They're easier to force open than you realize, I've had to push them open and also put them back on the tracks

[half summit]

Damn sorry to hear that.

[polar fern]

o.o

[graceful burrow]

Why would you be sorry

[vapid smelt]

our automatic doors somtimes came open /off track in high winds

[graceful burrow]

I don't give a shit if the store burns

[half summit]

But yea Online Order Guy, hopefully the pay is at least fine?

[graceful burrow]

I actually, genuinely, want the store to burn

[vapid smelt]

dont slip on ice in the parking lot

[half summit]

Well I can't commit arson (yet)

But I'm just doing this so I could get money instead of leeching off people

[polar fern]

curbside order fulfillment can be super fun, hope you get the job and make sure you take care of your feet & back

[pseudo girder]

anything is better than walmart except maybe fast food lol

[half summit]

Look I'm a highschool senior who's a massive failure than LTT Labs

[vapid smelt]

the best combo is being a mcdonalds worker INSIDE of walmart

[pseudo girder]

if it gets cold during the winter where you are, online order or cart pusher is a hell job lol

[half summit]

It's either Walmart or working in McDonalds where I accidentally violate loads of health codes just because of my existence

[polar fern]

@half summit no shame in trying to get employment & no need ot explain here to us or anyone why youre seeking employment at a specific place

[half summit]

I'm just happy that I'm getting a job with hopefully good income

[polar fern]

we dont owe you our approval

[vapid smelt]

just sell your plasma when your 18 ez pz

[half summit]

It's the first step into somewhat saving for a gaming pc

[half summit]

Nah too much work, besides they don't accept 3 or more kidneys sadly

[polar fern]

plasma donation is no joke x-x

[half summit]

If I donate 1 it's philanthropic and generous

But if I donate 70 kidneys to get the 4090 It's "illegal" and "suspicious"

[pseudo girder]

whered you get 3 or more kidneys? XD

[half summit]

Put on linus' face mask

[polar fern]

anyways should prolly feed the cats and hide under the blanket for 2 days, yall be good ❤️

[half summit]

So Linus will be arrested for stealing an old TV and a gaming pc in walmart

[low rain]

Damn tmr my dad has to make a 1 hour 35 minute drive all the way to my sisters college and then drive all the way back in one day, the trip back last time was 2 hours cause of traffic

Found out that my art teacher is also taking her daughter there tmr

[polar fern]

thats about the same time driving as the park we go to meet my girlfriend's family. 1 hour 40 minutes each way its not that big a deal

its around half way and its outside, so it works for both of us

[low rain]

My dad had to make a four hour drive to get windows for our house and then drive another like 5 hours back 😭😭😭

[polar fern]

anyways im off like an ihs

[polar fern]

Wow that’s fascinating

The cray 2 supercomputer at LANL back in 1987 was used to model & product the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Very similar to how oak ridge used summit to map & model sarscov2

Maybe all of these computers stealing peoples work pretending that it’s “ai” should be repurposed to research disease cures and treatments instead.

Would be pretty cool if Linus did a tour of medical and scientific computing facilities

[vapid smelt]

around and being used

[polar fern]

well, it’s not just one platform

Yeah, it has more active users than ever

It’s actually pretty amazing. Tons of people who are experts in their field doctors scientists, computer engineers are kinds of different professions.

That place is a fascist playground supported by ads

Also, it’s not centralised, it’s Federated

so its not dead like normal websites its dead like a BBS

[fierce moth]

hmm, idk which console to play today

[graceful burrow]

dreamcast

[fierce moth]

im thinking wii u

dont have one

[graceful burrow]

wishful thinking lol

[fierce moth]

dreamcasts are hella expensive

[graceful burrow]

true

[graceful burrow]

almost threw up

[fierce moth]

wii u's are getting bad

[graceful burrow]

jesus

[fierce moth]

i got my wii u a year after the switch came out

got it for about 130 aud

[graceful burrow]

even thats overpaying tbh kek

[fierce moth]

well it was "refurbished"

[graceful burrow]

ah fair

that means "we turned it on once"

[tidal minnow]

Yes I wish I could get a wii U for the same price as a switch

Very nice...

Wait nvm that's aud

[fierce moth]

wii u's are great homebrew boxes

it can do 3 generations of nintendo consoles natively

[tidal minnow]

Homebrew? Like dnd?????

[tidal minnow]

Nintendo could've made bank making an official dock/adapter for earlier generations

[fierce moth]

gamecube support would be tricky with the wii u

cause as you most likely know they have smaller disks

[tidal minnow]

Oh I meant for the switch

People would've bought that adapter Dock even if they charged 50-100 dollars

[pulsar violet]

Circuits Lab go brrrr

[fierce moth]

the first generation wiis got around this by having a special motor for accepting those disks

[fierce moth]

still, emulation isnt the best on switch

like i can barely do gamecube games on my modded switch

[slim yacht]

change it to 12v input

[tidal minnow]

Maybe the switch 2 will fix that eh?

What does the switch 2 intend to do?

[fierce moth]

Be a more powerful switch

[pulsar violet]

It was at 15V before, with 4 1 Kohm resistors

[fierce moth]

thats the jist when looking at rumors

[tidal minnow]

What will make people buy it over switch one???

[fierce moth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slim yacht]

your digital trainer have 15v? well thats really nice lol
our lab had maximum 12v. altho that was 2 years ago

[fierce moth]

it has a ampere level gpu

[tidal minnow]

So it's gonna use ampere architecture eh?

[fierce moth]

the switch exploded in sales when covid hit

yeah

[pulsar violet]

Yup there is ground, 5V, 15V, and -15V; yea it’s rough as I’m struggling in uni rn but I’m trying to get in the rythem

[tidal minnow]

The switch exploded because it was the right product at the right time

Portability and great console nature meant that anyone could use it.

It was what the wii u should've been.

[fierce moth]

ngl i doubt the switch 2 is gonna get hacked

[tidal minnow]

Switch 2 probably feels like a refresh tbh. I doubt they'd be able to pull off a switch 1 level sales. But I am happy for them to prove me wrong.

[pulsar violet]

Anyone else excited for the Meta Quest 3 specs unveiling?

[slim yacht]

eh circuit analysis/digital electronics/circuit design shouldnt be hard. i wish you luck

[fierce moth]

I'm happy with my current headset

[polar fern]

Calling mastodon dead when it’s growing in both number of registered & active users & number of posts per day is an interesting take.

[pulsar violet]

Yea, first semester is calc, linear methods, programming, circuits, and fund of materials

[slim yacht]

do enjoy calculus 3 when you get there

[tidal minnow]

Was the battery life on the quest 2 good? Didn't it have an extra battery pack attachment?

[fierce moth]

i have a rift s

[pulsar violet]

Yea, I left my quest 2 for my dad as he enjoys be cricket, and I don’t have one rn and I want something that is easy to setup in any environment

[tidal minnow]

Is that baljeet pfp from phineas and ferb?

It just looks familiar.

[night sequoia]

So much bread so little time

[tidal minnow]

The cake is a lie.

[pulsar violet]

That’s gonna be rough, currently struggling in normal but trying to make it through, my group members are no help either and now I’m stuck with them for the rest of the semester, rather than helping each other out on the group assignments they do their own thing for each question, and not work collectively on each question or bother explaining

[night sequoia]

Ouch

[slim yacht]

welcome to engineering

[polar fern]

“Group”

[pulsar violet]

Yea, I just want to understand, and I’m not good with making new friends in person so I’m in a pickle but sometimes you gotta leave the comfort zone

[night sequoia]

True

[pulsar violet]

Yea and imposter syndrome is striking hard but I’m trying to avoid that at all costs, I’ve been procrastinating a lot recently as well so gotta get that sorted, but for now I should probably sleep and chip away at it whenever I’m free

[tidal minnow]

16gb ddr4 2666mhz for £10

0_o

[fossil frost]

the thing you need to realise about imposter syndrome is that... everyone gets it, everyone is hiding it, everyone is dealing with it in their own different way, even if they dont realise it... "imposter syndrome" is a mild FFF response to being mildly uncomfortable. its part of the reason your ansestors were not eaten by lions

[night sequoia]

Not bad

[pulsar violet]

Yea, I’m just mad at myself of not being able to keep up, but I’m gonna try to get that sorted, I’m having a hard time taking accountability over myself but I realize that and I’m slowly trying to take more, like sometimes I start to panic as before I would just quit and sit down to think + reflect because I have so much stuff to do but now I remind myself that it’s not gonna get done all at a once and you gotta slowly make progress

[pulsar violet]

Kinda, it’s Baljeet from Phineas and Ferb yes, but fanart from TikTok a while back

[vapid smelt]

ewaste

[fossil frost]

not at all, ive put almost the same ram in my 11yo's 7700k pc

[tidal minnow]

Oh what's wrong with it? Is it cause the speed sucks?

[graceful burrow]

speed sucks, guaranteed low bin

[vapid smelt]

if you really loved your kid it would be a r7 7700x

[tidal minnow]

Would it be fine to buy a single 8gb stick for £5 then for the purpose of troubleshooting a pc?

[fossil frost]

he doesnt need that to play fifa and fortnite

[graceful burrow]

i mean
sure
id buy g.skill ripjaws for compatibilty sake tho, heard they're the best from a few people

probably wont need to

[vapid smelt]

does he have a 144hz display?

[fossil frost]

75, because again, hes 11, its all he needs

[tidal minnow]

Wait how is it a guaranteed low bin? Is it because of the speed? I'm confused.

[vapid smelt]

i disagree young people have better reflexes he needs 240hz

[graceful burrow]

corsair vengeance lpx is bargain bin ram at best, low end budget stuff
And those sticks are already lower end so it does not bode well

[tidal minnow]

So at best they will perform average but at worst they will be quite bad on a system.

[fossil frost]

he wins just fine on 75hz, "needing" high refresh rates is an excuse that people who are shit at games use to make up for them being shit

[graceful burrow]

who knows tbh

what even is a computer

[tidal minnow]

Seems like it would be best to buy a single 8gb stick for troubleshooting and stick to buying ram brand new.

"Stick to buying ram brand new" ahahahaha I'm so funny.

(My dad left me for a reason ): )

[tidal minnow]

"An item in which you can play doom"

[graceful burrow]

true though

[slim yacht]

[graceful burrow]

also true tho

[tidal minnow]

Bro all of the local ram in my area is used COAAIR VENGENCE LPX LMAO

[fossil frost]

a "computer" is a woman who sits in a room, and goes through the long form calculations that a man gave her (honestly, this is what "computer" originally meant, and then what we call computers now, were called "mechanical computers" for quite some time)

[stray apex]

It's very popular ram

[tidal minnow]

I was planning to get 2x8gb 2666mhz for a £10 but then was told not to cause of it most likely being a bad bin.and having horrible speed.

[stray apex]

It's fine

[tidal minnow]

All of the sticks being sold are either 2666mhz or lower

[stray apex]

The fuck do you want it's ten pounds

[tidal minnow]

A 4090

Like literally everyone else here

[fossil frost]

its fine, its only "horrible" if you are expecting 1000fps and pairing it with a 4090... if you know that you are only spending £10, you cannot be disappointed with 16gb of 2666

[fierce moth]

Playing persona 3

[polar fern]

@pulsar violet some folks just don’t understand that being a team player is important

[vapid smelt]

ddr3 came in 2666 and 3200

[tidal minnow]

Great for the price though. Am I able to use an oc profile to get it to run faster?

[pulsar violet]

Yea, I’m there to learn not go home early

[tidal minnow]

I doubt I could but it's £10 so even if it ain't it is still a bargain ig

[fossil frost]

maybe, maybe not, but its £10, if it doesnt work as well as you want it, sell it for £15

[tidal minnow]

True.

[vapid smelt]

30 pounds https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/mCHRsY/patriot-viper-steel-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-pvs416g320c6k

[tidal minnow]

I could go for that. Maybe... I try the £10 see how it goes. If I don't like it sell it for £10 and get that one.

[vapid smelt]

what cpu you paring it with

[tidal minnow]

Nothing special...

Either 3400g or 3600

[fossil frost]

then spend the extra and get the patriot viper ram

ryzen needs 3000mhz+ and low latency to work at its best

[tidal minnow]

I think the 3400g is rated at like 2999mhz fastest iirc so I thought buying low end ram wouldn't be the worst idea.

[fossil frost]

the 2666mhz wont be BAD, but it wont be an optimal pairing, and £10 vs £30 for the difference it will make on ryzen, you should spend the extra 20 quid

[tidal minnow]

But I'm probably wrong in that assumption now that I think abt it

[polar fern]

https://a.co/d/fwLiG1X

[vapid smelt]

https://www.techspot.com/review/1891-ryzen-memory-performance-scaling/

[tidal minnow]

Oohh that actually helps a ton.

[fossil frost]

ryzen performance is heavily tied into ram speed and ram latency, almost a linear progression (until you hit the 4000mhz wall on x600 chips, and 3800mhz wall on x800 and x900 chips)

[polar fern]

Mmmhm

[vapid smelt]

my chad r5 5600x runs ram at cl 16 3800mhz

[fossil frost]

5950x running 32gb of 3800mhz cl14 on a 1:1 ratio too 😄

[tidal minnow]

If I used a 3400g I'd be using the igpu to play cause I don't really need a good gpu atm.

[polar fern]

That link is the ram I selected, which I thought was a good balance of cost and performance. 👍

[fossil frost]

then you certainly need the fastest ram you can afford

[vapid smelt]

then your ram would affect fps a TON since its using that

[tidal minnow]

Oh yeah.

That or I just save up more to the point where I can afford a system without needing to sell my rx 570 8gb

Hmmm.

Save up for ryzen 5 3600 system and use rx 570 8gb

Sell rx 570 8gb to help pay for a 5700xt

Smort

[tidal minnow]

I'll probably buy that an oc it.

Probably buy a single 8gb ram stick for troubleshooting.

Never know when you might need it.

[vapid smelt]

OR get a r5 3600xt and a rx 7900xt

[tidal minnow]

3600xt...

[polar fern]

Depending on the board that you have doing an overclock, shouldn’t be super complicated in the BIOS

[tidal minnow]

My face when they shittily oc a cpu just to have t on the end

[tidal minnow]

True. The most expensive thing will be a cheap b450

[tidal minnow]

Why is the 3300x so close in performance???

[fossil frost]

single sticks are a waste of money, because it doesnt let you debug half the issues you may run into

[graceful burrow]

3600 with disabled cores

idk i made that up lmao

[tidal minnow]

Oh. I just thought you only needed a single stick to see if a system works.

So 2 Sticks?

[polar fern]

65 vs 95 watt tdp? 🤔

[fossil frost]

you are not testing both memory channels on the cpu, and are not testing both channel slots on the board

[tidal minnow]

Ah sounds like I'd wanna get 2 troubleshooting sticks then

[manic torrent]

If I could be bothered I might try clicking my 3600cl14 at 3800

But the improvements over 3600cl14 are minor at best.

[fossil frost]

it took me several days of fiddling around to find the exact settings that made it stable on my 5950x and keep 1:1

[manic torrent]

Yeah I really CBF. It's perfectly stable at 3600 1:1

And the difference is so minor.

[fossil frost]

performance difference is almost fuck all, i was just bored 🙂

[manic torrent]

But cl14 gives me suuuuper consistent frame times and just a smooth experience.

[polar fern]

Based on hwinfo64, doesn’t seem like changing the memory timing etc would improve anything for the setup I have.

[vapid cypress]

1000% recommend if you watched adventure time and distant lands

[polar fern]

@vapid cypress seems really good so far. 🙂

[fossil frost]

btw, the "several days" included the secondary and tertiary timings too, not just getting 3800mhz to work. ram is currently running at the limit of the IMC on my cpu now 😄

[vapid cypress]

They somehow made the original show even better, the plot is awesome

The animation superb

[manic torrent]

Yeah I have so much other shit to do 🙂

[vapid cypress]

If Spiderman into the spiderverse had a child this would be it in terms of animation

[polar fern]

@vapid cypress adventure time is one of the all-time underrated shows. It just touches on so many relatable issues in interesting ways

just pay someone else to do it

[vapid cypress]

We just pay with apps now at this point its super easy

[mental cedar]

pretty sure in EU your boss does the taxes or something along those lines

[tidal minnow]

I'll probs work as a teacher.

[tardy terrace]

in finland or something the govt does the taxes for you

[tidal minnow]

So I think that would be a public sector job.

[vapid cypress]

What

Being an adult is bullshit, I agree.

[mental cedar]

income taxes

[stiff rapids]

LTT TV is back

[vapid cypress]

Yeah they take a chunk for insurance and stuff

[manic torrent]

.... it's the same basically everywhere. your employer withholds the tax you need to pay and gives it to the government. At the end of the financial year they settle up and you have to pay or you get a refund. taxes.

[full fossil]

i call bullshit

[manic torrent]

Lol, I see you don't know shit about fuck

[fierce moth]

i cant drink

[full fossil]

i know mug

[fierce moth]

i can drink next month tho

[full fossil]

i know everything i need

i need to be slow always

[fierce moth]

i should upgrade my servers hdd at some point

[full fossil]

how many giba gytes

[fierce moth]

1tb

[full fossil]

bruh

get 4tb it is very cheap

[fierce moth]

although, if i were to upgrade i would get a new mobo as i only have one sata port and my current hdd is going over usb

[full fossil]

can you say overall specs of the server

[fierce moth]

but 4th gen boards arent really common anymore

[fossil frost]

pcie sata cards are about £9 on ebay

[fierce moth]

this dont have pcie

[full fossil]

yeah

bruh what

get a new cumbooter

[fierce moth]

im a little thing called broke

[full fossil]

me too

im broker but you can get a cumbooter for less than 50 dollars

thats perfect for a server

[fierce moth]

i literally have 5 dollars in my bank account

[full fossil]

i have 0 dollars

11egp in my bank account

[fierce moth]

plus my server still works

so it isnt really an issue

[full fossil]

i have a good solution

power your server software threw a 64gig stick

get a 4tb and power it threw the sata port

[fierce moth]

ill pass

i can just delete some stuff

[wise tundra]

Local grocery store is selling Logitech G502 for 40€

[full fossil]

buy it and mail it to me because i am an entitled beggar NOW

#fake conversations i have in my head pt 126

[fierce moth]

i love my g502 lightspeed

i barely have to charge the thing

[full fossil]

i want one

but i dont have MONEY MONEY MONEY

must be funny

should i kill myself or what

[wispy marsh]

Its battery life is amazing. I've never connected it to a cable.

[fierce moth]

i personally never had an issue with mine

although im thinking of upgrading the feet to glass ones

i also love plexamp

self hosted

i use plex for music more than movies/tv shows

[fossil frost]

the PTFE ones are expensive, but LOADS better than glass

[fierce moth]

it aint as expensive as glass

[wispy marsh]

Fullscreen artwork's pretty cool

[fierce moth]

ngl i dont really care about the artwork, its about the audio in my eyes

[wispy marsh]

Ears*

[fierce moth]

my bad

[neon mesa]

[wispy marsh]

Gottem

That's synaesthesia

[fierce moth]

is that even a word?

[graceful burrow]

Synesthesia is

[fierce moth]

i wanna get a 1080I CRT for my wii u

but those are almost non existent

[gilded forge]

I wish it had proper crossfading

[fierce moth]

that isnt really an important feature to me

as most of my music wouldnt really work well with that on

[tidal minnow]

Please don't. We can talk about it in dms if you want.

[full fossil]

[vapid cypress]

I will finally try to read a book after idk. A decade of rejecting them

[full fossil]

not all books are great

[vapid cypress]

I don't think I ever finished a book ever

[manic torrent]

whoa slow down egghead

[vapid cypress]

You can't know if you don't try

I picked up 2 books from the library

[past egret]

dont be a joshhead, all books are just liberal propaganda

[vapid cypress]

So truee

[tired glade]

All of them?

[past egret]

yes

[fierce moth]

Til that Sony walkman's still exist

[tired glade]

Interesting

[past egret]

theyre still amazing

mostly enthusiast oriented

kojima has one so you know its cool

[fierce moth]

The fanciest audio thing I have is a pair of wf-1000xm4s

[harsh quartz]

Imagine not just using a phone

[past egret]

"enthusiast oriented"

[tired glade]

So,low quantity product

[fierce moth]

Essentially

[harsh quartz]

Samsung phones are enthusiasts oriented

[pastel swift]

not really?

[harsh quartz]

No, really!

[slim yacht]

one could say this is very controversial

[pastel swift]

how is it made for enthusiasts

around 70% of koreans use samsung phones

[fossil frost]

samsung phones are 100% aimed at mainstream

thats why they have large uptake, because they are made to appeal to general public

if they were made to only appeal to enthusiasts, that 70% would be closer to 0.7%

[summer folio]

You Mean Apple

[fossil frost]

no, both companies are 100% going after the same mainstream market

[tired glade]

What mainstream nowadays?

[pastel swift]

samsung just has more features

[fossil frost]

general public

[tired glade]

So, just iPhone line and a series of phones, mainly

[fossil frost]

both apple phones and android phones have a broad feature set that broadly overlap, and some features exist on each that dont exist on the other, or do exist on the other with a different name

[pastel swift]

usually samsung and apple, companies like oneplus or xiomi wouldnt be main stream(depends on country tho)

[harsh quartz]

Oh dear god I forgot to add /s, what have I done :p

[fossil frost]

there is no winner in the battle of "my favourite trillion dollar company is better than your favourite trillion dollar company"

[slim yacht]

lol told you

[harsh quartz]

Kek

This just in, not allowed to use sarcasm in the bread chat

[pastel swift]

yea but apple making weird decisions with their hardware and pricing

[harsh quartz]

They’re not weird decisions, they’re the decisions that make them the most money

[fossil frost]

they are a company. they do a lot of market research, they decide to do whatever makes them the most money

and, because they are a public company, they are legally oblogated to do so

[pastel swift]

but also a lot of hate too

[harsh quartz]

The average user doesn’t care how many gigashits the little computer in their phone can mega boost to

[pastel swift]

ig

but i believe samsung makes better quality phones compared to apples

[harsh quartz]

L take

[fossil frost]

thats your opinion, but not based in any sort of reality

[pastel swift]

bruh

[fossil frost]

since neither make their own phones, Foxconn make them both, and are both well made devices

[harsh quartz]

The only thing I miss from my Samsung was the audio quality, so I still use it as a mp3 player in my car

[stray apex]

qualcomm only does the modems for apple these days afaik

[fossil frost]

neither are repairable or recyclable, both are ewaste once they run their life. but they are both well made

[pastel swift]

samsungs got a really good support services in my experience

[harsh quartz]

I would argue that iPhones have a longer life both hardware and software support wise

[fossil frost]

sorry, meant foxconn

[stray apex]

I mean, they objectively have the best software support, both first party and third party

[harsh quartz]

Batteries are replaceable and suck in both apple and Samsungs

[stray apex]

it's really not even close
samsung is getting there, but it's still worse

[harsh quartz]

They both suck, if you want a good battery, buy a Motorola :p

[pastel swift]

and the whole drama abt slowing down phones

[stray apex]

larger iphones are fine for battery, generally

but a regular base iphone is also smaller than most android phones

[harsh quartz]

Both companies do this tho

[stray apex]

stupid hugeass 6.4" displays

[harsh quartz]

This is a good thing, I hated the 6.8” display

It was far too big for my pockets

[stray apex]

yeah, I'm going from pixel 6 to iphone 15 pro

[pastel swift]

i have never heard abt samsung doing this

[stray apex]

it's like google measured my hand and built a phone that was slightly too large in every dimension

samsung doesn't slow their phones down
samsung does fuck up the battery chemistry to create spicy pillows, though

[harsh quartz]

As someone who went from iPhone to Samsung then back to iPhone, my Samsung was basically unusable after the 2 year promised support, the phone was abysmally slow, the Bluetooth would randomly disconnect, apps would crash and I even had the phone crash once

[pastel swift]

i think u just got a bad Batch

[stray apex]

I think that's more an older android issue

[fossil frost]

Xperia 1 would like to speak to you with its 21:9 6.5" display, even in my big sausage hands, its LARGE

[harsh quartz]

Whether it was bad software support or slowing the phone down, idk, but it was an issue

[stray apex]

weaker chipsets can struggle to run newer versions of android

[slim yacht]

me with mediatek dimensity 920:

[stray apex]

it might be better these days, but you probably don't wanna run an android version that came out like, three years after you bought a $300 phone

[harsh quartz]

It was a galaxy a52 5g, and I know the A series isn’t the best, but it should’ve lasted longer than exactly 2 years for how much I paid

[pastel swift]

i had my s10e for 4 years and i only had to replace the battery once cus of overheating and everything was fine

[tired glade]

Oh, modes still sleeping

[pastel swift]

its an a series what more can u expect

[harsh quartz]

The phone not to crash after 2 years of light use?

[summer folio]

But the 21:9 form factor was supposed to make it "smaller"/easier to handle because it's not as wide?

[pastel swift]

my a31 did that too so i just use it for music playing

[fossil frost]

the A series are designed to be what children take to school so that the school allows you to allow them to walk home on their own

[harsh quartz]

And considering I paid the same for that a52 as I did for my iPhone 13, it was very disappointing

[slim yacht]

A series should actually last quite decently. you probably got unlucky. but like im not an apple/android buy either. i like both for specific reasons :3

[fossil frost]

easier to hold, but harder to use one handed, because the top of the screen requires you to drive to it, from the bottom of the screen... 😄

[pastel swift]

wtf price💀

[stray apex]

no, they're actually among the best selling phones in the world

[harsh quartz]

360$ USD

[fossil frost]

because parents buy them for their children, there are a lot of children

[stray apex]

no, because the vast majority of the world cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars on phones

[pastel swift]

how tf do u buy an iphone 13 for $360

[harsh quartz]

Att sales

[stray apex]

do you think xiaomi sells a shitload of pro models in india

no
they're selling the budget and midrange phones

[slim yacht]

i got myself A52 and A52s actually. those phone were fun for their price. i especially like how solid their battery is

[pastel swift]

thats a whole different story then

[slim yacht]

and then i got s21 ultra which is another story entirely but carry on

[harsh quartz]

I might’ve gotten a bad one then cause it was fucked on battery life after about 1 year and I had so many software issues with it

[slim yacht]

yeah im guessing you were really unlucky there. if you like iphone more its fine, its your taste

[harsh quartz]

Now I leave it in my car as a Bluetooth mp3 player cause it has a good audio player

[harsh quartz]

It’s just personal experience

[pastel swift]

i got my first iphone last year and ngl i miss samsung

[slim yacht]

yeah thats the problem. usually a bad experience like that goes long ways when you wanted to get something from them

[harsh quartz]

The only thing I really hate about iPhones is the iCloud being forced into everything

[stray apex]

apple didn't get their multi trillion dollar valuation by not selilng people icloud

[pastel swift]

i went out of my way to disable that lol

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t mean it’s good

[pastel swift]

its simple tho

[harsh quartz]

I disabled as much as I can but they keep adding it to more and more

[harsh quartz]

Yes, but I would rather keep my pictures on the phone instead of having to pull them from a server when I want to use them

[pastel swift]

i think it caters to ppl who have apple ecosystems

[harsh quartz]

iCloud is better now about leaving hard copies but it used to be abysmal about ripping the photos to the cloud and then getting rid of them from the phone

[manic torrent]

yeah so much more convenient to plug in my phone to somewhere than to just get the picture from a synced site

[harsh quartz]

I mean, yes? I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not

[manic torrent]

It's sarcasm.

"having to pull them from a server"

oh no, photos accessible across all my devices all the time, it's terrible

[harsh quartz]

Yes, when I want to use a photo on my phone and it has to redownload the damn thing, it’s annoying

[stray apex]

but it's like
a few mb, probably?

[fossil frost]

i dont think ive ever had an issue with having my phone and its camera linked to google photos. everything syncs to the cloud, and stays on the device too, and is also accessible everywhere, and, if my phone is lost or destroyed... i still have my photos

[manic torrent]

Ok, so that must be a specific apple thing? IDK how that works exactly

[harsh quartz]

What about if I don’t have cellular or I’m in a slow zone?

[stray apex]

that sounds like an extremely specific scenario

[harsh quartz]

Not in my city

[manic torrent]

... this doesn't represent reality for most people most of the time

[harsh quartz]

There are dead zones fuckin everywhere here

[manic torrent]

don't live in a shithole.

[stray apex]

simply move to a city with better cellular coverage

[harsh quartz]

Okay now you’ve just turned this into petty insults instead of a conversation

[pastel swift]

lmao

[manic torrent]

No really - why is your internet so bad? that doesn't make sense.

[stray apex]

waiting for windows expolorer to figure out what photos are on my phone is such a pain in the ass

[harsh quartz]

How dare I insult apple, a brand which products I actually use and enjoy most of the time, except for this one SPECIFIC thing

[fossil frost]

ive been on the side of a mountain, on a mountain bike, in the middle of nowhere.... and still have mobile service

[manic torrent]

no, apple are terrible

[pastel swift]

ong

[manic torrent]

your problem is with the SPECIFIC way apple have implemented cloud sync and removal from the device, coupled with your internet issues

[harsh quartz]

Our cell tower got fried about a year ago, they’re building a new one but the majority of our city has trouble with cellular data now

[manic torrent]

but what you SAID was, "having to get photos from a server is bad"

[manic torrent]

a YEAR?!

[harsh quartz]

that’s what I was saying dumbass, you ignored the entire conversation and focused on one thing I said

[stray apex]

there's only a single cell tower?

[pastel swift]

thats ur city's responsibilty

or building

[harsh quartz]

No, they’re multiple, but it’s the main one that covers the heart of the city

[harsh quartz]

Shifting responsibility doesn’t mean it’s not a problem that I have to deal with

[fossil frost]

the second nearest cell tower to me was upgraded to 5G recently, and the installer fried the PDU on the tower... and killed the 4G equipment with it too... it was back up and running in 3 days, but nobody noticed because cell towers overlap, thats like a core part of coverage

[manic torrent]

I mean, you chose to buy an iphone

[harsh quartz]

Either way, what I WAS SAYING to make this VERY CLEAR is the fact that I want the OPTION to have HARD COPIES on my PHONE

[manic torrent]

yeah, I mean, days or weeks, but a YEAR?

[pastel swift]

i mean u could pressure ur city to fix them

[manic torrent]

yes, but you bought an iphone. You get what apple gives you and you shut up and take it

[stray apex]

disable icloud?

[manic torrent]

it's been a year, buy a new phone.

[pastel swift]

u can disable them in the settings

[harsh quartz]

And what I also said is that now it works much better, and that it USED to be a major problem, I don’t understand how you ignored everything I said earlier and still decided to comment

[pastel swift]

i mean u were complaining

[manic torrent]

I didn't ignore it, I wasn't here, i was doing other stuff, then I came in and started talking

[harsh quartz]

You decided to argue with me when you clearly didn’t pay any attention to what I said

And then turned that argument into petty insults and bad faith

[manic torrent]

to be fair, your communication of the issue is terrible.

[harsh quartz]

I said it very clearly and you focused on a different issue

[olive stump]

No I won't be providing context

[vapid zephyr]

Considering nobody immediately answered, I feel like the context isn't even desired

[gentle slate]

s23 root yay nay?

[deep fern]

ya

[gentle slate]

what does warranty from carriers even cover? its been 2 months with it and its working perfect.

they dont cover shattered screens or backs or water damage

like... is there a point in keeping the warranty intact

ruh roh rooting will fuck with gpay

[slim yacht]

for what purpose? but like generally a yay

[gentle slate]

idk

debloat

[loud drum]

Day #2 of leaving my PS4 on
I am beginning to not trust it to not catch fire.

[slim yacht]

um can use adb to remove system apps

if you dont want to root that is

[gentle slate]

that aint fun

[fossil frost]

noope, most system apps are in the vendor directory now, which is write locked

[slim yacht]

custom rom while youre at it lol

[loud drum]

I have two seperate giga fans cooking it and it’s still hot

[sweet osprey]

🍞

[slim yacht]

for samsung there are people who already made scripts for it. you can remove it until an update comes and you install it

in an effort to tame s21ultra exynos, i had to find these very ghetto optimization style

[gentle slate]

man im creating a new documents folder

cba with devs and windows. Its an actual jungle. My Games, Saved Games, SavedGames, and a plethora of games that chucked files right in the directory.

[slim yacht]

its amazing how much not bloated every other phone is when i changed today lol

realme is a chinese brand but man their system app is clean

one click disable and it will never bother you anymore

[manic torrent]

ok guys I have a stupid problem with my G502X. The springy sound of the click is slightly annoying

[gentle slate]

headphones

[slim yacht]

change switch 🍞

[gentle slate]

I actually havent noticed it on mine. though ive had a g502 for.. 5 years now?

[manic torrent]

g502x

[gentle slate]

same shit

oh apparently not saem shit

i use a plain old g502 lightspeed

[harsh quartz]

G502 is fine, the x isn’t worth the extra 50$ or whatever it is

[low rain]

Okay so yesterday me and my friend were talking earlier about how much a parent should spend on their kids first car. How much do you guys think a parent should spend on their first car like what do y’all think is the max?

[harsh quartz]

That’s very dependent

[slim yacht]

uh truthfully none. you can borrow them your car and have them get their own later.

[harsh quartz]

Like if your a millionaire, 100k isn’t too bad but if you make 30k a year your probably gonna want like a 2k used beartr

[harsh quartz]

This is what my parents did

[low rain]

Let’s say like 150k

[harsh quartz]

Again, it depends, how much is going towards other dependencies and how much extra do the parents have, is it a kid with a good record or are they going 90 every chance they get, it’s not an easy question

[chrome vector]

Installed windows 11 update, not this is taking forever to start/not starting. Yaaaaaaaaay

Fucking hope this shit works

[harsh quartz]

Hence why I’m not on 11 yet

[slim yacht]

its usually like that not to worry

you should be worried if its a bios update lol

[harsh quartz]

Are you on ddr4 or ddr5?

[harsh quartz]

Na if it’s a failed bios it wouldn’t even get to that point

[slim yacht]

yeah thats the idea

[harsh quartz]

Looks like the SSDs fried, throw the whole computer away

[low rain]

Okay it’s a kid with a good record who just follows all traffic laws, both parents combined makes 300k, and let’s say they have a 60k balance just on their checkings

How much would you spend if it was like that

[chrome vector]

It damn well shouldn't be. I manually updated my BIOS with a USB and the BIOS Flash button. I have a z690-f and a 13900k, I had to update my BIOS to use the 13900k on this MOBO.

[harsh quartz]

I’m a fan of used cars so probably 10-15k max, again tho, I’m a fan of “let the kid borrow the car and then they buy one when they can”

[slim yacht]

bro had to go that route and survived. eh youll be fine waiting for win11 install

[chrome vector]

You were right! It finally loaded. I was just worried because of some other reasons, and kinda pissed off because of that

[harsh quartz]

Ddr5 moment

[slim yacht]

told you, its gonna be fine dood

[harsh quartz]

And windows 11 moment

[chrome vector]

I already had it installed just went to update it

[slim yacht]

i dont understand why the hell is the installation so long either lol

[low rain]

For me I said like max 15-16k but my friend said 5k

[harsh quartz]

It’s a very complicated question and it heavily depends on the family, 5k is actuallly a lot to some people who would just spend like 2k on a car on Facebook marketplace and call it good, it’s a culture thing

[chrome vector]

Technically you're not getting full performance on 13th gen CPUs if you don't use Windows 11 apparently. I begrudgingly decided to try it because of that. I have like, 7-8 physical Windows 10 pro keys/boxes. Used one for my new PC

[harsh quartz]

I’m also not a fan of intel, so I guess it goes hand in hand :p

Well, intel CPUs I should say, I wish I had an arc card just cause

[chrome vector]

Yeah. I can't wait for ARC to get better. I'm so happy about them

[low rain]

Yeah like for my sister she turned 16 like a couple months before Christmas so what my parents did was they told her to look at cars which them and her max was 15k but since she has a job they told her she has to pay for insurance herself, but now that she’s in college my dad is paying for her insurance so she can just save money

[harsh quartz]

Battlemage will probably be hand and foot better than alchemist

[harsh quartz]

I had to buy my first car, my parents let me borrow one until I had enough, so did my one sister, but my other sister got one handed down used from my grandparents and she doesn’t understand the value of her money, I think that’s part of it but again, it’s a culture thing

[chrome vector]

Wouldn't doubt it, I hope so. If there's any company that can catch up with AMD, let alone Nvidia, it's Intel. I really hope Intel and AMD eat marketshare away from Nvidia. Sick of their bullshit, EVGA was the final straw

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, I’m glad 40series is meh but the 7000series is also meh, so I hope intel can push both of them cause AMD is growing complacent too

Also, Ngl, I do like nvidias focus on software over hardware

[tired glade]

Hoping Intel has something interesting in the future

Because they still refreshing their CPU in 9-12 month cycles, but not their GPUs

[lilac bear]

Intel Arc can't do ray tracing that well so it's an immediately terrible card
all I care about is RT

[tired glade]

It pretty good at rt

[quiet orbit]

And then the krill says " I'm one in krillion "

[low rain]

Holy shit for once I have time to eat breakfast

[tired glade]

Why you can't do that before?

Or have prepared breakfast?

[solar canyon]

Hiii

[tired glade]

Hi

[solar canyon]

Where u from

[sick coral]

this sucks

[tired glade]

Next gen game

[sick coral]

why cant a last-gen card run at high settings with rt enabled

[tired glade]

I won't even bother until game on like 90% discount

[sick coral]

why do you have to have a current gen card to do that

[sick coral]

i already bought the game

i loved cyberpunk on release, even with all the bugs

[tired glade]

Wait until ultra mega giga rt effect viable on your pc

[sick coral]

but at the same time i really feel like they could optimise the game way more

[sick coral]

i have a 3080

[tired glade]

That's mid range card already

[polar fern]

Hehe. https://mastodon.social/@Migueldeicaza/111103007495466986

[tired glade]

Hadn't they already back out from everything they stated?

[polar fern]

Don’t know, haven’t looked into it yet, but it’s a meme & comedy gold mine at the moment.

[tired glade]

There isn't push for Godot,so it kinda pointless

[low rain]

Not enough time

[slim yacht]

what it feels like when you go out to a pc store of your choice and somehow its only got gigabyte psu

[low rain]

Usually I just skip breakfast n lunch and then eat like a couple hours after I get back from school

[tired glade]

You don't have 5min in the morning?

[polar fern]

@slim yacht hehe

[slim yacht]

[polar fern]

Unless you have some sort of metabolic or dietary issue, I’d suggest making the time to supply your brain & organs with sustaining nutrients, if not just some basic carbs. Not eating for 2/3 of the day is extremely bad for your health, both short and long-term.

can affect your organs and how quickly you age, and it can also affect tissue growth and bunch of other stuff too

[spice pine]

breakfast gotta be the most useless meal of the day fr

[tired glade]

Also,a banana with toast doesn't take that much time to make

[polar fern]

Not at all

[tired glade]

It is most important one

[polar fern]

You can toast some bread in literally like two minutes

[spice pine]

i have not eaten before 10am in like, 20 years

[tired glade]

Egg with toast,some juice and some fruit is good enough breakfast

[polar fern]

No, you don’t need any juice

[tired glade]

He is on run,that sugar will be healthy

[polar fern]

If you’re going to do juice, freshly squeezed is the way to go.

Bbl

[tired glade]

Juice in general shouldn't be consumed,if you care about your health

[solar canyon]

I am the one who is actually in sadness

I had taken Cyberpunk 2077 when it was free on EPIC Games, But The catch is I USE GT 730 GRAPHICS CARD

Ik it's sad af

[jagged birch]

I just joint the server

[low rain]

I wake up at 7am and leave the house at 7:30, from 7am-7:15am I’m brushing my teeth, flossing, putting on lotion, just rlly all that stuff, from 7:15-7:25 I’m picking out my outfit, double checking to make sure I finished all my work, and then also making sure everything is in my bag and all my electronics like laptop, headphones, phone, tablet, etc is charged and then I js watch TikTok for like 5 mins then I get in the car and I’m otw to school

And sometimes if I’m really hungry I’ll go to a taco truck near my school during lunch and grab food there but it’s like rare that I do that

[jagged birch]

It is sad that i can go to the ltx events because it is to far for me

[past egret]

ok

[jagged birch]

Is it ever coming to the netherlands

[spice pine]

considering they're in canada...? probably not

[jagged birch]

Aah

[green kernel]

eep

[lilac bear]

if anything LTX might be US just due to sheer market

think he said most of his support comes from the US

[gentle slate]

are there no nice mobile emulators

retroarch is confusing me. It works but ehhhh

[vapid cypress]

With the audience he has he could definitely fill a room with 2k people in europe

[gentle slate]

europe primitive. We still no have computer

[harsh quartz]

yeah but theyve talked about how its not meant to be majorly profitable, if at all, so its not really about market size

[vapid cypress]

ok ill wait

[mortal raptor]

am i the only one who gets overly excited, whenever i hear about a new os ?

or using windows 11 on a phone 💀

[full fossil]

tbf I use microsoft launcher on my phone

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-bread-gif-9824952

[mortal raptor]

i really want windows phone to make a comeback

i really dream of this like it's my deepest desire

Bread + cat = dan?

[neon mesa]

Phone as remote desktop client

[full fossil]

I had a windows phone but then in november of 2020 it just started bootlooping so I got a s10e

[mortal raptor]

if it was lumia 950 by any chance , you can run full blown windows 11 on it

[full fossil]

fr? That is literally what I had 😂

[mortal raptor]

even better
phone as a desktop 🍞

[neon mesa]

Shitty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MINKL2-kZjA&pp=ygUUbHVtaWEgOTUwIHdpbmR3b3MgMTE%3D

here is a tutorial (edit : not just a tutorial but also a total review)

if you still have the phone , it's worth a shot

[full fossil]

Yeah probably at the bac of some dusty drawer haha

[vapid cypress]

What would happen you ran samsung dex and had like a windows 10 on top of it

Can you run a vm in a phone 🤔

[spice pine]

suddenly i want a lumia 950

[vapid cypress]

You could probably get a used one for dirt cheap

[mortal raptor]

phoneception

[mortal raptor]

if you want try windows on arm on a phone , get oneplus 7T pro
much better experience

it's actually smooth on it and you can run gta 4 at 27 fps

[spice pine]

that's... interesting

[vapid cypress]

Got games on yo phone

[mortal raptor]

https://renegade-project.tech/en/devices
Here is a link for the project and the supported devices and their status

some devices lack some specific feautres on win11 on arm like audio and stuff

[vapid cypress]

Steiner out here making a windows on phone cult

[mortal raptor]

it's really cheap way to get a very functional handheld

[mortal raptor]

yusss

[vapid cypress]

I own a steam deck :p

So I'm all set

I used to run dual boot on it

Windows 10 and steamos

[mortal raptor]

Steam deck is really good dude
the only thing i wished it has is like the controller to be detachable like the switch

because i'm that kind of person who would have installed android x86 on it and use it as an overkill phone

[vapid cypress]

Would be cool actually

Wreck noobs in apex mobile or something

[mortal raptor]

lol yeah

[neon mesa]

Remote desktop still on top tbh

As long as your place has good internet

Full power of your desktop, on your low power phone that can last for long hours

[mortal raptor]

that's the thing
my internet is worse than linus ability to not start a controversy

[harsh quartz]

steam deck is 20% off atm

[full fossil]

no

[neon mesa]

Steamdeck is another expensive device i need to buy
While remote desktop, i already have both a phone and a desktop so it makes sense

Though if you don't already have a desktop it can be a consideration

I want a fold device badly so i can RDP better

I'll wait for Fold 4s to get affordable in 2-3 years

[mortal raptor]

i would have reserved steam deck right away when it got announced, if it wasn't for my country ridiculous importing tariffs , i would have basically paid 5 times its price

[mortal raptor]

do you trust folds ? their screen durability is still a no no to me

[harsh quartz]

i think the legion go is probably gonna be the better option atm

[manic edge]

tbh, if you need to connect to your computer often while away, a laptop might suit you better

[mortal raptor]

Legion is hot af ngl

Why does LTT 24/7 keep going down

[fierce moth]

Cause they're keeping the stream all to themselves /j

[tired glade]

Plenty of time to make a breakfast

[peak silo]

I just realized that the founder of LTT is a guy who has the same first name as the creator of Linux HAHA!

[wispy marsh]

Linus Torvalds is well respected by Linus Sebastian

I like Apple

[pliant karma]

wtf you on ios 17?

[wispy marsh]

It's been released for two days

[pliant karma]

huh never got that

[pure olive]

Dope

[pliant karma]

I am using standby however

[wispy marsh]

You need to manually get it

[fierce moth]

That's goofy

[summer folio]

There should be an even earlier release, only available on Apple exclusive pre-order DVDs.

[pliant karma]

lol one of the things I sorta saw myself using more now

and iirc airdrop now you can just start it and walk away so hey no more waiting around for it to finish before I can turn off my phone

[wispy marsh]

Public beta's been out since July

[wispy marsh]

It uses data

[wispy marsh]

Nice keyboard, too

this keyboard is making me irrationally angry

[pliant karma]

lol ortho lay out trips me

but I am a sucker for small keyboards

even though they are very impractical for my use case

[wispy marsh]

Are you not always irrationally angry?

I'm not tbh :3

i don't hate this as much but i also really do kinda hate it still

[wispy marsh]

Expensive weaponry capable of both online raiding and blunt force trauma

[hearty spear]

I did it! I think I found the most impractical knife ever made:
https://www.amazon.com/MADSABRE-Collection-Tactical-Survival-Multifunctional/dp/B09NLZC19K/

what the actual fuck is that design, and how stoned were they when they came up with it?

[pliant karma]

👀 hmm square keycaps where did you get them

[wispy marsh]

PimpMyKeyboard

[pliant karma]

oh ye I see hmm

[clever harness]

bred

[spice pine]

what are you on about, that knife'd be great for stabbing

[hearty spear]

no, it'd be absolutely terrible

[spice pine]

i think you're wrong

two stab wounds, and they're uneven blades?

[hearty spear]

any knife that folds in both directions is asking to lose your own fingers

[spice pine]

Seems to me that it's really designed for a "use it either way" kind of demographic but yeah, very impractical

[sick coral]

lol

[vapid cypress]

Can't believe Linus was Evil all this time

im currently using a msi 3050 should i buy the nvidia tesla p100

[polar fern]

For what?

Why is all the audio in headphones suddenly quiet

Goddamn windows

[merry gazelle]

gaming...

[polar fern]

Kind of expensive for unknown performance.

[solar stratus]

My laptop is at 17% while 40% flashing my iPad

Sigh

[past kernel]

why would you buy a p100 for gaming

[uncut sail]

old news or did ltt fuck up again?

[polar fern]

?

[solar stratus]

Old news

Always always

[polar fern]

Bread.

[solar stratus]

Makes sense

[neon mesa]

P100 is welll, GP100 chip
so, like Titan X Pascal
not that good but theoretically better than

actually, above titan x pascal

but the titan will demolish it

in games

in AI/Datacenter workload however weew

16GB HBM2 and 4096 bit baby

either way

actually above 3050 in performance by a big margin

42% faster

the titan one

the P100, not so much

[desert hamlet]

Hey so quick question, are IO shields really necessary? I bought an old lga 775 motherboard for an old PC and the seller doesn't have the IO shield.

[merry gull]

not necessary but it definitely makes it nicer looking

[desert hamlet]

I'm not looking for it to look nice. It's an old retro system for windows XP gaming.

So long as it works idc how it looks.

Is there any way I can make my own io shield?

[neon mesa]

3d print one

[desert hamlet]

One problem with that, I don't have a 3d printer

[neon mesa]

or, the easy path, take a picture of the existing io shield
do perspective correction
then make some art over it
print sticker

[desert hamlet]

Nor do I really have the space for a 3d printer.

[harsh quartz]

make more space

with a 3d printer

[fossil frost]

buy 3D printer, print space

[pulsar spear]

average 🍞

[lament crystal]

Download more space

6 people at my school got suspended, 2 seventh graders and 2 ninth graders got caught smoking weed

Tbh they r so stupid like how do u get caught

And one of my seventh graders got in trouble last year while he was in sixth grade for vaping

[tired glade]

Oh, cool kids found out they aren't cool

[vapid smelt]

DAMN they are so cool, way cooler then you

[tired glade]

Total worth that, for that swag

[low rain]

Like most my school smokes/vapes which is stupid but like the people who got caught were off campus when they were smoking, like during lunch they left

[tired glade]

Less crowded class rooms, I guess

[vapid smelt]

will you ever be as cool as them?

[low rain]

My mommy said that I’m special so I already am cooler than them

[tired glade]

But with smaller medical bill

[harsh quartz]

Imagine smoking anything

Other than ribs or brisket

[vapid smelt]

ill smoke your ass in any race

[vapid cypress]

I hate smokers and drinkers

[harsh quartz]

Like, lighting my pants on fire?

[tired glade]

I hope so

[merry gull]

14 people were caught, suspended (some were expelled) and charged with vandalism for destroying bathrooms and someone stole a sink at my school

[harsh quartz]

Don’t hate the person hate the products and the company

Stealing a sink is insane

[vapid cypress]

I hate you
