[polar steeple]

A million units is rookie numbers in the pc industry lol

[gilded quest]

im curious about this
because the gaming laptop market has a ridiculous number of skus

[polar steeple]

That's literally my point, they're an answer to a question no one asked

Anything a steam deck can do a gaming laptop will do better

[gilded quest]

gaming on the bus

or train
or plane

[slate tulip]

why? My steamdeck is so much easier to game on than a laptop

[ripe patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/hack-the-planet-gif-15624885

[polar steeple]

It's to make a distinction between x86 and android handhelds bud

Keep up

[gilded quest]

have you tried using a gaming laptop on a lap? terrible

[slate tulip]

I can easy game in bed, or sitting in a chair at someone's house. I don't need a setup with a desk, and a mouse and keyboard or external controller

just turn on my SteamDeck and go

[polar steeple]

You can do the same exact things with a laptop what are you talking about lol

[slate tulip]

wut

how?

sit it awkwardly in your lap while you mess with a USB xbox controller and then you move slightly wrong and the whole thing slides off your lap?

[polar steeple]

I mean...retroid pocket line, ayn Odin line, logitech g cloud, etc there's a ton of them

[slate tulip]

and you are stuck in exactly one sitting position the entire gaming session

[polar steeple]

For one, xbox controllers have been able to connect wirelessly in windows for years

For two, what does your lap look like where your laptop slides off?

Do you lack thighs?

Like are you an amputee? I don't understand

[slate tulip]

I just can't picture it. A laptop takes up so much more room than a steamdeck

[summer folio]

Don't put laptop in your lap guys, it's not meant for that. It will overheat.

[polar steeple]

[gilded quest]

android handhelds are weird
just get a controller for your phone

[slate tulip]

like, if i want to move positions, then I have to juggle everything around, rather than just hold my steamdeck with one hand for a second

[polar steeple]

They're not pieces of shit they're completely different classes of devices with different use cases lol

[sonic barn]

But can you get a keyboard that's the same size

[polar steeple]

Wut

[slate tulip]

I'm so confused

[polar steeple]

Anything past a snapdragon 865 can emulate Switch lmfao

[sonic barn]

External keyboard?

[slate tulip]

is there a place to post images in this discord?

[polar steeple]

In what world is being able to play elder ring while you sit on the bus or subway important? Lmfao

[gilded quest]

Tegra X1

with little cores disabled

cause BOTW was made for the Wii U originally lol

[slate tulip]

man I would. Public transit sucks. It can take an hour to ride from one end to the other. Helps to have something to do

[polar steeple]

Because it's meant for children who don't care about graphical fidelity

[slate tulip]

I have a car, but I avoid driving downtown, it's a nightmare. Some blocks are like, 2 car-lengths long and the GPU doesn't update until you've passed your turn, and finding parking is impossible

[gilded quest]

OG switch was Tegra X1 with A57 cores, I think the revision is Tegra X1 with A72 cores?

[sonic barn]

Metros though

[slate tulip]

and then you have super weird exits on all the highways

[slate tulip]

huh?

[polar steeple]

There's much more portable devices that will give you something to game on if you want...that's where android handhelds come into play

[sonic barn]

Ever try going through a crowded city

[polar steeple]

Pretty ≠ graphical fidelity

[slate tulip]

I'm guessing that a no, based on lack of replies, lol

[sonic barn]

Metros are the way to go

[sonic barn]

#off-topic

[slate tulip]

but why? SteamDeck is so much more capable

I can start a game on my PC and then keep playing the game somewhere else

[sonic barn]

What if you need a keyboard

[polar steeple]

The steam deck is big af and cumbersome what are you talking about lol

[slate tulip]

"SteamKey+B"

[slate tulip]

Less than a laptop dude

[polar steeple]

Lol wut

[slate tulip]

less than any laptop

[polar steeple]

I close my laptop and throw it in a bag knowing the screen is protected

[summer folio]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_nbc2/c01614434.jpg

[polar steeple]

Steam deck needs a whole ass case to protect the screen and sticks

[slate tulip]

my SteamDeck, compared to my very tiny work laptop:
#off-topic message

[polar steeple]

Its absolutely not in anyway more portable than a laptop lmfaoop

[summer folio]

That laptop is huge

[slate tulip]

it's really not

[summer folio]

When I went to school, we had HP Mini 2140

https://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_nbc2/c01614434.jpg

[slate tulip]

it's way smaller than my previous work laptop, and way smaller than my surface book

[polar steeple]

[summer folio]

The Atom CPU could not handle Windows 7 & Youtube at the same time

Before the IT department forced upgraded everyone to 7,
Youtube ran fine on Windows XP.

[slate tulip]

comparison of my hand, steamdeck, tiny work laptop, and larger surface:
#off-topic message

[polar steeple]

Your bag is not normal sized lol

[summer folio]

@jorban

[slate tulip]

the steamdeck is tiny, and will play any game much better than this latitude laptop will

[lilac sage]

17 inch laptop can fit in my bookbag

but I guess bookbags are considered large now

now we got glorified fanny packs for bags now

[slate tulip]

I mean, I'm 6'2", but it doesn't really change what I'm saying

[lilac sage]

ye I dont get a custom fit bookbag

[slate tulip]

unless you think you can game on a laptop the size of a cd case

[lilac sage]

I just buy whats in the store

[polar steeple]

Yeah I'm just using a bag I got issued by a job

[lilac sage]

your back is prob bigger than the dimensions of any laptop you can buy

as long as that is the case ur fine

[slate tulip]

the idea that someone can fit a giant laptop in their lap, connect a controller, angle the screen without it falling off, and then not move and be comfortable like that for a few hours is crazy to me

[polar steeple]

It's a Kenneth Cole Reaction bag. I can fit (2) laptops and a tablet in the laptop compartment

[polar steeple]

Or they find a table

[lilac sage]

me but I stick a mousepad over my numpad

and plug in a mouse

[slate tulip]

right, but the entire point of the steamdeck is that I don't need to have a table or desk or any of that

I can just game in bed, or sitting in someone's living room

[lilac sage]

steamdeck is heavy enough that you prob want a table or desk to rest ur hands on

[slate tulip]

great when you are stuck at families for a week or two around the holidays

[lilac sage]

or maybe ur lap

[slate tulip]

you have a lap though

[polar steeple]

...

[lilac sage]

laptop on lap

[slate tulip]

[graceful burrow]

get comfier chairs

[slate tulip]

I feel like no one else in this conversation has ever actually touched or seen a steamdeck irl and is speculating

[graceful burrow]

i have one kek

[summer folio]

[polar steeple]

[graceful burrow]

ive had one since first wave

[polar steeple]

I can't

[gilded quest]

lmao

[polar steeple]

[graceful burrow]

i dont see what that has to do with anything i wont lie

[polar steeple]

Bro triggered af

[slate tulip]

yeah, I'm very confused by the whole conversation tbh

[gilded quest]

same

[slate tulip]

the SteamDeck is very small compared to any laptop

[graceful burrow]

have you held one

[limpid hamlet]

@slate wing cool banner

[gilded quest]

its thick

[graceful burrow]

small isnt the word i'd use to describe it kek

[gilded quest]

its chunky

[graceful burrow]

it is quite large

[polar steeple]

Cumbersome

[slate tulip]

I literally posted pictures of mine in #off-topic and linked to it twice in this conversation

[graceful burrow]

why would i go to a different channel if im talking in here

[slate tulip]

because I don't have image perms here

[graceful burrow]

also
i hopped in mid convo kek

[gilded quest]

skill issue
financial issue?

[graceful burrow]

L tbh lmao

[slate tulip]

so, posting in a different channel and linking it is the best I can do

[graceful burrow]

it technically isnt

do you have amazon prime

[slate tulip]

idk man, who really has the disposable income to pay for boosting in all 200 servers?

maybe Jeff Bezos, if he bothered to use discord

[gilded quest]

sub 2 floatplane

[graceful burrow]

do you have amazon prime tho

[polar steeple]

This isn't even getting into the fact that chunking a steam deck into a backpack is going to have negative impacts on your analog sticks and screen lol

[gilded quest]

it comes with a case

[polar steeple]

Which adds to the bulk

[slate tulip]

idk what floatplane is or why I'd want it

[graceful burrow]

because you get a free sub with prime
and if you sub to LTT's twitch channel and connect here
you get image perms

[slate tulip]

I don't watch LTT or any streamers though

[graceful burrow]

it's a free sub

[slate tulip]

so why would I sub?

[graceful burrow]

it doesnt matter if you watch or not

but it will give you image perms

[gilded quest]

steam deck is less portable than an ultrabook, but more portable than your average gaming laptop

[slate tulip]

sure, I could do that

[graceful burrow]

and a purple name

[polar steeple]

I mean...being wide is not really a consideration when you're talking about the interior of a backpack, which spans your back

[slate tulip]

but I have an issue with taking features intrinsic to a platform, and then locking them behind money - image perms, third-party emotes, etc.

so I won't support such behaviour

[graceful burrow]

stay mad then ig /shrug

[slate tulip]

I'm not mad?

[polar steeple]

Depth of available space is more critical...which is why laptops have gotten wide and thin

[gilded quest]

unfortunately this is the world we live in

[polar steeple]

This isn't rocket science

[graceful burrow]

ye
whatever you say man lol

[slate tulip]

I literally found a solution, you didn't like it, and then said I was mad when I said I didn't need to do more than I already did?

[graceful burrow]

if i told you the real reason behind this channel being locked down

would you like to hear its really simple kek

based
get a steam deck

[gilded quest]

handhelds are fun
they're gadgets

[slate tulip]

it is simple - I posted in a different channel, and then linked it. Easy peasy

[polar steeple]

So wait

You get a floatplane subscription with a prime subscription?

[slate tulip]

or I can save my amazon prime subs to support people I actually know irl

[graceful burrow]

nah why would i travel to a different channel for part of a conversation
i dont start a conversation at home
go to the store
and come back to finish the convo

[slate tulip]

if Linus wants to go grab lunch sometime, we can discuss it

[graceful burrow]

no, you get the twitch role in the server

[slate tulip]

otherwise, meh

[graceful burrow]

this channel is only locked down to stop spam kek

most people who come in specifically to post nsfw stuff to upset people do it in general chats

it stops more people than you'd think

trusted users can still post images tho

seems smart to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gilded quest]

this is fine
but only if you actually use the sub

[polar steeple]

But you don't watch LTT

[gilded quest]

if you're just sitting on it you aren't supporting anyone m8

[slate tulip]

Nope. But I support friends even if I don't really enjoy streaming

I am using all of my boosts. I'm also in over 100 servers and you only get 2 boosts without paying more for each additional one. That's a lot of money if every single server required a boost for basic permissions

[polar steeple]

Wait

[gilded quest]

how much do boosts cost

[polar steeple]

Do you think Linus is a streamer

[graceful burrow]

he does stream

[gilded quest]

wan show

[polar steeple]

Yeah but that's not his main act lol

[graceful burrow]

he streams on his personal twitch account too

[slate tulip]

$3.49/month per additional boost after the first 2

[graceful burrow]

what a rip
god i hate this platform

[gilded quest]

lmao i thought it was like $20/month

[vapid smelt]

Is that why you're always on it

[graceful burrow]

im on it because i have nothing better to do

[polar steeple]

I honestly forget I have Nitro until I get the email saying my payment succeeded

[graceful burrow]

if i'm doing something important im not on discord kek

[full fossil]

Country rooooaaaads

[slate tulip]

well, that's just the cost for each additional boost, after the first 2 you get for free from Nitro. Not the cost of nitro

[gilded quest]

I am aware of that

[full fossil]

take me hooome

[slate tulip]

not me. I'm usually alt-tabbing between whatever I'm doing at work

I'm less active outside of work because I can go do other things 😛

[graceful burrow]

there are many things you can do while on discord that i'd mark as "non-important"

[gilded quest]

oh derp
i was looking at yearly boost pricing not monthly

[graceful burrow]

also
who tagged me and got sniped by the bot kek

shit message i guess

[slate tulip]

yup. Threw a fit at me the other day. I've been outspoken about automated message removal for years. Setup alerts in private channels, and hard block the n word

other than that, your rate of false-positives is just too high

[vapid smelt]

Nutella

[graceful burrow]

just dont use blocked words

good way to get banned instantly

[slate tulip]

oh, and of course this server does it

[eager notch]

Me, apparently saying Only fans with no space is banned

[graceful burrow]

ask the mods

[polar steeple]

Cornhub

[graceful burrow]

yall temptin fate here

[slate tulip]

that's dumb. You just end up in escalation wars and people can't have proper conversations because bots auto-remove shit without understanding any context

[graceful burrow]

it really doesnt happen a lot my guy calm down kek

[polar steeple]

Idgaf about being banned for one and for two if they ban me for pissing off the stupid bots that's a dumb reason and I care even less

[slate tulip]

[graceful burrow]

ive never been in a conversation here that couldnt continue because of the bot

i think i'm qualified to make that statement

[eager notch]

YouPrawn

It's just pictures of shellfish

[polar steeple]

Gorian is right, this impersonal way of moderation using bots is a bad way to promote discourse

[slate tulip]

it does. I'm speaking from experience, and managing many, many discord servers since it started. And I was one of the very first discord partners since before the partner program was official. I have a lot of experience to speak from

[gilded quest]

the downside of the bot is lack of contextual awareness

[graceful burrow]

if you dont like it you dont have to participate in conversations, it really is that easy man
it's their server, they can do what they want in it

[slate tulip]

and I can tell you, in my experience as both a user and a moderator, automated removal of messages is just bad

[polar steeple]

Besides that, isn't discord supposed to be 18+? Why is it so heavily censored

[graceful burrow]

no, it is not

[slate tulip]

you are right, I don't. But I am perfectly entitled to give a rebuttal in a conversation like a normal human being

[vapid smelt]

It used to be band with the space too

[polar steeple]

This is pants on head dumb as fuck

[slate tulip]

that's how conversations work

someone says something, then someone else replies

[eager venture]

Why do u need to add a phone number to play overwatch two

[gilded quest]

the upside is it does a pretty good job of auto removing white supremacy content

[graceful burrow]

because blizzard sucks

uninstall the game ez fix

[eager venture]

I really wanna try it tho

[gilded quest]

didn't they get rid of this???

[graceful burrow]

so put in your phone number

[slate tulip]

as I mentioned, the n word is about the only time that context isn't needed

[graceful burrow]

there are definitely other words kek

[gilded quest]

there is a whole set of words and images that fall under this category

[vapid smelt]

Are those the >only fans< in your PC used to be banned to say

[eager venture]

But I hate giving my phone number to businesses,

[graceful burrow]

so then dont
and then you dont play the game
this is simple

[gilded quest]

get a google voice number

[polar steeple]

Edgelords acting like edgelords is not carte Blanche for censorship but whatever lol

[graceful burrow]

it'll detect it as a voip number

[slate tulip]

you really don't like to foster discussions do you?

[eager notch]

"Band with the space" is a pretty great band name

[slate tulip]

disagree with anything in life, just shuttup and go away

[eager venture]

Darn it

[graceful burrow]

i like to foster discussions without banned words :)

[gilded quest]

god dammit blizzard

[polar steeple]

Edgelords have been on internet discussion boards since they existed

We managed just fine thus far

[graceful burrow]

yeah 4chan is super welcoming

[eager venture]

I’m personally fine with whatever is said on the internet

I know I’m correct just let them be wrong

[polar steeple]

It's not, but no one encourages anyone to go to 4chan. It's not 2005

[vapid smelt]

Even your full name and address

[slate tulip]

I just think that "if you don't like X shuttup/go way/etc" is just a cop out to avoid actually having a discussion about things

[graceful burrow]

you're right
good thing i was just using it as an example that websites with zero moderation are literal cesspits

[slate tulip]

that's how things and minds change you - you talk about it

[eager venture]

“[insert minority] sucks” like lmao idc ur wrong

[polar steeple]

Who said anything about 0 moderation

If you want to moderate, fine, but do it with real people

[graceful burrow]

there are real moderators here

i genuinely dont see what the big deal is

13 year olds use the app

[slate tulip]

yes, but they aren't applying real human context filtering to the regular expressions that are hindering chat

[eager venture]

I guess I should say things that can harm people directly. Saying stuff like go off a [minority] should be banned

As a minority

[gilded quest]

dark mode sucks 😡

[slate tulip]

that's just like, your opinion man

[graceful burrow]

i hope your phone explodes

[polar steeple]

And? 13 year Olds have been on the internet for 20 years at this point

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/note7-newgenerationweapon-gif-6184978

[polar steeple]

If parents are concerned about the content their kids are accessing that's a personal problem

[graceful burrow]

we definitely will never see eye to eye on this one kek

[slate tulip]

I definitely think there's a line between censoring everything and just having a free for all

[eager venture]

I wonder if the company that makes fake credit cards u can use online is fishy websites makes fake numbers too

[gilded quest]

my eyes feel great and I still have 20/20 vision

[graceful burrow]

all those fake numbers will get detected as voip

[slate tulip]

like, yes, monitor your kids, and yes you shouldn't have to be censored to the nth degree on the internet because kids might be lurking

there's a happy medium

[gilded quest]

i've been exposed to light mode since the 2000's m8

[eager venture]

If uv lived ur whole life in light mode u’ll never know what true eyesight is

[eager venture]

What’s a voip

[slate tulip]

your kids will encounter words and situations in real life too. The solution isn't to censor everyone you meet in real life, the solution is to parent your children so they know how to handle such things

[polar steeple]

Certainly but at the end of the day the responsibility for restricting access to content are the guardians

[eager notch]

Voice over IP

[gilded quest]

https://www.bing.com/search?q=whats+a+voip

[polar steeple]

This mf uses Bing

[eager venture]

Why tf u using bing

[slate tulip]

idk, I think VOIP is neat

[gilded quest]

my apologies

[slate tulip]

I ran my own server with some DIDs for a while

[polar steeple]

Bro light mode and bing, a rare bird in here

[eager venture]

Firefox>> (foxy cute)

[graceful burrow]

ill give a final opinion on the topic so we can stop arguing, feel free to give one too
i think it's fine to have a blocked word list
it hard-stops a lot of topics that arent appropriate, a lot of spam that is not needed for a server centered around tech
i think it's implemented well and has a quite non-intrusive list of banned words that rarely come up in actual conversation

[gilded quest]

https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=whats+a+voip

[graceful burrow]

aw hell nah

[eager venture]

Mf using yahoo

[graceful burrow]

i forgot yahoo existed i wont lie

[eager venture]

That’s for emails

[polar steeple]

Yall mf ain't heard of duckduckgo or something? Damn

[eager venture]

Didn’t yahoo refuse to buy Microsoft long ago?

[slate tulip]

I don't think we were arguing. I think until people start in with "don't like it? Leave" it's a civil discussion

[eager notch]

I use bing to watch nekid people do things, it's significantly better at that than Google

[gilded quest]

[graceful burrow]

call it a light argument
either way i'm abandoning the topic

[slate tulip]

and except for the parts the bot removed, there were examples and respectful rebuttals made

[graceful burrow]

post the socks

[eager venture]

I like debates tho

[eager notch]

I'm not wearing socks

[slate tulip]

although the fact that half of what I said got automoderated, ironically both helped prove my point, and also made it hard for others to understand it

[gilded quest]

socks?!

[polar steeple]

My targeted ads have dropped precipitously since using duckduckgo soooo

It's like a completely different internet

[slate tulip]

it's hard to give an example of simple and common false positives, when you trigger said false positive from the bot

[graceful burrow]

[eager venture]

People will always think their correct and the other side is wrong. That’s how I went from far left to right back to center left in a day

[gilded quest]

My targeted ads have basically vanished since I stopped using all facebook properties in 2019

[gilded quest]

lmao

[slate tulip]

eh, not exactly. The bigger issue is, no one tries to actually argue anymore. They don't cite sources and proof to change minds. They just want to "win" and show the other person they are wrong. They don't enter into discussions with the idea that their mind can be changed

[eager venture]

Ur only bypassing it if the mods notice u

[slate tulip]

everyone is all "it's not my job to educate you!" instead of "here's some references for what I said"

[gilded quest]

the mods are always watching

[slate tulip]

exactly, lol

[polar steeple]

I've never even seen a mod on this server tbh

[eager notch]

I disagree AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE

[slate tulip]

I have. They decided that the only way that LTT will work with Intel, who has already sponsored them in the past, is to email LTT lots and lots of money.

[eager venture]

I wonder if Linus has a secret account and browses this server

[slate tulip]

so... whatevs

[polar steeple]

[gilded quest]

I'm pretty sure he's too busy for this

I'd imagine he lurks once in a blue moon

[eager venture]

Ig…

Does he even have an account?

[polar steeple]

Busy doing what lol

[slate tulip]

I asked if they wanted to partner with the official Intel discord. Apparently, posting a link in an affiliate channel is worth lots and lots of money, or something

[gilded quest]

he has 3 kids

[slate tulip]

you know instead of just helping out a corporate sponsor who has helped you...

[eager venture]

In fact iv never seen an lmg staff member saying anything here

[polar steeple]

So do a lot of discord users

[gilded quest]

im sure they take a lot of his freetime

[eager venture]

So it seems I’m the only one single here

[polar steeple]

Linus is streaming Beatsaber all the time lmfao

[gilded quest]

at like 2am lol

[eager notch]

So he's making more of them?

[slate tulip]

eh. That doesn't mean he has free time if that's his job

[eager venture]

Am I the only one who goes to bed at 6am?

[gilded quest]

naw he took care of this ✂️

[eager notch]

Nope, me shingle as well

[polar steeple]

I would say that this probably isn't the avenue for that type of conversation haha

[slate tulip]

could be he schedules the things he needs to get his views and engage his viewers, and then logs off the internet the rest of the time

[gilded quest]

I could never be nocturnal

[eager venture]

We twins frfr

He's a eunuch?

First WA now tmo

[eager venture]

Using ur phone helps

[slate tulip]

eh. If it is more complicated than reaching out on discord, I'll let someone else do it

[eager venture]

Parents turn off the Wi-Fi at 11pm on weeknights so I have to download videos on my pc

[slate tulip]

managing the Intel discord is a volunteer service, and Intel has paid employees for some of that shit

[gilded quest]

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

[delicate wagon]

Woah

[polar steeple]

Streaming isn't Linus' job haha. If he has any job it's writing scripts for videos

[delicate wagon]

That's nice of them

[eager venture]

Tbf I’m getting payed for it

[delicate wagon]

Ah nice. Easy money then

[gilded quest]

this is bad parenting

[slate tulip]

idk, depends. If streaming a game gets him more viewers and thus more money, I'd say that is his job. But idk anything about streaming or youtubing

[delicate wagon]

Just tell them to cut the cables

[eager notch]

I remember this wan show

[eager venture]

It’s actually good for me cause I have a really bad sleep schedule

[graceful burrow]

he is absolutely youtuber first kek

[gilded quest]

its a great episode

[polar steeple]

I think you're confused about Linus Media Group lol

[eager venture]

With drugs I’m getting a 7 hours per night now

[slate tulip]

maybe

[eager venture]

I used to have 4

[polar steeple]

Briefly

[slate tulip]

I'm an old fogey, I don't watch twitch or much youtube

[gilded quest]

zzzquil is a helluva drug

[slate tulip]

maybe some cooking shows

I don't watch people play sports either. About as interesting as watching someone else play video games

[polar steeple]

Linus used to work for another company, he did their YouTube videos, he left that job and started his YouTube channel, it's grown into a valuable property

His streams are a side thing

[eager venture]

The stuff works amazingly. They say to take two I wonder if it’s safe to take 3

[polar steeple]

I'm sure it impacts their YouTube views but thats not the point

[gilded quest]

i usually only need 1

[eager venture]

I have the dynamic evo and I have no fans other from my aio cooling it

[polar steeple]

Rip your GPU

[eager venture]

They say to take two in the back

[eager notch]

Kinky

[polar steeple]

What are your GPU Temps under load without any fans lol

[eager venture]

Using igpu for now I might buy a used 1030 to hold me back

[polar steeple]

Ah okay

[eager venture]

💀😭🥵

[polar steeple]

I would...not...buy a used 1030 in 2023

[slate tulip]

right? Just buy Intel Arc

[polar steeple]

Or a 5700xt

[eager venture]

Waiting for the 7600xt-7750xt to maybe hold me back till the 5090 tho

[slate tulip]

that's not Intel, wouldn't recommend 😛

[eager venture]

No way am I buying a 40 series card

[polar steeple]

Who said anything about 40 series lol

[eager venture]

#public-chat message

[eager notch]

A 5700xt is WAY better than a 1030

[polar steeple]

[polar steeple]

I agree yes

[slate tulip]

Intel Arc A770 is good too

Yeah a 1030 ain't the Droid you are looking for

Interesting that Apple would subsidize it so much

Very interesting

[eager venture]

They want me to fucking add a phone number to play warzone too?

[slate tulip]

everybody wants your info

unfortunately, your choices are often "give it to them" or "don't enjoy things everyone else does"

[polar steeple]

I mean yeah if you play hyperpopular games that are breeding grounds for exploitation that'll happen

Also like, aren't both OW2 and Warzone "free"?

[slate tulip]

unlike just buying "organic" peas instead of canned, you often don't have a good alternative that keeps you doing the exact same things

[eager venture]

Screw that shit I’ll play only csgo and minecraft

[fossil frost]

information is valuable to a company, and worthless to a person... which companies exploit to make you give it to them because they can sell it and you dont care about giving it because it doesnt mean anything

[polar steeple]

If a product or service is free...your data is the actual product

[gilded quest]

This is the cost of free to play games

[full fossil]

Nothing in this world is actually free

[gilded quest]

I'd rather OW2 be $40-$60 and not microtransactioned to hell, but here we are

[full fossil]

I mean I got some shit from work for free

[fossil frost]

free + microtransactions means you pay forever... rather than once

[polar steeple]

I'd be alright if Overwitch and Forknife didn't exist at all but here we are

[slate tulip]

yeah, I prefer to just pay once for a game

[full fossil]

I also don't get the tin foil hat mentality of being paranoid about a company having your phone or email, like what do you think they're going to do with it

[full fossil]

sadly, I might have paid too much, since I have like, over $800 games in my steam library 😂

they wont do anything with it, but they will sell that phone number and email address combo to a data aggregator.. who has also been sold your email address and name by someone else... and your name + SSN by someone else, and your email + physical address by someone else...

[slate tulip]

[full fossil]

And your physical address is pretty easily findable if I've got your first and last name so that's not much either

Like they aren't stealing money from you or sending hitmen to your house so why do people fucking care

[eager venture]

I only have fortnite csgo and Minecraft to play it seems then

[polar steeple]

Why do you care if they care

[slate tulip]

ah. The cheapest price of my account, all sales, etc. is more like $3,000 - a lot more reasonable for 14 years of steam

[full fossil]

Because paranoid people irritate me

[polar steeple]

If you want to be a walking mark for advertisements feel free but other people don't feel that way

[fossil frost]

because they are selling that data to telemarketers who call you multiple times a day, mailer companies who send you spam, criminals who can use that data to try their luck on applying for credit cards (yes, it does happen)

[full fossil]

You're going to be advertised to regardless, literally all that info does is make it more tailored to your interests

[polar steeple]

This is an absolute falsehood

[full fossil]

No it's not lmao

[polar steeple]

To the point where I can't even take you seriously as impartial

Dude I hate these companies like you wouldn't believe but I'm not paranoid about my information

[full fossil]

It could be used by FBI to find you too :V

[fossil frost]

but that other guy said there was absolutely no way to get your SSN? who am i going to believe? actual research.. or "some guy"

[full fossil]

Yeah that's my point

I've scrubbed myself from people finder sites but most people don't do that shit

[polar steeple]

You sure? You sound like you're in love with the idea of your data being sold to anyone with an interest lol

[slate tulip]

providing a source for a claim? On the internet?! What kind of crazy person are you!

[full fossil]

No, I'm just not bothered by it

[slate tulip]

you are supposed to stick your fingers in your ears and shout "EDUCATE YOURSELF!" until they go away

[full fossil]

You probably are still on some

Unless you're living off grid, people have info on you and are selling it around

[polar steeple]

"I've scrubbed my info, but yeah I'll give my PHONE NUMBER to blizzard, what the fuck is the big deal"

Bro wut

[fossil frost]

and thats absolutely fine, if you are ok with your data being out there and being sold and it being used... thats your choice... but... at the same time, some of us choose to restrict what data we do give out... and that is our choice for our own reasons

[eager notch]

It's nice to know at least someone cares

[full fossil]

LifeLock CEO plastered his social security number everywhere as an advertisement for his company, sounds like a genius idea until so many people fucked with it that nothing worked and his social actually got ruined.

[full fossil]

My dream life

[full fossil]

Blizzard is not the public

You have to assume your credit cards and socials are already hacked, sold and shared

[slate tulip]

wut

was there english in that sentence?

[polar steeple]

What is your point?

[full fossil]

There's a difference between a company having my email or my phone number, and some random Joe being able to find my home address

[slate tulip]

ah, okay. Thanks :)

[full fossil]

That's my point

[eager notch]

I am de hackerman

[slate tulip]

the problem is, it's often cheaper for most companies to just pay fines, PR costs, etc. after the fact of a breach, than to pay for decent security beforehand

[polar steeple]

But regular Joe can just buy your data from an aggregator who got it from Blizzard

[full fossil]

You got a source for that

[slate tulip]

since they can weigh the chance of a breach as a probability, vs. the certainty of having to pay wages

[polar steeple]

Like logically you don't even believe your own argument

[slate tulip]

and they don't care about your information if they aren't financially incentivized too

[full fossil]

I can't call up Blizzard and ask for Joe Smith's fucking address for money ,what are you smoking

[polar steeple]

Is that what I said

[full fossil]

That's exactly what you said

Those companies are morons, cuz the second they get hacked, all of their reputation will go to trash and will lose a lot of money.

You don't even need their birthday if you look long enough

Somethin we agree on kek

pass a law that says all passwords must be hashed, salted, and peppered

[gilded quest]

This is the price you pay for not wanting to pay any prices

I know what I'm talking about - but this still makes me hungry

now I'm thinking about hashbrowns with salt, pepper, and sausage gravy 😋

[polar steeple]

Beef jerky ass password head ass boy

[fossil frost]

yep. because data security laws that already exists are actually implemented and enforced everywhere 🙂

[full fossil]

Fines are not proportional to the actual damage inflicted and benefits the company got, LET ALONE restitution for the people inflicted and extra to dissuade them from doing this again

[slate tulip]

enforcement is sadly always an issue. just like the US doesn't need more gun laws, just better enforcement of the existing ones

[slate tulip]

only things companies care about or respect. Money

[full fossil]

Disagree but not the right place

[polar steeple]

Is Lord Reset your rap name? Because it should be

[slate tulip]

eh. Just have say that you have to be within X years of compliance with Y standards published by Z orgs, and have a scale for auditing. If your services has A customers, you need to pass B audits every C time, etc.

[slate tulip]

fair

[eager notch]

Yeah we definitely do need more. In my state, as someone who's shot a gun like once in their life, I could walk into a store a buy a pistol today which is really dumb

[fossil frost]

in some states, a child who has never shot a gun ever... can buy an ar15...

[slate tulip]

so, if a new standard comes out from NIST, then you have 3 years to come into compliance with it or you get X fines every month until compliance or something

[polar steeple]

Oh lordt not a gun debate

[slate tulip]

rather than codify specifics which can become obsolete

[eager notch]

Pew pew

[polar steeple]

There is no state where a child can buy an AR15 though, that's a falsehood

[eager notch]

This guy definitely lives in California

[slate tulip]

the biggest issue i have is people talk about things they have no knowledge of. They talk about "gun show loops holes" and "private sale loopholes" in my state, but every single transaction, including at gun shows and private parties, must go through an FFL (Federal Firearm Licensee), no exceptions

like, political debates aside - if you take a side, at least be educated about it

[fossil frost]

"people who are not licenced gun dealers, are not restricted from transferring any rifle or shotgun to a minor at any age" literally written into state law in texas...

[polar steeple]

Responses like this imply that you don't need a gun bruh

It used to be 'there's a bomb on the ramp' in reference to a gta stunt races video I thought was funny when I was younger. I used to watch GTA5 stunt races although I never cared or played GTA, yes I was cringe.

Then it became 'Server Reset in 1 Minute' which worked on some people so but got cut off so I shortened it to Server Reset

Then as a joke I bought a Sealand Nobility title because I do actually have tenuous links to Spanish royalty and it's was funny. Then it became Lord Reset

[fossil frost]

ok fair enough, but doesnt stop a parent from buying a ar15 and immediately transferring it to the child, still in the store

[eager notch]

Or new York

[fossil frost]

best board ever? card..

there is a difference, a parent can go and legally buy an ar15, and legally give it to a 9 year old... but... buying heroine would be illegal for anyone

[polar steeple]

Okay now do oxycontin

Ortholinear 5 by 14 keyboard, wireless or wired, VIA qmk or ZMK, supports alps, choc and mx all on the same pcb, super flexible positioning @graceful burrow

[slate tulip]

I mean, yes - but to transfer the AR-15 to your child, at least here, you'd technically have to go through an FFL, which would trigger a background check by state police

[full fossil]

There is better solution, remove this account registration nonsense entirely, each browser could have one account which would provide some kind of key to websites when you enter it, and use that for identifying what user is logged in. Done xP

It's Friday, I'm not trying to have a late afternoon meeting

[slate tulip]

I was reading about it last night, it's basically a per-service second salt that is hardcoded into the application

so even if you have the hash, and you have the salt, you don't have the pepper, and it's hardcoded, not saved anywhere that would be contained in a database dump

no, it would be added on the server-side

[polar steeple]

Anyone here intimately familiar with the Charlotte Airport? I need some tech tips about that airport

[full fossil]

Registering and confirming emails and phone numbers is a pain xD
And there is higher chance that your hand written password that you sent to unknown servers would get compromised than your private key that no one could access,
Also this is just an idea in the right direction I think, any problems you might think of can probably be addressed and solved. Tho I haven't finished reading a book on cryptography, nor math, so might have to wait until I can think of more realistic solutions.

[slate tulip]

generally the user end doesn't do any hashing anyway - you submit a string to the server. The server hashes it, salts it, and hopefully peppers it, then compares the result to the saved hash in the database. If they match, you get logged in

Type with one finger

It’s faster

[cosmic coyote]

Get the cable

[pliant karma]

at a later point.

[brisk mortar]

Wait is your pc full noctua aswell?

Gpu fans etc

[sonic barn]

I wanna buy a lttstore.com

[pliant karma]

nah it's just a mix of fans. though I got 2 noctuas as intake

[brisk mortar]

Its a start

[pliant karma]

itx build I'll see how many I can fit

looking at fractal cases

[cosmic coyote]

I can’t find the 3080

[pliant karma]

damn I feel like asus makes them in small batches

vs their strix/tuf cards

[dusty rune]

most likely

[summer folio]

Asus radiates supervillain energy

[winter spindle]

My friend needs a gaming laptop
Budget is $1500
He plays Roblox and Minecraft

[full fossil]

Uh

[graceful burrow]

And not asrock?

[summer folio]

Both? Both. Both is good.

[oak basin]

Depends on the graphics settings he wants to use. If he doesn't care about that, anything with good integrated graphics should do.

[summer folio]

I mean evil*

[winter spindle]

High settings

[vapid smelt]

Chrome book

[winter spindle]

😐

[gilded quest]

What

[winter spindle]

Nice joke

[summer folio]

Expensive/overpriced = Evil

[full fossil]

Flow x13 2022 edition with the 3050ti and the 120hz display is 1.2k

[winter spindle]

Asus?

[full fossil]

Ye

[winter spindle]

That’s a little much for a 3050 ti

[gilded quest]

I'm sorry you're in poverty

[pliant karma]

@polar steeple lol don’t think I need to order more bits for this screwdriver. I got a lot from a kit I’ve had for years

[winter spindle]

Or just a communist

[oak basin]

This should do since it's on sale, but it may be a bit overkill or just right depending on what mods your friend would want to use, if at all.

[winter spindle]

Thanks

[vapid smelt]

I don't see the difference

[gilded quest]

Yeah the G14 is great

[winter spindle]

True

[summer folio]

Asus sells laptops with i5 gen 10 Intel for 600$
Puts a TN(doesn't say panel) 60hz display in them & calls it "Wide Angle Display" 😈

[winter spindle]

Is the 14 inch screen too small? Last time I went to Best Buy the g14 seemed really small

[oak basin]

I might get one for OTG gaming, but for sure it wont be as good as my desktop.

[gilded quest]

The smaller display can be difficult to adjust to

[gilded quest]

And?

That doesn't make the company evil
That makes that product a bad product

[summer folio]

Agreed. Rather have a 15,6" 1366x768 display

[winter spindle]

I’ll see anything that’s 15.6

[summer folio]

They are evil for configing it that way

[winter spindle]

They just making business decisions

It’s about the money bay bee

[summer folio]

It's about doing good in the world

[gilded quest]

Why does this affect your life tho?

[winter spindle]

It doesn’t

[summer folio]

[winter spindle]

You going to sleep. You can afford food.

[full fossil]

It's a 120hz 2 in 1 with a good 16 by 10 display, good io, good trackpad, good CPU, decent ish gpu for 1.2k

[winter spindle]

He doesn’t care about that. He’s just one of those drag clicking Minecraft people

[full fossil]

I mean still it's Minecraft

You can run it on a phone

Ik different edition

[winter spindle]

Idk he just wants a laptop

[full fossil]

Yea that's a good laptop imo lol

[gilded quest]

The x13 is just a bit cramped for gaming

[full fossil]

I mean it's a 16 10 display

13 to 14 is the total sweet spot imo for laptops

[polar steeple]

I'm honestly jelly you got one, I missed the boat at Xmas lol

[gilded quest]

Depends how important portability is

[full fossil]

True

[gilded quest]

A lot of laptops never leave their desk

[full fossil]

Yea then at that point get a desktop replacement or a desktop

[gilded quest]

Or only occasionally do

[graceful burrow]

Just get a steam deck ez

[full fossil]

I like the flow x13 a ton

Especially the new 2023 edition

[polar steeple]

Haha we were just talking about the flow x13 earlier

[full fossil]

Besides me preferring 14 over 13 there isn't much I can complain about

[polar steeple]

It's a cool piece of tech

[full fossil]

It's my favorite laptop

*favorite standard laptop

[polar steeple]

It's weirdly hard to obtain tho

[full fossil]

Yea for a while it was

The new one seems as close to perfect as a clamshell standard notebook can get imo

Even checks off the small things like being able to charge from both sides

👍

[polar steeple]

I would honestly take last year's of the price would fall

If*

[full fossil]

It's 1.2 for the 3050ti one

Thats the biggest disappoinment of that one

[polar steeple]

Yeah if it dropped below 1k that'd be great lol

[full fossil]

OH OH the new one has a USB 4 port so it's an amd system with effectively thunderbolt

It even got that right

It's basically the only 120hz 2 in 1, it's thin with good battery yet has good cpu and good gpu now

It's the closest I've seen to a great non gaming laptop that just casually has the power to game and do workstation stuff

[polar steeple]

I don't need a lot of Dgpu power, just enough to play some games locally when my internet connection isn't good enough for parsec, which is whybid be okay with last year's

[full fossil]

Yea, but the 3050ti Is still weak

It should have had at least a 3060

[polar steeple]

I agree with that

[full fossil]

But totally it's my fav standard laptop

And the new one is '4070'

[polar steeple]

What does this year's have l? 4070ti?

Ah

[gilded quest]

4070 mobile

[full fossil]

Yea

'4070'

[gilded quest]

Let's just all agree to refer to laptop skus as mobile to annoy Nvidia

[full fossil]

Ig

[polar steeple]

So really like a desktop 3060 non ti

[gilded quest]

Well no

[full fossil]

But the wattage also matters alot

[gilded quest]

Different architectures

It'll probably be like a desktop 4060 (or 4050 ti? )

[full fossil]

But that's still fine HONESTLY

Anyway yea

If I needed a laptop still I would already have a flow x13

[gilded quest]

Yeah I don't really need my G14 anymore now that I've graduated

[full fossil]

2 in 1 and touch is awesome to have

Really completes the package

[polar steeple]

I'd be down with a g14 if they weren't such a cringe aesthetician

[gilded quest]

I have a steam deck and M1 MBA
That's all I need for portability tbh

[gilded quest]

They're not even that gamery

[polar steeple]

Wut

They have an LED marquee on the lid lol

[gilded quest]

If you pay for it

[full fossil]

The old flow actually looked slightly better imo

Less gamery

[gilded quest]

Most models sold don't have the anime screen thing

Idk if 2023 is making that standard

[polar steeple]

The only ones I've ever seen are white with the LED bullshit

[gilded quest]

But 2020-2022 G14 don't have it on most models

[full fossil]

They should have a flow stealth model that's a normal looking case

[gilded quest]

Neither G14 in my apartment has the led gimmick

[polar steeple]

Sell me one of them 👀

[full fossil]

They should make a flow x14 with g14 specs

[summer folio]

anime screen?

Tell me more.

[full fossil]

It's ani me
It's basically lil leds on the back

[gilded quest]

AniMatrix display or something

[winter spindle]

Useless

[gilded quest]

It's dumb

[winter spindle]

Plus you don’t even notice it

[gilded quest]

But they sell skus without it for less money

So I'm cool with it existing

[winter spindle]

Who’s going to care about your anime laptop

I’d just stay away from you

[gilded quest]

As long as they don't force it upon all models

[winter spindle]

True

[eternal mason]

how much better is a 240m aio rather than a 120m aio?

[fossil frost]

if everything else is the same... a lot

[vapid smelt]

120mm get beat by aircoolers

[fossil frost]

a 360 is even better still

[sonic barn]

I confirmed it and then it died saying no valid ip in log

was like 21000 lines

then I reran it no problems

[winter spindle]

Linux am I right

O noes I green

Funny how the day of the month it expires moves because it’s 30 days

[winter spindle]

I thought floatplane was free

[polar fern]

It’s free for a fee

[fossil frost]

signing up to FP is free.. but then subscribing to any of the creators (you pay per individual creator) is not free

[winter spindle]

Bro

Linus I can’t pay for this on top of game pass and other stuff

Sorry

[polar fern]

Then don’t?

[fossil frost]

so, you cant "subscribe to floatplane"... you have to pay for LTT + Other Creator + Other Creator

[winter spindle]

Ok

So it’s like patreon

[polar fern]

Yes. Floatplane is a content hosting platform for creators.

[fossil frost]

one creator might be £5/mo, another £7 and another £10... so to sub to multiple creators gets expensive fast
