public-chat

[wintry dagger]

the board suprisingly had no damage or corrosion

[gilded quest]

I love the idea of one, but unfortunately iPods (classic, not touch) just wouldn't be usable with how I listen to music anyways

[wintry dagger]

oof my ipod I use for playlists for backup when we're without internet or when im riding my scooter

my ipods basically a backup

[gilded quest]

I've just never been a playlist person

[wintry dagger]

oof

[gilded quest]

99% of the time it's song radio or YT Music supermix

[wintry dagger]

yeah ipods are stupid expensive atm

[gilded quest]

I need the algorithm

[wintry dagger]

not worth it

[wintry dagger]

ah I mean makes sense

[ocean terrace]

Well, the msi 3080ti wasn’t in stock

[gilded quest]

I kinda wish I was a little older in that regard

[ocean terrace]

So I ordered the zotac card

[gilded quest]

Like I really missed the iPod stuff by 2-3 years

[wintry dagger]

how old are you then jesus

[gilded quest]

25

Like Spotify came out in middle school and I got a smart phone at the same time

[wintry dagger]

I was born 4 months after the ipod 5th gen was released

[full fossil]

bruh apple ended my support chat without resolving my issue

[gilded quest]

Thus, the streaming era

[wintry dagger]

welcome to apple

[full fossil]

my shit really just got pieced

[stoic beacon]

Welcome to apple

[stoic beacon]

You didn't really miss that much. Music streaming has been such a godsend compared to all the ways it has been in the past

[wintry dagger]

I was gonna point out you copied me but you used a capital W

[stoic beacon]

It would have cost me an absolute fortune to listen to the variety of music I listen to now

[gilded quest]

Sure I could have gotten an iPod classic back in middle school, but I didn't own any music and Spotify ads were fine for tween me lol

[wintry dagger]

ipods are cool only because of how ahead of its time it was

[gilded quest]

I had a SanDisk mp3 player, but it just had my dad's music on it lol

[golden talon]

shouldn’t you take it up with the delivery company

[stoic beacon]

What is currently downloaded to my phone through Spotify would have cost me about $8,000 in CDs or $11,500 in MP3s

[gilded quest]

Coldplay and Jimmy Buffett lmao

[wintry dagger]

yeah the delivery company not apple lmao

[full fossil]

was no delivery company it was shipped by an apple carrier

[stoic beacon]

And next week, if I want to listen to something else, I can download another several thousand dollars worth of music, thanks to Spotify

[stoic beacon]

Apple does not directly deliver products.

[wintry dagger]

yeah it'd be usps or ups

[stoic beacon]

Maybe FedEx, if you're unlucky

[wintry dagger]

find out who delivered ur stuff and reach out

[gilded quest]

I've been eyeing some fiio and Sony android music players

[wintry dagger]

yeah fedex sucks ass they shipped something from la area to penny then to maine back to texas and then back to la and then to my house

took a month

[full fossil]

if i could send a pic i could

it was delivered by a a cartier from my nearest store

[gilded quest]

Sub 2 floatplane

[wintry dagger]

(and im like 6 hours away from la)

[stoic beacon]

Post it in screenshots. Apple does not directly deliver products.

[ocean terrace]

Is there any real diffrence in the r7 5700x and r7 5800x

[wintry dagger]

not rlly

[stoic beacon]

The number 7 vs the number 8

[gilded quest]

Get whichever is cheaper

[ocean terrace]

Bet, the 5700x is in stock so I’ll grab it. It’s the only part left on my list

[wintry dagger]

people who buy them just want the higher number

[wintry dagger]

radeon rx 5700xt

[gilded quest]

I miss headphone jacks

[wintry dagger]

dont we all

[ocean terrace]

Cpu

[wintry dagger]

ik what you mean

[gilded quest]

If Sony keeps putting them in phones..........👀

[ocean terrace]

Last part I needed, should have everything in a couple weeks

[gilded quest]

Never had an Xperia before, might be nice to try

[ocean terrace]

I’m so excited bruh

[stoic beacon]

My Xperia IV Mark 1 is supposed to be here soon...super excited

[gilded quest]

Heck yeah

[fossil frost]

iv mk1, or ... 1 mk4?

[wintry dagger]

only thing that I like about no headphone jacks is the better water resistanceness but I dont go diving with my phone 🤷🏻‍♂️

[gilded quest]

I've never submerged a phone

[wintry dagger]

isnt that the dumbass 2000 dollar phone thats made of plastic

[stoic beacon]

Sorry, the Xperia 1 IV

[fossil frost]

ive swam with my xperia 1 mk2, it has a headphone jack... its fine

[gilded quest]

I've spilled water on phones once or twice, and rain of course

[wintry dagger]

swimming with a phone is dumb

[gilded quest]

But even ip67 is fine for those

[stoic beacon]

https://electronics.sony.com/mobile/smartphone/all/p/xqct62-b

It's this absolute beast

[fossil frost]

literally had it in my pocket while in a pool on holiday, taking under water slowmo shots of my kids swimming...

[gilded quest]

Not all plastics are equal

[wintry dagger]

it looks like its made out of glass not plastic

[fossil frost]

the water proof rating applies to the device as a whole, including the headphone jack

[gilded quest]

iPhone 5C plastic? Atrocious

[stoic beacon]

Unfortunately, it's a glass back

[gilded quest]

Pixel 5a soft touch?

[stoic beacon]

But I put a case over it anyways, so I'm not worried about it

[wintry dagger]

how is that unfortunate do you guys not like put ur phones in cases?

[fossil frost]

it is a glass back, but its non-shit glass

[stoic beacon]

It's unfortunate because it's pointless to have glass backs

[fossil frost]

mine has a glass back, and has hit the deck several times, not even so much as a scratch

[stoic beacon]

I put a case on all my phones, except for my work phone, which has a skin on it to make it grippy

[wintry dagger]

thats like saying all phones should have a plastic screen

[stoic beacon]

But a plastic screen would be a worse experience. A plastic back would not be a worse experience.

[native moon]

i just have an otter case on mine
makes it like 2 pounds heavier but that screen is pristine

[gilded quest]

Phones moved to glass backs
Suddenly everyone was breaking glass more
Then glass got softer to prevent cracks, but now is scratched super easily

[vapid smelt]

No advantage for having a glass back

[gilded quest]

Plastic is also lighter and phones have gotten very heavy

Bring back the plastics

[wintry dagger]

the best glass is ceramic shield imo

[native moon]

im fine with heavy phones tbh
good for a midday workout lmao

[gilded quest]

Is that basically Gorilla Glass Victus?

[wintry dagger]

nope

[gilded quest]

What's Victus then

[wintry dagger]

its better than vicrus

[fossil frost]

what you want is a silicon carbide back 😄

[stoic beacon]

Gorilla Glass 5 Front + Plastic Back + Spigen Case would be my dream setup.

[gilded quest]

I don't use screen protectors and haven't had more than a microscratch in 3 years

[dreamy rose]

When it comes to wanting to be spewed bullshit at, you can rely on Intel and Nvidia to do just that

[wintry dagger]

idk but ceramic shield has ceramic or some shit in it, anyways its super good for drops and doesnt scratch easily, jerryrigeverything did a scratch test and the scratches were significantly lighter than gorilla glass victus

[gilded quest]

Nice

[upbeat ridge]

i am disappointed in me

(yes i turned on metered network just so it wouldn't download updates)

[gilded quest]

Everytime I see a phone in the same pocket as keys I physically cringe

[upbeat ridge]

this

my dad got his screen broken from that

[stoic beacon]

People do that?...

[gilded quest]

Yes

[fossil frost]

yes, stupid people

[upbeat ridge]

for me its really simple

[gilded quest]

Oh my god yes

[wintry dagger]

I do that but its because I only have 1 pocket on most of my shorts for some reason

and I have a screen protector anyways so I think its fine

[upbeat ridge]

right pocket for phones, mini right pocket for airpods, left pocket for everything else

[gilded quest]

Also when I see people put their case-less phone screen side down on a surface 😬😬😬😬

[stoic beacon]

That's super dumb. I keep my work phone, Fold 3 in my front right pocket. Personal phone, Pixel 6a (soon to be Xperia 1 IV) in my front left with my wallet. Keys are on a carabiner that hang from my back belt loop directly into my back pocket.

[wintry dagger]

2 phones... why??

[upbeat ridge]

i at least use phone cases

[upbeat ridge]

work phones are pretty common

[stoic beacon]

Once you start working, you'll know why

[wise tundra]

Tbh I have a feeling AM5 is going to be FX all over again

[fossil frost]

drug dealer

[native moon]

i keep my keys on a lanyard around my neck

[wintry dagger]

I do work but I dont have 2 phones

[stoic beacon]

Where do you work?

[wintry dagger]

you must have a job that requires that

[stoic beacon]

Doesn't require it, but it makes a huge difference

[wintry dagger]

I work at a pizza place, so thats why

[gilded quest]

If your employer wants you to be reachable all the time they should provide a separate device for it

[native moon]

yeah my job doesnt need a second phone in all honesty
granted, i wash dishes at a creperie

[vapid smelt]

Do y'all keep your phone screen towards your thigh or away when it's in your pocket

[native moon]

towards

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, you wouldn't have two phones for a pizza place lol.

When you have a standard job, you get hundreds and thousands of calls/emails, and having the option to turn that off over the weekend is a huge deal

[gilded quest]

I worked in tech and didn't have a work phone nor need to install work apps on my personal phone

[full fossil]

apple support won’t even respond wtf

[stoic beacon]

Foldable goes screen away, glass sandwich goes screen towards...not actually sure why I do that

[native moon]

my thumbprint scanner is on the right side of my phone so i keep my phone pointed at myself
so that i can just grab it and have it open

[fossil frost]

towards, unless im wearing a very specific pair of shorts, which have very thin pockets, and my leg manages to set off the touch screen through the pocket material 😄

[stoic beacon]

Certain jobs don't require constant contact though...it's nice to put my work phone in a drawer every evening and come back on Monday morning to 620 emails

As opposed to how it used to be, where I'd be using my phone through the weekend and get an email every 5 minutes while I was out hiking, running, anything

[native moon]

thats understandable honestly

[fossil frost]

sounds like you work at a bad job if they cant manage with somebody going home in the evening

[vapid smelt]

My dad is a plumber at a hospital and gets a work phone

[random light]

If i move all my parts from 1 motherboard to another will it work with everything saved?

[dreamy rose]

Lame. Laptops at the store do better.

[stoic beacon]

It's a great job, it's just in an industry that moves really fast and has customers that are extremely..................

Special.

[native moon]

are we talking like cant bother to check task manager and see that the game they left open is using more compute power than they thought?

[stoic beacon]

I also have gotten very good at it over the years, so a lot of questions are directed towards me.

[gilded quest]

Unlike me back in college where I carried a pixel 2 and essential phone everywhere

[upbeat ridge]

yeah this is my gameserver

[gilded quest]

Cause pixel had better camera, essential had a cooler screen

[stoic beacon]

That's a good way to do it

[gilded quest]

Also impulse bought essential on prime day

[native moon]

camera is a good reason to keep a phone around tbh
ive got a decent enough camera on my celero 5g

[night heron]

yall still talking about the pixel

[gilded quest]

[night heron]

[stoic beacon]

Nah, you actually came back right as we landed on it. We were previously discussing the benefits of having a work phone and a personal phone and why glass backs don't make any sense

[stoic beacon]

That's pretty sweet

[atomic oxide]

Go away

[gilded quest]

no u

[atomic oxide]

No u

iPhone 12 too with a choice of any case he wanted

[atomic oxide]

[gilded quest]

[night heron]

i have impeccable timing

[atomic oxide]

[stoic beacon]

Not a bad gig for a plumber

I bet being a plumber at a hospital is tough in itself though

[gilded quest]

Makes sense. They probably need him to respond rather quickly

[upbeat ridge]

whut, steamOS is so bad I cant even use Steam to do Steam Remote Play

[vapid smelt]

So many midnight calls of broken pipes clog drains etc

[night heron]

my mother is on call and has a work phone but she also has a personal phone

[vapid smelt]

My dad worked a 15 hour shift since one of the main lines went

[stoic beacon]

Similarly, if my personal phone rings at work and its my wife's ringtone, it doesn't matter what meeting I'm in, what I'm working on, where I'm at, I close my laptop and walk right out the door to answer it.

[upbeat ridge]

thats pretty damn smart ngl

[inland night]

God damn so I’m In college rn and noticing that my laptop is super slow and I checked how much ram it’s using and well it’s using 12 out of my 16gb of ram

[upbeat ridge]

still got plenty left

[stoic beacon]

Most likely not a ram issue.

[gilded quest]

Whats the specs

[inland night]

Quad core i7 from mid 2012 and 16gb 1600mhz ddr3

GeForce gt 750m

[vapid smelt]

Save it with Linux

[gilded quest]

Oh, well, I see why it's feeling dated

[upbeat ridge]

this is what im trying to do with an intel nuc

but it aint working chief

tried installing majaro three times, now onto xubuntu for the second time

[inland night]

I tried swapping it to windows one time but the drive got corrupted

[wintry dagger]

I dont even think linux would save that

[stoic beacon]

Have you tried installing Linux Mint on it?

[wintry dagger]

my laptop is a 2nd gen i7 quad core and a gt550m and even linux was struggling with everything

[inland night]

Nah personally I don’t like Linux

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, gotta get a new laptop then

[tired glade]

When is 4090 release date?

[inland night]

I’m a windows and Mac OS type of person

[stoic beacon]

https://www.google.com/

[stoic beacon]

Get a MacBook then

[tired glade]

But I banned

[wintry dagger]

just wait for a rtx 6090ti

[gilded quest]

RTX A770 XT

[wintry dagger]

only 4 years

[stoic beacon]

WTF did you just do

[tired glade]

Just get time frame when notification will flooded with reviews

[wintry dagger]

oh the time frame is in october 16th 2026

[tired glade]

Oh,a770 is same day as 4090

[tired glade]

Oh,with new wow expansion

[wintry dagger]

yes

[stoic beacon]

Just in time, you'll need the 6090 for the WoW expansion

[tired glade]

It's getting way too boring

[stoic beacon]

I was being sarcastic, I'm surprised anybody still plays it. They created the coolest world ever and ruined it by choosing to focus on endgame grind and high end addiction strategies.

[sonic barn]

I like how theres weed on the back of the bus here

[wintry dagger]

introducing: RAID SHADOW LEGENDS!

arent they basically the same thing just raid is shittier

https://tenor.com/view/minhyun-nuest-roaches-gif-19634449

[tired glade]

?

[stoic beacon]

I still remember seeing Teldrassil for the first time, thinking gaming had hit its peak, just for Blizzard to say "No, you must play this one dungeon 950 times to get an item"

But they're honestly geniuses with WoW Classic...who knew you could get people to pay for the same garbage....twice.

[wintry dagger]

gta

[stoic beacon]

At least they improved on existing systems somewhat

[tired glade]

Had you even played wow?

[stoic beacon]

You have to give them credit for that

[stoic beacon]

Yes, WoW came out just a few years after college, and my friends and I jumped into it super hardcore. It didn't take long for us to realize how bad it actually was

FFXIV and GW2 exist now to replace it, and most people don't have time for MMOs in general anymore, since the usage gap is so wide

[tired glade]

Oh

[stoic beacon]

It's hard to satisfy anyone in the middle when the portion of your players that spend the most money on the game actually WANT it to require 16 hours a day and the people who just want to play but not spend a ton of money don't have the time to spend on that

But given the subscription economy that we're moving towards at this point, I think that's going to be universal before too long

[tired glade]

Oh,a lot of reasoning

[molten drift]

coughs in alliance

[stoic beacon]

I mean, it's great for the people who still do play it...my dislike towards it is borne out of a combination of knowing there are other games that do it better and a nostalgia for something that was there that is not there anymore

[molten drift]

Different strokes for different folks

I also just realized today that the game gun by neversoft is using a modified tony hawk underground engine.

[wintry dagger]

yeah that should just be an update, not a new game

[stoic beacon]

No, when you are making big upgrades, you need engine swaps

[wintry dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/thomas-gif-22570068

[tired glade]

Wow swapped engine 3 times already

[near nebula]

Guild Wars 2 could possibly do with that as in some areas, the framerates tank even with good system builds

[tired glade]

If people will ask

[stoic beacon]

Not with the remaining dev team they have...If anything, they would release a Guild Wars 3 built on a newer engine

[near nebula]

ah, a shame then...

[stoic beacon]

The main downside to a service based game without a subscription, sadly

[near nebula]

but I did hear if the game gets announced possibly next year, GW3 would be using a more widely known engine

[stoic beacon]

Probably Unreal, if anything...would allow them to cut a lot of people from their team, which they may have to do anyways, since the game doesn't exactly pull a ton of money in

[tired glade]

Lol mmo on horizon,that can be last big mmo ever

[near nebula]

Don't get me wrong, Guild Wars 2 still looks incredible, especially End of Dragons, but when it tanks, it tanks hard

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, they nailed the stylization

[near nebula]

and not even a powerful CPU/GPU combo can fix that sadly

[tired glade]

It's possible,in the end

[small zephyr]

🤨 i wish corsair would sell ram budles with 2 dummys included in their dual kits

dual chanel rgb ram looks stupid if rgb ram you needa populate all 4 dimms

you mean like these? https://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-black-light-enhancement-kit-inc-2x-ddr4-dummy-modules-with-10-addressable

[small zephyr]

yeah would be so much more convienient if they have bundles in stead of ordering em seprately

[fossil frost]

that is a bundle of 2 dummy sticks

[small zephyr]

yeah but lets say you buy an 2x8gb kit why cant the sell an bund,le of 2x8gb stick with 2 dummys

[fossil frost]

they are 2 separate products, you may as well ask them to bundle 2x8gb ddr4 with a giraffe

[small zephyr]

aorus had an lited edition where there were 2 dummy included

😮 i just saw saphire has an nitro+ stlye aio i think i needa get it it will fit my nitro+ gpu

[ocean terrace]

Reason I got 4 sticks

[sonic barn]

I got a tree

Do pc parts go on sale during Christmas? I want to ask for an aio but it’s kinda out of bugget

[gilded quest]

probably a little

[lament karma]

how do i change the time on discord

[wintry dagger]

omg I found out why my cpu is fucky

it immediately hits 95c even though without my 3070 and with my 970 it would hit 75 and peak

[ocean terrace]

Why

Like why is it overheating immediately

[wintry dagger]

This

[ocean terrace]

Ohhh I see now

Yo, bought my whole parts list today, gpu is looking fire

[manic torrent]

repaste and reseat

[sonic barn]

depends on what powell says & does

I'm hoping that most companies go bankrupt, everything gets cheaper

otherwise this year there'll be basically no sales during christmas

[stoic beacon]

That is not how economics works. Companies go bankrupt, other companies increase their prices.

[sonic barn]

most companies are in debt from the pandemic

Intel has 40 billion debt as of last quarter

nvidia is 10 billion

microsoft is 50 bilion

[gilded quest]

yeah but nvidia also has like $30bn in assets with Jensens various jackets

and spatulas

[sonic barn]

apple is 119 billion

amd debt is only sub 3 billion

[stoic beacon]

This might blow your mind, but many companies are in debt the majority of the time.

It's the only way we've grown so fast

[sonic barn]

https://tradingeconomics.com/nvda:us:debt

but its bad when the economy slows especially when bonds fall

companies have huge interest rates

[stoic beacon]

It's necessary, or else the concept of infinite growth catches up and people starve to death

[sonic barn]

we live in that society

money printer go brrr

[manic torrent]

most companies go bankrupt, the entire economy fails. you're lining up for bread.

[stoic beacon]

You haven't seen the effects yet though, you haven't lived through the past times its happened

[sonic barn]

well commodities are different, I think we're in the stages of the end of free market

[gilded quest]

fuck yeah

[sonic barn]

look at eu ttf futures and uk gas futures

[gilded quest]

bring on societal collapse

[stoic beacon]

Commodities are tech at this point. You are speaking about things that you do not know about.

[sonic barn]

up 30% in a single day because of nordstream even though they are not even receiving gas from russia since mid august

[gilded quest]

imagine heating your homes from combusting fossils

[sonic barn]

and agsi.gie.eu shows that they are reporting 88% storage build which is over the target of 80% for the winter

https://agsi.gie.eu/data-overview/graphs/eu
Look at the historical numbers for eu, way ahead of schedule and germany states they won't have enough for winter but they never failed in that regard.

its legit a problem with the free market

they did the same with food, except that affects ALL poor countries around the world. So people starved to death in 3rd world countries

[sonic barn]

commodities is a paper market like a stock except regulation is minimal and contracts can be bought in large numbers, or shorted across the world. Someone can trade coffee in the usa and buy a ton of contracts which will end up increasing the price when the spot is closed eom contract

Now if you have businesses stepping in with their investments and buying up the contracts to push the price up so let's say CHK (hedge funds own over 50% of this), then you'll see natural gas prices spike whenever they want. Even if the news reports a large storage build or LNG freeport is down. When there was a little tiny report that freeport was allowed to reopen at earliest october, NG=F went from 7.2 to 8.65$.

and the fine for JP Morgan manipulating the gold market was only 1 billion, when they did it for decades, profiting off the losses of people pricing in the real value

I hope this system burns, regular people around the world are suffering due to it. Work work and prices keep shooting up. Everyone either lives paycheck to paycheck, works 2 jobs, relies on government aid packages, commit crimes, etc...

rn that's happening with the eu. GBP and EUR are already falling and there's unrest with people not paying the bills because they are unreal contrasted to what they were 1 year ago. If you look at uk gas and ttf graphs. Some months are all different and that spike is what is paid by regular people

[austere narwhal]

I had a dream last night about a system with a 7950x3d AND a 5995 thread ripper with dual evga 4090 ti ftw3 ultras (yes I know) complete with rgb and 420mm aios for both cpus, and two laptops attached 😍

Wild stuff

[somber frigate]

Just watched the m2 air video, and wanted to note that I actually use mine for solidworks through parallels on occasion, it actually works surprisingly well with 16gb ram

Starts to chug a bit in assemblies over 300 parts or so, but it's definitely usable for quick field edits and viewing

[gilded quest]

to be fair solidworks runs on a potato

[somber frigate]

True

which is what I love about it lol

It came down to the xps13 plus or the macbook for me, and once I got to actually try an xps13 plus the decision was made

There has been an interesting development in the Dbrand Killswitch project. so the magnetic kickstand slows down the fan on some of earlier released units when they used a different fan. and only just realized a few days after you could start putting orders in

i’ve gotten up to 197 WPM on the magic keyboards

fuckin magnets; how do they work?

[proud stump]

Should I get a 12tb hard drive for my extra stuff or should I get a good nvme drive it's gonna hold my games apps videos etc

[grim rover]

I know right... but tbf their response is pretty great. they are going to send out a version with a mechanical attachment in Jan for free

[manic torrent]

only you can answer that, depends on your use case. I have a 2tb SSD for games.

[proud stump]

So ssd

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i sign in with LTTforum

[wintry dagger]

oh

ill try through that then

[wraith sonnet]

#ltx-2023 I did something utterly stupid

[manic torrent]

why not?

[fluid ridge]

is there another reason you would want to sub to floatplane?

[gilded quest]

sub 2 floatplane for the content and quality, not image permissions

[fluid ridge]

sure, the behind the scenes and extra footage is probably pretty cool, but i think theyre on floatplane because nobody would watch them on YT

as for quality, youtube hd is more than enough

however floatplane is a banger deal for image permissions in the server

[manic torrent]

you're so judgy

[gilded quest]

yes

[gilded quest]

imma lose this argument arent i

[fluid ridge]

floatplane is 30 bucks a year

[wraith sonnet]

csf

[gilded quest]

fwiw floatplane HD is sooooo much better than YT 4k

[fluid ridge]

if you paid that for nitro, youd lose a lot of money

[manic torrent]

lose?

[fluid ridge]

si

no longer have

[manic torrent]

that's not what lose means.

[ocean narwhal]

mfw you've never streamed yt in 4k

and almost never even fullscreen your videos

🥴

[sonic barn]

my vpn is 0$ a year

[manic torrent]

huh?

[dreamy rose]

Fuck sakes. Track 28 is a pain in the arse.

[ocean terrace]

[sonic barn]

its a obfuscated vpn thing that's free

most are like 60$ a year

[red obsidian]

What’s the 3090ti gonna drop to

[sonic barn]

0$ in 2050

[fluid ridge]

we're going to have 316 core i5s in 2050

[wintry dagger]

vps that are free sell ur data and basically arent vpns yk

[manic torrent]

vpns all sell your data

[sonic barn]

its riseup vpn

[wintry dagger]

I learned that the hard way when I downloaded breath of the wild using proton vpn and we still got a dmca email

[sonic barn]

https://riseup.net/en/vpn

[wintry dagger]

I bet that vpn also sells ur data

[sonic barn]

bruh its open source

[wintry dagger]

hmm open source vpn doesnt sound like a bad idea at all

[dry trellis]

Has there been anything on PIA?

[karmic flame]

Pia is good

[dry trellis]

Was just wondering considering the sponsorships had been put on hold and now seem to have stopped

At least I haven’t noticed them on the videos I watch

But I haven’t seen any mention of them

[karmic flame]

I use it as well as a few LMG staffers. They dont keep any data. They just had an independent audit that confirmed that. Speeds are also decent.

that being said, improper use or installation "human error" can cause it not to work properly.

[dry trellis]

Alrighty. It’s just felt a bit odd since the sponsorship hasn’t been lively and I see so many other vpns marketing. Also when they were bought up I think that’s when operation paused?

[ocean narwhal]

Isn't PIA owned by some shiter company

Or was that tunnelbear

[gilded quest]

Tunnelbear sponsor spots were..... interesting

[ocean narwhal]

Also just because they dont keep your data doesn't mean other people aren't

[karmic flame]

I cant comment on the sponcership.. Tunnel bear was in fact dropped once MCafee purchased them lol

[gilded quest]

The suit gives me nightmares to this day

[dry trellis]

Tunnelbear was messy which is why they went to PIA I know that much

[ocean narwhal]

what does riseup do?

[dry trellis]

Some Israeli firm bought PIA

[karmic flame]

At the end of the day a VPN is a deterrent.

If someone wants to get your data, they will. Also all ISP's know when you are using a VPN and some will actually throttle you once its detected.

[ocean narwhal]

A free VPN, yeah right. lol

[sonic barn]

its open source

[ocean narwhal]

Are the servers open source? can i ssh into them?

Ofc the VPN connection is open src you can use a wireguard connection for all kinds of vpns

[karmic flame]

The software might be open source but its not the software you are concerned about.. its the servers

[manic torrent]

a VPN is a SERVICE

[karmic flame]

I can give you access to my VPN service. You can use it all you want..

But i will be watching everything you do..
Would you like that free service ?

[ocean narwhal]

I recommend mullvad but only because their payment systems give them some level of merit

I don't use it for anything super private, that's just silly

[sonic barn]

its based on donations

[ocean narwhal]

Doesn't mean its any good

[sonic barn]

everything is ran by the dev community

[ocean narwhal]

'the dev community'

[karmic flame]

for example.. simple google search gives me this..

Bitmask Riseup VPN contains a local privilege escalation flaw due to improper access controls. When the software is installed with a non-default installation directory off of the system root, the installer fails to properly set ACLs. This allows lower privileged users to replace the VPN executable with a malicious one. When a higher privileged user such as an Administrator launches that executable, it is possible for the lower privileged user to escalate to Administrator privileges.

[ocean narwhal]

I don't use wireguard because im lazy but you need to use that if you care about the client-side

It's all pointless anyways. You just raise the bar for who can get you

[gaunt marlin]

not sure where to ask this but I figure folks here might have some idea. I was wondering how the semiconductor industry handles disposal of sulfur hexafluoride used in its manufacturing?

[karmic flame]

Ummm

[sonic barn]

they don't

same thing with ammonia gases and what ever, it is a waste product

gases are emitted

[gaunt marlin]

that is concerning

[sonic barn]

well its consumerism after all, profits are the only things people are after

[ocean narwhal]

sell it to me to make goofy voice gas

[lean flare]

Did LTT mess up?
Their newest Short Circuit video just went private..

[ocean narwhal]

I own all of the sulfur hexaflouride

[remote compass]

yeah i went to edit my comment and its gone lol

i came here wondering the same thing

[lean flare]

It was uploaded 3 hours ago and looked like it was about a smart ring, am I right? Lol

[remote compass]

correct

[lean flare]

It was in my list but it wouldn't let me watch it, and with a reload it was gone. xD

[remote compass]

it was the oura ring or how ever its spelled but 350 and a monthly fee is nonsense

nice app cool features but hard pass with a monthly fee

[lean flare]

Then if I went back to the Home on Youtube TV, it gave me a blank thumbnail as it didn't entirely reload it. #off-topic

I posted the image there.

[dry trellis]

Damn. I should’ve watched it instead of bingeing plainly difficult

[remote compass]

i replyed to someone who commented on me then was gonna go edit/delete my reply and the vid was gone when i refreshed

[dry trellis]

Lost media lol

Not that it matters for that

[lean flare]

Indeed

[modest trail]

What happened to the vid about the ring?

[remote compass]

idk most i could see was people complaining about shilling a product or something but nothing seemed off about the video lol was just a sponsored video about the ring

[hollow pulsar]

It was taken down by Golem

[dry trellis]

But this is why for some specific channels I try to download videos as soon as I see them

[lean flare]

Don't know, it got privated right before I could watch it. Mere seconds.

[modest trail]

Did you for the vid?

[robust fjord]

I got a possibly new weird content for LMG: I found something of a Radeon RX 6600m.... in normal GPU form FACTOR(WHAT)

[remote compass]

yeah it seems to be getting more and more important now adays

[lean flare]

Probably not since they said it.

[dry trellis]

No. I don’t bother with LTT. Other channels I consider more important for preservation/storage

[modest trail]

True

[dry trellis]

I tend to focus on animations

Short stories

[modest trail]

Maybe thay posted it to early

[remote compass]

probally it

[lean flare]

Maybe.. 3 hours late to be taking it down. Lol

[remote compass]

they did post a video 5 hours ago ususally they space them out a bit

[sullen jacinth]

Did the oura ring video just get removed

[modest trail]

Yes

[remote compass]

yes

[lean flare]

No, just privated.

[modest trail]

That is what everyone is talking about rn

[manic torrent]

oh... I already watched it

[modest trail]

…

[sullen jacinth]

lol, sry. Just refreshed to look at the comments and was confused cause I had some personal issues with youtube links and auto link translations recently.

[modest trail]

🤔

[remote compass]

basically did the same shit and got confused as well lol

[dry trellis]

Just a reminder. Back up everything you care about. If possible buy your games drm free. Your music as well. Download videos at risk of deletion by papa YouTube.

[sullen jacinth]

^^^^^^^^

Jellyfin ftw. ....that video hurt to watch.

[robust fjord]

confirming, its from a manufacturer called 51 risc

[dry trellis]

Games from itch.io and GOG are drm free.
Music can often be bought from creator sites or bandcamp.
Or YouTube videos can be backed up, some songs I have no other way to obtain as they’re old and obscure

[lean flare]

What's funny is that the videos are side by side on my 'Recently Uploaded'.
Photos uploaded to: #off-topic

[sullen jacinth]

Actually, I should check the form on that, I'm kinda shocked nothing more has come from it.

[lean flare]

If I highlight the video, I can peak into a short sped up clip of it. xD

[remote compass]

lol just went and looked and also saw some dude complaining linus is a shill

[lean flare]

As yes.

[dry trellis]

Dude that Linus guy. He’s such a shill for this lttstore.com.

Lol

[remote compass]

tbh the tldr of the video was its a cool ring it has a 5 dollar fee basically has all the same sensors as the latest smart watches minus accelerometer i believe but the app looks like it gives fantastic info too bad about the subscription fee

[lean flare]

Huh.. interesting.

[dry trellis]

Yeah. Subscriptions shouldn’t be necessary for that if just your phone and the ring could communicate with each other

[lean flare]

Annoying but cool.

[dry trellis]

DRM uselessness

[remote compass]

the only compelling thing is the app if u have a smartwatch already its basically the same info but a bit more indepth?

[hollow pulsar]

Every company wants that lucrative subscription. Too bad for them, I’m usually smart about my money.

[dry trellis]

Creates ewaste when a company goes out

[remote compass]

yeah it would be cool if they did a "lifetime" membership fee 50 bucks 100 bucks then u dont have to think of monthly fees change ur rings whenever ect

[dry trellis]

I wish more channels like LTT would take a harder stance against useless subscriptions and DRM only Content

Like remember the motorcycle airbag vest

[hollow pulsar]

Lol what a joke

[remote compass]

well look at glasswire used to be a one time fee now its monthly nonsense

[dry trellis]

Hardware that needs constant online access to renew a subscription is just plain stupid

[hollow pulsar]

Devils advocate because I know this isn’t what you meant. But for the lol’s. Cable Modems.

[sullen jacinth]

You people are my people on this topic.

[robust fjord]

MLLSE is also a brand, but wow, makes me wanna buy it and take it for the team :kek

[remote compass]

unless they give u the hardware for free so u pay for the service then hardware should be 1 time cost u buy it then theres no additional strings

[dry trellis]

A reply to that devils advocate. People wanting to set up their own large area network after the apocalypse hits using scavenged hardware

[manic torrent]

how are they supposed to support the service though?

[remote compass]

increase the price of the item

[manic torrent]

to support the service infinitely and not be able to compete in store/online?

[sullen jacinth]

Apple model.

[dry trellis]

What service? The app shouldn’t need constant bug fixes right? The ring communicates with the phone and sends data directly to the phone? Why would it need to send data to an external server.

[remote compass]

this

[manic torrent]

in this instance perhaps, but it's a real issue.

[dry trellis]

If the app can’t be updated so support a newer OS then fine. At least the ring doesn’t become ewaste

[manic torrent]

now that all said, I rooted my vacuum so I could manage it entirely locally

[dry trellis]

You can still use an older phone with the app

[small zephyr]

🤨 ooof i was considering getting amd 7000 series but i dont wanna spend over 400bucks on an motherboard where i need to put another 200bucks on ram on

[full fossil]

Depends on how fast 🗿

[small zephyr]

[full fossil]

Some fat people would love to be you @small zephyr

[wraith sonnet]

end my suffering

I typed "xcopy c:\ f:\ /s /e /h /i /c /y" over three hours ago

[hollow pulsar]

Did you run cmd as admin?

[wraith sonnet]

yes

but I may abort the idea

this all started because my dumbass decided to put my boot drive in a hotswap bay

[full fossil]

Ltt

[dry trellis]

I mean, that shouldn’t matter much as long as you didn’t pull it in operation

You didn’t pull it while in operation right?

[wraith sonnet]

I would like to have at least one bulk storage device

[dry trellis]

I just mean in reference to boot being in a hot swap bay

[barren herald]

Reading up on why I can’t find the video, but yea this is basically it. I’ve had the ring for a couple months and I like it simply for the form factor. They do have a lot more metrics from what I’ve soon compared to other competitors, but the usefulness is debatable. And of course the price.

[wraith sonnet]

yeah I give up

pulling my boot drive out rn and then I'm just gonna install windows the normal way

curious if this message will send

[wintry dagger]

nvm wrong server

[wraith sonnet]

Holy fuck that worked

[calm spindle]

Lemme guess, you took the hard drive out and THEN sent the message, correct?

[wraith sonnet]

SSD but yes

[calm spindle]

Ah, ok

[wraith sonnet]

The whole point is I have nowhere else to put an hdd

[calm spindle]

Oh

Well, meanwhile I'm here as a tech enthusiast and have never touched a single PC (except school) in my life

[sonic barn]

I got my first actual laptop that wasn't for school back in 2018 summer

Before that I had a Asus x53u with 4gb ram 250gb HDD amd c-60

Used it rarely and never watched YouTube

Then I got a Lenovo y50-70 for 400$ cad and later upgraded the ram to 16gb. Sold it to my brother for 350$ cad back in 2020 when they wanted a cheap laptop

It was the Kepler variant which was 4gb 860m rather than 2gb 860m. So mine was the same as a 960m 4gb as it was basically+-1% difference between those cards

So you're fine starting off late or early in the pc space. I was 14 when I actually started using a computer normally

[calm spindle]

Well... @sonic barn, I actually have a family laptop since 2017, but it's a Celeron N3350

Parents said that they bought it for 500 euros

And I think they got scammed

Cause it can't even launch Minecraft 1.19

[neon estuary]

winning i guess

I’m looking into buying S22+, and it seems youtube and Reddit has pretty different opinions on battery life.

YTers say it’s great and can go through over a day of use easily. Redditors say it’s barely half a day of use.

Which one should I trust?

It won’t really be an issue since my iPhone is already less than either claim, but I would prefer a bigger battery

I am considering the exynos version if that matters

if your cooking a meal and there's smoke will it damage your pc components

[woeful minnow]

1. Smoke? Did you burn something? 2. Why is your pc near your stovetop

[full fossil]

Delicious cooking of steaks making sure I don't damage anything

I live in studio

[woeful minnow]

If there’s smoke you should probably find a way to cook it outside but short answer yes it can damage stuff

[full fossil]

K thanks

It's just the smoke from steaks being cooked and how will jt damage I have 13 fans jn it

[twin raptor]

Smoke particles are smaller than the space for example between a hdd platter and rw head, can brick an hdd

[ocean terrace]

well, why dont you cover your pc with something

People who got just the backpack.

Did they get their partial refund pretty much right before their backpack was shipped?

I just got partially refunded for the sticker pack shipping (because I only got a backpack and free stickers lol) so I'm wondering if my wave 1 backpack is going to be shipped very soon?

I'm as excited for this as I was for my steam deck LMAO xD I've been needing a backpack for sooo loong

[atomic latch]

I5 12600k or R7 5800x

[full fossil]

RIP Qubick. he was a good person on this server. he was just hit by hurricane IAN

[atomic latch]

worth buying a R5 system now or in near future?

[robust fjord]

Well it will retain better value than a ryzen 3 or worse a pre 12th gen i3/i5

[vague ice]

7600x?

[robust fjord]

7th gen ryzen 5 though is another story

Wait for AMD's x3d stuff

[vague ice]

Why do ded pixel of oled and lcd screens look similar

[vague ice]

Imagine 7600x3d

[vague wadi]

yo whats up gang !

[vague ice]

Hi

[atomic latch]

i dont really care about retaining value because im just going to use the pc for 5 years

im looking to get a 3060ti system with r5 5600x but considering intel and new AMD and DDR5

[vague wadi]

how you doing

[vague ice]

Good you?

[vague wadi]

solid, just got my setup finished after moving

[willow patrol]

is it just me, or did youtube remove comment dates and usernames?

[ashen zodiac]

[full fossil]

pretty sure it didnt do that

[willow patrol]

on desktop, sorry i forgot to add that

[full fossil]

I am on desktop

[willow patrol]

hm

[full fossil]

refresh the page maybe

[willow patrol]

nah its been like this for a week

[full fossil]

go into another tab and open youtube there

oh sorry you cant do that

[ashen zodiac]

at least in chrome on linux they work

[full fossil]

[manic torrent]

Maybe burn some sage

[full fossil]

[willow patrol]

arg

yea on edge it works fine

the only time i've had to open edge since i've got my computer

Oh my goodness, it seems the block element feature from adblock was blocking those elements.

I don't even remember blocking any of it

Either way it's finally fixed, thank you for your help

😄 👍

[full fossil]

I doubt if this server is still active

[willow patrol]

what's it to ya

[full fossil]

#linux this server has something for me

How often does Anthony come in chat??

[willow patrol]

IDK I don't think most LTT employees are very active in discord

as they have other stuff to do

like y'know running youtube channels

[full fossil]

Ya

[willow patrol]

But i've only seen someone from LTT join the chat like once

[full fossil]

Once in a year?

[willow patrol]

from at least the time i've been active in here

IDK when I joined, probably 8 months ago

no more

[full fossil]

Hmmm

[willow patrol]

but i dunno i dont really use discord that much so ask someone who tracks "celebrities" online

or more likely someone who just is in this server a lot

[small zephyr]

the moment you unbox your 40€ case you ordered to be greeted with another cardboard box you open it and then theres there actucal case packaging

like at least 10-20bucks worth of cartboard for an cheap aero cool case

[edgy silo]

my friend told me this server exist long time ago

ive been watching wan show since 2021 and never knew

"hey @edgy silo try discord link with ltt behind it"

"?????"

[manic torrent]

No, everyone is dead.

[manic torrent]

Yeah nah

[fossil frost]

hmmn... "flood of cheap gpus" doesnt seem to have happened... "flood of gpus" has happened... but miners are all trying to recoup the high price they paid.. people seem to still think that a rx 470 is worth £150, which is what it would have cost new

[harsh lodge]

Question

My pc when turned on makes a weird noise and turns off.

And it repeats

This problem literally emerged overnight

Yesterday it was working perfectly

[static stag]

people weren't exactly picking up 470s to mine the last couple years hahaha

[fossil frost]

you might wanna look on ebay for the huge amount of ex-mining 470's that are on there before you act condescending 🙂

[unborn flare]

which distro

[ashen zodiac]

Endeavour

[unborn flare]

ayy same

[manic torrent]

"weird noise"

That's not a descriptive term, my friend.

[hoary furnace]

Why cant google assistant do "In 5 minutes, do Y"

[manic torrent]

Does it scream like a goat? Does it tick? Does it beep? Does it sound like the souls of the dead are inside and want to scratch their way out?

[hoary furnace]

fuck sake that'd actually be useful

[manic torrent]

What do you want it to do in 5 min

[analog badger]

Hi

[willow patrol]

Anyone know if the original Athlon came before the first Xeon?

NVM found it

[hoary furnace]

Frequently it's stuff like turn the lights off etc

[manic torrent]

Yeah, maybe a routine?

[hoary furnace]

I guess that'd work, just more adhoc generally

[manic torrent]

Athlon xp was vs the p4.

[hoary furnace]

home assistant can probably do it if i try harder

[manic torrent]

Yeah we use google assistant, but it's all through home assistant. HA makes it all local

[hoary furnace]

I havent finalised that stuff yet, but i do have it all in HA

[manic torrent]

https://www.cnet.com/home/smart-home/google-home-scheduling-tasks-recent-update-brings-a-handy-new-trick-to-your-voice-assistant/

[hoary furnace]

oh damn

i missed that

[manic torrent]

This claims you can, but honestly.... They change it so frequently and without notice or changelog you never know

[hoary furnace]

oh. it does work

I just wasnt using the correct word ordering apparently

[manic torrent]

Like saying "screen off" would turn off the screen on our nest hub and leave audio playing.

Then it would try and turn off the tv

Then they fixed that and now the screen goes off and it stops playing.

[hoary furnace]

gotta do "do y in x minutes" instead of "in x minutes, do y"

[manic torrent]

Also, stop stopped working for audio a few weeks ago, so if you are listening to music and say stop, it will try to stop any video playing. Which is A+++

Music will only pause now.

[willow patrol]

ive been doing that for a while lol

i didnt know it was a new feature

[manic torrent]

So of course Tonight, Netflix says "are you still there" and I asked google to unpause, so it started playing Spotify. Even though that's not how it used to work at all.

[hoary furnace]

that sucks

[willow patrol]

google poogle or something IDK

[manic torrent]

We don't use remotes for anything, we do it all via phones and google assistant

[hoary furnace]

I have a few rules for smart stuff at home

• it must have physical buttons to do it as well
• it must be local (although I'm not winning this fight atm)
• it must still work if my server/internet is down

so tv remotes still used a lot

smart lights still have physical buttons which if you turn off and on, turns them back on

[manic torrent]

See we have a small child.

[unborn flare]

so you don't use anything smart at all?

[manic torrent]

We have that for most, and everything is now local

[hoary furnace]

No, you can get far following those rules

[manic torrent]

Some stuff won't work if the server is down but tough

[unborn flare]

ye

[hoary furnace]

I mean yeah, i dont expect plex to keep working if the servers down

[manic torrent]

It's a docker container, so grabbing the backed up config and running it is trivial

[hoary furnace]

but light bulbs? they must

[blazing pond]

can someone help me, i wanna revert my laptop back to windows 10, it is currently windows 11 and it has been 10 days + so im not sure how should i downgrade

[unborn flare]

no you can't kek having it local and working without the server at the same time?

[manic torrent]

This is why I love esphome. You can have your cake and eat it too, by programming the switch to have failsafe.

[unborn flare]

clean install

[manic torrent]

... why downgrade?

[hoary furnace]

Yes, the smart functionality should be a feature, not a dependency

[hoary furnace]

Ah, understandable, we only have cats

[blazing pond]

i used to get 100+ fps and now i get 60 and below ever since i upgraded to w11

[manic torrent]

Uhhh that's not a w11 feature

[blazing pond]

how? also will i lose my windows

[blazing pond]

oh

[manic torrent]

Any difference in framerates is extremely unlikely to be w11

[hoary furnace]

probably something else you did during the update, or didnt do, or around that time

[unborn flare]

unless you have serverly underpowered hardware

[blazing pond]

my friend has the exact same laptop and he gets 100+ fps on windows 10

i dont think so

i just got this laptop few months ago

[unborn flare]

did you get it on your system tho

[hoary furnace]

in the same game, with the same settings, with the power plugged in?

[blazing pond]

ive never dropped it or anything

[blazing pond]

yes

[manic torrent]

Ok great. Drivers up to date? Same exact settings? Double check everything?

Also what power scheme

[blazing pond]

yeah it is

[blazing pond]

wdym power scheme? you mean power plan?

[manic torrent]

Yes, power plan

[hoary furnace]

tbh you need to look at your system stats and see what's happening

maybe youre overheating, maybe youve got it not to use the gpu (if seperate)

[blazing pond]

its high performence

[manic torrent]

Check task manager?

[blazing pond]

no im not

[manic torrent]

Check your temps, fans

Check yourself (before you wreck yourself)

[hoary furnace]

my point was you need to check all of them, that's the only way to see

and then see whats being maxed

[blazing pond]

how do i check my other hardware temp other than my gpu

[manic torrent]

Using hwinfo64

[blazing pond]

do i have to download?

or is it a software on my laptop

[hoary furnace]

download

[blazing pond]

alright

alright done now what

[elfin python]

What gpu should I upgrade from my 1060 6gb

[blazing pond]

what games do u play

and what cpu do u have

[elfin python]

I currently have an i7 4790 but I plan to buy a 5600 and some accompanying parts

[blazing pond]

maybe a 3060

[elfin python]

And I play csgo and some medium games on a 1080p 165hz monitor

[blazing pond]

ah i see

im pretty sure a 3060 should do

[blazing pond]

5600X or just 5600

[elfin python]

5600

I want to try overclocking it because I can

[blazing pond]

o

wait

are u gonna get a amd cpu?

[elfin python]

Yes

I don’t feel like getting intel

[blazing pond]

then u need a new motherboard too

i see

[blazing pond]

whats ur cpu cooler

[elfin python]

My CPU’s socket died in 2015

I was going to get a new motherboard anyway

[blazing pond]

oh

[elfin python]

Hyper 212 white edition
It has two fans in a well ventilated case

[blazing pond]

is it air cooled or water cooled

[elfin python]

It’s a budget single tower cooler

[blazing pond]

ah

[elfin python]

So that means air

[blazing pond]

i see

[elfin python]

It should be able to handle a 5600 well

Since it is a 65w cpu
The i7 4790 is an 84w cpu

[blazing pond]

some people say overclocking with a air cooled cooler wouldnt be quite effective

but i think if u have a 5600 and a 3060 theres no need for overclocking

[sonic barn]

I got a 4hr exam today for a stupid class

[blazing pond]

what subject

[elfin python]

Perhaps

[sonic barn]

Photography

[elfin python]

Good luck
I have exams soon too

GCE O levels for me

[blazing pond]

because rn i have a 7 5800x and a gtx 1650 (planning to upgrade soon) and its running quite fast already

[blazing pond]

ayo same

[sonic barn]

Photography, humanities, English are all a waste of time

[elfin python]

Do you live in Singapore

[blazing pond]

malaysia

[elfin python]

Aw

[blazing pond]

good luck to all of u

[elfin python]

😄

[blazing pond]

damn gl

[sonic barn]

Even my programming tests are 1hr long

[carmine merlin]

I already had exams. ||and my teachers refuse give us mid term breaks||

[blazing pond]

💀

[sonic barn]

Not 4 hours writing 3 pages like it's English class

[elfin python]

Anyways I plan to spend 700 dollars in total for a CPU,MB, Ram and a cheap m.2 ssd

[blazing pond]

not sure if a cheap m.2 is a good idea

[sonic barn]

Even in English classes we don't write 3 pages

[blazing pond]

:D

[sonic barn]

It's max 1000 words

[elfin python]

Its a team group ssd I am after

[blazing pond]

ah isee

[elfin python]

It should be decent, PCIE 3x4

[blazing pond]

true

how much storage are u planning on getting

[carmine merlin]

reason they don't give us breaks is 1. We're working on a theatrical performance. and 2. I have to practice for my english competition

[blazing pond]

thats sad bro

[elfin python]

512GB

[blazing pond]

ooo

[elfin python]

Because I have two hard drives and a random 1tb ssd my dad gave me

[blazing pond]

i see

[elfin python]

My current ssd is…
MSATA and 128gb shock

[blazing pond]

the 2 hard drives are 2tb?

[blazing pond]

i see why u wanna get a new one

[elfin python]

One is a WD blue 1tb
The other is a Seagate SSHD, firecuda 2tb

I use the WD blue for old stuff before 2020
