[dreamy rose]

the radiation from Nvidia Causes cancer and thats why people still buy it

[unkempt widget]

(i usually play with cap on 120 because my gpu would get hot

[dusty depot]

I live in Japan, otherwise I'd get one more monitor for my setup. Japanese houses are tiny and I don't have the room for another.

[manic torrent]

3070 was perfect for the 3440 ultrawide, was mainly an issue when I went to 4k

[pliant karma]

so confirm your current rig is a 5700x/3080ti, before was a 5800x/3070? lol renaming some files

[full fossil]

gpu doesnt matter for monitor count (unless you're doing nvidia surround or something)

[stray island]

the 3070 is outdated pls stop recommending this card

[full fossil]

nobody recommended it

[stray island]

[dusty depot]

one of the programmers I used to work with didn't understand loops, he copied and pasted the same line of code thousands of times, then manually made tiny changes to each line. It's grueling to think back to what I used to deal with.

[full fossil]

[winter spindle]

[lament willow]

[lament willow]

[unkempt widget]

no you idiot, polio isn't a vaccine, polio is a virus

[stray island]

polio is bad for you jackass

[dusty depot]

You want to know what my mother did? Before I turned 18, I had a part time job. My mother knew about it and insisted that she store all my money into a savings account so that I could go to university.
I ended up paying for university out of pocket because she was actually taking my paychecks to the casino while I was working.

[dusty depot]

Can we not talk about vaccines and stuff here?

[stray island]

well the next day i had a 101 fever so yeah ur right

[dreamy rose]

i never said they were, i said Apple Fans know not what they speak

[lament willow]

but my friends do

[stray island]

we got 10 vaccines one week, then 4 weeks later we got the 2nd dosage of those 10 vaccines

[dreamy rose]

if they did they would use something thats not Apple

[stray island]

and we had to take a bio virus pill or soemthing

[dusty depot]

It's just such a hot topic and I feel it'd only be mentioned to cause arguments.

[full fossil]

[lament willow]

I’m partially inside

iphone + windows laptop

[stray island]

is apple is bad then how come almost everyone owns an iphone

[dusty depot]

I watch louis rossman a lot, and some of the history of apple that he goes into detail about would make your head spin. Such a terrible company.

[lament willow]

because they’re idiots

[stray island]

no they arent

[dusty depot]

Buyers remorse is real.

[stray island]

people just like apple get rekt/owned

[lament willow]

they just buy whatever their friend gets

[unkempt widget]

20% of the market own an iphone

[stray island]

just saying china has its own little social credit score type deal goin on

[dusty depot]

I prefer android 100% over iphone, but I'd be lying if I said iphones aren't somewhat impressive.

[unkempt widget]

in my experience, the 20% figure is quite accurate in china too

[manic torrent]

[dusty depot]

I don't like how they scan your stuff without you knowing.

[full fossil]

that's awesome haha, could you send a video of it working?

[unkempt widget]

wow you really think chinese children have time to work?

[dusty depot]

Like, I know WHY apple scans peoples images, they are looking for illegal material,
But the idea of someone having the ability to look at my personal images without me consenting or knowing about it is absolutely terrifying. Like, what else are they looking at?
I've had to scan legal documents and stuff, and I don't need the very real possibility of some employee at apple headquarters jotting that info down.

I trust apple employees with the same level I'd trust a Denny's dishwasher.

[golden talon]

damn thing hasn't even shipped! I got it functional with the RC motor, but it was a bit shit, so waiting on the stepper.

[dusty depot]

Oh, I didn't even realize you were going to motorize it. That's cool.

[manic torrent]

It already is/was, it just wasn't powerful enough

[dusty depot]

Could have just attached a gearbox and lower it for extra torque.

[manic torrent]

gearbox costs as much as a high torque stepper, and I needed a high draw controller anyway 🙂

[dusty depot]

Ah I see.

[manic torrent]

$100 of motor+controller, $130 of rails and screw kit, wood I mostly had already, arms I had already.

[dusty depot]

For me, it'd be much much more expensive.

[manic torrent]

I build stuff that is moderately expensive, but looks very expensive 🙂

[dusty depot]

I'd have to buy an entire wall.

(My walls are paper)

[manic torrent]

I mean, with a bit of work you could run this as a floor to ceiling beam

although you'd probably want to use hardwood for that

[dusty depot]

I might consider that. Would you mind remembering who I am, so that once this is fully operational, I can see a video of it working

I'm really interested in this project.

[manic torrent]

I spam my shit constantly for e-fame and internet points, so you don't have to worry 😄

[dusty depot]

lol

I've wanted for a while to better automate my coffee machine. As of now, I have to prep the machine with water and "the beans". I'd like to eventually automate...
"the beans".
Also, the water.

[manic torrent]

I have so many projects, but I love designing and building stuff. The next step after that is the PC crane.

Also the fascia for the monitor lift

[dusty depot]

When the monitor rises, do the two smaller monitors go inward?

[manic torrent]

The whole crossbeam rises - each monitor is on a seperate monitor arm and is independant. I am thinking I want to link them so the side monitors are basically fixed vs the large monitor

[dusty depot]

That's a good idea.

I've often considered having my desk as a workbench as well, but with the monitors and laptop basically unable to move, it's not possible - though I still use it as a workbench anyway, and thus, my desk is a mess.

My daughter loves to put things on my desk too, which doesn't help.

[manic torrent]

haha yes.

oh, my son comes and grabs things which were right next to me and hands them to me 😄

[dusty depot]

Anything she breaks, she'll put on my desk for me to fix. I have so many broken Christmas ornaments and toys on my desk.

lol

My daughter also really loved wearing my headphones, so naturally now I need a new pair of headphones. Dx

She discovered that they don't twist.

Of course, I already knew they didn't twist. 😭

I had to get a file cabinet with a lock on it, as well, if I leave my computer for even just 30 seconds, I HAVE to lock my system.

I created my own lock though because I don't like typing a password.

[manic torrent]

hahahaha yes, I am the same. he just comes and bashes the keyboard

[dusty depot]

I created a low level keyboard hook that intercepts all inputs. Can't even ctrl + alt + delete until the system considers itself "unlocked" - which can be done through USB, with my phone, or a macro that involves both the mouse and keyboard. I thought it was neat.

That way the can click and type all she wants, nothing will happen.

No incorrect password system locking either

[full fossil]

bro today I found out about whats app.

i tried talking to my classmate, but for some reason he doesn't have imessage.

no joke legit first person I met at uni without imessage.

[calm thunder]

I forgot I was in here…

[sonic barn]

I never used it

[calm thunder]

“For some reason”

Is that reason that he doesn’t have an iPhone by chance?

[dusty depot]

I was never a big fan of imessage.

Do they still display to the other party whether or not you've read their message?

I hated that. Absolutely hated that.

[calm thunder]

If you have read receipts turned on, yeah. But you can turn that off.

[sinful moat]

Some carriers do that automatically now.

[dusty depot]

Like "yeah, I glanced at your message while I was on the road, I haven't had time to stop and reply yet, hold on for a bit"
People thinking I'm ghosting them.

[calm thunder]

So turn it off, I guess?

[dusty depot]

If I don't have time to stop and reply, what makes you think I have time to stop and change the configuration settings? xD

But yeah, I get what you're saying.

[full fossil]

yeah idk bro has some weird phone.

no imessage. I am not using whatsapp it looks like a virus.

[dusty depot]

I haven't used imessage in years, and it wasn't really a problem, I just remember it was annoying at some point.

[full fossil]

he's an international student or something, idk. first person I met with no iphone.

[dusty depot]

What kind of viruses have you been downloading that look like that? 😛

[full fossil]

bro even my prof uses imessage for offical anncouemnts.

[calm thunder]

Where are you from? I’ve seen plenty of Android devices around.

Usually Samsung.

[full fossil]

i gotta tell my classmate though about the annoucements, cuz he doesn't get it for some reason.

[dusty depot]

That's disgusting, ngl.

Iphone hell.

[full fossil]

bro i am just gonna have to make a new GC for my studygroup.

[calm thunder]

I don’t see why he wouldn’t be able to? iMessage can send SMS.

[full fossil]

cuz bro it keeps messing up the stuff, like bro joins and I can't even send big files no more.

[dusty depot]

Do you speak the way you type?

[full fossil]

yuh

[dusty depot]

Is it because you use Iphone?

[full fossil]

nah it's just how i be speaking

[frozen hemlock]

I have a question

[calm thunder]

I’m just confused as to how you’ve never encountered an Android device until now?

[frozen hemlock]

If I transfer my hdd with the games to a different pc I can just link my game files back to steam or epic games right?

[dusty depot]

I don't like iphones personally. I've used them in the past, but once I switched to Android, I can never go back.

[dusty depot]

Yes.

[full fossil]

nah bro i use to rock a droid as my off brand phone.

i would use it to read pdfs

[frozen hemlock]

Ok thank you.

[full fossil]

how do i make imessage work for my boy, cuz if not than i gotta make a new GC.

[frozen hemlock]

I needed to reset my main drive

[calm thunder]

Android doesn’t get iMessage.

That’s probably why he wants you to use WhatsApp.

[dusty depot]

I don't understand why anyone would use iphone over android. I mean, some of the cameras are decent, but there are better cameras on better phones.

[frozen hemlock]

If you can’t imessage for iphone you gotta turn off send as sms

Well he has to

[full fossil]

i like the iphone camera cuz you can take a photo and then move the text instantly.

like i take a photo of my prof's blackboard with my iphone and then paste onto my ipad. It converts the handwriting into text.

[dusty depot]

I can do that on android though.

[full fossil]

nah bro andriod don't got an ipad.

[calm thunder]

Everyone’s reasons are different, but for me it just does what I want it to without hassle. I’ve used both, and the iPhone simply works better with my workflow.

[full fossil]

plus like andriod shit always be mad goofy,

[dusty depot]

Windows link to phone allows that kind of flexibility.

[calm thunder]

Especially once I started getting other Apple devices.

[full fossil]

nah bro I feel that I bought my mom an iphone just so I could face time her.

Can i send pdfs on whatsapp?

[vapid smelt]

just use discord with her

[dusty depot]

Is there a phone that doesn't have video call functionality?

[wispy marsh]

Yes

[wispy marsh]

Nokia 3310

[full fossil]

nah bro my office has a mac.

[dusty depot]

Lol

[full fossil]

so i gotta be able to talk to my mom whenever she calls me.

cuz my mac lets me pick up my phone.

[dusty depot]

My PC allows that with Android.

[wispy marsh]

Here we go again

[dusty depot]

That's literally Phone Link

[dreamy rose]

ask an Apple fan you get "Any android phone"

[wispy marsh]

Apple vs everyone else

[full fossil]

i am not using no droid bro, that shit is for weirdos.

[wispy marsh]

They're like nvidia, they make excellent products but their decision-making is anti-consumer

[full fossil]

makes texting to much harder for ere one else.

[dusty depot]

I don't think Iphone is for weirdos, I just think there are better products.

[full fossil]

and i gotta be able to get notifications and be able to spend pdfs and shit.

[calm thunder]

Continuity really is an amazing thing. I promise you it works way better than what you get on Windows/Android.

Whether or not that’s a priority for you is up to you, but it really is a nice experience imo.

[full fossil]

nah bro fr. like i am studying to be a doctor and shit bro. so i ain't go no time to be tinkering with bullshit.

[dreamy rose]

yeah no. thats bullshit. iMessage only serves as a Divide between people because ppl like to argue

[golden talon]

because all i want in a phone is imessage, facetime and very good battery life which iphone has

[wispy marsh]

If all of my x86 games run as well on mac as it does on my pc, I'd skip to MacOS without a second thought

[dusty depot]

please don't talk like that bro fr if you're a dr cuz pplz be walkin out cho office so fast fr.

[full fossil]

nah bro i am professional and shit. plus i don't be interacting with patients.

[wispy marsh]

Windows has been obnoxious

[full fossil]

i am like more of a scientist dawg

[calm thunder]

You should explore that, actually. It’s amazing how many games work well on Mac, even with running them through Parallels. (Although it’s obviously not a perfect experience)

[golden talon]

As long as my phone can do social media and have good battery life idgaf what phone i have its just iphone has better battery life in general

[full fossil]

bro i only use my phone for facetime/imessage and the kindle app.

[wispy marsh]

Thing is, I have games that run DX9, DX11, DX12, Vulkan, Java etc.

[full fossil]

i don't even got any other apps on it.

[golden talon]

Kek

[dreamy rose]

if you were a Scientist you'd be using Linux

[golden talon]

Yeah I also love apple ecosystem.

[wispy marsh]

Apple does NOT want to support Vulkan on a Vulkan-capable machine

[full fossil]

idk wot that shit even is dawg

[golden talon]

I love how my airpods automatically switch between my iphone and macbook

And macbooks mog every other laptop in battery life

[full fossil]

yo me too bro i never take my airpods out.

[wispy marsh]

Linux is alright

[full fossil]

i wish the airpod max was lighter though, i still be using my sony xm4s

cuz the airpods be hurting my ears

[dreamy rose]

never lives up to the claims apple makes though

[golden talon]

I had airpod maxes for a long time and they were absolutely fantastic but the case was stupid

[full fossil]

nah bro my laptop last me one whole day of work.

[golden talon]

who cares when theyre beating the crap out of both AMD and intel thats all i could ever ask for lmfao

[calm thunder]

I want the AirPods Max but I just can’t justify that price tag.

[full fossil]

i don't even be taking my charger to work.

[dusty depot]

That's quite the cherry pick.

[dreamy rose]

i'm not talking about battery life i'm talking about "Worlds fastest laptops" bullshit

[full fossil]

nah bro windows laptops are fr kinda doddoo

[wispy marsh]

I would take if it it hasn't the condensation issue that has a 100% hardware failure rate

[golden talon]

Browsing workloads is such a cherry pick

[full fossil]

ik cuz my work gives me all the new tech shit for free.

[calm thunder]

As far as I know, x86 is still king when it comes to raw performance.

[full fossil]

bro the dell xps shit was ass, that shit died in like 8 hours.

[dreamy rose]

thats why we use LINUX

[golden talon]

I don't think theyve ever claimed they had the worlds fastest laptop lol

[full fossil]

my macbook lasts me like 12 hours solid.

[golden talon]

Feel free to correct me

[dreamy rose]

yes they did. i rememeber clear as day,

[full fossil]

i use the macbook pro, and it's sitll at 38% battery life and I been using it since 9 am.

[calm thunder]

I think they did with the first announcement of the M1 chip, but they very quickly walked that back.

[golden talon]

Ah so they did.

[dusty depot]

MacOS < Linux < Windows.

[dreamy rose]

idk remember when exactly but it was around M1 if i'm not mistaken

[golden talon]

Yeah theyre cherrypicking but who cares, they still in the lead anyway

[full fossil]

i only use the word app and safari though usually.

[dusty depot]

That's from someone who's used all 3.

[stuck stratus]

sure but they’re light years ahead of windows laptops

[wispy marsh]

It's 11:27 am, so you have poor battery life

[wispy marsh]

Distance =/= time

[manic torrent]

my wife has an M1, and she charges it.... sometimes.

[dusty depot]

They aren't though.

[manic torrent]

incorrect

[wispy marsh]

No u

[golden talon]

every company cherry picks benchmarks

[full fossil]

nah bro shit is great. idk wtf the other guys is saying. bro i've tried out all of the windows laptops.

[dreamy rose]

doesnt matter when the claims are bullshit that should be suable

[dusty depot]

no you havent.

[full fossil]

i tried out the dell xps and surface pro, there really shit.

[golden talon]

intel and AMD and nvidia do the exact same thing with cherry picking

[manic torrent]

you make plenty of bullshit claims.

[golden talon]

apple is just way more vague

[full fossil]

battery life don't be lasting more than a c couple hours.

[wispy marsh]

That's what they do

[stuck stratus]

should be, but I’m sure the XPS is claiming 8 hours or some shit

everyone does it

[full fossil]

bro i got the dell xps that shit barely last me 5 hours.

[calm thunder]

Microsoft is still trying to transition to ARM, but it’s not going too well for them at the moment 😅

[wispy marsh]

Big companies are big because they successfully completed their task of separating your money from you

[golden talon]

Windows for ARM is a dumpster fire

[full fossil]

i gave it back to the IT guy, cuz that shit was unusable.

[stuck stratus]

that’s impressive for an XPS ngl

[dreamy rose]

they arent claiming to be the fastest shit in the world are they?

[golden talon]

They better not be

[dusty depot]

That's quite a limited selection.

[full fossil]

I had to use this ERDAS software for my research, That only runs on windows. bro that shit is so ass. I got 5 hours of battery life.

[golden talon]

The XPS is dogshit compared to a macbook, only thing it has over a macbook is a touchscreen

[calm thunder]

Well, that was a quick response…

[full fossil]

bro i never used the touchscreen. it's to awkward to do so.

[dusty depot]

You have to remember, PCs are not like Apple products. PCs have a wide range of variability to them.

[stuck stratus]

I don’t believe they ever claimed to be the fastest, only the most efficient

[manic torrent]

I use it, it's handy. especially in a thin and light.

[golden talon]

If I wanted a touchscreen i'd get an iPad or some shit

[dusty depot]

Using a dell or a surface pro will differ vastly from using a gaming system.

[full fossil]

bro i never got the touchscreen on a laptop, makes no sense.

[dusty depot]

Also, I use a gaming system, even though I'm by no means a gamer.

[dreamy rose]

they did. dont try Defending Apple, theres no point

[calm thunder]

Holy wow guys, there is no “objectively better” here. Different people have different priorities.

[dusty depot]

There are some objective things.

[full fossil]

bro and for some reason with windows laptops i couldn't even use airdrop.

[manic torrent]

don't come in here with your "reasonable" takes. Nobody wants to hear it 😉

[dusty depot]

you can though.

[calm thunder]

Yes, but overall which metric matters depends on your priorities.

[full fossil]

i had to upload shit to google drive or email it to myself it was so ghetto.

[stuck stratus]

I mean… source?

[dusty depot]

There are equivalencies for everything mentioned here.

[dusty depot]

absolutely.

[dreamy rose]

yeah, but Linux is Objectively Better than Windows and MacOS.

[golden talon]

and none of them are as convenient as apple's iteration lmfao

[dusty depot]

Some are moreso.

[golden talon]

Sure

[full fossil]

on a macbook all I do is click airdrop and I can send my entire pdf

[stuck stratus]

by what metric?

[full fossil]

on a windows bro i gotta upload that shit too google drive and relog onto diff pc.

[golden talon]

On a macbook I can sync everything between my iphone and mac without having to even click a single button

[manic torrent]

This isn't even provable. It's just garbage

[dusty depot]

I have a folder I can drag stuff into and it'll be accessible by every system I've permitted access to that folder.

[full fossil]

yo me too bro.

[dusty depot]

It's no different from airdrop.

[golden talon]

Which you have to setup lol

[vapid smelt]

apple battery life is better but not double or triple

[full fossil]

i have it synced between my MAC,macbook iphone and ipad.

[manic torrent]

What is "linux". On what hardware. For what purpose

[dusty depot]

took like, 10 seconds tops?

[golden talon]

I linked a browsing test

[full fossil]

bro idk about the charts, but my macbook legit lasts me 12 hours a day easily.

[manic torrent]

in practise it often is - the reality is that macs sleep properly.

[dusty depot]

You literally just right click a folder and click "share".

[calm thunder]

Everything I like about the Apple ecosystem can absolutely be replicated with Windows and Android.

But I don’t have the time or desire to sit there and try to configure that stuff to my liking when it all “just works” on my Apple devices.

[full fossil]

whenever I used windows 5-6 hours max.

[golden talon]

Great, I don't have to do it. 10 seconds that I can use getting work done. Objective win for the macbook. What else?

[full fossil]

also the windows pencils are really ghetto.

[dreamy rose]

the point of it is to be customized to whatever you desire. to run on whatever hardware you can. how is it any worse than Windows or Mac? Mac is even worse.

[full fossil]

the apple pencil feels so nice,

[vapid smelt]

Our charger includes browsing the web, streaming video and running OpenGL benchmarks with the screen set to 150 nits and the machine connected to Wi-Fi.

[dusty depot]

You have to set it up on macbook too. You have to log into your apple account and such.

[full fossil]

i tried using the windows surface shit felt really ghetto to me.

[dusty depot]

Otherwise, everyone has access to the share, right?

[golden talon]

Logging into your apple account on a macbook is the equivalent to setting up a windows device when you first boot it up lol

[dreamy rose]

MF thinks he can raise a family in 10 seconds

[full fossil]

nah it's not bro it takes me like 2 sconds.

[dreamy rose]

Obviously

[full fossil]

on windows i gotta do all time of ratchet shit to get my files to work

[golden talon]

These guys did the same controlled testing but ran a browser test, one on safari and the other on edge i believe

[dusty depot]

Plus, I mean, you'd be better off setting up SSH file transfer. Even if you're using an apple product.

[golden talon]

Why would I want to make my life harder on purpose

Airdrop works perfectly fine with 1 click

[dreamy rose]

then dont bother with Windows if thats your main complaint. Windows is shit anyway

[dusty depot]

Like double click?

[calm thunder]

SSH works great if you need all that power, but AirDrop is so incredibly easy to use and works pretty much every time.

[full fossil]

wot you mean?

[dusty depot]

I was thinking more in terms of file encryption.

[golden talon]

Besides I can airdrop stuff from my macbook to any other apple device in the vicinity not even just macbooks

[calm thunder]

Ahh, I see. Does AirDrop not have some form of encryption during file transfer?

[full fossil]

yeah bro this is a big one. bro my prof always sends us slides he marks up with airdrop.

and my classmate is legit the only mofo without airdrop

[dreamy rose]

well we dont need to beat the dead horse that AirDrop only exists on Apple

[golden talon]

And thats great because Apple products are fucking everywhere

[dusty depot]

likely so, though I'm not sure about the security of that encryption. I'm sure you could also apply encryption if it's not native. Apple usually has decent enough security.

[golden talon]

The ecosystem is amazing

[dreamy rose]

And its the only good feature that other places dont have that apple does.

[dusty depot]

SSH though is designed for security, where airdrop is designed for convenience.

[manic torrent]

I would be shocked if it doesn't

[golden talon]

Some of the schools here have moved to Macbook Airs instead of chromebooks

And it couldnt have been a better move

[dusty depot]

Do keep in mind that most educational institutions have contracts with Apple.

[dreamy rose]

yeah i wonder how well thats going. No second click.

[full fossil]

i am not using WhatsAPP I refuse. I am just making a new GC, I tried doing research but no way to make imessage work.

[golden talon]

Its going amazing actually, and has been for the past 4 years

The one near me just moved up to top 5 in the state

[dusty depot]

I had to use apple products in school. I remember thinking how ridiculous they were. They had some good points, but compared to Windows is just wasn't great.

[dreamy rose]

proof? the Macbook fleets i've seen have been absolutely shit to use,

[golden talon]

That's great

[dusty depot]

I liked that I could do more with PCs

Apple was kind of dumbed down at the time. They've gotten better admittedly.

[golden talon]

What are you gonna do? Give everyone a windows machine?

[calm thunder]

Are you the only one here that doesn’t prefer Apple??

[dusty depot]

Maybe, but I'm probably the only one who has extensive experience with the 3 major operating systems.

I use all 3. Daily.

[full fossil]

what do you for work?

[golden talon]

I prefer macOS to windows, and linux by a long shot

[dusty depot]

Software engineer.

[dreamy rose]

Bad opinion.

[calm thunder]

Yeah, probably. I’ve used both Windows and Mac, and messed around with Linux. But I don’t use all three daily, not yet at least.

[full fossil]

your the first person ik in CS that doesn't use a macbook

[golden talon]

everything is so streamlined, efficient and easy to setup and use. And it works flawlessly with my other apple devices

[golden talon]

Switching to a macbook for coding has changed my life

I used to make fun of macbook users too for that

and then Apple silicon dropped and native support was added for all the big languages.

[full fossil]

i think bro's Capping. Cuz all my homies in CS use a macbook.

[dreamy rose]

just because Windows cant do it doesnt mean that anyone else cant

[golden talon]

I decided to give it a try and macbook has genuinely made my workflow way more efficient

[full fossil]

i have this guy who writes my code for me for my protein research, and even he's rocking a macbook.

he told me does some dual shit to make it run windows

[calm thunder]

Boot Camp?

[dusty depot]

That's really what matters most, though my workflow could not be more optimized. MacOS has been a detriment to my workflow far more often than not. I've managed to reconfigure it to remove most of the bottlenecks, but macOS fought me almost every step of the way.

[golden talon]

Coding C++ on Xcode 5 was actually OP

[dreamy rose]

he Dualboots. BootCamp is a stupid name.

[full fossil]

yeah idk, I needed someone to write a program to run through my univeristy's data sets. idk shit about coding, so i had my homie do it.

i only use my macbook pro for microsfot word and as a pdf

[calm thunder]

…what’s wrong with boot camp as a name?

[dusty depot]

Keep in mind, I'm an actual software engineer, not a student.

I deal with Linux servers a lot.

[manic torrent]

a jillion putty windows 😄

[full fossil]

idk man could be true ik fuck all bout computers

[dreamy rose]

its a cover name for Dualbooting that Apple fans to go on about like "You cant do this on a PC"

[dusty depot]

lol, used to use putty.

[golden talon]

They nuked bootcamp with apple silicon

Cuz microsoft is too lazy to add ARM support

[calm thunder]

Wait, what? You can dual boot on pretty much any device. Why would anyone think otherwise?

[golden talon]

or they can but their implementation is so ass

[dusty depot]

can't dual boot on a PC? Really?

[dreamy rose]

because they dont know shit about Computers and act like they do.

[calm thunder]

Microsoft has an exclusivity agreement with Qualcomm. That’s what’s up with that, to my knowledge.

[dreamy rose]

heard people actually say this before.

[golden talon]

And theyre still getting nowhere with that agreement

[dusty depot]

Yeah, there's a lot of misconceptions.

[dreamy rose]

its Dumb how many people act like they know shit when they fail at knowing 101

[dusty depot]

I find a lot of the "you can't do this" comes from people just.. not trying it.

[calm thunder]

Wow. It’s just a brand name for their implementation of this functionality 😂 fanboys are so weird.

[golden talon]

I cant imagine fanboying for billion dollar companies

[calm thunder]

Apple made it easier to do, and gave it a name. That’s it.

[dreamy rose]

you can imagine fanboying for Trillion dollar companies though

[golden talon]

Idk bootcamp was never appealing

[golden talon]

No I cant lol. Fanboying is cringe

[dusty depot]

dual booting has been a thing for like

[dreamy rose]

How? Dualboot has been easy since the beginning

[dusty depot]

Yeah, I've been dual booting since basically I was old enough to use a computer.

It's probably been around since the 1980s.

[calm thunder]

If you know how to partition a drive, then yes, it’s easy. But some people just want to get Windows running without figuring out how to do it manually, and that’s what Boot Camp Assistant was for.

[dreamy rose]

unless Bootcamp can install the other OS inside MacOS then it makes nothing easier

[calm thunder]

It pretty much automates all the technical stuff.

[dusty depot]

I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

[dreamy rose]

its not like its particularly difficult to do anyway its pointless

[dusty depot]

Partition managing is something I think everyone should consider for themselves.

[dreamy rose]

Linux will Automate it too, but sometimes its terrible.

[calm thunder]

You’re running under a pretty big assumption here - just because it’s easy for you, doesn’t mean it’s easy for everyone.

[dusty depot]

I like to configure overprovisioning, so I really like doing things my own way.

[calm thunder]

Not everyone can or wants to figure it out.

[dreamy rose]

no i'm not. anyone can Format a Hard drive they just think its too hard. its absolute bullshit

[dusty depot]

I think that's valid to some degree.

Though, hardly a marketing motto. "too stupid to use windows? Use mac!"

[golden talon]

I used to dual boot xfce4 alongside chrome os on my chromebook back in 2016

The fun times

[calm thunder]

You’d be amazed at the kind of thing people find difficult. Not everyone is tech savvy. There’s nothing wrong with that.

[dusty depot]

If everyone was tech savvy, a lot of us would be out of jobs.

[dusty depot]

chromeOS is not great.

[dreamy rose]

i mean. if you think clicking buttons is too hard imagine your suprise when its what you do on a computer daily

[golden talon]

Im not joking when I say I had to help my grandma with how to operate the samsung fridge today

[golden talon]

Yeah but to be fair I dont think it was designed to be

[plush rivet]

I would 100% believe it

[golden talon]

Its just supposed to be a absolute base tier OS

But google is working pretty hard to add some new features to it

They added android app support a while ago

[calm thunder]

There are a lot of things I find super easy that a lot of people struggle with. That doesn’t make me smarter than everyone around me, I’m just the one that’s into computers, so I took the time to learn how to do it.

[golden talon]

Me but with cars

specifically BMWs

[dusty depot]

That's what being smart is though, knowing things that others don't.

It for sure does mean you're smarter than others. Perhaps not in general, but when it comes to tech, absolutely.

Nothing wrong with that.

[vapid smelt]

she broke the number one rule of never buying Samsung appliances

[dusty depot]

If you think learning doesn't make you smart, I don't know what to tell you.

[calm thunder]

Wait I’m confused, what did Samsung do to make fridges harder to use?

[golden talon]

No thats just having knowledge, being smart means " is having or showing a high degree of mental ability" which is basically having a high IQ

[hollow pulsar]

I can show you some very smart people who are stupid outside their specialty

[golden talon]

Nothing, absolutely nothing. My grandma just isn't tech knowledgeable, at all

[calm thunder]

Yeah, you and I have very different definitions of “smart” here.

[dusty depot]

That's fine, but they are still smarter than others when it comes to their speciality.

[dreamy rose]

people are smart enough to understand that tech is easy. they just have "low self confidence" in doing it correctly or some BS. majority of times someone has asked for help and refused because "they are scared they are gonna mess it up" is stupidly common.

[dusty depot]

I know, you like to believe everyone is equally smart, but in different ways, right?

[golden talon]

or some people just dont care

[calm thunder]

But that’s the thing… tech isn’t easy. It’s not super difficult, either, but there is a pretty significant learning curve if you haven’t messed around with the tech before.

[stuck stratus]

never said it was worse, I run kde plasma on my desktop

[dreamy rose]

you cant be Advertising here

[frigid prism]

they dont seem very on topic, and its not advertising im asking for people to play with

[golden talon]

someone @ the mods because im not lol

[frigid prism]

it is not exactly for profit

arigaro

[frigid prism]

public-chat not just whatever?

[dreamy rose]

Rule 5. read it

[calm thunder]

Have you ever seen a child who grew up with an iPad try to use a Windows device before? They struggle with it a lot. It’s not a mental deficiency, there’s just a learning curve there.

[frigid prism]

y'all a bunch of nerds lmao screenshotting rules and reporting me before even saying anything

discord mods go crazy

[golden talon]

what did you expect from the linus tech tips discord

[frigid prism]

not good nerds nerds like lame

[golden talon]

exactly

[frigid prism]

unrelated to tech

snitches

[dreamy rose]

if you are here to troll then you better go away before you loose braincells

[golden talon]

real

[vapid smelt]

says the nerd playing a game from 2011

[frigid prism]

i was legit tryna find people to play minecraft wtf 😩

goated game from 2011 tbf

[calm thunder]

This isn’t the place for that.

[dreamy rose]

breaking the rules in the process

[dreamy rose]

1998's half life is better

[calm thunder]

I love Minecraft, but if I’m looking for people to play with, I’m going to a relevant community… not a tech channel.

[frigid prism]

i liked half life 2 more

it says public chat i am innocent

there is tech chat 1 and 2

[golden talon]

CSGO better

[dreamy rose]

ew

[golden talon]

[frigid prism]

csgo is good, everyone is way too good at it now

[golden talon]

we call that hax

[calm thunder]

If I visit a Club Penguin discord and start looking for people to play Minecraft, I’m getting booted. This is a tech server. Not a Minecraft one.

[frigid prism]

screenbones seems quite upset

[dreamy rose]

portal 2 is the best Source game after Half life 2 and the episodes

[frigid prism]

ill play minecraft with you if it helps

[calm thunder]

Not to mention the “no advertising” rule exists. People don’t like ads.

[hollow pulsar]

So? Lets move on.

[vapid smelt]

did you know LTT has a dedicated Minecraft server and discord

[frigid prism]

ah shit they do

my b

[golden talon]

should we start another argument

[vapid moss]

did*

[hollow pulsar]

Not anymore with the MC server

[calm thunder]

Hmm…

[frigid prism]

what? what happened to it

[hollow pulsar]

It was removed.

[golden talon]

Whys that

[frigid prism]

why

[hollow pulsar]

I don’t know if they ever gave a reason, but my guess is poor alignment with LTT goals and vision.

[dreamy rose]

but they are the kinds of kids to think your parents don't love you if you don't get an iPad for Christmas.

[vapid smelt]

no one played it i guess

[frigid prism]

sad

[vapid moss]

wasn't enough people playing on it to keep it running iirc

[young root]

offbrand walmart sprite isnt great

prefer name brand

[golden talon]

Taco bell baja blast >

[calm thunder]

Not always? Some kids just never use a desktop computer.

[frigid prism]

minecraft is fun but you play it in bursts, it gets old very fast

[dreamy rose]

No shit. Sprunk tastes like shit

[frigid prism]

so i understand

[golden talon]

Tbh i find myself playing minecraft on and off

[frigid prism]

right same here

[golden talon]

like once every year or two i hop onto some old servers

[young root]

offbrand rootbeer is good

[golden talon]

ginger ale > rootbeer

[jaunty compass]

i mod the shit out of the game and grind out like 100 hours on a pack and then don't play it for like 5 months

[frigid prism]

yep same

[jaunty compass]

then do the same thing again

[golden talon]

i have an extra computer so I might just make a minecraft server for the sake of it

[frigid prism]

you get too old and dont like to just build for the sake of building anymore

[dreamy rose]

then those kids dont go to school.

[frigid prism]

the state of kids these days is sad

[golden talon]

you dont need to use a desktop computer at all for education

[calm thunder]

You really like to run with a lot of assumptions, don’t you?

[jaunty compass]

you do realize most schools use chrome books now right

[frigid prism]

everyone that grew up seeing ipad babies will not let that happen to their kids me

[jaunty compass]

most schools use chromebooks and not desktops at all

[frigid prism]

oh asterisks does italics

[jaunty compass]

or if they do use desktops, it's only in the computer labs

[golden talon]

just dont have kids ggez

[frigid prism]

thats where im at now lmao

[dreamy rose]

you said "Some kids never used desktops"

[jaunty compass]

i'll force my kids to run a windows 7 pc

[frigid prism]

also they too expensive to get, its like 10k in hospital bills to obatin one

[dreamy rose]

thats gonna go well

[calm thunder]

Yeah. What, do you think literally all schools have desktops?

[frigid prism]

what is a child's roi

[golden talon]

if i were to ever have kids they get a chromebook until theyre in high school, then ill get them a phone and a gaming whatever

[jaunty compass]

If they grow up with it, they'll never know it's old

[dreamy rose]

most do. every school i've been to has. everyone knew windows.

[jaunty compass]

At least not for a long time

[frigid prism]

I second this but mid-middle school and shitty acer laptop not chromebook

i want them to learn about pcs like i did, you have a crappy laptop but its windows so it can be messed with and you learn stons of stuff trying to get cool minecraft mods

[calm thunder]

Every school you’ve been to. Not everyone’s experiences are the same as yours.

[jaunty compass]

I'll give my kids a Windows laptop

In the unlikely event of me having kids

[dreamy rose]

no. 7 is Really not secure and giving kids free reign over it is a REALLY bad idea

[jaunty compass]

I'll give them Windows laptops for the simple reason of not wanting them to not know how to use a computer properly

Because if you leave them with a Chromebook that is what's going to happen

[golden talon]

im just bringing them up the same way i was brought up

[frigid prism]

yeah man I just give the kiddo a laptop and make sure no payment info or whatever is on it and idgaf if they mess it up with viruses

[jaunty compass]

I was brought up on a Windows 7 desktop tbh
A shitty Celeron one but I squeezed the most out of it

[frigid prism]

they gotta learn to fix it, we all did

[hollow pulsar]

I plan on introducing my kids to all 3 of the major OS’s. Learn a bit of each and their strengths and weaknesses.

[plush rivet]

Learning to reinstall my Mac OS 3 time because I downloaded viruses is a very good example back when I was a kid

[dreamy rose]

yeah maybe so. but again everyone knows Windows at this point. anyone not is behind considerably

[frigid prism]

absolutely same, hackintosh that destroyed my laptop and i rebuilt it

[jaunty compass]

I got a computer for myself when I was like 10 because I begged and my parents got me the cheapest desktop that was in Walmart at the time but I used it for years and years

[frigid prism]

and then i got a mac and missed windows and put it on there and that had issues.....

[plush rivet]

I tried downloading so many free games and I knew my computer had virus’s and made me learn how to reinstall em lol

[plush rivet]

Learning to install windows on a Mac honestly made me get into computers

[jaunty compass]

Most of my fondest gaming memories are on that desktop, even though I was running Minecraft at 20 something fps or flash games or weird Nintendo DS games or emulators (mostly GBA)

[frigid prism]

for sure, same here

[young root]

mine are getting windows computers unless something major changes that. at the rate i'm at my children are going to have 2-3 computers to use themselves.

[frigid prism]

i LOVED minecraft mods

[young root]

each

[frigid prism]

i was thinking about it and minecraft mods are probably why im an engineer now

[dreamy rose]

put your kids on Linux or suffer a million viruses

[jaunty compass]

Enough of them were on that crappy desktop that I actually recently went out of my way to find that exact model and I'm going to give it a better GPU soon so I can turn it into a retro emulation station for like GCN and Wii and other stuff

[plush rivet]

Idk if anyone else had this, but WAYY back when my mac was garbage I would have to look at the requirements of games and see if I could play em 😭

[frigid prism]

i used to sit around for hours on tekkit making factories and stuff

[jaunty compass]

I was a hexxit kid

[dreamy rose]

i have to do that still

[frigid prism]

i used to play csgo comp on a 2013 macbook air with no mouse lmaoo

[young root]

i refuse to let my children use linux. the way linux users talk makes me think my kid isn't gonna develop right if they use it.

[frigid prism]

but i was gold nova 2 somehow

[plush rivet]

RIP. I remember those days so hard it sucked. My friends would get a new game and I couldn’t even play it

[dreamy rose]

your loss

[jaunty compass]

🤡

[plush rivet]

I mean if you understand that OS at a very young age you can very much set yourself apart early from everyone else

[hollow pulsar]

Found the Linux user? 😉

[frigid prism]

the stigma is real, i feel like the risk/reward ratio is higher with linux babies

[young root]

that was easy, @hollow pulsar

[plush rivet]

learning Linux commands is a bitch

[vapid smelt]

so your buying them iphones and windows/mac laptops?

[hollow pulsar]

I use Linux too.

[calm thunder]

There is a lot of fanboying in the Linux realm 😅

[frigid prism]

your kid could be a really cool programmer who finds a cool career, or a reddit mod permanantly

[calm thunder]

But learning Linux is a useful skill, particularly in IT.

[young root]

actually yeah lmao, i use ios and windows.

[dreamy rose]

Still. at least sit the kids infront of XFCE and KDE and let them choose what they like

[jaunty compass]

no, I use windows 11 💀

[plush rivet]

Usually they go with the 2nd option

[dreamy rose]

lame combo

[jaunty compass]

i just think you're a bozo

[frigid prism]

I'm in IT rn and I dont know linux lmao
