Google definitely pays better than any local shitty HR software company around me

[fluid ridge]

really? IIRC the average salary of a meta software engineer was past the 200k a year mark

hell, roblox pays it's software engineers an average of 80 dollars an hour

[fossil frost]

200k would be the top salary, there is no way that is the average salary without there being a bunch of qualifiers around it

[fluid ridge]

https://www.levels.fyi/companies/roblox/salaries/software-engineer

bruh they get paid 233k entry level?

bruhhhhhh

[quiet jetty]

Tbf, wouldn't be surprised if they had the largest servers known to man

[ocean narwhal]

wtf

Theres no way thats real

[quiet jetty]

Somebody's gotta protect them

[fluid ridge]

god damn i need to work at roblox holy shit

them kids got deep wallets

[acoustic pond]

Mean I have servers in my house?

[woeful minnow]

*them kids' parents

[fluid ridge]

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt trust what you read on those sites... having worked for companies that make those sites, i can tell you that they dramatically alter what you see

[fluid ridge]

ah

[south knot]

yo guys quick question

[ocean narwhal]

quick question

[fluid ridge]

i have a slow question

[gilded plinth]

slow answer

[graceful burrow]

This is a really slow question

[south knot]

one of my switches on my keyboard (the actual switch not the keycap) is rattling, should i be worried

[echo ridge]

This is slow typing

[acoustic pond]

I have a question for your question

[echo ridge]

Press harder

[south knot]

ok ok fine it was slow

[graceful burrow]

Replace switch ezpz

[acoustic pond]

have you tried turning it off and on again

[south knot]

prebuilt

[graceful burrow]

So?

[ember maple]

For what reason

[echo ridge]

So?

[south knot]

razer

[graceful burrow]

Okay
So?

[gilded plinth]

I kinda feel like all my switches are doing that-

[echo ridge]

Which one

[fossil frost]

https://www.metacareers.com/v2/jobs/196257622723615/ <<< software engineer leader... $262,000 - $276,000/year depending on location... so they certainly are not paying the "average" engineer above 200k

[graceful burrow]

Desolder the old switch and solder on a new one

[fluid ridge]

have you tried buying a new keyboard?

[fluid ridge]

ah i see

[south knot]

these answers are amazing

[graceful burrow]

Idk what you expected

[south knot]

the actual base moves?

[fluid ridge]

my solution works 100% of the time btw

[south knot]

idk either tbh

[graceful burrow]

"no the thing that's actually broken is fine don't worry"

[acoustic pond]

homelab projects with my switch to play with different stuff hands on, like with cisco's nx-os, setting up vmware, building new enviroments for testing like AD and so on

[fossil frost]

https://www.metacareers.com/v2/jobs/569849941587831/ <<< director of application management $268,000/year

[gilded plinth]

a bit, not much

[south knot]

funny dude ngl

[ember maple]

Was it expensive?

[graceful burrow]

I do mean it btw
Solder on a new switch

[south knot]

then ig i shouldnt be worried

[graceful burrow]

Ez fix

3 minute fix max

[south knot]

not ez for me, maybe for u

[acoustic pond]

no it was all free with the half rack, one of the perks of decomming datacenters. Lots of work but lots of free stuff

[ember maple]

Damn

[echo ridge]

Just dump the razer keyboard

[graceful burrow]

Pinecil costs 30 bucks and can save equipment that costs thousands of dollars
Seems a good investment to learn even basic soldering

[echo ridge]

Buy keychron

[graceful burrow]

This for real
The fact that someone is having build quality issues with a razer product is hilarious

[echo ridge]

I don't like soldering i dropped the iron on my hand

[south knot]

ill keep that in mind

[echo ridge]

But I know how to do it

[graceful burrow]

Skill issue

[fossil frost]

its not even hard to learn basic soldering with even a cheapo amazon iron, i managed it

[echo ridge]

I learned from school

[fluid ridge]

[graceful burrow]

I've burnt myself pretty badly on my iron
The funnest hobbies are often dangerous

[fossil frost]

most fun hobbies are dangerous too

[fluid ridge]

play video games

very undangerous

[echo ridge]

Games aren't dangerous

[dusky cedar]

just the controllers

[fossil frost]

i accidentally stabbed myself in the hand with my soldering iron while trying to desolder something, managed to electrocute myself while building electronics... managed to electrocute myself building a pc, and also stab myself while building a pc, managed to break my toe while gaming (dropped the controller on my foot), managed to crash and break several bones during a cycle race, also managed to break a rib in a running race once... so yeah, fun hobbies are dangerous 😄

[dusky cedar]

[fluid ridge]

W

at least he touches grass man

[dusky cedar]

I also broke toe

[echo ridge]

What is grass

I only know snow

[vapid smelt]

Laughs in 30hp lathe

[fossil frost]

so... you only have 1 arm? or.. no scalp? 😁

[twin raptor]

I ain't screwed up yet... one dumbass at my college tried to stop the lathe WITH HIS OWN STRENGTH and broke his ankles and tore part of his arm... natural selection at its finest

[fossil frost]

i can imagine the teacher seeing him about to do it and thinking "i could stop him... but i could also let him be a valuable lesson to the rest of the class"

[twin raptor]

Student did this after shop hours

Friend hit the building e-stop and saved him

The motor was in low gear, he would have been eaten

Chocolate milk as thermal paste?

Strawberry milk for liquid cooling?

[hearty spear]

toothpaste for paste

[manic torrent]

This is normal stuff..... isn't it?

[fossil frost]

yep... just what happens when you have hobbies that involves doing stuff

[manic torrent]

what the actual fuck

[wheat monolith]

man how the fuck. I work on electronics for a living and the worst I've done is a couple minor finger burns and a couple of light 240VAC stings

[fossil frost]

im bad at soldering, i use waaaaay too much pressure when its starting to piss me off

and when i did use too much pressure, i slipped

[wheat monolith]

using too much pressure is a quick way to fuck up the internal circuitry of the board

if you need that much pressure to make solder flow: you are using way too little heat, using a shitty tip(or it wasn't cleaned after letting it heat up, or it wasn't left dirty after use)... otherwise, use flux.

[dull granite]

nooo

just found out

there's a youtuber thats seems cool but they start goin political and starts with "this game was made to please the SJWs"

sucks man 😰😰😰😰

(yes im talking about Act Man)

[leaden gale]

I'm more interested to know what game it was

[dull granite]

call of duty wwii

it was a pretty mid game so i excepted him to talk shit

(talking shit i would agree with)

[leaden gale]

Did he explain why he thought the game was SJW pandering?

Head over to #build-a-pc, we should be able to help you come up with a good parts list

[frosty pier]

Thanks

[dull granite]

because 1) there was one black character 2) there was one female characters that didn't deserve act man's right to be a female character in a war themed videogame

said something like "theres a female character for sake of being a female character"

[leaden gale]

I mean

Was the character directly engaged in combat

[dull granite]

ye

i think i remember from one gameplay video

undercover cod mission or something similar

[leaden gale]

Then there is somewhat of a point to be made there, though it's not without precedent; Battlefield V did it first, if my memory serves

[fossil frost]

so... wanting to test the opengpt chatbot.. just asked it to create an app for me. to see how close it got to the app i had just written... to be fair to it... it got about 60% of the way there to the small tool i wrote, and with 2 extra requests to it, it got about 75% of the way there, and i just had to manipulate the extra which were very hard to put into words to ask it to do... very impressive, and like i said, will replace a lot of the donkey work and boilerplate code for devs, but the intricate stuff, never gonna be good enough for that

[plain dome]

good evening folks!

[leaden gale]

👋

[night heron]

[full fossil]

what makes it such a good evening

[leaden gale]

Real Gandalf vibes with this response

[full fossil]

did you just call me old and wise?

[plain dome]

absoulutely nothing, im supposed to be doign maths homework that is due in 40 minutes but im doing the better thing of talking in a tech server

[full fossil]

do ur hw

[plain dome]

but that is far too much effort

[leaden gale]

It's literally just numbers

There's nothing to fear there

[plain dome]

theres everything to fear

[manic torrent]

50* 1.5 = 75

[full fossil]

debt is scarier than just getting a passing grade

[fossil frost]

😄

[full fossil]

unless ur just dumb as rocks then we cant do much sorry

[manic torrent]

said 90 because 1.5 was an hour and half, 90 minutes 🙂

[full fossil]

i hate math

[fossil frost]

ahh... ive done similar things a few times... assuming there are 100 minutes in a hour when i wasnt thinking

[manic torrent]

context is we had a cleaner quote for 4 hours work - two people for two hours. he came by himself for 1.5 hours, still billed for the full quote.

[fossil frost]

punch him in the dick

[full fossil]

was it clean?

was the price bad? do you want to get to that same level of clean for your pay?

[fossil frost]

doesnt matter.. if you pay for 4 hours and they clean for 1.5 hours... it could have been made cleaner

[full fossil]

Exactly

[manic torrent]

it was 90 minutes clean.

[full fossil]

90 minutes clean may still be 150 more minutes than you want to spend cleaning at the same price point clean

at your rate

fire them, get a new person. have them fix it. rewrite the contract. pointless banter for business decisions but yes

people suck. third parties really suck.

we have this one contracted janitorial service that just wets the floors but its still cleaner and cheaper than anything else so w/e

dont give af

[manic torrent]

yeah look we just want someone who does what they say they will do?

or at least - within a margin of error

[full fossil]

put it in the contract

if its not in the contract ur just assuming they know what you think they said they would do

if its in writing you can argue it in court

[manic torrent]

We also had another cleaner come for 1hr (2 people) after quoting for 1.5 hours, and when we called them on it they just resent the invoice, didn't even apologise

[fossil frost]

one of my biggest peeves is people not doing their job properly... it really pisses me off... i dont care how much you like your job, how much your job is worth doing... how menial or important your job is... just do your fucking job properly

[full fossil]

just make your own cleaning llc and bill your company and go do it

[manic torrent]

This is for our house

[full fossil]

you can llc your own house

pay yourself

[manic torrent]

and the whole point is that I don't want to clean my house.

[fossil frost]

neither do i, thats why my GF lives here 😄

[full fossil]

put what you NEED in the contract

[manic torrent]

but it's to the point wher it's more work managing fucking cleaners than doing it myself

[full fossil]

i need this corner of this toilet cleaned with a q-tip

exactly lol

[leaden gale]

Holy shit lmao

[full fossil]

i mean i literally clean my toilet with a q-tip for crevices. i would tell a cleaning service exactly my conditions required

[fossil frost]

im clearly joking... if i actually said that to her, she would slap the shit out of me... although she does do all the cleaning... i do attempt to help, but she says things like "fuck off, you are in the way"

[manic torrent]

Contracts aren't the issue at all - people aren't doing what they said they would do.

[full fossil]

sue for breach of contract

[manic torrent]

I don't want that, I want someone to DO it.

[full fossil]

if u have a contract and theyu breach it you come out whole

[fossil frost]

time in court, is time not spent cleaning

[full fossil]

that includes having to hire someone else and write the same contract

but contract law is another beast i guess

[manic torrent]

I don't want that energy

[full fossil]

id love to sit you on a comfortable little couch recliner thing and hear more about it

[manic torrent]

I have enough shit to worry about

[full fossil]

but its 300 an hour

[manic torrent]

my therapist is $180 for a 45 minute session.

[fossil frost]

the problem isnt having to deal with the bullshit that comes out of people not doing what they said they would... the problem is that people should just fucking do what they said they would and not be arseholes

and people know they can get away with it, because most people cant be arsed with the hassle of doing anything about it

[manic torrent]

Exactly

Changed it to report power usage, that's much more interesting

[plain dome]

whered you find those

ive been looking for that kinda thing for so long

[manic torrent]

Find what? Stream deck with hwinfo

https://github.com/shayne/hwinfo-streamdeck

[plain dome]

i dont have an option for shared memory support?

[muted relic]

Didn't know they were releasing a Sega Genesis Mini 2.

Well that's neat. They did kinda blow their load with the good games on the first one, particually with the Sonic stuff.

[plain dome]

nvm found it

[muted relic]

They could have included those for anyone that missed the first Genesis mini

I am still upset over the PS1 mini.

That was such a disappointment. The library was really bare, and it didn't have Dualshocks. why

[gilded quest]

Change it to calculate how much the current power draw costs per hour

[manic torrent]

to what end? I don't care.

[gilded quest]

For funzies

[manic torrent]

it would be around 8c

[hearty spear]

Didn't the first one kinda bomb? (I mean it wasn't the Playstation mini, but I thought it did poorly)

[muted relic]

The problem with the first one is that it only really had Sonic and like 2 other things worth a damn

Now this one has everything else, but without Sonic it's still not good.

[hearty spear]

And it had PAL ISOs

[edgy moss]

should i get my gf a ltt waterbottle

she needs a new waterbottle

[plain dome]

yes (im not being payed to say this (or am i))

[hearty spear]

Genesis had a bunch of really good RPGs back in the day. They should come back

[edgy moss]

youre british eh

what part of britain?

[plain dome]

noo...

yorkshire

[edgy moss]

not a real place

[plain dome]

oh okay

jk

ive got a friend who lives in lancashire

[plain dome]

thats like

[edgy moss]

im aware

the joke is that (i think) yorkshire isnt an official region

[plain dome]

county, not region

[fossil frost]

yorkshire is a county, lancashire is a county too

[full fossil]

my pc (windows 10) keeps turning off when i dont use it, and i would like to have it on for auto updates on games and such, anyone know a reason for it to do that?

[plain dome]

itll be something in the power settings

[fossil frost]

yeah, its in the power settings, its supposed to do it

very very very wasteful to have it running when you arent using it

[plain dome]

Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings

[full fossil]

true true but i also have a server on it

ive already got that on never

[leaden gale]

Understandable

[graceful burrow]

Weeks of troubleshooting is literally half the fun

It's a puzzle
And I really like puzzles

[raw plover]

I really like not having existential dread when living

[fossil frost]

yeah, but people like linus, and me, and lots of other people, who live like that all the time anyway... it makes no difference to us to add some more dread to our lives

[raw plover]

sunk cost fallacy lookin mf

[manic torrent]

.... you picked the wrong species/planet/etc

[raw plover]

[fossil frost]

tbh, being an animal is all about living in constant existential dread... its sort of what keeps us alive

[manic torrent]

If you don't have existenstial dread it's for one of two reasons. You're either a straight up psychopath, or you're ignorant.

[low rain]

Usually I chew my nails but orthodontist said started today no mo

i made a post in tech support its titled (gpu problem (6600xt))

Hey looking to get my friend a game for the holidays. She’s busy and dosent have too much time to relax so I was looking for something that was fun but causalish so it wouldn’t the kind of game you suddenly realize you spent all night playing

Oh should say this would ideally be on Steam

((Bonus points if it has online multi))

Well that automatically rules Stick Fight out

UNO is usually a safe bet

But then again, UNO is about as casual as Mario Party and Monopoly: it is casual - until it isn't

why does my laptop battery drain so fast

[leaden gale]

Because it's either heavily worn or Windows Modern Standby is back at it again at Krispy Kreme

[manic torrent]

because WavesSvc Audio whateever is running and is a huge piece of shit

dude. you're shilling for Kanye. Nobody should be listening to you

[hybrid shell]

whats wrong with that?

what does that even mean?

[leaden gale]

Uhh something something Kanye something something anti-semite

At least as far as Bob is concerned

[hybrid shell]

hmm

[manic torrent]

dude, he is unhinged. like literally. he is going through a complete breakdown and mental health crisis.

[hollow drift]

i got it new, a week ago

[leaden gale]

Are you leaving it turned on and unplugged for extended periods of time

[full fossil]

i mean my gpu is the reason its that hot (sits right under it without a heat shield also i don't have games on it)

na its cuz i lost the heat shield, im not <75 iq

[hollow drift]

no

[leaden gale]

I'm gonna keep it real with you, chief: this is a really odd place to start going on about Kanye

[hollow drift]

i always keep it plugged

[leaden gale]

What model of laptop is it

The exact model number as listed on the labeling

[hollow drift]

msi gp66 leopard

[leaden gale]

Do you have the exact model number so I can see the specs? It should be on a label somewhere on your laptop itself or on the box.

[hollow drift]

can i tell u the specs

[leaden gale]

Yeah, I suppose that'll do

[hollow drift]

i7 11800h 3070 16 gb ram 500 gb storage

jeez

3070 in a laptop???

[leaden gale]

3070 Mobile

[pearl pollen]

mmm

interesting

thats cool never heard of it till now

[full fossil]

gaeming laptops be like lmao

[leaden gale]

I mean, practically every single dedicated GPU that's in a laptop is a mobile oriented GPU, regardless of it sharing a model name with a desktop chip

[manic torrent]

they have mobile 3080s

[full fossil]

dont they have mobile 3090's

[leaden gale]

Again, of all the places you could pick to talk about Kanye, why here

[full fossil]

brev its legitimately a joke, ik how to spell gaming

[manic torrent]

probably, but all mobile nvidia cards are really determined more by power budget than by model number

[leaden gale]

You do realize he'd probably be the first person to tell you those assertions are wrong, right?

[full fossil]

ah ok tyty

[leaden gale]

Yep, because they've made it needlessly complicated now

[manic torrent]

like a 3080 can be slower than a 3070 with a higher power budget

[full fossil]

do you want a 1.5-page essay that I've written or what?

[leaden gale]

Well, more like them along with the laptop OEMs

you're clearly a troll. Or an idiot. Or an idiot troll.

you only see me talk when you're here, because when you're not here, you don't see it.

[full fossil]

prolly both tbh

[manic torrent]

how should I dismiss him?

[full fossil]

think he meant diss him

nope im fine with my life rn

[manic torrent]

absolutely, it's a horrible story, and I feel bad for him. Doesn't mean he had nothing to do with it.

Nobody who is sane is jealous of Kanye

[full fossil]

haven't even heard of the song

since im fine with my life im not jealous of anyone's life

proves my point further

[manic torrent]

The thing is - it doesn't matter if he means it or not. When you say that, it has impacts. If you say hateful things publically, whether you mean it or not is mostly irrelevant

[full fossil]

not jealous of that either

[manic torrent]

yeah but he is BEING a bad dude.

[full fossil]

i defo dont want bad fame and also fame is usually not always good, im fine being a person in the crowd

[manic torrent]

you don't know shit.

no, your jokes are just unfunny.

[full fossil]

meh he saw you today soooo

doesnt even get it

damn self-reflective a bit much?

[manic torrent]

The moral of the story is, anyone stanning for Kanye is part of the problem, not the solution.

[full fossil]

kanye wont either

[manic torrent]

absolutely impossible.

[full fossil]

about ur life

watch what lmao

[manic torrent]

yes, he does, but he quite literally needs to be committed for his own safety and the safety of others.

[full fossil]

what is that sentence lmao, also you have to have brains to understand languages and how they work

[manic torrent]

supporting anything other than getting him better mental health care is the problem.

what does that even mean. You like R kelly?

[full fossil]

you're self-reflecting on your life, im talking about you being able to understand written texts

[manic torrent]

death of the author....

[muted cairn]

Isn't R Kelly like going to jail?

[full fossil]

it does to someone competent lmao

[manic torrent]

yes. he is a fucking horrible person.

[full fossil]

yes, also who's

[graceful burrow]

If we're talking about the same dude he was not german

[full fossil]

ur name is misspelt

[manic torrent]

ok <@&750150305383186585> this has gone far enough, @full fossil out here apologising for murderous dictators.

[full fossil]

remove that then

[manic torrent]

I am choosing not to engage with you because you're an idiot.

[graceful burrow]

<@&750150305383186585> i know dual tagging doesn't do anything but what the fuck?

Can we please change the subject?

[full fossil]

you are legitimately stupid lmao

[manic torrent]

That's what I was trying to do 🙂

[full fossil]

yes that ie the word that

HUUUUUUUUUUH

closeish

[full fossil]

o k google it

in other words

[heady flicker]

looks like a powercolor model

[full fossil]

dont ask me

[manic torrent]

yeah it is. Bought specifically for its smaller size

[graceful burrow]

OH
Its a fucking
Egpu enclosure

But without the enclosure

[manic torrent]

and the wires?

[full fossil]

ill send in ur dms

[graceful burrow]

Soldered directly to the board you're pulling for the vga?

OH

[full fossil]

its a written explanation by grammarly

[graceful burrow]

It's input
You're
Powering an Egpu board with another actual power supply?

I'm lost

[manic torrent]

yes, it's input, but the actual power supply is part of the egpu enclosure (flexatx)

[graceful burrow]

No clue then
I can get as far as recognizing it's a modified Egpu enclosure but not further

[manic torrent]

The plug on the egpu motherboard is the ATX plug.

apparently he does lmao, he got mad cuz i spelt gaming as gaeming (was joking)

[graceful burrow]

What's the end goal here

[muted cairn]

You need to download grammarly.com

[full fossil]

actually have it lmao

huh

[muted cairn]

Why is there so many trolls lately @manic torrent

[manic torrent]

The ATX plug and the video card wanted to coexist. I cut it off the board, soldered on half an extension, and cut the power plug in half, so it's still all plugged in, and it's still all ATX, but it fits 🙂

[graceful burrow]

OH

[manic torrent]

kids being kids.

[full fossil]

i used a medical term which you also used before me

[graceful burrow]

Oh so the plug was too big

[edgy moss]

its a gpu

[muted cairn]

@peak pebble No thanks I'm too tired atm. I just had to install a new power outlet with new wires from my fuse box in my basement.

[full fossil]

medical but ok

[pearl pollen]

oh

[muted cairn]

Kids should be in bed it's a school night

[full fossil]

no way a gpu is in there

[full fossil]

agreed lmao, me included

[graceful burrow]

I love it

[full fossil]

"how good are you at computers" bob: "yes"

[heady flicker]

what laptop model is that btw, looks sleek

[manic torrent]

XPS13

[manic torrent]

haha yes, basically.

This is the plug from the FlexATX power supply

[heady flicker]

ah, quite pricey

[full fossil]

im guessing you have a lot of free time lmao

[manic torrent]

incorrect, I work full time and I have a 5 year old son

I made this, that was a lot of fun

[full fossil]

o k so no free time yet does stuff that i cant do with like 8 hours of free time lmao

[full fossil]

icl that looks like you used a bunch of 3d printers parts for lmao

[manic torrent]

Also quite proud of this remote control bubble machine modified with only cheap spare parts. and yeah I did. I also have a 3D printer, but it's in pieces right now

[full fossil]

what printer?

also did you program for that bubble machine?

[manic torrent]

It was an A8, but it has been significantly modified, 32 bit controller, different head, yadda yadda

no, that was the magic, I didn't need to program it at all, that's taking the electronics from a cheap RC car and adapting it to the bubble machine.

[full fossil]

lemme guess the lack of free time makes the 3d printer not be up and running rn?

[manic torrent]

So could I. The entire point wasn't to do it better, it was to do it cheap.

[full fossil]

so like soldering the rc cars "brain" (cant remember what its called) to like an automated bubble machine?

[manic torrent]

also the robot arm you saw was actually being driven by an ESP32. The control signals just went to that first

[manic torrent]

reciever and ESC

[full fossil]

ive honestly not dabbled that much into control systems lmao

[full fossil]

theres the words lmao

[manic torrent]

This is my latest project, and I just got the ESC to control the focal length too.

[full fossil]

i wish i knew how to code

I am going to in a year as a school course

[wraith sonnet]

I'm finally doing it

[manic torrent]

❤️ companion cube

[full fossil]

why not do it flat on the build plate?

wouldn't it save supports?

[wraith sonnet]

gonna need to paint it once it's done

Should I do the portal 1 or 2 style?

[full fossil]

why not both (print 2 cubes)

[wraith sonnet]

I need more white filament

[full fossil]

ah ok, what printer also?

[wraith sonnet]

monoprice select mini v2, I had Adam Savage sign it at salt lake comiccon too

[full fossil]

its a cute one

[fluid ridge]

is there like a uBlockOrigin for your entire computer

ad and tracker blocking not just on your browser

[hollow pulsar]

Are you working on adjusting zoom and focus at the same time so one doesn’t get that “breathing” effect when changing focus?

[hollow pulsar]

Pihole?

[fluid ridge]

i have a pihole

the problem is that everything i use, from spotify to steam to discord collects copius amounts of data

[manic torrent]

honestly.... I'm just making it work and having fun 😄

[fluid ridge]

and pihole isnt sufficient

[manic torrent]

and you understand NOTHING about how that happens, which is why you ask this question

[fluid ridge]

well yeah

[hollow pulsar]

Neat! But know that what I described is a feature costing thousands of dollars on higher-end lenses. You could very well have a professional feature for way less. Well done.

[fluid ridge]

why else would i ask how to stop shit like telementary and other things logged en masse

[manic torrent]

oh yeah, the cost to do this wiith cameras is expensive as FUCK

[hollow pulsar]

You’re looking for a proxy server then. Good luck because it requires custom cert installation and it’s basically a royal pain

[fluid ridge]

why does ublockorigin not exist as a desktop application

[hollow pulsar]

If you have say, $50,000 to drop on a lens, why are you even on this server?

[fluid ridge]

when you run discord on a browser with ublock and a couple of other anti-tracking extensions, it goes crazy

[full fossil]

if your not paying for a service you are the product lmao

[fluid ridge]

yeah but surely there is a way of minimizing this

[hollow pulsar]

Proxy server. All requests get routed through it and you can allow or deny connections.

[wind lagoon]

Poverty

[fluid ridge]

this sounds like a lot of work

[full fossil]

prolly, im not the right person to ask about that tho lmao

[dusky cedar]

pi micro?

[fluid ridge]

bob isnt poor hes just always apologetic about having money

[hollow pulsar]

It is. Welcome to encrypted everything. Proxy servers used to be super easy to set up and worked really, really well.

[fluid ridge]

at this point im bout to run discord from firefox

with ublock and my other extensions running

[finite cloud]

i think they're different models. looks like you have the portal 1 companion cube

[full fossil]

why not on ToR lmao

[fluid ridge]

discord will flag tor

[hollow pulsar]

Your presence here indicates your wallet is not as large as you indicate.

[fluid ridge]

discord will flag any VPN too and trigger anti-spam measures

for example, unbeatable captchas

[wind pulsar]

Uhuh, that's cool, what do you do for a living then?

[manic torrent]

ummm no I think it's just an atmega384 or something

[fluid ridge]

and another downside to tor is that the speed is shit

[full fossil]

ah ok, wasnt there a way to get around that flagging thing?

[full fossil]

agreed on that one icl

[fluid ridge]

on tor? definitely not

[dusky cedar]

ok, just looked like a nice form factor

[fluid ridge]

maybe you can get away with it on a vpn

[wind pulsar]

Does that mean my wallet isn't as large as I thought because I'm on this server? 🤔

[manic torrent]

yeah it is, nice and small, but not TOO small. I have a curated selection of microcontroller boards 🙂

[full fossil]

huh, might've been outdated advice then but i do remember them saying that vpn after ToR (idk how) fixed the youtube flagging

[fluid ridge]

if discord will flag tor google is definitely flagging tor

[hollow pulsar]

No. I’m saying anyone who can drop $50,000 on a camera lens wouldn’t be here because they would just pay someone to accomplish the goal.

Just take Linus for example. 🙂

[full fossil]

mightve been my mind then

[wind pulsar]

I mean.. I could theoretically buy a dozen of these lenses if I wanted to and I'm still here

[wind pulsar]

I'd get my butt whooped if I did, but still

[fluid ridge]

hey maybe you did get around it

[hollow pulsar]

Allow me to correct my statement. Instead of “can” I should have used “would”

[wind pulsar]

x')

[fluid ridge]

but i just tried to go on youtube with tor and now i have 37 captchas to do

[full fossil]

found the vid lmao, you want it sent to your dm's?

[fluid ridge]

i dont doubt you did it

im just saying it's not letting me do it

[full fossil]

lmao maybe try what he did

[fluid ridge]

We've detected something out of the ordinary going on, and we want to keep you and the community safe. To continue using Discord, we will need you to verify your account.

what a tragedy

[full fossil]

im not that hard into privacy lmao

[fluid ridge]

eh

[full fossil]

f's

[fluid ridge]

i wouldnt call myself needing to use a satellite phone and live off grid and stuff but i care more than your average person would

for example i pay 3 dollars a month for protonmail

and i bothered to set up a pihole

[full fossil]

i also do, but i use ToR for some other stuff lmao ()

[fluid ridge]

let us hope it is within the parameters of the law

[full fossil]

ofc ofc, sweden has a loose enforcment

grammarly bugged out lmao

[fluid ridge]

sweden falls under GDPR right?

[full fossil]

yup

[fluid ridge]

not that it matters because discord ignores GDPR

[full fossil]

dont almost every large social media company

[fluid ridge]

actually surprisingly google and meta are very compliant with GDPR

[full fossil]

tik tok on the other hands lmao

[full fossil]

didnt meta get sued for invading on privacy

[fluid ridge]

idk but bytedance needs to comply with GDPR for it's european users

[fluid ridge]

this is in north america then

google getting fined for GDPR violation has happened before but it is quite rare, and i believe the same goes for meta

[full fossil]

i wouldnt expect it to

[fluid ridge]

nvm

meta got fined 265 million euros a week ago for breaching gdpr

google is the good one here not meta

[full fossil]

i hardly believe they stopped violating, just tried to cover it

[full fossil]

lmao there it is

[fluid ridge]

dont they need to let inspectors read their codebase or something

[full fossil]

always been imo, but google is also not one that im educated in

[fluid ridge]

im not familiar with how gdpr verification works but

[full fossil]

wrong person to ask lmao

[full fossil]

cant say i am

[fluid ridge]

oh well it is what it is

[full fossil]

sleep for 5 hours or fix my sleep schedule?

[runic lagoon]

Google got hit with the ftc a few years ago.

[fluid ridge]

whether it be meta taking a 300 million dollar fine or discord taking an 800 thousand dollar fine these giant corporations wont stop mining data

i should just accept it

[runic lagoon]

Getting up every day at the same time. Going to bed at the same time. Getting 8 hours of sleep every night.

[fluid ridge]

ftc regulations are much looser than europeans are with data protection

[full fossil]

most people that know about it do lmao

[fluid ridge]

i believe california is the only state where a user can legally ask for their data not to be sold

[full fossil]

problem for me as i like to sleep in and we have a weird schedule here lmao, one day start at 11:20 the other 8:30

[fluid ridge]

google probably got comfortable and overstepped a little bit

[runic lagoon]

In the case of YouTube. They changed it so they don’t knowingly track children.

[runic lagoon]

That sucks

[fluid ridge]

probably because they were forced to by COPPA

[full fossil]

could fix it by waking up at 7 each morning but yea sleep is important for some days

[fluid ridge]

if coppa didnt exist i bet google would be more than happy to serve manipulative and highly tailored ads to your 5yo

[full fossil]

icl i googled COPPA and pastries came up

[fluid ridge]

coppa stands for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

[runic lagoon]

Not knowingly is such a loophole. Like they basically track you till. But there not a better way atm. Unless your going to ask every one are you 18 or older.

[heady flicker]

coppa is like a joke half the time

[full fossil]

here its a type of meant, scratch pastries it was full on food lmao

[fluid ridge]

surely congress couldnt have changed one letter and made it into EOPPA (everyone's online privacy protection act)

it's like having a fucking "baby on board" sticker, like bro adults want to live too 😭

[vapid smelt]

coppa bad coopa good

[fluid ridge]

article 13 sounds really stupid

like really fucking stupid

[full fossil]

it is imo

[fluid ridge]

"Article 13 of the EU Copyright Directive states services such as YouTube could be held responsible if their users upload copyright-protected movies and music."

[hollow pulsar]

That’s an industry killer right there. Further entrenches the big guys and makes it basically impossible for startups.

[runic lagoon]

I had to remind an adult company it was a bad idea to spam .edu sites with adult ads. Like hey you know this could be crime by doing this right.

arctic 420mm is probably one of the most powerful aios you can buy

[finite cloud]

Cooper good too

[full fossil]

welcome to the EU lmao, its supposed to be 2021 but i havent noticed anything lmao

[fluid ridge]

the biggest thing is it puts the blame on the thing that's not doing anything wrong

imagine someone killing another person in your house, and you getting charged with murder because it happened in your house

[full fossil]

yea might be a TOS breaking of my part tho since i said i was 18+ when making my yt/google acc

[fluid ridge]

this is some top tier EU legislation (the best they've come up with in years)

[runic lagoon]

Probable nothing will till they’re threatened. And then they’ll claim it was not enough time.

[runic lagoon]

Some companies allow it if your parents consent for you. Like we’re ok with you tracking our child and selling their information. Google is getting better at making their services more age appropriate.

[full fossil]

id also claim that its not a good policy but yea that wouldnt end favourably for me lmao

[full fossil]

my dad would never lmao

[fluid ridge]

wouldn't this be a problem with google ad services or the edu website themselves

[full fossil]

unless it was those ToS that was like 100 pages long and had one sentence in the midd that said it

[hallow quiver]

The guy who abandoned life after graduating and just lived in the wild. He hiked out to the Alaskan wilderness and stayed there for 100 days before dying

In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter.  How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild.

Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir.  In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his  cash.  He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and , unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented.  Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away.  Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild.

Do you want my real answer or do you want me to make something up that's completely insane

[full fossil]

why not both lmao

[unreal thorn]

This is proof that it's not actually Linus and that it's an animatronic. In order to keep the cap from falling off, it's stitched onto his head. You can also see for example that his neck is completely and unnaturally still. This is because, as a cost saving measure, they opted NOT to give the animatronic a neck that does anything except for swivel because it stays in a chair at all times anyway

[unreal thorn]

My real answer is that it seems that part of his skin isn't touching the hat and also it's held firmly enough in place by the rest of his head that it just kind of slides along at that small section

[full fossil]

yea true true, just looks a bit unnatural lmao

[full fossil]

Is emulators illegal?

[dusky haven]

Emulation itself is legal

[full fossil]

Aight tyty

[storm lion]

hey guys

[storm lion]

emulators are not
but when you install in any way a system you did not have because you didnt buy the product that HAS that system, then you are downloading a pirated version
on top of that, running a game on such system is yet another illegal act

for the same reason - you didnt buy the game

[full fossil]

So basically if I’ve got the game but not consol emulation is legal

[storm lion]

but its also true that companies like adobe, allow simply reachable forums like on reddit to exist without suing them, that step by step describe how to not pay for any adobe product yet use them indefinitely
they are doing this bec
1 - if you are not using adobe products to make money, there is no real case to be brought to court... law basically says "if you are using an unlicensed software (pirated cracked etc), you can only be brought to court for the monetary gains you made with it"
2 - them letting ppl use their products freely is actually a very good move from their part - you hear about photoshop premiere pro after effects etc, you find the free pirated versions, and you start to use and learn them - that basically puts you into a position where after a certain time you get used to using adobe for your workflow whatever it is - so when, IF you become a professional in a field where you will also need such siftware, you obviously will choose their products, but at that point, you will have to buy/subscribe to it

[storm lion]

i wrote its double-illegal
1st because you didnt own the system
2nd bec you didnt own the game
you need both to be technically legally ok

[full fossil]

Ah ok

[storm lion]

but lets be real, i have only heard of razzias back in the day about "police knocking on your door because you downloaded the latest pop albums and made cds" 😄

[kindred coral]

That's actually really smart, never thought of it this way

[storm lion]

well the reddit segment for the adobe-pirate has been around for what... 8 years at least? 😄
and again, its reddit - adobe surely knows about it since min1

[kindred coral]

Well I never used adobe products so never digged into it 😄

But yeah, not knowing it would be weird

[storm lion]

but also again, when you start to work for a company, or make your own works with adobe stuff, you will be selling them in some form
if, even way later down the line, they could prove that x months/years ago you sold a lets say, ad video to a big company (for which you will make a receipt, pay taxes etc, so it is backtrackable and legal), but at that time you were using a pirated version, then they can sue for x amount of the monetary gains you had from that sell

[kindred coral]

Actually if I think of it, I'm good proof of what you're saying xD

I pirated Life is strange games for Android and hella loved the games... So I bought all on Xbox and PC

Because I just enjoy it and wanna support authors

[storm lion]

exactly the point of these big companies letting piracy to occur

[kindred coral]

Yeah and also companies can see if you worked on pirated or not... So they can say: "well you work on pirated thing... We don't want anything from you"

[storm lion]

but also they are paying for PR articles about "how piracy is bad", so that when you grow up and can actually pay if you want, for the games software etc, you will feel bad for pirating it --> creates cognitive dissonance, and you rather buy the product then feel ashamed

[storm lion]

im not sure if its recorded in eg metadata that you used a pirated version, but again
either adobe sues smaller/bigger vfx or movie production companies for getting huge monetary gains (from making the movies and selling tickets for it, box office profits, or being a youtuber and making sponsor money or ad revenue from it)
or
they dont really give a damn...

adobe is not going to sue anyone for 30 dollars you made off of yt videos over the course of a year 😄

[kindred coral]

Don't forget to get pirate ship too

they think i'm gonna use it for gaming

so they won't let me

they wont even let me get a vertical moniter

[misty scarab]

I dont put a passcode on my pc,,, I just open vim whenever I leave it

[red spindle]

tell them that's what the first monitor is for LMAO

or steal the living room TV and duct tape it to the wall above your first monitor

[safe merlin]

ok

ill try that

[red spindle]

noo I was joking if they are actually concerned about gaming it's probably best not to bring it up at all

😹

@safe merlin ^

[safe merlin]

kk

[manic torrent]

the point was it's in the shed, and runs air to my garage.

[manic torrent]

[safe merlin]

[manic torrent]

although my setup is completely different and none of the monitors in that picture are actually in my main desk setup now, but hey.

[whole lake]

Lmao the TechQuike TikTok is a flop and getting hate on as it should

[crimson granite]

Welp, my Chromebook wallpaper is that Linus face.

[crimson granite]

Look, they're trying, ok?

[brazen relic]

I love the CCTV screen to warn user if the feds are coming

gq seems an old model

[crimson granite]

It sounds good, the GB PSU

[heavy pier]

its widely known as a bomb

[crimson granite]

Oh. Oh, right

It's handy for secret terrorist attacks!

[heavy pier]

i got a picture of a p850gm as a c4 being planted in csgo kek

[crimson granite]

Time to make a GTA mod in the same vein as the Note 7 mod

[dire roost]

[crimson granite]

[violet wagon]

Its TikTok anything is hated on there

[full fossil]

Also Sweden has lose endorsements

[dire roost]

whaha

[dull granite]

why tho

[whole lake]

Because bytedance but also because they said they wouldn’t do TikTok in the past

It will probably be on Wan show tbh

[rain dust]

Sup

[full fossil]

time changes information and what people will do lmao

can't hate someone's decision which is the right thing to do whilst in the past said they wouldn't do it

[twin sage]

Do you guys think crypto will recover in 2023 or it's dead for good

[brisk wasp]

sup bros

[hardy marsh]

yo

[polar fern]

🤔

[kindred coral]

Hoping it's ded

[remote raft]

okay... just woke up since there's probably a bump truck of msgs since I last asked can someone suggest good tablet under 300 USD that would work well with aethersx2

[twin sage]

Last time it took BTC 2 years to recover and atm we just crossed 1 year of being down

So technically it's 2023 or never

[glass oracle]

I think most people see crypto as an investment instead of basic gambling

[remote raft]

this ^

also , can someone help with my tablet advice ?

[twin sage]

ATM it's neither, it's just a waste of money because it's either stable or going down

[tacit falcon]

So if my laptops caps lick flashes does that mean a failure?!?

[twin sage]

Tech support

[remote raft]

help ?

[tacit falcon]

I tried but HP have said its 6 months out of warranty

[twin sage]

No I mean tech support channel here is the correct channel to ask

[tacit falcon]

Cheers dude

[remote raft]

me now ?

please

[twin sage]

What is that thing you want to use?

App?

[glass oracle]

Also the price you want the tablet to be?

[twin sage]

There's no better option than the iPad at 300 USD

[remote raft]

uhhhh , this is on the google play store

[fossil dirge]

The iPad is a great tablet

[remote raft]

it's this btw https://www.aethersx2.com/

[remote raft]

I prefer samsung

[twin sage]

Then get the Samsung one 🤣@remote raft

[fossil dirge]

True Samsung is better

I have an iPhone but I think that Android is better

[remote raft]

well... i do not know a samsung that can use this under 250

[fossil dirge]

I'm technically invested in the Apple ecosystem

[remote raft]

why else would I ask

[fossil dirge]

Maybe when I have the money I would like to get a OnePlus as my secondary phone

[twin sage]

What are the requirements for this

[glass oracle]

If you are looking for a phone that is in the iPhone’s price point I think it’s a good pick

[fossil dirge]

Exactly

[glass oracle]

It’s not for everyone but it is good for the masses

[fossil dirge]

I use Windows, Linux, and macOS

I'm not a purist when it comes to platforms that I use

[twin sage]

@remote raft just download epcsx2 and get an iPad mate

[fossil dirge]

I use any platform

Whether it's PC, Mac, iPhone, and Android

Right now I have a PC and an iPhone

[glass oracle]

I think the low priced phones from Samsung are ass right now

[fossil dirge]

True

Samsung is good for the Galaxy S devices

[twin sage]

Not even that anymore, my next one will be a pixel

[fossil dirge]

True I think Pixel is a better phone

Maybe my next upgrade should be the Pixel

[glass oracle]

I’ve seen better phones in the low prices and high prices from Motorola and Xiaomi

[hollow dirge]

Does ChatGPT have a discord server? If so, could someone hook me up with a link?

[fossil dirge]

Motorola makes great phones

I miss Android

[twin sage]

What is that

[glass oracle]

And the A series might as well stand for Ass because I’ve had every bug possible

[hollow dirge]

OpenAI's new chatbot thingy

[twin sage]

Ooh I read about it

So what is this made for lonely people or what lol

[hollow dirge]

I mean sure

It has a lot of use cases

[fossil dirge]

I don't know if I should wait for my next upgrade on AT&T to get the Pixel or just get the OnePlus as a secondary phone

[twin sage]

Is it like an assistant?

[fossil dirge]

I have the AT&T Installment Plan and I have to wait 2 years for the next upgrade

[glass oracle]

OnePlus kinda fell off

[fossil dirge]

Oh really

What happened with OnePlus

[glass oracle]

They keep trying to merge with oppo

[fossil dirge]

Damn

[twin sage]

Lost its character

[glass oracle]

LTT also has a video on it

And Marques

[fossil dirge]

I think OnePlus lost their touch

[hollow dirge]

Well yeah, you can ask it questions or ask it do something like write a poem about something and it will do it

[fossil dirge]

Maybe I should wait for my upgrade on the AT&T Installment Plan

I should have went with Pixel

[glass oracle]

One UI looks horible imo

[fossil dirge]

I'm technically invested in the Apple ecosystem

I have the iPhone and iPad

[hollow dirge]

And it's surprisingly good aswell

[fossil dirge]

I have a MacBook Pro but I gave it to my dad

I want to get the MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro processor but I decided to not get it because my dad told me that I'm not going to use it that often

[cursive hamlet]

Any designers wanna help me design my gaming room?

[fossil dirge]

Instead I'm going to use my money to get the Steam Deck

[glass oracle]

I have an iPhone and AirPods. I got them recently being a lifelong android user till Samsung started making one ui feel lifeless

[fossil dirge]

Nice

[glass oracle]

Steam deck sounds nice

[fossil dirge]

Yeah the Steam Deck is a great handheld

[glass oracle]

But I would advise getting the one with faster storage

I have the 2017 switch

[fossil dirge]

Yes I'm going to get the one with the fastest storage

[glass oracle]

The one without the improved battery

[fossil dirge]

I want to get the 512GB model which has the fastest SSD

I have the Nintendo Switch with the improved battery

I use my Nintendo Switch for Nintendo exclusive games like Metroid and Splatoon

[glass oracle]

The 256 is still an nvme ssd so I believe it’s the same speed but the size differs

[humble gyro]

just get the cheapest version and upgrade it

[fossil dirge]

I want to get the Steam Deck so I can play third party games on the go

[glass oracle]

I love splatoon but I got my switch when they didn’t announce that multiplayer would be a subscription so it’s dead weight

[fossil dirge]

Yeah you have to pay Nintendo Switch Online in order to play Splatoon

[glass oracle]

And for a few months I got to play the game before NSO launched and after that I stopped playing the game

And bought a PS4 and then built a PC

[fossil dirge]

Having a PC is better

Since you can play online games for free

[glass oracle]

And yuzu is cool

[fossil dirge]

Exactly

[glass oracle]

Pc gives you choices

[fossil dirge]

That's what I really love about PC gaming you have a lot of choices

You can play games on Steam, use emulators, and play any type of games

[polar fern]

“Having a pc is better”

How about a qualifier?

[fossil dirge]

Exactly

[polar fern]

Exactly what?

[fossil dirge]

That PC is better

I love PC gaming

[tired olive]

POLITICALLY CORRECT gaming

[polar fern]

Ok I quoted, not agreed

[fossil dirge]

Oh my bad

[polar fern]

And suggested to add a qualifier for context

[fossil dirge]

What do you mean by qualifier

[polar fern]

See the second part. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/qualifier

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

But I think that PC gaming is better

[polar fern]

“I think” is a qualifier

[fossil dirge]

You have a point

[polar fern]

Than what? Why? What drew you to this conclusion? 😉

[fossil dirge]

Well it's because that I think that PC gaming is better

[polar fern]

We have become so used to using so few words

[fossil dirge]

True

[polar fern]

I feel that having multiple platforms for gaming is beneficial as it allows both a varied player experience, and can address things like space limitations or portability.

I play on iPhone, Apple TV, and a desktop pc/mac
