Apple silicon > qualcom. Atleast 2-3 generations ahead. Apple haters are cringe tbh

You call yourself pcmr and can’t appreciate a good SoC

[glad mist]

Apple silicon also doesn’t leak data to Qualcomm

[random jolt]

fanboying for any company is cringe, apple/samsung/google included

[small oasis]

i mean.. Intel even followed the performance / efficiency core layout after Apple did it

[glad mist]

Yes but healthy praise is good

[random jolt]

fact

[night heron]

and ryzen meatriders are still calling efficiency cores cringe almost 2 years later

but once amd starts using big:little too theyll talk about how it's the greatest thing ever

[full fossil]

Apple was cringe when they used intel. Ngl I used to think they were overpriced pos laptops

[glad mist]

I’m praising the good Apple does but I also am terribly disappointed in how Apple handles right to repair

[strong kettle]

You dont even need that much processing power in a phone but sure it be nice to see it blow the snap 8 gen 2 out if the water

[glad mist]

Yeah me too but now they’re actually worth it

[full fossil]

I mean I don't like big.LITTLE personally

Apple m1 changed everything. It’s actually awesome. No windows laptop can touch it

[night heron]

m1 is 3 years old and it still cant be touched by intel or amd

[full fossil]

Give me full cores, not BS souped up ATOM cores

[strong kettle]

efficiency is insane

[night heron]

im keen to see the m3 macbook air

[random jolt]

like I actually can't use an android phone cuz I'm just that used to ios, but I just can't use macos cuz it's not compatible with half the stuff I do for uni/work. and that's just for me and for my situation and it's probs completely different for u

[full fossil]

And I have more intel then AMD chips

[small oasis]

i have the M2 Max MacBook Pro and i friggin' love the thing. perfect with my iPad Pro as it acts as a second screen for my Mac when I'm traveling.

[night heron]

that's a beastly laptop

i have a 16" m1 pro myself and ive never heard the fans a single time

[strong kettle]

The speakers on the mac are amazing too

[night heron]

every time i open it up and look at its display it makes me sad that nothing we have in the desktop monitor market is remotely as good

near-oled blacks and it can sustain 1000nits fullscreen

[pliant karma]

Nice how hard do you push it out of curiosity lol. I’ll prob hear it when I export edits but yet to try

[night heron]

it very rarely gets pushed but i didnt hear its fans when i ran cinebench or when i played WoW

[small oasis]

dude.. THIS. so easy on my eyes as i get older. i love the screen.

[unkempt widget]

i've never heard the fans once on my m2 air

[polar fern]

How long does it take for a phone number to be used on a different Discord account?

I have waited multiple days after trying to do some testing on a temporary account, which has been since deleted

Great, it’s now saying 14 to 30 days when I’m looking into it further

If I had known that I would not have used that phone number I would have used email instead

[past egret]

what and why

[fluid ridge]

deleting your discord account doesnt delete any of the data associated with it

it merely "anonymizes" your messages and locks you out of said account

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

[fluid ridge]

i dont think discord is GDPR compliant

in fact im pretty sure they got fined by the french pretty recently for violating gdpr

[random jolt]

yeah a phone number account is like the most annoying type of account to try to get rid of

I just use the icloud email alias for everything now cuz it's basically unlimited email alias u can yeet for any reason

[fluid ridge]

i dont trust apple's hide my email thing

i use protonmail's simplelogin

[random jolt]

I mean I don't trust it for privacy stuff either, just use it for like a dominos account or something

[fluid ridge]

fair fair

honestly email handles are basically public information though

you can randomly type in a email address and there's a good chance someone uses it

spam email is annoying but is by far not the worst privacy implication

[random jolt]

yeah I used to have 1 email for all logins but finally moved away from that during my basically 2yr long opsec overhaul a few yrs back and swapped everything to individual emails, pw, and hw security keys

now I can actually say I don't know the email or password to any of my accounts lol

like if I lose access to my pw manager I can't even get into my own google account lol

[fluid ridge]

me either, i know the email just not the password ahahha

[marsh jungle]

most likely due to partial tencent ownership

i used to have 100s of dms with the old warship i think, unless they switched up user ids

it was lmg warship

not warship

also why can i add warship to servers

[mint yacht]

Because it is a bot you can use to moderate your own servers

[worn carbon]

i thought it would be verified i guess not. i know lmg warship was closed off to lmg

i guess devs don't want to give discord ids or something, i'm not a developer

dang i hope my info doesn't get stolen i authorized it i guess

it's not like it can anyways

Well you just mentioned above its the first you heard of it?

i'm still confused how that word is Hard R
calling it "hard R" implies there is a "soft R" version of it? I am not familiar with any Soft R version of that word

Also what is defraging

[tardy terrace]

[acoustic pond]

its what you should do on HDD but not SSDs or nvmes

[gilded quest]

only for HDDs

[ionic carbon]

Ok but what does it do

[gilded quest]

and idk if defragging is really relevant these days

[tardy terrace]

In the maintenance of file systems, defragmentation is a process that reduces the degree of fragmentation. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions-

[ionic carbon]

Aight thanks

[timber yacht]

hi

[ionic carbon]

Also makes sense why only hdd

[acoustic pond]

it is if you use a lot of hard drive space and want to maximize storage but yea its getting less relevant

Whats bad is windows 10 will have it enabled by default sometimes even if its a SSD

[tardy terrace]

fragging & defragging

[acoustic pond]

fraggle rock?

yeah ssd's version of defrag is trim and most ssds already do that automatically w/o the os doing anything

I’m in Tennessee and the crime rate is pretty awful here too, I hate it so much

[near nymph]

Yes? I own a print farm. And work with industry leaders in many fields like the G*y toy industry.

[thorny axle]

lol

[tardy terrace]

why lol, that's rad

[thorny axle]

Say I wanted to print an axle and wheel. Would there be too much friction between the two? Assume lubrication. Your experience sounds like it may come in handy here.

[tardy terrace]

:|

[thorny axle]

I was thinking about toothpasting between the wheel and axle to try to sort of sand it down

Or maybe using some cesium oxide thingy which apparently helps

[full fossil]

hey, few days ago i asked you about z333 and now that i ordered them i need to know will it affect the sound quality and experience if i put speakers above my monitors since i dont have space on my desk

[tardy terrace]

i mean, if you angle the speakers towards you

[near nymph]

?

[thorny axle]

About 3d printing axles and wheels

[full fossil]

yeah they will be towards me but just above my monitors

[tardy terrace]

Don't help them, immature jokes inbound.

[thorny axle]

[manic torrent]

the ideal position is ear level in an equal triangle

Grease. Alot of grease.

Also sand it down.

[full fossil]

this is going to be above my ear level i imagine since im always laying down

[manic torrent]

bearings. also.. you sound like you're doing ti wrong.

[thorny axle]

Well, the wheels are internal

It’s actually being printed for a dragster all at once

[tardy terrace]

if you're getting bubbling on the walls you need to drop your temp a few degrees and/or slow your print speed

[thorny axle]

Axles are connected to the car, wheels have a 0.2mm gap

[thorny axle]

But I wonder if the imperfections in the plastic, say from layering, would cause any issues

And more accurately, how to fix that problem

[tardy terrace]

tune your printer

[thorny axle]

I don’t really have that sort of time or option

[manic torrent]

you can't. 3D printing is a shit solution for wheels and axles.

[thorny axle]

Since I’m getting someone else to print it, the only way I have is post-processing

[thorny axle]

Eh, it gives a large advantage if my calculations are correct, which I am confident they are

[manic torrent]

over....

[tardy terrace]

why not just print the wheels and use a nail for the axle

[thorny axle]

Not the 3d printing part, but an advantage over normal metal axles

[manic torrent]

oh, yeah nah.

[thorny axle]

Specifically, having a non-uniform axle

[manic torrent]

I've made a lot of machines and RC cars, and yeah. metal axles is where it's at.

[thorny axle]

Which you can’t really get with a metal axle

[manic torrent]

also, bearings.

you absolutely can

[thorny axle]

It lowers how big the wheel needs to be, which lowers rotational inertia bla bla helps time

[tardy terrace]

what do you mean non-uniform

[manic torrent]

it doesn't at all

[thorny axle]

It is 2mm diameter everywhere except where the wheels are, where it’s 25mm and 30mm, respectively

[manic torrent]

you can use a 4mm axle.

[thorny axle]

It does here

[thorny axle]

Barely makes a difference, that’s tiny

Basically the same as 2

[tardy terrace]

If you use a metal axle w/ graphite lube you'll have more weight = more acceleration

[thorny axle]

More weight means less acceleration

[tardy terrace]

D-.. Do you understand gravity

[thorny axle]

And we have a minimum weight

[thorny axle]

It’s CO2, not pinewood derby

Also, weight doesn’t (theoretically) affect acceleration

[manic torrent]

more rotating weight, not more vehicle weight

[tardy terrace]

your axles are gonna fall apart immediately

[thorny axle]

I mean, there’s only about 2kg of force at the peak

[manic torrent]

look at RC cars. That's what you want. 3D printed axles is a TERRIBLE idea

[tardy terrace]

you know what, use a straw

[thorny axle]

Straw still misses the benefit of a varying thickness

[manic torrent]

My 1/8 RC car accelerates faster than most full size cars

[thorny axle]

Eh, still different

Those are driven by the wheels, this is not. This is slowed down by the wheels

[manic torrent]

yes, which is why you should be using a bearing

[thorny axle]

How would I do that

[manic torrent]

2WD RC cars have front wheels without axles

[thorny axle]

I heard ceramic bearings have extremely low friction coefficients

Which is also extremely important here

[manic torrent]

make the hole big enough for a bearing, and then ... put the bearing in

honestly... buy a cheap shit RC car and pull the wheel bits off.

[thorny axle]

Not allowed

Also way too heavy

These things need to weigh 102g

[manic torrent]

yeah..... you don't know anything about RC cars.

[thorny axle]

And there’s a minimum wheel size

[manic torrent]

It will be lighter and better than anything you can reasonably make

[thorny axle]

These wheels weigh less than 7 grams, so idk

[thorny axle]

Would a 3d printed wheel work there?

Assuming I polished it and whatnot

[manic torrent]

are you using the 3d printed surface as an actual wheel?

[thorny axle]

You am using the 3d printed surface as the wheel, yes

Because of the size of the wheel, it actually will keep up with the car, even with the very low friction

It shouldn’t slip into kinetic friction, which is a huge time killer

[thorny axle]

Wheel diameter should be 30mm for the front and 35 for the back

[manic torrent]

ok so the wheels are TINY

[thorny axle]

1.5mm wide in the front, 12 in the back

[thorny axle]

It’s 102 grams. Those wheels right there probably weigh that

And obviously lower weight is significantly better for a CO2 dragster

[manic torrent]

I assure you they do not

[thorny axle]

I imagine they are a lot heavier than 7 grams, which is how much my wheels weigh

[manic torrent]

Suitable for: Wltoys K969 K979 K989 K999 P929 P939 1/28 RC car. Wheel hub diameter is 22mm,and the diameter is 27mm after installing tire

[thorny axle]

And the weight?

Like 10 grams each?

[manic torrent]

no idea, but it's a plastic wheel with a tiny rubber tyre

you can see it right there.

[thorny axle]

My wheels are essentially tiny plastic tires

I can’t send a pic, but I have a design

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1100576616121372873/1100576624971350068/image.png

Eh, good enough

Ignore the green

Those are the front wheels

Here’re the back wheels

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1100576616121372873/1100577443733045378/Screenshot_2023-04-25_202124.png

If they’re any bigger, the acceleration from the thrust is enough to knock them into a slide, which isn’t good

[manic torrent]

... unless they are rubber

[thorny axle]

But then they’re also heavier

[manic torrent]

I have one of those little wheels in my hand right now. I will weight it in a minute

[thorny axle]

There’s a frictional force on the car which is sort of proportional to the mass of the wheels

[thorny axle]

It’s kind of weird in the formula because it doesn’t affect it like the other forces

But it is proportional to the rotational inertia

I would be stunned if any of those wheels weigh less than 3 grams

[rustic grove]

1hr sleep is gonna be good for school tomorrow i bet

[thorny axle]

Perfect amount

[manic torrent]

the other flip side to that is the friction of the wheel against the axle or bearing

[thorny axle]

That is a concern, yes

I have thought about lubricating the areas where the wheel would make contact

[rustic grove]

waiting for my rx580 to arrive to go with my 3770k

[thorny axle]

As well as maybe adding bearings there if possible?

Whatever ends up being the most efficient

[thorny axle]

And really the rubber wheels would be worse there, since they’d have way more friction sliding against the body of the car

[rustic grove]

when i made a thermoelectric cooler/heater mini split (sorta) i used wd 40 when the fan was spinning bad

[thorny axle]

WD40: the savior of mankind

[manic torrent]

.... they should not slide against the car at all

[thorny axle]

Ah, so I’d be using their axles

[manic torrent]

ok I weighed one of those wheels. It literally didn't register on the scale. the scale has a 1g accuracy

[thorny axle]

One of these wheels?

[rustic grove]

its a really cool story on how i made it and 4x cheaper what i got quoted for 3 rooms in the uk (quoted £7000ish with install) and it cost me only £300 including all the 3d printing fillament it took! and it has 3 seperate heater/cooler loops each using 4 pads and the indoor units using recycled radiators! if you have a 3d printer and need air con like breeze i would give it a shot because unlike the fake youtube videos on this topic, all the waste heat/cold is dumped outside where the outdoor unit is!

[thorny axle]

I think all 4 wheels in my car combined added up to 6.77 grams

Obviously most from the back wheels, as they are much wider

[manic torrent]

10g for all four

[thorny axle]

So yeah, it’s a tiny bit heavier

Better than I thought though, I’ll give you that

[manic torrent]

I have made 1/14 cars do over 100km/hr

[thorny axle]

If they’re driven by the wheels, then you definitely need a different design

[manic torrent]

The absolutely most important thing for you is the bearings for the wheels

[thorny axle]

You have whole different forces at play

[thorny axle]

Yep, I have aerodynamics figured out as much as I’m going to figure it out. Friction is the real killer

[manic torrent]

(after aerodynamics obviously)

[thorny axle]

Honestly, I think friction might take priority in the speeds we’re talking

No more than about 50 kmph

[ruby grove]

just looking around the server and i ask myself how is 50 dollars "cheap" like bro that is a gold pile of money in pesos (Argentina hyperinflation)

[thorny axle]

Eh, 55

[manic torrent]

Yeah you will need some aerodynamic stability but it won't be the bigger factor wrt speed.

[thorny axle]

I compared my car to an optimal curve

[manic torrent]

Everything is relative

[thorny axle]

If I remove the air resistance, I get about halfway there, if I remove the friction, also about halfway

And obviously I can’t get air resistance that low, so yeah, friction is the concern

Which is what I came here for, lol

[ruby grove]

"i come to this server for computer stuff, end up knowing about cars"

[thorny axle]

I’m going to be honest, I’m not very workshop savvy, so I’m not actually sure where the bearing is supposed to go

[full fossil]

Most people aren’t dealing with argentina’s insane hyper inflation

[thorny axle]

I know what needs to be done, but I’m not 100% on how it should be done

[neon mesa]

it's public chat, where things get more off topic than an ADHD kid trying to focus in class

[ruby grove]

bro i just want a snack but it costs a kidney 😢

[polar fern]

Whew, got the phone number issue resolved.

[thorny axle]

To my understanding, ceramic bearings have the lowest coefficient of friction

[polar fern]

Ceramic bearings for what? Like zircon?

[ruby grove]

linus saying "we got this cheap computer which is not pretty good" and it is literally double ram of my PC and a better cpu

[thorny axle]

Wdym for what

[polar fern]

It’s a simple question. What’s the bearings for?

[thorny axle]

A wheel

[polar fern]

What kinda wheel?

[thorny axle]

Which I was planning to print out of PLA

[ruby grove]

for bearing

[thorny axle]

A very thin wheel

[polar fern]

For?

[thorny axle]

A CO2 dragster

[polar fern]

Oh. Like RC?

[thorny axle]

CO2, so not really RC

[near nymph]

Tf would you make a wheel out of PLA?

[thorny axle]

I meant ABS, but same issue I suppose. It allows me to make the wheel very small, which has mathematical advantages for a CO2 dragster

Specifically, if the wheel is below a certain size, it will roll instead of slide, which helps the time a lot

[near nymph]

If you want a insane advantage. SLS and MJF. :3

[timid meadow]

Sounds similar to a pinewood derby car but with "nos"?

Or probably specifically propelled by the co2

[thorny axle]

You go down a straight track and are powered by a CO2 cartridge

[near nymph]

Oh I won one of those contests before

[neon mesa]

would be more fun to use H2 plus Fire

[thorny axle]

Not sure what those are

[near nymph]

Different types of 3d printing tech.

[thorny axle]

We’re going to the state competition, want to do better than at regionals

[thorny axle]

Stereolithography?

[tardy terrace]

it's a 3d printed derby car powered by co2, and most likely has guides on the top for string to go through to keep it in a straight line.

[thorny axle]

The bottom, but yes

Exactly the idea. So the goal is obviously minimizing friction

[timid meadow]

Just googled it. Looks fun. I used to do pinewood derby stuff which is the same idea but instead of co2 propelled you all start at the top of a slope

[thorny axle]

Will an ABS wheel work on them?

[thorny axle]

Yeah, I’ve seen those

[manic torrent]

I don't understand the question....

[thorny axle]

Totally different problem

[thorny axle]

Will using a 3d printed wheel on a ceramic bearing cause issues as well?

[tardy terrace]

The bearing goes between the body & the axle

[manic torrent]

all (of these sort of) bearings work the same, more or less. Outer shell, inner shell, bearings in between.

[thorny axle]

And they turn very effortlessly

[manic torrent]

you can have a fixed axle and a wheel on a bearing, or the axle on a bearing and the wheel fixed to the axle.

[thorny axle]

Not sure what exactly you mean

[tardy terrace]

outer shell is fitted to the body, inner shell is on the axle, low friction, high rotating speed

[thorny axle]

I believe fixed axle is better. Rotational inertia in play again

[polar fern]

Roller bearings good.

[thorny axle]

Ah, alright

[manic torrent]

except then you are rotating the outside of the bearing, not the inside, so it depends how much your axle weighs

[thorny axle]

Is that worse?

[manic torrent]

how does centripedal force work....

[thorny axle]

Centripetal force is not rotational inertia

But I’ll assume that’s a yes

[manic torrent]

ok, how is rotational inertia affected if you move mass outwards.

[thorny axle]

More bad

How much do one of those ceramic bearings weigh

[manic torrent]

that's a question for you to research 🙂

[thorny axle]

Fair enough

https://vxb.com/products/full-ceramic-608-miniature-ball-bearing-8x22x7-zro2?variant=43559827472619&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&tm=tt&ap=gads&aaid=adaxXEtq4CiMg&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-uP9vtnG_gIVI8_jBx1PFAvWEAQYAyABEgIjBPD_BwE

This looks basically like what I want

[polar fern]

Looks spinny

Smooth

[thorny axle]

Delicious

Well, it’s PTFE, which is a bit heavier than ABS

Actually by quite a fair bit

[manic torrent]

at that rate, just use the bearing as the wheel tbh

[thorny axle]

I have thought about that

[polar fern]

Ptfe? Like Teflon?

[thorny axle]

Yep

[thorny axle]

I doubt they’d allow that, but it would be pretty funny

I wanted low friction, I got the lowest friction

[manic torrent]

why not? what's the rules

[polar fern]

The hub & ring are Teflon?

[thorny axle]

I mean, it’s not in spec for either wheel, though idk if it’s explicitly against the rules to use a bearing as your wheel

[thorny axle]

I guess. Teflon has extremely low friction, so it makes sense

[polar fern]

Tread adhered to ring full send

[thorny axle]

Nono, I have the best idea.

[manic torrent]

it sounds like what you should do is buy a bearing that's in spec for the wheels, and then if you need to, use plastidip or something to coat it.

or a rubber band.

[thorny axle]

Use a bearing as a bearing, then a larger bearing as the wheel

[thorny axle]

NOW we’re talking

[thorny axle]

Put it this way, something like 80% of cars at regionals were disqualified, so idk if I want to take my chances that far

[polar fern]

Yo dawg. I heard you like ball roller bearings

[thorny axle]

These guys have DQ’d cars because they didn’t like the way it was 3d printed

[manic torrent]

I would read the rules and ABSOLUTELY 100% comply with the exact written rules.

because that's how racing works 😉

[polar fern]

@thorny axle sounds Butthurt

[thorny axle]

I’ve already stretched the rules with these axles

Idk if I need to warp them any more

[manic torrent]

all rules are made to be stretched.

[thorny axle]

Look, I’ve stretched this elastic really far. I’m starting to hear the crackling of the fibers

Maybe it’s time to just take it down one notch

[pulsar violet]

My parents laptop crapped itself so I plugged the HDD into my pc for file transfers, does it take long to access the users info because mine stops progressing after a while when the green bar nears the end

[thorny axle]

Does lubricating bearings help them?

Help meaning performance, not longevity

[manic torrent]

depends, but you generally want to use ptfe lube or graphite or bearing oil

[thorny axle]

The car’s only got to go 20 meters, lol

[thorny axle]

Graphite, perfect

That’s what we have

now that's an old reference

[thorny axle]

It’s a classic

[thorny axle]

My teacher said he would reimburse me. If I spend $240 on bearings, what will he do 🤔

Not really like he can just say no

[manic torrent]

that's not fair to put on your teacher

[thorny axle]

Of course not

[manic torrent]

but you could merely say they are $10 bearings

[chrome vector]

because of the implication?

[thorny axle]

But then I get no money back

[chrome vector]

would you happen to have a boat?

[thorny axle]

Shh

[manic torrent]

I have several boats

[chrome vector]

[thorny axle]

No, but he was about to spend $3000 to get hotel rooms for everyone (except me)

So I really could care less. The school obviously has the money, and he has just been a jerk to me

[thorny axle]

Long story

[manic torrent]

that seems complex

[thorny axle]

Sort of

He’s generally a rule breaker

Basically, he didn’t want me in the hotel because I’ll cause problems

You know, snapping people with rubber bands, shocking then by standing up off of school chairs

Normal stuff like that

[manic torrent]

that seems fair

[thorny axle]

I’d think the same if it wasn’t 5 hours away

[manic torrent]

maybe you should have thought of that before being a shit 🙂

[thorny axle]

Fortunately, my grandmother lives only 30 minutes away from the place, so I’ll just go there

So I get to be a shit and still go

I’m also the only person in the entire club who has done anything on this project, so it’s only fair

[chrome vector]

tfw you get a knock off digital caliper measure off of Amazon and it gives you THREE batteries while regular companies don't give you shit.

How can knock off companies on Amazon be better than companies that charge 10x as much

At least in regards to this. Now I don't have to worry about batteries for a very long time.

[thorny axle]

Now you just have to worry about where that money came from

[thorny axle]

and somehow, this shitty economy (because literally everywhere except coruscant is a fucking shithole) supports the construction of not one, not two, but THREE planet size planet destroying ships, one of which is like a portable dyson sphere that can use the entire power of a sun as a projectile weapon.

(but apparently in doing so doesn't destabilise the entire area so badly that you wouldn't need to fire it anywhere in any case)

what even IS physics

The amount of planets destroyed in Star Wars films went from 1 to 10, once Disney took over.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Destroyed_planets

[chrome vector]

Unironically, the first time I watched The Force Awakens, I didn't even realize they were destroying the planet the new galactic senate was on, they did a shit job of explaining it. The worst part is there were cut scenes that explained that... They really should have kept them in. AFTER I found out it was the senate they destroyed I thought they blew of Corussant

[stray apex]

It really doesn't help that the Republic is basically non-existent

[chrome vector]

Oh boy, this is controversial. But I unironically liked The Last Jedi better than The Force Awakens. While the whole plot wasn't how I would have done or wanted it, I didn't have that many criticisms until the The Rise of Skywalker. Love or hate the first two movies, but they fucked everything up with that.

I can't believe they made a direct sequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, and didn't even have a plan

[chrome vector]

fair

[manic torrent]

the thing is, the first movie (and sequels but mostly the first) locked in a whole bunch of stupid shit into canon, some of which made sense in 1979, some of which was just lucas' fever dream.

[stray apex]

Eh, the rise of Skywalker was doomed to fail the moment they decided to have two different directors for the first two films with no overarching plan

[chrome vector]

It also really sucks that Carrie Fisher died before they could finish the third movie, that also really screwed them. I don't think Disney has the balls to do it, but I really hope they retcon and remake the sequel trilogy... I don't even care if they use all the same actors, but I would support it if they actually had a plan.

I don't know man. Or even if they just redo The Rise of Skywalker... I don't man... Something.

[chrome vector]

Yeah, I agree. And then Carrie Fisher died limiting them more. They really fucked themselves, and the canon and suffers for it.

Like I said, I'm not one of the people who hated The Last Jedi, or The Force Awakens, even if I wouldn't have done it like that, they just fucked themselves so badly by not having literally any plan. I still hope they do something, redo the last movie at least... Do something.

I fucking hate google. it's unreliable and has a bunch of either AI-generated shit or sponsored links, which is why I come to the "experts" (compared to Google).

[chrome vector]

Honestly havent even seen the shoes though

[manic torrent]

I have literally spent more on RGB

[manic torrent]

that is because you have a skill issue, not because of google.

[past egret]

ok heres an expert opinion on that, youre wrong

RGB gives me headache

This is clearly the best gaming mouse of all time

Your opinion is invalid if you disagree

[graceful burrow]

I have a rule
If I can find the answer within 30 seconds from opening Google I won't answer it

Guess what I found in less than 15

[manic torrent]

How is that possible, since you can configure it in any way including off.

[manic torrent]

Also if I can literally select your question right click it, select search in Google, you are subject to humiliation, because you have failed.

[chrome vector]

I'm gonna say the no-no sentence:

Bing is a good search engine and doesn't get nearly enough credit.

[graceful burrow]

If you ask the right questions, Bing ai is easily the best

[manic torrent]

You have failed the dunning Kruger test of meta-knowledge where not only don't you know the thing you want to know, you don't possess the basic ability to use a computer to get it. In addition, it's also likely that your question is probably in furtherance of a ridiculous solution you are trying to build for a problem you don't fully understand, therefore making the entire thing a waste of everyone's time.

[dawn anchor]

there's no skill involved. no emount of learning overformal english will help a search engine.

Speaking of AI generated….anyone messing with native hosted Llama LLMs?

it ALWAYS gets things COMPLETELY wrong. I literally wrote down "Ryzen 5000" and what did it give me? Ryzen 7000!

[graceful burrow]

Did you find your platter answer yet

[dawn anchor]

because you're not looking for the same thing.

[hazy parrot]

If chat gpt is still amusing to you, you guys really ought to see what the open source community has been up to

[chrome vector]

Yeah before I even used it for regular searches many years ago I used it's image search because it's really good. If nothing else it's the best alternative to Google when you can't find it on there, especially for images. But now with it's AI it's even better. Google still has some great things too, like Google Scholar and some other advance searches. I also still love the Im Feeling Lucky button

Yeah but not in the preview. You can't click through, that's another whole click

AI is great n all for that, but if you don’t have an accountability system it’s like trying to quit carbs for more than a week
