decent battery

Tell that to every employee at my company that turns in their phone because the battery dies in two hours lol

It's not really a constant imo

[slim mirage]

what phone?

[winged yarrow]

Between iPhone 7 I think, SE and iPhone 12

[slim mirage]

i remember the 7 having a crap battery and i would expect the same from both se model but with the 13 and 14 im almost jealous at how good the battery is

[long briar]

Se is bad for battery yes

[full fossil]

The 12 battery was awful
13 mini has better screen on time than the regular 12 did

[long briar]

I'd also avoid 12 given 5g modem was inefficient

[winged yarrow]

@stoic beacon Are you pointing up bc you agree with the flow comment or the bias comment

[slim mirage]

they even got the mini models to have a decent battery 💀 stinky apple people

[long briar]

I love iPhone because they just work

[full fossil]

I like my mini because small phones are ignored

[long briar]

But I need android... the compromise? just carry both

[slim mirage]

then you need to 2 sim plans for it to be actually worth doing

[long briar]

my sim is in my iPhone, but most of my apps are on Android

no?

[stoic beacon]

I didn't up until the 6 and 7 came out...6 had really poor cell connection, so they RMAed it for me, and then the camera went black on me, supposedly from a cable issue.

So I got a 6a, which had the same cell connection issues, and they wouldn't RMA it. S

o I got a 7 with Pixel Buds Pro, and now the Pixel Buds disconnect during phone calls (not during music, just phone calls), and the camera glass on the back shattered in a perfect circle about 2 weeks ago, which I'm still waiting back to hear if they'll fix.

I really REALLY like the OS and the camera, compared to Samsung. But holy hell...

[winged yarrow]

I have no need for both an iPhone and an Android. If there's ever something I need an iPhone for I should be able to just run the simulator

[long briar]

iMessage is actually kinda great

[stoic beacon]

The flow comment, Androids settings and operating system are so much more well designed

[slim mirage]

yes you could have one mobile hotspot connected to the other but that just drains one phone and then one phone is always dependent on the other for signal

[full fossil]

Get a sony phone

[stoic beacon]

Too bad I can't use it on my computer...

[long briar]

Unfortunately I'm still on the younger side (Yes I can drink) but the market share of my age group is like iPhone majority

[winged yarrow]

Except for apple user gatekeepers from the intentional works of apple to differentiate their products putting people beneath them for having a green message or whatever tf

[slim mirage]

has someone found a way to use like a smart watch e sim on another phone so its like £3 extra a month on your plan and you can accept phone calls on both phones

[stoic beacon]

So is my friend circl, I just choose not to care about iMessage restrictions

[long briar]

with iMessage I can send videos without worrying about size limits (hi discord)

[full fossil]

It’s not our fault SMS is crap still

[long briar]

And sms is yea, garbage.

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, but RCS is great

[full fossil]

Plus, people outside the usa don’t even use sms

[slim mirage]

whatsapp and messenger both allow this as far as im aware?

[long briar]

mms is scuffed and doesn't work half the time

[winged yarrow]

Weird and shame about the pixel buds, I've got a 7 Pro, but instead of getting the pixel buds I got the samsung pro buds 2 or whatever which work great. No issues with camera/hardware at all and I have it in a dbrand case

[long briar]

WhatsApp compresses video to crap, messenger I don't trust

[slim mirage]

good point tbf

[tardy terrace]

RCS is so much better

[stoic beacon]

I should have gotten the Samsung ones honestly. I fell for the ShortCircuit review of it

[full fossil]

Yea from my experience, most people outside the usa use whatsapp and messenger (facebook bullshit.)

[echo canopy]

messenger randomly compresses images. Its been a nightmare for me

[slim mirage]

samsung had a weird solution where you upload the file to a link and i think it deletes from their servers after its downloaded but it was like a 15gb limit

[winged yarrow]

I use messenger for group chat with my family

[pliant sphinx]

I can't believe the Switch is still selling at it's price without any discount
Ridiculous

[long briar]

issue with this is the same as Firefox send

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, everyone I know tries to keep their stuff as platform agnostic as possible. Don't have to worry about iMessage's read receipts and emoji wars with Whatsapp and Signal

[long briar]

if they moderate what goes through their system, theyd get screwed for essentially looking at private things

[slim mirage]

people out here still using that browser

[long briar]

If they don't, it can be used for illegal file sharing and Firefox (or any private file sharing company) would also be sued for providing a service

[echo canopy]

im on firefox rn tf do yo mean

actually ima go build firefox nightly rn

[slim mirage]

any particular reason for it though?

[long briar]

Firefox send isn't a browser, it was an encrypted file sharing service

[winged yarrow]

SMS is definitely a bit crappy, but that's just the protocol. We could be using any protocol/platform in general based on what works well. All of the features that companies use to differentiate from any other software (cough iMessage cough) are available anywhere, but because of the culture around it, it makes it seem like some kind of special exclusive thing.

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, Firefox is the only option I consider, given it's the only one with fully functional mobile sync. Edge is for Bingchat and faster browsing, but otherwise, Firefox wins

[tulip river]

opera gx gang

[slim mirage]

i know i was talking about firefox in general

[fallen cedar]

firefox is good cuz it doesnt do content drm

[long briar]

After the opera predatory loans thing I'm never using it again

[slim mirage]

sitting at my gaming desk with my gaming chair on my gaming laptop with my gaming browser

[winged yarrow]

Mozilla is still one of the leaders in ECMA standardization, so I mean using Firefox isn't bad. I mainly use chromium based browsers though

[echo canopy]

It’s the fastest browser on Linux

[stoic beacon]

Better sync, better privacy, better user interface, better customization, better community, better opportunity for custom additions due to open source

[tulip river]

idc what your opinions are i can make my £9 microsoft keyboard sound like the loudest gaming keyboard ever

imagine ur mechanical keyboard noise was ran through an amp and 4 speakers

[long briar]

eh you can build chromium it be much faster

[tulip river]

thats the opera way

[stoic beacon]

The only thing Chrome and Edge have on FF is webpage loading speed, and it's a difference of half a second at the most anyways. Pointless win

[slim mirage]

subjective about the better UI but i think it looks nicer in the newest versions ive seen

[long briar]

Solenoid keyboard :

[stoic beacon]

Well, beyond just the visuals, the user experience design of the settings menu and hotkeys are very nice

[tulip river]

what u sayin bout my keyboard

[echo canopy]

Firefox is faster on on Wayland.
I’m not counting JavaScript speed because I disable it most of the time

[tulip river]

it bends like spaghetti

[long briar]

I use edge because it's the best on battery life, and then can sync across devices

[full fossil]

You mean chromium?

[pliant sphinx]

I like how anybody who has a Google acc cares about privacy

[pseudo mesa]

wet spaghetti or dry spaghetti

[long briar]

you trust meta over google?

[full fossil]

hell no

[stoic beacon]

I trust both over Apple. Hot take.

[pliant sphinx]

No, I don't, but it's weird, isn't it?

[long briar]

That's the thing. it's a matter of who

[pseudo mesa]

?
Google is extremely trustworthy with your data.

[long briar]

google while not the best company for privacy is also not as sketchy as meta

[pseudo mesa]

Guys, if they sold your data, they wouldn't be in business.

[stoic beacon]

That is specifically WHY they are in business still.

[long briar]

that's quite the opposite

[echo canopy]

Chromium’s (because that’s what both are) V8 JavaScript engine is a FAIR bit better then Firefox, that’s why some websites load faster on it.

Firefox has a faster HTML renderer

[full fossil]

Meta is a straight up data mafia at this point

[slim mirage]

fair enough lmao you have reasons most people I see using it just seem to be stubborn about it like they don't prefer it but are too stubborn to change. I do think the browser has better privacy and probably a lot more reasons but I just always had a bad experience with it when I tried using it in the past if i was to de-google my self i would probably use it then but i don't plan on doing that for now

[pseudo mesa]

They don't sell your data

[long briar]

most major tech companies are data companies.

the biggest way to make money is by selling data

[pliant sphinx]

Why does EU fine Google continuously then

[full fossil]

How do you think personalized ads work

[pseudo mesa]

Not for selling data.

[stoic beacon]

For me, it's not really about the privacy, it's specifically about the mobile sync. I can see what tabs I have open on other browsers at any time. Edge and Chrome both claim to be able to do that, but last I checked (I check every month or so), they are both still broken when it comes to that

[pseudo mesa]

Because Google is the one hosting it? They're the ones who are serving the ads.

[winged yarrow]

I've completely given up on privacy (for now)

There may come a day where I snap and get rid of any device that has a chance of tracking me in some way, but for now I just figure it's better to be part of the "mainstream" than to be some weirdo with data privacy issues.

When I move to the country, I'll get rid of most of my devices and just let them sell the data they get from satellites 👍

[long briar]

I mean I wear a googlebit

[pseudo mesa]

As an advertiser you can target demographics, but they won't give you people's information. Google does that for you. It's their whole platform.

[slim mirage]

for them it must be EZ money!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY_ov-O6S0Q

Clueless

[pseudo mesa]

I mean, your ignorance won't make you correct.

[long briar]

[winged yarrow]

I trust Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Tencent, and Steam to optimize the profitability of my data.

[stoic beacon]

You're not gonna last long on here.

[pseudo mesa]

Google and Facebook have both admitted under oath they don't sell user's data.

[long briar]

[slim mirage]

hmm that does seem quite useful tbh when i see firefox android users open google why does the page look like google from 2009 what is that about?

[slim mirage]

i love oauth makes things so much easier when logging in!

[long briar]

Because you're looking at windows xp

[stoic beacon]

It's not loading the pretty CSS that Chromium browsers use. It's also hiding the ads while it does so, so it It does look a bit different.

[stoic beacon]

For me, what it always boils down to, since all companies are going to sell your data is...who makes it the easiest to use, the easiest to switch from if it becomes necessary, etc. Who gives me something that makes me feel like I actually own the thing I bought?

Apple just doesn't

[slim mirage]

anyway to make it do that?

[pseudo mesa]

https://youtu.be/o1c7Mr7W1-Q?t=76

[stoic beacon]

Don't think so, no, but I haven't messed with it much...I prefer the way that it looks by default because I don't want the big blocky images. When I'm researching stuff, I actually go to the sites

[full fossil]

“Under oath” like that matters anymore

[winged yarrow]

Apple definitely doesn't. Your iPhone is not your property. Google makes me feel better about it but I don't 100% feel it's mine and I almost feel like if I were to disconnect from Google (which would only be possible with a different ROM) I would be missing out on hardware features (like the camera).

What we need is a framework laptop but for phones.

[stoic beacon]

Nothing Phone tried to do that, but it's not quite there yet

[slim mirage]

hmm, it doesn't glitch out as much when I unfold my phone compared to Chrome this Mozilla company might be onto something!

[long briar]

you do know anytime a website has "share to Facebook" on it, it's being actively tracked by facebook ... right?

[full fossil]

I'd only be able to get Floatplane if I could pay for it with Google Play credits. I'd be willing to cover the markup.

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, their fold support is nice too. I noticed that on my work phone.

[winged yarrow]

That, and most websites are actively tracked by Google just in general.

[long briar]

I hate fb

[winged yarrow]

yes that's what he means by fb

[slim mirage]

lmao

[pliant sphinx]

I hate TikTok even more

[long briar]

Main reason: they ruined instagram

[pseudo mesa]

Right, and I never claimed Facebook wasn't collecting data. They collect a lot of it, they are incentivized to get as much as they can.

[pliant sphinx]

At least it was flagged as a violation of security by my country so good

[slim mirage]

only reason i hate tiktok is the burn in on all of my past oled phones

[winged yarrow]

Listen ok

[long briar]

It used to be an app for photographers to share photos, then they straight up made it trendy for kids to show off bodies or food... it's cringe

[winged yarrow]

Does TikTok access the home WiFi

[pliant sphinx]

It even tracks your location

[fallen cedar]

nope its the first non internet social media

[winged yarrow]

Ok but listen, why does TikTok show me all of these videos of young teens dancing provocatively?

[slim mirage]

the fact these people still have that job after that event is terrifying to me that people like that can be in charge of running a country

[pliant sphinx]

China wants you to think that the US is bad

[long briar]

that's called billboards and mail

[fallen cedar]

cuz you like to see young girls dance proactively and provocatively

[slim mirage]

they aint wrong

[winged yarrow]

These people are more interested in holding/wielding power than making worthwhile changes.

[slim mirage]

is that a reference to the senate thing or what you are experiencing lol

[long briar]

hello

[slim mirage]

i should probably get tested for something but that seems like more hassle than its worth so ill live without ever knowing the answer seems more mysterious

[winged yarrow]

I wait until I'm on the freeway and I see a cop car, then I use my left hand to grab the seat belt and loop the belt on the right side of my left arm, I then retain control of the steering wheel by swapping from holding it with my right hand to my left hand, then I use my right hand to buckle the seat belt. Sometimes if I'm on a straight road, I'll let go of the steering wheel entirely and put the seat belt on that way, since as long as you don't touch the wheel and the road is level you'll keep going straight. Next question.

[winged yarrow]

Is this a flat earth thing?

[pliant sphinx]

The conversation about Nintendo being shit was more friendly

[long briar]

The wheels aren't powered so it would be match the speed of the treadmill, but since it's attached to the plane. as long as it doesn't fly backwards it's fine?

[slim mirage]

is your steam deck running?

well you better go catch it

get it guys that was a spin on the fridge running joke

Like for more 😎

[tardy terrace]

The argument is:
If an aircraft starts at a stationary position on a treadmill and goes full thrust w/ the treadmill countering all forward movement, and no wind present, will the plane generate lift

[long briar]

Oh

[slim mirage]

reddit users be like YOU SIR GET MY UPVOTE!!

[tardy terrace]

The answer is a resounding "No. It will not"

[full fossil]

But people will leapfrog logic all day and night to explain it will

[long briar]

Treadmill is flat assume?

[tardy terrace]

Yes. It's as long as the aircraft

[long briar]

Everything is parallel to the ground? including forces from the jet?

[winged yarrow]

Oh so it's not a discussion about how we're all being lied to and the Earth is actually flat and any time you get into an airplane it's actually just on a treadmill with FAKED imagery of the "curvature" of the earth?

[long briar]

Then no it will not take off

[full fossil]

Speaking of leapfrogging

[tardy terrace]

a commercial airliner, takeoff thrust, at an airport with a treadmill

[long briar]

I've actually never heard this one before I think

But no it won't take off

[fallen cedar]

implying you are all knowing 😄

[tardy terrace]

+1 cookie 4 u 🍪

[long briar]

apparently it's a popular debate? As implied by peyton

[tardy terrace]

it's a semi-common debate

[long briar]

Ah

[full fossil]

It gets people rialed up

[slim mirage]

surely it wont fly as it flys up with lift from the wings?

[long briar]

You can't generate lift without creating an area of low pressure under the wing

[tardy terrace]

Correct, there is no air movement over the wings, thus no lift is generated.

[winged yarrow]

It would create lift if instead of it being on a treadmill and the plane creating thrust you were just throwing air at it

[full fossil]

Yeah
You could argue a plane with a greater than 1:1 thrust to weight could but that’s so 🤓

[long briar]

Which requires air movement around the wings

[long briar]

it doesn't matter

[slim mirage]

a better question would be could you make it take off with like 3 thousand dyson fans see thats a tricky one

answer is probably no

[tardy terrace]

"but the engines are sucking and blowing a bunch of air"
Not on the wings it isn't

[full fossil]

F35 VOTL🤓👆

[long briar]

It doesn't matter.

[full fossil]

Wheels don’t have to spin 🤓👆

[long briar]

If you have thrust vectoring then it becomes a different debate because your forces can be directed elsehwere

[slim mirage]

i mean it might start moving further up the treadmill until the treadmill is put at a higher speed to match the thrust from the engines?

[long briar]

But the debate is about a commercial airline with fixed engines

[full fossil]

You’re overthinking it, just like the 1:1 argument

[winged yarrow]

I thought planes worked like how air is sort of like water but lighter but if you go fast enough it has a resistance to it so if the air was going fast enough same difference but the thrust from the engines isn't for pushing air it's for pushing the plane

[long briar]

Newton's 3rd law, every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction

[tardy terrace]

Once thrust is applied the treadmill counteracts w/ a 1:1 speed

[long briar]

when you push air towards the back, the opposite reaction is you get pushed forwards

[full fossil]

Lift comes from the wings and pressure

[slim mirage]

i know was just saying that was the only thing the engines would do and wouldnt actually effect the lift idk im just typing shit for the sake of it

[winged yarrow]

So you'd need to be throwing air at it near the speeds that the machine creates lift naturally to create lift

[tardy terrace]

In order to create lift the air needs to be moving around you, or you through it, at sufficient speeds.

[slim mirage]

is this actually a debate where people would think it would fly on a treadmill?

[tardy terrace]

Yes.

[full fossil]

Yes it is

[winged yarrow]

I think it would fly if instead of a treadmill it was in a air throwing chamber

[long briar]

apparently it's not a joke debate like doors vs wheels in the world

[full fossil]

It would because then air is providing lift

[long briar]

that's a different question, that's artificially creating pressure around the wings

[slim mirage]

you could think of it like a car spoiler on a dyno it doesnt do anything because theres no wind resistance to push the car down idk seems like just basic knowledge to think it wouldnt fly

[long briar]

given enough air speed and flow you'd fly even without an engine, that's how gliders work

[full fossil]

Yes same idea kinda

[tardy terrace]

Peyton — Today at 9:43 AM
In order to create lift the air needs to be moving around you, or you through it, at sufficient speeds.

[long briar]

it's more about creating a difference in pressure but yes

[winged yarrow]

so for the treadmill it's no bueno unless the thrust from the engine does enough to the air, but that would be like if every time you turned on the engine everything within 20-100 feet just flew back

[full fossil]

You’re way overthinking it

[winged yarrow]

You, Me, Commercial Plane, Fancy Treadmill, 9 o'clock

[long briar]

It won't fly. that's all there is to it

[slim mirage]

but the engines only push it forward like a cars wheels spin on the ground they dont actually cause it to go up thats the wings and the flaps doing that?

[full fossil]

I used the thrust 1:1 argument to be an asshole, not as a real counter argument

[tardy terrace]

I simplified it a bit but yeah low pressure underneath wing is good

So the f-22 could take off

[full fossil]

You’re talking pure sci-fi now

[long briar]

Anything with a form of thrust vectoring can, be it full like f22 or partial like f35

[winged yarrow]

Sure, but everything was sci fi at one point

[long briar]

also jets like f35 are designed to be unstable

[hollow zealot]

Science theory ≠ science fiction

[tardy terrace]

I haven't seen one here yet, the hardware tech is neat

[full fossil]

That doesn’t matter when talking about today’s aircraft with today’s technology

[long briar]

there's something similar in jets that chase record speeds, not sure how tho

also it can't be instant otherwise that's literally infinite force

[white lava]

wrong chat

[winged yarrow]

Yeah that's why I said really really fast

[long briar]

it exists, I don't know how

[hearty spear]

beyond a certain point you cannot

because your organs are moving at 300mph, and you can't buffer them

[hollow zealot]

When we do get around to air/spacecraft that rely on vectoring it'll be pretty wild
Most pilots connect lift and thrust, as well as maneuvers bleeding off speed
Vectored craft don't use lift, so a lot of that mental muscle energy will be wasted

[winged yarrow]

Why limit yourself to today? If something is theoretically possible then it should exist at some point right?

[long briar]

for air, jets made for dogfighting all rely on vectoring already

[hollow zealot]

You're the type of person that thinks it's genius to just keep asking "why" after every response

[long briar]

as well as being designed "unstable"

[full fossil]

You’re arguing yourself into making your argument make sense
Which is the point of asking the question
It gets people who will gaslight themselves all rialed up

[hearty spear]

also the fastest way to go from 300mph to 0 is to go face first into a solid rock wall.

[winged yarrow]

Yeah but I imagine like a big tube that you could use to dampen the inertia inside of the actual vehicle (like where the vehicle stops in 1 second but you spend a couple more seconds stopping at a much slower speed)

[long briar]

poor wall...

[hearty spear]

literally cannot work, because 1s at even 200mph is a LOT of distance

[full fossil]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia_negation#:~:text=accelerating or slowing.-,Inertial damper in real world,him fall through the seat.

[hearty spear]

you go about 100 feet per second at 60MPH so... that'd be well over 300 feet in a single second.

[hollow zealot]

I mean in terms of something like VTOL versus regular ol thrust and lift
Being able to move in any direction without a worry for loss of speed is going to be wild

[full fossil]

Here you go
Inertial negation, read up

[long briar]

srsly tho that was one of the first things I ever learned on the mountains snowboarding is if you're completely out of control, try to stabilize and dig the front edge into the snow, leaning as far forward as possible while maintaining the edge

[winged yarrow]

So if you had your bones surgically removed you could just be encased in goo

[long briar]

most effective way to slow down from high speeds without breaking anything

[winged yarrow]

Wouldn't you bounce?

[long briar]

That's still hitting 0 before you switch directions

[full fossil]

“Technically” as nothing is inelastic

[winged yarrow]

ye

[long briar]

?

[hearty spear]

in a number of different directions after a whole bunch of rapid dissassembly occoured

[long briar]

nothing is elastic. Everything is inelastic

inelastic means not all energy is transferred, doesn't mean no energy is transferred

[full fossil]

Whoopsie daisy

Been a fat minute since I’ve used these words

Elastic is very specifically all energy is transferred which is impossible

[neon mesa]

if you want to take off entirely vertically, that over 1 thrust weight ratio is mandatory. Short Takeoffs however also uses the wings so that is not mandatory

[winged yarrow]

^ I'm just here to enjoy my Friday

[forest valve]

Don't take stuff so seriously compadre

[long briar]

I don't think it was completely vertically tho?

[forest valve]

As a South Canadian I support our northern neighbors

[neon mesa]

the F35 can take off entirely vertically but it's usually pointless so they just do short takeoffs which is what you often see

[long briar]

nvm it is

[forest valve]

United States of South Canada (USSC)

[winged yarrow]

In the fallout universe canada gets annexed by the US

[long briar]

Then yes it does, but equally important is the fact that the nozzles can point down

[summer folio]

LTT should surprise everyone last minute, by changing the location for LTX to Europe!

[long briar]

I guess by that logic f35 could hover like a Heli then?

[full fossil]

It can and has

[long briar]

Very wasteful, though.

Isn't a wartip like an actual ammo thing?

[uncut axle]

💀💀

[forest valve]

Ouch

[uncut axle]

Way worse I would say, my foot did hurt for that night

Although it feel fine now, isn’t purple or anything

[forest valve]

I caught my toe on a plastic gate a few months ago it was purple for a bit

[long briar]

got lucky

[winged yarrow]

Reminds me of that super nasty episode of spongebob when squidward stubs his toe really bad and they animate his toenail separating and shit

yeesh FUCK that episode

Wear titanium toe boots

[uncut axle]

I believe if your foot or hand turns blue or purple after something you should get it checked out

[winged yarrow]

100%

[uncut axle]

Because apparently that might mean it’s broken

[forest valve]

It was a severe bruise it doesn't hurt now

There's nothing they can really do for a toe anyway

[uncut axle]

I did ask my dad if i could get some steel toe boots before we move those big logs

Also I was wearing shorts, so that doesn’t make it any better

So when if fell it also scraped my leg

[winged yarrow]

you fucked up by asking, gotta take initiative and just go grab em

[forest valve]

I will not send a picture here for obvious reasons but if you wish to see you can DM me

[rough temple]

damn, Linus recommended Atlas
not good

Atlas disables UAC, so everything is run as administrator by default

[forest valve]

I'm not switching to atlas

[leaden gale]

How can an OS kernel recommend a completely different operating system altogether?

[winged yarrow]

atlas should be good as a replacement for windows server 2019 right?

[forest valve]

Also I think running everything as admin is changed in newer versions but idk I'm not gonna try it

[forest valve]

I'd still use Windows server 2019 tbh if it's a server

[winged yarrow]

fair

[rough temple]

there is something called kernelspace and userspace

userspace can change and still be compatible with the kernelspace

like how Win11 and Win10 use the NT Kernel
difference is Atlas uses the Win11 version of the NT Kernel

this is possible cause we have APIs and ABIs set in place

[leaden gale]

My brother in Christ, read your original statement very carefully and then read my response

[rough temple]

ReactOS is looking good these days

Much better than it used to in like 2013

[rough temple]

just read some updates

Atlas 0.3 re-enabled UAC
so that's good
Atlas listening to criticism 😄

[winged yarrow]

Is it built with React tho

Because I don't wanna have to go learn some janky C# off brand

[amber cairn]

who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to strip out UAC?

[winged yarrow]

how does that work anyway

like could you have another user with less permissions on the system without uac?

[amber cairn]

i guess they got a pre-vista fallback still so you'll be working with XP-levels account security but that's just a guess

[median escarp]

wait 0.3 released?

also you can reenable it through the atlas folder

is it normal to watch "why jack the ripper disappeared" at 8pm?

You can make a thread in #1027757333117415424 and post pics there

[hard heart]

Thank you, I´ll post there.

[winged yarrow]

What kinda VPN?

[oak flare]

90 isn't the worst thing in the world, chances are it might be an airflow concern or a driver problem. If you are worried, I'd suggest either making sure the peels are off the IHS or make sure your case fans /filters are functioning properly. Nothing worse than seeing a herd of dust bunnies near your filters lol

[echo canopy]

they said wireguard in a diff channel lol

[winged yarrow]

Ah, I've used Wireguard before and have run into issues with WebRTC on Discord. That could affect your call performance, but it was dodgy on whether it wanted to cooperate or not for me, and a lot of the times I saw no issue or added latency.

[summer folio]

I see! Thanks for input.
If I wanted to split tunnel my Mullvad VPN, it's google Phone app I should add, right? Not google services?

[winged yarrow]

The only paid VPN I ever used was the one malwarebytes gave me in a bundle

[summer folio]

I also still wonder if WiFi-Callinh on 2,4 Ghz or 5Ghz or 4G-LTE is "best".

[winged yarrow]

so I'm not sure tbh, lately I've been enjoying using Outline VPN but that's just an abstraction of shadowsocks and so technically not a VPN

[forest valve]

Split tunneling it hit or miss, it doesnt work well with some stuff

[summer folio]

Hehe, I can't use my Bank with VPN. It blocks them kek

[winged yarrow]

My buddy actually called Disney Plus support to get them to whitelist the IP for the VPN I set up on AWS telling them that it was his IP address for his home address since his whole house was set up for it yadda yadda

worked like a charm and now it's not blocked

[summer folio]

The Mozilla/Firefox VPN is just reskinned Swedish Mullvad VPN last time I checked also

[winged yarrow]

Still $5/mo?

Outline VPN is super easy to setup on like a digitalocean droplet, and those I think can go down to like $4/mo

[summer folio]

Mullvad VPN is always 5€($?) yah

[winged yarrow]

but it would be the same IP all the time

[neon mesa]

windscribe custom plan for $3 tho

[winged yarrow]

ig my concept was self hosted on my own VPS vs buying from a company

[summer folio]

Mullvad recently had a "proof-of-concept" review, when Germany asked Swedish FBI to raid Mullvad Servers looking trying to trace a IP-adress.

didnt think anyone else knew about it lol

[winged yarrow]

uh idk if it's on gamepass but it's like doom if doom was a rhythm game where you play as a demon or some shit lol

I haven't played it but a buddy of mine has and it looks good

When the combo multiplier goes up and the vocals kick in and shit xD

[terse matrix]

yes

[winged yarrow]

I can see that same model being applied all over the place to much success

[terse matrix]

shame we cant post images

[winged yarrow]

You can with floatplane sub or nitro boost

[terse matrix]

yes

[echo canopy]

not really, games like that have existed for a while and its still not that popular

[terse matrix]

maybe when i actually get a wage

anyway
its called hellsinger isnt it

[winged yarrow]

I haven't seen any others that were first person shooters with rhythm elements

[terse matrix]

i might install it again soon
gotta clear some shit off my ssd cos i hate my hard drive

[winged yarrow]

To be fair, I haven't looked very hard, but if Game Dev Tycoon taught me anything it's that there will come a day where that weird set of genres/themes just hits right for everybody all at once.

[terse matrix]

that reminds me
saw a ps5 disc bundle that was insane earlier

[winged yarrow]

yeah?

[terse matrix]

ps5
forbidden west
gt7
spare controller
sn850 1tb
some logitech headset
media controller
and smt else idr
but all for £240 used

facebooks mad

[echo canopy]

I can’t name it off the top of my head they do exist. There is even a similar one for VR altho its “charted”

[low rain]

should i get a g29 or a oculus quest 2

[crystal pike]

From a security perspective is it okay to use macos mojave or high sierra in 2023? Mostly to make the laptop a lot faster since big sur and monterey are incredibly slow

Of course up to date browser and just a small selection of software (Telegram, Discord, spotify)

[north ermine]

Do you guys have any good phones to recommend under $350

[pliant sphinx]

That's cool!

[fossil frost]

yeah, you took computer science, as in, a theory based course... learning the theory behind the fun stuff, is important

[idle nymph]

Depend

I have an oculus and i dont use it too much cause not lott of room

[hazy parrot]

vr is cool till u realize u spent $1500 on demos and bought skyrim again

[idle nymph]

Vr is cool Till you almost break the Controller along whit your hand punching a wall

[vapid smelt]

Get a bigger room

[hazy parrot]

VR is cool till you’ve done that about 15 times already and develop your VR

How these controllers hold together thru that must have been factored for

But my hands….not so well.

[idle nymph]

How tf?

Do i tear all wall

[hazy parrot]

He’s playing vr bro that’s kinda rude

[vapid smelt]

Just go into the real life editing software and move the walls

[hazy parrot]

You’d look like a moron

[hazy parrot]

This got deep

[idle nymph]

Hold on Im getting the Tool gun brb

[true schooner]

bruh

does that really bother you that much

[idle nymph]

Jokes aside horrible part picking

[vapid smelt]

For me yes

[idle nymph]

Yes it does, at least use pcpp

[low rain]

So which one

[fossil frost]

yes

[idle nymph]

You got Bad screen rn?

[low rain]

Eh not rlly but I kinda wanna play bonelabs

[idle nymph]

Meh trust me vr get boring Quick actually

[low rain]

So g920 or g29?

[thorny axle]

I mean, you could say that about any game

[idle nymph]

Idk about screen good luck

[low rain]

Or rlly any wheel under $400

[idle nymph]

Wrong

[thorny axle]

You really can

[idle nymph]

My dad had an old logitech one, logo g25 or sum like that, it worked quite well and is cheap

[thorny axle]

It’s just a matter of personal preference

[idle nymph]

Except game is 70 max, vr is 300

Also oculus is a pain in the ass to use

[thorny axle]

I know, I’ve used it before

[idle nymph]

I hâte it, i dont want to create twenty Account everytime i wanna play

[thorny axle]

Definitely way more tedious than a regular PC setup

[low rain]

But imagine war thunder in vr

[idle nymph]

Vomit simulator

[low rain]

I played in a full flight sim and didn’t vomit

[pliant karma]

I heard flight sim lol

[idle nymph]

Whit oculus you will, image quality is pretty Bad

[pliant karma]

6.5 hour flight back to home base.

[thorny axle]

Bad VR can cause terrible motion sickness

[low rain]

I was at a plane museum and went in a full f16 flight sim thing

[thorny axle]

Eh, will cause*

[low rain]

It was so scary going upside down 😭

[thorny axle]

Worse than a flight sim

[low rain]

I could never

[idle nymph]

Boring simulator

[pliant karma]

this is fun oceanic atc is online on vatsim so now i have to figure out how to get the HF radio on the 737 running

[pliant karma]

to be fair I've been simming for 4.5 years at least so I'm use to dealing with the long hours

one of those hobbies I've put money into

[low rain]

Ratio

[edgy moss]

Did you guys hear about the new Radeon 780M?

According to synthetic benchmarks, it’s on par with the GTX 1650ti

[full fossil]

The integrated navi stuff? Yea

[vapid smelt]

780m sounds like a Intel apu name

[edgy moss]

I think it’s RDNA3

[brazen needle]

Is it normal to see 2 different discs. I only have 1 m.2 installed

[edgy moss]

Sort of? It could be a system reserved disk

[fleet yacht]

any mobile users having trouble with images

[cedar oak]

You have to define mobile a little more,becausee that can be any number of device

[full fossil]

Is it illgeal to shoplift by accident but not paying

I just came home from walmart and forgot to scan the water and self checkouy

[cedar oak]

Taking anything without paying is illgeal

[fossil frost]

yes, its still shoplifting, but for a bottle of water, nobody is going to notice, or care

[full fossil]

What about a case of water

[vapid smelt]

It's Walmart they can take the hit

[fossil frost]

dunno, depends on how much the case is worth

[full fossil]

Prob 1.47

[cedar oak]

It depends on ur State / County

for charges over the price of the item shoplifted

[small zephyr]

how can i stop gamepass games messing my controller layout up

[fossil frost]

gamepass and its games doesnt touch your controller layout at all...

[full fossil]

Im in canada

[small zephyr]

why is it constantly spam changing o and x then?

[cedar oak]

Not sure of their laws, but I would say it depends on ur county. To be honest, I would just let it be and not do or say anything.

Sometimes being honest / upfront will bite you in the butt

[fossil frost]

nobody is going to care about a couple of bottles of water.. at all.. but its still shop lifting... and if you get caught doing it, consequences will be the same whether you mean to do it or not. this time, looks like nobody caught you, or security would have been at the door waiting... but next time, might not go down that way and security will be waiting for you

[cedar oak]

Walmarts here in the states are easily trigger for smallest thing, so they could either take it as a lost. Being super dramatic about it and try to press charges..

[fossil frost]

almost none of those charges will ever lead to anything, but being dramatic about it and pushing for them, is a huge deterrent to everyone else

if the average person thought there was absolutely no trouble they could get into for just not bothering to pay, then, who bother to pay?

[cedar oak]

indeed

[polar fern]

What’s the difference between RX 6600 & the xt version?

[vapid smelt]

Xt is much faster

[fossil frost]

quite a bit in terms of performance, i had the xt, its incredible for the price, the non-xt is a waste of money

[cedar oak]

its like 3070 vs 3070 ti "xt being ti

[fossil frost]

my 11yo son has my 6600xt now, i have a 6750xt

[vapid smelt]

Wtf you son has a gpu that's just as fast as mine

[polar fern]

It’s a massive price difference

[fossil frost]

the price difference to get the xt version, is more than worth it

in fact, the price difference is quite small compared to the performance difference

[full fossil]

Damn lets hope im not charged

[fossil frost]

thats what happens when you have a dad who is terrible for impulse buying

[polar fern]

Yeah but $50 is a lot on a fixed income.😞

[fossil frost]

unless they grabbed you on the way out of the store, you didnt get caught

[fossil frost]

its only $50 now? damn... i dont get why amd bother making the non-xt version for that

[polar fern]

Cooling? Wattage?

[fossil frost]

its cooler and uses less power because its worse

[polar fern]

No the xt runs cooler

[vapid smelt]

A used 6600xt is $200 and the last gen just as fast rx 5700xt is $160 used

[fossil frost]

some models will, some wont

[polar fern]

160 watts

Not used. No interest.

[fossil frost]

get the xt, forget that the non-xt exists

[cedar oak]

but on a fixed income

can you be that picky vs new and used

[fossil frost]

"fixed income" just means somebody is salaried... i have a fixed income, so does everyone with a salary...

gig/shift workers have a non-fixed income...

[vapid smelt]

If I recall right biker is on government disability or something

[cedar oak]

I'm salary too but not on fixed income

[fossil frost]

do you get paid the same amount each month? if so, thats a fixed amount

[cedar oak]

meh

To me a fixed income is having money but in like stocks / CDs or investments in something

[polar fern]

Hmm

[stoic beacon]

That's called passive income, not fixed.

[polar fern]

No. I’m on disability

[cedar oak]

Passive income is non-taxed tho no?

[fossil frost]

all income is taxed

[stoic beacon]

All income is taxed.

[tardy terrace]

all reported income

[vapid smelt]

It's taxed when you pull it out

[cedar oak]

ahh

[fossil frost]

even the money that has already been taxed, and then you save it, and then try to use it later, you get taxed on it again

[polar fern]

Disability isn’t taxed

[stoic beacon]

Disability IS taxes.

[fossil frost]

its not income, its a government benefit

[vapid smelt]

As a tax payer I am transit bikers boss

[fossil frost]

that means you get to tell them what to do... like... telling them not to buy a stupid 6600 non-xt

[vapid smelt]

I find it funny when people get mad at cops saying that they pay their salary, well so do the cops

[cedar oak]

hehe

[brave wave]

anyone available for a tech talk?

[fossil frost]

my brothers girlfriend put something on facebook a few months ago, along the lines of "my benefits have been cut to £700 a month, how are we supposed to live on what [my brother] gets, and that alone? it cant be done"

[brave wave]

need some assistance

[tardy terrace]

god yes its raining

[tardy terrace]

I actually hate moochers.

[cedar oak]

You can take Californias rain

[stoic beacon]

It's almost like... Survival is hard work.... Hmm......

[vapid smelt]

Wtf is she doing only getting 700 a month?

[tardy terrace]

It's almost like surviving in a modern world shouldn't cost you 95% of your paycheck.

[brave wave]

again, sorry to stick my beak in, but if anyone could spare a moment just to give some advice on a build, itd be much appreciated

[tardy terrace]

Pop on over to #build-a-pc

[stoic beacon]

Get a better job.

[tardy terrace]

Gee-golly I sure wish I could :^)

[fossil frost]

i had to point out to her that the £700 she gets, plus what my brother earns, is plenty to live on, if they knew how to not just throw away money all the time... and... i pay more than £700 in taxes.... so if she wants to complain, ill stop paying tax, she can stop claiming benefits, and she can work for me for the £900/mo i pay in taxes... and she said shes not going to clean my house for £900/mo... which, given she would be doing say 30 hours a week, she would be on just above minimum wage for her age...and would be earning more than she ever has in her life

they are both very very wasteful between them, and live well outside of their means, and shes never worked once, ever... and doesnt want to do

[tardy terrace]

Christ, I'd take that gig

as long as I can listen to my own music and get access to the kitchen when I get snack-y

[vapid smelt]

Your saying the UK pays for health care would give me 700 pounds a month if I claim disability?

[fossil frost]

im in my office with my headphones on, and as long as you make me a coffee when you are making a snack, so i wouldnt hear your music anyway, and, i have lots of snacks

[tardy terrace]

do I get free coffee too if I make you some

Fuck yes, where do i sign

[fossil frost]

she claims 2 different forms of disability for a bunch of mental issues shes faking, because shes only got those mental issues in the doctors office... plus child benefits... and some form of additional income support... adds up to about £700 right now apparently

where as my total tax for april, was £923

[tardy terrace]

And now I'm angry. People who feign mental illnesses for government assistance really, really piss me off

[vapid smelt]

I have real mental health disabilities I could claim if I wanted to here in the US I can work through it

[tardy terrace]

Same here, some days it's incredibly difficult to work through my issues, but others it can really be to my advantage.

[polar fern]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cTp4rD

[fossil frost]

i genuinely do have high functioning anxiety, my fiance has mild depression and quite bad anxiety... you know what we do? DEAL WITH IT... do stuff to actually combat it... work through it... work at it, every day... where as my brothers gf gets sad every so often that she cant go on a 3rd holiday, so claims she has "crippling depression" and goes crying to a doctor for a note that says shes too sick to work

[thick agate]

why G

[polar fern]

The 5700g comes with its own cooler

[tardy terrace]

I had to leave a little early today because tweakers kept tweaking & making me overstimulated to the point I was snapping at non-regulars that'd do the slightest thing to piss me off

[polar fern]

And aux video out

And cheaper

[thick agate]

and weaker

[polar fern]

Nope.

[thick agate]

?

[polar fern]

8 core

[fossil frost]

5700G is a good chip, its weaker by default, but, PBO can push it quite high, and manual OC can push it even higher

[timid meadow]

Stealth or Spire? I wouldnt rely on stealth for that chip, spire should be fine tho

[tardy terrace]

Moderate-severe depression, ADHD, More-controlled broad-spectrum anxiety, and ASD. I've worked my ass off for 27 years to feel like I'm somewhat of a "functioning member of society".

[polar fern]

It’s already a huge upgrade from the 3400g I have now so I’m not concerned

[thick agate]

the 5600x beats the 5700g

[tardy terrace]

Sensory issues are the fucking worst some days

[fossil frost]

if you get the good cooler with it... just do a +200mhz PBO on it, and tune the CO curve to bring temps back into line.. and you start getting much better performance

[fossil frost]

yep, at higher temps, and with fewer cores

[polar fern]

It doesn’t have its own cooler in the box and it’s more money to boot

[thick agate]

and double the cache

[fossil frost]

5700g is fine, especially if you are willing to put a few hours in to tune it

[thick agate]

i guess

[timid meadow]

Same minus the asd but thats a spectrum so could just be undiagnosed 🤷. But yea the "i had 1 rough day now i cant go to work for a week poor me" are infuriating

[thick agate]

but a few hours of work can get you enough money to buy a higher tier cpu too

to each their own i guess

[tardy terrace]

For me even just having a day to recharge can be enough. I can usually get away w/ an evening of isolation though

But my main issue is that after a month or so of working, even with weekends, I get incredibly burnt out and I just start slacking off because I have no more motivation.

[timid meadow]

Thats usually yearly for me. I need some kind of big change in my life or career move or something or ill start to go nuts

[fossil frost]

im 37 now, always worked since i was out of college, always had mild background anxiety, but full on proper "some days i dont want to leave the room" anxiety, only started about 5 years ago, had a full on breakdown and spent 2 weeks unable to leave the house... that anxiety is still there, but, i can ignore it, or, talk myself round, or deal with it in other ways like distracting the shit out of myself with something shiny like a new CPU, and trying to OC the shit out of it 😄

[tardy terrace]

After this summer I'm gonna focus on getting some certs and find a more tech-y gig

[tardy terrace]

I used to have the severe breakdowns fairly frequently, they still happen sometimes but I've gotten fairly good at removing myself from a situation where I get overwhelmed & end up shutting down.

Last real bad one was on christmas, It had gotten so busy I was starting to fuck up people's lottery orders, and you can't just swap the tickets out, the moment they're printed it's an active, completed sale.

People can be real fucking assholes over lottery.

[fossil frost]

and if you cant work, because you live on government disability, there is no "work an extra few hours"... so... getting the 5700g is THE option, plus gives them the chance to learn a bunch about their cpu and how it works, and everything around it, and... OCing is fun too, so they get to have the fun and satisfaction of watching the scores get better

[polar fern]

I can’t justify more expensive priced processor with the need for a cooler on top of that.

[gentle plinth]

scored a 6’ coaxial cable from Walmart today for $1

[polar fern]

I’m not going to be overclocking it

[gentle plinth]

Vs $7.98 online

[tardy terrace]

I will use my dark rock pro 3 until the heat pipes break down
(or if BQ no longer supports socket updoots)

[fossil frost]

is it for gaming? at 1080p? if so, 5700g is plenty

[fossil frost]

at least do PBO, its extra performance for almost no effort, and is the same as turning on XMP

[polar fern]

Video editing, gaming, streaming. And like I said what I am using now is a 3400G

So it’s automatically a massive improvement

[fossil frost]

awesome

just dont buy the 6600 non-xt, you will regret it for editing, gaming AND streaming...

[polar fern]

And memory on there is temporary as I’m planning to buy 4 16 GB modules over time

[tardy terrace]

I've decided to go AMD for my next core component updoot (minus GPU), I'm torn
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3824vs3869vs5033/Intel-i9-10850K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5800X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-7600X

[thick agate]

64gb ram dam

[tardy terrace]

wait nvm i missed the single-core rating 7600 it is

[thick agate]

how reliable is passmark, im just curious

[vapid smelt]

7600 is still over priced imo

[tardy terrace]

More reliable than userbenchmark

[fossil frost]

64gb of ram is still not enough on my machine 🙂

[tardy terrace]

I stopped using UBM after they were proven to be colluding w/ Intel to artificially boost Intel CPU scores.

[thick agate]

i had a friend that his i9-9900k scored super low on passmark for some reason and my i7 scored way higher than the average

[fossil frost]

probably hitting thermal limits, and doesnt have his cpu cooled properly

[tardy terrace]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MxT9bK updoot path

[thick agate]

no hes fine on thermals

[timid meadow]

I mean, if intel themselves artificially push their numbers why cant UBM? /s

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-28-core-cpu-5ghz,37244.html

[vapid smelt]

7600 should drop to 180-200 imo

[tardy terrace]

yeah i agree tbh

no wait I'm lusting after the x variant

$240 seems appropriate for that
