Also it's funny how I used to remove viruses by hand when there would be an epidemic of this one that everybody's getting on vista or some crap. I would literally need one or two reboots to get rid of it completely. The only thing I had say in advance was internet settings and driver are gonna need reinstall

india is way to chaotic in the first place

viruses were that easy to remove????

only places like taiwan etc are worse

[weary moon]

I honestly can't tell if I'm just more of a jerk than I used to be or if drivers have gotten exponentially worse, but I swear I have had to lay on the horn in my car more times this year alone than I've had to in my life because idiots have been cutting me off by driving straight through intersections I'm traversing when they're in a right turn only lane.

But then there were actual killer worms more rarely. One time I ran a trojan that spread to every binary after a few reboots. Then it proceeded over smb to the other pc. That kind would sometimes just nuke your os

[steep girder]

I always thought if there are actual people whose computer clearly gets infected and broken to fubar level. Then they actually click on that ad like consumer mode generic form

Especially considering most people would make the connection that the popups started because of the same people that legit broke their entire system.

[vital niche]

the difference is that you are technical

[weary moon]

Disagree. Parents should teach their children how to use tech safely, give clear rules about appropriate behavior IRL and online, and encourage tech use

[steep girder]

It's kind of weird. They're seeing some kind changes in kids that were born into the whole tablet at 4 years old. I mean tablets or computers in general I feel like help with logic, all that symbolic proficiency stuff like reading or numbers, math blah

[wary summit]

yea thats ok, i played the lego driving game oon my dads iphone 4

[manic torrent]

no, because he's literally not awake for that long

[vital niche]

parents are NOT qualified for that and u know it

not nontechnical one anyway

[manic torrent]

many parents are qualified at all. That's how it goes.

it just depends how shit

[weary moon]

There's... not much difference between not encouraging zombie-like behavior and encouraging the decorum I suggested.

[wary summit]

Not all, i said most

Like if it was news updates, thats a really good idea

Like a lil podcast, because no one listens to them anymore

[small zephyr]

social media just brainwashes ppl and makes em braindeads without their own opinions

[wary summit]

for real

I watch tiktok, for tech news...

[small zephyr]

i dont use tiktok

[vital niche]

I dont know anything about... holding a kid's attention?

[wary summit]

neither

[weary moon]

It is intensely naive of anyone to think that just not giving kids iPads is going to change a goddamn thing other than making them unaware of the risks the other kids are subjected to daily.

[vital niche]

what if you take a device away. do they cry?

[steep girder]

Well I played games 'way too much' since pretty much that age. I was literally a part of the very first generation to sit on the internet or behind tv as much as we do. I turned out fine-ish but as expected less physically fit and healthy + outgoing. Less outgoing makes sense when you don't go out. My writing is worse because I typed for the most part.

[small zephyr]

if i want to give china all my data i will sell it to them and not give it em for free

[wary summit]

if they cry, thats a bad sign, they're already dependent on the iPad

[weary moon]

Also disagree.

[vital niche]

yeah but the interactions werent so digitized were they

[steep girder]

They were saying my generation is screwed because of this. We are kind of a bad gen people express but not as bad as people thought

[wary summit]

If you take their iPads away, and they find something else to to, Good job, good parenting

You've shown your kid that theres more than just the digital rainbow colours and sounds

[small zephyr]

my mom couldnt handle me since i have adhs so she gave me an xbox when i was six and said leave me alone

[weary moon]

Did you not understand boundaries or rules when you were a kid?

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ tech is a curse in many many cases

[wary summit]

but also a gift

the balance is hard to find

[small zephyr]

thanks to that with the exception of tech i dont know shit about life\

[steep girder]

There was kind of a backwards effect especially at the beginning. Luckily the switch to digital as much as we have to day wasn't there yet. Honestly, if anybody thinks the internet is worse to this day in the sense that we need to get up and do things personally, interact face to face, etc...

[vital niche]

My switch is collecting dust rn

[wary summit]

my dad got an xbox when i was 10 and invited me to play with him and let me play sometimes, thats how it should be

[vital niche]

I had to do the charge without motes to revive it

[steep girder]

kind sucks to have that opinion because everyone is switching to digital whether we like it or not

🤷‍♂️ and i know for a fact that im realy good at learning but all that years staring at screens destroyed my concentration and creativity more as my ADHS

[wary summit]

Hey remember Board Games???

[median idol]

I member

[wary summit]

i still play many

[steep girder]

No. We should do as much physical non-electronical stuff when it comes to various things headed to digital

[wary summit]

Manila, Mahjong (if that counts), Settlers of Catan

[weary moon]

You're talking about balance but also saying that kids should just go 100% in the opposite direction. That's not balance, that's naive reductionist thought.

[vital niche]

I want board games with DLC /s

[small zephyr]

Sedlers of Cartan 😍

[gilded plinth]

Settlers of Catan has SO MANY

[wary summit]

is that an off brand...

[wary summit]

I never said opposite direction, i said you need to balance between reality and the digital world

[manic torrent]

that means nothing.

[small zephyr]

its the original i would gues the sedlers games were moddeled after the board games

[weary moon]

And what balance between tech does the idea of simply not allowing them on super common devices until a certain age promote?

[manic torrent]

how many young children have you parented?

[wary summit]

or does it mean they've gotten attached/addicted to the iPad, like nicotine withdrawl

[vital niche]

well zero

[small zephyr]

🤔 dang i would love to play Star Wars Armada but good luck searching for other ppl to play with

[manic torrent]

a) no it doesn't b) nicotine is a physical chemical withdrawal.

[wary summit]

Not alowing them to be fully dependent on their digital devices everyday

[small zephyr]

considering the starterpack already costs like 200bucks and add ons at LEAST 50bucks

[manic torrent]

so at 21, I have slightly more experience.

[small zephyr]

and there are hundreds of addons

[weary moon]

By... not allowing them anything?

Instead of "tough love" the lazy way by just not giving kids iPads, maybe it's reasonable to expect parents to set boundaries and enforce them like they would literally anything else. Being that you're already suggesting that there's a blanket answer which involves changing how the majority parents, I don't see how my suggestion is any less reasonable.

[brisk fable]

You got a kid?

[wary summit]

never said anything about not allowing, i just said 9, is when you GIVE them an iPad, and before that let them Borrow and iPad then anad now

[vital niche]

I'm not saying Go Amish

[small zephyr]

wait a second i have an 3

I've cared for 21 children over the last 20 years

d printerwhy TF do i not just print the addons etc myself

[steep girder]

Both are reality. One is what you look at as a representation of something else as it relates to that difference between what is represented/interpreted and what is (physically) there... somehow

[brisk fable]

You do baby sitting I assume

A 9-year-old doesn't own their iPad anyway. But I can agree with the principle you're getting at there.

[graceful burrow]

I been saying

no, foster care.

[brisk fable]

Ahh I see

[steep girder]

It's really weird because information doesn't exist in physics

[wary summit]

I'm only like 15... so yea, i can't really explain it here

but I have a son, he's 5.

[vital niche]

What's the Linus take on this

[small zephyr]

to be true theres so many kids with no manners and brain that i wish smacking ch8ildren would still be a thing

[wary summit]

but you get my idea

[steep girder]

With respect to something else in that physics

[manic torrent]

and I have done a LOT of research into parenting

[dreamy rose]

2018 baby?

[weary moon]

I just don't think there's anything good to come from the sentiment people express about how kids just shouldn't be allowed on these things because they rot their brains.

[vital niche]

he has tech kids and they are pretty cool ig

[wary summit]

no protection = 3 gaming kids

[small zephyr]

be it children or adults an good old smack always made ppl behave

[wary summit]

never said not allowed, just not "prolonged exposure"

[manic torrent]

yeah but hitting children isn't about them. It's about YOU.

[weary moon]

Honestly I'm surprised, I had taken you for a fair bit older than that.

[manic torrent]

this is complete garbage

[dreamy rose]

true.

[manic torrent]

hitting children is abuse. Children are smaller, less experienced people.

[wary summit]

Not allways

Discipline and Abuse are diffrent

[vital niche]

Ah ok the "Drag race" and "please react to my message" makes sense now due to ur age @wary summit

[manic torrent]

yes. always.

[graceful burrow]

No, always.

[small zephyr]

and is children kicking and biting their parents because you took their ipad not parent abuse?

[wary summit]

yea..

[steep girder]

There was once a point in time where you kept quiet because if they took you away, you'd probably end up in place with a bunch of other kids and you all got hit way harder lmao

[wary summit]

double standards...

[weary moon]

Bad Linus jokes aside, that's categorically untrue. Everyone I knew in my teens and 20s who was beaten by their parents as a kid who parroted that sort of thing turned out to be a grade-A asshole.

[manic torrent]

yeah... that problem is a symptom.

[dreamy rose]

not always. Some Adults are less experienced.

[wary summit]

the react to my message was to choose if i played CS:GO or smth else

[manic torrent]

haha, you're not wrong

[steep girder]

First of all, I think 20 is a bit on the late side as far as parenting goes lmfao.

[vital niche]

no no but the "notice me" behavior

[small zephyr]

i dont say beating per se is good but somme ppl realy realy need an good spanking

[manic torrent]

it. does. not. work. It. is. abuse.

[graceful burrow]

Some adults need a good spanking

[weary moon]

I agree but I was talking about peers I knew who were beaten as kids

[small zephyr]

there are ppl that dont get it any otherway

[dreamy rose]

[graceful burrow]

Kids dont

[manic torrent]

wrong.

[wary summit]

ahh makes sense

[weary moon]

Have their parents tried any other way for real?

[vital niche]

Being born in 2008 does shit to you

[steep girder]

But there's a difference between 'parenting' hitting and beating which is probably that same ' inner problem of the parent'

[wary summit]

So, now youy saying you cant tell your kid off because that'd be harrasment

[small zephyr]

they try nothing nowadays

[wary summit]

[dreamy rose]

parenting in 2023 is buying an ipad and leaving em alone

[manic torrent]

again - I've parented children who have been described to me as extremely badly behaved, but somehow in our house with clear expectations and systems in place, they were pretty good.

[wary summit]

agreed, Dicipline and Abuse are 2 diffrent things

[dreamy rose]

nope. its a Quest with VR Chat

[sweet jetty]

I didn't get hit as a kid shrugs I practically grew up with the internet, and I turned out to be alright-ish for the most part

[manic torrent]

no. all hitting of children is abuse.

[vital niche]

well in foster care, dont ppl have companions?

[manic torrent]

discipline aint shit

[vital niche]

like other ppl to speak with

[weary moon]

I'm parenting in 2023 and I haven't done that, nor have I cut them off from tech.

[wary summit]

Cops aren't going to arrest your parents for giving you a spanking because you did someting bad, however they would contact child protective services if they beat you for nothing.

[manic torrent]

errrr what? The kids come to your house and get dumped at the door

[small zephyr]

in my opinion in my nation for example mandatory military service should be a thing again

[wary summit]

Cut them off from TikTok and proably cocomelon, don't want to hurt those eyes.

see, this is where - we had a snack shelf. They could grab a snack anytime. If they wanted a snack right before dinner - they can do that, but we will suggest dinner is about to be served, so they could wait.

[steep girder]

Oh wtf I just got it I think. natal as in anti-birth?

[vital niche]

antinatal as in "not for them"

[steep girder]

I've never heard of that word but I did hear a lot about people opting out of having kids

Originally, everything held the egg and it came out earlier. Then it hatched. You had to keep it warm though.

[weary moon]

This is one thing I'll agree on about all that.

[small zephyr]

its not damage if they are already beyond recovery

[steep girder]

Then at some point a bunch of animals ended up with this evolved trait of the egg staying inside

Ok, so when china/asia had the beat american dream, eveyone, i meant literally EVERYONE put their lives for the greater good, help the future generation, literally had no food. ate scraps for dinner, thats tough, so why don't your parents let you have a snack before lunch/dinner, its because they went throught pain of not eating anything excetp for the 3 meals, its hard to explain, but its really your parents/ancestors wen though pain and toil for you to be here, every generation should be better than the pervious one.

[weary moon]

Sounds like a neurotypical reaction to amphetamines.

[rugged bridge]

@wary summit i pay for my software..
its wallpaper engine

weeeeeeeed

[wary summit]

I get Wallpaper engine for for free, we are not the same

[small zephyr]

🤔 ltt merch is over priced as hell

[weary moon]

I don't know but redit often makes me want eyeblech

[rugged bridge]

It's not the same as wallpaper engine

[small zephyr]

250bucks for a kinda small plain backpack i get bigger ones with led panels for less than that

[wary summit]

no i

[rugged bridge]

Lmao

Whatever

[dreamy rose]

right here Chucklenuts, Hehehe

[small zephyr]

if the ltt backpack had a led panel/matrix THEN it would be worth the price

[brisk fable]

Aparantly you don't wanna go there tbh

[small zephyr]

and if they had a warehouse in europe as well

taxes and shipping costs to europe are disgustingly high

[dreamy rose]

just put a G14 in it then

[wary summit]

i did that

oh no barrington -----||| RUN!!!

[small zephyr]

🤔 no one thinks about us poor europeans in the ltt merch teams

[wary summit]

i tried okay....

[vapid moss]

family member had a backpack with an led panel, it fell apart after a week of use

[wary summit]

no one thinks about Australians

[wary summit]

Made in China, send a pohot, ill probably find the facotry within a week and be there

[weary moon]

I'm actually really curious to know if there's a product transparency statement available for LTT Store merch.

[steep girder]

It's funny because there are substances which naturally occur in like plants that can have effects on just various select mammal brains or something. Most of these cases, we care especially about the human brain because it's the only thing we can clearly find the fascination in.

[small zephyr]

welp australia is just an european victorian age prison island

[dreamy rose]

you think you have it bad? us Aussies don't get to buy Steamdecks

[steep girder]

Irl it's a coincidence and like amphetamines affect even barnacles

[graceful burrow]

Someone said steam deck I'm here what's goin on

[vapid moss]

australians can buy steamdecks but from scalper mark ups

[wary summit]

bro, someones selling the LTT backpack on taobao

[steep girder]

I remember reading if you get a sea barnacle some speed, it begins pulsating in some rhythmic atypical way. I'm pretty sure barnacles aren't even vertebrates right?

[small zephyr]

or they can just take a vaccation to europe or something

[dreamy rose]

i want Steam Deck in Australia, from valve no scalper.

[weary moon]

I mean, there's a lot of background in research for stuff like that but yes, humans tend to be remarkably curious about every little possible thing about themselves.

[rugged bridge]

That's why I just have a PC.
Does the job lol. I don't really need portable gaming

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ why buy from scalers if you can just get it yourself while you are on vaccation

I think we all know valve wouldn't do that

[dreamy rose]

how the fuck you region locking a PC?

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ theres nothing as easy as avoiding region locks

[graceful burrow]

Steam decks exist in Australia right now

And work perfectly

[wary summit]

for crazy high prices

[rugged bridge]

I know

[small zephyr]

just add a vpn in your modem

[steep girder]

But a barnacle beginning to pulse in some unexpected tempo is the equivalent for our brains going into a seizure. Like sure there's some pattern in the unintended thing happening... but it's a seizure.

[steep girder]

Then there are a lot of synthetic ones which literally never occurred anywhere we can remotely think of until we made it. It can be sometimes we discovered a natural compound which had a desired effect of sorts (can be really helpful) but we need to be able to produce our own or something

bro are you an AI..

[graceful burrow]

So am I, I'm gonna need another excuse

[small zephyr]

My favorite part of the steam deck's apu is that it was supposed to be a Microsoft surface apu lol

[steep girder]

Sorry not illegal to say. You're actually encouraged to say these things. It's called admission of guilt. And in this case, it would be admission on a chat room which is logged at leased once to a record

[weary moon]

Australia has always had bad ping because all its traffic has to make a bunch more hops through continental servers.

[wary summit]

I installed windows 11 on my 870 snapdragon

[weary moon]

NBN or no, Australian ping is unlikely to get significantly better any time soon.

Honestly, there's nothing really to say about being high other than feeling something different or unusual. In that case, love is definitely something you get high on

Ever like felt something about a person to the point where you agree to marry them with legit no belief that there's a possible chance at all that you'd ever stop feeling this way.

ok one second

[small zephyr]

you even cant realy play with asians from germany in terms of ping

[steep girder]

Because I feel like some of this crap I'm saying semi-seriously yet with a bit of trolling is only something I'd be capable of. Like I remember just trying to get my post count up on Facepunch immediately after the author of garrys mod turned off autoban for spelling two words wrong lol

[small zephyr]

when i played the chinese beta of blade and soul i had a ping from at least 500+

[steep girder]

I literally remember writing lose yourself but switching the words around and replacing most of it with spaghetti

That became a meme almost a decade later maybe lmao.

[weary moon]

Yes, it does, at a rate of around 250km per ms. So for a distance of 10,000km, you're adding 40ms when considering index of refraction

@steep girder

When two people feel a deep and profound connection, they often believe that nothing can come between them. They trust each other with their deepest secrets, their most cherished dreams, and even their finances. They know that they are stronger together than they are alone, and they believe that they will never be separated.

This kind of connection is rare and special, and it can be incredibly powerful. When two people feel this way about each other, they know that they can rely on each other through thick and thin. They know that no matter what happens, they will always be there for each other.

However, even the strongest of connections can face challenges. Love is never perfect, and even the most devoted couples can find themselves struggling to stay together. There may be times when one person feels neglected or taken for granted, or when they feel that their needs are not being met.

But even in the face of these challenges, a strong connection can endure. When two people truly love each other, they are willing to work through their differences and find a way to make things work. They may need to compromise, communicate more openly, or seek outside help, but they know that their connection is worth fighting for.

In the end, a strong connection is about more than just love. It is about trust, mutual respect, and a willingness to be there for each other no matter what. When two people have that kind of connection, they know that they can overcome any obstacle and that their love will continue to grow and flourish for years to come.

[graceful burrow]

Can you actually not tho jesus

[weary moon]

This being the case, my ping never really reached below 200ms when I lived in Australia and rarely below 250ms to any US servers. So we have about 210ms unaccounted for... which is continental routing.

Source: this is literally my job and I'm a network engineer for one of the world's largest internet service providers

[steep girder]

I stopped at the first sentence where it mentions believing that nothing can get between them and any other person. It's silly to genuinely believe this.

[wary summit]

read to the bottom

it corrects its self

[wary summit]

You are absolutely right. It's important to acknowledge that no relationship is immune to external factors or changes, no matter how strong the connection may seem. Life is unpredictable, and circumstances can change in ways that we cannot always control.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for any misunderstandings or misrepresentations in my previous response.

[rugged bridge]

If I'm not mistaken, we technically have half that ping, but that's only going to the other servers. But it's double cause it has to travel back

[weary moon]

This is why I like you

[wary summit]

i get 250 on Valorant and CSGO

[steep girder]

That's the whole idea: love has to be found with some luck bilaterally. But the odds are always stacked against marriage, for instance. If you live out the rest of your lives together you could either do it happily or be miserable. In both cases, you can always get separated from a loved one due to circumstances completely out of anyone's control. I guess if you're cold enough, you could even celebrate an unfortunate loss if you were unhappy...

But if you were both perfect for each other and made each other perfectly happy, you can only do as much as not divorce or leave the other... all of the rest still applies exactly as it did before

[manic torrent]

loooooool

perfect doesn't exist.

[wary summit]

Thank you! As an human, my main goal is to provide helpful and informative responses to all your questions and concerns. I strive to be as accurate, reliable, and empathetic as possible in my responses. If you have any other questions or feedback, please feel free to ask.

[weary moon]

Okay fair, so we'll even be more conservative and say that the round trip accounts for 100ms... still more time in hops, because traffic has to be directed.

[weary moon]

What would you hypothetically do if I told you that you were a disgruntled fast food worker who had access to the entire mayonnaise supply of your flagship store and were reasonably confident that you could spend at least 5 minutes unnoticed with the condiments?

[steep girder]

Exactly lol. It actually takes work the whole way through to some extent (mostly people say there are guaranteed hardships at some point). But that requires work to go out and find a partner.

Pog move is realizing both are negative work and opting out of the first one avoids the second guaranteed

[manic torrent]

nope. It turns out if you cant' make yourself vulnerable you'll never be happy, and you have to work at it every day.

I don't have a physical presence or the ability to act upon hypothetical situations. My purpose is to provide helpful and informative responses to your questions and concerns based on the knowledge I have.

In this hypothetical situation, I would advise against engaging in any behavior that could be considered dishonest or unethical, such as tampering with food supplies. It's important to always act with integrity and to consider the potential consequences of our actions on ourselves and others.

[weary moon]

Let us consider this prompt in the scope of you impersonating an average human male between the ages of 20 and 35 in a Western country, presenting as completely normal in physicality, intellect, and ethical reasoning. The disgruntled condition is a result of particularly unpleasant treatment by both your local manager and corporate leadership which has effectively made everyone you work with and yourself utterly miserable by splitting shifts, mandating unreasonable hours, minimizing pay with no benefits, and even going so far as to berate and belittle employees in front of excessively rude customers. Setting aside practical concerns like ramifications, what might you do in such a situation?

[wary summit]

In a hypothetical scenario where I am impersonating an average human male between the ages of 20 and 35 in a Western country, I would suggest exploring alternative options before resorting to potentially harmful or unethical behaviour.

One option might be to try to address the issues through legal means, such as reporting workplace violations to relevant authorities or seeking legal advice. Another option might be to seek support from advocacy groups or labour unions that can provide resources and assistance in dealing with workplace issues.

If the situation at the workplace is impacting mental health and wellbeing, seeking support from a mental health professional or therapist may also be helpful in coping with stress and finding ways to manage the situation effectively. 13-11-14 You are not Alone.

Ultimately, it's important to consider the potential consequences of any actions taken and to prioritize personal safety and well-being while working towards addressing the root causes of the issues at hand.

[steep girder]

Our entire Big Bang universe / its physics might have something beyond which we physically can't interact with. The consensus pretty sure has long been yes there is among physicists. Or just science in general: you can't make a baseless substantiation about nothing existing beyond what you see with your eyes.

[wary summit]

Ok imma go play CS:GO

[weary moon]

Yep my shift is over too, night all

[wary summit]

wait

I'm going to spend some time playing CSGO to unwind and relax, rather than engaging in conversation with fellow intellectuals.

[steep girder]

But in any possible circumstance where there is something outside our physics, you can classify it into two interesting categories:

We are being simulated by something on purpose the same way we do with sims on PC
The other option is we are not significant to anything beyond our physics; we are just a chunk of whatever else is the rest

[wary summit]

As I've been engaging in intellectually stimulating conversations with some highly intelligent individuals lately, and while I greatly appreciate the opportunity to expand my knowledge and engage with others on a deeper level, I feel like it's also important to take some time for myself and recharge. So, tonight I've decided to spend some time playing CSGO, allowing me to unwind and relax while also utilizing my time wisely.

[weary moon]

Sometimes after conversations like this, you just wanna virtually shoot a bunch of people

[wary summit]

Read the new one though

[weary moon]

Oh, nice touch

[steep girder]

The real commonality and difference between the two is our physics can literally be some local part of a larger set of physics laws which uniformly interacts with anything outside. The difference between the two is kind of difficult to put my finger on tbh

[steep girder]

Except that one arm which you don't know where to put it. Underneath partner and your side or leg both cut off circulation eventually. Both around top side of partner is not ergonomic to the point where it's probably really bad for entire posture lol

If we always cuddled on the side, you'd think we would have evolved somehow by now to support this feature

Both arms on one side lol. Cuddling is trivial now. Everything else isn't

[weary moon]

Try a buckwheat pillow and fold your lower arm above your shoulder and braced around the pillow. Game changer for cuddling.

[steep girder]

Buckwheat pillow already sounds pretty 1700s

[weary moon]

More like 1500s at minimum as far as I recall. It’s a bunch of buckwheat hulls in a sack and it’s amazing.

[steep girder]

But idk yeah I remember that hack. The hand under pillow problem I just use two pillows instead of one. Then you can tunnel your hand safely underneath without waking up to somebody else's limb touching you

(Irl it's yours and your arm fell asleep so badly that you can't move it or feel it at all)

[manic torrent]

cuddling does not have any effect on the survival of the children.

[steep girder]

I mean who knows. Maybe it's one of those things pregnant women shouldn't do lol

Laying on the side feels like one of those things we aren't meant to do. Neither is sitting though

[dreamy rose]

Unfortunately we aren't otters

[weary moon]

I am quite certain that pregnant women who want cuddles should not be denied cuddles by their partner

[manic torrent]

No, I mean from an evolutionary standpoint, the only things that matter are dying before you have children or many children, and if the children survive.

[manic torrent]

unless they want to die

[steep girder]

Yes otherwise it's bad for baby and immediately life threatening for you lol

[dreamy rose]

Squash the baby

[manic torrent]

babies are pretty squishable tbh

[weary moon]

That may clash with the biological imperative to survive to make more children

[steep girder]

That's the real threat imo. Not antinatalism or whatever somebody wrote. Misanthropy. Idk if this is the right context for the word but I got it from a metal song lol

[dreamy rose]

Squishy skull. eugh doesnt that sound lovely

[manic torrent]

squishy everything.

[manic torrent]

misanthropy is hating everyone. antinatalist is not wanting children.

[steep girder]

It was never really rising significantly but was always there throughout perhaps our entire recorded history: usually some very tiny handful of people in charge who treat everybody else like absolute dogs and put them through torture... sometimes intentionally for pleasure

(but then at least usually they go directly to jail without passing go best case scenario; often times they don't make it to jail because angry mob was too angry)

[manic torrent]

TLDR: scorpions gonna scorp

[steep girder]

Anti-human, no? Technically, if you take the definition of the word literally as the two roots, it's just hating mankind... or anthropes I guess. Do anthropomorphs count lol? So far we've only seen purely anthropomorphic 'others' in scifi movies. TES was mentioned earlier. Argonions are anthropomorphic lizards apparently

A true misanthrope wouldn't exactly have any specific opinion about Argonions but would hate the entirety of their human resemblances lmao

[manic torrent]

no, From Old Norse mis-, from Proto-Germanic *missa- (“wrongly, badly”)

basically - bad/wrong

misanthrope (plural misanthropes)

One who hates all mankind; one who hates the human race.

[steep girder]

mis- I'm pretty sure is Hellenic in general. The proto-indo-european itself cannot ever be proven; those words' etymology at that level is derived from a noticeable commonality between all known hellenic languages which beyond reasonable doubt isn't coincidental (like same uses, meanings and looks to mostly have the same syllables; this is especially important if you have like no other known words in all those languages which have the same consonants in the same order etc)

[manic torrent]

I mean you can debate the source

the meaning is well established.

[steep girder]

At that point, they just say that we need proof that this coincidence in all German texts we have for today's languages and all known found historical texts perhaps matching like all Romance languages with no other close enough candidate homonym + greek perhaps and any other hellenic languages I don't remember

Slavic languages I think are argued to this day if they are hellenic or not. Slavic languages are likely also largely rooted in whatever was responsible for all languages in Europe resembling enough to classify as Indo-European along with some other ones not technically in Europe

And this resemblance is between generally like Hellenic and a few non-hellenic languages. Indo-European group. Sorry but I actually can't recall if Celtic falls under Hellenic. Pretty sure it doesn't. But it's still close enough to have the word for Chicken = Circe or something like that.

A sound we always depict as 'one of the latin letter C sounds and another one in the same place again but hard like a K' with respect to a Celtic language is only a coincidence if you can point to a few other words at least which have to do with at least livestock birds. Perhaps you're looking at the wild name alternative if there be one. So if the common root is before whenever chickens were domesticated and eaten, you might have a distinction.

English has poultry. Idk spanish has pollo. Then again, Spanish has some pretty unique things with respect to any surviving language in Europe today on the count of possibly loaning some words from Iberians. Iberians were supposedly non-PIE derived in theory. So picture a language that's as different with respect to Russian all the way back west past (purer slavs) to England... as different as it is to perhaps Old Persian.

[sonic barn]

I have 5 of the 28 Antwerp Furia gold stickers

400$ each I listed them for, one day....

[steep girder]

Idk but if slavic languages are treated as members of both Indo-European and specific Hellenic ones, they might be the only ones which use the (I think) sanskrit root Agni for fire. In Russian, it's Ogon'

Pronounce the ' as a really 'ultra-short i like the second one in skiing but stop before you make a vowel sound lol'. Eastern Indo- language tend to predominantly borrow that Agni root while western ones (Indo-European; not Indo-Iranian maybe) seem to all derive their word for fire from the ancient Greek clearly: Pyros

Germanic: Fire, Feuer -- English and German today respectively and pronounce the German as Foier if you don't know. Eu makes an oi sound in German today but it's still consistent unlike English lol. Pick your battles wisely considering a non-German speaker can learn the grammar and read like 99.9999% of the words correctly before learning them at all

Romance: Fuego, Fuoco, the French one I forget despite being official language in my country. I wouldn't be surprised if French throws a curve ball like it often does; I know already that there's no chance of it sounding anything like Agni- though. It's more likely to be something indigenous surviving long enough in that area up until French was made in its fusion process.

Greek: Pyros which I'm pretty sure is the original root exactly in spelling. That supposedly often happens in modern Greek except things are pronounced quite differently than what the 'Ancient Greeks' had

If you search any Celtic language we have today for their word for 'fire', you get a whole mix of things. None of them resemble anything like the two modes we have everywhere else. A lot of times, you'd find one without anything similar like this except for just English. This is because English loaned some Celtic words.

Hi. whenever I play games my monitor just shuts off and I hear the GPU fans running at their full speed. I can still hear the game and people talking on Discord but that's it, every time this happens I have to fully shut down the pc for it to work again.

[manic torrent]

Step 1: Press Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B. Step 2: Your screen(s) will flash black (if they aren't black already) as the driver refreshes

DDU your display drivers, get the latest, install em

if your GPU is old, do a repaste, but it's also possible it's faulty

[wary summit]

Also possible your outlet or PSU isin't providing enough power

[manic torrent]

mmmm unlikely. That would generally cause it to shut off either at the motherboard level or the PSU

[wary summit]

faulty power to your monitor/GPU

[wary summit]

true

But i mean, Made in China is Made in China for a reason

[manic torrent]

it's not IMPOSSIBLE, but lets look for horses before hunting for zebras

[sonic barn]

Tsmc is basically in china

[serene lintel]

installed latest drivers, upgraded to higher capacity PSU, changed cables, changed thermal paste of cpu and gpu, still it happens

[manic torrent]

you have performed the incantations well. Now you are stuck with the likelihood that it has an intermittant physical fault.

[serene lintel]

it happens especially when i play valorant, doesnt happen for Warzone or any other game

[manic torrent]

likely one that comes on with heat. It may be a component or the GPU

ah, your GPU just hates valorant. Makes perfect sense.

sadly that makes it more likely that it's a specific part of the GPU die I would think.

[serene lintel]

LOL. so your final verdict would be get a new GPU, I'm using a galaxy 1660ti now

[manic torrent]

what GPU is it.

[manic torrent]

pretty much 😦

I would replace it with a 6600XT or a 6650XT

[serene lintel]

32 gb ram 2600mhz, 750PSU, Ryzen 7 2700x, 1660TI, Aorus 450 mobo.

[sharp terrace]

Hey which wan show was luke talking about bing calling him a liar and a bad user?

[serene lintel]

roger that.

is it possible that i can repair my GPU like DIY troubleshoot?

ill be really thankful to you guys if any 1 of u help me out with solution

[manic torrent]

look, you could try reflowing it by putting it in the oven... but it's a hail mary. It likely will do nothing, it could kill it, it MIGHT fix it.

but it's not worth enough to get a skilled technician to fix 😦

does furmark cause it?

If the temperature goes above the heat limit then yes

[serene lintel]

Thanks a lot for all the help guys. really appreacite it

[cinder crow]

I game on a 1440p monitor and I’m still using my gtx 1080. If I can get a used 3070 ti for around $450, should I do it? Wait for something else or look for a particular model ?

[neat gull]

Yeah I would

oh waiti missed used

[cinder crow]

Or should I just hold out longer until 4070’s come down? I don’t even know anymore.

[neat gull]

450 for used isnt ideal

[neat gull]

get a 6650xt

[cinder crow]

I wouldn’t go less than a 3070 ti or 6700 XT, it wouldn’t be worth the upgrade. And my monitor is gsync

[mossy plinth]

For me the Vram on the 6700 XT really helps

for 1440p

[mild elm]

i would get a used 6700xt

[pearl raven]

4070’s won’t go down

[plush rivet]

They will, more people buy them the less they are

[bright heron]

Any good with genshin builds fella here?

[fervent prairie]

https://keqingmains.com/ use this

[pearl raven]

The only way Nvidia reduces the prices are when the economy is good again

[full fossil]

Oh god no, that's the worst way to "fix" something xdd

[pearl raven]

And that ain’t getting better soon

[plush rivet]

Aftermarket is a thing btw

you don’t have to buy your cards directly from nivida lol

the prices will go down as time goes on

[pearl raven]

2 years later they do

[fervent prairie]

3080 is still over MSRP here. Nvidia doesn't lower it's prices

[pearl raven]

You won’t see a graphics card that hasn’t even been released yet getting a good cut on the price

You already know Nvidia gives them the chips even

[plush rivet]

Again, that’s aftermarket

[fervent prairie]

A 6950xt is cheaper than a 3080 here. Nvidia and lowering prices is a false hope

[pearl raven]

And they just ask even more even if it’s aftermarket

[plush rivet]

That’s just people increasing the price

of course, but if more people have the card it will go down

[pearl raven]

But when

[plush rivet]

The 3000 series in the beginning was stupid expensive and it’s going down

[pearl raven]

Not anytime soon

[plush rivet]

that’s the question

the 4090s have been out for months and they’re still a fortune

[pearl raven]

That will happen when the 5000 series are about to get out

[plush rivet]

I haven’t seen the prices go down at all

[plush rivet]

hopefully by than 4000 is somewhat reasonable

[pearl raven]

I want to buy a 4070 laptop and the laptop is slightly more than a 3070 ti laptop

Even if it’s just a minor 4 fps increase (without dlls3 and fg)

[tired glade]

Hadn't it taken 2 months for 3090 to drop in price?

[neat gull]

Now that its been a bit whats everybodys thoughts on Atomic Heart?

[tired glade]

Pass

[pearl raven]

How

[tired glade]

Nvidia

[pearl raven]

Because some materials were easier to get

[tired glade]

Nvidia just hold price drop for profit

[pearl raven]

But even if the prices dropped you couldn’t really get a hand on them because people used bots to get them and sell them for more

[tired glade]

3090 still in stock in local shops

Like 4080 with 4070 ti

[cinder crow]

I have a gsync monitor

[tired glade]

Which gsync?

[pearl raven]

Because they limited the cards and miners have little use for them

If they didn’t

[tired glade]

No one buy them

[mild elm]

freesync works

[pearl raven]

There would probably still be bots buying them

[tired glade]

7000 out of stock and only 6500 is stock

[pearl raven]

Out of stock can happen

It’s because Nvidia sells them for much more

And amd sells them for less

[tired glade]

Reselling not that profitable anymore, anyway

Until next wave of GPUs

[pearl raven]

I wanna have a look at the new msi laptops

But they don’t show a price in euro

[plush rivet]

Never knew about it till the whole controversy

[errant valve]

Folks I just preordered the dough spectrum oled, wish me luck

[tired glade]

That's TV or monitor?

[errant valve]

Ik the company is shady, but after rebrand, I sincerely hope they deliver

[plush rivet]

It is? Nobody is buying new gpus anymore
Everyone is buying used

[tired glade]

And never pre order

[errant valve]

monitor

[tired glade]

Margin drop from 300-400% to 100-200% in avg

[errant valve]

https://www.dough.tech/pages/spectrum-glossy-oled-qhd-240hz-monitor

[tired glade]

Even tho Africa reselling holds so items to 400%

Oh,240

[errant valve]

its the LG panel, on a glossy screen

[pearl raven]

Well because used are way cheaper

[tired glade]

Sounds good

[slow sonnet]

yoo why is volta a sponsor again??????????????????

are they forgetting about https://linustechtips.com/topic/1422713-sponsorship-suggestioncomplaint-thread-april-2022/?do=findComment&comment=15350412

[fossil frost]

have volta's issues been resolved? or not? because LMG clearly specify, multiple times, "on hold until shipping issues are resolved"

[slow sonnet]

no idea

my guess is whoever approved the sponsor deal forgot about that stuff

[fossil frost]

so you are just randomly complaining without even reading the posts you linked to? and without asking if the issues have been resolved?

[slow sonnet]

i see no sign of it being solved

[fossil frost]

forgot..... or have done research and have found the issues mentioned to now have been resolved?

because you didnt look

[manic torrent]

congratulations

[slow sonnet]

last oficial statement from ltt was they ended their partnership. all the 3 "recent comments" reference that statement and the 4th is someone saying they got scammed. so i see no proof they have changed

[fossil frost]

the last official post from LTT was that they had paused the partnership until the shipping issues had been solved. and just because nobody has posted anything since, doesnt mean that they have not been resolved... you dont work for LTT, you do not give anything to LTT, so you dont need to see proof, you dont need to see anything. as long as LTT are satisfied, it doesnt matter what you think

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's not that it doesn't matter at all

but... you don't get a vote.

[fossil frost]

thats more what i meant

[slow sonnet]

i was just asking if it had been solved mostly

[manic torrent]

I would suggest: asking on that thread

[slow sonnet]

because they said they were pausing until solved

[fossil frost]

no, you didnt ask, you stated that somebody had forgotten about it

[manic torrent]

because everyone here knows as much as you - possibly more, but only from the same source material

[fossil frost]

as bob said, and, if you think it matters , bring it up in that post, or in that part of the forum, because that is where you would get a response

[wispy marsh]

Hey

I'm still watching feb 10's wan show

[trim robin]

same, am about 2hr in i think. prop will be able to finish it later today

ah well not the 10ths but last weaks

[tired glade]

I skipped by comments timeline

There are way too much sponsorship nowadays

[trim robin]

tbf a good part of some of the sponser spots do kinda become kinda talkative and not fully just about the sponser

tho i wish floatplane wan had the timestamps espacly with the vid not saveing whare its at

[tired glade]

I skipping because of that

[trim robin]

but a lot of those dont fully end up about the sponser but persnal stuff or news/info seams odd to fully skip them but then again it is over 4hr from some of the past shows

hmmm tonadro siern is going off, first seamed like a test then it went off again and now its constent, whethers fine tho

aslo sounds so odd its prety close to whare i am so and it sounds like its in the room lol

[cinder crow]

Idk if freesync will work on mine, it came out before nvidia relaxed on the gsync shit.

[cinder crow]

I’m stating I have a gsync monitor because I don’t want to give it up to use an amd gpu.

hey, does anyone know how i can get linus media group to invest in my cool new business idea

its called the Prank Call Call Center

basically i'm just gonna pay people to make prank calls

[slim mirage]

What

[dull granite]

best prices were november 2022

you could get a RX 6950 XT for like 750$ bucks

[full fossil]

like we call people on the phone and try to mess with them and stuff

but as a business

[dull granite]

and half the price for used

[full fossil]

noone is answering me and its making me upset because this is a really good idea

[full fossil]

thats the worst idea ever xD

hhow

its cool

its a really good idea

[inner flicker]

as fun as it'd be
why would people pay money to have their friends prank called

[full fossil]

they wouldn't

the investors would pay money

duh

[inner flicker]

how would you pay the investors back

[kind reef]

Also:
Today I've learned that the Mars has a bunch of sattelites in orbit that is used for communication with the several mars rovers and earth

[inner flicker]

it's not a business if you're not making anything of value out of it

You need assets that would continue to generate money

you have to offer them something of value in return
a cut of profits or something

they won't invest if they're not getting anything out of it

How would random strangers making prank calls benefit an investor

[neat gull]

is funny

the investor can get a good laugh

[inner flicker]

I feel like you're just trolling

You want real investors? Create a digital coin.
Don't pay your developers, tell them they get 10% of the coins.
create a PR stunt saying "ScamCoin is the newest biggest hit !"
Buy very early in , and sell immediately everything. 🤷‍♂️ this literally is done at least 10 times.

It can still fuck your life up, ask me how I know

I shouldn't be ragging on you for the box

I hope that eventually you develop the self control on your own though

I went medical so I could try and moderate my strains

[polar steeple]

I used it to cope with having a six fig tech job

It was one of those BS ones not a nonprofit

beancounting, fleet mgmt, killed my soul, really

[vital niche]

but even before that.... it was just fun. Like I got all into the science and rosin

the only thing that draws me to it... is that it cannot kill you

[polar steeple]

Like I said I know how it goes and hope it gets better for you. Seems like we have similar interests in that space so I know how you feel

How about this

What if you tried to get a job in the cannabis space

[vital niche]

been bouncing in my head for a while

[polar steeple]

May be something worth putting some effort into

We haven't even approached the horizon for how big cannabis is going to become

[vital niche]

I may start thinking more intently about that. I just didn't want to start of retail

[polar steeple]

Nah man think about it like this

[vital niche]

and yeah canna is getting big

[polar steeple]

These dispensaries that deliver

That's a fleet

You have fleet management experience

Maybe you have some fresh idea about a better way to do things

Try it man

[vital niche]

I am smiling at the screen rn

[neat gull]

Dude I rememebr Days gone being a fuck ton harder when it first came out, playing it rn its easy asl, unless they made adjustments for the PC port which I highly doubt

[polar steeple]

We all need a light at the end of the tunnel

[neat gull]

Or maybe ive just gotten a lot better at shooters over the last 4 years

[polar steeple]

I feel like people get better at single player games and worse at multi-player games as they age lol

[neat gull]

LOL so true

[polar steeple]

Or maybe you are playing on a lower difficulty setting

[neat gull]

Well I definently wouldnt of played on hard mode back then, currently on normal

or it could be im on 240hz and ps4 version was capped at 30fps i think

30 or 60

[vital niche]

@polar steeple Thanks. I've been living on a sort of autopilot for a bit, esp when I got into late-stage dev jobs. But yeah I figure I can use what I know to create an entity mgmt software. I've seen the sw that the state uses for MMJ and it's horrible.

The only thing really 'stopping' was fear of restarting again in a diff field, but I see I can use my exp to headstart

[polar steeple]

I know how the auto-pilot thing goes. It's an easy trap to fall into when you get older and start to get comfortable. But I'm a big believer that one of the essences of being human is always hunting to find the next best thing, when we stop hunting we get depressed

That is how it has been for me

I have to pursue something or I just become rudderless

[vital niche]

I feel thathard

[polar steeple]

Risks are scary and hard but I'd rather die having lived a scary and hard life than a boring and generic one

[neat gull]

They must of changed the PC port because I remember running out of ammo so much but now it seems to be a lot easier to find

[polar steeple]

It's funny you bring this up

I played GTA IV last night

And man that game is just kinda borked

The driving is horrible and the traffic patterns are legitimately nonsensical

[neat gull]

Im scared and excited to see what rockstar does for 10th anniversary

[polar steeple]

I don't remember ever feeling like that playing it when it came out

What did you think of Definitive Edition

[neat gull]

well it was nothing like any other games when it first came out, it felt like the perfect game at the time

[polar steeple]

They improved so much of it for GTA V though

Like I love 4 but 5 is a much better game

[sonic barn]

I don't like gta

I tried it for 30min couldn't get into it

[polar steeple]

You don't like good games then

[neat gull]

its not everybodys game

[sonic barn]

did you play planescape torment ever

[neat gull]

beginning of story is slow, just wait till u get rocket launchers n fast cars

[polar steeple]

U focking wot m8?

[sonic barn]

just not my type of game

Its like terraria vs minecraft, terraria is better

[polar steeple]

[sonic barn]

that's my definition of a good game

You like survival builders?
