My bed room and my office are the same room so not possible. It's how I like it

[wispy marsh]

No kidnapping!

[distant bloom]

I can move it out of my room either because it's part of the aesthetics. My entire room and espresso holder RGB is all tied into the mobo. And I spent way too much money on fans. It must be seen and admired

[wispy marsh]

I see

[vapid smelt]

I'm anti rgb

[wispy marsh]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/931960199911206945/1032558791172030524/unknown.png

[distant bloom]

I was for the longest time. Now I have embedded rgb into my desk

[wispy marsh]

I'm not really an rgb fan

[vapid smelt]

I don't have a room heating problem

[distant bloom]

I have a rave everytime I make espresso though so I enjoy it

[wispy marsh]

There are no rooms

[vapid smelt]

Precisely

[full fossil]

is that the sidiz 50?

[wispy marsh]

Speaking of no rooms

I miss my hotel room in shangri-la

[pliant karma]

same I slowly have gotten rid of it from my setup. PC is the last thing with rgb but haha my motherboard has a switch on it that I can use to turn off all the ARGB headers.

[distant bloom]

I'm sad presales didn't start for black friday 😦 https://atlasheadrest.com/products/future-products

[vapid smelt]

It's a $120 pos chair I got on Amazon and replacing it in 10 days

[distant bloom]

ooo! watcha getting?

[vapid smelt]

https://a.co/d/81pkkIG

[pliant karma]

nice so similar to the chair i have

[wispy marsh]

Why not a Titan or Ergohuman?

[young bloom]

what do error codes 1-2-3 mean on dell optiplex? i searched it up online and it says the real error thing should show on the display but im not getting any signal

[distant bloom]

I won't ever get a foam chair again. I got tired of wasting 200-500$ every 2-4 years

[wispy marsh]

It means that your pc is attempting to post

[young bloom]

it was stuck on it for a good hour

i also restarted multiple times

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, it's still attempting

[young bloom]

wouldnt you assume theres an issue though

[vapid smelt]

https://www.btod.com/blog/best-office-chairs-300/ because I used this guide

[full fossil]

ergonomic mesh for life

foam/cushion just holds ur farts in

[pliant karma]

Foam/solid back chairs when I had them, my back was not comfortable cause heat etc sweating. So mesh for life lol

[distant bloom]

ErgoHumans are on a different price point typically

I have the logitech Herman Miller Embody

[full fossil]

i wish the embody had a headrest

[distant bloom]

It will soon 🙂

[distant bloom]

https://atlasheadrest.com/products/future-products

[vapid smelt]

My little brother got a job reupholstery furniture so once it goes bad I'll have him fix it 😆

[full fossil]

i feel like atlas has had that up for like two years now

[distant bloom]

You don't really need a headrest though tbh. headrest can kind of ruin proper prosture AFAIK

[distant bloom]

Welp, that ya go x) That is nice

[full fossil]

i lean back and have horrible posture cus i sit in my chair all day memeing and playing video games its fine

[distant bloom]

they have =.=

but on their facebook, they say it coming really really soon so hopefully it's true

[distant bloom]

I wish I could lay back and play video games. I'm a hunch back too and same when I'm driving

[pliant karma]

got this one. Lazyboy chair. Cushion is way better then my previous chair lol

[distant bloom]

Leaning forward = more skill

[wispy marsh]

But ergohuman has "human"

[wind pulsar]

#antirgb

[wispy marsh]

Is that true?

[distant bloom]

I have no pain when sitting down for extended period of time with this chair. It is an amazing chair

[distant bloom]

Aren't they 700-1000$ chairs normally?

[pliant karma]

yea

seen 2 of them at my mom's work. 2 plant managers had them

[wispy marsh]

I was under the assumption they were 400~500 because they sell for 900 here and the rate+markup is usually 1.6~1.8

[distant bloom]

If you can get it from a non consumer distrubator, the prices can vastly differ. I've sold a few HM chairs by doing that

[pliant karma]

ergo human also sells more then chairs lol

[distant bloom]

They can't post prices online though so you have to usually know about them. Their contracts forbid them because retail wouldn't be able to compete

[wispy marsh]

Herman millers are designer chairs that starts at 3,000, I think

[distant bloom]

Their office chairs are not that expensive

[pliant karma]

Yes, but used market you can score them for much lesss

[wispy marsh]

I just want a good ergohuman chair

[distant bloom]

The embody retail is 1600$ but you can get it from non consumer channels for 900-1200$ depending on fabric and custom options

[wispy marsh]

Embody is the logitech one innit

[distant bloom]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hermanmiller/wiki/faq/

The subbreddit has something I posted once randomly in their discord lol about if you should be from authorized dealer or retail

[distant bloom]

Yeah. Although the embody existed before the logitech version

The logitech version has an additional like 1-2mm foam copper infused layer that the other embodies before it did not have and the blue back

[wispy marsh]

I see

[distant bloom]

I spent way too much time researching the chair market when I got fed up with office chairs.

Stay away from foam office chairs is the biggest thing I experienced and realized. Doesn't matter how much you spend, the foam cannot maintain it's form

[wispy marsh]

I bought an ikea chair bout dour years vack and it is syatring to test my parience

[hollow wave]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1045693682747191368

[wispy marsh]

It wad the ikea markus

Is is* the ikea markus

[distant bloom]

I never owned anything from Ikea x)

[wispy marsh]

Me on the contrary

[distant bloom]

I watched a bunch of my friends tried to build ikea stuff and watch a bunch of dudes yelling at each other about how to do things properly

ultimate entertainment

It's the same when they grill too

[wispy marsh]

Which one did you marry?

[distant bloom]

None of them

[wispy marsh]

[distant bloom]

I wouldn't marry a guy anyways short of maybe like exceptional perks

and that sounds really awful when I think of it

[wispy marsh]

It's alright

Yvonne had a really tough time with Linus before he became reasonable successful, too

[distant bloom]

I don't know them so I have no idea lol

[wispy marsh]

This is Linus's server though?

[long briar]

well they were hs sweethearts tho no?

Linus did well in high school

[wispy marsh]

Not really

He had a different gf back then iirc

[long briar]

ohh riight

[vital elm]

Should I get 2077?

[distant bloom]

I've watched his content since NCIX. It got me into computer and learning about them back then. I just don't pretend I know someone that i've never met or had contact with

[long briar]

but yvonne was with him by the time he was pretty high up in ncix's ranks no?

[wispy marsh]

Teue

[wispy marsh]

I don't know. Don't fear the reaper.

[distant bloom]

2077 was okay

[wispy marsh]

It felt really bad for me

Because nothing good ever happens in NC

[distant bloom]

2077 post 1.6 patch. I stopped playing after an hour in 1.0

[wispy marsh]

1.61 is really good

Pedestrians start holding things like food, drinks and umbrellas in their hands

[distant bloom]

I think the game itself is bland. Although I made a mistake and picked netrunner. I was the most OP thing ever

[wispy marsh]

FSR 2.1 for AMD makes medium RT playable at 1440 on 6800xt

[distant bloom]

After level 10 on hardest difficulty, I was invinsible

Never used FSR, but I actually don't like DLSS

[wispy marsh]

I went that route because of my stealth antics, plus watchdogs

[distant bloom]

Although for SP games, it's okay. But competeitve games? Hell no

the technology is super cool, don't get me wrong

[wispy marsh]

Cool and Intelligence is all you need to cheese everyone

Irritating bosses? Int

Spread-out enemies? Cool

[distant bloom]

one shot everything with system shock

[fluid ridge]

anyone want to proofread my paper

[distant bloom]

It took longer to loot an area of enemies than to kill them. Like 10-20x as long if not longer

[fluid ridge]

my professor is absolute pain in the ass

[vital elm]

tree fiddy

[wispy marsh]

It's got a pretty long CD against a lone enemy tho

[vital elm]

I have a degree

[distant bloom]

I downloaded 'almost auto loot' mod to solve that issue

[fluid ridge]

absolutely trippin balls bro

[vital elm]

On a serious note, what's the subject @fluid ridge

[wispy marsh]

So, yes @vital elm. Buy 2077

[fluid ridge]

it is a analysis of Marx's Das Kapital through a historical perspective

[distant bloom]

Then I had more hacks to do damage, but otherwise my build was a proc build. Everything I did reduced CDs

[fluid ridge]

it's a paper for my history elective

[wispy marsh]

Miss otaku and I here quite like it, from the looks of things

[vital elm]

Ew, Marx was smelly.

[fluid ridge]

i agree

marx was a hobo who wanted free stuff

[wispy marsh]

The int trees were godlike for cd

[vital elm]

I mean, unironically, he didn't bathe.

[fluid ridge]

reading kapital should count as psychological torture

some form of crime against the mind

[distant bloom]

and 45+ legendary street cred cyberdeck

[wispy marsh]

Don't have enough Body unless I used the cli

[distant bloom]

Street cred exp was wacked though. I was level 50 street cred at level 22

[wispy marsh]

Same

It gives way too much exp for the amount of jobs there are

[distant bloom]

I also killed everything on my sight since I just had to upload a single hack

[wise tundra]

I got an idea. My network switch is only 100Mbit, so could I connect two cables from my router to my switch and get 200Mbit? The router is running pfsense and the switch is manageable

[wispy marsh]

Even after I hit 50, the grind to finish all the jobs and ncpd's are unreal

[wispy marsh]

Provided both can do trunking

[distant bloom]

I tried to grind those police report activities to get 100% complete but I said fuck it even with a fast travel mod

[wispy marsh]

The incomplete achievements I have left are combat-related

Or the cars

[distant bloom]

It was way too much. It was poor game design and it had like no value other than 'go here, kill 10 enemies in 5 seconds, run back to fast point, repeat''

[wispy marsh]

Nah, I actually enjoy doing it

It was in it's own way, a break away from the "rush" of the msq

[distant bloom]

If that is the type of grind you enjoy, then that's awesome.

I did all the side missions first, then I did msq

The best sidequest was the vending machine one

[wispy marsh]

I went on a side jobs spree after the wastelands kidnapping

[wispy marsh]

That was a sad one

Aight gonna go off in a bit

[distant bloom]

I had mixed feelings on it. Glad I had max intelligence to know it wasn't what we were lead to believe

[indigo beacon]

How tf do u run an ethernet cable threw ur walls???

[vapid smelt]

A thing called Fishing wire

[lilac sage]

run ethernet through ur walls the same way you run power through ur walls.

[wind pulsar]

A drill, fishing lines, lots of patience

It's a huge pain in the ass regardless unless you have it installed beforehand

[vapid smelt]

This too

[lilac sage]

or be lazy and just go thru ur attic and drill a hole through the ceiling instead

[indigo beacon]

should i just run it under my carpet?

[lilac sage]

you can tuck them under the baseboards possibly

depends on how bad your contractor was

[indigo beacon]

i cant do that because there are many doors on the side

[wind pulsar]

That makes it more painful, but you can also just run it along the door frame

[vapid smelt]

Drill a hole in the door way ez

[indigo beacon]

is it ok if i just not hide it

[lilac sage]

yes

[indigo beacon]

Ok im doin that

[lilac sage]

some ppl dont hide their flaws

its okay. it just depends on the type of person

[indigo beacon]

some people also dont spend hours hiding a cable

[vapid smelt]

Just pay someone

[fluid ridge]

i just dislike british people generally

for no reason other than the fact that they are british

[steep trellis]

i dislike them on the basis of being quebecois

[fluid ridge]

british people are not quebecois

quebecois are second class citizens here in canada (as they should be)

[steep trellis]

yeah but theyve treated quebecois terribly

other groups much much worse tho

[steep trellis]

nah im chill w/ quebec

[fluid ridge]

i strongly dislike quebec

[steep trellis]

they speak sensical french, they dont use dumb expressions, sensible alcohol laws

parisian, cajun, belge, and swiss french is bullhocky

quebecois and africain is the right mix of anglais and french

[fossil frost]

commonly known as "attention seeking"

[whole hedge]

commonly also kown as having life on easy mode and given everything

i just want to make friends

[fossil frost]

i live my life as easy as possible, still have friends, still have crippling anxiety... i just dont go round using my anxiety as a conversation starter or a way of getting people to look at me.. i use other things... like "hello" and "wtf are you doing", or just generally joining in an ongoing conversation

[eager notch]

Then get off the internet and go interact with people in real life

[whole hedge]

i can’t i am disabled

[full fossil]

id wager money on malicious intent but im also just

[sonic barn]

Do you need a hand

[whole hedge]

no i need friends

i am lookimg for my fellow nerd lassie

[sonic barn]

[fossil frost]

ive noticed a very minor inconvenience to myself, in the uk, miles away from any conflict... that is related to the war in Ukraine

[eager notch]

I don't get crippling anxiety like ever which is really quite nice

[fossil frost]

the 2 cities either side of me, their flightpath's have been changed because they cant head over northern europe anymore, and all head further south before heading east... so now the flight path is over my house, where it never used to be anywhere near me

[fossil frost]

so now i have to put up with a very very very mild rumble every so often...

[eager notch]

Yeah, if I'm in the UK, how do I carry like 300 pounds in my wallet?

We would start a civil war if it was that much

[vapid smelt]

Ikr!?

[full fossil]

civil war with who lol 😄

[vapid smelt]

Gas company

[full fossil]

thats just regular war

[sonic barn]

Blame uniper or your governments

Oh wait they own uniper

🤓

[fossil frost]

it was $6.87 about a year ago... then went nuts when the war in ukraine started, even though we produce and refine our own oil

cash grab from the government and their friends in the oil companies

[sonic barn]

Market manipulation

[full fossil]

everyones cash grabbing

[eager notch]

Imma guess you live in the Netherlands or UK

[fossil frost]

UK

UK own the north sea, netherlands are just allowed to use it when we let them 😄

[sonic barn]

Hell crude has to be traded in USD still

[fossil frost]

or so our government seem to believe anyway

[full fossil]

i bet the netherlands would womp the uk

not that i want to see that happen or anything i just think they are more vikinigish

[fossil frost]

brexit, followed by covid followed by ukraine, all overseen by an incompetent government owned by billionaires, is why the uk is the political joke it currently is, and why everything is so fucking expensive

[eager notch]

Well, I feel bad currently for anyone who holds anything but freedom bucks because pretty much every currency has such a shit exchange rate to USD

[sonic barn]

If there's no regulation on pricing, then they'll get jacked up

[fossil frost]

£1 == $1.21 (it was more, but we fucked that up too)

[full fossil]

i thought usd went above it for a little too

or are pounds not euros

[sonic barn]

If we all withdrawal from banks around the world, we'll crash the system

[fossil frost]

there is regulation, but the same government and the same billionaires control the price cap, so they have realised they can just bump it up when they want to squeeze the bollocks a bit more

[full fossil]

not really, fiat only matters so much

[sonic barn]

UK nat gas go brrrr 10$ to 400$ then down in a couple days

[eager notch]

Well, at least the Euro is above par with USD which is thankfully better than it was in early November when it was like 0.96 euro to USD

[fossil frost]

yep, and its getting back to normal, but the gas companies are saying "we have to keep wholesale prices up as if it was still $400 now though, just in case", and the government said "well, that huge sack of money you gave me has nothing to do with this, but we agree"

[sonic barn]

2yr/10yr for USA looks awful since June

[fossil frost]

everything looks awful, everywhere, because billionaires are allowed to be a thing

[sonic barn]

First time it's ever been this bad

[vapid smelt]

What's the point in driving in the UK the roads are so small

[sonic barn]

I feel like soon we should all stop buying useless crap for Christmas

[full fossil]

i mean you can start doing that now

[fossil frost]

we dont need to inflate the size of what is between our legs with the size of our cars... that.. and we can produce engines that are 2 litres, and put out 400bhp, where americans need 8 litres for 250bhp... so, dont need as big an engine to go zoom

[sonic barn]

I don't buy anything

Except stuff that lasts and I need

[full fossil]

i imagine a lot of people would gladly upgrade to energy efficient new vehciles if they werent broke and already invested in old technology

[vapid smelt]

It's true I'm jealous of your hot hatchbacks

[sonic barn]

Been using a hyper x cloud 2 for like 8 years and only replaced cushions once

[eager notch]

And this is why I think energy prices should be regulated, where I live, it takes 3 to 6 months for my energy (both electric and natural gas) company to raise their utility rates and only if they have sufficient reason to that they can convince an independent government board that they should be able to raise the price.

They have been turned down on multiple occasions by my state's energy board

[sonic barn]

Commodities are regulated though /s

In my province energy is regulated

[fossil frost]

if there is a rally car version of a car, then, thats the car im probably going to look at buying, because, it will handle well, will be comfortable to drive, and be quick enough. and rally cars are mostly hot hatch, or at the biggest, something like a ford focus (european version, not the amercian version)

[sonic barn]

At least hydro bills

I agree with you there, I lived in Orlando Florida for about a year and I hated the traffic and the number of people so I moved back home to the Pacific Northwest and my home city of 25,000 people which is big enough to have a decent amount of amenities like restaurants and shit, but small enough that even right at 5 pm, I can still drive anywhere in the city in 10-15 minutes

[near nymph]

I'm traveling to Orlando... is AT&T good?

I know T-Mobile aint that good there

[eager notch]

At &t is fine, I switched back to Verizon because at&t is trash where I live, but it was fine in Orlando

Some life pro tips if you want to live comfortably in the US,

1. be born wealthy

[sonic barn]

My province spent 90 mill plus on language laws

[near nymph]

that sounds like Quebec problem

[vapid smelt]

Language laws?

[fossil frost]

2. be white

[sonic barn]

Trudeau doesn't ofc cough we charity

[fossil frost]

2b) be proper white, like, from english... no scottish or irish or anything else like that

[near nymph]

cool but the health care is covered by provincial governments. also i know that guy is a dirt bag... but still

[sonic barn]

Federal budget should be allocated to that

[near nymph]

If I get hurt in ON. the BC government will be billed for it

[eager notch]

Well I'm good but my dog is screwed

[sonic barn]

We should have 15 federal hospitals for 10k per province

[near nymph]

yeah... sure your not factoring in the fact that nurses and doctors aren't working in Canada because they are usually over worked since there are not enough qualified nurses and doctors in canada

[sonic barn]

Except for low pop ones

[near nymph]

wtf no we shouldn't have federal hospitals.

[sonic barn]

Yes

Imo we should

free health care funded by the government works in a lot of places around the world, and works very well... americans have been trained to think its a bad thing, by the very people making an absolute fortune on insurance based health care

[sonic barn]

Everyone gets a free pc

[eager notch]

What about sign language?

[sonic barn]

Even china built hospitals for like 5k people in less than a month

A ton of them too

[fossil frost]

you may as well have said "russia did this" in the 80s with that then... you have just turned off all the americans with that... too racist to accept other countries do things better... especially china and russia

[eager notch]

Except that insurance is kind of just a shittier version of single payer, because with health insurance, it's not like I'm directly paying for my health care

Wonder when Nintendo will upgrade their switch to one without a 2015 GPU

[fossil frost]

same in the uk, even though we have a full party who has to do stuff between them, their only concern is the next election

although, right now, the party and prime minister in power, is desperately trying to avoid an election, because they are going to lose, very heavily

so they are making up all the lies they can half justify, to try and swing favour back towards them

The switch was already underpowered when it came out in 2017, but right now they no reason to upgrade considering the fact that people will buy rereleased games for full price even on an underpowered console

go to your card company, show them the evidence, they will claw it back for oyu

[eager notch]

Depends on the game, I found breath of the wild horribly boring

[small zephyr]

well right now im chat with incompetent seemingly underpaid indian support guy

lets see if it does something if not i contact my bank

[fossil frost]

they have a set script to give you the runaround,

[full fossil]

which games in particular? not hating just curious

[near nymph]

if you have the card company claw it back for you... there is a risk of being banned from amazon

[fossil frost]

the 8 or 9 games that nintendo continuously recycle, every generation, sometimes 2 - 3 times per generation

[fossil frost]

no, there isnt. ive clawed back a LARGE single amount from amazon, account still fine

[near nymph]

wtf did they do to you?

[fossil frost]

i bought a 5950x, amazon sent me a 5800x, i told them they sent me the wrong cpu, they asked me to send it back... so i sent it back... they then said they wont refund me because i sent them a 5800x rather than a 5950x... which is what they sent me... they now had my money, and the incorrect CPU back with them, they refused to refund, and refused to even send the 5800x back to me. so i went to the card company, told them what happened, sent them the info they asked for... they clawed it back

[near nymph]

tf

[fossil frost]

5950x this time last year too... at the pre price drop prices

[inland oracle]

same thing happened to me a year ago still haven't got a refund

[fossil frost]

amazon are happy to refund any low value items, no problem at all.. anything high value, then fuck you, you get fuck all

[inland oracle]

been in a live chat and calls with countless people

[pulsar anvil]

lads i need some help
i bought a new monitor on sale from box.co.uk
and i have recieved no conformation email or reciept
their help service is out of hours as well
i could wait till they are next available (monday) but by then the sale would probably be over
or i could buy another one, see if the same problem occurs (if the second order works i can just issue a refund on the first one, if they both end up working i can just refund one and if none work then i can just contact support on monday)

[fossil frost]

amazon wont give it to you, you have no chance with amazon, you should have gone to your card company within 14 days (the limit most card companies have)

[near nymph]

If you used a Credit Card

bank will help ya out... debit... dunno

[fossil frost]

noope, mine was done by debit card

[near nymph]

my bank doesn't give a shit unless it's a credit card lol

[fossil frost]

you require more evidence for clawing back debit transactions than with credit transactions

[fossil frost]

wait until monday, explain that you bought it, box.co.uk are not arseholes, if the order doesnt exist on the system, they will likely honour the sale price

[hollow drift]

any good black friday deals for gaming laptops??

[pulsar anvil]

thanks for the advice man

had a similar experiance with amazon where i bought a keybaord
they sent me a kids lego set
i told them i will return the lego but they have to send me the item i paid for
they said they cant and just returned me the money
but by then the sale ended so i had to wait for so long again

which is why i was kinda anxious

[fossil frost]

if you want to feel better, log on to your bank, see if there is a pending transaction to box.co.uk... if there isnt.. not a bad thing, sometimes places dont pre-auth the money, some places do... but if they have, then you know for certain they got the order

[inland oracle]

did the money leave your bank

[pulsar anvil]

i used paypal
and the money was taken from my account

[pulsar anvil]

yea^

[inland oracle]

id just wait a few days

or call them when next available

[pulsar anvil]

ok
thanks for the help lads

[inland oracle]

when you bought it did it take you to an order confirmation page

[pulsar anvil]

yea

[sonic barn]

pokemon (last I played fully was omega ruby and other than that there was pearl)

there was also super smash bros

[pulsar anvil]

but when i confirmed the order it took me to the home page

[sonic barn]

which was ok and mario kart

[pulsar anvil]

it took the money but gave no reciept

[near nymph]

calm down...

[inland oracle]

by order confirmation page i mean ones that are like "thanks for your order, your order number is..."

[fossil frost]

if you used paypal, paypal is usually implemented so that the order is created, then the payment is taken, and then the confirmation postback from paypal sets the order status to paid for... so i would say that if the money has gone through paypal, they have your order

[near nymph]

u used paypal...if they fuck you... they get fucked up

it hurts getting charge backs from paypal lol it's like a $25 fee or something on the seller's end

[fossil frost]

and yeah, clawing back via paypal is easier than clawing back through the bank

you only have to create a hint of fraud, and paypal unleash a ton of napalm on the retailer

[sonic barn]

I used paypal for ebay before and fees are extremely low if you want a business account

of the 5k I made I only paid 200$ in fees

over 1000 transactions and refunds for some stuff

[near nymph]

they changed it up lol

[sonic barn]

this was 2019

[fossil frost]

paypal run very cartel like now. you get charged up the arse for everything

[full fossil]

its thanksgiving and blackfridya they are closed

even if they arent us based

[fossil frost]

box**.co.uk**

[full fossil]

yes thats why i said even if they arent us based

[inland oracle]

why would an online retailer be closed on black friday

they have black friday deals on

[fossil frost]

they are uk based, they dont have anybody in the office to take calls, likely after about 6pm

we have things called laws... specifically, laws that are supposed to stop companies from exploiting workers... (novel i know, USA doesnt have them)... so people would have gone home...

[inland oracle]

i am in the uk dud

[fossil frost]

then you should already know

[pulsar anvil]

laws are merely a construct

i just ignore them

[inland oracle]

we weren't talking about the time the dude said "its black friday they are closed"

[fossil frost]

yeah, they are closed, because its half 10

[inland oracle]

are you reading what im typing

[vapid smelt]

And chickens are food

[pulsar anvil]

not if i eat people

[fossil frost]

yes, i am, and im answering that they are closed... because of what time it is

[full fossil]

Wtf

[inland oracle]

i cant tell if ur doing this on purpose or not

[fossil frost]

i can definitely tell if you are an idiot or not

[inland oracle]

but someone said: "they are closed because it's black friday"
so i said: "why would they be closed on black friday"
and then you said "it's past 6pm so they are closed"

i did not mention the time. i wasn't talking about the fact they are closed right now, i was replying to the guy made it seem like they would be closed all day on black friday

had to spell it out for you

[fossil frost]

im even more certain on which side you fall now

[inland oracle]

ok ur trolling

[vapid smelt]

My work is open an hour longer for black Friday

[vapid smelt]

Chickens eat chicken if you feed it to them

[fossil frost]

chickens eat chickens if you dont feed them

[vapid smelt]

That too

[fossil frost]

part of what makes factory farming horrendous

[pulsar anvil]

i think chickens literally eat anything they can
i could be wrong tho

[full fossil]

I was running windows update and all froze

Please what do I do

[fossil frost]

restart, it will clean its self up

[full fossil]

Ok

You sure bro

I turn off with button?

[fossil frost]

yeah, 99% of the time, it just cleans it up and its fine

[full fossil]

U owe me a pc

If anything happens

[fossil frost]

1% of the time, you have a dead install... but either way... if you are that 1%, its already dead, and restarting it just shows you that

[full fossil]

bro

[fossil frost]

worst comes to worst, you reinstall windows, it takes about 15 minutes even on a shit pc... takes 5 minutes on a good pc

[full fossil]

Hell no

I have custom windows

When I start up takes 0.8GB ram

[fossil frost]

no you dont, you have windows... and you installed a couple of things, and removed a couple of things... its not custom. its just windows

just reboot, or dont... i dont care

[lavish quest]

its custom windows bro

[full fossil]

No i got custom windows os like

[lavish quest]

OEM? The N version?

[full fossil]

no I have

[fossil frost]

custom windows, would be microsoft customising it, for you... otherwise, you have a stock version of windows that you stripped some bits out of... doesnt make it "customised"... its still base stock windows

[full fossil]

oh damn

thank god it resumed somehow

[full fossil]

no for real

wait look

[fossil frost]

according to your definition of customising, installing drivers is customised... so... ive just customised my windows too

[full fossil]

i use

ghost spectre

[fossil frost]

i uninstalled some of the stock apps too.. so its even more customised

[full fossil]

so youre willingly putting backdoors into your kernel,

🥴

[hollow drift]

should I get gigabyte aprus 5 se4 or msi gp66 leopard

[full fossil]

msi

funk

[hollow drift]

the aorus one doesn't have mux switches but the msi one does

[full fossil]

if i was backdoored trust me my wallet money were gone

noones backdooring you for money fam

trust me

[fossil frost]

just looking at ghost spectre now... literally one of dumbest things ive ever seen anybody willingly do to their computer

[full fossil]

you think?

and is windows 11 good?

good is a subjective word

im so tired of people asking if something is "good" 😔

[fossil frost]

win11, is fine, this ghost spectre is literally just a script that automates the uninstalling of certain things, and the setting of certain registry settings. and installing back doors into the OS that can let people access your computer for use in a botnet

[jovial depot]

My dad got ants in his car...

[full fossil]

jump it off a cliff and roll out of it safely before it gets air

[jovial depot]

My dad just copped a 65 inch tv for 229 just before it went out of stock

[fossil frost]

but yeah, feel free to carry on using it, but dont think you customised an OS, because you didnt, you ran the childrens version of a process that anybody could do, and are getting owned because of it

[jovial depot]

I think I killed most of em. I spent 39 minutes squishing them

[full fossil]

ngl you give me super weird vibes

why would you squish ants for 39 minutes

[jovial depot]

Cause I hate ants with a passion

[full fossil]

yea but u spent 39 minutes manually killing ants

when you could just like.... ya know

not be dumb about it and get some ant spray

[jovial depot]

I can't drive and my father is sick

[full fossil]

but thats enough from me wanting to see your stuff lol 👋🏾 good luck fam

Plus I didn't have anything else to do so why not yk

do mux switches make a huge difference

[full fossil]

yes

[sonic barn]

I got a lenovo thinkpad x13 gen 1 amd for 500 cad

[sonic barn]

and a 9700kf/rtx 2070 super pc I remote into it usually

[hollow drift]

I found a pc with i7 12700h 3070 with no mux switches and a pc with i7 11800h 3070 but it has mux switch, so which is more beneficial for me?

[sonic barn]

kde neon on laptop and windows for the pc

wrong reply but still a pc + remote = best of both worlds

[full fossil]

your framing the same gigabyte vs. msi question in a way to somehow make people want to pick something else?

the msi is better.

if you want the gigabyte get it.

eh idk but if ppl like msi better then I'll get it

if I get 400 fps in a game but I don't have mux switch then how much fps would I get

[full fossil]

you should google what a mux switch is

cus you seem to not know what it is and its not the determining factor in the quality of gigabyte vs. msi but a mux switch is a reaally nice thing to have

[hollow drift]

I only want it bc I can get higher fps

[full fossil]

then get it dude

you can return it if you dont like it

Hey fellow nerds. If your American hood you had a good thanksgiving for the rest of the world I hope you had a good random week in November.

Yeah… wasn’t expecting that but honestly valid response

[carmine scarab]

oh just realized no shit posting allowed in public chat

[eager notch]

People will not ditch their phones just for the dumpster fire that is Twitter.

Hmmm 🤔

[full fossil]

im so sick of seeing things dealing with elon and/or trump

elon is crashing twitter cus the ability to quickly give information out hurts a lot of regimes

[eager notch]

I'm just so fascinated seeing Twitter get even worse that I can't stop watching

[full fossil]

twitter wasnt even bad if you used it what it was designed for: lewds

and breaking news

facebook shouldve been the name to face garbage social media internet thing but zucker lol

aka this is why face to name social media is bad

[slim salmon]

I just follow a bunch of people who only talk about gaming. It's nice to go see the chatter when something's coming out that I'm interested in

[runic lagoon]

We’re on social media….

[full fossil]

facebook amrginally pigeon holed people together but it got so bad with advertisements it got .... uhh

[eager notch]

Just whenever I think Twitter can't get worse, it somehow does which is amazing to me

[full fossil]

DiScOrD iS SoCiAl MedIA

yea post your face and address fam

[real stratus]

Do you think twitter or facebook will die?

[full fossil]

everything dies

[runic lagoon]

Companies don’t die. They just get bought out.

[eager notch]

That's like calling YouTube social media,

[fossil frost]

yes, but... only in their current form, their values are too large to completely fail as companies now, they are here forever

[real stratus]

Ugh

[full fossil]

people said that about yahoo and myspace

but i guess it wasnt wrong they are still alive

[eager notch]

Tell that to myspace

[runic lagoon]

It is, but YouTube is more video focused. Vs discord, twitter, Facebook is more peer to peer.

[fossil frost]

yahoo still exists, myspace was never worth hundreds of billions of dollars

[full fossil]

discord is not peer to peer

[vivid drift]

Zombie companies

[full fossil]

twitter is marginally peer to peer

facebook is very "who are you"

[full fossil]

myspace shouldve been, myspace was lit

[runic lagoon]

But like Facebook video is week in comparison to YouTube.

[full fossil]

i wasnt comparing youtube to facebook but you compared facebook to discord

which are both badly tangent

[fossil frost]

also, myspace was designed with an exit strategy, and the founder sold and got out, as soon as they got a reasonable offer, which was their exit strategy... zuckerberg doesnt have an exit strategy for facebook, he wants more data, more power, more money

[full fossil]

i dont think zuck does want it anymore but he got stuck with it lol

[real stratus]

Well Facebook is a software company is trying to be a hardware company

[full fossil]

🧠 🥫

[eager notch]

The real question is why, there's a shit ton more money in software than hardware

[runic lagoon]

They’re really more in the human data.

[fossil frost]

facebook has a board of directors and share holders, and he is the face of the company, and the company )and he) have a legal duty to do whatever is best for share holders, and given that he is the face of the company, him leaving would devalue the stock, which could lead him to some quite big legal action

[full fossil]

cant run the software without any hardware

[fossil frost]

generalised hardware is approaching its hard limit... we are going to start seeing more and more specialised hardware

[runic lagoon]

Aren’t they part of that open server standard?

[eager notch]

Then why are there only like 3 companies in the world that manufacture computer chips?

[full fossil]

no. seriously. my statement is fact. if you dont have something to run software, you cant run software, aka the hardware

[full fossil]

not sure the point. unless we start putting neural chips into brains at birth

[fossil frost]

because fabbing chips is incredibly expensive... and... there are plenty more than that

[full fossil]

but the contactless tribes on that island in the ocean NEED my software

[fossil frost]

there are just a limited few that are large multi-national companies

[full fossil]

ok 🤔

[runic lagoon]

https://www.opencompute.org

[full fossil]

you running this on your brain?

[eager notch]

Pretty much only Samsung, TSMC, and Intel manufacture anything smaller than 10 nm

[full fossil]

you need hardware tylor. stop pinging me though. im not a fan of ur tangent

yes software generates income. you need hardware to run software. period.

[fossil frost]

open compute is just a promise to share the hardware standards and all agree to use the same types of hardware... doesnt mean that they cant make new hardware and add that to the list

[runic lagoon]

I don’t disagree about hardware. I’m just saying they’ve been in hardware for a while.

[fossil frost]

not everything needs to go that small, asics can outperform quite a lot of generalist hardware, and are nowhere close to being fabbed at 10nm

[full fossil]

theyve? who?

[real stratus]

You don’t need to make the hardware to make the software tho

[full fossil]

the point was you need hardware. thats all.

[pseudo shoal]

need help ith me pc

[fossil frost]

you dont need to do, but if you control the whole ecosystem, it makes it easier to make the software

[full fossil]

you can virtualize stuff yes. but if i throw you on an island with literally nothing, you arent running software. you arent running anything

[fossil frost]

makes it more efficient too

[real stratus]

That’s true

[pseudo shoal]

[full fossil]

you were pinging me in bad faith

Lots of companies just do aws, like Netflix. 👍

[full fossil]

you can not run software without hardware. period.

[fossil frost]

you think amazon dont have their own ARM chips running a lot of their own internal servers and management servers?

[full fossil]

hardware can be as basic as a phone. you need some physical thing to do compute things

[desert elk]

[full fossil]

slickdeal is a good site

[real stratus]

50$ of a series s on Amazon I think

What are you looking for.

[edgy moss]

Why are all the 4k monitors IPS

smh.

[desert elk]

New laptop

[real stratus]

Oh

[desert elk]

All the deals are a bit mid

[fossil frost]

amazon dont just focus on x86 on its own... they do GPGPU, ARM, RISCV, they even do architectureless instances if you use an interpreted language like JS, you just say "i wanna run js", and you get handed whatever architecture is cheapest

[runic lagoon]

I don’t think they’re all 4k. But like if you want gaming. It’s more likely to be ips.

[full fossil]

you still need something to open up the interface or application or whatever

[edgy moss]

Like who buys a 4k60 monitor for gaming response times. I want a VA!!!!

[full fossil]

just get a c1

[fossil frost]

im agreeing with you that you need hardware, and that opencompute means absolutely fuck all

[runic lagoon]

And those glorious nvidiea a100 servers. 💸

[full fossil]

i know was just highlighting our agreement

[edgy moss]

Not sure what that is, but if it’s not under 300 I probably won’t buy it

[fossil frost]

you are an idiot

[full fossil]

ur moving the goal post now 😄

[runic lagoon]

What they’re good servers.

[full fossil]

but no you arent getting 4k ncieness under 300 this year

[fossil frost]

"I want a $1000 monitor, but im unwilling to pay more than $300 for it... and im going to cry unless somebody else finds it for me"

[edgy moss]

Today there was a 200 dollar Samsung 4k VA. It was 50% off

I think same way but wanted to ask

Its 200 bucks but inzone is 250

[full fossil]

ive only heard of logitech so logitech

[surreal cargo]

👍

[fossil frost]

all are decent, the gpro is by far the best on that list, all are over priced though

[runic lagoon]

Have you looked at SteelSeries? They have a headset with hot swap-able batteries. It’s super popular with streamers.

[full fossil]

hot swap batts sound nice

[surreal cargo]

Which model is that?

[surreal cargo]

Oh that come with nova pro and other pro models

They are 300+ bucks

[edgy moss]

Hmmm a bit rude

[full fossil]

they werent wrong

maybe a bit rude but sometimes a hard truth will just hit you better

[fossil frost]

dont waste your money on expensive gaming headsets, buy cheap or mid range music headsets, sounds loads better and much better value for money

[edgy moss]

^

[fossil frost]

it was entirely accurate though

[lilac sage]

pirate ur music

and ur movies and ur shows

[full fossil]

discussing pirating breaks discord tos and this servers so stop typing

[edgy moss]

I mean it kinda wasn’t. Amazon was selling a 4k VA for 200

[lilac sage]

im not saying how

[runic lagoon]

There is a couple. https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro-wireless

[lilac sage]

im just saying its an option

[full fossil]

buy it

Don’t pirate stuff

[lilac sage]

Steal music from the creators

[edgy moss]

[surreal cargo]

379 bucks

[real stratus]

But why tho

[lilac sage]

go to their house and take their vinyl

[surreal cargo]

Then W for G Pro?

[lilac sage]

saves you money and you get to be famous

[real stratus]

Still hurts the creators

[lilac sage]

sure, robbery hurts ppl

[full fossil]

i just block people who talk about piracy now wish mods would start yeeting since its literally tos and server rule breaking

[lilac sage]

im not talking about it, Im talking about actual physical theft

like literally going and taking the CDs of the shelves

[fossil frost]

there is a difference between having a conversation about piracy, and having a conversation about how to pirate (which is what the TOS and rules disclaim against)

[full fossil]

reading the manual and using tools

[full fossil]

not wrong. the discussion of piracy is this: we cant talk about it. thats how the tos goes 😄

[lilac sage]

stealing CDs is alot better cuz you actually get the physical media and not a license

[fossil frost]

this is literally discussing piracy... the very thing you dont want people to do

[fossil frost]

this is also part of a discussion on piracy

[full fossil]

its the only discussion sanctioned by the tos

that discussing it isnt allowed

[lilac sage]

why are you discussing piracy?

im talking real theft

not some mambi pambi digital downloads

[fossil frost]

questioning the TOS and rules is against the TOS and rules

[full fossil]

im done with you as well bizz 👋🏾

[lilac sage]

Goodwill is now beating everything. 😂

[lilac sage]

well i mean it doesnt beat theft

[full fossil]

going into a goodwill is fun

[lilac sage]

but they offer alot of cheap games

and books

and ive gotten some cheap desks there

and in many cases you can steal stuff out their dumpster

[fossil frost]

sort of wish discord would allow me to assign custom names to other people, so i could refer to them as whatever i felt like

[lilac sage]

you can add notes

[vapid smelt]

"steal"

[fossil frost]

sort of feel like there would be a lot of people renamed to "Princess Snowflake" though

[lilac sage]

well dumpster diving is sometimes considered theft

even when noone wants it, like when its raw chicken

[rapid jackal]

"sometimes"

[lilac sage]

it depends on the county or city rules

[real stratus]

Why would u want raw chicken out of the dumpster anyways

[lilac sage]

its free

[runic lagoon]

The old fracking days when people dumpers dived for books. 😂

[lilac sage]

dumpster diving for food can be really gratifying

[rapid jackal]

o.0

[lilac sage]

especially now with the raised prices of goods

[fossil frost]

if you are happy to eat it, and then likely shit out your own skeleton... then yeah

[lilac sage]

well im not a chicken person most of the time

tend to go for steaks

good ive killed the chat.

[fossil frost]

not killed, just gone for a shit 🙂

[vapid smelt]

I hate black Friday

[runic lagoon]

It died on social media.

[lilac sage]

i love it because its irrelevant nowadays

as soon as online shopping became big, it died for the most part

[runic lagoon]

Some people don’t buy anything all year and wait for Black Friday.

[vapid smelt]

I work at a furniture warehouse black Friday is not dead here

[fossil frost]

because none of the deals are actually deals and they are all fake deals, because the price was jacked up over the course of the last few months, and the discounted price, is actually higher than the price it was a few months ago, except for 1 high value item they bought loads of for cheap so they could have an item to bring everyone in with

[lilac sage]

nowadays you never hear about ppl getting trampled to death on black friday so thank goodness for modern shopping

[fossil frost]

is that why you dont like it?

[runic lagoon]

Working black Friday sucks.

[vapid smelt]

They gave us Chick-fil-A at least

[runic lagoon]

I like their lemon smooth thing.

[lilac sage]

frozen lemonade

ye its good

[vapid smelt]

Chicken sandwiches, cookies,and chips

[runic lagoon]

I worked for a large company. They didn’t give us free food. But I did get a free smart phone.

[lilac sage]

im a wendy's frosty type of person tho

[vapid smelt]

Chocolate only right?!

[tight marlin]

I love timepieces

[runic lagoon]

Wendy’s needs boba straws. Because those normal straws don’t work.

[lilac sage]

ive dabbled in both. sometimes I mix fruit syrup with the vanilla and get some fruit flavors

like strawberry preserves

but yes chocolate is superior

strawberry when they had it was not too abd either

[vapid smelt]

My grand pa only gets vanilla

[lilac sage]

if you leave vanilla and let it warm up it gets really bubbly

weird

[runic lagoon]

Vanilla is fire.

[lilac sage]

i like my exotic flavors for ice cream

[surreal cargo]

How is HyperX Cloud Alpha DTS ?

[lilac sage]

like they have an eggnog flavor for bluebell icecream

[vapid smelt]

Don't get gaming headphones

[surreal cargo]

What should i get for gaming then

[vapid smelt]

If you want a good sounding headphones buy a $130 studio ones and get s mod mic

Hell $80 studio headphones

[surreal cargo]

Does it have spatial?

[fossil frost]

you have already been told... dont buy gaming stuff for audio. get cheaper real music headphones... they are far better than any gaming headphones... $100 studio headphones sound better than any $500 gaming headphones

[surreal cargo]

For example? I dont know about headphones

I’m open to recommends

[summer sphinx]

can yall tell me if my money was somewhat well spent?

i5-4670,16gb ddr3,1660s, 500g, 250 ssd and 750gb hdd

psu: mwe cooler master bronze 500w

270 usd

[fossil frost]

if you want to spend fuck all? Sennheiser HD 206... if you wanna spend a bit more.. AKG K240 Studio

[surreal cargo]

Will check that

[fossil frost]

Probably best not to ask about piracy on a server that specifically says you shouldn't

[lilac sage]

maybe dont share that

especially not on an official partnered/verified server

[iron orbit]

_> It's piracy if it's on Youtube? I think this movie is like 50 years old. Didn't think it'd be piracy anymore after that much time. Edit: Dutch Snow White movie from 1955 according to Wikipedia.

[lilac sage]

ripping stuff off youtube can be considered such yes

[pine bane]

alright chat im going to build a gaming pc with nothing but parts from facebook marketplace

there are two real roads here: buy used business pc with enough room for a gpu and upgraded psu? or, go all in component by component

[runic lagoon]

Why

[pine bane]

what i want to opt for is buying a used business pc with enough room for a gpu and make modifications for better cooling. you know, with a drill, and other tools i have lying around

ah, a monitor someone wants to get rid for free. the perfect start. wait... is that tv?

uhhh yeah this won't do. this was from the windows 7 era. cant put a gpu in with that and only 4gb of ram. 500gb hdd though. $50

[runic lagoon]

But why

[vapid smelt]

Ngl I seen people find better free working PCs on the side of the road

[bronze dock]

Buying used parts on the 1 day of the year when new parts in general usually are on sale lol

[pine bane]

$120 for a custom built pc. i5 4th gen, 8gb ram, 250gb ssd

mmm maybe...? no gpu included.

"has this been sold? might consider it" i type in the messenger chat

this is the best lead so far

hmmm...

[woeful minnow]

I got better value than that a year ago

[pine bane]

$75 for a 1050ti

[tight marlin]

Well, it has to be 100 years after the creator died

[pine bane]

well lets think, chat. less than $200 for all of this. now think of the $250 series s xbox. the delta cost to performance isnt working out is it. but on the other hand this a pc

[summer sphinx]

dude i got my optiplex for 70 usd its an i5-4670 16gb ran and a 500gb ssd

[pine bane]

youre kidding me

[summer sphinx]

yes im serious my current system costs like 270 thanks to my new gpu and psu

[carmine burrow]

not bad

[runic lagoon]

After trying SD 2,0 it’s kind of a downgrade. I think it’s going to be a month before it catches up with sd 1.6

[pine bane]

alright so business computer is not working so well. maybe ill try custom parts

i gotta tell you it may just be better for me to go new

[lime cypress]

nice deal

[full fossil]

Can someone recommend me a USB-C pcie card?

How many ports

[tiny granite]

Anyone know if stealth sweatpants will come back in stock? I need them badly lol

[modern terrace]

RX580s 8gb go for 70 new

[vocal lance]

just bought an ultrawide g5

[modern terrace]

Very nice

[distant bloom]

spatial is just software processing.

any headphones you use on a computer is capable of that

[sonic barn]

regardless of the headset you choose, check out the config files for eq the headset at https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results

[runic lagoon]

Some of them use hardware encoding. But even then. You can still get a encoder for any analog headset.

[sonic barn]

you can load em with easyeffects on linux or equalizer apo on windows, however there's hesuvi for windows as well through sourceforge

[sonic barn]

spatial audio sucks compared to stereo headsets

only good for games

other than that it makes audio sound worse

[distant bloom]

Do you mean the ones that have multiple drivers in each ear?

[runic lagoon]

Those exist because to. But no I was saying they make encoder for stereo analog headsets as well.

[distant bloom]

Know an example off the top of your head? I'm just curious

[runic lagoon]

Turtle beach use to make one. Not sure if they still do. But basically a usb sound card.

[distant bloom]

Oh lmao. I'm on the same page now

It's been a long time since I've seen a soundcard or owned one

[runic lagoon]

I had the tritton ax pro when it was new. It was so uncomfortable, but sounded great for a headset. No clue on purity of sound. But it was an experimental for sure.

[full fossil]

Will a 4x PCI e card work on a 1x slot?

[restive pivot]

generally yes, just at a degraded speed

[full fossil]

Will it affect a USB-C card to the point it doesn't work?

[full fossil]

Ok

[sonic barn]

[restive pivot]

i know it works with gfx cards fine (all those crypto boards) but a data transfer device like USB im not sure

[full fossil]

I just want it to transfer photos in the future as many phones are using usb-c to usb-c.

[sonic barn]

you can transfer files over the same network

[full fossil]

With phones?

[sonic barn]

yep

at least with android

its as fast as your connection

[full fossil]

Ok

[sonic barn]

800mbps on my pixel 3

[full fossil]

My internet is 100mbps

Still I have to work with some apple stuff beacuse some members of my family use Apple.

[restive pivot]

in theory it should work, i have used 8x and 16x cards in a 1x slot. But i never done a usb card in a 1x slot. In theory PCI-E standard supports it but its upto the manufactures to implement it properly and not all do

[simple relic]

hi could anyone do a favor and send me a ss of default mouse properties pointer speed

i messed with the setting and now i don't have the default thing lol

[wispy marsh]

Sure

Create a new user and log in

There’s your default pointer speed

[gusty portal]

I'm thinking about upgrading my PC from 16 to 32 GB of RAM. Should I just get another 2x8 kit of the same model number, or should I get a 2x16 kit and resell my existing 2x8?

This is DDR4, if that makes a difference

[lilac sage]

same model 2x8

RAM doesnt sell too well used

[gusty portal]

I have a brother who's going to be building a PC, so I could sell my existing RAM to him for like $30 or so

[lilac sage]

I guess.

[gusty portal]

And if I went for a 2x16 kit, I'd go from 3000 C15 to 3200 C16. Not sure if that makes much of a difference

[lilac sage]

not much

[gusty portal]

I know there might be a difference with the Infinity Fabric speed, but I don't remember why I initially went for 3000 C15

[winter sundial]

Did Linus ever address why some of the beanies are in the bonus bin now?

[sonic barn]

prob demand issues

eventually everyone that wants something will die out

tells you about the quality though

only need one

[winter sundial]

😵‍💫 Can you dumb that down for me?

Like, it’s not popular anymore?

[sonic barn]

they aren't gonna order x units if they can't sell them all in the same market cycle like before

they got newer items that will sell

[winter sundial]

Like new colours & stuff?

[sonic spruce]

So I have a 512 gb ssd and I want to move my OS and a few files, less than 200 gbs of storage from my hdd to my ssd. How and is it possible?

[gusty portal]

Use a software tool to clone the HDD to the SSD, then expand the SSD's partition to fill the drive

[fluid ridge]

i dont think you can just move operating systems like that

you can move files but i dont think you can just shift operating systems

[wispy flame]

hey any amazon black friday shoppers here? im looking to buy a new headset ~ or under 50 usd any reccomendations>?

[fluid ridge]

headsets all do the same thing

your 3 dollar earbuds from the dollar store play the same audio as your 700 dollar airpod maxes

[hollow pulsar]

You can. I’ve done it multiple times. Never had a problem. Though, there’s some debate as to how well it works because something about drive sectors/geometry. But I’ve never had this issue.

[wispy flame]

was looking to get either this: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M20x-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR18/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=music%2Bheadphones&qid=1669436137&s=aht&sr=1-4&th=1

[fluid ridge]

well damn

[wispy flame]

I saw some hyper X wireless stuff for around 50 usd but I heard the bass wasnt as good

[fluid ridge]

!flipcoin

[magic crown]

[hollow pulsar]

I use clonezilla, but I don’t know if it’s doing anything special to adapt the sectors or drive geometry for the SSD.

[wispy flame]

yes, but I am an ameatur musician I would appreciate better audio levels

[fluid ridge]

[fluid ridge]

audio levels dont come from your headset

they come from a normalized audio file

[magic crown]

are you fine with a headphone + seperate mic?

[fluid ridge]

if you really care i would get the first link

but i havent heard of either brand before so

[wispy flame]

yea

[wispy marsh]

How bad is the smell of a 7900xt?

[magic crown]

join ief then, this server isn't the right place for audio advice

[fluid ridge]

#audio-tech

[wispy flame]

I want something good for gaming (as long as its wired) but also doesnt have bad audio like w/ gaming focused headphones

[magic crown]

[wispy flame]

oh i didnt notice the channel

[echo valve]

[magic crown]

anything works for gaming, your best bet at that price range would be something like a ksc75 + t669

[wispy marsh]

ief is a good place

But the moderators are absolute dogs

I dont touch any channels in the other section

[echo valve]

Bricko

[magic crown]

sounds like someone got banned from there

[echo valve]

Brickian

[fluid ridge]

any discord server that bans people is a bad discord server

[wispy marsh]

To be fair, the mod acted on their innate child instincts and I couldn't blame the influences of a third-world childhood experience

Their parents are in the wrong

[fluid ridge]

“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”

[feral plaza]

must i homebrew my switch to edit my pokemon save files

[fluid ridge]

[wispy marsh]

If only there are better parents than the ones the mods (over there) have, but one doesn't simply pick their own parents do they?

[echo valve]

🧱

[fluid ridge]

the only good mods are mods that are not active like this server because it shows they have things to do outside of just staring at chat fr

[wispy marsh]

Therefore, the children are blameless

[echo valve]

I’m just going to keep saying brick till I’m on the YouTube channel

[lilac sage]

you just dye/shave your hair run away from home by catching a train or bus and lie about your name. its not too hard.

[fluid ridge]

say brick 3 times in a row

[wispy marsh]

It is not the appearance and the name. It is the "inheritance" of "mentality" and "psyche" that you gain from your parents from the day you are born

[fluid ridge]

aight my bad g that shit only works once

[dark edge]

which keyboard should i get?

im biased but get the mechanical keyboard lol

[wispy marsh]

Get this

[fluid ridge]

mechanicals and membranes all do the same thing

you get waterproof keyboard with membrane too

[night heron]

if you want nice feel but quiet i recommend either silent linear switches or electrostatic-capacitive switches
