also what the fuck is "don't answer to answer". don't ask to ask is a standard thing and has been for a very long time. I have extensive experience in ffmpeg, and may have been able to help.

[near nymph]

Nice custom LTT driver.

[silent horizon]

you can format to fat32 way further than 4gb

[hallow spoke]

Ik, dont answer to answer is the same as don’t ask to ask, just the opposite

Thought anyone would be able to tell that ngl

Tho good idea I should register that domain

I've been growing my beard out for years. When I shave it I am unironically thinking about doing this for a day

Always wanted to look like this mf'er

[manic torrent]

..... It isn't. What does it mean. You're just being contrarian. It's low effort baitposting

[ember tangle]

i agree with every statement said in this message.

[hallow spoke]

Same

[ember tangle]

[hallow spoke]

[ember tangle]

[hallow spoke]

It’s not, tho not sure why we are arguing about this still

[hallow spoke]

[ember tangle]

aw man :(.

[near nymph]

You can't put a file larger than 4GB onto it is what he means

You can format drives up to 2TB to FAT32

Windows will try to stop you formating stuff larger than 32GB doe

[manic torrent]

Yeah man why argue when you can just spew garbage

[near nymph]

But you can do it on Linux just fine

meh, took a stab at a potential huge payoff, and its fallen flat on its face :S cineworld was trading for £0.00020 a few weeks ago while they were in chapter 11. so i bought £100 worth of stock, hoping that they would bounce back and i would get an easy 10x back... they got delisted today and i get £0 back 😦

didnt pay off this time

[manic torrent]

ah well

[fossil frost]

yeah, sucks, but never gamble with money you cant afford to lose

[manic torrent]

always socialise your losses and privatise your gains

[fossil frost]

need to find me another high risk low cost stock now 😄

[manic torrent]

I want to build a network port-> USB webcam and soundcard that gets streamed raw audio and raw h264 and shoves it down USB.

probably have options for MJPEG and stuff, but h264 would allow me to get the best quality the easiest.

anyway, a project for another day

[late galleon]

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask if this is a decent build, i already have gpu/psu/storage

Intel 15 13600K
Asrock b760m lga 1700 PG lightning
Kingston Fury Beast GB 16GB (8*2) DDR5 5200mhz (black)
Tecware vxn TG v2 Mat Case with 3ARGB fans
Thermalright ULTRA 120 EXTREME rev.4 (black)

[fervent prairie]

Get better ram. At least a cl36 6000 kit please.

[timid meadow]

Also, check the prices against 32gb. When i was looking a few weeks ago, it was only a few bucks more to go from 2x8 to 2x16 of a similar kit

[late galleon]

any recommended brands for ram?

[clear lion]

trident

[graceful burrow]

G.skill makes decent budget stuff across the board tbh

[timid meadow]

Gskill is solid, using their ddr4 in my rig now. Think i got corsair vengence for my buddys ddr5 build but cant remember rn

[late galleon]

it’s G-Skill and trident the same?

[clear lion]

g skill is the company

trident is the ram name

[late galleon]

one more question, any brand/model of ddr5 ram can be used acrossed any ddr5 motherboard right? no specific mobo for specific ram?

[clear lion]

yes

[timid meadow]

Nope, check your motherboard QVL, unless that changed with ddr5

[clear lion]

but intel xmp and amd xmp differ i think

or docp

[timid meadow]

Usually yea, but worth checking ahead of time instead of returning if it doesnt

[late galleon]

meaning some ram is for amd and some is for intel? not all ram would work on both? there are specific ram for intel and specific ram for amd?

what’s xmp if anyone could explain? never had to know all these when i was building mining rigs 😂

[timid meadow]

Not per platform necessarily. Moreso motherboard specific. Sometimes (not sure if it applys to ddr5) intel or amd may like certain skus or speeds more, but any ram should work on team red or blue

[clear lion]

basically runs faster

its kind of overclock for your ram

[wispy marsh]

Manufacturer binning processes have xmp/docp/expo profiles that are tailored for each platform. I can use intel-tailored ram on amd, but tailored profiles may not always work depending on the IMC lottery and it might default to a low jedec setting. By manually tuning speeds, voltages and subtimings, I can always get better performance than any tailored profile.

[dull granite]

is PC hardware like team fortress

there's team red and team blue

[mint crypt]

Guys is getting vinyls from alibaba ok?

[dreamy rose]

[mint crypt]

Yeah

[wispy marsh]

Your beloved linux

[dreamy rose]

Kali is for the edgy who think wearing pitch black in the dark is cool. thats not my Linux.

[timid meadow]

Isnt kali usually like a red team tool, not desktop os?

[wispy marsh]

Because there's no heat emitting component, wearing black in the dark actually is cool

[dreamy rose]

Kali is used by Hacker Wannabe script kiddies, its supposed to be for forensics, pentesting but thats not what majority use it for.

[blazing goblet]

aww i watched the linus let go of the NCIX techtips play button

also apparently there is/was linuscattips

[dreamy rose]

didnt we all know about cat tips?

[wispy marsh]

Not the newcomers

[dreamy rose]

true.

[blazing goblet]

I’ve been watching for probably 4 or so years, but didn’t remember it ever being mentioned

[wispy marsh]

[dreamy rose]

it wasn't really mentioned, I've been watching for about the same stretch of time. watched all kinds of the old videos etc.

[late galleon]

should i get 16x2 or 8x4?

kinda got the greenlight from my dad, for being able to spend a little more

[full fossil]

16 x 2

[graceful burrow]

16x2

[full fossil]

No reason to get 8 x 4 unless you’re just upgrading 8 x 2

[fierce moth]

It's alive!

[wispy marsh]

2x16

Unless you use ddr2 which is 4x8

[wispy marsh]

[fierce moth]

South Australia

[graceful burrow]

Dude I just called him an aussie

[silent horizon]

I guess so ye

[wispy marsh]

Never heard of australia

Is it part of new zealand or

[fierce moth]

Alright let me correct, straya

Or the land down under

[wispy marsh]

That's where the university is

I like that place quite a bit, brisbane

[fierce trail]

Quite busy at times though it is nice

[wispy marsh]

The university of marchael

[fierce moth]

Never been to Brisbane

[fierce trail]

Bathurst is quite cool though it has one of the smoothest roads you could ever drive on 🙂

[wispy marsh]

Even though you've spent 17 years in the same country?

Fair enough

[fierce trail]

SA quite far away from us lol

[fierce moth]

Yeah, always been in south Australia

I live near Brisbane and even I don't go to Brisbane

[fierce moth]

Farthest I've been is kangaroo Island which is still in south Australia

[fierce trail]

Apparently I learnt a few days ago my work is in Brisbane, in a town on the edge of the Brisbane border

[wispy marsh]

You planning to study the university?

[fierce moth]

There's a town in SA called bordertown lol

[fierce trail]

Nah I can't ever its not for me

I do TAFE (certificate thing for qualifications its more practical than uni)

[wispy marsh]

I see. They're a team of like six people

They do good work

[fierce moth]

Tafe is essentially labour skills, like hairdressing, electrical, construction etc

[wispy marsh]

Model aussies, i reckon

[fierce trail]

Essentially yes

I like it though

[fierce moth]

While uni is mostly for boring stuff like law, medical and computer science etc

[fierce trail]

Me rn I'm currently doing a cert 3 IT and might do cert 4 cyber next

Then from there I have no clue cuz I'm working this out as I go

[fierce moth]

[graceful burrow]

First game you need to try is sonic adventure 2 I don't make the rules

[fierce trail]

Reminds me I need to homebrew my Wii at some point

[fierce moth]

Nah I generally try super mario sunshine the test gb player

[graceful burrow]

It'd so easy

[fierce trail]

I do already have a homebrewed Wii in the loungeroom but that belongs to my grandma (her unit I live in currently) so... Not urgent

[fierce moth]

Last mod I did to my gc before the usb C was replacing the old rtc battery

[fierce trail]

But my boss gave me his old Wii and 3DS a while back

Also today my order from LTTStore arrived so I took it to work and my boss called me insane 🙂

[fierce moth]

Welcome to blue name club

[fierce trail]

He wants things like this but then he also doesn't like spending money

[fierce trail]

Thanks I finally moved my linked discord account from my old one

Also my coworker said we should get the GPU plush for the store

[late galleon]

any recommendations of motherboard for i5 13600k? thats not too expensive nor too cheap, supports DDR5

[fierce trail]

Should be any motherboard that supports an LGA1700 (I think?) I'm gonna look cuz I also need a board I want to use my 13900k again 😭

Here's a list (in AUD)

My work and I are also starting to be concerned umart is a grey supplier lol

[fierce moth]

Umart ain't too bad

Although I prefer to get my stuff from msy as it's more local

[fierce trail]

We're just concerned because Umart sells for a hell of a lot cheaper than our other suppliers

Like our suppliers were asking 1800 for a PC and Umart had it for 1100

Tbh I now understand why people don't play games on PC and would rather game on console

[fierce moth]

Gc is running well

[fossil dirge]

The GameCube is a good console

[slim creek]

[full fossil]

No

[fierce moth]

But does the wii have the gameboy player?

[hearty spear]

very few GCs have that, either

I'm mad I got rid of my GC with the GBP I used to have. >.<

[fierce moth]

You don't even need the start up disk if you have a modded system

[fierce moth]

@hearty spear Also observe

[hearty spear]

I play GC Games on my wii lol
with wireless controllers

[jaunty compass]

As far as I can tell, price of the hardware being lower up front, less setup process

[hearty spear]

console gaming is cheaper and less difficult to get into.
PC Gaming has more flexibility and options if you're into that sort of thing (also a larger back library of titles to access)

[bitter girder]

Saw a video and it basically sums up some of my experiences

For example, I wouldn't wanna be my own tech support to play games or even make them run

And that, enjoying games on a couch is much different than playing it on a desk and monitor. Granted it could just be that my chair is a dining chair. But I find the experience different.

[uncut sail]

Since when can u just straight up buy a nicotine product online from ebay and amazon?

[whole swallow]

Yeah, after building a new rig I chucked my old gaming rig in the living room as a Steam box so I can become potate on the couch cause it's just nice to stretch out with a gamepad sometimes

[bitter girder]

It could be great but setting up a console is much easier.

That's a takeaway from the video. Just picking up a controller and booting up a game is much easier than a PC

[fierce moth]

Gb player also works nicely with the usb C mod

[bitter girder]

Even then, I still am not really used to mouse and keyboard controls. I would rather use my controllers for a lot of things

And No I am not gonna install Linux. I think it mostly sucks.

[orchid wagon]

bro this guy in Toasty Bros tech help.. his budget is $1000 and blew it all on 2 radiators and only had enough left for a case and a motherboard

[orchid wagon]

I wish I could afford the LTT screwdriver

[full fossil]

eh if you don't need a screwdriver very frequently, not worth it

[hazy topaz]

Yo I got a 4060 for my first pc build and now I don’t know if I wasted my $ cause everyone says it’s a waste. Did I waste like 24 hours of summer job?

[fossil frost]

i wish people would realise they can get practically the same screwdriver for half the price

[orchid wagon]

except that with this one I would be supporting LMG

[full fossil]

I wouldn't say "waste", there are better options but at least it's not a 4060ti 16gb

[fossil frost]

its only a waste if you couldnt get anything else around the same price, there CAN be better options in the same price range, depending where you live, but not everywhere

and the people telling you its a waste without providing any other information, know fuck all about anything, and are just parroting what somebody else told them without actually bothering to pass on the information

[hazy topaz]

I live in NY 💀

[orchid wagon]

nvidia is acting like that one stubborn kid that's just done with everything

"You want a 16gb 4060ti? Well here you fucking go!"

[full fossil]

at least it's a better value than the 16gb 4060ti

personally I really like the 4060, it's just a bit too expensive

[fossil frost]

too expensive compared to what we are used to in the class, but nvidia are the ones who dictate what the cost of a particular class is...

[orchid wagon]

Ig but at this point in time I've just stuck with AMD for budget builds

Only sacrifice is the media engine

and I guess some technologies

[full fossil]

yup
I went with a 6700 non xt for a reason

[hazy topaz]

Revolt against Nvidia

[fossil frost]

false... the amd media engine is great... its AI that you lose out on right now with AMD

[grand frost]

I mean honestly, since electricity is expensive here, nvidia is actually doing us a favor here, performance is lacking tho

but performance for electricity tho

[full fossil]

how long would the power savings take you to return the cost spent

Store it safely

[steady furnace]

is buying a smartphone off amazon trustworty?

[stoic beacon]

Depends on the smartphone

[steady furnace]

wich ones are safe?

[full fossil]

depends on the seller

[stoic beacon]

The ones that aren't cheap knockoffs. If you buy a Galaxy S23 off of Amazon or a Pixel 7 Pro, you're probably fine. But if you buy some weird brand nobody has ever heard of from a weird seller, you're going to have a bad time.

[steady furnace]

do you know any sellers that are safe

[steady furnace]

note 20 ultra safe?

[fierce moth]

It's on my spare desk

[stoic beacon]

Yes, just check and make sure the seller is legitimate

[fierce moth]

Mostly unused

[steady furnace]

how can i make sure he is?

[grand frost]

check reviews

[south mauve]

my case fans arent spinning but the LED lights up

how do i fix that

[steady furnace]

i spin them with my finger first and then they always turn on for me

might be diffrent in your case

[graceful burrow]

If you have to spin them manually first that means they're broken lmao

Or you're using fans that require more power than your controller/header can provide

[steady furnace]

yeah they are just some cheap old fans 😂

[calm swan]

yes

[modest leaf]

rude

[calm swan]

for how much

[modest leaf]

the fans probably think ur cheap and old

[steady furnace]

how do i make sure its safe?

[steady furnace]

its going for 800 dollars on amazon rn

[calm swan]

thats a ripoff, the s23 is that much 💀

[graceful burrow]

Buy it from the seller "Amazon.com" and not a reseller and it'll be legit

[steady furnace]

where can i find an s23 ultra for that cheap?? 🤔

[calm swan]

the normal s23

[steady furnace]

where are they so cheap??

[calm swan]

which is miles better than the note 20 ultra

[calm swan]

the base price is $799

[steady furnace]

it looks sooo goood tho 😢

[graceful burrow]

I couldn't ever imagine spending that much on a phone when a 3 generation old flagship is just as performant

[calm swan]

itll also have no updates in a year, meanwhile the s23 gets 4-5 from now

[steady furnace]

what about the flip 4 ??

[calm swan]

ehhh its newer but worse camera system if that matters, s23 is a safe bet

[stoic beacon]

S23 Ultra through Google Fi is $700 which is pretty nice

[steady furnace]

what is google fi ??

[graceful burrow]

I bet the Google fi website will tell you

[stoic beacon]

That's something to Google.

Actually, I lied. The S23 Ultra is $600 through Google Fi.

[calm swan]

google carrier

[stoic beacon]

I don't know what Google is thinking, they're selling the S23 for $400, which is $200 less than the Pixel 7. And you'd have to care a LOT about your camera to be willing to pay $200 more for that much less of a phone...

The S23 Ultra is the exact same price as the base line Pixel 7. Why would they do that?

[calm swan]

its a deal, theyll lock u in for 3-4 years

[graceful burrow]

400 for an s23 is a great price

[stoic beacon]

Not even 3-4 years. Just 120 days.

And that's for somebody who is already on Google Fi. This isn't a join offer, they just offer them for that cheap.

[calm swan]

wtf

thats a good deal

[stoic beacon]

Yeah. My wife was looking at a Pixel 7 Pro a few weeks ago, but then we saw we could get S23 Ultra for $300 less, S23+ for $400 less, or S23 for $500 less.

She likes her 5a, but it doesn't hold a candle to an S23

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, they try and make it look all "limited time," but apparently it has been sitting at $400 since March, and the S22 was sitting at $400 for all of the previous year

[fierce moth]

Alright, I gotta find some hand drills, files and sandpaper

The fact that it's still going even now is impressive. My nephews and niece have phones with Tensors in them that are less than a year old that already have 2 hours less usage time than they did when they started, so sounds like you're doing something right. Or OnePlus did

[graceful burrow]

Ignore cannibal, he regularly trolls. iPhones are fine for the price, but buying a previous generation one is usually a better idea, since it can shave 300-400 off

What's wrong with Amazon?

[steady furnace]

im always scared to buy something on the internet idk why

[steady furnace]

i have never bought anything from there so i dont know what to do so i dont get scammed

[bleak compass]

Amazon is great tbh

Just look at the reviews of the product

[elfin solar]

You have already been told. If it is sold by Amazon you are fine.

[bleak compass]

Fr i buy everything from amazon

[graceful burrow]

If it is sold and shipped specifically by "Amazon.com" it's fine

You're gonna create confusion unless you specify

[steady furnace]

how can i see if its from amazon themselves?

[graceful burrow]

not everyone grew up with tech in their house btw

We're talking about something more in depth than just ordering on Amazon kek

[bleak compass]

Not rly

[elfin solar]

If he can’t work it out best to get his mum to help. Not difficult.

[bleak compass]

He was worried he would get scammed ordering on Amazon or something

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, that's becoming more and more likely as Amazon continues to change the platform over into something more profitable.

[bleak compass]

Not really just look at the product and check the reviews it is pretty easy to not get scammed

[graceful burrow]

Mom might know even less
Mine doesn't know shit about the internet

[graceful burrow]

The bottom line is if you see this you're more than likely fine, don't let these assholes harsh your vibe

[bleak compass]

Doesn't really matter if it's sold by them or not

[graceful burrow]

You don't even understand the original question
Useless

[bleak compass]

Just make sure you don't buy from sjdhaknrndjsnnebrkzbwkrbzod267163

[steady furnace]

thank you

[graceful burrow]

Anytime hoss

[bleak compass]

He's ordering a phone on Amazon or something else right?

It doesn't need to be sold from Amazon for it to be legit

Just needs to make sure it isn't some fake ass company

[stoic beacon]

He's located in Iceland, which vastly limits the amount of legitimate sellers.

[graceful burrow]

The convo is over
They got the answer they needed from someone who actually understood the question
Get over yourself

[bleak compass]

😂 Jesus man I think you should get over yourself I was trying to help too

[elfin solar]

Doubt it says Amazon.com. Amazon doesn’t say that here. You confusing him.

[bleak compass]

Besides I'm pretty sure Amazon isn't selling phones?

[pliant karma]

They just keep it in warehouse and when order comes in it ships out.

[haughty delta]

I need help with my streamlabs, my alerts are not working well

[elfin solar]

What is Amazon like in Iceland. Do they have a warehouse, is he importing. Postage. Tax. Etc.

[pliant karma]

I doubt they have any warehouse but don't quote me so amazon just ends up handing it to a local carrier.

[wet siren]

What we sayin lads and gals

[steady furnace]

evrything needs to be shipped and its very expensive + icelandic tax is like very expensive too

[elfin solar]

Okay thought not. Be very careful with ridiculous postage as well. No clue what it is like but tax and postage could make for a bad deal. I’m sure Aldonist just forgot to mention that.

[graceful burrow]

That'd have been a separate issue

[elfin solar]

Postage and tax is a separate issue when buying something. Okay.

[graceful burrow]

With what we were talking about specifically, yes

Like I said
You didn't understand the original question lmao

[elfin solar]

You missed he was in Iceland. No need to keep digging.

[fossil frost]

only in the USA... in many places, tax is part of the price

[acoustic pond]

We should protest taxes in the USA by having like a tea party event or something

...oh wait we did that already

[jaunty compass]

I wonder how much emulation can be done on this 5th gen i7 laptop

[fossil frost]

a lot

[jaunty compass]

I'm not so sure, it's a dual core i7, most laptop chips were back then

But yes it has a GeForce 845m
So around the speed of a 1030

2 GB of gddr5

[fossil frost]

ps2 era easily, probably ps3

[jaunty compass]

And laptop itself has 16 gigs of RAM

Windows itself runs really smoothly actually, and the display is quite nice

I swapped the sshd out of it for a normal SSD and it runs really well

This thing must have been balling back in 2015

[fossil frost]

the main emulator seems... fine https://rpcs3.net/compatibility

"CPUs without AVX2 and with less than 4 cores and 8 threads are expected to run very badly overall" 😄

[graceful burrow]

Rpcs3 is super cpu heavy

[fossil frost]

GPU is AMD HD5000 level GPU... so, while its CPU heavy, CPU usage is almost nothing

[vapid zephyr]

Which only applies to the Pentiums and Celerons then, basically irrelevant

[graceful burrow]

Demon's souls

[graceful burrow]

Good fuckin luck

[jaunty compass]

This thing is a laptop from 2015 and honestly, if it had a battery I might daily drive it

Reminds me of the fake 3DS emulators I would see back in the day

[unkempt widget]

well the one i have is just a packet

and i've always bought instant ramen that are cups

[graceful burrow]

Does the packet not have instructions?

[unkempt widget]

nope, i feel like the makers thought it was self explanatory

i'm running on 3 hours of sleep rn

[errant vector]

Hi

I just signed up for Floatplane, I like it but the UI needs some work.

[unkempt widget]

i felt so tired at like 11pm and i fell asleep the moment i touched my bed

and then i woke up at 2:30

[pliant karma]

did you link your discord account 👀 on FP

to get that cool blue role and access to the cool chat

[errant vector]

Im gonna have to do that

[pliant karma]

anyways looks like panda is going to MC later today maybe so I might pickup an open boxed b550 board to replace the ones in my remote pc which has 2 dead fan headers and a broken usbc port.

[jaunty compass]

It does kinda run some switch games

Links Awakening is definitely playable

[graceful burrow]

You're going to minecraft?

[pliant karma]

microcenter hehe

[jaunty compass]

I'm going to see if I can tweak the power limits on the CPU to make it run a bit better

Because the GPU is only at like 50% utilization and the CPU is hitting its power limit

[fossil frost]

on a laptop, that could just be that its hitting the power budget of the board

Im looking at getting a used tv on fb marketplace because i dont really plan to use the TV all that much, but I currently have two options: 1080p samsung with a sony sound bar and subwoofer, or a samsung 4k with no sound bar. What should I get?

[timid meadow]

Go 4k and wait for a deal on a new soundbar

[edgy moss]

the 1080p listing is 55 inches with the sony stuff for $125

thats the one im currently leaning towards

[timid meadow]

I just dont trust used soundbars anymore. The 2 ive bought have went to shit super quick. Maybe just my luck tho

[edgy moss]

fair enough

[timid meadow]

I changed my google account name to get my real name off youtube. Forgot i use my main email for my employer. My employer now sees my gamertag when i email them. 💀 oh well

[acoustic pond]

is your gamer tag teabagginyomom68 or similar?

[timid meadow]

Nah same as discord

[vapid smelt]

how much is the 4k tv?

[edgy moss]

175

the 1080p combo is 125

[vapid smelt]

this is 2023 no one should buy a 1080p tv

[edgy moss]

90% of my jellyfin content is 1080p anyways

[edgy moss]

also i might not have to lol. the guy just said he was in a meeting with someone trying to buy

[vapid smelt]

thats when you buy a nvidia shield pro to upscale to 4k

[gilded quest]

It's actually hard to buy a brand new 1080p tv

[edgy moss]

unless its pretty small

[gilded quest]

Yeah there's some 30-40" that are 720p and 1080p still, but that's mostly it

If it's 42" or more it's probably 4K

[edgy moss]

I can do a 60 inch vizio for 175 USD or a Samsung 50 inch for 200

both are standard LED models

[bright silo]

also the 1080p TVs are only slightly cheaper than same size entry level 4k screens

[edgy moss]

If the other deal falls through I'll offer $160 for the 4k vizio

[bright silo]

omfg im an idiot, having performance issues, forgot i was plugged into my iGPU while i was troubleshooting an issue... whoops

a silly joke

a non serious gags and a humorous word exchange

is next Ryzen generation the 9000 series or 8000 series

[jaunty compass]

Logically it would be the 8000 series

But these companies don't operate logically so really it could be anything

[acoustic pond]

oh my bad, that comment was a bit "washed" down

[finite cloud]

Surprisingly AMD does seem to go in order

Although they skipped 6000 for some reason and made it mobile only…

[jaunty compass]

Ryzen 4000 series

[finite cloud]

They do have that but it’s only 5 and 3

Looking at Wikipedia, their line up is actually kind of weird

So who knows. We might have an 8000 series but it might not be desktop

[jaunty compass]

Yeah but they were released after 5000 and were worse than the 3000 chips lol

[brave lodge]

Hi

[finite cloud]

wow then i dont even know

[jaunty compass]

I believe the ryzen 5 4500 release on the same day as the 5700x in lieu of the 5600

But the 4500 was worse than 3600 comically enough

[full fossil]

Hello

[jaunty compass]

At least there's any improvement with those

[vapid smelt]

just ignore the fact the 4750g is pcie 3 and not 4 like ryzen 3000

[bright silo]

microplastics are everywhere and not as harmful as you may think

[bright silo]

lots of things you eat or interact with are classified as such, ie cell phones are also on that list

hell me working shiftwork is considered a probable carcinogen because of how badly it messes with your bodies sleep patterns

[graceful burrow]

Cell phones don't cause cancer that's never been proven

There's been no real evidence for it kek

We'd know by now

[bright silo]

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/electromagnetic-fields-and-public-health-mobile-phones#:~:text=The electromagnetic fields produced by,effects of mobile phone use.

I agree that no evidence says it is, im just relaying that being classified as a possible carcinogen doesn't necessarily mean anything

just like lead! it's super helpful and not at all toxic

actually that link is FAR stronger than anything else discussed.

being a shift worker is EXTREMELY bad for you.

Facebook marketplace is interesting

I find that often used marketplaces have a lot of trouble adjusting to dropping retail prices. People tend to pin value to their cost, not against market cost.

I mean, I still have a hard drive in my system that's connected, I just don't use it ever

[rugged kettle]

2TB SSDs are worth a LOT more than $20

less than $100 US

[toxic birch]

speaking of lga1151, i had an old system that i sold to my HS teacher for cheap, and one day he said it stopped booting (Z170 E with a 6600K) and i assumed the mobo died. Spent a month on and off trying to diagnose it and apparently the PSU CPU cable died (non modular).

Ultimately, i had gotten a new motherboard (ASUS Z170 but better. forgot what model it was) and the guy from FB marketplace just gave it to me. originally agreed on $50 but when I showed up he was like, "naw just take it. I had kept it in case someone's mobo would die"

So yeah, ended up building him a whole new system for like $200 and fixing the old one

$23.74 I think... For the 64GB. And even less for the 32GB

[sweet jetty]

70 dollar for a screwdriver minus shipping? I bet

[near nymph]

I need them for my 3d printers. So big deal.

[sweet jetty]

Not bad at all

[sweet jetty]

Oh, I use an SD card for mine lol

[near nymph]

I got higher end machines. Plus SD cards are way easier to loose

[sweet jetty]

Im not spending 400 dollars on screwdrivers man 😭

[near nymph]

[sweet jetty]

Fair enough, I just find them more fun ngl 😭

[brave lodge]

His screwdriver is a scam

[near nymph]

They are not. They are priced fairly when looking at what it's competing with

[sweet jetty]

I won't call it a scam, but it's not for most people, it's for people that can make moneh with it or people that need the features it has

[brave lodge]

I will sell you my dad's whole toolbox with 7 screwdrivers for 180$

[sweet jetty]

I'm not sure your dad will be happy about it

[near nymph]

Look at Snap-On, Wera, Williams, etc.

Sure most people can't justify spending that much on a screwdriver. But Linus is selling a tradesmen screwdriver to y'all. 😂

[brave lodge]

He has not done handiwork in over 5 years

[sweet jetty]

The toolbox we guys have in our place is generational 😭 that shit never breaks, it's crazy

[near nymph]

If you find something overpriced. It's probably not made for you.

[sweet jetty]

True

Except apple products, somehow, they are overpriced af and people want them 😭

[near nymph]

Now... Do I find other LTT merch overpriced? Yes. But that's comparing to other products. Not "I feel it's overpriced"

[sweet jetty]

Touché

[near nymph]

Apple is a behemoth. They make their own markets. The moment they come out with something. Everyone copies

[sweet jetty]

True

[jaunty cairn]

From what I've seen in videos and stuff, if the apple fans are loyal enough, they will pay the high price for the latest apple tech.

[near nymph]

For example. LTT Water bottle was $40 CAD at LTX23. For a 40oz water bottle that keeps my water chill. It's $26.99 off Amazon

[sweet jetty]

I mean, they have the market for it, try being in America without being imessage shamed by one person 😭 and that person never knows anything about phones

[near nymph]

Apple Silicon Macbooks aren't overpriced. They punch heavy in performance. It ain't no gaming PC. But it's a monster at productivity and efficiency

[near nymph]

Statistically. You get less women if you have an Android due to iMessage.

[jaunty cairn]

Tbh, I really want to get an iPhone, iMessage would be nice instead of sms all the time.

[sweet jetty]

I use a hydroflask which was 10-15 buckos cheaper 😭 but if you really like Linus, ig that's why people get that

[sweet jetty]

Im aware, using an M1 pro rn, best laptop I've touched, but apple makes these chips in house, I bet the have serious profits even on the M1 air

[sweet jetty]

That's the best part, I don't need women 😭 I just wanna live in peace sideloading apks

[sweet jetty]

I have an iPhone, it was a gift, only thing I use it for is reliable pictures tbh

[near nymph]

It's about the same price. Factoring in shipping. 😂

[polar fern]

Hmm. Graphics card has become an issue. 😔

[near nymph]

LTT water bottles are Hydroflask level pricing with shipping 😂

[polar fern]

Ltt water bottles are better than hydroflask

[near nymph]

They aren't... 😂 I only have them because free

[sweet jetty]

I have prime, and it was a sale, I got mine for 23€, that's 25 dollars

[polar fern]

I have both but ok

[sweet jetty]

I doubt that

At the end of the day, it's merch, it's not gonna meet the quality of a company that just does water bottles exclusively

[near nymph]

I have both a cheap 40oz water bottle off Amazon and 40oz LTT water bottle. I see no difference. Tested with ice cubes. They melted around the same.

It's expensive but hey it's merch

[polar fern]

I like how you’re just mansplaning vs realising I have both fucking products and years of testing water bottles & cycling products

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, it's a way to support ltt basically

[polar fern]

“But you see, my opinion is definitely more important than your real life experience”

[near nymph]

You saying that to me or...

[polar fern]

In general.

[sweet jetty]

That's true, do you think they're both good in general? Or is there a difference?

[polar fern]

Hydroflask coatings don’t last as long.

[sweet jetty]

Oh

I've not had that experience yet, how long have you had yours for?

[polar fern]

Once scratched the coatings tend to disintegrate off the whole bottle,

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, it mega depends on how you handle it then ig

[polar fern]

My ltt bottle has yet to have any scratches. Coating seems very durable.

[sweet jetty]

That's nice

[near nymph]

I wonder how it's gonna last compared to my Amazon water bottle. Gonna need a few more months to see.

[sweet jetty]

My hydroflask plays well too, it's been 3 years and it's in great shape, maybe depends on how you use it

[polar fern]

Interior on hydro flasks tend to have stuff stick to it more tenaciously.

[near nymph]

I have a Hydroflask tumbler that I got for free. I love it 😂

[sweet jetty]

What stuff are you putting in your water bottles that's sticking? 😭

[pliant karma]

ye agree I use it more then I thought so it has made itself worth it

[polar fern]

For example, the ltt bottle when I use it for tea cleans up with like a paper towel vs the hydroflask which needs a scrub pad

The milk tend to solidify & tea stains near the mouth (this is on any container)

[near nymph]

Now I think of it... almost Every waterbottle and tumblers I've gotten was free... Besides the tumblers I got at Buccees and the one I got from amazon. 🤔

[near nymph]

Good to know. My Herschel waterbottle still smells like Tea 😂

What type of tea you drink?

[polar fern]

A lot of marketing merch water bottles (generic screen print type stuff) are better than hydroflask. It’s odd. Plus the insulation is actually better on the generic ones unless the seal area gets dented which lets air in.

Oh man. What kinda tea? Lots. Many.

[near nymph]

I love my oolong and black tea I have imported from Taiwan

[polar fern]

We have two whole cabinets full of mostly loose tea.

[near nymph]

If I want milk tea... I just use Yorkshire Tea. Its the... It gets the job done in a rush.

But gosh. A nice oolong tea is wonderful. I got one that smells a little milky. It's wonderful

Then I have tea from the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Tibet. 🤣

[polar fern]

During the beginning of the pandemic I couldn’t use my SNAP money online anywhere, so when I finally could I bought like 60lbs of loose tea with the back money off Amazon after a few months of sorting out where best to shop for groceries etc.

Still have a bit left from that too

Was a very good mental health decision.

Actually I think half was stimulus check. I don’t remember.

[near nymph]

Idfk what I'm looking at. My dad gave me his tea collection. It's in Chinese haha

[polar fern]

It’s a lot. My girlfriend’s stuff mixed in with mine.

Bbl

[brave lodge]

i have a macbook

i didnt want a macbook i wanted a windows computer but my mom said no because she wanted something i cant play video games on

im 17 and used my own money it is a load of horse shit

[near nymph]

Tbf... Assuming the Mac you got doesn't have defects in the design. They last a good amount of time

[brave lodge]

i wanted a gaming laptop for college

-_- )=

[sweet jetty]

Huh, did you get an Intel one? My macbook is p good

[cloud sleet]

we should all work together to get the first ltt video to 1 million views https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGJSFTaFJbQ

it only needs like 5k more

[sweet jetty]

Also macbooks tend to last much longer than (most) windows laptops and hold their value better, so you're good

[brave lodge]

No

[full fossil]

macbooks are not bad

[brave lodge]

They are for gaming

All I wanted was to play rocket league.

[full fossil]

can anyone help me in techchat

Tech chat 2

[cloud sleet]

I have to get fuckin parallels every time I want to play my old ass simulator game from 2009

[sweet jetty]

P sure Macs can play rocket league

https://youtu.be/WdQIc69e5oA

Not extremely performant, but it works

[polar fern]

Can’t play games on? Best get an IBM 7090

“Man, my parents have RULES, it’s so lame!!” What do you think will happen once you get your own place? 🤦‍♂️

Be like

[brave lodge]

I guarantee they can’t

[brave lodge]

Yea but I’m not paying that

[sweet jetty]

Isn't it a 100 a year? I'd rather pick up a ThinkPad instead for my windows stuff

[cloud sleet]

I use an older version I got for cheap

[polar fern]

Huh

That’s the first time I had to report a discord server for hate speech.

Software as a service could be construed to be discriminatory against people of lesser economic means & nonprofit organisations.

Will be interesting to see when the lawsuits make headlines.

[eager notch]

Wait? We have to subscribe to the 10 dollar tier to watch LTX videos even if we were at LTX?

[gilded quest]

Steam deck

[finite cloud]

should have gotten a really good chromebook like the framework. you "cant play games on them" wink wonk

also fun fact there is a linux version that works on arm if you really wanna do that

or use parallels. windows on that works decent i believe

or just get a steam deck yeah

[south stone]

🤔 In terms of overall wear, a psu used for 5 years (normal conditions) vs one used for mining for 18 months, which one has longer life expectancy? (supposedly both A tier)

[proud tangle]

where do you guys put your headphones in your ltt backpack? i personally think there should be a carabiner at the top in the tech pocket for them to kinda hang there

[rugged kettle]

Mine are earbuds but I put mine in the pocket on the front

[proud tangle]

yeah i got a couple sets if iem's in there case in the zipper pocket in the pocket that has the water bottle holder, not sure where to put my closed backs so that the earcups wont get an indent from being pushed on for long time periods

[gentle slate]

I just missed my bus since the local retirement home decided to have a group outing and occupied the entire sidewalk

[eager notch]

I mined for about 18 months and I still use the PSUs that I bought for mining in PCs with no worries

[finite cloud]

i dont have one but if i did id put them in the middle section. the one with the 3 laptop holders

[proud tangle]

yeah i would do that but i dont like the earcups being pushed up againsed to potentially leave marks, ganna ask my grandma if she can impliment a more perminate solution

[proud tangle]

#tech-chat-1 message
here is my quick fix

[finite cloud]

oh, do you not use a case?

[proud tangle]

they just came with an egg bag, not a hard case, i have slightly improved it from the picture by looping the cable tie around one of the carabiner zippers

[finite cloud]

yeah i saw that. thats actually kind of smart

[graceful burrow]

You got eggs with your headphones?

[proud tangle]

yeah, scrambled, my least favorite

[graceful burrow]

Damn
Salvage it by putting them in a breakfast burrito

Everyone loves a good breakfast burrito

[proud tangle]

yeah, i want to sew on a loop typa thing above the ltt logo so that they kinda hang instead of sitting inside getting squished, im not sure how ltt didnt think of a place to put headphones, something other that just throwing them in the tech pocket

great backpack though, taking it on its first trip tomarrow

[finite cloud]

i think they assumed you're gonna have flat folding ones in a hard case. which is fair

[proud tangle]

yeah i do have flat folding ones, but i want my audiophile grade headphones on my 4 hour drive, ontop of the 3 pairs of iem's im bringing

[finite cloud]

thats fair. well looking at pictures i dont see a good place to put headphones like that without squishing them

[proud tangle]

yeah, hopefully grandma comes in clutch and can sew something on so i can have them hang

[graceful burrow]

You should learn to sew it's easy and handier than you think

[proud tangle]

yeah, im ganna use this as a learning oprotunity so i can do it right next time i want to do something like this

[graceful burrow]

Pog smart

[proud tangle]

and i get to spend time with grandma

[graceful burrow]

Always gold

I miss that

[proud tangle]

yeah, i need to do it more, once a month at least typa thing

[lilac bone]

is 11th gen or 13th gen better

[proud tangle]

13th

[graceful burrow]

13th and it isn't close

[hidden hill]

Thanks Colton! (a mini story from LTX)

At the Whale LAN I was sitting furthest right, at the end of my table near the merch booth. I was trying to do flick shots and the table cloth kept bunching up.

Colton walks by and asks "what's going on dude? You don't look like you're having a good time, we're all supposed to be having a good time!" and I chuckle and say I'm just getting frustrated from the tablecloth, asked if there was a $5 Linus Face mousepad over at the merch booth I could grab off of him.

Absolute CHAMP says "yeah man hold on a sec", goes to the back and brings me out the Vancouver mousepad 💖 says "get me back in the morning"

8am comes, instead of asking for the mousepad back Colton brings an ENITRE PALLET of redbull and tells me + my seat mate to go hand them out 🤣 I spent the next hour feeling like an absolute god making everyone in the Whale LANs morning.

That night during teardown, absolute champ strikes again and says I can keep one of the Whale LAN signage pieces.

Great job Colton! Hope you don't get fired for this 🤣

[lilac bone]

Aight thx

[proud tangle]

the jump from power efficency from 11 to 12 was insain so 13th fs

[graceful burrow]

I unfortunately neglected the water bottle for a few weeks while there was water in it and now it just needs a clean

[proud tangle]
