[graceful burrow]

But you can't cause amd

[neon mesa]

I asked chatgpt and it said i can use a mask file on top of base image

[graceful burrow]

True

[neon mesa]

But that's pain

All hail chatgpt tho

My SD wouldn't work without it

Real goat

[finite cloud]

Fiona did you draw your own pfp and banner?

[neon mesa]

My pfp and banner yes

AI can't make this shit

[finite cloud]

nice

[finite cloud]

that gives me an idea

oh...thats...actually not bad

[finite cloud]

doesnt look like your profile but it did something

[neon mesa]

Stuff of nightmare

[vapid smelt]

i dont see anything

[graceful burrow]

Epic embed fail

[finite cloud]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1014949440030777435/1052764881897652274/00336-3780424107-masterpiece_best_quality_1girl_eye_focus_katsuragi_misato_ribbed_sweater_purple_hair_brown_eyes.png

never mind i regret embedding it

[graceful burrow]

That's why I didn't say link fail I said embed fail

[vapid smelt]

Too risky

[finite cloud]

i can do you one better

[neon mesa]

Midjourney kinda L on this one ngl

Waifu diffusion ftw

[vapid smelt]

[neon mesa]

And don't forget them negative prompts

Or else you get nightmare

SD is the best form of AI image generation rn

Open source, can be ran locally, and no restrictions

[finite cloud]

why does it do people so good

[neon mesa]

Training model

Standard stable diffusion also kinda sucked at anime

[full fossil]

it doesnt do people good

that isnt really a person

[full fossil]

big brain anime girl

dont get me wrong it looks NICE

[finite cloud]

neither does this person

[west sentinel]

do the rice cooker

[graceful burrow]

Idk what you mean by this

[full fossil]

can i keep that?

[full fossil]

ik about those sites....

[graceful burrow]

You can do whatever you want with it idc

[neon mesa]

Gonna remote to my pc real quick

[west sentinel]

I fucking hate having no embed permission on this channel

[full fossil]

also yes that is, that's alternative universe tom cruise where he became a Mormon

[full fossil]

thanks chief

[graceful burrow]

Lol
Lmao, even

[neon mesa]

VPN won't connect i can't remote

[full fossil]

I"m so excited to play bl3

[west sentinel]

I am not giving my single dollar to Linus Tech Tips just to use my money to make stupid fucking crazy idea for content instead of helpful influencing videos

[full fossil]

i was worried my rtx 3050 couldn't play it

[graceful burrow]

So dont
Pay discord and boost the server

[west sentinel]

cannot

[full fossil]

i could boost the server

[graceful burrow]

Then don't complain

[balmy scroll]

Anyone knows any good stable android emulator on pc , not tryna play games , just run apps

[west sentinel]

I will

[graceful burrow]

You should probably delete this

[finite cloud]

Maybe you don’t need embed permits

[neon mesa]

my stable diffusion folder has so much no no file accidentally sending one here will be disaster

[fluid ridge]

[hollow zealot]

Buy

[full fossil]

thank god i got it before it was deleted

[fluid ridge]

why are there no external sticker perms

wow after 9 hours i can finaly use the dts and dolby digital funktions of my logitech z906 speakers

[finite cloud]

Discord broke my gifs again

[full fossil]

i thought a rtx 3050 couldn't play borderlands 3

[full fossil]

but it can so that's cool

[small zephyr]

and oof i kinda dont like the font windows 11 is using on standard

[vapid smelt]

speaking of broke all the green names in chat

[finite cloud]

Exactly

[full fossil]

oi

i'm not broke, i just put my money into things

I bought a large thing of meat and now it's in my stomach

[west sentinel]

rtx 3050 is literally RTX 2060

[full fossil]

but it's a rtx 3050 in a laptop

[neon mesa]

i forgot but here is your military waifu

[vapid smelt]

[full fossil]

it has 4 gbs then the usual

i don't play raytracing though

[graceful burrow]

Alright

[small zephyr]

my usb china soundcards disk ahs an like 2000's style installer xD

[full fossil]

this laptop is a upgrade from my desktop i had

[neon mesa]

RTX 5090XTX

[finite cloud]

Out of the three good gpus we have, the 1080 ti, the 3050 ti, and the 2060 super, the 1080 still beats them

[full fossil]

My desktop has a gts 250 512 mbs

[arctic depot]

danke

[west sentinel]

where the fuck do you use AI to convert it

[full fossil]

my modern soundcard does as well

and a pentium e5200

so this laptop is leagues better then it

[neon mesa]

AI Cat waifu

[graceful burrow]

Convert what

[small zephyr]

you guys still remember when you the insataller ofgame were full basicly blocked your pc while it was doing its thing?

[neon mesa]

3 models

[graceful burrow]

Answer me
Convert what

[full fossil]

nice

[vapid smelt]

.... the first one

[west sentinel]

the one you used to convert it to anime

[neon mesa]

don't ask

[graceful burrow]

I'm not converting anything
I'm generating new images

[west sentinel]

oh

[vapid smelt]

aldonist is a artist

[neon mesa]

@graceful burrow fight me

[graceful burrow]

You are absolutely not winning in Anime against me bud calm down

[neon mesa]

are you sure about that

[small zephyr]

whats the msi companion app for?

[neon mesa]

nah just different style preference

[graceful burrow]

@wind pulsar lmao

[neon mesa]

and my model is more optimized for... that...

you know what that

[graceful burrow]

Wouldn't win in that either sorry

[wind pulsar]

I like that

[wind pulsar]

What's up?

[neon mesa]

give me your prompt

[graceful burrow]

Me?

[small zephyr]

🤨 fuck you msi you plagued me with trying to install norten for 3 years on windows 10 and on windows 11 you ask me one time and disappear completely?

[neon mesa]

yes

i gotta try to generate it

and negative one too

[graceful burrow]

I use a different model

[wind pulsar]

???

[graceful burrow]

I don't use waifu diff

[neon mesa]

yeah so? new result

[wind pulsar]

He very likely uses an entirely different weight

[neon mesa]

i wanna see how it ends up

[graceful burrow]

You think given the recent images Fiona could generate better animr

[wind pulsar]

I doubt it

[graceful burrow]

Sorry fiona

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-sound-of-weebs-weebs-weaboo-anime-lovers-otaku-gif-14605811

[wind pulsar]

Remove the cat ears and make the eyes silver and you effectively generated me, congratulations

[neon mesa]

that character is me

if you see my pfp

[small zephyr]

oh shit here we go again...\

[wind pulsar]

No like, me IRL

[vapid smelt]

and make them shorter

[small zephyr]

there it is norten..... you sneaky little urgh

[wind pulsar]

How about I break your kneecaps, let's see how tall you are then

[neon mesa]

time for more nightmare cards

waifu diffusion sucked at converting real humans to anime

[wind pulsar]

@graceful burrow You know what funni

[graceful burrow]

?

[vapid smelt]

then i can call out of work

[wind pulsar]

1080 Ti's are sub $200, so the M40 might've been, like, avoidable

[neon mesa]

actually aldo should make a GPU too because result will be funni

[graceful burrow]

(I'm good)

[neon mesa]

yeahhh it'll take a while for me (cries in amd)

[graceful burrow]

It's fine

[wind pulsar]

I know you are and I know it runs fine

[vapid smelt]

why buy a 1080ti when the 5700xt is just as cheap

[neon mesa]

AMD sucked at SD

[small zephyr]

Okay I already hate windows 11

[wind pulsar]

Because Stable Diffusion wants CUDA cores

[vapid smelt]

damn cuda monopoly

[small zephyr]

Apearantly it just straight restarts without asking when you update some drivers

[wind pulsar]

Depending on how much I break them, you can file for early retirement because disability

🤝

[graceful burrow]

Never had this issue been on win11 since the beginning

[neon mesa]

this is AMD life

[wind pulsar]

I probably wouldn't have a problem updating my HTPC to w11 without tpm 2.0 either, lol

[neon mesa]

i want SD to run fast but don't wanna support nvidia
the dillema

[graceful burrow]

Buy used

[wind pulsar]

Then buy used

You literally were told that like yesterday

[neon mesa]

used market do indirectly help nvidia

[graceful burrow]

Then cry

Simple as

[neon mesa]

yeah imma cry in the corner

[wind pulsar]

I genuinely don't see how

[neon mesa]

still not done yet

the money itself don't go to them but it keeps the nvidia market strong

my money might be used to buy a new nvidia card who knows since a lot of used sellers are actually just resellers

[wind pulsar]

Well, I guess cry over waiting six seconds instead of one for a render

Like, oh my god, six seconds

[neon mesa]

not 6 seconds, 4 minutes

[wind pulsar]

Oh dear

Skill issue

[graceful burrow]

Fiona said like
7 seconds per sample

[neon mesa]

3 for t2i

closer to 4 for i2i

mins

what even is this

[wind pulsar]

How long took one sample with the M40? I'm pretty sure 6 batch generations also took relatively long, lol

[graceful burrow]

I have not even plugged the card in

I don't have the raijintek yet

[wind pulsar]

Fair enough

But I'm pretty sure it was still fairly long when I used it

[neon mesa]

you know, fuck it, i'm getting a 2060 super used in february

after i upgrade to a 5600

[graceful burrow]

I'm on a 1080
20 series an up get a huge boost to generation speeds due to proper fp16 support

[wind pulsar]

Not a 2060 12GB?

[graceful burrow]

Like 4x boost

[neon mesa]

i also want games to run well

2060 non super is 30%+ slower

[wicked wigeon]

Is there a help chat or do I just let it rip

[wind pulsar]

Not the 12GB, lol

[graceful burrow]

#1027757333117415424 for tech support

[neon mesa]

oh yeah 2060 will be power hog compared to my 6600XT

then i might need a 3060

[graceful burrow]

And slower in games

[vapid smelt]

$450

[wind pulsar]

Ah shit, I closed the Pointcrow Zelda video

[graceful burrow]

Rekt idiot

[wind pulsar]

I'm on a three hour marathon on Windwalker HD

[graceful burrow]

Based

[wind pulsar]

How to experience Windwalker without experiencing Windwalker

[graceful burrow]

Good game

[neon mesa]

used

[wind pulsar]

I traded my Botw at some point, I want to get Botw + DLC packs and Age of Calamity as well as Botw 2, I really miss playing it

[neon mesa]

actually, imma give the ROCm method a shot

[wicked wigeon]

Alright, done. Thank you.

[vapid smelt]

for the 12 or 8gb model 😛

[neon mesa]

12 of course, 8GB is more like a 3050ti super

[wind pulsar]

(I traded it to my older brother, he gave me Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization & Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet Complete edition for it)

Which is like a nice deal in my favor, I like the games and he wasn't interested in them

As long business or money related to business isn't coming up me and my siblings actually get along, surprisingly

[sonic spruce]

Can someone please help me I have no idea what to do

I’m m trying to put windows on my ssd from bios

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/bhibatsam-acharya-no-no-ram-charan-neelambari-gif-25332825

[sonic spruce]

Pretty please

[graceful burrow]

Make a post in #1027757333117415424

[sonic spruce]

You’re a hater

[sonic spruce]

I DID

[vapid smelt]

we charge $30 per hour per person helping for techsupport related issues out side of #1027757333117415424

[graceful burrow]

Okay
Now wait

[sonic spruce]

I WAITED AN HOUR ALREADY

sorry for caps

[graceful burrow]

Wait more

[sonic spruce]

$5 and through paypal

[neon mesa]

try asking chat gpt trol

[vapid smelt]

no

[graceful burrow]

Wait more until someone answers or the problem resolves itself

[sonic spruce]

$10 an hour

$10 an hour + $10 for helping

[graceful burrow]

No
Stop trying to buy services, the mods will ding you for it

[vapid smelt]

so impatient! kids these days and needing instant help and gratification

[sonic spruce]

So y = 10x + 10

[sonic spruce]

I’m older than you

[small zephyr]

is it just me or is windows 11 just faster in everything even on the same drives?

[vapid smelt]

your over 22?

[wind pulsar]

How old are you?

[neon mesa]

yooo this not bad

[sonic spruce]

Nevermind

[sonic spruce]

21

[neon mesa]

[wind pulsar]

..

[sonic spruce]

Ok so what do I do?

[vapid smelt]

wait in techsupport

[graceful burrow]

Stop spamming channels pleading for help and wait in tech support

[sonic spruce]

Beth

Bruh*

[neon mesa]

and instead of saying "i need help"
say "my ** is broken"

[sonic spruce]

My pp is broken?

[graceful burrow]

It's not broken he just can't install windows

[neon mesa]

example

[vapid smelt]

red gives off the vibes that they are 13 ngl

[sonic spruce]

I did that 10 times doesn’t help

[vapid smelt]

contact windows support

i know its crazy to think the people who make the software can help

[leaden gale]

What does it show

[worldly kayak]

hi ltt discord

[small zephyr]

urgh clean windows install was realy needed but i always avoided it since installing rivers all the launchers and stuff is such a huge pain

[tough lance]

hello your komputar got vires

[graceful burrow]

Help him not in public

We actually chat here

[neon mesa]

well that's easy

[leaden gale]

My bad chief, I'll take it up in his #1027757333117415424 thread

[wind pulsar]

I downloaded the image you posted earlier, with the short red hair, love it

[sonic spruce]

I HAVE WINDOWS ALREADY

[vapid smelt]

the weebs where talking about SD and weeb art shit before red came in here crying for help

[sonic spruce]

How do I delete it and reinstall in on my ssd??!!!

[graceful burrow]

I put it in the dingus chat in TT too along with a few others

[wind pulsar]

Tbh, a lot of stuff me and Aldo did on his SD was food

[graceful burrow]

Wait red hair?

[vapid smelt]

food 👀

[graceful burrow]

What

[wind pulsar]

Don't mind me, was my braindamage

[neon mesa]

literally this easy

we have AI helper now, go there honestly

[wind pulsar]

I thought of the color 'red' when I wrote it, I meant the black hair

[sonic spruce]

It’s an hdd

[neon mesa]

same steps

[graceful burrow]

Dingus

[neon mesa]

and just go to the AI yourself

[sonic spruce]

Bios not UEFI

[neon mesa]

UEFI is just BIOS with GUI (more complicated under the hood but basically that)

[vapid smelt]

are you sure you didnt type that in backwards?

[wraith sonnet]

windows installation media, boot into it

use command prompt

[wind pulsar]

Dude

[wraith sonnet]

type disk part

[wind pulsar]

This isn't tech support

[vapid smelt]

can you come shovel for me

[wraith sonnet]

sel disk 0

clean

[wind pulsar]

Do it in tech-support, not in the damn public channel

[graceful burrow]

Go help him in his #1027757333117415424 thread

[neon mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iC-Qkm186A like one second search

[graceful burrow]

He's spammed this damn channel too much

[neon mesa]

Yo i have embed now
suck it floatplane

[vapid smelt]

[neon mesa]

[hollow zealot]

Bruh imagine not supporting lmg

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/machine-gun-guns-smoke-weapon-gif-17114615

[sonic spruce]

Yes

[wind pulsar]

The company? Not really, honestly

[neon mesa]

linus ain't small fry anymore

big corpo basically now

[vapid smelt]

wdym he is small af nearly every worker is taller than him

[hollow zealot]

No company is your friend tbh

[neon mesa]

[wind pulsar]

Every company except my own. 🤝

[vapid smelt]

every company elon owns is my friend

[neon mesa]

unless my 5 bucks goes to anthony's lunch i ain't paying

as good as elon buying twitter is

he shouldn't have tbh
he needs to focus on mars

twitter is less impactful than he thinks it is

[vapid smelt]

why focus on mars when our own planet is suffering

[neon mesa]

think of it like RAID

and we can only do so much here
a meteor will wipe us anyway

not if we have two planets

[vapid smelt]

we cant live on mars

[neon mesa]

and like hard drives
no matter how good we take care of it it might still die
but you're not fucked if you have RAID 1

lets say we fixed earth and now it's a green and healthy utopia

that meteor gonna fuck it up anyway, polluted or not

and why only do one

fix earth and get a new planet

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqKGREZs6-w

[hollow zealot]

Yoo I got halflife 2 running on my gt 520

[leaden gale]

RAID 5 and 6 would like to have a word with you

[neon mesa]

we'll need a lot more planet than mars

[neon mesa]

the alternative is sitting on earth waiting for another dinosaur event

[leaden gale]

It just dawned on me that you were giving metaphors about RAID arrays

[vapid smelt]

nuke the meteor

[neon mesa]

ineffective, there are some studies about it

[vapid smelt]

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-s-dart-mission-hits-asteroid-in-first-ever-planetary-defense-test/

[neon mesa]

i already saw that one, it doesn't do much

and i was typing

we need to detect it wayy in advance to make any changes

and one of our biggest problem right now is actually that

[hollow zealot]

What's that movie about the dudes flying to an asteroid and detonating a nuke on it

[vapid smelt]

police space patrols

[neon mesa]

impossible to do irl

come on, their space shuttle acted like fighter jets

[hollow zealot]

I am just trying to remember the movie lol

[neon mesa]

armageddon

[hollow zealot]

It was a good movie

Yeah that one

[neon mesa]

that one movie with aerosmith song

[hollow zealot]

I mean we could nuke asteroids

[neon mesa]

there is no fault in trying to fix mars

we can do multiple things at once

earth can only be our home for so long

[hollow pulsar]

A lot of the destructive effect of a nuke uses an atmosphere

[neon mesa]

and we can't just stagnate our population forever

[vapid smelt]

i mean its not a bad thing if we all die

[hollow pulsar]

I have a slightly different take in that I don’t believe humans will ever be wiped out.

[hollow zealot]

Well
In space, nukes become essentially light bombs
They bake whatever material the "blast" comes in contact with, and generally causes said material to explode

[vapid smelt]

enough power just to move it enough to not hit us

[hollow zealot]

Best case scenario for asteroids is you nuke them and set them on a course away from the earth
Worst case is you break them into pieces and destroy the earth

But y'know
This is all theoretical

[neon mesa]

we will be if we don't have a second home

[vapid smelt]

or before the asteroids hit us we nuke ourselves

[neon mesa]

and no we can't just "bunker it out" like a nuclear war

asteroid damage last a looooong time

nuclear war won't kill us all

there aren't enough nukes and they have gotten smaller in yield

[vapid smelt]

i would rather die then live in a bunker on earth or mars

[neon mesa]

@graceful burrow

[jaunty compass]

All roads really lead back to steam, don't they

[jaunty compass]

Did you ask dall e to make a gpu

[neon mesa]

stable diffusion

image to image

[jaunty compass]

Could have sworn I saw this in a movie Once

[wraith sonnet]

leaked EVGA B770 card

[wind pulsar]

Nah, there's more than just Dall E out there, lol

[jaunty compass]

Armageddon?

[neon mesa]

Dall E sucked

[jaunty compass]

Or was that the one where they just moved it

[neon mesa]

because restrictions and online only

[jaunty compass]

*nuked it

[neon mesa]

stable diffusion is freedom

[jaunty compass]

Dall E 2 is pretty cool

[hollow zealot]

I ran an image generator locally

Is that what you're doing?

[neon mesa]

yes

i have stable diffusion on my pc

[hollow zealot]

That is what I used as well

[jaunty compass]

Me and the boys making Fischer price guillotines with ai

[hollow pulsar]

Lllolll what…. Lllooooololol

[hollow zealot]

This is one of my favorites
"Linus Tech Tips"

[jaunty compass]

Youve never seen it?

[hollow pulsar]

Nope

[neon mesa]

ah yes uiiiclis tiniricis tech tips

[jaunty compass]

It was a meme from a while ago, Fischer price makes kids toys

[hollow zealot]

I love the uncanny valley that this stuff can fall into

[neon mesa]

UTTT

[jaunty compass]

So the joke was baby's first guillotine

[hollow pulsar]

Yep. I’m familiar with the company.

[jaunty compass]

And it was a guillotine in the style of the Fisher-Price babies toys

[neon mesa]

it gets better and better

[jaunty compass]

Now it just needs pcie

[hollow zealot]

Here's another

[hollow pulsar]

One of my favorites was eye of Sauron reading a newspaper. If anything, these AI bots have inspired the endless creativity of human beings.

[neon mesa]

IH EU GIC TIUNA

[wind pulsar]

Well duh, that's how AI improves

[graceful burrow]

it was a Corridor Digital (corridor crew technically) video

[neon mesa]

nah i just change the parameters

[jaunty compass]

Man my joke just got blocked by the censors

[hollow zealot]

It was an amazing corridor video
One of my favorites recently was the bowling alley one

[jaunty compass]

Goofy aaa Linus tech tips

[hollow zealot]

I think one of the closest to real images I've generated is this one:

[jaunty compass]

Ah yes, wax figure Elon musk

With tentacle hand

[hollow zealot]

But the closer you look the worse it gets

[hollow pulsar]

Don’t look too closely at his fingers. His index is halfway through eating his thumb

[jaunty compass]

His hands are fused together

[neon mesa]

Emon lusk

[wind pulsar]

Still improves even if you change parameters, lol

[jaunty compass]

Melon tusk

It's kinda Elon™

[hollow zealot]

I think I have a folder of around 100 images I've generated messing around
They take my PC about 10 seconds per

[jaunty compass]

I can't believe it's not Elon!™

[wraith sonnet]

here have fun

[neon mesa]

SD don't improve with each image generated, it relies on a pretrained model, you improve it by putting more in that model

especially if ran locally

[hollow pulsar]

AI is like a US senate bill. It’s pretty much the opposite meaning. It’s artificial and has no intelligence whatsoever.

[neon mesa]

online SD services might use their generated images to improve models

but locally generated ones don't do shit

uhh?

[hollow zealot]

I spent a lot of time on cats with hats

[neon mesa]

i spend a lot of time on ahem

can't show that work here

Luiiclis Tinricis is like ancient linus tech tips

What would be the absolute cheapest way to get a 5800x3d

[vapid smelt]

This is true

[full fossil]

"today on Luiiclis Tinricis we will review the new roman aquaducts and show you fellow roman peasants how your water will come to you, just like this sponsor comes to you"

[idle skiff]

Are prices predicted to rise after the 7000x3d chips drop? They'll stop producing 5800x3d correct?

[full fossil]

ok bad joke, sorry..

[idle skiff]

Wasn't a bad joke, but this is a bad sague... to our sponsor!

I wanna look up ai generated stuff now

[wraith sonnet]

I have bad news for you

[vapid smelt]

borderlands sucks

[full fossil]

okay, that's your opinion and I respect it either way : )

[wind pulsar]

Absolutely hate Borderlands as well, don't like the theme and how it looks, lol

[chilly schooner]

Anyone able to snag an XTX?

[wind pulsar]

Sure

[vapid smelt]

200,000 people did

[chilly schooner]

Anyone in here?

[wind pulsar]

We should have one ordered, lol

[full fossil]

i been dying to play borderlands 3 since i had my gts 250 desktop my mom bought me

: )

[wind pulsar]

Wut?

[full fossil]

gonna have so much fun 🙂

[wind pulsar]

Like, you run a system with a GTS 250 right now?

[full fossil]

no used to, only recently I got a new laptop that has better specs

[wind pulsar]

I see

[full fossil]

i had a gts 250 with 512 mbs of vram

[barren sage]

Mastodon?

[full fossil]

and a pentium e5200 and 4 gbs of ram and 80 gb hard drive

[fluid ridge]

asrock packages bloatware in bios updates

note to self never fucking update bios again

you cant even delete this shit

[full fossil]

but my friend who wanted me to have a awesome 20th birthday bought me a gaming laptop

[fluid ridge]

rich friend

[vapid smelt]

smh cant even drink

[full fossil]

i went from a gts 250 to a rtx 3050 laptop gpu

a pentium e5200 to a i5 11400h

4 gbs of ram to 16 gbs

and 80 gbs of storage to 512 gbs of m.2 storage

made me really happy

[wind pulsar]

[full fossil]

but i'm greatful as well, not a lot of people have friends like I have

[fluid ridge]

80 gigs of storage

isnt windows 30 or 40 gigabytes

[full fossil]

i had windows 7

[wind pulsar]

They very likely didn't use Windows 10 on it, lol

[fluid ridge]

oh

are you rocking 11 right now?

[full fossil]

yeah

[fluid ridge]

must be so refreshing lol

[full fossil]

it's nice

I heard 10 is better in some cases, I did have a windows 10 laptop but it had a celeron in it so i couldn't game on it

[fluid ridge]

10 is absolute asscheeks

[chilly schooner]

7 was the goat

[fluid ridge]

pray to the heavens that you managed to avoid it

[full fossil]

i like how fast it loads too, but I do miss on windows 10 where you could see the weather

[chilly schooner]

hows 11, im stuck on 10, soon to be 11.

[fluid ridge]

11 is like the infinitely superior version to 10

it's like the super saiyan version of windows 10

[chilly schooner]

thats good then

[fluid ridge]

it's like the founding titan of windows 10

[chilly schooner]

what did they improve?

[fluid ridge]

everything

[full fossil]

a lot

[tender geyser]

Did they fix the bs where you couldn’t drag and drop files with the task bar

[fluid ridge]

most notably the user interface isn't cancerous to the eyes

[full fossil]

ok, gonna go play borderlands 3 finally after waiting so LONG

[fluid ridge]

it actually looks minimalistic and modern

[chilly schooner]

the real test is, can i get rid of edge.

[tender geyser]

Edge is fuckin great

Ngl

[fluid ridge]

why would you use anything other than firefox

[tender geyser]

When you get the free win 11 upgrade do you have to sign in with a Microsoft account

[neon mesa]

another

[tender geyser]

To set up

[chilly schooner]

I think the latest release practically forces you.

[fluid ridge]

i had the option to use a local account since if you do a clean install your machine doesn't have wifi drivers

[chilly schooner]

But you can make a bootable with RUFUS that allows you to bypass this with a local account.

[finite cloud]

i dont mind it but i dont like how microsoft is pushing it. it was my main browser for a year or two

[chilly schooner]

the internet trick worked on previous builds, but the latest build wont allow you to do that.

get the w11 iso from microsofts website, then use rufus.

[fluid ridge]

i just genuinely didnt have a means of connecting my microsoft account lol

[fast parrot]

Faster

[chilly schooner]

the idea of having to link my ms account to my OS is just cancer.

local account all day

[fast parrot]

I have ran browser benchmarks, brave did better than firefox

[fluid ridge]

no way chromium is faster than firefox

[finite cloud]

i dont trust firefox

[fast parrot]

It is, at least for me

[fluid ridge]

?????????????//////////////

[finite cloud]

i use ungoogled chromium

[fluid ridge]

??????////////////????????????

[fast parrot]

Firefox is an open source project?

[fluid ridge]

sir firefox is open source

and widely known as the most privacy respecting and secure browsers out there

[wind pulsar]

Because it'd be a pain in the ass for me to set the bookmarks up again for me, lol

[finite cloud]

somewhere i heard there was some privacy concerning stuff so i stopped using it

[fluid ridge]

mozilla is a non profit organization

they dont sell your data

[neon mesa]

can't know for sure

[fluid ridge]

for my firefox, i have bookmarks disabled, browsing history disabled, recommendations disabled and on ddg with like 50 privacy protecting addons

[finite cloud]

maybe its gotten better since i dont know

[teal atlas]

hi

[fluid ridge]

but you can because it's open source

tor is built on firefox

[fast parrot]

could as well be a vulnerability in a browser that hackers have advantage of

[fluid ridge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375449815275929622/1051737383470645288/firefox_y4jr9QsoIr.gif?width=810&height=455 (someone with image perms please repost this is what my firefox looks like)

[fluid ridge]

could you not say the same about chrome

there are hundreds of hypothetical what-if breaches

[fast parrot]

and not actual?

[finite cloud]

i could probably switch to it again. im not sure the true reason i stopped using it besides i heard some shady stuff about them. maybe it was me trying to find a more private browser. or maybe firefox was missing something i wanted

[fluid ridge]

there is no more private browser than firefox with actual usability

you could use tor but that's built on firefox as well

[fast parrot]

brave

[fluid ridge]

brave is bloated with cryptoware garbage and still based on chromium

meaning they are at the whims of google

[fast parrot]

so?

[finite cloud]

brave is chinese chrome

also i think its a bit aggressive on hardware usage

[fast parrot]

It's not

[fluid ridge]

"and the CIA backdoors into it"
"so?"

[finite cloud]

for some reason i never get tor working

[fluid ridge]

idk what to tell you my brother

[fluid ridge]

you probably have lol it's just slow as balls

[fast parrot]

So you are saying CIA backdoors are equal to cryptoware?

man where's common sense

[finite cloud]

no i mean...it never connects

[fluid ridge]

cia blacklist

[finite cloud]

i think its my network's firewall

so since i cant use tor i use ungoogled chromium. that and firefox will probably be the only browsers i use besides safari on iOS

[fluid ridge]

tor is mostly useless unless you want to do a .onion or you are under serious threat or paranoid

[fluid ridge]

i recommend firefox only

i dont see how you can take the cheese out of a cheesecake

[fast parrot]

why are you so pissy about chromium

[fluid ridge]

because google

[tender geyser]

Chrome bad!

[fluid ridge]

google bad!

[tender geyser]

Google bad

[supple topaz]

Then it’s just regular cake

[fast parrot]

ungoogled-chromium

[finite cloud]

to be honest if a browser like ungoogled takes google's spyware stuff out then its fine. chromium itself isnt the issue its who makes it

[finite cloud]

thats what i use

[fluid ridge]

doesnt google maintain chromium, which in part also maintains brave

correct me if im wrong but don't companies like brave, opera and edge update according to chromium

[past egret]

what about chrome canary

[finite cloud]

yeah

[finite cloud]

its just chrome but unstable

[past egret]

is that worse or better

[fluid ridge]

so how do you remove the google from the chromium

it's still under google control

[ocean pawn]

...

What the fuck are you talking about

[fluid ridge]

your mother

[fast parrot]

i don't even know anymore

peak comedy

[finite cloud]

heres the git hub page. i dont really know how they did it but they for the most part broke google's services

https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

[fast parrot]

laugh out loud

[past egret]

tbh steam overlay 2013 chromium

[ocean pawn]

Triage is like that crackhead at the gas station at 2AM talking to himself

[fluid ridge]

idk seems like a lot of effort when you can just use firefox

[fast parrot]

Firefox still uses google as search engine

[finite cloud]

like i said i didnt trust firefox at the time and ive been using this browser for about a year now

[fluid ridge]

dont use it as a search engine

[past egret]

good point, just use edge

[fluid ridge]

settings > default search engine > ddg

or you can add your own custom search engine

edge is probably more privacy respecting than chrome is but i really dislike bing

[finite cloud]

use what...?

[fast parrot]

edge is chromium-based

[fluid ridge]

i am aware

im saying the latest build of edge probably farms less data than the latest build of chrome

[finite cloud]

hah no. they use chromium and owned by microsoft. the same company that makes windows and bing. you think they are gonna be much better?

[fluid ridge]

it's pretty hard to be worse than google

[fast parrot]

I heard edge on Linux is better than it is on windows

[fluid ridge]

in fact if that's the case i would be impressed

[finite cloud]

didnt say worse

[past egret]

its also pretty easy to just not use the internet

[warped narwhal]

no?

[fluid ridge]

worse as in probably giving your search history to the CIA

[past egret]

not with that attitude

[wind pulsar]

Yes

[finite cloud]

probably. microsoft cant really integrate their funky stuff into the OS

[warped narwhal]

now that internet access is literally considered a modern human right....

[wind pulsar]

Still easy

[fluid ridge]

since when

[wind pulsar]

Don't know if you knew, but books exist

[wind pulsar]

In some countries it's a basic human necessity by law

[fluid ridge]

yeah until they 1984 your local library

[finite cloud]

i have to basically rely on the internet. unless i want to start using type writers, letters, and old school phones

[past egret]

you can just deny it since its a service you CAN have, but not necessarily use.

Its good to be ignorant

[warped narwhal]

fair-ish

that doesn't make it "easy"

[wind pulsar]

It is easy

Just get a grip

[neon mesa]

we just digging ourselves deeper

putting human society into one point of failure

internet

[warped narwhal]

or segregation without so idk

[past egret]

not segregation, isolation

[warped narwhal]

both

Will happen

the point of the internet was so people could communicate easier

which ended up also promoting human rights such as freedom of speech (eg. e-petitions when people couldn't make it to protests)

[fluid ridge]

yeah until it didnt

[warped narwhal]

At what point "until it didn't"? when all you looked for is reddit posts?

that's the issue

People don't know how to use or who to trust on the internet

[fluid ridge]

china iran north korea afghanistan russia

[warped narwhal]

the internet itself was never an issue

[fluid ridge]

im probably missing a few here

[median idol]

Syria

[warped narwhal]

China I can still talk to my family there

[fluid ridge]

yeah until they say the wrong thing on wechat and get disappeared

[warped narwhal]

Well

not quite

But sure if that's what you believe

it's more nuanced than that

[fluid ridge]

first offence -100 social credit points, second offence reeducation, third offence

[warped narwhal]

without internet you wouldn't know literally anything about everything outside of maybe your province/state

[median idol]

It's all fun and games until the mukhabarat comes knocking on your door for posting something in opposition against the president

[warped narwhal]

haha

skill issue also when did slow mode reset to 5?

[fluid ridge]

it's never not been 5

[warped narwhal]

Anyways Canadian gang I could call little potato a dumbass and be fine

[warped narwhal]

it was 10 when I last was here

[fluid ridge]

the highest level of "freedom of speech" per say against the government is in america

canada does not have freedom of speech, it has freedom of expression

[warped narwhal]

which was back in sept

[fast parrot]

"you are a bitch because I said so"

[finite cloud]

they did it a while ago

[fluid ridge]

perhaps

[warped narwhal]

it's to protect against gov't not to each other

but ok

[manic torrent]

Per se

[fluid ridge]

freedom of speech means that your speech is protected under law, meaning that at no point can the government come in and be like "hey what you said was mean so you're going to jail" or "we disagree with what you stand for so to the gulags you go"

[warped narwhal]

and that's the same as expression no?

[fluid ridge]

no it's not

freedom of expression is a lot more restrictive than freedom of speech is

[warped narwhal]

Expression allows you to peacefully protest

Or speak out against the gov't

[fluid ridge]

yeah until it didnt

[manic torrent]

usa has a bill of rights. Many other countries do not.

[warped narwhal]

I was talking abt Canada

[fluid ridge]

yeah im talking about canada too

🚚

[warped narwhal]

at least I didn't get tear gassed when I was at a protest

That being said I don't trust anyone which is why I generally avoid politics

[fluid ridge]

i think having a bill of rights/constitution/charter, whatever you want to call it, is easy but for most countries it's either super easy to amend or the rights just don't reach very far in the first place for a need to amend it

[opaque cave]

Anyone know of a 3 in 1 wireless charger for samsung watch 4, sony wf1000xm3 and a pixel 6? Preferably a stand, instead of a flat pad

When i read online they all say specifically for galaxy phones or iphones, so im unsure if i can use one of samsungs stands for my needs

[warped narwhal]

google: "wireless charging station"

Samsung apple Sony doesn't matter

powermat is dead so they all use qi

[opaque cave]

Oooh okey, thanks so much man

[gilded quest]

That's just Amazon keyword shenanigans for the most part

HOWEVER

Certain phones support certain FAST wireless charging specs

[warped narwhal]

notably Samsung and OnePlus

[gilded quest]

Pixel does too, now

[opaque cave]

Since pixel 6 right?

[warped narwhal]

but if the question is just will it charge then it doesn't matter

[gilded quest]

Yes

[opaque cave]

Yeh more or less will it charge lol

[gilded quest]

Yeah all should charge a minimum of 5W

[warped narwhal]

i haven't paid attention to phones for a hot minute

[gilded quest]

Just sometimes you'll get faster if both support the right spec

[opaque cave]

Aight thanks for the input guys, ill have a search around

[tough spruce]

@manic torrent my seats for the new avatar

[granite finch]

Hi guys, what a lovely day init?

[tough spruce]

It’s 10pm

[gilded quest]

For wireless charging that's fast enough

Even with 23W shit gets hot

[granite finch]

Contemptible for the vexation Mr.False, But I dwell in the nexus Paris of France mate.

[tough spruce]

Fair

[granite finch]

Indeed.

[tough spruce]

That’s what a 65-80% efficiency rate will do to you

Even a few watts on a small area can get warm

That’s just qi being shit

80% is quite generous (although achievable with good alignment)

[gilded quest]

Yeah lol
At least the pixel stand has an (inaudible) fan which does seem to keep it a little cooler

[vapid smelt]

the apple wireless mag chager is pretty good with efficacy since of the magnets

[tough spruce]

Yep, I believe they are in the mid to high 80 range

Just because it’s always perfectly aligned.

They also don’t use standard voltages for the output on MagSafe pucks iirc

The MagSafe puck is a pretty neat little device

[gilded quest]

Magsafe puck input maxes at 9V3A and output maxes at 15W

[tough spruce]

I believe they output 8v instead of the (usual) 9v

[sonic spruce]

How do I move stuff from hdd to ssd?

[tough spruce]

No idea why, efficiency reasons I assume

[gilded quest]

Although I don't think it will actually draw 27W. Probably around 20W is needed

[tough spruce]

9v2a*

[gilded quest]

Well yes but also no

Apples own site says up to 9V and up to 3A, but they definitely don't mean it as 9V @ 3A

[tough spruce]

Yeah

[gilded quest]

Finally found the exact specs

[tough spruce]

Yeah it aims for 20/23 watts

[gilded quest]

The MagSafe Charger is designed to negotiate the max power up to 9 volt (V) and 3 amp (A) with a USB PD-compatible power adapter.

I don't like that wording

[tough spruce]

Yeah that’s pretty shit

Apple and usb PD is annoying though.

Especially when it comes to wireless chargers

Aka MagSafe/Apple Watch

[gilded quest]

Mhm

[indigo plume]

I hear alot of negative comments about 7900 series launch

[gilded quest]

For wired charging I prefer PD-PPS

[indigo plume]

So did amd take another L

With their gpus

[gilded quest]

Which both Google and Samsung do, at least on the high end

[fluid ridge]

haters will hate

[gilded quest]

heaters will heat

[indigo plume]

Seems like ppl aren't impress with 7900s

[tough spruce]

Tldr, use an apple adapter or jump off a cliff

[vapid smelt]

7900xtx is good 4080 performance for 200 less

[fluid ridge]

isnt the productivity shit on the 7000 series still ass

[gilded quest]

Yes it does. I don't know if Pixel A series or Galaxy A series use PPS or not

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/drivers-gif-8338522

[rustic crown]

The encoder is basically on par from what I remember

rocm is getting better each day

[jaunty compass]

What else is new

That's been an AMD caveat for a while now

[vapid smelt]

its like the apps are optimized for only team green

[jaunty compass]

Wacky

[wanton glade]

Who would optimize apps for amd ? (I would)

[velvet marsh]

I think the radeon vii was the last amd gpu good at productivity

[full fossil]

I'm looking for a good case for an SSI CEB form factor motherboard that must lie flat (or else it will snap). It should be open air but not a cardboard box.

I currently have it setting on a cardboard box.

I need about a foot of vertical clearance.

[covert nimbus]

Fractal is such a tease i swear

they keep releasing amazing looking cases

[fluid ridge]

anya forger

[covert nimbus]

but nothing in E-ATX

and everything with less than 4 HDD bays

[full fossil]

I also need easy access to the PCIe slots.

[covert nimbus]

shame because the North looks amazing

but it completely neglects workstation users

[vapid smelt]

Just buy 2 20tb hdds

[full fossil]

So something like a test bench with ATX mounts and some horizontal clearance would be ideal.

[covert nimbus]

i would pay $250 for a full sized North

[covert nimbus]

redundancy is important

[velvet marsh]

Just get a NAS

[covert nimbus]

why would i want a NAS

i only have 1 desktop

that i use consistently

[velvet marsh]

"workstation"

[vapid smelt]

large storage in raid

[covert nimbus]

yeah its a workstation i use to game on the side

[velvet marsh]

gaming machine you use to do work?

[covert nimbus]

really a work machine i use to game

its a threadripper workstation

EATX board 56 tb storage 128 gb ram

[velvet marsh]

lol yeah you probably should have a NAS

[covert nimbus]

dont see the point

why would i want another computer just to store shit on

[vapid smelt]

number 2

[covert nimbus]

thats dumb

[velvet marsh]

Which board?

[covert nimbus]

i have cloud backups

[past egret]

you dont need another computer, just get another drive

[velvet marsh]

I have a copy of my recent stuff on my workstation and archival on my NAS

[full fossil]

hmm, so nobody has suggestions for cases for an old threadripper system whose pcie slots needs to be constantly accessed?

[vapid smelt]

what if something happens to your pc, it gets stolen, you linus drop it and the drives die, would you have any other physical copy of the data you could access?

[covert nimbus]

why would i need that

i have cloud backups

[covert nimbus]

redundancy to reduce downtime if im pulling backups from off my computer anyways its going to take around the same amount of time

[full fossil]

i have an older threadripper on a nonstandard motherboard that is compatible with atx. i'm looking for a good case because it want to transition this system to a workstation

i don't want people at my work to bump into it accidentally, hence the case

so basically, i'm looking for a good case

[vapid smelt]

@full fossil I would browse pcpartpicker

[covert nimbus]

look for a EATX compatible test bench if you need to open it a lot

why do you need to access the PCIE ports so much

[full fossil]

I work on PCIe protocol compliance.

[covert nimbus]

ah makes sense

https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-masterframe-700-open-air-atx/p/N82E16811119417?Description=open air pc case&cm_re=open_air pc case-_-11-119-417-_-Product

something like this seems appropriate

[full fossil]

I basically want something that can host a MB with the form factor I specified.

[covert nimbus]

but yeah i just want a version of the North with the same features as my define

[full fossil]

I'm really looking for something I can sell me work.

[covert nimbus]

IE 8 HDD bays a 5.25 bay would be nice

[full fossil]

😦

[velvet marsh]

5.25 bays are basically dead

[covert nimbus]

i still use it for legacy stuff and MDisc cold storage

[full fossil]

I really want an ARM server but that's beyond my pay grade lmao

[covert nimbus]

but i can use an external the once every 3 or 4 months i need one

so its not a big deal

[full fossil]

i mean an arm sbsa server

[manic torrent]

That's a specialised case these days

My gaming PC has no drives at all, only m.2

[covert nimbus]

ill probably be using spinning rust until SSDs reach price per TB parity with HDDs

i have 4 tb of SSD storage the other 52 tb is HDD

[wanton glade]

💀

wait till they release something better than nvme gen 7, and hten that should do it

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ_3g2hUCn4

[velvet marsh]

I'm at 6tb of nvme and 76tb of hdd lol

well 76 useable

[full fossil]

its not

[full fossil]

is good rule

[full fossil]

this is dumb

[covert nimbus]

how so? i have cloud if my apt burns down

[wanton glade]

course it is

[manic torrent]

I still have spinning drives, but for my surveillance

[full fossil]

ok

ur cloud is literally a back up

aka one of the three

gen 6 isn't even in testing

[wanton glade]

skill issue

[covert nimbus]

pulling from HDDs of another computer will take just as much time as pulling from a NAS in my house

so i dont see the point of the NAS

[wanton glade]

mf wants ssd to have the same price as hdds, prepare to wait 20 years bro

[full fossil]

2 maybe

no there just isn't any tech that is certifying devices at gen 6 yet

why are you even talking about gen 7? it doesn't make sense.

[manic torrent]

Because he's a dumb kid

[wanton glade]

2 decades yes

[full fossil]

ok

[manic torrent]

Don't try to make sense of it

[wanton glade]

lmao

[covert nimbus]

i hate the form factor of M.2 we need a SATA replacement for desktop ;_;

[full fossil]

i see this time is a garbage time to walk into ltt discord so ima walk out lol

[wanton glade]

It was a joke bro chill wtf

[vapid smelt]

1 HUGE case with your main pc and drives < 1 small normal case with a nas in the closet

[covert nimbus]

y though

[full fossil]

yeah bro

[wanton glade]

why would you put a nas in your closet

[wanton glade]

you really thought I was serious 💀

[vapid smelt]

ltt does it why not

[covert nimbus]

i have 1 actual work PC my laptop i just remote to that if i need to do work mobile

[wanton glade]

because you won't want a spider to crawl inside your drives

[full fossil]

💀

[wanton glade]

💀 💀

[covert nimbus]

everything else i own is basically a terminal to that one PC

so what is the point of the NAS if i can fit the drives in the workstation?

[vapid smelt]

so you can get the new case you wanted

[covert nimbus]

im not going to add an entire PC to my life just to hold HDDs

so i can pick a better looking case

thats dumb

[manic torrent]

It really isn't

Noise, heat, weight

[covert nimbus]

i really only see disadvantages

noise isnt a problem

weight? im not moving it

[jaunty compass]

I just remembered I have a b450 board sitting in my room I have literally never used

[covert nimbus]

heat?

who cares its well within spec

[jaunty compass]

I got it for free and don't have any AMD CPUs so I just forgot I had it

[manic torrent]

Look why don't you just use old cardboard boxes as a case

[vapid smelt]

r5 5600g is cheap

[manic torrent]

I'm only seeing upsides

[jaunty compass]

I should get an apu on eBay and turn it into a living room emulation system or something

[covert nimbus]

because it lives on my desk and that would be ugly

• i own a cat

[velvet marsh]

Just make your own case

[manic torrent]

You don't own a cat, you live with a cat 😉

[covert nimbus]

would be uglier than the minifridge i already own

im interested in the North because it looks nice

not because i NEED a new case

Define R5 isnt a looker but it does the job

https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/north/north/charcoal-black/

this however

AESTHETIC

I wish cases wernt 100% glass

My antec case my server is in cools super well

[covert nimbus]

that doesnt look any nicer than what i have

[rustic crown]

Has a mesh front with dual 120mm

[covert nimbus]

i hate clear side panels

looks tacky

and shows dust

i really do like the mesh panel option on the North

have a fan pulling air from outside directly over the GPUs

👍

IDK why most newer cases dont have side fan options with how hungry modern GPUs are

i have x2 3090s i use for AI shit and before that 2 Vega 64s

that side vent is nice to have

[rustic crown]

My servers side fan cools its hd 6450 passive

Cpu maxes at 35c gpu maxes at 42

[covert nimbus]

my TR gets a bit hot on the NH-U14S

[manic torrent]

.... If you don't want a glass case, don't buy one. Ezpz

[rustic crown]

Good luck finding them

[manic torrent]

It's.... Not that hard.

[rustic crown]

Have you tried to find a case with a 5.25 in bay

[tough lance]

dark base pro 900

[manic torrent]

No, because it's 2022

[tough lance]

also available in solid panel

[rustic crown]

mine has a muti card reader in it

Idk how people work without one

Also a hotswap bay

[covert nimbus]

they basically dont exist anymore

[manic torrent]

They look tacky hey?

[covert nimbus]

only cheap things with old tooling still have 5.25

[manic torrent]

What are you hotswapping

[rustic crown]

Hdds

I need to wipe them and format a lot

[rustic crown]

How many of those are current

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8qFbt6/fractal-design-pop-xl-air-atx-full-tower-case-fd-c-por1x-06

And even have usb 3

[tough lance]

o11s have 5.25 bays?

[rustic crown]

Has 0

[tough lance]

psu shroud

[vapid smelt]

?

[manic torrent]

No, just apparently looks "tacky"

[covert nimbus]

ill probably end up building USB HDD enclosure into my desk next time i change cases

[manic torrent]

That is a much better idea

[rustic crown]

You would need to remove the hdds to use it

that's a dq

or riveting some under the PSU shroud
