[sonic barn]

It's like saying you get fired from YouTube if banned

[stuck stratus]

that would definitely end well

[sonic barn]

If the guy has a police case and Roblox refuses to give up information to the police then yes

Roblox should be held accountable

[stuck stratus]

what

when has that ever come up?

[calm spindle]

Should be held accountable for information they do not possess?

[sonic barn]

The guy in the vid tried calling the police on them and Roblox refused to release the information to the police. Later he was contacted by the fbi

[stuck stratus]

roblox isn't legally allowed to collect and store information about a large chunk of their userbase

[tepid bolt]

If you get banned from YouTube and can no longer upload content for money and will not get paid how is it different from being fired.

[stuck stratus]

and because of right to erasure, anyone can request that roblox delete their user data

[calm spindle]

Iheuzio, please transfer this convo to a more appropriate channel, like #off-topic or #gaming

As mentioned in ghe channels description, it's meant to be used for things related go ltt or general chatting

Not talking about how you hate a big brand

[lilac sage]

he also hates amd

cool beans

M1 and M2 macs have amazing battery life

[hybrid shell]

macbooks last long

[calm spindle]

Better than my family laptop

[lilac sage]

the fact that the ARM macbook airs dont have a moving fan yet they perform really well is crazy

[calm spindle]

You mean air?

Oh, wait

Am dumb, forgot to read

[hybrid shell]

battery life.

I think he meant macbooks

[calm spindle]

You mean the Mac mini, iMac or Mac Studio and stuff like that?

Mac Mini has a compact design for a powerful cpu

iMac has a premium looking design that takes the cake nowadays

And the Mac Studio, well, it's just powerful

Then why did you even ask

[lilac sage]

he wants you to set up strawmen for him to knock down

[calm spindle]

Who cares about pp size then

[lilac sage]

a strawman is a concept where you create really easily disproven statements and then disprove them yourself

[calm spindle]

Because it's too tiny for you to take care of it yourself

[lilac sage]

or rather opinions

its like rigging ur own election

because your response is basically a put down

[calm spindle]

Am not a Apple fan boy either way

[lilac sage]

it actually isnt counter argumentative

the statement is just demeaning or detracting from the statement

in reality it doesnt matter what we say

every pro-Mac opinion will just be shot down anyway

unless we call you out on it

I think the Mac design for pcie slot retention is really cool

what argument is "dont care"

or "who cares"

[calm spindle]

If you don't care about a PCs size, then try fitting a ATX motherboard with the cooler still attached in your backpack

[lilac sage]

ye so that isnt really a subjective opinion

[calm spindle]

Cooling, airflow...

[lilac sage]

Pc size matters alot in portability

[hybrid shell]

^^

[lilac sage]

how many ppl can carry their desktop with them in a backpack?

[calm spindle]

And now you start caring about size

Then compare a 3050m vs a gtx 1060

[lilac sage]

oh ye I also like how the Mac Pro has their form factor in reverse ATX

[hybrid shell]

reverse ATX?

[calm spindle]

Portability, heat spreads better across components, so you don't need as much fans blowing from each end.

[lilac sage]

https://youtu.be/zcLbSCinX3U?t=977 I timestamped it

[calm spindle]

Plus you are correct on the aesthetic part

[lilac sage]

also the fact that you can designate pcie lanes while in MacOS is cool

no need for a reboot

[calm spindle]

And that you can have a smooth experience even on a 2017 macbook

That is, os wise

Not gaming wise ofc

[twin schooner]

finally i have been able to re-join the linus tech tips discord server! :D

[latent plank]

you mean BTX?

[hybrid shell]

idk

[lilac sage]

ye but something proprietary Apple did for their Mac Pro. not exactly BTX

[crude patio]

can someone write me a quick how-to?

.txt convert to .exe so I can chat with the .txt as if it's a bot.exe

[fluid ridge]

???????

[crude patio]

a lot of questions

[fluid ridge]

you want to change a .txt file to a .exe file and talk to it?

off the rockers fr

[crude patio]

no more questions?

so yes, I do

[young bloom]

is powershell 3.0 compatible with windows 7

i read it but whenever i try to install, it doesnt make progress

oh wait

bruh

thats annoying

[manic torrent]

exactly. Nobody cares.

[young bloom]

no

[manic torrent]

my egpu is portable.

[ocean narwhal]

egpu such a meem

[manic torrent]

and more - there is very very little that is compelling in terms of compatibility etc. As a rule, you don't lose anything by using 10 instead.

[young bloom]

not really, as long as you dont open malicious file then you are ok

[wraith sonnet]

quick question, I'm trying to make an auto run script to open a text document, how do I do that? google is not being helpful

[young bloom]

give me an example

[manic torrent]

what do you mean auto run script, and open text document. Just use start on it.

[young bloom]

its ok

[wraith sonnet]

It's meant to be on a flash drive

[manic torrent]

Even if this was true I still don't care - if you want new stuff to run, it won't be supported and nobody cares.

[ocean narwhal]

with physical access nothing matters

oh nvm

i thought this was the topic about vulnerable OS

the 2 generation old os? 👺

[wraith sonnet]

it's meant to be a flash drive for streaming passwords

[manic torrent]

or 3 or 4, depending on how you count

[ocean narwhal]

10 11?

[manic torrent]

everyone forgets windows 8

[young bloom]

i dont need much new things

[manic torrent]

... so then close up your PC and hit up the retirement village.

[young bloom]

false

[manic torrent]

"wahhhh I don't wanna upgrade windows, because I just don't wanna"

[young bloom]

you see in egypt there isnt many new computers, if i upgrade to 10 or even 8.1 it will not run well

barley running 7 as is

[manic torrent]

I would be surprised if you could tell the difference.

why not run windows 3.11 for workgroups

[young bloom]

i would

i dont have any data on here

[slim yacht]

you have linux as an alternative lol. they run on anything assuming you bother to learn how to set them up
if anything, upgrade to 8/10 wont make much different

[manic torrent]

yep. Much better off running newer linux on older hardware

[young bloom]

i have no idea in how to use linux

[ocean narwhal]

Just buy a macbook 🙂

[young bloom]

does it look like i have money for a macbook

egypt is poor

[dreamy rose]

i hate Imaging and copying drives.

[young bloom]

and so am i

[ocean narwhal]

that suck

[pliant karma]

lol you beat me to that jk

[dreamy rose]

nobody with a brain wants a Macbook anyway.

[ocean narwhal]

I kinda want an m1/2 🥴

[young bloom]

its ok

ill stick with norton antivirus + windows 7

[manic torrent]

You have made bad choices

[dreamy rose]

the only time i can Reccomend an Ubuntu based Distro is if you think you are really shit poor with Computers. like you don't know ANYTHING at all about computers.

[manic torrent]

lol. And here's me, literally over 20 years of experience in unix/linux running ubuntu.

[young bloom]

what about chrome os

[dreamy rose]

https://tenor.com/view/lotr-so-you-have-chosen-death-chosen-death-lord-of-the-rings-gif-15767548

[manic torrent]

yes, that's perfect for you

[dreamy rose]

yeah. that works. its Gentoo as well.

[young bloom]

i will willingly allow a virus to see starting windows screen though

[manic torrent]

I mean... not really, but ok.

[dreamy rose]

it is. just because its more web focused doesn't make it not Gentoo.

[young bloom]

what if i used 8.1 and then installed aero theme

[manic torrent]

it's not gentoo. It's chromeOS. based on gentoo, sure, but it isn't gentoo.

[young bloom]

that will work i suppose

[dreamy rose]

no need to rice windows

[young bloom]

ok i do this

what

[dreamy rose]

just use 8.1 like normal

[manic torrent]

also if you're using chromeOS, what distro it is based on is pretty much irrelevant.

[dreamy rose]

better than 2020 for Windows 7

[young bloom]

and then windows 10 will expire in 2025 forcing everyone to upgrade/get new pc

[dreamy rose]

not everyone, i know quite a few who plan to ditch Windows entirely by then

[young bloom]

yes but for vast majority of the world doesnt have this new technologies yet

[dreamy rose]

the Era of the Bloated POS windows for Majority gaming is nearly over.

[manic torrent]

Also because in 2025 the current old hardware will be ancient

[young bloom]

i am still running on 3rd gen i3

[dreamy rose]

isn't it up until 7th gen that 11 Runs on?

[dreamy rose]

2nd gen Mobile i5.

i have one of those

[young bloom]

very nice

[dreamy rose]

not really no. Stupid fucking GT 540M bottlenecks the shit out of it.

[young bloom]

the problem is not only the price but there is very little to no actual parts available here

[dreamy rose]

shitty 1GB of DDR3. this wasn't viable for 2011 why the fuck does it even Exist

oh wait. dumb Question. Nvidia

[young bloom]

i hav a broken notebook computer that has an intel atom with 1gb ram

it ran windows xp when it was alive in like 2008

[dreamy rose]

i wonder whats worse. that Atom or the Pentium 3 sitting in the Compaq from 2000. i wish i could use it but no Charger for the thing.

well ik for sure that Compaq doesn't have a gig of RAM.

[ruby bloom]

Anyone else seen the mkbhd vid sponsored by LTTstore.com

[pliant karma]

I've been able to get some bit listed hardware to run win 11 lol. As long as you have tpm 2.0 it will run

From my inventory of desktops/laptops my Hp Elitebook 840 G3s (i5-6200U) were able to go to win 11 after updating the tpm from 1.2 to 2

Where’s good places to buy desks online

Like every time I search fucking desks and shit it shows these tiny ass trashy gaming desks

Like I don’t want this new bullshit looking furniture

I want a brown wood desk with that can be used for a setup

[wheat solstice]

How much diy are you willing to do

[ancient fern]

Not really worried about price rn cause it’s for future reference

If it’s not stupidly expensive for a desk then I’m open to options

I need a decent sized desk that would work for a pc on the floor underneath it and plenty of space on the desk for whatever I need

[wheat solstice]

Well I ask not for price reasons but because a butcher block and an afternoon of work are pretty goated

[ancient fern]

Desk too small rn and it’s kinda crowded since it’s an actual desktop now

[dreamy rose]

if you wish to play Pool, you'd better get your Wiimote Ready.

[lilac sage]

theres only 1 person in here

I could get better advice by going on reddit

[dreamy rose]

r/teenagers

[ancient fern]

The style of desks is horrible

Computer desks aren’t it

I don’t want L shape

And they just all got the skinny ass legs that look stupid

[lilac sage]

go shop at thrift stores for a nice desk

or office depot lol

all my desks were either found in the garbage or at goodwill

pretty sturdy

[dreamy rose]

JerryRigEvreything

[fluid ridge]

sheesh the desk hits the sturdy 🥶

valid with it though 🔥

[lilac sage]

tbh its more like a table

https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-7761GR/Office-Tables/Downtown-Office-Table-60-x-30-Gray?pricode=WB8247&gadtype=pla&id=H-7761GR&gclid=CjwKCAiAvK2bBhB8EiwAZUbP1NiU-WGKRPLSrRByaDqxP0lUWaMGsOeos_iqvMSkeJHXSXQTvZ2hshoCG6cQAvD_BwE looks like this

[wispy marsh]

Hey hey

Did the wan show get taken down

[lilac sage]

was there a wan show?

[wispy marsh]

I can't see it for some reason

The wan show for this week

[lilac sage]

the one 5 days ago?

[fluid ridge]

i listened to it yesterday

it's still up

[lilac sage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYoWAjUAI7A& this one?

[fluid ridge]

there was no wan show for this week btw

[wispy marsh]

That's last week's

[fluid ridge]

they happen on friday

[wispy marsh]

I mean this week's wan show

[fluid ridge]

wan shows happen on friday my guy

[wispy marsh]

Today is friday

[fluid ridge]

[lilac sage]

not even close

[wispy marsh]

I slept at 7am

[fluid ridge]

forget time zones, this guys on another planet

holy venus standard time

[wispy marsh]

It's 11:24 now

Got about a good three fiddy hours of sleep

[junior mason]

Ugh, can't sleep, man it's been some time since I've had this level of energy

[lilac sage]

ok, plank for 3 minutes

or 20 pushups straight

[hot sky]

how good is the LTT store water bottle? does it have a "taste" i don't like the bottles that have a strong metal or plastic taste

[echo ridge]

no

[hot sky]

no its not good or no it doesn't have a taste to the water?

[echo ridge]

the latter

[woeful minnow]

even with the spout lid?

[forest remnant]

Not that I've tasted

[hearty spear]

most metal bottles lose any "taste" after a good cleaning or two

[echo ridge]

what are vk aios

[graceful burrow]

It does but it goes away pretty quickly

[hot sky]

thank you both that does answer my question

[manic torrent]

WTF HP. I couldn't get the firmware to update on the built in Realtek 8153 on my G2 thunderbolt dock, so I used a surface USB ethernet adapter I had lying around - perfect! no issues now. TBH the dock was $60 AUD, so I don't really care, but I would be PISSED if i paid retail.

[tender geyser]

Nothing

Been using mine for 2 and a half months

Dropped it and completely destroyed the spout lid but any sort of taste left after cleaning twice

[manic torrent]

it is good. I am literally drinking out of it as I type this.

[tender geyser]

I ordered a new spout lid and got free shoelaces from the bonus bin but they didn’t come 😔

[granite finch]

https://tenor.com/view/belly-belly-bounce-bounce-tummy-fat-gif-26813858

dom dom dom dom yes yes yes yes

[wispy marsh]

Roblox is a huge cash cow

[tender geyser]

They’ve had problems with pedophiles on the platform for a while

They do nothing about them most of the time

[dreamy rose]

Capitalizing on Child Labor is Accepted

[wispy marsh]

Consequence of a free market

[dreamy rose]

they are literally doing NFTs with Items and crap.

[wispy marsh]

They were already a cash cow before that

Mostly whales and "parents money"

[dreamy rose]

well yeah

[wispy marsh]

Their profit margins though

I've seen a chart passing by

It's unimaginable

[dreamy rose]

that's like spending 10 billion on a Shitty Social VR Platform and loosing more than 75% of your worth.

you would NEVER see it happening but yet it did

[wispy marsh]

Mark has noble plans

But he doesn't have the backers to fund this dream

[dreamy rose]

nobody is intrested in his Fake ass Metaverse. looks like fucking Midnight Club II

All i hope for is someone to pick up Oculus AND NOT EPIC.

[wispy marsh]

To be real

[ocean narwhal]

mark does NOT have noble plans lmao

[wispy marsh]

The accuracy of the metaverse, apart from the lousy initial textures

It's fucking scary

It's so accurate that it's scary

Like the holographic communications in Mass Effect

[dreamy rose]

its not UE5.

[wispy marsh]

That's because UE5 is left to the hands of developers

[dreamy rose]

UE5 VR is actually scarily Accurate.

[tender moat]

yo the oculus rift guy wants to bring sword art online to real life

[wispy marsh]

Meta has to do both the engine and the developers

I believe if they port over raytracing and texture streaming from UE5 to meta, I'd be creeped out

UE5 does scripted events

Meta does realtime events

[hollow pulsar]

The fundamental problem with the meta verse (at least in its current evolution) is that you literally don’t own anything of actual worth. Sure, you get your unicorn or whatever. But then the next version of the engine invalidates it.

[wispy marsh]

That's the problem

They're trying to create a VR platform that serves as the foundation for the next-gen tech

No one in their right mind would do that in a free capitalist market, unless they exclusively control the vr and ar market

And definitely not a company with the kind and amount of wounds, scars and injuries like Meta

[hollow pulsar]

The other problem with the meta verse is it’s name. The name alludes to an all-encompassing platform. Except it’s anything but.

[wispy marsh]

They have no reference

Going all-out is their only choice

There are no existing worldwide ar+vr platform to build upon, they're just throwing everything on the wall to see if it sticks

And the only way they can recoup (with their business model) is advertising and data processing

[hollow pulsar]

In fact, the name “meta verse” might actually be appropriate because if you take my previous statement, you come to the conclusion that “meta verse” is filled with lies and empty-promises. Which is startlingly true to say the least.

[wispy marsh]

I know what you mean

It's only awful because an advertisement, falsehood-laden social media is the one company that's doing it

[hollow pulsar]

What Meta attempted to do was get in on the ground floor of creating a replacement for reality - and in doing so, attempt to capture a budding market and tie it solely to the company “Meta”.

[wispy marsh]

Tbh I'd take vr secondlife and vrchat over metaverse

[calm spindle]

We'll see

[hollow pulsar]

I’ll take “touch grass”. There’s something really amazing about gazing up at the stars camped out in a field of grass.

…something I think the head of meta should do more of.

Beats me. I have no respect for a company that expects people to forward 65,000 ports to 1 computer so that roblox can work properly.

“You don’t need basic Internet security that has worked reasonably well for the past 20+ years.” - Roblox company

Last I checked, roblox requires you to forward 65,000+ ports from your router to whatever computer you want to play roblox on.

[wispy marsh]

Doesn't do that for me

The only port forwarding i ever do is my wireguard vpn

[ocean narwhal]

what are you talking about

roblox doesnt require any port forwarding at all

[hollow pulsar]

I dunno, but it told me they were a 100% incompetent company. Absolutely no other software on the planet requires this.

Maybe they changed things. But I straight up read it in their site. I’m looking for it now actually

[ocean narwhal]

Theres no way the hundreds of millions of drooling kids who play roblox forwarder their ports to their devices

[lilac sage]

ye kids cant even port forward minecraft servers

[wispy marsh]

It's a "security risk" to describe the best case scenario for port forwarding

[lilac sage]

instead they just pay for realms or an external company

[hollow pulsar]

Ok, so I’m out of date here. They’ve updated their info.

[ocean narwhal]

u cant even host ur own shit on bobox no need for a constant port

[young bloom]

i have officially made the wise switch from windows 7 to linux mint

[hollow pulsar]

Excellent. How are things going so far?

[dreamy rose]

mint? mint is meh

[wispy marsh]

Might go back to w10 if not for the tabbed explorer and dark task mamager

[dreamy rose]

11 doesn't have that?

[wispy marsh]

11 has dark taskmgr and tabbed explorer

That's why I'm staying on 11

[young bloom]

i havent tried it out that much yet but i plan to explore soon

[carmine merlin]

Reminds me of " I just upgraded to win 10 from win 11"

[young bloom]

from what ive heard its quite light

[dreamy rose]

you can do better if you want light

[wispy marsh]

I need to learn powershell scripting to script all the shit that I have ever done on my pc so that if I ever need to reinstall, I'll just have to run that script and be gucci

[young bloom]

well i also have no clue on how linux works so this is a start

[hollow pulsar]

Gotchya. If you talk to 10 Linux community members, you’ll get 100 opinions. Just go with what you’re comfortable with and feel free to try different distro’s!

[wispy marsh]

Rule 1. Don't sudo if you don't have to
Rule 2. Do not sudo rm -rf /

[young bloom]

what is a sudo 😭

[dreamy rose]

Manjaro with KDE is pretty light. about 500MB from my experience

[wispy marsh]

Superuser do

[dreamy rose]

Super User Do

[young bloom]

ah

so the equivalent of administator

[wispy marsh]

Nope

It's uac with password

Administrator is just an account

[young bloom]

i see

[wispy marsh]

I updated my docker lxc and my wireguard broke

Umpteenth time wireguard just broke while samba and adguardhome works perfectly fine

[hollow pulsar]

Might be more of an issue with how docker wire guard is packaged.

[cinder flint]

What usecases do you expect out of the distribution you want @young bloom

[wispy marsh]

Nah, it's a wireguard issue

[young bloom]

translation pls

[wispy marsh]

It broke in a proxmox lxc, it broke in a docker container

I'm fucking done with wireguard

[hollow pulsar]

Who are you so wise in the ways of science? It’s rare to see this level of professionalism.

[wispy marsh]

Do you want to keeb or left-click

[cinder flint]

I'm just a pleb who have nobara installed

[hollow pulsar]

Lol

[young bloom]

what is a keeb

[wispy marsh]

Keyboard

[dreamy rose]

that didn't work for me.

[young bloom]

do i wamt a keyboard or left click?

[wispy marsh]

Yes

What you gonna use ur linux install for

[lilac sage]

it could also mean a korean weeb but ye here its prob a keyboard

[hollow pulsar]

I’m not sure what this means

[young bloom]

normal use

[wispy marsh]

Ah

[young bloom]

nothing special

[wispy marsh]

Can't help you there, sorry

[cinder flint]

which gpu do you have?

[wispy marsh]

6800XT

[young bloom]

igpu 😃

[dreamy rose]

hes on 3rd gen i3

[young bloom]

yes

[dreamy rose]

probably HD 4000

[cinder flint]

you need to install the proprietary drivers if the card is very new even if you are on amd

[wispy marsh]

Got a ubuntu server running proxmox on a 2600

[dreamy rose]

GT 540M

[wispy marsh]

Don't need gpu to output a CLI

[cinder flint]

i meant for on nobara

[hollow pulsar]

What makes Nobara special?

[dreamy rose]

yeah my GPU isn't good enough thats the problem

[wispy marsh]

As in, you don't need a gpu for the 2600

[dreamy rose]

Glorious Eggroll made it

[wispy marsh]

I just plug the hdmi cable into the motherboard

It can run a DE, but the GUI is on a web server, so the 2600 only ever needs to display out a CLI through the hdmi

Therefore I don't need a gpu for the 2600

[distant ridge]

Can a Dell C6145 server with two four socket motherboards run on one of its two 1100W power supplies?

[cinder flint]

the specialty about it is it has a lot of kernel patches like openrgb, fsync, ashmem/binder
it also comes with the proprietary nvidia drivers, obs-studio with browser integration, xone drivers for xbox one, series s/x controller support and a lot more

and its based on fedora

[wispy marsh]

Padoru distribution when

[cinder flint]

yeah about that
nobara only supports nvidia cards which has support for driver version 515 and newer
GT 540M only has support only in 390.154

[dreamy rose]

its 390.35 actually

[cinder flint]

just checked the nvidia website
they have a new minor update for 390 series drivers

[dreamy rose]

oh yeah i think i saw that but it never installed. don't think its for Windows Either

[lethal copper]

Should I get a 2nd, vertical monitor? 🤔

I am not sure because I usually do stuff on my MacBook and only use the desktop for playing Team Fortress 2

[analog night]

yo i have a question for yall

its about where should i set my monitor

ill post it in #tech-chat-1

[eager notch]

Clearly the best option is to play TF2 vertical on a monitor

[full fossil]

Rtx 2060s or 3050

Both have the same price which do I pick

[echo ridge]

2060

Actually 6600 if thats a a option

[full fossil]

Welll there isn't many stores that sells amd cards (kinda weird) but I found this 6600-xt that cost 650 USD

💀

[echo ridge]

Where do you live

[full fossil]

Malaysia

[clever raft]

i should have done a better job with my floatplane job application lol

[echo ridge]

Fair enough

[wispy marsh]

Cross the border and a 6900XT is $680

[full fossil]

LMAO

[full fossil]

Nah it's just this particular store, dude is mental man

I think I'll just settle for a 2060s

It's a pretty decent upgrade from a 1650

Or I'll just wait for AMD to release their new GPUs

Definitely not settling for a 40 series

[dull granite]

learning british (in europan schools) is like learning how to build a computers based on dell propetiary pc parts

[clever raft]

honestly ive been struggling with motivation off my meds so i shouldnt have submitted it until i was sure i was done

[dreamy rose]

no its not weird.

because AMD was at the bottom for so long everyone else got a Bias.

[lethal copper]

Because it costs money?

Oh I thought it was "why not"

[lethal copper]

Truly

[last jungle]

are the prices for a decent oled still insane i haven't looked in years now at this point

[wispy marsh]

For some reason, my Wireguard has begun working again

Interesting much

[dreamy rose]

i want a new Sequel or Remaster to Driver San Francisco.

that game is Such a Masterpiece i hate not seeing more like it.

[manic torrent]

ehhhhh. yes and no

[last jungle]

yes and no how so?

[manic torrent]

just.. look at prices. it has come down, but it still isn't cheap

[stuck stratus]

there's no stores that sell any gpus here

;-;

[willow patrol]

wym

[full fossil]

Question

Do latest phones not come in small sizes now?

Like size of old iphones, but with same amount of ram and Camera quality and shit

I hate that I can't use my phone with 1 hand, anyone else have that issue? Iam willing to have a small screen in exchange for good view but not less ram and trash camera quality that's to much

[fervent prairie]

Buy an iPhone 13 mini while they are still available, that's your best bet atm.

[forest wedge]

What about Samsung?

[fervent prairie]

Only low end phones as far as I'm aware. Everything high end is big.

Like pixel 6a is decent size too, bit bigger than 13mini.

[forest wedge]

Your hand just gotta adapt these days wtf

[full fossil]

yea the new straight to nitro buy option is annoying

^

[forest wedge]

Doesn't help I naturally just have small hands to

[crystal mirage]

zenfone 9 exists

[manic torrent]

get bigger hands

[slim yacht]

samsung base/+ models usually fell short quite badly in terms of battery
you have the choice of zenfone 9/iphones mini's/standard 14

otherwise its some weird badly specced midrange

[forest wedge]

Ahhh yeah they need big battery I forgot

Aight I will just use big size maybe

[slim yacht]

pixel 7 is quite appealing tbh if u want a 6 incher

[forest wedge]

6 inch is big, but I might just get one of those sizes

[forest wedge]

Prosthetics would be fun

Imagine I add all kinds of acceceries built into my hand

[molten viper]

Hello, my monitor takes hours to turn on and then flickers a lot . What's the problem? any idea ^^

[crystal mirage]

well to me it sounds like it is broken

and btw #1027757333117415424 exists

[molten viper]

Oh thx

[dreamy rose]

you want foam fingers?

[forest wedge]

No like a big metal hand

[manic torrent]

my wife is studying prosthetics 🙂

[forest wedge]

Oh damn, that's cool as hell

I'II add flashlight and shit to mine if I had one

[simple summit]

I just dumped a whole thermos of water on my MacBook, and everytime I tried to wipe the keyboard and it turned on the MacBook because brilliant apple decided every key has to be a power button and shorted it out

I’m just in disbelief, that my laptop could have been saved had it not been turned on

I want to know who at apple thought it was so difficult to turn the MacBook on an off that they needed to make it so every key, even pushing the track pad, would turn on the system

[crystal mirage]

well ask apple and get ignored

[manic torrent]

tbh, with a laptop you are best to make sure it is off off, then open it and d/c the battery (for a big spill)

[simple summit]

There is no off off for M1 MacBooks

I can’t even open it because it’s shitty screws came stripped from the factory

[mild hedge]

Slowmode

[manic torrent]

Oh, I member. I also remember when they didn't have lithium batteries 😄

I replaced my son's iPad screen protector today. Damn.

[vapid plume]

Do you really need a screen protector with that case...

[manic torrent]

Have you ever met a 5 year old?

[vapid plume]

Yes

I have also met someone with that case and it was disgusting

[manic torrent]

the screen protector isn't to protect it from drops etc, it's to protect it from ... everything.

food, bodily emissions, god knows what

[vapid plume]

Yes, and it all gets stuck 'in the case'

[manic torrent]

$7.50 for a screen protector and you replace it and it looks like new again 🙂

[vapid plume]

True

[manic torrent]

... which is why when you replace it, you also clean the case

hilariously, you can bend the case to sit it up on a surface, but he ABSOLUTELY CANNOT ABIDE THAT. The case must be straight at all times.

[vapid plume]

What does he think about laptops

Does the screen need to lay flat too then

[manic torrent]

oh no he loves laptops.

[vapid plume]

Do you also think games have changed in the last 10-15 years, it's all like 'screams' at you, same goes for tv

[manic torrent]

There he is, trying to log in to dads laptop 😄

[vapid plume]

Upcoming hacker, I see

[manic torrent]

everything changes always. He basically just plays the duplo game, because we got a subscription and it's a heap of mini games with duplo. Like washing a car and charging it, flying a plane, a submarine, and others

[vapid plume]

It could also just be a difference in what I like to play vs what my little brother likes to play

[manic torrent]

mind you, when we had safari allowed, he would open up two side by side windows and watch two youtube videos at the same time.

[vapid plume]

I would always play like a themepark thing or farming simulator, but he's already doing shooters and stuff

[vapid plume]

What a moron

Kinda cool he already knows how to do that though

[wanton glade]

wait who's this weirdo ?

[manic torrent]

my son, who was 4 at the time 🙂

[wanton glade]

weirdo

jk lmao

I was kinda like him when I was 4, but he's much better than me I think

[manic torrent]

he has down syndrome, but he doesn't let that stop him 😄 - he just can't be told or taught, you just have to set it up so he learns himself

[vapid plume]

When I was that age, iPads didn’t even exist

[wanton glade]

noice, this kid's gonna go to places

[manic torrent]

when I was that age, the PS/2 (not the console, the PC) didn't even exist

[vapid plume]

Ah

[still ledge]

first time i was allowed to use a computer i was 9

im 16 now

[manic torrent]

as long as they are places that allow you to laugh maniacally as you throw duplo people in the air 😄

[wanton glade]

hmm ain't that called WWE ?

[wanton glade]

pov : you could play minecraft :(

Ididn't know it existed until I was 11

[vapid plume]

Remember when you could have the nether in the overworld

[manic torrent]

damn, by 9 I had been using computers for ages

[wanton glade]

nope, coz I couldn't play at the time

[vapid plume]

I think I really started getting into computers when I was 7

[wanton glade]

I knew how to use tech gear since forever, it's intuitive, as well as learning stuff very fast, like video games for example, but I got interested to actual tech hardware, like pc building, only this summer

[signal nexus]

I ate a hard chocolate now i feels my teeth are gonna break

I lost my job at a nursing home because the Jamaican women didn’t like that everyone liked me

[swift idol]

Sounds like a shit company in the first place, it's a bit of a blessing in disguise

[simple summit]

I was starting a small business but my MacBook died with my presentation for my first client

[simple summit]

I liked my job, sure I had to wipe old ladies asses and chase the dementia ones around when they tried to escape, I just think it’s fucked that I got pushed out because of coworker drama

And finding work has been impossible down here because I live next to Disney and refuseeeeee to work for them

[swift idol]

Yeah I got you but if they fire you over something petty, they don't really deserve your time.

[lilac fiber]

I’ll give you reason to live it made me very happy

[simple summit]

@simple summit https://youtu.be/IdTMDpizis8

[simple summit]

All of my problems started because I stayed up too late working, moral of the story go the hell to bed 😩

And don’t buy chairs that are slanted because when they spin around they knock cups onto computers

[wanton glade]

yes, buy secret lab, or hm aeron

don't be dumb folks

jk lol

@full fossil oh yeh you're the guy with that goofy ahh pfp

you got me last time you son of a blee blob

[wispy marsh]

I want an ergohuman elite plus chair

[wanton glade]

are they actually good tho ?

I want a sl titan personally

got the chance to test one for 10 seconds, and it was so goddamn comfy

[wispy marsh]

I don't want SL chair

[simple summit]

Is there any flaws in my plan to vacuum seal my laptop to suck out the water?

[white fractal]

Why what? No that won’t work. Just disassemble it, clean it with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely before reassembly

[simple summit]

I can’t disassemble it because the shitty apple screws came already stripped for maximum apple quality control.

[white fractal]

Then leave it off for a couple of weeks

[full fossil]

Yeah but I went to sleep for almost 8 hours already…

[simple summit]

I feel the I should be able to vacuum out the water via a vacuum seal bag

I can’t find the flaw

[wispy marsh]

Send it to louis rossmann

[simple summit]

I heard he’s expensive as fuck

[white fractal]

You can’t… that is not how a vacuum works but sure give it a try

[wispy marsh]

Quite the amount of that money goes to right-to-repair lobbyists

[simple summit]

How do they work then

[white fractal]

They use the atmospheric pressure to “push” debris/water from where ever you are trying to vacuum into the hose/bag but reducing the pressure in the vacuum. If you put the laptop in a bag, you will reduce the pressure in the bag with the vacuum so the atmospheric pressure will press the bag against the laptop and that will be it.

[dreamy rose]

Vaccoom seal bags succ out all the Air out da bag with da Vaccoom. not add to it

[wispy marsh]

And spread the water to everywhere else

[simple summit]

Won’t it suck out the water tho

[simple summit]

Pretty sure my Ram is enjoying a nice rainy day on the logic board Prairie

[wispy marsh]

Air moves better than water, so if you put it in a vacuum bag, the vacuuming device would just suck out all the air first and it'd just spread the water evenly throughout the device

Just like vacuum-packed meat marination

[simple summit]

is there any hope of my screen magically coming back to life

[white fractal]

No. Disassemble, clean and let it dry. There are ways to extract striped screws, go find some tutorials online.

[wispy marsh]

There are tools

Special bits that bite into the screw

But, no, I would advice against putting electronics in a vacuum bag

Even if it's fully dry

[wicked steeple]

AMD promoing LTT promoing AMD

[swift idol]

Aye, I would love to switch to AMD but unfortunately it's just not ready yet, hopefully RDNA3 fixes a lot of that.

[simple summit]

On a normal day I could literally leave it outside all day in the 90 degree sun and it would be dry but of course there’s a tropical storm happening instead

[white fractal]

I dumped an entire glass of sangria into a few month old macbook pro years ago. Pulled it apart and cleaned/dried it. Still works to this day.

[simple summit]

I’m just so pissed because any other MacBook I’ve saved just by turning it off and letting it sit and this one died because apple thinks power buttons are stupid

[simple summit]

I’m not gonna be able to take it apart so hopefully it will dry on it’s own

[swift idol]

Alx has just been complaining about his life all morning, Just being depressed for the sake of being depressed.

[simple summit]

Depressed because I accidentally destroyed my new MacBook and it’s like the shit cherry on top of my shit sundae

Ohh just like how you said you didn't want to live because you lost your job ? Not really the appropriate place to ask for life coaching when you're saying how you don't want to live anymore dude, bit cringe.

Talking about ending yourself in a discord isn't the right place for it.

I'm sure the upper echelons would love you, because divided we stand

i hate childish people.

[wispy marsh]

I understand childish people

[swift idol]

Isn't that discord in general ? The average age range for most servers is 13-17

[wispy marsh]

Don't worry about manners behind a screen, people generally don't mind you

Don't you agree with me?

[dreamy rose]

true i guess. most places i'm in there's rarely people that act Childish.

i stay in smaller servers though.

i really have no intrest in large Streamer/ youtuber discords

[wispy marsh]

I think that's a good thing

[dreamy rose]

ofc. LTT is an Exception because cool channel

[wispy marsh]

Yes, yes, LTT is the best channel of all time

[dreamy rose]

Music, Memes and LTT is all i need

[wispy marsh]

That's a pretty good arrangement

We shall eat our fill, stay in the well, and relax under the blue sky

[dreamy rose]

my music is mainly the old stuff. Shit i listed to back when i was gamin on PS3 and 360 when i was 6 or so.

then stuff i found because i'm a Guy who likes old things in general.

[wispy marsh]

I too, love old things

Traditionalists are lovely, their ability to hoard, persuade, pass on their teachings and stand firm with their thoughts are amazing

An immovable object against all other forces

ikr. god people gobble up that Modern Pop like its Oxygen. meanwhile they never laid ear on the Masterpiece of Wavy air that is the Driver: San Francisco Soundtrack, or Need For Speed Hot Pursuit.

[wispy marsh]

This just gives me great ideas

Should prolly preach these ideals when I get harassed with spam calls

Maybe I should grow my own organic vegetables, y'know?

[dreamy rose]

The Sleeping Ignoramus is better than the entirety of Modern pop past 2016 and you cant state otherwise.

[wispy marsh]

Squash, pumpkins, tubers, onions

Alright, I'm done thinking about layered vegetables for now

I'll be on my way

im trying to study here and yet i get disctracted from discord

[hollow pulsar]

Close discord. Why are you trying to make other people close discord for you?

[hearty spear]

Easier to make other people take responsibility for your actions?

[hollow pulsar]

If they had pressed the point, I would have started talking about how it’s stupid to give personal freedoms to others because of lack of self control and to get a grip now or move to a communist country. But I just woke up and I’m not exactly nice at the moment.

[swift idol]

you really went off the deep end

[opaque cave]

Ive got a good one for ya: 2 laptops next to each other, one can connect to the network the other cant. If you shut down both, whichever one you open first is able to connect to the net, the other wont be able to. No static ip, plenty of leases from dhcp, /release /renew does nothing. What the hells going on lol

[hearty spear]

wifi or ethernet?

[opaque cave]

Wifi

[hearty spear]

really weird idea, but compare MAC addys?

[dawn jackal]

There’s a possibility the AP can’t handle both of them at the same time either

[opaque cave]

Checked :/

It should be able to, before today they both worked

[dawn jackal]

Hmmm

[hearty spear]

are there other new wifi devices connected?

phones or other things?

[opaque cave]

No sir, last new thing was a couple weeks ago, tablet

[hearty spear]

das weird, IDK

[opaque cave]

Right?! I mean, the user could be smoking dat ganja shit, but he sounded of sound mind lmao

[hollow pulsar]

Sounds like a limit on the number of MAC addresses on the port. Did you change the network configuration at all lately? Enable any security settings or device limits?

[opaque cave]

Hadnt thought about that, ill have to ask security about that tomorrow, thanks mate

[analog quest]

I need help, anyone up for it?

My laptop has 8gb of RAM soldered on, but I was thinking to add some

I thought 16gb, but what about ram mismatch?

here's the handbook, if ya'll need it https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/thinkbook_14_15_gen2_hmm.pdf

[dreamy rose]

anyone actually used a 22110 SSD?

[dreamy rose]

you're fine macthing an 8 and a 16. don't go Crazy over that, you might just wanna make sure its got chips from the same company

[analog quest]

sure

[sacred escarp]

Its fine, just ain’t recommended if u can avoid it. He clearly can’t tho

[dreamy rose]

nice Square numbers are good, i agree that its not that great but i see a Reason to do it.

[sacred escarp]

Its more matching speed and cas latency than chip manufacturer from my experience

[swift idol]

I never did understand why manufacturers solder on RAM, it's so stupid

[dreamy rose]

Eg if you live off Good integrated graphics and want to game. more System RAM for the iGPU to take

[dreamy rose]

money

[sacred escarp]

Cheaper and can make the device thinner

And smaller

[dreamy rose]

thats what they want you to think

[swift idol]

Yeah true, it's normally the lower end products that do it so mis-matched RAM and ending up with something like 12gb or what ever isn't really going to be a problem because it's only going to be for basic stuff

[sacred escarp]

Its ultra stupid when they have soldered ram AND a slot

Like why

[dreamy rose]

its okay to wanna provide upgrade options But slots only.

[sacred escarp]

Exactly

[weak bridge]

nah, it can be thin without it

[forest remnant]

Ah hello pepe

[sacred escarp]

Thinner, gotta make them bendy

iPhone 6 style

[dreamy rose]

ngl i think i should wait for a laptop with a really Good iGPU like AMD Has and wait to Shove in more RAM for that iGPU

8TB SSD PS4 Pro? please. what a Waste of money.

[sacred escarp]

That’s very random

[swift idol]

Not if you jailbreak it like mine. Useful for storage of games

[dreamy rose]

thanks youtube

[sacred escarp]

Yt moment

[swift idol]

PS4 games are pretty big when you install them and useful for storage of jailbroken games, saves you having to redownload them when websites get taken down.

[dreamy rose]

it'd be great for when your games all decide to update. Fucking hell Sony has never delt with this correctly.

[swift idol]

You block the update server's via the exploit

and you can downgrade games to run on lower firmware

[dreamy rose]

i'm talking about a non exploited unit

[swift idol]

I have a PS5 on firmware 4.03 untouched for a long time as waiting for an exploit to come about, nearly there tbh.

[dreamy rose]

Still. my brother has had to delete many games, Many times because War thunder or Siege decided to update.

[swift idol]

You can disable updates in the menu but not sure if games actively get around that to prevent the exploits and jailbreaking

[dreamy rose]

he never cared for Jailbreak and this is the Experience out of the box

[swift idol]

Fair enough

[dreamy rose]

its pathetic, really.

[swift idol]

how so ?

[dreamy rose]

we had both Xbox one and PS4 with 500GB drives. Never had to uninstall games to update anything on Xbox. PS4 it was so Common it made me angry.

i wasn't even affected by that shit. it got Old to me too.

[swift idol]

So what you're saying is my jailbroken PS4 is a better experience

[dreamy rose]

Of course it is.

i'm Also saying the Xbox is too.

[swift idol]

Each to their own i suppose

[dreamy rose]

a Jailbroken Xbox is cool btw

[swift idol]

You can't jailbreak the xbox one series

[dreamy rose]

exactly. Piracy and Cheats have been blocked entirely

[swift idol]

You said a jailbroken xbox is cool so confused me as that doesn't exist

[dreamy rose]

homebrew Capability is locked behind the Dev mode.

[swift idol]

Yeah but you can't jail break it

[dreamy rose]

thats the point you don't need it

[swift idol]

Right

[dreamy rose]

though it does mean you miss out on running linux.

i would have liked that had i still had the Xbox One

[hearty spear]

There's no such thing as a console you can't jailbreak.
There are only consoles we can't jailbreak YET

[dreamy rose]

Xbox One is gonna be Retro by that time

their Security is really Strong and they have put the Hackers off by introducing Dev mode

[swift idol]

AKSCHULLY

[dreamy rose]

i wonder if anybody has been having a Good experience with ChromeOS Flex.

welcome to my world

[hearty spear]

What? Every company claims their consoles are unbreakable

None have actually pulled it off yet

[swift idol]

It's this server in general, no matter what you say someone just has to slide in with an "AKSHULLY" over the slightest incorrect wording. You are right, nothing can't be jail broken but I was obviously talking in current tense.

I'm planning on getting a THX Certified receiver

And one that also can encode Dolby Atmos

[echo ridge]

Yep just don't use public chat

[misty scarab]

Can I go to uni with an Unweighted 3.89

[echo ridge]

Idk

[sacred escarp]

I mean u can

Weird question to ask.

[echo ridge]

This chat has gone from is this gpu good to is this gpa good

[fossil dirge]

What do you guys think about upgrading my home theater

I'm planning on getting a THX Certified receiver

[slate wing]

Home theaters are cringe. Get a good monitor and open backs

[fossil dirge]

Home theaters are not cringe

I prefer to have a home theater because it's a cinema experience at home

[swift idol]

and you can watch with your friends... that thing most of us don't have

[sage pagoda]

why are membrane keyboards less preferred than mechanical

[echo ridge]

It don't do the noises

Also it feels like trash imo

[slate wing]

Mushy, wear our faster, and generally don’t allow as many key presses

[echo ridge]

Aren't you green

[sage pagoda]

i currently have a membrane keyboard, but I'll probably get a mechanical once my current one starts kicking the bucket

it's the Steelseries Apex 3 TKL

[echo ridge]

Are you talking about shit

[sage pagoda]

what does mushiness feel like in a keyboard. I can't feel it

[echo ridge]

Just stop

[sage pagoda]

this one doesn't feel too bad. it's a membrane, and I really don't feel any different from the ones on display that I saw that were mechanical

[swift idol]

Feel, I can't use membrane because it's mushy. I like red or brown switches. Mostly it's literally just what you like.

If you don't mind membrane, then crack on

[echo ridge]

Once I used a mechanical keyboard I couldn't go back

[sage pagoda]

I mean I might give one a try.

tkl seems like a good layout for me

[hearty spear]

you don't have to spend 200$ to get into mech keyboards

[echo ridge]

Keychorn c1 or k552

[hearty spear]

you can get really good ones in the 40-60$ range if you find one on sale

[echo ridge]

Is what you should get

[sage pagoda]

part of me wants to build my own keyboard too

[swift idol]

Sure if you want to do something, go for it.

Not all membranes are horrible tho. I personally love the one on my Lenovo laptop. Can get near identical speed of my desktop on it

[echo ridge]

Its not the speed for me it the feel

[swift idol]

same

Linus should DIY cryogenic cooling on 4090 setup for liquid nitrogen temperatures.

[junior tide]

i hate laundry so much

[junior tide]

i am still using my somewhat custom 30 dollar mech

i bought a cheapo mech 2 years ago for 25 bucks or something and it had really nice switches but it had a numpad
i bought another TKL that was broken and just moved all the switches and keycaps from one to the other

layout i want with switches i like

[leaden gale]

"but it had a numpad"

You say that like it's a bad thing

[junior tide]

jank setup gang

[junior tide]

ok lets say i didnt want one

[leaden gale]

Valid

[junior tide]

when i need a numpad its when im at work and i dont carry my mech to work

laptop setup yes

best thing about mechs is durability and ease of repair

switch no work? replace it
pulled a pad off? run a wire
switch broken? replace

[full fossil]

hello there, i recently had run into some problems with a laptop i want to buy

wheres the best place to ask for some help?

[hearty spear]

Never tried it, so I can't speak personally?

But for 60$? It seems like it's pretty fully featured.

[old marten]

Agreed

Seems pretty nice

[full fossil]

#tech-chat-1 or do i make a forum post?

[leaden gale]

Bought it in October 2020, first mech keyboard I've ever owned

Came with Gateron Reds, and it was one hell of an upgrade from the old Razer Deathstalker I was using before

[golden talon]

no

[agile dagger]

Uhh stupid question

Do any of you canadians know where to get cable ties for cheap

They are like 10 bucks for a pack of 100

[dull granite]

epyc 96 core

[fluid ridge]

zip tie supremacy

[hearty spear]

not in it's wildest dreams

[fluid ridge]

how can cyberpunk barely run on a 4090 if the engine it's using is from 2012

that shit was in development close to a decade

[swift idol]

What ?

[fluid ridge]

what

[swift idol]

What are you talking about a 4090 can't play cyberpunk ?

[hearty spear]

lolwut?!

[dull granite]

????

[fluid ridge]

i didnt say it cant i said it barely runs on a 4090

it gets sub 100fps

[swift idol]

Dude, meds. Now

[hearty spear]

at 4K with RTX on?

[dull granite]

good fps is 240p

.

its was a joke

[fluid ridge]

i believe so

barely runs means it can run but doesnt run very well

[fluid ridge]

and yes windows 11 supremacy

[hearty spear]

So, you take one of the most GPU demanding games, and turn it to max settings, at 4K, with the absolute hardest to process settings, and you're mad it doesn't run at 240FPS?

[swift idol]

You fell for the 4090 meme? The 4090 isn't designed for gaming. It's designed for power point presentations.

[golden talon]

tbf with all the settings cranked up my 3070 barely even hit 1080p 60 fps

[fluid ridge]

the entire point was me questioning why the game was so GPU demanding considering it's built on an engine from 2012

[golden talon]

Minecraft

[iron elk]

anyone else watching the stream?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPFNBVFMh7k

[golden talon]

no

[hearty spear]

it's not the same engine as 2012, and when you add shit, it causes things to run slower

in your opinion

[fluid ridge]

it runs redengine

[hearty spear]

and?

[fluid ridge]

red engine was used to make the witcher

the witcher came out in 2007

[golden talon]

Honestly I felt DMC 5's graphics were better than cyberpunks

[hearty spear]

and engines get better over time. What's your point?

[golden talon]

And it was definitely far more optimized

[fluid ridge]

engines scale to moores law too?

just because you have a shiny ass new chassis, frame and paint job on your 1990 honda civic does not change the fact that it has a 12 horsepower engine from 30 years ago

[hearty spear]

Do you think engines are the exact same at all times in their existence?

[fluid ridge]

of course not

[swift idol]

I get your mad but why did you buy a 4090 when it's not for gaming and designed for power point presentation's ? Lmao

[fluid ridge]

but i believe fundamentally, that unless it was completely rewritten, that a 10 year old engine is still a 10 year old engine at heart

[golden talon]

anything thats under the geforce moniker is marketed towards gamers

[swift idol]

Nah bro, a 4090 is designed for calculator and microsoft paint at best.

[golden talon]

No its designed for minesweeper

[swift idol]

Triage is proof, poor guy got it for gaming and it doesn't do 4k 320

[hearty spear]

enough with the shitposting, jesus

[golden talon]

I wonder if the M2 Extreme will be able to give the 4090 a run for its money

[iron elk]

anyone got their hands on the dedicated intel gpus?

[golden talon]

I have very high hopes for a large scale 4nm fab SoC

[crude patio]

that is like saying: I win lotto

[fluid ridge]

if you pay 1600USD for a top of the line, brand spankin flagship GPU and it cant run a game at it's highest settings that at least matches your monitors refresh rate, i would want a refund

[golden talon]

Paired with apple's focus on efficiency and optimization, might be able to see some crazy gains

[fluid ridge]

that is all i will say to that

[swift idol]

Are you in the EU ?

[fluid ridge]

no

[swift idol]

Check your countries law's most have a return window no questions asked

[crude patio]

u jesus btw

[fluid ridge]

i didnt buy a 4090

i only have a measly 3070

[golden talon]

cyberpunk brings 3070 to its knees

(i had a 3070)

[swift idol]

So let me get this straight, you're bitching about a card you don't have, without testing DLSS on cyberpunk yourself ?

[spare shadow]

it doesnt tho

[golden talon]

It does lmao

[spare shadow]

put it on medium

[golden talon]

Even with DLSS with everything cranked up it still barely chugs past 1080p 60 fps

[spare shadow]

dlss enabled

[golden talon]

without DLSS, forget about it, barely playable

[spare shadow]

medium + dlss it will look spectacular

[swift idol]

Well yeah, because the 4090 isn't for gaming.

[golden talon]

I didnt buy a 3070 to play on mf medium settings on 1080p

[spare shadow]

maybe try it

its not so bad

turn ur nose up at medium settings

still way above a console

[golden talon]

Nah I returned the game

And sold off my PC

[fluid ridge]

DLSS doesn't count, and of course im bitching about something i dont have

the entirety of the tech space is bitching about shit people dont have

[golden talon]

It is for gaming dude lmao

[swift idol]

I have a 3090 and I played Cyberpunk at 1440p and I enjoyed every moment of it 100+fps.

[spare shadow]

medium settings are great high is the sweet spot and ultra is a stupid setting that offers little

[swift idol]

Nah dude, the 4090 is for watching youtube videos

[fluid ridge]

almost everyone here who has ever complained about the power draw of the 13900k, the 12900k, the pricing of the 7950x, how big the 4090 is etc. almost never own these things

[spare shadow]

what is there to do

[golden talon]

I watched the cyberpunk anime, deleted and then returned the game as soon as i finished

[night heron]

true that

[spare shadow]

i found the game very shallow

[fluid ridge]

edgrunners

[night heron]

there's 0 reason to complain about power draw on a halo product, it's a complete waste of time

[fluid ridge]

[night heron]

if you wanna complain about power draw complain about power draw on low-mid tier products

halo products are supposed to be ridiculous

[golden talon]

its almost like stuffing more transistors into a product makes it draw more power 🧠

[spare shadow]

i can complain about power draw bc polar bears

imo there are better games to sink ur life into

[night heron]

plus if budget was no concern the 4090 is still the most efficient gpu

[dapper marlin]

yo guys i need someone to help me with a simple c# program

[night heron]

and if you want to lock a gpu to 150w a 4090 will outperform any other card locked to 150w

[dapper marlin]

anyone?

[golden talon]

no

[dapper marlin]

😢

[golden talon]

I sold my PC so i can get a switch

[night heron]

based but odd

[golden talon]

PC games no longer interest me ngl

[night heron]

valid ive been bored for a while

[swift idol]

I felt that.

[night heron]

now that i have adult money and a killer setup my interest in actually playing games is almost zero

[golden talon]

stuff like smash, xenoblade chronicles are games im looking forward to playing

[fluid ridge]

actually true

getting a dream setup and never using it

[swift idol]

I felt that too, once I had so much money I can buy what I wanted. I lost interest.

[gilded quest]

I've definitely done more story/rpg games on consoles

[hearty spear]

more than you'd realize

[gilded quest]

And more eSports/multiplayer on PC

[golden talon]

The last PC RPG game i played was genshin and that didnt end well

[spare shadow]

spider man highly reccomend, god of war i reccomend, zleda breath of the wild i highly reccomend you emulate on pc, skyrim is highly reccomended lol you can play 700 hours and still find new quests, assasins creed games are meh imo, witcher 3 is reccomended

[fluid ridge]

you gotta be poor first to enjoy and understand the riches

[night heron]

it's a right of passage

[golden talon]

elden ring is probably the best pc game

[night heron]

you have to play games on a shitty setup first

[fluid ridge]

also did anyone else buy affinity's V2 shit

i spent 140 dollars yesterday buying the whole suite

[swift idol]

I am saving £325,000 for a house so PC parts are the least of my worries, being an adult is boring

[golden talon]

Im saving for a new car and mods now

[fluid ridge]

why are your houses so cheap

[night heron]

oh god being a car guy is extremely expensive

[golden talon]

Thats why Im tryna cut down on other recreational stuff

Yes, insanely expensive

[night heron]

i could get a million dollar los angeles home for $120,000 where i live

[swift idol]

Avoid living near trash cities and live in the based country away from the city culture

[full fossil]

same here with .NET development

i have 18 blade servers in my basement ^^

[night heron]

$500,000 gets you a movie star mansion in the country or a modest simple home in a big city

[fluid ridge]

my parent's house was 1.4m

it is NOT a mansion i can assure you

[golden talon]

$50K gets me in my dream car and another $10K gets me 750 hp

[spare shadow]

500k can get you a mansion in the right area

[night heron]

i could get a mansion for like $250k

[fluid ridge]

the average house here is $1,148,900

[spare shadow]

heck you can buy a house in detroit for 10k

[night heron]

like 3000sqft 3 stories and several acres of land

[swift idol]

UK is extremely overpopulated with a mad housing crisis so our prices will probably sky rocket higher.

[fluid ridge]

i live in vancouver

[spare shadow]

i ahte using epic games launcher
