It's a joke corewyyn
Go read up on IPFS if you’re really interested. I think it’s neat, though a bit tricky to use in practice.
in torrent
we use a magnet file which locates the files within the network and downloads it to your pc
then your pc becomes a host for the file or a seeder
it's like exactly like torrent
true chads just download the file and dont seed
leecher
(i am extremely selfish)
Anyone know any tricks to make chatgpt chunk it's response so you can get larger answers out of it?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System the design section specifically addresses the torrent topic.
torrent but more bigger
Gn people’s
I know. But i meant what could be the reason why they won‘t let us know
how much i love cloud pcs
at my work place total latency (network decode encode) is only like 45ms and it's very playable
you now owe navy $5
I'm feeling generous tonight

is it possible to use a iGPU for streaming and a dGPU for gaming on OBS?
Yes
damn
I use QSV for encoding
$5
no
Needs more beard
lmao
thats still slower than gpu though right?
quicksync is still part of the cpu
unless intel IGP
one reason intel IGP is OP
Quickbits!
i mean... QuickSync!
shit saints row is free
QSV is quicksync right?
Yes
its still balls to the walls slow for me
QuickSync Video
i have quicksync too
12th gen?
It's fine for me
encode in x264 is significantly slower than on my 3070
1440p120
i get like 8fps on handbrake
x264 is CPU so yeah
Yeah try with qsv
is that not automatically enabled for intel CPUs?
is that something i enable in bios or in handbrake
i dont see it

🤔
20 wpm is sad
On that keyboard?
That’s the one in reference
i just got a pc and im looking for some games to play on it. (my bday was yesterday so I have a bunch of money) can someone tell me some good multi player games?

Kerbal space program

gtav just for the singleplayer is not worth it
Not good on pc full of modders unless you play in a solo session

online is not fun dont play it
not even the servers?
Fivem is alright I guess
no
whats fivem?
Titan fall 2 for the campaign
It'll be a lot sooner than that. Wouldn't even be an NDA concern if I had thought about public availability of parts before ordering those for the shoot lol
Those are parts are not quite available for sale yet is all.
fivem is rp only
oh yea i played on ps4 3 years ago
No it's not ?
Dam
titanfall 2 with northstar mod is good
whats fivem?
mods
Modded GTA v client mostly for rp servers but there's like other styles of games in it but not as common
I appreciated that it is free but most RP servers on GTA 5 are most likely to melt your ass brain
its free
That's why gmod rp is number 1
what
on what pc?
yes wz and dmz is free
MW2 is free?
yea wz
Warzone is free
lies, Gaijin will never sell their ass brain games excuse battle royale
That screenshot bugged out

destiny 2
£60 for a game yeah no thanks
destiny 2 is also free
i played destiny 2 so much
my power was like 1020
which at the time was really good
destiny 2 I never played
its really good
Among us vr looks like it would be fun for an hour or two
I wanted to scream at the kids so badly
and votekick couples and ruin then for fun
game still gets updated
It really is the ultimate headache inducing thing
and it has a really good playerbase'
Dizziness from vr and people screaming in your ear
Destiny 2 na download Gmod 2
lel
I am going to spend my money on drones
Everyone should get satisfactory
s&box was garbage last time i checked
Is it getting good yet
Heard u can finally make maps with code in it via entities being included into maps now. I might do something with that
the game?
my friend was just pitching idea that i should maybe get it
only problem is that i havent got my new PC yet
satisfactory is pretty fun
Whether u just like building or u sit with pencil+paper for hours thinking about optimal solutions, fun for all
Yo Samsung got a battle pass now
Got that 49 by 1 aspect ratio
ive determined my ethernet port as dead. my pc was sitting on a rug for the past five days (off) and when i plug it in, ethernet doesnt work. trierd updating bios, checking that LAN was on, updating drivers, etc. how could this have happened?
try with another pc?
it works
then yeah maybe
I've never had an ethernet die for me, but my friend has and I had to put a pcie card instead for him. What was it plugged into on the other end?
My 10g port on my board died, RIP
oof, have any open pcie slots?
also, you sure its the port on your board and not the other side or cable?
Yeah, I have a 10g ethernet card from my server, and it works
so I have to get another card to have 10g to my server
But yeah, I have an addin card now
a router
just a pcie card looks pretty ugly. i got one already but ya know ☹️
does anyone know where to find online apprenticeship jobs
Yoooo when do we get rx 7900 xtx benchmark ?
Every time you ask they push the date back a day
2nd time I ask ever
So two days
do people just like apply to multiple colleges
like what if you get more than 1 accept you
and you just ghost the others because one of them is best
thats exactly what you do.. yes
like, fr?
yeah
on dual monitors set up, is there a way to make it that, when i open an app on monitor 1, it opens on monitor 1
and if i open it on monitor 2
it opens on monitor 2?
pretty sure if you drag it over the preferred monitor next time it will open on that side
thats the thing
i wanna open those windows temporarily on said monitors without having to change my preferred set up 😄
ever just use the shortcut to move the window to another monitor
its win+shift+arrow keys
noope, almost all apps dont remember, some limited few, do remember
thats weird because almost all my apps do
even one thats never been updated since 2016 thats still compatible with xp
no, and it really pisses me off that this isnt a thing, if i launch an app from the taskbar on monitor 2 or 3, i want it to open on on fucking 2 or 3, thats why i clicked it there...
would be a nice qol actually
👋
rDNA 3 reviews are in 3:30 hours
my pc keeps restarting with no errros
any idea how to check what's wrong?
r7 3700x @ 4.2ghz
rtx 3060ti
2x16 ddr4 3600mhz cl18
Goodmorning everyone
download stress tests and see which part causes the restart, although it's likely the power supply
This was my problem w my last pc. Shitty power supply w barely enough wattage
We got the same build lol
no, the magic adventure movie
I got a decent one, 750w
gold
msi
forgot the model tho
Returnal is coming to pc. But the port is actually dogshit
Minimum ram is 16gb and 32gb recommended
ok get OCCT and test your components
Mornin'.
what card is the asus
It says it in the picture and in my text....
Gonna sell it now or?
what 3080 ya got?
I'll take that then. Thank you sir
already sold, 3080ti and waterblock arriving soon
Oh nice lmao
Galax SG one click
cool and good
because it's a reference design, so I can use a waterblock
already sold for $500 AUD
That's a steal. They are 7-800€ new
I got my 3080 ti for $700 AUD 😄
No one was mining here. No cheap cards around when the energy prices are to high
The dude had 40 of them
Correction 6-700€... Still too much
Looking a bit empty!
where she go
pc build tools: screwdriver, pliers, a knife and a car key
and tweezers
Does anyone know if the port in the middle of the wired XBOX controller cable has a name?
30 minutes to go
e
pretty sure that was a proprietary one
OKay, just wondered what the connector was called
maybe it is jujst called a breakaway connector
oh that its literally called a breakaway connector
i never remembered rhe xbox 360 having a DIN connection....
I think the original xbox had them too
yeah i just check that was the connection for the console, not actually for the controller
yeah its a breakway mini DIN i thunk
and i actually have the original xbox 360 here next to me
although its dead and super busted up
t minus 8min for nda to drop
can obs output h265 with nvenc?
it could but nvenc is a fancier way of saying h.264

Hey looking to get a smart light bulb for a lamp. Are the Phillips hues any good?
is 35c fine for a pc
Phillips is a decent company
hello
I don’t really need the full RGB range just normal warm light but I do need the ability for it to be “smart” as in wireless with some sort of wifi switch
Philips Hue are the "best" smart bulbs
in the same way that a basic rash is the best VD
they are all stupid and shouldnt exist... but it doesnt mean that one is less shit than the rest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UFiG7CwpHk - Hardware Unboxed
Yeah I wouldn’t mess with it but this lamp in question is one of the those pull chain types and I’m looking for a good way to turn it off and on. And since it has charging ports my only option is something with the bulb
Is g502 good?
g502 hero is the best selling mouse, everywhere... for a reason
in my opinion its overrated af and not comfortable
then you have tiny hands...
But I agree for most use cases “smart bulbs” are kinda dumb
i just bought it for 48$
g502 is perfect though i would like it even more with less weight
people who complain about the weight of the mouse, need to take a good look at themselves. i use my computer for work for about 8 hours a day, and gaming for another 2-3 hours after that... the mouse has never once struck me as heavy, or hard to use, or too big, or in any way needs to have less weight
I really like my Dark core mouse got wireless charging so I never have to worry about battery life just need to remember to put it on a charger when I’m done
People are always going to want different specs doesn’t mean they are wrong just different
i think you should rethink your choices when typing those words whether or not if that was needed when you couldve answered with one word: preference
… unless they want a mouse so light that it literally floats off like a ballon… that IS objectively a bad idea
weight and inertia are something that can be measured, objectively, rather than "felt" subjectively... you can scientifically prove that its in their head, because the change in inertia between a 120g mouse and a 80g mouse is less than anybody could ever actually feel
as for the shape... fine, preference... the sensor and how you prefer the switches.. fine.. preference... but the weight, is objectively measurable and scientifically provable
so yes, i did choose my words very carefully when i specifically mentioned weight
my friend ruined his gloros model o by cutting off the bottom, cutting off weight from an already weightless mouse, what a dumbass
Lol
When the hack is actual hacking material off
Yeah I’m nervous is enough taking my mouse apart when I clean it (still managed to break a little plastic tap I think) so actual going in to try and DYI lighten it?😬 managed
i found the picture, actual gore
Need to finish my morning coffee before I see anything that horrid
Can belevie I’m really considering one of these damn smart bulbs
Do they make ones that are like dongles so you can use any light bulb?
Like: lamp socket > wifi controller > normal bulb
yes
you should be able to get it built into the switch nowadays also
Yeah this is an upgrade for an existing lamp
Just trying to find a good work around for a faulty pull chain toggle
replace the switch tbh it be cheaper
Proably
My DIY electronics skill tree is pretty low though so I kind of want to go this rout
Will look into it though
Logitech makes great gaming peripherals
I have the Logitech G935 gaming headset for my Legion gaming laptop and it's amazing
I also like this idea of a wifi switch (as in toggle for lights not network switch)
Heard good thing about legion laptops recent
Yeah Lenovo makes great laptops I love my Legion
Funny, my last Lenovo was a thinkpad for school and I hated it but proably becuase it was a “required” laptop brand deal
ThinkPads are great laptops as well
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a good laptop from what I've heard
Anyways, Whiz about razer I haven’t used them but my brother in law dose and he likes it enough. Sort of got that Apple effect of being nice but a bit over priced
thinkpads are alright but if you want to game, legion 5's are one of the best for it
Yeah Razer has some great peripherals
Exactly the Legion is the best thing to game on
Yeah my guess is since it was required I was predisposed to hating it
eh, not really
Well most schools have ThinkPads
True and most of my “hate” was making it do things it wasn’t ment to do
Like game 😛
Ye
If you want to game get the Legion
Nice
Something is wrong with F1 22 benchmark. I feel bad for LTT team
TUF 15 from Asus
No other reviewer showed results like that
The Legion is my first gaming laptop that I've ever owned
ASUS makes great laptops as well
codemaster with crap code
you can't really either on an ideapad as well
True
Yeah I’ve heard enough good stuff from Lenovo that I’m willing to give them a second chance whenever I’m in the market again
Go for it
not as good as the rog strix line
You should get the Legion it's a great gaming laptop
it's mainly about the full powered gpu in the legion 5 line
rather than it being power restricted which you'll see in alot of laptops
finallyyyy no more problems with waifu diffusion AI running it locally
i spent well over a day
Phone autocorrect is having a fun time today
👍
I think Lenovo and Apple makes great laptops
I want to get the MacBook Pro with the M1 chip
@turbid falcon who was the server weeb
But I'll wait till next year
I don't need one at the moment
I'm happy with my Legion
I feel like the next computer I get though is probably gonna be a steam deck
can't go wrong with lenovo
Poggers
I already ordered it
I love Lenovo they make great laptops
yes
Mac for computer and deck for gaming is an interesting concept tho
how
It is
Having a Mac for computer and the Steam Deck for gaming is an interesting concept
select it in the settings output tab
...how old is it
26
oh
I could see myself doing that, or going down the laptop that’s not really portable route like one of the desktop replacements from origin
It all depends though on how I use the deck
You can use the Steam Deck to play games you have on your Steam library
Hoping to have enough saved up that I can order mine after the holidays
Most of my games are compatible for the Steam Deck
The Steam Deck is my Christmas present
I ordered my Steam Deck last Friday
Now I got to wait for it to arrive
good
I’m impressed that we can just order them now without waitlisting
Yeah that's the best thing
You can now order the Steam Deck without making a reservation
Since the Steam Deck is in stock
I can't wait for my Steam Deck to arrive
only if you're not new to those buttons like switch
Sorry, I do feel like I do make a lot post on here about how much I want a deck
I think my Switch be getting jealous
I don't even have a console or somethin'
yeah😂
yep
it's best for local
can't deny that (rep to The one thing switch has going for it is that it quite
[2:47 PM]
And good battery life)
(Compared to the deck)
how much does it costs now?
I know I was surprised how much it didn’t actual suck
I don't want to get the Logitech G Cloud
but it's kinda ass in everything other
You have to connect to the internet in order to play online
it's not bad but it might have some deal breaker flaws for some people
I agree with Linus if it could properly play phone games local I would strongly consider it
it's basically a phone with a controller and a big screen
You can play the Steam Deck locally
You don't need to connect to the internet to play games on the Steam Deck
but also steam deck might get loud
but one thing, the deck runs a Linux!
Yes the Steam Deck is based on Linux
every pc might run a linux
Yeah sorry, should have added if it was like half the price of the deck
ye
It's fine
every pc "Can"
Feel bad for a Logitech a bit honestly how were they to know about the steam deck when they were making the g cloud lol
The Steam Deck is only $399 for the base model
Yeah no brainer
base model is kinda wack tho
399 thats not too much
only 64 GB of space
you can't get a ok pc in that
The Steam Deck runs SteamOS 3.0 which is based on Linux and it's a uses Arch Linux
I take my words back
It uses Proton to play Windows games on the Deck
Yeah but SSDs and mico Sds
512gb one is the MVP
yeah
i finally got a graphics card after 1 year is there anything i should know before installing it
Feels bad for mid spec 256 model 😛
it's fine
I ordered the 512GB model so I can store more games
64GB one is indie or minecraft machine
install the gpu drivers
I do think I might get the mid spec one
not rn
I'm planning on getting a 1TB MicroSD card so I can download all the games on the Steam Deck
and don't mess up
before or after
I would really rather not have to take my deck apart
I'll ordered the MicroSD card on Amazon
you gotta uninstall your graphic drivers
AfTer
what?
use a DDU and follow steps
oh ok thanks
You don't have to take your Steam Deck apart
Just get the 512GB model and a MicroSD card so you can store your games on it
isn't geforce able to fix my graphics drivers or not idk?
Sorry thread got crowed what was saying is I want to get 265 model over the 64 because I feel like I would want to upgrade the storage right away
you have to update/install the drivers from geforce experiance
oh ok thanks
Like, I heard that shader cache (witch has to be on the SSD not the cards) can be pretty taxing for the lil guy
Yes, I did call the 64 spec “lil guy”
You can always get a MicroSD card and store your games on it on your Steam Deck
That's what I'm going to do for my Steam Deck
the squid made of platinum
Smart
Yup
Shader precache must be stored on deck however
So 64gb can still be a little awkward even with microsd
dont cheap out on the microsd though, get a proper one from sandisk or samsung... high speed high endurance one
can somone recommend a good psu for the rx7900 xtx?
Play station unit?
Buy xbox s it is best
Wait sorry u meant power supply unit
@simple oracle any thermaltake toughpower gf1 at above 850w will work great
any hot take?
fuck nvidia
:nodders:

I'm looking for a free moment to film me selling my nvidia stock, put it on a microSD card, shovew it in the middle of a dead rotting cow, sending it to jensen, and telling him Merry Fucking Xmas, make a new jacket you c*nt
I’m serious & maybe I should ask on the forum - when is LMG going to migrate to their own mastodon instance & stop using twitter?
🤷♂️
I want to see numbers but the 7990 xtx might be toe to toe with 4090
My computer cost less than these crazy assed cards & I get by fine
the 7900xtx could beat the 4090
with aib cards that have extra power connectors I bet the xtx can beat the 4090
But also draw the same power
the xtx should scale linearly with power to like 3ghz
and cost less
also no 16pin connector
Nice? The platform is owned by a racist terf
If you stay you’re complicit. Simple as that.
huh?
I came on just to ask Jake not to let Riley fart on my screwdriver I ordered as a Xmas present to myself...sorry for the off-topic...let's talk about fricking up nvidia
and if I buy nvidia I'm complacent cuz I'm letting nvidia fuck me in the ass with prices
Don’t forget the thermal paste 😉
I'm buying amd. I don't care what the ceo or whatever does, if the product is good, I'm buying it.
What?
Ethics matters.
nvidia keeps fucking us with the prices
I have none
the product matters more
We should not call it thermal paste here, since we are bound to have someone named Tim, we should call it TIM, just to confuse Tim,k?
You didn’t know that Elon is a fringe right winger?
unless some 5 year old chinese kid is building it
Ok?
since when does elon own amd
I’m taking about twitter…
Oh
we aren't talking about twitter
What a dissapointment.
AMD ain't cheap either
Like just delete your account
we're talking about amd and nvidia
nvidia & amd both reuniting togetheer
We missed this
nope
nvidia is actively cutting prices to compete
now we just wait for intel.
Think of these as titan cards
arc is shit (for now)
There not going to be good for atleast 3 generations
yes it is
wait for drivers to mature and second gen cards
💀
My computer
cool
I just want to get this straight, we are pissed with Nvidia for their msrp price gouging, followed by their induced scarcitry and complicacy with scalpers, and them giving no shiz about us?
I'm sorry that was the same with amd and ati
and nvidia has such a huge mindshare that they can fuck us with the prices and the fanboys will take it and say thank you
I should take a new setup photo with the screwdriver on the desk
like that guy who literally said he'd sacrifice performance AND pay more money just to use an nvidia card
drivers aren't even an issue anymore
did it come with bits?
Of course
the only reason not to go amd is if you need cuda cores and the compatibility that nvidia brings in blender and such
I’m planning to buy all of the additional bit sets
like a blockhead, I saw the $7 extra bits and ordered, guess I didn't need to
What happend to the ltt minecraft server
Dunno
shutdown
Mabye
nope
idk about the server, but the D is deadish...Might be busier in 2 weeks
they switch to third party server hosting
I mean hardware wise
the server in the videos was only used for testing
Awww
ltt minecraft server videos
Oh no idea
they only used that server for the videos
So its just 100% dead randomly
they quickly switched to third party server hosting
Sooo
Ok I’m not as stupid as I probably come across
no idea what happened to the ltt minecraft server
Oke
I played on there for a long time. I was waiting to do a livestream & it’s been offline
It’s not wasted unless you wanted to do something else

That’s rough buddy
so she literally thought you would date her?
She’s asked me out before
did you liked her anyways?
no
oh
she's a homie hopper
she asked me out and a week later she was dating one of my best friends
just an attention seeker
but you just said no to her, that's why she is dating one of your best friend
oh well, I guess that's a good decision
Ignore the mess. My area of the house here is approximately 1/3 one room
I'm so glad half my generation still had dumb phones when I was in high school
I really lucked out
I would not have done well in the hyper social media world we have now
In my high school devices were not allowed.
And only a few people had pagers & cell phones anyways
That’s what the two keyboards are for
?
Using windows and macos
Yeah
Some teachers had a no electronics policy
Others simply said "it's not my concern if you pay attention or not in class, but you will be tested on this"
yup
Mac mini just chillin
let the losers fail
You have the same Mac mini I do
Nice. I’m planning the 16 gig ram upgrade
It's easier than spending half the lectures telling kids to put their phones away
Unfortunately that was the reality with public school
This one was upgraded to 32
Nah. Ours would just issue 5 pm detention. Stay at school till 5 pm. Some of the kids had after school work and they couldn’t do that, so they learned pretty quickly.
Nice
Self selection classes, like honors/AP, didn't really have this issues cause students in those gave a fuck. But general classes, like intro to Spanish, were full of troublemakers who ruined it for those who actually wanted to learn
It's why I always did honors/AP if it was an option
But then when I took french 1, the teacher spent more time telling kids to be quiet than teaching. I just ended up doing my calc homework during french.
It’s looking like I’m going to have to upgrade to a brand new Lenovo sff
The board & APU are just a tad old 😫
Plus I can get the 80+ platinum psu and a 6/12 core/thread APU OR a 8/16 CPU & a half decent low profile graphics card
Let me check the config page on their shop site
I’ll put you on hold while I look https://youtu.be/N7xn5zeJ4D4

It’s weird to me that folks are not just wholesale leaving twitter for good. Feels like that whole “stood by & did nothing” as hate was normalised.
Really grotesque to be honest
At first I was determined to stay, but it just kept going downhill, so I deleted my account.
Feels like breathing clean mountain air after being in a 3 week long dust storm
Staying on twitter at this point = complicit.
🤷♂️
I don't really have a reason to leave it yet
But I'm also just a lurker
I'm on Twitter to observe the chaos at the moment
I guess
I joined Twitter a year ago and I've been thoroughly enjoying it
But my Twitter is 99.9999% phone leakers and techtubers
I've never once had Twitter recommend me "bad content"
It does recommend me android vs iOS flame wars tho
Should I change my AKG K371 for a pair of Sennheiser HD 599?
What is deleting a Twitter account supposed to accomplish
Did people mass delete their reddit accounts before r/T_D was banned?
If you don't seek out cancer on Reddit, it's rather hard to come across
Maybe if you browse r/all a lot you will
But r/popular is generally pretty safe, and your subreddit feed is self selective
should buy something higher than 850w?
Staples wants 95 dollars for a 8 port network switch? What the hell?
I've come across this as well
Damn shame
Cloud management and all
The tax for "needing it now" instead of waiting for Amazon delivery
Also you're buying from their business line
Of course they're gonna be expensive
its hard not coming across politics in social media since its literally what social media is built for
maybe the cats just overwhelm the politics in my feeds
i think cats should run for the office

Fair tbh
Ah politics
Yeah nah, politics is cringe
Anyone seen the rock5 model b?
Seems a good pi alternative

MY DBRAND ORDER FINALLY CAME IN
as much as I want to go about modding my PS5, I can't because I want to clean it thoroughly first and my compressed air cans are all depleted so I'll hold onto that until I get some new air cans
and honestly, I'm a tad too tired/lazy rn to do the rubik's cube too lol
I'll unpack it to check it out tho
Oh.. guess I'm not included but enjoy your order I guess
Can anyone here with perms post a link so it has a embed?
No
Figured out why it’s that price
Just a heads up: anyone posting links to twitter gonna be blocked.
Why
Just a heads up; I don't think anyone cares that much.
Based possum
For real
Alright I'll go with SanDisk for the MicroSD card

twitter is still terrible but now instead of one giant echo chamber it's 2 different echo chambers
i guess it's something 
tbh it's still just one depending on where you go
I don't see half the shit people complain about because I don't look for it 😂
tbh, ive seen all the neutral and left stuff just disappear completely, and be replaced with peirs morgan and nigel farage... so... fuck twitter
Almost as if the people that spend more time talking about things they hate to see get to see more of what they engage with and dislike
go to whatever elon tweets and look at the replies, the left stuff is immediately back in the spotlight
piers morgan and nigel farage are absolutely terrible people, i dont follow them, nobody i know follows them, nobody i follow, follows them... yet they are always the first thing on my twitter feed
it's just gigantic echo chamber upon echo chamber
Weird, I've not had any of them I tend to follow centre/left UK stuff
i was also under the impression that piers was quite a good journalist
I'm quite happy for anyone to do as they please as long as it doesn't infringe on the basic human rights of another
i saw he interviewed ronaldo 
hes not a journalist at all... he just happens to get paid to do the same thing that journalists do
the media and news industries have shifted from journalism to entertainment
He might've been considered one in his early career but he was very much of the sensationalist, loaded message type swill.
hes a lying thieving racist sexist scumbag and should be in jail
people like piers are bound to appear
Honestly, when people say journalism is dead I do think it's true to a point at this stage
did piers not openly clash with the likes of ben shapiro and andrew tate over these topics
clear your cache?
🤔
I fixed it, either I added my news feed to the block elements section of the adblocker addon I use or it was just being funny
it kind of is
at least written journalism
never in my life have I ever felt so disenfranchised from nearly every news source
division makes 💰
I can't think of one that I'd actively choose to read or listen to now, maybe reuters but only for INTL stuff
financially its difficult; and depending what kind of journalist you are, it can be very dangerous
hes also openly racist, and says openly racist things, hes also openly sexist, and uses his wife as a trophy to show off how well hes doing, hes lied to the police about several things when he worked at news of the world... hes a hypocrite and says whatever it needs to get him his own way and make him popular... he should be in jail
interesting
I wish for a purely unbiased and direct report of events
I do not wish for left, right, up, down spins and painted pictures
never going to happen
Thinking for yourself has been long dead for a lot of people 
people want to be told what to think, because thinking for yourself is hard work
I hate hearing some of the stuff my parents or family choose to read / believe without fact checking
such poopoo
if you think for yourself, you are the one who is to blame for your own stupid decisions
true
True, people like to say "well X person said this" and figure that they're no longer accountable for holding an opinion
well, I say holding it's probably more like renting
I've stopped following world politics and listen to more philosophy content creators now
that and the occasional LTT vid
at least 5 people here will recognise that URL
Linus tech tips said himself in this vid

god damnit
news isnt even "news
news in the western world is only abt the western world
news is just propaganda now, it makes you think a certain way
"save ukraine!!?!?!?! help them!!!?!?!" why havent you been saying this abt palestine and more countries for the past 70 years?
because ukraine is closer... and... we have... its just gone on for a long time now
no their the same distance
no they're not
so have you gone to kyiv and jerusalem from london?
never knew bro we have so much in common
yeah its miniscule, only around 500000 km
it's a 5-6 hour flight
idk google maps is wierd
took 4 hours to kyiv for me and 4 hours 45 to jerusalem
and how tf does distance matter anyways
why do we care abt us so much
that's the human condition
idk abt kyiv but i assure you palestine is closer than us
no USA
ukraine is next door to poland, poland is an EU member state... ukraine want to be an EU member state... and lets measure.... 1300 miles from manchester to lviv, (closest city) or just short of 3000 miles from manchester to jerusalem (also closest main city)
if it isn't close and not similar people or ethnicities
im not 100% certain... but... i think when we look at it... .1300 is much smaller than 3000
people don't care
idk bro i just remember my flights
bossmantech is having a fucking moment lol
but how is distance relevant
how tf
because things that are far away don't matter
both palestine and ukraine contain a strong christian orthodox population
okay cool, but one is closer to home than the other and is supported by my government
palestine is not
ukraine is next door to europe, isreal is more than a continent away, and is essentially on the continental boarder of arabia and africa
next door? it's in europe
how tf does what ur government thinks matters
are you fr just a sheep?
even contentious topics like this is debatable since not everyone agrees
because me as an individual isn't going to go save the palestinians
ukraine matters more to europe, because ukraine is a doorway to poland and the rest of europe
ukraine russia, taiwan china, palestine israel, the list goes on
isreal isnt a doorway to anywhere
there will never be full unity so the news has to pick a side
THAT is why people care about ukraine
also then why do we care abt wildfires in australia in the uk
oftentimes the side they pick matches their narrative
Plus, do you really think western states that put israel where they did
israel is a doorway to the us stealing oil from every arab league country
really give a shit about palestine
we dont? its on the news sometimes when its a slow news day, but other than that... generally dont care
true ig
Australia is part of the empire
if they cared about palestine or taiwan they would be recognized as independent states
yes actually. have you seen the irish government?
it's all for show
that's why we get it on the news, they're similar ethnic cultures and english speaking.
so why tf are you arguing for israel
I'm not arguing for israel
I'm talking to someone who hasn't looked at a map and thinks ukraine and israel are the same distance apart
we arent, its you who brought it up, we are saying the isreal thing and the ukraine thing are completely different
which to be quite honest 
because not everyone has the same view on israel?
and this too
also before we continue are politics allowed
no
no
bit late to ask
what a lemon
ye i agree same
did u know rocks are made of rocks?
oh i cant send images
i wanna show what rocks are made of
i dont see the rule where it says no politics, thats my self defense lol
did you know europe is the size of europe?
ive never been shown the rule that said dont murder people.... not a prime defence though
fair
Does anybody here use a VPN?
2 different ones, yes
Yeah sometimes, why?
Nice
Because I would like to talk about VPNs on the Crunchyroll Discord server but I can't because in the rules they say that VPN is not allowed because it violates TOS
Why would you want to talk about VPNs there of all places
I shouldn't
what's there to talk about with regards to VPNs anyway, you either choose
Exactly
a. country with the media you want
b. outside of international surveillance rings
No I would get in trouble if I take the key caps at Best Buy
I think I would make a VPN server on Linux
I'm going to build a new PC with Windows 11
why would you ruin a new PC 
What?
c. self host, because there is no real reason to use one of these paid for VPNs. if you wanna remote into your own network, self host.. if you wanna VPN into work, work will have a VPN, all other uses of VPNs are stupid. unless you live in somewhere like china or russia right now
What's the problem with Windows 11
Do people here hate Microsoft because of Satya Nadella
also true, I forget about self-hosting sometimes
who that 
what?
He's the CEO of Microsoft
why would you assume anyone hates windows because of the CEO
that's a silly reason to hate them
I don't even know
no, people hate microsoft because they think its cool to hate microsoft, but that sort of attitude died in the mid 2000s, but some people cant let go of that era of thinking and refuse to move on
Exactly
people also hate microsoft because people are sheep and cant think for themselves, and dont like them because they were told to not like them
I want to find the meme I recall where beginners start off on microsoft, go through different parts of linux and eventually settle back in to microsoft
But is Windows 11 a bad OS
no
Idk if you like it use it
win11 sucked anus for AMD Ryzen CPUs early on... but that was fixed within a few weeks, and now its fine
I have Windows 11 on my Lenovo Legion and I love it
lame, i use windows 98. 98 > 11
i get better performance out of win11 than i get out of win10
i think somebody is smoking outside my window 🍃
Yeah Windows 11 has great performance
You're crazy
I think that's a joke
I think so LOL 😆
people should use the best tool for the job
fanboying about a piece of hardware or a piece of software is just stupid
your computer is a tool, use it in the way that suits you best, and leave everyone else to do the same
Exactly
Using a PC is a tool nowadays
It's to get the work done
Swapnil Bhartiya from TFIR said that a PC is a tool and I agree with him
I rather use Intel processors since they work better on Windows
Also I use my PC as a tool and then do something else
what the fuck
Where did you hear that
Well a lot of people prefer Intel
When I talk about building a PC on the Crunchyroll Discord server they said to go with Intel
that doesnt make intel better
and?
I might go with AMD
It isn’t cheaper this generation
And AMD has better performance
Not this generation
tho you can argue better price-to-performance within the 13th gen than with amd rn
they are about the same this generation, depending on the workload
Oh I see
but like, anywhere the price on amd drops a little and it's really about even
13600k at 300$ outperforms the 7600x by a good margin and the 7700x by a decent margin
I might go with Intel
Intel is better value right now
under very particular workloads, but not all... you could reverse that and it would be just as true
I would also like to go with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
I'm not getting the RTX 40 series because it's expensive
I just like AMDs aesthetic
Nice
Intel blue is poo
Get a 6700xt
Intel blue?
my favourite processor is still AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
that thing was like a 3-bar fire B)
the colour of intels logos and stuff
is predominantly blue
Yes
mine is still the FX-8150, because GCC claimed that their compiler wasnt broken for bulldozer, for 4 years... 3 of which, i had an AMD Bulldozer FX-8150... and i dont know how many times i reported that bug and they told me i was wrong, it wasnt a bug in GCC, it was my system that was broken... yet... a patch went in for it a few years later, because 100s of people reported it
Pear, our all knowing god, is here
I'm glad you remember
Which is actually what I plan for my upgrade kek
I am however taking an early night so y'all can have fun whilst I'm gone
Already have a 13600k, planning on a 7900xtx :p
I will wallow in my sorrows knowing you aren’t going to grace us with your presence
I need to get a job again, my adult university holiday doesn't leave me with much money to spend on fun stuff
Should I go with Intel or AMD?
whichever you want, its up to you and it makes no difference
I mean, it really doesn't matter in most use cases
My PC is overdue an upgrade
Huh
this conversation is giving me brain cancer... im going to go do something productive now
You gave me brain cancer earlier
LOL 😆
I need to decide what I want to go to next
Alright
I've got a 3060 Ti recently so the graphics card isn't changing for a year or two since I'm a 1080 144hz gamer
but the wam is 16GB DDR4 3000 MHz
and the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Processor
doesn't feel like I've had it 3 years 
Oh I see
"find out how much your Chromebook is worth"
Sorry Google ad, but they aren't worth anything
Just go to Google and download some extra ram, storage and you can even download a gpu!
