A pair of iem’s from a reputable distributor

[tiny saffron]

FYI i had one KZN but I think it burned up from me using the wireless DSP from Fiio

[nimble junco]

Heh no

Shure SE215 PRO Wired Earbuds - Professional(SE215-CL) https://a.co/d/gIGP5Q0

Found these too

[polar fern]

From what I can tell lower priced options do not have as good of a range. They’re usually good at bass, mid, upper mid, but not a full good spectrum

[nimble junco]

Yea but its probably the best Quality Im gonna get for a while

[polar fern]

I would also avoid anything that claims to go down to 5 Hz

[glad mist]

Wtf Verizon offers unlimited 5G 300 Mbps at my apartment while I’m getting 6mbps from CenturyLink according to my router

[polar fern]

I would cut off at 15

Tf

Highway robbery.

[glad mist]

Ah damn the search page I found is lying

[polar fern]

😲

[glad mist]

Verizon themselves say they don’t have service at my address

[elfin jetty]

Like 4th gen i7?

Bro one sec i have that exact cpu running in my minecraft server

[glad mist]

Basically my options are CenturyLink for $65 a month or starlink for $100 a month plus base station cost

[elfin jetty]

Im not even joking

[glad mist]

Oh now starlink says they’re not available here

Damn CenturyLink must’ve gotten to them

Fucking exclusivity deals man!

I hate CL

Probably because that processor is ancient

Like 10 years old

Oh that’s strange Intel site says 8 threads

That’ll do it, go enable hyperthreading and report back

[elfin jetty]

its only job is to host minecraft servers

kek

not even kidding i'm just remoted in through my main pc

it actually handles hosting amazingly

but it also has 16gigs of ram

[full fossil]

Do i find someone in nunavut so i dont pay hella shipping fees

[glass vapor]

cant believe fortnite went creative 2.0

imma actually play the game again just for the og fornite map

[elfin jetty]

the rig mine is in is a old dell optiplex i got free from work and i just added some ram from the other free ones i got, i do alot of scavenging tbh

and a 250gb ssd

great minds think alike

embrace the jank

[dreamy rose]

when you are so bored you decide to make a Windows 98 USB

[elfin jetty]

it has 2 psus

I'm sure it will be fine

so yes

[polar fern]

@elfin jetty sff gang woop

[elfin jetty]

thats my mc server, my main pc is gigantic

[polar fern]

I just have the smol stuff

Mac mini 2018 i5 & Lenovo thinkcentre M75s-1

How useful is a vertical monitor for anything outside of streaming? I have three monitors and the straight vertical is just not very practical for my desk size (PC is on desk)

[bleak leaf]

can I have the account ID of the real Linus?

[elfin jetty]

no?

[full fossil]

So I want to give it a try but I'm not sure how useful it will be, other than stream chat or like Twitter

[bleak leaf]

Why not?

[elfin jetty]

because you will never be worthy

[dreamy rose]

hes not on Discord

[polar fern]

The mac & pc… They best buds.

& wow, I need to clean my desk, but I don’t have the energy so oh well

[elfin jetty]

heh same

[dreamy rose]

the mac sits shoved in a Drawer.

[elfin jetty]

mine is so much worse ngl

[polar fern]

No, it’s on the shelf

[dreamy rose]

that's a Drawer space with no Drawer in it.

[polar fern]

I have PTSD which means every once in awhile, I have no energy from mental/emotional stuff, taking all of my energy to deal with that. I also have long Covid which is a whole thing unto itself. So yeah I don’t get to clean my desk as often as I would like.

No, that’s actually a shelf. There are only three drawers.

[dreamy rose]

why would it be built like that?

[polar fern]

It’s built like that for exactly the way I’m using it

My Mac mini, the external apple SuperDrive, a few USB things all live in there & it has surprisingly good ventilation being open on both ends

Oh look, that’s when I was testing the Logitech B100 mouse

My g403 chilling off to the side

The desk has turned out to be not ideal for what I do, but I’m trying to make the best of it. It was a gift after all and quite expensive (purchased in the middle of all of the wild supply chain disruptions back in 2020)

back in early March 2020 I had put together a photo and video trip for March 29, which would take me through parts of northern New Jersey, New York harbour New York City and Westchester County, just north of the city. The plan was to grab a new batch of transportation and infrastructure content to make videos and slide presentations with.

The computer set up I have was designed to help me do collection and editing of that content

We all know what happened in March 2020, so that whole thing never materialised so here I am with the setup and not much to do in terms of editing and putting projects together

I was smart to cancel my trip scheduled for 29 March earlier in the month, because by that date everything was shut down and there was no travelling anyway.

And even if I could get around to take the shots and stuff that I wanted, none of the trains were running at the time, so that would’ve been pointless

So I’ve been basically just treading water as the hardware has been ageing and it’s pretty frustrating

So I’ve been looking to upgrade the processor or get a graphics card and change from an APU to a CPU

All with my incredibly tiny, limited monthly fixed income

So if you wanna complain about where my Mac mini is sitting on my desk, go ahead, it’s not going to change where it’s sitting on my desk

[full fossil]

is it a worry that my mousepad available size for my mouse is only 3 of the same mouses sided to side

[fluid ridge]

depends what you doing

[full fossil]

[fluid ridge]

yeah unless you are playing 16k dpi thats fucked

[full fossil]

csbgo

[full fossil]

how do I calculate DPI

[tiny saffron]

Ehh, you can get cheap but massive mousepad

[full fossil]

I have a mousepad just that my laptop is positioned weirdly

[elfin jetty]

not worth it

get something good or it curls

[full fossil]

giant ass mousepad, and if I make the laptop more to the right then I don't have legspace to get infront of it

[fluid ridge]

you dont need to

[full fossil]

its alreadly offcenter now slightly

[polar fern]

Yeah, my beloved Japanese woodblock print mouse pad is starting to curl up where my wrist rests 😑

[tiny saffron]

Mine doesn't, and if it do use something heavy to press on it

[full fossil]

nah like edepi and stuff idk its pretty high

[fluid ridge]

bro i put the laptop up for 250 and i got 12 message requests ahha

[tiny saffron]

[polar fern]

honestly, the sewn edges are a great breakthrough for desk and mouse pads. I cannot tell you how many mouse pads I have worn out because the edges got weird

[fluid ridge]

[full fossil]

Don't sell it short

[fluid ridge]

i dont care if i lose money, this laptop is defective and a piece of shit, anything more than 250 i would feel bad

[low rain]

I wanna save money but I keep planning stuff

[polar fern]

@low rain can we build it? 🤔

[low rain]

Why not

Let's build it rn

[tiny saffron]

Gotchu, but still

30 dollars

[indigo plume]

Mf who spend that much on virtual cosmetic got a problem

At least there's no rugpull

i wish i could get free games through selling Skins.

[tiny saffron]

You can sell cards on steam

It's a little but it works

[long briar]

how much is the wave one (from spectrum)?

for a knife that isn't at all exclusive other than the fact valorant's playerbase are like either rich parents 14 year olds or just broke

[fluid ridge]

can we please ban this guy

[summer folio]

16?

[full fossil]

OwO

[fluid ridge]

4 months in, 4 weeks per month
16 week 4 months
currently the 14th 14 = 2 weeks
18 weeks

[summer folio]

I just use Discord as a ChatGPT 10.0

[summer folio]

False, it's week 15
https://vecka.nu/

[fluid ridge]

do the math you

[full fossil]

its true :V

[summer folio]

Thanks tho!

[fluid ridge]

it's april, the 4th month

there are 4 months so far in 2023
4 months is 16 weeks (4*4=16, 4 weeks/month)

Now it's the 14th right now
One week is 7 days
14th = 2 weeks (2*7=14)

you add 16 + 2 you get 18

[full fossil]

let me load up my 5000 server super ai to check one number

[timid meadow]

If youve got the bing app its 2 clicks

[fluid ridge]

i refuse to believe that

the math is not mathing

[full fossil]

nahhh, im more into the google it guy xP

[summer folio]

[timid meadow]

I was too, and still use google sometimes. But asking BingGpt is a million times more effective in my search then googling and adding reddit or xdadev as a filter

[fluid ridge]

4 months = 16 weeks (4 months * 4 weeks per month = 16)

Currently it is the 14th of the current month (7 days a week, 14 days = 2 weeks)

You have 16 weeks and 2 weeks, you add them together, it does not give you 15 it gives you 18

[timid meadow]

Not all months have 4 weeks, theres varience.

[fluid ridge]

whoever says it's 15 works for the cia and is operating a psyop on the people

[fluid ridge]

wait what

its even more than 4 weeks so the number should be even bigger

1 month is 4.34 weeks on average

it should be more than 18 then

[summer folio]

Why would you add 2 weeks, you mean subtract 2 weeks?

[fluid ridge]

why would you subtract 2 weeks, you want to know how many weeks it's been this year so far and we're on the 14th of april

2 weeks of april so far so we add that on

[summer folio]

so 3 months + half month

[fluid ridge]

no it's 4 months

[timid meadow]

52 weeks in a year. Average of 4.3 weeks per month. That rounding matters here

[fluid ridge]

the number should be bigger than 18, idk where these people are getting 15 from

off the percs fr

[dreamy rose]

istg if AMD's "Big little" means a few nerfed cores of the same Architecture then that's perfect. a Hexa core Athlon sounds amazing

[summer folio]

The year starts in:

1. January
2. Then comes february
3. then March
4. Then April

3 + half of april

[fluid ridge]

oh yeah thats my bad

[summer folio]

[fluid ridge]

4*3=12
12+2=14

yeah close enough to 15 whatever

[dreamy rose]

oh god. something or someone is in the roof

another fun thing. January 1st was in Week 52.

Mhmm... I'm thinking about getting a FLEX powertool set. They seem to be expanding their lineup and they seem to be on par when it comes to performance. Not sure about longevity doe

[summer folio]

1:st & 2:nd January 2022 was week 52 of 2021 tho.

[dreamy rose]

on par with what?

[near nymph]

Milwaukee and DeWalt

The major powertool brands.

[tiny saffron]

Bro I'll be using milwaukee but the fucking price

[near nymph]

Eh the price isnt bad with Home Depot and well other hardware store deals.

[tiny saffron]

It's super expensive to get a m12 drill

Just a m12 drill

[near nymph]

What are we comparing it to?

[tiny saffron]

Like super basic bosch 120

I'm from asia so the tool cost like about 200 with a battery

[near nymph]

Eh fair.

[full fossil]

hmmmm, idk idk xD i cant really think of anything that i could ask it OwO most of my searches are just hyprland, sandstorm steam, etc
if i want for example just look at rust coding stuff, i just search for rust book and it has everything XD
hard for me to think of something that would be hard to find OwO

[tiny saffron]

My workplace have it, ngl it's good but the price

[timid meadow]

Its not about being hard to find in the first place, its about being fast and giving you stuff you may not have known or seen in your own search. And then since it sites its sources, you can read further. Its a new frontend for google in a way

[full fossil]

idk, if would be much faster for me to just click on a link, than wait for that thing to type its paragraphs OWO

I use creative mode on bing because when it misses, it at least adds a bit extra of what it was thinking and points me in a direction. Itll use certain casual terms, or understand a term that i use but may not be the standard (and thus the reason my googles come up empty)

[neon mesa]

The initial responses are cool and all, but the fun part is when you dont directly ask it a question but it knows what you mean and answers anyway.

[neon mesa]

my G102 double click issue is no longer in the tolerable levels and it's not even a year

i need a new mouse what should i get

[amber cairn]

Do you like super light mice or do you like 'em with some weight?

[neon mesa]

of course preferably still close to the G102's price point

how about not super light and not heavy like the G102

[tiny saffron]

Bosch have a basic drill is something like gsl 120

[amber cairn]

G305 maybe?

that's in the ballpark of the 102 in terms of weight and got the hero sensor

[summer folio]

Is North Dakota or Wyoming the best State in America?

[neon mesa]

it's double the 102 price and is almost as expensive as the G502 hero

might as well get the 502 at that point

[amber cairn]

is it? Over here it's about the same price

[neon mesa]

the G102 here is 15 bucks yea

[near nymph]

Eh oh well

[summer folio]

Or a real mouse
like Microsoft Sidewinder

it has a screen

Logitech should stay to Speakers

[amber cairn]

logitech speakers are crap though

[dusty rune]

since when is the g102 heavy

[violet warren]

Cries in G650

[neon mesa]

not light or heavy, like the G102

[dusty rune]

oooh

[amber cairn]

it's like 85 grams so there's a lot in that segment really, the wired mice are usually in the same pricerange too but don't really have any experience with those

i abandoned wires a long time ago 👴

[neon mesa]

i hate batteries

my mouse stays on my desk 90% of the time anyway

[amber cairn]

charge my mouse like every 6-7 days

i mean for me it's not about it being portable it's about not having the cable in the way while doing stuff

[tiny saffron]

Opposite of me

I just hate wires on desk, frustrating to work around the clutter

If you adjust the quantity your gonna fuck up all the math that had used the old quantity

Changing what a unit stands for requires a lot of rework

Also, earth spin slows ever so slightly

[dreamy rose]

this is LTT not math class

[tiny saffron]

So your unit have to change literally every moment

[lost sphinx]

is linus in this server?

[tiny saffron]

That never changes

[summer folio]

They always ask where is Linus, they never ask how is Linus. 😔

[tiny saffron]

What is linus

[tiny saffron]

I think you are frustrated about the way we set our date, if so, just work the calander

Changing some so fundamental is a massive pain in the arse, especially when that value have to change every centuries

[summer folio]

Americans when the date is 31/12/23 🥴

[tiny saffron]

Hey, I agree leap year is a piece of shizz

At a different distance yes

But hell, if we change that shit all of our research from the dawn of time have to be reworked

Don't tell me you gonna do that just to shit on leap year

[neon mesa]

a group of scientist that sets all these interconnected systems of units probably know better

[tiny saffron]

Sure, but make sure you discuss this to NASA before you set this in stone

Like I said, it's a whole hell of rabbit hole

Go ahead, dude's definitely more qualified than I am

[amber cairn]

I take it you're a theoretical physicist tmo?

I'm just saying you might have the qualifications but I can't be sure about your knowledge base since you don't have credentials.

[neon mesa]

anyone can say anything but a degree of course is for credibility

[tiny saffron]

You surely got the idea, but you'll need a whole hell of technical knowledge to guess how well it's gonna work

[neon mesa]

instead of simply adding extra day every 4 year you rather rewrite the entire metric system

[tiny saffron]

Let the math and science to the talking

[amber cairn]

Lmao now that's rich

[tiny saffron]

IMO you have not enough "tools" make a "machine" into reality

You catch my meaning?

You can give an idea, but you'll need the right guy with the right tools

[neon mesa]

Changing the second to avoid dealing with leap years and decimal numbers is impractical and irrational, as it would create confusion and require significant efforts to implement. The current established system has been used for centuries and proven to be reliable.

[shut violet]

This is a very weird argument to look on at

[neon mesa]

you do you, but i don't expect the second to change anytime soon

good luck on your little endeavour

[shut violet]

God speed to that person

[gentle slate]

Well, I got my internet package upgraded. from 60/60 to 300/60

For some reason the change hasn't been reflected on my PC. My phone pulls higher speeds through wifi than my PC does

[neon mesa]

you did a good job convincing yourself it's a good idea.

[shut violet]

😂

[neon mesa]

instead of going to a somewhere to actually get an expert opinion
you go to LTT discord for some reason

[shut violet]

autism - i can smell and taste it

[neon mesa]

changing the seconds involves a lottt lot more than just simply changing how we count

Changing the definition of a second would require a global and extensive modification of various devices and systems, including clocks, software, and scientific measurements. It would need new regulations and create confusion and inconsistency.

and good luck recalling the billions of watches on earth

someone who is actually knowledgeable don't use "how smart they are" as an argument point

Thou art so inept in the art of argumentation that thou dost resort to the use of "literally" as an intensifier, which doth reveal thy paucity of linguistic acuity and logical acumen.

As someone using a Pixel 7 Pro right now. Eh... Probably iphone if I was to get another phone

[amber cairn]

The pixel 7 with android 13 is probably the cleanest UI I've seen in years, some stuff apple should take note of especially the theme picker

[neon mesa]

AMD bad
Nvidia bad
Intel good

[tiny saffron]

Mouse and keyboard, especially on Elden Ring

[timid meadow]

DS5 yes, otherwise tf outta here. Unless you like the stick placement then to each their own fair sir

[patent fog]

Why? I like my Pixel

[amber cairn]

ios 16's theme picker thing is just... not well-designed? I mean sure profile switching is nice but I don't like how they implemented it

am i the only one who hated xbox's stick placement?

It's buggy ASF

[near nymph]

The amount of times swiping to switch apps and having it display the wrong app icon.

[neon mesa]

this just looks cursed

[near nymph]

The amount of times I open the app switcher and it moves all the way too the end.

Its just not a great experience compared to iOS

[timid meadow]

I havent held one of those in years.....

[amber cairn]

that's actually never happened for me except for the yt pip thing.

but that's just an extra button press so i'm not that bothered but I get it, it's a bit clunky still

[neon mesa]

[gentle slate]

Networking is a puzzle. I swapped the 2 Ethernet ports around and suddenly my speed is normal. When both should output full speed

[tiny saffron]

I still have it, along with the OG ps1

[timid meadow]

Ive still got a ps1 floating around. Needs restored though. Only 90% sure it even powers

[patent fog]

Might just be luck the draw, I have heard interesting things about the pixels over the years and the bugs happening only to some and not others

[amber cairn]

original ps1 controller with thumb sticks was so good

[tiny saffron]

Can you plug the ps1 controller into a pc?

[amber cairn]

my biggest issue with the pixel was at my last job where we had some IoT lock on the door using bluetooth and half the time the app crapped out, never happened on ios

[shut violet]

the mini pads, yes

[timid meadow]

I think adapters exist

[shut violet]

the mini playstation came with usb controllers, original ones you'd need adapters

[tiny saffron]

How does it even work💀

It's the OG one

[summer folio]

Original Controller did not have sticks. Superior Design.

[gentle slate]

bruh my SSD cant keep up with my download

shouldnt have cheaped out on the SSD. This thing is shit

Guys how can I get mouse click buttons for DualShock 4?

[shut violet]

OG was digital only, then they added sticks, then they added vibration

the later versions came with thumbsticks too

[tiny saffron]

Hell I forgot, i need to dig the cabinet but I'm in work

[patent fog]

My biggest issue was when I tried to do a weekly custom ROM update, and it fucked up a whole device. I knew it was a mistake going to a custom ROM, but oh well. It's on stock again, and I'm happy.

[timid meadow]

In windows the touch pad acts as mouse click

[shut saddle]

I tried to buy the extreme rate one but it’s super overpriced

[shut saddle]

No like I want mouse click feel for the buttons on my controller

[amber cairn]

i haven't bothered with custom roms for years and the pixels get updates super fast anyway

[shut violet]

mouse switches won't fit in the controller

[shut saddle]

There are mods

But it’s overpriced that’s why I’m asking for alternatives

[timid meadow]

Overpriced? Or you dont wanna pay priced?

[amber cairn]

i got the 8bitdo controller with the magnetic thumbsticks and it's real good (a bit pricey maybe but eh).

[patent fog]

The one and only reason I tried custom ROM again was cause the pixel I was daily driving before this one was EOL lol.

[amber cairn]

Aaaah gotcha

[shut saddle]

It’s 19.99$ in the US but it’s literally 50$ where I live

[tiny saffron]

Welcome to my world

[timid meadow]

Thats not necessarily overpriced. Sounds like the costs they pay get passed to you

[tiny saffron]

Some tech are just more expensive in my country

[shut saddle]

I really can’t afford it for that price

[dusty rune]

use joytokey and map your controls to mouse clicks

[timid meadow]

Then dont do it, or investigate what they do and DIY

[shut saddle]

Yeah? I love soldering

[timid meadow]

Ill be getting one soon. Got a dremel recently, soldering iron is next

[shut violet]

in 2010 I bought a used Weller magnestat setup where you had to change the tips to change temperature - good iron but this was very, very limiting

[full fossil]

did u buy smoke filtration thing? OwO

[near nymph]

Do you have a drill?

[shut violet]

when that eventually broke (it was VERY old) I went for a hakko

[junior tide]

all i have is a cheap chinese 60W iron

[shut violet]

having temp control is so handy

[junior tide]

big upgrade over my cheap chinese 40W iron

[shut violet]

granted it isn't NEEDED but for some stuff its like "ah, well, i will ruin this at that temp" lol

[junior tide]

only soldering i do is my keyboard so i actually geniunely dont need anything better

[shut violet]

Advice I can offer: buy a chopping board, wooden or granite to put your work on when soldering to protect your work

if its a wooden board, you can screw things into it to secure them

[timid meadow]

Not yet

[junior tide]

i have a couple fixes under the hood of this keyboard already

cracked pcb so few jumpers

[near nymph]

I'm shopping for a drill... Woop woop

Looking for the platform to buy into is the difficult part

[junior tide]

ripped pads so yes few more jumpers

this keyboard is a joke

[shut saddle]

Are there any controller modding servers where I can get help from?

sounds like they're just cheap keyboard issues. Return the recent one you bought and try another.

[waxen marten]

its happened on more expensive keyboards too

[tiny saffron]

Is it wireless?

[waxen marten]

no all wired

[tiny saffron]

Do you plug the keyboard directly to the pc?

[waxen marten]

yes?

[tiny saffron]

Or is it through an usb hub

[waxen marten]

uhhh i dont think itsugh a hub

ive had them plugged through both the front and back usbs

[tiny saffron]

Do you have other issues with another device, like mouse?

[waxen marten]

nope just keyboards

What kind of keyboard are you using?

Show me both the cheap and the expensive one

1 hour 20 for me to rip a uhd disc on my 8th gen i7 system

Luckily I don’t do it very often lol

[rugged bridge]

im yet to transcode

[shut violet]

I just leave as full bitrate/res whether dvd or uhd bluray

[rugged bridge]

copying to drive first so it goes faster in handbrake

[rugged bridge]

yea im just using regular old dvds

which are usually max 720p

[summer folio]

[shut violet]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a dvd at 720p

[rugged bridge]

mine are old anyway

[shut violet]

Pretty sure they only went up to 480p but could be wrong

[amber cairn]

yeah dvd's were 480, blurays went directly to 1080 after that

[rugged bridge]

🤔

[amber cairn]

uk dvds were 576p but that's about it lol

[tiny saffron]

Bruh that's an odd number

i think it might

tho i haven't noticed any interlacing

Man, I hate 2020s
If someone would say SD 3-4 years ago, I would assume they are talking about SD cards
But now the Stable Diffusion is the first association of mine

[rugged bridge]

SD imo stands for standard definition

if your talking about SD cards you say sd card

[shut violet]

I mean the convo topic was clearly about video

So, there is that also

[manic torrent]

... you mean PAL DVDs.

this is going to shock you, there are many other countries.

[amber cairn]

i mean I know of PAL but the article I pulled up just said UK specifically dunno why 😛 I didn't really care about video resolution growing up

[manic torrent]

oof.

I bought my first DVD at age .. uhhh 20? I got the matrix, and cruel intentions

[rugged bridge]

matrix still holds up and for some reason the new 4K version has this horrible green filter on everything when the original had a fairly neutral almost blue colour correction

[manic torrent]

I watched them on my OG xbox, which had a modchip and ran xbox media center - before xbmc, before kodi.

[amber cairn]

ah, did you do the splinter cell exploit?

[next dove]

Today i learned
Never knew it was a term

[manic torrent]

don't think it existed. Did a hardware mod

[amber cairn]

oh, when I did it on my OG xbox there was some sort of exploit you could do with a splinter cell save-file so you could install a softmod

don't remember specifics but I remember using it as a media center after that

[fossil frost]

last place i worked, the guy in charge of the api that logged a bunch of time based stuff, had a bug every 6 months or so, when dst started/ended... and his fix was... rather than doing it properly... add a positive offset or a negative offset manually on the night that DST changes, and do a deployment... rather than just detecting the timezone change in code...

[neon mesa]

the whole thing costs 15 cents in API usage

[amber cairn]

15 cents and it works? dayum

[neon mesa]

it can definitely get quite pricy if you do it a lot

[hollow pulsar]

Ouch. Lol

[neon mesa]

and no, none of the buttons work, it's just the main page

[amber cairn]

hey now don't bully the poor api into actually writing functional javascript

[dreamy rose]

how do we tell Nvidia to Buzz off on their taxes so they dont loose money?

[neon mesa]

it can definitely do that, you just need to ask it

ChatGPT is shit at coming up with stuff on its own

that little main page took a long chain of conversation

[amber cairn]

i know, been experimenting with chatgpt a lot, it's fairly good at sql queries, you give it the right parameters and it usually spits out something decent

[neon mesa]

ChatGPT is better as a StackOverFlow than doing your whole job

i still prefer writing it on my own

[amber cairn]

I do like to ask it more generic questions about a problem and it can find some interesting solutions that I can google independently

[dreamy rose]

ChatGPT IS Shit. its not exactly intelligent. the way the term AI makes it sound

[amber cairn]

basically the rubber duck but it talks back

[manic torrent]

probably generates stupid SQL queries, but people who are using chatGPT to generate SQL queries probably ALSO generate stupid SQL queries

[hollow pulsar]

Aggregate Information? ~AI

[amber cairn]

lol just tell me how you really feel

[neon mesa]

still more intelligent than basically 95% of people tbh

[amber cairn]

it makes fine queries, writes them correctly and format them well if you don't want to repeat shit

[dreamy rose]

agreed

[neon mesa]

ChatGPT is shit because of the dumb limitations OpenAI put on the free version

[amber cairn]

just give it what you want it to do and how the table should be setup and it just writes the thing as it should be

[neon mesa]

the paid API version is much smarter

[amber cairn]

gpt 4 is a lot better than 3.5 generally

[manic torrent]

yeah - I am just sick of SQL queries cut and paste out of other tools, and sql queries written by people who clearly had no idea what they were doing.

[neon mesa]

chatGPT at the end of the day is just a tool
works as well as the user works well

if the user is shit it gives shit results

if you're lazy enough to code with ChatGPT at least make effortful prompts

[manic torrent]

no, it works as well as the input, and the user, within the limitations of what it is.

[ashen zodiac]

Bing chat is quite good from my experience

[amber cairn]

every time i got it to write python though it screws up by using variables or function names that's not supposed to be there, haven't tried javascript yet though

[dreamy rose]

can it TAS Mario Kart Wii Luigi Circuit?

[neon mesa]

you just reiterate what i said

[manic torrent]

no, the input as in what it was trained on

because any errors or bias or issues in there are going to be amplified

[neon mesa]

[amber cairn]

for a more functional model you probably need to have someone make like a "certified" library of x-y that it gets trained on

[hollow pulsar]

I mean, I have no clue how to write SQL queries- I stumbled my way well enough to dump a table to Powershell and from there I could narrow down and extract info. Sometimes it just needs to work “well enough”

[amber cairn]

I can see GPT being great as a tool if you feed it the correct training data but then the question is how do you validate and how much will that in turn cost

[rugged bridge]

aww hell nah

[amber cairn]

just wait until they integrate the chat assistant in vs code and it will go "uwu owo you made an oopsie woopsie in line 1024"

[timid meadow]

Im so mad rn

[neon mesa]

[amber cairn]

this is why the EU wants to regulate this

[amber cairn]

weebs have infiltrated the training data

[manic torrent]

dude, half a second? I have missed shit by fucking .009

[neon mesa]

and it uses the API so you can't ban it

[hollow pulsar]

Me: Self hosted or…no AND go home.

It's a black box. There is no certifying and KNOWING how the model will work without running it.

The amount is just cause their other uncle said I’m dropping a thousand is a group chat we have….which I find weird talking about ur finances and dropping a number like that is weird to me unless ur asking for ideas and it rubbed me the wrong way but I think imma buy both a switch they have ps5 and my 360 and they are good kids and they like help with yard work so I don’t mind the money since they do stuff for me thansk for y’all’s ideas tho I really do appreciate it

[eager venture]

No

@fringe schooner

Sorry #public-chat message

[dreamy rose]

no

[timber ridge]

it appears every single time I open the app and every other time I try and switch to another server. how can that not be infuriating!

[dreamy rose]

i'm not on the App

[timber ridge]

do you not have a phone? /s

[dreamy rose]

i dont have it right now

[timber ridge]

I also find the pups on the desktop app annoying but they're not as frequent as on the mobile app I think

[dreamy rose]

havent for over 6 months

[timber ridge]

🫠

[dreamy rose]

almost like my parents are trying to kill my Discord or smth

[timber ridge]

wut

[dreamy rose]

i have no access to the Gmail associated with this account. cant change it, if i loose this install i have no way to get it back

[tiny saffron]

Tie to one

[dreamy rose]

i need my phone. its the only place i can get my access again.

[tiny saffron]

Make another email

Use that first

[tribal garden]

My 4070 is with only 1x 8-pin, doesn’t that seem kinda low in power delivery? Or am i wildin

[dreamy rose]

already did, already tried but discord only gives a "Fuck you, suffer" generic message

[tiny saffron]

Bruh

[full fossil]

Hi

Why is my Name RoSSe it's Rose

[dreamy rose]

"We can only talk to the account holder about account information"

AKA. the Email associated with the damn account

[timber ridge]

it would be if all the power came through the connector, but about 70W of the 200 of the 4070 comes through the pcie slot so you should be fine

[tribal garden]

Good point, had forgotten that the pcie slot gives power also 😆

[timber ridge]

you would be forgiven for forgetting that since NEW sub 70W discrete gpu's are practically non-existent lol

[full fossil]

hello y'all

[tiny saffron]

Did you lose your phone?

[livid sand]

hey

[timber ridge]

I wonder though... how much of a nightmare would it be to get say a 3050 and edit the bios so it by default runs sub 70w? just as an, experiment... i have this Lenovo computer with an extremely low wattage external PSU and no pcie power connectors

[dreamy rose]

Please note: don't be mad when your 600 dollar GPU gets hard limited to Low/Medium settings in a year or two. Nvidia trippin mad balls RN and are making some Quite nasty VRAM Choices rn. 8GB is practically entry level and 12 is low end now.

[dreamy rose]

Cash Converters. they took it in for a quick buck with a Loan. alongside a lot of other things.

[tiny saffron]

Bruh

You have the sim card?

[dreamy rose]

i do. and i could have been using an iPhone 6 to get the phone number settled. but its an iPhone 6 i always hated that thing. so slow and miserable.

[tiny saffron]

Well, at least there's the ticket

[tired glade]

4070 is under 200w

[tiny saffron]

Also i know you're Aussie the moment you say cashies

[dreamy rose]

i'd rather drink bleach than use that thing. Screens cracked and the experience is choppy AF

[tiny saffron]

DankPods ruins me

[dreamy rose]

i could be British

[tiny saffron]

Sell your parents phone to get a new phone

[dreamy rose]

its not strictly an aussie place

[tiny saffron]

Gotchu there, i though cashies are aussie thing

[dreamy rose]

my mum uses a work phone and my stepdad kills phones within a month

[tiny saffron]

Change your lock to your room and lock the door b4 going out

[dreamy rose]

that was VERY annoying when they decided to get new ones. i just got the shittest one they could find when they got the one i specifically picked out because it was a Decent compromise.

he got one and sure enough he fucked it up almost immediately. massive waste of time

[tiny saffron]

Get him the chinese tough phone

[dreamy rose]

the 3310 would only last 1 week

[tiny saffron]

Ulefone, cheap, full of malware(allegedly), tough and if he break it the battery so big it will give him a surprise as a lesson to treat your belongings with respect

[tribal garden]

Yeah, I'm upgrading again in 2-3 years, this is just a temporary card

Just need something that can lift my gaming needs until I'm done with uni, as I'll then go out and build a completely new setup

[dreamy rose]

if all goes well you'd have a Radeon next

[spring socket]

Did Nvidia like, kill your parents or something

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia has made too much bullshit for too long

[spring socket]

No GPU manufacturer, whether it be AMD or Nvidia or Intel, is your friend

[dreamy rose]

i just hate seeing "AMD BAD!" when Nvidia is still selling the 410M on a board

[spring socket]

AMD ain't perfect either

[dreamy rose]

are they still Selling a 12 year old Laptop GPU?

[tribal garden]

Still too traumatized by shit drivers from AMD to actually make the swap, but I was soooo close to doing it this time

[spring socket]

They tried selling a laptop GPU masked as a desktop GPU lol

[tribal garden]

Especially after seeing the 6950 performance against the 4070

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia did it with a 5 year old one in 2016

and what thats fine?

[spring socket]

The point is that they aren't your friends lol

Nvidia and AMD have done questionable things in the name of making money

[dreamy rose]

its almost like they get better over time where the "I HAD THIS 10 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS SHIT DONT BUY" argument becomes obviously invalid.

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia straight up doing the worst. and are absolutely open about it

[polar fern]

Companies aren’t people. Companies are comprised of people.

companies typically exist to turn a profit. Whatever their product and service may be it typically can’t exist unless they are making money.

[gloomy condor]

Why does family find it weird that my tv box pc aka the intel stick pc is just a normal windows pc like it’s a new thing

[polar fern]

Dunner m8

[gloomy condor]

Legit explain that this small stick runs windows 10 and they are like seriously?

[dreamy rose]

because they know nothing about PCs

go tell em what the Steam Deck is.

[gloomy condor]

🤯

[polar fern]

@gloomy condor

Also

[dreamy rose]

Screensavers?

[polar fern]

Nooo

Mac OS 9 wallpaper.

Apple has the best wallpaper & screen savers

I kinda miss those early days, when the iMac was new. Very different vibe.

[tired glade]

Wait, you not changing that on install?

[dreamy rose]

i disagree. some of those Linux distros have some damn good ones.

[gloomy condor]

Legit use the stick pc as a tv box for my own custom service

[polar fern]

They largely didn’t exist when these were released

[tired glade]

It doesn't matter,if you change it or not interact with it

[dreamy rose]

KDE is practically the oldest of the DEs

they've had some banger releases like 3.5

[fossil dirge]

Man I remember those wallpapers I had a Mac when I was a kid

[dreamy rose]

L Childhood. real ones had a 360 and spent hundreds of hours in minecraft.

[barren briar]

Like one of the NUCs?

[slender pilot]

If LTT does a Pink Version of the Backpack I'll order one ASAP

[long briar]

compute stick

[barren briar]

ohhh

i just remembered those lol

[crystal ocean]

360 best console ever made

[rugged rapids]

Man, its so hot outsidr that even my hecking iPad is warm to the touch

And Im only playing some nusic and have a pdf open

[crystal ocean]

You know what’s worse owning a black truck in Texas with no clouds it’s like a literal oven lol

Heat is the enemy

[dreamy rose]

hmm. no. the Wii beats it. then the N64, then its the 360

[tardy terrace]

god I've seen some horrors with people baking cookies on their dashboard from heat waves

[rugged rapids]

Those temperate guys just don’t understand😔

It’s 8:50pm rn and 35 C Lmao

[crystal ocean]

I use to cook eggs on the side walk lol

[rugged rapids]

It was like 42 at daytime

[tardy terrace]

I find it really cool that people can cook things in the engine bay w/ long drives

[crystal ocean]

It’s not so hot right now but in the summer on thes 100 degree average weeks it’s awful

[tardy terrace]

i think it's potatoes wrapped in tinfoil that they wrap to the exhaust?

[rugged rapids]

What u won’t find cool is everything else

[tardy terrace]

wym, i find all sorts of things cool

[rugged rapids]

U missed the pun 💀

[tardy terrace]

Jokes tend to go over my head at times

[crystal ocean]

Back when I was working at a hardware store and I was working on the lumber yard in highschool and the heat was just brutal

[tardy terrace]

Oh but it's the lumber yard, the smell of all the fresh-cut wood,,

[fossil dirge]

It's great memories

Anyways does anybody here like Microsoft under Satya Nadella as CEO

[dreamy rose]

as long as Xbox is still good i wont be going full hate on Microsoft. Fr if Xbox didnt exist they'd just be Generic shitcorp.

[fossil dirge]

Alright

[crystal ocean]

I Don’t care about company’s unless I work for them just how they don’t care for us

[fossil dirge]

True

Any company can't be trusted

[crystal ocean]

Any publicy traded company

[rugged rapids]

says this in a company’s discord

[dreamy rose]

thats why you go FOSS. no Apple no Microsoft,

[fossil dirge]

FOSS is better

[crystal ocean]

I still buy their products but why should I care about them if they don’t care about me u don’t seem them going boy I wonder how this Customer is doing

[dreamy rose]

FOSS is really the only way to go

[fossil dirge]

Companies usually don't care about the customer

[fossil dirge]

Especially that FOSS is a lot better to support then corporate because most software from Microsoft and Apple are proprietary

But Microsoft and Apple both contribute to open source

[crystal ocean]

Ur right so I don’t care about them either unless I’m a share holder

[fossil dirge]

But that's just what I know about

[wispy marsh]

Hey

[dreamy rose]

Apple? helping linux? get real! maybe in some Crack alternate universe

[fossil dirge]

Nope LOL 😆

Apple is not helping Linux

Funny thing is that Microsoft supports Linux now

[dreamy rose]

they dont help anyone

[rugged rapids]

Apple iPads are their only product I own/probably will own

[tardy terrace]

#WSL4life

[rugged rapids]

I don’t see any reason to pay thr macbook premium esp at the cost of gaming perf

[crystal ocean]

MacBooks are really good I can’t lie I love mine

[fossil dirge]

Microsoft is a platinum member of the Linux Foundation

[rugged rapids]

They r good, but i cant justify the cost

[dreamy rose]

WSL is shit. only decent because they refuse to add features to Windows itself that a basic Linux Distro would have

[fossil dirge]

MacBooks are great computers

[dreamy rose]

Doubt

[crystal ocean]

I mean I use mine for work so I could

[rugged rapids]

For iPads any competing Samsung tablet is just garbage

[tardy terrace]

wsl2 is way faster, also, it's incredibly easy to install a UI that can sit on top of windows

[rugged rapids]

So its easy to spend

[dreamy rose]

the only reason an ipad is decent. no competition

[plush rivet]

M2 still the best on the market

[rugged rapids]

They’re still good technology, like macbooks

[dreamy rose]

its shit. its still Bogged down by Windows. if you want Linux run a Distro. not a glorified VM

[tardy terrace]

...any vm ran under any software is going to be bogged down somewhat by the host machine..

[dreamy rose]

they are passable. just android tablets less passable. thats changed some tho.

[crystal ocean]

For like moblie devices apple is just the best rn I can’t lie I mean their watches phones tablets laptops are just better then their counterparts and it will be awhile till that chsnges in laptops csuse windows 11 would need to be remade

[long briar]

when you see iPad air 2 get what, 8 years of updates

[tardy terrace]

like it runs perfectly fine??

[long briar]

that's what androids should be aiming for, apple level support for mobile devices

[rugged rapids]

Airs are a steal honestly

Especially a gen old

[long briar]

m1 yes

[rugged rapids]

Yee

[dreamy rose]

runs good on the hardware. not WSL.

[long briar]

if you get an Intel one... well there was that thing where Intel mba were desoldering themselves

[rugged rapids]

I ❤️ my air

Oh wait I meant the iPad Air lmao, but its true for Macbooks too lol
