please dont speak to me if you use mountain standard time

[fossil frost]

if its the best timezone, why does it need an offset from the perfect timezone? 😄

[full fossil]

It's bizarre to think that, this is the last day of the year

The Gigabyte Vision 30 series cards almost look perfect I just don't like how that one chunk towards the back dips down

[full fossil]

i just got a 3070 ti gigabyte gaming oc

yesterday

480$

[full fossil]

I absolutely love the look of them

[idle skiff]

I love the look just that little divot irks me I wish to stayed full height all the way across

If you get 3070 of below it has a clean flush look tho so

Honestly if I upgrade next year it'll be to high end 30 low end 40 series

/or amd equivalent

[full fossil]

amd

[glacial ibex]

dont forget about intel GPUs...

[idle skiff]

Hey hey I said /or amd I'm open to them I just understand the power brackets of RTX easier

[full fossil]

ah

[idle skiff]

I couldn't tell you what the AMD equiv of a 3070ti is off the top of my head

Lol it's 6000 something or another

Does anyone know of a camera that is decent(as a webcam)?

All webcam cameras I look at feel like the same thing

droidcam is very nice

[vapid smelt]

@onyx basin why are you grey

[languid falcon]

I wonder if I can do it without installing software with a google pixel

[onyx basin]

its a blank profile picture, why?

[languid falcon]

[vapid smelt]

It's just boring

[onyx basin]

i can make my name that too

How do you figure out how much alcohol is too much alcohol for you

[languid falcon]

Any alcohol is too much alcohol

[onyx basin]

nope!

is 2% too much alcohol?

[full fossil]

What's going on with you brother?

[sweet jetty]

discord.gift/Udzwm3hrQECQBnEEFFCEwdSq

[full fossil]

not enough :V

[onyx basin]

100% is nothing¨

[languid falcon]

According to bill gates's study: "It found that for young adults between the ages of 15 and 39, there were zero health benefits—only risks—associated with drinking alcohol"

[onyx basin]

i drink alcohol

[sweet jetty]

... obviously

[full fossil]

Well it was never established that alcohol provided health benefits, it's mainly for the experience

[sweet jetty]

Except wine

[fossil frost]

which is exactly what he was looking at finding... all studies like that are biased based on what the opinions are of the patron of the study

[sweet jetty]

I think it's a fact that it helps with heart

[onyx basin]

wtf was that text

[full fossil]

Alcohol? Or wine?

Wine

[onyx basin]

alcohol

[languid falcon]

"People under the age of 40 start risking their health if they consume any more than two teaspoons of wine or two and a half tablespoons of beer per day, a new study suggests."

that sounds circuitious

[languid falcon]

Twitch stream where twitch chat controls the robot to clean/ make a bigger mess.

[tidal glade]

why not just have a good idea

hmm okay i'm interested

[languid falcon]

and you time how long it takes them to clean up

[tidal glade]

will the robot be given a silly name

[languid falcon]

yes and it will have a flame thrower + pressure washer

it will be not in the house obviously

in a set a bit aways

New years resolution: UHDR 4k

[languid falcon]

Go big or go home: UHDR 8k

[full fossil]

new years resolution: 4K 144HZ

[vapid smelt]

To bady the 4090 doesn't support that

[full fossil]

it does with dsc

i said 144 not 240

[vapid smelt]

But dp 1.4a only does 4k 120hz

[full fossil]

ah

my mistake

[vapid smelt]

Needs black magic shit cable shit to do 144hz

[full fossil]

so my 1660ti can do that

[soft musk]

Mine is 1920x1080

[full fossil]

@vapid smelt mfw a 4090 doesnt have a higher dp standard than my 1660ti

[languid falcon]

I love the no updated HDMI standard on a high tier graphics card like the 4090

[vapid smelt]

Gotta save money

[full fossil]

lmao

an a380 has better ports than a 4090 💀

[kindred coral]

Happy new year everyone! I'm im 2023 too!

[full fossil]

i have 7 1/2 hours :P

I am just working with my 6950

Only thing I wished was that the 6950 had a bit more vram

[full fossil]

dead nostalgia body faces

[kindred coral]

You still living in past! Such an American! Aren't you?

[full fossil]

yep :P

[kindred coral]

Ohh good guess from me haha

[full fossil]

midwest for me

[languid falcon]

Imagine if the 6950 has 20GB Gddr6

[full fossil]

the 7900xtx has 24gb

[languid falcon]

Yes and I will probs never upgrade til next gen

ima wait for the 9000 series

[full fossil]

damn

[languid falcon]

ohh maybe I will swap to liquid cooling

[tidal glade]

an a770 has 16 gb of vram for like, no damn money at all

just add that into a system with a 6800 xt and use it as your big huge giant video decoder

[languid falcon]

oh speaking of which

[tidal glade]

sandwhich?

[languid falcon]

If I use an iGPU can I use a GPU as a video editing device?

[tidal glade]

yes lol

[languid falcon]

ok asking for my dad who I gifted a computer that for some reason defaulted to the iGPU instead of the gpu for the default one used

[lament crystal]

What's everyone's new years resolutions?

[soft musk]

1920x1080@240hz

[lament crystal]

Same

[tidal glade]

1920x1200

(crosses arms WUXGAly)

[languid falcon]

wait I lied its 2560 x 1440 @165Hz

[soft musk]

Me too, I have multiple monitors (1080p@60hz, 1080p@240hz, 1080p@240hz, 1440p@165hz) but my main/middle monitor is one of the 1080p240hz

[languid falcon]

Maybe I will clean up my bookshelf desk

[dusky patrol]

Don't make those because I never follow them lol

[lyric plinth]

I wish for new ram

[lament crystal]

It was a joke about monitor resolution

[vapid smelt]

I wish for reasonable gpu prices

[dusky patrol]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 way over my head wooooow

[lament crystal]

Are they not somewhat reasonable now?

[languid falcon]

Imagine if NVIDIA and AMD both started to give the gpus of previous gen away for free

[full fossil]

HA!

[full fossil]

not gonna happen

[languid falcon]

If noone buys a 4080 it will

[vapid smelt]

$1200 for a 4080? When the 3080 was 699

[languid falcon]

I bet xD

[full fossil]

heh

[fossil frost]

they went from reasonable, to fucking insane, and now have dropped to slightly insane.... but everyone seems to think that these prices are "reasonable" now, because they arent "fucking insane"

[lyric plinth]

That's the Nvidia effect right there

[soft musk]

used gpus are pretty cheap rn, I tried selling my old RX6800 and the best offer i got was 300€ (Thats pretty low considering it still has warranty for around 9 months and i also paid 779 for it)

[lament crystal]

Tbh I don't follow high-end pricing since I'll never afford it anyway

[full fossil]

msrp nearly doubled in a single generation

[lyric plinth]

The "let's price gouge GPUs to shit and see how much we can get away with" effect

[full fossil]

thats called having a massive mindshare

[languid falcon]

what about a buy 1 get 1 free offer for 4080?

[lyric plinth]

The scalpers and COVID effect as well, it's affected a lot of companies besides Nvidia

[full fossil]

never gonna happen

[livid arrow]

Just buy an ARC 🤪

[full fossil]

arc isnt competitive yet

[languid falcon]

Scalpers gotta just get a job scalping should be illegal

[fossil frost]

scalping being made illegal, essentially makes capitalism illegal

[livid arrow]

I was joking. Although ARC is the same price that I paid for my 8GB RX580 five years ago, and that was when they were hard to find due to crypto mining. It's insane what prices are now

[languid falcon]

There should be something done to prevent someone from buying a non necessity like electronics and selling it for over $100 extra compared to MSRP

especially when they are using bots to do it

Should be 1 gpu per valid drivers license allowed per shop

[full fossil]

what we need is more chip production xP not consumption reduction

[livid arrow]

There will always be shortages. I remember when people had to sign up on a waiting list to get a 14.4k baud modem from Best Buy.

[lyric plinth]

More chip production will just increase the price anyways so we all get fucked in the end

[languid falcon]

More chip production means less room for improvement in later generations

because there is a limited amount of silicon

[full fossil]

more = cheaper xP

[lyric plinth]

🗿

[languid falcon]

more = more for scalpers to buy

[fossil frost]

more chip production means artificially increasing supply, which reduces demand, which reduces prices, which reduces profitability for publicly traded companies. something that publicly traded companies are legally prohibited from doing. they are legally required to maximise return for their investors

[languid falcon]

they need to prevent more than 1 order per house in some way

[livid arrow]

I'm kind of surprised that prices haven't come down more now that ETH mining isn't a thing. Last year a coworker offered by buy my 4 year old GPU for what I paid for it. I regret not taking him up on it 😛

[lyric plinth]

They do that but it doesn't work

[full fossil]

30% of earth is silicon xD

[lyric plinth]

Best buy put in this fancy bot prevention in place and it didn't do shit

[languid falcon]

Force people to put in their driver's license that will fix the issue

[livid arrow]

Didn't BB try something like that for the Playstation, where you had to buy a $200 annual membership in order to be put on the list to buy a Playstation?

[lyric plinth]

That probably wouldn't work either

[languid falcon]

And/or start reporting people who buy more than 1 to the IRS

get the IRS on the scalpers to make them pay taxes

that will also fix the issue

[lyric plinth]

You really think the government gives a single shit about people overpricing GPUs and reselling them?

[languid falcon]

yes

its taxable income

[livid arrow]

Who says that they aren't paying taxes? Another coworker (not the one who mined and wanted my GPU) has a wife who buys up things in stores that are hot commodities and resells them on ebay. She was really into doing that with some fashion clothing of some sort. They did it as a business, though, and paid taxes on it.

[languid falcon]

I mean I am assuming they don't because of how many of the gpus are being bought up by shady people

[livid arrow]

I also don't think that the IRS is going to care about going after somebody for making $300 reselling a GPU unless they are already investigating them for something else and just want to make their lives more miserable

[indigo plume]

youtube making more bad changes lmao

[full fossil]

idk what u on about, but if someone can re-sell gpu for higher price, it means they bought everything out, which means they dont meet the demand xD limiting people from buying is ridiculous, its like refusing to make more money lol

[indigo plume]

if you swear in first 10 seconds of video instantly gets demonetized and if you play game that has gore you can get video demonitized

what is youtube doing

[cosmic wyvern]

Guess who's up.

Fireworks woke me up

[languid falcon]

Easy fix do what trailers do and do a short trailer in front of the actual video with censored words

make them entertained for 20 secs

[livid arrow]

LOL. Reminds me of an old tv show or movie (I forget what it was) where there was a 5 second profanity delay so the person said "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge" and dragged it out for more than 5 seconds, just to prove a point.

[languid falcon]

and do a cliffhanger

make them want to watch the video

[indigo plume]

so how exaclty do they get past get demontized for playing a game with gore

like some ppl just cant play certain games lmao if it a gaming channel

[full fossil]

they trying really hard to get replaced by different platform xP

[languid falcon]

You blur the entire thing and say "you have to follow me on patrion for the full uncensored clip"

[indigo plume]

impossible

they know they wont

[full fossil]

lol, its always impossible until someone does it :V

[indigo plume]

It would have to be a company with alot of money

[livid arrow]

Coming in 2023, LinusTube

[indigo plume]

cuz just think about how manyu videos are on youtube

[full fossil]

money doesn't make good products,
smart people with motivation do :V

[livid arrow]

Money pays for the servers, support, licenses, bandwidth, etc, though

[indigo plume]

[hexed plover]

iPhone | Android
🍎 | 🇬

[full fossil]

just off google play services and all google related software

like apple isn't also tracking everything you do

[valid siren]

Google - no privacy
Apple - no control
Both suck, it’s whichever you dislike less.

[full fossil]

again u can degoogle ur android

[kindred coral]

[full fossil]

use alternatives

[kindred coral]

Omg I'm going to sleep and hearing this befoee my sleep, omg

[valid siren]

Also this is incredibly naive

[kindred coral]

That's why I'm laughing so hard rn

[valid siren]

They don’t use google ad services because they have their own advertising platform.

They’re not not harvesting data, it’s just going to someone other than google

[kindred coral]

Well good night everyone

Goboll, yep, agreeing with your fact

[valid siren]

So pick your poison

[full fossil]

turn off all google services or chnage the os on android and u are a free man

also remove apps with heavy trackers

[valid siren]

So modify parts of the OS.
And there’s something you can’t do with Apple. Other thing with iPhones is no emulators, which really sucks.

[full fossil]

if you use a stable jailbreak and all the tweaks are not malicious then you have a much greater control of the iphone

[small bolt]

Both. I'm buying an iphone later this year but I also have several midrange Androids.

And I do have some experience with ios via the iPod touch 5th gen which is severely limited

My last 3 phones have been Motorolas

I don't recommend spending more than a couple hundred on a Motorola though because you're only gonna get a couple of years out of the stock ROM before it stops getting updates

I think if I get another android it'll be a Zenfone

Maybe Xperia

[full fossil]

you say what I said was dumb but then say something that agrees with it ??

that's what I said

[manic torrent]

tenbux

[full fossil]

honestly though I've stopped caring

like actually what are they going to do? send me targeted ads? that's what I get for using something that's free

you're using discord right now lol

[small bolt]

The issue isn't that they send you targeted ads, it's that they sell your data to every advertising firm on the planet

[full fossil]

ok and?

[small bolt]

The more companies that have your data, the more susceptible you are to being hacked or otherwise harmed by way of a data breach

[full fossil]

define "my data"

[small bolt]

Could be literally anything. Your search history down to your phone number.

[full fossil]

why would knowing what apps I use etc make me more likely to get hacked

[small bolt]

If someone knows enough about your life and what services you use it's easier to perform social engineering attacks, depending on how secure your accounts are.

[full fossil]

all my passwords are autogenerated and I have a very good password on the manager

also what kind of social engineering

what are they going to do send me a phishing email

[small bolt]

Alright, you're pretty low risk then. Not everyone is security conscious though.

[full fossil]

I did try to be very careful with tracking and stuff but I just found it too inconvenient

[small bolt]

Really there are always trade-offs between convenience and privacy/security, and you just have to find your happy medium. For some people, using privacy enhancing browser add-ons is enough. Other people will literally go to the extent of custom building their own OS to ensure they know exactly what's happening. Obviously the latter is an extreme case but I have heard of it happening. Most people probably fall in the middle.

like I really do not need to become opsec god

I am not the dread pirate roberts

[small bolt]

Do as you wish then. Pun intended.

[full fossil]

good one

[summer cosmos]

is there still problems with the 4080? cables burning?

[graceful burrow]

if you plug em in improperly, yes

[summer cosmos]

man im questionin if i should get it

[magic crown]

pretty bad deal

[timid meadow]

Its often super subtle stuff. Most people use stuff thats easy to remember as their password. So casual conversation can turn someone unintentionally giving out just enough personal info for someone to start guessing a password

Or the recovery info for that password (street you grew up on, pets names, etc)

[hollow pulsar]

Oh that’s easy for me. The answers literally have nothing to do with the question. Good luck guessing mine. Lol

What street did you grow up on? Scuttlebut
Mother’s maiden last name?
$$dolladollayo

[full fossil]

nice

[hollow pulsar]

Muscle-memory passwords are interesting… commit them to muscle memory, but cant remember how to spell it out.

[finite cloud]

I set mine to stupid answers and I forgot what they were. But if I don’t know mine then the hackers won’t either

[hollow pulsar]

Lol.

[pine bane]

Ah my favorite ingredient

[full fossil]

I don't really have any important accounts lol

[pine bane]

Well this year we will finally get apple glass… maybe…

Who knows

[full fossil]

most important thing is probably my steam account xd

everything else is trivially replaceable

[wary summit]

I love taobao

[graceful burrow]

hi

[golden breach]

Happy New Year

[shrewd tendon]

I need that, I love that show

[full fossil]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

LTT public chat was dead for over an hour? oh my goodness

Happy NY

[manic torrent]

Secret questions are insecure AF and should not be used anymore

[finite cloud]

Agreed. TFA should be standard

[manic torrent]

Risk based MFA.

And if you are a rando bullshit website like www.onespecificproduct.com, use a library which allows logins using other services. That way you outsource the entire thing

And if you are an organisation, absolutely everything should be federated login.

[shut oxide]

any indonesians here? i need help

[forest meadow]

HNY everyone!

[shell pollen]

Hey, it’s been a while but I’m helping out a friend with his build. Can someone remind me why everyone hates the 980 pros?

[vapid smelt]

the value sucks

[shell pollen]

What about it tho?

Is it just too expensive?

[vapid smelt]

yup

[shell pollen]

Ok thanks, my friends put 8tb worth of it and it just feels so wrong

[vapid smelt]

....

[small zephyr]

🤨I'm never getting the SSD craze as boot drive okay but I rather have a couple seconds longer loading times as spending way more on the SSD in reasonable size

Why buy a 1tb SSD for 100bucks if I get 4tb HDD for it

[neon mesa]

I'm dutch but i am able to speak indonesian if that can help lel

[neon mesa]

It's like drug, you don't try, you don't know

[shut oxide]

lol, I appreciate duch people helping indonesians. happened in another server although filled with mostly dutch people

[neon mesa]

I used to think ssd not worth it
Until i got one

[small zephyr]

I have an ssd

[vapid smelt]

i only use nvme ssds

[neon mesa]

And i had 3 HDD die in a year
Then i fow to never buy HDDs

[small zephyr]

And the weirds suggestions of all: put an ssd on an PS3 or ps4

[shut oxide]

@neon mesa would you kindly help filling my questionnaire for my thesis? it'll only take around 2 minutes https://forms.office.com/r/w9krVAhfBP

[small zephyr]

It doesn't do much on em

[neon mesa]

Sure

[small zephyr]

Like you get depending on the game a couple of seconds

Only game I know on PC at least that's really needing an SSD is FFXV makes the game another but that's it

For me an SSD is kinda like an nice to have instead of a must have

[neon mesa]

GTA V

You'll get sick of the loading screen

[small zephyr]

It's like buying an rtx 4090 even through an 3070 would be more than enough to get an nice gaming experience

[neon mesa]

And you don't want a hard drive

[small zephyr]

Nah that game is just cancer no matter what storage

[neon mesa]

I rather use SSDs still

More reliable, and doesn't look ugly

[small zephyr]

It's like sword art online alicisation lycoris welp at least they kinda made it a bit better but loading 5minutes or loading 4.30minutes

[neon mesa]

And i don't need mountings for SSDs

[small zephyr]

Nah SSDs are not more reliable

[neon mesa]

Tape it up

SSDs are definitely more reliable
It's literally one of the selling points of SSDs

[small zephyr]

One of my drives is from 2007

[neon mesa]

No moving part, virtually immune of vibrations

Exceptions don't make the rule

[small zephyr]

An SSD won't hold that long

[vapid smelt]

and slow as fuck

[small zephyr]

Nah it's kinda okay tho

[neon mesa]

SSDs will last that long

[small zephyr]

Not if you use em heavily

[neon mesa]

SSDs life cycle is dictated by write cycle not length of time

Modern SSDs have write cycles virtually infinite

Even if you write 1TB a day it'll take over a decade

[vapid smelt]

you can drop a ssd but not a hdd

[neon mesa]

Laptops with HDD when you stare at it:

[small zephyr]

Well always depends on the SSD and if you don't want to sell a kidney to get enough space to get rid of that fucking uninstall download new games bullshit it's most likely chinese SSD which can have worse performance as hdds

[neon mesa]

500GB SSDs are only 40 bucks

[vapid smelt]

$100 for a name brand 2tb ssd

[small zephyr]

Don't drop your hardware in the first place?are you called Linus or what

[small zephyr]

Not here

100bucks for 1tb

[neon mesa]

I had 3 HDDs die in a year
In that same time my NVMe drive is still going to this day

[small zephyr]

2tb SSDs start at 200 around here

[neon mesa]

HDDs gonna get obsolete even in price/gb sooner or later

Transistors are simply more scalable than a physical platter

Like HDDs capacity have stagnated

For quite a while

[small zephyr]

Even with your prices there 4tb HDD is 90bucks

[neon mesa]

Unless you wanna use shitty slow SMR drives

[small zephyr]

And barracudas are great

[vapid smelt]

but slow

[small zephyr]

What does it matter if it's a fraction of the cost?

Giving me 5 seconds faster loading time won't make me a better gamer

I only accept over spending on peripherals cuz that can make you a better gamer

[neon mesa]

When you need to reverify a 100GB game

[small zephyr]

I don't repair games when the get corrupted I redownload em

[vapid smelt]

when your hdd is bottle necking your download of new game

[small zephyr]

I get 1gb download speeds

[neon mesa]

Only a mouse matters

[small zephyr]

Keyboard as well as monitor

[neon mesa]

Unless the keyboard is shit enough to have shitty nkro it doesn't matter

[small zephyr]

Nope it does matter

[neon mesa]

So does monitors

It's more like coping bad skills blaming on peripherals

The 1ms faster button press doesn't matter on a keyboard

[small zephyr]

Nothing is as bad as an mechanical keyboard with switches that could be pressed by feathers

[neon mesa]

You can't dominate on a shitty mouse because the sensors are inaccurate
But a keyboard output is literally binary, it doesn't matter

[small zephyr]

I like to push my buttons down and not slightly touch em

[neon mesa]

It's like buying gold plated HDMI

Office workers regularly pull 140WPM on $10 office keyboards
It literally doesn't matter

Mouse is like the single biggest impact for a peripheral

[small zephyr]

It does like I literally had one keyboard where the slightest touch registered as a input

[neon mesa]

Only "pricy" keyboard does that

Any normal keyboard works like you expect

[small zephyr]

Nah it was low budget sharkoon with Kalin reds

[neon mesa]

Don't buy budget mechanicals

Just buy membrane

[small zephyr]

Nah buy em depending on the one you get they may be better as high priced ones

My womier wk61 costs 48bucks and it's hotswappable

[neon mesa]

Price on a keyboard literally doesn't matter
It just depends on what you pick

The original point was justifying overspending on keyboard because it makes you "better"

[small zephyr]

12bucks for a set of outemou greens and it's the perfect key oard

[neon mesa]

When a 10 bucks one does well already

[small zephyr]

Well if I must choose between an 200bucks and a 10bucks keyboard I rather get the 200bucks one

[neon mesa]

Spend any amount on whatever
But if the justification is "to be better gamer" it's bollocks

[small zephyr]

Cheap keyboards just suck an feel like shit I swear when my old keyboard broke and I was forced to use such garbage keyboard it was the worst

[neon mesa]

Logitech K120

It's not the price, it's just what you pick

Some $10 boards are better than $60 ones

[small zephyr]

Well it's fact that most gamer like they keyboard rather klickey as mushy

Membrane suck

[neon mesa]

Reminds me of that streamer with some expensive razer keyboard getting dunked on by a random

[small zephyr]

Worst is "mecha feel" tho

[neon mesa]

Probably using some shitty keyboard

[small zephyr]

Razer keyboards sucks anyways

[neon mesa]

You can overspend on a keyboard or whatever
But i call bullshit when the justification is to "be better gamer"
It's more like coping on bad skills

[small zephyr]

My 48bucks keyboard has a higher build quality as the 250 optic mechanic Razer keyboard

Well use a ten buck keyboard

It's build quality is bad like really bad and playing with something that feels bad just sucks

[marsh mortar]

I change my pfp a lot like everyday, how can I become normal and not changing it a lot ?

[small zephyr]

Don't you Remember the olden console time for example where you was fucked when you got the 3rd party controller because they were way cheaper

Lmao just stop changeing it then xD

[polar fern]

The idea of “hand crafted” beverages. Yes, the intricately woven and carved smoothie, with leather carry strap. 👍

[small zephyr]

Fuck you honer/Huawei's autocorrection

[polar fern]

Autocarrot

[small zephyr]

It doesn't make sense sometimes

Like how did it make remember to Renner with it being de activated

[polar fern]

There’s two levels

[small zephyr]

It's completely turned off I unchecked especially the auto completion

[polar fern]

There’s a base level of autocarrot & more noticeable autocarrot. Then there’s predictive text.

[small zephyr]

Welp it's 5am I should sleep for a bit, and I checked every setting and made sure it's off

[polar fern]

Nite

[full fossil]

@vapid smelt i am eating cheese

[polar fern]

Fromage de lait

[full fossil]

cheese with jelly toast

[polar fern]

Jelly?! 😬

[neon mesa]

Try logitech k120

[full fossil]

i like toast with jelly on it

[twin raptor]

A good use of time, I was just partaking of similar sustenance

[polar fern]

Not jam?!

[neon mesa]

$10 and feels better than my brother's "gaming" keyboard that costs triple

[small zephyr]

Yeez it's 5 am when do they stop throwing the loud fire crackers

[full fossil]

too much added sugar

[polar fern]

NEW YERSSSSSZZZ

[full fossil]

yes

[polar fern]

Added…. Sugar?!

[neon mesa]

I want a keyboard upgrade
But simply because i want better looking ones
But functionally it's great

[polar fern]

Jelly is just fruit juice & sugar

[small zephyr]

I swear next year I go to sleep before it starts 😂 ain't no fun to get hit multiple times by rockets in your face

[polar fern]

@small zephyr incoming!!! 🧨

[small zephyr]

Nah jelly should contain gelatine or it won't solidify

[polar fern]

😲

[twin raptor]

Happened at my grad party lol

[small zephyr]

I was 10minutes outside and got hit by 5 rockets

I was glad I didn't have anything made from polyester

[twin raptor]

Oof i only got hit by 1

[small zephyr]

And I got some burns on my left hand where a rocket hit directly

[polar fern]

I prefer preserves

[twin raptor]

My eyelashes got fizzled lol

[polar fern]

50 eye lashes

[small zephyr]

These idiots seem to unlearn using em in the 2 years they were banned

[twin raptor]

Looked stupid for weeks

[polar fern]

I’ve scorched hair off my face. It’s fine

[small zephyr]

Like one dick placed a battery on its side and lit it

It hit so many ppl the firetruck sprayed it with water and that dude got arrested too since it definly was deliberate an battery this big is clearly visible how to place it

[livid belfry]

Happy New Year everyone may it be happy and fruitful for all!

[small zephyr]

Worst of all I could not shower since my roommates sleep and now I smell like sulphur

[twin raptor]

Lol

[polar fern]

Los Angeles authorities asked residents to refrain from doing their own fireworks in 2020.

[small zephyr]

In the last 2 years it was banned

[polar fern]

The result?

Yes that’s real

[small zephyr]

The hospitals were already filled with Corona and dicks who blow their hands of because they buy illegal unsafe fireworks from polen because they are "louder" would be bad in that case

[polar fern]

Oops

[neon mesa]

The moment when you realize the residue don't just poof into a black hole

[small zephyr]

🤔I was one year in Amsterdam on new year dang the residues were absurd

There were some streets where the firecracker residues were literally knee deep

[polar fern]

Yeah they didn’t want hospitals inundated with fireworks accident folks on top of Covid

[small zephyr]

Like you could swimm in the residues

[severe pine]

Going to bed on time so I enter 2023 unconscious

[polar fern]

Mhm

See ya

[small zephyr]

Welp now the boom seems to have stopped trying again to sleep

[polar fern]

Nite

[small zephyr]

Bye ^^

[neon mesa]

Be that one guy with the 1ton firework rocket

[paper otter]

Hope everyone has a nice New Year!

[warm glacier]

Thanks you too

[polar fern]

We used to launch srs fireworks

Unlike some folk our antics drew the whole street to watch.

We handed out boxes of snaps

[sonic spruce]

I have a gtx 960, how do I test that with a 300 watt psu????

I just need to make sure it works, not use it for gaming

[warm glacier]

what keyboard is that?

[manic torrent]

Keychron k8

[warm glacier]

zamn

pretty good on cost too as far as good gear goes

81 to 100$

[manic torrent]

Oh it's amazing bfyb

[sonic spruce]

Not possible????!

[manic torrent]

I am going to replace it with an addressable RGB board

[warm glacier]

do you game or is it just the one you got for everything

[manic torrent]

Of course it is, plug it in

[manic torrent]

I game, but I have like... 5-6 other keyboards

[sonic spruce]

Psu doesn’t have a 6 or 8 pin, can I just use the pci slot to power it for long enough to just make sure it works???

[warm glacier]

can you send pics if its not to hard? If you run that rn it makes me curious to see your previous ones

[manic torrent]

Molex to 6/8 pin

[sonic spruce]

Don’t have

[warm glacier]

wait how did you post these here?

[manic torrent]

I don't think I have many handy, but I have a das keyboard, a model m, a keychron k1, an rk87, a ducky shining 1

[sonic barn]

[warm glacier]

thats cool asf

[sonic spruce]

I think my old psu works maybe, so I’ll try that

[manic torrent]

Because floatplane. Makes me special

good to know

[brazen tendon]

yesterday at my school we were asked to write our new year resolutions on a piece of paper shaped like a object

everyone made pencils and whatever they wanted

I made a threadripper cpu instead

[manic torrent]

I would have shaped mine like a piece of paper

[warm glacier]

😭

[manic torrent]

Next year I hope to have less inane school activities

Whichever

It has been multiple decades since I was in school though.

Happy new year to est gang

[fluid ridge]

9pm here

the last 2022 of our lives is slipping away

[warm glacier]

HAPPY NEWYEAR

[neon mesa]

I'm already 12 hours in

[warm glacier]

5 minutes ago

lmao sorry

[sonic barn]

7min ago

[formal wyvern]

HAPPY NEW YEAR
i broke a wooden spoon in half banging it on a pot

[neon mesa]

One reason why we need to all just have one universal time

Timezones are dumb

[sonic barn]

UTC

[formal wyvern]

i disagree

[warm glacier]

I LIKE YOUR ENERGY HAPPY NEWYEAR

[sonic barn]

I agree timezones are dumb

[neon mesa]

There's no reason to need 12 o clock be noon/midnight

3AM can easily be the midnight

[sonic barn]

12pm could be 1pm

[formal wyvern]

i mean my sleep schedule is PST but I live in EST

[sonic barn]

Yeah

[formal wyvern]

so do agree to that part

[neon mesa]

When i moved oversea i kept my european clock and can still easily live

[warm glacier]

i live in est

[neon mesa]

Even if midnight is 7PM

[warm glacier]

ive got a normal sleep skedg

[sonic barn]

I prefer 24hr time format

My sleep schedule is bad

[warm glacier]

u too jaggi

[idle skiff]

I can't recommend 2023 yet

[full fossil]

Happy New Years everyone wishing everyone many blessings this year!

[idle skiff]

Hold off on the update if you can, 2022 was at least functional and didn't crash every 5 minutes. The devs really screwed this one up

[neon mesa]

2022 was nice

The year everyone can finally get a GPU

After 2020 and 2021 was grim

[idle skiff]

hopefully

[neon mesa]

Hopefully? Many already got their hands on one

[sonic barn]

2023 year of inflation

[timid meadow]

I got my hands on one, but i wouldnt mind something better

[sonic barn]

We'll see +7% interest rates

Fednow should roll out too later in 2023

[neon mesa]

US problem

[sonic barn]

World problem

[neon mesa]

My country still stable 4% inflation

[sonic barn]

UK said they will probably default

[neon mesa]

It's european and US problem

Involving themselves too much in the war

[sonic barn]

What country you in

[neon mesa]

Especially european

Somewhere in south east asia is all I'm gonna say

[sonic barn]

You got the Russia china foreign currency alternative to USD for commodities which is not stable

[worldly aurora]

happy new year everyone

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/610339504359997460/1047762067215622244/764762706665537566.gif

[neon mesa]

Good, USD is backed by printers

[sonic spruce]

I have a gtx 960, how do I test that with a 300 watt psu????
I just need to make sure it works, not use it for gaming

[sonic barn]

Also it's not war, the reason for all this is globally

[neon mesa]

Rubles are actually stable
If it's not because the west keep spam sanctions

Because it's actually backed by gold

[graceful burrow]

You plug it into a pc and try to use it

[sonic barn]

USD governs the majority of external trade between countries

[mental mortar]

🎉

[sonic barn]

Rubbles down 70%

[neon mesa]

And countries are already looking at alternatives

[neon mesa]

You might wanna look again

Really stop overestimating the importance of these counteies

Because lives has actually been better around here than before

[sonic barn]

Still Russia has shut down their stock exchanges back in the summer

So you haven't felt any impacts

Russia controls the majority of their stocks anyways

Gazprom is like 52%

[sonic spruce]

Ight

[sonic barn]

Well 49% but probably a bit more now since external people sold
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=toxGwZzHJpw

They still own the majority

They've been paying Russia billions

Then you got the rest of the eu lying to boost up their futures market when it's never been stocked like this before

Germany owns uniper now

How

If you don't believe me check agsi it's public records

And Germany bought uniper back in september

They control the biggest eu supplier for natural gas aka biggest energy source in europe

[south coral]

Happy new year

[sonic barn]

Well I was just responding to the thing about how inflation is caused by war, it isn't

[neon mesa]

Really lives around here are getting better.
At my place at least.
Especially with covid restrictions lifted up.
Europeans are freezing from not enough gas while here even people who are broke still use AC

[sonic barn]

It's caused by corruption

[fluid ridge]

war is great for the economy

[sonic barn]

Look at agsi numbers

[fluid ridge]

during WWII the GDP of both america and canada skyrocketed

[sonic barn]

https://agsi.gie.eu/

TTF futures went from 2$ to 300$

UK natural gas was at one point 500$

150x power bills is not normal

Leave

[neon mesa]

And what does european doing shitty rn have to do with me

[sonic barn]

No it's the opposite, economies are not real fun fact

They introduced measures to get a working class

[warm glacier]

boys i finally slipped into the sweats thank god

[fluid ridge]

it boosts domestic demand and forces an all hands on deck approach causing massive output and in turn massive GDP growth, both per capita and nationally

this happened in WWII

this is why america is almost always perpetually in a state of war

[sonic barn]

You said the inflation is solely tied to Europe and USA, it's world wide. Banks in china are defaulting still. Russia locked down their economy but will soon have to resort to other means as their supplies drop due to tariffs

[fluid ridge]

the money is there my friend you just have to go look for it

[sonic barn]

CPI is the lowest it's ever been

[fluid ridge]

inflation is when i blow air into a balloon

[neon mesa]

The numbers you showed are for european countries

Their prices go up
Not my prices

I don't live there

[sonic barn]

That's not how it works

World is dictated by futures spot prices

Crude oil is the biggest contract

Is gas cheap where you are?

[neon mesa]

Cheap it is

[warm glacier]

its around 4:75 on average around here

[neon mesa]

$2.2 a gallon for 90 octane

While US price is like 3 for a shitty 87

[sonic barn]

Well if you're in Russia it's because of no one to buy it since eu barred Russia from selling

[neon mesa]

I'm not russian

And china/india been buying their oil

[sonic barn]

Well yeah because they aren't in the eu

[neon mesa]

Okay so again why does EU doing shit matters for say asians

India china enjoying cheap gas

[sonic barn]

Tarifs still apply

[neon mesa]

SEA prices are still low

Only for external products

That comes from there

[sonic barn]

I know Russia has a ton of oil though as they gotta keep pumping even if there's no demand

[neon mesa]

Prices of essential goods are low

EU doing shit
The rest of the world goes on

[minor steppe]

If they stop pumping they lose tons of jobs a large part of that economy is based around oil

[neon mesa]

Most of asian countries are mostly relying on domestic goods too

[sonic barn]

Anyways imo I'm positioned for a big recession this year

Globally

[indigo plume]

gunna undervolt my cpu when so I can run it at like 70 degrees

[fluid ridge]

cpu temperatures dont matter

[neon mesa]

I'll see you when it doesn't affect everywhere else

[indigo plume]

my room temps do

[fluid ridge]

if your cooler isn't melting then nothing is wrong

[fluid ridge]

take your shirt off

[minor steppe]

Love when a fresh install of a program is just a black screen on launch

[fluid ridge]

gpu drivers

[sonic barn]

You can't restart the rigs after you take them offline

Gotta keep oil drilling

[manic torrent]

Jokes on you, why would you be wearing one in the first place.

[fluid ridge]

[minor steppe]

@sonic barn you can slow the flow for a large part without risking that. But they're lose so many fucking jobs then. And who knows if Russia is actually able to slow the flow safley

[fluid ridge]

i wish windows would sync installed fonts

[sonic barn]

Yeah OPEC is doing that but Russia likes to keep everything profitable

[manic torrent]

Jobs are not money.

More jobs is not more better. Capitalism is pretty much the worst.

[sonic barn]

They got to finance a war and don't even have enough weapons for soldiers or even proper équipement

[sonic barn]

I hope we all see the death of capitalism this year

All we need a network of banks to default

That could come with mortgage loans and failing to repay loans

[fluid ridge]

that is never going to happen

[sonic barn]

You sure?

Did you take a look at the federal reserve

They didn't pay back bonds yet

[fluid ridge]

who cares what america does

they're like 26 trillion dollars in debt no?

im sure my boy jerome powell will just print more money

[sonic barn]

Everywhere is over 100% debt to gdp

Countries are in debt everywhere

[fluid ridge]

yeah except for canada

[sonic barn]

Our economy is well over that 100%

It's primarily debt

[fluid ridge]

ur wrong

the great white north is indebted to none

[vapid smelt]

Any cheat codes for 2023?

[fluid ridge]

sodium hydrochloride

[neon mesa]

Trinitoluene

[sonic barn]

Take out as many loans as you can and fake your death then live in a bunker for the year

[neon mesa]

Umm no mine is literally only at 30%

[sonic barn]

Then it's not big

[manic torrent]

You're a whole country?

[neon mesa]

My country of course...

It's not hard to understand the sentence

[vapid smelt]

cant be in debt if money isn't real

[neon mesa]

Especially if it's USD

Now make the tax man go away

It's just schizophrenia

Also if one big country like china falls or USA, there goes a huge player in the world economy and there'll be dominos falling where other countries will

I have an odd question

[polar fern]

Hoping to acquire one of these: https://www.edsyn.com/product/ST/951SX.html

Anyone have experience with the brand?

[full fossil]

Is it better as a manager working a formal job to speak more formally (“I must obtain a license”) or more efficiently (“I need a license”)
On one hand, formally makes you appear more confident, and competent, however it also takes longer to explain things and may annoy employees

[polar fern]

“This task requires me to have a __ license”

[full fossil]

That is not stating the intention of obtaining a license, only the need for one.

That doesn’t say I am gonna get one, just I need it

[polar fern]

“Therefore I’m going to apply for one”

[full fossil]

That is too formal for even a modern job

[polar fern]

F.. formal?

[full fossil]

Less formal statement:
Too formal

[polar fern]

-blink-

it’s not formal or informal it’s just a sentence that states facts

[full fossil]

Yes but sentences have formalities

Ima get a license
I will obtain a license

One takes longer to say, but is more professional

[polar fern]

“Gonna” is lazy

[full fossil]

Just curious, as management, how well refined your communication needs to be

[polar fern]

Use of the word “obtain” is not necessary

[full fossil]

I find it hard to say anyway

[full fossil]

It’s more refined, however

What is the balance in speech in a highly professional employment

[polar fern]

“Because this requires a license that I don’t have, I plan to apply for one”

I think you’re confusing academic linguistics with business appropriateness of word choice

[full fossil]

“I require a license” is cleaner anyways

[polar fern]

You can say things plainly and appropriately for a business environment

[full fossil]

What is the appropriate level of professionalism in speech as management in a work place, I have already asked this

[polar fern]

Most workplaces from a mechanic shop to a box folding factory to a legal office. Do not have some sort of specific set of words that you use just because you work there.

Unless it pertains specifically to your actual job

Like if you are the one who makes the folding machine measurements, then you might talk about machines and measuring machine topics and stuff, but yeah

[sonic spruce]

Does the motherboard matter for gaming???????!!!

[polar fern]

Just don’t use slang and sloppy vernacular stuff

@sonic spruce yes

The socket type, PCIe lanes and memory and a few other things are very dependent on which board you’re getting

[full fossil]

thank you

[thin kindle]

yesterday felt like it was a year ago

[polar fern]

Right?

[full fossil]

Well, I am attempting a recovery of a Petya.A infected windows 7 system, using the Dr.Web bootable recovery tool.

[manic torrent]

If you said "I must obtain " I would think that there's something wrong with you

[full fossil]

Dr.Web was unable to neutralize Petya.A

intriguing

[manic torrent]

Just say yeah I've got that in train, I'll take it on notice and confirm by email this week. I have a hard stop at 2, so I have to keep it short.

[full fossil]

I do not understand this

[manic torrent]

Modern business talk 🙂
Take it on notice - I don't have those details now I will get back to you
Hard stop - another meeting or thing I need to do at 2pm
In train - already in progress or at least scheduled.

[full fossil]

neat

[sonic spruce]

Besides socket, memory speed, and pci gen, anything else matter?

[full fossil]

io

[sonic spruce]

There’s ps2 ports unfortunately

About 4 to 6 usb 2.0 ports

Gigabit ethernet

Green and blue audio jacks

VGA and serial port

@full fossil @polar fern anything else I need to work about?

I have a gtx 960 btw

Not integrated graphics

Oh and 2 display ports

As a test board

I’m going to probably end up with something that has a better IO

[wraith sonnet]

this has got to be the worst looking gpu ever

[polar fern]

I’m not really a pc build expert.

It’s ok.

[wraith sonnet]

That's my title at work and I strongly disagree with it

[polar fern]

🤣

[covert flume]

Happy new year all, sorry its a little late

[wraith sonnet]

Although if the question was on thunderbolt at work, I might agree on it
