I'm currently living at grandma's, my actual "real" home internet speed is 20mbps

too bad 1mbps up

[rugged dagger]

where are you from if u don't mind sharing?

[full fossil]

indonesia

[rugged dagger]

oh kk

Well are there any big providers?

Idk if they have fiber anywhere

[full fossil]

yeaah that's happening rn at my real home neighborhood, construction has been going on for a few months now

[rugged dagger]

are they rolling up GPON?

[full fossil]

the big two are firstmedia and the living meme that is indihome, they have wide reach into the rural areas

the rest are smaller ISPs that are mostly stuck in big cities and it's outskirts

[rugged dagger]

oh I see

[full fossil]

but those smaller ISPs have better deals and speeds, but most importantly fiber

[rugged dagger]

let me look em up on BGP tools

I can't find their ASnum

Oh

[foggy hatch]

Random question
Does iOS 16 break YouTube PIP?

[rugged dagger]

They have a single 10gbit port to the wide internet

Somewhere in Poland

Wrong flag. Indonesia

Yeah so first media could theoretically handle 10 customers at 1gbps, 40 at 250 doing full transfers across the globe

They proabably have more than 40 customers with the 250 plan

Ah, nevermind, one of their upstreams has a 150gbit port at equinix Singapore

[full fossil]

How much does yours mobile data cost in Canada?

I can get 100gb for £20 in the uk

[foggy hatch]

US is https://www.verizon.com/plans/unlimited/

I can’t give you exact numbers due to many factors

Also they have an Apple One plan

https://www.verizon.com/plans/unlimited/

[rugged dagger]

at Digi I can get unlimited starting at 2 eur/mo

[full fossil]

It would cost me £35 for unlimited data with a speed cap

you get that feeling of trying to chase your childhood high results in insanity?

Igtg at school

[rugged dagger]

Well if you go past 50gb you get capped at 20mbit on 4g and 100 on 5g

[foggy hatch]

Verizon has many unlimited levels. The more expensive ones are 50gb at high speed. The rest is throttled in times of congestion

Also what extras do you get like hotspot or the Disney Bundle

[rugged dagger]

Mickey mouse 4G TDD antenna if you get the Disney bundle 😉

[foggy hatch]

TDD?

Show me it

[rugged dagger]

It's a type of band

[foggy hatch]

Which carrier would you pick based on coverage only? Verizon or T-Mobile? I put the maps in #screenshots

The reason that West Virginia (WV) has little coverage is because https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Radio_Quiet_Zone

[foggy hatch]

Like am or fm? Or like the Beatles

I’m going to bed. It’s almost 4am for me

[trim meteor]

is it possible to run a minecraft server off NAS?

[graceful burrow]

Ye

Not one of those all in one nas systems like synology has though

A nas you build and set up yourself definitely can

[trim meteor]

do you have to install java on the nas or do you need a custom firmware

[graceful burrow]

Depends on what nas os you choose to go with, if you decide to go with something other than windows

[trim meteor]

i mean it would probably be running windows server ye

[graceful burrow]

Tons of resources and guides online

[trim meteor]

ok ill take a look ty

[full fossil]

the largest I can pay for rn is 55GB for 10 bucks

wait no there's 62GB for $14

[manic torrent]

Looool, testing Far cry 6 on my egpu, gets 33 FPS in 4k and 31 FPS in 1080

[small flint]

Some do

[gilded obsidian]

its the same as the 12..

That being said I preodered it for my wife because her digitiser is shot

[halcyon ocean]

i like how there's a new 48mp sensor but it's not usbc so no

[green kernel]

me: knows Pascal perfectly, as it is one of best newbie languages and as in my opinion extremely underrated and has enough stuff for all you want to do
my teacher in uni: Pascal ? what it is ? we learn crapton only, it has that one thing that requires a bit more definition in Pascal but pascal would execute anyway 10 times faster with compiler optimizations and be so much more intuitive

[slim yacht]

its a worthwhile upgrade if what youre looking for is 14 pro max battery life
its got alot of things right in that package and is quite an upgrade over older 13 pro max
buying 14/14+ is basically buying 13 in a refreshed package lol

im still gonna stay on android tho despite all this mesh of features

[sonic barn]

iOS sucks compared to android

Also you'll lack full control over your device

[slim yacht]

gestures are complicated for first timers but ios are meant to be super simple to use
androids are somewhat like that but youre free to customize/set anything you'd want ( much more freedom )

[sonic barn]

Yeah and apple, only they can use your data

Android you can install something like lineage and then choose which apps you want to use

[slim yacht]

'sucks' is not what i would call it, iphone users tend to like those simplicity
i obviously dont, thus android

[sonic barn]

Android is pretty simple though

[full fossil]

Hello so i put two noctua fans and thermal grizzly kryonaut on my 2070 S and now idel at 28'c max temp 63'c with a overclock.
2145.0mhz core clock
1962.7mhz memory clock
With this mod would my 2070 s be in 2080 territory but with less cores? or just a super super card now been stable never seen temps over 70'c after mod

[slim yacht]

what does this mean exactly?

[sonic barn]

Apple still uses your data

[slim yacht]

well all operating systems use your data

surprisingly enough linux too

[woeful minnow]

with linux its almost always opt in

[sonic barn]

https://www.techtarget.com/searchcio/news/252524774/Apple-Sephora-settlements-shine-light-on-data-privacy

[woeful minnow]

if its not theyre usually just taking hardware info

[slim yacht]

yeah but generally anything that relates to operating systems will usually have some of your data chunks in store for whatever the reason is

[sonic barn]

Those are mostly hardware info

[slim yacht]

only difference is with IOS, their users usually have no clue/ or 'safer' apparently lol
and with android we just dont care

[sonic barn]

Same with android if not using stock android

Iphones can get hacked just as easily as android phones

[woeful minnow]

im assuming by "stock" you just mean preinstalled

not literally stock android

[slim yacht]

its very hard to jailbreak an ios lol
apple specifically made it that way

[sonic barn]

Preinstalled like google stock android

[woeful minnow]

yeah but also like samsung's or xiaomi's preinstalled versions

[sonic barn]

Yeah

[woeful minnow]

which arent "stock", but they are "stock"

[sonic barn]

Basically not how google envisioned

Aka selling telemetry and user account data

[slim yacht]

if youre talking stock android then its just stock android directly from google
other forms you find from oems are called custom ui

they have different names for each other, but if 'stock', then its just directly google stock android

no one ever called a samsung oneui a 'stock' samsung before

[woeful minnow]

yeah but in the literal sense of the word it is stock for that phone

its unchanged by the user

[sonic barn]

If something runs at a preconfigured version of Android by OEM it's stock

They are in control

[slim yacht]

nah, stock for any android devices are google stock android on the get go
the ones you find for that specific phone is a skinned version of the same operating system

[woeful minnow]

yeah ik but technically it could be called stock

[slim yacht]

thats why theyre call 'ui' at the end of their name instead of just calling it android 'version'

[sonic barn]

Yes but they control that version rather than the user

[slim yacht]

no? you still have the normal android user control same with stock android
the only difference is the skin and feature set that comes with the skin

and also some preloaded apps permanently embedded in the skin

[sonic barn]

I mean with the whole needing an account to use the phone

[slim yacht]

is that not ios tho? normal android phones generally just needs a google account login for google play services

[sonic barn]

They collect account data

Just like apple got busted for with icloud

Google is tied to your email

[slim yacht]

well of course they do. its android with a custom skin

[sonic barn]

So you're always using their service based on your account

[slim yacht]

even with custom roms you still need an account to run google services

that is unless you just give a superuser permission to apk sideload app lol

rooting/flashing custom rom in general does not really make u escape from getting your data collected, youre just free to do shit with android since its linux based system anyway. a 'superuser' can do anything they want

the fundementals are the same as with desktop system

[wary summit]

haven't used discrod for ages

probably should end my nitro

[wary summit]

or just use it with APKs, no google at all

i did that, its a pain in the ass, but the phone was never connected to WiFi or Cell Tower

(you never know though unless you take out the fucking celluar module)

[sonic barn]

Nitro is pointless

I had a max spec surface pro 5 and it could run a lot of games

i7 7660u 16gb ram 2tb ssd

I played the ori games on it. However sold it like a month later

Because I fixed the thing after it was locked in a boot loop

Undervolt the cpu

Use xtu or if the bios allows, lower the voltage the CPU operates at

[fossil frost]

laptops overheat.. its just how modern laptops are because of apple making people think that thinner ones are better

[sonic barn]

YouTube is your friend

[night heron]

undervolting and repasting a laptop can get you a 25c cpu temp reduction sometimes

it’s pretty huge

[carmine merlin]

1. clean out dust
2. (if 1 not working) Re-paste

[sonic barn]

Undervolting can boost your battery life as well. Had a razer blade 14 and after fixing the DC in thing and stuff I used it for about a year. You could get like -120mv and if configured to run at 0.8mhz max, then you'll end up with 10 hours of straight battery life and the CPU never consumes more than 4watts with the GPU also undervolted as well

[slim yacht]

again, no

didn u say u wanted to get refunds?

[sonic barn]

Right now I use a Thinkpad x13 4650u pro and 16gb ram but the thing can't get undervolted

5 hours of battery life from 80%

[slim yacht]

might i remind you that latest mobile chip are locked from uv lol unless your oem allows for unlocking in bios

surface is just not built for anything gaming

[carmine merlin]

could be that when they re-new'd it, they did not bother re-pasting (or at least use a crappy paste). Other than that, I don't really know

[sonic barn]

They also lock down the bios for undervolting purposely

[slim yacht]

much smaller heatsink (meaning smaller heat spreading area)
much thinner build (theyre meant to be portable)
fans dont kick in unless youre really pushing it (a bad thing, you throttle first before getting cooled, and also surface in it itself does not have the capacity to cool the chip)

they also fit in low power chip for the reason of it being used as a productivity based devices instead of gaming. if it warms up with chrome, you should just return it

[sonic barn]

I tried flashing a custom image on a t14s Intel model and it just instantly reverted and cancelled it

They have chips designed just to stop you from altering it's trash bios

Helps with security though because you can unlock the device like that

[past egret]

lol

[slim yacht]

screw it i dont wanna type that agian

[sonic barn]

I'll shave your fur ✂️✂️

[slim yacht]

no
same chassis layout and thinness

[sonic barn]

What do you plan on using it for

[slim yacht]

a normal 15 inch laptop can literally overtake it with passive cooling if you want to game

[sonic barn]

Gaming laptops are pointless

[slim yacht]

im using one, how so?

[sonic barn]

You're better off getting a solid laptop and building a desktop, then streaming from your pc whenever

If something breaks in a laptop it's better to get a new one unless parts are cheap, however with a pc you can upgrade since it's more modular

[slim yacht]

heat degrades hardware much faster

[sonic barn]

Voltage not heat

[past egret]

!?

[slim yacht]

?

[sonic barn]

Yes I'll turn you into a vegetable

[slim yacht]

in laptops it definitely does

hardware degrades over time anyway
what you can do is slow it down by not putting more stress on it

[past egret]

when pc hot it melty

that is no good

[slim yacht]

not really true. gaming laptops are not what it used to be
their performance are quite good that it can replace your desktop on the go

[sonic barn]

It's good as a protogen toaster

[slim yacht]

i used one personally right now, had a 2080 super build
Replaced it with 3070 laptop, performance are quite similar lol

[golden talon]

Voltage kills electronics and heat speeds up that process

heat cycling is probably an even bigger killer though

[sonic barn]

You're gonna be lugging around a 5 pound laptop and a beefy charger everywhere and praying there's an outlet

[slim yacht]

cooling is also handled well even at full 80w load with temps maxing out at 81 degree c
so yeah gaming laptops are quite reliable now

[golden talon]

Gaming laptops are great for a specific kind of people

[slim yacht]

my laptop last 12 hours on battery

[sonic barn]

But you're gaming right?

[golden talon]

Being able to take all that horsepower around to LAN and other places is just super useful

[slim yacht]

i dont game outside
why do i need to game outside of home lmao

[past egret]

floods and house fires

[junior kraken]

the same reason you would need to game inside, to kill time lol

[past egret]

tornados and earthquakes

[slim yacht]

also 5 pounds is not that heavy lol
its pretty weird how many of you are weight sensitive

[sonic barn]

I can game stream from my college at my house 26km away with my main pc

[past egret]

incidental gas leaks

[junior kraken]

well it's very considerable on your lap

[sonic barn]

Touching grass

[golden talon]

thing is I hated my gaming laptop so i replaced it with my desktop and a macbook air for work on the go

[junior kraken]

having 5 pounds on your lap over 2 hours would not be comfy

[night heron]

if i had a laptop i wouldn’t want it to have a dedicated gpu

[slim yacht]

unfortunately im not the kind to play games outside of home lol
the reason i buy gaming laptop in particular is so that i can game with powerful hardware at home and have 12 hours battery outside since i do computer engineering

[night heron]

id rather have a lower power apu with a giant battery

[sonic barn]

Indeed, I tried out a ton of laptops and lighter is always better

I can even use the Thinkpad perfectly with gloves in the winter

[past egret]

who

[slim yacht]

ive tried 6 hours with 5 pounds, it doesnt feel heavy at all.
maybe because u guys just prefer light laptops lol

[golden talon]

My macbook air gets 20 hours of battery off a single charge and has enough power to run basically any productive app well

[sonic barn]

Walking 10km a day with a laptop isn't fun

If it's heavy

[golden talon]

it’s also the second thinnest laptop in the world and one of the lightest

[junior kraken]

maybe you just jacked idk, coz everyone i know with a gaming laptop would not be willing to do 2 hours happily

[fossil frost]

maybe different people prefer different things, and just because you dont like something doesnt mean that everyone has to dislike it

[slim yacht]

eh my gaming laptop is top heavy instead of bottom
actually helps alot because weight distribution is perfect

some other gaming laptops weight are designed heavily different to mine

[sonic barn]

It's a good way to hurt your back though

[junior kraken]

im not saying that they shouldn't do it, if it works for you, you do you always

[golden talon]

gaming laptops are fine (except MSIs they’re garbage)

[sonic barn]

You put razer over msi?

[golden talon]

Yes. MSI is really really bad

[past egret]

whats wrong with msi

[slim yacht]

new razer blades is okay
i can even say its decent
msi gf lines lmao, avoid at all cost

[golden talon]

What ISNT wrong with MSI? Lol

[sonic barn]

Do a quick Google search for "razer QC"

[fossil frost]

it might be a good way for YOU to hurt YOUR back, but not everyone

[sonic barn]

Their laptops are engineered to fail

[golden talon]

I made an entire reddit post on how my MSI GS75 just completely fell apart after 3 years

[past egret]

ig youre right

[junior kraken]

tbfair, i think they design their laptops to last such a duration

[fossil frost]

for instance, i could quite easily strap on a 20kg backpack and go and run 10k in under a hour with that weight on (or 45 minutes without it)

[past egret]

my gp73 died last month after 4 years

[slim yacht]

i game so macbook is not a choice
and i only do maximum of 8 hours day, and my gaming lappy can do 12 hours so its pretty gucci to me

[sonic barn]

Put the mosfets under the heatsink and let the fan be silent with their vapor chamber pushing all the hot air onto voltage regulators. This is fine....

[golden talon]

that’s fair but why not just build a computer for home since you only game at home anyway and then put that money towards a cheaper ultrabook

[slim yacht]

also programming on macbook is jeezus
about one of the most annoying thing i can experience

[golden talon]

??? Programming on mac is hella easy wtf

[junior kraken]

battery life on laptops seems to have gone up, i remember my first laptop barely going past 3 hours

[fossil frost]

because different people prefer to do things different ways, and its up to them to choose to do what they want

[sonic barn]

xcode looks like an awful version of vscode

[golden talon]

I’ve been programming on mac for years now

[junior kraken]

not when you need to use windows only programs

[manic torrent]

programming FOR the macbook is the suck

programming ON it is fine.

[golden talon]

I’m not taking shots, I just asked why they picked one route over another

I’m interested in their thought process

[sonic barn]

I mean it's Unix so you'll be having the same experience as on wsl or Linux

[fossil frost]

thought process for most stuff like that is "because i feel like it", and theres no more to it than that

[junior kraken]

if a macbook can run stuff, it's great but sometimes classes require windows only stuff which isn't very fun

[sonic barn]

Although Linux lacks a lot of c# and .net compilers

[golden talon]

What major language can’t be coded on mac?

[slim yacht]

i dont like to have many different devices laying around. one that can do everything is a good deal to me over 2 things that does seperate things

[fossil frost]

what?

[golden talon]

So let him say that. You didn’t need to say that for him.

[junior kraken]

coding isn't a problem, doing a coding degree is because college might want to use certain software

[manic torrent]

powershell. kek.

[sonic barn]

There's not much programs for it aside from the paid intellij crider

[slim yacht]

i mainly code on distro and windows so mac felt very annoying to use
this two platform deals with code in a much more friendly way

[golden talon]

Yuck powershell

[sonic barn]

Vscode can do programs but you'll be pissed off with compilation times

[manic torrent]

Powershell is like visual basic and bash had a baby, and it had foetal alcohol syndrome

[fossil frost]

you can run vscode on linux, you can run any version of dotnet from dotnet core onwards on linux.. and all the compilers work exactly like they do on windows

[sonic barn]

Also not proper debugging tools like in intellij stuff or vs

[fossil frost]

there are perfectly good debugging tools built into vscode and dotnet for linux. i use them frequently

[sonic barn]

You need a ide that supports it though

Not many for c# on Linux

[slim yacht]

amd ryzen H/HX/U chips is so efficient now it makes even gaming laptops last so long.
pulling like 2-3w only for the whole system makes battery a good experience in laptops
im using a 5900HX myself

[fossil frost]

rider, vscode, eclipse, monodevelop,

[sonic barn]

Vscode is a code editor aka glorified notepad

[fossil frost]

thats 4 i can name off the top of my head

[sonic barn]

Rider is paid

[fossil frost]

you didnt say they had to be free, you said there are no ide's

[manic torrent]

everything is glorified text editor

[sonic barn]

Eclipse is good though

Never heard of monodevelop

[slim yacht]

yeah basically

[fossil frost]

and yes, full fat visual studio is a glorified text editor with some extensions...

and with the C# and .net extensions in vscode, you can get a lighter, but almost comparable experience

[slim yacht]

vs and vsc are probably the best looks tho imo

[sonic barn]

You can customize the different modes for debugging and testing

[fossil frost]

you can do that with vscode

[sonic barn]

And optimize it

[fossil frost]

you can do that with vscode too

[sonic barn]

Ew

🤢

[slim yacht]

vsc extension, theyre amazing lmao
you can just do everything with it

[fossil frost]

the fact that you dont like vscode, doesnt make it bad, or not an ide, it makes you closed minded and unwilling to actually try it out

[sonic barn]

I have to use it for my college classes

[junior kraken]

so there are free ides that can do it, you just don't like them

[sonic barn]

Last year I lost like 15% on final project for not using vscode

Which counts for 30% of final grade

[golden talon]

Thats BS lol

[sonic barn]

Indeed

[slim yacht]

youre specifically told to use vsc or?

[fossil frost]

no, you didnt, you lost 15% because you did something wrong... you didnt lose 15% for not using the IDE they asked you to do

[golden talon]

fuck kinda college does that

[sonic barn]

Forced to use

[manic torrent]

I use VS code, I use notepad++, I use idea, I use vim, I use the browser..... mehhhhhhhhhhh

oh also visual studio

also a bunch of DB tools

[junior kraken]

yea there prolly were other reasons, colleges won't do that, not without reminding you a thousand times anyways

[manic torrent]

^^

[fossil frost]

@manic torrent : same as me. using whatever tool is best for the job at the time

[sonic barn]

I use the intellij stuff since it's free for me

However I have stuff like dbeaver and open sourced stuff

[manic torrent]

also, often enough I will get told to do something stupid - it's my job to make it clear that it's stupid. If they say do it anyway - not my problem. I'm happy to get paid to do stupid shit

dbeaver is A+++++++

[sonic barn]

Yeah it's cleaner than intellij imo

Datagrip

[slim yacht]

pretty sure your college allows for any ide's / distro to code to your liking
one is not limited to use specific ones. even us computer engineering side is not focused on one ide alone eventho object oriented programming effciently ultilizes turbo c++

[fossil frost]

just finished a project at work that is exactly this :)... product team wanted something to be built a stupid way... i offered a much better way, which the CTO agreed with.... but the product team said get bent... and wanted it done their shit way, because "thats what the customer wants it to be like"... so had to build the shit version

[sonic barn]

Our school is boomer programming, we do java 8 stuff

I might drop out though

[fossil frost]

teaching java isnt "boomer", and using "boomer" in that incredibly ignorant way, shows that you have a lot to learn

[slim yacht]

java is actually a good language to learn, very freaking useful actually

[sonic barn]

We can't use any new libraries or features introduced

[junior kraken]

for a lot of older companies, they still run java 8 on the servers/backend. so there is a chance you need to be able to work with that environment

[fossil frost]

java is a C based language, and a C based language your college is already set up to teach. they are teaching you "how to program" and also "how to understand C based syntax" at the same time. they are not teaching you how to rely on modern shortcuts, they are not teaching you how to be lazy, they are teaching you how to think for yourself and solve problems on your own

[sonic barn]

Also they spent 3 weeks on for loops 1st semester

[sonic barn]

I learnt c++ basically on my own

[golden talon]

Man I wish they went that slow at my college. Loops would take half of a lecture here

[fossil frost]

so did i, when i was about 13, and at 37, i still understand that when i was 18, at college, doing a delphi course, i had to sit there, and go through it, so i could get the piece of paper that says i know what im doing, because that piece of paper helps you get a job when you are young

[sonic barn]

It's like 10hrs of classes each week

[slim yacht]

one of my lecturer in the past : you dont write codes since codes are everywhere now, what you do is learn why your code works that way. if you can understand that, you can write on your own.
funny story, this method actually worked for us

[fossil frost]

it doesnt matter that i completed the entire 2 year delphi course in a little under 2 weeks... , i still had to turn up

[sonic barn]

Idk but college lectures I don't like for learning

[junior kraken]

that's how i see my college as well, i am doing it for opportunities and um social skills

[sonic barn]

I prefer written stuff

[golden talon]

That sucks, we’ve got 2 lectures + a recitation a week

[sonic barn]

2 lectures 2 labs

Comes out to around 10 hours

[full fossil]

🐮

[junior kraken]

i have 4 hours per course per week

[sonic barn]

Then I got English, humanities which are pointless and makes me needing to stay at the college from 8 to 6

[junior kraken]

like 18 hours overall

[sonic barn]

Takes me hour just to go to college

[fossil frost]

gonna give you some free advice.... tough... suck it up... you have to do a lot of things that you dont like as a professional developer... there is always somebody above you who is going to ask you to do something you dont want to do... and somebody above them making them do that too... and ultimately, a customer who is paying for it, so there is no choice.... so, learn to deal with having to do stuff you dont like, because you are going to need to be able to deal with it properly

[sonic barn]

Truth is I don't want to work for other people irl

Did enough of that

[full fossil]

nobody does

[slim yacht]

my guy this is why you apply for system/infrastructure engineer
things rarely fails and you have a relaxing job

[fossil frost]

then you will have customers, and, you work FOR customers... and customers will ask you to do stupid shit... and they are the ones that pay you

you always ultimately work FOR someone, because the money comes from somewhere, and that somewhere gets to decide what you do

[sonic barn]

If they're paying then it's for my time

[junior kraken]

your time doesn't mean your decision tho

[fossil frost]

no, they are paying you to do a particular job, the way they ask for it, and if its not done the way they want, they wont pay

[sonic barn]

If you're freelancing you're under no contract obligations

Afaik

[slim yacht]

nah theyre specifically paying you to save their time instead of yours
you have set time limit to finish the job and get payed

[junior kraken]

well you need gigs to freelance, can't just do non-existing stuff

[fossil frost]

if you have no contract, they are under no obligation to pay you either

[sonic barn]

Then you don't work for them unless they pay?

[slim yacht]

its even worse if you actually work with big developer companies

[fossil frost]

freelance/contracting, will always come with a contract... and that contract will always stipulate that you do the work they ask you to do, their way, and you get paid at the end, when you have done it

[junior kraken]

^^, you will prolly do contracts with each customer to make sure you get paid

[fossil frost]

feels like you have a lot to learn about the world and how it works, and how the world of business works

and when you do enter the real job market, you are going to have a very rude awakening

[sonic barn]

But you don't have an obligation to do anything after your work is done

[slim yacht]

thats assuming your job is done

[junior kraken]

they decide when your work is done and not you

[fossil frost]

the job is done when the customer agrees its done, and they wont pay until they agree its done

[slim yacht]

you can take deloittle for example
this people run banking monitoring systems and have alot of outside freelancers working to develop for them
you are given this agreement letter with this pay and this time period to finish it. whats also in that letter is instructions how the job should be done. you dont meet their requirement, you dont get payed

sometimes after your hard work and time spent and u fail, they wont even pay/reply to you ever again

simply put, you work on their terms not yours

[fossil frost]

ive had this happen... even after doing the job exactly right, early too... they paid, i handed the project over, they pulled the money back through the bank, and stopped answering emails and calls

[slim yacht]

they usually just advertise what needs to be done, you take the job and u complete is as per their instruction at a given time period
that means you signed a contract lol

[slim yacht]

you can charge them for that actually
especially when theres no reference to why it is not accepted and payment is revoked

[fossil frost]

the legal fees would have cost more than the payment was worth

[slim yacht]

ah shit true

im still wondering how did we move from talking about gaming laptops to programming and then job contracts lol

[fossil frost]

the only other time it happened was 2 years ago, the company i was fully employed by, just closed down when the covid furlough, and stopped paying everyone, stopped everything. so i got a new job, but also kept the £2000 laptop i had from them. and the £3000 test server i had from them in my attic too. got a new job about 3 days later, didnt even miss a payday 😄

[sonic barn]

Someone mentioned macs and programming on them

[slim yacht]

oh that was me lol

[sonic barn]

Pog

Did they go under

[slim yacht]

so tldr, coding is fun anywhere you feel comfy doing it
gaming laptop is really good if you chose the right one
some may consider having a desktop and then a laptop to separate work gaming life

[sonic barn]

Usually stuff like that is their assets though

[fossil frost]

by choice, yes, while also claiming 100's of 1000's in government money

[sonic barn]

Damn they did the stimulus exploit

[fossil frost]

yes, they are their assets, they owned them. but they fucked me over, so i fucked them over... i still had keys to the building (that didnt have cctv) for about 3 months afterwards... i was almost tempted to go and collect a few more laptops too... but ended up not doing

[sonic barn]

I like how the companies were supposed to pay more for their workers but all of them pocketed the money

[fossil frost]

now i work from home full time. its in my contract that im a fully remote worker... been here over 2 years now and been to the office for a "fun-day"... twice... and on those 2 days... we got free food and beer all day

[sonic barn]

Is remote fun

[fossil frost]

you need to be incredibly strict with yourself... my xbox is next to me... my tv is next to me... beer is in the fridge... my running shoes are near the door... its very easy to drift away from working and spend your day "at home" rather than "at work"#

i do enjoy not having to commute though

even though my commute used to be 20 minutes each way. and my new commute would be 40 minutes each way at the most... but... its more time back in my own day

[sonic barn]

Nice

[fossil frost]

i would say that its not for everyone, not everybody would be able to do it... and... i would say that everyone SHOULD work in an office for a few years first, to "get it", and get how business and working life works.. before committing to remote working

[sonic barn]

Hmmm

But do you think jobs that don't need office space will continue for in office workspaces

Rather than doing everything online

[fossil frost]

business people like people in the office, even if they dont NEED the office... its all part of them wanting to be in control of their business... some business people are coming round to "its cheaper to not have an office", but most business people are older people, who think that the world should stay the same as it always has

[night heron]

remote working is going to get gradually more common

certain things it just can’t work for

[fossil frost]

gradually is the key word there... and i think you missed out "very" in front of "gradually"

[night heron]

most things it can’t work for

[sonic barn]

Well yeah physical in store locations can just be warehouses and e-commerce done online

[night heron]

basically only jobs done solely on a computer

can’t replace anything manual labor

[sonic barn]

Yet

Soon those robot dogs will flip burgers

[manic torrent]

I work from home. I go into the office one day a month.

[sonic barn]

Healthcare, dentists, etc will always have humans though

[night heron]

that’s lit

i would if i could

[manic torrent]

And when I say the office - it's a co working space, so there isn't wasted dedicated space

Oh. I worked out my far cry 6 issue on my laptop. My single threaded performance over a few seconds is great, but it is quite low over more time. Multi threaded is perfectly good (low power ultralight laptop). This means that I get 30-33 fps in far cry regardless of settings, but I run 1080p high on Forza and get 80+ fps

[bold dew]

Should I buy a iPhone 13 pro or the new default iPhone 14?

[golden talon]

13 Pro

[polar fern]

Omai I’m green

[deft kiln]

Without looking - how many videos do you think LTT has with more views than they currently have subscribers

[halcyon ocean]

13 pro

[manic torrent]

7

[deft kiln]

Answer is....1

[manic torrent]

eh, I was close enough on an order of magnitude.

[deft kiln]

Wish.com PC has 22Million views, next most has 14.6M views, channel has 14.8M subs.

Linus wasn't kidding when he said none of their videos has ever gone viral

[manic torrent]

IT's no Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)

1,283,960,384 views

[deft kiln]

MrBeast has 40, CGPGrey has 50+

[finite wigeon]

Hello

[manic torrent]

yeah, because it's that way by design - LTT is solid dependable videos. It's a blue chip youtube channel 🙂

[latent geyser]

is it somehow possible to use RAM as VRAM

[manic torrent]

tldr no.

[latent geyser]

:/

[graceful jackal]

technically igpus do that

[golden talon]

Yes and this is done in almost every laptop in existence

[full fossil]

hiiiiiii

[neon mesa]

wdym your pc does it all the time

the "shared gpu memory" is literally your gpu using your ram as vram when its vram is full

[manic torrent]

It really isn't.

[neon mesa]

then there's vega iGPU

[manic torrent]

Yes.

[neon mesa]

which straight out uses the RAM as VRAM

[manic torrent]

The "tldr no" is because if you have an igpu you wouldn't ask the question and it sucks anyway, and if you have a dedicated card, you kinda sorta can, but the reality is you can't.

[latent geyser]

on a PC

i have 32gigs of ram and im hitting my 8gig vram limit on my gpu on msfs so i'd like to dedicate like 4 gigs of RAM to VRAM if it was possible

[golden talon]

It’s done on PCs with integrated graphics

[neon mesa]

yeahh the gpu uses ram as vram sort of like how windows uses pagefile as a fallback when ram is full

[manic torrent]

Yes, but given the way the question was asked, that doesn't matter - it is also stupid because any workload where you needed that much ram would be shit on an igpu

[kindred sorrel]

I need some pictures for my website and stuff, are there places to go to get that done

[manic torrent]

No, no pictures on the internet

[past egret]

you mean like stock images?

[kindred sorrel]

?

[neon mesa]

before i got my dgpu, my vega igpu hits like 4GB RAM usage when i touched halo infinite

[kindred sorrel]

Personal website

[past egret]

or do you just need more pictures of spiderman

[manic torrent]

... the GPU does not do this at all. This is entirely driven by the app

[neon mesa]

i'm gonna intentionally drive up a game's vram workload

[manic torrent]

... and what would that prove?

[neon mesa]

the usage of ram

[past egret]

that his pc sucks

[kindred sorrel]

Should I just go ro the park with a remote shutter

[manic torrent]

As I said, it's driven by the game engine, the GPU doesn't page out memory.

[neon mesa]

it's still something used as a fallback when vram is full

[past egret]

maybe just catch him on the fly

[manic torrent]

GPUs are driven directly, it is nothing like using an OS that pages out

[neon mesa]

doesn't matter what pages it

[manic torrent]

It really isn't. If your workload exceeds the ram, it simply doesn't work. It can page out and in assets for sure, but you can't access anything not in vram.

It is not at all analogous to using an OS to manage memory

In the example supplied, Microsoft flight simulator simply needs more assets in vram than will fit. There is no resolution to that, other than to add more vram.

And given that adding more vram is generally extremely difficult, that means you need a new video card.

[neon mesa]

games don't just refuse to work when it's not enough

they just, go to shit performance

[manic torrent]

I see you haven't played AAA games on ultra in 8gb ram.

[neon mesa]

i mean if you got 8gb ram there's probably not even enough ram for the shared gpu memory in the first place

[kindred sorrel]

?

[fossil frost]

a gpu will remove stuff from vram, and put new stuff in, but, if you have 8gb of vram... and you need 9gb of assets loaded at any one time. it will 1. crash. 2. refuse to load in the first place. 3. be dogshit slow if the assets are streamed in and out from and to system ram, which is incredibly slow for a gpu to do

[kindred sorrel]

So put camera with facial

[fossil frost]

depends on the engine and how its designed

[neon mesa]

3 is what a lot of games will do

fps will just go dogshit

[fossil frost]

thats an over generalisation

1080p doom eternal on nightmare will pull 9gb

ultra-nightmare with ray tracing can push 12

[manic torrent]

Most games, especially older ones, simply don't use that much vram, so it doesn't matter

[sharp steeple]

VRAM usage and games is often misunderstood. Used vs. allocated, big difference.

[manic torrent]

But you want HD textures, high detail maps, open world, 4k, ray tracing... It adds up real quick

[manic torrent]

.... Allocated vs used vram is more or less irrelevant

Given that in the context of a game, it's effectively not sharing.

[fossil frost]

yeah, read "allocated" as "reserved by this particular application and nothing else can touch it"

[manic torrent]

Obviously I meant 8gb vram

[night heron]

also have to consider vram speed

[manic torrent]

Ehhhh, allocated to this application to have if it wants. It doesn't necessarily mean it's not being touched

[night heron]

you can only be using 8/16gb and still be vram speed limited

[manic torrent]

Not for the purpose of this discussion

[night heron]

yeah idk what you’re discussing

haven’t read the chat

[manic torrent]

This.

[manic torrent]

Because of this

[night heron]

using dram as vram swap would be kinda buns

vram is way faster

[graceful burrow]

Happens automatically for most things iirc

[night heron]

i dunno

[latent geyser]

yeah AAA gamer problems

[night heron]

i’ve played most of my games with max textures/meshes/models, and medium lighting/shadows

without antialiasing

[storm rune]

Was the beat saber modding discord deleted

[night heron]

[storm rune]

Cause I can’t find a link at all

[manic torrent]

I mean, in that it moves assets in and out of memory as required, but if your working set doesn't fit in, you're boned.

[graceful burrow]

Shared memory should kick in and use dram for swap/page/whatever you want to call it

Hella slow tho

[austere belfry]

do i lose performace since my 1050 TI is running in pcie3 x8?

[graceful burrow]

No kek

[austere belfry]

no wonder half the pins are missing

[fossil comet]

If I Wanted to run a mid to high end PC with a 5800x and a 3060, while also running a few AAA games with lots of extra room for files etc. How many SSD'S shoukd I run and how big?

[graceful burrow]

7 with 128gb each
It'd be funny

[fossil comet]

Ok that would be funny

does it

[graceful burrow]

You can't just say "a few AAA games" and get anything resembling a good answer
We don't know what games
AAA games can range form 7gb to 250gb
Look up the games you want
See their sizes
Add them up

[fossil comet]

about 500gb of games

[finite cloud]

A terabyte SDD for games is what id go with and a 500 or 1tb ssd as a boot drive

[fossil comet]

Ok

[turbid grove]

Hi all
will the new x670 or x670e and b650 or b65E will have ddr4 ram support? or they just ddr5 only?

No support for ddr4 at all

[dusty rune]

that looks ass

[austere belfry]

probably would be less wallet bulge with a real wallet

[lilac sage]

thats the Ridge wallet megazord, dont judge

[near nymph]

Yeah… I’m happy with only my cards. I have 1 Card for the Bar, 2 Debit Cards from two banks, and 2 credit cards and a ID

[dusty rune]

[near nymph]

I like the card 😂 it’s orange

[near nymph]

Go ask faculty to see what to do

Please bro i seriously need tips and steps

[near nymph]

Yes… go ask faculty.

Report it to the school

[full fossil]

They wouldn't do anything they even don't know how to operate computer

On my side what all can i do

[near nymph]

Nothing.

You already changed ur password and two factor.

[lucid echo]

Your school has an IT department. They will know what to do

[near nymph]

Just make sure you remove the browser shit

If you report it to the IT department. They might be able to delete the emails

[full fossil]

Already reinstalled clear windows deleted all temp file data etc

[near nymph]

I mean nuking your install of windows works…

[lucid echo]

Ofc change the password of any other account that reused the same one

[full fossil]

Just to be on safer side🥺

[lucid echo]

Report it to your school

to the IT dept

[halcyon ocean]

if they don't know, what's the worst that will happen?

best to atleast try it out

[lucid echo]

500 people were emailed. They need to be notified/emails deleted

[halcyon ocean]

i was talking about taking a visit to the IT dept

[full fossil]

Y’all seen the new 4090! Beefy as f

[fluid ridge]

i will now be using my xray vision to look at your RBC debit, BC services, and RBC avion credit card

[fluid ridge]

i really want an apple card

[gilded quest]

mmmm credit card debt

[dusty rune]

credit card debt

[near nymph]

Not hard to get

[fluid ridge]

hard to get if i too am a canadian living in british columbia

apple card is exclusive to the US

[near nymph]

Even an a Canadian

[fluid ridge]

[near nymph]

Except why get it when the benefits don’t rly work here

[fluid ridge]

because it looks nice

and no fees

[near nymph]

Unless you have USD income

It doesn’t make sense

[fluid ridge]

my bitcoin is making me gajillions

ill just withdraw in usd

[near nymph]

Send in your passport to the IRS.

Get a TIN

And a friend with a place in the USA

You can apply there

You’ll probably need to establish credit in the USA doe

Canadian credit doesn’t work down there

[fluid ridge]

help me pick a credit card

#off-topic

[gilded quest]

if you don't one yet you should probably consult your bank on a starter card

Hey, does anyone know if the WAN show has its own discord? or just floatplane? im new to discord and im trying to add all my favorite things.

nevermind, i think i just found it, im silly

[lucid echo]

#the-wan-show

[slender willow]

thank you!

[lucid echo]

Just a channel. Floatplane doesn't have its own discord, just its own set of channels on this server

[slender willow]

yeah, i think im starting to understand how it works, so, this is the go to page for ALL LTT stuff?

[lucid echo]

Yep. There's a dedicated LTT Minecraft discord server, but aside from that it's all here

No memes. Don't be weird. Use the Principle of Charity. Welcome!

[slender willow]

thank you!!! im mainlyhere just to stay up to date with all LTT news. Im gonna start trying to find all of the other servers ive been interested in. thanks for the invite and info!

[polar fern]

It can be a bit tiresome at times but I am thankful to have the resources regardless.

I am also glad that I was able to treat myself to the screwdriver as the other ratcheting screwdriver that I have is almost 70 years old and should probably be treated as an antique and cared for as such

[errant vigil]

Guys, i have to get a new pc and i am currently waiting to get gen 13 intel cpus and series 40 gpus
I am currently checking the leaks and with a budget of 1500 euros i probably wont be able to afford a 13700k and a 4070, any tips?

Can i switch the 13700k to a 13600k?

[polar fern]

Definitely make sure if you get a pre-built that it has good memory, I/O & storage

[errant vigil]

Nah im building it

[polar fern]

And the case should have plenty of ventilation

And the power supply should definitely be as high quality as you can afford

[pine dew]

what would you say is the "best" headphones for gaming is ? (i know there isnt one that is very best best obviously XD)

[errant vigil]

Never did it and i am going to put a lot of money on the line but idrc

[lucid echo]

Depends on budget. Answer is probably something in the thousands of dollars

[pine dew]

coz i haave the Astros A40 TRs MIX AMP PRO

[errant vigil]

I have a pair of razer nari essentials and i love them, very comfy and they have good sound

[pine dew]

but i feel like i could of gotten better....

[gentle slate]

is reddit scuffed for anybody else

[errant vigil]

They are like 100 bucks but i got them for 50 from amazon

[gentle slate]

The frontpage opens just fine. But posts and subreddits say theyre broken

[pine dew]

budget of just under £400 i would say

[errant vigil]

Why do you need an upgrade, those look very good

[polar fern]

I use a koss UR20 & Logitech H390. Both are good for games and music. I can’t imagine paying more than $100 for headphones or a headset unless you do audio production stuff.

[pine dew]

what the a40 TR mix apm pro ?

[errant vigil]

Yeah

[lucid echo]

Senn PC38X and the Astro A40 TR are both popular recommendations

[echo ridge]

Bro what

[pine dew]

i feel like i could have gotten better sounding headphones...but i might have these set up wrong... idk

[polar fern]

?

[echo ridge]

70 year old screwdriver

[polar fern]

I think I was pretty clear… what are you confused about?

[echo ridge]

How what that screwdriver not dead

[polar fern]

My grandfather knew his hand tools.

[errant vigil]

Probably some issue related to the set up, my razer nari essential sound very decent considering i paid 50 bucks, gaming doesnt really require any crazy audio quality

If you want good sound then get open back headphones

[polar fern]

[sonic barn]

intel's stock is dead

[quick prairie]

[sonic barn]

it got its stuff delayed

[sonic barn]

[latent geyser]

does someone know if it's possible to make your own streamable? with your own URL and shit

[quick prairie]

if you know what ur doing yes

[latent geyser]

i meant is there some sort of tutorial or something that i could use

because starting from "scratch" is not something i can do

[unborn flare]

streamable?

oh

[latent geyser]

it's a place to upload your own videos but they are gone after 90days and 720p only and 250mb file limit

[sonic barn]

streamable? what's that?

[unborn flare]

the video hoster

[unborn flare]

yea i get it

[sonic barn]

you can host a local server on your network

or through the internet through p2p

[quick prairie]

theres some open source software somewhere but i dont remember what it was called

[latent geyser]

i have a VPS with storage and i'd rather use that than pay another 13 dollars a month

• benefits of using my own URL

[quick prairie]

ye a vps would be more ideal

[sonic barn]

why not just get a nas storage array

[latent geyser]

because i already have an existing vps with lots of storage

[sonic barn]

bruh

what's the problem then

[latent geyser]

i don't want to build a NAS storage array and then self host it and deal with port forwarding

[unborn flare]

so you aren't paying for that?

[sonic barn]

you can link it to your main pc

[latent geyser]

why would i pay EXTRA to get something i can get it for "free"

[sonic barn]

are you a student

with microsoft stuff at school

[latent geyser]

no i do not have azure or similar shit

well i abused github pro and wasted the 100 buck credit but that was a while ago

[unborn flare]

ye

[sonic barn]

do you get free office

[latent geyser]

i pay for my own subscriptions

[sonic barn]

bruh

[latent geyser]

no longer a student

[sonic barn]

sadge

[latent geyser]

it's like 13 bucks a month lol i dont mind

but i do mind spending 13 bucks a month unnecessarily

[sonic barn]

you could just do a p2p connection

[latent geyser]

doesn't that involve having people download videos?

i don't want that

i already have a vps with a bunch of storage which is not being used that much whereas i find myself using streamable often but the limits aren't fun

if i can just repurpose that and get something similar for myself, then it sounds p good

[sonic barn]

no you basically link your computer to the network then have it accessible through its key

[unborn flare]

only if you allow it

the key

[sonic barn]

sort of like how you can remote into a computer

[latent geyser]

i don't want anything to be linked to my main computer

[sonic barn]

you can use a raspberry pi

[sonic barn]

its like 15$

[latent geyser]

no, they charge absorbent amounts for them here

[unborn flare]

<<pie

[sonic barn]

Yes eat the pie

[quick prairie]

theres literally no raspis in stock anywhere rn

[sonic barn]

delicious

[sonic barn]

ebay

[latent geyser]

i don't want anything to be connected to my home computer or my home wifi

[sonic barn]

bruh

[quick prairie]

150€ for a pi4 here

wait no

80€

[latent geyser]

?? it would save me some hassle actually because no need to worry about network issues

[sonic barn]

just get an old office pc from like 2012

20$ cad

[quick prairie]

electricity

is expensive

[sonic barn]

solar panel

[latent geyser]

i am already paying for a vps with a bunch of storage and would much rather reuse that than pay more for a NAS server/pi or similar things

[quick prairie]

its easier to just get a vps then

[latent geyser]

and i already have one

[sonic barn]

well

[quick prairie]

yes

[latent geyser]

which i get at a discounted rate because i pay yearly

and i want to use THAT VPS, not do shit on my home computer/network

[unborn flare]

yes

[quick prairie]

understandable

noone wants to do that

[latent geyser]

and now, the main question, do you guys happen to know any OSS software that does this now?

[quick prairie]

im searching

[unborn flare]

you are not gonna run it at full utilisation anyways

[latent geyser]

thanks, i'll try as well but haven't been having much luck

[sonic barn]

its just gonna be running a terminal

then you can open stuff within it

move stuff from that to ur computer and whatever

it won't use a lot of power even viewing content locally

[quick prairie]

even if its just 20w thats still 50€ a year

[sonic barn]

could prob limit the cpu to like 3w

[quick prairie]

if its running 24/7

[sonic barn]

no one runs computers 24/7

[unborn flare]

and it can be used for other things too

[sonic barn]

you can wake up by the network

[latent geyser]

yeah but the point of using a video uploader service like streamable is so that OTHERS can see it, located across the world

[quick prairie]

you guys are a bunch of idiots

honestly

[latent geyser]

your suggestions are wasteful and they don't make sense at all

[sonic barn]

because you're wrong

[teal estuary]

chuckles in doing exactly that

[latent geyser]

like i've already said i want to repurpose existing hardware and you folks are going around telling me to buy an old office pc or spend hundreds on a new NAS

[latent geyser]

and yeah, my computer is running 24/7 because i have to do work to say alive

[unborn flare]

mhm i see well

[sonic barn]

no one else can see a p2p connection you have unless your network is compromised

[latent geyser]

to setup a p2p connection not linked to your main pc, like you suggested:

• buy raspberry pi
• buy office pc
  which i and probably no one else wants to do

[quick prairie]

what if he doesnt want to share his ip with strangers

[sonic barn]

our sponsor, proton vpn

its free

[lucid echo]

networking paranoia is so entertaining to watch

[unborn flare]

indeed is

hello sanic

[latent geyser]

and i don't want to run it through my network and have it eat up my 250 mbps bandwidth for some videos

i need it, cant be running on like 70 and waiting

[sonic barn]

it doesn't run when its in idle sleep state

uses basically no power too

[latent geyser]

besides the point

[unborn flare]

breh let him use his vps kek

[sonic barn]

well it negated your point

[sonic barn]

you're not running it 24/7

[latent geyser]

yes and when someone does watch a video my bandwidth will eat shit and so will my work

[teal estuary]

what exactly is it that you want to do?

[sonic barn]

wait you're gonna be inside the house as well?

there's this thing called an ethernet cable

[teal estuary]

setup required to pull it off aside

[unborn flare]

@lucid echo

[latent geyser]

i want to setup my own https://streamable.com on an existing storage server. however we've got two bumbling idiots suggesting stupid ideas

[lucid echo]

Iheuzio is the most level headed, open-minded, non-argumentative person on this server, idk what you're talking about

[latent geyser]

but i have to use an extender router so i can't plug right into the main one. and now if something else uses the bandwidth, it will be at my expense

[teal estuary]

i assume this is so you can send friends a video link?

[latent geyser]

well i mean yeah but what's the point of suggesting to get new hardware when i can and want to repurpose existing workd

[lucid echo]

It was sarcasm

[quick prairie]

bad sarcasm

[latent geyser]

and for client work as well, i send a bunch of 4k~ quality videos which take up a lot of storage

[lucid echo]

He is none of those things

[supple sand]

i just got the blue screen of death while over clocking

[latent geyser]

genuinely impossible to tell considering how much he was "rooting for the idea"

[lucid echo]

Shoulda threw in the /s

[teal estuary]

do you need anyone else to be able to upload videos to it?

[latent geyser]

yes

[sonic barn]

you can host your own server on the internet then set each clip as a link in p2p connection to be copied over.

basically they connect to your network to view the stuff

[teal estuary]

welp, there goes my main suggestion of pick a media server and use NFS/SMB over a wireguard tunnel to upload

[unborn flare]

damn

[latent geyser]

i don't have a lot of storage on my computer (thank flight sim for that) so i upload videos on one drive but that's not ideal because slow for me when uploading and watching playback on it

also i don't want people to connect to my network for whatever reason

i really just don't want to be bothered with that

[sonic barn]

fair enough but you could always set a relay point on the network

[latent geyser]

also do not want to be bothered with that

i'm "ok" at linux stuff and would much rather dump everything on there with no networking issues knowing things like web servers will be accessible for everyone than do it on my computer

and then I live in the UAE, restrictions are fun

[teal estuary]

something like this what you are looking for?
https://git.mills.io/prologic/tube

[latent geyser]

yes!

i'm not a big fan of the UI but something like this is what I want

[teal estuary]

i just googled that, i dont endorse that project in any way

[latent geyser]

what did you use to search it? something similar to this is what i want

[teal estuary]

"self hosted streamable"

first reddit link has a link to its old github, which then links to that git repo

[quick prairie]

https://github.com/TannerReynolds/ShareX-Upload-Server this would also work?

[latent geyser]

😂 yeah I just found it, thanks

[latent geyser]

yeahh, something like this would be nice

[quick prairie]

this is the one i was talking about earlier, saw it used by someone i know

[sonic barn]

yeah but that program has to be running 24/7 if you leave it as a bot

[quick prairie]

and?

its a vps who cares

[latent geyser]

not on my computer so it doesn't matter

[sonic barn]

_ _

[quick prairie]

a vps is made to do this

[latent geyser]

the issue with what you suggested was that I would be the one paying for it

or paying extra to get this

[quick prairie]

he pays 13 bucks a month for the vps

[sonic barn]

thought you were hosting it

[latent geyser]

i am on a vps, i already own which is paid for the year

[sonic barn]

so you only pay a service fee to use theirs

[latent geyser]

i'm not sure it's a service fee

[quick prairie]

prolly management and electricity

[latent geyser]

you pay for a virtualized linux machine which has all the networking stuff already sorted out for you (mainly just opening/closing ports and setting up basic firewall rules to protect yourself iirc) and can install whatever you want on it

[quick prairie]

• some overhead so the provider profits

[latent geyser]

• they gotta make their money back on the parts at some part as well

[quick prairie]

ye

[sonic barn]

yeah like you're gonna be paying if they're running this 24/7 for you

[latent geyser]

yeah, i paid like 80-85 bucks a year for this vps

and another 15 on lots of storage

and it serves other usages as well, i'm not using this ONLY for video streaming

[sonic barn]

tax evasion

[latent geyser]

????????????

[sonic barn]

if its a personal business you can put it as a tax credit

= tax evasion

[latent geyser]

like i mentioned earlier, i live in the UAE, more specifically dubai

therefore i do not pay for tax

[sonic barn]

bruh

[latent geyser]

just in case you're wondering, i did not move to the UAE to not pay tax 😂 i've been living here a couple years now

[maiden sky]

Guys im search system for 2 in1 laptop

[sonic barn]

samsung smart fridge

[molten drift]

Your on vps? Brah I'm on that die hard vhs.

[unborn flare]

i mean you are not wrong kek

[sonic barn]

anyone following stocks

They're bipolar

[lucid echo]

My mental health has improved dramatically since I stopped messing with stocks

[latent geyser]

lol

[quick prairie]

no its genuinely kinda stressful

but i dont care its free moneys

[lucid echo]

That's worth more to me than the gains from any short put

[sonic barn]

mine deteriorated

reduced to atoms

I discovered options

[quick prairie]

mine never existed :>

[sonic barn]

I mean at least its not crypto

at least with stocks you'll fall asleep either disappointed or dopamine

with crypto the market is open 24/7

[quick prairie]

crypto is a hellhole

[sonic barn]

then people say its a currency

when irl they just want number to go up

[latent geyser]

@quick prairie @lucid echo @teal estuary wanted to thank you guys for your help. finally found the right search terms and found this amazing piece of software https://github.com/ShaneIsrael/fireshare

[quick prairie]

oo cool congrats!

[latent geyser]

it is literally a self hosted streamable copy and i think i'll love it, thanks a lot for your help!

[lucid echo]

people say stocks represent the health of the economy
when irl they just want number to go up

[lucid echo]

Nice! Have fun :)

[teal estuary]

huh, i might actually set up one of those myself

[quick prairie]

but stocks do represent the health of the economy?

[latent geyser]

it's worth it if you don't want to pay for streamables yearly plan, and I don't because that works out to 156 dollars a year (and i dont want to pay upfront)

[quick prairie]

atleast to some degree

[sonic barn]

commodities are worse because people actually have to pay those prices

can't imagine being in europe

[quick prairie]

:c

[latent geyser]

good if you have an existing storage server, something similar that I have

[lucid echo]

there's ultimately very little correlation

[junior tide]

what going on

[sonic barn]

are you saying money is an illusion

I only lost like 10k but people are saying we haven't even seen a crash

[quick prairie]

one litre of diesel is 2,20€ in germany

[sonic barn]

but I got my gov loans and bursaries

[lucid echo]

It may mean executives are making bank but doesn't reflect the material conditions of working people

[gilded quest]

part of it is that a lot of stocks have been overvalued the last few years

Feels more of a market adjustment rather than market crash

but i'm no expert

[sonic barn]

the forever bull run = working people putting life savings in stocks

[gilded quest]

like infinite growth wasn't possible forever people

[sonic barn]

we should return to monke

barter with runescape gp

[weak bridge]

not financial advice
I feel like microsoft is gonna make some plays someday

[gilded quest]

corporations need to re-evaluate their business models and set realistic expectations for shareholders

[sonic barn]

but look at intel

they are basically dead now

[lucid echo]

if I had a nickel every time I've heard that

[sonic barn]

the same can be said about them, however the situation is terrible

[weak bridge]

not financial advice no like microsoft been building they gonna strike bro trust

[gilded quest]

ARC might get murdered but Intel is far from dead

[sonic barn]

they are rebuilding tilted towers

[gilded quest]

they already killed Optane and SSDs
Seems like intel is trying to refocus on it's core product lines

[lucid echo]

If Google has taught us anything, you can kill off half your product history and be perfectly fine

[sonic barn]

arc is apparently getting cancelled. Mobileye is getting valuation reduced, possibly delayed (maybe both). They have earnings drop for the first time in like 20yrs, their ceo has like 154 million salary payroll and dividends eat up the companies ability to put money into r&d

at least arc on the consumer side, data centers have a use of their features

[gilded quest]

public companies were a mistake

[sonic barn]

this

[lucid echo]

If I'm gonna get financial insight from anyone, it's gonna be a child on a discord server

[sonic barn]

I mean canada has their parties planning on ending poverty with a ubi where you are guaranteed necessities. Costs the gov 70 bill a year

[gilded quest]

shareholders will always prioritize profits over people
such a shame

[sonic barn]

we're moving towards a new economic system

[gilded quest]

plz not bitcoin

[lucid echo]

wild we're all just okay with having a ton of lil' authoritarian monarchies running a third of our lives

[sonic barn]

good time to be alive when everything is collapsing, queen dies. Fortnite is the most popular game. Linus tech tips has 15mill subs almost.

[gilded quest]

Can't wait for the inevitable Corporate Congress

[sonic barn]

I think capitalism will end in next 3 years

[gilded quest]

lol it wont

[lucid echo]

I miss being that naive

[sonic barn]

money will get replaced by some social credit stuff

we'll be china

[quick prairie]

the usa will never be communistic

[lucid echo]

[sonic barn]

our gtx 480

[gilded quest]

its just gonna be a slow (painful) shift from the endless consumption based economy to a scarcity based one

[white yew]

sanic i got a m3 mac book is it a cop or not

m2*

[sonic barn]

consumerism will die

[gilded quest]

half the news: "Impending recession"
other half: "Businesses shutting down because they can't find any workers"

[sonic barn]

"Businesses can't pay a livable wage"

[gilded quest]

COVID saw a huge shift from "experiences" -> "consumption"

[gilded quest]

the franchise business model is whack

[lucid echo]

This is derailing very quickly into the "no politics" umbrella

[sonic barn]

we're talking about economics

finance

[gilded quest]

yeah i was trying to strictly use economic terms lol

[gilded quest]

yeah but it can very easily derail, unfortunately

[lucid echo]

'we're just talking about history!' - some guy in here fawning over 1930's germany

[sonic barn]

there's the standard business cycle and its in the process of entering a black hole

james webb telescope can't even see it

thats cause its pointed away from earth
smh

[full fossil]

most wanted 2012, f1 2018, project cars 2, dirt rally or grid 2

[sonic barn]

that's why we need to bring it back

would be cool if we get some asteroid that heads towards us

[lucid echo]

I've already told you that you're overconfident about your conception of how the world works, so I won't explain it again

[stoic beacon]

Dirt Rally

[sonic barn]

How does the world work then

[stoic beacon]

If Sanic started typing now, and finished typing in 2040, he still wouldn't be able to explain the intricacies.

[lucid echo]

It's less about figuring out that answer, and more accepting that you'll never really know

[median idol]

Oh boy here we go

[lucid echo]

Anyone who says they've figured it out is either a child, delusional, or selling you something

[stoic beacon]

Far too many people believe that 99% of questions in life have one answer. Nearly everything is a multistep answer though, and the way the world works is so many steps that overlap on top of each other that it's just a tangled mess.

There is a reason why legal documents are several hundred pages long.

[thick willow]

Ay

Just a quick question

Are flagship smartphones really worth it ?

[ocean narwhal]

not really

[lucid echo]

Depends on what you want

I want a really nice pocketable camera for nature and concerts. So for me, yes it's worth it.

[stoic beacon]

Yes, but also no.

[sonic barn]

No

[gilded quest]

yes

[thick willow]

This year there are a lot of good mid-range smartphones
But most of them are having a big disadvantages

[stoic beacon]

You aren't one of those iPad in the air holders, are you?

[sonic barn]

There's cheap phones

[gilded quest]

well, in the US with carrier deals flagships are super worth it

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, that's sort of what sets them apart from flagships. If there were flagships and then midrangers with no disadvantages, then they would cost the exact same.

[thick willow]

Hmmm, for me, i want a smartphone that is not too pricy but would stay with me at least 2 years

[stoic beacon]

What carriers are you looking at, T Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon all charge a fortune more for flagships on contracts

[lucid echo]

Not unless they announce one with a quadruple-camera array

[stoic beacon]

Then pick up a mid ranger of some sort probably. S22, Pixel 6a, etc. There's plenty of options

[sonic barn]

Get any phone that you can use without getting mad over the performance or it dying

[gilded quest]

last year my sister got a Z Flip3 for $200 when she traded in a broken S20FE

to verizon

[stoic beacon]

Oh, that's just Samsung's insane trade in program, you get the trade in deals even if you buy unlocked from Samsung

[gilded quest]

works for us

I think verizon did $1000 off a S22U, with upgraded storage, with S9+ trade in

[stoic beacon]

Nearly any phone you buy from the big manufacturers will last you 2+ years at this point. Unless you absolutely wreck it somehow.

[thick willow]

Cool, another question, are the mid-range gaming phones good as a daily driver ?

[finite cloud]

If you find the features to be worthwhile yeah sure

[stoic beacon]

I mean, yes, pretty much all phones work as daily drivers, so long as you have service

[gilded quest]

for some launches yes
Carriers have also been doing similar deals on 5G phones the last few years to try and get people to switch

Although those might be slowing down since people are actually on 5G now

[thick willow]

Aight, I’m thinking about poco f4, galaxy A52s, pixel 6a

[stoic beacon]

Pixel 6a > Galaxy A52 > Poco F4

Though none of those are "gaming phones"

[ocean narwhal]

Galaxy A series is short for "Galaxy Planned Obsolescence"

(the A is silent)

[thick willow]

I know, i have a problem with mid-range gaming phones, which is that most of them lack at ip rating
