[sonic barn]

Look at treasury yields sitting there since 2020 not going off their balance sheets

[neat rock]

People in SK don't have time to have kids, too busy working the grind

[unkempt widget]

china is seeing this issue, old people actually went on to protest, and old people are the pro-ccp people, so this situation is very concerning for china

[wind pulsar]

That's certainly a part of it, but definitely not the main thing

[sonic barn]

Real life RuneScape grinding

[neat rock]

@wind pulsar well... The women don't want to have kids because the inequality is so high. Their standard of life is high but at the cost of working to live and having no time for socialising

[unkempt widget]

the big baby boom from the great leap forward are all heading into retirement: (look at age 58)

[full fossil]

I don't get why poor people have children, like they can't house themselves or feed themselves but they still have children. that's human rights violations in my book and they shouldn't be allowed to but that's a very hot take

[neat rock]

The men want their women to be like they grew up in the 50s, the women want to taste those liberties felt in the west

[unkempt widget]

because poor people tend to be less educated
and they also have less access to contraceptives

bruh warship

[quaint dragon]

[unkempt widget]

i said tend to be, not always

[full fossil]

I live in one

[wind pulsar]

Poor people have lots of children so they can have lots of hands working, be it in the field or whereever, has always been like that

[wind pulsar]

The better the quality of life in the country, the less you see this kind of behavior

[unkempt widget]

yeah and that

[full fossil]

and it's stupid , more hands working and more mouths to feed

[quaint dragon]

It's also in areas with less things to do/can do financially, it's one of a few free things to pass time

[sonic barn]

Who wants to start a farm and return to monke, just have everything automated and then just sleep

[unkempt widget]

lack of contraceptives also plays in to this

[quaint dragon]

It's why rural Australia has issues with substances and teen pregnancy

It's the only things to do lmao, nothing else really when town is an hour drive and you're carless

[full fossil]

• the government rn just cares about the oligarchs and their own pockets , and they've brainwashed most of the population so were doomed anyways

[wind pulsar]

If you have six children the mouths to feed kinda outweigh the possible income. And a huge factor was also the pregnancy death toll, in the worst situations like 7 out of 10 children die very early

[sonic barn]

Nah, everyone I know we all have this saying "min wage, min effort. Only work how you are paid"

[quaint dragon]

Oh but when I suggest a market I get 4 replies instantly

[sonic barn]

And wages are so bad, everyone is basically underpaid. 2x min wage even can be hard to live comfortably

Unless you surround yourself with debt

Which is what they want. Kinda predatory

[idle nymph]

Well, fuck

I dont want the société to collapse before im dead

[sonic barn]

I do

[idle nymph]

Why

[full fossil]

The minimum wage is the median income in the UK

[idle nymph]

Uk fault cause of brexit, shit fucked up their economy

[echo canopy]

That makes no sense

[full fossil]

Not enough to live when average rent is higher than the median income

[full fossil]

The median wage is so low in most of the UK that it's close to the minimum wage

[neat rock]

Not really

[full fossil]

This is household income but yeah it's still pretty bad: "median household income in the UK was £30,500" - https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/householddisposableincomeandinequality/financialyear2020

here you are not able to be a waiter without college degree

even waiters require college degree because competition is so high because of free education

A Sgt in the army is on £42k a year and you can reach that without university or college education within 7 years

[full fossil]

here you need community college for army

[full fossil]

Where is that statistic coming from??? I know for a fact they make less

[neat rock]

[dull tapir]

1200eur or 1300eur per month for a soldier

[neat rock]

Can show my payslip right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dull tapir]

but cops and teachers are highest paying jobs here far more than software developers

which is funny compared to america where those are worst paying jobs

[neat rock]

@dull tapir British army pay v well tbh

[full fossil]

I know multiple Sargent's and they don't make 42k/y. Maybe you're just lucky? If they make that much, sign me up lol. I thought they made pennies

[dull tapir]

interesting here you earn decent money for a soldier compared to other jobs but not a lot

here there is almost no private companies almost all jobs are government jobs

pretty sure they phased out dvi at the 3000 line but dunno probably only display port or maybe hdmi

[neat rock]

Why not, it's far better than Google now

[fossil parrot]

i don't beleve in that

[dull tapir]

interesting here teachers and cops are highest paying jobs in government here teacher earns 3000eur per month and engineer earns like 1100eur at most

[neat rock]

@full fossil on a serious note, it's not a bad job. Happy to talk off line about it and will happily share the negatives and positives. I'm not wearing rose tinted glasses

[idle nymph]

Welp, in France teacher get paid 1400 euro after 10 year of study, the max being in end of carreer 3000 euro

[neat rock]

@fossil parrot have you ignored all the news about bing AI and chat gpt?

[echo canopy]

The uk minimum wage for anyone over 23 starting in April is around 10 pounds while according to the uk the average hourly wage is 13 pounds a hour in 2021. You can’t claim people almost make minimum when the average person makes 30% more then it.

[fossil parrot]

yeah

[dull tapir]

yes it depends on government how they set wages

[full fossil]

Thank you, guess my knowledge of pay rates is mostly from the Grenadier Guards as the (ACF) detachment I go to is affiliated to them

[idle nymph]

1400 is minimum wage

[full fossil]

Which country do you live in?

[dull tapir]

i just turned 23 and i get 4 or 5 per hour at most but this is about 1000 per month at most so yes awful

but i am not from uk

[idle nymph]

[dull tapir]

true well depends on government how much they want to raise here they raised them a lot teachers are paid as much as doctors

[idle nymph]

In France teacher and doctor mainifest to be paid good

[full fossil]

In the UK teachers are paid near minimum wage in most cases

So about 25k-30k a year I've been told

[dull tapir]

we have so many software developers and doctoral candidates and no jobs so people leave slovenia educates people for free and makes them leave

[full fossil]

I still find it nuts that a software dev can earn 120k/y in the US

[echo canopy]

My teachers (if they weren’t lying) were making close to 40k USD a year

[dull tapir]

yes this is how much i earn in a decade

i earn on average about 12k or 13k a year

[full fossil]

Google pays 80k/y for software devs here in the UK

[dull tapir]

we barely have any private companies here

[full fossil]

Jeez, where do you live?

[dull tapir]

slovenia

[echo canopy]

Because they can hold companies hostage. If you had one guy working on your database backend for 3 years imaging how long it will take for a new hire to learn the code base.

Arch. I'm using Wayland with Hyprland as my compositor

Steam, lutris, bottle and whatever custom stuff I whip up on Wine seems to resolve nearly all app issues. I wasn't using Adobe on windows so I don't need it.

nice one, glad it's all working nicely. I'm running Alpine w/ KDE Plasma on Wayland, Steam works great (despite what I'd expect)

[gentle slate]

Minecraft actually runs better on Linux for me. Especially with shaders. Not a single drop in fps with some needy shaders.

The thing that sealed the deal is a tiling window manager. It feels so much nicer

[red marten]

I don't use a tiling wm right now but I do prefer them. it can be a time sink but def worth it if it's your thing

[gentle slate]

Oh it's definitely a time sink. Still smoothing out stuff in the configs.

I also need to touch up the themes and coloring of stuff.

in my experience, some people suggest arch because they think that by learning to install arch you're better set up for using the system afterwards

[gentle slate]

Valid, but some basic knowledge and skills are expected. Like reading a wiki.

[red marten]

I think that argument makes sense if you're recommending a distro to someone with a decent programming background (like I'd suggest a sysadmin or smthn use arch), but it ignores that like.. most people are not technically minded in the slightest

Guys do you keep your pc case boxes and monitor boxes?

[toxic python]

for a few weeks, yes. In case I unpack, try and it doesn't work

But then I throw them away and if it actually breaks and I can make use of warranty I buy a box from the post office for 2€ or so.

[hollow needle]

sometimes, i just use them to holds all of my extra screws and cables

[lucid echo]

There is no simple answer to this
They all have varying levels of consistency across different component types and various generations of those components. Gigabyte consistently had the best X570 motherboards but that doesn’t mean all their motherboards are that good, for example.

It’s best assessed on a individual basis of the specific components you need.

[hollow needle]

its like asking which fast food place is objectively best, you cant

[lucid echo]

Any type of brand loyalty will almost always bite you in the ass eventually

[crimson dawn]

I think should throw mines away because it’s been like 3yrs and it’s past warranty purposes

[crimson dawn]

I do that too but I’m running out of space in my room

[hollow needle]

i only kept my mobo box and gpu box so not too much space

[lean solstice]

Hey is it easy to repair a curved 144hz 2k monitor?

And would it cost much?

[tardy terrace]

Depends on what's broken with it

[crimson dawn]

I kept everything 🤣

[lean solstice]

just the display

[hollow needle]

no way

[tardy terrace]

the panel?

[hollow needle]

the display would probably cost the most out of everything

[tardy terrace]

The panel is like 85% of the overall cost

if it's physically broken there is no saving it.

No worries it isn't mine, I asked because my idea was to buy one and repair it. The seller sells it for really cheap

[tardy terrace]

You'd need new liquid crystals, new glass, etc

[hollow needle]

usualy isnt worth it, you wouldnt make much

if anything

[ocean stone]

Time to get the professor

[shut violet]

New monitor time

[eternal hearth]

first insert the dinglebop

[shut violet]

Then you get the shleem

[lucid echo]

if you’re here asking if it’s possible to repair that, that task is way too far out of your league

purchasing the tools and replacement parts would cost several times whatever you’d pay for the broken monitor itself

[hollow needle]

prob not out of their leauge, but getting the panel would be a challenge, and it would be pricey

[gentle slate]

somethign confuses me about linux and disk storage

I have allocated 438.6GB to my root partition. But it only lists 390 GB free.

the swap is 8GB, and the rest of the folders adds up to 20GB.

where have my 10GB gone? Who took them?

[pulsar violet]

Is a Yubico Key a good idea, cause I want to start taking my security seriously

[gilded plinth]

Yes

[old shale]

yes

[pulsar violet]

Alr

[gilded plinth]

Get a backup one too

[old shale]

Any hardware authentication with FIDO2 is ok

[brazen relic]

the two ones you've mentioned aren't PC brands per se, they make components but not of all the components that make up a PC

[manic torrent]

there is an allocation that is only available to root, to save you from yourself. You can remove this using tune2fs

So now that writers and logistics and so on are moving over to the lab what will LTT do with all the new space in the main office?

[pulsar violet]

I miss the racket restring video

[vapid smelt]

10900 is old and outdated

[gentle slate]

Well, I have encountered my first game that will absolutely not run on Linux, outside of a VM with passthrough

[past egret]

i require more coconutes

[manic torrent]

I need more vespene gas

[steep spoke]

Sadly have seen this petty often now worst offender for me is still a game that has linux binaries but after an update broke linux comparability and since it uses an anticheat you can‘t use proton also funny that they stopped developing for said game directly after said update soooo yeah still shows linux as a supported os trough……

[idle skiff]

If I buy an Ender 3 printer will I be wishing I bought something else or will I be fine

[manic torrent]

yes

[idle skiff]

Yes to which

Or just yes in general

[gentle slate]

Which windows ver would be the lightest for a vm for a small game?

I gotta emulate windows. But windows 10 is chonky.

I dont wanna emulate 20GB of windows for a 500mb game.

[cosmic ore]

both W10 and W11 will detect when it's in a VM and run far fewer services

[gentle slate]

Ohh. interesting

oh wait shoot. I could just repurpose a shitty old 500GB hdd

[cosmic ore]

Yeah, they trade blows for the most part

[idle nymph]

More 4070ti

[idle nymph]

Wait really?

Were talking gpu not cpu

[vapid smelt]

4070ti graphics card shortage they are having problems selling them

[cosmic ore]

on average 4080 beats 7900xt but not always

[rapid surge]

The XTX is the one comparable with the 4080. The XT is a bit lower.
Unfortunately GPU manufacturers are entirely unwilling to use clear and consistent naming schemes.

[rapid surge]

Well, they aren't alone, most of the tech industry is terrible at naming stuff

[cosmic ore]

names suck in general

[rapid surge]

Only PSUs and SSDs are ok

[idle nymph]

Where is the 4070ti

[vapid smelt]

we dont talk about shitty gpus

[rapid surge]

There is? the 50s are usually a refresh much later in a generation cycle

[idle nymph]

There isnt any

[idle nymph]

Based, but the whats the 3080 doing here? Like its vram is shit

[vapid smelt]

7900xt and 4070ti are going for the same price now, making the 4070ti a waste of many for gamers imo

4070ti is slower

[idle nymph]

Thats an 6950xt,not an 7950

No, rhe exact opposite actually

[vapid smelt]

and the 5090ti is on its way too!

[manic torrent]

all video cards are overpriced garbage

[idle nymph]

Nice, coopa troopa make good list

I suck at making list cause idk shit about cpu cooler ssd and mobo

[plush rivet]

Big thing was they were making money off it

so steam kinda can’t let that slide anyways

[past egret]

no its because they hired the dev fired from nexon who was working on the same thing

and then they used the same idea

[indigo plume]

Well it got taken off steam still

[past egret]

but idc, fuck corpo shits, go indie dev go

[past egret]

yes it usually happens when a DMCA strike is active

[proven mauve]

any recommendation on a photo printer?

[shut violet]

Trace your screen and use highlighter pens for colour

[manic torrent]

printers are the worst

[proven mauve]

I know

[past egret]

pay an artist to draw it out instead of using machines

[hasty valve]

What quality photo prints are you going for?

[proven mauve]

i want color acracy

[hasty valve]

Like, you want a dye-sub printer rec?

whats that

[hasty valve]

what do I lose

Epson kinda makes crap at least they use to

[hasty valve]

It's 8.5" vs 13" wide

[proven mauve]

okay so larger format

[hasty valve]

But also $350 vs $850

Why do laser based printers need cartridges? Money? Or is it something else?

[manic torrent]

Because that's what goes on the paper?

[shut violet]

Toner

[echo canopy]

because toner is "burnt" onto the page with lazers

[rapid surge]

The laser isn't burning the paper itself black

[shut violet]

The paper isn’t burnt - static electricity is used to attach the toner to the paper

[proven mauve]

what is more color accrete laser or cart

[full fossil]

I thought that it used multiple tiny high powered lasers in an array with the ability to individually turn each laser off and on

[proven mauve]

i know laser is more cost effective

[echo canopy]

lazer is just plain better at a initial higher cost of investment

[rapid surge]

And significantly higher particle emissions

[full fossil]

You can get cheap laser printers for £100 nowadays

[full fossil]

There's a cost point where you stop caring about the environment (in some specific cases)

[rapid surge]

With an ink jet printer using tanks you get a lot closer to the cost per page of laser printers

[full fossil]

Laser printers are also faster

[cosmic ore]

Consumer inkjet sucks ass and insanely overpriced over time

[manic torrent]

done that too. took some amphetamines

3060 is dope

What you on about boy

[unkempt widget]

a 6650xt exists, so does a 3060 ti

[manic torrent]

you still count at 8? 🙂

[unkempt widget]

but there's a 3060, at 80% performance of a 3060 ti, completely pointless

[manic torrent]

my "build" count is more handwavy, because I am constantly doing stuff

[barren nova]

3060 has more Vram, which maybe better for someone's personally use

theres competitive airsoft (speedsoft) and they dont use rifiles but yes the point is fun so most people still use rifles

i had a rifle i borrowed from my friend and that shit broke so i just used a pistol for the rest of the matches and it went fine if not better

maybe i just got noodle arms :/

[random plank]

hi

[fossil dirge]

I don't think I'm going to plan on getting a Razer Blade

Since I don't need a gaming laptop

My friend advised me that I don't need it since I already have a custom built PC

Plus I have my Steam Deck so I can play games on the go

[eternal rivet]

when chat do I go to if I need help with something?

[blazing lily]

Nah people sweat their life at airsoft, I rarely play pubs because there’s usually a group of dudes with insane rifles sitting back mapping people with their 2k gun

Like the guys themselves are usually chill but that playstyle is so fkn boring so me n my friends usually rent a field and shoot each other with nerf guns

😒

[sonic barn]

you've been saying this for a year here

[fossil dirge]

I'm just saying

You guys are pissing me off I'm saying that I was going to get the Razer Blade but now I'm planning on getting a MacBook Pro since I don't need to game on the go

[safe ember]

i respect that icl

i got a macbook air m1 that i use for editing and youtube and when i want to play games i get on my pc

[sonic barn]

I don't know why they even cover razer products on the channel anymore, they screwed ltt a ton of times in the past

[safe ember]

if i wanna hop on minecraft in bed or some shit just to fuck about with my mates on an smp it runs it 60fps so its not that bad

[fossil dirge]

I agree a Mac is all I need since I can just do programming and productivity when I need to use it on the go

[fossil dirge]

Yeah but Razer still has great products

[safe ember]

mate razer products are so shit nowadays

[fossil dirge]

I actually agree on that

[safe ember]

theyre marketed towards children/parents of children because thats the main demographic

[fossil dirge]

Honestly I think Apple makes better products

[stray apex]

Lolwut

[fossil dirge]

I trust Apple

[stray apex]

Razer is not marketing $150 ultralight gaming mice to parents

[fossil dirge]

Apple are not meant for games but they're products are very reliable

[stray apex]

Or $3000 gaming laptops

[safe ember]

ok fair enough

i just have a bad taste in my mouth after their goxlr ripoff which turned out to be complete shit

[full fossil]

OOH guys, a little off topic but. Imagine being pulled over for DUI while sober

[rugged bridge]

a friend of mine uses an apple mouse for gaming
it died in the middle of a game and i just bust out laughing

[sonic barn]

that die in 2 years

[stray apex]

Anyone buying a razer audio product got what they deserved

[safe ember]

lol my g pro wireless do that sometimes

[full fossil]

better than getting pulled over for DUI while sober shrugs

[sonic barn]

the kraken gen 1 was pretty good

[rugged bridge]

at least you can charge it while using it kek

[stray apex]

I doubt it

[sonic barn]

and the deathadder v1

[fossil dirge]

I do have Razer products

[rugged bridge]

never owned a razer product in my life

[fossil dirge]

I have the Razer Huntsman, DeathAdder, Kraken Tournament Edition

[sonic barn]

I had my hyper x cloud 2s for 8 yrs, which is just the takstar pro 80s when eq'd

[stray apex]

Razer mice are good
That's the only category that they're actually good at

[fossil dirge]

I agree

[stray apex]

I haven't seen people complaining about the newer blades breaking, so it's possible that they've fixed that

[sonic barn]

check reddit and the razer forums

[stray apex]

But then again they are newer so
Not gonna have as many

[sonic barn]

they keep the mosfets under that vapour chamber

[rugged bridge]

ltt forums > razer forums

[sonic barn]

wait they removed the forums now lol

[rugged bridge]

did they even exist?

[sonic barn]

yes

its now razer insider

[vapid smelt]

who would willing buy a a razer product

[stray apex]

I buy their mice

because logitech is too cheap to update the g pro line to usb-c

[fossil dirge]

I think Razer fix the Blade

I was going to get the Razer Blade but now I'm thinking on getting the MacBook Pro

[sonic barn]

https://insider.razer.com/systems-14/razer-blade-18-firmware-and-blade-16-and-18-screen-flicker-and-image-retention-updates-44324

[fossil dirge]

Plus I think Apple products are more reliable

[sonic barn]

https://insider.razer.com/
first page is just issues

business laptops are the most reliable. Although maybe not HP

lenovo has the best warranties

[stray apex]

that doesn't tell us anything about failure rate

nobody is going to the razer forums to rave about how great it is

[sonic barn]

does ltt forum complain about products breaking?

[stray apex]

does LTT sell complex products?

LTT doesn't sell anything that should even remotely approach the failure rate of consumer electronics

what, is someone going to drop their t-shirt?

[sonic barn]

the backpack is like 350$

[stray apex]

so?

[sonic barn]

thats more than my thinkpad x13

[stray apex]

surprisingly affordable

[fossil dirge]

Don't forget Apple

[sonic barn]

check the razer subreddit, same thing

[stray apex]

did you buy one from 2015 or something

[sonic barn]

2020 its the x13 gen 1 amd 4650u 16gb 512gb

[stray apex]

normal human beings are also not going to the razer subreddit

[sonic barn]

I got it in 2020 for 500$ cad

[stray apex]

that's a ridiculous price

[sonic barn]

it retailed for 2k

[stray apex]

anyways
a backpack is obviously less prone to breaking than a laptop

[sonic barn]

I got it off a bank investment firm

[fossil dirge]

I have the Lenovo Legion but I'm going to sell it to get the MacBook Pro

[stray apex]

it's like repair shops complaining that lenovo or whatever made shit laptops because they kept getting broken ones in
and then it turns out that lenovo just drastically outsells other brands

[sonic barn]

for reference 500$ cad is about 350$ usd

[stray apex]

you can't make conclusions about product reliability without proper data

[sonic barn]

lenovo has their schematics and parts available and well documented

[fossil dirge]

Lenovo makes great products

[stray apex]

so?

[sonic barn]

_ _

[fossil dirge]

But I think Apple is the only best company that makes products

[stray apex]

do you not understand basic statistics

[sonic barn]

they are one of the most repair friendly brands out there

[fossil dirge]

I prefer Apple

[opal heath]

i will never use apple products

[fossil dirge]

Apple makes the best products

[sonic barn]

avid razer enjoyer

[stray apex]

...
so?
the point
is that repair people
developed an unrealistic view of laptop brand reliability
because they didn't consider why they might be getting more broken laptops

[stray apex]

average public chat plebian

[full fossil]

What stats are we talknig about?

[stray apex]

unless you know someone who's for some ungodly reason deployed a fleet of recent razer blades with reliability issues

[dreamy rose]

cannot into basic math

[sonic barn]

what made you say so?

[stray apex]

[sonic barn]

last I checked your mom and I counted the number of times we slept together

[hollow pulsar]

Why?

[stray apex]

jokes on you I have two dads

[vapid smelt]

[stray apex]

I don't know who that lady is but you should probably get tested

[sonic barn]

no wonder why you're not intelligent

[stray apex]

cringe homophobia

[hollow pulsar]

That’s not what is being said.

[stray apex]

dunno 'bout that

[hollow pulsar]

What was said and the conclusion you came to are 2 different things. But I’m going to say lets go ahead and drop it.

[stray apex]

anyways

there is, to the best of my knowledge, no publicly available data that suggests that recent models of razer blades have notable failure rates

[sonic barn]

have you ever own one?

[stray apex]

what would that single datapoint have to do with anything?

[sonic barn]

because I did and I can tell you the software is more buggy then anything about the qc issues

[sonic barn]

discord.gift/Udzwm3hrQECQBnEEFFCEwdSq

[stray apex]

we are discussing hardware failure rates

you've refused to provide any convincing evidence that recent models of razer blades have high failure rates
so

not much point in continuing to talk

[hollow pulsar]

Are we talking about razer keyboards?

[sonic barn]

blades

[stray apex]

the razer blade is a thin and light gaming laptop

[plush rivet]

razer sucks in general, easy done

[hollow pulsar]

Ohhh. Nvm then.

[sonic barn]

*light (5+ pounds)

[plush rivet]

a 2000 dollar laptop is never worth it

[stray apex]

older models developed a reputation for breaking, and LTT did experience extreme failure rates when deployed to their (at the time much smaller) team

[sonic barn]

my thinkpad is 2pounds

[plush rivet]

that gets smoked by a 900 dollar laptop

[manic torrent]

no laptop is ever worth it

[plush rivet]

M2s are

[stray apex]

as far as I'm aware, nobody has produced any data for the newer models and released them publicly

[manic torrent]

everything is garbage.

[tawdry musk]

A $2,000. Laptop is actually worth it, every penny in fact

[manic shard]

i have a book that weighs less than that whats your point

[stray apex]

we should really just all buy consoles for optimal price-performance ratio

[sonic barn]

5 pounds for a laptop isn't light

especially if you lug around the charger

[manic shard]

for that weight you're getting a stronger frame and better hardware

[plush rivet]

your late people been doing it, mobile and console gaming are massive compared to PC gaming

[stray apex]

it's light for a 15" laptop

[sonic barn]

alumnium vs magnesium, doubt

[plush rivet]

i think genshin alone made over a billion dollars off of mobile alone

[stray apex]

a razer blade doesn't weigh significantly more than a similarly sized xps

[manic shard]

if you prefer weight over anything else just buy a notebook to draw on

[stray apex]

just buy an ipad pro

[chilly otter]

bro its sad that my mom's mac can run minecraft better than my pc

[manic shard]

honestly i think ipads might make laptops eventually not in the near future tho, alot of ipads vs laptops are just one you get a keyboard with and one you dont

[tawdry musk]

Sometimes it's better when idiots just stick to comparing dick sizes

[manic shard]

i forgot an entire word in that sentance
obsolete* ☠️

[stray apex]

they're already starting to dig into the laptop market for light general use

they're vastly superior for handwriting which appeals to some people, and they're not really meaningfully worse for basic tasks

[manic shard]

even some phones are getting fast enough to compete with some low end gaming pc's (they still cant play the same games tho they're just on the same spec)

like pretty low end not modern low end

[ocean sonnet]

tablets with keyboards have a fatal flaw tho, they're top-heavy

they're not at all convenient to use, the center of weight placed in the vertical part makes it very impractical for anything but very stabilized position on a desk

whereas the screen part on laptops weighs nothing

[tawdry musk]

My laptop is a galaxy book2 360, it beats everyone elses laptop here because I purchased it for myself based on my own thoughts and feelings
Everyone elses laptop sucks!

[hollow pulsar]

Just use what best fits your use-case.

[ocean sonnet]

wait but then what would we argue about

[hollow pulsar]

Everything else.

[next dove]

It looks great on photos in internet

I mean, I like small laptops as a form factor

[tawdry musk]

That's a great point

[next dove]

But I would be scared af to break it in half by accident

[tawdry musk]

Haha, the screen already has a hairline fracture

[ocean sonnet]

new framework 16" looks

finally we can have keyboards just as we want them

[sonic barn]

I hate the framework keyboards, it feels like a acer keyboard

[tawdry musk]

Cooks like an oven in the Australian heat too

[sonic barn]

thats an intel feature

[next dove]

No tactile feedback?

[tawdry musk]

Great for gaming

[sonic barn]

its a bit mushy feeling imo

I don't know if it was just the one I bought before, but I refunded it

[next dove]

Although I have gaming laptop, I wouldn't say laptops are great for gaming

[hollow pulsar]

Not going to lie… I’m seriously considering it to replace my Desktop. I figure I can even get a 10gbe through a dock.

[ocean sonnet]

I wouldn't really ever consider that but as a laptop it seems nice

[hollow pulsar]

Need to know more about the dGPU though.

[next dove]

Desktop won't get replaced but turned into home server

[dreamy rose]

if ARM defeats x86 we will have PC 2

[next dove]

If only windows will make arm build

[sonic barn]

if only windows 11 supported arm, oh wait... it does

[dreamy rose]

Windows is on ARM

[ocean sonnet]

what would be the point, 95% of windows software wouldn't run on it

[hollow pulsar]

That’s how I roll actually- old desktop migrates over to replace my server. Old server gets donated or given away.

[sonic barn]

it does under that emulation layer

[next dove]

Oh man, sorry, I stuck in 2020

[ocean sonnet]

you're stuck with UWP apps on windows arm

[dreamy rose]

you would still have known in 2020

[ocean sonnet]

I've actually heard people complain about no Windows ARM server variants

[hollow pulsar]

Hindsight is twenty-twenty.

[tawdry musk]

I'm not much of a gamer, but laptops are great for gaming if you don't trash the things

[ocean sonnet]

which apparently microsoft is using internally but are not making a public release

[manic torrent]

what?

[tawdry musk]

Preserve resale value for upgrading

[ocean sonnet]

yeah hard disagree on "laptops great for gaming", their only advantage is portability, which if you don't even need it isn't even an advantage

[next dove]

I don't know much about windows platforms, the last time I googled something like that was when I tried to install x64 Windows on tablet with x64 atom processor and x32 bootloader

[sonic barn]

you can just remote into it

[next dove]

I would say they aren't portable in sense like phones/tablets are but in sense to easy deploy a workstation near closest plug

[dreamy rose]

Windows has been on mobile devices for decades.

[dreamy rose]

hard disagree here. when if you have no space for a tower?

[tawdry musk]

Workstations aren't ideal for gaming on

[next dove]

I don't want to recall Win8.1, but I would agree the touch IO is way better than on Linux

[ocean sonnet]

that's a very niche scenario. unless you're stationed on a submarine or a space ship, I can't imagine that you literally have no physical space around

[dreamy rose]

or you move between houses? there's reason these things exist. and absolutely they help us keep power draw down since they love sucking down power. without that the Architectures would be sucking 1000W each

[dreamy rose]

i hate Windows, but have to admit, 8.1 was pretty good. last time we got windows without spyware.

[tawdry musk]

If you want to game on a workstation, you might also have an interest in hacking around

[ocean sonnet]

the primary reason for the popularity of gaming laptops is because people need a laptop anyway since they move around, and can't justify the cost of 2 computers, hence they get one that can do both, which then has to be a laptop

[next dove]

Basically my windows usage was like
WinXP -> Win7 -> Win10 -> Win10 LTSC + Ubuntu Dualboot -> Arch + Tiny10 for games

[small bolt]

I need something with better battery life, my HP Victus is a real powerhouse but it only lasts maybe 4-5 hours on battery saver

[dreamy rose]

still. they will exist forever. you may as well hate it but that fact cant be changed.

[sonic barn]

a gaming laptop is more expensive than a desktop with similar specs

[ocean sonnet]

and yea I did mention portability as an advantage initially. so moving very frequently falls under that

[next dove]

oh geez, I forgot to mention I use arch btw /joke

[small bolt]

Thermal design has gotten a lot better in modern gaming laptops so overheating is really only an issue if a laptop is poorly designed at this point

[ocean sonnet]

huh? you make it sound like I have a crusade against them. hating something that is not forced upon you is a ridiculous concept. I just said they're not actually better experience unless you need the portability

[sonic barn]

some people do travel a lot so remote work isn't possible for them

[dreamy rose]

i went 7/ 8.1/ 7/ 10/ Xubuntu/ 10 +Manjaro dualboot

[ocean sonnet]

still cheaper than both a decent non-gaming laptop and a gaming computer combined though

[sonic barn]

chromebook and gaming desktop vs 3000$ laptop

[dreamy rose]

what you said is that they arent good

[next dove]

Dude, you made me recall my old Acer EEE PC that had extra holes in case to make it work

[sonic barn]

I could build a rtx 2070 pc for 800$ cad ~550$ usd for

[small bolt]

The EeePC was iconic though

[next dove]

I didn't say I didn't like it, It was a great cute little boy with replaceable battery (I miss them), It just had a lot of mods in my case

[small bolt]

I still want a GPD Win because netbooks have a special place in my heart

[dreamy rose]

i am stuck with a 2012 laptop that has one.

[tawdry musk]

Why buy a GPU when you can just use an Intel/Xe solution

[sonic barn]

all you need is runescape

[hushed goblet]

like it how i know nothing

[ocean sonnet]

why mention intel xe when we have rdna3 iGPUs

derp

[small bolt]

Now that Chromebooks run Android apps I am definitely on the verge of breaking down and purchasing one for the battery life

[next dove]

I have gtx1650 inside my laptoop but use integrated one because my battery would die in other case

[hushed goblet]

guys can I steal aprime edit

[dreamy rose]

the 1650 is dead

[small bolt]

I was thinking about getting a Samsung Tab S series but now I'm not sure. An active stylus would be great for notetaking but do I really need it?

[next dove]

You made me interested about this point

[ocean sonnet]

1650 might soon be overrun by iGPUs

[tawdry musk]

But for real, GPU's are losing their edge for gamers

[ocean sonnet]

wdym "losing their edge"

[dreamy rose]

780M > 1650 Max Q

[small bolt]

I'm using a 3050Ti Max Q it does everything I need it to do and at the time of purchase I couldn't justify the extra expense of a 3060 laptop

[next dove]

To be honest it was the first gpu ever in my life than had more than 3 digits in the name (before I had gtx960)

[small bolt]

Most games run fine at 1080p 144hz

[next dove]

So, for me it was an upgrade in any case ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dreamy rose]

i'm on a GT 540M

[small bolt]

Oh one other advantage of budget gaming laptops is that you get a backlit keyboard often for less than comparable ultrabooks

[tawdry musk]

I mean, a GPU is just turning in to a networked PC that your CPU is attached to, they may help with a few shaders, but they introduce more latency into the experience

[small bolt]

I don't objectively NEED a backlit keyboard but it's nice to have

[quaint dragon]

Do you live in a supply closet?

[ocean sonnet]

I use my laptop in the dark quite often so I wouldn't even consider something without a backlit keyboard

[dreamy rose]

some do

[quaint dragon]

Bruh

[sonic barn]

the bodies in my closet do

[small bolt]

I used to make do without one but it saves me so much time and effort that I can't go back

[next dove]

Just hold the flashlight in the mouth while typing /sarcasm

[small bolt]

I used to tilt the screen down so I could see where the keys were to orient my hands

[quaint dragon]

If people are living in somewhere with the same square metre as a broom closet, their financial priority should be moving out, rather than dropping 1k on a laptop

[dreamy rose]

i'm not talking about myself anyway. i have room for a Tower. just no reason to actually have one

[quaint dragon]

No reason?

[ocean sonnet]

sounds like a very far fetched argument in any case

that's like "what if I don't have space for a horizontal bed so I must sleep sitting"

[dreamy rose]

i have a need to be moving around, its pointless to own a tower when a laptop games perfectly fine and does what i need anyway.

[quaint dragon]

Ok so portability

[dreamy rose]

the TUF A16 Advantage is perfect

[ocean sonnet]

exactly, like I said, its advantage is portability, so if you need that it's your only option

[quaint dragon]

That's fine, but if you don't need to be mobile, then just no

[next dove]

Bruh this hits into my heart because I sometimes doze off on the table because I am too lazy to get to the bed

[manic torrent]

I just do both.

[quaint dragon]

I have a laptop as an auxiliary device, meaning my computer is here, all well and good, but if I want to be on the couch and google something, I can grab the laptop and do that

[dreamy rose]

the Catalyst for this conversation was "Laptops game bad"

[next dove]

I have F15 and would give a lot to make it not look so edgy

[quaint dragon]

They do, if you compare the exact same specs and price

[ocean sonnet]

I am on the couch right now but my TV is the display 😄

[quaint dragon]

Hahaha, well, yeh, but you get what I mean

[small bolt]

I like my HP Victus because it can almost pass as a non-gaming laptop

[next dove]

It looks minimalistic, i like it

[solid moat]

Howdy

[next dove]

It's going great

[dreamy rose]

that's just plain wrong. laptops game perfectly fine. you don't compare a laptop part to a PC Part and expect the same performance. you're stupid if you do that. Laptops are obviously using lower powered components due to heat, and in a smaller Formfactor you have to go lower power. SFF builds take this L too.

[ocean sonnet]

SFF builds do surprisingly well in the cooling department actually

[quaint dragon]

You just proved my point

[ocean sonnet]

anyway, it was never a question of whether they were "good enough to use", it was about which is a better experience assuming you don't need the portability, which is what my original argument was about

[dreamy rose]

how? that doesnt make them bad.

[ocean sonnet]

no one even said they were bad. just "not great"

[quaint dragon]

Yeh

[lucid echo]

I take my Corsair 1000D to the coffee shop to play roblox

[quaint dragon]

My point is, if money is no object, sure, but for most people it is, and if you see CPU X do Y performance, at Z price, and then A GPU do B performance at C price, etc etc, and you look at expected performance, and sum of parts, then the laptop will simply just be more for less

[next dove]

To be honest, you would make me respect you in this case

[ocean sonnet]

on a related topic, I've been told that wanting a case with handles on top is silly because I should never move my case around at home 😄

[quaint dragon]

Ok that is silly

[night heron]

i play wizard101 while im at work on my personal macbook

[quaint dragon]

However, it's silly to not want handles

[small bolt]

Sometimes I wish I got something with a little better battery life but I don't regret the hardware upgrade, my CPU is powerful enough that it's still comfortable to use in battery saver

[ocean sonnet]

yea even if you don't move it often, the handles make it like 10x easier

[quaint dragon]

The amount of times I've had to move my pc I need more fingers and toes to count on

[small bolt]

GameCube handle

[ocean sonnet]

especially with a big and heavy case

[quaint dragon]

I just watched the video with Jake and that TUF gaming one

[next dove]

I see 3 variables, It would be possible to determine a formula of best laptop /joke

[quaint dragon]

I'm considering getting it, or something along the lines atleast

[next dove]

TUF one?

[small bolt]

I would obviously use a broken one because I don't advocate for butchering retro hardware but it'd be fun to do a micro PC build in a GameCube housing

[quaint dragon]

Yeh it was some Asus sponsored vid

[next dove]

This would be a Machine learning shit ig

[next dove]

Kudos to Asus, It is really easy to repair TUF laptops

[full fossil]

Depart transport hub is airplane right?

[dreamy rose]

you aren't gonna see a 7950HX laptop this gen. that's not happening. then the fact that AMD has M/S variants for laptop GPUS also tell you "Performance isn't the same, don't cry about it" the problem lies within Intel and Nvidia's marketing. Nvidia choosing to make ZERO indication and intel not really making any difference in the names.

[next dove]

At least my one is a mutant of 4 different laptops from F15 series

[dreamy rose]

i tend to think 7945 is a smaller number than 7950.

[next dove]

Also nvidia drivers sucks on linux tbh

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia in general Sucks

[quaint dragon]

Ok had a look, it was a ShortCircuit a week ago titled The All Asus PC

[next dove]

Thanks to asus linux community, their g15 linux kernel is going good

[dreamy rose]

i hope 5000 series becomes their Bulldozer.

[quaint dragon]

I bought an AMD card the other day

[ocean sonnet]

you aren't gonna see a 7950HX laptop because the lineups are 7x20, 7x30, 7x35, 7x40, 7x45, there can be no 7950 😄

[night heron]

cap

[quaint dragon]

It's more or less equally as capable as the Nvidia one that I replaced, and the Nvidia one was working

I just wanted to move from green for so long

[dreamy rose]

yeah exactly, you arent seeing the same name.

[ocean sonnet]

but that does not imply lower performance tier

that's just the changed model number system

[stray apex]

AMD might not be able to compete with Nvidia but by golly are they coming after the USB forum

[next dove]

lower performance laptops have their neigh and I like them

[dreamy rose]

AMD has effectively made their naming scheme more open. you can figure out the 7735 is the 6800

[next dove]

They usually lighter, sometimes smaller, ideal for the cases when you need a typewriter thing

[ocean sonnet]

nah tbh the system has consistency. unlike USB

[dreamy rose]

is it confusing to people who dont know? maybe. but it TELLS you what you get

[next dove]

And their battery doesn't die when you open firefox

[stray apex]

ah yes
2000
3000
4000
5000
7040 lmao

[dreamy rose]

yeah. more concistency. they didnt rename entire generations

[ocean sonnet]

oh gee changing the system once after 6 years, how terrible

[barren nova]

My brother doesn't agree that the 1080ti is still valid, (his father bought him a 3060 😂) my 1080ti goes hard 💪

[ocean sonnet]

besides USB literally retconned naming repeatedly lol

[night heron]

yeah that's exactly why it's not good well done you get it

[stray apex]

amd fanboys on their way to defend the most dogshit decision:

[night heron]

they gave people 6 years to learn how it works and then completely changed it for no real benefit

[quaint dragon]

My 1060 is still valid, and that's what I replaced (the 6gb variant)

[next dove]

I don't know the gpu naming
for me gpu goes brr and brr is brr
/sarcasm

[ocean sonnet]

you can tell a lot by the model number now. that wasn't the case before. it was an improvement. with the previous gen there was no clear part of the model number that indicated architecture, now there is. I don't see why you'd complain

[stray apex]

wut
the part that indicates architecture
is the first fucking number

[ocean sonnet]

no, it's the last 2
