Michael i used w7 to the very last day

[night heron]

i got off of windows 7 just as soon as windows 8.1 released

[odd nebula]

Is Langley named after a road or is a road in my town named after Langley

Huehuehue

[odd nebula]

I kinda liked 8.1 tbh

[night heron]

i had no problem with it

windows 10 enterprise ltsc has been the best windows experience for me tho

[wet wasp]

I love breaking bad

Jesse jesse flip a coin jesse

[static idol]

hmm I found Floatplane's Racher instance.

[full fossil]

Since the 7000 series is coming soon, do i keep my current motherboard and upgrade ram to a ddr4 32 gig kit and a r7 5000 series cos the price is gonna fall or do i upgrade to ddr5 16 gig and new r5 7000 with a new motherboard

[ocean narwhal]

next gen ryzen will still be faster as long as u dont need the 16+

[full fossil]

I mean i just wanna play games man

Maybe when 8000/9000 series releases i upgrade

[rigid elbow]

https://youtu.be/Mq-tfxKPN6s

[ocean narwhal]

ryzen 5000 will also be fast enough

[night heron]

dw about ryzen 7000

the price of ddr5 and new socket motherboards will make the total system price a lot higher than if you just go with intel 12000 or ryzen 5000

[full fossil]

Is there a way to delete DC dms i've sent like in one click? and not have to click on one message and than the other one, etc.?

[night heron]

there's scripts people have made online but there's no official way to do so

[full fossil]

are those scripts safe? and do you have any recommendations?

[night heron]

nop i do not

[full fossil]

okay thank u tho!

[ocean narwhal]

oh yeah guarentee that am5 mobos will be pricey

not only because they are starting with x670 but also ryzen mobos have always been increasing in price

[obtuse spear]

Ok thanks

[atomic osprey]

Hey guys

Any software devs here?

[lucid echo]

[atomic osprey]

Hey bro

I'm installing Git

[lucid echo]

congrats

[lavish garden]

Welcome to text support, how may I scam u, I mean help u

[atomic osprey]

It's asking me to setup a default text editor, what should I set it to?

[lucid echo]

whatever you want

I like micro but that’s not usually installed

Nano is probably the “easiest” of the default editors

[atomic osprey]

It has Vim as default, never used it

[lucid echo]

Don’t pick vi/vim unless you hate yourself

[atomic osprey]

is VSCode a safe option?

[lucid echo]

If it lets you do that, yes

[atomic osprey]

Thank you

[lucid echo]

Odds are, unless you’re handling merge conflicts, you’ll never need to edit through git

[atomic osprey]

Yeah, this is just for learning the basics

[wet iron]

What’s the best way to make suggestions to Linus/team?

[lucid echo]

Floatplane comments

[wet iron]

Does that require a subscription?

[lucid echo]

Or chiming in when a staff member happens to be here

[lucid echo]

yes

2-3 videos have been made based on my own FP comments

[wet iron]

Thank you

[echo ridge]

Well fuck cpu and ram lights are on

[bright stump]

i’ve had significantly worse ideas than plugging in two usb c chargers

[near nymph]

Lol just used my LTT screwdriver to fix my air fryer

I dropped it… has to take it apart to epoxy the shit back together

[tiny socket]

is it good considering they needed 3 years to make it

[near nymph]

I thought it was 2yrs

[tiny socket]

ye i think

[near nymph]

My LTT screwdrivers came with scratches. Boop!

Waiting for a replacement to come in lol

[floral sapphire]

You have to epoxy the screwdriver 🪛 or the air fryer?

[near nymph]

Air fryer

One of the panels broke off

Superglue doesn’t rly stick to PolyPropylene

[full fossil]

hello

[warped sedge]

So LMG has employees of who have the last names of Dick and Butt?

[echo ridge]

Lmao

[warped sedge]

They should put them on camera together somehow for the low hanging fruit name pun

[amber spindle]

I need an external backup drive thats usb c to c that'll lost a long time without me plugging it in often, suggestions?

[carmine burrow]

Any hdd drive would work

[amber spindle]

Do hdds deteriorate by sitting on the shelf and not using them?

[tawny thicket]

Yay my house is less likely to burn down now

[uncut axle]

Old work station

[amber spindle]

Data

[uncut axle]

Ima build a new pc next year I think

[lucid echo]

use tapes if you want long-term offline storage

[bleak crow]

Hello!

Just joined on floatplane and thought I’d join the discord!

eyyy i got the role :)

[mental yew]

if i ordered a screwdriver and a water bottle will i get the water bottle soon or when the screwdriver ships?

[mental yew]

thanks

[gleaming harbor]

i wonder how long itll be for the all black screwdrivers to be shipped ;-;

[mental yew]

i bet it will be a while. it doesn't seem like a lot of people are going for black shafts

[gleaming harbor]

😭

[frosty girder]

I am FUMING

so, my OS drive died a couple of days ago

so I ordered a WD 500GB M.2 on amazon

ok thursday

[modest sierra]

should have balled out on a samsung one instead

no hard drive in the box? u ordered an m.2

[frosty girder]

it arrived today, and there is NO hard drive in the box, they’ve just sent the box

[modest sierra]

where did u order from lmfaoo

[frosty girder]

it’s not in the box, they’ve sent an empty box

[frosty girder]

amazon

[modest sierra]

damn thats crazy never heard of that happening before

one time i order 3200mhz ram on amazon and got 3600mhz instead

amazon goated sometimes...

but for my first pc build they sent a fried corsair psu

[frosty girder]

I acc can’t believe this

I haven’t been able to use my PC since thursday

and now I can’t use it till wednesday

[modest sierra]

do you have a best buy or another other pc related store nearby?

[frosty girder]

we have curry’s but it’s 3am tuesday morning, can’t get it delivered until wednesday

[modest sierra]

that's why i like to have a back up laptop for work stuff haha

[ebon otter]

So I was looking at building a new Pc but I need to have a 5.25 4K blue ray/dvd player. Anyone got a recommendation

[modest sierra]

what do u need a blue ray drive for in 2022?

[modest sierra]

also, I think all you need to worry about, in terms of unique components to accommodate your dvd player, is the case

[modest sierra]

i would recommend a fractal design case

[ebon otter]

I have a case but I need to know what Burner/blue ray player to get

[glacial basin]

literally any will do basically

[ebon otter]

Ok good

[stray lintel]

Bruh my whole life I have laughed at people that blue screen all the time
Today I have had 3 blue screens in 20mins what do I do

[full fossil]

what's a trusted mobile repair shop in the metro vancouver area? im in burnaby but can go as far as surrey or richmond

[brazen tendon]

Find something from someone like lg or Sony

[bleak crow]

^

Sony is good

[modest sierra]

sony is goated in almost everything

[atomic latch]

i like the nzxt h510 elite and h7 elite, what are some good similar cases that are good airflow

[vapid smelt]

NZXT H7 Flow NZXT H510 Flow

[kindred sorrel]

Can we have a EDC check?

[atomic latch]

i dont like the flow mesh

[vapid smelt]

[kindred sorrel]

Plex, Plex, Plex, Retro gaming.

[atomic latch]

i use to really like the corsair obsidians

[modest sierra]

nzxt eventually gave into the hate and made a perferated version of their cases lmfao

[atomic latch]

and it looks disgusting

[polar fern]

More cases should be like the one they did the noctua build with

[thorny helm]

Damn, working for ltt looks like a dream

[velvet marsh]

I put my 4k bluray drive in an external

[thorny helm]

Ive been trying to sub on floatplane for a whole hour, app refuses to load

[sonic barn]

Looks like very hard work

Floatplane looks worse since it's a small team

[polar fern]

Any job worth having is going to have its challenges

[sonic barn]

U sure?

A ton of jobs are lay back

Look at data entry

[polar fern]

“Worth having”

[sonic barn]

Data entry is like 60k

[polar fern]

Sounds like a lot of generalisations

[sonic barn]

But now data entry is more like database admins

[thorny helm]

Even so, working for something you are passionate about is a dream

[sonic barn]

Everything automated

[thorny helm]

Nice managed to subscribe

[polar fern]

“Everything” is not automated. My goodness. We are very far from that

[thorny helm]

Oof discord account is not syncing

Keeps kicking me back

[sonic barn]

You don't need to type in records, instead run queries for it and inputting dataset into database from x product or thing

Using a script from javascript or something

[full fossil]

Sucks

[polar fern]

You keep making these vague generalisations

[thorny helm]

I started learning cnc yesterday, loving it so far

[polar fern]

You can’t enter psych eval forms using a script

Gotta type it in

[sonic barn]

You also need paperwork for that

Because if it's medical stuff patient has to sign

[polar fern]

No.

Because it’s not “automated”

It’s not data from a fixed output

[sonic barn]

Well files get put on your record

Medical history

[full fossil]

Guys, so uhm I have homework in my Entrepreneurship class about brands and their 7Ps of marketing.

Do ya guys know about testimonials about Nvidia and Intel cuz it's in the given

[sonic barn]

But yeah anything like that can't be automated because you need person to consent and a doctor to ask questions

[polar fern]

7 p’s of marketing? Is honesty in there? 😬

[sonic barn]

Cursed, ur reminding me of my administration class I had to take 1st semester

I completely forget about them

[polar fern]

My Mac mini is intel based, but I don’t have any testimony

[sonic barn]

Intel stock died

[sonic barn]

Cursed

It's all common sense

[full fossil]

Yeah

[polar fern]

It’s … a lesson in how detaching ethics from products is a very bad idea.

Marketing theory has to learn all kinds of concepts

[sonic barn]

I remember looking at course curriculum for business admin and it's weird

Finance is ok

Business was messed up

[full fossil]

I am in a STEM field class, but there's Entrepreneurship

[dusky patrol]

So now I have yt with ads (premium expired)

[polar fern]

Far be it from me to point fingers etc, but if you’re doing a class segment on marketing, it shouldn’t just be pure theory. They’re should be a more in depth look at past & present methods and outcomes. I hope that’s what you’re doing.

[sonic barn]

Entrepreneur classes should be more like how to start drop shipping aka reselling goods and services

[full fossil]

For us, it's about how to be a good entrepreneur and in the end of the semester, we are expected to create a product to present in class and sell it

[sonic barn]

But instead it's like a kindergarten class

[sonic barn]

I never understood that kind of entrepreneur thing

[dusky patrol]

Foe those that don't know STEM stands for Sience Technology Engineering and Mathamatics

[full fossil]

ye

[sonic barn]

I'd you're starting a business, you usually have others build products

[dusky patrol]

@full fossil my nephews in the same program

[sonic barn]

R&D is done by a team, you are there as the control for the financial and public face

[full fossil]

Oh awesome. I'm in 12th grade tho

[dusky patrol]

He's even a grade higher then he should be

[polar fern]

Should be the 8 p’s of marketing

[full fossil]

Drop out?

[dusky patrol]

No he's 1 grade up

[sonic barn]

Skipped grade

[dusky patrol]

He's REALLY smart

[full fossil]

I see. I have a classmate here who started so early, he should rather be in either 10th or 11th grade

[polar fern]

The purpose of the product should drive everything else.

[sonic barn]

School is different from reality though, you can be good at short term memorization but suck at practical

[full fossil]

The top in his class?

[dusky patrol]

@full fossil ik in china they learn engineering skills by grade 1....

[sonic barn]

China education is cursed

12hr class days

[dusky patrol]

That too!

[sonic barn]

6 days a week

Europe has the right direction for schools compared to Canada and usa

[dusky patrol]

Japan has 6 days a week also (they go to school sundays)

[polar fern]

Academic atmosphere is not always a good space to build a “real life” concept from.

[sonic barn]

Yeah, it's messed up though

[dusky patrol]

It gives teachers 1 extra day to tech lessons....

[sonic barn]

Then everyone can't socialize or work together with others

It's like squid game

[polar fern]

In the US, many people drive around a block, parallel park & then get a driver license. We are very lax when it comes to education in general

[sonic barn]

Competitive by nature

[dusky patrol]

@polar fern in canada we have free healthcare

[polar fern]

Ok what’s your point?

[vapid smelt]

taxes=free

[sonic barn]

Subsidized public healthcare, not free. If you need glasses or certain medications you have to pay up a lot

[dusky patrol]

@polar fern in UK education is free

[polar fern]

Ok and?

What is your point?

[dusky patrol]

And higher taxes means higher wages lol

[sonic barn]

That's a lie

[polar fern]

I’m confused.

[sonic barn]

Look at my province Québec

[polar fern]

I make a statement about how lax things are here & you say something unrelated in response

[sonic barn]

Vancouver is the worst for living conditions if making min wage though

You can't afford food, housing or anything unless you are living with multiple people.

A shed costs half a mill

[dusky patrol]

Yea sorry I was thinking along the lines in uk healthcare AND education is free they pay higher taxes but with free education you can get any job you want

[vapid smelt]

yet the average American makes more then the average Canadian

[sonic barn]

You don't need a degree for jobs

[polar fern]

Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Toronto, New York all port cities. Port cities often struggle with economic density issues

I’m not sure how Chicago too

[sonic barn]

50k cad for a google database technician vs 85k USD same position

Canada is cheap labor

[dusky patrol]

Only if you work at Google

[polar fern]

My point is that standards and expectations here are lax. Nothing to do with what you said.

[dusky patrol]

You need a degree at other places

[sonic barn]

Well I talked with a bank here for internship next year I can take, it's like 25$ an hour cad, however I looked at the same junior position in the USA and it was like 30$ USD which is way more than in cad per hour

[vapid smelt]

The average salary in Canada is 53,630cad or 40,800 USD and in the US the average salary is 55,628 usd or 72,976 cad

[polar fern]

Education has been very broken since the 1970’s in general. People started getting hired in management and the everyday folks actually producing the product or rendering service stagnate

[sonic barn]

This

But cost of living is much lower in certain areas

[dusky patrol]

Managers get paid to much...

[sonic barn]

Retail managers get like 5$ more than min wage

Regional managers get about double

[polar fern]

The US also has 340 million people plus migrants & temp visa folks & a vast system of interlinked sub-economies on a scale that Canada has no way to match

[dusky patrol]

You think I just mean retail managers...

[sonic barn]

Ik just saying it's too broad

Not all managers are paid a lot

[polar fern]

The economy of the US is literally 20 times that of Canada, so wages will reflect that in some fashion

[vapid smelt]

Canada is tiny in population

[polar fern]

Yes

[sonic barn]

CFO CEO and corp are all super high because they have the business as their investment and you're contributing to their investment

[ocean narwhal]

GDP per capita is something like 25% higher in america over canada

or even more im not sure

[polar fern]

Usually the top execs are treated as investments not the other way around

[dusky patrol]

I wonder if linus hires "mangers" tbh he seems to manage alot himself

[ocean narwhal]

Luke is a manager

There are various managers, or just higher level staff, in their departments

[sonic barn]

He's also a dev I believe

[polar fern]

Luke does a lot.

[dusky patrol]

@ocean narwhal is Luke technically the ceo of floatplane?

[sonic barn]

He works on floatplane with his team

[ocean narwhal]

I dont think they have middle managers whos job is purely to manage and do zero actual work

[sonic barn]

Jeff Bezos, Elon musk post 2020

[polar fern]

Let’s not talk about musky

[ocean narwhal]

I just looove snake oils

[sonic barn]

He was cool before crypto though

[ocean narwhal]

vacuum train go brrr

[sonic barn]

He didn't care what people said and just said random stuff

[polar fern]

He was never cool. I’ll just leave it at that.

[dusky patrol]

I like the idea I'd self driving cars to be honest

I'm legally blind and can never drive

[sonic barn]

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1055653541317042177?lang=en

[ocean narwhal]

I will trust self driving cars when the company will take responsibility for their code

[dusky patrol]

You remember the guy "geohotz" who got sued by Sony?

[sonic barn]

He used to work at Tesla all day but then stopped working in factories when he was getting tons of money and did a Jeff Bezos move

[ocean narwhal]

Im pretty sure thats why self driving isn't focused on the transportation sector. No company is willing to take the risk, and tesla wont. But for some reason ordinary consumers are willing to take on the manslaughter charges

[sonic barn]

Then made a ton of people lose money in crypto and nfts

Pumping dogecoin

[polar fern]

Cars are cool till you see this

[sonic barn]

Yeah buses are the future

[dusky patrol]

Elon said he wants to setup a ride Shari g service with tesla cars self driving

[sonic barn]

And trains

Imagine how much waste is produced from a lithium cobalt battery

[polar fern]

Well, just automobiles as a majority part of the transport system is a bad idea

[sonic barn]

Then imagine how repairable Tesla's are

[ocean narwhal]

busses are cool until you consider that the bus isnt going where I need to be

[sonic barn]

There should be more busses for those routes

[ocean narwhal]

Cool, we'll see how much lobbying has to go into protect them before that happens

[polar fern]

We are so car centric that we put roads in all of our alternate transport plans

[sonic barn]

Imagine if there was 5 busses rotating every 15 min

[dusky patrol]

I wonder why drone delivery never caught on....

[sonic barn]

Air space

Air traffic is dangerous

[ocean narwhal]

The gps jammers i have installed around my house

[sonic barn]

You can mess with a system on a plane if you fly a drone close to one

[dusky patrol]

Interesting.....

[sonic barn]

And air traffic controllers have to monitor those

Which can lead to multiple planes crashing into something

Whenever in air space or if you're flying a plane you have to communicate to them to request landing, takeoff and emergencies

Because you're going super fast

[ocean narwhal]

TBF i think delivery drones would be very low flying

That said, they still pose a threat

[polar fern]

@ocean narwhal my friend, the whole transport system is car-centric. Of course the buses aren’t optimised at all.

[sonic barn]

Also drones can be used as weapons

[ocean narwhal]

Plus living in a city is absolutely horrific

until the day the entire planet is city I am not living in one

[polar fern]

How is it “horrific”?

[sonic barn]

Feel like I'll get stabbed

[ocean narwhal]

Traffic, Safety, owning land, etc

[polar fern]

You’re not gonna get stabbed 🤦‍♂️

[ocean narwhal]

Tell that to the nine million cracked out homless people shouting at walls in my nearest city

[sonic barn]

Too much crackheads

[dusky patrol]

Nobody owns the sky above your land.....

[sonic barn]

Most homeless people in city near me can't afford rent so they live on streets

[ocean narwhal]

thats what i mean

[polar fern]

Sounds like you both have quite a bit of a knowledge gap when it comes to built environments

[ocean narwhal]

on the corner, shouting aimlessly

[sonic barn]

They're chill mostly but gov failed to manage housing crisis

[polar fern]

Yeah how dare people struggle in public.

[lucid echo]

[ocean narwhal]

Yes, NIMBY

[sonic barn]

Rent goes up 600% and they get evicted

[polar fern]

Predatory landlords should be held accountable

[sonic barn]

No regulation in rents

[dusky patrol]

And some work multiple jobs to prevent being Helen's It's sad

[sonic barn]

Yeah system sucks

Debt based system

Hope we get a recession and ditch currency so no more consumerism or businesses

[polar fern]

Lots of flawed policy & legacy of brokenness. No none wants to fix things, just grandstand & point fingers. Sigh.

[sonic barn]

So we don't attach a price tag to life

[lucid echo]

Obviously the only rational solution is to lack all sympathy and look down on them

[polar fern]

Clearly

[dusky patrol]

Its my understanding that every man woman and child are a trillion Dollars in debt in the usa

[polar fern]

Almost.

[sonic barn]

World is in a deficit

Massive deficit

[ocean narwhal]

Isnt that strange

[polar fern]

Currency is great but it has flaws. Just look at the GPU market of late

[dusky patrol]

And "momey" has no significant value the only thing that gives it value is how much is circulated..

[ocean narwhal]

mommey

[sonic barn]

You'll see commodities peak during this time though and countries won't afford energy due to limited resources

However that's in distant future

Rn Europe doesn't need energy like media is saying

[polar fern]

I think there should be hard limits on GPU power draws - that’s another whole thing

[ocean narwhal]

why

[sonic barn]

They have filled natural gas storage at higher levels than average back in August with nordstream 1 offline yesterday

[dusky patrol]

It sucks mcdicks won't let you customize your order...

[ocean narwhal]

Just buy a lower end card if you care about power usage; Datacenters will just make more to make up for a unit-by-unit power limit

[dusky patrol]

I used to get a mcdouble like a mac

[sonic barn]

https://agsi.gie.eu/

Europe doesn't have an energy crisis

[polar fern]

Lower end

[sonic barn]

People are pushing the prices up higher for no reason

Which is problem with capitalism

[polar fern]

Or just engineer the thing to draw less power

[sonic barn]

Free markets = manipulation

You make more money off the expense of others

[dusky patrol]

Or move to China they have a literal farmers market full of tech stuff (including gpus) lol

[sonic barn]

Germany will be at 95% gas mid September storage and I bet natural gas eu futures will be 3x for no reason

[ocean narwhal]

So yeah i mean

the market demands higher speeds at the cost of power draw right now. But even if they were very focused on efficiency. I don't think they'd be doing that amazing

[polar fern]

When I see 300+ watts for gpu alone

[ocean narwhal]

How else am i gonna push 700 fps in 4k csgo

[sonic barn]

CSGO is CPU limited

[ocean narwhal]

intel power draw has entered the chat

[dusky patrol]

I've been listening to reddit stories on yt am I weird?

[ocean narwhal]

reddit story yt shorts are ebig

[polar fern]

I’m gonna call it ceepew and geepew from now on

The intull 12 Jen Ceepew

[ocean narwhal]

anyways I mean if you want old-gen speeds for low power draw, buy a phone or smth lol

[polar fern]

No.

[ocean narwhal]

🤣

The only thing protecting power draws from absolute running away is that batteries aren't getting better, so mobile needs restrictive power draws

[polar fern]

What you’re missing is that lower power use in the home is a good goal.

[ocean narwhal]

pretty miniscule concern for most ppl really

[polar fern]

Lower bill, lower grid stress, lower emissions lower demand for new substations etc

Yeah you’re right I guess electric power is infinite with no drawbacks. 🤷‍♂️

[ocean narwhal]

How much do desktop personal computer GPU contribute to global power draw anyways

cant imagine its that much

[polar fern]

Global? I said household

[ocean narwhal]

Well ur talking infrastructure level concerns

[polar fern]

300 watts is a lot for one thing to be drawing

[dusky patrol]

I wonder if solar is useful in colder climates

[polar fern]

Yes.

[dusky patrol]

It's cold here like 8 months our of the year

Out*

[ocean narwhal]

Less sun for most of the year the higher u go

[dusky patrol]

Lots of snow...

Covering the solar panels

[polar fern]

In warmer climates you can cool the PV panels & inverters using water or such. Use the water as part of a domestic hot water heating system

PV panels tend to get and stay warm due to the color and active current in them

[ocean narwhal]

Very jealous of aussies warming their pools on solar panels

[dusky patrol]

I'm jealous of linus' pool heating setup..

Using the heat from his pcs smart

[ocean narwhal]

Lmao if u think a household draws a lot of power

Can u imagine that guys bill

[echo ridge]

Atleast 2

[brave flare]

2

[dusky patrol]

I'd invest in a tank less hot water heater (they are electric)

[brave flare]

I think his office draws way more

[ocean narwhal]

Thankless water heaters are epic

[brave flare]

cuz they got all the servers and stuff

[polar fern]

Sigh

[lucid echo]

Snow reduces the efficiency of solar panels by only ~5%

[ocean narwhal]

Ofc corporations are on a different level

[brave flare]

well yeah

[ocean narwhal]

Datacenters etc

[dusky patrol]

I heard it increases it because of cooling

The snow acts as a kind of cooling system

[ocean narwhal]

Computer.

[lucid echo]

Probably depends on thickness

[livid belfry]

smaller just means they can shove more into the chip and not give a F about POWER EFFICIANCY

well if your nvidia

if your amd however

https://www.amd.com/en/press-releases/2020-06-25-amd-exceeds-six-year-goal-to-deliver-unprecedented-25-times-improvement

Lmao it’s alright really, I was moving against the flow of traffic

Also public transport > cars

[upbeat ridge]

Haha yes

[mossy meteor]

Hahahahha!

I heard they were working alot on the railroad’s the last few weeks

[upbeat ridge]

Well I mean there was a high voltage cable blowing up overhead wires and signalling cabinets

[arctic raft]

Here in Stockholm its always a traffic jam during rush hour and the public transport is nearly always late specially the buses.

can anyone suggest a keyboard under 7000 rs

[tepid haven]

#tech-chat-1 btw. But have a look on keychron, they have some custom and standard ones available for that price such as the V4 and V1 custom keybords

Wouldn't be able to give personal oppinion on em but i've heard theyre pretty good

Hey guys what is a good pc I can build or a prebuilt that will run rust, minecraft and maybe valorant for under $800. Maybe upgradeable too

[inner spade]

Hey
Till when is tab s8 supposed to recieve security updates?
And would it still function normally after updates stop?

[kindred sorrel]

Depending where you are

[trim bough]

🐍

[timid meadow]

$800 is a half decent build rn. Do you wanna diy or prebuilt? Most of us would recommend diy

[kindred sorrel]

I would say diy for this

Most prebuilts of this class using proprietary stuff

Maybe like a microcenter build or something life that could work if you don't want to build it

[slim yacht]

samsung promises 4 years of system update and 5 years of security update
after that your tab will function just fine without issue. you'll probably get a new tab by the time security updates is gone anyway

*note : those promises duration are from release day

so it should be done by 2026

[visual fern]

[rancid turret]

Yeah but does that actually work?

Its kinda crazy how I have this laptop for like 2 weeks and that stuff happens

[sonic barn]

you can't fix burn in

[rancid turret]

But on my monitor I had for years nothing happened

[sonic barn]

only with oleds

[rancid turret]

Well Im not sure if its actual burn in

[long briar]

lcd? it sometimes can fix stuck pixels

when the lcd crystals basically get "stuck"

[sonic barn]

most of the time its power issues for that

[lucid echo]

what type of screen do you have

[long briar]

it's rather rare with modern panels and not worth trying

[rancid turret]

Where can I find that?

I got a laptop

[lucid echo]

Is it OLED or LCD

[upbeat ridge]

lmao my dad just came to me and went like “hey, I have 12 with the option for many more switches, with one fibreoptic connection, one gigabit port and 4 10/100 ports, the gigabit and 10/100 ports all have power over Ethernet, what can we do with this”

[sonic barn]

if you have it plugged into outlet with like 2000w psu then you'll get weird monitor issues depending on power outlet's output

[long briar]

for OLED you technically could somehow make a negative of the panel burn in, let it sit just enough to counter the original burn in

but that's not flashing lights and needs color to be dead accurate

[rancid turret]

IPS, so LCD @lucid echo

[long briar]

is the pixel showing?

[rancid turret]

According to google

[tender glade]

im sorry about that guys

[long briar]

mm?

[lucid echo]

What does the burn in look like? Have a pic?

[rancid turret]

Its just like a browser which I cant close if that makes sense

[long briar]

sounds more like software issue tbh

does it show up in screenshots

[polar fern]

Do laptop oled still do that weird pixel oscillation thing?

[lucid echo]

@rancid turret DM'd me this pic

[rancid turret]

[upbeat ridge]

This took a literal year for stupid “dumb” switches because they were purchased for the C2000 (emergency services walkie talkies network in the Netherlands that is heavily guarded due to safety) and things don’t just get approved to give away

[long briar]

i see it

[lucid echo]

Trippy this doesn't usually happen on an LCD panel

[long briar]

how long has it been there

[polar fern]

A wacklight? 🤨🤔

[rancid turret]

Give or take 10 minutes

[long briar]

it should go away with regular use in about 30m

some panels just do that

[rancid turret]

So nothing to freak out about?

[long briar]

come back in about an hour

[long briar]

very very unlikely an actual issue

[rancid turret]

Maybe just to be sure I turn on the light thing for an hour?

[long briar]

no just use it normally

[lucid echo]

Just use the computer dude

[rancid turret]

Aight

I’ll keep you updated

[lucid echo]

No need

[keen shore]

not great for color accuracy when that happene

[long briar]

wat

[lucid echo]

I doubt they're doing color work on there

[polar fern]

You could also use a clean, dry tissue & apply gentle pressure to the affected area of the screen

[keen shore]

i doubt they view colors

[long briar]

99% of monitors that'd you'd want color accuracy on wouldn't have rather major issues with the diffusion layer and won't suffer from image retention

[polar fern]

There is a reason why there is a market segment specifically for colour accuracy

[cunning rivet]

Holy sh*t, switched from my monitor audio jack to the headphone jack (mobo audio jack is broken) and the sound is back to AMAZING.

[long briar]

that monitor guessing is from late 2000s to 2010s

[dusty rune]

my friend has been searching for a curved ultrawide with good color accurancy below 500$.. couldnt help him

[vapid vortex]

Backpack is here!

[lucid echo]

Fun fact, about 90-95% of your vision is not in color - Only the fovea has enough cones to make out color. Your brain fills in the rest of your vision without you noticing.

[polar fern]

The monitor’s audio output needs an EQ.

[long briar]

technically you can calibrate that msi one which had good coverage and meh accuracy iirc

[vapid smelt]

Nerd

[dusty rune]

damn, sanic got nerd'd

[polar fern]

👀

I should probably fill and run the dishwasher brb

[keen shore]

do it in song

[cunning rivet]

Basicly I ran my speakers (DJ monitors) through my monitor because the mobo jack is broken. Sound was okay. But now, when I got a new audio cable, and routed it to y headphone jack, sjees the sound is amazingly better.

[polar fern]

Oh also I’ve noticed it looks like all of the screwdriver pre-orders will be sold in the next week or so. Pretty crazy

Yeah the circuitry attached to the internal audio header is far superior to the one in the monitors typically

It’s a little preamp in there usually

[long briar]

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00119146

avg srgb deltae of 2.53 which is decent but not amazing, but it completely covers sRGB so it can be calibrated. Black uniformity still aren't amazing but it's fine

[polar fern]

Usually if you have audio coming from a monitor it should go into a DAC with an EQ built-in

Okay I really need to load and run the dishwasher now

[long briar]

(for reference anything under 2 can be considered accurate for most people)

[long briar]

or your monitor's dac's audio dynamic range is garbage

I'm still rocking an ultrawide from 2015 and the headphone out on that is rather noisy but that's the extent of it's issues

[rancid turret]

@long briar @lucid echo as Im using it the tearing is fading away so yeah should be fully gone in like 20 minutes

[lucid echo]

Please do not tag me

https://tenor.com/view/starwars-han-solo-tag-youre-it-stormtrooper-gif-20240479

[long briar]

I know what the outcome would be... I've dealt with stuff like this because of paranoid ppl all the time

literally trust me bro lmao

[keen shore]

heard lots about samsung dac on flagships. meh. sometimes same song perceptually has run-to-run variance, regardless of eq (on, off, flat) even though it is 24bit.
like the sound is being modified and expanded from to give off a quality

[long briar]

16 to 24bit? virtually unnoticeable for playback

[keen shore]

yeah

[long briar]

eq should be tailored to your own hearing

[keen shore]

its muddying the sound for my ears

[long briar]

the uhq mode on samsungs could lead to playback to playback variance

but with anything remotely well mastered it shouldn't make much diff

[long briar]

then eq better

you can learn using a parametric eq such as equalizer apo and peacegui

or with mobile, poweramp eq set to parametric mode

[keen shore]

i installed apple music and was underwhelmed by the flac masters. sounded ok on my desktop though

[long briar]

flac is only a compression algorithm to a wav container, it doesn't signify sound quality

[keen shore]

had that for 3 months to sample all the different flacs

[long briar]

because if the data in the container was crap to begin with it wouldn't matter

[keen shore]

It says on the store whether they've been remastered for a lossless master

[long briar]

the difference for well mastered flac and an mp3 at 320kbit that was compressed from that flac is not noticeable for 99% of people

[keen shore]

It's very noticeable over the headphones for me I really don't like the FLAC because the MP3 is designed to hold sound the certain way with the psycho acoustic recording and compression and to me the songs that were originally designed for that sound profile don't sound right outside of it

[long briar]

doubt it

[keen shore]

But that's only if the song was designed for MP3 I can really hear it

[long briar]

unless you had a really low bitrate file

a 128kbit for most people are still fine

but personally I can't listen below 256 before compression artifacts become very apparent to me

[keen shore]

Yeah but it breaks the psycho acoustic profile of the sound and that really held some magic for me, so I don't really even like to change formats when something is mastered for a specific delivery
And YouTube has re-encoded all the media off some original server stuff and it all sounds weird too, now... for me.
I used to spend hours listening to music on YouTube but it just doesn't hold the same ring for me
I used to listen to the same song 100 times

[stray apex]

the fookin wot

[keen shore]

I used to rip the files off YouTube so I have a small sampling of some of the songs I used to like
Before they got re-encoded, that is
It's a shame I didn't mirror the entire YouTube music section because it's not the same anymore for me

But I rather the Javascript that ran the code to play back the media, it sounded better than playing it in Chrome directly. so I used to prefer playing it off the actual site

[gilded quest]

finally someone who gets it

[misty scarab]

what headphones should i get for pc that are under 100 usd but sound good and are uhh whats it called
closed something
where it blocks out noise

[topaz ridge]

Closed back

DT770 Pro 80 ohm comes to mind but those are more like $150

Surely other people have better recommendations though

[misty scarab]

what do the different ohm means

[topaz ridge]

Impedance. Not exactly sure how that corresponds with how they sound, though

[gilded quest]

the short version is that higher impedance requires more power to run (aka high impedance headphones might require the use of an external amp)

[night heron]

i would recommend a dedicated amp for just about any headphone

manufacturers spend like $0.05 on their onboard audio

a $7 apple branded usbc->3.5mm dongle is genuinely leagues above any motherboard audio output

real

i would try out iems (in ear monitors)

theyre just pretentious earbuds but theyre a lot more comfortable

ah okay

based and speaker pilled

i was like what the hell are barefoot speakers

then i looked at their price tag and said oh that would be why

much higher than my wage bracket

[finite cloud]

AKG K361

[finite cloud]

Usually doesn’t. At most will provide better bass response and less volume

[topaz ridge]

Impedance doesn't directly correspond with volume either, it's just an electrical characteristic. Any idea why they offer different impedances anyways?

[night heron]

a lot of the time a specific headphone will be tuned differently depending on the impedance

a dt 770 80ohm and 250ohm sound different in more ways than just volume

[finite cloud]

It’s supposed to be for “studio” versions but really the DT 770 can be used on anything

[night heron]

but i wouldnt get a dt 770 anyway

[twin raptor]

Difference between resistance and impedence?

[night heron]

i say that as an owner of them

[misty scarab]

those are over 100 usd tho? unless im not looking at the right thing

[night heron]

@misty scarab #audio-tech

[topaz ridge]

Thanks for the info

[night heron]

if u go in there and give them information such as your budget, preferences, what region you're from, what devices you have, etc, then they'll give you a good suggestion

[topaz ridge]

Yeahhh wasn't sure if that was a great recommendation

[night heron]

dt770 is like the cherry mx blue of headphones

in the way that people who know nothing think that loud cherry mx blue keyboards are cool

the dt770 gets glorified by people who know nothing

[topaz ridge]

Impedance is similar to resistance but also considers other things like capacitance and inductance. It's sort of like resistance for non-dc signals

[twin raptor]

Ah thank you

[finite cloud]

Something like that

[twin raptor]

This part I understood, but thanks anyway

[topaz ridge]

My bad lol, I've never tried them but I've seen them recommended for studio-related uses on the cheap

[night heron]

no need to apologize my man

i own dt 770s and bought them because i fell for the same thing

i do like them for a lot of songs but i just happen to like music they're suited for

[gilded quest]

I've been looking into DT770 Pros and DT700 Pro X since I've never owned a pair of closed backs

[vapid smelt]

Cut them

[jovial depot]

i did suggest that but he was like nah

[halcyon ocean]

y

[jovial depot]

idk... i told him to plug out the plug from the outlet but he has his gta 5 downloading and he lives in the middle of nowhere so he has really really really bad wifi

[halcyon ocean]

oh no i mean unplug the rgb, not the whole thing

[jovial depot]

didnt know you could do that cause i dont have a pc

hold on let me ask him

[pliant karma]

I see so cutting life support of the pc. Got it

[jovial depot]

cutting the rgb lights genius

[halcyon ocean]

i mean he'd probably have to go into the pc to do that

[jovial depot]

he can do that. time is all he has

[halcyon ocean]

but i don't see any other way besides actually finding the app

[jovial depot]

he cant find it. task manager, Windows Accessories folder, etc

[halcyon ocean]

it's probably third party

[jovial depot]

yea

or the lights were prolly faulty

Sorry i realised the image could be visually triggering

Yes. 🤣

[frosty orchid]

I meant to get one. I'll wait a little longer. I have plenty of tools. but the Driver is very well made. it was interesting to see the process.

[molten drift]

I want the indoor hoodie to restock..

[frosty orchid]

I really want the Super sized Orange towel for the beach. but it all gone for now.

The only thing I like more is my MoCap long sleeve shirt from Digital Corridor. but it wore out fast and beaded up with lint.

[quick blade]

does anyone have a windows + chrome OS flex dual boot setup?

chromeOS flex isnt playing well with dual boot

[frosty orchid]

What was the reasoning for making such a set up?

[quick blade]

potato laptop

[molten drift]

Kudos to Linus for selling over 75,000 screwdrivers so far.

[quick blade]

i wish to give an old laptop some new purpose

[slim yacht]

a 3100 ay? thats a combo people dont do alot

[solar owl]

Hello

[gilded quest]

interesting pairing

[quick blade]

gpu being bottleneck

[gilded quest]

^

[quick blade]

i wont suggest doing this

3080 is a mighty card

[solar owl]

any windows 11 enterprises u reccomend

[slim yacht]

well no shit sherlock i was wondering why the hell did he pair 3100 with a 3080

[quick blade]

"cuz why not"

[slim yacht]

i could understand 3600 but 3100?

[frosty orchid]

I know it's computer Heresy, LOL. it's one 570S board to boot.

[slim yacht]

[quick blade]

i recall people in the old days hoocked up their i3 6100 with gtx 1070

same story different characters

[frosty orchid]

it's my IDK test rig for Linux stuffs. I"ll upgrade it later.

[quick blade]

dont bottleneck ppl pls

[gilded quest]

if you're not playing at high refresh rates its not a big deal

[quick blade]

you are underestimating how much power the 3080 eats

[solar owl]

fr ;p;

[quick blade]

my friends 3080 bench caused house lights to flicker

[slim yacht]

even if you play at 144 that would consume 3100 indefinitely
3080 is way too powerful for shit under 1440p

[solar owl]

lol*

[quick blade]

legit i felt scared

[solar owl]

Does anyone have a windows 11 enterprise theyd reccomend that i can i pirate lol

[slim yacht]

upgrade to 12600k / 5800x3D i guess if you can
stonks performance

[frosty orchid]

Yeah reason I didn't go with the 3090Ti. That can keep you warm in the winter time.

[quick blade]

the other day i was looking at a comparision vido between gtx 1080 and a rtx 3050

rtx 3050 is bit better than 1080

[slim yacht]

we dont talk pirate here ma dude

[quick blade]

i couldnt believe it

[glacial basin]

just play at 4k

[solar owl]

mb

[quick blade]

no talks on piracy or you get the hammer

[slim yacht]

cpu usage 100% gpu usage 50%

[solar owl]

ok soerry

[quick blade]

ram rip

hot take : 4GB ram is still nuff for 2022

[gilded quest]

just pay $50k/year to a university and they'll give you W11E for free!

[glacial basin]

more like CPU usage 70% GPU usage 100%

[quick blade]

cursed ideas

[glacial basin]

4k ultra ez

[quick blade]

playing at 4k is stupid

[slim yacht]

with a 3100 ? doubt

[quick blade]

1080p is enough

[solar owl]

yep, so worth it for a windows version, only 50k a steal

[slim yacht]

with 3080/3090 it makes sense
card is way too powerful lol

[quick blade]

1080p looks good all the way to 40 inch

screen

[slim yacht]

wait for 4000 series later as well, that is like almost double what current card can do
and also at double power consumption that is

[quick blade]

4k is honesly bragging

1440p is best of both worlds

[gilded quest]

have you tried corrective lenses?

[quick blade]

bruh

[slim yacht]

1080p 27 inch is already disgusting in it itself
40 inch 1080p is best for satellite tv lol

[quick blade]

i manage to spend decent time with a console running at 1080p and 4k

the difference was very small

not worth the extra compute power

[frosty orchid]

4k or Nope

[slim yacht]

lemme guess was that ps5?

[quick blade]

ew

[quick blade]

custom chinese console

[gilded quest]

imo it depends how big the display is and how far you are sitting from it

[quick blade]

the test game was need for speed the run - i honesly saw no difference to justify the extra compute horsepower

i dont think 4k is justified

just an opinion

[slim yacht]

yeah you need corrective lenses
for pc gamers youre very close to your monitor, if you go beyond 24 inch on 1080p you'd notice pixels right away from your viewing distance
thats why people recommend going 1440p over 24inches

viewing distance when playing consoles are far different than on desktop monitors

[quick blade]

i think you are misunderstanding what im saying

[frosty orchid]

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy with RTX on in 4k was Pure powDer-ed Coke (Soda I mean)

[quick blade]

im saying that 4k is not justified since running it requires alot of power

[glacial basin]

my grandpa has a 27" 4k monitor

[gilded quest]

on consoles I'd agree
running at 4k isn't worth it

[slim yacht]

if you play on console and you like 1080p then do what suits you well, on desktop however thats not really true especially when you have a 3080 and above
and considering you already have 3080 you'd probably already agree to an energy tax youd consume

[gilded quest]

on pc, its more nuanced

[quick blade]

its like going from 60 to 120 (very noticeable) - anything beyond that is just niche category

[slim yacht]

may i ask why sir

[glacial basin]

I have no fucking clue

[frosty orchid]

Honestly the RTX3070 is the sweet spot for Perf/Watts. I shouldn't have sold mine

[glacial basin]

he plays solitaire and browses Facebook

[quick blade]

1080p or 1440p is enough for most people

[glacial basin]

RX 6800:

[slim yacht]

my got got himself a 4k monitor and browse facebook

[gilded quest]

actually 4k makes sense
if he's looking at a lot of text then the scaling provided by 4K will make it look better

[glacial basin]

150% or 100% is what he uses

[quick blade]

ive used 1366x768 for 4 years - from that the biggest jump in resolution i felt was 1080p - 1440p and 4k didnt seem much improvement to justify cost

this is what im saying

[gilded quest]

i doubt your grandpa is using a 27" 4k monitor at 100% scaling

[slim yacht]

going from 144/165 to 300hz are very very noticeable dear sir
thats why high refresh sells well
it is not niche when you use it

[glacial basin]

I'm using 1600x900 at 17" right now

[quick blade]

not as much as going from 60 to 120

[glacial basin]

I even used it at stock settings (1600x900 @ 40hz) for like 2 years

[quick blade]

there is a difference indeed - but not that much as 60 to 120

[slim yacht]

its basically as much
youre doubling refresh period and also much more consistent response time on your monitor
it is very very noticable

[frosty orchid]

Reason I stay at 60fps gaming, so I don't have to struggle with change.

[vapid smelt]

Sorry you were born with poor eye sight

[quick blade]

i see - i have yet to experience refreshrate beyond 144 xD

[quick blade]

you still do not understand my point - im talking about value

$$$ value

[slim yacht]

lol i went to 300hz a while back
Tried going back to 165hz
never have i gone back to 300hz so quickly

[glacial basin]

40hz to 60hz is a massive jump

[ocean narwhal]

ppl are bonkers who think you can't tell the difference between refresh rates

[frosty orchid]

I can totally understand that. Your eyes adjust to the FPS after a while.

[gilded quest]

using my ipad is such pain
tis only 60Hz

[glacial basin]

I gotta wear glasses, can't really tell 4k from 900p

[quick blade]

the perceived difference falls proportionally as the refresh rates goes up - my summary

get the 1440p - 165hz sweet spot ; anything beyond that is very expensive

[slim yacht]

of course higher end monitors are gonna cost more
its an open market, and if value is in mind you probably wont even consider going for high end parts

[quick blade]

indeed - no one has inf money

[slim yacht]

you can get like an acer nitro with 300hz 1440p costing somewhat similar to 1440p 165hz
you dont lose as much anyway, theres many value monitor that does decently well out there
you can find value if you want to

[quick blade]

the "best" premium experience one can get in a moderate budget is the 144-165hz range

300hz monitors are stupid expensive

[ocean narwhal]

not to say that 144 or 165 is bad by any means but yeah if you stare at 300hz for days and days then you'll be able to tell the difference
