[thorny axle]

Why should I care

[full fossil]

Well funded school jeez. The "tech office" in my school is just me and a few friends that are good with tech lol

[thorny axle]

We have 2 laser cutters ($10k or 20k each) and 2 3d printers (Ultimaker 3s or something like that)

[chrome vector]

We are one. I R2Buff4UD2, and you, R2Fancy4UD2

[full fossil]

I even do the recomendations for the laptops and other tech

[thorny axle]

A school near us has more than 10x that

They are well funded

[full fossil]

private?

[thorny axle]

Both public

[near nymph]

Did that guy come back again?

[full fossil]

What the actual fuck

[chrome vector]

Just ping the LTT staff already, get it over with

[thorny axle]

Both in the state that your pfp is from, just a different part

That pfp is more from the redneck section

[full fossil]

My pfp is parody. I'm british

[thorny axle]

Yep, but the actual original is from my state

[full fossil]

nah

Pinged staff for no reason

[thorny axle]

One of the license plates in my state

[full fossil]

this is just some random dud idk

[full fossil]

It's highly modified though

[thorny axle]

It’s still obvious, at least for me

[spring drum]

Isn't shitposting against the rules in this server?

[wispy marsh]

S&V potato crisps belong on a bacon banana pizza. Yes or no?

[chrome vector]

He's gone

oh my lordy

it worked

[full fossil]

My school uses think workstations that look like they were built in 1997 but in reality they were purchased last year and have 32 core threadripper pro's. Guess my school is well funded lol

[thorny axle]

It’s basically a redneck thing to say, “don’t take my guns”

[spring drum]

So many incorrect words just came out of your mouth

[full fossil]

YAY, I pinged mods 4 times today

[wispy marsh]

[spring drum]

Make it a republican thing

[thorny axle]

Ours has some Xeon desktops with like 8 cores each

[dawn anchor]

How do I measure CPU cooler height?

[thorny axle]

Or something like that

[chrome vector]

That's why I told him to ping the lmg staff, I figured something would be done then lol

[thorny axle]

It really is, at least in my state

Idk about elsewhere

[dawn anchor]

This cooler is 148mm and i'm not sure if there's any information about this case other than its SKU. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/381193783296917507/1095193830858428538/MG_0070.JPG

[full fossil]

The engineering dept has a similar ammout of equipment to the main building ltt workshop lol

They got too much funding

[spring drum]

Texas orflorida?

[thorny axle]

lol. I think there’s about 40 of these PCs, we just got them this year

[full fossil]

Data scientists deserve more

[thorny axle]

Previously they were i7 4th gen

[fluid ridge]

data scientists should make 0 dollars

[thorny axle]

You should have 0 dollars

[spring drum]

Fuck you

[fluid ridge]

i can also read off graphs but nobody pays me to do that

[full fossil]

32 think workstations with 32 core amd threadrippers are not enough these days lol /s

[fluid ridge]

ahem so according to the data the more you wear your seatbelt the less likely you are to die

thank you for coming to my ted talk 🙏

[thorny axle]

These only have like 8 cores each

Not quite that well funded

And the best software we get: Autodesk inventor

They removed Fusion 360 and CFD

[echo canopy]

autodesk is a fucking nightmare

[full fossil]

Just go to a very well funded school that only exists because the government is begging kids to become engineers

[thorny axle]

You’re a nightmare

[full fossil]

I use it and it's fine lol

[thorny axle]

That’s basically the other school I was talking about

Look up USNews best high schools USA, it will be #1

[fluid ridge]

eh autodesk is very generous - they give you all of their software for free if you are a university/college student iirc

[thorny axle]

Idk about world rankings, maybe still

[full fossil]

10 quid a year on one school

[echo canopy]

maybe the other part of it but fusion 360 is buggy as shit.

[thorny axle]

works fine for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full fossil]

i've used it for forever and it's fine.

[thorny axle]

Maybe you need to try turning your computer off and on again

[near nymph]

A very generous predator.

They shaft you once you get out of school

[full fossil]

Always do this before doing any other troubleshooting lol

[echo canopy]

I have, sometimes it hangs for minutes on end doing basic shit. Its not even that bad of a pc if a little underpowered.

[fluid ridge]

what you mean you actually have to start paying for the software?

[thorny axle]

Wow. Who knew you had to pay for software

[fluid ridge]

you just expected them to give perpetual free licenses to everyone who has attended post secondary? lol?

[thorny axle]

How outrageous! Let’s start a riot!

[full fossil]

Thinkpad with 64gb of ram can't handle fusion 360 so now I need a laptop with even more ram 💀

[thorny axle]

Did it about 10 times with my school laptop

[fluid ridge]

the fact that you get a software suite other people and companies literally pay tens of thousands of dollars annually for is insanely kind of them already

[near nymph]

Yeah. Lmfao

[thorny axle]

Spent 2 hours

[fluid ridge]

[thorny axle]

How about M2 max with 96 GB

[near nymph]

You get used to it... Cause you learned from it. Then your employee needs to pay dem hefty fees or if you want yourself that too

[thorny axle]

That went right over your head like an arrow over a dead horse

[full fossil]

They gave the engineering dpt lifetime licenses and I was given 1 for my personal laptop lol

[fluid ridge]

i mean autodesk makes software almost nobody else makes so you're going to learn it and use it either way if you are in that field lol

[fluid ridge]

that is again insanely generous for them to do

[thorny axle]

Autodesk gets an uncalled for amount of haters

[near nymph]

I'm not asking for perpetual licenses. It's just fucking expensive 😂

[fluid ridge]

a lifetime license for any autodesk software id imagine reaches thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars

[fluid ridge]

it's not designed to cater to everyone

[thorny axle]

That how stuff is

[fluid ridge]

it is extremely niche, extremely excludable, extremely well made software that becomes the industry standard

[thorny axle]

You get your employer to pay for it instead

[thorny axle]

^

And when software is industry standard, it’s expensive as hell

everyone uses it, so they can charge insane rates

[fluid ridge]

yessir

[thorny axle]

Welcome to the world of controversy and economics

[full fossil]

the government created a program were they would give stupid amounts of money to new schools and lots of corporate support so that they could become UTC's and hopefully create future engineers

[thorny axle]

Aka: the real world

[fluid ridge]

i think its more basic if you break it down into supply and demand

when your thing you make has insane demand and you are the only one making it, you end up driving buggatis 💪

[steep girder]

In a utopia, software developers can continue to program after starving to death?

[full fossil]

Andrew cake

[fluid ridge]

also lockheed martin needs engineers somehow

gotta keep the MIC running

[thorny axle]

Demand: engineers good, engineers need software, engineers make company lots money
Supply: one place makes industry standard, place want money

Supply + Demand: place money burn, software take big money

[full fossil]

I got pre university job offers because I did well at a joint corporate school event lol. I'm set.

[steep girder]

No big deal. Just gotta design an F1 car 9999x faster with no pavement to hug

[full fossil]

Not from lockheed

[fluid ridge]

from raytheon? honeywell? general electric?

[full fossil]

Can't say

[thorny axle]

Oof

[fluid ridge]

engineering students feeling their morals and ethics leaving their bodies after the first raytheon paycheck comes in:

[spring drum]

Probably signed an Nda or sth

[spring drum]

Bitch I was already morally deficient there's no need to encourage me

[fluid ridge]

[full fossil]

no cause of age but I've been told that if I tell anyone specifics the offer will be retracted

[steep girder]

There's nothing immoral or unethical about making stealth bomber

At least nothing that can be seen

[full fossil]

The tests are fun for the whole family

[fluid ridge]

this guy is coping

[spring drum]

I mean sure it may feel slightly bad about my creation bombing some unsuspecting family in Uzbekistan or something but it's a fat paycheck I'll be making so I think I can turn a blind eye

[fluid ridge]

when that same bomber ends up shitting all over some middle eastern orphanage as america does we will pretend like it's for the greater good

Northrop Grumman when one of their drones absolutely annihilates a van full of afghani children fr

[full fossil]

Someone needs to do the job lol Money is money and engineers want more of it

[indigo plume]

Had to turn off xmp profiles was causing my games to crash

[spring drum]

Have you even seen my bio

[indigo plume]

Why is slow mode in this server so long

[thorny axle]

I’ll be the nuclear engineer designing the bomb, then switch to the aerospace engineer designing the missile/plane

Classic double major

[fluid ridge]

[full fossil]

Because spam, was 3min when channel got hacked

[tribal topaz]

is thier a movies channel?

[steep girder]

Coping with what? I don't make stealth bombers lol. But honestly, the stealth bomber could end up fighting for actual freedom. Probably way smaller chance but still...

[fluid ridge]

fuck man at that point you may as well be the pilot too

[indigo plume]

Isnt 5 seconds enough

[spring drum]

I'm already struggling trying to comprehend the magic portion of physics c so I think I'll do a single major. Thank you.

[indigo plume]

To stop spam

[full fossil]

Might aswell be the president giving the order too

[thorny axle]

Which physics c are you taking?

[spring drum]

Electric and Magnetic rn

[steep girder]

There is no pilot at mach 6.9 unless it's CPU

[thorny axle]

Does your school do both in one year?

[spring drum]

Yeah, Mech and E/M

[thorny axle]

Our school only has mech, I have to self study E&M

[spring drum]

It's ap so I wouldn't expect any less

[full fossil]

I wanna do mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering and computer science lol

I already don't sleep some days

[thorny axle]

From how it looks, you don’t really use a lot of the scary formulas on the sheet, like the surface integral

[steep girder]

Brb gonna yaw slightly 10 degrees.

left eye explodes

[thorny axle]

I was thinking aerospace, nuclear, and physics

All 3 are very interesting to me, hard to choose one in particular

[full fossil]

Good choice tbf

[brave lodge]

hey

[thorny axle]

Aerospace definitely the best job opportunity

[brave lodge]

im back :D

[steep girder]

Or alternatively brb gotta land this thing

[brave lodge]

i ordered myself a sexy zoom75

[plush quarry]

Does anyone know what song 12:01 uses

[thorny axle]

At least I’m doing well in Physics C M, now I have to cope with the rest of my APs 💀

[brave lodge]

happy tbh

[thorny axle]

Time to die

[steep girder]

What is the temperature currently

[spring drum]

Biggest ones being Gauss' (Electric) and Ampere's (Magnetic) Laws

[thorny axle]

I took a practice test, did fine on he MCQ (only did half), didn’t try anything else yet because computer dead

[forest valve]

I would consider keeping myself safe if I ever did that

[brave lodge]

idk

[steep girder]

True

[brave lodge]

keyboard....

[full fossil]

is the m1 or m2 better for cooling?

[brave lodge]

too fucking hot. my room is a god damn sauna.

[full fossil]

hell no

[thorny axle]

M2 air is the only one you might have to worry about if you need a sustained load

Everything else is 200% fine for anything reasonable

[brave lodge]

sent u the kb

[full fossil]

so the m2 overheats ?

[merry gull]

aaaahahaha new pfp i hate it.

[brave lodge]

[thorny axle]

After several minutes of cinebench

If you’re just web browsing, it’s perfectly fine

[full fossil]

wth is cinebench

[thorny axle]

Pain for computers

[full fossil]

this was a joke btw

[thorny axle]

Think if your computer was a masochist, that’s what you’d do for it

[real iron]

Is there a specific sub section for parts advice

[full fossil]

French terrorism

[thorny axle]

Domestic terrorism

[steep girder]

Wait M2 heats room as well?

[thorny axle]

Speaking of domestic terrorism, I should go see my friend

[full fossil]

m1 ooverheta too?

[steep girder]

SoC was the best shot lol. I think we reached the point where it's time to consider room cooling as well 😛

[cerulean crane]

What’s an app I can use to make sure my drive is the capacity t it’s supposed to be

[thorny axle]

Get the THD2048HT

[cerulean crane]

For example. Says 16tb but I’m trying to make sure it’s 16tb

[thorny axle]

Clears your room in less than one minute

At the cost of 93 dB

You probably don’t want it on 24/7

[full fossil]

Man I need help finding a new good graphics card. I want to play in vr

I saw a 400 dollar amd graphics card with 16 gb of vram

[frosty cape]

Someone help me out in tech chat 1

[thorny axle]

It’s 16 TB if windows says it’s 14.552 TB

[cerulean crane]

Trying to make sure it’s not fake

[thorny axle]

Fill it up with files until you reach 16 TB

[cerulean crane]

That’s why I need an app to see what the actual size it

[thorny axle]

Then test every file

If it works, it’s 16 TB

[full fossil]

Look at videos that defraud those flash drives

They show off the hardware in those videos

[fleet yacht]

I am trying to find a linux distro because I am getting bored of arch

[steep girder]

Guys we're crunching numbers so fast that it raises entire room temp by 1C in under an hour. Maybe it's time to consider alternatives to electricity or superconductor idk

Or lower voltage

[cerulean crane]

Can’t post photos here shit

[steep girder]

Or cram all transistors closer together somehow to reduce distance electricity travels

[cerulean crane]

#tech-chat-1

[steep girder]

But if all else fails, just extend heat pipes to window. Raising entire atmosphere temp is the next milestone

[fleet yacht]

if I had to pick between FreeBSD, Gentoo, Fedora, Alpine or Void

[steep girder]

Again, my idea was just sockets like electrical or cable/ethernet... only it's copper that leads to giant radiator outside of house

So you just plug in your PC with heat conductive cable to the wall and it carries heat outside. No more heat.

[eager notch]

So I can get 10 gig internet

I have no idea what the use for 10 gig internet in a residential setting is, but I can get it

[steep girder]

Alternative solution available is open window but it sucks in the summer because 30C room and 28C outside are both hot.

[vapid smelt]

took yall long enough

[rose cloak]

Hey guys,
Is 88-98 celsius normal for i9 13900kf while running cinebenchmark?

[rose cloak]

Yo 😂

[fluid ridge]

for what reason?

[glass sable]

You and everybody you know could play Minecraft at the same time

[fluid ridge]

the G force?

[eager notch]

What do you use it for?

[fluid ridge]

i thought fighter pilots and stuff had those g force suits that let them negate the forces

[steep girder]

Human reaction time of #1 Quake player is not enough to engage in maneuvers

[fluid ridge]

they clearly haven't seen me yet

[vapid smelt]

nothing i have the option buts its $170 and my house is wired with cat 5e

[velvet marsh]

cat 5e will do 10g

[vapid smelt]

oh

[steep girder]

Yeah but you're way past that even above mach 1 pretty sure. I remember seeing documentary where it said for a while now pilots don't even touch manual controls above a certain speed

[velvet marsh]

up to 40m I believe

[fluid ridge]

i c

[steep girder]

There's like hard limits where fighter jet going above certain velocity = no manual control

Or maybe you can still override it but either way you're not supposed to lol. Maximum Gs a human can take was something like 8

And I think that's even with the suit

[thorny axle]

Yes, voltage

[thorny axle]

Only helps so much

[steep girder]

Don't the suits make it more comfortable

and they don't really do anything significant in terms of g force limit?

[thorny axle]

I mean, I’m not sure how a suit would protect you much from an acceleration

Particularly of that magnitude

[steep girder]

Yeah exactly lol. Unless you somehow keep all of the blood from leaving brain or vice versa

[thorny axle]

Yeah, good luck with that

[median ridge]

google tells me this:

The trousers are fitted with inflatable bladders which, when pressurized through a g-sensitive valve in the aircraft or spacecraft, press firmly on the abdomen and legs, thus restricting the draining of blood away from the brain during periods of high acceleration.

wikipedia as its source lol

[steep girder]

My buddy in aviation said the blood leaving head is better case scenario. Blood rushing into head is the red out which can like pop blood vessels lol

Either way, you go unconscious, see just red or both.

[thorny axle]

I guess that could help with blackout, but only to a certain extent I imagine

[median ridge]

yeah, i guess they just slow the process down

[thorny axle]

And as the other guy said, redout also exists

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have something that helps with that too, but you don’t really want to be at 10g levels of acceleration anyway

And definitely don’t want to be trying to control that

[median ridge]

you simply cannot 100% prevent anything from not happening, you can slow things down to a certain extent but thats just life

[thorny axle]

To our knowledge, yep

The universe has set limits for us, most of which are asymptotically difficult to reach

[steep girder]

Either way, the goal is to get rid of human pilot seat entirely pretty sure. The fact that there's an ejection seat says enough lol. Even then, as soon as you eject, you're flying faster than terminal velocity

Enough wind to rip off one's face = limit of pure physics to me

Thank god for suit I guess

[thorny axle]

Understatement of the century lol

Like 10 times terminal velocity

[fluid ridge]

you know our laws of physics probably dont apply in some galaxies

i remember seeing a reddit post about how a newly discovered star system that did not fit in accordance to our current understanding of physics

[thorny axle]

Last I checked, as far as we’re aware, most are just the same

[thorny axle]

Could you point me that way

[crystal ocean]

i mean the force of gravity is diffrent which would effect physics but not alter their function entirely

[manic torrent]

.... yes, they work very well, and if you don't have one, you will black out.

here are some links, if you want to find the reddit post i think you can just google "galaxy that defies physics reddit" or "galaxy that defies understanding reddit"

as a result of the james webb telescope 👁️

[manic torrent]

ehhhhhh, not so much galaxies, but yes there are other ways things could owrk

we'll work it out eventually

[steep girder]

Search big rip

[fluid ridge]

yeah so i was saying that someone somewhere probably has sick ass super powers

i wish it was me

[steep girder]

There's the big bang. Then there's an apparent big rip. They call it a big rip because that's what it looks like lol

[manic torrent]

I have a super power

[crystal ocean]

physics is cool becuase we dont understand it fully we have a decent grasp just there is things we cant explain

[fluid ridge]

[manic torrent]

I can visualise complex dynamic systems

[fluid ridge]

i did a systems thinking course this semester i like to think im somewhat of a complex dynamic systems visualizer myself too

[manic torrent]

yeah nah

[fluid ridge]

ok bro ill have you know i did my final paper on the various systems that affect british columbia's pacific salmon population

various causal loop diagrams, leverage points, archetypes, yada yada

[manic torrent]

I don't rate your cognitive abilities highly

[fluid ridge]

[thorny axle]

Let’s wait for them to confirm before we start saying that our laws of physics are entirely distant in different galaxies

[steep girder]

Visualize as in relate something to a 2d projection of 3d euclidean space?

[fluid ridge]

i feel like it's kind of hard to confirm the laws of physics on something based on photons that are millions of years old and extrapolations from a really high quality camera

but i could be wrong, ill just wait until spacex starts selling flights to the nearest sun with layovers on mars 🗿

[crystal ocean]

that would be cool

[thorny axle]

💀

[crystal ocean]

if we get nuclear fusion to work on earth]

[thorny axle]

I think you mean Fusion…

[crystal ocean]

ye typo

[thorny axle]

We already have fission

[gilded quest]

Boy do I have some great news for ya

[manic torrent]

no, as in a full 3D system, but also concepts. like networks and layers of communication.

In other words, what I'm stupid at

[manic torrent]

it doesn't work like that

[thorny axle]

You get a D-

D for diploma, feel proud

[thorny axle]

“Complex”

Do you have something a bit more… “complex”?

[steep girder]

I mean complex is just a sum value of terms that aren't orderable with respect to one another.

[manic torrent]

If you don't think that's complex then you haven't done much physics

[crystal ocean]

draw me a robot that can pick up a inline 6 block by the piston head using inserts that expand in the bore holes to pick the block up and flip it upside down so the under parts can be installed (sorry for grammer its midnight)

[thorny axle]

The quotes are for you, implying a lack of respect and the thought that it is incredibly simple to say “I can visualize complex…”

[manic torrent]

why would you do that vs just... using an engine stand

[near nymph]

Draw me a robot that will give me a handy.

[crystal ocean]

becuase we need to make 36 engines a day not 1

[thorny axle]

All it showed was your lack of humbleness and ability to pick up on something as simple as that

I really don’t see how that’s supposed to be complex

[manic torrent]

... because you don't understand physics.

[steep girder]

More than one type of thing counted separately

[manic torrent]

it's a rotating crane arm with a movable gantry with a pulley, and the winch moves the load as well

[thorny axle]

wow

I just don’t think you have done anything particularly complex yet

[manic torrent]

..... yeah I really don't give a shit

[thorny axle]

Right now, there’s hardly 10 parts

[near nymph]

Calm ya horses

[crystal ocean]

Woah woah dont diss cranes like that cranes are a son of a bitch to design

[manic torrent]

.... 10 parts?

[wispy marsh]

[manic torrent]

the number of parts are irrelevant.

[steep girder]

I mean if it's not that complex for you, you should be able to design a crane like that and build it yourself lol

[manic torrent]

it's about the forces and how they interact

[thorny axle]

Sure, the difference is thinking of something like that

[manic torrent]

Next you'll be telling me trebuchets are simple

[thorny axle]

Doing some calculations with that would definitely be better

[manic torrent]

... which is a completely different skill

[crystal ocean]

cranes are shockingly complex like the smallest issue will cause the crane to collapse

[thorny axle]

All you’ve shown me so far is a hand drawing of an arguably simple crane design on orthographic paper

[neon mesa]

why does those one of a kind softwares that is exactly what you're looking for and works like a charm always have a sus website and 2009 UI

[steep girder]

The wheel
One part. Took us like 69000 years after we drew stick figures fighting on a wall

[crystal ocean]

soild works moment imo

[manic torrent]

yes, a hand drawing (also that's an old photo)

[thorny axle]

Doing calculations for one is definitely more complex than a hand drawing of one

[wary summit]

guess the price

[near nymph]

$300?

[vapid smelt]

59

[manic torrent]

but as I said, the calculations is NOT the same as being able to see the dynamic forces in your head

[crystal ocean]

mechanical engineer? im gueesing

[manic torrent]

the calculations generally come after taht approximation

[wary summit]

300 yuan

[manic torrent]

no, but I play one on TV

[thorny axle]

Seeing the forces is something you use to create differential equations to solve for

[wary summit]

and I overlubed the R key

[thorny axle]

Basically making a FBD in your head

[wary summit]

it sounds so fuckin wet ☔

[crystal ocean]

lol

[thorny axle]

At least in a perfect world

[manic torrent]

with spherical cows.

[high nymph]

hi i have one doubt is Deepcool 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold gonna handle ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity OC

[thorny axle]

In our flawed world, you often need numberic approximations, which is hard to call “solving”

[crystal ocean]

what cpu

[thorny axle]

But I suppose it’s the best we have

[high nymph]

i9 9900k cpu is old

[idle nymph]

It Will Handle prolly look at psu cultist tierlist

[high nymph]

or for safe side i get 1000w psu ?

[manic torrent]

The hardest thing about this fucking crane is that ... people don't make cranes for PCs, and they generally don't make cranes to go in offices, or to be this size/etc. So I'm just throwing science against the wall and seeing what sticks.

(yes, it's not science, it's engineering, but then it wouldn't be a quote from portal)

and I'm doing this purely for my own amusement.

[gilded plinth]

i love that every time I'm here I see you talking about the crane

[manic torrent]

it's the project that keeps on giving

[thorny axle]

Do you at least know how much it can hold?

[high nymph]

@crystal ocean cpu is i9 9900k should i get 1000w psu

[thorny axle]

Or have you literally just thrown a few pieces of wood together and called it engineering

[manic torrent]

the aim is to have a SWL of 50kg.

[crystal ocean]

i mean sure

[thorny axle]

Are you going to determine that and test it? Or just test until it breaks

[manic torrent]

lol, yes, I have just thrown pieces of wood together.

[crystal ocean]

oh wow for that size

pretty cool

[high nymph]

@crystal ocean Deepcool 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold is not enough ?

[gilded quest]

This is precisely what engineering school taught me is engineering

[manic torrent]

no I'm just making shit up. I don't have to prove shit to you.

[full fossil]

I'd go with a brand like seasonic if I were you

[thorny axle]

Who ever said you did

I asked you to draw something incredibly simple and you just went on with the crane

[manic torrent]

it's currently sitting above me with a 5kg test weight on it

Also there were a lot of cranes on the outskirts of saint petersburg. Also they built like apartment building lol

[thorny axle]

You get to solve for trusses in high school engineering, so you can finally design that crane you wanted

Then in college you get to do more fun stuff to actually get answers

[manic torrent]

it's currently a 1M rotating section, that has a 90 degreee arc. The ultimate goal is that meets up with a fixed 1.5m section that the gantry traverses on to so the PC can go over to the side.

it's also counterweighted against my monitors which are on an up/down movable platform

which I call the monitor crucifix

[spice sand]

test

[crystal ocean]

damn thats cool i mean i play with a crane at work but thats cool cause its like different its a cool project

[steep girder]

So how to read properly the maximum weight rating of steel cable and where to order it lol

[manic torrent]

yeah I keep upgrading everything 🙂

[manic torrent]

you can just buy it from the hardware store 🙂

[thorny axle]

Tensile strength and cross sections

Or just ask the hardware guy

[manic torrent]

I mean it's literally written on the packet

[thorny axle]

Even better

[steep girder]

Oh. Well cross section idk. That sounds like actually engineering steel cable itself

[thorny axle]

Just basically how thick it is (specifically the area when you look down the cable the thin way)

[manic torrent]

2mm^2 - two of them. plenty for my purpose

[thorny axle]

Sort of hard to describe, easy to point out

[steep girder]

Hardware guy or rating lol. The rating is what the cable should hold in theory lol.

As for cross section idk but there's also the weave of it and how many strands idk all that stuff.

[thorny axle]

Ignore what I said, just look at the rating

[manic torrent]

no, that's not how rating works

[steep girder]

Isn't nanosteel the pinnacle of strength?

[thorny axle]

Cross section is if you’re not already given the rating

[manic torrent]

the rating is the SAFE load.

bearing in mind it's a force loading, not a weight loading.

[wind pulsar]

The SWL doesn't really say anything, it's just the safe working load. To actually snap e.g a steel wire, there's seperate numbers at hand

[thorny axle]

What’s the typical safety factor between snap and safe

[steep girder]

Yeah but in practice there's murphy's law lol. Safe to load to me means that if it doesn't, you're within your right to RMA it lol

[thorny axle]

Or rather, vice versa

[thorny axle]

Safe Load means it’s Safe to Load that much

[manic torrent]

yeahhhh.... no. RMA doesn't help you when you drop shit on someone and they die.

[steep girder]

Either way I remember before I tripped about 50 kg. Thinking about it, bowflex and all those gym machines hold like 200lbs with a steel cable too. It's not even a cm thick lol

I always thought about one snapping lmao. 200lbs steel cable snaps is that dangerous?

[manic torrent]

this is why regular maintenance and inspections are necessary

[thorny axle]

I mean, it’s probably under 200lbs of tension

You could fall backwards, hit yourself

[manic torrent]

and the cable would whip out and could cause serious damage

[thorny axle]

Maybe it snaps at you? I doubt it though

[thorny axle]

Would it?

[manic torrent]

depending on where it broke, yadda yadda

[thorny axle]

I suppose if your arms went down you’d pull it out like a whip

Which, I suppose, is what would likely happen

[manic torrent]

but the thing is, for most of those sort of things, cranes etc, There is no "fail safe" - if the steel cable brakes, the baby falls. That's it.

So "SWL" isn't just a "lol she'll be right" number.

[thorny axle]

As well, they probably have like a 10x safety factor

Actually, maybe not

[manic torrent]

haha you'd like to think so

[steep girder]

Yeah that's what I was talking about lol.

[thorny axle]

My father used to work on a crane, and he said when he’d lift up something super heavy, the whole arm would flex downward

[steep girder]

Assuming full 200lbs load

[thorny axle]

So come to think of it, they probably don’t have that high of a safety factor

[manic torrent]

that's expected though.

[thorny axle]

does the cable at least?

[manic torrent]

nothing close to 10x, closer to 2 more often

[thorny axle]

I mean, to a certain extent, sure

He’s an engineer and he said he was still surprised how much it flexed

[manic torrent]

sometimes less, for special loads in special circumstances (where you would plan the entire move ahead of time and model the forces and could only do it in specific weather etc)

[manic torrent]

oh, it's terrifying.

[thorny axle]

One time though

They had a Don John’s guy come and do something in the porta potty

[steep girder]

I saw a meanwhile in russia video where they picked up something with an excavator and the whole thing tumbled over. Went over the rating of leverage max extended arm picking up weight. They don't even make ratings for this sht

[thorny axle]

But my father’s coworker (who he didn’t really like), signaled him to raise it up

[steep girder]

Brb gonna pick up something heavier than machine 😛

[thorny axle]

Obviously the portapotty is relatively light compared to concrete, so he put the crane in step 5, which really shot it up

But at the very top, he saw the Don John’s guy hanging out the door

So he immediately stopped, and let him down super gently in step 1

[steep girder]

Where'd the ground go?

[thorny axle]

Seriously

I’m sure the Don John’s guy still remembers

[steep girder]

I would. It's weird as a kid I remember planking on balcony railing like 8th story. Now I'm scared of 2m height lol

Either way...

I think the less you know the better for stunts. Screw physics

[near nymph]

I was feeling out a Festool Random Orbital Sander. Best ergonomics. Holy fuck it's $800 CAD. $200 more than a 3M Sander

[thorny axle]

mgh

[rugged bridge]

does anyone have any idea where i could sell a minecraft game key lol

[nimble junco]

[merry gull]

luckyyyy

[merry gull]

no, but u could kindly hand it over /j

[thorny axle]

Is 4 a good credit score?

[near nymph]

? What system is that?

The US system I don't think goes down to 4.

[thorny axle]

Idk the normal US system

[near nymph]

It only goes down to 300

[thorny axle]

My thing says 4

It shows a bit below the 850

Wait, I know what’s going on

It actually did a 360

I sent in #screenshots

[near nymph]

THATS POOR

wtf did you miss payments?

[thorny axle]

I’ve had it for one day

Well, technically speaking, I’ve had it for over a year, just as an authorized user

Looks like a bug in the system tbh

[wary summit]

why won't it embed

[near nymph]

Did your authorized user person miss payments?

[thorny axle]

Nono, none

Also, this is below the minimum score

[near nymph]

Your credit score shouldn't be that low then... Wtf

Minimum score is 300. I'm assuming 4 is 400

[thorny axle]

So it’s probably just a bug in their system

[thorny axle]

Look at the chart another second and see if that point looks like it’s at 400

[near nymph]

Oh...

It means 4 unfavourable ththingyouve done

It's not actually 4 as a credit score

[thorny axle]

I did the math for it, I think it’s at about the 715 point, but that isn’t the score

[near nymph]

Sign up for Credit Karma

[thorny axle]

It is, the system is just having an error

[near nymph]

Credit Karma makes viewing credit score easier. The bank credit score checker is always fucky wucky

[thorny axle]

It says it updates in a month, then I should see my actual score

[near nymph]

Yeah Credit Karma updates every week

[carmine pagoda]

just a question whats the application name that they use for the fps and cpu, gpu usage cant find it on google pls help

[thorny axle]

Tbh I don’t care that much

[near nymph]

700 ish credit score ain't the best. Ain't that good. How old are you?

[thorny axle]

I personally just find it funny that for whatever reason, there’s a 4, and it actually put it where 4 should be

[thorny axle]

It’s not 700, it’s literally 4

[near nymph]

Nah. It means there are 4 things on your file that they don't find favourable

[thorny axle]

It doesn’t, lol

Look at how the graph is, there is a 90 degree gap between the 300 and 850, and a 55 degree gap between the 850 and the 4

If you do the calculations, it’s actually spot on

270/550 * 846 - 360 should be about 55

Assuming it’s supposed to be at 4

[near nymph]

700 is not that great not that bad...

[full fossil]

you know the subreddit dedicated to actual fans

linus's april fools video should of been based around that idea

[vapid smelt]

[thorny axle]

700 is not my score, lol

Also, how would I have a credit score above 700 if I had 4 unfavorable things in my history

[near nymph]

I have 4 unfavourable things on my history. They will like it

[thorny axle]

Imagine it actually was the unfavorable things. That’d be a lot of stuff for one day

[worldly kayak]

WHY IS WAN SHOW 5 HOURS LONG 😭😭😭😭😭

[proven valley]

Bc Linus like movies

[near nymph]

@thorny axle my score. It's meh score in Canada.

[worldly kayak]

i cant do this

gonna take me a whole week to listen to the show

[vapid smelt]

im only 764

[near nymph]

Past 750 is pretty much great in Canada

[thorny axle]

Eh, seen worse

[near nymph]

I've seen a lot worse.

Mine is gonna tank at the end of the month. That's when my bank will report the credit limit increase

[rugged rapids]

For specifically modelling, is Blender better or Substance

[thorny axle]

Lol, now you’ve seen the worse

May be caused by an error, but still funny

[rugged rapids]

I can get Substance free bcz I’m a student, I’ve heard their painter is rlly good for texturing and such, but not sure for modelling which one to go for

[thorny axle]

Limit increases shouldn’t do that

[tardy terrace]

texture artists are a whole 'nother level of rad

[near nymph]

It will. Because it's more credit. It will slowly increase back doe

[thorny axle]

In principle it could raise it, as you can use a smaller fraction of the limit

[rugged rapids]

texturing is easier than modelling if u ask me

UVs suck tho

[tardy terrace]

I tried doing UV's for SecondLife, no thanks. I'm good

[near nymph]

It's seen as more risk since I have access to more credit. Long term doe. Lower utilization will help

[vapid smelt]

i raised my score by increasing my limit

[rugged rapids]

Yeah it’s very sad

[pliant karma]

mkv file? I think discord only embeds mp4 videos

[thorny axle]

What did you ask for?

[wary summit]

nope mp4 didn't work

[rugged rapids]

These are the things AI should do instead of committing bootleg plagiarism SMUWU

[near nymph]

I didn't ask. They offered a 5k increase

[wary summit]

like write shakesphere

[near nymph]

$7500 limit now

[pliant karma]

bruh discord wtf you doing lol

[rugged rapids]

Students in 20 years cursing AI instead of Shakespeare like:

[near nymph]

Considering I've blown probably a little less than 50k in 12 months... I think that offer seems reasonable

Lmfao on this credit card

[thorny axle]

Not bad

Hopefully sticking by the 10% rule?

[near nymph]

I've maxed out my card every month...

[near nymph]

30% rule

[thorny axle]

That is not the good

[near nymph]

I pay it down before statement to below 30%

[thorny axle]

Lower is better

Not 0, but lower

[pliant karma]

lol for the first time in a long time someone has called me on discord but of course as my about me says do not call me so 👀

[near nymph]

It's hard to stay under 30% with a 2500 limit...

[thorny axle]

Single digits is really the ideal

[thorny axle]

Fair enough

Hopefully the limit increase helps you

I guess I’m spoiled a bit

[tardy terrace]

people have this issue of just being randomly called on discord?..

[near nymph]

That's $750. I could spend $400 on a business meeting.

[tardy terrace]

god, i hate people

[near nymph]

What limit do you have?

[pliant karma]

fortunately yes but this time it is a student in my astronomy lecture class calling

[thorny axle]

$24k on my authorized user card

[near nymph]

WHAT THE FUCK?

[thorny axle]

Which is what I’ve been using for a year

[near nymph]

bro your parents are rich...

[pliant karma]

for god knows what reason idk but I never pick up or answer discord dms unless it is really important from a friend.

[thorny axle]

I guess

Also just good credit history helps. You just tripled your score, go do that again

[near nymph]

It's not just credit history and score. Your income needs to be high enough lol

I mean... Use that card for a few months. Grab ya own credit card I guess.

[thorny axle]

I’ve used it for a year, lol

[zenith wharf]

i need a random tech tip

[thorny axle]

I’m getting my own card probably this week

[near nymph]

Yeah. Get your own credit card lol. What card you eyeing?

[tardy terrace]

I have no credit and I've been slowly using affirm to report payments from amazon

[thorny axle]

Though I might wait for this credit score to correct itself

[pliant karma]

Last I checked I think my venture x card is at a 10k limit. But capitol one really does not specify on that card so it varies per person I guess

[thorny axle]

There’s this one navy federal card which looks pretty sweet

[pliant karma]

highest I have seen that card go to was 75k

[thorny axle]

Probably not the best, but it’s 1.75% cash back and something like 15% APR

Maybe a bit less APR? I don’t remember exactly

[near nymph]

That's the minimum credit limit for a Visa Infinite card in the USA which if I remember correctly.

[thorny axle]

My father has a 32k, that’s the highest I’ve ever seen

I think the highest it goes to is 180k

[near nymph]

All I know is that. My friend bought a brand new semi truck with his credit card

[thorny axle]

lol

So far I’ve just bought drinks

[near nymph]

What credit card are you eyeing?

Chase Cards seem to come with a good points system. Venture X is good if you like traveling for the priority pass lounge access. American Express also have good lounge access.

If you spend enough. AMEX Platinum + take advantage of the additional gold card that comes with it. Put most of the spending on the gold for the MR Points.

[thorny axle]

https://www.navyfederal.org/loans-cards/credit-cards/cash-rewards.html

This one is what I’m looking at

[vapid smelt]

50K Fake maple money?

[thorny axle]

APR is a bit high, but eh

[near nymph]

APR shouldnt even be the problem if your paying on time.

@thorny axle do you use apple pay?

[thorny axle]

Fair enough

[thorny axle]

For everything, yes

Then I just transfer from my checking to my credit card using the app

I don’t have many expenditures though, mostly just going to 7-11 and alike

[near nymph]

Apple Card is 2% back on all Apple Pay purchases. Apple (Goldman Sachs) gives to subprime people. It's likely they will give you a nice card.

Well... One with a Good credit limit

Its pretty easy to pay another card from another bank. There is usually a function to hook it into your bank account.

[thorny axle]

Is there a particular reason you don’t use it?

[near nymph]

I'm not a US Resident

You need to be a US resident for that card.

[lyric glade]

whats better for performance 11 or windows 10

[thorny axle]

Ah, definitely fair enough

[tardy terrace]

11, it's grown a long ways

[thorny axle]

I guess I just don’t 200% realize why this isn’t more widely used

[tardy terrace]

just nuke game mode, you'll be fine

[thorny axle]

Looking for the catch

[lyric glade]

how fix alt tab freeze 3-4 seconds ry 7 5800x3d

[near nymph]

WDYM there is no catch with the apple card. The catch is... You have to use Apple Pay to get 2% back. Using the physical card is 1%

[tardy terrace]

don't run exclusive fullscreen

[near nymph]

But I don't see it as a catch lol

[thorny axle]

I guess it just almost seems too good to be true

I suppose the APR is very high, which will kill a lot of people

But if you pay it off every month, you don’t even get charged for it?

[near nymph]

The Apple Card is a super popular card. 😂 Oh the other catch is... It's a MasterCard World Elite Card. Merchants incur higher acceptance fees. But that doesn't rly affect you personally just the businesses you buy from. APR is based off your credit score.

[lyric glade]

i use full screen

[near nymph]

I've seen APR as low 17%

[thorny axle]

So basically who I buy from dies and I make money

That still sounds awesome

[near nymph]

Eh... Sorta... Lol

[proven valley]

Any one know how my pc just activated windows on its own without me putting in a key?

[thorny axle]

That’s also not that bad at all

[near nymph]

APR shouldnt even be a factor if you aren't carrying a balance.

My APR on my first card on a clean credit file is 19.99%

[thorny axle]

I’m not even sure why you would carry a balance. I guess if you’re using it to extend your purchasing power? (Horrible idea)

[near nymph]

Nope. You do that when you buy something you can't afford

[thorny axle]

not too shabby. I’ve seen around 24-28 on a lot of cards

[near nymph]

Goldman Sachs is taking a massive loss on the Apple Card because they give it to subprime credit scoring people. Alot are carrying a balance doe... So they make money from interest

[near nymph]

My first card also had a $120 annual fee lmfao. I justified the annual fee doe. With the travelers insurance I got from it. And welcome bonus

[thorny axle]

The fact that they’re also losing money

[thorny axle]

Yeah, fees definitely suck when you get nothing from them

[near nymph]

My first month of having my card. I slapped a $7k transaction on it

Good times... Bank was not happy with it

[thorny axle]

lol

[thorny axle]

I thought your limit was 2500? Did you get a lower one?

[near nymph]

Naw... I put in so I had a negative balance

So I placed in like $5k. So the max spending limit would increase

[thorny axle]

Oh, I see

[near nymph]

Some banks are cool with it. Some will give you a hissy fit

[thorny axle]

So basically turned a 2k card into a 7k card

[near nymph]

Eh temporarily yes

[thorny axle]

Ofc

Wait a minute, does this apple card also prompt you to pay for it at the end of each month so you carry the balance you want?

[near nymph]

Yup... It tells you. If you wanna pay full or my minimum balance like every card

They also have auto pay

[thorny axle]

That’s also pretty cool, though Ig I’d want to control the amount I spend to single digit utilization levels

I guess it’s not like that’s hard to do

[near nymph]

You can pay before a statement date also...

To bring down utilization.

You don't rly need to bother doe... You have a authorized user card with a stupid high limit. If one card has higher utilization. It kinda balances out and not fuck ya

[thorny axle]

And apparently they have a calendar of statement dates, so that’s not too hard

[lyric glade]

how do i fix freezing ry7 5800x3d after i alt tab 3 -4 secs

[near nymph]

Stick your dick in the fan.

Not professional advice

[lyric glade]

no serios

[thorny axle]

I mean, I’m going to gradually transfer over to using my own credit (I don’t want to use my mommies credit card to buy everything forever), so I’m just wondering about what it would be like to use one

[thorny axle]

Pour dielectric grease all over the motherboard

[near nymph]

Eh... If it ain't costing her for an authorized user card. Doesn't hurt to keep it around unless you think your parents are gonna hit financial hardship

[thorny axle]

It will cool it, fixing all errors forever and ever

And raise performance by 88%

[lyric glade]

alr will do 🙂

[thorny axle]

Nono, but I guess I’d rather feel a bit more independent, I’m sure you understand

[near nymph]

Shove it in a drawer. Break Incase emergency.

[thorny axle]

Also, she doesn’t manage it will. I’m the one trying to keep track of deadlines and stuff like that

Trying to keep utilization above 0

[near nymph]

I have a credit card with a $500 CL I only expense Amazon gift card with so it keeps the card active

[thorny axle]

Also, in a few years, I’ll probably have better credit than her anyway, so I’ll just start using my own card

I guess I just don’t see the help in taking care of two cards

[near nymph]

Eh tell her to throw bills onto the card.

Even a fucking Amazon subscription 😂

[thorny axle]

So long as I think it will come in handy, I’ll hold on to it

[near nymph]

What's stopping ya from applying for the apple card right this moment?

[thorny axle]

I’m tired and my credit score is 4

[near nymph]

Oh btw. If your afraid of a hard inquiry. Apply for an AMEX US card. They do soft inquiry.

[near nymph]

It's not at 4. A Credit score can't be that low

Go sign up for credit karma right now. There is 0 chance its 4

https://www.creditkarma.com/

There is no way it's a 4 lol

[thorny axle]

Some lady just got my credit score page working today

She might’ve just put that in as a placeholder as far as I’m aware

[tardy terrace]

that's not how that works

[thorny axle]

I mean

My mother goes to the same page and sees her credit score

I go there and see 4 in the same place 4 would be if it was on the scale

[fair sage]

that wouldn't do anything for me, cause i am not from US 😄

[near nymph]

Yeah... Check thru credit karma. Seems like the app is fucked

[thorny axle]

This is the first day of having it open, so nothing has updated, they have no idea what my credit is like

[thorny axle]

That sounds like work though

[fair sage]

if he is a underage person with no card, no bank account, no loan etc, then he has no credit score

[near nymph]

He has a authorized user card in the USA. It will go on his credit file

[fair sage]

my VISA card would have 30 euro yearly fee... except my fee is 0 cause i do the required criteria to lower the fees. same for my bank account, would be 84 euros yearly, is 0 euros 😄

[near nymph]

Lol

That's for verifying. If your credit file is thin. It may take awhile

I bite off the cream then the stick

[thorny axle]

Sounds like kind of a long wait

[near nymph]

Did it not ask you questions like what was bank?

@manic torrent

[thorny axle]

I mean, I kind of closed the tab after about 5 or 10 minutes of authorizing documents

[near nymph]

Once it's setup. It's really great lol

[thorny axle]

It’s 4 AM, I’ll set it up some other time

[near nymph]

Eh sure

Also look into American Express Cards. They do soft credit pulls to see if you qualify for their card

[thorny axle]

I’m still confused why this shows my credit score as 4

[strong kettle]

salted cashews

[near nymph]

App is just fucked.

[thorny axle]

Fair enough, but why just for me

[near nymph]

Your 18+ right?

[thorny axle]

Since 4 hours ago

[near nymph]

Oh lol

[thorny axle]

That’s why I figured it would just go away in the next updating cycle

[tardy terrace]

lmao, no

[thorny axle]

Nah, I’m definitely stuck with 4 credit score

296 to go and I’m on the charts

[near nymph]

Most of the time Credit Karma is just better. Even my bank account manager dude. Told me. Yeah use credit karma. Checking thru online banking sucks

[tardy terrace]

You do realize it's only like that because you have no outstanding credit history

[thorny axle]

I have a year of using this card

[near nymph]

He has an authorized user card which reports to the credit bureaus

[tardy terrace]

you aren't assigned a decent credit score once you turn 18, you start at nothing & work your way up

[thorny axle]

Look more into authorized users

[near nymph]

In the USA. Authorized user cards do report on credit files

[thorny axle]

At least last I checked

[near nymph]

In Canada it doesn't doe... :/ Eh my parents don't have good credit anyways

[tardy terrace]

In that case contact your credit company

[thorny axle]

I did to open it

Then it just showed 4

[near nymph]

Give it some time maybe.

[thorny axle]

That’s my thought. My parents have used it for years and never has this issue, which would sort of imply that it’s temporary

[near nymph]

My credit score couldn't get pulled since it was too thin until I had a few months on my main card and another secured card to report

[near nymph]

If you aren't on any fancy phone plan. Postpaid plans do report to credit bureaus.

[thorny axle]

They did say it would be a few months when I first started

[thorny axle]

I don’t know if I am

[near nymph]

One day... My goal is to get an AMEX Platinum. Sure it has a hefty annual fee... But... Travel perks

[thorny axle]

Fully platinum cards also have low APR?

[near nymph]

Oh it's not actual Platinum. It's what the card is called. It's a piece of stainless steel

Oh fun fact the Apple Card is Titanium

[thorny axle]

Nono, of course. I meant to say don’t they?

[thorny axle]

Totally apple thing to do

[near nymph]

Platinum is a charge card. You aren't allowed to carry a balance unless you apply for financing

[thorny axle]

Huh, alright

[near nymph]

It's what the wealthy people use... Or wannabe wealthy... Or people like me who likes taking advantage of the perks

[thorny axle]

I’m a bit curious because my current card is a Mastercard platinum

[near nymph]

Pics with the numbers blocked out of course

[thorny axle]

Has like 6% APR, but that’s it

Very boring card in reality

[near nymph]

Who's the issuing bank? Navy Federal?

[thorny axle]

I believe so, yes

[near nymph]

Also... Tf is one of your parents a military person? Lol

[thorny axle]

My mother was sort of in the suit force

My father sort of in the coast guard

[near nymph]

I've seen navy Federal. It looks like the best CU out of the others I've been down in Florida for a month

[thorny axle]

Neither were active duty

[thorny axle]

Yeah, I like it, whatever that means

[near nymph]

Credit Union = CU

[thorny axle]

Yes, ofc

I meant whatever it means to like it

[near nymph]

K... That card sucks unless you wanna carry a balance. Wtf

[thorny axle]

Yeah, part of the reason I’m not against tossing it (metaphorically) when I’m done

[near nymph]

No Cashback??? Free McAfee...
Extended warranty is a standard for alot of credit cards I guess? Rental protection?

[summer folio]

Worker Union = WU

Everybody should be in a union

👷 🧑‍⚕️ 👨‍🏭 👨‍💼

[thorny axle]

Is that stuff it has?

[near nymph]

Only thing I've seen that the apple card doesn't have is extended warranty.

[thorny axle]

I didn’t even know my card had that

[near nymph]

Hey man. When you get into credit cards. These banks are always trying to stick their tips in your... Always take advantage of them. Aka use the perks lol

[thorny axle]

lol very true

[manic torrent]

What what?

[thorny axle]

I thought the perk was just the APR

My father has the card I showed earlier

[chrome fox]

Well googling that was a great way to kill half an hour 😄

[manic torrent]

Credit cards are excellent and awful. I don't have one at all anymore.

[thorny axle]

And he often has an outstanding balance

[thorny axle]

Unfortunate. They’re helpful for building credit

Or losing it if you’re irresponsible I guess

[full fossil]

lol, i just watched this xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gutR_LNoZw0

[near nymph]

Yeah.... That's called credit card debt... I hope that number ain't too big

[shut violet]

You need to be very strict when using credit cards

[near nymph]

I keep my credit card around for... Well... I like getting free shit. And I get free travel insurance

Not exactly free... $120 CAD annual fee which ain't bad

@thorny axle do you travel often? Eat out? Like what's you highest expenditure

[manic torrent]

Is GPU passthrough really only possible on Linux?

[wispy marsh]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/deploy/deploying-graphics-devices-using-dda

[manic torrent]

I mean it's not really GPU passthrough, it's PCIe passthrough, and it's not really an OS thing, it's a hypervisor thing, so ... no.

[summer folio]

1337 EU!

[lyric glade]

yes

[wispy marsh]

One 4090 per docker instance of a plex server

[amber cairn]

are you upscaling 144p 4:3 TV footage to 16K?

also iirc you can do pcie passthrough on windows but only on the server version of Hyper-V so not in win 10/11 pro

[fossil dirge]

I would like to use Plex

But I need a server

[summer folio]

I think we all can agree on, that 3 cheap 65" LCD TVs are better than 1 OLED 65"

[fossil dirge]

No it isn’t

[summer folio]

More TVs

[fossil dirge]

OLED TVs are better

[manic torrent]

how many TVs do you watch at the same time

[mild elm]

what are you gonna do with 3 tvs

[desert dagger]

every one

[mild elm]

LG OLED C1/B2 65" are like $1300. Well worth it.

[fossil dirge]

I have a lot of TVs at home

[manic torrent]

as opposed to....

[fossil dirge]

I have an LG 4K OLED TVs

[mild elm]

an TVs

[fossil dirge]

I use my TV for Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, and Peacock

[mild elm]

[fossil dirge]

Also Prime Video

LG makes very good TVs

Originally I was going to go for Sony but I decided to go with LG since their TVs are great

[polar fern]

Oh good the mac vs Macintosh nonsense is over

It’s not that bad, but last year I saw it and it wasn’t amazing

[thorny axle]

I’m going to be living with my parents for another year or two

[thorny axle]

So not really much just yet

Dunning–Kruger effect

[manic torrent]

you don't even have to pretend, you can literally google things as you go and never look like an idiot again (or at least... less like one)

[polar fern]

[hollow veldt]

I have a question: If one of my ssd's is full and I have a second one will it automatically get used when I download a game on Steam for example?

[manic torrent]

no

[hollow veldt]

What can I do so that the second ssd gets used?

[manic torrent]

add it in steam and make it the default

[hollow veldt]

What about updates?

[manic torrent]

for existing games? They will go to where the game is now. You can move them though

[hollow veldt]

Ok thank you very much

[summer folio]

Steam bad, Epic Games good

[tired glade]

Kinda,epic already overblowing like steam

[plush rivet]

Other way around

[summer folio]

Valve is just greedy money grabbing middle hand

Don't support that

[tired glade]

Epic isn't much better

[plush rivet]

And how is epic better lol

[summer folio]

I use The Pirate Bay tbf

[plush rivet]

that’s your issue I actually wanna own my games

[summer folio]

[tired glade]

That's a solution to all of problems

[plush rivet]

and so far I’ve had 0 issues on steam so I could care less

[summer folio]

True & Real, lending games from Steam feels like a bad idea

[past egret]

i just buy keys elsewhere to activate on steam

[summer folio]

What about when Steam Shuts down?
You got 0 games then.

[tired glade]

Epic is little bit better on development cut,but Steam is biggest, that's main differences

[plush rivet]

And when is that gonna happen

[summer folio]

idk, any time gabe wan't to retireo

[plush rivet]

Why would the biggest gaming provider in all of gaming shut down all of a sudden

[desert dagger]

could happen tomorrow, could happen in 10 years.

[tired glade]

How many you get if Epic shut down?

[past egret]

how does that even work
