What sort of engine would you need to move 30,000kg (66138lbs) at 110km/h (70mph)?

[patent fog]

No idea

[solar nova]

diesel engine bro

or u can use rocket engine

[simple sedge]

It isn’t diesel operated I know that

I would need more information on the aerodynamic properties of the object

So I've played around with the ThinkPad T480 hackintosh for a few hours now and I have to admit that I've fallen in Love with macos

I never thought I'd say this coming from gentoo

[hollow briar]

I used to be an invalid with mac then swtiched over to it after aggressive group policy at work, and i have not regretted it since

[lucid echo]

It's surprisingly close to a really polished linux distro, given how much you can do in the bash/zsh terminal

[hollow briar]

I mean it is Unix

[lucid echo]

Unix-like, yeah

[hollow briar]

no its literally Unix

[full fossil]

Basically yeah but apple just adds their own touches that make it so good and stable

[lucid echo]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like

[full fossil]

Still turned it into the equivalent of a tiling window manager though

Can be bothered to touch the UI

[hollow briar]

not like Unix its certified Unix 🙂

[full fossil]

but im being pedantic

[lucid echo]

That's what #public-chat is for, my dear :P

[wind pulsar]

Step on a lego, scrub

[full fossil]

Is their anyway I can make the thinkpad T480 keyboard any better?

[hollow briar]

[full fossil]

I'm going to print a silicon case for my thinkpad T480 as surprisingly I haven't found anything like that online

[lucid echo]

Apologies, you're right, got it mixed up. Linux is unix-like, macOS is true Unix ™️

[median idol]

Pilot chat supremacy

[hollow briar]

Impossible to keep track of these things

[lucid echo]

At some point I learned that linux is unix-like and I assumed that applied to all modern "unix" os's

[hollow briar]

I was an open systems engineer for several years hence me being pedantic

[full fossil]

I've used Linux for 5 years and now something about MacOS appeals to me

I don't know why?

[hollow briar]

as much shit people give IBM, AIX is super stable

[patent fog]

I mean aren't both Linux and macOS built on top of Unix?

[lucid echo]

There's a reason why nearly every software dev uses it

[full fossil]

Technically yes

[wind pulsar]

It's almost like MacOS is a pretty good OS but people constantly shit on it because MacOS is MacOS and MacOS is Apple

[hollow briar]

no mac is UNIX, linux is UNIX like but not UNIX. i.e. GNU is not Unix

BSD, AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD etc. all Unix

[patent fog]

And the distros built on top of Linux?

[hollow briar]

all share the Linux kernel

Kernel == Core of the software everything else is gravy

[median idol]

Speaking of which, do people still hackintosh?

[full fossil]

The distros are bundles of packages curated in a certain why

[gilded quest]

Not really

[full fossil]

Yep, did it today

[patent fog]

Ah. But then on top of Linux kernel?

[lucid echo]

Sometimes yeah. The new-ish Opencore bootloader has made it pretty easy. I did up until recently, but needed the parts in an emergency repair for my NAS

[hollow briar]

nice, how is it? I have this...

[full fossil]

GNU + Linux, yes

[lucid echo]

Hackintoshing is still pretty slick. Odds are it'll be feasible until around '26 when they stop updating x86 macs

Just don't put an nvidia GPU in there lmao

[full fossil]

It's great lol. I'm surprised how customizable MacOS is under the hood. Even with that it's still very stable. Much more so than my previous linux machine

[hollow briar]

was going to send a pic but my phones being dumb

[lucid echo]

No pics allowed in #public-chat

[hollow briar]

ahh

[lucid echo]

Except for floatplane subs

[full fossil]

[lucid echo]

You can post it in #screenshots though

[patent fog]

Wouldn't you then be able to say the same thing about macOS, just a different Kernel and a different version of GNU?

[tardy terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/really-smh-im-done-overit-gif-21586028

[hollow briar]

ahh makes sense

[full fossil]

MacOS does not use GNU or Linux.

They are semi related because of Unix

Different thing

[hollow briar]

but yeah i have mbp for work and love it, i just bought an m2 air and its been great so far. Really good for development and what not. I used to roll w/ Suse but a lot of things don't support Linux which is a bummer

[patent fog]

By different version, I mean, it's own perspectives of it

Like Chrome and Firefox

[full fossil]

MacOS does not use any part of GNU. They are related because they are both semi with an astriks based of Unix

[lucid echo]

It's easy to equate the two given they both have bash/zsh CLI

[patent fog]

I did not say it used GNU I mean they use their own perspectives of it, the way Chrome uses it's browser engine and Firefox uses theirs

[tardy terrace]

Where back did macos branch off of debian(?)

[lucid echo]

Darwin

[full fossil]

Technically yes

[lucid echo]

Unless that was sarcastic lol

[wise kettle]

That’s Unix

[full fossil]

Wait what the fuck? 😂

[tardy terrace]

It was a genuine question as I'm not sure, but I just looked it up, unix-like

My b! Remembered incorrectly

[frank cypress]

man I rememebr the days when x-nix was x-nix, bsd was bsd, and microsoft wasn't nervous..

[lucid echo]

I wish Apple would release a macOS Pro
Same nice unix environment but more developer-focused and linux-like

[wise kettle]

It is already Linux like

[patent fog]

Actually, isn't GNU just the OS, and Linux the Kernel? And then what ever packages the manufacturers choose to insert on top of it?

[lucid echo]

Emphasis on more linux-like

[wise kettle]

It’s terminal is able to be used the exact same

[lucid echo]

I'm aware, I use it every day

[hollow briar]

No use trying to keep up w/ it all as it changes in 3 months anyway, just gotta learn how to learn quick

[wise kettle]

Huh

[tardy terrace]

hwat

[hollow briar]

Linux/Unix semantics

[tardy terrace]

the core bits are basically all the same

[frank cypress]

at the end of the day, bash is bash.

[wise kettle]

macOS and Linux are very similar

[lucid echo]

As long as it works

[hollow briar]

Im starting to like this guy

I just got a wsl kali install up & running with win-kex, tryinn'a see what kind of SDR software things it can do

[patent fog]

Linux is just a kernel. macOS is closer to a distro I would argue

[wise kettle]

Not exactly

[lucid echo]

Also welcome to the server btw, if you want to dive even deeper into unnecessary, strongly opinionated debates and misinterpretations, check out #linux :P

[tardy terrace]

I'm scared to go in there

[wise kettle]

It’s fun there

[frank cypress]

Just go in and say "Cinnamon is best distro" and you'll be in in no time.

[hollow briar]

thanks, i was on the ltt for a while but just realized they may have had a discord so joined it. Me not having any games to play i figure i'll talk nerd w/ some like minded folks

[wise kettle]

I will personally deliver the smack to whoever says that

[tardy terrace]

cinnamon best distro

[hollow briar]

I think I said this yesterday actually

[tardy terrace]

go on, hit a woman

[lucid echo]

Darwin is the best distro obviously

[patent fog]

How so?

[hollow briar]

TempleOS is the best distro 🤔

[tardy terrace]

rip

[wise kettle]

Both are kernels, a kernel is the base of an operating system

[lucid echo]

Deep cut

[tardy terrace]

kernels are neat little bits of software

[wise kettle]

[lucid echo]

Fun fact/humble brag, I gave LTT the idea to make a TempleOS video

[wise kettle]

No. macOS is not a kernel. It runs on top of a kernel. macOS is included packages + GUI/OS + Kernel

[wise kettle]

[wise kettle]

No

[tardy terrace]

The kernel is the little bit of software that makes your system do what it does when talking w/ hardware

[patent fog]

But macOS itself I would argue is not a kernel. It runs on top of a kernel

[frank cypress]

Anthony talked me into trying PopOS, and, while it works, I be damned if I can get it to run any games decently, even via lutris installers. xubuntu however seems to work good and it lightweight enough to run on a rPi

[hollow briar]

PopOs aint bad, but its kind of just another one of those flavors of the week

[tardy terrace]

macos is an operating system, that contains a kernel

[lucid echo]

You know y'all could just google this right?

[patent fog]

This.

[tardy terrace]

Sometimes that's not as fun, Sanic

[wise kettle]

As is Linux

[hollow briar]

Goog iz hard

[tardy terrace]

As is Windows

[wise kettle]

Yes

[tardy terrace]

I wanna fiddle with an RTOS

[blazing lily]

It's a Unix system! I know this!

[tardy terrace]

NO WAIT JUST DO

[patent fog]

Thus it is not kernel in and of itself

[tardy terrace]

[frank cypress]

I like to think of a kernel as a military colonel, sittin back at HQ issuing orders to the commanders (your UI/desktop environ) who then issue orders to the soldiers (applications) but they're all technically independent.

[wise kettle]

Linux is the name of a kernel and os

[tardy terrace]

this is rough but kernel>hal>drivers>core components>users>UI

[hollow briar]

The real question is, should I drink another beer

[wise kettle]

👍

[tardy terrace]

everyone forgets the hardware abstraction layer

[lucid echo]

@hollow briar Maybe you know this as a systems eng - Are you aware of anyone running darwin, modified or not, either locally or via a server? They keep releasing new updates but I've never heard of it being used outside regular ol' macOS

[wise kettle]

With windowing in there somewhere

[tardy terrace]

windowing = ui

[frank cypress]

I never forget the HAL, I have to finagle anticheats to work in linux, most of them run protected mode, aka hal linked. so i'm all too familiar.

[patent fog]

Hmmm... Ok Fair. I used Linux as Linux Kernel. Apparently Linux is also the Linux Kernel + GNU

[hollow briar]

I haven't done much raw SE stuff in a while but we do have some dev teams that have farms of mac systems running for compiling of iOS builds. My primary use case for macosx is that it just has the CLI embeded and our company supports it.

wait.. i'd expect it to be a custom skin at least on that.. CA version at bestbuy it just plainwhite + game.

[wise kettle]

Yes

[edgy moss]

found a 1050ti on fb marketplace selling for 50 dollars. sounds like a good deal

[fluid ridge]

eh, you definitely wont be playing any games @ any good graphics with a 1050ti

maybe it'll make a good media server gpu or something

[wise kettle]

I mean you might be able to play cs source

[fluid ridge]

at like a solid 55fps

[wise kettle]

Not even gonna give it 60?

[fluid ridge]

yeah honestly even if it is cheap there's no point in buying it

[fluid ridge]

bro it wont give itself 60

[wise kettle]

Dang, ok

[frank cypress]

I play Ark and some other older but higher graphics games on my 1050non-ti just fine.

[fluid ridge]

i should rephrase

you wont be playing any modern games at any good graphics settings but you can probably run roblox and csgo and a few others acceptably

[frank cypress]

that latest nfs remaster on ea play runs 1080p60 too

there used to be a way you could manually toss things into that systemrequirementslab canyourunit thing but now it just runs a detection program and shows you what you can run with what it detects.

but yeah, you could run cyberpunk2077 at potato 720p at maybe 60fps

[fervent bridge]

Resolution is a big factor tbh

[frank cypress]

use nvidia's native upscaling and 720p looks ok at an antialiased 1080p

[edgy moss]

im just putting it in a little pc for my girlfriend

not looking to break the bank, and she plays minecraft and the sims mostly

[runic lagoon]

Steam has something similar built in. I hope it’s better then what they’ve been using in fortnight. I stopped playing that because the botting got really bad.

[frank cypress]

well i'l llet you in on something, the 1050 runs off board power, theres no pci-e power connection (ti might have one tho, not sure) so its not a very powerful card

[tardy terrace]

a 580 would be better

[frank cypress]

for 50 bones tho, its certainly better than a more current gt-series of similar price

[edgy moss]

i actually found a 1060 3gb for 55

[frank cypress]

if you're familiar with heaven benchmark, 40fps average for me (extreme preset btw, windowed) right now, peaks to 60 in less tesselated areas.

[edgy moss]

i also do have a silly little sata power adapter

[tardy terrace]

Now that chris mentioned the sims now I wanna play it

[frank cypress]

oh I meant the card itself has no power connection on it, just pulls from the pciex16 slot, so it'll never go over your tdp, making overclocking pointless as well. 1060 is a bit better for sure tho

lol I emailed EA a bit ago about sims actually, when they forced me to install the new app and delete origin, they als kindly deleted my sims base game but nt expansions in the prcess..

and yeah, i had a hankerin to play it again myself.

[tardy terrace]

When my nas finally gets deployed I'm backing up my entire game library

if i can't get better internet speeds then fuck it i'll create my own storage pool

[frank cypress]

hmm now i'm wondering if i can track down a decent 20-series for under $100..

oh i know that feel, my downstream is 4mbps. sims4 says it'll take 24hrs to download.

I ended up pulling a 500gb drive out of an old dead laptop i had around, getting an external drive kit from the local canadacomputers (usb3) and just having steam "move" everything i wasn't actively playing on to it so i'd never have to download it again.

[edgy moss]

Yes im aware lol

i am well versed in low tier gpus

[frank cypress]

when i got the 1050 i was actually kinda surprised it didn't have one, my previous card was a 560 half-size and i woulda thought newer would certainly need more power but nope.

[snow lily]

Finally watching the bts vid from ltt. Lmao so much in the vid I'd missed 😂

[full fossil]

I was gathering info about encryption and I came across rsa encryption. Could anyone bother to explain me what is it exactly

[fluid ridge]

also what is he talking about, windows 11 no matter where it comes from will be infested with bloatware

despite being the best windows version, 11 needs to be debloated and privacy optimized before use

[lucid echo]

For those who haven't used it
https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

[tender glade]

there is an iso floating of it

[patent fog]

Everything will be filled with bloat imo

[full fossil]

It doesn't have enough power

Also, it never went away

[fluid ridge]

simply debloat

find a powershell script on github, insanely easy but equally as effective

[full fossil]

Install Windows 11 Education

[patent fog]

Too much work. Also if you want privacy, probably should just hide in a box. I don't trust anything to be truly private imo

[fluid ridge]

it is absolutely not too much work lmao

it involves downloading a zip folder, extracting it, running powershell and using the script

[lucid echo]

The software I linked is extremely straightforward

[fluid ridge]

you can complete it within 2 minutes

[full fossil]

Windows 11 Education

[fluid ridge]

also that sounds like a unnecessarily neutered version of windows 11

IDK what "education" entails but ill stick with home/pro

[frank cypress]

theres a tool somewhere that downloads the files from MS and lets you build a custom ISO for any win version, I dont have the link but there was a video i saw from a guy that was showing it

[patent fog]

Ok, if it removes all the bloat you care about then fine. To me, bloat is everything I don't want. Which frankly is most of the apps it comes with lol.

[fluid ridge]

which it will do

https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater I personally use this one, but it hasn't been updated in a few years

even so it works on both windows 10 and windows 11 (i tested both)

[full fossil]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/windows

[patent fog]

I promise you, just like every other piece of OS out there, there will still be bloat ware in there I don't want

Hell, every other piece of software tbh

[lucid echo]

The software I linked gives a big ol' list so you can pick exactly what you do and don't want, even down to internet connectivity

But gives preset defaults of best use case

It's nice. Must have

[fluid ridge]

what do you count as bloatware? that literally strips windows down to it's bare components, hell it even removes onedrive

(which broke my file system btw lol dont do that, or uninstall it manually)

[patent fog]

If you have to pick and choose, then oops, it's not a two minute job then.

[wispy marsh]

Hot take

If you use your real name as your discord name, you're Grom Hellscream

[lucid echo]

Nah, it's a 30 second job. The defaults are solid. You can make minor changes later if you want

[fluid ridge]

bro if you took the time that you sit on your ass and complain rather than take the 81 seconds to get it over with every fresh windows install you'd have enough debloat time for 6 windows installs over

[lucid echo]

Like, you can open it up later and remove the calendar app or Edge telemetry or whatever
You can't have the best of both worlds. Either do the quick catch-all defaults or spend 10 minutes picking what you want

[patent fog]

So it takes you 30 seconds to choose what you don't want while scrolling through this "big ol' list"? Strangely enough I doubt if I set a stopwatch, it will end up being 30 seconds

[fluid ridge]

uh i dont choose lol, i used the stronger defaults provided

[patent fog]

Which I said was too much work for me

You told me it is not

[fluid ridge]

the point of automated debloat tools is so you dont need to go in and manually uninstall everything

[lucid echo]

(Assuming you were replying to me)
No, you can apply the defaults in two clicks and never look at the list
Or, you can go through the list and pick and choose.

Again, it's an extremely useful tool that gives you the choice of how deep you wanna dive, or not dive in at all

Since the link got lost way up there
https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

[patent fog]

I did not say it was not an extremely useful too

[lucid echo]

Okay bud

[patent fog]

I said it was too much work for me

[lucid echo]

It's 30 seconds tops

[patent fog]

You just said otherwise

[lucid echo]

Maybe I'm not being clear enough

[stray apex]

I just tried it and it took me 46 seconds

[lucid echo]

You have a choice
You can be super quick and apply defaults
OR you can spend extra time fine-tuning it

[stray apex]

how could you lie like this

[sinful moat]

I use a WIM deployment and driver integration.

StrelecPE + NTSetup

[full fossil]

Anyone know how to fix white light on vga

[lucid echo]

You said you have a very precise personal definition of bloatware. If that's the case, maybe the defaults aren't enough. Up to you to decide whether you wanna go through the list and disable even more stuff. That's what I meant by "you cant have the best of both worlds"

[patent fog]

By assuming I will choose the super quick version when you argued it is a 30 seconds job. You did not give me a choice. You never did. When I said it was too much work it was because I wanted to do the latter.

[fluid ridge]

bro is really living up to his name

[sinful moat]

My problem with Gigabyte's first-party install of Windows 11 is that it breaks at OOBE.

[fluid ridge]

also thats an oof

[sinful moat]

No wonder this lappy was $1000 off. XD

[lucid echo]

I'm not giving you any choice man, it's just a piece of software
Apply the defaults now, be done in a few seconds. If, a week from now, something else bothers you, spend another 30 seconds opening it again and flip a switch. It's dummy easy.

[tardy terrace]

fkn oobe, been around since xp

[lucid echo]

I really don't understand why you're being so combative about this

[sinful moat]

The BIOS is March of 2022, so I doubt the install of Windows was even 20H2

[lucid echo]

Use it or don't. It's easy and nice, and the defaults will likely solve 90% of your issues with windows bloatware

[full fossil]

Can your gpu be bricked if the fans are spinning?

[sinful moat]

Everyone who does this has their preferred tools.

[stray apex]

this is what #public-chat is for

You can't spoof/scam a gift like that, right?

[plush rivet]

you very much can

[unkempt widget]

welp

[plush rivet]

its not hard to do

[unkempt widget]

i may or may not just clicked it out of curiosity

[plush rivet]

ur an idiot

[sage quiver]

Real gift

[unkempt widget]

it led me to a game

[plush rivet]

is it actually?

[sinful moat]

It's a fake gift.

[lucid echo]

Well regardless, it's already claimed

[unkempt widget]

it seems like someone has already accepted the gift though

[sinful moat]

All the game specs are 1337

[strong kettle]

scam

[edgy moss]

it is game advertising fr though

[sage quiver]

Wait what the hell

I didn’t realize there were non nitro gifts

[plush rivet]

its def not real LOL

[proven mauve]

anyone know anything about cameras

[chrome vector]

Legitimate question, what counts as a meme or a shitpost? There isn't a meme channel is there?

[plush rivet]

not anymore

[lucid echo]

Don't ask to ask, just ask

[sage quiver]

It’s a real gift for a fake game

[chrome vector]

😦 y tho

[plush rivet]

making obvious misinformation that gets out of hand is considered shit posting

[sinful moat]

Meme channels have died due to the advent of the deliberately offensive edgelords. Not even HUMOROUSLY offensive, just deliberately.

[patent fog]

I would consider shit posting as anything without useful content in it.

[sage quiver]

That, and repetitive low quality shitposts

[proven mauve]

naw I just don't understand Sony's naming of there a73 line of cameras

[sage quiver]

Better to disallow it all than sift through the garbage

[unkempt widget]

am i the only one who noticed how much nvme ssd prices have fallen btw

[plush rivet]

thats on context, you can have something useless in the context, but having a conversation with it is annoying

[chrome vector]

SSDs in general have fallen far recently

[sinful moat]

New products getting ready to launch

[plush rivet]

its been like that for years

[unkempt widget]

like a quality 2tb nvme ssd is less expensive than a quality 2tb sata ssd

[patent fog]

Eh. Idk how to describe it. But I won't argue. Lol

[lucid echo]

There are quite a few photography nerds in #pilot-toast that may have input there

[sinful moat]

Because 2TB SATA is in less-demand.

[plush rivet]

all good i wasent hot headed just curious

[chrome vector]

it's great. You can get 4tb external SSD's for like $200ish. I'm only sad I spent a bit too much on some of my SSDs. I've bought like 6 2tb NVME's recently, and I still need to buy one or two more. I have four in my main rig alone

[sinful moat]

I need to set up a FIPS and CJIS-compliant storage array for a Sheriff's office CID division.

I'm aiming for 24TB of drives in RAID 5

[chrome vector]

My MOBO takes 4 NVME SSD's. Thinking about buying a four TB one and replacing one of the Samsung 980/970's. Then I have a laptop that takes one NVME, then another better laptop that takes two, the my PS5 that I still have to replace, etc.

[chrome vector]

Raid 0, no balls

[sinful moat]

RAID zero is not an option, especially considering the network is gigabit and the data needs to be resilient. This is felony criminal investigation data.

[full fossil]

the link i sent was a joke lol

[plush rivet]

ah, i just always report suspicious links

[patent fog]

Shouldn't you be discussing the RAID options with the IT department then? Not in a Discord chat?

[plush rivet]

its a habit i have

[chrome vector]

Exactly, it's a lottery. Oops, one of the drives died. You're free to go

[plush rivet]

RAID is very much tech it can be discussed here lol

[chrome vector]

Get out of jail free card

[sinful moat]

I am the IT department. I work for their MSP.

[polar fern]

🤦‍♂️ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/consumer-lender-tmx-discloses-data-breach-impacting-48-million-people/

[chrome vector]

Yeah the DATA I am going to have on PC is going to be non critical so I'm having all my 2tb NVME's on Raid 0. Anything I really need will be backed up IRL or cloud. It's a gaming PC, so. I am thinking about making a NAS though

[plush rivet]

i always say, whenever you think your secure, your never secure

[patent fog]

I'm not saying it can't... I'm saying if you're talking about crucial information like a felony investigation... Like isn't this kind of thing you discuss with your partners at work?

[sinful moat]

They have a V4 xeon server with three open 3.5" bays.

[plush rivet]

why are you RAIDING NVMes.

[sinful moat]

Because he can.

[plush rivet]

thats so useless

[sinful moat]

Not really.

Just depends on application and preference.

[plush rivet]

it legit it, RAID with NVMEs to increase the speeds really does jack shit

[full fossil]

I put in 32gb of ram but it’s saying 5.3/14.2 anyone know if this is okay?

[plush rivet]

send your task manager

[sinful moat]

No, it increases your random IO capability

[lucid echo]

I just asked for the same in his tech-support post lol

[plush rivet]

lol

[sinful moat]

Increases your random I/O throughput and decreases the load on the SSDs.

[plush rivet]

by an amount so low its not even worth dicussing

RAID 0 on SSDs makes 0 practical sense

[chrome vector]

Okay I guess I'm not actually RAIDing them, I'm just not using any of them as backups, just using their full capabilities. It's mostly to have anything I want downloaded, since I'm going to have at least 8tb. Maybe more later.

[sinful moat]

No, the Random I/O is effectively the sum of the drives used minus overhead and standard deviation

Remember what I said about OOBE? LOL I have an unattend that BYPASSES OOBE. 🙂

Creates local account and bypasses OOBE.

Very useful when you need to deploy multiple computers as a MSP.

Also the ability to export and import wifi profiles. BIG HELP./

[uneven stirrup]

It’s a smaller OS runs on almost anything runs Most games, unlike Linux. I’ve experienced less errors with it, it’s had longer time to be more optimized than windows 11 and overall for me runs smoother than windows 11… but I can get how you like how windows 11 feels and other things about it

[plush rivet]

those all sound like general opinions and not actually why its better

[patent fog]

I mean Windows 11 is Windows 10 22H2 iirc

:p

[uneven stirrup]

Ha well true

[lucid echo]

Smaller OS
Comes with Candy Crush preinstalled

[timid meadow]

11 is just 10 with a new skin and some regedits

[rich mauve]

这里有国人吗？

[plush rivet]

+better security

[uneven stirrup]

Tbh true people won’t like that tho… it’s just a reskin for real tho

[patent fog]

I like new skins. Old skins on OSes, just gets old.

[timid meadow]

Noone likes change. That doesnt make 10 inherently better

[plush rivet]

i mean evetually people will move on from 10

[lucid echo]

Other languages are cool and all, but this is an english-only server sadly

[uneven stirrup]

I mean I like the way windows 11 feels sometimes but there’s some things that make me like windows 10 more

[plush rivet]

sounds like your just not used to it

[lucid echo]

That is a valid opinion homie

[rich mauve]

250

[uneven stirrup]

Guess that’s what they said about windows 8…

[patent fog]

I liked Windows 8

[plush rivet]

people hate change, when 10 loses full support people wont have a choice anyways

[timid meadow]

I use 10 for gaming on the main rig (till either it hits EOL or close enough when i need a reinstall anyway). Unraid on the server and kubuntu on the laptop. None of them are better then the others, different use cases

[plush rivet]

its already on the EOL train

[uneven stirrup]

I’ll just mod the crap out of windows 11 to look and mimic windows 10 tbh if that happens

[patent fog]

But then, I almost never used the start menu. Everything is on my taskbar

[plush rivet]

thats on you. I hated 11 but got used to it and i like it now

[lucid echo]

StartAllBack + O&O ShutUp10 is my go-to combo

Removes all the nasty bits and reorganizes the UI

[uneven stirrup]

I kinda like how small windows 10 can be with tiny 10

[lucid echo]

StartAllBack can make it look almost identical to windows 10

[plush rivet]

i love this taskbar.

[random jolt]

same boat tbh, wasn't a fan but when they added back the win10 context menus and start menu customizations I'm actually ok with it now, that and it's sorta needed for 12th gen intel

[timid meadow]

Do new installs of 11 have cortana replaced by binggpt yet? Noticed it on a test win10 install i did yesterday. Havent seen it on my main rig yet but i disabled web search so it probs wont show up

[patent fog]

Oof that desktop man

[plush rivet]

way to lazy to organize it

[patent fog]

How much shit you got there

[random jolt]

my desktop lol (sorta have to cuz oled)

[timid meadow]

Looks better then my desktop. Gimme a sec ill snag a ss

[patent fog]

My desktop doesn't have anything on it lol

[uneven stirrup]

Kinda looks like my apps before I organized it lol

[plush rivet]

used to have my games on my left monitor, right everything else

[rich mauve]

[plush rivet]

after getting 11 it deleted it and got way to lazy to put them back/redownload everything

[slim raft]

[sinful moat]

My task bar is not showing up now..... WTF.

[plush rivet]

ew why is it everywhere

[timid meadow]

Because im lazy and unorganized

[plush rivet]

it reminds me of windows 8

[random jolt]

eyy fellow mullvad user

[patent fog]

I can understand that

Me, I just do a select all and trash it

[plush rivet]

i need to buy a 11 key, but seeing the prices makes me cry (yes ik theirs cheaper options but im not tryna get banned)

[patent fog]

Um, isn't an upgrade between 10 and 11 free?

[sinful moat]

If you are a student see if your school qualifies for DreamSpark

[timid meadow]

You wont get banned for the linux iso you converted to a windows iso as long as you dont tell where you got it

[plush rivet]

getting the key isnt

[random jolt]

thought the upgrade to 11 is free from 10

[patent fog]

I have never gotten banned for the US I use

ER, OS*

[plush rivet]

i mean in this discord

[timid meadow]

If you have 10 active you should be able to clean install 11 and itll be active afaik

[sinful moat]

OEM Builders licenses are great

Huh??? You can get banned for the OS you use here? I'm confused

[hard python]

Same but stuck on that or a 7900x it's cheaper

[plush rivet]

the discussion of third party retailers selling keys is banned, which is what i meant.

[timid meadow]

You can get banned if you say "i got free windows keys from X" not general discussion afaik

[patent fog]

Then don't discuss it.... Lol. Doesn't mean you can't do it...

[plush rivet]

no, you legit cant

[lucid echo]

If you debloat windows and use a KMS key you’ll get hardware ID banned from Discord

[plush rivet]

damn they MAC ban now?

i thought it was just an account ban

[patent fog]

I see

[plush rivet]

i mean MAC spoofing is a thing....

cant do much about that

[sinful moat]

MAC Spoofing does NOT affect your hardware ID.

It'll just add another table to your ban.

[random jolt]

just get another pc lol

[plush rivet]

the hardware ID IS your MAC address

[lucid echo]

[plush rivet]

like idk how you mean that

[sinful moat]

No. Your hardware ID is your system fingerprint. It is not your physical MAC address.

It's some magical mumbo-jumbo hash that your system generates when it is set up.

[lucid echo]

This is the correct answer

[plush rivet]

explain this than

[sinful moat]

STOP

You can already see that your question was NOT ANSWERED. It changed to HARDWARE ADDRESS, not HARDWARE ID.

[plush rivet]

that is the literal definition of a MAC address

[night heron]

hardware id is a general term

a mac address is technically a hardware id but they're not interchangable

all of your components have a hardware id

[sinful moat]

A MAC address is a component ID. It is not a hardware ID.

[plush rivet]

but saying its not apart of it is wrong.

[lucid echo]

There are different types of hardware IDs

[night heron]

your mac address is your NIC's hardware id

from what i understand anyway

[uneven stirrup]

This is weird… I own a iPhone 12 … and sometimes apps like discord stop working out of no-where… l use to daily drive a iPhone 6 for YEARS and this stuff wouldn’t happen… Apple really be doing some shady crap

[sinful moat]

No. Hardware ID is two things, it is what identifies the COMPONENT to the system and your system's unique fingerprint that is generated based on certain system and physical variables.

Your physical address is not the same as a hardware ID.

[night heron]

i think youre basically arguing over nothing

[plush rivet]

regardless both are used to identify the hardware itself

[sinful moat]

You are confusing HARDWARE address over HARDWARE IF.

Both serve significantly DIFFERENT purposes.

[night heron]

OKAY

[plush rivet]

but are legit used the same, why does it matter

[sinful moat]

No. They are NOT used the same. They don't do the same function.

That's like confusing your street address with your car's VIN number.

[night heron]

not really

[sinful moat]

Yes, really.

[plush rivet]

thats a horrible example

[night heron]

i just used the term hardware id instead of hardware address to describe the same thing that you are

[lucid echo]

Resident iOS developer here
That's not really apple's fault, aside from making their APIs increasingly complex
Mobile apps are way more complicated and bloated than they used to be. The transition from Objc -> Swift hasn't been the smoothest
The chance of weird freezes and crashes increases over time

[sinful moat]

But it's an apt example for what you are doing.

[sinful moat]

Okay, sysadmin here. Hardware address is NOT the same as hardware ID. Period.

[lucid echo]

There was a kid in here just yesterday that was hardware banned from Fortnite and a MAC spoofer didn't fix it, because that wasn't the ID that was banned

[night heron]

sudo apt install getbitches

[sinful moat]

Obvious bait. It's apt-get

[night heron]

the world is going to freeze over because people are calling component hardware addresses hardware id instead

[gilded quest]

aptGPT when

[sinful moat]

Language is important,

[lucid echo]

Not tryna take sides but no one is gonna listen to you if you're this combative

[plush rivet]

regardless discord WILL ban you based on your MAC.

[night heron]

nah only losers use apt-get

[lucid echo]

This was all based on a mf'ing joke
I was joking

[night heron]

not true

[sinful moat]

MAC is just one component that is visible to your applications.

[night heron]

ive been banned from discord, they didnt do anything aside from deleting my account

[lucid echo]

This was a ✨ joke ✨

[sinful moat]

Applications with cheat databases can ban you based on any number of IDs in your system.

CPU, motherboard, GPU, even the SSD.

[night heron]

if youre getting ip or hardware banned from discord you must be an avengers level threat

[chrome vector]

The fact that some Discord servers requires a phone number, but not just any phone number, specifically a mobile phone number, meaning you can't even use a fucking land line or a VoIP is stupid and ridiculous. To much shit requires phone numbers today, and I really, really hate it. 99% of stuff I am not going to give you my f-ing number, go f*** yourself. It's been a long time since I've had any burner phones, but I am going to get one or two of them soon.

the server I am talking about it for PC Building Simulator. Didn't require a phone number before, now it does

[polar fern]

Asl? 🤟

They can go f*** themselves, left the server.

[polar fern]

In the US, cell phones are linked to your social security number.

[chrome vector]

If that were true, many people would become dangerously close to becoming terrorists.

[lucid echo]

Is it one of those things where it requires a certain level of authentication on your discord account, or are the server admins directly asking to provide your phone number to them?

[lucid echo]

Alternatively you can pay a security deposit to your phone provider

[tardy terrace]

in what world did you hear that?..

[unkempt widget]

[lucid echo]

Ah okay. They checked the box requiring users to have an authenticated account

[gloomy condor]

I just turned windows 10 into windows vista

[lucid echo]

I'm not defending it btw, that's just the intention

[unkempt widget]

did it just crash?

[chrome vector]

Vista isn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be, after they patched it, that is. I heard it was really bad at launch, though. Windows 7 is just upgraded Vista

[stray apex]

Vista was bad because it had significantly higher system requirements than xp

Requirements that many systems did not meet

[gloomy condor]

Like I said I skinned it with these steps

1. Install windows
2. Install drivers
   3: copy the vista login screen image and put it as my Lock Screen background
3. Backup uwp settings
4. Run my custom script that removes all uwp apps including settings the start screen and Cortana
5. Use winaero tweaked to change the explorer disable telemetry and add classic personalization
6. Use a tool to disable ribbon in explorer
7. Install vista wallpaper
8. Install open shell and configure it
9. Use ultra ux theme patcher and then run the theme
10. Change the cursor
11. Change the sounds
    12 add task schedule for login logoff and shutdown sound
12. Change the icons

[unkempt widget]

ayo

[chrome vector]

Still makes me mad. I hate how much stuff requires you to give out your phone number nowadays, and specifically prevents you from using a VoIP and even a landline. The landline part is the most ridiculous. I am getting some burner phones soon though, I've had enough. It's been a really long time since I've had burners, but I am just done. I'm not giving out my phone number to everything. At this point I just refuse to use [insert service here] if they require my number. Only certain ones get that now, so I'm just going to get one or two burners that aren't attached to me.

signs up for something Oh you gave us your email? We'll be sure to send you fifty emails a week about every shitty thing we want you to hear.

I am getting real serious about this shit.

[fluid ridge]

i mean is your phone number that valuable

sure, you'd get spammed to shit but like

my phone number is very valuable

depends what kinda load youre using

and what does the internet say it uses under such a load?

and what are your clockspeed and temps?

and those mhz are what the internet says it supposed to be?

660ti super?

did super exist back then? or is it Boost

right, well, are the performance numbers the same?

if the 660ti performs as its supposed to, compare like furmark or 3dtimespy score with others, then why does it matter

if you want that just fuck with the voltage, you still can on those older cards

is it?

oh, thought that was for pascal and later, my bad

anyways, if you think the second 6 pin is dead, swap them around

eh actually that doesnt necessarily mean anything

does it

well then you can check it out by swapping

well that can happen if gpu z is looking for something it cant find. I remember CPU-z having a spasm when I had 1 defective ssd hooked up

but lets focus on one thing at at ime

also, adjusting power limit doesnt change power use?

the best tv show is the boys because it has homelander in it

[formal ridge]

Watching suits got me thinking, the fancy clothing for women shown in the series, would it be comfortable to wear all day for them?

Guys just wear suits all day, no problem

[velvet hazel]

Just bricked my pc what’s good guys

[fallen cedar]

lmao happens to the best of us

[fallen cedar]

also think on the bright side, its probably not "all" bricked 🙂

[formal ridge]

'm curious, how did this happen?

[pulsar violet]

I just saw the starforge parody lmao

[velvet marsh]

I just spent 2 days trying to troubleshoot a computer not booting when it was just the displayport cable. DOH

[fallen cedar]

also happens to the best of us

[velvet marsh]

I only realized when I replaced all of the other parts lol

[velvet hazel]

Check the tech support post I made

The motherboard died

[fresh ermine]

How do I take 21:9 photos on an ipad mini(current generation), want some good photos for my gaming pc desktop

I have a 3440*1440p monitor

[manic torrent]

you crop them.

[halcyon lagoon]

I don't think there's a camera right now that can do 21:9 ratio

[full fossil]

Hello

[fresh ermine]

Aw man

[sly parcel]

Finished watching the behind the scenes of the april fools. Really good

[manic torrent]

plenty of wide backgrounds available

[fresh ermine]

I want steam and diesel locomotive pics

But thanks

I google myself

[rose cloak]

Which gpu would you guys pair the i9 13900kf?

[vapid smelt]

4090

[rose cloak]

For practical no bottlenecks..

[fallen cedar]

of what

[fresh ermine]

Rx 6950xt

[rose cloak]

Games i guess? Because i play valorant which it uses more CPU than GPU

[fallen cedar]

lul

[fresh ermine]

If value is ur main concern

[rose cloak]

Is 4070 ti enough?

[fallen cedar]

dawg you dont need a 13900kf to play valorant

or a 4090 for that matter

[rose cloak]

I came from 10700k man 😦 it barely reaches 400 onstable

[fallen cedar]

valorant is single threaded workload anyways, a 13600k will literally perform the same

[rose cloak]

Oh really

[fallen cedar]

is it overclocked? also, 400 not enough?

[rose cloak]

Okay how about RUST bro?

[fallen cedar]

idk dont play that one

[rose cloak]

nope its all on default and i dont wanna mess around too much on overclocking

[fallen cedar]

but games rarely use more than 6/12 anyways

[fallen cedar]

if you are cpu bottlenecked, which I dont know, an overclock would have a pretty considerable effect on fps

but again, 400 fps not enough?

[slate flame]

i used to get 1000 fps on valorant and now i get 180 idk wtf they did to it

[rose cloak]

So if I get 4070 ti with the 13900kf.. it should be fine teah?

[velvet hazel]

found a bent pin in my CPU

[fallen cedar]

omg no

[fresh ermine]

I think 4090 are for people who want extremely smooth 4k experience

Or 8K 60fps

[manic torrent]

my 3080ti gives me an extremely smooth 4k experience

[fresh ermine]

I mean higher fps

Like 4K 200fps I guess

[manic torrent]

yes, but it gets you ... not much

[fallen cedar]

if you want to play valorant and rust or something get a 13600k + ddr4 + 4070ti or something

[rose cloak]

Well I bent one or two on my first motherboard and bought a new one (asus rog strix z790) and idk if my cpu(13900kf) is broken or not cus games crashes and IT DOESNT let cinebenchmark run at all

[fallen cedar]

depending on reso and refreshrate

[fresh ermine]

That's why I prefer ultrawide 1440p by using rx 6950 xt instead of a rtx 4070 ti

[fallen cedar]

ye I wouldnt go 4070ti anyways but w/e

[fresh ermine]

At least it can run Minecraft bedrock rtx and java shader smoothly

In a high fps with better value

[manic torrent]

My point is more... my 3080ti and 5700x at 4k120hz is great. A 4090 would be "better" - but unlikely to provide a meaningful difference in quality or gameplay.

[fresh ermine]

+less better value

Btw since we are talking about rtx 4090s

Why I saw news reports claiming that a rtx 4090 can crack passwords easily?

[low rain]

Thinking ab sleeping early today

[runic lagoon]

every generation crack hases faster then the last. But you have to have the hashes to start off with.

[manic torrent]

probably garbage - unless you have a specific link or detail, I'll regard it as junk

[manic torrent]

and it's not news.

[fresh ermine]

https://www.extremetech.com/internet/340307-rtx-4090-sets-new-records-in-password-cracking-benchmarks

[manic torrent]

yeah soooo... that wasn't what you said

[fresh ermine]

Whatever

[manic torrent]

also, yeah. it's more powerful. It will do things faster.

[runic lagoon]

ushally what happens is a site gets hacked, all the hashes get dumped. ANd then people will try to crack the hashs. What ever passwords they crack. They'll then use those password / email on a bunch of websites. They're hoping some one re-used passwords.

this is why people shouldn't use the same password, or similar passwords, on diffrent sites.

[manic torrent]

"rtx 4090 can crack passwords easily" vs "rtx4090 is the fastest at cracking passwords" - those two things are VERY different.

[tired glade]

Depends on password

Both can be true statement

[velvet hazel]

I have a dead board fuckkkk

[wary summit]

L

[vapid smelt]

easy fix just buy a new one

or rma

[velvet hazel]

Dude my board is so fucked I can’t use the power button to turn my pc off

[wary summit]

pull the plug

[velvet hazel]

I can use the power button to turn it on but it doesn’t shut off unless I turn it off via the power supply

[vapid smelt]

have you tried shorting the pins on the mbo

[velvet hazel]

Which ones

The Cmos?

[fallen cedar]

the ones that connect to the power button. SW Power

[velvet hazel]

Where’s that

Or what is it called so I can find it

[fallen cedar]

its called power SW + and - on the mobo 😄

[vapid smelt]

the one labeled power

[velvet hazel]

Wouldn’t solve the issue that the QLeds aren’t showing up

[fresh ermine]

Can ipad mini 6th gen take 4k pics?

[velvet hazel]

Google.com

[wary summit]

technically yes but no

4K is 3680 x 2160

[velvet hazel]

Ok @wary summit could I get RGB and fans and lights and everything to spin up even if the motherboard was dead

[random jolt]

think it's the same 12mp as the rest of the ios devices, takes pics in 4032x3024 res

[unkempt widget]

well 3840

[wispy marsh]

That's your IRL hair

[wind pulsar]

Nuh, my hair irl would be much longer if I applied my proportions to my chara

[forest valve]

Think I just locked myself out of SSH of a server located in Canada and I'm in the US

🤔🤔🤔

[desert dagger]

sadtrombone

[near nymph]

😂

[forest valve]

Good thing I took backups last week at least, all I need to do is reinstall proxmox and then restore backups from OVH backup storage. So lost basically nothing

Just a pain in the butt

Wait a minute, I might have a saving grace, I'm dumb, just need to open a port temporarily, because I was accessing proxmox GUI via ssh tunnel before

Will report back with my geniusness

🙏 (please work)

[wary canyon]

Why doesn't anyone make any large (Like 40+") 1440p non-ultrawide displays?

[heady flicker]

no one wants to count pixels

[wary canyon]

But 40-45" is my best sweetspot size for a monitor & anything smaller is just so limiting, but 1080p is too pixilated for my liking, & 4K tends to have issues with text scaling (Especially in Valve Games)

[forest valve]

I'm in (for now)

HUGE BRAIN

LETS GOOOOOOO saved myself hours

Thank you SSH gods 🙏🙏🙏🙏

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO @desert dagger @near nymph it's because my domain expired 💀💀💀💀

I wasn't actually locked out

[desert dagger]

smh

[ashen zodiac]

bing AI is my best friend

[near nymph]

Tf who let's their fucking domain expire

[ashen zodiac]

holy crap this is awesome

[forest valve]

me being broke

[ashen zodiac]

manjaro linux. 3 times.

[near nymph]

Tf you got a server in Canada whilein the USA

[forest valve]

OVH

I'm not paying for the actual server just domain

[near nymph]

Just pay for a domain from cloud flare

$9 a year for a domain?

Maybe less

[patent fog]

Ovh brings back memories. OVH and Digital Ocean lol

The main VPS' we bought

[near nymph]

Vultr is what I got with and digital ocean

[unkempt imp]

Shit man. I pay $12 a year for a domain through google

[delicate jacinth]

drop

[royal sail]

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

[wispy marsh]

Balenciaga

[limber crest]

Specifically with 40 fs

Nevermind the bot didn't like that...

[rancid bloom]

Can't wait until I go to Uni, then I will have the perfect setup

[patent fog]

Sounds too much lot of work.

[patent fog]

Lol, going to uni won't automatically give you the perfect setup

[rancid bloom]

I'm aware

but by then I will have saved enough money
I will be able to setup my desk and my room as I want it

Going to get an M2 Macbook air + iPhone 14 to start

[patent fog]

Good luck with that. The college debt these days I think are higher than ever, and getting a job is not as easy as it used to be.

[rancid bloom]

College != Uni in this country

I'm in college rn, for free

and Uni debt is not bad in the UK

you pay it back after earning over 27K a year, and its like a small amount each month

and after 40 years it's written off entirely. And student loans don't take a hit on your credit score

[ebon otter]

anyone else up at 1:30

[patent fog]

Of course. In the US, I hear the federal loans are stuck with you for life. But it does drop of the credit report after 7 years just like every other debt

[near nymph]

Meow.

[wary summit]

since when was aquifina associated with pepsi

[patent fog]

Idk, afaik, coke and Pepsi are just one and the same with every drink at this point. Who cares?

[slim mirage]

Na they different

[slim mirage]

Are you in Scotland I think our student loans and stuff are slightly better with repayment and things like that

[rancid bloom]

England

[slim mirage]

Sorry for your loss

[near nymph]

Scotland is just better

[slim mirage]

[frozen violet]

Is it just me or is the TechLinked YT account suspended for breaking the Terms of Service?

[heady flicker]

seems like it

[gusty oasis]

Rip my 5am techlinked

[plucky river]

just noticed TL was gone because I had a video on my watch later playlist and "1 unavailable video is hidden"

[dull tapir]

who is a mod i can contact here about people keep keep tagging and spamming, trolling, mocking me even with new accounts after i block them

far too many immature people that keep trolling

[full fossil]

why would you even do such a thing whats the point

[dull tapir]

because each hour i get new notification of someone spamming me clown emojis

[full fossil]

i mean them i get why you would report that lol

[plucky river]

DMs?

[dull tapir]

because it is against the rules

[dull tapir]

first in the server and when i block them they dm me from alt account

[tawdry musk]

Uni loans aren't included in credit history reports in Australia, so you can keep on studying until you hit your $100,000 limit

[dull tapir]

i am not even able to participate in the server without people telling new people to call me clown because they are offended

and i get new people as middlemen telling me they were told to tell me that

[full fossil]

i just said i agreed with that you want to report it.
I mean like the people that spam you why would they do that theres no fkn point

[unkempt widget]

bruh creating new accounts to bypass getting blocked is literally against the tos

[dull tapir]

my bad yes idk i guess they are immature even if i try to help a person here they are like "do not listen to scam artist" or "revan is a clown" very immature

[unkempt widget]

also who is doing that?

[dull tapir]

it is really immature and pathetic behavior

[full fossil]

thats immature yes lmao

[tawdry musk]

@dull tapir Everyone is being spammed, all you can do is report it

[full fossil]

my small brother wouldnt even do that

[dull tapir]

where can i report people i only know how to block

[unkempt widget]

wait wait wait

[full fossil]

not me tho

[unkempt widget]

are you the guy from cyberpunk?

[dull tapir]

i can send you screenshots but i am not allowed to upload in public

i am not from cyberpunk but i like cyberpunk

[tawdry musk]

The button that says report

[dull tapir]

my bad i can can only see a block option

i have had mature interactions in these server except in keyboard room

[tawdry musk]

Report as spam disappears When you engage in conversation

[dull tapir]

ohh you meant a message itself i can see thank i appreciate it i thought if you could do user itself

[unkempt widget]

damn

[unkempt widget]

no, you could report a user themself

[wary summit]

holy shit you're back

[tawdry musk]

I think you're just venting your emotional frustrations in a public chat, have you considered ignoring it and moving on?

[wary summit]

hi steve nice to see you again

[tawdry musk]

I'm a yoyo

[wary summit]

why u back

[tawdry musk]

Dinner is cooking and it's easy to talk shit, haven't been banned yet 🤷‍♂️

[wary summit]

[unkempt widget]

[wary summit]

[tawdry musk]

YouTube has been hacked, that's why the channels are down
