The year of the Linux desktop is every year since 1998

[rare stone]

Love Linux heart

Nah like laptops shipped with Linux

[fierce moth]

I use Linux on my ps3

[spare lintel]

once linux reach critical mass of userbase it will change. and its happening.

[rare stone]

I use Linux on my dell vostro 1015

[fierce moth]

A lot of stuff gets sent to swap real quick

[spare lintel]

i think final step which will make linux as main OS will be once micro$oft makes windows cloud based (which will be next release according to rumors)

[dreamy rose]

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

[rare stone]

I use youtube revanced

[spare lintel]

you alreadt cant install win11 home edition w/o internet

[rare stone]

Can't open the link

[fierce moth]

I use YouTube premium

[rare stone]

It costs 100 a month here ain't no way

[fierce moth]

I'm linked on a family subscription

[fossil frost]

there is already cloud based windows, there has been forever. remote network booting is always a thing... but MS are not going to go down that route, and they will never be able to limit "pro" to requiring an internet connection, because there are many many many use cases where having the machine connected to the internet is a no-go

[fierce moth]

So I don't pay the bills

[rare stone]

Wanna change fammilys

[fierce moth]

I'll pass

[rare stone]

Damn why not just gota pay for 30x everything

[full fossil]

cause of no user base????????

[fierce moth]

I like the Australian market

[dreamy rose]

if you wanna live ina freezing cold concrete house covered in mould then sure i guess

[rare stone]

I use Linux mint xfce!! It's at least 1

[rare stone]

Please yes

[vapid smelt]

@fossil frost is it true that UK people dont really eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

[rare stone]

Save me from turkey I fucking hate it here

[fierce moth]

I love Australia

[fossil frost]

i eat peanut butter... but, no PB+J isnt a thing here, and J is a different thing here too

[rare stone]

Shit head people been electing the same guy since 2004

[fossil frost]

we call it jam, not jelly, jelly is something different

[rare stone]

He won't die to mf 85 yo

Jelly is whole

Jam is gooey

[near nymph]

I like Fedora Linux. 😄

[rare stone]

I can only run mint xfce):

[fierce moth]

I use arch btw (sorry had too)

Use it both on a dual boot desktop and single boot server

[rare stone]

I use it to type in disco since it's the best it can do

[near nymph]

We can all agree....fuck Ubuntu lol

[rare stone]

Well mint is based on it

[full fossil]

server verson?

[fierce moth]

Don't say that heinous name here

[near nymph]

Desktop

[rare stone]

Works fine

[spare lintel]

i installed mint few weeks ago, had to reinstall cause i didnt know wayland is not supported, and i was annoyed with taskbar. was not able to get clock and other panels visible on 2nd monitor. KDE plasma is far better when it comes with OS looks and sadly manjaro (distro which i used to use the most in past is a joke now)

[full fossil]

ah well i can somewhat say fuck it

[near nymph]

Snap packs are disgusting

[rare stone]

What's wrong with Ubuntu I'm using Linux for the first time ever this year

[full fossil]

yes and thats why i dont keep them

[summer nebula]

Question, which laptop is better? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/loq-laptops/lenovo-loq-16aph8/82xu000yus?clickid=XcN06SzmFxyPWxCw423c4zohUkF1EBW1WVlwT40&irgwc=1&PID=3667585&acid=ww%3Aaffiliate%3Abv0as6&cid=us%3Aaffiliate%3Acxsaam or https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-with-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-1tb-ssd-mecha-grey/6535503.p?skuId=6535503&irclickid=Vy-S3kzmFxyPTP43vTRjCQKBUkF1EBUlWVlwT40&irgwc=1&ref=198&loc=Jarrod Farncomb&acampID=0&mpid=2471149&intl=nosplash ?

[rare stone]

Don't get a tuf 15

Terrible keyboard

[fierce moth]

Flatpak is way better

[rare stone]

Has a bandrol ussie

[summer nebula]

Keyboard down bad huh?

[rare stone]

Yes

[near nymph]

Lenovo has better CPU

[rare stone]

Get a dell if possible

[near nymph]

Asus has better GPU. Pick your poison

[summer nebula]

I want the one that can run cod games smoothly

New and old cpd zombies

[fierce moth]

Got a gamecube coming in for a mod on Saturday

[rare stone]

Asus f15 will have a keyboard ussie

Eventually it will always does fuck you f15

Asus put a glorified hp office keyboard to it

[summer nebula]

[fierce moth]

I always loved thinkpad keebs

[near nymph]

Thinkpad keyboard ftw

Too bad Lenovo gonna fucked the thinkpad brand. Makes everything overpriced and then heavily discounted last gen stuff to regular prices

[fierce moth]

I gotta get a new laptop, but I'm gonna wait till Christmas

[near nymph]

I'm waiting for better AMD laptop options

The 7840u seems like very good deal

[fierce moth]

I'd love to get a framework but I don't wanna be on a wait list

So might go with a surface or something dell related

[vapid smelt]

m1 macbook > framework

[fierce moth]

I don't want Apple software

[tired glade]

But battery replacement and saving on upgrades

[vapid smelt]

but battery life and performance

[fierce moth]

But no on die ram

[tired glade]

I would choose extra batteries over battery life

[fierce moth]

Id prefer a somewhat upgradeable system compared to a single config

[stiff shore]

that costs triple for the same specs if not upgradeable

[tired glade]

Framework need to get extra modular for cooling to overcome performance difference

[fierce moth]

I mean you could upgrade the CPU if the bga pads are the same lol

[tired glade]

It should be cheaper if you replacing just motherboard

[fierce moth]

But I'm sure bga rework ain't fun

[stiff shore]

the framework gaming laptop with an 8core and a 3060/3070 tier dgpu (rx 7700s)
for just the body and mainboard (no ram, no storage, literlaly no ports on the side picked yet) is more expensive than rtx 4080 full laptops

[tired glade]

Yea,they need to change to socket CPU/Apu for laptops in future

[manic torrent]

hardly that simple, but yes, an m1 macbook is cheaper and more suitable for many people.

[manic torrent]

not happening.

[tired glade]

It was done before

[manic torrent]

when exactly

[stiff shore]

u have to really believe in repairability to pay for that massive overpriced
and u realistically arent gonna break even in upgrades for like, 40 years

[tired glade]

3950x last socket CPU

[near nymph]

Framework 16 doesn't make sense since people with that laptop want to be on the bleeding edge. Which means constant changes to the screen and main board. At the end of the day it'll be cheaper to just buy a new laptop every year or two. So you can get new enclosure and laptop and stuff which wont have signs of wear and tear cuz new.

[manic torrent]

huh what?

[tired glade]

Or they upgrade to 5950x bios

[manic torrent]

we're talking about laptops

[tired glade]

https://youtu.be/PfttM2H1-L0

Yes,3950x in laptop

[manic torrent]

yeah that's not a laptop

[fierce moth]

Didn't dell do a shit upgradable laptop that had a desktop CPU?

[near nymph]

Alienware? I wouldn't consider that upgradable

[manic torrent]

it's a very small portable desktop.

[tired glade]

I think that only workstation laptop

[near nymph]

For a laptop with a desktop processor. I would expect it to be delided atleast

[tired glade]

Question was had anyone did it, Dell did it

[stiff shore]

and that gimmick already lost value because current laptops have desktop performance even without needing the desktop socket bs

[manic torrent]

yes, has anyone done it realistically, in an actual laptop, not a weird edge case

[stiff shore]

like today they just straight up put 7950x3d and 13900k dies on laptop

and it still gets nearly the same performance

[tired glade]

Point of pga transition was to remove that possibility

[jaunty compass]

I'm planning on buying a framework 16" mostly for repairability; i've had bad luck with random parts of laptops dying in the past

[stiff shore]

7945hx gets 36k in cbr23 in relatively not thick gaming laptops

[tired glade]

7950x3d absolutely possible in laptop

[manic torrent]

so the move to PGA was galaxy brian move to prevent sockets in laptops!?

[near nymph]

It's not a good product lol

[tired glade]

Do we have date for 7945hx3d?

[jaunty compass]

is it even out yet

[tired glade]

Yes

[full fossil]

hey bob

[full fossil]

What isn't a good product

[stiff shore]

theyre already letting preorders
its already fair to make assumptions basedon what ur getting

[manic torrent]

yeah, that sounds like unsubstantiated garbage that doesn't pass Occam's Razor.

[near nymph]

Framework 16 isn't a good product if you wanna stay latest gen.

[tired glade]

Who?

[jaunty compass]

that's not something I really plan on doing tbh

[manic torrent]

You.

[tired glade]

No clue

[manic torrent]

hello

[near nymph]

Fair. But to get a similar spec laptop you can get it for a fraction of the price

[tired glade]

Who is Occam razor?

[manic torrent]

cite sources

[full fossil]

hows ya day

[jaunty compass]

I mostly want it for the repairability; and i don't plan on upgrading for a while

i'll be keeping it for probably 3 laptops worth of time

[manic torrent]

Barely started and already full of bullshit

[full fossil]

damn

[stiff shore]

which is appropriate because in the price of the base 16 model with dgpu u can get 3 laptops of the same performance lmao

[jaunty compass]

if there's a huge perf per watt jump or big dip in power consumption i'll upgrade it; and one thing i'm really liking is that i'll be able to put the old boards into a 3d printed case

that's a thing that I really like and will definitely do

[tired glade]

Arm is arm in the end

[jaunty compass]

the framework 13" my grandmother has was a very solid device from what I used; but i just need more power

I'm hoping that the framework 16" gets a mechanical keyboard option

I've only seen it on like alienwares and some weird chinese laptops in the past

[tired glade]

Suggest it on their forums

[north iris]

Hi

[jaunty compass]

hello

[full fossil]

well picked up 2 new 2.5in ssds for 30$ sp A55 512gb

[past egret]

like scissor switches?

[tired glade]

Oh, again cheap ssd on market

[past egret]

the framework is not deep enough for a full size mx switch

[full fossil]

dont know why but a 2 pack was cheap as hell

[jaunty compass]

like the MX low profile or ultra low profile keyboard switches

[past egret]

choc maybe

[tired glade]

Looks like get rid of stock

[full fossil]

maybe

[past egret]

but i highly doubt it, the framework is really thin

[tired glade]

It happened a few times in the last 2 months

[full fossil]

well it needs to happen more lol

[jaunty compass]

I feel like they could fit the ultra low profile ones on the 16"

[tired glade]

Aren't there very small light based switched on market with mechanical feel?

[past egret]

yeah thats a scissor switch

[tired glade]

3.5mm that is very small

[past egret]

yeah those will fit

theyre already on the macbook pros, thou not from cherry i think

ive typed on them before its pretty good

[sly burrow]

my case's power LED has been hooked up to the HDD light connector since i built it years ago and i just never fixed it

ive grown to embrace the blink

[full fossil]

hmmmm

[manic torrent]

nice. perfect for a budget build

[manic torrent]

wtf full size

[full fossil]

yep i am using it for my proxmox build here soon

waiting for a gpu to come in

[past egret]

ive seen laptops with full size mx switches

[manic torrent]

"laptops"

a typical keyboard is thicker than a whole laptop, screen included.

[past egret]

bad design obviously

there was also a brief while in early 00s with expanding keyboards, thou i forgot what theyre called

[manic torrent]

Hell, my K1 low profile keyboard is similar thickness to the XPS13

[indigo plume]

Do you think apple will make a Eu version on iPhone that has USBC and a america version with lighting cable cuz I feel like apple would be that petty

Since Eu forcing them to use usb c

[manic torrent]

It is entirely plausible

[dusky osprey]

I don't see them doing that frankly

[indigo plume]

I do

Apple is very stubborn

[vapid smelt]

apple makes allot of money with their lighting" cables

[indigo plume]

I ordered my embody chair gunna take 3 weeks to arrive dafuq

Ordered one since gaming chairs were 20% off

[full fossil]

i bet apple will make a 40$ usb c cable.

[manic torrent]

They've done shit like it before - but you're right it would make more sense just to go USB C everywhere. Apple does what apple does though

[manic torrent]

you mean lightning?

[white fractal]

Nah, apple will just make lightning cables with usb-c connectors.

[vapid smelt]

yeah

[indigo plume]

Why don't Herman miller make head rest for chairs

[vapid smelt]

that chair cost nearly as much as my whole setup

[indigo plume]

Yeah they expensive AF

[dusky osprey]

straight up is more expensive than mine

[indigo plume]

I bought it since I've been working alot of overtime so I can afford it

And it's better to take care of back now then regret it when I'm 40

London Drugs have occasional sales.

London Drugs is my favourite store ❤️ but they don't sell ethical coffee in large bags

[warm dust]

I never buy anything other than overweightea pure Ceylon. I think I'm their biggest individual customer. The manager was at the till one day and told me to tell them if I ever move so they don't overstock the next shipment

London drugs is expensive and out of the way here. I normally go to superstore (mostly because of the lumberjack sandwiches)

[near nymph]

Lmfao wat

[near nymph]

London drugs is expensive but... They price match and theyre rly chill.

[warm dust]

I'm there every day basically and I get a box every few times I'm in

Price match is too much of a pain to deal with

[near nymph]

I've been a long time London Drugs customer. They have good prices when they put stuff on sale.

[warm dust]

Also the staff at my branch is kind of rude... Maybe because they get robbed every other week

[near nymph]

Even if I overpay for something by a little bit. IDGAF at London Drugs. They treat me well. Also they gave me a shit ton of RedBull at LTX23

[warm dust]

I go to London drugs every once in a while to check out what records they're selling or if I need some random thing only they sell but I stay away otherwise

[maiden inlet]

Hi what is the benefit of the labs to ltt like all i can see is dumping a lot of money with no return for them don't get me wrong i love the idea of keeping a database with useful stuff but what will it bring to ltt in terms of value and cash?

[warm dust]

Idk the site didn't load price for me but they're 25$ in Leduc as of friday

[vapid smelt]

half the price (usd) 😛

[warm dust]

Better reporting is the only justification I can see

[warm dust]

Amazon

I have a 30% success rate of amazon delivering my packages

[vapid smelt]

wtf

[dreamy rose]

out of how many?

[warm dust]

I think one of the fulfillment workers hates me

[warm dust]

Maybe 40? 30% was rough but it's definitely under half

[fathom bone]

I think you miss the value in data

[vapid smelt]

i got a 99% success rate

[warm dust]

The issue is how will they extract that value

[fathom bone]

My bet is a third party testing service

[obtuse raven]

IIRC, Linus has said that the goal is exactly that. To have an accurate database of parts and accessories (complete with benchmarks when applicable), and to keep manufacturers honest

[fathom bone]

Need your stuff tested? Send it to LinusTechLabs

[dreamy rose]

they wanted to make it like a UBM kinda benchmarking site thats not shit.

[warm dust]

I can't see a company going with a testing lab if they can't advertise the results and as far as I've heard linus' stance on the wan show is he doesn't want to have companies advertise the results they get from the testing

I probably misinterpreted that though. I listen to wan show exclusively when I'm working in a loud mill :P

[vapid smelt]

shill

[verbal iris]

Anyone here who knows if my motherboard aorus b450 elite v2 will fit with ddr5 ram?

[vapid smelt]

no

[verbal iris]

As in : u dont know or it isnt compatible

[obtuse raven]

Just DDR4

[vapid smelt]

no b450 board cant* use ddr5

[obtuse raven]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-Elite-V2-rev-1x#kf

[maiden inlet]

so effectively the lab is a sink hole with no obvious way to recoup there cost from it? or will they outsource the software to other companies with a monthly fee?

like what they did to markbench

[pulsar violet]

Is it me but is the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Header absolute garbage?

[verbal iris]

Wait 2 ppls say different thing, i am confused

[vapid smelt]

b450 boards /am4 can only use ddr4 ram

[verbal iris]

Aah oke

So its better if i just buy 2x16gb insted of buying an entire motherboard and ddr5?

[near nymph]

Wait B450 can be AM5 and AM 4?

[vapid smelt]

no am5 is ryzen 7000 with b650 and such

[vapid smelt]

if you buy a new mother board to use ddr5 memory you would allso need a cpu

[obtuse raven]

B650 is AM5

[verbal iris]

I have a ryzen 5 3200mhz

[vapid smelt]

thats not a cpu

[misty drum]

yo anybody here know stuff about pc builds? and would be able to tell me if it’s good or if something should be changed?

[verbal iris]

Bruh now im confused sry i am noob

[vapid smelt]

@verbal iris https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu/#sort=-price&page=1 here is a list of all the cpus can use DDR5 ram

[misty drum]

2k

[vapid smelt]

open up task manger and tell us whats on the top right

[warm dust]

What about Celeron?

[near nymph]

Celeron poopy

[vapid smelt]

what about them

[verbal iris]

i cant send screen shot some how

[vapid smelt]

type it out

[verbal iris]

AMD Ryzen 3600 6-core processor

[warm dust]

The new ones support ddr5

[vapid smelt]

yes

[warm dust]

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/96163/intel-celeron-processor-g6900-4m-cache-3-40-ghz.html

[warm dust]

Not on the list though :(

[vapid smelt]

it is

[verbal iris]

i sent

[warm dust]

I refuse to believe those particular cpus is on that particular list

[pliant karma]

only ddr4 support

[jaunty compass]

celeron 6900...nice

[verbal iris]

aah oke so reckon i get 2 16gb sticks if i want to play escape from tarkov then?

[jaunty compass]

we need some celerons with E cores

[vapid smelt]

can only use ddr4 to upgrade to ddr5 you need new ram,motherboard, and cpu

[warm dust]

Why

[verbal iris]

i aint got that money xD

[jaunty compass]

a celeron with 2 p cores and 4 e cores would be awesome for a low end system

[verbal iris]

dd4 it izz

[warm dust]

You just described pentium...

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/226449/intel-pentium-gold-processor-8500-8m-cache-up-to-4-40-ghz.html

[verbal iris]

u guys have and ddr4 2x16 ram u reccomend or isnt there a specific good one?

[opaque tundra]

that just sounds like Celerons

[warm dust]

The one that is cheap

[jaunty compass]

clearly intel thought e cores on a celeron was a great idea too

considering they already did it

[warm dust]

Yep

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZCVHS8?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[jaunty compass]

E cores seem like a huge boon for super low end system given their performance is actually quite decent

[warm dust]

Most pentiums are 1/2 p core and rest e cores

[jaunty compass]

except the Pcore can only turbo to fucking 1.1ghz on the celeron

they fucked it up

[vapid smelt]

faster then you

[jaunty compass]

....okay?

[verbal iris]

aah ok tyty

[vapid smelt]

celeron chrome books dont need p cores that go over 1.1ghz

[warm dust]

I want to put 128gb ddr5 on a celeron 6900

Damn base frequency is 300mhz...

300mhz cpus were around in 1999 didn't know that

[polar fern]

Chromebooks need to not be 90 day ewaste

macbook m1

[vapid smelt]

[tardy terrace]

Even I've considered a macbook as a near-permanent upgrade over my chromebook

[indigo plume]

dont think using mac is good idea when i have no other apple products

[manic torrent]

There might be one more appropriate, but you can buy a macbook m1 anywhere on the planet and it will sovle 98% of peoples laptop related desires

[manic torrent]

incorrect

[indigo plume]

and idk how to use apple os

[tardy terrace]

colorful screen, high nits, good ram, decent storage, and a good cpu w/ battery life

[indigo plume]

id prefer windows

[manic torrent]

Are you an absolute pinecone smallbrain idiot?

[tardy terrace]

God never change, bob

[manic torrent]

... EVEN THEN you can use MacOS. It's not that hard.

[indigo plume]

I just like things im used to

[manic torrent]

haha, it's too late for that anyway 😄

[tardy terrace]

I was like you, then I started learning linux CLI & trueNAS

now I can use w/e comfortably

[indigo plume]

dont think ill ever use linux

[tardy terrace]

You should, it's fun!

[indigo plume]

other than steam deck

[tardy terrace]

I'm still a complete nub

[gray pollen]

Just put windows on the mac

[indigo plume]

two words anti cheat

[tardy terrace]

..You don't need to completely switch your environment, you realize that, right?

There's this really dope thing called windows subsystem for linux (WSL) that's basically like a hypervisor running linux in a container, and you can set up your own GUI

[indigo plume]

i looked at that mac it only 13 inch

[manic torrent]

yes, it's a laptop.

[indigo plume]

too small want atleast 15

[manic torrent]

that's how big laptops are.

[indigo plume]

my current one is like 16 somting

at 13 inch that basiclt size of a tablet

[manic torrent]

honestly any laptop over 15 is portable, not actually a laptop

[neon mesa]

WSL is a bigger reason i will never truly switch to linux kek

things that require linux i just fire up WSL

[indigo plume]

I mean i only use it in my house i dont take it ouside

i just use it for watching stuff on my bed and stuff

[tardy terrace]

But it's SO GOOD

[manic torrent]

I literally used WSL to run a proof of concept web based system to do end of life archiving from MS365 storage.

[indigo plume]

do u have 5 monitors

[tardy terrace]

...yes

[manic torrent]

they are different tools, for different problems

[indigo plume]

wth

[manic torrent]

you don't?

[tardy terrace]

[indigo plume]

and I thought my 3 monitors was too many

[manic torrent]

tbh I'm really only on three and a bit

[tardy terrace]

the two portraits are old '07 dell business monitors that have RCA & composite video inputs, as well as 12v out, and a usb hub integrated
(I love them to bits)

[indigo plume]

well either way id prefer laptop with atleast 15inch

[manic torrent]

keepass is monolithic. bitwarden is a more modern approach

[indigo plume]

[indigo plume]

wait a min only 500

[manic torrent]

it's a bit shit in terms of specs, but as a secondary machine for watching stuff, that is fucking AMAZING value

[neon mesa]

i got 3 "monitors"

[tardy terrace]

w/ 16gb ram I could use it as a daily mobile driver and a terminal for all my server-y things

[vapid smelt]

dececnt cpu

[manic torrent]

yeah the ram is really holding it back. If it has socketed ram it's a deal

[tardy terrace]

Doubt it w/ how slim it is...

[vapid smelt]

asus website

[tardy terrace]

yep, soldered

[manic torrent]

yeah. Still, I would absolutely buy it as a secondary machine.

[tardy terrace]

would be a decent linux lappy

[gray pollen]

Probably half soldered like zephyrus line

[tardy terrace]

minimal GUI, save the fancy shit for the browser/terminal

[tardy terrace]

Either all socketed or all soldered, stop w/ the mix & matching

[gray pollen]

I'd rather half soldered than all soldered but yeah

[tardy terrace]

once you add that second stick on a half-soldered machine you're tanking the stock memory speeds

[gray pollen]

In gaming you can't tell a difference and anything that requires more than 16gb benefits from the amount vs higher clock speed so...

Your audio drivers aren't installed.

what have you tried to fix the problem

[worthy needle]

i tried to install realtek drivers 2 different times from 2 websites and nothing is working. Maybe i’m just a pc noob or maybe a file got deleted

Look up your motherboard and grab the drivers, or go under windows update>misc updates, select w/e looks like an audio driver, install, reboot

if this doesn't work, #1027757333117415424

also if I go to audio devices and there's less than eleventy billion options, I am sad

i put something in there not to long ago. It shows the warning icon im talking about

is it possible an audio file got deleted and if so would it be possible to recover?

plenty lol I can't be bothered to care. I just use my mac and say nothing

when i was talking about them it was after steve jobs

do they watch LTT?

[dreamy rose]

what professionals?

[full fossil]

all of them

[dreamy rose]

they only watch mac Address cause its got Mac in the name

[full fossil]

[pliant karma]

this is just my opinion but Iike the production and editing more on mac address then the main ltt channel minus a few videos lol

[dreamy rose]

but fr, out of the biggest 4, Mac is easily weakest.

i said it. BSD is better

[full fossil]

i think its editing videos/photography or whatever you would call it that's best for mac

[full fossil]

hmmm, that doesn't equate to operating profits.

[dreamy rose]

its only if you use apple exclusive apps that its better.

[full fossil]

oh oke

because well. they are apple exclusive

Windows is a shitshow and BSD is lacking far behind Linux in Support. yet Linux is the only based option now

also hit or miss but adobe has been more stable on my mac then pc so there is that

not the same for everyone but just my experience

[full fossil]

yea im not big into editing vids and that (ive done it but that was for school work)

[indigo plume]

i might end up buying a tablet insead of laptop

[dreamy rose]

Windows is packing in major Spyware and bloatware, Mac is in another dimension of Suck. BSD is mainly used for specialized systems/ being a base for Mac. Linux just. sits there being the GOAT.

cuz laptops too expensive

[full fossil]

the next 4-5 years

[dreamy rose]

you see? that's windows now. not 10. 10 dies next year.

[full fossil]

which one costs goddamn 200?

[indigo plume]

most laptops I see are 1500+

[full fossil]

tbf if you're only watching Netflix and youtube Chromebooks might be smth to look into

oh and lemme remind you they charge you 200 dollars more for 8 gigs....

[indigo plume]

canadian prices

[dreamy rose]

m2 macbook. 200 dollars to add another 8GB RAM. watch the LTT video again

[full fossil]

it's not like they're going to update my computer when its off?

[full fossil]

yeah 200 for 8gb, thought 200 was for the whole product lol
at that price, maybe a cloth.

[indigo plume]

the zenbook like 1600 dollars like cmon bruv

where is laptop just for media consumtpon that aint expensive af

[dreamy rose]

Apple is just outright scammin and everyones happy to pay. its pure bullshit

[indigo plume]

this why Im prob getting a tablet insead of laptop

[full fossil]

chromebooks....

[indigo plume]

better off getting a tablet than a chromebook

[full fossil]

Apple isnt scamming its just their users that are paying for the logo

[dreamy rose]

they cant make you update. buy you really wanna be ass naked with no Antivirus support?

[full fossil]

ill just get bitfender atp

[dreamy rose]

well, have fun with Defender then.

[full fossil]

zenbooks are for 'creators', pretty sure most high end chrome books cost like 500 or so

it just isnt justified enough for me to switch

[indigo plume]

and aint chrombook os bad

[full fossil]

its just linux

[dreamy rose]

they are flashing regular laptops with ChromeOS now. and they seem to be making ChromeOS more inline with a distro now

hopefully Chrome OS can be unconsidered its own thing and give itself to the Linux marketshare stats. as it should already have long ago

Linux would be at 6%, where it actually is right now.

[indigo plume]

Isn't the s8 tab ultra just a tablet with its 14" screen

Just a laptop*

4. Do not spam, shitpost, troll, or advertise. This includes (but is not limited to) gameservers unrelated to LTT (eg. private Minecraft servers), low-quality content (such as memes or recycled posts, etc), general spam, religion, and politics. If you're not sure your post is allowed, it likely isn't.

[unkempt widget]

i shit on average around 23 times a month

[full fossil]

dont tell me what to do

[unkempt widget]

no my metabolism is just slower

[full fossil]

oddly specific

[gray pollen]

My doctor said it's common for biological women to be constipated regularly 🤷‍♀️ I eat almost exclusively broccoli. About every 3 days is my average.

[unkempt widget]

that does not sound very healthy

[tardy terrace]

your motility must be terribad..

[unkempt widget]

eating only brocolli every 3 days?

[gray pollen]

That's why I went to the doctor

[gray pollen]

I eat 12 ounces of broccoli every day 😅

[full fossil]

i eat almost exclusively meat... because im shit at side dishes

[tardy terrace]

brocc w/ garlic & a little butter is so good..

[unkempt widget]

i eat whatever i feel like at this point tbh

[gray pollen]

I roast it like that in the oven, then depending on my mood add tomato sauce or egg or just eat it "plain".

[gray pollen]

Same

[unkempt widget]

eww plain broccoli???

[tardy terrace]

you could do a creamy alfredo pesto dip

[gray pollen]

Plain as in butter garlic roasted

[full fossil]

broccoli is better than what people say it is

[unkempt widget]

oh that makes more sense

[tardy terrace]

broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus, green beans..
all that shit slaps

[gray pollen]

As long as it's washed and seasoned I agree.

[gray pollen]

That's why i put plain in quotes, my b tho

[unkempt widget]

if it's plain it just tastes mildly flavorless and slightly bitter and leaves a bitter aftertaste

[tardy terrace]

broccoli salad w/ cranberries & cashews?? god YES

[gray pollen]

I do not like green beans tho.

[manic torrent]

I made pasta for dinner

[unkempt widget]

it's actually brussels sprouts

[tardy terrace]

broosel sproots

[gray pollen]

What kind of pasta?

[tardy terrace]

my way's more fun

[unkempt widget]

also green beans taste horrible

[manic torrent]

beef tortellini with napoli sauce

[unkempt widget]

it's not horrible actually

[tardy terrace]

green beans w/ onion, butter, salt, pepper..

[unkempt widget]

i wouldn't call it offensive, it's just lacking in flavour and its texture is rather unpleasant

[tardy terrace]

a pile of mini potatoes w/ some parmesan on top, hohh

[full fossil]

if something is unseasoned it isnt done right

[gray pollen]

Sounds amazing. From scratch?

[unkempt widget]

how much money on he's gonna respond with "nothing's from scratch"

[manic torrent]

hhaahahahahahahahahahah. I work full time, I have a 5yo son.

[full fossil]

idk what typa broccoli u lot have but ours is tasty

[full fossil]

mmm

[unkempt widget]

it tastes fine if there's other stuff covering its taste

[gray pollen]

Sure, but it also means that lots of people think they don't like it because they haven't experienced it properly prepared.

[full fossil]

it tastes fine imo

[tardy terrace]
