lol you should look at Corsair fan prices

[stoic beacon]

NZXT datamining through their worse version of task manager is also atrocious.

Corsair is just "ol' reliable" at this point...except for when they're not, of course. Their cases and power supplies are still great though

[full fossil]

YES

[stoic beacon]

Now you're speaking the language of a true tech person instead of just a gamer. Spend extra money to make what is ON the screen better, as opposed to making the plastic box look better.

[gilded quest]

the fans range from fine & overpriced to bad & very overpriced

[stoic beacon]

Yes. My computer doesn't even have any except for one light that is on the case that I leave turned on so I can see stuff when I drop it on the floor

[sleek iris]

if im speading over 500$ on a pc, it better be able to glow like rainbow on LSD

if im building a pc its having the best parts i need already

exactly

[jagged pivot]

Hello, I want to ask about phone screen what thread I should in

[sleek iris]

i spend over 500 which is why it better glow

under 500, i dont care

its cost for me.

1000 bucks is too much for my gpu to not have rgb

im talking in general and used gpu as example

maybe but still too much to be without.

i cant justify all the money that goes into a pc for it to be black and boring

he thinks i wont be adding underglow to his car but i will

yessss

but yea. 1000 for something that doesnt add anything interesting when like a little bit more or same price gets me customization options?

it doesnt make sense not to for me

my vega 64 and rtx 2060 i got for 200 combined

goo

coool. i like it but the case is a issue for me

i have a nzxt h510 but upgraded to a corsair 4000d

should have saved for a o11 dynamic

[finite cloud]

At least you have a better case

[plush rivet]

No that’s fine

a 4000D is fine

[sleek iris]

yeabut 360mm rad is in one of the worst positions

[finite cloud]

Corsair makes pretty good cases as far as I know

Why do you think it is that when LA gets involved in something it ends up being the best at it? Not always, but a lot? Such as. Making movies. There are some banger movies from other nations. But the US seems to be the movie makers of the world with LA at the center of movies in the US. Weed, as soon as Cali got legal weed, it quickly became one of THE spots to get weed for the world, now it very well could be the definitive spot to get weed. When martial arts started to get big in the US it took no time at all before LA was place to go learn from the best in the world. Is there something about LA that says "when we do it, we do it right"? I have always wanted to live in LA. Well, Cali at least.

[finite cloud]

That’s the good one isn’t it?

[sleek iris]

no cause its front mounted

[finite cloud]

Oh that’s the bad one

[formal dew]

No! I shan't be a zombie!!!

[sleek iris]

i was told the cause fcould top mount a 360mm

[finite cloud]

Is it possible for you to flip it over? Having it like that is better

[wanton glade]

yo guys, I downloaded a rar file that weighs 5Gb, but its actual decompressed size is 100Gb. HOW ? WHY ? AAAAAAAA

[sleek iris]

that would put the back on the where the wires could out on the bottom

[wanton glade]

[finite cloud]

What

[sleek iris]

basically no

[finite cloud]

Oh

What about the top?

[gilded plinth]

I downloaded all of Wikipedia and it was around 70 GB compressed, no idea how big when decompressed since I ran out of space

[wanton glade]

nice

[gilded plinth]

Had to use some Python package to slowly parse it like 1000 articles at a time, took my CPU like 3 days

[finite cloud]

You mean the top?

Bottom tubes front mount is fine. Top tubes front mount is bad

There’s an image of Jay showing the positions but I don’t have it

I can fit that on an SD card

[gilded plinth]

Nope, XML files

No idea then, I didn't manage to decompress it

im getting war flashbacks from the word "bad apple"

[clear creek]

?

[wintry dagger]

theres this song from an anime I forgot what its called, anyways its like 3 mins long and for the past 6 years people have been playing it on the wierdest shit, its gotten to the point where somebody made it on desmos

[clear creek]

how is it a war flashback though its an innocent song

[wintry dagger]

because when it was first popular my entire feed was filled with bad apple for like a year

[clear creek]

oh loll

[wintry dagger]

I fucking hated that song but then I saw somebody made it on desmos and now I find it funny

[clear creek]

best song

[wintry dagger]

also when is tidal gonna add rich presence to discord its so annoying

theres a workaround for it but im not a gigachad and its too complicated for my ant brain

the spotify college discount sucks ass tidal you get 3 months free and its 3 bucks a month

if spotify becomes cheaper than tidal then ill move to spotify

tbf im super insecure about my music taste but rich presence isnt worth 2 extra bucks for me

[finite cloud]

That’s not an essential feature. Sure it’s nice but uhh…not many people actually care what music you’re listening to

You don’t even have Spotify connected

[wintry dagger]

ive had zero issues with tidal for the past 7 months and spotify was a pain in the ass bc it would never open in the background it would fight over all of the other shit and always be on top, tidal starts in the background and auto minimizes to the taskbar

now I only have discord fighting over my applications

[finite cloud]

I would switch from Spotify too but I don’t pay for it so until I get kicked from my family plan I’ll just keep using it

[wintry dagger]

my parents have spotify family but they gave it to my sister and my grandpa and basically said "fuck you"

some shit bc I have a job I can afford my own spotify

remember when you got free games with nitro

when there was an actual reason to buy nitro

[finite cloud]

You complained that tidal doesn’t have rich presence and yet you don’t even use Spotify rich presence

[wintry dagger]

that was me complaining about that

you just add the application and spotify and dick-ord talk and it magically works

I didnt connect my spotify to my discord so I can still screenshare music

[finite cloud]

Oh, that was you

[wintry dagger]

yeah, I said why wont tidal add rich presence

[finite cloud]

I don’t really know. They have to partner with discord to get that to work I think

[wintry dagger]

beamng has it and its not partnered

nvm beamng is partnered I just checked and apparently theyre partnered now

I havent checked the discord since like 2019 lmao

discord gives you a green checkmark, you get access to partner only events, you get free shit from discord, and you're on the top results in the community tab

oh and you get a badge

[stone fossil]

Really tempted by a deal on a hybrid evga 1080 but worried about the aio failing in a year or two, is that a legit concern or should I just go for it?

[wintry dagger]

it should be fine

I have a 360mm aio from 2010 thats still going strong

[gusty dawn]

You will more likely have the 1080 be architecturally useless before the aio dies

(Btw that's almost here btw)

[wintry dagger]

the 1080 is already showing its age so

[stone fossil]

Would be upgrading from a 1650 super

[gusty dawn]

I wouldn't pay more than $100 for any pascal gpu including the 1080ti

[wintry dagger]

ur 1650 super is better than the 1080 architecturally

[gusty dawn]

That's a sidegrade actually

In older games the 1080 will wipe the floor with the 1650 super

[trim robin]

kinda? at some points thare are limits due to whats there. now if tehre was lets say gigibit capable in that area and every house then yea but still haveing lowerplans can help

[gusty dawn]

Look for something like an rx6600 instead

[stone fossil]

That's like double the price lol, 1080 will still get drivers for like 3 years at least

[gusty dawn]

Kepler got drivers until fairly recently and was basically ewaste

Drivers don't matter if the arch is crap

[stone fossil]

Just upgraded from a 780 last year, it worked fine in modern games until the partial dx12 support became an issue

[wintry dagger]

tbf the 700 series wasnt good as soon as the 900 series came

[stone fossil]

Also should mention I'm only gaming at 1080p 60hz

[limpid hamlet]

My rotator

[wintry dagger]

if 900 series had 8gb of vram id still be using my 970 bc my only limitation was vram

[gusty dawn]

Trust me stick with the 1650 super

The 1080 is a waste of time

The only games you will get massive improvements in are games that already run fine to begin with

[wintry dagger]

my 970 was fine at 1080p 165hz it ran everything I threw at it at high 45fps which is 15fps above playable for the games I play

my sister uses a 1080 for 720p it was a hand-me-down from my dad after he got his m2 pro mac mini

[stone fossil]

I'm not 100% convinced but you do make some good points, with already being on the fence due to the hybrid cooler yeah I think I'll hold off

[hollow pulsar]

Railroaded Windows 11 22H2 on to my machine. Works perfectly. Take that Microsoft.

[stone fossil]

What about a 5700xt instead?

[gusty dawn]

It's fine, but there are revisions that have hardware issues with display outputs cutting out ymmv

[wintry dagger]

if ur gonna upgrade get a 3060 used

[gusty dawn]

6600 used is cheaper?

Last time I checked anyway

[stone fossil]

Neither are available anywhere close to the price of a used 1080 in my area

[wintry dagger]

rlly? when I checked a while ago the 3060 was cheaper but lemme check

[trim robin]

dose your isp offer higher speeds?

[wintry dagger]

a 1080 is literally the same price on ebay

but on ebay a 6600 is 200, a 1080 is 170 for 30 bucks more go for the 6600 its like 1.5x the perf

[trim robin]

how mutch?

[stone fossil]

I'm not talking about ebay lol, talking about a specific deal locally on a hybrid evga 1080. $280 canadian for the card and a 10400f. If I bought it the 1650 super and second 10400f would go into a dell g5000 that I have laying around because I cannibalized it

[gusty dawn]

And at worst it's the same perf in older apis that pascal is good at like dx9

[wintry dagger]

thats literally the same price as a 6600 translated to usd

[stone fossil]

But bundled with a 10400f that would help me offload a prebuilt to pay for it

[wintry dagger]

what cpu do you have rn?

[stone fossil]

10400f that was originally in the prebuilt

[wintry dagger]

a 10400f is way more cpu than you need for a 6600 much less a 1080

[trim robin]

how mutch is the 100mps?

[peak granite]

@silk grove is a transphobic

plz ban admin

[wintry dagger]

which chat?

[wintry dagger]

also if they rlly were you can just ping mods in the chat

you dont need to bring it to a diff chat

[stone fossil]

Not sure what that has to do with anything lol, since when is future proofing a bad idea? As for the gpu you guys have convinced me to wait for something newer like a 6600xt, I'm not desperate to upgrade right now just thought this deal looked really tempting

[wintry dagger]

except its not even a deal

[trim robin]

thats the about price for 200 whare i live what are the odds lol (converted to usd with makes it about 48usd)

[wintry dagger]

I looked on ebay and a msi one is 170 with free shipping

usd ofc

[stone fossil]

And then a 10400f is $150

[trim robin]

i ment to reply to the one about the cost of 100mps

[wintry dagger]

ok so if you want a 1080 get a 1080 on ebay, save 30 bucks, and put it towards ur 10400f

[polar fern]

What keyboard do y’all use?

[wintry dagger]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/225406158363? 150, free 4 day shipping

[wintry dagger]

g512 carbon

dont buy it

[polar fern]

g512? Let’s take a look

[wintry dagger]

its a good keeb dont get me wrong its just overpriced for what it is

[stone fossil]

$20 shipping to Canada but point made, it's definitely less of a deal than I first thought. Might just try to grab the 10400f for like $80

[polar fern]

Huh interesting

[wintry dagger]

yeah I dont go off of marketplace or craigslist for hardware, I always look on ebay bc there are hella good deals there

[limpid hamlet]

Wait so what way should I have my AIO?

[trim robin]

well the 48$ is a bundle (with tv stuff) the price without it wolud be 61$, but it can be chepper with either being 45$(bundle again) or 56.25$

[limpid hamlet]

I'm confused now that I am taking it apart I think I've had it the wrong way

[polar fern]

You’re not supposed to take those apart

[wintry dagger]

?

[wintry dagger]

yeah thats what im saying

also it doesnt matter

[limpid hamlet]

This is how its placed rn

[polar fern]

Looks totally fine

[limpid hamlet]

I'm not taking apart the inside I just unscrewed it that's all

[wintry dagger]

tubes up I'd say, but it would hit ur fan so keep it the way it is

[faint otter]

should i buy this laptop with ryzen 7 5800h (https://www.lenovo.com/gb/edu/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-slim-series/yoga-slim-7-pro-(amd)/82ms00dguk) or this asus zenbook with core i5 1200p(https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1247958?clickPR=plp:43:225)

[polar fern]

No, you’re supposed to have the tubes at the bottom so air bubbles door form at the apex of the curve

[faint otter]

please help me decide

[wintry dagger]

oh I thought it was the opposite

[limpid hamlet]

That's how I had it before and didn't hit my fan but people were saying that creates air bubbles having it up

[wintry dagger]

we have trains that fucking hover but we cant figure out how to make an aio with no air bubbles

[wintry dagger]

tubes down

ur fine, leave it alone

[jaunty compass]

The way the tubes are is somewhat irrelevant, what matters is that the radiator is higher than the block/pump

[polar fern]

That Lenovo link doesn’t work

[limpid hamlet]

It is slightly on top of my rx6800xt should I be considered about the heat on the card at all?

[polar fern]

No

[jaunty compass]

Make sure the pump is not the highest point in the loop

[wintry dagger]

no

[limpid hamlet]

Ok

[trim robin]

isnt best placement of aio(in terms of lifetime) on the top? im prop repembering wong

[jaunty compass]

Please for fucks sake just make sure the pump is not the highest in the loop, because if air bubbles get there the pump can die over time

[limpid hamlet]

Also I don't have to worry about it up against my glass bc I don't use my glass front panel it's open front

[wintry dagger]

why?

[polar fern]

If there is air, you want it to be at the very top of the radiator with the hoses at the bottom that way at least you have flow going through. Jjust put the pump slightly lower than the top of the radiator if not lower

If you’re mounting the radiator horizontally, then the pump should be obviously below

[jaunty compass]

i have my aio mounted to the top of the inside of my case

[trim robin]

tbf it prop mostly due to tolerance, haveing some mass production product 100% perfectly filled will be very very hard, plus they leek over time anyways so tehres that

[jaunty compass]

The way I have my aio is the best way to mount an aio when it comes to longevity, so idk how that would happen

[limpid hamlet]

It's improved my Temps by like 15%

[jaunty compass]

It's almost like putting a piece of glass in front of your fans makes it harder for air to get to them

Take notes case manufacturers
Putting things in front of fans makes it harder for air to get through

[faint otter]

should i buy this laptop with ryzen 7 5800h (https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-slim-series/yoga-slim-7-pro-(amd)/82ms00dguk) or this asus zenbook with core i5 1200p(https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1247958?clickPR=plp:43:225)

[jaunty compass]

Idk why so many cases have super thin slots for airflow on the front of cases it's stupid

[faint otter]

[polar fern]

Hmm

Well, the integrated graphics is going to be better on the ryzen

[faint otter]

there is also a 16 inch but it runs a ryzen 5 5600h but does have a 3050

for the same price, i however fear that 16 inch is too big? to carry around maybe

[polar fern]

Intel integrated graphics is famously not great. In fact, some software titles will advise you to avoid it.

I wouldn’t bother with a mobile 3050

It is going to be very loud and hot

For 90% of stuff, the AMD integrated graphics is totally fine

Plus you get actual battery life

Most of those laptops with the mobile 3050 have like an hour or two at most battery life when using it for gaming

[faint otter]

ok, so which laptop out of these two would you say is better for computer science in uni

[polar fern]

Definitely lenovo especially since they have exceptionally good customer support

[stone fossil]

Other thing is you have to watch out for the tdp because theres actually a couple different variants all just sold as 3050 mobile

[polar fern]

The Argos looks okay other than the Intel graphics, and I don’t personally know anything about their customer support, but I have heard some bad things

Yes

Honestly, most laptops should just use the on-board graphics. It’s simpler in terms of thermals and it’s better in terms of power consumption.

[trim robin]

This is actually a bad thing to have in one

[polar fern]

What if I wanted to be really quiet?

[faint otter]

which one has a better cpu

[polar fern]

😉

[graceful burrow]

You could never be tbh

[faint otter]

other than graphics, cause i heard the zenbook is loud but im not sure if it is?

some people say it is some dont

[polar fern]

In general, the AMD, mobile processors are typically better

[trim robin]

Quiter pump, and or lower power

[polar fern]

No, I’m talking about air only

[trim robin]

And unless there's a good bit of air the heatsink should be very quiet

[polar fern]

Have it just be like a giant bunch of aluminium straws welded together

Like the coffee stirring straw type things

[faint otter]

do you think ddr5 is better tho?

[polar fern]

Virtual mail system?

[sonic spruce]

Virtual machine system

[faint otter]

and higher refresh rate and resoulton?

[graceful burrow]

The mods prefer if you just @ Mod the role

[trim robin]

Laminar flow needs more then just that

[polar fern]

The Intel integrated graphics makes it something that’s not really worth it

In fact, it might actually be better with less screen to drive

[full fossil]

@graceful burrow

[faint otter]

how do i know which one is quiter

[graceful burrow]

@full fossil

[polar fern]

You’re saying that it has higher resolution. Well that’s not necessarily a good thing. If you have a graphics processor, that is a little bit weaker it should have a lower resolution to drive or lower refresh rate.

Yeah you seem like you can't handle a challenge

adventure open world games are my favorite bc theres always stuff to do even after you've beaten the game

rdr2 and botw are prime examples of that

idk Ive only played for 2 hours so far bc I was waiting for my friend to play it to see if it was as good as horizon zero dawn

and he said its amazing so im playing it

im hoping in tears of the kingdom you can pet dogs because you cant pet dogs in breath of the wild, you can only feed them

You cannot put a price on good health, however good health can cost money.

[hardy crater]

i lvoe lttGB

fORTNI

[fossil frost]

but it shouldnt, and its a sad place that we live that it does

[hardy crater]

sombody give me a good $30 graphics card

[polar fern]

Well, ultimately, in a currency-based economy, something will have to cost money via the lease for the medical office or the clothing that people wear in the practice or such

[placid mauve]

The cost of equipment and materials to maintain your health has to come from somewhere, it can’t be done for free

[polar fern]

It can be done at no cost to the patient, but having to be no cost for the provider is very challenging from both a social and political aspect

[placid mauve]

You may want to increase your price range of you want to get a decent card

[polar fern]

But we aren’t supposed to talk about politics here, so I’m not gonna do that

[fossil frost]

there are different ways of doing it... different models... and "free" usually means its paid for by the state and regulated in a way where 4-5 large companies cannot price fix and price gouge

[eager venture]

Ye “no” cost means just means increased taxes

[polar fern]

No, that’s not necessarily what it means either

[eager venture]

Sure it’s “free” to drive on the streets but to enable that u pay taxes to keep the roads in working condition

[placid mauve]

Where would the state get the money, tax dollars, so in a way you are paying for your medical expenses and everyone else’s no matter what

[eager venture]

That’s why I believe we should tax big corporations that make profit

[polar fern]

Driving on the road and getting a vaccine to use two pretty easy to understand examples are definitely not the same.

[fossil frost]

but with the inherent criminality in insurance, you end up paying far more that way

[polar fern]

Medical insurance is where things go wrong.

[trim robin]

yes but this dosnt mean it cant be paid for, taxes are one way to do it. but becuse there privet hospitables they can charge 10000s of dollers

[placid mauve]

The whole point in insurance is not to maintain health, but to be there in case of emergency, it’s the same idea with car insurance, is not if you get in an accident, it’s when

[polar fern]

at some point you’re going to get sick or injured or need a general state of what the fuck is going on with your body - that I don’t think should cost money to the patient in an “insurance” scheme.

Having insurance on something that definitely will need some type of attention is definitely some level of scam

[fossil frost]

health isnt an accident... you dont get cancer by accident, you dont have babies by accident... you dont get shot by accident... you dont get parkinsons by accident... you dont get viral infections by accident...

[hearty tendon]

But you do, the whole theory behind cancer is an excessive rehealing of cells

[polar fern]

Right. the biological realities of life are not wholly preventable

[trim robin]

yes but its a lot cheeper especially if done right. in the US if you simplely cut some (very very small amout) of funding for militry you can easaly use it for stuff like helthcare

[fossil frost]

its not an accident, its an inherent risk in being a multi celled organism, its a "design" flaw

[hearty tendon]

very small amount? you mean half of it. the pentagon hasn't been audited for years, last year they weren't able to account for almost a billion

[placid mauve]

As if the citizens here want less military spending

[trim robin]

well i mean yea you can get a most of these by accident

[polar fern]

Someone can live their entire life with a car and pay car insurance and never have to use it once & another person could have a car for a year on the 16th birthday to 17th birthday and demolish a house and such. That is where insurance is important because an individual has no way of funding repairs for such things directly

[trim robin]

well id like for it to be a lot less but im simpaly saying that they are geting so mutch that even a small cut can be used for healthcare

[hearty tendon]

It's never passed an audit now looking at it. And they've never been held accountable for it

[placid mauve]

I was saying that insurance is supposed to be for emergencies not a wallet

[hearty tendon]

That won't ever happen aslong as countries keep discovering oil and begging for "Freedom 🦅🇺🇸"

[trim robin]

well a good bit do but its polictions and big oil that do anything thay can to make it so it dosnt happen, same thing happens with puplic transport

[polar fern]

Mastadon is so good. Cannot believe I was using the rat site this whole time unawares

[fossil frost]

not at all, it develops cancerous cells at the exact same rate as any other animal... but... because its so large, and has so many cells, it hardly ever gets to the point where those cells form tumours

[hearty tendon]

I mean just look at this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures, the US has more spending than the next 10 countries combined, and 9 or now 8 of them they're allies with. And they keep on upping the budget on the pentagon that hasn't passed an audit since it's inception

[placid mauve]

You can get cancer accidentally, such as radiation poisoning

[hearty tendon]

EXCATLY

[fossil frost]

fine.. ok.. im just gonna say that its late and i cant be arsed bothering with pedantic arseholes who think that they "won" because you can get some stuff "by accident" and they are too stupid to realise that the medical insurance they are defending is essentially a cartel designed to keep them poor

[hearty tendon]

Nasa has to go wayyy out of it's way to provide documentation on where money will be spent yet the pentagon can fail audits in a row for eternity and get a pat on the back as a job well done

[manic torrent]

Everyone I know who is boycotting it is boycotting it because JK Rowling is a total C U Next Tuesday.

hey

[manic torrent]

... or because the fundamental premise of the game is racist, and it supports bigotry? (And it's apparently also shit)

[real sail]

how is it racist?

[hearty tendon]

That's not my issue, it's the fact that the pentagon has never passed an audit, yet their budget keeps on getting upped. 800mil went missing, and can't be audited for, with genuine proof from 2018.

Blood libel: the game.

Don't worry, it's only racist if you apply a tiny level of reflection.

JKR is a terf and I will never give her a cent of my money.

star wars is owned by a company founded by an anti semite who had some very dodgy (german) friends in the 1940s. people still like star wars...

And if he was still alive, I would boycott anything he did.

[placid mauve]

I said it as a guess, I don’t actually know, I personally like to keep up with space exploration, technological advancement, and science related to those two things

[manic torrent]

Bigotry is not homophobic, bigotry is bigotry.

[fossil frost]

people boycot things for a lot less than that... but starwars is a cult... and no matter what... if satan himself owned disney... people would still find an excuse to defend it... because its star wars... which isnt actually good... it was just the first of its kind

[formal dew]

Lord of the Rings > Star Wars.

fanta (the drink) aslo had some...prety bad things and orgrens

[fossil frost]

for a basic summary... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien_and_race but, there are BOOKS written about how racist LOTR is

[fossil frost]

LOTR and the Hobbit isnt long dead... in fact... its being remade again right now... and people are happy about it

[formal dew]

I love when people online try to school me on the work of Tolkien.

[manic torrent]

..... The author

[formal dew]

And they are all wrong. I have read everything Tolkien has ever written. It was not racist.

[fossil frost]

so if JKR died tomorrow... hogwarts legacy would stop getting the hate it gets because of her? i doubt it

[formal dew]

There are racist in his books. Such as the Elves, they are racist.

[fossil frost]

its the fun thing to hate right now

[hollow root]

what the hell is this chat

[fossil frost]

and that percentage isnt much different if you change the year to 2023

[manic torrent]

The game is apparently also quite bad. And again, the premise is racist as well. It's amazingly tone deaf

[trim robin]

some still are they just lurned that being accpeting is now more posfitable

[formal dew]

I want somewhere where you can point to something Tolkien wrote and say "That's racist" but people can't do it. They have to try to twist and change and look for meaning that is not there. Because he never said anything racist.

[manic torrent]

... which is functionally the same as not being a bigot though

.... Paradox of tolerance, derp

[fossil frost]

"It is a mark of evil things that came in the Great Darkness that they cannot abide the Sun; but Saruman's Orcs can endure it, even if they hate it. I wonder what he has done? Are they Men he has ruined, or has he blended the races of Orcs and Men? That would be a black evil!"... mixing race is "black evil"

[trim robin]

well kinda but its not like there actauly doing mutch just useing it to get more moeny. you can even see this durning something like pride mouth where in places its not accepted they just stay the same

[formal dew]

Ummmm..... Orcs are not a race....

Orcs are a corruption.

[fossil frost]

ok then, neither are men, since men are a corruption of elves, as are orcs

[dusty rune]

not me
its at 3am for me and i wont stay up that late

[fossil frost]

the orcs are depicted, described, and known for being "black" and are slaved to "white" characters, in the books and the movies... the books reference "black vs white" as "good vs evil" many many times

[dusty rune]

true

[trim robin]

i hope i can catch it live but it starts when i have to feed my dogs and affter that im prop going to have to eat (tho depends) so who knowns

[fossil frost]

each of the races within middle earth tend not to mix with the other races. most in fact, tend to make sure they stay away from each other

[formal dew]

Men are not corruptions of Elves. It's in The Silmarillion. They where created Ilúvatar same as the Elves.

Saying it is racist to say that mixing humans and orcs is just as racist as it is to say "It is not right for bears and cows to mix"

[trim robin]

if i start now (a bit earrly) i can prop be done in time, but depends when it actauly starts

[fossil frost]

"squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes"... "west (good) vs east (evil)". "north (simple) vs south (sophisticated)"

defend it all you want, thats my point... people will defend things they like, and attack things they dont... and their morals are based on what they like and what they dont like

[formal dew]

I am just saying that what you said makes no sense.

You have to make a MASSIVE leap for that to be racist.

I mean, I’m white, but I don’t care if it has bones in it or not, I eat it if it’s tasty

[dusty rune]

racism against white people is slowly becoming mainstream and normal

[wintry dagger]

somehow using the word fat but with a g instead of a t isnt homophobic but somehow eating a chicken wing is racist

[placid mauve]

Has been for a while, I’ve been on the receiving end of it multiple times

[wintry dagger]

literally though its fucked up bc ppl can literally hate speech against whites and nobody cares but the second the white person fights back they're called out and being called a racist, its funny

[wintry dagger]

theres a reason I dont go to in person school lmao and its for that reason

[placid mauve]

Soup, but milk is fine if it’s in a glass instead of a bowl

wouldnt call it funny but i get what you mean

like their logic is funny

not the situation, but the persons logic

[dusty rune]

oh yeah thats for sure

[placid mauve]

It’s one of the reasons why I don’t attend college anymore

[fossil frost]

because the hate has come from white people for so long, literally anything that anybody does with any skin colour other than white, can be traced back as retaliation to something a white person did... whites have ruled the world and tortured people with other skin colours for quite some time now... and now the needle is swinging SLIGHTLY back in the other direction... people are dropping their monocle about it

[trim robin]

Also gose for bullying as well bully can do anything and Noone cares but the second the victim hits back they fell sorry for the bully and try and stop them

no, it shouldnt, but the cultural hate is pretty hard to shake, the language we still use today which came from those times, is hard to shake.. how people think, in ways they dont realise is racist, but it is... is hard to shake

[indigo plume]

fk it im install windows 11

[winter spindle]

Yessir

[wintry dagger]

this is one of the downsides of free speech bc anybody can say whatever the fuck they want and get zero repercussions for it

[winter spindle]

That’s just false

[wintry dagger]

why isnt racism illegal at this point, trains can fucking levitate but somehow we cant fix racism

[fossil frost]

free speech isnt that... free speech is that you are ALLOWED to say whatever you want... not that you are free from repercussions for it.. i am free to say whatever i want... but... i can still get in trouble for it...

[manic torrent]

It is based off the BMI which is basically garbage

[indigo plume]

depends on ur height

[dusty rune]

isnt it based on the bodyfat %?

[fossil frost]

different in different cultures, somebody who is "slim" in america, might be considered "overweight" in japan

[manic torrent]

I mean... It's basically correct...

[dusty rune]

some bodybuilders go to 250 pounds but i wouldnt call them overweight

[manic torrent]

I am not saying it isn't. I'm saying the game is rigged.

[wintry dagger]

im literally average weight from all of the ppl ive seen that are my age and somehow im in the 98th percentile

[dusty rune]

whats ur height

[manic torrent]

Nope

[placid mauve]

They say the healthy weight for an adult male at a hight of 5’10” is 180 pounds

[indigo plume]

bmi dont take in account for muscle

[hollow pulsar]

Not even close. It's just racism in disguise. Decisions/retaliation based on $race is racism. If you have to judge based on skin color, it's racism.

[wintry dagger]

why?

There's no other factors

[indigo plume]

when u make somthing so easily accessible ppl are gunn over use it

[wintry dagger]

no???? thats not it at all?? you do realize that alot of fat ppl are only fat bc of the way their body processes foods?

[manic torrent]

... and the food that is available to them and they can afford and 100 other things

[indigo plume]

like jsut look at portion sizes in america

[placid mauve]

True, some people metabolize food at slower rates than others

[indigo plume]

not everyone has the self control to diet

[wintry dagger]

in the us healthy food is 2x the price so theres zero incentive to go healthy anyways, I dont eat healthy foods but I also exercise alot, theres a balance you need to find

[fossil frost]

my ex-wife is quite over weight, she doesnt eat much, she runs marathons for fun, shes had test after test after test... and its been determined that her thyroids (i think) are very over active and cause her to store most of what she eats rather than use it... she has an extremely low metabolism... based on hight vs weight alone... she would have been considered morbidly obese just 2 years ago.... when she ran a 4 hour marathon....

[weak bridge]

not usually, maybe in big cities n stuff

[wintry dagger]

its like 1.5x the price im exaggerating

[fossil frost]

"fat" isnt just "over eating" at all... "fat" CAN be over eating... but it can be medical too...

[placid mauve]

So you are saying to create a custom diet based off of the speed of your metabolism, that pretty hard to do, and you would have to do that for every single person

[weak bridge]

vegetables cost less than dirt, just re-prioritize meat

[wintry dagger]

shit you have a wife and ur grown??? I thought you were like 14, thats insanely sad

[indigo plume]

this convo is boring

[placid mauve]

Ok so your diet is slightly above average

[fossil frost]

my ex-wife has a similar requirement... but... she still stores much of it, she doesnt lose anything by having less than that, her body just triggers starvation mode and stores EVERYTHING

[indigo plume]

I won't go so far as to say that MKWii is the "best" MK game, simply because that sort of labeling comes down to personal preferences. However, it's easily the most mechanically advanced Mario Kart game.

[pale warren]

[dreamy rose]

nah. the only cake ideas i'd give them is a Worm from Worms

[winter spindle]

I ate a toolbox cake once

It was good despite all that fondant

[manic torrent]

My wife made a candy mountain cake from Charlie the unicorn

[wintry dagger]

fondant looks good, tastes like ass

[molten shuttle]

[gloomy frigate]

im wondering how to get more fps on gta 5

game just refuse to run any faster

[ashen zodiac]

what spec you got and how much fps?

[gloomy frigate]

4090 on 13600

im only getting 150fps

[ashen zodiac]

i mean, GTA is pretty old, 150 might just be the limit on such an old engine

it likely isn't using most of your cores etc

[gloomy frigate]

true but ive seen people get like 500fps

and theres a bug u can do some chesesy stuff with higher frames

[ashen zodiac]

idk i don't play it

@gloomy frigate how high is your displays refresh rate?

[gloomy frigate]

144

[sonic barn]

the default minecraft guy right /s

[ashen zodiac]

in that case 150 is plenty. going higher than 144 for you isn't giving you any benefit as that's your displays limit

[uncut citrus]

I accidentally updated to Windows 11

yay

[ashen zodiac]

many people don't know this, there is no point at all to going higher than your display in terms of fps @gloomy frigate

[inner terrace]

I wonder if there is a way to suggest a change to samsungs testers on #0# ... specifically, to add grey to it the colors for testing for bulging batteries

[ashen zodiac]

11 has actually been good to me, much better than 10

[sonic barn]

yes

[gloomy frigate]

11 is fine but ugly

[sonic barn]

I still want qt apps to run in dark mode

[ashen zodiac]

skill issue, just get a nice wallpaper and stuff ant it looks nice

[sonic barn]

its only 1 small thing

[inner terrace]

Side note, I am completely stupid. Why did I forget to throw my old charger away even after my old note20 and switch lite got its battery bulging?

[sonic barn]

change default qt to dark

[trim robin]

why would you?

[gloomy frigate]

yeah why would u

a charger is a charger

[inner terrace]

Because both of them got battery bulges before...at the same time too..And now my "newer" note20 has the same issue. Why did it take 3 battery bulges for me to realize its likely my charger?

[trim robin]

a chager is lielery just some copper

how long dose it take for these bulges?

[gloomy frigate]

its more likely that note20 batrey just has terrible specs

[trim robin]

phones are the ones that requlate the chargeing

[inner terrace]

my sister's hasnt gotten it, and we have the same phone

[ashen zodiac]

theoretically the device manages the rate at which it charges. if the charger is overvolting the device it should either stop charging or blow the usb port on the device, not end the battery...

[trim robin]

and the charger would not be the cause anyway the source wolud

[inner terrace]

So, do you think I'm just really unlucky? that all three devices got it?

[ashen zodiac]

i've had bad chargers confuse my phone where it just constantly switches between slow and rapid charging and then gives up, but eh

[ashen zodiac]

i mean, samsung is not exactly known for having great batteries. remember the note 7?

[trim robin]

how far apart?

[inner terrace]

the switch and original note, I noticed at the same time. I dont remember when I got my replacement note though

[inner terrace]

about 1 year ago

(i had a post on reddit about it)

[polar fern]

@ashen zodiac you mean the pocket fireworks display?

[ashen zodiac]

yea the note that just used to explode

[trim robin]

do you know how long it took from when you got till it happned tho?

[ashen zodiac]

i've never owned a samsung phone anyways, their android skins are so crappy

[gloomy frigate]

i think theres alot of reports back fore note 20 exploding

[ashen zodiac]

i have a Nokia, they just ship stock android

stock android is the best android

[inner terrace]

No. Lets just say 1.5 years on average since its been about 3 yrs aince the note20 came out

[inner terrace]

Seriously? note 20s are have been exploding?

[gloomy frigate]

i think its either note 10 or note 20 or both

[ashen zodiac]

i googled it and found this https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-note-20-ultra/1011402-note-20-ultra-melted-exploded-video.html

[inner terrace]

Its official, I need to make an app to help people check for signs of a battery bulge -.- All it would do it show an example of the discoloration and then include a grey screne..just a plane grey screen so ypu can spot it

[graceful burrow]

Website would be easier and cheaper

[ashen zodiac]

that would take me 5 minutes to make in javascript lol

it's like 5 lines of code that just switches the website to grey when tapping a button

[inner terrace]

How much does it cost to host it though?

[static stag]

Objectively not true 🤣

[graceful burrow]

Depends on who or what you use to host

You can get servers to host a small website for about 5 buckaroos

A month

[ashen zodiac]

how so? any functionality you want you can just do with apps, why do you need all the crap that manufacturers like samsung preload?

[graceful burrow]

Or get an old Dell/hp office pc and host it yourself on your own internet for free a month (aside from domain name

[ashen zodiac]

a few insert your currency per month or you can set up your own web server if you feel like messing around with things

[static stag]

You actually can't though. Just look at how Google is limiting features/permissions.

[ashen zodiac]

name me a feature that is not possible to just sideload

[graceful burrow]

It's really easy to host a webserver

[ashen zodiac]

like, a feature that i would leave stock android for

[trim robin]

laptop will be cheeper

[static stag]

Don't know, I'm not you

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't matter in the end
Cheap is cheap and hosting a small website is dog easy

[trim robin]

rooting and no bloatware at all

[ashen zodiac]

laptops aren't designed for 24/7 load

[ashen zodiac]

huh?

[ashen zodiac]

can you name a useful feature that stock android does not have but a samsung or whatever does?

you said i was objectively wrong, should be easy to prove then

[trim robin]

a webserver with a site that has 5 lines of code is far from any modert laod

[ashen zodiac]

that's true but the system would still be on 24/7

[inner terrace]

my thing is, do I really want to spend that money for such a simple web site?

[trim robin]

rooting, this alows you to accese deeper parts of the system, samsung phones dont allow this, nor do a lot of phones from carriers. they and the samsung add a lot of uneeded apps(bloatware) they will aslo slow the phone over time makeing it harder to use

[inner terrace]

Maybe I can ask LTT to do it?

[ashen zodiac]

i'm aware that's my entire argument. my "huh" was because of that, i've been arguing against custom android this entire time

[inner terrace]

oh! FixIt

they might like to do it

[ashen zodiac]

idk, do you?

[lament willow]

Github pages?

[trim robin]

ive used a laptop as a nas for some time without isuses a simple linux server runing something like apche2 will barly put any load on any part, hell so mutch less you can prop run it even without fans or when they die(this is the main thing that could happen)

[trim robin]

^

[inner terrace]

Technically, A blank discord server with night mode on works great

its how I notice it

[ashen zodiac]

@inner terrace it's literally just a div that covers the entire site in grey, and then document.getElementById("demo").classlist.toggle("grey"); assuming you have it css'd as display none and you add a grey css class to display block it and make the color grey

[green kernel]

i had macbook air 2011 running as server for 30 days
average temperature 55° cpu
average fan speed:2000
power consumption: 10w

[ashen zodiac]

if you're curious, the hex of that color is 36393f so if you wanna use it on a site or smth that's what it is

[inner terrace]

thanks!

[ashen zodiac]

idk how experienced you are in html and javascript but it should be insanely simple to make

[inner terrace]

Maybe I could just make a simple youtube video? free...and everyone has youtube anyway

[ashen zodiac]

literally 4 lines of css and 3 lines of javascript

[static stag]

Unless something's changed Multiwindow/floating apps is done way better. I personally use the edge panel and s-pen, secure folder is great. Dunno there's probably more stuff if I had a stock android device in front of me to compare.

Realistically, Pixel phones aren't even stock android and basically use their secret camera sauce to even compete.

[trim robin]

do you even need to use javascrpit?

[ashen zodiac]

ok couple things:

• who uses floating apps
• pens are stupid
• i'm not talking about pixel at all

[ashen zodiac]

it's easy to toggle a class, literally only needs 1 function

[static stag]

So because you don't use it it's worse. F tier logic.

[inner terrace]

not really. but I can easily learn it. Assuming its no more different then learning c++, python, fortran, & matlab

[static stag]

That's also not objective

[trim robin]

yea but it can be a few lines of simple html for entireas well

[ashen zodiac]

document.getElementById("yourdiv").classlist.toggle("grey");
}```

use a button in html with the onclick thing that executes that function, make sure you have the right classes in css set and there you go

[inner terrace]

still, probably the best thing to do is just a youtube video. Easier to share since people would actually trust a youtube link over some random website

How do i program a uhf radio to communicatr with frs frequencies

[manic torrent]

... "a uhf radio". Good news they are all the same.

[full fossil]

Ok, so then my question is how do i add different frequencies to my walkie talkie

The frequencies on mine right now arent the ones i want to listen to is there any way to change them

Or will i have to use an actual radio

[trim robin]

thats illegal

[full fossil]

In what ways

Why is it illegal

[polar fern]

Wat https://a.co/d/5Dx59Vc

[trim robin]

citciens can only operrate specific frequencies for specific tasks

[full fossil]

Would i have to buy a radio with the frequencies i want to listen to or what

Cus i want to communicate with other walkie talkies

Just dif frequencies

[polar fern]

Frigging $6 mouse actually worth buying

[trim robin]

in that case it might not be but depending on the model it might be embeded into it in a uncgagble way

[full fossil]

If i sent you the walkie talkie i hsve rn could ylu tell me

[polar fern]

@full fossil you need a scanner. M8

[full fossil]

Thats what i thought

Ive had like 2, they’re actually not that bad

[full fossil]

The walkie talkie i have has a scanner, but only filters through the frequencies it has
