[full fossil]

I actually have no idea, i havent checked because I'm not likely to get a 3080

[sick glen]

Oh ok

They've fallen in price

I believe $800 in us

Correct me if I'm wrong

Okay GTG to sleep

Good night :)

God I hope they do Quest VR link cables when the lab opens there is too many scams

[vapid smelt]

just buy cables from todays sponsor! Anker!

[whole lake]

Anker doesn't sell a 20 foot

I used anker for everything else lmao

but they don't sell long enough cables

[manic torrent]

20 feet is a bloody long cable. There's a reason they don't sell one

https://www.amazon.com.au/Meta-Quest-301-00311-01-Link-Cable

Its not long enough, I need a 30 foot to take full advantage of my space

[manic torrent]

I'd be looking at moving the PC tbh

yeah 20ft is doable though 🙂

[cyan vapor]

@tender glade I hang around on #tech-support quite a bit, but some of the questions these days are about phones, so I'm thinking, should we have two more channels for android and iphone issues and keep tech-support for the pc crowd? Something to think about.

[white radish]

cause i changed my iphone battery and now the cell service isnt working

[stuck stratus]

you don't "repair" devices, you just buy a new one

smh

[white radish]

yea i might just trade in this iphone for a oneplus

even worse a huawei

[stuck stratus]

ngl oneplus is supposed to have a lot of issues in their OS lately

they went the way of the oppo

[whole lake]

Just go to rossmans discord for phone repairs lol, unless its just for genreal tech support of phones

Is thermal paste edible

or could we make edible thermal paste

[night heron]

yeah just use mayonnaise

[white radish]

butter

[opal pond]

salt

[near nebula]

... pepper??

[whole lake]

Google said
I wouldn't recommend eating it but even the entire tube of thermal paste likely won't have any adverse effects on you. The components normally used in thermal gels are not all that toxic, the worst likely being gallium and Aluminum, which is considered to have a low toxicity level. Thermal gels can contain Silver, aluminum, Phase Change Metal Alloy, carbon based compounds, silicon, and then none metal compounds, only the most costly products contain gallium. They do not use lead or mercury which are two of the most toxic common metals on the market that have been used in computer production over the years.

so uhh, YOLO

[elfin python]

Do most people need 5.1 surround sound or is stereo good enough

[ivory wolf]

Yeah

[gilded quest]

stereo is good enough

granted I just use headphones 99% of the time

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-7Q05Rn6Rc

[manic torrent]

I have 5.1 proper audio on my PC, but it depends how you like it

[elfin python]

That’s nice

This year is my first time trying 2.1 stereo sound that isn’t crappy TV speakers or headphones

And I like it
It’s the creative pebble plus

But I did remember seeing the creative T60 or T100 at a local shop, they looked very nice too

[gilded quest]

atmos for home theatre

[finite cloud]

Stereo is more than enough. Surround is more of a fun gimmick

[limber fractal]

can you share Nintendo games with like a family group kinda like other platforms

[manic torrent]

... it really isn't.

[finite cloud]

You got 5 speakers and a subwoofer?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIYvPNtWZ34 kinda

[manic torrent]

yes, through a receiver, using hdmi

[finite cloud]

Nice

[limber fractal]

i dont want it on stream deck

[finite cloud]

Why not?

[limber fractal]

but like know how google play lets you share apps in a google family

can you do the same with nintendo

[elfin python]

I don’t really want to wear headphones now…. I handle them rough and they would break in a year

[manic torrent]

I mean it's incremental don't get me wrong, but it can be amazing.

[elfin python]

Meanwhile I get better bass and clearer sound with standalone speakers and a subwoofer

[vapid smelt]

you think Nintendo is nice and would allow you to do that?

[finite cloud]

I agree it’s pretty cool to listen to but it’s not necessary which is what that guy was asking

[limber fractal]

so my friend would have to give me his account

[elfin python]

True

[limber fractal]

but i would still be able to play from my account right

[manic torrent]

"necessary" 😛 of course not

[elfin python]

Most gamers only need stereo

[manic torrent]

there are many things you can do with a PC 😛

[elfin python]

And I’m not the type to watch movies anyway…. So… maybe there isn’t much benefit for me personally to have surround sound

[elfin python]

Of course

[manic torrent]

surround sound can make the immersion in a game amazing - but it also depends on your space, etc. I have my office in the garage, so when it's all dark, and I'm using surround and the 48" OLED, it's awesome.

I also have a button on my streamdeck to change from 2->5.1 upscaling to 5.1 straight through.

[elfin python]

I have a small bedroom who I share with someone and I don’t exactly have space to put more speakers…

What about soundbars though

[manic torrent]

I have a midi controller I use to control the volume on voicemeeter, I just need to setup one to seperately adjust the sub level on the reciever using the network API

[hexed oracle]

Anyone familiar w how loud a pc should be running?

[manic torrent]

entirely depends on the fan curves and setup.

[elfin python]

Hmmm, outside the case?

I don’t expect it to be louder than a floor fan for me

[hexed oracle]

Inside. I’ll take a video and see if it’s something I should be worried about.

[elfin python]

Because as long as it’s softer than a floor fan I wouldn’t be bothered

[hexed oracle]

I’m new to pc and just built this like 3 months ago so I get nervous about the little stuff😂

But it does sound kind of loud to me

I have been interested in vhs lately

[manic torrent]

VHS is best forgotten

It was absolutely needed for the time, but like audio tapes, it has nothing compelling to keep it around.

[hexed oracle]

@manic torrent are you familiar with adjusting fan speeds to lower noise say high, but not too high when I’m gaming and low for when I’m idle, but no to where it messes up temp properties?

[manic torrent]

Yes, I use speedfan.

Hello I have important questions

[manic torrent]

how do you know?

[sonic spruce]

You know how Linus used to work at a place called ncix?

[manic torrent]

wow, really?

[sonic spruce]

Yeah, are there other places like ncix where a computer engineer can get hired

?

Or is it a dying major?

[manic torrent]

That's certainly an important question there.

I mean, I don't think computer engineers worked at NCIX.

[sonic spruce]

Ok IT technicians make like no money

[manic torrent]

correct.

[sonic spruce]

What computer engineering jobs make good money?

And where?

[manic torrent]

"Computer engineering" is suuuuper vague though. There's a lot of different jobs and a lot of variation in money depending on skills, marketing, location, etc.

[sonic spruce]

Preferably hardware

I can code tho

[past egret]

i searched computer engineering jobs near me and google and nvidia popped up

pixel development

nvidia embedded software dev

google camera development

[fluid ridge]

google has offices literally everywhere

not much of a surprise

[full fossil]

yeah, but I'm glad it didn't work out for me with google.

yes, but lipstick on a pig doesn't change the nature of the pig

[full fossil]

[sonic spruce]

So what’s a good high paying job a person can get with a bachelor’s in computer engineering or science ?

[fluid ridge]

that is true

[manic torrent]

you're still a wage slave like any other

[sonic spruce]

Cuz IT doesn’t pay shit

[fluid ridge]

well it's more like you're riding on a mansion thats built on the back of a giant pig

you dont feel like you're on a pig because you work in absolute god tier working conditions

[manic torrent]

I'm a Solution Architect.

[sonic spruce]

[manic torrent]

yeah nah. I work from home.

[sonic spruce]

What does a solution architect do?

[manic torrent]

.... if you can't google words you don't know, you'll get eaten alive in IT

[fluid ridge]

pentesting, software development/engineering, training neural networks, just to name a few

there are thousands

[past egret]

he basically thinks for people in IT

[sonic spruce]

Is solutions architect easy or hard?

[past egret]

depends ig

[sonic spruce]

Wdym?

[sonic spruce]

Fair enough

[manic torrent]

Most people can't do what I do.

[sonic spruce]

Which is?

[manic torrent]

Being a solution architect.

[fluid ridge]

solution architect

[past egret]

lol

[fluid ridge]

"A solutions architect creates the overall technical vision for a specific solution to a business problem"

[manic torrent]

I look at problems and I can see them in context, and understand the interaction and complexity of dynamic multi layer systems. I can then use that to define solutions and solve problems.

[sonic spruce]

Problems in generals or in computers?

Hardware level or software?

[manic torrent]

yes

[sonic spruce]

Yes general or computer?

[fluid ridge]

do you solve the problems or are you like building architects - draw a bunch of shit on a piece of paper and let the engineers do the work

[sonic spruce]

What?

[manic torrent]

depends on the project. Sometimes I draw stuff and be done with it, other times I do the entire project, front to back. Hardware specs, procurement, design, coding, implementation, management.

[sonic spruce]

Oh

[fluid ridge]

ah

[sonic spruce]

Do you have know how to hack to be a pentester?

[fluid ridge]

that is very impressive, for sure not everyone can do what you do

[sonic spruce]

^

[manic torrent]

Honestly.... kek, most of them don't know shit 😉

[fluid ridge]

if you're serious about this discord probably isnt your answer

im pretty sure pentesters use prebuilt tools and software anyways

[sonic spruce]

I’ll be a pentester then

[manic torrent]

If you want to be a faceless idiot pentester.. not really

If you want to be an ACTUAL red team pentester rock star, you might have to actually understand things

[sonic spruce]

Well idk, all the classes I’ve taken for my major haven’t taught me anything

Idc about a big company

Or being famous
Just big paycheck

[fluid ridge]

you could train neural networks too

zero coding knowledge required 😎

[pliant viper]

just thinking about the money isn't gonna make you better at it

[sonic spruce]

Fair

I need a job that pays 100k a year tho cuz California

[fluid ridge]

i chose my major based on the size of paycheque from my salary research

[sonic spruce]

^

[vapid smelt]

or just leave cali

[pliant viper]

oof yeah i agree, its expensive over dere

[sonic spruce]

I want to, but my parents will get mad af

[vapid smelt]

highest taxed state

[sonic spruce]

Ikr

[mossy terrace]

comes with some benefits

[fluid ridge]

the worst thing about california isnt even the taxes

[sonic spruce]

I looked up neural network, but idk what it is

[fluid ridge]

it's the people

[sonic spruce]

It’s how ghetto it is

[vapid smelt]

and yall take our water! @sonic spruce

[sonic spruce]

Oh also the people

[sonic spruce]

Sorry Colorado

[fluid ridge]

[vapid smelt]

utah here

[fluid ridge]

machine learning algorithms

[mossy terrace]

i feel as if the people is a huge overgeneralization

[sonic spruce]

Oh my bad, idk

[mossy terrace]

there's 40 million

[sonic spruce]

How would one work with neural networks?

[fluid ridge]

visiting los angeles is a get-stabbed-with-a-used-needle-speedrun any %

[mossy terrace]

la sucks

[fluid ridge]

https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/neural-networks

[sonic spruce]

Not really, but yeah

Ok so then what should I do after I graduate

[fluid ridge]

there is a lot of math that goes into neural networking though

[sonic spruce]

I’m good with computer hardware and fixing computer problems

[fluid ridge]

like a lot of hard math

[sonic spruce]

Also c++ coding and math

[fluid ridge]

the type of math where letters somehow outnumber the numbers

[sonic spruce]

Calculus 2?

[mossy terrace]

what numbers

[fluid ridge]

∑wixi + bias = w1x1 + w2x2 + w3x3 + bias

i just took this off of the link i sent

[sonic spruce]

I’ve never see that before

[fluid ridge]

output = f(x) = 1 if ∑w1x1 + b>= 0; 0 if ∑w1x1 + b < 0

[sonic spruce]

I’ve seen that before

Ok so then

[past egret]

i was pretty good at calculus until i left school and then i forgor all bout it

[fluid ridge]

you want a job you can realistically find, and make 80k-100k a year just be a software engineer at FAANG

microsoft is left out but that is an option too

[past egret]

just work in china

plenty of coding jobs

[vapid smelt]

If you make $100,000 a year living in the region of California, USA, you will be taxed $24,822. Your average tax rate is 15.01% and your marginal tax rate is 24%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.

[fluid ridge]

• 10 trillion social credit points

[sonic spruce]

So I’ll be making 75k income?

[vapid smelt]

yup

[pulsar violet]

No explanation…

[fluid ridge]

assuming he finds a job paying 100k

[pulsar violet]

Are lens protectors worth it?

[fluid ridge]

but realistically if you want low taxes you need to move to one of the freedom states

[vapid smelt]

can survive a bullet getting dropped on it

[fluid ridge]

texas and florida come to mind

[sonic spruce]

Can’t

[velvet marsh]

No state income tax in Texas

[pulsar violet]

Yup got the casing on it as well, you know they are legit

[ripe patrol]

😂 I think I need this 😉 my poor camera lenses take a beating...

[fluid ridge]

chad texas

[velvet marsh]

My gf already broke her 14 pro

[vapid smelt]

no case?

[pulsar violet]

But fr would this sort of thing hinder with camera quality such as cause distortion or anything?

[fluid ridge]

???

[velvet marsh]

In a case

[fluid ridge]

no a lens protector is not worth it

[pulsar violet]

Alright

[fluid ridge]

apple's lens glass is already sapphire treated iirc

[vapid smelt]

"sapphire"

[fluid ridge]

this is impressive

[pulsar violet]

Yea I’m more for it cause I’m lazy and can’t stand my camera lens not being clean

[ripe patrol]

heh; i end up buying bulk replacements.

[velvet marsh]

Most of the inner optics on the iPhone are plastic

[fluid ridge]

but you would just have a dirty lens cover

if the wrap on your car is dirty, it doesnt mean much that the paint underneath is flawless

[vapid smelt]

[fluid ridge]

jerryrigeverything is unreliable

[pulsar violet]

Yea that’s true but it’s one solid piece in which you just wipe and your golden cause I hate when the oleophobic coating wears off and leaves smudges

So what’s a good job high paying job a person can get with a degree in computer programming or engineering?

Since most people here have that degree

[white radish]

If you’re migrating from one operating system to another what you should actually do if possible is have both of the hard drives internal so you can migrate over more seamlessly.

[hollow zealot]

I'm just scared because my user folder is about 50 GB
But it doesn't have any games or game libraries in it

[hollow zealot]

I'm planning on chucking this drive into my desktop and dumping it into a larger internal hdd specifically meant for backups

Windows told me I had the option of using OneDrive to do so or an external drive

Ubuntu will be a completely fresh install

[polar fern]

why not just use a large thumb drive and transfer everything onto that?

[finite cloud]

[hollow zealot]

🌶️

[polar fern]

Yeah they just can’t figure out a way to not be greedy I guess

Already we have these inane repetitive ads literally the same ad on every single video

[hoary furnace]

i've had premium for a while tbh, but seems annoying

[tepid oar]

Annoying is an understatement

[hoary furnace]

premium is also overpriced

the only way we could justify it was a family acc split

[manic torrent]

ok well this is bullcrap. My arms hurt now.

[polar fern]

I can’t imagine paying Google more money when video views and ads are are what make or break a channel

[manic torrent]

But... my monitor is moved over 10cm

[manic torrent]

..... channels get more money if you have premium

[hoary furnace]

the main reason we got premium is a lot of our youtube viewing is done via a tv

[polar fern]

It’s one thing for a channel to monetise a video it’s another thing entirely for the host of the video to monetise it for themselves in a subscription model

[manic torrent]

Admittedly, I am on a grandfathered plan and mine is way cheaper

[manic torrent]

dude. THE CREATOR GETS A BIGGER PAY FROM YOUR VIEW IF YOU HAVE PREMIUM

[polar fern]

There is no world where I can justify paying Google money to watch videos that have been free since the beginning

Plus poor people like me can’t just be doling out subscriptions to every single service when they start to add different tiers

[manic torrent]

yeah I don't care about that - but your original argument was completely wrong

[polar fern]

It’s literally economic discrimination

[manic torrent]

just say "I'm poor" and move on

[manic torrent]

that's what capitalism is.

[polar fern]

No that’s what greed is there is a difference

Capitalism is simply a form of economy. greed is abusing the system for excessive personal gain

And I would add that if a company is ultra-profitable then they must not be running a very efficient operation.

Overcharging for things is considered in some circles to be unethical

Just telling it like it is

It’s kind of like cell phone company is charging you to buy a new device. Like I’m already buying a new device why are you also charging me to buy the device

[manic torrent]

it's not at all like that

I mean, don't get me wrong, the new prices for premium are crazy

[polar fern]

It’s just greed

[manic torrent]

but it's like having a free ad supported tier and a pay tier.

[hoary furnace]

They're not free to make or free to host

They were only free as an introductory offer

[woeful minnow]

If you want to support a creator, send them money

[manic torrent]

oh, absolutely - but the argument that premium takes money away from creators is bunk.

I mean, 10000% don't sub to a paid channel subscription, get your patreon or whatever on.

[hoary furnace]

YouTube does provide a service. Not always happy with that service, but is is typically reliable and high quality, and provides a service to the creator too

[manic torrent]

but you seem to be postulating that people who are paying for premium are being unethical

whereas what they are doing is ... living under capitalism, where no consumption is ethical.

[hoary furnace]

And 4k is a reasonable threshold really

[polar fern]

I stand by what I said. It’s economic discrimination. And no that’s not at all in the realm of my argument.

[manic torrent]

economic discrimination isn't a thing.

I mean it is, but... not like that.

the issue isn't this small thing. It is a fundamental and systemic problem with the entire ... everything

[polar fern]

In my opinion anyone paying for premium now should ditch that. Y’all hold power. Of course you’re not because you don’t wanna see ads. Now I can’t even watch YouTube on my TV anymore. Oh well.

[hoary furnace]

Tldr, you want us to boycott for your beliefs

[manic torrent]

not his beliefs. If he had more money he'd get premium

[polar fern]

No I wouldn’t oh my God

[manic torrent]

so it's NOT economic discrimination?

[polar fern]

I said earlier there is no world in which I would pay google to watch things that have been free from the beginning

[manic torrent]

they still ARE free.

[polar fern]

No they’re not they are behind the subscription barrier now

[manic torrent]

what is?

[hoary furnace]

What

[polar fern]

The 4K content

[manic torrent]

was there a change I missed? I mean, I wouldn't notice obviously

[woeful minnow]

4K is not paywalled

[hoary furnace]

You can not watch in 4k

[manic torrent]

ooooh 4k. Come on. You can't be serious

[hoary furnace]

They're trialling it

[woeful minnow]

That was a test

[manic torrent]

it's the 4K detail - not the CONTENT.

lets be honest, with the way most people consume content, they couldn't tell the difference between a high quality 1080p video and a 4k one.

[polar fern]

The television has to upscale - it only does 4K. I cannot watch upscaled 1080p content because it gives me a headache and makes my eyes hurt.

Therefore I cannot watch it

Therefore it may as well not exist

[stray apex]

complaining that a free service isn't good enough

Defending Google for milking its platform viewers out of every dollar they have is not a good look dude

[manic torrent]

dude, google is not a good company, and screw them

[woeful minnow]

They’re probably not going to do it

[polar fern]

It’s already happening

[manic torrent]

but this is not them hating on you, this is you with a VERY SPECIFIC issue.

[woeful minnow]

No that was a TRIAL

[hoary furnace]

YouTube will upscale

[manic torrent]

so will a chromecast, a laptop, and a zillion other things

we have the technology

[hoary furnace]

What sort of TV won't upscale

[woeful minnow]

Currently you can still watch videos in 4k or even 8k if you wish

[stray apex]

google does a lot of crappy things
youtube is really not one of them

[hoary furnace]

YouTube 4k isn't even that good

I'd rather they added some more audio channels

[manic torrent]

ehhh, youtube has crapped on a lot of people, but it's creators, not viewers

[manic torrent]

omfg, right?

[stray apex]

the reality is that youtube will always run on automated systems, and sometimes automated systems will be bad

[hoary furnace]

Everytime someone listens to the dolby atmos audio test video on YouTube makes me laugh

[polar fern]

Look .. just pretend for a second that my IQ is off the chart & I have to dumb down things I say for people to understand me on a day-to-day basis. This is economic discrimination specifically going to affect folks in lower income tiers. It’s also borderline predatory and they should be ashamed of themselves. Ever heard of the term bait and switch that’s basically what this is. It’s a crappy move by a company that has long since abandoned its morals. It’s insult on top of injury is my point.

[hoary furnace]

Hahahhahahhahahhhhahhhhahhhhahhahahhahhahahhahahahah

[manic torrent]

I'm not JUST talking about automated systems, there's a whole lot of dodge goin on

[manic torrent]

or, just imagine you're autistic and you're having an autistic meltdown - which for the record is fine, but you need to realise that.

[polar fern]

I am sincerely considering moving my content viewing to CuriosityStream and nebula and not bothering with Google platforms.

Wow.

[hoary furnace]

That may be a reasonable choice

[woeful minnow]

except they haven’t even done it yet

[manic torrent]

not allowing you to view youtube in 4k is "borderline predatory" and "bait and switch"

[short copper]

i think locking 4k content behind a paywall is scummy but this isnt a huge issue for lower income families and they have a lot more to worry about than not being able to watch 4k on youtube

[manic torrent]

Are you katniss everdene?

Because that's a long bow to draw.

[full fossil]

wait

[hoary furnace]

The first sentence in this has made my day. I never thought i'd actually come across someone like you.

[full fossil]

you cant watch 4k yt anymore?

[polar fern]

A lot of people with lower incomes or even median incomes there discriminated against proper housing often buy very expensive things in the residences things like TVs and drones and nice cars and shoes instead of having a nice house these people will be affected by this.

[full fossil]

if you dont pay?

[short copper]

you need premium to watch 4k content

[hoary furnace]

They're trialling 4k quality being a premium feature

[woeful minnow]

You still can

[full fossil]

Ok seriously I will go ReVanced now

[manic torrent]

hahaha, oh no, they are around.

[stray apex]

youtube is testing that rn
presumably if enough people buy premium then they'll implement it sitewide

[full fossil]

if this continues, promote the modding of YT. Make google desperate

[stray apex]

how would that help

[stray apex]

uhhh
you realize that if youtube costs them too much money
they'll just drop it

[hoary furnace]
