[blazing pond]

ah

[full fossil]

kinda sad that coolio died

[elfin python]

I’m not even bothered by the slow CPU and Ram, it still works fine for me

But goddamn is it annoying that I can’t instead Nvidia drivers without clearing out stuff

And I don’t really want just another SATA SSD

[blazing pond]

mmm i see

[elfin python]

Let me look for the ssd name that I want

[past egret]

got m.2?

[carmine merlin]

But there is 1 day of break. It's a regional holiday for everyone here. So 3 days before I get that holiday, I will start to make a cake. Basically, I wanted to say that holidays in my school is so rare, I was willing to bake a cake 3 days prior to celebrate just 1 day of break.

[blazing pond]

i got a reccomendation

SSD 970 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB

🙃

[elfin python]

i like the evo version

emo version

[blazing pond]

ayo

[elfin python]

jk

[carmine merlin]

what's the difference between non-evo and evo?

[elfin python]

bruh it 300 dollar on amazon

[blazing pond]

:D

[elfin python]

there is a 990 version now

[past egret]

diff nands

[blazing pond]

yessir

[elfin python]

also

i never knew i could buy the SSD straight from samsung's website

[carmine merlin]

the more you know

[blazing pond]

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-10358303

[manic torrent]

As a rule, you'll never get best price that way

[blazing pond]

um

[elfin python]

why

no discounts or sales?

[blazing pond]

some places sell stuff cheaper so they make u buy more

[manic torrent]

Generally it's just straight RRP.

[elfin python]

i see
but the samsung 980 which i think would fit me for a new upgrade
it costs 82 on samsung's website for 500GB
90 on newegg
88 on amazon

also
the team group mp33 that i am interested in
the 1TB is 89 on newegg
88 on amazon

[night heron]

you can get a 1tb nvme for $56

[full fossil]

hi

[night heron]

usd anyway

[elfin python]

56 USD is 80.5 SGD
I am using SGD so yea

[full fossil]

Any Brazilians here?

[night heron]

ahh okay

[elfin python]

so does 88SGD for a Team Group MP33 sound good

[full fossil]

eu preciso de ajuda para escolher uma fonte barata

pro meu pc basico

775

sorry

[final marten]

Hello

[past egret]

i think you can get a better ssd with that kind of money

so no

[elfin python]

it's already one of the cheapest NVME ssds on newegg singapore

[past egret]

yikes

[small zephyr]

🤔 is the razer viper ultimate worth the money if i can get it for 75€

[past egret]

the software is ass

[small zephyr]

i know i use the nari ultimate

but worlds above icue tho

[dreamy rose]

isn't that that N64 thing for china?

[small zephyr]

nope its corsairs software

[dreamy rose]

Different shit same smell i guess lol

[upbeat ridge]

microsoft why

[dreamy rose]

Certified Office moment

heres a stupid idea, how many hubs can you connect together until it stops working.

[upbeat ridge]

but i can save the same document to the exact same location with the exact same name just replacing the old one

IT HAPPENED AGAIN

i dislike word

[storm wasp]

Ehm what happened with the last ShortCircuit upload?

[mystic ivy]

ello

[storm wasp]

greetings

[mystic ivy]

Bruh my PS4 crashed and made a loud noise after I inserted a Disc

[craggy oyster]

chat has died

[mystic ivy]

I think its some overheating issue

[dreamy rose]

Typical PlayStation behavior.

[mystic ivy]

Shall I get a Wii U?

[dreamy rose]

your Seventh one?

nah just buy a Series S and enjoy Gamepass.

X if you have the cash to drop

[hearty spear]

The Wii U is dope.

[small zephyr]

wiiu is the worst nintendo

[hearty spear]

Not even fucking remotely

[dreamy rose]

no, that belongs to Virtual Boy

[mystic ivy]

agree

[small zephyr]

nah virtuel boy is better

[hearty spear]

This guy remembers the disaster of the Virtual boy

[small zephyr]

it was ,just ahead of its time

[hearty spear]

and the inevitable headaches

[dreamy rose]

not the 64DD Either cause it was cool just didn't sell.

[hearty spear]

The 64DD had potential, but yeah, it didn't sell.

[dreamy rose]

sad because Perfect Dark would have been Awesome with a DD Expansion.

[hearty spear]

The Gamecube, however, could potentially win the award for the most absolutely batshit nintendo hardware configuration ever.

[mystic ivy]

The RED SCREEN

[small zephyr]

well one thing is for sure

nintendo sells the realy nice stuff only in japan

[dreamy rose]

different meaning depending on the ppl u ask.

[small zephyr]

like the panasonic dvd player gamecube for example

[hearty spear]

Since there were select gamecube games that you could play using the GBA as a controller for up to 4 players?

If you had 5 TVs, 4 GCs w Gameboy Adapters, 1 GC... you could connect the central GC to the other 4 using Gameboy Cables and use the TVs as "gameboy screens" while having the "game" on the central screen

[mystic ivy]

I found one on ebay for $1,380.00

[hearty spear]

the panasonic 3DO?

[mystic ivy]

no the Panasonic DVD Player Gamecube

[small zephyr]

for 2 reasons. 1. it didnt realy run well since it was too expensive 2. it was sold only in japan

[mystic ivy]

Also I found its Controller on Cex for £125

No console :|

[hearty spear]

Who remembers the Philips CD-i?

(Which amusingly is the system with the rarest Legend of Zelda game in existence.)

[past egret]

oh ew that thang

[short iron]

Windows 10 upgrade to Windows 11 or clean install? There still a difference like in the old days?

[night heron]

it’s always better to do a clean install if possible

but it probably wouldn’t matter because they’re basically the same OS

[short iron]

My reason, a week ago I went from Windows 11 insiders back to Windows 10. My idle temps is a lot lower now. But I experienced one unfortunate bug twice since last week, my Windows would lag to a almost grinding halt, as if the CPU was utilized 100%, but it was not. Also no hardware faults as I have tested everything and put all parts through their appropriate stress tests. BUT, I am guessing TPM might be the cause of this.

[halcyon sun]

I need some help

my cat stepped on my media keybpard in some combo

my screen went black

except for my oter 2 monitors

[junior tide]

rip coolio

[short iron]

Have you tried Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B?

[junior tide]

he went to gangsta's paradise

[halcyon sun]

thank you

I freaked wwhen suddenly one display turned off

[junior tide]

imagine not doing clean installs and downgrading windows

clean install + further debloat + no defender gang

[manic torrent]

Imagine caring that much

[short iron]

Defender is good, it's the other stuff that's crap. Got to spend half a day setting up firewall whitelists. 😄 And when you game or use a resource heavy app, Defender knows and calms down. 😛

[small zephyr]

Urgh I forgot to cut an cable tie in my PC now it anoys me but I'm to lazy to open it again

[graceful jackal]

i see a cultured man supporting defender

[silk jewel]

did not know that was a thing. just curious, would that crash games if they were running?

[small zephyr]

🤔who though that 4 thumb screws are a good idea

[short iron]

I guess not, just something I noticed. Even while doing a quick scan, if I launch a game the quick scan would pause and then resume afterwards.

And my statement can't really hold much water I guess, as I only replicated this test with Avast, maybe the other apps also has the same built in feature.

[upbeat ridge]

i inteded to do one task of one school subject today
i did three tasks of that subject, did a thing i had a week planned for in 2 hours and now almost finished a reflection except for one (and the longest) chapter
its not even 5pm
wtf

[fossil dirge]

Is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon any good?

[stoic beacon]

Depends on what you're using it for. I love mine a lot

It's extremely light, and the battery is insane

[fossil dirge]

It's for my dad he needs a laptop so he can read images from the hospital

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, that'd be a really good choice for something like that

[fossil dirge]

Alright awesome

I'll definitely get one for my dad

[stoic beacon]

Also, don't sleep on the Lenovo Commercial Vantage software for it. Most people think of stuff like that as bloat. It's actually a really nice piece of software that gives you access to much more advanced settings than the default Windows settings will

[mystic ivy]

My Monitor is making questionable Crunching sounds when I press it a little hard

[cloud ivy]

time to get a new monitor

[night heron]

stop pressing on ur monitor

[mystic ivy]

ok

[atomic osprey]

Goofy Ahhh Uncle Production

[sonic barn]

I got the x13

[wintry dagger]

who touches their monitor?!?!

stop punching it jesus christ

https://tenor.com/view/ea-eeee-gif-23557277

why are threads a thing here?

[full fossil]

Defender is the best av period.

[wintry dagger]

unless if they're doing a roast ur setups thing

[full fossil]

Anyone who says otherwise don't know that they are talking about

[wintry dagger]

landrover defender is also good

[pale cairn]

Best budget (i3 / i5) convertible laptop ..go

[full fossil]

Sherp better.

[full fossil]

shamefully raises hand

[hearty spear]

last X1 carbon I had sucked:
0 upgradability

[wintry dagger]

what is wrong with you

[wintry dagger]

arent all laptops like that sadly?

[stoic beacon]

If you read through his questions, that's pretty much the last thing he needs. People don't buy X1 Carbons for upgradeability

[hearty spear]

I lick my monitor. Regularly.

[full fossil]

sometimes there are little grimey spots

and i just feel the urge

[graceful jackal]

Indeed my guy

[hearty spear]

soldered RAM, no RAM Slot, and even soldered SSD

[wintry dagger]

(ik ur trolling)

[wintry dagger]

yeah basically 99% of laptops these days

[full fossil]

proprietary screws when 🧌

[stoic beacon]

You're talking Bitdefender, right?

[hearty spear]

been in use for years lol.

[stoic beacon]

Because it can get confusing, since Windows Defender has a similar name

[full fossil]

not that common

at least not in my experience

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I can't think of a single laptop that has proprietary screws. I know lots of Nintendo garbage has them

[full fossil]

don't think i've ever personally run into proprietary screws, but i know apple has a few

[hearty spear]

that's just tri-wing

[full fossil]

I'm talking about windows defender

[cloud ivy]

just get a mac book pro 14 and call it a day

[full fossil]

windows defender from windows 10 onwards is actually decent

[stoic beacon]

Interesting. Bitdefender definitely is better than Windows Defender, but there isn't too much point in getting it, unless you have sensitive data/are doing....dangerous things.

[full fossil]

i haven't used a single other antivirus software for the longest time

computer hasn't been hijacked yet

not that i know of anyway

[stoic beacon]

Generally, you don't find out for several years

[full fossil]

had this computer for several years, no signs

and i am pretty wary about what i let on my computer

maybe to the point of paranoia

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, then Windows Defender is probably all you need

[cloud ivy]

antivirus are useless since 2018

[full fossil]

🤨

Windows defender has the deepest access to the system , and it also uses the unified database , it's the most secure

[short iron]

I get that, I don't leave my PC on, cause I don't trust it on it's own. 😄

[full fossil]

please elaborate

[stoic beacon]

It's been proven in many tests that this is not the case.

[echo ridge]

Its not

[stoic beacon]

It is the "it's good enough for most people" option. But saying it's the most secure is just not correct.

[full fossil]

all i know is that i'm not touching norton or mcafee

just because of how annoying they are

[frozen wasp]

guys quick question: 2x16 gb or 4x8 gb in ram sticks, i cant choose 😩

[full fossil]

they may or may not be good antimalware software

[echo ridge]

2x16

[stoic beacon]

Good, those are not good AV softwares.

[hearty spear]

2x16 is better

[frozen wasp]

but the looks of 4 tho...

[cloud ivy]

I mean there is no need to get additional antivirus softwares they all hog cpu , windows defender has been sufficient for a long time now

[stoic beacon]

Bitdefender > Malwarebytes > Kaspersky (questionable with Russia stuff now)

[echo ridge]

2x16 leaves room for 4x16

[full fossil]

sufficient in most use cases yeah probably

but that doesn't render antimalware software useless

there are a lot of instances where you might need one

[echo ridge]

I just use malwarebytes when I think something is sus

[cloud ivy]

hog cpu = useless

[full fossil]

that an incredibly oversimplistic take

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I'm going to go with he doesn't know what he's talking about at this point

[cloud ivy]

modern web browsers are also pretty secure

[full fossil]

yes a lot of them are

however it is still very easy to install malware

[short iron]

Also I think bootable antivirus tools would probably be the best, no system files loaded, the app can do it's thing.

[full fossil]

but windows defender is very basic compared to thirdparty software

like the pc health report or whatever it's called

you get a surface level overview of what is going on

[stoic beacon]

That's great for finding stuff after the fact, but you need it running during standard use to have a real effect

[cloud ivy]

[full fossil]

and reportedly, windows defender has a harder time detecting malware compared to programs like norton 360 or bitdefender

[short iron]

Agree, probably should have added that defender should be ok for that part. But yeah, I was just thinking in terms of finding viruses.

[stoic beacon]

This is correct

[full fossil]

so yeah while windows defender is probably fine in most instances

there are a LOT of computers in the world

and a LOT of malware

[short iron]

False positives?

[stoic beacon]

Many tests are done on this as well. That's why I recommend Bitdefender to most people. Least amount of false positives, and catches far more than Windows Defender does. Malwarebytes and Kaspersky have more false positives.

[short iron]

Or do these apps "detect" malware, to get you to buy a license? I never trust them on trial periods. 😄

[full fossil]

with more unknown antimalware software that may be an issue

[stoic beacon]

That's why the tests are the best way to learn. There are people who run Windows in virtual machines (or on dummy computers) with the different AV softwares on them and INTENTIONALLY get as many viruses as they can to see who catches what

[full fossil]

but norton or bitdefender certainly would have been called out of that if that were the case

considering their popularity

they wouldn't be able to get away with it

[short iron]

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Also good to know.

[full fossil]

some guy on reddit would point it out and then every tech youtuber around the globe would grab it and spread the news

[stoic beacon]

Check out "The PC Security Channel" on Youtube. They go extremely in depth

[short iron]

Yeah, not saying they would do that, but great to know they don't. I just always wondered lol.

[short iron]

Ahh sweet, will look them up

[full fossil]

i personally wouldn't go near unknown antimalware software

but that's just me being worrisome

[stoic beacon]

Also...if you take the time to configure the notifications in the beginning, they won't bother you very much. Some people get AV software and it'll pop up telling them of different things the software can do, and that pisses them off so they uninstall it.

I just go into the settings, set up everything the way I want exactly, and then disable all of the notifications. Then it just hums in the background and I can ignore it

[cloud ivy]

Didnt norton used to sneakily install crypto miners ?

https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/7/22869528/norton-crypto-miner-security-software-reaction

[full fossil]

norton does offer a mining tool

but that's the extent of it

there's nothing really nefarious about it as far as i know

it's off by default, you have to go out of your way to enable it

it's not a sneaky mining process hidden deep in your task manager like some games i've seen people play

[cloud ivy]

https://www.wired.com/story/norton-antivirus-cryptominer-nft-thefts-security-roundup/

[full fossil]

yes, like i said

[stoic beacon]

They publicly announced they were going to, and it doesn't mine unless you tell it to. If you tell it to mine, then they get a commission. In some ways, it was actually a good thing, considering the sheer number of people that got screwed by fake cryptominer software that Twitch streamers suggested, leading to a ton of viruses.

However, I still don't recommend Norton, just because it can't compete with the big three.

[full fossil]

they have a tool called norton crypto

the only reason you might not like it is if you already don't like crypto

[lucid echo]

Yeah this is what I remember about it

[full fossil]

but it isn't maliciously harvesting your computer to get sweet sweet virtual bucks

[echo ridge]

Hi sanic

[full fossil]

so you can sweep that anxiety under the rug

[short iron]

My daughter still has some crypto virus. Any task manager app kills it. So I have a task manager app that auto starts with windows and minimizes itself. Why don't I just fresh install windows for her? She told me not now, games, friends etc.... So waiting it out lol.

[full fossil]

have you attempted to delete the actual virus

[echo ridge]

Malwarebytes

Or Bitdefender

[short iron]

Nothing catches it.

[stoic beacon]

Use AV software to see if you can get it. Bitdefender, Malwarebytes...there's also Hitman, which is great for getting stuff after the fact

[full fossil]

if you can delete it through task manager

just find its location through task manager

[short iron]

I even tried Linux, why I initially did not format in the first place, really wanted to know what virus it is lol

[full fossil]

and delete it

[stoic beacon]

But I mean, the sooner that that fresh install happens, the better...you don't know what all it's doing besides crypto mining

[full fossil]

i mean yeah you could have viruses elsewhere

but you should try an antivirus like bitdefender or malwarebytes

[echo ridge]

If there's one theres probably others

[full fossil]

probably more reliable than right clicking 'open file location' on task manager and deleting the program

[short iron]

You can't, it kills itself as soon as you open any task manager or AV software, like it deletes itself and after a while regenerates itself again lol. Weirdest virus I have seen till date. Only way I could track it was via a port scanning app.

[full fossil]

so it has programs elsewhere then

yeah i'd just try an antimalware software

or fresh install

but your daughter could have a keylogger among other things installed

[cloud ivy]

wipe all partitions go linux

[short iron]

Fresh probably

[full fossil]

doubt the daughter wants to bother wrangling with linux

[cloud ivy]

[stoic beacon]

The sooner the better. It could have keyloggers, it could have webcam enablers/recorders, it could have access to a lot of things.

[full fossil]

^

[short iron]

Luckily no webcam on her system lol, I was like HELL NO 😄

[full fossil]

clever i guess

[cloud ivy]

can someone use webcam without the webcam lights turning on tho

[full fossil]

probably depends on the laptop/webcam model

if the light is triggered by firmware then you may be able to get around it

[short iron]

This was a recent thing though, probably gonna get to it on Saturday. Work keeping me good and busy hehe. Just found a quick patch for now.

Also they wont understand Afrikaans. 😛

[cloud ivy]

fresh wipe wont work if the malware is in the network

[cold raptor]

My valve index and my Samsung odyssey display arrived today

[full fossil]

correct

[cold raptor]

I cant set them up though because I got so sick that leaving my bed makes me worse

There sitting in my living room untouched

[short iron]

Got to eat them veggies. 😁

[cold raptor]

I ate veggies lastnight

I work for a wagamama and I had a veggie based meal

I was fine I got home, went to bed and woke up at 6am by accident then BAM

Got sick

[short iron]

Rich sauces normally gets me.

[hearty spear]

mmmmm, wagamama

[cold raptor]

Tbh it might be the fact I had a big meal at work with a can of pop

Or the fact all my family and half the people at work got a cold / bug

[short iron]

I normally just fill a bowl with some hot water and put vicks (not sure how common it is overseas) in it, towel over the head and steam myself a bit. Followed by a chilly or two then a orange and go to bed. Works most of the time.

That's if you are sick and it's not a stomach thing.

Put your hand up if you're surprised

[pine lava]

did windows put out an update that messed up displays or something?

My displays suddenly changed numbers when they've been the same for... well ever

and no its not a primary monitor fix lol

[gilded quest]

Maybe a GPU driver update?

[pine lava]

ohhh lemme try that cuz ive been racking my brain for about a day now

i put the issue in tech support its driving me crazy not being able to figure out the solution, google doesn't have an answer. all leads back to that noob "primary display" as if that's some secret nobody knows about smh

[pine lava]

Sadly this did not fix the issue either. I wonder why windows insists this is my #1 monitor you’d think the “primary display” would be forced to be number 1

[gilded quest]

monitor numbers are related to the serialization of your display outputs

nothing to do with primary/secondary

[pine lava]

I have not changed my ports yet the display numbers have changed.

I use it for sim racing I don’t touch literally any settings I just get on it and race

[gilded quest]

it do be weird like that

but I've never had primary mean its detected as the first display

[pine lava]

Turner it on yesterday and uhhh… yeah it thinks my little single monitor is the one it runs the game on and not the triple one surrounding me 😂

[gilded quest]

like for example, I am using a laptop with an external display connected

my big display is primary, but my internal display will always be registered as #1

[pine lava]

I can unplugged the single monitor, force the triple to be main… launch the game and replug the single and it goes back to thinking it’s the primary even with the game running 🤦‍♂️

If you check tech support my control panel and windows display are reading different primary monitor so that’s why I asked did windows do an update that messed things up? Because I didn’t touch anything and it sucks.

Looks like imma just have to unplug the monitor up top and use my tablet for chat until windows fixes itself

You could try options though, covered calls are safer than shorting

[mystic ivy]

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues

[sonic barn]

You only lose 100% instead of +100%

If you take a expiry date OEM for calls and puts, as long as it doesn't trade sideways you're fine there as well

I did that with Intel last month

AMD and Nvidia have expensive calls and puts, with low deltas. But that's not financial advice

Just don't go with mutual funds with a bank

You get 4% in a year with low inflation and then end up losing money in context to the situation we just had

4% doesnt cover inflation

[tired glade]

Both are low risk stock

[sonic barn]

Look at Nvidia 1yr chart, you'll see that that's high risk

[tired glade]

Ok

[sonic barn]

Practically erased 1/4 of a trillion

Low risk stocks are low pe

However pe does not reflect unless you go through full year

Like I bought Intel back in June at 36$ a share, sold before earnings report and the thing has been crashing ever since with low pe

[hollow zealot]

Tedolweb I wouldn't trust someone barely out of highschool for stock advice

[short iron]

Depends on wording and if any contracts have been signed.

[tired glade]

If it's not that high risk, expert won't be better

https://tenor.com/view/monorail-simpsons-gif-11138737

[full fossil]

the concept of vactrains like the hyperloop date back to 1799

[ocean narwhal]

Ah forgot I'm poor

[echo ridge]

So every businessman

[tired glade]

No one like them

[full fossil]

a lot of people like them, mainly bureaucrats

[short iron]

It's all about who gets the product out there sadly. They get most of the credit. Like Tesla and Edison, second time Tesla has been screwed over with the car. 😄

[ocean narwhal]

So does that mean we SHOULD credit them???

[tired glade]

If they like buying tickets for x4 time to do same thing as normal train, that on them

[full fossil]

i don't understand the purpose of the hyperloop, it's a more expensive, less efficient and harder to maintain version of the train

electric trains are the most efficient form of transport we have

they work fine

the hyperloop is just an attention grab

[sonic barn]

Nope

[ocean narwhal]

What are his other clown tier projects and claims

[tired glade]

It for rich people

[short iron]

I guess, they got it out there in the first place for customers to buy. Being it them financing it, buying and improving on it etc....

[full fossil]

it's for stupid rich people

im personally excited for the overhead wires for trucks that the UK and germany have been testing

supplying electricity to long-haul trucks in truck lanes like electric trains

[tired glade]

It's sold just for them, but illusions for every one can use it

[ocean narwhal]

Hyperloop is not for rich people

[full fossil]

it's for stupid people

[glossy herald]

lol

[tired glade]

That how you make a lot of money

[ocean narwhal]

Its only for the rich as in its an attempt to harvest government investment money FOR rich people

[full fossil]

exactly

the overhead wire for trucks is such an awesome concept, trucks can operate completely electrically and at the same time charge their batteries without using fuel

?

i'm not saying its more economical

im saying its a good idea

[tired glade]

Hyperlook is pretty stupid idea,it metro without trains

[short iron]

And cars 😛

[full fossil]

it's designed for 250+ mile journeys, up to 1000 miles

[tired glade]

You replace train with cars,you know,the thing that made us cities soo good

[full fossil]

if you consider that a short distance then 🤷‍♂️

[ocean narwhal]

Rip depressurization whenever anything at all happens

[full fossil]

^

[tired glade]

Lol

[full fossil]

it's going to an absolute headache to maintain and operate

[ocean narwhal]

Good luck winding around mountains at 500mph

[tired glade]

So,plane on ground for some reason?

[full fossil]

just use electric trains

or public transport

[tired glade]

Nuclear train is just 350km/h

[ocean narwhal]

Where are the robotaxis???

[tired glade]

And you could woke in those cities,even

[tired glade]

Failed

Looks at any eu city

[short iron]

Could woke?

[full fossil]

i don't know about other places, but so far australian urbanisation isn't to the point where it's unliveable, at least for me

but i hear a lot of americans and europeans complain

[tired glade]

I found out recently,us and canadian children can't play outside, because of cars

[full fossil]

personally i like the idea of carfree areas

big blocks of commercial, residential and greenspace area

[tired glade]

Tell that to car makers

[full fossil]

where noise pollution is dimmed down and the places is overall safer

we do have a large rail network

[tired glade]

Wants something funny,Us has second biggest railway network on in world

[full fossil]

who cares about perth??

i jest

but our rail network is mainly developed in queensland, nsw and victoria

but cities like darwin and perth do have connections to the east

but elsewhere in western australia, south australia and the north territory, it's not viable

have you heard of our road trains

they're bloody massive

and they haul across god awful terrain

both are viable in certain circuumstances

but overhead is typically more viable

but third rail does have its place

[tired glade]

I saw video,it way worse than people talk about it

[short iron]

There not some world energy crisis thing going on?

[full fossil]

operating speed of third rail is far lower

[tired glade]

More resources crysis than energy now

[full fossil]

750 volts for third rail

[hoary furnace]

you can tell you're around gamers when you spell it crysis

[full fossil]

25,000 volts for overhead

[pine lava]

$20 to anyone who knows how to solve my issue in tech support 😂 thanks.

[sonic barn]

my guy offering to pay

[full fossil]

it's only 20 bucks

not like he's offering his daughter

[pine lava]

Yeah it’s not a lot considering I’ve spent 20 hours trying to fix it

[sonic barn]

2$ with inflation

[full fossil]

why of course

the money inflated to a lower value

mention iq around me and i get feral

[sonic barn]

subway costs 15$ cad for a small sub

[full fossil]

FIFTEEN?

[sonic barn]

yes

[full fossil]

too bad it gets a bad wrap

[sonic barn]

mcdonalds is the only cheap option rn

diabetus

[hoary furnace]

hm, should i order a maccas

[full fossil]

exactly, despite the safety of them

[short iron]

I just figured screw em and went solar last year. But yeah, Fiber needs electricity also. 😄

[full fossil]

chernobyl spreads fud about nuclear power?

yeah i know, i disagree with you

[short iron]

Birds?

[full fossil]

the tv show has done absolutely nothing to damage the reputation of nuclear

a piss in the rain if you will

[short iron]

Ahh, well, lets hope it gets better.

[full fossil]

me waiting for fusion to be a viable source of power in 70 years

still, a great step forward

[mystic ivy]

Stadia is shutting down

[tired glade]

No one really cares

[full fossil]

i have seen the graphs

[tired glade]

We know it's failed for long time

[full fossil]

like i said, a piss in the rain

[mystic ivy]

Yep

[short iron]

Also, it's better for the environment to use current panels. If we all stop buying panels now, they will probably get recycled and cause more damage?

And could possibly put less strain on electric grids, aka positive for the environment. 😛

[sonic barn]

nuclear is way more efficient and produces more power than solar

[short iron]

Not if you have 1 or 2 11kw/h batteries

Yeah

[sonic barn]

lithium batteries don't offset carbon

you create way more toxins than solely using gasoline

https://www.industryweek.com/technology-and-iiot/article/22026518/lithium-batteries-dirty-secret-manufacturing-them-leaves-massive-carbon-footprint

there's new tech in development for batteries for 2025 though

[hollow citrus]

i just moved and got my internet installed. 1 gigabit is pretty fast

[sonic barn]

clean energy != renewable energy

you have to replace components

nuclear is the same thing, except waste is stored

and its a lot less

china is the closest for a fusion solution

[sleek venture]

Fusion produces nuclear waste

[sonic barn]

fission

[sleek venture]

the walls of the reactor have finite lifspans

and are highly radioactive when replaced

[sonic barn]

also nuclear waste can be reused, its like 90 something percent that's able to be reused

[sleek venture]

yes but it won't

[sonic barn]

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3192435/chinas-top-weapons-scientist-says-nuclear-fusion-power-6-years

[sleek venture]

because no governments trust each other not to be naughty boys

[sonic barn]

they have 150 reactors planned to be built over the coming years

[quaint knoll]

Hey guys i just got into the windows insider program and the build well it makes games stutter a lot with my 3060 so i rollled back the update and now all games just keep crashing instantly after i load in . I have used Ddu and reinstalled all drivers of my system including chiset , used different ram configurations but nothing seems to work and games like valorant and forza horizon 5 keep crashing. I need help , any suggestions?

[sonic barn]

well fission can be, its just that there is leaks during the process

[tribal compass]

Is your ram overclocked?

[quaint knoll]

No

[sleek venture]

the problem isn't the leaks

[quaint knoll]

It isnt, i just use Xmp

[sonic barn]

could also be targeted by terrorist groups

[sleek venture]

it's that no one want's anyone else making huge amounts of highly refined nuclear fuel

[sonic barn]

uranium is cheap

[quaint knoll]

Wait there is a tech support i type there

[unkempt coral]

nuclear fuel is the future

[sleek venture]

that's why breeder reactors aren't used in all power plants

[sonic barn]

would be cool if we can store a nuclear reaction inside a battery

[sleek venture]

No thanks

[sonic barn]

don't most companies rely on russia for rods

electric nuclear companies

I know russia has a lot of production for rods

but idk if most companies rely on them

yeah and there's not a lot of development here yet. Still uranium is insanely cheap and you can make radioactive isotopes

independent from russia

so I guess its not russia lol

canada we're basically a resource mine

all we serve on the map, otherwise we're basically like the usa

(minus socialistic views)

[gaunt hawk]

Guys i found a 500USD rx 6900 xt

Worth it?

[sonic barn]

avg on ebay is 570

[short iron]

Waste power goes into the grid, I get paid for it also, not much, but it's something.

[gaunt hawk]

WUT

[sonic barn]

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=rx+6900+xt&_sacat=0&_sop=15

solar isn't viable more than 10 yrs imo

panels are supposed to be replaced

its worse here since we get like 5m of snow each winter

[short iron]

Panels last what, 15 years?

Why it goes back into the grid

[sonic barn]

in lithium batteries

[sonic barn]

you can also do that and get paid but its small

[sleek venture]

the grid doesn't need it is the problem

[fathom widget]

there is a lot of research and progress within that research on batteries right now. So we will see in a few years what is available.

[sonic barn]

thats why its low for payments back to grid

[short iron]

Maybe yours doesn't, ours do lol.

[sonic barn]

https://electrek.co/2022/07/14/sodium-ion-battery-breakthrough/

that'll be better than mining lithium

less environment problems

[sleek venture]

if everyone had solar 90% of the power would be generated during the day when people aren't home to use it.

[short iron]

Not arguing against nuclear btw, i'm just saying that's a long term solution, not a now solution.

[sleek venture]

and then everyone gets home and there is a demand spike with no solar to serve it

[sonic barn]

nuclear does not need cycles

[sleek venture]

i wasn't talking about nuclear

[sonic barn]

all the reactors had problems due to human error

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_disaster
except some like this

tsunami triggered the reactor problems

but now there's fail safes to stop that

[short iron]

You know grids store energy right?

[sonic barn]

yeah

[sleek venture]

it doesn't

that's the problem

[short iron]

Does your grid not have reserve storage?

[sleek venture]

it just sells it to someone and ramps down power plants where possible

[sonic barn]

reminds me of those posts on reddit for the hurricane where their bosses ask them to go to work with their kids

[short iron]

Oh dang

[sleek venture]

almost no power grids have any significant energy storage

[sonic barn]

like bruh its 3 days and u risk dying for x per hour

[sonic barn]

our batteries suck

[sleek venture]

which is why germanys green energy efforts have been a disaster

along with nuclear fearmongering

[short iron]

We have reserve storage for like a day and a half.

[sonic barn]

eu declared natural gas a clean energy, germany uses coal for 50% of power still. Its a mess

[short iron]

yeah

[sonic barn]

They extended the life of their nuclear reactors though which is good

[sleek venture]

is that storage in batteries or fuel?

[short iron]

That's a combination of batteries and diesel.

[sleek venture]

yes well diesel is not storage lol

[sonic barn]

nasa legit has studies on methane being the biggest contributor to climate change and yet the eu says they are green for using natural gas and coal still

[sleek venture]

most coal plants have a few days worth of coal in "storage" if you're counting that

[sonic barn]

for context nat gas is mainly products derived from methane in crude and such

that's steam

water is used to cool them

[sleek venture]

yes well if you burn the methane that's beneficial to the climate

[sonic barn]

https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/nuclear-101-how-does-nuclear-reactor-work

[sleek venture]

because you turn it into co2 instead

[sonic barn]

thought you were serious

nvm I read it wrong

thought you meant nuclear power steam putting stuff in the air

its basically rain

because it turns to rain

nuclear power would've never killed us

even if we had a ton of waste, we would've had space x or something launch them off into space past our orbit

[junior mason]

Can anyone help, would like to know safe vddsoc voltage for 3900x

[short iron]

You also get hydroelectricity. So the electricity generated in the day can pump water uphill. But not sure how much electricity that can produce, and if enough for the whole evening.

[sonic barn]

my province operates off 99% hydro

[short iron]

Nice

[sonic barn]

chernobyl was caused by a human error during the test

qc

[sleek venture]

yes but I don't know if any country has significant pumped storage

[sonic barn]

I'm leaving this place when I get my degree thing

well it still causes health risks but burning coal will cause cancer as well

there's reasons why studies aren't public a lot

[upbeat ridge]

Proper multitasking installing windows

[sonic barn]

the industry is hundreds of years old and studies are not so mainstream

its mostly in their governments

our air outside is mainly nitrogen and not a lot of oxygen

[upbeat ridge]

Linux didn’t work at all

Neither does windows tho, wtf

[short iron]

Bios settings?

[upbeat ridge]

I have no clue

I’m just convinced Intel NUC hates me

[sonic barn]

recommendation for all linux installs, keep synaptics instead of libinput for mouse and trackpad so u can get global smooth scrolling

[short iron]

Just do factory defaults on bios and try either OS again?

[sonic barn]

basically mobile scrolling

[full fossil]

plural, humans

[upbeat ridge]

Hmm this is a good one

Why

[fair stream]

Latest video was super cute

[sonic barn]

bruh

[upbeat ridge]

I know Ubuntu cuz raspberry pi lmao

[full fossil]

factual

[sonic barn]

I use kde neon

[full fossil]

linux in general is kind of....

[upbeat ridge]

Ah but I use Xubuntu

[short iron]

Yessss 🙂

[upbeat ridge]

Still uses most of the same commands and stuff

[upbeat ridge]

*tried

[sonic barn]

better than windows for everything normal

[upbeat ridge]

Also tried SteamOS, Manjaro, Mint and now windows

[full fossil]

i was joking

i prefer windows to linux overall though

[upbeat ridge]

If you get it working, it is great

[sonic barn]

mint is awful, had a ton of issues with my installs back in 2018

[short iron]

Also for old hardware. Could not get puppy to play a 720P youtube vid on a old laptop, worked great on KDE Neon.

[upbeat ridge]

I can’t get that on this specific installation

[full fossil]

just because of the application support

[median idol]

Ah manjaro..... Yeah I've not had good experiences with manjaro. It did not like my setup

[full fossil]

i hate having to wrangle emulators and wine and having to cope with applications not having linux versions, etc, etc.

[upbeat ridge]

Manjaro doesn’t even have the live environment work, Xubuntu got that at least

[full fossil]

and i don't hate windows enough to not use it

[upbeat ridge]

Windows does seem to work now?

[sonic barn]

you can also use vlc to playback videos if they don't work

[upbeat ridge]

Idk imma see

[sonic barn]

and there's stremio

[short iron]

Love stremio.

[full fossil]

i hate the wine acronym for linux

'wine is not an emulator' you cant just put your own acronym IN your acronym

[upbeat ridge]

Okay no it doesn’t work

[sonic barn]

same, even if u don't do the 🏴‍☠️, it ties all the platforms together

its open sourced as well

[short iron]

Wait, what happens again if you try to install windows?

[upbeat ridge]

Well only SteamOS semi worked, but remote play didn’t

[harsh lodge]

@manic torrentyeah I just reset the cmos battery, I think the bios messed up because I shut down the system by just holding the power button.

[median idol]

I'll probably just use windows through a VM TBH if there's a game or program that refuses to work on Linux

[sonic barn]

you can reinstall steam os

[full fossil]

too much trouble for what its worth in my opinion

[upbeat ridge]

It says “go reboot” and then restarts the OS

[full fossil]

windows does what i need it do with very little trouble compared to linux

[upbeat ridge]

Well yes but it is a media consumption first, game streaming second device

[sonic barn]

https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download/?ver=steamdeck&snr

[full fossil]

most of linux's features i don't value enough to permanently switch to

[upbeat ridge]

Don’t want the steam deck version

[full fossil]

so i dual boot so i just use whatever im feeling

[sonic barn]

it has a desktop ui as well

[upbeat ridge]

The performance boost is a big plus ngl

[sonic barn]

nvm its arch

[upbeat ridge]

No but why the steam deck version if there is a literal normal SteamOS version

[full fossil]

i've been enjoying windows 11

its search function sucks ass but i cope

[sonic barn]

earlier versions of steam os were debian

[upbeat ridge]

Took the USB drive out and now it seems to be semi working

Been stuck at preparing tho

[full fossil]

even if windows 11 is a bit meh, i lose too much if i switch to linux alone

it has a lot of nice things but so does windows

[sonic barn]

2 keyboards

[upbeat ridge]

Also there are now two windows installs on this drive

[full fossil]

which is why i dual boot

[upbeat ridge]

3 if you look closely

[sonic barn]

where's the third

[short iron]

What is Android based on again? If a recall, it's a distro on it's own?

[full fossil]

shelved away

[upbeat ridge]

Still need to buy a KVM, but one is temporary

[sonic barn]

bruh its gone

[full fossil]

its there

[sonic barn]

I'm blind

[full fossil]

it uses modified linux kernel and other open source stuff according to wikipedia

[median idol]

Yh I'll pass through a GPU and give it to the Windows VM and Linux a happy 50:50 real estate for core/threads and ram. Sort of inspired by Muta (Someordinarygamers)

[upbeat ridge]

But yeah, three PC’s so three keyboards

[full fossil]

COMPUTER ON CARPET!!! 😡

[upbeat ridge]

The wireless set and the nuc will move tho

[upbeat ridge]

Yes it’s temporary

[short iron]

@upbeat ridgebut yeah, try a Android OS. 😁

[full fossil]

good...

[upbeat ridge]

Although I might make it permanent, would need a small piece of wood

[full fossil]

and/or longer legs

[short iron]

Well, there are a few.

[sonic barn]

android is arm though you can emulate it on linux

[upbeat ridge]

There is space there

[full fossil]

not much space

[short iron]

You get a couple of Android projects that are 64bit.

[full fossil]

and considering its on carpet, if you have intake there, that's begging for dust

[sonic barn]

just lick it off

[sonic barn]

mental outlaw isn't a good person

paranoid and promotes crimes

Yeeeah I don't deny that, but at least the Gentoo shitpost was amusing

[upbeat ridge]

Now the scary part

It's not the right formula

Feet and inches

That's 5.64 feet

Rather than 5'8

[vapid smelt]

?

[sonic barn]

https://www.inchcalculator.com/convert/foot-to-centimeter/

[sonic barn]

its going off the entire foot

5.64 is a leading decimal if you wanna look at it like that

[karmic wadi]

Hi

[sonic barn]

.64 of a foot

[karmic wadi]

Does all Linux PC charger indipendent? Cuz Mine charger indipendent.

[sonic barn]

formula is

foot = 8in / 12 = 1/3
foot = foot + 5
foot * 30.48 = 172cm

[dull violet]

Curious will a 2400mhz 4gb ram stick word with a 3200mhz 8gb stick from a different brand?

I don't really care if it gets bottle necked I just need to know for my pc

[vapid smelt]

172cm is 67.71 inches 67.71 divided by 12 is 5.64

[vapid smelt]

yes they would both run at 2400mhz

[dull violet]

Ok I'm ok with that

For me I don't mind bottle necks that much

[sonic barn]

I'm 69 inches

or 68

[dull violet]

I probably would not notice it being 3200mhz anyways

Im getting a really good deal for a ram stick

[vapid smelt]

nvm

[dull violet]

15 dollars for 8 GB 3200mhz

Seller said they are selling it cheap. Because they had it up for a really long time and it would not sell

Only thing I'm woried about is the stick being a usb killer type thing and destroying my computer

[forest nest]

Short Circuit just took down one of their videos as I was watching it lol

The recent one of the smart wedding band

[vapid smelt]

Pulled out a cm and inch ruler you were right 5'8

[sonic barn]

yeah imperial is weird

I just say stuff in cm now

[gilded quest]

I love the effort for this

[near nebula]

what the... grabs measuring cable ours does both CMs and inches, with breakpoints where in multiples of 12 it becomes Feet

[vapid smelt]

google lied to me

[gilded quest]

Google would never

[vocal lance]

anyone here good at setup designing

or room designing

[limpid glacier]

Hello everyone

[idle skiff]

howdy

[fossil geode]

just called amazon they said its stuck in mf florida

time to get a waterlogged 5600x

[polar fern]

Wheres is the origin facility?

[fossil geode]

orlando

[polar fern]

Ok.

[grizzled terrace]

Google Stadia is shutting down in 2023 lmao

[polar fern]

@fossil geode MCO1?

[fossil geode]

i believe so

i bought it on the 27th with next day shipping bruh

[polar fern]

Let me do a few minutes of digging and I’ll get back to you and see if the facility was affected

It looks like the entirety of their operations around Orlando been shut and won’t reopen until at least Friday midday at some point when they are given the all clear by FEMA.

The roads in the area are mostly open and I don’t see any roads directly adjacent to any of their logistics facilities being closed or unoccupied

Usually if a road has no traffic data it means that there have not been any cars across that section in at least one hour.

I learned earlier that someone who works with my girlfriend was actually on vacation in Naples - the city which was demolished by Ian’s landfall.

[fossil geode]

[cyan pike]

react if you hate sudden bsods

[polar fern]

@fossil geode well if it really is at MCO1 it’s probably fine.

[near nebula]

I have noticed an Android OS usable on PCs, RemixOS?

yeah, just checked, 2017

Looks like it's Samsung Dex then 😬

there was also SteamOS, but the one they used for SteamDeck isn't available

so yeah hard to tell... maybe ChromeOS?

hmm, yeah it's not downloadable, what the- why is it so hard to get an Android OS without virtualising it like Bluestacks?!!

yeah Chrome OS Flex was my next guess

There is a home version you can download and install

so there we go, found one at least

[polar fern]

Because they’re primarily structured to run on mobile devices.

[fossil geode]

bro what, Delayed not yet shipped ,We will email you as soon as this order ships. You won't be charged until then. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

the money has been out of my account for 2 days

[near nebula]

@polar fern true, or specific laptops with it installed, unless Flex which doesn't have updates as frequently as the official Chromebook laptops

... "Chromium OS"?? is that a potential amber-flag?

also it was moreso a thing to help out @pale folio with, was just looking around for the user

[polar fern]

The facility is closed till at least tomorrow like no one is there. Usually it’s a 24 hour 3 shift operation.

I’m contacting some sources to see what the situation is.

[near nebula]

hm, well interesting late-night browse for the night regarding Chrome(ium) alternatives...

[polar fern]

I’m sure many people are curious about Amazon operations waiting orders etc.

So according to my sources employees are not allowed to access the facility until local emergency management people including fire department have checked the building for safety including gas and structural integrity etc. that will not happen until sometime tomorrow.

According to my sources this is true of all of the Amazon facilities through the storm path across Florida.

[near nebula]

yeah Florida got pretty really bad by the recent hurricane, and some places got demolished or badly-damaged

[polar fern]

So tomorrow is the first day that the facility would be able to reopen but given the large amount of public safety concerns ongoing at the moment may be up to a week until the facility is actually receiving new items to ship out

[near nebula]

that's unfortunate, I also see most of Florida's outland got badly-flooded according to news reports

[polar fern]

Looks like the Orlando facilities may have gotten some flooding depending on the specific location

[near nebula]

Apparently the storm isn't done, it's heading northwards from FL and might hit more states before it subsides

[fossil geode]

Yea it's going to hit sc pretty hard

We are expecting 70mph winds and over a foot of rain all the way in duncan sc

[runic wave]

Hey guys, quick question. Which is better to pursue, Network + or CCNA?

[polar fern]

Obviously the ones around the landfall area like RSW1 & RSW5 may have been destroyed by the storm.

[near nebula]

I heard harbors around Western-FL have been leveled and destroyed

horrible fate to have...

[gilded quest]

Makes me feel very fortunate to have lived places without natural disasters

[hollow pulsar]

I'm a natural disaster.

[near nebula]

and yet it's a yearly occurence, hitting different areas in the eastern-coasts of the US (maybe south as well as that isn't free from it)

[polar fern]

Really depends exactly where. The area of landfall of the eye yeah probably in pretty bad shape outside of that I don’t think there’s a lot of damage especially up north of Tampa. The winds up that way were actually blowing out to sea

[gilded quest]

It's crazy how much more rain the eastern seaboard gets than the west coast

[near nebula]

well fingers crossed SC doesn't have as much devastation as NO (a few years ago) and FL-West has had

[polar fern]

Back in 2005 I actually was on a video call with an acquaintance of mine who lives in Fort Lauderdale as hurricane Katrina crossed over Florida.

It was a category 1 at that time.

[near nebula]

what's the most devastating Cat(egory), it's 5 sometimes, right?

[polar fern]

Yeah I think the major concern now is how much stronger the system gets as it goes over the extremely warm Gulf Stream

[near nebula]

oh and that would cause some severe thunderstorms in its wake as well 💦

[polar fern]

Yeah category 5 storm typically don’t make landfall that often onto the continent itself because the water near the coast is actually too shallow to hold the amount of heat energy needed to sustain that intensity

[gilded quest]

Yeah Cat 5. But categories just refer to wind speeds. Harvey was only a cat 3 or 4 but sat and dumped trillions of gallons of rain

[polar fern]

Up in my area we often get hurricane and tropical storm remnants. Usually 2 to 4 days after it impacts down south

[near nebula]

we do oft get flooding and gale force winds, but hardly tornadoes in the UK

if it does happen, they're normally pretty weak in comparison

[gilded quest]

Most of the worlds tornados occur in a narrow stretch of NA

[near nebula]

but can cause significant natural damage and can cause fatalities, though buildings are extremely resilient to that force

[polar fern]

Yeah the British Isles are a bit of an outlier because they are in the middle of an ocean current basically which can result in very heavy rains if the circumstances are just right

you have the tail end of the Gulf stream dumping heat and moisture up into a cold area

So obviously that’s going to result in more frequent precipitation and rough weather at least out to sea

[near nebula]

mhmm

and like I said it's an extreme rarity if the weather is pushing you away - or towards a said tornado, if one does occur

[idle skiff]

whats a dece cpu for a family pc? their current prebuild from ages ago has a i5 6500, i was looking at the 10400 to keep it on the cheap side, $128, probabyl going to be a microatx build

[polar fern]

That’s one of the reasons why Scotland and Ireland are so green just constant moisture.

[idle skiff]

no gaming or anyhting just a "fast pc with good storage"

[near nebula]

and most of the England mainlands, give or take some dry summer seasons (we had some really bad heatwaves this year, with 42 degrees or around 108F)

[polar fern]

You definitely want a processor that will never give you up

And storage that will never let you down

[fluid ridge]

a gpu that wont desert you

[polar fern]

Mhm

[idle skiff]

their current one makes me cry

and im saying goodbye

[polar fern]

So you want a new build that won’t run around

[near nebula]

and Intel's let you down, and AMD hurts you

[idle skiff]

true true

thanks for the insight

[near nebula]

back to the subject in hand, 10400 might be a decent basic processor

[idle skiff]

i think ill go with a i9 12 and a 3090 ti with custom waterloop thank u

[fluid ridge]

bad choice

ryzen 7000 and 13th gen exists
