[full fossil]

How is you doing

[rigid moon]

wow 10 series is insane

the design is wayyyy too good

not covered with rgb

[sweet jetty]

True

[fierce grotto]

Am I better off getting an lg 29 inch ultra wide than a 34inch one from aoc

With them having the same resolution

These are what I’m comparing

[tired glade]

29 Vs 34

[fierce grotto]

They are both 2560×1080

my gmail got hacked in november and i cant access it so ive lost access to like 50% of my steam library that are EA games lmao

[tired glade]

Stop clicking links

[oak flare]

nah i didnt have 2fa on the account for some reason, in addition to that the password was fairly generic so i kinda had it coming

but hey, an 8 year old account, whats it worth anyways

[tired glade]

That even stupider reason

Well, i did say it was indeed stoopid

Windles team too busy adding 475 features no one asked for

[heady wadi]

rookies, linux has been already doing it

[nocturne rover]

Does installing an SSD to a ps5 extend the Storage or replace the current storage?

[tired glade]

But on Linux you can just remove them

[polar fern]

Remove what?

[hazy panther]

hello there folks,

[tired glade]

What you don't want on your os install

[polar fern]

Oh

[heady wadi]

depends on if your distro has that in the first place

[tired glade]

Don't use distros that don't have it

[heady wadi]

wdym by "dont use distros"?

[tired glade]

Most likely those made for every specific thing

[tired glade]

Idk

[polar fern]

Shockingly, most people just want their pc to work so they can check emails and stuff. Not to tinker & fiddle & experiment.

[tired glade]

You know,default option,that how most IT companies makes money

[polar fern]

The notion that “everyone should be very tech savvy” is legit not based in reality

[tired glade]

If you enough tech savvy,you write your own os

[polar fern]

Yep & everyone should just build everything they need from scratch

Super realistic idea

Bbl

[tired glade]

That's why not all car owners are mechanics

[heady wadi]

depends on what you mean by "build", Compiling? sure it has been going on for quite a while

[tired glade]

How would you start making your os?

[heady wadi]

Am i allowed to use components from others?

[tired glade]

I would start with choosing the main language for os basic components

[heady wadi]

that isnt an answer to my question

[tired glade]

Are you sure?

[heady wadi]

Once again, Am I allowed to use components from other OSes?

[tired glade]

Sad

[heady wadi]

:

[plush rivet]

If you have a TPM be careful

If you change too much the TPM will lock you out

[heady wadi]

i dont lol

[plush rivet]

Than your fine

unless you change your CPU

than you may run into issues

[sweet jetty]

Just... Turn off TPM from bios

[heady wadi]

Am ı allowed to use components from others OSes? thats the question

[plush rivet]

Yes yes you can

[heady wadi]

Guess i already have made my own OS then 🤷‍♂️

[rugged rapids]

1 guy is telling me

He has a regular PC but no money for a windows key

How tf exactly is he booting and playing games

[tired glade]

Windows 10 or 11?

[rugged rapids]

Or is he just so confused

[rugged rapids]

I have no fcking idea

I told him how to copy his game savefiles over, all well and good

[tired glade]

I hope it's not home 11, because you need account for that one

[rugged rapids]

Then I told him to form a new folder by right clicking on his home screen to store his stuff

And he was like it no work

Me: you’re not on Windows?
Him: nope
Me: MacOS?
Him: nope
Me: LINUX?
Him: whats that?
Me: then what is ur operating system
Him: Regular PC

Like bro is drunk or what 🤣

[tired glade]

If there is right click - not mac

Just ask to make phone of monitor

And send picture to you

[rugged rapids]

He thinks he has an operating system

Either bro is a genius writing his own OS, or he’s just 🍻

[tired glade]

I hope it's not doc

[hollow pulsar]

If I wrote an OS, it’s underpinnings would be nodes. Click and drag a line from the output of one node to the input of another node. Also, if I made hardware, all digital interfaces would have 2-way direction. That one HDMI port? Yea, you can capture video. Plug the USB from one computer directly to another and it pipes whatever you want over it - webcam, file system, mouse, etc…

[tired glade]

Don't over pressure him,he is panicking

[rugged rapids]

Good idea

[hollow pulsar]

Basically, if you have one of my computers- you are the master and IT works FOR you.

[rugged rapids]

You don’t want my data?

Are you even an OS

Operating system is defined as a program which handles the running of your computer/smartphone/whatever tf and steals your data
aR0ypedia

[hollow pulsar]

Lol. No. You payed me already for the computer. I want no ownership over what you own.

[rugged rapids]

It was meant to be sarcasm

And what about my free McAfee trial

[hollow pulsar]

I know. Lol. But I really believe in the concept of ownership. Something a lot of people are losing sight of.

[heady wadi]

if companies can put ads on your PC then it isnt your PC 🤷‍♂️

[plush rivet]

Does he not realize windows is free

[frail pecan]

It is not

[plush rivet]

So me downloading an ISO file isn’t making it free

[manic torrent]

pipewire already exists

[rugged rapids]

Forget that, my question is how is anything happening without an OS

[frail pecan]

No

[plush rivet]

the license costs money, not the OS

[plush rivet]

You must be trolling saying that

[heady wadi]

theres better and Free (Free as in free speech/Freedom) OSes anyways

[frail pecan]

In no way at all. You can download and install it without a license key but you have to enter one unless you want to break contractual terms and have limited customizability

[plush rivet]

wow you repeated exactly what i just said and agreed with me

the OS you can download for free but the license cost money

[hollow pulsar]

Audio only?

[frail pecan]

No, I don't agree with you because there is a distinction to be made. While the download is free of charge the operating system itself isn't

[plush rivet]

Oh of course, it’s stupid how even now the keys are still 200 dollars 😭

Like Microsoft is a billion dollar company why do they need this still

[heady wadi]

well they are a company thats hungry for money

[manic torrent]

audio, video, midi.

[manic torrent]

they are a company.

[plush rivet]

So a company

[frail pecan]

Linux exists :)

[plush rivet]

You’d be doin the same thing if you were Microsoft

[hollow pulsar]

I was only aware of audio. Thanks for the learning!

[plush rivet]

But windows ):

[heady wadi]

BSD too

[frail pecan]

True, and other unix-like osses

[frail pecan]

Is unfortunately still the default standard :/

[manic torrent]

it's basically magic

[plush rivet]

I have a VM for Linux for my picoCTF, but I rlly need to get into Linux lol

I’ve been so lazy and just wanna stick with windows

[frail pecan]

Debian, Mint, PopOS, Manjaro are all good choices

[hollow pulsar]

I think I use Pipewire on ZorinOS to load a module to output audio to a raspberryPi running Apple's Airplay protocol.

[heady wadi]

Manjaro sucks, its even more unstable than arch

[hollow pulsar]

As far as I know, Windows isn't doing THAT easily.

[heady wadi]

EndavourOS is better than manjaro

[frail pecan]

Mint :P

[plush rivet]

I use Ubuntu on my VM

[frail pecan]

Fair, I don't like snap and therefore try to avoid Ubuntu

[hollow pulsar]

I use Ubuntu Server to host my docker containers.

As a server, it's pretty solid.

[heady wadi]

theres better options

[plush rivet]

Idk I’m not into Linux like that

I just needed a VM for picoCTF and that was the top one lol

[heady wadi]

For servers, i would prefer something redhat stuff like Rocky linux

[crude dune]

Hey guys I need some help regarding wifi lease, can I ask here or need to go to a different channel?

[plush rivet]

Go ahead it’s fine

[crude dune]

So I use my mobile hotspot for my computer and the lease time is 1 hour

but the lease wont renew, so currently I just reset the hotspot

I was hoping of a more premeanent solution

[plush rivet]

I mean unless you need the lease get rid of it

[crude dune]

What do you mean

[plush rivet]

Get rid of the lease so you can just connect

[crude dune]

How do I do that

[proud stump]

1st day properly playing with a 3090ti baby

[proud stump]

btw anyone know how to remove amd drivers

i just updated to invidea drivers but i think that your suposed to wipe when you swich or is it fine

realistically you should be fine but if you still want to remove drivers you can download DDU

h5n1 is 60% mortality rate in humans

[mystic raptor]

should i upgrade my 500w psu ( i have an i7 7700 and 1080ti 16gb ram )

[sonic barn]

If it's cheap

Otherwise you don't

[white siren]

what's with soundbars that have BT 4.2. even the $3,299.95 sennheiser has it

[mystic raptor]

well my psu has clickiny sounds

when i hit it a bit it stops

and nvidia says i should get a 600w minimum

[sonic barn]

[mystic raptor]

i got the pc 2 weeks ago and dusted it

[sonic barn]

[floral inlet]

Does anyone know what Galaxy Smart tags are

[full fossil]

hello

[floral inlet]

Hello how is your day today so far

[full fossil]

good good um i was wondering on a Issue that im having with my vm and that is i have a high end pc but the vm is still lagging even when ive assigned alot of cores and ram

[pearl remnant]

I have no idea what smart tags are

[white siren]

if your psu makes sounds i'd chnage it before something dies. my old 650w was making sounds and would change/get worse when my pc needs more power like gaming for example

[floral abyss]

is anyone going to pax east this year?

[agile heart]

upgrading it with a good psu so you won't have to change it in the future when RTX5080 would require a 800W psu minimum

[thin fjord]

bought a 1200w psu for my 1650 for future proofing

[white siren]

when the amd 7990 XTX comes out. TDP 405w. Suggested PSU 800 W

[wintry dagger]

considering they're buying a 1080ti which is 350, id say that build will probably never see a 4080 much less a 5080

[thin fjord]

what if they buy the 4080 5 years from now when it's the price of a 1080ti today

[agile heart]

maybe when he builds another pc in the future he wouldn't have to buy another psu

[cloud dove]

When that time comes they will just have to upgrade the psu then

[wintry dagger]

also 1080ti is awful value bc thats 3060 money

[tired glade]

Isn't 1080ti below 200 now?

[wintry dagger]

nope, its 350 I was checking yesterday for my friend

[white siren]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/?category=Power+Supplies&manufacturer=&pp=1000&order=date

[wintry dagger]

idk why its kept its value

[heady wadi]

idk, a nvidia GT420 is already overkill for me 🤷‍♂️

[tired glade]

Oh, still holding

[tired glade]

Yea, Nvidia will never make 1080 ti anymore

[thin fjord]

why would they

[tired glade]

I mean, value of 1080 ti still unmatched

[plush rivet]

Very untrue

1080ti days are gone

[tired glade]

Yes,they are

[wintry dagger]

wtf I search up "gtx 1080 ti" on ebay and the first 3 pages are laptops with a 3050

[tired glade]

But it hold way too good against 20 and 30 series

Lol

[wintry dagger]

oh shit its bc I accidentally put rtx 1080ti not gtx 1080ti im stupid

[plush rivet]

No lol

[heady wadi]

it really is, most of the stuff i do consumes CPU rather than GPU

[plush rivet]

1080tis are very dead now, you can get much better gpus

[tired glade]

Search for 3950x what will pup up in listing

[plush rivet]

They’re good, but very obsolete

[wintry dagger]

my dad is still rocking his 1080 and he hasnt found a single game he cant max out at 1080p that dips below 55fps

[tired glade]

Last time,there were a lot of 3970x right new to it

[plush rivet]

doesn’t mean it’s not obsolete

not saying the card is bad, I’m sayin theirs better options

[wintry dagger]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/204250832600? how the hell does this even happen

[heady wadi]

"Slightly burnt" is that thing food?? 💀

[thin fjord]

dropped it on the grill

[tired glade]

Skill

[plush rivet]

No

[wintry dagger]

a 2080 is 20 bucks more than a 1080 ti

id go for the 2080

[plush rivet]

unless you mirror your display

[gusty dawn]

Then get one with micron gddr6

[thin fjord]

3060ti is $20 more than a 2080

[gusty dawn]

[thin fjord]

id go for the 3060ti

[tired glade]

Isn't 2080 performance same as 1080 ti?

[wintry dagger]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255989564089?

[thin fjord]

wait no shot

[tired glade]

Green PCB, nice

[wintry dagger]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/304800238395?

[thin fjord]

oem card but it's a 2080 nonetheless

[gusty dawn]

In older games it can be slightly worse, and in newer games that use SM6.X it is much better

[wintry dagger]

a 2080 is a still 2080

[tired glade]

Oh no

[gusty dawn]

The 1080ti ranges from a 1660ti to 2080 depending on the game relative to turing gpus

[thin fjord]

idk why but gpu prices falling keeps catching me off guard

[tired glade]

Thanks Nvidia to removing something that 10 had and not edding it to 20

[thin fjord]

those scalpers really did a number on me

[wintry dagger]

everything except for 30 series cards

[mystic raptor]

probs gonna upgrade to 1000w or 850w

[gusty dawn]

Blender is pure compute so cycles should be about the same

[mystic raptor]

i used my old 970 in my old pc with a 1000w, never had any problems

[gusty dawn]

Optix will be much faster on turing

[thin fjord]

i hear 3090ti's can be had for $800 which is still absurd to me

[sonic barn]

970 is like 350w

[thin fjord]

i thought $1100 for a 3080ti was a good deal when i got mine

[gusty dawn]

Depends on the renderer in blender you use

[sonic barn]

💀

[wintry dagger]

no, for 800 bucks you can get a asus tuf 3090 lmao

[mystic raptor]

ik, but when i had a 780ti my 650w exploded

[wintry dagger]

not even a ti

[thin fjord]

you're gonna have to forgive me ive been up all night lol

[mystic raptor]

so i got a 970 and 1000w for overkill

[sonic barn]

980ti is like 250w

[thin fjord]

everything is a little jumbled

[wintry dagger]

ur fine, dont stress over it

[thin fjord]

but still i could've waited some months and got a better card at a cheaper price

just the way life goes

[uneven rampart]

Selling a 1650 super for $100 anyone interested?

[sonic barn]

you can get a 1060 for 100$

just go on ebay and set an auction

[quick raft]

https://www.cclonline.com/k005-montech-air-100-argb-mid-tower-case-black-usb-3-0/

this good or not?

[wintry dagger]

I was saying their price was off, 800 dollars for a last gen gpu is stupid

https://www.ebay.com/itm/125786180036? goofy ahh joycons

[wintry dagger]

look at the price tho lol

200 dollar tablet only console on ebay, with 15 dollar wish joycons, and a 2nd hand pokemon game, probably costed him 270 MAX and hes selling it for 390, and worst of all it doesnt even come with a dock, wrist straps, or the joycon controller thingy

[graceful burrow]

5 bucks more you can buy a brand new steam deck

[wintry dagger]

literally the exact joycons

[jolly meadow]

yeah but you need a switch to pirate do backup copies

[graceful burrow]

Just illegally download them Nintendo deserves no sorrow

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, if you want actually good joycons though, you gotta replace the sticks with Gullikit hall effect sticks, which are pretty much unable to drift

[wintry dagger]

ive been using my 2nd gen switch for 4 years now and ive had zero drift issues, and considering I got it when I was 13 I didnt rlly take good care of it so considering that I wouldnt worry about drift

[wind pulsar]

Mine wore down after like two months

[wintry dagger]

all consoles drift eventually, but its gonna be a long time before it does

[wind pulsar]

First generation Switch after all

[wintry dagger]

yeah I was about to say the first gen switches were awful

[wind pulsar]

Nah, electromagnetic sticks or hall effect sticks don't wear down

[wintry dagger]

I cant think of a single console that comes stock with hall effect sensors

[wind pulsar]

The physical stick will break before it'll drift

[wind pulsar]

Because there isn't, but you can easily replace them as I said

[jolly meadow]

i have both gen1 and gen2 switches and had to buy gen2 joycons for the gen1 one

[normal cargo]

Lol nintendo

[wind pulsar]

I refuse to buy new joycons for $60 when I can just get a set of hall effect sticks for $30

[wintry dagger]

I have a gen 2 switch, and my pokemon edition oled is coming today, the only issues ive ever had with my switch was the dumbass plastic rubbing on the screen which caused wear on the screen

[wind pulsar]

Gullikit best girl

[graceful burrow]

Dreamcast controllers had halls

[wintry dagger]

gamestop replaces them for free, doesnt matter where you bought ur switch from

at least my location

[wind pulsar]

And 90s SEGA controllers, thx for reminding me

[jolly meadow]

the splatoon one doesnt even come with the game 😆

[wintry dagger]

its also 10 bucks more

I mean when has a single nintendo special edition console come with a game

[jolly meadow]

ACNH edition

[wintry dagger]

im not justifying nintendos choices bc ill call them out on their bullshit, but yeah

[jolly meadow]

i own that

[wintry dagger]

it didnt come with a game

[wind pulsar]

The Mario edition Nintendo Wii came with a game

[jolly meadow]

yes with acnh

[wintry dagger]

I had a acnh edition first, then the screen broke within a week, and I went to a mario red and blue one

[jolly meadow]

white wii came with wii sports

black one with mario kart

[wintry dagger]

"Since the Animal Crossing special-edition Switch doesn't come with the game, you'll need to buy it separately."

[jolly meadow]

wii u had nintendo land

[jolly meadow]

weird. maybe murica thing

[wintry dagger]

I live in america also

maybe you got lucky?

[jolly meadow]

no im in europe

[wintry dagger]

OH

maybe

"For Europe and Japan, a digital download game code is included. In North America, there is no game included with the system. You can pre-order the Special Edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch at the following places: US: Amazon, Best Buy, Target, GameStop."

that explains alot then, WHY COULDNT THEY INCLUDE THE DAMN GAME

I love the acnh-current special edition switches bc it isnt just a diff color joycon and a glossy design on the back, its a full new look to the entire console, dock, straps, and the joycon controller thingy

[jolly meadow]

HA

[granite tinsel]

i just discovered that finder actually does have tabbed browsing; you just need to enable it in the view dropdown

and it's a better implementation than what windows file explorer recently got

[jaunty compass]

I'll just stick with my steam deck

[granite tinsel]

oh yeah i got my replacement steam deck yesterday

[jaunty compass]

Most of them
The answer is most of them

[granite tinsel]

i broke the first one's firmware 💀

[jaunty compass]

Sega Dreamcast

[granite tinsel]

and the sega saturn even LMAO

sega was fuckin goated for that even if the controllers themselves had weird-ass ergonomics

[jaunty compass]

Sega's 6 button genesis controller with no select button:

[granite tinsel]

genesis six-button is so nice

saturn stock controller would be almost an improvement if the shoulder buttons weren't so weird

[jaunty compass]

risky pc maintenance time. Replacing fans on my aio while the system is still on lol

[normal cargo]

It ain't brain surgery yo

[sweet jetty]

Just... Turn it off?

[pliant karma]

and there goes the sata connection for one of my ssds

[graceful burrow]

Are you not using sata 3 connectors?

[arctic raft]

Have anyone actually managed to buy it ?

[pliant karma]

Got 3 sata 6 cables coming out of the motherboard. They got tangled with my fan connectors but I just yanked the cable so that’s the main reason cable came out lol

[graceful burrow]

Sata 6 doesn't exist.
Sata 3 6gb/s is the spec
Sata 3 cables have a little clip on them to keep them in
Sata 2 cables can run at sata 3 speeds but don't have the clip

Now that you're caught up, are you not using sata 3 connectors?

[pliant karma]

Oh wait yea I am lol

are there any channel which fit for mobile phones

I built a new pc and I have a problem where when I turn it on it takes 1-2 minutes for my monitors to turn on and display. Is there a fix to this?

[brave lodge]

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[plush rivet]

Does it work?

[low vessel]

it works

[jaunty topaz]

either a gpu problem or something is going wrong while booting

[low vessel]

are there troubleshooting methods?

[jaunty topaz]

is your computer already fully booted when the monitors turn on?

[low vessel]

no shows me motherboard loading screen

[jaunty topaz]

ok so there’s definitely something wrong with the booting process then

[white siren]

bios bug i guess

[jaunty topaz]

i’m not really sure if there’s specific troubleshooting steps, you’d kinda have to check everything

[low vessel]

i also have another problem with my corsair fans not changing lighting one the icue software

[wintry dagger]

its just icue being shit im having the same issue with my shitass ram

corsair makes a+ products but just bc of their rgb software which is shit its a f tier for me

[low vessel]

dang

alr

[white siren]

i guess use windows RGB when that's available

[wintry dagger]

I use openrgb but it conveniently doesnt work with corsair ram

[white siren]

https://www.techpowerup.com/304726/microsoft-to-standardize-rgb-control-within-windows-11-settings

[low vessel]

could it be because I am running a 1000w power supply through a power outlet extender?

[white siren]

like a power bar?

[low vessel]

yes

[white siren]

nah

[wintry dagger]

I mean I run my pc and all of my periphs through a power bar with no issues

whole build uses 650w

[white siren]

move the fan to another plug and see if that makes a difference

[wintry dagger]

OH ur solving the rgb software issue and hes asking if its bc its running through a power bar

[tired glade]

Oh

[wintry dagger]

I read can I instead of could it be

[jaunty topaz]

well it's also taking his pc 1-2 minutes to boot

[wintry dagger]

still not a power strip issue

[jaunty topaz]

it's something

[wintry dagger]

try plugging it into the wall just in case

its not gonna do anything different but mind as well try

[low vessel]

i will

[low vessel]

is there something I can do in bios?

[wintry dagger]

are you in the bios?

[white siren]

know your mobo model?

[wintry dagger]

or has it not posted at all

[low vessel]

not rightn ow

[low vessel]

Computer turns on, everything spins, Peripherals turn on. Only thing not on is the monitors

until 2 min later

[wintry dagger]

does it do it every time?

or only that one time

[low vessel]

i can make it faster by turning on the monitors manually

[wintry dagger]

bc if its only done it once thats normal

[low vessel]

but automatically it does it all the time

[wintry dagger]

I leave my monitors on standby so when it detects a signal it turns on, but try turning on the monitors as soon as you press the power button

bc it could just be ur monitors being autistic

[jaunty topaz]

either that or somethings up with the cables

[low vessel]

i am switching them for different ones today

[wintry dagger]

that as well

[white siren]

try display port/hdmi

im DVI

[plush rivet]

I mean it’s not like the monitor doesn’t work

[wintry dagger]

well im just figuring out if its a monitor issue bc it might just take a while to realize it has a signal

[plush rivet]

It could honestly be the cable

[wintry dagger]

or both

[white siren]

dose the hdd light flash at all until it starts?

[wintry dagger]

pcs still have hdd lights?

[plush rivet]

HDD light means it’s processing data

[wintry dagger]

my pc from 2010 doesnt have a hdd light nor does my new one

[plush rivet]

Most of the time the power button is a HDD light

my old case had one

[white siren]

my mobo has a post bug so i gotta play with the reset button until it goes. it's random

[wintry dagger]

my power button has a light but its just always on

[wind pulsar]

Yes, almost all cases still come with activity leds

[plush rivet]

Uhh that’s not good lol

[wintry dagger]

its very useful

[low vessel]

in my case my power button turn on

[plush rivet]

Your HDD is trashing lol

If that is your HDD light

[wintry dagger]

tbf I probably wired it wrong bc front panel connectors suck ass

[wintry dagger]

im not concerned tbh

[plush rivet]

So your fine with shit performance

[trim robin]

ive never sean a pc with the power butten led as disk actitcty light

[white siren]

wonder if an error code shows up on the mobo or it doesn't have that led light?

[wintry dagger]

why do they have to be so fucking annoying can we not just like put them in one block instead of 90 different cables

[wintry dagger]

I have a fucking 3070 and a 3900x im not concerned with performance, and how would a light effect performance

[plush rivet]

Well than you’ve been under a rock for the last 10 years

[plush rivet]

your HDD light activity has nothing to do with performance?

[wintry dagger]

.

[white siren]

lol. i like how this conversation getting weird 😛

[plush rivet]

I doubt it would matter

[plush rivet]

All I said was his HDD is thrashing lol

[trim robin]

i'll glady keep my disk a lights separate down here

[plush rivet]

being ok with thrashing is odd but your problem

[wintry dagger]

my mobo had a 16 segment display or how many segments it is idk, anyways it shows up like 15 different codes upon startup so I dont think that would reel anything out

[plush rivet]

I mean it’s useful if you care enough

[trim robin]

i dont care at all lol

[jaunty topaz]

great card

[plush rivet]

Perfect lol

[wintry dagger]

overpaid lol

[jaunty topaz]

i underpaid

[wintry dagger]

I got it for 500 bucks and now my strix card goes for 350 ;-;

[trim robin]

hmm tho i wonder if the disk led on my laptop only dose it for one disk or all

[random jolt]

r/kittykankles

[wintry dagger]

guys I have an actual question now idk if its stupid or not bc I dont think it matters

is 2 seperate 8 pin pci-e cables better, bc I have 2 cables rn but im using 1 8 pin cable that has 2 of them yk what im talking about

[plush rivet]

Either works

[wintry dagger]

this vs 2 pci-e 8 pin cables

[wintry dagger]

so it shouldnt effect performance

[plush rivet]

Not in the slightest, it’s power

just make sure it’s seated and your good

[wintry dagger]

I didnt think it did, I was just making sure

[plush rivet]

All good

[wintry dagger]

also the lian li sp750 sucks ass, the cables are so short I had to STRETCH the gpu power cable to fit it on my 3070 in a o11 mini

its so sketchy

I put the power under, and its acting like a gpu support bracket now bc of so much tension

I would just get an extension but id just get cablemod cables but they're expensive so im waiting a bit

[trim robin]

[gentle willow]

Eluktronics...

Anyone got one of these?

[wintry dagger]

its been like that for 6 months😀

[gentle willow]

I've had bad time with Eluktronics, prob not as bad as the guy with the $3000 liquid cooled laptop with the corrosion that bricked his system, but its still fairly bad.

[wintry dagger]

heard of them, dont know what they even do lol

[near granite]

guys, does the B450m pro4 motherboard have UEFI support?

[wintry dagger]

any mobo past 1998 has uefi support lmao

[plush rivet]

Any mobo ever has UEFI

modern to be specific

[wintry dagger]

shit so my apple 2 has uefi, damn

[plush rivet]

Ok not that old

[near granite]

Does this motherboard have Secure Boot?

[plush rivet]

Yes

[wintry dagger]

lol I know, im just giving you a hard time

[wintry dagger]

lemme actually research that bc you'd be suprised

[plush rivet]

That’s like a basic thing with UEFI

[wintry dagger]

I think they're talking about for win 11

[plush rivet]

I may be…

Just thought about it

[near granite]

I don't know what to do, I'm trying to run Secure boot in BIOS, but after I turn it on, Windows doesn't start, and in the motherboard information it says that Secure Boot is not supported.

[wintry dagger]

yeah it supports win 11 so it has all that shit

[near granite]

Bios updated to the latest.

[full fossil]

what the hell OwO i want those

[gentle willow]

Linus has had the laptops on his show

[full fossil]

lol

[gentle willow]

I'm getting screwed over by them, they suck

[wintry dagger]

you just described every single electronics company

also intel unison sucks ass, dont use it

[gentle willow]

Sold me a barebone laptop, sent it back. They have no parts to test it lol. Want me to ship my CPU and ram

[full fossil]

if anyone wants to be my maid, tell me

[trim robin]

TPM on?

[gentle willow]

They are going to see if parts are faulty but not fixing it. Its odd and they had it for 2 months and blew dust off it.

[wintry dagger]

tell them you're going to take legal action if they dont send you the correct product, or get them a refund

you can sue the balls out of them if they refuse either

[near granite]

Yes

[gentle willow]

I could try, not sure I appealed the PayPal case they won. Reason buyer modified laptop....it was a barebone laptop.

Then they took it back after the fact, but not proposing any real resolution. I even offered to give then more money for something else.

I do wonder, did they test it before sending to me. Likely not if the parts aren't on hand.

Time for tech Jesus.

Also I'm an almost 2 decade IT tech so I can troubleshoot with the best of them.

[vital niche]

get featured on LTT for a rebuilt video

[gentle willow]

They also send me a bios to flash, but it wasn't even a Eluk BIOS. Some Style Note company.

[wintry dagger]

they will send the correct laptop once you threaten legal action bc they know that 1. itll cost them more to hire a lawyer than to send the correct laptop and 2. they know you have a genuine case and will win

[gentle willow]

Its an idea, if it was me. I'd rather take the loss on one faulty laptop I sold. Fix or replace it and then have a life long customer.

Its very short sighted on their part.

[wintry dagger]

😩

[wintry dagger]

I passed my first semester with a 3.3 b+ avg gpa, transcript says I got Fs in every class, school said I fucked up, parents said no. threatened to sue the shit out of them and its ✨ magically fixed ✨

[polar steeple]

Lol

How did your transcript end up so different from your grades

[wintry dagger]

they were probably trying to spite me bc I was gonna move schools, long story short I didnt, asked for my transcript bc we keep records of each semester/quarter grade and yeah

[polar steeple]

Let me get this straight

You think the school was trying to spite a b+ student because they were moving? Lol

[gentle willow]

https://tenor.com/view/gamers-nexus-nvidia-3080ti-gpu-money-printer-gif-21792843

[wintry dagger]

I was gonna move schools bc they werent offering full time distance learning, and then when we were gonna apply they announced they were going to still offer it so I had no reason to move

[wintry dagger]

theres no other reason they could have done that

[polar steeple]

It's called a clerical error

[wintry dagger]

idk

its just bullshit

[polar steeple]

Yeahhhhhhh

[wintry dagger]

I think I only thought of that bc they were blaming me for the fs

like they refused to at least LOOK at my grades until we threatened legal action

[polar steeple]

Seems pretty sus that none of your teachers would have intervened and said "no I didn't give that student an F"

[wintry dagger]

it rlly is, but they were all dicks anyways and got mad at me for being 3 mins late to a conference so

[polar steeple]

Uh huh

This is one of those situations where everyone is a dick except you huh

[wintry dagger]

and by 3 mins I mean like 5....

[wintry dagger]

I admit where im at fault, but this was not one of those situations

[polar steeple]

Right

[silver sandal]

Linus hinting at his new car

[wintry dagger]

theres no way I could have been a dick in the situation, we had weekly meetings, I said everything was going well, the only situation where I could have been a dick was missing a meeting once bc it was one of those weeks where we had Monday off and I thought it was a Tuesday, but it was a Wednesday

every time I was at fault, id shoot an email I literally sent an email this morning for forgetting to fill out yesterdays agenda

[polar steeple]

I'm just saying that typically when you're in a situation where everyone is being a dick to you and no one is standing up for you it's typically because you are the dick

[normal cargo]

Was prolly some clerical and bureaucracy bullshit

Classic case of 'not my job mate'

[wintry dagger]

my voice is very monotone and like meh but I try to work on that, but besides that I genuinely dont know how I could have fucked up

[polar steeple]

I'm saying this to be nice but perhaps the best approach would be to start with self awareness and work out from there

[normal cargo]

To be nice, you don't know much about the situation

[wintry dagger]

are you seriously blaming me for something thats literally not my fault?

[polar steeple]

I'm saying your responses would imply missing context

[normal cargo]

Well you gave him advice to be nicer so you created the context lol

Like how do we know it was some clerical bollocks and nobody cared to follow up on it

[polar steeple]

I'm saying the situation they presented has a lot of holes that would need to be addressed

Like how none of their teachers stepped up and said "no I didn't give that student an F"

Like it doesn't make any sense lol

[wintry dagger]

the only context there is is that I always did my work on time, unless if I forgot in which I'd shoot an email explaining and apologizing, id always be on time for meetings, I got rlly well grades, theres literally no fucking thing I did wrong, ive never had any issues with schooling besides like meltdowns bc its too loud, or chaotic

[normal cargo]

So the advice was self reflection, lol, when you dunno anything and less than him who's already said he's unaware of how the situation arose

[polar steeple]

I'm saying they're lying about not knowing

This is not rocket science

[wintry dagger]

except for the fact im not, if you know me im rlly genuine on this server

which you obviously dont

[polar steeple]

Lol

[normal cargo]

Again, you dunno, I know what you're saying, but blaming someone without even knowing the situation prolly needs some self reflection 😜

[wintry dagger]

whats funny about this? please tell me

[polar steeple]

"If only you knew how great I was you wouldn't consider that I could ever lie"

[polar steeple]

Right because no teenager has ever misrepresented their situation on the internet in favor of angst

[normal cargo]

That's a leap to a conclusion, you can apply that to any adult too

[wintry dagger]

considering this, id say I do well in school

the only negative thing ive said was "get ur shit together" to my principal in anger at the situation after she blamed me

[polar steeple]

Every time you speak on it you reveal yourself to look worse and worse lol

[wintry dagger]

im a fucking autistic teenager, I may have fucked up and not realized it but all that matters is that I try my best, and my grades show

[normal cargo]

Behave, I've said and everyone around me have sterner convos with their bosses xD

Y'all meant to be polite when your pay gets fucked

[wintry dagger]

idk what you want from me, I have nothing to hide, I told you context, I have proof that I try my best, and if you look at past messages I admit that I could have handled situations better

[polar steeple]

School isn't the work place

[normal cargo]

Who said it was ?

[polar steeple]

You did when you compared it to talking to a boss

[wintry dagger]

hes using it as an example of talking to authority in the way I handled it, and saying hes seen ppl say worse

[normal cargo]

Talking about a hierarchy system, one of which being more important as it pays your bills. In these scenarios, shit can be pushed back up hill

[polar steeple]

School isn't a hierarchy

[wintry dagger]

it very much is, at least in the us

[normal cargo]

So students don't report to teachers who report to headmaster's n shit ?

[polar steeple]

No, there's no reporting

What the fuck

School is more like a prison than it is a job

Quit being ridiculous

[wintry dagger]

the fuck kind of country do you live in where it works like that

[normal cargo]

Lol they do, you have teachers, form tutors, heads of year n shit

[polar steeple]

The US

The fact of the matter is

[wintry dagger]

I also live in the us and its not like that

[polar steeple]

You seem like you have behavioral issues that you refuse to acknowledge

[pearl remnant]

more like a daycare

[normal cargo]

Based on what ?

[wintry dagger]

thats a low blow...

not all autistic people have behavioral issues dude

[normal cargo]

That his teacher fucked up his grades and got told to eat shit when got blamed ?

[pearl remnant]

attack the argument, not the person

[polar steeple]

In the past 15 minutes alone you've admitted to swearing at your principal and skipping and being late to mandatory meetings

[pearl remnant]

not all people with behavioral issues have autism

[polar steeple]

Thats what you will admit to

[normal cargo]

Talk about leaving out context xD

[polar steeple]

There is no relevant context for swearing at your school principal

[wintry dagger]

I swore at my principal once where it was necessary, I was late to ONE meeting, and it was a whole 5 minutes, and I forgot about a meeting bc it was a week where we didnt have school on monday, so I thought it was a earlier day than when it was

[normal cargo]

If they fuck up they can and should be treated like any other person you encounter that's fucked up

[wintry dagger]

I can say "fuck you" to the president if I want

[pearl remnant]

that warrants swearing?

[polar steeple]

That. Is. Not. What. School. Is.

[pearl remnant]

do you need to though?

[normal cargo]

Yes it is, and why shouldn't it be ?

[polar steeple]

Jesus christ

How dense could you possibly be

[wintry dagger]

when your school threatens your ability to be successful in life, yes it fucking does

[polar steeple]

Because school is a place where children go to be educated

Not the boiler room of a wall street brokerage

Gtfo

[pearl remnant]

holy yikes, my dude

[normal cargo]

So ?, What difference does it make if a grown ass adult tells his boss to eat shit cos they fucked up and refuse to admit it than a teacher doing the same ?

[pearl remnant]

when only one point of view matters

nah, thanks.

i'm good

[polar steeple]

SMH hopeless ass mf

[wintry dagger]

im a 3.3 average gpa student, I have future life goals, and im not going to let a school fuck up my future goals from incompetence

[polar steeple]

According to your transcript you were an F student

[polar steeple]

The more and more you talk about it this seems like a situation of your enabling ass parents bullying the school into changing your grades

[normal cargo]

Nah go on ?, Cos kids have no brains or someshit ?. What difference does it make in telling someone to eat shit when they refuse to acknowledge their mistake ?

[polar steeple]

Yes. Children are stupid as fuck

[reef hamlet]

hey

[polar steeple]

This is documented

That's why they go to school

[wintry dagger]

[normal cargo]

Well clearly this one was right

[pearl remnant]

That's cool. Still doesn't prove swearing was NEEDED. You know the difference in need and want, yes? Mr. 3.3 GPA student?

[polar steeple]

"Clearly"

[normal cargo]

Yep, clearly, you're acting like teachers aren't dicks lol

[polar steeple]

Generally speaking they aren't

[pearl remnant]

you don't need to be a dick in response

[polar steeple]

They may be fed up with piece of shit know it all kids

But teachers aren't dicks

[pearl remnant]

I know I am

[normal cargo]

Generally yes, but that applies to everyone.

[wintry dagger]

im not admitting it was needed, I literally said in an earlier message that was the only way I fucked up in the situation

[normal cargo]

It happens in every walk of life

[polar steeple]

If teachers were dicks they would quit that bum ass job and let you be stupid

Do you think being a teacher is a good job you fucking wood knot

[pearl remnant]

cool nice. good luck in your academic career with your people skills

[normal cargo]

I know teachers and if someone doesn't do their job they deserve to get called out on it, if they refuse to acknowledge a mistake they can expect a response. This happens in every walk of life.

[pearl remnant]

you should practice it in YOUR walk of life too if you want to hold others to that standard

[spare narwhal]

Does anyone else have gta constantly crashing because of modders

[normal cargo]

I and everyone around me does, respect goes both ways

[wintry dagger]

basic rule of life: treat others how you want to be treated

[polar steeple]

R/im17andthisisdeep

[wintry dagger]

I treated the principal how she was treating me

[pearl remnant]

yeah and it has to start somewhere

[normal cargo]

Kinda obvious rly

[pearl remnant]

you guys are talking like you're jerks because teachers are jerks

[polar steeple]

Bum ass parents

[pearl remnant]

if you want to talk about the golden rule, EXERCISE IT

who cares if others aren't

[polar steeple]

Panda can I be In your class

[pearl remnant]

how can you complain about something you contribute to?

[normal cargo]

I'm not, I'm saying jerks are jerks, not teachers ?. Teachers generally speaking are nice, but like every aspect of life you're gonna run into dicks and some of those dicks are further up the chain than you

[wintry dagger]

😩

[pearl remnant]

if you're done, step away

[pearl remnant]

so what

people can be dicks anywhere any time.

[wintry dagger]

and the one time I was ur calling me an asshole

[polar steeple]

Life was better when we put kids in factories and coal mines

[pearl remnant]

that's cool. what do you want to do about it

[normal cargo]

So like I said, respect goes both ways, if someone's a jerk they can expect to be told to eat shit, which happened at any school or work place I've been in

[pearl remnant]

then start now

crying about other people is doing nothing to help you

i'm done

[normal cargo]

I'm not crying about anyone ?, I'm talking to someone who was jumping to conclusions and used an interaction that took place to prove his point

[wintry dagger]

<@&750150305383186585> I rlly dont know how it spiraled to this

[polar steeple]

Lmfao

[wintry dagger]

haha so funny school trying to fuck up a childs career

[pearl remnant]

I think it was when we tried to justify swearing at educators

talking about respect, lmfao

[normal cargo]

*people who refuse to acknowledge their mistake

[pearl remnant]

that would include you here as well

[normal cargo]

How so ?

[polar steeple]

If anything they were trying to help you by teaching you a lesson about actually working to achieve things

[wintry dagger]

the educator was being an asshole in the situation and im not gonna let a principal fuck up me going to college

[pearl remnant]

just go reread the chat log if you want to ask how so

[polar steeple]

But you swerved right past that

[pearl remnant]

there are always going to be people who can get in your way if you piss them off

you are failing that lesson

[normal cargo]

Maybe you can point out something specific ?, Cos my main narrative was if someone's a dick to you, you can expect a dick response back

[pearl remnant]

no,i don't think i will

[manic torrent]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor

[normal cargo]

Well maybe you can attack the narrative ?

[polar steeple]

No

Both of you are hopeless

[wintry dagger]

no, you were blaming me, saying I fucked up when I didnt, saying I actually got Fs when I have proof I have good grades

[pearl remnant]

i did. I commented on sweating wasn't justified and you have only how you feel as your justification

[manic torrent]

Most people are incompetent, not malicious

[polar steeple]

You're speaking to adults about respect and failing the lesson like panda said

[pearl remnant]

and you went on to talk about respect in the same breath

liek you can't even hear yourself

[normal cargo]

So your problem is with swearing ?

[manic torrent]

two types of respect - respect for authority, and respect as a person. They are not the same.

[polar steeple]

Bingo bingo bingo

[pearl remnant]

I've blocked and am moving on. That's disappointing

[normal cargo]

And I think we can agree that respect goes both ways ?

[wintry dagger]

yes but when a person is actively fucking shit up just bc they're higher up in the chain doesnt mean they have the right to treat you like nothing

[manic torrent]

yes, but that doesn't mean much

[normal cargo]

Well it means a lot if the authority figure screws you over through not performing their duties

[manic torrent]

I find it extremely hard to believe that this was malice

because it's much more easily explained by leaving thing blank accidentally

[pearl remnant]

@manic torrent Bro, this is not LTT related

[wintry dagger]

well ur gonna have to believe it

[pearl remnant]

We need to let that cesspool be it's own thing. We don't need it here

[wintry dagger]

ironic coming from you

[normal cargo]

Lol after arguing about it for like 30 mins

[manic torrent]

ah, to be young.

[pearl remnant]

I stopped after I realized you two were going to talk in circles attempting to justify being jerks, yes

knock it off

[normal cargo]

Hey I asked you to bring up some specific examples or to attack the narrative I presented, you didn't wanna so left it be

[wintry dagger]

like I said I have nothing to hide, I only fucked up once and I admitted fault, I have proof I get good grades, like I have tons of proof and yet you still blame me for the situation

[wintry dagger]

[dusty raft]

I added money to my steam wallet and went to purchase a game and there was no option to use my steam wallet

[manic torrent]

it does it automagically. Also - perhaps the transaction isn't finalised?

[normal cargo]

They got a rule where you needed to have made a purchase in the last 6 months ?

I seem to remember that

[dusty raft]

the game is less than the funds in my steam wallet

[polar steeple]

It should have been the default option on the checkout page

[dusty raft]

I wanna purchase a game not an ingame item

[polar steeple]

It is in the US at least

[dusty raft]

im in the usa

it goes to visa

[polar steeple]

Are you sure you actually added the steam wallet funds

[dusty raft]

yes

[polar steeple]

Then you should contact steam support because you're experiencing a malfunction

[pearl remnant]

yeah, support

[dusty raft]

how do I check my steam wallet

Or

Click the drop down next to your username

And select "account details"

I made the purchase on my visa card I got the notification that I spent the money the money is out of my account but no steam funds added

[plush rivet]

Are you going to use it for gaming

Contact steam

[polar steeple]

Yeah, Steam Support on this

Steam is super good at support so you should be perfectly fine

Any suggestions for a laptop for such work . I am a programmer and cyber sec dude so need plenty of virtual machines and all

Like this use-case? This person is running a lot of things on their surface like autocad

[manic torrent]

sorry let me clarify

[plush rivet]

Teams unironically takes up a ton of resources for no reason

[manic torrent]

you get to choose between running teams, and doing other things. You don't get to do both.

Ironically, you can run teams in a browser, and it will be fine.

[pearl remnant]

I haven't heard of this

can you point me to some readin that validates this claim?

[manic torrent]

.... everyone that's ever used teams?

[pearl remnant]

This

I administrate Teams for my company of 400 users

[manic torrent]

yeah when I run teams on my 5700x/3080ti it's fine, no problems 😄

[pearl remnant]

So, nothing for me to read or see on this subject?

Just something is should know?

honestly if you're a teams administrator and you don't know that teams app performs like hot garbage

that's on you

laptop -> on fire. CPU-> on fire. RAM-> gone. crashes->sometimes.

[pearl remnant]

I need a technet or something

[golden talon]

what apps?

[pearl remnant]

I need more than hearsay

[manic torrent]

literally every other person I have ever talked to about using teams agrees, I have never needed a reference for it running like ass

[pearl remnant]

that's still hearsay

[manic torrent]

indeed

[pearl remnant]

I need something concrete

[manic torrent]

ok great, I don't have it

[pearl remnant]

cool

[manic torrent]

and I'm not going to get it for you

[pearl remnant]

It's literally your claim

what the hell is going on with people

[manic torrent]

.... and again, the claim of every other user I've ever spoken to

[pearl remnant]

which in this conversation, I don't know those people

[manic torrent]

and I wasn't aware it was controversial

[pearl remnant]

So, hearsay

I'm not saying its controversal

I am asking to see something from an actual source

since when was it an issue to ask for facts?

[manic torrent]

when I say "omg teams runs like ass", 100% of the time otehr than right now the answer is "omg right?" not "omg cite your sources"

google for "teams is a giant piece of shit that hates you"

[pearl remnant]

this is lame

no, I'm done

[leaden sail]

Some weird apps the company provides

[golden talon]

what are they called?

[pearl remnant]

I have zero time or respect for that type of behavior

[manic torrent]

.... that type of behaviour?

[leaden sail]

Idk I applied and their quest was u have. Ama or windows as they order windows

[manic torrent]

I'm telling you something I've directly observed and correlated.

Your response is you don't believe me.

[pearl remnant]

yes

and I asked for where I could read about it

[manic torrent]

ok great, I don't care.

[pearl remnant]

because if i believed everything i read online

[golden talon]

Ask what apps they use. I highly doubt there there are any IT apps that require windows that arent available on mac

[pearl remnant]

you suck, bob

[normal cargo]

Making friends today ain't we ?

[pearl remnant]

no, added to the list

[manic torrent]

... this isn't "everything you read online", this is me, right here right now.

[pearl remnant]

adios

[normal cargo]

Lol

[manic torrent]

hahahaha

oh nooooooooooooosssss,

Bless

[leaden sail]

Will do

[pearl remnant]

Why are we recommending mac?

[golden talon]

we arent, i am

feel free to recommend something else

[pearl remnant]

i'm alright. why would you recommend a mac to this person for their mentioned use-casE?

personal preference or is there a technical reason?

[golden talon]

Because macbooks do portability/school the best

[pearl remnant]

in which metric?

[plush rivet]

M2 is one of the best laptop chips on the market rn

[pearl remnant]

I agree, its also more expensive

so I'm thinking about the right fit for the use case

[plush rivet]

👍

[golden talon]

its the most portable, has the best battery life, the best build quality, incredibly easy to use

[plush rivet]

Yeah it’s still a stupid amount of money

[wintry dagger]

m2 is made by apple

[pearl remnant]

ease of use is subjective

[plush rivet]

1.5 times detail , 16 times the size of fallout 4

[pearl remnant]

my dell inspiron is portable and I charge it once a week, using it daily for admin work

[frail pecan]

I'm happily using a mac because I find it to get in my way the least, less than Windows in any case. But the discussion itself is futile. Some prefer one, some the other and that's fine

[golden talon]

its optimization allows things to run with less energy and its just overall a nicer experience imo

[pearl remnant]

nicer experience is subjecctive

[golden talon]

thats why i said imo

[pearl remnant]

I prefer lenovo thinkpads

A dell inspiron was like 1200

[golden talon]

but objectively you just enjoy the better build quality and the best battery life in one of the most portable and slim packages

[plush rivet]

I mean you get good build quality it’s not like you pay 1500 and it’s trash

it’s rlly preference

[golden talon]

its certainly better than the XPS

[pearl remnant]

I don't have a problem with the build quality of my dell. how is the build quality betteR?

[golden talon]

completely aluminum chassis and construction

[pearl remnant]

i am sitting next to a dell inspiron and a 15" macbook pro

[tired glade]

And on which is Discord?

[pearl remnant]

My desktop optiplex

[tired glade]

Design sound fine

[plush rivet]

It was more of a way saying you do get what your moneys worth

[tired glade]

Oh,non of them

[pearl remnant]

I don't see the need for a macbook over a dell unless you specifically want the mac OS

[plush rivet]

It’s not like you pay all that money to get dirt

[tired glade]

Maybe

[tired glade]

Isn't keyboard better on Macbook?

[golden talon]

yeah

i daily drove an inspiron before my macbook and the magic keyboard is way better

[tired glade]

It like phone nowadays,you looking for gimmick you like

[pearl remnant]

looking, at both right now. No, they look the same and my dell includes a 10 key

[golden talon]

saw nearly a +20 WPM improvement

[pearl remnant]

I think thats user preference, not the machine

[golden talon]

but then again i am a professional typist so keyboard is of utmost importance

[tired glade]

10key?

[pearl remnant]

google

[sullen saddle]

[golden talon]

i got the $100 magic keyboard standalone for my desktop setup asw

it changes the game for me

[tired glade]

Online math test?

[pearl remnant]

that's because you personally prefer it. not because it is superior

[golden talon]

its universally agreed by those who use it

[pearl remnant]

no

I will not accept surveys

[golden talon]

you dont have to

[pearl remnant]

Why do people always resort to people say this or people say that instead of quantifiable meansurements?

[golden talon]

okay lets take quantifiable measurements

[pearl remnant]

it's ok to have preferences

[tired glade]

I can't find it, what's 10 key is

[golden talon]

lets compare performance between a competing XPS and a m2 macbook air which are the same price bracket

[pearl remnant]

Dear god.

[pearl remnant]

I thought we were talking about keyboards

[tired glade]

Oh num pad

[golden talon]

Youre talking about quantifiable things which keyboards are clearly not

[pearl remnant]

of course they aren't

[golden talon]

so i changed the topic to quantifiable benchmarks

[pearl remnant]

yes, the m2 is a superior chip

[tired glade]

Wait,is M1 just 10w?

[golden talon]

yes

[pearl remnant]

but for the person you were suggesting a macbook too, you don't know if that's overkill

[tired glade]

Lol, arm hits hard

[pearl remnant]

its based on your personal preference

[golden talon]

the battery life test is the next quantifiable part

[pearl remnant]

you're not even listening anymore

[tired glade]

And MacOs looks kinda weird

[golden talon]

They said the need portability for school, so I gave them the best laptop for it

[pearl remnant]

you gave them overkill

[frail pecan]

So is your opinion. Does it matter that both opinions are subjective? No, that's fine Let everyone go with what they enjoy :)

[golden talon]

You dont know that

[pearl remnant]

you didn't right size it

[tired glade]

Oh, AMD laptops can be that cheaper

[pearl remnant]

you don't know that either then

[golden talon]

They didnt specify, so I gave them the best

[pearl remnant]

you just said GO TOP OF THE LINE right off the bat

[golden talon]

Id rather recommend the best than something lower tier

Yes of course I did

[pearl remnant]

lol that's bad advising then

[tired glade]

If collage software works on mac

[golden talon]

They went along with it

[golden talon]

It does, I use mine for uni

[pearl remnant]

If I behaved like you did as a sysadmin, I wouldn't be a sysadmin very long

[golden talon]

You cant compare sysadmin work to a fucking discord lmao

[tired glade]

It's still gamble

[golden talon]

Not really

[pearl remnant]

that doesn't make sense

[golden talon]

all my apps work on my macbook

if not natively, through rosetta

[pearl remnant]

Opinionated people are EXHAUSTING

[rugged bridge]

blue name >

[golden talon]

its almost like everyone has an opinion

[frail pecan]

You are opinionated as well, everyone has an opinion :) And as I've said, that's alright

[karmic bane]

mmm opinions

[plush rivet]

Welcome to the entire tech industry

[golden talon]

and im obliged to share mine as a part of my recommendation

[frail pecan]

Hello fellow blue name

[rugged bridge]

hi there other fellow blue name 👋

[pearl remnant]

alright, join the IT workforce

[rocky plinth]

I just bought it

[pearl remnant]

good luck with this mentality

[golden talon]

Its pretty crazy how ive been in the IT work force for a couple years already

[plush rivet]

Lol

[pearl remnant]

you're going to have a budget and staff to equip. You can't just throw top of the line things at the users

[plush rivet]

It’s not like the entire point of tech is to influence peoples opinion to use your product

[pearl remnant]

you're going to equip like half of them like this

[arctic raft]

I did it to it took me 1 hour of trying just to be able to buy it the whole steam page was extremally laggy when it came out.

[tired glade]

Wait, isn't that point of an ad?

[golden talon]

The dude didnt even specify a budget

[pearl remnant]

what is your metric for good? The person didn't complain back?

[plush rivet]

Wow you got it!

[pearl remnant]

not hard in the consumer space

[tired glade]

Where is my cookie cut?

[plush rivet]

It rlly isnt, a 2011 laptop could be considered top of the line to a grandma

[pearl remnant]

was he still successful?

[manic torrent]

hahahahahahahhahahahahaha, oh man

[pearl remnant]

sounds like the issue was you wanting to be included, not the build

[tired glade]

What's most popular gpu right now?

[pearl remnant]

1070?

[golden talon]

1660 iirc

[vapid smelt]

some apu

[karmic bane]

1060

[golden talon]

1060 was overthrown

[tired glade]

Oh

[vapid smelt]

1650

[pearl remnant]

that's what i said

[tired glade]

Oh,even 1650

[golden talon]

1650 lmfaoooo

[karmic bane]

lol

[tired glade]

Is 1650 faster than 1060?

[pearl remnant]

more of an interpersonal issue than tech issue

[plush rivet]

Yes
