Dear Diary (7:34PM) - “Chat is dead”

[terse lintel]

this is such a gravedig of an old conversation (found through discord search if youre curious) but i wanted to reach out and ask if you'd be willing to share some of your experiences/things you learned working with American Standard equipment.

i have a similar model of thermostat/heat pump system to Linus and am interested in making a homeassistant integration but have had very little luck finding a way to communicate locally with the thermostat - i know its a bit of a shot in the dark, but i figured id reach out anyways

[sly cedar]

hello, new here, glad to be here

also new to basically everything pc related

am here basically to get much needed help lol

[sly cedar]

man im getting depressed bout my build so i gotta ask you all gigachads to help me out here

[fossil dirge]

I love Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse

I saw it twice

I saw it in Dolby Cinema at AMC and 4DX at Regal

4DX was an amazing experience

That seats move and they're was splash of water during the movie

But I really love Dolby Cinema

Since it has Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision

Anyways

I'm hoping they open a Cinemark here in Miami so that way I can see movies in Cinemark XD

I love Cinemark XD since it's THX Certified

[gilded quest]

still not worth going to AMC for

I've never been to an AMC that was clean

[hollow knot]

Ive seen it 8 times not even joking

i have started to quote the movie in everyday activity

Im going insane. I literally know the entire script

[fossil dirge]

I agree

AMC sometimes isn't that great

[hollow knot]

give me a timestamp from the movie and I can explain what happens around that time ~5 min

[fossil dirge]

I think Cinemark as well as CMX and Landmark are better theaters

Regal is also good too

[gilded quest]

seats are always greasy, the floor is covered in litter, and the bathrooms have tp strewn everywhere (AMC)
its like they have no employees

[hollow knot]

Imax

[fossil dirge]

I love IMAX

[gilded quest]

I've been rather happy with Cinemark since i've moved

but my local chain back home is still my favorite

[fossil dirge]

Cinemark is a great theater

[sly cedar]

phew that was a long post in the pc tab

[fossil dirge]

Obviously it's better than AMC

[sly cedar]

writing is hard

[gilded quest]

Cinemark can be cheap af sometimes too

[fossil dirge]

But I hope that Cinemark opens a movie theater here in Miami

Because the only Cinemark in South Florida are Broward and Boca Raton

But I hope they open it in Miami

[gilded quest]

im debating if i should sign up for cinemark rewards

[polar fern]

Opening a new huge multiplex with Covid math makes no sense.

[sly cedar]

you guys debating spiderverse?

[gilded quest]

no
theatre chains

[polar fern]

All about outdoor screens

My favourite movie theatre is the AMC Empire 25 in midtown

The entire lobby, in part of the atrium of the lobby is comprised of an actual 19teen’s stage theatre shell that they moved down the block & preserved.

https://untappedcities.com/2014/09/23/historical-remnants-inside-the-amc-empire-25-theater-in-times-square/

The original balconies from the old theatre are actually still there

[fossil dirge]

You should it’s great

I have the Cinemark Movie Rewards

I don’t use it that much because the Cinemark I go to is in Broward which is far

But I’m just hoping that Cinemark opens a movie theater here in Miami

[gilded quest]

orrr
move out of florida

[fossil dirge]

The mall I go to has the abandoned Nordstrom I feel like Cinemark can buy that space to build a movie theater

[tepid jasper]

god those escalators look attrocious

[fossil dirge]

I would like to move out of Florida for political reasons

[tepid jasper]

but it's better than just demolishing everything and rebuilding it i guess

[polar fern]

It is unlikely that I will return to seeing movies on a regular basis in a physical theatre. I used to love going to see shows opening week or whenever. Re-releases and all of that stuff, but it’s become too expensive and I like being healthy.

Yeah, the escalators couldn’t really go anywhere else unfortunately

[tepid jasper]

i mean hey at least they didn't buldoze the place

[polar fern]

What I really like about the 25 specifically is that they have screening rooms of varying sizes, so they can have rereleases and budget films as well as the blockbusters

They also had two outdoor patio areas, but I’m not sure if they reopened those

The outdoor patios were around 7 and 10 floors up, respectively

[terse lintel]

what are you looking at? i think there are few, but yubico is the most widely known. p sure google has their own

[polar fern]

okay, I need to do stuff with the dishes now

[strange elk]

I just only hear about Yubico

i dont Really Like Office Chairs theyre tacky and a bit uncomfortable to me

i like my current chair it’s nice but worn out

[timid meadow]

Whats tacky about comfort and proper support?

[rigid tide]

i am extremely picky about things and my body starts dhejfksnfbsjgoinginsane when im Even mildly uncomfortable

like hands will start flapping legs will kick and it varies! it’s usually involuntary too

that old ikea chair i had proved that im Not An Office Chair person

[vapid smelt]

just get a high end office chair

[gilded quest]

yeah ikea chairs aren't great

i'd take whatever $100 mesh office chair costco has over any ikea chair

it’s not just ikea chairs it’s ALL of the office chairs iHATE THE LEATHER

the seat is leather and it makes me@wanmaCRY i hate it

but the titan is also leather sooooo

[rigid tide]

I was gonna get the fabric version

[wind pulsar]

IKEA MARKUS.

[vapid smelt]

get a fabric or mesh office chair

[rigid tide]

but then again if i go secretlab i probably can’t get my pookie nzxt kraken z73

[gilded quest]

are you just trolling

[wind pulsar]

Just get an Ikea Markus

Those gaming chairs, including secretlabs, are terrible for your posture anyway

[gilded quest]

i don't think the markus is very good, but its one of ikeas better chairs for sure

[rigid tide]

????what

[wind pulsar]

It's like the best chair they have at their price

[gilded quest]

i assume anyone getting a kraken aio is trolling

[rigid tide]

no i just want to slap ghost and pals on my aio cooler and giggle at it for like 10 hours

[wind pulsar]

So they just want it for the screen, what a surprise.

[barren apex]

Look on craigslst/offerup for offices closing and pick up a used herman miller. I'm using this (https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/248897/Realspace-Axton-Big-Tall-Bonded-Leather/) but got it on sale for 200. it's really nice

[gilded quest]

get a better AIO and a second monitor only for gifs

[barren apex]

probably helps that im over 300lbs less than its max weight for its longevity

[rigid tide]

i cant find any other screen aios that i can slap Honey Im Home By Ghost And Pals on

alsoxim going for as many screens as possible

[gilded quest]

damn you had me in the first half...

i am 5’3 and 101 pounds

[vapid smelt]

[wind pulsar]

There's only gonna be Corsair and NZXT in that regard, both are mediocre at best

The Ryujin III is also gonna have a screen, but that one will also cost $500

[rigid tide]

my mom can spend her entire bank account on purses we can probably afford the ryujin iii

[rigid tide]

fun fact i dropped to 80ish pounds once

[wind pulsar]

I'm 4'10 and barely weigh 95

Anywhere within 80 or 90 pounds even should be guaranteed unhealthy af BMI unless you're like legally under height to be considered disability

[vapid smelt]

[wind pulsar]

I'm 148cm, so I'm good

[rigid tide]

i have crogns disease🆙🆙🆙🆙

[graceful burrow]

Crohn's*

[vapid smelt]

we all get shorter as we age

[rigid tide]

IMSHAKY OKAY🆘🆘

[steep girder]

Well idk I said disability because you can be 4'10 or even under to some extent without having any actual genetic disorder. 'Dwarfism' you can confuse with actual inherited disorders a few of them. Like it's a real abnormal genetic condition

[barren apex]

103lbs is heavy when you have to carry the drunk person two blocks and they’re like a slippery noodle 😦

[hollow knot]

[barren apex]

use muscles you didnt know existed

[wind pulsar]

[steep girder]

You can even tell apart somebody with that one common form of dwarfism by the ratios of their limb lengths right?

[barren apex]

i was wrong. people can be flexible af

(s5 is 22x5x18x12.5)

[hollow knot]

Yep they can diagnose dwarfism in the womb because their bones will have different proportions

[barren apex]

22.5

[steep girder]

Then I know there's primordial dwarfism which uniformly scales down dimensions lol. There was that TLC documentary on a girl with it. She was legit doll-sized in kindergarden. They had to separate her from rest of kids at free hour because they could literally step on her

[rigid tide]

no one in my family expected that id have crohns disease everyone thought it was anxiety

[barren apex]

nope. my brother wants the surgery where they break your legsto make you up to 6 inches taller

[hollow knot]

[barren apex]

he's married now so i think hes safe, but who would go through months of that

[gilded quest]

I'm a pathetic 5'8"

[hollow knot]

Years

[barren apex]

then again I'm "short" at 5'10

[vapid smelt]

american average is 5'9

[gilded quest]

my dad is 6'2" and my uncle was 6'4"

[hollow knot]

im 5’13”

[steep girder]

Yee. But I think it's also actually proven by observing genes nowadays. Should be. It behaves like a separate gene in the sense that it's exactly 25% chance if only one parent has it etc etc. Or 1/8 chance. All of those inverse 2 powers probabilities because there's pairs of genes that either are or aren't with the condition. Then they can be recessive or dominant too.

995?

[rigid tide]

and i want liek a white/black chair

[long briar]

Secret labs is as good as aesthetic chairs get

[barren apex]

you could actually be 6 feet in the am!!!

[steep girder]

But on the other hand, even same heights as average one of people with that dwarfism condition can still happen naturally or due to some other circumstances. Like bone injuries before growth spurt, nutrition idk

[rigid tide]

noted im going secretlab

[wind pulsar]

What state were you in again?

[barren apex]

secretlabs isnt good though 😦

[steep girder]

Or some people are just naturally shorter

[pliant karma]

either 5'6 or 8 last I checked I was 5'5 but yea

[rigid tide]

for my uber autism/ref

[long briar]

It's basically the one gaming chair company that isn't complete garbage

[graceful burrow]

It's nice being 6 foot if you ignore people asking you to grab shit that's high up all the time

[gilded quest]

I think I've escaped the state of depression, so now I'm in the state of denial?

[hollow knot]

Basically. Although there have been a few cases of where two parents have dwarfism and the baby doesnt have it. And vice versa its usually an anomaly or someones been cheating

[barren apex]

I apologize, I missed that. Do they make special adaptions?

[vapid smelt]

but its also a usless gaming chair with bucket seat desing meant for race cars

[rigid tide]

HELPWHAT

[wind pulsar]

I'm just saying, maybe you're lucky and you're in a state with an average height of 5'10!

[hollow knot]

[barren apex]

adapters, things that would make that brand beneficial to your situation

[long briar]

it's actually placed decent enough that it's not as cramped as most other similar bucket seats

vocaloid

it's not anime, it's music

[rigid tide]

SHES 16. and a vocaloid so i listen to the vocaloid genre especially ghost and pals which is the “strange”part of the vocaloid genre

[gilded quest]

what does vocaloid mean

[long briar]

think of it as autotuned Siri singing

except it's meant to not be realistic, which separates it from stuff like more general pop music

[wind pulsar]

Vocaloid is the voice mixup that 'Hatsune Miku' is using
It was originally never intended to be used that way, but whatever

[gilded quest]

im still confused

i shall continue not listening/watching/reading/consuming anything weeb

[hollow knot]

[wind pulsar]

Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer, same as autotune

[magic current]

youtuber apology videos are so fucking funny

[wind pulsar]

Hatsune Miku is just more or less the face of it, which absolutely is related to anime lmao

[gilded quest]

but is vocaloid an irl thing or is it a thing in the animes

[long briar]

Eve best jpop

[hollow knot]

Baby powder…

[long briar]

it's music, like the vocals.

think of it as autotuned Siri singing... that's as good of an explanation as I can give

[wind pulsar]

On its own it doesn't have much to do with anime, it's just understood that way because an anime figure, so Hatsune Miku, is the 'mascot' of it

ok but that's not really your ACTUAL problem. What are they for and why are they external

[rigid tide]

a minor

[wind pulsar]

Ah, since she's Japanese, she isn't actually

[hollow shard]

It's Storage for Games, Virtual PC, Programs, Stable Diffusion, OBS Videos, and other files. They are external because they can't fit in my case.

[long briar]

lmao

[long briar]

what case?

[wind pulsar]

They deliberately chose 16 because that's the age you can marry at in Japan if you're female

[manic torrent]

sooooo maybe the solution is get more internal storage? That doesn't make sense.

[long briar]

either a) nas or b) define r series with a million drive bays

[manic torrent]

I don't think we are at that scale

[long briar]

sooo define 7 or smth

wait how many internal drives do you have and of what size?

[manic torrent]

now we are at least asking the right questions

[long briar]

Lmao

[hollow shard]

Some drives are throw away drives that I dont' want associated with my internal drives. They they have high activity on them and I don't want to wear out internal drives doing that. That's why I have the external drive.

[long briar]

????

[manic torrent]

I really don't think you understand enough about wearing out to make that call 🙂

[rigid tide]

ah
but still speaking of that topic i hate it when people make ,, that stuff of ghost and pals characters cause ghost himself said he’s uncomfortable with it

[wind pulsar]

Oh, I don't know how I didn't even notice this, but Japan raised the national age of consent to 16 this month, how convenient

[long briar]

spinning drives if they're a decent drive last basically forever (as long as you'd want to use em anyways)

[hollow shard]

Well I think you're stating this because you don't really know what I do with my drives...

[long briar]

raised...? so it was 14 before?

[wind pulsar]

13

Keep in mind, I deliberately said 'national'

[long briar]

Oh, but 13 requires parental consent no?

[manic torrent]

no, I'm stating that because I understand how computers work, and I understand the limits of what you could POSSIBLY be doing

[long briar]

yea, every province or whatever they call it chooses what they want to use

[wind pulsar]

No, that wasn't the purpose of the age of consent in the first place, so it technically wasn't

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wbSGVyTAS8

[hollow shard]

You can assume. But it's not what you think, lol.

[wind pulsar]

It was just set to 13 so the prefectures couldn't set the age of consent to below 13, that's all there's to it

There never actually was any prefecture that had it that low, it was either 16 or higher

[hollow shard]

Anyway it's not what I'm asking help for either way...

I was asking about a external tower.

[manic torrent]

what you're asking is the wrong question entirely

[long briar]

but if an alternative solution would be more cost effective and serve the exact same purpose, why ignore it...

[full fossil]

Bob.

[hollow shard]

And the right question is?

[manic torrent]

you are asking for a solution to the problem you have made for yourselve by solving your other problem wrong

[velvet marsh]

I feel so stupid. I was having so many issues installing Geforce experience, it just wouldn't let me install it, I restarted my computer, was about to DDU and realized my mistake

installing GFE in the first place?

[manic torrent]

not at all

[long briar]

look at where external drives got you

[rigid tide]

my dad said i can get a new desk i might get a standing one

[manic torrent]

but if you are using more than one, you're almost certainly doing it wrong.

[hollow shard]

Where did it get me?

a lot of drives?

[long briar]

into a position where you're trying to get rid of em

[hollow shard]

I'm not trying to get rid of them

[long briar]

I have two external drives, one that's for picture archives and the other for large data transfers across computers

[hollow shard]

Where did I say I was trying to get rid of them? I'm looking for a tower to put drives in?? Where did I say I was getting rid of them?

[long briar]

everything else if it's not on internal 4tb ironwolves (cause they were cheap) then is on an external server which I switched off

[hollow shard]

if you put external drives into a tower are they still external...?

https://tenor.com/view/embed-fail-gif-21166005

[hollow shard]

yeah it wont be a bunch of individual drive cases from different manufactures?

what dont you get?

[manic torrent]

a) you haven't specified what type of external drives, b) it doesn't really exist because it doesn't make sense as a product, because as covered, you're doing it wrong

[hollow shard]

[manic torrent]

you said you have multiple existing USB external drives

[vapid smelt]

#MakeGamingAffordableAgain

[manic torrent]

that is an enclosure for 3.5" sata drives

[hollow shard]

Oh now you're being specific about what I said. Like I can't remove hard drives from cases, lol.

[manic torrent]

....

[hollow shard]

Hmmm I see....

[manic torrent]

in many cases, you literally can't.

[hollow shard]

rubs chin in wonder..

[manic torrent]

you also, as I said, didn't specificy what sort of drives they were

[hollow shard]

Seems those cases can use SSDs and HDDs....

[manic torrent]

a lot of modern USB drives aren't USB-SATA, they have native USB boards on them

[hollow shard]

But my question is do they exist... and while you were calling me an idiot for asking about it. It seems like it does...

[manic torrent]

...

that isn't remotely what you were asking for.

[hollow shard]

Thanks for the "NO DAMN HELP"

[barren apex]

I feel like you aren't staying on one point

what do we need buddy

[hollow shard]

It's like you're best excuse for helping someone having external Hard Dives is for them to never had have external Hard Drives to begin with. Very help thanks.

[manic torrent]

correct

because your fundamental story about not wanting to "wear out" drives is nonsensical

[barren apex]

some of the soldered drvives quite literally cant be shucked

[vapid smelt]

external hdds in 2023?

[hollow shard]

Some can be....

[rigid tide]

what’s a good desk 🆘🆘

[barren apex]

ofc. but you can also make your own enclosure, a networked one if you wanted even

[vapid smelt]

one made of real hard wood

[barren apex]

which would be better

[hollow shard]

That would've been a better help advice then someone telling you you should've never bought external drives to begin with.

[manic torrent]

you told me that I didn't know what you did with your drives - but it literally DOESN'T MATTER, because you can do two things with a drive, write and read.

[hollow shard]

It's called help not berating someone after the fact.

[barren apex]

I wasn't here, I just know that he knows a lot more about hard drives than me and I know a lot more about them than 95% of people I deal with so I tend to defer'

[manic torrent]

The berating started after you refused advice.

[vapid smelt]

why are you still crying about it

[rigid tide]

wait what happened

[hollow shard]

My first question was is there any tower case you can use for external hard drives. Now you could've just say no unless you're talking about a shelf rack or something or you could remove the drives and put them in a external tower...

[sharp talon]

Hey guys, I’m currently doing engineering courses in my high school with heavy 3D modeling work, each project file usually costs about 5-9 GB storage and I’m contemplating whether just expanding my SSD be better or should I buy a mini NAS system to store it all then I can access it via Wi-Fi anytime

[manic torrent]

You cannot "just" remove the drives externally.

[sharp talon]

I have the budget to purchase a NAS and I plan to follow through into university

[hollow shard]

I'm just replying to people replying to me. Like I'm replying to you.

[manic torrent]

sounds like the NAS would serve you well long term

[barren apex]

If you have the budget, thats a great long term thing to have. You can upgrade and expand as needed.

I do suggest a cloud backup though

[hollow shard]

Did it never cross your mind that the external drives could just be internal drives put into external enclosers?

[barren apex]

Cmon guys, lets not fight over nothing

[sharp talon]

Alright then. What should I use to back up on cloud? Would google one suffice? Or is there another service more fitting

[manic torrent]

no, because I know for a fact that most modern drives aren't made like that, because I know what I'm talking about.

[manic torrent]

google one is fine, backblaze for backups

[barren apex]

I like googles backup service, but any of the major players cloud options are good. I'd look at pricing and how their capabilities sync with your NAS

this doesn't exist??

[manic torrent]

..... and nobody calls that a "usb external drive"

[hollow shard]

WHAT???

[barren apex]

That isn't what people call an external harddrive my man. You made it one, but nobody refers to them as such

[manic torrent]

I literally have one of those.

[hollow shard]

It's in the title???

SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive

[barren apex]

Why is this worth fighting over

[manic torrent]

I mean, if you remove all the other words, sure

SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station

[sharp talon]

Alright then, I’ll be sure to check it out, because currently I have a google pen subscription that’s just been sitting there. Thanks for the help to both of you guys, I’ll check with the manufacturer about compatibility

[barren apex]

My DMs are always open if you have questions

[hollow shard]

You know what nevermind... It's solved...

cause you're just making excuse of why you're wrong now, lol.

[manic torrent]

hahahaha

[hollow shard]

Dock is not an external hard drive, lol.

[manic torrent]

As covered - you don't know enough to know why you're wrong.

[long briar]

sigh

[hollow shard]

If it helps you sleep at night it's all good...

[long briar]

pointless statement no?

[hollow shard]

Keeps riding that high horse, lol.

[barren apex]

Literally, you're just arguing to argue now.

[sharp talon]

Alright thanks a whole bunch

[barren apex]

Any time, I like helping

[manic torrent]

I mean, out of the two of us, one has worked with servers and computers and storage for over 20 years.

[hollow shard]

Well these things help when an external hard drives isnt' a external hard drive.

Not an external hard drive case....

[long briar]

So what drives do you have

[barren apex]

I have no beef with you, I'm just trying to get you to see you're fighting yourself.

[hollow shard]

you can't put and internal hard drive into a case and call it an external hard drive it seems.

[manic torrent]

my dude. You VERY SPECIFICALLY said you wanted to house your USB external drives.

[vapid smelt]

?

[hollow shard]

doesn't exist.

[long briar]

he wants to build a raid array on USB drives!

[manic torrent]

but is worried about wearing them out

[hollow shard]

Yeah... If I was to answer this I would say there might be some shelfs like products that can hold books you can use to organize your external drives. You can also try to remove the drives and put them in a tower bay....

Is something like that so hard to come up with?

And not sound like a C explain it...

[manic torrent]

yes, because you don't know enough to know that in order to get to this problem, mistakes have been made

[hollow shard]

But people need to be high and mighty and talk down to people asking simple as questions.

[manic torrent]

Your question wasn't simple. Your question had a whole pile of implications in it

[hollow shard]

can't even figure out how to give simple ass answers.

[long briar]

Oh... I get it... we're going back to these

[hollow shard]

It's not rocket surgery

think outside the damn box....

[barren apex]

Mark, please go do something relaxing and come back and we can finish this later. When you're this frustrated even legitimate points come off as rude

[manic torrent]

hahahahaha

[long briar]

wait but seriously, actually these?

[barren apex]

I'm happy to help with whatever you're trying to do

[manic torrent]

"think outside the box" " No! Not that far!"

[hollow shard]

Rude for being talked down to when a simple question was asked.

[vapid smelt]

the return of the king

[hollow shard]

Circling the wagons I see.

[long briar]

the simple answer would've been "don't and go get more internal storage OR build a nas"

[barren apex]

You've insulted me a couple times and I'm just trying to help - it's okay, I just don't like seeing folks upset over nothing

[long briar]

but then you wanted to keep them external... why?

[vapid smelt]

cats are cute

[hollow shard]

This isn't the first question though.

[long briar]

until they knock everything over

[manic torrent]

I mean, I repeatedly asked for more details, and none of it was forthcoming

[full fossil]

What about kittens

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-this-fuck-that-fuck-these-fuck-those-thing-in-particular-gif-12387409

[long briar]

I'm still confused why you want to keep your external drives separete...

[manic torrent]

because your question is about your problem with the solution to your problem.

[hollow shard]

The question was an organization question. Not a storage capacity question.

[long briar]

if you wanted organized... ever heard of internal storage?

that's what we're missing here. Why not internal.

[hollow shard]

Ever heard of no room internally?

[long briar]

What case do you have - another question I asked earlier

What drives do you already have internally

[manic torrent]

none of that is important. This is literally my job - your "problem" isn't "I want to organise my external drives". It's "I need to do X and store Y and move it like Z"

[hollow shard]

Don't worry about the case I have. Because that's not the question. I have external Hard drives. I wanted organized. It has nothing to do with my comptuer case.

[manic torrent]

Now, there will be limitations to that, like current setup and money etc, which are many and varied.

[barren apex]

I lost my kitty this year, but I can show you him in helper mode!

[hollow shard]

why can't you people figure that out, lol.

[long briar]

then get or make a shelf like this and use it that way

[hollow shard]

THERE YOU GO!!!

[long briar]

?????

[manic torrent]

.... so you're saying DON'T think outside the box?

[hollow shard]

was that so damn hard????

[long briar]

wait. You aren't trolling...?

You guys make things complicated for no reason.

[long briar]

I don't get it... I thought he already had some sort of shelving system and thought it was too disorganized

[vapid smelt]

lol he is just waiting to get inside the boxes

[wispy marsh]

Hey, that's me!

[long briar]

and THATS what he's trying to replace

[wispy marsh]

I'm at the top of the world!

[barren apex]

i made him a box fort in the garage. he followed the dogs in the doggy door and never left

[wispy marsh]

"Mount stupid"

[long briar]

you literally can't tell me with a straight face you didn't consider a shelf once you got three drives or more

[hollow shard]

Keep riding that horse buddy. It's going going to hurt bad when you fall off of it, lol.

[manic torrent]

nawwwwwwwww

[barren apex]

the $30,000 cat

[vapid smelt]

the shelf was invented until you made it

[long briar]

he's gonna die of old age before he takes an L...

[manic torrent]

As I said, this is literally my job. It's my job to know more than you about technology. You do whatever you do, and I provide solutions to ACTUAL problems. Not imagined problems with childrens building blocks

[barren apex]

i figured out why it was NSFW. The cat had no clothes

[hollow shard]

hmmm.... we can only hope huh.

[wispy marsh]

No, cuz it's a p*ssy cat

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/puss-in-boots-cat-love-cute-gif-15673377

[hollow shard]

yet you couldn't seem to figure out a simple solution.

[barren apex]

that was a good one

[long briar]

But it's so obvious... you literally can't tell me you didn't think of it yourself before asking

[hollow shard]

3 other people had better ideas then you could've come up with.

all because you had a ridged mind set.

[long briar]

Because when you say tower, that refers to a full system. be it a nas or similar.

Had you just replaced tower with "shelf", then you already found your answer

[manic torrent]

dude. you came to a tech server wanting a little shelf for your desk that you could have found in 20 seconds googling

[long briar]

I just regurgitated what you said

[manic torrent]

So I decided to try and help you with the poor technical decisions you've made previously

[long briar]

By referencing a CD tower and floppy disk case

[full fossil]

Did you ever try to use your brain and maybe hmmmm a shelf will probably work for my drives

[hollow shard]

yeah... than seeing how you know hard drives can be shucked from external brand products. You didn't think to say "Hey maybe you can try removing them from their case and putting them in a Nas....

[long briar]

that's assuming they're not SSDs.

[manic torrent]

no, I make things complicated for very GOOD reasons, the issue is that you don't understand the reasons, therefore you don't think they exist.

[manic torrent]

They cannot be. This is NOT something you can even remotely assume

[long briar]

Just because you can't think of a reason for it doesn't mean there's no reason for it.

[long briar]

in which case even still. the larger ones sure maybe, often they're 3.5". Smaller ones you can't even assume that

[hollow shard]

It doesn't matter if they are SSDs or not. You can say "This only works for SSD, this only works for HDD. It's still better than the crap info I got.

[manic torrent]

particularly, again, given you have provided no other context or description of the hardware

or your use of it.

[vapid smelt]

so mark came in here because he couldnt figure out that you could use a shelf to store hdds?

[mental mortar]

[hollow shard]

No I came in here looking for a product.

[manic torrent]

"guys I need to put stuff on my desk, how do?"

[long briar]

when you said tower, you didn't think of this?

wait maybe there's an age gap...

[hollow shard]

something like that for hard drives or something better like a Nas.

[manic torrent]

tbh mark gives boomer energy

[mental mortar]

Oh good god if those where HDDs

[long briar]

Well, wire rack isn't neccesary, but a solid rack made of wood is plausible

[hollow shard]

But I got a lot of head up the butt responses instead of trying to figure out what the customer was looking for.

[manic torrent]

you're not a customer.

[long briar]

yea but this isn't a desk design server

[manic torrent]

I'm not being paid for this.

[hollow shard]

If I was I would have to talk to your manager. lol.

[mental mortar]

Yeah something that would’t be easy to knock down

[full fossil]

Why do you need people to help and look for a product to organized drives, just find the cheapest thing you can find that will work

[manic torrent]

...... also this is absolute bullshit. I was trying to figure out what you NEEDED. What you are looking for is not hugely relevant.

[vapid smelt]

like form harddriveshelf.com? the wood shelf picture

[hollow shard]

Becuase what if someone used something that I never seen before? Why can I not ask around?

[manic torrent]

I love it when people ask an expert, then tell the expert their answer is wrong. It's the best.

[long briar]

I don't know man. He gives off boomer vibes where he can't think of a rack to hold hard drives... but at the same time stuff like this has been made over and over because it works, and he didn't think of it almost as if he's too young to know they existed...

[hollow shard]

I thought this was a place to ask about products for tech and stuff?

[long briar]

no?

[full fossil]

[hollow shard]

I can't ask about what the best chair for my Home office? I shouldnt ask that kind of question either?

[long briar]

you could, but you're better off in a different server for that

[full fossil]

no one said you can't.

[hollow shard]

shrug I don't know I don't use this discord every day like you guys do.

[vapid smelt]

im not drunk enough for this chat

[long briar]

LTT isn't the be all end all of servers. Hell, most people here can't even figure out why Intel stopped innovating

[manic torrent]

Do you interact with humans often?

[hollow shard]

I thought this was a place to ask product question that are tech related.

I guess I was wrong.

[manic torrent]

Yes, but when you bring a sense of entitlement the size of a planet, it might not go as planned.

[long briar]

it's like... "yo where do I put my keyboard on my desk?"

[hollow shard]

Pot calling kettle black, lol.

[manic torrent]

Nobody is being paid to help you here, we aren't going to accept your dumb shit in hope of a tip

[long briar]

or "does my car go in my garage or the living room"

[hollow shard]

Got'em

[manic torrent]

what? I don't think you understand what entitlement is. That doesn't even make sense.

[hollow shard]

[manic torrent]

yes, but you apparently aren't interested in them 😄

Anything can be a tower if ur brave enuf

[long briar]

jesus that's 210 bucks

[hollow shard]

yes it's expensive

[long briar]

why.

[hollow shard]

which is why any other idea would've been helpful.

[full fossil]

You can probably find cheaper on ebay or some shit

[modest leaf]

I mean I ain't mad at usb3 and thundabolt hdds are pretty hecking fast

[barren apex]

Can I toss you a DM rq coopatroopa?

[manic torrent]

like.... not using external drives. and using a NAS. Which we could have explored if you gave ANY details.

[vapid smelt]

but why

[modest leaf]

And seemless they're kinda sick

[barren apex]

i dont know if the mean bot will ban me for typing it

sponsorblock? adblock?

youtube vanced and revanced sponsorblock?

the requirements were external hard drives.... didnt' really matter what kind because I wasn't really looking for something specific. I rough idea that something good was out there would have been enough...

nope, that's not a requirement. That's a product.

I'm building a lga775 Pentium 4 with optanes and 4090. Max bottleneck build

[full fossil]

Sponsorblock yeh

[long briar]

wait you have... 2?

[manic torrent]

2? That's LITERALLY the first number you mentioned.

[hollow shard]

just an example. Stop trying to be speific.

[long briar]

that's one of the first questions I asked as well, you ignored me x4

[long briar]

what's wrong with being specific???????

[surreal forge]

I'm starting to get mad now too. 2?!?

[manic torrent]

...... stop trying to be specific about the specific problem

[surreal forge]

I'm not in the middle anymore.

[vapid smelt]

is there a tower where i could install multiple input devices that can be connected using usb3?

[hollow shard]

you know what. you're right...

1 + 1 = 2...

[surreal forge]

I don't want to agree with you now

[long briar]

you ignored me x5

[manic torrent]

1 + 1 = 3, for sufficiently large values of 1.

[hollow shard]

you can't make an external hard drive from an external enclosure... You're right...

[long briar]

supposedly I just ran a sata (esata I guess?) cable out of my case and had an external sata power supply. Does that make it an external hard drive?

[vapid smelt]

but 1 man plus 1 women can make a baby that equals 3

[full fossil]

yes

[hollow shard]

you tell me.

[full fossil]

Or 4 sometimes

[long briar]

or how about stop being specific right? If I asked about an external drive and it was esata, wouldn't you like to know before trying to help?

[hollow shard]

Well your question was if it was an external hard drive.

so is it?

[surreal forge]

I'm back in the middle now. I don't care about any of this.

[hollow shard]

I mean is it a dock?

[long briar]

This is exactly what we felt when trying to help you.

[hollow shard]

so are you going to tell me?

[long briar]

You kept avoiding the questions

[long briar]

why are you trying to be so specific

[hollow shard]

Because I'm looking for your answer...

You asked a speific questions like you had the answer to it.

[long briar]

Ironic isn't it

this is exactly how we felt trying to help you

[surreal forge]

Anyway, y'all played with autogpt?

[hollow shard]

Well I now what I would call it I would like to know what you would call it.

[surreal forge]

I've been testing with it. Needs a lot of work but they're re-arching the whole memory and stuff right now so it's limited

[hollow shard]

because it seems to me you guy don't call external enclosures that have hard drives in it external hard drives.

so I mean there must be a specific term for it.

[manic torrent]

It's seems to me if you responded to the specific question asking for the exact hardware this would not be a fucking problem.

[steep girder]

The real irony is that two exact discrete values with a continuous gap in between fundamentally describes the same logic as two continuous spaces separated by one discrete value between them.

[manic torrent]

But here we are, because you seem to feel that being specific is simultaneously of no value, and critical.

[long briar]

I've never seen anyone say "Stop trying to be speific."

[manic torrent]

No. Because external hard drives is multiple external hard drives.

An external drive enclosure is.... An external enclosure for drives.

[steep girder]

But the real shtmaze begins when you learn that there are still asymmetries possible because the discrete value and the continuum are somehow additionally opposite on their own

[hollow shard]

uh... face palm...

[manic torrent]

Which you don't have to know, because that's the point of asking a technical expert

But refusing to answer simple questions and getting angry about it is the best way to ensure a good response.

[hollow shard]

when you put a drive in it. What is it.

[manic torrent]

An external enclosure with a drive in it.

[hollow shard]

SMILE....

😄

[manic torrent]

Dude there are literally hundreds of ways to do storage

[hollow shard]

hundreds of way to call it too.

[manic torrent]

You're a layperson, and a stupid one at that.

Yes, again, you were asked the specific model of your hardware.

[hollow shard]

If that helps you sleep at night.

[barren apex]

eggplant emoji? Really? Are you 12?

[manic torrent]

You don't get to bitch about the response you get to your vague bullshit

[long briar]

yes 💟

[full fossil]

2 now.

[vapid smelt]

but im just a floatplane sub why ask me that?

[barren apex]

you mentioned cats!

[hollow shard]

Hey if that gives you a swole head it's fine by me.

[barren apex]

I spent 99% of my time in discords where everybody knew who I was so there was no need to ask to DM. Just trying to be polite

[surreal forge]

I made a benchmark for AutoGPT to read and follow the instructions in a file. In that file it says to find out the COO of www.floatplane.com and write it to a file. It looks first at www.floatplane.com but the information isn't on the website. So it will do a google and sometimes it just searches COO of floatplane. That gets you mostly irrelevant aviation and tourism results. It's only passed this test a couple of times which is good. It pinpoints weaknesses in context retention that we hope to improve. This allows us to improve our completion percentage over time.

[long briar]

(for the record I'm not actually 12, and I need to clarify because you will get banned for that)

[barren apex]

thats fine

[hollow shard]

Hey can I borrow your enclosure with a hard drive in it, lol. That just rolls of the tongue, 😄

[long briar]

that's.... what I'd say

or alternatively I ask for the enclosure and leave the hard drive cause I have my own drive

[manic torrent]

Dude I know I'm awesome, I don't need to put others down to be awesome. I'm fighting with you because you're ignorant and belligerent. Your attitudes are what is fundamentally wrong with the world. You cannot accept advice or help, or the slightest negative connotation, and you think you know more than you do.

[hollow shard]

hey what ever floats

[long briar]

Clearly you don't

[hollow shard]

If you have to say you're awesome... you're not... Failed dude.

[manic torrent]

Yeah but that's only because you're not an idiot.

[surreal forge]

all of you are on the same level

[long briar]

fuck communism

[surreal forge]

this is dumb

[manic torrent]

I wish this were true

[steep girder]

Well what's wrong with being specific? Nothing. If there is a way to maximally specify something in whichever way, it would mean that it consists of a countable thing fundamentally.

On the other hand, you literally are prevented in physics from specifying certain things because you'll never reach the end.

[barren apex]

Read the conversation from the start - numerous attempts to help were made. I'm still willing to help

[hollow shard]

The Copium is strong with this one, lol.

[long briar]

it's still specific. Just that some assumptions must be made for the sake of sanity

[austere cape]

im black

[long briar]

I'm yellow

[steep girder]

Like, again, our actual physics prevents you from ever finding a rational solution for even a theoretical perfect circle with a radius equal to the length of a real life object. Like a meter stick

[timid meadow]

https://youtu.be/OYws8biwOYc

[surreal forge]

cant even talk about cool shit cause y'all wanna do this

[long briar]

if your shit comes out cool, you've got a problem mate

[austere cape]

that wasnt funny

[long briar]

but srsly wassup

[barren apex]

Physics also states reality isn't real and that does nobody any good to bother thinking about it since it's real to us.

[dull violet]

Hey guys

[long briar]

does it?

[dull violet]

The city in Ontario I live in finally got hit by the wild fire smoke

[steep girder]

Because it always ends up with you having the answer to the left or right by an amount expressible as any possible unit of measurement for length you picked

[barren apex]

yeah some folks won a prize, let me find it

[dull violet]

The moon is orange right now

[vapid smelt]

He doesn't have to, i will. Bobs pretty awesome

[dull violet]

Yes it is 🦫🦫🍁🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦

[hollow shard]

Well that would be more believeable...

But having to say it yourself is sad...

[vapid smelt]

where is it

[dull violet]

Air quality was all the way up to 11 (very high risk)

[steep girder]

It's already faten just because of bringing in a unit. A unit is countable. In fact, the purpose of a unit and the reason why it's representative of the number 1 is to count things

[dull violet]

You aren’t real

[long briar]

bob is pretty awesome

[full fossil]

You are not real

[timid meadow]

If you dont have enough ego to think your awesome, go find an environment that gives you that ego

[frozen sorrel]

hahha

[hollow shard]

Is that what you guys do in here?

[long briar]

Do what

[hollow shard]

are you feeding off of each others' egos?

[long briar]

you've been in this server for over two years you should know... no?

[vapid smelt]

no we do eachother

[full fossil]

lmao

[steep girder]

You cannot ever finish counting a circumference in theory of anything real with a radius expressed rationally (so with a unit somewhere). You cannot reversely express the radius counted finitely if you start with a rationally expressed circumference

[hollow shard]

You talking to me?? Are you talking to me?

[steep girder]

But you always start from one or the other lol

[long briar]

yes.

[full fossil]

you are not real.

[hollow shard]

Oh I didn't know you talking about being on the server?

[long briar]

Aiya

[hollow shard]

Just because I was on discord for a while doesnt' mean I was using it all that time.

[long briar]

who needs to be specific anyways

[steep girder]

And in physics, you actually know which one is real and which one is rational lmfao

[hollow shard]

I've only started using it about a year ago.

[steep girder]

In other words, it's real, son... it's real.

[long briar]

Love is real but not rational. I love myself

Why can't we just accept that stuff like emotions can't really be explained thru the scientific process

[hollow shard]

Discord can be a very gated community, lol.

[long briar]

Discord isn't a community, it's a platform

[surreal forge]

wanna argue about everything

[hollow shard]

You dont' have to be so specific,, lol.

[long briar]

yes
!!!!

[vapid smelt]

elon is a asshole

[long briar]

Do you talk to anyone... ever?

[austere cape]

YOU talk to much nexgen

[manic torrent]

I don't have to say it, I'm just understanding where I am at.

[hollow shard]

What are you looking for?

[long briar]

a yes or no

[hollow shard]

yees

[long briar]

Oh yea, I know. I've got over 100k total messages in this server

[steep girder]

The fact that you expressed 'myself' implies that there is a next count the first to somebody else and you know which one is which. In fact, that same thing is what implied that there's always next somebody else and you never stop counting.

What you expressed by using the object in that sentence yourself was the equivalent of 0. Everybody else you can possibly love is 1, 2 and so forth

[surreal forge]

This is like the subreddit on crack

[steep girder]

It checks out though because lol look: self expresses that there is exactly one unique thing amongst the rest lmfao.

[manic torrent]

Got some cracking technology for you

[steep girder]

There's only one zero.

[hollow shard]

It's not hard, to talk on discord if people don't act like they are part of a gated community and get riled up when an outside comes in.

clutting pearls and such....

[manic torrent]

People join here literally every day and it's fine.

[austere cape]

gated community is wild

[manic torrent]

The problem is literally you.

[hollow shard]

I guess but I'd never know from my question...

[surreal forge]

You all have more in common than you think

[sonic spruce]

Bob speaks the truth

[manic torrent]

I also have lots in common with a banana.

[hollow shard]

My question seem to touch a nerve for some reason.

[vapid smelt]

wait you put ketchup on your mac and cheese too?

[whole swallow]

Praise Bob

[long briar]

then I love my girlfriend

[hollow shard]

Everyone started to gang up on my like I was a crip walking through a Bloods neighborhood.

[vapid smelt]

can i love her to?

[whole swallow]

Oh jfc are you my gf's discord burner account, lol

[long briar]

no she's mine 😊

[surreal forge]

I'm here to heckle from the sidelines

No but seriously, anyone working on any cool projects?

[manic torrent]

Or, you were very loudly wrong to someone who has been here for a long time and is known and respected as someone who knows what he's talking about. But hey.

[vapid smelt]

nexgen isnt sharing

[hollow shard]

A hard drive CD rack

[surreal forge]

Gosh darnit

[hollow shard]

lol

[surreal forge]

the fricking shelf

[full fossil]

Shelf

[vapid smelt]

your gf has good taste

[hollow shard]

yeah that that thing

[steep girder]

My personal favorite #1 thing which I believe the vast majority today doesn't consider. But in practice, it results in serious stupidity and other things. For instance, people can have 100% in common which they can possibly justify. The only reason they are exactly opposing sides of a debate is left to only be the statement of opposition itself

[full fossil]

Was working on a truenas server, then gave up

[surreal forge]

Yo bob what's that?

[whole swallow]

I finally made a perfect medium rare steak

[barren apex]

From attempting to give someone the benefit of the doubt by assuming they were just having a bad day, to people putting eggplant emojis on a post offering a reprieve from this rampant imbecility.
Also, I suggest some of you practice some empathy before it causes you to fail miserably at life. You can choose to be kind and helpful, or you can choose to be a jerk. What you pick says a lot about you, and the amount of pointless bickering was telling.
The emojis are worse than HS students would do, and that's pretty embarrassing. Few of you should be ashamed. Anywayssss.... Anyone I offered help to - add as a friend to DM and I'll still help you out, otherwise best of luck. I hope you find someone to teach you the value of kindness one day.

[manic torrent]

Power module for my car data system 🙂

[vapid smelt]

in the microwave?

[surreal forge]

I'm proud of you

[whole swallow]

[rare hamlet]

No you ruined it with a microwave and ketchup

[surreal forge]

Don't meat shame my homie over here

[whole swallow]

The finishing touch was a healthy topping of shaky cheese

[surreal forge]

That's too far

I take it back

[full fossil]

I decided I was gonna do it next year, tho rn it's just my main pc

[rare hamlet]

I mean I’m probably younger then him and I can cook a nice steak with a good sear/crust that’s seasoned well

[surreal forge]

What kind of car?

[full fossil]

Truenas and freenas os sucks imo

Could never get anything to work right

[surreal forge]

I'm proud of you too. Its not a competition

[manic torrent]

In this case it's a 2005 Subaru legacy (liberty in au) GT

[rare hamlet]

No please stop

[manic torrent]

But it will work anywhere

[rare hamlet]

YeS iT IS

Don't forget the ranch

[whole swallow]

In all seriousness it's such a simple thing once you figure it out but so rewarding feeling

[whole swallow]

This guy gets it

[rare hamlet]

Yea no it is I hate cooking tho

[full fossil]

hmm, I wonder what a deep fried steak is like..

[whole swallow]

I used to also but something clicked in the past year and now it's a full tilt hobby for me

[frozen sorrel]

haha

my setup is finally clean and looking good

[whole swallow]

I made one batch of zero effort cheese crackers for a potluck and now I own a bunch of All Clad, the slippery slope is real.

[surreal forge]

I've been working with Auto-GPT. Its kind of a mess right now but they re-arching the whole project

[frozen sorrel]

soo yess

[surreal forge]

The OpenAI api has really gone down in quality lately.

A shelf for 2 hard drives.

[hollow shard]

[calm swan]

they is focusing only on gpt+

[frozen sorrel]

hi all how to clean my mechanical keyboard properly without removing the keys as it is a long processes . please let me know dm me if you know thanks in advance

[rare hamlet]

Yea well they implemented a few things a while ago to prevent ppl from looking up how to make deadly weapons so it’s kinda not as information heavy and doing stuff it used to do. I used it for a paper I was writing and asked it the same prompt with two separate accounts and it pooped out the same thing. But when it was not filtered it was producing information that was different

[surreal forge]

I think they've sacrificed quality over performance

[rare hamlet]

Yea well it’s not scrubbing as much data centers anymore/websites

To many filters

[last oyster]

Is windows 11 worth 150

[rare hamlet]

Can I dm u 💀

[last oyster]

What are u dming me

[vapid smelt]

Noodles

[rare hamlet]

Go look

[whole swallow]

send noods

[full fossil]

no...

Please no

[rare hamlet]

Yea and that’s where we end the convo

You know TOS 💀

[last oyster]

I bought a prebuilt pc with windows 10 installed where can I find my product key so I don’t buy windows 11

That would really help with costs on my new pc

[full fossil]

Can't really tell you where to find One

[rare hamlet]

Yea you kind of need to do that for yourself

[last oyster]

Maybe I can just put in my old ssd with windows 10 on it in to my new pc

[vapid smelt]

you can download and use windows for free from microsfot themselves
