I don’t want to start drama but there is a post on r/antiwork about LMG. Is there any statement on whether this is true or fake l.

[pliant leaf]

antiwork is garbage and infested by trolls and bots

LMG is public enough that if something shitty happened it would be revealed very quickly

[manic torrent]

That they don't put the salary on job ads? I mean, it's shit, but at the same time, LTT is very public in a way a lot of jobs are not.

[velvet latch]

It said not discussing wages

Wait fuck, it was rule 34. I think I got baited.

[pliant leaf]

isn't that pretty standard? i assume salary gets discussed in the interview

[pliant leaf]

the fuck

[manic torrent]

Ehhh, often you want a range.

[pliant leaf]

[thin vigil]

The not talking about wages is shitty if enforced but the rest of the shit looks sus to say the least, the guy posting the leaks claims to be a LTT superfan but deleted a thread and comments about an audio recording of a company meeting (I suspect) because the comments were actually positive towards LTT and the response they took.

Looks like a coordinated attack by a disgruntled ex-employee

[velvet latch]

I can understand not discussing wages for such and such project I signed such a NDA for

[thin vigil]

In my opinion talking about your own wages should be fine and encouraged between co-workers, I can see the not sharing wages publicly being a safety and public image thing though.

Yeah

I hate that battery saver turns off on the iPhone when I put it on charging
it really is a device for normies

[golden talon]

i mean

the entire point of battery saver is as a resort when your battery is low

[tawny whale]

OK, this is probably a stupid and naïve question on a few levels, but a few years ago I was about to pull the trigger on building a vod system for a specific genre of video. (One doesn't exist yet. The reasons I've come up with for this don't necessarily make it unprofitable, as dvd/br sales are still pretty strong.) It fell through because my one partner had some life issues. I've had a inkling to try it again, and was wondering if there'd be a way (even if it's paying for an hour of their time) to speak with someone at floatplane about if they "whitelabel" their backend (I think there is need/want for genre-specific filtering and information here) or the challenges they've faced building out their backed in general, among other things? Would the best move be to just try via the "get in touch" as a creator on their site? (It feels like a bait-and-switch on the conversation, which I don't like?) And to clarify, this isn't a make-or-break thing for me, but I think it could be a usful conversation for both of us.

[graceful burrow]

Mucho texto

[summer folio]

My Sony Xperia Mark III, always warns me that battery saving mode may impact the reliability of the Alarm function.

[golden talon]

huh lmao

[summer folio]

#tech-chat-2 Maybe all Android phones does that? 🔋
Get drained!

[golden talon]

odd

[zinc verge]

No it just makes your battery last longer so it doesn't matter if it's fully charged or not

I keep the thing idle for days and it lasts a lot longer if the battery saver is on... but i don't always remember to turn it on after charging.

[summer folio]

I'm personally more annoyed by the fact,
phone forcefully deactivates battery saving mode while charging, but then puts it on again when disconnecting charger

[golden talon]

there’s a widget you can use to keep the battery saving mode on

[zinc verge]

My Samsung doesn't do that

[golden talon]

i must be an iphone normie

[summer folio]

Nice, my Sony does

& you can't choose to not activate it again before disconnecting

[zinc verge]

Maybe i can setup a shortcut to enable battery saver after unplugging the charger
Not sure if the iPhone is this advanced
But samsung routine can do that

[summer folio]

You have to let it re-enable battery saving mode, when disconnecting charger, if it was enabled when starting charging

Battery Saving Mode options is greyed out when/if charging

[summer folio]

New Samsung?

Does Samsung phones allow Wall-Outlet Power yet?

Sony lets you by-pass battery completly if you want, & power the phone straight from the power-plut-outlet.

So it's not charging when plugged into charger, battery doesn't get hot, power straight from wall

[full fossil]

Guys i need a bit of an opinion

[summer folio]

The option to do this is hidden in the Power-Gaming options.

[full fossil]

what

building a vod system for a specific genre of video.
:???:

seriously what?

I have a steam deck so im not crazy after playing portable

Was thinking to buy a switch ONLY for exclusives, but i already played every exclusive older than late 2021 on my switch
However i sold it since i needed money (medical problem)

Now i have money again, was thinking to buy it, BUT do you think its worth buying in 2023? Is it too late considering Switch 2 ?

Just an opinion, what would you do

[tawny whale]

I'm not clear on what's not clear. A genre of video means videos that have a certain shared subject matter.

[full fossil]

yes but can you just say what ur doing

instead of beating around the bush?

are you stremaing hunting videos you jacked from youtube or pirated content to people wholl pay yiou pennies on the dollaR?

[graceful burrow]

Nothing has leaked about a switch 2 we don't even know if they're actively developing it

[dull granite]

IKEA

[full fossil]

Is it unrealistic to say that switch will last another 1 year? Late 2024

[tawny whale]

No, I'd be working with the producers of those videos. Nothing below the table.

[full fossil]

Like till late 2024

[dull granite]

i mean i don't know if nintendo cares anymore

[full fossil]

youtube is free, noone wants ur vod service, sorry

[graceful burrow]

They definitely do not care about their consumers kek

[dull granite]

but doesn't mario oddysey run at 720p 60fps on nintendo switch (handheld mode)?

[graceful burrow]

Ye

[gilded quest]

thought it was 720p30

[dull granite]

nah

[gilded quest]

hmm

[graceful burrow]

No it runs at 60

[dull granite]

but 30fps on 1080p?

[full fossil]

Its not 720p kinda 612p

[dull granite]

or maybe 48fps

[gilded quest]

maybe it wasn't mario

cause I've definitely played games at 30fps in handheld mode

[full fossil]

.

[graceful burrow]

You know what Mario odyssey runs at 60fps on as well?
The steam deck

[gilded quest]

maybe it was Pokemon or ACNH stuck at 30

[full fossil]

Tbh i want a switch just for botw 2 and metroid prime remastered

[tawny whale]

That's fair. I'm not too scared of someone stealing and running with it tbh. If they do well best of luck to them. Mainly I want to take many of the producers of railfanning videos (of which there are many that do it professionally, and many that don't put them on youtube, and those that do don't put their whole catalog.) As I said, even with youtube, DVD/BR sales are still going strong.

[gilded quest]

thats illegal

[full fossil]

Its not

dvd/br isnt vod 🤔

[graceful burrow]

It isn't if you dump the games yourself

[full fossil]

thats just physical media

[gilded quest]

/s

[full fossil]

I did that UwU

[dull granite]

how is playing a game more illegal if you do it on a diffrent console

[tawny whale]

It is not, but if people are still buying physical media, I see that as a sign that a paid vod service isn't doomed from the get-go.

[full fossil]

lllots of physical media currently gives you a digital version

Ugh im itching to buy a switch

[tawny whale]

These do not.

[granite tinsel]

let's be real, nintendo will find an excuse anyway

[dull granite]

CD-Rom enjoyer vs DVD fans

[gilded quest]

steam deck or switch lite

[full fossil]

Why the lite?

[granite tinsel]

i think getting a switch OLED is fine as long as you aren't paying more than MSRP

[full fossil]

But Nintendo doesnt write the law

[granite tinsel]

we haven't actually heard anything about a switch 2 after all

[gilded quest]

the lite is better for handheld than the regular switch

[granite tinsel]

they don't, but that won't stop the SLAPPing

[full fossil]

Isnt it too small?

[gilded quest]

the lite is actually comfortable to use for longer sessions

[tawny whale]

Also, you don't need to be so out-rightly hostile to someone you just met. Why assume I don't know what a Vod is, or are you being purposely obtuse to how sales of physical media could be related to the demand of digital versions? Also, "nobody wants your VoD", by what basis are you saying that except to be abrasive?

I was gonna take it at one point but I never got around to buying the adapters for HDMI

[granite tinsel]

they're cheaper than other consoles but it's a far cry from how they were just a year or two back

[golden talon]

my local thrift shop is selling wii's for $20 each

[granite tinsel]

that's pretty good, assuming they're in decent condition

[abstract crest]

my dsi had a manufacturing defect where in the place of the a button there was another b button

[gilded quest]

I skipped out on 3DS entirely
I need to play Pokemon X/Y at some point

its great considering they come with the remotes and all too

pretty much same, the 2ds/3ds never really interested me

[zinc verge]

S10 lite and i have battery protect on which stops charging at 85%

[granite tinsel]

the PCH-2000 vita fits my hands perfectly but the PCH-1000 is literally only a couple mm thicker yet that's different enough for me to cramp my hands within 20 minutes

[gilded quest]

the steam deck has much more ergonomic controllers than either switch

[gilded quest]

I do not own a Lite anymore

[summer folio]

[golden talon]

then again i very rarely ever use the joycons

[granite tinsel]

which makes the PCH-1000 utterly unusable for me

At all

Literally zero docking abilities

[golden talon]

the FP pro controller is built well but the design choices they made is super weird

[gilded quest]

the buttons feel like mush

[golden talon]

the buttons dont click down all the way, the joysticks have a convex indent on them which is terrible for grip

and the general shape of the controller doesnt feel ergonomic like an Xbox controller or something

[summer folio]

I can choose between 80% & 90% on Sony,
Have to choose 90% if using it at all
4K OLED@120hz Screen, really sucks battery straight away

[golden talon]

its very "shallow" idk if im using the right word here

[granite tinsel]

meanwhile i have friends who think the switch pro controller has the best ergonomics of all the first-party controllers

[gilded quest]

shit*

[granite tinsel]

that's the funny thing about ergonomics

[zinc verge]

4k on a phone is imo stupid

[golden talon]

for $40 less i got a pro controller that fixes all those issues + has mappable macros on the back of the controller

[gilded quest]

Ergonomics are subjective to a degree

[golden talon]

i mean i have average-large hands

[granite tinsel]

i think nintendo did shoot themselves in the foot with one particular aspect of the switch controllers though, which is a lack of analog triggers

that just makes an entire genre of games infeasible on switch

[split fulcrum]

It's easily distinguishable from 1080 if you use your phone, but I'd say 1440p for a phone is the sweetspot. They don't make 1440p phone OLED though I think

[golden talon]

its higher than 1080p but lower than 1440p

[split fulcrum]

1080 and I still see some pixels st times

The aliasing on text really gets to me with my current phone

[granite tinsel]

aren't most flagship phones nowadays some form of 1440p OLED?

[split fulcrum]

My last one was 1440

[zinc verge]

I cant tell the difference from 1080 ultra wide and 1440p tbh on a phone especially when u have a pretty samsung display

[golden talon]

apple got it right, they discovered that 458 ppi is the perfect density to not be able to make out pixels from any distance greater than 2 inches

[zinc verge]

I care most about performance and battery

[split fulcrum]

It's not exactly that but they're not that widely available if I recall correctly

[golden talon]

true

thats why i use iphone

[gilded quest]

most phones are oled

[split fulcrum]

Performance is a facade these days on phones tbh

[split fulcrum]

Yes

[granite tinsel]

iPhone

[zinc verge]

Well i can't afford flagships so it does

[split fulcrum]

Unless you game, there is no need for any SOC over mid range in my opinion

[gilded quest]

Any flagship is going to have more than enough performance for now, and next year, and the year after. The difference is how they feel in 5 years, this is when iPhone's extra headroom really comes into play

[granite tinsel]

phones tend to last longer if they have better SoCs

yeah, exactly

[zinc verge]

My s10 lite costed me 350$
Flagship chip and 4500mA that last two days

[gilded quest]

i'd have more issues with less than 12GB of ram than a mid range SoC

[granite tinsel]

also lemme tell you based on experience with the game studio i work with: the difference is noticeable from the developer side

[split fulcrum]

Flagship Snapdragons have fared pretty well recently, I haven't noticed any slowdown in 3 years, just slight battery degradation

[golden talon]

games like genshin impact have ios-exclusive textures and features

[granite tinsel]

game maker's compiling for android and iOS is dogwater but because iphones are just more powerful they can run our game much better with no optimization

[zinc verge]

Yup 3 years using this phone with sd 855 and still pretty fast.

[gilded quest]

My samsung galaxy tab s7 (SD865) is pretty slow; but I think it has a trash SSD in it which is causing all my performance problems

[split fulcrum]

Oh yes it is for sure, just that I said it's conditional on the fact that I don't game on my phone, ever

[gilded quest]

cause my note10+ (SD855) felt noticeably snappier than the SD865 tablet

[granite tinsel]

as a result even though the head of our studio fucking hates iphones we're probably gonna release on iOS first just because we don't have to put as much effort into it

[split fulcrum]

What game do you work with or is it NDA?

[granite tinsel]

[gilded quest]

Am I allowed to self promote/ ask for help here?

[sonic barn]

of?

[vivid jungle]

whats better? 7000 series amd + ddr5 mem + rtx 3000 OR 5600 + ddr4 mem + rtx 3000

[proven mauve]

Twitch

[heady flicker]

the former

[vivid jungle]

is the difference in performance that much better?

[heady flicker]

in what

[spare narwhal]

How long will the i7 12700f and rtx 3080 last before they can’t play the newest games at 1440p 60fps on ultra settings if anyone knows

[heady flicker]

that is purely speculation

[vivid jungle]

7000 series + ddr5 compared to 5600 + ddr4

[heady flicker]

as long as developers continue making well optimized games, forever

fwiw, I can still play solitaire on my 2010 computer

[spare narwhal]

That’s good then would a ram upgrade from 16gb to 32gb be worth it or should I avoid that

[heady flicker]

32gb is pretty affordable nowadays so I don't see why not

[spare narwhal]

I barely ever hit the limit only in wz 2 sometimes

[heady flicker]

but you don't really need it if you don't use many memory-heavy programs

[spare narwhal]

Thanks the only thing I do apart from gaming is some very light cad/3D modelling but it seems to handle it fine

[heady flicker]

7000 series can be like ryzen 9 7950x3d or whatever, it's pretty vague

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF7Vm4fIxTc if you're comparing the 7600 with the 5600, then you can watch benchmarking videos to see how well they perform in each program

[full fossil]

Hi troll

[gilded quest]

Depends on how much the 1070ti is

For $50 sure

You should try to upgrade the CPU soon tho

[heady flicker]

1070 ti and 4590 should be a good pairing

if you're on budget, a ryzen 5 5600 with a b550 motherboard makes the most sense atm

but if you're looking to get something more fancy, am5 or 13th gen intel is also an option

[dense juniper]

IMO the best truly low budget CPU right now is a R5 3600. That puts you on similar footing to an Xbox Series X's CPU, which is what a lot of games are going to be optimized for these days. (3600 is two fewer cores but higher clock speed, and XSX locks one core to the OS only)

Also leaves you the option of upgrading to a better Ryzen 5000 chip later on.

[heady flicker]

since the ryzen 5 3600 goes for around $100 usd used, it wouldn't be my first choice

unless you can get it for a considerably lower price

[pearl raven]

Well everyone can sell at bol.com could be an error or could be intentional

[last solstice]

ok I have a very simple fix to the neura link problem

so the problem is that we dont know what software is running on our brain right

so what if we force every company that makes software for it to make everything open source

fda regulations

type of style

objections and debates go brr I wana know your opinion

na If you want competition in the space it has to be either everything open or everything closed

also the security can be got via the open source nature of it (cyber security people will be using it so if they will definitely want it to be secure)

(atleast if a dystopian future happens were everyone is using it)

[full fossil]

lmfao

delidded nintendo ds when

[full fossil]

Dielapped DS

[last solstice]

exactly

which is why everything open is the only option

There is no fan inside or?

[last solstice]

open source cant do that ?

[full fossil]

most action he got since his kfc snack an hour ago

[full fossil]

i think theres a smol fan

[full fossil]

dont think so tbh

[last solstice]

yea thats a fine requirement tbh

and open source can do that

[full fossil]

lets take apart one to find out

[full fossil]

do it

[full fossil]

lmao

[dapper salmon]

hmm

[full fossil]

Just watched a vid....havent seen one

[full fossil]

oooo nice

[last solstice]

my whole idea is that if we just set this one rule of make everything about brain chip open source then every company is forced to never do anything malicious with it. you can do what ever you want with the chip just force everything to be open. make closed source illegal

[wind pulsar]

Nah, the DS is a closed system and passively cooled

[manic torrent]

I love the optimism of the youth

[last solstice]

you are saying it wont happen. thats pretty much expected. but is this not a good solution

could someone point me in the right direction for what i need for streaming software and hardware wise? maybe a video or an explanation?

You need gpu, internet connection, and obs studio

i have a very capable machine already and fast internet

[full fossil]

Cyberpunk?

ill look into obs studio

Good xP

would i need anything else? obviously i have a webcam and good mic

we got sherlock holmes over here Lol

thanks tho seriously

ah sheit

that's some fishy fps ''BOOSTER'' (COUNTER)

[jaunty compass]

good for you

[past egret]

ayo same

[void bough]

is it worth to wait for 7900 series refresh? If they will refresh this series

[fluid jacinth]

Meh

If you want one just buy

[tired glade]

People, give me any random word

[past egret]

bitch

[tepid bolt]

Homonyms

[tired glade]

Good choice

[void bough]

you think? I'm sitting rn on 6600XT and I'm thinking about upgrade, idk if it is worth waiting for refresh, 7900xtx has some power consumption problems and refresh should fix these problems, maybe it's driver issue

[jaunty compass]

i'm also using a 6600 xt and unless you plan on gaming at above 1440p, i'd recommend to wait

[tepid bolt]

What's your monitor?

[void bough]

M27Q P

[jaunty compass]

1440p high refresh rate monitor? you should just wait tbh

[void bough]

165Hz

[jaunty compass]

yes, i'm aware

i'm looking at the product page right now

[tepid bolt]

I wouldn't get anything better than a 6800xt

[jaunty compass]

by the time rdna 3 gets a refresh the drivers will be better and a lot of the problems will be solved too, frankly i would just wait

[tepid bolt]

Just wait for 7700xt

[jaunty compass]

i game at 1440p on a high refresh rate monitor and for most games a 6600 xt is fine

just don't try to play at like ultra and you'll get a good gaming experience

[void bough]

well mine runs good too, I just wanna to upgrade my gpu, and like never upgrade my pc ever prob

[jaunty compass]

if it runs well, you probably shouldn't waste money upgrading a single gen

i'd wait until the next gen of cards

[tepid bolt]

Wait for 7700xt and get that

[jaunty compass]

I'd wait until rtx 5000/radeon 8000 series personally

if i were buying a new gpu

[void bough]

and get radeon 8xxx?

or 7xxx

[jaunty compass]

this is in the case where i'm getting a new card

which i wouldn't do anyway

i'd get a last gen high end card or something
so i'd try to snipe a cheap 6900 xt or something

and next gen a 7900 xtx

depending on the launch prices and stock

[tired glade]

What games you play?

[void bough]

depends, I'm planning on playing whole Assassin's Creed series, God Of War, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Cyberpunk

[jaunty compass]

so all things that will run fine (or great) on your current hardware

[tired glade]

High end

[jaunty compass]

honestly i don't think you should upgrade atm

[tired glade]

What was last Assassin's creed?

[jaunty compass]

valhalla?

[void bough]

yeah valhalla

[tired glade]

Oh, that was pretty long time ago

[jaunty compass]

...it's from last year

the game came out like 3 months ago

or
came to steam 3 months ago

when was the initial release date, i don't play assassin's creed

okay it came out in 2020

I just don't pay attention to this series in the slightest

💀

what the fuck am I looking at

[void bough]

some valhallas

[jaunty compass]

what does the complete edition come with that makes it worth that much money
that's absurd

[void bough]

prob every cosmetic dlc

[jaunty compass]

this is an absolute joke 💀

[void bough]

yeah it is lol

[jaunty compass]

all of this means I will never buy this game

denuvo, 3rd party account, and a separate eula?

fuck off
that's all i have to say honestly, fuck you ubisoft

[void bough]

https://tenor.com/view/johnny-depp-pirate-pirate-salute-salute-intergalactic-pirates-of-the-caribbean-gif-25016099

just get ekhem ''free version''

[jaunty compass]

I don't even like assassin's creed or want to play the game

but games that have additional drm that restricts how I can play games I spend money on are infuriating and an automatic do not buy

even steam drm is frustrating but at least I get more than I lose with steam

like, I can play the games I buy on steam easily on my deck

and i get easy mods for games with workshop, so it's not that bad

but denuvo gives me nothing and makes by games less functional

[graceful burrow]

Denuvo is cringe

[jaunty compass]

honestly, if i had known this game had denuvo when i bought it, I wouldn't have bought it

and this is deus ex mankind divided, a game I love

[manic torrent]

My 3080ti plays everything 4k ultra, more or less. zero reason to upgrade

[graceful burrow]

Apparently hogwarts legacy is cracked rn, empress is testing it rn

[jaunty compass]

Yeah, I heard at like

twelve hours ago

[manic torrent]

Fortunately it sucks ass, so eh

but you can at least add guns to it

[jaunty compass]

the reviews on hogwarts legacy are pretty decent

but game journalists have no taste so

[graceful burrow]

I just think it's funny
I also believe it's the quickest crack turnaround for denuvo ever

[jaunty compass]

it's not

[graceful burrow]

What beats jt

[jaunty compass]

elden ring was cracked day 1

[graceful burrow]

Elden ring doesn't use denuvo

[jaunty compass]

elden ring had denuvo, that's why i didn't buy it

[graceful burrow]

I don't think it does

It uses eac

[jaunty compass]

EAC is not the same as denuvo

[graceful burrow]

I know

[jaunty compass]

EAC is an anticheat
denuvo is an anti-tamper

[graceful burrow]

I am fully aware

[jaunty compass]

elden ring has both

[graceful burrow]

I do not believe that to be true

[jaunty compass]

crackwatch seems to disagree

[neon mesa]

Games still keep putting denuvo that still end up on torrent anyway

They never learn

[graceful burrow]

I cannot find a single article saying it has denuvo
And I've found several that say it dont

So unless you can back up your claim

[manic torrent]

^^ same

[jaunty compass]

I'm looking at the crackwatch website rn and they claim it has denuvo but maybe that's wrong

[fossil frost]

the point is to prevent pirating in those first few days or weeks where they make most of their money, not to stop it all together, because they know they cant do that

[graceful burrow]

It's definitely wrong

[manic torrent]

yep. Exactly.

[graceful burrow]

It only has eac (and steam drm but that's a given and not real protection)

[jaunty compass]

EAC is cringe lol

[graceful burrow]

I'll take eac over denuvo

Any day

any day

[manic torrent]

I generally don't play multiplayer much

[jaunty compass]

kernel level anticheat is cringe

[manic torrent]

because other people are the WORST

[jaunty compass]

I Don't play games with kernel level anticheat

or games with invasive drm solutions

[manic torrent]

So you play games with cheaters

[jaunty compass]

Kernel level anticheats don't fucking work anyway

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't say denuvo to me, all the other games do

[jaunty compass]

you're going to play with cheaters either way; I'm not going to also install what's basically a rootkit

[manic torrent]

uhh

[jaunty compass]

idk why crackwatch says it uses denuvo then
they must be wrong about it

[manic torrent]

I said something about quake, looks like I got warshipped but no message. Meh.

[graceful burrow]

Quake rules

[manic torrent]

e1m.. 9? 8? the one with lava, always lagged out, then GRENADES EVERYWHERE

[jaunty compass]

but yeah
games with kernel level anticheat, i don't buy

[graceful burrow]

Have you played the recent remaster machine games did?

It's fucking pristine
So good

[manic torrent]

back in the day when people played game to have FUN

[manic torrent]

ooooh

[jaunty compass]

because historically kernel level anti-piracy solutions have been used as attack vectors by hackers, and I have no doubt in my mind that if and when a vulnerability is found in an anticheat that allows it to be targeted to get system access; that that will be exploited too

I'd rather not take pointless risks for a type of game that I don't even really like that much

[manic torrent]

oh, I mean basically you're fucked either way

[jaunty compass]

i.e.
competitive multiplayer games

[manic torrent]

forza horizon is hilarious, like you look at records for jumps and the top will be 45385835m - and then all the real ones top out at like 6-800m

and they did it in like... a truck

Although my favourite thing is watching xbox people race, and the out of control insane movements they do.

keyboard >>>> controller even for freaking racing games

[jaunty compass]

I'm just frustrated at how many anticonsumer practices have just been normalized when it comes to the gaming space, it's crazy

[manic torrent]

steering wheel takes too much room 😦 - although I have HOTAS, but realistically you can't play MSFS with kb/mouse unless there's something very wrong with you

[jaunty compass]

and this new $70 pricepoint for rushed poorly made games is really frustrating

then they shove tons of microtransactions and "digital deluxe editions" of the game to milk more money when all you get extra is some cosmetics and maybe a pdf of some art

and the games are still completely unfinished or run at like 10 fps

on a 3090 or something

[frank fog]

would i get more performance out of a 3080 underclocked to like 180w of power draw, or shoild i just buy a 3060?

[void bough]

get 6600 instead if u consider 3060

[neon mesa]

perfect timing

i got access to bingGPT right on my exam lmao

any idea how can i get microsoft 365 for free

[jaunty compass]

just use libreoffice tbh

umm yea so far it does well

[full fossil]

does it has

[neon mesa]

it's improved chatGPT with internet access

[full fossil]

microsoft word or microsoft excel and other microsoft

[neon mesa]

even if i don't trust it i can always open up the source it cited

[jaunty compass]

libreoffice is an open source alternative for basically the entire microsoft office suite

[unkempt widget]

wdym you can't play flight sim on kbm

[full fossil]

so it do have microsoft apps

[jaunty compass]

No, but it's a free alternative with basically all of the same features

[full fossil]

bruh i need microsoft word

[jaunty compass]

no you don't lmao

[neon mesa]

the only bad thing on bingGPT rn is the lack of conversation history and how short each conversation can be

[jaunty compass]

bro it's a fucking word processor
just use libreoffice

[neon mesa]

chatGPT can hold a conversation a lot longer

[fossil frost]

libreoffice opens and saves ms word files, and works exactly the same way... if you still feel like you NEED ms word... go and buy it

[jaunty compass]

^this

[neon mesa]

or crack ms word

i rather pirate office than use libreoffice ngl

btw here's my take:
Google Docs>Word
Google Spreadsheets>Excel
Powerpoint>Google slides

[neon mesa]

except you need to read the rule

[unkempt widget]

that's not against the rules

[neon mesa]

broad discussion of piracy is okay, detailed how to isn't

i have read the rules 10 times over

[unkempt widget]

btw Google Drive>OneDrive and you can't convince me otherwise

[jaunty compass]

word and excel files work in libreoffice
I got it because my college courses "needed" word

But not a single teacher has noticed a single difference in my documents whatsoever

[fossil frost]

google drive is better in a few ways.. 1. you CHOOSE to install it... 2. if you remove it.. it STFU and leaves you alone

they better be supported

step 1: google "how to replace steamdeck battery"

[indigo plume]

Cuz battery degradation is bound to happen

step 2: Do what it says

[jaunty compass]

you disassemble it, remove the battery, put a new one in, reassemble it?

it's really simple

[manic torrent]

step 3: JFC can't you do anything yourself?

[fossil frost]

you need to put your tongue on the battery terminals to test it.

objectively incorrect

yes that is the ONLY way. You can't POSSIBLY work on your own devices.

nobody even understands how electricity works

it's not hard lmao

[manic torrent]

and neither am I.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I'm more than comfortable taking apart my steam deck kek

[indigo plume]

I broke my pc last time I tried building one

[manic torrent]

so you should never try anything ever again

do you know how many times I've tried things that haven't worked? basically ..... all the time

[jaunty compass]

the steam deck was the easiest disassembly of any portable device i've ever done

[unkempt widget]

i'm the second least coordinated person in the world

[indigo plume]

I just leave it to the ppl who know what they do

[graceful burrow]

I took apart my 1080 to repaste it at the very height of the eth/btc plague
When a 1080 fetched 900 dollars on ebay
Which is
Such an absurd price its wrapped back to being hilarious

[manic torrent]

how do you think people get to know things?

[indigo plume]

If I could I would Tripp on my own shadow

[unkempt widget]

it took me 10 mins to unscrew my aio because i forgot turning clockwise tightens

[graceful burrow]

Ever taken apart a switch?
Fuckin abhorrent, dont

[jaunty compass]

yes, I have

[graceful burrow]

30 billion fragile microscopic ribbon cables

[indigo plume]

Steam deck to expensive to afford to make mistake on

[jaunty compass]

I did it to replace the battery in my launch switch

[graceful burrow]

Based

[jaunty compass]

and i've taken apart a gpd win 2

[manic torrent]

I have decided I don't do phones anymore - they never go back quite the same - or at least, you realise how to do it the second time, which never comes

[jaunty compass]

to replace the battery

[unkempt widget]

where tf are you gonna make a mistake

[manic torrent]

hardly. and you're not going to wreck the whole thing

[jaunty compass]

my grandmother has a gpd win 2 for travel

[indigo plume]

U dont know that

[unkempt widget]

it's literally replacing a fucking battery 💀

[graceful burrow]

Drop a screwdriver onto the exposed pcb'd and it's dun bud

[indigo plume]

Last time I broke cpu when replacing a fan for pc

[jaunty compass]

you literally have to remove 7 screws and one ribbon cable

and remove a little glue

honestly, if you can't do it on the steam deck, cope

[manic torrent]

I am literally building a crane to lift my 25kg+ PC in the air over my desk. I absolutely garauntee you that you are taking FAR LESS risk than I am

[void bough]

ooof, a freakin nightmare

[unkempt widget]

that's a learning experience lmao

[graceful burrow]

Tbf
The steam deck battery is adhesive'd down, you need some isopropyl for it

[indigo plume]

An expensive one

[manic torrent]

I slipped with a screwdriver in my engine bay and there was some spilled E85 and it exploded 😄

[unkempt widget]

yep, but now you know

[jaunty compass]

it's the easiest modern mobile device battery replacement i've ever seen; you literally just have to remove the back and then the adhesive

[indigo plume]

So I just leave it to ppl who know what they are doing now

[void bough]

bruh that's scary lmao

[manic torrent]

nah not really

[jaunty compass]

they even give you a little pull tab for the battery cable

[indigo plume]

Not worth stress

[manic torrent]

little puff, little bit of poop came out, but no issue 🙂

[graceful burrow]

Dropped a screwdriver into an Intel socket once
Bent like 7 pins
Spent the next 5 hours carefully and gingerly bending back each teensy tiny pin
Still works, survived as my main pc for a while and then my nas for even longer

[indigo plume]

Also if it's glued down how am I suppose to remove fucking pry it off

[unkempt widget]

oh god that's why i'll never buy a top end mobo

[manic torrent]

My server has lasted months with coffee poured through it, and I'm only now replacing the motherboard.

[indigo plume]

That sounds sus as hell

[graceful burrow]

With a bit of isopropyl alcohol

[manic torrent]

with a spadger

[graceful burrow]

And a spudger

[jaunty compass]

you use some isopropyl alcohol and a spudger or old gift card/credit card

it's not that hard

[indigo plume]

Using liquid on a electronic sounds sus af

[jaunty compass]

what the hell do you think people clean electronics with?

[manic torrent]

.... you don't understand what IPA is, do you

[graceful burrow]

Isopropyl isn't electrically conductive and it's a solvent

[unkempt widget]

it's not on, what will short out lmao???

[void bough]

dropped a freaking metal plate on a gtx 1060 bcs I was stupid, it created some sparks, still works fine, then accidentally touched a pcb with a wire and still works fine lol

[indigo plume]

Yeah I'll pass on this

[jaunty compass]

isopropyl is a non-conductive solvent that evaporates super quickly

[manic torrent]

to be fair, although it's not on, it is a battery

[indigo plume]

To much shit that could go wrong

[manic torrent]

I set a remote control car on fire

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah fair

[graceful burrow]

2s or 3s

[manic torrent]

6

[graceful burrow]

OOF

[jaunty compass]

so little could go wrong with a deck battery replacement you're ridiculous

💀

[full fossil]

isopropyl will kill you if you drink it

[manic torrent]

oh, it was impressive 😄

[indigo plume]

No I'm not

[unkempt widget]

so scary

[graceful burrow]

Was it at least outside

[jaunty compass]

then don't drink it maybe?

[full fossil]

agreed

[void bough]

I'm still alive

[manic torrent]

lol no

[indigo plume]

I'm not taking risk on something I paid 500 for

[manic torrent]

it was in the garage (back when it was more garagey)

[unkempt widget]

you won't break the whole thing

[jaunty compass]

me who is making a steam deck mod:

no dual stage triggers?

[graceful burrow]

Oof imagine buying the expensive steam deck

[jaunty compass]

I bought the base model and upgraded the ssd lmao

[manic torrent]

Damocles making breakfast

[jaunty compass]

they bought the 256

[unkempt widget]

^^^^ buy a 250gb and buy your own ssd

[graceful burrow]

400 dollar deck + 1tb 2230 nvme costs less than a 256gb deck

[indigo plume]

I didnt know it had expandable storage when I bought it

[jaunty compass]

What?
No. buy the 64 gig

[full fossil]

I know this a server of smart ppl, I just clicked a link and got IP grabbed and they keep booting me off my wifi, Ive done the basic steps already, unplugged my router and plugged it in
I have a few questions

1. What do i do
2. What can they do with my ip

[indigo plume]

But whatever

[unkempt widget]

yeah that's what i meant lmao

i forgot there was a 64gb version

[graceful burrow]

Buddy this is the most pedestrian server you'll ever come across

[full fossil]

imagine buying the poor people steam deck

[full fossil]

Oh my lord

[indigo plume]

I like the screen on the top model

[graceful burrow]

Imagine buying the poor people steam deck and not upgrading it*

[manic torrent]

what is a computer?

[full fossil]

Ive been getting booted of so much

[graceful burrow]

The pcmr server might be worst idk I don't go on it

[still ember]

call ISP to change your ip, or if you got dynamic IP just disconnect router for few minutes and connect again

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's right there in the name

[graceful burrow]

Lol
No screen protectors lmao

[void bough]

with ip? not much actually

[full fossil]

ur ip doesnt do that

[indigo plume]

Don't need screen protector

Just don't drop it

[full fossil]

Idk i keep getting booted and that happpened last time i got ip grbabed

noone ddosing you. youre internet just sucks

[manic torrent]

LOL, which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY more likely than bricking it replacing battery

[graceful burrow]

You could open and replace a part
Just don't mess up

Do you see how you're a hypocrite now

[manic torrent]

post hoc ergo propter hoc

[full fossil]

idk what a dynamic ip is

[void bough]

if you have restarted your wi fi router then ur internet just sucks

[full fossil]

we know

ur not being attacked. ur wifi/internet/isp sucks.

[still ember]

ip that changes

[manic torrent]

I mean, maybe he is, maybe not. Maybe they ALSO suck.

most likely he's simply being trolled

[indigo plume]

Yes cuz taking a device apart is comparable to just taking care of device

[full fossil]

then what can they do with my ip

[indigo plume]

Would you take apart you cell phone

[full fossil]

e

[indigo plume]

Yo replace a part

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[graceful burrow]

Yes I would take apart a phone

[manic torrent]

I have done so, yes.

[indigo plume]

Yeah well I wouldn't

[graceful burrow]

I'm not a scaredy cat

[manic torrent]

I would take apart literally anything

[indigo plume]

I'm not tech savvy

[graceful burrow]

That's apparent

[manic torrent]

ANYTHING

[still ember]

@full fossil nothing more than DDoS

[full fossil]

look fam im not google and i literally get paid to explain this to noobs

go find out on your own

[indigo plume]

Most ppl dont take their devices apart

[graceful burrow]

Take apart a modern dslr

[graceful burrow]

L for them tbh

[full fossil]

unless you want to pay me to explain it to you

[indigo plume]

I'm just an average Joe

[full fossil]

idk what a ddos is

my god

[still ember]

use google

[void bough]

true

[full fossil]

Bro i just got booted

[indigo plume]

I dont take shit apart I don't understand

[full fossil]

i did and it just says to restart router

[jaunty compass]

how do you think you gain an understanding

[jaunty compass]

skill issue, honestly

[still ember]

use google to search what DDoS is...

[indigo plume]

I'll leave it to the ppl who do it for a living

[void bough]

yep that's the solution

[graceful burrow]

That's genuinely zero fun

[full fossil]

I dOnT kNoW wHaT a GoOgLe Is

[still ember]

not every time, depends.

[indigo plume]

I'm not doing it for fun

[manic torrent]

oh, like this?

[jaunty compass]

I started taking electronics apart out of curiosity when I was like six

[void bough]

if you have dynamic ip then it's the best solution for DDoS

[full fossil]

Didnt work bud

[still ember]

you dont know if he have

[graceful burrow]

You're tellin me if your favorite mouse's click switch broke you wouldn't take it apart and solder on a new one?
It's like a 5 minute job
And most of that's waiting for the soldering iron to heat up

[indigo plume]

U think I want to get somthing repaired for fun

[manic torrent]

(I realise that's a lens, but I don't have a pic of the camera apart, and I can't even remember what I did tbh)

[void bough]

then your router might be faulty, your wi fi receiver might be faulty
