[runic lagoon]

😮‍💨

[low rain]

Instead of getting an aio imma get a 2tb sn770 💪

[runic lagoon]

wow

[gleaming solstice]

I wish there would be new ones with this design

[steep girder]

@manic torrent Ok how do you explain this:

We both solve the same long math problem. You end up getting 1/2 and I end up getting 0/2. As soon as we look at the other's answer, somehow we know that one or both of the answers are wrong.

... also consider if it's even possible in that same scenario for us to be wrong. That would mean both of our answers can be correct as well. This scenario seems crazy... but why?

[low rain]

Even tho I still have 1tb of storage left

[median idol]

If my brother needs a ram upgrade... Yeah might have to buy a new 4x8 kit since he has the 3600 CL16 ballistix RGB kit.

[unkempt imp]

The pc I have right now is an old ass Dell server and I’m in the process of building a new (to me) pc just to use as a Plex server 😂

[pliant karma]

rip still got 2 16gb kits working in my remote pc so they shall be there the remainder of their life with me

[runic lagoon]

their DDR5 ram doesn't even have heat shrouds on them. 🫣

[mild elm]

That’s irrelevant

[manic torrent]

Plenty of problems have multiple answers. what the fuck are you talking about?

[latent plank]

my guy... stahp

[manic torrent]

but I'm going to cut to the chase: I am going to assume your answer is wrong, because you don't know what you're doing.

[runic lagoon]

I should do that, but I keep wanting to do a NAS like qNAP or something.

[forest valve]

Lmg staff lol he's in trouble

[latent plank]

the number of laps you're doing. You a nascar driver?

[manic torrent]

also what is 0/2 - it's just zero. you can put any denominator you like.

[median idol]

I had their ballistix max kit and man those were fun to tune. I was able to get 4000 CL16 on my 5950X with 4x16. I was amazed it even posted at all

[steep girder]

That's just one answer though lmfao. I'm no genius but even I know that in mathematics, you're not really following the actual convo:

If it's multiple answers and happens to be exactly both of ours (1/2 and 0) then we're both wrong!

[unkempt imp]

The one I have now works well enough but I just need something that’s more power efficient

[steep girder]

Because the answer is 1/4 (plus minus symbol) 1/4

[pliant karma]

I was tempted to get it at microcenter when it was cheap for a 16gb kit

[gleaming solstice]

Most fire setup: (not fast but fire ok?) Core 2 duo(or mabey quad?) Q6600 4x OCZ platinum XTC gtx 295 x2 SLI with 500gb HDD this is where hardware was best men!

[runic lagoon]

for 4k?

[manic torrent]

Is it possible you have some sort of brain injury or disability - I'm not joking, it's a genuine question.

[stray apex]

Have you never done like
Quadratics

[unkempt imp]

Nope. My internet isn’t good enough for 4k. Im aiming for 1080 and at least 3 streams simultaneously but it can only do 3 at 720 so gotta get a wee bit better

[runic lagoon]

3 rooms? or just like to watch multiple shows at the same time?

[pliant karma]

Said remote pc that runs ehhh 24/7 in a the hotbox case don’t ask why there are 2 gpus in it I just had a 1050 lying around

[unkempt imp]

One of my coworkers and another friend of mine had access to my Plex library

[pliant karma]

oh and 2 fan headers on that board are dead

[unkempt imp]

Rip

[pliant karma]

could be worse

[steep girder]

Ok give me an example of any math problem with multiple solutions? The only ones you could possibly be talking about are intervals, absolute value operand calculated, etc. Those are all one solution altogether! And they are the only correct solution where everything else is wrong! If you write down only a part of it, it's a different solution and wrong

[runic lagoon]

dang that's cool.

[latent plank]

drop it

[steep girder]

I swear I think you just didn't think about it but you definitely know that 'multiple right solutions' don't exist in the same sense as the two solutions in my example. Ok sorry I'll stop now.

[steep girder]

I have friends on Steam. Most of them are some of the closest and oldest friends I have... I legit haven't talked to them on Steam or joined a game once in the last 5 years at least but that's just a conservative guess. The very reason I'm invisible: I want them to think that I hadn't logged in for years as opposed to online a lot and playing like GMod 15 years later all evening for some reason

[spiral summit]

Are you flexing?

[steep girder]

So honestly, it kind of makes sense that internet games are usually 100% random players and we're fine with it. Real friends you never want to bump into online and decide to play something lol

[full fossil]

i'm still rocking like a 12 year old MBP

[steep girder]

I'd imagine that most people who play games together close irl do so because they decided at some point in person. This means that you still talk in person lmfao. I think Steam is just in my case lots of old friends with whom I hadn't talked like since a few years after high school.

[worldly crow]

Ok, that's fair

[steep girder]

I mean isn't that just the universal apple way of saying running their programs on any other hardware?

[limber crest]

Free with purchase of an Apple computer

[full fossil]

Took ages to install the actual OS with the recovery cd

And some custom firmware hackery

[steep girder]

Honestly, this happens and mature people can generally tell if somebody's not crazy at the least. If it turns out that the person is genuine and has no reason to lie to you like you think, you can do the entire getting acquainted portion online. That's not a problem if the other person isn't a troll or worse maniac with some other motives

But Roblox lmao. That's the last place I'd expect to meet somebody who is old enough to go on vacation without parents let alone decent enough to meet in person

[spiral summit]

Roblox isn't bad, it's just made for kids, which are bad

[halcyon lagoon]

oh god Roblox is here. i need to leave

[full fossil]

we were young but now we are all old

[steep girder]

Honestly though I hate games which I'd really love to play still but the vast majority of player base is too young to even relate to lmfao

[full fossil]

we were like 14-15 in the beginning when we weren't even using vc

now we're all 16+

I prefer older open world story games lol

[full fossil]

it was a community for pvp and the game devs and mods were in it

[steep girder]

Reason I don't like to mic chat in some games anymore. No matter what, it's so weird to be in 20s and talk to potentially not even 12 year old. Before online games, that literally never happened lmfao... unless it's like parents or teacher lol.

-Kid: Hey help me set up that soldier on top lego block
-Random old dude: sure no probs. Which direction you want him to cover

[full fossil]

games like jailbreak are just kindergarten or a zoo

but mad city is way different community base

[low rain]

Jailbreak=goated

[covert urchin]

I completely agree XD

[steep girder]

But a lot of times, the <=12 year old is actually playing properly or even better than I am lmfao. So you have instances where a game requires mic communication and technically it's irregular to not resopnd...

[full fossil]

we were like 15 people in the vc joining 1 game server to destroy toxic people

[low rain]

One time I was playing Roblox and it was a voice chat game and sum people convinced a little kid to call his dad the n word and the little kid got in trouble and I js heard it in the background

[full fossil]

and it was very funny because it's vc

[steep girder]

But 12 year old saying coherent stuff about strategy that's better than mine lmfao. It just adds to the weirdness for some reason lol

[steep girder]

Well yeah but back in the early days, 12 year olds always sucked compared to adults. And they would always be toxic. The adults, on the other hand were also toxic and like swore at the kid telling him to leave lmfao

[full fossil]

it is weird

i imagine if u dont say anything the whole time and then u respond they will jump off their chair 😂

[full fossil]

we know a 23 year old youtuber and he's trash at pvp and we are all young and we always stream snipe him and make him mad

[steep girder]

In the end, the kid gets kicked but tbh 12 year old kid playing counter-strike isn't allowed in many places.

I played with neither my parents permission or enough years elapsed since birth. Ultimately, A bunch of adults acting very inappropriately around my 12 year old arse abused me a little but then kicked me off... which was the right thing to do lmfao

[low rain]

Wtf is eco mode on my psu????

[full fossil]

our entire group is based on pvp and the mad city devs always tried to nerf all weapons to make us bad in pvp but we never gave up and we made 4 devs quit the mad city community because no one could beat us in the pvp

[steep girder]

It draws less power from the wall compared to if it didn't have eco mode

[full fossil]

goes under 80% when not used

[low rain]

Should I turn it on?

[full fossil]

is it a gaming pc

[low rain]

I js realized there was a switch for that

[runic lagoon]

it's no fan mode, cool enough to not need a fan.

[royal sail]

Can anybody help me come up with a unique 1 word username?

[low rain]

Yeah

[full fossil]

don't

[low rain]

Alr

[full fossil]

it causes performance loss and psu overload

[tardy terrace]

Evenin'

[runic lagoon]

That's one of the reasons people like Corsair for SF power supplies.

[low rain]

I got an evga psu

[worldly crow]

Alex

[steep girder]

I mean idk. Unless you run your PC all the time and you want to cut down how much money that costs you. Right away, I can tell you that probably not much lmfao. If you run cinebench and gpu max load 24/7, no eco mode is going to make a noticeable diff

[tardy terrace]

eco mode is for more less-demanding performance power savings

basically just windows power saver, parks idle cores

[dull granite]

elon musk is basically censoring twitter lmao

[tardy terrace]

it also drops frequency & probably a few other things

[dull granite]

marks words he don't like as "inappropriate" and un-embeds them and puts a content warning

[steep girder]

Well makes sense but less performance is out of PSU hands. At the end of the day, all it can do is the most efficient draw for whatever it needs to power everything.

[runic lagoon]

there was a reddit post about LGBTQIA+ getting censored. 😐

[tardy terrace]

That fucknugget got bored of building rockets and now he just wants to be right online since Grimes dumped him.

[dull granite]

yea, it's very dumb
how about censor "straight" next time

[steep girder]

That would be less perf. Or just turn down power target in gpu software. Tbh a lot of them have eco mode button lmfao

[thorny axle]

Efficiency depends on a lot of things, the PSU is only one part

[tardy terrace]

wait what eco mode are we talkign about, psu?

[dull granite]

a lot of things have eco mode

[tardy terrace]

psu eco mode is literally just a fan switch

[low rain]

yeah psu

[steep girder]

If you want to save power for some reason, use less of it for CPU and GPU. Undervolt and underclock them. This should be the best way possible

[full fossil]

Tf is this product name lol X= XRGB27WQ

Also who tf is X= and why are their monitors so cheap?

[runic lagoon]

well, on a temp sensor, but yah.

[thorny axle]

just find the optimal point of the efficient curve. Very easy task

Probably pretty easy for the PSU, less so for everything else

[steep girder]

Yeah but still lol. I mean the optimal draw for how well you compensate power

[low rain]

#off-topic

[steep girder]

It's the amount you need to make hardware either live longest or perform the best

Why the fuck are little baby’s awake at 12am

[steep girder]

I mean there's an explanation for it depending on which longitude they're at

[full fossil]

Because they are the devil

[steep girder]

Unless you mean local time always. In that case, those babies are awake because they haven't been put to bed yet

[tardy terrace]

Infants are limbed, screaming potatoes.

I have AirPods but I left them at my uncles house when I went to cali with my brother

AirPods I mean sure but they damage hearing more and have not the best sound

[golden talon]

the airpods pro 2nd generation sound great

the other airpods sound mid to bad

[lucid echo]

love this app

[low rain]

For now imma have to use a pair of jbl tune 130NC tws

[steep girder]

Plus the new feature of digital wireless connection: it adds latency and now you have yet again more EM but this time right at both temples lmfao

[low rain]

And when I go to cali again I’ll have AirPods and jbls

[steep girder]

On the other hand, giant headphones have nice magnets. Idk

Do airpods even work with anything other than apple devices lol

[low rain]

Yeah they do

But giant headphones for a phone<<<<<

[steep girder]

And it doesn't become crappy?

[golden talon]

i use my G435s when im at my desktop and airpods pro 2nd gens for everywhere else

the wireless life is so nice

[low rain]

It was crappy asf on my laptop idk if it’s crappy on other things tho

[steep girder]

I remember Samsung beans first came out they had some nice delay on everything. Only some newest samsung phones you could enroll into beta program for smart things and enable Gamer Mode (tm)

[low rain]

For my desktop I use my Hyperx cloud II

[steep girder]

Then your delay actually became tolerable even for watching videos not just gaming lmfao

[low rain]

for my phone nothing right now

[steep girder]

Every other device pretty sure sorry. No gamer mode therefore 100ms sound less than meter away lmfao

[lucid echo]

wireless + anc is a delight when exploring around the city

[low rain]

So my school uses prometheans and my algebra teachers prometheans sound quality is actually so shit

And I have her for advisory so whenever we have those videos ab college it’s js like super loud and weird

[lucid echo]

yeah volume was a great add, great when the phone is stuffed away in my bag

[golden talon]

the only complaint i really have about the 2nd gens vs the 1st gens is the vent placement

[lucid echo]

ah yeah i haven’t been bothered by it personally

[golden talon]

when i take them out of the charging case i have to make sure not to touch the vent cuz im ocd and dont want them to get dirty

[lucid echo]

Well, exceptions being ANC

But not sure that counts

[full fossil]

2005 earbuds vs airpods pro massive diff

ur trippin

regular airpods are okay but the lack of a seal makes the sound worse

[patent fog]

So I've been told.

To me, if it's a massive difference to you, then get the airpods. By all means 🙂

To me, I'm just trying to have fun lol. And trying to get the best ANC without dropping a fortune.

I have an irrational fear of dogs because I was chased by one as a child. How can I overcome this? I've tried a few times now but panic overcomes me and I run away

[queen pond]

A therapist can help best but you could use CBT to reduce or replace the connection in your mind between dog and fear with something else. Not all fear of dogs is irrational, though. Even tiny dogs can be vicious.

[summer folio]

CB what Torture? 😳

[queen pond]

When in doubt, CBT solves all problems.

[wind pulsar]

One of the things you can certainly try is talking to someone you know has a calm and/or relaxed dog.
Obviously, approaching something you fear is gonna take time, so approaching a dog that's energetic isn't gonna do you any favors.

You can always try to brute force it and be surprised how much dogs don't want to kill you, but that's a bit.. xD

airpods pro are best in class for all around features, other buds can target one feature and do it better but they lack in all other areas

my sony wf1000xm3s were great for sound quality, easily beats the airpods pro 2nd gen but airpods pro fit better, stay in better, have better transparency, top 2 in noise cancelling, and have a small case

The CPU is worth €80 and the GPU €300 at best

[naive pike]

im going to buy a new pc and idk what to choose

[patent fog]

Where does it say you can't ping mods? Just don't ping them directly, do it via <@&750150305383186585>. Or you can DM the moderation bot, @hallow flume

Oops

[rough socket]

I wasn't able to do so

[sly parcel]

Doing @mod should work

[patent fog]

Sorry

I didn't actually mean to ping them, that's why I avoided putting any numbers

Apparently it pings them anyways.

[sly parcel]

Now they know about it hopefully

[full fossil]

Last server I did a @ mod ping in I got a perma ban for it

[sly parcel]

Now go watch wolfgang about why he bought a macbook

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

I already have lol

[sly parcel]

Oh

[craggy oyster]

Can it run Marathon

[hearty spear]

don't ping mods for pointless reasons, and it's fine.

Mods here get regularly pinged to deal with issues

[pliant karma]

screenshot message+copy their id number and send it to a mod PM. That works instead of posting it in public chat

[rough socket]

yeah ok

[rough socket]

I played marathon like 2 months ago

[hearty spear]

Reasons you shouldn't use to ping mods:
Questions about talking to LTT Staff
Asking about parts for your build
Because you're bored and wanna brown nose

Reasons you SHOULD ping mods:
Someone from the discord is harassing you / other people (Yes, even in DMs)
People are being disruptive / breaking rules
You have an honest question about the Discord that isn't covered in the rules

[wind pulsar]

Keep in mind that when I do it, suddenly it's unnecessary and dumb

[full fossil]

Oh over there it wasn’t pointless
It was because people were posting uhh deceased animals

[craggy oyster]

What does brown nose mean

[hearty spear]

Well, you seem to attract dumbasses, somehow

[hearty spear]

ass kissing
sucking up

[craggy oyster]

oh

[full fossil]

“Head so far up someone else’s ass your nose is brown”

[sonic barn]

just run win 11 on it

I only use my laptop for school otherwise its just a remote pc into my desktop

[full fossil]

Win11 is shit and I'm bored of gentoo

[sonic barn]

you know its getting the bing ai integration in the next updates

[full fossil]

The first thing I've done is turn Mac OS into a tiling window manager

[sonic barn]

soon you'll probably be able to automate everything through the ai

[full fossil]

I don't want some crappy bing ai lol. I got chatgpt. Bing ai is fine but I prefer chatgpt

It’s the same thing

“Bing AI” is chatgpt 4

I know but bing has acess to the Internet

[low rain]

ewww windows 11

[full fossil]

So does chatgpt 4… that’s the entire point

[sonic barn]

it can search the internet and is gpt 4

idk why you are saying its crappy

[full fossil]

If we’re being totally transparent it’s chatgpt 4 with microsoft ads

[sonic barn]

its a custom gpt 4 model not chatgpt 4 or gpt 4

[low rain]

I’m never gonna upgrade to windows 11 until I literally have to

[sonic barn]

windows 12 is 2025

[full fossil]

…why
11 is just 10, they’re not that different

[sonic barn]

it makes your life easier, linux is just wasting time

[low rain]

I’m using windows 10 rn

[full fossil]

Have you even tried 11

[low rain]

Yeah so what’s the point, why upgrade?

[low rain]

Yes I have on my laptop and it didn’t let me play valorant so then I went back to 10

[sonic barn]

I used to use kde neon and stuff can break when you upgrade, also releases and broken keyrings was very common for me and all I was using it was for developing stuff. QT Creator was broken and required a ton of troubleshooting because it lacked dependencies and wasn't clear, It lacked a ton of libraries in that case

despite installing qt creator

[full fossil]

What

[low rain]

I upgraded to windows 11 on my laptop to test it out and then I couldn’t play valorant on win11 so I ended up putting it back onto win10

[sonic barn]

I used it since the insider previews and its gotten way better than 10 now

[full fossil]

You didn’t do a fresh install?????

[full fossil]

Yea the insider preview completely broke some stuff for me
But it’s much, much better now

Like I couldn’t scroll there for a week or so

[sonic barn]

I manually fixed a ton of registries since win11 insider from 10 disabled the check for the tpm thing

[low rain]

I just upgraded cause when I turned on my laptop it was like “wanna upgrade to win11”

[tired glade]

Oh, it's works

[sonic barn]

I just want them to add widgets to the desktop

[full fossil]

Vista would like to know your location

[sonic barn]

can he fix it?

[tired glade]

Wait and hoping for 12 and new core

[low rain]

But yeah if it isn’t even that different than why upgrade?

[low rain]

Yes but I ain’t doin allat

[full fossil]

No one said you must/should
We were just refuting your blanket statement that “it’s shit”

[low rain]

I mean it’s shit if u upgrade because it won’t let u play val

Also I hate how it looks tbh

[gleaming solstice]

Bro i hate that windows is tryin to make themselves like mac bro if i want fckin mac then i will get it bro

Windows 10 is fine why do they need to change it

[full fossil]

It looks exactly the same dawg

[sonic barn]

it allows you to customize it, however we need qt to use dark theme. A ton of windows stuff is built in that and its so out of date

[patent fog]

I wouldn't recommend DMing a mod directly. You can DM warship for it

[sonic barn]

its white theme instead of switching to dark theme to match the desktop. VLC hurts my eyes

[tired glade]

There is always an alternative

[manic torrent]

ok, so you don't know what you're talking about. roger.

[low rain]

I hate how the windows button is in the middle it just looks so weird

[gleaming solstice]

Bro i blocked warship i didnt know who tis was XD

[sonic barn]

you can move it to the side

[polar fern]

👀

[tired glade]

Nice

[gleaming solstice]

Yes and my alternative is windows 10 bro

[low rain]

I ain’t doin allat

[pliant karma]

ehhhh I still dm them. They're chill with me so it not an issue. Just takes time for a response which is ok

[tired glade]

I was about Linux

[patent fog]

Tis the automod here

[polar fern]

Oops forgot

[sonic barn]

linux is a waste of time

[tired glade]

Is it?

[sonic barn]

as a de yes

[tired glade]

Oh, you get one

[sonic barn]

you'll be spending 10x longer maintaining and installing everything

[low rain]

I have Linux on my old shitty pc

[pliant karma]

how's the black shaft screwdriver holding up?

[sonic barn]

for the same thing that can be done in 3 minutes on windows

[tired glade]

Like?

[low rain]

It’s not that hard to install sum 💀💀💀

[sonic barn]

that qt creator installer for example

[gleaming solstice]

I feel like linux is not good. (Ppl always perfer what they are used to.) And tbh i dont really know how to use linux

[low rain]

I js have an ifixit kit

[tired glade]

What's that?

[tired glade]

There is Linux for that

[sonic barn]

integrated development environment (ide) for creating apps and programs

its like visual studio but all qt tools

[tired glade]

Oh, creator apps

[pliant karma]

they're handy I had the Pro Tech Tool Kit for my first set then expanded on with the moray and other screws.

[polar fern]

Oh man, I forgot the other thing

[gleaming solstice]

Huh i just said i dont rly know how to use linux and ur like "theres linux for that" XD wut

[sonic barn]

its more *open sourced

[tired glade]

If you use them

[manic torrent]

everyone knows the best OS is BeOS

[sonic barn]

I do when I work with c++

[tired glade]

Freebsd 4 ever

[sonic barn]

even non qt stuff its good with

[gleaming solstice]

I love win 10 why do they need to change it

[low rain]

I just steal my dads stuff when I build things 💪

[full fossil]

“Change bad”

[manic torrent]

things change, get over it.

[full fossil]

People complained when XP died, and 7

[gleaming solstice]

🤝

[tired glade]

Don't give them bases

[gleaming solstice]

Why do they need to change it if its not needed

[tired glade]

You can skip 11, anyway

[polar fern]

Okay now, I am ready.

[tired glade]

Oh, no

[full fossil]

Install Linux

[covert urchin]

People will complain when anything changes lmao

[polar fern]

almost forgot the thermal paste

[gleaming solstice]

"never change a running system"

[tired glade]

I hadn't touched windows in 3 years

[full fossil]

Are you gonna de-lid it?

[polar fern]

Noo

[low rain]

Don’t forget your IO shield when ur building

[full fossil]

Get rid of your car then
Go back to walking

[full fossil]

Damn :(

[pliant karma]

it's just a cpu swap for them

[full fossil]

It works, so why change anything

[tired glade]

Wait, isn't other way around ?

[low rain]

Ohh Alr

[polar fern]

It’s a small form factor enterprise computer it doesn’t have a separate ioshield

[gleaming solstice]

Nah if i have a car then i dont need to change bro thats the point

[gleaming solstice]

As long as it works.

[full fossil]

The point went into orbit over your head dawg

[covert urchin]

Seriously

[neon mesa]

Windows 10 is 8 years old at this point
Change is due

That's as long as XP to 7

[gleaming solstice]

Bro look if ur fine with it then ok get urself 10 but i m fine with it

[tired glade]

11 isn't that good

[full fossil]

Change for the sake of it is bad
But change will always happen. Either adapt with it or get left behind

[tired glade]

Like 8, it skiable

[full fossil]

We don’t talk about 8.0

[covert urchin]

Thats cool! If you dont want to change, dont change. If you do, cool.

[sonic barn]

You could use windows 10 until windows 12 comes out

[manic torrent]

it isn't though. Realistically windows 11 is 10 SP1 or like 10.1 or whatever

[tired glade]

Plus, I don't think,they will retrofit ai stuff in 11 when 11 release

[gleaming solstice]

I will prob i rly hope it is good.

[polar fern]

Smol fan

[manic torrent]

no, it will also be different, and you will bitch and moan

[full fossil]

Why though? 10 works so why change it

[sonic barn]

It'll be partially integrated

[tired glade]

Clean

Apple when they update MacOS: 😍

Microsoft releasing the next version of windows after 5 years: 😡🤬😠👿🔥🔥

[neon mesa]

Basically every OS release ever.
Win 10 2015 was almost like a 7 reskin too
Just let it cook

[gleaming solstice]

I know it will be different but i hope it will be in a good way

[full fossil]

Apple shills absolutely drooling over a minor update

[tired glade]

Latest leak say - will have new core,but we will see how bad is 12 on release

[full fossil]

It’ll be bad, like every major OS at release

[polar fern]

👀

[full fossil]

Oh??? On cod???

[sonic barn]

Patch notes - made text slightly bolder.

Every reviewer in existence - best update to come to macos

[low rain]

It would be funny if windows 12 was made by ai

[tired glade]

Lol, is that intel stock cooler?

Idk but it looks cool

[chrome sentinel]

hey guys , has anyone tried out green soul office chair? how are they? they are prolly only ones that fit in my budget

They made apple cult, after all, Windows cult kinda died

Meh windows is a tool and people know it
Apple acts like MacOS is god’d gift to code

I found an option on my Samsung phone to record hdr10+ video, but only at 1080p 30fps. Is going from 4k 60 to 1080p 30 for hdr10 worth the tradeoff?

[sonic barn]

Linux has a cult following from what I've seen here

[pliant karma]

is it a regular am4 mount by chance?

[tired glade]

Bless it

[pliant karma]

or lenovo's proprietary bullshit

[tired glade]

Which one?

[sonic barn]

Arch

[tired glade]

Yea, burn those heretics

[gleaming solstice]

I like windows more then macos but i gotta say macos looks beautiful and so do theyre products but i still like win more

[sonic barn]

At the end of the day it's tailored to one's preferences.

[full fossil]

Give me an m2 macbook air with windows you cowards

[gleaming solstice]

True

[thorny axle]

Parallels 18

[sonic barn]

I value efficiency over the looks

[gleaming solstice]

Still true

[devout needle]

Nevermind, I can put hdr10 at 4k30

[thorny axle]

I suppose from an objective standpoint, MacOS is way more efficient, but windows has support for a lot of software that would require a VM to run on MacOS

[gleaming solstice]

✨Hackintosh✨

[full fossil]

Isn’t parallels no longer supported due to ARM

[sonic barn]

Depends on the release. The enterprise ones aren't bloated, same with edu

[thorny axle]

It is, and tbh it’s better than ever

[full fossil]

Good to know

[thorny axle]

They partnered with windows, idk when

[gleaming solstice]

Is macos efficient? (I have no clue juz askin)

[thorny axle]

It is, yeah

[gleaming solstice]

Oh question answered

[gentle slate]

I use arch btw.

Best distro most goated most useful.

[gleaming solstice]

Bro i asked for sum 1 else to confirm XD

[sonic barn]

Probably, after all it's Unix and they had a MacBook air 2014-2018 with the same 4th gen cpu

[pliant karma]

reminds me I have a 11 enterprise iso and key somewhere. Nice perks when he gets from his college in Netherlands which I end up using.

[full fossil]

Look ngl, if I needed battery life above all else, I’d buy a macbook in a heartbeat
But all I do is game and take code classes

[gleaming solstice]

I does steam exist for linux? And can i play every game

[full fossil]

Steamdeck

[gentle slate]

Steam does exist for Linux. Steam deck is basically arch.

[gleaming solstice]

Bro i have a laptop but tbh if i could oc my laptop so hard so it will only run 1sec on battery i would.

[thorny axle]

MacOS just doesn’t have as many background tasks. You can look up a comparison between the two if you want an actual confirmation

[tired glade]

Steam fully supported on popular distros

[wispy marsh]

Steam on iOS?

[tired glade]

On Mac

[wispy marsh]

Over Apple's cold, dead lawsuit against the EU

[gleaming solstice]

Oh jeah i forgot but why cant i have it for android (android is linux right?)

[gentle slate]

Pretty sure a steam app exists

[tired glade]

Had apple murge all os's yet?

[full fossil]

[gleaming solstice]

For pc games on smartphone?

[tired glade]

Nice

[full fossil]

Android is a variant of linux, yea

[gentle slate]

No

[tired glade]

iOs is also version of unix based operating system

[full fossil]

Technically but it's now so far away from the Linux kernel you might aswell consider it no Linux

[gleaming solstice]

So can i download steam and play cyberpunk 2077 raytracing ultra 8k HDR on my phone?

[tired glade]

Until it's windows

[gleaming solstice]

[thorny axle]

Windows is the opposite of Linux

[tired glade]

Steam Deck or wait for for the ROG Ally

[tired glade]

The not much happening in tech sphere lately and 7800x3d is tomorrow

So don't wait?

[cosmic ore]

No date, price, or specs
It’s gonna be a while

[tired glade]

Do you travel a lot?

And Asus still can cancel it

[spare quarry]

@tired glade I do a bit for work.

[tired glade]

Steam deck than

[full fossil]

My only real issue with the steamdeck is that screen
After using a switch lite for a few years, a decent screen is a must lmao

[spare quarry]

Does anyone have one on here? IF so what are your thoughts?

[tired glade]

I will wait for the second gen

[full fossil]

Same

[tired glade]

Phone good enough and laptop cover everything else

[spare quarry]

I think the steam deck looks a bit on the chungus side.

[tired glade]

It is

And it's first gen product

[spare quarry]

@tired glade I have a M1 Pro Macbook pro. It can game pretty well but I want something with better compatibility.

[sonic barn]

I could've gotten one last week with the csgo sticker market... However, I decided against it since the concept doesn't match my needs/wants

if it was like the gpd win or pocket, I would've gotten it

always wanted one of those

[tired glade]

And screen not great for gaming too, steam deck will fix that problems

[spare quarry]

@tired glade The screen isn't to bad for gaming. Obviously it's not like gaming on my 240hz Predator but its better than a gameboy.

[thorny axle]

If you want to game, stay away from MacBooks, lol

[tired glade]

Had you noticed ghosting?

[gleaming solstice]

ye

[spare quarry]

@tired glade Honestly no. its been pretty solid. but I haven't tried to play anything to hard on it.

@thorny axle Hey my macbook can run candy crush like a champ.

[ebon dagger]

Hello,

i have issues with my graphic drivers.

I have a New graphics card (Rx 5500 xt)

And every time I use the adrenalin driver stuff I get error code 195 - can't reach amd servers. I can't find the direct drivers for download. The and blog knows this issue and says click here to download the drivers manually but that link only links to the adrenalin download page.

Its a windows 10 PC.

I have also tryed to click only install drivers in adrenaline but that changed nothing.

It sucks. Pls help

[gleaming solstice]

I have one question for you all if you could bring one fallen GPU brand back what would it be?

[spare quarry]

Intel

[thorny axle]

lol

[gleaming solstice]

put it in techsupport

[tired glade]

Intel can make good GPUs, but it's intel

[thorny axle]

That meant a very different thing 5 years ago

[full fossil]

did you allow it to pass through the pc's firewall

[spare quarry]

@tired glade RIp my hopes in Intel

[tired glade]

They will make it and will make 20 versions of it to flood the market

[full fossil]

they make good cooler designs I'll give them that

might be one of my favorite designs behind the radeon 7

[thorny axle]

wdym

[full fossil]

Good, competition is good.

[gleaming solstice]

bro u need to keep in mind that intel needed to make everything from scratch and i think its normal that the first attempt is hard (if u look at the new drivers u see how nuch better they got

[tired glade]

They will play dirty,if they won't dominate market

[spare quarry]

So I'm also thinking about upgrading my current rig. I have an RTX 3070 but the 8 gigs of vram have started becoming a problem. Do you guys think I should go AMD or keep suckling at the tit of nvida?

[full fossil]

I think you should wait

[tired glade]

If it competition and just not buying game makers to make games for Intel GPUs

[full fossil]

GPU market right now is some genuine dogshit

[thorny axle]

I am a supporter of Intel

[gleaming solstice]

bro i have lit a HD7950 and ur complaining abt 8GB Vram bro XD i feel useless

[full fossil]

Is there a mod in chat I could speak with in DMs

[spare quarry]

@full fossil I dont mind going onto the used market. I'm open to 30 series or whatever the last gen was called for AMD.

[full fossil]

the 8gb sorta limits the potential of the 3070

[tired glade]

6000 series is ways cheap than 30-series

[spare quarry]

@full fossil Absolutely. It's super annoying.

[pliant karma]

Lol especially for me after I load in my mods/addons for MSFS2020 I’m still adding mods but I’m close to that 8gb at 7.5/6

[gleaming solstice]

is it possible to crossfire a HD7950 (founders) with a R9 280X from Saphire? (yes and i know every one will tryna kill me for crossfire in 2023)

[pliant karma]

Also I’m gpu limited in the sim so that’s great. I’ve got the cpu side sorted out

[thorny axle]

That’s why it’s not a 3080

[gleaming solstice]

pls answer

[thorny axle]

No clue

[pliant karma]

That idk since different drivers.

[wind pulsar]

Yes you can, but pointless

[pliant karma]

Was able to run a 1050/2060 on one of my systems without issue but I’m just screwing around with it

[lucid echo]

No, you cannot. They use different interfaces for running CF

[wind pulsar]

Huh, they should be though, they both run the same GCN

[gleaming solstice]

oh yeah baby (will a 350W power supply hold that?) (i have a core 2 quad Q8400)

[wind pulsar]

No

[gleaming solstice]

oh

[wind pulsar]

Your PSU couldn't run it anyway

[gleaming solstice]

double oh

bro my setup 🔥

[lucid echo]

Post-7950 the protocol changed for CF, and they no longer used the little ribbon cable to connect them

[wind pulsar]

Ew

[gleaming solstice]

a HD7950 core 2 quad Q8400 4gb ram 🔥

[meager violet]

I wish you could just wear a tinfoil hat and wire it up with a battery to make wifi, Virgin Media has died again

[gleaming solstice]

wait how can my system run with a HD 7950 (+/-250W) and the Q8400 (+/-110W) on a 350W power supply

[full fossil]

undervolt the hell out of it

[gleaming solstice]

(i overclocked it)

[gleaming solstice]

why it works fine

i think i have the most crappy setup

its even worse then linus his old one

[polar fern]

Well… it doesn’t boot

🤔

[gleaming solstice]

what doesnt boot

[polar fern]

My Lenovo

[gleaming solstice]

oh

[gleaming solstice]

jeah but at least u dont have those crappy rgb fans

[polar fern]

No io power, no display.

[jaunty compass]

I am now at the airport

i'm charging my deck to full before the flight

[polar fern]

There was a chance this wouldn’t work, but hmm

Oh well.

[gleaming solstice]

i builded my pc for free

so i think its good

[polar fern]

It’s an AMD 560 pro chipset…

[jaunty compass]

A free PC technically has infinite price to performance

[gleaming solstice]

XD

but we should not talk abt how legal it is

[thorny axle]

1/0

Perhaps it’s a negative infinity

Those I suppose you approach from the right, so it should be positive infinity

[gleaming solstice]

bro dont start this again

[gleaming solstice]

i just gotta mention i didnt steal it. or maby i did

but its not as you think it is

[polar fern]

Infinity is not a real thing, as the universe is not infinite

[gleaming solstice]

how do you know

[polar fern]

Because math.

[gleaming solstice]

maby it is

[polar fern]

Nope.

[gleaming solstice]

then proof it

[thorny axle]

lim** __ C __
X->0+ **X
Where C is a positive constant

[polar fern]

So I guess I have to put the old processor back in there. 😔

[flint copper]

Is that Google Forms link on LTT Twitter legit? I don't see it in any other social media channels, not even here

[gleaming solstice]

no matter what a good proof u have there is always a (mabey weird) way how it could be proofen to be false

[rugged rapids]

0

[thorny axle]

Incorrect

[rugged rapids]

Prove it

[thorny axle]

0! = 1

[thorny axle]

1/0 =/= 0

[rugged rapids]

Yeah but have u heard of L’Hopital

[thorny axle]

Try cross multiplying and you get 1 = 0

[gleaming solstice]

i dont rly know what this means but i think i know what you mean. i was learning over 1 year abt this shit bec i was curious but i kinda like gave it up

[jaunty compass]

dividing by zero is not allowed because if it were, it does very very weird things

[thorny axle]

Only works for indeterminate forms, which 1/0 is not

[jaunty compass]

weird things happen when you allow dividing by zero 💀

[thorny axle]

Until you get to calculus

[gleaming solstice]

oh ur talkin abt the universe is infinite?

[full fossil]

just use imaginary numbers

[thorny axle]

Then half the stuff you do involves dividing by 0

[rugged rapids]

:o

[thorny axle]

Basically, the thing on the left is saying “as X approaches 0 from positive numbers”

So you can kind of think about making X really really small and positive, and obviously the fraction gets bigger

So as it approaches 0, the fraction approaches positive infinity

[gleaming solstice]

if you can take any number no matter how small it is times infinite then 1.111 (period) should be infinity? bec 1.1periodic is infinite long? but at the same time it isnt

[jaunty compass]

my day be so fine
then supertasks

[wind pulsar]

@hearty spear https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Wc7Q2UJ3WtE
Pretty cool stuff

[gleaming solstice]

i mean it isnt infinite but why? i know it gets smaller and smaller bur bro

[thorny axle]

Wdym

I’m used to period meaning decimal, do you mean it the other way? I know some countries do that

[hearty spear]

That stuff is SO cool

[hearty spear]

no, you're confusing infinity and irrational

[thorny axle]

You can try using cross multiplication to prove it. Assume the limit is some other number, let’s say K, if you cross multiply, you get C = XK, which in the limit is saying C = 0•K

[jaunty compass]

the big problem is that we put rebar in concrete, roman concrete would degrade rebar and without it we would be severely limited on what we could build with it

so don't expect it to be the big new thing, sorry

[strong knoll]

i found a PCIE mini card slot next to the wifi card in my old laptop
what is it for

[hearty spear]

1.1111111 repeating is irrational, not infinite.
But it does approach a limit.

[hearty spear]

probably a Wireless WAN card

[jaunty compass]

wifi
the answer is just a wifi/bluetooth card

nothing interesting, sorry

[strong knoll]

so i can put two wifi cards?

[gleaming solstice]

im usually good at math (7 class) but i gotta tell ya one thing i dont know what ur saying in english

[hearty spear]

NEXT TO the WIFI card

[thorny axle]

Some countries write a million as 1.000.000

[gleaming solstice]

i mean ur using way different words then me

[jaunty compass]

mini pcie is only ever really used for wifi/bluetooth cards and for LTE/4g data cards

[gleaming solstice]

we do

[thorny axle]

Ah, so

[strong knoll]

WAN card? Wifi card? or for like eSIM

[hearty spear]

yes, and two wifi cards doesn't really serve any purpose

[gleaming solstice]

(switzerland)

[hearty spear]

cell data. so you can talk to phone towers

[jaunty compass]

which is why one is empty by default

[thorny axle]

The way to prove that that limit of C/0 is infinity is by trying to set it to some normal number and cross multiply

[hearty spear]

you're not.

[full fossil]

[thorny axle]

Say you try to guess it’s 7, then cross multiply and you get C = 7•0

[strong knoll]

dang
why does this not exist in my main laptop

[thorny axle]

But our thing said C was a positive constant, like 4, not 0

[hearty spear]

because it's slow and expensive to pay for the monthly connection

[gleaming solstice]

still no clue can you try using stuff like +-% idk yous write it that way

[strong knoll]

for its very reliable for portability and travel

now i just use mobile hotspot

[hearty spear]

yes, but honestly, how often are you in desperate need of a data service for your laptop outside of WiFi?

[wind pulsar]

Ikr? Sadly we won't really be able to apply that to houses though

[jaunty compass]

I've never seen a laptop come with one, but I do own one of those cards

[thorny axle]

Limits are kind of a new function for you, but they’ll be just as important as everything else

[strong knoll]

hotel
hotel wifi is slower than cell data

[hearty spear]

hotels have wifi

[strong knoll]

hotel got like 3 MBPS and cell got 15

[gleaming solstice]

wdym

[hearty spear]

if you're in a hotel where that's the case, cell data is usually slow as hell, too, cuz it's loaded with people

[hearty spear]

but how often are you in this situation?
Is it worth 40-60$ a month for the "convenience" ?

[jaunty compass]

The English patch made the mistake this is so sad

The English patch for tales of innocence R called him ruca and not Luca
They fell for the R/L problem

[strong knoll]

its not 40 to 60$
its like 10 gb for 20$ for 5 days

[hearty spear]

for a dedicated cell line for a device like a laptop, it is more

[jaunty compass]

Wait no his name is actually just ruca for some reason
Weird
I remember it not being that but maybe the translation for the DS version is just bad

[strong knoll]

idk i never used eSIM

[gleaming solstice]

can you explain to me what you mean in a calculation with like + instead of plus and stuff

[hearty spear]

(Also for occasional use: Phone Hotspot data is way cheaper)

[full fossil]

unless you live in the usa

[hearty spear]

even in the USA it's cheaper for occasional use.

[strong knoll]

its 20$ for like 10 gb for 5 days
that is 2000 taka

[full fossil]

t-mobile is 3GB of hotspot at 3G speeds on the unlimited plan

[hearty spear]

I Get a few GB Hotspot every month included, and I can get more for a few bucks per GB.

[hearty spear]

And you're arguing two entirely different things

[strong knoll]

can't i do more with that PCIE mini card slot

[full fossil]

also why do you need such fast internet in the hotel...?

[strong knoll]

me dum

[wind pulsar]

I have an unlimited 4G plan since I don't need more
I pay like 40 cents per day

[hearty spear]

Your cell phone plan pays for having the phone number and account and all the shit.
You pay a bit extra to use some data in a hot spot mode.

For your laptop you have to pay for the phone number, line, account, etc. AND THEN you're getting to data again.

[strong knoll]

good question

[jaunty compass]

Not really , mini pcie can only really be used for wireless interface cards and some GPU risers. I've seen some storage for it before but only emmc modules

[strong knoll]

can i use SSDs? or eGPU

[jaunty compass]

It's a pcie 1x connection but it was only used in laptops for the most part and was made obsolete by m.2

[jaunty compass]

Theoretically yes but have fun finding decently sized ssds for it or a proper egpu solution
I don't think they even made a beast dock for it

I checked, there is a beast dock with mini pcie

[strong knoll]

different topic but load setup default is locked for me in BIOS

[wind pulsar]

@hearty spear Intel Battlemage will release in Q2 2024 and Celestial will release at Q2 2026

[jaunty compass]

you're in luck, there is a egpu dock for mini pcie but don't expect it to work well, it's pcie 1x

[hearty spear]

Think intel can not have 5 years of delays this time?

[strong knoll]

will it outperform my hd 4000

[hearty spear]

Do you have several hundred dollars to throw at it?

[strong knoll]

no

[wind pulsar]

If they have delays, that just means they're planning on taking it seriously. I see it positively

[jaunty compass]

bro the mini pcie egpu thing is like $60

[hearty spear]

plus a GPU lol

[jaunty compass]

if you have a card that's faster sure

[jaunty compass]

he could grab an rx 550 and perform a lot faster

[hearty spear]

not really on 1x

[jaunty compass]

like
you could do it for sub 150 and get better performance

[full fossil]

this is a lot of money for something that will not work well and will be janky

[jaunty compass]

it's not my money they just asked if it was possible

i'm not saying it would be practical, it wouldn't be at all

[neon mesa]

PCIe 3.0 1x is like 950MB/s
you're not going to have a nice time

[gleaming solstice]

can someone explain me smth? how does a computer actually know how to do smth i understand the thing with 1 on 0 Off but like ok you have the basic stuff but then how does the computer know how to handle this? like it knows the different 8packs of 0 and 1 equal this letter or sign or number or idk. but how actually does it work after this. like how does it know 00000001 + 00000001 = 00000010 and how does it like do other stuff like if, of, and, etc. how can you like actually get the basis of this

[wind pulsar]

Oh, additionally, Apple had to halt production for M2 chips because people would rather buy an M1 device than a dogshit M2 device

[jaunty compass]

lmao i'm not surprised

[neon mesa]

fuck its still a while

[hearty spear]

I mean, the M2 isn't that terrible.
Barring apple tax et all

[jaunty compass]

wasn't the m2 macbook air thermal throttling?

[full fossil]

you're asking how it knows what to do with the 1s and 0s?

[wind pulsar]

Sorry, they had to halt production AGAIN, because they had to halt it several times before that

[full fossil]

A little bit, yea

[hearty spear]

That's less than 2 years from launch for gen 1 to 2?
That's faster than normal for GPUs.

[gleaming solstice]

no bro read it

[jaunty compass]

mfw their own silicon throttles in their own device

[wind pulsar]

'A little bit' - thermal throttling is thermal throttling

It throttled to the point that it was worse than the M1 air in the end

[hearty spear]

in their defence:
It's passively cooled, and intel doesn't even try that.

[jaunty compass]

they have no defense

[neon mesa]

meanwhile X86-64 chips are getting close in efficiency

[full fossil]

intel macbook airs were trash

[gleaming solstice]

?

[jaunty compass]

they designed it to be passively cooled, they weren't forced; they could have added a small fan or something

[hearty spear]

yes they do, if you can passively cool a solidly performing laptop?
That's a fuckin' HUGE win.

A laptop with nearly 0 moving parts is HUGE

[wind pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRe8zVCjCNw Amazon Basics CPU cooler

[regal cobalt]

well started helping people in tech support threads, now all OPs inactive oof

[full fossil]

it's early days
Apple never gets it right on the first 2 or 3 tries

[hearty spear]

shockingly it doesn't absolutely suck

[jaunty compass]

if it's thermal throttling, it isn't being passively cooled properly

the m1 didn't thermal throttle, did it

[full fossil]

nope

[jaunty compass]

the m2 does, they took a step backwards

[hearty spear]

it was performing well enough to still kick the m1 macbooks in the nuts

[regal cobalt]

any interesting topics im bored after this

[wind pulsar]

I mean yeah, most Amazon Basics products are like that

[full fossil]

How many products has apple gotten right on the first try lol

[gleaming solstice]

read what i asked.

[jaunty compass]

if you design a laptop and design a SOC to go in that laptop and then the cooling you designed can't handle the soc you designed what are you doing 💀

[full fossil]

making a bad product

[jaunty compass]

lower the power target or something if you can't cool it at full load

don't just let it cook

[hearty spear]

I'm no apple lover by any stretch, but y'all are fuckin' on another damned level.

[full fossil]

M1 macbook air is my baby, I want one

[jaunty compass]

I trust apple as far as I can throw tim cook

[wispy marsh]

Apple is good

[hearty spear]

Some of y'all need to start the "Mac Haters Cult" and make some robes n shizz

Literally the iPhone lmao

we already have that, it's called #linux

2G speeds moment

[wispy marsh]

An Apple a day keeps the doctor away

You’ll need one, seeing as you’ve lose your sense of taste.

[full fossil]

$699 with a contract

in 2007

[vocal raft]

apple is better than anything else; because you can eat it, you cant eat a windows computer

[jaunty compass]

damn, I don't love a multibillion dollar company selling garbage

I must be in a cult

[wind pulsar]

So what

[jaunty compass]

[gleaming solstice]

except potatoes

[wind pulsar]

It was an entirely new product, you also still pay $2,000 for foldable phones lmao

[vocal raft]

true

i love android but it isn't edible

[full fossil]

*999

[wind pulsar]

No, $2,000

[regal cobalt]

yep im losing braincells again
im not great at this but il tell in the easiest way to understand
so its like a boolean value( true or false)
one indicates (a true value) and 0 indicates a false value.
multiple such values when arranged in a combination, represent multiple statements and actions

[hearty spear]

Except apple doesn't sell garbage.
Their products are better, on the whole, than PC products are.

PC Manufs make a hell of a lot more trash than apple does.

[wind pulsar]

What you're referring to are the fliphones, I meant the foldables

[regal cobalt]

many actions of pcs are automated this way

[lucid echo]

Spending emotional energy hating on a corporation is just as cringe as loving it
It does not care about you either way

[wispy marsh]

The iPhone isn’t just a $800 phone with a contract. It’s a multi trillion-dollar industry over the span of decades

[full fossil]

bruh

it's a folding screen

[hearty spear]

Pholdable Phablets ?

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, since it's a rebranded cooler master 92mm tower lmao

[jaunty compass]

Personally I just don't waste money on their stuff

[gleaming solstice]

i know i know but thats not what im tryna ask im asking how the pc manages to handle these the right way.

[lucid echo]

You have different priorities, that's totally fine

[full fossil]

Just buy whatever product is good for you
it's not that hard

[hearty spear]

which is as far as you should give a shit.
But you clearly care a lot more than just "not buying it"

[full fossil]

brand loyalty is cringe as hell

[wind pulsar]

Tbh their Mac minis are pretty good shit nowadays

[lucid echo]

@full fossil preach

[astral drum]

In general, I've found Amazon Basics stuff to do what it says on the tin. Nothing more, nor less. Whereas with normal [OFFBRAND] and [NOBRAND] it can be a crapshoot ranging from "the same as the good stuff" to "useless, so I was forced to buy the good stuff anyway or suffer."

[full fossil]

yea the m2 mac mini is honestly crazy value

[regal cobalt]

so cpus have transistors that acts like flow gates, electricity flows trough when in correct value( or matches a set of instructions)
and when it doesn't it generates a 0

[regal cobalt]

and then the rest what i said continues
im not great at this stuff, u myt wanna search youtube there are detailed videos on stuff like this

[gleaming solstice]

but then how does it run the whole code

[lucid echo]

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+does+a+computer+work

[wispy marsh]

I trust Arasaka with my soul

[hearty spear]

Also, bitching about a passively cooled M2 laptop having some thermal throttling issues:

Remind me, what do high-end Ryzen 7000 chips run at thermally? Like, Spec, with a 360mm radiator slapped on em? 95c was it?

[regal cobalt]

they have millions to billions of transistors in the CPUs

all act at the same time , processing different part of a specific code

[full fossil]

to be completely fair, ryzen 7000 is designed to do that; push power until it hits 95C no matter what

[jaunty compass]

what really annoys me is the people who go out of their way to defend a company that actively goes against the idea of consumer rights and repairability

[gleaming solstice]

but then they already coded the script to the cpu

[thin fjord]

they're kinda like ants

[low rain]

I have to start waking up early now

[full fossil]

ryzen 7000 is dumb as fuck for that

[low rain]

Today I only got 5 hrs of sleep

[hearty spear]

Yup, and I'll scream about apple being shitty for consumers for that.
That's 100% a thing.

But that's, again, entirely separate from the products and their quality.

[regal cobalt]

and as said here, binary is considered as a hardware level language

thx sanic tht video is gud

[astral drum]

terrible character trait both in terms of practicality (brand loyalty artificially nullifies competition) and human interaction

[wind pulsar]

It performed the worst in flatness tests and cooler contact tests though

[regal cobalt]

check tht video out @gleaming solstice

[lucid echo]

it's search results lol

[jaunty compass]

that's separate from the products themselves, but their products are designed to not be repairable and to be disposable, and the software in their phones is designed to be incredibly restrictive

[gleaming solstice]

there is no video

[hearty spear]

It didn't let the CPU throttle. Which means it's better than some other coolers are lol.

[lucid echo]

watch all the videos then report back

[thin fjord]

chat is on fire today aint it

[hearty spear]

"So doesn't absolutely suck"

[gleaming solstice]

bro

[regal cobalt]

som1 using his brain instead of losing braincells typing stuff already in thier brain naiss 😂 me be the person in the second scenario

[full fossil]

It's an extremely complicated topic, you want an answer you gotta learn

[jaunty compass]

it's cheap and the cpu doesn't throttle
that's what we call good enough

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, it's about on par with a Vetroo V5, it seems

[regal cobalt]

not a specific video

[hearty spear]

you're conflating multiple issues.

You don't have to like apple to say their products are, on the whole, pretty well made and designed.

[regal cobalt]

check multiple whatever is given ther

[hearty spear]

you're not going to get 6 weeks of college level instruction in a discord on "How does a computer processor work"

[regal cobalt]

like modern computers are already good enough to perform normal tasks

[full fossil]

what is this? nuance in dae discord chat?

[lucid echo]

You're missing the part where the overwhelming majority of customers don't give two shits about those issues

[jaunty compass]

cool, the overwhelming majority of consumers are stupid then

[full fossil]

or have different priorities

[thin fjord]

thog dont car

[wispy marsh]

I get to play xiv tomorrow

[astral drum]

it doesn't "know" anything. think of it like a rube goldberg machine limited to the logical operators. You can create "conditionals" in transistors where if x gate is closed then y gate opens. Also, relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/505/
