shout out to that time i found a random hatchet in my backyard

[full fossil]

Have you guys heard of what happened in Brazil today?

[gilded quest]

It's technically a federal offense

[jaunty compass]

probably a murder weapon lol

[fossil frost]

yesterday, and yes, its world news, literally cannot turn around without knowing about it

[gilded quest]

What happened

[graceful burrow]

Can actually

[vapid smelt]

I didn't hear about it till just now

[full fossil]

As a Brazilian, even i am impressed

[gilded quest]

I've been staring at my blank resume all day

[graceful burrow]

Does it have anything to do with tech

[jaunty compass]

nope

[graceful burrow]

Then go talk about it in #off-topic

[polar fern]

Hell I was mowing the lawn few years ago pre-pandemic & suffered from mild heat stroke because it was like 100°F out. Totally healthy & almost had to go to hospital.

[vapid smelt]

they should have planed it on the 6th like us Americans did a year or two ago

[leaden gale]

I don't know what happened

[jaunty compass]

heat stroke is no joke

[polar fern]

@full fossil 💔

[jaunty compass]

in high school I had a classmate die of heat stroke

[molten drift]

Anyone have some recommendations for a 1 out 3 in HDMI switch for a PC a Wii and a Xbox 360?

[jaunty compass]

well, for one get a wii u

[fossil frost]

a bunch of people attempted a coup... it went badly

[jaunty compass]

it has native HDMI out

[polar fern]

Yeah I was legit unwell for the next 3 days

[stray apex]

Does it even count if the government isn't there

[molten drift]

Wii u has no GameCube support

[fossil frost]

anyway.... what does have to do with tech is... LauncherOne has just been dropped by Cosmic Girl, and has successfully ignited and is on its way to space (man those names are stupid names for a rocket and a 747)

[summer folio]

Age of criminal responsibility is 15 in the nordics.
Not 0 like in most of US.

[jaunty compass]

homebrew, it has hardware support

[graceful burrow]

Virtual console

[molten drift]

Which is why I bought the Wii

[jaunty compass]

there's a program called nintendon't, it has full GC support

[graceful burrow]

480p

[molten drift]

Discs...

[jaunty compass]

again, nintendont

[graceful burrow]

Disc's are cringe tbh

[molten drift]

Ok...

[jaunty compass]

https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont

[gilded quest]

Is mail delivered by the government there?

[leaden gale]

Not officially, but it has the necessary hardware to run GC games off of USB drives with Nintendont

I prefer playing my GC games on my Wii, but it's not impossible on the Wii U, just inconvenient

[gilded quest]

Honestly just get something like this

[molten drift]

Well I literally got my Wii for 70$ and I only need it for 6 games cause it was 30$ cheaper than a GC

[polar fern]

Our bodies are very thermally sensitive. You can get hypothermia in 80°F water but heat stroke if you’re exerting yourself at 95°F air temp.

[vapid smelt]

you give me tasty Brazilian food for life and i give you American citizenship

[leaden gale]

My replacement Wii (the original had an ODD failure) was 40 bucks

[molten drift]

Cheaper and looks better than what I am returning hopefully it has auto detect.

[graceful burrow]

Wonder if this introduces any input lag

[molten drift]

I bought it in the last week.

[jaunty compass]

sadly nintendont can only play backups on the wii u, but on the original wii it can play retail discs and disc backups

[gilded quest]

In theory switches shouldn't add much latency

In practice.....idk

[polar fern]

Imagine if tech worked the way it was supposed to every time. 😲

[molten drift]

Oh crap...

Did I just lose that switch link from navy

[fossil frost]

@molten drift a kid saw me do it during covid when you were only allowed limited people in shops... and i did it down the middle aisle of asda, and the kid tried to copy and was told off by his parent, as i went skating by on my trolly 😄

[sage quiver]

If we can’t respect eachother here, perhaps we shouldn’t engage.

[gilded quest]

[molten drift]

Thank you again I'm gonna put it in my cart right now

And I don't know how to bookmark on mobile..

[manic torrent]

how good is being an adult

[fossil frost]

its one of the limited few perks 🙂

[manic torrent]

no. anything that added lag would add complexity, and they are as simple as possible.

[gilded quest]

Usually it's in the menu button

[molten drift]

I mean... I get a perk you don't get.

[manic torrent]

You get lots of perks I don't get

[molten drift]

I was today years old...

[gilded quest]

Lmao

[fossil frost]

wtf... how is that a banned word

[molten drift]

Like handicap parking!

[manic torrent]

haha, I actually have handicap parking for my son

[molten drift]

The best perk of all espically at Ikea.

Oh the parking lot is full to the brim let me just -hangs up tag and plays the story so far -

[gilded quest]

Probably because bots might spam it with links

[fossil frost]

i wonder if "melons" is a banned word

noope, its not

[sage quiver]

[molten drift]

I don't like Mellon's I'm a apple gal.

It's much more satisfying.

[karmic flame]

I would suggest not testing the bot. It tends to get angry

[vapid smelt]

it wasnt me this time

[graceful burrow]

BRB testing the bot

[karmic flame]

you were involved

[sage quiver]

Considering the ingredients.. probably not that great

[manic torrent]

suuuure

[sage quiver]

Click my main profile, they’re listed there

[molten drift]

Well then... I have to adjust my shopping list.

[fossil frost]

not so much a test, more trying to find a word that means the same thing that a AM allowed to use, rather than looking for more banned words

[graceful burrow]

Never noticed your cookie spun

[karmic flame]

so filter evasion is what you are admitting to.. i see

[sage quiver]

Not that profile

[sage quiver]

You should see it in VC

It spins when I talk

[fossil frost]

is it possible to have a copy of the filter, so i know what i have to avoid saying?

[molten drift]

I really can't wait to get the current switch returned and buy the new one

[wind pulsar]

That is hilarious

[karmic flame]

you can just ask @vapid smelt

[molten drift]

Think it would be a better or worse experience getting a third party wireless GameCube controller... Or getting a wired one and a cable extension

[vapid smelt]

ive been asking for YEARS

[graceful burrow]

Do you guys get notified when the filter is tripped

[karmic flame]

you have triggered them all.. start taking notes

[pliant karma]

I need to do the same

[fossil frost]

given that all game cube controllers are shit, i think either would be an equally bad choice

It's why I bought a Wii to play it.

[tender glade]

All good

[graceful burrow]

MOMO

[polar fern]

Think I’m just gonna go sip on a protein shake & think about what has happened today in the Linus Drop Tips Chat for a minute.

[wind pulsar]

How hard can it be to just drop things and not mention things anymore, it's been deleted like two times

[molten drift]

We had the separate pedestal version of gauntlet legends in the pizza parlor growing up I've always wanted to own one but their like 5000$ and then transporting those heavy cabinets.

[full fossil]

How much is that

[vapid smelt]

399

[molten drift]

If I had float plane membership ild post a image of the cabinet.

[full fossil]

I want an arcade machine with pac man or new suser Mario bros

[fossil frost]

Its almost like some people are attention seekers and will do anything to get the last word

[graceful burrow]

Ew arcade1up

[polar fern]

Yeah, dude that’s totally it

[wind pulsar]

Just get Nintendo Switch Online and get the totally glorious totally not nerfed Nintendo Entertainment System

[polar fern]

My NES stopped working. Im guessing it has bad caps

[graceful burrow]

Shut up and drop it already jesus

[molten drift]

It's so nice.
https://gameroomgoodies.com/products/gauntlet-legends-dark-legacy-arcade-game but that weight ...

[graceful burrow]

If I'm gettin an arcade machine I'm gettin a real one

I want a real burger time cab

[wind pulsar]

Turns out the new Final Fantasy patch comes out today instead at the 12th, so there may be a possibility I may be dead for about 72 hours

[molten drift]

It's not even the right version of the cabinet the white base one had better sound.

[wind pulsar]

I just watched that video

Old stuff's amazing from a modern view, idc what others say

[polar fern]

@molten drift what if I told you that I know a place that sells authentic real original arcade cabinet from the 1970s and 1980s which you can actually purchase?

[graceful burrow]

I wish I was dead for 72 hours (real)

[wind pulsar]

Even I don't know how to respond to this, I'm afraid

[gilded quest]

anyone here in the UK

[manic torrent]

I spent a year dead for tax purposes

[graceful burrow]

Based

[manic torrent]

I have been in the UK

[pliant karma]

same

[gilded quest]

trying to figure out a UK mcdonalds item called "Big Tasty"

[wind pulsar]

I still regularly go to the UK, lol

[polar fern]

The only thing I don’t like about that arcade place is that when we went there one time, my girlfriend’s daughter caught the flu and then my girlfriend got the flu and then her son also caught the flu. For some reason I was unaffected and had to take care of all of them.

[wind pulsar]

Oh, the bacon one?

[polar fern]

They host parties there and pretty sure they caught it at the party

[eager venture]

im bamboozled that people on discord have kids and significant others

[molten drift]

I wonder how much weight it would reduce the arcade cabinet if you swapped the 29inch crt for like a 27 inch monitor....

[summer folio]

Everything is better than being sick yourself, nice!

[wind pulsar]

The calories of the Big Tasty

[gilded quest]

whatever this is

[polar fern]

It’s almost like some of us are real people with lives and just come on here to chill out

[graceful burrow]

It wouldn't be as authentic and you know it

[wind pulsar]

882 calories OMFG

[graceful burrow]

This does not exist in the usa

[molten drift]

So a quarter pounder with tomato and swiss.

[pliant karma]

looks like that yea

[polar fern]

Yes, I would much rather take care of someone else who was sick than be sick myself. 10/10

[molten drift]

Big and tasty sauce is literally ketchup and mayo

I used to work at McDonald's in the us when we had the big n tasty

[wind pulsar]

I am not eating burgers at McDonalds, that's for sure

[summer folio]

Nono, a quarter pounder tastes different than big tasty.

[molten drift]

We had it when the Angus 3rd pounders were a thing

[gilded quest]

it doesn't

[polar fern]

Checkers big Beauford triple beef patty is the last fast food I ate on a semi regular basis

[gilded quest]

is that a lot

[molten drift]

I have worked at McDonald's when it was a thing in the us we used to use it.

[wind pulsar]

The basic recommendation is 2,000 calories for the average human per day

[polar fern]

2000 calories divided by 3 meals is 666 calories

[wind pulsar]

Someone super smol like me can gain weight after maybe 1,500 calories

[pliant karma]

Is it true that you sometimes give more mcnuggets then what is ordered? or it just by accident

[wind pulsar]

So I usually consume like 1,200 a day

[molten drift]

Usually it was accidental

[gilded quest]

I mean its pretty mid for fast food sandwiches
I think whataburger has some sandwiches over 1000 kcal

[eager venture]

i eat two big meals a day

[molten drift]

I eat either 2 or 1 meal a day... Depends on what I'm having

[wind pulsar]

I-I'm sticking to my ricecrackers.. xD

[pliant karma]

ah lol i got 4 extra when I was in portugal. But it was late I was hungry and tired

[gilded quest]

i do this on days I take my adhd meds
like a medium breakfast and a big dinner

[polar fern]

My calorie intake varies between 3000 & 5000 most days or I start to rapidly shrink & not feel well

[eager venture]

do we all have adhd here?

[polar fern]

Yes

[gilded quest]

maybe
i've been diagnosed & medicated for the past 20 years

[molten drift]

Cobra... I just need alot less calories than most. I'm 4'10" and missing half my right arm (the lower half)

[polar fern]

Those meds kept me so skinny and cold all the time blergh

[wind pulsar]

Tbh, when I'm in Germany I usually just eat prefab food, I can have like a pound of food that only has 700 calories and it lasts me my entire day

[molten drift]

So.. I don't need as many calories as say a average sized person

[wind pulsar]

I'm 4'10 too!

[gilded quest]

on weekends I wish I could get the appetite suppression without the focus

[summer folio]

We have Quarter Pounder & big Tasty in Sweden. Different burgers.

Then again I have only tasted atleast dubbel quarter pounder. Used to order *Quadrupel" Meat+cheese Quarter pounder every day after moving out(lived like 300 meters from McDonalds) - Even got a "VIP-Card"

[polar fern]

Ritalin appetite nonsense was so bad I had to eat before lunch in the classroom.

[molten drift]

I mean... I'm drinking a Gatorade cause I need flavor and I've had 5 bottles of water already today...

[polar fern]

The worst part of being on Ritalin and I mean by far the worst is it made my ASD far more intense. I became incredibly antisocial and did not even really speak to people.

[wind pulsar]

I'm kinda addicted to ice tea, trying out all the flavors my local store has

[molten drift]

My regular McDonald's order is 3 double cheese burger no bun only extra pickles 2 McChicken add cheese no bun no lettuce add pickle a small fry and a 6 nugget with one bbq and one ranch.in a bowl with a fork.... And that will be my only meal of the day

[polar fern]

I think the last time I ate fast food was 2011

[summer folio]

💯

[wind pulsar]

Currently sticking to Lemon + Lime and Peach, but I had green tea, watermelon, forest berries, cherry, black tea..

[eager venture]

8 years in untreated adhd going strong

[molten drift]

The only tea I could drink was brisk ice tea with lemonade in the cans.

[polar fern]

I find that a bit of tea or other stuff with caffeine in it is good enough

[eager venture]

i just skip breakfest

[wind pulsar]

The watermelon ice tea unfortunately literally smelled like diluted nail polish remover and tasted like sugar water

[polar fern]

Used to eat & drink so much unhealthy over processed garbage when I was younger. 😬

[gilded quest]

I did until i was about 20

[summer folio]

Damn, no bun?!? We're being healthy?

20-pack nuggets+Quad QP(=Pounder) here.

Nowadays I just order Tripple Cheese if I'm on run/get go.

[gilded quest]

it helps when you don't have to be at school at 7am ready to focus

[molten drift]

McDonald's buns are literally the worst thing in that restaurant

[wind pulsar]

If I'm at McDonalds, I usually just order two 10 packs of nuggies and some fries without salt

[gilded quest]

mcnuggets are awful

[molten drift]

They come in by the pallet. Pre wrapped in bubble pack trays .. and are supposed to last over a week sometimes longer in some locations..

[polar fern]

Buns of steel - no really … has enough added minerals to supplant a mine

[summer folio]

You're 8?

[lilac sage]

I order the cheapest burger or I get a smoothie/shake/slushy

[molten drift]

That last part is a monster statement acording to the former McDonald's employee in me.

[lilac sage]

Their hot mustard sauce for their nuggets arent that bad tho

[wind pulsar]

I know, because people that want that need new fries to be made

[eager venture]

fuck my spelling

[wind pulsar]

So lifehack; If you want fresh fries at McDonalds, order fries without salt

[polar fern]

Oh, that reminds me last year, I gave up refined sugar in my tea/coffee. Was very challenging. I now only use organic amber agave & organic unfiltered honey

[gilded quest]

word. i'll just carry salt in my car!

[molten drift]

Navy... You will literally anger the entire restaurant.

All the staff.

[gilded quest]

controversially, In-N-Out fries are my favorite

[wind pulsar]

You'll probably have to switch the McDonalds though, because you will piss off the establishment

[molten drift]

I've never had in and out

[gilded quest]

its mediocre but incredibly cheap

[molten drift]

I mean I'm an east coast gal

[lilac sage]

Controversial statement. I like BK fries

[molten drift]

And getting out of work in 11 mins thank goodness

[polar fern]

Pro tip: they sell French fries at most grocery store that are far superior than the stuff sold fast food places & you can customise season them

[gilded quest]

in n out quality for the price is fantastic

[molten drift]

Me too their fluffy

[gilded quest]

but the drive thru line is often 50-60 cars deep

[molten drift]

Bk nuggets are the worst though

[summer folio]

what's next, BK Nuggets?

[polar fern]

Alexa waffle fries 🍟

[dreamy otter]

same 😂

[wind pulsar]

The first time I ordered them that way the guy taking my order actually stopped talking for a second and asked me 'I'm sorry, can you repeat that?'

I already knew what was going on

[eager venture]

shakeshack>>>>>

[gilded quest]

i should try bk

[lilac sage]

Never had nuggets enough to compare bk to mcd

[lilac sage]

Shitshack

[dreamy otter]

i've never had shake shack

[gilded quest]

mcnuggets are bottom tier

[molten drift]

For reference bk is 10 for 1.49...

[summer folio]

Don't try aeroplane nuggets, it's not worth the chewing

[gilded quest]

grocery store frozen aisle nuggets > mcnuggets

[polar fern]

Mhm

[gilded quest]

oh these are addicting

[polar fern]

Yes.

[graceful burrow]

I love how transit is basically talking to himself lmao

[dreamy otter]

everyone loves chick fil a but it's just average to me i dont get it

[lilac sage]

Chic fil A fries are god tier

[graceful burrow]

I've never seen a chick FIL a

[lilac sage]

very rare

[polar fern]

@graceful burrow it’s good conversation, what can I say

[lilac sage]

They have super strict franchise requirements

[molten drift]

That means your getting a 14.9 cent nugget pre markup.... Which means compared to the 56 cent per nugget at McDonald's... Yeah the quality is obvious

[eager venture]

its really good

[gilded quest]

i thought i was blocked

[polar fern]

No

[graceful burrow]

Eh
Don't really like the company, I won't bother

[wind pulsar]

And I don't feel bad for him either

[dreamy otter]

I'd rather get mcdonalds over chic fil a honestly

[molten drift]

I eat a bit of CFA

I'll get like a half dozen sammiches when I go.

[gilded quest]

popeyes > cfa

[lilac sage]

mcds you can pay ur way to a location while chicfila they do a long af approval process but the franchise fees are extremely small by comparison

[dreamy otter]

Agreed

[molten drift]

And then just eat them over the next two days

[gilded quest]

i only had CFA becuase it was in the student union

[polar fern]

@wind pulsar y’all ok?

[graceful burrow]

Popeyes kinda rules tho

[gilded quest]

it was fine

[dreamy otter]

the only issue is my local Popeyes takes forever to give you one item of food

[gilded quest]

mine gives me a regular sandwich instead of spicy half the time

[wind pulsar]

I don't really like sweet potato fries, but I love these grid fries

[gilded quest]

[molten drift]

Ild like to try pop eyes. But.mm. The only one around me is in a area that if theirs not a stabbing or shooting daily you should be concerned

[lilac sage]

CFA>popeyes when ur allergic to bones or you die when you consume seasoning.

[molten drift]

So me....

[gilded quest]

i love sweet potato fries
i didn't start eating regular fries until i was 22

[dreamy otter]

I think i'm sick of Chick Fil A because that's all my parents would get for the most part for like 3 years

[summer folio]

I thought that was every pop eyes™

[polar fern]

I think it’s pretty amazing that I haven’t had fast-food in over a decade. I used to have fast food, basically every other day in growing up all the way until my midteens.

[gilded quest]

i didn't start until college

and now its a habit i need to shake

[dreamy otter]

My local KFC closed down

[molten drift]

Mokotowski.. a plain taco bell chicken quesadilla is the upper limit of my spice threshold. My sweede genes controlled my seasoning limits.

[summer folio]

How? I thought you had kids

[gilded quest]

speaking of shakes.....

[lilac sage]

Popeyes mardi gras mustard is literally the best fast food hot mustard but its regional so yall will prob never get to try it

We don't have a Freddy's or steak and shake or steak shack

[gilded quest]

rip to SNS

[wind pulsar]

We have this ice cream chain called Blue Seal, they sell yum yum ice cream in Okinawa

You can tell where this is going considering we've talked about sweet potatoes

[dreamy otter]

[lilac sage]

So basically taro root mcd pies?

[molten drift]

Ube ice cream?

[gilded quest]

purple

[lilac sage]

were going to green tea mcds icecream and taro root pies arent we?

[wind pulsar]

It's beni imo ice cream, which is a local sweet potato

[dreamy otter]

do y'all have culvers?

[gilded quest]

i'd try it

[molten drift]

No

[gilded quest]

granted, i'll eat anything

[eager venture]

so its just sweet mashed potatos?

[molten drift]

Ild love to go to the ribera steakhouse in Japan and get a jacket cause I was a wrestler

[summer folio]

I used to combine my knowledge of grocery store inventory prices, with McDonalds next house bag of cheeseburgers.

Aka I sat down on a elderly chair in grocery store & opened their cold 2L Coke & munched threw the bag of cheese burgers.
Then I went to the cashier & payed for the empty bottle.

[wind pulsar]

It's yum, if you want to piss off Blue Seal just call them 'Purple potatoes', people that eat beni imo regularly like we do absolutely despise that

[wind pulsar]

It pisses them off so much in fact that they literally have in their description to 'please not call them purple potatoes'

[polar fern]

It’s kind of scary and also hilarious how much I really cannot relate to this conversation right now. 🤣 I really cannot stand any type of fast food or any of those ice cream stores anymore. I have cut the amount of sugar in my diet by about 85%, the last five years

[dreamy otter]

I could never do that.. 😂

[graceful burrow]

Then why reply
Why waste the keystrokes
What a useless message

[molten drift]

Well time to sign out of work and sign on to second life toodles all

Their header for the webpage is great too, if you squeeze your eyes you can almost read the text without being affected by the flashbang too much

@karmic flame it’s crazy. I actually have a few pairs of shorts that fall off of me unless am wearing a belt. Has led to some awkward situations actually. 🤣

Im wearing a shirt my wife purchased for me 14 years ago and have not worn it for over 12 years

[wind pulsar]

To the Americans credit

I personally have ZERO idea what the fuck that means

[polar fern]

By the end of that whole thing, I can actually breathe better and sleep better and I have better cognition because of the sleeping

Sleep apnea ? per chance ?

[manic torrent]

[analog shuttle]

[polar fern]

Not really, just the hormonal stuff caused by too much sugar or salt or whatever it is doesn’t help with any of that, and when I go to sleep, I am always stressed out or anxious

[analog shuttle]

i wonder

[manic torrent]

I have been married for over 15 years

[karmic flame]

I had acid reflux super bad for YEARS.. was eating like a large bottle of tums every other day. Found out it was actually all tied to my sleep apnea.. soon as i got on a cpap.havent had acid reflux since.

@analog shuttle bit more complex than that

[summer folio]

From Stockholm Sweden?
Turkish Airlines Today: 520$
Stockholm Arlanda->Istanbul->Tokyo International Haneda

[polar fern]

That sounds brutal

[jaunty compass]

I meant in general for people who are over in Japan

[summer folio]

[jaunty compass]

Because I'm in the U.S. but I know places tend to have budget airlines like how spirit exists

[polar fern]

Frontier too

In Japan lot of people also take bus & train.

[analog shuttle]

meh kinda

[polar fern]

“People are terrible messes”

[analog shuttle]

what

[polar fern]

I have an idea for a new German law.

[analog shuttle]

budget and air travel in one sentence is scary

[jaunty compass]

I mean, it's $60 for a round trip from a city near me across the country

And I'm no stranger to budget airlines

[analog shuttle]

yes but it’s budget air travel

that scares me

it means they’re cutting corners

[jaunty compass]

I know travelling to Japan is significantly more expensive but budget options exist

And air travel is pretty heavily regulated

[jaunty compass]

They cut corners on amenities like USB ports and changing you for anything extra

[polar fern]

Having a smaller fleet can mean federal inspectors don’t need as much time to look over the aircraft & records vs a huge carrier.

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, normal economy options are usually minimum $600, I usually pay at least $1,800 for my business seats

[jaunty compass]

$600 for one way, or is that round trip?

[wind pulsar]

One way

Depending on the distance of course

[jaunty compass]

That's what I was thinking, but I wanted to ask

[polar fern]

In reality there’s not enough inspectors

[summer folio]

They know a short cut

[wind pulsar]

Flights here are generally expensive, even within the country. Not too unusual that in-country flights cost like ￥24,000

[jaunty compass]

I see

[polar fern]

$600 for me would be one way to London on a smol jet with the proper range to get there

[jaunty compass]

I have a friend/business contact over in Japan that I want to go meet in person again in a while so I'm looking into flights

[wind pulsar]

I usually just fly business class and upgrade my flight to first class once in a while, assuming I can

[wind pulsar]

Sometimes they just press it on me saying 'I can do it for free'

It's not free, it costs my mentality

[jaunty compass]

I never fly first class tbh
I'm used to 20+ hour car drives in like 1 day

[jaunty compass]

I think there's one train I can take that will get me there but it's a multi day trip

Way better investment than buying the new shitty games coming out at the moment

Cheaper to travel if European.

[jaunty compass]

Europe is teeny tiny

Most European countries are really small

At least compared to the vast nothingness that is the united States

are there any lcd gpu backplates that play videos?

It's $218 for a one way ticket from a city nearby to new York city

[summer folio]

hmm, aeroplane was cheaper 50$ from Middle to Top of Sweden

[polar fern]

The norse countries are very long & full of fjords and stuff

[jaunty compass]

37 hour train ride

The U.S. is full of nothingness

It's all fucking fields

[analog shuttle]

they go through the earth core

[polar fern]

In terms of long trips - I have only ever taken the train from New York City to Niagara Falls, Ontario. Everything else has been much shorter.

[analog shuttle]

[jaunty compass]

There are so few trains in the US I never travel by train unless I'm in new York city taking the subway

[hearty spear]

Boston's subway isn't terrible, depending on where

[summer folio]

Train Tickets are like 20$ from southest point to middle Stockholm mid Sweden, if you order tickets correct 4 days of the year

[polar fern]

Actually, that might not be true the vermonter may have been almost the same distance as I boarded locally in Trenton vs nyc

Trenton to Montpellier

Let me check

[jaunty compass]

This is random, but have you ever heard of a game called cry of fear?

[summer folio]

Far Cry

[jaunty compass]

It's an indie horror game that's a total conversion mod of half life 1 that takes place in Stockholm Sweden

[full fossil]

When will amd fix the bug where when you use 4 ram sticks the ram runs at very slow speed for ddr5?

[summer folio]

oh, never played half life

[full fossil]

Is that a motherboard bug or amd bug?

[polar fern]

Nope - the Niagara Falls trip was a bit longer about 50 miles different

[jaunty compass]

You should try cry of fear, it's free and I've heard it's pretty good too

[full fossil]

Cry of fear?

[polar fern]

I’ve heard of it & seen folks play it on twitch

I'm reaching that age where I'm being tasked with archiving family photos and video. I fully understand the 3-2-1 rule of data storage though that's a little expensive for me to do at the moment. Would anyone have any suggestions for long term (decades) data storage to start with? Which channel should I post this in?

[stray kestrel]

I’m out of the loop with storage prices is 59.99 a good sale price for e “MSI SPATIUM M390” 1TB NVME M.2?

[jaunty compass]

yeah

that looks pretty decent considering it's a 1tb nvme drive that normally retails for around $100

[stray kestrel]

It’s on sale on Newegg

[jaunty compass]

it's gen 3 but like
directstorage doesn't exist lol

maybe once the api actually matters then a gen 4 drive will be a good investment but right now it's negligible for most users

[stray kestrel]

It’s probably better than the one that came in my Lenovo y740 that literally has no markings on it

[polar fern]

Lenovo has a set of dedicated parts suppliers for stuff like m.2 drives

[manic torrent]

given that users can barely tell the difference between sata and pcie .... 🙂

[jaunty compass]

that's exactly the point

it like

doesn't matter currently

directstorage might actually make a difference but currently it makes seconds or fractions of a second difference 💀

in boot or load times

[heady flicker]

it'll be a welcome feature though

no need for developers to add useful tips on loading screens such as "press w to move forward", etc.

[jaunty compass]

Hdd’s optical drive, etc

But I have the spec out the drives in the new one or there will not be provisioning for them

So maybe I will spec the smaller storage size drives to save some money?

Wow, that dropped the price significantly

The issue with these small form factor computers is not necessarily sourcing a hard drive. It’s the fact that they won’t include connectors or cables for them If the drive is not specced from the beginning.

These connectors and cables are proprietary and a pain in the butt to actually find aftermarket

It’s not a 4070, but it’s trying just as hard

[polar fern]

yeh it's a 4060 laptop at best and if you were going by 10 series naming it would be like a 4050.

[polar fern]

Imagine putting a 300 W graphics processor in a laptop

[glass lantern]

well okay 4050Ti

[polar fern]

4000ti

Or you could pull a transportation industry and 3970

[glass lantern]

and the actual 4050 would have been something like a 1030... which they are putting that in laptops starting at $1000, it would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing.

One time, my ex-girlfriend bought an Xbox 360 from a family member and I had to take the whole thing in its box with me on three different trains and then a mile and a half walk

[vapid smelt]

cars are cool

[polar fern]

I had to put it in the seat next to me so it was out of the way and not tripping people and folks kept complaining about it and I told them that it wasn’t mine and then they left me alone

No cars are not cool

In fact, if you were to drive that same route, you would probably be pulling your hair out by the end

The train goes 100 mph and then the next train goes 55 mph and the third train also goes 55 mph. You would not be doing anywhere near any of the speeds in a car on that particular route

[vapid smelt]

i go 80mph on the freeway

115W 4070 vs 80W 4090 in a laptop, see what happens

[polar fern]

Try driving, 80 thru New Jersey.. you won’t get very far in the morning in the peak travel direction.

[night heron]

the 4090 would crush it

more cores at a lower frequency is more efficient

[polar fern]

Both literally and figuratively

[manic torrent]

yes, but there is always a point at which it overlaps - likely just one tier up and down, generally.

[polar fern]

I really am not impressed by the current high wattage graphics processors. I would be far more impressed by getting similar performance out of a much lower wattage package.

[night heron]

you can do that yourself by undervolting

[manic torrent]

.... as would everyone. You can, however, make them 10% slower for a much bigger saving in power

During the rise of the first cities in Sumer they talk about a great flood. The flood was actually the sea level rising from the ending of the ice age. The ocean actually rose by inches a day. How terrifying would that be?

Do they make the fire color coordinate with the rest of your setup?

[gilded quest]

Why

[manic torrent]

I do, I just changed the video card and I need to change the cables

i use the preincluded cables because i don’t care what my pc looks like

I'm just glad I run a 6600 XT tbh
The only thing that might cause a fire in my PC is the motherboard

If you look where Sumeria was on a map, you will see that it is currently inland at the end of the Persian Gulf - the Persian Gulf did not exist about a decade before the founding of the city of Ur

[jaunty compass]

I haven't had any problems so far at all

But it's still a little sketchy

[polar fern]

It looks like it’s inland because of all of the sediment deposited

[jaunty compass]

But in store only 😭

[polar fern]

@manic torrent folding at home while folding laundry 🤣

[jaunty compass]

Something fun about the i7 11800h
It's actually Intel 10nm

But it still has avx512

[tepid bolt]

They had that deal like 2 years ago

[gilded quest]

They definitely had it in 2022

100%

[tepid bolt]

I got my 11700k + b560 for $300 in june 2021

[gilded quest]

Then they had a better deal in 2022 lol

Probably because 11th gen was still taking warehouse space

[polar fern]

Just think - back in the 80s people were talking about this same kind of stuff, but it was like 4 MHz processors

[stray apex]

It's crazy how CPUs are cheap and fast
And then the GPU market is over there doing some bs

thanks nvidia

i was about to send a screenshot of my cpuz but remembered i can't because i don't pay for floatplane lol

[gilded quest]

Are you really just gonna spew nonsense now

[stray apex]

Eh, it's probably because amd isn't trying to compete

Realistically, Nvidia is going to continue dominating the market this gen

[polar fern]

Gpu be like

[gilded quest]

[calm swan]

they dont care about the ultra high end (4090 level stuff)

[jaunty compass]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804382760840.html?
this is the board i bought

[stray apex]

Ah yes, they only care about the affordable midrange $1000 gpus

[jaunty compass]

the one they sell now has better vrms though

[polar fern]

🪛

[tepid bolt]

They're trying to be in a good light with board partners

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure AMD's best gpu rn is like a 6700xt

[jaunty compass]

idk if i'll use it enough to justify the cost

[stray apex]

By charging for basically the same price: performance as Nvidia?

[polar fern]

Mhm

[jaunty compass]

this aliexpress store has a ton of funky hardware

[polar fern]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-wink-wink-winking-rowan-atkinson-gif-15388297

[gilded quest]

Oh it is 10nm

Fun

[jaunty compass]

yeah that's what i said like 5 minutes ago

it's 10nm and has avx 512

they also make a 11980hk version of this same board

[tepid bolt]

Yes because the manufacturers get to actually make a profit over the meager crumbs Nvidia gives them. Why do you think EVGA who was a lifetime partner ditched them completely?

[gilded quest]

I thought the H-series was 14nm that gen

[stray apex]

I'd bet that board partners who do both still gross more with Nvidia than amd

[jaunty compass]

nope

[slow ridge]

Hello!

[stray apex]

Because nobody buys amd gpus

[jaunty compass]

you're thinking of the 10 series

[vapid smelt]

its true im a nobody

[stray apex]

It's wild how amd has managed to constantly come reasonably close in performance
And then consistently fail to break back into the market

[gilded quest]

Yeah 10th gen had multiple mobile uArch huh

[jaunty compass]

yep

[gilded quest]

AMD is one upping Intel on that

[jaunty compass]

it had 14nm for high power chips and for lower tier quad core stuff it had the 10nm

the things that went into more mainstream laptops

the g whatever chips

[vapid smelt]

i blame cuda

[tepid bolt]

I mean considering that they're starting to sell out of RDNA2 cards and 30 series are sitting in shelves I'd beg to disagree.

[gilded quest]

This pains me

[stray apex]

Even for just gaming though
AMD's last real success was what, the 480/580?

[manic torrent]

"real success" ?

[jaunty compass]

what the fuck is this

[stray apex]

5700xt could've done really well, but then their drivers were trash for six months

[jaunty compass]

And then for rdna2/3 they stopped competing on price so much

[gilded quest]

Ryzen ™️ 7000 Series Mobile

[stray apex]

While not really offering much reason to abandon Nvidia for most people

[gilded quest]

frfr

[tepid bolt]

RDNA2 was so price competitive it literally made Nvidia irrelevant for non-CUDA tasks

[jaunty compass]

I moved over to radeon this gen because the 3060 ti was never in stock and the 6600 xt was cheaper and close enough in performance that I didn't care

and i could actually find one

nvidia just never restocked the 3060 ti

[tepid bolt]

Even to this day, if you don't need cuda and can't afford a 4090 it's AMD or AMD.

Very odd considering they're still producing 30 series cards since they plan to sell them alongside 40 series.

[stray apex]

Amd hasn't had a card that's relatively common on steam hardware survey since like, 470/480/570/580

[tepid bolt]

rx 6600xt

[severe cedar]

i try but it changes my whole computer esolution if i change it in game

[jaunty compass]

switch to borderless windowed

[stray apex]

Less than 1% rn
When it's probably the best value new card on the market

[jaunty compass]

as a 6600 XT user

[stray apex]

Combined the 6600, 6600xt and 6700xt barely break 1%

[jaunty compass]

the performance of the card got significantly better over time

especially in emulators and other opengl stuff

[stray apex]

More people have 3080ti than 6700xt

[jaunty compass]

because amd finally fixed their opengl drivers

[severe cedar]

also doesnt work. can i share screen for help?

[gilded quest]

I wonder when 7900xtx AIB cards will fall below $1000

[jaunty compass]

Listen, I'm gonna be honest; I'm not gonna view the stream

[stray apex]

When you sell less $350 gpus than your competitor sells 1k+ cards
How can you call yourself competition?

[jaunty compass]

go to #1027757333117415424 and make a post there and you'll get some better assistance

[jaunty compass]

that's the neat part

you don't

[stray apex]

When they finally sell off last gen, probably

[jaunty compass]

reviewers who are out of touch do

[tepid bolt]

Well they're almost there so mustn't be long

[jaunty compass]

like the people trying to make videos comparing the steam deck and aya neo next 2 or whatever acting like the same person is really going to be choosing between those two things

[gilded quest]

[stray apex]

People who watch reviews are like the only people who might actually buy an amd gpu

[jaunty compass]

seriously though why are people comparing $1200 handhelds to the steam deck and acting like the same person is going to be choosing between those two

[stray apex]

Because someone buying a $1200 handheld will probably also look at the steamdeck

[sonic spruce]

I need a pcie card for usb 3.0. Anyone got a good one?

[jaunty compass]

Someone looking at the steam deck probably won't even consider the 1200 usd handheld, at least not at this time

[sterile rivet]

wow the whole unfunny gang is here

[stray apex]

So?

[tepid bolt]

Different products for different demographics

[stray apex]

The steamdeck is basically the benchmark PC handheld

It'd be stupid to not compare other handhelds with it

It'd be like not comparing a phone to an iphone

[manic torrent]

Gaming segment revenue was $1.6 billion, up 14% year-over-year driven by higher semi-custom product sales partially offset by lower graphics revenue. Operating income was $142 million, or 9% of revenue, compared to $231 million or 16% a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower graphics revenue and inventory, pricing and related charges in the graphics business. Operating margin was lower primarily due to lower graphics revenue and higher operating expenses.

1.6 billion dollars eh?

[tepid bolt]

And if you look closely nobody recommends anything other than the steam deck due to the sheer price difference.

[jaunty compass]

that's exactly the point

[stray apex]

Incorrect

[tepid bolt]

Prove me otherwise

[jaunty compass]

people recommend other things in a vacuum where price doesn't exist

[stray apex]

The steamdeck is the best value, but plenty of people buy other handhelds for things like form factor, hardware quality, etc.

[tepid bolt]

Sure, but who recommends said purchase

Outside of personal bias

[stray apex]

Do you think manufacturers make $3500 gaming laptops for nobody?

[surreal blaze]

question, how good is the Google IT Support Professional Certificate

[jaunty compass]

the people willing to spend $1200 on a handheld weren't really the people who were going to spend $500 on the deck, realistically

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure Linus daily drives a different handheld

[gilded quest]

The competitors have a size advantage

[stray apex]

The steamdeck is chonky

[gilded quest]

Steam Deck is chungus

[jaunty compass]

linus also gets sent them for free lol

at least sometimes

[gilded quest]

But the deck is much more console-like

[stray apex]

There are plenty of people who don't actually care that much about an $800 difference

[jaunty compass]

has anyone here done the dual stage trigger mod on the deck?

[manic torrent]

it's more that price is not a critical driver in linus' choice of hardware.

[stray apex]

The kind of person who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a portable gaming handheld is probably already better off on average

[jaunty compass]

I'm well aware of that

[gilded quest]

I wonder how many of the $1200+ handheld buyers also grabbed a $400 steam deck

[jaunty compass]

probably at least a few of them

[stray apex]

One for the road, one to play on the couch

[jaunty compass]

my only problem with the deck so far is the dpad is mushy

i'm waiting for some company to make a clicky dpad module

[gilded quest]

It's by no means a perfect product

[jaunty compass]

I'm aware of that

[eager venture]

Help pls #build-a-pc message

[gilded quest]

I hope they release an OLED upgrade kit someday

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-way-no-disagree-hell-no-gif-15861629

[eager venture]

[jaunty compass]

I don't really care about oled screens
especially considering it uses more power

the steam deck already doesn't have the best battery life when playing intensive games or doing something like switch or wii u emulation

[eager venture]

Pretty pls

[manic torrent]

sayd the guy who doesn't have oled screens

I am using one right now

[jaunty compass]

my phone has an oled display and that's kinda it

It's something I really don't care that much about

[vapid smelt]

tv

[jaunty compass]

I really don't care about my displays being oled or not

my TV isn't oled

I use a cheap 4k LCD tv i got for like $200 on ebay two years ago

[vapid smelt]

im sorry you where born with poor eyesight

[jaunty compass]

it's a bit annoying that I need glasses to drive legally but it's whatever

and not having true blacks isn't something that really bothers me

like
the colors are nicer but i don't care that much

especially not for the markup

[jaunty compass]

I know this is supposed to be an insult but I don't care

having visual impairment doesn't make my opinion on a screen tech invalid, especially when I can see things up close

[gilded quest]

I'd still take an oled

[vapid smelt]

i would love a oled steam deck

[manic torrent]

oled isn't about pixels, it's about colour and contrast and speed

[gilded quest]

120Hz OLED steam deck

[jaunty compass]

that's exactly why my opinion is still entirely valid

the steam deck screen is fine to me, and I really don't care about having an oled display

[marble cipher]

Hi

I need advice

[jaunty compass]

on

[marble cipher]

Im tryna re-install windows cos my laptop is slow 😦

i got 4gb ram and a intel i5

[jaunty compass]

ok

[marble cipher]

How do i do it

[jaunty compass]

are you on windows 10 or windows 11

[marble cipher]

11

[vapid smelt]

you dont need windows you need linux

[jaunty compass]

if you're on either, push windows and then type reset

[marble cipher]

...

LINUX SUCKS

Apart from zorin

[vapid smelt]

so does 4gb of ram

[charred crane]

search for reset to factory defaults in your start menu

[jaunty compass]

press enter and it will take you to system settings and recovery, from there you can either choose to reset the pc and remove all files or just uninstall programs

[marble cipher]

fair enogh

[gilded quest]

[jaunty compass]

also, this is a bad take

[gilded quest]

Take that back

[manic torrent]

lol. That's a take.

[jaunty compass]

sorry man, you just have a skill issue

not something I can fix

[marble cipher]

...

Linux is good

Linus is good

[vapid smelt]

i bet you have an iphone then since you hate android/linux so much

[gilded quest]

[jaunty compass]

I already gave you the instructions to reset the laptop lol

[marble cipher]

Android the goat

[jaunty compass]

push windows and then type reset, press enter and it will take you to system settings and recovery, from there you can either choose to reset the pc and remove all files or just uninstall programs

[marble cipher]

Ik

Any reccomendations for an os

[charred crane]

CentOS

[jaunty compass]

i'd probably just stay on windows but that's because most of my programs are windows only and won't work under a compat layer

if you're asking for a linux distro to use? pop!OS is pretty user friendly

[marble cipher]

im a dev/ui deigner though

i want something with devtools

[jaunty compass]

then...download them?

[gilded quest]

just sudo apt install them

[marble cipher]

imma just stick with windows and ssh into a raspi

[jaunty compass]

have fun with that i guess

[vapid smelt]

i thought this was a toilet lid at first

[gilded quest]

Fedora

[gilded quest]

Gentoo

[marble cipher]

Fedora linux

[gilded quest]

You could go full Linux from scratch if you hate yourself

[vapid smelt]

for a linux hater you sure own allot of linux devices, android phone a raspi

[charred crane]

Install bare debian, and chose a window manager you like 😉

[fluid ridge]

can you guys click on your username on the bottom left and tell me if it enables streamer mode

[marble cipher]

*iphone 5 with broken home button, tryna buy an android

[fluid ridge]

i dont know why streamer mode keeps turning on every time i click that shit

[gilded quest]

You could be the "I run arch btw" guy

[jaunty compass]

i thought streamer mode only turns on if you're like
using capture software like obs

[jaunty compass]

average steam deck owner

[fluid ridge]

not for me bruh apparently clicking the pfp/username area turns it on too

[marble cipher]

...

[jaunty compass]

become an arch user lol https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown

[marble cipher]

Linux is good but i like windows UI and UX

lol

[gilded quest]

Just use windows + WSL2

I think there's a graphical version now?

[jaunty compass]

what if i flash steam OS onto my pc

[charred crane]

Then stay with windows :), no-one is forcing you to switch to linux, we are just answering your questions

[marble cipher]

Kali wsl

[marble cipher]

Then you will die

[jaunty compass]

isn't kali typically for pen testing

[marble cipher]

Hacking >:)

[jaunty compass]

I don't think I'll die

[jaunty compass]

kali linux isn't "hacking" software, it's just linux with some extra bloatware installed

[marble cipher]

Nearky there

[gilded quest]

He's gonna hack the mainframe 💀

[marble cipher]

Ever seen anyone hack on windows?

[fluid ridge]

you can use the same tools and features on every other operating system

[jaunty compass]

he's gonna bust out the paw patrol laptop and breach the mainframe

[marble cipher]

yeaaaaa

No cause that's illegal

Steam hasn’t released SteamOS 3 yet so that’s still the debian 8 version

[finite cloud]

That’s what most GUI linux versions are

[jaunty compass]

Wait a few months for steam OS 3 to be released outside of deck then ig

[finite cloud]

HoloISO exists which is that but it’s limited to AMD systems basically

[fluid ridge]

how is valve's privacy practices

[finite cloud]

I’ve been waiting for 3 to come out for a while and it hasn’t. But after using a steam deck it would be cool

[fluid ridge]

idk if i trust valve with data other than video games

[finite cloud]

What data would you be giving them?

[tough spruce]

Valve is really just a online video game retailer at this ping

[finite cloud]

You install their Linux OS and you’re on your own
