23andme doesnt do anything. Now if you can trace back with legal documents. Yeah.

Just because you are genetically German doesn't mean you can gain citizenship if someone along the line renounced it.

[graceful burrow]

I didn't ask

[crude jasper]

if they renounced it because of ww2 it'd likely be overlooked

back then you had to renounce if you wanted to live somewhere else

rather, needed to

[pure olive]

renounce this dick

[near nymph]

🤔 it makes me curious now... Can I get Chinese citizenship...

[crude jasper]

get taiwan citizenship

taiwan is the real china

[near nymph]

I could actually. But ya know... Don't exactly wanna get my butt dragged off to military service

Technically I can get it automatically by just filing some paperwork. My parents are both citizens

[crude jasper]

but fighting against the commies is based

[near nymph]

I'm happy with my Canadian passport.

[full fossil]

💀

[near nymph]

A EU passport would be nicer but eh?

[full fossil]

I got a UK and Lithuanian "EU" passport lol

[near nymph]

Lucky. Haha. Must be nice to pickup and be able to live almost anywhere in Europe

[past egret]

[pure olive]

does anyone wanna buy me a poweredge r720

[past egret]

no

[pure olive]

okay

[polar fern]

Need some food.

AI-based brain translator. interesting. we're really releasing the brakes on technology. perhaps soon enough it can be done in reverse and maybe fix blindness?
or we go to the dystopia route where everyone can live in the matrix.

[polar fern]

Can zen 2 run on a zen+ board without firmware update?

[pure olive]

shut up I'm trying to focus on servers

[graceful burrow]

Every time a new gen came out you had to update so you probably have to update it

Depending on when the board was bought it may have already come with the update

[low rain]

If it has a screen, the Lorax must be seen!

[graceful burrow]

It's genuinely a complete tossup without being able to see the bios revision

[neon mesa]

bhutan: there is no china

[polar fern]

I have a pro 560 chipset, so I’m not hopeful for bios that works.

AMD pro 560

[full fossil]

You'll need to update your life version to get food right now.

The latest version 11.29 is out now and has some minor bug fixes and a terms and conditions update

You may not decline the update.

[polar fern]

Sus

[wise tundra]

QUICK, name a "good" company!

[slim mirage]

hard to say

[wise tundra]

Let me rephase that: name a "not absolut garbage" company

[thin fjord]

framework?

[polar fern]

Good? There are many.

[slim mirage]

yeah like good in what sense ethical, enviromental, prices or just like overall?

[wise tundra]

overall

Yeah Framework could be it

[slim mirage]

greggs i guess

[wise tundra]

I don't know that one

[slim mirage]

well that is honestly a massive shame

yo i have socks from them

[novel tendon]

I love how ltt proved my point after the argument
Unless you are buying a 13900k, a cheap 50$ air cooler is more than enough

[vapid smelt]

nah you need a $100 aio

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/c4MTwP/arctic-liquid-freezer-ii-240-563-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00046a 😎

[crude jasper]

liquid freezer ii on top

[novel tendon]

I mean I'm buying AMD so......... 10$ air cooler is enough for me

[vapid smelt]

but with amd 7000x cpus they boost till you hit 95C so if you have weak cooling you will get lower clock speeds

[novel tendon]

Yes but 7600x can't boost much

I also will under volt it

And set it to 85°c tgmax

[crude jasper]

wdym cant boost much

it'll boost plenty

[novel tendon]

It already has high clock speeds

And because of 6 cores only it doesn't heat up much

Also my case has 4 fans

So I'm not worried

[vapid smelt]

116W still for only 6 cores

[crude jasper]

yeah but you should do 250W 5900x and hit 105c

[fallen cedar]

Well at least that's half the power consumption of my 6/12 cpu whilst giving It a royal ass spanking so there are some stonks

[vapid smelt]

8700k?

[fallen cedar]

Yeah it's ancient so makes sens

[wind pulsar]

A normal 7600 + PBO beats it anyway so oh well

[vapid smelt]

b650 boards are finally becoming affordable

[fervent prairie]

Custom loop or nothing

[slim mirage]

what's a decent desk for a clean setup my current desk was a birthday present years ago and it's very large and unstable I was thinking this from Ikea but what do you guys use?

[vapid smelt]

its filled with cardboard

[slim mirage]

the bamboo one damm?

[vapid smelt]

yup

[slim mirage]

i thought that one was the solid one as its like £50 more expensive compared to the ones that look like the cardboard filled ones

[vapid smelt]

flexispot has a solid wood bamboo top

[full fossil]

I remember writing this ages ago lol. Ugh, I need to update some of the info but yall can take a took if you want https://github.com/utabain/Archlinux_LUKS2_install_guide

[slim mirage]

oh wow they went to a lot of effort to make it look solid

[summer folio]

I wonder when I will finally hear an English speaker pronouncing even 1 Swedish Word right
Like Mullvad VPN, tea drinkers say; "Mullväd vpn"

[fallen cedar]

Apparently when I say jag vill do (yes I know the spelling isn't correct) in CSGO it's pretty convincing

[summer folio]

Oh, you're not saying the "a" as in "mad"? (ä in Swedish)

[fallen cedar]

No no, like joah

[crude jasper]

see if you can find a good workstation

they usually have 2" wooden slabs for a top, and its obvious that they won't break

[crude jasper]

thats not wood

[summer folio]

👍🏻

prob good enuff

[vapid smelt]

solid grass bamboo*

[crude jasper]

it's still v durable just not wood

[summer folio]

I pronounce the g tho kekw

[crude jasper]

$350 for 72x30?

[fallen cedar]

To be brutally honest a lot of them then spit in me for thinking I'm Norwegian 😄

[crude jasper]

my exact desk for $350.. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-Kobalt-72-in-Work-Table/5000045517

[fallen cedar]

So it's not even close to good, buy funny nonetheless

[small zephyr]

🤔 no one coincidently got an stl file for the corsair dark core pro rgb's scroll wheel?

[vapid smelt]

ngl that would be a sick desk

[novel tendon]

Yeah
I'm buying a gammax 200 v2 which cam handle it just fine

[summer folio]

Hahaha, what.
Right Right, danish sounds nothing alike.

[full fossil]

Just buy a solid wood table top from IKEA for like £80 then buy some table legs for like £40

[crude jasper]

yeah the little holes on the side let me mount an extension cord with it

[vapid smelt]

thats a sad looking cooler

[limpid fern]

hey coopa

[vapid smelt]

hi zip

[limpid fern]

do you knw the best gpu that a 500w psu can handle with a 5600x?

[novel tendon]

Yeah but only 10$

[vapid smelt]

probably a 300-350watt card

[novel tendon]

Or I can buy a wraith prism for like 5$

[crude jasper]

ikea does not sell wood

the ones that are wood, are equivalently priced and have badly shaped legs, or cost even more

[limpid fern]

yes ik but whats the best card in that range?

[full fossil]

They sell solid wood tabletops

[limpid fern]

3070? 4070?

[crude jasper]

link me one cause im not seeing it

[limpid fern]

the butcher block tables

[vapid smelt]

7900xtx

[crude jasper]

why is 3080 higher than 4080

[vapid smelt]

because it eats more power

[novel tendon]

Because it consumes more power

[full fossil]

Oh

Damn

[novel tendon]

Should I go with gammax 200 v2 or should I buy a wraith prism?

[full fossil]

Where can I get solid wood without breaking the bank then

[crude jasper]

yeah like 90% of what ikea sells, if i sat on it i would snap it in half

[novel tendon]

Ikea

[crude jasper]

again, its not wood

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q6H7YJ/thermalright-assassin-x-120-refined-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ax120-se-d3 i would get this

[full fossil]

They don't sell 100% wood tabletops

[crude jasper]

$200 minimum usually

[novel tendon]

How much does it cost?

[vapid smelt]

$19.89

[slim mirage]

they did with the weird remix thing but I can't find it people would combine the kitchen countertops with the table legs or drawers

[crude jasper]

still $180+ typically

[novel tendon]

Not available in my country

[slim mirage]

oh yeah its very expensive just for the top part

[limpid fern]

cheers ill probably recommend the 3080 because of pricing in my area thx

[vapid smelt]

what country

[crude jasper]

i'd rather just buy a well built $350 workstation that can support 1,500lbs and has good functionality

[novel tendon]

Iran

[slim mirage]

i mean if the desk can hold a vesa mounted monitor its probably gonna be strong enough for my situation

[crude jasper]

yeah but can it support two discord moderators

[full fossil]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[limpid fern]

suthafrica, we have a shortage of amd rn

[crude jasper]

no need to have it cut to size, it'll be cheaper from a hardware/lumber store

[slim mirage]

if it had 2 drawer desks it actually might maybe not the legs

[crude jasper]

the drawer units are made of particle board it wouldn't

[slim mirage]

yeah but its gonna make the top desk part flex less

[crude jasper]

the issue is the drawer units would literally collapse

it will not support two discord moderators

[full fossil]

I know of no hardware stores other than B&Q in the UK

[slim mirage]

i still think the table top would go first idk

[crude jasper]

https://houseofworktops.co.uk/wooden-worktops

2 meter minimum 620mm width minimum

[vapid smelt]

i have like 4 within a few miles of my place

[slim mirage]

that is massive

[crude jasper]

thats the size of my desk

[novel tendon]

Why are you all so obsessed with wood tho

[crude jasper]

well mines 2 meter by 635mm

[novel tendon]

Just use plastic

[crude jasper]

Cause i'd rather not have a crappy desk that collapses under any decent weight

[slim mirage]

im looking around 140cm by like 65cm

[crude jasper]

particleboard is also a material that your cat or dog will easily bite through

[novel tendon]

Strong plastic/metal desks exist

[formal plank]

Do u play Fortnite

[crude jasper]

no

[distant wren]

I like hard wood 🙂

[crude jasper]

the last metal desk i had i eventually dented by slamming my fist

[novel tendon]

Well good luck with payments

[fervent prairie]

60 width is nothing. Ive got 80 and I feel like I could need more. Monitors take up a lot of space

[vapid smelt]

my desk is 1.8 meters by 889mm

[distant wren]

what payments? 🤔

[crude jasper]

Payments? who the hell puts anything under $1,000 in payments

[novel tendon]

I mean with paying for a hard wood table

[distant wren]

oh it was only 200 bucks 2nd hand, in good shape.

[slim mirage]

im using 80cm width just now but my room isnt big enough for it

[crude jasper]

it's something you can use for the rest of your life, why should it matter

[novel tendon]

Yeah only

[formal plank]

Broke people

[vapid smelt]

it easy to make wood tables

[novel tendon]

my building my pc for 500$

[crude jasper]

idiotic people*

[distant wren]

Yeah, bought it from a office space which deals in 2nd handed office materials.

[novel tendon]

Um
Have you ever been on a budget?

[slim mirage]

marble table top desk

[crude jasper]

whats 350 divided by 80

[distant wren]

Yes, I budget myself monthly? 🤔
By paying myself first, and counting every penny?

[novel tendon]

4.375?

[crude jasper]

you are paying 4$ a year for a good quality desk that also looks good

[vapid smelt]

i spent $1,200 on a solid pine wood bedroom set

[summer folio]

LTT should only look at YouTube Chat when doing WAN Show

& Nothing else.

[novel tendon]

150$ average salary

[full fossil]

Phone contracts?

[distant wren]

Disagree, Floatplane gives them money , that is bad monetairy advice.

[crude jasper]

phone contracts it makes sense, anything else is idiotic

[novel tendon]

I'll change my name to idiot if you can afford to pay $350 with that salary

[vapid smelt]

you make $150 a year?

[distant wren]

150$ salary? 🤔 as in monthly?

[novel tendon]

I did a month

Before I got fired because they had too much employees

[crude jasper]

why are you trying to tell us, people who live in countries with respective average salaries of $54,000 and 38,000 pounds that $350 is expensive

[distant wren]

yeah but you must be very young like 16 - 19 years ish

[novel tendon]

21

[distant wren]

Well , are you still in college?

[novel tendon]

In university

[vapid smelt]

thats 9 hours of work for me

[novel tendon]

Exactly

[distant wren]

literally 3 hours work for me 🤔

[full fossil]

Graphics cards? Jk

[full fossil]

Jeez $50/h is very high lol

[vapid smelt]

buying a phone contract is very silly

[novel tendon]

Don't assume everyone has money and can afford stuff
I've been saving my money for 2 years to buy my first pc and I'm not there yet

[crude jasper]

not sure if its different in other countries but using your credit past a mortgage, car loan or 10% of your cc limit on groceries or gas is dumb

[novel tendon]

I'm like 200$ short still
But I have 500$

[distant wren]

oh wait, if thats the rate you go buy I was going by the 340 $ lol not the 150

😅

[crude jasper]

my dad makes $65 an hour.. i make $16

[full fossil]

You make $115/h lol wtf

Good on you ig

[distant wren]

well more like 85$ could be 115$ 🤔 have to calc

[crude jasper]

realistically i could make $25 an hour if i wanted to but that job was so scuffed, i was pretty much the only person in the restaurant who could speak english

[novel tendon]

Where you live bro?

[distant wren]

NL, I work in programming 🙂

[novel tendon]

Damn

[distant wren]

Still no idea what I do when I program , but they seem happy with what im doing.

[crude jasper]

programming jobs are great cause you can make whatever the wage is whereever you have internet

[novel tendon]

I'm a graphic designer lol xD

[distant wren]

I just help on #1027757333117415424 sometimes for fun 🙂 to help people with issues.

[novel tendon]

But because I live in Middle East nobody wants me in their project xD

[full fossil]

How many years of experience do you have?

10, 20?

[distant wren]

Yes, as in , no clue? somewhat 6-8 years

[vapid smelt]

i sit and watch movies/play on my steam deck 80% of the time at my work

[crude jasper]

you overestimate how much experience you need for it, just have enough hours with the language and you can job hop from place to place making 6 figures a year consistently

[novel tendon]

I wish I had that luxury xD

[full fossil]

Where do you live? In the UK you'd be lucky if you make over 50k after that many years of experience in programming

[distant wren]

Depends on the language , depends on the job and people, depends no how much you can convince others you are worth.

[crude jasper]

the only time i find that shit annoying is when the company is owned by their parent, somebody i used to be friends with would just sit on his phone for 90% of the day while everyone else was working and he was able to do that because his father owned the place

[distant wren]

Its like being Colton, you gotta prove you are amazing, by being somewhat good at your job 🙂
shoutout to Colton: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/137vb9a/colton_appreciation_post_you_cant_fire_colton_if/

[novel tendon]

I mean
It's his dad's company, he can do whatever he wants as long as his dad is happy ig

[vapid smelt]

i work at a warehouse and load customers vehicles, so if we have no customers we get to do nothing

[novel tendon]

With 80% of the time not having work...... How is the company profitable?

[vapid smelt]

we sell over priced furniture

[novel tendon]

Ah yes

Makes sense now xD

[distant wren]

easy leases, for probable space to keep their inventory

They do not have to have actual storage if its just a warehouse.

[crude jasper]

sure its his dads company, but he has never understood the value of hard work and judges other people for things he shouldn't be

[novel tendon]

Btw
How can I earn money online?
Going to work irl has so little salary

[crude jasper]

when you don't have to work for your reward, you don't develop well

[distant wren]

Fiver?

[crude jasper]

commissions

[novel tendon]

Can't
I need someplace that pays in crypto

[vapid smelt]

could i interest you in a $1,400 nightstand?

[distant wren]

why so shady?

[novel tendon]

I live in Middle East
In Middle East, thanks to USA, every bank think we are terrorists

[crude jasper]

yeah there's no way i would ever pay $1,399 for that ugly thing, the only way it would even look good is if you stained it darker

[distant wren]

ever considered a paypal account?

[novel tendon]

So only way to receive money is crypto

[crude jasper]

im not paying $1,400 for something i have to stain myself just ot make it look good

[novel tendon]

Can't
USA sanctions

[distant wren]

Ever considered moving out from where you are ? 🤔

[vapid smelt]

HEY our other natos allies too its not just us

[novel tendon]

Can't
USA sanctions

[full fossil]

I'm 15 and am weighing my options as with 3 alevels and a degree in computer science I can be expected to earn about £27,000 before taxes coming out of university. The issue is that isn't even enough for a decent 1 bedroom flat

[distant wren]

Thats not correct

[crude jasper]

Where do you live for that to be sanctioned? afghanistan?

[novel tendon]

Yes it is
I have to have a work pass or a student pass to move to EU or us

[novel tendon]

Iran

[distant wren]

why move to those locations ? 🤔 ever considered somewhere else?

[novel tendon]

Like what? China? Russia? Or India?

[distant wren]

Yes , anything or start your own business on the side?

[crude jasper]

You can move to america as an iranian

[distant wren]

making business cards , and just ask local people if they need work?

[full fossil]

Are you going to answer my question?

[novel tendon]

Nope
Law forces that I have a work or a student pass

[novel tendon]

They pay like 100$ a month

Even less

[vapid smelt]

idk

[near nymph]

Which middle east country? KSA seems pretty fine

[full fossil]

Hearing that it's possible to earn $85/h with 6-8 years of experience is just mad to me when I know people in this profession that live here in the UK and earn far less than that

[distant wren]

Well go online and make your own business? 🤔 do something related to youtube or start your own tutorial website on the web explaining how to be a graphic designer? If you cannot make money making designs , you have to expand and look for more oppurtunitys

[vapid smelt]

iran

[crude jasper]

you can, the process is just different

[novel tendon]

Yeah after USA quit the nuclear agreement with Iran and 5+1 followed us
Iran just hates west so much

[full fossil]

Do US companies just pay alot more?

[crude jasper]

https://ir.usembassy.gov/visas/faqs/

[full fossil]

And then why?

[crude jasper]

Yes, since we are the economy capital of the world

[near nymph]

Oh... Bro my friends and business partner are Iranian. It's not hard to bring someone to Canada.

[full fossil]

Surely that isn't the only reason

[distant wren]

Yes , they do ! but you also have to pay more , just imagine paying 4000$ a month just to live in your house

[crude jasper]

it is. most of the largest and most wealthy companies are headquartered in the USA

[novel tendon]

Yes
But bro
I have like 500$
That's not enough to even pay for the flight

[vapid smelt]

the US should invite the top iran officials for a dinner party, food always makes friendships

[crude jasper]

iran's government is fucking itself right now

[novel tendon]

Nah
I'd rather not be friends with US
They destroyed every country in Middle East

[distant wren]

Everything is relative 🤷‍♂️ .

[near nymph]

Then save up. If you want something you gotta work towards it

[novel tendon]

Idk about that
They just signed a strong deal with China Russia and Saudi Arabia

[crude jasper]

you can't blame it on just us

[unkempt widget]

is it concerning that my cpu randomly hits 85C and goes back down while doing light tasks

[full fossil]

If I wanted to do university in the US how would I survive? I've been thinking about this for a while as I really want a change of scenery

[novel tendon]

Um...... But it was only the us tho.....

[crude jasper]

Saddam hussein? bashar? the soviets in the 80s?

[unkempt widget]

what's tech chat 1

[vapid smelt]

Turkey is fine right?

[distant wren]

a chat for tech related topics, we just talk random things here 🙂 .

[near nymph]

I know Iranians that spend every single penny left to make a life in another country. It's hard but possible. Heads up. If you really want it. Go and get it @novel tendon don't make fucking excuses.

[novel tendon]

Yeah about that
None of those attacked weak countries my bro

[unkempt widget]

please remind me what the heading for public chat is

[distant wren]

Yeah but I can direct you to other chats and you have a more pleasant experience over there.

[full fossil]

How do university students survive away from home? How much do internships and low qualification jobs pay in the US?

[novel tendon]

Yeah
Saying it is so easy
But doing it is hard

[crude jasper]

if saddam was left to do his bidding he would have conquered all of the southern middle east

[near nymph]

I never said it's easy.

[vapid smelt]

you can be paid nothing for a internship

[novel tendon]

Um yeah
Same thing applies to every single dictator?

[distant wren]

by making new friends and people? 🤔

[novel tendon]

You are just saying middle East had a dictator

[full fossil]

I know that's a thing but are there paid internships?

[crude jasper]

So should the USA not have helped kuwait?

[vapid smelt]

very low paying ones sure

[full fossil]

WDYM?

[novel tendon]

I mean they should
But then after that making thousands of military bases in Middle East and getting into every single country wasn't the right move

[full fossil]

Do part-time internships count towards experience?

[distant wren]

you asked how to survive, by having other people who also do the same, there are allot of foreign students in NL , chinese, indian , we got Afghanistan people who are rocket scientist in NL.

[distant wren]

Oh, this definitly helps 🙂

[full fossil]

What does NL stand for?

[distant wren]

NetherLands.

[crude jasper]

Having military bases in most of the worlds countries is the right move, but yeah america continuing to terrorize the middle east wasn't good.

[vapid smelt]

yall just shoulve kept your oil a secret

[distant wren]

They want to make money so no ? 🤔 its all about money in the end with oil.

[novel tendon]

Like...... Iran was in USA's side
Then trump came and said "fuck you" and every agreement and deal was gone

[crude jasper]

yeah cause he wanted to pull out of the middle east entirely

[novel tendon]

Nah
He just didn't want to help it

They didn't pull out even a tiny bit

[crude jasper]

so basically he wanted to pull out of the middle east

[novel tendon]

Yeah but he didn't

[crude jasper]

if he was reelected he would have pulled out the same time biden did, your point?

you cant just instantly take out all that equipment and stationed troops

[novel tendon]

No you don't get my point
USA is still in Middle East

Just under other flags

[near nymph]

What other flag?

[distant wren]

you mean NATO flags? 🤔 European flags?

[novel tendon]

And they don't want to pull out
Because their whole business is just selling weapons and scaring people to buy them

[novel tendon]

Isreal
Azerbaijan
Many many more

[crude jasper]

trump wanted to pull out, trump is no longer president

you're acting as if im talking about biden

[novel tendon]

I'm telling that he was lying

I live in Middle East
I've seen no difference between Obama and trump when it comes to us military activities

In many cases
Obama was better even!

[crude jasper]

Obama was the first nobel peace prize winner to bomb another nobel peace prize winner

[novel tendon]

At least Obama didn't activity murder our generals

[crude jasper]

Obama dropped the most bombs

[summer folio]

Obama even won the Nobel Peace Prize

[novel tendon]

Yes
But I'm talking in like military activities

When war is declared
Then nothing can hold you back

[crude jasper]

? that is military activities ??

[near nymph]

Israel is a ding dong. They don't even know what they want.
Also
No way 😂 Azerbaijan isn't rly the middle east.

[novel tendon]

No like.......
I mean outside of wars

[novel tendon]

Um...... How?

[near nymph]

Azerbaijan isn't the middle east. It was previously in the Soviet Union 😂

[novel tendon]

Um....... Yes..... But you know...... Half of turkey is still in Middle East....... How can Azerbaijan not be in Middle East

[crude jasper]

thats debatable

[novel tendon]

Also
Don't believe any media source
Everyone is biased
Don't believe it until you have seen it with your own eyes

[distant wren]

easy its eastern europe / Western Asia 🤷‍♂️ continental wise.

[crude jasper]

azerbaijan/georgia/armenia has been a claim of middle eastern countries for a really long time

[crude jasper]

western asia, eastern europe stops at russia/ukraine/turkey

[novel tendon]

Yes

Then after Afghanistan is Asia

Ugh man..... I hope I don't get banned because I talked politics.....

[distant wren]

Well depending on the standard of where is which, depending on the geographical conventions.

[novel tendon]

I forgot again.....

[crude jasper]

it wasnt getting heated so you wont

[novel tendon]

:((((
I always forget

[crude jasper]

if you wanna go that far, technically europe isn't a thing

its eurasia

[novel tendon]

HEY
Don't add EU to asia

🤷‍♂️ well depends on the definitions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundaries_between_the_continents this one says it issn't if going by the geographical conventions

[novel tendon]

Asian countries >>>>>>>>>>>> EU countries

[crude jasper]

physiographically its eurasia, not europe

[distant wren]

its all about definitions 😄 once we know those, we can argue.

[novel tendon]

Yes
But we don't want EU added to Asia

[crude jasper]

yeah physiographically

[mild elm]

uhh

bold claim

[novel tendon]

You can't compete with japan even

[distant wren]

thats biased. and subjective and an incomplete statement. please stop?

[mild elm]

huh?

[novel tendon]

🥲 okay

[crude jasper]

the only relevant asian countries in the world order are russia, japan, china, korea(s), indonesia, india and maybe UAE/israel

[mild elm]

you just put the second most developed country in asia

wb indonesia, bangladesh, myanmmar

[novel tendon]

No I meant like culture wise

[crude jasper]

indonesia is only on my list because of their economic value

[novel tendon]

And Iran

[crude jasper]

iran has a gdp 6x less that of indonesia

Air coolers honestly 10x better than water coolers or AIOS

[novel tendon]

So yeah
Should I buy a Gammaxx 200 v2 or a wraith prism for my 7600x

[novel tendon]

BASED

[mild elm]

just get a 7600 non x and boom free cooler

[crystal pike]

wraith cuz looks better

[novel tendon]

Not available

[novel tendon]

Also wraith stealth is kinda bad

[crystal pike]

Hmm

[summer folio]

imagine buying a stock cooler

[novel tendon]

For 5$

[crystal pike]

Money/0 hour work time = infinity hourly pay

[summer folio]

Someones message got deleted, or deleted themself so I'ma just ping you;
In Sweden everyones salary is public information, so you would already know what kinda pay your coworkers have when applying.

[novel tendon]

But why

I mean if fair pay is not a thing it's useful

But like....... Laws force them to pay fairly right?

[summer folio]

State should be transparent = State Information is transparent, & state is handling everyones taxxes = You can look up everyones taxxes

Then another time it just tells me who it picked straight out of the gate, so I asked it not to do that but there is no middle ground.

[crystal pike]

idk i thought itwas meant to be used with ultrabooks

So there would be no need for a charger

[manic torrent]

.... The point is you can use it with anything. I have absolutely boatloads of USB c stuff.

I can plug my laptop charger into my phone... Or my soldering iron.

[crystal pike]

Can i use it to connect peripherals?

[manic torrent]

It depends how it's setup, and your phone and blah blah blah.

[wary summit]

I can plug my 240w usb c into my phone and it charges it at 120w

[manic torrent]

Wtf phone charges at 120w

[wary summit]

i have multiple, but the 120w is the Mi 10 Ultra

Mi 11 Ultra went back to 67w, but it was 67w wireless

[manic torrent]

Ah yeah I think I remember that one. That's insane.

[wary summit]

bro, they have 210w now

i saw it in store, i went to the toilet and it went from 9% to 49% while i was gone

[manic torrent]

Goddamn

[wary summit]

and they're pushing 300w this year

was it 300, or 310

can't remember

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's cool, it just would make no difference to me at all.

[wary summit]

yea, i'd say 60w is decent

i just wish my phone was cooler

The snapdragon 888 is way too hot, fast charging don't help

[manic torrent]

Yeah 60w is still a lot of power. My laptop only has a 54w charger!

[wary summit]

also my mi 11 ultra is technically illegal

Because regulation says 50w max wireless charging

[summer folio]

Nice, so you can power both your monitor & your laptop with your phone charger?

[wary summit]

monitor? no

Only my laptop on 240...

[median escarp]

have you seen the snapdragon 810?

this is literally my case

they are basocally rare

not everyone here has a pc since they can use a mobile for most their needs

They are also being sold on Aliexpress

[median escarp]

unless youre going to the capital which is at least 1800Km or 2300 Mph

[median escarp]

they dont have cash on delivery and it is hard to get an internet debit card for online transactions

so you either get a console or an overpriced build

the RTX 3060 costs here 900$

can you fix it?

No

[wispy marsh]

Yes you can!

[hearty spear]

Nope, you can't.
The 12V outlets don't have enough power output, and you're not allowed to carry enough battery onto a plane to run it usefully.
So, no, you can't play an xbox on the plane.

Holy shit though

This hurts so much

you're not allowed to carry enough battery with that attitude

I’m prolly gonna get my boot from my garage and then go to the doctor

you're only allowed one or two batteries not in a device.

I forget the exact rule

Two very small spare batteries, with a lithium content of 2 grams or less

and how long will a 99wh battery run an xbox and a screen?

https://www.intehill.com/blogs/portable-monitor/everything-about-portable-monitors
apparently it only consumes 10-15w

[hearty spear]

so you're up to 90w. So about an hour, at most, on a single charge?

meaning: Bring a steam deck (or the new asus)

[unkempt widget]

an hour

if you bring two batteries with you, that'll be two hours

if you bring two other people who bring two batteries, that'll be 6 hours

[wispy marsh]

If you bring two batteries with you, and you bring two other people who bring two batteries with their own monitors, that'll be two hours

Rx580s were going for like $800

exactly why they're now cheaper than nvidia cards
the miners flooded the market with radeon cards

[median escarp]

yeah because it was cheaper then

then they inflated it

to the point that people automatically assume every polaris card is an ex-miner

but polaris miner cards are in rough shapes

they coulda made radeon cards but nope.

[neon mesa]

did UFD tech test polaris cards

[median idol]

No joke I got my 3090 for cheaper than what the 6900XTs were going for..... And this was from Micro Center

[neon mesa]

and if you got RTX 2000 cards that were used for mining, you got a chance of getting dead VRAM down the line

as turing is especially vulnerable with VRAM conditions

nvidia's design flaw and using them for mining worsen it

now RDNA 3 is inside Ryzen chips and beating the shit out of what intel is doing.

[neon mesa]

GPUs back then are very different from now, calling arc their first shot is fair

i mean back then they're not even called GPU, accelerators, they do less jobs than modern GPUs do

[dreamy rose]

i still wouldnt. its their 3rd time

[vernal vessel]

?
your seriously counting i740/Larabee?

[dreamy rose]

nobody purchased the first. second never made it to market and now Arc is here.

[full fossil]

Eh
It was really a video output in those times
Modern gpus aren’t comparable

[vernal vessel]

i740,someone already explained that.
larabee was a many-core x86 cpu parading as a gpu

[full fossil]

If we’re giving intel credit they did change the graphics world forever with their integrated solutions

[dreamy rose]

they could game still. it was a 3D Card.

it was just Mediocre,

i mean it was 1998. the GeForce 256 was just around the corner.

[full fossil]

It likely failed due to that AGP connection

Ah yea 8mb vram and basically used exclusively as a frame buffer
That’ll do it

[pliant sphinx]

Sorry, didn't reply.

Mainly games like Zelda are running good because of their first party optimization. It sucks for anything else though, especially 3rd party games. They should drop the price of the Switch but seeing what kind of company Nintendo is that is not happening.

[full fossil]

Explains why they have a stupid amount of vram now

[dreamy rose]

16 isnt stupid its basic.

Nvidia just thinks 8 is ok because of DLSS and Frame gen.

[pliant sphinx]

Skywalker Saga is especially CPU bound. dGPUs don't really make that much of a difference from decent iGPUs in that game, maybe 1% lows.

Also, if you were playing early, the game had some technical issues iirc

[dreamy rose]

what game doesnt at this point?

[pliant sphinx]

It was nowhere to the recent releases though

[dreamy rose]

its a 2022 game. games got into this shit before 2022 rolled around.

[pliant sphinx]

I mean, Skywalker saga in particular

[dreamy rose]

this game is nothing special. its one in a long line of "Release now. fix later" titles

[pliant sphinx]

I have no problems with games having minor issues on day 1. It's natural that devs could miss something.

But, situations like Jedi Survivor are unjustifiable

[dreamy rose]

pretty much any game released after 2020

[full fossil]

Pandemic did a number on everything so I kinda understand

I don’t understand releasing it in a bad state, but I do understand it needed more time and shareholders are greedy

[pliant sphinx]

That's why I'm not buying day 1.

[dreamy rose]

using up 8GB of VRAM is fine. anything added onto that is just garbage.

[pliant sphinx]

Depends on the settings, since changing presets can actually change texture resolution -> More VRAM required

[full fossil]

Minimum settings should not be using 8gb of vram let’s be real

Especially not on a game that doesn’t look that great

[dreamy rose]

people really love to bitch about 8GB of VRAM being good enough for 1080P high and not getting it. i have no Sympathy for these people they got sucked into buying a shit card,

[pliant sphinx]

Jedi Survivor is just unoptimized
End of discussion

[full fossil]

Horribly so

[pliant sphinx]

The game kinda revived the VRAM question lol

[full fossil]

I expected TLOU to be a mess, no Sony port is good at launch
This is the way of the port

[dreamy rose]

they were warned that 8GB wasnt enough a year or two ago. they didnt listen. now its the time for the crying.

[pliant sphinx]

Sony is shit in general when it comes to caring about their customers

[full fossil]

Look point is if a game isn’t optimized to at minimum run on the most popular cards it’s a bad optimization

[pliant sphinx]

The devs with 40GB VRAM cards;

"I don't see any problem"

[full fossil]

1650 and 1060 are the most popular cards by a HUGE percentage

[dreamy rose]

their console venture only started because they wanted to be greedy with Nintendo. they never gave a fuck about the consumers and their "For the players" marketing was always bullshit.

[pliant sphinx]

Now it's the 3060

[full fossil]

And if it can’t run at 720p minimum? Lmao

https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

[dreamy rose]

no. 1650

[full fossil]

I just went off the steamsurvey tbh

Which isn’t 100% accurate but it’s easy to access

[pliant sphinx]

Not only that, but once you purchase games in Sony ecosystem, you are trapped.

Or with Nintendo also, yes.

[dreamy rose]

its pretty accurate considering that majority literally use steam to game.

[full fossil]

Not everyone reports, I certainly don’t

[pliant sphinx]

Xbox by far has the best attitude towards PC players
Why can't playstation optimize PS5 controller for PC

[wispy marsh]

If you have a wireless controller, make sure it's switched on before you click on the steam survey, or else it won't count

[dreamy rose]

its the only survey that matters when it comes to discussion about games.

[wispy marsh]

Because Sony doesn't own a desktop operating system

[dreamy rose]

yes. but where else are you gonna find trustworthy numbers?

[pliant sphinx]

No one is prohibiting them to make PS Plus cross platform

[long briar]

uhm...?

[full fossil]

Exactly

[dreamy rose]

they let you stream PS3 on PC. thats all.

[wispy marsh]

Actually, there is. They don't want to spend the effort to develop OSes in a space where there are already at least major competitors

[pliant sphinx]

They could make a Sony Launcher or something, use your PS Plus there and play their exclusive games or something. No. No effort at all

[dreamy rose]

so its only SHS that matters now.

[long briar]

????

[pliant sphinx]

You don't need to develop an OS for it?

[dreamy rose]

we dont need launchers. we need ONE place to play ALL games.

[pliant sphinx]

Steam

Oooo you mean console even?

[full fossil]

Monopoly moment

[wispy marsh]

They sure as hell aren't going to put the effort to put access to their games on competitors' OS either

[pliant sphinx]

Then why are they publishing games to Steam?

[dreamy rose]

yeah. no EGS. no EA, no Riot. no RGS. none of that bullshit. its what pisses me off about PC Gaming. why do i need this bloatware shit to run a game i purchased through an actual good platform

[wispy marsh]

Are those games or do those games used to be platform exclusives?

[pliant sphinx]

They are just a bunch of whining idiots who can't get over Activision acquisition

[pliant sphinx]

They publish games like GoW, etc. new titles.

[full fossil]

Isn’t the activision acquisition dead? I thought the EU put a hard no to it

[pliant sphinx]

No, the UK did. The EU seems to approve them as far as things go

[wispy marsh]

These are not platform exclusives. They were already slated to launch on both the PS and PC

[dreamy rose]

the UK don't care about fixing up a company they only care about "Cloud Gaming" which is highly fucking irrelevant anyway. these people dont know shit about gaming. this is why we need a petition to make whiny government people play videogames.

[neon mesa]

on one hand we want convenient game launching, the other hand, monopoly is bad
it's like streaming, competition is good but right now it's making streaming as pricy as cable

[wispy marsh]

Companies don't want us to access front-end apis from anywhere other than their launcher because they can't track us otherwise

[pliant sphinx]

And if MS didn't buy them, Tencent would probably. I would rather for MS to own them tbh

[wispy marsh]

You can have a single launcher hooking onto apis for account login, but nooooooooo, we must use their launcher

[dreamy rose]

Valve having the one launcher you ever need is a good thing. it does nothing but infuriate everyone when you have another piece of shit slowing your game down and possibly forcing you out of your game entirely.

[wispy marsh]

I've uninstalled origin, ubiplay and egs just because

[dreamy rose]

take GTA4 for example. cant play that offline!

[wispy marsh]

And I can afford to pay for games on the Steam store

The only time I reinstalled EGS was because of Remnant, and that game sucked so harshly on the controller I just gave it up completely

[dreamy rose]

they wouldn't kill off cross platform releases either. but no. Sony is a whiny bitch. and likes to complain when someone tries to fix things for once.

[wispy marsh]

They're only whining because they can't have the entire pie

It's Japanese culture at this point

[pliant sphinx]

And when Sony is buying studios, no one cares

[dreamy rose]

which is why they made PlayStation instead of a CD Accessory for the SNES.

[wispy marsh]

To be fair, they're both whiny Japanese companies

[dreamy rose]

srsly the only reason they are here is because of greed. they have no place here anymore.

[wispy marsh]

That's the only thing I've seen them do in a while

[pliant sphinx]

Sony will still be here since they locked a good portion of the market in their ecosystem, like Nintendo

[dreamy rose]

yeah. but at least nintendo knows what they are doing. Sony just hates their guts and wants to be nintendo.

[halcyon pier]

Lots of adorable opinions in here today.

[pliant sphinx]

Charging full price for underpowered Switch is just

[dreamy rose]

why would they be adding more vibration. Speakers, touchpad and a microphone to a controller if they weren't failing miserably to be Nintendo?

[dreamy rose]

at this point the Tegra is dead and they have probably just bulk ordered however many to get them to the next gen.

they've probably decided to try outsell the PS2 at this point.

and good. i want that Glorified DVD Player dethroned.

[neon mesa]

one of the best console of all times
provided cheap DVD player for many
revolutionary console, powerful at their time
dethroned by
overpriced tablet with near decade old processor

the only thing switch has going is the exclusives

[dreamy rose]

it didn't sell as a console. it sold as a DVD Player. when you sell 155 million units but your best selling game is only at 15 million it becomes painfully obvious at that point.

the Switch has sold as a console.

its around 122-124 million units. best selling game is at 60.

[pseudo mesa]

Why would I need anything more than wii sports?

[dreamy rose]

tbh switch sports sucks.

why did they have to fuck it up with fugly ass simple characters? Wii sports was perfect until this happened.

just, your Mii. playing sports, training. having fun. but now theres Villager. and then Miis take a backseat.

[stoic beacon]

Does Riley daily drive a Pixel? I enjoyed his jab at them in Tech Linked

My Pixel and Pixel Buds Pro have so many hardware issues

[median dune]

pretty sure it's NOT an iPhone ... lol

[stoic beacon]

I never remember what the LTT staff uses, except for Linus and Luke, because Linus talks about his Fold a lot, and Luke talks about his Pixel a lot, but that's just on WAN show

[stiff sand]

what are some good games you don't need a gpu for im asking for a friend

[full fossil]

there are none

buy a 70 bucks gpu and there u go

[median dune]

I watch those side LTT shows mostly myself ... he digs on PIxel quite a bit lol

[stoic beacon]

I'm....becoming less impressed by the day. The camera and OS are the last redeeming features for me, as I sit and watch the hardware fall to pieces

[median dune]

that kind of hate can only be from using it

I'm still looking for a good 5G phone

still stuck on 4G LTE

[winged yarrow]

pixel works great for me

haven't had any issues

[median dune]

friend of mine does Uber/Lyft ... I forget which one he has but the Pixel gives him fits

[winged yarrow]

huh

[full fossil]

Buddy of mine had a pixel, moved to an iphone after 10 years of android after that

[median dune]

I've never used apple anything

[winged yarrow]

I have a real hard time considering iPhone

I almost got one but backed out because it just didn't seem worth it

[full fossil]

If you just want a phone to do the basics and just work, it’s worth it

If you like to tinker and customize? Avoid.

[winged yarrow]

yeah exactly

but also I find some of the troubleshooting steps to be a bit wonk

[full fossil]

You’re not wrong
Itunes on windows is absolute literal useless dogshit

[winged yarrow]

It's probably just bias by usage but android seems to have a better flow when it comes to finding and modifying settings

[median dune]

well have to say my GF has iPhone iPad iMac iStore etc ... everything works for her

[winged yarrow]

I don't like going to the settings app and scrolling to find the app and then seeing that the setting I came for doesn't even exist

[full fossil]

Wtf is iStore

[winged yarrow]

Or why tf I can't just clear out an app's data

[median dune]

well lol w/e the music tv show thing is

Apple +?

[winged yarrow]

If you have a full apple ecosystem, everything works in unison really well

[slim mirage]

if you want decent battery life and performance for a long number of years just go iPhone

[median dune]

yea she has a few issues now & then ... but mostly everything works for her

I like Apple TV
