Q: How many 5¼ bay drives/devices do you want?
A: Yes

[graceful burrow]

Shoutouts to that time they killed the #1106613567966429224 chat by turning it into a forum channel (which nobody uses) and then sponsored it by cablemod as a final fuck you to people who used to enjoy the channel

[wispy marsh]

Aida64 is correct ||/j||

[minor shoal]

what does that have to do with them being honest?

you're not making any sense, just saying random shit

[graceful burrow]

I wasn't talkin to you

[polar fern]

🤔

[fallen rover]

Forum channels are a relatively new feature added to Discord that makes it easier to communicate and separate discussions instead of having one long stream of messages

[minor shoal]

do you think i give a fuck? you're in a public forum

[graceful burrow]

They fuckin suck and nobody uses em

[minor shoal]

they are pretty active. if you're going to cry about it you can always go on some irc channel

[graceful burrow]

The quality of answers people get in #1106613567966429224 is abhorrent now

Same with #1027757333117415424

[manic torrent]

it probably is, but I removed it from my channel list entirely 😄

[wind pulsar]

Oh yeah, no doubt
So honest they got shit on for their outlandish and unreasonable warranty policies as well being known for being an objectively horrible employer due to dumb anti-labour policies as well as them just blatantly monetizing the video where Gamers Nexus called them out on their bullshit

[graceful burrow]

Same, a lot of regulars did

Nobody likes the change

[minor shoal]

you're going to take the word of one disgruntled employee on the internet??

[wind pulsar]

So honest, so good

[rigid tide]

inthought you werebeing genuine until i saw the tonetagHELP

[minor shoal]

jesus the IQ in this channel is room temperature, it's unreal lmfao

[wind pulsar]

Idk, did you work for LMG and can deliver a first-person perspective regardless of them being a toxic fuck or not or are you just a random bystander acting like you know shit?

[fallen rover]

Companies often face criticism regarding their employment practices, but it's essential to acknowledge that these policies can be subject to change. LTT's model highlights any recent efforts made by the company to improve employee welfare, such as introducing better benefits, workplace initiatives, or adopting more inclusive hiring practices like they have done since 2014

Did you...? You're trusting someone who posted a damn LMG handbook on Reddit and now all of a sudden what they're saying is 100% true?

If it really was that bad more people would speak out.

[fallen rover]

My English proficiency is not good, but it's not my native language. I'm still learning and improving every day

Pub Chat is pub chat-ing

[minor shoal]

i shouldn't be surprised that a person with an anime pfp + pronouns in their bio lacks any kind of critical thinking

[graceful burrow]

Civil?
Ltt chat?

[fallen rover]

Fair enough. I was talking to HardwareBob. He always belittles me because his English is better than mine. The thing is that he got his English levels from MIT, while I got it in Europe, so it's not fair

The amount of times a discussion stays civil in #public-chat is less than my appendages

[graceful burrow]

He lives in Australia lmao

[fallen rover]

No, it's not good. I have a lot of British friends that complain about my English whilst playing video games or chatting in private gaming servers

[wind pulsar]

He didn't get his proficiency from shit, he speaks English natively

[fallen rover]

Exactly. He is a native speaker and he has a degree in his native language, making him essentially an expert 🙂

[wind pulsar]

Just pay attention in school like a normal person and your proficiency will be similar to him assuming you live to be 40

[wispy marsh]

Hey wait. I assumed the majority of us are ESL because Canada is natively French

[manic torrent]

I mean, I'm australian, and I don't have a degree

[wispy marsh]

[manic torrent]

I mean I am very clever, and admittedly I am prety good at language.

[fallen rover]

Thanks. I will, and someday I'll come back for more dicussions when my English is as good as yours and HardwareBob's

[manic torrent]

However, your problem isn't understanding the language as such. The problem is understanding what you are communicating vs what you said.

[median idol]

People find it hard to believe that English isn't my first language and their jaws drop to the floor once they find out mine is actually Arabic since I look unconvincing

[manic torrent]

I sometimes use overly complicated language to flex on people and belittle them. It's a character flaw I'm aware of, but I know exactly what I'm doing when I'm doing it.

[fallen rover]

Arabic people are really good at speaking English

[graceful burrow]

This is a very weirdly worded message
Do you have a number of appendages greater or lower than average?

[wispy marsh]

Communication is far more complex than language

I got a cx750 from my local used game store

Why they had a cx 750 I have no idea

[wispy marsh]

Nice, a base corsair psu

[jaunty compass]

It was $20

[wind pulsar]

At least you can brag with the Arabic desert drip

[wispy marsh]

Assuming proper working condition, very nice

[manic torrent]

english is such a horrible language

[jaunty compass]

They say it works, and the store has a 30 day warranty, so if its dead I can get a refund

[wispy marsh]

Order the missing cables from Taobao or AliExpress for $30 and you're done

[wind pulsar]

I find it horrid that it doesn't even have any formalities, it's just 'You'

[graceful burrow]

As a monolingual, I agree
English fucking sucks

[manic torrent]

also, what I have learned about various forms of chinese is that learning the "language" is one thing, but half their shit is puns - based on how it sounds, possibly how the character looks, possibly based on an unrelated cultural reference. They are actually worse than australians in terms of ridiculous slang.

[vapid zephyr]

It gotta have more formal language because it's funny as shit

At least china doesn't have 5 different names for someone while they are still alive.

[median idol]

I use it as my secret weapon as I can reply back if I hear someone shit talking. Their reactions are like they've seen an alien land on their planet especially when I go to the Arab markets. Though this is more common with the older folks

[vapid zephyr]

I have seen countless people in Germany get threatened with a ticket by police because they said 'Fick Dich' (Fuck you informal) and the guys just rips out 'Ficken Sie sich (Fuck you formal)), it's funny as fuck

[manic torrent]

like russia. Holy balls.

Elon musk really said $\mathbb{X}$

bahahahahahaha. (I studied german for a while, and got ALMOST good at it)

[vapid zephyr]

But in English you can't appreciate that shit because guess what, Sie is you but formal, Du is you but informal, it means the fucking SAME

[vapid zephyr]

Sick, keep at it so you can shit on derBauer in German fashion

[manic torrent]

oh no that was LOOOOONG ago

[vapid zephyr]

Whatever, just say that the Bratwurst is burnt, he'll be terrified

There are so many Arabic dialects that it can sometimes sound like a different language at times. I can't understand anyone from Morocco, Algeria, or Tunisia. I swear it sounds like a different language at times

My dialect is basically the hillbilly of Arabic dialects (Mesopotamian dialect, which is spoken in Iraq and Eastern parts of Syria)

[vapid zephyr]

I shoved her to bed when I woke up, I am to relay

'I was in Pakistan once, that was probably the only time when I wasn't constantly stared at for the sake of my hair and tried to be cuddly with me because of it but because they genuinely thought I was sick and they were worried about me, since they've never seen someone with white hair before, would love to go to the Arabian Peninsula again'

[manic torrent]

[graceful burrow]

Do you or akira have better English

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, she stayed up for two days again bruh

[vapid zephyr]

Vocabulary wise me

[graceful burrow]

Your by the book English is better

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah I have no clue how to compare it and using grades, even if it was from an elite school, is pointless

Especially because we graduated with the same results in English, both 98/100

[graceful burrow]

You both pass as English native speaker anyway

Hell you guys speak better than a good portion of Americans kek

[fierce moth]

Facts

[manic torrent]

Most of the ESL speakers in here are far far better than the average native speakers

[median idol]

There is Egyptian Arabic, it's basically what I call the "American English of Arabic dialects" since it was so widespread for movies, songs, shows, etc.

[graceful burrow]

That's a good name for it

[manic torrent]

The key to communication is understanding people.

[fierce moth]

I tend to spice up my words when I get pissed off, like saying imbecile, rubbish ect

British heritage ig

[graceful burrow]

I just say what I want

[manic torrent]

goddamnit fuck you for pointing out all my english inherited bullshit from my SA early life 😄

English: it's all fucking elitist colonialism classist bullshit.

[fierce moth]

My dads parents were 10 pound poms

[manic torrent]

like you cannot extract colonialism and classism from the language

[manic torrent]

yeah but south australia particularly is english as fuck, comparatively to the rest of australia

I mean, and german, but hey.

[fierce moth]

My mums side is fuck godknows what country

[vapid zephyr]

I can actually pretend to brag since I took a CEFR English proficiency test, a piece of paper says that I am a certified near-native English speaker, since I'm at level C2

[manic torrent]

I want to see actual native speakers take the test

like... not people like me, normal people.

[vapid zephyr]

Of course this shit is limited to British English since Cambridge and shit lmao

[fierce moth]

But my dads side is primarily UK (Britain , Ireland, Scotland and Wales)

[vapid zephyr]

That'd be hilarious

[vapid zephyr]

There's also a huge meme about some dude in Germany calling Angela Merkel 'Angelo Mertel'

Pretty sure that was staged but funny nonetheless

[manic torrent]

haha

[vapid zephyr]

I had an Australian accent also for a very long while
I only just recently got out of it lmao

For some reason out of reflex I go with an Aussie accent

[manic torrent]

I don't have any accent at all. ...... .....

So I picked up that ps2 yesterday, but turns out i can't freedvdboot to mod it, so it's either 20 wires of fun (modchip) or the ole swap trick method

Mine is the Midwest accent. Basically "bo'el of w'er" but with American pronunciation

To an outsider, you will absolutely sound british

Many people from south australia are mistaken for british by americans

[graceful burrow]

You're gonna have to prove that one of these days I don't believe you

[fierce moth]

And we don't have the classic stereotypical Australian accent

[vapid zephyr]

I mean it's true considering you're an inferior version of the Brit-

You can't call them inferior they survived on a hell rock

A fucking hell rock
Fuck everything about living in aus kek

Mine is ofc Michigan (Midwest) accent with a faint Arabic twang. It really becomes more apparent once you hear me say Arabic foods, names, cities, etc

[manic torrent]

I'd much rather be inferior version of british. Have you seen britain lately? shiiiiiit

[vapid zephyr]

You might as well be superior at this point considering you guys are literally the largest non-African gold, iron and name metal here supplier

Being a hellrock has it's advantages

[full fossil]

Nah. Just over protective. It's an open relationship, rules is they have to consult each emothrr before asking someone else out and have to spend equal time with each other.

[full fossil]

Communication be key although if it's an open relationship that means she has equal opportunity to be open with others thus she shouldn't really overstep, protective is just another word for jealousy, it's polished up to be less toxic and more acceptable

Always put yourself first for the first while, don't get yourself splinched into something that's already rotting

Nah she don't get jealous. It's just my bf dated a guy who wasn't the best to date to say the least.. really abusive. That's what I mean by over protective. Doesn't want another one like that dude.

From what I vaguely recall it sort of tasted like Original Pepsi....

But slightly off

Hey guys! I am looking to upgrade from my trusty X230 with an I7 3250m; Its performance is still decent, but its performance in compute heavy workloads has been slowly getting worse. I am searching for something newer on the used market that would have better performance than it; a bigger screen and being a bit thinner would be nice. Do you guys have any recommendations? It doesn't have to be a ThinkPad. Thanks!

[stoic beacon]

I usually recommend waiting for ThinkPad's end of year "clearing out stock" sales they do before new models hit their website. You can get an 11 month old ThinkPad for half the price.

[visual blaze]

I've read some horror stories about new ThinkPads, I'm mostly looking at 4-5 year old modes (something like the Dell E5480), but I don't know if it would be a worthy upgrade

[stoic beacon]

I generally recommend against Dells because of the driver issues they never seem to figure out with their own stuff. I have a 2022 X1 Carbon, a 2021 P14S, and a 2021 T14. They're all amazing.

[trail edge]

i was reading some threads on whether the 1650s or 1060 (6 gb) was better and they seem kinda conflicted

so *i just wonder if vram is more valuable than slight boosts in clock

[stoic beacon]

It depends on what you're trying to do with it. If you're using it for productivity tasks or any game made past 2018, the vram starts to become important. 12GB+

[trail edge]

is the 2gb boost worth it in games like war thunder?

its pretty old but constant graphics updates soo

oh whoops probs shouldve put this in tech chat

[gaunt compass]

ok so guys, kinda a long message, my parents are divorced and i go to each parents house every other week. I have a car and I was wondering what is the best/safest way to take my new pc im going to build to each house. any help is greatly appreciated :D

[fossil frost]

1. microatx or itx if you go desktop, and get a solid case. or 2. a laptop

[stoic beacon]

Use SSDs, no HDDs.
Remove GPU before traveling.
Wrap in a blanket to prevent visual damage.
Try and get a monitor/keyboard/mouse for each place.

All of this doesn't matter if you have a laptop though.

[gaunt compass]

i already have all the pieced to build to pc so laptop is not good for me

so i should remove gpu every week ?

[fossil frost]

and as ethan said, SSD, no spinny media at all... and yes, have a set of peripherals at each place, makes it loads easier. gpu removal is not required as long as you are not throwing the pc about and are careful with it

[stoic beacon]

It's generally good to not have it in the PCiE slot, bouncing up and down when you are in the car. You hit enough potholes, it'll mess it up over time.

[fossil frost]

GPU removal for moving, is only really when you are shipping it with a courier who wont look after it

lay the PC on its back, so it bouncing up and down means nothing

[gaunt compass]

like with the glass part facing up?

[stoic beacon]

Yes.

[fossil frost]

yeah, so any bouncing it gets from the road noise, the gpu wont be flexing or trying to escape the socket.. it will just be more in the socket 😄

[fading ridge]

whats a good mouse pad to get

[gaunt compass]

so if i have it laying on the side i wont need to take the gpu out ?

[fossil frost]

yeah

[gaunt compass]

okay, is just like the backseat a good place to put it ?

[fossil frost]

thats where ive put mine, quite a few times

[gaunt compass]

ok awesome

Yes

[pastel timber]

oof, unfortunate T>T

[past egret]

is that really what isekai means

[pastel timber]

my bad for the incorrect spelling

[wind pulsar]

Yes, isekai just means 'Different world', 'alternate world' etc

[mint yacht]

Right, if y'all really feel the need to continue that argument, do so in DMs, or just block each other

[vapid zephyr]

That's way too late of a thing to say chief, they're already done

[past egret]

ive had fun that one

[harsh blade]

Is four monitors too many?

[fossil frost]

for watching youtube, yes, for a software developer or a stock trader, no

[harsh blade]

3d designer?

[fossil frost]

its up to you, if you need it, its not too many

[vapid zephyr]

Impossible to say, it's solely based on your own preference

[chrome vector]

I don't know what's going on but I want to argue, too. You father is a baboon and your mother smells of donkey

[harsh blade]

I'm try8ng to figure out the best setup for me

[past kernel]

i mean, i dont know many IDE's that need 4 seperate monitors

[past egret]

for maya alone, i have 4 viewports open at once at least

so no i guess

[vapid zephyr]

That'll be trial and error alright, but you can surely just start off with two or three monitors and just get another one if you feel the need

[fossil frost]

2 different IDEs, 2 terminal windows, 2 browser windows, and several other things, that need to be visible at the same time, especially when debugging

[past egret]

not including graph editor, camera views, node editor... youd need a good few of monitors

[vapid zephyr]

I was staff of a Gmod DarkRP server whose developer defended his five monitors to death, so I believe it

[past kernel]

why do you need all that visible at once

[past egret]

or you could do the normal person thing and just get 2, one for viewports and one for general

[past kernel]

right?

im not speaking from inexperience here either, ive done my fair share

[fossil frost]

because when im working, i need to be able to see certain information, quickly, and switching round windows, switching between different things, messing about all the time... eats up time in the day, derails the train of thought... the more instant i can get access to the things i need access to, the better.

[vapid zephyr]

According to the guy I was talking about, he feels a placebo effect where he feels like he can work much faster than him having to click on each icon to pop it up again

So yeah, preference

[past kernel]

so i was probably not working in ideal circumstances then

that makes more sense

[fossil frost]

working on a very large solution, very very large solution... across different languages, different parts of architecture, requring different things to be ran and debugged at the same time to allwo for hunting down of things... requires you to be able to see a lot of things at the same time, and when the company you work for is a multi-billion company, and they pay you a significant amount of money, the cost of 4 monitors is far outweighed by the money they save from those seconds per day, that adds up over time

[misty scarab]

Gas is up again

3.89 now

[past egret]

get a hybrid

or a high mpg car

[fossil frost]

or, realise that you dont live in europe, especially not in the uk... so your prices are less than half of what im paying

[misty scarab]

Ah yes let me just pull that much money out of my ass

[past egret]

:D

[past kernel]

just get a couple of car batteries, ziptie them together, then ziptie a generator onto your timing belt or something

[fossil frost]

i pay the equiv of $6.85 right now

[past kernel]

bam, hybrid

[misty scarab]

That doesn't matter. You guys are used to paying more all the time, for us this is expensive.

[past egret]

or just walk, oh wait, car dependent infrastructure

[misty scarab]

This is like American Internet, you call our Internet expensive but it's just normal

[past kernel]

wormholes

[past egret]

you can help make it not normal

[misty scarab]

How

[past egret]

vote

[misty scarab]

Voting doesn't change the price of Internet lol

[past kernel]

or we could just make stuff not 70 miles away from residential areas

[past egret]

start small, it will eventually

[past kernel]

but wormholes are cooler

[fossil frost]

it does, and has... enough people pushing for cheaper internet, will make it a political issue, and then the politicians who are desperate to get votes, will want the cheap internet vote

[past egret]

ah yes i will tear the fabric of spacetime to go to woolies

5 minute walk

[misty scarab]

Not really

[past kernel]

easier than walking

[past egret]

i had this sci fi idea of using the higgs particle as a hyperdrive concept

since the higgs particle give things weight, if we made space ships and its occupants weightless, would we travel in speed of light?

thats a great concept that

for sci fi i mean

[hollow wasp]

75 degrees celcius safe for mining?

[fossil frost]

no, you will burst into flames

[past egret]

75 degree celcius?

or fahrenheit

[past kernel]

if, and only if that was possible as described, in theory it should be faster than light

[hollow wasp]

celcius

[past kernel]

since things with no mass, or nothing in this case, is lighter than photons

[past egret]

instead of the dumb movie magic in movies and games, i could finally explain hyperspace travel with that, if i write a movie/book/game

[past kernel]

and the less something weighs, the faster it can travel

without it being destroyed that is

[past egret]

note to self: higgs field travel

[mint yacht]

A photon particle has mass
A photon wave does not

Light is weird

[past egret]

light is both a particle and a wave isnt it

[mint yacht]

Yes

[past egret]

this universe is fucked up

who made this thing

[past kernel]

probably some 5th dimensional beings pet project that he's left running in his basement

that would explain alot though

Hello all! It's been a long time since I've been on this chat.

[dreamy rose]

hi. welsome to brain rot

[heavy steppe]

sure

[green forge]

Hey I need y'all's opinion.
I got a free bookcase furniture piece off somebody second hand, and when I got there, he also gave me a free Xbox 360, KinectV1, two controllers, and 6 games + accesories.
Now I'm torn on what I should do with it.
On one hand, it looks nice, and maybe might use it every now and then rarely, also like hoarding tech. On the other hand, I could flip it online so I can buy things I definitely will use, most likely equipment i need for my hobbies.

What would y'all do?

[heavy steppe]

done 👍

[blazing orbit]

and now, a video for deaf people

[long briar]

if you're hacky, jailbreak the Xbox. If you need the cash, flip it

[dreamy rose]

man, if you didn't want it i'd take it off you. but i'm sure it'd be expensive to ship it

i wanna go back to the 360 sometime soon and my childhood one is buried at my Nans place.

[green forge]

I mean, it is mint condition. But shipping is going to be more than it's worth buying for tbh.

[dreamy rose]

i should probably go rescue it. along with the PS3.

[dreamy rose]

well i'm in australia. so if you are other way around the world then yeah.

[green forge]

did consider jailbreaking, but rather keep it unmodified

[dreamy rose]

which model is it?

[green forge]

Ope, yeah, that's definitely not worth the shipping cost.

[green forge]

360 Slim (non-E model)

[dreamy rose]

oh nice thats the one i had.

oh yeah. you could replace the hard drive in that with an SSD. seems pretty easy. might not yield much benefiet but it might be a nice upgrade.

[green forge]

mhm!
Personally, I had the E model. But I always wanted the non-E one because it looks cooler

true true

it does come with the basic 250gb hdd i think?

[regal trail]

how can i check thermal throttling

[green forge]

Have Xbox Live services been ended or been announced to end?

[green forge]

If modern Intel CPU. Intel XTU.
If AMD CPU, idk actually.

if a laptop. it is thermal throttling

[dreamy rose]

i'm pretty sure they would be down somewhat, i think you might be able to buy stuff on the store still.

[regal trail]

Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) ?

IT SEEMS u have lots of knowledge https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1133542042648203466 plz help

[dreamy rose]

seems its actually still up but some game servers are down

[green forge]

Would be interesting if they just... kept the live servers on for as long as MSFT exists. But likely a security risk considering they will get outdated at one point or another.

[green forge]

Yup

[dreamy rose]

yeah. seems like they wanna keep it up with no end.

thats the exact opposite to Sony and Nintendo

Wii shop/Wiiconnect24 and PS3s online stuff being killed off already.

the original Xbox however was deprecated in 2010.

[green forge]

That would actually be amazing

[dreamy rose]

if they do the same with the Xbox One then everyones happy.

cause as soon as the PS5 Released PS4 was getting features Axed

[green forge]

I mean, Xbox 360 was the popular console of the generation. maybe MSFT decided it was worth keeping online due to its legacy.

[gaunt compass]

guys halp pls

[dreamy rose]

instead of asking just give the problem

[green forge]

Xbone, I can safely assume it most likely won't get killed. From what I've seen, the live services are pretty much identical between Xbone and XBS X/S

[gaunt compass]

my motherboard has a cover over where the cpu goes should i just take it off ?

[green forge]

yeah

[gaunt compass]

ok also my cpu is the ryzen 7 is there a safe way to hold it ?

[dreamy rose]

thats for pretection during shipping. you take that out and keep it around, along with the box. incase you need to RMA the board

[dreamy rose]

7000 or 5000?

[gaunt compass]

7000

so when i flip the cover off, should i flip it back down when i install the cpu ?

[green forge]

take the cover off

[dreamy rose]

don't touch the pads, and don't wriggle the CPU around in the socket. you should be fine if you follow that.

[gaunt compass]

it doesnt come off it just pulls up

[gaunt compass]

whats the pads ?

[dreamy rose]

when you open the socket the cover should come up, and then you close it on the CPU adn it should pop out iirc

[gaunt compass]

ohhhh okay

[dreamy rose]

on the bottom of the Ryzen 7. they make contact with the Pins in the socket

[gaunt compass]

so its ok to pick it up from the top ?

[dreamy rose]

thats how you are supposed to hold them yes.

[gaunt compass]

ok tysm

[dreamy rose]

from the heatspreader. if you live more dangerous the sides with the substrate

they should give u a plug which will give u a lil tool called an ISO. you flash that onto a USB, and install it on your computer to counter-hack the hacker.

[quartz thorn]

I pressed WIN key+F and made reports

[dreamy rose]

no, if you want to counter hack the hacker you download this https://endeavouros.com/latest-release/

[quartz thorn]

I do not wish to hack...

I would suggest that if you know what you're doing. Otherwise, if you don't know, you might counter-hack yourself while installing steam proton. cough cough

[quartz thorn]

I'm not going to hack anyone or anything

[dreamy rose]

that was PopOS not Endeavor. you wont have that happen to you on Endeavor or anything else for that matter unless your stuff is hella old

[dreamy rose]

Endeavor is not for hacking. dont worry

You see this is what i initially thought too but it’s important

[dreamy rose]

hold on, what are you trying to do right now?

[green forge]

december 24th 2021. First time I ever had an SSD, sped up my Precision M4800 by a lot. By March 2022, I managed to cop a VR headset, and my father brought me a Lenovo laptop that literally had a copper sheet for a "heatsink". Knowing my sister had an HP laptop with a GTX 1650, and really, at most uses it for youtube and schoolwork, I convinced her to swap laptops.

[gaunt compass]

look in the tech support thing i sent pictures

please

[dreamy rose]

i got one of these cheapo laptops from my school that had a Celeron N3350, i opened it up to see it in fact had Passive cooling, but the worst part was i could see a fat fingerprint stained on it.

either way that thing lasted 2 months before the battery shit the bed and now it belongs to my mum.

[green forge]

ah yes

the laptop of dubious provenance. 100% guarantee you it came with a dinky lil cooler, and at some point, someone removed it

gosh I need a new keyboard

I've had this 20 USD mechanical keeb i brought off goodwill a few years ago and uhh

the windows key crapped out a few weeks ago. so i.... mapped the meta key to the insert button.

csgo does usually bring along a case of TILT, symptom: keyboard smash so its entirely possible yes

[dreamy rose]

if its not the keyboard its probably windows

windows is to blame for issues 90% of the time

I hope now that Linus has made the perfect screwdriver, he also starts work on the perfect shovel and rake

[steep girder]

Gotta love Android phone OEM who makes OLED screen and makes darkmode background 64,64,64. But rest assured regular mode is full 255,255,255 background. Can't have anything less than white. God forbid

[fierce moth]

I want a ltt multimeter /j

[steep girder]

(Then I have to freakin root the phone so it preserves its own arse)

[full fossil]

barely getting 300 fps on fortnite with a 12700k and 6900xt on all low RIP
might reinstall windows

[fallen rover]

You know that's actually a good idea. He can make like a multimeter that has extended cables that can test the stuff you wanna test far away from the device so you avoid electrocution

Basically, Linus can make a safer way to use a multimeter

[graceful burrow]

I would so super not buy a multimeter from ltt

[fallen rover]

I would if it's good quality like the screwdriver

[steep girder]

Real multimeter has plug for modular terminals

[fierce moth]

I would just get a multimeter made by fluke

[steep girder]

But you're still gonna end up having to make contact somehow

[fierce moth]

Fluke is the cream of the crop

[fallen rover]

I'd buy one if it was tested by Alex

[steep girder]

If it's tested by electroboom good enough

[fallen rover]

Nah, it might just shock you haha

[fierce moth]

The closest I would get to a ltt multimeter is to slap on a sticker of linus' face or the ltt logo onto a fluke multimeter

[fallen rover]

The closest I'd get to one is if Linus designed it in a very special way that he designed the good screwdriver in, along with Alex testing and checking if it's safe for use by anyone who has some knowledge of electronics

Also would be cool if the cables were on a roll so you can extend them as much or as little as you wanna when testing stuff

And an ohm beep meter to signify there's a contact between cables

And overload sirquirty protection

To prevent it from making people have shock

[graceful burrow]

ok

[fierce moth]

It wouldn't get as many sales as the screwdriver, cause multimeters only makes sense in a few situations, mainly electricians

[graceful burrow]

Anyway

[fierce moth]

I'm a sparky and flukes are the go to brand for multimeters, who's gonna get some unknown brand to measure voltages and stuff with their life on the line

It may be as good as it wants, but you still not gonna get past that unknown company factor

[fallen rover]

Circuitry*

[fallen rover]

It would because my grandpa uses one every day to check the voltage in the outlets of the house

[graceful burrow]

Why is he checking voltage of the outlets every day

[fallen rover]

LTT is not an unknown company, and they have tight tolerances because they deal with fine electronics that are easy to break

[fallen rover]

Because he logs the variations across seasons and reports any deviations to the power company he gets the power from

[graceful burrow]

He sounds annoying to the power company

[fallen rover]

Yeah he doesn't pay for stuff that's not up to his standards

[graceful burrow]

Neurotic people are the worst to deal with

[fierce moth]

Try telling that to 40+ y/o sparkys

[fallen rover]

He really isn't. Back in the 60s through to the 2010s, he worked as an an engineer

So he knows his stuff even though he's out with pention

Pention is like pay you get after you stop working due to old age btw

We know

[wispy marsh]

Hello

[fallen rover]

Good. When you get to your 20s, you'll realize everything isn't worth paying for bc some stuff is not made with quality

Best thing my grandpa ever thaught me

He was a good man

[graceful burrow]

I'm in my 20's my guy

[fallen rover]

Good health
No problems

[fallen rover]

Exactly why he was making 100k at your age while you're just on Discord dissing LTT for making good products

[graceful burrow]

Why are you so aggro

I didn't even diss any ltt stuff
I just said I wouldn't buy a multimeter if ltt made one lmao

[fallen rover]

Aggro? No idea what that means. You're using words that don't even make any sense. Let that sink in

[graceful burrow]

This has to be the worst fake bait ive seen in a while man
Hope you can get that sorted, have a good one

[fallen rover]

Bait? I haven't fished in like 7 years

[stray epoch]

does anyone know how to update microsoft flight sim

[green forge]

Competing with Fluke is not a good idea

[stray epoch]

my version is like 2 years old

[green forge]

unless u know how to design a very good multimeter

[graceful burrow]

We cannot help with that, buy the game

[stray epoch]

i already own the game

[green forge]

that has strict QC and complies with standards

[graceful burrow]

So download it

[stray epoch]

i do smart one im asking how to update it

[graceful burrow]

We can't help you with cracked games here

[stray epoch]

its not cracked it was autocorrect

[fallen rover]

Considering the success of Linus' well-made screwdriver, I think they can make a good multimeter

[graceful burrow]

Then the platform you downloaded it from will serve you an update
If it's not serving an update, contact the platform's support

[stray epoch]

enough technician

[graceful burrow]

That's the answer bud, sorry

[fierce moth]

🤦

[green forge]

I can help you
run powershell PS C:\Users\dazzl> winget install Mojang.MinecraftLauncher
and it should update your cracked minecraft

very shrimple process indeed

[graceful burrow]

Yeah minecraft that's what they were talking about mhm

[green forge]

wait what

[stray epoch]

guys hes harrasing me

[graceful burrow]

So call a mod

[stray epoch]

mods ban this guy

[fierce moth]

[graceful burrow]

Yeah mods ban the guy asking for cracked game updates

[stray epoch]

mods hes assuming my gender and pronouns

[green forge]

...okay i think i need sleep now 💀
Have been awake since yesterday 10am

[fierce moth]

You could be assuming his gender and pronouns

How rude

[stray epoch]

i go by it/they

[median idol]

[stray epoch]

you just assumed its gender too

[green forge]

soon will go by was/were if you get the 🔨

[stray epoch]

be careful

[fierce moth]

I'll think he'll let it slide for me

[graceful burrow]

<@&750150305383186585> asking how to update cracked games, shitposting after we told them no

[fallen rover]

C:\Users\Seanrothforman\AppData\Roaming.minecraft

On my device it's under this directory

[green forge]

don't need to go to the minecraft directory

[stray epoch]

i think you got the wrong guy buddy no cracked games in this chat!

[indigo plume]

new sony ear buds are so overpriced

[green forge]

winget install Mojang.MinecraftLauncher```
basically installs the vanilla mc launcher no matter what directory ur in

[indigo plume]

who the helll is paying 300 for ear buds

[green forge]

Do a funny, buy Truthear Zeros or Hexas instead \o/

[indigo plume]

cracked games arent allowed ?

[green forge]

not here

[fallen rover]

C:\Users\Seanrothforman\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\versions

Ah okay, I see. Mine are usually in this, there are like multiple versions installed by the default launcher

[green forge]

or any guild, per Discord's ToS

[indigo plume]

thats weird

[fallen rover]

There's also a folder for mods, but I don't use that one

[green forge]

ah fair.

[indigo plume]

sony actually making ear buds more overpriced than apple that crazy

[green forge]

both are overpriced tbh

mfw apple sells 3 digit USD earbuds that still sound awful whenever you use both microphone and earbuds at the same time

[fallen rover]

Maybe it's to save power?

[green forge]

no not really

[fallen rover]

Cause I have a Marshall speaker plugged into the outlet and it turns itself off after some time to save power

[green forge]

Bluetooth specification limitations. But Apple is the kind of company to create a new standard whenever they have a problem to solve.
i.e. USB-C, Apple helped a lot with the design and publishing the specification. Or TB3, Apple collaborated with intel to create TB3 and integrate it with USB-C

[graceful burrow]

Soon apple users will finally get to use usb-c

[green forge]

the inherent design of how blutooth works limits bandwidth and impacts latency heavily

[green forge]

BAHAH when you put it that way-
that's hilarious

other manufacturers years ago: "is for me? 🥺 👉👈"

[indigo phoenix]

And of course if they did implement their own standard, the entire tech world would be screaming and crying about how they're not playing nice with others

[green forge]

Depends on how they go about it

If they do it the same way they did with USB-C and TB3, no one's gon have a problem

other than with the OEMs who half bake support for it into their own products

pov: TB3/USB4 devices that don't support full functionality

Anywho, off to sleep I go. I alr spent all night last night doing a stupid lil drawing. I aint staying up another night for no reason at all.

Well, actually, I do have classwork due at some point this week. But that's a problem for later me

gnight yall

[wind pulsar]

The one that will utilise USB 2.0 speeds and charges at 5w unless you use Apple certified cables and chargers cough

[graceful burrow]

Hey its not my fault apple sucks

[wind pulsar]

[spice raft]

Does anybody happen to know where in ios 16 settings I could enable my mail to show people's actual email addresses so I can see if it is a hacked or sketchy email service or not? only things i see about it is saying to open the message to see it but I ain't touching that with a 30 ft pole.

[indigo phoenix]

Thankfully I've got tons of MagSafe stuff everywhere, but also a ton of USB C cables. Though I'll be sad having to swap out and reroute a bunch of Lightning cables

[full fossil]

Is there any emulation out there that can handle darwin/lin/win simultaneously, 3 OS archs directly manageable from a single plat

[wispy marsh]

My 12W iPad wall plug will charge my devices at 5w using the lightning cable.

The same 12W plug charges my devices at 12W with a random usb A-to-C cable and a Lightning adapter.

I don't know how it feels unequally made, but there seems to be Lightning 12W (USB 3.0), Lightning 12W (USB 2.0) and Lightning 5W (USB2.0)

(The only device that does USB 3.0 on Lightning is the 2015 iPad Pro.)

All other Lightning devices seem to be using the 23yo usb 2.0 standard

[full fossil]

for a ram fan could i have one blowing under it lol my aio tubes are in the way

wrong chat

[wispy marsh]

Anywhere you want

[wispy marsh]

If it's a bcc, I don't think you can. It's one of the shit features about messaging and email contacts that let people hide their email so they can abuse it to spam you.

[pliant karma]

So replaced the the ear pads on my Hifiman headphones today lol…it was a tad painful but they’ve been replaced

[wispy marsh]

There are times I get a message or email with just a contact and ZERO email or numbers

I wish that wasn't a thing

[pliant karma]

Old pads I had for year but right side started ripping so might as well replace both sides but keep the intact left side as a spare

[wispy marsh]

I want the EditionXS

[pliant karma]

I do want new headphones but not now maybe later lol

[spice raft]

i had to switch so i could contact my dad overseas, not really liking the features if they boast about privacy and security and they don't have any basic stuff

went from a pix 5

[merry gull]

how do i purposely get kernel panic on my android devices

[pliant karma]

Hmm yea looks like Schiit Heresy amp can do 600ohm headphones without a problem....perfect lol I know my next plan

[wispy marsh]

Hifiman Ananda*

[pliant karma]

👀 lol yea theyre on my list future purchase

and then perhaps I can do that schiit stack for the hell of it but I have to look into that

[wispy marsh]

Tomorrow comes today

[neat gull]

Is my NVME m.2 first gen? It says NVME 1.4 PCIE 4x4

[granite tinsel]

heard the EU scared them out of that plan

[wispy marsh]

https://pcisig.com/pci-sig-releases-pcie®-40-version-10

https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-the-m2-specification/

[indigo phoenix]

AFAIK it wasn't even confirmed to have ever been the plan

Someone just brought up that they could be considering it

[wispy marsh]

They won't do it on the cables. They'll do it on the battery management unit

[graceful burrow]

They already got answered in tech chat 1 because crossposting is cringe

[wispy marsh]

"Apple-certified charging cables ensures a consistent 480mbps, device-dependent charging experience."

[graceful burrow]

That's usb 2 kek

Very sad

[wispy marsh]

That's the speed of the current USB-C ports on non-thunderbolt iPads

[graceful burrow]

Apple try not to gimp their users experience challenge

[wispy marsh]

Well

It facilitates sales of the "effortlessly manageable" iCloud

[graceful burrow]

I repeat
Apple try not to gimp their users experience challenge

[wispy marsh]

That tactic is not wrong because it syncs across all of your Apple devices

It's not about the speed of transfer

[graceful burrow]

What if I don't own a billion apple devices

What if I only own one

[wispy marsh]

It's how much money they can milk from you, even if you buy an expensive high-speed portable storage device from their website

[wispy marsh]

That's the thing - you either own multiple or you don't

[graceful burrow]

That's stupid

That's the point I'm making

[indigo phoenix]

But when you do... it's great 😄

[graceful burrow]

I don't have a billion dollars to give to a company that only cares about money and shafting it's users

[wispy marsh]

The way they stealthily coerce into buying more of their stuff is more toxic than the League community

But, it's a much better experience than the League community

[indigo phoenix]

I've come to the point where I've realized that I'm going to have multiple devices no matter who makes them... so I'd rather have multiple devices that work well together than have multiple devices that only sorta work okay together.

This isn't viable for everyone of course, some people have to use Windows

[wispy marsh]

^

[indigo phoenix]

I'm in the minority for sure

[graceful burrow]

If I could swap to Linux full time I would

[wispy marsh]

If all of my directX games work on the Mac, you'd bet I'd just use Mac

I don't have to manually interfere in much to get my Apple devices up and working

For the majority of the time, I also don't have to manually interfere in much to get my Apple to keep working

That's how I'm arguing with you instead of trying to fix my bluetooth stack for the eight time

[vapid zephyr]

100%
Using macOS is a much more refined experience in almost every single way

Luckily Vulkan works on macOS so we might see something in the future

[wispy marsh]

[graceful burrow]

Proton for Mac would be legit

[indigo phoenix]

I use it exclusively for server stuff now, but daily drove Linux (mostly elementary OS and more recently Fedora) for about six years. So many things I love about it, especially systemd and all the filesystem support. Being a Mac user... launchd is okay but systemd is waaaay more straightforward.

[dreamy rose]

how's window management going on mac?

[wispy marsh]

If you don't give apple their Appstore Tax, you are most likely not getting shit. End of story.

[dreamy rose]

it was a thing.

[graceful burrow]

I use nvidia gpu

[indigo phoenix]

Ahhh

[graceful burrow]

Don't care, didn't ask

[graceful burrow]

Also Adobe apps don't work well on Linux

Otherwise I'd be there

[vapid zephyr]

https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/7/23752164/apple-mac-gaming-game-porting-toolkit-windows-games-macos Hm

[dreamy rose]

its Adobe what do you expect?

[vapid zephyr]

I see it as a good enough effort for now

[stray apex]

why help adobe apps run even worse

[dreamy rose]

them trying to replicate proton by using WINE,

[stray apex]

adobe can barely be assed to get their shit to work well on windows, let alone linux

[wispy marsh]

The utmost lack of care they have put into that porting toolkit exemplifies my exasperation

[graceful burrow]

Proton is built ontop of wine dingus

[tired thorn]

Anyone have a 40 dollar pc build

[graceful burrow]

Ye

[dreamy rose]

is that not what i said? they are tryina remake Proton with WINE.

[tired thorn]

OMG FINALLY THANK YOU

[graceful burrow]

No, it's not what you said at fucking all lmao

[wispy marsh]

A sim card is not a pc build

[graceful burrow]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/175804378246

[indigo phoenix]

Yeah, it's a shame. I hope at some point that changes. I know one photographer that does all her stuff with OSS stuff like Darktable, Rawtherapee... But personally I just could not do that. I respect that they found a way though!

[vapid zephyr]

I won't diss them for it for now, people gotta start somewhere. Considering how ratshit the performance without using that kit is, it's clearly not as easy to just run games on mac

[wispy marsh]

Intel atom

[tired thorn]

Im trying to upgrade from a pentium

[vapid zephyr]

Tbf they didn't say anything about 'useable'

[graceful burrow]

It is what it is

[dreamy rose]

hhh. this is pointless, you know damn well that's what i said.

[tired thorn]

Guess im too broke

[graceful burrow]

It isnt
Stop replying

I don't care what you said vs what you meant

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, they've done their contribution to that 1% code referencing SoC functionality

[graceful burrow]

I'm not out here to play super sleuth for you

[vapid zephyr]

Ey, that's more than Nvidia contributing to open source

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that too I got into photography and I wouldn't be able to use my scanner at all on Linux

[tired thorn]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/334936090604?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bi4jc50pqbg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wakszyfgr1w&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[graceful burrow]

Hey they released open source nvidia Linux drivers
Too bad they're worthless

[vapid zephyr]

Was about to say, at least Apple's kit works, Nvidias may or may not work with a coinflip lmao

[indigo phoenix]

Yeah AFAIK the only thing the new open source drivers do is just move all of the actual driver stuff onto firmware and just makes the userspace stuff OSS

[candid helm]

Hi, guys, what's the best place to search for product suggestion for LTT/TechLinked to review?

[graceful burrow]

Email the youtube channel's linked email if you want to suggest something

[vapid zephyr]

Mail their contact in their YouTube channel description

[dreamy rose]

Apple NEVER Contributed Anything to open source, yet they sure use it. for a 3 trillion dollar company you could assume they have the ability to. make it from scratch no?

[candid helm]

@graceful burrow @vapid zephyr email who?

[vapid zephyr]

Bro, I never said anything about them contributing to open source

Stay OOC mad as the gmod darkrp kid community likes to say

[candid helm]

In case I wasn't clear: there's a product I'd like to suggest for LTT/TechLinked to review

[indigo plume]

Herman miller really becrobbing ppl MFS paying 2k+ for a chair

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia have, they used to be decent about linux but not anymore.

[vapid zephyr]

Who gives a fuck what they did in the past if they're doing ratshit now

[graceful burrow]

...
The youtube channel
Linus tech tips or techlinked

Like we said

[vapid zephyr]

You go to their channel page, click on 'about' and then email their business email

[dreamy rose]

who should give a fuck about what apple did in the past when they aren't making good products now.

[stray apex]

apple products are fine?

like, I'm pretty sure they're doing better than everyone else right now somehow

[dreamy rose]

are you really happy paying like 100 dollars for 8GB of RAM?

[graceful burrow]

A company doing well financially doesn't mean their products are good lmao

[stray apex]

that's a problem with the market in general, not macbooks

[dreamy rose]

prime example: DELL

[stray apex]

Doesn't dell have excellent enterprise support

[indigo plume]

What wrong with dell

[dreamy rose]

how are they STILL pumping the same shitbox covered in plastic for 4K years later,

[indigo plume]

Dell has good monitors No?

[stray apex]

have computer components gotten cheaper?

[dreamy rose]

this is what i'm referring to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8kprUGy57E

[graceful burrow]

Dell doesn't make the panels that go in those
Dell uses AUO, LG, and Samsung make the panels

[stray apex]

I'm just going to assume it's steve complaining that a prebuilt is bad

[indigo plume]

Alienware has good high end monitors

[vapid zephyr]

Because it sells
-FIN

[indigo plume]

I mean apple don't make their screens either

[dreamy rose]

Alienware R15. the plastic covered hotbox turd.

[graceful burrow]

Dell owns Alienware
Which means what i said still holds true
Dell doesn't manufacture the most important and integral part of the product

[graceful burrow]

What's that gotta do with it I'm not talking about apple

[indigo plume]

My point is alot of companies out source shit

[graceful burrow]

So that gives them a pass huh

[indigo plume]

I don't see a problem with it

Even if Samsung makes the panels so what

Considering the monitors are better than the ones Samsung makes

Atlesdt from what I've seen

[dreamy rose]

if literally anyone can go get the same Samsung panel then the monitor could be just as good or better, i don't know what specifics go into the rest but the screen is the main part made by another company.

[indigo plume]

Well either way alien wear has some of best monitors on market

[vapid zephyr]

Make them? No
Do they design and develop them on their own now? Yes

I'd say that's a pass to call it 'making their own screens' now

[dreamy rose]

where are you finding clothes for aliens?

[indigo plume]

Haha so funny

[dreamy rose]

either way doesnt excuse the PCs

[indigo plume]

All prebuilts are overpriced so I don't really care

They all a scam

[potent marsh]

Did you want to finance with you overpriced PC

[dreamy rose]

true but having an "Improvement" being performance on par with stock, at 4000 DOLLARS, this is just fucking stupid,

[vapid zephyr]

Considering Starforge prebuilts exist, that's already not true
To a certain degree it's just dumb to compare prebuilts with custom builds

[indigo plume]

Starforge is overpriced wdym

[vapid zephyr]

But obviously that's a totally understandable thing to do because you don't really have a prime example of what something should cost like

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, they're alright
They're the most reasonably priced well-known SI I've seen so far

[dreamy rose]

Replace Starforge with Nvidia and you get the GPU Market
