also going to the gym with a really fast metabolism is really hard because you don't actually retain any of the calories eaten

[full fossil]

true, true didnt weight that in

[fluid ridge]

which means bulking doesn't do anything

[mild otter]

Literally

[tardy terrace]

Muscle weighs more than fat volumetrically

[full fossil]

exactly! I feel like I am burning the little crap I got left

[full fossil]

yea

I wanna sub to floatplane wut do y'all think?

[mild otter]

No, we're just getting dumber

[full fossil]

is it worth it @tardy terrace ?

[fluid ridge]

no

The second I touched my first console I lost 30 iq

[fluid ridge]

do not subscribe to anything you will become more chronically online

[mild otter]

Only if you want exclusive stuff

[fluid ridge]

take it from me im basically online at least 8 hours a day on any device

[full fossil]

currently I got HBOMax, Netflix, YT Premium, Spotify Premium, Geforce NOW and Apple Arcade

[full fossil]

but I love ltt; I've been watching him for like 6 years

[fluid ridge]

so who funds this ultra expensive per month expenditure

[full fossil]

he's facinating for me

[fluid ridge]

can i get your netflix password

[full fossil]

hmmmmmm.............. may.... be....

[mild otter]

So have I but I simply use YouTube more so I don't need floatplane

[full fossil]

oh maybe not sry did u watch ltt's vid about netflix's imbecilic move blocking non-family member logins?

[fluid ridge]

floatplane more or less is a glorified tip jar for LMG

[mild otter]

I have an rpi so if they do that I'm covered

[fluid ridge]

anything that's not good enough to make the YT cut goes there, anything good enough for YT is already on YT, yada yada

[full fossil]

yea same thats why I was thinking about not. I do have his Party Shirt which I LOVE so I have tipped him 34.99

[mild otter]

I really want his backpack

[full fossil]

well thats what he doesn't want you to know, but the harsh reality nonetheless

[full fossil]

I want the screwdriver and the pillow

[fluid ridge]

i mean he fully advertises it as such

[full fossil]

I love them soooooo damn much

[fluid ridge]

you're not going to get a groundbreaking experience on floatplane lol

[mild otter]

Anthony the goat

[fluid ridge]

he makes that clear which is good on him, and still gets subscribers because he's quite open about it

[full fossil]

i mean not really, like picture this: in his 2020 update to the wish.com pc build (or 2021 cant recall) he cut his finger with a metal shard and then he's like "floatplane behind the scenes on its way!" or some crap like that

[mild otter]

Anthony Linux channel when

[full fossil]

so you'd see what? him with a first aid kit removing it?! WTF!!!

[gilded quest]

https://www.youtube.com/@Level1Linux

[full fossil]

but then he's not an eccentric individual although he appears to be

[fluid ridge]

yeah because it's not good enough to be on youtube - realistically nobody actually cares about linus cutting his finger, it's just a fun little behind the scenes blooper reel type thing

linus probably makes more money on the sponsor spots for 1-2 videos than he does on 1 month of floatplane

[gilded quest]

flotplane subs are whales fwiw

[fluid ridge]

the good part of floatplane is the better bitrate though, that's pretty epic

WAN show takes some effort to actually sit and watch; often end up playing games while watching

is as close as you're gonna get to an Anthony linux channel

wan show is one of three podcasts that i watch

[tardy terrace]

it got taken down but the thread is pretty great

[full fossil]

I do remember linus' vid about his linux install I was kinda laughing my ass off cuz I used to daily drive Manjaro GNOME like 2 years ago before M-series removed that capability

[night heron]

the other two are cannabis content creators

[full fossil]

which is kinda why I admire anthony, how he can be so good with linux

[sonic barn]

kinda want to try that

[mild otter]

Linux is easy and fun

Better than windows and Mac

[limber crest]

Which Linux?

[red marten]

well, it can be, anyways

[mild otter]

Gentoo

[red marten]

not when you get Steam uninstalling GNOME on Pop!_OS tho :^)

[full fossil]

the day proton and wine become so good (or SR-IOV support returns for VMs to overcome anticheats) will be the day I'll use linux again

[night heron]

gentoo is for embedded systems and people who want to feel cool

[mild otter]

If he read it would have been solved

[night heron]

no other applications

[mild otter]

You gotta be able to read

[gilded quest]

[full fossil]

it kinda is thou, but GNOME is by far the most complicated one, shitty controls hard to get used to, but its aesthetic asf nonetheless

[red marten]

tbf I wouldn't expect people to read that. I would tell them they're an idiot after, but if I was installing steam and was a normal everyday user I wouldn't give it second thought

[gilded quest]

people who want to spend more time compiling updates than using their PC

[desert dagger]

And this is where you lose the average PC user.

[mild otter]

Idk man steam discord matrix and other things run great on Gentoo

[night heron]

it's not worth the compile time at all

[red marten]

thankfully Pop!_OS is not the most used distro in the world for normal users. Ubuntu or Fedora are best for that

[desert dagger]

give me Biebian or give me death.

[mild otter]

It was like 3 sentences

[desert dagger]

Your average user would not know what GNOME is.

[full fossil]

good point; but why would you ever use the gnome appstore! damn it linus! its like installing steam on the windows store if they had it

[sonic barn]

normal users won't use linux

they won't even know what the terminal is in windows

[night heron]

powershell goated tbh

[tardy terrace]

w/ da saus

[sonic barn]

the new terminal is reskined

[red marten]

contrary to popular belief, the command line isn't really that necessary on Ubuntu or Fedora

[night heron]

you can activate windows for free and completely remove all telemetry through powershell

[sonic barn]

there's copilot cli coming to the terminal too

[mild otter]

Gnome app store is the best app store on Linux. Gnome is really great but kde is probably the best for someone coming from windows. His biggest mistake was using Manjaro afterwards

[sonic barn]

ty my russia comrades

[sonic barn]

kde is a de

[red marten]

the issue with linux is the community. everyone gives tech support on the command line lol. really distros should have a "fix manager" that is just a repository of (audited and approved) fixes for various issues.

someone runs into an issue and asks about it? tell them to install fix #412

[night heron]

russians come clutch with diy stuff so often

[mild otter]

Not compared to any other shell that exists other than like ash or windows cmd

[sonic barn]

its free as in you pay with your time

[mild otter]

Yeah I'm very aware

[tardy terrace]

Windows is a massive W in this regard. I love this setup.

[mild otter]

Not really

[finite cloud]

That would help with a lot of issues to be honest

[mild otter]

If you go with fedora you pay about 10 minutes of your time and done

[tardy terrace]

transparency in terminal w/ wallpaper engine in the background \o/

[red marten]

it's free as in you don't pay anything for it and you have a working os. you don't need to customize every facet of linux to use it

[night heron]

you dont pay anything for windows either

[sonic barn]

never had something break on linux, have you?

[mild otter]

That's like basic stuff

[tardy terrace]

It's the small things that make me happy.

[night heron]

the real based OS is bsd

[red marten]

I'm surprised nobody's done it yet tbh. It would just need a really simple UI for it to work

[mild otter]

Oh no, I have. Every time I learned or had fun fixing it so in my opinion I didn't waste anything

[sonic barn]

except telementry, oh no the fbi knows I use a windows

[mild otter]

OpenBSD

[red marten]

OpenIndiana >>>>> BSD :^)

[fluid ridge]

bro linux purists are always coping about how easy to use linux is for the average user when in reality windows would be a far better choice for most end users

[mild otter]

No they know everything that you do on it regardless of what it is

[red marten]

I'm not saying it's a better choice for most people. just that it is a choice lol

[night heron]

linux is so easy to use!!! (i have several hundreds of hours of experience in the terminal and only now is it easy to use)

[finite cloud]

I’m a somewhat average user and I have broken linux every time I used it and most of the time I just used it normally

[fluid ridge]

definitely a choice for sure

[sonic barn]

I wouldn't consider that "fun"

[red marten]

and it's becoming more and more of an equal choice with time

[fluid ridge]

thats cap

[mild otter]

I did, I enjoy using Linux.

[sonic barn]

everytime I used linux, I did learn new things, but the stress associated with it isn't worth it

[fluid ridge]

straight cap bro you know it i know it, torvalds knows it and microsoft knows it

[night heron]

me watching people debate linux while i use macos

[full fossil]

manjaro is amazing

[sonic barn]

some days I would get a pure black screen and thousands of errors logged

[red marten]

lol ok. i've gotten people who don't know what a cpu is to use linux just fine

[mild otter]

No, it very much isn't. Probably the worst distro out there

[fluid ridge]

macos has it's strengths and weaknesses like all operating systems but id rather use macos than linux for sure

[full fossil]

arch is legit the best but impossible to install, so manjaro comes here and comes in with great support and a good community

[sonic barn]

and that's using it normally

[night heron]

macos is just closed ecosystem bsd

[finite cloud]

I use windows 11 on my pc. Obviously the best windows

[red marten]

mac os is decent, I just don't like the closed ecosystem. I think macos is generally better architected than linux

[tardy terrace]

aren't macos driver files a .kext or something like that

[lucid echo]

All the benefits of unix/bash/zsh with the slick UI and app compatibility (cough cough Adobe)

[tardy terrace]

wait, .kext.. Kernel extension?

[full fossil]

I had an 11th gen i5-1135G7 before (a chip notorious for extremely crappy linux support) and it worked plug-n-play with my laptop

[fluid ridge]

[mild otter]

Arch has a script that lets you install it. (Talking about manhero from this on) The developers are brain dead. The community isn't much better either. Google manjarno

yeah the fans aren't audible if you just take the fans out (my brain is gigantic)

i need a plex server anyways

[fluid ridge]

you cappa i can get a brand new m2 mac mini for 500

[night heron]

the trackpad is bigger than a plus size flagship phone

[sonic barn]

I'll take it for a couple csgo stickers like 200$ worth

[full fossil]

not really this M2 Max that im on rn (on top of my lap which means the ventilation holes are blocked) doesn't ever reach 50 degrees C even with my 300 firefox tabs, while my mom's intel once got to 105 and had an emergency shut down

[lucid echo]

Hot take - Apple is probably the only big tech company that could successfully bring native Linux to the masses (but they wont)
Imagine "MacOS Pro", a linux distro with the same smooth UI and user-friendliness of macOS, but with the depth of native linux
Pair that with a rosetta-like proton-like translation layer that would allow it to run Apple Silicon programs like Adobe & MS Office

Valve is a close second, but really they're only targeting gamers

[tired glade]

[sonic barn]

I have too much csgo stickers

[mild otter]

@full fossil http://manjarno.snorlax.sh/ read this. It's actually outdated as it doesn't include how the Manjaro developers broke asahi Linux by changing something that was turned off specifically because it broke things and without reading any docs the dev switched it on (I believe it was something in mesa)

[night heron]

apple doesnt want to use an open operating system

On paper, technically mac os is open and free to download

[red marten]

microsoft equally could. just port windows over to linux and create the "Linux Subsystem for Windows". but they also won't (because it's kind of a pointless endeavor)

[full fossil]

I'll take it for recycling

[lucid echo]

What I was getting at is, if they suddenly had a change of heart overnight, they'd be more successful than Windows since it's already a unix OS

I can easily agree to everything (although I'm not really affected by it) but stability is great

Alright, just looking at the RoG Ally, I have one major complaint. That Dpad is bringing back old nightmares that was the Xbox 360 controller's dpad. That thing was horrible for precision platformers and puzzle games like Tetris.

god damn it

plexamp it is

they store 320kbps on their servers which you can download for free

if it's not CD quality flac or wav im not listening to it

hurts my ears fr

[full fossil]

Cds? Naw, use a record

[night heron]

3/4 of the people using lossless music dont have gear good enough to benefit from it anyway

[fluid ridge]

my first gen airpods will for sure

[night heron]

for sure

gotta have lossless files to compress over bluetooth protocol

[fluid ridge]

LDAC 💪

[sonic barn]

I am using the same interface from 2018

[night heron]

they dont support ldac iir

[finite cloud]

They do not. Airpods use AAC. Apple’s proprietary one

[sonic barn]

I use the old version + the new features

[full fossil]

compared to yt music, its glorious

[fluid ridge]

yt music's shit quality isn't yt musics fault

it's inherent in the nature of yt music because it's scraped from the rest of youtubes audio library meaning it goes through youtubes optimized for video compression algorithims

[night heron]

i listen to music using regular youtube a lot

because i like the videos

[fluid ridge]

• most of the time people uploading to youtube probably upload an already compressed 4x before mp4 file

[full fossil]

i've noticed that

[lucid echo]

What's a shame is that Spotify has lossless copies of its entire catalog - It's required in order to submit music to the platform

[full fossil]

its yt without video basically

[night heron]

plus didnt they trial lossless in 2019

yet it still isnt public yet

[lucid echo]

[stray apex]

Spotify understands that your average person does not give a shit and saves money on bandwidth

[night heron]

all it is is greed

they dont want to stomach the bandwidth costs because they know theyre a normie platform

[lucid echo]

I'm assuming it's (partially) the same issue with YT & 4K - Their user base is too massive for them to handle the bandwidth. Just a guess tho

• so few people who'd actually be viewing it in native 4k anyways

[night heron]

i think the majority of people watching youtube do it on a phone or tv

[fluid ridge]

which is why it would make sense to charge extra for lossless, as was the plan originally with spotify hifi, except it seems that spotify forgot about it

[stray apex]

Why bother

[fluid ridge]

🤷 market share

im sure spotify would want to take a chunk out of tidal/apple music if they could

[lucid echo]

If spotify added hifi I'd still go with Tidal. I much prefer the algorithm & UI

[sonic barn]

spotify still allows you to disable ads and access the premium servers without a valid premium account

[stray apex]

Is the extra $5 a month they'll get from a few dozen thousand people worth the cost to develop and maintain the feature?

[night heron]

ive been tempted to switch to apple music but ive had the same spotify playlist for like 4 years

[fluid ridge]

you can use a converter service

[night heron]

i dont wanna start over

[tardy terrace]

I used tidal for a while but songs that I frequently listened to were starting to disappear off the platform & I got tired of it

[lucid echo]

There are a handful of sites that transfer everything over. Playlists, liked songs, saved albums, etc

[fluid ridge]

just search up spotify to apple music playlist

[night heron]

might have to check that out

[lucid echo]

It's what I used to move 20k songs worth of playlists from Spotify -> Tidal

[fluid ridge]

the good thing about apple music is that not only is there seamless ios integration, there's some music with spatial audio, dolby atmos, and lossless compression

[stray apex]

YT music is the best for weeb shit

[night heron]

spatial audio and atmos is cringe

it's stereo man there is no surround sound

[stray apex]

And just seems to have the largest catalog in general because youtube

[fluid ridge]

idk about atmos but vision is based

[lucid echo]

Have you tried it?

[sonic barn]

what about people with 4 ears

[stray apex]

I had issues with finding stuff on tidal and even occasionally Spotify
Never on YouTube

[night heron]

i havent tried apple music's version but ive tried spatial audio mixes of songs

youre just taking a stereo track and fucking with it what's the point

[fluid ridge]

the benefit of being the worlds 2nd most trafficked website and the 1st most popular media sharing service by far

[hazy dawn]

Isn't the point that the artist is adding the spatial information.

[lucid echo]

I've done it with Airpods Pros & Tidal's Dolby implementation.
I recognize it's still stereo but.... there's something about it... For most tracks it just hits different.
The perception trickery is real

Really really really depends on the song and how well they mixed it

[hazy dawn]

YMMV obviously some people are just going to run it through an algorithm

[gilded quest]

this 1000%

[night heron]

i just dont support calling it dolby atmos because it's not

[lucid echo]

Some have no noticeable difference. Some of the live concert recordings from the 60s/70s are... "unexpectedly immersive" is what me and a few friends have described it

[night heron]

maybe im just too audiophile videophile analpilled

[lucid echo]

Labels are labels and marketing is marketing. But there's something there, if it's done right

emphasis on Done Right

[gilded quest]

a good set of open backs + high quality stereo master is all you need

[night heron]

im speakerpilled but i do prefer openback over closed for headphones

[gilded quest]

im openbackpilled

[lucid echo]

Atmos songs is kinda like a different flavor of ice cream. Open back or hifi speaker is delicious, but atmos just taste different

Don't knock it till you try it (asterisk - with the right setup & songs) is all I'm sayin

[gilded quest]

actual atmos masters on an actual atmos setup is one thing

but the "spatialized" audio that apple and android are doing just ain't it

[sonic barn]

atmos is just virtual sound, if you have two speakers it'll always sound awful

[night heron]

i view atmos mixes of stereo songs the same way i view "8D AUDIO!" uploads of songs on youtube

[lucid echo]

I'm sorry you feel that way

[gilded quest]

when i had apple music, every "atmos" mix I tried just crushed the dynamic range and made the audio feel "hollow"

[night heron]

that hollowness probably helps make consumer headphones not sound so bad

[lucid echo]

There's substance behind the gimmicky marketing though.
I spent many years behind a soundboard in-studio and live, so I'm not just some rando falling for the marketing

[night heron]

because so many consumer headsets have extreme midbass boosts

[lucid echo]

Atmos only works on a specific list of headphones, so random pairs are gonna sound odd or just not use that audio stream

[gilded quest]

i guess
perhaps my vision is clouded because I have open back sennheisers that can produce a better 3D effect with stereo tracks than airpods can do with atmos tracks

[tired glade]

Oh, Rog handhold is today's video

[night heron]

i think we're just cranky boomer purists

[gilded quest]

i hate that i kinda love the rog

I have my TVs set as close to film-maker mode as possible
I have neutral headphones and use flat EQs

[sonic barn]

https://sourceforge.net/p/hesuvi/wiki/Help/#71-virtualization

that's all atmos is, except its proprietary

[night heron]

same

Goes back to it being case-by-case
IIRC Jimmy Page handled the dolby mixes for Zeppelin's albums, and it shows

[sonic barn]

wrong post:
https://sourceforge.net/p/hesuvi/wiki/How Is Headphone Surround Virtualization Even Possible and Why Do We Need It%3F/

this explains how it is done in reference to that "3D audio"

[lucid echo]

I ain't sayin' its perfect, but it's also not snake oil

[night heron]

if metal heads used linear bass headphones theyd stop listening to metal because theyd hear how bad it actually sounds

[gilded quest]

i get annoyed when applepilled people say "apple music spatial audio changed my life"
i guess if you only listen to regular ass airpods, maybe it does sound better than stereo; but they should also try some proper cans

[sonic barn]

Humans, like many other animals, possess two ears. If you would be deaf on one ear, then it would be almost impossible to draw a distinction between different sound locations. With two ears however, the brain can reproduce every two dimensional position around your head by analyzing differences in volume, frequency and time. Furthermore, the outer structure of your ears channel sounds coming from above and below, resulting in an almost perfect 3D audio perception.

its just virtual

[lucid echo]

Yeah it's one of those topics where the minor benefits provided are greatly exaggerated by people who don't know what they're talking about

[night heron]

i view all displays or audio devices as imperfect tools

i wish we didnt need them at all

i wish you could just beam what the artist wanted to make right into my head

[sonic barn]

I mean that's what the search bar is for

but in knowing our progress in the generative models, we'll eventually get to the point where bob and joe won't know what a computer is. It'll only be apart of history

You know, I've always hated Macbooks but after seeing their latest arm chips they seem pretty decent. Unfortunately I can't afford a macbook so I'm going to create a Hackintosh with my Thinkpad T480. At this point you may be wondering, aren't you the Linux kid and I answer this: Yes but the amount of times that I've had to spend 3h trouble shooting something insignificant is driving me nuts and tbh linux belongs on the server as it was made to be. So now I'm going to spend many hours creating a hackintosh

[tired glade]

Reset password

That's is epic account

[waxen pier]

But guy reset everything tho

[tired glade]

Contact epic and stop clicking random links

And linking everything to everything

[waxen pier]

She did pay 30 dollars to fake website

And didn't realise

[tired glade]

Yes,stop clicking random links

[waxen pier]

I'll tell her that

[tired glade]

And contact bank, account can be compromised

[full fossil]

I'm installing ventura on a thinkpad

[tired glade]

Lol

Had they implemented noise suppression?

[waxen pier]

How did guy do it tho?

[tired glade]

Do what?

[waxen pier]

How did guy get into her account without password?

[tired glade]

Room temperature?

[tired glade]

She just given it to them

If you in desert environment,45 isn't that hot for few running programmes and windows

[waxen pier]

Is it illegal to get into someone's account?

[tired glade]

Yes

Especially if not approved

[waxen pier]

I have 2fa on mine why its safer mine

[tired glade]

If you not giving it to anyone,you fine

[waxen pier]

Can get password from you without you telling them

[tired glade]

No

[sly parcel]

Any idea how long can I store ptm7950? I plan to get a sheet for my laptop but I was thinking of getting a bigger one to have and for a steam deck when I buy it

[tired glade]

Oh,that pad,it can last you like a year and half

Just don't get copycat

[sly parcel]

Buying from moddiy

[waxen pier]

How long can samsung tablet last you?

[tired glade]

Until you break it, but internal rated for 2 years and maybe will last for 5+

[waxen pier]

Just seems to load up slower

[sly parcel]

Now I have to figure it out how much I will need for the steam deck as well.

[gilded quest]

which specific model

[tired glade]

It just getting old

[tired glade]

Check Linus moding video

[full fossil]

I wonder how many atms still use xp

[waxen pier]

Samsung galaxy A7

It is

[tired glade]

As many who hadn't switched to Linux

https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a7_(2018)-9340.php

Exynos 7885

[sly parcel]

Can't find any info about the cpu dimenssion

[gilded quest]

its gonna be feeling it's age

[waxen pier]

Any tablets that good for gaming?

[gilded quest]

Steam Deck

[tired glade]

Apple tablets, it's same as iPhone soc

[full fossil]

Ipad

[waxen pier]

Steam deck tablet?

[full fossil]

I'm looking forward for ventura. That file is still downloading. Gonna be weird going from gentoo to MacOS. What should I expect?

[tired glade]

Or new one switch to M1?

[gilded quest]

base model iPad, used iPad Air 4th gen

[full fossil]

If you want a portable computer just get a laptop

[gilded quest]

(its not really a tablet but it is good for gaming)

[full fossil]

Or a steam deck

As an "android" guy. No android tablet even comes close to any Ipad

For the price

[waxen pier]

Can run fortnite steam deck tho?

[full fossil]

Especially if you want a cellular tablet

[gilded quest]

yeah ipad is gonna trounce android tablets for gaming

[tired glade]

Android tablets kinda died off

[full fossil]

Yes apple is a better value somehow in the tablet space

[full fossil]

Of course

[gilded quest]

therapy is cheaper than fortnite

(its not but i'd suggest it nonetheless)

[full fossil]

Good I think they need to focus on phones

[waxen pier]

Does linus play fortnite?

[full fossil]

No

[tired glade]

No

[full fossil]

I think they use it as a test game sometimes

[sly parcel]

How should I try to figure out how much pad do I need for my laptop cpu without opening it

[gilded quest]

they're kinda making a comeback

[full fossil]

Pad? Like cpu cooling pad?

[waxen pier]

People say that Samsung tablet is laggy for gaming

[sly parcel]

ptm7950

[full fossil]

It probably isn’t using the latest processor to be honest

[sly parcel]

magic thermal pad for a video a few months ago

[red marten]

why? if someone wants to copy it, they will find a way. i've yet to see an effective copy protection mechanism for documents

[dull granite]

i eat shredded cheese for dinner

[full fossil]

Depends I guess. If you were to get the latest and greatest then sure it won't but an Ipad Air that costs far less will probably perform better

I’ve heard that samsung tablets don’t have the best screen either

[sly parcel]

I need to find the die dimension(the silicone or watherver is called smaller part on the cpu)

[full fossil]

I’ve used netflix and YouTube on a newer ipad

[full fossil]

Much better than any android tablet

Android tablets are the ugly side of android

[gilded quest]

My Tab S7 is laggy period

[red marten]

so you just want a pdf?

btw copy protection wouldn't mean they have to copy the document word for word, they just need to use software that ignores the protections :P

[full fossil]

Sadly but to some people a walmart tablet is the only thing keeping their children from having a meltdown

[gilded quest]

This is called failing as a parent.

[full fossil]

Especially like those child Amazon fire tablets

[full fossil]

Unfortunately that's most parents these days

[full fossil]

Lmao I guess millennials have done a massive failure to the world then

The ipad mini is basically a phone for people with big hands 💀

[full fossil]

The fold 2

[gilded quest]

theres a lot of good parents out there too

[full fossil]

Is probably the best android “tablet”

[full fossil]

You aren't going to use the fold 2 with 2 hands lol

[full fossil]

Bro every time I go to the market some kid is blasting cocomellon on a amazon fire tablet

[waxen pier]

Will ever be 4k tablet?

[sly parcel]

The cpu has 50x25mm

how much pad do I really need to get

[full fossil]

Why? There's no reason for 4k below 32" in my opinion lol

[sly parcel]

I can't figure it out how big is the die itself

[full fossil]

Lenovo has a 2k tablet

4k would be useless and battery draining

Just like 4k is useless on a phone

Screen is too small to care

[gilded quest]

I worked in a major US retailer for 7 years. It really caused me to hate kids; and especially the shit parents who enabled poor behavior.
But sometimes a well behaved and calm kid would enter the store with their mom or dad and it gave me a sliver of hope for humanity.

[waxen pier]

Had lenovo tablet thought was bad tablet

[stoic beacon]

Tablets, like laptops, have varying degrees of quality, even within the same brand

[full fossil]

I recommend the surface pro if you honestly want a good working tablet for school and for somewhat “gaming”

No god no

[waxen pier]

How much they Cost?

[full fossil]

That thing is a heep of garbage

[stoic beacon]

Surface Pro is an excellent device, not sure what you're on about. Surface Laptop Studio is also really nice

[full fossil]

Get a used thinkpad T480 on ebay for £200-300

[full fossil]

Bruh

[waxen pier]

How much for full price?

[full fossil]

Way too much

[full fossil]

Get one with the i7-8650u

[stoic beacon]

They're around $2,000 for a good one. Do you need the tablet functionality? Why do you want a tablet PC?

[waxen pier]

Because my xbox series s sucks

[full fossil]

I got a i7-8650u vPro thinkpad T480

[waxen pier]

I want to game on something else

[gilded quest]

PS5

[stoic beacon]

PS5.

[full fossil]

PS5

On Amazon there is a sale on lenovo thinkpad x270 its only 166 dollars

[gilded quest]

Steam Deck

[full fossil]

Fuck Microsoft

[stoic beacon]

If you already have a desktop PC, Steam Deck is great. Not sure I'd advocate for it over a PS5 at this point, especially with how bad PC ports have been in general

[waxen pier]

But my monitor is Samsung odyssey g3 is it good monitor

[gilded quest]

if you do, make sure to equip anti-virus

[full fossil]

Eh, I prefer the T480. The last great thinkpad

[full fossil]

I don't use any Microsoft products

[stoic beacon]

T14, P15, X1 Gen 9 would like to have a word with you

[gilded quest]

no ❤️

[full fossil]

Those are all very expensive lol. I would agree to some extent though

[full fossil]

Actually pretty smacking comes with m.2

[full fossil]

Duel nvme drives with raid 0

And removable battery

[waxen pier]

What's t480?

[stoic beacon]

There's a reason why we mention these other consoles though. If you want to game on something else, a tablet PC is definitely not the answer, as it will not even compete with your Series X

[full fossil]

A thinkpad

Google it.

I need a laptop that isn’t 10 years old that’s a business built laptop with removable battery

I guess that thinkpad might work but how old is it

[full fossil]

The T480 ;)

[waxen pier]

True I know alot about xboxs not alot about pcs and tablets and phones

[full fossil]

How old is it

[gilded quest]

modern Xbox are just PCs

[stoic beacon]

4-5 years old

[full fossil]

Gah dang

[full fossil]

6 years old, business laptop and often considered the last great thinkpad

300 dollars for a 5 yo device

[full fossil]

With a i7-8650u

[stoic beacon]

My personal method of getting ThinkPads is waiting for the time right before their next gen comes out, as they sell everything extremely cheap

[full fossil]

It's in demand god damnit. It was 2k back in the day

[stoic beacon]

I was able to get an extremely nice P15 for only $900

[full fossil]

I have a hp elitebook

[stoic beacon]

At this point, that is a very slow CPU compared to ThinkPads he could get for even $500....

[full fossil]

From 2013

[stoic beacon]

Why would you want to buy a laptop with an 8th gen Intel when we are on gen 13?

[waxen pier]

Daft question but can you network router break?

[full fossil]

The build quality and upgradability isn't in those $500 thinkpads

[stoic beacon]

Build quality is definitely still there. Upgradeability? I can definitely flip my ThinkPad over right now and remove the battery

So again, I'm not sure what you're not understanding here...Even modern ThinkPads are excellent devices, and they're much faster than this one you're fanboying over

[full fossil]

By break do you mean like physically or software?

[waxen pier]

Software

[full fossil]

By ddos the router can be overloaded

Your router can also run into issues later in its lifetime

[waxen pier]

There's 10 plus devices connected to it

[full fossil]

Ok?

[waxen pier]

That alot?

[full fossil]

What kind of router?

Like a wifi router?

[waxen pier]

Like router plug into wall

So wifi router

[full fossil]

I mean no it shouldn’t be alot

[waxen pier]

But had been accidentally dropped once

[full fossil]

As long as your router is configured to handle 100 devices which it typically is supposed to it should be fine

[full fossil]

Is it boot looping or anything

Flashing?

[waxen pier]

Turns of and off sometimes

[stoic beacon]

That would be a hardware issue

[full fossil]

See if it has a warranty

Or if its a isp router

Ask for a replacement

It could be having a short circuit

[waxen pier]

How much would it cost to fix?

[full fossil]

I wouldn’t get it fixed per say

I honestly would just ask for a replacement under warranty first

[waxen pier]

Had several years

It

[full fossil]

Probably time for a upgrade

[stoic beacon]

In that case, you might just want to pick up a new one, since WiFi 6 has since come out

[full fossil]

Yeah

[waxen pier]

But will with broadband company tho

And it's there router

Do call them up and request new upgraded one ?

[stoic beacon]

You could try that, but you're better off getting your own and putting theirs into a passthrough mode anyways

[waxen pier]

What's pass through mode mean?

[silk hound]

just installed my 4090 and let me say its loud

[full fossil]

Fan curve

[silk hound]

yeah gonna go play with the fan settings

[full fossil]

Ok

[stoic beacon]

Means your router will be the main one

[full fossil]

Those junky modem router wifi combos suck

[waxen pier]

So possible to have two routers In your house?

[full fossil]

Kind of

[silk hound]

ofc

well

[full fossil]

You need to set one to bridge mode

[silk hound]

exactly

[full fossil]

And one to ap

[waxen pier]

Bridge moee?

[full fossil]

Or whatever

[waxen pier]

Bridge mode?

[jolly galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/router-rettrew-gif-21434157

[full fossil]

I can’t remember I’m too tired

[waxen pier]

Should try unlinking devices from router?

To see if it gets better?

[full fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/all-systems-operational-discord-down-discord-discord-status-server-gif-22808376

[stoic beacon]

You should bring the broken router to your provider and let them give you a new one

[full fossil]

I think you need a better router

[waxen pier]

I'm with virgin media

[full fossil]

Call them

Request a new one

[waxen pier]

Ok but might be funny about it

And question why

[stoic beacon]

Tell them it's broke and you need a new one

[waxen pier]

And probably send someone out

To look at it and might take up to month

Then if think broke give me other one

Is worth it if get charged for them to come out too?

[full fossil]

Bruh they will just send one in the mail

You are overthinking this

[waxen pier]

Don't do that here in uk tho

Because someone as to fit it

[plain dome]

most routers dont need fitting

including over here in the uk

the most youd need to do is plug in the broadband cable

[tired glade]

They will send to closest post office and send you notifications

[molten drift]

The only fittings on a router should be Ethernet and power

If they are charging a tech call for that... They should be out of business.

[waxen pier]

Mines connects to extension lead

[full fossil]

dial up noises

[waxen pier]

Mine eterenet or power?

If it does that?

How can tell if it was

[full fossil]

dial up noises are louder from overthinking

[waxen pier]

Router I massive Router

Is

How can be delivered by post?

[full fossil]

Im starting to think bro is a chat gpt bot

And has become sentient

[waxen pier]

Gpt?

What's that?

[full fossil]

And can’t change out the router himself

[idle nymph]

Sound like an bot

[full fossil]

Because he is a ai

[waxen pier]

I have no experience in that field

[atomic mauve]

Ai takeover

[idle nymph]

Send him a captcha test

[full fossil]

Not good enough we need him to finish a entire roblox level

[plain dome]

No... Routers are not massive, and if they are then my brother in christ you gotta get away from virgin media
or buy one off amazon

[idle nymph]

Make him do an gta5 speedrun

[full fossil]

Bro thinks he needs a server rack like me

[waxen pier]

Gta 5 dead game lol

[plain dome]

That explains it.

[full fossil]

Nice red itchy patch forming on my skin

[waxen pier]

Fornite not that bad

Lol

[plain dome]

I am aware, however only playing fortnite is a sin in most of the world

[full fossil]

Fortnite isn’t as bad as league of legends

[plain dome]

oh god league of legends

[full fossil]

Or raid shadow legends

[waxen pier]

What's better then fortnite lol which game?

[full fossil]

Raid shadow leg-ends

[full fossil]

C s go

[waxen pier]

But that's mobile?

[full fossil]

Mobile?

Bro I’m not a mobile gamer

[waxen pier]

Is csgo mobile Game?

[stoic beacon]

Remember, he hates his Series X, which is why he wanted an android tablet to play Fortnite on. He also doesn't have the authority to replace the router in his home.

I'm guessing we have a "go ask your dad" situation on our hands here...

[full fossil]

Lmao

[waxen pier]

I have autism don't know how to that stuff

[sly parcel]

the moment I hit to add a card to paypal so I can pay the ptm7950 at moddiy, my whole network stack crashes

[plain dome]

Seeing how i am also on the spectrum i dont think its quite an excuse...

[full fossil]

I have a learning disability and can barely do math

I can count only using my hand

[waxen pier]

I understand that but more difficult for me

[full fossil]

You just need to encourage yourself to communicate

I’m 20 years old and I barely know my times tables

[plain dome]

looks dead to me

[full fossil]

I can barely divide without a calculator

I got ADHD and forget my homework all the time

For several years in school

I graduated with a high school diploma

The only reason I remembered some multiplication was because of silly rymes

[plain dome]

literally the only reason i know my 8s is because of some rhyme

[waxen pier]

😑😑

I'm dumb ig

[full fossil]

I remember being in class and you could hear the core 2 duo in my brain screaming away trying to calculate 48 x 2

[full fossil]

Bro no one called you dumb

[plain dome]

[waxen pier]

Said was bot before tho

[full fossil]

Because you kept avoiding the interaction where you would have to plug in the router yourself

You said a technician would have to do it

[waxen pier]

Oh

[indigo crescent]

Anyone with bios/drive knowledge care to help? I’ve got a discussion open and would really appreciate it 🙏🏼

[full fossil]

Bro but in like history class we would be talking about the gulf war or something

And I would be correcting the stupid text book

[plain dome]

pretty much exactly me in Comp. Sci class

[full fossil]

I’m over here explaining to the entire class that Egypt had invaded Israel and set up a war in the gulf in the Middle East

And how air superiority worked

Meanwhile the teacher is talking about some dumb dictator or something

It’s weird how kids still use textbooks

Why don’t we use the internet to get information

[plain dome]

because that would be far too convenient

[full fossil]

Lmao kids use chat gpt to write essays now

[plain dome]

ive been tempted many times to do that exact thing

[full fossil]

Go ahead

No one is stopping you

[plain dome]

excellent point

[full fossil]

I use chat gpt to write letters to people all the time

I change it a little bit and boom

A letter to my senator

About how I feel about a certain law

Or a nice letter to one of my family members without using a single brain cell

[plain dome]

thats based

[limber crest]

That's not a bad idea actually. I'm extremely bad at more formal language, or just language in general most of the time...

I mostly use ChatGPT to generate names or give ideas for things

[full fossil]

I use it to make my life easier

I see it as a opportunity to help me gain a career. And a guide to life as well

You can ask it investment questions

How to set up for retirement

How to do your taxes

[limber crest]

I like the idea of it, and use it as much as I can, but I don't always remember it's there.

[limber crest]

I genuinely didn't even think of this...

[full fossil]

I’ve asked it car questions

Like what are the best used cars to buy

What to avoid buying

[manic torrent]

So, basically chatGPT is your dad now.

[limber crest]

ChatGPT has helped me more than my Dad has

[full fossil]

My dad doesn’t know how to invest money

[limber crest]

Neither does mine lol

[full fossil]

My dad will always be my dad

I can go to him when I need advice that I know he knows

But chat gpt will help me set up for a solid future

[limber crest]

My dad got me into tech, especially into repairing it. He doesn't really care about repairing things, but he gave me old hard drives to tear apart as a kid, and that got me interested in that

[full fossil]

My dad worked on paint and body work with cars

Thats the majority of the work that I can do

[limber crest]

Cat work?

[full fossil]

Sorry silly brain moment

I saw a cat a minute ago

[limber crest]

Ah

That's pretty sick though

[full fossil]

Louis rossmanns cats to be particularly particular

[limber crest]

I know pretty much nothing about cars lol

[full fossil]

A bunch of learning goes into them

Especially new cars

Older cars are easy to work on all around

They don’t crumple like aluminum cans

And paint sticks alot better

All I have to say

[limber crest]

I just have never owned a car, and I learn better through doing things. I would like to know enough so I can actually do stuff when I get a car and not have to constantly take it to someone.

[full fossil]

Learn how to change a tire first

Then your breaks

Change your oil

Then your radiator fluid

Learn how to bleed your breaks

Just remember to start with simple stuff

Like your air filter intake and move on to harder things

[limber crest]

My sister moved out, so I'm probably gonna have to do some of that stuff eventually

[full fossil]

Just like on a computer

Changing the thermal paste is important

Same with your oil

And other fluids

Just reference your manual to see when changes are needed

[limber crest]

Oh yeah, I need to get some thermal paste before I try to use my computer again ...

[full fossil]

I would say that your breaks are your most important thing on your car

I couldn’t care if my motor blew up

But If I can’t stop then thats a big issue

[limber crest]

We have a van that no longer works, I should just go stuff on that

[plain dome]

an engine is pretty essential

[full fossil]

Go get a junkyard motor and put it inside

[plain dome]

unless its rolling

[limber crest]

A junkyard motor?

[plain dome]

then you will most likely need the brakes

[full fossil]

Yeah but id rather be outside of the car on a flatbed not inside the car on the flatbed

[plain dome]

get a motor from a junkyard

[full fossil]

Ya get what I mean

[full fossil]

What is wrong with the van

[limber crest]

It threw a rod, whatever that means

[full fossil]

If the motor is junked then get a junkyard motor

Get a crashed rear ended van

Or side hit van

Take the motor out and put it in the van

Some junkyards just make you pay the weight of the motor plus a core charge

Just bring them the broken motor back

Just sit down and watch repair videos on it

That’s what I do

[limber crest]

I don't think we have anything like that anywhere close unfortunately

[full fossil]

Shame

You can always order crate motors

But that van isnt worth that

[limber crest]

I don't think I would be able to afford that lol

[full fossil]

Some crate motors aren’t much

i just think of the money at the end and all my woes go away

i know people who take other jobs that pay less but they're apparently more happy with it, good for them but that will never be me

[limber crest]

I no longer work in the area I hated, so work has gotten a lot better for me

[glacial bramble]

any moderators here? a bot that's in this server just sent me a phishing scam

[gilded quest]

you can probably DM a mod about that

[tired glade]

Pin him in chat, to others to block it

[forest wedge]

Is it a problem if I keep the drives power plugged but sata out

And boot the PC, os is in the SSD, different drive

[limber crest]

I don't think that would be an issue, but why would you want to?

[forest wedge]

I need to unmount my storage drive cause Linux is trying to boot from that

[limber crest]

Ah. As long as you don't keep it like that for long, it shouldn't be an issue

[manic torrent]

Honestly I don't care enough, sorry

[hexed rose]

so you dont know ok

[manic torrent]

I could know. But I'd have to extract the router details from you. Also your isp details. Also look up how black ops 3 works.

[deft hatch]

does anyone have a tear down skin from dbrand? the way they position it doesn’t match if i’m looking at my laptop from the front view

[manic torrent]

The most likely answer is you have a cgnat connection and it will never work.

[fluid ridge]

so true

[elfin jetty]

I cant wait to become potato

The hoodie looks so comfy

[patent fog]

For some reason I just read the title of this chat without the l

[gentle plinth]

well, at a point, it needs to be addressed

[meager violet]

My internet sucks, I can't use discord on PC, soon after it works then Reddit is inaccessible

[patent fog]

Yeah, just remove the l

[junior mason]

Your not the only one it seems

Only data working rn

[patent fog]

Lol, I don't have internet. I only have data and hotspot

[meager violet]

Tf is happening rn

I only have so many snacks ;C

[patent fog]

Buy more

[junior mason]

Server issues, probs ;-; some router caught on fire again

[meager violet]

Discord timed out, Roblox timed out, Reddit timed out and so I'd Twitter

[gilded quest]

don't have internet
don't have data and hotspot
wha- what do you think "data and hotspot" are connecting to?

[patent fog]

Ok fair

I meant WAN I guess? Idk

[gleaming harbor]

i think his mobile data is E

[patent fog]

Idk the proper term for not mobile network

[patent fog]

4G LTE

[gilded quest]

[wind pulsar]

Toxic, step on a lego

[junior mason]

VPN should work, I can ssh into my server just fine, and it can ping all those services too, just isp fked up or something, where you from tho? UK here,

[meager violet]

Scotland, and I use virgin media

[limber crest]

Those taste so good

[junior mason]

Virgin media too, well I guess we can conclude, it's virgin media that has messed up

[meager violet]

Damn amateurs

[patent fog]

I do intend to upgrade phones soon, I wonder if the 5G support will even make a difference. I have heard a lot about the fact the 5G infrastructure isn't even there yet

[gilded quest]

@ mod actual violence threats 💀

[junior mason]

Tbh, we've had pretty stable internet lately, first outage in a long while, and it's not a full outage either, just some websites not working

[patent fog]

I've never experienced that kind of outage. It's always been all or nothing for me

[red marten]

as far as im aware (correct me if im wrong) 5g makes most sense in urban areas where they can have a lot of tiny nodes everywhere around the city

in built up ish rural areas i guess that would be the case too, but cities get priority obviously

[patent fog]

Well, I do live in an urban area... so we'll see I guess

[manic torrent]

yes. short range high speed, high density.

[gilded quest]

5G UW (mmWave + mid band) for urban density
5G sub-6GHz for long range rural

[red marten]

ahh didn't know it supported long range communications

[patent fog]

I wonder how many phones even support 6G.. I think like almost all of the midrange/high tier ones do 5G tho.

[manic torrent]

6 is one more than 5!?!?!?!

[red marten]

I don't think any phones outside of labs support 6G yet haha

[patent fog]

No, it's not

It's one less

[thin fjord]

6g is already a thing?

[red marten]

it's being developed. not at all supported afaik

[manic torrent]

it isn't.

one plus one equals 3 .... for sufficiently large values of 1

[red marten]

assuming you mean 5G and not 6G, I have a Samsung A32 that has 5G support. not been anywhere to test it, but supposedly it's there, and it's a fairly cheap phone (not sure how to categorise it because I never really thought abt it lol)

[patent fog]

No I asked cause I thought 6GHz was part of 6G?

[red marten]

no. 6GHz is a frequency

[rancid scaffold]

what would be the max ram speed on the i9 13900KS with 128gb?

[red marten]

5G and (if it existed) 6G are protocols that use certain frequencies

[patent fog]

Yes, I thought the frequency was part of the 6G protocol lol. May bad.

[weary nebula]

how do I chang serial number on msi motherboard?

[patent fog]

Why would you want to change the serial number?

Lol

[gleaming harbor]

he got hwid banned in a game lol

[patent fog]

Games have access to the motherboard serial number?

[light jacinth]

1. Be born rich 2) Buy 100x of your choice in MOBO so when you get hardware banned you just swap them out

[manic torrent]

stop cheating in fortnite

[low rain]

I did the second part but not the first so now I’m in debt

[gleaming harbor]

"A hardware ban or HWID ban on games is a punishment for people who break the rules and are usually caught using cheats or abusing bugs."

[light jacinth]

name checks out

[limber crest]

Move on to step 4

[low rain]

Rob a bank?

[patent fog]

I didn't know those were a thing lol

[weary nebula]

yeah

[limber crest]

Rob 2 banks

[low rain]

Ok

[weary nebula]

I have another motherboard but i' don't know how to update bios so i don't think I can use it

[manic torrent]

PROFIT!

[low rain]

Can u help?

[low rain]

I want the mobo 🙋‍♂️

[weary nebula]

Why tho

[gleaming harbor]

sell the hwid motherboard msrp online
then buy a new one 😈

[manic torrent]

aw, so sad. let me get the worlds smallest violin

[weary nebula]

but im in venezuela so its hard to sell them xd

[gleaming harbor]

oh

[weary nebula]

i tried Dmi edit

but its like not working i can't change serial error 7

[low rain]

Just stop hacking

[gleaming harbor]

stop hacking
my only tip in fps games is to aim in the head

[low rain]

And play the game normally

[weary nebula]

i got everyones accounts banned now

[manic torrent]

awesome

[weary nebula]

becuase i played other accounts in my hwid ban pc

[low rain]

And learn how to control the recoil

[patent fog]

Serial Numbers exist for a reason dude. Lol. They usually the one thing that cannot be changed.

[weary nebula]

i guess i'll just find new games

resetting windows didnt work

[manic torrent]

1: fuck around

now you are at stage 2: find out

[weary nebula]

yeah but now people that didnt know i cheated know i cheated

and are mad because some of them used a lot of money on their accounts too xd

[manic torrent]

yes. suck shit.

[low rain]

You should pay them back.

[manic torrent]

they should be mad, and you should feel bad.

[weary nebula]

they shouldnt even ban hacking because when people are hwid banned they wil just keep doing it because theres nothing to lose

and you can still play 1-2 games per account so its stupid it only affects normal people that never do anything wrong except once

[manic torrent]

wow that's some sound logic

[steep girder]

But you already knew those people as the people who didn't know that you cheated them and knew about it

[low rain]

If they are hwid banned then they can’t js keep doing it because they can’t do it

[weary nebula]

your account doesnt get banned until after 2 games

so u can play 2 games with or without cheat doesnt matter

its so dumb that they even ban people

[limber crest]

I'm all for playing with cheats enabled on Minecraft or using an action replay occasionally, but why cheat in a multiplayer game? What do you gain? Your accomplishment wasn't real.

[manic torrent]

You knew it was bannable when you did it. you knew what you were doing, and you did it anyway.

[steep girder]

So it's actually the other people you cheated who didn't know you at all until they found out about you cheating them

[weary nebula]

well

i guess i'll find new games
