dear kids, sit around and I'll tell you story about how I met your mother" kids did sit around their dady Sharpie. "So it's been excatly 15 years ago on Discord." Sharp started. One kid out of five interrupted him. "Dad... What's Discord?" kid asked. "Really dangerous place my son." He said and continued. "She was older than me, we actually had really good time and I told her and that's actually when I confessed her... I told her that he is special and asked if we will marry. She said yes. And that's kids how I met your mother"

[wanton glade]

Damn she did it

[kindred coral]

[wanton glade]

[kindred coral]

[wanton glade]

[versed socket]

y'all got any recs for LED light strips?

[fossil frost]

1. dont bother. 2. if you must bother, they are all the same

[versed socket]

yea but cheap ones burn out so much faster.

[kindred coral]

Horizon is even a name for person?

[kindred coral]

Someone came to be rude 💀

[versed socket]

wanna add them to my room but mainly for white light. room doesnt have ceiling lights

[fossil frost]

i use a cheapo one for non-pc related things, and its been running, on, for more or less 3 years straight, so far

[wanton glade]

Idk, it just sounds sick

[kindred coral]

Idk if I called my kid that way, may got some trauma or something.

Hell even my names aren't any better much

[wanton glade]

Yeah ik. Gonna call them after my parents

And my uncles maybe

[heady flicker]

horizon would be a terrible name

[fossil frost]

thats exactly what ive done with mine 😄 ... boxed all round the edge of the ceiling and the wall... with cutouts, and put 2 LED strips inside, split into 4 zones (1 zone for each wall), dimmable... and because its a set of LEDs, it costs almost £0 to run, so they just get left on and dimmed down at night and up in the day

[wanton glade]

Yeah especially nowadays ig

[kindred coral]

Mighty workiee

[unreal thorn]

My phone is at 59%. When I put it on a 5 watt wireless charger, it says 1 hour 49 minutes until fully charged. On a 15 watt charger, it says 1 hour 7 minutes until fully charged. I would expect more of a difference from 3 times the power?

I know it's not that simple but damn

[wanton glade]

Zakarya is a fine name in my opinion.

[heady flicker]

ignore the estimated charge time

[unreal thorn]

How much energy is being wasted trying to shove power into a battery that won't accept it

[fossil frost]

15watt charger doesnt mean your phone is capable of pulling 15w

[hybrid shell]

this tbh

[unreal thorn]

I know

But it IS capable. I looked it up

[kindred coral]

Remember that wireless chargers aren't that effective as cables, you get 75% power or something

[unreal thorn]

wired, it can even pull 25 watts, but my port died

[kindred coral]

Sounds... Actually pretty interesting

[unreal thorn]

I'm aware of that, I just didn't expect the power loss to have such an effect on 5 vs 15 watts

[fossil frost]

it may be "capable", but depends on how close to the spec the phone is, how close to the spec the cable is, and how close to the spec the plug is... also depends on the quality of the power in your house

[unreal thorn]

It's mophie

[kindred coral]

Actually it's a huge difference you're getting...

[unreal thorn]

That's less than a 2x difference from a 3x difference in power in the charger

[fossil frost]

sounds like you have a scientific experiment to do 😄

[unreal thorn]

I'm pretty naive to how power delivery ACTUALLY works so I believe it, but it's surprising

I do have a basic understanding of electrical engineering, though. I didn't go into the field but damn that's one of the most useful classes I've ever taken

[fossil frost]

run your phone down to exactly 50%.... plug in 5v 1a, look at estimated time... ensure its back at 50%, 5v 2a, note it down, and do the same thing for 3a. and then try the 9v mode (if it can take that). and note down what comes from it, then write an article about it for xda-dev or something like that 😄

[versed socket]

boxed them how? does that make them diffused?

[unreal thorn]

I'm certain someone else must have done that already

my usb charger is supposed to be able to deliver 5v 2a but it's only delivering 5v 1a

[wanton glade]

Ikr

[unreal thorn]

I kept it because it's useful for charging my phone over night and I don't really care

[fossil frost]

2cm thick, 8cm wide MDF, painted gloss white, mounted to the wall 8cm from the ceiling. and ran all the strips inside the gap between the MDF and the ceiling

and yes, it makes the light diffuse really well

[unreal thorn]

for something built so cheap it's well built. They put the resources where it counts

[kindred coral]

Because that's not how it works and that's because you still lose some power because wireless

[unreal thorn]

I'd prefer you ping me if you're replying directly to something I said

[fossil frost]

my der8auer ryzen3000/5000 custom mount is on its way, finally.. 😄 ready to drop around 10c from a very very simple cooler mount change

[heady flicker]

how does the mount work

ohh

[winter spindle]

Why would you run that

[heady flicker]

you have to delid it, don't you

[fossil frost]

the CCDs are not centred under the IHS, like they would be in any other CPU, they are spread out quite wide, and, offset down the IHS from the centre... so the mount moves the whole cooler down the board by either 7.5, 6.5 or 6mm (depending on what cpu you have, you need a slightly different offset)... and no, you dont need to delid it

moves the coldest part of the cooler over the hottest part of the particular CPU

[heady flicker]

interesting

is it compatible with the x3d

[fossil frost]

compatible with all 3000 and 5000 cpus

[winter spindle]

I have a laptop, and 5 game consoles

That’s about it

[summer folio]

6 Gaming Consoles?!?

[slate tulip]

I just don't even understand that this conversation anymore

[full fossil]

4 desktops, 2 laptops, blu ray, sound bar, tv's, phones, watches, toaster, fridge, toilet

[winter spindle]

I also have 1 phone

[slate tulip]

"the world doesn't need to ship goods anywhere, just let the truck drivers eat it all" - wut

[winter spindle]

4? Why

[winter spindle]

Makes sense to me

[fierce moth]

I have like 6 gaming consoles

Pc, and school laptop

[slate tulip]

suuure... I'm going to go back to real conversations now, not nonsense

[kindred coral]

Just?

[fierce moth]

And a couple of other things

[winter spindle]

PS4, switch, Xbox one, gba, wii, n64, 2ds, ps3

I have a lot.

Of consoles

[kindred coral]

I could buy a Switch instead of my gpu xdd lol

[winter spindle]

Yeah, and I replace it every few years and give the old one to relatives

[fossil frost]

switch is on its way out according to rumours

[summer folio]

3 PS1, 2 PS2, PS3, PS4, PS Classic, Xbox One S(garbage btw)

[kindred coral]

I do like fixing... So I buy and fix... Buy and fix... If possible

[winter spindle]

Oh damn

[fierce moth]

The new zelda game is gonna be the last one for the switch iirc

[winter spindle]

Yay switch 2

New star fox game please or I riot

[fossil frost]

the new zelda game is gonna be the same as all the previous zelda games, same as the previous zelda game was... but nintendo people will buy it anyway, because they dont realise that nintendo have the same 7 exclusives, and remake them 3 times per hardware revision, and for some reason, people still buy them

[kindred coral]

I do have very few comparing to you guys... Just ps3, xbox one s, pc, Oculus...

[winter spindle]

Because it’s good

[manic torrent]

because they are fun. And people want to have fun.

[summer folio]

Indeed. Just buy og Zeldo on NES 8-bit.
Link has brown hair. Everything else is non-canon.

[full fossil]

oh i forgot about my consoles

[ruby venture]

4080 comes tomorrow

[winter spindle]

Good for you I guess

[summer folio]

The TV-series Zelda was tho, excuuuze me Princess! 👸

[slate tulip]

I'm still confused about the whole "I don't need to use wired network connections, so obviously the entire world doesn't need to ship anything anywhere"

how do you even equate those two things?

[fossil frost]

i have about 5 different versions of mario kart. all identical except for newer ones look slightly better. same for mario its self

[manic torrent]

soooo you are the people you were talking about?

[fossil frost]

no, my kids are though

[summer folio]

Mario Kart Double Dash, have 2 player 1 Kart tho.

[manic torrent]

first, remove your brain

[full fossil]

through my nose please

[winter spindle]

Mario kart 8 deluxe best

[slate tulip]

ah, of course. duh

[summer folio]

in Mario Kart Double Dash, all character had their own special items
Like Koopa/Troopa had 3 tripple shell,
Baby Marios had giant ball dog etc.
Double Dash > All.

[winter spindle]

🍑

[winter spindle]

Nuh uh

8 deluxe

[summer folio]

Does each character have their own special?

[winter spindle]

No

[summer folio]

Can you steer only & your friend do all the battle mechanics?

[leaden gale]

What Mario Kart games have you played

[winter spindle]

64, Wii, 7, 8, 8 deluxe

[summer folio]

How did you skip the best one(Mario Kart Double Dash@GameCube)?

[leaden gale]

You can't give a truly informed opinion then, there's 4 games missing there

[winter spindle]

I also played the first one

Super Mario Kart

[leaden gale]

You still can't give an informed opinion

[summer folio]

Mario Kart NES 8-bit

[leaden gale]

Not a thing

[winter spindle]

Idk, I can emulate it

[summer folio]

[winter spindle]

It’s snes

[leaden gale]

Imagine gaslighting yourself into thinking there was a Mario Kart game on the NES

[manic torrent]

imagine gatekeeping mario kart

[leaden gale]

I will gatekeep against people giving uninformed opinions

[summer folio]

https://tenor.com/view/stargate-sg1-gaters-gonna-gate-gif-5358799

[winter spindle]

It’s Mario kart

[leaden gale]

I will freely grant that 8 Deluxe is probably the easiest to pick up. That alone doesn't make it the best.

[winter spindle]

It’s so fun and breezy

[leaden gale]

It's a pretty good game

[summer folio]

https://vgboxart.com/boxes/NES/67250-super-smash-bros.jpg

[vapid smelt]

the last mario kart i owned was for the gamecube

[manic torrent]

I have never owned a mario kart ... I think

The only nintendo thing I have ever owned was a DS

[leaden gale]

This mf just sent fake box art

[summer folio]

It's clearly real.

[manic torrent]

it has the seal and everything!

[vapid smelt]

Asked my mum to buy the Metal Gear game to NES* in grocery store as kiddo, & she did!

[dawn birch]

Super Metal Gear does sound like a fun time, tho

[winter spindle]

Metal gear for nes sucks

Get the msx2 version

Metal gear 2 is even better

[summer folio]

it is the only canon game for me.

[fringe sluice]

has gta been crashing for anyone like it loads and just freezes ive gotten the latest grapgics drivers

[winter spindle]

I’m a hardcore mg fan

[summer folio]

Maybe try GTA II instead. it's

[fringe sluice]

bruh fr

[dawn birch]

I actually have GTA 1 for the PSX

which iirc is technically The Most Complete Version Evar

since it has Liberty City AND Vice City AND San Andreas in one game

[manic torrent]

.... that's not GTA 1.

[dawn birch]

Thought it was, since GTA 2 was in Anywhere City

[manic torrent]

GTA 1 was top down. Damn kids!

[winter spindle]

GTA is for ps1

[full fossil]

gta 1 was very top down

[winter spindle]

Yes

[full fossil]

thats not gta 1

[winter spindle]

GTA San Andreas, 3, and vice cjty came later

[fossil frost]

gta1 was a game changer when it came out, and then gta3 was as much of a game changer as original gta was

[dawn birch]

it was, just needed score to get to the next area

[full fossil]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_(video_game)

[full fossil]

you right

Grand Theft Auto is made up of six levels split between three main cities; each locale is based on a real-life city in the United States, with an alternative name: Liberty City (New York City), San Andreas (San Francisco), and Vice City (Miami).

[dawn birch]

that said, I do recall it getting pretty... oof in terms of how you get to Vice City

[limpid hamlet]

Hii

[full fossil]

gta mightve been a fun game at the time but its hard to go back to older games and gta is denftly one of those

morrowind too, and i freaking loved morrowind at the time

[fossil frost]

people have rose tinted glasses for old games

[dawn birch]

OpenMorrowind (and about a few mods too) makes Morrowind a bit more palatable for non-super potion playthrough

[full fossil]

they used to have these bikini mods i cant find anymore that make me truly sad 😔

[urban zodiac]

have you tried menyoo

[full fossil]

... a gta5 trainer? lol

trainer being code for just, garbage malware you willingly install on your computer

just use cheatengine

or understand your system is compromised heavily

[small zephyr]

🤨 ebay sellers are cheating dicks

they avoid the 7days delivery requirement by "electronicly" anouncing it

like i have a package thats marked as bein shipped and is already waiting for 8days like: goods issue at the dealer

considering i paid for 2 days delivery its infuriating

[full fossil]

... dont pay for 2 day delivery on ebay for the love of god

i sell on ebay. i can only get to the post office if you order something before 11pm the next day, or youre waiting till the next next day. my post office also doesnt operate sat/sun so like.... those days just add to it

sometimes i just dont care cus i have 7 days to "ship" not 7 days to deliver

[dawn birch]

thankfully I can acknowledge business days from mail days

[snow jetty]

Hello everyone! I would like to ask you for advice on buying a gaming pc. I have a budget of around $700 CAD so I'm looking for a used computer. On MarketPlace, I found these 2 computers:

1. Dell G5 5000 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/543624997784015/
   the seller agreed to lower his price to me at $650

2. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1198801144098874/
   it comes with the computer, a keyboard, a mouse and a 24.5'' 240 Hz screen, all for $700
   I know that the best computer is the g5 5000, but considering that it is a prebuilt, should I rather choose to buy the second computer since it is in a bigger case, knowing that it is more easy to do modifications in a big case and that this prebuilt has its unique motherboard made for its case and there is not much space to upgrade the gpu?

I know the 2nd computer has an old GPU (GTX 1050) but I think that for the price, this setup is a pretty good price. What do you all think?

I’ve already come to terms with all my online data being sold

[dreamy rose]

we dont use facebook because its for 104 year old Granny Smith

also Cringe metaverse

[harsh wharf]

I have nothing to hide tbh so if meta wants to make money on the shitposts I look at on Facebook and the stuff I look at on marketplace then sure

Meta verse is cringe yes

[harsh wharf]

I know I should care but I just don’t

The email and password attached to my Facebook is seperate to everything else

[dreamy rose]

the term is cringe and we only have Social VR.

[harsh wharf]

What

I was agreeing with you

What are you trying to correct?

[dreamy rose]

Metaverse is a Buzzword and we only have Social VR titles like Chillout VR and Neos

inside them, you have games

[harsh wharf]

I’m aware

Also who is “we”

[dreamy rose]

everyone in the world

[summer folio]

Sorry, I only interact with privacy settings friends or friends friends. Not public posts.

[ocean narwhal]

There's a 4tb Crucial p3 on sale for $210 right now. Thinking about buying it to replace one of my M.2 drives (only have 2 slots) What would be an effective way to copy over all the data? Only way i can think of is to remove my m.2 OS drive so both data drives are in. Then boot onto a linux USB and copy them over. will that work okay?

[harsh wharf]

Did you have a stroke writing this?

[harsh wharf]

Seems a bit generous that you can speak for everyone ever alive

it is generous, we should all be grateful

[dreamy rose]

well do you see a software that completely replicates daily life in Virtual Reality?

nobody in the world has made it so nobody in the world has it

[harsh wharf]

Huh?

[dreamy rose]

thats what a Metaverse is.

[harsh wharf]

What’s a meta verse?

[dreamy rose]

it doesnt exist. it never will

[unreal thorn]

I read online that newer samsung smartphones don't sustain battery damage from being plugged in at a full charge. Given this, would it not be logical to leave it plugged in intentionally to avoid adding excess discharge cycles?

[ocean narwhal]

https://a.co/d/hMCOdi9 Are these any good? safe/reliable/etc. Could just use one of these to transfer the data?

[wary summit]

No, it does, but it shouldn't exist

[dreamy rose]

where does it exist?

[sonic barn]

does this mean I get 1$

[harsh wharf]

It exists the the meta verse

[wary summit]

i forgot, but china has it

i went on it for like 10 min got off

[dreamy rose]

China has Pico and Data collection, not the Metaverse.

[wary summit]

people were gtting rassulted

[pliant karma]

lol me too.

[summer folio]

Why?

[wary summit]

then how the fuck am i talking to you

[harsh wharf]

Nah mark Zuckerberg invented the meta verse and already lived there 24/7

[dreamy rose]

you must be thinking about VR Chat, Furthest thing from the metaverse

[vapid smelt]

it seems ok going of the reviews

[wary summit]

no this was VR metaverse

[ocean narwhal]

I think i'll grab that and maybe just use my 1tb intel p665 as a USB drive then. Either that or resell my intel for some cash back, would be like a $150 upgrade for +3 tb?

[wary summit]

what, are you trying to do??

[summer folio]

Never resell stuff, always reuse them.

[ocean narwhal]

Buy a new SSD, 4tb crucial p3 for $210. But I don't have enough m.2 slots to hold all the SSD then.

So I need to 1. swap data over, and 2. figure out a use for the old drive

[wary summit]

get a pcie card?

[dreamy rose]

the only way you can do that while being safe any is if your phone can stop charging the battery and power the phone though Wall power.

[ocean narwhal]

mini ITX case/mobo no room at all

[unreal thorn]

what?

[wary summit]

ok, so basically youll need an nvme enclousre to clone the drive

[unreal thorn]

oh

[dreamy rose]

VR Chat is the thing you are Describing. and its not it chief

[pliant karma]

I have 2 of them I use when I shoot on the blackmagic cameras. Works well enough.

[unreal thorn]

So I should still unplug it?

[wary summit]

wahts the metaverse again

[ocean narwhal]

Cool. Ok I'll just grab one of those to make it easy.

[dreamy rose]

a Virtual reality Replica of daily life.

[wary summit]

blackmagic > RED

[ocean narwhal]

Finally unlock some space on this pc. Running really low lately

[wary summit]

so, spending 23hrs on it and not touching grass isin't the metaverse?

[dreamy rose]

yeah.

[pliant karma]

^yes as much as I like RED they're just the assholes of the cinema camera community

[unreal thorn]

Please clarify. You're saying I should still unplug it like I always did?

[wary summit]

expensive as fuck

and no support whatsoever

[summer folio]

Sony Smartphones have a "Don't use battery, run direct from wall outlet option."

[unreal thorn]

whoah

[wary summit]

Like, if your gonna give me a free RED i'd film with it any day of the week, but ask me to pay for iinsurance and shit, nnahh black magic has 16K camera for the price of a 4K red

[unreal thorn]

so what, do they shutoff when you unplug them then, or catch that split second moment and use the battery

[dreamy rose]

yes. just unplug it. even though there are safeguards just don't try pushing it Overheating is a problem

[unreal thorn]

I am not concerned with overheating

[pliant karma]

Hell the blackmagic ursa mini pro 12k for what 6.3k with an in house sensor that is good.

[unreal thorn]

the phone will tell me if it's overheating

[wary summit]

Plus blackmagic is from melbourne (where i from)

[dreamy rose]

i imagine they wouldnt shut off. but its controled through software

[summer folio]

I think it worked fine.
Thiiink I used it like once.
(never play games)

[dreamy rose]

thats the whole phone. not the battery.

[wary summit]

and its so cute

[unreal thorn]

riiiight

[pliant karma]

oh nice. Only reason I want their camera is davinci resolve. I've had my fair share with adobe

[summer folio]

it's in the game settings option

[unreal thorn]

so what's the standard consumer line of sony smartphones?

I'll probably get a sony next

[wary summit]

adobe, Colours? what Colours you gotta pay a subscription!!!

[abstract sluice]

What’s a better store based on selection and prices: CDW, NewEgg, or Micro Center

[wary summit]

Micro Center has more sponsors

[unreal thorn]

The phone is only two years old though. I'll probably use it for another three

[pliant karma]

colors what colors oh yea what about fonts, taking away 2 of them I use

[wary summit]

Just download them then-

oh wait, you can't import them anymore

[unreal thorn]

it doesn't even look old yet

[timid meadow]

Microcenter is almost always the best option

[summer folio]

Sony Mark 1 II/III I have used, works fine.
Some apps like google gallery crashed little too often tho, I blame 21:9 screen.

[pliant karma]

little late cause I don't even remember what fonts I used lol

[wary summit]

unless amazon has an AMAZING deal

[summer folio]

4K OLED is a tiny bit unnecessary

[wary summit]

just a tiny bit

[unreal thorn]

I have a samsung galaxy s20 fe 5g

[wary summit]

i cant tell the diff from 2K and 1080p on my phone

[unkempt widget]

yeah because your phone is small

[unreal thorn]

the way I buy phones is that I choose the cheapest thing that's still water resistant

[wary summit]

TF

[summer folio]

Isn't 2K & 1080 ~the same thing?

[wary summit]

its like 6.9"

[pliant karma]

lol is it odd that atm I am paying for adobe but also I advocate for their software to be pirated

[unkempt widget]

did i stutter?

[polar fern]

🤔

[wary summit]

i pirate all adobe products

[unkempt widget]

also can anyone help me activate windows

[timid meadow]

Ehh depending on screen size. Im not unhappy with my ULED 4K, but the edge lighting can be off putting every now and again

[wary summit]

beccuse im a student and i aint paying $100

[unreal thorn]

so far I haven't had any problems with "cheap" phones

"cheap" being $700

[wary summit]

1080 & 1440

[summer folio]

4K OLED on Sonys Phones*

[wary summit]

thats not cheap

[vapid smelt]

@scarlet berry sue this man

[unreal thorn]

my last one was $400 and it gave me no problems either

[wary summit]

that lawyer will cost more than a subscriptuon

[unreal thorn]

I only spent more this time for water resistance

[wary summit]

this USD?

[dreamy rose]

idk if you are made out of money but 700 isnt cheap

[unkempt widget]

i have a key, i don't know what it is, and it says,
"We can't activate Windows on this device because we can't connect to your organisation's activation server. Make sure that you're connected to your organisation's network and try again. If you continue having problems with activation, contact your organisation's support person. Error code: 0xC004F074"

[timid meadow]

Fair. Definitely not much benefit to 4k anything on such a small screen

[tidal glade]

i gave in to the iphone after 8ish years on android

[wary summit]

bro your in china, just download a KMS

[unreal thorn]

hell no, I just see how expensive other phones are

[tidal glade]

last iphone i had before the 13 Pro was a 4

and they make android look so, so so SO bad rn

[dreamy rose]

well 700 isnt cheap. nowhere near

[unkempt widget]

what's that

[wary summit]

Windows Activator

[manic torrent]

so TLDR, you used an enterprise key belonging to somewhere else.

[unkempt widget]

where do i download that from

[wary summit]

Windows defender will flag it as PUA, because its literally pirating windows

[unkempt widget]

i got this pc from someone else

[wary summit]

depends

anyone else here used FIlecr?

[unkempt widget]

probably they used the same key for everyone, but windows has been activated before

it just randomly stopped after 3 or 4 months

[wary summit]

yea kms

[unreal thorn]

yeah I can easily believe it

it's just that I see this shit and then i see that mine was 700

$1,600

[dreamy rose]

all i need to Read is Apple and i know its a Shit price.

[wary summit]

We all know

Apple has shit pricing

[wary summit]

mine was $299

[unreal thorn]

I thought that of all things they would at least price their phones accurately 💀

[wary summit]

120HZ AMOLED E4

[unkempt widget]

no

[wary summit]

Snapdragon 870

[unreal thorn]

They're like, known for their phones

[unkempt widget]

anyways how do i download a kms

[wary summit]

12+256

[wary summit]

that sounds suicidal

[unreal thorn]

I capped my fps at 60 to save battery

[wary summit]

damn imagine not having Variable refreshh rate on a $700 phone

and imagine having it on a $299 phone

[dreamy rose]

its fucking apple dude. they are worth multi trillions. ya think they arent greedy?

[unreal thorn]

no, fuck apple

I just thought they kept their heads on straight for phones

[tidal glade]

what phone is this

[dreamy rose]

Apple doesn't have a head to keep Straight. its stuck up their asses.

[unreal thorn]

their iphone 13 is already down to $600? What is this nonsense?

[tidal glade]

they keep around the old models at a discount every time

[unreal thorn]

that's strong evidence to me that they're pricing it high just because they can

[tidal glade]

they make u pay for the new toy yes

most get it on a contract like i have

[dreamy rose]

its all the same anyway

[tidal glade]

so it says "this phone cost a thousand dollars" but you're paying 40 bucks a pop for 3 years

it's whatever

[unreal thorn]

What is a "real" price for a phone

[manic torrent]

I mean, that is how products work in capitalism, yes.

[unreal thorn]

for like a nice phone

[tidal glade]

a thousand dollars

500 really

[unreal thorn]

500 sounds about right

[tidal glade]

but for something that will make you say something besides "this is An Phone" it's a grand

[unreal thorn]

my $469 phone was beautiful

[summer folio]

Huawei & Xiaomi phones great stuff

Everything China really

[tidal glade]

god i miss my huawei honor 8x

best phone i've ever had on a value front

[unreal thorn]

I only 'upgraded' so that I could have water resistance. The $700 price tag was NOT pretty

[silver cradle]

Imagine paying $1k for a phone only for it to be irrelevant next year

[tidal glade]

think i paid 300 out of pocket for that

[dreamy rose]

i've only had budget and old flagships so i have no idea

[silver cradle]

Couldn't be me

[summer folio]

Also had Honor 8!
Worked like a charm

[unreal thorn]

I have to have water resistance because when I ride my bike my phone gets rained and snowed on

[tidal glade]

honestly the iphone 14 is so incrmental that nobody who has a 13 feels bad at all lol

[wary summit]

POCO F3

[silver cradle]

Idiots rather have the latest smart phones instead of having a great laptop/pc

[tidal glade]

are those available in the US??

[wary summit]

how everything is bud

[wary summit]

pretty sure yes

[silver cradle]

I had to rant bro

[unreal thorn]

Horrible, but (relatively) ok, you?

[manic torrent]

This is also why I have a Pixel 6 that I paid $475 AUD for

[dreamy rose]

imagine thinking like that. (i mean apple fans) but Androids will last you a good while before they become irrelevent

[tidal glade]

honestly i'm probably gonna use this hphone to start a youtube channel lol

[silver cradle]

Ong bro, it's apple that caused this

[manic torrent]

lol. iphones have a longer life than most android phones.

[unreal thorn]

My mophie wireless charger came today, it's very nice but I wouldn't have used fabric if I had a choice

[tidal glade]

it shoots in 4k.60fps and i got the terabyte model

[dreamy rose]

Custom ROMs

[unreal thorn]

Hard plastic is the way

[sonic barn]

no?

[manic torrent]

yeah I am talking about actual support.

[tidal glade]

ehhhh i dunno y'all most value android phones are really underpowered

[sonic barn]

lineage os

[manic torrent]

yes. facts.

[dreamy rose]

S7 still getting Custom ROMs. android 13

[sonic barn]

same thing as android latest

[manic torrent]

normal users aren't installing custom roms.

[tidal glade]

whereas a 5 year old iphone is still leagues faster than most androids

[sonic barn]

normal users for apple have to pay for everything too

[manic torrent]

that is a ridiculous argument.

[tidal glade]

just a processing power thing dude

[manic torrent]

things cost money

[sonic barn]

imagine not even having access to a file system aka ios

[dreamy rose]

thats a dumb idea to throw around

[manic torrent]

.... it really isn't

[tidal glade]

check the benchmarks lol

[unreal thorn]

I'm a total normie when it comes to phones

[tidal glade]

and try using a 5 or 6 year old android vs a 5 or 6 year old iphone

as someone who recently got off a moto g5 from like 2016 that thing was dogballs

[unreal thorn]

The least normie thing about how I use phones is that I scoff at iphones and install some customization apps

[sonic barn]

I'm using a pixel 3

[manic torrent]

oh man it must be SO SLOW

[sonic barn]

nope

[unreal thorn]

No

[sonic barn]

its on par with surface pro x

[tardy thorn]

I have a pixel 2xl and its actually still decent

[sonic barn]

sort of since its the 845

[unreal thorn]

I had a pixel 3 a couple of years ago, it was a good phone until I water damaged it

[vapid smelt]

my old co worker used his Samsung s3 till 2022

[tidal glade]

a pixel 3 also cost a thousand dollars??

[sonic barn]

I dunk it in water all the time

[manic torrent]

... obvious sarcasm isn't as obvious as I thought.

[manic torrent]

That doesn't invalidate it vs what you are saying though.

[unreal thorn]

Autism 😂

Genuinely not obvious to me

[full fossil]

I now officially have a desk

[manic torrent]

the all caps didn't provide a hint?

[unreal thorn]

No I use it for emphasis

[sonic barn]

@manic torrent I gave my brother my old iphone se and the thing was fast in 2019, now its sluggish and you can't even install new apps on it because its limited by the ios version

with android 12 on my pixel 3 I am still able to install all recent things

[manic torrent]

yes, but it was also completely against everything I had been saying up until that point 😛

[sonic barn]

its the latest version of android

[wary summit]

fr in china rn

[median idol]

Which desk do you got?

[manic torrent]

The concept that "omg all androids are X" or "omg iphones blah blah" are mostly garbage. iphones long term support has historically been far better than any android phone, and it's only recently that pixels and other phones have had long enough support to rival it.

[sonic barn]

I'll argue android holds up better than ios

[sonic barn]

samsung is like google pixel

[full fossil]

Facebook marketplace desk that I overpaid for

[tidal glade]

a pixel 2 is like, 3 years older than the oldest SEs (meant to say a P3 is 2 years newer i'm illiterate)

whoops i can't type

a pixel 3 is newer than the SE by a few years

[manic torrent]

yes, but it wasn't before.

[west sage]

Is the 3080 founders edition the worst 3080?

[manic torrent]

no

[tidal glade]

Dell_3080 dot jpeg

[vapid smelt]

dell made a great 3090

[wary summit]

they made a 3090?

[sonic barn]

linus did a vid too on it

[wary summit]

oem ofc but damn

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8k5PCmFm7c

[tidal glade]

(pace salsa voice) DELL MADE A 3090?????

[wary summit]

intel A770

[manic torrent]

The thing is - if you prefer an iphone, use an iphone, IDC. If you prefer android, IDC. The reality is that in 2023, the best value phone is an android OR iphone that is 1-3 generations old depending on your budget. They all now have long enough support and etc that they are fine. you can compare benchmarks etc, but the reality is that rarely is the cpu power of the phone a specific limitation.

[sonic barn]

android is the best for development and open source

to release an app on the appstore you need a mac

[wary summit]

Android is the best for everything basically

[sonic barn]

android is linux

[wary summit]

and $99

[wary summit]

iphone is FreeBSD

[manic torrent]

android is not linux. android is a bunch of stuff that runs ON linux

[vapid smelt]

unless you want a powerfull cpu/gpu

[manic torrent]

I've developed for android.

[wary summit]

that you cant really do anything with

[manic torrent]

both of these takes are wrong.

[sonic barn]

talking about the kernel

[wary summit]

Termux

[manic torrent]

which is neither here nor there, really

[wary summit]

yea i'd like to see termux on iphone

[tidal glade]

android is super useful when you want things to run smoothly on moderate/almost random hardware

[wary summit]

yes, but what can you do with that power

Most games are 720p or 900p max

[sonic barn]

clash of clans and royale are supe high res now

[vapid smelt]

gross phone gamers

[wary summit]

yea, but its not gonna dip below 120hz on my phone

[tidal glade]

i have a 40 dollar chinese TV box that runs android 11 and i think its the coolest thing ever

[sonic barn]

qualcomm dumb

[timid meadow]

Theres a few mobile games taking advantage of it. Not many rn. But we arent that far from mobile gaming becoming normal with cloud streaming and stuff

[wary summit]

Thats 100% fake android 11

[sonic barn]

hoping for the windows deal to die
