because of this exams

[worldly stream]

@heady flicker luck, I just didn't know slowmode was enabled, so I couldn't rapidly correct myself

@twilit river Ignore that, focus on yourself and passing your exam

[twilit river]

hmm

[worldly stream]

Have confidence in yourself to do well and you'll be fine no doubt

[twilit river]

thankzz bro

my dream is to come there

[worldly stream]

I dealt with pressure from parents for my exams too, I didn't do great mainly because I'd just lost my best friend/partner so my mind was elsewhere

[twilit river]

and study there

Where is there?

I'm stuck on a tiny island with a government that's using my folk as a weapon to radicalise people to vote for them xD

bro did you know any other server about tech tips etcc

[worldly stream]

Apparently my (and other trans folks') existence is a HUGE problem to populist folk to the point that we're being used as political ammunication... Instead of just being left to live life as we'd prefer aha

I don't, I'm afraid

Does micro center buy old hardware?

[heady flicker]

no

[ebon otter]

Oh

[twilit river]

oh ok

[heady flicker]

but you can drop off old powerspec power supplies there

[worldly stream]

@twilit river Out of interest why would you want another multi-purpose tech server?

[twilit river]

i want to know more about computers etcc

[worldly stream]

I have LTT, then more specialist discords, like CachyOS, Ultramarine Linux, etc (and Colton's server, of course haha)

@twilit river Maybe have a look for discord servers (and IRC channels) for more specific topics within the tech realm, perhaps?

Might help

did you know bluetooth hubs exist? they are amazing

sometimes

depends on the standard and connection method

this one is epic

[worldly stream]

@vital niche Yep. Unfortunately hearing aids are very particular. i.e. they will ONLY connect to a particular device

[vital niche]

also it has TS/Mic

[rugged bridge]

yea, you wouldnt want someone hijacking your hearing and playing some obnocious music or something

[worldly stream]

i.e. I have GN Resound Links2 hearing aids, I have the Remote Control 2 for general controls, and the PhoneClip+ which allows them to connect to my phone

@rugged bridge Exactly

[vital niche]

They are getting REALLY good for environment sound control

great for disability

[worldly stream]

It looks like a great device, but my hearing aids wouldn't interact with it

[vital niche]

there is this one gadget that is a slightly more complicated earplug for concerts (passive)

you also wouldn't want them to play this segway, to our sponsor!

I know of such devices, but generally they don't have programmable profiles that target very specific frequencies, etc

what if LTT pushed raycons

I'm hoping my next hearing aids have rechargeable batterys... 213 batteries are AWFUL for lifespan

@vital niche Sadly I don't have much choice xD

If anyone made an OP one

I bet it'd be Apple

[worldly stream]

There are some DIY ones, but they aren't that great sadly

[vital niche]

did you lose it in one event or over time?

[worldly stream]

Usually with a single electret mic... Ideally you need several with some programming to filter out background noise, etc

I'd never lost my hearing aids, no

*I've

but no I meant ur hearing

[worldly stream]

Oh, no. I was born with a severe hearing difficulty. My cousin as well. We've seen specialists who can't figure it out

[vital niche]

damn

[worldly stream]

Ear drum scaring isn't enough to explain it, so they think there's a neural issue. My cousin had it worse, she was almost completely deaf (now has cochlear implant hearing aids)

[vital niche]

crazy stuff

I am experiencing some tinnitus on and off

[worldly stream]

Aye. Hearing difficulties can have a plethora of causes 😦

[vital niche]

probably from bumping music and the off chance I forgot to turn it down

[worldly stream]

Ah yeah, tinnitus is awful

[vital niche]

apparently it can be somatic

[pliant karma]

yep had it once in a while. Not fun to say the least when it happens.

Oneplus Buds Z are fairly cheap and good enough for the price

[worldly stream]

@vital niche I didn't know that

[vital niche]

remember when google came out with theirs?

[vital niche]

One common subtype of tinnitus is called somatic tinnitus, or somatosensory tinnitus. This tinnitus is caused by certain movements or pressure to an area of the body and is typically in the

[worldly stream]

That doesn't surprise me tbh

[vital niche]

think like tendon whinging

it's said to be different than hearing bloodrush

[worldly stream]

At the end of the day it's your ear drum vibrating too fast, so I can see such things being a cause

[pliant karma]

oh maybe should've also looked into them but I got galaxy buds 2 for less then 100 so they work decent

But the thing that gets me is the threads that inevitably get created when ppl fail to understand A2DP bandwidth is not the same as mic activity

The solution is to of course only use 2.4Ghz standard stuff with dongles, but then the dongle is eventually lost

[polar steeple]

I mean that was an answer to a question no one asked type of thing lol

I don't know who varies between curved or straight lol it's a pretty easy thing to live with either way

[full fossil]

Curved is a marketing thing only I think

Doesn’t add anything imo and you pay more for it lol

[polar steeple]

Yeah I dunno I've never used a curved monitor

But it's one of those things that you definitely don't need both. One or the other is fine

[runic lagoon]

The theory is optimal view angle.

[polar steeple]

It's also like

From straight on it feels like a flat

Shitty labour practices? What happened?

[wraith sonnet]

What GPU should I put in the spite PC for LTX? Obviously a gt710 is going to start in it but should I put the a770 in or a 6600?

[rugged bridge]

6600

[pliant karma]

6400? if you have that but 6600

[rugged bridge]

is the gpu i got

6600 is pretty good
i've had pretty much no issues with it for the past 6 months

[cyan gate]

6600 fire

[full fossil]

Is there anybody that can help me with a computer question?

[wraith sonnet]

I own the 6600 and the a770 but for the lan itself the 710 is less than ideal

[cyan gate]

for now yes team red when it comes to gaming

[rugged bridge]

dont ask to ask just ask
;)

[cyan gate]

that and nvida gpus are a pain on linux

[wraith sonnet]

I do have integrated graphics in the spite PC so maybe the a770 isn't a bad idea

[pliant karma]

ah i see send pic of update if you got any lol

[cyan gate]

but a used 6600xt might make more sense

It's a OEM only part so it has to come out of a built pc

they must have updated the data set, because until recently it didn't know what a steam deck is

is there any benefit to it

Can't be great to be THC'd all the time, I know I am but I just forced myself to take a t-break because cost

[timid meadow]

Not if you control your intake and learn how it effects you. Its medicine for me, works better then pills ever have. Built a slight tolerance, now just a drag here or there as needed instead of hiding away and smelling like smoke 3x a day

[vital niche]

see, that's where getting consistent strains is good, because Jack Herer and Diesel strains ARE my meds

like for ppl where it just silences the background noise and etc

but the problem there is medical is priced out the ass here, and the availability and qtys are NOT bulk

So if I need a windfall of a strain, I literally have to get an ounce at PER EIGHTH cost

it's fucked

[timid meadow]

I dont react as much to different strains as i do different consumption methods. Since im using it to fix alot of issues it can cause in some people, i use it more to take the edge off the world and let me slow down to handle whatever im dealing with at that moment

Outside of extreme variation in cbd/thc balance. I try to go for the hybrid carts

[vital niche]

my relationship with it was formed in a bad way when my parents had an intervention

treated it like I was doing crack or w/e

[timid meadow]

Definitely not a magic bullet for everyone. I abused it for ages until i learned how much it actually helps, then was forced to mostly stop smoking flower in my apartment

the culture is something as well

but idk how much of that was borne from prohibition era like bars were

[timid meadow]

The culture behind it is fun. Love it. But you gotta find the right group. These kids smoking because its cool get annoying. Find some old heads and have a good sesh

[vital niche]

now you have peddlers offering moonshine-like pure THCa crystal

old heads certainly stay away or use CBD

[timid meadow]

Im not quite an old head, but smoking for a decade now lets me call some of them kids lol

almost like they subbed the baby bottle for a cart

I am trying to find a stock picture online of my new soldering station that I got for Yule

However, long Covid memory issues strike again

Oh ok I found it

Sponge in that picture is dry and compressed. Once you dab moisture onto it it springs back into shape

Sponge, pad and reservoir. Just sit there for storage there, it’s actually a separate piece from the rest of it.

Unfortunately, the battery in there is leaking and the thing does not work any longer due to all of the corrosion

I still have a thing, however it’s still needs the battery removed and a replacement voice board

what would that include?

[polar fern]

You could also get a simple repeater that you plug it in, and it just bounces the signal further along

[graceful burrow]

runs like dogshit

@full fossil

stutters badly

[polar fern]

Well, if you have seen any of the recent videos about Linus’s smart home adventure, you’ll see that some devices that are not supposed to be talking end up spewing a whole bunch of data

[full fossil]

so would i need to connect that to my router through an app’m

??*

[polar fern]

What you do is you find the correct repeater or range extender whatever you want to call it that works with your existing wireless gear and then you simply go through the setup process.

[full fossil]

i would just like a stronger signal that carries more mbps not carry it further

[polar fern]

You could even have multiple range extenders

Yes, the further you are from your router, the slower and less reliable your connection is going to be

A good way to get a solid connection is with a repeater station that you plug in

If you only have a wireless connection to the Internet, and there’s no actual landline? Then there’s nothing you can do

However, there is an option again to use a repeater that you can place in your residence somewhere or outside, even to get better signal & then that will repeat into your residence with the better signal which should be faster

None of this hardware and things will actually give you faster overall speed, unless the issue is a poor signal in which case an exterior mounted device might help

Oh yeah? which one?

@static bough which one did you buy?

Is there a link?

That doesn’t matter

Ryzen 3200GE?

That processor is several years old

You should probably replace it with a different one if you have the budget

[graceful burrow]

4 years in 5 months

[polar fern]

Yeah that is a zen plus processor

[graceful burrow]

not a powerhouse by any means lmao

[polar fern]

Yes you do you simply buy a 4200G & swap it

[graceful burrow]

5600g*

[polar fern]

No

Those boards don’t support the newer processors

Has to be the 4200G

@static bough like $130?

Depends on where you buy it from

I wouldn’t pay more than that though

[graceful burrow]

you have no clue what chipset his board is

[polar fern]

That is true, but most of the Zen plus stuff is not at all compatible with any of the newer processors unfortunately

[graceful burrow]

Or we could just not make bold assumptions

It definitely isn't that

[polar fern]

Can you post a link to this product please?

If that’s the actual information, I would really like to look at it

It doesn’t matter if the link is long

[graceful burrow]

Lighter roblox games yeah

We can't glean motherboard from this
It doesn't say, and the pictures are too blurry

Not as well as my phone can

You bought an internet browsing machine not a gaming machine

[polar fern]

expect too much from the system. It will run some stuff but it’s not at all any type of performance machine.

The listing is also extremely suspicious

[graceful burrow]

2666mhz ram on an igpu build oof

How much did you pay for this

[polar fern]

It states that the processor is an AMD Athlon 64

I would cancel the order

Definitely a rip-off

Yes, you can

Or if it’s already delivered or on the way, you can return it

[graceful burrow]

YOU PAID 700 FOR THAT?

[polar fern]

It’s basically borderline scam seller

[graceful burrow]

Homie I truly truly believe this one of your crappy shit posts because if that's real you got fucking fleeced

I'm dead serious

also technically speaking buying the game unironically funds the russians in the war hahaha

[graceful burrow]

i dont feel that bad because according to microsoft themselves gamepass cannibalizes game sales

[polar steeple]

Don't they pay a lump sum

[full fossil]

shouldnt feel bad anyway

its like 0.000000000001 of their income

@graceful burrow also i got something for you

UE5 is still too new

gonna be plenty of games that began development on UE4 coming out

[graceful burrow]

what's that

[full fossil]

https://www.flawlesswidescreen.org

youll need it, for atomic heart

[graceful burrow]

my monitor is not widescreen kek

[full fossil]

its for an FOV slider

[graceful burrow]

oh fuck yeah

[full fossil]

the game didnt add one and the UE console unlocker is blocked on live build

[polar steeple]

Is guardians good?

[graceful burrow]

i absolutely noted the low fov once i got my weapon and was very disappointed

[full fossil]

it made me feels sick

[graceful burrow]

me too

i crank that motherfucker

[full fossil]

and the usual tyhing i used for dev build was a UE console unlocker but that is blocked on this version

[stray apex]

did they add mouse acceleration settings

[full fossil]

not sure

but one interesting thing: they removed RT

[graceful burrow]

no fuckin way they removed RT

[full fossil]

apparently DLSS 3 frame gen had some issue so they removed RT lol...

[graceful burrow]

atomic heart was one of the first games to tout RT

[full fossil]

for the minority compared to the more majority who dont have a 40series card but want RT

[graceful burrow]

one of the first rtx showcase games

[stray apex]

didn't hogwarts legacy also have issues with that?

[full fossil]

i dont believe so, it has RT and DLSS

[stray apex]

yeah, I've read reports of those settings fucking fps though

[full fossil]

(dlss version is wildly outdated tho)

[full fossil]

well it is RT tbf lol

dlss helps for perf

[graceful burrow]

i noted options for DLSS and RT available on my 1080 kek
RT makes sense, it's technically enabled at the driver-level for the 1080 but runs like dogshit, but the option did nothing
neither did dlss but i expected that

dev builds be like

[strong kettle]

rt on a 1080

[graceful burrow]

[polar steeple]

Lol

[full fossil]

can dlss even run on 10 series since it uses tensor?

[graceful burrow]

possible but extremely slow

[full fossil]

RT works on a 1080 lol

[graceful burrow]

nope

[full fossil]

its just terrible

[graceful burrow]

ive never seen it work even if it's hacked in

[strong kettle]

ive tried ray tracing on a 1070TI

[full fossil]

yeah it be hard when you dont have the AI cores

Ray tracing works on a CPU

Ray tracing works on a calculator

[graceful burrow]

i can get 60fps in battlefield 5 with RT global illumination on

unfortunately it's unplayable due to microstutters

does a calculator even have a gpu?

[graceful burrow]

it's just math

[trim robin]

ray traceing it just math

if it can do math it can both raytrace and mine bitcoin

[stray apex]

you could in theory perform raytracing calculations by hand

[full fossil]

you could in theory manually flip computer bits to get things to work

[manic torrent]

You could use mechanical turk to get hundreds of low paid people to ray trace your scene manually

[manic torrent]

See the thing is, most people don't think with portals

also, most people don't have good imagination for how bad a thing can get.

[graceful burrow]

you could set 100 immortal monkeys in a room with 100 type writers for eternity and they'd trace at least one ray on them

english is the base10 of languages.

absolutely stupid, but we used it because we cbf

[stray apex]

english is fine

[unkempt widget]

why is base 10 stupid

[stray apex]

it's just a language

[unkempt widget]

it seems like the most intuitive thing

[manic torrent]

because it has 5 and 2 as factors, which is suuuuuper lame. 12 is a far superior base, but we don't have twelve fingers

[inner locust]

because USA is big boi, before that in europe people had to use french

[polar steeple]

English is fine even if you ignore the stupid idiosyncrasies and just talk people will still understand you

english is not fine, and if you know anything about it, you'd know that

russian also used to be a fairly popular language but uh
well

[unkempt widget]

what does having factors make it any better, other than feeling a bit more satisfying

[inner locust]

ehhh Im not so sure, people in russia used french

[manic torrent]

I would suggest that if you don't know that, you don't know enough to be asking the question - that's something you should google.

[unkempt widget]

you should explain it though, and why it's important for a number
with your theory 24 or 48 is better then no?

[manic torrent]

48=24=12= base12 = I win

[unkempt widget]

base 6?

[inner locust]

69 is the best number

trust me

[unkempt widget]

you're not proving anything

[stray apex]

base infinity is the best

[manic torrent]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal

[stray apex]

divisible by an infinite number of factors

[unkempt widget]

there is no number with the highest amount of factors, and even if there was, it wouldn't be suitable for usage as a base

[manic torrent]

The number twelve, a superior highly composite number, is the smallest number with four non-trivial factors (2, 3, 4, 6), and the smallest to include as factors all four numbers (1 to 4) within the subitizing range, and the smallest abundant number.

I'm dying to make reference to storming the senate

I shall resist

[unkempt widget]

ahem dictatorial powers

ahem army in italy

[manic torrent]

totally different to today, of course. The US has nothing like that.

[unkempt widget]

hey at least the laws aren't as archaic

[normal cargo]

Wasn't that Julius twisting the senate through political alliances though?, Like, the senate was a pretty robust form of governance beforehand ?

[manic torrent]

I can't imagine a scenario where the national guard would be deliberately held back from an incident

[manic torrent]

.... what the fuck

[unkempt widget]

i said aren't as

[manic torrent]

you realise that it's all relative, and the age of a law doesn't mean it's inherently bad or good

[unkempt widget]

me neither, it can't have happened on the sixth day of a 21 years after the second millenial happened

[unkempt widget]

i don't mean archaic as in old, i mean archaic as in it just doesn't make sense like at all

and it just creates unnecessary bureaucracy

[normal cargo]

Yea but you could fight a lion

[manic torrent]

I mean, that's what archaic means, but go off.

[unkempt widget]

ik i just couldn't think of a better word

so i went with the best word i can think of

[graceful burrow]

you should have said

"so last decade!"

[normal cargo]

Irrelevant ?

Lol

[manic torrent]

I mean, I know you're children, and you're also being shits for laughs, but the entire internet is RIGHT THERE for you to learn from.

[graceful burrow]

what if

we all just

sat around a campfire and had smores :)

[manic torrent]

... and just held on to our shivs. Reallll tight.

[unkempt widget]

hey english isn't my first language :(((

[manic torrent]

oh that's not it at all - "irrelevant" laws is a whole thing, but those aren't that.

[unkempt widget]

i do know about irrelevant laws in the us, i'm just saying the romans had a lot of that

[normal cargo]

Um, what ?

What should I be learning ?, Cos nothing I said was anywhere close to serious

[manic torrent]

The thing is - it's far more complex than that. laws are made to suit an agenda

[manic torrent]

yeah I was pretty much ignoring you

[unkempt widget]

yes, and the floor is made out of floor

[manic torrent]

but there is no difference between roman law and now - people are people. We do the same shit over and over and over

we aren't better than them

[unkempt widget]

what i am saying is roman laws were much worse in terms of unnecessary

[manic torrent]

they absolutely were not

[unkempt widget]

2 consuls per year

but they give power to each consul alternatively which isn't codified in law

[normal cargo]

Lifetime peerages, restrictions on voting

[manic torrent]

inherited wealth, gerrymandering.....

[unkempt widget]

and the fact they only serve for a year makes for a lot of poor military decisions

[normal cargo]

That too

[manic torrent]

it's the same game.

[unkempt widget]

a lot of populism

tribune of the plebs

[weary moon]

I'm fairly sure there was this one guy who was big on the idea of serving for more than his 10 year period and the senate stabbed him a bunch of times for it

[unkempt widget]

(not saying that's a bad idea, just the veto power kinda made it too powerful)

[normal cargo]

Nobody is saying we havnt got daft laws today but the Romans, and any community in ancient times, had them in every part of society

[unkempt widget]

the 10 year period was dictatorial power the senate gave yes, and they ended up stabbing him, true too

[normal cargo]

Then immediately put his son in charge ?

[unkempt widget]

also a claudius was literally part of the tribune of the plebs, so that's also a thing

[normal cargo]

After Anthony ofc

[weary moon]

Arguably though, said stabbed individual also pulled off some of the greatest and most effective feats of populist leadership ever

[unkempt widget]

definitely

[normal cargo]

Oh yea for sure

[weary moon]

Eh kinda, made his nephew his legal son and inherited him but it took decades to actually become the guy in charge

[manic torrent]

the idea that we are better than historic people is both untrue and dangerous. We should AIM to be better. But the reality is people have been people for thousnads of years

[unkempt widget]

who also started some proscription?

[weary moon]

Insufferably yes

[normal cargo]

How long was Anthony in charge then cos I though it was immediately after him ?

[unkempt widget]

explain how it's untrue then

[weary moon]

Anthony was never really 'in charge' on his own.

[unkempt widget]

he also fucked up a lot

[weary moon]

He was incredibly bad at non-military leadership, yes.

[manic torrent]

How long ago was slavery entirely abolished in the US?

[unkempt widget]

and military

[normal cargo]

Um, we are, that was actually going to be the 2nd part of my point but didn't wanna make it too relevant to politics today, but we have things like judicial oversight, universal voting, abolished servitude etc. This is how progress happens

[unkempt widget]

hmmm, i feel like that's a trick question
officially, about 155 years ago, in reality, never?

[weary moon]

Loaded question begging to ask whether or not prison labor should be considered modern slavery

[manic torrent]

correct, never

[unkempt widget]

tbh the us is one of the only countries that does it

[normal cargo]

Yea

[manic torrent]

I mean it literally is, there's an exemption for it

[unkempt widget]

and not everything is american

[normal cargo]

"it's in the constitution" etc

[thin vigil]

So the subreddit has really gone off the deep end this past few hours eh

[graceful burrow]

@full fossil man you werent kiddin lmao
game runs 40x better

[manic torrent]

not everything is roman either 🙂

[weary moon]

I will have you know that my state amended that... like last year

[unkempt widget]

this few hours?
i think it's been like this this past 3 days

[normal cargo]

Aye but if you're going on about slavery and prison labour then you're comparing it to the American system

[manic torrent]

look, in many ways society is improving, but it is absolutely not moving in one direction, and we are not inherently superior to older civilisations.

[thin vigil]

oh yeah but it was fairly sporadic, /new looks busier and they've taken to doxxing
