Theres nothing to let slide tho? Its not an argument. Its a similar debate to square vs rectangle

alrighty

my bad

peace out

[timid meadow]

An OS can be linux, but linux isnt an OS 🤷

[robust kestrel]

It's a kernel

[viscid tartan]

but seiners you need a kernel for any flavour of linux out there ,you might aswell call it a os ........ its not as if you could use a windows kernel on its own on you pc/laptop. it has to be used with a os

[fossil frost]

thats not how being "An OS" works, an operating system is a defined term, a kernel is a defined term too

[viscid tartan]

this is gonna be a chicken or egg conversation ,and its 11.26pm

ill just say ,you're right @fossil frost and im wrong but the masses has you beat cos of what most people would call it

[indigo plume]

why isnt gaming embody more expensive than regular embody isnt the gaming version newer

thought the newer one would be more expensive

[timid meadow]

Most people call it that because the English language allows you to use one word for multiple things. Like you said. Chicken and egg. Cant have an OS without the kernal, but no need for a kernal that doesnt have an OS

[viscid tartan]

good night all

[timid meadow]

So sure, i guess you could say somewhere in this word "true linux" exists on a machine somewhere, but its not something you could easily spin up or even get access to.

Just the kernal with bare minimum access for whoever controls it to manage as needed

[ionic carbon]

anyone know whats going on i ran cinebench and my cpu is not boosting to its max 4.4 ghz its only going to 4.07

[heady hazel]

what's up guys

I made a list on PCP and I wanted to get you guys' thoughts on it.

I'm on the fence about building this custom micro beast or getting a gaming laptop

[timid meadow]

Custom always

[heady hazel]

what do you think of the parts?

I went budget, with a grain of salt

avoided cheaping out where I shouldn't

[vapid smelt]

Why the 5600x over the newer 12400

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X37xFs

[heady hazel]

cause I'm sick of intel and I want to go amd for once,plus I can use the integrated graphics from the cou as a slight performance boost

[heady hazel]

also I'm going after this build ->

[low rain]

There’s an air show going on rn and the blue angels js flew above my house so that’s pretty cool

I’m going to the air show tomorrow though

[jaunty hearth]

Does anyone have any insight into 3D printing, I just upgraded my ender 3 and the motors aren’t working and I’m at a total loss

[jaunty compass]

The 5600x doesn't have an igpu what are you talking about

[rugged kettle]

Actually the penguin is Tux

[full fossil]

No the OS is penguin

[vapid smelt]

The 5600x has no integrated GPU

[naive gorge]

What software should I use to benchmark my GPU?

3dmark, the Time Spy benchmark

[steep girder]

If 'OS' isn't bounded at the kernel, then what else is there?

Everything else is drivers and software...

Going by your logic, there be no such thing as OS then

[heady hazel]

well I'm trying to be at around or under 800

and I want to go amd this time around

[steep girder]

Which is an OS

[jaunty compass]

3d mark timespy, probably

[ornate prism]

anybody here recommend razer blade or nah

[heady hazel]

ik, ik that cpu don't have an apu

[ornate prism]

found one for $2000, probably "fell off a truck" type of deal

Nahh

[heady hazel]

I want to go amd this time around d since I've always went intel

will it make my build cheaper?

[knotty lynx]

Does anyone know how to connect multiple Monitors to my pc with only one HDMI output and extend them?!

[velvet marsh]

you can't

[long belfry]

do you want them all as the same immage, because thats likely how they will end, tho you can look up the multi monitor saga and see if anything they use works for you

[long belfry]

a split box can copy display over so you sort of can

[velvet marsh]

but they said extend it

[knotty lynx]

I just want them to extend with the multiple hdmi

I have four monitors and I have only one HDMI Output on my Pc I’m getting.

[velvet marsh]

which pc are you getting?

[long belfry]

why not just use the other connectors

as you probably got 3 or 4 other displayports

and maybe a dvi

i have a few monitors that are hdmi only, just a displayport to hdmi cable works fine, testement to 4 monitors 1 pc myself, (despite a 2e pc being there its not in use for the displays)

[gaunt cave]

Question for everyone: have you seen 6e (ie to say : 6ghz WiFi signals) in the wild, how common is it you think?

[velvet marsh]

like at a public place?

[gaunt cave]

In general. Public place, or your neighbors WiFi... Either way

So far I haven't noticed any

[velvet marsh]

I have wifi 6e with 6ghz

It's also hard to tell what has 6e without 6ghz

[gaunt cave]

Me too, that's why I got curious, went around my floor with an app too, no one else has it apparently. Isn't the only thing that differentiates 6e from 6 the 6ghz?
Pixel 7 pro

[velvet marsh]

Which phone?

[gaunt cave]

P7pro

[velvet marsh]

Yeah no one around me has it, I'm currently in an apartment

[gaunt cave]

It's pretty nutty though. Consistent ultra gigabit speeds over WiFi... It's interesting though that is still so rare

[velvet marsh]

I can get about 1600 with my laptop

[gaunt cave]

Oh damn, which laptop? I've been looking for one that can do 6ghz

[velvet marsh]

I have an asus strix, added a wifi 6e card

it's the amd advantage edition, picked it up for a steal

[gaunt cave]

Pcie card? U can add that to a laptop?

intel is boring and as of the recent rebrand. Cringe.

[modest sierra]

Usb Wi-Fi dongle >>>

[velvet marsh]

eh, don't like a huge dongle on the side of the laptop

[modest sierra]

Me neither I have a MacBook and I constantly have to have a usb c to usb a adapter for my mouse 🥲

[velvet marsh]

I wish my Macbook had 6e

[dreamy rose]

LTE on a framework expansion card would be lit fr.

[dreamy rose]

is it worth it? having barely any ports for the rotten apple on the lid?

[velvet marsh]

I have the 14 so it has a decent number of ports

[dreamy rose]

its an apple that had a byte taken out of it in 1977. the logo shouldn't exist anymore.

[modest sierra]

The pro has a lot of ports

[dreamy rose]

of what kinds?

[modest sierra]

Like 4 usbc hdmi headphone jack

[velvet marsh]

3 tb3/usb4 hdmi hp and sd

[dreamy rose]

then you need C-A adapters.

wouldn't say IO like that is super great, you need a few USB As at least.

[velvet marsh]

I rarely use anything type a with my laptop

[modest sierra]

The future is now old man

[dreamy rose]

sure. what mouse and keyboard ships with USB C?

[modest sierra]

Bluetooth needs no dongles

[dreamy rose]

how many USB Sticks use USB C?

A is far from dead.

dont bother with DuckDuck.

they arent as secure or smart as they say they are, they fucked up hard a while ago.

i cant remember what exactly they did, but they for sure fucked up hard

[velvet marsh]

they were leaking true ips even behind a vpn

[dreamy rose]

and also. for Brave, yeah its good. been using it myself since 2020 and the Adblock is amazing. however the downside is it shows you crypto shit, which you can also disable.

[dreamy rose]

oooh yeah thats right. fuck that.

[velvet marsh]

it was a DNS leak

it was bypassing this, and leaking actual ips

[dreamy rose]

google ad links dont show up

youtube doesnt show me ads,

i'd say it stops you seeing bullshit well.

just change pws and be safe

i just use google

opera gx my pookie

for me i dont like having a lot of distractions cause i already cant pay attention to anything (neurodivergent core)

[plush rivet]

I will never use opera
They had massive malware controversy and will never trust that browser

[rigid tide]

i like how simple opera gx is its sillay

[plush rivet]

Idgaf how many ads I get I’m staying the fuck off it

[dreamy rose]

i mean we were talking search engines not browsers. opera is meh.

[plush rivet]

Bruh idk why people make a big deal about search engines
They all function the same

[velvet marsh]

Except Bing, bing fucking sucks

[dreamy rose]

exactly thats why i jusdt use google.

[plush rivet]

???
Bing is legit fine
What’s the difference between google and bing

[rigid tide]

im preparing for my pookie aero 4090 to come home but idk if my psus enough

[velvet marsh]

The results, I always have to edit my bing searches to get what I want

[plush rivet]

No
There was given proven many years back it was malware and spyware that almost killed the company

I’m shocked their even a thing right now

You can look all this up

but I will never trust that company

Data is absolute king in tech
You selling peoples data goes for millions for company’s

google trying to throw DRM on web browsers.

[marble estuary]

What Desktop browsers you all you guys use me personally I use LibreWolf

[dreamy rose]

ok but what about Discord then?

[velvet marsh]

If you have an iPhone you can't leave Apple either

[dreamy rose]

well. Discord has ties with Tencent so

[viral solstice]

I have a privacy DNS for when I dont use a VPN, and on my google phone I use firefox and I use uBlock Origin to block trackers that firefox doesnt catch. Ive pretty much sold my soul to Google but all the other data brokers can go eat the crumbs

[manic torrent]

absolutely nothing wrong with the game 🙂

[viral solstice]

I love google so much, I put a google in my room so it can listen to me sleep ❤️

i want google to log all my data possible

[velvet marsh]

He means with data

[dreamy rose]

true.

[marble estuary]

Discord is like the only actual Social Media I use unless you count YouTube

[dreamy rose]

eeh. you are the product with discord,

[viral solstice]

well atleast you can request your data from Discord but you'll never know who they sent it to fully

[dreamy rose]

i have to use instagram cause of friends and family

i dont care about that i mean its not facebook at least

i've used it on and off since 2018.

it hasnt been that bad.

do you use it a lot?

[heady hazel]

pretty based 🗿👍🏼

[near nymph]

Delete discord biggest benefit to my mental health until I reinstalled it

[velvet marsh]

I'm mainly just in tech discords

[near nymph]

Friends... Wait you got some?

[dreamy rose]

i will be honest, this sounds just dumb, especially when you are literally using discord. who is a little cozy with the CCP.

not as bad as Epic Games though.

i hope you know
your privacy is never assured

"Linux is for cheaters"

you dont realize how much people are online on steam at once

[dreamy rose]

what a fucking stupid take.

he shouldn't be Operating a company if hes saying stupid shit like this

[velvet marsh]

But they're not

[dreamy rose]

2% of people on the Steam hardware Survey. more than MacOS

[gaunt cave]

Also USB c Wi-Fi card doesn't exist

[opal thunder]

i mean wine is pretty nice

[dreamy rose]

Mac is down to 1.84% while linux is at 1.96%, some claim its invalid because of the steam deck but they are also stupid.

its linux, people are using it. it counts. its logic mate

[midnight elk]

Linux NUMBA ONEEEEEEE

[plush rivet]

pretty sure they meant adapters
which do exist

[midnight elk]

I have until recently gamed exclusively on Linux, it's fine

There's very few games I just can not play

[opal thunder]

ehh, there are some issues like not all games can run on it but otherwise its great

[dreamy rose]

dont know dont use it.

[opal thunder]

much better than it used to be

[midnight elk]

No matter what chat app you use you're fucked if the feds really really wanna get into your shit

Signal is pretty good, matrix also is good for privacy stuff

My favorite for Linux nerding is irc, specifically libera.chat that's where the most die hard of the ganoo squad resides

[velvet marsh]

Gaming on Linux is pretty decent. I just need a good NLE and I can't do that on Linux 😦

[dreamy rose]

i've noticed select games have a FEW issues running on a Pentium N5000 on Arch linux. thats just the CPU however. my library is silver and up on ProtonDB and only a few on my wishlist are listed borked.

tbh i dont think i'm gonna be playing The Crew 2 a lot so. really doesnt matter to me

[opal thunder]

i have a 5900x and had a 4080 and linux is great until you try to play a game that just doesnt want to work

[dreamy rose]

thats Nvidia on linux for you. \

[opal thunder]

yeah

sadge

[gaunt cave]

USB c Wi-Fi adapters? They do exist? Where?

[midnight elk]

I guess but sometimes it's just like empty, barren. It's a little sad. Discord just wins for the fun of chatting factor, I just have to accept it isn't very privacy

[dreamy rose]

just buy Radeon, then your Linux experience will be perfect. drivers in kernel, easy to install. no need to fiddle around with Proprietary nonsene,

hell you get to use SteamOS's Gamescope. cant do that on anyone else

[midnight elk]

What are you trying to do?

[opal thunder]

$$$ i aint gunna buy ANYTHING after buying a 1500$ gpu 💀

[midnight elk]

What is like your threat modelx what is like what you're trying to defend against

Protonmail is fine enough, I use riseup but that's invite only

[dreamy rose]

1500 dollars? well that's a waste

[midnight elk]

And my dad has a private mail server I use with it's own special domain

[dreamy rose]

seriously you coulda gone with a 7900XTX or an XT and saved hella dosh

still. Ada Lovelace is priced like shit.

[manic torrent]

.. and even then it isn't really necessary.

[opal thunder]

yeah

[dreamy rose]

every one of them.

[manic torrent]

nah the 4090 is the best value

[midnight elk]

This is also true like 95% of the time someone isn't gonna like magically younk all your info

[manic torrent]

... more than 95%, AND your info is almost all encrypted regardless

[dreamy rose]

Sure, if you are Elon Musk. nobody who cares even remotely about value would be willing to pay 1600, no matter how fast it is. \

[midnight elk]

I just like the privacy factor since I know very well my college probably is gonna be snooping in what domains I go to and I want a little privacy

[manic torrent]

you don't understand what value is.

[dreamy rose]

if the 4090 was 1200 it would be a good value.

[midnight elk]

Actually I think my NASA mega super asic fpga 9000 gpu quantum giga-server is the best value 🤓

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia doesnt know what Value means. be it intentional to sell Blackwell or just genuine stupidity thinking we will bite.

[manic torrent]

the issue is the 4090 is the best value nvidia gpu. it is also the most expensive.

[full fossil]

isnt the 7900XTX like 80% the way there and is only 900 dollars?

[full fossil]

[dreamy rose]

thats an App?

[midnight elk]

If value was a snake Nvidia would be fucking dead

[dreamy rose]

oh on Mobile?

[full fossil]

Yall i shouldn’t paint my gpu fans right?

[manic torrent]

not the point - my point is that within their own lineup, the best valu for money is the $1500 card

[dreamy rose]

AMD is taking GPU Marketshare slowly. thanks to Steam deck for one. but otherwise Nvidia's offerings are too shit a valuen to be pushing units. they literally stopped prodcuing them at meaningful capacity

[dreamy rose]

sure. but it ultimately doesnt matter when theres options with far better value.

who doesnt wanna save a whopping 700 dollars?

[manic torrent]

... assuming you don't need/want cuda

[dreamy rose]

7900XTX is getting ROCm.

[manic torrent]

for pure gaming? I'm on board

[manic torrent]

buy products for the features they have.

[dreamy rose]

the CUDA argument is gonna be squashed soon.

[manic torrent]

I know it is, and I'm excited.

[manic torrent]

it isn't an "argument" as such - it's a common enough use case

[dreamy rose]

hell people been buying up 7900 cards for AI cause of ROCm

[full fossil]

will all 7900xtx's be the same chip or will it be the xtx/xtxh shit again

[near nymph]

Reddit is nice the LTT subreddit is dope

[manic torrent]

Interesting. The thirst for gpu compute is endless

[manic torrent]

google flights will be fine - realistically the prices/availability will be close enough just about anywhere

[dreamy rose]

them as a company are Distasteful. but its really hard to even think to deny that Reddit has been a massive tool for troubleshooting, answers to burning questions, casual nonsense and in general being a massive resource for the internet no matter what its about.

[near nymph]

No

Reddit will keep bitching if you use reddit without an account

[dreamy rose]

while these sadly wont be going to consumers. i think ultimately the outcome will be good, because AMD then gets to focus on squashing the "Nvidia for Workstation" rule.,

people love to stick by.

someone said that AMD probably wants to take Marketshare on RDNA 5 and not 4. but i see that RDNA 4 could be good enough to push them high. if those rumors about "giving up on N42 and N41" aren't true. which they have to be fake they cant just ditch the 800 and 900 class like that unless the designs are literally unusable. which again i doubt that would be the case.

[velvet marsh]

Tho there are still a lot of workstation tasks where you do need Nvidia

[manic torrent]

.... no. People buy products to do things. amd literally hasn't offered products to do this previously.

also when building a workstation, the price is to some degrees irrelevant

[dreamy rose]

people want to buy the Radeons, but they still cling on to GeForce for this reason specifically.

[manic torrent]

..... no shit.

it isn't "clinging"

[dreamy rose]

hell people who don't even do this stuff stick to GeForce for this reason.

[velvet marsh]

It's choosing the better solution

[manic torrent]

it's ok, he doesn't understand. He shills AMD like they are paying him.

[velvet marsh]

Cause yeah, I wanna choose AMD for Unreal

[rare hamlet]

Yea I’m just gaming went to amd. When I first started looking at parts and what not every build had an nvidia card was kinda stupid and they never really compared it to anything better or told the use cases etc

[rare hamlet]

💀

[dreamy rose]

its basically that Nvidia and Intel get all the marketing and all the models, especially on laptops, while AMD is left behind on the more generic less interesting models people generally don't buy. or theres banger models that are AMD only that nobody looks at because its only AMD (TUF A16 Advantage edition is the prime example, literal best laptop of the year here being ditched for a stupid watered down 4080 for 1800USD)

[dusky jacinth]

I did the same, but went with a 7900XT for UE5.2 and later.

I know UE is GeForce biased, but I don't care. If there's a will, there's a way to make it work.

[dreamy rose]

hell even the low end laptop chips from nvidia. which are objectively fucking shit compared to even their last gen.

[dusky jacinth]

True.

[dreamy rose]

Funny how they have an Nvidia bias despite having to be optimised for AMD first.

[near nymph]

If I am buying a GPU for productivity. It'll probably be an Nvidia Card. But for personal and gaming use. I would get an AMD all the way

[dusky jacinth]

You know, I really find that so weird.

[near nymph]

the Linux support is also alot better with amd cards

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia and Linux are literally oil and water and have been for at least a decade. nothing they have done has changed that, they are perfectly content keeping it this way.

[dusky jacinth]

Like how is it a thing where you have to make a version of the engine for consoles that you know will be crossported anyway, but then... Your pc build of the same engine is biased to something hardware-related that isn't even the same brand or architectures as the consoles, which are not that far apart from pc.

It doesn't make any sense.

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia is the one holding back Wayland. X11 is Dead. yet Wayland and nvidia arent well together.

[dusky jacinth]

Irony, lol.

[dreamy rose]

Fact is stranger than Fiction.

[dusky jacinth]

It should've been fiction all this time, just saying.

[dreamy rose]

[wispy marsh]

Is XPS an enterprise lineup?

I'm wondering how much Dell makes on these versus the more "business" or "enterprise" lineups they have

[manic torrent]

it's a premium laptop. The normal enterprise/business laptops are nowhere near as optimised for size etc

[wispy marsh]

I have the vostro 16", it feels pretty nice although the material flexes quite a bit

[manic torrent]

yeah, that's a much lower quality unit - perfectly fine, but when it's my money, I want it to be good, not just 'good enough'

Cardboard.

Not great for the long-term.

fr if you are concerned about the validity of the majorgeeks mirror, you can download HBCD, a windows rescue disk, flash it to a USB drive and do macrium from that

macrium is super easy to use

[full fossil]

alright

[hard oriole]

https://www.hirensbootcd.org/

[outer night]

Medicat might be better.

[hard oriole]

medicat packages a lot more together with it

hbcd does the job with a smaller download

[full fossil]

downloading macroum reflect

[manic torrent]

I am just about to start uranium tech

Which will give me the power I need to switch to electric smelting

[elfin jetty]

[near nymph]

Should I let my friend find out he's a dumb ass with an expired passport and he booked a trip to the UK... For next month?

[outer night]

Lineups still bad at Service Canada?

[near nymph]

Not sure. But booked a plane ticket... With an expired passport. Not sure if i should let him figure it out....

[outer night]

Well either let him know, or don't let him find out that you knew 😄

[near nymph]

Lol

I did tell him... Not a good idea to go to the UK without telling him the reason.

Uh what?

[outer night]

Oh he's not renewing? He's fucked lol

[near nymph]

I'm pretty sure his passport is expired for so long that renewing isn't an option

He can get it next day, but I think it gets fairly expensive.

[wraith frost]

@wind pulsar I searched but there is no information I need quite information @near nymph

[blazing orbit]

would help if you were more specific btw and kept this discussion in your thread

[near nymph]

Go back to your thread and give a better descriptions of your needs. It sounds like your running shit into Google translate

[near nymph]

Idfk what you are saying

[wraith frost]

your sentences make no sense

you sound like a badly written instructions manual

[near nymph]

I can't understand him. It sounds like when a Chinese dude is trying to talk to me in English with a translator

[junior tide]

why do you think i said "badly written instructions manual"

[wispy marsh]

Well, I have no idea where this is going to start and where this is going to end

[wraith frost]

@near nymph BUILD write comenda linux all maunal cpu amd ryzen and gpu amd install configuration

[wispy marsh]

I used to run ubuntu server with nvidia's 3XX xserver drivers on a GT720.

[near nymph]

Dude we aren't gonna teach you how to install arch. There a billion guides out there

[wispy marsh]

Stardew Valley 1.5 was surprisingly good on a GT720

[near nymph]

Just install Fedora or Ubuntu if you don't wanna deal with Arch

[wispy marsh]

Alas, i was infuriated by the 5400rpm storage it ran on

[junior tide]

is he seriously asking us to guide him through an arch install

fuck that

[near nymph]

It sounds like it

[wraith frost]

@near nymph yes install fedora manual and add install terminal cpu ryzen and gpu amd enable fixed FX not install arch

[wispy marsh]

I'm asking you to silently exit public chat

to this segue, of our sponsor

https://lttstore.com

[junior tide]

??? i am so confused

[near nymph]

Dude now he wants us to teach him out to install Fedora...

[wispy marsh]

@_@

[junior tide]

i think he wants to enable fidelityfx on fedora

[near nymph]

Install Windows

[junior tide]

i am actually geniunely confused

[wraith frost]

@near nymph so want to find out because lately there was a problem you need to build there to cpu and gpu action because there are some problem something wrong

[wispy marsh]

I assume this is going through a dictation like Siri or Google

[junior tide]

we dont know
the problem

[near nymph]

Link to problem?

[wispy marsh]

The spelling is perfect but the grammar is uh... not quite there yet

[junior tide]

yesn't

[near nymph]

The Grammar sounds like Google translate

[wispy marsh]

Google wouldn't spit out trash like this

[near nymph]

It sounds like Portuguese try to speak English

[junior tide]

man using bing

[wraith frost]

And who has the knowledge of linux quite to make it work and laugh Emily Young

[junior tide]

[near nymph]

Huh?

[wispy marsh]

[wind pulsar]

They've been spamming this for a while

[wind pulsar]

BSS spreading braindamage again

[dreamy rose]

they do realise spamming their little forum thingie doesnt get them any help right?

[indigo plume]

how does herman mill get away with charing 2k for a chair

[junior tide]

but my man really got the wd blue sata ssd

[wind pulsar]

Why are you asking me

[indigo plume]

herman miller actually scamming mfs

for charging 2k for a chair lmao

[dreamy rose]

they are office chairs not gaming chairs. buisnuess will pay millions for anything

[blazing orbit]

my best chair was five bucks at a garage sale

[elder thorn]

Bro's pfp is a kid's drawing

[indigo plume]

they have gaming variants

so they are gaming chairs

[junior tide]

do you know who else sat for hours straight since at least 100 years?
office workers
gaming chairs are scam, get a nice office chair

[indigo plume]

spending 2k on a office chair is also a scam

[dreamy rose]

why are you so fuckin angry? who pissed in your cheerios this morning

[blazing orbit]

so true, gaming chairs kinda suck compared to a nice tall back office chair

[junior tide]

then dont buy it????

[indigo plume]

im not

[wind pulsar]

My current chair was 5k :o

[marsh wigeon]

My chair belongs in the garden

[indigo plume]

lol what made u think I was going to buy it

[dreamy rose]

you can spend a lot more on an office chair.

[indigo plume]

if u paying more than 800 for a chair there is a problem

[elfin solar]

Spamming this again are you?

[junior tide]

i literally welded up legs for this couch and screwed them in for height, im sitting on a couch to game

[elder thorn]

Tf is that

[wind pulsar]

Mine's a Stressless massage chair

[mild elm]

Cry

If you don’t want it, don’t buy it

[junior tide]

thats probably what im gonna get when im 30

[dreamy rose]

have you never seen Cheerios before?

[indigo plume]

never said I was gunna buy it

[wind pulsar]

That's why I got for free so lmao

[junior tide]

birthday present?

[wind pulsar]

No, I own a company that sells them

[dreamy rose]

i mean true, youre complaining because you wouldn't buy it

[junior tide]

oh shit

[elder thorn]

I've heard of it but I don't know tf that is

[indigo plume]

even if I was rich I wouldnt justify spending that much on a chair when u can get a comparable one for half the price

[elfin solar]

Bliss! Doubt I would get any work done though.

[wind pulsar]

Well I own part of it, my fiancee co-owns it

[mild elm]

Ok

[junior tide]

trust me if you were rich you wouldnt give a flying fuck how much it costs

[dreamy rose]

well. its a delicious cereal.

[wind pulsar]

I just hire people to do the work for me, as if I'm doing any work in it. I also just got the cheapest chair since I don't like leather chairs anyway.

[elder thorn]

Ok I don't eat cereal

[wind pulsar]

The cheapest is like cloth and the rest five models are models with progressively fancier and sturdier leather

[junior tide]

leather in summer ew

[dreamy rose]

thats kinda lame but you do you i guess. i leave cereal to dessert/ midnight snacks. thats when they are best

[indigo plume]

I dont eat cereal either

[wind pulsar]

I don't sweat in summer anyway

[indigo plume]

i havent had cereal in like 5 years

[junior tide]

its 41 degrees rn

[wind pulsar]

I just like the feel of cloth more

[indigo plume]

41 degrees is cold

[junior tide]

celcius

[wind pulsar]

Celsius exists, ew

[indigo plume]

celsius is fake

[junior tide]

and this temporary accomodation has no ac

[wind pulsar]

In Fahrenheit it's about 105 degrees or so

[elder thorn]

I eat some cheese cake as a midnight snack because u don't need to heat it and it can be easy stored In my fridge

[junior tide]

whAT THE FUCK is a KILOMETER 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🦅 🦅

[dreamy rose]

i dont care for Fahrenheit, cause i dont bloody use it. liike the rest of the world

[dreamy rose]

cheesecake is best cake. can never go wrong with a cheesecake

[elder thorn]

Like 1000m

[wind pulsar]

Yup, only about 5 countries in the world use them

[dreamy rose]

if you grouped each 10 states into a country

[grizzled hazel]

Tf is America?

[indigo plume]

canada uses both

id rather be in usa and just use one

[elder thorn]

Starbucks sells them for like 7 euros

[wind pulsar]

Err, no

[indigo plume]

insead of using both

[elder thorn]

The last time I checked

[indigo plume]

using both is just dumb and annoying

[junior tide]

banana for scale?

[grizzled hazel]

Yeah so come to Europe

[indigo plume]

no

[grizzled hazel]

Why not?

[indigo plume]

i dont speak european languages

[wind pulsar]

The US, Palau, Micronesia, Marshal Island, Cayman Islands and Liberia

[junior tide]

english will do

[elder thorn]

English?

[wind pulsar]

But you speak English

[junior tide]

no no he speak american

[elfin solar]

Nothing more American than that statement.

[indigo plume]

english is only england and didnt they leave the eu

i thought

[dreamy rose]

Micronesia? does that run off of Crucial products by any chance?

[grizzled hazel]

Wait what ? We in Europe can do multiple languages

[junior tide]

yes they did, politically

[elder thorn]

Still a part of the continent

[wind pulsar]

Err no
English originated from the Saxons, aka the Germans actually lmao

[elfin solar]

Doesn’t know the difference between Europe and EU. American confirmed.

[grizzled hazel]

Like English ...

[indigo plume]

like if I move to germany Id have to learn german

[grizzled hazel]

No kot at all

[indigo plume]

or frenech if move to france ect

[junior tide]

did you know
Finnish and Turkish are in the same language family

[junior tide]

not at all, english just works

[grizzled hazel]

Nope, they all know english

[indigo plume]

im not gunna learn a new language at my stage

[dreamy rose]

Frenech?

[indigo plume]

would still be barrier cuz they know it and I dont

[wind pulsar]

Not really, no

[indigo plume]

so would prob get discimnated cuz im foriener or somthing

[grizzled hazel]

So we not Americans we don't care speak English we understand and don't care 😅

[junior tide]

i lived in slovakia for 5 months without any language barrier speaking only english

[wind pulsar]

There's plenty of people especially in western Germany that didn't learn a dime of German and are still living pretty well

[indigo plume]

also expensive to live there from what ive been told

[grizzled hazel]

Second world language

[junior tide]

turks in germany be like

[wind pulsar]

Turks, Arabs, Polish and Russian people mainly

[indigo plume]

I just dont see a reason to move

[wind pulsar]

These days also Ukranians

[junior tide]

that we understand
rest of the things you said made no sense whatsoever brother

[indigo plume]

plus finding a job would be hard

[grizzled hazel]

To join our fight vs USA...

To disrupt the dollar

[indigo plume]

since I dont have skill set that would be valuabe in another country

[junior tide]

most american man ever

[indigo plume]

Im just a fatory worker

[junior tide]

he only knows how to america

[mild elm]

England?

[indigo plume]

im not american

im canadian

[junior tide]

so what you can still work at škoda factory in Czech Republic

[grizzled hazel]

Oef

[junior tide]

good benefits and all

[indigo plume]

why would they hire a forien person vs local ppl

[junior tide]

but hey canada is nice

[grizzled hazel]

Or Belgium we have factories to

[indigo plume]

used to be

[grizzled hazel]

Cheaper

[junior tide]

or come to Turkey and work at Hyundai factory

[indigo plume]

canada is getting dragged in the mud by our current leadership

[junior tide]

yall thought hyundais you buy came from korea huh

nah we make em

[mild elm]

Let me guess, car factory?

[grizzled hazel]

No, I simply don't buy those

[indigo plume]

I dont want to get into a car factory

[wind pulsar]

And be significantly underpaid weeee

I'd rather be a streamer in Turkey and be able to live for a month off of a $200 donation

[grizzled hazel]

Possible since you wouldn need to pay 100 for the internet it's free there

[junior tide]

nah, student

[wind pulsar]

I know it's possible because I know somebody who does exactly that

[indigo plume]

how is japan got 3 biggest econemy when it so small

what do they even make other than cars

[wind pulsar]

Why is Germany the fourth largest economy when Texas is twice the size

[mild elm]

[junior tide]

actually you cant live for a month on 200 anymore

make it 400-500 and youre set

[mild elm]

Who’s gonna tell him that Japan is 3x larger than Canada

[junior tide]

[wind pulsar]

Longer doesn't equal larger

[odd spire]

Hello everyone

[mild elm]

I mean larger population

[odd spire]

@drowsy pasture

[mild elm]

Unclear, I realise

[indigo plume]

i mean not hard canada dont have a huge population

[junior tide]

i20N is kinda sick tho

[odd spire]

@fallen summit

[indigo plume]

canada less than 40 million

[wind pulsar]

Then Japan is also three times 'smaller' than the US

Who cares anyway, Japan is losing population rather fast

[junior tide]

why are we playing civ6 in chat again

[near nymph]

We do have 40 million

[indigo plume]

thought it was like 38 million

[junior tide]

would you like to stop that

[near nymph]

New statistics

[indigo plume]

wonder how japan will do after they hit the population crisis

[fallen summit]

ayo did i just get pinged twice

[near nymph]

https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/subjects-start/population_and_demography/40-million

[junior tide]

i heard that construction industry is growing in canada

[indigo plume]

cuz in time japans economy is doomed

[junior tide]

culprit is @odd spire

[fallen summit]

Whyd you ping me

[odd spire]

@fallen summit i had a question

[wind pulsar]

We lost around three million people since 2008, great. ='D

[junior tide]

to snitch on tedi

[indigo plume]

wonder how it will effect rest of the world

[fallen summit]

@odd spire whats up

[fallen summit]

wym youre the one that pinged me no?

[junior tide]

no tedi did

[odd spire]

I accidentally spilled oj on my keyboard should i replace the keycaps or the whole keyboard

[fallen summit]

replace the mouse

[junior tide]

wash it

[odd spire]

no you did it

[indigo plume]

japan to busy watching anime and not having kids smh

[odd spire]

too*

[wind pulsar]

China has the same problem except much worse lol

[fallen summit]

@odd spire What keyboard brand

[junior tide]

remove keycaps and throw it in the dishwasher, im being serious

[grizzled hazel]

It is!

[odd spire]

turkman

[junior tide]

oh shit

[fallen summit]

just throw that shit away

[indigo plume]

never heard about china population crisis

[wind pulsar]

Funfact btw, China is also not the worlds most populated country anymore, India overtook it last month or so

[fallen summit]

get a ONN one from walmart

[junior tide]

wdym bruh linus has a video throwing keyboards in dishwasher

[odd spire]

ur kinda handsome ngl man

ops wrong chat

[junior tide]

uh oh

[odd spire]

dm me heh

[indigo plume]

I dont get what makes japan so much money to be number 3

[wind pulsar]

People don't want kids because it's too expensive and the Chinese government seemingly does nothing about it except allowing people to have more kids.

[indigo plume]

like is ijust the cars

[tired glade]

Is that somehow bad?

[fallen summit]

I saw @odd spire had pinged @drowsy pasture too. did he ever come joiin the chat?

[junior tide]

all of them worked just fine iirc

[indigo plume]

I mean being to expensive to have kids is kinda a global thing rn

[near nymph]

Lmfao India

[indigo plume]

with hte housing market

[junior tide]

and i washed my own keyboard in the sink after i spilled water on it

[odd spire]

thats hot

[fallen summit]

but on a serious note. throwing a keyboard in the dishwasher would work in the short term but long term the traces would corrode

[junior tide]

washed laptop's motherboard with distilled water

[wind pulsar]

Seems to be especially bad in China, since one room apartments can cost the same as some houses in Europe

[indigo plume]

i havent cleaned my keyboard since I got it

[junior tide]

yeah you have to dry it properly or it will rot

[fallen summit]

Dip that boy in rubbing alcohol

[near nymph]

Government: pls have kids
People: umm too expensive to live let alone kids

[wind pulsar]

Like, the people that do have a lot of children live in literal dirt houses

[junior tide]

done that after liquid metal gone wrong

[odd spire]

can you dry it for me 😉

[junior tide]

sure

[indigo plume]

I dont see why japanes cars so popular

[grizzled hazel]

Lol

[wind pulsar]

You don't understand a lot of things that aren't American huh

[junior tide]

ever driven a camry

[grizzled hazel]

Atleast this server is fun

[fallen summit]

@odd spire dresses up as a animal and does curious things

[odd spire]

can i slide in your dms 😏

[indigo plume]

I just dont see the appeal in japanese cars vs other brands

[wind pulsar]

Apart from importing Japanese cars being cheaper in Asia, Japanese cars are just known to be extremely reliable, which is why people buy them

[junior tide]

thank you but im not interested

[fallen summit]

why not

[indigo plume]

I mean I dont really pay attention to japanese stuff

[odd spire]

yea man wth

[fallen summit]

hes single and ready to mingle my guy

[junior tide]

im married

[indigo plume]

except for the video games

[odd spire]

oh shoot my bad g

[fallen summit]

its okay, hes italian, they believe in multiple spouses

[near nymph]

American cars are awesome

[fallen summit]

TRASH

[indigo plume]

how japanese cars any more reliable than other brands arent local brands fine

[junior tide]

im muslim

[grizzled hazel]

Whut?

[near nymph]

I prefer American cars over Japanese. More spacious

[odd spire]

so was my grandma

[grizzled hazel]

Ever heard of Germany?

[fallen summit]

lots of space while you wait on a tow truck

[indigo plume]

why I dont like japanese cars exibit A the PRIUS

[grizzled hazel]

Audi bmw...

[wind pulsar]

American cars seem to gain more popularity in Europe and as far I could tell from Reddit, a lot of people are pissed about that =p

[near nymph]

I hate European cars. Expensive repairs lol

Then again... VW ID BUZZ

[junior tide]

e30 be like

[indigo plume]

I dont see issues with american cars

[grizzled hazel]

Well I hate American cars always needing to repair

[fallen summit]

European cars are trash

[junior tide]

40 year old car, 500 dollar water pump

[grizzled hazel]

Plus so plastic inside and everything made so cheap

[indigo plume]

european cars are the luxury cars arent they

like with like bmw and stuff

[grizzled hazel]

There is no competition when talking cars it's Europe

[wind pulsar]

Did you just call Volkswagen, known for their cheaper models to fall apart within 20 seconds of driving them, luxury cars?

[junior tide]

trust me a fucking 2002 vw polo is not a luxury car

[indigo plume]

my dad as a corolla inside the car is all plastic bruv

[grizzled hazel]

Compared to it's equivalent?

[indigo plume]

he get the 2022

[junior tide]

and what would that be

[indigo plume]

whats the appeal for this car and why do I see so many

[mild elm]

Dacia

[grizzled hazel]

Small Mazda ?

[junior tide]

reliability

[grizzled hazel]

Some ford koa

[mild elm]

Reliable, efficient

[junior tide]

mazda 323? yeah then polo is a luxury car

[indigo plume]

and the car is so small my head hits the roof

[wind pulsar]

In 99% of times people buy their shit because it's cheap and reliable
That's why there's so many VWs Europe

[indigo plume]

these cars are made for small ppl

[junior tide]

not the point, a corolla was never meant to be a luxury car

[mild elm]

Not all of them

[wind pulsar]

You can't really argue for 'oh it's made in Europe anyway', since there's also a lot of Fords in Europe

[grizzled hazel]

VW is cheap? Who told ya that

[indigo plume]

guess cuz japan population is shorter

[grizzled hazel]

Can buy 3 ford's for one golf

[junior tide]

if you want to experience a properly nice japanese car you get a lexus lc 500h

[indigo plume]

than western ppl

[mild elm]

Also you must be 6’3” or something

[wind pulsar]

Considering you can get a new VW for sub $18,000? Yeah

[indigo plume]

Im 6'3 1/2"

[wind pulsar]

I don't even want to talk about the used market, you can get a decent enough VW for like $200

[junior tide]

yeah you get a skoda superb

[tired glade]

[wind pulsar]

Not really

[indigo plume]

cant imagine working in japan withe the work culture they have over there

[grizzled hazel]

Ok ok we can all agree then that Porsche is the best ....

[wind pulsar]

I just know how the German market works, hence why I said it

[junior tide]

i live in turkey and you cant get a 2004 golf under 10k usd

[wind pulsar]

Ew, stereotypes

[junior tide]

the
the
THE 1.9TDI

vw 1.9tdi is LS of europe

[wind pulsar]

Vw's cheapest new car is roughly €15,000

[indigo plume]

i mean from what ive seen from sources the sterotypes i kinda true especially in the entertainment industry

[grizzled hazel]

The up? Thats a car for people without license

[wind pulsar]

After that it's the new Polo, which for some reason bumps the price by almost €6,000

[junior tide]

regular golf vs golf gti is literally 2x isnt it

[wind pulsar]

I can look

[indigo plume]

new corollas aint even that cheap

30k cad for 2023

[junior tide]

yeah golf "life" package is 36k and it comes with steelies and wheel covers
gti is 60k without extra options

and golf R is 81k

[wind pulsar]

Cheapest Golf is €31,450, the most expensive one is €57,985, which is the R Performance
The most expensive GTI is around €44,000

[junior tide]

im checking vw nl

[wind pulsar]

I'm on the German page

[junior tide]

and gti comes with fucking 17 inch wheels

[grizzled hazel]

That means cheaper then here

[fresh spire]

bro where can i find a bunch of decorations for my desk, amazon so dry

[junior tide]

yeah most definitely

[junior tide]

what kind of decorations are you looking for

[grizzled hazel]

Need to make sure to have income of the country etc calculated also plus taxes ...

[wind pulsar]

I mean duh, obviously

[wind pulsar]

Taxes are included in the price

[grizzled hazel]

Here they all start 5k higher

[junior tide]

in Turkey min wage is 400 dorra/month

[grizzled hazel]

And Im next to germany

[junior tide]

plus, whatever you see in germany prices, add 200% on it as tax

thats turkish pricing for that car

[fresh spire]

i actually got no clue i got one of those 3d clocks and some cheap hexagon lights from amazon but thats all

[junior tide]

we make less, we buy 2 for erdogan and 1 for ourself

[grizzled hazel]

Yeah you guys are fucked allot it seems these days

[junior tide]

my salary was an insane amount of money

beginning of this year

[grizzled hazel]

But worth pennies I guess

[junior tide]

8th month i scrape by

in january i saved 60% of my salary

now i cant save more than 20% or im dead

[indigo plume]

the hell looney tunes is treading on my twitter lol

random af

[grizzled hazel]

Yeah fiat really needs to die, we all know it failed (again)

[junior tide]

at least my rent isnt going up

2 year contract, really shafted the landlord there

[wind pulsar]

The fact you need to pay extra for a theft alarm on the R Performance, a €57,000 car, is horrendous

[junior tide]

i told the guy if he wants to raise the price i would understand, he say "we have a contract"

could be the fact that i look after the flat well

[junior tide]

joking right

[wind pulsar]

Nope, it's a €530 extra

[junior tide]

i would go to a private company and get a proper anti theft system for that price

[grizzled hazel]

What a cool guy!

[junior tide]

yeah, reason why i look after his place

[wind pulsar]

It's also super tiring to configure a car in VW, because you can configure literally everything

[junior tide]

i fix things when broken instead of calling him so i think he is paying me forward

[grizzled hazel]

They saw there chances having Hyundai in the news with bad alarm

[junior tide]

its why you get it in 3 months

[wind pulsar]

haha

You can order an usb c cable for a meager €36,40

[grizzled hazel]

3 months?

[junior tide]

but bro why they didnt
why they didnt put immobilizers

[grizzled hazel]

Take 2 years

[wind pulsar]

What my Golf would cost after configuration, added around €9,000 in extras

[grizzled hazel]

Like Linus always says 1 dollar on one is millions on all

[junior tide]

im gonna go look up i20N

sick little hatchback

[wind pulsar]

I mean I have a Tesla so I don't really want a Golf anyway

[grizzled hazel]

Allot of people are happy with their i20n

[finite orchid]

Is there a channel to ask for tech recommendations?

[grizzled hazel]

What ya need?

[finite orchid]

I need a USB Hub but I don't know what ones are good.

[grizzled hazel]

AH I thought you needed advice for a motherboard etc 😂

Can't help you there

[finite orchid]

Ok thanks for responding though.

[grizzled hazel]

Unless the old rule still counts

Just make sure its a powered one of needed for long distances

[indigo plume]

well I got the 2023 hybrid corolla and regret it should have just got the prius insead

if I was getting hybrid car

[junior tide]

36k with all options

3 dashcams and everything

[grizzled hazel]

Go full electric imo hybrids are not really worth it

[junior tide]

200hp with a nice variable exhaust and a limited slip diff

[grizzled hazel]

That's not much for so much car

[indigo plume]

to expensive

[junior tide]

yeah its crazy

[indigo plume]

also no infrastructure

[grizzled hazel]

It's fun to drive on racetrack also

[junior tide]

when you floor it the exhaust opens up and goes braaaaaaap

[indigo plume]

| dont live in LA

[grizzled hazel]

Then I@would stick to ice

[indigo plume]

and spend more on gas lol

[grizzled hazel]

La? Even La is fucked when talking infrastructure

[indigo plume]

yeah real smart

[junior tide]

hybrid cars arent that efficient

[indigo plume]

more efficient that normal ones

[grizzled hazel]

CNG? Is like 2 cents price difference on 100km

[junior tide]

youre hauling a massive battery

[bright silo]

So is an EV?

[junior tide]

ev no gas

[bright silo]

What does that have to do with efficiency?

[junior tide]

on hybrid youre hauling an ICE and a massive battery

[bright silo]

Battery is heavier than fuel

[junior tide]

go either full electric or hybrid

[indigo plume]

mate a hybrid I could use the electric power to get to work without using the gas engine

[junior tide]

ik, energy density is much lower

[indigo plume]

how is that worse than ice

[bright silo]

Energy density is not direct weight

[junior tide]

thats why electric semis arent a thing

[junior tide]

i am aware

[junior tide]

whats the battery capacity of your vehicle

[indigo plume]

and like som hybrids dont even have that big of a battery

[junior tide]

not the range

[grizzled hazel]

Just cost at then end with hybrid gonna be more then ice or ev

[indigo plume]

idk the specs

[junior tide]

thank you

[bright silo]

Anyways I’ll stick to ICE until a viable charging and maintenance infrastructure is built. Heck we don’t even have enough proven lithium for full EV conversion yet…

[indigo plume]

27k for a brand new car thats hybrid aint very expensive hardly anymore than a ice

cad

[junior tide]

and mining for dem shits isnt very environment friendly is it

[bright silo]

Mining anything ain’t environmentally friendly

[junior tide]

get a civic or a corolla or something and carry on

[bright silo]

Pick your poison

[indigo plume]

I have hybrid corolla

[bright silo]

I have a Corolla

[grizzled hazel]

Tbh I'm not sure how they gonna go full ev when most of the world electricity nets are 120v

[junior tide]

i mean old corolla

[bright silo]

Why old?

[grizzled hazel]

Even here Europe 230v and 400v we already fucked

[indigo plume]

and used market is infalated af

[junior tide]

98 corolla
will run forever
never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down

[indigo plume]

like a 3 year old corolla is only like 3k cheaper than brand new

[junior tide]

we have 220 and 380 here in Turkey

[bright silo]

But I like my ‘17

[indigo plume]

in used market in my area

[grizzled hazel]

Your also in Europe region :p

[junior tide]

nothing wrong with that i just like old cars

[indigo plume]

I dont like old cars

[junior tide]

yes

[bright silo]

34 mpg is decent 👌

[junior tide]

i had a lot of fun in a 1983 golf 1 tdi the other day

[grizzled hazel]

That's what I mean, for Europe already difficult and we have higher voltages

[indigo plume]

i dont know what mpg is but I get 4 liters/100 km

[junior tide]

960 kilos of car on a 1.6 tdi engine

[grizzled hazel]

How is america etc going to to it when everything still lower voltages

[indigo plume]

some times even 3.5

[junior tide]

thats really good

[indigo plume]

in summer

[bright silo]

Mpg is Miles per gallon

[indigo plume]

gallons ewww

[junior tide]

and 1 gallon was how many liters now

[indigo plume]

like 4.5

[bright silo]

3.785

[junior tide]

nah 3.785

[bright silo]

34 mpg is 14.455 km/L

[neon mesa]

pretty horrible

[bright silo]

It’s not

[neon mesa]

depends on the car ig

[bright silo]

Not for a normal ICE

[grizzled hazel]

It is

[junior tide]

and 1mile is 1.6kms
so 34 mpg is 54.4 k/3.785 liters
which comes up to 7L/100kms

[grizzled hazel]

It's not a diesel

[junior tide]

u miscalculated there

34 mpg is 7L/100kms

[bright silo]

I didn’t
