Wants to sue Microsoft after they pulled out of Twitter as well, gg

[full fossil]

Lmao

Idk he does what he does, but I don't feel the need to bash him about everything he does, thats what snake oil politicians are for

[wispy marsh]

Microsoft pulls out of a lot of people. They do that when enough time has passed that they're not going hard at it anymore.

[dreamy rose]

is it the biggest loss in history or would that be Facebook?

[forest valve]

A lot of people just like to baselessly hate on Elon here if you mention him lmao

ELON BAD WAH

[graceful burrow]

Verizon bought Twitter and instantly killed it

[dreamy rose]

i really dont care for Elon much.

[wind pulsar]

Facebook lol

[full fossil]

Yep

[dreamy rose]

i'd think so. loosing 750 billion is much more than 20.

[wind pulsar]

Facebook lost $600B in value after they called themself META, Zuckerberg has some guts

[full fossil]

Don't get me wrong I don't particularly like him, he's very much living behind a mask, but other than killing an internet waste of time (I actually appreciate that, thnx lmao) he's not too bad

[dreamy rose]

600, still a lot

[forest valve]

Who knows if that money they lost was stashed elsewhere

A portion of it probably was

[full fossil]

Prolly

[manic torrent]

There is no behind the mask.

[full fossil]

There is, he's a snek and people don't generally see that

[forest valve]

He's just Elon

[full fossil]

Still waiting for cyber truck

[forest valve]

Eccentric

[full fossil]

All publicity good publicity

[manic torrent]

... no Elon hate is baseless. There's plenty of evidence of what a shit ass he is

[dreamy rose]

i mean, he is a character. apart from the interesting part of the history books he'll make i dont really care much to form an opinion.

[manic torrent]

I mean he's obviously an asshole.

[manic torrent]

I mean, if you want to suck on that billionaire boot leather you go right ahead

[full fossil]

He's a business man, either he's lost it (which Idrc if he has) with Twitter or he's doing it for some reason, either way it's funny to watch

[forest valve]

I'm not praising him but you're just hating on him because he has money based on this statement

[manic torrent]

But my children still talk to me, and I don't go on tirades against them.

[full fossil]

Well yeah duh

But again, Elon bad, tens of thousands of people worst which we ignore

[manic torrent]

I mean that's enough reason tbh, because there are no ethical billionaires.

[dreamy rose]

he lost his mind in 2018 when he sent a fucking roadster into space. he's gone just nuts.

[wispy marsh]

I declare Zuck the Martyr of the Empire of our Technological Age

I don't see the issue

Hey-howdy, Bob o/

[wispy marsh]

World history knows what we love to do to emperors

[full fossil]

Fuck nah, if I had that much money, short term that's quite the cost but heck, I'd send one of my cars to space too, that's fuckin hilarious

[wispy marsh]

Imagine if Zuck's from jp

[forest valve]

Zuckerberg is a worse person tbh

[tardy terrace]

Why am I smart for greeting you

[wispy marsh]

He'd be excommunicated

I'm bored

[dreamy rose]

because hes bob and he has an Ego to fuel.

[manic torrent]

Yeah maybe but he has the good sense not to flaunt it publically

[tardy terrace]

I'm sorry you feel this way.

[wispy marsh]

I'm supposed to be studying on a plugin course for the software that I'm using, but I can't focus

[dreamy rose]

we all have Egos some are just tiny others are fucking massive

[graceful burrow]

Mines the biggest

[manic torrent]

On the contrary I try to be humble, but it simply wasn't working here.

[dreamy rose]

and I'm gonna pop it like its some freakish pimple.

[tardy terrace]

what is this weird-ass vigilante arc w/ you

[graceful burrow]

You gotta learn a lot more before that could even conceivably happen lmao

[tardy terrace]

Bionic you need a new hobby

[wispy marsh]

Hey, you, Peyton

[tardy terrace]

yes, hi, me!

[dreamy rose]

this one is called, a joke

[wispy marsh]

I'm bored and I don't wanna study this plugin course. I have math class in two hours.

It's also work hours and my task for the day is to study this plugin course

doesnt America legally require some syrup in a sweet food or whatever?

[full fossil]

OK see I've done all three, the first on Linux, the second on my gaming pc, the third on my 420p monitor from 1997 that eeeeeees and you can see the pixels on camera

[tardy terrace]

[graceful burrow]

What the fuck?

[full fossil]

I hate the antichrist

[graceful burrow]

Where did this horrible assumption come from

[manic torrent]

Lol wtf has a full keyboard

[tardy terrace]

How ass-backwards are you holy shit

[forest valve]

Me

Full keyboard for life

[wispy marsh]

Counterpoint: You can also do those with my keyboard.

[manic torrent]

You're in a strange small group! 87 key best

[dreamy rose]

idk theres just a lot more chemicals in American foodstuffs.

[full fossil]

I have only full keyboards, and I use all the keys

[graceful burrow]

Id rather nail my feet to the floor and set a high jump record than give up my numpad

[graceful burrow]

You should probably stop there you obviously don't know what you're talking about

[forest valve]

I mean on a PC from 1997 (with original OS) I don't imagine it's even smart to connect it to the Internet so you're better off taking a pic of the screen with your phone

[manic torrent]

Everything is chemicals.

[dreamy rose]

the fucking arrow keys. what is this a C64 or smth?

[full fossil]

Monitor, not pc

[manic torrent]

He's not entirely wrong but.. broken clockspotting

[full fossil]

The monitor connects to a server lmao

[tardy terrace]

tbh since I've moved to biometrics I could probably ditch my numpad & get a separate one for flight-sim-things and strap it to my hotas mounts

[wispy marsh]

I'd like a numpad, but I don't see myself using it on a daily basis.

[full fossil]

I rlly want to get my hands on a server from pre 2000s

[wispy marsh]

I should add a layer exclusively for the numpad

[tardy terrace]

hi im stealing this thx ♥

[wispy marsh]

Credits due to kbdfans server

[manic torrent]

I mean, I was there. I'm fine without 🙂

[tardy terrace]

I need one for the collection

[dreamy rose]

not having a Numpad is kinda pointless

[wispy marsh]

This is amusing

[full fossil]

I use number pads often bc I do some accounting stuff

[tardy terrace]

I'd love a tkl peyboard

[manic torrent]

I used a full size das at work for many years

[wispy marsh]

There's this one layout called 96-key

[dreamy rose]

you may not use it often but its better to have it than not.

[manic torrent]

And I have that and some other full size kbs

Just in case I have a numpad emergency?

If I need a fullsize I can just get it out

LEFT-HAND NUMPADS LETS GO

SO FUCKING BASED

[wispy marsh]

I spent so much time looking at these two styles before I settled on an ortholinear

[full fossil]

Actually left hand num pad would be good, I generally use left hand

[wispy marsh]

fr

[full fossil]

Problem is I need function keys

[tardy terrace]

replace one winkey w/ an fn key, problem solved

[wispy marsh]

The only reason why I would consider numpad on the right side was because I broke my left wrist a decade back, and all I had was my right hand to play Maplestory with

[dreamy rose]

just incase you need misc keys for a game or if you for some reason wanna run a PC game from before the cursor keys were stsndardised the way they are now.

[full fossil]

Then how do I change the brightness with kb

[manic torrent]

In which case, as I said, I have several full size kbs

[full fossil]

Just, I need function keys

[wispy marsh]

I have my function keys bound to "QWER ASDF ZXCV"

[full fossil]

OK noted

[wispy marsh]

I don't use them that often, so they're on a second layer

[full fossil]

Space is too small for me on that kb though

[wispy marsh]

:D

[dreamy rose]

yes, all with Numpads. not having one is pointless and just makes the Keyboard less useful.

[wispy marsh]

You guys and your giant space bars

[manic torrent]

How much less useful, would you say.

[wispy marsh]

I don't like it. I'm now too used to having shift at the bottom

[coarse valve]

Yo

[full fossil]

Here's the thing, I either use pcs for work, or for server shit, so it's just useful to have full keyboards

[coarse valve]

Can anyone recommend the best pair of earbuds i might be able to get under ~350-400USD

[manic torrent]

The only time I have ever needed a numpad in many many years was the standard key binding in msfs, but I have a hotas for that

[full fossil]

Clacky space bars

[wispy marsh]

Probably Airpods Pro V2

[manic torrent]

#audio-tech

[coarse valve]

👍

[wispy marsh]

Depends, you can have clicky switches and they'd be clicky

[full fossil]

I also find number pad useful for arrow keys and other navigations

[full fossil]

My space bar makes a clacky sound with red keys, dunno why but I love it

[wispy marsh]

https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_thread/1586495885965.393943244133979481766327-389A3A21D368435FB3A66D6D479EC090.jpeg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=crop&w=420&h=420&dpr=2&q=35

[full fossil]

Also you assume I use mostly mechanical kb's? 9/10 of my keyboards are membrane

[dreamy rose]

about as less useful as a half eaten sandwich. thats not the point. its rlly just not a big deal having extra keys, i really don't get why ppl hate on them so much.

[full fossil]

Awesome love it

[wispy marsh]

Probably because of the keycap hitting the top plate

[wispy marsh]

It's not mine, it's from reddit

[full fossil]

Nope, that'd be an awful click, ot feels like the Flicky click from blues

[forest valve]

My keyboard is some random German keyboard that was $20 I got in 2016 while I was away from home, I still use it but some of the keys get stuck so I'll need a new one soon

https://www.amazon.de/Perixx-PX-1200-Beleuchtete-Gaming-Tastatur/dp/B00Q8PUET8

[wispy marsh]

You can find a lot of these ideas now because the hobby is quite prevalent and a lot more styles have gotten affordable

[full fossil]

Actually lemme check if maybe my space bar is a blue switch

Yuuuup, nvm now ik

[forest valve]

My mouse is from the same company as the keyboard

[dreamy rose]

numpads actually could be used as an 8 Way dpad back when and even now nothing stops it being a thing ppl just dont do it.

[forest valve]

Has 12 buttons on the side though

I use my num pad for discord mute shortcut and deafen

[full fossil]

Noice, my fav kb (not the clicky space one) is Logitech and my mouse is cooler master

[forest valve]

And you know numpad for numbers

[full fossil]

Can do / does, much morw

[wispy marsh]

Build your own keyboard

[forest valve]

Nah, I prefer one that just works

[wispy marsh]

A keyboard that just works, is a keyboard that you can easily repair

No oem-specific rubber membrane, no soldered switches

It's just like a bicycle. Whenever it feels weird, take it for a tune-up and it's as good as new

[forest valve]

I'm just gonna probably get a Corsair that I can remove the keys in the future

[wispy marsh]

You'd most probably be able to remove just the keycaps, and not the switches

A faulty switch is $1 at the very most

[manic torrent]

Just works is fine if you're happy with garbage, but just works was decades ago for me. It's now entirely about preference and aesthetics.

[full fossil]

me getting ancient ass kbs for free and just using those

[wispy marsh]

I have two spare, working mechanical keyboards

I should clean and display the limited edition

[full fossil]

Here's the thing, never had a keyboard die on me

Even after say 3 years of heavy abuse

[wispy marsh]

My laptop keyboards die after the laptop's warranty date ends

[manic torrent]

I have.. uhhh... I'm not sure tbh. Certainly more than two

[wispy marsh]

I never, ever trust laptop keyboards

Though I've also never had a LP or ULP laptop keyboard, so I can't speak for those

[full fossil]

Laptop from 2008, only the 4 key is sticky, nothing else

I am a strictly casual keyboard enthusiast 🙂

[ashen magnet]

Has anyone seen this Telly tv stuff or is it just me

[dreamy rose]

Telly? what's that?

[ashen magnet]

A company that’s giving way 500k tv or something I seen it on my feed when I woke up this morning

[manic torrent]

I have a keychron k1, k8, oooold ducky, a das keyboard , a model M, a royal Kludge rk87, and I think something cheap and shit for spares.

[paper timber]

Why did they make build a pc chat forums 😭

[manic torrent]

For money

[dreamy rose]

because they arent sane and this server is 1984

[lethal copper]

Damn

[paper timber]

Bruh

[lethal copper]

I have an... uhh.. Keychron Q5 and ordered new switches for it

[paper timber]

Anyways whats a good monitor doe?

Im lookin at 24g2u5 aog

[dreamy rose]

1440p 144hz is the spot i guess.

[paper timber]

Lookin for 1080 p

[manic torrent]

Why

[paper timber]

Why not

[lethal copper]

I am upgrading my PC (Got new GPU, soon new CPU) and I wonder if I should invest into Fractal Design North and 4x Thermaltake T30s for silent gaming

[ashen magnet]

I’m running Samsungs oddsey g3s I think there pretty good

[lethal copper]

Cause right now whenever I turn on shaders in Minecraft the PC becomes a jet 🤔

[manic torrent]

It won't be silent. But it might be less loud

[paper timber]

That runs 2k?

[lethal copper]

My Dark Rock Pro 4 is definitely not the problem so its surely the fans

[ashen magnet]

No

[paper timber]

Right its 1080p my bad

[lethal copper]

I mean, when I say silent I mean "I won't notice this"

[paper timber]

Why should i get a 1440p doe

[lethal copper]

I have 6 random cheap fans in my current case, 4 T30s should be several times quieter

[dreamy rose]

why would you want 1080p?

[manic torrent]

Your video card is almost certainly the culprit

[lethal copper]

Why?

[paper timber]

wallet

[ashen magnet]

Cuz why not

[lethal copper]

Its a 7900xt and I don't think it makes sound that can be heard above the fans

[paper timber]

Then whats a good 1440p

[lethal copper]

I used to have a 2080 super and I can confidently say the sound I hear when I turn on games is same old fans

I even checked with my ear, it comes from front panel

[manic torrent]

I mean.... Have you tuned the fan curves? Do you know the temps?

Get fancontrol.

[dreamy rose]

you see idk monitors enough to recommend certain models but i know enough that high refresh rate 1440P is a good place to be right now it will last a good few years.

[lethal copper]

Is it on linux?

[manic torrent]

Linux does have a fan script, and you can make it work but fuck it's painful.

[wispy marsh]

Does Linus have a tee where the print is not just at the middle of the tee?

[lethal copper]

Also all of my fans are tuned, I did it a few months ago and while it got them down ~3x times quieter they are still loud

[ashen magnet]

What is your budget anyway

[lethal copper]

You just can't do much with super cheap fans

[dreamy rose]

unless its like 50 bucks 1080p is a stupid idea,

[paper timber]

Around 800 ron and lemme see how much usd

176 usd

[dull granite]

nortfite pattle bass

[wispy marsh]

LTTstore battle pass

[forest valve]

I don't mind 1080p

[ashen magnet]

Well I’m running 1080p still

[wispy marsh]

The more merch messages you send, the more Linus Pionteer Points you get

[forest valve]

Looks fine to me

[ashen magnet]

Yeah

[paper timber]

I forgot why im getting 1080p

[forest valve]

I've got a 27inch 165fps 1080p Asus monitor

[ashen magnet]

Besides I don’t game a lot anyway so

[paper timber]

So my pc runs a tad faster

[ashen magnet]

Better than 720

[full fossil]

Anyone wanna join me in making a pfsense or opnsense box with an ancient ass pc, kek

My routers for my homelab run pfsense+ so this should be easy enough for me, so I'll prolly do opnsense

[dreamy rose]

i am too. but i'm on like a 2008 TV or something idk idc when this TV was made.

[full fossil]

We must follow the ltt instructions

[plush rivet]

It’s extremely easy if you know networking

[paper timber]

Pain

[forest valve]

I also like 1080p because it puts less strain on my GPU than 1440p or 4k would

Hopefully letting said GPU last longer

[paper timber]

Well my argument stands. Is the 24g2u5 good?

[graceful burrow]

I like 1080p because I can't afford a new gpu

[manic torrent]

This is why I use 640x480

[graceful burrow]

If my screen was actually 640x480, the ppi would be..... 16.

They never really took off in Australia

[dreamy rose]

my nan was working for the SES for a while and had one going off all the time.

[manic torrent]

Do you limit power? Or fps?

[manic torrent]

Yes, and I had one when I was a firefighter, but I mean personal ones

[forest valve]

My fps are limited in some games it depends though, I already don't get more than 90fps in COD MWII regardless of what I limit it to

[full fossil]

I alr do enterprise networking, anything networking isn't fun.

I just want a shits and giggles 2000s box that runs opnsense and to follow someone else's instructions on how to do it but as innacirately ad possible.

Actually @manic torrent thoughts on that, you tend to read what people say and don't see "alr know how to do vlans, I do enterprise networking" and say "OK but why are you setting up a single vlan" (exactly how that convo went)

[ashen magnet]

@paper timber what about Msi G24C4 155.99 usd 708.13 Ron

[manic torrent]

You realise your GPU works just as hard

[full fossil]

(I wasn't even talking about setting vlans up idk where they got "I'm going to set up a single vlan" outta my mouth from)

[dreamy rose]

they are kinda like digital Fax Machines on mobile data.

they just recieve messages

[plush rivet]

Your taking this so out of proportion lol
I only said setting up 1 is dumb that’s it lol

[forest valve]

Definitely not as hard as it would be if it was doing 4K

[real schooner]

SMS text only "phones", no actual calling

[manic torrent]

Yeah I mean... If you haven't used them before.... Set em up and play around, but it's not rocket surgery.

[plush rivet]

it’s stupid easily to make VLANS lol

[manic torrent]

... that's not how GPUs work

[full fossil]

And I never even said I was setting vlans up, people who try make me look stupid by ignoring what I say annoy me

[dreamy rose]

or replying.

[plush rivet]

Never even did that but ok
Your taking my wording a different way

[full fossil]

I have set up vlans before, why tf are yall ignoring this part of everything I say, I've said it at least 4 times now

[ashen magnet]

Is it normal for the average person to have 64gb of ram in their pc

[plush rivet]

Nope

why would you need that much ram for an average person

[full fossil]

Depends, how many chrome tabs you need, 2?

[ashen magnet]

Well I’m not normal then

[dreamy rose]

no but 16 is and 32 is rising in popularity

[plush rivet]

What do you need it for

[paper timber]

Why it doe?

[ashen magnet]

About 10😂

[paper timber]

Also its not that cheap in romania

[full fossil]

I have 32gb ddr3 in my shitbox daily driver

[paper timber]

Its 900 ron aka 200 or 250 usd i think

[real schooner]

They existed in a relatively short time period before mobile phones took over (~1997)

[dreamy rose]

i'm the poor schmuck stuck with 2x4 DDR3

[ashen magnet]

Ah I see

[full fossil]

I'd justify 64gb if you do a lot with vms perhaps, just off the top of my head

[paper timber]

Where did u get that price tho?

[ashen magnet]

Amazon

[full fossil]

32gb was always a bit difficult to work with vms

[manic torrent]

Eh, I mean, IDC. Set up vlans. Don't setup vlans. There's a perfectly reasonable case for using a single vlan, because it gives you expansion

[ashen magnet]

Where are u looking at?

[paper timber]

Romanian sites

[full fossil]

Mhm on that last bit but was never even talking about vlans that's the thing

[ashen magnet]

It’s a funny story

[full fossil]

Ik what vlans are and how to use them, why am I being lectured on vlans

[ashen magnet]

I see

[paper timber]

Guess ill get it off amazon

Hope shipping aint my kidney

[dreamy rose]

they are also logical for silent protagonists like Claude Speed.

[manic torrent]

Your GPU will render frames as fast as possible, regardless of resolution. If the CPU can't keep up, then yeah it might not be as fast, but if you actually want to "not wear it out", limiting power and/or fps is a far far better way to do it.

[full fossil]

Anyway I have an idea for something, gimme a sec

[plush rivet]

Your seriously making it much more than it is
Nobody is questioning what your saying we’re we’re simply commenting, your way taking this the wrong way

[paper timber]

Nevermind delivery is 60 usd

[full fossil]

Just shut

[manic torrent]

Rendering 50fps at 4k or 100 at 1080p (for example, exact numbers not important) are both going to use full GPU power as long as the CPU keeps it fed. It always works as fast as possible

[plush rivet]

Bro 😂

[ashen magnet]

[manic torrent]

Depends what I'm playing. Ultra in Forza I get about 90

[wispy marsh]

Right now I'm thinking of

1. windbreaker
2. small-size backpack
3. screwdriver
4. black SSD scarf
5. a lanyard or two
6. a nice tee shirt or five
7. A pink bottle
8. towel

[dreamy rose]

Forza runs on anything with DX12 ong

[full fossil]

Forza h 1?

I love with each forza game its a little more free and a bigger map

[dreamy rose]

ask me how i know. Fucking lack of DX12 Support curse fermi.

[real schooner]

Biggerer bottle

[full fossil]

F3 is a favorite for me, it's close to home, map feels warm, has Ford mustang svt cobra 1993, and it's the first of the forza games they've kept the same sort of feel to

[dreamy rose]

each game after 2 just has problems. 2 was the peak. but 3 was so close. the only thing that ruined it was stupidly large hitboxes.

[full fossil]

Yes

[ashen magnet]

I turn 18 tomorrow closer to the age of doing legal things

[full fossil]

Hit boxes and my Logitech g923 wheel doesn't work well with F3

The ffb is broken and the shifter doesn't work

[dreamy rose]

4 had just a Hella Mediocre soundtrack and 5 sounds like the same.

[wispy marsh]

Hmm, I need something that mom can use. She isn't too strong and the 40oz is about the limit.

[manic torrent]

Wat? No, 5

[full fossil]

I really wish mudrunner would work with my wheel, has no ffb with it

Snow runner just ain't as fun to me, but mudrunner I can't play properly

[full fossil]

Oh I misread I as 1. Roman numerals moment

I should run an mc server again, I think that'd be fun

Also my poor Xbox 1s I still use, tryna pump out 2k, it struggling

[ashen magnet]

I used to run a mc server for a discord server out of my closet

[full fossil]

Lmao

[ashen magnet]

It ran…well

Would I do it again yes

[full fossil]

I'd be setting up waterfall and all that, containerized or smthng all on a proper server

[dreamy rose]

if you wanna debate this for whatever reason here's my experience:
i could jam to everything in 2's and 3's bass arena and some bangers outside of Bass Arena and i still love those soundtracks dearly to this day. 4 had a few good ones peppered in but everything else blended together and i got annoyed by that. 5 i haven't bothered with yet since i cant run it at all

[manic torrent]

The best thing about fh5 is the physics being dependant on the speed of your PC, so that if you are on Xbox or a slow PC, the shitty modelling will bottom out suspension, but if you have a decent setup it won't, and you will be a lot faster.

[full fossil]

Music in 3 and either 1 or 2 I can't remember which was jamming yeah

[ashen magnet]

I thought about doing a five m server maybe

[dreamy rose]

i didnt play much of 1. but 2 and 3 DEFINITELY go hard.

[full fossil]

Makes cheat detection much harder bc it's gotta be much looser

[manic torrent]

Like, upgrading from my 3070 to the 3080ti made a significant difference in how hard it was.

[dreamy rose]

so they created a class divide?

[full fossil]

OK so here a series x costs 600 bucks, you'd prolly pay a grand in New Zealand for a system of the same speed

Only shitter with Xbox even when it's fast, using older versions of games aaaaahhh

[ashen magnet]

Is there a big difference tho?

[manic torrent]

Huge.

[dreamy rose]

in Australia a Series X is 750 while the PS5 is 800.

[full fossil]

Huh yall got it rough then

I'm considering getting a series x for games so I never have to touch windows bare metal again

[ashen magnet]

I thought about going 3070 to 4070

[dreamy rose]

get this. PSVR2 is 880.

[full fossil]

Xbox is still Microsoft but at least it ain't windows

[manic torrent]

For 1440 or lower, 3070 is fine, for 4k it just doesn't quite get there.

[dreamy rose]

Xbox does run a chopped up weirdo version of Windows. but it clearly doesn't have the shit parts of Windows.

[full fossil]

I wanna see someone chuck a rpi cluster or some shit in a 360 and use the 360 as a daily driver with some Linux themed similar to windows

[manic torrent]

Which parts are they, exactly

[full fossil]

Well not all. It's better, still not great

[dreamy rose]

so an ARM Based Linux OS with KDE Plasma?

[full fossil]

Xbox is just worst than pc but I'd rather it over windows, I don't like bigger security vulns sitting in my network even if they're isolated from general lan

[dreamy rose]

the NT Kernel and DirectX parts to run games mostly.

[full fossil]

Yeah but also theme KDE like windows

[ashen magnet]

Okay but on a serious. It should I from 5800x to 5900x?

[dreamy rose]

better desktop experience anyway lmao

[full fossil]

Though actually, iirc Xbox hardware can run other stuff, just not windows, so could just install Linux directly on the 360

[manic torrent]

Those are the shit parts? Or the not shit parts? Do you think it has anything to do with having a defined hardware platform and rigid software requirements?

[manic torrent]

Woftam

[paper timber]

Holy shit. I found a monitor with 165 hz for less than 100 usd i think

[full fossil]

Here's the thing, I've got a fairly rare and not red ringed 360, I don't wanna chop it up

I'd love to put a rpi4 in a ps2 slim though, would fit perfectly and look so cool. Plus cd tray though not functional would still pop out.

[dreamy rose]

those are the parts its using. apart from UWP stuff too for like dev mode and what not its just NT and DirectX in a controlled environment with the specific drivers and the usual consoley stuff.

[manic torrent]

But that's the point. It doesn't have to print, or to run software from 20 years ago, or have remote desktop, or domain integration, or support a vast array of hardware, etc.

[dreamy rose]

i have yet to see an Xbox One running Linux but i'm all for seeing it. problem is that shit is SECURE and majority already get what they want through Dev mode.

[manic torrent]

If you take all the features out of something, it's much easier to make it smaller and better.

[dreamy rose]

or you could go the KDE route and make something small but feature packed.

[small zephyr]

the moment an chinese company makes fake merch of an chinese game like genshin impact

[shut violet]

Do you want more features on a games console?

[dreamy rose]

lmao

[small zephyr]

i just ordered just to get on 10bucks order minimum an "kell" klee figure xD

i just wanted the ws2812 rgbic strips

[dreamy rose]

i would like OtherOS to come back but on an Xbox.

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ horever temu has an order minium of 10 bucks and the strips were 6,50

[dreamy rose]

theres your upgrade path enjoy lmao

[shut violet]

Why? What do you want your games console to do besides play the games released for it

[wispy marsh]

[dreamy rose]

so i can confuse ppl by technically playing both Console and PC at the same time.

[fervent prairie]

Not nearly enough

[shut violet]

I see

[full fossil]

I managed to trap myself in a toilet

[shut violet]

So you're saying that it'd be a confusing platform?

[full fossil]

and uh wat do

[wispy marsh]

It's just a placeholder. I'm not ordering yet until they have the downsized backpack ready to ship

[full fossil]

I have

[dreamy rose]

its more of a "the hardware is an Xbox but its a PC" situation. its silly but some ppl would be really confused

[shut violet]

It'd be pointless

I was hoping you'd say "oh it'd be cool to be able to do this task or that function" but no, you want to cause confusion 😂

Dear God

[dreamy rose]

i mean it'd grantee you'd get a PC upgrade.

[full fossil]

Kek yeah always wanted to. I had the idea myself, did a search, found many others had too

Windows can't for whatever reason though, however linux can

[small zephyr]

duh just get an lenovo thinkpad backpack its an fraction of the cost but just as good

screwdriver etc okay but the ltt backpack is a fucking knockoff for that price

[dreamy rose]

that was a joke reason. i'd like to use an Xbox for a Linux PC because that would be cool and if they kept the feature alive unlike Sony there would be upgrade paths.

[shut violet]

nah

games consoles for gaming, pcs for the l33t users

[full fossil]

Not a feature, you can just install Linux bare metal

[dreamy rose]

would like to see the security hardware get cracked so it could happen.

they spend a lot on security each gen.

[wispy marsh]

I will use an OEM accessory only if I got it for free.

Why? Because OEMs won't publish lab and test results about their own products.

[small zephyr]

was just an example cuz its features like audio jack passthrough and powerbank passthrough

[wispy marsh]

I know, but still

[small zephyr]

my mom got it and its an great backpack

[wispy marsh]

I have a razer keyboard slingbag and a AMD x ASUS backpack. They're both great, but you wouldn't catch me buying it with my own money.

[small zephyr]

horever there are many options that are more sensical to your wallet an 250bucks backpack and i bet the smaller version will still be at least 200bucks

[wispy marsh]

Far better quality than a $30 xiaomi backpack I bought online.

[dreamy rose]

are we talking about OEM Crap or are we talking about the High quality backpack at LTTStore.com?

[small zephyr]

no way in hell can ltt justify 200+bucks on a backpack even an good eastpack costs less

[wispy marsh]

I don't mind 200+ if it's a good backpack

Alright, it's mealtime.

[small zephyr]

no you should, since you get better backpacks for a fraction of the costs, since they are basicly all made from the same guys

[dreamy rose]

if that's the cost of a Linus approved backpack then so be it.

[wispy marsh]

Probably. The good stuff that I like are all 100~300

[small zephyr]

i can justify the screwdriver since its super high quality and ultra durable and good tools tend to cost much horever 250bucks for a bit of cloth?

[dreamy rose]

is it even nutritious if it doesn't have meat in it?

[small zephyr]

i paid 40bucks for my miltec backpack and its on me for 9 years now and its still loooks almost as good as new

[wispy marsh]

I believe a series of articles about diet-based nutrition is in order

[small zephyr]

you dont need to buy something expensive online to get high quality stuff, mostly you find just as good or better stuff locally for cheaper

[wispy marsh]

Oh, you sweet person

We are an import country. Nothing gets made locally.

The only exceptions are liquor and food.

[shut violet]

ignorance is bliss obviously 😄

[dreamy rose]

or could just respect the fact they need to cover the cost of designing and making the thing as they don't manufacture backpacks as their main business.

[wispy marsh]

Every bag that I looked at and that I like, comes from three places

1. Germany
2. Japan
3. China

Speaking of liquor, GPT sent me a few brands that I might like when I asked it to recommend alternatives to Baileys, Roku and Kraken

[small zephyr]

if one wants to sell merch they need to make it affordable or else it just feels like they just after your money

[dreamy rose]

so linus is after your money is what you are saying?

[shut violet]

fucking hell man

[small zephyr]

and thats the reason i dont like the backpack it doesnt feel like its merch for fans but rather an means to get more funding, and if i pay 250bucks for something i want something worth that price

[wispy marsh]

Linus's backpack funds the lab

[small zephyr]

you can literally get an motherboard and cpu for 250bucks

[wispy marsh]

The only reason why I feel that it's worth 200/250 is because of the lab

And that they actually spent 3 years to make it, from scratch

I'm impressed by them and their ODMs

[small zephyr]

but it dont like it being dumped on the viewers it feels kinda dishonest to design ultra expensive merch to fund something THEY decided to go through

i like ltt and the lab is an great idea and concept horever it feels dishonest to fund it by overpriced merch

[wispy marsh]

Well, they told you that they would fund the lab through you

[slim yacht]

timbuk2 backpacks

[wispy marsh]

And they did tell us multiple times

[dreamy rose]

lets post this on the forum and see what linus says next wan show eh

[wispy marsh]

The backpack is not a definite buy for me yet, I'm looking at the downsized backpack first

[small zephyr]

yeah horever selling an 250bucks backpack that maybe would costs 100bucks as most in retail stores is just much

at that point just ask for donations instead

[wispy marsh]

See, the thing is

[dreamy rose]

big company man asking for donations

[wispy marsh]

The way I see it that they see it, it's much better that your money goes to product + lab funding, instead of throwing like $50 at superchats.

[small zephyr]

and the 250bucks backpack is not 250bucks in europe for example

with taxes shipping fees etc its more like 400bucks

[dreamy rose]

you give they give thats what they want.

[wispy marsh]

It's $350 in my currency, which is very, very high

The $35 (my currency) backpack from Xiaomi started tearing after roughly half a year

It's lightweight but I don't like the quality of it

[dreamy rose]

$373 here

[wispy marsh]

I admit I partially have the same views as backpack pricing as you Patsu, but a portion of it I have to agree to disagree

[small zephyr]

my 40€ maybe around 45 usd backpack is just as new with the expetion of one cord coming of the zipper after 9 years of service

[dreamy rose]

thats not counting shipping across the world which adds another like 200+ to the total

[near nymph]

$350 USD?

What country you are talking about?

[wispy marsh]

[small zephyr]

every country thats not usa or canada basicly

[wispy marsh]

$250 in USD, roughly $300~400 in my currency

Shipping's more than 10% of the price of the items

[small zephyr]

shipping something that is over 100bucks overseas is fucking expensive in terms of taxes and shipping fees

[near nymph]

I mean shipping something big overseas ain't cheap...

[small zephyr]

like my nation germany taxes 19% taxes that is the price INCLUDING shipping fees

lets say the shipping fees is around 50bucks thats 300usd for the backpack thats aditional 57bucks on a product that already is taxed in another nation

[near nymph]

I mean... It's not the Creator warehouse's fault that European Taxes are much much higher than the USA. I mean some places in Canada is 15%

Also. We have to pay sales tax on top of anything from the Creator warehouse. Sales tax isn't included

[north ermine]

In Norway it's 25%

[tired glade]

How Linus said on stream - if there will be enough demand to justify it

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, it's really expensive

[small zephyr]

you pay taxes on top of taxes, and i know is an nightmare for to have an overseas warehouse but is it that much to ask to make an partership with an place like amazon or something to store and sell it over em for example? i dont mind if they throw the aditional costs for that on us as long its bearable compared to the extra shit you already pay on top

[near nymph]

Huh? You realize. You arent paying taxes on top of taxes. The prices on the Creator warehouse does not factor in Sales Tax

[paper timber]

I found a monitor with 165 hz for 176 usd

[small zephyr]

🤨 i dunno around here the pricetag thats on the product is including the taxes already

[paper timber]

Is it a good deal? Its 1080p

[tired glade]

Fine deal

[near nymph]

In North America. Prices do not include sales tax. It's a cluster fuck when you are traveling to another city or county or state. In Canada basically provinces and territories

[paper timber]

Its dell tho

[small zephyr]

welp depents on the brand itself how good they are in their products

[tired glade]

It's dell, it mid of range panel

[small zephyr]

i wouldnt trust some cheap chinese ones for example they tend to have bad color calibrations and stuff

[paper timber]

I have 2 choices. This monitor or a 24u2g5

[near nymph]

If you want a good backpack. Check out brands like Herschel

[tired glade]

It will be funny if 10-15 years,when cheap Chinese electronic will die out

[small zephyr]

duh fuck activision i just want to play tony hawk and not scroll to dozens of users agreements

[tired glade]

[paper timber]

What

[zinc verge]

Monitors are much more complex topic than that

[tired glade]

It's fine only printer for me for that name

[paper timber]

Knoe what ill get the monitor with 75 hz

Since the human eye has a framerate of 30-60 fps it doesent matter

[zinc verge]

Why would u do that to yourself

[tired glade]

That's a myth

Do you even watch linus videos

i hate you

[tired glade]

He is right

there is a website for it ive found it before and i will find it again

[tired glade]

Just find schematics of Titanic,start with that

[dreamy rose]

"whats an alternative to ChatGPT?"

it helped visualize like impossible weights

[tired glade]

So, what's the problem with just numbers?

[past egret]

when i ask you how heavy is 5 million kg how do you even visualize that

youd probably think of like the moon or something to help

i want that, but a little more precise and also in smaller amounts

like 5 trillion bananas

[fair sage]

ah yeah, the "let's use anything but real units" mentality. No, huge "fake units" won't help. 5M kg = 5k tons... saying "a tanker ship capacity" won't help

[full fossil]

Sorry I haven't slept in several days

[fair sage]

cause 99% of people never seen an actual tanker ship, so it is replacing one unit with another, with zero reference

[past egret]

ok how about like a toyota prius, youve seen a prius right? i hope you have.

[fair sage]

not really, a Prius is not that common in Europe

[past egret]

ok, name one car you see a lot

[fair sage]

but even then, saying 2000 SUVs is still kinda hard to imagine

[past egret]

my god you are boring.

[full fossil]

5 million kg to prius' = 4081.63265306

[past egret]

interesting

[full fossil]

Just round it to 4081.5 prius

Reason I round down is bc for this visualization rounding to the nearest half not whole works better

Ie .7 to .5, .8 to 1.0

[past egret]

obviously a prius is too small to use as a relative weight for 5 million kg but its way better than just reading 5 million kg and assume, "thats probably heavy"

[full fossil]

See I do fine visualizing weight and numbers to scale

[dreamy rose]

well it probably is heavy

[full fossil]

Not so useful for me but yeah it's neat to calculate to an exact how many go into what

[past egret]

yeah but why do it yourself when a website does it for you but its fine

[full fossil]

Well until you find the website, take the weight you have and divide by the weight of the object

[past egret]

5 million kg is a hundred times 50 thousand kg but to us it means absolutely nothing besides "its heavy"

[dreamy rose]

fuck all the fancy graphics and technology i wanna see a AAA game made in GoldSrc today

Sorry my brain broke

I'm not gonna correct anything till I'm not the one wrong lmao

but ok

[tired glade]

Why I need to visualise it,it is 50000 tone?

[past egret]

im not explaining this again

[manic torrent]

Uhhhhh, really? Maybe some not in real life, but like.... They aren't exactly uncommon

You can just ... See them.

[fair sage]

i live in a landlocked country. Tanker ships don't really go to rivers

i mean i seen some on TV and such

but that doesn't really gives you an in-person scale comparison

[manic torrent]

Even then, 99% seems high, because you can go to other places

Actually it's sometimes better.

they will wait for the items to all be available then ship

[trim falcon]

I mean I've saved up money over a few months :P
should've expressed myself better

[polar fern]

@lapis eagle can range from $120 for a basic swivel with ok back & seat cushion to hundreds/thousands for the more overly engineered stuff

ah ok same difference really 😛

[lapis eagle]

Yh ive seen from looking prices are all over the place. I just want pretty good and last a long time as ill use it 60hours a week for a couple of years

[polar fern]

if youre looking for a serious chair for actual work long hours, then it will be more money and stuff .. i can make a few suggestions

[full fossil]

can i repost the tech support post?

[polar fern]

ergochair pro is one i can recommend

[broken basin]

So we're on the same page then. The workers are striking because they haven't had a pay raise in years, even though many of them have been loyal and hard working through thick and thin. They worked hard, the company was being stingy, and the company is now learning the consequences of not rewarding hard workers.

[full fossil]

is there an app i can use to see my total power consumption?

[errant parcel]

So they work until they find another job and quit

[gilded quest]

You can try and estimate it with HWInfo64
Alternatively, buy a Kill-A-Watt

[errant parcel]

If loyalty means nothing to a company, why would you work there

[polar fern]

"if you want more pay work for it" or how about employers pay a fair wage and have safe and fair working conditions vs exploitative/abusive

[errant parcel]

Let's be realistic, not every company is going to do that

[polar fern]

with my UPS it calculates how much power ive used and has a live wattage readout

[fossil frost]

the problem is, the writers cannot get other jobs, because hollywood is a criminal racket where all the studios collude together to keep wages low... which is why they are striking

[polar fern]

well if its made into law they will have to do that or cease to exist

[gilded quest]

@full fossil I have a "smart" PSU that monitors my power in & out in real time (it even gives values per voltage rail)

i had a stroke reading this

i just want to see if i need an upgrade cuz im getting a 4070

and i know it has a low tdp

[polar fern]

upgrade from what?

[errant parcel]

4070, hmmm

[full fossil]

2060

[polar fern]

no i mean

[full fossil]

cheaper then 3080 rn in cad

[polar fern]

you said "need an upgrade"

[gilded quest]

@full fossil Either google "hardware info 64"
or search amazon for "kill a watt"

[full fossil]

oh psu

[polar fern]

"from ... what"

[gilded quest]

what is your current PSU

[errant parcel]

I'm so confused, were we but just talking about a 4070

[full fossil]

550, i have a low tdp cpu so it should be good

[polar fern]

no you said "see if i need an upgrade"

[gilded quest]

who's sending me a 4070?

[errant parcel]

If you have a 40xx series, you want 750 watt minimum

[gilded quest]

What PSU model? is it a good quality unit?

[polar fern]

550 should be fine unless you got a lot of sata power going

[full fossil]

i can send a 1060 with 4070 written on it?

[fossil frost]

have fun with coil whine and constantly tripping OCP 🙂

[gilded quest]

You can run a 4070 on a 550W; but I would only do so if you have a high end 550W

[errant parcel]

I wouldn't

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt even do it then, because of efficiency losses, and, because constantly running your psu near to 100% of its possible usage, is gonna be bad for it

[polar fern]

550 watt is fine if you got a 65 watt cpu and nothing else maybe a drive or 2

[errant parcel]

850watt, EVGA, Corsair, MSI, Silverstone

[gilded quest]

yeah what cpu
@full fossil

[polar fern]

if you have anyhting drawing usb power or multiple drives you'll wanna go to like 650

[errant parcel]

Then you don't need to upgrade for a while come time to upgrade your cpu

[full fossil]

5600x

[polar fern]

yeah i wouldnt be concerned

[gilded quest]

5600X draws what, like 100W?

[full fossil]

65

[polar fern]

no its .. yeah

[full fossil]

according to google

[fossil frost]

65 stock, 100w with PBO

[gilded quest]

you never said what PSU you have

[wispy marsh]

Hello LTT

in what way? hes being a journalist...

[gilded quest]

MSI: "Hey steve, that's sure a nice looking open window you're standing next to...."

[sand star]

They just launched new site dedicated only to failures.

oh is it from the gn video

i have to apply to jobs first before opening youtube 😭

[fossil frost]

you think ltt labs is gonna be taken positively by everyone when the labs show that the majority of high end products are absolute dog turd with a high price point?

[sand star]

Yup.

[fossil frost]

journalism isnt there to make people happy, its there to tell the truth about things...

[sand star]

I bet quite a few manufacturers are extremely happy about the labs

[errant parcel]

"Facts don't care about feelings"
A very great quote people forget about

[full fossil]

A good quote that people frequently use to put others down
Good quote that has been hijacked to harass people

[broken basin]

You've hit the nail on the head, again! While collective quitting is considered a valid labor negotiation tactic, it is mostly considered as a last resort, a nuclear option. Finding skilled labor, and training personnel, is very expensive. Hence, the bargaining. Coke's just playing hard ball. The worker's are calling that bluff, and it's costing coke millions.
It would probably be smart of coke to just give the wage increase already.

[long briar]

it holds everyone accountable to the same degree, no more "this is better because popular and marketing"

[polar fern]

when the labs stuff is all up and running some company execs will be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVBML69BKAw

[full fossil]

B-but brown fans!!!!!!

[long briar]

in fairness their bearings are rly good

[errant parcel]

The real question is, will coke do it?

[fossil frost]

yeah, thats my point to the other guy... journalism is what it is, its about facts, not about peoples feelings

[full fossil]

Realistically Noctua is an industrial company that sells consumer products for lolz

[full fossil]

It’s supposed to be that way

[sharp parcel]

What does sprite taste like ?

[full fossil]

Unfortunately outrage = money so it often…yeah

[sharp parcel]

(never tried it before)

[fossil frost]

when i say journalism, i mean actual journalism, not the infotainment that most of mainstream media has become

[long briar]

it worked out for them lol

[polar fern]

i love computers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WZcZkikMDg

[full fossil]

Indeed it did

[broken basin]

Oh they usually do. Especially when the public becomes aware and starts boycotting in support.

[errant parcel]

We shall see

[full fossil]

Cocacola?

Nvm I read up

[polar fern]

most companies will pay the legal minumum etc.

[fossil frost]

some will pay less

[full fossil]

Companies will do whatever they can get away with

If they can get away with child labor they will (and do)

[gilded quest]

journalism is dying 😭

[long briar]

I don't think it's fair when an odm unknowingly outsources production to an oem, the oem uses child labor and the odm gets all the hate because it's their logo on it

[fossil frost]

its fragmenting, more people are doing it at a smaller scale, but you have to seek it out to find it

[full fossil]

I’ve started getting turkish political campaign ads on my youtube if that says anything
In the usa

[fossil frost]

due process is to do your research on your OEM before signing a contract with them, so yes, both deserve the hate, because the ODM never did their research, or did do their research and ignored it

[long briar]

But in several cases it was a matter of the oem changing policies without telling anyone

[fossil frost]

tbh, the ODM as the face company, its part of what their markup is there for, to absorb that hate, its the cost of doing business

[long briar]

Which is why I said it's honestly unfair

like if CWT was caught using child Labour in their factories, corsair would get the hate for making power supplies in a factory not controlled by them

[fossil frost]

corsair control their own supply chain, as a company, its their duty to keep up with that supply chain and all the goings on, and if they find out something like that is happening, its their duty to disclose that and to either stay with it and accept it, or, change their supply chain... its not corsairs fault, but, corsair does have control over where their PSUs come from

[long briar]

Not without huge production loss

[full fossil]

Linus himself has gone on and on about this

[long briar]

but yes

[full fossil]

And tbh if linus can pull it off, multi billion dollar companies can send out 1 dude to check a place out every so often

[errant parcel]

Uhhhhh, kinda. That's a business expense that cost $

[long briar]

Issue with popular media: if corsair discloses that they were using child labor at one point, it wouldn't matter what they say after because people are stupidddd

[fossil frost]

and not doing it, is a business expense that can cost a lot more $$$

[ashen magnet]

Anyone know a good wattage for a ups

[long briar]

Like even if it was in earnest (Linus and the "hard R"), if the play was not perfect it could shut a company down

[full fossil]

For sure

[long briar]

as much as you need

[errant parcel]

Look at who build, mined for earth metals, etc. of who build your phone. You'd be amazed. Child labor ethically is bad, but it's used everywhere

[full fossil]

What can your breaker handle?

[ashen magnet]

Uhhhh not sure

[full fossil]

always the phone argument
Every time this discussion comes up

[long briar]

I'm not amazed, I'm very aware of it. It's what allows stuff like phones to actually be affordable

[fossil frost]

lithium mines are almost exclusively child and/or slave labour

[long briar]

The fact y'all complaining about iPhone prices then complaining abt child Labour and not realizing that if no child labor was used... even a budget phone would easily cost 1k

[full fossil]

Isn’t australia the world’s largest supplier of lithium

[long briar]

not sure

[full fossil]

It’s we’re being completely honest
I’m sure a huge company could take over and still keep costs low while following labor laws. The problem is investment

Not as low as child and slave labor, but low enough

[long briar]

I don't think so

[full fossil]

No one has tried though

[long briar]

The difference in wage you pay kids compared to adults is huge

The play would have to be automatic machinery but then who are you hiring to build those things

[full fossil]

Elongated Muskrat

[long briar]

...

[full fossil]

I’m joking

[fossil frost]

he has mines in SA... and uses child labour and slave labour

[full fossil]

I’m sure he could have it entirely automated by AI robots by Next YearTM

[long briar]

he literally has a boring company

[full fossil]

I thought I’d made it clear I hate elon

I’m taking the piss here

[long briar]

You did

[full fossil]

There is no easy solution unfortunately, but I wish we could figure something out

[long briar]

I hate elon too, but that doesn't make me think tesla is cool

[full fossil]

It isn’t cool lol

[long briar]

It is

They lead in lithium battery tech (In accessible consumer products)

[fossil frost]

him owning it, doesnt mean he has anything to do with it... he owns tesla, and is the face of it, but doesnt have anything to do with the daily running of it... he just sits there and takes credit for other peoples hard work

[oblique flint]

yall want a goofy gif

[long briar]

He owned the idea so I still count it

[full fossil]

Something something about working 128 hours a week

[fossil frost]

he takes credit for it, doesnt mean its his idea

[long briar]

I meant to put "owned"

[oblique flint]

i guess not

[full fossil]

Didn’t he hijack tesla off of Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning

[long briar]

really he just invested into the idea

[full fossil]

I wonder if he owned lithium mines before that

Nvm he did not

[long briar]

That would've been huge tbh

Create your own supply and demand

[fossil frost]

officially, no, he didnt.. wouldnt surprise me if he owned companies that owned companies that owned lithium mines

[full fossil]

Apparently they mine lithium in Nevada too?

[long briar]

to a little less of an extent: the principle of airpods back in 2016

very successful

[full fossil]

I still hate the concept

Hey it's what allows us to have cheap tws that's pretty decent (I do enjoy using my nekocake)

[full fossil]

Mostly I hate that the batteries are pretty much not replaceable

[crystal pike]

No the highlighted tabs

[long briar]

sorting by timespan?

[crystal pike]

Ive never seen those before and wondering if its something apple changed or me

[long briar]

No it's always been there

[crystal pike]

The blue highlighted tabs

[long briar]

Ohh photos for you album

[crystal pike]

Its in every app that has a bar at the bottom

[long briar]

Yes that's been there iirc looked diff tho

[crystal pike]

It appeared today

[long briar]

I'm ok with this as long as the oem also handles recycling. Lithium batteries are actually one of the easiest things to recycle

I've basically accepted tws are consumables

and expire in about 3 years

But because of that I also dont feel that it's worth spending over 50 bucks on em

I have my IEMs as backups anyways

[broken basin]

Have you heard about the new silicon diode batteries? Shit is nuts

They're not that new anymore

[boreal mural]

Anyways, hello peoples of the internet.

[pulsar hemlock]

also i didn't know where to ask because there isn't really a channel for a weird question like that lmao

[vestal island]

[pulsar hemlock]

maybe

[full fossil]

okay i have officialy run out of ideas. so i have had this laptop for a cuple of months now and everything worked fine and now for some reason the speakers dont work. i have tried trubleshooting, installing/updating/reinstalling the drivers and fixing some corrupt files but it didnt work. anyone have any other ideas?

[still light]

Is it asus?

okay it is some chinese brand called x133

What is a good CPU for office work that is on a cheap platform.

R5 5500
R5 5600(G)(X)
I3 13100F
I3 12100F
I5 12400F

Other sugestions welcome, and which from these would be the best pick?

[gilded quest]

office work? 5600G
I wouldn't get any F-SKU from intel for office work since those require a dGPU

[dusty rune]

for office work even a 10100 would work fine tbh

[cloud crescent]

Very much true 5600G is also quite cheap rn 130 euros

[gilded quest]

dam
I think 5600G was a hair over $100 here for a while

but a 5600G + b450/b550 board is all you need for an office pc

[cloud crescent]

We include taxes in our price

[gilded quest]

I was too ;)

but 5600G is back up to ~$125

[cloud crescent]

Looks like we have the 9400 already so 5600g is not a big upgrade

[gilded quest]

tbh 9400 is fine for most office tasks

is there anything its being used for that needs more cpu horsepower?

[cloud crescent]

Some calculation software but its not heavy

[gilded quest]

eh, i assume its single threaded?

[long briar]

calculation software rarely will need more than 4 cores

the 9400 will do fine

I know people who got their masters in civil engineering with 2c4t 3317u

[gilded quest]

definitely not

4090

maybe 2 of them just to be safe

[ripe lintel]

i dont know if this is a hot take or not, but i do have a legitimate reason for flathead screws

not only can you use a coin to screw in the bigger ones

[gilded quest]

they have their uses

[ripe lintel]

but in watchmaking, flatheads are used because the extra surface area for tourque in philips and other screw heads is not needed and too much screw down force can actually cause damage, or make it not run smoothly

niche scenerio, but still

[still light]

Slot/flat heads are actually the worst

[ripe lintel]

another reason, is that it is much easier to manufacture, so if somebody with a machine shop needs a niche size screw, they can make it easier

also has to do with watchmaking/ horology

[ripe lintel]

most of the time yeah

[molten drift]

Flat headed screws are a staple in woodworking...

[ripe lintel]

but it does have its uses

[ripe lintel]

yeah, but staple does not mean it has a great use, just mostly tradition. or not im a lot of the time a bumbling idiot

[still light]

Robertson or bust

[tepid jasper]

top mounted?

[molten drift]

You try flush mounting a dome.headed screw to a board and tell me a flat what is not better

[ripe lintel]

actually true

[still light]

Since when can't you get flush mount Phillips or roberston?

[tepid jasper]

i have a 4000d

[molten drift]

I am talking about the head of the screw not the cut for the driver

[tepid jasper]

im just asking you if you are top mounting it

[still light]

Perhaps I'm confused

[molten drift]

Their are flat and dome.headed screws.

[still light]

Yes

[molten drift]

The cut that the driver goes into is not called flat head

That's called a slotted screw

People often use the term interchangeable when that's not the case

[still light]

But why use that over something else

[molten drift]

Because that's the proper term.

[still light]

No, the drive type

[molten drift]

That's why I use it as someone who has completed apprenticeship as a carpenter earlier in life.

[still light]

Why use slotted instead of something else

[molten drift]

And I prefer hex and Japanese Philips over all others

And combination slotted and Phillips are great too.

[still light]

I prefer ikea

[molten drift]

So... Hex, Phillips, and slotted.

[cloud crescent]

Easy🤣, that card is about equal to 3090 so even in 4k you can play csgo
