[small zephyr]

🤨 i have an capable maybe mid tier pc but mostly use it only to read manga/manhwa/manhua

manwha/manhua is the chinese/korean version of manga bascily more like webtoon to be true

istead of changing the page you scroll on em and they are in color compared to the japanese manga thats only black and white

solo leveling for example is an nice webtoon/ manwha

🤔 its most likely even one of the most liked korean stuff, considering an the A1 anime studio from japan is making it an anime

best chinese one is the kings avatar

[fallen cedar]

looks like ass but if you made it im sure your parents are going to hang it on the fridge

[wind pulsar]

To oversimplify

Manga are Japanese comics
Manwha are Korean comics
Manhua are Chinese comics

[fallen cedar]

sorry I cannot dumb it down any further

[dreamy rose]

i wish people would stop trying to make Girlfriends out of shit. we dont need anime girls with logo heads ffs!

[small zephyr]

its weird tho that there are many ero comics that are chinese

i wonder how they published em without being imprisoned

[fervent prairie]

Oh I remember that. It's league of legends meets wow online rpg something in a game cafe

[wind pulsar]

Though that's not gonna be the original since Japanese 'fans' are mildly pissed that the Japanese are being made a villian in the webtoon

[small zephyr]

yeah more mmorpg with pvp fokus but if you can get around hearing chinese instead of japanese its an great anime, hate that they changed the animemation style in second season tho

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ they are not the only evils, and theres enough japanese stuff that makes korea etc evil as well

but japan got an censored version as as i know where the protagonist is japanese instead of korean i think

[wind pulsar]

Yes, literally what I just hinted at

[small zephyr]

and the japanese fans hated it in the comic i hope they learned a lesson, however its not like the story changes lmao

[fervent prairie]

If they only change who is the bad guys idk. It's fiction anyway

[wind pulsar]

That is not the case, that's why people are pissed
It's a common theme to make Japan in both manhua and manhwa an evil entity, while Japan mostly keeps their shit to themselves

Though it's still dumb, they make the US the enemy plenty of times and the US doesn't give a fuck either

[small zephyr]

welp theres one nation every fucking content creator is making em evil: germany

[fervent prairie]

Japanese culture in a nutshell. Keep to themselves.

[wind pulsar]

Germany is almost never the evil in Anime or manga

[small zephyr]

duh come on its over 70years now we still pay amendments why do we still get always displayed as evil dicks

[wind pulsar]

People will be just as pissed if they do- unless it's badass then it works

[wind pulsar]

I don't see the issue

[small zephyr]

oof i fear just one thing bout the solo leveling anime

[wind pulsar]

You can't really change much about what the people think

[small zephyr]

since its made from a1 that already made sao an huuge succes, i hope we dont get an massive overused awakening/player genre

[dreamy rose]

bro we still get shit on because we sent a squad of 4 ppl to kill a population of man sized murder chickens 91 years ago.

[fervent prairie]

Imagine they change the evil country to Germany.

[small zephyr]

nah its an no existence

[fallen cedar]

[small zephyr]

but take youjo senki for example, they are ww2 germans for sure

[fallen cedar]

thanks for buying all our weed tho

[fervent prairie]

Australia?🦆

[fervent prairie]

That show is full on WW2 if magic existed

[small zephyr]

🤔 there are 2 places on this world no one gets me to ever visit

1.australia 2.amazonas

[full fossil]

I too will never visit an amazon distribution center

[small zephyr]

that are the places with the most deadly creatures everywhere

[fervent prairie]

North Korea? we found the spy

[small zephyr]

be it an fucking deadly spider or snakes

[small zephyr]

maybe if someone assasinnates kim

[fallen cedar]

gl with that

[dreamy rose]

you all laugh but wait until you are swarmed by a flock of 20 or so 5.7ft birds and all you have is limited Ammunition and one vintage Machine gun made in the 1910's. in the scorching deserts,

[fervent prairie]

Should've done a better job then. Spy

[small zephyr]

i only know how to do so by pressing square

😂

[dreamy rose]

you aren't even playing the right game.

[fallen cedar]

but I wont 😄 , therefore I shall

[small zephyr]

🤔 i bet an solo leveling not mobile game video game would be kinda nice

[dreamy rose]

yeah because we already had to in '32.

[fallen cedar]

lost to flightless bird

[small zephyr]

if it would be made as a total war type of game

or like dnasty warriors solo leveling or something like this

[fallen cedar]

Australian sophistication wasn't ready for the ground-breaking strategy of running away

[dreamy rose]

the only games you ever need are Racing games and Team Fortress 2/Half Life, Portal

[fallen cedar]

with more latency than the Mars Curiosity Rover

[small zephyr]

nah racing games died for me after need for speed underground

underground was the last racing game i liked

well i kinda like forza horizen but not as racing game but just driving everywhere and do stunts

[dreamy rose]

they died when FH4 took the soundtrack away and replaced it with Toilet sounds.

[spiral summit]

CS 2 would probably fit in nicely

Csgo still holds up, I'd say it's TF2 levels of good

[fallen cedar]

its better than tf2 because it wasnt abandoned by its dad like I was that faithful night in 99

[small zephyr]

🤔 why did i buy an FFXV copy again? i already have one

[dreamy rose]

i wont deny that CS is massive. however. i dont care how big it is. Half Life and Portal are way more important series.
Team Fortress is no longer "Just a game" its a Cultural icon. you cant have lived on the internet without seeing anything of TF2.

[small zephyr]

maybe cuz it was 5 bucks for the steelbook version?

[fallen cedar]

I mean tf2 more interesting mechanics, art and comedy

but its also a mess

[dreamy rose]

Rest In Piece Rick May.

[fallen cedar]

I still cant play tf2 without getting constant dips to like 90 fps 😄

Its literally voodoo

[dreamy rose]

havent been in casual recently but last time the bots were gone.

[fallen cedar]

oh I meant way before the bots 😄

[summer folio]

"I'm Pickle Rick!" -🥒

[fallen cedar]

its always been a game where fun levels are highly depended if you got a fun lobby

[dreamy rose]

stop.

[summer folio]

Wrong Rick?

[fallen cedar]

I miss the game 😦

[atomic vessel]

it depends on the region & time
asia servers seem to be fine now (occasional aimbots tho)
dk about american ones

TF2's still alive
pretty playable too

[fallen cedar]

not for me

literally anything and everything ive tried

[dreamy rose]

Rick May didn't turn himself into a Pickle. he voiced the dumbest and most lovable solder we ever knew. and died to Covid 13 years later. Fuck that cursed virus.

[atomic vessel]

are there bots in your region? or is it some other issue

[fallen cedar]

EU

nah even on empty servers it just microsutters its ass off

this is across all settings across like 5 windows formats, across new GPU 😄

it just contracted the aids and never let go

[dreamy rose]

does Oceania have their own official TF2 servers ?

[fallen cedar]

ye

[dreamy rose]

well then i guess they are fine too then.

[atomic vessel]

ah settings issues

have you tried mastercomfig?

[fallen cedar]

uhm

idk maybe? please elaborate

[atomic vessel]

there's a community made tool called mastercomfig that optimizes the game

[dreamy rose]

you throw your preferences into a website and it spits out a config file for tf2

[atomic vessel]

they added direct installs too btw

[fallen cedar]

ill dl the game rn

[dreamy rose]

[atomic vessel]

yeah it's pretty nice
lotta improvements
maybe it could solve your fps issues?

[fallen cedar]

1047 hours in the game

and like 40 of those in the last 6 years, so I hope so

send link pls

[dreamy rose]

https://mastercomfig.com/app/

[fallen cedar]

[atomic vessel]

idk if links are allowed here, but iit's mastercomfig dot com

[dreamy rose]

Source is a nightmare too, what the last update was with the launch of TF2 and The Orange Box in 2007?

[fallen cedar]

late to the party but A for effort

[atomic vessel]

thanks lol

hopefully you can fix your tf2 issues
game's still fun as hell after all those years

[dreamy rose]

oh wait no the last version was with Portal 2 in 2011. modded just for it.

[pliant sphinx]

Does anyone know about laptops here, I am desperate in selecting

[dusty rune]

ask ur question in any of the tech chats

[dreamy rose]

look for the AMD laptops for generally better experiences.

[pliant sphinx]

Sad reality, got ignored
At least it caught someone's attention here, the plan worked

[fallen cedar]

games isntalled

[dreamy rose]

Artifact

[fallen cedar]

if this works im going to kiss you on your forehead

[dreamy rose]

now only if everyone ditched Dota and screamed for Half Life 3 we'd get somewhere.

[spiral summit]

You know what else is massive?

[full fossil]

The budget deficit

[spiral summit]

[low rain]

No way you called the s22 ultra trash 💀💀💀

[umbral meadow]

and it only works for a month

[low rain]

Oh

[umbral meadow]

wait wut?, the s22 is better than the iphone 13

[dire lodge]

the eu version is trash...

slow as fuck for over 1000€

[umbral meadow]

slow?!

[last solstice]

I just had a math exam 💀

[umbral meadow]

i have an s9 its plenty fast for me

[low rain]

I don’t like the s9, I have a s9 as my secondary phone but tbh I don’t rlly like it.

[dire lodge]

if i compare this phone to my old Oneplus 5t it is slow... and that is sad

[umbral meadow]

y not ?

[fallen cedar]

OnePlus gang

[umbral meadow]

soo, no one's interested in my promo code? 🙂

[fallen cedar]

what does the code promo?

does it promo me?

[umbral meadow]

u put it in during the purchase

[fallen cedar]

hmm no longer interested

[umbral meadow]

it gives u a 25 usd discount

[fallen cedar]

id rather have code that promotes me

[dire lodge]

are there any conditions ?

[umbral meadow]

i have no idea, i got it for free for my birthday from samsung

[dire lodge]

would be good to know 😅

[umbral meadow]

it should work on every product.

i have a picture of it if u wanna

[fallen cedar]

[dire lodge]

if it work on a product less than 25$ ill take it... but i dont think it works like this

[umbral meadow]

like i said, i have no idea, is there samsung products under 25$ anyway?

ooo actually there are limitations

[atomic vessel]

ram sticks?

[umbral meadow]

it only runs on devices running oneui3 or later

[dire lodge]

shure i need a Samsung Dex cable

[umbral meadow]

an only on devices that run android 8 or later with over 1.5gb of ram

so, anyone interested?

its a free 15 bucks, (if you are going to buy a samsung product that is)

[fallen cedar]

aka not free 😄

[umbral meadow]

lol

[dire lodge]

he never sayed that

[urban radish]

Its treason ten day

[fallen cedar]

[umbral meadow]

i can sell it for 5$ since its pretty worthless to me

so then it'd mean free 20$

[dire lodge]

can i use it for a samsung dex cable deliverd to Germany?😅

[umbral meadow]

idk xD

wanna buy it and try out 🤣

[dire lodge]

well... no...

[umbral meadow]

xD

[civic elk]

Just received my LTT water bottle. Does anyone know if there is a compatible straw lid?

[umbral meadow]

congrats

[dire lodge]

i dont find any informations online about a 25$ birthday code...

[civic elk]

Also got the ABC book for my cousin's new baby due in the next few weeks as well as 50 orange cable ties

[umbral meadow]

i could send u a screenshot

[dire lodge]

shure

[umbral meadow]

ok

[long briar]

ok but oneplus has like double the ram

And old oxygenos literally had a reputation for staying snappy

[full fossil]

Xsend

[long briar]

especially when compared to pixels

[mint abyss]

About to upgrade from gtx 970 to rtx 3060, anything I should know before/after I swap the gpu onto the pc?

[long briar]

don't buy a 3060 ;-;

But otherwise... nothing new

[mint abyss]

Also wondering if I want to format my boot drive and reinstall windows 10, what debloating software should I get to clean up windows crap like cortana and one drive?

already bought a used zotac 3060 twinedge for $300 CAD shipped, so like $224 USD

bad deal?

[long briar]

300cad? not bad, but you could've gotten a 6600xt for that price

It's fine then

[atomic vessel]

idk if there's debloating software
but pretty sure you can get cortana to stop working in the settings
or just say no to everything when reinstalling

[mint abyss]

Last time I install windows 10 was probably two years ago, I don't remember how I cleaned up cortana but I remember it was a huge issue, it won't turn off

[green scarab]

I was installing windows (from a usb) on a build for someone and accidentally turned off the PC while it was installing. Can I just turn it on again and continue or do I need to wipe the usb and put Windows on it again?

[mint abyss]

maybe microsoft fixed it, I hated it so much

[green scarab]

Can't find a clear answer about this online

[mint abyss]

you probably need to redo it, installing windows onto a pc or making a windows installation drive

[green scarab]

installation drive

[mint abyss]

id wipe the usb first

[green scarab]

aight thanks

[floral inlet]

Why are so many people freaking about not being able to Watch Creators videos unless they disable as blocker and telling users if you want to be Ad free Subscribe to YouTube Premium ads makes it free for billions of users without ads you will have to pay for YouTube it makes sense to me it cant run without any money coming in

[full fossil]

Uh oh

[spring socket]

Have you seen YouTube ads?

[floral inlet]

No

I have YouTube Premium I got tired of ads on Mobile

My last one in mobile was 10 of 10 I was like holy cow that is alot and so I subscribed to YouTube Premium

If less people used ad blocker the ads wont be as long probably

[spring socket]

Yeah sure buddy

[floral inlet]

I can only guess I don't know the answer

[spring socket]

I use ad block on YouTube lol

[floral inlet]

If i could turn on Memberships and also turn off Ads for them I would

[timid meadow]

But Revanced exists

[lucid echo]

I have the means to setup revanced, but I prefer to provide revenue to creators I watch via Premium

[spring socket]

They probably don't get paid much, you know that right?

With how ridiculously easy it is to get demonetized

[floral inlet]

But with YouTube Shorts being part of YouTube Partner Program I will never be able to Monetize now anyways

[lucid echo]

The revenue from a Premium viewer is 1000x the revenue from a ad-supported viewer, multiple creators have confirmed this

For easily-demonetized channels I usually support them on patreon

[floral inlet]

Actually Linus has said they make more money off of Premium users then they do with your average Joe that watches with ads

[crude jasper]

there's also channel subscriptions to access videos sooner

not very worth it for alot of channels, hacksmith is one of the ones i think it is though

[lucid echo]

This is one of many factors to ad profitability, and theoretically there'd be fewer ads if they were more profitable, but I don't think it's a silver bullet

[analog parrot]

Anyone had issues with discord lately?

[floral inlet]

I know Discord is changing something and I dislike it

My username is the same everywhere

[analog parrot]

Well my frames seem to half when i open it, even though its in the system tray, as soon as i bring it back up my frames half

[echo canopy]

Ads flat out pay horribly, Adblock or not.

[floral inlet]

See the thing is though I watch alot of videos on my phone so if I search up YouTube bam goes straight to the app

[lucid echo]

That's correct!

[spring socket]

Don't forget the double standards that YouTube ads have over videos

[tardy terrace]

btw ublock origin got a "lite" remake w/ compatibility w/ Manifest3

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh

[floral inlet]

What is Manifest 3

[timid meadow]

Is there any ad blocking on a series s right now? Or am i locked to browser options?

[tardy terrace]

google's core chrome update

[lucid echo]

Google's attempt at suppressing adblock extensions in chrome

[echo canopy]

It’s cut down a lot compared to the full experience on brave or firefox

[lucid echo]

||firefox gang rise up||

[tardy terrace]

I refuse to not use chrome :u

I'm in too deep w/ the ecosystem

[lucid echo]

I do not judge people's personal preferences

[lucid echo]

Yeah it's slick. I have to use it for work

[floral inlet]

I am too deep in all of my Passwords have been in Microsoft for Years with there Browser

[echo canopy]

It’s easy to move to something actually good like Bitwarden

[teal estuary]

bitwarden ftfw

i personally have a self-hosted vaultwarden install

[lucid echo]

I recognize bitwarden is superior, yet I am too lazy to deal with the switch

[teal estuary]

^ i do not recommend this unless you really know what you are doing with running a service like this

[tardy terrace]

whoa
thats neat

[lucid echo]

Do you have any resources laying out the risks (and appropriate security measures) of this? I'm very familiar with docker/homelab projects but never dove much into the security side of it

[teal estuary]

oh, its mostly the data backup

if you loose your password manager server, thats a problem

granted, there is a copy on every device too, but its not something you want to fuck with

[lucid echo]

Would an encrypted remote backup via something like Backblaze be sufficient?

[teal estuary]

so unless you can setup at least fully 321 backup of it, i wouldn't recommend running it yourself

backblaze can take care of at least part of it, yes

[lucid echo]

(in addition to 2 local, yeah)

[teal estuary]

3 copies, 2 forms of media, 1 offsite

[lucid echo]

Yep yep

[teal estuary]

if you are storing it on SSDs locally, then you just need a second copy besides backblaze

[lucid echo]

Yeah my NAS is setup along those lines

[teal estuary]

notable that the whole thing is encrypted on the server in the first place, so you dont really need to add a second layer on top of that

[lucid echo]

That was my main question really. Whether or not you need a specific type of offsite

[teal estuary]

no, just dont fuck with this data

im mostly saying, dont go grab a pi, have no backups for it, and hope everything will be fine

[lucid echo]

Makes sense

[teal estuary]

service secuirty wise, dont expose anything you dont need to with the VM, but if you have it behind a firewall and/or reverse proxy, you are probably fine

[lucid echo]

Are you doing anything beyond a simple port forward for exposing it? Any type of vlan?

[half shadow]

You would make my cleaning products way better

[teal estuary]

these things are generally designed to be run on servers that are directly exposed to the internet, and the real attack vector is anything in the service itself, but general network security practices are are good idea

[pliant karma]

lol I use it for school cause yea we were given a google email. Though have to log in through microsofts 365 portal into Canvas. Which they fully transitioned to recently forcing you to set up an authenticator first on your phone before you can log into any of the systems on campus without it no log in for you until it is set up

to be fair they were pushing it 5 months before so you had plenty of time to complete it before the final roll out

[earnest hazel]

hi

[finite cloud]

i did try it once. it took a long time to setup and realized i couldn't access it outside the network so i decommissioned it

[teal estuary]

yea, thats just port forwarding

in my case, i have it behind HAProxy that handles HTTPs, which itself is only exposed on port 80 and 443 to the internet, so nothing expect an HTTPS request to the correct subdomain can touch the vaultwarden server, and those VMs are both on their own firewalled network/vlan that cant access the main networks

[pliant karma]

sms 2fa was an option but that has since been removed so it's either autheticator app or a physical key which I have both so I am chilling

[finite cloud]

you know...thats a good idea. im not using the self host but probably a good idea

[lucid echo]

Oooo HAProxy looks fun

I need something along those lines for some projects I'm working on

[strange elk]

are all of the ltt water bottles steel?

[polar fern]

Yawn.

Back up your data regularly, folks.

[lucid echo]

Better yet, automatic backups

[median idol]

Now that I'm done for the semester for college, I can now see if I can get this done by the weekend or so!

[lucid echo]

Yeah, stainless steel

[strange elk]

Epico

[teal estuary]

and dont forget to do integrity checks, cough cough, zfs scrub, too

and have notifs for drive failure in place too

i may or may not have been missing some of that, and had a drive fail

[heavy dust]

my hair is pissing me off so much

it’s impossible to take care of

[finite cloud]

yeah that happens

[heavy dust]

“yeah that happens”

brother u don’t even know what’s happening

[finite cloud]

""yeah that happens""

[heavy dust]

it’s not just dry

u think u would know u don’t

[finite cloud]

well i cant judge with something to judge

so of course i dont know

[heavy dust]

i’m tellling u my hair DOESNT absorb any water

for it to get dry

[finite cloud]

oh

is your hair made of sand?

[timid meadow]

From what little i know as a white guy, ive always heard from my darker skin friends that hair is a notorious problem in that community. It grows differently or something. Assuming thats him in the pfp

[long briar]

Have you dyed your hair? and How oily is it?

[graceful burrow]

My hair just dense as shit
At least I don't have to worry about balding

Bountiful beards and lush hair is in my future

[heavy dust]

no and no

it’s not just dry

[graceful burrow]

Don't they make shampoo for that

[heavy dust]

it’s just dead

[graceful burrow]

Cut it and start new

[heavy dust]

bro what the hell are u talking abt

[graceful burrow]

Moisturizing shampoo

[heavy dust]

i did

[graceful burrow]

Based

[heavy dust]

that makes ur hair worse and what will it do if the hair strand itself is dead

[graceful burrow]

Idk my hair doesn't suck

[heavy dust]

i’m telling you my hair doesn’t absorb any products

[graceful burrow]

👨‍🦲

[long briar]

wait does it just crack?

[heavy dust]

it’s supposed to be coily but it got fucked up it’s messy and straight

[heavy dust]

i guess so

[long briar]

hm

[heavy dust]

any products isn’t helping i used a bonnet and buzzed to regrowbstill

my hair can’t absorb any products whatsoever it would be dumb to

[long briar]

yea my hair gets oily relatively quickly so I shower every other day

[heavy dust]

it’s putting water in a broken glass

[heavy dust]

it’s because u wash ur hair everyday

[long briar]

it isn't

[heavy dust]

ur just making it worse by washing it every day

[long briar]

ever other means Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, andso on

for me I have to otherwise it gets really oily + I do sports relatively often

[chrome vector]

Daily reminder: There is absolutely no reason to make/buy a full tower case unless they actually put 5.25in bays in it.

[graceful burrow]

Or I'll just do what I want cause it's my money :)

[long briar]

aesthetics are a thing

[chrome vector]

Clunky is an aesthetic?

Without the expandability it's just wasted space

[long briar]

???

Look at H9 flow, O11 XL for bathtub cases

Corsair 1000D for standard cases

[chrome vector]

Oh, I should also say, that includes a shit ton of hard drive bays. 5.25in or hard drive bays for a NAS/Server

[graceful burrow]

Stop harshin people's vibes for no reason

[long briar]

Cooling!!!

I'd be okay with cases with slim disc bays

5.25" is stupid tho

nobody uses them anymore and they're large

[timid meadow]

Nobody except a large majority of homelabbers

[wind pulsar]

I pre-ordered totk hi

[long briar]

then a sheet of plywood will suffice

[timid meadow]

5.25 has all sorts of uses. Hotswap bays, expansion, physical storage

[chrome vector]

I can agree with that. I'm just saying mid-towers can do everything full towers can do if you're not actually using the expandability. And when I say that, I mean the manufacturer. I see way too damn many full tower cases that are just filled with empty space and no expandability

[molten drift]

Space restrictions are a thing

[long briar]

why would you want 5.25 for physical storage...

[lucid echo]

Don't forget those sick wc reservoir bays
I miss those

[timid meadow]

Never hurts to have a couple spare usbs on hand

[molten drift]

Or ash trays sanic.

[median idol]

Saaaaame

[long briar]

Why precisely 5.25 when you can use full width of a full towe case which would be wider than 5.25

Expansion in 5.25 is dead, hotswap depends

[median idol]

[molten drift]

But I'm a big fan of itx not atx despite haveign a open air atx build.

[timid meadow]

Ddr3 ram is arguably dead too, doesnt mean its useless

[lucid echo]

"5.25 is dead" and "5.25 has some fun uses" are not mutually exclusive thoughts

[molten drift]

Hot swap 2.5 drives is a thing

[lucid echo]

Also those sick knob fan controllers that were prone to overheating due to the resistor layout

[long briar]

The one thing I would've been interested in never launched

[molten drift]

Is?

[long briar]

Dell precision T5820 audio interface expansion

https://www.dell.com/community/image/serverpage/image-id/22547i509F6F9A5DFBE243/image-dimensions/2500?v=v2&px=-1

that thing would've been sick but it doesn't exist

[molten drift]

They have 78 in stock...https://www.theserverstore.com/dell-precision-t5820-workstation.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwge2iBhBBEiwAfXDBR9sezCaSEIgJ50xAa91BXBhnrpptc-hFKL2KFzewT-huhwoqI_sAUBoCXcIQAvD_BwE

And now you edit the name..

[long briar]

I edited it a while ago

I always thought those T virus reservoirs looked cool. Used to see those a lot back in the mid 2010s

Y'all remember when a defining feature of a game could just be something as simple as.... You can get off the skateboard this time?

I don't think you guys understand

You can get off your skateboard

[pure olive]

The only thing this does to me is make me hate California even more

[stuck robin]

Hey everybody I want to ask y'all a question I have been offered a decent rig with an rtx 3060 ti 8gb but as a proper LTT fan I know the importance of VRAM so do you guys I can get an rtx 3060 12gb buy exchanging it with a brand new rtx 3060 ti eagle 8gb ?

Preferably an aorus model with three to two fans

[tepid bolt]

If you were a proper LTT fan you'd know a better option would be to get a 6700xt instead

[night heron]

6700xt > 3060ti > 3060

[shrewd lynx]

how can anyone understand those names is beyond me

why cant it just be name/tier/generation like intel

RTX 7 Gen5?

[night heron]

they are named by tier and generation

[leaden gale]

As if Intel's naming scheme is any less complicated

[shrewd lynx]

its confusing for the average person

[night heron]

i agree but they are named exactly how you described

[leaden gale]

And the current GPU naming scheme is not that complicated, hell, it's actually less complicated than fucking laptop CPUs now

[night heron]

the 6 in 6700xt denotes its generation and the 700xt is the tier of card

[shrewd lynx]

a regular person wont know that

[night heron]

that's true but there isnt very much you can do about it

[shrewd lynx]

where as if you present them with an idk RTX 3/5/7/9 gen whatever they'll propably understand it more

[night heron]

not really

[shrewd lynx]

i mean maybe im not getting something because i dont know anything about graphics cards

[night heron]

intel cpus are named the exact same way, 13900k, 13 = generation, 900k = tier

[wide raft]

that's also the reason there is people here to ask those type of questions too.

[jaunty compass]

watercooling reservoir go brr

[leaden gale]

I think I get what they're talking about now. They're talking about Intel's marketing terms

[shrewd lynx]

wait are there multiple variants of the same chip within the same generation

[night heron]

there are with intel yes

[shrewd lynx]

why 😭

[leaden gale]

You know how fucking EVERY listing for common prebuilts and laptops just say some dumb shit like "13th Gen Intel Core i7"

[night heron]

13900ks, 13900k, 13900kf, 13900f, 13900, 13900t, and i think there are a couple more

[leaden gale]

Or worse, just say "Intel Core i7" or "Ryzen 7"

[shrewd lynx]

why the dumb letters

[wide raft]

AMD CPU names is what confuses me.

[leaden gale]

Those dumb letters mean things

[shrewd lynx]

just say it, like idk Core i9 13th gen and Core i9 13th gen (without integrated graphics)

[night heron]

k = overclocking is unlocked
f = does not have integrated graphics
kf = overclocking enabled and does not have graphics

[leaden gale]

AMD CPU naming isn't hard on desktop. It's on laptop where it gets complicated, but no less complicated than Intel's laptop model numbers

[wide raft]

Use to intel i guess is what you could say.

[night heron]

ks = cpu for rich people with nothing better to spend money on

which is why it has a meme name of ks = keep spending

t and s are names for lower powered versions, it's very convoluted

throw in the fact that with basically every facet of technology the manufacturers lie and it's impossible to know what youre buying unless you research and learn what everything means

[leaden gale]

Nope, because this is why people blindly buy shit that's not actually as good as they think, because all they see are "Core i7" or "Ryzen 7" without paying attention to generation and model, which actually dictate how it will perform

[gilded quest]

KS isn't even part of Intel employee discount program
😭

[shrewd lynx]

also arent they dropping the i

[night heron]

display and audio manufacturers are especially notorious for lying

[leaden gale]

So I've heard said, I think it's a boneheaded move, but we'll see

[shrewd lynx]

i hate display names

[night heron]

they just slap 1ms response time on every box and boast about color vibrancy bullshit or whatever when neither is true

[gilded quest]

Dell S2721DGF gang

[shrewd lynx]

like while im not an apple fanboy they'll do something like Studio Display or Pro Display XDR not Samsung BRHEVRHRB7!4€;7483763)HEBBFUE

[gilded quest]

dell is the best

[night heron]

the random letters and numbers do have meaning but are meaningless if you dont know

[shrewd lynx]

what are those squares at the bottom

[gilded quest]

good question
window management layouts?

[night heron]

whereas names like "samsung odyssey g7" are more consumer palatable but literally mean nothing

[shrewd lynx]

also tbh why are all pc monitors ugly

[gilded quest]

I'll take "ugly" over apple pricing

[shrewd lynx]

fair

[night heron]

the picture quality or the design of the monitor shell itself

[gilded quest]

my dells look fine

[shrewd lynx]

the design tho ofc everyone likes different things

[night heron]

i think a lot of people agree that we're getting really bored of gamer styling on things

[shrewd lynx]

i think the pro display whatever is peak monitor design bc of those cool trypophobic holes

they look scary tho, as if it was alive or smth

[night heron]

cheese grater monitor

[cursive condor]

sup

[night heron]

apple was supposed to release a new 27" monitor but it's been shoved under the rug

it really disappoints me because i was excited to see it, hopefully it's just delayed and not scrapped entirely

[shrewd lynx]

apple should relase a basic monitor for like 400ish

like i want the design but i dont need the features

[long briar]

they did and nobody bought it

[shrewd lynx]

im obsessed with form over function 😭

[leaden gale]

Why do that when you can sell Pro Display XDRs

[night heron]

lame

[shrewd lynx]

when

[shrewd lynx]

i use my things for really basic things so i can trade off lots of things in exchange for design

[long briar]

like 2008

or 2012 idk it was tb2

[fossil parrot]

anyone knows how much linus spent on cs:go? hours*

[night heron]

are you talking about the 1440p thunderbolt display?

[long briar]

nvm that was not 400 bucks

[cursive condor]

bruh

[night heron]

yeah that was $1350 in today's money lul

[cursive condor]

f this slow mo timer who was this idea

[long briar]

all of them, cinema display and thag one

[shrewd lynx]

right like i hate this

[cursive condor]

star platinum is my fav

[shrewd lynx]

no he uses macOS

[old solar]

anyone have this when playing the last of us on pc?

[molten drift]

I've never played tlou on PC sorry

[old solar]

Yeah not sure how to make this go away its just there constantly

[buoyant sphinx]

I'm not sure in which room to do it but I guess this one would be the best:
I just wanted to say Hi as a new member here 👋

[full fossil]

Which one should I get?

• MSI Thin GF63 GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, Intel Core i5-12450H, 15.6", 16 GB DDR4, 512 GB SSD

OR

• Acer Nitro 5 GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, Intel Core i5-12500H, 15.6", 16 GB DDR5, 512 GB SSD

Both are $999 before taxes and fees.

[wind pulsar]

@stark ether Just out of curiosity, ever considered also making a recommendation article or tier list or whatever for UPS?

[wind pulsar]

In terms of performance the 12500H, it's fine to go with DDR4 ram

[hot garden]

I would agree, also Hi, hi I am jonah and I joined this server yesterday 🙂

[wispy marsh]

Hello, I know no english

Hey, Luke is here!

Pixel Tablet is 499 and comes with dock

thats a great price tbh

[polar fern]

all these 16 gig ram 512 gig ssd. why not 24 gig 1 tb

make them actually useable

[small zephyr]

i swear phone games are getting worse as tv

[polar fern]

not as bad as this segue to our sponsor

[small zephyr]

1 minute play 1 minute unskippable adds to be "allowed" to be played, and no wifi bullshit doesnt work on most anymore and worse theese fucks dont even give an option to buy an add remover

like fuck you add capitalism....

[shrewd lynx]

[small zephyr]

and if theres an add remover its like 10-20 bucks\

[shrewd lynx]

apple arcade if you can

[wispy marsh]

I haven't had a mobile game like that in ages

Then again, I exclusively play paid games and apple arcade

[forest valve]

Ride for my Dawgs, lie for my Dawgs, die for my dawgs

[shrewd lynx]

its great

no ads or purchases and theyre high quality and its only 5 dollars

[forest valve]

Lucky patcher is my best friend

Fuck ads

I figured out how to block Microsoft solitaire ads too for free using pihole

[full fossil]

This is the most suburban living thing I’ve ever read

[small zephyr]

apple eco system is even worse as adds

[shrewd lynx]

how

[forest valve]

Microsoft Solitaire wants you to pay a monthly fee or something for no ads lol

With my solution it just shows a solitaire placeholder image where the ads usually are and no video ads play

[small zephyr]

cuz stuff that should be already in the box of the fucking phones is an "accessories" you need to buy

[wispy marsh]

Nope

[small zephyr]

like the fucking charger or basicly being forced to buy air pods

[wispy marsh]

Your expectations is just another DLC in the eyes of the shareholder

Fuck major shareholders

[fair cloak]

are attributes in C# just a way to get better intellisense?

[small zephyr]

sure you can use an dongle but that is stupid, and in my experience non apple wireless earbuds tend to have connectivity issues on iphones

Good song

[full fossil]

Tbh I’m still using chargers from my 5C
What pisses me off is they give you a C to lightning cable
most people didn’t have type c bricks at the start

[small zephyr]

like android phones dont have a problem with thoose wireless buds but apple got problems

[wispy marsh]

Earbuds you say

Wireless IEM bands not counted?

[full fossil]

Do they?
Been using the same pair of galaxy buds on my iphones for 3 years now

[forest valve]

My earballs hurt

[polar fern]

what kinda problems?

[full fossil]

In fact, my airpods shit the bed within months, plus they didn’t fit my ears at all

[forest valve]

I got the OnePlus Nord buds for my pixel 7

[small zephyr]

like conectivty issues sometimes no soudn and stuff cuz they loose conection and needa reconnect

[forest valve]

$40 lol and they work fine

[polar fern]

@full fossil what do you mean? what you do to them?

[small zephyr]

and im sure its not the earbuds since they work with every not iphone product perfectly fine without any conectivity issues

[forest valve]

Yea where you putting those earbuds

[stray apex]

My android phone definitely has these issues

[forest valve]

Kinda sus

[fossil frost]

yay, banned from nextdoor again 😄

[forest valve]

Isn't that an app to collaborate with neighbors?

What did you do?

[fossil frost]

turns out that pointing out that somebody is being super racist, on their super racist post, is against the rules somehow

[full fossil]

I didn’t do anything
They just stopped working entirely one day
Went back to my galaxy buds instead

I take care of my stuff, still have a 5c and the lightning cables I got with it in a drawer

[wispy marsh]

Nice

[forest valve]

You got an onlyfeetz?

[wispy marsh]

I'm waiting for the 8800XT or 9800XT

I’m waiting for the picometer silicon

YouTube auto is at 144p
I switch to higher picture quality
It immediately goes to 1440p on my 1080p phone
Thanks Google

[full fossil]

Mine refuses to remember I want 144p

Always jumps it back up to 720

[night heron]

i hate when youtube randomly decides to switch to 480p on my apple tv

it happens very very infrequently thankfully

[full fossil]

Does apple tv have steam link?

[night heron]

i dont know

[full fossil]

Yea
I’m using 650 with a 5700x and 6700 10G

Granted I don’t overclock, but even at stress test loads I barely hit 350W

Just remember to not skimp on PSUs

"100% natural ingredients" IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS

if i were a worm

[barren galleon]

Ouch

[frank cypress]

Quick Question: Back in my days of working at HP they had a monitor on a stand that had built-in support for 360 rotation and it sensed when you rotated it and sent a signal to windows (then Vista) to let it know and auto-rotate your display accordingly. does anything like that exist on modern displays?

[full fossil]

guys is 64 gigs too much for flashing an OS

that imma use everyday

[gilded quest]

no its fine
64gb flash drives are dirt cheap these days

[full fossil]

okay ty

so all data that i download gets on the hard drie or the usb?

[frank cypress]

assuming you're installing a linux distro, you use something like rufus to write the iso to usb, then boot from the usb and install to hdd/ssd.

[silent wolf]

are Ikea desks good? I heard they break easily and are horrible

[full fossil]

yep it is a linux distro

[fossil frost]

64gb usb drive is the new 8gb usb drive, they cost nothing

[full fossil]

ofc i do the live boot

[jolly sonnet]

imma bout to graduate hs yall

im nervous ngl.

[full fossil]

yeaaaaa

[fossil frost]

they are fine, especially for the cheap cost, been using mine for 3 years now, and the only issue with it is that i accidentally put a huge slice in the top of the desk with a box cutter blade

[full fossil]

congrats man

[jolly sonnet]

thx..

[fossil frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrxI_euTX4A

[silent wolf]

I need a sturdy desk that will last and money is not an issue. recommendations?

[fossil frost]

this is what im using.. its not the best, its not the fanciest, but, it fits 3x 24" monitors, and ive fell off a ladder onto it and its been fine https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/malm-desk-white-60214159/

[frank cypress]

theres mats for that.. lttstore, and GN as well. no more knife holes 😉

[silent wolf]

is the karlby the best one?

[fossil frost]

never fell off a ladder onto that one, so i cant say

[silent wolf]

but how do i make sure it wont slide? If I use desk risers

[graceful burrow]

Coat the bottom in a rubberizer

[fossil frost]

my monitors are VHB taped to the desk, and i have a full desk width mouse pad

[chrome vector]

LTT STREAM

[silent wolf]

do the square part of ikea desk risers go on the desk or t he drawer?

[fossil frost]

something tells me that this monitor arm isnt going to do good things to a desk with 3x 24" monitors on it... https://www.amazon.co.uk/PUTORSEN®-Triple-Monitor-Stand-Screens/dp/B0757HN12P

[frank cypress]

thats nearly identical to mine (mine's a double though, not 3) and the thing itself weighs a heck of a lot so yeah you're probably right unless you get a good solid hardwood.

[chrome vector]

he's resuming the selected, LTT stream is a go

[formal pumice]

wan show

[zenith sorrel]

wtf is happening on LTT youtube?

[west flume]

the hell just happened

[chrome vector]

@zenith sorrel Google IO livestream

[tight rose]

they started trhe wrong stream lol

[chrome vector]

They accidentally didnt go live, they just figured it out

[strong mantle]

They have to restart the stream

[frigid cedar]

hmm sponsored stream?

[zenith sorrel]

they where live!

[chrome vector]

yeah they're fixing it now, watching on floatplane

[west flume]

no

[strong mantle]

They didnt start the correct livestream

[chrome vector]

They're about to go back live. They should be live again now on YT

[zenith sorrel]

i was watching on youtube

[woeful kayak]

we got the shortest WAN show in a while

seems like the age of 4h long wan show is gone

[gaunt gale]

epic

[fossil dirge]

Android is a lot better than iOS right?

[fossil frost]

rather than joining in this conversation, im gonna sit on the sidelines for this particular fight

[fossil dirge]

I’m not debating I just want to make sure which OS is better

[stray apex]

They're basically the same

[west flume]

android can sideload apps, iOS cant yet.. clear winner imo ngl tbh

[fossil frost]

its entirely subjective, they both have positives and negatives, and at this point its more or less personal preference

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

[stray apex]

If you don't already know what the differences are

The odds of you caring about the differences are negligible

[fossil dirge]

So it wouldn’t matter if it’s iOS or Android they’re both great OSs which is true

[west flume]

i couldnt be bothered.. just waiting on the sweet sweet eu regulations to hit apple

[fossil frost]

apple are gonna stick to the letter of the law, they will allow it in EU countries, when you verify you are with an EU carrier, and allow it nowhere else at all

[silent wolf]

What is the best mouse pad of all time. No budget, just facts.

[west flume]

good thing i live in the eu... i can already taste revanced 🤤

[fossil dirge]

Yeah Apple is getting hit hard on EU regulations

[wary acorn]

How?

They gotta change the port, that don't seem like such a big deal to me

[west flume]

it is tho

[fossil frost]

forced to drop lightning and adopt usb-c on all devices, forced to allow side loading, and they are going after them for a few more bits too

[frank cypress]

mandatory USB-C ports, must allow sideloading, etc.

[fossil dirge]

Well with the USB-C regulations and for sideloading apps

[wary acorn]

Doesn't seem like much to me, i could'nt care less for sideloading

[frank cypress]

pretty sure apple is just going to make a EU-only SKU too so anyone anywhere else will not get a usb-c port.

[balmy flicker]

Is linus really streaming live, looks pre-recorded

[fossil frost]

the ability to do what you want with your own property, is a HUGE thing for a lot of people

[fossil frost]

wouldnt be surprised if they went portless, and went Qi charging exclusively

[wary acorn]

Idk, can't think of anything off the top of my head what I want on my iphone that I don't already have

[fossil frost]

you are not the other 8 billion people on the planet

[west flume]

i'd want a single cable type to charge all my devices :)

[frank cypress]

isn't wireless charging like 100x slower than even 2ma charging?

[tired glade]

Oh, Google even today

[wary acorn]

Well yes, but I was talking bout sideloading. UsbC is nice

[fossil frost]

no, even my cheapo alarm clock that has a built in Qi charger, is quite fast

[wary acorn]

No idea, but phones sure as hell get really really warm when wireless charging, which (to me) is uncomfortable

[frank cypress]

as riley fires off wattage stats on qi charging on the livestream right after i ask, lol.

[west flume]

dont you want adblock/sponsorblock on your iphone?

[wary acorn]

For what

[fossil dirge]

If you want to download apps for the iPhone you have to use the App Store

[tired glade]

Ads

[west flume]

for blocking ads???

[fossil frost]

some people dont, and thats fine... but... the fact that they dont, shouldnt be an excuse to stop everyone from doing it

[wary acorn]

but where?

[fossil frost]

and to say that "sideloading isnt a thing" because they dont do it... is just fucking stupid and closed minded and ignorant

[tired glade]

Ads are so boring and 10-30s of nothing is not fun

[west flume]

the amount of times ive seen this stupid mrbeast giveaway scam ad is so infuriating, and now youtube is experimenting with blocking adblockers

[wary acorn]

I have an ad blocker on my computer, and since I have a computer I don't watch anything on my phone

[fossil frost]

again, you are not the whole world, just because you dont use it, doesnt mean everybody else should be blocked from doing it

[wary acorn]

Im not saying that

[fossil frost]

giving people the choice to do what they want with their own device, is what it is about... you are still free to not sideload stuff even when other people are

[frank cypress]

I mean, in a pinch you could VPN/proxy your phone to your home and set up an adblocking server on an old pc/rpi to get adblocking anyways.

[last solstice]

You know its time to question your life when the finger that you write stuff with on paper starts to get a bump on it exactly where you hold the pen

[wary acorn]

that would forego sites like youtube where they sometimes just don't play the video when you have an adblocker on

[wary acorn]

time to get an iPad to write digitally

well that wouldn't do anything for the finger so its kinda unrelated

[last solstice]

Still would require me to hold a pen TwT

[wary acorn]

yee I kinda had a single brain cell moment right there

[last solstice]

[tired glade]

Interesting what ads he gets,if it does not annoy him

[last solstice]

BRO I DONT even write english text or writing

[fossil frost]

must enjoy getting loads of ads for stuff they bought yesterday... and are no longer interested in buying

[last solstice]

Its all math and waveforms and drawings of diagrams

[tired glade]

Oh,ads sells you something

[last solstice]

Ads no work cause u block is goated

[tired glade]

I kinda don't even look at the screen when they pup up

[wary acorn]

I don't get ads

I have an adblocker on my computer

[last solstice]

W

[tired glade]

I am mainly on phone,so, you know

[last solstice]

Iphone or android

[wary acorn]

iPhone and MacBook

[last solstice]

Cause on the droid you can install revanced pacher

[wary acorn]

oh that question wasn't for me

[last solstice]

Yes yes :3c

[tired glade]

Android

[last solstice]

So yea would you like to get revanced ?

[tired glade]

That thing was bugging out, I give up

[last solstice]

Reasonable

If you tried a while back

Try again maybe its better now who knows

[tired glade]

It doesn't matter, I barely watch ads support content, anyway

And works apps can be compromised

[last solstice]

Oop makes sense

[tired glade]

Congrats

[dim forge]

If you got root use revanced extended magisk module

It's what I currently use, no issues at all

[tired glade]

Esim,it can break my phone when traveling

[dim forge]

Hmmm how so?

[fossil dirge]

iPhones are great phones

[tired glade]

I have zero clue,but I lost number like that

[fossil dirge]

But Android is lot better

[tired glade]

Esim is a thing for like 7 years

[leaden gale]

That's subjective

[fossil dirge]

No Apple started using eSIM with the newest iPhone

[tired glade]

Oh

[fossil dirge]

True iPhones are good phones as well

[tired glade]

Weirdl, my old phone had esim and that was 5 year old phone

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

[tired glade]

And it happened last summer

[eager venture]

why would i spend 1.8k on a phone,no matter what tech it has in it

i could get a 4090 with that money

[dim forge]

Ooooooo I know what prolly did it, safetynet failed and shit

[stray apex]

how much time do you spend on your phone opposed to gaming?

[dim forge]

Just gotta use universal safetynet fix(displax mod) for it

[fossil dirge]

Yeah iPhones and the Pixel phones are expensive

[tired glade]

It was EU number and it happened in Singapore

[shut violet]

That seems to be incorrect

[tired glade]

They are mid range now

[eager venture]

not stuff to the point its worth spending money. the only intensive thing i do on my phone is play cod mobile, which works on my iphone xr.

[shut violet]

Xs/xr/11 onwards

[dim forge]

Yea prolly safetynet failed, not advocating trying again cause I get it lol but just saying the fix for that is universal safetynet fix and putting the esim stuff in magisk zygisk

[stray apex]

yeah, and I average like 8 hours a day on my phone, so $1800 would not actually be that much for a device I use so often

[tired glade]

It was company phone, anyway, it was reset and got new number

[uncut axle]

I should play half life on my 3ds already

[eager venture]

and if u can get that same performance with a cheaper phone,why play more

[uncut axle]

(It’s actually possible, you just need to own half life)

[shut violet]

$1800 is a lot of money regardless of whether you use it a lot

[fossil dirge]

I agree

[shrewd lynx]

wagoo wagoo

[stray apex]

What cheap phone has a 7.6 inch display

[burnt minnow]

when's the two year update on the Star Citizen TechLonger?
I want to know the changed opinions of Riley + everyone else on the game
(and if you do make another, perhaps also talk about the people buying into it now more than just the backers in the past?)

[eager venture]

why do u need a 7.6 inch display

[dim forge]

Damnb didn't even realize I have magic eraser on my moto lol

Granted it's cause Google gave me Google 1 for free lol

[stray apex]

Why do you need a display?

[pliant sphinx]

Time for Apple to make uPhone

I'm waiting

[eager venture]

well u need a screen to have a smartphone, but not a 7.6 inch display

[stray apex]

Sure?
Why do tablets exist?

[eager venture]

for people who like them

[pliant sphinx]

Artists, designers

[eager venture]

^

[stray apex]

No, the vast majority of tablets are not ipad pros used for digital art

[pliant sphinx]

I highly doubt they are used for gaming

Not like mobile phones have most of the times better specs and are more practical for it

[stray apex]

Tablets are mainly used for content consumption, which does include gaming

[shut violet]

I have a tv set

[pliant sphinx]

Gaming is not the selling point of iPad, in fact it isn't designed to be gamed on

[stray apex]

Uh, ipad is absolutely designed to be able to run games

[eager venture]

who uses an ipad for gaming

[shut violet]

I don’t use my iPad for gaming

That thing is for night time youtube

[pliant sphinx]

Run games and actually play are different things

[shut violet]

For about 5 mins then I close my eyes and just listen to the audio instead

[pliant sphinx]

Not to mention that tablets in general are made with weaker specs

[stray apex]

Android tablets are

[shut violet]

The lowest model ipad is the best value product Apple make

[stray apex]

Android tablets are also almost irrelevant

[pliant sphinx]

If you want gaming on a portable device you get a gaming phone. Both gaming+more portable

[tired glade]

They still there,looks like market is still wants them

[pliant sphinx]

Or you get a flagship phone

[shut violet]

Gaming on phones or tablets is cringe

[pliant sphinx]

Apple are also. They're tablets.

[tired glade]

Or you fine with 60fps gaming on mid range phone

[shut violet]

Upgrade to a gaming dog

[tired glade]

What I have both and have more time for phone than for pc?

[slate tulip]

Yup! I have a little tablet holder that hangs over my bed - great for using to watch a movie hands free while you cuddle in bed

[fossil dirge]

If you want to game then get a gaming PC

[pliant sphinx]

Apple products- they always weren't the most powerful, cost-effective (for a few excepetions). However, they were always an innovative and premium brand. They were trying to give electronics a soul.

Only a few people understand who certain Apple products are for

[slate tulip]

A gaming PC isn’t good for watching movies in bed though

But i idk what the original topic was about

[stray apex]

Some people think foldables are pointless, ig

[shut violet]

I like gaming tractors

[tired glade]

I don't found them better than having 2 separate devices

[pliant sphinx]

Depends on what your bed setup is
I know setups who have a giant TV on a wall, in a very good angle so you can view from the bed, connected to the PC

[slate tulip]

yeah - I rent. Not putting any money like that into a rental that they benefit from, if I can help it

meanwhile, this little tablet holder was like, $20 on amazon

and no giant TV required

[open shadow]

Apple was actually way behind in innovation and most of the new features have been on android for years although not as polished
Like face unlock or OLED
What they really have going is how well iOS meshes with the hardware making the battery life and overall feel much better than most android phones

[pliant sphinx]

I was just saying, not arguing

[slate tulip]

fair

[pliant sphinx]

Innovation is not always about top notch specs. There are many fields, as you pointed out, software for example. Or design. Apple, in the beginning, tried to be different, than just releasing a product done by a line of engineers but no designer touch.

Btw, I am an Android user.

I just appreciate what Apple was here for as a company. What they turned out to be- is another thing

[open shadow]

When the first few iphones came out they were incredibly innovative but they started to fall off around 2015 i believe

They do make a mean product i will agree

[pliant sphinx]

Ye. I am more talking about Steve Jobs era than the current one

[open shadow]

Its just sad to see the direction they are going now

[tired glade]

Apple is just another hardware/software sellers like many on market, it's not that special

[open shadow]

Oh yeah definitely

Steve jobs was peak apple

[tired glade]

Steve Jobs was master marketing manager,not much more

[pliant sphinx]

We lost him too soon. Maybe he wasn't an engineer, but a very good manager and a visionary

[chrome vector]

My one and only iPhone was from when Steve Jobs was still at Apple

(iPhone 4)

[tired glade]

Apple fired him once and bought him back

[chrome vector]

Fuck the Cookster

[stoic beacon]

So with Google Fi...they're offering the 7a for $250, or the Galaxy S23 for $400. Still seems crazy to not take the S23 deal. Not sure what Google's game is here...do you guys see anything I'm not?

[pliant sphinx]

People who say about him that he was worthless don't understand who he was

[open shadow]

seriously tho how the fuck you make a sleep sensor unrepairable

[tired glade]

Had they announced their silicone?

[tired glade]

I hadn't said that

Marketing is extremely important part of Apple

[pliant sphinx]

Well, it sounded like that. Many can be good managers, but he was an entirely different league. And a visionary too, he was behind the idea of apple being "different" in design and approach

[tired glade]

He wasn't special

[stoic beacon]

Not sure what you mean...I know the 7a is powered by the Tensor G2, but still, for $150 more, you get an S23, with zoom lens, 120hz display, etc.

[tired glade]

Itown Soc for phones

[stoic beacon]

Why would Google offer a Samsung device that outclasses their newest phone for just $150 more?

[tired glade]

Because phones that cheap to make

[stoic beacon]

We're clearly not talking about the same thing.

[tired glade]

I am just old and know every trick they will throw at you

And looking at M2,they will grind their advantages to ground again

Oh,the "vision"

I worked on Apple2, it was interesting thing,but it come and go pretty fast

It's good,but it not jump as from intel Mac to m1

Let's see what it will be on m3

I remember same argument when Apple was jumping on Intel

Let's see,how far it's own engineering leads them

PowerPc wasn't terribly

Let's see,if they will upgrade their workstation Mac with m series

[pliant sphinx]

And high-end laptops too.

[tired glade]

Good for Apple to have enough loyalty in their fans

[slate tulip]

Tbf, we are pretty neat 😛

[tired glade]

It's just another hardware maker on market

Server arm pretty bad

Let's me guess - avg consumer

Invest in risk-v than

Until it blew up

Is Google preconference still going?

[stoic beacon]

I was mostly talking from a hardware standpoint

Samsung's software has massive pros and massive cons

[tired glade]

Not really

[stoic beacon]

But Pixel's track record of exploding glass, call dropping, green screen tints, and disconnecting camera cables is pretty atrocious at this point

So even though Samsung's software can be irritating, their hardware has been rock solid

[green fog]

Hey, ive been waiting a while could someone please help me? With my pc problems. Ive posted it in tech support

[tired glade]

Apple isn't very special,my argument

Oh

[stoic beacon]

I guess it's just up to luck then :/

[stable jolt]

Google video just went down

[tired glade]

Wasn't it a stream?

[inner kettle]

yeah I was watching and got removed in the middle of it 😦

[tall sonnet]

they took it private rip

[lime dock]

Did someone dox something?

[tired glade]

Yea,both Twitch and YouTube are gone

Weren't they sponsored by Google?

[inner kettle]

they do

[stray apex]

they might wanna edit the two streams together or something

[barren yarrow]

Damn why the stream is gone

[stray apex]

there was a problem with the stream initially that got fixed

[barren yarrow]

The second time while im watching first was when his house location got leaked

[stoic beacon]

That's true. Google's hardware failures can be covered with RMAs, but Samsung's software choices can't really be fixed, though Good Lock helps a bunch with that.

So a 7a for $250 and a S23 for $400...you still think the 7a is the right move, despite the lack of a zoom lens, a different refresh rate, etc.?

[stray apex]

What on earth are those prices

[stoic beacon]

Google Fi offerings

[inner kettle]

you're fault then ! 😛

[tired glade]

Is event over or not?

[stray apex]

Does Google Fi do contracts now?

[stoic beacon]

No, they've always done this...they offer really good deals

[lime dock]

Video is now private lol… big oops I guess

[tired glade]

Later today will be recap anyway

[full fossil]

$1800 pixel fold

[stray apex]

A 7a is $500 from Fi or free with 24 months of service

[lime dock]

I’m surprised they don’t have dedicated devices for live, that don’t have anything sensitive on them

[inner kettle]

yeah but pixel fold ! xD

[stoic beacon]

I've always stuck with them for the clean experience, better cameras, and the pixel exclusive features

[full fossil]

It’s gonna sell a total of 63 units

[stoic beacon]

That's true, if they sell it for fairly cheap

[inner kettle]

64 xD Count me in ^^

[stoic beacon]

Since I'm not ever planning on leaving Fi, it makes no difference to me

[full fossil]

Pixel Mold

[full fossil]

Endless money pits lol. Google can take the hit

[stray apex]

250 != 500 or 0

[fallow herald]

What happned to this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAhdL_TKo8c

[stray apex]

Idk where you're getting those from

[stoic beacon]

That's probably for people who are signing up for Fi for the first time. I am an existing customer.

[fallow herald]

Link to LTT video, saw it on schedule yesterday

[inner kettle]

true but as a pixel daily user from day 1, I can't wait to put my hands on their fold. fold devices are really something

[stoic beacon]

Dropped it in the #screenshots channel.

[full fossil]

I bought my dad a Pixel 7 last black friday. He seems to like it. Im personally an iPhone user

[stoic beacon]

@stray apex along with the Galaxy S23 discount

[toxic anchor]

Make sure to drop by the LAN in the mezzanine at comic con!

[stray apex]

That must be your existing customer offer, then
But anyways
S23 is $800 vs $500 for the 5a

[inner kettle]

My first "google" phone was the samsung galaxy nexus ^^

[stoic beacon]

Yup, which is why I was asking about $250 for the 7a and $400 for the S23. Just seemed like an odd choice.

[verbal anchor]

Does anybody know if the vods on floatplane?

[full fossil]

I bought him a Nexus 6P then Iphone xs max now the pixel 7.

He doesnt mind apple or android

[inner kettle]

I run the pixel 6 pro and I will never change to an other manufacturer anymore

[stoic beacon]

I liked my Nexus...didn't actually have any hardware issues with those

[graceful burrow]

The vod from may 5th?

[stray apex]

I hate how glass backs are just a thing now

[inner kettle]

nexus 4 😍

[inner kettle]

yeah and it makes it so heavier ....

[full fossil]

Other major brands built the Nexus phones
Iirc the nexus 6 was a motorolla
Can’t remember if the 4 or 5 was LG and which was HTC

[inner kettle]

4 was LG for sure

[fossil frost]

i dont mind it, except for i have a very very flat and smooth bedside table, so my phone just goes for a walk and then throws its self off a cliff

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, the grip of cases are the main reason I have them anymore

[manic torrent]

ehhh. It's about the intel mobile chips being shitty for the purpose, and if they are going to change, they might as well change to something provably better. and because they control the entire ecosystem, there's no deal breaking reason NOT to change architectures - particularly as they have done it before.

[manic torrent]

generally? yes it is.

Do you mean to say there was much time between a c2q and a 6th gen as there was between 6th gen and now?

soooo what is your point

[plush harness]

Anyone know how to turn off your laptop screen auto dim? ive turned every setting off that its said online and its still doing it while in game... But if I click chrome it brightens then back to game it dims again after 2 seconds... I wanna pull my hair out

[manic torrent]

eh, they are fine. especially the midrange are good

[plush harness]

@tranquil mortaryes but this is every application even discord

its some weird setting that I cannot figure out

[manic torrent]

is it a setting on your laptop specifically? what laptop? what have you tried?

[plush harness]

Everything online, Power settings, changing all my display settings, Its a sager laptop I have everything set to performance since its always plugged in

@median escarpI dont have that option

[echo ridge]

What happened with the Google io stream

[plush harness]

@median escarphow do I do that?

anything with a white background raises the brightness to the appropriate levels and my brightness is maxed out but when i close the app with a white background it dims again

rtx 3060 mobile

@median escarpgonna try it

[full fossil]

why did some new ltt videos get removed?

[pliant sphinx]

13100F and 13400F are unnoticeable jumps from Alder. Not really can be considered an architectural jump.

High-Ends are space heaters. 13700K and 13900K draw that power as they please. So, the 13600K is practically the only actually good powerdraw/performance/price from Raptor, because everything below that is Alder in disguise.

[manic torrent]

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/38dra5/hidden_dynamic_contrast_options_on_a_clevo_w230sd/

[manic torrent]

oh, no question. absolutely not worth changing

[full fossil]

last 2 ltt vids have been removed by uploader

[manic torrent]

it's because they had hidden frames

[full fossil]

no idea what that means

[manic torrent]

single frames grafted in of linus in suggestive poses

[full fossil]

💀

thats wild

[idle nymph]

Bro what

Really?

[plush harness]

@median escarp its still doing it

yes but when i open regedit having that white screen makes the screen bright how it should be.

[plush harness]

I feel like this might be the cause. I uninstall clevo?

[junior mason]

i dont understand windows permission, if i am admin, and am the only user, why can i not delete the file? its not a system file, its in my documents ;-;

[full fossil]

What happened to today's VOD?

[manic torrent]

Imagine my surprise when you don't include the error message or an actual question in this post.

[manic torrent]

literally JUST got posted on FP

[junior mason]

i created a next.js playground project, i now wish to delete it cause i fked it up .-.

i guess the script generating it had different perms to me? confusing!

[full fossil]

They fumbled the stream today

[full fossil]

I really want FP

[manic torrent]

it's because you still have it open

[plush harness]

its still doing it

[manic torrent]

did you disable your webcam?

[plush harness]

yes

[manic torrent]

have you consulted their website and/or documentation?

[plush harness]

yes

[manic torrent]

are you playing in a dark room

[plush harness]

not really no

[junior mason]

alr, maybe the server stayed open or something even after killing my editor, lets try restarting my pc, ||i swear, this isnt the case, but just by the off chance it is, i will listen to any guidence given .-.||

[plush harness]

its only when I bring browser and itll last a few seconds then go back to being dim after closing browser i dont get it

[manic torrent]

it is, particularly because a) there's no other logical reason and b) you haven't stated the error message, as discussed previously.

[green fog]

my pc stutters but there are no fps or internet lag

[plush harness]

@median escarp I dont have adaptive brightness ive looked for that option

[green fog]

how

[manic torrent]

it's because your PC is 20 years old.

[green fog]

i just build it yesterday

[manic torrent]

then perhaps you should have included that, as well as the specs, and what you have done to test/troubleshoot in your question.

[whole island]

is this the right channel to ask for opinions on what gpu i should be purchasing depending on what games i play and monitors i will be using?

[manic torrent]

it's not wrong, but #build-a-pc would generally be the go to

[tulip river]

absolutely livid. my good reliable oculus rift original has stopped working. Still off work cos of cancer so I can't even replace it 😡

[manic torrent]

in any case you probably want a 6650XT

[tulip river]

this disease is more inconvenience than life changing ailment

what am i meant to do now, game on a monitor?

[manic torrent]

like some kind of peasant

[junior mason]

got it, looks like that was the case - thx! just windows usually informs you if a file is open in another program (with the programs name) where as this time it decided to prompt for permission and still denied it saying you do not have the privileges to do so.

[wary acorn]

meditate your anger away

[tulip river]

1080p too 😦

[junior mason]

in any case, the more you know, windows does not always provide with an exact reason why something is occurring. . .
