[heady flicker]

sony has a large presence in the united states

[indigo plume]

Like pretty sure is mostly use based these days

[heady flicker]

I wouldn't be surprised if they put some effort in capturing the western market

[indigo plume]

Usa*

[weak bridge]

2000ish lives I think & happened alongside a tsunami. but for reference if it was coal it'd probably kill 10s of thousands

[dreamy rose]

they still think about home,

[dreamy rose]

was in 2011 that one. yeah that was a big oof.

[indigo plume]

Ppl buy steel from Japan? The hell

[dreamy rose]

really? a dude got lung cancer from testing the site? man thats unlucky

[indigo plume]

What makes japan industrial stuff diff from othet countries

[weak bridge]

the largest car manufacturers buy steel from the same country that they produce cars in?

think about it like this, what companies are from the 4th largest economy that make it weird that Japan places ahead of them

[heady flicker]

I mean Japan is known to make pretty reliable stuff

[indigo plume]

Well number 4 is Germany

And imo they have bigger car industry

[weak bridge]

well no

[heady flicker]

the world isn't made of just cars you know

[dreamy rose]

*Toyota

[indigo plume]

Wdym no

[heady flicker]

I don't think most people own german cars

[weak bridge]

how would they have a bigger car industry

[heady flicker]

I see more people own toyotas or nissans over volkswagon

[dreamy rose]

or Porsche

[weak bridge]

japan doesnt make (mostly) supercars, they make cars that more people can buy & pretty much own the asian market

[indigo plume]

They have Volkswagen bmw porche audi ect

[weak bridge]

yeah those are cars that rich americans buy

[indigo plume]

Yeah and ppl stuck buy them

[heady flicker]

the average person doesn't own those kinds of cars

[indigo plume]

Still*

The average person don't buy new cars either

[weak bridge]

that applies to all car companies

[indigo plume]

Most sales are on used car lots

[weak bridge]

toyota is larger than ford

[heady flicker]

I still find it funny yamaha makes motorbikes

[indigo plume]

Only ppl with more money are buying new Cara

Toyota sucks

[heady flicker]

they got piano, recorders, guitars, hatsune miku, and then a fucking motorbike

[indigo plume]

Idk how they so popular

[weak bridge]

Toyota is such a large company that makes so many different vehicles that saying they suck is pretty misrepresentative

[indigo plume]

The priuis sucks

Ugly car

[weak bridge]

and even if they suck, they alone are still larger than Ford

[indigo plume]

If that's the case ppl are dumb

Tesla is bigger than Toyota

[heady flicker]

that is just not true

[weak bridge]

the way I look at tesla is:
I see 300 fords for every 1 tesla

[heady flicker]

tesla has very little sales when compared to toyota

[weak bridge]

now, the question is, are 300 fords worth more than 1 tesla. I think so

maybe in some places there are 300 teslas for every 1 ford

[minor rivet]

Should I use exFAT or NTFS for pendrive?

[heady flicker]

I use ntfs, but exfat has better compatibility across different devices like printers, modems, etc., if that's a concern for you

[minor rivet]

I want the best speeds

[heady flicker]

ntfs

[minor rivet]

alrighty

[indigo plume]

Have higher market share pretty sure like their stocks always higher than Toyota

[manic torrent]

Nah that's actually tidier you are just seeing behind the curtain there. Currently cables are managed to make it workable, but only when I come and do the fascias etc will I do a final wiring pass. There is a lot of wiring and I want to make sure it's all in place

[indigo plume]

Japan dont make good cars they just nake cars for ppl who can't afford good cars

[manic torrent]

.... That is an idiotic take

What makes a car objectively good?

What's that? Not even in the top ten?

The full-year total for 2022, as reported by Tesla, was 1,313,851 cars. This compared to 936,172 in 2021.

[manic shard]

hi

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[heady wadi]

I wonder when LTT will do a QubesOS review

[gilded plinth]

Probably never

[past egret]

this is the dumbest take ive heard on cars ever

[heady flicker]

hahha

I agree

[past egret]

anybody with 2 sense of idea in cars will know japan makes some of the coolest fucking cars on in the world

highly doubt that will happen in a few years

[weak bridge]

and ford has EVs too lol

[past egret]

yes the mach e

which is pretty shit tbh out of most electric SUVs

lol 2030

wasnt the climate estimate 2030 as well where earth becomes completely unrecoverable?

oh its the deadline

[weak bridge]

unrecoverable is relative

[past egret]

2030 is the deadline for gas emissions to be halved

[weak bridge]

in order to do what

[past egret]

save the world idk.....

will it?

yes but i dont think they predicted humans would kill themselves by suffocating

lol

[neon mesa]

touching the sun

[indigo plume]

Japan will never go full electric cars

[past egret]

yes.... and?

[indigo plume]

They don't have thr energy

[heady flicker]

and that's fine

[indigo plume]

To support electric cars

[past egret]

they have people living in the fucking mountains

[past egret]

yes they do.

[heady flicker]

manufacturing electric vehicles have a large carbon footprint than gasoline/diesel cars

[past egret]

thats the last of the concern really

when they have so many people living in the mountains like monks i highly doubt the need for a full electric rollout

[indigo plume]

No they don't they are currently having energy crisis like they ask ppl to turn of shit at night cuz of it

[past egret]

especially when they have such a vast transport sys

the real deal is making the trains electric

oh wait, most of them already do...

[heady flicker]

yeah

[indigo plume]

Japan also will collapse if they don't solve population crisis

[heady flicker]

rural -> kei trucks
urban -> bus and trains

or taxi

[past egret]

lol you say this but california occasionally does the same thing with water and electricity

so does some other cities

in us

[indigo plume]

A city is diff from entire country

On way bigger scale

[remote comet]

Ooooooo I like your pfp

[past egret]

thnx

[heady flicker]

wait what does this have to do with japanese cars being bad

[past egret]

literally california is bigger than japan....

[indigo plume]

If japan don't solve birth rate issue in like 15 years japan is fucked

[heady flicker]

japanese cars aren't even bad

I'd say they're one of the better ones. I haven't seen a volvo or something like that in a while on the streets

[indigo plume]

They are just affordable that about it

[past egret]

lol and that makes it bad?

[indigo plume]

Nothing special

[past egret]

isnt that a good thing?

[heady flicker]

if it's affordable and gets the job done, then that's a good thing

[indigo plume]

It's lazy

[past egret]

??????

[heady flicker]

lazy with what

[indigo plume]

No innovation

[heady flicker]

????

[past egret]

they put thousands of hour on a car to make it cheaper and effcient and its lazy wow

youre saying this because nissian fell off a while under a bad ceo

[indigo plume]

They just make the same car every year nothing new or innovative

[heady flicker]

I am so confused

[past egret]

this has to be bait

[indigo plume]

Either way japan is doomed to collapse in next 20 years

Cuz of population crisis

[past egret]

what kind of japan slander is this

[heady flicker]

that is so unrelated to cars

[indigo plume]

It's true

After all the old ppl retire

[heady flicker]

I can't follow your thought process

[past egret]

you keep spewing bullshit whats happening to you

[indigo plume]

Who fills those jobs

Cuz they don't have enough young ppl to fill them

And their birthrate is awful

And can't support them for long

[heady flicker]

the declining population isn't bad enough to warrant the collapse of the country in 20 years

[indigo plume]

It def is

[heady flicker]

since japan doesn't allow dual-citzenship, I'd assume there's a good portion of the population who lives outside of japan that don't have a japanese passport but are japanese ethnically

[indigo plume]

Japanese government litterlty sent out notice to citizens a few weeks ago they almost at no point of no return that if ppl dont start having kids and shit soon

[heady flicker]

huh

[full fossil]

[manic torrent]

.... Stunning analysis.

also have you seen the cars japan makes for japan? There are all kinds of cool stuff, and there is a HUGE amount of customisation people do

[indigo plume]

Im not gunna provide analysis at 6 am on my phone

[manic torrent]

"japans cars aren't good"

[indigo plume]

They aren't special

[manic torrent]

you say something like that, you are going to be called out, because it's a stupid thing to say

no, you said they were not GOOD.

[indigo plume]

They are just affordable

Only reason ppl buy then

[manic torrent]

It's the only reason people buy anything

[indigo plume]

Not cuz they are high quality

[manic torrent]

also, people pay a bajillion dollars for land cruisers

[manic torrent]

and your comparison for quality was TESLA?!

[indigo plume]

No tesla is just innovative

[manic torrent]

do you live in a magical alternative universe?

I mean, toyota have hydrogen cars. They had hybrids 15 years ago

[indigo plume]

Tesla has done more foe auto industry than toytoa and shit has done

[manic torrent]

hjahahahahhahahaa

[heady flicker]

I am dead

[indigo plume]

Electric cars got so popular cuz of tesla

[manic torrent]

oh, my sweet summer child.

[indigo plume]

Hybrids ain't popular

[heady flicker]

oh they are

[indigo plume]

Everyone talks shot on priuis and shit

[heady flicker]

it offers greater flexibility over purely electric

[manic torrent]

your information is based on your own limited observations and knowledge

[indigo plume]

And hates them

[manic torrent]

"everyone"

also, there's lots of other hybrids. Toyota has them up and down the range.

[indigo plume]

Hybrid is just for ppl who can't afford electric

[heady flicker]

I am utterly baffled, I'm just going to disengage

[manic torrent]

Is it possible that you don't know anything at all about the automotive industry?

Because that seems to be the case.

like, dunning-kruger, you are HERE.

[indigo plume]

Don't see a reason to get hybrid over electric

[manic torrent]

.. for YOU. in your PERSONAL opinion and use case.

But you seem to be happy to extrapolate your individual circumstance to hundreds of millions of people.

[indigo plume]

Plugging car In At nightis more convenient that going to gas station

[manic torrent]

I go to the gas station about once a month.

[indigo plume]

Only situation where gas would be better is long road trips

[manic torrent]

actually I go there to get snacks more often than I go to get fuel.

most days, I don't drive anywhere at all.

[indigo plume]

I used hybrid for a while wasn't even that great

[manic torrent]

oh well then

case closed I guess.

[indigo plume]

Got half a tank in a week

[manic torrent]

your personal observations are meaningless.

[indigo plume]

Was 2022 corolla hybrid

Used it last winter

Was getting like 6.5 liter/100 km

Was expecting much bettet milage put of hybrid

It was advertised at like 4.7 or something

Guess that's at perfect conditions or somthing

[indigo plume]

Do u like never drive

[indigo plume]

I see

I drive like 40km a day min

[manic torrent]

Ok, but do you see how you're taking your personal one off experiences, and extrapolating them out to a global population? Can you see how that doesn't work?

[unkempt widget]

just got recommended this on the toilet lol

i got so confused

[weak bridge]

to me, it looks like all tesla has done is put an ipad in cars that has netflix and the seats fold down into a bed

[past egret]

cant believe i paid 150 for a shitty tv remote lookin keypad when i could buy a tourbox elite

im actually really pissed off about that

[weak bridge]

I think rivian has done more than tesla, unironically

cuz of the cool storage compartment between the rear doors and rear tire

[neat bane]

can you save diff fan curves to diff profiles on afterburner?

[rigid moon]

yea RGB toilet

[summer folio]

1337 EU!

[heady pagoda]

What's the difference between HDR and HDR True black?

[unkempt widget]

one of them has true black, the other doesn't

[heady pagoda]

Thanks

So clear now

[unkempt widget]

have you learnt something new?

[heady pagoda]

Not from what you just said no

[unkempt widget]

here

i'll give you a useful tip

@heady pagoda

go Bing®️! it

[heady pagoda]

Yep, that's what I've been doing before coming here. Unfortunately that didn't give me any answers that were clear to me
So I was hoping someone here would be able to help clarify

That seems unlikely now

[unkempt widget]

true black usually refers to OLED

[heady pagoda]

Yep, knew that part

[unkempt widget]

what part do you need clarification on?

if google doesn't help, chatgpt usually does

[heady pagoda]

Mostly trying to figure out if they work in tandem, or if one is not applicable to OLED
And also a general idea on what to expect from a 'good' monitor these days

Not with anything from the past 3 years

After it's training data

[unkempt widget]

no, it's cut off in 2021

[sweet jetty]

you didnt have to cut me off

[unkempt widget]

make it out like something something we were nothing

[white musk]

hi

[unkempt widget]

hello

[white musk]

iam new to this server

[sweet jetty]

hey new to the server, I'm allie

[white musk]

oh

which linux distro do you like most?

[sweet jetty]

I'm using mint atm

[unkempt widget]

currently trying to install fedora on my macbook air

and failing

[white musk]

i have ubuntu and kde in my pc

[unkempt widget]

it's been 3 days and i'm on my path to the world record to fastest linux install

[sweet jetty]

but it's all preference, at the end of the day

ubantu is nice-ish

[sweet jetty]

lmao

are you new to linux?

[white musk]

did your pendrive failed to boot up

[unkempt widget]

yes

[white musk]

there is a record for that

[unkempt widget]

i have tried using both rufus (iso mode and dd mode), and etcher

[white musk]

does your boot screen coming while booting into usb stick

or it just turns black

[unkempt widget]

black

[white musk]

you have to check if your laptop is mbr or gpt

[unkempt widget]

i click on efi boot, blackscreens

[unkempt widget]

oh my god i forgot to change mbr or gpt

[white musk]

you have to change mbr into gpt and use uefi bios

in rufus

by the way for what purpose are you installing linux

?

[unkempt widget]

just wanted to try it out on a laptop

also planning to use it for school

and my vpn is compatible with linux but not with macos

[white musk]

i would recomend starting with ubuntu

its lightweight and easy to use

[dire pecan]

I like most debian based distros

[unkempt widget]

i don't wanna download again

[white musk]

ok

[dreamy rose]

found an old OEM Copy of Kaspersky pure 3.0 that came with my Acer Aspire ES1-411

[white musk]

that's rare

[white musk]

me too

arch is also good

[dreamy rose]

majority are Ubuntu based.

[white musk]

yes

[dreamy rose]

pointlessly might i add

[white musk]

what?

[sweet jetty]

fair

[sweet jetty]

rufus does fail for me sometimes too, I prefer etcher

[sweet jetty]

... lmfao

[dire pecan]

Also IDK if thhis is the right channel or not I'm kinda new here. Im looking for a prebuilt desktop. Can anyone recommend a company that's decent?

[sweet jetty]

ubantu based oses are not pointless

[unkempt widget]

@white musk still doesn't work

[dreamy rose]

Ubuntu isn't necessary for the Debian based distro to be recommendable. LMDE proves it

[sweet jetty]

best for new users... might I add

[unkempt widget]

smth like maingear or origin pc
but the best thing to do is custom build

[white musk]

can you share a screenshot

[unkempt widget]

it's just a black screen mate

[white musk]

wait a sec

[unkempt widget]

well slightly blue because of the display but you get what i mean

[ashen zodiac]

tldr? what's the issue?

[unkempt widget]

wait

am i supposed to hold option, command, o, and f for this

[unkempt widget]

trying to put fedora on my macbook air 2020 (t2 chip, intel)

[ashen zodiac]

T2? good luck.

[unkempt widget]

lmao

[ashen zodiac]

[unkempt widget]

i even tried the github version of the mbp fedora

maybe i need a macbook pro instead of an air

[ashen zodiac]

yea but the T2 is relentless.

[unkempt widget]

lmao

[ashen zodiac]

you need a non-apple laptop if you want good linux compatibility

the last ones that ran linux relatively ok is the 2015 MBP, and even those have issues

[unkempt widget]

i just had it laying around doing nothing, so i decided to use linux

[ashen zodiac]

as i said good luck. it's possible, just really annoying to set up.

[white musk]

where did you download the iso file

[unkempt widget]

i've been trying it for 3 days and still to no avail
i'm still in contention of world record though

[unkempt widget]

off github
and also the official one, i've tried both

[ashen zodiac]

@unkempt widget did u see this already? https://wiki.t2linux.org/

[unkempt widget]

yes

[white musk]

can you select the usb stick from booting menu

[unkempt widget]

yes, after that it's blackscreen

but my usb heats up to the point where it's scalding hot

it's like holding coffee without the sleeve level hot

[white musk]

there might be some error while you booted iso to stick

[white musk]

there should be a window appearing at the place of the black screen

[unkempt widget]

it can't happen like 15 times in a row all with different installs and different tools with different settings

[unkempt widget]

but there isn't

[white musk]

have you tried it in a non apple laptop

[unkempt widget]

i have tried hitting enter multiple times

[unkempt widget]

nope, don't want to tbh, too lazy

i have even held delete button in desparation

[dreamy rose]

does Fedora even have an ARM Image?

[white musk]

just check it on another laptop and see if it works on that

[unkempt widget]

thinking it will magically load up the bios like a regular pc would

[white musk]

then we will know where the problem is

[unkempt widget]

i'll try

[sweet jetty]

oh, are you installing fedora on a m1

[unkempt widget]

no, intel

but with t2

[sweet jetty]

thank god, that'd be an abomination

[white musk]

remember to do it in normal setting check if its mbr or gpt don't interfere with othewr settings

[unkempt widget]

i'm waiting for it to cool down

you know how your liips are less sensitive to heat

[dreamy rose]

Mac behavior

[unkempt widget]

if i put my usb on my mouth, it hurts with how hot it is

[sweet jetty]

yeah old macs do be like that

[gilded plinth]

well then don't do that

[sweet jetty]

the m series chips don't do that

[unkempt widget]

this one is 2020

[dreamy rose]

try give the mac an STD

[sweet jetty]

also why'd you try to put those usbs in your mouth?

[dreamy rose]

Every mac does it

[unkempt widget]

not in, on

[sweet jetty]

the ports get real dirty

[unkempt widget]

because of curiousity, and also on the side

[sweet jetty]

the m series don't

[unkempt widget]

the usb is fully metal

[white musk]

it will harm you

[sweet jetty]

I've only heard the fans spin up when I render stuff

[dreamy rose]

wouldnt be a mac if it didnt overheat because they half pasted the CPUs

[sweet jetty]

my g, I'm typing this from a macbook

[dreamy rose]

Fried fingers

[unkempt widget]

are your fingers still there? it must be burning hot lmao

joking of course

[sweet jetty]

it doesn't get hot 😭

the intel ones do, yes

[dreamy rose]

what a load of bollocks

[unkempt widget]

says the guy who probably has never used a macbook with an m1/2 chip

@white musk it works on my other laptop

do i select test this media $ start fedora workstation live 37, or just start fedora workstation live 37

[ashen zodiac]

do you have proof?

[dreamy rose]

what does that say about it then?

[ashen zodiac]

testing is for if the usb is corrupt

you don't need to do that if you know the usb is known good

[dreamy rose]

you havent got the ARM image have you?

[unkempt widget]

what's an ARM image

is it this?

[ashen zodiac]

linux for M1/M2, since yours is intel you don't want to use that. but BSS is just being an ass about everything as per usually

[unkempt widget]

bionic is an ass

everyone in ltt discord knows

[dreamy rose]

ARM. the Macbooks are ARM and if you want fedora you want the Fedora ARM Image. https://arm.fedoraproject.org/

[ashen zodiac]

they have an intel macbook. why don't you just go away since you clearly have no idea what ur on about

[unkempt widget]

but i'm on intel

[ashen zodiac]

ANYWAY

[dreamy rose]

whatever

[ashen zodiac]

@unkempt widget you don't need to select testing

[unkempt widget]

i just did

and it worked

[ashen zodiac]

you did select testing?

[unkempt widget]

yes

i didn't want to lose any data

[ashen zodiac]

i mean it doesn't hurt anything, just takes longer

[unkempt widget]

it took like a minute lol

[ashen zodiac]

sure but i have no patience, so... a minute feels like a year to me

[unkempt widget]

how do you use linux then

[ashen zodiac]

i don't

[unkempt widget]

oh

[ashen zodiac]

not on my main system anyway

i have a 2015 MBP running it if i need it

[dreamy rose]

noob

[ashen zodiac]

i have a decade of linux experience you dick, i just don't main it anymore.

[unkempt widget]

tbh you should stfu

<3

[dreamy rose]

L

[unkempt widget]

please UwU

shut the fuck up

[ashen zodiac]

@unkempt widget usually if i run linux i just use WSL, the windows subsystem thing that allows running linux stuff on windows. it's most convenient for me.

[dreamy rose]

No U

[unkempt widget]

anyways at this rate i might as well bring my 6kg super thick laptop to use for schoolwork lmao

which is also really dirty because i had someone younger than me come to my house and the parents were like "oh he wants to play minecraft with you"

[ashen zodiac]

why couldn't you just put macOS on the macbook and use it like that? must you have linux?

[unkempt widget]

vpn not compatible on macos
i live in china

[ashen zodiac]

ah

[unkempt widget]

vpn will make things 2 bajillion times easier for me

and school starts tomorrow

and it's 10pm for me

[dreamy rose]

macOS. all the disadvantages of Windows and linux, made even worse.

[unkempt widget]

meaning i have 1 hour left before i should sleep

[ashen zodiac]

oof

[ashen zodiac]

you might have no choice

[ashen zodiac]

just shut the fuck up please

[dreamy rose]

Speak for yourself

[ashen zodiac]

L + ratio + ur mom

[unkempt widget]

i might be able to if i figure it out tonight and format my other usb to exfat again

so i could copy the files for the vpn tomorrow morning

[dreamy rose]

pahaha. what are you even trying here?

[unkempt widget]

but the prerequisite is i have to figure out how to boot linux on my macbook

or i could just search up if the vpn has a mac version

wow it does

[dreamy rose]

that would have been an obvious step.

[ashen zodiac]

@unkempt widget do you know how to do macOS recovery?

[unkempt widget]

i've done all the steps

including disabling safe boot, and allowing booting off externally

[ashen zodiac]

so you're good in terms of putting macOS on there?

[unkempt widget]

no, it still costs money

[ashen zodiac]

yes captain obvious very helpful

[unkempt widget]

i wanna save 5 dollars ok

and if it's linux i could just download it off github

[dreamy rose]

do they even let you use linux?

[unkempt widget]

do who?

[dreamy rose]

the School

[ashen zodiac]

in china? yes? there's even a special ubuntu version for chinese users

[unkempt widget]

i'm asking my it teacher if he knows how to fix my problem
he still hasn't responded yet

not my it teacher, i don't take it

but the it teacher

and the school wouldn't not allow linux tbh

why would they

i mean it's not like anyone has used linux in the school as a desktop/laptop

(they probs use linux for their server)

[dreamy rose]

lucky bastard. my response from the it guy was "the internet wont let it"

[unkempt widget]

💀

[dreamy rose]

yeah that was obviously bullshit even before my mates Chromebook got connected to the internet

[ashen zodiac]

you have friends? that's even less believable than the it guy

[dreamy rose]

magic right?

[summer folio]

Why does google maps suck so much?

Takes like 30 sec to load a route

[fossil frost]

feels like a you problem, its instant when im using it

[summer folio]

its never instant

[ashen zodiac]

skill issue

[summer folio]

[winged tendon]

how can I safely emulate ps2 and ps3 games on my pc?

how can I legally own a ps2 iso game?

[fossil frost]

you dont

[winged tendon]

ok I will try

thanks a lot

[dreamy rose]

its not FOSS

[timid meadow]

Why does google maps suck so much? Ftfy lol

[summer folio]

You think it's because I have hundreds of Google Accounts added on my phone?

[timid meadow]

Is it just me or do so many people not understand what a close game is nowadays? Feels like if you dont straight roll the other team people tilt. Or leave after a single lost teamfight even though your ahead

[sharp kiln]

Hey everyone, new here, how do you send a setup in to be judged by Linus? Completely new to this but I’d love to get involved ☺️

[polar fern]

@sharp kiln email? 🤔

[sharp kiln]

Yeah for the YouTube vids ideally ☺️ thank you anyway

[sharp kiln]

I dont want to just randomly email though if that’s not the usual submission process. But I will keep that in mind!

[polar fern]

Fun fact: not all facts are fun

[blazing marsh]

I think they did the first one(s?) via twitter, and the China one via email, so probably just keep checking on the LTT Twitter account for a possible future post.

[polar fern]

Twitter is for fascist sympathisers

Folk really need to not use that platform anymore.

It’s really not a joke.

[timid meadow]

Fun fact: a fun fact is determined by the person who finds it fun, not someone who hears it

[polar fern]

Fun fact: cool story

[hollow pulsar]

I mean, this couldn’t possibly be a gross generalization of the same kind as racism.

[polar fern]

Eh?

[blazing marsh]

The problem is that there's no real replacement for Twitter at the moment. Mastodon is perhaps the closest competitor, but it doesn't have nearly enough users for businesses, content creators etc. To switch over yet. And as long as they aren't switching over, the normal users aren't either 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

[polar fern]

Anyone using twitter is complicit in the spread of hate speech & “the problem” is that folks are addicted & will use any excuse to assist in the normalisation of hate speech & spread of misinformation/disinformation.

[hollow pulsar]

Not even close to being true.

[polar fern]

If you use Twitter, that means that you don’t care about people being targeted by hate speech and misinformation. Plain & simple.

And anyone defending Twitter is in the same boat.

[hollow pulsar]

Apply that same logic to German citizens in WW2. I suppose the allies should have wiped them off the map because they were all complicit?

[polar fern]

“ I am here to make up excuses for why I continue to use a platform that has been taken over to allow the dissemination and promotion of hate speech”

“ I also plan to demonstrate my current cognitive dissonance on the topic”

[hollow pulsar]

And I don’t even use twitter. I received death threats in Twitter before Elon and abandoned the platform because that was acceptable speech

[polar fern]

“ I will sit in my privilege, knowing that people will suffer because of this decision of mine”

to be frankly honest, anyone defending Twitter at this point makes me sick and you should be ashamed of yourself. 🤷‍♂️

[hollow pulsar]

Not my problem. I’m not ashamed to help carry the torch of reason. I’m not defending anyone. I’m saying making gross generalizations and condemning people for using $generic is stupid, wrong, incorrect, and no different then condemning people based in where they live, or skin color.

they can't afford a keyboard
they have no income

theyre shady

[short trail]

Anyone have problems with the amd drivers lately?

[dusty rune]

not really

used to have issues tho

[short trail]

What card u use

[dusty rune]

rx 6700xt

[night heron]

no problems with my 6900xt on latest drivers on w10 or w11

[short trail]

Weirs

[dusty rune]

whats ur gpu?

[short trail]

Rx 6600

Mine be crashing everyday tho

[heady flicker]

I've done a complete install of my drivers and it's been working fine since then

[short trail]

On the newest drivers

[heady flicker]

but before that, it has been crashing a lot since rx 7000 released

[dusty rune]

i personally had to download some file to i think disable some stuff in the registry, idk if i would condone the use of it but its from nvidia

[dusty rune]

try reinstalling the drivers

[short trail]

Tried like 3 times with ddu but it still happening so

[dusty rune]

want the link to it?

[short trail]

Yeah sure lemme try to see if it works

[gusty dawn]

W10 or w11? What cpu, what ram, and have you disabled MPOs?

[dusty rune]

yeah the thing i sent is to disable MPOs

[short trail]

AMD Ryzen 5600G, 32 gb 3600 mhz, win 11 and resizeable bar is enabled

[gusty dawn]

I've had no issues with MPOs on 22H2 11

[short trail]

Weird that it only happens on newer drivers

[gusty dawn]

C18?

[dusty rune]

disabling them helped my crashes on windows 10

[short trail]

What is c18?

[gusty dawn]

Cl18

[dusty rune]

cast latency

what cl is your ram

[gusty dawn]

Cl18 3600 and cl16 3200 are notorious for having extremely poor binning that don't work properly with XMP

[short trail]

oh

[heady flicker]

ahkshully its column address select latency

[dusty rune]

mmm i kinda doubt that since they said that it only happens on newer amd drivers

[heady flicker]

that is not true

[gusty dawn]

And AMD drivers entirely reside in memory meaning that it's much more common to see crashes from memory instability

[gusty dawn]

If you are lucky and don't get samsung c die

[short trail]

Well i got cl18

[gusty dawn]

You prob are fine

Disabling mpos should be the first thing to test

[short trail]

Okie

[dusty rune]

the link i sent has the disable mpo thing

[heady flicker]

sticking to known companies would get you out of that trouble

[dusty rune]

hopefully that helps you

[gusty dawn]

It doesn't

[night heron]

if you dont manually oc anyway just buy a shit bin and save money

[gusty dawn]

Samsung c die degrades and dies at xmp

[night heron]

lmao

if that's true that's incredible

[gusty dawn]

Anything 1.35v+ kills it

[night heron]

i have 4x8gb micron rev e in my main rig

[gusty dawn]

C die has negative voltage scaling

Less voltage = more stability

It's the complete opposite of Bdie

[night heron]

bdie be like mmm yes sure ill take 1.8v i dont mind

[gusty dawn]

It was designed for 3200 c22 jedec so it makes sense

[night heron]

3200c22 is practically sodimm level

[heady flicker]

I guess I got "lucky" then

g.skill hasn't failed me in a long time

[gusty dawn]

Crucial was the best

Micron rev e

Extremely light on your memory controller and just worked

[night heron]

my cpu/board/ram combo do not play well with eachother

my 4x8gb rev e wont even post with 1n 3200c16

[heady flicker]

mine works pretty nicely hand in hand

[night heron]

regardless of voltage

[gusty dawn]

1t with 4dimms is always difficult

[heady flicker]

I got a little unlucky on my gpu however

[leaden gale]

[polar fern]

Seems my Mac Pro can get a cpu upgrade

[night heron]

owo

[gusty dawn]

Blame the flood of samsung c die

[night heron]

cries in 3200c16 rev e

[polar fern]

Uh k

[gusty dawn]

Crucial was always fine though

[leaden gale]

I mean, fair enough

[night heron]

although when i was using 2x8gb i was able to use my rev e at 4000c18

[plush rivet]

I’d love for you to explain what the hell this even means

[gusty dawn]

A common memory ic that is used in those kits is known to negatively scale and degrade at the voltage used by xmp

[night heron]

it means those two speeds are very easily achievable and common so a lot of the kits available at that speed are poor quality

they wont overclock well or at all

not all of them obviously

[full fossil]

suicidal in 2666

[night heron]

i used 2666 on my r5 1600

[gusty dawn]

So if you see a 3200 c16 drop dead later with xmp enabled it is most likely c die

[plush rivet]

I mean that also depends on the kit your buying

[full fossil]

i have 2666, last time i tried xmp, my new computer failed to boot

[gusty dawn]

Almost everything can do 3200 c16 or 3600 c18 it's entirely luck outside of crucial kits

[full fossil]

i didnt know corsair was bad untill one of you guys told me

[graceful burrow]

Is the ram actually rated to go above 2666mhz?

[full fossil]

now i just gotta stick with it

[full fossil]

yeah its the corsair vengeance or somut

[fossil frost]

3800 CL16.. Corsair, it COULD do CL14, but with WAAAY to much voltage

[graceful burrow]

Might need to add a bit of voltage

[gusty dawn]

Some of the kits are fine, but more recently it is getting worse and worse

[full fossil]

will i even notice anything above 2666

[gusty dawn]

Unless it is c die

[graceful burrow]

I got a 3200c16 kit of vengeance to run at 3600c16 no voltage increase, was nicr

[gusty dawn]

Then reduce it

[graceful burrow]

Honestly depends on your cpu

[full fossil]

i7 12700k

[graceful burrow]

Noticeable? Probably not
Measurable? Likely

[night heron]

yeah you can measure a difference but i doubt youll notice it in a blind test

[full fossil]

then i dont want to change nothing, not at least for another 3 years

[gusty dawn]

1% low jump would be pretty huge

[dusty rune]

seems fair

[full fossil]

i almost cried when my computer wouldnt boot into windows,

[polar fern]

Hmm

[full fossil]

it was my new pc i spent 1.4k on 🤣

[gusty dawn]

7800 cl36

[night heron]

4800cl40

if i had ddr5 itd be 6000c30

because thats optimal for am5

[gusty dawn]

Better than xmp or jedec ddr4

[sinful moat]

3200 16-18-18-36 for me. 🙂

[night heron]

[gusty dawn]

Cl32 performs the same

[full fossil]

[gusty dawn]

[full fossil]

[graceful burrow]

[graceful burrow]

Hey man

[night heron]

$700 chromebook?

you mean a used macbook m1 air?

[graceful burrow]

With like an 11800h or smth ye

I bought a chromebook for dnd and it worked fantastic
And then I gave it to my mom and she loves it
They're amazing for simple web based things

[gusty dawn]

The only issue is the fixed lifespan on software updates

[graceful burrow]

Trues tbh

[gusty dawn]

8 years after release and instantly are ewaste and shouldn't be used

[night heron]

8 years is a long time for a market where the laptops are usually like $250

[full fossil]

8 years is a long time for a piece of tech

[graceful burrow]

But even then at 200 bucks for what I'd consider bare min it ain't bad
Just rig up Ubuntu or somethin on it

[gusty dawn]

Emphasis on from release

The later you buy it the worse it is

[night heron]

you know windows and macos also lose support after a while

that's unavoidable unless you install linux yourself

official support* im aware you can bypass tpm for windows and forcefully install ventura on old macbooks

[sonic barn]

linux has no support

where's hdr

my thinkpad only properly works with the windows kernel for the battery firmware

so I can't get 4ghz on my cpu vs on linux its capped at 2.1ghz

[fossil frost]

HDR support on windows sucks anus too

[night heron]

hdr on desktop looks actually horrendous unless youre on oled

but oled + windows 11 auto hdr is fine

[fossil frost]

IPS LCD here, and it looks dogshit 🙂 would have gone OLED if i could, but nothing reasonable out for the sort of price i was willing to pay

tbh, HDR means nothing to my experience really

[night heron]

im also on ips atm

with 1152 dimming zones and it's still unusable for desktop imo

fine for games and movies but i dont bother switching hdr on

[gilded quest]

Oh shit really? What display?

[night heron]

innocn 27m2v

[gilded quest]

Could it be lackluster firmware?

[night heron]

lackluster native contrast ratio

massive blooming with desktop elements

[gilded quest]

hmm

[night heron]

the firmware also isnt great

[gilded quest]

I've only used windows HDR on an OLED C9

[night heron]

it forces some form of dynamic contrast post processing with local dimming enabled

totally wrecks the image

[gilded quest]

Colors? Yes.
Contrast? No.

[night heron]

local dimming works significantly better with va panels

because youre starting with 4x the contrast

[gilded quest]

Michael, is your display edge lit, back lit, or mini LED?

[night heron]

IPS is the safest option

[night heron]

flat 27" 4k 160hz IPS with mini-led backlighting

[gilded quest]

Dam. So you have one of the best cases for IPS HDR

[night heron]

i think IPS is going to be slowly phased out over time

for most usecases

[manic torrent]

My primary display is OLED, but my secondaries are IPS

[gilded quest]

IPS will still be around for a while

[night heron]

because manufacturers can make VA panels with light scattering layers that give them ips viewing angles

but theyll still have 3000:1 native contrast ratios

and quantom dot films boost color gamut extremely wide anyway

[gilded quest]

Is this relatively new tech?

[night heron]

it hasnt been used in any monitors yet

[gilded quest]

TVs?

[night heron]

but samsung and sony use it on their premium VA tvs

[gilded quest]

VA has better pixel response times too?

[night heron]

and samsung has demonstrated they can make a va panel has 2.5ms response times with their odyssey neo g8

so nothing is stopping a manufacturer from making a 3000:1 va panel with ips viewing angles and fast response times

other than price and market interest

they also wouldnt have the ips backlight glow which is nice

[night heron]

naw but it's good enough

the fastest va panel is 2.5ms and the fastest ips panel is 1.5ms

both of those are $1000+ monitors but it just shows that it could be possible in the future

my eyes are more or less used to ips again now

the first day i switched back they were in pain

[finite cloud]

it might be on this page

https://www.dropbox.com/support

[fossil frost]

is dropbox signed in on your dropbox desktop app?

[finite cloud]

No i dont have dropbox signed into anything

[fossil frost]

ah nvm. if it WAS, you had a route in, but if not, you are boned

[finite cloud]

yeah i figured as much

maybe im signed in on my ipad but thats unlikely

[fossil frost]

if you are, there will be a dropbox.com link in the menu of the app, which bypasses 2fa, and will let you switch 2fa off

i was messing around, registeringa product for warranty on delll

and theyre really specific about what the product is intended to be used for

One of the choices is Weapons of Mass destruction

[manic torrent]

I know it seems stupid, but there are very specific legal reasons they have to ask

[gilded quest]

always be honest when buying optiplexes for WMDs

[manic cedar]

I wonder if this is how they figured out if iran had nukes

[manic torrent]

.... no.

[past egret]

they didnt

[manic cedar]

youd think WMDs would come under milotary

or nuclear

but no, those are seperate categories.

[manic torrent]

yep

[past egret]

WMD can be any weapons that cause mass destruction

[sonic barn]

WD40

[manic cedar]

you mean like an assault rifle?

[past egret]

whether it would be biological, nuclear or chemical

[past egret]

that barely kills 100 people in an hour

if it doesnt jam

[manic cedar]

wheres that matther mcconaughey picture when i need it

[fossil frost]

@manic torrent : why is it that so many tutorials, and examples of code for any microcontroller, appear to have developers who are absolutely happy with code that completely blocks the main loop, in some instances, forever, while waiting for an input, preventing anything further from happening...

[manic cedar]

@past egret all seperate categories that are choices

[manic torrent]

because a) it's simpler b) people are stupid. I am literally thinking about this today because my KVMs have RS232 control and I don't want them to block and be able to reset themselves.

which would require a session wrapper with a non blocking recieve call and a timeout to reset session.

i wanna send data to a arduino nano so i can spit out some pictures onto an LCD... and it seems like the only way to do it... is serial over usb, via scanf...

[manic torrent]

You could do it from SD card

you could burn them into the eeprom with the code

[fossil frost]

fuck.... didnt think about NOT using serial... i could use tinyusb and make it a HID device.... piss simple 😄

[manic torrent]

there is no "only" way 🙂

[coarse comet]

How's everyone doing

[fossil frost]

3.2" LCD + ardunio nano and a few bits of code... and... a patch to librehardwaremonitor... and i have a hardware stats HUD on my desktop :D...

Currently 2400 here in Scotland

[manic torrent]

you mean 0000?

[coarse comet]

Same thing

[fossil frost]

typical Scottish person, trying to be different to everyone else 😄

[coarse comet]

You can use either

[fossil frost]

you cant... there is no 2400.. its 0000

[coarse comet]

My ps5 says 2400

[manic torrent]

When “the clock strikes twelve”, military time denotes 0000. Although it is also possible for military personnel to use 2400 in military time as a midnight indicator, 0000 is typically preferred. Technical military time users often distinguish the two as follows:

The four digits 0000 signal the start of a day.
The four digits 2400 signal the end of a day.

[fossil frost]

your ps5 is stupid

[coarse comet]

It is the end of the day
