“Twitch Star Signs $100 Million Deal With Rival Platform”

“Félix Lengyel, a Canadian known online as xQc, is signing a two-year, roughly $70 million contract, with incentives that could push the total to about $100 million, said his agent, Ryan Morrison.”

[manic torrent]

fuck that's insane

[past egret]

i think its funny that twitter showed me a twitch ad immediately

[quick basin]

u think twitch has a chance of dying tho?

[quick basin]

they getting desperate

[near nymph]

When you have shady casinos running the show. $100M is a drop in the bucket t

[manic torrent]

Ugh. Gambling is horrific

[near nymph]

I like gambling... To a point

You know how much fun the stock market is?

[manic torrent]

Oh I mean, I have had fun gambling and I don't care a huge amount, but the impact it has on so many people's lives is fucking awful

[frigid chasm]

you would love csgo

[manic torrent]

It's one of the few industries I refuse to work with/in

[frigid chasm]

theres multiple industries?

[near nymph]

Eh I worked in defence before. Well with... Yeah I know people are probably gonna die.. meh?

Gambling I know ruins lives... But eh? It's fun. If it isn't fun why tf is it a entire industry

There's always up and downs

[frigid chasm]

defence ruins more lives

[near nymph]

Oh I know. Something I made probably killed some poor Palestinians

[near nymph]

BUT DANG THEY PAY WELL

Honestly. If I didn't do it. Someone else is gonna... Sooo

That's how I sleep at night.

The medical industry is also pretty fucked

[frigid chasm]

sounds like a pretty terrible way to live

[near nymph]

Eh not rly. These defence companies no matter what is gonna do whatever they want. $3000 for a cap? Deal. $100,000 for a bolt? Deal

If they want something. They can buy it

I like how one of Apple's arguments against the USB C requirement was that it'd limit innovation. Like what? They didn't innovate a thing.

Hey guys i got big question. Im currently running 6900xt but it has some issues and i will rma it.Since it will go rma i think i sell it after they repair it.Im looking for another card and since 4080 is pricey i will go amd again.In poland 7900xt costs 4000zl for red devil limited edition model while which is around 800bucks while 7900xtx costs around 6100 so around 1200bucks.Does this diffrence makes sense? i mainly play 1440p warzone or diablo

[unkempt widget]

the china that existed in 1898 did not exist in 1997

[crude jasper]

yes it did

also 1898? thats way far back

more around 1949

[unkempt widget]

the qing dynasty, that signed the treaty that would give hong kong back to china in 1898, did not exist in 1997, which is when the treaty said would give hong kong back to china

did not exist

because the qing dynasty fell in 1911

[crude jasper]

neither did the PRC

[unkempt widget]

in 1997, the UN had recognized the prc as the official state of china

meaning britain had to turn hk over to the prc

the second closest would've been giving it to the roc, which had been kicked out of the mainland since 1949, and lost recognition in 1971

also britain did not need to risk a diplomatic incident over hong kong

[crude jasper]

yes which is 🇹🇼 as he said

[unkempt widget]

yes, but there's not much of a reason to give it to the roc, which wasn't even the real china no matter how you look at it

either by who signed the treaty, or by un recognition

[crude jasper]

it is the real china ~ the PRC is a shithole of a country in comparison

[unkempt widget]

...

how good of a country is irrelevant in terms of its legitimacy

[crude jasper]

yet both exist and both are china

[unkempt widget]

the roc brought their failure upon themselves

[crude jasper]

what??

[unkempt widget]

white terror

and mass corruption in the roc

made the us end support for the roc in the civil war

[winter adder]

[dapper cobalt]

my cabinet's front two usb 2.0 is not working, can it be repaired?

[unkempt widget]

if you have any idea how shit the roc was, just know that the taiwanese rather preferred japanese occupation

(until chiang and his party purged taiwan of its indigenous population)

and keep in mind, i'm not denying communist atrocities commited by the prc

it was just as bad, perhaps worse

[crude jasper]

it was worse

[unkempt widget]

let's not compare atrocities

[crude jasper]

🤣

[unkempt widget]

the roc was in no shape or form any better than the prc, especially back in 1949

[crude jasper]

they weren't communist

[unkempt widget]

they weren't communist, and they managed to kill 40 thousand people in taiwan by landing their troops there and killing everyone they see on the streets

[burnt bone]

Why are we discussing PRC vs Taiwan here lol.

With that said I think it's a bit... Bad that the entire world is using Taiwan as an advanced semiconductor company

[unkempt widget]

it's not about ideology, it's about how they treat their own people

[burnt bone]

Bad as in, China can just bomb em ez

[crude jasper]

USA threatened to do that ~ that is not advantageous to china.

[burnt bone]

Sure there's Samsung Semiconductors and Intel Semiconductors.

[unkempt widget]

the prc is only communist in name, especially now in 2023

[burnt bone]

But those two are too small

[crude jasper]

they still have communist policies ~ the only reason they exist still is because they adopted capitalist policies, turning them into a shitty socialist/hybrid

[burnt bone]

I meant bleeding edge Semiconductors

[crude jasper]

OK by the time china is set to do anything, USA will have more production

PRC wants to capture that production, not destroy it.

[burnt bone]

Intel better build more Intel 7 fabs then

[unkempt widget]

that is absolutely not the only reason why they adopted capitalist policies, they adopted capitalist policies because they realized how shit of an idea communism was in china

[crude jasper]

i didn't say that was the only reason

[unkempt widget]

during the 80s, china went through a period of reform and freedom under the leadership of deng

china is a very individualistic society, people there are not very friendly to each other and mistrust each other

[burnt bone]

Alright if people still think China is communist they should be taken not too seriously.

I mean cmon, they've beaten the US at their own game.

[crude jasper]

What a wonderful not appropriate discussion for this server

[unkempt widget]

sorry :(

[burnt bone]

I remember when Singapore had advanced semiconductors. Chartered Semiconductors. Known for fabricating shrunk dies for the Xbox360 and caused it to not Red Ring

Now it's been bought by that fab that spun off from AMD I forgot the name

Ah right, Global Foundries

Market was too competitive and TSMC got us. I think this is what Samsung might face next.

[burnt bone]

Doesn't China has its own FinFet fab company though? SMIC? SMC?

At least they have that. And the Zen1 AMD64 architecture. They also have access to RISC-V and Loongson.

Won't be market competitive but if all they want is some sort of backup I guess it's fine.

[unkempt widget]

idk much about that topic, but i'm pretty sure china's not allowed to manufacture the most modern processes or whatever it is

[crude jasper]

they're allowed to, it's more of an incapability thing

[unkempt widget]

also makes sense

[burnt bone]

No I think that's Russia, not China. Here's what I know so far. There's two x86_64 CPUs that China has a hold of.

Zhaoxin - Started off somewhere in late 2000s, technology bought from VIA.
Hygon - Bought from AMD, carbon copy of Zen1.

Both have full Linux support. You can find them mentioned in the config files for Linux.

[unkempt widget]

you sound like an AI rn

[burnt bone]

As for other exotic processor architectures, China has Loongson and Sunway. Loongson may or may not be based off of SPARC64

[burnt bone]

Bro I'm not an AI. I'm just an I

[unkempt widget]

well i'm not even anything

the thing is that doesn't matter hugely - a few gens behind is still amazing in terms of getting stuff done. Just not cracking it for the best density and AI workloads.

[zenith cradle]

Screen brand reccomendation? for overall build quality and lasting long

[summer folio]

Not Samsung, mine has a green line in the middle of screen.

My LG 3D 120hz Dual-Link monitor works flawlessly on the other hand.

Also bought 7 AOC 2560x1440p 32" monitors, but returned 3 of them because of dead pixels. 1 of the ones I kept had a dead pixel I massaged inte being alive.

Samsung monitors known for panel lottery

The Samsung I bought had a great panel for reviews/early batch, then changed to 2 lesser good/different levels of bad panels.

[zenith cradle]

I bought a used 60hz 1440 asus with lots of movement options, i've loved it for years. Wondering if i got lucky or if asus is solid

[bitter girder]

Fellas what is your average electricity bill for using your PC

[summer folio]

3$ maybe?

[zenith cradle]

3$ per hour?

[summer folio]

month?

[zenith cradle]

decade?

[timid meadow]

I dont even know man. I stopped looking and just adjust my usage when i get a bill that looks weird.

[zenith cradle]

my bill is right now on average 1$ per kwh, so my whole system including screens cost 50w-200w to keep on, let's say 150w 10 hours a day, 1.5kwh. 1.5$ daily.

[timid meadow]

My 1500va ups (has all the important stuff) idles around 150va for 2 rigs that run 24/7.

[summer folio]

Laptop charger is rated ~60w?
50w*10h = 0,5 kWh * 30 days = 15 kWh * ~20 cents per kWH including taxxes = 300 cents/m = 3$/month

[timid meadow]

I think i pay like 13 cents per kwh average or something

[rain dust]

Bro how do you ask your boss for your pay

[zenith cradle]

woops, i mean 10 cents/kwh, not a dollar :D, so 15 cents per day for me.

[graceful burrow]

"how much am I making right now?"

[timid meadow]

Law X says you owe me Y

Aldon and i heard 2 very different questions kek

[rain dust]

That would break trust/relationship kinda ngl

[zenith cradle]

''i did not see a transfer yet, is there some delay in the banking, or some issue in accounting, sir?''

[graceful burrow]

They're your boss not your friend

[rain dust]

Not wrong, but he already said not minimum due to training but a certain amount thatll keep rising

[rain dust]

No bank acc

[zenith cradle]

cash or cheque?

[rain dust]

A part of my family kinda knows him and doing sth like that would worsen my reputation likely

[rain dust]

Cash as far as im concerned

[zenith cradle]

''am i not supposed to get paid this day of the month?''

[graceful burrow]

You did work
You get paid
If they don't pay you
That's illegal

[zenith cradle]

they're asking HOW to ask for the pay, how to escalate if needed, we all know what you just stated.

[rain dust]

I mean yeah, ok let me rephrase my question

How do i ask for the money while getting my point across but not being too demanding/not nice

Dont wanna be passive agressive either

[timid meadow]

The problem here may be them getting paid in cash. Under the table has risks both ways

[graceful burrow]

"where is my money "

[zenith cradle]

@rain dust something like this, the goal is to give them an out, and show some good faith.

[rain dust]

It is under the table, despite that due to certain factors its highl, unlikely i dont get paid (without going into detail)

[timid meadow]

Hey boss so my rent tried to pull and it bounced, any ideas why?

[zenith cradle]

could be they forgot, or is working on the numbers, honest misstake.

[rain dust]

We didnt choose any day etc.

He just said (a week ago) he has to think about how much per hr. He gives me since im in training and set up my taxes bc it wont be under table anymore

[rain dust]

He is kinda clumsy ngl

[zenith cradle]

Then ask ''what day of the month will i get paid'', or something.

[bitter girder]

Wondering cause I got a bill this month costing 40 dollars (a lot of money) and the only two power consuming things I have are my PC and the washing machine my mom uses

[zenith cradle]

not clarifying hourly rate is a bit of an issue, i guess you just trust him to pay a decent amount.

[timid meadow]

No lights? Tv? Electric heater?

[rain dust]

A week ago i asked "when do workers usuall, get paid" and he just said i can think about it and get paid any way i like (weekly, biweekly, monthly)

[rain dust]

I had a rough idea due to talking to a past worker, not great but fine

[manic torrent]

My power bill is like... uhhh... $100/mo? 150? I can't remember.

[zenith cradle]

40$ for a month of electricity is very very low unless you live in a poor country. it is common to pay 500$ or more for old/large houses.

[timid meadow]

Mines similar to bobs. Maybe a lil smaller

[manic torrent]

we have relatively power effecient stuff but we run it lots

[zenith cradle]

my power bill in half of a old house not heating it all in winter is about 1000$ a year.

[full fossil]

@therunefox

[dull granite]

hello toastedbob

[bitter girder]

I live in a poor country so that's why it's kinda a big deal actually

Used to have around 10 dollars per month on electricity

[dull granite]

hello hardwaregoblin

[rain dust]

I think ima just ask "hello, i just wanted to ask when do you want me to work the next days and when could i expect my pay?"

What would you think

[summer folio]

What about refrigerator/freezer? biggest power consumers in my apartment.

[unkempt widget]

not even taking into account your lights?

[zenith cradle]

GPUs take a whole lot of power, washing machine very litle in comparison. i googled it: ''how power to run a washing machine''.:
400 to 1,400 watts
On average, washers use 400 to 1,400 watts of electricity – this number is highly dependent on the model you have. Using a washing machine 3 times a week will use about 140.4 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. It costs an average of $1.66 to run a washer for a month, and $19.92 to run for a year.

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah and also what r3mpuh said

[bitter girder]

And had 2 months where it was basically almost free

But then again I'm thinking it's because of a typhoon that hit me that made me render not my electricity for about a month

[unkempt widget]

a computer would only take around 60-70W on idle though

[zenith cradle]

that's fine.

[bitter girder]

Could be, my seal is a little loose from all the rats that's been biting my stuff

[timid meadow]

End users be like "why wont my pc turn on?"

Well did you try plugging it in?

"Well a typhoon hit and the wall isnt there anymore so...."

[zenith cradle]

most PCs yeah, but then a 4090 makes it 500-700w instead, so it is highly dependant. you gotta count your screens too, those use a lot of power at high brightness.

[bitter girder]

Lol, what about monitors when they are off

Oh yeah I could save on the screen brightness.

It's a Dell office monitor

[unkempt widget]

a 4090 will absolutely not draw 700w on full power, never mind on idle

[bitter girder]

Maybe I should try to use my PC less. What would be the difference in using a laptop for YouTube and discord calls

[timid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/sleep-time-gif-25989080

[manic torrent]

laptops use a LOT less power

[zenith cradle]

i did not say a 4090 will take 500-700w, i said the system. PSU wastes loads of power, fans and screens use a lot too.

[zenith cradle]

phone uses a lot less power

[bitter girder]

My phone has been lagging a whole lot. I know that it uses a lot less power

And also I'm refusing to update my discord mobile

[zenith cradle]

laptop also uses very litle power compared to desktop GPUs and procesors

[unkempt widget]

a 4090 does not cause a computer to use 500-700w on idle, and psu wasting power is at around 20% based on its efficiency rating, fans will barely use more than 15W, screens massively depend and will most like not exceed 40W

[zenith cradle]

using a laptop on it's battery is good, never have it constantly connected to the charger though, that often increases it's powerdraw and performance, and ruins the battery.

[bitter girder]

I guess that also my power supply being on F tier (not on Purpose) could be the very reason my PC is sucking up so much

[unkempt widget]

wtf replace that

[bitter girder]

Planning to however I cannot find any power supply that's affordable and efficient

[unkempt widget]

it is kinda a risk to use an F tier psu

[zenith cradle]

are you not even adding the numbers you are stating together? if you're somehow thinking i ever meant 500-700w is on idle, you're incredibly bad faith.

[unkempt widget]

because how often are people going to be using the system on full power

[zenith cradle]

WHEN THEY ARE GAMING, you're in the wrong discord dude

[unkempt widget]

how often does that happen? probably less than 100 hours a month

[bitter girder]

It's not my fault really, i had ordered what I thought was a c or D tier psu (I had an apu at that time) but instead they sent me one that's listed on F tier and I felt bad (and also had to pay for shipping) to refund it that I just rolled the dice

[zenith cradle]

100 hours a month is an insane amount

[unkempt widget]

and during gaming, you're not gonna always hit peak power usage

most games will not make use of 100% of the 4090

[bitter girder]

Let's say I use around.. 6 hours per day, mostly on YouTube or discord. 5 times a week I play a game that pushed both the GPU and CPU near 90%

[zenith cradle]

YT and discord use almost no power, so your system is mostly on idle then, i'd say that is 50-150w depending on system and screens, my Asus uses like 5w at night when i turn it to low brightness, but 30w at day.

[unkempt widget]

my system of 13600k + 4070ti uses 105 watts on cpu gpu ram ssd, and if you add on 20W on cooling and rgb, that becomes 125W

[tired glade]

How often do you play on that pc?

[unkempt widget]

not very often tbh

when i first got that pc, i decided to torture all the components by playing a bunch of triple a games, but i didn't play that much

now i mainly play stuff like csgo and rocket league

and even that, i haven't played video games for like over two weeks or smth

[summer folio]

Put fps limiter at 30, to save power while playing csgo.

[unkempt widget]

i've been going out way too frequently to have time to play video games recently

[bitter girder]

Well maybe once per day I try some other game then not open it. But let's say yeah I played Forza horizon 5 on high settings for like 2 hours for every 4 days

[unkempt widget]

either that or i was feeling too emo to play video games

[tired glade]

Fps cap doesn't change power draw

[bitter girder]

Wait it doesn't?

[tired glade]

Nope

[unkempt widget]

wtf

i remember seeing stuff like frame cap power consumption charts

[bitter girder]

Is this misinformation

[neon mesa]

FPS Cap do save power....

you can't tell me when i cap cyberpunk to 20FPS at low with a 4090 it will eat the full 400w

[manic torrent]

uhhh yes it does

[bitter girder]

I could try undervolting

[unkempt widget]

with your dodgy ass power supply?

[manic torrent]

a) FPS cap means it only has to generate that many frames.
b) Less frames == less work
c) less work == less power

[tired glade]

Tested it since gtx 480, there is minimal power draw of GPU that you can't over come no matter what

[unkempt widget]

yes, because that's definitely what the topic of conversation is

[tired glade]

And most of the time it's not far from idling

[neon mesa]

uhm but how does that prove fps cap don't change power draw

[unkempt widget]

because the minimal power draw of a 4090 is the same as it running on 100% power

[tired glade]

And idling is power target for low power system under load

Fps cap will bounce from that idle stage

[unkempt widget]

are you listening to what you're saying

[neon mesa]

honestly the fuck are you even saying

fps cap doesn't change idle power
it surely does change full load power

and GPU idle is like... below 10w

[tired glade]

Ironically 280 can hit that without problems,285, can't

[bitter girder]

So does a fps cap help or not

[neon mesa]

i always avoid malls and other places with many things
i only go either when with parents or BF
because they will fill my impulses

though my biggest weakness, is food

if i don't focus driving and look around while commuting i will eat something

[ashen zodiac]

also @neon mesa there's someone who always complains about my clothes (maybe they hate trans ppl idk) i wonder what they'll think of the first link

[ashen zodiac]

true, i can't lose weight i've given up. i love food too much

[neon mesa]

i eat a lot and still a skeleton

though sugary food mostly so low carb i guess

and beat saber will help me from diabetes... hopefully

[ashen zodiac]

my brother is like that. eats junk food every day and is super thin, i eat bad but not nearly that bad (i have my fair share of salad etc) and i'm 100+kg

as every update the year changes
but story mode is 2013

[ashen zodiac]

it's much easier to pass as a trans woman when ur short

[ashen zodiac]

but the game engine is 10 years old

it runs on the PS3 for gods sake, a console from 2006

[neon mesa]

well i did say i only care about the story settings

but tbf the engine is still solid

[ashen zodiac]

if u don't need high fps

[neon mesa]

my monitor is 75hz anyway

but for a 10 year old game it is solid

GTA 6 soon

[ashen zodiac]

same, i overclock a 60hz monitor to 75

[neon mesa]

i might need to get 64GB of DDR4 sometimes after i got my mobo and processor switched

i got 32GB 4 months ago
well it feels like shit because when i have 16, DCS world max it, i get 32GB expecting it would be enough
fuck it's still not, so i wasted money

[dull granite]

i got warned in roblox for uploading 'kiss your homies tonight' image as avatar clothing

You can still use it

[frigid chasm]

yeah, but why would you get that cooler?

Use the internet archive

Honestly the Reddit blackout is stupid and spez is based for remodding subs

[full fossil]

[frigid chasm]

oh yeah it should be fine

[full fossil]

ok ty

[frigid chasm]

its a 140w cpu so it should do well

[strange elk]

Imagine taking moderation action as TOS is followed

[full fossil]

Honestly the 1st party app is fine

Social media doesn't need the iOS design language

[strange elk]

Reddit has been pretty cringe NGL considering clearly they havent added accessibility to their app (as thats literally half the reason people are using 3rd party apps) and they're doing this

[round bridge]

My brother has a head dent lmao

[full fossil]

Such a shame that Christian needs to get a new job

Reddit blackout sucks but like.. Corpos like this are worse

Moment when Reddit is trying to make up for lost money

Shock horror suck it up and use the first party app

[strange elk]

I always did. I didn't care about 3rd party apps personally, but people need them because the official app is pretty ass

Between the video issues and accessibility

[full fossil]

What is wrong with it though? I understand the accessibility stuff but nothing else

[strange elk]

The official app has always had issues playing videos about half the time

my 6900xt is on its last steps and im gonna rma it then sell.Since here in poland 7900xt and xtx are not far off from each other in price i wanted to pick good model.I searched nad saw red devil limited and nitro+ from sapphire.Which will be better?

[round bridge]

Both are great

I think the red devil performs better in cooling

But sapphire is like the Evga of amd

[gaunt sluice]

so u mean sapphire has better quality overall ? something like that? heard same on reddit

[gaunt sluice]

i hear red devil has coil whine all time

[polar fern]

It’s mildly horrifying to me that people actually use reddit & take it seriously

[tiny saffron]

reddit is plenty useful for niche info

[full fossil]

Why

[tiny saffron]

because reddit can be also really, really, a terrible mess

[full fossil]

Better than some Fediverse bs

[tiny saffron]

bs happens everywhere just how reddit tends to bring out the worst due to the design

[polar fern]

It has been a cesspit since the beginning. Pretending that part isn’t there & tech bro “omg it’s so useful!” Is yikes

Folk comparing mastodon etc to reddit. Like, do you even reality?

[full fossil]

I would never use Mastodon

[polar fern]

Of course not.

[full fossil]

But there's fediverse alternatives to Reddit

[tiny saffron]

I use it mainly for getting poopost ammo

The LTT subreddit itself is an example of it, some people on there are way too obsessed with LTT and Linus himself

[tiny saffron]

reddit when opinion

[polar fern]

In the railfan community we call those folks foamers

They go berserk when they see equipment they like

[tiny saffron]

rail like train?

[polar fern]

“OMFGZ ITS TGE LOCOMOTIVESZZ”

Yes, but not all rail stuff is trains

An officially scheduled movement of equipment is a train, however, random movement of equipment is not a train.

[full fossil]

LTT subreddit users when Linus is a person and has a life outside of the internet

[tiny saffron]

Linus on rail

[polar fern]

For example: a locomotive moving from one yard to another is a train, but a locomotive switching in one yard and not moving from that yard is not a train. The locomotive does not have to be moving any cars between the yards to be considered a train

Linus transit tips

[tiny saffron]

thats kinda oddly specific

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

usually a definition is specific

However, foamers will obsess over supposed rules

[tiny saffron]

Have to be specific to be a super fan

[polar fern]

For example, in general diesel locomotives are not really allowed to run when in the tunnels or underneath Penn Station in New York

However, diesel locomotives can absolutely be run in the tunnel and under the station if they need to be

[tiny saffron]

Feels like the first timers are foaming at their mouth when they see all the technicalities

[polar fern]

If there is a bad connection with the third rail, or if a locomotive is idling to keep up air pressure or something of that nature, it is often allowed

No, the foaming is all about losing your mind when you see a particular piece of equipment

[tiny saffron]

Oh the rookies are losing their minds alright

[polar fern]

No. Not “rookies”

[tiny saffron]

Start to foaming foamers?

Just moving around the yard = not a train

[tiny saffron]

dude is having a great time

[polar fern]

Indeed. Foaming

[tiny saffron]

that thing can reverse?

[polar fern]

Well yeh

Most locomotives are fully bidirectional.

[tiny saffron]

i thought if a conductor overshoot the station theyre screwed

[polar fern]

Conductor is in charge of the train, engineer physically operates the equipment

Just like an orchestra conductor is in charge of the orchestra.

[dull tapir]

does elite controller only include single dome stick

and is it not available to buy online the second one

[dire oasis]

It only comes with one dome, idk about purchasing more

[gilded forge]

is Xbox okay

[dull tapir]

thx i guess i will not buy it then

makes no sense to sell 1 dome and 1 tall but alr

[gilded forge]

I'm xbox, but I have to say... the PS5 pro controller is sick. just letting you remove the stick modules is sickkkk

[dull tapir]

i wish i could get ps2 or ps3

[gilded forge]

my Xbox controller ia just an 8bitdo USB-C wired controller.

[dire oasis]

I want Xbox to bring back the duke

[dull tapir]

does 8bitdo not feel quite different

[gilded forge]

I've had 5 Xbox controllers in 4 years and all of them have developed drift

[dull tapir]

they are making new duke controllers and 360

[dire oasis]

I might buy a new Xbox just for that. The latest gen is great but the Duke fit my hands so much better.

[dull tapir]

i got 2 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controllers with stick drifts

[gilded forge]

ive just been using 8bitdo for most of my controllers. I have the 8bitdo pro wired for my PC, the pro wireless for my laptop, and then the Xbox one and a switch controller

[dull tapir]

despite having hall effect sticks

[dire oasis]

Never had any issues with drift and I still have the controller that came with my one

[dull tapir]

never tried the pro one but 2 ultimate ones had stick drifts

i very carefully use my stuff and i get stick drift

[dire oasis]

I have had young adults that beat on a controller and it developed drift

[gilded forge]

Hyperkin is making controller replicas. they have a duke controller with an LCD screen that shows the oh Xbox startup when it powers on. they also have a replica Xbox 360 controller that feels awesome.

[dull tapir]

right i forget the name it is hyperkin that is making new versions

is anyone gonna make ps2 replica

[dire oasis]

You tell me this right after I bought an elite 2 for ltx!?

[dull tapir]

all i see are xbox shapes

[dull tapir]

duke just came out not long ago but i hear 360 is already sending prototypes to youtubers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUrbQXiSgSg&t=214s

[dire oasis]

Appreciate the info, I’ll have to look in to that

[dull tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMM6qDbsvf0

idk how could anyone hold duke but i hear people really like it

i can barely hold normal xbox controller

[gilded forge]

I use an N64 controller daily. I can manage

[dull tapir]

makes sense depends how big your hands are and what you are used to

i will keep waiting for good ps2 replicas

[dire oasis]

my buddies and myself found that the duke fit in your hands better, the stick spacing was better and didn’t require you to do the ’c’ with your hand

[dull tapir]

my hand is 17cm long

[tired glade]

Oh,my,N64 controller

[dull tapir]

from palm to index 17cm

[dire oasis]

The series one controllers seemed to fit younger peoples hands better and tbh they’re the real market. A parent plays far less often than a kid.

[dull tapir]

still too big for me

only controller that fits me is ps2 and ps3

thinking of buying some aliexpress copies

but idk what is latency and deadzone

[tired glade]

I not big fan of asymmetric design

[gilded forge]

I kinda like Nintendo's approach of putting the sticks parallel and up top, it just fits my hands better

[dull tapir]

depends on the game you play

[tired glade]

Game doesn't matter for that

[burnt bone]

Speaking about controllers. How come PS2 dualshocks barely stick drift but newer ones do?

[dull tapir]

change in quality

[gilded forge]

companies got cheaper

[dull tapir]

razer got a lot worse

[tired glade]

Controller focus more on different things now

[dull tapir]

in past few years

[burnt bone]

Okay well I know why. But why didn't they just like, kept the same tech instead of downgrading them. Wouldn't bad controllers dent the sales of games and consoles?

[tired glade]

People more care about wireless controller than about drift

[dull tapir]

because it makes them earn more with manufacturing with cheaper materials and people require to buy new products

i care about shape the most

[burnt bone]

Razer has had been always dogshit. It's Shenzhen stuff at Apple prices.

[tired glade]

Drift isn't really a problem for 1-2 hours weekly gamer

[dull tapir]

i do not use gaming brands anymore

[burnt bone]

If you want good HIDs just go with idk, Logitech.

[dull tapir]

do you want your character to run one side when you hold your controller

[tired glade]

Oh, about that kind of drift

[dull tapir]

only gaming brands i use are monitors and mice speakers, headphones, keyboards i use everything else

[tired glade]

I am more about slides drift to sides or movement getting stack

[dull tapir]

i will probably wait for ps6 controller but i doubt it will be comfortable for me each year they go bigger

[tired glade]

PS4 one is smaller than PS3 controller

Ps5 is barely bigger

[dull tapir]

ps4 is bigger than ps3 because it is longer this is why i do not like it and less flat

ps5 is much thicker but not bigger

just buy keychron or akko

cheaper and better mechanical keyboards and you can customize them

[tired glade]

Do you have slim PS3?

[dull tapir]

i do not own a console

[tired glade]

Oh,l button pup out, that why PS3 controller looks bigger

[dull tapir]

ps2 and ps3 controllers are best

[tired glade]

That controller can be older than you

[dull tapir]

to this day i am trying to find a controller like that

[tired glade]

Ps5 still the best one

[dull tapir]

based on what

[tired glade]

Weight

[dull tapir]

but why care about weight

more than shape and feel of buttons

[tired glade]

Weight is main reason why PS4 controller feels better than ps3

[dull tapir]

that makes no sense

you hold controller in your lap

[tired glade]

Just playing platformer on both controller and you will get it

[dull tapir]

i do not care about weight

i only care about shape and feel

maybe if you use gyro

[tired glade]

Do you full covers controller with your hands?

[dull tapir]

i do not use gyro i only use controller for pc to play ps1 and ps2 emulated games

i find xbox controller least comfortable

[tired glade]

I can't hold controller in hands when hands are in different positions

[burnt bone]

It's called JoyCon because you've been conned into thinking it's in any way enjoyable

You're supposed to use the Steam Deck to play Switch games

[dull tapir]

switch ones are just awful

i will try aliexpress controllers

[burnt bone]

Nintendo Switch: Plays Switch games.
Steam Deck: Plays Switch games, Windows games, Linux games. Allegedly used by Ukrainian forces to control turret machine guns.

[dull tapir]

i could never enjoy portable devices

to game

[burnt bone]

I had a PSP. Fun as shit.

[dull tapir]

eye strain

true if you are out you have your phone and why game just wait until you get home

[acoustic pond]

the OG PSP from 2005 seriously felt amazing in the hand and a serious piece of hardware, even loading UMDs felt amazing, makes me wish I kept mine

[burnt bone]

Man the UMDs felt like some futuristic shit

[dull tapir]

because platformers are fun not shooting games on portable devices

[heady flicker]

a 3ds with today's specs would be pretty big

[tired glade]

Psp can't compete with iPhone, Switch fully segregating itself to be compared to phones

And psp hadn't Pokemon's

[dull tapir]

i have no idea why portable gaming would be suitable do you travel that much

[tired glade]

Or Zelda

[dull tapir]

literally do you go to the mall for few hours and you need to bring a gaming device with you

i could not imagine wanting to play games in public outside on beaming sunlight with traffic

[rich belfry]

What is traffic

[dull tapir]

i would also imagine people walking with vr around

these days i barely have any mood to game at home because there is only few new good games a decade

[young marten]

someone give me a decent thermal paste

[knotty oracle]

what gpu are you guys currently using?

just curious

[young marten]

4080

[dusty rune]

6700xt

[knotty oracle]

nice

[dusty rune]

wbu

[knotty oracle]

4090

i used to have the 2080. Nice card aswell

[tired glade]

Main window or workstation pc?

[knotty oracle]

main

[tired glade]

7990xtx

[knotty oracle]

thats a juicer

[tired glade]

Heavy downclocked

[knotty oracle]

why is that

[tired glade]

Power saving, don't play modern games

[knotty oracle]

i see thats smart then. i had to undervolt my i9 13900K lowering the voltage and putting the ghz at 5.3GHZ because of the heat

even with watercooling it can get quite hot unless i do this

[tired glade]

I switched from 7950x to 7800x3d on windows machine, just not worth more cores for games

I will put 7950x to another render pc later

[knotty oracle]

sounds like a good plan

[neon mesa]

should have gotten 4080 if you plan on saving power

the 4080 uses roughly 100w less power at full load

so you don't even need to do any downclocking and still get full performance

[knotty oracle]

4080 is more expensive tho no?

[young marten]

went from 2080ti to 4080

[neon mesa]

by like 100 bucks usually

[knotty oracle]

i see

[neon mesa]

but if you spend 1000 bucks on a GPU already what's 100

[knotty oracle]

true true

[neon mesa]

if it has more features and uses 100w less power

[tired glade]

It's under 200w

[neon mesa]

and the xtx probably running at significant performance loss

[tired glade]

And I don't want to touch Nvidia products

[neon mesa]

the XTX eats 350w default
while the 4080 do 250w

the 4080 at 200w will probably retain 90% of its performance

the XTX at basically half the power will lose near half the perf

[tired glade]

If games could use that extra power

[neon mesa]

and AMD is just as shit of a company as nvidia
so i don't see the moral standpoint

[tired glade]

It's still Nvidia GPU and that's game breaking for me

[neon mesa]

just because nvidia?

[tired glade]

Yes

[neon mesa]

you sound like those people who only buy nvidia and not amd just because amd

fanboyism is not good

[tired glade]

I have 4090

I just used it for a bit and it just laying around

[neon mesa]

AMD thinks undercutting nvidia by a small amount while being shittier at a lot of things makes them the good guy like lmfao

and a lot of fanboys certainly took it

[tired glade]

Nvidia is just to greedy for my taste

[neon mesa]

so is AMD

the XTX should be like $800

[dusty rune]

every company is greedy

[tired glade]

It's less evil from 3

[dusty rune]

the lesser evil is still evil

[tired glade]

But collection should grow

[neon mesa]

they're just as evil
AMD priced their shit that way because if they price any higher no one buys them

[dusty rune]

if amd could, they would price like nvidia

[neon mesa]

their pricing is literally as high as possible while still retaining some buyer

[tired glade]

But still won't use Nvidia in gaming system

[tulip wraith]

Do micro atx motherboards perform worse than normal atx?

[dusty rune]

no

[neon mesa]

when the 4080 is literally better than XTX in every way at only $100 difference

[tired glade]

If Intel will pull better than AMD, I will switch to it

[dusty rune]

not every ig, more like 99% of times

[knotty oracle]

don't you think there is a slight possibility that these companies care about their customers?

[young marten]

same performance usually just less features

[tulip wraith]

then what is all that extra space on normal ATX motherboards used for?

[tired glade]

Micro can be faster in ram compatibility

[neon mesa]

the 4080 eats 100w less power, that's enough to be better in every way even if xtx beats it by 2FPS

[dusty rune]

less vram and amd wins in davinci resolve

[rapid apex]

hi

[tired glade]

No,but upgrades are updates

[fossil frost]

for the same circuit, no... they are the same... but not all motherboards are the same... comparing an a520 atx vs a b550 matx, the matx in that case will likely perform a lot better... "the same" motehrboard, in whatever form factor, will be roughly the same

[rapid apex]

no embeds stfu

exactly this

[young marten]

some headers maybe a few more m.2 slots more ramslots

[tired glade]

There was probablem with spams

[rapid apex]

anyway I rather buy winrar every month than buy nitro

amirite or amirite

[tired glade]

Nitro also sub

[neon mesa]

nitro is why no one sees ads in this app

[tired glade]

Twitch sub also work

[rapid apex]

no our data being mined and sold to china is the reason

[tired glade]

What's ads?

[dusty rune]

this damn nitro puts food on the table

[neon mesa]

people paying $10 a month is infinitely more money than whatever data they extract per person

[tired glade]

I don't think it goes to China, it just sold anywhere

[neon mesa]

if they do sell data, it's probably at like 1 cent per user

[fossil frost]

people who bitch about paying for a service, are the sort of people who would also bitch about ads in a service... they are over entitled people who thinks the world owes them everything for free, and are in for a huge shock when they enter the real world

[knotty oracle]

i think nitro is worth it i like the perks

[tired glade]

Yes, that's our rights

[rapid apex]

Not always true actually, everything you ever said to anyone is in their database is just a SELECT query away, it’s freaking insane

[dusty rune]

i hate how they made nitro classic basically useless

[fossil frost]

reddit is different... reddit isnt charging a reasonable market rate, they are provably charging 1000x of times more than the cost, to force these 3rd parties out of business

[neon mesa]

you really think anyone buying the data gonna pay more than $1 per user?

[rapid apex]

I wouldn’t mind paying for nitro if we got E2E

[fossil frost]

the 3rd party tool producers were happy to pay a reasonable market rate, which would land in the 100s to 1000s or dollars, but reddit is asking for 10s of millions

[rapid apex]

but it’s economies of scale , data on millions of users is worth more upfront than per user

[tired glade]

Twitter open flood gate

[neon mesa]

chat history becomes doo doo with E2E
if you need E2E use something that actually has one

[dusty rune]

is the reddit blackout still going on

[fossil frost]

most affected tools were the moderation tools, but reddit thinks their logo is worth more than the millions of people that provide content to the site

[rapid apex]

an individual is not worth $1 but a million individuals are worth millions, it’s not a fair calculation

[dusty rune]

when who

[fossil frost]

some did, some didnt

[rapid apex]

Pls join lemmy

[neon mesa]

say, 10 million users at 10 cent per user is only 1 million bucks
which can be achieved by 100.000 nitro users and nitro users bring that money every month
and we definitely have more than 100.000 nitro users

[wispy marsh]

Discord is worth 10b last year or so

[tired glade]

Do we have estimates how much server power Discord use?

[rapid apex]

yeah but also consider they still have the option to sell or aggregate user data and the CEO is already on record of saying he just doesn’t care about privacy

[tired glade]

Was it 3?

[neon mesa]

subscription is simply way more money than data mining could ever give

[wispy marsh]

The last time I heard, I estimated around 200 sqlless servers

[tired glade]

Oh,that not that much for 300 million users

[wispy marsh]

Might be more now since Reddit and imgur turned off nsfw

[neon mesa]

like someone paying youtube premium for 2 months probably give more money than normal user ad revenue in a lifetime

[tired glade]

Discord is cleaning those too

[wispy marsh]

Correction: discord is disallowing partners to have nsfw

It's up to the partners to control it

[neon mesa]

wdym reddit turned off NSFW

[native crag]

Social media needs to be P2P where user's that own the comments can revoke encryption keys rendering cached content undecipherable (basically, deleted).

Tell the world " no, fuck you, I will not be monitized"

[tired glade]

That how we got silk road

[wispy marsh]

3p are no longer allowed nsfw, even if it wasn't adult content

[neon mesa]

what's 3p

[wispy marsh]

Whoops. Third party applications

[neon mesa]

you mean like something like apollo

[wispy marsh]

Yep

Apollo, moderating tools, bots

[tired glade]

Move on

[neon mesa]

twitter still going strong

[wispy marsh]

Go back to 4chan and twitter

[neon mesa]

or you know, actual adult website

like why the fuck are people using twitter for those

we'll see how long this blackout last, for now i have to use the cheat code

Win 11 will soon support natively

[rapid apex]

🥰

[native crag]

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-getting-native-support-for-7-zip-rar-and-gz-archives/

[neon mesa]

and will still probably use winrar anyway because it's much more intuitive than windows own tool

[graceful burrow]

7zip >

[neon mesa]

like how the current zip extractor on windows is shit

[rapid apex]

I think they’re using a third party library right, so it will probably be alright,, but honestly I think the hardcore users and nerd will still prefer 7zip or winrar

[native crag]

So, native support for decompression is nice. But I would still use the app for compression options and splitting of the archive for specific needs

[rapid apex]

Like will they have advanced compression options

[rapid apex]

Also is it actually just decompress for RAR coming to windows ? Aka no compressing?

[native crag]

I'm not sure. Decompression at least. Probably will do basic compressive options via Explorer just like ZIP is today

[rapid apex]

If anyone wanted to buy winrar though for the lulz I got 30% off with SWWINRAR30 lol

not an ad I don’t work for them! I just idk bored

[knotty oracle]

winrar dev is probably a billionaire anyways

right?

[rapid apex]

is he actually

[knotty oracle]

no idea tbh lol

i would assume so right?

[rapid apex]

I mean I’m sure he’s in the millions and well off

[native crag]

Well, the patant was only good for 20 years, so it should have expired back in 2015

I think anyone can opensource an app to use WinRAR format

[neon mesa]

not really extravagant, 5 million net worth

[knotty oracle]

i'll take that 5 million

[neon mesa]

for someone who created one of the most popular software of all times it is small

[native crag]

WinAMP

That was popular

[knotty oracle]

true i guess

[neon mesa]

winamp died alongside mp3

now everyone is on spotify or youtube music

i mean yea i'll take youtube music over scavenging hunt for mp3 files

[native crag]

https://www.winamp.com/downloads/

[crude jasper]

WinRAR gets its revenue from businesses ~ who are legally obligated to pay for the license

[rapid apex]

foobar2000 wants to speak with you

[gentle slate]

Using a 3.5mm to USB c adapter is so darn iank

[fossil frost]

as do microsoft

[gentle slate]

I made a fast charging toggle widget for me phone. Neat

[neon mesa]

most of microsoft revenue are servers and cloud alongside office 365 rather than windows licenses

[fossil frost]

a fuck ton of money comes from business windows licences

[native crag]

Not really, it's Azure and M365

[crude jasper]

i have a dozen or so 10 pro licenses laying around

[neon mesa]

their 2021 revenue details

[full fossil]

Nooooo intels getting rid of core "i" 😭😭😭😭

[fossil frost]

so, 23bn isnt a fuck ton?

i never said most.. or all

[native crag]

Intel sucks at marketing. The've perfected the art of stepping on rakes

[neon mesa]

it's still only 13%
your wording make it seem like it's their livelihood

and from 2022 data it's even less at 12.6%

[graceful burrow]

We knew that months ago

[neon mesa]

*less in percentage but nominally it actually rose by 2 billions to 25b revenue

[vapid smelt]

For some reason people are against this in Twitter, claiming they would use more plastic/metal to make phones thicker to accommodate this (it is true but the galaxy S5 is only 0.5mm thicker than a s23) and that we would lose iP/ water resistant which is false the Galaxy S5 was ip67 rated

[fossil frost]

bots owned by lobbyists who dont want this to happen

[fossil frost]

im pretty sure several older sony phones were still ip67 rated, and had replacable batteries

[graceful burrow]

Don't drop your phone then

[fossil frost]

dont drop your phone....

[native crag]

Win10 22H2 will be EOLed in Oct 2025, so enterprise is preparing a transition to Win 11. Also, they will need 8th gen Intel or newer hardware, so they will be lifecycling out old hardware when going to Win11

[crude jasper]

i am a little worried about water resistance, likely not an issue for like apple/samsung with how they design crap, but the S5 is nowhere near as water resistant as like a S23 lol

[fossil frost]

phones cost a lot of money... be careful with them...

[neon mesa]

they will simply reuse their win10 license to go to 11

[neon mesa]

you never wanna look at my phone then
poor S8+

[vapid smelt]

To fix the number one failure on a phone you need a heat gun and plastic shims to remove the back glass or screen on a phone

[native crag]

They still have to abide by the legal requirements of the license.

[neon mesa]

and they are not required to buy a new license

microsoft allows upgrading windows 10 to 11 without any charge

[native crag]

If it's enterprise, they're probably using a KMS server or MAK keys. They're NOT using OEM

[neon mesa]

doesn't matter, all they need to do is start an update

[native crag]

If HW is supported, sure

They will be piloting the upgrade in phases if not already

[neon mesa]

8th gen is already 2017
any windows 10 enterprise systems still employed now basically guaranteed to be eligible

[native crag]

There's old hardware still around. So a lot of 7th gen hardware will be dumped on the market between now and 2025

[fossil frost]

the thing is, you are arguing against choice, you are arguing that its better to have a phone become ewaste, than for it to be repaired when its still fine to be used

[native crag]

But hey, I'm good with buying old hardware as it's faster than a Raspberry Pi 🙂

[neon mesa]

i mean battery replacement fix is pretty simple and cheap

and you only need to do that like 6 years after the phone is released

[fossil frost]

that doesnt come into it... its all, or nothing, laws cannot loosely differentiate devices based on the OS it runs

[graceful burrow]

Great for Linux :)

[fossil frost]

define better?

[native crag]

Great minds think alike 🙂

[neon mesa]

i'm still using my 6 years old S8+

the 6GB exynos one

still very usable

[fossil frost]

my pixel 3 is still running perfectly fine for my 6yo... my p20pro is still running perfectly fine for my 8yo

[neon mesa]

remember that google phone that's basically a framework laptop

S8 exynos and snapdragon variant is basically equal
S9 is where exynos kinda limp

[fossil frost]

you are speaking from your own point of view, and ignoring the fact that all other points of view, and many other use cases exist...

[neon mesa]

S6's exynos tho. it was so much better than SD variant it's basically unfair

i might be confusing it with S7 then

[native crag]

Guess we're not getting solid state batteries in phones anytime soon. There was hype, then poof, nothing

[near nymph]

I kinda want a frameworks laptop

I could buy one...

[neon mesa]

solid state battery is kinda shit naming

lithium ion batteries are already "solid state"

[native crag]

Well, they wouldn't degrade, that's the idea

[slow sonnet]

My gaming PC can't update to Windows 11, so cone 2025, it will be left for dead unless I change it to a Linux machine or file server.

[fossil frost]

why not? we could get lipo batteries in the replicable phones, and then, some 3rd party, could release upgraded batteries, like we used to get.... without having to invest in a partnership with a particular manufacturer... just build something that fits the formfactor

[neon mesa]

you can simply remove the limitation lol

[near nymph]

Umm... Don't they have electrolyte solution?

That doesn't make them solid.

[neon mesa]

and SSDs have electrons moving, but still solid

[fossil frost]

replaceable parts... push innovation forward, because it allows the small guy the ability to create new technology without being locked out by the big guy

[native crag]

It's in solid form, not liquid

[slow sonnet]

But wouldn't that cause issues in the long term?

[neon mesa]

there is no issue

microsoft's processor limitation is entirely arbitrary

[fossil frost]

my sons 6700k is running win11 just fine

[neon mesa]

it's blocked by simple registry keys in the installer file

[native crag]

Hacked. But it doesn't offer VBS support

[near nymph]

It breaks a lot of stuff doe. Like Valorant Vanguard and shit

[slow sonnet]

My gaming PC runs on an AM3 processor. And 11 was made for AM4.

[fossil frost]

funny, my 11yo plays that on his win11 pc with a 6700k

[native crag]

Win11 requires Gen 8 for MBEC support needed to keep VBS (HVCI) performant

[neon mesa]

valorant simply requires secure boot and it will be fine

[near nymph]

Does it have TPM?

[fossil frost]

unsure, it may have the intel firmware one, the early version

[near nymph]

On windows 11 it also needs TPM2.0

[neon mesa]

tpm is a windows requirement, not valorant

[native crag]

Win11 needs the following

TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and CPU that's compliant with VBS / HVCI

[neon mesa]

even then it's an arbitrary limitation.
i'm running 11 without TPM without any drawbacks

[elfin solar]

E-waste due to design. Great idea.

[native crag]

Windows 11 is about security by establishing a baseline minimum

[neon mesa]

like there is literally no drawbacks of me running my windows 11 install on unsupported processor

compared to my laptop which do have supported processor

[near nymph]

Vanguard literally says it needs TPM...

[native crag]

You can, I'm not stopping you. But Microsoft would release an update that would hose the OS

[neon mesa]

been like 2 years, is see no such thing in sight

[fossil frost]

its literally a softlock...

[neon mesa]

windows 11 is like still mostly 10's code

hell even many software still report windows 11 as windows 10 NT

[fossil frost]

win11 is mostly a UI refresh on the win10 kernel code, with some extra tools added on

[neon mesa]

good fucking lord crop exists

[native crag]

So, VBS / HCVI is the final solution to speculative execution exploits without having to disable hyper-threading. If you really want to get to the brass tax of it all

[neon mesa]

you expect me to read that in 1080p

[near nymph]

It's readable. Tap and zoom

[neon mesa]

well idk how you got that issue then since i got valorant running on another windows 11 system without TPM

[near nymph]

Proof? 🤔 I'm curious

[neon mesa]

lmao msinfo still says version is 10

[fossil frost]

because the kernel version is not the UI version, they are seperate

[neon mesa]

it's already reverted back to 10 because of the user's preference.

[neon mesa]

the point is, it's still basically 10 under

last time i got valorant on my actual system is like over 1.5 years ago

because fuck that game and fuck CS:GO

sweat cesspool

[near nymph]

...

[fossil frost]

does it run on win10, on older systems? because if it does, that is an arbitrary soft lock too

[neon mesa]

val runs on win10 easily without secure boot and tpm

[zenith cradle]

Monitor brand tier list: go

[fossil frost]

dont look at brands... simple

[zenith cradle]

brands matter

[fossil frost]

sometimes, but not really... everyone buys their panels from the same 3 factories

and everyone buys A B and C rated panels... and everyone put them in all their screens

[zenith cradle]

Everyone has different processes of aquisition, and more/less care for their own reputation.

[neon mesa]

brand don't matter
models do

like when samsung made SSDs that die in a week

[fossil frost]

they made SSDs that literally just set fire to themselves, phones that just set fire to themselves... but also make some of the best SSDs there are, and some of the best phones there are

[strange elk]

Didnt hear of that first bit

[quiet condor]

hello beautiful ppl

[fossil frost]

gigabyte have made some very good PSUs, but they have also made PSUs that explode quite easily, and then said they dont, in the face of all the evidence

[neon mesa]

then made a revision that still explodes 1/3rd the time

[civic harness]

https://tenor.com/view/pba-owner-gif-20487293

[slow sonnet]

Yeah. I was thinking of buying an Acer laptop, but they're known to have low quality models. A small price to pay for being frugal, I guess.

[neon mesa]

you don't need to get shit for being cheap
lenovo provide superb low end models

i got my 1005G1 + MX330 lenovo for 300 buckaroos

back in early 2022

[near nymph]

Lenovo thinkpads when on sale are insane deals

[slow sonnet]

After considering the Dell G15 for its performance and price, I realised it would be too heavy to carry around. So the closest thing I decided on for what I want is a HP Probook.

[neon mesa]

no dGPU and intel iGPU

[crude jasper]

my intel iGPU at 10ghz will beat your stinky amd igpu

[gilded forge]

here's a run fact about Doscord mobile: clicking on links in bios do nothing, trying to hold and copy also does nothing. so you have to be at your PC (or suffer through the web app on a mobile browser, which is slow af on mobile browsers) just to check a pronouns page, linktree, yt link, Doscord invite; etc.

[midnight idol]

or use older releases

126.21 is my personal favorite

[gilded forge]

aliucord?

[midnight idol]

discord

there's public APKs for everything

[gilded forge]

yeah ik that, but the android mod for discord uses 126.21 so that's what i was asking

[autumn fable]

My c4 sfx arrived

[red grail]

Does Vancouver publish the number of annual trips completed on the lightrail/buss system?

[dull granite]

why the fuck google keeps showing me these inappropriate anime game ads

[fossil frost]

based on your browsing habbits

you must watch a lot of stuff associated with them

[dull granite]

I dont fuckin care "oh it's based on your searches and what u wat-" shut up i don't care, don't show me this everywhere

like image using your phone in public, like when you're out in public you probably don't want to see any of this shit, no matter your preferences

[fossil frost]

you clearly watch a lot of... adult content... based around that... 😄

[dull granite]

even if i did, it shouldn't just appear anywhere

[latent plank]

talk to google about it

[sharp parcel]

hey

[idle nymph]
