övermorgon is a normal word in Swedish etc.

how do toy say the day before yesterday in english?

[winged yarrow]

Yeah but that's Haͤrgenflaͤrgen speech

[summer folio]

google gave 0 results for hårgenflårgen speech

[winged yarrow]

Imagine I said it out loud in a mildly mocking tone

Like that's not a word, it's a joke about the absurdity of the swedish language from the perspective of an 'Mur'can

[summer folio]

förrgår = -2 days
igår = -1 day
idag = +/- 0 day(today)
imorgon = +1 day
övermorgon = +2 days

[winged yarrow]

Oh yeah there's a tribe that goes up to 6

Some cultures aren't calendar based, but are more based around the current day and the days before or after

That's how I learned about the word Overmorrow

[summer folio]

haha, I see!

[summer folio]

Canadians?

[slim barn]

Imagine your DoB being 7,300 iglar.

[winged yarrow]

Yes, the ancient native tribe of Canadians have a word in their language that goes to positive or negative 6 days in the future/past

[summer folio]

not even 7400 iglar, like do you even BoD brother?

[winged yarrow]

Imagine not sharing birthdays or holidays because your culture is all about living in the moment

[summer folio]

I can imagine Riley doing this somehow

[summer folio]

How did you decrypt it meant Day of Birth?

[winged yarrow]

wym?

[summer folio]

What about Samsungs* Smarttags*?

[summer folio]

never heard DoB beford

[hollow pulsar]

Date of Birth?

[summer folio]

apparently

[winged yarrow]

Ah, it's commonly used here on ID cards and etc

[hollow pulsar]

I have no idea how to solve the airtag stalking thing..

"Unknown tracker detected".
Kidnappers: She's got some kind of tracking device. Find it and ditch it!

[winged yarrow]

Are you swedish? Do you use the word "Födelsedatum" on your driver's license?

[winged yarrow]

Step 1: Follow Apple's Guidelines on not being tracked by unwanted airtags.
Step 2: Profit

[summer folio]

My passport says "Födelsedatum/Date of birth" indeed.

[summer folio]

There used to be a service called lociloci,
all you needed to do was to get the phone-number to message "Yes" to a number.

& then you could forever triangulate the persons phone location in real time. No Data or knowledge for the tracked person needed.

[winged yarrow]

Yeah, so over here we'll just use DOB. Almost everything on the license is shortened/abbreviated.

[summer folio]

It was great, I could avoid all my exes & knew exactly when my friends were in town.

[crystal pike]

Well, congrats to Microsoft I guess

[molten drift]

The UK and eu are different

[crystal pike]

The uk is under the eu if im not mistaken

[molten drift]

Why did you post me the link of the article I posted?

[stable birch]

GamePass is going to get even better.

[summer folio]

So Activision can buy blizzard in EU, But in UK Blizzard will forever be it's own company, Roger

[stable birch]

no paywall for others.

[summer folio]

No, UK left EU.

[crystal pike]

If they make it a gamepass exclusive then its over ig for cod players and other games

[summer folio]

UK is just a random island in Europe now

[wary canyon]

Sniper Elite V2 (Original, not the Remaster) keeps crashing after the logos anytime I try to boot it up

[crystal pike]

Prob missing some drivers

[wary canyon]

Which ones?

[crystal pike]

You have to figure that out because idk

[summer folio]

If I have bought a game,
does the law "allow" me to pirate the game then?

[full fossil]

If you still own the license, eg own the disk or whatever then technically yes

But also no

Like it's definitely okay to rip them, as long as for your own personal use, but "pirating" especially cracking is still against the law in most places

[summer folio]

What if I have GamePass

[lucid echo]

US Courts have ruled that downloading a pirated game is not illegal.
The illegal bit is actively sharing/uploading that pirated game with others, which more-or-less is an essential component to torrenting

[full fossil]

Then you just get it through gamepass....

[summer folio]

I forgot my email adress I pay game pass for

[full fossil]

In the UK even just downloading is illegal

Then cancel the payment and make a new account

[summer folio]

how

[full fossil]

Just tell your bank... You can put a stop on any payment

[summer folio]

Customer support costs money

[full fossil]

Contact ms support, explain to them and they will help you recover the account using your payment details

[summer folio]

Do I contact US support team or Europe?
I made a US account because that was cheaper

Think I picked random street as adress

[full fossil]

Uh... Usually you would contact the support on the region you are registered in... But either should be able to help

[summer folio]

[pure olive]

Goodbye build a pc I guess

[summer folio]

wrong channel?

[pure olive]

No build a pc is a forum now ig

[modest plover]

they changed it to a forum channel

[pure olive]

It’s bullshit. It’s gonna get like no use

[summer folio]

what are you guys talking about

[modest plover]

#1106613567966429224

its now a forum, it used to be a chat channel and was very useful

[pure olive]

Yeah

[summer folio]

Oh, it became like #1027757333117415424

[pure olive]

I loved chatting in there damn it

[modest plover]

yeah

[summer folio]

just use any other channel

[modest plover]

It was genuinely very helpful towards me, atleast I felt like it

[pure olive]

But at least it’s sponsored by cablemod now

[summer folio]

like #public-chat or #tech-chat-1

[pure olive]

It won’t be the same

[summer folio]

Why?

[shrewd lynx]

kringe

[pure olive]

My group of friends were active in there and almost unanimously are boycotting ltt now

[summer folio]

Weird, tell them to hang in #audio-tech instead

It's where all the gold plated digital cables gives better sound people hang around

[shrewd lynx]

thats harrassment?

[modest plover]

using signal rgb can I also change the colors of each "block" of ram?

[summer folio]

pics or it didn't happent!

[small zephyr]

🤨 lets see if i get scammed or not i ordered some stuff like ws2812 leds and an genshin impact figure xD

lets see if they arive

[summer folio]

from newegg? Yeah, probably not

[hazy parrot]

Abandoned signal. Poor individual key interface with presets.

Back to macro key RGB and everything off

[summer folio]

[small zephyr]

nah i ordered on temu prob worse as newegg xD

[modest plover]

huh, wdym?

[small zephyr]

signal rgb is garbage as long they wont start supporting amd gpu's

[hazy parrot]

Say you use a preset, well, if you want your macro keys individually illuminated between games, and workflows, it’s a pain in the ass or most the time just doesn’t work

[small zephyr]

even fucking icue supports my 6650xt but signal rgb is biased af in terms of nvivida or something

[modest plover]

oh no

I just wanna make everything inside my case like half cyan half purple thing

[hazy parrot]

Ah, well. It will work for that and then some

Signal is great if you don’t want peripherals in sync

[opal spindle]

Is the #off-topic channel hidden for everyone else?

[modest plover]

nope

[modest plover]

what if you want them in sync?

[shrewd lynx]

pingd you

[hazy parrot]

Well, you have to suffer with a very poor interface for gaming specific or macro specific binds (let alone having to pay money on subscriptions to use macro)

[opal spindle]

But, yeah - I could tag it, but I couldn't see it until ya pinged me.

[modest plover]

Oh wow

[hazy parrot]

It’s very hard to justify having 2 different programs running at once taking system bandwidth that try to do the same thing

[modest plover]

you know any poor interfaced programs that can do it tho? xD

[hazy parrot]

Like I said, If you don’t care for your WASD/QWER keys lit up

Or your macro / hyper shift keys

It’s great, but I like macro lighting more than pretty lighting

And the sub model is brutal. I have a modified HOSTS file to block ads and it still has them

[modest plover]

LMFAOOO

I mean, it doesn't really have to be that hard tho, I guess just including a few bluetooth remotes or smth

[hazy parrot]

I wanted signal to be what it promised to be, but it’s interface is bad. And for my peripherals, you can’t have it control lighting WITHOUT letting it murder your onboard macros

It’s like it’s trying to shoehorn you into the sub. Like shit, if they had a $50 lifetime thing

Sure I’d buy it, but they’d rather sell you a month by month sub

[finite cloud]

You might not have it in your channel lists

[hollow pulsar]

Are you sure you don't have the "Other" category minimized?

[finite cloud]

Click the browse channels button

[grim raptor]

there is a toggle, show all channels

[modest plover]

gah damn

everyone wants and needs moeny these days ig, but how much is that sub anyway?

[opal spindle]

It minimized anything that was already read.

So yeah, @hollow pulsar was on the money for this one. Pure user error on my end.

[hollow pulsar]

I've had it happen to me once or twice before. 🙂

[opal spindle]

Thanks for helping, peeps. Guess those three hours of sleep got to me 🤣

[finite cloud]

No worries, happens to us all

[summer folio]

Read channels usually hidden no?

[opal spindle]

I recently futzed around with some stuff and yeah, it ended up being that.

[hazy parrot]

$7 a month or $4 a month if you buy a year

[modest plover]

yeah no, wtf

[hazy parrot]

Yep. Hence my uhh, attitude towards signal

[modest plover]

i want a way to get cheap games from a site like kinguin, should i get from kingpin or are there any other trust worthy/cheaper site?

[winged yarrow]

I usually look at cheapdigital first to compare

It's an aggregate site that includes kinguin

[graceful burrow]

We can't talk about Grey market key sellers here

[winged yarrow]

oh really?

[calm sequoia]

Anyone have any experience with Chargers and Cables from Nimble?

[polar fern]

No

I heard of them tho

[vapid smelt]

They are too nimble I can't catch him

[timid spoke]

That was a good read.

[calm sequoia]

I gotta buy some new cables, trying not to go with Anker.

I see no stories about the Nimble ones catching fire

[timid spoke]

Anyway, I asked Chat GPT to write an LTT script where a new GPU is able to wash and fold laundry and cook dinner. It's hilarious.

Luke: (jaw dropped) No way! Did that GPU just fold those clothes?

Linus: (proudly) You bet it did! With its immense computational power, this GPU can process algorithms that analyze clothing shapes and patterns, allowing it to fold laundry with unrivaled precision.

[calm sequoia]

Needs more segues

[timid spoke]

😆

It produced what I can only imagine as a 30-60 second video.

[vapid smelt]

30-06 is a very powerful round

[long briar]

what if you use it offline only (what I do with my ultrawide now, a clock + picture frame)

[timid spoke]

It may not be that long. I'm not one for know script lengths

[long briar]

LMAO discord channel sponsored

[full fossil]

guys what do i do if im gonna spend 5 hours on a bus?

[full fossil]

youtube or games or music

[fossil frost]

go somewhere 5 hours away from where you are now

[polar fern]

@timid spoke there are a ton of folks like that on various mastodon instances - its kind of like a non-stop convention with so many intelligent voices . very refrshing.

[full fossil]

[polar fern]

folks using mastodon expecting a stream of dopamine inducing posts will be left wanting. i see it as a pretty decent filter.

[winged yarrow]

I once went across the country (twice) on the greyhound which was about a 3 day trip from south Texas to Seattle. My recommendation: Keep a battery pack for your phone, and download videos in advance. Make sure you have headphones and enjoy a good movie or two or five and some music. If you have any books you'd like to read it's the perfect time. You can also always look out the window to watch the scenery, draw on a piece of paper, or sleep.

Alternatively, you could bring a laptop and try writing or dev work, but it's dodgy with the lack of space in the seats. That's really only applicable if you're in a plane first class imo

[full fossil]

thank you 🙂 i have already installed some podcasts and some music but damn movies are a good idea

[winged yarrow]

Movies are the best imo but podcasts can be really good as well

Netflix lets you download the videos as well so you could watch a good couple episodes of Seinfeld

I think you can download youtube videos too

So you could get like one of those multi-hour comprehensive analyses of Shrek 2

Although, I'd recommend the John Wick series since it's got higher quality layers than Shrek.

[polar fern]

shrek is such brain cell destroying garbage

even puss in boots knew

he went to find his own franchise and it was good

[winged yarrow]

What about the phrase "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" is brain cell destroying garbage?

[polar fern]

ee

[winged yarrow]

It's pure enlightenment. Om Mani Padme Hum level of introspection

[full fossil]

I dunno that first puss in boots movie exists

[winged yarrow]

I can't remember what it was about

But this most recent one was pretty good

[polar fern]

[winged yarrow]

If I'm not sleeping or playing Roblox with TikTok on the side I simply must be dead.

[molten drift]

I have never used tik tok. And last time I played Roblox it was advertised like IMVU on addicting games .com before they got bought by Nickelodeon

[full fossil]

Humpty dumpty is a two faced bitch

[winged yarrow]

Ohhh okay I remember it then lmao

Which is wild because they had Humpty Dumpty in Shrek 2 the Videogame for the PS2

what a character evolution

[winged yarrow]

I played Roblox as a kid, it's better than IMVU imo since it's essentially just a game engine

Sort of like how Fortnite is becoming it's own game platform

[molten drift]

I wasn't comparing it to IMVU....

[winged yarrow]

Oh I gotcha

[molten drift]

I was giving a time reference

[winged yarrow]

Yeah, I get it now lol Windows Vista/7 era

[polar fern]

vista, glad i misses that

[molten drift]

Yes back when I was in my teens

[polar fern]

went from xp to 7

[still light]

That would be a good jump

[winged yarrow]

Same although I left my teens during Win8 ish

[polar fern]

hay suzi! how are ye?

[still light]

I went from windows 95 to windows 11. What a wild ride it's been. I always hear about Vista being bad.

[winged yarrow]

vista was ok

[still light]

I kid. I've been there thru them all. Yea Vista was FINE but it wasn't XP

[polar fern]

i used vista a few times and it was gross

[karmic flame]

I still have my windows me disc

[worn carbon]

Imagine if like windows had like more DLC, other then home and pro

[median idol]

I've never had much of a problem with Me back when it was relevant. Though NGL in the retro computing community, we use Windows 98SE over Me since with being able to boot into DOS mode on 98SE and having good game compatibility from the early 90s - early 2000s, it sort of makes Me kind of pointless even for a Windows DirectX 8 rig IMO.

[karmic flame]

But the disc is shiny

[median idol]

Windows 95 I see being a good option for an in-betweener for later DOS - early Windows games on Socket 7 systems though again, W98SE sort of does that too but will probably be more snappier to run on 95 than 98SE on Pentium MMX build.

[slate moon]

Bought a 4090 just for me to use it for project zomboid 🗣️

[molten drift]

I'm so mentally broken by Amazon selling used booster boxes of magic cards from.their warehouse dept. How do you use and return a box of booster packs.

[slate moon]

A cpu intensive game

[molten drift]

Is Bob there too?

[slate agate]

could always toss an amd k6-2+ or 3+ in a socket 7 system

those worked great for 98/me

[vapid crown]

When did they change the biuld-a-pc channel to the forum layout?

[gilded quest]

Today.

[long briar]

My W95 disc wasn't like that 😠

but yes I get that ME was a special edition

[acoustic pond]

oh you mean the Mistake Edition? lol

[long briar]

yea Windows ME

[acoustic pond]

I remember using Me back in 2000, it was a pain and I finally went back to Windows 2000 a year later, so much more stable

[long briar]

2000 came after me tho?

[fossil frost]

anybody else notice there has never been any real replacement for last.fm in the music recommendation space? spotify knows everything i listen to, but, its recommendations are 1. hidden. 2. shit..

[willow patrol]

good budget build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bjZ93y

[acoustic pond]

ME came out 7 months after 2000

[fossil frost]

noope, side by side.. me and 2k were the last 2 versions of windows that were not merged... XP was the first one where they build consumer windows on NT

[willow patrol]

just the barebones will add more in future

[acoustic pond]

Windows ME was suppose to be for just home users where Windows 2000 was built on NT and meant for businesses

[long briar]

yea that's what I remembered?

Guess I remembered wrong

ME was still on dos while 2000 was nt

[acoustic pond]

yea ME was actually the last to have MS DOS

[long briar]

2000 was also msdos right

given it came before ME apparently

wait it all makes sense nvm

[fossil frost]

ME wasnt a bad OS, it was just sluggish compared to NT/2k. i remember when i finally switched from ME to 2k at home, and the build time for a small project i was working on went from over a minute, to less than a second, because of the drastically different HDD access management between ME and 2k

[fossil frost]

no, 2000 was NT, and has never had anything to do with dos

[acoustic pond]

^

[long briar]

yeayea

I remmebered ME was dos and 2000 was NT, but since NT is newer I thought 2000 came after me

[acoustic pond]

Yea its really not fair to compare ME and 2000 since 2000 is a lot faster compared to ME because microsoft figured at the time hey its home users all they care about is checking emails and surfing the web

NT is not newer at this time, its been around since the early 90s?

Yea Windows NT came out in 93

[long briar]

MSDOS started in 80s tho

[acoustic pond]

but was marketed only at businesses due to its advance features and high price tag

[fossil frost]

then XP merged win32k into NT kernel space, and then made a consumer OS based on their business OS, making their development life cycle easier, giving more features to business and home users, and everything just went better

[acoustic pond]

Yes but NT and MSDOS were developed separately until WinXP

[acoustic pond]

yea lot of people dont realize how big a deal XP was when it first came out

[slim barn]

Vista is still the best OS. Fight me.

[acoustic pond]

low tier bait, try harder

[long briar]

Vista was goodn't after its service packs

W7 was the reason vista failed... oh and slow hardware

[acoustic pond]

The problem with Vista was people trying to run it on 10 year old Hardware at the time

[fossil frost]

MS practically threw away ME, except for win32k.. and "simply" ported win32k to be a driver for NT 5.0, making everything better

[acoustic pond]

ME didnt even last 4 years if that? Since XP literally came out a year after ME

[long briar]

sooo what's the point of Windows server now

[fossil frost]

Vista's problem was that XP would run on a toaster, and people wanted all the nice new shiny features of vista, to do the same

[acoustic pond]

to be a server?

[long briar]

Can't you streamline it into Windows pro

[acoustic pond]

well that and XP had been out for 6 years when Vista finally came out, XP was around too long

[fossil frost]

generally it doesnt have a GUI, you boot into powershell.. you can have a GUI version, but most stuff is turned off that doesnt need to be on a server

[acoustic pond]

You can but Windows Server is optimized for server enviroments, both are similar but not the same

[long briar]

Like what I'm asking is, couldn't you just select windows server and have it install whatever the user chooses?

actually nvm it's impractical

[acoustic pond]

can you clarify?

[fossil frost]

you can BLOAT windows server edition into windows pro yes... and technically, you could turn a bunch of stuff off in win pro, and change a load of options and make it windows server, but its easier to just use the correct installer which does all of that by default

[long briar]

this

[acoustic pond]

another difference are CAL licenses for Windows Server aka how many people can login a windows server at the same time

[dreamy rose]

why the hell would anybody use Windows Server

[acoustic pond]

Depends on the use case but Linux is normally a lot better compared to Windows Server

[fossil frost]

because its very good at its job... and rather than dismissing an entire usecase because of bias, people choose the best tool for the job

[acoustic pond]

example use case is on perm sharepoint or using MS SQL

[slim barn]

Because they have servers and need windows. Like myself.

[acoustic pond]

Im bias on linux but Windows Server does has its place

[long briar]

oh yea while we're here is there a better hypervisor than esxi I should consider?

[acoustic pond]

proxmox is one

Windows Hyper V server is good too

[long briar]

K

[slim barn]

Another vote for proxmox.

[dreamy rose]

0.5% of the time having sluggish NT over Linux would be necessary. same for Desktop users

[long briar]

.5% of the time you make any good points

cmon man

[acoustic pond]

its not fair to call NT sluggish when you run it on trash hardware, Linux can be sluggish too depending on the distro and hardware its on

[fossil frost]

its less than that, they are about 12 and have absolutely no idea how the world works, and just regurgitate propaganda they dont understand

[long briar]

no he's just a known troll at this point

[acoustic pond]

oh nice

some trash tier trolling

[dreamy rose]

NT is slow and bloated.

[long briar]

fair enough. I swear he wasn't like this before? I used to have a diff account here with 80k before I decided to make it a private account

[acoustic pond]

mean you going to back up this claim or we going to leave it at this?

[slim barn]

I'll take that .5 sluggishness over trying to get everything I use to run on Linux.

[long briar]

ableton on linux!!!

[fossil frost]

no, they wont back it up, they will just keep spewing out bollocks until we get bored and give up

[dreamy rose]

have you ever seen Linux? it speaks for itself.

[fossil frost]

^^ see what i mean

[acoustic pond]

yes I use it all the time lmao

[dreamy rose]

then you'd know linux handily embarrases NT.

[fossil frost]

but we are asking YOU to back it up, with numbers, and actual data, not personal opinion and bullshit

[acoustic pond]

alright buddy whatever makes you feel good

[slim barn]

It depends on what you're using it for. Both have their pros and cons.

[acoustic pond]

everyone I just want you know not all linux users are like this. Most are but some arnt

[long briar]

He's also an AMD fanboy and hates intel and Nvidia

he's just a special case of what the fuck, just ignore him

[fossil frost]

hes the sort of person who has his own world view, and thats it, everyone else is wrong... ie. a child

[dreamy rose]

Linux has always been a faster lighter kernel while NT has been slower and has more support because Windows is bundled with everything under the sun. if it was up to people Windows probably wouldnt exist anymore

[dreamy rose]

i dont hate intel i think they are just boring

[long briar]

by this logic MS DOS is a faster kernel

[slim barn]

It is up to people. They get to choose.

[still light]

Steam os next big thing

[dreamy rose]

it probably is in comparison. though its stuck in the pre 2000s era so no.

[acoustic pond]

@dreamy rose apparently has never worked in corporate environments where Windows Server are still heavily used alongside linux

[dreamy rose]

the fact the Ally doesnt come with SteamOS is just a disappointment.

[long briar]

do yall remember steammachines?

[still light]

I own one

[acoustic pond]

you know steam os is just a linux distro right lol

[still light]

Yes but it'll be fleshed out

[slim barn]

Same as Steam Link? I have one. It served it's purpose well.

[fossil frost]

they are the sort of person who would just go round crying at people for using windows servers , saying its shit, telling everyone they need to change to linux... but not offering any solution to actually doing that, and not understanding that some major software only runs in windows, and there is no replacement for that software

[still light]

Describing why monopoly by windows bad

[long briar]

windows is not a monopoly

[fossil frost]

no, im describing the fact that windows, and linux, have their place in business, and you cant just say "no, use this one" blindly, because that is just fucking stupid

[acoustic pond]

There was a reason Microsoft saved Apple in the late 90s from going bankrupted,

[long briar]

yes this^

and possibly the reason Intel wanted AMD to catch up

there's been insider reports that some of Intel's engineers went to AMD before ryzen to make ryzen happen...

[acoustic pond]

more then likely yes

[long briar]

tho the sources are kinda scuffed so I would take it with a grain of salt

[still light]

Amds gonna crush intel and nvidia in the next decade

[acoustic pond]

sure buddy, ive only heard that for like 15 years now lmao

[long briar]

When AMD, Intel and Nvidia all use TSMC to some extent, not rly

intel has every possibility to just suddenly come out stomping with their 7nm because they have their own fabs

[fossil frost]

you mean company A was struggling, so they hired company B's best employees and offered them more money, and then company A started making better products and caught up to the stagnating company B... and now company B is hiring new people who think differently, and is catching back up what they lost to company A? and then the cycle continues...

[acoustic pond]

I remember when people made a huge due with Athlon 64 back in the early 2000s and how it would change everything and slowly died out in the late 2000s, with the Phenom right?

[long briar]

I think 2000s was still athlon

[still light]

Phenom was Bae

[long briar]

early 2000s was Athlon, late was phenom?

[acoustic pond]

yea late 2000s was Phenom and after that it felt like nothing and intel just shot ahead

[fossil frost]

the wearer of the crown jumps between intel and amd.. as one overtakes, the other spends a few years catching up and overtaking... then it switches round

[long briar]

yea intel core i series was kinda nuts

Intel didn't even take a few years to catch up tho

this is why I'm saying intel has every resource at their disposal to absolutely demolish the market

[acoustic pond]

yea and there are still good desktops rocking 4th or 2nd gen i series that are still great machines

[long briar]

they kinda get to choose when they want to compete

[fossil frost]

my home server is an i7 6700, and my sons actual gaming pc is a i7 7700 🙂

[long briar]

there's a dell precision where I live for 140cad (100usd ish) with a 1603v4 and 970. Drop another 55usd into it and you got a 22c44t system

[acoustic pond]

nice! my main desktop is still a i7 7700K cpu and still awesome, after I do my next build this machine im on now will likely become another home server for me too

[gilded quest]

That is incorrect.

[fossil frost]

fixed.. i keep typing 6600 because i put my 6600xt in there too when i bought my 6750xt

[acoustic pond]

I bought a thinkpad E490 6 months ago for $150USD with a m2 drive already inside it. Opened it up and maxed out the ram to 32GB and added a 2TB SSD to run linux on. Thing is a BEAST

[gilded quest]

Dangerous errors. Smh my head.

[long briar]

yea intel was nuts

[acoustic pond]

but yea the whole concept of being loyal to a single company is just silly

I like linux and I like Windows, I shouldent have to just choose one and not use the other

fuck Apple though....

[long briar]

LOL

there's no denying apple silicon is awesome tho

for photo and video editing there's really nothing that comes close to it

even battery life nothing gets close

[glass lantern]

https://www.eightsleep.com/uk/lmg/

One of LTTs new sponsers which it's like... Go fuck youself, not LTT but the sponsor, the bed cover and unit is already £1700 which made me go OOF to rich for my blood, then I saw that they also wanted £14 a month to use it which is where I was like "Go fuck yourself!"

[acoustic pond]

yea it is until Apple stops supporting it for the next version lmao

[long briar]

Outside of those types of creative works then it becomes a lot less special

[long briar]

Apple has a pretty good track record, I'd trust em to support for at least 10 years

[acoustic pond]

watch Apple will be like M1 has reached End of Life and will receive no more support or updates, please update to a M5 chip lmao

[long briar]

given the iPad air 2 had like, 7 or 8 years of updates

every iPhone is 5 or 6?

[gilded quest]

apple's probably gonna sell the M1 air until the heat death of the universe /s

[acoustic pond]

my 2011 mac mini server can only upgrade to High and thats it and that was back in 2017?

[gilded quest]

[long briar]

6 years rip

[acoustic pond]

and the server was only 6 years old at the time

yea it could run the newer ones just fine but Apple is like nah fam too old

[long briar]

but I believe it was 2013? and newer macbooks could update to macos big sur

[glass lantern]

Like there is no way that costs more than £200 to produce, so they are already making like a 850% margin at a minimum then they want £14 a month ontop of that, if it were like £300 I could see the subscription not being completely insane, but £1700 and a subsciption, I really can't say it enough GO F*** YOURSEF!!!

[acoustic pond]

and then they took away macos server that I paid for and was like meh no replacment

[acoustic pond]

it varies on the hardware and products

[full fossil]

saup

[long briar]

just wait till you see how many 6th Gen Intel and ryzen 1000 systems get recycled in 2025

[acoustic pond]

7th gen too

[gilded quest]

gotta get that recurring revenue somehow /s

[long briar]

oh yea 7th gen

Windows 10 is the next Windows XP, never going away lol

windows xp eol was on my birthday...

What a great way to celebrate my birthday with the death of arguably the most popular os by % market share

[acoustic pond]

when did it go EOL again?

[long briar]

April 8 2014

[acoustic pond]

13 years of service life, holy shit

[gilded quest]

damn you're only 9 years old?

[long briar]

I wish

[long briar]

yep. Windows 10 is approaching 8 years in 2 months

[acoustic pond]

When I was 9 I was still playing Mechwarrior via MS DOs on windows 95

[long briar]

When I was 9 I was... looking for food

[acoustic pond]

oh shit you are right, I remember when it first came out people were giving it shit too

[long briar]

Yea time flies

[acoustic pond]

and how it was free for a entire year offically so if you had windows 7 or 8 it was a free upgrade

[long briar]

I still have the windows insider anniversary ninja cat wallpaper

[long briar]

and even unofficially it still worked

Btw I actually used a w7 key and activated a copy of windows like a few months ago

[acoustic pond]

I remember downloading the windows 7 iso from windows and installing it on a flash drive to use windows 7 in 2009

[long briar]

It was so weird I think they actually don't care as long as they get the market share

[acoustic pond]

was my first time ever downloading a version of windows on a flash drive and not a disc

[long briar]

I didn't start building till w8

[acoustic pond]

you know that was on purpose to increase market share and it worked perfectly

[long briar]

yep.

[slim barn]

Just when you think you've seen it all...

[acoustic pond]

I hated Windows 8 so much, 8.1 got a little better but still

[orchid orchid]

the windows 11 and 10 start menu is full of ads so after I downloaded Windows 11 I installed the windows 7 start menu and notification bar. It's so much better

[long briar]

I hated 8, I loved 8.1

[long briar]

just remove em

[acoustic pond]

So many people used classic shell lol

[blazing lily]

8.1 with a few tweaks was so good

[gilded quest]

i used windows 8 for a month, maybe 2, before windows 8.1 came out

[orchid orchid]

shouldn't have to

[long briar]

if you remove all the tiles from w10 and disable full screen you basically get a classic start menu

[acoustic pond]

man I still never use the tiles even in windows 10 lol

[long briar]

I hate tiles sm

But I also never use the start menu

[acoustic pond]

mean I get the thought behind it but I dont use it lol

[long briar]

I just hit the win key and start typing

[acoustic pond]

I more often pin stuff to the start bar though

[long briar]

Yea that's fair

[acoustic pond]

and I love the preview you get in the start bar of apps, that came in windows 8 or was it 10, I forgot lol

[long briar]

I have 6 apps on my taskbar and I use win + number to open it

[long briar]

I believe that was 10

it'd also have to be 8.1 because 8 didn't have a desktop

[acoustic pond]

I recently used Windows XP like 4 months ago and it felt really weird to me, so many features im used to on Windows 10 not being on Windows XP

like having to manually install all your drivers....

[long briar]

I want my w7 gadgets

[acoustic pond]

w7 gadgets were cool but again I never used them either lmao

[long briar]

it came in handy once

[acoustic pond]

I want Battlefield 2142 back

[long briar]

wait.

to think a kid born in 2010 would now in 7th grade

and that was after windows 7

[acoustic pond]

yea 2010 was 13 years ago

Death is slowly creeping upon us all.....

[long briar]

noooo

[manic torrent]

I think it's hilarious all these people saying windows x is best, where x is like... one that they just used a lot, and it's been long enough that the rose coloured glasses have set in, OR it's current version-1 because "wahhh I don't want to change"

[acoustic pond]

I just realized X-Play had been on going until last year...holy shit

[long briar]

I mean 8.1 is my fav but I kinda need 10... and no point going 11

[acoustic pond]

thats been every OS, people bitched about 7 initally since they called it another Vista

[long briar]

yea!

[manic torrent]

vista was objectively a bit crap. it was like 7 beta

[acoustic pond]

yea but people still complained and refused to upgrade from XP

[manic torrent]

oh absolutely.

[manic torrent]

there's no huge impetus to upgrade, but there's zero reasons to choose 10 if you're installing

[long briar]

10 is a fair bit lighter tho

[manic torrent]

it really isn't

[long briar]

and in my case my piece of crap laptop was having issues with w11 and crashing

[manic torrent]

haha, see that's fair

[long briar]

and only w11, regardless how I installed it

dude I needed my laptop for a camp I was helping out with and I was so pissed

[manic torrent]

yeah that sucks - but everyone always says "oh x-1 is lighter" - but there's no actual analysis or rationale behind it

[hot bobcat]

sooo question my current install of windows is on 3x4 lane to get it to 4x4 do i have to reinstall windows ?

[long briar]

oh. I'd have assumed W10 was lighter because of less telemetry

as well as a larger focus on security

[hot bobcat]

i assume ill have to reinstall

[long briar]

for pcie? no it's fine

if your drive and motherboard are both pcie 4.0 then it should either set itself, or is an option in bios

windows doesn't care abt pcie generation

[hot bobcat]

i have a 4x4 capable ssd and its on a 3x4 connection. how do i set it in msi bios ?
\

[long briar]

what cpu do you have

[manic torrent]

what do you mean 3x4. What hardware, what are you checking it with.

[hot bobcat]

ryzen 5 5600g

[long briar]

I mean he said lane so I just assumed it's pcie

[long briar]

what motherboard

[hot bobcat]

msi mag b550 tomahawk max wifi

[lucid echo]

pcie 3.0x4 vs pcie 4.0x4

[manic torrent]

yes but it's really not clear wtf is going on

[long briar]

basically he's confused how to turn on pcie gen 4 for his gen 4 x4 ssd, and thought he'd have to reinstall

[lucid echo]

You do not have to reinstall bud, the answer is no

[manic torrent]

assuming it's GPU, wtf x4 - oh wait, probably the built in GPU

[long briar]

x4 I was pretty sure it was SSD LMAO

[hot bobcat]

let me get into my bios

[long briar]

also aren't most mxm x8?

[manic torrent]

yeah I assume nothing, because most people don't know shit

[full fossil]

how much is a i52400 and 3070 build cost im on a budget so trying out diff gpu cpu combos and seeing whats best for me

[manic torrent]

how about telling us wtf you're talking about first

[long briar]

3070 is an automatic no. 12400 is also kinda dated for its price to perf

[manic torrent]

a 3070 is a terrible choice no matter what.

[full fossil]

why

3060 ti better?

[manic torrent]

not enough vram, too expensive

[long briar]

waiiittt @hot bobcat which m.2 slot are you on for the motherboard

[manic torrent]

also at that level AMD makes nvidia look super stupid in terms of BFYB

[hot bobcat]

Hop in vc and I’ll explain

[full fossil]

what does vram do dont clown me for not knowin

[manic torrent]

are your fingers broken?

[long briar]

dram and vram (ram) you can think of as your desk in an office.

[hot bobcat]

I’ll explain better

[manic torrent]

stores ... stuff 🙂

[long briar]

The more ram, the larger the desk, the more you can have open and reference at once

[manic torrent]

I mean aside from fingers being broken, there is no voice chat

[full fossil]

so i should go with a 3060ti?

[manic torrent]

I don't understand why it's hard for you to say "I'm using X tool and checking Y thing"

[long briar]

no.

[manic torrent]

6750XT

[hot bobcat]

I’m trying to set my ssd to 4x4 in my bios

It’s on a 3x4 connection and I wanna change that

[full fossil]

how much would it be worth i5 12400 and 3070

[long briar]

Unless you need cuda (in which case 3080, 3090, and 4090 start to make the most sense) AMD is a better bet rn

[manic torrent]

and what are you using to tell you that, and what is your SSD

but TLDR, you won't even notice the difference

[hot bobcat]

My sad is wd black sn770 500gb

[manic torrent]

this is what pcpartpicker is for

[tepid jasper]

cuda tax

[hot bobcat]

The dashboard says it’s on a 3x4 connection and it’s capable of 4x4

[still light]

Amd les go!

[hot bobcat]

the connection still says its 3x4 when i switched it to gen 4

[manic torrent]

yeah, you're using the wrong M.2 slot.

[hot bobcat]

i have it installed on the one that is closest to the cpu

[manic torrent]

M2_2 on the bottom of the botherboard is connected to the chipset and is pcie3, m2_1 is connected to the CPU

[long briar]

shouldn't it be M2_0 and M2_1?

[manic torrent]

no, I'm literally looking at the manual and the block diagram

[long briar]

huh

[hot bobcat]

it says m.2_0 in bios for my ssd

[full fossil]

Hi!

[manic torrent]

Another interesting fact is that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G only supports up to PCIe 3.0, in fact, all Ryzen 5000 G-Series APUs only support PCIe 3.0. They do not utilize the newer PCIe 4.0 bandwidth. This means that ultimately you will be restricted to PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD performance on motherboards, as well as PCIe 3.0 on the primary PCIe graphics slot rather than PCIe 4.0. This fact should not affect CPU performance, but it could affect other subsystem performance like SSDs.

^^ yeah I thought that might be the case.

[long briar]

OH!!! I forgot

[manic torrent]

Because the 5600G is not the same as a regular 5000 series

[long briar]

yea because G series was one architectural generation older than regular

[full fossil]

Wha

@versed finch

[wide marten]

Just saw the Hardware Buster exposing Gigabyte mobo got the same issue as the Asus ones
When do AMD fanboys start to realize AMD's mobo verification & AGESA sucks compare to Intel's?
While mobo companies are dumb to oversupply the voltage to fry your CPU just for 1% better benchmark, AMD has failed to clamp down and communicate to the mobo companies is at least 50% of the problem here?

[cold pasture]

can someone link me to a discord server boost system message, i wanna try that easter egg

[manic torrent]

yawn.

you're not entirely wrong, but complaining about "AMD fanboys" out of the blue is ridiculous.

also, don't attribute to malice that which is explained by incompetence

[wide marten]

So AMD now trying to open source their AGESA or something for security and PR to cover their rear

Whatever

[cold pasture]

nvm i got it thanks

They just need better software support, that's always been AMD's problem

What are some fun pc games that aren’t fps

[manic torrent]

stardew valley

[cold pasture]

all i do is fighting games if not fps games tbh

[manic torrent]

forza horizon. hitman.

[cold pasture]

hitman is fps for sweaty gamers

[manic torrent]

hitman is a puzzle game.

use hammer on guy

[cold pasture]

is it a puzzle if you already know the speedrun path

[manic torrent]

crouch behind cabinet

[manic torrent]

there's always a new strat 🙂

but if you can't do it SASO in under a minute you're basically garbage

[cold pasture]

solitaire is a underrated game ( had to love it, when my internet gets cut out for long periods)

[long briar]

osu!

[rare hamlet]

Osu?

Is that new Batman game on pc?

[cold pasture]

osu is rythm fps imo,
any game that requires 999fps is an fps game in my book

[long briar]

it's mainly fun when you have a good sense of rhythm and are very comfortable with your mouse sens

[long briar]

fps = first person shooter. OSU is literally third person, no person and most defo not a shooter

[mighty lantern]

Guys is spending 80$ more worth it for 3050ti over 3050?

[long briar]

also osu doesn't need a 999fps lock, in fact rarely will you have a lock at 960fps

[cold pasture]

not if you setup the csgo skin

[long briar]

if a 12700k and 3090 can't run osu at 960 stable, then almost nothing can

given that even a 7700k and 1060 can run osu at close to 900+

[grand mason]

Hey does anyone know of a good software used to unlock android devices

[cold pasture]

i have a version of osu that runs at more fps (cuz it's browser based)

[cold pasture]

it depends on the manufacturer

[grand mason]

It has my branding

[long briar]

link

[mighty lantern]

Lenovo IdeaPad 3i with i5 12th gen and 3050 is like 80$ cheaper than Asus Tuf a15 with r7 6800h and 3050ti. Which one to choose?

[cold pasture]

never heard of that brand, i'm sure its famous somewhere.

[cold pasture]

to unlock the boot loader, you will need the app made by the manufacturer,
otherwise community will have to reverse engineer it somehow.

[grand mason]

I ment it has No branding

[cold pasture]

idk

[grand mason]

I don't know either

[long briar]

damn you're actually a young one

My condolences for your CPU.

[rustic grove]

14, loved pcs since i was young, brought up on pc building, taught good games, like ones my dad played, had a ps3 as well, never got a current gen console until my xbox one in 2021, even then it was a gen behind, i was brought up well

[velvet root]

I remember getting my first computer when I was 5, it was a hand-me-down Tandy 1000 HX

i should have gotten a new cpu before my gpu honestly

[gilded quest]

Although my parents trusted me with smartphones since day one????
Maybe android parental controls weren't as good in 2010

[mild jacinth]

so now im just bottle necking my gpu with my 10700f

[mild jacinth]

lol my first phone that was decent was a moto g7 and it still works

[rustic grove]

my dad was a security and database manager in a big company, and still is, he taught me what i needed to know and ill forever be grateful for that, he taught me what to trust and what not, how to take care of my pc, everything, i built my first storage server with him at 7, and it still serves our whole family

[rustic grove]

my dad has always said “if a pc could last 5-6 or even 7 years, its a good build” and thats why i kept this for so long, it was fine, but now ill be driving to the local pc store with my dad in the morning to pick out parts for my next build

[marsh aurora]

how notorious are AMD Chips Memory Controllers failing?

[glass lantern]

Lets be clear, it's not the memory controls fualt that it's getting fried, it's because some motherboards were giving the IoD 1.4V

When like generally out of the box it should be 1.05 - 1.15V

[marsh aurora]

does the Asus Tuf Gaming x570 plus do this?

[bright silo]

its an AM5 issue not AM4

[glass lantern]

Oh AM4 there isn't an issue

[marsh aurora]

because my processor died on me today and I replaced the motherboard because A1 and A2 Dimm Slots dont work at all

[elfin jetty]

Gaddamn.. 1.4v? That would kill any modern cpu id think

[marsh aurora]

Ryzen 9 5900x

I used to be able to use 128gb of ram now I can only use 64gb of ram

[glass lantern]

and thats I/O as well so it's even more susceptible to getting fried.

[elfin jetty]

Oof

[marsh aurora]

I just got another ryzen 9 5900x do you think that will work?

so I got a new mobo and processor

[thorny axle]

Yeah, they definitely wouldn’t like it

[glass lantern]

I assume you tried reseating the processor and RAM.

[marsh aurora]

Oh yeah the pins arent even bent

I genuinely think the memory controller is fried

The ram works fine in another computer i have

[glass lantern]

like I think Zen 2 and 3 had a typical IoD voltage out of the box of like 0.9 to 1V and 1.05V was pushing it, must have been a change in the controller for Zen 4 because AMD is saying the maxium recommended voltage is 1.3V

[marsh aurora]

Would that affect the new one by using the x570 plus?

[glass lantern]

that comment was to the more general discussion of the current AM5 issues, I would just get it replaced on warrenty as I believe there is a 3 year manufactorer warranty.

[bitter thunder]

Say, what happened to Build-a-PC? It used to be a regular channel just like the tech chats.

if it were an IMC issue you shouldn't lose one side of the sticks you should say you have slot A1, B1, A2 and B2 would should lose either A1 and A2 or B1 and B2

at least thats how I understand it

[marsh aurora]

Only A1 and A2 dont work but B2 and B1 together work so dual channel doesnt work at all

[glass lantern]

Waaa, on every board I have ever used the dual channels have always been for example Slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4

[marsh aurora]

Yeah its so strange

so I think the memory controller on the ryzen 9 5900x is capote

[bitter thunder]

Would it be a feasible idea for the server to create a channel about making and managing custom water loops for ones PC?

[glass lantern]

have you restored the BIOS to defaults by either removing the battery or bridging the appropriate pins

[marsh aurora]

Yes and yes and bridging pins?

never heard of that

[glass lantern]

there are a set of pins that you can bridge which will do the same thing as removing the battery on the board.

[sonic spruce]

Hello

[marsh aurora]

Oh yeah those are on older mobos

this one doesnt have a bridge

[glass lantern]

Eh I'm pretty sure thats still a thing on modern boards.

[marsh aurora]

here dm me an example I'm confused

[glass lantern]

what board do you have specifically btw

because I wanna have a look at the manual

[marsh aurora]

Asus Tuf Gaming x570-plus

[sonic spruce]

Did the server change again?

[long briar]

that's dual channel.

[marsh aurora]

I thought A1 and B1 and A2 and B2 were dual channel

all 4 Dimm Slots dont post boot.

[long briar]

oh wait ok what ram speed

[marsh aurora]

Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x 32GB) DDR4 3200(PC4-25600) C161.35V Desktop Memory -Black Heres the exact ram model

thank god Android allows file transfer in the background

[iron hatch]

so likes let’s say as an example, my parents turn off the wifi completely from the house without unplugging the router, how do they do that? Like afterwards, I don’t see my network connection anymore

does anyone have an idea

[full fossil]

Is 43 inch too small for 4k

[vapid smelt]

follow your parents rules

[iron hatch]

no it’s not for me lol, im old enough

I just want to have knowledge

[vapid smelt]

[forest valve]

Don't they just make stupid wrestling drama crap?

[timid meadow]

If it wasnt for you, then you could ask them

[iron hatch]

so you guys wont help me out

[timid meadow]

Even if we wanted to, how would we know what their doing? Could be as simple as parental controls on the modem, or as complex as an entire separate vlan or connection something they manage for after hours use. How should we know?

If the worst thing your parents do is turn off the wifi im happy for you aha

[iron hatch]

Hmm well if the wifi connection isn’t here, do you guys know how to get it back?

[timid meadow]

Asking your parents

[iron hatch]

in any alternative way, without knowing it’s a doing by my parents

[timid meadow]

Buy your own damn internet kek

"Its not for me im old enough" Nah youre just 3 kids in a trechcoat

[full fossil]

Sending this from meta quest

[timid meadow]

Fun

[full fossil]

yes

[iron hatch]

It’s really not about parents, it’s just the fact about how can my internet just disappear like that lol

[timid meadow]

Theres all sorts of ways as i said above

Gaining access to networks hidden from you is borderline illegal except in specific situations. If you arent paying the bill, ask the person who is. If they say no, its no

[regal fog]

Hey all, I am new here but was wondering what channel should I go to if I need help deciding between monitors?

[timid meadow]

Either tech chat or build a pc probably but seems like a generic enough request for any channel as long as you roughly know what you want

[regal fog]

Ahh ok haha thank you I wasn’t sure didn’t want to spam a group and then being like wtf 😅

[timid meadow]

At worst someone will tag another channel for you to move to.

[regal fog]

Thank you!

“When released”

[sinful hatch]

[brazen needle]

So like around may 24

[vapid smelt]

it will be X much better

[pliant karma]

lol for a second I was gonna say also bye bye verge but I realise they're owned by vox media which vox has no part with vice news

[tender geyser]

4060 ti is rumored to be around 3070/ti perf

so the 4070 will be a decent bit faster

[full fossil]

borrowed my friends whole ass ltt screwdriver just to figure out it wont unscrew this optiplex cooler

[mossy pendant]

how old is the optiplex haha

[full fossil]

10 years old lmao

[timid meadow]

I dont have specific recommendations but from what ive seen it can get you a good one. I spent 100 or something on the one my wife is learning on

[mossy pendant]

if you have an ipad 6th gen and up, and a mac, you could always use sidecar as a drawing tablet

[full fossil]

i could get the drill to the cooler, but then i'd have to buy a new cooler, which im not able to find for a reasonable price

[elfin jetty]

Is it any good?

[timid meadow]

Lemme go find a link. She doesnt use it often but ive played with it a few times and like it. Seems solid and featurefull

I added the automation to turn my mic red when it's muted. Too bad the RGB signal interferes with the mic signal 😦

[long briar]

is it the nw700?

[manic torrent]

nw800 but I think they are basically the same

[long briar]

or was that someone else

Oh ok yea I believe they use same capsule and housing, nw800 is the USB version iirc

[manic torrent]

no that's 8000

[long briar]

oh.

What have you done to #1106613567966429224

[timid meadow]

Makes more sense for build a pc then it did tech support imo. If you mean the threads

[slim yacht]

i mean in that price range the headphones i tested made me sound close to a robot w/o any noise filtering software (arctis 5,7, cloud 2's, razer barracuda x's lol)

[low rain]

I have the cloud 2’s and I’ve had no problem with them and whenever I’ve had voice recordings it’s never sounded like a robot

[slim yacht]

the ones i had made me sound like one so i went ahead to get a condenser mic. maybe its just mine.

[fervent prairie]

Same. We lost another good channel.🔥

[low rain]

I also know like 3 other people with the cloud 2’s and their mice are fine so prolly js yours

Why does UnRaid sell Golf Balls with their logo which of you nerds are repping unraid out there? Disc golf id maybe understand because you can at least see the design as the disc is flying

[tepid jasper]

it does but i think it mightve been good to leave the past chat as a public archive just in case past info has to be viewed on order to help others

[dreamy rose]

every channel is gonna become a stupid little discord forum in the next few years.

[tepid jasper]

forums are the worst thing to ever happen to discord

[dreamy rose]

there has to have been something worse but i agree that its one of the worst.

[tepid jasper]

threads?

[dreamy rose]

threads are fine.

[tepid jasper]

yeah i just dont see many use them

but that's fine ig. they have their uses at times

[dreamy rose]

they are hardly used that is true.

[wispy marsh]

TIL that milo makes strawberry protein powder much more palatable

[wise tundra]

Any idea of LMG still has the cable tester?

[manic torrent]

no, they throw everything in the bin as soon as they are done

[wise tundra]

Was more thinking about if they sent it back or something like that. Was thinking about ordering in bulk those Nintendo HDMI cables (they're really nice cables) but can't find online what HDMI spec are they

If it doesn't say you have to assume minimum observed.

Yall we need to start buying ancient ass apple servers before they become more rare

Why would I run old ass apple servers

[wise tundra]

Nvm that, all the cables are High-speed. Even the ones that came with the Wii I were.

[wispy marsh]

Don't need to. Just rip the OS

[dreamy rose]

almost like Nonexistent. you look up apple server it never shows up.

or was that MacOS Server.

[manic torrent]

.... What? Apple absolutely made servers.

[full fossil]

Yep

[tired glade]

It was web hosting server

[wispy marsh]

Reminds me of those people we call "jehovah's witnesses"

They used to!

[tired glade]

Single or dual PowerPC G5,
2 GHz – 2.3 GHz

[graceful burrow]

Thats why there are advertisements in the channel

[sick coral]

why

[graceful burrow]

Because ltt doesn't care

[dreamy rose]

i looked up Mac server once and it never mentioned Apple made servers once. i didnt think they existed ever

[graceful burrow]

You suck at research.

[chrome vector]

Apple used Windows... Microsoft used Linux.... Linux used Linux

[tired glade]

Was Google already dominating in 2002?

[wispy marsh]

When I first browsed the internet, Apple Servers were actually on their home page. I thought they'd be the future, and never have I been so wrong

[tired glade]

Someday they will make wireless charger

[manic torrent]

So you performed an exhaustive research of... Not actually searching for the thing we're talking about, and then spoke as if you knew what you were talking about. Excellent.

[graceful burrow]

Average ltt interaction

[manic torrent]

When you state something as a negative, like " X never y" you have to be sure, and know enough about it that you can be confident in your assertion. That's what makes someone an expert, more or less, being able to confirm a negative.

[dreamy rose]

first of all your conversation was irrelevent to when i actually went out searching for such a thing. i looked months ago.

[graceful burrow]

So you had known for a while that you didn't know anything about them

[manic torrent]

Doesn't matter. You spoke authoritatively on a subject you knew nothing about.

[graceful burrow]

To someone who does lol

[dreamy rose]

i didnt know they actually existed until the LTT video. thats what i was saying.

[full fossil]

Me when upkeeping a vps hosting service on 12 * 1u, 12 core 24 thread, 96gb ecc memory, 500gb mirrored boot disks, 20tb storage - ceph, each with 6 * rj45 ports. There's two nodes set up as backup servers for it all and room left to expand further up into the rack.

Only downside is all the ethernet is 1gbe, it's ddr3, they're all r420's, and the storage is all 10k sas hdds except for the boot drives which are enterprise ssds LMAO

[graceful burrow]

Say less

[dull granite]

wait so twitter is helping turkey suppress opposition voices?

[wise tundra]

Why am I not surprised

[full fossil]

Be able to confirm a negative to reasonable certainty, which you don't get from "apple servers" put into google

[graceful burrow]

This sounds dangerously not appropriate for the server lol

[full fossil]

Yep

[wispy marsh]

I bet his crush is part of the opposition

[graceful burrow]

That's one of the only reasons to ever be concerned with rubbish like that

Oh Elon lol

No, not you

[graceful burrow]

Anything related to that skin walker is cringe anyway

[wispy marsh]

He's good

We need living examples of how to not behave, and he's a very good example

[graceful burrow]

True to that ig

[full fossil]

Elon knows all publicity I'd good publicity, it makes money

The fact yall even talk about him is a + for him

[graceful burrow]

I try my best not to

[full fossil]

Now you have another reason not to

[wispy marsh]

Buys Twitter for 44b in 2022
Twitter is valued at 20b in 2023

it makes money

[full fossil]

I generally don't care about Elon, worst he's done is kill a boring social media platform, is bringing 100% instead of 80% internet coverage to my country, has me on a plan with 100mb/s instead of 50kb/s for the same price, and makes neat cars.

Elon is hardly the worst person on earth, without him my internet would be so slow I couldn't even talk here
