[jaunty compass]

Phones sell for way more than they're worth at the high end
Those companies are making a ton of money

[polar fern]

everyone be like "i got this used android phone for $20"

so i dunno what ya talkin bout

[unkempt widget]

and i bet it still works really well

[fossil frost]

the answer is, its your money, spend it however you feel... dont ask us to justify your decisions for you... do what you want and just deal with it

[jaunty compass]

I got my pixel 3 used in great condition for $100

So yeah

[polar fern]

and?

[burnt bone]

Android phones used to have a few things against iPhones. Something to plug in your headphones into, easily expandable storage, easy modifications.

But those are mostly lost in today's phones. So the reasons to own an Android gets diminished a lot

[jaunty compass]

That's a good thing for me

[sweet jetty]

Everyone has their own opinions, some customisations help you save time, like I personally switch all animations to 0.5 so pretty much everything seems faster.

[wise tundra]

I was offered 100€ for my 800€ (when new) phone

[jaunty compass]

Phones depreciate fast regardless of brand

[wise tundra]

Reselling Android phones is what it is

[burnt bone]

I'm a Linux guy and I totally 100% understand why someone would go for an iPhone

[wise tundra]

That sounds contradictory

[jaunty compass]

I understand why someone would use an iPhone

I just look down on them for it

[nova violet]

Can android do a set of instructions when clicking both up and down volume

Like activator in ios

[sweet jetty]

I mean, everyone has their usecases, if iphones suit you better, it makes sense

[sweet jetty]

Automate exists

[polar fern]

the ios/macos integration and unified usert experience is one thing i enjoy with iphone, but its not like i gravitated right to the iphone, i always look at competitors and compare always, and iphone just works best for me, and for most people who just wanna use a phone and not use it as some hobby it also works

[wanton glade]

💀

[sweet jetty]

I have the entirety of the apple ecosystem devices and i like everything but the iphone because of the lack of customisability and some crucial apps I use

[jaunty compass]

I'll tell you what killed iOS for me personally.

Lack of sideloading support; I used an iPhone 7 when it was new and I had to jump through all kinds of hoops just to play GBA games on it

[nova violet]

I'm trying to avoid the hobby because phone customization is making me unproductive for some reason

I spend hours and hours customizing it

[jaunty compass]

Because Apple doesn't allow emulators on the app store

[burnt bone]

Yeah it kinda does. But when Android phones start to limit what you can do to your device by locking you out from turning off or uninstalling unwanted apps like Preinstalled Netflix and Facebook, even via ADB, what's the point of an Android?

[nova violet]

I thought you can jb iphone 7

[polar fern]

because apple wants their stuff to be secure -and not a hobby-

[fossil frost]

how about... self control...

[nova violet]

That's the thing, I can't

[burnt bone]

I'm sorry but Android phones are shit. They're iPhones without the performance of iPhones and software fluidity of iPhones

[jaunty compass]

Oh yeah, companies are going to be forced to allow you to uninstall pre-installed apps now, thanks EU

[burnt bone]

Sincerely an Android and Linux user

[wise tundra]

Fair enough. My next phone will be the Volla Phone 22. Native support for dual booting. They even have a nice GUI for it.

[jaunty compass]

The EU out here making pro consumer laws and I'm all for it

Even though I'm not in the EU, they still benefit me

[polar fern]

volla 22?

[nova violet]

Is rooting stilil a thing

[jaunty compass]

Yeah

[wise tundra]

A small German phone maker.

[sweet jetty]

That's your opinion my g, from an iPhone, android, mint, windows and macOS user 🗿

[nova violet]

Why not just root your android phone

[fossil frost]

yep, and in some phones, its a toggle in the developer options in the settings

[burnt bone]

Not for bootloader locked devices. A lot of companies are just straight up locking out the ability to do so

[wise tundra]

I can't

[nova violet]

Oh dear

[jaunty compass]

If you lock the bootloader
I have two words for you

Fuck you

I'm sick of so much anti-consumer bullshit being normalized

[sweet jetty]

Ikr

[burnt bone]

Whatever you say

[small zephyr]

nice and all that the ender 3 got open sourced but dang getting bltouch on my 1.1.4 board is going to be anoying

[jaunty compass]

Personally, I'm already at the point where if there's anti-consumer restrictions and shit like that on a device, I don't buy it

[wise tundra]

I have a Huawei P30 😭 There is a known kernel exploit that uses suid shit but my phone just happens to have that file with the wrong prems

[sweet jetty]

Thankfully samsung devices aren't bootloader locked, I'm not sure of the super new ones but from the ones I see, they aren't

[polar fern]

this is pretty cool

[sweet jetty]

Holy hell that's sick

[jaunty compass]

Ubuntu touch moment

[fossil frost]

the problem is, most people dont care, because they just want the phone to be able to send messages, make calls, and be more expensive than their friends phone so they can swing their dick about it... so they dont care if it can be rooted, or if they have to jump through a bunch of hoops, or, they have to pay a subscription for basic features

[wise tundra]

It's really nice. When on sale, the phone, a case, screen protector and shipping total 450€

[polar fern]

is that related to the cocoa touch api at all?

[jaunty compass]

If you flex how much money you wasted on a device that will be outdated in a year, you're an NPC

That's like

I'm not gonna sugar coat it, you're a bozo

[dreamy rose]

Apple fans

[fossil frost]

thats what a lot of people do...

[polar fern]

bro i use my phones for like 4-6 years gtfo here

[wise tundra]

Ubuntu touch is just a mobile device distro of Ubuntu but it's not actually run by Canonical

[small zephyr]

i for myself just brougth an xiaomi mi 10t pro for 200bucks

[jaunty compass]

Those people have an IQ the room temperature of alaska

[polar fern]

oh you got the 10t after all?

[jaunty compass]

💀

[fossil frost]

same sort of people you see "playing" in the apple store, they are not there to buy anything, they are there to get an instagram photo of themselves holding the latest ipad

[burnt bone]

Yeah well that's how markets work. The same reason why Adobe forces you to pay ridiculous fees.

The market incentivises fucking over people, if it brings in more profit, it's good. Companies will literally do the most inhumane shit if there's no law prohibiting them from doing so.

For example, BMW likes to tout their political correctness as a selling point. But the moment you find out what they were doing 1939-1945 you'll see through their shit.

[wise tundra]

Gotta go to work. Bye.

[jaunty compass]

[dreamy rose]

Pantone

[polar fern]

@wise tundra see ya

[small zephyr]

yeah the deal on the 11t was gone when i wanted to get it so i was left with the other option

[polar fern]

F

[small zephyr]

and now i got a snapdragon 665 i aint complaining

[fossil frost]

i agree up to the bmw part... bmw now are not the same people or company as they were in the 30s and 40s...

[polar fern]

the 12 was the one with the ipc dust/splash thing right?

[small zephyr]

🤔 i needa get another phone tho i need a phone with an snapdragon 645

[dreamy rose]

i have a Snapdragon 450 in my phone ehich i havent had access to

[small zephyr]

if an phone got an snapdragon 645 on it you can put windows 10 on it

[jaunty compass]

You mean 845

[polar fern]

neat

[small zephyr]

without issues

[jaunty compass]

Pretty sure you mean 845 and above

[small zephyr]

argh righ i always confuse the 6xx with the 8xx series

mine was the 865 right

[dreamy rose]

i just want DeX like stuff on my phone NGL

[full fossil]

how to root iphone to get hax in roblox

[burnt bone]

The point I was making is that, markets do not have any moral limits. There's no reason to not push the boundaries of what's acceptable if it brings in more profit.

I guess a more recent example would be BMW on Pride Month in USA vs Russia lol

[polar fern]

i dislike windows with the power of 1000 suns but almost anything is better than android at this point 😄

[small zephyr]

but an windows 10 powered smartphone where you can play realy basic games on is kinda nice

[jaunty compass]

Delete sys32

[full fossil]

ez

[small zephyr]

like you may be able to play counter strike or half life 2 or something still fun

[polar fern]

youd want a semi larger screen? like 5.2 inches?

[full fossil]

if windows was far more optimized and light I could see it as a viable phone os

[fossil frost]

yeah, i agree that the market has no morals at all... but the point i was making is that you cannot judge people or places or companies by things that happened in what is now the FAR past... BMW were in [4 letter word im sure is banned] germany at the time, they sort of didnt have a choice

[jaunty compass]

I want a phone with an unlocked boot loader, high end specs, and a replaceable battery, and expandable storage

[small zephyr]

there are super leightweight modded version of windows 10

the windows 10 install on my laptop takes around 4,2gb space

[full fossil]

well i know that

but it gets rid of a lot of things

sometimes apps use files but they're gone :P

[fossil frost]

EU has its laser sights pointed on batteries right now... replaceable batteries is in the near future

[dreamy rose]

good lick getting that

[jaunty compass]

Phone batteries not being replaceable easily is why I don't consider phones devices I'm willing to spend any more than $200 on

[full fossil]

I miss having a replaceable battery

[jaunty compass]

Because I know in a couple years it will be kinda unusable

[small zephyr]

🤔 why are games like house flipper or powerwash sim so anoyingly satisfying?

[jaunty compass]

So I don't bother actually getting something high end ever

[burnt bone]

Yeah that's not gonna happen. Good luck lol.

AT MOST you can call up MediaTek, purchase an OEM license to produce one of their premade designs, modify it a bit, get in touch with FoxConn, and you'll have your own branded phone

[fossil frost]

they will be making a comeback in a few years

[polar fern]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions#Mobile_Enterprise

[full fossil]

i had a samsung galaxy j7 that every time I dropped it the back popped off and the battery came out :)

[jaunty compass]

Good

Right now batteries are the biggest problem in modern electronics

[dreamy rose]

they should be focusing on Shitty software first of all. eg, banning EGS, Fixing Windows etc

[neon mesa]

i have that game
oddly satisfying, until it comes to grass
fuck grass

[jaunty compass]

I have a phone from a few years ago, the LG G5
It had everything I'm describing right now

[fossil frost]

they are focused on reducing physical waste, especially ewaste

[small zephyr]

gamepass version sadly doesnt have the dlc

[jaunty compass]

Replaceable batteries, high end components, an unlocked boot loader for non carrier models (fuck you sprint) a headphone jack, and a 1440p display

[neon mesa]

4 days ;-; (and yes i'm stealing the game)

[jaunty compass]

The LG G5 is a phone I still have as a backup media device

[jaunty compass]

[small zephyr]

kek cyberbug is cheap af

i brought it like 2weeks after launch on sale for 25bucks

[dreamy rose]

80 AUD? Nah fuck that

[jaunty compass]

I might play cyberpunk eventually since now it's actually decently optimized and has settings for steam deck

[fossil frost]

and you are living in 2-years-ago... cyberpunk runs fine now... its still incredibly short... and not at all worth full price, or even close to it... but its not buggy anymore

[jaunty compass]

It also cost $30

[full fossil]

I might play it because it's basically a futuristic gta5 with a different story

[jaunty compass]

It's $30 on gog

[fossil frost]

probably still not worth it

[dreamy rose]

i'll play it when i dont have a million other things to buy

[full fossil]

or you could always pirate it for free

[fossil frost]

£20/$20, it would be worth it

[full fossil]

same lol

[polar fern]

i saw a few cyberpunk playthroughs on twitch - seems kinda fun if youre into that sci-fi shooter genre

[neon mesa]

never speed through an installer
last thing you know you got AVG or even worse, McAfee installed

[polar fern]

ew avg

[small zephyr]

30bucks on humblebundle as well

[dreamy rose]

More intrested in Alyx ngl.

[fossil frost]

too expensive

[jaunty compass]

I don't pirate most games anymore

[polar fern]

i has teh norton, but im' not very fond of it -_-

[jaunty compass]

Unless it's Nintendo games

[fossil frost]

i played it through and it lasted... 8 hours... at the most... and i was dicking around for some of that too

[small zephyr]

nah cyberpunk is a somewhat goodish experience nowadays

its not so fucking messy as on launch

[full fossil]

same, I'd need to buy a headset first, and a bigger room

[dreamy rose]

if i wanna play a game i'll download it. but i'll try find ways to buy it for future

[neon mesa]

not gonna lie
i'm cracking CP2077 rn just so i can max my 3060 lmao

[polar fern]

cyberpunk still has some glitches, but its mostly visual/cosmetic not playability/functional

[dreamy rose]

again i come across a lot of stuff you cant buy/ Abandonware or Nintendo soo

[small zephyr]

what game doesnt have bucks nowadays

[polar fern]

ah yes, abandonware, the more angering cousin of vaporware

[dreamy rose]

True. Undertale needs Microtransactions

[jaunty compass]

how is that more angering?

[small zephyr]

and to be true its mostly impatient gamers and investors fault it realised at such a state

[jaunty compass]

at least abandonware comes out

it just gets abandoned

[unkempt widget]

211x365x24=1848360

[small zephyr]

but thanks to that the ppl know know what happens if you cant wait

[unkempt widget]

12/1848360=0.00000649224
france has an rpm of 0.00000649224

[small zephyr]

thats why hogwards legacy got delayed

and no one complained

[polar fern]

because at least with vaporware you dont get the thing actually here and then taken away

[dreamy rose]

it was announced in like 2011-2012 dude.

[unkempt widget]

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

a typical hard drive is 5400rpm

[small zephyr]

from an studio that never did a project as ambigious and different genre as well

[fossil frost]

completely forgot... i have an RGB toilet now... 😄

[small zephyr]

going from 3rd persion action rpg to first person shooter isnt that easy

[dreamy rose]

how much RPM is a Typical Ur Mom?

[unkempt widget]

so it's 8.3 times slower than the average hard drive, and since the average hard drive can transfer files at 75mb/s

[small zephyr]

oooooof my filament guide is almost done

[polar fern]

wat https://www.harddrivesdirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=712008&gclid=CjwKCAiAoL6eBhA3EiwAXDom5j5HDj7UVSbUt4nDHqy8X3MWwu9S0mV2u73vpmEDvvfKgiJx2HqJmBoCvlQQAvD_BwE

[jaunty compass]

gamers would almost almost rather wait for a good game then have a bad game come out sooner

but publishers want their money the instant development starts and want that return now

so games get rushed to market and end up disappointments

[dreamy rose]

Make it red so you can Piss into the portal to hell

[unkempt widget]

france would transfer at 9.04x10^-9 megabytes a second, or 0.00904 bytes a second

[small zephyr]

nope they only say it NOW after they saw the cyberpunk fiasco for most part

[unkempt widget]

so over the last 211 years, france would've transfered 60mb of info

[small zephyr]

ac unity fixed a little bit but the coffein in the nail was cyberbug

[unkempt widget]

if france was an hdd

[fossil frost]

its set to unicorn vomit right now, because it has no instructions 😄 ... only bought it because we saw it in the hardware shop and the kids thought it would be hilarious

[young lake]

just finished taping my bed on my 3d printer hope it works well

[jaunty compass]

personally i always had the sentiment of waiting for a good game

[grim ether]

Makes sense

[ocean narwhal]

How do I get the fire explorer with tabs?

Is it just a windows update or smth? My task manager is also visible older than the newest windows 11 install one's look like

[polar fern]

TITAN Dragonfly 4 CPU air cooler

i kinda like that one

[fossil frost]

i think so, it sort of just turned up one day after some updates

[polar fern]

i dunno bout this one https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/ninja-cu-front-large-jpg.72464/

[ocean narwhal]

Oh I can update to 22h2

apparently that update has it by default

[burnt bone]

Goofy ah cooler

[dreamy rose]

how the fuck do you get 22H2? never actually works

[fossil frost]

are you on supported hardware for win11? i had issues on my friends PC that we used the win10 method to get win11 on it, and it wont upgrade to 22h2, but will get all other updates fine

[dreamy rose]

not 11. 10.

[fossil frost]

ah ok... fuck knows, it should just be fine :S

[ocean narwhal]

im on 12600k so i should have supported HW

it's downloading rn anyways we'll see if it works

[polar fern]

bbl

[dreamy rose]

nothing i can do except reinstalling will actually get it to work. but i need to keep this install cause i don't have my phone to get my discord back

[fossil frost]

have you tried stopping the windows update services, nuking the update cache, then restarting win-update?

[dreamy rose]

yes. everything

[fossil frost]

ah ok... well.. that sucks 😄

[slate sparrow]

Could cool an average chromebook

[dreamy rose]

not even an Intel Atom

[river vector]

any toughts on Vg27aq?

[dreamy rose]

monitor

[river vector]

yeah

for FPS games mostly

[ocean narwhal]

Damn, upgraded to 22h2. Got the explorer with tabs so thats good, it gave me the ugly task manager tho, ill gotta get used to it

[slate sparrow]

Looks like it could cool something

Unless it’s bad

[timid meadow]

So whats the tech tip for using a 25-50ft Ethernet cable without it being a mess? Theres gotta be like a hose dispenser but for techies

I say 25-50 but in reality its a 25 and a 50 but one might get the chop chop while i practice crimping. But i need to use one of them again just not that far and its a mess

[dreamy rose]

i would be lying if i said Athlon at 1 Watt doesnt sound intresting.

[slate sparrow]

It would cool that def

Maybe a 200MHz Pentium

[dreamy rose]

mate a fart would cool it for months

[slate sparrow]

lol

[dreamy rose]

idek if its possible to set Wattage that low

[slate sparrow]

I saw a janky i9-10900k cooler

[slate sparrow]

Probably could

[dreamy rose]

if it is possible. is it gonna kill it

[slate sparrow]

Just down clock it

I was told you can’t kill a processor by undervolting it

My service fucking sucks when I send a message it doesn’t load

[dreamy rose]

welcome to Australian Internet

[slate sparrow]

I live in America

[jaunty compass]

You know what's kinda 💀

[slate sparrow]

i hope it’s stable now

[jaunty compass]

The copium when people like the gcloud

[fierce moth]

Bloody hell

I woke up randomly at 3 am

And now I can't sleep

[slate sparrow]

I think the network is congested is probably why it’s slow

[dreamy rose]

Android handhelds don't have reason to exist

[slate sparrow]

Androids are cool anyway

[jaunty compass]

This is wrong

But the gcloud is objectively bad

It's overpriced and on underpowered hardware

[slate sparrow]

So are iphones

[fierce moth]

They can be good if they have decent specs

[jaunty compass]

Even for an Android device, it has terrible specs

It can't even do basic GameCube emulation. Modern Android devices can do basic switch emulation, and will eventually probably be able to do it really well once the software matures

The G cloud is genuinely shit

[wispy marsh]

Can i use a H series motherboard to test two graphics cards?

[jaunty compass]

If it has 2 pcie 16x slots, sure

[dreamy rose]

a good phone does good Emulation. all you need are the controller add ons

[wispy marsh]

No no not simultaneously

I have two rtx cards that i need to test and i only have a h81 system to test it with

[jaunty compass]

Why would you not be able to?

[fierce moth]

What if that's unviable?

[wispy marsh]

Because one is pcie 4 and one is pcie 2

[jaunty compass]

That still doesn't change anything

You still use them

[wispy marsh]

Huh

[jaunty compass]

Pcie is backwards and forwards compatible

[wispy marsh]

Alright

I need to dig out my seasonic cables

[dreamy rose]

you can still get a Good phone and use it to do emulation. plus you are talking about something no normal person would buy. you think people would be in that Situation?

[fierce moth]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[jaunty compass]

Pcie devices are able to basically switch modes to older pcie versions so they are compatible with older boards. The only thing that would make a pcie device incompatible is that newer graphics cards may not work if you don't have a UEFI bios

[wispy marsh]

I think i have a uefi bios

It's a H81 mobo

The bios is blue and black i think

[jaunty compass]

You should be fine

[wispy marsh]

Alright

I'll test it when i have time

[polar fern]

Seems legit

[wispy marsh]

Is there a way to tell if a gpu is working by smell?

[grim ether]

If it's making a smell then it's probably not good

[hollow pulsar]

um. Why?

[fast elm]

well I can tell how long its been since I dusted inside my case by smell when the gpu gets warmed up

[wispy marsh]

I dont want to open up my server just to test two random gpus

[grim ether]

Bruh

The lengths people will go

[wispy marsh]

They look beat up idk if they are working

[fierce moth]

Ain't that usb a on a input device?

[grim ether]

My case doesn't even seem to get dust anymore

[fast elm]

more pusher than puller fans?

I forget what its called, positive something

[grim ether]

Yes but I also swapped the front panel and added a 3d printed thing to block dust

[fast elm]

ah

[polar fern]

@fierce moth it’s for power

[wispy marsh]

So a Mac Pro

[grim ether]

Before then it was sucking in dust

Just be mid design

[fierce moth]

Still, usb a shouldn't be used for power input

[fast elm]

when you think about it, our mouths are like PC fans that also suck in dust.

[wispy marsh]

You have more intake fans than exhaust fans, it creates positive air pressure

[fierce moth]

As the stantand doesn't support it

[grim ether]

Lian Li Lancool II-X, swapped to a Lancool II mesh panel, with 3d printed thing at bottom

[wispy marsh]

Your nostril and lung hairs are the air filters

[grim ether]

Lung hairs???

[fast elm]

lungs are hairy?

[wispy marsh]

Your lung pipe is hairy

[grim ether]

What the fuck

[wispy marsh]

I forgot the proper term but it's not oesophagus

[fast elm]

that looks like an esoteric insult

but could also be biologically correct 😄

[cosmic coyote]

Ur mums sucked more than dust though

[wispy marsh]

It is correct

[fast elm]

[polar fern]

Mac Pro? @wispy marsh https://youtu.be/DVqObWoB80g

[wispy marsh]

Most likely nidec server fans

They look oddly similar to my gentle typhoons

[polar fern]

They’re deltas

[cosmic coyote]

Is that a server

[wispy marsh]

Delta 4800's?

[polar fern]

It’s a Mac Pro 1.1 so basically yes

Erm hmm let me look

[wispy marsh]

Those things are like 20~50w fans

Freaking monsters

[fierce moth]

Is it just me or did tab groups get removed on chrome android

[polar fern]

I’m gonna have to pull the thing out & look

[wispy marsh]

I have it on safari

[polar fern]

One sec

[wispy marsh]

Nah just snap the back of the fan

Model's there

[polar fern]

It’s not accessible

[wispy marsh]

Nidec servo delta fans

[wispy marsh]

You've got modern tools with antique hardware

[cosmic coyote]

What on earth is that

Ram?

[polar fern]

Fully buffered memory modules

On riser cards

[wispy marsh]

Never seen buffered memory before

All the memory i've seen are unbuffered regular and ecc's

For a while there i thought it was a SFP+ NIC

[polar fern]

Yeah they get a bit toasty

[graceful burrow]

It's definitely not my first pick

[fossil frost]

11

[slim mirage]

messages be taking a long time to send

[fossil frost]

(an example of the sort of insane answer bing will give to a seemingly simple search)

[slim mirage]

epic

[polar fern]

Chonk

[fossil frost]

"Google is a company based in california"

use whatever search engine you want, its just that bing is bad at being a search engine when what you are trying to find is simple

like "amd drivers" brings up the cnet pages before it brings up amd.com

[polar fern]

https://www.unitelectronic.com/product-detail/6889755-afb1212hhe.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAoL6eBhA3EiwAXDom5ljYV9lfR0VKXlMNNPQa601-GyVHLasDYQxiq1LrnA1lRhQNICTzFBoC2lQQAvD_BwE

[fossil frost]

dunno, google probably... its up to you, do some research and find out what suits you best

[polar fern]

2900 rpm, 120 cfm

[wispy marsh]

The hubs and fan design look awfully like nidec servo's

[polar fern]

They’re 100% delta fans. All 4 in the 1.1 Mac Pro are deltas

[fossil frost]

rip out the motor, replace with a RC 2200kv brushless motor and ESC 😄

[polar fern]

Slots in

[wispy marsh]

The image on the site doesn't fit the fans you have

[polar fern]

I know

Apple has a special spec from delta

[wispy marsh]

Also, 5.5w should be able to blow most mobo headers

[fossil frost]

0.46amps? cant most motherboards do 3 amps on the fan headers now?

[polar fern]

This is from 2006 my friend

[fossil frost]

ahh... then yes... probably gonna be setting your board on fire there 🙂

[polar fern]

Nah

[fossil frost]

or have a very slow fan

[polar fern]

See YouTube link above

980 watt psu

[wispy marsh]

Oh, phanteks T30's are 4.3w

That means my fan header is pulling 9w

[polar fern]

The fans have a dedicated power cable from the psu

[fossil frost]

not really... the fan SHOULDNT pull more than the board is capable of delivering

if the fan and the board are built correctly that is

[polar fern]

Keep in mind this is basically a server in a fancy box

[wispy marsh]

Headers are 12V/1A

So unless I add a third T30 to the same fan header, I am more than not likely to be fine

[polar fern]

The board is like 18 inches by 10 inches

[wispy marsh]

I'm more interested in the red pcb gpu

It's a sign that the user is old

Oh wow, back when apple actually dealt in server hardware

They scrapped their server hw & sw division a long time ago

[wispy marsh]

Yep, the waifu

[fossil frost]

Ruby

[polar fern]

So dusty 😳

[wispy marsh]

Deshroud and add another of those delta fans on top of this baby

[rancid dagger]

Hey Guys i have a question i cant decide should i get a Ouclus Quest 2 or Pico 4 or a Sterring wheel i have had a lot of sterring wheels but i kinda like both i do not have an unlimited budget if you guys can give me your opinion

[wispy marsh]

My driving equipment were free

[graceful burrow]

I'm just waiting until he posts it to 5 channels, I've seen 3

[rancid dagger]

sorry bro no one been replying

[wispy marsh]

Across servers?

[graceful burrow]

Skill issue

[rancid dagger]

Be nice Bro 😦

[graceful burrow]

This is the nicest I've been all day

[rancid dagger]

ohh shoot sucks to be near you then JK

[wispy marsh]

I have not seen dvi on a new gpu in a looooong time, save that it's even two

[graceful burrow]

Idk what I did that's mean

[wispy marsh]

iirc my RX480 and GT720 has them

The GT720 can play stardew valley at 1080p

It's amazing

[polar fern]

Not bad for 17 years old

Ltt screwdiver is legit

Loud nose. Sorry 🤣

Anime

[fluid ridge]

that's a really long URL with a bunch of identifiers and trackers

[dull osprey]

Ok, never heard of that

[fluid ridge]

really?

[dull osprey]

Anime, I would search animation

[fluid ridge]

you should consider watching

anime is animation but japanese

[dull osprey]

aren't they animation

[fluid ridge]

shit is peak 🧑‍🍳

[dull osprey]

oh ok, I see, no I never watched

[fluid ridge]

it claps western animation

you gotta watch

[dull osprey]

aren't they for kids?

[fluid ridge]

absolutely not

steven universe is for kids

attack on titan is for absolute chads

[wispy marsh]

picrew.me

[dull osprey]

what do you recommend to watch as the first experience ever

[fluid ridge]

do you have netflix?

[dull osprey]

yes

[fluid ridge]

if you have Netflix watch Demon Slayer

after demon slayer watch attack on titan

that's a rabbit hole you're never climbing out of 🫡

and dont watch dubbed anime 🤓 you gotta read the subtitles

peak JP va

[dull osprey]

Noted!

[leaden gale]

Don't make me tap the sign

[dull osprey]

I always watch with subtitle

[fluid ridge]

based

[dull osprey]

and OG Language

[fluid ridge]

gigachad daniel

[slate tulip]

I don't watch anime - solved!

[fluid ridge]

tragic

[leaden gale]

Dubs are not inherently bad

[mild elm]

Dubs > subs

[dull osprey]

I don't have much time maybe 1-2 hours per week! I usually watch series

[mild elm]

I don’t want to read the subtitles

[fluid ridge]

thats enough

anime is around 20 minutes per episode

[dull osprey]

I prefer the original sound in any situation

[fluid ridge]

you can easily fit 3 episodes into an hour

if you have 2 hours you can easily fit 6

[dull osprey]

great

[fluid ridge]

each anime season generally is only 12 episodes too

sometimes this will change, with the longer ones being 24-30

[leaden gale]

Usually varies between 12 and 24 in my experience

[fluid ridge]

yeah

[dull osprey]

Is mega man considered as anime?
I saw that as a kid

was looking similar to these pics

[fluid ridge]

no

what is mega man 🗿

[leaden gale]

There was a Mega Man anime?

[fluid ridge]

oh yeah

that's anime but thats for kids

dont watch that

[leaden gale]

Mega Man is a series of platforming shooters made by Capcom

[dull osprey]

I was kid when Watched that

[wispy marsh]

If you like cute anime, I have a few suggestions

• senko the fox
• lucky star
• K-On
• Kobayashi
• School days

[fluid ridge]

bro demon slayer bout to blow your balls out of the water

[fluid ridge]

idk if someone new to anime will enjoy slice of life

[dull osprey]

Not sure what I like yet but thank you!

[fluid ridge]

watch demon slayer first

if you need a free link i can send you one

[wispy marsh]

Not everyone is incorrigible

[fluid ridge]

just use adblock

[dull osprey]

Is death note anime?
I've heard someone said watch that also

[leaden gale]

Yes, Death Note does have an anime

[fluid ridge]

death note goes hard as hell too

one of the instant classics

but watch demon slayer first

[dull osprey]

wdym?
If they're on Netflix, I'll watch there

[fluid ridge]

ufotable animation will blow your pants off

[fluid ridge]

not every anime is on netflix unfortunately

[dull osprey]

I have HBO

[leaden gale]

I'd honestly recommend the first season of AoT first, though I've never watched Demon Slayer, heard it's a banger

[fluid ridge]

nor is it on HBO

Crunchyroll is your best bet if you want legit anime

[wispy marsh]

I also recommend

• yu yu hakusho
• hunter x hunter
• goblin slayer
• spirited away
• school days

[dull osprey]

Disney +

[fluid ridge]

but you have to pay for it

[fluid ridge]

you saidf school days the first time around

[leaden gale]

Disney+ doesn't have any anime unless you count Star Wars Visions

[fluid ridge]

nope

crunchyroll

[wispy marsh]

[dull osprey]

Thanks

[fluid ridge]

https://crunchyroll.com

hunter hunter was my first anime

because xQc was watching it on stream

[dull osprey]

I'll start with the ones that are in Netflix

[wispy marsh]

I think mine was happy tree friends

[dull osprey]

then if liked anime, I'll go to get a paid service

[wispy marsh]

It's a good show

[dull osprey]

Since I've been watching movies for years!

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, my little pony and happy tree friends

[fluid ridge]

or i can send you a free website

[wispy marsh]

Not everyone likes them though

[fluid ridge]

i have never paid a dollar for anime

[dull osprey]

I see

[dull osprey]

Since I'm an animator, I prefer to pay for their work

it's very hard to make them I promise you

[fluid ridge]

i like the ethics 🫡

better man than i am

[wispy marsh]

Ah, berserk and code geass is amazing

[fluid ridge]

beserk anime was kinda mid no? and code geass is like 86 but worse

[wispy marsh]

Yuru camp is one of my favourites

[dull osprey]

Do you watch movies or just anime?

[fluid ridge]

anime can have movies

either part of a series or standalone

[dull osprey]

hmmm

[fluid ridge]

but i do watch movies sometimes yes

most of the time its related to anime

[wispy marsh]

Yes, The Last Airbender is an anime that has a movie

[fluid ridge]

for example, jujutsu kaisen 0

or demon slayer mugen train

[dull osprey]

Death note that netflix made was awful

the movie I mean

[fluid ridge]

now is a great time to watch demon slayer by the way, season 3 is coming out in april 😎

people have been waiting 3 years

[wispy marsh]

Oh yeah, speaking of movies, the MLPFIM movie was pretty good

[fluid ridge]

what is that

[wispy marsh]

Horsies

[fluid ridge]

[wispy marsh]

If you don't mind english-speaking characters, I also recommend the Lord Of The Rings

[leaden gale]

Imagine not wanting to watch LotR because it's not Japanese lmao

LotR is goated with the sauce

[wispy marsh]

oh, tengen toppa gurren lagann

[fierce moth]

I don't watch tv

[dull osprey]

If you ever wanted to watch a TV series, I recommend starting with Dark

[fierce moth]

Ngl documentarys are relaxing

I listen to them

Or retrospectives

[wispy marsh]

I've only watched one documentary in the last few years

It was followed by an hour of action scenes

iirc the title of the film was Avatar: The Way Of Water

[fierce moth]

Well my tastes never made sense, I like classical and docos

I'm not exactly your normal guy

[gilded quest]

i should try nebula/curiosity stream for their exclusive docs

[fierce moth]

I stick with the abc

Australia broadcasting corporation

[leaden gale]

Holy shit LMAO

[true orbit]

this is a little weird of a question but if anyone knows itll prob be in here: anyone know if you can print addresses with a label maker and then send it off to be mailed or do you need a certain type of label maker for that purpose?

[jaunty compass]

i'm watching the new ltt roast video and i love all of the funky solutions here

it reminds me of how i build systems lol

[past egret]

human colonialism and its downfall

[wispy marsh]

English*

[past egret]

well they were all kinds of ethnicity in the film so

[jaunty compass]

[past egret]

mostly american

except for the fisher guy

and some unmemorable characters

[jaunty compass]

i haven't seen it tbh

[past egret]

its ok

watch puss in boots if you have to watch either

[sweet jetty]

Hihi

[fierce moth]

They should do another roast of linus Sebastian

Like that hour long roast

[blazing goblet]

I wonder if they actually hate trident z royal, or it’s just a running joke

[leaden gale]

I'm gonna keep it real with y'all: Trident Z Royal doesn't look good

The glittery effect on the RGB is insanely gaudy, and so are the mirror finishes on the silver and gold heatspreaders

Trident Z RGB and Trident Z Neo look a helluva lot better

[gilded quest]

the royals are awful

[fossil frost]

once something like that has been done once, its hard to find the material to do it a second time on the same person

[leaden gale]

They should roast Luke instead

[ocean narwhal]

its ugly

[fossil frost]

its horrible, everyone knows it, and it gets used because its funny to use it in places where it really shouldnt be

[polar fern]

👍

it looks like its gonna fry my pc

[long briar]

as long as the address is readable and has every part of the address in it it'll be fine

[pliant karma]

never liked them ngl too. I will never like them so lol

[long briar]

if you can hand write the address and they can figure it out, a labelmaker will do just fine

[pliant karma]

oh @polar fern you have the mx vertical iirc?

just got it but so far it is not bad to get use to. I just got to get use to me having mis clicks

[sweet jetty]

It'll take a bit of time

But it's sooo much more comfy

[full fossil]

🥷

[pliant karma]

confirm it is I miss the side scroll wheel but I can always use my master 3 when needed for that

If I kept my master 2s teal then oh it would be a complete collection for the mx master but

[velvet marsh]

I miss my mx anywhere, RIP buddy

[grim ether]

1, 2, and 3 are fine but wtf is 4

Abomination mouse

[leaden gale]

MX Vertical

[pliant karma]

he will be missed

so far rocking 3 mice on my setup so it's hectic

[glad dove]

hello

[wise tundra]

It feels so weird that you can buy an SSD for 20€ nowadays

[tight python]

Hello, didn't know there was a discord server til I decided to Google it lol

[wise tundra]

Just ordered a 120GB PNY SSD for my dad's old laptop and it was 18€

[plush rivet]

Now you know, welcome

[fierce moth]

I highly doubt it will have a dram cache

[fossil frost]

will still be better than whatever was in there before

[fierce moth]

Doesn't dramless ssds have worse performance than hdd's in some cases?

[fossil frost]

in artificial cases, designed to show that.. yes

in real world, no

[graceful burrow]

They do, you can feel it on windows

Not so much on Linux though

[eager notch]

I put a dramless ssd in my grandparents 10 year old desktop and even 6 months later, they talk about how much faster it still is

[urban zodiac]

is jailbreaking an iphone illegal

[fossil frost]

no

[graceful burrow]

It's against their terms of service but no

[fossil frost]

apple want you to think it is... but its not

[eager notch]

Even if it was, it's like piracy, you're not going to get in trouble for doing it

[urban zodiac]

isnt piracy illegal though

[fossil frost]

jailbreaking your phone isnt illegal...

[graceful burrow]

Yes, that's a horrible analogue kek

[urban zodiac]

i mean piracy

i remember those 90s ads of piracy

that you can go to prison for it

[fossil frost]

piracy, IF you get caught, and IF you were making money from it, is likely to get you a fine... at most... and both of those IF's are very very small

[gilded plinth]

legal where I live unless making profit from it

[fossil frost]

in a lot of places, its the uploading that is illegal, not the downloading too

[urban zodiac]

if you make a website with pirated games, for example steamunlocked, and you put ads on the website etc. and make money from it. that is illegal right?

[fossil frost]

yep

[urban zodiac]

but steamunlocked is so known, why havent it been taken down

[full fossil]

Yo I was resetting my computer, it got to 32 and the laptop just shut off

32%

[graceful burrow]

32 what

[fossil frost]

their servers are in a location where that particular government doesnt give a shit

[graceful burrow]

32 bingbongs and it just turns off

[full fossil]

Downloading Windows from clouds I chose, and then I just left it

[fossil frost]

32 yards

[full fossil]

Then ig was installing windows , it got to 32%

[urban zodiac]

smart move

[full fossil]

Then it just died

What the fuck do i do

Is my laptop bricked forever now

[fossil frost]

just try again

[full fossil]

Try what

[fossil frost]

installing windows

[full fossil]

It's not even fucking turning on

[fossil frost]

then it sounds like you have a dead battery

[full fossil]

I can see the red light for charging

[full fossil]

Charger has been plugged in for the last hour

[fossil frost]

pull the charger out, press and hold power, make it fully power off that way, plug everything back in, try and turn it back on

if its possible to pull the battery in your laptop (one of the rare ones that still do) pull the battery too

[graceful burrow]

That kind of stuff is so far removed from this situation it's unreal

[rugged orchid]

Am I the only one who gets stared at by my friends when I show them LTT and vibe to the intro

The intro is like the best vibe ever

[fossil frost]

no, anybody who did that would have people looking at them like they were strange

[rugged orchid]

Really you don’t vibe to the intro

[graceful burrow]

I skip the intro

[rugged orchid]

Kinda cringe

[graceful burrow]

To watch it, yeah

[fossil frost]

so is dancing to an intro to a youtube video

[rugged orchid]

When did I say “dancing”

I said vibing

[fossil frost]

same thing, just remaining sat down

[rugged orchid]

Anyways

[fossil frost]

in fact, to be brutally honest, you are lucky your friends dont throw things at you

[rugged orchid]

Oh i just unfriend them people

[fossil frost]

they dont need to be your friend to throw stuff at you

[winged basin]

[rugged orchid]

One guy trew a metal water bottle at my friend at my school once

[winged basin]

does this metal water bottle happens to be called a hydroflask?

[rugged orchid]

He got away with a warning… somehow

[fossil frost]

that is commonly known as "being at school"

[rugged orchid]

No

[rugged orchid]

Maybe in the us

[fossil frost]

friend of mine once lit the gas main on fire at school

[grim ether]

Nice

[fossil frost]

im not in the US

[rugged orchid]

Canada?

[grim ether]

Friend of mine ripped a urinal off the wall

[fossil frost]

wrong continent

[winged basin]

keeps people warm

[fossil frost]

made the teacher swear too 😄

[rugged orchid]

European

[winged basin]

good shit

[fossil frost]

there are a lot of countries in europe

[rugged orchid]

Oh yeah that’s always funny

[grim ether]

Europe not real

[rugged orchid]

Yeah but I am guessing continents now

[rugged orchid]

Where do you live

[winged basin]

Let me guess for em, Atlantis

Second child to none of the king of sea

[rugged orchid]

Ok

[grim ether]

Cadana

[winged basin]

Close enough

[rugged orchid]

So like. America but if it was Europe

And maple syrup

[grim ether]

Eeeeeew

America

[rugged orchid]

They aren’t that bad

Nvidia is there

I think

[fossil frost]

come to think of it... we once stole a bunch of magnesium ribbon from chemistry class too, and lit it on fire... it melted the part of the road we dumped it on... 😒

[rugged orchid]

So that probably why you feel that way

[rugged orchid]

We don’t judge

[manic torrent]

I do

[rugged orchid]

When your parents ask what you did at school and you say nothing interesting

[rugged orchid]

Skill issue

[fossil frost]

we had those switches for PFC on the back of all the computers too... people switched them to 110v all the time, blowing the PSUs on our 220v mains 😄

[rugged orchid]

Ok

[winged basin]

You guys really do like burning stuff...

[fossil frost]

its what we spent most of our free time doing

[rugged orchid]

Ok

Bye

[winged basin]

last thing I burn was an ant, with a magnifying glass.

[pliant karma]

yes. I burn wasp nest around my house

[sonic barn]

Good

If a wasp goes inside you have to burn the house down

[molten drift]

Ugh... I hate at work when I ask. Hi a is completed should I now do b ,c ,or d and they respond with yes please.

Not I. I watch real drag races.

[pliant karma]

good old axe and flame torch

[sonic barn]

Do you want me to reset the database or migrate it first?

Them: "yes"

[molten drift]

Literally... Should I go back into queue, review emails, or do I need to send an exception email.

The. Response yes

[sonic barn]

Yes to all?

That's dangerous

I get if ur asking constantly "what do I do", but most of the time you end up working with others and need tasks else you just sit there doing nothing

[pliant karma]

turned on my nexux 6p again. the stopwatch still is running now for the past 3.6 years

getting close to 4 years

[candid hound]

Core isolation on or off, how much performance hit?

[fossil frost]

extra security for almost fuck all performance loss

[runic lagoon]

Mean while 360 hz gamers are disabling antivirus and ripping 3/4 of windows, 2/3 of drivers out just to remove a few nano seconds of lag. 😂

[full fossil]

guys whats the best 60% keyboard, at around £70 ?

[runic lagoon]

In high school, a friends brother, made napalm and ended up burning a hole in the road by accident. His mom was pissed. 😅

[young bloom]

how do you do that by accident

[fossil frost]

ha, nice 😄 tbh, ive forgotten half the crap we did, i hated school, really hated it. was bullied constantly for being good at stuff.... but some of the best stuff was some of the nuts things that happened in class or was stolen from class

[runic lagoon]

By being a complete idiot. But now he works for a bug tech company.

[young bloom]

i see

[fossil frost]

you make it on purpose, and expect it to only burn a little, then it accidentally burns a much bigger hole than you expect

[young bloom]

no i thought he made napalm on accident

[runic lagoon]

What bizz said.

[fossil frost]

like... a friend of mine who was convinced that "aftershave isnt flammable ... its only flammable in the bottle".. so he poured a bunch on his head... and put a lit lighter near it, and his hair immediately caught fire... and he then used another friends leather jacket to try and put it out... and said other friend... punched the guy in the face while he was on fire with a jacket covering his head

he was "accidentally" set on fire

[runic lagoon]

My school also had a cd burner back when they were super expensive. It vanished a month after they got. They never figured out who took it. But the whole school had boot leg cd.

[polar fern]

Don’t put flammable liquids on yourself, or other things that could be damaged by flame or heat

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[sonic barn]

Hair is also flammable

[polar fern]

Burning hair smells like crispy death

[fossil frost]

when doused in aftershave, which is mainly alcohol, hair is SUPER flammable

[runic lagoon]

I also knew a guy who asked a woman to cut him. And said thing was done. Ended with a ambulance. People so stupid stuff all the time.

[polar fern]

I am sure the woman was very impressed

[runic lagoon]

Honestly that’s Darwin Award level. But I hope they are ok.

[fossil frost]

he had singed hair and a slight bald patch for a few weeks

[polar fern]

It was very fun opening up my Mac Pro like that I haven’t done that in a very long time

[runic lagoon]

The dude was lucky. Super lucky.

[polar fern]

Unfortunately, it’s also extremely dusty

Heatsinks need cleaning

[runic lagoon]

The Mac Roos last for ever. Like people would just keep upgrading them.

[fossil frost]

tbh, its one of the least stupid things that guy did

[sonic barn]

Cut what?

[polar fern]

Some folks just never get that little sprocket in their head that keeps them from doing dangerous things

[sonic barn]

That's called thinking before acting

[runic lagoon]

Teachable moment 😂

[polar fern]

Self-preservation try it sometime

[ruby venture]

My pc gives me a fail to boot message but then still boots a minute later

[fossil frost]

this is the same guy who cut a bunch of magnesium ribbon up... tried to light it with a normal lighter... while holding the magnesium fragments... and... immediately dropped it when it caught fire... and.... dropped it... ON HIS FOOT... it started burning through his new shoes, and he tried to kick it off, and then took the shoe off, and it burned through to the inside, and half way through the bottom of the shoe before it went out on its own.... guy was a walking advertisement for vasectomies

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[runic lagoon]

Thermite scares me.

[fossil frost]

ive made thermite, its awesome

[graceful burrow]

Damn he panicked lmao

Yeah I wonder

Good thing that stuff is logged

[fluid ridge]

i dont think you can log reactions and unreactions

[graceful burrow]

You can

[manic torrent]

you can log anything.

[sonic barn]

Username makes sense

Spamming

[fossil frost]

ty mod 🙂

[manic torrent]

it's ok, we understand you're doing the best you can with your extremely limited capacity

[fast elm]

muted gets boring gray color, nice

[graceful burrow]

Thank you mod

[manic torrent]

I worked out an easy way to mount my monitor crucifix, so hooray! 😄

[full fossil]

oh?

[fast elm]

is a monitor crucifix some kind of three-monitor mount? or actual religious iconography on your monitor?

[ruby venture]

Asrock have a booting issue?

[graceful burrow]

In general? No.

[fast elm]

I wasnt expecting something that big lol

[manic torrent]

bit of wood wedged between it and the garage door track

[full fossil]

oo nice

[graceful burrow]

I know you're going to replace the motor but have you tried that small one?

[ruby venture]

I think they do. I have one and I looked it up on yt and people have the same problem. It says failed to boot but then goes black and then loads me in

[manic torrent]

not yet - It will absolutely work as is, but I will see if I can find something heavy to put on it and try

[full fossil]

why do you want to be able to raise and lower 3 monitors

[manic torrent]

why do anything? because it's cool

[fossil frost]

why ask if you are just going to ignore the answer and tell us why you think you are right?

[full fossil]

fair enough

[graceful burrow]

You know what you'll find if you search that same thing with any other brand?
The same fuckin results

[manic torrent]

wall mounted sit/stand setup. I will likely replace the desk at some point

[full fossil]

that's pretty awesome

[manic torrent]

holy confirmation bias

[ruby venture]

Yeah probably I was just wondering if anyone here had encountered it

[full fossil]

who has a rubber mallet I can borrow

[manic torrent]

AND... the PC crane. Although the cost for that is adding up rapidly

[graceful burrow]

That's the word I was lookin for

[manic torrent]

I do words good

[ruby venture]

What is that

[full fossil]

is that when people are more inclined to believe something they already think is true?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah

[finite cloud]

The answer? Both

[full fossil]

ok

[manic torrent]

confirmation bias, the tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one's existing beliefs. This biased approach to decision making is largely unintentional and often results in ignoring inconsistent information.
