Might as well just add both AMD and Nvidia to the filter entirely

[lilac sage]

imma send you a picture, DM me ur email.

[karmic flame]

filter evasion is against the rule btw

[uncut axle]

What about whatever the other discord thing is

[stoic beacon]

The last thing I want in a piece of software I have to use with other people knowing how to use it is some janky crap FOSS software

[lilac sage]

im trying out some third party services

[tiny socket]

how about Intel

[uncut axle]

Giuled or something

[kind flare]

This server is pretty active.

[ebon otter]

OMG STOP DELETING MY MESSAGE

[stoic beacon]

Nah, then everyone would get banned instantly

[uncut axle]

I believe they have a 100gb upload limit

[stoic beacon]

When a mod asks you to stop, you probably should stop

[ebon otter]

But I’m trying to see which bad words you can say

[golden talon]

I learned how to drive a manual car today

[karmic flame]

usually a good idea right ?

[tiny socket]

ban speedrun any%

[ebon otter]

Lol

[vapid smelt]

just use common sense and dont?

[lilac sage]

not any slurs I can tell you that.

[hollow citrus]

bro got muted

[lilac sage]

and he''s gone

[uncut axle]

Guileded*

[kind flare]

I have AMD Radeon graphics, not NVIDIA like those gamers out there do…

[stoic beacon]

Not a single person uses pure FOSS Android, that is a really stupid argument.

Also, Firefox sucks compared to Chrome/Edge, Blender sucks compared to 3DS Max/Maya/Modo, Brave is...laughable and it's amazing they didn't get sued into the ground for lying.

So yes, please keep going so I can make fun of you more.

[karmic flame]

yay!

[gilded quest]

i dont have a boy but go on

[lilac sage]

world peace?

[full fossil]

LETS FUCKING GO

[lilac sage]

oh nvm

[stoic beacon]

MANN IM SO FUCKING HYPED. It’s gonna match the build.

[karmic flame]

WHY ARE WE YELLING THO ?

[full fossil]

WHO TF DELETED

[lilac sage]

is that somehow a perk? being white?

[full fossil]

IDK, but hey big W today

[lilac sage]

I like my all black PC builds

[kind flare]

Chrome is Chromium but with automatic updates

[full fossil]

nice nice

[stoic beacon]

That's fair. You finally found a good FOSS

[hollow citrus]

still trying to get my hands on a 3060ti

[lilac sage]

best buy

[glad dagger]

I use an RX 580 Radeon card

[hollow citrus]

FLOSS

[lilac sage]

what is notepad++?

is it just a worse microsoft word?

[stoic beacon]

Yes, and most of it is crap, unfortunately.

[karmic flame]

other way around

[golden talon]

same, except mine is for mining

[stoic beacon]

Yes, but also no

[lilac sage]

interesting

[stoic beacon]

They're not the same type of program

[glad dagger]

I use mine for gaming

[gilded quest]

I wouldn't compare a Word processor to a text editor

VSCode all day

[golden talon]

you’re*

[stoic beacon]

Correcting him on spelling is not going to go well.

[kind flare]

Do you guys know this program with the one and only infinite 40-day trial?

[stoic beacon]

VSCode was fun, until I wanted a job, then I had to learn Visual Studio

[gilded quest]

They both have their uses

[karmic flame]

thats a pet peeve of mine, hate when people do that

[gilded quest]

Visual Studio is better for some cases, VSCode for others

[stoic beacon]

True, but most companies already have huge frameworks built out in Visual Studio, so you have to integrate with the existing system

[vapid smelt]

how big of a frameworks does the company framework have though

[topaz ridge]

Visual Studio is a development environment, VS Code is a text editor

[stoic beacon]

No, that is not the case at all lol. Visual studio frameworks have TONS of languages in them

[kind flare]

VSCode

[stoic beacon]

If you bring your Mac into a workplace where everybody uses Onedrive and Teams to communicate, you will not be hired.

The same goes with Visual Studio.

[quick fractal]

am i allowed to post links here?

[lilac sage]

yes but they wont embed

[topaz ridge]

This is a pretty silly attitude to have. Most professionals don't give a shit about what kind of laptop you like

[quick fractal]

i just made a clothing brand and would love some feedback on the website?

[lilac sage]

not that it matters

[kind flare]

I’ma install Pop!_OS onto my HP with AMD Radeon graphics.

[stoic beacon]

Yes they would, if they relied on Microsoft services. That was my whole point.

If somebody sent you a Visual Studio file setup that automatically referenced 4,000,000,000 lines of existing code at a company and you said "nah, I can't open this because I use VSCode,"

You will be fired.

I'm sure you are very professional at all sorts of things, but most tech companies have existing systems in place, and you will be laughed out of there, unless you're at a small company

[topaz ridge]

I work at Western Digital, which uses OneDrive and Teams. My company-supplied laptop is a MacBook Pro. Also, people on my team use the editor they get work done with.

Is anyone having issues with discord bot tokens

[stoic beacon]

Eh, if you want to spread misinformation to other young developers, you do you. I won't be a part of it.

[full fossil]

Is anyone having issues with discord bot tokens

[karmic flame]

seems discord is repeating itself

[stoic beacon]

Must be another bug

[karmic flame]

100%

[full fossil]

A bot took the token of my last account and was able to join nsfw servers on it

[lilac sage]

ok?

[full fossil]

Yeah

[lilac sage]

you mean leave servers right?

[full fossil]

No

[full fossil]

I just want my discord bot online

[stoic beacon]

I wonder how possible it would be to create filters for this Discord that detected when somebody is bringing up the same topic again and just have it refer them to a log of the discussion of that topic...

Probably far more work than it's worth, but it sure would make everyone's lives easier, especially mods

[karmic flame]

lol Good idea

or umm let me google that lol

[full fossil]

How would I see discord bug status

[lilac sage]

prob check their twitter

ye that works better

[stoic beacon]

Just saying, conversations started getting repeated a lot more when the Let Me Google ban was added

[karmic flame]

Oh dam embeds are not working ?

[stoic beacon]

Wait, are Discord embeds not working?

[lilac sage]

wdym?

we cant snipping tool a google search anymore?

[stoic beacon]

You used to be able to link people to a very sarcastic site that explained to them why what they were asking was something they should be asking Google and nobody else, but it's gone now

[full fossil]

Everytime I reset then grab the new one it says invalid

[stoic beacon]

So the people don't learn anymore, and keep asking bad questions

[full fossil]

Theres a website for it

[stoic beacon]

Yes, and if you post a link from it here, the message gets auto deleted.

If I were to generate a link for you that googles "How to read previous messages before posting," it would just disappear as soon as I sent it

[graceful jackal]

really?

[full fossil]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[stoic beacon]

Useful, but solves a different issue

That's fair, I suppose it could get overused

Or used improperly, with abuse in the link

[full fossil]

Can I have help finding my bot token issue

[stoic beacon]

It's supposed to be a tool to teach people what they should be googling...that's unfortunate

[stoic beacon]

Did you just post "dontasktoask.com" and then immediately ask to ask? Or was it satire?

[full fossil]

I can't find any results for anyone having this issue before but everytime i turn my bot on it returns saying the token is invalid even after I replace it with a new token anyone know what this issue Is about

[stoic beacon]

Oh my

Yup, time for a Discord break

[fluid ridge]

whats wrong with asking to ask

"Does anyone know how to XYZ" vs "I need help with XYZ" literally conveys the same meaning, just in different linguistic ways

[full fossil]

Can I have help testing my bots commands

[vapid smelt]

[full fossil]

Why

[manic torrent]

because it shows a lack of respect etc

it's all clearly laid out on dontasktoask.com

"I need help with xyz" is also crap

[graceful burrow]

Yeah they're both pretty bad

Just ask the question, you get help faster with quicker mutual understanding

[fluid ridge]

yeah but my point is there is no difference in comprehension to the people being asked

[full fossil]

Can I have help testing my bots commands

[graceful burrow]

No

[vapid smelt]

can you not spam?

[manic torrent]

I see you have no concept of how communication actually occurs

[fluid ridge]

im just able to read

[manic torrent]

Do you have the autism?

[fluid ridge]

no

[graceful burrow]

Asking to ask just wastes everyone's time

[fluid ridge]

i guess

[manic torrent]

disrespecting the people you are asking for him is not a great way to start

you have to realise you're asking people to perform labor for you for no recompense

[fluid ridge]

how is that any different than just ripping the bandaid off and going "my dog isnt eating" vs "anyone here know why my dog isnt eating"

either way nobody is getting compensated for anything

[manic torrent]

words that parse out to a similar message are not the same

[graceful burrow]

The website lays out out so simply I don't see what there is to misunderstand kek

[fluid ridge]

if you find disrespect from a question directed at a group of people on an internet messaging board because they did not preface the question in a manner you find appropriate, something as trivial as starting with "anyone ..." then is it not more of a problem on your end?

[fluid ridge]

i read the website

it's a stretch at best

[graceful burrow]

Reread it lmao

[fluid ridge]

it's acting like you need to sign a legal contract before

[manic torrent]

if EVERYONE is telling you that you're wrong, surely it's a problem on your end?

you sign a social contract

[graceful burrow]

It's always better to ask the question directly instead of beat around the bush and waste time

[fluid ridge]

perhaps everyone has their heads shoved that far up their ass 🤷

[graceful burrow]

Willfully wasting others time is inherently disrespectful kek

[fluid ridge]

i completely agree with this by the way, but i do not see any harm in doing the other option either

[fluid ridge]

you could choose not to engage

[manic torrent]

Out of the three people talking here, you are the least able to answer questions

[fluid ridge]

🤷 i guess that depends on what

[manic torrent]

it really doesn't

[fluid ridge]

i mean, if you are the arbiter of all knowledge more power to you sir

i will not challenge

[graceful burrow]

"I agree that it's disrespectful but I don't see the problem in it"

[fluid ridge]

i dont agree that its disrespectful, i agree that its faster to just ask the question

[ivory wolf]

Wrong

[modest wharf]

poop

[graceful burrow]

So you're saying wasting someone else's time isn't disrespectful

[fluid ridge]

again, if you take offence from something that trivial, you have an ego the size of the sun

you could choose not to engage, again

[manic torrent]

thanks, random dude.

[fluid ridge]

it is your choice to answer the question, and it is not directed at anyone specifically

[ivory wolf]

No problem man, anytime

[graceful burrow]

Riddle me this then

What are hotdogs made of

[modest wharf]

hey i heard they had tips for tech buit im not sure whgo the linus guy is

[ivory wolf]

[ivory wolf]

Me neither

[manic torrent]

one day someone is going to punch you right in the face. And you're not going to know why, specifically. I want you to remember this when that happens, and know that I was right.

[ivory wolf]

Probably has already happened

[fluid ridge]

???

there is a logical, step by step process behind each action

[ivory wolf]

Please

[fluid ridge]

if i did something worthy of being punched, im sure ill know

[manic torrent]

That's not how people work. Not even close.

[ivory wolf]

Please stop arguing

maybe i started by asking to ask

For the love of god, it's not that serious

[ivory wolf]

That's 3/4 of Linus audience

[fluid ridge]

well it's interesting to get some discourse on a topic like this

get the perspective of the other side

[manic torrent]

What topic would raise to the level of being worthy in your eyes

[swift elk]

That doesn't mean insult and take peoples necks though

[fluid ridge]

i never insulted anyone

[ivory wolf]

Guys please

Be civilized

[fluid ridge]

but it is what it is, i guess that is that

[swift elk]

I'm calm, I am cool and collected. However, I can still be mildly frustrated at people literally arguing in a discord server made for enthusiasts like all of us here.

People join to learn and also interact, not dodge verbal landmines every hour.

So for the sake of sanity, enough please.

It's not a good hammer

[cinder thunder]

i know, but is it a good mouse overall

[gilded quest]

It has micro B usb

[vapid smelt]

it sucks at running in a mouse wheel to make electricity

[gilded quest]

I wouldn't buy micro B in late 2022

[manic torrent]

goddamnit. The monitor doesn't have displayport, it only has hdmi. And I don't have a spare hdmi port, not a spare DP to hdmi (of ehter kind)

[ivory wolf]

All I know is that I need a new hammer, seeing as my main hammer was the G pro x

[manic torrent]

absolutely. deal breaker.

[gilded quest]

It was kind of surprising logitech couldn't be bothered to make the superlight type c

[ivory wolf]

Do Micro B connectors make good hammers?

[gilded quest]

guess they wanted to make the refresh as cost effective as possible

terrible hammers

they're so flimsy

[ivory wolf]

Noted

[manic torrent]

They make good ewaste

[vapid smelt]

how much cheaper is micro b vs c i wonder

[stray apex]

yes
gotta cost down their $200 mouse

[ivory wolf]

oooo a death snake

[peak sable]

o.o

Worst I've seen is the electric company wanted 600 to turn off and reconnect power so my cousin could install a sub panel.

We had 480v service. We did a live install. Would not recommend

He used rubber gloves and we got super lucky

They had commercial grade power because their business ran out of one side of the house

Oh yeah its not very common that people know lol

I didn't know until we did that live install

[night heron]

it makes me laugh when people say shit like "americans cant boil water on their electricity"

[peak sable]

We needed the subpanel to install baseboard heaters

Oof that's cold, just like Texas in the winter

[night heron]

texas collapsing over 2 inches of snow was so funny

i have videos of me walking through a foot+ of snow to get home from school and that's just regular behavior here

[peak sable]

Is that not common elsewhere?

Hmm, yeah only time I see metal is for high voltage transmission lines, the big towers

[night heron]

us infrastructure is pretty bad as a whole outside of major cities

[peak sable]

And near substations

[night heron]

because each state is the size of a country

and each of them has their own policies on how things will be built and by who

[peak sable]

Yup

Same with department of insurance, makes it a pain to work some states

NY is one of the worst I've been told by coworkers who work in NY

[dreamy rose]

do Macs have the ability to run android through VMs now?

[manic torrent]

They did before

[dreamy rose]

you mean an Android Emulator?

[manic torrent]

... the older intel ones run android same as any other OS

[dreamy rose]

yes, an Emulator.

[manic torrent]

No

[dreamy rose]

VMs and Emulation are different

[manic torrent]

please, tell me more

[vapid smelt]

old intel macs where just normal computers that could run any os

[dreamy rose]

Emulation serves to Mimic specific hardware, like a Console or a Phone. Virtual Machines run that system ON host hardware, it must match Architecture to run as a VM.

[manic torrent]

oh, must it?

and there's no x86 android?

[dreamy rose]

newer Macs match Android devices therefore it doesn't emulate, it is able to run a VM.

[dreamy rose]

Android x86 is irrelevant here.

it exists but we are talking about Android on Phone/Mobile hardware

[hallow plank]

Uber had a data breach

Today, an 18 year old hacker got access to the internal systems

[peak sable]

That's Uber bad

[hallow plank]

The person who claimed responsibility for the hack told The New York Times that he had sent a text message to an Uber worker claiming to be a corporate information technology person. The worker was persuaded to hand over a password that allowed the hacker to gain access to Uber’s systems, a technique known as social engineering.

[manic torrent]

are we? you never said that

[manic torrent]

this was your question.

[hallow plank]

The kid even got the source codes and databases

[dreamy rose]

never said we were.

[vapid smelt]

im very confused now

[peak sable]

I'm appalled my joke didn't get a reaction v.v

[manic torrent]

out of the two of us, one of us has written android applications

and worked with VMs for 20+ years

[dreamy rose]

that man need to be Ubercharged.

[peak sable]

XD

[vapid smelt]

bob worked on VMs nearly as long as ive been alive

[night heron]

longer than ive been alive

[dreamy rose]

And NOT by the Medic. by the Legal System.

[peak sable]

😃

[dreamy rose]

please enlighten me to a PowerPC VM.

[manic torrent]

what does that have to do with anything.

[dreamy rose]

if an x86 Machine can run an ARM VM then in your logic it can run a PowerPC VM too.

[manic torrent]

You don't know what a VM is. a VM doesn't have to be the same arch

the line between "emulator" and "cross platform libraries" and "VM" gets extremely murky in the middle.

and I was talking about x86 android, which apparently for reasons you never said, doesn't count.

[dreamy rose]

i never mentioned nor bought up Android X86. Why it came up is beyond me.

[manic torrent]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/375436621450969089/1020198158455803914/unknown.png

macs could run x86 android when they were intel

that's how development works for android.

[dreamy rose]

i didn't say anything about intel Either. i even Excluded that by saying "Now" as in, the ARM Hardware.

[vapid smelt]

you never said what macs

[manic torrent]

let me be absolutely clear - I knew what you meant, but your question was terrible.

the implication they couldn't run android virtually previously was amusing

and you gave no context to what you were talking about.

[dreamy rose]

only a Fool would say that a Computer wouldn't be able to do so in some Capacity.

[hallow plank]

I mean with the proper patches an iPhone can run android native

[dreamy rose]

because its ARM.

[hallow plank]

I was able to reverse the biggest jailbreak roadblock ever on iPhone

RootFS sealing

Simple patches to an IPSW file then restoring the device in pwned state

Only tested on iPhone 7

Wow the only time public chat is inactive

It’s been an hour and 16 mins since the last message

wth you're here too?

[tired herald]

LTT did the $69 PC and I realised it was basically what I gamed on... Think they'll do a $420 PC sometime soon?

[karmic whale]

Is rtings the universally accepted review website for everything

[ancient dragon]

...

[karmic whale]

Is rtings bad or something

[blissful scroll]

I currently have a 1080, and 3090's are on sale for 1100 canadian right now, should i buy one?

[karmic whale]

Why that guy ellipsis me then

[glacial basin]

or monitors

[manic torrent]

Probably a good option. You can't really go that far wrong, given a 3090 will do basically anything you want

[coarse valve]

Hello

[manic torrent]

did you google first?

I have an MSI 34" ultra wide 100hz, and it's perfectly cromulent. Overclocks to 110hz

you can just custom set a mode at a higher refresh rate.

Possibly, but ... to what end?

100 to 110 is a 10% improvement

it's absolutely diminishing returns

[cerulean saffron]

does higher refresh rate automatically mean less ghosting

[manic torrent]

no

My OLED 120hz might be better than some 240hz or 144hz

[cerulean saffron]

can you recommend a 120hz 1440p oled monitor that's not too large

[manic torrent]

I think you want qdoled or whatever it is

my OLED is uuuuuuuuuuge. Same 48" linus was using

[cerulean saffron]

yup I want those blacks + no backlight bleed

I have a XB271HU since 2019 and it randomly started having extra noticable backlight bleed for no apparent reason / no change

[cerulean saffron]

OLEDs wont be good as a desktop monitor due to burn in... qled doesnt have that problem? idk much abt this

[manic torrent]

No, not to anywhere near the same degree

[cerulean saffron]

yeah the largest I can fit on my table is 27"

[manic torrent]

burn in is not particularly hard to avoid, but you do need to do a few things

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375436621450969089/1020161849863438447/IMG_20220916_123826182_HDR.jpg?width=810&height=608

[cerulean saffron]

Nice

with oled monitors, having wallpaper engine + a moving background would be good

[manic torrent]

I already was using a wallpaper engine so I just made the start menu pop away, and made sure I didn't leave windows in the same place for too long

[cerulean saffron]

yeah but wallpaperengine has a loooot of options

[manic torrent]

I have a lifetime digitalblasphemy account (but I do actually make regular contributions above that because it was like 10 years ago) and I use a full version of display fusion to change it randomly from any wallpaper every hour

[cerulean saffron]

Also I'm sticking to win10 till EOL. Don't want any of win11's "you cant move the taskbar" and "here's another stupid extra right click menu"

[manic torrent]

meh, I switch to windows 11, basically the same crap

[full fossil]

People charge around $5 for laptop part checkup,is that normal

[prime plinth]

sup

[cerulean saffron]

yup I stopped using it on my 5900x/2080ti build due to powerdraw and gpu usage

[full fossil]

Ok but will that $5 convice me that msi is a good brand

[cerulean saffron]

MSI is not a good one from my experience

[manic torrent]

lol, msi laptops are not good

[cerulean saffron]

One of my friends' MSI laptop's internal SSD and display died. He used it quite heavily

[full fossil]

You guys shouldve had told me 2 years ago

[cerulean saffron]

Another one's MSI laptop's display died out of nowhere... Laptop was used just for docs and college work. No gaming, no heavy load... Took 2 months for them to replace that screen, and it died again 😂

I opened the laptop to see what's going on... smelled like it was burnt. idek how

[cerulean saffron]

I recommend ASUS Zephyrus... I love ASUS. Been using everything ASUS I can since 2012 and they've never disappointed even once. Service is amazing, quality is great. Can cost more sometimes but well-worth it I'd say

oof yeah maybe didn't have good cooling on vrms

my first build (asus p8z77-v / i5 2310) still works

mobo been through 2 official RMAs, 2 unofficial repairs

the build is from 2013

[full fossil]

Should i build a dekstop

[cerulean saffron]

• it was never in a case = extra dust, random insect killed it once xD

[full fossil]

But can i bring it overseas,since i need to go to university

[karmic whale]

Is there a rtings website but for shoes, clothing and wallets

[full fossil]

Would it break

I dont trust airlines

Or i should ship it rather than bringing it myself

[cerulean saffron]

if you want something all-rounder for college, doc stuff, heavy gaming, some creative stuff, go for Zephyrus G14 (14") or G15 (15.6")... These tiny laptops have amazing battery, 120hz 1080p screens, Ryzen CPUs (Now 6th gen ryzen iirc), can do basically everything very very well

At home, get a nice 120Hz or more monitor to use with typeC to displayport adapter, a keyboard/mouse

don't build a PC... it's an anchor it'll keep you where you are 😂

[manic torrent]

See this is why I also have an egpu - I have my XPS13, small , light, A+++. Plug in to egpu, perfectly good gaming rig

[cerulean saffron]

Also a very good idea... Have a PSU+eGPU in a case with a laptop

with desktops you also have to take care of power so any power cuts will be bad ... there's a lot where I live. Had to spend a lot on a good UPS + batt replacements

[manic torrent]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375436621450969089/938265154121003018/IMG_20220202_135031636_HDR.jpg

[blissful scroll]

is the ventus x3 better then rog strix?

[manic torrent]

egpu also has 100W USB C charging, so does it all

[blissful scroll]

rog strix is 250 dollar more expensive then ventus x3 for 3090

[cerulean saffron]

I'd prefer ROG Strix over anything else

[blissful scroll]

And i'm about to buy, just wondering if theres difference, theres only 1 reddit thread saying bad things about that specific gpu

something about bad thermal pads/paste

on a brand new 3090?

[slim yacht]

theyre equivalent to each other
the difference is rog usually go crazy with their out of factory oc

you can get ventus just fine. rog is good, but that does not mean msi cards are worse when cheaper

[slim yacht]

most likely he got unlucky
its very unlikely for you to get dried paste with brand new card since its never used. and theres no way it stays on shelves way too long for it to happen anyway

if you really want to pay for rog then sure, be asus guess. gpu from msi has been good in their track record

choose which suits your tea

[glacial basin]

ventus has slightly shittier cooling but just uv it

you'll be 👍

[vital gust]

I spilled milk on my laptop keyboard and now the keys are harder to press, what do I do?

[manic torrent]

clean it

[vital gust]

How?

I can live with these keys though, they don't matter that much 🥲

[manic torrent]

ezmode, spray thjem with IPA, smash them a jillion times

spray them a bit more, bit more smashing. Wipe.

[warped sedge]

I like MSI GPUs but I hated dealing with Dragon Center, used to have a 2080Ti GxT

[manic torrent]

yes, dragon center is a giant pile of garbage

[vital gust]

I'll try that, I thought I had to remove the keys or something like that

[carmine merlin]

you can also just open the laptop to clean the insides while at that. And also learn to not place beverages near one's laptop

[manic torrent]

that would be the proper way 🙂

[warped sedge]

The RGB setting is the worst out of any brand I feel

[slim yacht]

ventus dont have lights so i think it wont be an issue for what hes picking

[warped sedge]

Definitely not

[manic torrent]

ORLY?

[slim yacht]

this is about the brightest build ive seen yet lmao

[blissful scroll]

So ventus 3x 3090 is decent card?

and rog strix isnt worth the 250 more dollar

[slim yacht]

its worth it
but ventus is also a value for money

both are good cards

[slim yacht]

electrical bills stonks

[manic torrent]

but the real reason for that is that it's high density LED strip around the inside of the shroud. Generally they come with less and weaker LEDs

[cerulean saffron]

I wrote my own python script with a fork of pyaudio that allows loopback capture of playback devices, wrote the func and logic to convert audio into RGB/HSV and configured NodeMCU to act as an HTTP REST server on my wifi which can take about 80 requests/second and apply color to a WS2812b LED strip powered by a simple phone charger...

Took a while but it looks faaaaar better than any built in RGB stuff I've ever seen, and uses far less CPU for it too (using numba/JIT for functions and a few other ways to optimize code)

[manic torrent]

You know WLED exists right? 🙂

[cerulean saffron]

Nope... if it's a type of led strip, I got my led strip in 2020 and all I knew was ws2812b back then

oh nvm it's a similar project to mine

[manic torrent]

nono WLED is open source LED for ESPs

[cerulean saffron]

Looks awesome but does it have similar audio visualization

[manic torrent]

I have several ESPs in my build, and I have a bunch of ws2812b, and some of the newer stuff I forget the name of but it's RGBW

[cerulean saffron]

ill send a vid of my lighting setup working (most of it is on python, nodemcu just accepts 4 numbers via HTTP/REST)
Also I used OpenRGB and a bit more coding on python script to sync colors on hardware LEDs of all my devices too

[manic torrent]

I was using some custom code but I've retired that in favour of off the shelf stuff

Doing all my auctions in forza - friday night peak time 🙂

well, kilo is a prefix that means 1000, and a meter is a standardised measure that used to be defined with a reference platinum rod, but is now defined using the speed of light.

how does ProtonDB look fishy?

Fart about it.

[pastel schooner]

calm down thts his view.

[dreamy rose]

you did then just realise you have no reason to Suspect ProtonDB of being Fishy.

[pastel schooner]

its type of a forum where people go and tell how well steam games run on Linux using Proton.

[dreamy rose]

because theres nothing for ProtonDB to Steal?

fishy means you suspect said thing of being Malicious.

there are but when you talk about Fishy websites you mean Malicious intent like Keylogging or Info stealing Etc.

which, Aside from ProtonDB having a sign in button to link your Steam account to see your titles easier there is nothing to Identify you except from the Cookies the website uses.

i don't need to. Fishy says enough.

i'm here to talk Tech. i do not troll.

says who?

[slim yacht]

meanwhile since gpu mining is no longer as profitable we'll be seeing cheap cards on the market!

[dreamy rose]

it doesn't, but its generally the usage for Fishy. this argument you've made yourself has been pointless. ProtonDB isn't Fishy, nor Malicious.

[deep spoke]

so did the eth merge drop gpu prices down?

or is it too soon for an impact

[dusty rune]

too soon

[sonic barn]

there will be a sell off

every mining company will drop them

[dreamy rose]

they will go mine else

[mortal topaz]

Oh boy! The merge happened? Better go check on that $1000 in eth I staked to eth2 a year ago!

Yo what the fuck?

[ocean narwhal]

Merge yes

[sonic barn]

like what

bitcoin? That's already basically only asics

[mortal topaz]

In all seriousness it’s like $538 now 🙂

[sonic barn]

POG

[dreamy rose]

who tf knows anymore So much Crap in Crypto

[sonic barn]

its a gambling asset

[ocean narwhal]

I don't think there's many profitable coins

[sonic barn]

you make money when people lose money

sort of like stocks but x100

since no regulation

[mortal topaz]

But plenty of taxes now!

[sonic barn]

you mean tax credit

because they lost all their money

monero went up so they hid their funds

[mortal topaz]

I can’t complain. When I was in apartment life I just used my old gpus to mine and my heat paid for itself

It’s a little bit of twilight zone broken glasses guy unfair that during a pandemic where peeps were forced to stay home there was a gpu shortage.

[sonic barn]

I made like 200$ in eth mining on nicehash, moved it to selfkey then now its 12$

for like 1 month

[twin raptor]

made ~400 mining eth->nano and rvn, still about the same value

[mortal topaz]

I was just selling it as I got it minus the eth I staked

[twin raptor]

heating the house in winter basically

#canada

[mortal topaz]

Now that I got stable money I’m gonna do that with folding@home

[sonic barn]

our electricity is all renewables so its 0.07 cad

[sonic barn]

[twin raptor]

parlez vous francais?

[sonic barn]

sadly

but not amazing even though I learnt french since like 6yrs old

[twin raptor]

we did it in school for a few years, picked up enough to read road signs essentially

[sonic barn]

french is a bad language

dying language

[mortal topaz]

Bro have you SEEN English?

[sonic barn]

english is mainstream because of british

its basically the common language

[mortal topaz]

Yeah but still bad!

[twin raptor]

english<anything else, i say this in spite of it being the only one I speak

[sonic barn]

easiest to type on a keyboard

[twin raptor]

lol

there is that ig

[mortal topaz]

Depends on the keyboard!

[sonic barn]

french you have trash symbols all over, spanish, russian, japanese, cantanese, etc.. all need symbols everywhere

like certain words

which is stupid

[twin raptor]

do you get a lot of mixups if the proper accents arent there?

I mean, I can read english perfectly fine with no punctuation.

[sonic barn]

there's a lot of grammar rules in french

[mortal topaz]

Those are from its Latin roots

[sonic barn]

yeah but still

english I can type like this

[twin raptor]

what is punctuation even like this is perfectly fine to read without it

[fossil frost]

“Let’s eat Bob.” is a different sentence to “Let’s eat, Bob.”. thats why we have punctuation

[sonic barn]

icantypelikethisandstillunderstandit if you look at french you can't read it

[stoic beacon]

Much like listening to it

[twin raptor]

i understand this, but this example is flawed because it has no context.

given context, it is much easier to distinguish

[dusty rune]

"yo what do you wanna do"
"lets eat bob"

[fossil frost]

“For breakfast I had toast, eggs and orange juice”. vs “For breakfast I had toast, eggs, and orange juice”

[stoic beacon]

If you choose the first, you're a demon. Oxford Comma for life.

[fossil frost]

“Caution! Man eating crocodiles.” vs “Caution! Man-eating crocodiles.”

[sonic barn]

bruh you typed the same stuff

[stoic beacon]

One had Oxford Comma. One did not.

[twin raptor]

this statement makes sense if said out loud, and still has context to explain

[dusty rune]

the context is "yo what do you wanna do"

[twin raptor]

the pause the comma represents changes the meaning i agree

[fossil frost]

no, the first one says you had juice made from eggs and orange, the 2nd one said you ate some eggs, and also had orange juice

[dusty rune]

what more context do you want

[twin raptor]

but there will be more context to figure it out.

eg you belong to a cannabalistic cult in which case it doesn't matter, or you don't, and then the comma is clearly implied

[dusty rune]

youre in a group with 3 people you havent met for years
one of them asks
"what do you wanna do"
"lets eat bob"

lets eat, bob

[twin raptor]

is bob present

[sonic barn]

no hes dead

[dusty rune]

yes, bob is present

[sonic barn]

you're on a stranded island

[twin raptor]

then you wouldn't talk to him in the third person

[fossil frost]

twenty five dollar bills = $100, twenty-five dollar bills = $25

[dusty rune]

what

[sonic barn]

bruh no one types numerical values like that

[twin raptor]

seems fine until the plural makes no sense

[twin raptor]

you don't stand in a group of 3 and turn to person 2 to talk about person 3.

[stoic beacon]

Yes they do, because that's how English works.

[twin raptor]

you talk to person 3

[fossil frost]

"i want twenty five dollar bills" or "i want twenty-five dollar bills", one is a demand for money, one is a statement made to government to introduce twenty-five dollar bills

[sonic barn]

found the english teacher

[twin raptor]

context is key again

[stoic beacon]

No, you just found a person who completed 1st grade English.

[sonic barn]

ok boomer

[twin raptor]

you are writing a petition vs you're asking for money

[fossil frost]

you dont always get context, or sometimes the context its self is ambiguous, correct punctuation removes ambiguity

[twin raptor]

thats more like 10 years speaking the language than a first grader.

[stoic beacon]

Huh. I very distinctly remember Mrs. Cavanaugh in 1st grade teaching us numbers, including how to write them out. We had to go up to 50.

I guess it's a flex for the younger generations to learn less in school? That's the message being sent right now.

[twin raptor]

correct punctuation removes ambiguity, so it makes sense in formal writing, where it is present. anywhere else you can talk to the person for clarification in less time than it takes to edit a sentence

[twin raptor]

*thats the message being received. the one being sent is that methods of writing numbers are more complex than just sequentially writing them out.

[stoic beacon]

So you're saying that when speaking, you do not need to use proper punctuation, but in writing, you do need to use punctuation.

This guy is onto something I think...

[twin raptor]

okay that was a misspeak

[fossil frost]

speaking and written are different mediums... written, its usually easier to just write it correctly in the first place, and then there is no need wasting time with corrections

[stoic beacon]

Or was it a mistype?

[twin raptor]

that was the joke thanks for explaining it

[stoic beacon]

You're welcome, I figured you'd have a hard time understanding it.

[sonic barn]

have u even read articles

[twin raptor]

I said formal vs informal writing, not conversation

[sonic barn]

they basically never mention numbers in a written format like that

[stoic beacon]

What kind of crap school did you go to?

[sonic barn]

its only research papers

[stoic beacon]

They most certainly teach that.

[sonic barn]

talking about articles

[twin raptor]

where did you do elementary, Harvard or Yale?

[fossil frost]

any form of real actual news, would write numbers like that

[twin raptor]

THey're 6 year olds

[fossil frost]

if you are referring to ladbible or youtube comments... then yes, they write the digits

[sonic barn]

https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks

[stoic beacon]

Anything that isn't some moronic internet blogger will write articles with written out numbers.

[sonic barn]

[stoic beacon]

That is a spreadsheet, not an article.

[sonic barn]

twenty-five percent

[twin raptor]

stop with the ad hominem adjectives and just communicate please

[sonic barn]

vs 25%

[fossil frost]

1. those are not articles, thats a spreadsheet, or a stock ticker

[stoic beacon]

If you're using spreadsheets as an example for this, you are insane.

[stoic beacon]

So only old people know how to write properly...got it.

Watch out, this guy is afraid of old people!

[sonic barn]

Yep

[fossil frost]

the presenters are usually in their 30s to 50s, but all the researchers behind the scenes are usually in their early to mid 20s, and the ones that carry on until their 30s or 40s, get to go in front of the camera... almost like you need many years experience in being a journalist, before you are able to get people to trust you

rather than the american way of letting anybody with a big mouth shout whatever shit they want at people, and half the population listens and defends the bullshit because they align the same way politically, no matter how clear the lie is

(not aimed at the most recent outgoing president, its aimed at all of them)

[full fossil]

hi there!

[twin raptor]

only old people care to write "properly"

[dusty rune]

man i love old people, usually nice

[fossil frost]

people who are lazy children who think ignorance is acceptable, refuse to write properly

[dusty rune]

except from when my friends got kicked out of a store for no reason from an old guy but thats just details

[sonic barn]

well articles and journalists have declining revenue aside from bloomberg due to their terminal

and bloomberg uses numerical stuff for everything

[daring garnet]

Any of y'all got animal crossing and willing to let me take some fruit to plant in my island? I have peaches and coconuts

Bruh

This is a pc server not a Nintendo server

[tiny pike]

Well even then they should have went to #gaming

[sonic barn]

Nintendo is a disgrace to this server

[tiny pike]

Well maybe people like playing Mario

[sonic barn]

Not just for anti consumer stuff

Dammit I really avoided COVID for two years to get it this week

If anybody has any questions about the COVID Experience™ I am happy to answer

[golden talon]

Im pretty sure almost everyone's gotten covid by now

[stoic beacon]

Let people like what they like

[gilded quest]

not I

[golden talon]

There will be exceptions

[gilded quest]

At least to the best of my knowledge

[golden talon]

You may have been asymptomatic

[gilded quest]

I have no idea about the first half of 2020 when it was impossible to be tested

And I worked in retail at that time

[flint canopy]

theres a guy trying to scam me lol on steam with fake certificates and he chose to speak on discord lol

[hollow citrus]

i had absolutely no symptoms when i got covid

the only way i knew was a test

[stoic beacon]

Play him some sweet sweet music

[golden talon]

rick roll him

[flint canopy]

aiden fletcher

which is 100% scam

why would they talk on discord lol

[small bolt]

My symptoms have been very mild so far, but they're a little different from a cold or flu

[golden talon]

Mine was exactly like a cold except the sore throat was 3-4X worse

[stoic beacon]

Nah, give him some Garfunkel and Oates

[small bolt]

The sore throat last night and this morning was terrible, and it almost extended into the roof of my mouth

Yes exactly

[gilded quest]

Im terrified of long covid

[stoic beacon]

Worse than strep? Worse than Mono?

[gilded quest]

that shit sounds outright awful

[golden talon]

Never had strep or mono so i dunno

[gilded quest]

strep throat isn't that bad

[stoic beacon]

Ah darn. Yeah, most people I know that have had strep or mono haven't got Covid

So I don't have anything to compare it to

[golden talon]

covid throat was bad enough that i didnt eat for 1-2 days because of how painful it was to swallow

[stoic beacon]

Strep definitely got 90% easier to deal with after I got my tonsils out.

[echo ridge]

Covid wasn't that bad for me

[stoic beacon]

Strep was awful with tonsils in

[gilded quest]

i still have mine, but I rarely get sick

[hollow citrus]

i felt fine when i had covid. literally no symptoms

[gilded quest]

I did get strep yearly when I lived in dorms

[echo ridge]

I just had a shitload of coughing

[hollow citrus]

the flu on the other hand

[small bolt]

I have a dull headache as well and a very low grade fever but I'm expecting it to go up since fevers are usually mild in the morning

I do have a cough sometimes dry sometimes with mucus

[stoic beacon]

Ah...I went through a weird period of time where I got strep diagnosed 1-3 times a year, and I kept putting off the tonsils...until I got Mono.

Then I got them out. Fast.

[gilded quest]

Never had the flu
But i've had stomach flu like 15 times 💀

[small bolt]

Last time I had the stomach flu was like 2013, every time I've vomited since then was my own fault, like I tried to embark on an 8 hour car trip with nothing in my stomach but a can of Coke

[stoic beacon]

Mono made my throat and tonsils look like a fleshy containment site from a horror movie

[gilded quest]

I was supposed to be put on an IV once cause stomach flu got pretty bad
but the nurses couldn't get a vein in either arm so they just gave up

[golden talon]

The worst feeling is vomiting imho

nothing I hate more than it

[gilded quest]

idk
being hit by a bus sounds worse

[small bolt]

Both at the same time

[gilded quest]

hit by a bus WHILE vomiting?

[golden talon]

i would rather get hit by a bus, get knocked out cold and claim a couple tens of thousands of dollars whilst lawsuit

I get paid for being hit by a bus

[gilded quest]

every college student dreams of being hit by a city bus

[golden talon]

That happened at my college

they had a broken arm and they got free tuition for all 4 years of undergrad despite it being their fault for j-walking

[sonic barn]

I felt like I was dead

When I had COVID

The thing can be asymptomatic for most people though and you would never know. However for me it was like the flu but 10x worse

I'm considered high risk since I had cancer but the thing is I was healthy otherwise

It lasted 10 days then felt normal

[flint canopy]

guys the guy that tried to scam me tried to prove hes official mod lol

Step 1: replace the SSD with a bigger and better one before even turning it on
Step 2: install a clean windows
Step 3: wait almost two hours for all the updates to finish
Step 4: install the LG app and wait almost an hour for it to download 360 MB, not joking what the heck LG

[heady orchid]

Is there a way to make your PC CPU runs at a constant maximum speed ?

like on laptops if you turn on the high performance power plan it stays at max clock at all time

[fossil comet]

If im running a mid-high end pc and want to have (a) an ssd for my games at least 1TB, and (b) another ssd for my os. Should i run my files on the same ssd as the os or a diffeerent 1?

[cursive condor]

[stoic beacon]

By files, do you mean general computing files, like OneDrive and stuff?
