No soliciting/asking for money, read the rules

[late tusk]

Sorry

[sweet jetty]

Yo uta chill out dude

[late tusk]

Must've missed that part

[sweet jetty]

Jeez man

[lucid echo]

What are they up to now

[sweet jetty]

It's okay, just keep it in mind next time

[sweet jetty]

Uhhh it's mega nsfw in context 😭

But their message got autodeleted

[desert ivy]

That's close to deadly. Probably abobe the wet-bulb temperature limits.

[sweet jetty]

Lmao, tell me about it

My daily runs are really hard to endure atm 😭

[desert ivy]

Look at this chart. It's really dangerous. https://arielschecklist.com/wbgt-chart/

I hate running at night though. So yeah I'm on the same boat.

Well not exactly the same a slightly cooler boat

[low rain]

Idek I js woke up and my whole body was sore

[vapid smelt]

Why should the Utah Transit Authority chill out?

[sharp cradle]

What kinda backpacks do y'all use

[vapid smelt]

The one I got 18 years ago for school

[pliant karma]

forgot the name but some camera backpack I've used for the past 2.5 years

[vapid smelt]

Ngl I had a dream last night that ltt gave out free ltt backpacks at our 4th of July parade

[sweet jetty]

I like running in the morning more because less people lmao, but walks at night>>>

[sweet jetty]

Jeez man, take care

[desert ivy]

Fjallraven. Beautiful backpacks and waterproof

[sweet jetty]

😭 not the Utah Transit Authority making nsfw comments 😭

[sweet jetty]

Funnily enough, I actually found someone else using the bagpack I have now and just went like "I WANT", google lensed it and been using it for past 2 years and it still looks brand new, plus it's made of leather so it's just beautiful

[desert ivy]

Specifically the Ulvo 30 or 23.

[sweet jetty]

... interesting dreams 😭

[desert ivy]

What's the model/brand

[sweet jetty]

Oh, I doubt they'll exist anywhere outside here lol, it's a fairly local brand

[gilded quest]

is this real

[desert ivy]

I see I was in the market for a travel backpack recently and decided for the Ulvo 23. It's probably one of the highest quality backpacks I've seen. Although very small.

[vapid smelt]

Lmao yes

[gilded quest]

that is amazing

[sweet jetty]

We live in a society, a 37.4 inch sandwich isn't suspicious but a 37.4 inch 40mm RPG is...

[sweet jetty]

Oh, mine is just 20l lol, I don't need to fit in a lot in my bag usually, it's for uni

[desert ivy]

This is unconstitutional!!! open carry laws? 😛

[sweet jetty]

I have a travel bag I've used forever tho, im not sure what's the brand but it's literally generational at this point 💀

[ionic abyss]

OK I saw a Chinese gaming monitor for $24 supposed to be 244hz and sub 3ms on a Amazon coupon site should I try it

[pliant pumice]

suslicious

[sweet jetty]

I mean, I doubt it's gonna be that, but if you have space 24 dollars and time, sure ig

[ionic abyss]

I'm really looking at a 27 pr 32" curved monitor

[desert ivy]

It's my issue with the LTT backpack. It's the size of luggage, priced like a popular brand, and it's design is purely utilitarian, which usually would mean a price reduction.

[vapid smelt]

Here in Utah you can open carry without a license if it's at least 3? Stages away from being able to fire

[ionic abyss]

So I could carry my 500 magnum then in utah

[vapid smelt]

If your over 18 yup

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, 24 dollars budget is a little low bud 😭

[desert ivy]

So, it should be unloaded with the safety on?

[vapid smelt]

Pretty much yeah

[elfin solar]

Amazes me that people spend their lives been that scared.

[sweet jetty]

I mean, you're playing for the brand name too, clearly, can't really do much here 😭

[vapid smelt]

I just carry a knife way more practical

[ionic abyss]

I still have a 2bore nitro express but I doubt that can be open carried nor would I want to lug a 45lb double riffle around

[vapid smelt]

Difficult to open boxes with a firearm

[sweet jetty]

Not impossible tho

[ionic abyss]

That 2bore put me out of work for a few months and I won't shoot it after the recoil cracked my shoulder

[vapid smelt]

Officer I was just trying to open the evil plastic clamshell packaging!

[vapid smelt]

Cracked?!

[ionic abyss]

Hair line fractures

[desert ivy]

Yeah and the issues with the backpack of having faulty zipper thingies goes to show why a new company charging established brand prices is just meh. But not a big deal.

[vapid smelt]

Need more muscle there like ytber Kentucky ballistic

[desert ivy]

Where do you live haha. Sometimes being scared it's the appropriate response.

[elfin solar]

Kentucky Ballistics would be shaking his head 😁

[ionic abyss]

Well I fired the nitro express round wich is a 8oz projectile at around 2400-2600fps

So lots of recoil

[vapid smelt]

Or get a shooting jacket like Paul Harrell that has extra shoulder padding

[low rain]

I js took a hot shower and I feel a lil better

[ionic abyss]

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-biggest-bullet-ever-made-and-what-kind-of-damage-can-it-do#&gid=1&pid=1

2 bore vs 4570

[stray apex]

probably some railway artillery shell

[vapid smelt]

Made for bigfoot?

[sweet jetty]

Ayyy W

[stray apex]

36 inch shell

[elfin solar]

Kentucky Ballistics (YouTube) shoots some insane calibres. Aside from his .50 nearly killing him he seems to enjoy it.

[elfin solar]

Banana for scale?

[stray apex]

31 inch shell, largest actually used

[vapid smelt]

The German railroad gun shell?

[stray apex]

yeah

[elfin solar]

Seen this picture before. Fricken insane.

[ionic abyss]

If you shoot something with a 2 bore and it gets up run

[low rain]

I might go somewhere to get a massage

[vapid smelt]

Let's make a gun that needs nearly 3k people to build and man

[stray apex]

3 days to build lol

[elfin solar]

Luckily they had the same mentality with tanks.

[stray apex]

that doesn't even include propellant charges

[vapid smelt]

I wish we had a full list of what drugs H was on

[stray apex]

16" shell with propellant

[ionic abyss]

Don't everyone need a box of 2 bore tungsten nitro express rounds rated to penitrate 280mm oc composition armour

[vapid smelt]

I like my shoulder

And wallet

[ionic abyss]

So what the rounds cost 500 each

[elfin solar]

Old school would be Mons Meg At Edinburgh castle

[low rain]

The average banana size is more than 7 inches but less than 8 inches so imma use 7.5 inches. Now imma do 36/7.5 which is 4.8 bananas meaning it’s roughly 4.8 bananas long.

[vapid smelt]

Only the most practical of tanks

Shit enemy Sherman behind us! Don't worry we will just turn the whole tank 180 degrees

[low rain]

I ate an otter pop

[mint abyss]

Is 1440p + 240hz combo still considered premium in the next 2-3 years? Will they ever drop in price?

[crystal willow]

bruh i finnaly have 8 gigs of ram 💀

[tired glade]

What's premium?

[stray apex]

assault guns were great

[mint abyss]

For me, high price = premium, sub $300 is for normal consumers

[tired glade]

1440p monitor isn't 8k monitor

[stray apex]

ferdinand is bad for other reasons
mostly that the base is terrible

[crystal willow]

whats the best 15 dollar mouse i can get off amazon

[tired glade]

Is that even a tank? Or anti tank vehicle?

[tired glade]

240hz 1440p monitors will drop below 300$ in next few years+ inflation

[desert ivy]

300 is not premium nor a high price in monitors. AFAIK premium monitors are over 1 thousand dollars and there's a huge market and variety of them

[tired glade]

Plus oled already in that price category

[desert ivy]

There's more to monitors than mere stats, like picture quality. So there's that too

[tired glade]

240hz that's primary gaming monitor

[crystal willow]

I literally cant tell between 1080p and 720p

[desert ivy]

The human eye can't see above 24fps either too.

[vapid smelt]

Go see an eye doctor

[mint abyss]

I've been using a GTX 970 for 8 years and recently upgraded to a 3060, I only play esports titles and only want high refresh rate, but I also want the 1440p pixel density. What's the best monitor(s) I should consider? In Canada.

[crystal willow]

budget?

[desert ivy]

Can you run 240fps?

[mint abyss]

I'm thinking $300 but that might be impossible for 1440p category so I actually don't know, this is probably a situation that I set a goal and work towards it

I can run 360 fps or higher, no issue.

[full fossil]

guys i cyber sec discussion allowed here?

[desert ivy]

But at 1080p?

[crystal willow]

yeah thats imposible

[desert ivy]

Everything is tolerated here in this supposedly tech chat hahaha

[crystal willow]

Depends on what you classify cyber sec as

[crystal willow]

thay are mostly in the 500 to 1000 range

My next purchase won't be 1080p, I'm using a 1080p right now, I can see the pixels, looking for a higher resolution.

[full fossil]

just wanna know the best wifi adapters that support packet injection that dont cost 100$

[dusty rune]

bit over 300$

[gilded quest]

Gigglebyte

[vapid smelt]

Others are 5 ms va

[mint abyss]

I guess that's not bad for 144hz. Hope there are 240hz monitors on sale during the prime event haha

[vapid smelt]

Is your monitor 27inches 1080p?

[mint abyss]

23.6in

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/Ltxbt6/acer-xv272u-xbmiipruzx-270-2560x1440-240-hz-monitor-umhx2aax03 doubt they will go 50% off

[polar hare]

is there a specific schedule of videos on ltt? I can't understand the schedule of when they post

[stiff rapids]

Is Floatplane supposed to automatically play the latest LTT video when opened? It does that for me on iPad

[fierce moth]

What's up everyone

[tired glade]

No video today?

[crude jasper]

it was an effective weapon

it shot sum ~30 miles

[crystal willow]

bro i can open soo many chrome tabs with 8gb of ram!!!!

[desert ivy]

You can open infinite tabs in Chrome. Doesn't mean that they are all on RAM

[crystal willow]

I mean use them simultaneously

[desert ivy]

In low RAM systems tabs get stored in disk or discarded. So no they are not really simultaneous. It's not the same as if you had more RAM.

[sweet jetty]

It's possible, but extremely slow, and that's what eventually crashes it

[crystal willow]

virtual ram

What if your ram is faster than your ssd

[warm meteor]

Can the 4090 output 4k 240hz

[verbal briar]

Did yall know Lisa Su and Jenson are cousins

[crystal willow]

its a 4090 what do you think it will do 💀

[warm meteor]

yes or no?

[crystal willow]

its a 4090 why would 4k 240hz monitor be created if there isnt a card to use on it
​

[fossil frost]

because those 2 different products are not designed and built and specified by the same team, or company, and they generally dont speak to each other too

the only things they know for certain about each other, is the specifications that they each require to implement (like DP or HDMI) to ensure they work together

[velvet marsh]

Output yes. Will you get it in most games,probably not at high settings.

[fossil frost]

other than that, they are independent products that were developed away from each other

[warm meteor]

I dont need high settings, thanks :)

[velvet marsh]

What game?

[warm meteor]

just a general question

i get my 4090 in a few days, now i need a monitor for it xD

[pliant karma]

morning bubzyz

[warm meteor]

4k for tripple a in high settings, and dthe 240hz for FPS in high settings too

[velvet marsh]

I mean I’d say go with like the 1440p 240hz Oled.

[warm meteor]

i mean FPS games dont really need much power

[velvet marsh]

I mean if you’re playing like VALORANT. Sure you’ll be fine.

[pliant karma]

Bubzyz you play forza? 👀

[velvet marsh]

Sometimes yeah lol

[warm meteor]

yes.. but no. i thinked about it yesterday, rn i have a wqhd 165hz and i want a upgrade, you dont really feel the different between 165hz and 240hz

hope you understand, my english is not the best

[velvet marsh]

Oled will be a bigger difference than anything else.

[pliant karma]

ah nice lol I got the GT40 Mark II with my free car voucher out of all the cars I wanted that one but is fun to drive and be Ken Miles

[warm meteor]

Oled is nice but it has too many problems i heard

[sweet jetty]

I mean, except burn in, it's a bit better than led, if anything

The colours are much richer

[tired glade]

Depends which gen you heard about

[warm meteor]

im interested in Mini Led

[desert ivy]

That's just bad logic on an unnecessary snarky comment.

[warm meteor]

LG too dark and hdr problem, alienware has coil whine and input delay, samsung hdr problem and too dark. Thats what i heard

[tired glade]

You know there are only 3 manufacturer of oled on planet and you heard only about 2 and about very old products

[desert ivy]

What's your budget?

[tired glade]

Sub 300 the budget

[rain linden]

Try Xiaomi one? My friend got it and it's pretty good

Can't say anything about pixel response time but it looks nice and the colors are good

[tired glade]

Early oled monitors had problems with that, in 2019-20

[desert ivy]

At that budget just get the better deal. It's literally the same IMO.

[tired glade]

Tell him that

[warm meteor]

ill buy oled in 2 years

[tired glade]

Miniled is way too close and that doesn't has burn outs

[warm meteor]

i dont want to be an early adopter

[warm meteor]

yes

but there are too few mini led monitor

[crystal pike]

I’m going to try and run fh4 demo on my 4200u

[warm meteor]

aoc got one but 900 euros

[desert ivy]

Nah. It's not way too close. Especially with bad dimming algorithms.

[sage quiver]

[tired glade]

They already on market,let see if Samsung will push them like they did with Oled

Especially when Sony just jump on Oled for mainstream series, even those they had oled device since mid 2008

[edgy moss]

My laptop has 8gb of soldered RAM. Whenever RAM fills up, it spills over to the SSD. If I wanted to “get more RAM” would getting a much faster SSD be the best way to increase performance?

Something with a big DRAM cache and better IOPS performance

[woven pewter]

Ummm.....

[edgy moss]

Mods when someone wants to send 2 messages in 9 seconds vs mods now

[fossil frost]

no, "get more ram" would be finding out how many SODIM slots your laptop has, and then if there is a slot free, get another 8gb sodimm ram stick of the same speed/timing, and that would double your ram

[median idol]

Trolls be trolling

[full fossil]

💀

[wind pulsar]

Though I would gladly like to know how well a super fast SSD would fare as RAM

[fossil frost]

order of magnitude slower, at least

[ionic abyss]

yes

[edgy moss]

It’s soldered

I don’t really ever game but I think it would help

[ionic abyss]

much slower 5-6 times slower is ssd than tam

[edgy moss]

Yeah

[ionic abyss]

ram*

[fossil frost]

even when you have 8gb soldered, you usually still have a single sodim slot on the board, you sure that isnt there?

[wind pulsar]

Yes, but sometimes laptops have a second normal slot

[full fossil]

yall know how to use my phone as a mic

[fossil frost]

my laptop has 8gb soldered, and then a SODIMM slot too... so i stuck a 16gb stick in there for 24gb of ram 😄

[edgy moss]

I wouldn’t think so. It’s dual channel DDR5, and Intel says the cpu only supports 2 channels

[ionic abyss]

the ddr5 ram drive is king of storage provided you can find one and afford to populate it with 1-2tb of ddr5

[edgy moss]

So I would guess that both of those channels are taken up by ram

[fossil frost]

doesnt mean both those channels are used, manufacturer might have only used 1 channel, especially with it being 8gb only and not 16

[edgy moss]

Damn the Samsung 990 Pro 1tb is selling for 70 dollars

[edgy moss]

hp says it’s dual channel

[wind pulsar]

I mean yes, I know it'd be slower
But idk when that was tested if ever, I'd wonder if Gen 5 speeds would make up for it

[fossil frost]

gen5 ssd running at its max theoretical speed, is still 10x slower than the ddr5 that would be on a gen5 machine

[fossil frost]

means nothing, they are just vommiting up what intel tells them to put on there, only way to know is to pull the bottom off and look

[edgy moss]

Yeah but I’m thinking that a really good ssd would be able to make up a little bit of performance compared to a factory SSD

[fossil frost]

depends on what the factory ssd is

[edgy moss]

I’ll have to look in a bit. Thanks!

[edgy moss]

Some 256gb kioxia drive

[ionic abyss]

but when you factor in the $3000-6000 ddr5 ramdrive board and the 1-2 tb of ddr5 its not a cheap thing

[fossil frost]

again, depends what it is, the model number specifically.. and what connector its using.. SATA or NVME, and if its NVME is it gen4x4

[edgy moss]

Yeah unfortunately my laptop only supports PCIE 4

[ionic abyss]

then you will see only 30-40gb of bandwith max over a 16x slot

30 is more likely than 40

[edgy moss]

Thunderbolt 4 raid lol

[fossil frost]

and all drives will only run over 4x, not 16x, so you are looking at 1/4 of that bandwidth at best

[ionic abyss]

and then you will be fully saturating the pcie 16x slot

well ddr5 ram drive boards do use 16x

4x the slot would bottleneck the ram drive

[fossil frost]

would also only be useful in a desktop, laptop wont run that

no mobile chip will have the pci-e lanes required to run a 16x slot, let alone expose that to be a slot

[edgy moss]

My laptop cpu supposedly has a max of 20 Pcie lanes

[ionic abyss]

well with a price in excess of $12000 for a fully populated ddr5 ram drive its not exactly something most consumers can afford or make full use of

[fossil frost]

4x to the nvme slot, 8x minimum to the dma chip (the chipset), if it has a soldered gpu, then 8x to that.. and thats your limit... and then the chipset will expose its own pci-e lanes to usb and other stuff

[ionic abyss]

the ram drive needs a task suited to it

random access times in the sub milisecond range though

[edgy moss]

There are 2 thunderbolt 4 ports as well

I guess those would be from the chipset

[fossil frost]

likely 1 will share some bandwidth/lanes with something else, and 1 will come from the chipset, or, both will come from the chipset

[edgy moss]

My best bet to increase performance would be an external GPU to free up some ram

[fossil frost]

your best bet would be to see if there is a sodimm slot and if there is, shove a stick of ram in there

[ionic abyss]

os overhead pcie bandwith limits all technicaly bottle necik a ddr5 ram drive

[fossil frost]

your best-best bet, is to throw the laptop into the bin, and buy a desktop 😄

[edgy moss]

I still will get a 1tb 990 pro because I want more storage anymore

[edgy moss]

I already have a desktop lol. R5 3600, 32gb of 3600mhz, and a 6750xt

[ionic abyss]

i have a wd black 1tb ssd and a 6tb hdd and a 8tb hdd

hdd are bulk storage

[fossil frost]

almost the same machine as me... r9 5950, 32gb of 3800mhz and a 6750xt 🙂

[dull granite]

you can get a great PC deal by refurbishing old office PCs into gaming rigs with simple upgrades

[edgy moss]

I got the 6750xt instead of the 6700xt because it looked cooler

[dull granite]

based

[fossil frost]

thats my NAS 🙂 £50 office PC from ebay... that has 8x sata ports and 8x 3.5" slots... and then a bunch of new NAS SATA drives 🙂

[edgy moss]

Yeah lol I’ve done this many times

[dull granite]

also RAM is cheap

at least ddr4

[fierce moth]

This, unfortunately my server is relying on powered usb to sata converters cause my server is a repurposed thin client

[edgy moss]

#off-topic to see my latest frankenplex

[dull granite]

does dell still make optiplexes?

[edgy moss]

Yes

[fossil frost]

yeah, loads of them

[dull granite]

are they good?

[fierce moth]

But then again, my hard drive won't exceed the usb 3 spec

[fossil frost]

practically all schools in the uk run them

[dull granite]

from what i heard, old optiplexes were good for some reason

[ionic abyss]

and iif you dont understand i speak of a dedicaded board that has a custom controller that uses ram as a ssd not system ram

[edgy moss]

I have 4 optiplexes

Well 3 optiplexes and 1 hp elite desk

[ionic abyss]

not somthing common

[dull granite]

they might be slow, but they're literally immortal

[fossil frost]

they are "not shit", and are cheap, because offices that have them, and replace them, just want to get rid of them, as its expensive to store them

[ionic abyss]

they need a battery backup to prevent power of data loss

[edgy moss]

1 is a server, the second is my girlfriends pc now, the other 2 are sitting in my closet

[ionic abyss]

optiplex the garbage pc

[dull granite]

no

[rapid forge]

Anybody have a recommendation for an external HHD reader? I found a really old drive and have no idea what state it's in, but want to check out what's on it

[ionic abyss]

trust me optiplex is junk

[fossil frost]

literally any data to usb cable will be fine

[dull granite]

but i guess it's all propertiaty and non standard?

[edgy moss]

I probably own more optiplexes than you own total computers. This is BS

[fossil frost]

motherboard is yes

[dull granite]

so you can't move it to a better case bruh

[ionic abyss]

unless you want a hdd upgrade optiplex is mostly junk

[fierce moth]

Complete bs

[ionic abyss]

next to no upgrade path for a optiplex pc

[edgy moss]

I turned a 70 dollar optiplex into a budget gaming champ by putting a 6700k and a 1650 super into it

[dull granite]

nuh-uh-uh

[fossil frost]

ive upgraded cpu, ram, hdds and gpu and added other pci-e cards...

[fierce moth]

A old optiplex is very powerful with a Linux install

[edgy moss]

I use a micro optiplex to run a media and Minecraft server. Works great.

[ionic abyss]

ill give optiplex credit for a linux rig

[dull granite]

[fierce moth]

[edgy moss]

Yeah. The tiny ones.

[ionic abyss]

amd is the best current server cpu maker

[fossil frost]

yay for making blanket statements about things you dont understand...

[fierce moth]

Okay, but do you think most of us have the capital to get an modern amd server?

[ionic abyss]

unless its somthing special amd is more cost effective for many servers

[dull granite]

NVIDIA is one of GPU manufacturers

Intel owns most of desktop PC process market share

[ionic abyss]

yes

amd is slowly catching up

[fierce moth]

Plus you don't even need a modern amd server if you're just running plex and storage

[dull granite]

SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung make most of NAND Flash

[ionic abyss]

my old lte router has a 2.5" bay and built in plex server

[dull granite]

Samsung makes SSDs

[edgy moss]

I love my optiplex for Jellyfin

[storm swan]

Are sk hynix ssds good?

[fossil frost]

you are arguing with what i suspect is a bot.. they are just vomiting out stuff that can be C+P from chatgpt, with no additional info, and are not responding to anything that anybody says. literally just vomiting up tech diarrhoea

[edgy moss]

Intel Quicksync and external drives lol

Kinda seems suspicious considering the sub par performance of 4060

[inland spindle]

Speaking of thinkservers...

What are yall's opinions of the Thinkphone?

[past egret]

fuck my ram kits heat sink is too big for my pc

[desert ivy]

Didn't even know about it. I'll read a review. But seeing the price of 700 dollars I already know it's not going to beat the Pixel 7 and Pro

Ok it's looking like a great value phone. I don't think I would get it over the Pixel since I doubt the camera is as good but still pretty phone

[dusty rune]

i want a pixel 7 to replace my S10

[inland spindle]

I bought the A52s in september 2021 and uh i wouldn't say i screwed up and didn't wait for the a54... But coming from some Huawei with a pop up camera i felt i actually bought a good pgone

Never seen anyone own a pixel before

[dusty rune]

neither have i

i live in a samsung and apple household

[desert ivy]

The s23 ultra 1200usd dollar price tag doesn't make any sense against the phones coming out at 700 USD range like the Thinkphone or the Pixel 7 Pro at it's 900 MSRP.

[dusty rune]

i found a 7 for 350$ used

[inland spindle]

My mom would have killed me if i bought an IPhone on god 😆

[desert ivy]

I bought my 7Pro for 600 in like new status. Renewed at Amazon. Around 2 months ago

[dusty rune]

has some sort of bug that i dont know what it means

if i buy ill ask in detail

[inland spindle]

You mean refurbished?

[dusty rune]

with warranty and stuff

[inland spindle]

Or really new

[desert ivy]

Yeah. Sorry. My Amazon it's in Spanish.

[dusty rune]

its from a local gsm

[inland spindle]

Its okay 😁

[desert ivy]

It was a super good deal as everything was working great. Not a single scratch.I wonder if they are just returns where people lost the box and they just sell them back at a discount

[inland spindle]

Imma turn to Flossy Carter for tech reviews he's a real dude 👍

[desert ivy]

Either way, with Amazon I think there's 0 risk as you can just return it if theres something wrong with it. I wouldn't do it with older phones where the battery might be in subpar condition but for last year or recent phones worked all right for me.

[inland spindle]

Idk about in other countries but i could get a phone without getting a damn expensive phone plan

Or any at all

[desert ivy]

Why? Can't you just buy the phone?

[inland spindle]

I didn't buy my A52s from a service operator

You know like from At&t, Verizon...

[desert ivy]

Yeah I know but Apple sells their phones unlocked. And I've been seen a Huawei and Xiaomi stores here in Mexico

[inland spindle]

There are some tech stores that sell phones that sell any phone unlocked and without a service plan. Saving me some serious cash

[inland spindle]

Idk my friends that are somewhat tech savvy are freaking out over Xiaomi

"Best price to quality ratio" something like that

[desert ivy]

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has some serious specs. Great flagship

[inland spindle]

I personally hate chinese brands... Im skeptical about the chinese government spying on me and uh... China has some serious issues.

[amber cairn]

It's either big china or big google/apple poking at your stuff at the end of the day

[desert ivy]

It's a huge Shame that most of phone photography is done on software because otherwise the Xiaomi 13 Ultra would be competitive.

[amber cairn]

Apparently there was a ruling here in the EU that google analytics violates GDPR so companies here are going to be forced to not use it for privacy reasons

[inland spindle]

Im allowed to curse but not say sheep people

But in short form

[amber cairn]

We cannot offend the Welch population

[inland spindle]

Speaking of EU... i hope it disbands

Along with Schwab and every one of those globalists

[dusty rune]

what

how is the EU an issue

[amber cairn]

EU is bringing back swappable batteries, you better send a thank you letter later

[inland spindle]

To my understanding EU has some regulations that to my people's standards are just awful

[dusty rune]

like

a few examples

then ill leave you alone

[inland spindle]

Not being able to produce our own products...

[dusty rune]

since when what

[amber cairn]

I mean I do get it from a macro-perspective when they decide things it can mess with local economies a lot. The internal micromanaging of produce is bad

[inland spindle]

Well it slowly is coming to fruition

[dusty rune]

then produce where lol

[inland spindle]

Now they are lying about some pig virus and started euthanizing pigs, cows are almost gone i think.

[amber cairn]

Oh that's actually a thing they decide the amount you can produce of each thing like dairy, grains etc at the EU level so they more or less decide who's the biggest exporter and make other countries in the union have to import let's say romanian grains and not use your own land to stimulate the EU trade economy

[inland spindle]

Yeah that

[dusty rune]

oh huh

[amber cairn]

It's a bit... interesting but it's all there in plain sight they don't hide it.

[dusty rune]

well ill take it back

[amber cairn]

No-one reads the meeting protocols lol

[dusty rune]

i dont think hoping it disbands is the right way to think about it though

[inland spindle]

Italy banned foods from the lab, while Serbia is building a factory for that same lab...

[amber cairn]

I think it's best if we pause more of that sort of discussion for now, I know the LTT discord wants to keep in on topic of tech

[inland spindle]

Yeah im cool with that

[desert ivy]

Swappable batteries suck because they need to have big casings that just reduce capacity.

[amber cairn]

My phone's too thin anyway, will give it gripable sides again finally

ever tried edge-grabbing a pixel 7? yikes

[crude jasper]

EU is a piece of shit

[desert ivy]

We don't know what the legislation will entail AFAIK. It might be just easily serviceable which is good. As long as it doesn't obstruct innovation

[inland spindle]

Plus we save money not sending a phone to replace a battery by a technician. I think..

[inland spindle]

Right

[amber cairn]

As long as it'll make it easier for 3rd party workshops to swap batteries without litres of glue it'll be good enough. Making phones last longer

[inland spindle]

Forbidden cheese pulls 😆

[crude jasper]

Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Spain, Luxembourg, Czech republic, Belgium, Portugal, Romania, Hungary, Greece and Poland are all leeches

[desert ivy]

But the EU like to overregulate. So they are going to force phone manufacturers to make user serviceable batteries which is good and then are going to reduce capacity to meet safety standards which is bad. I hope I'm wrong

[desert ivy]

Lol what hahaha

[inland spindle]

They are forcing Apple to transition to USB-C probably by now

[dusty rune]

alr, banagher acting like a bitch again

[crude jasper]

EU is good as a country legislator but the economic agreements? 🤣🤣

[amber cairn]

You're talking about shit economic management with a swede present? We're one bad day from using our money as cheap bricks for new house development 😂

[crude jasper]

Fuck sweden! Norway top-tier

[inland spindle]

Screw e-currency and cbdc

[desert ivy]

Except Germany's economy has benefited immensely from the EU. Why do you think they want to hold it together. Sociopolitics isn't something you can understand by just counting net dollars. That's a very very low IQ take. Sorry

[amber cairn]

when the e-currency minter goes brrrrrrrrrr

[inland spindle]

Alright let's not get heated and get too political guys

Anyway is the Rx 550 a good option?

[crude jasper]

Germany doesn’t even know left from right anymore

Sure EU benefits its member states by boosting prosperity to double that of global standard

[dusty rune]

unless its very cheap, naw

[crude jasper]

But their management? Its not very good

[fossil frost]

no, when i had one for emergency purposes, it was worse than the igpu

[inland spindle]

I am planning to swap the gtx 550 ti and get a 3rd gen i5

[inland spindle]

Any other recommendation that has a low tdp?

And is cheap?

[fossil frost]

an igpu

[hot cradle]

how is all

[inland spindle]

Except an igpu?

[inland spindle]

Good

[fossil frost]

depends what you are trying to do, if its just a display output... anything at all.. if you want to game on it, low tdp and cheap are not something you are going to find

[inland spindle]

Literally 2 gigs of vram is enough for me since i don't game that hard tbh

For the cpu for example the i5 3550

[fossil frost]

"2gb of vram is enough" doesnt mean anything, the gpu that goes with it means far more than the amount of vram

[desert ivy]

What do you mean that hard? The VRAM is more about your ability to run a game nor the quality.

[inland spindle]

Like not playing the newer AAA titles?

[fiery cipher]

cards from 13 years ago could fit your parameters

[inland spindle]

Except... i can run 60 fps on fortnite with an ancient celeron and gtx 550 ti but i have a broken dvi-a to vga adapter

So had to improvise and but some other screws that fit

Ok what about the rx 560? The 2 gb model

[low rain]

From now on I’m patting down everyone who walks into my room because I let my cousin in my room and then he used a stun gun and kept getting mad close to me

That was so scary

[fossil frost]

he was just gonna zap you, then laugh, and then that would have been it, i dont understand what would be scary, or why you think patting him down would have stopped him from doing it

[low rain]

Because at first I didn’t even know he had it

If I knew he had it I would have taken it away

[pearl flare]

Hey guys new here, quick question what is the difference between 3200 c16 vs 3600 c18 and what would be best for gaming?

[neon mesa]

these low end cards are ewaste

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BLU-tnFOXk

[desert ivy]

I agree just get a used one. Low TDP ones aren't even a guarantee that they are power efficient, just that they have stronger limits. Which you could hard code yourself with Afterburner or just not playing games hah

[manic torrent]

basically nothing, and basically no difference

[vapid zephyr]

Basically no difference, just go with 3200 CL16

[fierce moth]

i cant believe i have to fucking log into wikipedia so i dont get the new design

[fiery skiff]

if I had a system with 2 gpus would I need a display cable going from both cards or only one

[gilded quest]

Wikipedia got a redesign?

[fierce moth]

you havent seen?

[gilded quest]

Love your display name

[fierce moth]

vector 2022

[gilded quest]

Nope

[fierce moth]

thats the default if your not signed in

[gilded quest]

Is it on Mobile?

[fierce moth]

idk

[sage quiver]

It’s super minor

[gilded quest]

If I've seen it, it's not different enough to notice

[fierce moth]

on pc it looks like ass imo

[sage quiver]

Mostly in the sidebar and navigation elements

[gilded quest]

I almost exclusively read Wikipedia on mobile tho

[fierce moth]

hold up ill get a screenshot

this is the new ui

[gilded quest]

Hm

[sage quiver]

It’s slightly less information dense, but it makes it easier to navigate longer articles

Found an article with a before/after https://www.businessinsider.com/new-wikipedia-update-looks-different-desktop-redesign-2023-1

[gilded quest]

Mobile looks the same as usual

[sage quiver]

Mobile hasn’t changed afaik

This was also rolled out months ago

[fierce moth]

the old ui

dont mind the dark mode

[gilded quest]

Damn I really don't read Wikipedia on desktop apparently

[fierce moth]

the old ui is much better imo

but there are some users that enjoy the new one

[karmic wedge]

not having a card that you can put into a low power system makes the whole system ewaste since it's not suitable for gaming

and don't try to tell me "just replace the power supply" because now you're causing ewaste to low power PSUs

[obtuse slate]

hai chat gm

[neon mesa]

iGPUs exists

and GTX 1650 exists

and OEM/No Brand PSUs are already e-waste

[desert ivy]

It's way better now what are you talking about. What's not to get it's basic UI concepts.

The old Wikipedia had tons of useless information.

[glacial ibex]

Dell XPSs come with pretty good OEM power supplies

[desert ivy]

The old sidebar was useless information. Unnecessary clutter. Not to mention the search bae is where it's supposed to go. Not hidden on the right on a section of the page where makes absolute 0 sense.

I don't know why I can't tolerate dark mode on desktop. It's less readable. And since the screen is not close to my face and I set my monitor to low brightness it's not tiring at all.

[gilded forge]

wait what? I've had the new design for 3 months-

[gilded forge]

I have an eye irritation condition which makes my eyes sensitive to anything really bright. so I always have f.lux installed and always on, and dark reader hls a ton

[desert ivy]

I see. I suppose there it's a no brainer. I use dark mode in phones, since the screen is a little harder on my eyes then. But on PC it's just never been an issue.

[finite cloud]

[vapid smelt]

@gilded forge your name got green and moldy

[fierce moth]

He crashed his plane

[desert ivy]

That guy just added the more important part of the site as a useless statistics section that's there just because it looks good. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Although his design is pretty it loses a lot on usability.

Also his design loses all the hyperlink functionality which is a basic hey feature of Wikipedia. I rate his design a 10/100 and that's just because it's pretty.

[tepid jasper]

HIS MIDDLE NAME IS GABRIEL?

[topaz ivy]

hi

[dark spruce]

Salam Mister Plouffe

is your name real

[timid meadow]

Wtf why ping staff on a year old message

[dark spruce]

do not swear

i was scrolling through messages and i saw this beautiful name

[timid meadow]

Or what? Gunna ban me?

[dark spruce]

My ban will fall in compairson towards the punishment of Allah

[ionic abyss]

ok time to redact my discord chat with permant marker

[timid meadow]

Thats nice. Have fun spouting your religion. Doesnt effect my life 🤷

[dark spruce]

Ameen! thats the beauty of discord

[vapid smelt]

@ ing staff that are not actively talking in chat is illegal

[dark spruce]

In what nation Mister Coopa troopa

[timid meadow]

The nation of LttCord. If you need something you ping all mods, not individual staff

[vapid smelt]

The #rules nation

[runic lagoon]

There are like 100+ ltt staff at this point ?

[dark spruce]

Exactly!

[vapid smelt]

Like 150 now

[dark spruce]

I was just asking Akhi Plouffe a question

[timid meadow]

Which you dont have permission to do in this server. They arent your friends, you dont just get to ping them to have coffee

[vapid smelt]

And this server asked you to read the rules when you joined it

[dark spruce]

Who said He isnt my friend

stop micromodding get a life 🤣

[timid meadow]

If he was, you wouldnt be pinging him in a public chat

[runic lagoon]

Dang that’s a lot of ltt

[vapid smelt]

If he was your friend you would know his name

[timid meadow]

I do have a life, waiting to go to work rn. Whats your excuse?

[dark spruce]

You dont know the circumstances

[dark spruce]

excuse for what

[timid meadow]

Being on discord with nothing better to do then argue about pinging someone who doesnt give a damn

[dark spruce]

im wasting your time this is very fun

<@&750150305383186585> Because i am not allowed to ping ltt staff, can you find out if Plouffes real name is plouffe

[ionic abyss]

so gollum is so bad the dev team gave up on it??????

[timid meadow]

Who said your wasting my time? Chill lil bro lmao. You arent wasting my time, i waste my own time waking up so early. My adult life is taken care of. Little entertainment on discord isnt a waste, its rest

[vapid smelt]

Wait the dev team put work into it?!

[ionic abyss]

i think gollum was ai generated

like if you described what gollum looked like to a deaf man who then gave the instrctions to a mute man who told the ai what to design

[past egret]

i wouldnt be surprised

[ionic abyss]

that looks nothing like gollum

[past egret]

game industry already relies a lot on AI assistaned creation

[ionic abyss]

id say that is unlikely

[timid meadow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/consolerepair/comments/112tbi1/clearing_up_the_ps5_liquid_metal_myth/

Tldr: yes it can happen but only if your already neglecting your system and letting it get hotter then intended via dust or ambient temp or whatever

Open it up and dust it out once in a blue moon and youll be fine

[sweet jetty]

Sorry for getting into this in this way, but how are mods gonna do that?

[timid meadow]

Timespan is entirely dependent on your environment. Some people can go 2 years without cleaning their pc or console, others have to do it weekly.

[timid meadow]

They wont. Itll probably be ignored

[manic torrent]

why is allah being punished? oh well

it's a sentence structure joke. ease up there.

[broken folio]

More than that, they're going to force them to allow side loading and other apps stores. Plus they're going to force removeable batteries on devices it seems.

[sweet jetty]

Removable battery thing's gonna take 2027 at least and might take even longer, and they're not obliged to do it anywhere except the EU, but it'd be convenient for them to have one sorta phone everywhere

Im really, really looking forward for proper sideloading on IOS tho, if that becomes a reality, im really switching to an iphone

[broken folio]

These things do take time, they have to give manufacturers time to alter their tooling/devices, hence the lead time typically of 3-5 years depending upon the devices.

[sweet jetty]

True, plus I think apple's not gonna do the removable battery bit outside the EU tho, since they already have a bazillion variants of iphones regionally

[broken folio]

Potentially. but they will probably do the USBC world wide as they use it for everything else already, it is only iPhones that still have the lightning connector now.

Apple cares most about saving money, so if making one device for all of the regions makes the most profit they'll likely do that I expect.

the problem though will be we've gotten used to the dust/dirt/water proof nature of modern phones, removable batteries complicates that significantly potentially and it makes making phones thinner and lighter with larger batteries harder.

So there will be some trade off with the removable batteries requirements.

[manic torrent]

no, apple cares most about selling more units and maintaining a high market value for its devices and itself

[broken folio]

They've been transitioning tbh towards caring more about services than devices in many respects.

[near nymph]

Changing the battery on a iphone is relatively easy assuming you have access to the tools ...

Which.... Umm... The pairing tool...

[stray apex]

The requirements don't need removable batteries

[manic torrent]

yeah, which is about long term brand and etc. it's far more important that johnny Q citizen buys another iphone, than the current iphone is slightly more profitable

[stray apex]

The language used doesn't even appear to require that the batteries are user replaceable

[manic torrent]

they need servicable batteries

[stray apex]

Just that it's possible for a third party to replace it

So no battery drm

[manic torrent]

currently you have to unglue the phone - that goes for most phones

[broken folio]

the glue is part of the waterproofing iirc

[stray apex]

As far as I can tell the regulations wouldn't affect that?

[manic torrent]

yes, so they would need a gasket

[stray apex]

The proposal didn't seem terribly specific on what they actually required

[near nymph]

I hope they have framework laptops on demo at LTX

I really want a Framework but I need to see it in person

[vapid smelt]

idk ungluing a glass brick is stressful

[stray apex]

Linus did say that every company on the floor was required to have an activity

[near nymph]

Mhmmm...

[near nymph]

Removing the screen is a lot easier

[manic torrent]

lol, pricing a g502x plus - I can get one brand new for $160 from ebay, or I can buy one second hand for $190 ... hmmmm, decisions!

[timid meadow]

Ifixit makes a heat pad that seems to make it easy but i havent tried it yet 🤷

[manic torrent]

that makes it easier - but it's still pretty specialist stuff. As a rule, once I've pulled the phone apart and replaced the battery, I know how to do it properly the second time (which NEVER EVER occurs)

[sweet jetty]

I hope, but I'm p sure they'll just end up going portless in a bit, sadly

[broken folio]

Maybe

but that would be rather dumb i think, users already hate the lack of headphone jacks in many cases

[sweet jetty]

Man, there are dual sim iphones out there in some countries... People love them, but apple doesn't want other regions to have it

[sweet jetty]

It's classic apple fashion, they love to pull moves like this and call it innovation

[sweet jetty]

Most third parties are too scared to open iphones because of the ribbon connectors already lol, watch apple make a serviceable battery but making it more complex to open the damn thing without breaking it 💀

[stray apex]

Hey, still follows regulations

[sweet jetty]

I mean, yeah, but is it consumer friendly and "saving the environment" like they claim? Not by a long shot

There's so much friggin ewaste apple makes from shit like this and the freakin iCloud locked apple devices

[broken folio]

I'm not disputing that, I just think it would be dumb.

[sweet jetty]

Then they have the audacity to call themselves eco friendly

[sweet jetty]

Respectable

[wispy dragon]

Should I yell at a 3 year old that I’m trying to relax

[sweet jetty]

What saddens me is what apple sets as a new "trend" android manufacturers soon follow on the design, I don't want my ports to go man

[fiery cipher]

(in a set time period excluding 13,000,000 factors)

[sweet jetty]

No man, give them a couple mil and you'll be Gucci

[fiery cipher]

no thats not how you deal with kids

[wispy dragon]

I don’t give a shit there not mine

[fiery cipher]

where is it

[sweet jetty]

Lmfaooo

Bro's name is mrbeastyt and they said that, im crackin up 😭

[fiery cipher]

why are you around this kid @wispy dragon

[gilded forge]

card declined again lmao

[wispy dragon]

There my neighbor and there outside screaming and playing with sparklers

[fiery cipher]

oh yeah fucking shout at the kid

or the parent

[sweet jetty]

Or... Ask their parents to calm their down, tell them you have a meeting or smth

[gilded forge]

who gives a 3yo sparklers

[wispy dragon]

And it’s fucken almost 10pm

[fiery cipher]

i shouted at a person walking their chiauhuahuahauhs (multiple) the other day at 7am, they dont even live down my road

[sweet jetty]

I mean, it's almost impossible to get hurt by it unless you're super bad at handling them so

[sweet jetty]

Why 😭

[fiery cipher]

its very possible to get hurt at them

[gilded forge]

I touched fire as a 3yo 😭 I was special

[fiery cipher]

like so easy

[sweet jetty]

Damn, I celebrate diwali, so I usually burn the big boy crackers every year, I've never got hurt

[gilded quest]

Oh yes. Be mean about it too

[wispy dragon]

They got firecrackers

[fiery cipher]

sparklers are the worst because of the temperatures

[sweet jetty]

One time I burnt a multishot rocket kit upside down it went everywhere

😭

[gilded forge]

Steam updates just pulled focus away from LibreOffice to tell me it's updating. IF IM TYPING DONT PULL FOCUS FROM MY PROGRAM GODDAMNIT.

[wispy dragon]

They got firecrackers and they blew em up

It was loud

[gilded forge]

at least you're not IShowSpeed

[fiery cipher]

wait is it 4th of july?

[wispy dragon]

Durrrr

[fiery cipher]

then dont shout at them

[sweet jetty]

I mean, the key is to light it and keep it a bit away so you don't get hurt, then proceed to spin it so it forms a ring and pretend to do Harry Potter spells

[wispy dragon]

I already did

[gilded forge]

no. it's time for bearded rednecks to drink beer and pull out rifles

[sweet jetty]

Wow, Ive just disabled my libreoffice updates personally, why would I need to update those anyways 😭

[fiery cipher]

i was a fire marshall at an event weve banned sparklers for many years due to the ammount of burn injuries

[sweet jetty]

Oh damn

[fiery cipher]

im not american would not know

[wispy dragon]

There on my lawn almost

[gilded forge]

security

[sweet jetty]

People can sometimes really be stupid huh 😭

[fiery cipher]

airgap your computer then

[sweet jetty]

Eh, that consists of not being dumb online these days, basically

[fiery cipher]

not really

[full fossil]

that shits boring

[fiery cipher]

zeroday exploits are a thing

[gilded forge]

no I mean. if you haven't updated something in like a year, there bound for someone to find a gap in the security. like that one time that person at LastPass leaked everyone's passwords because he didn't update Plex in over a year so someone found a backdoor.

[sweet jetty]

😭

[fiery cipher]

i dont use a password manager for those reasons

takes one dumbass in big boi company

[sweet jetty]

On an open source Linux software that literally comes pre-installed with every install?

[fiery cipher]

yes

[manic torrent]

Not all password managers are the same.

[sweet jetty]

Fair enough

[sweet jetty]

I don't use them anyways, the idea of having one is literally fricked

"one place to store all your passwords"

[fiery cipher]

i meant like the hosted ones @manic torrent i thought that wass apparent as i was talking about lastpass

[manic torrent]

Zero day is GENERALLY not something that's particularly relevant for a typical user risk matrix

[sweet jetty]

Lmao, alright man

[manic torrent]

Yes, but even hosted ones. Plenty of ways to encrypt things.

[fiery cipher]

its more when they stop being zero days but yeah

[sweet jetty]

You on 4chan a lot lately? 💀

[fiery cipher]

like when people know about them

[manic torrent]

It actually makes a lot of sense, because you can have much greater protection but a single (or low amounts) of credentials to remember.

[fiery cipher]

its not a bad thing to be suspicious of what could be going on on your own computer

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, but it'll only take the low amount of credentials to get access to all your credentials

And if that gets cookie logged, you're literally burnt toast

[manic torrent]

Yes, but low amounts of high security credentials are better than thousands of shit ones.

.... If it takes only a cookie to access it, it's failed before you even started.

[full fossil]

i feel like password managers probably don’t create session tokens

[manic torrent]

They absolutely do, but they are not as transferrable as other services.

[sweet jetty]

Fair enough

[manic torrent]

This is also why using third party auth and SSO is best.

[sweet jetty]

That's most sites tho? They remember that you signed in after you did? That creates a session token

Sure they're not as easy to get, but not impossible

[fiery cipher]

its probably tied to one ip or device identifier or somin

[sweet jetty]

I'll probably try doing this sometime later when I'm free lol

[manic torrent]

This. You NEED a session token because HTTP is stateless. But there is plenty of ways to secure it.

For context, I work in cyber security.

[fiery cipher]

yeah my cybersec knowledge is limited

[gilded forge]

i use password managers. but I use Keepass which I'm selfhosting on my home server

[fiery cipher]

i type things in my computer goes bleep bloop thats the extent of my capabilities

[sweet jetty]

I mean

[manic torrent]

That's all anyone does.

[sweet jetty]

That's still more capability than 90% people

[fiery cipher]

yeah but i have gnu cobol installed so practically a genius (this doesnt even make sense as a scentence but feck it)

[sweet jetty]

Lmao

[manic torrent]

I write software that does vaguely clever things sometimes.

[gilded forge]

bro I'm too stupid to learn cobol

[fiery cipher]

cobol isnt hard

[manic torrent]

And tell people how and why they are wrong

[sweet jetty]

That's awesome

[fiery cipher]

the memory management is a bitch though

[gilded forge]

it takes commitment

[fiery cipher]

not really

[sweet jetty]

That's what she said 😔

[fiery cipher]

if you wanna be good sure but its not hard to slap together stuff in

I've never programmed in cobol. I've been coding professionally for over 20 years. It's amazing irrelevant in 2023

[fiery cipher]

i think it even has QT bindings iirc

[manic torrent]

Even less relevant than PERL. And I used perl for a loooong time.

[fiery cipher]

not really irrelevant, irrelevant to you but still relevant to the businesses that use it

[manic torrent]

Generally irrelevant

[sweet jetty]

I've heard cobol for the third time in my entire life 💀

[fiery cipher]

doesnt mean its irrelevant as a whole

[manic torrent]

It is extremely niche. Amazingly, exceedingly so.

[gilded forge]

Luke was talking about cobol on the wan show a bit ago. I have suspicions this Avacado person is secretly Luke

[sweet jetty]

😭😭😭

[manic torrent]

Nobody sane would start a project in cobol at any point in the last 20 years.

[fiery cipher]

nicheness is such a good thing

[fiery cipher]

im british

[manic torrent]

It's not niche because of purpose though, it's purely legacy support.

[sweet jetty]

Damn, im willing to bet no one in this server really is sane 😭

[fiery cipher]

oh totally, but allot of things are like that, too expensive to rewrite

[sweet jetty]

Hey british, Im allie

[fiery cipher]

im not actually british

just live in that general area

[sweet jetty]

Ngl, I feel like this is where AI can play a big part

[vapid smelt]

im sorry

[sweet jetty]

Translating code to languages

[sweet jetty]

Man, stop 😭

[manic torrent]

Yes, but as the tech ages, it's eventually replaced. Decades go by. One of the key factors I use in deciding technology is availability of skills in the marketplace

[gilded forge]

I'm probably one of the few people left that does all my coding in vim. then again, most of it are like bat scripts and html so pretty basic.

[manic torrent]

Because a system you can get people to support is a system you can support

[fiery cipher]

thats not really uncommon

[sweet jetty]

Might as well use notepad 😭

[manic torrent]

..... No.

[fiery cipher]

yeah most cobol devs are dying out or demented

[sweet jetty]

... (it's a joke)

[gilded forge]

I uninstalled notepad lmao. notepad++ for the fucking win

[sweet jetty]

Heck yeah!

[fiery cipher]

who uninstalls notepad

[manic torrent]

Vim is fine. I use notepad++ on windows for small stuff, but I tell you what, the ssh addin for visual studio code is awesome.

[gilded forge]

me

[fiery cipher]

its so useful

[manic torrent]

Notepad is garbage and should never be used

[fiery cipher]

i use it daily

[manic torrent]

Notepad++ should be part of the base image

[sweet jetty]

I mean, it sucks overall lol

[gilded forge]

I honestly haven't used VSC in a whileee. the bloatedness kills it for me

[fiery cipher]

yeah but its good when you need it and opens in like .2 of second

[gilded forge]

again, notepad++ is better a hundred times over

[manic torrent]

.... You say that like I close np++, ever.

[sweet jetty]

I mean, depends on your specs, if it's low end, it's probably the best choice

[manic torrent]

Yes, but when you're coding actual stuff, it's great.

[fiery cipher]

its simplicity is what makes it useful to me

[sweet jetty]

I haven't opened notepad in ages, didn't they kinda update it in win11?

[fiery cipher]

idk im still on 10

[manic torrent]

When you say low end you mean if it's a huge piece of shit ewaste?

[fiery cipher]

gonna axe my windows install soon and switch to opensuse leap

[sweet jetty]

Not really man, for some people, they gotta make do with what they got

[manic torrent]

... I understand this, but we're talking about notepad++ here.

[fiery cipher]

np++ is light af

[sweet jetty]

I mean, yeah, fair

But if they enjoy notepad, we can only tell them about a better alternative, but at the end of the day it's their choice

[manic torrent]

Notepad in win11 has tabs

[fiery cipher]

thats not what notepad is meant to be imo

[sweet jetty]

I'd suggest just getting a new SSD, sometimes you need windows for some shit

[fiery cipher]

laptop

128gb ssd in it and it fucking sucks

[sweet jetty]

Oh, is it replaceable?

[fiery cipher]

NOPE

[sweet jetty]

Whyd you get that laptop bro 😭

[manic torrent]

I have my windows laptop, windows desktop, Linux server

[fiery cipher]

i bought it in like 2017

[manic torrent]

I haven't used Linux on the desktop since I was doing high security stuff

[fiery cipher]

i was practically braindead then

[sweet jetty]

I have a ThinkPad with windows, Linux and macos, a macbook and a windows/ Linux pc

[gilded forge]

who the fuck still solders down SSDs

[fiery cipher]

its not soldered

[manic torrent]

Replace it

[sweet jetty]

A lottt of manufacturers these days, a hell lot

[fiery cipher]

i think but you cant replace it

[sweet jetty]

😭 fair man

[manic torrent]

My laptop has a 1tb m.2 nvme ssd

[fiery cipher]

also im broke so how am i replacing an ssd

[sweet jetty]

I mean, SSDs are dirt cheap lately

[gilded forge]

I have my laptop dual boot with Windows 10 and EndeavourOS

[fiery cipher]

i daily an iphone 6s im broke broke

[gilded forge]

ew iphone

[sweet jetty]

Nice

[rare hamlet]

Yea they are I mean an nvme isn’t anywhere as expensive as they used to be

[fiery cipher]

endeavour, really?

[sweet jetty]

Damn 😭

[manic torrent]

Just get more money from the money cannon

[fiery cipher]

shit man forgot about the money cannon

[sweet jetty]

Dude that and have you checked sata prices lately? Crazy

[fiery cipher]

i have a spare ssd

[sweet jetty]

...

[fiery cipher]

but of the same capacity and not keyed the same

[rare hamlet]

No I haven’t

[gilded forge]

didn't feel like compiling Arch again. I just needed a Linux install fast and I don't really like Manjaro that much

[sweet jetty]

Just... Use it? Maybe?

[fiery cipher]

pulled it from a pc i found on the side of the road

[sweet jetty]

Dirt cheap dude, literally

[fiery cipher]

i still have that pc

nice little media thing has a socketed celeron in it

[sweet jetty]

Homeless man: "I've finally saved up enough to build a pc and do epic gamer shit, now I'll go buy a monitor"
Leaves to get monitor
Avocado comes in
"Damn free SSD, don't mind if I do"

[rare hamlet]

Is Batman Arkham knights worth it for 3.99 on steam or all 3 Arkham games plus season pass for Arkham knight for 8.99

[manic torrent]

Who cares?

[sweet jetty]

If you're actually gonna play it... Yes, if not, no

[gilded forge]

Arkham knight is the worst of the 4

[manic torrent]

I need to make a list of stuff I want to buy so I don't impulsively buy shit I don't need as much.

[fiery cipher]

nah dw it was on my neighbours wall, if something is on a wall its free

[rare hamlet]

I didn’t ask if you cared I asked if it’s worth it

[fiery cipher]

13kilos of blank playing cards ????

[gilded forge]

I keep impulsobely buying cool hoodies and I have to keep reminding myself that it's summet

[manic torrent]

Yes, and "worth it" for 10 bucks......

[sweet jetty]

Check the gameplay a bit and see if you're interested

[rare hamlet]

I liked Arkham knights I had it on my ps4

[fiery cipher]

buy it and play for an hour if it sucks ass return it

[rare hamlet]

Iv played it before on console I went through the whole game but it’s been years since I played it

[sweet jetty]

I have an unhealthy amounts of actually way too oversized hoodies

[gilded forge]

yeah I'm just saying, of you haven't played the other 3, you're missing out.

[manic torrent]

I want to buy a g502x plus but I should probably get something else instead.

[sweet jetty]

Seems like a worthful purchase then shrugs

[fiery cipher]

how many is unhealthy?

[fierce moth]

its not much of an upgrade if you already have the normal g502 lightspeed

[desert ivy]

Read the reviews. Scroll down on Steam and you'll see people writing their thoughts on the game. Read enough of them and you'll be able to estimate if it's worth it for you. It's better than asking people to give you a review of a game on a chat room, since the people that wrote the review are engaged to the game.

[gilded forge]

just buy the collection. and start from Asylum

[rare hamlet]

The newest one is the new Gotham one with Batman’s side kicks right

[manic torrent]

I mean, hell, play it for an hour, you're still getting your money's worth

[sweet jetty]

Like over 30?

[fiery cipher]

fucking hell

how big is your wardrobe

[gilded forge]

do not buy that game, even if it's $0.30

[sweet jetty]

Keep in mind, I live in a dorm, so my cupboard literally explodes when I open it

[manic torrent]

I don't have a g502 specifically because it was not USB C

[sweet jetty]

I have way more hoodies back at home

[fiery cipher]

i dont understand how people buy that many things

[manic torrent]

Step 1: buy stuff. Step 2: buy more stuff.

[sweet jetty]

😭 man idk I find it fun to dress so I get shit I like

[fiery cipher]

i dont think i even have 30 articles of clothing in general (except like socks)

[rare hamlet]

Lmao yea I heard it’s ass. The collection includes 3 games I didn’t realize there was a fourth

[gilded forge]

yk that feeling when you finally have money incoming for the first time and you wanna buy up everything on your Amazon wishlisy

[fiery cipher]

yeah but 30 hoodies

[fiery cipher]

i dont have an amazon wishlist though

there is nothing i like desire

[rare hamlet]

I think iv got like 3 hoodies 2 pairs of sweats and 3 t shirts life is good

[sweet jetty]

Wearing an oversized hoodie, completely getting in it, put the hood on, you feel enlightened and disconnected from reality for a bit

[gilded forge]

Arkham Origins

[fiery cipher]

happy you like that

[elfin jetty]

keks in uncle linus hoodie

[sweet jetty]

Try that sometime

[fiery cipher]

i would overheat so quick

[sweet jetty]

No, I mean in winters

[rare hamlet]

Yea asylum, knights and origins so 3 then

[sweet jetty]

I ain't wearin hoodies in summers bro 💀 it's like 40c here

[fiery cipher]

still i love the cold

[gilded forge]

asylum, city, origins, blackgate, Knight. blackgate only released on the Ps vita and the 3ds

[fierce moth]

Winter sucks

Summer sucks more tho

[fiery cipher]

winter best season

[sweet jetty]

shrugs fair

Man, I love rains

[rare hamlet]

Huh city isn’t in the collection

[fiery cipher]

i think i have one of those on xbox

[desert ivy]

I love rain. Except when I have to drive or go outside. Then I hate rain.

[gilded forge]

that's the best one tho

[fiery cipher]

i wear a hat in the rain to prevent like wet head

[gilded forge]

umbrella hat

[fiery cipher]

no its like a cotton bucket hat thing

[crude jasper]

debatable

Asylum and origins were pretty damn good

[rare hamlet]

Oh no wait origins isn’t

[crude jasper]

IMO if you include DLCs it'd be Asylum, Origins then City

Knight is basically playing War thunder Ground arcade battle

[gilded forge]

probably true. but I didn't play most the dlc.

[gilded forge]

bro I hit the batmobike part of the game and I was like "no this is too much why did they do this"

[crude jasper]

asylum without DLC

the batmobike part?

might be typo but unsure

It could have been super well implemented but it just wasn't

[gilded forge]

idk battank whatever the fuck it is

[past egret]

the tumbler?

[crude jasper]

No

[crude jasper]

Yeah

it just wasn't well implemented

[manic torrent]

Do you have hobbies, etc? I desire ... Screws. A sorted collection of m3 and m4 screws in various lengths with different head styles in drawers.

[fiery cipher]

i would like the pine soldering iron and a new impact driver if im being honest

but those are like the only things i can think of

[manic torrent]

Oh, I love my TS80P

[fiery cipher]

i think my old impact driver is broken

[manic torrent]

I also recently got a Ryobi cordless jigsaw and have used it a bunch of times, it's great.

[fiery cipher]

also need new solder like a roll of electrical solder and a roll of acid core so i can fix a piece of my sisters jewlery

[fiery cipher]

im on the makita system

ryobi tools are so cool though so many choices

[manic torrent]

I have a rotary tool, drill, impact driver, impact wrench, socket wrench, light, leaf mulcher, angle grinder, heat gun, hot glue gun, brush cutter, jigsaw, sander, soldering iron, and... I think that's it.

[fiery cipher]

the ryobi hot glue gun is awesome

at some point i want to move up north and buy a small bit of land so i can have a small workshop

Ltt team, i beg you. Show us whats inside

[manic torrent]

So much stuff I sorted.

[fiery cipher]

honestly if it wasnt for what i wanna do i would be living in the fuckin woods

[timid meadow]

The interior has a 164,000 LED wrap around display with 164,000 speakers to provide wrap around sound and display.. The exterior has a 580,000 wrap around LED display.

[vapid smelt]

nothing can beat my old 25+year old hotglue gun

[fiery cipher]

being 20ft away from a socket

[vapid smelt]

ez

[fiery cipher]

being in the woods

[fiery cipher]

excessive

[manic torrent]

I mean, a hot glue gun ultimately just has to be hot, and glue comes out. It's not rocket surgery here.

[fiery cipher]

also everything i say is sponsored by ecoflow so wrong box

but anyways ima go hope you have agood day @manic torrent

[manic torrent]

I start my new job tomorrow, I am excited

[manic torrent]

Exactly.

[fiery cipher]

hell yeah hope it goes well

ill catch up with you about it tomorrow hopefully

[crude jasper]

i'd rather not have super ugly charred hot glue..

[vapid smelt]

didnt your old job have to do with spying on people i mean doing work with cameras you guys set up in public places?

[grim marten]

Does anyone know if you can use Liquid Metal with the ekwb delta tec cooler?

[manic torrent]

nah that's just hobby stuff 😄

[manic torrent]

why wouldn't you be able to

[vapid smelt]

must of been another ausie that had a job of installing/ maintain cameras

[manic torrent]

must have

[sweet jetty]

Wikihow my beloved

[ocean skiff]

Does anyone have experience buying replacement batteries from Amazon for yall laptops?

I've heard it's horrible

I've got a super spicy pillow in my microsoft surface 😋

[timid meadow]

Yo @manic torrent, have you watched the Behind the Scenes of WAN on FP yet? They built a midi controller similar to yours (at least looks similar to my smol brain). Is one or the other better or different builds for different usecases?

[manic torrent]

I haven't seen what they have done, but my control software is entirely arbitrary, so it's really about what works best for what you want. The buttons/controls can do anything

[sweet jetty]

I got mine from eBay 💀

[manic torrent]

If I was doing something like that I'd use the full size one with a bunch of controls. In fact I kinda want to get one for me

That way, I can switch the output, and it will list all the inputs and I can enable/disable them and their levels

OR, I can switch it to input mode, and the same thing in reverse.

[timid meadow]

Same. Lots of people selling whole machines for parts or just the batteries. Both refurb and aftermarket

[ocean skiff]

That's really brave of you buying a replacement battery from ebay💀

[manic torrent]

eh, not really I've bought heaps of stuff like that from ebay

[ocean skiff]

God knows if it has been used and abused

[sweet jetty]

It was a ThinkPad so I wasn't very suspecious

Plus the seller had a phenomenal rating

[timid meadow]

Most sellers mark stuff accordingly, but common sense is also required when looking at the listings. Protections exist if the product isnt as advertised

[ocean skiff]

I would've showed my spicy pillow but apparently I can't share pictures

[sweet jetty]

Oh man, I have a few but idk if they'll work for you, none of them work for me

[full fossil]

Maybe some NyQuil sleep

[sweet jetty]

Sometimes when you don't apply common sense, you luck out too 😭

[ocean skiff]

How is that ebay battery serving you right now?

[full fossil]

basically lol

[sweet jetty]

Really well, it was at 98% capacity

[ocean skiff]

Benadryl says hi

[grim marten]

Not sure if the cold temperature will make the metal harden and expand

[sweet jetty]

And it was a 9 cell battery so it lasts pretty well, gives me 8ish hours

[ocean skiff]

Oh it tells you the capacity?

[sweet jetty]

Nah, I had a software to check it

[full fossil]

Tho NyQuil is weird

[sweet jetty]

Needed to charge it to 100% then let it discharge

[ocean skiff]

Man I really wanna poke this puffed up battery

What about ifix it?

[full fossil]

Fix the battery? No Don't, replacement, yes

[sweet jetty]

Macos says my battery is at 96% health but I'm not sure how reliable that stat is

[pliant karma]

lol the temptation is there. I ocasstionally will poke one outside with fire exstigusher nearby

[sweet jetty]

You know you can literally die, right?

[manic torrent]

ehhhhhh

[sweet jetty]

I mean, it's rare

[manic torrent]

much more likely to burn your house down.

[sweet jetty]

But there have been cases, so better safe than sorry

[grim marten]

Too soon man….

[pliant karma]

yep idk why you would want to do it inside but anywhere not inside the house outside in an open area

[sweet jetty]

Or yk

[full fossil]

You could recycle it

[sweet jetty]

Just don't?

[pliant karma]

that too sometimes my curiosity gets to me when I am bored
