canned food and planes/trucks/boats

[polar fern]

Solving world hunger doesn’t mean delivering food to people 🤣

[native maple]

Dear sirs and madams, I require assistance with a laptop suggestion.

[vapid smelt]

steam deck or a macbook air

[polar fern]

I suggest getting a laptop for work and not for gaming

[forest valve]

Then how else do you expect them to get food if it is not brought to them?

[polar fern]

Do you not understand farming?

[forest valve]

That's great but farming takes time

[vapid smelt]

If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

[native maple]

Neither, I wanna switch from a Macbook Pro to Windows again

[polar fern]

Wait, I take that back - a stupid question to ask someone who clearly doesn’t understand how food works

[steep girder]

In some parts of the world. Sometimes yeah there's like generally dictatorship which ensures any foreign aid packages never make it to the people suffering. Those have to go first one way or another if you want to help them lol

[native maple]

I bloody hate MacOS

[vapid smelt]

but why downgrade

[forest valve]

He's ignoring this

[vapid smelt]

[polar fern]

World hunger is not necessarily caused by governmental issues

[native maple]

How's it a downgrade tho? MacOS is for hipsters

[forest valve]

Unless this goes away (which it never will) it cannot be solved

[polar fern]

This is clearly a topic that you have no clue what you’re talking about. I suggest like I said before finding different source material before commenting on it. @forest valve

[vapid smelt]

apple makes powerful laptops with amazing battery life, is it not possible to install a new os?

[steep girder]

Soviet is good example but to be honest it might be the most amazing case in the history of socialism. It's the same old socialism as everything else by design but somehow it kept itself going

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0-iI6FzHww

[polar fern]

😑

[forest valve]

No, you just don't like that what I am saying goes against your narrative.

[polar fern]

There is no narrative but okay

[native maple]

My 2019 Macbook Pro disagrees

[vapid smelt]

ah its the shitty intel one

[native maple]

Yep

[polar fern]

Sorry, a bunch of words that you toss out in a chat towards me is not a replacement for actual knowledge about sustainability and food insecurity

[steep girder]

Honestly US built nuke first. I keep forgetting this. Soviet union is the archetypal doomsday device inventor lol. They only stocked up on nukes because US had them. And so it continued lol.

Having said that, US only used it once for the very good intentions to end WW2. It's still tragic ultimately because that's what weapons do. So a really powerful one...

[forest valve]

So I need sources but you don't?

Where is your research?

[vapid smelt]

you could get a framework laptop if you dont plan on using it for gaming

[forest valve]

This conversation is going nowhere because like I said you just are trying to make it seem as if I don't know what I am talking about because it goes against your view on the matter

[native maple]

I do plan on gaming tho. Thinking about getting the Legion Pro 7i

[forest valve]

I'm doing no such thing to you

[polar fern]

World hunger really only has two problems and dozens of solutions. Parking yourself in a chat and claiming that it is unsolvable and insulting people that point this hypocrisy out to you does not make you correct.

[forest valve]

I didn't insult anyone, you insulted me

[stray apex]

We do in fact produce enough calories to feed everyone on earth

[polar fern]

I don’t have “a view on the matter”. I have a decade and a half of knowledge and actually doing something about the issue.

[steep girder]

Well it's scary when you consider how the only reason soviet union stocked up on nukes was because US did it. Nobody blew up because it's threatening for both sides plus everybody else who'd say it isn't fair theyre involved lmao

[polar fern]

@stray apex yep I’m aware

[steep girder]

But those are world powers. They're also still ensuring world peace in some messed up way ultimately

[forest valve]

This seems very condescending to me

Why do I need to do research but you don't?

[vapid smelt]

it has pretty weak battery life

[stray apex]

I hope the framework 16 is good

[hollow pulsar]

Same

[polar fern]

This is why it’s important to make good decisions in terms of which products you purchase and which services you pay for. Ultimately this will decide what the world looks like.

[steep girder]

For some reason only germans and russians were crazy enough to be that far in quantum mechanics + equipment. Nobody else could build a nuke. Now apparently there's enough unaccounted for missing enriched uranium or whatever for many rogue nukes to be built

[polar fern]

That’s been a concern of mine for a very long time now.

[manic torrent]

uhhhhhh

[steep girder]

So like terrorists holding nuke lol. Or some crazy guy.

[stray apex]

Uh
Germany and Russians definitely were not doing quantum research

[manic torrent]

that's complete garbage

[steep girder]

Europeans were mostly.

[stray apex]

Germany and USSR weren't even doing atomic stuff lmao

[vapid smelt]

Only a idiot would use a nuke

[steep girder]

Yes but idiots exist lol. To be honest just somebody crazy who dgaf lol.

[forest valve]

Or someone who wants to just cause absolute destruction and has no care for life

[manic torrent]

atomic bombs are something that cost a bazillion dollars to even prove they were POSSIBLE. Of course, once you know it's possible, everyone started developing them

[timid meadow]

I cant count how many times smart people have said "only an idiot would do x" then it happened

[manic torrent]

you'll find those people are not that common

[native maple]

Yeah, that's my only gripe with it. Can't find anything better than that in the price range.

[forest valve]

But usually they have lots of money

[steep girder]

All it takes is a suicidal guy who happens to also be nihilist or somehow intentionally misanthropic.

[polar fern]

Hey, I know let’s use atomic bombs to mine out ultra high speed corridors

[stray apex]

Nihilists are generally quite bad at becoming leaders of nuclear states

[polar fern]

Uh

[manic torrent]

Did you know that america actually designed a nuclear jet engine?

[vapid smelt]

every country in the world would attack a terrorist group that used a nuke

[polar fern]

@manic torrent the reign of terror because everyone behind the exhaust would get radiation poisoning

[vapid smelt]

ive seen the engine in person!

[manic torrent]

which is why it's literally called "the nuclear option"

[forest valve]

Turn it on, no balls

[manic torrent]

oh, it was terrifying. 😄

[long briar]

I mentioned this just earlier ahaha

[steep girder]

Tbh nuclear power plants came out of it too one way or another. Pretty sure everybody knew you could get more energy out of it for good use. Thing is it's more like things cascaded into discovering nuclear physics and particles. Literally a couple centuries and they'd first noticed all these other physics lol

[polar fern]

Some of the ideas that people came up with in the 1950s about atomic power and weapons were pretty bonkers

[manic torrent]

on the bright side, nuclear bombs stopped bat bombs being used

[long briar]

nuclear bombs stopped nuclear bombs from being used... technically

[steep girder]

Eventually it lead to the inevitable discovery of how 'easy' it is to stack heavy isotopes of crap to the point where chain reaction happens lmao.

[vapid smelt]

"Insane Plan"

[stray apex]

I mean, literally
The US would probably be a bit more nuke happy if nobody else had them
We would also probably have seen a war between world powers at some point

[steep girder]

So bomb for sure. You can't control that lol. Weren't they just largely experimenting with the exact ratios and elements at first?

[polar fern]

I think we’ve already had enough trouble with bats, especially recently. We should just leave themalone.

[manic torrent]

the first critical mass was pulled apart by hand.

[hollow pulsar]

Although we can speculate, we know for a fact there were a LOT of folks who did not like that we nuked Japan.

[polar fern]

Demon core

[idle nymph]

Nuclear powered pc when

[stray apex]

Mostly Japanese at the time

[manic torrent]

incendiary bombs on bats. The bats would roost in roofs, and then set the whole city on fire. Arguably worse than a nuke tbh

[polar fern]

Never. The radiation will screw up the circuitry.

[hollow pulsar]

I was speaking of US citizens

[idle nymph]

Who are the bats

[vapid smelt]

already a thing, allot of places use nuclear power plants for cities

[manic torrent]

actual bats.

[long briar]

It'd just melt everything, that's about it

[idle nymph]

We bombed fucking bats ?

When tf

[stray apex]

The strategic bombers that conducted the firebombing of Tokyo reportedly smelled like burnt human flesh upon their return
This is probably apocryphal, but what's not is fire tornados that sucked people into them

[manic torrent]

researched and planned - but project was canned due to nukes.

[long briar]

if you're saying using a nuclear generator... the cooling required for the rods would make it completely unfeasable for like the 50w one that would fit in your room would generate... minus another 100w to cool the water

[polar fern]

No. There’s more going on than just heat and gamma radiation. There is other wavelengths that screw around with the timing.

[steep girder]

Pretty much every first catastrophe involving nuclear physics looks suspicious. It's always as if they were being observed as an experiment

[idle nymph]

What the fuck were they smoking

[manic torrent]

yeah, firebombing civillian targets ...

[manic torrent]

The smoke of barns being set fire by bats.

[stray apex]

They accidentally burned down a nearby US base during testing so
It probably would've worked

[long briar]

wait isn't that part of the animal guided missiles thing

[polar fern]

We are definitely an experiment. There’s no way things that I have experienced could go wrong the way that they have without it being some sort of setup 🤣

[long briar]

there was one with pigeons guiding missiles...

[manic torrent]

no, that was pigeons in missiles - and that worked too.

[vapid smelt]

good thing we where smart enough to decide to NUKE civilians instead , think of the public outcry if we used fire bats

[long briar]

yea that's what I was remembering

[steep girder]

I'm pretty sure the manhattan project dudes already knew about rockets that go to space. And yet the nuke was built first lol. The rockets can wait half a century

[idle nymph]

Yeah but still why the fuck bomb bats ? I tought at first it was a typo for japs, but damn bombing bats ? And bombing pigeons ? What the fuck

[forest valve]

If Russia didn't have nukes the US would have bombed them into the stone age

[steep girder]

The moon's not goin anywhere lol

[polar fern]

During wartime, I don’t think people would care. The level and intensity of xenophobia at that point was pretty bad.

@steep girder actually the moon is leaving

[stray apex]

Well, we don't really know if the current global stability would've developed without nuclear weapons

[polar fern]

@forest valve uh no

[steep girder]

And then lol to be honest space race started when one of them switched from nukes to space shuttle

[long briar]

the pigeons were trained to guide a missile towards a target...

[vapid smelt]

i doubt the ussr made nukes work 😛

[polar fern]

Tsar bomba

[idle nymph]

💀What, i knew about dolphin finding water mines but pigeon guiding missile ?

[steep girder]

Well yeah. They knew that back then too. But it's definitely too far from now to consider

First gotta make nuke to hold off other team nuke because we might end up all going to the moon together lmfao

[vapid smelt]

we should nuke it when it leaves us

[polar fern]

When the moon first formed, it was close enough, that when it was rising, it would fill up most of the sky.

[idle nymph]

Fuck it, lets nuke everything but USA

[polar fern]

That wouldn’t work either

[vapid smelt]

but taiwan makes us our computer parts

[polar fern]

there is a thing called nuclear fallout, and also global trade is something that we rely on very heavily.

[long briar]

I mean there was even that entire thing abt trying to give the WW2 german warlord (can't say name) estrogen in hopes to calm his fury...

[idle nymph]

Then we let Taiwan and the thing that give us food and Material alive

[polar fern]

Also, from an ethical point of view wouldn’t really be an option

[idle nymph]

[long briar]

reality is truely stranger than fiction

[steep girder]

Lol brb let me trade those three nakeds outside porkchop and firewood

[vapid smelt]

my grandma and all her siblings got cancer from nuclear fallout

[polar fern]

The amount of elevated background radiation would also increase the amount of mutations cancers and other reproductive issues

[steep girder]

Steps out of cave trying as best as possible not to breathe in single piece of ash into lungs

[wise tundra]

Never thought how much power LED strips draw. I was looking at SK6812 strips and the product listing says 60LEDs/m draws 18W/m and I'd need 2m of it so I'd be drawing 36W for some god damn LEDs

[manic torrent]

german rocket tech was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than US. why do you think all the rocket scientists didn't get imprisoned for war crimes?

[long briar]

that depends on how many nits

[idle nymph]

Then send bats bomb every where instead

[manic torrent]

becayse bats roost in roofs. and pigeons are surprisingly good and trainable.

[polar fern]

@wise tundra depends on the spec. Some of them are very low quality and use more power.

[long briar]

a rule of thumb is 1w every 100 nits

[idle nymph]

Funny

[manic torrent]

There was also chicken triggers for bombs. When the chicken died, the bomb either defused or triggered.

[vapid smelt]

just dont waist money on rgb strips ez pz

[long briar]

+1, just use rgb panels

[polar fern]

Bbl

[wise tundra]

I wanted white LEDs behind my monitor that I could control using Hyperion

[manic torrent]

.... if they are on full white.

[steep girder]

Yup lol. But I think nukes would have been at least invented already without world wars. The question is when would we have built the first one and it became known to somebody else capable?

[wise tundra]

Well white is what I'm after

[manic torrent]

you want full RGBW lights behind your monitor and use hyperionHDR

[manic torrent]

why would you need hyperion if they are just white.

[idle nymph]

Lmao

[manic torrent]

also if they are just white you don't need RGB.

[wise tundra]

Cause I wanna manage the brightness

:3

[manic torrent]

... you can do that with a white LED strip

[long briar]

yea...

[wise tundra]

But it wouldn't sync with my monitor, would it?

[long briar]

you can manually set with a dimmer...?

[manic torrent]

oh so you want the brightness to ... sync with your monitors brightness? what?

[long briar]

or is 10cm too far for you

[manic torrent]

ok lets go back to the start - what are you trying to achieve.

[wise tundra]

Based on what's on my screen

[wise tundra]

If I have a webpage one that's white, it would be at 100% brightness, if I'm on a site that's in dark mode, the surrounding would be dark

[manic torrent]

Why not RGB... like that

[wise tundra]

Cause I just want white

[steep girder]

The guy who really set off something important was Russian though. Went by Dmirtriy Mendeleev. He discovered that everything seems to be made of different stuff with varying masses. He got it wrong in terms of arranging them properly though. Still, finally found something that points to what stuff is made of lol

[stray apex]

a russian scientist also wrote the paper that modern radar stealth is based on

unfortunately for the russians
the soviets never really followed up on it, but the translated paper was picked up by some americans

[steep girder]

Yeah but my point is around that time an insane cascade of discoveries began where one thing led to the next. Particle physics baby.

[manic torrent]

that's literally how science works

[steep girder]

Today, it looks like the opposite happened long ago. There's no more physics. Everything is made of numbers. All you can say.

...as far as we see

[wise tundra]

But what if I forget a wikipedia page open on my machine, now I have 36W pulled for some god damn LEDs. Not worth it

[steep girder]

But there's also like no limit found yet to how much other crap happens as you increase the energy of beam lmao

[manic torrent]

.... what?

you don't make sense

[wise tundra]

Wikipedia pages are white, if the screen is bright it will set the LEDs bright, so more power draw

[manic torrent]

yes. You're so concerned about a POSSIBLE 36W power draw (which btw if you have RGBW won't be happening)

[wise tundra]

Oh right

So it's would probably be something like 9W?

[manic torrent]

and you run your browser full screen (f11) mode all the time?

yes that's much more realistic.

[wise tundra]

Not F11 but

[steep girder]

Yes all white pixels is worst for led. Screens with backlight though always max power draw no matter what the picture

Ironically theres usually no black until you turn off screen lmao. Don't discount the blacks on LED too. It looks good

[manic torrent]

also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dark_mode

[steep girder]

Some 4k samsung 'UHD' TV I have tries to turn on back light in sections

[manic torrent]

my screen has black, don't lump me in with your pov spec garbage 😄

[steep girder]

I mean if you set it to lower brightnesses it can be decent

[wise tundra]

My target is 80cd

[steep girder]

I just got used to it like everybody else and learned to percieve it as black lmao. Screen off is another metastate which is indicated by actual black.

[low rain]

I love the infographics show

[manic torrent]

looking at my IPS screens next to my OLED, oooooh boy you can tell the difference between black and black

[steep girder]

Honestly it helped sometimes like tube tvs that showed black screen if you unplugged console from AV or turned it off. I'd notice that tv has to be turned off because I forgot it lol

Or I heard the ultrasoundish pitch as if I had tinnitus and then realized I shouldn't. Must be TV lol. LED ironically you can forget it on black screen and it didn't burn in

[wise tundra]

I have a Lenovo D32Q-20 31.5" and it's a 1440p 75Hz IPS monitor. Been happy with it

I think I only paid like 170€ for it

[manic torrent]

https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR

[steep girder]

Yeah 75Hz is high enough I think. Apparently it's around 200Hz irl by some age.

But 75Hz is nice. Literally anything above 60. Even CRT monitors 60Hz was the one that gave everyone headache. 75 was ok.

[wise tundra]

I don't do gaming so 75Hz is pretty nice

[steep girder]

I was perfectly fine doing most of my gaming in that one period when people switched to LCD from tube monitors. Literally everything 1280x1024 60Hz. Didn't expect anything else

Some crazy monitors already existed but expensive af usually. Plus it was hard to do 1024 and up with higher refresh over VGA

[vapid smelt]

im using the superior Lenovo L24q-30 23.8" ips 1440 75 Hz

[wise tundra]

My old monitor was a 17" 1024p 4:5 office monitor. It was ... shit

[steep girder]

But in 2000s every screen was LCD. There were two kinds: 60Hz decent and 60Hz somehow worse with trail

[manic torrent]

The only sensible solution is 4k 120hz OLED

[full fossil]

Guys anyone familiar with the Ryzen 5 4650g pro?

[manic torrent]

it's the perfect CPU if you hate yourself

[full fossil]

Oh wow why?

[wise tundra]

I haven't seen any 90Hz desktop monitors. One of those would be pretty sick if the existed

[steep girder]

I didn't really care at all if it didn't have trail because 60Hz on LCD was somehow ok. I was right about there being a trick. Same 60Hz only pixels don't refresh in row together and dim

[manic torrent]

just... not compelling really in any way. I think it's OEM only.

[wise tundra]

Based on the name I'm guessing it's a Zen2 6-core chip. What you going to do with it?

[steep girder]

So 60Hz in 90s wasn't bad because it's not fast enough for FPS. Least concern. It literally caused migranes lol. I never really noticed any difference between refresh in games.

[vapid smelt]

we had 85 and 95

[steep girder]

Hell i'd even play 60Hz sometimes if it was a monitor that could do 1600x1200 (wow!)

[full fossil]

I have a TV with 90hz , let me tell you the difference only starts showing when you go from 60 to 110

[wise tundra]

I see a difference from 60 to 75 so idk what you're talking about

[full fossil]

Idk like a budget build

[steep girder]

For it to be a TV in the classic sense it has to also do 60 and 30 a certain way or 50/25 the same thing. Depending on europe or america + japan and other places idk

[wise tundra]

The iGPU probably ain't the greatest but the CPU should be fine

If you're for an iGPU build, get a Ryzen 7 5700G. Don't even think about any other chip

[manic torrent]

tbh for a desktop system for non gaming people? perfection

[steep girder]

Because everything is NTSC or PAL refresh and the analog television stuff always plays as is. In other words, everything was broadcasted, recorded on vhs, etc for TV's refresh rates.

[full fossil]

Not really I have it in a build and it's pretty good for budget like a year ago idk about now tho , right now intel prices are better

[wise tundra]

If you already have it, why upgrade?

It's a good enough CPU as long as you have a fine GPU

[full fossil]

True but at the moment I would rather just get a i3 13 or 12 gen if iam not gonna game

[manic torrent]

except even within that there was variation - broadcast was interlaced, and inherently relied on CRT persistence to work.

[steep girder]

When PS2s and even PS3s showed up and people still used analog av or something, the PS graphics hardware would output either NTSC or PAL lol. Or you transcoded. I have a VHS player that does that. It can convert pal secam and ntsc to either one. Or through

[manic torrent]

why spend money you don't need to?

[steep girder]

Yeah that vhs player actually has 3 pals or something. Idk about pal specifics (ntsc guy most of his life here)

[full fossil]

Because I work at like a computer shop , and one of my customers just need a decent build for a budget

[wise tundra]

The Ryzen you have is good enough

Are they going to game? If yeah, just throw a GPU with it and it's good enough

[full fossil]

the GPU is actually a vega 64 😂

[wise tundra]

I'm not sure how that preforms, but when thinking what it used to cost, I'd guess it's good enough

[full fossil]

It's a beast but bad at the same time also the PSU hates it

[steep girder]

They turn black and white and start scrolling like projector film the same all three of them. Idk maybe it's hard to see the difference in that but then PS2s and DVD players etc just got funnier lol. Pretty sure it didn't matter ever though. Unless PAL tvs do something diff for 3 signals.

It's funny because that's literally what happens only it's stroboscopic effect and the frames aren't slowly moving up or down. It's way faster and you're looking at the equivalent of a rim on wheel spin up to where you see stationary again.

Then there's the stuff between the frames intended to be off screen lol.

Probably the closest thing analog can get to digital offscreen buffers haha.

[full fossil]

Bro you probably wasn't even born yet when that stuff was used not even Linus was born at that time

But the whole idea was like a flip sketch 😂

[steep girder]

Linus is older than me by a bunch. I was born in Russia (thankfully just missing the soviet collapse). We left to Canada because my father could job and economy still kinda reset a few times. But then also jobs better lol

There were still a lot of key differences when I first started using computers back then

[manic torrent]

Joseph Plateau of Belgium is generally credited with the invention of the stroboscope in 1832,

[west gust]

guys, my pc turns on but the monitor has display and it shows only black? what do u think is the problem?

[long briar]

how long have you let it load

[west gust]

few minutes

[full fossil]

You checked the display port or your GPU

[manic torrent]

did it ever work. what did you change. what have you checked.

you say it "has display" do you mean it has a signal? Does it show anything at all ever? does the computer seem like it's on and working?

[vapid smelt]

the problem is that you dont know what channel to use #1027757333117415424

[steep girder]

Every screen was indeed analog CRT. The internet was not guaranteed. Sometimes the area I'm in doesn't even have it yet (lol a bit much but Russia). Not every single graphics adapter even supported any kind of GL or DirectX

[west gust]

i think the computer is working, its just that my monitor is black and i cant seem to know what the pc is doing

[manic torrent]

haha, dude. directx didn't EXIST

[west gust]

sorry sorry

[steep girder]

There were also more GL's back then. PowerVR whatever. 3dfx

[manic torrent]

ok, it's "black", but is it on, and does it change at all.

[full fossil]

Is the screen on but not getting signal?

[west gust]

i fixed it. i checked the gpu thingy

[full fossil]

Oh wow

[steep girder]

I'm not sure but you didn't even need it sometimes. Or GL. Just acceleration in general wasn't required for desktop on windows and any program you ran apart from 3d modeling etc

[manic torrent]

3dfx was not GL

[steep girder]

It was derived from some GL along the line no

Yeah exactly then there was other random crap regardless like S3 M3TAL

[manic torrent]

actually no, graphics was still accelerated

just not 3D.

[steep girder]

Well I mean acceleration itself was a thing for a while. They had GPUs already in late 80s at least

[full fossil]

Guys is the intel arc actually good ?

[steep girder]

Wasn't there a decade old machine they used for y2k movies cgi, I think Fellowship was one of them. It actually had like slot in giant GPU from the outside lol

[manic torrent]

yes, when I ran a 3DFX Voodoo 1 I had a Tseng ET6000 2D card.

[manic torrent]

they are actually pretty good now, the drivers have been hugely improved.

[steep girder]

Never even heard of it I think lol.

[manic torrent]

but my first computer was a z80 4mhz running CP/M. now THAT is unaccelerated video.

[full fossil]

Good I was considering getting one but I'll give it a little more time to get better

And it's not even buyable yet .

[steep girder]

I somehow started only using OpenGL as far as I can remember. I can recall my uncle by the time he got win 95 or 8 he set it some GL. It wasn't software. I clearly remember because it was gray when i played

[wind pulsar]

Hah, old

[steep girder]

Then whenever he played hed run his config and turn on one of the GLs for some reason. Lol maybe he was afraid I'd fry card lol

[manic torrent]

3DFX initially was using GLide

[full fossil]

Opengl is olddddd , I didn't even know nivida back then

[manic torrent]

The first directx game was Fury^3

[steep girder]

Yeah. But I only remember for sure the cards I used were OpenGL none of the other ones. Never tried metal but I heard it was sick. Unreal tournament had bump map back then and high res textures lmfao

Also Apple stole it because they called it metal without the 3 lol

[manic torrent]

which was the sequel to Terminal Velocity. Amusingly, the DOS based Terminal Velocity was much faster and better than the first version of Fury^3

[full fossil]

does directx even do anything if you don't have a gpu

[manic torrent]

yes, Direct3D is only a part of the directX group of APIs

[full fossil]

How about direct11

Or direct X11

[steep girder]

DirectX and any of those GLs... anything of that sort doesn't do anything at all in the first place

[manic torrent]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

[manic torrent]

Direct3D, not DirectX.

[steep girder]

It is a specification just like an API for the interface.

Yes I was going to say. DirectX included a bunch of stuff. There was also DirectDraw and stuff. To be honest DirectDraw what even is it lol

[manic torrent]

a deprecated 2D graphics library.

[steep girder]

It can be accelerated I guess lol. Either way you installed directX entirely only with GPU that supports direct3d.

[manic torrent]

You guess? dude, this is like.... how computers work.

[steep girder]

OpenGL and AL are separate as it should be tbh. Why does DirectSound have to have anything to do with X

[manic torrent]

it's fundamental to so many things.

[manic torrent]

..... DirectX is a gaming API. Gaming uses sound

[steep girder]

It can. I meant I guess as in I had no clue whenever it was. All I know is it came with directX and it did 2d drawing. Age of empires 2 might have used it and like worms if I remember correctly

It shouldn't matter in the end as long as you have direct3d driver. 2d you could implement software through the 3d stuff. Unless DirectX doesn't have ortho projection mode lol

But all of that does nothing. It's just a library you call as a specified interface to card. The driver itself supplies its own version. Still, you need it badly somehow lol

Imagine writing game for each individual GPU on market.

[manic torrent]

you mean for each manufacturer, and even that didn't happen, and tbh there have been different APIs since forever.

[steep girder]

Nintendo had a graphics processor and it's one of my fav examples: had firmware of its own which essentially could be seen sitting between the same things GL and such do. But also like nobody bothered touching it lol. Everybody used Nintendo's supplied default one mostly

[full fossil]

I had a friend who swapped the integrated GPU in his PS4 and put it in his pc

[steep girder]

Makes sense because somebody else's hardware microcode but you're trying to just write a game. Back then perhaps people were having these struggling experiences because of the very same 'GPU' only they didn't call it that.

[full fossil]

it worked,and he identified it as a RTX 3050 since it didn't have any drivers. But you can't make much with it

[steep girder]

It was just expected to have completely different architectures and platforms inside consoles every time lol.

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izxXGuVL21o

[vapid smelt]

look at that boomer

[steep girder]

But even still, they were consoles with 3d games at that point. So the hardware itself would somehow specialize in it even if there's not a single one unit that 'does the graphics'

[manic torrent]

yes. there are many ways to kill the cat.

[steep girder]

Like another thing back then which I was in fact to young for thankfully. It was how floating point coproc was revolution in 3d games FPS essentially

[manic torrent]

... the first actual 3D PC game was quake

[steep girder]

Then flash forward PS1 put a specific proc for texture mapping but it had issues with floats lol. One thing that woiuld really help

[manic torrent]

Every PC for many years before that had FP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root

[steep girder]

Yeah should be by the time ps1 came out. Again though PS1 itself somehow put a texture mapping proc without floats. It was hard to avoid not using the hardware as intended too. If you look at how games still winged it and just used the integer texture mapping as is

[manic torrent]

watch the video

[steep girder]

Pretty sure that's one of the things behind ps1 hagrid :kekw;:

I thought I saw quake 3 but idk.

sqroot is expensive I remember. This I know already lol. Also every other square root apart from perfect ones can't even be stored in any finite number of bits to begin with.

    x2 = number * 0.5F;
    y  = number;
    i  = * ( long * ) &y;                       // evil floating point bit level hacking
    i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the fuck? 
    y  = * ( float * ) &i;
    y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 1st iteration
//    y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 2nd iteration, this can be removed

[manic torrent]

exactly.

[steep girder]

Lol not sure what's exact. If I didn't have it and needed faster square, not sure if I'd figure out this way tbh

[near nymph]

https://youtu.be/b6A6e3HZSVk Canadian telecoms increasing prices... Rip

[steep girder]

I'd use lookup tables or something for sure. I'd know there's always a faster way to approximate it. But accurate enough and quick idk. That's not that many operations and memory

[vapid smelt]

https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/canada-gives-final-nod-c20-bln-rogers-shaw-merger-2023-03-31/

[steep girder]

Never tried approximating it though tbh. Only time I manually solved root was newtons method when I was being taught it. Unless I'm mixing it up with something else

[near nymph]

Hahaha... Competition... What?

[forest valve]

Do you people sleep

[vapid smelt]

yup from 2am to 12am

[forest valve]

Huh

[steep girder]

I'm bored. But case and point about all the stuff I blabbered earlier. You can always optimize classical algorithm for prime factorization by primarily eliminating any count greater than the square root of the number you're given. So it's involved in the solution somehow and yet you get a complete finite usually countable answer

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-say-what-what-gif-15506364

[steep girder]

Irl you're checking if the count you're testing squared is gteq the number you're factorizing

So square is easier than square root somehow. In fact you don't even know if it is rational root to begin with. Sometimes it is a perfect square and other times not

Is that not the same thing as factorizing but more than primes?

[low rain]

Bob wants sleep

Goodnight

[frosty ocean]

Given the algebraic sum for a cauterized pizza, you’re all wrong

[steep girder]

Actually wtf it's exactly when you finish factorizing into primes where you find out the exact square root if it's perfect.

If it's gt and not eq it's irrational or something. Then you approximate because bits and transistor

[frosty ocean]

Will you see, if you take the route of a locked soda can, and divided by the algebraic sum of your rotisserie chicken, you get the equivalent of peanut butter

Prove me wrong

[steep girder]

Algebraic sum of rotisserie chicken is rotisserie chicken so you can factor that out to just the chicken

[frosty ocean]

Fair point, but that would put it less than peanut butter

[low rain]

I kinda wanna pull an all nighter but I have school tmr

[frosty ocean]

Same

[vapid smelt]

its a child!

[steep girder]

Laters.

[low rain]

I js don't feel like sleeping

[frosty ocean]

I can’t say what I feel like doing, cause it’ll get me banned

[low rain]

Okay so basically

I'm tired but I can't sleep because whenever I shut my eyes I end up getting bored and end up taking my phone ouy

[frosty ocean]

Bro is too bored to sleep

How tf 💀

[steep girder]

Maybe in that school theyll teach something to help realize how three diff things being one thing two of the others upon eachother equal isn't the same as what came first chicken or egg 😛

[low rain]

Also im to tired to grab my glasses so now I can't read anything good and it takes so long to understand stuff

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/velma-dinkley-scooby-doo-my-glasses-i-cant-see-without-my-glasses-gif-8418837

[steep girder]

You literally don't have 'divided by' and quotient until you decide which one represents which number

[frosty ocean]

Try using your eyes

[low rain]

My eyes r shit

[frosty ocean]

7

They all equal 7

[low rain]

The worst part is im not on my main phone so this feels weird

[frosty ocean]

Rip bob the builder

[low rain]

My main phone is on my desk charging

[steep girder]

Locked soda can and rotisserie bird are both rational in that case in the most reduced form should be

[low rain]

My mom js got home from work, W

[frosty ocean]

It’s chicken, not bird. Y or try putting that into a calculator you get a syntax error

[low rain]

My brain is refusing to brain

[frosty ocean]

Regardless it is still irrational, but I doing know what else to get the factorial of in baked tomato, but cause my IQ is a coconut

[low rain]

Man I need to raise people expectations ab me

[steep girder]

That's nothing. Wait until you see what happens when you try to express a quotient of two numbers irrationally

[frosty ocean]

what about the derivative of the KitKat wrapper????

[low rain]

Usually I act dumb and then whenever I say something smart people r always like "do u even know what that means"

[frosty ocean]

Has anyone considered this?

[steep girder]

Tbh idk what I'm on about half the time. I'm kinda trolling.

[vapid smelt]

drugs

[low rain]

[steep girder]

Oh don't get me started on real

[low rain]

I love water tho

Kirkland water is goated

Anything Kirkland is good

I have Kirkland water, shampoo and conditioner.

[frosty ocean]

Sq-Locked Soda Can/Sum rotisserie chicken - derivative: KitKat wrapper=peanut butter, I think I got it

[elfin jetty]

just got my ltt potato hoodie

love this thing

[low rain]

What's yall favorite peanut butter

[frosty ocean]

The one from almonds

[low rain]

I gotta go with creamy jif

[frosty ocean]

What’s your favorite brand of dog tho?

[low rain]

German shepherds

[steep girder]

Honestly tap water has the same plastics acting as xenoestrogens but also worse because there are like pharmaceuticals in it for actual hormones. It's rarely clean in cities obviously so they at least nuke it with chlorine. Then you filter it and pretty much just get rid of the chlorides lol

[frosty ocean]

Bro speaking Minecraft enchantment table

[low rain]

Bro is immortal 3 irl

[frosty ocean]

@steep girder you sound like you’re British

How’s that essay goin?

[steep girder]

Well ain't no enchantment. I guess the whole scenario is enchanted because people go to springs for minerals. Tap water has them but you filter it out often lmfao. Unless you're drinking it chlorinated or let stand a bit. You can distill it either vaporizing and collecting or maybe electrolysis

[frosty ocean]

Jesus Christ

[low rain]

Imma try to sleep

[frosty ocean]

Imma try to decipher whatever the hell he’s trying to say to me 💀

[steep girder]

Yeah. My essay's thesis is how water is bad for your health from the tap and there's little you can do practically; no water is ever 100% safe regardless

[low rain]

Ask chatgpt to dumb it down

[wind pulsar]

I don't want to know what type of education you had considering you called a message five sentences long an 'essay'

[frosty ocean]

Ay chatgpt, my brain is the size of a pregnant termite, can you help

[elfin jetty]

[steep girder]

So you go to fresh water lake like could be better than tap water but rarely it goes 0 to 100 when you catch something from it lol. Higher risk factor, less cumulative side effects lol

[frosty ocean]

Bruh I was making fun of him for typing so much 💀

[low rain]

Me in 2nd grade

[steep girder]

Bottled water is still better than tap water sometimes. Only problem is there's nowhere to put bottle afterwards and it ends up in sea eventually lol

Flash forward 2023 there's nanoscopic plastic bits literally in all water on earth basically. We did this one boys. This we can claim full credit for lol

[low rain]

I wake up at 7

[vapid smelt]

do it no balls

[wind pulsar]

Step on a lego

[frosty ocean]

🤓: Well you see, if you take the factorial of the micro plastics in the water supplies, you can accurately determine the amount of plastics getting consumed hourly

[vapid smelt]

i dont own any

[frosty ocean]

*me going to commit eat tortilla chips vertically

[low rain]

I wait

[frosty ocean]

It’s 2 an en

I wake up at 4:30

[steep girder]

Yeah. It's also still possible to fix it back to the way it was not too late from now. If we don't, that average consumed plastic number is one I don't want to hear personally lol

[frosty ocean]

My tired mind finds this unreasonably hilarious

[wind pulsar]

I'm half Barbie half Apache helicopter.

[small zephyr]

i will never buz an cheap power bank again...

it takes 10hours for an single charge for mz phone

[frosty ocean]

On god my homie

[small zephyr]

and takes roughly 15hours to charge itself lmao

[steep girder]

But it's impressive is my point. We dumped so much crap on land and shipped so much plastic overseas trying not to spill it always. But we did it enough to the point where there was enough spillage unintentionally + the landfills leaked into water ways. This was enough and in a a timely fashion where already it just eroded naturally into little bits lmfao

[low rain]

I swear I heard the breaking bad theme song in my brothers room

[small zephyr]

sounds like you are made in china

[wind pulsar]

Made in Japan, I'm made out of quality plastic

[low rain]

For a split second I heard it

[small zephyr]

if you are half barbie it means you are half plastic and plastic is mostly made in china lmao

[frosty ocean]

You were mostly made in your moms tho

[wind pulsar]

How is that relevant

You said 'mostly made in China', who cares if it is

[small zephyr]

im sure barbie dolls are all made in china

[steep girder]

But I remember reading it's one of those things that are largely not yet known or studied (obviously because first lol). Overall, it looks like it might just be harmful but ironically to us more than sea life. It should be sub-micrometer no?

[frosty ocean]

Bro what am I laughing at this

[wind pulsar]

I can tell you're fun at parties considering you take things literally 👍

[frosty ocean]

Your mom fun in bed room

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i dont know i dont have friends and dislike partys

[wind pulsar]

Uhuh

[steep girder]

But nanoscopic solid stuff often gets into body and never comes out. That's the problem. It's not lethal in any immediate sense but still raises the usual risks like cancer etc

[wind pulsar]

[frosty ocean]

💀💀

[frosty ocean]

Shhhhhhhhhhh

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ how should i know about that lmao

you dont even know my name nor my mom and you dont even know where i live so how could you know about that

[frosty ocean]

🙏 lord give me strength

[steep girder]

That's how the harmful kind of asbestos works. When it grinds down, it makes little microscopic fibres. Somewhere on that scale you can have the smallest ones. It also makes giant visible threads as well. But the ones you can't see from asbestos are the ones you breathe into lungs and they stay there for the rest of life

[frosty ocean]

Bro Fr has the brain clearance of an unbaked half tomato

<@&750150305383186585> Trolling/harassment

🤷‍♂️ never cut isolating wool without protection as well glass is not nice to have in your body as well

[frosty ocean]

Bruh 💀

It’s fkn 2:10am rn bro

[small zephyr]

its only trolling if you let it get to you if i was like i was i kid i would have tracked him down tho xD

[steep girder]

Well yeah. I mean asbestos as soon as we knew how real the mesothelioma is we stopped using as insolation. Nowadays you gotta go to like asbestos mine or somewhere it naturally occurs and kick up dust or grind in then inhale

[wind pulsar]

You're not being better by being creepy

[frosty ocean]

You seem like the type of person to play dnd, and then accuse the dm of it obeying the laws of physics

[steep girder]

Mercury is the same but doesn't cause cancer nearly as much lol.

[small zephyr]

nah i was super reactive as kid and tear everything apart if anyone angers me

only when i got to be an adult i got quite chill somehow

🤷‍♂️ i still only play cod only with ewaste mouse and keyboard tho since they mostl likely get wrecked

[frosty ocean]

Sips silvery drink*

[steep girder]

It's bad and never leaves body but the average consumption isn't significant. It's also naturally occurring

[frosty ocean]

How the hell are YOU an adult

[small zephyr]

my old house had asbestos roof before we renovated it from being horse stables to being an house lmao

[steep girder]

Dude my mom and her friend broke open mercury thermometer when they were young and put it in mouth because little ball things of metal when you look closely at liquid I guess

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ im born 97 meaning im 27 this year im adult for like 9 years now

[steep girder]

Didn't die or get poisoning or anything. They spat it back out I think.

[frosty ocean]

Well

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ well you can eat everything

[frosty ocean]

Children are dumb, trust me, I would know

[small zephyr]

somethings only once tho

[steep girder]

But still a bunch had to have been ingested. Could have been even lethal I think. If it went to blood somehow and not digestive system. I'm no chemist so I could be wrong

But there's a substance called dimethyl mercury which absorbs through skin quickly and even goes through like latex glove annoyingly enough

[small zephyr]

welp gotta go now gonna get some cake by my mom bakery lmao

[steep girder]

Just a drop of it or something and it's poison control time

[small zephyr]

🤨 being poisend is no joke

[frosty ocean]

Mid

[small zephyr]

was bitten by poisonous snake once i swear it was hell

[steep girder]

On the other hand, even a drop of that compound together... that's only a manmade thing certainly.

[frosty ocean]

How was it hell, you didn’t eat it

[steep girder]

Organic compound w mercury lol. Sounds like either manmade or comes out of volcano maybe

[frosty ocean]

Tasty

[small zephyr]

welp smell you guys later gotta go

[frosty ocean]

L

Anyways, I want to eat the demon core like an apple

[steep girder]

Even uranium. It occurs naturally as ore but usually if something goes wrong, it's because there was mining going on lol

[frosty ocean]

A guy got sent a shoe box with a strange metal rod, and s cap, and any time he got close to record it it got all fuzzy and staticy

[steep girder]

Like it's not natures fault someone came along and started putting radiation back into it instead of letting it decay like it always does lmao

Enriched uranium idk find me it in nature. Maybe planet core and even that I'm not certain of. Probably sun still has it... and much cooler things at the very center lol

[timid meadow]

Its 420am est on 4/20. Just sayin. Enjoy your day 🙂

[frosty ocean]

EZ

Yay weed day

[low rain]

Got me my glasses

[steep girder]

Made in a star, decayed to 'safe' uranium by now regardless because solar system is old

[low rain]

I can see again

[frosty ocean]

Bro left for 30 minutes and says he got his glasses

[low rain]

I had to do some other stuff too

[frosty ocean]

Where were they, narnia?

I ate cereal and brushed my teeth

Hear me out, I'm not depressed or wtv but sad music is so good.

[timid meadow]

But can you see why kids love the cinnamony crunchy flavor of cinnamon toast crunch?

[frosty ocean]

Me when Bobux 😳

[steep girder]

So long story short yeah we're somehow unique so far until we find other life that can use the knowledge of neutron and reflect them back into heavy elements outside of star like a bill years afterwards

[frosty ocean]

And artist

[low rain]

Thats hard man

Cause it depends what day it is and how im feeling

[frosty ocean]

[low rain]

Let's say it's Monday morning and I'm in a good mood I would pick poppin by yeat ong

AI will be first 'other' life we meet unless we find like xenomorph on a planet we can't reach in under a decade even if we hyperdrive warp go

[frosty ocean]

But let's say it's Monday night and I'm tired

[frosty ocean]

Yeye

I find it funny how practically nobody who's watched the alien movies realizes how they overlooked somehow the aliens being able to 'find other genetic codes of foreign life' and somehow infect it: that should be strange if our acknowledgement of life is purely subjective.

It was algebra but he told me and my friends more about the Vietnam War and his and one of his friends experience in it

[frosty ocean]

If I’ve had a bad day, IDGAF-BWU, but if it’s a more chill day Gone Away CG5, my taste in music is strange I know

[timid meadow]

Movies only exist because they overlook stuff. William Dafoe just released a 2 hour movie that can only exist because a rich person forgot to install a "call the cops" feature on his multi million dollar security system

[steep girder]

No but it's actually the truth I think. Kind of like if you see a silicon blob moving and absorbing other silicon compounds on the way to chemically 'metabolize' it into its own 'tissues'. Then as soon as you see it split into the same thing

[frosty ocean]

That’s called mitosis

[low rain]

My subs friend was a helicopter gunner or something like that

My sub was doing civilian trainings in simulators so he would fly sr-71s in the sims or c17's and most cargos

[frosty ocean]

I’m trying have a conversation and Dimmski is all like, Science, philosophy, the meaning of life, and everything in between

It’s gotten to the point where when he’s doing he’ll say, “thank you for coming to my Ted talk”

[steep girder]

Well philosophy is personally what you make of it or how you interpret it. Physics though seems to be telling a real story separately. That's what I'm getting at.

[low rain]

He used to work for boeing and one time after him and some other people sold a 747 his supervisor was filling up the gas,my sub knew everything ab the 747 and told him to stop filling it up but his supervisor didn't listen so he js shut the gas off and then the supervisor yelled at him and turned it back on and a few seconds later gas started leaking out the plane

[frosty ocean]

dDar knows where he is because he knows where he isn’t. This unguided monkey with his broken lending gear has the brain clearance of an unbaked tomato. his instructions were to fly tight formation on my left echelon, but by differentiating, that from the algebraic sum of not being a rotisserie chicken, he isn’t where he is supposed to be. He is in my left wing. He will cause the total ruination of my control surfaces, causing me to be in the most remarkable, unrecoverable, flat spin ever conceived by man. An occurrence which, even the most decorated test pilot, the General Dynamics can birth, cannot induce. This F-16 fighting falcon is doomed. There is no recovery it is dead unresurrectable. All due to his numb nut knowing where he should be, but where he isn’t. dDar urgently requires a state funded vasectomy. He is a national security risk. I have seen an orangutan, three bottles of Smirnoff deep handle a vehicle in a safer manner than what I have witnessed here today. Please bar this man from flying again, I am begging you. Proceeds to downward spiral to the ground because dDar has the IQ point equivalent to a moldy potato

[steep girder]

And yet at the end of it all, it's seemingly random and we're insignificant portion of physics

[low rain]

Apparently since it was somewhere in Europe the gas leak was taken super seriously and stuff

Man he had so many cool storys

[steep girder]

It just looks like big bang and humans randomly alone on rock shard from star that cooled down just like everywhere else. Nice.

Hella currency dollar bill that as soon as somebody else holds it I guess they can spend it and you can't take it back.

[frosty ocean]

But really it's whoever spends it first because there are two now.

[frosty ocean]

Yes..

[steep girder]

Well the usual philosophy accepted is to approach physics as real.

[frosty ocean]

My brain trying to process words:

I’m scared that if I sleep you’re gonna show up in my dreams

[steep girder]

Never know. I could be any person in your dream 👻

[frosty ocean]

Oh dear lord

It might happen if you keep saying it

[low rain]

1:45 am and I'm drinking milk

You too G

[frosty ocean]

Only 1:45

[steep girder]

I'm drinking beer different time zone

[low rain]

Imma sleep at like 2

[frosty ocean]

It’s almost 3

[steep girder]

But it's later lol. So don't worry I think you're better off rn

[low rain]

And then I'll have like 5 hrs of sleep

[frosty ocean]

Trust me, we were not worried

[low rain]

Man imma be to tired to go to school

[frosty ocean]

Bro I was up in an hour and a half, why am I awake

[low rain]

Idk how I get 5 hrs of sleep and manage to get a 3.778 gpa

[steep girder]

Bro I spoke two languages fluently since I was young. As a result, somehow in my dreams I can't tell which language people are speaking. It's either one and they're making sounds come out of their mouths. They're clearly words.

[frosty ocean]

My 1.34 gpa…

[steep girder]

But my brain only constructs the meaning behind the words somehow and just generally 'theyre speaking'. In the moment it makes sense, but when I wake up...

[low rain]

I gotta go suit shopping soon

[frosty ocean]

That’s freaky

[low rain]

I have a school dance on May 12th, the theme is night in Paris.

[frosty ocean]

What language do animals think in

[low rain]

Mexican

[steep girder]

That's what superposition must feel like. It's both Russian and English.

[low rain]

Wqir no Spanish wtf not Mexican

[frosty ocean]

Lit

[steep girder]

When I wake up it has to be one or the other not both.

[low rain]

I dont have dreams

[frosty ocean]

“What languages do you speak?” Mexican

[low rain]

Everything js goes black and its the next day

I dont even remember going to bed

[frosty ocean]

Bro saves his game

[steep girder]

Irl it's probably that my brain isn't visual enough or doesn't care to the point of being lazy about fully constructing the sounds.

In other words, the information is missing lol.

[frosty ocean]

Mmhm….

My brain is on that bathroom zaza

[steep girder]

Max it's determined if it's russian or english but that's it. I still can't recall the words. Just the general expression of whole sentence. That's even worse tbh lol. Maybe I should lay off the booze

[unkempt widget]

whenever i think, i always think in one specific language

[frosty ocean]

VODKA

[unkempt widget]

if i need to talk in english, i think in english, if i need to talk in chinese, i think in chinese

[frosty ocean]

If I need to talk, I play video games bro

[steep girder]

Right. But you're probably saying whenever you think in a language spoken by internal voice or something of its likes

[frosty ocean]

Bruh I’m too tired for this 💀💀

[steep girder]

But do you really always imagine some voice actually talking

[low rain]

What if I went on a walk

[frosty ocean]

I’m going to sleep now

Kidnapped

[steep girder]

Well have fun lol.

[low rain]

My friend told me to go outside and chase people but since I'm black they won't be able to see me

[low rain]

Goodnight sleep well

[frosty ocean]

Good night friends, I need to sleep god

[dull granite]

i eat shredded cheese

[frosty ocean]

My dog eat cheese too

[timid meadow]

If youre in the US thats a ticket down the sewer slide with recent stories 💀

[steep girder]

It's greate shredded or not. Milk but it doesn't give you as much of a bad time w stomach lol

[indigo plume]

I havent updated gpu drivers since I got it

[low rain]

Matter of fact I am in the u.s lmao

[indigo plume]

Had it for 3 months now lmao

[frosty ocean]

You’re my dog now, you named Louis, and your brand is Dior

[indigo plume]

Don't feel like updating it breaking something

[frosty ocean]

What’s y’all favorite brand of cat

[steep girder]

US #1 imo. That's the destination. I just need citizenship or some way to live there. Gotta like marry citizen or get worker permit and green card, etc. I would be working for States now if our company didn't have canada side unit lol

[timid meadow]

Cuddlebug makes some good ones

[frosty ocean]

I have the great value of cats bro

[steep girder]

That was the biggest disappointment recently. Wait we're all being offered full time from us company buying us out?! Sorry, it's in Ontario still lol

[low rain]

I always go to Canada, so cold

[frosty ocean]

Do you guys have a dog

[steep girder]

Oh well time to pay much more income tax again.

[frosty ocean]

I have a dog and he is the best

But he will yell at you if you don’t give him shredded cheese

[timid meadow]

I cant have a dog till after the cats we have pass away

[low rain]

My dad is allergic so nah

[frosty ocean]

They gon respawn or what

[steep girder]

In south ontario, it's not cold at all in summer. At least half of spring and autumn too. Tbh I think it's chilly and snowless past autumn through to middle of winter lol. Spring nowadays ends late though.

[low rain]

Whenever I go its either to Vancouver or Calgary

[steep girder]

I feel like it changed lmao. The christmases are all green now but spring strikes back w force

[frosty ocean]

I ain’t had spring yet dawg

[timid meadow]

Lmao no. But we currently cant have any more uncaged pets in our apartment, and our 2 brats wouldnt get along with a dog anyway.

[steep girder]

Mid summer ontario is like above 30C some days.

[frosty ocean]

We had a snow day about a week ago

[frosty ocean]

Aight

[steep girder]

Idk 30C should be hot enough. It can get even closer to 40 but that's killer. The air isn't as damp as tropics too. People from India usually tell me first thing happens to people who first get off plane is they suffocate lmao

[frosty ocean]

130% humidity

[steep girder]

Like 40C and super humid. Sounds like adjustment. I've been to Mexico though. Not sure how it compares but it's not too bad

Like I notice it's stuffy but I get used to it so long as room has AC lol

[frosty ocean]

Kay, i NEED sleep now, good night everyone

[steep girder]

Lol

Go

[low rain]

Chat is better at night

[steep girder]

That's unfortunate because there's less night than daylight or twilight

Even in St Petersburg Russia it's north enough to have like a week of non-stop daylight essentially

But night 24/7 I don't remember happening. It's at least a few hours of light or something. Why atmosphere gotta do this

Anyways im signing off because it's late and there's definitely no daylight here lmfao

[full fossil]

did anyone notice that in one of the linus tech tips videos that someone showed their phone password, i dont remember their name or the video but i think the pin was 0009

what sort of pc stuff.

[unkempt widget]

this entire discord...

[full fossil]

[manic torrent]

I can give you advice. Work hard, and be good to your mother.

[unkempt widget]

[frosty widget]

#1027757333117415424

[full fossil]

lovely advice

[frosty widget]

Oh yeah that one

[plush rivet]

Do you want a prebuilt or build it yourself?

[full fossil]

ok well i was looking for a prebuilt

[unkempt widget]

yo piecreator

[plush rivet]

Budget?

[full fossil]

under 500

[plush rivet]

USD?

[unkempt widget]

for gaming?
buy a console

[full fossil]

like 550

[plush rivet]

mmm that’s gonna be hard

[full fossil]

no not for gaming

[plush rivet]

? What than

[full fossil]

i wanna get my first pc and i know it’s better to build one but idk how

so prebuilt is the way for me

[plush rivet]

what is the pc for

[unkempt widget]

watch youtube videos, it's not that hard

[full fossil]

music production mainly

but gaming as well

[unkempt widget]

it's literally grownup legos

[plush rivet]

I mean

[full fossil]

Hi guys I wounded if anyone could help please I recently got me raspberry pi I was wounding if I can put stuff like free nass on there so I can run a media sever for my Plex

[plush rivet]

I can try and find a prebuilt for under 550

[manic torrent]

that is generally not a good idea

[full fossil]

i just want something that works and runs decent for around 500ish

[manic torrent]

not even.

[plush rivet]

But that’s gonna rough

[plush rivet]

it wont be decent for 550

[full fossil]

What would you recommend to use for the pi

[plush rivet]

your gonna need a lot more to make it decent

[full fossil]

ik ik

[plush rivet]

but I’ll see what I can find ig

[unkempt widget]

you might get a 5600xt + 12100f (custom built) for that price

[manic torrent]

lots of things. but generally you have a use and THEN you buy the hardware 🙂

[full fossil]

but i’m not spending 1k 2k on a pc rn

[plush rivet]

Do you have a preferred website you want

[full fossil]

nah not at all

[unkempt widget]

and also used

[plush rivet]

Just give up it’s gonna be a prebuilt

[full fossil]

used idk

[manic torrent]

buy the worst, cheapest, most awful PC you can find that barely works, and smells really bad

[full fossil]

What you mean sorry I’m new to this pi stuff

[unkempt widget]

tbh same, a simple raspberry pie costs this much???

[manic torrent]

I have used a raspberry pi as a security camera watcher, a coding testbed, to run a gauge system in my car, and ... other stuff tbh I can't remember.

[full fossil]

well if you guys know any good pcs around 500 let me know

[full fossil]

I just want to use it for Plex for a small media sever as I’ve been using my pc at the moment

[plush rivet]

There’s a good one for 600 if your willing to push it, but I can find one for cheaper if needed

[full fossil]

what is it

[manic torrent]

I mean, you can do it as a proof of concept for sure - it's just that a pi makes for a very poor file server because of the low IO

[plush rivet]

https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-Chronos-Gaming-Computer-Desktop/dp/B09JBQN8P5/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3KEZV

[full fossil]

Okay right I’ve got it set up with Plex on but I can’t mount my hard to it for some reason

LOL BRO

I WAS LOOKING AT THAT ONE haha

[plush rivet]

Lol

[full fossil]

thought it looked kinda funny but

[plush rivet]

it’s a decent system for 600

[plush rivet]

Prob because it’s not a full tower

[full fossil]

kk

yeah but it’s tiny so even better it can fit on my desk

[unkempt widget]

you mean mid tower

[plush rivet]

You get the idea

[plush rivet]

Yeah and you can just replace whatever when needed, but it will be decent at least

[full fossil]

how bout this one

this one cheap STGAubron Gaming Desktop PC Computer,Intel Core I7 3.4 GHz up to 3.9 GHz,16G RAM,512G SSD,Radeon RX 580 8G GDDR5,WiFi,Bluetooth 5.0,RGB Fanx6,RGB Keyboard&Mouse&Mouse Pad,RGB BT Sound Bar,W10H64 https://a.co/d/1Qw1i1e

comes with a keyboard and mouse 💀

[small zephyr]

🤔 seems like samsung doesnt like apps that let you run linux

[unkempt widget]

it looks so sus though

[plush rivet]

Bro I hate when they just put i7 and not that actual processor

like I don’t even know wth I’m buying

[unkempt widget]

^^^
is it an i7-870 or i7-13700k?

[full fossil]

imma look at a review cuz it’s not in def

[small zephyr]

up to 3,9ghz that sounds like 3-4gen or something

[full fossil]

brb

it’s ok

[unkempt widget]

3770 was up to 3.9ghz

[full fossil]

it’s a little cringy it comes with a sound bar but

[unkempt widget]

4770 was also 3.9ghz

[plush rivet]

mmm

[full fossil]

Intel Core I7 3.4 GHz up to 3.9 GHz,16G RAM,512G SSD,Radeon RX 580 8G GDDR5

[plush rivet]

That doesn’t help

[full fossil]

that’s all it says

[plush rivet]

Ik which is why I hate prebuilts

they never specify what your actually buying

[full fossil]

should i just get it

[plush rivet]

I mean it would be fine

[small zephyr]

🤔 now that i think about my tablet its kinda more like an oversized phone to me somehow

[full fossil]

You sure you sure

[plush rivet]

But that processor will be shit

[small zephyr]

i literally carry it in my pocket and use it like i use my phone

[plush rivet]

imo, get the other one upgrade the ram and it’s a decent system

[full fossil]

the 600 one?

[plush rivet]

because it only comes with 8 but you get a 10th gen processor

[small zephyr]

🤨 am i weird to use an 10.1inch tablet as basicly my phone?

[full fossil]

your life

who cares

[small zephyr]

it even fits in my throusers pocket somehow

looks dumb tho

[full fossil]

damn idk then i really wanna stick to the 500 even tho

should i wait till the 600 goes on sale maybe

[manic torrent]

sell your body to the night

rooooooooxanne.

[small zephyr]

i wish samsung would just let me install chrome os or something like this tho

[full fossil]

????

[unkempt widget]

sell your kidney

[full fossil]

kidney is worth a lot

[plush rivet]

I’d get the 600

[unkempt widget]

yeah, you'll be able to buy a really good pc with that

[full fossil]

did you know the human body is worth 1mil

[frail dock]

can someone help me in matlab (simulink)

[plush rivet]

it’s a better deal and better upgrades

[full fossil]

anyway that’s off topic i’m tryna get a pc

[full fossil]

is that same pc on sale on a different website

[manic torrent]

Roxanne by the police, and then covered in Moulin Rouge (2001) amazingly. ... and I would say both references are basically ancient to you 😄

condiments

[full fossil]

alright

[plush rivet]

Just get the 600

[full fossil]

well thanks for the tips guys

yeah maybe i’ll think about it

i’ll ask some of my buddies

[unkempt widget]

(i will still super recommend getting a custom built)

[full fossil]

not everyone knows how to make it custom tho

[manic torrent]

everyone can learn

[full fossil]

we’re not all pc geeks yk

[unkempt widget]

learn that, it's not gonna take that long, and it's worth it

[manic torrent]

I'm an old man, and I can do it.

[plush rivet]

Honestly not hard either

[full fossil]

i could tell your old

[unkempt widget]

hardwarebob is very old

[plush rivet]

takes maybe 3 YouTube tutorials and your good

[full fossil]

lol

[manic torrent]

look, my references are a little dated, yes.

[full fossil]

you can tell by his cadence in his typing you know

reminds me of my dad

[unkempt widget]

love that word "cadence"

[full fossil]

yeah

[manic torrent]

hey! I ... yeah. ok I guess so.

[full fossil]

fancy word for like style

mostly used for singing but

[wispy marsh]

Condiments and complements

[manic torrent]

not at all, cadence is timing.

[full fossil]

no no

[manic torrent]

yes, yes.

[full fossil]

incorrect

[wispy marsh]

I say ingredients is the better word. Meat, vegetables, toppings

[full fossil]

errr errrtt erttt

[full fossil]

Buzzer

singing like singing not timing

[unkempt widget]

what

[full fossil]

oh whatever

[unkempt widget]

anyways, i would seriously recommend getting custom built

[manic torrent]

I'm pretty familiar with english.

[full fossil]

ok so give me parts for a 500 dollar pc then

everything

and i’ll build it

[unkempt widget]

damn

[full fossil]

i only know how to build custom keyboards

[unkempt widget]

500 usd? used?

[cunning pecan]

hellos folks im new here

[full fossil]

USED parts???

[unkempt widget]

hi new here, i'm folks

[unkempt widget]

if you can't get used, get that 600 prebuilt

ebay buyer protection is excellent

[full fossil]

ahh

[manic torrent]

I can understand how you would think cadence means style though - because it is a similar word. cadence is about the rhythm and timing, style is about more than that. So I can see how you would say I have a similar cadence to your dad, because likely we tend to speak in longer sentences, having grown up in a different world.

Also I'm a wordy fucker.

[unkempt widget]

how do i make ebay display usd btw

[full fossil]

oh well i was wrong

[manic torrent]

go to ebay.com

[unkempt widget]

fuck shouldn't have asked a straightforward question in front of hardwarebob

[unkempt widget]

i'm on there, it displays in hkd because my vpn is set to there

[full fossil]

anyone know a good cheap 144hz monitor too

[unkempt widget]

if i set my vpn to the us, it would still display hkd for some reason

[manic torrent]

why 144hz. You're not going to drive 144hz with your crap PC

[manic torrent]

login, set currency. (or incognito)

[full fossil]

cuz i currently have a 144hz curved samsung one

[unkempt widget]

ah

[full fossil]

i was using it for my xbox

[manic torrent]

soooo why do you need another 144hz monitor then

[full fossil]

to like them up

for my double monitor setup

Line*

[manic torrent]

then surely you want an identical monitor....

[full fossil]

you’ve got a point…

uh oh….

[manic torrent]

They don't have to be the same, and they don't have to match refresh rate, but yes, you should make them work together. I got these side monitors specifically to go with my main.

[full fossil]

oh i’ll just have a vertical one

that’s what i meant like lined up

not identical

[manic torrent]

from my experience the most important thing for a vertical monitor is that you get an IPS panel monitor, because it will look good sideways. VA will not.

[full fossil]

nice cable management

👌👨‍🍳 mama mia

[manic torrent]

looks like a regular rack, circa 2005

[tired glade]

If it works....

[wispy marsh]

[full fossil]

reminds me of those silly string things

remember the little spray things back in the day

[manic torrent]

we had guns for them, so you put the cans in and pull the trigger and silly string comes out

[full fossil]

yep

screw the can in

[past egret]

you mean like a caulk gun?

[manic torrent]

no like this

idk much about music production, but amd should be fine there
btw i've seen 5600xts good down to 70usd on ebay

but if you wanted new, it would cost you about $170 extra

(the entire thing)

[manic torrent]

actually music production tends to favor intel, because it's very timing sensitive

[unkempt widget]

talking about gpu, ig now that i think of it, you won't need a good gpu for music production

[manic torrent]

you need good USB.

Theoretically 16tb in a single usb is possible

It'll be quite large because it has to contain either 2x8tb or 4x4tb nvme's

[cerulean saffron]

NICE... would you prefer one large curved or the multi monitor setup?

I'd lean more towards multi monitor because outside of games, a separate monitor helps a lot

[manic torrent]

bear in mind my main monitor there is 48". I used to have a 34". I absolutely always want at least two, as you said. Three brings balance to the force.

I've had well over 10 different layouts of monitors over the last three years

[amber cairn]

if it seems too good to be true, it probably is

Its 100% fake probs closer to 50 gigs nad not 16 tb

[rugged nimbus]

i was wondering

and it might be the wrong place to ask (but it would be very interesting to see a video made about this) whats LMG's environment plan or whatever you should call it

[manic torrent]

do you mean in terms of environmental impact?

[rugged nimbus]

does that make any sense? like, is LMG planning on going carbon neutral before the end of the decade, are they already carbon neutral

[manic torrent]

It's interesting - I don't know. that's something I'd like to know as well.

but it's also one of those 'overhead' things that come with being a bigger company now 🙂

[rugged nimbus]

i was wondering about it seeing with how much theyre expanding, i cant imagine they have too big of an impact but seeing them go green could be a fun series on the channel

[full fossil]

Ay yo can we spread this one around the community, for Luke. "I'm hot, you're cold, together we can make LUKEwarm 😏" KEKW

yeh, same mount

[full fossil]

I don't exactly understand what you mean but I assume your talking about getting a job at 16 then I'd recommend checking your local child labour laws. In most countries you need to be 16 or above to get a job.

[full fossil]

yes in my country 16 is alloowed

[dawn aurora]

u can in most countries

[full fossil]

Then yes? What was the point of asking here?
