is a AOC GAMING CQ27G2U/BK 27" Quad HD 144Hz Curved VA monitor good

[neon mesa]

VA is meh

[full fossil]

its 260 euros

1440 p

[desert ivy]

Get the Sceptre Ultrawide 3440x1440 if you want something a bit better.

Although IDK about the price in Euros

[icy osprey]

Not sure about VA tbh, but that's just a me thing (since I'd go for an IPS one)
But from the specs alone it doesn't look bad

[desert ivy]

I've never had a VA one but I always thought I would prefer it since the contrast is a lot better.

[icy osprey]

Also fellas: Question time.

Xbox Elite Controller 2 for 76€
or
Xbox Starfield Edition for 75€

I love the design of the Starfield one alongside the transparent triggers, but.... I've found a kinda pretty nice deal on eBay for the Elite one (second hand tho)

[desert ivy]

If it's for PC I'd get the PS5 controller 🙂

In the games where it gets the full feature set, it's worth it.

[icy osprey]

Yeah it's for PC

I've tried the PS5 controller at a store and it is REALLY good.

But the joystick locations man... that's the only thing keeping me from buying one.

I'm part of the upper left joystick gang

The adaptive triggers are godly though

[desert ivy]

Everyone is the upper joystick gang until they get used to lower stick and viceversa. I'm positive that it wouldn't take long for you to change your preference.

When I tried an Xbox Controller recently it felt so weird.

[icy osprey]

Oh do you have one and use it with PC?

[desert ivy]

At least try one of those Hall Effect joysticks Controllers. The issue with the XBox controller is that it's too expensive for the lack of features it has.

[desert ivy]

Yeah, the PS5 features are Wired only though.

But it works wirelessly like an Xbox controller

Like the Xbox Controller costs the same, but it has no Gyro, No Touchpad, no Adaptive Triggers nor HD Rumble and it doesn't include rechargable batteries. Doesn't make sense

Haptic Feedback not HD Rumble

The Gulikit costs the same as the Xbox one/PS5 but at least it has Hall joysticks.

[icy osprey]

By Haptick Feedback you mean feeling specific rumbles on different parts of the controller?

[desert ivy]

Yeah, and being matched to the game. It also has a speaker on the controller. Although that's a feature that is rarely used

[wispy marsh]

Taptic feedback is amazing

[desert ivy]

I wouldn't buy an Xbox controller out of pure principle even though the Starfield edition is pretty.

[past egret]

i can totally see people using HOTAS to play SF

[wispy marsh]

Give me an xbox controller with hall effect sticks, mechanical buttons and a linear actuation motor and i'll worship it

[desert ivy]

It's amazing how they chose 0 innovation. Including Hall Effect joysticks would've been like a key differentiator from Play Station. But they went with 0 improvements this last gen on an already featureless controller

[full fossil]

[crystal mirage]

[icy osprey]

Thing is, are there any non-PlayStation Exclusive games that are playable on PC that use the Touchpad at all? What about the Haptic Feedback? And the Gyro? Is there a page where one can check this?

I have no idea to be honest, and if they'd even allow access to it, considering how Sony is, I'd imagine they would restrict it to only Playstation games installed from their specific store.

I decided to google it myself and found that there is DS4Windows in case it doesn't work out of the box, and also the Steam Controller support doing some heavy lifting for it.
I'll test it again on the store and see if I'm ready to make the jump for it haha.

Oh wait I completely forgot that it has a rechargeable battery and not a swappable battery pack like the Xbox one. That's pretty sad.

[dusty rune]

i like the old logitech controller that theyre using

[graceful mortar]

i beleve its in industry standard. far from the first one i have seen in industry

[graceful mortar]

just sonar blast. ya it will disturb teh animals. but youll find them. that dome is Ti and basically industructable.

[desert ivy]

It works seamlessly for me without any software outside of Steam. The wireless also works. Although I think for the PS5 features you have to disable it through the Steam interface. I haven't had any trouble with it. Although if you plan to get the PS5 Pro controller I'd double check as I think that needs a PS5 yo configure it's features and I had a friend who's controller did work with Diablo (mine did)

[desert ivy]

Worse case scenario you replace it yourself in a couple years. It's not that difficult.

Think they will remake Titanic? the movie? i love to soo a modern remake i was 6 when it released in 1997

Why is 6800xt and 6950xt only 100$ away but 6900xt is selling for way more

[full fossil]

Yes

[manic torrent]

Because 6900xt is no longer available and the price is stupidly jacked up.

Same for basically all **50 amd cards.

[full fossil]

Oh you think the perfomance difference between 6800xt and 6950xt is good enough for 100$ difference?

[manic torrent]

Maybe? I can't remember. My point is that the 6950 is just a rerelease / mid cycle update of the 6900, so it's functionally the same, but for some reason they put up the 6900 price because it's no longer available, and perhaps people pay that inflated price because they don't know better?

Radeon 6000 cards are in the stock clearing phase really. The prices will go up at some point when the stock runs out.

It's basic and it does what it needs to do

I don't use any file manager on android

[fierce moth]

Cause you use iPhone?

Or cause you dont need to manage files?

Guys is it real that your old Iphones become slower when new Iphones come out? Thats crazy

[tired glade]

Oh, even worse

[manic torrent]

And used parts that were not rated for the pressure they were repeatedly exposed to

[west sentinel]

I thought of the game controller being drifty causing a collision with the titanic structure

[manic torrent]

While it's hilarious, there's nothing inherently wrong with it

[cobalt helm]

Thats not true, if you have ever held the OG IPhone like me, then you would know that it could still compete with mid tier phones of 2015 or something...
And we need to thank IOS for that.... but the Iphones after the OG one were pretty much the same, boring , shitty operationg system, characterized by their camera and battery ans thats it

[manic torrent]

Of greater concern is the lack of reliable communications, the shitty procedures, the absolute corner cutting, and the complete disregard for safety.

[tired glade]

Wait,are for or against iPhone?

[cobalt helm]

Against it... for the most part

[tired glade]

It's not very clear in your wall of text

[cobalt helm]

Their phones are boring and IOS is as shitty as it gets if they change that then theres room to have real talk

[west sentinel]

If only iOS could be open source also

[cobalt helm]

No the ending of my wall of text clearly displayed my displeasure with Apple

[tired glade]

It doesn't matter what and it was,Ios change smartphone business

It wasn't crashing when you open text editor,that was big upgrade

[cobalt helm]

What is FTP?

[fierce moth]

File transfer protocol

[west sentinel]

that's why they can be open source to be more customizable

[fierce moth]

It's for transferring files over the internet

I bought 2 months and didn't watch one video in Floatplane. It's just not worth it for me. And 4k is free on YouTube.

[gilded forge]

on YT, if you're watching on a phone or a laptop with a sub-4K display, then 1080 premium looks a lot better

[desert ivy]

Just gotta hang out with like minded individuals

[desert ivy]

Can't you just select 4k on a 1080p display and get the enhanced bitrate.? I'm a home theater nerd I appreciate video quality but for LTT videos I don't see the benefit.

[cinder nacelle]

@fierce moth go listen to The Tornado by Owl City

Or some Yung Gravy

[gilded forge]

have you tried watching 4K on a 1080p screen?

[desert ivy]

Yes . That's how I watch all my videos

Well a 1440p screen

[fierce moth]

Within the first 10 seconds there's swearing

That's not what I enjoy in my music

It's just that I was 16 last time I saw someone surprised about someone not knowing an obscure band

[cinder nacelle]

Nah. Im gonna stay young forever. I still dab occasionally. Ironically of course

[fierce moth]

Locally storing music does come with its disadvantages

But then again, I store my music in lossless flacs

[desert ivy]

I use Spotify because I can't hear any difference with Flac. Even on expensive equipment.

[cinder nacelle]

Daft Punk good band. I hope they release a new album soon /s

[fierce moth]

You can only really hear it with certain genres imo

[mild elm]

Which

[fierce moth]

Classical mostly, especially piano

[cinder nacelle]

[desert ivy]

Nah, I've been around enough audiophile subreddits to know people are full of it.

[fierce moth]

You can hear the keys be pressed down if you hear close enough imo

[mild elm]

Not worth

(imo)

But then again I don’t listen much to classical

[desert ivy]

People doesn't pass ABX testing. And you certainly aren't going to hear the difference on cheap equipment. My stereo system is 1500usd and I don't hear shit. Neither on my HD600 with an amp.

[tired glade]

What abx?

[desert ivy]

Maybe people with superhuman ears or with better equipment. But I doubt it.

[fierce moth]

But this is based on one of the albums I have which is 48000hz/24bit

Anyway flacs are better adapted for higher volume iirc

As it doesnt distort as much as mp3

[desert ivy]

https://abx.digitalfeed.net/

[tired glade]

Oh, audio test

And people do 10 tests get 50% on all of them. Then get lucky with one result and post that one saying they can really hear the difference.

Honestly the people in that sub are long gone

I doubt we will even find the sub

[gilded forge]

I just thought of the smartest business move. what is sonic (the restaurant chain) put EV chargers so that you could top up while waiting

[full fossil]

"The day a billionaire died and a small sub company got investigated"

[gilded forge]

like I've said before: the iceberg didn't sink the ship, the monster that destroyed the sub did.

[full fossil]

died of rapid decompression

painless

[slim mirage]

hopefully someone had a go pro or a phone and recorded some stuff if the wreckage is ever found

[outer plinth]

Got a galaxy tab s8 today I'm hyped

My last tech purchase was literally a used iPhone 3 or something

[full fossil]

would it be possible to take the bluetooth chip out of a laptop and rig it to my pc

[slim mirage]

its usually a wifi and bluetooth module on an m.2 slot in your motherboard so probably

[polar fern]

Woo new pc case delivered!

[slim mirage]

wouldnt advise it though

[graceful mortar]

desktops dont usually have the slot keyed as needed.

[polar fern]

Out of a laptop & put in pc? Do you have the antennas?

[thin fjord]

some mobo's have threads you can attach after market ones

[polar fern]

Laptops have the antennas built into the screen typically

[rough birch]

Mine all pass the antenna through the hinge to the top of the screen by the camera?

[polar fern]

Yep

To get that height

[rough birch]

I have a dead wifi card though cause it came loose while it was running lol

[thin fjord]

is that what the holes at the top of my screen are for?

[polar fern]

Loose? What’d you do?!

[drifting vault]

can som1 pls check if this is a good build. I've just gotten into pc's and I would like constructive criticism
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FWV4rD

[rough birch]

Eh it's an old G4 I was looking at anyway I'm not gonna be running Fortnite on it anyway

[polar fern]

I mean the panel that holds the screen also holds the antennas

Ooo nice.

[rough birch]

Ethernet works still so I could just use it as a backup drive though if I can get the drive

Well now I just wanna put it in a cube

[polar fern]

On some apple portables there’s a known issue with cables pinching in the hinge after a while of regular use

Pre-intel

So that could be a thing.

In some cases (pun intended) the hinge can rotate with the antenna entrained & pull it out of the card socket

[graceful mortar]

dont mind me just Ryzen flexing decompression maxing on a 980 pro

[polar fern]

Ooo fancy

I’ve repaired a bunch of apple stuff where the hinge(s) were the issue.

Thankfully they seem to have learned their lesson

[ashen zodiac]

that's nothing compared to the 2016 to i believe 2020 models. the display cable actually goes around the bottom of the cover for the hinge, leading to an issue known as "flexgate" seen below, due to the cable breaking from opening/closing the laptop

i bought a 2015 MBP specifically to avoid this and the butterfly keyboard

[pliant karma]

ha same still have it also

[ashen zodiac]

a 2015 MBP? 15 or 13 inch?

[pliant karma]

Mid 2015 15in

the last one before they went butterfly

[ashen zodiac]

your macbook is better than mine

i have a 2015 13", the base model. 8gb ram, dualcore i5 and originally 128gb storage, but i've put a 500gb ssd in it

[pliant karma]

but I got the base model which well let's just say I sorta regretted lol still great for web browing and basic stuff but not good for what I do now

[ashen zodiac]

be happy @pliant karma the dual graphics models are known to run hotter than the sun

[pliant karma]

yea I found out later about that lol

only things I added were dbrand skin and 1tb nvme at a later point but other wise still good. I think I only have like 500 cycles on the battery atm

[ashen zodiac]

mine's close to 700, still fine though

i bought it used too, it was in mint condition, with like 300 cycles maybe

i've had it for 2 years now

on the used market sure. look around, maybe even thrift stores that have electronics

[tired thorn]

if the monitor is used is there a higher chance it is broken

[slim salmon]

on the subreddit they show that linus' earliest livestream still shows the crypto scam

[ashen zodiac]

bro... what?

i call it pre-tested

literally all my tech is used. basically all parts in my pc except storage, my laptop, my phone, my monitors, all used

[thin fjord]

real

[ashen zodiac]

tv, speakers, amp, cd player, all used

and all still working years after i bought them, some stuff more than 10 years

[thin fjord]

the only time i go new is if it's something you shouldn't skimp out on like a PSU or if i just got my tax returns

[ashen zodiac]

i've had my cd player since i was like 8 or 9, i'm 23 now. that cd player is from the 1980's

[ashen zodiac]

i basically only buy psu and storage new. that's it. cuz if either fail i can lose my data or in the psu's case my entire machine (i've had that happen), that's it.

that said i have bought used ssd's @thin fjord but use them for non-critical stuff. my old macbook pro 2012 that i keep updates just in case my main laptop dies and i need a quick replacement for example, i also put a used ssd in my PS3 cuz if it fails i lose like, a few saves?

[neon mesa]

the missing submarine thing is scary

[slim mirage]

its gone they found parts of it

[neon mesa]

though an implosion would be the second best option after actually going back to the surface

such implosion would be as powerful as half ton TNT explosion they won't feel it

[slim mirage]

wonder if a micro sd card is implosion proof

[neon mesa]

the implosion is estimated to be at 3km down which has 300atm of pressure
that's 300kg/cm2

it would not have a good time

[slim mirage]

how much is that in elephants?

[neon mesa]

i don't measure in freedom units

[polar fern]

👀

It a beautiful arctic white

Was surprised - delivered next day

[eager notch]

Everyone is shitting on the fact that that submarine was controlled by a game controller.

Let's be honest, it's probably the most sensible thing they could have used, you can't use a steering wheel to move in 3 dimensions

[crude jasper]

you know joysticks aren't specific to a game controller yes ?

or enough buttons for multidirectional

[eager notch]

Okay?

[crude jasper]

using shitty game controller is not as good as a more reliable device that uses the same control system

i would not trust a logitek to keep me safe at 12,500 feet deep

[eager notch]

Developing intuitive control systems is expensive as hell, Microsoft spent 100 million dollars on development of the Xbox one controller

[crude jasper]

oceangate doesn't need to develop their own ?

buttons however they could ~ simple and reliable system

[low rain]

theres a county fair and the robotics team im in has a booth there and im debating wether i should go or not cause its an hour away

[eager notch]

Also a lot of really expensive robots used for industrial work like building cars are programmed using an actual Xbox controller

[crude jasper]

is a robot that can cause minor damage the same as a submarine with the capability to harm its handler

[eager notch]

I'm just saying development of good control systems is expensive, not that they shouldn't develop their own,

Just that the fact that they used something that is intuitive to it's user isn't as stupid as people are making it out to be

Everyone knows how to use an Xbox/playstation controller.

[crude jasper]

everyone knows how to press buttons that have arrow diagrams

[amber cairn]

The issue is someone who's getting trained as being a glorified uber driver for a mini-sub is probably not qualified enough to be able to determine when you should abort mission.

Also when the owner of the company fired an engineer for stating that the design was flawed you know you're not looking at someone hiring top people.

[eager notch]

Madcatz would like a word

[amber cairn]

i mean there must be a reason why we don't have xbox controllers in cars or airplanes...

[sweet jetty]

Wussup lttcord

[jaunty tartan]

Hey!

[fierce moth]

Man I feel like shit

[eager notch]

Because cars only have 2 degrees of movement and planes have 3?

A submarine has like 6

[graceful gorge]

i just noticed that W11 file explorer has tabs

like google chrome or microsoft edge

[fierce moth]

If only they could backport it to win10

But Ms wants me to buy a new computer just to upgrade

[graceful gorge]

they should keep supporting it for atleast 3-5 more years in my opinion

[ashen zodiac]

Windows 11 is windows 10. they could easily backport it. don't believe me? open up cmd on 11. it'll identify as NT 10

[fierce moth]

2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop

[ashen zodiac]

20redacted is the year of the linux desktop

[whole swallow]

I'm a marine engineer and it's not the construction or design of stuff that's expensive. It's the certification. You can open up a Hose McCann dial telephone and see it's the same sorta Toshiba shit you could get at the store. The difference is that the one with the Hose McCann sticker has gone through the requisite certification process to ensure safety and functionality.

So a Logitech pad being used to control a thing isn't that off the wall. The Navy literally got 360 pads to control some stuff on their subs. But no way did that CEO do anything to certify safety or functionality considering he thinks doing that is "holding back innovation" (which is a lie)

[tender geyser]

when dooes the framework 16 go on pre order

[fossil frost]

was gonna say, US Navy subs use xbox 360 pads that cost £30 each, and MS keep the production of them up especially for the navy

[noble estuary]

20XX is the year of the linux desktop

[rough birch]

I feel like people just expect "specialized" custom equipment for every new thing, while it would be fun to reinvent the wheel 100 different ways, if it works it works. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌

I also wouldn't expect a hamster to be driving a submarine either that just seems ridiculous.

[neon mesa]

i got my PC in 2018
i have upgraded a lot since then
now the processor is the last one
if i change it, is it really the same PC, is it now entirely new

it's quite interesting to think about

[fossil frost]

triggers pc

[tender geyser]

what is discord doing man

[whole swallow]

It really does just come down to that POS sub almost definitely not having backups, safety systems, etc. all because the CEO thought he knew better than an entire set of regulations that were largely written in blood. I keep hearing in my head Michael Douglas saying "and now you're gonna die wearing that stupid little hat"

[noble estuary]

the only guy who i dont feel bad for is the CEO of oceangate. Literally his words coming back to bite him in the ass.

He ignored every warning sign and caution that he could and he paid the ultimate price

in the name of innovation

And 4 other innocent people are dead because of him

[rough birch]

Oh is it doing that thing where the prompt box is just the width of half a pencil?

[ashen zodiac]

my issue is also the entire concept. why would you want to see the Titanic wreck except if you're a scientist/researcher?

who thinks "yes a shipwreck, the grave of thousands of people.... that needs tourism" seriously?

[fossil frost]

the only positive thing to take from what happened, is that they would all have been dead before they even heard the failure start, and nobody had to endure the suffering of a prolonged death

[neon mesa]

tbh
those 4 people really think it's a good idea to spend 250k to get on a sketchy looking sub
i'm already paranoid on a proper ship lmao

[tender geyser]

it randomly makes usernames appear as the first letter, then ...

[noble estuary]

the tourism of the titanic is a ethical gray area anyway

[rough birch]

Yeah people are comparing it to that game where they are sending convicts to die. This is just the sentence, "If I die I'm dragging you with me!"

[ashen zodiac]

yeah. i have seen footage of the wreckage out of curiosity, but again that's fine. if it's for science/documenting history i'm ok with it.

but like, tourism? really?

[noble estuary]

sure, they legally acknowledged the fact that they may perish, but this entire thing was very preventable had the company been patient with the design and construction and verification.

[whole swallow]

I mean, tourism to Chernobyl increased a bunch after the show premiered

[neon mesa]

eh there are many other "grave site" that becomes tourist attraction

[whole swallow]

people are icky

[neon mesa]

like the pyramid is technically one is it

[fossil frost]

so, if the company wasnt a massive cash grab on billionaires and "adventurers", and was an actual real company?

[noble estuary]

One could say that it is just natural selection, but it would be in poor taste for me to say that

[noble estuary]

yes

[rough birch]

To me, this just feels like mocking people at an actual gravesite,

[whole swallow]

it was already open to tourism. It's just that prior to the show it was mostly just STALKER fans being weird

[noble estuary]

i agree

[ashen zodiac]

it is and i'm against that too. a team of scientists/historians going in and documenting it sure. but don't open it to tourism... if people wanna see it they can go look at what the scientists/historians publish...

[fossil frost]

people visit actual grave yards dont they? people talk walks through grave yards. just because the graveyard is 3 miles under water, doesnt make it any more or less acceptable than walking through a church grave yard

[neon mesa]

as long as people are respectful it's perfectly fine

people wanna see things with their own eyes

only allowing scientists seeing it will go in a slippery slope where they get accused of elitism and gatekeeping

[ashen zodiac]

i don't know anyone who compares walking through graveyards to visiting the pyramids.

[noble estuary]

I feel it is unessecary though. The only thing that will differ is that it will decay more over time. We already have documentation?

[fossil frost]

and "scientist" isnt a defined or protected term, anybody could declare themselves a scientist and go visit

[neon mesa]

documentations will be less and less believable in the future

[gleaming dome]

Any recommendations for gaming laptops which have great battery life and alright performance?
The budget’s $1000-$1200

[noble estuary]

got you

[neon mesa]

people already believe moon landing is fake
soon they will call titanic ai generated

[fossil frost]

people in here literally just said its "icky" to go to a mass grave site... yet... a church grave yard is just that

[ashen zodiac]

correct. still, sending tourists possibly disturbing the wreckage more seems stupid to me

[rough birch]

Yeah but you wouldn't go through one because it's "cool to see", would you? I'd walk through to just respect and honor the dead...

[whole swallow]

context is important

[noble estuary]

its not as dangerous

[neon mesa]

the topic is moral dilemma not the danger

[fossil frost]

yes, i go to the grave yard near me because it has horse chestnut trees, and because the kids like going there to pick conkers...

[neon mesa]

and this sub implosion is more on the POS CEO lack of common sense than anything else

[ashen zodiac]

the people in that sub didn't go in it to visit Titanic and honour the dead who perished there. they went to see it as a tourist attraction and that's wrong. seeing the wreckage is supposed to give you chills not make you say "oh cool"

[fossil frost]

ive also visited chruch grave yards because the church, in the yards... looks cool

[neon mesa]

i mean anyone who see it in person will get chills

not out of respect, but that shit looks scary as fuck

[noble estuary]

idk about the battery life, but this looks good (as long as you're not put off by the ASUS fiasco)

[fossil frost]

people, in general, can do what they want with their own life and their own money, as long as they dont do it at the expense of others lives/safety... so... if these adventurers and billionaires want to go down and see the ocean floor where some boat happens to be... fair play to them... the thing that is wrong here, is that they decided to go with some company where the CEO is completely inept (and probably will be found posthumously criminally inept shortly), and they died because of his shortcuts

another good option

[neon mesa]

well now the CEO is blown into a million pieces by an implosion as powerful as a 737 hitting a brick wall at 600km/h

[fossil frost]

anybody can visit anywhere they want, as long as they dont ruin it by being there

[ashen zodiac]

of course it does. it's haunting. absolutely haunting.

[rough birch]

Idk what conkers are but that is also a valid reason. Idk I don't really know of any grave yeard near me

[fossil frost]

i would say "cool as fuck" rather than "haunting"

2 reasons i wouldnt go down there personally... 1. claustraphobia. 2. not a billionaire

[gleaming dome]

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll look further into it

[noble estuary]

true

[fossil frost]

lack of common sense, or just plain greedy

[neon mesa]

at the depth they're in the pressure is 300 whole kilograms per cm2
that's like 5 person weight in the area of a micro sd card

[noble estuary]

you want at least an rtx 3060 and 16gb of ram. Have that and you're good on specs.

[whole swallow]

I'd replace or with and

[fossil frost]

accurate

[neon mesa]

if the ceo is greedy he won't get in his own sub

it's more on his ego than greediness

[fossil frost]

and would probably have imploded fast enough to where they would never have even heard it before they were already dead

[neon mesa]

the implosion is like a boeing 737 hitting a wall at 600km/h

half a ton of TNT of energy

[rough birch]

Oh wait I thought it was Wednesday. Forgot to note that I actually slept last njght

[neon mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xM6zdim0yk4

yeah that happens to them, but a bigger scale

all that in 5ms

[noble estuary]

👆

[fossil frost]

"the bodies may never be recovered"... yep... because (not to sound disrespectful, just being frank about it) there are no "bodies" to find just a pool of mushy shark chum

[neon mesa]

i mean at half a ton of TNT energy
i think mush is understating it

[sharp talon]

What, is it confirmed the sub imploded?

[neon mesa]

they're atomized

[rough birch]

Humans are land dwellers. They ain't made to be down in them depths

[fossil frost]

yeah, they found critical parts of it as a debris field

[noble estuary]

like what

[neon mesa]

this video aged like milk lol

[noble estuary]

💀 💀 💀

[rough birch]

Honestly I wasn't aware they got lost on SUNDAY until I read about it in a Tumblr comment, cause I didn't hear about it until yesterday after like, 5 or somethin. I thought they got lost then, given that it's Thursday lmao yeah I wouldn't expect them to survive that long without running equip.

[noble estuary]

i heard about it on monday

[fossil frost]

the "landing gear", parts of the hull its self

[sharp talon]

Really sucks. Really on Ocean Gate for not following regulations. Because clearly you can be innovative while following safety guidelines

[fossil frost]

i can see oceangate not being a company at all in a few days time

[sharp talon]

Are they publicly traded?

[neon mesa]

lmao

[fossil frost]

private, but, lawsuits are expensive, criminal charges against the company are made against active directors... so, no company, no expense and no charges

[noble estuary]

i dont think so

[neon mesa]

i mean who are they gonna sue

without their CEO company about to implode like their sub

[fossil frost]

the company its self, companies are treated as an individual person, and the CEO isnt "the company" hes just 1 person

[sharp talon]

Board of directors

I think it’s safest to file for bankruptcy

[noble estuary]

or to just straight up dissolve ASAP

[fossil frost]

bankruptsy protection doesnt stop new lawsuits, and doesnt stop criminal charges, just dissolving completely is the only way to avoid that

[sharp talon]

This is kinda like FTX, but life threatening. Don’t follow regulations? Then you’re gone

[rough birch]

Tbh was hoping for a line of Succession. CEO somehow mysteriously disappears? Boom their secretary is now CEO

[fossil frost]

FTX was killed because they scammed rich people... if it was just poor people, they would have been ok

[noble estuary]

I predict a dissolution within 3 days, or mass resignation causing a corporate collapse.

[rough birch]

This is how I thought it worked when I was younger. I was wrong on way too many things.

[fossil frost]

people who are rich enough and powerful enough to afford to be able to complain, complained about FTX

[sharp talon]

This time it’s also with rich people. 1 ticket is 250 grand

I doubt any normal person would buy such a ticket

[fossil frost]

yep, and those rich peoples families and the companies they owned, are gonna go right after oceangate, which means oceangate needs to not be a thing, very quickly

[rough birch]

Also idk if this goes in #off-topic but have any of y'all used the Apache web server before? It came installed on a lot of my Macs and I never really sued it.

[noble estuary]

no

[sharp talon]

This might actually be worse since it’s a international issue. There are Pakistani citizens, so they’ll probably file in federal court

[noble estuary]

dont forget about that french guy too

[fossil frost]

yep, everyone who learns PHP uses apache (or did do), its a very very very common web server software

[sharp talon]

Right

[noble estuary]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Titan_submersible_incident
confirmed implosion

[noble estuary]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul-Henri_Nargeolet
this is the guy

[fossil frost]

confirmed implosion on an actual news source https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-us-canada-65967464

[sharp talon]

But even now I’m so confused. So Ocean Gate is Canadian based, the ship which launched it is American. There are Pakistani and French citizens. US and Canadian coast guards did the search and the French sent a probe to try and find it

[fossil frost]

oceangate is american

[sharp talon]

A lot of international stuff going on here

[sharp talon]

Did they launch in Canada is avoid regulators ?

[fossil frost]

could be 1 of the possibilities, could also be that newfoundland is the closest place to the titanic they could pay to launch from

[noble estuary]

this is correct

[sharp talon]

I mean 2 birds with one stone right

[noble estuary]

There were 2 Pakistani citizens, 1 British citizen, 1 American citizen, and 1 French citizen.

[fossil frost]

"Five major pieces were discovered amid the debris around the Titanic site. Among them, a nose cone, outside the pressure hull, and a larger debris field"

[sharp talon]

I think the developers of the titan are kind of dumb. Carbon composites are frequently found in planes and rockets. But from what I know, atmospheric pressure and oceanic pressure are worlds apart

[fossil frost]

carbon composites can survive anything from negative pressure to highly positive pressure, the material it was made from isnt the problem.. its how it was made that is the problem

[noble estuary]

You know what? I think that the window might have did them in, as it was discovered it was only rated for 4000ft.

[fossil frost]

it was the bare minimum they needed to go near the titanic, 0% safety margin

[sharp talon]

No, the thing is that carbon composites are strong when guided with structure. But they break immediately the structure is compromised. So the sub had several structural weak points instead of spreading structure integrity throughout the entirety of the ship

[tulip wraith]

what is ftx?

[fossil frost]

again, the carbon composite its self, would be fine, but, the substructure under it, didnt support it correctly.. if it was built properly, you could make it out of paper... but it wasnt built properly... you can build it badly from the toughest of steel, and it will still implode because it was built incorrectly

[fossil frost]

crypto bro exchange that scammed a bunch of people

[polar fern]

Rich person toy breaks. Oh well.

[sharp talon]

Looks like you have the web on standby at all times

[sharp talon]

You make a good point

[noble estuary]

lol

[fossil frost]

ill translate that for you.... "5 people died because of the incompetence and greed and general stupidity of 1 of those 5, oh well"

[whole swallow]

I mostly just hit things on boats with wrenches and am not a maritime law specialist but my general industry understanding is the first question is what country's flag is the sub itself operating under which will determine effectively "what country it happened in" and from there the each citizen's home nation will have its own special maritime jurisdiction laws that will help guide how legal proceedings carry forward

[noble estuary]

probably either canada or usa

[fossil frost]

generally yes, its the flag that the vehicles flag is under... but... if it doesnt "fly a flag" its where the vehicle is registered, if the vehicle isnt registered, its where the owner is officially registered

[sharp talon]

Right, the thing is that there’s no federal regulator in this case and they didn’t partner with any general regulating companies. So what kind of charges could be pressed if they never agreed to comply with those rules

[neon mesa]

Okay the people are literally atomized
The implosion focus all that mass into a tiny area hotter than the surface of the sun

That's gruesome, at least fast

[fossil frost]

criminal negligence, operating a vehicle without a licence leading to the death of X (5 counts), failure to comply with any number of legal requirements

[tulip wraith]

guys its my first time getting an AIO, do i need to replace the liquid after some time? do air bubbles affect performance & how to avoid them?

[fossil frost]

my best guess would be 4 or 5 counts of criminal negligence leading to homicide

[sharp talon]

#tech-chat-1 (?)

[noble estuary]

they'll probably pull some other laws to tack on as well

[noble estuary]

its difficult to replace it. depends on the model

[fossil frost]

they will do what they always do in the USA and over charge, hoping the current company owner/directors, plead down to the lesser charges

[tulip wraith]

but is it necessary?

or can you use the aio for years without replacing it

[sharp talon]

At most it’s a large fine or sum to pay the families of the victims

Since a company can’t be jailed

[noble estuary]

you can, it's just that the performance will get worse over time @tulip wraith

[fossil frost]

some of them are completely sealed, and you cant replace the water at all, others, have a fill port that is sealed, and you have to break the seal, others, have a fill port you can use

[neon mesa]

Second degree manslaughter

[tulip wraith]

what about the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360?

[fossil frost]

companies cant, but the directors have a legal responsibility with the company, and are ultimately liable for it, and CAN go to jail

[polar fern]

Meanwhile, hundreds of refugees die in a fishing boat that sank, and here we are talking about some billionaire’s toy breaking

[fossil frost]

no idea, ask google, or ask arctic

try youtube or reddit for people who've had it

[polar fern]

Remind me very much of the people who ride musk

[fossil frost]

that is true, but hundreds of refugees die every day, so the world is desensitised to it, and this is large news because its a billionaire

[tulip wraith]

i cant ask on reddit im perma banned on every account i make for no reason

[sharp talon]

Water coolers are great and they have good performance. If you’re looking to upgrade your computer every few years an aio would be great. But if you’re in it for the long run, I would suggest a better air cooler since basic dusting will allow it to maintain good performance

[neon mesa]

This is not the time for whataboutism.
You sound completely disrespectful
Both are bad
Remember that 4 innocent people are dead along side the POS CEO
Couldn't careless if it is just that guy

[fossil frost]

i used the same AIO for about 6 years with my last one, and only replaced it because i just wanted a new one, old one was still working fine

[tulip wraith]

also how can i clean my pc without damaging the components? is it okay if i use a vacuum cleaner

[sharp talon]

The rich have priority as always

[noble estuary]

yeah, reddit is fucked anyway. has been for the past 4 years

[noble estuary]

air compressor is best, and a nonstatic bristle brush of some sort

[fossil frost]

you are trying to reason with somebody who cannot be reasoned with, they have made up their own mind, and are so incredibly closed minded, they wont accept any other viewpoint, at all, on any subject

[sharp talon]

No, so go to your local department store and buy a can of pressurized air and use it to get rid of the dust. If your using a vacuum make sure it has soft bristles

[molten drift]

Walmart also sells canned air.

[rough birch]

G+ and a lot of other useful Google services are actually dead, while Tumblr is in thought dead

[neon mesa]

Those canned air can be super helpful though
They're just not for regular healthy people

[fossil frost]

you can also buy a mini compressor for about £40/$40 from amazon designed for blowing dust out of vents and radiators and keyboards

or use a hair dryer on its cold setting

[neon mesa]

Not worth getting those compressor if you clean once a year

[noble estuary]

@tulip wraith you need this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Industrial-Air-120-Gal-Stationary-Electric-Air-Compressor-IH9919910/203623841
(YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DONT GET IT)

[fossil frost]

i use my fiances hair dryer, set it to cold, and put the thin nozzle on it, blows dust right out 😄

[sharp talon]

Actually smart

[neon mesa]

Not powerful enough, would need some nozzle
My hair dryer can't do shit

[rough birch]

( ~°o°) ~

[fossil frost]

i have 230v electricity, hair dryers in the uk go brrrrrrr

[whole swallow]

Personally I'm a DataVac evangelist. I've had the same one for like a decade.

[sharp talon]

I’ve got one of those high tech force of the hurricane Dyson hair dryers. They’ll blow anything

[neon mesa]

I also have 240v

[fossil frost]

ah ok, then your hair dryer is shit 😄

[neon mesa]

It's fine, a 600w one
But don't got much bells and whistles

[fossil frost]

ah... my fiances is a 2000w one 😄

[neon mesa]

Does what it is intended to do, dry my hair

[sharp talon]

Buy one of those handheld wind up fans 💀😭

[rough birch]

What kind of shit is powering your houses for that high of wattage??

[sharp talon]

Solar

[fossil frost]

i had a hair cut yesterday, i can dry my hair by thinking about it hard enough 😄

[fossil frost]

UK has 220-240v at the wall... all sockets are rated at 13 amps

[noble estuary]

@tulip wraith something like this though
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sun-Joe-24-Volt-iON-Plus-High-Volume-Inflator-with-Inflation-Adapters-Tool-Only-24V-AJV-CT/314599667

[molten drift]

I miss having hair long enough to need a hair dryer.

[rough birch]

Well yeah I'm American I'm told all the time about that

[fossil frost]

even at the lowest voltage available, 220, 13 amps is 2860 watts... from a single socket.. or 3120 at the full voltage (depends on the breaker box)

[neon mesa]

My whole home can only do 2.5kW lel
Which is enough. Only high power appliance here is the microwave

[wide seal]

Lol wut

[fossil frost]

my mains supply is 240v 100amp, so 24kw ?

[neon mesa]

It can physically do more.
But it's paywalled so yea

[rough birch]

I used to de shell My USB drives for some reason. Idk but I think I liked looking at its internals

[fossil frost]

i can literally swap the main breaker out for a 140amp one, and have the supply be 140 amps, but thats the limit of the physical cable going to my house

[wide seal]

So wait just waking in there you get a free 128 gig usb?

[sharp talon]

I live in the us so everything is mostly 120v, but go to home depot and do a modification with the breaker and outlets and I’m set

[neon mesa]

Only in the US where you ALREADY have 240v but fucking split it to 120v to be different

[rough birch]

Bypass the breaker and run straight from power lines. Only way to get the true maximum watts

[wide seal]

Guess I'm going to micro center for a free flash drive I needed one

[sharp talon]

I had to have most of my houses outlets be upgraded because the behemoth that is the Dyson ball vacuum was over cutting the limit on my breaker

[sharp talon]

Don’t forget imperial measurements

Pulled up to the dealership in a car with the odometer set to KM

[fossil frost]

ohh, i forgot... if i wanted to buy an EV, my electricity supplier will come out and install 3 phase 415v at 220amps, and split off 2 phases into the main breaker, so i will still get to be able to use the full 220 within the house at 240v, but not at 415v, but i could also get 415v@220amps on any 3 phase outlet i install

[sharp talon]

and the sales were bmaboolzed#

[fossil frost]

also, playing around with 415v at 220amps... thats how you die 😄

[sharp talon]

Just put on a few extra of those electrical grounding bracelets on your arms and you’ll be good 😂😂

[dire oasis]

I heard that the wireless ones are the best

[solar stratus]

Just hook the braclet to your pants like linus

[rough birch]

I honestly respect electricians for fucking around with power like they do, cause given any moment they are at risk of death. Ik a lot of other professions do too, but electricians are different to me for some reason.

[fossil frost]

my brother is a boiler tech, works with gas and elec. he was telling me that he managed to wire up a psu in a boiler the wrong way a few months ago... accidentally hooked the 240v input side to the internals of the boiler, and the 48v output side, to the 240v external power... flipped the breaker, and... black smoke

[sharp talon]

They’re a “power house” if I must say so myself

[molten drift]

Microcenter gives free stuff when you come by. You didn't know that?

[rough birch]

Neither did I.

[molten drift]

I got their credit card and get em anytime I go in.

[rough birch]

The closest Microcenter to me is also apparently in Georgia and I'd probably rather not drive 7 hours just for 1 free thing?

so the £25 ebay NUC that "cannot boot to an OS" has arrived, confirmed can boot to linux live usb, but, does not detect SATA. taken it apart, paste is drier than the Sahara, so repasted it, and just cobbled together a dodgy power cable to power an SATA SSD, while connecting directly to the nuc main board instead of using the daughter board, lets see if it detects this now 😄

[full fossil]

i kind of rubbed it hard with a s fot sponge

[fossil frost]

if not, i have to wait for a shorter NVME to arrive tomorrow to see if its the sata controller that has died, or, if the whole nuc has lost something critical

[broken folio]

You'd probably get errors from the linux live usb if there was something other than the sata controller broken I expect

Any mods in chat rn?

someone is dming me

[long briar]

block them

[steep girder]

The best mod is never in chat until exact moment time to ban somebody. Then after ban they go off

Yeah tbh no mod is responsible for your dms.

[long briar]

You've gotta be really stupid to get banned here

[misty scarab]

most servers have a ban on dm harassment/ads

more than more almost like all with like the exception of 2 or 3

[long briar]

this one doesn't.

[steep girder]

If you dont want them to message you, block them. If they send friend request, accept or deny it. You can delete them too

[misty scarab]

lol he deleted the messages

[long briar]

Why would a mod of a public server care about what goes on in your DMs

[misty scarab]

still have it screenshotted tho ;3

[plain aurora]

Exactly

[steep girder]

Also in your disc settings theres a place somewhere to specify who can dm you

[misty scarab]

most do have you not been in any server?

[long briar]

you have every right to block and report them, or ignore them

[misty scarab]

guess ill just wait for trust and saftey to review it

[long briar]

none of the servers I'm in gives a shit about what goes on OUTSIDE of the server

[plain aurora]

Private DMs have nothing to do with anyones status in a public server

[plain aurora]

Wdym "trust and saftey"

[steep girder]

Pretty sure you can set to friends only but default is DMs accepted from people who at least share one mutual server w you

[misty scarab]

almost every single one of mine has it

[long briar]

it's a setting, that's why DM request is a thing

[steep girder]

Either leave all mutual servers you have in common w them or turn that off

[plain aurora]

Probably cuz your in woke ass servers

[fossil frost]

"woke" isnt an insult, and not wanting to be harrassed isnt "woke"

[misty scarab]

i cant just turn them off entirely

[long briar]

I don't respond cause, why would I

[steep girder]

Nobody in your server should be able to dm you anything or even see most info about you. Even if theyre in common servers with you. It's your own settings that are setup poorly.

[long briar]

with digital platforms, not being harassed over text is as simple as

[full fossil]

Hey guys. Bought a new motherboard and thermal paste

I got that anti static band as well. Any other recommendations how to prepare?

[fossil frost]

well aware of it, im responding to the person who was using not wanting to be harrassed as "woke"

[long briar]

he called the servers woke no?

[plain aurora]

It's a private DM outside of the server, why the fck would it affect a person in the server?

[fossil frost]

i couldnt give any less of a shit how servers run themselves... the problem i have, is that you used "woke" as an insult, like, not being an arsehole is a bad thing

[plain aurora]

Woke is an insult

[long briar]

but he said "you're in woke ass servers" implying the communities is woke, not him?

[plain aurora]

I don't know where you are from but where I am it's an insult

[steep girder]

You yourself must have revealed some opinion to whomever is making fun of it or harassing you for expressing it.

[plain aurora]

Ty for actually having a brain unlike, @fossil frost

[fossil frost]

its only an insult when used by ultra right wing nationalists/racists/old people who dont want anything to ever change, and want things to stay as they are, forever

"woke" literally means, being nice to people and not being an arsehole... yet you are using it as an insult..

[long briar]

well there are things that shouldn't change. Unlike ultra left wing "progressives" that want everything to change regardless for the better or for the worse

[steep girder]

If you don't like woke people soliciting you with their woke..i..ness somehow, don't join woke server and then tell them your viewpoints are exactly opposite

[plain aurora]

Mods this kid is getting political, I suggest a timeout or a ban

[fossil frost]

and this guy is straight up insulting people for not wanting to be harrassed

[long briar]

but lets not bring politics in, nor do I support either one of you arguing over a single stupid word that's never been used outside of pop culture

[plain aurora]

Proof?

Exactly, silent.

[torn bone]

Not many ppl know this but eating is actually optional and this well hidden secret is super slimming

[long briar]

You could've just as easily said, like me, "just block em"

[steep girder]

I am of the opinion that the virtual majority cases where 'woke' person and a 'non-woke' person are arguing (often times shouting or protesting with fists nowadays) accomplishes nothing. It's a pointless exercise and 100% waste of time

[long briar]

instead of saying that "because you're in woke ass servers" implying it's the victim's fault

it's not his fault for others trying to DM him, but it IS for being ignorant to the block button

[worldly raft]

hi guys, i want CADfile of msi mpg b550 gaming plus motherboard atx does anyone know where can i get it from?

and it's dumbfounding how someone wants the mods of a server to handle what is inherently personal matters

[plain aurora]

You literally have In your about me "angry man"

[long briar]

You're also not one to suggest anything. The mods are watching, they decide what's best and do not need a random user's feedback

[plain aurora]

Crazy how he hasn't said anything for the past 10 messages sent in the chat

i mean what plot hole, which implies theres a lot of them

[dull granite]

it's not a plot hole

If they could ride them away from Mordor they could ride them to Mordor .

[karmic flame]

thats ban worthy

the eagles wasnt a plothole

It was literally the proper reaction to the context

[vapid smelt]

thankfully ive never done anything ban worthy

why the eagles didn't take the ring to mordor? because they didn't. thats all to it, it's not JK Rowling levels of plothole flex tape yoga

the eagles, that could have just flown them to mordor all along, but didnt bother, but did save them a few times on the way and pluck them out of danger... i would say yes, the eagles were involved the whole way, and could have just been involved from day 1 and saved a bunch of people from being killed, and a bunch of ptsd for people too
