Sad someone's alr made a rootkit that bypasses tpm however

[tawdry musk]

10X was something else

[full fossil]

It's because of the reason I gave earlier

And secure boot

[full fossil]

oh ok
it looks good doe

Gladly Microsoft learned their lesson now and realised a semi-rolling release os isn't the best solution

[deft hatch]

reread what i said. i never used modern android os, i can't say. i mentioned prior an os shouldnt change so drastically you don't recognize it at all. that is my opinion

form over function i guess. my friend who uses w11 tells me it's harder to navigate

[tawdry musk]

I remember when UAC was considered a major flaw when Windows XP was released and people in the community were "urging you to disable UAC"

[amber cairn]

harder than what? it's basically the same thing as windows 10 except the default position for the start menu is in the middle and not the left

[full fossil]

It is from what I've seen in a VM

[deft hatch]

dont shoot the messenger

[full fossil]

How are Android systems
worst for becoming better
Just, smh, all I have for you

Win11 is basically just macos but for gaming and non-creative professional use lol

[deft hatch]

if something changes so drastically in a short time, does that not invite at least a little bit of convolution?

[full fossil]

It isn't rolling release though

So why does it matter if it changes alot?

[tawdry musk]

Windows users can get very emotional, and Mac users can be overly simple

[full fossil]

And Linux users are nerds?

[deft hatch]

they're admins

[tawdry musk]

You could shoot the breeze in ##linux in freenode, but ##windows was very hardcore about remaining on topic

[deft hatch]

comp engineers

ethical users

[full fossil]

Wow that link is larger than I expected

[deft hatch]

i am learning html on the side though

[full fossil]

I get called a nerd for using Linux all the time

Sorry

[deft hatch]

whats wrong with being a nerd tho

[full fossil]

People use it as a insult

I believe the issue is the intention of the name calling, to demean someone, than what is actually used

[deft hatch]

it cancels out if you play football (soccer)

[deft hatch]

well, yes it's used in a derogatory manner, but no one should take offense

[tawdry musk]

It used to be an insult moreso before we had so much technology around us

[full fossil]

I don't but I do tkd

[deft hatch]

everyone is technically a nerd now anyways

you're just a bigger nerd

[full fossil]

Lol

[deft hatch]

those generalizations though

[tawdry musk]

Every second person in Australia knows how to code unless you are Indian or Chinese, then you are almost guaranteed to know how to code

[deft hatch]

what is the chance apple let's other companies use their M chips in other non -apple chassis

[tawdry musk]

That's not how it works

[deft hatch]

no shit

[full fossil]

-0.2%

You've broke the scale

[manic torrent]

hahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahaha

can you say "observation bias"

[tawdry musk]

I mean, if you wanted to do this, just attach a Raspbery pi to a GPU

[tawdry musk]

I'm correct though 😆

[manic torrent]

@tawdry musk is the only person who wins the award for more cooked than bionic sea snake

[manic torrent]

yeah, you really aren't. Where the shit do you get your data from, the magical fairy observation platform

[deft hatch]

do you guys think framework will last through this decade?

[wise kettle]

Hopefully

[deft hatch]

me too tbh

[wise kettle]

I mean ifixit made it

[manic torrent]

I'm not sure that humanity will last through the decade, my friend.

[cobalt bloom]

Yo when I installed my GPU into my PC it says please power down and connect the pcie power cables

[manic torrent]

did you .... do that.

[cobalt bloom]

Its a gtx 1650 so I thought it does not need external power

[tawdry musk]

Humanity will last

[wise kettle]

[deft hatch]

i dont think this is a troubleshooting chat

[cobalt bloom]

No one is answering in the other ones so

[manic torrent]

yeah I mean life as we know it.

[cobalt bloom]

But I cant connect my psu to the gpu

[manic torrent]

it's possibly because your question is insane, and you don't state the exact model of the card, nor any other details

[deft hatch]

are the pcie cables pugged in?

[cobalt bloom]

There is none

[deft hatch]

your psu didnt come with any?

is it new?

[cobalt bloom]

It's a Dell inspiron

[tawdry musk]

My life has changed dramatically since the US invasion got a little out of control

[cobalt bloom]

So I think it's to old

[deft hatch]

you can contact dell and get some that are compatible with your psu. or just get a new one if u dont care

[manic torrent]

the US invasion where exactly.

[manic torrent]

dell inspiron covers a jillion pcs over decades.

[deft hatch]

is that an o11

[cobalt bloom]

That means I have to get a new mob to

[manic torrent]

It is, yes.

[cobalt bloom]

Mmm

[deft hatch]

nice loop. i got an o11 too

[deft hatch]

what are your specs

[manic torrent]

I'm considering an NV7 to replace it

[tawdry musk]

Europe

[cobalt bloom]

The CPU is a Intel i5 9400

[manic torrent]

ah yes, well known that the US invaded europe

[deft hatch]

That's all I know

[cobalt bloom]

Yea mb

[deft hatch]

not my words

[manic torrent]

it doesn't have ANY other label?

[cobalt bloom]

What u mean

I did not buy this pc

[manic torrent]

[cobalt bloom]

Maybe piss off u f jead

Isn't their formula little bit more sweet than Coca-Cola?

I mean, you can't get a model number off a computer, so maybe look inwards 🙂

[deft hatch]

lol why insult someone who is trying to help you

[full fossil]

Maybe I piss off the fed

That's what I read this as lol

[manic torrent]

you STILL haven't said the exact model of the video card.

[full fossil]

calm

[cobalt bloom]

It's a geforce gtx 1650

[manic torrent]

no.

[cobalt bloom]

💀💀

[deft hatch]

not what he meant

[manic torrent]

THE. EXACT. MODEL.

[full fossil]

why do you need that

[cobalt bloom]

Yea really

[elfin jetty]

[manic torrent]

because I trust exactly zero things he says because he clearly doesn't know anything, and I want to verify the card and show him a picture and check it looks like that

[deft hatch]

lol

[wise kettle]

Fair

[elfin jetty]

You could just ask for a pic of the card

[cobalt bloom]

Well I have the fing box dumb ass

[tawdry musk]

Just say the name of the pissing GPU

[full fossil]

• that's his pc
• if you dont trust him then why bother
• why do you need to verify his card? if its fake then? im pretty sure he wont bother changing it ._.

[cobalt bloom]

Its a geforce gtx 1650

[deft hatch]

bro

[manic torrent]

and on the box, does it tell you WHAT IT IS

[cobalt bloom]

Gtx 1650 u dzmn f hesd

[cobalt bloom]

Mehhhhh

[elfin jetty]

[pearl raven]

what a peaceful afternoon

[manic torrent]

.... you cannot rely on non technical people to give you accurate information without specific instructions. As demonstrated here.

[shut violet]

Imagine not understanding the question this hard

[cobalt bloom]

Well who has the box I do u dumb f head

[deft hatch]

lmao just say the model

[white fractal]

Is there a manufacturer or just nvidia on the box?

[cobalt bloom]

If I am correct I did go to school and learn to read

[manic torrent]

There's no point troubleshooting until you know what you're actually dealing with. In my experience, people asking for help rarely ask the right question

[pearl raven]

this turned into reddit lol

[shut violet]

Absolutely correct

[tawdry musk]

There's no point troubleshooting

[cobalt bloom]

Nvidia

[manic torrent]

is it written in sharpie?

[cobalt bloom]

No

[full fossil]

what are you troubleshooting doe

[wise kettle]

That means it’s time to grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch

[elfin jetty]

In other news, just ordered the sack hoodie, it looks super comfy

[wise kettle]

Probably

[full fossil]

soon its gonna be twitter just watch

[tawdry musk]

If people want to be trivial, there's no point troubleshooting

[manic torrent]

... read the conversation, understand the context, THEN make comments, you're just as bad.

[cobalt bloom]

Piss off man

[full fossil]

nah im good ty

[cobalt bloom]

He asked a question

[manic torrent]

who needs context, amirite?

you already knew this was gonna be the outcome if he came here instead of waiting for a response on the other channels

[full fossil]

damn that looks nice

I am transforming into potato

I must have my sack

[manic torrent]

why wait, this other dude skipped to full potato

The Total Cost of my planned upgrade for my thinkpad T480 is £338.37. What else could that money be spent on if I didn't want to upgrade the thinkpad

[deft hatch]

you're* sorry

[cobalt bloom]

This server is fuked

[manic torrent]

[deft hatch]

go to another and ask

[cobalt bloom]

Probally

[full fossil]

I could buy 8k potatoes

[deft hatch]

nandos gift card

[manic torrent]

because it's certainly not YOU who is the problem

[elfin jetty]

Im very split on whether my next laptop should be a thinkpad or a framework, i dont currently need one as i already have a laptop but framework looks epic ngl

[full fossil]

That's like 30 meals

[deft hatch]

yeah what's wrong

[manic torrent]

feet pics

[strange elk]

So I put windows to go on a flash drive... Its not looking promising..

[full fossil]

I with framework had a black version with a rubberized finish similar to the thinkpad t480

[manic torrent]

I mean, there are thousands of different types of flash drives - some of them will be fine, others will be horrendous

[full fossil]

Wdym? In the UK most meals at nandos cost £10

[elfin jetty]

Its slow as hell on flash drive, i just connected a usb to sata with a laptop drive and it is so much faster

[manic torrent]

no, most flash drives are slow.

[deft hatch]

no, i meant it as it's not a bad thing u get to eat nandos 30 times

[elfin jetty]

I know, thats why i said it was slow on a flash drive

[strange elk]

PNY 64GB Elite-X Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive - 200MB/s, Color-Black

[manic torrent]

but it isn't, you can get a fast flash drive.

[full fossil]

Is it though?

[deft hatch]

no why would it be

[manic torrent]

who's on first?

[deft hatch]

wdym

[manic torrent]

oh god that's right you're all children.

[deft hatch]

i wish. i owe uncle sam a crap ton

[elfin jetty]

Im not going out of my way to buy another flash drive i already have like 7, plus i have a ton of laptop drives and a few ssds laying around that i can use to greater effect

[manic torrent]

oh absolutely, I'm just saying, it's not inherent.

[desert snow]

Guys I’m trying to put down the dim slots but only the top ones go down

[tawdry musk]

Is it plugged in to your USB3 port?

[full fossil]

Insert the dims and pray

[manic torrent]

then you have done it wrong

[strange elk]

Why are my issues becoming an argument in chat?

[elfin jetty]

Make sure the ram is in proper orientation

[desert snow]

I haven’t installed them

[strange elk]

Ofc

[wise kettle]

I got it and I’m younger

[manic torrent]

first day on the internet

[deft hatch]

why is this a troubleshooting chat now

[strange elk]

I dont even think I have USB 2 ports. Maybe one or two for the KB/m

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's one of the classics really.

[strange elk]

I'm just annoyed at windows to go

[elfin jetty]

You can never have enough USB

[tawdry musk]

They are methods not arguments, Discord creates objects for everything

[wise kettle]

If you run out you can use sd cards

[deft hatch]

was that a baseball joke? first base? or some wordplay shit

[tired glade]

Don't worry,they will change everything in 2 years

[elfin jetty]

I meant ports lol

[wise kettle]

Oh

[elfin jetty]

Who needs USB drives when you can just use hard drives and external docks

[strange elk]

Linux on USB runs better on MUCH worse hardware. I find it a bit hilarious actuallu

[wise kettle]

I mean I use them for live booting and installing Linux distros

[strange elk]

I want windows to go for the sandbox environment. I'm using it specifically for VRChat and nothing else really.

[deft hatch]

@manic torrent was that joke referring to abbott and costello?

[wise kettle]

My 4gb usb supports this

[tawdry musk]

Windows works great as a guest OS

[elfin jetty]

I have linux mint installed on my secondary test rig i just havent messed with it much

[manic torrent]

yes

[strange elk]

Yeah but I can't pass through my GPU to a VM so

[deft hatch]

DAMN...you're old

[white fractal]

Go ahead

[manic torrent]

haha I'm not that old, it was before my time as well

[strange elk]

[deft hatch]

do you know of alfred hitchcock

[full fossil]

Raid 0 on a thinkpad

[strange elk]

Well I had a good idea. But windows squanders as always lmao. I think I'll try a linux install just to see if that works

[elfin jetty]

You can get 1tb drives for around that price

spend like 6 more dollars for a gen 4

[elfin jetty]

Ah i didnt see it was gen 3

[deft hatch]

yeah it supports up to 5000MB/s

[manic torrent]

more, more, more.

[strange elk]

Those aren't the only 3 that exist, and name brands aren't necessarily the best. PNY is good, Silicon Power is decent enough, I got a WD Black pretty cheap recently (2tb for $120)

Not too sure why she would be taking a shower in the midnight hour but anywho

[strange elk]

Well.. Name brands are usually the best, just not best value.

[elfin jetty]

Dayum, not bad at all

[deft hatch]

i spent 170usd on my kc2500 2tb smh

so sad. i kinda wanna get this p3 rn

[elfin jetty]

I mean all ssds fail eventually but the tech is good enough now to where any decent ssd will last a few years minimum

[strange elk]

Thats what I mean

[deft hatch]

if it has dram cache its fine

[strange elk]

Not even evidently

[deft hatch]

id always get a more known brand for quality control though

[elfin jetty]

Even ones without a dram cache often use system ram as a buffer that dram cache would have been

[tawdry musk]

@strange elk Also, you may want to isolate VRChat to a VM anyway, it has some weird vulnerabilities related to code execution on the client and a number of performance hacks that try to override Unity's memory management in weird ways

[deft hatch]

ssd's failing prematurely are not something i wanna deal with

[full fossil]

teach me your ways 🥺

[strange elk]

Hence the sandboxed windows to go

[elfin jetty]

Always backup weekly, or daily depending on the importance of items

[elfin jetty]

Buy sack hoodie from lttstore.com

[full fossil]

decadely 😌

[deft hatch]

all the important shit i have is in the cloud anyways

[strange elk]

Not only the vulnerabilities but their implementation of EAC

[deft hatch]

i just use my ssd for games. i got gigabit internet, idrc if i lose the storage for that

[full fossil]

i shall do that master
thank you for such divine knowledge

[elfin jetty]

Im gonna start taking data backups seriously because i nearly lost alot of old photos i thought i had stored safely

[deft hatch]

why not the cloud

[elfin jetty]

[woven basalt]

Hello all

[strange elk]

I have a hard time deleting my games so I just keep expanding my storage. I just got 2 8tb WD blues and plan on 2 more

[tired glade]

[deft hatch]

i feel u

[full fossil]

Good night

[deft hatch]

which is why i want to get this p3 for 50 bucks

[tawdry musk]

Oh, I have a weird idea for a project for a waste of time

CD-ROM RAID

[elfin jetty]

The cloud is one of my main backups but just incase i also have a few cold drives that i store in in a 3D printed storage shell

[deft hatch]

tbh, if you're paranoid about losing data, just use two different cloud storages and backup there

[white fractal]

Why not a tape drive RAID 0

[deft hatch]

i think i pay a dollar for 100 gigs on onedrive

[elfin jetty]

I know the feeling, my internet is so shit that any game i download, wven if i only play it once, stays on disk so i have it just in case

[tired glade]

Don't talking about that heresy

[tawdry musk]

Why not floppy RAID?

[elfin jetty]

Id rather have some personal stuff stay in my reach

[strange elk]

My internet is great. I just keep getting tired of losing my saves, mods and such.

[deft hatch]

interesting

[tired glade]

Floppy doesn't support raids

[strange elk]

Doesn't it?

[tired glade]

Yes,CD support raids

[strange elk]

Wait what the hell lmao

[elfin jetty]

Its nothing bad, but im not going into detail

[tired glade]

Because it heresy

[tawdry musk]

RAID doesn't care about the medium

[manic torrent]

[deft hatch]

it's fine i dont care

[tired glade]

Ok, how you do it?

[elfin jetty]

With enough willpower anything is possible

[elfin jetty]

raid shadow legends

[strange elk]

[manic torrent]

Especially if you're doing dumb shit

[tired glade]

Because

[manic torrent]

... no.

[tired glade]

I mean, I need redundancy without os

[elfin jetty]

Me who uses my hdd dock as a sort of file server by using a usb switch

[tired glade]

That called - cold storage

[strange elk]

If I HAD a dedicated machine I'd use it. Well I do, but part of me is too lazy but mostly the cases I have don't support these drives

[manic torrent]

... what?

[elfin jetty]

Exactly, its great

And you can just chuck any drive you need to into it

Good shit

The RGB+ ally network

[tawdry musk]

It's on the box

[elfin jetty]

[tawdry musk]

Yeah, but you sometimes ship in

[elfin jetty]

Im gonna have to wait till my potato hoodie arrives then

Are they RGB+ proud potatoes?

[elfin jetty]

I mean im part of the community so i guess yes

🏳️‍🌈

[tired glade]

With extra voltage

[elfin jetty]

Loads of rgb here

[manic torrent]

I should put a trans flag on my car. I'm not trans, but I could fight anyone who doesn't like it.

[tawdry musk]

Oh, I nearly forgot, the RGBVA+ community

[elfin jetty]

Sad part is it would probably get your car targeted by dipshits

[tired glade]

That's why I have all my pc in laptop or servers form

[manic torrent]

Unlikely I don't really go anywhere

[tired glade]

Oh, people still aggressive to that flag

[elfin jetty]

I mean ive seen people going onto private property just to destroy stuff like that

[wise kettle]

Let’s you figure out who they are though

[elfin jetty]

Unless it is done while you are gone and come back to it

[wise kettle]

Cameras

[elfin jetty]

Not everyone has them

[wise kettle]

Fair point

[tawdry musk]

Not everyone wants to identify 🤷‍♂️

[manic torrent]

What?

[tawdry musk]

Not everyone feels comfortable identifying

[manic torrent]

Objection, relevance

[elfin jetty]

In a perfect world we wouldnt have hate

[manic torrent]

In a perfect world, @tawdry musk wouldn't be allowed to broadcast his shit takes on the internet.

[raven yoke]

Test

[elfin jetty]

Its the internet, i dont know what ya expected

[dapper locust]

why do you want to force People to like trans 💀. i dont like it too but i dont bully them or anything its their life

[manic torrent]

Oh, for sure.

[white fractal]

It's all about the capacity, maaaan

[manic torrent]

I mean.... How would I know you didn't like it unless you told me...

[elfin jetty]

Nobody is forcing you to like other people. The point is to leave eachother alone regardless of veiws.

At the end of the day we are all human

[tawdry musk]

Sometimes it's not like that, not everyone can identify freely

[manic torrent]

I feel like "not being a transphobic piece of shit" is a low bar, but here we are.

[dapper locust]

yeah i leave them alone and they leave me alone i dont have any problems with that

[manic torrent]

I too, can write words.

[elfin jetty]

Another thing is respect, treat people how you want people to treat you

It goes a long way to be nice to people

[tired glade]

If you don't speak to anyone, it's not that hard

[tawdry musk]

I don't have a problem with an individual identifying on their own terms

[elfin jetty]

People are idiots by design. A little patience goes a long way as well

[tired glade]

Bless Ai to make company for you in lonelyness

[elfin jetty]

What?

Why would i need AI?

[dapper locust]

yeah true

[tired glade]

They can be your friends

[elfin jetty]

I already have friends...? I dont see the point of adding AI

[tired glade]

Oh, my, you really don't get the point

[elfin jetty]

I havent slept in over 24 hours

Ive still got a few hours before work tbh

[tired glade]

Oh

Not more than 45m than

[elfin jetty]

Ive got enough caffine in me to kill a whale, i should be fine

[austere wedge]

I feel sad that the potato farm is gone

[patent fog]

Given the fact I'm pretty sure they just rented a potato farm to use, it's probably still there.

[night heron]

the potato farm is the friends we made along the way

[patent fog]

Or, if it was a personal one, then I highly doubt they would build one up just for one day and destroy it afterwards. It's probably still there for personal uses in that casem

Think of it... linus is selling the potato sacks that we put ourselves in. We are the potatoes.

I for one welcome this change in management

[arctic bane]

Guys is the 2022 or 2023 sticker Set cooler?

[manic torrent]

yes

[elfin jetty]

I personally really liked the 2021 stickers

[manic torrent]

the personal use potato farm?

[patent fog]

Sure

[arctic bane]

2021 was really cool , i Do have it twice

Can't really see what stickers are in the packs on the ltt store

[elfin jetty]

I wish they still had the clear do not drop one, that was on my side panel for so long but i switched cases and the sticker got torn :(

[arctic bane]

@elfin jetty that's sad 😔

[strange elk]

I forget do sticker packs come with all orders

[elfin jetty]

If you select them in the bonus bin

[arctic bane]

Yeah you have to choose one, either 22 or 23 or shoelaces

[elfin jetty]

I actually really love the shoelace box design

[arctic bane]

I really can't decide on those two options

[elfin jetty]

I should have got one with my order but i didnt even see it

Next time tho, im waiting a bit and i want to get the workshop jacket

[arctic bane]

Oh yeah the jacket is super, but with taxes it's really expensive

Gonna order it in two months maybe

[elfin jetty]

Yea i know in the us shipping and taxes made the potato hoodie go up to 74usd total

[arctic bane]

I live in Germany 19% vat

[elfin jetty]

[strange elk]

I dont even remember seeing a bonus bin

[elfin jetty]

Its a dropdown button now

[arctic bane]

Usually stuff is priced well here, but if you import stuff yourself it's nuts 🤪

[strange elk]

Its not on my invoice :< I completely forgot about the stickers. Wanted some.

Shipping is so expensive too

[arctic bane]

Gonna order 2 WAN lanyards... those do survive really well on my bike

[elfin jetty]

Rip all the lanyards that you figured that out with

[arctic bane]

@elfin jetty nah just two died

[elfin jetty]

How do you kill a lanyard on a bike?

[strange elk]

How long are the WANyards and the short circuit hoodie staying? Not going anytime soon?

[arctic bane]

My current LTT lanyards still shows no wear

Rain, wind and sun 😊

That's how you kill it

[signal geyser]

wan lanyard ... -> wanyard?

[arctic bane]

Yeah

Gonna take the 22 stickers, gonna get the others with my next purchase

The guy who invented auto correct should go to HELLO

[strange elk]

He did. Rest in piss

[elfin jetty]

https://hothardware.com/news/bug-in-mobo-utilities-instant-kill-x3d-cpu

Damn, thats actually kinda bad

[strange elk]

F

Oh I thought the bot moderated that

[twilit urchin]

man, I missed the whole potato april 1st joke

[patent fog]

Moderated what?

[patent fog]

Hello?

[strange elk]

You fool

[patent fog]

?

[unkempt widget]

hey guys

what is your volume on your pc set on

personally, it's on 45

[rare zenith]

Depends

Usually around 20

[wary summit]

30

wait 40.. for youtube

[full fossil]

Cost £120 with import costs and taxes

[ripe patrol]

100, but headphones and speakers are turned down 😉

[elfin jetty]

[gilded plinth]

100%, -35dB on my amp/dac

[fresh ermine]

What's the best value GPU for 3440x1440 gaming?

I prefer high settings in games, (ray tracing for some games such as Minecraft RTX and FNAF SB)

[night heron]

6950xt

doesnt have rtx support tho of course

[fresh ermine]

No ray tracing for 6950xt?

[night heron]

it supports raytracing but not RTX because that's nvidia exclusive

[fresh ermine]

Bruh

[night heron]

bruh

[tired glade]

He said rtx,not rt

[night heron]

a used 3080Ti would be the equivalent for nvidia

but those cost the same used as what a 6950xt does new

[tired glade]

And if RT even games you daily play

[brave lodge]

morandi switches

[wintry shuttle]

EVERONE ADD ME AS A FRIEND PLS

[gilded plinth]

No

[tired glade]

No

[ripe patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRfKdNxIOcQ

[brave lodge]

ill kill you

[vernal quarry]

oh no

[dull granite]

36

• 75% from Steelseries Sonar

[deft hatch]

u guys think the 7900xt is a good value

wow the 6950xt is 700 bucks

[limber crest]

I don't know for sure if this is the proper place to ask, but how do I get access to the Floatplane chat?

[deft hatch]

modmail

[ripe patrol]

guessing you sign up at floatplane.com and somehow it's available once you do?

[limber crest]

I joined the Discord from Floatplane and I don't have it...

[vernal quarry]

did you link it?

[limber crest]

I didn't, but I just did and they showed up. Thanks bro

[vernal quarry]

much love and anytime!!!

[thorny axle]

Those are not equivalent

[night heron]

it's the equivalent in price

and when youre playing at 1440p ultrawide or 4k they perform pretty similarly

[thorny axle]

Not in RT, which is what he asked about

[night heron]

good thing i clarified that it doesnt support rtx in the message right below it

[thorny axle]

Doesn’t really matter, you basically just gave a disclaimer that it doesn’t have what he wants, lol

[night heron]

if only you took the energy that you put into telling people they’re wrong and instead used it to help people

[thorny axle]

in this techpowerup review of the 6950XT, the 3070ti usually performs more similarly

At least in RT

[finite moat]

How can I get LMG Staff? Just a question

[past egret]

as in contact of them or like the role

pretty sure their contact info is in the official website

[pliant karma]

That or twitter lol

or catch them while they're chatting here/in other chats which is a rare occurance

[past egret]

bold of you to assume someone using twitter

[pliant karma]

I still have one hope on using twitter lol. Considering linus will reply and some others

[tepid dagger]

which browser do you guys use?

[broken crown]

100%, then ~50 on my GoXLR

[past egret]

opera gx because i hate my life, my privacy and my data, did i mention i hate my life?

[lucid echo]

Firefox, the only major nonprofit browser

[broken crown]

Yes.

[past egret]

good answer.

[broken crown]

I use a lot, lmao

[tepid dagger]

lol

[tepid dagger]

uh i tried it once but nothing special to me

[pliant karma]

also yes👀

[tepid dagger]

i see there's a lot of people on reddit reccomending that

i think all the 2% of people who uses firefox are on reddit lol

[broken crown]

Depends on the use case, but generally... Firefox for daily driving, Vivaldi for personal stuff, Chrome/Edge for work, Palemoon for a project org (so I can just SOCKS5 everything of it through the org proxy).

Now, as for my open tab count, goot lort

[lucid echo]

With every other browser, the developer is, in one way or another, required to make money off of you

[pliant karma]

but in all seriousness I multi task with browsers. Chrome cause google has enough of my data I can care less, firefox, and fucking edge cause bing gpt

[tepid dagger]

is brave good?

[thorny axle]

Chrome

[broken crown]

I paid for all 32GB of RAM, I'm gonna use all 32GB.

[tepid dagger]

i don't like bing gpt

[thorny axle]

lol

[tepid dagger]

i think chatgpt is good enough

[slender pilot]

Seems like Zotac's YT got hacked

[pliant karma]

same it's meh. Chat GPT is still my go to and I've been testing Google Barb or bard

[thorny axle]

Google >

[broken crown]

I'd show a screenshot but my RAM is sitting at 60% utilized right now. No games running.

[tepid dagger]

in italy they banned chatgpt 💀

[broken crown]

I also didn't mention my local VMs in VirtualBox (not including the ones on the NAS).

[thorny axle]

I allocate 24 to Minecraft

[broken crown]

I punish my desktop a lot, lmao

[thorny axle]

Just to annoy people

[tepid dagger]

so using protonvpn to access it

[thorny axle]

awesome

[tepid dagger]

I've been using chrome for like 10years

and I don't really have a reason to switch

[slender pilot]

38GB of 128GB in use here

[pliant karma]

lol I think I got 20 or 25 dedicated to minecraft out of 64 but I might be dumping 32 for it later just cause

[thorny axle]

If only MacBooks shipped with 128

[tepid dagger]

me with 8gb ram laptop

[thorny axle]

lol

[slender pilot]

13900K, 128GB RAM, 3090 for now

[thorny axle]

FPS = RAM*32

[tepid dagger]

btw 8gb is enough for me i usually have 4 apps open: chrome, spotify, discord and notion

[thorny axle]

2GB: 64FPS
8GB: 256FPS
32GB: 1024FPS

[lucid echo]

https://www.lifewire.com/brave-browser-falls-short-of-its-promises-of-privacy-5206799

[thorny axle]

ok

[slender pilot]

Got 8GB in my laptops, enough for Firefox, discord, tidal and some Rimworld on the go

[thorny axle]

LOL

[lucid echo]

Brave is fine, but it's nothing special. A couple small extensions can make any chromium browser or Firefox just as private

[red marten]

^

[thorny axle]

8 is still fine for a machine, though if you’re buying a new machine, I’m not sure I would recommend any less than 16

[tepid dagger]

yeah i use ubo. It's fantastic

[lucid echo]

Tidal gang

[thorny axle]

Nah, time to buy a 13GB machine

[slender pilot]

For what I use my laptop for 8GB is doable, I do all my content creation, gaming etc on my 13900K rig

[thorny axle]

I have wondered about using virtual solvers for stuff

Then I wouldn’t need a good laptop, just a good PC connected to it

[slender pilot]

Tidal is better than Spotify imho, cheaper, better quality, got music videos etc

[stoic beacon]

Wait, I missed the beginning of this...are you arguing that Brave is better for privacy than Firefox+DuckDuckGo?

[thorny axle]

Take it easy, fanboy. Use whatever browser you want, nobody worth talking to in the world will judge you for it

[slender pilot]

Also got a few servers in the closet, main one is a 10400F with 64GB RAM running Proxmox with a few VM's like TrueNAS Core for my NAS, Debian for my webserver etc

[thorny axle]

We all like our own browsers, that’s why we use them

[pliant karma]

oh nice I got 2 1u servers when they decomissioned them at my mom's work

[thorny axle]

I wonder what the cheapest CPU to parallel is

[stoic beacon]

I mean, we'll definitely judge, but that doesn't mean we can make you choose something better

[thorny axle]

Fair enough, I just don’t want to talk about browsers and privacy, it’s a discussion without end

[lucid echo]

I'm just pointing out that its "foundation of privacy" can be replicated on another browser in about 10 minutes
If you just wanna download the browser and do zero work, it's a fine choice.
Personally I stick with Firefox because its developer isn't trying to make money off of me. Personal preference.

[thorny axle]

What do you think

[lucid echo]

Why do you ask

[thorny axle]

Probably something in 12th gen

[thorny axle]

Or something really really random

[thorny axle]

CFD parallels really well

Which is talking about an issue of a browser

[lucid echo]

That tracker stuff is for their browser, not the search engine

[hasty helm]

it starts with one

[stoic beacon]

You can say case in point all you want, but it doesn't mean much when you don't actually read the article that you are trying to use to prove your (incorrect) point

[thorny axle]

And I’m basically trying to think of the fastest way to run it on the go

[stoic beacon]

If you want to win keyboard warrior fights Gorujo, you can't just google what you want to hear, click the top link and paste it into a Discord

[thorny axle]

I don’t think you got my point. My point is that it’s still talking about browsers and privacy

[tepid dagger]

guys my laptop just randomly freeze and crash for no reason

it's a i7-11 gen cpu and 8gb ram

[stoic beacon]

I'd say the bigger issue is the company freaking out about how much they "love privacy" and "take care of their users," yet, deciding to sell out their users for a profit. That's not a tech issue to fix, that's a people issue

[tepid dagger]

?

blue screen

just like randomly

sometimes even if i have only ms word and chrome opened

[thorny axle]

^
I could find 20 articles that say exactly what each of you is trying to say, there’s no winning here

I know that partially from experience

[red marten]

you're all failing to see the light that is IE8

yeah the browser debates will never end lol. for every single complaint there is about one, there's an equally bad complaint about another

[thorny axle]

Every person on earth has a reason why they use their browser, and making them switch is like trying to make your grandfather stop googling google

It’s a wasted effort

[rare zenith]

I've tried others, but I'm just a pleb chrome user

[stoic beacon]

Chrome is fast and compatible, Edge is faster and more fully featured with the same compatibility, Firefox is slower but is better for protecting the users

[rare zenith]

I liked opera but there was a feeling about it I wasn't a fan of

[thorny axle]

Last I checked, edge actually uses more RAM than chrome, so I guess you pay for the benefits

[stoic beacon]

Correct

Only really an issue if you're in a sub 16GB system though

And Firefox takes more ram than both of them. Edge's main advantage is sleeping tabs for ram usage

Unless you're actively using every single tab in edge, it'll use less resources than chrome

[rare zenith]

I think chrome does the sleeping tabs too

[thorny axle]

last year I had about 250 chrome tabs open on my 4GB school laptop ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[strange elk]

What about Opera GX (no limiters)

[stoic beacon]

Obviously it's possible, doesn't mean it's going to work well

[thorny axle]

I think it only blue-screened about 4 times throughout the year

[stoic beacon]

Opera is interesting, as it definitely contains the most features, but it's very bloated because of that

Opera GX is a meme and a gimmick, without a doubt...no real difference between it and regular opera

[red marten]

firefox uses ~1GiB of RAM for me in regular usage (I regularly have a lot of tabs open). I think chromium is a bit better than that nowadays

[sonic barn]

all chromiun have it

[sonic barn]

firefox uses more ram for me

[strange elk]

Im thinking of switching to Mozilla but I already use bing and the ai feature is great. I just hate edge for what it is

[sonic barn]

I just use edge now

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I use Edge for work stuff and Firefox for personal stuff

[red marten]

can you not use bing's ai stuff with firefox? is it not just part of bing? ngl i've not really had a look at it

[stoic beacon]

You can use it on Firefox, it's just much more convenient on Edge

[strange elk]

Nah. Need to use edge at least for now

[thorny axle]

How about safari

[red marten]

ah right

[stoic beacon]

If you're on a Mac

[strange elk]

Really?

[dull granite]

bing ai?

[stoic beacon]

Yes, in Edge, there's a great big button in the top right for it. On Firefox, you actually have to go to bing.com

[red marten]

99% of why i use firefox is just because it's the only real competing web engine now. it's not necessarily better or worse, just different tradeoffs

[sonic barn]

bing ai

[red marten]

hopefully webgpu when it's no longer experimental will help when it comes to graphics performance

[thorny axle]

Tbh, MacBooks have done really well lately

[strange elk]

Oh my main search engine is bing does that not work?

[stoic beacon]

If you don't need Windows exclusive programs, MacBooks are amazing

[strange elk]

This is the internet. Your points aren't valid here and you must be part of the hive mind.

[thorny axle]

I have wondered about using parallels 18

[strange elk]

I really want a macbook to learn coding and such

[thorny axle]

Apparently it actually performs well

[strange elk]

I guess I'm still in the waitlist, I can use it fine on edge at least

[stoic beacon]

That would be a good choice right about now, MacBooks are amazing for programming

[red marten]

you can learn coding on anything. if you like a macbook then get a macbook, but they're not really any better than Windows + WSL (or, hell, just Windows on it's own).

im assuming you're a windows user atm

[stoic beacon]

You can program on Windows, Linux, or Macs, but Macs have the battery life that just let you keep going and going and going....

[thorny axle]

Have you guys heard about it?

[strange elk]

I mean I could use linux but I want something streamlined and portable, thats why I dont really want a desktop for it

[stoic beacon]

MacBook Air then would be great

[thorny axle]

They did, yes

[red marten]

woudln't have to install linux itself. Windows has the "Windows Subsystem for Linux", lets you run Linux inside windows

[thorny axle]

Though you also have to activate windows when you get in, lol

[red marten]

including GUI apps

[strange elk]

I was thinking maybe pro? But I think they've been "nerfed" since the removal of touchbar.

[thorny axle]

I mean, the main difference is that they can handle sustained loads better

[stoic beacon]

At the same time, it's a pain to deal with setting all of that up and working through issues that will arise...if learning programming is the main focus, might as well go with the stable setup

[strange elk]

I know this, you still have to install that. And I was more thinking of moving to linux as a whole again, supports gotten better

[thorny axle]

The air doesn’t have any fans, so it’s better for bursty loads

[stoic beacon]

A Pro is really nice, but it's certainly overkill for programming by a large amount...Pros are great for creating content, but an Air will run programming stuff at the speed of light

[red marten]

I never ran into any issues with it when I used it. not trying to discourage them getting a macbook, indeed they're good pieces of hardware, but there's this idea that they're somehow "better" for programming and learning to program which i disagree with. if you want to learn, it's best to start now with what you've got

[thorny axle]

Even though a lot of Autodesk programs are windows only, I’ve wondered how well they perform through parallels

Without parallels, a mac couldn’t even be a consideration

[stoic beacon]

Unfortunately, bad.

[thorny axle]

Do you have any reviews?

From what I’ve seen, MacBooks often perform better than windows machines even through parallels

[stoic beacon]

Just personal experience, there's a reason every computer in our studio is a Windows machine.

[thorny axle]

How old are the computers

[stoic beacon]

I guess if you're just doing hobby stuff, it could manage it

[thorny axle]

And have you ever tried parallels 18 specifically

[red marten]

I want to get a mac at some point. I main Linux but you need mac os to do iOS development, and there's a lot of money there

[stoic beacon]

We upgrade every year, so Intel 13th gen CPUs and 4090s for the GPUs

[thorny axle]

It’s been sort of an outlier in that it actually works well

[little zinc]

Potato

[stoic beacon]

I'd have to check and get back to you on that, I'm not sure whether or not we have

[thorny axle]

Perhaps not as well as a 13900K with a 4090, but in laptops, perhaps better than an equally priced windows machine

[little zinc]

I know

[thorny axle]

As well, you actually get a full day (or 2) of battery life

Tbh apple doesn’t have anything that powerful yet, but their laptops have really been the killer, not so much the desktops

That’s why the M1 MacBook is a legend while the M1 Mac Studio is a meme

[stoic beacon]

@thorny axle One of our techs already responded to me, 3DS Max doesn't even come close to running functionally in Parallels 18. Might be fine for hobby/for fun use though

[thorny axle]

I just remember one of the things they showed was kind of like browser responsiveness, in which it performed better than the windows machine by a fair margin, but worse than on MacOS by a roughly equal margin

[thorny axle]

I’m not sure I’d consider college “hobby/fun use”

[stoic beacon]

Then I wouldn't try to shove AutoDesk products through a Mac...depends on how intensive your college is though

[sonic barn]

firefox is more of a privacy catered browser

[thorny axle]

There is one other thing I thought of

With parallels 18, I can run Autodesk CFD on the MacBooks

it might not run well, however I can use a virtual solver

So I could use parallels 18, run it on a MacBook, then actually do the work on a remote PC

[stoic beacon]

Why not just remote it all the time then?

[thorny axle]

Call me trying too hard to use a MacBook, but that battery life…

[thorny axle]

Wdym

[stoic beacon]

Why not just get a MacBook, install all of your programs on your desktop running Windows, throw your Autodesk software on there, and remote to the desktop all the time? Most universities have WiFi blanketing the entire campus at this point

[sonic barn]

my next laptop will prob be bought in 2025, I'll get another thinkpad. Probably a yoga and hopefully we'll have an arm model

[thorny axle]

I didn’t know that was an option

[sonic barn]

rn my laptop is 3 yrs old

[rare smelt]

@wise kettle when you gonna get new laptop that is fully working

[red marten]

I got a second hand ThinkPad x230 from 2013, held up surprisingly well until it just ended itself abruptly.

[thorny axle]

What software could I use to do that?

[stoic beacon]

Parsec is a good one

[sonic barn]

mine is a x13 gen 1 (2020 amd 4650u 16gb ram 512gb ssd), I'll give it to my younger brother probably

[red marten]

very nice. I'd get a newer thinkpad if my budget allowed it haha

[thorny axle]

How much does it cost

[sonic barn]

I got it from a bank for 500$ cad

[stoic beacon]

Free, unless you need multimonitor support. There are a few other paid features, but they wouldn't really affect your use case much

[thorny axle]

“Dual displays, improved colors, and drawing tablet support”

[sonic barn]

just had a keyboard problem, which I fixed. Ask them if they are selling any broken or stuff they don't need. This was bought also in 2020 as well, so I got a really good deal as it was still on warranty

[thorny axle]

Sounds useless

[sonic barn]

Before then I bought a intel t14s for 450$, however the 10310u sucks so bad

[stoic beacon]

For engineering (which it sounds like you're doing), yes

[thorny axle]

Could this be used to connect to say a server farm as well?

[red marten]

my x230 was £50 so hard to beat that. i only really need a laptop for text editing, web browsing, and ssh'ing so it's not too bad. i was considering getting the x220 keyboard and fitting it in because it seems nicer, but it died before i could. did give it a new screen, tho

[wise kettle]

I mean it works just as a desktop because it needs Ethernet, needs to be plugged in or else it will die because the battery is flat, and needs Linux because windows 8.1 doesn’t work even though it’s what came on it

[thorny axle]

If I ever wanted to expand my solver time

[sonic barn]

runs at like 70c normally vs the 45c on my ryzen thinkpad and I get a bit less battery but still its much nicer

[stoic beacon]

I don't believe so, you would probably connect to a server farm the same way you connect to a NAS

[rare smelt]

How about opening your screen

[sonic barn]

remote pc = how it should be

[wise kettle]

It’s fine just completely broke

[sonic barn]

my laptop supports a sim card too

[thorny axle]

Would I need a software for that as well?

[sonic barn]

although I only ever use it if its really necessary

[stoic beacon]

No, but your connection will be different depending on how the system is set up. You'd want to ask your professors about that though

[thorny axle]

Well, say hypothetically it’s my server

[molten drift]

Well I learned FFXIV has a real world guitar.... And of course it's square soft levels of cost

[stoic beacon]

Set it up as you see fit then

[thorny axle]

Which I hypothetically make with like 2 old PCs because I don’t want to buy a new one

[sonic barn]

just undervolt em if you have too much power draw for managing whatever storage system

10W should be more than enough for an old pc

that's around like 1.2ghz

[thorny axle]

lol

[thorny axle]

Not quite that old, 3rd gen I5

Hypothetically

[sonic barn]

yeah so you're fine, still undervolt them and you'll save on power bills

[pliant karma]

I made a school laptop buckle with opening about 100ish tabs

it froze completely

oh and did I mention the tabs were blank

[thorny axle]

Tbh, this all seems more complicated than just using a MacBook for it

[pliant karma]

said tab layout with one of my extensions

[thorny axle]

They should buy 32GB laptops so we can open as many tabs as we want

[stoic beacon]

Like I said, if you really wanted it to be easy, have one desktop with all your Autodesk software on it, then remote to it from your MacBook

[sonic barn]

xtu solves it if you don't wanna do it in the bios, there's also throttlestop, which I prefer over the buggy xtu

[stoic beacon]

You're talking about server farms and stuff, but you're wanting to make a server farm out of two old PCs, which is not a farm, that's just two old PCs

[thorny axle]

I just meant expanding with more PCs

I’m not even sure my PC would be faster than the MacBook

[sonic barn]

even with a 1kw = 7 cents cad here, that's a lot in savings if you're running the server 24/7

[thorny axle]

I would not be running it that much, CFD takes like 5 minutes per solve, and maybe a few runs per hour

[thorny axle]

Say 300W combined, 24 hours a day, I’d spend about one dollar a day

At $0.13/kWhr

[sonic barn]

if you want to pay for it over a 12$/month subscription for 4tb with onedrive, sure

[thorny axle]

I just wanted to know how well this parallels thing performs on macs, lol. I could just test myself, there’s a 14 day return policy on the MacBooks and I parallels 18

I could try using parsec with my desktop to see if that performs any better

Or ask some friend with a better PC to let me try it on theirs

Then just choose the best solution, according to performance and more importantly, my opinion, and use that

[sonic barn]

Return policy works but I recommend asking for an open box model to make it easier on the workers

[stoic beacon]

Man...just finished DF's video on the Last of Us port. I really wish they would make a website or something with tables that show which games are terrible on PC compared to console. It's getting absurd

[sonic barn]

It's optimizations

[thorny axle]

Is that like a refurbished one?

[stoic beacon]

No, go watch the video...it's bad.

Some things are just straight up mistakes

[sonic barn]

Yes, if you know you're returning it then it's best you go for that, also cheaper sales tax

[thorny axle]

$389 service tax is a bit yikes

[sonic barn]

Yeah but up to you

[thorny axle]

I didn’t know they had M2 refurbished ones

[sonic barn]

If you talk with em they might be able to test in the store

Or through support

[thorny axle]

Really? Just ask them to test the software I want?

[thorny axle]

Autodesk CFD is ~$10,000/year lol

[stoic beacon]

Student licensing is free.

[thorny axle]

I’m not sure apple is a student

[stoic beacon]

Autodesk is VERY loose with their student licensing. You can sign up for a student license with every email. It just means that the files you make in it will have a tag saying that they cannot be sold/professionally used

[thorny axle]

That’s good

So, you think I could just… ring up apple, and ask them to use parallels 18 and Autodesk CFD just so I can see if I like the performance?

[sonic barn]

There's a PC store Canada computers that does that

[thorny axle]

Do you by any chance know of an American equivalent

[sonic barn]

micro center?

[thorny axle]

Or can I just call them

[sonic barn]

not sure though

I only asked them to run a cinebench for my i7 9700k back in 2019 though

just to compare it against the i9 9900k and there was little difference for single core

[thorny axle]

If so, it doesn’t really matter where they are

[plush rivet]

Micro center

[thorny axle]

Will they just test software because I ask them to?

[plush rivet]

Varies, most likely yes why not, or not due to security reasons

[thorny axle]

If they refuse to use parallels and Autodesk for “security reasons,” I’m going to make a plastic explosive

[plush rivet]

Uhhhhh

[thorny axle]

A model of one out of plastic

[sonic barn]

well depends on who is there, I was thinking of buying a i9 9900k and didn't buy it after the test

[runic lagoon]

They’ll still show up at your door. Not with it. 😂

[thorny axle]

FBI open up

[urban radish]

God damn, Canadas supposed to have our first 20° day of the year this Wednesday

[quiet acorn]

is there any way to contact an LMG staff or will I get beaned for @ them

[stoic beacon]

Use Twitter.

[runic lagoon]

That dude who got arrested for saying stuff on 4chan.

[thorny axle]

Why do they even call them plastic explosives?

[quiet acorn]

cuz all I need help on is what button to press in widnows 11 installation process XD

[thorny axle]

That’s a strange reason

[sonic barn]

there's guides on soap bombs on the internet and wikipedia

[stoic beacon]

Oh, in that case, go to YouTube

[thorny axle]

Soap bomb? What

[sonic barn]

pretty sure there's a lot on youtube

[stoic beacon]

You also can ask Reddit or the #1027757333117415424 chat here.

[thorny axle]

What is it? A firecracker in a shampoo bottle?

[sonic barn]

yes and its like 2 hours to make using stuff from a store

[quiet acorn]

alright imma do that since I can't find it on youtube at all on the problem I have and tech chat couldnt help too sad

[runic lagoon]

Reddit knows everything. Upvote first

[rare smelt]

I have 1300 views and 0 comments on a Reddit post for an issue I had

[thorny axle]

We should probably stop talking about bombs

[sonic barn]

just search how to diy napalm

[full fossil]

Y’all gonna get us on a list

[thorny axle]

How to make a nuke in your backyard

[sonic barn]

someone did that actually

[thorny axle]

A nuclear reactor, yes

[stoic beacon]

On which one? The trick with reddit is to go to a highly volatile subreddit (buildapc, pcgaming, etc) and then post something that is incorrect, and then everybody will flock to you to point out the correct way to do it.

Just asking "do I do this or do I do that" is not the way to go about it. You have to say "This way is BETTER" and then go with what they say

[runic lagoon]

I’m always randomly selected at airports. 😂 it sucks.

[sonic barn]

same thing when it goes off

[thorny axle]

Didn’t work very well

Stop using your nabors Wi-Fi

[manic talon]

[runic lagoon]

How do you get packet loss on Ethernet.

Like if you ping your router. You shouldn’t have any.

[sonic barn]

plot twist, its on a wifi extender

[desert dagger]

unless the router is under very high load.

[runic lagoon]

Like it’s ether the internet or a bad cable.

[sonic barn]

then unplug and replug it in

[runic lagoon]

If you set your dns to google. Most bad routers won’t crash as much.

But you gotta do it on all your devices.

[desert dagger]

or you configure it as the dns on the router.

[shut violet]

Imagine that

[runic lagoon]

If you do it on the router. The router still fills up it’s ram with dns. And implodes.

[desert dagger]

I did have packet loss at one point when I was using the realtek 2.5 Gbit port on my mobo as its absolutely scuffed and can just mess out completely, reverting to the 1gbit sorted that out, but as Tylor said, could also be a bad cable.

Do you have the same problem on all devices on the network or just this device

..and you get packet loss on all devices directly to the router...on all devices?

and get the same problem with different routers as well?

[full fossil]

Sounds like an isp issue ngl

[desert dagger]

Not if its directly to the router id say..

[full fossil]

Or a busted cable somewhere else

[desert dagger]

Must be an absolutely shit router in that case

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-what-power-rangers-funny-gif-15052721

[full fossil]

Even your isp has come to look at it??

[desert dagger]

that wont ...or at least should not have any effect on your internal network..

in fact it's not a very good cpu all in all

bro im pretty sure that shit would lag on microsoft word icl

well maybe 9th gen i3 (not even the best 9th gen i3) is not a very good gaming chip

i can totally understand that and i respect it

i ran integrated on a shitty laptop for a good amount of time

im just saying that the game lagging on a doo doo cpu isn't because the game is bad it's because the cpu is ass

trust you'll move up soon king 🙏

the heavens have told me you will be upgrading to 10th gen or better within the next 15 years

also idk, never played cod so im not sure if its a hard game to run

there's your answer then

[strange elk]

Thats an addiction, and thats unhealthy. Also 5 is rookie numbers trutru

[fluid ridge]

5 is insane for a 13 year old

[full fossil]

[gilded quest]

[fluid ridge]

when i was 13 me and my friends were fucking cooking ants with a magnifying glass 9 hours a day

[full fossil]

well if you factor the other 3 watching Ltt on the TV then not so much

[fluid ridge]

[full fossil]

out of a day with 14 hours for me cuz I sleep like 10 (im young))

[fluid ridge]

he's becoming chronically online

[full fossil]

that is true

[gilded quest]

his parents shouldn't have to take the mac away from him if he isn't a dick to them

[strange elk]

13 is young? Wow I had no idea

[fluid ridge]

also you were born in 2010, i literally remember new years 2010 and what i was doing in 2010

[late sapphire]

guys, whats the difference between EPS and ATX pins?

[strange elk]

LMAO I FEEL SO OLD NOW THANKS

[fluid ridge]

👌

[full fossil]

bnah bro learn to count 2009

[tardy terrace]

EPS is part of the ATX standard, it's just a high-current 12v rail for cpu power

[fluid ridge]

you said 13, it's 2023, I assumed 2010

[full fossil]

the year of the iMac redesign; I love that year!

[wispy marsh]

If I replace the 2600 with my spare 5600x i need a new motherboard and ram

[late sapphire]

ahh

[full fossil]

crap sorry ur right like half of my prom is 2010

[late sapphire]

thx

[strange elk]

2009 is the more safe guess tbf

[full fossil]

im october thats why LOL

[gilded quest]

they're both 12V and ground, but keyed differently

[fluid ridge]

anyways you're young as hell

[gilded quest]

aww hes a recession baby 🥺

[fluid ridge]

touch some grass my youthful friend it will play a helpful role in your development

[strange elk]

LmaO

[tardy terrace]

Touch plants

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/grass-munching-eating-sun-weed-gif-15563090

[strange elk]

[strange elk]

Get a pet grass

[mild otter]

No, don't go outside. The sun is a deadly Laser

[full fossil]

I'm a metro guy I tough bricks everyday; im not gonna touch my dogs piss area

[fluid ridge]

deadly laser that provides vitamin D

[strange elk]

Not anymore, there's a blanket. Granted its got holes

[full fossil]

yes I have an excruciating sun burn from like a week ago that won't go away cuz I was like at the beach

[full fossil]

I drink synthetic vitamins what more to ask for

[mild otter]

Skill issue

[fluid ridge]

vitamins out of a bottle are inferior to real vitamins

[full fossil]

nope, lack of sunblock; I subestimated the importance of it

[mild otter]

The ambient light is enough

[fluid ridge]

solted sounds like you need to go outside more often

[full fossil]

Ik, but this generation lacks eating skills; i weight 110lbs at a 5'9" stature

[mild otter]

Underestimated is normal way

[fluid ridge]

is that skinny

[tardy terrace]

You're thirteen lmao

[mild otter]

Too much homework

[tardy terrace]

you are literally still growing and you have a very active metabolism

[fluid ridge]

im 130 at 6'1 🗿

[mild otter]

Relatively

[fluid ridge]

i think im 6'2 now but it is what it is

[fluid ridge]

ah

[full fossil]

then ur as thin as me lmao eat more

[fluid ridge]

"eat more" bro i probably intake more calories per day than most of the american population

[full fossil]

all my friends are 15Xlbs at like 5'8/7"

[mild otter]

Better advice would be the gym

[full fossil]

well then u have supersonic metabolism like me

[fluid ridge]

tough luck fr

[mild otter]

Get buff 39 pack

[full fossil]

wouldn't that burn the minimum amount of carbs I have?

[tardy terrace]

So here's a thing you should start doing at your age- don't compare yourself to your peers based off of physical appearance.

[fluid ridge]

maybe in the next life i will be fortunate enough to be a 600 pound land whale 💪

[mild otter]

You'd grow muscle

Muscle adds weight (in a good way)

[full fossil]

I can eat a whole 24oz tomahawk piece and still be hungry

[strange elk]

Muscle is built from carbs and fats
