Raw isn't nerdy photography shit, it's just photography basics

[golden talon]

which doesnt concern anything that im talking about

[long briar]

oh btw you also have a line of green pixels on the right side of the picture

this one

[dreamy rose]

oh yea yea i see it

[golden talon]

yes because i dropped it into instagrams editor and cropped it bad

[onyx heath]

The phone is water resistant not water proof so said isnt chlorine water bad for a phone?

[long briar]

it's like 10 bucks, it's worth it

anything that isn't freshwater is gonna deteriorate the seal

[dreamy rose]

it might damage the Seals is what they said

[onyx heath]

Even the shower water?

[long briar]

shower water is okayish

just be careful about mineral buildup

[golden talon]

there will be minerals in it

[long briar]

assuming you're in a modern city with relatively clean tapwater

[onyx heath]

What about tap water

[long briar]

tap water and shower water are the same lmao

[golden talon]

just as bad

[long briar]

mineral buildup is gonna be the issue

like srsly, sealed box or pouch for phones to be used in water costs literally nothing

there's no good reason you shouldn't use one

[onyx heath]

What!

[golden talon]

damn my WPM taken a hit

i need to practice typing more often i dropped so much speed

[onyx heath]

What speed

[golden talon]

my typing speed

[onyx heath]

Ik

[golden talon]

oh

my best is 201 WPM but rn im only getting like 160-170

idk how i dropped so much

[onyx heath]

That’s god damn fast

[onyx heath]

On what website

[golden talon]

Typing speed doesn’t matter what really matters is the blisters and repetitive strain injuries acquired long the way

@late turret this? https://a.co/d/dtBz5gu

[golden talon]

most typing is done in short bursts

nobody ever woke up and said im gonna type 60 seconds straight

[polar fern]

I guess you’ve never experienced any data entry jobs

[golden talon]

they do typing all day everyday

60 seconds is useless

[polar fern]

Seems ok. The Linus Tech tips store desk and mouse pads are definitely higher quality tho

[unborn jolt]

did y’all see the thing about chat gpt passing an interview for a position at google with a yearly income of 183k???

[polar fern]

Nope, and don’t care

[unborn jolt]

ok sorry

[manic torrent]

Interviews at google are 5 45minute session.....

[unborn jolt]

it was for a coding position. pcmag has an article on it

[manic torrent]

I absolutely garauntee you chatgpt could not "pass" them

[polar fern]

I love how people are suddenly fixated on this supposed AI bullshit. Meanwhile, we have actual real problems in the world that are being completely ignored which would actually improve things for everybody if addressed properly.

[hazy wren]

Hi

[unborn jolt]

i’m sorry for bringing it up i just thought it was interesting. sorry

[polar fern]

Geek uninstall?

[full fossil]

yes

[polar fern]

Sounds sus af

[manic torrent]

ahhhh, purely the technical questions.

[unborn jolt]

just simply sparked interest in me and thought i could share it with y’all. my apologies

[full fossil]

i am asking if anyone has experience using it or if anyon has heard about any issues with it installing addware or other stuff.

[polar fern]

No one should ever apologise for being interested in something, but you do have to remember that your interests are not shared by everyone, and even people who have the same interests may not have the same level of engagement/excitement

[long briar]

well said

[manic torrent]

oh no I'm interested, It's just the headline is deliberately obfuscated 🙂

[polar fern]

That too

[manic torrent]

I interviewed at google twice

[unborn jolt]

i’m 14 so i’m not as experienced in interviewing for google.

[polar fern]

Tealseers?

[full fossil]

seems like google search. did we loose libraries because we had the internet? no we just got a bigger easier to filter library. That is what CHATGPT is. Its what siri and the rest of the assistants aspired to be a real help on solving real world problems.

[polar fern]

@unborn jolt if you really want to work for the goog, your age isn’t going to be a barrier. It’s their policy etc

[unborn jolt]

i’m 14 so i don’t have the particular motivation yet for a job. i already have a job anyways

[graceful burrow]

epic embed fail

i have a question

how do you misspell a word that's in the message before yours and you had to read to respond to

lol, lmao even
what am i looking at

a solder joint with some flux around it

i bet your old pal google knows

from the factory or someone worked on the board

[jade sedge]

I'm still using LastPass

[graceful burrow]

then they probably worked on it
does it function?

nothin to worry about then

OH

[jade sedge]

Does anyone have a recommended password manager outside of Bitwarden

[graceful burrow]

yeah that's not good kek

that's a solder blob kek

and it's big enough to cause short circuits

get it outta there

i thought you were talking about the shiny pool around the solder pad

some way or another lmao

yes

i wont tho

[full fossil]

its good 4 u

[graceful burrow]

alright but you owe me

dont turn the laptop on until you're pretty sure that solder blob is outta there

if it shorts it could fry the whole thing

oofta

well it's just a razer no big loss

cpu/gpu/chipset somethin like that probabl

[long briar]

probably pch

southbridge*

wait late 2020

pch would've been on cpu then

[graceful burrow]

no

[long briar]

that's probably GPU + vram

left side

assuming it's the blade 15 https://www.notebookcheck.net/2020-Razer-Blade-15-Base-Model-Laptop-Review-The-10th-Gen-Intel-Comet-Lake-H-Update.465895.0.html

[graceful burrow]

i dont make assumptions

[long briar]

anyways I don't like razer laptops because afaict their batteries are actually just deflated marshmellows

give it a bit and it'll reinflate

[graceful burrow]

i dont like razer because their build quality in general leaves a lot to be desired

[long briar]

FUCKING CALLED IT

sry uh

no based on the teardown they have

GPU and vram are under one half of the cooler

CPU is on the other half, the "larger" half is gonna be the GPU because both the die and the vram need cooling and thus more space

mah doesn't matter, wh does

your phone is probably 3.7v

so about 17wh

3.88 is peak

nominal voltage is gonna be around 3.6 or 3.7v

that's just how lipo batteries work

[graceful burrow]

bro are you good

[jaunty compass]

everyone does

[long briar]

because China is where most things are manufactured...

China and India are the powerhouses

[graceful burrow]

90% of computer parts are made in mainland china/taiwan

and malaysia

[long briar]

which keeps it away from max voltage

[graceful burrow]

so?

[long briar]

but anyways that still means your phone has about a quarter of the capacity as your laptop

[lilac sage]

sure but the headquarters of a company barely matters anymore

[long briar]

Razer is singaporean

[rigid moon]

hey what if you put too much ram in a mobo that doesnt support that much?

[long briar]

it won't detect the excess

but you'll detect less money in your wallet

but srsly what motherboard is this

usually it's CPU limited now

last time I remember a motherboard having ram capacity limits was... 2009ish?

flux is fine, you know what solder is used for right

to bind and conduct electricity?

[hollow pulsar]

When things stop going, solder on.

[long briar]

how do you not see this is an issue that you have a solder ball inside your laptop

[graceful burrow]

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING

THAT'S WHAT I BEEN SAYING

[lilac sage]

bring a magnet

[long briar]

ah oops

no it wasn't ghost I got too many caps compared to spaces

I actually need to test this theory gimme a sec

ok second theory

WHY

if it was still on one side of the motherboard you could've just taken the cooler off and used a flashlight and your eyes

now it could literally be anywhere in the case

you're actually trolling

Anybody got recommendations for good value Lightning to USB A cables on Amazon? Preferably nylon but will consider other options. Either 3ft+ whichever is cheaper. I do have questions about durability.

(Plz ping in responses)

weirdly specific, just find a few and buy them and return the ones that suck

[plush rivet]

^

Their is no “best cable”, just buy what your looking for it doesn’t matter that much

[timid meadow]

Jsaux is my go to for amazon cables

[full fossil]

Me 2

Curious about insanely cheap ones though

Like this one: https://a.co/d/8TuhKIK

[plush rivet]

If it doesn’t work return it

All of them pretty much work the same

[timid meadow]

My only issue with jsaux is they dont sell tiny cables. Like i need 3-6 inch sometimes and they make quality cables but not that short. Their 10fts are great though

[graceful burrow]

content creators get their shit free it aint their fault you were slow and wanted something shite

[full fossil]

The only concern is what if it breaks after 30 days

[plush rivet]

Heavily doubt that will happen

[full fossil]

cables are very durable, it’s more of what your doing to them is your issue

Unless it’s pure cheap it will last

Nobody ever buys insurance on builds lol

I’ve never heard of a single person buying insurance

[full fossil]

who tf is gonna insure ur garbage water cooled uild

[plush rivet]

You buy a water cooling knowing that risk I hope you know that

Not worth it

[full fossil]

no

that sounds dumb asf

[plush rivet]

never insurance your build that’s a waste of money

It’s not that important

[full fossil]

i pay 12 dollars a month forinsurance on my water cooled pc

[plush rivet]

You rlly shouldn’t

[full fossil]

literally dumb

[plush rivet]

Your burning money away doing that

[full fossil]

so dumb its making me hurt from reading these messages

ok yea i can tell this is just low tier trolling at this point

[plush rivet]

Again, you bought a water cooled PC KNOWING that risk,

Like that’s so stupid

do not buy insurance at all it is a scam

like it is stupid as hell to even consider it

Anywhere in general

it’s just making them give you more of your money

Like it’s the same if you buy antivirus which is also a scam

[dreamy rose]

the circle thing is the waterblock. then it has two pipes that go to a radiator that then lets you have 2-3 fans

[plush rivet]

depending on your aio

[dreamy rose]

depends on 240 or 360 mm

[plush rivet]

Eh I don’t like MSI personally

I have an ROG one right now

i have no experience with computers other than Acer laptops so i cant really comment. looking to change that soon.

the only thing that needs watercooled is gpu unless ur doing weird cpu stuff

aios for cpus are kek

aios are better. they just arent needed for cpus

[plush rivet]

You don’t need an AIO for a 5600 lol. But please get a better cpu cooler that one is hot garbage

[dreamy rose]

4090 needs watercooling just to fit in the fucking case

[plush rivet]

I wouldn’t get that cooler

A 20 dollar cooler like that will not be able to efficiently cool your CPU

[lilac sage]

wtf is that case

[plush rivet]

Holy hell do not get that case either

[lilac sage]

both of these are good. prob with a white case you want a white cooler

[plush rivet]

A 200 dollar case??? That shit isn’t even that good

[dreamy rose]

you made a good choice going with a Ryzen/Radeon build

[plush rivet]

That thing is overpriced like hell

100% not worth the 200 but if you want to be my guest

[lilac sage]

the side panel is technically a monitor

thats why its so expensive

[plush rivet]

Makes sense why it’s so expensive

Still not worth it at all imo

[lilac sage]

idk get it i guess but honestly I dont liek it

airflow looks like a bitch

ah its side intake, nvm

Im already in slightly better shoes and dont need to switch

[dreamy rose]

nobody needs RGB, and only wants it

[lilac sage]

I used a Dell case tho when I first built my PC so I dont get it

my dell case was prob worse than yours

[dreamy rose]

i wish it wasnt so damn common.

almost every gaming laptop this year has enough to drown a farm of unicorns.

[lilac sage]

I cant embed images but mine was a dell dimension E520

[dreamy rose]

it sucks. i just want a powerful All AMD laptop that lasts the whole school day

[lilac sage]

so yes mine was worse

I wish I had a picture

oh better yet

that Case isnt even an ATX form factor

it was BTX

so uh nothing was screwed in

https://hexus.net/tech/reviews/chassis/991-intels-btx-form-factor-an-analysis-opinion/?page=2

[dreamy rose]

ATX makes mobos fit in cases.

[lilac sage]

it was BTX so I literally just stuck my Mobo in there flat without screws

yes

I also used 2 power supplies to run it

1st one was in the back

2nd one was where the CD drive bay was

the main one powered the CPU and GPU

the one in the front had the MoBo and storage

ye theres a picture somewhere but i think its lost to time

now my case is a Fractal Focus g mini

looks better since the parts fit this time

[graceful burrow]

did you already buy it

it aint worth the dosh

amd meets and greets them

also
if you havent bought the cpu yet, swap it to the 5600 non-x
the x means nothing, it performs literally exactly the same

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia is not cool.

mmm. no

sure its fast, but its way overpriced

thats not cool.

[noble fulcrum]

3080 lol

[dreamy rose]

there's various reasons there's a floor cost for hard drives, and you get the best value for money at the 6/8/10 tb range

General question for everyone

Would you say that your games pretty reliably auto-detect your monitor resolution

[heady flicker]

yes

that's pretty much a given nowadays

[strange lava]

Hey, In which channel should I ask for monitor advices?

[heady flicker]

you could ask in here, tech chats, or build a pc, probably

not many are really concerned about monitors so you might have a better chance asking in a less traffic channel

[plush rivet]

Go ahead and ask here

I should be able to answer you

[strange lava]

Ok I’ll do it here then

[dreamy rose]

everything i've played has been pretty good with it, Have you having Problems with it?

[timid meadow]

Rarely do they detect properly first try for me. "Borrowed" often will go as far as forgetting settings between launches in my experience

[polar fern]

Limewire 2.0: just borrowing the file

[heady flicker]

do you use an unconventional display resolution or aspect ratio?

[timid meadow]

Thats probably the wrong spelling for that word in that context but fk it

[strange lava]

I’m building a pc with a 3090 and a 7600. And I wanna rock an Oled but I really struggle between going for 4K 42inch 120hz or the new 1440p 240hz 27inch. I play all sorts of games from Cs to wow, bf … and wanna play the new demanding games like the new Harry Potter, cyberpunk, elden ring … any recommendations?

[heady flicker]

how far are you going to be sitting from the display

[polar steeple]

No not at all, just thinking through some stuff

[polar fern]

This case needs mesh 😬

[heady flicker]

that case needs spray point to cover up the glass

[dreamy rose]

good.

[heady flicker]

and yeah, some drill holes

[strange lava]

I will get a desk depending on that

[polar steeple]

Basically like I want to be able to switch between 1080p and 1440p without having to change settings in every game

[dreamy rose]

if you are gonna be on a desk may as well look at something 24/27 inch.

[polar steeple]

So I figure it may be easier to just switch the monitors instead and let the game do it

[icy oak]

Modern day kids content fucking sucks

[strange lava]

I would think so but after playing Xbox on my brother 48 inch Oled from 1 meter ish I’m not sure anymore

all you need to do is watch an Episode. no words needed.

[polar fern]

Pass

[icy oak]

Hm. I'll see about it when I get the chance

[sonic barn]

The legend of Korra isn't for kids, however I'll say avatar tlab is for kids

[polar fern]

Noooo

[timid meadow]

Damn you sound like 4kids before they died. Kids can handle alot more then most realize

[dreamy rose]

then why was it on ABC 3/ Me?

[icy oak]

And... I'd rather my kids be watching something that I can enjoy too, rather than the shit that they watch on YouTube

[sonic barn]

Nickelodeon

[polar fern]

Y’all need to understand that there’s content aimed at specific age ranges.

[dreamy rose]

actually. SAO was there too so.

[polar fern]

@timid meadow cool I’ll let my step kids know.

[timid meadow]

Different kids are different and thats up to the parents to decide. Id happily let my kids, or any kids whos parents didnt specifically say no, watch ATLAB

[dreamy rose]

as long as they dont get ahold of youtube, if i had to babysit kids i think TV would be fine.

[icy oak]

Oh God... YouTube kids content is the WORST

[timid meadow]

And age isnt the only thing that determines if a kid is ready for different media. Age is an arbitrary guideline

[polar fern]

No shit

[heady flicker]

well yeah, people mature at different ages

[lilac sage]

mature your kids faster by letting them watch rated R movies

side effects may include trauma

[icy oak]

The Hangover

[dreamy rose]

tell me about it. i gotta deal with my sister watching cringe. not those stupid creepy nonsense channels but still. some things i wish didn't just exist.

[timid meadow]

Part of why my plex server is so big. Alot of kids stuff that ill never turn on myself, but if kids are around its infinitely better then youtube

[icy oak]

Yeah... I hear it a lot at work, and I've seen some of this "for kids" content pop up for some reason. Plus I remember the shit that happened with Elsagate

[timid meadow]

You decide what your kids watch, dont let an algo at google

[icy oak]

I should make a NAS and rip some DVDs and Blu-Rays.

[timid meadow]

My grandkids are gunna know Mythbusters long after Adam Savage is gone

[dreamy rose]

eh. when i was her age i didn't have access to the internet and youtube like she does. i had games like Driver San Francisco, Mario kart Wii, New super mario bros Wii. and later stuff like Minecraft and i got introduced to forza when i was 12 and first got my Xbox One.

[icy oak]

I'll have my kids watching How Its Made

[indigo plume]

need good full size keyboard

[timid meadow]

Same. Easy show to pop on and fall asleep to too

[dreamy rose]

honestly yeah. good content

[icy oak]

I had a PS3 when I was younger. I still have it. I was playing the Ratchet and Clank Future saga at the time. A LOT

Along with Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet

[dreamy rose]

i had majority of my games on PS3. but some of the best ones were all on the 360.

[icy oak]

Once PS3 emulation is good, I can make sure my kids play the GOOD shit.

[timid meadow]

Driver is super underrated. Did alot for rpg driving games

[polar fern]

As a parental figure raising 2 kids I can tell you all about content & intended/appropriate audience. It’s not one container for all ages under 12. Say what you will about individual development etc, there’s shit aimed at certain age groups. It’s literally a whole bunch of industries from publishing to YouTube creators and varied types of instructors.

Anyways.

[icy oak]

I used to LOVE How it's Made. Technical stuff always got me going

[dreamy rose]

GT 5 never would play for long for me.

[icy oak]

I have a model car from that game. The one from Citroen?

I got the 1:18 model

[long briar]

ltt firetruck, for instance

[dreamy rose]

Driver San Francisco is a CRAZY play. man i love that game. shame you havent been able to buy it for ages now. would love to own for PC.

[icy oak]

😂 NOT THE FIRETRUCK

[dreamy rose]

forgot this was the LTT server for a minute and thought "Someone knows about the firetruck?"

[icy oak]

I hope Sony makes the right play and brings PS3 games to PC. Because while RPCS3 is good, there's a bunch of games that I feel should be on PC. So then they may live on.

[timid meadow]

Why not emulate it?

[somber summit]

Hello

[dreamy rose]

its got a PC version. and well i can only emulate anything below the Wii.

[somber summit]

@frosty grotto dared me to tell u all that i use my pc with a -502 underclock

[icy oak]

Imagine playing LittleBigPlanet with the boys on PC

[dreamy rose]

heres one that nobody knows or cares about, Modnation Racers.

[icy oak]

I tried it on my PSP

[dreamy rose]

i had the Road Trip demo on Vita.

[icy oak]

It was okay. Not my favorite. But goddamn. LittleBigPlanet 2 was my first online multiplayer experience.

[timid meadow]

I might go home and download the series. Try playing through or at least revisiting each. No time to play rn till later in the week though. Gotta finish my overwatch battlepass

[dreamy rose]

ah yes. gotta love paying for the ability to Unlock things

[icy oak]

Guilty as charged.

I paid for Motorpass for The Crew 2

[timid meadow]

I paid 10 bucks after 5+ years of playing for free. Im okay with it

[icy oak]

Then again, I'd say that The Crew 2 isn't as egregious with microtransactions as others.

Cause you can get a lot of stuff quickly by just playing.

[polar fern]

🤔

[timid meadow]

It comes out to less then a dime per hour for entertainment. Whats wrong with that?

[icy oak]

Nothing.

[dreamy rose]

Super Animal Royale is the only game i know that lets you go back to an Old battle pass and complete it

[icy oak]

I just wish that I didn't spend $250 on Genshin

[dreamy rose]

PFFFFF. wha.

[timid meadow]

Plus you can earn the BP for free easy. Between Microsoft points and weekly challenges

[icy oak]

Wanting certain characters

[dreamy rose]

oh right its a Gacha RPG. how could i forget.

[icy oak]

Yep! I don't regret it. I'm just ashamed of it 😭

[timid meadow]

At least your not the whale who won diablo immortal by outspending everyone

[polar fern]

Anyways.

[icy oak]

I know people who've spent thousands on Genshin

[dreamy rose]

coulda gone to Epic games i guess. we dont want that.

[icy oak]

And they end up with fucking C20 Qiqi

That's amazing!

[dreamy rose]

i had to Quit going through half Life Source for my sanity.

probably the only game on my list i havent finished,

[manic torrent]

because your pc is too slow?

[dreamy rose]

Runs fine. HLS is just crap.

[polar fern]

take a look at keychron's Q series

[dim steppe]

whooting 60he is the best "Gaming keyboard"

its a keyboarad, just get what u want

[dreamy rose]

just get the cheapest thing you can find and not care

[heady flicker]

I'm more of a ducky kind of guy

[indigo plume]

"gaming" keyboards seem like ur paying for the brand

not that its actually better

like the corsair keyboards seem over priced

same with steel series ones

[dreamy rose]

everything is Overpriced.

Games are Overpriced now

[indigo plume]

?

games are still 60 dollars

what are u on

[dreamy rose]

they are like 100 dollars here.

[polar fern]

Lenovo preferred pro keyboard

[dreamy rose]

have been for a while

[indigo plume]

games havent gone up in price

[dim steppe]

i live in madagascar, games are $0.5c here

[indigo plume]

maybe ur contries currency just got weaker

[indigo plume]

was looking at the q6 but out of stock

[dreamy rose]

our games should be 80 AUD but thats where nintendo games sit now.

[polar fern]

Clicky keyboards are too loud.

[unkempt widget]

ew reds

[unkempt widget]

feels like i'm not pressing down

[heady flicker]

reds are too heavy

[indigo plume]

whats wrong with red

arent red the standard

[unkempt widget]

blue

[dreamy rose]

imagine arguing over Keyboard switches when they dont matter and instead roasting eachother about the skill they dont have

[heady flicker]

switches do matter what are you talking about

they make different sounds

[polar fern]

Switches are matter. Everything is matter.

[dreamy rose]

no. they wont have everything

[heady flicker]

they probably have some keyboards out to press down on

but you 100% won't be able to test every switch

[dreamy rose]

go find a best Buy with an IBM model M.

[heady flicker]

since there's so many switches out there

[polar fern]

Y’all be like

my little shitty Laptop keyboard got me through the half life games. point unmade

[heady flicker]

what

of course it'll do what a keyboard will do, but I sure don't want to hear any clicky sounds

[dreamy rose]

i dont wanna hear a Creamy Thuck either,

[heady flicker]

I doubt it

amazon

[indigo plume]

all the keychron stuff out of stock

[heady flicker]

ask a friend, I guess

not aware of any

[dreamy rose]

ik what keyboard you should go for.

ZX Spectrum

[polar fern]

Avif?

[dreamy rose]

poopoo color

[dreamy rose]

its a Slab.

[heady flicker]

that's an aggresive angle

[polar fern]

Huh. Didn’t know they sold mechanicals https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/keyboards-and-mice/keyboards/gy40t26478

[indigo plume]

what is a tkl 75% and 96% and shit

[heady flicker]

i hope nobody is dumb enough to buy that

[lilac sage]

TKL is tenkeyless meaning no num pad basically

the %s are based on amount of keys/size

[indigo plume]

I see

[dreamy rose]

its a full keyboard or nothing

[lilac sage]

imo for best functionality you get a TKL and buy a numpad separately

if you ever need the numpad you have it

[dreamy rose]

extra money wasted, just buy s full keyboard

[indigo plume]

how do I prevent keyboard from getting dusty

[dreamy rose]

clean it

[indigo plume]

i feel like I have to clean so often

[dreamy rose]

you should

[indigo plume]

dust be gathering so much

[lilac sage]

paintbrush i like

[heady flicker]

oh that's one way to do it

I usually pull all the keycaps out and then get rubbing alcohol and q-tips

or some plastic tweezers if some hair gets inside

the question is do I even have a paintbrush

[dim steppe]

i prefer my keyboards with gamer gunk hair and dust, and pre oiled keycaps

[dreamy rose]

i perfer my Operating Systems with Startup sounds. and they never happen anymore thats sad

[dim steppe]

ive been putting down my toilet seat before i flush after watching a vid on how much particles fly up when u flush

[rose cipher]

keyboard

[dreamy rose]

car hair?

[rose cipher]

that sounds fun

what keyboard?

ah, is it lny still?

sounds like a keyboard, 2 weeks is expected from keychron

could also be it’s still lunar new year, keychron is based in China

workers are out for lny, makes sense

[dreamy rose]

KDE 3 has an XP like logout sound, its so god.

[rose cipher]

what is kde

[dreamy rose]

ok bad opinion

[rose cipher]

Oh

buy those then

I personally think rgb blues sound like trash, I like nylon blues a lot more

I don’t really like clickies at all

[dreamy rose]

but still
https://youtu.be/fRykLM3nBDw

[rose cipher]

cherry mx includes both rgb cherry blue and nylon blue

No

it’s just tactile feedback

sure? I’m not a gamer but switches won’t affect your performance unless they’re insanely light/heavy or hard for you to use

sorry, professional gamer*

[dreamy rose]

Logout 3?

[rose cipher]

have fun

I have not used a Mac keyboard ever

aside from the vintage ones

the vintage alps ones are really nice

Bringing an actual custom keyboard with me everywhere seems so weird I just use integrated keyboards and laptops and whatnot

[dreamy rose]

Music had Macbook airs with peripherals for Garage band. the mighty mouse and Keyboards are fucking awful

[rose cipher]

what is that

[dreamy rose]

the one from 06, that was a dell.

not to these people

the Mighty Mouse is a Super Shit design.

[rose cipher]

why does ltt mainly use keychron?

[dreamy rose]

because

[tender geyser]

Cuz they’re good

[rose cipher]

is it the aesthetic? the accessibility?

[dreamy rose]

we dont need to know that thank you

[rose cipher]

yeah they’re fine

But I have never seen keyboard content over like 300$ from ltt

which one’s the one who likes keyboards

[dreamy rose]

there are many who like keyboards

[rose cipher]

they made a short about him

I don’t watch ltt so I don’t know his name

[dreamy rose]

why are you here then?

[rose cipher]

invited by a friend to help people with keyboards

[full fossil]

Pro tip if your a programmer and don’t have or wear thigh highs ur not a programmer

Mine are black and white

[dreamy rose]

if you are a gamer and have RGB, you aren't a gamer

[full fossil]

Solid colors count?

[dim steppe]

i am a girl

[dreamy rose]

any lights at all. no RGB at all. the room must be dark apart from the monitor.

Keycap art has been a thing for years yk

[rose cipher]

those would be artisans

what you’re looking for are called artisans

its 7PM in Australia

actually with when transit is usually online, it would make more sense for it to be cest

[unkempt widget]

it's not australia because he said he needed to visit australia

[dreamy rose]

yes

[dreamy rose]

the actual quality of beats

[jaunty compass]

To be fair these beats are like

A decade old

They sound pretty decent

[dreamy rose]

Apple destroys everything they touch

[jaunty compass]

They're pre apple beats

[dreamy rose]

evidence by the fact we have no Headphone jacks anymore

[jaunty compass]

These ones have battery powered anc

[dreamy rose]

i thought Flagships were to have all the Features but apparently not

[jaunty compass]

They don't profit from the aux port

So they don't use space for it

[dreamy rose]

we dont give a shit if they Profit or not. we want our shit back

[heady flicker]

I mean, they do

[dreamy rose]

Bluetooth audio should have been figured out BEFORE this happened

[heady flicker]

asus's flagship phone has a headphone jack, type-c, 8+ gen 1, latest connectivity, and dual sim

it doesn't have expandable storage though

[dreamy rose]

shame since its supposed to be a gaming phone

[heady flicker]

it's not a gaming phone though

but it can game very well

[jaunty compass]

I'm aware

But apple doesn't care

People will keep buying the same phone will less features every year

[dreamy rose]

and people say that Apple is for smart people

[heady flicker]

that's a ignoreable statement

[jaunty compass]

Literally who says that

I've never heard anyone say that literally ever

[dreamy rose]

anyone who owns an IQ of 4.

[heady flicker]

apple is the default phone for a large population in the us

and samsung is synonymous with android phones for most

[dreamy rose]

but then whos the PC to everyone?

[jaunty compass]

Windows 7, dell

[heady flicker]

what does that have to do with this

but yeah, apple, dell, hp, etc.

[dreamy rose]

people will think about 10 now. or 11

[jaunty compass]

Nope

[heady flicker]

not even the number, just windows or mac

[dreamy rose]

Windows 7 is left in the dust now. just Memories

[jaunty compass]

Every public Access computer I've used in the past 5 years have always had Windows 7

In hotels and libraries they always use Windows 7

No idea why

They have never bothered to upgrade I guess

[dreamy rose]

me neither its a Major risk for them to be running EOL windows.

[outer spruce]

i think its because businesses dont want to pay for keys

[jaunty compass]

Windows 7 is definitely still the most iconic version of Windows aside from maybe XP

[dreamy rose]

10 was free, and they could at least have 10. not pay for it

[jaunty compass]

For businesses that's not how that works

[outer spruce]

Activate Windows

thats what i mean

[dreamy rose]

what does the business care if that is there?

it doesnt lock them out of their system like XP did.

even 7

[neon mesa]

Nom Nom Eat RAM

[dreamy rose]

life of a windows computer, Major stress intensifies

true but also businesses are lazy so

oh huh interesting, i'm using 8gb of memory with only my browser being the primary program running on my computer

[manic torrent]

Lol. You realise there is an entire industry around license management and auditing and compliance?

[neon mesa]

ever seen a near gigabyte audio file?

[cyan ferry]

How much is 32°F + 32°F = ?°C. If 32°F is 0°C, then how could it be 64°F == 17.78°C??????

[wintry dagger]

English???

[neon mesa]

hooray for adobe

[heady flicker]

+1C = +1.8F. to convert celsius into fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32

since we're doing the opposite, going from fahrenheit to celsius, subtract 32 and divide by 1.8

64-32 = 32, then divide 32 by 1.8 and you get 17.8 celsius

[cyan ferry]

Thats hard math for me, also thank you for answer 😄

[heady flicker]

you can get a rough estimate of the temperature in fahrenheit by multiplying by 2 and adding 30

which is easier than multiplying 1.8 and 32

so if we want to convert 20 celsius into fahrenheit, we can multiply by 2 to get 40, then add 30 to get 70
the actual value is 68, so it's a little off, but it's close enough for general stuff

[balmy lotus]

what happens when you touch toaster element with fork

sorry ill delete it

that was a bad jok

should i wait for mod or not to delete it

[indigo plume]

Are gamers entilted for getting mad over 70 dollar games?

[latent plank]

no, it wasnt a joke. it was just terrible

[balmy lotus]

i dont wanna hide evidence

[heady flicker]

at the very least it's important to know how electrocution works

[manic torrent]

Oh

[indigo plume]

I think it's weird to get mad over a 10 dollar increase when it's been 60 dollars for 10 plus years

[heady flicker]

like everything, it depends

[indigo plume]

Like games were never gunna be 60 forever

[dreamy rose]

budget gamers yeah.

[heady flicker]

if it's a good game, then sure, $70.

[manic torrent]

I installed my winch

[balmy lotus]

depends if wages have changed

[indigo plume]

If u were a budget gamer u weren't buying full price to begin with .

Inflation effect everything why do gamers think games are diff

[dreamy rose]

games in Australia are like 90-110 at this point

i've seen GT go for that much

[indigo plume]

Same as Canada

[balmy lotus]

but thats like 60 70 in usd

aud sucks

1usd = 1.5 aud

[dreamy rose]

they were at like 60 and 70 before

[indigo plume]

That's just the exchange rare

[dreamy rose]

nintendo is 80

[indigo plume]

Yes cuz Nintendo hasn't priced games at 70 usd yet

[balmy lotus]

thats like good 3ds games

[timid meadow]

Every pic you post gets messier as you add and change little stuff. Ltt cable management when?

[indigo plume]

Games in Canada haven't been 60 bucks in like 15 years

[dreamy rose]

as soon as cable ties come in

[indigo plume]

Was last time canada dollar was decent about 15 years ago

When we were even with usa dollar

[dreamy rose]

euro

[indigo plume]

Why is the yen worth so little when they have 3rd biggest economy

[heady flicker]

deflation

japan took a huge hit from the russo-ukranian war

[indigo plume]

So did alot of eu countries

[heady flicker]

they're starting to recover though, however

[indigo plume]

And their currency is worth way more

Then the yen

[heady flicker]

that's not really a big deal

[dreamy rose]

1 yen = 1 wii point

[indigo plume]

Like the yen should be worth more than the Canadian dollar

[balmy lotus]

it was low even before the war though

[indigo plume]

Since Japan has much better economy

Than canada

[heady flicker]

it was, partly due to the united states printing a lot of money

tourism also halted during covid

[dreamy rose]

Zimbabwe printed a lot of money

[heady flicker]

there's just so many things that led to the yen losing value

[indigo plume]

Make the yen has always been like hella low tho

Mate*

Like 1000 yen is like a dollar

[heady flicker]

1000 yen is more close to 8.5 usd

[indigo plume]

But canada currency is only .7 of a dollar

[heady flicker]

oh shit it's 7.62

[indigo plume]

Make no sense

When canada has weaker economy

[balmy lotus]

yeah for the past 20 eyars the max has been 13 sence

[dreamy rose]

the yen is pretty much a Cent

[heady flicker]

my mind still thinks 1usd is like 110-115 yen

[dreamy rose]

they pay in cents

[indigo plume]

Like if have strong economy don't make ur currency worth more what does

[balmy lotus]

currency value =/= economic strength

[indigo plume]

Japan has 3 biggest economy

Should be worth way more

[heady flicker]

it doesn't have to be

[dreamy rose]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/832896062448336906/1071714977553068073/https3A2F2Fcdn.png

[indigo plume]

Like why is the pound and stuff worth so much

[heady flicker]

because it is what it is

not everything has to be pegged to the usd

that'd make the united states too powerful than it already is

[dreamy rose]

if you have 400 pounds you are either stocking up for the apocalypse or have serious health issues.

[indigo plume]

It just don't make sense to me

[heady flicker]

I'm not sure what you're confused about

[indigo plume]

Wrong pound my dude

[dreamy rose]

nonsense. the american way is always the best way

[balmy lotus]

the yen is like the equivalent of a cent but slightly worse

[indigo plume]

I'm confused on what makes the currency higher/lower when economy size don't seem to matter

[balmy lotus]

they keep yen low because they run on exporting

[dreamy rose]

the Yen is .0076 USD

[balmy lotus]

this is what mr reddit has to say "Think about what would happen if the US decided to start using the cent as the basic unit of currency instead of the dollar, what would that change in real terms? Well the bank accounts would shift 2 decimal places, but that doesn't mean everyone is one hundred times richer.

The "Strength" is really a different thing than the value of that currency. A dollar is worth a lot more than A yen, but that doesn't mean that The Dollar is stronger than The Yen. None of this is to be confused with wealth. Japan is considered the third (or when I checked it fourth, but that's irrelevant) richest nation because they produce more value in goods and services than all but 2 (or 3) other nations. This value is independent of what currency you use to measure it"

[dreamy rose]

its 0.76 cents

[indigo plume]

Since if it was based off economy size canada for example would have much lower dollar and yen would be way higher

don't insult Karin and the Kuruma.

[indigo plume]

Not japanese

Either way I don't see that many Japanese exports other than the cars

Most stuff from east is Chinese or Taiwan

That I've seen

[weak bridge]

supply and demand

its backed by X amount of gold, the value of which is split up into their currency

so if you have 1 gold bar in reserves and 100 US dollars in total, each one would, in theory, be worth 1/100th of a gold bar

US might have more in reserves (which dont necessarily have to be gold), but they're also a larger country than the UK and probably have way more dollars in circulation

[heady flicker]

I belive the us has the most gold

[dreamy rose]

Australia

we have Australium. and we hide it from yas

[heady flicker]

that was the least obvious joke I heard today

[indigo plume]

What makes japanese economy so big i see sites saying it 3rd biggest but there isn't like megacorps I see from Japan that dominate a entire market like apple or sotbing

[dreamy rose]

the names Hale, Saxton Hale

[weak bridge]

cars, sony, lots of industrial production like steel and chemicals and stuff
