run and you already having a Sony 4k the two will mesh

[gritty minnow]

Zero.

[cyan vapor]

I'm gaming with an 8 year old i5, and today's i3 are leagues faster

[gritty minnow]

Thanks for the advice.

[tribal night]

i just upgraded from a 3570k to 12600k

ironic considering i was doing heavy CAE on the 3rd gen chip

[wind pulsar]

The 12th gen i3 is certainly amazing value

[cyan vapor]

Yeah I hard disagree on that "general poor value"

[wind pulsar]

The 9350k even today is a good CPU, being unlocked and all

[tribal night]

I'm impressed with how linear the relationship of benchmark score to performance is on the jump between the 12100F and 12600k

[molten drift]

I love that my GPU is op for what I use it for

[tribal night]

diminishing marginal utility is of course a thing but like, I didn't expect the gains to be that high

[austere hemlock]

Lightroom using some ram and cpu importing 12k images and creating previews

[tribal night]

just under half the performance for around 40% cost is impressive

[tribal night]

is it time to dunk on adobe yet?

for gaming I'd just compare 4 core performance and ignore any other benchmark

[tribal night]

I'm looking at passmark scores rn

my problem is I don't really have time to play games anymore. I'm an Electrical Engineer, so I have a 2021 M1pro macbook, and a pc I affectionately refer to as "the big boi"

software dev, meetings, writing, etc gets done on the macbook, but when I need to do stuff like designing embedded compute motherboards, running rigid body dynamics stuff, and doing thermal modeling my PC gets used

which gives me a really weird and laser focused workload that needs weird hardware (think all the crazy stuff Puget Systems does with tuning computers to specific apps) and a pretty small dataset to base my hardware choices on

ofc I do still play cyberpunk sometimes though, and you can't not play CS when you're an EE

on a completely seperate note, when is LTT gonna cover Ampere hardware

that would be a super cool video for someone like anthony or jake IMO

[fossil dirge]

Why don't PC cases these days have an optical drive bay

[tribal night]

mood

[fossil dirge]

So I can install a Blu Ray drive

[tribal night]

I have a stupid USB blu ray drive that just sits on top of my h510

[austere hemlock]

the new fractal case have 2

[molten drift]

Because optical Media has been on a drastic decline

[tribal night]

tell that to Allen Bradley please, I'm sick of getting software keys on CD

[fossil dirge]

That makes sense since nobody is using optical media

[molten drift]

Who

[austere hemlock]

fractal design pop i think it is called

[tribal night]

they make computers for assembly lines, factories, and whatnot

but they have their own "OS" that you need a key for, and it either comes on flash drives or a CD

[molten drift]

Never heard of them and likely never will but if I meet this unicorn of a person I'll tell them

[tribal night]

https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/hardware/allen-bradley.html

[tribal night]

if you've ever been in an elevator before chances are you've interacted with their hardware in one way or another

or any other industrial equipment

[molten drift]

Ok....

I work in insurance customer service from home on a hp laptop...

[tribal night]

fun, I work with their stuff a lot so this is mostly me ranting about constantly needing to find a usb dvd drive at work

[molten drift]

If the need is so great why not just keep one stocked by the stations

[tribal night]

because every time we try and do that it "magically" disappears

[molten drift]

Like their 20$ on Amazon and a roll of tape.

So glue it to the machine

[tribal night]

lol I suggested epoxy but our IT team said no

[molten drift]

Well yeah epoxy releases heatm

Yould want like vhb tape

[tribal night]

something about "warranty" and "we don't think dell would like that"

[molten drift]

Ok. So get a ratchet strap

[tribal night]

that's actually not a terrible idea

zip ties or something is totally a possibility

[molten drift]

Problem solved no fasteners involved and no warranty voided.

[regal musk]

There was some old /r/talesfromtechsupport post about somebody that epoxyed their desktop to a corner underneath their table.

[tribal night]

or maybe they make blue ray drives with a kensington lock

[tribal night]

that's mildly terrifying

[fossil dirge]

I don't see that the new Fractal case has an optical drive bay

[vapid smelt]

i think you need more storage

[molten drift]

The pop does.

It's at the bottom behind the flap

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

[tribal night]

ngl, part of the reason i became an engineer is because I was sick of having to buy things from other people

[austere hemlock]

12TB NVME Gen4

[molten drift]

I'm not sure what my next upgrade to my PC will be... Probably a red cooler if I can find one to match my GPU....

[austere hemlock]

yes, behind the plate on the front

[tribal night]

shudders in old spray painted GTX760 from high school

[molten drift]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GqwCZw

Nah it's the red devil zacc

[tribal night]

I had to match my builds theme, so red spray paint it was

[molten drift]

Not a spray job.

[tribal night]

oooh, that's actually a pretty sick build theme if I'm picturing it right in my head

[molten drift]

The theme is work. God dammit work

[tribal night]

mood

[molten drift]

I use it for chrome, second life, and world of Warcraft.thats it

[fossil dirge]

Alright thanks @molten drift

[molten drift]

Well discord too lol

[fossil dirge]

I found that the Fractual case has a bay to install Blu Ray drives

[tribal night]

I work with a bunch of software engineers who are confused as to why my PCB designs aren't rgb/lightpiped/sick heat sinks

[austere hemlock]

yes, two bays

[tribal night]

I always tell them "gotta make it work first"

[molten drift]

I don't like RGB lol.

[tribal night]

me neither

[molten drift]

The only light you see is the red on my GPU... Which is because it's been a week and I haven't bothered to turn it off yet

[tribal night]

I recently started working for Formlabs, the 3D printer company, and now I'm really into orange and black because it's all I see every day

[molten drift]

Also the rog/Ikea PC stand is so nice by the way it's super convenient to roll the PC case out to plug stuff in

[tribal night]

ok im gonna need a link for that now because plugging stuff in is the bane of my existence

[molten drift]

I just gotta get off my butt and order a longer HDMI and Ethernet cable

[austere hemlock]

the plate with wheels on it?

[molten drift]

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/uppspel-cpu-stand-with-casters-dark-gray-40507785/?gclid=CjwKCAjw3K2XBhAzEiwAmmgrAiKGukWMHNB24271-rxaHMVQVmoAg4EhU1L78QojpQsSreSKlaaDCxoCgIoQAvD_BwE

The very same dalhus

It seemed stupid but in actuality it's quite useful

[austere hemlock]

i have mine mounted unde the desk with raild

rails*

[molten drift]

I don't use a desk

[tribal night]

oh that's really snazzy

[molten drift]

My "monitor" is 65 inches lol

[tribal night]

tv?

[molten drift]

Sony Bravia 4k

[tribal night]

hecc, thats a pretty big "monitor"

[molten drift]

That I use from my bed. Wireless keyboard and mouse

And yes it's mechanical...

[tribal night]

my current setup is a 29" LG ultrawide that I got a while back for main work and a 14" dell monitor on the left for youtube keeping up with slack messages and having work pulled up

[molten drift]

The desk in my room is for my work from home setup

[austere hemlock]

2x 34" Ultrawide dell gaming monitors 😉

[tribal night]

split how?

[austere hemlock]

stacked

[tribal night]

smart, my friend shane (another youtuber) does that with his computer

[molten drift]

I just have the one screen.espically since I can't really use a second screen on all the other devices plugged into the tv

[full fossil]

Hey guys I have a question if I upgrade my laptops every 18-30 months and don't use up that much storage is there a point in going above 256 gb?

A lot of people say 512 is the sweet spot but I have 256 on my current surface pro x and I barely went over 100

[molten drift]

My tv has my 360, Xbox sx , Polk magni mini and my PC in it. Eventually I'll be getting a og Xbox too

[austere hemlock]

Here @tribal night

[tribal night]

I mean, you're the only one who is really gonna know how much storage you're going to need

[molten drift]

That's pretty snazzy

I'm still rocking the default win 11 wallpaper

[full fossil]

I'm really not sure because objectively I use 80-100 on my laptops as I have my desktop for hvy lifting

But everyone says that 256 isn't enough agony

[austere hemlock]

i hate that i went with 256 on my macbook pro

[full fossil]

Oh

[austere hemlock]

but everyones needs are different

only you know what you need

[full fossil]

Can you elaborate? I was thinking of an m2 mac with 256 and 16 gb ram

[molten drift]

Dalhus you don't need every Metallica song in flac format it's ok to let it go lol

[tribal night]

Agh, can’t post pictures yet

[austere hemlock]

lol, how did you know i like metallica?

[tribal night]

I’d personally do 512gb, and the m2 is gonna last you 3-4 years

[molten drift]

Who dosent

[austere hemlock]

i was on a concert like 5 weeks ago

[molten drift]

Jealous

[austere hemlock]

😄

[molten drift]

And justice for all or and justice for bass?

[tribal night]

apparently can't post pictures because I'm new but the setup that I like is Shane's, aka Stuff Made Here on youtube

[molten drift]

https://c.tenor.com/GN18zWPGR_oAAAAM/james-hetfield-metallica.gif

[austere hemlock]

dm?

[vapid smelt]

you cant post pictures in public chat unless your a nitro booster,twitch or floatplane sub, you can in the others tho

[wet willow]

hi

[tribal night]

makes sense

[molten drift]

I got the strongest hankering for a grilled cheese with bacon.

Too bad I'm outta bread lol

[austere hemlock]

Webcam for meetings 🥶

[molten drift]

Uhh I use the intergrated hp webcam

Which is on privacy mode 99.97% of the time

[austere hemlock]

camera cost more than my desktop 😛 and i have i9-10850k, 3080ti, 64gb ram, 12TB nvme 😛

[vapid smelt]

wait you have a gen 4 nvme with a i9-10850k?

[tribal night]

I designed a little circuit board that lets me flip a switch and physically disconnect my webcam's usb connection when I don't want it to exist

[molten drift]

I mean I don't think I can do that to the work pc

I mean I have a nvme with a 3600

[austere hemlock]

yep, waiting to upgrade to a 12 series cpu and new motherboard

maybe i will wait for gen 13

they run in gen3 mode the nvme's

[austere hemlock]

so not full potential performance right now

but i just keep photos on them

[tribal night]

honestly I felt bad about not waiting for 13th gen but then I just bit the bullet and got a 12600k and i'm not even mad

[molten drift]

I wonder what other upgrades I could do to get more preformance in second life.

[austere hemlock]

one photo is like 200MB so they take a lot of space

[molten drift]

I'm thinking a better cpu is my next upgrade.

[tribal night]

the one thing I recommend is getting a board with DDR5, as it's stupid how fast that ram is

going from 1600mhz ram to 5600mhz was night and day

I straight up skipped DDR4 lol

[molten drift]

I mean one sec let me post my current rig.

[austere hemlock]

lol

never had ddr4?

[molten drift]

Not sure where to go.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GqwCZw

[austere hemlock]

why itx motherboard in that case?

just costs more

[molten drift]

Cause I came from an hyte revolt 3 about a month ago so when/if I got am5 I have more availability of motherboards

I just moved my system into a new board then had driver issued so I swapped a new gpu from the 3060ti I had

Guy I sold it to has it working like a star he said .

I couldn't fix it so I bought my 6800xt red devil for 400$

But now I just don't know what to upgrade next lol

[remote comet]

Is that the Sony a II?

[austere hemlock]

A7R III

[iron haven]

Headphones, monitor, chair, desk, house, isp?

[austere hemlock]

with a 24mm f1.4 Sony G Master

[dawn sand]

Where do I find a 5.25" 3.5" hot swap bay and why is there only one?

[austere hemlock]

https://www.icydock.com/

[molten drift]

Polk sound bar got a Sony Bravia 65 inch tv, my bed , Ikea kallax, on the market already, Comcast gigabit

[austere hemlock]

mic upgrade?

[iron haven]

Haha you sound pretty set then. Comcast has multi gig for some regions. Latex mattress is feel amazing. Going full surround sound is awesome but for smaller rooms not the best.

[molten drift]

I don't use voice chat. I use a headset for 8 hours a day.. I don't wanna talk to people.

[iron haven]

Fair.

[molten drift]

My room is bigger than several new York apartments lol part of moving is getting real people sized rooms without 13 foot high Celings when I'm shorter than 5 feet.

[dreamy otter]

Comcast has multi gig in most areas but it's $300/mo

And a hefty install price + contract

[molten drift]

Gotta love the 89$ for 3 year contract I have on gigabit lol

[austere hemlock]

my area dont offer gigabit, but i have 500/500 fiber

[dreamy otter]

We pay only $80ish for Gig Fiber on ATT lol

[molten drift]

I have 1200/50

[iron haven]

60 for gigabit with ziply

[dreamy otter]

Wifi still gets nowhere close even after upgrading to wifi 6 UniFi

[austere hemlock]

Same, wifi6 UniFi

[dreamy otter]

I want to upgrade to their 6E stuff but I have 0 6E clients

[austere hemlock]

this is 2 floors below the ap

i have 2 ap's for my house

6000 ish squarefeet (560m2) (4 floors)

[dreamy otter]

I have two also, I can only pull around 500mbps right next to a U6-Pro

iphones / apple devices don't have wifi 6e / 160mhz

[red breach]

I'm with FiOS, have (just below) top tier TV and gigabit for $160 after taxes and fees

[austere hemlock]

I pay 89$ for fiber 500/500 and TV

[dreamy otter]

We cancelled our Hulu + Live TV subscription we only have streaming services now

[austere hemlock]

i dont use my tv box anymore so i guess i could change the subscription to just internet

[red breach]

yar har fiddle dee dee

do what you want, qbittorrent is free

[dreamy otter]

We just sign up for free trials of the live tv streaming services when bad weather comes now lol

[red breach]

I run a plex server lol

private netflix

[austere hemlock]

I also have a plex server

[fossil frost]

so will most people in here, its not a big thing to have your own plex server, its relatively trivial to do
