Both, see how it's confusing for everybody?

[clever path]

When I think of chips, I think of stuff like Pringles and Doritos, not fries

[sweet jetty]

Too bad

[dreamy rose]

those are Crisps.

[swift moth]

i think of crisps

[sweet jetty]

Exactly

[vapid smelt]

the potato chip like this where first called/made in America by George Crum and where called Saragota chips

[dreamy rose]

wel. maybe Doritos are Chips. cause those are Corn. but

[vapid smelt]

bro doesn't listen to the rules and they have it archived

[rigid moon]

yea

[eager notch]

I miss my fiber internet 😦

[rigid moon]

you mean carbon fiber?

[eager notch]

I cancelled it because I'm kind of poor right now and I'm on the poor people cable internet but my god is it shit

[eager notch]

No, fiber optic

[rigid moon]

imagine using that material to make pc chassis

[wet marten]

at this point I cant tell if its a bit, or people actually dont know ltt stands for linus tech tips. if its still a bit Im probably ruining it by being thickskulled lol

[fluid ridge]

linus tech tips sounds really bad

[eager notch]

My PC case consists of the motherboard box

[fluid ridge]

i know that linus started it in the really early days and took the name from NCIX but it's a mouthful

the newer channels have much better names though

ShortCircuit, TechLinked, etc. all go pretty hard 😎

[wet marten]

I thought you were gonna follow this with “whats linus tech tips?” for a second lmao

[tender geyser]

It’s cute

[swift moth]

whats linus tech tips?

[wet marten]

there we go

[swift moth]

whats a linus

[wet marten]

whats a tech tip??

[eager notch]

TechLinked is based off of the NCIX YouTube channel that was Netlinked Daily

[wet marten]

I just watched an old netlinked today for some reason

[swift moth]

damn linus looks like he aged up 40 years

[wet marten]

actually, I do know the reason, but yeah

[swift moth]

ik thats linus torvalds

[wet marten]

I cant unsee it though

got the squareish head

coupd be a relative to linus

[swift moth]

does linus have finnish relatives

[wet marten]

[runic lagoon]

The manuals sometimes show what differ sized mother boards would look like. But usually it’s like just cut it off after the first pcie slot.

[wet marten]

how about an itx board in an e-atx case

[peak sinew]

To undervolt it, is through bios right

[wraith sonnet]

I'll do that with an itx in an atx lan box saturday, just remind me

[runic lagoon]

If it supports it. I’m will be I. The manual. Usually with a diagram. But you might want to pay attention to where the pass through holes are.

[polar fern]

Looking into a lumbar support thingy.

[wet marten]

I meant itd be an interesting thing to see, but ye

if I want my 240mm water cooler to be an exhaust on top of my case, what orientation should the fans be in? I get confused on fan orientation

Interesting blade design

I guess it’s supposed to work in an open config

[vapid smelt]

for the air coolers

[polar fern]

That looks really good

[hot loom]

Will game developers/modders have to directly add DirectStorage support for their games or will it just be a built in setting?

[polar fern]

Likely will become commonplace on certain tier of boards going forward just like every other advancement in standards

[hot loom]

So it would have to be manually added to games like Skyrim and such?

[polar fern]

In 6 years most of the hardware in use now won’t be around as primary use for the vast majority of people

he talks about zalmans great trust worthy history too

[unkempt widget]

holy shit my fridge did the weird thing to my ice cream

and now it's melted and frozen multiple cycles through

[vapid smelt]

samsung?

[unkempt widget]

no

i don't know the brand, but now my ice cream doesn't taste good

[vapid smelt]

sue

[unkempt widget]

it weirdly tastes warm

[full fossil]

I absolutely love how linus actually plays in his sponsors ads https://youtu.be/lL3OnNaN1-s

[runic lagoon]

tried it, it's very limited, but for a small shop. It's probably enough to get buy.

[full fossil]

??

[rigid moon]

yea idc about the design but the performance

[runic lagoon]

pulseway, it's very limited as a MDM. Like something like RMM does alot more in comparison.

[full fossil]

Ah ok

[rigid moon]

must be gud

[polar fern]

@unkempt widget that ice cream is no good.

Should never melt.

[unkempt widget]

it's been doing that a lot recently

[polar fern]

Once it’s liquid you consume or dispose.

[unkempt widget]

it has the weird crispy texture now

[polar fern]

Sounds like you have a leak, bad compressor, stuck valve, or defrost error

But for real, you should not eat that ice cream just throw it away

[unkempt widget]

oh wait am i not supposed to eat it anymore?

now i'm even more sad :(

[polar fern]

Yes, it’s bad - toss it

I mean, unless you wanna risk getting violently sick out both ends for 2-3 days

🤷‍♂️

[graceful burrow]

You can eat it
It won't make you sick

[polar fern]

Oh yes, it will

[unkempt widget]

damn

that might explain why my stomach's been acting up

[graceful burrow]

All it is is thawing and refreezing causing ice crystals to form more and more
It happens because of your freezer's defrost cycle
Which is normal
I used to work support for large appliances

[polar fern]

You are never supposed to thaw and refreeze any type of bacteria carrying food items, including dairy and meat

[graceful burrow]

It doesn't unfreeze far enough to cause bacteria to grow

[polar fern]

A household refrigerator should not be melting someone’s ice cream

[graceful burrow]

L
Mao

You should study how defrost cycles work in modern appliances

I did it as a job for 3 years

[polar fern]

For example, if you leave ice cream in a bowl for several hours and you come back and it’s basically just a pile of foam that will make you sick.

[unkempt widget]

i thought getting mad at each other was a children's thing
why are adults so mad at each other

[graceful burrow]

No shit lmao

[polar fern]

That’s cool dude, he said it melted

[graceful burrow]

It doesn't unfreeze that far

[unkempt widget]

wait really???

[graceful burrow]

It's little by little

[polar fern]

Again, people treating me like I don’t know anything. Awesome Gotta love it

[unkempt widget]

it can't be that ice cream has so much sugar

it can raise an entire family

[graceful burrow]

You don't know anything here
I have so much more experience in this field than you lmao

[polar fern]

It’s not just the sugar, there is proteins and fats too

I don’t really care, you can go away now

[unkempt widget]

ok yes i get it thank you

[graceful burrow]

I'm not arguing with transit, it's a waste of my time
Trust him or not
It's your call (but really it's fine)

[unkempt widget]

i read the nutritional values on food

[unkempt widget]

it tastes bad lmao

[polar fern]

Yeah, ice cream is basically like foodborne illness waiting to happen once it starts warming up. It really needs to be consumed within an hour after coming out of the freezer.

[graceful burrow]

Probably

[unkempt widget]

but having large numbers of bacteria in a fridge doesn't seem likely

[polar fern]

The bacteria is already in the ice cream

[graceful burrow]

It isn't likely

[polar fern]

There’s always some kind of microbes in food, and once you open it, you have exposed to the air which introduces brand-new microbes, even if it was totally sanitary before

[unkempt widget]

so when i eat it there's a lot of bacteria in there

so i'm eating a lot of bacteria

[graceful burrow]

I wonder if he knows the defrost cycle only goes up to about 20f (still below freezing)

[unkempt widget]

with your logic, that bacteria can't be that harmful lmao

[unkempt widget]

then why does it melt then :(

[polar fern]

Basically a refrigerator & a freezer is a food edibility prolonging device. It does not stop food from going spoiled.

[graceful burrow]

Ice cream stays soft at freezing

So it doesn't take much more

But it's still below the threshold of it getting warm enough to cause any real harm

[unkempt widget]

20F is like a lot below freezing right (about -6C right?)

[graceful burrow]

Yeah 32f is freezing

[unkempt widget]

so if it's soft at freezing, why does it melt at that

[graceful burrow]

Because it's already close to the threshold

Just like gallium is liquid at room temp

[polar fern]

Freezer should hold temperature between -10, and 0°F or -23.3 to -17.8 c

[vapid smelt]

Weird looking cat outside my window

[graceful burrow]

To freeze ice cream solid would be like -15f

[polar fern]

It should not be anywhere near melting in the freezer

[graceful burrow]

They're cute give them chips

[unkempt widget]

it's set to -18C

[graceful burrow]

Jesus fuck mate

[polar fern]

No, that’s not quite cold enough

[unkempt widget]

looks more like a raccoon or am i just tripping

[vapid smelt]

It is

[unkempt widget]

oh lmao

[graceful burrow]

It is indeed
0F is the default freezer temperature on all major appliances being sold today

:)

[unkempt widget]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-missed-over-your-head-gif-8604199

[unkempt widget]

this is what happened to me

[graceful burrow]

Don't worry transit
You'll be knowledgeable about stuff some day

Anyway
Who's excited about the new x3d chips

[unkempt widget]

that's not nice

[graceful burrow]

I'm not nice

[polar fern]

You can test your freezers functionality by putting a plastic freezer safe cup of tapwater in there and sitting for about six hours. If it is not frozen solid in six hours them you have a problem

[manic torrent]

rocket appliances!

[unkempt widget]

kind of yeah
i already have a 13600K
but i really wanna see how they perform

[polar fern]

Wow dude, I guess I’m gonna have to go back to blocking you

[graceful burrow]

Oh no!
What ever will I do!

[unkempt widget]

as if anyone cares tbh

[graceful burrow]

[manic torrent]

dude icecream that unfroze isn't dangferous

[graceful burrow]

Don't bother, you know how transit is

[manic torrent]

I have eaten pizza that was left out all night

[graceful burrow]

Zero growth
Zero knowledge gain
Zero effort

[polar fern]

I have taken classes in food safety and sanitation I know exactly what I’m talking about. Thanks.

[graceful burrow]

Only knows double down and dumb argument

And block

Lmao

[manic torrent]

you couldn't serve it commercially, no

[polar fern]

cooked food can be safe for far longer than cold food

[manic torrent]

but that's not the same as lol eating ice cream

[polar fern]

With cold food, you’re simply delaying microbial growth with cooked food the microbes are basically gone and they have to start over again

[unkempt widget]

so you're telling me i should cook a food and then put it into the refrigerator right away

[manic torrent]

I always cook a food

[polar fern]

Rule number one tho is you never refreeze something that has been thawed

You’re basically preserving the microbes to infect you later

[manic torrent]

get a strong stomach

[polar fern]

What do you think scientists use to store dangerous bacteria, fungi and viruses? Freezers and refrigerators.

[graceful burrow]

This is bad for your fridge just letting you know

Ik you're memeing but still

It heats up the cavity too fast and causes other foods to go bad around it

[manic torrent]

fridges are a scam anyway,

[polar fern]

Yeah you shouldn’t put very hot food in the fridge. You should definitely let it cool down at least a little bit because you’re affecting the other stuff in the fridge & condensation on the coil can lead to icing

[graceful burrow]

True

Dang he used the word coil he's really tryna act smart

Bet he's got 3 "how do refrigerators work" tabs up lmao

@manic torrent is your monitor crucifix up fully yet

[manic torrent]

I don't understand why we don't have split system fridges

[polar fern]

Someone I know used to put soup in a pot uncovered in the fridge right from the stove, and they wondered why their fridges kept dying.

Split system?

like put the condenser outside?

[vapid smelt]

Why would they put a freshly cooked meal in the fridge?

[polar fern]

That’s what most commercial kitchens do

well, if you’re in a hurry or you made too much or you’re saving it for another day etc

[manic torrent]

yes.

[vapid smelt]

Fellow pixel user!

[polar fern]

Yeah, most commercial kitchens have the condensers for the cold spaces outside

[graceful burrow]

Nice embed kek

[polar fern]

That way you’re not adding heat to the kitchen, which is often already pretty hot with all of the cooktop stuff going on

[manic torrent]

yeah nfi what happened

[graceful burrow]

90mb photo

[unkempt widget]

i've never seen an embed over 80mb tbh

[unkempt widget]

it's a video

[graceful burrow]

Same thing

It didn't embed because of its size

[manic torrent]

it typically reprocessesthough

[graceful burrow]

I've never seen it reprocess large files

Discord skill issue tbh

You don't have perms

[polar fern]

[manic torrent]

crane!

[vapid smelt]

I have 2 raccoons outside my window

[graceful burrow]

CRANE!

[polar fern]

Seems to work?

[graceful burrow]

They're cute

[vapid smelt]

No Wonder why I heard so many leafs moving out my window they are a couple on a honeymoon

[polar fern]

I hope they use protection

🥁

[manic torrent]

The other brackets arrived today, so I should actually be able to have the crane installed tomorrow!

[polar fern]

So what kind of crane is that what is it used for?

[manic torrent]

It's a PC crane

It's a... Crane.

Custom design by me, made because I am insane

[vapid smelt]

To keep the PC out of reach from his son 😛

[polar fern]

Sounds like fun

That is very delicious looking extruded channel

[fossil frost]

adopt them. name one "rocket"

[manic torrent]

It better be, shit ain't cheap! That's $80 iirc

[polar fern]

Nice

[fossil frost]

i still find it shocking how much aluminium extrusion costs

[polar fern]

So I took my girlfriend‘s car to the car wash on Wednesday morning and it cost me $14 and when I was done, her car was still dirty on a whole bunch of spots, especially the windows and such it was just a really bad wash job I am actually pretty surprised at how terrible it was

[vapid smelt]

Just pour your own with old soda/beer cans

[polar fern]

So about two hours ago, I drove over to a DIY car wash and did it properly, and now the car looks immaculately clean - for $12

[fossil frost]

automatic? or was somebody doing it?

[vapid smelt]

Cost $8 here for the automatic carwash

[polar fern]

The $14 one was automatic, yes

I could’ve gotten it for less, but I wanted the car to actually get properly clean so I added the extra detergent rinse thing. So much for that.

[fossil frost]

automatic ones suck balls... always take it to a manned manual one... costs about the same, and they do a much better job, and... you dont have to do it yourself 😄

[polar fern]

There are very few of those open in the winter time here

Keep in mind, this was around 2 am in February in the north-east US.

The DIY one I mean

[full fossil]

Is it stealing if I read a book and then make a video course from it?

[graceful burrow]

If all you're doing is transcribing the book I think it'd definitely fall under plagiarism
Gotta add your own

[polar fern]

back in January 2019 my girlfriend was flying back from a cruise that she went on with her mom up near where her mom lives, and I took the train up so I could drive her back so she could relax on the trip home and her car by the time I got back down to Pennsylvania the car looked like a giant salty road booger.

It was extremely satisfying when I went to wash it

[manic torrent]

Layout for the back of the crucifix

Got my two kvms that take rs232

[graceful burrow]

This is unhinged kek

[polar fern]

Salty road booger

[vapid smelt]

Is the crane going to be manual operated or remote control?

[manic torrent]

Dude.

[unkempt widget]

yo my pc is so loud, and i'm downloading at 70mb/s

it gives me a sense of power

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[manic torrent]

The crane is going to be integrated with the crucifix, because when it moves, the crane needs to move because the PC is used as a counterweight

[full fossil]

Hmmm xP thx

[polar fern]

@manic torrent you’re a madman. 👍

[manic torrent]

It will all work from home assistant, and I will have buttons on the streamdeck to switch KVM and run the crane etc.

Once this works, I move on to stage 3, which is the crane running over to the shelf next to the desk

[polar fern]

So you’re going to have a gantry crane basically

[manic torrent]

Stage 4 is beautification, running covers and fascias

Correct

[polar fern]

That’s pretty cool

[manic torrent]

S.W.L. 50kg

[polar fern]

Lite

[manic torrent]

It could probably be 100, but I want to keep it well within spec.

[polar fern]

My girlfriend is going to go leave for work in the morning in a few hours and wonder why her car is sparkling clean it’s going to be really funny

[manic torrent]

PC is about 20-25, 30 tops. Crucifix is more like 50, but it's not free hanging.

[vapid smelt]

25kg in radiator glass and liquid

[manic torrent]

The whole thing has cost...... Way more than I estimated at first.

But it will be fucking epic

[vapid smelt]

If you throw away the receipts it cost nothing

[polar fern]

I’ve always wanted to have some sort of a computer on an overhead rail that could go between rooms and stuff, but obviously aside from the cost power delivery would definitely be an issue

[manic torrent]

Will have to do a video shoot once it's all done

[polar fern]

I would have to do some sort of extension cord coiling type thing

[manic torrent]

Ezpz. You'd have a swivel plug system and it would have dual inputs. Youd run the cable above it and have ports every x m

[polar fern]

But what if I didn’t want the thing to ever power off on the move?

[manic torrent]

D u a l I n p u t s

[polar fern]

No peppa

[vapid smelt]

But can you write it off as a work expense since you work from home?

[polar fern]

People who work remotely can do work expenses yes

[unkempt widget]

hi

[polar fern]

Hi

How was your ice cream?

Honestly, sounds like your refrigerator has a screwed up timer

[manic torrent]

Ehhh, it's questionable 🙂 - all the cables I am writing off, and the tech gear. The crane stuff... No

[graceful burrow]

(it doesn't)

[dapper kindle]

Im trying to build a pc right now because I was using my moms pc does anyone have a extra cpu and a cpu cooler, power supply, or motherboard

[graceful burrow]

No begging

[dapper kindle]

Ok

[graceful burrow]

Against server rules

[polar fern]

If the defrost clock runs too long and then the cooling cycle doesn’t start back up as the thermostat triggers a call then it will partially thaw out and get liquid and then refreeze & get crunchy

[dapper kindle]

Oh k

[polar fern]

Crunchy ice cream is a good sign that your refrigerator either needs service or time to shop for a new one depending on what is actually wrong with it

My food safety instructor would definitely be firing up the torch and cutting that thing up for scrap

[unkempt widget]

remember when 3d glasses were a thing?

[polar fern]

They still are a thing?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
What the hell kek

[unkempt widget]

not as common

[graceful burrow]

3d tvs were mega cringe tbh

[unkempt widget]

when was the last time you went to a cinema and they handed out those weird ass blue and red glasses

[polar fern]

I mean, like most movie theatres have a 3-D option

That’s only one type of 3-D actually

And the last time I went to a movie theatre was February 2020.

I will not likely go back to a movie theatre any time soon probably 4-5 years

[unkempt widget]

i was probably in my diapers when i went to a movie where there was 3d glasses handed out

[polar fern]

If you’re talking about the red and cyan paper glasses, then no, that was an older process. Nowadays, we have other processes which don’t need those.

[full fossil]

So it was last year?

[unkempt widget]

no, just yesterday with my classmates

[polar fern]

😲

[full fossil]

Lol

[unkempt widget]

:( why are you so mean

[full fossil]

I'm joking 🫂

[unkempt widget]

oh damn

[polar fern]

From what I can remember the first colour process actually was 2 strip colour (red and cyan) so if they projected them slightly out of phase with each other, it would produce a depth type effect

[unkempt widget]

although those ones were quite cool, minecraft even had a 3d mode

[manic torrent]

Also generally in poor taste

[unkempt widget]

i remember reading about it in the handbooks and went "that's quite cool"

[graceful burrow]

I figure that went without saying tbf

[manic torrent]

You'd think....

[polar fern]

In poor taste, like this segue t our sponsor

[unkempt widget]

glasswire

wait what does he say in glasswire

[polar fern]

Yes

[graceful burrow]

To be fair
Not many people around here think

[polar fern]

I don’t remember, I’m too tired

I need to take a look at my block list

I miss having no one on my block list. Oh well.

A modern bigger version is a PERFECT mini remote desktop machine

[manic torrent]

You really don't

[neon mesa]

It's perfect for RDP

[unkempt widget]

disgusting

[polar fern]

Kill it with fire or put a note 6 next to it and wait

[manic torrent]

If I am on call and need to RDP, I should have a laptop. If I am not, fuck you, I'm not fucking RDPing on a fucking phone.

a phone with dex is approximately 7.2 billion times better.

[neon mesa]

A laptop is too big bruh

[graceful burrow]

I want one of those portable lapdocks

[unkempt widget]

what the fuck who will use an overclocked potato to rdp
it's not even big enough to see lmao

[polar fern]

I remember all of these tech news outlets and such kept calling these iPhone killers

[neon mesa]

I often use rdp on my phone and it's pain

[manic torrent]

My entire mobile battlestation is under 5kg, two screens, mechanical keyboard, excellent mouse, desk pad, fan, enough batteries for a while.

[neon mesa]

5kg is definitely a lot lol

[polar fern]

Remember when the Motorola droid was supposed to kill the iPhone?

[neon mesa]

A phone like that image would've been what 300g?

[manic torrent]

yeah but that's for working. If it was in case, just the laptop is fine and it's like 1.2kg

[unkempt widget]

lmao my pc probably weighs 4 times that

[neon mesa]

Motorola was epic but they're too much industrial than luxury

[manic torrent]

my PC is over 25kg

[neon mesa]

I have a laptop for rdp also

But there are many moments where bringing out a laptop is not possible

[unkempt widget]

sheesh that's a chonky boi

[neon mesa]

Like right now

Which is why the idea came to mind

Or when on a bus

[manic torrent]

and for those moments, there's fuck you, I am not remote desktopping, I will tell you what to do or I will do it later.

if you are that indispensable, you've done it wrong.

[unkempt widget]

ew use a laptop for rdp
you probably couldn't even see anything in those phones

a laptop also doesn't weigh that much now

[neon mesa]

Sometimes i rdp on my S8+ and it's plenty enough screen space

As i said i also bring a laptop

[polar fern]

My Lenovo is like 4.5 kg.

[manic torrent]

to see? yes. To use? ... notrly

[neon mesa]

Actually i use it just fine
It's just when typing it's pain

[manic torrent]

and has 0kg of water 🙂

[neon mesa]

That's the only problem with it

[unkempt widget]

my school uses dell optiplex 5070
or at least they look like it

[neon mesa]

Which is why i want that LG type phone
But a modern version that's bigger

[polar fern]

Yeah, similar

[unkempt widget]

depends on what you mean by learn

[polar fern]

I don’t know can you?

[manic torrent]

ezpz.

[neon mesa]

Learn, yes. Be actually good, no

[polar fern]

COBOL, Fortran, basic, C, Java, python.

[unkempt widget]

also i can't be the only one who thinks that taking classes to learn languages is quite innefficient right? or am i just dumb

[manic torrent]

learn C#, Java, Kotlin, and .. something else

[neon mesa]

I only know one language and 2 markup language
And you can guess what these 3 are

[manic torrent]

I mean, different people learn in different ways, but I have always found diving into the deep end is best.

[polar fern]

Of course you can do that, but you actually have to put the work in

[manic torrent]

I don't even know how many languages I know, they all kind of smush together

[unkempt widget]

well if you just print hello world for all of those languages, does that mean you just learnt all of those languages

[polar fern]

Yes

🤣

Better get started then

[manic torrent]

ok, react is a framework, so JS is the same, python is easy enough, and C++ is another bowl of kettles entirely.

[polar fern]

Okay, I need to wash some stuff and maybe try to go to sleep

[neon mesa]

What kind of job accepts someone who only learnt these languages in the past 6 months bruh better tell me

[polar fern]

Y’all be good

[manic torrent]

all clients think they are important

incorrect 😄

[neon mesa]

Are you actually doing good shit with it

Because there's a saying a jack of all trades is a master of none

[unkempt widget]

it's an internship

[manic torrent]

... is often times better than a master of one.

[unkempt widget]

it makes no sense that people in the us get interned for no money

A master of two is better than 9 languages

[manic torrent]

honestly if you mastered 2 languages and you aren't proficient in another 7, I don't know wtf you are doing

depending on how you count, of course.

I doubt it.

[neon mesa]

i wouldn't count HTML and CSS as a programming language though

[manic torrent]

that is not the same as mastery 🙂

like, don't get me wrong, you're probably decent, but mastery is something that takes years, and implies deep knowledge of not just what, but how and why

[unkempt widget]

idk according to my grades i got an A in physics
i don't know shit still lmao

[neon mesa]

I guess one of these

[manic torrent]

Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.”

Knight turned the machine off and on.

The machine worked.```

[undone sage]

hello

[manic torrent]

^^ THAT is mastery 😄

[neon mesa]

Everyday life of windows

[undone sage]

[neon mesa]

Whatever the fuck happened but restarting fixed it

[unkempt widget]

lmao so true

when that doesn't work, is when it's concerning

[neon mesa]

Then power cycle it... Again

[manic torrent]

you absolutely can.

[neon mesa]

Works a lot of the time

[manic torrent]

programming is easy.

[neon mesa]

Knowing syntax is easy
Knowing what to write isn't
But if you already proficient in one language it shouldn't be an issue

[unkempt widget]

that's what my physics teacher said but replace programming with physics

it absolutely isn't
i'm in trauma i think i fucked up my test

[manic torrent]

physics is not hard dude

[unkempt widget]

hmm on the bright side i will still get an A average if i get a 60% on this test

[unkempt widget]

it is hard wdym

i'm still only in the basic stuff

[manic torrent]

F=ma

[unkempt widget]

one time the question was just "how many 2V batteries do you need for 12V"
and my head worked faster than my hand
and i figured out it was 6, before i was able to show my working
and then i straight up did 12/6=2

[manic torrent]

You're probably not even learning that gravity doesn't exist

[unkempt widget]

a B???
that's shameful, your family should feel ashamed

[manic torrent]

I mean, it also depends on what sort of load you're running, and how far the wiring is, because you might have a lot of voltage drop

[unkempt widget]

whatever
it's a theory paper

[manic torrent]

caveat when I say programming is easy: I taught myself from a refernce book in 1995, and have been doing it professionally for 20+ years

[unkempt widget]

my biology teacher told me he was actually lying to us

[manic torrent]

lies-to-children. It's how you explain stuff, before you go deeper.

[manic torrent]

I literally use that knowledge to build RGB systems 😄

[unkempt widget]

he said
"you would start noticing a lot of the biology we taught to you in lower secondary were lies, that's because they are. In fact, we're lying to you right now, you'll find out if you take biology in A level or university"

also what happened to noah

oh nvm he just deleted the message

[full fossil]

That's normal

If they didn't U wouldn't understand anything

[unkempt widget]

yeah but i just found the honesty funny

[manic torrent]

most people don't have the capacity to go that deep.

Half of everyone is below average.

[unkempt widget]

true, true

[full fossil]

Can't write what I think about most people ... That would get me banned

[unkempt widget]

what

i am currently flossing my keyboard with a tissue paper

[full fossil]

Lemme phrase it this way: I don't like people cause they are often not that smart. Most of them

[unkempt widget]

i would like to add to that by saying most people aren't geniuses

[manic torrent]

The problem with that is - it's not their fault

[full fossil]

And people are assholes

[unkempt widget]

but ultimately, i think we're both projecting

[manic torrent]

the other problem is that many people have taken advantage of those people.

[unkempt widget]

also true

[full fossil]

everyone dum just to a certain degree but a lot of people take that degree very far yes

[full fossil]

Especially I take it very far

Or wanna say something against that @light condor @full fossil

[manic torrent]

msot people are

[graceful burrow]

Nah it's pretty ballin

That's because you aren't smart

[polar fern]

Mmm. Just had some bitter orange marmalade & marscapone on wheat & oatmeal bread toasted.

There is definitely a difference between smart and intelligent

You can know all kinds of information, it’s how you apply it that matters in the end

I mean, if you wanna be numb to the universe and everything that goes on around you sure, I guess you could have that attitude

Why would you even say that persons name here?

Gross

Yeah, let’s not learn about anything including language or how to write or type or interpret anything that we encounter. Have fun with that - blocked.

The irony of someone using the Internet to ask why we should learn anything.

BRB gonna go harvest more datacentres from the back 40 acres

We’ll have a fresh crop of Internet pretty soon

[rigid moon]

no rgb = no good

[manic torrent]

cypher was right. plug me back in

[polar fern]

Oh and tomorrow, we’re going to go across town and harvest fully manufactured automobiles

Because this shit just pops out of the ground and no one ever learned anything to make anything

[visual rain]

are casetify cases good for protection

[neon mesa]

that's another chatGPT error

opposite charge = attract not repel

[polar fern]

Dunno. I use speck cases.

[full fossil]

I, without a doubt, am one of those

[polar fern]

Imagine someone trying to use language to tell me that learning language isnt important

Hey, look at this beautiful toaster over here, it will toast my bread magically without me doing anything even plugging it into anything

[broken crown]

QCD jumps in, drop kicks QED in the stomach, and says, "Fuck your physics."

[polar fern]

A nucleus is not positively charged

Protons have a positive force

Electrons are just grumpy neutrons

All of that negativity

[broken crown]

And neutrinos are rage-fueled kids in a souped up Civic downing their fourth Monster of the hour.

[polar fern]

Gravity is very weak, and matter is actually also very weak

[amber cairn]

Oh my, you broke it

[polar fern]

However, it does seem that gravity in matter are a team

[broken crown]

Pfft, look at this guy, thinking gravity exists

[sweet jetty]

Blood

[broken crown]

Actually this one is great, there are legit theories that gravity doesn't exist. Or, sort of doesn't, like wave forms vs. virtual particles, kinda but different. Physics is wild.

[polar fern]

Open AI as a large haemorrhoid, according to Down detector

[manic torrent]

it doesn't exist. Not as a force.

[polar fern]

When folks get pedantic about things when I am very tired, that is when I block folks.

[manic torrent]

I mean you can simplify it in a newtonian physics way

[polar fern]

True story

[broken crown]

No I mean there are some new experiments that suggest it doesn't exist in any form like we know (waveforms, particles either 'real' or virtual, etc.), but as a separate new thing entirely. It was reinforced in that newly published paper on holographic wormholes.

[polar fern]

Yeah yeah, yeah the universe space-time is curved and basketballs and soft balls and black holes blah blah blah

Gravity is far too weak to be a force

The only explanation is that it’s leaking out into somewhere else

And seeing as that is not precisely likely, is probably not a force

It is simply an observed phenomenon

I had a pretty weird hypothesis a few years ago to where our memories collectively actually store gravity as information, maybe that’s why gravity is so weak. 🤷‍♂️

Our consciousness does definitely play into it though somehow

[manic torrent]

it really doesn't

[polar fern]

to be aware of a phenomenon for it to exist for us to observe it to begin with is something that we have yet to solve

[broken crown]

Consciousness only plays into it as far as being able to put a name to things

[amber cairn]

so if enough people forget gravity exists I can finally nail that 3.2 meter high jump?

[polar fern]

Our reality only exists because we perceive it as such

We have yet to figure out what role this plays

[broken crown]

Observer Theory is neat and all, but nah

It's just ego my guy

[polar fern]

That’s not what I’m talking about

[broken crown]

Like humanity ego. Physics doesn't exist because we think about it. It existed when plants were just vibin' on sunlight with nothing else going on.

They weren't thinking about gravity. They were just chillin'. It still existed.

[neon mesa]

this guy is stubborn, i created a new chat and asked it to correct mistakes on the answer i pasted

[polar fern]

Let me put it as simple as possible. We are the universe. The universe is not something separate from us. We are not inside of the universe. We are the universe it’s all one thing. Our consciousness has to play into the picture somehow.

[manic torrent]

it totally doesn't

[polar fern]

Show proof

[manic torrent]

you're the one making crazy claims

[polar fern]

I’m just hypothesising, I’m not making crazy anything

[manic torrent]

you have drawn an EXTREMELY long bow

[amber cairn]

It's all just ways for us to parse phenomenon in nature, the name of a concept doesn't mean much or even the understanding of what it actually is, it's just a way to describe reality

[broken crown]

We are not inside of the universe. We are the universe it’s all one thing.
I'm pretty sure like, most physicists would disagree with this statement.

[polar fern]

Not talking about naming things

So we are separate from the universe, even though we are made up of matter and energy?

🤦‍♂️

[manic torrent]

I mean yes, we are part of the universe, but the idea that consciousness has any special meaning has no basis in anything

[broken crown]

Just because I disagree doesn't mean your other extreme is thusly true.

[amber cairn]

Imagine a fish bowl if you will, we call it universe... etc etc

[polar fern]

I didn’t say it was special, I’m saying, it plays a part in whatever “this” all is

I don’t need to imagine

[manic torrent]

not in a physics way though

[polar fern]

I didn’t say anything about physics

[manic torrent]

yes, it's special yadda yadda

I am also a meat popsicle

my usless fleshy body will rot the same as all the others

[polar fern]

And physics, it’s in the word physical things that affect mass and energy, physics,l - our consciousness is outside of physics for the most part

[broken crown]

Yes, we are. A pebble in water is not the water. A person standing in air is not the air. We are part of it, we are not all of it as you are effectively explicitly stating.

[manic torrent]

so maybe rocks are better?

[polar fern]

Air is made out of molecules I didn’t say we are air

[manic torrent]

it really isn't.

[polar fern]

JFC

[manic torrent]

consciousness is what you think you have because you are a meat with electricity

[polar fern]

Well I’m sorry you guys can’t follow along.

[broken crown]

You said, and I quote, "We are not inside of the universe. We are the universe it’s all one thing." This explicitly states we are the thing we are inside. So yes, you did say, "We are air" in effect.

[polar fern]

Again, that’s not what I’m talking about

Nope, wrong again

[wary summit]

Microsoft rewards points becuase i have to use bing for english results

[amber cairn]

Being overly reductive isn't really doing much. What other than consciousness and cognition separates your variety of meat popsicle from a bear?

[manic torrent]

Is it possible there's a way that brains and electricity affect parts of the universe we don't yet know about? sure.

[manic torrent]

bears have consciousness and cognition

[amber cairn]

Yet they don't drive cars yet, lazy bums.

[manic torrent]

They are smarter than libertarians though

[amber cairn]

again being overly reductive is just lazy reasoning

[polar fern]

My point is that consciousness lays outside of the physical realm that we see touch feel and hear even if it is our own electrobiochemical organ called the brain spinning its own gears. The ideas that we have are not affected by magnetism or gravity or the current barometric pressure.

[manic torrent]

uhh I got news for you... they totally are

[polar fern]

Ideas lay outside of the physical realm

[wary summit]

i bought one of those magsafe phone coolers

CONCEPTS are not physical, IDEAS are electrical meat sack things

[amber cairn]

for an iphone? do they even get hot enough to warrant that?

[graceful burrow]

Just hasn't been made
You make it

[broken crown]

Let me put it as simple as possible. We are part of a universe, maybe one of many. The universe is most certainly something separate from us because of inflation and the existence of separate particles of matter. We most certainly are inside of the universe, because it's not a homogenous blob (that passed 14 billion years ago). The universe is not all one thing. Our consciousness may play into the picture somehow, but to assume "We are the universe" is, at best, highly egotistical and patently false.

[wary summit]

No, for a magsafe modded xiaomi

[rigid moon]

amd+intel

[polar fern]

My point is that when people address me as if I don’t know anything about a subject I’m very familiar with - that is a surefire way to piss me off. Maybe folks in here doing it intentionally, who knows would be par for the course

[cloud dove]

I use to agree with that highly and this is coming from a guy who still proudly uses an RX570, but a lot of AMD’s new graphics card outings have been rather disappointing

[rigid moon]

ah yes, rigorous discussion, famously toxic

To ponder, sure, but to assert it? I'm gonna call your bullshit out, deal with it homes.

Clearly thousands of physicists got it wrong

We are the universe. There is no matter, just us and it, all at once.

Well this has all been riveting.

bro RT dosen't matter

[graceful burrow]

Driver issues been done and rt is cringe anyway

[wary summit]

RT is uselss

tell me where RT would be good

"fOrTnIGHT"

I do

I can turn on RT High on my laptop

More expensive than your PC dumbshit

Its like i don't have a desktop

[graceful burrow]

If only it were as cut and dry

[neon mesa]

just replaced my laptop's internal keyboard entirely DIY, feels good

doing stuff yourself is always rewarding, like pc building

wait a fucking minute

i can "build" my laptop from using spare parts and get it cheaper than buying even used one

perhaps it's something i should try in the future

[marble moat]

does anyone know why, when i stream, whether it be twitch, youtube, discord etc, sound is going to the stream but not my headphones? i believe i have all the drivers installed. Windows 10, Asus Tuf Gaming mobo with a 5800x and a 3060. My headphones are bluetooth so that may be the issue, im not sure

[summer folio]

1337 EU!

[manic torrent]

how are you managing sound?

[marble moat]

what do you mean by that?

[manic torrent]

like... are you using any apps or an audio interface, or .....

[neon mesa]

streaming via discord shouldn't require any setup/kill your audio

it's plug and play basically

[marble moat]

no

[neon mesa]

so there shouldn't be any management needed

[marble moat]

it also only happens when streaming apps, websites are fine

[manic torrent]

the thing is - windows has a default sound device, and you can also change it per app. the apps can also change it.

some apps also won't change sound device after they have started

(mostly games)

[marble moat]

hmm, odd, is there any way to fix this?

[manic torrent]

but - yes it's probably windows doing dumb shit because bluetooth

now, windows ALSO has a default communication audio device, and this might actually be your issue

[marble moat]

yeah prob

[manic torrent]

actually, I know what's happening

windows is using your headphones as a communication device - which is opening the headphones as a bluetooth headset

this overrides the headphone signal, so you only get the headset signal, which doesn't have the game on it.

[marble moat]

i could use an aux cable, but its on the wrong side

[manic torrent]

Boom, I'm a genius 😄

[manic torrent]

do you use the headphone mic

[marble moat]

yeah

[manic torrent]

you do have an option

you can set the headset device as your default output - although everything will sound like ass, all of the time

even worse than normal

[marble moat]

i dont use my mic much

[manic torrent]

or you can leave it like it is

[marble moat]

and i am gonna get a proper one soon

[manic torrent]

or you can use an aux cable.

If you have another mic, then simply set the communications device to the bt headphones, not headset

although honestly I strongly recommend voicemeeter to make this visible and easy

[neon mesa]

is there an alternative to this thing

[manic torrent]

The nondescript black box?

[neon mesa]

cause when i google "laptop power bank" they just show me these giant jackery power stations which is overkill and not portable

i mean it is portable but not laptop portable

[manic torrent]

If your laptop takes USB C power, any USB C powerbank is a laptop powerbank

[neon mesa]

it has a barrel plug which takes in 20v

need one that specifically has PD on it and have not a pathetic capacity relative to laptops

[manic torrent]

you can get a USB C to barrel plug adapter that asks for 20V 🙂

(I know because I have one)

[marble moat]

whereabouts in settings would this be?

[manic torrent]

in the advanced sound options that looks like the old control panel, because windows 11 STILL hasn't managed to get away from that shit

[neon mesa]

nope

you can do both here

[marble moat]

win 10 btw

[manic torrent]

only in the device details

not from the main sound settings screen

[neon mesa]

it's one click away

much closer than the control panel's

[manic torrent]

yeah, I just super hate the way windows handles sound, particularly the non-optional way it switches default.

especially when you plug in a monitor OOP DEFAULT SOUND GOING TO YOUR MONITOR LOLS

[neon mesa]

is voicemeeter like the best app for audio management
or is there node based ones

because visually managing the audio routes should be easier

it's pain dealing with like 5 audio interfaces

[manic torrent]

100% pipewire is best

but ... I don't know of any on windows that are simple enough to be worth using

[neon mesa]

now um i think the lenovo power bank the only one rn that has a decent enough capacity of 45wh

before i was using a 4m extension cord so i can charge when at school

but it... blew up

luckily the breaker box is accesible easily

[neon mesa]

yeah like that

[manic torrent]

yeah that's pipewire for linux, and it's what I use for audio routing

but my setup is stupidly overcomplicated

[neon mesa]

is there also VB Virtual Cable alternative

because the free one only has one set

[manic torrent]

Not that I am aware of - I paid for voicemeeter potato anyway

[mossy crest]

i'm finally going to enter Battlestation territory
i just ordered my third monitor and its requisite desk clamp arm thing
as of monday or tuesday, I will have

my PC is under my desk, on a shelf that i modded onto the desk frame

also the desk has caster wheels and fits EXACTLY into the gap at the foot of my bed

[manic torrent]

tie fighter layout best layout

[mossy crest]

pulling a 24" monitor out over the desk towards me makes it ALMOST big enough to see details without strain when sat up in bed, so i am sure the extra eight inches will help out in the bedroom har har har

[manic torrent]

mine is 27/48/27

I'm not compensating for anything......

[mossy crest]

i don't think 24/32/24 is fully matched in terms of sizes but i'm not all too bothered

[manic torrent]

oh hey this is my ... uhhhh.... I don't know but probably 4th monitor layout in the last year?

doesn't have to be perfect

[shy geyser]

will a Ugreen Nexode charge a s23 ultra at 45 watt?

[manic torrent]

did you look up the specs of either of the devices?

[shy geyser]

sure

didnt understand them

[manic torrent]

Samsung’s Super Fast Charging relies on a USB Power Delivery (PD) specification called PPS. Unlike proprietary fast charging tech, like the Warp Charging in OnePlus devices, PPS is open for any manufacturer to use, but only Samsung seems to be using it widely.

[neon mesa]

i'm still stuck on 10w charging

[manic torrent]

what nexode exactly

[neon mesa]

my old 15w brick is lost i got a 10w spare and my cheapskate ass can't be bothered to buy one

[manic torrent]

https://www.ugreen.com/en-au/products/ugreen-nexode-45w-dual-c-port-wall-charger?variant=39915631083582

PPS 45W, boom

That will be $100

[shy geyser]

nah i got the 100w one, so i assume thats pd3.0 so it should be fine also right

i paid 59GBP for the 100w one

i use it for my laptop as well

[manic torrent]

the 100W nexode will "only" charge the phone at 25W

[shy geyser]

???????? wut?

[manic torrent]

it only has 25W PPS

[shy geyser]

how do u know? pls recheck

[manic torrent]

trust me I have spent MANY hours knowing this shit

dude. Because I read and understand specs.

It literally says it only does 25W PPS

[shy geyser]

where

[shy geyser]

link the page thats from

[shy geyser]

i think htats different?

wait mine looks different

[manic torrent]

then tell me exactly what the model is.

[shy geyser]

[neon mesa]

why is there two samsung ones

[manic torrent]

because PPS is not samsung fast charge

[neon mesa]

this implies it is

which linux?

[manic torrent]

.... any

did you manage to take a look?

[manic torrent]

yeah and the specs are not clear

this is why people get stabbed

[craggy oyster]

does it support ubuntu 18.04

[manic torrent]

JFC my dude it is well past time to update.

[craggy oyster]

idk if anything else can take 512mb to 1gb of ram

[manic torrent]

There we go - so it's not in the specs, but it is confirmed

[craggy oyster]

fair

[manic torrent]

I mean you might be able to get it to work, but honestly, it seems like time to move on 🙂

[craggy oyster]

what about ubuntu 20.04

it should run well with 2 gb

[polar fern]

Ooo my new apple keyboard arrived

As much as I love my pro keyboard, it’s just getting too old and stiff

20 years of use wearing away the key guide makes the keys a bit challenging to type smoothly on

[sonic barn]

apple

[polar fern]

I now officially own all three major modern revisions of wired Apple keyboards

[stray apex]

apple keyboards are fine
the mice though

[sonic barn]

I find apple products suck

its basically a membrane keyboard

[polar fern]

Anyway, 20 years is a pretty good run for any everyday use product

[summer orchid]

me when the man driving the white van picked me up and passed mac donalds

[polar fern]

I should go plug it in and make sure all of the keys show up

[sonic barn]

me wondering where the candy is

[polar fern]

It’s really funny, I was thinking about getting a second Logitech backlit keyboard for Mac, but I ended up getting this one instead. So now I have two low profile keyboards

[eager venture]

Aren’t they membrane(?)?

[summer orchid]

me wondering why the candy is so soft yet hard

[sonic barn]

it is

[polar fern]

Yes, and that’s fine they’re nice and smooth

[stray apex]

So is a model m

[polar fern]

No irritating, clickety clack. Click clack click

[sonic barn]

still you don't get actuation switches

[full fossil]

Wow.

[polar fern]

Amaze, rite?

[stray apex]

So? Linear switches don't have that either

[eager venture]

?

[sonic barn]

but you get a good feedback

[eager venture]

Tbh,ew.

[sonic barn]

I'd rather type on a mechanical keyboard then a low profile membrane one

[polar fern]

I have honestly never understood the interest or fascination people have with noisy keyboards

[fossil dirge]

Yeah LOL 😆

[sonic barn]

ie: my thinkpad keyboard is good, but I would never replace it for a mechanical keyboard

[stray apex]

so?

[polar fern]

I don’t want feedback

[stray apex]

most people don't actually give a shit about the specific force curve of their key switches

[polar fern]

I just wanna press the dadgum key

[sonic barn]

when you're typing you care more

[full fossil]

I would replace you with mechanical keyboard

[sonic barn]

do it

[full fossil]

Lol

[polar fern]

😲

[stray apex]

plenty of software engineers mostly type on macbooks

[full fossil]

🤐

[polar fern]

About 60% of the time I am active on here I am typing on an iPhone so it doesn’t really matter

[stray apex]

mechanical keyboards are not in any way inherently better than high-quality membrane boards

[sonic barn]

and they use swift

[full fossil]

Those evil traitors

[sonic barn]

so its like 1%

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure significantly more than 1% of devs use a macbook

I don't have the stats, obviously

but regardless

mechanical keyboard people who are pretentious about it are just weird

[polar fern]

Sure sure, but how many of them have a backpack from Lttstoredotcom

[full fossil]

id have to lump mech keyboard fanboys pretty close to audio/headphone fanboys. they arent as bad but man they are within foot touching distance of eachother

[polar fern]

Foot touching distance ha ha ha ha ha

[stray apex]

At least with audio there's an actual advantage

With mechanical keyboards

[full fossil]

oh god no

[stray apex]

The hobby is basically purely aesthetic

The way your board thocks creamily has no impact on how it actually types

[full fossil]

the way the audio waves hit your ear drums dont either

[sonic barn]

you sure that is more than 1%

when you look at marketshare it says otherwise

[stray apex]

Uh, the difference between $300 headphones and $50 headphones is pretty easily audible

[full fossil]

ok

i shouldnt have used that comparisn with you

my bad

[polar fern]

Audio equipment is honestly in three tiers: 1. idgaf gimme sound, 2. Maybe this could be better, and 3. I need to demagnetise my CD.

[sonic barn]

windows 76%, apple 16%, linux 5%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

[full fossil]

so are keyboards 1. i just need to type 2. i want my fingies to feel shjmex and 3. i like to flex my wallet on poor people

[polar fern]

I remember when Apple was only 4% of operating systems

Yes that’s it

[sonic barn]

you can't really do much aside from the basics in most languages since they shifted to arm and you lack a ton of library support mainly for graphics

you can't get nvidia libraries for cuda working on apple now

the last version is like 10 years ago or something

[polar fern]

That’s not really anything I was referring to but okay

[sonic barn]

its for the 1% of devs using apple

[polar fern]

Kay

[stray apex]

Ah yes
Because as we know all software development is graphics

[sonic barn]

well are you making a console application

[stray apex]

Devs definitely don't spend 99% of their time staring at an IDE

[sonic barn]

as a software dev

[stray apex]

Which is literally a glorified text editor

No, they need all the graphics libraries

[sonic barn]

did you ever use visual studio or any of the jetbrains products

[stray apex]

Those are literally glorified text editors, yes

[sonic barn]

💀

[sonic barn]

let me guess you use notepad

[polar fern]

Devs be like

[stray apex]

Let me guess, you think Linux is the only real os for software development

[jaunty compass]

I found out something infuriating

[sonic barn]

linux is only good for servers

that's my opinion

[polar fern]

🤔

[sonic barn]

or other small things like android devices or peripherals

[jaunty compass]

a modchip for the switch that would have used super cheap off the shelf hardware got cancelled and the modder sold the source code to a random company instead

[full fossil]

?

[polar fern]

Hmmm

[full fossil]

money

[jaunty compass]

yeah; it's super irritating

the current modchips are in like

barely below $100 range. this one would have been like $5 in materials

[full fossil]

oh its a mech keeb. yea im no keeb person 😄

[polar fern]

“Linux is just for servers & phones” 👀

[jaunty compass]

[full fossil]

who said that? its mainly used for servers and phones

banned

[jaunty compass]

I'm going to wait until we get another open source chip before I mod my brother's switch lite

[polar fern]

Read above

[neon mesa]

i don't like linux but i'd live if i am forced to use it
but macs
hooo no touch with ten foot pole

[full fossil]

prolly someone i got blocked

[sonic barn]

only good

[neon mesa]

actually, one mile pole
no
1 Astronomical Unit pole

[polar fern]

Ah ok 🤣

[sonic barn]

you can still see blocked messages

[full fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-gif-25193407

but if you push the 1 au pole itll be moving faster than 1au abd break the speed of light

[polar fern]

🤣

[neon mesa]

nerd mode: the material will move as fast as the speed of sound in that material
if you move one end the other end will only move when the propagation wave hits the other end

[full fossil]

just make your laptop out of a a better material

[stray apex]

Tempted to get a MacBook just for the battery life

[polar fern]

Imagine having an operating system so insecure that there is an entire multilayered industry for antivirus and malware protection

[dreamy rose]

one click is pretty crap

[sonic barn]

its only 18 hours browsing

if you emulate apps in rosetta it can drop to 4-7 hours

[jaunty compass]

it's almost like people target the software that most people use

[stray apex]

Yeah, and my LG gram with a 72 wh battery gets like 14 running a basic text editor

MacBook battery life is bonkers

[polar fern]

That argument may have been valid in 1998 but not anymore dude

[sonic barn]

just use a arm tablet or chromebook and remote into ur pc

[neon mesa]

what? windows?
maybe because a lot more people use it meaning more market opportunity
also more people who are tech literate

[jaunty compass]

lmao what?

[dreamy rose]

the only thing a Mac is useful for. Which anything else will do just fine

[sonic barn]

easy 10 hours

[stray apex]

They're trash

[neon mesa]

when in reality windows defender is enough

[sonic barn]

surface pro x is 400$ cad now used

[jaunty compass]

💀

brooo
what is your logic here

[stray apex]

Why the fuck would I want to buy the worst surface

[sonic barn]

because its arm

🤓

[stray apex]

Windows on arm is garbage

[sonic barn]

its getting better each day

[stray apex]

So? I can't use an OS from the future

[sonic barn]

the snapdragon socs are not good though

[dreamy rose]

Almost like nobody cares for ARM it seems

[polar fern]

In my quarter-century of using an internet connected computer at home, I’ve only ever actually had malware issues with Windows.

[jaunty compass]

windows has a 74% desktop marketshare

most people out there are using windows. most malware is developed for windows.

[sonic barn]

insider preview says otherwise

[stray apex]

Apple is doing great

Microsoft just can't get anyone to make a decent arm device for them

So nobody wants to write software for shit windows on arm
So windows on arm will stay shit

[sonic barn]

they have an agreement with qualcomm so they don't allow anyone else to produce anything for windows like that

[stray apex]

Well Qualcomm certainly hasn't managed to impress

I'm pretty sure apple silicon emulating windows is better than windows on arm

[polar fern]

Yes

[jaunty compass]

on windows on arm, they have to emulate most programs anyway lol

[polar fern]

Which I find hilarious

[stray apex]

Yeah, so did apple for a while, but somehow they did it better

[jaunty compass]

Well that's pretty easy to explain how

[polar fern]

That’s what happens when your engineers actually give a fuck about the product

[jaunty compass]

they have way more control over there ecosystem, for better or worse; so they can pull off stuff like this more easily than microsoft can

[polar fern]

Surprisingly, it actually works

[stray apex]

Microsoft could not make windows on arm good
When it was just the surface

It still is just the surface

[polar fern]

Windows has to be good to begin with I think

[stray apex]

Because windows on arm sucks

[full fossil]

it got so low? damm, goodbye windows xP

[jaunty compass]

Apple can basically say
"fuck you, it's all arm now"

[sonic barn]

you can compile for arm apps on windows

[full fossil]

https://archlinuxarm.org/

problem solved

[jaunty compass]

chrome OS has 2.3% marketshare

[stray apex]

It's not as if Microsoft doesn't have a suite of extremely popular apps that make up entire workflows

[full fossil]

OwO

[polar fern]

People think it’s some big shocking thing, but this architecture has been widely in use since the very first iPhone. OSX has been on ARM since 2007

[dreamy rose]

more Linux PCs in the world means a better market

[jaunty compass]

I mean, they have office but that's the only one i can think of off of the top of my head

oh
visual studio

[stray apex]

You can perform most office tasks with office

[polar fern]

I actually switched from Microsoft office to open office back in 2008

[full fossil]

its the only os i can properly use XD finally, device fully at my control >:3 i will make it do some crazy shit man :V

[jaunty compass]

i started using libreoffice once microsoft switched to a subscription thing

[neon mesa]

you can perform most hammer tasks with hammer

[polar fern]

I am trying to think of what Microsoft product I use aside from windows

[dreamy rose]

Gamepass?

[jaunty compass]

I have an xbox one S that's basically just for my parents to watch movies on lol

[stray apex]

Yes
Office is pretty good for office work

[polar fern]

nope, just windows… interesting

[stray apex]

Apparently surface pro x didn't even have a native version of office

So like

[polar fern]

However, I use iTunes on my PC’s so there you go

[stray apex]

Why even bother

[full fossil]

the most boring work on the planet :V

[sonic barn]

it did

[jaunty compass]

You know what I hope someone makes

[polar fern]

Cubicle activities

[sonic barn]

the one in edge

there's office online

[dreamy rose]

Why bother when it wont Run NFS Undercover?

[stray apex]

Lmao

[sonic barn]

I'm not wrong

[stray apex]

Imagine buying a surface pro x, Microsoft's premium windows on arm device
And you have to use office online
