Mid 2017 manufacture date, MSI model MS-16K2

gonna use it a bit longer, Ill likely end up replacing it, not sure of its integrity, just want an opinion on that, Ive never held a laptop pack like that before

[sick coral]

Is this rare? What could it cost? Also is
it fake or real? (i mean the controller)
Thanks.

[dreamy rose]

what? you think we are gonna call the kitty fake?

[tepid jasper]

it's fake

it's a government drone

[gleaming compass]

has the cat meow, scratched or hissed yet?

[dreamy rose]

no but he looks sad. no fake cat is gonna look sad

[gleaming compass]

that is what the cat AI wants you to think

Translucent plastic Sony PS2 controller wasn't that rare. It is probably real but also probably not worth much.

It would be more rare and have higher value if you can prove it was one used by OceanGate but if you make up a story like that then the scam might ... implode.

[visual fern]

just say they replaced the controller, and yours is the old one

[gleaming compass]

Is it too soon for OceanGate jokes? :(

[harsh quartz]

why do people keep naming companies "__Gate" and expecting good things to happen

[gleaming compass]

To be fair, I don't think there was any foreshadowing for the Watergate Hotel that using gate in the name could be cursed yet

[harsh quartz]

no but they keep doing it

[gleaming compass]

So far Chicago hasn't be cursed by having Cloud Gate ... yet

But it is also nicknamed "the bean"

[harsh quartz]

thats because its a physical gate, its not a company or corporation

also, yeah, i would argue that chicago is fucked up, whether its cause of the bean or not remains to be seen

[gleaming compass]

Riot Games seem happy enough with it

[strange elk]

I am determining your opinions are "I dont care" "Its completely safe" and "shut up"

Thank you for your input (Oh, and the obligatory "I dont know"

and tldr

[harsh quartz]

what in the absolute fuck are you going on about

[strange elk]

lipo batteries

[harsh quartz]

yeah, the obligatory "i dont know just google it" is a good option here

[olive stump]

-que 50000 tourists taking photos of themselves “flicking it”-

[harsh quartz]

we saw the bean and didnt even look twice at it when we were in chicago

i seem to remember its in a nice little park tho

[gleaming compass]

We are still promoting Alphabet's anti-privacy search engine?!

[low rain]

More important question, why wouldn’t u just put your pc on your desk??

[gleaming compass]

I think they started with conclusion being the problem and then worded the rest of the question to lead up to that issue

Based on the number of reddit up votes, it seems coming up with a clickbait "problem" such as this "works"

iPhone 15 presentation was so amazing
it changed how I think about life

[dreamy rose]

who. posted this? u/PCFarter?

[molten osprey]

No i have a repo with stuff in it

[gleaming compass]

which part? the camera bulge that makes sure it can't sit flat on a table? the adaptive island that android phones have had for years? the continued lack of fingerprint reader to force acceptance that face id is "good"?

or that they finally put a screen protector standard on the phone?

SE is the only model that will do fingerprint because it doesn't have face id

[molten osprey]

bc fingerprint is shit

[spice pine]

they dropped fingerprint in lieu of faceID

in all honesty, faceid works better than 90% of android fingerprint sensors

faster too 🤷‍♀️

[olive stump]

This is a weird flex

[lilac bear]

OnePlus....

[gleaming compass]

that doesn't take much but at the same time they could cheaply provide a good fingerprint reader in addition to face id

[lilac bear]

THATS what you're flexing? 😂

[spice pine]

Not denying that at all. More security options is better.

[molten osprey]

[dreamy rose]

this event sounds like it was boring as fuck. Typical with Apple

[gleaming compass]

best part of the iphone 15 announcement was that two iphone uses can use ultra wideband to pin point stalk each other :P

[spice pine]

also feels weird to point out the back of iphones aren’t flush considering the $200 budget androids typically have the same issue. not saying it’s good either way, but it’s hardly an Apple-unique issue

[gleaming compass]

some features for android are just put in to claim to have the feature and never really polished out

[spice pine]

OnePlus can’t even decide if they’re Oppo phones or not

[lilac bear]

OnePlus copium is intense here

[molten osprey]

I fucking hate the whole "nothing' brand

[spice pine]

i’ve got some N10s, N100s, N20s, and N200s to sell you

[gleaming compass]

Motorola z-mods, HTC 3D phone, etc

[molten osprey]

it can go die in hell mid ah company

[dreamy rose]

at least Android phones are first to features and dont rebrand them years later like Apple does

[lilac bear]

I like how people here think Apple only just now adapted to USB-C

[gleaming compass]

My O+ was going 3 months without any security updates

[lapis roost]

this is a certified ipad pro 2018 moment

[lilac bear]

when MacBook was one of the first

[dreamy rose]

they are correct though. they've killed off lightning on all products now.

[gleaming compass]

I bought the phone through Amazon. Carrier had no control over updates.

[dreamy rose]

they have had USBC on everything else for a while tho

[spice pine]

I’m pretty sure tmo dropped OnePlus aside from their budget devices

[lilac bear]

it is a weird issue that it took until now for iPhone to move over
but it was only the iPhone and AirPods
everything else is USB-C for the past few years

[spice pine]

and their budget devices aren’t terrible but i have a hard time recommending them

I haven’t heard from my OP rep in years so… i kinda doubt it

the mini lunchbox is kinda cool tho

[dreamy rose]

they've shot themselves in the foot holding onto Shytening so long.

[lilac bear]

pretty much

[spice pine]

Just buy a Revvl

I’d recommend a Revvl 6X Pro now just bc it has 256gb compared to most other budget phones

[dreamy rose]

imagine being the kid that brings that lunchbox to school
"hey mate what lunchbox has you got this year?"
"my lunchbox has the ninja turtles on it, how about yours?"
"oh, it has the brand of my Dad's phone on it"

[lilac bear]

Zenfone, Xperia, Motorola, NothingPhone, Xiaomi, Essential (?)

[spice pine]

tbh it was a promotional charging kit in it originally i think

[spice pine]

Moto is the only one of those that has Band 71 support

[lilac bear]

oh lmao

[spice pine]

which is a majority of tmo’s spectrum

[signal echo]

Huuh

[lilac bear]

oh god

[spice pine]

well, “majority” but

We sell motorolas

My assistant manager just got the razr+, seems like a great phone

SuperVOOC is a stupid name.

[dreamy rose]

i hate how good phones dont have headphone jacks but phones with Headphone jacks are decent at best.

[lilac bear]

true

[spice pine]

hehe

[lilac bear]

Xperia and Zenfone are great
just only 3yrs and 2yrs of support and high price entry

[spice pine]

i am going to absolutely clown on “audiophiles” all day long

[dreamy rose]

both Dongles and Bluetooth are ass. Dongles because of what they are and BT because its shit for Audio

[spice pine]

modern Bluetooth is perfectly fine for audio

get out while you can, it’s all lies

[lilac bear]

it's good enough but it's not exactly better than wired

[dreamy rose]

no. BT has latency and its just really annoying to deal with. i'm fine with Quality but i need it to not suck ass with Latency to enjoy it

[spice pine]

🤷‍♀️ if i’m listening to music i promise i don’t care if it’s on my airpods pro or my DT770pro 250ohms

Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely some quality differences between them and like you’re saying, bluetooth’s major purpose is convenience, but still

[lilac bear]

honestly lol

[hearty spear]

bro the new apple event is disappointing ngl

the only good thing is they changed the port to usbc

Zenfone, Xperia, and Galaxy A54

or whatever A series

[lilac bear]

I'm surprised no one has been shitting on Apple for custom shortcut physical button now

when it used to be a thing on Android, before no one cared

[spice pine]

why shit on improvements, no matter how delayed? 🤷‍♀️ think it makes sense to change a switch most people don’t mess with to a button you can repurpose

[lilac bear]

you'd be surprised how many people blindly hate Apple

unless you meant to me, which no, I am not shitting on Apple

[spice pine]

Nah, not saying you are, but i’m sure someone is trying to with that argument lmfao

[sand thicket]

look apple has good products if we ignore the zero repairablility and pricee

[polar fern]

no home button = unlikely to buy

and it's one of the best ones for a phone if replacing

Anything about mini?

[graceful mortar]

i use 8.5 gallons of fuel per day (322.575 KWh) 14.5 MPG
~120 miles per day. 5-6 days a week
$4.79/ gallon = $40.75 per day= $0.34 per mile
@ 2 mi/kw that would be 60KWh = $8.40 per day on standard rate. ($4.02 on EV plan) [$0.07, $0.03]

thought on swatching to EV?

[strange elk]

Phoenix (AZ)

Says it on the chart

[graceful mortar]

me, the one im looking at. not much can go wrong that would require a EV certified tech. those items are big money items i would take to a shop regardless, just due to component cost

[lilac bear]

or does it

[strange elk]

says phoenix and US on a chart based on daily gas prices in a region, not too hard to imply

[graceful mortar]

50KW+ only filtered btw

[strange elk]

why does it look like superglue is breathing on glass

this is a verified at 70 mph avg. likely will do better IRL. but dont have one to test so assumed low

Oh you're talking about the lighting or whatever

[graceful mortar]

(because my driving wont be at 70 mph constant. mostly 60/40 city to highway BUT city is on 50 mph roads)

What do you guys think would have faster encoding? a RX550 or Intel HD 530?

[keen cedar]

Indian temple music

[manic torrent]

A warmed up pile of garbage

[edgy moss]

how helpful thank you

[spice pine]

realistically the rx550 but probably not by much

[manic torrent]

Encoding what. Also, video encoding/decoding is generally based on generation rather than specific thing, have you researched this at all?

[edgy moss]

video

[manic torrent]

....

[edgy moss]

im reading a bunch of reddit threads and they only talk about quality, never speed

[manic torrent]

Ok. Let us rewind. What are you trying to achieve. Can you not just..... test it?

[edgy moss]

true

i might actually just do h264 on my cpu

a 1080i source should be easy enough to handle on a 6700k

[manic torrent]

What the fuck 1080i?

[edgy moss]

I tried it, and quicksync was going faster, which was extremely surprising to me.

[edgy moss]

TV streams from my HDhomerun transcoded to plex

[manic torrent]

Why is that so surprising?

[spice pine]

1080i is actually. yummy :3

[edgy moss]

because its a dedicated GPU losing to a cpu media engine. usually not what youd expect

[manic torrent]

They are both ASICs.

[edgy moss]

supposedly skylake 265 sucks, so ill be going with VCE

[fierce moth]

1080i on ps2 is cool

[manic torrent]

Interlacing makes baby Jesus cry. The worst is when a source isn't deinterlaced and is encoded with the interlacing artifacts.

[fierce moth]

Best way to play ps2 games tho

As some homebrew software can force 1080i on all ps2 games

[calm swan]

yea it would still be big

[crisp sedge]

can i install apps from the internet?

on the new iphone

[olive saddle]

I've had my galaxy fold 4 for 6 months now and have babied it as much as possible, yet its already starting to show microcracks in the crease

anyone else have any similar/different experience with these screens? am I just unlucky or is this common

I work at a carrier store and see them all the time. It almost feels like luck, or just some people buy these phones and almost never open them.

of all of them I sell (and see come back eventually, maybe 40% of em within 12mo)
50% are destroyed because some construction worker bought it and didn't care at all

25% have microcracks like mine

25% are flawless (under the screen protector that is almost definitly seperating)

[opal thunder]

its fine

you just probably have bad cell service

i can watch youtube no problem on LTE

[strange elk]

(Sorry, just had to meme rq) In other news im mad at linux command line networking

[opal thunder]

some people just use the outside screen all the time💀

waste of money imo if you bought it for the feature

[strange elk]

Seems I have a similar situation with Crystal Linux. Connected to Zephyr clear as day in the menu, but the installer won't initialize because its not connected to the internet

Honestly gonna take this thing apart, take one of the two screws holding the main board in and reinstall the Ethernet port that I sacrificed for motherboard screws

[olive saddle]

its like 40% out 60% in for me personally

[strange elk]

And that's not a meme, this jalopy came with no screws and a fan broke off the hub.

[heady orchid]

anyone bought the ltt water bottles ?

[spice pine]

i’ve got one. love it

[heady orchid]

how well does the insulation work ?

like if you put ice in how long does itlast

[opal thunder]

i have

[tepid jasper]

the ltt waterbottle is alright

[opal thunder]

depends on how much ice

[spice pine]

i left it with ice water in my hot car for a day, still had ice when i opened it the next day

[opal thunder]

same

[heady orchid]

im considering getting one and sticker bomb it

[strange elk]

Did I get warshipped?

[tepid jasper]

i don't think it's worth it if you're evaluating it from the standpoint of how good it is as a bottle but if you want to support the channel go ahead

[opal thunder]

but it was also like half ice and in my room (during summer it was hot asf>)

[spice pine]

i mean it’s probably not like. the best water bottle in existence but. it’s a great water bottle for the price

[heady orchid]

wdym

[tepid jasper]

it's a bottle that costs 30 usd

you could get insulated bottles that work better for less

[heady orchid]

hm

give me a brand that works better for less

ill gladly buy those

[strange elk]

Funny potato moonshine bottle though

[tepid jasper]

if you're evaluating it from the standpoint of merch then it's value changes

[heady orchid]

im evaluating on performance to price

[tepid jasper]

thermoflasks

[opal thunder]

its decent but the fact that shipping and currency conversion costs are a thing makes it less desirable

[heady orchid]

arent thermoflask super expensive

[spice pine]

yeah if you’re wanting price to performance there’s definitely better buys. but as merch + a water bottle, it’s really solid

[tepid jasper]

aren't ltt bottles super expensive

[heady orchid]

idk

[opal thunder]

yes

[heady orchid]

sounds like it

[spice pine]

aren’t the “mystery” color ones $20?

[heady orchid]

i could careless about the design, i just want a jetblack bottle to put stickers on

[opal thunder]

yes plus currency conversion and shipping

[spice pine]

honestly, totally worth the $20

[heady orchid]

hm maybe ill get thermoflask

[spice pine]

$30 was a little high for it but the build quality is really nice and i like the design

[tepid jasper]

do you live near a costco?

[opal thunder]

100%

[tepid jasper]

they sometimes go on sale there

[heady orchid]

yea

kk ill check

[tepid jasper]

check their online catalogue maybe

[near nymph]

2x 40oz Thermoflasks are $32.99 CAD

[opal thunder]

This is still my favourite design they’ve had

[tepid jasper]

that's 7 dollars before tax less than i paid for my one ltt bottle

[near nymph]

Thermoflasks are super cheap

[tepid jasper]

the design do be cool tho

[near nymph]

AND YOU CAN GET IT 2

[heady orchid]

im in US.

[near nymph]

That's $16.50 CAD per bottle.

[near nymph]

It's even cheaper in the USA. They have it in US Costco

Depending on the warehouse

Even the Waterbottles on Amazon are cheaper than the LTT Waterbottle.

Insulated water bottle still. Works great

[heady orchid]

Hmm

Alright

[opal thunder]

for me it was like 45$ CAD for the ltt water bottle.
(I live in Vancouver so i was a bit surprised at the shipping costs.)

[near nymph]

Just because there is a LTT branding doesn't make it significantly more expensive. In my opinion.

Is it a bad product? No.
Is it worth the money? No
Does the LTT Waterbottle do it's job? Yes

[opal thunder]

splitting so my order number isnt shown

[near nymph]

More.

That's $45 USD

[tepid jasper]

worth the money purely from a performance based standpoint*

it's worth it if you want to just support the channel

[opal thunder]

oh shit you're right

[opal thunder]

the extension isnt on

[near nymph]

That's like $61

[tepid jasper]

it cost me 40 dollars, only because i got mine at ltx

[near nymph]

Mine didn't cost me at LTX. But that's cuz I volunteered. It's a bottle that does it's job. But I don't see the purpose besides supporting LMG. 😂

If I can buy a 2x Thermoflask for less than 1 LTT Waterbottle

Eh. I would go for the cheaper one. Also the Thermoflasks lid seem to be more durable

[opal thunder]

yeah i got a deskpad and the 2nd largest towel for 100$ CAD so i would only buy this merch as merch

[near nymph]

I do prefer the LTT lid doe... if it doesn't break that easily

But I can get those lids off AliExpress

[tepid jasper]

well i dropped my bottle other day and it's mostly fine save for a few scratches

it's surprisingly durable

[opal thunder]

mine came broken thankfully support is decent and instantly got sent a replacement 3 hours after i sent an email. (it didnt come to my house in 3 hours, but they sent it after 3.)

[near nymph]

The only product I think is worth from LTT is the screwdriver lol

I own multiple of them 😄

[tepid jasper]

it is fantastic

[frosty ocean]

Good evening all, how are you?

[opal thunder]

The screwdriver is actually one of the best on the market for ratcheting screwdrivers so the price makes sense

[tepid jasper]

albiet expensive

won't say it's overpriced but it is very expensive

[near nymph]

I mean for PC building sure

I won't call it the best for everything

[frosty ocean]

But realistically, those who buy the driver aren't gonna use it for anything other than PC building

MOstly

[tepid jasper]

that's not true

at all

it's a racheting screwdriver

[pure olive]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[tepid jasper]

people will use it for whatever

[frosty ocean]

Why would I spend that much on something I could spend half the price on, but instead of having that little compartment, I have to change the bit manually

[near nymph]

If you buy it just for PC building and it isn't your job. Sir you there are seriously... mentally.... <Fill in the blank> irresponsible with money

[graceful burrow]

ifixit kit > ltt screwdriver

[frosty ocean]

I feel personally attacked

[near nymph]

Honestly. Wtf is wrong with people buying the screwdriver unless they use it often. It's not worth it otherwise

[near nymph]

Hey fill in the blank yourself

[pure olive]

people either wanting to support the channel or fidget toy just thinking it's neat

[near nymph]

Or that...

That's rly expensive for a fidget toy doe

[opal thunder]

it isn't the best ratcheting screwdriver but its basically the best since the PB Swiss is like double the price.

[tepid jasper]

because it's a nice racheting screwdriver...?

[pure olive]

i bought one as an impulse buy, then canceled it when I came to my senses

[tepid jasper]

for a lot of people yeah

[frosty ocean]

oh mb lemme just: I bought it just for PC building and it isn't my job. I am seriously... mentally.... autisticly irresponsible with money

[frosty ocean]

For 70 dollars tho

[tepid jasper]

and?

[frosty ocean]

thats a tad excessive

[tepid jasper]

how does that correlate with what people will use it for

[near nymph]

Atta boy. If I filled it in I would get banned

[frosty ocean]

thank you xD

[near nymph]

[pliant karma]

that I use to piss off people in my class

[tepid jasper]

LMAO

[frosty ocean]

its just a little expensive for its practicality and usability

[opal thunder]

edit this but bread

[frosty ocean]

fr

[opal thunder]

"You have to use this large book to change into bread"

[pliant karma]

but my ltt screwdriver has markings on it enough so it's been abused to hell

[frosty ocean]

rapid ratcheting intensified

[frosty ocean]

oh fr

[pliant karma]

dropped, used as a hammer, etc the few things I have done to mines

[pure olive]

the most fear I've ever felt was when I was like 9 staying up in the living room watching tv way past my bed time and hearing a creak behind me

[frosty ocean]

"What did you do"

"I BOUGHT THE LTT SCREW DRIVER AND I LIKE NEVER USE IT ANYMORE"

"What did it cost you?"

"$70 FKN DOLLARS DX

[pliant karma]

the battle scars tell everything

[pure olive]

i am feeling the same feeling with my pc in the living room staying up late

[tepid jasper]

yes so this means most people aren't going to use it for anything other than pc building how?

[frosty ocean]

was the abuse worth 70 bucks?

[pliant karma]

yes

[pure olive]

yes

[frosty ocean]

I cant argue with that

[pure olive]

I'd stomp on a newborn baby for a tub of ice cream

[tepid jasper]

i do it for half of that

[frosty ocean]

Yeahm and there isnt anything inherintly wrong with that, its just I dont see a needin the majoprity of peoples lives where they need that, outside of work

[frosty ocean]

"What would YOU do for a Klondike bar?"

[pure olive]

@pliant karma i finished all my schoolwork for the semester and got 100% on most of it, the rest all being above 95%

[vapid cypress]

Most peaceful LTT fan

[pure olive]

I shouldn't have quit piano lessons

[frosty ocean]

🍞

[tepid jasper]

you still haven't answered my question

[pliant karma]

ah nice lol I'm just vibing in my english class. LIterally was watching the apple event today in class

[frosty ocean]

are you is are having stroke

[pliant karma]

bored yes..didn't want to pay attention yes so I watch apple event

[pure olive]

And I'm doing really good with my welds so :3

[tepid jasper]

^

[pure olive]

@pliant karma im already on edge and my cat just scared the shit out of me

[frosty ocean]

It's 70 dollars, and unless I really like LTT (Which ofc I do), I don't see the majority of people needing that expensive of a driver, when they could go to an applience store, and get everything they need fo less than half of that

[tepid jasper]

next time be on firefox instead

[frosty ocean]

Google better frrfr

[tepid jasper]

bro i'm not asking you for the your thoughts on the value of the driver, i'm just asking you how you came to this conclusion

[frosty ocean]

Are... are you reading the message..?

That IS my response to whatever you said, or something

Probably

[tepid jasper]

and how does this argument making any more sense for building computers?

than doing literally anything else

a racheting screwdriver can achieve

[frosty ocean]

Not every average joe is building computer for work, and its a tad expensive to be considered "applicable" to every situation in which someone "needs" a ratcheting screwdriver

Das all im tryna say bruh

[near nymph]

I need a racheting screwdriver cuz servicing my 3D Printers for my business.

[tepid jasper]

i fucking give up

[near nymph]

@tepid jasper calm down "I am seriously... mentally.... autisticly irresponsible with money" says it.

[frosty ocean]

See? That's a need for a screwdriver, and if they want, they spend 70 dollars on a damn screwdriver, because they is a full grown adult (probably), and they can do whateverthey please with they moneZ

[frosty ocean]

ON

GOD

[near nymph]

It's a nice screwdriver. Its just very expensive.

[frosty ocean]

You go to your girls house and see this in her room, wyd?

why did you nail a shoe box to the wall

[pure olive]

[tepid jasper]

oh

good so i can roast the shit out of it

something's not level in the photo

[frosty ocean]

yes

[tepid jasper]

i can't tell if it's the slogan tapestry or the box but it's not level

[pure olive]

my cat is purring real loud

[tepid jasper]

and even if you want to mount something like that on the wall, why not just mount just the lid so it doesn't stick out like a tumor in the wall

[frosty ocean]

In the wise words of Jeffery Dahmer, "If you cant beat em' eat em'" eat your cat

Problem solved

[tepid jasper]

furthermore what's with the random extension cord in the corner

[frosty ocean]

What's with you slandering bros room pic man, he just likes it there

[tepid jasper]

it's not slander if it's factual

or for that matter, written

[pure olive]

hehehehehehehhehehee

[tepid jasper]

that would be libel

[vapid cypress]

Yes

[low rain]

Wtf I’m only 169cm

[dreamy rose]

Here's a hot take

[vapid cypress]

join the Linus crew

You will fit it right in

[dreamy rose]

the PS Vita is a prime example of how to design a Console's Operating System

[vapid cypress]

Ok

[dreamy rose]

it has an OST

a GOOD one

[vapid cypress]

Gets boring quickly

[dreamy rose]

nah uh, not the Vita,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AQha89MGHs

[vapid cypress]

Uh huh

I like my steam deck

You can put a Shrek movie as your intro

Or make like NCS intro would be pretty epic

[dreamy rose]

i would love to be able to remake Big Picture Mode like the way the Vita is set up. just nostalgia mainly but it would be awesome to have custom Big Picture modes.

embrace the full customisability aspect of KDE Plasma and be able to skin big picture.

[vapid cypress]

You could probably do it

[dreamy rose]

i dunno how well you can Skin big picture mode. nor completely change it liike that,

but it would be so cool to have a Vita Like Deck experience.

[vapid cypress]

I think there are tools for it

I just forgor and I'm not home

It's for the steam os not big picture

[junior tide]

its that time again, people going ape over a $1k phone

[dreamy rose]

SteamOS is just an Arch distro that loads Big Picture on its own compositor

[vapid cypress]

So many arguments rn

[dreamy rose]

if you think its anything other than mid you are wrong. but i'm not going to argue over it anyway.

[junior tide]

I get why people like it so much, my issue is the pricetag. I find $1k too much for a phone

[vapid cypress]

Yeah I paid 560€ for a used s22 ultra I think I'm good for a few years

[junior tide]

good camera, good build quality
still, product of a company that screws the customer on every chance? no thank you

[dreamy rose]

as me and my friend were walking to the station from school. i told him that the event happened. he had no idea and only now reaslied they were at 15. he thought there was only 12. they all look the fuckin same and what justfies each being a thousand?

[junior tide]

i use a poco x3 nfc that i paid 150 bucks for

[dreamy rose]

the Sad truth is Apple Fanboys will buy it becasue of the bigger number and not the features

[junior tide]

decent camera, ass build quality but good feature set

it does what i need it to do and it does it well

[vapid cypress]

I used to run xiaomi redmi note 8 pro tho it started to run like crap after 2+ years

[junior tide]

i slap a custom rom the day i get any xiaomi device

[dreamy rose]

All a phone needs to do is make calls and receive texts. any phone made in the last 20 years will do that just fine.

[vapid cypress]

I didn't do that unfortunately

[restive lion]

Just be happy they finally switched to usbc (even if the EU held them at gunpoint to do so)

[junior tide]

i agree, i just need to take pictures and send emails for work

so i need it to do those

[junior tide]

not leaking my life to chinese government nuh uh, not today

[dreamy rose]

however now people think that Scrolling Tiktok is a Mandatory thing and everyone must have an iPhone for that or some stupid shit. theres extra useful stuff then theres TikTok. and cheapass mobile games that have the -IQ Ads

[junior tide]

i am aware this phone when stock, its filled with spyware

so its AOSP time

[restive lion]

The power feeling when you tell people you don't have tiktok is real

[dreamy rose]

you cant be happy with apple unless you are Stupid.

[junior tide]

i was bullied into getting an instagram account so my wife can send me stuff

[restive lion]

Apple has rare wins here and there

Don't worry my gf did the same thing

I drew the line at tiktok though

[dreamy rose]

the last one was Inventing the fuckin iPod but thats all

[junior tide]

she doesnt use tiktok
big W

[vapid cypress]

You leaking stuff to other tho

[junior tide]

yeah but google isnt as intrusive + minimal gapss

[restive lion]

They're only *checks notes* the largest advertising company in the world!

[dreamy rose]

i'll not look at your linked accounts, but do you have a Riot/EGS account?

[tepid jasper]

LMAO

sold soul to tencent gg

[junior tide]

yeah there is no stopping the spying unless you cut yourself off from the system completely

[junior tide]

no

[tepid jasper]

untrue i am in your walls

[junior tide]

get out of my walls man thats not cool

[restive lion]

I'm sorry for your loss

[gentle slate]

yall is it weird to keep powertools in your bedroom?

[junior tide]

no i do it

[tepid jasper]

depends

[gentle slate]

or well tools in general? I have a screwdriver on my nightstand, an exacto knife and a hammer next to my pc, an angle grinder under the bed.. yk

[tepid jasper]

it was fine up until the angle grinder

[gentle slate]

thats for home defense

[restive lion]

You dont keep an angle grinder under your bed?

[dreamy rose]

the Fortnite kids have created a monster and they have no idea it is going to hurt all of us by tracking all of the shit they do. the CCP is the definition of Pervert.

[junior tide]

i have a spirit level on the shelf, a drill under the bed and an electric screwdriver on the nightstand

[restive lion]

Next you're gonna tell me you don't have a chainsaw in your closet

[junior tide]

nah its in the trunk

[restive lion]

Nah bro that's too far away

[junior tide]

well i have a gun

[pliant karma]

lol what about a fire extinguisher next to your bed I have one

[gentle slate]

I have a gas rifle in my wardrobe

[junior tide]

would do the job

[tepid jasper]

ok but thats not as intimidating

[junior tide]

when home server is sketch

[tepid jasper]

imagine you go rob somebody, enter the bedroom and find out its a home invasion

[junior tide]

true

[restive lion]

Does my water bottle count

[tepid jasper]

and that mofo pulls out an angle grinder out from under the bed

[junior tide]

i would run

[pliant karma]

no that is my office lol never know when flames happen so I have one next to the door entrance of my office and one next to bed

extra prepared

[opal thunder]

64oz water bottle?

[gentle slate]

the threat of an angle grinder is higher than a gun, since a gun would imply the person is more sane.

An angle grinder under the bed is an indicator of someone being unhinged

[pliant karma]

this. Dry chemical ones but enough for a electrical fire if it does happen

[opal thunder]

Ong we thinking alike

[tepid jasper]

yhe thought of even using an angle grinder instead of a chainsaw or something is what gets me

[gentle slate]

The homeowner would want to harm you. And they will certainly find a way to do so

[restive lion]

Me when I blast the intruders away with the cannon mounted at the top of my stairs

[tepid jasper]

just like the founding fathers intended

[opal thunder]

real

[dreamy rose]

the blast sets off car alarms as the schrapnel piecerces the walls and windows

[opal thunder]

anyone used this feature yet or just me?

[junior tide]

battery powered or ac

[dreamy rose]

wtf is an Open Party?

[strange elk]

Does anyone know where to find.. Screws?

[junior tide]

home depot

[dreamy rose]

hardware store

[restive lion]

Battery powered but jerry rigged to an electrical cord

[opal thunder]

basically Xbox party but you can assign who can join

[tepid jasper]

me when i die during a home inbasion because my home alone esque traps prove ineffective with anyone above room temp iq as i am not allowed to possess weapons jn maple leaf land

[gentle slate]

battery

[opal thunder]

also allows all of the features discord has in VC

[gentle slate]

how tf am I gonna run at them with a cable

[restive lion]

Long cable

[dreamy rose]

but thats just an Invite Only Party. not an Open One

[tepid jasper]

unplug it and tell them to wait up for you

[junior tide]

protection shield taken off with diamond blade on it eh

[tepid jasper]

and find another outlet

[junior tide]

60ft extension cord

[opal thunder]

open party just allows people from every server you're in to join ig?

[gentle slate]

ngl having a 60ft extension cord for a angle grinder attacks sounds even more unhinged

[restive lion]

I still like my idea

[opal thunder]

nvm its the same thing

[strange elk]

More specifically I need a set for (or just ones compatible with) MSI MS-16K2.

[restive lion]

Battery powered angle grinder jerry rigged to a 100ft electrical cord just chilling under your bed

[gentle slate]

btw scientifically, my house is a very dangerous place to rob

[junior tide]

you can go to a computer repair shop and ask them, they probably wont even charge you for some screws

[gentle slate]

It's under construction with many tools, powertools, metal pipes and shit hanging around

[tepid jasper]

how is it scientific

[strange elk]

I'd rather have them shipped. (US) Dont really have transportation

[gentle slate]

Very high chance that the burglar trips and impales himself on sth, or gets lost in the maze of car parts.

[tepid jasper]

have multiple people tried to rob you

[gentle slate]

yes

[restive lion]

Ok home alone 2

[tepid jasper]

is there controls

[gentle slate]

yes

[junior tide]

email a computer repair store and attach some pictures of where you need em

[tepid jasper]

i.e race gender etc

[junior tide]

they probably know

[tepid jasper]

what about other houses in the neighborhood

[gentle slate]

theres none

i think you've deluded yourself into thinking the PS Vita Sucks

[junior forge]

we got no scammers in moldova

[dreamy rose]

thats something a Moldovian Scammer would say.

[vapid cypress]

I think you are brainwashed by nostalgia 👊👊👊

I'm gonna punch ya

[dreamy rose]

you havent ever touched a Vita have you?

[opal thunder]

Nice try, there are scammers even in my thoughts.

If I look off the tallest building near me and look far enough into the distance there is at least one in a 10km radius of me.

Those mfs are everywhere.

[vapid cypress]

I had a PSP like that matters anyway

[dreamy rose]

the older Vita that was less cool.

[junior forge]

my friend used to have one in 4th degree (2016 or so), he was the coolest boy in the school

[dreamy rose]

i mean. its able to play PSP Games so.

[dreamy rose]

i had one since 2013. many hours spent on the same 5 or so games

[vapid cypress]

Subectively less cool

[dreamy rose]

Nah. the Vita had Tearaway

[vapid cypress]

OK nerrrrrrrrd

[dreamy rose]

i just know good games. not nerdy knowing that

[tidal minnow]

I remember a friend of mine playing lego star wars tcs on a psp.

Nostalgia hit me 😭

[vapid cypress]

Someday this year will only be a nostalgia

😔

Very deep

[graceful burrow]

Nothing that happened this year is worth having nostalgia over

[vapid cypress]

Back in my day Linus used to say hard R

😔

[vapid cypress]

Lots of game of the year contenders came out this year

[gentle slate]

Storage needs to get cheaper, FFXIV + WoW are eating up a majority of my SSD

[vapid cypress]

L games L storage

[gentle slate]

gaming is stale. I stick to the oldies but goodies

[dreamy rose]

i'm sticking to games older than 10.

mainly cause of hardware

the youngest component of my PC is the DRAM less SATA SSD. everything else is at least 10 years old

[gleaming harbor]

it need a flamethrower

[strong kettle]

my microsoft flight simulator add ons are eating up my ssd fast

funny 200gb+ game

[prime solstice]

I kinda want this adapter

[gentle slate]

im still confused what the purpose of the USB C port is on my laptop

[prime solstice]

To charge your iPhone

[gentle slate]

I dont even use my USB C USB C cable coz it came without a USB C brick.

[indigo plume]

Best mid size case to fit 7900xtx I'm tired of my fish bowl case

Takes up to much space

[prime solstice]

Well time to go on Amazon

[dreamy rose]

some are for Data, some are for high wattage Charging AKA USB-PD and others can use DisplayPort, some have all of them

[gentle slate]

I dont wanna buy Samsungs overpriced brick

[indigo plume]

Kinda cringe that Eu forced apple to go to usb c

[dreamy rose]

nah. its based as fuck

[indigo plume]

U don't have to buy samsung ones mate

[prime solstice]

Just get an anker one or a Amazon one

[gentle slate]

theyre still overpcied

how come my 1000$ phone didnt come with a brick

[indigo plume]

Will create ewaste considering how many chargers will be useless

[dreamy rose]

thats the fault of apple not the EU

[indigo plume]

And considering how many ppl need to buy new chargers

[gentle slate]

EU seems to like legislation

[dreamy rose]

not everyone will be buying a 15 asap

[indigo plume]

Anker is expensive AF

[indigo plume]

Lots of ppl do

[gentle slate]

when will EU standardize phone sizes and form factors so we dont waste cases and protectors

[strong kettle]

alot of people will

literally people from the surrounding countries specifically come to mine to buy the iphone

[dreamy rose]

its just the same issue as moving to an Android. and its not specific its the problem with proprietary bullshit.

[indigo plume]

U don't get millions of ppl moving to android

[prime solstice]

I’m waiting for the eu to tell apple to give back the charging port

[indigo plume]

Eu shouldn't be allowed to force them how to design their device

It's their product

[dreamy rose]

Forcing a universal charging standard is fair. just not designs.

[gentle slate]

prolly unfound fears but I dont like how much legislizing stuff EU has been doing

[dreamy rose]

though they should hve focused on forcing headphone jacks first of all

[indigo plume]

What's next all pc manufactures gunna be forced to change standard usb

U don't need headphone jack

[dreamy rose]

u fuckin do.

[indigo plume]

Bluetooth exists

[gentle slate]

meh phones still got rid of the jack

[dreamy rose]

AUX is way useful still.

[indigo plume]

For cheap earbuds

[dreamy rose]

AUX is BETTER than bluetooth

[gentle slate]

my S23 feels like a downgrade from my S9 in multiple wasy

[indigo plume]

Maybe

[slim yacht]

on the phone not really, on pc you still do need jacks however.

[indigo plume]

And Bluetooth is more convenient I can listen to music downstairs while my phone's is still charging upstairs

[dreamy rose]

i'd still NOT buy a phone without one.

[slim yacht]

why? you can just get a dac amp for 3 dollars

will make it sounds a heck of a lot better than your stock jack

[dreamy rose]

Bluetooth for Audio fucking sucks,

not to mention having to deal with batteries and charging. even old devices

[indigo plume]

Or when in at gym I can put phone in locker and still listen to music

[dreamy rose]

As much as cables piss me off. they are Still far superior

[indigo plume]

I hate having phone at me at gym

[indigo plume]

Audiophile decected

I can't really tell a difference in the 2

Lmao

Plus the noise cancelling is nice in loaded environments

[tidal minnow]

I can't tell the difference with good and bad audio cause I am so used to bad audio

[dreamy rose]

no i just enjoy not having a whole second of silence when i want to start a fucking song

[slim yacht]

eh i have quite decent equipments for my ears but then i choose my bluetooth tws very carefully. buds 2 pro/ apple's airpods actually is quite decent

[tidal minnow]

I got buds pro 1 for 18 quid

[indigo plume]

I use Sony earbuds

Buds pro shape sucks

Shit just falls out my ears

[slim yacht]

to get the same quality sound you probably need to spend alittle bit over 50 dollars as well for wired

[dreamy rose]

i don't get what's so unreasonable about wanting a decent Audio experience

[neon mesa]

that will just make everyone phone the exact same shit

that would be nightmare

[tidal minnow]

Yeah I went for Samsung buds because I have an s10 and I just assumed I would be a safe bet

[neon mesa]

cases are like 5 bucks and you buy them every few years

[dull granite]

big money

[slim yacht]

i used buds pro before, the beans actually hurted my ears. so i went to find something else. settled with fiio FD1 + their bluetooth iem dongle

felt like im actually on wired lmao with that sound quality

[tidal minnow]

They fit quite well for me

[slim yacht]

yeah my ear are one those little weirdly shaped ones. many other normal ears reported to also hurt tho, so maybe not just me

[tidal minnow]

Are you sure you mean the buds pro?

Cause iirc the buds pro and the buds live are quite different in shape

[slim yacht]

xm4?

[slim yacht]

yeah. it was like 120 dollars as well lmao

its so expensive at launch

[indigo plume]

Yeah

[slim yacht]

ah i see

eh we can get good sound through bluetooth. its very convenient now that im actually using it in real life. i once was like bionic too where i had the sceptic of no jacks for me. but then i got into it and it binds quite well lol

you gotta try to know

[tidal minnow]

The live ones are the true beans. Idk what these pro ones resemble

[slim yacht]

mine was in purple. great sounds to be honest, doesnt fit my ear well tho

oh and i did notice some funky thing going on with my pro's where the anc mic suddenly burst strong winds audio into my ear

[tidal minnow]

Oh yeah

When I have them on high noise they blow a weird air sound

[gentle slate]

I like bluetooth but I also dont. I dont like charging stuff

having to charge a phone and a mouse is already too much

[slim yacht]

oh so its universal then. i thought mine was spoilt or sum

i turned anc off and it dissapears so i suspected that mine was defected

[slim yacht]

its the struggle man

[tidal minnow]

It turns off when anc is turned off? Oh ok

[slim yacht]

you can try, the sudden noise should dissapear

at least it was when i tried it

[tidal minnow]

I turned the volume down to 80 percent and it usually stops

With anc on that is

[manic torrent]

Qi charging is win

[gentle slate]

what sorta monk kungfu shit is qi charging

[tired glade]

Isn't that just wireless charging?

[misty kindle]

like this segue to our sponsor

[manic torrent]

Yes

[gentle slate]

oh ew. Putting stuff on a very specific area thing that doesnt even allow me to use them while charging

unless the entire table is made of wireless charging, I dont want it

[manic torrent]

I have a wireless charger in my car. Every time I drive I charge my phone

[tired glade]

Wait,there is software lock on charger?

[manic torrent]

No they want to use it in their hand

Basically, eat your cake and have it too.

[tired glade]

Oh, peoples problem

[manic torrent]

I mean, when I'm at my desk I just use my computermachine

[dreamy rose]

tf you mean "Computermachine?" you're telling me you DONT use DeX as your desktop???

[wise tundra]

Seeing Firefox download at 8.0MB/s kindles joy

Finally my internet works. The ISP installed a new 4G tower close by so now it works way better

I used to be stuck at 1.5MB/a in browser

[dreamy rose]

Sure did. Fuck em. its gonna make it harder for ABI.

[wise tundra]

What happened

[dreamy rose]

while i'd like the VRC devs to suffer, this is just Dumbfoundingly stupid.

as i was saying in another server about the same issue, we can't ever have nice things

[wise tundra]

Bruh wtf

MFi?

Ah, good.

[graceful burrow]

Great time to recommend Godot if you wanna try an easy engine, open source and 100% free

[tired glade]

But be little bit behind on new tech

[dreamy rose]

everyones talking about how Oleds better than what they had previously, most probalby think its new, but the Orginal PS Vita is there using an OLED.

[tired glade]

Not many people had vita in general

[dreamy rose]

the revision WIHTOUT the shitty Micro USB connector

[opal thunder]

Based

I hate micro USB

[tired glade]

Also, that's very expensive oled panel for even modern standards

[opal thunder]

Select the option at the bottom

[dreamy rose]

you can chalk that down to issues such as having shitty slow super expensive Proprietary SD Cards and Third parties being iffy to jump onto it, the Best Sony handheld ever made. ruined because of a couple dumb decisions and those leading to third parties being hesitant to jump onto it

[opal thunder]

No problem I got access to it early so I had to find it myself

[tired glade]

Because iPhone became a thing, that why vita failed

[opal thunder]

I got access to it by clicking ✨this emoji someone sent me 3 times but it had special properties on it or something because it was from a discord owned server? Idk I forgor

[tired glade]

And when market cooled down, Switch replaced Vita spot

[dreamy rose]

the Vita had its market, it would have been larger had they not fucked it up and added regular SD Card support.

[tired glade]

Yes, the SD slot,for sure

[dreamy rose]

but no "We have to make sure the experience is consistent"

bull fuckin shit sony you just had a change of heart from being decent enough to being greedy

fucking 200 dollars for a 64GB SD card what a scam

[opal thunder]

💀

[tired glade]

When Sony wasn't greedy?

[opal thunder]

True

[tired glade]

Had you even seen their high end stuff?

[dreamy rose]

never said they weren't. i said they were Decent but turned sour on their own PlayStation Community. being a PlayStation player is like Stockholm Syndrome.

[tired glade]

PlayStation has just more playable games, that's all

And disk makes them even cheaper

600$ for media system isn't that expensive nowadays

[dreamy rose]

Playstations for me have always had Crashes. my 360 never did. Rarely ever did my Xbox One crash. maybe only like once or twice did it ever happen and that was through breaking a game intentionally

[junior forge]

weve got the same phone

oh nvm

[opal thunder]

How you know what phone I have 💀

[dreamy rose]

that was bypassing the Build Limits in Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts

[tired glade]

Oh, right, Xbox still exist

Why people buying Xbox,again?

[junior forge]

its either iph 6/6s/7/8/se2/se3

[dreamy rose]

because its better than PlayStation

[junior forge]

but u probably got se2 or some sh

[tired glade]

For what?

[opal thunder]

SE 3 probably

[junior forge]

me too

[dreamy rose]

everything. its a more powerful console with better features. its got something PlayStation could never compete with. Gamepass, AND PC

[tired glade]

Like what fitchers?

[dreamy rose]

Dev mode. you need to wait donkeys years to ever get any kind of fun thing running on a PlayStation. you can just pay a one time 20 dollar fee to do whatever you like on an Xbox. and they make hella mean Emulation boxes dont get it wrong

[tired glade]

Oh

[dreamy rose]

theres one thing i can fault the Series S/X consoles for though.

Inability to play Kinect Games

[tired glade]

Oh, right, they called series, always forget the full name of them

[opal thunder]

Fr?

Those are my childhood

[tired glade]

What's kinect again?

[dreamy rose]

yeah. you cant even install a Kinect game on series hardware.

[opal thunder]

Massive L

[dreamy rose]

Fullbody Tracking from 2010

[tired glade]

No clue

Oh, that's not game name

[opal thunder]

Lol

[dreamy rose]

they pride themselves in backwards compatability, and they maintain that well. however shame on them for not making the Kinect work anymore

and yes. being able to System link 4 whole generations of Xbox in one game is awesome, but i still wanna be able to play Kinect games 2 generations later ya know?

[sterile salmon]

Guys which one should i buy iPhone 15 -normal , pro or Promax

[dreamy rose]

ditch iPhone

[sterile salmon]

Wish that was an option

[dreamy rose]

fuck you mean "Wish" it is.

[sterile salmon]

Do u have any genuine opinion on the matter ?

[gentle slate]

I miss my S9+

[opal thunder]

Can’t really just drop cash randomly on a new phone because a random stranger on the internet told them to? Just a guess

[dreamy rose]

i've already told you what you need to do. ditch iPhone

[opal thunder]

Nvm I scrolled up

[dreamy rose]

Nobody should be considering an iPhone anymore. seriously its 2023 just buy an Android. iPhones just tell everyone around you you are stupid and buy a phone because of the brand.

[opal thunder]

Idk maybe their phone plan is giving them a wicked deal

I have no idea on why you would need the newest iPhone

Unless you are rich af it’s not really advisable at 1500$

Thought the same when the S23 ultra dropped and the price was horrendous

[dreamy rose]

also just anoter statement. if you have anything past an iPhone 10, you dont need an uprade.

[dreamy rose]

again. if you are Rich you'd buy an Expensive android. a GOOD phone

[tidal minnow]

Yeah an s10 is more than enough for average use

Most major changes affect a niche in my opinion.

[dreamy rose]

the most major change on iphones past 10 are the Numbers. not a suprise since when you buy apple you buy the brand, not for the actual device itself

[tidal minnow]

Same with Samsung to be honest. The only thing I personally care about is a fluid os with a good battery and brightness. And a MEH camera

[dreamy rose]

i can only advise people to buy for the device itself. not the branding or the "Popularity" or "Coolness" you think you get but instead makes you look like a Dork

[limpid hamlet]

Sup

[tidal minnow]

Hello!

[limpid hamlet]

Howdy

[slow plaza]

A post-lightning port good morning to you all 😅

[dreamy rose]

long live USBC. at least for 20 years so we can have a good streak of nice devices having Universal charging

[vapid cypress]

Poggies

[tired glade]

Isn't usb4 use the same dimensions port?

[slow plaza]

Although Apple is rumoured to be spiteful about it and limiting data transfer speeds of USB C to old USB 2.0 levels in all but the most expensive iPhone.

But that could just be a ploy to sell too one the most 🤷‍♂️

[tired glade]

Usb4 connector looks very similar to type c

[dreamy rose]

tis a C

[tired glade]

So,there is change that USB5 will look the same

[dreamy rose]

i'd imagine they'd have to use the same connector. but unkown if they will ever call it USB 5

[slow plaza]

Either way, for iProducts it’d be 2030 to get it. 🙄

[tired glade]

Brand new usb4 on your iPhone 30 pro max

[dreamy rose]

i hope they die of at 20 at the latest'

they go into glasses instead so some physically cant use the apple product

[tired glade]

No,we are still with Android and iPhone phones until heat death of the universe

[indigo plume]

Saw some shit where on new iPhone u will be able to play assassins creed and resident evil 4 remake on it that's crazy

[tired glade]

There is change with EU os,China and India os's

[dreamy rose]

sounds like 🧢 to me

[tired glade]

Yes,it fully confirmed

[dreamy rose]

Linux Phones can always get better.

[tired glade]

Linux desktop is way better than windows,but games

[indigo plume]

Don't Samsung batteries have history of going overheating and exploding or something

[tired glade]

No

[indigo plume]

Like airlines wouldn't let ppl with S7 on planes and shit

[tired glade]

It was just one photo 8 years ago

[indigo plume]

Back in the day

[dreamy rose]

Linux is a better option for games. its just the Anticheat isasue

[tired glade]

No history with exploding batteries

[delicate kettle]

hey homiesssss

[dreamy rose]

only the note 7.

[tired glade]

Tell that to drm makers

[indigo plume]

Saw some shit 8n a video a few months ago that Samsung batteries expando overtime

[tired glade]

@indigo plume also it was sabotage

[indigo plume]

Idk

Huh

Imo apple has better software

[tired glade]

Kinda

[indigo plume]

Android photos and stuff looks terrible quality

Even if they have good cameras

[tired glade]

Not really

Yea, camera that a thing on phones

[indigo plume]

In app photos look cheeks

[dreamy rose]

again. the problem is the lack of Anticheat support. not the OS Itself. Pathetic developers make excuses. not legitimate statements

[tired glade]

Ui of iPhones are way worse than stock android

[indigo plume]

Man going on another Linux windows bad rant

[indigo plume]

Disagree

iPhones UI way more user friendly

[tired glade]

Problem is chicken and egg,no one plays on Linux,not one makes games for it

[dreamy rose]

Apple uses AI shit to make look better on a piddly 14MP camera compared to Androids whi'll have like 48 or whatnot

[indigo plume]

Android has so many subtabs and settings that can confuse many

[tired glade]

Yea,user friendly,not power user usable

[indigo plume]

I mean wasn't the s22 pretty power hungry

[dreamy rose]

that's just bullshit. people are playing on Linux, Developers don't fucking care because they are Lazy

[indigo plume]

Or was that s21

[tired glade]

Changing speed of animation on iPhone is pain and a half

[indigo plume]

Why does one need to change animation speed lmao

These phones are fast enough these days

[tired glade]

Daily Steam user is about 30 million,so how many is Linux users?

[indigo plume]

Why would devs support Linux when it's such a small user base

[dreamy rose]

Steam Deck is not enough to Convince them. Again like i said. the story would be different if ASUS and everyone else went with SteamOS. they'd HAVE to to accommodate these users.

[tired glade]

To slow down animation for work hours and fast it for after work hours

[indigo plume]

I just keep it on stock speeds

[tired glade]

Free for Freedom and such

[tired glade]

It's kinda my phone

[dreamy rose]

6% of the whole desktop market is on some form of Linux at least. thats plenty reason to support.

[indigo plume]

Like it's prob less than 10% using Linux

[indigo plume]

Never said it wasn't

I'm just saying that ain't some kinda of deal breaker

[tired glade]

So, I decided how to use it

I can't use Mac OS because task bar is always there

[dreamy rose]

some people think they be raising a family with the mere miliseconds they save removing animations in an OS

[indigo plume]

And iPhone more secure

[tired glade]

Yes, Linus video is up

[tired glade]

Kinda

[dreamy rose]

MacOS is unusable for many reasons. including the Dock and topbar

[indigo plume]

I haven't watched since before that scandal crap

[tired glade]

Let me tell you about terminal experience,it was hell

[indigo plume]

I prob wouldn't use Linux even if someone paid me to use it

[tired glade]

I am more about 3 trillion company with close ecosystem,that so many red flags, it not even funny

[dreamy rose]

thats a big L for you man.

[indigo plume]

Not really I'm get everything I need from windows

[tired glade]

Windows 10 will die out at some point, so it will be good time to switch

[indigo plume]

I see no benefits to me using Linux

[dreamy rose]

it's an L and you will take it.

[indigo plume]

From what I saw 9n steam deck don't like it's UI

[manic torrent]

There are no benefits. It's useless for you.

You can barely use windows as it is

[indigo plume]

?

I can use windows just fine mate

[gleaming harbor]

i used ubantu and its good i dont wanna be stressed over proton not working on games, etc

[dreamy rose]

OK but if you don't like Big Picture then that's on you. Big Picture is good the way it is. bad opinions just dont become true. just jokes to laugh at.

[tired glade]

When you were last time in registry folder?

[indigo plume]

I few weeks ago cuz images were saving as jfif instead of jpeg

[harsh quartz]

Bruh the average windows user doesn’t even know what this is, what does it have to do with using windows?
