i am willing to pay 2eur or 3eur per months it is not that much

[dreamy rose]

i just dont have pay for a paid one yet

[dull tapir]

just wonder how much you get out of it

[dreamy rose]

are you a student?

[dull tapir]

i know most people use vpn to access restricted websites or netflix but i do not have this issue looking for jack sparrow stuff since most require vpn

[dull tapir]

i am a student yes

[near nymph]

@dull tapir the one without pixelated is me on NordVPN connected to my closest Canadian Server. Speed testing with Netflix servers

[dreamy rose]

it will be worth a lot for you then.

[dull tapir]

this sounds about right thx

[dull tapir]

yes what do you mean like exactly

[near nymph]

holdup... why the fuck did the speeds not drop completely... with nordvpn

[dreamy rose]

being able to go to any site at school/College

[dull tapir]

maybe try it again

[dull tapir]

this is true yes

[near nymph]

i'll connect to seattle. that should maybe make a difference

[dull tapir]

what if you use vietnam from america

but how often do you guys use vpn like all the time or only for certain things

[full fossil]

I still have 500KB/s

[dull tapir]

this was me since 2008 to 2018

now we got a fiber cable few years ago

[near nymph]

Not bad I guess? I could get cheaper if I went direct but none of the direct airlines allow me to travel with pets

well good news a bought a 2tb usb of of aliexpress and it isnt a ching chog virus

[full fossil]

Probably isn't real though

it is

Have you done a detail check?

no........

Because the usb firmware can tell you anything lol. What Windows reports is from that firmware and they can set the value to anything.

i will check now

[full fossil]

https://youtu.be/ZG-Joa3e5Tk I'd recommend this as it goes over ways to find out if it's fake

thank you

I guess you could call it a lead overdose🤨

[full fossil]

Open it up and check the flash chip

[full fossil]

open the usb up?

[chrome vector]

1: Idk I just downloaded it for unrelated reasons 2: I would use bing everyday before I go back to Google. Google has gotten so much worse, so has Youtube search, for that matter.

Especially Youtube search

It manages to be the second most used search engine behind Google, yet is fucking garbage now. Look up anything more controversial than, "Barney and friends have a nice day" and it's going shove a bunch of unrelated garbage at you. Half the fucking page on Youtube search isn't even devoted to what you're actually searching for. Ignoring the problems with modern Google itself, that alone is worthy of me fucking right off away from them.

Been using their AI lately

Bing is also usually better than google for image searching tbh

or at very least they are the best alternative

using both isn't bad for images it gives you variety

[amber cairn]

that's not true, they just don't serve "low performing" videos in search so they give you like a half dozen keyword matches then go "and here are some videos from your recommended list"

they've designed every aspect of youtube to get you back into the auto-playing content-mill so you just follow recommendations.

Also hiding the like/dislike ratio makes watching any tutorial a chore since you're not certain it's even relevant or accurate at-a-glance.

[chrome vector]

That's not the problem though, the problem is if it's even slightly controversial they shove unrelated MSM garbage down your throat even if you're looking for something very specific that is for sure on Youtube. Just trying to find literally any 9/11 footage on Youtube through their search nowadays, they try to make it impossible even though it's always been there.

Not to mention the fact, that again, a significant portion of the page is devoted to things that aren't even part of your search

[dreamy rose]

apple doesnt need to make anything.

[amber cairn]

Idk if apple are the best alternative there either, if they moderate search like they moderate their app store then it's just useless.

[chrome vector]

At this point it can literally be better to use another search engine to search for youtube videos. It is asinine. I pray for the day Youtube either mans the fuck up and reverses this bullshit, or an actual competitor pops up. Unironically, at this point, Youtube being broken up under anti-trust is not a bad idea. Say what you will, but if there is a tech company on the internet more deserving of it, it is Youtube. They are a top contender for a legitimate tech monopoly.

[neon mesa]

wew running RDP over 1500km away and only 40ms combined latency

[amber cairn]

Idk most business meetings over the internet at my end has been on slack/teams so can't say I've ever had meetings or business calls over facetime

I've had that setup with Parsec for a few years now, just get a good lightweight laptop with a great screen and stream games when you're not at home

[chrome vector]

this is some deep Youtube shit

i legitimately have no idea what the fuck this is

[grand mason]

I need some help with making a laptop repair/tune up check list. I have no idea what to put for it. This is for my lab in school.

[tiny saffron]

1. Throw the laptop away
2. Buy a new one

I'm joking, how in depth you'll do?

[grand mason]

I just need basic tune up/repair service check list. Like just ideas on what to put.

[tiny saffron]

RAM swap, storage swap and that's all I can think off

There are only so much part you can swap in a laptop

[grand mason]

True

[tiny saffron]

You maybe can add in software checks

[grand mason]

Unless the cpu isn't soldered on the to the board.

[tiny saffron]

Something like looking for bloatware and malware

[grand mason]

Like an anti-virus scan

[tiny saffron]

Something like that

[grand mason]

I already have a digital tool kit on a thumb drive. I'm just trying to find other softwares to use on it.

I don't remember if I have malwarebites on it or not

[tiny saffron]

That i can't help

[grand mason]

Do you not know of that software?

[tiny saffron]

Yep

FYI I'm not techy

[full fossil]

RAM swap, SSD swap, thermal paste replacement, cleaning the fans, cleaning the heatpipe fins

[jaunty compass]

Disgusting

Average avg L

[cosmic ore]

what exactly would cleaning a heatpipe do

the heat transfer occurs on the inside and is sealed

[full fossil]

FINS.

[grand mason]

You mean blow dust and debris from the heatsink

[waxen pond]

hello

[inland oracle]

hello wohn jick

[wind pulsar]

What's the difference between blow dust and dust

[night heron]

does the existence of blow dust imply that there is suck dust

[grand mason]

No?

[wind pulsar]

Does the existence of suck dust imply that there is vacuum dust

[full fossil]

Blow dust feels good

[night heron]

is there dust in a vacuum

[tired glade]

Yes

[grand mason]

Lol

[full fossil]

Hand dusts are ok

[wind pulsar]

Considering dust is just random particles, why not

[night heron]

i guess there would be but itd be stuck to the floor

it wouldnt be floating around mid air because there is no air

[tired glade]

US floor or Normal floor?

[full fossil]

Wtf does that even mean

[wind pulsar]

Does the existence of saw dust imply that there is cut dust

[grand mason]

Floor is floor

[full fossil]

That sounded so racist

[wind pulsar]

[grand mason]

A floor is a floor

[full fossil]

Yep! Doesnt matter what color lmao

[wind pulsar]

Are you sure that you're not the racist one since literally nobody seems to get it

[night heron]

my floor is cooler than your floor

[wind pulsar]

That's true, since my floor is heated

[full fossil]

Souldragon seem to get it

[night heron]

i have an extreme amount of electronic wattage in my room i would hate for the floor to be heated

if i dont have an air conditioner in the window my room will be hotter than it is outside in the summer

[grand mason]

My floor has ethernet and power in it

[wind pulsar]

Just because somebody answers you doesn't mean they get what you said

[night heron]

it was like 38c in my room this weekend

[grand mason]

Frue

[wind pulsar]

Oh yeah, it only turns on when it's like 0C as well

[night heron]

not exaggerating

[wind pulsar]

I want to save as much power as possible so

[night heron]

no insulation on an upper floor under a metal roof facing the sun moment

gonna have to throw the air con in the window soon

[wind pulsar]

Oh yeah, I have air conditioning in the entire house

I don't need it that much since Hokkaido is way up north, but hey, I have it

[full fossil]

17C in london today. It is still cold smh

We need 30C or above

[wind pulsar]

I highly doubt even a minority of Brits agree with you on that one

[night heron]

having it be hot in a country where almost nobody has air con is not good

at least your guys houses have extremely thick insulated walls i suppose

[full fossil]

I live in a basement apartment where it's always 20C

[night heron]

thats the dream

[full fossil]

No aircon needed

[night heron]

a fully finished basement is my favorite part of a house

[full fossil]

No basements in texas 😞

[spiral kraken]

where do you live where it gets that hot

[full fossil]

I'd prefer a house over basement flat but I was born in London so I didn't have a choice lol

[night heron]

it was 94F/34C in new york this weekend

and my room is facing the sun, doesnt have insulation, and is right under a metal roof

[spiral kraken]

damn

[full fossil]

38C is an avg texas summer day

[spiral kraken]

where i live it gets to 33C regularly but it's not extreme heat

[full fossil]

Not too crazy

[restive bison]

Does QD Oled have Burn in?

[night heron]

yes

[full fossil]

All OLED has burn in

[night heron]

current tests being done by rtings are showing that first generation qd oled panels actually burn in faster than lg woleds do

i dont have any uniformity issues on my alienware qd oled monitor after around half a year being used at 250nits though

(100% sdr brightness)

just hide your taskbar and turn off the monitor when youre walking away from your pc

[restive bison]

Yikes, i'm looking to upgrade 8 year old IPS and can't decide between getting a 32inch / 40inch or waiting for QD Oled

[crystal willow]

For some reason my school lab has oled screens and they were messed up after 2 weeks 💀

[restive bison]

I am 100% a fool and would ruin that shit!

[night heron]

monitors are in a tough spot right now because it's a transition period, we're just now getting mini led and oled

and neither are very great yet theyre all compromises

i dont recommend qd oled to anyone unless youre a super nerd

[restive bison]

Yeah might just stick with modern IPS

[night heron]

1440p 240hz and 4k 144hz ips panels are affordable nowadays

[full fossil]

No lol

[night heron]

you can get either of those specs for around $450 in america usually

[restive bison]

Yeah its gotta be 4k this time 144hz and 1ms response time

[full fossil]

That isn't affordable, at least in the UK were the average rent is higher than the average salary

Or maybe our economy is just fucked?

[hearty spear]

it might be, but average rent around me for a 2br apt is... 35-40k/yr? so, also not affordable?

[crystal willow]

it isnt???

2193 to 830

[full fossil]

Go onto zoopla London, put 2b 1bathrooms, select London and sort out student accomodation and retirement homes and most flats go for 2.5k/m

Most people in London earn 27k a year

[crystal willow]

If you live in london I'd assume you'd earn a higher wage than the rest

[full fossil]

Which after taxes leaves you with 2/3 of that

[crystal willow]

you cant compare the average to lonodn ofc

[full fossil]

Average wage is 27k in London

[sonic barn]

That's hot

[sonic barn]

27 kelvin?

[spiral kraken]

yeah but at least it doesnt fluctuate often

[night heron]

same goes for america

[crystal willow]

fuck its 43 here

[sonic barn]

It's 10c here rn

[full fossil]

Where do you live?

[sonic barn]

I'll die at 38c. So hot

[night heron]

but i consider $450 for a monitor affordable when compared to TV, computer, phone, and console pricing

[crystal willow]

fuck i use this name in dread

[crystal willow]

idc uae

[full fossil]

I didn't expect uae citizens to earn more on average than brits. Guess we really are fucked

[unkempt widget]

it was 28C earlier today

literally sweat my ass off walking home earlier

[full fossil]

You can get VA panels for cheaper

[crystal willow]

There is a huge gap between classes here. So an "average" salary wouldnt be a good representation of it

[spiral kraken]

the worst kind of hot is hot, but it's also cloudy and about to rain

[night heron]

y r u arguing just for the sake of arguing

[night heron]

humid heat makes me want to cry

[crystal willow]

hot and moist!!!

[full fossil]

I said citizens, not slave labours.

[spiral kraken]

yeah it sucks

[crystal willow]

I wouldn't call it that tho

[spiral kraken]

just give me sunny weather, i'll take that any day over hot and humid

[night heron]

sunny, hot, and humid

[spiral kraken]

that's worse oh my god

[night heron]

and no breeze

[crystal willow]

Where did you get that from?

[night heron]

[slim mirage]

cold weather as you can just open a window if its too hot and its easier to make heat than it is to air condition something

[spiral kraken]

after rain, sun shining, water evaporating off the ground, and no wind

[night heron]

when it feels like you could drown breathing the air in because it's so thick

[crystal willow]

Its funny, we were taking a 2 weeks holiday in sudan to visit some family now a civil war started and we are stuck in a warzone rn lol

[full fossil]

9% of Londoners make above 100k a year. Programming is the only way to make that before age 25 in the UK

[dreamy rose]

man the weapons in CS2 look like ass, i hope this isn't a Permanent thing and they revert to/ remake the GO textures

[spiral kraken]

honestly how many people are going to switch from csgo to cs2

[dreamy rose]

CS2 is a free update to CS GO

[night heron]

isnt it forced

[spiral kraken]

well i clearly havent been keeping up it seems

[night heron]

it's not a new game it's just an update

[spiral kraken]

interesting stuff

[crystal willow]

Well, I did switch to cs2. The artillery sound like clapping

[dreamy rose]

the weapons are supposed to look "Shiny and new" nah. the abused, Dirty look of GO makes them not look like toys.

[spiral kraken]

a little imperfection adds realism eh

[dreamy rose]

absolutely.

[crystal willow]

IDK why in games the sounds of bullets are so low, irl it fills a whole city

[dreamy rose]

Headphone users

[sonic barn]

I need to go to an interview with a bank

[spiral kraken]

nah you gotta wear ear protection while wearing earphones, that adds more realism

[crystal willow]

No, it is this way irl am hearing it rn lol. It like so loud.

[sonic barn]

I'm gonna try to work min wage as an it junior technician there

It's like 1 hr away from where I live but experience though

Also it's in English despite being in Quebec which is based

[crystal willow]

What type of technition?

[sonic barn]

ATM and the website/api stuff

[crystal willow]

Would that give you minimum wage?

[sonic barn]

I just asked them if they'll do it for min wage over the summer for 35hrs a week and they said I should show up for the interview.

[crystal willow]

Lol we dont have a minumum wage here

[sonic barn]

It's probably 30$ cad an hour but I offered 15.25$ cad

[slow fern]

Whats the minimum wage there

[slow fern]

Cad?

[sonic barn]

Canada dollars

[slow fern]

Oh damn that’s low

[slim mirage]

computer aided design

[crystal willow]

The average per hour wage is 30 dollars

[slim mirage]

ignore the canadian thing thats a myth

[sonic barn]

Its for experience

[slow fern]

Oh makes sense

[spiral kraken]

ltt isnt real

[crystal willow]

must suck getting 15 bucks per hour

[sonic barn]

It does, I make more just from the gov bursaries

But in semester 6 I could possibly work there full time without junior status

[full fossil]

Im an immigrant from the Philippines. Im making bank right now as a Nurse here in the US. I was paying hospitals to work in the philippines when I was a fresh graduate wtf 😠

[sonic barn]

Nice

I would've done an emt thing if I didn't go to college

So like the ambulance people, but instead I went into cs

[crystal willow]

Paying to work is an accually good idea

[full fossil]

I just did my race proud and went to Nursing school like a good young filipino boy

Hated it at first but now amiright

[crystal willow]

Why did you choose to go into the medicine career?

[full fossil]

Just listened to my parents man lol

[slow fern]

I can never stand the smell of that generic medicine smell at hospitals

[full fossil]

I had no dreams/aspirations whatsoever was a bad student growing up.

[crystal willow]

ask jhustine whats that smell

[full fossil]

I dont even smell it anymore lol

[crystal willow]

What is it tho?

[low rain]

My whole family is in Medicare lmao

[full fossil]

I have no clue tbh I dont really smell that over here hehe

[crystal willow]

My whole grandfathers chain where all engineers, until the 7th one

[full fossil]

Im in the hosputal the whole year. Mom is confined too

Ive posted this a few times lol

Mom’s getting better tho. Might get discharged today

[crystal willow]

Its called "antiseptic & chloroform" what is it tho?

[crystal willow]

What laptop is this?

[slow fern]

Same here, I already make more than a person who’s got a bachelorette in computer related courses at 17 by freelancing. so i don’t even know why i’m going to be attending university but i guess its always good to have a base for the future

[glacial sand]

is there anything i can do to improve my pc build? its currently :ryzen 7,800x3d, rtx 4090 24gb, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, 2tb ssd m2, liquid cooler 360
1250watt atx 3.0, mb x670 asus case lian li

[empty iris]

So I’m getting ready to build my first PC that I want to last at least another 5 years. My needs aren’t too high given that a 6 year old Acer Nitro 5 suffices for most of them. I’m already set on getting an i5 12400F, but does an EVGA KO Ultra RTX 2060 seem like a good GPU to pair with it? The other GPU I’m considering is an MSI 3060 12GB. The games I would use it for are BeamNG, Stormworks: Build and Rescue and possibly FiveM in the future.

[full fossil]

[glacial sand]

i heard the ddr5 6000 cl30 is better but idk

[slow fern]

Maybe break into nasa and steal their super computer

[tired glade]

You don't need 360mm aio for that CPU

[spiral kraken]

i didn't know there was a silver variation

[crystal willow]

Why tf do you have a 4090 tho

[full fossil]

I’m just happy I listened to my parents. I don’t regret going to Nursing school now. Was able to move to the US right next to Microcenter. Cant be more happier tbh

[glacial sand]

i tried to google nasa's super computers spec but i couldnt find shit about it

[crystal willow]

They dont have one

[full fossil]

Silver and white. It’s the 2021 ryzen 9 5900hs rtx 3060 variant

[crystal willow]

They rent others to use it for their computations

[spiral kraken]

i already built it i cant change it, does it negatively impact my pc build or is just something thats extra

[crystal willow]

gyat

[slow fern]

Same here, My parents made me enroll in university of Victoria for engineering and to be honest, i have nothing else to do so why not

[glacial sand]

so its something thats extra

[full fossil]

It’ll work out in the end. Good things happen to good sons/daughters. I believe in good karma lmao

[glacial sand]

anyway even if i steal nasa's super computer my electricity bill/power outlet could not handle that shit so yea

[crystal willow]

I've always wanted to do engineering, its so fun

[cosmic ore]

I am definitely an engineer at heart

[glacial sand]

so is my pc the current best pc you can buy that isnt like 40k usd or a super computer?

[tired glade]

Is NASA even operated fastest Super computer out there?

[cosmic ore]

no

[crystal willow]

Am pretty sure it is 40k tho

[cosmic ore]

fastest is Frontier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_(supercomputer)

[crystal willow]

WHY DO YOU NEED A 4090

[glacial sand]

its only 6k usd

[tired glade]

If you can make Super computer for 40k,I will give you Nobel prize

I'm banned from Sweclockers forum now tho, I hope they all burn in hell.

And you would need a giant moving truck which isn’t a very good getaway vehicle

[neon mesa]

The one thing that will change our opinion about anything
Getting banned

[polar fern]

Did you fold at someone else’s home? 😲

[summer folio]

They asked what people thought about cryptocoins/mining,
I said execution by firesquad for crypto coin wallets havers, is the only right thing to do.

[glacial sand]

Nvidia RTX 4090 Founders Edition is the best rtx 4090 or

[tired glade]

Maybe

[polar fern]

A nuclear power plant turbine (the size of your house, typically) outputs something like 600 megawatts 3 phase.

Some do more.

[low rain]

It would be funny if discord got banned cause those leaked documents

[cosmic ore]

what exactly do you mean by a "serviceable graphics card"

[glacial sand]

it wont lol

[tired glade]

Depends on reactor and primary function

[polar fern]

If you plugged your computer into that, the arc alone would atomise you

[cosmic ore]

it would not be because it is protected by Section 230

[spiral kraken]

wasn't that the NIF one

[crystal willow]

nah

[cosmic ore]

we're still a long way from generating net overall power, anyways. Net reaction power is close, but that only considers the energy put directly into the reactants and the energy collected from that. This ignores the total overhead energy for say running the magnets, turbine losses, supercooling, etc.

[tired glade]

Not for Soviet systems

@crystal willow yeah like 22% or something. Pretty exciting, but it needs to be repeatable on a large scale. The laser compression style of fusion may be yielding results before the toroidal style reactors however, the laser compression type is not easily repeatable on a grid scale. Toroidal style can continuously produce power.

[glacial sand]

e

anyway i have a question

[crystal willow]

https://dontasktoask.com

[polar fern]

You would need a continuous loop of these laser compression reactions to sustain the voltage on a scale that would work for the power grid

[tired glade]

Why you know about those sites?

[crystal willow]

python ig

[low rain]

Istg people in Washington can not drive

That’s not actually politics, but yeah probably best not to talk about it in a tech orientated discord channel

@low rain DC?

[night heron]

14 year old tate fans intentionally causing problems and then being shocked when chat is purged

[tired glade]

On phone, wiped lag the app

[polar fern]

The APU in my Lenovo is actually the best one from the zen+ generation so it’s actually pretty decent

[drowsy sable]

assuming im a tate fan is crazyyy

[signal shale]

Yo hows goin

[neon mesa]

Keep Ltt about tech and we're all going to be cool

[dusty rune]

or about star wars vs war planes

[crystal willow]

Wtf is wrong with saying science facts, their is xy and xx chromosomes in the human dna

[drowsy sable]

Thinkin' 'bout me when he brushin' his teeth

[crystal willow]

science is tech

[tired glade]

Tech server

[drowsy sable]

but they were talking about governments earlier?

[crystal willow]

Well, how do you define tech?

[tired glade]

Biology and phycology isn't tech

[neon mesa]

PC tech.

[drowsy sable]

this isn't tech chat though?

[tired glade]

Mainly this server for personal computer technology

[glacial sand]

bro i wanted to be educated

[cosmic ore]

everything is tech if you try hard enough

[dusty rune]

this is crazy

[neon mesa]

Look at the channel topic

[signal shale]

Did that message got deleted?

[night heron]

just ignore them

[tired glade]

That also

[crystal willow]

Well, my computer said that there is xy and xx chromosomes.

[drowsy sable]

you the one contuining the convo bud 💀

[night heron]

they randomly brought it up to intentionally cause problems

[glacial sand]

its public chat

[tired glade]

Oh,even memes

[dusty rune]

langley, i dont think just deleting is gonna stop this

[drowsy sable]

exactly

[vapid moss]

the worst of the chats

[neon mesa]

Tech chat 1 is a big contender

[dusty rune]

not to insinuate anything

[glacial sand]

anyway micheal u still havent educated me

[drowsy sable]

[dusty rune]

no chat would be the best

unbox therapy fell off since 2017

[polar fern]

@dreamy rose

[night heron]

[unborn wyvern]

Your opinion is wrong.

[long briar]

[unborn wyvern]

hell nah milk chocolate better

[dreamy rose]

nothing beats Browser cookies though,

[distant wren]

We could rename it to public tech chat 💬

[polar fern]

I can’t have those types of cherries anymore it gives me a headache

[tiny saffron]

how cherries give headache

[polar fern]

Because of the preservative they soak them in

[dreamy rose]

may as well Call it Tech Chat: Alyx

[tiny saffron]

oof

[distant wren]

[night heron]

yah theyre okay i guess

[median idol]

Those cookies. Date and almond tamariya

[crystal willow]

[summer folio]

Why do they have hats indoors?

[distant wren]

But can we game on the ten thiddy? Does it play gta V?

[spiral kraken]

wasnt unbox in some sort of controversy, i stopped watching him after 2020

[polar fern]

Because it’s comfortable and blocks light from above to reduce eyestrain?

[dreamy rose]

What's not cool?

[summer folio]

[median idol]

Also here's the grandfather (or the OG) of the fruit roll-up.... Qamar ad-Deen (قمر الدين) or dried apricot paste. This was the shit growing up

[dreamy rose]

that part afterwards

[summer folio]

Israel Jaffa Oranges have extra Lithium in the ground-->Fruit.

Love me some Lithium.

[dreamy rose]

i like Water sausages more

[summer folio]

Cool, I prefere Horse Meat Sausage on sandwich tho. It's already smoked.

[summer folio]

Does Mohamed make all of those, or just that particular package?

Manufactured by: Mohamed El Shalalti

[manic torrent]

no, it would be complete chaos. It would be terrible.

[median idol]

Actually he does make most of those for quite a few different brands that sell them. So wouldn't surprise me if he does since I see his name on most of the different ones I get in my area

The Syrian ones at least

Radeon 7 Vega 56 64 and apus all broken right now on mw2

Been playing at 1080p 120 wtf my card can easily Run the game

[meager marsh]

Whats a good used gpu for $750

like a 6900xt 4070 ? Any suggestions thanks

[distant wren]

Watercooled shoes 😄

[distant wren]

6950?

[pastel totem]

It's funny that the flood of graphics cards in the used Market pretty much killed the low end not that bad considering it's better for the environment

Why biot 10:30 for $100 when you can buy a 1070

[low rain]

Pillow

[strange elk]

6950XT definitely. 4070 is basically as good

[full fossil]

You can get 6950xt's for like $500 on ebay

[strange elk]

Lowest I saw was 600 but it was just a glance tbh

[full fossil]

You need to bid and offer like there's no tomorrow

[strange elk]

So either way you're sitting pretty

If hackintosh will be possible with it, I'll get it else I'll just see how cheap the 6900XT gets

Know its not possible now

[sonic barn]

got my taxes done

[distant wren]

Watercooled taxes!

[sonic barn]

didn't jews go extinct

during ww2

just like the dinosaurs

[distant wren]

[summer folio]

You think Radeon GPU prices would been cheaper if Axis had won instead? Bet.

[eager venture]

Used 4080?

[hollow pulsar]

I tried looking for a used 4080. Found multiple sellers in the headline telling me to "read everything". In small text in one picture "Does not contain GPU". They're essentially selling a box, for like, $800. No returns accepted.

[distant wren]

Smart sellers

Only need one to buy your box 📦

[tardy terrace]

It's not really smart to abuse fine print & scam people

[sonic barn]

never said that, but the axis failed once russia left

[distant wren]

Offcourse it aint good but that’s eBay

[sonic barn]

if russia stayed, yes there would be no prices. Everyone here would have a rtx 4080

[distant wren]

Some people sell a box 📦 for 800 a box

[distant wren]

You mean a 4850 512mb

[sonic barn]

you know we have more than enough silicon to produce 4090s for everyone in the world

[full fossil]

$400 a box here @distant wren lol

[distant wren]

Yes but such a waste of silicon

[sonic barn]

look at the sahara desert

[full fossil]

Ill give you 50% discount on my 4080 box

[tardy terrace]

also a fucking waste of electricity

[sonic barn]

we have a whole desert and all the places in sea beds.

[distant wren]

Before you know it we can make better graphics cards and better cpus

[sonic barn]

we'll be running on nuclear energy and probably fusion already with germany leading the helm of the research

[distant wren]

Before you know it your gpu needs a small nuclear core to operate like a iron man science fiction bit

[sonic barn]

also we'll all be under some system of communism, so its our gpu

[tardy terrace]

What is this weird-ass conversation

[sonic barn]

get out liberal

this is for grown ups

[distant wren]

Nah doessnt have to be

[sonic barn]

what do you propose?

[tardy terrace]

I hope you step in a wet spot the next time you put on fresh socks.

[distant wren]

Democratic republic?

[sonic barn]

I hope you step on lego

[tardy terrace]

I'm used to that from childhood

[distant wren]

I hope you step in a puddle when you just put on a fresh new sock

[hollow pulsar]

I've seen racism. I've seen murder. I've seen all kinds of things under the sun. But THIS. This is beyond unacceptable.

[distant wren]

I hope all your doors would almost close and leave a gap so it would leave a nasty draft at your home

[tardy terrace]

May both sides of your pillow be warm.

[sonic barn]

I hope your computer refuses to turn on when you have another assignment or project assigned

[distant wren]

That’s a blessing in the winter

[tardy terrace]

and yet winter has already passed

[distant wren]

Yay 😀 new laptop 💻 time. That’s actually a blessing broken laptops will be replaced with new ones

[low rain]

I hope someone closes your car door by gripping the window and shutting it closed

[sonic barn]

I hope your car has its transmission fail on a bridge

[spiral kraken]

i hope you always find sand in your bed

[distant wren]

Nah that’s too general it has to be slightly inconvenient

[low rain]

Jokes on u, I don’t have a car.

[sonic barn]

you can fix that

[spiral kraken]

it can't be too extreme, but it has to annoy the shit out of someone daily

[distant wren]

I hope every time you put gas in your car , your number on the gas pump is off by 1 so it’s like 57,01 instead of 57

[spiral kraken]

that's only mildly dissatisfying

[distant wren]

Yesh that’s what I’m going for

[sonic barn]

jokes on you we don't have pennies anymore

[distant wren]

Or I hope when you drive and you turn there is always an old grandpa just driving very slowly.

[distant wren]

Doessnt matter I hope it’s rounded off weirdly for you so you have to pay more

[spiral kraken]

what if every time you microwave something the center is always cold and the outside is always burnt

[sonic barn]

I hope you have someone eating in the middle of the road, blocking everyone from passing by

[distant wren]

That’s just the functionality of a microwave

[spiral kraken]

true

[hollow pulsar]

May your comma's and period's be swapped for all text and numbers,

[distant wren]

I hope everytime you go to the dentist you have a cavaty in a bad place

[sonic barn]

may you always thank your waiters and tell em to enjoy their meals

[hollow pulsar]

LOL

[distant wren]

Me2? And the waiters sit next to you and eat with you

[sonic barn]

everytime

[spiral kraken]

that's one way to make sure they're never going out to eat

[sonic barn]

it works with delivery as well

[low rain]

What’s Y2K

[sonic barn]

and groceries, just to add something worse

also, may you always get brown spots in your bananas or your food is expired always

[spiral kraken]

may your bread always be 1 day from expiration when you buy it

[sonic barn]

may your water be tainted with the taste of a sour lemon (or taste buds)

[spiral kraken]

may you be cursed to drink dasani forever

[tardy terrace]

but lemon water is good...

[sonic barn]

may everything you eat be extremely spicy to the point it burns your tongue

[spiral kraken]

that's a little too much

[sonic barn]

just imagine dying of putting it out, try ice cream and it makes it worse

I'll allow water to be able to put it out

[spiral kraken]

nah, it's gotta be a random drink

something they won't expect, like carbonated drinks

that stuff normally makes it even worse

are we just discussing how to be satan at this point

[wind pulsar]

I wish idiocy would but here we are

[molten drift]

Akira... Well played.

[sonic barn]

it was simply a question, or thought

[tardy terrace]

Mmm, no. 100% bait

[sonic barn]

no cap

[wind pulsar]

[sonic barn]

also stalin was actually the person that saved everyone from ww2

that's what my history textbook says

[molten drift]

Also Akira. I hit 57 as mch the game is fun but I don't know if it has the sub another month fun.

[sonic barn]

57 means you're a boomer

[molten drift]

Can you please stop spreading factually incorrect information.

[sonic barn]

were you there

[spiral kraken]

man not this again

[sonic barn]

imagine complaining on discord

[molten drift]

If your calling someone a boomer. I doubt you were even in the last millennium.

[sonic barn]

Is that an assumption?

[molten drift]

Is it a fact?

[sonic barn]

no

[wind pulsar]

Yeaaah, FFXIV is super super social, so if you want to experience the game you effectively must find the circle of people you want to hang around with

[sonic barn]

because it isn't confirmed

@bright ledge knows what is correct

Wtf is Y2K

[tardy terrace]

Aaand I feel old again.

[molten drift]

Y: year 2k 2000

[median idol]

Same I feel like aged a decade reading that question xD

[molten drift]

I feel old every time it's humid out

[wind pulsar]

That was a software bug around year 2000 that affected pretty much every single software developer

[tardy terrace]

because pre-2000, pc clocks didn't know how to count past 12/31/1999 @ 23:59

so everyone thought that all the pc's of the world would crash & burn

[summer folio]

it's an expression for people who are too lazy to type 4 digits

y2k = 3
2000 = 4

[tardy terrace]

y2k is also the name of the event I'm describing

[summer folio]

Now, put all PC clocks at the year 1969

[hollow pulsar]

"Y2K bug" was the term used to refer to the bug back in the day. So it is known as that. Say "2000 bug" and many won't know what you are talking about.

[low rain]

Oh Alr

[summer folio]

Kinda dumb how Linux time starts at 1970

[spiral kraken]

you mean unix or

[summer folio]

What I time travel to 1969, my SUperior Elite Linux distro will break?!?

[spiral kraken]

oh

[summer folio]

unix yeah, non-windows

[spiral kraken]

aaaand there we go

[fluid ridge]

windows is probably better for 99% of most things for most average people

[spiral kraken]

he said it folks

[summer folio]

Superior even!

[fluid ridge]

i would not go as far as call linux trash but windows is definitely my first pick

[silk hound]

linux is ass

i used it for awhile hated it

[tardy terrace]

time since unix epoch occured in seconds

[night heron]

meanwhile every server for every game you play is ran on linux or bsd

[silk hound]

cool its good for that not average use

your comparison isnt vaild

[night heron]

pretty much everything you use except your gaming pc runs linux or bsd

[summer folio]

You Sure? Heard Windows 2003 was popular.

[nova needle]

Or your average office/family pc

[tardy terrace]

it has been 53 years

[nova needle]

And certain PCs in metros or cashier systems

[night heron]

your playstation, your phone, your tv, all your smart home devices

[silk hound]

no

[summer folio]

Pretty sure most system critical PCs run Windows XP

[night heron]

your router, every server for every game you play

[tardy terrace]

your blu-ray player probably runs java!

[wind pulsar]

Windows users? 1.6 billion.
Pfft, rookie numbers. Linux? 2.5 billion

[summer folio]

[nova needle]

Pretty sure most system critical systems run Linux

[fluid ridge]

the US military still pays microsoft for XP support IIRC

[nova needle]

Have fun with your Windows 11 at home when all the online services run on Linux

[polar fern]

Yay chat is back

[fluid ridge]

yeah but that's backend servers, most people use windows as their desktop

[night heron]

playstation os is a modified version of bsd

[nova needle]

IDC about the US military

[median idol]

I remember all those "Turn your computer off before midnight December 31, 1999" stickers

[silk hound]

99.9%

[wind pulsar]

Nvm, it's around 3.5 billion, woop

[night heron]

so are macos and ios

[tardy terrace]

XP's great for legacy machines who's creators never bothered to update the software, or did and charges an absurd monthly price

[summer folio]

You don't like Jewish Jaffa Oranges with extra Lithium?

[fluid ridge]

the US military is arguably the most critical system in america lol

[night heron]

good thing i said linux and bsd in my comment

[silk hound]

ever tried running a NVidia card on linux ill wait

[nova needle]

So?

[fluid ridge]

you cannot make an assertion "xyz is very critical" and then when disproved say "i dont care about that"

[tardy terrace]

That's Nvidia's fault, they don't release drivers for linux

[polar fern]

US military? Naw. More like grid operators.

[silk hound]

nope linux fault

[night heron]

the last time i spoke to an it guy from the military he said the stuff his area uses runs linux

[nova needle]

I can, though

[median idol]

Oh boy, it's the traditional Political argument on Pub Chat.

[night heron]

redhat or ubuntu lts

[summer folio]

Better Yet:
Run Games on MacOs with Nvidia.

[fluid ridge]

then you are obviously not here in good faith and i think it's not worth continuing forwards, thanks for your time 🫡

[silk hound]

god help me

[nova needle]

Or, this is going to blow your mind, I am not American

[night heron]

i use windows on my main pc but saying linux is bad is just a skill issue

[polar fern]

@median idol politics isn’t allowed so dunno what ya talkin bout

[silk hound]

[fluid ridge]

truly lmao

[polar fern]

[nova needle]

I'm very glad I am not.

the rest of the western world loves shitting on america but america is the reason why said western domain exists ahahaha

[polar fern]

@silk hound https://linuxmint.com

[silk hound]

i dont open links sorry bro

[fluid ridge]

linux is just lacking in a lot of places as a endpoint environment

[nova needle]

lmso

[summer folio]

While other(European) Server has image perms after X exp earned by chatting.
LTT Amreican server have Pay-2-Win/image perm only.
Typical Somehow. 🇺🇸

[fluid ridge]

excellent for backend stuff, that lackingness turns into a double edged sword since it probably runs a lot faster for a lot more tasks

[silk hound]

linux has potential gaming and daily use wise but it needs some help

[nova needle]

lmao

[fluid ridge]

LTT is canadian

[polar fern]

“I don’t open links so I can’t learn, sorry bro”

[fluid ridge]

gaming is still lacking on linux

[silk hound]

cry harder sorry i dont trust u and any link anyone sends

[polar fern]

And all the stuff that you’re saying is basically wrong, but sure act like you know what you’re talking about

[fluid ridge]

bro linux stans have been coping about that momentum for 20 years

[polar fern]

It’s a very good look. 🤣

[fluid ridge]

remember when they lined up outside of microsoft and demanded a refund on the windows license provided by the OEM they bought

[silk hound]

everyone has an opinion i said mines and you are butt hurt stfu

[polar fern]

It’s not an opinion you’re just wrong

[nova needle]

If you search for Linux Mint on the interwebs, you're gonna find that that is the official website of ... you guessed it, Linux Mint.

[summer folio]

[rare zenith]

Another windows vs Linux argument?

[wind pulsar]

So you're calling everything in America 'America' even though there's 35 different countries in those with vastly different cultures that like.. differ from the US

you are wanna bottle ?

[nova needle]

As well as having two continents

[fluid ridge]

it's too bad the CIA had terry unalived

[median idol]

Nah it's MS-DOS

Only one country in the two continents has “america” in its name, figure it out

[rare zenith]

Nah it's windows vista

[fluid ridge]

ok let's be real canada and america are like basically the same country

[silk hound]

that windows 8 launch edition with all the bugs lol

[fluid ridge]

something like 90% of all canadians live within an hours drive to the US border

[hollow pulsar]

Not.... really. Different laws. Different rules. Different language in one province...

[fluid ridge]

but with that being said the world is america's hat

[polar fern]

There’s also the United Mexican States.

[rare zenith]

Canada
United states
Mexico

you figure it out

[nova needle]

TFW you don't know jack shit lol

[fluid ridge]

i mean sure, but culturally they are pretty similar, sharing a lot of various traits with each other, being the world's longest open border, majority of canadians living very close to america, dependent on american trade, etc.

People,when Linus started AMD challenge?

[polar fern]

Dunno

When he was born?

[hollow pulsar]

I've always disagreed with the "North America, Central America, South America" designations. So to be honest, if I'm wrong, it's because I think everyone else is wrong on that. lol.

[nova needle]

You just talking here is enough, no need to elaborate lol. And this is also not the place for that.

[hollow pulsar]

To me, central America would be between the US and the South American continent.

[summer folio]

If someone says "America" I always assume they mean Cuba.

[polar fern]

Cooobaaa

[hollow pulsar]

Or get rid of the "Central America" designation altogether. But I digress.

[polar fern]

Batista had a bad day.

[wispy marsh]

Hello public chat

[fluid ridge]

it seems to me you are some guy not from north america attempting to assert yourself as some sort of knowledgeable entity on either canada or america/their relationship lol

[polar fern]

@wispy marsh hayyy

[fluid ridge]

i can tell you having lived in canada my whole life and been in states ranging from california all the way to montana that yes, canada and america are pretty similar lol

[polar fern]

Ok everyone has a big eggplant can we move to another topic

MMX

Was MMX a good move & why?

[hollow pulsar]

I remember one time in CompUSA, a couple of people dressed in these bunny suits were giving out little plushies. To this day, I have a blue bunny-suit plushie one of them gave me.

[nova needle]

I'm not the biggest smort, I just know enough to see that you don't know jack shit. ^^

[opal spindle]

Legit thought that was a power rangers promo for a few minutes...

[wind pulsar]

I found it funny how someone mentioned Greenland belonging to Denmark and implying it not belonging to NA even though Canada is literally still tied to the UK (Well rather the House Windsor) and it still being called part of NA

[fluid ridge]

again your refusal to elaborate on your claim makes your claim hold 0 water and you are literally saying things for the sake of saying things, if you have an actual counterargument to what I said please go ahead, if not, you are clearly here in bad faith and probably think you understand more than you really do

[hollow pulsar]

I supposed North America could be referred to geographically, continentally, or politically.

[tired glade]

Or Na market

[fluid ridge]

canada is basically entirely independent from the crown ATP but being part of the commonwealth means we are also technically still under british influence - as for greenland, it's definitely still part of north america

[median idol]

Ah I have an Pentium MMX rig in the basement. And it can play games from the early 90s till about 98 or so. Though some games like Unreal, Quake II, and Half life is kind of pushing it for the system with it's Voodoo1 with Mystique 220 combo

[full fossil]

You have a WORKING potential mmx rig????

[hollow pulsar]

In what way is Greenland considered part of North America? Honestly, Greenland was always it's own thing on maps when I was growing up.

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, main difference is that Greenland is actually super dependent on Denmark while Canada doesn't need to care

[wind pulsar]

Geographically. Politically it's definitely part of Europe

[polar fern]

Nice. Do you watch LGR?

[fluid ridge]

common canada W fr 💪 instead we choose to be dependent on america RAAAAAH 🦅 🇺🇸 💪

[wind pulsar]

Oh nah, Canada is 100% dependent on America

[polar fern]

Noice

[wind pulsar]

But like.. who in NA isn't

[fluid ridge]

it is what it is, id rather be dependent on america than on the UK

speaking of britain went from ruling a quarter of the entire planet not that long ago, to some tiny patch of land in the middle of europe

potentially the hardest fall of any empire

[hollow pulsar]

They still exist, so they have that going for them still.

[polar fern]

Sigh.

[fluid ridge]

i guess that's a bonus

[full fossil]

To be fair a lot of that was willful decolonization

[fluid ridge]

that is true too

[wind pulsar]

I meaaan, that also applies to the French, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese

[full fossil]

And honestly britain’s biggest Ls post decolonization is right now
They’re a trainwreck economically

[fluid ridge]

also to answer your question greenland is on the same tectonic plate north america lies on so it's geographically part of NA

[full fossil]

Hello, I want to ask, I made my DT 990 Pro DETACHABLE CABLE mini xlr, but why the right side is not noisy enough, than other side is normal?

Good answers from all concerning Greenland. Well done.

greenland and iceland should switch names

[hollow pulsar]

LOL.

[summer folio]

Nobody is dependent on the UK.
Maybe Ireland? kek

[summer folio]

No, it is intentional. Just Viking Stuff. Tricksters.

[fluid ridge]

the brits are dependent on the UK now that brexit happened

Iceland go it's name from a Viking who described the landscape during winter, Greenland go its name from a serial killer that wanted people to go onto the island

It did not exist before they visited.

the americans pronounce bottle of water like boddle of wadder

Just go to their colony instead, heard stuff was cheaper there. 🇺🇸

USB a should adapt to the center pin consept type c uses that way you don't have a 150% to plug a USB a head upsidedown

[full fossil]

Usb C is USB…
You’re thinking of USB A

Which has been around for 25 years+ now

[shut violet]

…. I can’t write a reply to that

[wind pulsar]

Close to 29, yeah

[full fossil]

And there are usb A cables capable of going in either way, JBL has them and they’re crap

[tardy terrace]

Had one of those cables, the center plastic broke with a week of use

I ran out of milk for my coffee... So I used bailey's. Not the best idea

A shot for breakfast wasn't the smartest idea.

Welp, time to stock up on candles haha.

[polar wedge]

but 2250 $

[tardy terrace]

What

[hearty spear]

YEs. It was.
Not because it was successful, but because it began the concept of including dedicated processing on CPUs and GPUs to do things really well. Which today would include shit like CUDA and Video Encoders/Decoders.

[hearty spear]

and also go very nasal on EVERYTHING

[tardy nebula]

Is MSI Mystic Light a good program for controlling RGB?

[hearty spear]

If you can make everything work: OpenRGB or Signal RGB are two open-source alternatives to the mountain of custom RGB crap from OEMs

[real comet]

Is the LG OLED Flex a Glorious god level GLOSSY🤤 screen or an ugly abomination matte😷 screen?

[plain dome]

I'm a big fan of Signal

only issue is my keyboard not being compatible

[hearty spear]

Matte > Glossy, you heathen

[opal spindle]

Okay. Uh. Can I ask if you were playing a particular MMORPG?

[valid siren]

should start selling thermocouples for the heat generated by modern high end PCs lol

[real comet]

Matte looks like oily sand, horrible picture quality. Glossy makes everything sharp and crisp

[dull tapir]

mcafee tattoed swhackd

[hearty spear]

uhhhhh.... what?

[dull tapir]

no one knows what was the point of his countdown website

[crystal willow]

what is it?

[real comet]

It has a grainy double layer look to it, where as glossy is just clean, sharp and direct

[hearty spear]

I have absolutely never seen that issue.

[dull tapir]

it was a countdown website according to description it was supposed to release some cia documents

but it looks like it was just a joke

[hearty spear]

John McAfee was an absolute psycho. Don't ever listen to anything he had part of.

[dull tapir]

well he was eccentric but he was also a smart guy

[hearty spear]

no, he was an absolute loon.

[real comet]

That’s what it looks like to me with matte screens. Also you never answered my question about the Lg OLED flex

[hearty spear]

I have never looked at one, so... No fuckin' clue.

[dull tapir]

well if you ignore his third world country drug and hooker scandal he still knew a lot about tech

[hearty spear]

we don't need to bring politics into this.

[dull tapir]

facts

[hearty spear]

<@&750150305383186585> politics now.

[dull tapir]

chill was just a joke

it is all in good faith

idk i like mcafee

i do not care if he lived eccentric life

at this point he did nothing worse than charlie sheen

[hearty spear]

Thank you mod.

[dull tapir]

hope we can have a positive chat

[night heron]

the flex is a semigloss panel like most tvs

[azure slate]

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well,
I've just set up a virtual machine using Oracle VM VirtualBox, I've tried to share my integrated GPU or my external gpu with the virtual machine but I failed, (yes I googled that but I didn't find any solution) I will be thankful for any advice, Thank you

[night heron]

it can't be solid glass like their oled tvs because it has to bend, but it's very much glossy

[dull tapir]

glossy is annoying but contrast is so much better

[night heron]

i find matte annoying

i dont want a giant white frosted blob covering half my screen because there's a tiny light source behind me

along with destroying contrast and clarity

[real comet]

This guy gets it

[night heron]

flat panels laminated to smooth glass is the way

the macbook pro mini led panel has no viewing angle degradation at all because it's laminated against the glass

I been looking for the perfect monitor but it doesn’t exist yet.
