Ich bin Sehr groB

Heh

[distant wren]

Well for fighting we have some rules never use always. Since it’s clear things don’t happen always.

[full fossil]

Hello Sehr groB, i am Twin

Du bist Sehr aussehend

[distant wren]

“You always does this and that” is not constructive

[full fossil]

Okay most of the time

a lot of the time

[ivory wolf]

I say no cussing while I'm listening to N.W.A.

[distant wren]

And try to look for a solution so this happen most of the time. How can I be better?

[full fossil]

It isn’t my fault I was born in wedlock, and that my mom found out she was pregnant when her and my dad were broken up

[ivory wolf]

I was born

Regrettably

[full fossil]

I was

[full fossil]

HOW COULD YOU

[ivory wolf]

Real

[distant wren]

Oh boy the CO2 you are making!

[distant wren]

You are part of the problem of global warming 😂

[ivory wolf]

My parents were married for ~6 years when I was born

[full fossil]

I produce nitrogen, I’m better than all of you

[distant wren]

Might even be worse

[full fossil]

I should’ve been aborted

[full fossil]

Nah

[ivory wolf]

Relatable

[full fossil]

I’m the superior life form

[distant wren]

Dead life forms? Is that not in some way AI? Zombie like?

[gentle trail]

It might be as simple as a dirty fan, it might be a failed component and the laptop is gone. I suggested a few places to start looking.

[distant wren]

Its a laptop

[full fossil]

I’m better, I’m stronger, I’m smarter, I’m the fucking #1 baby

[gentle trail]

Laptops have fans?

[full fossil]

I am #4 for both my parents .... both had 2 Kids before meeting the other

last one

[full fossil]

yes? Most

[full fossil]

What is the age range

Yeah, but not all have. Bust must

[gentle trail]

Yea, I know. That was a response to him responding to me suggesting to check the fans by saying it's a laptop. I knew it was a laptop.

[full fossil]

i am 26
Oldest is ~40

[gentle trail]

Context is a magical thing

[full fossil]

-s

(and no, i didnt meant Bust mut)

Honestly I really wanna go up to both of my parents and just ask: “so when are you guys getting divorced”

[full fossil]

ah yeah. Havent understood that.

[full fossil]

Oh nice

[full fossil]

I dont know whats nice about that but thanks

[full fossil]

You are old man

[full fossil]

yes

I love the whole stitch thing you got going on

Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind :D

Better ask them fast, so it works this year

[full fossil]

It needs a lot of improving tho kek

[gentle trail]

Too bad SLI is dead, could ask for two GPUs.

[distant wren]

So when are you guys going to get relation ship counciling? Alcohol is also an option offers beer

[full fossil]

2 7900xtx in crossfire

[full fossil]

I doubt you alrady got one. And if you have, PLEASE TELL ME HOW

[cyan pier]

@full fossil

[full fossil]

I don’t, I have a 1660ti

[cyan pier]

are you mathew

[full fossil]

No I am not

You have the wrong biggie

[full fossil]

At the moment i am Building an ITX Build and it will get an 7900 XT i guess

[full fossil]

Get me one too :D

/s

[gentle trail]

Didn't AMD dump crossfire too?

[full fossil]

Yep

Only game that scaled perfectly with multi gpus was gta5

[gentle trail]

I never had a crossfire setup.

[full fossil]

ahhhhhh no.

I already got myself 2 Ryzen 9 7900X
Cause maybe. JUST MAYBE!!! i destroyed it. JUST MAYBE!

When I get a 7900xtx I’m using my 1660ti for encoding / compute

[full fossil]

Haha

[gentle trail]

I can fully max everything in GTA 5 now, asides from the option to make it internally render at like 32k. It's cool.

[full fossil]

32k gta5

And now my mom is ignoring my dad :/

[full fossil]

ha. ha.

Yeah....i was not so happy :/
But yeah, i was dumb and it was my fault. At least it was my fault and not someone i could get angry about

[full fossil]

What happened?

[full fossil]

wait i search for the picture

[red spindle]

Y'all out here breaking parts I can't even afford

[full fossil]

The only pet I’ve had die on me was a lga1151 motherboard

Parents are fighting, again. Fucking hell

[red spindle]

Sucks

[gentle trail]

I was doing a budget build for a friend and he went with a mining 3070 on eBay, we ended up having to return it because it crashed in multiple systems while gaming.

So instead I sold him my 3070 and got a 3090ti

[red spindle]

same

I can't get a job anywhere

Yeah same

I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have a ride

and I don't have a bank account or anywhere to accept online payments

[full fossil]

Discord App wont let me upload pictures

I tried to (dont know the englisch word) Köpfen the CPU and it didnt work that well

German.

[graceful burrow]

You don't have image permissions in this channel

[full fossil]

Remove the Heatspreader

[full fossil]

Ah....That tbh makes sense :D

[graceful burrow]

Delid

[full fossil]

Delid

[full fossil]

Yes. Thanks

@full fossil that’s an expensive paperweight

[full fossil]

Yeah. Much to expensive

[full fossil]

Mhm

And now Cheese doesnt accept DMs therefore i cant send him the picture directly

[full fossil]

#off-topic

The picture still hurts

[full fossil]

✅

[graceful burrow]

You can't post pics here either kek

HOW

[full fossil]

link i guess

he is fancy voice better

(thank you)

[graceful burrow]

That's not what the how was in response to

[full fossil]

The link wouldn’t embed if he wasn’t a nitro booster

That poor 7900x

[full fossil]

ahh....Yeah.

Cut the silicon with a cutter and a little to strong wiggle and ripped everything off

[full fossil]

Not enough heat, too much force

[graceful burrow]

Only if they had their own channel so they didn't post here

[full fossil]

No heat, too much force (wiggle)

yes.

The second (still working) CPU got into the oven without wiggeling before

[full fossil]

Kek

[full fossil]

You should use a heat gun you know that right?

[full fossil]

Oven worked prefectly. And i had a dead CPU to test it

Ofc i didnt set it to 300... i slowly increased it. Didn't want a second paperweight

[wild wind]

My index finger hurts any medical advice?

[full fossil]

We can still over the profile....if i only would have spotify

[wild wind]

Did you just promote self harm?

[full fossil]

Hit your other Fingers, then u will only feel them

hOw DaRe YoU

[wild wind]

Gonna cancel you for hurting my feelings

[distant wren]

Medical advice? See a doctor. Do not trust people on the internet.

[full fossil]

i'm gonna cancel your feelings

What you gonna do now?

[wild wind]

Is that a death threat?

[full fossil]

Nope. Not really :D

[distant wren]

Guys be kind! 😂

Death awaits us all , let’s not speed it up! 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂

[full fossil]

[distant wren]

Remember karma Niko 👍🏻

[full fossil]

[wild wind]

I'd rather die in pain than hear a 3 hours lecture from my family for being on the computer 14 hours a day

[red spindle]

That only leaves 7 hours to sleep 😨

Why did this make me laugh

[full fossil]

so 5h of sleep and 2h of "homework"

Sadly single and forever alone

[wild wind]

You had me question my maths for a second, I get 8-9 hours of sleep every day

With my doggo 😌

[full fossil]

kinky

you are what?
Forever alone and single?

[distant wren]

Well why are you that long behind the pc? Just wondering 🤔

[full fossil]

same.... since many years

[distant wren]

Could be I don’t know his situation

[cyan pier]

r

[full fossil]

GOOD IDEA! I will plant some grass near my pc so i can play PC AND touch grass

[wild wind]

To avoid talking to people and i'm a bit addicted too

[cyan pier]

[distant wren]

Why are you addicted?

[wild wind]

Well, im mostly addicted not talking to people is just another reason

[distant wren]

You talk to us now

So it’s not people

Could just be bad people 🤷‍♂️

[wild wind]

I mean like in person I don't even speak in VC

[full fossil]

lemme call you real quick

[wild wind]

Text messages lets me communicate without feeling awkward

^^^^ 🗿

[distant wren]

Do you got something to add to this conversation?

[distant wren]

Well you don’t know anybody to speak to. 🤷‍♂️ are you lonely sometimes?

[full fossil]

🤷🏾‍♀️

[wild wind]

I do have friends we play together too I just don't like talking, When I was around 3rd grade the teachers used to get angry when the whole class starts talking so I just still have a fear deep inside that I can't get rid of

[fallen crypt]

hey I wanted to ask
in old YouTube videos they were in mostly white text with a blue background (idk how to properly describe it) but they looked like a slideshow with its effects

could yall name the program used for making such videos (not powerpoint or some other presentation software)

it looked something like this

I can't send images here f

https://youtu.be/TYgOlqinH7A

it looked something like this but the background is mostly blue

?

[hollow citrus]

thats a lotta messages

[dusty rune]

god damn

[urban talon]

Oh everything got deleted, i see

Was off topic now that i think about it 😂

[vapid smelt]

[fossil frost]

you can try, but it would be ill-advised

[vapid smelt]

Wanting to slide into his dms 😏

[red spindle]

🗿

[rich topaz]

bored at school. what should i do?

[vapid smelt]

pay attention

[manic torrent]

dig for gold

[red spindle]

Dig for gold and share it with the teacher as soon as their back is turned

[rich topaz]

ight let me go get a bucket

[short osprey]

yall know where the deals channel went?

[simple quail]

oughta grind some Miner VGA for the next World Series

[wise tundra]

Y'all know how people complain that in schools they don't teach important stuff like how to pay taxes, etc.?

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-done-here-my-man-trace-adkins-ultimate-cowboy-showdown-you-are-finish-here-youre-through-here-gif-25545182

[manic torrent]

I mean, there's a lot of vagaries in that question, but go on.

[wise tundra]

We had two courses and two tests related to taxes alone

[manic torrent]

ok, congratulations

do you know how big the world is?

[simple quail]

what type of school are you in?

[wise tundra]

Well we had those in primary school

[manic torrent]

Also what country, and what location, and what demographic, and etc etc etc

[wise tundra]

Now I'm in Lukio and vocational school

[wise tundra]

Finland, but y'all don't seem to get my point

[manic torrent]

you don't seem to get my point.

[wise tundra]

As I didn't get the chance to explain the entire thing

[simple quail]

ah, doing both simultaneously?

[wise tundra]

Yup

[manic torrent]

ok, please, go on.

[fossil frost]

the point is. nobody cares

[simple quail]

do go on :)

[vapid smelt]

people live in finland?

[simple quail]

yeah, about 6 people

[wise tundra]

So, it's pretty nice how here we actually study stuff that's important and we had teachers who made us actually question things and to make us think about solutions ourselves

[manic torrent]

Is your point that the rich and powerful do not like education because an educated populace is much harder to control? and it's easier to get them to undermine their own schools to keep their children in the same level of darkness they are in? Because... yeah.

And that the current trend of anti-intellectualism, particularly in america is extremely worrisome.

and that you have massive privelege being born and living in a country where you have good education etc etc

[tender glade]

bob

this is ltt

[manic torrent]

❤️

[wise tundra]

You know what, fuck you. I was just thinking about how happy I'm for having a functional education system and ya came to be mean about it

[manic torrent]

ANYWAY, so how about them computers

[vapid smelt]

ltt only always nsfw content

[wise tundra]

Have a terrible day

Imma go sleep

[simple quail]

tbh, the quality of education in Finland has gone down because of budget cuts

[wise tundra]

It's 1:30 anyways

[manic torrent]

not at all. It's awesome that you have that.

[wise tundra]

It has but it still works

[manic torrent]

I'm just encouraging.... perspective

[wise tundra]

Also the new extended education law is really nice

[manic torrent]

Anyway, so I think I'm going to get a 3080ti or a 3090 to replace my 3070

Because it's not quite there at 4k, and now with the 5700X it runs much better, so time for a new graphics card.

[simple quail]

comprehensive education seems to be mostly alright still, but vocational is dismal

[fluid ridge]

replacing a high end card with another high end card

dont do it bob save the 3070

[manic torrent]

I can get them for about $1100-1200 AUD, which is v nice, but need water cooling block

[manic torrent]

3070 is not 'high end' I mean, I paid a high end price for it, but hey

[vapid smelt]

didnt you spend that on your 3070

[fluid ridge]

3070 is mid-high end

[manic torrent]

more 🙂

[fluid ridge]

upper mid end

[wise tundra]

I'm studying data networking at the vocational school. We have good teachers and most the tools we use are open source tools anyways so I don't see any problems in my daily life

[simple quail]

it'll only make things worse with the low budget :/

[fluid ridge]

it sure is a lot better than what most people have

[manic torrent]

oh, absolutely. It's amazing in that perspective, it's just what you're measuring against.

[wise tundra]

True but when your both parents have very low income, it helps alot

[simple quail]

I'm in my third year, the teachers didn't even teach anything this autumn

we literally went there, sat on shitty chairs for a few hours, and went home, having done nothing

[wise tundra]

My dad got retired when he was 45 cause of health issues and my mom's been working as that helper teacher thingie, don't remember the term

[manic torrent]

teachers aide

[wise tundra]

Oh well that sucks

"Koulunkäynnin ohjaaja" is the Finnish term

[vapid smelt]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375436621450969089/975636162586767400/unknown.png lower mid

[ebon sand]

does anybody know how to capture just the game audio in streamlabs? currently i can capture the game audio baked into "desktop" audio where it captures ALL the system sounds.

[wise tundra]

Calling a 3080 mid tier sounds crazy

[manic torrent]

yeah I don't disagree

[vapid smelt]

3080 10gb is mid tier

[manic torrent]

you could use voicemeeter potato, set the game output to use the secondary or third virtual input and route it seperately

[simple quail]

I'm glad I got an internship because being forced to attend school where you end up doing nothing, really gets to you

[ebon sand]

can it do 4k60 with dlss and w/o rtx? if yes, high end on my book

[ebon sand]

ah yes i was trying to remember what it was called. thx!

[vapid smelt]

a rx 6700xt can do that with no dlss

[ebon sand]

do you mind if i message you in case i screw up?

[wise tundra]

Technically I'm in 3 schools so I have plenty to do 😂 (two Lukios)

[manic torrent]

just @ me here

[ebon sand]

aye, thx a lot!

[wise tundra]

But hey, it's free education. Why not take all the advantage out of it?

[simple quail]

I disagree with that — 3060 is mid and 3080 ti is extreme IMO

[manic torrent]

My phone has seen better days

[vapid smelt]

than what is the 3090ti

[wise tundra]

Also extreme

[simple quail]

also extreme

[manic torrent]

super ultra mega extreme

[wise tundra]

Why does extreme end need to be just one card?

[manic torrent]

3090 / ti =~ titan

[simple quail]

it looks completely buggered

[manic torrent]

I mean... it still runs 🙂

[simple quail]

gonna daily drive that?

[manic torrent]

haha, no that picture was taken on my new pixel 6

[wise tundra]

Why not? I've seen people daily drive phones with black screens

They managed to activate the accessibility option ment for blind people

[vapid smelt]

i made this in 3d paint a year ago its very official and cant be changed

[wispy marsh]

Good day everyone

May my god and your gods bless you on this day

[manic torrent]

oh you don't wnat that. My gods are horrible.

[simple quail]

a working display is alleged to have benefits when it comes to getting things done

[wise tundra]

True, but do you need it?

[wispy marsh]

No, bless you, not me.

[manic torrent]

yeah I do. Also because I'm not poor.

[wise tundra]

Understandable, have a great day

[manic torrent]

life is too short

[wispy marsh]

Also, the gods I believe in are corporeal, so there's that

[simple quail]

well, in my case specifically, yes, because I'm hard of hearing and would have trouble navigating my phone with audio only

[wise tundra]

Fair enough

I have it the opposite, my right eye doesn't work proprietary

Properly*

[simple quail]

I can't see shit without glasses either lol

[wise tundra]

My eye is proprietary confirmed

[simple quail]

I'll swing by tomorrow and we'll jailbreak it

[wise tundra]

That'd be great as the eye doctor said they don't feel like doing anything to it

So getting it to work would be nice

[vapid smelt]

wait a card that is just a hair faster than the $215 rx 6600 is mid in your opinion

[wise tundra]

I've always thought about 60 class cards as mid and 50 (and below) as low end

[simple quail]

well they're still 400+ € cards

[vapid smelt]

if we had a 3050ti i would agree

[wise tundra]

Well, I wouldn't say price determines the tier

[simple quail]

it's a factor, but not the only one

like, the GTX 1060 is still usable, but it's definitely low-end

[wispy marsh]

It's not low end

It's mid tier, just old, like the gtx 970

[full fossil]

hey i need a good mouse i have big hands

[wispy marsh]

ASUS Spatha

Biggest thing in your room you'll be gripping on the daily alright

[vapid smelt]

g502

[full fossil]

is that a logitech mouse?

[vapid smelt]

[simple quail]

in today's terms, it's low-end — at the time it was released, it was absolutely a midrange card

[full fossil]

i hate logitech so mucg

[wispy marsh]

Yes

For one thing, we're alright with daily driving the g502 because it'a not a highly recommended mouse for nothing

[vapid smelt]

why do you hate good mice

[wispy marsh]

For another, we cannot feel your hate and we don't want to know why

Prolly the same reason why other brands get hate, Asus Razer Tecware CoolerMaster etc.

[sharp bobcat]

lmao this

[full fossil]

i dont hate those brands just every logitech product i got suck

[sharp bobcat]

bad luck doesn't happen everytime

[wispy marsh]

You need more base stats, and better 20-sided dies

[sharp bobcat]

I never had issues with my Logitech stuff

[simple quail]

after having switched to the Magic Trackpad, I haven't really looked back tbh

[wispy marsh]

Desktop* or

[simple quail]

I've yet to game on it, but for everything else it's so good

[simple quail]

yeah, for desktop use

[wispy marsh]

2077 on magic trackpad

Your desktop is a mac?

Or do you just use windows drivers?

[simple quail]

nah, I use Linux on my desktop

I do have a MacBook, however

[wispy marsh]

I don't really use macs

[simple quail]

they're brilliant for creative work

[wispy marsh]

Even so, the trackpad is so tempting

[vapid smelt]

all of pro first person shooter gamers use Logitech shroud even did a deal to get a "shroud mouse" https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/g303-shroud-wireless-mouse.910-006103.html

[full fossil]

maybe i will see

g305 mod

[simple quail]

the only downside for me is that the port is at the back (the wireless sucks because of all the interference), and that it's Lightning

[wispy marsh]

I use lightning on my 3 daily devices

[gusty jacinth]

My bluetooth JBL headphones starts to lag and drop connection when i turn on my water faucet in my kitchen, headphones are connected to my pc via BT, which is located at the other side of house, this also happens with earbuds. Non of these headphones and earbuds have active noise cancelling, nor do i have a waterheater, or one those sink shredder thingys you americans have, i live in Finland and its just a normal looking faucet connected to main cold and warm waterlines. I've been suffering from this for years now and today was a first day i found someone on Reddit was having almost exactly same problem:

reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/twklnf/bluetooth_earbuds_get_static_when_kitchen_sink_is/

[simple quail]

I use an iPhone as my work phone, it's so annoying to have to have a separate charger and cable for Lightning though

I miss the bliss of only having a USB-C charger with me, maybe two in case I needed to charge multiple devices

[wispy marsh]

The only usb-c devices I use are the work laptops

iPad, iPhone, Airpods

All lightning

[simple quail]

my phone, iPad, MacBook and work laptop are all USB-C

[wispy marsh]

Not an iPhone, right?

[simple quail]

I've mostly gone USB-C, but I still have a couple of printer cables and Mini-USB cables with me (musical equipment uses printer cables, and my ancient 500 GB Samsung HDD is serving me well)

[simple quail]

my personal phone's a Sony Xperia 5 III

[vapid smelt]

so much wasted money and waste on useless ports

[simple quail]

if only there were USB-C to USB-B cables so I could stop carrying so many dongles

[wispy marsh]

Which is why, when xmas comes I might switch over to a usb-c ipad

... that uses usb 2.0

[vapid smelt]

well lighting is 2.0

[wispy marsh]

https://m.gsmarena.com/apple_ipad_pro_12_9_(2015)-7562.php

[vapid smelt]

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MXLY2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-1-m?f $19 for a 1 meter usb 2.0 lighting cable

[wispy marsh]

The only mass-produced Apple device with Lightning usb 3.0

[wispy marsh]

Yep

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/counting-hand-talk-benedict-cumberbatch-gif-14248175

[simple quail]

why is this 18 € for a USB 2.0 cable :(

[wispy marsh]

They quickly realised that if they bring 3.0 to "lower margin" products, it'll cut into their iCloud storage subscriptions. That's why the iPad Pro remains one of the only devices to use TB on USB-C

So, F500 shareholder expectations. Fuck your shareholder expectations.

[simple quail]

there was a similar cable, 1 m, for 10 € but it was USB 3 so couldn't use that

[cunning yoke]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0832BL1HC?tag=synack-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1 any idea why this drive is so cheap? I'm looking for NAS drives (just for media), and this one is way cheaper than the rest. Is there something wrong with it?

[manic torrent]

USB 3 isn't a connector spec.

[cunning yoke]

that dang renewed one getting my hopes up

[cunning yoke]

So it's just not a great deal? I'm a bit confused.

[manic torrent]

it doesn't seem stupid cheap, it's just reasonably priced

[vapid smelt]

because its made by Toshiba

[simple quail]

a USB-B 3.0 cable won't fit into a USB-B 2.0 slot

[cunning yoke]

understandable tbh

[white fractal]

Er, yes it can?

[manic torrent]

ahh. there's just SFA devices that actually use a USB 3 B

[manic torrent]

nah it has an extra bit

[white fractal]

There can be, but the usb-a end is still compatible

[manic torrent]

yeah but the B end isn't

so hangon, what devices did we actually want to connect?

[simple quail]

yeah, but I was looking at USB-C–USB-B cables

[white fractal]

But… why usb-b?

[manic torrent]

what devices are you connecting

[west sentinel]

you pay more for that LED

[simple quail]

musical equipment, like keyboards, sound cards, etc.

[manic torrent]

connecting to what? If there's multiple, just use a C-> A hub.

[simple quail]

I'd like to carry less dongles (or less bulky ones at least) than what I currently do

[simple quail]

to my laptop

[manic torrent]

So you carry a laptop, but you plug it in to random equipment that typically uses USB B ?

[simple quail]

yeah, and the MacBook only has USB-C ports

[manic torrent]

best solution - then you can use a USB C cable, same as you can use for charging etc

[simple quail]

ah right, I forgot to look at something like that, thanks for pointing it out!

[manic torrent]

I am the master of cables and adapters - I have so many of the damn things.

I am constantly changing and fixing and modifying and adapting cables.

this is just some of the connections

here, battlestations, build-a-pc, many choices

I strongly recommend wall mounted monitors.

[simple quail]

unfortunately my local retailer doesn't have such adapters, and shipping from smth like Amazon is gonna be super expensive for smth like that, probably :/

[manic torrent]

it was like $5 with free shipping on ebay from china

[wispy marsh]

Lightning is better for shareholder expectations

[simple quail]

I might as well get the whole cable tbh, if I'm trying to eliminate unnecessary dongles and stuff from my bag

[manic torrent]

lightning is a better PHONE CHARGING plug. Because it is more resiliant, and has nice big connectors and is easy. it's absolutely fucking shit at anything else

[vapid smelt]

But it stays in better!

[simple quail]

I can hang my MacBook off a USB-C cable, so not sure how valid that point is lol

[manic torrent]

5700x/3070/stuff. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375436621450969089/1047750865169174619/IMG_20221128_092543915_HDR.jpg?width=865&height=649

[wispy marsh]

Wait till you require 70% of optional USB-C specifications in order for it to work with 2024< apple products

[manic torrent]

I already live in USB C world, so eh.

[frigid delta]

If you're plugging and unplugging that often just get one of those magnetic connection cables

[manic torrent]

my laptop I'm using to talk to you literally has two thunderbolt devices plugged in

[wispy marsh]

There will be an outrage against Apple because most people can't use their $1 cables and $5 chargers for the new usb-c iPhones

Quick question, how legal is YouTube to mp3?

[graceful burrow]

Depends if you're downloading some copyrighted audio with it or not

[manic torrent]

probably against youtube TOS, but would entirely depend on the licensing of the media

[tight marlin]

I’m just using it to put some videos I like into the radio of a game

[graceful burrow]

Oh it's definitely against YouTube tos

[manic torrent]

but nobody cares 😄

[tropic juniper]

you can get round it by using another format. i.e. ogg

[graceful burrow]

Nop

[manic torrent]

wtf?

that has nothing to do with anything

[graceful burrow]

That definitely doesn't make it not illegal

[manic torrent]

you could be using .aiff

[tropic juniper]

yes but the question posed was strictly constrained to a particular format

[graceful burrow]

No he was naming a service

It's a website

YouTube to mp3

Converts to mp3

[manic torrent]

... which is irrelevant to the issue

[tropic juniper]

there's dozens of those

[full fossil]

i want to constrain formats into

posed questions

[manic torrent]

oh, lttstore.com you say?

[tight marlin]

Little tip, use it on an old laptop you don’t like and just put the mp3 files onto a flash drive since the one from converting will be spammed with notifications

[full fossil]

thats a nice looking deskpad

[graceful burrow]

Either way it doesn't matter
If you download copyrighted audio without the proper licenses it's piracy and illegal

[manic torrent]

and the pirate police will shoot you on sight

[graceful burrow]

Yeah we wouldn't want that

[tight marlin]

Ima sound dumb as hell

But doesn’t it fall under private use? Or is this not covered by it

[manic torrent]

that's ok we are used to that here

[graceful burrow]

Different situation

[manic torrent]

no - that's if you own the media and are transcoding it. you do not own it.

[tight marlin]

Ahhhhhh

Thanks, I never knew that

[full fossil]

and just cus you own it doesnt mean you get to resdsitrubte it

[tight marlin]

Yeah, hence private use. You using it for yourself only. If you own it and are just transcoding to a different format for yourself

[vapid smelt]

thats what $20 surge protectors are for

[upper storm]

wassup

hi people

[hollow pulsar]

Not going to lie, if I know a thunderstorm is coming, I shut down and unplug all equipment except for networking. (“Minimal networking mode”). Network equipment is easily replaced. Other things, not so much.
Other than that, I leave everything plugged in.

[hollow pulsar]

Howdy

[gentle trail]

Just get a cheap-ass power strip with a surge protector on it

Unplugging your computer when not in use isn't how the systems are made to be operated, and it's not too surprising you're having weird issues with the time when doing it.

[hollow pulsar]

The CMOS battery specifically keeps the clock going, so the fact that the time keeps getting reset even after changing the battery is… very odd.

Maybe the battery was installed upside down?

[gentle trail]

It's not that odd, he probably just has a shoddy motherboard.

[red spindle]

I have a UPS in my closet with a battery that doesn't work and it makes funny screeching noises when I plug it into the wall

[gentle trail]

I'd replace the battery, get a new UPS, or get a $20 power strip.

They do have finite lives

You have to be pretty oblivious to still use Kaspersky in 2022.

[fluid ridge]

whys that

testing shows kaspersky is time and time again the best antivirus solution

[gentle trail]

They're heavily partnered with the Russian government, they're a Russian product, and there's been evidence that Kaspersky has been used for espionage.

They're like half FSB at this point, which is the successor to the KGB.

[fluid ridge]

there is nothing wrong with being a russian product and they have said they have no affiliations with the russians

politics shouldnt matter when it comes to how good software is

[gentle trail]

It does.

Pretending it doesn't is naive.

[west sentinel]

This is 2022 man

[hollow pulsar]

I have to agree with Netham on this one, which is why I do not trust any Chinese software.

[west sentinel]

nothing you can expect the big difference

[fluid ridge]

american companies mine your data too

[gentle trail]

"I posted a meme about an agency that operates as an intelligence wing of Russia, how did this ever turn political?!"

[fluid ridge]

it's just how the internet works

[west sentinel]

it's 2022

[fluid ridge]

if kaspersky is the best at removing malware so be it

im using kaspersky

[gentle trail]

There's a huge difference between mining data and actively scanning peoples' computers for interesting material during scans

[fluid ridge]

do you have any proof behind these claims

[gentle trail]

There's a Wikipedia article on Kaspersky's issues along with tons of other articles about governments shunning them. You really should do a half-second of Googling before you run your mouth about how Russian government spyware is safe.

[tender geyser]

The Russians don’t want your vbucks

[fluid ridge]

wikipedia article

[tender geyser]

😱

[gentle trail]

So you're too stupid to figure it out on your own and are insisting that you're going to keep spreading a literal tool of Russian warfare because you're too stubborn to consider that you might be wrong.

[hollow pulsar]

Lol

[gentle trail]

Whining about sources also isn't how you have a constructive debate. It's how you seem like a whiny kid on the internet.

[fluid ridge]

have you not considered that you have your head shoved so far up your ass that you lap up any wikipedia article as fact and now go around saying that one of the most trusted anti-virus solutions in the world is spyware?

[hollow pulsar]

I mean, they found stockpiles of land mines, hand Grenades, dynamite- not exactly ordinary

[fluid ridge]

perhaps find better sources

rofl

[gentle trail]

Dude, seriously, go spend fucking 10 seconds looking into it.

[fluid ridge]

the wikipedia article in question:
Kaspersky bans and allegations of Russian government ties

[gentle trail]

"lol wikipedia not good source" shoves Russian FSB up his ass

[fluid ridge]

[hollow pulsar]

Question: Would you trust a Chinese Antivirus solution?

[gentle trail]

Yea, because no shit Kaspersky denied it

[fluid ridge]

yes i would

[gentle trail]

Have you ever heard about anything Russia has done?

[fluid ridge]

denying something does not make it an allegation my friend, an allegation is a claim made with no proof

[hollow pulsar]

Well that puts this whole conversation in a new light for me.

[gentle trail]

That's not what an allegation means. At all.

[fluid ridge]

al·le·ga·tion
/ˌaləˈɡāSH(ə)n/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: allegation; plural noun: allegations

    a claim or assertion that someone has done something illegal or wrong, typically one made without proof.
    "after leaving he made allegations of corruption against the company"```

this guy is a fucking dumbass

[gentle trail]

typically does not mean always

[fluid ridge]

oh my god here comes the semantics

[gentle trail]

LOL

[fluid ridge]

if you dont use software solely because of country of origin i believe the term for that is xenophobia

[hollow pulsar]

Here’s why you don’t trust Chinese software: ALL Chinese companies operate at the will of the Chinese government. Don’t cooperate with whatever they want? Your company gets shut down. And that’s literally the best result. Other results include disappearing and jail time.

[gentle trail]

Are you for real, Triage? Because you're saying some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard.

[fluid ridge]

i will use north korean software because i judge based on quality of the product, not where the product's creators birthplace is

[hollow pulsar]

No. It means you are completely ignorant how China’s government operates

[gentle trail]

"Edgy teenager ignores the state of global affairs because he thinks it looks nice on the internet"

[hollow pulsar]

So when the Chinese government says “spy and steal or you lose social credits” you do it or your life is ruined

[fluid ridge]

but these people are saying not to use russian software for the sake of it being russian

[hollow pulsar]

Companies will allow execs to go to china - and when they return, the phones are destroyed. Why? Spyware concerns

[fluid ridge]

these same people probably let big data in silicon valley know every minute, intimate detail in their lives

[gentle trail]

You clearly didn't read or comprehend anything that was said.

[fluid ridge]

you have no fucking proof

the wikipedia article you keep citing has no proof

this entire thing is speculation

[gentle trail]

No, I'm just not doing your googling for you because you're too fucking lazy.

[fluid ridge]

i literally did the googling and every subheading is denoted by the word "allegedly"

[hollow pulsar]

There’s no citations for the claims?

[gentle trail]

"WAAAH I don't like wikipedia as a source" is NOT an argument.

[fluid ridge]

i literally did the googling and every subheading is denoted by the word "allegedly"

[gentle trail]

Yea, and you got the definition of allegedly wrong and fucking argued when I pointed it out

[fluid ridge]

can you define allegedly for me then? i provided the definition

[gentle trail]

Yea, the definition you provided that you then proceeded to misread

Then argued about when I pointed out you misread it

Goddamn, you're an idiot.

[fluid ridge]

at what part did i misread

typically?

[gentle trail]

GO FUCKING LOOK I ALREADY TOLD YOU

[fluid ridge]

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/allegedly

here you go, this definition from cambridge does not have the typically in it

what are you going to fuss over now?

[fluid ridge]

[gentle trail]

You do realize that there's multiple definitions on those pages, right? right?

Please tell me you know how to use a dictionary

[fluid ridge]

we are using the most common definition

[gentle trail]

LOL

[fluid ridge]

you are the most disingenuous person i have ever seen

[gentle trail]

That's not how English works.

"There's this one way this word might mean what I want, THAT'S THE ONLY RIGHT WAY!!!!"

[fluid ridge]

"Sorry we're going to use the definition of the word a total of 13 people in Scotland use to fit my narrative rather than the definition provided as the most common usage"

[hollow pulsar]

What is a claim WITH proof called?

[gentle trail]

Triage, my god, man. Just go back to school.

[fluid ridge]

this is literally what you are doing

this guy went through 3 links to find one with multiple definitions

[gentle trail]

What? Every link has multiple definitions.

[hollow pulsar]

I typically see “allegations” used in the context of “not yet proven” as opposed to “without proof”.

[gentle trail]

Did you even click them before posting them?

[fluid ridge]

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/allegedly

this one has 2 of the identical meaning things

[gentle trail]

Okay, so you looked through 4 links to find the one that fit what you wanted.

[fluid ridge]

allegations are basically "you broke into my house" without signs of forced entry

[gentle trail]

Fuck off.

[fluid ridge]

or something like "you shot me 32 times" without having one wound on your body

[hollow pulsar]

“The suspect allegedly broke into the house”.

[fluid ridge]

that would be an allegation

an allegation is an oftentimes legal term to denote the fact that something is not proven

[gentle trail]

allegedly generally means until proven in court in a lot of contexts, it means without proof in others, it means unprovable in others.

[hollow pulsar]

There no burden of proof in my example. It’s simply a claim of wrongdoing. Proof isn’t part of the claim.

[fluid ridge]

you can claim wrongdoing with no proof but nobody will care lmao

[gentle trail]

Honestly, if the definition of allegedly is what's keeping you using Russian software there's something wrong with you.

[fluid ridge]

i can say you hit my car but with no damage to my car i look like a clown

[hollow pulsar]

Correct. It’s still an allegation until proven.

[fluid ridge]

if what is stopping you from using good software is a speculative wikipedia article you should probably take the tinfoil hat off

[gentle trail]

You do know that Wikipedia articles have sources you can go look at, right?

[fluid ridge]

which have no proof either

a summary of speculative sources is still speculation 🤣

[gentle trail]

Oh, wow, you reviewed all of those in the last 15 seconds?

That's impressive.

[fluid ridge]

no because i read the fucking summary of these sources

[gentle trail]

But the summary isn't the source how can you trust it?~!?!?!?!?!?

[fluid ridge]

(the wikipedia article)

[fluid ridge]

i dont trust it, which is why im here arguing with you

[gentle trail]

LOL

"I don't trust this wikipedia article." "Well, then trust the sources." "I read the wikipedia article based off of the sources and I don't trust the sources."

[hollow pulsar]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why “fact checkers” for social media is one of the biggest quack-schemes ever.

[fluid ridge]

because the wikipedia article is a regurgitation of the sources? thus if the wikipedia article is wrong, the sources are wrong?

[gentle trail]

Shut up, kid.

[fluid ridge]

LOL

[gentle trail]

You're clearly not capable of contributing anything meaningful.

[hollow pulsar]

“It’s a fact”. “I don’t trust your sources, so it’s rumor and conjecture- you’re gone. Bye”

[fluid ridge]

this guy got nothing else to say

[west sentinel]

Jesus Christ what does this madness has turn into

[fluid ridge]

actual monkey straight out the zoo

[gentle trail]

Yea, I don't know how to get through to someone as stubborn and thick as you.

[west sentinel]

skill issue

[gentle trail]

You're literally just making up how the world works.

[fluid ridge]

i dont read an allegation on wikipedia and then live by it as a fact

it is what it is man

i hope nobody alleges you do anything bad to them because im sure you wont be able to forgive yourself

[gentle trail]

You have a serious lacking of critical thinking abilities.

[fluid ridge]

you lack critical thinking
surely this speculative wikipedia article cannot be wrong

[hollow pulsar]

Hold up. This is literally how most judicial systems work.

[fluid ridge]

right, but in most judicial systems these allegations only hold water when they are proven, at which point they no longer are accusations

[gentle trail]

A proven accusation is still an accusation.

It's just proven.

[fluid ridge]

again, i can accuse you of shooting me, but with no bullet wound on my body there is nothing of substance here

[gentle trail]

Pay more attention in English class, kid.

Okay, in your example it's clear that the accusation is false. Where's the proof the FSB allegations for Kaspersky are false?

[fluid ridge]

because it's fucking speculation?

[hollow pulsar]

Hold up. An allegation does NOT mean the proof contradicts the allegation.

[fluid ridge]

this is the same thing as

[gentle trail]

Ah, you didn't think that through.

[fluid ridge]

"Meta is an American company so it backdoors to the CIA"

[gentle trail]

Speculations aren't all false.

[fluid ridge]

"Google is an NSA asset due to it's geographical jurisdiction

[gentle trail]

Google is an NSA asset due to PRISM

[fluid ridge]

of course not, if the proof is on your side at that point that allegation becomes guilt

[gentle trail]

Do I need to provide you sources on PRISM too?

[fluid ridge]

you are now guilty

[hollow pulsar]

Allegations, speculations, and claims are all in the category of “not yet proven”. The “proof” can go either way, in which case it becomes a valid or invalid claim, speculation, or allegation

[fluid ridge]

but an allegation (like in this case) with no definitive proof is jargon

if i say you shot me, and i have a bullet hole in my chest, and you are caught on video doing it, you become guilty

[gentle trail]

Your assertion of "no definitive proof" is asinine.

There's direct proof that Kaspersky-connected agents were doing things like breaking into home computers in America. It's clear as day in that article you "read"

[fluid ridge]

your own source denotes itself by saying "Hey before we begin, we don't have any actual concrete proof of this happening" in the subheadings

the preface is literally "hey we dont know if this is really true or not but the dots line up!"

[hollow pulsar]

I’m just saying an allegation is a claim that hasn’t been validated.

[fluid ridge]

yes

you are entirely correct

back to the you shooting me example

if i claim you shot me with no injuries to myself, i would probably be laughed at

[gentle trail]

"The dots line up" literally means there's some proof, lol. It's just not concrete.

[hollow pulsar]

That’s an allegation that has been proven to be false. It is an invalid claim.

It’s a bit beyond the allegation stage

[gentle trail]

Yea, but if I claim you shot at me and missed it would be investigated and they'd at least get you away from me if you were nearby.

[fluid ridge]

circumstantial evidence alone has never been enough to prove guilt

[gentle trail]

This isn't a court of law

I don't need a legal decree that I can't use Kaspersky to stop using it

[fluid ridge]

of course, that is your volition

[hollow pulsar]

If you alleged that I shot you and there was a bullet wound, we’d move to the investigation stage. Attempting to build a case to prove the allegation.

[robust shell]

[fluid ridge]

however you are going around saying shit like "kaspersky is basically russian intelligence" with absolutely nothing backing it besides a few breadcrumbs

[hollow pulsar]

Alleging something is divorced from proving it.

[gentle trail]

And when you can't build a case because the building the shooting happened in burned down you don't just say, "Whelp, clearly nothing happened because we can't see it."

[fluid ridge]

no because you would look at your body for bullet wounds

[gentle trail]

"a few breadcrumbs" is underselling it significantly. Again, go read the full Wikipedia page.

You clearly didn't read it and you admitted you didn't read it. Shut up and go read it.

Quit typing and go read it.

Nothing you've said is valid until you familiarize yourself with the topic you're trying to discuss.

[fluid ridge]

i have stated multiple times that i have no interest in reading an article that may or may not be true because that's like saying aliens may or may not exist

it fucking means nothing

[gentle trail]

Cool, if you haven't read the article being discussed then stop trying to discuss it.

"I KNOW NOTHING AND I MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW" - Triage

B) What triggered the block? “Crabs”?

If you can't, then get your eyes checked.

[fluid ridge]

aka i cant name names

make a claim, unable to back it, "i wont rope other people into this"

[gentle trail]

Oh, look, more whining about sources instead of scrolling the fucking page up a few lines and looking

[fluid ridge]

i did, i literally namedropped everyone who was here in the past 30 minutes

[gentle trail]

Triage, until you read the wikipedia article you're trying to decry you're just making an ass out of yourself.

[fluid ridge]

but your wikipedia article shatters as soon as the word "allegedly" comes into play

[gentle trail]

You can't whine about sources then whine that you don't like sources you haven't even reviewed.

[fluid ridge]

the word "allegedly" overshadows anything that follows

[gentle trail]

No, you just don't fucking grasp the concept of "allegedly"

Basic English alludes you.

[fluid ridge]

we spent the last 30 minutes talking about what allegedly meant

[gentle trail]

Yea, and you were still wrong.

[fluid ridge]

you insisted on choosing the definition 13 people used

[fluid ridge]

in what way?

im literally using cambridge dictionary definitions

[gentle trail]

Because you posted fucking 3 sites that said I was right before cherry-picking the one definition that almost means what you meant.

[fluid ridge]

merriam webster definitions too

cherry-picking isnt really cherry-picking when it's literally the most common and agreed upon definitions

[gentle trail]

English words have multiple definitions

[hollow pulsar]

Actually, you have a point here. However, due to Wikipedia also serving as a kind of community log, one might have to read further to see if the allegations were proven, unproven, or still disputed.

[fluid ridge]

cherry picking is "let me skip the definition of the word the VAST MAJORITY of the population interpret this to be just so my narrative will fit"

[gentle trail]

"most common and agreed upon definition" isn't how English works.

[fluid ridge]

which is what you are doing

you see how the definitions are tiered in a number hierarchy?

[gentle trail]

Prove that that's what the vast majority of the population uses.

[manic torrent]

Anyway, triage is an idiot

[gentle trail]

What's your source for that? I want citations.

[manic torrent]

We all know this

[fluid ridge]

the number hierarchy the definitions are provided in

1
: accused but not proven or convicted
an alleged burglar
2
: asserted to be true or to exist
an alleged miracle

[gentle trail]

That doesn't mean vast majority

[manic torrent]

But I don't see what you're arguing about and I'm guessing it's really really stupid

[fluid ridge]

this 1, 2, 3, 4

[gentle trail]

Do you even know what majority means?

[hollow pulsar]

I don’t.

[fluid ridge]

it denotes the most common definition of the term

[manic torrent]

You should

[gentle trail]

Literally just pointing out that Kaspersky shouldn't be trusted and he's hung up claiming that Kaspersky is fine because a source saying "allegedly". He didn't even get past the first paragraph of the page I sent him.

And somehow I'm a xenophobe now because I don't trust them.

[fluid ridge]

no, you said Kaspersky was an FSB asset and a wing of Russian intelligence

[manic torrent]

Trust no1

[fluid ridge]

based on a wikipedia article that literally denotes itself with "hey we dont really know if this is true or not"

[hollow pulsar]

Copy and paste the validation to the allegation. I’ll admit I haven’t read the article either, but I do t have a dog in this fight.

[gentle trail]

Yea, then I posted a page full of sources for that claim that you immediately ignored.

And continue to ignore.

[fluid ridge]

but your wikipedia article shatters as soon as the word "allegedly" comes into play

Triage — Today at 10:50 PM
the word "allegedly" overshadows anything that follows

[gentle trail]

Yea, that's wrong.

[wispy marsh]

Hello

Is luke still in france?

[hollow pulsar]

Salutations

[fluid ridge]

the validation is purely speculative as well

[wispy marsh]

Salvations

[fluid ridge]

when you build a house upon an unstable foundation the home is inherently unstable

[gentle trail]

We went over that. Your piss-poor cherry-picked definitions of allegedly that ignore any and all context are not valid. This has been pointed out over and over again. You seem to think that the top definition in the dictionary is the only possible definition.

[wispy marsh]

Actually

[fluid ridge]

we went over this cherry picking thing

cherry-picking isnt really cherry-picking when it's literally the most common and agreed upon definitions

cherry picking is "let me skip the definition of the word the VAST MAJORITY of the population interpret this to be just so my narrative will fit"

[wispy marsh]

Why do they make salutation sound so much like salvation and salivation?

[hollow pulsar]

Sounds like the allegations are still in dispute.

[gentle trail]

it's literally the most common and agreed upon definitions
[Citation Needed]

[fluid ridge]

yep, which is why they are not to be taken as fact

[gentle trail]

You admittedly didn't read the page or any of the sources, how could you possibly say that?

[fluid ridge]

hierarchy of the order of definitions

[gentle trail]

Do you assume you know everything from a news article from the headline and never look any deeper, too?

[gentle trail]

Those don't mean anything significant. I already pointed this out.

[fluid ridge]

because the word allegedly shatters the entire article below it

[gentle trail]

How can you know that if you haven't even read it?

[fluid ridge]

but they do because they denote most common usage

[fluid ridge]

ok netham let me set up an example

[gentle trail]

most common usage doesn't mean anything.

It might mean that 3/10 people use it that way

Which means it's wrong 70% of the time

[hollow pulsar]

To a point. For example, due to corruption or bias, it’s very possible the fact-checkers may dispute a fact. Trying to keep it from being seen as a fact.

[fluid ridge]

when i see that in an argument about fact, i automatically disregard

[gentle trail]

I'm really curious what circumstantial evidence for a unicorn would be.

[fluid ridge]

there is no need to continue forwards

[gentle trail]

And how a Unicorn is at all similar to kaspersky

[fluid ridge]

it was an example

[gentle trail]

It was a bad example.

[fluid ridge]

replace unicorn with whatever you want

[gentle trail]

It was a horrible example.

[fluid ridge]

replace unicorn then, the example still works

[gentle trail]

With what? If I replace unicorn with Kaspersky it sure doesn't work.

[fluid ridge]

you are reading a wikipedia article about the existence of life on mars

this article has troves of information, lots of circumstantial evidence, logic, etc. the whole 9 yards

but this article has subheadings beginning with "Hey before you start reading we don't know if any of this is true, this is just us putting 2 and 2 together"
when i see that in an argument about fact, i automatically disregard

is this better

[gentle trail]

No, you need to choose something that has significant circumstantial evidence, and it falls apart if you do.

[fluid ridge]

of course, but we established earlier that circumstantial evidence isn't actually proof

[gentle trail]

We also established this isn't a court

[fluid ridge]

ie. you were in the bakery the morning it exploded, based on this we can assume you bombed the bakery

[gentle trail]

That's not even circumstantial evidence.

[fluid ridge]

it is?

[gentle trail]

No, that's a fallacy at best.

[fluid ridge]

Circumstantial evidence is evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact—such as a fingerprint at the scene of a crime.

we can infer, since you were at the scene earlier, that you bombed the bakery

it's entirely plausible you are the bomber

[gentle trail]

You suck at logic.

That's not a valid inference.

[fluid ridge]

but it's also entirely plausible you aren't

[fluid ridge]

how would you make a valid inference

[gentle trail]

With circumstantial evidence

Being somewhere public isn't that.

[fluid ridge]

so what would be the circumstantial evidence in this analogy

perhaps the man has to go to the bathroom for an oddly long time?

[gentle trail]

Being seen at the bakery at 4 AM dressed in all black with a flashlight?

[fluid ridge]

that works too

[gentle trail]

Yea, someone doing that should be treated differently, no?

Or should the cops just roll past and ignore him?

[fluid ridge]

it's entirely plausible you planted that bomb, but it's also entirely plausible you were staking the place out

[gentle trail]

Because that person would be Kaspersky.

[fluid ridge]

the point i am attempting to get across is taking a very convincing non-fact and saying it as fact does not make it a fact

[outer siren]

Works pretty well for that Rufo guy.

[gentle trail]

I don't disagree, but not what anybody was discussing.

I'm pointing out that if there's strong evidence that an organization is doing something malicious you should probably avoid them.

And you called me a xenophobe for that.

And refuted all the evidence because a Wikipedia article said allegedly.

[fluid ridge]

but is that not what you were doing? you took a very convincing article with plenty of information and circumstantial evidence, but this article denotes itself by saying "we are just putting 2 and 2 together, we have not actually proved it" and straight up said that kaspersky worked for russian intelligence as fact

[fluid ridge]

no, i said if you refuse to use software because of country of origin and country of origin alone, you are xenophobic

[fluid ridge]

#public-chat message

[gentle trail]

Yea, because I've actually followed the topic for a while and I'm not stupid enough to think a Wikipedia article saying allegedly is the end-all.

That's why I kept telling you to go look into it.

[graceful burrow]

What is even goin on here lmao

[gentle trail]

But you refused entirely.

[fluid ridge]

right but i am attempting to explain why i refuse to do so

[gentle trail]

Trying to get this idiot to quit recommending Kaspersky.

[graceful burrow]

Just use windows defender ezpz

[fluid ridge]

back to the house analogy, when you build a house on an unstable foundation, the house is unstable too no matter how well you built it

[full fossil]

windows defender is amazing

[gentle trail]

Yea, and you keep making egregious and blatant mistakes in your logic and instead of reviewing where the mistake was you double-down.

[graceful burrow]

Shoutouts to windows defender

[fluid ridge]

#public-chat message

[gentle trail]

Your house metaphor, like the rest of your metaphors, is fucking awful.

[fluid ridge]

this message sums why up perfectly

[gentle trail]

Lol

[manic torrent]

I just see two green people fighting and I want to get popcorn

[full fossil]

i was gonna post kermit the frog battle

[fluid ridge]

i have no interest in continuing this hour long giant circle, i hope you have a good night bud im out for the night

maybe tomorrow we should hop on a voice chat and sort this shit out

[gentle trail]

Nah, I don't want to waste more time on an idiot who clearly has no intention of listening.

[graceful burrow]

Booo

[fluid ridge]

same could be said about you, but it is what it is

[graceful burrow]

Fight fight fight fight

[gentle trail]

You didn't read the information provided then continued on your asinine assertions. You have no intention of listening.

[fluid ridge]

#public-chat message

ok im really going to bed now

[gentle trail]

You didn't listen when the issue with your dictionary definition claims was pointed out, you didn't listen when you continued your shitty analogy.

You keep linking that like it's not complete nonsense.

I don't normally continue with idiots that long but what he was claiming was straight up dangerous.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah someone could have DIED

[gentle trail]

IKR! He was telling people Kaspersky was fine and that it was the best AV.

And he got way too hung up on a single Wikipedia page saying allegedly.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah someone could have DIED

[gentle trail]

Huh, Kaspersky died skydiving a few years back.

[urban talon]

I'm curious now, what antivirus y all use nowadays ? Personally I have just windows defender when I'm on windows

[graceful burrow]

Windows defender with malwarebytes as a sanity check program

[gentle trail]

I run the ESET and Hitman Pro offline scanners every month or two and run everything I download that's not off of Steam or something through virustotal.

Plus I have an older laptop I use for stuff like banking that I don't do anything else on.

An old 6200u thinkpad

Windows Defender always seemed fine, I was just never that fond of active scanning.

[wispy marsh]

Windows firewall with windows defender as a backup

wtf why is this meme so funny

[wise tundra]

Would it cause an issue if I'd coil up my SATA cable?

I don't have shorter than 30cm SATA cables and it gotta fit in a very tight space

[full fossil]

is the steelseries rival 310 good?

[marble blaze]

I've just used Windows Defender for a long time now, it's not too bad now.

Used to have AVG on all my machines, they got WAY to resource heavy for my liking so I gave up with them

[urban talon]

I had Avast, then Kaspersky then Avira then Kaspersky again to just stop using antiviruses

But I don't know what to recommend in general when it's for others around me, i do trust enough myself but solutions like Kaspersky and others are like automated scans and stuff so might be easier for the less tech savy persons ?

[fossil frost]

built in windows defender is fine on its own now

they all use the same definitions and share their databases

[inner flicker]

probably not
as long as you don't bend it so harshly you break the cable

[wise tundra]

I hope I can find a shorter cable but haven't been able to find yet

[dull granite]

if particles move faster when hotter then why PCs are slowing down when hot?

like electrons ect

[full fossil]

more resistance within the silicone

because the silicone moves in the way of the electrons more

i believe atleast

[upbeat ridge]

Accidentally got a pro windows license and not a home so reinstalling windows🥲

Aka I was annoyed by the water mark

[full fossil]

f's

[full fossil]

isnt there some free software that gets rid of it?

[upbeat ridge]

Oh probably

[wanton glade]

💀

[upbeat ridge]

But this just resolves the remove suggestions from the windows menu

[wanton glade]

just crack windows bro (jk)

[upbeat ridge]

||and it is not expensive if you’re willing to go sketchy||

[wanton glade]

but for some reason, when I reinstalled it, I didn't get asked for a license, weird

[full fossil]

also linux is an option 💀

[wanton glade]

yes

I'm tryna download it, get some sick custom gui and shit
