For me, bed is for sleeping and “stuff”. Not screen time.

[molten drift]

I mean my bed is almost like ,2-3 times my size as it's a queen and I don't fill a twin so. I'm ok with using it as a replacement couch.

[fossil frost]

a good, properly made, electric recliner couch, is your friend 😄

i have one, and its fucking awesome

[tribal wyvern]

mine is tiny but im linus sized

[molten drift]

But those are expensive and all my money is going to magic cards this week

Theirs 4 cards in the new lord of the rings set that are going for several thousand dollars... So... I'm gonna try to get one.

[tribal wyvern]

jesus

[fossil frost]

so... gambling? 🙂

[tribal wyvern]

i thought i spent money recklessly

[molten drift]

The one of one globally one ring is a million dollar card.

[tribal wyvern]

at leats I dont gamble

[misty scarab]

what encoder should I use for AMD?

[fossil frost]

(not that there is anything wrong with that... you are perfectly entitled to do wtf you want with your own money)

[molten drift]

One of the numbered ring of men, elves, and dwarves a set of one of each is 20,000$

[tribal wyvern]

i mean it is still reckless spending, but if u have the budget then u can do it

[lunar anchor]

If your not going to buy in mega bulk you will loose money

[molten drift]

Ok.... I also play the game and am trying to get other cards in the set...

[lunar anchor]

TCG player

[molten drift]

Yes I am.

[lunar anchor]

I tried getting cards through packs one year and I was out 15k on something that would have ran me 1300

[molten drift]

It's a nice thing that lets me get out of the house meet people and get my brain going.

[tribal wyvern]

i spend money on fumos, because i enjoy them

[lunar anchor]

Meant website lmao not card game player hahahahah

[tribal wyvern]

if ur hobby is harmless, and u can afford to still live then go for it

[fossil frost]

any hobby that gets people to go outside and do... something... with other people... is well worth spending money on

[lunar anchor]

This

[molten drift]

I mostly buy the bundle boxes... Which are 40$ for 8 packs ..

[lunar anchor]

Hobby's are money sinks

[molten drift]

Less of a money sink than a boat

[fossil frost]

im an amateur triathlete... i get a bucket full of money, and just pour it into the ocean...

[lunar anchor]

The best decision I ever made was to start viewing my spending in that way, and stopping my spending on Hobby's just cus I thought I might make money

[molten drift]

Plus it's not like I can really upgrade my PC much lol so I have tcg and video games for my extra money

The money is not the only reason I'm buy the cards.. it's the reason I'm buying the 86$ bundle box over the 63$ bundle box lol.

[fossil frost]

i buy a new pair of running shoes every couple of months, new tyres for my bike every 6 months, new goggles every 2-3 months. have to keep up with maintenance of 2 bikes, have to buy new running kit and cycling kit as the old stuff wears out... just so i can swim across a lake, then ride round it a few times, then run round it a few times 😄

[tribal wyvern]

im thankful my hobbies tend to be fairly small

only audiophile equipment + fumos + mlp anything

[fossil frost]

i have a bike that cost more than most peoples car...

[molten drift]

Theirs MLP magic cards...

[molten drift]

Personally I have an Optimus prime mtg card in my deck

[tribal wyvern]

@molten drift i posted my fumos in #off-topic if u were curious

[low rain]

At my school me and my friends had a field trip at a rock beach and there were a lot of big logs so we made a big fort with them that has walls and everything even a gap as a window so we could have a view and then somebody knocked it down cause they got dared to do it

[molten drift]

Didn't know what a fumo was

[tribal wyvern]

touhou plushie

they start at $60 per plush and are made to order

[molten drift]

No idea on touhou either.

Most the plush I want are of vtubers and out of production

[tribal wyvern]

authentic fumos sell for $100-200 per fumo used, if all the badges and stuff is together depending on the characters

[fossil frost]

https://www.northroadcycles.com/product/ares/?configure=now#product-content-form-section anybody else spend £5,350.00/$6,774.70 on their bike? 😄

[tribal wyvern]

because they are only made available to buy, one time, for a specific amount of them a preorder

[molten drift]

I can't ride a bike no balance and never learned

[tribal wyvern]

also same ^

[polar fern]

Just a space saving 2 computer dual screen setup for gaming & photo/video editing & watching YouTube.

[tribal wyvern]

my proprioceptive sense is awful

[tribal wyvern]

use a KVM switch

[polar fern]

No

[tribal wyvern]

why have 2 keyboards and mice

[fossil frost]

ah ok, fair enough... im a 6ft4 mountain goat... if i didnt know any better, i would say that i was a robot with gyroscopic stability

[polar fern]

Because one is a mac & one is a pc and I use them for different things often at the same time

[tribal wyvern]

you use them at the same time?

[polar fern]

Uh yep

[tribal wyvern]

how?

[polar fern]

With my hands? How else you use a keyboard & mouse?

[tribal wyvern]

you c ant use them at the same time

[graceful burrow]

You use your phone and a pc at the same time

[tribal wyvern]

unless you have 4 arms

[polar fern]

No I don’t use phone & pc at the same time.

[graceful burrow]

Not you

[polar fern]

when I’m using computers, the phone sets off to the side, usually charging

[frail narwhal]

Why would that not be possible?

[polar fern]

I mean clearly my setup is designed for two computers that I use at the same time. I am allowed to move my hands between the mice and the keyboards….

[tribal wyvern]

i mean operating both pairs of mourse + keyboards

[polar fern]

well that makes it my setup, not yours, I guess right?

[tribal wyvern]

i was just curious, if it works for you then thats good

[polar fern]

not only does it work for me, but I used to have two separate macs back in the day at my place, one with one screen and one with dual screens and that worked fine too

[tribal wyvern]

which mac model?

[polar fern]

Back then it was a PowerMac G4 & an iBook of some spec or another

[vapid smelt]

after 27 yeras our freezer is dying

[polar fern]

Did… did it freeze up?

[frail narwhal]

is it overheating?

...transits was better

[vapid smelt]

its turning into a refrigerator

[polar fern]

Coolant low? Compressor oil bad?

[fossil frost]

noooo... i had one in my shed that was about a week older than me... die last year 😦

[vapid smelt]

no clue we are geting a free one from my dads work so its not a big problem

[polar fern]

Yay.

Definitely contact an appliance recycling company to handle the old one because there are gases and metals and stuff in there. They are actually valuable and need proper disposal.

[vapid smelt]

my work takes old fridges

[polar fern]

Woop

All set then!

[plush knoll]

This is shaded after grape not atomic purple

grape was also called midnight blue in japan notably

(there were at least 2 different atomic purple prototype consoles known to exist though so thats right at least)

[elder stirrup]

[stoic beacon]

What are some good reasons to utilize Google workspace accounts instead of gmail accounts? My cousin runs a small business, and right now, she gives out the old gmail account to all customers, vendors, etc., signing up for everything with it, instead of the Google workspace accounts they all have now.

I'm having a hard time convincing her to stop doing this by just saying "If it gets hacked, you're screwed because you can't get into anything." What might be some other reasons?

[fossil frost]

if workspaces gets hacked, thats the same deal, you are fucked, its still tied to a gmail account

if anything, the whole workplace gets taken out

[stoic beacon]

True, but the advantage is, we can give out alias emails instead of the actual email

You can't log in with an alias email.

[slate tulip]

do you plan to be a single person business forever?

[fossil frost]

you know that cloudflare will do an email alias, with all sorts of super spam filtering.. for free, on a custom domain

[slate tulip]

what happens when you hire someone to manage your PR and give them access to gmail, and then they change the account info?

[stoic beacon]

She is working for a company with 25 employees. Everything they do is through Google workspace except for this one email.

[slate tulip]

if you go to google, they will ask why you didn't just use their business email

[fossil frost]

ah... in that case... use a proper fucking email address...

"it looks more professional" "its safer" "its more secure" "it seperates work and personal"

[stoic beacon]

I'm trying to come up with other reasons to give her employer, because she's too braindead to listen to just one reason.

[junior mason]

but do i need to add my domain to cloudflare if i want email alias on a gmail acc (inc sending mail)? currently can only receive emails with google (using wildcard so it forwards everything ending with my domain to me)

[fossil frost]

yeah, you have 1 free account with CF, and you use them as your dns server, and re-create your domain records on CF, and then use their email forwarding service

[junior mason]

ah thx, guess ill check it out, sounds pretty good!

[lunar anchor]

i feel the running shoes bit, i have a stock of them, its actually an issue, especially because my city is walkable to like half the time i go out for a run it becomes the rest of my day

my fiance hated it but she has come around

[fossil frost]

i buy new ones every few months because i wear through them.. they are only good for about 700-800km... and im doing that in 2-3 months

[lunar anchor]

considering I walk everywhere in my running shoes as well and my fiance has standards for the state of my shoes, they last like 2 months for me

[polar fern]

@scenic tapir so?

[hardy lagoon]

I've got a liquid cooling question.

[lucid echo]

Hello it's me, liquid cooling answerer

[final lily]

I'm going to blame sleep deprivation, but i would like some feedback. I just won a bid on a old dell machine I'm thinking of turning in to a vintage XP gaming machine. The only thing I don't full care if it is fully era appropriate is the GPU. So I'm wondering: what modern gpu has these three qualities? Inexpensive/very likely to be available locally. -has good enough drivers that is windows xp/ win7 supported and is sipping power compared to flagships of that era?

[hardy lagoon]

So I have the Corsair 5000d right, and it has the side fan mouts and the front and back ones.

I recently discovered that this case also has space for 6 top mounted fans if you add a radiator.

So, the radiator is sandwiched between a push pull fan setup.

But, I don't have enough fans to fill all the fans slots.

Do I do the radiator fan sandwich OR, do I do the normal radiator setup and then add the last three fans to the side of the pc?

[lucid echo]

If you plan to ask around about that, you should always make clear in the post/question that you won't be connecting it to the internet, because you will always 100% have someone hounding you for the security risks involved with a project like that

[molten drift]

That's all your choice and depends on your pressure choices for the case hurricane

[lucid echo]

Push pull makes the tiniest smallest difference, you're better off just doing a normal setup

[hardy lagoon]

Okay thanks.

[final lily]

Course, i have modern machines i don't allow to speak to the wider Internet

[lucid echo]

But yeah, ultimately it's up to you. Either way it's gonna run fine. I would personally do a normal pull config, two top, one in the back

[frigid chasm]

option 2

[lucid echo]

I'm sure you're taking proper precautions, just make that clear. Everyone is gonna ask

[hardy lagoon]

Sounds good.

[final lily]

Fair enough. The less machines that i have connected to any external network the better. I run just local disconnected networks for older os's and machines that i won't be bothered if i need to wipe and start from scratch

Linus Czech Tips

[polar fern]

Need to buy a pack of M Disc DVD-R’s & BD-R’s

[old solar]

I'm trying to find a clip of where Linus talks about how bad google voice is on android where he tries calling his wife. It was on the WAN show I just don't remember when

[broken folio]

I have a feeling it was the show before Taiwan.

[polar fern]

3 shows ago

[broken folio]

But he's also mentioned it in several other videos, some on short circuit, usually when testing cars

[polar fern]

He did it a second time too

[broken folio]

voice recognition is a pile of garbage still sadly in a lot of ways

[old solar]

Yeah just trying to find the clip so I can show someone

It was like he had one contact with the name and google couldn't find it

[broken folio]

if I were me I'd probably by now have changed contacts to single words it did understand, but I can understand why he wouldn't want to

the voice recognition really struggles with accents as well

[manic torrent]

look, it's fine if you are a 20-30 american sounding white man, I don't know what your problem is!

[graceful burrow]

Hey that's me!

[broken folio]

Probably being a 40+ brit with a accent 😉

[wispy marsh]

It has happened on at least three WAN shows

[manic torrent]

most voice recognition these days works for me close enough - names? yeah that's hard, but I mean for common words. I am strayan though

[broken folio]

I think at this point he mentions it at least in passing most WAN shows

[rose hawk]

You know what would be absolutely cursed

[broken folio]

It really struggles with the way british place names are pronounced too 🙂

[manic torrent]

I will be moving my voice recognition to in-house this year though

[gilded forge]

atmos is so overrated. like its so bad (and so wildly expensive)

[rose hawk]

Nvidia entering the CPU market

[wispy marsh]

No, only the ones where ML/GPT/VA is involved

[broken folio]

Which is a lot recently

[wispy marsh]

Thrice

[manic torrent]

I mean... sort of, and old news

[broken folio]

They already are with ARM chips. They cannot make x86 chips.

[rose hawk]

Wait what

[wispy marsh]

He means something cheap that he can personally use

[manic torrent]

step 1: it's 9:30ish, get up
step 2: have a shower
step 3: somehow it's 10:30!?!?!?

[broken folio]

Grace chips are ARM CPUs

[wispy marsh]

Your old, bob

[echo canopy]

how good is grace?

[wispy marsh]

Go witness young shenanigans in melb city hub

[broken folio]

no idea

[wispy marsh]

It'll make you feel young again

[manic torrent]

oh, it won't, it will make me feel older 🙂

[wispy marsh]

[broken folio]

but the gpu cores are what does the heavy lifting. But the video Linus did in Taiwan on them is rather impressive spec wise

[rose hawk]

Wait

Arent they for a specific use though?

[broken folio]

the specific use of running linux to feed the GPU cores

they make DPUs too remember, so the networking is offloaded to those

[echo canopy]

I assuming its a shitty ARM refrence design aka nothing better then what snapdragon or google does rn

[broken folio]

(As for why they can't make x86 chips, it is because they'd need a licence from Intel, and that ain't happening)

[echo canopy]

and AMD

[rose hawk]

Lol

[echo canopy]

AMD owns the x86_64 extension and intel own x86

[broken folio]

only for the x86-64 parts

[rose hawk]

Now people have the possibility of having a blue team computer

[manic torrent]

which are, lets face it, essential.

[echo canopy]

very

[broken folio]

https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-introduces-grace-cpu-superchip

[echo canopy]

even arm 32bit is dead

[broken folio]

yep. very much essential. Plus theres all the extensions related to dfifferent functions that would need to be licenced

[manic torrent]

not for low power applications, but i nthis sense, yes.

[broken folio]

x86 32bit is going to be dead soon if Intel has anything to do with it with their x86S proposal

[rose hawk]

Also isnt Intel going to launch their 2nd generation of GPUs? Or atleast announced

[wispy marsh]

They already have a perpetual ARM license. They could make x86 execution units just like how Apple did, but realistically enterprise apps already have arm support for the longest time

[manic torrent]

at some point, yes.

[echo canopy]

They could make x86 execution units
Not even intels own cpus "implements x86 in hardware"

[broken folio]

They don't need to for the data centre ad they'd just run linux on it, so no need. Those grace cpus will not likely be seeing a consumer release, so x86 compatibility is not really likely to be a requirement

[rose hawk]

Man it seems interesting seeing Intel enter the GPU market now everything is getting more competitive

Is it a good time to get an arc?

[manic torrent]

imagine that. Although, that doesn't have a huge amount to do with it right now.

[rose hawk]

I heard they've fallen in price

[manic torrent]

you 'heard'? on the grapevine? Did you bother to check?

[rose hawk]

What was the original price of the A770 when it launched wait

[echo canopy]

Created to provide the highest performance, Grace CPU Superchip packs 144 Arm cores in a single socket, offering industry-leading estimated performance of 740 on the SPECrate®2017_int_base benchmark.(1
Considering they name int math specfically i assume their FP math is horrible

also EPYC out preforms it

[manic torrent]

if you're doing FP math on that chip you've done it wrong.

[echo canopy]

On that chip specifically yeah but it mean they wont be making a competitive consumer cpu any time soon

[rose hawk]

Oh the A770 didn't change much

However the A750 dropped from 290 to around 240

[manic torrent]

or ever, really. They have no need to, and no desire to. They absolutely don't give a shit about the consumer CPU segment

[broken folio]

you would probably be doing FP maths on the GPU cores

[manic torrent]

exactly

[echo canopy]

harder to price gouge because of intel and amd /s

[wispy marsh]

I believe it's part of the "x86_64" spec tho

[broken folio]

more that they make so much money from the data centre/AI sector that the consumer division is quickly beoming a after thought to them. In a recent wan show Linus suggested that the geforce division should be spun off.

[echo canopy]

No modern cpu implements their ISA in hardware
they merely "support" the instructions

[wispy marsh]

So my A15 Bionic can run AVX512

[echo canopy]

If it had the bytecode translation layer for it yes
and given some other register fuckery

[broken folio]

Epyc is much more mature as a product line compared with these Grace CPUs. We will have to see how they grow over time. But ARM CPUs are definitely a growing trend in the enterprise/datacentre market

[echo canopy]

Highly doubt

[full fossil]

hi

[echo canopy]

Too much already exists for X86 and compute wise ARM offers little over x86

[manic torrent]

also EPYC stops working after 1000 days 😄

[broken folio]

compute is on the GPU

and nVidia kinda have tha sewn up

[echo canopy]

You cant run everything on gpgpu
BRB gonna parse my json on the gpu

[broken folio]

when you say too much already exists for x86, you're referring mostly to windows I assume?

linux really doesn't care what the hard ware is

[manic torrent]

yeah nah

[broken folio]

it is a case of a per need basis rather than one fits all

[cedar pebble]

That’s why fpgas exist 😏

[broken folio]

a company doing ML/AI will likely choose nVidia

[polar fern]

Predictive modelling

[cedar pebble]

1000%, can confirm

[manic torrent]

if only you could run java, .net, python, webservers, blah blah etc on arm

[broken folio]

a company doing airflow or fluid dynamics might choose epyc x3d chips with nvidia gpus

[manic torrent]

it's not even 'choose'

[broken folio]

I was being generous 😉

[cedar pebble]

Well, you do have other options but it depends what the company does

Tho the training will still likely be cuda

[broken folio]

Exacly, they'll just what is best at the time they look to put a system in place

[echo canopy]

Too much already has optimizations / SIMD for x86_64 based cpus

[manic torrent]

too much WHAT

[echo canopy]

library?

[cedar pebble]

Nvidia has made dgx really easy tbf

[echo canopy]

only stuff that was originally intended to run cross platform had serious optimzations for arm already

[manic torrent]

what libraries are you talking about

[echo canopy]

idk maybe intels own math librarys /j

[echo canopy]

Because they fail to actually utilize the hardware to the fullest extent.

[manic torrent]

you say that, but they do, and they fucked over people using matlab

[manic torrent]

Everything fails to use the hardware to the fullest extent.

you talk like arm hasn't been used for decades to do all sorts of things

[echo canopy]

more so them. java and python have no real SIMD/uarch optimizations.
While .net does expose common SIMD afaik its not commonly used

[echo canopy]

AFAIk oneMKL only implements x86?

[echo canopy]

It has but not seriously untill very recently due to performance issues. A extremely large issue with arm

[manic torrent]

... what the fucking shit are you talking about

[echo canopy]

Arm cant compete in per core performance? It never has even with apples M2 chips

[manic torrent]

who gives a shit

[echo canopy]

maybe in power efficiency but that's its own issue

[manic torrent]

per-core outright performance is a good way to swing your epeen

[echo canopy]

When youre paying per U in a server or in some cases per socketed in software licensing cpu performance matters

[manic torrent]

....

you're making blanket statements like 'arm has a large issue with performance' and backing it up with niche use cases.

power effeciency is a HUGE issue in the data center

also more power effecient -> less heat -> more density.

[echo canopy]

even excluding SIMD which gives x86 and even bigger advantage arm based solutions have performance issues.
modern x86 cpus can be significantly power limited while maintaining around the same base line of performance
Server cpus are already power limited by nature

[manic torrent]

you seem to be hung up on "ARM isn't a direct drop in replacement for x86 in a large number of cases" - this is absolutely true. It's also not important.

[wary summit]

fuck discord usernames

[timid meadow]

So, ive always told people not to use windows built in upgrades to move to 11, but if i make sure theres nothing important on my system i should be able to say fuck it and let it upgrade right?

[echo canopy]

If there is nothing important on it why not just fresh install
Window needs that quite often anyways

[timid meadow]

Lazy

[manic torrent]

why not upgrade?

[timid meadow]

In the beginning there were a few bugs with it. Figured by now it should be safe enough 🤷

[echo canopy]

The only issue ive had with it is the new dropdown menu which you can disable with regedit
besides, you know, being windows

[timid meadow]

Oh, plus my wife hates logging into things. So i try to avoid a total wipe on the main gaming rig

[echo canopy]

no password manager?

[timid meadow]

Havent gotten around to it yet. Ill see what i can setup easiest for her tho. Already looked into usb keys a lil

[hasty geode]

In my case, my laptop's (which is a secondary system, not my primary pc) main os is linux, with a small partition dedicated to a w10 dual boot. Installing w11 from scratch could nuke my boot partition and I 100% didnt feel like also reinstalling my linux partition just to try out w11, there's no way i'd take that risk. So I just went with the w10>w11 upgrader.

[timid meadow]

All our stuff is spread between google, firefox, and samsung

One of em will have the right passwork kek

[hasty geode]

If Microsoft was less shit about boot partitions, I would've totally done a fresh install

[echo canopy]

if its a small partion i assume you're not gonna be doing anything like gaming so why not virtualize it in linux?

[timid meadow]

Ive gotta do some network management on my next days off. Guess we will make a backup and give 11 a go. If the upgrade bugs, ill fall back to 10 till i have time for a clean install

[hasty geode]

Quite the contrary, it literally only exists for gaming

Because there's one game I play for which some software I use 100% does not have a linux port and can't be virtualized

[graceful burrow]

Every phone is arm
All new apple hardware is arm
All raspberry pi and a lot of arduino is arm
Most chromebooks are arm
Your fucking microwave probably has an arm architecture chip in it

[echo canopy]

small formfactor, low power, low compute. Not server

[graceful burrow]

To say they're not used seriously in general is disingenuous at best

[broken folio]

you'd be suprised what some tasks work well with lower power, but LOTS of cores can work like

[manic torrent]

oooh, low power phones. I see that's why phones don't run demanding software.

[broken folio]

I mean thats the whole thing Mainframes have been doing for decades and they're still used

[graceful burrow]

Apple m1 Is not low compute

That fucker screams

Also

[echo canopy]

even the m2 is decimated by zen 4 in compute

[graceful burrow]

https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/

[manic torrent]

I wonder if AWS developed their own ARM CPU!?

[broken folio]

but the zen4 can't get 18 hour battery life

[graceful burrow]

Fucking aws uses arm
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about

[broken folio]

so there is always a trade off one way or another

[manic torrent]

.... again, by what fucking metrics. jesus

[graceful burrow]

Alibaba also makes their own arm stuff for their exchange

Like I said
Disingenuous at best

[broken folio]

arm is dominant because it is highly efficient and above all else companies can customise it to their requirements.

[echo canopy]

I know AWS has not only arm but their own ARM solution. I didnt say it wasnt taken serious at all. I just said it hasn't till fairly recently if you read my original fucking message.

[graceful burrow]

I did
This isn't recent

Therefore that means nothing

[broken folio]

Risc-V is seen by some as a hope for the future, but budging arm from its position of dominance is not going to be easy by any metric

[graceful burrow]

I'm excited to see where risc-v goes

[echo canopy]

for computers it is fairly recently when ARM dates back to 1985

[manic torrent]

are you a groundskeeper? Because those are some moving goalposts

[echo canopy]

i didnt move my goal post

[graceful burrow]

If they aren't they should get a job as one with a raise for prior work experience
They're pretty damn good at it

[broken folio]

for a chip designed to be an accelerator for the BBC Micro ARM has certainly come a long way

[graceful burrow]

Humble beginnings

[manic torrent]

while we are ragging on you for insane shit takes.

[broken folio]

and apple was involved in the early days of ARM as well, due to the Newton.

[manic torrent]

windows does need a fresh install quite often. I mean I installed this system just the other day, in early 2020.

I have only changed video cards and CPUs and motherboards multiple times.

[echo canopy]

every gamers benchmark cinebench and geekbench. I mean even lower core zen 4 parts can beat it in single and multithreaded. /j

[broken folio]

Interestingly Apple is a generation behind ARM with their A and M chips as they're ARMv8.x designs rather than the ARMv9.x designs that are more recent

[manic torrent]

because that's how you benchmark servers.

You certainly don't compare PPW and density

[echo canopy]

I mean current ARM server cpus are even worse in per core preformance and cant compensate with enough cores compared to zen 4 epyc

[manic torrent]

which makes them WORTHLESS GARBAGE

I spit on you, ARM !

[echo canopy]

I never said it was worthless. Its just not as good.

[manic torrent]

"good" is a stupid metric.

[echo canopy]

correction, windows needs it because of shitty software made for it that does not actually delete all its data when its uninstalled*

[manic torrent]

you don't buy "good" servers

[arctic pollen]

They have completely different intentions

[echo canopy]

sure

[wispy marsh]

Windows is quite something

[graceful burrow]

It is indeed something

[manic torrent]

what kind of bullshit are you installing and uninstalling!?

[wispy marsh]

I reinstalled w11 a few weeks ago, and my existing suite of problems just went away

[echo canopy]

battle.net is the first that comes to mind

[graceful burrow]

If you install battle.net you deserve the issues you get tbh

[echo canopy]

sorry but i havent finished coping with overwatch 1 being dead

[graceful burrow]

Skill issue

[wispy marsh]

I recently saw this linux called NixOS

It'd be good if users could choose to let packages keep their dependencies in distinct, contained folders

[echo canopy]

I thought nix was already containerized ?

[wispy marsh]

Whoops, I meant to type for windows

[gilded quest]

[wispy marsh]

Right now some programs install in program files, some in appdata, some in programdata, some on your desktop, and some in a sixth dimension

I used to find going out alone boring but now I find it fun, I’ll go somewhere like go on a hike and listen to my music while I look at the view and now I enjoy it

[wispy marsh]

Here's a fun fact about #public-chat I traveled into the future, and plugged my now ancient phone into the most advanced smell-o-vision device I could find.

After loading this chat no matter what setting I tried it still smelled like shit underneath.

[strong scaffold]

is it alright for me to open to read a spam email or is it risky

[strong scaffold]

cause I got one earlier \

[small zephyr]

windows 11 can be so anoying sometimes

i just needed to manually search in windows update/driver catalog the deivers for the xbox wireless adapter

since windows 11 cant seem to fetch em itself

[thorny axle]

Well

If you have automatic image generation on, they can tell that you opened the email

Apart from that, I don’t think they can really do anything to you unless you click something inside

[wispy marsh]

I have a copy of the driver for this very same issue

[small zephyr]

maybe i should have gotten an newer gen of the xbox one controller

[wispy marsh]

I used to run Ameliorated, and since the windows driver installs alongside xbox app from the msstore, you can't find a reputable source publicly

[vague perch]

can someone help me in tech chat 1 pls

[vapid smelt]

is it risky to open a cage with a sleeping tiger in it?

[small zephyr]

but 15bucks for the first gen xbox one controller with play and charge and the wireless adapter was a nice deal

[vapid smelt]

if you buy me dinner

[vague perch]

[vague perch]

[vapid smelt]

and it has to bee cooked by gordon ramsay

lol i just notice i made double almost tripple the money on the nintendo switch i sold yesterday

[strong scaffold]

No lah

[small zephyr]

i've got that switch for like 90bucks used and sold it for 250

[strong scaffold]

But seriously, is there any risk to opening a spam email just to read it

[manic torrent]

It's not without precedent that opening an email has caused a problem, but it's very unlikely.

[graceful burrow]

they'll know you open them and send more

[manic torrent]

.... depending on a huge variety of things, maybe

[graceful burrow]

all it needs to know is if an image gets loaded

[manic torrent]

which it wont by default.

[graceful burrow]

which it shouldnt* by default

just report and move on
ezpz

[manic torrent]

as I said, depending on a huge variety of things 🙂

I mean, the easy thing to do is to spend the next 5-10 years dedicating yourself to understanding computing fundamentals, programming, meoery management, networks, and cyber security so you can accurately judge your own risks 😄

[vital trail]

I always use my email inside a virtual machine. I"ve never been "hit" by just simply opening it inside my inbox.

[manic torrent]

It works for me.

[strong scaffold]

Go figure, automatic image loading was enabled by default

Anyways, running a full scan right now

[manic torrent]

1. that's extreme paranoia, for a normal person this is entirely OTT.
2. You haven't, but it has happened.

[graceful burrow]

nobody ever said it'd give you a virus lmao

[manic torrent]

automatic EXTERNAL image?

also running a local mail client increases your odds of being pwned by about 4.2 bazillion percent.

yes. The problem is that people say "will this be ok" and the answer is 99.9999% yes, it's fine. The problem is that it's non-zero.

i need to buy an new ender3 hot end since my thermal probe is dead and i wont find like singles ones

and i just dont want to buy like 20thermal probes lmao

[manic torrent]

hmmm? I have a spare one RIGHT HERE

[near nymph]

They gave me this. They are my customer for 3D printers

[small zephyr]

🤔 i think i just dont have enough experience to fine tune my biqu h2 v2 so i wanna go back to the stock hotend for now

[manic torrent]

I have a biqu hot end. never used. kek. I butchered my existing 3D printer for parts

[small zephyr]

but welp an complete hotend assemble costs like 12 bucks

[manic torrent]

I think I will build another one soon though with aluminium extrusion

[small zephyr]

i only own one printer

i kinda wanna build a new one tho but from scratch

[manic torrent]

I own zero 3D printers now, but I own one monitor platform, and one crane.

[near nymph]

You know thermistors are supposed to be replaced every few months of printing? If you have the stock creality hotend? Perfect. Don't get the cheap replacements off Amazon. Alot of them are very low quality.

[small zephyr]

since i found theese ridiculous 1300x1300 heating pads

[near nymph]

I own a 3D Print shop 😂

[small zephyr]

having an 1,3x1,3meter build plate seems hilarious

[manic torrent]

My primary problem is space. I really want a mid size CNC, and I've got everything I need to do it, but I just don't have the space to house it.

[vapid smelt]

massive nerd

[small zephyr]

🤔 building an frame for an print bed this big is gonna be fucking expensive tho

and theese heating pads uses like 500wats alone xD

[near nymph]

500w isn't alot of power for heating a bed....

[small zephyr]

they scream like modifying an 100owatt pc powersupply seems good for that xD

[near nymph]

And if that's 500W for the 1.3mx1.3m... Don't waste your time

[small zephyr]

i dunno my ender 3 is like 300ish watts psu i think

[near nymph]

If you need a bed that big. You need a higher wattage pad and SSR to run directly off AC because you'll cry over the PSU

[strong scaffold]

So what now, just leave it?

[small zephyr]

a wait its more like 1000watts for the 1300x1300

[crude jasper]

was 500W for my 500x500 bed

[small zephyr]

i found an 500x500 silicon heating pad with an controller that directly plugs into the wall xD

well fact is i wanna build an bigger printer and buying the big ready one kits are freaking expensive

in that case buying some extrusions and the other parts stand alone is cheaper

[near nymph]

Well... I'm building my own large scale printers... It's fucking crazy

[crude jasper]

that's what im doing, i just gotta figure out what parts i wanna buy.

[small zephyr]

to be true the thing thats the most expensive about diy building printers here are the extrusions and stepper motors

[autumn flume]

random question but does anyone know how to remove the ram check on windows 7 ISO

[small zephyr]

cuz if you build a ridicilously big printer you prob need a lot of em

[crude jasper]

i want 1 or 2 metres by 1 or 2 metres, then dual extrusion

[crude jasper]

nah you only need one extruder

[small zephyr]

nah on that size you want more like quad extruder xD

[crude jasper]

it's very nice to have dual or two though

[small zephyr]

extrusions not extruder

[near nymph]

I already have a proven working design I'm building myself.

[small zephyr]

extrusions are the frames

[vapid smelt]

But do you have the metal 3d printer that ltt got?

[near nymph]

I got one better in the works... A coldspray metal printer

[small zephyr]

and for an 1000x1000 you prob want an steppermotor in all corners

[near nymph]

Imagine not using Servos

[crude jasper]

you mean extruded aluminum ?

[small zephyr]

like you will most likely build an square frame instead of ender style only z axis in the middle of the print bed

[near nymph]

The problem with aluminum extrusions is ... There is like a over 100% tariff in Canada 😂 for importing aluminum extrusions from China

[crude jasper]

yes you build them the same way a z and x axis crane works

[near nymph]

[small zephyr]

having the extruder move forward backwards with a printer is better as the 1000x1000 print bed miving forward backwards

[crude jasper]

can't import from USA?

[small zephyr]

yeah the alu pofiles that holds everything together they are called extrusions

[crude jasper]

we just call it extruded aluminum here

[small zephyr]

imagine an 1000x1000 bed moving around

[crude jasper]

it can move you'd just either be super slow or severely limited on print height

[near nymph]

Y'all are under estimating how much of a pain it is to design a large printer

[crude jasper]

no i know how hard it is

[small zephyr]

yeah thats why its better to build an frame where the extruder makes all the moving

[near nymph]

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned "CoreXY Kinematics" or "Cartesian Kinematics"

[small zephyr]

🤔 dunno how all that shit is called theres so many words to describe that stuff thats its just confusing

but i think most prebuild big printers are core xy

[near nymph]

Mhmm... Please do your research. Before actually buying everything haha

Speaking of which... Where the fuck is my aluminum cutting blade for my miter saw

[gilded quest]

i did 0 research before buying my 3d printer

[near nymph]

Buying one... Not assembling one

[gilded quest]

true

[near nymph]

Like building one from scratch no instructions

[gilded quest]

yolo

[crude jasper]

im just gonna toss the tuning part to my dad.. he'll find time

fucking hate tuning 3d printers'

[zenith cradle]

i have a theory, HP is run by hippies that secretly want to turn off gamers and non gamers from ever again buying a PC, this to promote a lifestyle more in tune with nature.

[near nymph]

Ah... What printer did ya build? @crude jasper

[crude jasper]

have only assembled one myself ~but i helped a friend tune his custom one and it was a total pain in the ass

took us hours

one i assembled/bought was the artillery 2 iirc

[somber crane]

So I'm in argentina, only way not to get f-word-ed by custom taxes (50%) is ordering from newegg. Is there any hardware item you'd recommend under $20-30 that has changed your life, hardware wise?

Currently looking to buy: nvme (1 or 2tb), ak400 zero dark, mx4 20g, and maybe a 5800x3d

[zenith grotto]

what currency?

[vapid smelt]

FUCKED

[south stone]

I have a small amount of money ($350-400) on paypal.

[wary summit]

lOGITECH G305

[south stone]

Newegg lets me both: pay taxes within the site, and have free shipping via UPS. Which is a really cool way to save money.

If I buy from any other site: I'd pay pesos argentinos, but a $500 pesos argentinos to $1 rate... plus 50% tax on top of that.

[wary summit]

only 50% pfft

[wary summit]

or find a friend in import

[zenith grotto]

its this your currency?

[south stone]

How's the g305 size wise? I have ... pretty big hands (23cm)

[south stone]

That sounds about right!
Although currency is weirder within my country, we can't buy at the official conversion.
We have a "black market" (called blue market... for silly reasons) so instead of paying $250 for $1 us dollar, we have to pay $500 for $1 us dollar.

[zenith grotto]

ah

my god
its just been dropping

[south stone]

There's sharp declines every few years.

[zenith grotto]

i can see

[south stone]

When we had a right wing president, currency went from $17 to $40 instantly.

But it stood there ($40-45) for 4 years.

When pre-election results came in, and we all knew a left wing president was coming (i mean, left wing doesnt matter) and we knew there was going to be severe limitations in buying the currency it jumped from $45 to $80 within a day.

That's why that ... lovely (not) decline.

I guess it's why there is 3090's for $400 over here, no sweat.

3070's / 6700xts for $200-220 to 3090/6900xts for $380-420.

[zenith grotto]

damn

My hand is like 23cm (ehhh... 9 inches)

[vapid smelt]

7.5

[south stone]

Last mouse that fit nicely was the intellieye 2.0 😦

[fervent prairie]

G502 is decently big, but I would recommend the new x variant because it doesn't have the double click issue.

[full fossil]

i highly recommend the G502 for big hands

Ngl I'd consider using a 2015 phone

ok

you dont need a $1000 phone

True

i have a iphone SE and its fine

I have a One plus 2

[full fossil]

i have 9 inch hands too!!

I got the phone for free so it's cool

ive never heard of that phone

Yeah it's old

I got the best model also

i found out wearing thigh highs makes you better at video games

Lmao

[full fossil]

i saw a video about it and tested it

I got the 4+64gb model instead if 3+16gb

[south stone]

Right? How do you feel about going claw? The deathadder elite is... its been okay but not ideal. 😦

[full fossil]

and i played jetstream sam dlc on mgrr and my igt went from 1 hour to 30 minutes

[south stone]

Same with the diamondback 3g i had before that. 😦

[full fossil]

And linux

[full fossil]

claw is kinda uncomfortable for me, im gonna get a lightweight mouse, im worried it'll be too small lol

[full fossil]

i dont use linux

My phone is also an android 6.1 phone

oh

[vapid smelt]

you use a iphone?

[full fossil]

yeah

I'm somehow only using 5.5gb of 64gb on my phone

i dont use my phone much, just for music and stuff

music and netflix mostly

I'm using 2.6gb on the apps and 1.1gb for images

[elfin jetty]

[wary summit]

this width or height

[full fossil]

[vapid smelt]

AND to watch ltt

[exotic spindle]

you use programming socks

[wispy marsh]

The day has come

[vapid smelt]

do it no balls

[wispy marsh]

[wary summit]

yea, i got an ultra rare one

planning on selling for $2000

[wispy marsh]

Wait until they revoke it and change it

[wary summit]

nahhh

i'm suing

[vapid smelt]

so rare a account made in 2019 got it

[wary summit]

i've had nitro before, that's probably why

[slate tulip]

You got it! Woot!

[lunar anchor]

this, tbh mice have gotten so good that comfort and looks are really all you should look for

[lunar anchor]

i deleted my account that I made in 2015 for some reason and now someone else took my name

[vapid smelt]

[wary summit]

not supprised, but if you can provev that you had the account in 2015, discord will likeley give it to you

[lunar anchor]

I dont care, and the person who has it was nice

also considering i moved to japan several years ago now the name change makes sense

i probably could have gone for shruikun but i was using shruichan already and shruichan has a better ring to it

[wary summit]

lol

[wary summit]

people will pay a pretty price for anything Anime related

[lunar anchor]

my name isnt anime related or at least the original isnt

also as a sidenote have any of you guys read house of leaves

[summer folio]

You pfp is from that bandage kids anime tho?

[crude jasper]

mine is

[lunar anchor]

friggen love made in abyss

[crude jasper]

originally mando now banagher

[lunar anchor]

Translating that series was probably one of the best things I ever helped out with

outside of my work lol

[crude jasper]

MSG top-tier

[lunar anchor]

gundam is a solid 7/10

[crude jasper]

which ones have you watched

[lunar anchor]

ive watched most

[crude jasper]

cause TWFM is 9/10

[lunar anchor]

high 7 low 8

my scale has 5 be average and most things get a 5

7 is super high in my books

[elfin moth]

So, I enabled DMs on here, because I wanted to see how strong the filters are in the new Dev Update of Discord. I am not encouraging you to try and break them, but I am keeping DMs on to see if it will actually stop people from reaching me altogether

[crude jasper]

i factor in OSTs alot into my ratings

[full fossil]

I'm surprised a 7 maybe 8 year old phone is holding a decent charge still

[crude jasper]

MSG having almost entirely OSTs and they're all good, is great

[lunar anchor]

music is great but i factor how its used in the show

[crude jasper]

in unicorn and narrative its used very well

[lunar anchor]

that it is

[crude jasper]

TWFM is a little below those two in terms of soundtrack, however the opening/endings for it are top-tier

[lunar anchor]

gundam is great it just fails to do something truly remarkable, that is aside from creating the whole giant robot genre

or well popularizing it

[crude jasper]

it's just a very character development/very long plotline kind of anime

atleast its not as bad as fucking one piece 🤣

Fuckers will stretch 10 chapters up to 30 episodes

[lunar anchor]

yeah

as a sidenote bokurano is amazing if were on teh mecha topic

[crude jasper]

the anime is probably 20 ? episodes away from gear 5 reveal

[lunar anchor]

as in If your ok with some pretty dark content I consider it essential watching

[crude jasper]

idc how dark animes are

that splat from TWFM season 1 ending made me kek

[lunar anchor]

i wouldnt say its dark, the show has an attempted R*** in a way where the assaulting character isnt demonized

or well it is for sure dark

[crude jasper]

then you have goblin slayer

[lunar anchor]

its done much much much better than goblin slayer

i dont want to spoil much but the show is kinda about what morals mean and it uses stuff like that to make a point

[south stone]

Is there any case that's green and/or plant or flowers inspired? 😮

[crude jasper]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3w7j5vtYOyNoB2hewUgn0G?si=77be496f8e5b49ee one of the best endings imo

[manic torrent]

There's the wooden one that came out recently.

[lunar anchor]

whats the song name i dont use spotify

[crude jasper]

No man's dawn, its the overlord IV ending

[lunar anchor]

ahhh yeah

[manic torrent]

But you can also paint or wrap or sticker or decorate your case however you like. There are no rules.

[lunar anchor]

thats good, ill be honest though the overlord ost wasnt mastered very well

if you wanna talk about underrated ost's tho Log Horizon slaps

[crude jasper]

probably like 60% of the songs i have in playlists are by sawano

[lunar anchor]

sawano is good but he cant carry a playlist

[crude jasper]

with instrumentals? he can

[lunar anchor]

man does know how to make a drop tho

[crude jasper]

if its mainly vocal songs there's better artists

[lunar anchor]

idk no playlist is complete without the orchestra rendition of pheonix wright

[crude jasper]

6th mob symphonic-mobile-suite "UC"

and re:mix0096 from narrative

top-tier

[lunar anchor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAEme4q0W4Q&ab_channel=ZonaRandom(revista)

[crude jasper]

you've probably heard this right? @lunar anchor

[lunar anchor]

lmao yes

[crude jasper]

the band in the background is my favorite part about that music vid

[crude jasper]

lmfao this gives me MMORPG vibes

[lunar anchor]

thats the point, the show is about an mmorpg

the entire playerbase got isekaid into it, its done real well and well the ost has memories in it for me

[crude jasper]

that seems cool

[lunar anchor]

i was big on wow, it actually is one of the reasons i got into CS

[crude jasper]

i played WOW classic when i was 8 years old for like 50 hours and stopped playing the game

[lunar anchor]

if you havent seen log horizon its nothing SPECIAL but its plain good and if you have any ties to mmo's its more than worth the watch

[crude jasper]

i have a shit ton of classic discs

[lunar anchor]

i tried to go for a world first around cata, but i left at some point

[vapid smelt]

Watching Others Wee?

[lunar anchor]

world of warcraft

[lunar anchor]

idk man

lions pride is the song that got me to spend ungodly amounts of money on audio gear

hard to beat that

[crude jasper]

🤣

[lunar anchor]

like it had my crying, and then like a few months later i spent 4k on headphones

[crude jasper]

have you ever heard of crusader3455

[lunar anchor]

and well lets just say ive spend alot more since

[lunar anchor]

yeah never really followed him tho

[crude jasper]

he's just so fucking crazy

[lunar anchor]

lol

[crude jasper]

have you watched him scream big dam judge and then run to his bed and start doing crunches and curls

[lunar anchor]

no

[crude jasper]

its so fucking schizo

oddly enough i can't find any clip of it

[lunar anchor]

lmao

[crude jasper]

one night i just watched him for like 3 hours at 2AM, do not know how that guy is a real person

[lunar anchor]

im past wow now, ive been doing singleplayer games

[lunar anchor]

guy seems like he is having fun

[crude jasper]

people troll him in chat alot and he gets super mad and will talk about perma banning for like 5 minutes straight after ONE guy does something

[lunar anchor]

lol\

[crude jasper]

[dusty rune]

[south stone]

Oh really? Because they are stupid cheap on newegg.

$44 for the G403

$49.99 for G502
I'll admit, I don't like THAT many buttons, and size seems similar, the G403 looks like a win to me.

[vapid smelt]

https://blog.logitech.com/2020/09/15/logitech-g-introduces-hero-25k-sensor-the-industrys-highest-performing-dpi-offering/

[dusty rune]

i mean yeah it has a bunch of buttons but theyre nice sometimes

the infinity scroll is so neat

[summer folio]

Infinity scroll?

[south stone]

Hold on, the G403 doesnt have infinity scroll? 😦

[dusty rune]

idk what its called

[dusty rune]

idk honestly, check for yourself and tell me

[summer folio]

My Microsofts SideWinder had that in the end.
Scroll so worn out from forum scrolling, it spin for idk maybe 10 seconds before stopping

[tender geyser]

Does the wireless g502 have the infinite scroll

[dusty rune]

probably

[tender geyser]

Wireless g502 is so much more expensive man

[dusty rune]

cause its wireless

[fierce moth]

yes

[summer folio]

But is the scroll wheel even metal?

[fierce moth]

Then do some push-ups because they are good for you

[fallen cedar]

commit to CSGO sensitivity and practice 180 flickshots 18 hours a day

[astral pawn]

Hey why dont we call wireless mice hamsters? cuw hamsters are mice without tails

[fallen cedar]

and drink water

[astral pawn]

im a valorant player 😅

[fallen cedar]

because thats dumb

[crude jasper]

exercise helps your reaction time in game signifcantly

[fallen cedar]

[full fossil]

G pro wireless hamster

[crude jasper]

its why women have lower statistics for reaction time ~ in reality, an athletic woman and athletic man are near identical in reaction time. it's just that the average man inherently has more muscle mass, so the statistic is inflated in mens favor

[fallen cedar]

so does copius amounts of methamphetamine

[distant wren]

Why don’t we call Linus tech discord members LTT premium members

[vapid smelt]

and better bones and bigger lungs

[fallen cedar]

okay post reaction time rn

[astral pawn]

Cuz yes

[distant wren]

I love sports! Women football is so weird it’s fun to watch
