I am not arguing that some aren't trying to scam people or make a quick buck... then again those aren't the ones I support. I made an educated decision to support Eth and I think it WILL be something used widely in a decade or two

[polar fern]

There’s a word for people who act the way this person is, but I’m not going to say it & leave it here because I don’t wanna drag the chat into drama and I don’t want to get banned so I’m going to leave the topic at that

Feel free to send it to me in a private message. You won't hurt my feelings lol

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a game, yes

[valid trellis]

No tax crimes committed here. I had to pay my nominal tax rate on all coins generated and I also had to pay capital gains (or get a credit on losses)

[fossil frost]

the world is full of selfish greedy shitbags, and thats why the rest of us cant have nice things

[jaunty compass]

yep

[valid trellis]

No, you can't have nice things because we allow the 1% to buy off politicians which has led to the pooling of wealth at the top we see now. When many jobs don't even pay a livable wage... all so that the top can get bigger bonuses

[polar fern]

Wow, this turned out really great. It’s so delicious.

[fossil frost]

we cant have nice things because of greedy shitbags... shitbags can exist outside of the 1% too

[polar fern]

@fossil frost they still pretending to be social justice warriors with their mining rig?

[fossil frost]

yep

[valid trellis]

That is what happens when you build your country on capitalism. The whole point of it is to make as much money as possible and use that money to secure more power

[jaunty compass]

💀

[polar fern]

Probably because a lot of enterprise grade equipment still uses them

[jaunty compass]

8 core i7, fastest ones on 1151 other than i9s, i think

[uncut citrus]

Is there not a white 6800XT?

[jaunty compass]

high end for a specific platform stays expensive for longer

[manic torrent]

I mean, it was a fixed width value before ... 😉 (but other than that you're not wrong)

[fossil frost]

yes, but the people who take part in that slash and burn approach dont lie about it and pretend they are doing good... they say nothing at all

[hearty spear]

older, hard to find tech.
Generally it's easier to upgrade, as a 12400 or 13400 will be as fast, or faster, and the same price.

[jaunty compass]

I know

look at the prices for a 7700k

[fossil frost]

yep... 7500 are almost as high too... its nuts

[full fossil]

whats up? xP

[polar fern]

@full fossil like I said - many datacentres and other enterprise outfits sill use these on large scale. Until they move on to newer hardware, they will remain higher in price.

[valid trellis]

I didn't do anything wrong. All of those gpus that people are mad I purchased all went to people who use them for gaming (now) and most of them for prices they could actually afford.

If you want to talk about ethically bankrupt that falls on people who scalped cards. All of mine went to a dedicate purpose that didn't prey on others

[jaunty compass]

it's because of the sunk cost fallacy

you already have that motherboard, you don't want to have to buy a new cpu and board when you already have the board

[polar fern]

You will probably find a lower price per unit if you buy thousand + of them

[fossil frost]

what you did was greedy and selfish... you can justify it all you want... nobody is listening to your thinly veiled argument

[manic torrent]

mehhhhhh, in the scheme of things, people do much worse

[polar fern]

Like landlords?

[fossil frost]

"he murdered somebody" "thats ok though, some people murder hundreds of people"

[manic torrent]

people die every day

[manic torrent]

exactly.

[polar fern]

🍿👀

[valid trellis]

I don't need to justify it. Just trying to help a man lost in the desert find water. I already know people need to find a way to blame their problems on others.

Just think of these back and forth responses as an attempt to educate you and help you find the truth or perspective you so desperately need

[fossil frost]

no not really.. you cant say somebodies shitbag behaviour isnt shitbag behaviour because other people are worse shitbags

[jaunty compass]

this is more pretentious than the original translation of pathologic

[valid trellis]

Ofc it is. I need to have fun too 😄

[full fossil]

every day 0.5% of me dies :V
usually its when dealing with other people

[fossil frost]

yes, it was.. "meh... people do far worse"...

[jaunty compass]

have you seen the dialogue in the original pathologic

[polar fern]

@full fossil die a little when we read the news every day die a lot when a trusted beloved one betrays

[manic torrent]

yeah but normal people every day do far worse. You're saying it's unethical, but realistically that ... depends.

[full fossil]

i thought u were gonna say that everyone dies a little when reading my messages xD

[polar fern]

Naw

[manic torrent]

even "scalping" - Realistically people scalping are simply taking advantage of a pre-existing market condition.

[polar fern]

In many places, scalping is actually illegal

[valid trellis]

True, but we can all agree to hate them 😛

[jaunty compass]

they're actively fucking other people over

I have no sympathy for scalpers especially

[valid trellis]

We can blame the politicians for loosening scalping laws over the last few decades

[polar fern]

Stub hub is just like Mos Eisley at times

[manic torrent]

yes, scalping of actual tickets, etc - a specifically finite resource for which there is generally greater demand than supply, but this is also affected by the behaviour of ticketing companies etc.

[jaunty compass]

i'm glad i never go to concerts

[manic torrent]

how are they fucking other people over?

[jaunty compass]

they're taking advantage of people and acting as a middle man, draining money from someone who was unable to beat automatic purchase bots

[polar fern]

I can feel the mods reaching for the chat nuke button

[jaunty compass]

because most scalpers use bots to auto buy things

[manic torrent]

I don't do it a lot now, but I used to buy stuff and flip it. I would also buy a part from japan and add 50% and resell it

[jaunty compass]

flipping something isn't necessarily scalping

[manic torrent]

what's scalping then?

[jaunty compass]

flipping something is just savvy business
getting it at a good price and selling it at a fair price

scalping is buying something at a good or normal price and selling it for way more

[manic torrent]

If I buy two cards, one for me and one for a mate, and he turns out to have got his own card, and I resell it for a profit, am I scalping? What's the difference? intent?

[fossil frost]

hoarding in an effort to artificially inflate the market... ie. buying 100s of tickets so you are the only place people can realistically buy tickets from, and exploiting that fact by ramping the price right up

[manic torrent]

yes, but the scalpers did NOT artifically inflate the market. They took advantage of market conditions.

miners inflated the market - and not artificially, really. There was increased demand.

[fossil frost]

they took advantage of market conditions, which then made those market conditions worse

[jaunty compass]

they actively made the market conditions significantly worse by buying thousands of cards with bots every time cards dropped

[polar fern]

🤔

[manic torrent]

it made the market conditions slightly worse - but made the general price reflect the actual market value of the cards at the time.

[fossil frost]

their days are numbered 🙂

[polar fern]

Good

[manic torrent]

hardly - it's been decades.

[jaunty compass]

I personally rufused to buy scalped products; i didn't get a new gpu until april of 2022

[polar fern]

No, they are in serious trouble now

[valid trellis]

Despite scalpers and despite people looking for cards to mine with... I never had a single issue getting cards and not once did I use a bot or buy from a scalper

[fossil frost]

UK's CMA have their sights on them

[jaunty compass]

you probably were near a microcenter

[manic torrent]

oh things might have to change, but they have been horrible for many decades, and will continue to be so, but maybe they will have to change a bit.

[full fossil]

thats the end of that conversation xD

[valid trellis]

I was, but that only accounted for maybe 1/3 to half my cards

[jaunty compass]

micro center consistently had cards and that was about it

[polar fern]

Venues should be able to sell their own tickets at prices that the venue themselves set. Adding a middleman creates incentive for abuse.

[valid trellis]

I actually found a community in my area that ordered in bulk straight from China

Took almost 2 months to get them, but we did

I am guessing the cards Linus sold off were acquired in much the same way

[polar fern]

Plus venues setting their own pricing allows for venue specific custom packages for attendees.

The fundamental problem is that the value of the cards as miners far exceeded the value of the cards for gaming. This isn't a problem scalpers created. This is a problem crypto and nvidia and amd and various others created over years of doing both normal and slightly dodgy shit

Hell, nvidia flat out lying about where there cards were going? That's much worse.

scalpers are a SYMPTOM, not a cause.

[jaunty compass]

Linus torvalds says it best

[valid trellis]

Nvidia is paying the price now though. Their newest gen sales are down because of the sheer amount of used 30xx cards available for cheap

[jaunty compass]

nvidia, fuck you

[manic torrent]

oh yeah, stuff below the 4090 isn't moving

[valid trellis]

and honestly for most people a 3070,3080 or 3090 is more than they need

[manic torrent]

I have a 3080ti and I ... genuinely don't really need more for the forseeable future

[jaunty compass]

nvidia is paying the price for ada lovelace being garbage

[valid trellis]

Most of the 40xx are overkill for the vast majority

[jaunty compass]

not only that, but the 4090 is the only one that's a good value

so none of the other cards are really worth buying
you either get a 4090 or some used card

[jaunty compass]

or a 7900 xtx if that's your price range

[manic torrent]

I paid $1500 AUD for a 3070 EKWB in march 2021, but then in Jan 2023 I paid $700 AUD for a 3080ti and got $500 for my 3070, so it's not like it doesn't balance out.

[jaunty compass]

i just have a 6600 xt i got in 2022 tbh

i just haven't needed anything better since i game at 1440p and don't play anything that new

[polar fern]

She’s a thiccboi

[manic torrent]

I also have a 6600xt I got in 2022 as an egpu

[polar fern]

4070 ti from gigabyte

I kinda like the look of that one

[jaunty compass]

the 6600 xt is quite close to a 3060 ti in performance

atm i don't really need anything faster 🗿

[manic torrent]

oh it's a great value card.

[jaunty compass]

yeah

i got mine for like $300 in april of 2022

it was a good price back then. brand new at below msrp

[manic torrent]

yeah so I think that's similar to me

[polar fern]

Rear of that same card

[manic torrent]

oooh that looks very cool

[polar fern]

The fin spacing is pretty good and the heat pipe spacing is also good

[manic torrent]

6 Jun 2022,499.00 aud. 500 Australian Dollar equals
353.80 United States Dollar

I bought a specific version though, I needed it to fit in my egpu box 🙂

[jaunty compass]

i got the powercolor fighter 6600 xt

just the first new in box one i found at the price i was willing to pay

i'm pretty sure it's still under factory warranty, too

[manic torrent]

haha mine is the same exact one

[jaunty compass]

in my desktop i have a 3d printed gpu support that's probably completely unnecessary

i don't want any sag on my 6600 xt smh

[polar fern]

It looks really well designed

[manic torrent]

yeah see I just go watercooling, but the heatsink from my 3080ti was a huge chonker

[polar fern]

I guess you could do that, but if you have something that is mostly open with a lot of airflow, this may be more cost-effective

[jaunty compass]

i use an aio for my cpu but that's the only watercooling in my pc

i have a watercooled gpu but it was to save my eardrums

[balmy drum]

Every time I look in the server hardware Bob is trolling

[manic torrent]

oh, watercooling is not cost effective, but it's quieter and much more awesome and RGB friendly

I wonder if you could take the heat energy exhausted from a datacentre and use it to do more work.

Like, maybe use it to heat up coffee in the break room or something

take 1500 W and multiply by say 8,000

You should be able to do something with that

[balmy drum]

Probably but it wouldn't be efficient

[polar fern]

Well, if it’s already done work, it doesn’t matter if it’s efficient really

high end CRTs are getting more and more expensive

[balmy drum]

Not that much more

You still get made fun of by enthusiasts for spending more than $200 on a 21"

[polar fern]

Many of them have lead coatings on the tubes to shield from EM.

[fossil frost]

lucky if you can find one for under £200 on ebay right now

[balmy drum]

eBay market is different cuz shipping one costs at least $80

[fossil frost]

im not on about shipping.. im on about the base price

[polar fern]

Shipping CRTs is very expensive because they are heavy as fk

[balmy drum]

Not only that, people can hold onto them for longer so they're willing to keep the prices high

[polar fern]

And they’re fragile too

I have a lot of tubes ngl

Some would say too many, I'd say not enough

not as fragile as you would think.. when i was a kid, i had a 24" crt tv in my room, and when i was trying to plug something in round the back of it once, it fell from my desk, and hit the floor screen down... shitting myself.. i picked it back up and was expecting to tell my parents "i found it there when i came home"... but it was fine... not a thing wrong with it

[polar fern]

@fossil frost the weight of the tube can actually cause the housing of these TVs and monitors to crack if you’re not careful

[balmy drum]

Lol when people talk about monitors I always say "can you do this to your LCD tho" and start banging on the screen

[frank owl]

[jaunty compass]

I value full control over my devices over any one feature

[golden talon]

I can fit my phone, wallet, airpods, keys, and still have space for another phone in one pocket

I remember in high school I could fit my headphones in my pants too

[full fossil]

Get Arch xP

[jaunty compass]

i only use windows 11 because there are many things i do on my pc that I just can't do on linux

[golden talon]

gamers

[jaunty compass]

like
no drivers exist for them and proton and wine don't make them work

i use a lot of obscure programs for windows and play vr games

[vapid smelt]

i can fit a water bottle in my pocket

[golden talon]

same

[jaunty compass]

only one?

[golden talon]

maybe two

[full fossil]

Like what? Which game? Which software?

[finite cloud]

Same

Now a lot of stuff I use works…it just sucks to get it there

[vapid smelt]

im finally upgrade my stock storage in the steam deck

[finite cloud]

Mostly games don’t work out for me

[finite cloud]

:D

[full fossil]

Valorant?

[jaunty compass]

vr games
my vr headset doesn't have linux drivers that actually work; the open source ones don't have positional tracking

and I use obscure 3ds modding software and DS modding software that don't have linux support

[finite cloud]

Nah I don’t play that

[golden talon]

Overwatch rn

[finite cloud]

Uhh. Mostly anything that’s not on steam. If it’s not on steam I’m in jank city

Ah yes vr games

[golden talon]

I love that COD moved to steam

Rare blizzard W

[finite cloud]

Oh WSA is also one. I don’t know of a good program to run android apps

[full fossil]

Oh xD I remember this conversation, mb, i forget usernames of whom I ask OwO
Bad choice on the last part, unless someone forcing you to use something specific, there are way better alternatives like blender OwO

[finite cloud]

They knew.

[jaunty compass]

i mean

i'd go for more than 512

[jaunty compass]

what? what do you mean blender?

[past egret]

and then netease gives them the biggest L ever

[finite cloud]

If I upgrade my steam deck I’ll probably get a 1tb ssd. I have an SD card in there though since im not ready to get inside of mine yet

[jaunty compass]

i said modding not modelling

[vapid smelt]

the 1tb comes out at the end of the month for $160, and i already have a 512gb sd card in it so in total ill have 1tb

[finite cloud]

I thought you said modeling too oops. I saw 3D mod- and assumed that

[full fossil]

Oh xD what's a ds modding

[jaunty compass]

as in
modding 3ds and DS games

extracting and editing their game files

[finite cloud]

What storage size do you have currently?

I have the 256gb one

[jaunty compass]

that kind of thing; i'm working with obscure games that haven't been extensively mapped and only found one software that actually worked and it didn't have any linux versions

[vapid smelt]

stock 64gb emmc

[finite cloud]

Yeah okay you definitely wanna upgrade that

[full fossil]

I see, Sounds really specific xD

[jaunty compass]

i just upgraded mine with a pcie gen 3 drive from ebay that has 256 gigs of storage lol

it was like $20 so it was worth it for me tbh

[finite cloud]

$20 for a upgrade like that ain’t bad

[jaunty compass]

indeed

[jaunty compass]

yeah, it was a good purchase

[finite cloud]

The Steam Deck calls itself a computer lol

It’s not wrong I just thought it was funny

[jaunty compass]

well it is

behind game mode it's just arch linux

[full fossil]

Mmmmm

[jaunty compass]

it's an arch linux distro optimized for the deck hardware

[full fossil]

I like that

[jaunty compass]

it's also quite nice as a desktop experience too

[full fossil]

Sometimes I read arch wiki before bed

[jaunty compass]

i hooked it up to a 1440p monitor and it's quite good for a normal desktop experience

[finite cloud]

Yeah, it is indeed just an arch computer

[full fossil]

Kde plasma is nice

[finite cloud]

Ive done that before too and it felt pretty normal to use

[jaunty compass]

yeah
it was just a pretty good desktop experience

the 4 zen 2 cores and 16 gigs of ram make a great desktop experience on arch

[golden talon]

Big boy battery

[jaunty compass]

the murder pillow

[finite cloud]

Spicy

[jaunty compass]

i have a 3d printed steam deck dock i've used for a while and it works very well for hooking up the desk to my main monitor on my desk and using it like a desktop pc

it's quite a good experience

[full fossil]

I'm glad we agree on something

[jaunty compass]

i need to replace my sticks with the hall effect ones soon

i have them, i just need to get around to replacing them

[finite cloud]

Yours go bad already?

[jaunty compass]

no

but they're a substantial upgrade in things like first person games

[finite cloud]

Oh I see. Well I do have them on wishlist so hey maybe I’ll get around to buying them someday

[wintry dagger]

go on, pop it

[full fossil]

As cool as steam deck is, it's horrible compared to normal desktop OwO

[golden talon]

mmmm yes battery acid

[finite cloud]

Well, I mean, yeah. It’s a Nintendo switch running a desktop OS. You think that’s easy to use?

[wintry dagger]

take a sip

[finite cloud]

But gaming wise it’s great

[full fossil]

so I need help where do I ask for that or can I just do it here?

[wintry dagger]

#tech-chat-1

[finite cloud]

You can ask here if you want or use the tech support

You don’t need to ask to ask btw just ask

[wintry dagger]

yeah we dont care, im just saying if you want to do it there its also ok

[golden talon]

I need to sell my nintendo switch

[jaunty compass]

It's not really competing with a desktop

It's competing with other $300-500 devices like the switch or those awful cheap HP laptops

[golden talon]

I finished xenoblade chronicles 2 and im halfway through 3

[full fossil]

I have an older motherboard and I'm trying to find the recent bios update for it but there's so many versions I need some help this is the motherboard I have m5a78l-m I keep finding very at the years and versions and I don't know which one's the latest

[finite cloud]

I wish thinking of doing that but I feel bad because it was a birthday present

[wintry dagger]

I love my switch but I basically just use it for yt, splatoon, and breath of the wild

[golden talon]

I sold my copy of BOTW

i played like 30 mins of it and went "Genshin is more my type of open world"

[jaunty compass]

I haven't touched my switch since I finished Metroid dread

[wintry dagger]

I got the special edition mario red and blue one, and it was the last thing my grandma got me for cmas so im kinda stuck with a console I like only use once a month

[golden talon]

I figure I can get at least $250 out of my switch oled

maybe 275

nintendo stuff just doesnt depreciate

[wintry dagger]

is it the rego white one or the neon joycons

[golden talon]

White one, target didnt have the neon iirc

[wintry dagger]

oof

[finite cloud]

I want to get a hackable switch at least so I can dump my roms

[minor rivet]

taskbar kinda looks like windows

[jaunty compass]

I wonder how they tried justifying the switch OLED price

[finite cloud]

Ya. It’s KDE

[wintry dagger]

tbf, if you're gonna get a switch I'd just spend the 50 bucks to get a nicer console

[fossil frost]

we are nintendo, we are the only ones in this space, people will buy it anyway

[gilded quest]

the OLED is worth $50

[vapid smelt]

@delicate solstice oi i found you on a yt video

[finite cloud]

I wish it was $50

[wintry dagger]

not worth it if you already have a switch, but worth it if you're looking to get a switch

[gilded quest]

shush you know what i mean

[finite cloud]

Hehe

[jaunty compass]

Honestly at this point idk if a switch is even worth buying

Good emulators exist for it and so does the deck

[wintry dagger]

I cant wait until something the size of a switch can play horizon forbidden west on max settings

[jaunty compass]

Maybe in 10 more years

[fossil frost]

you could right now, but, it would heat up like a volcano, and, be as melty as a volcano too

[wintry dagger]

it rlly is, but it also rlly depends on the use case

[jaunty compass]

I haven't even touched my switch since I got the deck

[wintry dagger]

its overpriced af i'll give you that but its worth it

[finite cloud]

Buying it now? Nah not really unless you want to play Nintendo games only. Because the rest of the games are available on PC or console

[wintry dagger]

the deck is also a full blown pc, not an android tablet with controllers

[jaunty compass]

A switch is only worth it if you don't want to bother setting up an emulator and you only want to play Nintendo's exclusives

[gilded quest]

isn't the switch BSD based

[wintry dagger]

uhh english

[finite cloud]

If I figure out someway to get my games off my switch lite onto an emulator then I’ll start using one

[jaunty compass]

The only switch worth buying is like

The lite because it's actually a decent price point

[jaunty compass]

Buy a modchip for your switch lite, I suppose

[finite cloud]

Is not the Nintendo switch based off the not so linux-based operating system FreeBSD?

[wintry dagger]

no, its a version of android

[fossil frost]

they claim "reverse engineered from", which is why they include the licence, same for android

[jaunty compass]

No it's not

It's an evolution of the 3ds OS which was based on BSD code

[fossil frost]

BSD isnt linux-based... BSD is older than linux for a start... if anything.. linux is BSD based

[wintry dagger]

mf you just looked that up bc I just looked it up to check if I was right

[finite cloud]

I did say no so linux based. Because it’s classified as linux sometimes but it isn’t

[jaunty compass]

No I didn't, I've had arguments about this before and I've been in the switch scene since 2019

[fossil frost]

no, they include the android licence and pay for it, so they can C+P certain code or copy certain ways of doing things that they learned from reading the android code

[jaunty compass]

Actually, late 2018

[finite cloud]

Who cares anyways. I would have looked it up too

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jaunty compass]

I left the switch scene because of how incredibly toxic it is

[wintry dagger]

then linus was wrong bc I saw a video on the android port thing and he said the stock os is android

[jaunty compass]

Like genuinely

[jaunty compass]

Linus is wrong

[wintry dagger]

linus says alot of dumb shit so it rlly doesnt suprise me

[jaunty compass]

The switch uses an OS called horizon, which is based on the 3ds operating system which is based on BSD code.
The switch can run Android because of an exploit in the original revision of the system that gives total system access

And because it's literally just an Nvidia shield TV with a lower clock speed and more ram

[fossil frost]

it can have android built for it, and flashed to it.. because basically anything can have that done

if it has a known SOC, you can build android for it

[jaunty compass]

The switch is literally just an Nvidia shield TV with a lower clock speed and an extra gig of ram

💀

[finite cloud]

Kind of funny how it’s main competitor (the steam deck) uses an amd

[jaunty compass]

Lmao

[wintry dagger]

thats bc intel or nvidia cant make good performing low wattage socs

[golden talon]

its def worth it over the normal switch

[golden talon]

nvidias new tegra lineup is pretty good

its just that nobody uses them besides car manufacturers

[summer folio]

I can't stop watching the AI Live Generated 24/7 New SeinFeld Content on Twitch.

[low vessel]

what would be better for a computer (without amp) a "beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO - 250 OHM" or a "beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO - 80 OHM"? (They are same price)

[jaunty compass]

the switch uses a soc from 2015
it's not really a fair comparison; but they're forced into it because of price class

[golden talon]

Yeah thats an 8 year old Tegra chip

[summer folio]

80 Ohm alledgedly have best bass last time I checked anyways

[summer folio]

So that one

[wintry dagger]

shit 2015 was 8 years ago

wow

[golden talon]

2016 was peak world

[manic torrent]

2000 was 22 years ago

[summer folio]

More Basses = Better Sound

[golden talon]

23

[summer folio]

[wintry dagger]

[manic torrent]

lol. NYE 1999 I had a flip phone, and drove a 180sx. A+++++++++++

[golden talon]

180SX holy fucking based

[jaunty compass]

if nintendo didn't sell the system at 300 and 350, this comparison wouldn't make sense

[summer folio]

I got my first phone in 2002, Small siemens, later upgraded to GIANT NOKIA BRICK PHONE

[jaunty compass]

luckily, nintendo like profit so we can shit on them

[summer folio]

None had MMS, only SMS.

[golden talon]

I actually expected the console to cost more than $300 when i first saw it

The versatility of the console is what makes it really nice

[vapid smelt]

Shure SRH840 https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/ <he uses the fancy 50 grand heads for his measurements

[jaunty compass]

back when the pc portables were way more than the switch, i was all over it; running android and shit

but now

well; now is different

nintendo doesn't have the best gaming device in the price glass anymore

[wintry dagger]

a console isnt just about the power, its about the whole experience and the switch is a rlly cool console because its so versatile

[jaunty compass]

a console isn't just about power; but the games have to actually work well

third party ports to the switch have been poor and even nintendo's first party and second party titles have been struggling to run on the hardware

[wintry dagger]

the steam deck is literally a whole pc, and can run pc applications with no issues, a switch cant

[jaunty compass]

the deck is objectively a lot more versatile

it's great

[wintry dagger]

how?

literally its a handheld only device and a switch can connect to a tv

[jaunty compass]

you can play the deck portably, dock it, use it as a PC

[jaunty compass]

they literally sell a steam deck dock and you can make your own

[wintry dagger]

yeah and the dock also costs 90 bucks, the switch comes with its own

plus you dont need an external mouse or keeb

[jaunty compass]

you can also just use a usb c hub that's $30 just as well

[wintry dagger]

im not saying the switch is a great console, your points are just idiotic

[vapid smelt]

the switch hardware is ancient

[jaunty compass]

and you also don't need an external mouse or keyboard for the deck; it has a software keyboard and trackpads

the deck is objectively more versatile

[wintry dagger]

and ur gonna use that while docked?

[jaunty compass]

you can also just use whatever controller you want with a docked deck

[summer folio]

XB950 > Everything on that list.

[vapid smelt]

you dont even get a carrying case for the switch massive L

[summer folio]

Sony Xtra Basses serien, best headphones.

[wintry dagger]

which is again, not included so you have to pay more

[wintry dagger]

I got a carrying case with mine

[summer folio]

Well, atleast you can stratch your screen on the stand.

[wintry dagger]

tbf that is idiotic and im not defending them for that

[vapid smelt]

from https://www.nintendo.com/switch/faq/

[jaunty compass]

the deck can also just play way more games

and you can actually use a web browser on it lol

[summer folio]

You can on Switch too

[wintry dagger]

I got the mario red and blue edition and it came with a case

[summer folio]

So you can buy the Switch just for using it as Discord Client

[jaunty compass]

the integrated web browser doesn't even have video playback anymore

nintendo crippled it post exploit

[summer folio]

[wintry dagger]

the only way you can access it is by using some cheaty shit anyways so thats irrelevant

[jaunty compass]

that's why i said you can't really use a web browser on switch

[wintry dagger]

ok? its a gaming console?

[manic torrent]

honestly if you bought a switch expecting it to be more than a nintendo game player, then you're doing it wrong

[wintry dagger]

you literally have a phone

[jaunty compass]

average diablo immortal developer

[young bloom]

listen to me

i am sick and tired of your shenanigans

[summer folio]

Nokia 105

[wintry dagger]

you literally bought a console thats advertised to gamers and is advertised as a portable gaming pc and ur comparing it to a console thats marketed to only play nintendo games, and party games

[jaunty compass]

devices are only allowed to do one thing now, it's official

[young bloom]

L

[summer folio]

MP3 Players PogChamp

[young bloom]

dont

[jaunty compass]

game consoles can no longer play movies on netflix or watch videos on youtube
you can only play games

it is now illegal to use them for anything but gaming

[summer folio]

I only bought my Xbox One S to watch Netflix tho

[wintry dagger]

you're literally throwing a fit because the switch removed functionality to something you're not even supposed to access

[jaunty compass]

You're definitely completely missing the point of what I'm saying

💀

[wintry dagger]

ur literally comparing a 2020 portable gaming pc to a shitter tablet with controllers strapped to the side

[jaunty compass]

they cost within $50 of each other; if the switch oled was like $250 i wouldn't make this comparison

but as it stands, the oled and deck cost within $50 of each other

[wintry dagger]

its also in a completely different market

[jaunty compass]

it's not my fault that they're priced so similarly

[wintry dagger]

the switch is meant for something you can give ur child so they can shut up in the car, and the steam deck is literally a gaming pc

[jaunty compass]

the switch was marketed to be for everyone

idk man
your straw man is kinda cringe; why are you defending a massive company

[wintry dagger]

im not defending nintendo, your comparison is stupid thats all

[summer folio]

Nintendo CEO

He is bing chillin here to make the stock go up

[jaunty compass]

my comparison between two gaming devices is stupid because you think one is of a lower caliber and doesn't deserve to be compared to the other?

then they should have a larger price difference

the switch oled is too much, idk man

[wintry dagger]

the xbox one was literally being sold for 500 bucks right up until the series x came out, by that logic the one should have been 250

[jaunty compass]

the xbox one S was like $200 for a long time

before the series S and x

[wintry dagger]

nintendo also makes a profit off of the switch, xbox and sony take a loss on their consoles bc they're expecting them to buy more games

[jaunty compass]

I'm aware.

but that's not my problem

[waxen stream]

if anyone needs it, the hydroflask lids works with the water bottle

i;ve got my ltt lids break twice from like a small drop but it is

[hollow pulsar]

What… law was passed?

[wintry dagger]

I agree that they're being sold for too much for old hardware, but you act as if nintendo is the only company uses that

[jaunty compass]

i was being sarcastic because loganator was saying basically

why should a game console be able to use a web browser? it's a game console

[wintry dagger]

hes pissed that im saying his point of them removing functionality of something that isnt even supposed to be accessed in the first place, isnt even a fair argument

[jaunty compass]

that's what he was saying, so i was mocking the statement

[jaunty compass]

this is completely wrong

you're completely missing the point

[hollow pulsar]

What do you mean by “not supposed to be accessed”?

[jaunty compass]

the point was that the switch doesn't have a web browser. the steam deck does

[leaden gale]

Mfw every Nintendo console from the Wii forward had a fully accessible web browser but they were too afraid of exploits that they obfuscated it for Switch

[jaunty compass]

not that they removed video playback, that was a footnote

[jaunty compass]

this lol

they were like
'webkit scary'

[hollow pulsar]

If the Switch only allowed Netflix and removed gaming, would that fall under “not supposed to access”?

[wintry dagger]

literally the browser in the switch isnt even officially supported

[hollow pulsar]

Oh so Netflix through a general purpose browser

[wintry dagger]

the 3ds browser doesnt even support videos anyways

at least as long as ive owned mine which was like in 2016

[hollow pulsar]

Well, removing functionality is definitely a setback no matter how you look at it.

[eager venture]

Hulu>

[jaunty compass]

the switch had a web browser that people accessed using dns rerouting; then nintendo removed features from the browser because people started using the browser.

however, that wasn't my point. the point was that you basically couldn't use a web browser
which was a point against the switch

[wintry dagger]

idk I dont see it as a loss bc ive never used the web browser on a single console, but like I can see why you would be mad

oh also I wish we had 3ds themes for the switch

I miss those

[jaunty compass]

the best part is that the switch literally has a themes section in the menu

nintendo just decided to never give features to users

[wintry dagger]

EXACTLY literally I was pissed when I found it out because its literally not hard to implement anyways

oh also the no bt audio support until 2020 even though it had bt already

[polar fern]

😐

[jaunty compass]

mmm
features that modders added ages ago and nintendo doesn't want you to have

[wintry dagger]

im getting cramps in my hands looking at that

[jaunty compass]

like being able to use non switch controllers on it

[polar fern]

😳

[jaunty compass]

I use an xbox one controller on my switch; there's a sysmodule to allow tons of non switch controllers just like they're any other switch controller

[wintry dagger]

I mean you cant use xbox controllers with playstation controllers so

[polar fern]

🌸

[jaunty compass]

yeah but it's still annoying that these controllers all use the same damn tech and with a handful of KB file i can just use them

these controllers are expensive i'm going to use the ones i already have

[wintry dagger]

honey, why does ur butt plug have a smiley face on it?

[jaunty compass]

h

🤨 📸

[polar fern]

Uh, don’t talk to me like that.

[vapid smelt]

its to make you extra happy

[dusky patrol]

Ok so you know how when you try to use a vpn on your phone it tells me my ip is In us but on netflix it says it's still canadian I would've thought they'd just tell you to turn off von and lock it until you turn it off lol

[wraith sonnet]

Coop

[vapid smelt]

[wraith sonnet]

You failed to inform me that the Noctua screwdriver was restocked

I bought it this time

[vapid smelt]

i bought them both already

1st wave too ez

Then used it to fix my mbo fan

[sweet jetty]

That's so cute wth

[tawny prairie]

figured it out, just needed a bios update

[granite tinsel]

what're y'all's preferred laptop size?

[wintry dagger]

13 inch bc 16 is too big imo

but it rlly has to come down to personal preference

[granite tinsel]

ya for sure

i prefer 14-inch; it came out as a goldilocks sorta thing for me

13-inch is too small, 15-inch is too big; 14-inch is just right

[full fossil]

uwu?

[granite tinsel]

that said i do feel a bit spoiled by how good smaller laptops have gotten, since the very first computer i actually owned was a 17-inch fujitsu lifebook A series

that thing was a tank but 11-year-old me thought nothing of it

[golden talon]

I came into this chat reading the wrong messages first

[full fossil]

ive got a 17 atm but its beef

[wintry dagger]

hey I tend to like small things..... it has great personality! I would know

[full fossil]

15 is nice

i do like numpads though

[full fossil]

you spelled best wrong

[granite tinsel]

i can live without a numpad but i like having it when possible

it took me about a year to get a numpad back after getting a 75% keyboard tho LOL

[jaunty compass]

i found a small pc with an amd e-450 and 4 gigs of ddr3

what should i do with this thing?

[full fossil]

throw it away prolly

[wintry dagger]

ive literally never used my numpad on my keeb

I have it.. I just dont use it

[full fossil]

thats why you found it

[vapid smelt]

your a monster

[wintry dagger]

you're

[jaunty compass]

it's in pretty good condition

[granite tinsel]

i kinda wanna dig my fujitsu out of storage but it's currently in the attic

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-your-gif-22328611

[granite tinsel]

hard to get up there

[full fossil]

cool?

[jaunty compass]

i just cleaned the dust off of it
it still has the original peels

[wintry dagger]

yruo'e

[jaunty compass]

it has the Radeon HD 6320 igpu

[full fossil]

not sure why you need us to tell you what to do with it. try and sell it. repurpose it for your own use. recycle it. take pictures of it and post it on tiktok for mad views. ???. profit

[jaunty compass]

because it's crappy slow hardware and idk what to really use it for

[full fossil]

then throw it away.

for the third time

[jaunty compass]

that would be a waste though

[full fossil]

then keep it.

[jaunty compass]

i don't want to waste it but like

[full fossil]

then dont

[jaunty compass]

i'm going to keep it, i just don't know what to use it for

[full fossil]

us either

[jaunty compass]

i'm gonna download emulation station on it

[full fossil]

👍🏾

[jaunty compass]

my dad can use it for his mame cabinet

Keyboard*

Numeric Keypad*

[unkempt widget]

bruh you paid extra for that numpad

use it you mf

[heady flicker]

great time to start your accounting career

[granite tinsel]

numpads are really useful for punching in numbers on things like spreadsheets

[heady flicker]

become a cpa

[granite tinsel]

also on windows if you use a PIN

[young bloom]

no accounting

[sweet jetty]

I use my numpad side for mapping macros on my full sized keeb

[sweet jetty]

Actually no, keebs with numpads tend to be cheaper since they're produced more, unless you're talking about really premium ones

[unkempt widget]

i paid like twice as much for this keyboard with a numpad

[sweet jetty]

What's it called

[polar fern]

You’re*

[unkempt widget]

i went to an rog store and there was a mx blue with a keyboard that costed like 150 and one without that costed like 80 or smth

it was in a different currency and it was chinese so i didn't know the model number

[torn spruce]

guys I kid you not I have gigabyte control center and when it runs my pc makes a weird noise, and it is not from the audio system and it comes directly from the pc, it makes this high pitched beeping sound every second or so, it is really quiet

[vapid smelt]

both are over priced

[polar fern]

Fascinating tale

[sweet jetty]

Dude you're getting Rog keyboards, ofc they're gonna be that way

[torn spruce]

when I turn it off gigabyte control center the sound goes away

[sweet jetty]

I'm talking about literally every non asus keyboard

[river vector]

i added shortcut to startup folder but it doesnt start when i turn on pc maybe i have to turn on some event ?

[sweet jetty]

And you overpayed for something that you could've got better with like 20 buckos

[unkempt widget]

that was the only store that sold mechanical keyboards within 20 minutes of me

and i'm not gonna order online, i wanna try the key switches myself

[sweet jetty]

Amazon exists

[torn spruce]

guys help yall know why it does that?

[vapid smelt]

and why would you want blue switches?!

[golden talon]

theyre satisfying af

click sounds

[velvet marsh]

clicky clack

[sweet jetty]

Then try it and then order them, you got blue switches after trying 😭

if i ordered online, it won't be any cheaper

[velvet marsh]

They're not even good tho

[heady flicker]

blue switches are awful

[unkempt widget]

blue switches are wonderful wdym

[sweet jetty]

.... There are better and cheaper options online

[unkempt widget]

when i tried typing on red switches it felt horrible

[heady flicker]

never am I going to play tetris with them ever again

[jaunty compass]

understandable, they're linear switches

[unkempt widget]

yeah but i don't get to try the key switches

[polar fern]

Noisy keyboards succ

[sweet jetty]

When I got my first switches, they were blues, one month later, i literally threw them

[jaunty compass]

I don't like linear switches; I use brown switches

[heady flicker]

brown is linear

[jaunty compass]

tactile switches my beloved

[sweet jetty]

Get one with the return policy

[heady flicker]

it's tactile linear

[unkempt widget]

this one is softer than my previous board

[sweet jetty]

Use other tacts please

[polar fern]

Tack tickle

[sweet jetty]

No

[golden talon]

True

[sweet jetty]

It's a tactile

[jaunty compass]

Brown are tactile switches

[sweet jetty]

Browns are scratchy

[jaunty compass]

why?

[unkempt widget]

when i first got them, it sounded too soft

but now my ears have adjusted

[sweet jetty]

Like, really scratchy

[jaunty compass]

you don't know which browns i'm using 🗿

[sweet jetty]

And it becomes more and more apparent after a while

[unkempt widget]

yall should hear when i type on monkeytype or nitrotype

[vapid smelt]

blues are too loud imo

[sweet jetty]

Nah, Browns in general have that because of their housing structure

[unkempt widget]

there's no such thing as too loud

[sweet jetty]

And super pingy

And you all have not heard greens

[jaunty compass]

ah yes my clangy keyboard
with the clangy keys

mmmmmm
pling pling click clack

[golden talon]

my first mechanical keyboard was blues and yeah its loud but thats fine

[unkempt widget]

whenever i type on any other key switch, i feel like i didn't press down

[sweet jetty]

Like, you can hear greens on the opposite side of a street

[unkempt widget]

it also depends on keycaps

[sweet jetty]

Literally any tactile switches:

[unkempt carbon]

Anyone have a link to the press release for the new netflix password disaster in progress

[sweet jetty]

It does, but greens are like abnormally loud

[unkempt widget]

my old blue switches were really loud

[sweet jetty]

You get what I mean?

[unkempt widget]

that's because the keycaps were loud

[unkempt widget]

yeah sure

[sweet jetty]

Keycaps aren't "loud", they influence the sound signature

[wintry dagger]

I literally didn’t

[sweet jetty]

It can be "loud" but that depends on how much pinging is affected by the keycap itself

Get pbt ones, it'll make it sound much better

And give it the thocc

[full fossil]

@wintry dagger yes

[vapid smelt]

NO!

[full fossil]

WHAT

I’m in my truck and you can’t stop me coop

Does anybody know if the Hyte Y60 comes with RGB

[full fossil]

4090 i9 13900k using 250W+ Idle is that normal hahah

[wintry dagger]

Huh?

[full fossil]

yep

[wintry dagger]

Ass

[full fossil]

no u

[wintry dagger]

So true

[full fossil]

yeah

[wind pulsar]

It doesn't

[wheat karma]

Why is my 13700K running at 5300Mhz and not 5400?

[wind pulsar]

The Hyte Y60 doesn't come with proper fans in the first place, they're all 3-pin so you want new fans anyways

[manic torrent]

if you're building a Y60, you should be doing and planning your own RGB

[vapid smelt]

why would you want a mic from HP?

[full fossil]

[sonic barn]

they use the takstar stuff so idc

if you want newer sounding stuff that's cheap audio technica has you covered for the same durability

ath 50mx

cheaper ones like the cloud x is the m20x

I had my hyper x cloud 2s for 7 years so far though

my next headset is the m50x

too much power for one person to have
