resolve free is basically resolve paid and is 10 fold better than vegas

i paid for vegas 17 too, but i edit videos exclusively in resolve, the free version is good enough for 99% of most users and 99% more advanced than vegas

premiere is fucking ass, it's built on top of a codebase that's older than my grandfather and is terribly optimized + costs a shit load

[pliant karma]

it do be that way

@fluid ridge if I’m not mistaken didn’t davinci resolve have malware tho?

[fluid ridge]

not that im aware no - DVR is THE industry standard for professional color grading of film and TV

uhhhh, you're mistaken, unless you can back that shit up with sources.

@manic torrent I don’t have source but I do remember awhile back a lot of people were complaining about it or something

One of the reasons I used Vegas actually..

[summer folio]

Stop being part of the problem.
Use open source stuff instead.

Software should never cost a dime

[manic torrent]

ok there stallman, lets get you back inside

[summer folio]

Yay! New TechLinked!

[cosmic ore]

I don't think there's any even usable FOSS nonlinear video editor

[manic torrent]

DVR doesn't cost anything though - free is not the same thing as open source

[cosmic ore]

VLC last tried to make an editor and it failed pretty badly

[manic torrent]

DVR being free will mean there's not much drive to do so as well

[cosmic ore]

frankly I'm rather shocked that Blender exists and is as good as it is

one of the poster childs of FOSS imo

[gilded quest]

I agree. Everyone should work for free and be forced to starve to death on the streets

[cosmic ore]

i write software out of the good of my heart

[manic torrent]

incorrect. everyone should work for free and be given what they need

Microsoft: Use Bing, people!

Also Microsoft: No, not like that!

[fluid ridge]

honestly bing is about as good as duckduckgo, but why use bing at that point when you can take the option that doesnt send your search history to MI6

[wind pulsar]

I mean they can now since they effectively own OpenAI now

[fluid ridge]

maybe after bing's new chatGPT integration it'll be better than DDG, but im pretty sure DDG is working on it's own AI stuff

duckduckgo does not log your searches

it doesn't even log IP addresses which is why it works on tor and other VPNs without triggering captchas

[gilded quest]

cause bing pays me to search

[wispy marsh]

They want to collect people's data using Bing UI. They don't want people to scrape from them. Each version of each instance of personal data for the average user can sell up to $10~$20.

[fluid ridge]

Sorry, no privateering pirating through ddg for you.

[fluid ridge]

"Privacy-focussed search engine DuckDuckGo has said it will not censor or remove results for popular piracy sites like The Pirate Bay.

DuckDuckGo is a popular alternative to search engines run by tech giants, like Google or Microsoft’s Bing, as it does not track sensitive data like users’ IP addresses.

It also provides cleaner results in some cases, such as with file-sharing sites used to stream and torrent films and music for free, which are typically censored or downranked by competitors."

IDK, seems to be mixed messaging here

either way, when i use DDG through Tor or DDG normally i still find the various websites that i need in order to sail the 7 seas

[wispy marsh]

So yeah, I never spent money on clubbing. Mostly because I bought most of my own things and I never went to work before 17

[fluid ridge]

the only thing google owns is a reputation of being dookey

This channel is effectively used as off-topic though lmao

So much so that I actually have off-topic disabled, since it's pointless

wow they made boosts insanely expensive now

[wispy marsh]

I can't say whether I think your character* looks cute or not.

[wind pulsar]

That's FF14, osu dms look entirely different

[fluid ridge]

5 dollars per boost is literally more than nitro basic

[plush rivet]

How.long.

[fluid ridge]

they also drastically lowered the number of boosts needed to get to level 3, it went from 50 to 14

[full fossil]

@fluid ridge just installed davinci seems fine ty. Is this essentially better then a paid version of Vegas?

[wind pulsar]

Yeah because 50 boosts is a lot of fucking money lmao

[vapid smelt]

is this vr?

[gleaming harbor]

5 bucks to get bragging rights and to get the purple chat 😎😐😌😔

[summer folio]

All versions of Vegas is free, what you mean?

[full fossil]

@summer folio wym

@fluid ridge even better still as free?

Ah, modern fashion. Highly appreciable, but not my style.

DVR free is insanely generous, you only lack a couple of niche features + GPU acceleration but it's not a problem if you have a system thats not 19 years old

[summer folio]

The one Piece is real.

[full fossil]

@fluid ridge I noticed some effects adds watermarks but it only seems to be a selected few.

[fluid ridge]

blackmagicdesign is a hardware company that happens to make excellent software, similar to apple

[wind pulsar]

Most of what I use is relatively modern, yeah
I don't even use the clothing in ffxiv anymore

[fluid ridge]

yeah some of the effects are off limits but a lot of them are free out of the box

it also has fairlight (audio editor) and fusion (VFX) built into the app

[gilded quest]

where is this purple chat

[full fossil]

Most of the effects I’ve noticed also aren’t the nicest anyway lol

[fluid ridge]

and half the size of premiere + performs better

[fluid ridge]

you can make your own effects in the fusion tab but it's a bit advanced

i will admit fusion is probably a little lacking compared to something like After Effects though

[full fossil]

I noticed that. It seems more straight forward then Vegas tho

[fluid ridge]

vegas looks disgusting imo

[past egret]

nuke > after effects

[fluid ridge]

nuke is alright, still a little on the nicher unused side

[past egret]

nuke is literally hollywood standard

[full fossil]

Yeah this software seems fine tho I’m defo gonna use it over Vegas cause after a hour of editing on Vegas it seems to crash like 5 times so you gotta spam save project lmfao

[past egret]

alongside houndini and cinema 3d

[fluid ridge]

for most professional workflows (movies and TV shows), editors will cut in Media Composer (by avid), color grade in DVR, and do VFX in AE

Worst thing in the world, is waking up to Linus building a computer on a YouTube live stream. LTT should atleast remove their evidence after themselves.

i feel bad for you bro, i got resolve before i got vegas, bought vegas to try it out and wanted to uninstall my eyes

[summer folio]

From like 5 years ago, also usually

[fluid ridge]

magix makes some good software, vegas is not one of them

i bought SoundForge 16 which is better than audacity IMO for audio post

[full fossil]

@fluid ridge yeah as the time frame got longer the crashes became every 10 mins

[summer folio]

Resolve is sooo bad.
Can't do crap with it.
Adobes Video Software on the other hand. Perfection! 👌🏻

[full fossil]

Also I’m realising why you’re saying that too XD

[past egret]

i prefer premiere

[summer folio]

Yes, Adobe > all

[fluid ridge]

premiere is FAR more unoptimized compared to resolve, resolve is literally half the size of premiere

[past egret]

not saying premiere is the best, but it works for me

[fluid ridge]

i swear the folks at adobe have never completely rewritten any of their apps and just use codebases that are decades old

[full fossil]

@fluid ridge just noticed something also that top gun maverick was made with davinci lol.

[summer folio]

Works like a charm!

[fluid ridge]

i can almost guarantee most, if not all of the big hollywood films were color graded in DVR

[fluid ridge]

bro they stack that shit like jenga bricks every update and hope something doesnt break

[past egret]

its adobe

[full fossil]

@fluid ridge idk why there was rumours of this software having malware tho cause it seems okay. Doesn’t seem to be slow

You have to disable updates or it stops working*

[fluid ridge]

yeah no those rumors are wrong

[full fossil]

@fluid ridge definitely lol. The software seems more stabler then Vegas.. by now I would of crashed XD

@fluid ridge ily you saved me from a catastrophe of trying to fix Vegas 17 from crashing LMAO

[fluid ridge]

you are welcome

resolve sells licenses perpetually so no subscriptions here 😎

[full fossil]

Tbh I don’t see a reason to buy it rn cause the stuff already has more features then most paid software anyway..

[lyric flower]

hey guys i just had a question i recently wanted to buy a 3070 ti, and i was initially after the founders edition as i assumed it was the best one out there, however after watching some youtube videos and some online searches im left super confused, some say the Asus GeForce RTX 3070 Ti TUF OC V2 is the best one some say the MSI one and some say gigabyte... can anyone help me with a video maybe or just a straight answer on what 3070 ti to buy ?

[manic torrent]

you're overthinking it. It really doesn't matter much

[lyric flower]

i assumed at the start the same thing but then i saw different prices for the same 3070ti and some on sale for alot higher price however on sale now, so i thought maybe theres a difference and then going down the youtube rabbit hole.... left me even more confused lol

[manic torrent]

The variance is not zero, but it's also affected by silicon lottery. I also wouldn't buy a 3070ti now, it's overkill for 1440 and not enough for 4k. Much better off with a 6800XT

[knotty zealot]

Hey to change the color of my rgb ram, would that be the motherboard software?

[gilded quest]

Sure

[lyric flower]

the thing with amd is, i currently have a amd graphic card and i dread it every single day, constant drivers issues, getting blue screen issues and i think nvdia has some better technical aspect to it no ?

[manic torrent]

what? I have a 6600XT and have no such issues

[lyric flower]

i have a rx 5700 xt red devil

[manic torrent]

using latest drivers?

[lyric flower]

yeah

[manic torrent]

what OS, is everything up to date?

[nimble junco]

I hate being in highschool I cant afford my spotify

[nimble junco]

Windows has an issue where it uninstalls amd drivers

[lyric flower]

yeah thats usually the problem i get windows always uninstall my drivers and i have a few other friends who have amd and it happens to them too but not to my friends who have nvdia

[lyric flower]

im pretty sure it is

[hollow pulsar]

Odd. I’ve been running AMD Radeon VII for a while now with 0 driver issues like that.

[tardy terrace]

Good evenin'

[gilded quest]

Hold up

An actual Radeon VII user?

[tardy terrace]

Shocking, I know

[distant bloom]

I'm not sure if the 3070ti is overkill for 1440p despite what some articles may claim.

[fluid ridge]

depends what you are doing

[vapid smelt]

weak only 8gb of vram

[distant bloom]

I edited out the important part. You are right. 1440p on modern AAA games

[fluid ridge]

you should be fine

[icy oak]

Why couldn't it be Nixxes? Why did it HAVE to be Iron Galaxy?!

[manic torrent]

oh look if you're trying to run 240hz or whatever, sure. But I mean for most people most of the time.

and it's good for 3440x1440. but I had a 3070 and it was not QUITE enough for 4k

[distant bloom]

My standard of fine is not your standard of fine. Wild FPS swings esp when Vram is swapping out assets which it seems to have to do constantly

[distant bloom]

yeah. I think this may be the issue

[manic torrent]

the fact that it has 8gb ram is pure garbage

it should always have come with more, but product segmentation.

[icy oak]

While the 3060 (a lesser card in terms of horsepower) has 12GB

[distant bloom]

Slower bus so who knows if it actually means anyhting lol x)

[manic torrent]

yeah the ram is a LOT cheaper 🙂

[icy oak]

I won't have issues with VRAM pretty soon 😉

[distant bloom]

I'm done with 8gb vram cards for this point forward

[tardy terrace]

11 is pretty awesome tbh

[manic torrent]

yeah I upgraded to a 3080ti, which is perfect for 4k.

[icy oak]

I'm gonna be playing with the big guns now. 24GB VRAM.

[tardy terrace]

2080ti's fantastic for 1440p

[manic torrent]

yep. basically a hotter 3070 with more ram 🙂

[distant bloom]

I'm going to have a hard time recommending them either based on my experience testing alot of machines out over the years. It's fine for 1080p but 1440p, it's terrible in terms of dips.

Some of this could be on the developers themselves too. I have heard vram management and asset swapping can be efficient or inefficient. The inefficiency is what can create the framedrops

[tardy terrace]

It actually stays below 70 almost always because I have the fans perma-pinned at 85%

[distant bloom]

MY 3090 will be here tomorrow

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XPjNnQ/asrock-radeon-rx-6800-xt-16-gb-phantom-gaming-d-oc-video-card-rx6800xt-pgd-16go

[manic torrent]

yeah but vs the 3070 it's going to use more power per frame

[distant bloom]

I just can't with AMD graphics lol

[manic torrent]

I think it may be because of the imbalance of power vs ram. Things are written expecting a certain balance

[icy oak]

I've got the dough, I can get a 4090

[lilac sage]

its underkill

[distant bloom]

I'll buy a 4090 in 2 years when I can get it for 600-700$

[icy oak]

Idc if it's "not great price to performance". It's overkill and I want it. Plus for what I play, it'll come in real handy.

[knotty zealot]

Can anyone recommend a way to change the rgb on my 4070 ti?

[tardy terrace]

I kinda need to stick with Nvidia because DCS just runs better on it

[fluid ridge]

your GPU board partner probably has some bloatware app to do that

[knotty zealot]

Thanks !

[distant bloom]

The QOL experience just isn't as good as nvidia. VR on the new XTX or whatever it's called is tragicly horrible. Driver issues and crashes seems to occur substantially more than nvidia. Nvenc encoding is nice too

[fluid ridge]

👍 just google your GPU's brand + rgb software

[lilac sage]

so get the 6000 series

[knotty zealot]

[vapid smelt]

ive been over 3 years without a my amd rx 5700xt crashing

[distant bloom]

I didn't do AMD cpus since bulldozer. My 5950x experience has been less than desirable where I'm having to set core affinity features and mess with the bios so it doesn't load up all the threads on the best core.

When that occurs, my games can take an FPS dip if a background process jumps onto another thread on a different CCX.

Many 5950x users have run into this and it's down right annoying.

[distant bloom]

That's good, but my tech works for me most of the time. I don't work for it. If I have to work for it, I'd rather just buy something else

ofc, Amd has their place and stuff. I'm not against AMD. I'm just not going to use it and I won't put it in other people's machines because any issues that occur, they'll expect me to deal with it lol

The only time I don't regret my 5950x is with multithreaded work. Then I cheer my 100% cpu usage

[tardy terrace]

the days I can pin my 10850k with a legit workload makes me a little giddy

The power

[distant bloom]

I think I bought like 8 of those during covid. When 5000 series dropped, 10850k were so damn cheap

[tardy terrace]

It's a really solid chip!

[distant bloom]

It's the new 6700k imo

(okay probably not but sort of)

[icy oak]

Part of the reason I'm getting it 😂

[distant bloom]

I think almost everyone I upgraded to a 10850k had a 6700k

[tardy terrace]

It was a steal of an upgrade price from a relative, I honestly couldn't afford to turn it down
Coming from a 4790k is already insane

[icy oak]

Not to mention I'd LOVE to game in 4K on some of the TV's in my house

[distant bloom]

I got mine for 700$ pre tax and I can sell the two gpus in my personal computer to cover most of that cost

[icy oak]

Idgaf about recouping my costs. I just want a sick rig

[distant bloom]

It did take me about 3 hours to come up with a strategy how to support 5-8 output device on a single gpu

[tardy terrace]

MST hubs & hope you don't hit the host port's bandwidth \o/

[icy oak]

It's gonna be in the Hyte Y60 cause the Y40 wasn't out at the time I purchased the Y60.

Cause I purchased my Y60 at ✨Christmas✨ after I got a $250 gift card for Amazon from mom and dad

[distant bloom]

MST hubs and HDMI over usb adapter.

I don't want my index and main monitor on an MST hub. I feel weary about that

[tardy terrace]

With HDMI over USB is there a lot of CPU overhead? I'm a bit scarred from the evga usb gpu pucks

[gilded quest]

Congrats on being new

[distant bloom]

Probably since it's not going through graphics. And then you deal with a novel issue dealing with USB bandwidth limitations. On the x570, the 10Gbps ports go straight to cpu on a lane. Up to 5GB/s of bandwidth. And 5Gbps have up to 8GB/s on bandwidth but it shares it with the rest of the chipset

[icy oak]

The Suprim Liquid or the FE might be my only options for 4090. Cause everything else is so fucking thicc

[tardy terrace]

I think I'd rather just stick with MST

[distant bloom]

I will use an mst. But I want to try out the technology. I spent 2-3 hours figuring out how to do it and learned about USB limitation. Chipsets for a long time have provided more IO then it has bandwidth to the CPU, because most of the time you do not max out every connection at the same time.

I've done all the math, so now I just want to test it out. But I want my index and 1440p @ 180hz on their on dedicated port.

Also note, hdmi/display port is uncompressed bandwidth. There will be some compression going on through hmdi over usb

[tardy terrace]

Yeah, there was a lot of banding & blocking with my graphics pucks

I wonder if I could use the USB port on my GPU for usb over hdmi & not have as much cpu overhead

[distant bloom]

And on my 3-5+ screen, they're just running 1080p and I mostly used them for documents and other stuff I don't want on my high hertz monitors. So it doesn't have to be perfect

[tardy terrace]

I'm waddlin' along with 4, 3 1080p's & 1 1440p

[distant bloom]

usb-c port on your gpu presumably has dp alt mode

My 3090 didn't have a usb-c port. I wish I thought of it, but I wouldn't have spent 100-200$ more for the feature. (idk if that is a common I/O or not for 3090s)

[tardy terrace]

Then in that case I'll probably order a usb-c to hdmi adapter here come payday

[dawn anchor]

P300A vs P400A?

[tardy terrace]

I think it was the 20 series' push for that VR connector standard

[distant bloom]

which is weird considering I think most of them use normal displayports

[tardy terrace]

I think there was industry talk of working out more VR headsets with just a usb-c cable

[distant bloom]

Yeah I guess. IT does support alt DP mode but idk why you'd want a connector more prone to breaking

[tardy terrace]

Simplicity of one connection?

[distant bloom]

Maybe. But you'd have a displayport on any vr capable machine other than laptops IG

[tardy terrace]

TBF C's pretty rugged

[distant bloom]

C is terrible and I've replaced too many usb ports. I hate them. I wish usb would buy Apple's presumed patent on pad charging

[stray apex]

I haven't managed to break a usb-c port yet

No idea how you would even manage it

[distant bloom]

It's mostly phones and other high repeated insertion devices which I've ended up replacing

[tardy terrace]

I find a cable with a quality connector helps best

[stray apex]

How would you break it on a phone
Like I guess if you lever something inside the port

But that's clearly extreme user error

[tardy terrace]

Now, micro-b..

[gilded quest]

Are you breaking them or do you work in a repair shop

[distant bloom]

That is one. trying to clean it by sticking something in there. The second is how a person uses their phone when it's charged

[distant bloom]

Yes and sort of. It's just side work I do

[gilded quest]

Type C is great. 240W, 120Gbps, and reversible

[distant bloom]

Like some people balance their phones on their stomach while lying on bed. That added pressure will damage pins over time or it pushes into the desk

[tardy terrace]

Tech repair is the best sidework because you can just stop doing it for a while when you get too annoyed at your insufferable clients

[fluid ridge]

most modern phones have enough battery life (assuming it's being charged reasonably) and charge fast enough (assuming you have a non 0.5w adapter) that there should not be a need to use your phone while it's charging

[stray apex]

Do people not charge their phones while they sleep

[fluid ridge]

doing so generates a lot of heat on the battery which will decrease your battery's lifespan anyways and cause it to explode probably

[fluid ridge]

i used to be paranoid that my phone would explode

[stray apex]

Why
Get that settlement money

[fluid ridge]

i had a samsung back then but now we fine 😎 💪

[gilded quest]

Some people spend 12 hours on TikTok a day

[tardy terrace]

Actually gross

[gilded quest]

I'm not exaggerating either

[fluid ridge]

cant get a settlement money when you die as a result of the IED bad phone you have

[distant bloom]

It depends on how you use your phone and if it's been 1-3+ years after ownership where lith ion batteries have degraded

[stray apex]

Eh, phone fires aren't that big, you'll probably have time to escape

[fluid ridge]

true

[gilded quest]

Lithium batteries also do not explode like in GTA V.

[fluid ridge]

realistically most phone owners replace their devices once every 5 years at most so i guess it doesnt matter

[stray apex]

Yeah but can you imagine if every Tesla was a vbied

[tardy terrace]

Why would I want terrorism

[stray apex]

Driving would be so much more exciting

[distant bloom]

I think it's 2-3 average upgrade cycle

[gilded quest]

I assume every Tesla driver is out to kill me

[tardy terrace]

Driving is already fucking terrifying.

[fluid ridge]

teslas are dope

[distant bloom]

Atleast I think in the US. Might not apply world wide

[fluid ridge]

people who hate on teslas are nerd car guys that are mad a 40k electric family sedan gaps their 200k sports car

bro a 660 is like ancient technology

[stray apex]

Teslas are neat
Would be cool if they didn't do a public open beta for their cars though

[fluid ridge]

im pretty sure integrated graphics on a 9th gen + intel CPU would run faster

[distant bloom]

Everyone I know who bought a telsa has since resold it.

[tardy terrace]

Many a tesla owner are pretentious

[fluid ridge]

they just haters man, cant handle the 1.98 second 0-60mph

[vapid smelt]

[gilded quest]

Touchscreen controls in cars are dumb

[distant bloom]

Some of the telsa owners I've seen online are pretentious, imo

[tardy terrace]

I'm glad the tech is so smart because it's saved me from being hit on my bike twice

[fluid ridge]

true but it looks cool

[distant bloom]

oh they could. I went on group vacay once and the owner full out put sun glasses and slept. I said hell no and made him let me drive. Although the auto assist driving was cool

[gilded quest]

Okay but actually trying to use it sucks

[fluid ridge]

also i unironically would trust autopilot more than a lot of actual drivers out there

[gilded quest]

When I'm driving I'm usually looking at the road, not oogling at my dash

[tardy terrace]

Like, stop relying on your car to drive for you and pay attention to the road you absolute blobfish of a person. >:(

[gilded quest]

I trust autopilot to kill me

[distant bloom]

"absolute blobfish of a person' I'm legit going to use this one day

[tardy terrace]

I gotta get creative with insults here

[distant bloom]

creative insults are the best

[fluid ridge]

teslas are statistically safer (in terms of crashes/number of miles) on autopilot than with autopilot off

[gilded quest]

I've been in true self driving vehicles (Waymo) and it was incredible

[marsh jungle]

the waymo jaguars?

[gilded quest]

The Jaguar are engineering vehicles

[fluid ridge]

yeah but teslas dont have that EMP bomb at the top of the roof

[tardy terrace]

[tardy terrace]

Ah, gotcha

wait what how is lidar at all like an emp

[gilded quest]

Tesla needs to be sued into oblivion for marketing their driver assist as self driving

[stray apex]

Fun fact, Teslas would run down motorcycles because it didn't realize that the lower, closer together lights were actually a motorcycle right in front of it and not a car far away

So they would just yolo straight into the back of motorcycles

[gilded quest]

It's not, they're being a ding dong

[marsh jungle]

Before I buy a tesla to kill others, they really need to step up build quality

[tardy terrace]

The day I buy a car is the day pigs fly tbh

[fluid ridge]

well to be fair motorcycles are already incredibly dangerous

[gilded quest]

It's as if Teslas are built as cheaply as possible

[vapid smelt]

full self driving in 2017 just remember that guys

[stray apex]

Tesla just helpfully reminding them that mortality is fragile by ramming them with a car

[distant bloom]

idk how much I believe that. You can crunch X crashes over X miles with autopilot on and off. Telsa tried to say it was statistically safer due to that. But I'm not so sure

[fluid ridge]

pfft, what's adding 1 or 2 multiples to the fact that you're 100x more likely to die on a bike than on a car amirite

[distant bloom]

One day it will probably be safer when every car is fitted with right tech and cars can communicate. Then I'd imagine it would be

[tardy terrace]

mesh network anti-collision

[stray apex]

Tfw some Tesla Stan is unironically defending teslas commiting vehicular manslaughter

[fluid ridge]

i mean mathematically it checks out - correlation is not causation of course but one can draw a reasonable inference from that

[fluid ridge]

its not vehicular manslaughter if you aren't driving the car

[gilded quest]

Why not build public transportation and intracity trains at that point

[stray apex]

Tell that to the courts lmao

[vapid smelt]

full self driving will never be real

[tardy terrace]

@distant bloom Your witness

fuck wrong reply

[tepid bolt]

Sleeping tesla drivers disagree

[vapid smelt]

they are cheating though

[tardy terrace]

highway lane keeping & collision avoidance is not full autonomy driving

[distant bloom]

Yeah, you can say X/Y : X/Y is mathemtically valid. I just don't think that translate into 'safer' necessarily. Maybe if it could account for at fault or this and that. Or if the autopilot could be demonstrated to stop a wreck caused by others. etc. But what it is good for is stockholders and boosting up numbers

[distant bloom]

no idea. I don't want public transportation for myself. Tried it when I lived in a big city and hated it

[distant bloom]

lmaooo

[gilded quest]

Public transit is great
Unfortunately it's kind of late for most of America to really fix our city designs to prioritize public services over cars

[fluid ridge]

over many samples, the proportions for something like that should be normally distributed and you can draw a pretty reasonable inference and outliers would be mitigated which is what i assume tesla did, so there is nuance yes - but it probably doesn't play as big of a deal in determining whether you are more likely to crash on autopilot

[distant bloom]

I remember it just being nasty because people can be nasty. And it being pretty slow too having to constantly stop

[fluid ridge]

also i just googled the legal definition of vehicular manslaughter 🤓

"vehicular manslaughter

n. the crime of causing the death of a human being due to illegal driving of an automobile, including gross negligence, drunk driving, reckless driving or speeding. Vehicular manslaughter can be charged as a misdemeanor (minor crime with a maximum punishment of a year in county jail or only a fine) or a felony (punishable by a term in state prison) depending on the circumstances. Gross negligence or driving a few miles over the speed limit might be charged as a misdemeanor, but drunk driving resulting in a fatality is most likely treated as a felony. Death of a passenger, including a loved one or friend, can be vehicular manslaughter if due to illegal driving."

all of these stipulate you are driving the car

[distant bloom]

please don't google legal definitions. That's like web-md for your symptoms

[stray apex]

Yes
Being behind the wheel of s Tesla as it runs down a motorcycle is in fact at best gross negligence

[gilded quest]

It's fine most of the time. As for slowness, it really depends on the city.

[fluid ridge]

then sit in the passenger seat and turn autopilot on

[stray apex]

The government does not actually accept "but it was on autopilot" as a defense

God Tesla stans are fucking stupid

[distant bloom]

They'll make dozens of stop where I won't have to despite being in the same traffic. Only potential issue is parking lol

[fluid ridge]

if the requirement for vehicular manslaughter entails that you are in control of the vehicle, when you turn Tesla's autopilot the vehicle autonomously drives itself as proven by hundreds of videos online and cases where people fall asleep behind the wheel, thus taking agency of the car away from yourself and gives it to the various on board systems in the car

TLDR, you are no longer driving the car, thus you cannot possibly be charged with a crime that inherently involves you driving the car

[stray apex]

Lmao
Okay
Go do that

[gilded quest]

I used to be such an Elon bro in high school. It was super cringe. Glad I'm reformed now

[elfin jetty]

how to commit gta irl

[stray apex]

This is some sovereign citizen shit

[fluid ridge]

no, it is reasonable to assume if you are not operating a vehicle, you do not get charged with any crimes associated with operating a vehicle

just like how you dont go to jail if your bus driver decides to drive into a car dealership

[stray apex]

I mean, a lot of people used to think Elon was cool
He's only been really publicly a moron the past few years

[gilded quest]

Yeah it was 10 years ago. But I still cringe at it

[stray apex]

Tesla autopilot
Is not controlling the vehicle
You are

[gilded quest]

So autopilot is a license to kill?

[fluid ridge]

but tesla autopilot is controlling the vehicle in every logical and reasonable sense

you can have no contact and no interaction with the car as it operates, as shown in videos of people literally asleep in their teslas

[stray apex]

By bypassing teslas safety features, yes

[fluid ridge]

that is an issue for tesla's legal team to work out

[distant bloom]

That tldr is def a no

[stray apex]

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tesla-driver-charged-manslaughter-deadly-autopilot-crash-raises-new-le-rcna12987

[tardy terrace]

Oh gosh please give a legal explanation, I'd love to hear it

imo if you're the one who sat in the driver seat, turned the vehicle on, put it on public roads, and engaged autopilot, you are responsible for the behavior of your vehicle and acting accordingly to correct it

[vapid smelt]

but tesla says its full self driving

[tardy terrace]

elon musk can suck some fetid dingleberries, I don't give a tit what that manlet says

[fluid ridge]

that is tragic but I know for a fact if I was that tesla driver I would feel extremely disappointed with being charged

[stray apex]

The case hasn't been heard yet, but Tesla is definitely going to throw this guy under the bus so
He's fucked

[distant bloom]

You do not transfer liability from operator to a machine just because it has semi autonomous function. You can't sue a machine and you have duties as the operator x)

[fluid ridge]

Imagine spending however many tens of thousands of dollars on a car that's advertised to drive itself and shown it's capable of driving itself just for your car to be that one fuckup and getting thrown into jail for the decisions of a computer

[tardy terrace]

For the decisions of a computer that you are ultimately in control of.

[stray apex]

God do you also defend Elon on twitter

Where's that fucking meme

[fluid ridge]

no i dont like elon, he has the biggest ego ive ever seen and farms a giant echo chamber

[gilded quest]

Computers can't be trusted

[tardy terrace]

Computers are only as smart as the people who designed them.

[stray apex]

There's a reason nobody else uses experimental technology on road vehicles or airliners and shit

[gilded quest]

They should try a car that doesn't fall apart

[tardy terrace]

I enjoy my bicycle.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GugsCdLHm-Q

[fluid ridge]

you can apply the "but for" clause to this, but it's extremely weak in the court of law because you can shift the burden back so many times

To the driver:
"but for you turning on AutoPilot and not disengaging it, Mr and Mrs. XYZ would still be here today"

To the dealer who sold the driver that Tesla:
"but for you selling this Tesla to that driver, Mr and Mrs. XYZ would still be here today"

To Tesla:
"but for you advertising your car as self driving, would driver really have turned it on?"

[stray apex]

Tesla definitely makes you agree to a shitload of liability and safety stuff when you enable autopilot

[fluid ridge]

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/but-for_test
"The but-for test is a test commonly used in both tort law and criminal law to determine actual causation. The test asks, "but for the existence of X, would Y have occurred?" In tort law, but-for causation is a prerequisite to liability in combination with proximate cause."

[gilded quest]

Aren't the drivers supposed to have their hands on the wheel to assume control of the computer does decide to run over an old lady? Thus, putting responsibility on the operator?

[fluid ridge]

that's real tough because i know for a fact 17,999,999 out of the 18 million tesla autopilot buyers didnt read that shit

[stray apex]

Sucks to be them, it's neither illegal nor unreasonable for Tesla to require their users to follow common sense safety practices

[fluid ridge]

Hands on the wheel until you give the computer authorization to drive for you

[gilded quest]

"I didn't read the terms and conditions" won't hold up in court

[fluid ridge]

yeah tesla definitely was smart in covering their asses

[stray apex]

"I didn't realize this beta had issues"

Tesla is going to throw this guy under the bus like a motorcyclist in front of a Tesla

[tardy terrace]

Don't companies have some sort of protection if a user doesn't read the eula?

[vapid smelt]

15k to be a test of "full self driving"

[fluid ridge]

Tesla: "our car drives itself!!!"
TOS: it doesn't drive itself
Driver: assumes it drives itself
Tesla: tough luck bro

[gilded quest]

Literally yes

[stray apex]

It's not even the ToS

[tardy terrace]

So it's misleading advertisement

[stray apex]

It's in the product description

You're not getting full-self driving upon purchase
You're getting driving assist features that will improve over time

If your advanced cruise control with lane keep kills someone, you're still liable

[tardy terrace]

KEEP HANDS ON WHEEL

[fluid ridge]

anyways we are straying from the original topic, next time autopilot kills someone charges should be pressed against tesla not the driver unless we make a new bill that says "car-was-on-self-driving-mode-so-the-driver-wasn't-in-control-but-we-need-someone-liable law"

[stray apex]

Tesla needs to be regulated, but dipshit Tesla drivers who irresponsibly use autopilot should be prosecuted

[gilded quest]

It should 100% be against the driver

[tardy terrace]

I blame tesla for accepting crypto for car payments

[gilded quest]

Because the driver is there to make sure the vehicle doesn't go out of control and kill someone

[tardy terrace]

Yet it does anyways because some of the drivers are actual dummies

[fluid ridge]

you can argue this, but then there is an argument to be made to start charging passengers of liable drivers in fatal car accidents because they did not stop the driver, since in both scenarios theoretically the tesla driver and passenger both do not control the actions of the vehicle nor do they interact with the controls at the time of accident

[vapid smelt]

but rich government officials are invested in tesla

[stray apex]

The driver of a Tesla is not a passenger
They are operating the vehicle
It's not complicated

[marsh jungle]

tesla is selling the main idea that their cars basically drive themselves to boast their image, people get the memo that they are fully self-driving vehicles, tesla only puts the fine print that their cars aren't fully driving themselves rather than in the main idea

[tender geyser]

charge the people walking outside that happen to see the accident happen and not try to stop the car with brute force

[stray apex]

Yeah, they can just short tesla first

[fluid ridge]

(unless it's on autopilot, at which point, no matter what tesla says to cover their asses, is being operated by computers and servers on board and elsewhere)

[static fiber]

Is it good if my gpu is 65 c at 100% usage

[mild elm]

I had an experience with a dumb Tesla owner just yesterday

[tender geyser]

Sounds good

[stray apex]

No, if it's on autopilot the driver is still ultimately responsible for what the car does

[static fiber]

Thanks kind of new to the whole pc gaming experince

[fluid ridge]

you cant just say "im not driving your car" as you drive away in your parents car and expect your parents to have to pay for the lightpole you took down

[vapid smelt]

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/california-regulator-claims-tesla-falsely-advertised-autopilot-full-self-driving-2022-08-05/

[fluid ridge]

that goes back to the but for clause and perhaps arguably Tesla for false advertising

[stray apex]

Wut
This a non-sequitur

[tender geyser]

The fact that the Tesla autopilot thing is even available for people to use in public is kinda weird to me

[distant bloom]

Yeah, that's is why sometimes you have to scroll and hit accept and stuff like that lol

[vapid smelt]

and needing to pay $15,000 for it

[stray apex]

It's dangerous and wildly irresponsible

[distant bloom]

If you hit accept, end user is presumed to have read and understood it. And you can't do tricks like having your friend hit the button for you. That doesn't work out well and has been tried lol

[tender geyser]

Like can’t they use the big bucks to make a mock up of situations

[fluid ridge]

it was in reference to tesla's "haha we aren't actually autonomous" EULA as they are very clearly autonomously operating the vehicle

[tardy terrace]

I meant more of if the end user accepts the agreement, but never reads it, does that legally tie the user to the agreement as if they've read it?

[fluid ridge]

yeah it does, it's why the agreements there in the first place, to cover their asses

[stray apex]

Yes, and the driver is still ultimately in control

[tardy terrace]

Legalese is not my strong suite

[distant bloom]

If you sign a document you didn't read, are you going to be held to it? Yes lol

I recently got hit by a person in a tesla using auto pilot when she was on her phone lmao easy court case

[mild elm]

Is that true?

a real self driving car would have no wheel

In hindsight it was a silly question, but I thank you for the answers

[fluid ridge]

If you have cruise control on and your car is about to drive through a class of grade schoolers you are in fact expected to hit the brakes

[mild elm]

Still have wheels in the tracks

[fluid ridge]

I agree, if it is within your control and you can react in time to such an event, autopilot or not you should turn it off

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qNOtgrIjO4 yes

[gilded quest]

AT-ST then

[fluid ridge]

but if you fail to do so for whatever reason, the ethics of who is liable is at hand in this debate

[tardy terrace]

Oh Tom Scott.. He's cute

[stray apex]

No, it isn't
If your Tesla does not appear to be driving safely, then it is your job to stop it
As such, you are expected to maintain situational awareness
If you do not, then you are negligent

[fluid ridge]

i guess we just have to agree to disagree

[vapid smelt]

tesla makes you touch the wheel every so often so they know you are paying attention not every full self driving like if you ask me

[stray apex]

If you aren't at fault, well, your car is covered in cameras, it's not hard to prove

[mild elm]

According to Tesla's website, both technologies "require active driver supervision," with a "fully attentive" driver whose hands are on the wheel, "and do not make the vehicle autonomous."

[distant bloom]

yes. This is required. The operator is responsible for maintain safety of their motor vehicle

[mild elm]

Imo, it’s fully the driver’s fault

[tardy terrace]

100%

[mild elm]

Should be prosecuted for manslaughter

[fluid ridge]

idk, my thought process is "can you really be held liable for driving related offences if the thing that was driving your car at the time of the crash was a computer beaming back information in real time to tesla servers, and not you" 🗿

[vapid smelt]

tesla should sell the current "full self driving" as advance cruise control

[distant bloom]

In most fact patterns, this is likely going to be true. But I could come up with a few hypos to where it may not be true too

[lilac sage]

Advertisement: check out this cool riverbed you can run your jeep through. Real Life: Please dont drive recklessly off-road

[tardy terrace]

I wish advertisements were realistic.

[lilac sage]

yes. if you ask an AI to commit a crime for you. you are the one responsible.

[distant bloom]

esp the food commercials

[tardy terrace]

Or vitamin commercials.
I'm looking at you, force factor.

[vapid smelt]

i heard that using your car off road can void your warranty

[mild elm]

So you could sit at the wheel and put a heavy weight on the pedal and drive into children, you’re not driving.

[lilac sage]

warranty void if removed stickers on the oil dipstick

[mild elm]

(Joke mostly)

[fluid ridge]

yeah but heavy weight on pedal is not advertised as being able to drive your car for you

[tardy terrace]

I hate the over-use of "clinically tested/proven"

[gilded quest]

I don't trust ads in the first place

[tardy terrace]

Like, stop riding on technicalities and state what your product will actually do

[vapid smelt]

i hate how my work refused to give me non latex gloves and is making me go to osha to get a pair of fucking gloves

[distant bloom]

funny enough, those stickers in the US have been invalid since before most of us were probably born. You can still add them, they just have no legal effect

[lilac sage]

if you tell your child to drive your car and they get in an accident. ye its ur fault.

its ur vehicle which you placed in the trust of an entity without a driver's license

any accidents you should be liable for

[fluid ridge]

but a child driving is completely illegal (which is why you will be at fault, not to mention minors meaning you are responsible for them), tesla's "autopilot" is not

[lilac sage]

ok. what about someone with a license you forced to drive at gunpoint

[tardy terrace]

That's uh.. That's a whole different ballgame.

[fluid ridge]

uh thats still illegal

[lilac sage]

if they get i nan accident who is at fault

[gilded quest]

I think this is the plot to a movie

[lilac sage]

yes but the person driving totally is allowed to still drive

[vapid smelt]

real full self driving will never be a thing because then the company will be held liable for any accidents

[fluid ridge]

then you drive to the best of your ability like autopilot does, and try not to get your brains splattered on your dashboard

[stray apex]

Well, it just needs to be profitable enough that the settlement money is covered

[distant bloom]

A driver has a duty to be aware of surrounding and to drive with care. That is not an option to forgo that duty. If they use autopilot and neglect their duties as the driver, they'll be held liable for negligence or gross negligence.

[summer folio]

I prefere to drive hands free,
steer with my knee

[stray apex]

It won't be profitable enough until the technology is actually near-perfect, though

[gilded quest]

Not sure Tesla can actually do FSD without LIDAR

[stray apex]

No real reason they can't
Humans get by with cameras only, and AI is getting pretty decent
They're not there yet, though, and LIDAR will always be superior

[fluid ridge]

I completely agree that sleeping behind the wheel of your Tesla autopilot is negligent, however I do not agree with the assertion that you are responsible for the next move the code running in your car makes by virtue of the fact that you are in the car at the same time it has control of the vehicle

[gilded quest]

Fine, I won't trust anything without lidar

[fluid ridge]

also your legs must have some crazy dexterity man

[vapid smelt]

https://topverdict.com/lists/2019/united-states/top-50-motor-vehicle-accident-settlements 37 million 👀

[fluid ridge]

did they crash into 7 buggati chirons at the same time

[vapid smelt]

nope

[distant bloom]

If there is some freak accident where autopilot suddently cars car to swing 90 degrees and kill someone where no person could respond fast enough to turn it off, then that is a set of facts you have an argument.

Like if you have a perfectly good tire and some small object you can't see explodes the tire, driver looses control and kills someone, they have a good defense against negligence. If there was absolutely NOTHING they could do. They probably won't be held liable

It's too late to talk about law stuff for me x.x

[stray apex]

That's already the case, though, and pretty easy to prove with a car covered in cameras

[fluid ridge]

I said this earlier, if you can react in time and reasonably stop the car you definitely should

[vapid smelt]

i wouldnt trust stinky musk software

[stray apex]

Musk is the guy trying to create a paid social media network

How did he even learn how to breathe

[vapid smelt]

rich parents paid a tutor

[tardy terrace]

"and this is how you mine lithium-"

[amber cairn]

emerald mine money takes you a long way

[vapid smelt]

step one hire a outside company that "hires" kids

[tardy terrace]

Oh emeralds, that's right

[amber cairn]

The father also married Elon's step-sister lmao, colourful family

[tardy terrace]

Oh dear..

[fluid ridge]

i used to really like elon until he bought twitter and started to pretend like he was remotely a centrist when clearly he panders to one side

• the gigantic ego he has, but i still think he's a very smart guy

[vapid smelt]

you liked him before the twitter buy out?

[amber cairn]

Was that it? My big clue was when he was starting to talk technical shit and clearly didn't know what he was talking about like wanting to "rebuild the whole stack" because he's letting people make changes in prod

also the time he reinvented subways

[vapid smelt]

the slower subway!

[fluid ridge]

yeah, with the team trees shit and stuff i used to think he was really cool and seemed like a nice guy, then he went full "im a centrist guys but i only agree with one side!!!!"

[vapid smelt]

oh yeah back then i thought he was a cool guy too in team tress era

[tender geyser]

It’s lib or die

[fluid ridge]

he is very disingenous and i still wait for him to step down to follow his annoying ass poll he did

and not to mention the fact that he shit on a disabled employee in public view just to be proven wrong

[wispy marsh]

Trump?

[fluid ridge]

no elon

[stray apex]

He's clearly kind of stupid
Like before the Twitter buyout and the very public repeated errors, I can kind of understand
But post-twitter
Holy shit
He's so dumb

[wispy marsh]

Oh

[amber cairn]

I just find it funny that he wants to charge $42,000 for API access to twitter lmao

[tender geyser]

Yea he’s pretty dumb for a billionaire genius person

[wispy marsh]

I really want one of these bags but I'm waiting for the downsized LTT backpack with refreshed zippers

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756589299310526494/1090882627814301796/image0.jpg

[amber cairn]

He's not a genius, clearly.

[vapid smelt]

elon should go back to making big rc cars with huge panel gaps

[distant bloom]

Need to insert that data scraper vs api access meme for that one x)

[stray apex]

He has big ideas and a lot of money
The issue is that he's fucking awful at the details

[fluid ridge]

elon should go back to shutting the fuck up and spearheading cool companies

[amber cairn]

[stray apex]

Elon would almost certainly be vastly more successful if he just didn't involve himself in the day-to-day operations of his businesses

[amber cairn]

He's the worst guy at a start-up the "ideas guy" a.k.a can't execute so he needs talent to actually be effective

[stray apex]

I mean, it's fine to be an ideas guy if your ideas are mostly okay and also you have shitloads of money

The problem is when you decide that you also know how to execute the ideas

[amber cairn]

It's fine to a point, the problem is he believed his own hype and started doing boots-on-the-ground shit that's clearly not working too well.

[vapid smelt]

elon is a very respectful and nice guy

[stray apex]

Like
What kind of shit CEO regularly personally fires employees

[amber cairn]

Lmao when slack is deprecated because the PM is on the town square screaming at clouds

[fluid ridge]

one with a giant baby ego

i swear twitter rotted that guys brain

[vapid smelt]

twitter used to be fun

[amber cairn]

He would probably still have been a "cool" tech billionaire in the eyes of the public if this twitter shit wasn't such a public snafu

[fluid ridge]

its like that penguins meme, smile and wave and he would have been fine

[lilac sage]

buying twitter was the worst mistake of his life and he knows it

[tender geyser]

What if this Twitter stuff never happened

[amber cairn]

People should buy twitter blue just to gaslight him into buying facebook next.

[fluid ridge]

twitter would still be a shithole, just without an egomaniac at the top

[lilac sage]

we'd see more space X test launches and tesla news

[vapid smelt]

best thing to come from elon buying twitter

[summer folio]

LTT made a video about Linus first computer & they didn't even comment on the best part:
The epicc Zalman CPU-Cooler?!?
Lame commentors..

[lilac sage]

thought they did. the zalman flower cooler

maybe its a different video

[summer folio]

They did? Must have missed it then. Was waiting for it atleast.

[lilac sage]

this video he did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsU6AATvB64&t=28s&ab_channel=LinusTechTips

[amber cairn]

They roasted him pretty bad for his slime green sleeves and cables so might've been a quick jab

[stray apex]

SpaceX is still cool, but what does Elon even add?

[summer folio]

Oh right, right, I meant yesterdays video 🙂

[amber cairn]

Same he did with tesla, money.

then it took off and now it's his piggy bank

[stray apex]

Yeah, but he seems to have been more involved in tesla

[summer folio]

Maybe it got edited out

[amber cairn]

He was kind of, but he still didn't start it and the two founders were pretty much unceremoniously ousted.

[patent fog]

I'll be honest. I'm surprised Twitter hasn't sunk yet

[summer folio]

You fool, private companies can't zink.

[amber cairn]

true even myspace is still around somehow

[patent fog]

Twitter is a public company...

[amber cairn]

private now bby

[cerulean saffron]

wow... after they permanently lost userdata, didn't think that would be the case

[dull granite]

it sunk from 44B$ to 22B

[vapid smelt]

give money to people in need < buy twitter

[patent fog]

By sunk, I mean filing for bankruptcy. Like NCIX did.

[dull granite]

oh

[stray apex]

Musk is planning on only letting people who pay for Twitter show up on the algorithmic feed
Which will actually kill the platform

[timid meadow]

Tom is still my friend in my heart

[dull granite]

only 0.5% are twitter blue afaik

only reason why the are common is being favored by algorithms

[patent fog]

Yeah I saw. I assumed the whole blue check mark stunt would have killed it by now though

[vapid smelt]

the algorithm is already so fucking shit

[amber cairn]

still with that userbase even 0.5% is a lot of direct revenue. 0.5% of 450 million is still a shitload of people

[dull granite]

for a while my feed was filled with "no good fellas" for some reasons

[slim mirage]

Another twitter L

[dull granite]

wait misspell

[patent fog]

Fun fact, my feed stopped existing before it sold to musk :p

[stray apex]

18 million a month is fuckall for a company the size of twitter
What is that, 200m annual?

[dull granite]

elon will get returns from Twitter in... year 2101

[amber cairn]

They were going negative for a decade so making any profit is good if he's going the private route since he can't count on outside investors to prop it up infinitely. It's a dumb money play long-term but it was probably the only way to dull the hit he got when advertisers fled the platform

[dull granite]

wait

[stray apex]

There's no way 18m a month is profitable for twitter

[dull granite]

oh actually it's

220 years

for returns for twitter acquisition

if it doesn't go up

[patent fog]

I still don't get why Musk suddenly made the sharp turn to pick up Twitter. Like he seemed like a Tech dude with Tesla and everything. And then up and bid for Twitter.

[vapid smelt]

elon didnt buy twitter for the money he bought it so the world would be a better place and so we can have our voices heard!

[stray apex]

Because his ego made him

[amber cairn]

remember he fired 70% of the workforce and another 10% just quit so their overhead has gone down significantly in terms of actual staff

[dull granite]

political reasons

controlling the part of media maybe?
if zucker can, if google can, then musk can also

[distant bloom]

This chat still talking about Elon x)

[amber cairn]

how long it'll run on a skeleton crew of 1300 is anyone's guess though

[patent fog]

Seems like the media is controlling him

[dull granite]

how

[patent fog]

Failing miserably based on what I can see

[dull granite]

nope

elon musk fan bois are happier than ever

[slim mirage]

Obama got me like

[stray apex]

Twitter's operating expenses are billions annually

[dull granite]

also a lot of extreme groups have stopped being restrain by previous moderation rules

[stray apex]

Even if you fire 80% of your staff
Billions does not become 200 million

[patent fog]

That happens whenever the fans get what they want lmao. Ain't a signal of shit.

[vapid smelt]

but how

[wide cosmos]

Elon Musk is overhyped

[stray apex]

Lots of expensive people and datacenters

[slim mirage]

Does anyone actually use Twitter

[dull granite]

yep

[patent fog]

shrugs if you say so.

[amber cairn]

they still got advertisers probably to cover that, but the problem is if the userbase shrinks significantly it'll just plateau within a month of two

[stray apex]

Twitter had a revenue of some 5 billion in 2021

So like
200 million from Twitter blue subscribers is nothing

[dull granite]

TikTok is better than Twitter at this point

[wide cosmos]

the real twt CEO in my heart is actually Jack Dorsey

[slim mirage]

The tiktok CEO got me acting up

[amber cairn]

tiktok is directly competing with youtube so twitter isn't even a consideration there

[dull granite]

at least on tiktok you watch what you want, and not twitter blue elon d-riders

[stray apex]

Nothing competes with YouTube

[wide cosmos]

but even he is bad cause he is sponsoring NFT

[patent fog]

Actually that's pretty much the definition of them controlling him lmao.

[dull granite]

does tiktok access my home wi-fey?

[stray apex]

Bilibili is the only thing that even comes close to competing with YouTube, but it only operates in China

[vapid smelt]

cornnhusk hub

[amber cairn]

for attention and daily users? Yes, now it does.

[slim mirage]

Tiktok is full of politics and drama I'm pretty sure it compares better with Twitter than YouTube

[amber cairn]

why do you think youtube fast-tracked youtube shorts?

[lilac sage]

jack dorsey indirectly made a guy loose millions on an NFT so he's cool

[timid meadow]

Reddits better nowadays but thats just my opinion

[slim mirage]

I know people that have switched to yt shorts for the fact that it auto plays the next video unlike tiktok

[amber cairn]

tiktok gives you the bubble you want, it is highly customised to your taste so you'll rarely run into something you truly dislike as soon as you're a regular user that's their whole idea

[stray apex]

TikTok doesn't even come close to YouTube for audience retention

[slim mirage]

Reddit servers trying to load a video challenge

[stray apex]

TikTok is great for discoverability, but it's absolute ass for audience retention

[vapid smelt]

or ad revenue for the creator

[amber cairn]

Is this a metric they care about? the whole idea is short-form so of course that'll be less important but they can pump in more ad-spots in-between swipes.

[stray apex]

Yes
A platform cannot exist without content creators

[patent fog]

Oh and usually by "political reasons" it means musk bought it to make himself look better. The fact you said that proves my point about it failing miserably to the cent lmao.

[slim mirage]

Instagram is what the rock would say " it's the biggest piece of dogshit"

[stray apex]

If TikTok doesn't support creators to allow TikToker to be a viable career the same way YouTuber is, then people won't aspire to be a TikToker

[dull granite]

maybe he failed for us, but remember that elon's views line up with ~40% of US people

[slim mirage]

It's not even his views that annoy me it's the misinformation he is spreading and all the lies that he tells and promises people

[patent fog]

40% is a pretty huge chunk, got any proof?

[amber cairn]

They do anyway what are you talking about, everyone and their grandmother is on there doing dumb dances or reply-guy content because it's got less friction than content creation on youtube/twitch and the algorithm will usually try and serve your content to people.

[dull granite]

US elections

[stray apex]

Yeah, so was vine

[slim mirage]

My YouTube recommended has been garbage since ltt got hacked has anyone else had this issue?

[amber cairn]

Tiktok has more backing than vine, vine ran out of money that won't happen with bytedance they'll either get banned and retreat or continue full steam ahead.

[dull granite]

banning tiktok is so dumb lmao

[stray apex]

It's looking very likely that bytedance will be forced to sell

[dull granite]

"land of the free", more like "bullshit"

[amber cairn]

Yep and that'll probably be the end of it if that happens.

[patent fog]

US elections don't mean shit. Going by what you mean, it means 40% of the people who actually cared enough to vote. And you also have to account for the fact that a lot of the people are just following what their friends and family are doing rather than what they actually care and understand about.

[dull granite]

[slim mirage]

Wait until you hear about the bite of 87 that will shock you

[vapid smelt]

life dont mean shit

[stray apex]

Why would the US want to allow TikTok to keep running as is?

[patent fog]

Yeah... Lol

If you don't have fun, you ain't livin' is what I say

[dull granite]

"as is" what does it mean

[stray apex]

Currently, TikTok is controlled, essentially, by a belligerent power
And is a major channel for information distribution and data gathering

[dull granite]

literally any big social media service collect data

[stray apex]

Why on earth would the US want to let that continue

[dull granite]

so it's just Red Scare?

[stray apex]

Do you think we would let the Soviet union control the most read newspaper and conduct regular polls of US territory

[patent fog]

Pretty much. It's the cold war all over again is what I'm seeing. Except this time it's between US and China

[dull granite]

literally every major social media app can use thier services for propagandą
ban twitter first, it's actually the one manipulating users

[stray apex]

Internal manipulation by US citizens is not the same as external manipulation by a foreign power

[dull granite]

you can always uninstall the app

[stray apex]

Lmao

[patent fog]

Except Twitter is a US company, and the US government would get fried to hell due to the first amendment

They ain't doin' that

[slim mirage]

If the us congress actually asked questions that made sense and didn't basically be ignorant to the CEO of tiktok I would understand the point of view over bytedance why is it people that don't understand stuff that have to talk about it. If that was my country that I pay taxes to talking like that I would be embarrassed

[stray apex]

The US Congress is as always an embarrassment to America, but there's nothing weird about the idea

[patent fog]

Isn't manipulation, internal/external basically how politics works? Lmao

[dull granite]

also tiktok ban would allow US government to control media

[dull granite]

based on this https://twitter.com/LPMisesCaucus/status/1639934790026555394?t=w3fImxoQNo_hXg8DoqAsuw&s=19

[stray apex]

Yes, but there's levels to this
It's usually seen as a hostile act for a foreign nation to interfere deeply with an election, and things like controlling the algorithm for a popular social media platform is very much that

[slim mirage]

I'd imagine the congress making sense if they were questioning an alien from space that had technology we didn't understand

[dull granite]

Congress' question were dumb af tho

[stray apex]

Well yeah
They're all like 70 or something

[vapid smelt]

alien

[patent fog]

Meh. Fair point.

[dull granite]

they didn't learn nothing new

[stray apex]

Excuse me, at least one member of Congress learned about wifi

[slim mirage]

Ahhh the lizard bio mech man

does tiktok collect any data?

[manic torrent]

Do you have more context? What did you change

[limpid kestrel]

So I want to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. But in order to do that, I must enable TPM 2.0. The only option I have is going from discrete TPM to Firmware TPM. But it gives be a warning saying everything saved on the discrete will be deleted. So Idk what will be deleted

[manic torrent]

You almost certainly don't have a discrete TPM and can safely ignore it.

If you don't use bitlocker you can certainly ignore it

[limpid kestrel]

In Bios it says I'm already on a discrete TPM tho?

[manic torrent]

It says that discrete TPM is selected - that doesn't mean one is installed. If your PC is DIY it is unlikely to have one.

[timid meadow]

Just get a nas and proper backups then yolo it until it works
