public-chat

[desert ivy]

I recently discovered comics though. The Beginning after The end. Pretty good

[wicked garden]

once youtube pushes through with the adblocker policy I was thinking about going to floatplane; turns out you need to subscribe for every! content creator though and can't watch all channels using 1 subscription, so it's way too expensive for me

[humble monolith]

We need a PC tower and air purifier in one

It wouldn't get dusty inside the PC and also clean up the air

This is a genius idea

[summer folio]

Not to mention, there is no free trial so you know what u get

[summer folio]

Genius

Build your pc into your Vacuume cleaner

[tired glade]

What about fall off skin and hair?

[humble monolith]

Would be good for thermals

You'd still need to vacuum clean

But it'd pick up particles floating in the air

[tired glade]

Or you can make clean room for your hardware with its own climate and clarity control

Or just clean your pc from time to time

[broken folio]

You're comparing it to youtube/twitch. You should be comparing it to patreon instead.

effectively, like patreon, with floatplane you're supporting your favourite creator more directly.

[summer folio]

Today it's not illegal to dance in Public in Sweden anymore.
The Dance Permission law was abolished 1 july 2023.

[broken folio]

So what is your first public dance going to be

[desert ivy]

Even then Floatplane app doesn't compare to YouTube. Besides if you pay for Premium your views give more money to your creators than normal ad views

[crude jasper]

i don't watch much youtube anyways

[wicked garden]

not gonna pay for access and having my data sold

[summer folio]

Caramelldansen

[desert ivy]

What data do you think they are selling when you pay? Like if you are already watching it, what do you think changes when you pay?

I didn't get it

[crude jasper]

dunno how people care that much about their data being sold

Atleast in america the government can look at everything you have legally ~ i'd assume the same for china and numerous others

[desert ivy]

It's already being sold. Paying in fact reduces that because now they are not showing you ads.

[wicked garden]

that's such bs

showing you ads doesn't sell your data

they do that on top of showing you ads

[desert ivy]

Showing ads inserts tracking scripts in your browser. People pay for that access. 😬.

[wicked garden]

I'm just saying, either it's free and they sell my stuff or I pay for it

[crude jasper]

Why exactly do you care if they sell your data

[wicked garden]

anyways, someone at floatplane should probably look into a more universally accessible model

[crude jasper]

Why

It's like patreon ~ its not meant to be like youtube

[dusty rune]

yea

[desert ivy]

Once you pay they are not selling stuff. The data they sell is the information they use to track you in ads. They don't sell an excel file with your name and address

[dusty rune]

cant we just cope with the fact that everything we do on the internet is tracked

[broken folio]

YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc all sell your data to advertising agencies and others who pay for access to data mine

[crude jasper]

Almost every first world country has near complete access to its citizens networks

[desert ivy]

Selling aggregated data isn't the same as selling your data.

[crude jasper]

Is this just a case of hating capitalism? or?

[broken folio]

why do you think there are so many of those silly quizes on Facebook? they're not there and not free because they're fun. They're getting your data to what could be important questions often and people have become desensitised to those to the point they probably wouldn't notice a scammer doing it in a number of cases

[desert ivy]

And your identifiable data is their main asset they aren't giving it away. They use the identifiable part to build a profile, remove the identifiable parts and use the whole profile it to give you targeted ads. If you don't have ads because you paid, you are Gucci.

[broken folio]

they of course also track you, so they know what you visit etc, what you buy.

the idea of personal privacy is for many impossible with how these social platforms work, and many are just desensitised to it that they don't care.

look at tiktok, they've proven that china gains access to some or all of the data (hence banning it from government devices in a number of locations), but people using the app don't really care about it

[crude jasper]

Personal privacy doesn't exist the second you hit like any network

[desert ivy]

It's weird because it's also not as bad as people think. Like technically you have to assume that everything you give away it's public. But not all companies are the same.

[broken folio]

It depends on how you access that network though, there are ways you can reduce it, but you're only ever putting a belt around the pipe, rather than capping it

[crude jasper]

Government does not care

they will find a way

[desert ivy]

Google isn't the same as TikTok. Nor Facebook. Or Floatplane. Each company has its own reputation

[dusty rune]

the silly little what bird are you quizzes were fun

[broken folio]

if you accept your data is going to be given away or otherwise, then you can act in a more responsible manner about what you give and put on the internet

[crude jasper]

Tiktok was storing interceptable data in chinas borders ~ google is not

[broken folio]

fun, but mining responses to questions many banks use for security!

[desert ivy]

I agree. But also is smart to take into account who you give it too.

[broken folio]

I'm not saying those quizes are bad, but realising that you are potentially giving some faceless app the answers to your banking security questions is something more people really should be aware of

theres lots of facebook groups where people post 'what was the song on your X birthday' and similar sort of things. If you're tracking a person to scam or hack them, following them in all those sorts of groups can give you a wealth of information.

this is something that perhaps, along with financial matters should be taught to kids before they leave school

[desert ivy]

The problem with that is that you have to teach the teachers first. By the time you have a comprehensive strategy to do that the information is mostly useless and scammers have moved on to different scams

[broken folio]

Yes, but basic safety shouldn't be too difficult to get people trained in to at least give kids an awareness.

[desert ivy]

Yeah, perhaps show them to never give their information online.

[broken folio]

Or at least think carefully about the types of information they give out.

That sort of teaching could potentially protect them from online predators as well, but that is probably a more difficult thing to teach kids.

The trouble with tech, teaching and politicians is that the ones who need to be taught, require people who know the subject well and the ones who need to make the laws often have no clue about what they're making laws about, dependant upon experts, which is of course open to abuse

[manic torrent]

Uhhhh nope.

[crude jasper]

Patriot act says otherwise

in the case it's illegal ~ NSA doesn't give a shit.

[desert ivy]

I think it's not as simple as with the Chinese. But yeah, they can get access for sure.

[manic torrent]

It's.... Not that simple at all. It's stupidly reductive to look at it through such a simplistic lense

[crude jasper]

OK

[manic torrent]

Also the NSA doesn't give a fuck about your petty ass crimes

[crude jasper]

Dunno bout that one

[manic torrent]

I do

[crude jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-robinson-i-think-you-should-leave-you-sure-about-that-gif-22429959

[manic torrent]

Unless your petty ass crimes are international terrorism or similar

[desert ivy]

Snowden said that employees passed around nudes they found. But I agree that mostly they don't care.

I know they aren't passing around mine 😬

[manic torrent]

In the office, highly likely. With any other agency/etc? No way.

[desert ivy]

Yeah. The main difference is that the US government doesn't use surveillance to impede free speech. Which is a huge contrast with the Chinese and the real issue. Although using it for law enforcement is shady. Like I wouldn't want Ring cameras giving out traffic tickets in the future

[rough birch]

Excuse me what the hell kinda news did I miss????

Uh is this about the Roomba thing?

[manic torrent]

Which is possible but unlikely

[manic torrent]

That was ages ago and wasn't a retail model.

[desert ivy]

I'm talking about Ring giving out your information to law enforcement without your consent

[rough birch]

Yeah idk what's going on and chat history and giving any clues

[rough birch]

Oh I thought thats been a thing for years even before the articles first got published

Oh sorry 4 the ping

[desert ivy]

I mean, if they think a video from your account might help catch a criminal. They just give the whole thing. Which may include you walking nude in your house.

[manic torrent]

This is why I have all my video stored and processed locally. I do not record internally.

[desert ivy]

My guess is they do that to avoid legislation that would force them to comply in the future. Or they just don't care. Or they think their customers don't care.

[manic torrent]

Ring's licensing allows them to just... Give it to police.

It specifically mentions it in their agreement.

The police can request my footage. But unless they have a warrant it's my choice.

[broken folio]

Well you give consent by agreeing to their service terms, as with many of these things.

[rough birch]

I get having something like Ring for ease of use or something. But I also don't get the trend of integrating it into evrything like your Fridge or your washer.

[manic torrent]

Yeah man people don't want things to be easy

[broken folio]

This is why ufi (anker brand, spelling?) was sucha big deal as they promised it was all local, and it very much wasn;t

[rough birch]

Wdym?

[manic torrent]

Oh, absolutely. Fortunately for me I wouldn't trust their software in any case, and I just use streaming cameras connected to my server.

[broken folio]

In some cases people have been forced by courts to remove their ring cameras as people have been able to argue invasion of their privacy by having the camera in a given location

[desert ivy]

True. Although that Term of Service thing is absurd. Like you would expect them to give your info about a doorbell. But not a camera that's a baby monitor. Terms of Service should include a reasonableness standard for them to be valid.

[manic torrent]

Having stuff integrated makes life easier. My front door is a ZigBee lock, so I can unlock it programmatically

[broken folio]

Yes, but these things are often vague enough for them to get away with things and not worry about being sued by you or others.

[manic torrent]

So I can do facial recognition at the front door camera and unlock.

[rough birch]

I mean if they also wanna argue safety I can just also set up some Pi running Wigle right outside on my street corner. 2 way street, but most people will respect others. Should be expected they respect ours too

[broken folio]

Have you upgrades the frame, jam and hinges to make it more secure too? as facial recognition as a security measure is not really any better than a standard lock in most cases unless you upgrade the physical security too

[manic torrent]

Nonono you're not getting me, it's so you don't need a key.

[broken folio]

Didn't amazon recently hamstring Ring cameras unless people paid their subscription?

[rough birch]

I mean that yeah, but maybe it's just me, but I doubt I need my fridge to say I need for vitamin A

[broken folio]

How does it fail over in a power cut?

[manic torrent]

They don't do that, maybe use an actual example.

[broken folio]

I'm not critising you for it btw, just curious

[manic torrent]

You just put in the pin

Also all of my devices have a no-network failsafe

[broken folio]

How is it powered if theres a power cut then?

[rough birch]

No shit?

[desert ivy]

My parents house has a pin. With batteries that last a long time.

[manic torrent]

Batteries

[broken folio]

ah

figured so

[manic torrent]

Basically it's an electronic pin lock with batteries, and it has a ZigBee module added.

It does nothing smart, it just locks and unlocks

[broken folio]

Is there a key failsafe ?

[desert ivy]

But my house is a big metal door. I don't think I could install a lock like those if I wanted.

[manic torrent]

No, there is a 9v battery failsafe

Also honestly if that happens I just.... Open the garage door.

[broken folio]

My brain naturally tends to go 'ok, but what about x, y, or z?' when thinking about various things

[manic torrent]

Oh, you're absolutely right

[sweet jetty]

Supsup lttcord

[desert ivy]

The battery on my parents last a long time. And it gives a low battery warning for at least a month before it goes out.

[manic torrent]

So I have switches based on esp8266. They have programming so that if they are talking to home assistant they tell h-a to change the lights. If it isn't, it turns the power off or on

[sweet jetty]

That's sweet

[manic torrent]

My heater thermostat is controlled by home assistant, but it still has a display and physical controls

[wispy marsh]

Wow

Live performers also use boss multieffect pedals

[desert ivy]

I haven't done anything smart on my home. Besides Alexa in my room to turn off the lights and control the AC.

[wispy marsh]

I feel like I just thrown a lot of money (~$600) into a hobby i'm only starting to pick up

[broken folio]

I want to get the lighting upgraded to smart control, but I'm not sure which system to start with really atm.

[desert ivy]

They are cool but you don't get your money's worth unless you are good at your instrument

[sweet jetty]

types on my 700$ keyboard

Tell me about it 💀

[wispy marsh]

My keyboard's $300, with a $300 keycap set coming soon™️

[manic torrent]

eh, that's how it goes.

[desert ivy]

That hobby to me it's the biggest scam. The mechanical keyboard community lost me when they started saying Cherry German mechanical switches are trash and instead I should buy expensive Chinese Switches.

[wispy marsh]

I don't even know how to play the guitar properly, and I have gear suitable for live performance

[manic torrent]

.... what the fuck are you on about. That's not a scam.

[broken folio]

akin to audiophiles really

[wispy marsh]

Yep yep

[manic torrent]

don't get me wrong, I think that's crazy, but it's not a "scam"

[wispy marsh]

I have about $1500 worth of audio equipment, but audio is worth it

[manic torrent]

Nobody is lying to you for profit.

[broken folio]

theres plenty of good stuff for them, but theres plenty of snake oil vendors too

[timid meadow]

Tbf you cant refer to an entire community like that. The people you talked to said do x

[desert ivy]

I know it's not a scam. But its something you say when something is too expensive

[manic torrent]

no, it isn't.

[sweet jetty]

Lmaoo, I have a 200 buck set of keycaps on the way too 💀

[timid meadow]

Those people could have been wrong

[wispy marsh]

Cherry switches is okay. They don't have clickbar switches so I use Kailh's

Besides, you can just get hotswap sockets. Solder them on and forget 'em

[broken folio]

it is really a rabbit hole hobby within a hobby

[wispy marsh]

Is it cute or pink?

[manic torrent]

niche specific stuff is expensive. That's how it goes.

[desert ivy]

Agree to disagree. I think calling overpriced stuff a scam is common even when they are not technically a scam.

[broken folio]

I get what you're saying, but I think your using the wrong word

scam implies deception.

[manic torrent]

Unless there is an element of misrepresentation, that's crap. You're talking about extremely specific low volume parts.

[wispy marsh]

This is the set (not novelties) that I ordered in Q1'22

[manic torrent]

Is the latest biggest TV a scam? Obviously not.

[broken folio]

I don't think theres deception on a lot of the stuff. The prices are high because it is very niche and a smaller market to sell products to, so the per unit cost goes up accordingly

[manic torrent]

Is a 4090 a scam?

[wispy marsh]

Is the iPhone a scam?

[desert ivy]

Artisan Keycaps are cool though. Like you are paying for art. But man I used to be a member of mechanical keyboard subreddit 12 years ago.

[timid meadow]

Life is a fuckin scam

[broken folio]

Its like saying the various hand held game devices are a scam because they're more expensive than the stead deck. The steam deck in that comparison is heavily subsidised by Valve on the basis of making money back on you buying games from Steam.

[manic torrent]

see now that I'm on board with 😄

[broken folio]

Scam no, rip off maybe

[wispy marsh]

I don't know, I've been using iPhones for 13 phone generations years

[manic torrent]

but is it a rip off? The price to performance is great!

[desert ivy]

No. But people have called Nvidia, Apple a scam for ages. Have they not?

[manic torrent]

If you use the same speech as idiots, don't be shocked when people look at you the same way.

[broken folio]

rip off is subjective and personal tbh. To some the price is worth it if they can afford it. To others it just seems an obscene price for something they know (myself included) they'll never be able to afford

[manic torrent]

look I could "afford" a 4090, but it makes no goddamn sense whatsoever

[wispy marsh]

The newest nvidia GPUs aren't scams

It's the way you were meant to be played.

[broken folio]

The prices are what happens when theres no one to really truely challenge them anymore

[desert ivy]

I thought my meaning was understood. I don't think using common parlance makes me an idiot and the people I consider smart don't judge me for it. So 🤷🏽

[wispy marsh]

M1/M2 macbooks, prolly

[manic torrent]

look, honestly, the 4090 price is fine. It's just that there's nothing further down the stack

[manic torrent]

The problem with the people you consider smart is that I'm not sure you're well qualified 😄

[broken folio]

it is a halo card. the vast majority of people probably wouldn't be pushing the card to its limits unless they have enough money to also get the very latest monitors, CPU etc too.

[manic torrent]

If cards further down the stack had BETTER price/performance than the 4090, it would be fine.

[desert ivy]

Well, it's not you. That's for sure hahaha. As it takes a special kind of person to take issue with a word that everyone understood.

[wispy marsh]

It's the way you were meant to be played

[manic torrent]

your mistake is thinking everyone understood and didn't judge you for it.

[broken folio]

4060 being a prime example.

it gets creamed by the 6700XT/6750XT

[manic torrent]

oh yeah, straight garbage

[broken folio]

and with the recent driver updates even the A750 gives it a good run for its money

[wispy marsh]

Waste of sand

• steve burke

[wispy marsh]

Does it?

[broken folio]

And the rest of the elements

[wispy marsh]

The 750 is cheaper, is it not?

[broken folio]

yes, Intel is saying upto 30% improvements

give Jayz video a look he compares the cards with the latest drivers etc, the 750 puts up a pretty good fight

[wispy marsh]

[manic torrent]

yeah intel basically released a like.... proof of concept driver.

[broken folio]

its not top of the stack for everything tested, but the performance is surprisingly good in a number of cases

[timid meadow]

Fx 4350 for those who asked

[manic torrent]

The latest ones make it perform very well in terms of where it sits

[broken folio]

First generation syndrome I think. They needed to get it to market in some form.

[manic torrent]

oh for sure.

[wispy marsh]

They found a lot of problems after they released it

[broken folio]

that driver work will make a big diference when the Battlemage cards launch

[manic torrent]

ehhh not really problems as such - they just made it work for release, and then made it GOOD over the next .. 9 months? year? whatever

[wispy marsh]

I remember there's a architectural flaw with SAM that they fixed in Celestial

[desert ivy]

Titles like "Nvidia is a scam" turns hundreds of results in YouTube. But yeah I shouldn't assume you would understand my meaning. As non literal wording seems to go over your head.

[wispy marsh]

They had to release it or they would have to release it alongside Battlemage

The review with GN was very eye-opening

[broken folio]

They made a decision to focus on DirectX12 rather than earlier versions, so that is a fair proportion of the driver work

[timid meadow]

125w for a 4c/4t? Wtf

[wispy marsh]

Apple GamePortingToolkit for non-DX12 when

[broken folio]

well Proton and DXVK already exists, so i expect those will get ported at some point? Crossover probably has it working to some extent

[wispy marsh]

AGPT basically slapped M1/M2 pointers onto an opensource code

[sweet jetty]

Pink and violet yesh

[wispy marsh]

Pics

Is it gmk or epbt?

[manic torrent]

yes, because they are inflammatory and get clicks.

[sweet jetty]

It's a milkyway demon girl, sadly don't have them yet so no pics

[summer folio]

Can't believe they made another spider man painted black cartoon movie

They even gave him a white gf this time

[manic torrent]

Calling low volume specific use parts a 'scam' is stupid. It's not at all the same as calling mass produced parts a scam. Not to mention that there's absolutely a level of deception in nvidias behaviour.

[wispy marsh]

Oooh

[sweet jetty]

Im getting it third party shipped from a person in Spain so it'll take a bit

[desert ivy]

Whats wrong with Miles Morales? Or him having a white gf?

[wispy marsh]

It looks good!

[sweet jetty]

Ikr

[summer folio]

Idk man, black females usually very mad at "interracial couples"

someone is getting left without partner

[sweet jetty]

That's messed up

[desert ivy]

But you seemed mad and you brought it up. So don't you think Mile Morales having a White Gf is pretty cool?

[broken folio]

It was something that was illegal for many years at one point, generationally that stigma might well have been passed down

[stray apex]

The way he says "black females" is kinda sus

[sweet jetty]

How so? 😭

[summer folio]

In Sweden we just say africans

I'm adapting to english chat

[broken folio]

indeed

[stray apex]

I mean, 99% of the time someone says "females" in this context it's a little
Y'know

[desert ivy]

ok it's messed up that I laughed at that last comment

[broken folio]

saying 'females' makes people look like they're a ferengi

[sweet jetty]

shrugs not really

[summer folio]

Infinity Contrast, good for them ig

Like OLED.

[stray apex]

Also he started the convo complaining about black spider man lmao

[desert ivy]

Criticizing interracial couples. Even fictional couples its unacceptable behavior.

[dusty rune]

are they together though

[summer folio]

I understand why black females are the most oppressed group in America, they can't even complain about their date pool shrinking.

[sweet jetty]

I mean, criticizing them sure is shrugs

[summer folio]

"unacceptable behavior."

[sweet jetty]

Well

Criticizing anyone for choosing to be someone when they're both happy is

[desert ivy]

I'd get it if it was a white character played as black...like the Cleopatra thing. But criticizing Canon characters in the Spider verse is a different thing

It's just dumb

[sweet jetty]

Goes for same race, different race, anything

[dusty rune]

making a documentary and messing up the race of the person is crazy

[stray apex]

Eh

Really feels more like an Italian American deciding to make a documentary on Mozart because he was European or something

[dusty rune]

idk if its quite the same

1.1/10 on IMDB holy shit that documentary is trash

[stray apex]

I mean, the main difference is that African American ancestors didn't choose to leave their homeland, but like

[sweet jetty]

I love watching awfully rated shows and movies lately

They're usually so bad, they're hilarious

[dusty rune]

what the hell does this have to do with anything

[stray apex]

The fact that a lot of Americans want to try and "reconnect with their old culture" is definitely a thing
Also we tend to suck at it lol

[desert ivy]

I watched the Power Rangers new movie recently haha. It was bad but it hit me in my childhood

[dusty rune]

youre making a documentary about a person, then messing up the race of the person

[sweet jetty]

😭 I've yet to watch that

Nothing beats power rangers SPD

[summer folio]

Have someone made a dating app already;
Where only black females & male asian can sign up?
Seems like a big market gap, ready to get filled somewhat atleast.

[dusty rune]

do you have to show your birth certificate to join?

[sweet jetty]

Such a huge target audience 😭

[desert ivy]

This has to be race bait haha

[wispy marsh]

Drinking is unacceptable behavior

[sweet jetty]

What if someone's mixed tho, can they join the app?

[median idol]

What even is this chat

[summer folio]

Nono, transracial people also allowed. #WeAreInclusiveHere

[sweet jetty]

Something

[wispy marsh]

Made only for transracial transgenders

[tired glade]

Just don't drink,4head

[wispy marsh]

It'll be a good app

[tired glade]

It's Sunday

[fierce moth]

I fucked up my back while playing vr

[tired glade]

How you hurt your back?

[fierce moth]

idfk

[sweet jetty]

Wait, what? What timezone you in?

[wispy marsh]

She broke your bed?

[fierce moth]

as i was playing a flight sim

[tired glade]

Oh right, it's Saturday

[wispy marsh]

Australia and beyond

[desert ivy]

By being out of shape and/or old

[sweet jetty]

Dude vr makes me dizzy

[wispy marsh]

I wanna try and buy the apple vision pro

[sweet jetty]

Like- really dizzy

[wispy marsh]

Low framerates?

[sweet jetty]

I wanna try it too! Probably won't buy it tho, I have literally no use case for it

[desert ivy]

I bought the original Oculus Dev Kit and used it for like 40 minutes in total. Never again

[wispy marsh]

Just like our keyboards.

[sweet jetty]

Nah, it was a very well specced machine

[wispy marsh]

Must be the vr effect

[sweet jetty]

😭 mechs are just deeply satisfying to type on, what can I say

[stray apex]

It's normal to get nauseous in vr, especially at first

[fierce moth]

this

i literally couldnt play vtol vr before

[stray apex]

Although apparently some women can't get over the nausea for reasons we don't understand?
I dunno if that's true, but I did read it somewhere

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, but I don't wanna puke again 😭 plus I was on my periods then, so I was having awful cramps and dealing with nausea for an hour after

[fierce moth]

but now i can do all sorts of cool shit

[sweet jetty]

Literal battle back then 😭

[wispy marsh]

I notice that things in AR tend to shift around when you move your device, and I suspect it happens with VR too. I've also heard that the Vision Pro deals with that almost impeccably well, and I'm very interested in trying it.

[stray apex]

Were you moving in VR?

[sweet jetty]

Mhm

[stray apex]

I still can't do smooth locomotion in VR, but stationary is totally fine

Nausea while moving is super common

[sweet jetty]

I mean, I've done stationary vr, that's still alright

[fierce moth]

the only fix for that kind of stuff is a higher refresh rate in the headset

[stray apex]

Nah

[wispy marsh]

You're missing the rest

[stray apex]

Your eyes tell you you're moving
The rest of your body doesn't detect it

So you get motion sick

[fierce moth]

plus when i play vr while standing i feel like im gonna fall over

[wispy marsh]

Nvidia reflex and ulmb2 is one of the solutions that vr is supposed to have

[fierce moth]

not motion sick, just a falling sensation

[wispy marsh]

Extremely low latency and high clarity

[sweet jetty]

I searched it up and it's somewhat gene dependent too, some people's minds don't like or process the vr stuff well making them feel nauseated

[wispy marsh]

I don't like looking at AR

[fierce moth]

also my rift s controller is starting to drift with the sticks

[wispy marsh]

Even I get sick of looking at it with the iPhone's supposedly exceptional tracking

[stray apex]

iPhones tracking isn't gonna be that good

[wispy marsh]

It's not that good. The LIDAR though, is exceptional.

[stray apex]

It only gets to use one, maybe two cameras if it can use the selfie camera

And it only gets the good sensors on one end

[wispy marsh]

If i had to use LIDAR, I'd definitely go to the pro max phones

[sweet jetty]

The lidar is really cool

[wispy marsh]

Too bad i only actually used it once

[stray apex]

It's pretty much industry standard for facial capture stuff

[wispy marsh]

It performed really well for when I was planning stuff for the new house

[sweet jetty]

My friends and I scanned stuff in our room with it and polished it a bit to put in our game lmao

[wispy marsh]

Oooh nice

[sweet jetty]

And it looks really freakin cool

[wispy marsh]

I use polygon app

You can export it in popular 3d formats, and the precision is eerily accurate for something you scan on a 2d screen

If they actually put more work into locking DX9-DX11 game ports behind Appstore fees, they would invest a LOT into gaming than what is possible now

[sweet jetty]

Im not sure what she used but it was probably polygon

[wispy marsh]

(This is the daiquiri speaking)

[young valley]

How come on WAN show they always mention the LTT forums, and the LTT subreddit... But have never acknowledged the existence of this discord server, which is heavily active

[wispy marsh]

I'm very tipsy

[wispy marsh]

They do, but they rarely open it

[summer folio]

Reversed Age'ism

[wispy marsh]

It's the other staff that notifies them during the wan show

[summer folio]

Linus hate zoomers, He even fired that one cool girl

[sweet jetty]

Sarah?

[wispy marsh]

She left because of personal reasons iirc

[summer folio]

Maddison

[young valley]

I was just curious bc this discord server is awesome and so incredibly active

[sweet jetty]

Oh, she was fired?

[wispy marsh]

Idk if she was fired

I just thought that the pace of lmg was too much for her

[broken folio]

It is possible that she got homesick too as she had to move from the US to Canada

[wispy marsh]

Oh?

I see

[broken folio]

She still streams IIRC

[summer folio]

Oh, maybe it was so simple as Linus refusing her to work remote

[wispy marsh]

She does still stream

[broken folio]

Linus of course will never name names about people who have left etc.

[summer folio]

He have lots of those insane rules
LIke illegal to tell each other what you get payed, so he can pay his employees as littel as possible

[desert ivy]

She was super cool. Shame that she left

[wispy marsh]

Nope. He named Max during one of the wan shows, years after she left, same thing with Taran and Brandon

[broken folio]

She was annoying.

[broken folio]

Ok, rephrase that to not usually rather than never.

[young valley]

Cmon now dont be disingenuous.. Linus seems like a really good guy who doesnt have morives like that

[sweet jetty]

I mean, not as minimum as possible, I hope he knows that if one of the employees decides to expose that, his yt career would be in mega danger

[wispy marsh]

Madison was too much energy for me

[broken folio]

Taran and Brandon were a bit different as they were much more public departures, so of course he commented on them

[summer folio]

You mean "on-camera"?

[wispy marsh]

Her departure video was on CSF. The way they painted her nails made me cringe

[sweet jetty]

Ngl I really loved Maddison's energy

[desert ivy]

What LTT employees can't discuss their salaries? Source for that?

[broken folio]

Linus has repeatedly said that employees are paid pretty well and also get a number of perks

[summer folio]

Pretty sure he said it on WAN show, end of discussion.

[desert ivy]

Her video about the ROG Rig was super fun.

[young valley]

I mean he seems uktra transparent and he literally said out loud multiple times he pays well, and many of his hosts have become celebrities themselves

[sweet jetty]

Mhm

[broken folio]

And things like hiring/firing and wages etc is not really Linus' domain, that will have more oftne been Yvonne. And going forward it will be Mr. Tong's domain.

[wispy marsh]

Emily is an amazing host

[sweet jetty]

Anthony best host

[young valley]

Linus also said hes proud of how much he pays people

[summer folio]

I have never seen Emily host, Anthony on the other hand.

Did Emily get fired?

[broken folio]

No, they took a step back from making videos to avoid the expected backlash effecting the channel.

[sweet jetty]

Yes, she went to Paris 💯

[desert ivy]

I didn't particularly like her style as Anthony. But it was ok. Riley it's my favorite host.

[sweet jetty]

Sorry that was an awful one 😭

[sweet jetty]

Fair, I loooveeee Anthony's Linux stuff

[summer folio]

Riley fave LMG employee for sure!

[desert ivy]

Maybe it's because I don't particularly care for Linux videos or retro gaming

[sweet jetty]

Ltt should have a dedicated Linux channel 😔

[summer folio]

Ashame there is no Riley emotes on this discord
I have several Riley emotes on my Discord haha

[sweet jetty]

To each their own

[summer folio]

#linux

[sweet jetty]

No, I meant like a yt one

Lmao

[median idol]

I would love to see a custom water cooling related channel someday

[young valley]

Riley and Alex are my favorites

[dire oasis]

It’s been said, and let’s be honest, Linux videos don’t do well. I’d love to see more but if the views aren’t there…

[sweet jetty]

I mean, yeah, not everyone's that technical so it's fair

[timid meadow]

If only J2C knew how to finish a build

[desert ivy]

I've used Linux but only for work and only Ubuntu. I was into it in college though.

[broken folio]

Yeah, he gets sidetracked. But the bits he does do often make for good videos.

[summer folio]

I've used Linux, but only on phone. aka Android.

[broken folio]

I rather like Dan most of the time

[broken folio]

Android isn't really Linux, beyond using the Linux kernel underneath.

[desert ivy]

Check Jeff Geerling channel. I think it has that Linux user vibe.

[mortal kraken]

insert GNU linux copypasta

[timid meadow]

Definitely, not necessarily dogging him. But hes scrapped a couple builds that would have been sick

[dire oasis]

I use a Lenovo super tiny machine with Ubuntu as my daily web browsing pc and windows for gaming

[summer folio]

So, Android then.

[sweet jetty]

That's fair, ubuntu is good to get a feel for Linux, but more specialised ditros feel much nicer

[summer folio]

Linux* You see

[sweet jetty]

Oh I do lol, but LTT energy is just different man

[summer folio]

Slackware or bust

[broken folio]

Android is increasingly edging towards effectively being a closed garden with moves by google in relation to the open source android releases

[broken folio]

I prefer Mint over Ubuntu personally.

[summer folio]

Mint? Why not Linux Clear. ⚡

[dire oasis]

The Linux Experiment, level one techs, occasionally Craft Computing have good Linux content

[sweet jetty]

Oh, mint is what I usually default to on my machine too

[manic torrent]

linux clear, why not linux from scratch

[young valley]

What is that engineer dudes name with the long hair and the accent?

[sweet jetty]

Its so calming for some reason

[timid meadow]

I usually default to some flavor of Ubuntu

[broken folio]

I typically use Mint on desktop, and Debian on the servers

[young valley]

Name

[dire oasis]

For me Ubuntu is Linux easy mode

[broken folio]

LTT? Kyle

[dire oasis]

there’s way more guides for Ubuntu

[sweet jetty]

My thinkpad is a triple boot with stripped down windows 10, a Linux distro I switch every 2 months, currently mint because it feels like home and macos

[desert ivy]

Like if you want variety just install a different Windows Manager

[sweet jetty]

It's so fun

[broken folio]

If it works on Ubuntu it'll probably work on Mint in a lot of cases

[young valley]

Thank you! Yeah hes good too, surprised hes not in more videos

[sweet jetty]

In all cases lmao, it was made to be that way

[dire oasis]

Isn’t mint a KDE/Ubuntu derivative?

[sweet jetty]

Plus mint feels easier for windows peeps too

[broken folio]

Too busy designing the latest thing Linus has thought of!

[sweet jetty]

Mhm

[desert ivy]

Which begs the question why would you want an OS to have any difficult level. Unless fixing things that are wrong with it is the whole purpose of the OS

[broken folio]

They diverge more with each release to soem extent, the underpinnings are of course ubuntu

[broken folio]

Mint is a Gnome/Cinnamon derivitive, though there are LXDE and KDE versions as well as a Debian based version

[sweet jetty]

Oh, I think they meant that in the context of its easy to them, granted some people like to flex their OS because they're "skilled" (I use arch btw) but most people just like to hop around and have fun

[broken folio]

Depends upon your skill level and interest I expect. Some people like the challenge and tinkering.

[dire oasis]

Linux is doing alot to move towards gui but there’s still alot of CLI even for regular tasks. Windows is 99.9% gui, the average user is scared of CLI.

[sweet jetty]

Mhm, the most approachable Linux distro rn by all means

[broken folio]

most Linux GUIs are just wrappers to the CLI commands. UNIX/Linux has long had the philosophy of one command for each task, so often you'd pipe multiple commands together to get what you want, usually with a script

[broken folio]

One of them sure.

[desert ivy]

Is Arch package manager better than Ubuntu RN? Like is there a distro where you truly don't need the CLI

[dire oasis]

Same can be said for windows.

[broken folio]

I have always favoured APT for package management. In 20+ years I've yet to truely break things beyond some way of getting it working again.

[desert ivy]

I forgot that I use windows for my home server. So technically I'm a Linux user. It's Ubuntu. It didn't had a GUI for a while but rn it does. I installed a web interface just so I can restart services if they crash

[broken folio]

Not really, a lot of programs don't have any CLI versions on Windows. In the early days of course there were DOS programs that ran in the background, but it didn't really have the same UNIX like philosophy of one command for one thing, oftne programs would do multiple different things at once in DOS, though not exclusively or always

[sweet jetty]

Arch is much more advanced and customisable than a run to the mill ubuntu install, it's more fun and stable but ofc only for people who really understand their machines and to the latter, probably not ngl, when Linux distros are made, they're made to cover most of the people's compatibility, there are always some things that are not compatible that well with your specific machine that you have to open the command prompt to tinker with

[dire oasis]

After I became familiar with it I really like apt, I’m starting to like snaps

[broken folio]

I typically find I get things done quicker with a CLI and screen over SSH

but then most often I am managing my server from my desktop, often booted into Windows these days mind

[desert ivy]

I don't want to install WSL on my windows computer just to restart nzbget which for some reason crashes every now and then. But mostly I don't use it a lot anymore. This is probably the last year I'll pay for a Usenet subscription

[dire oasis]

Right, but under the hood it’s all cli/calls from one service to another. Windows hides all that, if the developer wants they can add cli to their program.

[timid meadow]

People hate on snaps but its just another installer to me 🤷

[dire oasis]

I like the compartmentalization, same reason I like docker

[gilded quest]

I had a Samsung tv for a year and the ads were so bad 😂
I wanna say it was a 2017 model

[timid meadow]

Unraid makes docker stupid easy

[dire oasis]

If you’re using linuxserver.io they’ve eol nzbget, they now support sabnzb

[desert ivy]

I hate not knowing if the package I installed it's a .Deb package or a snap, or something I installed in another manner. Because it's been years since I set that thing uo

[dire oasis]

Docker compose makes docker easy and there’s not an extra layer on top of it

[timid meadow]

I mean, that extra layer runs my nas so its kinda necessary

[dire oasis]

Once you install a snap it’s acts like an apt

I have Synology for my nas because I’m lazy, and an ancient one cause I’m cheap. So I can’t run docker on my nas.

[timid meadow]

If your lazy try the unraid trail on a machine. Play with it for a bit. Worth every penny imo

[summer folio]

I have snap installed on my phone

it's like every other social media, but worse

[timid meadow]

Community apps are

[dire oasis]

Synology is plug and play. I literally installed drives, turned it on, followed the wizard, and was done. Took me about an hour to get it running.

[timid meadow]

Doesnt synology encrypt the drives or something tho? Ive heard its a headache when a synology has a drive failure

I couldve heard wrong 🤷

[dire oasis]

Not that I’m aware of, the new boxes throw an error message for “unsupported drives”, encryption is user enabled

[pearl isle]

Hey could someone help me with a motherboard issue? It will not connect to wifi aswell as eithernet.

[desert ivy]

There's a channel for that. #1027757333117415424

[pearl isle]

Ok thank you

[sweet jetty]

Do you have a girl bro?

😭

You tell me

Because that was random af 😭

Good for you

ok

[terse lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Ab2F8UwvQ

[desert ivy]

Tell your friends. Or post it on the comment section of your favorite right winger. Otherwise it's a pretty random thing to say out of nowhere on a tech forum lol

[sweet jetty]

Bro just watched 10 tate videos and felt motivated 😭

[desert ivy]

Haha true. Like there's nothing wrong with the belief. But it's funny to think where does it come from.

[sweet jetty]

Fair

Eh

[desert ivy]

My point is that there's a time and a place for everything. The time came out of nowhere and this is definitely the wrong place.

[sweet jetty]

I mean, it's okay but, it depends on the girl and what they want

[desert ivy]

How is it funny how I came into the conversation

[sweet jetty]

😭

[terse lintel]

Are you looking for support of some kind?

[desert ivy]

if I had something else to do I wouldn't be on here. Lol

To be honest I want to meet a 10/10 girl who is a doctor and is rich AF and pays me to stay at home to play videogames. I'm all for breaking gender stereotypes 😎

[manic torrent]

.... yeah ok dude.

[desert ivy]

But I'd settle for being loved.

[sweet jetty]

😭

I have thoughts like those sometimes at like 3 am

I just put on this song
https://youtu.be/llGvsgN17CQ

[desert ivy]

Hahahahaha.

[sweet jetty]

It's absolutely beautiful

[crystal pike]

can i use chatgpt withiut an account? like a bot on yhere or something

i dont trust openai

[sweet jetty]

Nah, they even verify your phone now

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn6gV2sdl38

[sweet jetty]

Don't use their product then?

[crystal pike]

i used to like them

but noiw theyre like my least fav thing

[sweet jetty]

That's fair but

Using chatgpt without an account isn't possible so

shrugs

[crystal pike]

i dont use chatgpt but i wanted to test something

[tardy terrace]

[crystal pike]

too good ngl

im going to install ios 17 dev beta today

everyone advised me not to do it but im going to do it

[desert ivy]

https://youtu.be/9jLDZjMF3tk

clearly making good decisions

[crystal pike]

[full fossil]

is a Cooler Master MWE 650 White - V2 PSU better than a Cooler Master Elite NEX White 700W PSU??

[desert ivy]

We got a badass over here Meme haha

[manic torrent]

My current wife is absolutely the best wife I've ever had

[tardy terrace]

cringe

[sweet jetty]

Fair

[crystal pike]

last time i intalled a beta software i had to reinstall the entire firmware. Funny part is i had to it four times because it kept failing

[manic torrent]

certainly in the top ten

[tardy terrace]

women are pretty rad ngl

[crystal pike]

you got married ten times

[sweet jetty]

Im staying away from it currently, it's very buggy

[tardy terrace]

we're better than guys

[manic torrent]

(I've been married for 18 years, once)

[sweet jetty]

LMFAO 😭

[desert ivy]

You make her? What haha

[crystal pike]

I will switch over ti the public beta when it comes out
im telling you the moment im doine with installing the dev beta theyll release it so its coming very soon

[sweet jetty]

Fingers crossed

[crystal pike]

i have shit luck thats why

[gilded quest]

I was single for 18 years once

[sweet jetty]

😭

[manic torrent]

I have not had that experience

Also I have no concept of dating in the modern era.

[manic torrent]

She tells me I'm her favourite husband

[tardy terrace]

cringe /j (but cute)

[manic torrent]

but I'm not so sure.

[gilded quest]

Apps...

[sweet jetty]

😭

[crystal pike]

When i was running the beta versoin of ios 16, i got tired of waiting for a stable build so i decided to rollback, took me four times and when i was done, the next day they released a stable version. I was on the edge of bricking my phone lmao

[manic torrent]

I understand how dating apps work, I mean actually dating etc. It's horrifying.

[desert ivy]

I'm single now.

[manic torrent]

.... sooo, "being held accountable for the shit you say" is ruining dating.

[crystal pike]

i honestly dont know what it means

it soundewd funny in my head

[manic torrent]

please, tell me what else "cancel culture" means

[calm swan]

oh its fine ive been using it since day 1

[manic torrent]

.... you don't know what it means, but you sure don't believe in it! That sounds like some really sound reasoning by a totally rational person.

Starting to sound a lot like "I'm a bigoted asshole but I don't want to explicitly say it"

[tardy terrace]

[manic torrent]

you don't believe in being held accountable?

I don't understand the difference

[desert ivy]

The only reason Cancel Culture would affect dating is IMO if you are into one night stands. Like why would you get cancelled if you are into serious relationships. But that's my conservative take.

[tardy terrace]

just don't be a piece of shit and be your best in life

[manic torrent]

I think the failures here are in the first part.

[desert ivy]

But I might be wrong since I don't know how would one go into a one night stand. Seems like a Red Pill kinda thing

[terse lintel]

Iant getting canceled typically more about stuff youve said publicly?

[crystal pike]

guys there is a clicky button the left mouse button if i use that while pointing at a gif am i going to send 40 gifs per minute? (its an auto clicker, and no i dont use it in games because its cheating)

[desert ivy]

Or the Kang actor for beating her gf up. Disney is sweating bullets for the upcoming trial

[manic torrent]

I mean, as far as I'm concerned there is no difference. And if you think there is, please, explain and help me understand why "cancel culture" is bad

yeah it just sounds like you're a bigoted asshole with unpopular views

[terse lintel]

What kind of thermostats do yall have at home btw?

Working on a project rn and curious

[manic torrent]

custom one I made myself 🙂

[desert ivy]

I think with any movement it can get derailed. I personally dislike any movement meant to go against people livelihoods over unconfirmed mistakes on their past.

[terse lintel]

Ooh what thats super cool! Do u have links to any pics/documentation?

[manic torrent]

it's just using esphome, hangon

[desert ivy]

Sir, this is a Wendys

[manic torrent]

uhhhhh, whut?

[tardy terrace]

lmao the attempt at being high and mighty route

[crystal pike]

cool pfp

[tardy terrace]

If your political views include judging/belittling others, your views are wrong.

[manic torrent]

yeah that's not how tolerance works

[tardy terrace]

[manic torrent]

sorry no pics handy

ok I'm going to bed, you can have your shitty views without questioning now

[desert ivy]

The thing about views is that they are valid if they are personal. No one is sharing their opposing views to you because they are personal. So you don't get to claim yourself a victim after being called out for sharing your views on a tech channel.

[tardy terrace]

"valid if personal" I can think of at least 20 arguments where that's stupid

that is called "an opinion"

[desert ivy]

So what's invalid about having an opinion? Haha

[tardy terrace]

If your opinion includes being a dick to others, you are in the wrong.

[desert ivy]

Wouldn't that make your views not personal? And public instead?

[tardy terrace]

Personal views can be expressed in public, it still doesn't make them right.

[terse lintel]

Why are we fighting over this?

[desert ivy]

So people can be wrong about their opinions? Well of course if they are different than yours. 🤦🏾 I'm sure you think so

[tardy terrace]

You really, really don't wanna bring that part into this argument with me, one of us will end up banned.

also, 1 of 20 reasons.

[jaunty compass]

In other news
My cousin gave me $1600 roughly to build him a PC and I just finished ordering the parts

ooh, v nice, what's the part list?

Fuck yeah moral relativism.

oh hi bob

I should be in bed too

A pretty okay tower cooler
And one of those contact frames

[timid meadow]

Ill get there eventually

[jaunty compass]

I know I went a bit heavy on the GPU but it makes sense in this case

[tardy terrace]

contact frame for a non-oc cpu?..
uhhhhhhhh

[timid meadow]

Sounds solid

[jaunty compass]

It's just in case

[tardy terrace]

🤨

[jaunty compass]

It might not end up getting used

[tardy terrace]

oh, ok

[desert ivy]

I'm a 4070ti person but the 7900xt is great too.

[crystal pike]

intel and amd
if you did this few years ago ppl would judge u hard lol

[jaunty compass]

It depends on how the temps are without it if I use it or not

Total came out to $1660 after tax and shipping

[timid meadow]

Its only a couple degrees but at this point i feel the contact frames are just an extra $10 part you need for current gen hardware. Intel it helps a few degrees, amd helps a little less but you get the benefits of easier cleanup with amds weird design

[jaunty compass]

I'm keeping the free Intel screwdriver though

[crystal pike]

you paid the extra 60 right

[manic torrent]

The hilarious thing about this is that it's not just a shit opinion, it's objectively wrong.

[jaunty compass]

It was a flexible $1600 budget

He was fine if I spent a bit extra if I needed to

[elfin solar]

That is not what you should have learnt in school. Some race views are not okay. I am guessing yours are in this category.

[tardy terrace]

myself out here really fuckin' with the 2-gender agenda

[jaunty compass]

I went for Intel because it was a lot cheaper for the "5" class product once you take into account the price of board and RAM

[timid meadow]

Tolerance is a paradox. I love all but those who hate

[manic torrent]

Either it's biology or sociology, the good news is they both agree it's not a simple dichotomy

[manic torrent]

The paradox goes away when you realize it's a social contract and by breaking the contract you are no longer covered.

[jaunty compass]

I was originally going to go with an all-in-one liquid cooler but then I realized that I don't trust him at all to know if its dying

[timid meadow]

You know you can have 3 chromosomes right? Thus something beyond xx and xy

[sterile rivet]

how

[jaunty compass]

🤓

[sterile rivet]

No way, you did a face reveal?!?!

[desert ivy]

I personally disagree in the fluidity of gender. As the idea doesn't make sense to me. But I honestly don't see how it matters. Like the way I see it, there's a social movement going on and people are joining in.

[elfin solar]

What surprise you are one of them. Who saw this coming? Oh everyone.

[sweet jetty]

😭😭😭

[jaunty compass]

Yes

[timid meadow]

Its not even a gender its called down syndrome. But when people say that they are (almost always) thinking XX or XY and the existence of down syndrome alone disproves it. Much less any other studies. Just because your average male or female has one or the other doesnt mean that everyone will

[sterile rivet]

I thought that’s caused by incest tho 💀

[manic torrent]

Jesus fucking Christ. No.

[timid meadow]

Is someone born from incest not human? Hows that relevant even if it were true?

They would still be human, with a gender, that doesnt meet xx vs xy

[desert ivy]

The websites I've seen regarding that movement usually oppose the idea of using chromosomes to determine gender.

[sterile rivet]

incest ain’t right bro

[timid meadow]

Didnt say it was

[sweet jetty]

That's actually pretty freakin cool, great job!

[jaunty compass]

it also came with a free copy of re4 remake so that's nice

it was tough to squeeze into around the budget but i managed

[sterile rivet]

how do y’all cool your computers

[sweet jetty]

Yo yo bud, turn down the Andrew tate, jeez 😭

I know fs you don't take it as a joke :) but I'd rather not VC man, thanks for the offer tho

[sterile rivet]

wait I’m stupid, use group chat

I bet the moment he speaks to a woman he would crumble up and take back everything he said. Guaranteed

They are and if the opinion is complete shite everyone has the right to say so.

[jaunty compass]

In unrelated news this handheld is cool

[sterile rivet]

true

[sweet jetty]

Oh no, I got e-threatened 😭

[sterile rivet]

there should be limits on it tho

[timid meadow]

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, most of em stink. So dont show me yours

[sterile rivet]

like take for example the Portal 2 community edition discord server

[elfin solar]

Why is that?

[sterile rivet]

@hallow flume can you shouldn’t

[desert ivy]

We got a badass over here hahaha

[sterile rivet]

in the portal 2 community edition discord if you don’t praise 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ like god you get banned instantly

[sweet jetty]

I've been on here long enough to be safe enough to avoid that :) thanks for the heads up tho bro 🥰

[sterile rivet]

I ain’t joking around they are actually like this

[junior tide]

being reckless on the internet is despite common belief can be very very dangerous yes

[sweet jetty]

Im glad to hear!

[sterile rivet]

@twin solstice get out here and stop lurking

[desert ivy]

And the way you avoid that is joining VC with deranged individuals

[elfin solar]

You posted so much crap I didn’t ready it all. You are on a group chat anyone can respond.

[junior tide]

no you go in there and turn it into xbox lobby

[sterile rivet]

@twin solstice are you scared or something

get over here, I want to know why the p2CE discord is trash

[sweet jetty]

😭 you good bro?

[sterile rivet]

yea

[twin solstice]

Scared of a whiney child that cries over violating rules? Lmfao.

[sweet jetty]

Was just making sure

[jaunty compass]

what handheld should i buy next

I'm thinking maybe an ayn odin

[sweet jetty]

Oh, the Odin looks super awesome, I saw a mini review on it

[sterile rivet]

blud I didn’t violate no rules in there, they told me to put pronouns in my name and I said “no I don’t want to” so they banned me

[twin solstice]

Cry.

[sterile rivet]

What if I don’t

whatever happened to EQUALITY

[jaunty compass]

i'm just not sure what i'd do with an odin if i got one
obviously i'd emulate on it

[twin solstice]

I don't give a shit, you're crying over nothing and lying through your teeth. Turn off the fucking ping when you reply.

[sterile rivet]

what is blud smoking💀💀

[jaunty compass]

but like what would i actually do with an odin? i don't know if it can emulate switch or not and i haven't looked into it

[elfin solar]

In relation to what?

[jaunty compass]

I guess i could port some games to it but it just runs android
i wonder if there's a linux distro for it

[sterile rivet]

in relation to 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (can’t actually say the acronym because @hallow flume deletes my message)

[elfin solar]

Yes they want equality. Glad you agree.

[sterile rivet]

I want equality not role reversal

yeah you got shit on in the past but if you shit on us then you aren’t any better

[elfin solar]

Who is shitting on you?

[sterile rivet]

@twin solstice (sorry for ping)

[twin solstice]

Quit fucking pinging me shitheel.

[sterile rivet]

I said sorry goddamn

[twin solstice]

You can type my name without the at, no excuses.

[sterile rivet]

why are you so aggressive

block me if I’m that annoying

[twin solstice]

Zero tolerance for pricks.

But you've got shit takes, and it's far easier to mock your shitty takes when they're easy to screenshot.

[elfin solar]

No clue what started this as it looks to be long before the current posts above

Keep in mind it’s a discord channel and ultimately meaningless.

[sterile rivet]

yea

[calm swan]

damn

[sterile rivet]

I wasn’t exaggerating with it at all

[calm swan]

they actually ban you?

[sterile rivet]

yeah

go to any other portal 2 discord and they will say it’s shit

[tardy terrace]

Holy shit

I leave for like, 10 minutes

[sterile rivet]

chaos mode activated

[sharp cradle]

just be nice to everyone

[fluid pewter]

anyone know what forum software ltt forum uses? It's really nice

[crude jasper]

most likely custom

[sharp cradle]

wym by software

like to host it? to make it?

[tardy terrace]

innit homebrew after the shift from the last platform?

[terse lintel]

Haha same lol, is it still chaos?

[tardy terrace]

Thankfully, no

[terse lintel]

R u thinking floatplane?

[tardy terrace]

[brazen edge]

People ,do someone know the tag of real Linus ?

[tardy terrace]

[sweet jetty]

[brazen edge]

i need some help from him

[tardy terrace]

[sharp cradle]

i doubt you do lol

[sterile rivet]

what happens if we do

[terse lintel]

I know LTT uses an open source asset tracking system so maybe the forum is modified based on FOSS?

[sweet jetty]

Uhh, I don't think he's gonna help anyone on his discord lol

[sharp cradle]

ban, instant

[sterile rivet]

Real

[dull granite]

no

[sharp cradle]

yes

[brazen edge]

i messaged him on mail 12 of jun and i still didn't get respond

[dull granite]

or yes but

[tardy terrace]

Do better, microsoft. This is pathetic.

[sterile rivet]

Bro he AINT gonna help you he’s far too busy with other things

[dull granite]

dumb

[terse lintel]

SnipeIT for anyone curious

[sharp cradle]

unless you are doing something crazy, i doubt he'll respond to you

someone here could potentially help you

[ionic abyss]

How can Microsoft do better without stealing your info

[sterile rivet]

only way for him to respond is if you have something that he wants for a video

[brazen edge]

you know that last ch ,he used my idea

[tired glade]

Just been good

[sterile rivet]

Real

[pliant karma]

welcome to asobo's servers

[sharp cradle]

[pliant karma]

@tardy terrace are you updating FS2020 or downloading the sim?

[brazen edge]

GameLinked ch ,but i didn't mean on that when i messaged him

[tardy terrace]

downloading world updates, initial download capped at about 60mb/s, I have 160/20

[tired glade]

Do they need to when they have big chunk of market?

[sharp cradle]

hm

[ionic abyss]

They have to r rease updates to windows that turn back on telemetry in the background you keep turning it off

[pliant karma]

ah ok heads up everytime they release a world or sim update each month the servers take a shit for a while before the recover cause of the onslaught of people hammering it.

[ionic abyss]

Release*

[pliant karma]

which also affects the multiplayer servers

[dim forge]

Twitter rate limited itself lmfao

[sharp cradle]

eh just give them all your data

[tardy terrace]

Makes sense, good thing I work today! only 18gb for all the updoots, should be done by the time I gget back. btw is data streaming or local world cache better

[dim forge]

[full fossil]

[ashen zodiac]

retiring my pc since it heats up my appartment too much, just got done doing a fresh windows 10 install on my laptop

[full fossil]

how do you not corrupt your windows

[ashen zodiac]

huh?

[full fossil]

how do you not corrupt windows

[ashen zodiac]

the old install on my laptop was fine, i just wanted to swap ssd's for more storage since i'm gonna rely on it as main machine all summer

[full fossil]

i do silly stuff to my laptop

[sweet jetty]

Use it in winters ez

[terse lintel]

Simply dont use windows - idk u may need to be more specific

[rough birch]

By not using it at all. Only 100% way of not doing something wrong

[sweet jetty]

Trust me, I've been asking that question to myself for years now

[full fossil]

but im used to windows

[ashen zodiac]

I do. But it’s summer where I live

[full fossil]

#relatable 💯

[sweet jetty]

I meant when it's winters again lol

[rough birch]

Or just use a extremely limited version of it.

[sweet jetty]

I switched to a stripped down version of win 10 now and it somehow bluecreeens a lot less

[full fossil]

i did try that

i got everything ready

still didn't worked

[sweet jetty]

Huh

[rough birch]

Tbh I still don't know how my laptop blue screened from plugging an HDMI cable into a tv

[sweet jetty]

Maybe get a new drive?

[rough birch]

It was most up to date but it was just allergic or something.

[full fossil]

i've been using windows 11 on my laptop and its still running smoothly

[sweet jetty]

That's nice

[full fossil]

my laptop don't even support it tho

still giving me daily update :3

[ashen zodiac]

windows 10 is so much more stable than 11

[full fossil]

i told myself to stay at windows 10 but my old laptop died so i might as well upgrade

it was a pain in the ass

[sweet jetty]

You switched off the tpm thing from the registry, right?

[full fossil]

nuh uh

[tardy terrace]

I haven't had any issue w/ Win11 on my device, some weird quirks after doing a 10>11 updoot, but after reinstalling fresh everything's working great

[full fossil]

they just gave up and let me install and gave me a warning when i download the iso

[ashen zodiac]

idk but on my 7700HQ/1060/16GB ram laptop it's noticably slower

[tardy terrace]

weirdt

[ashen zodiac]

ya cuz my laptop is not exactly slow

it's aging sure but it's still a quad i7 with a 1060

[sweet jetty]

? What

[full fossil]

thats way better than my laptop

[ionic abyss]

What is a good cheap 64gb ddr4 kit

[ashen zodiac]

get rekt

[sweet jetty]

Uh, dude you defo disabled the tpm thing if you don't have a tpm 😭 it doesn't allow to install otherwise

[full fossil]

well it did

didn't went to register once the whole time

[ionic abyss]

You can bypass tpm req on windohs 11

[sweet jetty]

Were you using a custom iso?

[full fossil]

nuh uh i used the media creation tool i think

[ionic abyss]

It's all in settings

[sweet jetty]

Wait, does your laptop have a tpm?

[full fossil]

nope

[sweet jetty]

What 💀

[full fossil]

it just gave up i guess

[finite cloud]

You either bugged your computer or you actually do have one

[full fossil]

#screenshots

[sweet jetty]

That's not how softwares work- 😭

[full fossil]

well it worked :3

i get 15 fps in windows 10 and i get 60 fps in windows 11

in minecraft

[tardy terrace]

your old install was probably fucked lmao

[full fossil]

the first one was a windows 8 and i upgrade it to 10 and then 11

[tardy terrace]

and thats why.

[full fossil]

my brother laptop was on 8 too so i did just that but he only wanted 10 bc he likes it more

[ionic abyss]

So I assume I need a set of rbg ram ddr4 4200 64gb right what's a low cost kit

[full fossil]

holy shit just realizeits me birthday

[ashen zodiac]

your laptop sucks. why would you install 11 on that? it runs bad enough as it is i'm guessing

[full fossil]

low cost????? 😭

[full fossil]

it runs smooth

[ashen zodiac]

whatever meets those specs and is cheapest lmao

[ashen zodiac]

[ionic abyss]

Lol

I have 32gb of ddr4 3666 ram now

[eternal arch]

is there any chat for laptop suggestions

[finite cloud]

Any of the tech chats

[full fossil]

at least it run smooth for me and not you guys with 5 billion fps and 3924873824 hz monitor

[ashen zodiac]

lol. my laptop is 6 years old but i'm guessing at least 3x as fast as yours

120hz screen too

@full fossil btw my other laptop is a 2015 macbook pro which is a lot closer to yours, dualcore i5, 8gb of ram. but that runs macOS so...

[full fossil]

its cheap and gets at least 30 fps in games thats good enough for me

[eternal arch]

thanks mate
