[full fossil]

Probably dead in 1 week

[dull osprey]

I should call my family

[full fossil]

Make see some one? Instead of asking random people on discord

[dull osprey]

Like a doctor? water doctor?

[full fossil]

a doctor?

[vapid smelt]

You are part fish

[dull osprey]

Maybe it's because of something

[full fossil]

Oh my that's it

[dull osprey]

or I'm sick, or food

[dull osprey]

Hmm, I should go underwater and see what happens

[full fossil]

Yes

[sonic barn]

I drink 2L

Be careful of your electrolytes though

Drink a bit of orange juice with water

[dull osprey]

I'll try this

Found this on google:
"The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine of the United States determined that an adequate daily fluid intake for men is approximately 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) and for women approximately 11.5 cups (2.7 liters)."

[shrewd jacinth]

I have an honors algebra 2 test this upcoming tuesday about polynomials. Does anybody have any tips to try and memorize the equations for difference of cubes, SOAP (same opposite always positive), descartes rule of signs, and anything else that you think would maybe be helpful?

[dull osprey]

it seems I'm still in a normal situation

[shrewd jacinth]

DM me if you have any please

[tired glade]

4L a day is a lot

[dull osprey]

it happened just today

IDK why but yeah, I was never like this

[tired glade]

You really need to eat some dry food to make it work

[trim robin]

What are you drinking

[dull osprey]

and it didn't make me pee, it was normal, so where are those waters going?

[dull osprey]

Water

[trim robin]

Yea go see a doctor

You on any kind of meds tho?

[tired glade]

2 cups of tea a day is max of liquid itself, every else is fruit in veggies

[dull osprey]

Yes, Fastover 180mg. It is used to ease allergy signs

But it's been 2 months I'm taking this

[trim robin]

Yea prob best to see a doctor as soon as you can

[manic shard]

anyone else's discord not loading on pc

[full fossil]

no

[dull osprey]

I think so, I'll go tomorrow.

I saw this on google:
Antihistamines can cause dry mouth, making you feel thirsty.

But yeah, it's been more than 2 months I take this

[proud stump]

Just ordered a motherboard and cpu to replace my broken stuff till then it's 3090 with a 5300g

Mother of all bottel necks

[dull osprey]

I also feel sleepy (I slept enough). Definitely, something is wrong with me.

[proud stump]

Have you tried monster

[dull osprey]

I think you better ask this in #tech-chat-1

[dull osprey]

If I have to stay awake! But not in the past year lol

I usually try to stay away from these kind of things

[proud stump]

Not asking just venting

[dull osprey]

ah ok

[dull osprey]

so let me say.
MY i5600K is weak and bottlenecking my RTX3070 in some points

[stoic beacon]

"My CPU is bottlenecking my GPU" looks like I'm going for a blackout in LTT bingo today

[full fossil]

😭

[full fossil]

You also have 4gb of ddr3?

And a hdd?

Terrible airflow?

[proud stump]

Lol ddr3

Oh fuck I gotta buy ddr5 now

Dammit

I just got 64 gigs of ddr4

[stoic beacon]

Why is that? Does the 13600k not support ddr4?

[vapid smelt]

It dose

[stoic beacon]

Sounds like you're all set then.

[dull osprey]

lol, no it's 32GB DDR4, very good cooling

[small zephyr]

🤨 wow fuck you samsung

[stoic beacon]

Patsu says something we all say every day, hmm

[small zephyr]

i needed to search in my settings the bixby shit to make it so the power button is the power button and not bixby

if they want an dedicated garbageby button at least dont put it on the power button and place an extra button

[stoic beacon]

I hated the extra button on the S8...I like being able to disable it completely now

[small zephyr]

better as putting bixby on the fucking power button which renders one to power down or restart your device

[sonic barn]

Yeah I drink less

[stoic beacon]

No, that's not what it does. It makes it so you press Up and Power at the same time, so you still can power down or restart your device, AND you can now fully remove any sort of hardware integration for Bixby, given the new setting.

[small zephyr]

🤔 any one knows a working and free at best controller mapper for android i brought octopus but it doesnt work at all

[small zephyr]

whats the fucking power buttom the for? its not called power button for nothing

if it wasnt the power button it would be called an bixby button

[stoic beacon]

It's for power, just change the setting...

[small zephyr]

i did....

[stoic beacon]

Good job

[small zephyr]

still more anoying as it should be

[stoic beacon]

You are a moderately functioning waterbag afterall

[small zephyr]

ooof lets try panda gamepad pro....

[graceful burrow]

oh yeah baby that's what im talkin about

[golden talon]

i forgor to return my a770

i just bought it to mess around with it

i don’t have any need for another card

[graceful burrow]

That's literally the only reason I bought the a380

I just wanted to dink around with it
All I know about how it performs so far is that team fortress 2 refuses to boot with the arc card lmao

Dxvk might fix that

[golden talon]

steam games seem to hate arc

csgo ran with issues

[graceful burrow]

Also
A380
Not a powerhouse
Kind of a weird spot for it to be
Not supporting anything below dx11 but also not powerful enough for dx11 and up lmao

[golden talon]

i forgor

latest one

[trim robin]

Uh oh. My pc won't turn off even affter holding button for good time

[silver sandal]

Unplug it

[trim robin]

I did

[silver sandal]

Ctrl alt delete then try

If not hold the power for even longer, it'll go to a manual cut off

[trim robin]

It crashed there's no output or input of any

[trim robin]

That's what I was doing, normal it's like 3-5sec but I held it mutch longer and still nothing

[neat gull]

flip ur psu switch

[trim robin]

Don't have one. And besides it's already unpluged

[neat gull]

is this server moderated? like are the mods active lol

[trim robin]

yes

[vestal needle]

so like does anyone know when mid ranged cards are coming out...

[neat gull]

guess im on at the wrong times

[neat gull]

the yare out, they are called 16 series

[vestal needle]

like holy shit it's march and we don't even have a 70 class or an 800 class card

[neat gull]

oh you meant new ones

[vestal needle]

jensen's probably getting off to the 4090 sales

[neat gull]

no clue, but would love to see some $100, $200 ray tracing cards

[vestal needle]

KEKW

100 dollar cards, 6400 with missing h265 encoding

with the speed of a 1060 at 2022

pathetic

like the only viable current gen 100 dollar cards will probably be an a380 only because it has av1 encoding

other than that, you gotta spend like at least 300 for decent ones

kerbal space program 2, recommended specs rtx 3080

rtx 4090, hogwarts 15 fps with raytracing on

[trim robin]

or get this, dont get brand new gpus and brand new AAA games

[vestal needle]

i just wish starfield doesn't have recommended specs of rtx 4090 30 fps on 1080p

[golden sorrel]

That sound of '00's. Hopefully it was a joke?

[velvet marsh]

Pc gaming has been “dying” since 1985

[summer folio]

No wan show today?

[trim robin]

Wym?

[sturdy dune]

doesnt wan show start in like 90 mins

[pliant karma]

long wan show I see happpening today again lol

prob 4+ hours which I don't mind

[trim robin]

Yea

[hollow pulsar]

Where are the specs posted at?

[velvet marsh]

It definitely won’t have those requirements because then it wouldn’t even run on the series consoles

[hollow pulsar]

Lol. Every website has specs except for Starfield. The phrasing of the question implied Starfield had recommended specs published.

[velvet marsh]

I mean most companies target like 1060 performance for minimum because it’s the most common gpu and has been for a while

[full fossil]

guys i have couple questions um how much will there be like a price drop for the 4090's in black friday in usa because im looking into buying one from usa

[manic torrent]

Uhhhh, it's.march my dude.

[full fossil]

i know im sorry for asking this early but im from sweden and the cards cost like 1000 dollars higher than the usa and im wondering if there will be like a 100-300 dollars price drop in the cards

[manic torrent]

As a rule, tech like that doesn't generally get big discounts, and it's more than 6 months away, so it's likely to drop in that time anyway.

[summer parcel]

hi

[sonic robin]

howdy

[near nymph]

Interesting... This free 3d printer I was sent is actually built pretty good...

Gonna use my LTT screw driver for this hehe

[warm plover]

.

[full fossil]

Is it normal when you switch graphics cards in my case from Nvidia to AMD and use ddu to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers to have it completely reset your sleep settings on your computer

[manic torrent]

That doesn't surprise me, no.

[full fossil]

Ok. Well surprising I kind of expected it and thankfully an easy fix. Totally worth the upgrade though

This is a bit of a learning curve though. Last AMD card I used was a 9800 pro back in the agp days. Nobody surprised the interface for it is a little bit different

9600 pro*

[small zephyr]

🤔 hmmmmm how do i fix cod cold wars compiling shader shit alreadz tried clicking on the restart thing

[mortal estuary]

how many of you went to LTT store . com today?

[crisp granite]

yes

[past egret]

uninstall the game, problem solved

[pliant karma]

Lol ltt screwdriver being used for the most mundane shit. My use case

[small mulch]

now that linus has his store with the screwdriver, there should be an ltt game

[alpine gale]

Not me - I only visit http://lttcom.store 😏

[unkempt widget]

but i visit https://uk.lttstore.com

wait is that the right one?

[mortal estuary]

dont click that

[near nymph]

Hmm...

[mortal estuary]

i see some blocked messages

[unkempt widget]

yep, of course

[mortal estuary]

probably some kids that were raging a few days ago

yeah starminor, block that guy

[unkempt widget]

you're the one who advertised your own twitch tbh

this is me talking to you:

[mortal estuary]

at least i did, that dude will rage at you if he disagrees

[timid meadow]

Star can be annoying but like so can everyone else. I havent seen them do anything too off the walls

[unkempt widget]

https://tenor.com/view/brick-wall-talk-gif-5290288

"they added that after my post"

as if you're so important and you're getting targetted all the time

LMAOOOOO

i just realized you meant obese, not a beast 💀

[full fossil]

no he didn

[unkempt widget]

ngl i've never heard anyone say "morbidly a beast"

again <@&750150305383186585>

[exotic sleet]

alright, apparently i joined at a bad time...

[unkempt widget]

lol true

why's there so many new people at this exact moment

wtf

the "bad man???"

[exotic sleet]

I joined because I saw it advertised on WAN show. Im a tarkov player (not anymore though, the cheating is too rampant)

[jaunty pivot]

I joined bc I desperately need help with my pc, I have terrible stutter issues when gaming

[idle skiff]

almost double nice

what can i get for 60 cents on lttstore

[exotic sleet]

I need to benchmark my GPU. I really don't think the performance I'm getting is what it should be

[polar steeple]

I feel like if you order one singular sticker they should peel it and stick it to the envelope just to fuck you

[candid terrace]

furmark or something

[exotic sleet]

Does Furmark tell you if it's within it's performance window?

[candid terrace]

furmark preset will run for a bit and calculate the amount of frames rendered, then spit it out with averages, minimums and max along with the amount of frames rendered, then you can compare it on the site with others

maybe 3dmark too idk

[dense yacht]

bro I could answer so many of Luke's questions about tarkov

[polar steeple]

I can answer the ultimate question about Tarkov

Should you play it? No

At a former job I had a coworker who found out I was into PC gaming and used discord and he's like oh man I'll send you an invite to the server for my Rust clan (they play Tarkov too)

Place was VILE

[near nymph]

Hold up... 3d printer with crimped cables? 😮

[manic torrent]

You can make a 3d printer however you like

[young root]

3D print a 3d printer

[modest umbra]

food good

[wary summit]

You wouldn't download a movie, You wouldn't download... a... 3D... printer...
harold, is this script right?

[young root]

bro i'm such a fucking pirate

[wary summit]

same

[young root]

my steam deck only makes it worse

[wary summit]

half my laptop drive is pirated content, Office, Adobe

anything with a subscription service is pirated

[fringe remnant]

arrrgh

[wary summit]

becuase companies fucked perpetual licenses

[fringe remnant]

🏴‍☠️

[wary summit]

[fringe remnant]

this is what pisses me off

[wary summit]

plaouffe is online

[wary summit]

yea, so i pirate office to write my homework on a word doc

FUCK MICROSOFT

[fringe remnant]

if you made your good, high quality software available for a reasonable, one-time price, I'll buy it if I find it useful

[fringe remnant]

microsoft can suck my harddisk

[wary summit]

I'd pay $299 for a perpetual office license

[wary summit]

They can suck my floppydisk too

[fringe remnant]

i use their ass software at work

just hate it

[wary summit]

pirate it

[fringe remnant]

also for most office stuff, excluding some crazy excel shit

[wary summit]

KMS++

[fringe remnant]

google services kills everything

[wary summit]

fr

but you need internet...

So, like in china, thats a nono

[fringe remnant]

i dont think chinese users care to pay microsoft licencing

[wary summit]

no, we don't

most people still on a version of windows 7

90% i'd say is pirated windows 7

[fringe remnant]

with the amount of shady shit you need to do to get access to most internet services, piracy is pretty stupid low on the list

[wary summit]

Piracy is good, Hacking is bad

[fringe remnant]

I have some rules for myself about piracy and what I will/wont pirate

[wary summit]

Piracy is a petty feat, where as hacking can cause actual damage to things

its like robbery and thievery

[fringe remnant]

Games are a no-no for me

[versed terrace]

I was still using Windows 7 until recently

Well, recently was more like 2021

[wary summit]

for me, i pirate only software and old/foxguarded movies/tv

[fringe remnant]

I switched to a macbook

[wary summit]

Like, Tom and Jerry, shits expensive as fuck to watch

[versed terrace]

No one pirates Windows

[wary summit]

i do...

[fringe remnant]

im not playing their "windows 10 is gonna be the last windows" "wait no we want more money and ads, here's 11"

[wary summit]

its a $399

[versed terrace]

Pirating Windows or a Antivirus is a 💀 move

[wary summit]

?

[versed terrace]

Its 100 for home edition

[wary summit]

but thats HOME ediditon

[versed terrace]

And it doesn't expire

[fringe remnant]

antivirus is stupid to pirate, just use some commonsense and if you need a hard good scan once in a while, malwarebytes free is great

[wary summit]

i NEED PRO edition

[versed terrace]

Pro is 199

[fringe remnant]

I'll pirate windows on principle alone

[wary summit]

ok, shell out $399 for me

I'll gladly type in that product key i so crave

I OWN at least what, 20 windows 7 ultimate keys?

[versed terrace]

Its 199 not 399

Why on earth is it my issue?

[wary summit]

I CAN'T USE ONE ON THEM

[fringe remnant]

Here's the thing. I dont have an issue paying for entertainment and services I use.

[versed terrace]

Don't caps lock me

[wary summit]

because your saying i can pay for it, indeed, i can, but its not worth it

[wary summit]

You, can't and don' tell me what to do

SKADADDLE

as you were saying ssh

[wary summit]

neither

[fringe remnant]

But when you make your service worse intentionally just for more money (see: the 90 streaming services and netflix IP restrictions), I will pirate because it's literally easier

[versed terrace]

It makes no sense to use a pirated operating system, and if you bought Windows 7, just stay on 7

Home edition probably does everything you need eithr way

[wary summit]

oh, then why'd you get a new iPhone?

[fringe remnant]

Not because it's cheaper, not because I dont have the money, but because paying for and using your service creates more hassle and headache in my life

[wary summit]

remote access? Windows sandbox? no

[versed terrace]

I don't have a iPhone or even a smartphone

[wary summit]

I'd just search for a movie on 1337, and i'll download it faster than me logging into netflix and their verification thingfrfr

[versed terrace]

Im using a Alcatel

[wary summit]

so stfu

[fringe remnant]

I pay for a spotify family subscription, because their service doesn't change randomly and it's consistently good and a good deal

[wary summit]

about, "oH yOu ShOuLD StAy oN wInDowYS 7"

[fringe remnant]

I've been paying for that subscription for like 6 years

because they make it worth it

[versed terrace]

Yeah and one day your internet service shuts down cuz too much downloads, not to mention the virusses you end up with

[wary summit]

I don't have thay money, so i join this cheaper paid family thing

[wary summit]

this skid, thinks... i'll get viruses for calling a microsft rep...

[fringe remnant]

uhh my guy

getting a virus from torrenting a movie is something you intentionally have to do nowadays

[wary summit]

it aint work like that kid

[wary summit]

i tried on my windows sandbox,(BECAUSE ONLY PRO COMES WITH SANDBOX)

[versed terrace]

U know pirated movies are one of the easiest ways to get virus

[wary summit]

for you

You'd probably go on pirate bay and download movie.exe

[versed terrace]

It needs a Codec installed and boom ur pc pwned

[wary summit]

bruh this kid

You need to TRY to download a virus

Plus if you have good sources, it ain't happening

[versed terrace]

you're funny guy, I said I wouldn't download anything illegal at all yet he thinks I would download Movie from pirate bay lmfao

[fringe remnant]

I have a server that runs plex and a torrent thing both within docker, and at a datacenter, so I don't really have to worry about either of those (internet provider stuff and virus stuff) at all, but even when I just torrented off my computer and watched locally, I never came across anything that could've remotely given me a virus

[versed terrace]

Here in germany you risk getting internet shutdown if you torrent even

[wary summit]

You know, Era sounds like that kid that plays roblox and watches a random youtube video about not pirating

[wary summit]

thats germany, cry about it

[versed terrace]

Just seems like a lose lose situation in 2023

[timid meadow]

I accidentally tried to install a virus of some kind being stupid. Fortunately i broke it by trying to change the file extension kekw

[wary summit]

Seems like a skill issue to me

[wary summit]

Lmao, i had to actually search for viruses on a sketchy search engine

[fringe remnant]

have you heard of a vpn sir

[wary summit]

have you heard of Trojan, VMESS, VLESS, TCP

heck you can use @fringe remnant to pirate get the joke-

[fringe remnant]

i mean, technically you can if you use an SSH tunnel in place of a VPN

[versed terrace]

You get capped if you download too much, fair use policy cap anyway

[wary summit]

skill issuie

[timid meadow]

You risk it in the US too. Most companies dont care till they get a letter. Then they send you one, you cover your tracks a lil better and move on

[fringe remnant]

well that's just having a shitty internet provider

comcast does that, and comcast is a known shit internet provider

[wary summit]

that's why i use my mobile data to pirate

Unlimited 5G at near gigabit

[fringe remnant]

they actually introduced it during when work from home was starting just to catch people using a lot of data and make them pay fees

[versed terrace]

I used to pirate Photoshop but nowadays I just pay for it cuz im an adult

[wary summit]

(In China)

[versed terrace]

havent pirated anything in 4 years

[timid meadow]

Tbf comcast is a different issue. 1.2TB is a shit cap, but ive used 10TB+ in a month on unlimited and they didnt care

[fringe remnant]

ALSO, unless you're torrenting a ton of stuff, you're not gonna hit a cap like that

[wary summit]

yea what if i just want to download gta5 and cod?

ten times...

[fringe remnant]

lol

[versed terrace]

You lose out on so much by pirating games anyway

[wary summit]

?

such as?

[timid meadow]

Like what?

[fringe remnant]

I don't pirate games, so I cant really speak about this topic

[versed terrace]

Online play (without hackers(, cloud saves

[wary summit]

I already own GTA5, i just don't want to download slowly from epic games

[wary summit]

bro, there's more hackers in GTA5 paid yk

[versed terrace]

I really doubt that

[wary summit]

cloud saves, yep i've got that, online play, yep

[timid meadow]

You already cant play online on a legit copy without hackers, you can still take games online. Why use cloud saves anyway when local storage is a thing?

[wary summit]

Local > cloud, unless you have like 3 devices

i pirate cs source

[versed terrace]

Most games have a anticheat system, cracked games / servers do not, and hacking is less likely to happen if accessing costs 70€ + price of cheats every time

[wary summit]

because, well i used to own it till my steam got hacked

[wary summit]

explain why every GTA5 lobby has a modder?

[versed terrace]

CSGO cracked servers are impossible to even play cuz of all those hackers

[wary summit]

I've modded i'll admit, but it dosen't stop me modding because i sepnt $29 bucks on a game, pirating it will be the same as buying the game

[timid meadow]

Anti cheat doesnt stop cheaters, it makes it harder. Personal online exists without hackers. Especially in older games, i trust private servers to be legit more then i do official hosted

[wary summit]

this guy 💀 THE SERVERS AREN'T CRACKED

[versed terrace]

I don't play GTA Online but probably just has a weak anticheat

[versed terrace]

They are..

[fringe remnant]

yanno what I dont get, people who get mad at modding in singleplayer games

[wary summit]

why do they get mad

[fringe remnant]

why? like who are you affecting?

[wary summit]

I want to have some fun?

[fringe remnant]

i dont fuckin know

[wary summit]

Let me have fun... I've finished the game already probably, let me have my fun

[versed terrace]

Me neither, even in multiplayer, though its probably the same people hacking single player thats hacking in multiplayer..

[wary summit]

"oH iT rUinS tHe FuN" 🤓

[wary summit]

no tf

[timid meadow]

Ya know how to not use a cracked server? Dont connect to one. Theres no seperate "modded online". You connect to the matchmaking service of your choice

[wary summit]

people hack in multiplayer for an advantage

[versed terrace]

Since I wouldnt know where to even find the hacks, if you know where to find the hacks you're more likely to be using it

[wary summit]

people mod in single for multiple reasons

[fringe remnant]

this is unlikely. most people who cheat in multiplayer want to be better than the other players, in a singleplayer game there's no one to beat and inflate your ego

[wary summit]

PerfectAim, NeverLose, Lavi

[timid meadow]

Hacks and cracks arent the same. Just because you pirate or mod doesnt mean you abuse cheats

[wary summit]

I want my inf health to explore the map man...

[versed terrace]

I got perma banned in Valorant last year cuz I used ESP

[fringe remnant]

this. see: minecraft in india

[wary summit]

lmao

I got falsely banned in valorant for no reason, said i useed 3rd party

[versed terrace]

Thats it tho

[timid meadow]

See: borderlands players who just wanna go boom

[versed terrace]

It was hard to find a working esp

and it wasnt free

[wary summit]

not really

[versed terrace]

it was fun while it lasted tho

[wary summit]

No shit, its Vanguard the most intrusive AC

shit scans your files daily

[fringe remnant]

minecraft is unique because you can just... choose to not use mojang's authentication servers as a server owner

[timid meadow]

Good. Dont cheat in a live service game. Dont cheat to gain an advantage. Cheat to explore the game and engine

[versed terrace]

You can get hardware cheats

That run on a little arduino

[wary summit]

like my INF HEALTH

[wary summit]

bro i know more than you

[versed terrace]

But they cost 500€

[wary summit]

;-;

[versed terrace]

And are still basic

[wary summit]

this guy is tripping istg

[versed terrace]

Private valorant cheats are expensive

[wary summit]

bruh stfu

[versed terrace]

And you have to ID yourself to get in

[wary summit]

bro just shut the fuck up if you don't know anything about it

[fringe remnant]

I personally think that hardware cheats are really cool as a concept and to see what the capabilities of technology interacting with other tech invisibly are. but I do not condone cheating to gain an unfair advantage over other players

[versed terrace]

I know what am talking about

[wary summit]

no you don't

[versed terrace]

The undetected cheats are slotted with max 50 or 100 users, run on arduino, Requires ID

[wary summit]

bro, ugh

how do i explain this, I. Make. Cheats

[versed terrace]

I don't care

[versed terrace]

yeah well

[wary summit]

bottom one is Halo cheat, top one is CSGO cheat

Hardware mother fuckin cheat

[fringe remnant]

@wary summit any machine learning/ai used in your cheats?

[wary summit]

not that hard, you find the memory indexs and you just edit them

[versed terrace]

Personally paying 5-600€ per month for a cheat is too much

But for some people its worth

[wary summit]

yes, but not atm, its hard due to my laptop being 16:10 instead of 16:9

[fringe remnant]

I think it'd be a really cool project because of the basically unlimited amount of training data

[wary summit]

yea, but my laptop is 16:10

[fringe remnant]

just... apply black bars?

[wary summit]

and it messes with the algorithm

[wary summit]

not that easy... it has to run in Fullscreen, can't be windowed borderless

heck, to change the settings you use buttons on the breadboard

[versed terrace]

You could change screen resolution

[wary summit]

ok, adding AI and Machine learning isin't that easy

[versed terrace]

But imo cheating in valorant isn't worth it, you also lose most of your skill once you disable the cheats

I was decent but after using esp im not

[wary summit]

m8, im immo 1

[versed terrace]

I used to drop 25 kills per game without esp

Now without esp nothing like that

[wary summit]

I drop 40 without hacks

[versed terrace]

doubt that

Why would you hack then

[wary summit]

I dont personally hack?

[ocean thunder]

Hi

[versed terrace]

So why do you have it

[wary summit]

my banned account: https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/TechNo1geek%23Vtr/overview?playlist=unrated

[wary summit]

to make money?

Who knows, i could be the Flo that sold you the cheat

yk, now i look at my stats, holy shit i was bad

[versed terrace]

The one I bought banned me pretty fast

and it was only esp

[wary summit]

:P

was it mertior? or comet?

[versed terrace]

it was still fun

It was Phoenix hack

[wary summit]

haha my iron account

[versed terrace]

Idk seems like cheating in that game is just

impossible without hardware hack

And a private slotted one at that

[wary summit]

bro, join call, ill show you my csgo skills

because valorant is banned in china

[versed terrace]

Public lasts up to 2-3 months max

[wary summit]

for now.

[fringe remnant]

isnt...

[versed terrace]

nah am good

[fringe remnant]

valorant owned by tencent

[unkempt widget]

no

[wary summit]

no, tencent is opening valorant servers in china

[hollow pulsar]

Speaking of hacks. I don’t think I’ve heard of a man-in-the-middle-of-RAM hardware attack

[ocean thunder]

H

[wary summit]

...

[fringe remnant]

valorant is owned by riot, who is owned by tencent

[wary summit]

wait what

[versed terrace]

yeah but its like

[fringe remnant]

thats... kinda smart

[wary summit]

HOLY FUCK

[unkempt widget]

31% share

[wary summit]

HOLY FUCKIFY FUCK WHEN

[hollow pulsar]

A hardware device that sits between RAM and the CPU. Basically the same as a gameshark for the N64.

[fringe remnant]

yeah

[unkempt widget]

wtf

[versed terrace]

Its seperate companies and the games arent the same in all regions

[wary summit]

Tencent > Riot > VALORANT

[versed terrace]

In Asia its WeGame Valorant

[fringe remnant]

which could (and probably is) more than any other single investor, which means they exercise the most control over the company

[fringe remnant]

wegame, as in, wechat, which... is owned by tencent

[versed terrace]

yeah

[wary summit]

WangZheRongYao was made with league

[versed terrace]

WeGame hosts league too

[wary summit]

when is china valorant out

[fringe remnant]

tencent is so fucking huge i dont think most people understand

[versed terrace]

dont know

[wary summit]

i do, because im in china rn

[versed terrace]

Look for eta

[fringe remnant]

like they effectively own technology in china

[wary summit]

nah, anything Ali

[hollow pulsar]

Tencent is China-based?

[unkempt widget]

lol

[wary summit]

no shit?

[versed terrace]

Its state owned for sure lmfao

[fringe remnant]

well yeah ofc, and you're (im assuming) a software dev

[wary summit]

PUB-G

[versed terrace]

or atleast has connections to china state

[wary summit]

tencent is fully chinese

[fringe remnant]

lots of their board of executives are chinese govt officials

[wary summit]

Founded in HuaQiangBei

[hollow pulsar]

Oh that whomps. The moment China decides to use any of their subsidiaries for espionage, they have to comply.

[fringe remnant]

and to be allowed to expand that huge and be so successful, they'd have to earn the favor of the CCP

[wary summit]

Tencent Holdings Ltd. is a Chinese multinational technology and entertainment conglomerate

[near nymph]

LTT STORE kek

LTT screw driver :3

[versed terrace]

In China the internet isn't free either

[wary summit]

[versed terrace]

Its mega censored

[wary summit]

[golden talon]

ccp has control over everything there lol

[fringe remnant]

CCP has used tencent to exercise their control over china before

[golden talon]

except vpns

[versed terrace]

Afaik many Chinese connections don't even have Google

[wary summit]

well, true

[fringe remnant]

pretty much all

[wary summit]

no shit...

It's like as if China isin't the only country with internet censorship

[fringe remnant]

went to china once for a bit before I continued onto thailand, google maps was dead, youtube, etc

[wary summit]

its the only country people make fun of lmao

[fringe remnant]

even in the hotel, meant for foreigners

[wary summit]

yea, the roadblock is built into the ISPs

[fringe remnant]

good thing I downloaded all my google translate for chinese

[wary summit]

3 major providers

[fringe remnant]

hey, that's better than us in the US

[versed terrace]

My biggest fear if I travel to China would be food

[wary summit]

and only 3 legal vpn providers, only obtained by bussnises

[versed terrace]

How do I read the menu?

[wary summit]

why?scared of sars?

[wary summit]

most mid-tier restaraunts have english menus

the small side restraunts usuall don't

[versed terrace]

Or something weird I don't want to eat

yeah hopefully english

[wary summit]

Dog

[fringe remnant]

heres what we did. we basically ordered anything that looked good because it was all cheap, tasted everything and ate what we liked

[wary summit]

really fucking cheap + no tip

[versed terrace]

💀

I would be afraid

[fringe remnant]

there were these milk white bread buns that were so fucking good

[wary summit]

Stir-Fry will almost always be on the menu

[golden talon]

same

[wary summit]

y'all scared of like covid or sumth?

[versed terrace]

no

[golden talon]

i’m vegetarian

[wary summit]

[wary summit]

like what's possibly weird?

[versed terrace]

Wouldn't want that to happen

[wary summit]

Eel? Dog? Fox?

[fringe remnant]

if it dont taste good, spit it out

[vital niche]

the only ones scared of covid wear a mask in a convertible hahaha

[versed terrace]

yea like those

[wary summit]

Horse PP?

[fringe remnant]

eel isnt that weird in the grand scheme of things

[versed terrace]

or that

[fringe remnant]

commonly eaten in asia

[wary summit]

Eel is basically fish

then why don't you say "im scarred of the food in japan"

[golden talon]

i was going to go to shanghai but decided to go to japan this year

[wary summit]

becuase they have used clothing items in vending machines there

[fringe remnant]

because cute anime girls and sushi and ramen

[tawny olive]

Eel tastes amazing

[vital niche]

just ask for sushi everywhere

[wary summit]

tbh valid

[fringe remnant]

eel is common in sushi so be careful

[wary summit]

Have you seen how many homeless people there are in fucking streets like meters away from city centers

[vital niche]

makin jokes about the healthcare

[golden talon]

real

[fringe remnant]

id say the bar is pretty low and we aren't clearing it. exhibit a, if you get seriously sick you're either dying in the hospital or on the streets

[tawny olive]

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd world country stuff is weird, pre 1990 it mean support in the Cold War, now it means economic development

[wary summit]

You're telling my USA is more developed? (other than military wise) ?

[wary summit]

in china, you get free health care, same with australia

[golden talon]

you can absolutely die in a hospital in the usa

[golden talon]

compared to what

we sending so much munneh to ukraine its stupid

any other large land mass country?

[fringe remnant]

ehhh, doesnt really put a dent in our defense budget

[wary summit]

The "First World" countries were the largely democratic NATO countries such as the United States, Japan, and much of Western Europe. The "Second World" countries were the Communist Bloc countries, including the Soviet Union, China, and their allies. (Video) Third World vs First World Countries - What's The Difference? (The Infographics Show)

[golden talon]

exactly

in that sense i’d rather visit japan

no

it’s def pretty damn big though

[wary summit]

isin't like you're defence budget 1/3 of your whole budget?

[versed terrace]

The thing is

[versed terrace]

If this was the case in china it'd never be public

[golden talon]

my internship gives me free healthcare and i’m literally 18

[versed terrace]

but China spends a considerate amount of money on military

[vital niche]

what does that have to do with it

[versed terrace]

To do with what?

[golden talon]

only mfs without free healthcare are the people out on the streets who don’t stand a chance

[wary summit]

not that much... at least we don't have that many homeless people

[vital niche]

[wary summit]

and you clearly show no pity for them

[golden talon]

i’m a believer of the grind

i was taught to work for stuff

[versed terrace]

Idk, my country also doesn't have many homeless

[wary summit]

I'd consider unlimited gigabit mobile data is first world wouldn't you think?

[golden talon]

the people that don’t believe in work don’t concern me

thoughts on pirating windows?

If you already owned it like multiple times in the past

[golden talon]

illegal

[hollow pulsar]

Don’t. Use Linux instead.

[wary summit]

and digging up the product key and calling support

[golden talon]

and still against tos

[gilded quest]

[wary summit]

but i can't use linux... wait is csgo supported on linux?

[hollow pulsar]

Time to appeal to your senator. You never owned Windows.

[gilded quest]

every time you pirate windows; a penguin dies

[golden talon]

based

omw to kill penguins

[wary summit]

omw to kill an apple

what about pirating mac so to make a hackintosh?

[fluid ridge]

why would you pirate windows

[fringe remnant]

if microshit owned the penguin, we're probably putting it out if its misery

[wary summit]

because its painful to re-activate it

[fluid ridge]

just dont

[gilded quest]

no don't kill wsl

[wary summit]

that watermark bugs me, but hey my $3000 laptop came with windows :)

[fluid ridge]

i have been using unactivated windows for the past 9 or so months

i RARELY see the watermark

[wary summit]

KMS++

[fringe remnant]

windows is eventually gonna become a linux distro with a vm running the NT kernel for backwards compatability

[dreamy quarry]

Isn’t the steam deck Linux? Would be weird if csgo wasn’t supported somehow.

[fluid ridge]

it comes up randomly for some reason but goes away with a PC restart and doesnt come back for a week or so

[wary summit]

its like after every restart it fucks itself

[golden talon]

[wary summit]

haha can only support one display

[golden talon]

yeah it runs

[fringe remnant]

what macbook is that

[hollow pulsar]

Microsoft signs the linux UEFI crypto key. Be a shame if they decided to stop.

[gilded quest]

if it'll run valorant im cool with this

[golden talon]

m2 air

[fringe remnant]

i have M1 air, love it

no windows modern standby bullshit

[wary summit]

if linux fan valorant, i'd switch in a heartbeat

[golden talon]

yeah they’re rlly good i love mine

[wary summit]

i fucking hate modern standby

[golden talon]

thinking of getting another M2 air

[wary summit]

My mum's M1 air bootup is too slow

[fringe remnant]

top 2 reasons i switched to mac

[fringe remnant]

thats not normal, you should check it out

[wary summit]

ain't switching yet bc software dev

[dreamy quarry]

I have 2015 mb pro 🥲

[golden talon]

rip

[wary summit]

slow compared to my $3k G14

[golden talon]

join us on the apple silicon side

[dreamy quarry]

Still kinda runs great

If you like browsing the web exclusively

[gilded quest]

any battery replacements?

[fringe remnant]

I also own a G14, 2020 model. Loved it until I realized that it was making my life harder

[dreamy quarry]

It lasts a good 30 min on a charge with a light load

[wary summit]

lol how so?

[golden talon]

old macbook moment

[gilded quest]

i still have one but barely use it

[fringe remnant]

same

[golden talon]

i had an MSI laptop as well and it was the same for me

[fringe remnant]

having to charge basically all the time and having to shut down every time i put it in my bag

[golden talon]

gaming laptops just aren’t it for productivity

[wary summit]

ahh, they fixed that for 2022 model

modern standby

[dreamy quarry]

Going to buy an ifixit battery to fix it, def has some life in it.

[fringe remnant]

if I have 5 minutes to do work, 3 minutes of that are eaten up by starting it up and shutting it down. with my macbook, i can actually use sleep and just open and start

[wary summit]

it takes me 4~5 seconds to boot...

ehh skill issuie

[hearty spear]

huh?

[golden talon]

Real

[gilded quest]

lol my desktop takes like 40 seconds to boot

[wary summit]

i was like whats taking so long:

[hearty spear]

a decent PC shouldn't take 90 seconds to boot off an SSD

[fringe remnant]

yeah, well aware

[dreamy quarry]

Unless it’s a 990 pro

[fringe remnant]

the 2020 G14 also has some really bad design problems

[golden talon]

990 pro is too op

[fringe remnant]

the thing is fucking fragile

[gilded quest]

also had a bad ssd

[golden talon]

thinking of getting one to replace my SP A60

[gilded quest]

skill issue

[golden talon]

my friends 2022 G14 also suffered memory issues

[dreamy quarry]

I was going to get one for my ps5 but I think I’ll wait till bad stock is rotated out

[wary summit]

Should i buy a $10 750GB SSD?

[fringe remnant]

My macbook air has taken some nasty falls and is fine. g14 on the other hand has a warped and dented chassis all over and ive tried to treat it well

[gilded quest]

mine had a keyboard go bad

[hearty spear]

just update the firmware

[fringe remnant]

also my g14 got really hot on silent mode browsing the web

[heady flicker]

sounds suspicious. I wouldn't use it as a boot drive but sure thing for a game drive

[dreamy quarry]

How would that work on a ps5?

[fringe remnant]

and just murdered my battery

[wary summit]

kek its a fake one

[golden talon]

damn i guess i just should buy a dell

[wary summit]

its a sd card in an adapter

[hearty spear]

plug it into a PC first.

[golden talon]

what’s with asus and msi making shitty laptops

is this a taiwan moment

[dreamy quarry]

Would need a pc that isn’t a 2015 mb pro

[fringe remnant]

$20 for 750gb isn't too far off, especially in china

[wary summit]

bro, i wish they made a 14inch mac equivalent that looked the same, that ran windows and was cheaper

[heady flicker]

I just wish companies just didn't add any more bloat than windows already has

asus is like the biggest offender here

[golden talon]

Windows can be super fucking annoying sometimes

[wary summit]

I wish they install Tiny11 from now on

[wary summit]

not for me, Acer was

[golden talon]

the only OS where you pay over $100 and they still have advertisements built into the OS

[fringe remnant]

windows for end users is not as consistent of an operating system as it needs to be to support professional work

[wary summit]

Acer had, Norton, NordVPN, Acer passport, Acer link, Acer share, Acer projec, Preadator sense, Nitro sense

[fringe remnant]

windows server, while i hold a grudge, is not terribly bad

[heady flicker]

let's see what kind of bloat my asus laptop has

[golden talon]

it’s passable

[wary summit]

its like you don't pay a premium for a macbook so that it already includes the price of the os

[fringe remnant]

yeah

[wary summit]

i have MyAsus and ArmouryCrate

[jaunty compass]

I acquire windows....'legally'

[wary summit]

mostly because It was a premium end laptop

[golden talon]

macbooks you pay for both exclusive hardware and software

[fringe remnant]

i nuked armarycrate for g14control, made my g14 much better

[wary summit]

g14 control? whats that

[fringe remnant]

which means tight integration and consistent experience

[golden talon]

which is what i need in my everyday life

[heady flicker]

is $1400 not premium?

[fringe remnant]

https://github.com/aredden/electron-G14Control

[wary summit]

...

[golden talon]

being able to get up and just work

[fringe remnant]

this for real

[heady flicker]

there is too much bloatware

[wary summit]

only 2021 model :(

[fringe remnant]

my equipment should not be a hurdle in my work, ever

it should do what i expect it and tell it to do with nothing extra and it should do it reasonably fast

[golden talon]

real

i’m gonna stick with my m2 macbook until it isn’t supported anymore

[fringe remnant]

which will be about a decade

[golden talon]

then i’ll go for the m8 or whatever’s out by then

[fringe remnant]

and it might even last that long

[wary summit]

ONLY WORKS ON G14 2020 (For the time being)

[golden talon]

it def will

i’ve got old laptops that have lasted me a decade

they still work amazing to this day

[heady flicker]

clipchamp, dolby access, glidex, mcafee, myasus are preinstalled third party software

and then there's a fuck ton of microsoft shit

[fringe remnant]

my mom's 2013 (or was it 2011?) macbook air still works

[golden talon]

as soon as i bought a macbook i knew it would last me at least 10 years if not more

[unkempt widget]

is 16gb for an m2 macbook air too much?

[golden talon]

no

[unkempt widget]

i'm concerned about the price

[gilded quest]

word

[fringe remnant]

no, it's reasonable especially if you want to use it for a long long time

[golden talon]

student discount shaved off $100

[gilded quest]

imma check that out

[heady flicker]

doesn't even come with a dgpu

[wary summit]

lmao

[golden talon]

apple silicon is highly ram optimized so 16 gb is quite a bit

[fringe remnant]

i got my M1 base MBA for $800 brand new from best buy. apple was selling refurbs for like $879

[wary summit]

G14 AMD+AMD my dream

[unkempt widget]

it's $200 more for 16gb

[fringe remnant]

if you can afford it, go for it

[golden talon]

such is the result of LPDDR5 integrated into custom silicon

[wary summit]

whereas its $350 yuan for a 16gb stick of DDR5 sodimm

[golden talon]

it’s pay to play

[wary summit]

p2w

[fringe remnant]

$50.69usd (nice)

[golden talon]

for most things on apple silicon you don’t even need more than 4 unless running certain programs

[wary summit]

discord is a memory hog

[golden talon]

web browsing on safari for example even with like 10 tabs uses less than 2 gb

discord is also optimized for apple silicon

[wary summit]

Web browsing i can open 100+ with under 2gb wdym

[unkempt widget]

should i get 16gb or 8gb

[golden talon]

open 100 youtube tabs and show me 2gb

[wary summit]

ok

[golden talon]

what are you using it for

[unkempt widget]

general school use and web browsing

[wary summit]

one sec im compressing a file rn

its my cpu thats struggling

[golden talon]

8gb is absolutely fine lol

im in uni with my m2 air and 8gb is overkill for me

[unkempt widget]

for a windows laptop, i won't consider 8gb as enough lol

[golden talon]

memory management is completely different across both

[unkempt widget]

what about asahi

[golden talon]

43 tabs and consuming 2.6 gb

not even 100 tabs and it still more than 2

[wary summit]

because im running an ide

[golden talon]

close it then

and open 100

[dreamy quarry]

Do you just go through tabs and reminisce on what you were looking at a month ago?

[wary summit]

can't im literally developing rn

[gilded quest]

i think my record is 7 tabs

[wary summit]

lmao

[gilded quest]

maybe 8

[wary summit]

Ctrl+Shift+K

[unkempt widget]

mine is 75

[golden talon]

discord uses only 125 mb of ram on my mac

[fluid ridge]

discord is a webpage wrapped using electron iirc

[fluid ridge]

and electron apps are notorious memory hogs

[wary summit]

200 tabs = 4gb usage

[fluid ridge]

my discord is using 617mb

[wary summit]

seems pretty fair to me

[golden talon]

interesting

[dreamy quarry]

The buffer icon on the tabs is Morse for help me I believe

[golden talon]

discord is highly optimized for apple silicon i suppose

[fluid ridge]

yeah a lot of apps for a lot of platforms are just websites in wrappers

[wary summit]

they waiting for Ctrl W

[fluid ridge]

maybe apple silicon just runs better, i dont see a reason why they would need to go out of their way to improve performance for probably a very small portion of their consumer base

[wary summit]

plus Ublock origin ins working pretty hard

[dreamy quarry]

Easier to optimize it when all the hardware and software is the exact same?

[golden talon]

I think they use something called Discord Canary for Apple devices

[heady flicker]

so yeah why does mcafee need to use 20% of my cpu whilst idle

it literally has nothing installed

[wary summit]

why do you need mcaffe

[unkempt widget]

because it's a fucking scam

[dreamy quarry]

Because it’s data mining you

[heady flicker]

it came preinstalled with this asus laptop

[wary summit]

delete that shit, its a bitcoin miner

[unkempt widget]

uninstall it, if you don't know how to do that, just factory reset everything

[heady flicker]

problem is, the laptop won't boot without mcafee installed

yeah I should probably do a fresh install

[dreamy quarry]

[fluid ridge]

canary is discords alpha build channel im pretty sure

discord is split into Canary, PTB, and stable

[dreamy quarry]

Mcafee ransomware

[fluid ridge]

unless you go out of your way to find the former 2, you have stable

[golden talon]

I read it as something that discord built in november of last year

[heady flicker]

all anti-malware is malware

[fluid ridge]

i disagree

kaspersky 😎

[golden talon]

windows defender is pretty based

[fluid ridge]

i dont trust defender's capabilities enough

[plush rivet]

why

defender is litterly the best security if not better

you heavily underestimate the security

[golden talon]

antivirus is stupid just dont download sus stuff

be your own antivirus

[dreamy quarry]

I personally only download Russian software with admin privileges

[fluid ridge]

i'd like to think im a good driver but i feel much safer with a seatbelt on 😉

[golden talon]

i disagree with the analogy

[fluid ridge]

and i download a lot of sus stuff from weird ass anime torrents to weird websites

i feel safer with an extra layer

[dreamy quarry]

Windows defender should be more than fine

[fluid ridge]

i also have adguard home network wide (pihole counterpart) as well as ublock running

[fluid ridge]

maybe for a lot of people it is, idk

i just personally use kaspersky

super light on system resources and excellent detection rates from what ive read

[heady flicker]

my web browser should be good enough for catching shady programs

[dreamy quarry]

Id be concerned with using a Russian based antivirus or any antivirus from a non privacy respecting country. Windows already has your data why not keep your eggs in the same basket in this case.

[heady flicker]

I swear they purposely made uninstalling mcafee slow

even has a big cancel button

[fluid ridge]

antivirus is inherently intrusive

unless your database is fully local, in which case it is probably outdated unless you manually update it from somewhere, there will be no privacy respecting antivirus

perhaps they will anonymize and aggregate things like detections and claim to not look at your files but any cloud based protection is already a foot into the door

as for the "russian company" part, honestly it is what it is

there's so much chinese and russian software out there, they probably already have all of your data

[unkempt widget]

at this point, you might as well just clean install, and back up whatever files you need into a usb or a cloud service or whatever

[fluid ridge]

hell, iirc tencent has a majority stake in discord

[heady flicker]

it has nothing installed

[fluid ridge]

there is no escape 👹

[heady flicker]

fresh out of the factory

with a bunch of bloatware

I think I'll be okay

I may have just bricked my laptop, but that's okay

Windows defender gets such a bad rap likely from antivirus company propaganda. From my understanding it works very well. But I haven’t used a windows computer for years so I could be wrong.

[unkempt widget]

i don't think it's a majority

[fluid ridge]

they're either the biggest shareholder or the majority owner

one of the two

tencent owns a lot of western companies and game companies and people dont even realize it

[unkempt widget]

discord isn't even publicly traded

[fluid ridge]

they own riot for example, so by proxy they own valorant and league

[heady flicker]

people also thought supercell was not majority owned by tencent

but it definitely is

[fluid ridge]

they dont have to be

[unkempt widget]

that means they're purposefully selling to tencent

[fluid ridge]

well either way they're involved

[full fossil]

Hi

[fluid ridge]

i did a quick google search and the numbers are all over the place, from "undisclosed" to "billions"

[unkempt widget]

yep, i saw the same thing

[fluid ridge]

but the point is they own part of discord and probably a pretty substantial amount too

[unkempt widget]

it's mainly hearsay

[tawny olive]

If discord goes public it would be a billion dollar company

The main reason is just data

[jaunty compass]

Thanks tencent, very cool

[tawny olive]

Collecting user data since 2016

just secured a GA ticket for f1

my second time to an actual race weekend

ROG Zephyrus M16 have stopped fingerprint sensor?

[eager spire]

hello im building my pc right now and i used a usb thumb drive to install windows. it asked for a license key but it wasnt connected to thee internet when i was building it. when i finally connected my lan cable, it said that i already had windows 10 pro. do i still need to buy windows or is this not going to expire?

[plush rivet]

Please don’t cross post

[heady flicker]

I wouldn't worry about it for now. Just click I don't have a product key

[exotic sleet]

Open settings and type "activate" it'll prompt you with "check activation" or something to that effect. Click that and see if it'll tell you if it's activated

[near nymph]

Finally done

Fuck it has a faulty thermistor

[full fossil]

What's that?

[unkempt widget]

a thermistor is a resistor that changes by the temperature

[full fossil]

Since when did you get educated? OwO

[unkempt widget]

learnt that in school

[polar steeple]

Discord was valued at 15 billion in 2021 lol

What the fuck

[unkempt widget]

it's a big company

[polar steeple]

That means nothing to valuation

[full fossil]

Lies >:[

[polar steeple]

In fact, it's worse

I get that Discord collects a lot of data but the data of a bunch of teenagers without income is not valuable

[dreamy quarry]

TikTok would disagree

[full fossil]

Discord must die

[polar steeple]

TikTok isn't full of teenagers without income

[unkempt widget]

how do i fix a video that's on very low bitrate?

[dreamy quarry]

I’d wager it has a similar demographic as discord

[polar steeple]

That wager would lose money

[dreamy quarry]

If not a higher concentration of younger people

[tired glade]

person using Discord

[polar steeple]

TikToks target demographic is women in their 20s

It's very much a valuable advertising platform

Discord is not

[unkempt widget]

also i'm not noticing any difference with super resolution, should i restart pc?

[polar steeple]

Bit rate is a measure of upload speeds and is constrained by the bandwidth available to you

[full fossil]

Keep friends close, but enemies closer

[dreamy quarry]

This whole sub is dedicated towards conversation surrounding tech, would that not be valuable advertising data?

[polar steeple]

If you're seeing compression artifacts from something you're streaming there's not that much you can do about it

[polar steeple]

No, because lions share of the people on this server are fucking broke

[unkempt widget]

can ai just not fix that?

[tired glade]

Yet, it doesn't work in digital age

[unkempt widget]

this is a fucking pc building server, pc building is quite an expensive hobby lol

[tired glade]

Not like collecting cars, or something

[unkempt widget]

does vsr not fix videos on bad bitrate?

[polar steeple]

Go look at the steam hardware survey

Most people are using previous gen or older parts

[dreamy quarry]

Catering towards a specific audience is just efficient even if some of those people are low income.

[unkempt widget]

most of us here don't use 1650s

[polar steeple]

It's a hobby largely inhabited by people without a lot of resources

[polar steeple]

That's 1) not verifiable and 2) likely wrong af

[unkempt widget]

i mean most people here who use this discord all the time generally have better rigs than a 1650

[tired glade]

1650 is most popular gpu on Steam

[polar steeple]

There are better platforms for that

YouTube, for example

[unkempt widget]

at least through my experience

btw wtf is your knowledge of "broke people"

[dreamy quarry]

Doesn’t mean that data companies don’t aggregate from every facet available to them, you’re data is essentially worth less then pennies.

[tired glade]

Not I lost

[full fossil]

I will bring discord down, mark my words!

[tired glade]

And replace with?

[unkempt widget]

cool, good for you

[full fossil]

You will see xP

[dreamy quarry]

AOL

[full fossil]

Good for everyone actually, no more nitro scam

Or performance problems

[tired glade]

I better replace all my online conversations with AI by that point

[full fossil]

Lol, you will love it xP

[tired glade]

I won't notice it, most likely

[full fossil]

It's inspired by discord OwO

[jaunty basin]

guilded:

[tired glade]

And it will fail in first 12 months

[full fossil]

Well, you will hear about it at least xD

[tired glade]

Like many discord clones

[full fossil]

Unlike others, ik what I'm doing xD
