[fierce moth]

Trackpads can be good for stratagy or world builder games

[unkempt widget]

i once got 20 kills in a row

[fierce moth]

Aka anything not 3d

[unkempt widget]

what are you on man

[fierce moth]

And point and click

[unkempt widget]

it was so funny the enemies just ran across the bridge and i shot them with my rocket launcher

[fierce moth]

So sims

[unkempt widget]

i did it 20 times in a row

[dire roost]

or if you're gaming

[unkempt widget]

try playing hoi4 on a trackpad

[cosmic coyote]

osu on trackpad

[wispy marsh]

I used trackpad for CabalOnline back then

[unkempt widget]

oh god

[fierce moth]

I use a trackpad when I forget to bring my mouse to school

Although I bring a g203 to school

[wispy marsh]

You can just stop by the provisions store

[unkempt widget]

i mean for most schoolwork a trackpad is enough

[wispy marsh]

A mouse trap will fix your problem

[dire roost]

never heard of that game tbh

[fierce moth]

Pain in the ass when it doesn't work half the time

[dire roost]

not if you're a design student

[wispy marsh]

Korean MMORPG, still alive today

[unkempt widget]

i said most

[wispy marsh]

I enjoyed it in the 2007's and 2015's

[full fossil]

most schoolwork is meaningless and waste of time :V

[dire roost]

crazy

[unkempt widget]

wtf is 2007s

[fierce moth]

Unfortunately I can't bring a mech keyboard into my English class

[wispy marsh]

The predecessor to RTX2070

[unkempt widget]

like 2007 january-december

[wispy marsh]

Somewhere in 2007-2008

[unkempt widget]

it's too loud :(

[fierce moth]

As I have a 100% board

[unkempt widget]

i love typing with a mechanical keyboard

[dire roost]

im getting my first one this week

[unkempt widget]

i can get 140wpm in bursts

[past egret]

get a 40%

[fierce moth]

My personal keyboard is pretty much the only keyboard I can type fast on

[unkempt widget]

i get 80wpm on a macbook laptop lmao

literally a 40% decrease

[dire roost]

pain

[fierce moth]

I get 50wpm on my personal keyboard

[unkempt widget]

oh

[fierce moth]

Anything else it's like 10

Lmao

[unkempt widget]

theory: playing piano helps with typing

[dire roost]

thats fax

i used to suck at typing, then i went through a piano phase and now i can type fast

[unkempt widget]

music theory however, does not help with mental health

[past egret]

truth: type more to type faster

[dire roost]

that too

[unkempt widget]

true

[past egret]

learn touch type, homerow

[unkempt widget]

i feel like my typing speed is still increasing

but it is bottlenecked by my slow head and slowmode in discord lmao

[fierce moth]

This

[past egret]

you dont need higher than 30 truth is

[unkempt widget]

you def do

[dire roost]

yea

plus typing fast sounds cooler than typing slow

[unkempt widget]

for writing stuff

[past egret]

you type in bursts, the human average is 30

[dire roost]

even if u make mistakes cause then u can just mash backspace

[unkempt widget]

because you might as well write

[summer folio]

spelling error gang

[unkempt widget]

i can do 110wpm consistantly

[fierce moth]

Ctrl a, backspace

[past egret]

accuracy > speed

[fierce moth]

Restart the whole thing

[unkempt widget]

at 100% accuracy

[dire roost]

that'll take ages

[past egret]

100+ wpm is just a show off

[dire roost]

yea so?

[unkempt widget]

true

[dire roost]

nothing wrong with showing off

[unkempt widget]

but it's cool

[dire roost]

^^^^

[wispy marsh]

Nah, he can 4chan faster at 140wpm

[dire roost]

type far right monologues at 150wpm

[unkempt widget]

being able to just hit keys really fast is very impressive for the average person

[full fossil]

world record is 212

[past egret]

ok

[unkempt widget]

it's gotta be higher at this point

[fierce moth]

Fuckin rocket propelled fingers

[past egret]

i dont know what i can do with that information

[full fossil]

i sense lack of conversation skills

[dire roost]

expand your horizons

[dire roost]

💀

[unkempt widget]

they also use different keyboards like dvorak

[wispy marsh]

Expand what

[full fossil]

idk, just googled it xD

[fierce moth]

Yes, listen to classical

Instead of modern music

[dire roost]

G minor by bach would be my favorite piece

[wispy marsh]

Guitar hero using keyboard?

[unkempt widget]

which one?

[past egret]

couldve done the same thing and that still adds nothing to this conversation

[dire roost]

lemme find it

[fierce moth]

Gotta be pathetique no 1

From Beethoven

[dire roost]

its not by bach its just called G minor bach lol

[past egret]

chopins prelude in e minor

[fierce moth]

I also love Orchestra scores in games

Cough cough the legend of zelda skyward sword

[unkempt widget]

love chopin

[past egret]

there needs to be more movies about music

[full fossil]

i should maybe learn it 🤔 its time for a new record

[past egret]

like whiplash, lalaland and soul

[unkempt widget]

dvorak is inferior, only nothisisjohn uses it

[past egret]

for like every genre of music

because all of those are jazz

[unkempt widget]

colemak is optimized for higher speeds, but it's gonna take a while to get used to

[fierce moth]

I'll stick with qwerty

[full fossil]

i dont know who that is OwO

[unkempt widget]

me too

even though it's technically meant to slow you down

did you know that qwerty was laid out so that all of the frequently typed letters are far away from each other

[fierce moth]

I mean

That's good if you use all your fingers

[unkempt widget]

it's to prevent keys from jamming back when typewriters were a thing

[summer folio]

Dvorak is superior

I use Svorak A5

[unkempt widget]

please don't tell me you use it

[full fossil]

dvorak+vim OwO coding at light speed

[summer folio]

You should try it

[unkempt widget]

already did

[fierce moth]

Nano better

[summer folio]

I have used Dvorak for 15 years

[unkempt widget]

i used to competitively nitrotype

[fierce moth]

Imo

[summer folio]

[unkempt widget]

just recently i went on to try it and then i just beat my pb from back then on the first try

[full fossil]

do u like drowning?

[fierce moth]

I mean

[unkempt widget]

and then proceeded to never beat it ever again

[fierce moth]

I have good oxygen gear

[full fossil]

well played

[summer folio]

You should try Svorak A5, it's like Dvorak, but you have å ä ö & all special characters are alt-gr+letters instead of numbers.

[full fossil]

really? the heck, how did u do that?

[unkempt widget]

why would i

[unkempt widget]

it's in windows... oh wait

[summer folio]

I was bored & stick to it, even while playing games

[unkempt widget]

couldn't you just rebind everything to the correct one

[full fossil]

very cool xP ill try it

[summer folio]

Nah, had to Download the file for it

[unkempt widget]

at least i don't need to read everytime i download something because it might delete system files

[unkempt widget]

i got it on windows settings

[deep matrix]

Hi

[fierce moth]

Ugh

This image dump is taking years

[summer folio]

Mee too after downloading the configuration file

[unkempt widget]

how large is it

[full fossil]

lol, that sounds like windows problem

[fierce moth]

32gb

[summer folio]

it makes your computer harder to use for other people, its great

[fierce moth]

Running at 10mb/s

[unkempt widget]

are you using a 7.2rpm hard drive

[deep matrix]

Guys I have a question my friend is maybe gettin a new pc should I buy his old for like 200-300 euro it got i7 and gtx 1050ti

[fierce moth]

Emmc from pi

[full fossil]

dvorak + i3, wouldn't even need a password for ur pc xD

[summer folio]

imagine./ThisPostWasMadeBy10KrpmRaptorGang

[unkempt widget]

ok

[summer folio]

Oll Korrekt

[unkempt widget]

let's figure out the rpm of france

[past egret]

7.2rpm is awfully slow

do you mean 7.2k rpm

[unkempt widget]

and how fast it'll transfer files

[unkempt widget]

it was a joke because he was transfering files really slowly

[past egret]

yeah thats what i mean

[unkempt widget]

ok

[summer folio]

k

[full fossil]

not ok

[unkempt widget]

lets see, there have been 5 republics of france, 2 empires, 1 napoleon I coup, og bourbon, bourbon restoration, orleanist, july monarchy, and vichy.

all of these added up are 12

over the past 211 years

[summer folio]

🥖

[past egret]

bourbon like the liquor?

[unkempt widget]

so 211x365x24=1848360
12/1848360=0.00000649224
france has an rpm of 0.00000649224

let's shorten it down to 6.5x10^-7 rpm

[dire roost]

quick mafs

[fierce moth]

🤷

[unkempt widget]

so it's 8.3billion times slower than the average 5400rpm hard drive

a 5400rpm hard drive can transfer data at 75MB/s

[full fossil]

what the hell are u on about OwO

[unkempt widget]

and 75/8.3billion is 9.04x10^-9

[unkempt widget]

we're calculating how fast france has a hard drive will be

[full fossil]

im gonna throw you overboard

[unkempt widget]

since it has 12 revolutions in the past 211 years

[full fossil]

its called being french

[unkempt widget]

which is an rpm of 6.5x10^-7

which is 8.3 billion times slower than an average drive

so it could transfer 9.04x10^-9 megabytes a second

[full fossil]

this is like a spell to delete brain cells

[unkempt widget]

which would be 0.00904 bytes a second

so over the 211 years, france would've transfered hmmm
0.00904x60x60x24x365x211
which equals 60127373 bytes

or 60mb

if france was a hard drive, it would've transfered 60mb of information since the first revolution

[full fossil]

you made everyone leave

[unkempt widget]

lmao

[past egret]

america once again redefines the meaning of a short gun to mass murder machine

[fierce moth]

@full fossil my sketchy kernel replacement plan did not work

[unkempt widget]

and i'm back

[fierce moth]

so no aarch64 arch linux

[unkempt widget]

but frances hasn't had any revolutions since 1958, so all of the data transfers have (hopefully) stopped

(foreshadowing)

then and again, there's also the ancien regime in medieval france, and you could consider that as a revolution

mate this is the first message you sent here

[full fossil]

awww :[

[fierce moth]

got a kernel panic

[unkempt widget]

today

download more vram

[full fossil]

i dont get it tho, it should work
https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/
it supports raspberry pi 2/3/4/zero

[unkempt widget]

you don't

[fierce moth]

i looked at the boot folder for aarch64 it doesnt have the proper dts files

the cm4 is classed as a different model to the kernel

and only the armV7 uses the official kernel (from the pi foundation)

[full fossil]

well, i ran out of ideas then xD

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia fans blow a lot of hot air.

[fierce moth]

apparently theres a way to get it to work on a cm4 but it requires a pi 4 model b

[unkempt widget]

so if i get the noctua 3080 it would blow cold air

[dreamy rose]

if you want cold air go stick a Radiator in the snow.

[unkempt widget]

💀

[tawny widget]

guys i have a great idea

[unkempt widget]

we thought winter was over here but then the very next day after it was 20C and tshirt temperature, it jumped to 0C and snowed

[dire roost]

tell

[dreamy rose]

best Sub Zero cooling

[unkempt widget]

optimized for competitive cinebench

[tawny widget]

go to battle stations

you'll see my great idea

[dreamy rose]

is that a shop?

it's so weird to join a server where i'm one of the youngest

[dreamy rose]

its not out of the question that you miiight have a very minor case of Serious brain damage.

[unkempt widget]

my guy i joined like two weeks ago

[dreamy rose]

you must be underage for discord then. because anyone 13 or over would have gotten the reference

[unkempt widget]

where is it from

i don't really watch movies or tv shows

[dreamy rose]

its not a show. its Portal 2

[unkempt widget]

wtf you mean that game released like 20 years ago

[dreamy rose]

it only came out in 2011

[unkempt widget]

what the fuck

am i thinking about portal 1

i was thinking about portal 1

that was 15 years ago

[dreamy rose]

that was 2007 yes

[unkempt widget]

i watched a video by summoning salt about portal 1 speedrunning

[dreamy rose]

oh portal and Source Engine speedruns in general are all kinds of fucked up.

[gaunt hawk]

question: are tommorow land and epcot different things

[unkempt widget]

smb1 speedruns though

they make it look easy

[dreamy rose]

i dont follow Disney so idk

[unkempt widget]

while there are so many advanced strats you won't see just by looking at it

like pushing mario 21 pixels to the right so that you could get a wrong load while jumping down a tube in 4-2

[neon mesa]

uhhh yeahhh i just got fooled by my own deepfake ;-;

[unkempt widget]

damn

[dreamy rose]

Half Life 2 in 40ish minutes

[neon mesa]

i accidentally touched play on my wireless earbud
and it says "welcome to the wanshow"

i thought "i had that open?"

it's actually the deepfake i made

[fierce moth]

@full fossil i might have to do the unthinkable and use manjaro

[unkempt widget]

i remember someone trying to cancel dream because of a "video recording" of him in discord vc in 2015
it was a deepfake, and discord vcs were introduced in 2017

i love minecraft drama, so childish

[dreamy rose]

its fine. people blow it way out of proportion.

[winter spindle]

I love half life 2

[fierce moth]

I'm normally a stock arch user

[unkempt widget]

i have never played half life 2

[winter spindle]

Play it

[dreamy rose]

Arch is Arch. Manjaro is just as arch as SteamOS is

[unkempt widget]

back in 2018 i heard of it and i went "i'll play half life 3 when it comes out"
hmmm

[winter spindle]

Half life 3 is confirmed though

Half life alyx’s ending

[unkempt widget]

confirmed doesn't mean shit

[winter spindle]

I know

[dreamy rose]

you have to play the series. buy the Valve Complete pack when its on sale

[unkempt widget]

it could come in 400 years

[winter spindle]

I’ll wait 400 years

Sequel to the best game ever

[unkempt widget]

i doubt it's gonna be expensive because it's like a bajillion years old

[winter spindle]

No

[unkempt widget]

it's gonna be bad i'm calling it

[fierce moth]

Confirmed for 2050

[unkempt widget]

it's gonna be the biggest disappointment of game history

[dreamy rose]

oh it is not at all. was 9 AUD on sale for me

[unkempt widget]

bigger than no man's sky and cyberpunk

[winter spindle]

Half life Alyx was a vr prequel that came out in 2020 and I love it

It won’t be bad. It’s valve

[unkempt widget]

oh what that's a thing

[winter spindle]

Yes

[fierce moth]

G'day mate

[unkempt widget]

isn't valve like also a bajillion years old

[dreamy rose]

yeah. theres millions of videos

[dreamy rose]

1996

[unkempt widget]

literally spot on

[winter spindle]

They are still functioning very well

[unkempt widget]

it's a millenial

meaning it's a bajillion years old

[winter spindle]

They made steam, steam deck, valve index

[unkempt widget]

yeah ik

[fierce moth]

Valve is more of a hardware comp than devs nowadays

[unkempt widget]

i'm not a complete idiot ok

[unkempt widget]

they make HARDWARE???

[winter spindle]

Yes I just named some hardware bro

[manic torrent]

no, more of a software distributor

[fierce moth]

Mix them

[unkempt widget]

oh because steam is under valve

yeah that's right, my brain just shut off

[fierce moth]

They are long gone from making games regularly

[dreamy rose]

the hatred for 3 comes from Gabes work on Windows

[unkempt widget]

the what?

[manic torrent]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Valve_games

[unkempt widget]

damn their first game was half life

[dreamy rose]

the reason we dont get 3rd games is cause Gabe despises 3. and it makes sense because he only worked on Windows 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1

[dreamy rose]

yeah. and everything was literally just mods

[manic torrent]

yes, it was kind of a big deal at the time

[winter spindle]

Half life 1 is still good

[unkempt widget]

wasn't it windows 3.0 and 3.1?

[winter spindle]

I love the story

[dreamy rose]

then after GoldSrc they made Source and then now Source 2

[fierce moth]

Didn't the half life engine use a bit of the quake engine

[dreamy rose]

nope. 3X is different from the early versions

[winter spindle]

Yes

[dreamy rose]

it didnt use a bit. GoldSrc was a heavily modded version

[winter spindle]

Half life > quake

[fierce moth]

Whoa whoa, watch your language

[unkempt widget]

idk when i was a child i played angry birds

[manic torrent]

using the Quake engine licensed from id Software.[6] They also licensed the Quake II engine, and combined code from both engines with their own,[7] adding skeletal animation and Direct3D support;[5] Newell estimated that around 75% of the final engine code was by Valve

[fierce moth]

Quake was instrumental to 3d

[manic torrent]

yes, but no quake, no half life.

[winter spindle]

Yeah but you can still play old games

[winter spindle]

True

[unkempt widget]

and plants vs zombies

[winter spindle]

Clash of clans better

[dreamy rose]

No DOOM no Quake

[unkempt widget]

man i miss the first version of angry birds

[winter spindle]

No pong no doom

[unkempt widget]

i don't think you could get it on anything that isn't android

[unkempt widget]

the Amiga was cool

[fierce moth]

I mod consoles

With cool soldering

And add stuff

Like usb C charging

[dreamy rose]

you know whats cool. FreeDOS.

FreeDOS is actually good for DOS gaming

threw it on a USB hard drive and Started up Masterblazer. apart from being limited to PC Speaker sound and having some little glitches i see in DOSBox aswell, its perfectly fine. hell it Was smoother on FreeDOS

[dire roost]

you know what isnt cool? racism

that stuff sucks

[full fossil]

goodbye to low memory usage xD

[fierce moth]

Ima try and use the armV7 version

Sure it ain't 64bit

[dreamy rose]

wdym? Manjaro is pretty Light

[fierce moth]

But I only have 4gb ram

[full fossil]

its literally the heaviest linux i ever used xD

[crisp portal]

use vanilla arch manjaro really doesnt have a good track record

or maybe arco

[dreamy rose]

idk what version you are using but that is definitely not true

[full fossil]

he has a special reason xD

[crisp portal]

what could that be

[full fossil]

the gnome one xP it was really good for me like a year ago,
but then idk what happened but it started breaking pretty fast, moved to normal arch, everything works perfect xP

[dreamy rose]

not caring about "Anti Manjaro" Eletisim

[crisp portal]

oh no not that

[dreamy rose]

GNOME is Shit. yeah dont bother with that. KDEs the one to use.

[crisp portal]

they just screw up a lot

[dreamy rose]

man really, KDE uses so little.

[fierce moth]

Aarch64 isn't supported by arch arm on my compute module 4

[crisp portal]

gnome updates shit no my extensions

[dreamy rose]

its Powerful and its Simple

[fierce moth]

Cause they can't update the boot files

[unkempt widget]

and i'm back

[dreamy rose]

the only thing i want to see in the linux space is Workbench as a DE.

[unkempt widget]

what are we talking about

[crisp portal]

it moved to linux

[unkempt widget]

hmm, what other observations have you made

[crisp portal]

after observing this i have made no other observations

[dreamy rose]

you can Observe that i want an Amiga OS Desktop to be plopped onto Arch

you can theme KDE or XFCE but its not the same

[full fossil]

i really dont like kde, it looks like cheap windows 7 lol,
the only problem i have with gnome is its stability TwT not very good,
how hard is it to make a desktop that looks good and works 😭

[unkempt widget]

very hard apparently

[fierce moth]

Legit impossible

[dreamy rose]

ok. bad Opinion right off the bat. Counter point: Customise it

[fierce moth]

I've given up on looking for a decent de and stuck with kde

[full fossil]

for peasants maybe >:[ ill make one even if it kills me

[unkempt widget]

we all know the law - the appealingness of a couch is inversely proportional with the comfort that it provides

[dreamy rose]

because you found a good one

you found KDE.

[lament willow]

I love kde

[unkempt widget]

damn why don't people just use windows like a normal person

[crisp portal]

you can dive in the rabbit hole that is WM

[dreamy rose]

KDE is literally everything windows wishes it was but does it better

[lament willow]

I do use windows

[unkempt widget]

for legal reasons that's a joke

[dreamy rose]

Normal people care for their privacy, drones dont

[lament willow]

who cares about privacy

[unkempt widget]

what is microsoft gonna do with my data? they're gonna send it to the fbi or smth?

she also is chinese so that plays into it as well (i mean not being able to use facebook)

[dreamy rose]

like Fermi was out of literally ANY architecture in existence

[crisp portal]

you are not missing much by not having facebook

[unkempt widget]

other stuff that she does will make you feel bad yourself

[crisp portal]

oh no

[dreamy rose]

exactly. unless Legless people turn you on.

[unkempt widget]

true

[crisp portal]

all of meta's platforms are shit

[unkempt widget]

fuck meta, so annoying

[dreamy rose]

thanks Zuckerberg for the floating VR People

[crisp portal]

it's just that every platform is shit in it's on sense

[unkempt widget]

i usually don't judge by looks but zuckerberg looks... uncanny

[crisp portal]

$1500 for legs lol

[unkempt widget]

15B right?

[crisp portal]

lol

[dreamy rose]

Chillout VR has problems. but MMMM. does that look SCRUMPTIOUS.

[crisp portal]

where's mi verse

[crisp portal]

no i meant meta's platforms like facebook and instagram

[unkempt widget]

what?

[dreamy rose]

not a bad price for legs, ask anyone what their new legs cost them.

[unkempt widget]

scrumptious????

[unkempt widget]

i think their stock market fell by like 150B after they announced they were adding legs

[crisp portal]

yeah but $1500 for pixels of legs

[dreamy rose]

its so good. VR Chat without the nasty shit

[crisp portal]

and who knows where that data is going

[dreamy rose]

remember NFTs? well those are worse. so there.

[crisp portal]

well the trend kinda died

[unkempt widget]

why are you so paranoid about your data? it's not like any meta employees will ever meet you

[crisp portal]

its not as bad

[dreamy rose]

no. they fell 750 billion.

[unkempt widget]

no it was 1T

but 150B fell right after they announced legs

[fierce moth]

Am I paranoid for using a yubikey?

[crisp portal]

the zuck literally said he puts tape on his camera to be safe

[dreamy rose]

they were worth over 1T but lost 75%

[crisp portal]

that says a lot

[dreamy rose]

IORNYYY

[unkempt widget]

correction: there are no meta employees, he fired them all

[crisp portal]

i hope meta colapses honestyl

[dreamy rose]

or Hypocrocy.

[unkempt widget]

me too, my webcam has the weird thing on it

that i could flip open

[dreamy rose]

i want Valve to have Oculus.

[dreamy rose]

Privacy shutter

[crisp portal]

honestly id use vr with no pants but not if you have a quest headset nah my man

[fierce moth]

Zuck be looking what your watching

[crisp portal]

honestly how much meta invested in vr they wont back down now

[dreamy rose]

people do regardless. its what VR Chat is for.

[crisp portal]

no the camers looking at something

[unkempt widget]

it's not like they'll take any embarrassing stuff and show it to your friends and whatnot

[fierce moth]

Dw they are just measuring something

[unkempt widget]

they just sell it so people know what advertising companies know what to advertise for you

[dreamy rose]

thry wont. but Valve needs to get their hands on Oculus ASAP

that ship sinks and they are GONE for good

[crisp portal]

gets 10k messages next day

[full fossil]

they’re all laughing emotes

[crisp portal]

lol 20/10 response

[dreamy rose]

but one of them is secretly boing

[crisp portal]

one crying cause its bigger

[fierce moth]

hmm

how hard would it be to do network boot on a pi

[dreamy rose]

about as hard as installing Workbench in FS-UAE

really hard because it doesnt bloody work

[fierce moth]

hmmmm

i wanted to install arch

but thats off the books

[manic torrent]

https://www.bing.com/search?q=pi+network+boot

[fierce moth]

i could install manjaro

[crisp portal]

what you plan to use it for

[fierce moth]

media server

[crisp portal]

bing lol

[crisp portal]

use a more stable distro

[manic torrent]

I use bing for maximum cringe

[fierce moth]

rpi-os is not the best of the best imo

[crisp portal]

no i meant ubuntu server

something like that

[dreamy rose]

bing soy

[vital gust]

Apple ™️ 🇮🇳

[fierce moth]

whats ram usage like?

[crisp portal]

400megs and i have apache and plex server runnig

as well as pihole

[fierce moth]

hmm

full support for pi provided commands

like vcgencmd?

[crisp portal]

i am not sure

you could check if they have a ppa

[fierce moth]

ill test it

[summer orchid]

uhuiuhi\

[wooden fable]

Anyone on LTT have knowledge on encoding image formats? Like the process to create .jpg .png etc? I am not talking conversion but modifying the code of a format or building a new one.

i would like to know how to do this

if you could point me in the direction of a textbook or youtube video

[manic torrent]

I mean... where on earth are you starting from

[full fossil]

I like your funny words magic man

[manic torrent]

like it's a bizarre place to start, "I want to build an image compression algorithm"

[wooden fable]

I also have a bit of evil in my plans

I want to build an image format that purposely yellows over time.

Ill call it Frsh

can the prefiltering be time date sensitive?

[dreamy rose]

Plastic?

[wooden fable]

so it checks the system clock and the more elapsed time from

Thank you All

[rigid moon]

yes its luk prty cul with 200mm fan

[full fossil]

Fractal ridge maybe

[rigid moon]

[rigid moon]

vietnamese are familiar with this, i know how big that thing is

[cerulean canopy]

wouldnt it be more portable to use propane stove for camping
what do you use as power source?

[rigid moon]

we use a can that as big as a spray paint can?

[leaden gale]

Intel isn't even using nanometer naming for their process nodes anymore lmao

[rigid moon]

they use picometer then?

[leaden gale]

Intel 7 is a rename of the 10nm process node tho

MSI's aftermarket boards are hit or miss as far as cooling solutions go, but this goes more for the high-end stuff than anything else

[leaden gale]

[rigid moon]

[summer folio]

But only their AMD cards

[rigid moon]

their cards is really good tbh

fx super resolution, just like nvidia dlss but worse

nobody gonna judge me

no brand is better

So cursed

[rigid moon]

just buy what you like if you have enough money

[fierce moth]

Aight, IBM pc

[rigid moon]

2.series is still insane

[rigid moon]

bruh

[summer folio]

AMD for graphic cards is the most important
Intel or AMD for CPU is whatever.

[balmy lotus]

Yeah upscaling is the way to go

[rigid moon]

anyone thinking that linus is watching us chatting?

[fierce moth]

Amd gpus are amazing for Linux users

[fierce moth]

He's too busy to gaf

[rigid moon]

nvidia pty expensive but you get cul technology

Yes sir

[rigid moon]

[balmy lotus]

Damn nice

[fierce moth]

Kitted my gba out with a new screen, metal shell and usb C charging

[rigid moon]

4070ti is strong guys, its 3 times faster than 3090ti, 4090 is a waste of money

what shitposting mean? like cringe meme?

[fierce moth]

🤦

[rigid moon]

forgive me me idoit

[fierce moth]

Rt is a marketing gimmick

[rigid moon]

if i had enough mone i will go 7900xtx nitro+ its 2x cheaper in vietnam

[fierce moth]

Just cause a new technology came out doesn't mean we're gonna stop playing the older games that doesn't support it

[summer folio]

me with Intel GMA 950 beast igpu

[rigid moon]

i can buy sth like mainboard and 7950x3d

[rigid moon]

me with my ultra old pentium cpu

i dont remember much

[summer folio]

Intel Atom N270
Can't get much faster CPU than that

[rigid moon]

my pc is broken so i cant see the spec

[rigid moon]

yea that prolly by far the best cpu

[summer folio]

*something something, You want my Pentium D? *

And woke up to a Video Scheduler Internal Error BSOD. What a way to start the morning...

[rigid moon]

omg 100 cores 200 threads with 16.0 clock speeddddddddd

250w power

[fierce moth]

Whelp

Any old version of vanced is officially dead

It can no longer play any video

[unkempt widget]

i don't understand why people like amd gpus so much

[summer folio]

what

[unkempt widget]

4070ti outperforms the 7900xt by like 5% and is cheaper by $100

[summer folio]

ATI, Good Guy Greg

[unkempt widget]

sure, there are some really good deals (e.g. 6650xt)

[summer folio]

Nvidia is like the villain of hardware

[unkempt widget]

it's not like amd pricecs are any better lmao

[fierce moth]

Better drivers and open source drivers

[summer folio]

They are just villains as a whole

closed standards etc

[unkempt widget]

"better drivers"
amd literally has drivers that slow down performance by half

[summer folio]

Nvidia & Apple, both super evil villains

[unkempt widget]

and their new drivers have had a lot of bad reviews

[fierce moth]

At least people can look at the code and notify amd of any issues

[summer folio]

You don't want to be on the wrong side of history bröther

[unkempt widget]

you don't need to notify any driver issues if there are none to start with

some literally cause bsods

[summer folio]

"My grandmöther bought an iphone"
-Cancelled.

[fierce moth]

And nothing is perfect

[full fossil]

I got the date, get the car ready

[unkempt widget]

anyways i'm gonna go now bye cya

[full fossil]

Oh wrong chat

[full fossil]

Funny, considering how my nVidia GPU just caused a BSOD earlier today with a Video Scheduler Internal Error.

[summer folio]

Gl Hf with the Dvorak!

[unkempt widget]

i will try colemak, that's the worst i will do

[summer folio]

They probably did that on purpose

[unkempt widget]

dvorak is just outdated

gn folks, and enjoy your faulty drivers <3

[summer folio]

it's perfect, vokaler on left hand & konsonanter on right hand = you use both hands every other stroke

There is no word with 2 vowels in a row

[full fossil]

Seriously, why won't GPU companies make something that is reliable 100% of the time and doesn't cause headaches with BSODs...

Oh, morning.

Not really a good morning considering I'm trying to troubleshoot my damn computer after a BSOD....

[wind pulsar]

Heart

[leaden gale]

I don't think the blame should be set solely on the shoulders of the GPU manufacturers

[full fossil]

I just want a PC that won't have downtime every 1-2 months...

I need something that works 100% of the time and won't force me to jump through hoops every now and then.

Then go buy a quadro

Part of me seriously regrets building my own PC. Had I seen this coming I would've just saved up for a pre-built...

A pre-built isn’t going to fix your issues lol

I'm never, ever building my own PC again after this.

[gilded plinth]

Why do you have downtime?

[full fossil]

Seems kinda overdramatic but ok

[full fossil]

My monitor keeps on causing nvlddmkm crashes every now and then.

And it's becoming tiring for me to try and diagnose it every time.

[summer folio]

Should had built your own monitor.

[full fossil]

Didn’t build your own LCD array? Skill issue

Tried diagnosing the software end all day and still can't find any issue...

[gilded plinth]

"power supply"
"atx motherboard"
"gaming case"

[full fossil]

Do you have an igpu

[leaden gale]

Counterpoint: Windows is held together by bubble gum and popsicle sticks

[full fossil]

No, it's an RTX 3060.

What cpu

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

32GBs of DDR4 RAM

[leaden gale]

You're wrong, but sure

[full fossil]

I did everything right in picking out components and yet I STILL run into problems...

[leaden gale]

It having been pre-built is no guarantee of stability.

[full fossil]

Yeah no macos is probably the most stable of those mentioned

[full fossil]

Fresh windows install? properly install the gpu drivers? Chipset drivers? BIOS update?

[full fossil]

It's just a massive headache every time I deal with my computer crashing.

[leaden gale]

And that, much as it pains me to admit, has a great deal to do with how their ecosystem functions

[full fossil]

I do music production and I need my computer to keep up with ZERO downtime.

Indeed
If stability was tantamount, I’d go macos

[full fossil]

Fl studio?

[full fossil]

No, Reaper

[leaden gale]

What GPU

[full fossil]

RTX 3060

Have you tried using the nvidia studio drivers rather than gameready drivers?

[full fossil]

Good, it works one Linux, chop chop.

Bought secondhand overpriced back in May 2021 because back then my laptop was dying so I was desperate.

[full fossil]

That is what I'm using right now.

All drivers are up to date, I do Windows Update frequently.

I even scanned my computer recently with Windows Defender.

Lol well there’s your problem

Stop doing windows updates at the crack of release

[leaden gale]

I hate OEMs and SIs so much it's unreal

[full fossil]

Has anyone else dealt with the Video Scheduler Internal Error? Or did I get the short end of the stick in my luck with Nvidia GPUs?

[leaden gale]

At least Starforge has the decency of stating the actual models of each component (with the exception of RAM, you just get speed and CAS latency listed)

[full fossil]

You bought a used overpriced nvidia gpu during the peak shortage, it’s possible they gave you a shit one on purpose lol

Even if it was unopened?

The package was untouched as far as I remember.

[leaden gale]

Was it sold as New, Open Box, or Used?

[full fossil]

New

[leaden gale]

Off where

[full fossil]

Had to get it from someone else via Kijiji.

[leaden gale]

Hm

[full fossil]

I was desperate because my laptop was dying.

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5157/

[leaden gale]

I mean, they could have been lying

[full fossil]

And I already spent my money on critical studio gear...

I still have other expensive studio stuff to secure and now I gotta deal with this...

You can panic about it or start a thread in tech support so this issue won’t just get lost in the chat

Already started a thread.

But it is an urgent issue.

Because this is the first time I had a BSOD on my computer.

And I am seriously concerned that it could be a sign my computer is dying on me prematurely.

Nah bsod is not at all what it used to be back in the day

I really should start adding "URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!" to my tech support thread titles...

I got bsod once because windows didn’t like my mouse dpi it happens

Yeah, well, as a musician I need ZERO BSODs.

Nada. Nein. Non.

[full fossil]

I think the only time I’ve ever had a bsod was when I was overclocking

[full fossil]

So cute

[severe moon]

Just give me PC I'll do it without even knowing of what I did

[full fossil]

No

Just finished the chkdsk diagnostics.

[wispy marsh]

Good evening

[full fossil]

chkdsk test negative.

[wispy marsh]

It's 11:48 right now

[full fossil]

No matter what diagnostic I do I can't nail down what the hell is wrong with my PC!

[wispy marsh]

What's wrong with it?

Hmm, video scheduler

What I can recommend is a few things

1. turn off HAGS if it's enabled
2. turn off reBAR if it's enabled
3. safe mode DDU + nvslimmer

Well

[full fossil]

HAGS is already off.

[wispy marsh]

If he can't differentiate between nvram, sdram, gddr

Then it's futile for anyone to tell him about ram

[left mango]

google "GPU die shot" and point to RAM on the die

[wispy marsh]

sigh

a gpu has sram. A graphics card contains the pcb and the gpu

[leaden gale]

He's actually saying the opposite, but it doesn't make him any less pedantic and outright unpleasant

[wispy marsh]

The pcb has vram for the gpu (with the exception of hbm cards)

[wanton glade]

Cursing is allowed

[wispy marsh]

So yeah, pick your poison

[wanton glade]

No it's not

[full fossil]

@wispy marsh So yeah, reBAR and HAGS are already off. Is this now the right time to panic with the BSOD?

[leaden gale]

HBM cards have their VRAM on package, correct?

[wanton glade]

You getting banned for this one tho

[wispy marsh]

After a driver reinstall with nvslimmer? If dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth doesn't work, you can panic

[full fossil]

For now the BSOD is gone, but I am seriously concerned about the stability of my computer.

[wispy marsh]

yeah, the die and hbm are on an interposer, then on the socket

The interposer and the hbm chips are expensive

[leaden gale]

y e p

[wispy marsh]

They're about half the cost of the card to make

[full fossil]

I shouldn't have to deal with another BSOD like this ever again, like, for at least 10 years.

[wispy marsh]

I got my vega at $222 out of sheer dumb luck

[leaden gale]

Also, I was told by the individual in question that engineers working at NVIDIA and AMD would slap me for referring to a graphics card as "a GPU"

Nevermind the fact that these companies themselves use GPU as a colloquialism in their presentations and the like

[wanton glade]

Wtf

[wispy marsh]

If it starts smoking, take it back to the reseller

[left mango]

they don't

[leaden gale]

I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing

[wispy marsh]

When you talk to them, you talk to the support tech staff. When they speak to you, it's probably marketing that's doing it

I guess that can be why

[full fossil]

Being an asshole about grammar and colloquialism is cringe af and quite honestly borderline discrimination

“Oh you didn’t use the proper term you must have no idea what you’re talking about”
Bro’s gonna struggle in the work world

[wispy marsh]

No, no, don't shame people just because they're trying to be politically correct all the time

They can barely extrapolate from incomplete data

[full fossil]

How in any way is any of this an attempt at political correctness

[wispy marsh]

It trickles down

[full fossil]

Fair

In any case, gatekeeping discussion due to terminology is gross

[wispy marsh]

It trickles down

[eager venture]

I don’t know why,I haven’t even watched the show,but that sounds like a breaking bad quote

Sometimes I scream at night

🤔 amazon or disney or both is fucked up

70bucks a year to call your eccho dot hey disney instead of alexa

[wispy marsh]

[clear creek]

Amazing

[small zephyr]

🤔 to be honest that feels like a real ubisoft move from amazon and disney

[clear creek]

What did Ubisoft do

[small zephyr]

put useless microtransactions in for absorbitant prices

[clear creek]

wow

Scummy companies

[finite cloud]

Sheesh…I’ll stick with Echo and Alexa

[small zephyr]

i wish you could freely rename the eccho dot

[finite cloud]

They have another one for Samuel Jackson which is the same thing

[clear creek]

Lol

[finite cloud]

I was hoping you could but nope

[sharp leaf]

Got a new monitor. Anyone mind walking me through just making sure I do all the display settings and Nvidia control panel settings correctly. Currently have two 1440 monitors and my new one is same resolution but an OLED. I think I know what I need to do. Just would like someone to walk me through it. Tech setup is not my thing

[small zephyr]

cuz mine is stupid af and i always curse at her i wish i could rename it to a curse word

[finite cloud]

“Hey f🦆ker”

[small zephyr]

nah stupid bi.....

[finite cloud]

I wish you could rename Siri and Google assistant because I have more than one of each and they always get triggered when I saw the other one

[small zephyr]

me: "alexa wake me up at 12.00" alexa: "12 am or 12 pm"

[finite cloud]

Like I’ll want to talk to my nest hub and my minis go off instead

[small zephyr]

theres is no am pm shit here and 12"pm" is literally a second before it turns into 0

[lone dragon]

[finite cloud]

Alexa worked when I said 1400 but it asked if I wanted 2pm anyways

[small zephyr]

so basicly if i want a reminder for "12am" you would say set a reminder for 0

alexa is just a stupid bi.... thats why i wish i could call her like that

🤨 okay the games section of my city's multiple libares is bigger as expected

i bought tarkov from there but someone told me g2a is scammer

should i worry about it?

[full fossil]

always use https://www.allkeyshop.com/

[leaden gale]

Y'all really out here breaking Rule 9, huh

[surreal cargo]

It lists g2a too

[fossil parrot]

nope

it's a trusted website

[leaden gale]

G2A is grey market. They're not scammers, but you COULD get a bad key, in which case just bring it up to their support and they should get it taken care of

[surreal cargo]

Hmm

I bought tarkov and key worked but

I hope it wont go

[full fossil]

its not a bad deal if u save hundreds

[full fossil]

its a trusted site, im sure most of the people are using it

[surreal cargo]

How can i understand its bad key or not?

[full fossil]

if u can activate it, its a good key

[surreal cargo]

Ah alright

[full fossil]

tho i never had anyone get a bad key yet

[surreal cargo]

Then i should be okey and wouldn’t be worry about it

[fierce moth]

@full fossil I'm using raspberry pi os

[surreal cargo]

My friend scared me so much cuz of some sellers buys games eith stolen ccs and it deletes a while ago

[gilded quest]

Always use Linux if you can't afford Windows

[fierce moth]

Got 86mb ram usage on first boot

[jaunty compass]

I used to use it a lot and never had a bad experience

I switched to gamivo though

[full fossil]

i doubt that kind of scam is even possible with steam key xD that sounds more like some old minecraft key scam

[surreal cargo]

Bought from G2A to save 10 bucks

I hope i won’t regret

[full fossil]

how much u paid?

[jaunty compass]

What I used to hear was that Dev's accounts would be hacked and they'd sell the generated keys.
I assume that happened at least a few times but like
I don't think it happens often

[fierce moth]

And I got 172mb ram usage when plex media server is running

[full fossil]

host my minecraft server xP

[jaunty compass]

The main problem with G2A is that they basically have a gatcha game built into the website

I personally use gamivo most of the time

[fierce moth]

I have my own mc server

[jaunty compass]

I bought so many copies of fallout 76

[fierce moth]

It struggles with chunk generation

[jaunty compass]

When they were giving away fallout 76 through prime gaming, there were so many gray market keys

I literally bought like 20 copies of fallout 76 to troll a server

[full fossil]

use paper server, its super high performance version

[fierce moth]

I do use paper

[jaunty compass]

And it wasn't a small server either, it has 120k people

[full fossil]

OwO

[jaunty compass]

I colluded with the owner to troll people with like a dozen fallout 76 keys

[surreal cargo]

I’m safe then right?

[full fossil]

yes xP

[jaunty compass]

It was actually the Nintendo Homebrew discord server funnily enough. I got him to ping everyone in one of the chats with a bunch of Microsoft store keys and say it was a game giveaway.

But the trick was that every code there was for fallout 76

Literally all of them were fallout 76

The aftermath was quite funny

[fierce moth]

Ayo I'm in that server

[leaden gale]

Go read Rule 9 very carefully

[jaunty compass]

Do you remember that incident or did you not see it

[fierce moth]

Nope

[full fossil]

Until arch arm is updated to support my cm4 with Aarch64 I can't put arch on my pi

What does this have to do with protecting themselves from potential litigation

[full fossil]

not them, the official markets, that set their price to countries wealth to maximize profit :V

[crisp portal]

i mean i bought 3 dollar windows pro licences

[full fossil]

if its really illegal, they should sue them :V

[crisp portal]

i mean if i lose 3 dollars its not really a big deal

[jaunty compass]

At that point why even buy it

Microsoft basically gives the keys away

[crisp portal]

its $3 dollars its not really a big deal

[jaunty compass]

I get a lot of scrap laptops with like Windows 7 home premium or pro keys, and I usually just do the free upgrade calendar rollback to 10 to turn them into Windows 10 keys

if it was 50 then id not do that garbage

[slate tulip]

I mean, if someone makes a product, they have a right to sell it at whatever price they want. If they sell it too high and no one buys it, that's their fault

but no one is entitled to their product simply because it exists

[jaunty compass]

I keep a couple old laptops around just for fun tbh

Plex is having a fun time reading over 50gb worth of music

Idk what it is about weaker hardware that makes it fun to experiment with or trying to get it to do something

Like
Specifically hardware from the windows 7 era

google says g2a buys keys from the devs in bulk, thus having lower prices than buying single key directly from them, i dont see anything stolen here.

[jaunty compass]

There have been a couple incidents where devs were hacked and a bunch of keys were made illegitimately through their account, but that's very uncommon

That has only happened maybe a couple times ever

[leaden gale]

G2A is a marketplace though, not a seller unto themselves

They facilitate key sales from selling users to buying users

inb4 looking for pc technician

[slate tulip]

I don't know any of those

can you imagine working with people all day?

Like… to date? To hire? To mentor you? To sit still while you draw them like a french pc technician?

[graceful burrow]

I said Inb4 that means you can't ask

[slate tulip]

Why a “PC Technician” specifically? There might lots of people who aren’t technicians or don’t work with PCs that might be able to help you

[graceful burrow]

Look at their post history here

[slate tulip]

Why do you need a “PC Technician” for that?

How much are you offering?

[graceful burrow]

There's only one person here that I know that specifically builds pc's for a living

[slate tulip]

You should lead with your price

I certainly wouldn’t want to tbh
