[polar fern]

I have a mac too. Been using macs of my own for over 20 years now.

My laptop edge is on public release and has different UI than my desktop edge.....

Oh maybe I enabled a flag at one point 🤔

[polar fern]

I’m looking into mint if/when new pc

[neon mesa]

chrome can't do this shit

[jaunty compass]

my problem with bing is that it's based on chromium; so soon good adblock won't work anymore

i use firefox

[elfin jetty]

keks in firefox

[neon mesa]

bing the search engine is not chromium
it's a search engine

[jaunty compass]

to get the most points you have to use edge

and bing

[polar fern]

I use safari & wish they still made it for windows

[gilded quest]

Freaking opera users

[jaunty compass]

edge is based on chromium

I just keep mixing up the names of bing and edge for some reason even though i know which is which

[neon mesa]

opera gx users especially

[elfin jetty]

Firefox the unsung hero

[gilded quest]

Cringe gamer browser is cringe

[jaunty compass]

I know, i just meant to say edge; i keep mixing them up

[polar fern]

Used opera long time ago. Wasn’t impressed.

[gilded quest]

Although OperaGX Twitter account is wonderful

Full shit posting

my 12 year old cousin uses operaGX

i don't like how it looks very much

[gilded quest]

I tried OperaGX for like 30 minutes

It's like the browser is designed to distract you from your actual task

[polar fern]

Rip your kidneys

[jaunty compass]

my kidneys will be fine

[vapid smelt]

your not gamer enough to use it

[polar fern]

Oh no.

I am absolutely devastated

[jaunty compass]

it's the gaming™️ browser for gamers™️

[polar fern]

I need to get gud. Just a noob. Smh head

[neon mesa]

so, bing GPT can do this right

[polar fern]

That’s so gross looking

[neon mesa]

however if you open the hub it just acts like it can't
"sorry i don't have information on what you trying to say"

[elfin jetty]

Gonna have to start binging things

[wispy marsh]

I should subscribe to a wireguard vpn

[uncut axle]

Do it, it takes good

[vapid smelt]

[polar fern]

Guard your wires. It’s your civic responsibility.

[jaunty compass]

the syrup is really watery

[uncut axle]

Although get more in the middle, there’s red cream stuff

[elfin jetty]

Im baked rn if i try it ima eat the whole planet

[gilded quest]

But you're never sarcastic 🤔

[wispy marsh]

Fun fact: Asus AX routers have per-device vpn (up to four) and supports wireguard. Asus AC routers only have per-router vpn.

[neon mesa]

well you can fact check mr. musk with this browser

[gilded quest]

I just run wireguard on my pfsense box

I just want a laptop that won't be ewaste in like 3 years

[wispy marsh]

Living with your parents and not paying rent

[jaunty compass]

modern laptops glue their batteries in and have everything soldered to the baord so they're just 💀

[polar fern]

My old iBook was really good for like 6 years before it felt sluggish.

[gilded quest]

My MacBook air is 2 and a bit years old. Works great but wow do I wish I got more storage in it, also the battery could use replacing

[neon mesa]

my parents own the house, owing rent to no one

[dreamy rose]

doesnt have an Adblock build in unlike Brave. thats a big downgrade.

[polar fern]

let’s not judge people’s living arrangements. Everyone has reasons for what their situation is.

[jaunty compass]

I did not need to know this at all

[full fossil]

Not my screenshot but they are literally copying Firefox

[jaunty compass]

I know that's not true, but why did i have to read that

[wispy marsh]

Does it cost less than 30usd/sqf?

[neon mesa]

your definition of copying is bollocks, it literally looks nowhere like it

literaly different

[polar fern]

@manic torrent oh my

what laptops are you speaking of?

[full fossil]

Huh? Property can be that cheap??? Here it's £300-750 per sqft

[wispy marsh]

This is a purchase, not a rental

[neon mesa]

i don't use ummm freedom units

[full fossil]

Oh

[polar fern]

750 teabags per square Union Jack? 😲

[wispy marsh]

does it cost less than 300usq/sqm?

[gilded quest]

Mfw not everyone is American

[neon mesa]

depends on province but mine in particular is like 200/sqm

[wispy marsh]

mfw complaining about everyone not being american in a canadian server

my house is $173.28USD/sqft

[dreamy rose]

MacBook's dont count as "Modern laptops" theres other laptops than Macbooks.

[full fossil]

Sqft is pretty standard for properties. Even in the UK where square meters are a thing

[elfin jetty]

Murica, fuck yeah

[neon mesa]

because the UK has identity crisis

[wispy marsh]

Ah, I see. That is actually pretty good if you live in a city

[gilded quest]

Murica

[neon mesa]

everywhere else uses square meter

[manic torrent]

I only use opera GX, the gaming browser

Bruh, as an american, its very few people that actually do the dumb shit

[long briar]

Asus never glues batteries in laptops

[polar fern]

yeah, I’m not sure about that dude.

[wispy marsh]

Apple's ecosystem is amazing. It has many APIs that allow for universal seamless workflows for people that like to do tasks. They build excellent hardware, but I have seen a sizeable amount of complains of their engineering and customer support divisions being absolutely the worst. Louis Rossmann makes a really good point of what Apple is doing, especially about their greenwashing, scrapping perfectly working macs and restricting manufacturers from selling mac parts (pcb, screens, mechanisms etc). Apple has also perfected the ppi-distance formula for all of its non-LED phones.

[long briar]

it's screwed in place and often held down with other things like the fan

[dreamy rose]

[full fossil]

Depends how you look at things. America is the only "large" country with a average salary of $60k/y. Economically there amazing

[manic torrent]

in October 2013, Pwint San, Deputy Minister for Commerce, announced that the country was preparing to adopt the metric system.[3]

[elfin jetty]

Thats like saying all british people are bad because they were colonizers

[gilded quest]

They're*

[wispy marsh]

"Embarrassment" to me refers to an individual.

[neon mesa]

wage doesn't tell the whole story

[jaunty compass]

this laptop is really weird, the only actual model information i've found of it online are the listings for it specifically

[neon mesa]

you have to look at purchase power parity

[polar fern]

It’s an embarrassment that I have to live here.

[long briar]

send model number

[gilded quest]

Yeah america has crazy wealth inequality that only gets worse every year

[glad mist]

I love apple software but I hate the company

[bright silo]

i think thats the average household salary

[tender geyser]

What are those sound proofing pads called

[elfin jetty]

Then go somewhere else while we try to fix the country

[wispy marsh]

Like "this shithead is an embarrassment", or "stakeholders who only want subscription services are embarrassments"

[neon mesa]

someone making 30k a year at country A

okay apparently since i bought it, it's now actually on notebookcheck

[wispy marsh]

I like a good handful british people

[manic torrent]

[jaunty compass]

asus zenbook flip 15 Q508U is the model

[dreamy rose]

Asus looks to be genuinely alright for repairability. there's not framework level but its good enough

[jaunty compass]

the big problem with this laptop is that it only has 8 gigs of ram.

[neon mesa]

this is where PPP multiplier comes in
a country with 4x multiplier (4x cheaper living cost) with avg wage of 40k is equivalent to american living at 160k/yr

[jaunty compass]

and you can't upgrade it, since it's soldered on

[manic torrent]

honestly, talking about "all the good things" vs getting shot at school? not really compelling

[long briar]

yea that battery isn't glued

[dreamy rose]

shouldnt have purchased a chromebook

[long briar]

eh, 8gb for light use is enough

[jaunty compass]

realistically, it's fine; it only becomes an issue during switch emulation but since i got my steam deck, when i'm away from home i just do it on that

[uncut axle]

Honestly it’s sad, doesn’t matter what you think will fix it, you can still say it’s sad

[manic torrent]

(the joke is that which tea i make is the politics)

[uncut axle]

Earl gray isn’t bad

[vapid smelt]

discord AI bot clyde will teach my how to make acholic drinks but not black powder

Chai is more for relaxing for me.

[elfin jetty]

[glad mist]

How’s everyone rn

[long briar]

actual earl gray or like the garbage earl gray mix?

[polar fern]

Who likes motion blur like seriously who

[polar fern]

I drink a big mug every day

[gilded quest]

I do in cinema

[manic torrent]

odds are yes, they are 72 hours long now

[jaunty compass]

if you like motion blur, your parents are disappointed in you

they're not mad, just disappointed

[long briar]

it's the parents that like it because of sports

[elfin jetty]

Like ones that were coming to lttstore

[gilded quest]

[full fossil]

I got two 20oz mugs that I drink evey morning

I need to get the 64oz one

[timid meadow]

My wife does the same. Fills it with cold brew every morning

[polar fern]

I don’t like super hyper high definition video. It just takes away the immersion

[jaunty compass]

this mug is so large it makes me look like i have baby hands

[full fossil]

It's like £100 because of taxes and shipping to the UK though

[gilded quest]

What the FUCK

[vapid smelt]

i thought that said beer and not brew

[full fossil]

[elfin jetty]

I like to put hot chocolate mix in the bottom with marchmellows and add the coffee on top

Its sooo good

[polar fern]

I tried watching one of my favourite movies a few days ago, and it is completely different in 4K versus HD.

[gilded quest]

I should try starting the day with 40oz of cold beer

[polar fern]

I actually had to stop watching it because I really didn’t like it

[full fossil]

Maybe because it was poorly upscaled?

[dreamy rose]

duh. 4K is 4k

[polar fern]

No, it was not poorly upscaled it was like too high quality it’s not the same as the original

The year is 3027. WAN show has now been going for 800 years without stopping.

Haha shes never been an alcohol drinker. Once in a great while she will have one of those frozen cocktail slushy things. But thats once a year, if that.

[manic torrent]

yeah you can see the painted backgrounds etc.

[gilded quest]

This is the dream tbh

[polar fern]

You have to remember that I grew up with VHS and tube TVs that’s what I like I don’t like the super sharp crisp 4K stuff

[timid meadow]

So did we tho

[manic torrent]

weren't you going off your nut about youtube 4k?

[full fossil]

In the year 2089 linus dies whilst filing a video on the tesla model A. His death was monetised and memed yet the atmosphere was very weird as linus had just died and they were monetising it

[gilded quest]

Not all old stuff looks good in 4k

But modern stuff looks great

[manic torrent]

linus is now preserved as a meat puppet over an android, and wan show continues.

[polar fern]

YouTube 4K is not movies I don’t watch movies on YouTube. Typically I watch YouTube in a window not full screen either. I was actually talking about new content authored on digital 4K.

I am talking about movies that were transferred to 4K later

[tender geyser]

Who watches YouTube in full screen

[timid meadow]

Yea you can really tell when a screen is trying to turn 1 pixel into 12 or something. Older stuff can often be a better experience on an older display

[gilded quest]

I do

[vapid smelt]

me

[timid meadow]

Sometimes

[manic torrent]

occasionally, when I'm doing other stuff

[full fossil]

Everyone?

[vapid smelt]

why would you not watch it in full screen?

[tender geyser]

Idk I just don’t

[full fossil]

If you have a multi monitor setup then go for it

[neon mesa]

i got one monitor so no full screen, can't multi task

[jaunty compass]

I don't because I put YouTube on my second monitor that I call the shadow realm

It's a vertical monitor, so it lives in the top left in theater mode

[tender geyser]

I need to get a second monitor again

[vapid smelt]

i got 4 monitors

[polar fern]

It’s kind of weird that people seem to think it’s okay to attack me for having opinions and liking things that I like. I don’t attack you for liking something that you like. Just an interesting observation….. 🤷‍♂️

[wispy marsh]

Does anyone know how long will the windbreaker be in production?

[manic torrent]

yeah sometimes I go left, sometiems right

[timid meadow]

I leave mine in theater most of the time because my screen is big enough. Youtube theater on a 55" may as well be a full 40 inch screen plus navigation

[polar fern]

Oh well.

[full fossil]

Why do you need 4 monitors? OBS takes one, the game another and then the live stream chat on another

Only need 3

[vapid smelt]

1 for gaming, 1 for discord, 1 for pc stats and one for google

[manic torrent]

oh I have OBS on my dedicated AV system monitor

[vapid smelt]

i dont live stream im just a nerdy gamer

[vapid smelt]

didnt you spend like 1.1k on your old 3070?

[vapid smelt]

nas and plex server

[tender geyser]

What is a plex server

[full fossil]

Eww plex

[timid meadow]

Technically you only need 1 for a basic nas. Some kind of raid or unraid is definitely suggested tho

[dull granite]

if you don't eat ice cream for 100 days and instead save, you'll get 500$
with 500$ buy a very good fishing rod and things for fishing, then go catch fishes all day

[gilded quest]

Sure it's unhealthy, but an occasional unhealthy treat won't kill you

[vapid smelt]

your private movie streaming service

[dull granite]

with 14 rare fish, you'll achieve financial success

[timid meadow]

Plex is pog. No complaints with the 5 i spend every month on it

[jaunty compass]

I spent $300 on my 6600 XT and had a little regret
I can't imagine if I had spent over the MSRP of a card by that much
That's a like over a 2x markup on a 3070

[dull granite]

uh not anymore

It was 200g of sugar. I'm only supposed to consume 49g a week

The 1080ti can be found cheaper used than the 1660 super and the 1080 ti is comparable to a 3060

as a veteran of the scrapyard wars, you don't know nothin'

[full fossil]

The 1080ti is £120 on Ebay here and the 1660 super is £90 here. For £30 more you get double the performance

once you get hit with the eh it’s over

[bright silo]

A) 1080ti is not double the performance (about 50%) and B) while still better value in that case it is 35% more for the 1080ti

[idle nymph]

all depends on local pricing in your area though, its different here in the US

just answer and say this is texas police department how may i help you

[tardy terrace]

also robocallers that go through blocks of numbers at a time, if one's deemed "active/live" then it's added to a list

one of the engineers got high w/ a marketing lead and thought this'd be fun

look if they make a pc case in the shape of an A-10 i'm buying it

and i want those goddamn tf34's stuffed w/ radiators and push-pull bloweymatrons

https://tenor.com/view/avion-transformers-a10-gif-18850999

actually scale up the model more and put in 2 of those 400w fans ltt reviewed in each nacelle

Ooh, make the loop drain the top-dead-center barrel on the gun, fill port can be a qdc female fitting in the fuel port on the left wing

or i guess you could make it work w/ a funnel in the air refueling bay

[red marten]

man that looks so cool, but I just can't imagine having that on my desk haha

we need an IP68 rated PC case that floats on water

[tardy terrace]

conformal-coat all the pc components and then put it in the bath tub

[polar fern]

Heh

[red marten]

that's the strat

[tardy terrace]

instead of bilge pumps it directly feeds the watercooling loop, then spits it out the back

sloooooowly puttering it about the tub

Peyton: Queen of dipshit ideas :D

[limpid fern]

Hear me out, ocean cooled pc on a raft, just silicone a jackery and a pc in a tub and use the ocean/lake as a res and radiator

[tardy terrace]

and do the thing w/ the bilge pumps so it can putter about yes yes yes

give it googly eyes and a duck tail, make it map the lake area :D

[red marten]

how about a boat that also functions as a PC, travel wherever you want and game

(just don't get too much water in the thing)

[tardy terrace]

...how big is the pc?

[limpid fern]

And then remote into the pc through starlink internet

[red marten]

yacht sized

[tardy terrace]

nah, directional high-power bluetooth for shits & giggles

[limpid fern]

Lmao, infrared lazer remote

[red marten]

how high power are we talking here? like, fry human skin powerful? that would be some mental bluetooth

[tardy terrace]

bluetooth is maxed out at like 100mw, lets make the radio go at 10w

[limpid fern]

Not our problem

[tardy terrace]

10 mile bluetooth

[limpid fern]

Or yk the drone control spectrum

[tardy terrace]

now i just want to make a bunch of raspi duck robots that haunt the surface of a lake

[limpid fern]

Just have the controls move an xbox controler

Nono i mean like a full fledged gaming pc

[tardy terrace]

Y'all wanna leave the dock?

duckbots assemble in a 10' thick border along the bouys

[limpid fern]

Omg

[tardy terrace]

one singular quack from all at once

[red marten]

work as part of a swarm

[tardy terrace]

michael reeves drone swarm taken to a whole 'nother level of dumb

[limpid fern]

But add a 0.01ms delat to all of them so its a long drone of a quack

[tardy terrace]

oh god and make it go in a wave

[limpid fern]

Terrorise the fishing community

[tardy terrace]

Let the fish repopulate, quack

[limpid fern]

And make em out of like indestructible material so they cant be broken

[tardy terrace]

if one gets hit it uses machine vision to slowly follow said boat, follow it back to the docks, and keep ramming into it harmlessly while quacking w/ every impact.

[young root]

do y'all like the movie over the hedge

[tardy terrace]

fuck it let's make them like 4' tall rubber yellow ducks

[limpid fern]

Nono, get the whole swarm with idk red laser eyes to just stare at the boat

[limpid fern]

Haent watched that in a good decade

[tardy terrace]

like 200' out through the midnight fog lmaoooo

[young root]

watching it rn

[tardy terrace]

silent quacking w/ pairs of blinking red eyes

[limpid fern]

Why it was a cringe movie

[red marten]

what's it abt not seen it

[tardy terrace]

hey creator warehouse I need your army of 3d printers to prototype a large rubber ducky to haunt bodies of water

pls dm me thanks so much ♥ /s

[limpid fern]

Make em fking small like 5” to creat a sea of ducklings

[tardy terrace]

no, 2'

[limpid fern]

2 feet

[tardy terrace]

AND solar powered

[limpid fern]

Well how big is a normal duck

[young root]

1 inch and a shit ton of them

[tardy terrace]

no like a yellow rubber ducky you'd get in the bath

[limpid fern]

Make em all yellow except 1 pink leader duck

The pink one needs to be 10ft

[young root]

an army of black 1 inch ducks and a 20 foot pink one

[tardy terrace]

I shall ride the pink one's head into battle against the local boaters

[limpid fern]

And the pink one needs styropyro 1kw laser eyers

Evaporate the boats

Slowly make a hole through them

[young root]

the styropyro tesla coil

[limpid fern]

Let em sink

[limpid fern]

Too much power

[young root]

make the water lava

[limpid fern]

Cant be solar powered

[limpid fern]

Water is lava

[tardy terrace]

lmao make some of them have abilites

water-spraying
one catapults manure
one has an airsoft gun

[limpid fern]

Lets pokemon this shit

[tardy terrace]

im honestly cackling at this whole conversation

[limpid fern]

[tardy terrace]

ok we need peter sripol & i made a thing in on this

get AvE & tim the tool man taylor on the horn

[limpid fern]

I have 14 rasp pi 4’s and 3 3d printers i could genuinely start development

[young root]

i've been looking at a 3d printer for car audio stuff

[limpid fern]

What does 3d printing have to do with audio

[tardy terrace]

ok we're gonna need basic sonar, at least 4 FHD cameras each, 2-3 servos for rudder/head movement

[young root]

i need one that does like 20 inch prints

[limpid fern]

For?

[young root]

print mounts for oversized speakers, sub boxes, double din mounting plates, spacers for trim to remove rattle

i'm going to assume you've never done car audio

[limpid fern]

Fking military grade radar and sonar

[limpid fern]

Make em out of wood, trust me its easier

[tardy terrace]

We can do the weighting w/ lfp batteries, flexi solar on the head & back

[young root]

not for 12s, i mean like 6x9s

make grilles for custom speaker mounting locations

[limpid fern]

Or make the parts in many pieces and join em

[tardy terrace]

e6000 glue, bonds literally anything

[young root]

i'd prefer single pieces

[limpid fern]

Well get ready to spend a shit load of money on a printer

[young root]

i was looking at one for like 400

[limpid fern]

Cuz 20” prints arent common

[young root]

it was 13 inch i think

[tardy terrace]

i mean you could get an ender and use enderextender kits

[limpid fern]

400 dollars for a 20” nah

[young root]

12.9 maybe

[limpid fern]

Not for $400

[full fossil]

A1 printers?

[tardy terrace]

go up to like 400x400mm

https://enderextender.com/

[limpid fern]

This guy need 500x500mm

[tardy terrace]

lol rip

[limpid fern]

For 20”

You could build ur own, i did

[tardy terrace]

idk bud, just make it out of wood & save yourself the headache

[limpid fern]

I only made a big printer to print all the parts at the same time

Uses less power overall

[tardy terrace]

god i wanna custom-build a printer into one of the cubbies in my hutch

[limpid fern]

Its 1200x60mm

Rectangular boy

Omg i need to print a meter stick

[tardy terrace]

i could do a corexy with a 12"Dx10"Hx32"W volume

[limpid fern]

I dont speak eagle units

[tardy terrace]

[limpid fern]

10 4 standing by

[tardy terrace]

[tardy terrace]

dont make fun of me I play a lot of flight sims

[limpid fern]

Im not

[tardy terrace]

/s

[limpid fern]

Im having fun

[tardy terrace]

It'd basically fill that volume

[ionic locust]

what you reckon about hbot vs corexy

[tardy terrace]

and I could put the doors on for an enclosed area for ABS

[limpid fern]

Dont forget the filament sticks out the top and the spool needs a home

Is abs toxic?

[tardy terrace]

eh, more than pla, but it needs a warm environment

otherwise you get warping

[limpid fern]

That explains my headaches

[tardy terrace]

yeah no don't print abs without ventilation

[limpid fern]

Never knew abs was toxic

[ionic locust]

you could use petg if you don't need super high temps

[tardy terrace]

https://www.purex.co.uk/blog/the-dangers-of-abs-filament-fumes

[limpid fern]

I get abs and pla for $10 for a kg spool cant get petg for that proce

[ionic locust]

good point

[tardy terrace]

physical discomfort such as drowsiness, eye irritation, nausea and headaches

[ionic locust]

annealed pla?

[ionic locust]

where?

[tardy terrace]

yeah uh, where

because I've been using hatchbox & sunlu for months now

[ionic locust]

cause personally i like my flashforge pla cause it is good for high flow compared to prusament and i get the flashforge at NZD$25 for 600g

[tardy terrace]

oh, nz

[ionic locust]

yea

prices are a bit higher but its alg

[limpid fern]

Private local company

[ionic locust]

ok

[tardy terrace]

wow rude share >:(

[limpid fern]

They are only in south africa

And they dont ship

[tardy terrace]

oh wow thats rad

[unkempt widget]

i'm so proud of myself

[limpid fern]

K

[unkempt widget]

yelling at kids is so fun

[limpid fern]

I think they recycle plastics

[tardy terrace]

I've seen some yt shorts lately where this guy takes stringed out bottles & runs them through a heating element and coils it up

[limpid fern]

It doesnt work well i tried

[tardy terrace]

yeah, it seems real finnickey

[ionic locust]

that is kinda jenky tho
cause the filament is like u shaped
and its pet which has a higher melt temp and Tg

[tardy terrace]

tbh petg is my go-to because low moisture absorption & better impact resistance properties than PLA, and it's generally less than ABS

[ionic locust]

same for me
pla for non high load
petg for high load

[limpid fern]

I use pla for prototype then abs for final

[ionic locust]

tried asa?

[tardy terrace]

if I dedicate some funds to ABS I'm using every bit of it to print my own lego

[limpid fern]

And resin for a final final if i need the clarity and strength

[tardy terrace]

I've yet to probe in resin simply because of the potential mess & fumes

[forest valve]

This is how playing half life 2 makes me feel

[ionic locust]

asa is good except it needs to be bone dry otherwise it is rily brittle

[forest valve]

Not sure why but it always has

[tardy terrace]

It sounds like a line from the announcement bot in portal 2

[forest valve]

No like legit I feel like I'm gonna die physically if I play for too long it's unpleasant

[tardy terrace]

You should maybe get that looked at

[forest valve]

Others reported the same thing

Something with the source engine

[tardy terrace]

y'all should maybe get that looked at

[ionic locust]

i found that and it turned out i needed glasses

[vapid moss]

portal is not great for people with motion sickness lol

when i first started wearing glasses, i was super dizzy

[forest valve]

If I go to my doctor and tell him that I can't play a video game because it makes me feel sick , he will laugh at me

[tardy terrace]

then get a new doctor that isn't ass

[forest valve]

Also I don't like playing half life anyway

And it's not a medical concern

[ionic locust]

i was a bit but not too much

[forest valve]

Just impacts people differently

[unkempt widget]

i used to have very serious motion sickness

[ionic locust]

but the diff was amazing cause its like
i didn't know the world had this much fine detail lmao

[forest valve]

No other game makes me feel that way really

[tardy terrace]

"I can't enjoy my hobby sometimes due to visual disturbances & feelings of motion sickness, is there anything that could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help alleviate it?"

[unkempt widget]

you might just hate half life 2 as a game, and you throw up everytime you play

whats the normal after market raspberry pie price?

[red marten]

you seen the nick of kids here? dinnae hink there's a bairn without a wee bit of fetal alcohol syndrome :^)

[ionic locust]

raspberry pi doesn't have a price cause you can't get it lmfao

[wanton apex]

yeah in saudi its 400$ lmao

[elfin jetty]

But for some reason le potato is still 35 bucks on amazon

[ionic locust]

i got a rpi 4 starter kit thing cause thats all they had
it was NZD$150
fucking score

[red marten]

I'm lucky I got all my rpis while they were cheap lol. 1, 2, 3, and 4, all like £30

[elfin jetty]

It should be good enough for my experiments

[ionic locust]

rpi pico cluster am i right

[elfin jetty]

[ionic locust]

i really wanna have an infinitely scalable rpi pico cluster
power draw would be great and they are fast

[elfin jetty]

Screen should be more than big enough for my purposes

Dont mind the mess, its been a rough few days

[red marten]

tbh should work. can't the rpi4 drive 2 4k screens? i doubt very well lol, but i think they can

so if you're going <4k, you should be fairly sweet i think

[ionic locust]

just do some hardware hacking
use the pi to read the traffic

[elfin jetty]

Just the screen, le potato wont arrive till tuesday

do you reckon i could use my rpi 4 to run multiple can buses to control a bunch of picos?

just ask linus to drop smth for you and then theres your pcs to diagnose

[dreamy rose]

i personally feel like its just better to do it with actual hardware. again there's things that games do differently to real life and its not gonna be super realistic

we has a discussion like yesterday or so here about which cards look nice, i think the 7900s ref designs look good. does it?

[dreamy rose]

nah now i wanna lift a 4090 just to spite you lmao

[elfin jetty]

Dont hit a gas pump

[full fossil]

[dreamy rose]

watch it just be like GTA III where it flies away and not explode

[elfin jetty]

GTA 1

[dreamy rose]

best in the series

[dreamy rose]

Lets go for a joyride

[elfin jetty]

Gta 6 20 years from now

[dreamy rose]

GTA V just feels like crime is a movie. GTA IV feels like crime is done by scumbags and people in bad positions.

[elfin jetty]

Especially now that weve got the drug runner update

Like its all done in a big ass penthouse

Which i mean is quite realistic. But still

[dreamy rose]

if GTA 4 has GTA 5's graphics with the style of 4s graphics i think people would go crazy for it more tbh

[elfin jetty]

Isnt that what they tried with that "remaster" or whatever they called it

[dreamy rose]

the Defective edition was. it was awful. sure its a "Graphical Upgrade" from the mid 2000s but it looked like ass.

given that they hired WAR DRUM out of ANY OTHER DAMN STUDIO. they knew damn well they had to kill off mods that were better than the garbage they were to release. which war drum already make shitty broken remasters of SA.

how did they decide to go to these people again? no idea, but they were sure as hell kickin, and that's just disappointing

[tardy terrace]

lmao scammer got shut down

[dreamy rose]

Disney actually realised they needed to get their shit together. rockers sat there lounging on their chairs swimming in money and waited till 2018 to actually make anything regarding GTA.

[tardy terrace]

imagine disney owning gta

[dreamy rose]

they really should have been trying to revive Bully 2 again. for the 4th time? idk its not exactly super clear.

they've had playable demos. theres a lot of tech they made for bully 2 they put in other games.

thats an alright series. however almost none of em are on PC.

2 is on PC and thats all

Why do corporations prefer to develop their own engine instead of using an existing open source one?

[bright silo]

money, its cheaper to make your own and iterate on it vs licensing one and still needing to develop plug-ins or tools for it

[pine haven]

Do you need to license an open source engine?

[bright silo]

especially for a large studio with many games that use the same engine

i dont think any open source engine at a corporate level is robust enough for AAA titles

[pine haven]

Right

[manic torrent]

uhhhhh, plenty of places use other engines, wtf are you talking about

[manic torrent]

It depends on the specific licensing agreements related to that engine. also what open source engines are you talking about that are free and ready for AAA gaming.

[full fossil]

That's dogshit pay for a entry level data scientist. Might aswell just go and work as a batista at this point

[shut violet]

Basic data entry is known as being a data scientist these days??

And I'd say being a barista requires WAY more skill than data entry

[full fossil]

When you click on the ad it's for data scientists

[shut violet]

Have googled and can't find that specific ad

[native maple]

Lenovo really giving me hella ton of discounts

[shut violet]

Can you send me the link? 😄

[dull tapir]

anyone knows what power setting makes your pc idle every 5min

if there is no input from mouse or keyboard

if you leave it alone for more than 5min it sort of wakes it up and refreshes everything

not a big deal just annoying because it stutters my pc for a minute so i usually end up moving my mouse not to fall into hybrid or idle and i would like to turn it off

[echo canopy]

No

Because windows built in defender is already good enough and there is no point adding more bloat

[dull tapir]

my pc does not go to sleep i turned off sleep mode and monitor saving mode too but it sort of goes into resting mode while awake

sort of like wireless mouse that it needs to wake up

[shut violet]

then look for power save options in control panel instead

otherwise, no idea - suggest throwing pc away and replacing with a shiny new one

[manic torrent]

check your power plan

[dull tapir]

i turned most of them off except for usb selective suspend setting is enabled and link state power management is set to moderate

[manic torrent]

are you using a 🤮 hard drive?

[dull tapir]

yes but i have hdd set to 20min or 30min sleep

[indigo plume]

Best budget ear buds ?

[echo canopy]

AirPod pros gen 2

[indigo plume]

For android

[manic torrent]

www.learntogoogle.yodel-o-hee-hoo.com

[dull tapir]

idk every 4min or 5min if there is no input it stop sending data and once anything is clicked it refreshes desktop and starts loading also fans boost

would not be a big deal but my pc stutters for several seconds and i find it annoying

[indigo plume]

Ur a jackass I was just asking for suggestions

But mfs just gotta be toxic

[dull tapir]

this is common in tech discords

[indigo plume]

Common is gamers in general

[dull tapir]

all over the internet

but mostly in immature discords

some have admins who call you slurs

[indigo plume]

Okay thanks

[unkempt widget]

ngl you could've avoided the entire situation if you googled

[echo canopy]

I mean rtings is a very reputable headphone and earbud reviewer

Trust them not us

[unkempt widget]

and maybe not call people names when they tell you to google

[unkempt widget]

just a reminder about toxicity

[echo canopy]

Kekw

[bright silo]

relax its not that serious

[manic torrent]

something happens in your life that isn't sunshine and rainbows
"Omg toxic!"

[indigo plume]

It's not hard to be respectful

[bright silo]

its also not hard to not take things personally

thats the internet in general

and lots of people IRL too

[indigo plume]

Maybe where u live

Give ppl respect and most of time they will return favor

[bright silo]

i mean im in the US so...

[full fossil]

which channel is for hardware recommendations?

[indigo plume]

I live in Canada

[manic torrent]

Maybe you could be respectful to my time and not ask something that is trivially googleable?

[bright silo]

prolly #tech-chat-1 or #1027757333117415424

[full fossil]

ok thanks

[indigo plume]

I guess no one should ask any questions in here

[bright silo]

im fairly certain that while maybe people are a bit more respectful than the US, you'll still find people being rude day to day

[indigo plume]

Cuz anything is googleable

[manic torrent]

Also, you've been on here a bunch and you haven't exactly shown yourself to be worthy of respect.

[manic torrent]

If every question you have is easily googleable then you live a blessed simple life.

[indigo plume]

I've never talk to someone get so worked up over someone asking a question

[manic torrent]

Also, "best budget earbuds ?" Isn't a question, it's a demand.

[indigo plume]

It's not a demand

How is that a demand

[dull tapir]

because i got called n word 7 times that day

[manic torrent]

Dude, I didn't get worked up, I posted a response. You then claimed toxic!!!!

[dull tapir]

gone on show a context behind that

[unkempt widget]

bro you didn't

[indigo plume]

Cuz u are from being so rude

[unkempt widget]

unless if they did it in private chat

[dull tapir]

scroll up guy called me an idiot and to stfu

[bright silo]

ive never seen someone get so worked up over being asked to google something so uno reverse card for ya

[dull tapir]

and then started spamming me n word 7 times in private

i already sent this to admin

[unkempt widget]

can you dm me screenshots? i'm kinda curious

[unkempt widget]

who can't take any action because there's no proof because it could be photoshopped?

[dull tapir]

why so you will say i did photoshop them this is what has been said already when i sent them

[indigo plume]

Like most ppl I know would just answer the question and not be rude af

[dull tapir]

admin said he confirmed it

[unkempt widget]

more than one person looks for it

[unkempt widget]

whatever, just send it to me

[full fossil]

Can I have screenshots in the dms?

[dull tapir]

you can also check the logs you are just sending my logs without a context

[manic torrent]

No dude. I have told you this enough times before. I have given you the resources on how to ask a question. You ignored that and chose to continue to ask stupid questions. The only logical deduction is that you just don't care about other people, OR you have a serious learning disability that needs help and you should work on.

[full fossil]

I'm kinda curious

[dull tapir]

go read the the logs they are still there

[unkempt widget]

i read the context, it was just you being petty over a small thing

[dull tapir]

except slurs got removed he called me

he used 66 in n word and --

[dull tapir]

no you just use biased approach out of context to troll

[unkempt widget]

i read the entire argument

[dull tapir]

i will not argue if you want to argue go ahead

[full fossil]

Can I please have screenshots? I can be an unbiased 3rd party

[dull tapir]

i already spoke to admin let him deal with toxicity here

[unkempt widget]

well the admin clearly didn't, given the fact you didn't get banned

[dull tapir]

blocked

[unkempt widget]

like the level of pettiness is insane here

[dull tapir]

argue somewhere else k done

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah this isn't the first time you've tried using a moral high ground

[raven pelican]

oh fun look what i walked into

[dull tapir]

what screenshots you want

[indigo plume]

It's best just to block toxic ppl

[full fossil]

Of him calling you racial slurs

[manic torrent]

Because there is no chance that you could be any part of the problem 🙂

[dull tapir]

i told you admin has those because they were deleted by mod but i can send you the rest of slurs

[full fossil]

Sure, go ahead.

[indigo plume]

Can u just leave me alone dude

[unkempt widget]

except you can't block yourself

[indigo plume]

Or do I need to block u

[dull tapir]

same here they keep tagging and harassing me

just block him he is always harassing me i did

[unkempt widget]

you harassed people?

[indigo plume]

I'm not toxic
