[dreamy rose]

dude. you ate beans the chat didnt make you gassy

[mild elm]

kc3000 is close enough to sn850x and a lot cheaper

[long briar]

the only boards that aren't garbage are WRX80 boards

[modest leaf]

Put your money in gfx like I did

[stray island]

i was wanting to move from the 5900x to the 7900x

[cosmic coyote]

my 970 evo is at 96%

[full fossil]

me too OwO

[stray island]

5900x is definetly feeling aged and worn

[vapid smelt]

7900x is ass

[dreamy rose]

go ahead

[manic torrent]

I fixed my shit just for you

[stray island]

like my mom

[mild elm]

No lol

[modest leaf]

I want a zen 4 but 60 sec POST times????

[stray island]

holy crap that looks nice 💯

[long briar]

Skill issue tbh'

[full fossil]

that looks good OwO

[lilac sage]

on first boot or after a clr cmos but yea understandable

[dreamy rose]

i'm not buying it,

[modest leaf]

Wym

[mild elm]

It smells like leverwurst

[stray island]

wait isnt the 7900x the best cpu?

[mild elm]

No

[long briar]

wait... 32 main and two 22 or 24 vertical

[modest leaf]

I'm trying to get the facts here but seems like an issue still

[stray island]

why not

[dreamy rose]

7950X3D

[manic torrent]

27/48/27

[mild elm]

7950x and 13900k exist

[long briar]

oh jesus

[stray island]

wait

[modest leaf]

Prove it send me one

[mild elm]

Doesn’t exist, stop.

[long briar]

that's pretty epic

[cosmic coyote]

I feel like with this setup you gotta now paint the walls get the ikea wood table and white drawers

[lilac sage]

I wouldnt bother with AM5 now anyway unless ur a hardcore enthusiast

[vapid smelt]

why do you want such a slow cpu?

[full fossil]

lots of crumbs on that desk

[lilac sage]

am4 or lga 1700 are in great positions

[dreamy rose]

shut up.

[long briar]

nah

[modest leaf]

Some of us need to upgrade now so

[manic torrent]

The wall is already on the list.

[stray island]

i didnt know it was slow jesus

[mild elm]

???

You guys THINK you need to upgrade.

[dreamy rose]

it exists.

[manic torrent]

Not just crumbs, dust, bits of wood, metal, etc

[modest leaf]

I actually do. My 4090 isn't fitting in my case

[full fossil]

pro

[stray island]

so 7950X3D or 7950X?

[modest leaf]

I have a 4090 and torrent right next to me but no mobo or cpu

[timid meadow]

How nah? Unless your an elitist, a r5 3600 and some ddr4 with a mid gpu will crank all the frames you want.

[lilac sage]

riser cable

[mild elm]

Not yet

[dreamy rose]

so i dont need to upgrade from Fermi?

[mild elm]

What do you do with your pc

[modest leaf]

Do I just let it sit on the floor???

[stray island]

@mild elm hardcore gaming

[lilac sage]

on top of ur case

[mild elm]

Then 7600

[long briar]

more like for AM4 I'm not sure why you'd still get it

[dreamy rose]

wait for release of the X3D and buy that

[modest leaf]

That's pretty stylish

[vapid smelt]

i5 13600k

[stray island]

thats literally a smaller number than the 7950

[mild elm]

Ok and?

You don’t need 16 cores for gaming

[haughty swan]

so far i only found MTE220S price suitable for my budget

[cosmic coyote]

x3d

[modest leaf]

Tbh if amd doesn't quit with the shenanigans I will freak

[tender geyser]

7950x3d boutta cost like 800 bucks

[haughty swan]

so far i only found **MTE220S **price suitable for my budget ... any better recommendation guys?

[modest leaf]

Give me my cache

[stray island]

i dont need it but i just want it as a flex

[mild elm]

Bruh

[timid meadow]

Because why spend money on a ddr5 am5 rig when im already running 4k60?

[mild elm]

Clown behaviour

[cosmic coyote]

x3d then is the flex

[modest leaf]

I want an x3d NOW

[mild elm]

7900x3d will be an epic flex

[long briar]

LGA1700 DDR4 is in a much better position than AM4 tho

[stray island]

how much do you think its gonna cost to pay someone to swap my parts?

[modest leaf]

These weenies clowning the release date

[cosmic coyote]

bro i am mad hyped

[mild elm]

It’s Ryzen 9 so your friends will think you’re bailing

[cosmic coyote]

i need X3D

[mild elm]

But it’s not ridiculously expensive

BUT

Let’s wait for x3d release

[modest leaf]

I literally sold my car so I can flex on my gaming friends with a custom loop

[dreamy rose]

"bailing"

[mild elm]

We can’t say anything now, can we?

[cosmic coyote]

true

[long briar]

this is the saddest thing I've seen this week

[royal minnow]

if u got bread go for am5 all day

[modest leaf]

You do what you gotta do

[cosmic coyote]

gaming chad

[royal minnow]

the 13900k is a nice toaster

[tender geyser]

Did the 7000x3d prices get leaked yet

[dreamy rose]

all we can say is its going to Smack the Plums of Intel

[stray island]

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/34929658 based off this benchmark you can see how obsolete my 5900x is and my gpu is being bottle necked

[timid meadow]

Good choice. Cars suck, get a bike or moped

[mild elm]

Source?

[royal minnow]

I got a 7950x, with a little undervolting and playing w pbo is a beast.

[dreamy rose]

logic

[cosmic coyote]

im with you brother

[modest leaf]

How long does POST take tho?

[vapid smelt]

7950x not far behind

[long briar]

Impressing your friends at the cost of personal tools really just begs the question if they're actually good friends

[median idol]

I'm more curious to see if there will be any difference between performance for productivity workloads compared to the 7950X or 7950X3D

[mild elm]

At the same price points?

[royal minnow]

a lot

[long briar]

Assuming you don't live somewhere that's -20C for 7 months of the year

[young root]

@stray island i was close to owning a 7900xtx with my 5900x. but my 6950xt is 8 days out of return policy.

[stray island]

the 7950x is kinda ass though compared to the x3d version

[royal minnow]

prolly cause of 64gb of ram tho

but I don't game

[dreamy rose]

who gives a fuck about price when we talk best performance

[royal minnow]

I use my rig for numeric simulations

[long briar]

then do we include Ln2?

[modest leaf]

I honestly don't know what to buy for my new max effort cpu

[cosmic coyote]

it has nothing to do with that. its ascending into a higher plane of existence and FPS.

[modest leaf]

I want a 3d chip but I can't keep waiting

[stray island]

@young root the 7900xtx is the best gpu bro just make sure to get a a red devil one

[long briar]

the higher plane of existence within FPS is reality.

[dreamy rose]

we are talking consumer focused CPUs

[young root]

i'm not getting one. i'll own a 6950xt and that card it wouldn't make sense.

[full fossil]

you're a numeric simulation

[modest leaf]

Did you forget the 4090?

[mild elm]

HAHAHAHA

[royal minnow]

?

[timid meadow]

Just get good enough tires or walk when you cant ride. I regularly walk/ride in near 0 weather

[long briar]

you're telling me you can't LN2 a 13600k?

[stray island]

the 4090 isnt really that good for 2500$

[mild elm]

We have proof that you have no clue what you’re talking about.

[young root]

you're a numeric solution

[mild elm]

So leave

[modest leaf]

1600-1800 it's the best tho

[median idol]

https://tenor.com/view/perfect-popcorn-michael-jackson-gif-26271837

[stray island]

also its fat like my mom

[modest leaf]

Your mom Is a beautiful lady

[cosmic coyote]

but is it not the best?

[young root]

she isn't trust me

[dreamy rose]

you can Liquid nitro any CPU.

[lilac sage]

the best price to performance is the 6600XT or the 6600 therefore dont buy anything else :P

[long briar]

Again, taking for granted a city layout that makes sense

[modest leaf]

Honestly what even is the point of upgrading anymore?

[stray island]

its best on a technical level but i dont identify nvidia or their products so it doesnt exist to me

[long briar]

I can guarantee you that no car is the worst thing to happen to you for half the year here

[modest leaf]

I only upgraded because I got bored and am now pushing 4k @ 120

[mild elm]

So you’re biased?

[long briar]

When you need more than your system can handle

[mild elm]

That’s nice

[cosmic coyote]

ill see you guys in 2 years when the 4090 is sold for half price

[young root]

i'm biased as hell

[modest leaf]

He ain't wrong

[stray island]

not biased i just have more wisdom to understand

[long briar]

3090 isn't half price it's 2.5 years old already

[modest leaf]

This winter 4090 will be 1k like the 3090 was

[haughty swan]

normally NVME doesn't eat a lot of voltage right? is gonna be same like any other storage yes like SSD/HDD?

[young root]

i've never recommended and nvidia card since getting into computers

[mild elm]

What wisdom

[cosmic coyote]

i got it for half price in aussie dollars though

[stray island]

the wisdom that nvidia is a bad company

[modest leaf]

I've never recommended amd tbh

[long briar]

the wisdom is no company is your friend. They're all just out to make money.

[modest leaf]

Intel has huge market share

[stray island]

nvidia is the worst though

[long briar]

is what the ignorant says

[modest leaf]

Nvidia too and they both only make bangers

[young root]

i've only reccomended the i3 10100 on the cpu side, the rest is like 5600x/6700xt

[modest leaf]

Performance wise they eat up the competition

[young root]

i wouldn't use it myself so i don't reccomend it

[mild elm]

LOL 5600x

[mild elm]

Source?

[haughty swan]

normally NVME doesn't eat a lot of voltage right? is gonna be same like any other storage yes like SSD/HDD?

[stray island]

amd is really the only good company

[young root]

new* used cards i go amd/nvidia. my tv pc is a 1080 ti but i buy rx 580s every other day

[cosmic coyote]

R A Y T R A C I N G

[stray island]

amd/samsung/apple are the god tier companys nvidia is kinda ass and intel i dont even remember what intel is

and ray tracing is a gimmick

[young root]

bro what

i'm no longer on board with you

[unkempt widget]

what cluster size should i use for my usb drive

[long briar]

default

[mild elm]

LOL

[modest leaf]

Who needs Ray Tracing when you can just come and see @stray island s mom for free

[unkempt widget]

2kb is fine?

[timid meadow]

All of yall sound like clowns for only recommending a certain thing imo. Recommendations get based on whats available both new and used at the time, as well as the context of why the system is needed. You should be recommending just about any manufacturer to different people depending on what they need and when they need it

[modest leaf]

In all her beauty

[cosmic coyote]

I want real time ray tracing or else my games arent real

[median idol]

Q: What's the best product?
A: The one that performs the best for your use case. Whether it be AMD, Nvidia, or Intel

[long briar]

how large is the drive and what format

[young root]

i only reccomend good value parts. and it hasn't been nvidia for a good bit

[unkempt widget]

for some reason it's 114gb

[stray island]

ray tracing is literally a gimmick/scam

[modest leaf]

Honestly I'm still on a 3dfx voodoo. Waiting for that big upgrade

[long briar]

so exfat I'm assuming?

[cosmic coyote]

guys when are they gonna drop the life tracing LT cores

[young root]

would you sincerely reccomend a 3060 ti over a 6700xt right now?

[full fossil]

no, its amd!

[unkempt widget]

wait exfat works for bios flashback?

[stray island]

amd is the only viable company nowadays

[modest leaf]

Your mom ain't a scam I'll tell ya whyat

[stray island]

nvidia was a honest company about 10 years ago

[timid meadow]

Used 9 and 10 series cards are great value rn

[long briar]

oh for bios flashback you'll want fat32

[mild elm]

If they want ray tracing or need it for work

[unkempt widget]

yeah ok i just did it, cluster is 2kb

[modest leaf]

Who's Ray and why do people trace him

[young root]

9 series i would avoid, the jump in price and performance to 10 series is huge

[royal minnow]

the way y'all throw these "ya mom" jokes 😭

[stray island]

@mild elm bro ray tracing on a 3060 doesnt exist

[long briar]

you'll want about 128KB IIRC for 128gb drives

[young root]

the 980 ti sucks ass compared to the 1080 ti

[royal minnow]

y'all wouldn't have that energy irl I swear

[lilac sage]

there was an nvidia amd agreement to price hike on gpus more than 10 years ago iirc

[mild elm]

I hate 3060

3060 ti is great

[stray island]

if your gpu cant run cyberpunk 2077 at max graphics 4k 120fps leave the chat.

[long briar]

it's a 1070 to 1080ti

[unkempt widget]

also do i need to do a clean windows installation?

and if so, how do i do it without wiping my disk

[modest leaf]

My windows are pretty dirt rn tbh and I game fine

[long briar]

is what people tell themselves because all they do is game and don't need memory bandwidth

[unkempt widget]

if i'm upgrading

[timid meadow]

Thats what i mean though, you avoiding it doesnt make it not worth. The jump from a 980 to a 1070 or 1080 might not mean much to you, but that 20 bucks could get more value for someone by adding an ssd or ram

[vapid smelt]

my rx 5700xt beats the rtx 3060

[long briar]

for the record 980ti = 1070

[stray island]

anything below the 3080ti is obsolete 💀 that INCLUDES ur pathetic 3060ti

[mild elm]

3060 is a dumb overused card

[mild elm]

wtf are you on

[long briar]

a bit slower in core performance, a bit faster in vram intensive tasks

[unkempt widget]

you know what also is obsolete? your mom

[modest leaf]

This man is trying really hard

[vapid smelt]

3080ti is last gen thats obsolete

[young root]

i have had a 980 ti, 970, 1070, have a 1070 ti and 1080 ti and i just in general reccomend getting a 10 series

[modest leaf]

Nah she mint bro

[long briar]

what the fucl.

[stray island]

ur right but i wanna give cred to those who got scalped when they bought their 3080 and 3090

[long briar]

agreed. 10 series isn't more expensive than 9 series anymore

[stray island]

so i let it slide even though on a technicality they are obsolete as well

[modest leaf]

Ray Tracing is an illuminati scam to fund big pharma vaccines

The world is ending bro

[long briar]

incorrect usage of the term "scalped"

[stray island]

scalped

[timid meadow]

Fun fact: 10 series technically has raytracing

[young root]

all of my computers are obsolete except for my desktop

[stray island]

they got scalped and ur mad cause ur one of them

[young root]

😢😢😢

however shall i game 😢😢😢😢

[long briar]

my point: you're literally 14

[modest leaf]

Who made this guy the coolest lad? Let's reclaim our title

[stray island]

bro spent 1500$ on a 3080 and is crying rn

[cosmic coyote]

Guys this is the only reason why you pick nvidia over amd.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fSHpOSjGERE

[young root]

im worthless without my gaming 😢

[long briar]

1k flat on a 3090

[modest leaf]

I think he owns an mr2

[young root]

i don't think so

[modest leaf]

Pic too small

[long briar]

I would feel bad for the mr2

[stray island]

1k on a 3090 is a scam

[young root]

based on the picture it looks like it's a stolen picture

[modest leaf]

Prob

[unkempt widget]

can i put my bios flashback version and windows 11 on the same flash drive?

[long briar]

no\

drive needs to be clean

[unkempt widget]

oh so i need two?

[long briar]

absolutely nothing on it

[stray island]

no thats my mr2 3sgte

[modest leaf]

Y u do dis

[young root]

no it's not

[cosmic coyote]

is this usd

[unkempt widget]

upgrading pc

[timid meadow]

What about ventoy in this case?

[stray island]

yes it is ill give you the vin number rn

[young root]

no it's not

[modest leaf]

Lmao so outdated

[cosmic coyote]

yo wut

[stray island]

its not outdated or obsolete its beautiful and it took my virginity

[modest leaf]

Doesn't even have hill hold assist

[young root]

bro the mr2 is obsolete, my 2007 truck is the minimum for vehicles bro

[cosmic coyote]

bruh wut

[modest leaf]

Or adaptive cruise

[vapid smelt]

we all know you still have it

[cosmic coyote]

thats lame

[young root]

if your shit isn't at least 400 horsepower you're pathetic

[timid meadow]

Ive never tried it but in theory you put the windows install in ventoy then the bios file on the flash drive and it should work

[stray island]

actually it has cruise control

[modest leaf]

Bruh you have no idea how much adaptive cruise is amazing

[cosmic coyote]

what the hell

[young root]

no it doesn't, you don't own it.

[stray island]

and it also has a turbo

and it also has t tops

[cosmic coyote]

mr2 is dope asf are you guys high

[modest leaf]

It has about 10 problems

[stray island]

it has 2 problems

[young root]

the guy who does own it has cruise

[modest leaf]

That's all it has

[young root]

but not you

[modest leaf]

Shut up dude

[stray island]

the alternator is broken and the timing belt needs to come out

[vapid smelt]

easy fixes

[cosmic coyote]

what the hell do you drive

[young root]

you don't own it

[modest leaf]

The alternator is broken. You know. Unimportant

[stray island]

no its not easy fixes

[cosmic coyote]

what do you drive

[young root]

yes it is

[stray island]

you have to pull the entire engine off the subframe in order to replace the timing belt on an mr2

[modest leaf]

We are ratting on this guy dude wtf. I sold my cts-v and before that 2 evos

[vapid smelt]

we did belt changes all the time in HS automotive

[young root]

well when you end up owning one i'm sure you'll do it, but you don't.

[stray island]

and the alternator thats easy but im to lazy to really worry about that rn

[modest leaf]

Y do u own an mr2 if you're disrespecting it

This man is a big weenie

[cosmic coyote]

why we bullying

[stray island]

bro how am i disrespecting it

[young root]

he's a capper

[cosmic coyote]

thats not cool

[stray island]

it sits in a temperature controlled garage

[modest leaf]

With no alternator

It just sits

[young root]

i get it now, it's his dads car

[timid meadow]

Tbf you shouldn't be talking shit unless you have owned it to know if its bad or not

[stray island]

so im supposed to drop everything in life and replace the alternator asap?

[cosmic coyote]

@stray island bro they mad because of the samsung thing. You have a nice car my guy

[modest leaf]

It's a meme you goblin.

Keep getting toasted because you weren't paying attention

[young root]

in that case i own a 2017 highlander, 2018 camry, 2007 dodge dakota and a 2001 cavalier

all definitely in my name.

[modest leaf]

Yes

[stray island]

@cosmic coyote i bought it for 10k during the pandemic and the bank just did an appraisal on it for insurance and the bank says its worth 17k so i made a profit on it LMAO

[vapid smelt]

i got a 1994 Oldsmobile cutlass ceria s v6

[young root]

is that a g body?

[modest leaf]

I want a c7 corvette z06. Almost did the new corolla gr

But the 10k markup can f right off

[cosmic coyote]

its jdm man ofc.

[timid meadow]

I was paying attention i just dont know cars lol. And im at work so i cant 😦 well, cant easily while people are here haha

[modest leaf]

What is a shoe chicken

[stray island]

a respectable pupil of this server

[cosmic coyote]

chicken in a shoe

[young root]

the c7 is alright imo, im a c6 guy through and through

[stray island]

honestly the steno pool here is kinda weird

[timid meadow]

Like a shoe beer, except chicken

[young root]

whipple on a c6 🫣

[modest leaf]

If c6 didn't have stabilitrak that could kill you I'd probably own a grandsport rn

C6s have my heart ngl

[cosmic coyote]

what about the c8

[young root]

i'm looking for a c6 zo6 engine to swap into a catfish

the c8 i don't like

[modest leaf]

C8 hybrid is neat. Else the c8 looks like a camaro and I hate it. The dash buttons look so dumb

[young root]

i'm glad the camaro is getting axed, there's no where for it to go except electric

[cosmic coyote]

c8 is wide I saw it irl im like damn

[stray island]

also i sometimes i like to sit in the garage and listen to the exhaust and engine

[modest leaf]

C8 looks like a cheap sportscar camaro thing

[modest leaf]

Race you in my geo metro

[timid meadow]

Just make sure you close all the doors and windows! /s please dont

[young root]

yeah, have you seen the c7 super car body kit? it's weird

[cosmic coyote]

this is exactly how i would describe it hahaha

[young root]

the valarra

it's c6

[stray island]

geo metro

worst car

[cosmic coyote]

i like the c8. Wallmart sportscar nice

[stray island]

Suzuki Cappuccino is the best car

[modest leaf]

C8 looks like a fish from the side

[cosmic coyote]

Cappaccino is the OG mx5

[modest leaf]

Big mouth bass quarter panels

[young root]

NEVER google a regular cab 8 foot bed tundra

[cosmic coyote]

lmao a fish

[young root]

it's actually a fish

[modest leaf]

I would do unspeakable things for a turbo diesel pathfinder

Or hilux

[cosmic coyote]

there's a honda del sol thats permanently parked out front in my street.

[modest leaf]

Tundras are great but the latest one makes me irrationally upset. Do they look at their designs before they release them?

[stray island]

thats why i play beamng.

[young root]

i want a 5.9 ram 2500 eventually. my truck is going to be a project for a while

[stray island]

its the only actual good game on the market

[modest leaf]

Y tho it will die in the parking lot

[young root]

a 5.9 cummins?

[modest leaf]

The last dodge we had to tow because it got stuck in the parking lot after he hit the dial to drive

5.9 are those still i6s?

I know Nissan are v8s

[young root]

i'm sure the 1997 ram 2500 has push start and a dial to shift lmao

the cummins, in ever iteration except for the 5.0, is an i6

[modest leaf]

I mean if it's a 97 the power train will be fine even if you're on your 3rd chassis

[modest leaf]

Nissan uses a Cummins v8

Which isn't the same of course

[young root]

that's the 5.0

[modest leaf]

Y don't u ls swap it

[young root]

why would i do that?

[modest leaf]

Lol

[young root]

my dakota is getting a hemi hopefully staying 4wd

my cavalier is going to be stock and my cummins is going to be stock

[modest leaf]

I want one of those cars that looks and drives like a yacht

Someone made roblox vr completely standalone on quest 2 before the official release

[modest leaf]

Roblox has vr?

[full fossil]

Ye, rn it’s PCVR only

[modest leaf]

Damn be great if I was a kid still

[full fossil]

I’ll try it when it comes out to standalone late 2023

[modest leaf]

Top vr games?

I snagged a used oq2 and is legit

[granite thicket]

eh i kinda dislike it

[young root]

i've flipped 3 quest 2s

[modest leaf]

Only thing I don't like is the screen compared to my oled

[young root]

i got one for free and 2 for 150$ selling each for 300

[full fossil]

Rn I’m loving Beat Saber, VRChat, and Among Us VR

[granite thicket]

i just hate too much about it

[modest leaf]

Like

[young root]

i never cared ab vr enough to buy games for it

[granite thicket]

the ipd ajustment

the graphics

[timid meadow]

Beat saber is the wii sports of VR. My buddies tryina get me into Pavlovs shack. Apparently an fps of some kind

[modest leaf]

I delayed and realized late that vr is a game changer

[full fossil]

I got Beat Saber for free and Among Us VR is $10

[modest leaf]

Pavolv is amazing.

[full fossil]

PCVR only

[modest leaf]

Except some 13 yr old stole my pipe in game and I almost cried

[full fossil]

I made a kid cry on among us vr because he got voted out as imposter

[full fossil]

Bullies

[modest leaf]

Honestly vr is the entire reason I haven't ruled out gaming and taken another hiatus

Like, vr is legit

Really legit

[granite thicket]

ive turned from most modern games

[timid meadow]

I cannot play beat saber on pc. The cable throws me off way to much. Ive gotta be standalone in Beat Saber and The Climb specifically

[full fossil]

We didn’t even bully we just played like normal and he didn’t wanna be voted out after being caught lol

[granite thicket]

ive been really into retro gaming recently

[full fossil]

Lol

[full fossil]

Standalone beat saber is fun, I play all my games standalone because shit pc

[modest leaf]

Same. Psp, ps vita, wii

[median idol]

Most of my gaming has been older games from the 90s-early 2000s TBH

[granite thicket]

ive been doing the gameboys

[modest leaf]

Same they all support it and nes, snes, gc

[full fossil]

My first ever game was super Mario bros 3 on the Gameboy advance

[timid meadow]

I love my homebrew wii. Vita is a blast too but traded mine for the Quest ive got now

[granite thicket]

even tomb raider

its not great

[vapid smelt]

early 2000 is older now

[modest leaf]

I still love unreal

im about to do a give away

[full fossil]

Anyone know anywhere where I can get a wired Xbox one controller? Preferably around $30 or less

[manic torrent]

I am about to screw on a replacement top for a bench garden seat.

[stray island]

this is an important give away and will likely change someone life

wait wt

[manic torrent]

My life has already changed since meeting you

[stray island]

wtf is a bench garden seat

[manic torrent]

it's a bench seat. That goes in the garden.

You sit on it.

You could also call it "a box"

[stray island]

well i wanted to give someone one of my discount codes

[manic torrent]

The top rotted out due to reasons, so I replaced all the wood.

[granite thicket]

ebay

[timid meadow]

Stg sometimes people should think about what they are asking first. Nothing against you lol but ive had a few people ask me what a "photo screen plushie" is and im like uhhh its a plushie with a screen meant for photos....haha

Or like the bench garden seat. Not sure how much more accurately you can describe it

Everyones gotten so used to model names that the first thing someone calls it cant possibly be what it is kekw

[full fossil]

This guy named “Le Pierre Le Fleur” is selling his Xbox controller for $18 more than he bought it for under the original listing and the product description is “Le Pierre Le Fleur”

[wanton glade]

goofy

the rock the flower

[full fossil]

Lol

[wanton glade]

this guy is weird

[polar fern]

Rock flower?

[wanton glade]

no, "The Rock The Flower"

[full fossil]

Original price for brand new controller is $26.88 and this guy is selling his for $44.09

[wanton glade]

that's literally his username

[stray island]

@wanton glade you vibe with me?

[full fossil]

LePierreLeFleur might also be the one buying all the GPU’s

[wanton glade]

I vibe with every moving being on Earth except karens. Are you a karen ?

[stray island]

@wanton glade no im a vegan

did i mention im vegan?

[polar fern]

Stone flower is another name for lichen

[stray island]

im vegan btw.

[median idol]

Speaking of which, the state of the retro gaming market is an absolute joke. Especially in the retro computing sphere. Just look at what all the 3DFX Voodoo cards are going for

[polar fern]

Lichen subscribe? 🤔

[wanton glade]

now you did. Vegans are weird

why won't you eat how/what you're programmed to eat homie ? goofy

[stray island]

@median idol no kidding i was looking to build an older PC and this guy was 150$ for his 750ti.

[polar fern]

Stop calling people weird & no none cares about your diet m8

[wanton glade]

wired

[stray island]

@wanton glade it was a meme on vegan people, im not fond of vegan people at all

[wanton glade]

oh nice, my computer is not slow af anymore

[wanton glade]

me neither

doesn't mean I hate them. I hate their weird beliefs

[polar fern]

Well, you seem like a lovely person. 🤦‍♂️

[stray island]

i hate that they have to tell you their vegan every 5 minutes

[wanton glade]

ikr

[wanton glade]

yeah that ain't even about being a vegan, that's just being a dick

[polar fern]

So like that’s not actually a real thing

You both need to maybe interact with a wider circle of people before assuming things about how others act in real life

[modest leaf]

I used my 3dfx voodoo as collateral for my car

[stray island]

it is a real thing we had to cut a friend out of our group becasue their entire personalty was being vegan and making us feel bad for eating meat

all vegans are the same

[wanton glade]

actually, I think what I hate is not what they believe in, but how they share about it. If you're pushing it on others, you're an annoying mf, whatever your beliefs are.

[timid meadow]

Their personality was asshole and thats why you kicked em.

[wanton glade]

nah bruv

[stray island]

well also i dont want a vegan in my friend group anyways

[timid meadow]

Why?

[polar fern]

It’s almost like people can’t be bothered to hear about things that they don’t completely agree with

[wanton glade]

yeah. Guess it has nothing to do with vegans. Makes you realise how one person can ruin your image of a community

[stray island]

accomodating them for events

[median idol]

I mean yeah it's one of the more rare ones but come on....

[timid meadow]

Sounds like your personality is asshole and they may have left willingly

[wanton glade]

2K ? nah man, get a 4090

[polar fern]

It’s almost like people would rather hear about things that confirm their own life choices& situation instead of being challenged about anything

[stray island]

@timid meadow lmao if "left willingly" means we kicked her from the groupchat and all agreed to forget about her then sure

[polar fern]

So “weird”

[wanton glade]

Alr y'all have fun I'm out

[stray island]

@median idol why is that gpu so expensive???

[polar fern]

Man, if only there was a technique to communicate with others in a bidirectional type way where ideas could be exchanged, instead of people being stigmatised stereotyped and shunned

[timid meadow]

Sounds like alot more to the story then from both sides. Like in most cases. Especially since you already said you wouldnt want someone in your group specifically because of them being vegan

[stray island]

well yeah as soon as she announced she was vegan it all went down hill

also @median idol why tf is that so expensive?

[polar fern]

The more I learn about the world of ice and Fire, constructed by George RR Martin, angrier I get at how stupid the TV show Game of Thrones was. They really cheaped out on so many things.

[stray island]

and also tension only really started building up when she started telling us we were morally wrong for eating meat

[median idol]

My best guess is that the Quantum3D Obsidian2 SLI cards are one of the more exotic voodoo2s that are out there. I've seen a X24 in the wild but that's probably the most rare of the bunch. In other words, pretty much collectors items I would imagine

Though still I would not pay 2 grand for a voodoo even if I were to want one LMAO

[stray island]

why would you want to build a outdated system in the first place

[polar fern]

2k for an ancient graphics card? Hard pass.

[vapid smelt]

wdym thats cheap

[polar fern]

What am I gonna plug it into?

its gonna sit there and do nothing except collect dust & be a very expensive liability

[timid meadow]

Most movies damn near ignore the books. Enders game was a whole series that got turned into like 1 movie. Cirque Du Freak series movies were terrible, harry potter left out a bunch

[polar fern]

We’re not gonna talk about that last one

But yes, in general, you are right

[stray island]

you can play old games on a new system

[polar fern]

It’s much easier to turn a literary franchise into quick dollars by making one or two or even three crappy movies or a miniseries.

Game of Thrones is particularly insulting because it uses a bunch of stuff from the books, but a totally goes off the rails and it’s also contradictory in so many places

[timid meadow]

Hope the HP Game is decent at least

[median idol]

As someone who does retro computing, this is pretty much why I don't buy 3DFX cards for that very reason (although I was able to find a voodoo 1 for a somewhat reasonable price but still) for diving into retro computing, you can find much better for far less money FWIW

[polar fern]

Literally the more I learn about the books the more impressed I am how monumentally the show failed.

[stray island]

@median idol but what is the point of retro computing

[polar fern]

Mhm.

There are ways to get some of those older boards

[vapid smelt]

some apps and games cant run on new hardawre

[jaunty jacinth]

Can't you just emulate the old hardware?

[graceful burrow]

Not in every case

[timid meadow]

Not always. Plus you may want the lag and bugs caused in old hardware. More authentic experience

[jaunty jacinth]

Huh

[polar fern]

you can buy several broken cards & construct one graphics card out of it

[stray island]

what apps/games...

[graceful burrow]

This is why mame emulation builds in lag
They want it running just as if it's on the real arcade hardware

[polar fern]

Ever since I switched to iOS 16 from 15 the voice to text has absolutely been horrible and I don’t know how to fix it

[vapid smelt]

typical apple problems 😜

[polar fern]

Yeah, some combinations of hardware just don’t do it and it’s not an authentic experience at all and it can be particularly challenging for some components. Either low supply or have issues with breaking and needing replacing or repair in a way that would be authentic to the time period

Speech to text in iOS 15 was actually really great

[jaunty jacinth]

Can't you just roll back?

[polar fern]

No

[timid meadow]

Not on ios

[jaunty jacinth]

Apple moment

[vapid smelt]

WAIT What?!

[graceful burrow]

You think Apple is gonna give their users a choice like that?

[jaunty jacinth]

Lmaooo

[graceful burrow]

Lol
Lmao even

[stray island]

apple is the best

[jaunty jacinth]

I gave apple too much credit there

[polar fern]

It’s not really about choice, some of the apps require iOS 16 to function properly, so I would lose most of my device content forever

[jaunty jacinth]

Please add an /s after that

[timid meadow]

For plenty of people yes it is. Just not me

[polar fern]

It doesn’t really matter either way, Apple just needs to fix the issue

[jaunty jacinth]

Apple, with iOS and Mac OS make it so simple that it's easy to learn but it takes too much functionality away from me, I can't stand it

[stray island]

MacOS is the best

[jaunty jacinth]

The only reason I use mac os on my bootcamp is for garageband

[polar fern]

Well that’s because you might use your phone as a hobby piece and not an actual “just a phone”

[jaunty jacinth]

I guess

[polar fern]

Most people that I have found have an issue with iOS because they want to tinker and poke around and tinker and not just use the damn thing

[jaunty jacinth]

I just find that apple is too intrusive

[polar fern]

Tinker and poke around all you want, but most people just want something that works and is reliable

[jaunty jacinth]

I wish they had a middle ground like windows

[polar fern]

Intrusive how?

[jaunty jacinth]

Not too complicated like Linux but not too simple like mac os

[timid meadow]

Some people need them to be

[polar fern]

Middle… ground. Eh?

[jaunty jacinth]

First of all no APKs

I can't edit most files

[polar fern]

Ok and?

That’s a tinkering poking around thing

For real, I don’t think a lot of Technohead people realise just how few people actually want to poke around with their phones. They just want it to work.

[jaunty jacinth]

Yeah that's true

But then again it should be fair to both sides of the spectrum

Like windows

[graceful burrow]

Hate windows

[sharp lantern]

my issue with apple is that from my experience and what I can tell, if a phone becomes outdated then it is hard to access new apps due to the requirements being for a later version and older versions of the apps (as far as I know, I might be wrong) being inaccessible

[polar fern]

And I have no problem with people who want to tinker around, but you do have to remember that’s a very very tiny minority. And a very huge large very wealthy powerful company that has built an entire thing for the last decade and a half is not just going to change because a few hundred people want the iPhone to become their new hobby.

[wanton glade]

what're you guys talking about ?

[jaunty jacinth]

I just like having some control

[timid meadow]

Not more then windows hates itself

[polar fern]

Control?

It’s a phone, just call people and text what is there to control?

[wanton glade]

wow calm down buddy

[jaunty jacinth]

I'm not a hardcore guy who edits system files and does crazy stuff, I just like being able to manage my phone

[polar fern]

again, this is going into the hobby space

[jaunty jacinth]

I just like being able to use the OS to it's maximum potential

[timid meadow]

If you wanted control over your pc the same way you do over your phone youd use linux (aka the same base as your android phone)

[jaunty jacinth]

Not hobby, it's functionality

[stray island]

The Nvidia 30 series graphics cards are not obsolete, but they have been succeeded by the 40 series. The 30 series is still a high-performance option for gaming and other demanding tasks, but the 40 series offers improved performance and new features. The choice between the two will depend on specific needs and budget.

[jaunty jacinth]

But then you lose some of the good apple features

And apps to

[polar fern]

So you think a bunch of engineers at the $2 trillion global tech company can’t figure out how to build a phone properly & you know better? Like breh.

i’m not saying the iPhones are perfect, but holy cow dude

[wanton glade]

what're you guys arguing about ?

don't get it

[stray island]

The comparison between iOS and Android is subjective and depends on personal preferences and needs. Both operating systems have their own strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the choice between iOS and Android will depend on individual preferences, needs, and priorities.

[graceful burrow]

I'm just waiting for the next opportunity to express dislike for windows

[wanton glade]

is windows good ?

[graceful burrow]

Nah, windows sucks

[stray island]

Windows is a widely used and popular operating system. It has a large user base and supports a wide range of devices and software applications. Windows is known for its ease of use, compatibility with a variety of hardware, and support for legacy software.

However, like any operating system, Windows has its own strengths and weaknesses and may not be the best choice for everyone. The suitability of Windows as an operating system depends on individual needs and preferences. Some users may prefer alternatives such as MacOS or Linux for specific reasons such as security, customization, or simplicity.

Windows 8 in a nutshell

[stray island]

According to recent data, the global market share of operating systems is estimated as follows:

Windows: Approximately 90%
MacOS: Approximately 9%
Linux: Approximately 1%

[wanton glade]

Yo guys, I'm sick of my boring life, so I wanna install Linux on my computer. I have 120gb storage, idk if it'll be enough

[wanton glade]

L

[timid meadow]

It didnt have to be. If win8 was a mobile os instead of them trying to force all in ones, itd have been great imo

[polar fern]

Disagree. Was 100% typical msft dumpster fire

[wanton glade]

@graceful burrow what OS do you have rn

[graceful burrow]

On what

[wanton glade]

pc

[graceful burrow]

Which

[wanton glade]

bruh what

[polar fern]

Balmer calling windows phone “delightful” 😬

[median idol]

There was a time where Linux users did a protest called "Refund Windows Day" where they rallied at Microsoft for making them use their software

[wanton glade]

What OS do you prefer ?

[graceful burrow]

I use kubuntu

[timid meadow]

Plenty of us have both/all 3 os in our homes

[wanton glade]

oh ok

[stray island]

yeah well linux users make up about 1% of the population

[wanton glade]

I have 1 computer. :(

[graceful burrow]

But I daily windows because more programs I use work better natively (also I have nvidia gpu)

[wanton glade]

makes sense

[stray island]

smart

[timid meadow]

I daily Windows, with Unraid on the server, and Ubuntu dual booted (onto a removable drive) with windows for linux stuff that cant be handled by wsl quick tasks on low end machines

[graceful burrow]

If my programs worked on Linux I'd daily kubuntu in a fucking heartbeat

[wanton glade]

for a complete noob, what linux distro do you recommend ? Actually, is there a complete guide somewhere that explains what linux is ?

[median idol]

I'm also a Linux user with an Nvidia card. Also have to dual boot for the same reasons. My experience on Linux with Nvidia has been fine so far

I use Pop OS 22.04 LTS

[wanton glade]

what's dual boot

[graceful burrow]

Think of Linux as a diverse ecosystem of different distributions (discrete operating systems)

I recommend kubuntu because it's just Ubuntu with a kde plasma desktop environment, which is closer to windows than basic Ubuntu which uses gnome

[timid meadow]

When you turn on your pc you choose between windows and another os

[stray island]

bro admit ur in a linux cult

jesus christ

[wanton glade]

wow that's so sick

[polar fern]

“It’ll do” https://youtu.be/eywi0h_Y5_U

[wanton glade]

alr bet

[timid meadow]

My Ubuntu usb can even be removed and thrown into any pc i have bios access to

[wanton glade]

I have a 120gb storage laptop, can I dual boot kubuntu ?

[wanton glade]

wow nice

[graceful burrow]

I wouldn't dual boot unless you have another drive to boot from

[timid meadow]

If you dual boot use different drives. Windows doesnt like linux very much

[graceful burrow]

Each os gets its own drive

[wanton glade]

I have 2 partitions. Very weird

[wanton glade]

ok

[stray island]

es, you can dual boot with a 128GB storage, but it's important to consider a few factors to ensure that you have enough storage for both operating systems.

[timid meadow]

Just because you can doesnt mean you should recommend it. Single drive dual boot just causes headaches

[wanton glade]

which are ?

[stray island]

Operating system size: The size of the operating systems you plan to install will determine how much storage you need. Make sure that you have enough storage for both operating systems and any additional software or files you want to store.

Partition size: You'll need to create partitions for each operating system and allocate enough storage for each one. A good rule of thumb is to allocate at least 50GB for each operating system, but you may need more depending on your specific needs.

File storage: Dual booting means that you'll be using two separate operating systems, so you'll need to decide where you want to store your files. Consider using external storage, such as a hard drive or a cloud service, to store files that you want to access from both operating systems.

System performance: Keep in mind that having a smaller storage capacity can impact system performance, especially if you have limited storage for your system files, applications, and data.

[wanton glade]

oh damn

ur welcome i was just trying to help bruh

[wanton glade]

nvm bro

[stray island]

ur welcome

[wanton glade]

Does it absolutely have to be on 2 separate drives, or 2 partitions on the same drive is fine

[stray island]

2 partions are fine

[wanton glade]

alr

guess I'll wait to get another pc

with 2 nvmes

and a 3070

and a 5800h

[median idol]

Also when dual booting, it is strongly recommended to install windows first, then whatever distro you go with last

[stray island]

3080ti or bust

[wanton glade]

nah hell naw bru

[wanton glade]

alr bet

[graceful burrow]

I would highly not recommend a single drive dual boot
Windows will override grub and break both os'
And for a novice user you're gonna have problems

Two drives

[wanton glade]

I currently own a celeron n2350 laptop

[graceful burrow]

Two physically separate drives

[wanton glade]

with 128gb storage

[wanton glade]

sounds good

well, no linux for a long while for me

[stray island]

good linux is bad anyways

[wanton glade]

back to my boring life :(

[granite tinsel]

y'know what is the NT kernel based on? it had to have come from somewhere, right?

[stray island]

cons of linux are a steep learning curve for new users, hardware compatibility, limited gaming support, and its just overall less familiar.

[wanton glade]

more customizable tho

[golden talon]

Based take

[graceful burrow]

We can't be buds anymore

[golden talon]

I refuse to associate with a floatplane pilot

[wanton glade]

at least he's a gigachad mr clean

[graceful burrow]

L + ratio 1v1 me quake 1

[granite tinsel]

linux is great if you're a power user who really loves to get into the weeds but
at the end of the day there's a reason why the market is mostly made up of people who just want the damn thing to work without them having to go into a terminal constantly

[wanton glade]

because people are lazy as fuck

[stray island]

the only cons of windows include the fact that its not free but its not expensive either, and forced updates.

[granite tinsel]

my own experience with linux was that it was like there were a bunch of disparate components made by different people that are nominally supposed to work together but they don't

[golden talon]

only cons of windows is that it cant run on ARM without being a literal potato of an OS

[granite tinsel]

like the OS equivalent of playing minecraft/skyrim/starbound with hundreds of mods

yeah the mods are cool but they keep fucking with each other

[wanton glade]

🥔

[stray island]

windows is user friendly, wide compatibly, most popular OS for gaming, and extensive support from microsoft community

[golden talon]

Ill stick to my macbook

[granite tinsel]

i mean hey, might as well sell every car as a knock-down kit then

[valid siren]

The user-friendliness issues on linux are more due to a lack of adoption than anything. Having to use workarounds due to stuff not being native.

[granite tinsel]

i got mine today :D

[golden talon]

ooh which one?

[granite tinsel]

M2 max macbook pro

[golden talon]

Powerhouse of a laptop

[stray island]

@granite tinsel finally a macbook king and not a chromebook boot licker

[granite tinsel]

for sure!

[wanton glade]

bruv. back in the day, computing was an art. Spending days tweaking shit and troubleshooting was awesome. It became less of a thing overtime, but it's still super cool

[golden talon]

I bought an M2 Air for college and the battery life is unreal

[valid siren]

both are awful for different reasons.

[granite tinsel]

also i've never owned a chromebook LOL

[plush quarry]

Don't

[golden talon]

why might you say its awful lol

[plush quarry]

Just get a gaming PC

[granite tinsel]

i've used them before though; my high school had them

[stray island]

@valid siren chromebook is ass and macbook is good pls calm down

[golden talon]

Macbooks in particular

[wanton glade]

fax

[plush quarry]

Matter of fact just build a gaming PC

[granite tinsel]

it was them or the awful 5-year-old thinkpads which struggled to respond to your trackpad movements let alone launch anything

[golden talon]

Many high schools here are switching to macbook airs and ipads for education

[plush quarry]

You can't install plugin for Chromebooks anymore

[valid siren]

Chrome os: good luck trying to do anything beyond web browsing
MacOS: great until you realize it's an apple product, with everything that goes along with it.

[polar fern]

Not everyone’s lives revolve around pc gaming

[wanton glade]

chromebook and macbook is ass. Get a Linux dual boot rig with a 4070ti and a 7950x3D. NICE

[golden talon]

Another classic apple hater yay

[granite tinsel]

macOS has its perks

[plush quarry]

Macos is only good for Apple only shit

[valid siren]

The reason I know you don't use linux is because you suggested using an NVIDIA GPU with it.

[polar fern]

@golden talon just block em

[stray island]

the pros of the @granite tinsel macbook are huge performance, really good battery life, really good graphical performance, a retina display, also MAC OS, and the integration of other apple devices.

[plush quarry]

Anything that isn't supported by Apple us just good luck

[golden talon]

Wait until they realize a macbook is better for 95% of productivity workloads than any comparable windows laptop

[stray island]

chromebooks have horrible performance

[wanton glade]

I can't use Linux yet, so you're right. And I need an nvidia gpu for work, can't go around it

[valid siren]

Macbooks are good products for what they are, assuming you don't need them for what they aren't. If that makes sense.

[granite tinsel]

pro display XDR is fucking fantastic and i wish more devices out there had calibrated miniLED screens like what apple's got

[polar fern]

Lot of small 🍆 energy going on rite now 🤦‍♂️

[golden talon]

and theres very little that they cant do besides gaming lmfao

[wanton glade]

wait until they realise that getting a desktop is better in every single way

[granite tinsel]

i do have other devices to cover for my macbook's deficiencies

[valid siren]

I was talking about the hardware side, but yes.

[wanton glade]

🤡 goofy ahh provcation

[granite tinsel]

i still have a windows desktop which i'm planning to make into a pure gaming machine, and a steam deck for when i wanna play on the go

[graceful burrow]

You must know a lot about small 🍆

[stray island]

chromebooks have a very limited offline functionality, if you dont have internet its a piece of junk, compatibility issues, very limited storage, and they are pretty flimsy

[polar fern]

I’m not sure people even realise how small of a niche gaming PCs actually are.

[valid siren]

tbh eggplants taste bad

[polar fern]

only when it’s cold out 🤣

[granite tinsel]

also tbh i'm a little surprised to hear that macbook airs are back in the education space

[wanton glade]

bro istg if you try to get people angry with the good old smol pp provoc, you're ass. And people who get offended are worse

[valid siren]

don't think anyone is arguing against the idea of chromebooks being a waste of plastic

[granite tinsel]

felt like for a while apple was too premium for schools LOL

[golden talon]

first results for gaming pc

[polar fern]

Apple has always had a very strong presence in the education sector

[graceful burrow]

I am

[valid siren]

Interesting.

[golden talon]

i think chromebooks are great for kids under 10

[granite tinsel]

well actually that much is true; my high school had a secondary computer lab in the art classroom which consisted of all imacs

[wanton glade]

"gaming pc" = nice name that adds 500 - 1000 $ to the overall price

add some rgb

[granite tinsel]

never got to use them 'cause i never took those classes LOL

[golden talon]

hell any preteen that needs a laptop should get a chromebook

[wanton glade]

and you got a business going

[valid siren]

Chrome OS is what happens when someone calls MacOS a fischer-price operating system and an engineer takes it personally.

[graceful burrow]

I got a chromebook for dnd and it's fucking perfect for it
Gave it to my mom for her stuff and she loves it
Adores the battery life

[stray island]

chromebooks are only good for children and students, older adults, and very very casual computer users.

[granite tinsel]

yeah i think that's a good niche for a chromebook

[wanton glade]

literally no preteen needs a laptop

[polar fern]

There are a few chromebook models out there which actually do have some decent performance in every day tasks but again these are not high horsepower devices and they’re not meant to be

[golden talon]

Youd be surprised lol

[wanton glade]

they might WANT, but not NEED a laptop

[median idol]

The moment you realise that ChromeOS is based on Gentoo

[granite tinsel]

a private school i went to sold my family a fujitsu lifebook for my use when i was 11

[golden talon]

my brother is in 1st grade and he takes a chromebook to school everyday

they use it a lot too

[wanton glade]

alr, but that's private school

[polar fern]

Not every computer needs to be some 1500 watt rgb behemoth

[granite tinsel]

true LMAO

[wanton glade]

what the fuck...

1st grade ?

[golden talon]

he goes to the same public school i went to when I was his age

But we have a 12 year difference between us

[valid siren]

No, but a degree of user-serviceability would not be out of place, especially in a school environment.

[golden talon]

[polar fern]

12. Years.

[wanton glade]

I got my first phone at 10yo lmao, and my first pc at 15

[polar fern]

Wat

[granite tinsel]

i hate chromeOS because i know that as soon as google gets the chance they're just gonna screw over the open-source community like they have with chromium and AOSP

[timid meadow]

Define user friendly? Because i gave 6 year olds linux and they were fine....

[golden talon]

my parents are funky like that

[granite tinsel]

i don't want linux to just become a niche subset of chromeOS

[stray island]

@timid meadow prove it.

[polar fern]

Well, their body, their choice

[valid siren]

The "user friendly" argument is just what people are used to.

[wanton glade]

linux is open source right ?

[median idol]

Yes

[valid siren]

That's the entire selling point.

[granite tinsel]

yes, but chromeOS, which is built upon linux, is proprietary

[wanton glade]

pov : irresponsibility

[timid meadow]

Howso? What you want me to do, let you videochat my wifes nieces?

[wanton glade]

noice

[valid siren]

...and strips away all of its versatility.

[golden talon]

nah my parents are very responsible and incredibly well off

[granite tinsel]

just like how chrome is a proprietary browser built upon the open-source chromium, and android is a proprietary OS built upon the open-source AOSP

[stray island]

present evidence that you 6 year old niece was able to use linux that is all

[granite tinsel]

if you start at a young age you'll learn it no matter how arcane it may be; i can believe it

[wanton glade]

"my body my choice" bro that's the worst possible excuse ever. It's like saying "I'm a responisble human being" but you're depending on your parents 🤡

[golden talon]

you can actually do some pretty linux-y stuff within chroot, ive experimented quite a bit with it

[manic torrent]

lol I started using linux at about .. 15? in 1996.

[stray island]

bro is a talking fossil

[timid meadow]

I installed it on both a laptop and chromebox expecting to need to help them constantly. According to them and their mother, both machines have been great

[granite tinsel]

my first experiences with computers were with macs LOL

[wanton glade]

good days

[granite tinsel]

i remember fuckin around with my family's beige macintosh running OS 9

[timid meadow]

How do you want me to prove it? Lmao

[granite tinsel]

and later a powermac G3

[valid siren]

What rubs me the wrong way with both chromebooks and macbooks is their disposability. Chromebooks have a set date after which they no longer get feature updates, macbooks are, well, macbooks.

[stray island]

for now and likely the future, MacOS will be superior

[granite tinsel]

our first OS X machine was a 2007 aluminum imac tho

guess my parents never bothered updating the powermac LOL

[median idol]

My first experience with macs are when Apple was still using the PowerPC architecture

[valid siren]

I just don't see any ways in which ChromeOS does anything better than linux.

[golden talon]

I dont disagree but you can repurpose old chromebooks into linux machines very easily tbh

[polar fern]

Is someone actually putting chrome books and MacBooks in the same category? Bro

[granite tinsel]

my mom somehow bricked it when trying to system transfer to that imac...

[wanton glade]

wow you guys are going wild

[timid meadow]

The proof is that both machines are over a year old and i havent helped them once, and both are still used for schooling

[polar fern]

Clearly this person has never used a Mac

[granite tinsel]

macbooks aren't disposable; lack of repairability =/= disposability

[stray island]

well doesnt change the fact that only 1% of people use linux

[polar fern]

It’s called iFixit

[granite tinsel]

software-wise macs in general can last a long time with official updates

[polar fern]

JFC

[stray island]

linux is less popular for a reason

[golden talon]

dont need to repair if it never breaks

[valid siren]

Not having a marketing budget'll do that

[wanton glade]

yo guys. I got a broken laptop with a 256gb drive. What can I do with said laptop ?

[timid meadow]

Love how you keep moving the bar and then someone proves why your point isnt as big of an issue as you act

[manic torrent]

people use linux every day. They just don't realise it

[golden talon]

pull the drive and part it out

[wanton glade]

it works, but the screen is ded

[valid siren]

bold of you to assume macbooks don't have critical design flaws lol

[golden talon]

name a critical design flaw in the apple silicon macbooks

[polar fern]

Oh boy, here we go with the design flaws

[granite tinsel]

the current macbook design is pretty solid tbh

[stray island]

jesus christ when i say linux i mean having a linux based OS installed on your PC

[polar fern]

Is it because it doesn’t have enough RGB?

[stray island]

not ur little makeshift android phone

[granite tinsel]

only real issue is the soldered SSD which means replacing it will be uh.

[median idol]

I remember my old elementary school having a shit ton of these back then. As much as I rag on Apple, I gotta admit those bring back memories

[golden talon]

its priced very fairly lol, compared to other ultrabooks in the competing sector

[granite tinsel]

my parents had a powermac G3 too

i used that all the time

my mom had an imac G3 at her office in SFU

[polar fern]

My only issue with the Apple Silicon stuff is that you cannot have upgraded memory or storage. And that is just the SOC, it’s not even the whole computer itself.

[wanton glade]

DAMN THAT SUCKS

[golden talon]

everything besides the storage is on the chip thats all

[granite tinsel]

yeah i dislike that too; the RAM is understandable since it's part of the SoC, but the storage is really annoying

[valid siren]

usb-c ports that still can't seem to handle hubs that other computers can just fine, for starters.

[granite tinsel]

that's a software issue

[golden talon]

what a critical design flaw that affects every single macbook user out there

[granite tinsel]

likely due to macOS's smaller install base too

[golden talon]

I have a USBC port hooked up to literally 3 daisy chained adapters, one of them made in 2008 and have no issues

that one USBC port powers a full sized keyboard, a mouse, a calculator and charges my phone

[valid siren]

Good for you mate.

[golden talon]

Let's hear more of these "critical design flaws"

[median idol]

I do admit that I do have a soft spot for classic macOS and all the old power macs and iMacs. It was an interesting time for Apple for sure and especially since they were on the verge of bankruptcy at the time before the iMac G3 saved them

[urban vale]

[granite tinsel]

classic macOS is nostalgic to me too, but i also have nostalgia for OS X since that made up the second half of my early childhood

playing flash games on the household aluminum imac

[polar fern]

I remember my time on America Online in the Mac or PC chat room. It’s literally the same arguments as 20 years ago & it’s still a bunch of nonsense coming from people who may have used a Mac for about 15 minutes if that

[granite tinsel]

returning to macOS after over a decade feels like reconnecting with a lost part of myself LOL

[golden talon]

I hated on mac until apple silicon came out

[granite tinsel]

remembering some of the quirks of the OS, like how dmg installers worked

[golden talon]

intel macs are objectively dogshit

[wanton glade]

Yo guys, what can I do with my broken laptop ? I can't get anyting out of it except the storage.

[golden talon]

recycle it fam

[granite tinsel]

take it to an ewaste recycler

[wanton glade]

ram is cooked, and everything else works

[timid meadow]

Screen can be reused if not broken

[stray island]

break it for fun

[valid siren]

Amazing what you can do when your instruction set doesn't have fifteen hundred useless ones on it

[polar fern]

Well, I have two Intel Macs and they are totally fine

[wanton glade]

it is

It works, but the screen is ded

[urban vale]

you just asked this question

why are you repeating yourself lol

[stray island]

and as a software engineer, MacOS is the best

[valid siren]

look at the cooling arrangement in them lol

[timid meadow]

Can maybe find a new screen?

[wanton glade]

nope

[polar fern]

What about the cooling arrangement?

[median idol]

Yeah once they switched to using Intel CPUs..... There was basically no point in getting one (if you could hackintosh that is)

[wanton glade]

costs a whole laptop

[granite tinsel]

there's a reason why if you were to plot a line chart of user skill level vs usage of macOS, you get an inverse bell curve

[urban vale]

ok so get rid of it based closed

[golden talon]

based closed

[urban vale]

macOS is the bomb

[polar fern]

Okay, so what exactly am I looking for?

[golden talon]

the bomb that dropped and exploded all over intel and AMD

[wanton glade]

ok I'm nuts ig, I think I'm gonna merge 2 computers

[granite tinsel]

you're welcome to try

if it works make sure to share your frankenstein creation in #1019713714968088586

[wanton glade]

It's actually very fucked up, so here me out

[granite tinsel]

'cause i wanna see that shit for myself

[polar fern]

@valid siren can you be more specific about the cooling?

[urban vale]

the friendliness of the UI and the friendliness of the Apple Eco system (WHEN it works) makes them optimal for low knowledge/technologically challenged users

[golden talon]

Intel mac cooling is ass, apple silicon mac cooling is fine

[valid siren]

[valid siren]

Yes, they finally figured out how heatpipes work.

[urban vale]

it’s what I enjoy about apple products. and I’ve been using Windows for 20+ years

[polar fern]

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of my amazing Delta fans https://youtu.be/DVqObWoB80g

[full fossil]

yeah, the bomb

[granite tinsel]

indeed; i was worried i was gonna have trouble readjusting to macOS after using windows exclusively for over 10 years, but i'm already using it like i never stopped

[golden talon]

never run into an issue with the ecosystem never working and the optimization for workflows makes them highly favorable to high profile developers and educational institutions alike

[urban vale]

they’re bombs, made in a bomb factory

[granite tinsel]

ah yes. the bomb. made in the bomb factory. the bomb to kill kuzc--

[urban vale]

biased because I have family in support at apple so I get to hear the horror stories, but I’ve never had an issue

[full fossil]

bombs

[wanton glade]

I currently own a modified version of the hp probook x360, that was given by school. I had the latest model, broke it, and now I have the older one. I wanna take the mobo out of the newest, put it in the old one's casing, and get back my 256gb drive. So, I'm basically migrating a laptop to another because the sceen is ded.
How messed up is that ?
