[sullen lodge]

i’m not looking to buy one i’m just seeing what others think about the ssds

i just heard about them today

[gilded quest]

P41 Plus is fine

[sullen lodge]

[full fossil]

not a prebuilt if i’m paying someone to build it

[dreamy rose]

yea. it is.

[timid meadow]

Pre built just means its mostly assembled when it gets to you. Odds are you'll still have to check connections and settings etc etc

[turbid falcon]

neither of them are good for their price, 4th gen intels is not worth it above $200

so i should go with used?

yes, you're getting majorly better specs

k lemme go back to tech c

guys im liking this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/394378926686 <- $550 and yet still be better than that skytech

[turbid falcon]

miles better for the price over either of the 4th gen prebuilds

not newegg's own prebuilds, a company selling through newegg

ABS = newegg prebuild

[full fossil]

i might just get this one tbh guys https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-0043-00014 585

ahhhh

[turbid falcon]

meanwhile you're asking him to pay 3x the value of what that 4th gen system was

[full fossil]

no looks ugly and i’m not getting a case

[turbid falcon]

no, just no

[full fossil]

no?????

[turbid falcon]

this is better than that 4th gen prebuild

[onyx hatch]

it does support VESA DSC, but kindly help me understand more. the monitor's bandwidth needed is around 29 gbps, way under hdmi 2.1 supported bandwidth. So in theory (ignoring gpu and cpu bottlenecks) shouldnt it just work?

[dreamy rose]

who cares about how it looks. its function over form.

[onyx hatch]

@gilded quest

[full fossil]

so one end of you guys are saying just get this skytech prebuilt it’s good and the other half are saying no get a used one with better specs

and the other side is saying get a basic dell with good specs

[dreamy rose]

the Ryzen is better when you are ready to upgrade CPU.

[turbid falcon]

not so much in the hp case though

[full fossil]

i only have a 144 1440p panel guys so anything more than that i don’t need

[turbid falcon]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285182164271

first one i shown him tbh, the saving made means he can get an rx6600 straight away

[dreamy rose]

going from 4000 to 5000 doesn't need a new motherboard

[turbid falcon]

on gpu, not on cpu

[turbid falcon]

going from 3000 to 5000 doesn't need a new mobo either

[full fossil]

guys im gonna get this one https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-0043-00014

maybe

[turbid falcon]

4th gen pc, not worth nearly $600

Dont buy that!

what he initially asked in tech chat 1

[dreamy rose]

you should be using FSR anyway

[full fossil]

yeah

[onyx hatch]

i pasted a picture in tech chat 1

i think it does support hdmi 2.1 but no dsc (dsc only in DP)

[gilded quest]

I think as long as your GPU is HDMI2.1 (30/40 series, RX 6000/7000, ARC), you should be good

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/45gr95qe-b

[onyx hatch]

Alright man, thanks alot for the help!

I have one more question that im wondering, you dont have to answer it really if you're busy. Would there be any issues in connecting the main monitor through the laptops hdmi 2.1, and other monitors through an egpu? As far as i know this setup would be fine, i thought id ask tho maybe you know things that I dont. Thanks 🙏

Some kid tampered with food at a Pennsylvania Giant grocery store - putting needles in packaged food.

If you’re from the Lehigh valley area - check your recent purchases.

[near nymph]

Food tampering like that should end with a firing squad life imprisonment

[fluid ridge]

people say an eye for an eye is bad xlite here believes in an eye for a head

[dreamy rose]

ah good. Needle strawberries the second: America edition

[near nymph]

Don't act like that can't happen anywhere else also.

[dreamy rose]

that shit happened here in 2018.

never thought i'd have to think about 2018 again

[tardy terrace]

What the fuck

[vapid smelt]

It is a federal crime so is possible

I think it's a option

[tardy terrace]

You should read the article then, it's a teenager.

[near nymph]

Perfect life imprisonment it is

[dreamy rose]

sounds like a TikTok looser to me.

[near nymph]

Where's the article?

Most of the articles don't mention it was a kid.

It just said. an employee did it

[fluid ridge]

man some murderers dont even get life bro

that seems a little disproportionate

[dreamy rose]

"Whats up guys, today i'm traumatizing a baby through putting needles in its food because its Devious Asf! lets go!"

[near nymph]

Eh... Life sentences are like... 21 years or something g

if it lasted 21 years it would be a 21 year sentence. not lifetime

it is on TikTok. because apparently TikTok has no limits to how shit they can be

[fluid ridge]

i think we are overestimating the cost of what that kid did

[near nymph]

I would consider it attempted murder.

[dreamy rose]

you didnt look correctly. removing the mobo and CPU from the list.

[meager hamlet]

mobo??

[dreamy rose]

Motherboard

[near nymph]

Mhmm... Power tools...

[dreamy rose]

because you need a different motherboard for AMD.

u sure about it tho

[dreamy rose]

7800X3D is literally the best CPU for gaming.

Eh... No exact age. Bummer they could be 18 or 19

[tardy terrace]

Because they're not legally required to release the age if they're a minor

US child labour laws are lax, man. I can't work a proper job till I'm 16 in the UK

i started working at 14y 5mo, below the 14y 9mo limit, but no one knows, because employers cannot ask you for your age

You cant have a Networth really... If your a child. Unless you get emancipated or something

[wary summit]

its 23,000 USD

[full fossil]

You can't earn 10k a year at 14 lol

[tardy terrace]

Here's the thing, they're legally required to for tax reasons to confirm your identity. If they're not, that's under-the-table work, illegal, and breaking child labor laws.

[full fossil]

That's fucking impossible

[uncut axle]

I will hire you, mining 16 hours a day

[wary summit]

i did, 18.50 aud an hour

[uncut axle]

Or you could work for my business that’s definitely not for money laundering

[wary summit]

well no, because somehow i filed a TFN

[full fossil]

So you broke child labour laws by working above the max hour of age limit? Also that's alot per hour for a 14 year old. In the UK it's typically £5/h at 14 if someone actually hires you which is basically impossible

[full fossil]

In the UK you can only work 12h a week at 14/15. And you'll earn like £5/h which at max is like £5k/y. This law is sorta outdated as people simply refuse to hire people under 16 now

[wary summit]

fri, sat, sun

so you've been working what, a year?

[wary summit]

lemme count

[tardy terrace]

I really doubt you have the equivalent of $10k USD in your name.

I gotta agree with you. 1 year of work 23k/y is impossible for a 15 year old

i forgot which year i started

[tardy terrace]

aus min wage is $21.38/hour. You're working 3 days a week, 6 hour average shift.

[tardy terrace]

you said you staretd at 14 years & 6 months.

[wary summit]

something like that

[dreamy rose]

the years go fast but the days drag on. no clue how it works

[tardy terrace]

Min wage in the UK for those under 16 is £5/h

[full fossil]

[tardy terrace]

Interesting, everything I'm reading right in front of me says that it varies if you're under 18 as an apprentice in a trade.

[wary summit]

yes

what im saying, is anyone under 18 isin't required to be paid min wage.

[tardy terrace]

A restaraunt is not a trade.

[wary summit]

ugh, you'll see what aussies mean by trade

[golden talon]

min wage is $14/h in my state

[tardy terrace]

yeah, they can pay you less. You don't have $10k. Stop lying.

[wary summit]

uhm

[polar fern]

A very nice number of saved items. 🤣

[dreamy rose]

p sure min wage for a kid was like 13/h

[full fossil]

Finding a job under 16 is very impressive as there are hardly any jobs avalible in that age range

[last solstice]

man I really hate the fact that minimumwage still has not compensated for the inflation over time and all the price hicks on everything

[full fossil]

Just volunteer or somthin working under 16 is not worth it here

@last solstice how are people supposed to function in society without an income of any kind?

[full fossil]

Bro stop. Get a job at 16. Don't be lazy.

[wary summit]

my old build was a shit fest

[last solstice]

like alot of the shit in the states are just wrong bro

[tardy terrace]

I could make a lot of arguments and comments off of that but I don't feel like getting in trouble

So let's just sum it up as [REDACTED]

[last solstice]

parents ? support ? you are literally still a teeenager yk

[neon mesa]

Getting a job under 18 is really such an american thing

[wary summit]

https://twitter.com/bitcoinmine712

[timid meadow]

More like get a part time job to learn some skills while you enjoy childhood

[neon mesa]

It's straight up illegal in many places

[wary summit]

no its really australian

[polar fern]

Parents supposed to pay for a 19 year old’s rent? Clothing? Transportation?

[full fossil]

Bro, I'm a "child" and it isn't nice. Being in poverty sucks.

[tardy terrace]

Up to the parent

[last solstice]

then the government should support them

[polar fern]

No dude. No.

[full fossil]

Where does the money come from?

[neon mesa]

This is normal in asian cultures.
The kids will then pay back to the parents once they're old.

[dreamy rose]

that and drinking

[last solstice]

you can do that after you get education and actually can function in a good job?

[polar fern]

People can’t afford that shit here.

[wary summit]

you'd be supprised how many kids vape, smoke, do weed, drink, drive under 18 in australia

[last solstice]

thats a bad idea

[full fossil]

guys

[tardy terrace]

Not everyone is ready to work right off the bat at 18. I didn't land my first job until last year when I started conquering my social anxiety.

[timid meadow]

Trust me, im the last one you need to tell. But we should be encouraging kids to work within what they need. Calling someone lazy is bullshit, everyone does what they need to get by. Just because i was on my own at 15 doesn't mean i encourage other kids to throw away the best years of their health in a bullshit system that doesnt care about them

[wary summit]

like 20 kids at my school get drunk

[last solstice]

becuase you would have to devide your attention to two things that are not exactly related

[full fossil]

not at all

[polar fern]

Sorry can’t take you seriously. Denying people social & life skills development is idiotic at best.

[last solstice]

why are you guys confessing to discord crimes in a public chat lol

[last solstice]

going for phd is pethatic ?

Shit those are even easier lol. I wouldnt make it in class but hey if your on a time crunch do what you gotta do

[polar fern]

Beast? No clue.

[full fossil]

yeah well

[wary summit]

it’s like saying i murdered someone but don’t worry i already went to court

[wary summit]

he sent me a dm on twitter

<@&750150305383186585> this guy is trolling

[tardy terrace]

If you're legit financially struggling, can't make ends meet w/ bills, then yeah, probe for govt assistance, but don't blatantly act on taking advantage.

[wary summit]

im actually gonna take him to court, earn me some money

[vapid smelt]

[wary summit]

im flying back soon

<@&750150305383186585> @copper moat politics

[full fossil]

Don't have that yet

[wary summit]

thats new? i've had that for like 20 days

[timid meadow]

Except less effort for more result is literally the point of tech and the entire human experiment. You dont want to work the rest of your life. None of us do

[amber sedge]

It's hidden

[last solstice]

if you are technically asking if I am taking advantage then no I just got into uni and I also just got into the US. I literally cannot pay the bills on my own

[full fossil]

He's right tho

[polar fern]

Don’t.

[tardy terrace]

Cool, then seek assistance. That's an applicable scenario.

[amber sedge]

Well I mean most people still haven't seen it I don't think at least

[last solstice]

im gona make moneh any way

no

[polar fern]

I’m just gonna sit back & wait for the nuke

[tardy terrace]

i don't care as long as discord doesn't take my gd flow ring or my pretty background :u

Just stop. Go to bed child. You start working at 16 like a good person.

[last solstice]

• I can be a TA for my grad years which gets payed

[tardy terrace]

was it a sub-zero

[last solstice]

if you are asking this as in I am actually teaching people how to do shit then yes I am teaching people how to do shit. but no im not a TA

maybe next year actually

[full fossil]

Stop talking. You're clearly a lazy member of society that dosnt give value to basic jobs like being a cashier when your young.

[last solstice]

that would be worth tbh

[full fossil]

Just stop talking.@last solstice

[last solstice]

nope I aint a TA :T

[vapid smelt]

Surprisingly no a cafÉ 48inch

[last solstice]

NO :3

[tardy terrace]

Oh these look so nice...

[timid meadow]

Weird to assume not having a job makes you a leech.i was off work almost 2 years and didnt claim a single benefit and im far from the only one

[last solstice]

bruuuh I still dont see how this is such a horrible thing

[tardy terrace]

Alright, here's what should happen-

Stop slinging insults at each other
Apologize (or not, I'm not your mom)
Move your butts onto another topic

[timid meadow]

You cant say he is if you arent paying his bills.

[last solstice]

feels over reacting

[full fossil]

I can't take your absolute idiocy. You're take is the worst I've ever seen. You want to leech of the government and in turn your fellow citizens just because your lazy ass dosnt want to work at 18.

@last solstice

[last solstice]

yes I am not paying my bills cause Its literally over min wage to pay them

[timid meadow]

Just because you pay taxes doesnt mean your paying their bills. Get off your high horse

[full fossil]

Try to pay them rather than getting into debt

[tardy terrace]

I think you missed the point that they're a transfer student in the US. Depending on their VISA they probably cannot work.

[last solstice]

why does everyone become a communist when its there is no benefit to them TwT

[dreamy rose]

when you pay taxes you put money in their pockets

[tardy terrace]

Be nice.

[last solstice]

^^^

[last solstice]

this is basically whats happening for me rn

[full fossil]

I'll work when I turn 16. I don't want to leech of my fellow citizens and parents unlike you.

[last solstice]

sure m8 👍

[tardy terrace]

Then by that same logic medicare is horrible. Oh, and the roads & sidewalks you travel on. Don't forget about water & electricity :^)

[full fossil]

OK I'm done. Rant finished

[last solstice]

be sure to study aswell

[dreamy rose]

the governments not yours

[tardy terrace]

Y'all have so much to learn about the world...

[full fossil]

6h of work with an internship plus 6h of uni. 12h a day honestly isn't that much in my experience

[stray apex]

Work is cringe
Can't wait until I can leech off AI

[full fossil]

I usually do 8h of school a day plus 6h of development so 🤷‍♂️

[last solstice]

yes which is why im not gonna be a total ass leach. yall think im like shit at my life and im doing nothing that is useful. I literally gona pay all of this back rn

[tardy terrace]

Not everyone can survive having a 9-5 & a 5-9

oo yes for sure

Nvm

[last solstice]

I will thank everyone for actually carrying me through my school moneh

[dreamy rose]

you think its all going to improving the whole area? please. i like your innocent thinking. but that absolutely not how it works.

[tardy terrace]

I'm simply applying the logic you used in a wider context.

[last solstice]

command failed successfully

[dreamy rose]

I can? I sleep 8h per day. 4h to myself and 6 and 6 to studying and work. It's not hard.

Development work with C# puts strain on the brain so I do consume alot of Monster Energy Drinks 😅

Good for you, you're mentally stronger than I am.
I also don't understand why you deleted your previous post to this being a give/take with people's differences & disabilities, and now made it a gloat.

[last solstice]

I like how 12h of my day im on campus

Anyone have any trusted sources for completely legit windows 11 license I'm not paying $190 (hopefully this is ok to talk about idk)

[tardy terrace]

It wasn't at all, and instead you made a shittier response. :P

[last solstice]

bro bro bro wait till you code in C

you have to have 1 monster an hour

[tardy terrace]

USD? Win11's like $100

[full fossil]

I do many languages lol. C# is the one I use the most.

[rapid fog]

Cad

[full fossil]

Just get an OEM license

[tardy terrace]

I am unaware on how to assist, then

[rapid fog]

Just went on the website says $190

[polar fern]

This chat needs an enema.

[rapid fog]

I just want to change my wallpaper 💀

[last solstice]

im wana try and get into embeded systems and shit si I will be coding in C alot C# is pretty clean though tbh my fav game is written in it

[tardy terrace]

I personally dislike OEM keys due to the amount of times I personally reinstall windows, and I'm due for it again.

[rapid fog]

What's an oem key

[tardy terrace]

the type of license key you get with a full machine you buy that has windows already loaded onto it

[rapid fog]

Oh

[last solstice]

there are easier ways to do that I think (without getting into weird license providers)

like with regkeys and such

what am I talking about. I mean the registry editor

[rapid fog]

Idk what that is, but all I know is it says I need to activate windows

[tardy terrace]

wallpaper engine should override the background lock

[last solstice]

:O pog wallpaper engine

[rapid fog]

Wait really

[tardy terrace]

ok definitely don't go poking in the registry if you don't know what it is

[full fossil]

I leaned it cause linux kernel 😆

[last solstice]

^^

[last solstice]

pog champ linux enjoyer

[tardy terrace]

but yeah WPE should override the UI lock on wallpaper changing because it's not going through the standard UI process of setting an image/slideshow

[rapid fog]

I'll try that out, ty

[tardy terrace]

therefore no real reason to activate windows

[dreamy rose]

windows activation is crap. yk what would be fine, having Dark mode be the default theme. but noo. BLINDING FUCKING WHITE! why did this have to happen smh.

[tardy terrace]

well, there are benefits, I'd go batshit insane if I had to stare at that watermark every day

[wary summit]

who needs to activate windows?

[rapid fog]

Coming up on 2 years windows free 💪

[tardy terrace]

also yeah, dark mode.

[wary summit]

need help activating it?

[rapid fog]

Watermark 4 life

[last solstice]

I still dont get why they are even selling it at this point

[wary summit]

[rapid fog]

I don't have anything to activate

[dreamy rose]

money

[wary summit]

i do, but its

[full fossil]

You can remove it and unlock windows with software. Just pirate it.

[tardy terrace]

because they make bank off off volume licensing

[stray apex]

They don't give a shit if you pay for it

[wary summit]

you'd be supprised 99% of them are viruses

[wispy marsh]

You guys make me feel blessed for owning two retail windows keys, none of which have been activated more than 10 times

[last solstice]

the only people providing moneh are oems. I dont think indeviduals are paying like at all

[tardy terrace]

Sorry, I don't sail the high seas anymore.

[stray apex]

Microsoft would literally prefer that you pirate windows than use linux

[wary summit]

fr

[full fossil]

Well no shit. You need to know where too look

[vapid smelt]

just take windows keys from your local public school or library

[dreamy rose]

some pay for keys

[rapid fog]

I wanted to try but thats really shady

[last solstice]

I would do this until nvidia's fuck you hit me diff TwT

[wary summit]

i can provide something, if youll allow me to dm you

[tardy terrace]

I personally bought a retail key of 8.1, and recently a pro upgrade for win11

[rapid fog]

I was actually going to do this lmao

Nah its fine ty though

Use Ubuntu then

[wary summit]

then you're a temple os user

If at any point I am required to use a CLI to fix my OS then it's shit

[dreamy rose]

absolutely would. linux doesnt have annoying Windows problems

[wary summit]

Literally the first time I set up mint on my laptop this year
It broke on setup

whats that really old amd line with like iGPUs

as a linux user of 6 years I agree with this statement which is why I aint using it

you have to use the terminal if you wana uninstall edge

still its not as AKmod removing a lock to early and bricking your nvidia driver install because fuck you ig

[dreamy rose]

every time i've ran SFC Scannow to fix an error or just because i was bored, i've had bad files.

[stray apex]

At no point after reinstalling win 11 the past few months have I had to use a cli

[tardy terrace]

cli is fun though :(

[last solstice]

I cant even use the open source drivers since its like a 1080 and it dont support those 🧴

[tardy terrace]

Also, windows is what you make of it. Just as linux is, too.

[stray apex]

Eh, edge is better than chrome

[dreamy rose]

and neither do you need to on Linux.

[last solstice]

I use firefox 🍹

[stray apex]

if it works as intended, maybe

[tardy terrace]

fuck vm's, run WSL \o/

[stray apex]

Realistically though
You're almost always better off using cli to install stuff than whatever package manager they include

[last solstice]

but what about LSW D;

[tardy terrace]

funfact windows now has winget (basically apt get)

[last solstice]

oo yea I should start using that

[dreamy rose]

why does WSL exist again? oh right. desperate attempt to keep people in Windows.

[stray apex]

Yeah, windows will also usually know how to open installers though

Mint didn't even know what to do with a flatpack I downloaded

[full fossil]

If I have to use a windows machine I use that because it's literally multiple times faster than going to the Web

[last solstice]

you can download flatpaks from the web?????

thas new

[full fossil]

Also google is fucked. They haven't released a successful product in years. They've become complacent.

[last solstice]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FINALLY google will fall

[dreamy rose]

downloading a Linux app from the Web is a massive mistake. it doesnt work.

[tardy terrace]

With WSL you can run a seamless UI that layers windows & linux with each other, it's great

[stray apex]

Why wouldn't they? They've had a monopoly for years

[last solstice]

the only one you can do that with is appimage

[dreamy rose]

its useless thats what.

[vapid smelt]

i like my google phone

[last solstice]

but appimage dev is like kinda an asshole KEKW

[tardy terrace]

Nah, WSL's pretty cool

[last solstice]

ayo what

[dreamy rose]

at this point just use KDE

[last solstice]

how and why would you use this 👀

[wispy marsh]

Dennis doing the Justin Bieber pose is amusing

[full fossil]

There monopoly is slowly crumbling. They've become too complacent. Companies are switching away from Google in favour of competitors like Microsoft for their default search engines. I believe that Google will significantly shrink in the coming years if they don't change

[tardy terrace]

I like experimenting with linux, and Kali has winKex, the software that's letting me do this ui nonsense

Also, interesting tools for SDR shenannigains

[stray apex]

[full fossil]

That isn't Linux related at all lol

[tardy terrace]

powershell exists on linux, too

I thought ps1 was the thing referring to the input thingi with the $ at the end

[full fossil]

Oh not Microsoft powershell

[wispy marsh]

Powershell on linux felt weird to me

[last solstice]

why does it exist KEKW

[tardy terrace]

also if y'all are on windows use windows terminal, it's so much better

[last solstice]

I fucking love mehc boards with qmk firmware

you can rebind everything to do everything

I can emulate the mouse on it even 🤯

[dreamy rose]

no

because thats for windows 11 not 10

[gilded stratus]

Anybody want to play gartic phone with a bunch of teenagers

[dreamy rose]

chat GPT should play Quiplash

OOOOO MY GOD

chat gpt should be the host in all jackbox games

[gilded stratus]

It’s discord activity

[last solstice]

wait I thought quiplash was a jackbox game thing

[gilded stratus]

It is

They have gartic phone as a discord activity now

[dreamy rose]

its a different thing to Gartic Phone but it gave me that idea

[last solstice]

any how jackbox games would be diff every time if the host is chat gpt

[tardy terrace]

Well, it was for 10 at one point

it was always for 11. it was included in 11 never made for 10

Hey bro's, is it possible make a macbook faster and stay cooler?

[rare slate]

yeah

[vapid smelt]

what year and model

[rare slate]

you can saw the bottom off of any model and slap a big heatsink on the bottom

[modest sonnet]

You can always replace or upgrade a macbooks thermal paste, replace thermal pads, upgrade the SDD and possibly ram, and even sometimes battery or screen depending on model, and its not too bad.

[daring swallow]

AYOOOOOO KRISSSSSSSS NO WAY

[full fossil]

I meant to say software

[last solstice]

ok but the pixel is like a boi

I think apple should try and attack that sector

I trust apple more than google doesnt mean I like that

[plush rivet]

Wouldn’t say that at all lol

[last solstice]

I think they can pull it off

[plush rivet]

Your telling me 300 dollar wheels is worth it

Already have, safari

why would they need another

It was because of when LTT got hacked people spammed
So timer is upped

[modest sonnet]

Yeah 😮

[full fossil]

Maybe? Apple could come out with an SE laptop but it would probably cost £600 and not be worth it for schools if the alternative is £200. Besides Apple is a premium brand and has an image to uphold

[glacial sand]

God damn is running a roblox black market hard

[last solstice]

400 and we are gold

It was 3 minutes when that happened lol. 10 seconds is rhe norm

It’s not terrible, normally I have another message written by the time the 10 seconds is over

[full fossil]

Probably not. It would degrade their brand image too much

[uncut axle]

Well I’m slow at typing, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t effect me much

[last solstice]

I get your point. I just want an alt to chromebooks

[dreamy rose]

people like this are just annoying af

[plush rivet]

Eh it’s so you can’t spam
Plus is the most popular chat

[stray apex]

Absolutely not
Apple has maintained the premium brand of the MacBook for years, and not by selling them for cheap

[full fossil]

The alternative is buying used but for schools they can't because they buy in bulk and would have to vet the refurbisher

Even apple's cheapest $800 M1 air is built extremely well

to be fair the second isn't a big deal anymore because phones have slowed down in their progression a lot, but back 5 or more years ago the second point was a big deal.

You can argue that apple overcharges for memory or SSD upgrades, but the base M1 air has more performance than most people need, it's built like a $2000 laptop, the screen is excellent, the keyboard is great, the touchpad is top tier, the battery is best in class

Base M1 air is oppressively good

[full fossil]

No ports

[last solstice]

apple needs to fix their keyboards

[glacial sand]

My monitor/screen is this: aw2524h for gaming and the samsung g8 for content consumption like watching movies yt etc

[last solstice]

and air pods pro being an acutal e waste thing

[dreamy rose]

what about the ports or the Operating system not so bloody premium is it?

[full fossil]

The macbook pro is the base model in my eyes the air is just a non-contender because of the lack of ports

[last solstice]

you are talking to the wrong guy about this

[stray apex]

Dual thunderbolt 4 and a high quality DAC/amp 3.5mm is actually extremely premium

[last solstice]

I literally downgraded my phone so that its easyier to maintain

[stray apex]

Apple also has a not shit Bluetooth implementation unlike windows

[dreamy rose]

what do you have against Australia?

[last solstice]

HOLY SHIT the headphonejack is actual pog

like this thing is good

[full fossil]

The funny thing is that their touchpads aren't actually touchpads. It's just haptic feedback to simulate a click.

[stray apex]

Apple's audio stuff tends to be surprisingly good when they try

[full fossil]

I want, usb-a though

[last solstice]

man why cant apple just make these stuff all the time AGH

[stray apex]

Sounds like a legacy hardware issue
Imagine not using thunderbolt HID

[full fossil]

And an ethernet port or atleast mini-ethernet

[dreamy rose]

Australia doesnt have Presidents.

[stray apex]

Nah, apple made the right choice to exclude that
You can definitely argue that a USB a port would be really nice, but Ethernet is totally unnecessary on the mainstream model

[dreamy rose]

you mean Prime Minister?

[last solstice]

wait what

apparently there will be a pixel fold

[full fossil]

USB-A is going to be the standard for a long time because some device like mouses and keyboards don't require high data transfer rates and usb-A is alot cheaper than USB-C

[last solstice]

wan show after hours moment

[stray apex]

Certainly, but most people will at most use a Bluetooth mouse

[full fossil]

System admins?

[last solstice]

^

[stray apex]

I feel like if your sysadmin is using a MacBook air as a work computer you have bigger problems

[dreamy rose]

wdym "ethernet on a work laptop? seriously?" Ethernet is always more reliable than Wifi

[last solstice]

I will change my mouse to type c soon trust

[full fossil]

Can't afford a 2k macbook pro man

[glacial sand]

Guys how do i promote something thats illegal to normal people

[full fossil]

Remote management

[glacial sand]

[last solstice]

be funneh

[stray apex]

I mean
Then what's the Ethernet port for

[glacial sand]

Im serious

[last solstice]

I am too

[glass lantern]

Errr yeh, it is nice for times where you need either a super reliable connection or low latency, really for those time a using a dongle isn't that big of a deal, but it is nice to just have it there ready to use.

[last solstice]

be funny and they will buy

[full fossil]

Just threaten them with this:

[dreamy rose]

yeah. it kinda should.

[stray apex]

Nah

[glacial sand]

Its a blank screen but i will take your advice

[stray apex]

Ethernet is wholly unnecessary for your average person

[full fossil]

All purpose means, ALL-PURPOSE. That includes sysadmins

[glass lantern]

but it depends on the use case, some poeple will need an Ethernet port a lot so needing a dongle would be a big deal.

[stray apex]

If you need an Ethernet port a lot you're probably not the target customer for the M1 air

[last solstice]

mywifi connection barely disconnects

[glacial sand]

Anyway if im not responding fast enough that means im dealing with customers from my roblox black market discord server

[full fossil]

That's a security issue as the mac address is stored on the dongle and if you loose it someone could potentially extract that.

[last solstice]

im like right next to the router soo that might be the hellper

[stray apex]

A modern WiFi implementation is probably faster than most people's broadband

[glass lantern]

still higher latency though

[stray apex]

Oh no, your 50 ping became 60

[full fossil]

You may not be able to haul around a pc lol

[glass lantern]

Well if it's 16ms and then you are not getting optimal wireless resception it could be like 16ms vs 100ms

[wicked cape]

most sane people don't

[full fossil]

That's my point

[last solstice]

usb should make a optical standard

[wicked cape]

It can't

[dreamy rose]

nobody has to use a Mac

[wicked cape]

because optical can't do power delivery

[stray apex]

Then move closer to the ap?

[last solstice]

ok yes

[wicked cape]

Technology connections talked about this

You could do combo but then it's more parts

[last solstice]

but think about the efficiency of and the speed of data

[wicked cape]

40 Gbps is bonkers

Why do you need more

[last solstice]

like you can literally have a gpu on the other side of the house with optical

[full fossil]

Most people in the uk have 60mb per second so for the average person the speed dosen't matter. What matters is the extended range and better reliability

[wicked cape]

If you really do, get 100 Gbe networking and go nuts on your servers

[wicked cape]

why would you want this

[last solstice]

think about the infinite possibilities

[full fossil]

Those things are hot garbage

[stray apex]

Most people are not going to bother running a cord to their couch or power line or whatever

[dreamy rose]

you dont need to use Mac, or Windows. you just choose to.

[last solstice]

if every single data transmition system was optical the efficiency would be insane

[wicked cape]

your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they never stopped to think if they should

[wicked cape]

Costs would jump quite a bit too

[shrewd kayak]

does anyone by chance of an asus motherboard

[glass lantern]

this also assumes you don't have nabours with WiFI in close proximity either which make mean lag spikes as you change bands or just generally high latency and slow speed if it's really bad.

[wicked cape]

Copper is stupid cheap and fiber is less cheap

[last solstice]

really I though optical was mostly glass ?

[full fossil]

The purpose of the ethernet port on a laptop is for low latency remoting into servers

[wicked cape]

Plastic for lower spec ones

[full fossil]

or gaming

[stray apex]

That's such an extremely niche use case
Most people can game on wifi

[last solstice]

how much chaper

[wicked cape]

i don't know off the top of my head

[full fossil]

Gaming on wifi is awful

[last solstice]

hmm I just think optical processing would be really nice

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure people game on cellular

[wicked cape]

I tried it once, don't

[last solstice]

since it would use even less power and be even more efficient

it would prolly be impossible thou

[full fossil]

Yes, because they are dumb

[low rain]

Me when me when when me so me

[dreamy rose]

you don't understand. you DONT need to. you CHOOSE to.

[full fossil]

or celluar is just cheap in their country

[glass lantern]

basically Ethernet is useful when need / want to not have to deal with extra variables.

[low rain]

Ratio

[full fossil]

Unless you need final cut, you don't need a mac.

[last solstice]

OMG if you use all the diff frequencies of light to do optical processing you can like actually get close to infinite instructions per clock

this is why I wana get into optical physics

[stray apex]

Audio stuff generally works better on Mac

[last solstice]

^

[dreamy rose]

you can use anything else its not the only video editor in existence

[full fossil]

Umm, what the fuck? On windows you download stuff from the web not the app store lol

The windows app store? Yes but it's garbage and most people just don't use it

[stray apex]

Only Microsoft uses it lol
And they still let you download it online

[full fossil]

Just download stuff from the web or the command line

[full fossil]

You can't download shit offline

[stray apex]

Yes you can
Just use a local cache server

[full fossil]

They were trained on final cut and all of their colleuges use final cut

[last solstice]

MOmo I use a mac but I dont use the appstore much either

I use brew alot though

[full fossil]

Video editors are complex and it isn't easy switching

[dreamy rose]

i am right. thats fine. but your company doesnt need to use Macs, you don't need to use a Mac. nobody NEEDS a specific platform. its all prefference.

[stray apex]

No they just have
Interesting opinions

[last solstice]

if everyone just used linux everyone would just stop nagging over everything

[tardy terrace]

Distros.

[stray apex]

The kind of person to believe that the year of the Linux desktop is just around the corner

[last solstice]

since everything would be supported instead of it being neglected.

[dreamy rose]

no. because GNOME Fans love to hate on everything else

[full fossil]

Technically you could use adobe but it's also alot cheaper to buy 20 mac mini's and buy final cut for £299.99 per computer than it is to pay adobe £30/m forever per user

[last solstice]

yea so flavors for evryone

[last solstice]

thats like the 5 percent of the acutal gnome users

[dreamy rose]

pffff

[stray apex]

Modern Linux looks like basically every other desktop os

[dreamy rose]

its whatever you make it.

[stray apex]

It turns out that some things work really well so everyone does them

[low rain]

I’ve used windows and mac, tbh I think Mac is nice but I play games so I didn’t buy a MacBook

[dreamy rose]

you want a Windows like environment? KDE. you want to get close to Mac? KDE Skinned. if you want it out of the box including all its flaws? GNOME.

[atomic ibex]

is there a download limit on floatplane?

[full fossil]

Adobe premier is very expensive so from a cost veiw it's cheaper to hire and train editors on finalcut as it's a one time purchase instead of a subscription

[stray apex]

#pilot-toast is a better bet for that

[dreamy rose]

kdenlive is free.

[vapid smelt]

yup they started testing that a week or two ago

[last solstice]

wait its not a subscribtion ?

omg finally no subscribtions

[stray apex]

So is resolve, and that has actual industry support

[wispy marsh]

FCPX is one-time for $300+

[full fossil]

It's missing many of the feutures and corporate support that allow for quick bug fixes and customer support

Every time an editor is unable to work cause of a bug it's lost revenue for the company

[stray apex]

(don't tell adobe)

[short badger]

i need someone help. i playued dying light 2 and my character and other character dialogue isnt working and i need to fix it

[full fossil]

Apple has support and an opensource project like kdenlive dosn't

Companies require different things than you or I as an individual

[last solstice]

if only apple made open source shit

[dreamy rose]

🤣

[last solstice]

omg that would be such a good wet dream

[full fossil]

Closed source tech is better for investors

[stray apex]

Apple's main products are their brand and ecosystem, so that's literally impossible
