[indigo plume]

its best looking game

[stray apex]

60fps upscaled to 4k+frame gen is perfectly fine

[tired glade]

3090

Top end GPU from a year ago

[stray apex]

yes, nvidia still has advantages in raytracing as far as we can tell

[indigo plume]

and nividia has dlss 3.5

[tired glade]

What it is new now,new reflection or shadows?

[fossil frost]

lets play "spot the nvidia fanboy"

[indigo plume]

dlsss 3.5 looks cool af

I dont even have nivida card

[stray apex]

let's play "spot the amd fanboy"

[indigo plume]

im jelous of some of the stuff nivida has

[stray apex]

nvidia's cards are just objectively more interesting
radeon is great value, sure

but amd is hardly pushing graphics tech forwards

they probably don't even give a shit about graphics outside of APU usage

[tired glade]

What new in 2.0 for cyberpunk in rt department?

Global, Shadows or reflection?

[stray apex]

AI raytracing

nvidia really took their two buzzwords and stuffed them into a single feature

[tired glade]

Oh,it got even worse

[stray apex]

it actually does look noticably better, apparently

[tired glade]

You can't even complete with biggest ai accelerator producer

[calm swan]

lets play "who gives a shit", card is card and fanboys are shit in general

[tired glade]

That test can be fully ignored

[stray apex]

no, it really can't

AMD still is only competitive in pure raster, which is totally fine at the moment

[tired glade]

No one cares about bugpunk

[stray apex]

but it's really not ideal that AMD is years behind in raytracing and upscaling

[tired glade]

It still bugpunk

[stray apex]

and intel doesn't seem to be having a great time either

[tidal minnow]

Path tracing is just.

Dam

[fossil frost]

and has already replaced ray tracing in movie production, and has done so about... 10 - 12 years ago

[vapid smelt]

Damn, dam is for rivers

[tired glade]

It can look good, just calculation

[sage sun]

really wonder why people care about graphics these days. graphics got pretty decent 10 years ago, now it's just a pissing contest

should worry instead about story and the actual game performance

[stray apex]

cyberpunk is actually the seventh most played game on steam off a DLC right now

[tired glade]

Everything can be AI generated by then

[tidal minnow]

Dam Balders gate 3 be cooking.

[sage sun]

the only thing ai can do currently is clean my room

and even then... it's still pretty pathetic

[stray apex]

bg3 surprisingly popular considering it's a crpg

[fossil frost]

having played BG, and BG2, BG3's popularity is no surprise

[tidal minnow]

And also its not extremely graphics intensive so there's that

[tired glade]

It's once in decade game

[vapid smelt]

Got to mate with all the people

[sage sun]

you could sell people today tetris for 100 bucks and they'd buy it.

[stray apex]

nah, I mean crgps just aren't nearly as popular, generally

[tired glade]

Nintendo already doing it

[stray apex]

to be fair it's been a while since an AAA crpg came out, but that just makes it weirder

[sage sun]

and that's an example of a very greedy company. i would not want to be part of the modding community when it comes to nintendo.

[tidal minnow]

I'm glad it doesn't get re-release every year as "special edition" or "qnniversary edition"

[tired glade]

It's 150 years old company, they know how to care

[tired glade]

Dlc will come

[fossil frost]

150 year old company that started off with... adult... hotels... and playing cards for kids

[sage sun]

it's like sony re releasing the same game 50 times cause they are mentally bankrupt over there

[tired glade]

They still doing that

[tired glade]

And which games are those?

[fossil frost]

playing cards? i think so... the adult hotels, wouldn't surprise me if they own a subsidiary of that

[tired glade]

Nintendo corporate pretty big and some not called Nintendo

[sage sun]

last of us, and a bunch of others. i think they're working on some remasters atm as well.

[tired glade]

That just 3 games in total

[fossil frost]

it would suck if nintendo did the same... like mario bros, zelda, mario kart, wii/wiiu/switch sports (which gets progressively worse each time), and pretty much every other of the 7 games nintendo re-release with a new coat of paint every few years

ohh wait... thats nintendos entire business model... re-release the same 7 games, over and over

[tired glade]

Nintendo re-released all Mario library everytime new console released

[stray apex]

do you understand the difference between a game series and a remaster

[fossil frost]

do you understand that the last 2 zelda games are the same assets, literally the exact same... with the same story trees... just in a different order

and the last 4 zelda games were essentially the same game, in a different place

[stray apex]

lmao
clearly you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, then

[tired glade]

Last Zelda was biggest expansion pack since Cataclysm

[heady flicker]

wii u didn't sell as well so it's fair for them to re release it

it's a good game anyways

[stray apex]

tears of the kingdom is the same as breath of the wild is an wildass take

[fossil frost]

the last zelda game was effectively a DLC for the previous one, and a lazy dlc as that

[tired glade]

Kinda,it still made profit and even got Cod release

[stray apex]

almost like... a sequel?

[fossil frost]

if sony or ms made a game that completely recycled the map, the textures, and all the rest of the assets, people would light their offices on fire... nintendo does it, stroke of genius

[stray apex]

yes, it's almost like the switch uses a mobile gpu from 2012 or something

[fossil frost]

thats nintendos problem, not a reason to defend them

nintendo chose to build an underpowered system compared to the rest of the generation

[stray apex]

and yet

tears of the kingdom is universally considered a sequel to breath of the wild, not a DLC

such a braindead take lmao

of all the examples you could've gone with, you went with that

[tired glade]

Poor people

[fossil frost]

as opposed to your braindead fanboy take

[stray apex]

"tears of the kingdom is actually a sequel and not merely DLC"
what a fanboy

[fossil frost]

"recycling all the same shit and selling it and selling it for full price is fine"

[indigo plume]

tearts of kingdom is one of the goty contenders

its litterly tears of kingdom or baulders gate for goty

[tired glade]

Someone remember ending of Tears?

[tired glade]

We will know in 2 months

[fossil frost]

because its a nintendo game, nintendo could have released a game where you watch a horse just stand there for 10 hours, and do nothing, and it would still be a GOTY contender because its a nintendo game, and people would call it genius

[stray apex]

ah yes
a game which takes place after another one which has many similarities but adds a new core mechanic, plot and gameplay is definitely a recycled game and not like, a sequel

[indigo plume]

it introduce brand new game mechanics

like mate mfs were making mechs with the new building mechanics

[tired glade]

This year game awards will be surprising or most boring in years

[stray apex]

this is the stupidest goddamn hill you could've picked to die on

like holy shit

[indigo plume]

hate nintendo all u want but they made soild games

[tired glade]

Like garry mode does exist

[stray apex]

I have never and probably will never own a nintendo device

[indigo plume]

like are they anti consumer sure but they still make good games

[stray apex]

tears of the kingdom is a pretty cool sequel

[tired glade]

Let's see what next Zelda will be

[indigo plume]

true

only 2 contenders

[tired glade]

If starfield snipe it,it will be way more interesting

[stray apex]

nah, starfield isn't goty material

[tired glade]

If not,it will be pretty boring

[indigo plume]

hell no star feild is average af

like its not a bad game

but its not a great game eithe

[stray apex]

it's a bethesda rpg in space

it doesn't do anything particularly interesting

[tired glade]

What was last year's game of the year?

[indigo plume]

they played it way to safe

[restive lion]

Bug simulator, now in space

[indigo plume]

elden ring

[tired glade]

Oh, right, that game exist

[indigo plume]

been playing armored core

ngl I like it more than starfield

[tired glade]

It's different genres of games

[stray apex]

ac6 also isn't goty material

[indigo plume]

I know

[dull tapir]

second one is cursed

really cursed

[past egret]

i think dunkey put it really well with ac6

i would love it if theyd made more ac6 games

[tidal minnow]

I hope the next jedi game gets a little more optimised.

[past egret]

cant wait for star wars outlaws to be a division reskin

and its still gonna be disappointing

[restive lion]

Dota?

[dull tapir]

correct

a cursed game

[restive lion]

Dota itself is a great game

[dull tapir]

dota is a great game i play it daily

but community and matchmaking are terrible

[restive lion]

Community is shite, but at least it's not n as bad as league

[dull tapir]

today i got 3 games in a row "let me mid or i feed"

and they went 0/23 and 0/17

[restive lion]

Ranked?

[dull tapir]

ofc

[restive lion]

That's what the report button exists for

[dull tapir]

true but you still lose mmr

they reported me for reporting them

xd

[restive lion]

Lmao

[dull tapir]

gg

[restive lion]

I still think it's dumb that it tells the person you reported them

Commends, fine. Reports, what???

[dull tapir]

matchmaking is awful

you either play premade

[restive lion]

I mostly do friendly matches so that's not an issue for me

[dull tapir]

or get 2 russians and 2 iranians who feed on purpose out of spite to make each other lose

i mostly play turbo now

sick of ranked

[restive lion]

I've only played turbo for years

[dull tapir]

even in legend you get people like this

i used to be ancient years ago now i am guardina

[restive lion]

At least that way if it's a stomp the match is over in 20 minutes

[dull tapir]

i like it it is more face paced

and match is over faster

[restive lion]

I've also discovered I don't have the patience for not turbo anymore

[dull tapir]

same it is quite slow

once you get used to turbo

who do you play

[restive lion]

I've gotten quite good with muerta

To the point where me and my old man will play rounds where he tries to find heroes that can reasonably beat her lol

[dull tapir]

oh

haha

[restive lion]

Honestly she's still absolutely overpowered

Her ult plus a manta style is utterly broken

[dull tapir]

i have never tried her

i know most people who play her are either really good or really bad

i am jugg main

[restive lion]

Well uh, she becomes immune to physical damage, and gains an insane damage multiplier... times 3 with the manta style

[dull tapir]

yes i hate that

playing against her

[spice pine]

Moba 🤮

[fossil frost]

erm, when did linus claim that nebula was going out of business, or seemed to be?

[full fossil]

on 5600 pbo, 200+mhz

should i do -20 or -25

[fossil frost]

you should use corecycler, and a guide, to find out what each individual CO offset should be, dont do a blanket offset for all cores

[vagrant needle]

Yay only 4 weeks to go till I can finally build my gaming pc

[full fossil]

do i need to disable pbo for that

[fossil frost]

no

[fossil frost]

go to #overclocking and ask for the PBO/CO guide

[hidden lagoon]

hello, does anyone know this website and how trustworthy it is ?https://www.inmac-wstore.com

[eager notch]

People say the earth is flat, BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH!!!

it's not flat, it's a cylinder and the bottom is where the lizard people come from, Zucc being the most well known example

[eager notch]

Well I always like to look and see if they have an address, then I search the address on Google maps and the addresses on the website actually come up as the same business so that's a good sign that they are at least a real business

[hidden lagoon]

thanks goose

[full fossil]

Ooh thanks one last question, is CurveOptimiser a necessity?

cant i just enable +200mhz

[fossil frost]

you can, but setting your CO properly means you will be more likely to actually get the +200

[sonic spruce]

I’m considering making computer and other electronics content on my YouTube channel

Good idea or bad idea?

[tired glade]

Bad, sphere is overcrowded

You need something big to stand out

I hate when like there’s guest over and they end up getting quiet so I decide to talk to my dad and then they choose to start talking over me

[eager notch]

El-titty backpack being used as a camera bag at a sportsball game

[sonic spruce]

Chinese tech

Silicon power a55

Like the 1000 in 1 game console

The sjs rx 580,

[low rain]

You should create a 10 in 1 shampoo, conditioner, peanut butter, jelly, Nutella, fan, body wash, cough syrup, fentanyl, and hand sanitizer.

[sonic spruce]

A couple of those would kill you

[low rain]

Yeah like body wash, jelly, and Nutella

[harsh quartz]

Hey so I’ve noticed this weird behavior with my iPhone but not my Samsung, when I have it plugged into my car charger the touchscreen goes all fucky, anyone else ever notice that?

[opal trench]

Yo I have a weird worry as I've not owned a amd gpu in almost 15 years. So I bought a asrock phantom gaming 7900xt I've had nvidia cards for the last well 12 years or more and never seen a hot spot temp difference like this b4. But I was running a benchmark test yesterday on the 7900xt and the hot spot temp seemed way out of hand to me. Can someone tell me if this is normal or way out of line for it.

Hot spot temps are hitting 90 and asrock told me it's normal for this to happen as long g as it didn't hit 100

[tired glade]

Used 7900xt?

[opal trench]

No

[stray apex]

probably fine

[opal trench]

Normal temps hover around 70ish but hot spot was kinda skidish to me

[tired glade]

Yea, you fine

[opal trench]

Also idk if it matters but my gpu is vertical mounted in a o11d

[tired glade]

More air flow won't hurt

[stray apex]

not great for air flow but it's fine

[opal trench]

@tired glade good deal then ty much

[tired glade]

How close is it to glass?

[tired glade]

You fine

[opal trench]

Give or take 2-3 inches

Just a monster of a card and was like wtf. I had sent back a 4070 and hot spot never hit more than 75 is what freaked me out tbh

[tired glade]

You can give little bit more brewing space under case

[opal trench]

Might not be a bad idea

[stray apex]

4070 is just particularly efficient

[opal trench]

I need to get it off the floor anyways tbh

[polar fern]

floor is bad

dust settles, floor is the last stop

i mean if you wanna use pc as air purifier i guess.. but that kinda gross

[summer folio]

Vacuum cleaners exists tho.

[polar fern]

dust gets literally everywhere

it defies gravity, like those silly witches

[heady flicker]

it doesn't matter how much time you spend vacuuming. the next day, it's as if it you never vacuumed

at least on carpet and rugs

[polar fern]

the fans constantly pull in air and air has dust

[olive stump]

Fan filters yo

Fan filter all the things!

[polar fern]

proper air purifier, and pc on desk/table

[harsh quartz]

but where else am i supposed to sleep?

[low rain]

It’s raining super hard and my neighbors are working on their cars with no jackets on

I’m assuming that was their last resort as that’s extremely painful

I meant to reply to the second part

[harsh quartz]

its just a little water

[echo canopy]

It’s like getting sand blasted

it honestly doesnt even look like its raining that hard

i have never felt anything as uncomfortable as trying to cram my foot into a van

[gaunt flower]

is there any website where i can get a custom USB cable made for me?

[native crag]

Length, or color and patterns?

[gaunt flower]

all of the above

more specifically, i need a USB-A Female ending

[native crag]

So A-male to A-female?

[gaunt flower]

A or C male

only end that matters is A-Female

[low rain]

I’m hungry asf and was planning on eating when I got home but now my brother saw his friend so we’re ab to watch a movie

[native crag]

So far I'm not seeing anything direct to consumer. Usually it's B2B or bulk purchase with a "contact us" option. So if you're looking for a one-off custom cable, doesn't seem to be an available market for those built-to-order types

[gaunt flower]

is there any decent quality ones you've found otherwise?

[native crag]

Amazon is probably going to be your best place to search for premade lengths in whatever color you practically want.

[gaunt flower]

yeah i've looked but i'm yet to find one that doesn't look shoddy

[native crag]

Yes, Anchor

[gaunt flower]

anker?

[native crag]

yes, sorry

lol

[gilded forge]

ive searched through anker's website. they mainly only carry 3, 6, and 10 ft cables.

[gaunt flower]

Hm, interesting. looking at that, new problem arises

[polar fern]

custom usb?

[gaunt flower]

reason why i need a female adapter is because cable is for a USB DAC, and the female end plugs directly into the DAC itself. However, it only would fit rectangle sized ends or smaller ones

[native crag]

? You have a model of this DAC to reference online?

[polar fern]

usb dac

cannot recommend

[native crag]

https://www.audioquest.com/page/aq-dragonfly-series.html

Those are sweet. I do recommend

[gaunt flower]

Yes, hip-dac2

[polar fern]

unless youre dealing with a laptop or really low end desktop you should be using the onboard audio jacks

[gaunt flower]

USB-C is for charging only

[polar fern]

oh one of those

[gaunt flower]

i cannot drive my headphones with onboard jacks

[polar fern]

ok so you plug the dac into the onboard audio and into power and plug headphones etc into the dac

[native crag]

Typically it's the analog circuitry in a laptop that's hot-garbage. Poor SNR.

You can put in the best DAC chip, but it's useless if that preamp circuitry doesn't compliment it.

[gilded forge]

this looks like a vape or an ecig.

[gaunt flower]

ifi only makes one easily buyable cable

[gilded forge]

just sayin

[native crag]

That company has been around awhile. They do make good stuff

[gaunt flower]

that cable would be an OTG cable for android, might make problems arise, probably not though. but that cable is also small

[polar fern]

yeah i thgink techmoan reviewed the other discontinued model which he did recommend, but it was discontinued

[gilded forge]

eBay then

[gaunt flower]

plug USB on dac into USB on computer or mobile device, headphones into DAC

[polar fern]

usb for charging, but no usb for data

yeah i know what youre trying to do

[gaunt flower]

usb for data as well

[gilded forge]

can't you just tell Android no data transfer?

[polar fern]

as someone who has done like 20 years of audio editing i cannot emphasize how not good usb is for audio.

[gaunt flower]

im not willing to lug around an entire Amp and Dac system with my laptop

you might want to, i don't

[gilded forge]

if you're on a budget, it's fine. but if you can afford a proper audio setup, then do that.

[native crag]

You only need 2 of the four wires in a USB cable for Power.

2 are the power, other 2 is for data. Just disable the data.

[polar fern]

the processor -can- do audio over usb but its competing with 9002 other processes plus theres drivers and if its not the onboard usb then youre goign through multiple connectors

one sec lemme find the one i'm talking bout

[gaunt flower]

my backpack is already 35 pounds, i am not willing to add more to that for additional audio equipment. a portable dac is the only easy way around this.

[native crag]

https://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-3rd-Gen-Data-Blocker/dp/B06XGM6LJB?th=1

[gaunt flower]

i require data for this, i only mentioned problems might arise when connecting it to a windows system.

[polar fern]

https://audio46.com/products/questyle-m15-portable-dac-amp

[gaunt flower]

this is why i never mention what products i have

[polar fern]

usb for power

[gaunt flower]

"haha what you bought is terrible. get this"

[native crag]

So USB DACs are good for earbud style and small drivers. But if you're using larger cans, you'll need a real amp. Those are rarely portable

[gaunt flower]

don't care

[polar fern]

im not trying to mansplain what to do, i'm simply stating there are better ways to do it that dont involve the jank of usb

[gaunt flower]

it is one cable

[native crag]

Yeah, just get the cable

[gaunt flower]

it works and has worked fine for the entire time i've owned a portable dac

[polar fern]

mmhm

[native crag]

Don't speed too much. You just need a quality cable from a reputable vendor. I would go so far to say "Amazon Basics" would be good enough. They're not bad

[gaunt flower]

i would just need to know who isn't a terrible vendor, and that is all i would need to know

[native crag]

Remember, it's all digital. So it's not an issue of audio quality

Bits make it or not

[elfin jetty]

keks in amazon basics UPS

[native crag]

USB cable, so it's safe

[gaunt flower]

Yes, my only concern is the physical construction of the cable.

[polar fern]

amazon basics is highly unethical and i honestly hope they stop being allowed to sell their own branded stuff.

[native crag]

Seriously then, go with Anker

[elfin jetty]

I mean I'm running an amazon basics ups lmao

its worked flawlessly for a good few months now

[native crag]

Cyberpower UPS units are good

[gaunt flower]

i would, but it seems their ends are rounded versus have a rectangle shaped ending, which wouldn't fit very secure it seems

unless im missing rectangle shaped end on their site

[native crag]

Type A cables are rectangle shaped

[gaunt flower]

Yeah, the housing is rounded though

the housing itself needs to be rectangle

[polar fern]

amazon basics is the e-tailer version of a big box store undercutting the price in mom & pop shops, plus they are generally the lowest quality and typically the contractors that they source stuff from have been caught practicing actual slavery, but sure enjoy your whatever item. out of sight, out of mind.

[native crag]

What's the USB-C port do?

[gaunt flower]

so the housing would need to be like this, instead of

[native crag]

Can you just go with USB-C, why A?

[gaunt flower]

power only

[polar fern]

why do you even need an adapter?

[native crag]

I see, ok

it has an i5 10400F

is an asking price of $800 realistic for it?

[native crag]

You know...you could shave off that rubbery plastic with a razer blade. But...that's up to you. Be careful

[polar fern]

i dont see an image

[elfin jetty]

I mean what, you think cyberpower or really any other brand is different?

[gaunt flower]

theoretically it could fit.. but im more concerned about how securly it would fit

[polar fern]

how much ram?

and what kind?

[gaunt flower]

That could work, would just need to find a USB-C female/female adapter and i could have my pick up USB-C cables. thank you

[native crag]

Yup, exactly.

[polar fern]

@ashen fable what type/how much ram?

[heady flicker]

type c to type a adapter doesn't sound useful

[ashen fable]

oh right yeah,
16GB 2666Mhz ram DDR4
2 slots

didn't think clockspeed would matter for it since it's an Intel processor

[gaunt flower]

it is for this usecase

[polar fern]

ok prolly around $500, yeah. its a solid "last gen" build

[ashen fable]

do you reckon I could make more selling parts individually

[native crag]

Nah, Type A to C is just a pinout change. There's no logic or chip embedded. It's a dumb bridge

[polar fern]

try listing it and see what you get. if no offers then part it out

[gaunt flower]

its useful in the sense that it allows me to plug it into my host device without difficulty

[native crag]

Yes, this

[polar fern]

i wouldnt sell it for less than $400, it may be last gen but its still plenty capable

[ashen fable]

okay thank you

[polar fern]

good luck 🙂

[restive ice]

I am aware

[polar fern]

they are good for if you dont wanna leave it in the vehicle

[restive ice]

I am just curious if he published why

Seems like he hasn't so 🤷‍♂️

[native crag]

Dunno.

Probably needed to advance his career. Typically have to job-hop for pay and title advancement

He's young, so that would make sense

[polar fern]

he did mention wanting his his own shop one day

i'm guessing some opportunity to do that opened up

👀 https://audio46.com/products/audio-technica-bphs1-broadcast-stereo-headset

[native crag]

That's not going to be good for listening to music. Different useage profile

[polar fern]

oh no its this thing https://audio46.com/products/woo-audio-tube-mini-portable-usb-dac-amp

listening to music? i have headphones for that 🙂

also speakers for when folk arent sleeping

https://youtu.be/wwkCbm7xYR0?

my music library is very demanding on speakers/headphones

[plush sluice]

Yo bruh

So like just wondering

How do you get media perms here

[polar fern]

floatplane sub or twitch sub

[vapid smelt]

Or nitro Boost

[low rain]

I’m so happy the movie workers here are chill cause I had to go out to make sure I locked the car and I think I lost my ticket but the guy just let me in

The other movie theatres I go to they always like ask you even if they saw u come in like 10 mins earlier

[low rain]

Or bread roll but you can’t get that anymore

[harsh quartz]

You can get bread roll by baking them

[polar fern]

people who work in limited access type jobs usually learn/are trained to remember people. if they ask everyone for a ticket its probably because the management doesnt know how to run the place & doesnt emphasize the people-centric nature of the job

when i used to work crowd control i could remember people from multiple years past, saved me a lot of time & stress

[low rain]

Also at this movie theater the workers don’t give a fuck and most let you bring food inside

[polar fern]

theatre food is inappropriately marked up so i dont blame them

$6 for a box of m&m with like 5 pieces in there

this one place i used to go up in jersey city absolutely did not care, so folks would bring in whole meals from the food court

i think they were a lil more struct with food not from the food court tho

[low rain]

Now the mall I go to is packed with cops cause there’s shootings like every month here

[polar fern]

murica

[low rain]

There’s like 4 cops just like where you get food at the movies

[vapid smelt]

They make little to no money on the ticket sales

[polar fern]

i thnk 10% is common, but it can be higher depending on the distribution deal

i know back in the 1990's theatres had a lot more leverage on box office split

before netflix and streaming and youtube

[native crag]

^This

Theaters make their money on concessions

[polar fern]

the few independent historic theatres around here tend to get slightly better cut, like 30% and they get to keep the promotional materials (posters/displays etc)

[gilded forge]

which is even more prevalent with the swiftie movie

bc they can sell stupidly tacky, cheap, and low-effort "collectors items"

[polar fern]

one of the benefits of the theatres keeping the promotional stuff is that they can have random screenings of any number of titles and be able to put all the stuff out like its opening night again

those screenings typically get a 50/50 split on box office which is good for the theatre's financial stability

they also typically set ticket prices vs the studio setting them

[native crag]

This guy is a drum God

https://youtube.com/shorts/zFc_QaFxNgk?si=3KK44LVZPDv_YLZH

[polar fern]

on the re-screens not first runs

[gilded forge]

or in the case of the Taylor Swift movie, the studio IS the theater.

[polar fern]

the link after the ? is tracking where youre clicking the link from just fyi

yeah i cant stand that nickle & dime crap

some events you have no option but to buy the promotional stuff, like beverage/food containers and you get the upcharge vs the plain paper ones

one of my favorite things two of the local independent theatres do is re-create the old style food/beverage containers, different straws and stuff, sometimes they even order a batch of era themed stuff - very fun

they often also pair this with ticket prices from the specific era

[native crag]

Need to keep the little shits out that refuse to turn off their phones and cause a disruption. That's why I hate going to the movies

If it's opening night of a new flick, that's ok. But for everything else, no

[polar fern]

thats the other thing i dont miss since the start of the pandmeic, disruptive jerks in the movie theater

sit home watch whatever in 4k with food i just made and no greasy seat or gross floor

[native crag]

Ironically, to solve that you have to charge a higher fee for tickets. It weeds out the riff-raff . Only big spenders take their movie going experience seriously

[polar fern]

used to be $6.50 for a movie ticket back in the day ... now its like $23 and they screen you for goddamn food like its some dangerous item

[random jolt]

that's why I privateer

[polar fern]

i have 80% of my favorite movies on dvd and a few are 4k or whatever it was natively digital

[native crag]

Best movies of the day were back when Steven Spielberg directed.

Most movies are garbage

[polar fern]

before they started showing tv ads before the show

[native crag]

Tom Hanks does a good job too

[gilded forge]

movie enjoyment is subjective. unless it's rise of Skywalker - if you like that move, you're just wrong

[native crag]

I pretend those other Starwars movies never existed

[polar fern]

Ben Stiller & a few others have made movies in the 20teens and 2020's bearable

rise of skywalker is just disney fluff

i enjoyed it but it was also incredibly stupid

[native crag]

Keanu Reeves would have acted out an awesome Jedi

[polar fern]

"woah"

[manic torrent]

Everything is garbage

[polar fern]

hmm not everything 🙂

[graceful burrow]

No, everything, Bob is right

[polar fern]

ok sure -shuts down the internet-

[graceful burrow]

Yes

Yes actually, yes

[manic torrent]

Finally

[plush sluice]

Why there a loaf of bread in channel name

[graceful burrow]

Had to be there

[manic torrent]

Why not

[native crag]

LTT toasted itself

[plush sluice]

🍞

[polar fern]

imagine life with no phone/radio/internet ... must have been very real-time

[graceful burrow]

Sounds good

[plush sluice]

Cause LTT is flexing they have a lot of bread know what I’m saying

[native crag]

They're called the Amish

[polar fern]

i live in pennsylvania, the amish do in fact use phones and stuff

[native crag]

Yeah, there's different levels of Amish. It's a broad term. Very broad.

[polar fern]

bread

bbl

[manic torrent]

Actually quite the opposite

It wasn't even close to real time. You had delays of weeks!

[native crag]

It was real-time from a locality perspective. You actually interfaced with people in the same room

[plush sluice]

Man shutcho nerdy ahh up

jk jk jk

[manic torrent]

.... this still happens currently.

[plush sluice]

I’m kidding

Had to say it

[manic torrent]

Did you?

[native crag]

The primary issue was the cell phone connected to the internet. That changed society. The PC connected to the Internet a very positive thing, as that forced people to be disconnected away from it. But now everyone is always-online and connected. Now it's expected and almost impossible to disconnect during waking hours.

My best vacation was on a shitty cruse boat. I refused to turn on my phone. Shitty food, shitty people. But god damn I was free

[forest remnant]

become an antarctic researcher who may or may not have died from being poisoned

[manic torrent]

While I understand your viewpoint, it absolutely isn't. Am a xennial, so I literally lived when there wasn't cell phones, let alone internet on phones

[manic torrent]

You know you can just do this. At any time.

[native crag]

Not with my job

[native crag]

Gen-X here

[neon mesa]

i don't know man, i'd hate needing to
-go to the bank/atm for something i can do on mobile banking
-painfully needing to find transportation
-needing to buy tickets on site
and other convenience brought from the phone

it's overall positive
you can always delete the social media stuff

[manic torrent]

Quit your job. If you are on call all the time, it's shit.

[forest remnant]

(Most higher level exec positions are like that)

[native crag]

Money or time, rarely can have both. But there's on-call rotation. It's the poison I take.

But for a lot of people, they're on-call anyways with IMs flying back and forth after hours

[manic torrent]

They absolutely are not

[forest remnant]

depends on the company ig

at least in software companies you go from actually developing software to mostly being in meetings about other people developing software

[manic torrent]

Unless you are being paid to be on call, or you have a specific agreement about a specific time for a specific thing that is happening.... it's at most best effort.

[manic torrent]

Oh, I'm very familiar:)

[native crag]

I'm an engineer. My specific job calls for it

[manic torrent]

I recently moved to a company with literally 6 people, so it's weird not having meetings

[forest remnant]

nice

[manic torrent]

Yeah and you have an on call rotation. So when you're not on call, fuckem

[forest remnant]

the company my dad works at develops for global so sometimes his meetings are at 3 am because Asian client or smth

[native crag]

Well, in this job market I'm taking up the rectum. Waiting for things to turn around to ensure stability of employment.

I suspect there will be more layoffs before the end of year

Globally

[manic torrent]

Yeah, but mainly because it gives some fucking douchebag a quarterly bonus

[native crag]

Makes stock valuation look good with less overhead, yeah

[manic torrent]

Ugh yeah I've done a few of those.

Tldr late stage capitalism is fun for everyone*

[native crag]

Well, there's always WW3 to ruin the fun for everyone

So don't think things can't ever get worse, because it can

I coun't my blessings where and when I can 🙂

[manic torrent]

Oh things can always be worse. I find that people are very unimaginative when considering worst case scenarios

[native crag]

So apparently Apple did yeet HTTP/3 support from iOS 17. that sucks

I know they're pushing for L4S, but damn them for yeeting it out from webkit

[forest remnant]

Apple could sell a literal aluminum rod for 300 bucks and people would buy it

[heady flicker]

that's cheap

the monitor stand is $999

[forest remnant]

true

[heady flicker]

wheels are $700 per set

[native crag]

My tech wish list I needed yesterday
A FIDO2 NFC wearable ring that I can swipe over a mouse with NFC reader built-in. Would make MFA so much easier to ack them

[forest remnant]

im talking about like a 1mm diameter 50mm tall rod

[native crag]

Halo product. You're buying the privilege of exclusivity, not the metal.

[forest remnant]

Im going to sell a rock and call it exclusive because it's 1 of 1

[native crag]

De Beers already serializes their diamonds

[graceful burrow]

That's basically what nft's were tbh

So there's a lot of people who fall for that shit kek

[native crag]

NFTs worthless now. AI can pump them out with little effort

[forest remnant]

the diamond industry is a while nother topic

[native crag]

It's marketing of a monopoly

[opal thunder]

moissanite is better imo for rings

cheaper and looks better to me

[forest remnant]

ammolite is cool but not cheap

also just get like, lab grown diamonds

[native crag]

CVD for the win

[pseudo mesa]

diamonds burn, use elemental tungsten instead

now that is forever

[forest remnant]

diamonds burn in oxygen

[opal thunder]

moissanite has more brilliant shine and is barely less hard so its basically better than diamonds for rings if you want it to look like diamonds and aren't a jeweler that can tell the difference.

[forest remnant]

tungsten also burns

[pseudo mesa]

you aint burning tungsten

[forest remnant]

cough cough styropyro

[opal thunder]

tbh diamonds are a scam besides the industrial uses

[native crag]

https://www.cleanorigin.com/blog/cvd-diamonds/

[forest remnant]

(That's the point of the diamond industry)

[opal thunder]

yeah and people still want them because it is culturally ingrained into them

[fierce moth]

Doing some more driving today

[forest remnant]

culturally engrained into them by the diamond industry

[opal thunder]

[native crag]

It's a stone. IMHO I think emeralds are the best

[forest remnant]

anodized titanium and tungsten rings are the best looking imo

[opal thunder]

based opinions detected

[forest remnant]

don't do that teeth ring thing though

[native crag]

Just hope you never have to cut it off

[opal thunder]

lmao

[forest remnant]

yea don't wear rings that are too tight

or not take them off for years on end

[opal thunder]

fr

I can't even wear my watch for more than 12 hours how tf do people not get uncomfortable in them for 15+ years... (Same thing for rings too wtf.)

[forest remnant]

I sometimes go to sleep with my watch

mostly on accident

[glacial grotto]

I’d always be thinking of charging my watch

[opal thunder]

Same but I cannot be awake and wear that shit for days.

[forest remnant]

I am a chad and do not use watches that require charging or replacement batteries

[glacial grotto]

Fair enough

I don’t have the brain capacity to read analog quick enough

[opal thunder]

I use both 😈

[native crag]

That's what I hate about smart watches, they go obsolete quickly

[forest remnant]

Citizen Eco-Drive SkyHawk A-T 🦾

[glacial grotto]

So you have… two watches??

[opal thunder]

Use to.

wait is it "used to" or "use to"

[glacial grotto]

Idk

Used I think

[opal thunder]

I feel like I wrote that wrong for some reason.

[native crag]

Heavy

[tribal current]

Can I show you my tech tip?

[opal thunder]

Same.

[forest remnant]

I don't have to ever set my watch even and though it's analog

[pulsar violet]

So I have this hub but I’m confused as it has 4K 60 but I was wondering if it had 1440P 120 or even 1080P 120? https://ca.ugreen.com/collections/hubs-and-adapters/products/7-in-1-multiport-adapter-with-4k-60hz

[forest remnant]

eh 45mm case it's smaller than my last watch

[glacial grotto]

I have 2000+ discord notifs

[tribal current]

Had it, was finicky with output resolutions, would pass

[pulsar violet]

Alr yea I have it currently and works great, but I’m getting a 4K 120hz tv and I want to know if I can just chill with this plugged in to get at least 120hx at a decent res when kicking it back with some friends

[glacial grotto]

Almost 2500 pings

[native crag]

120 hz will depend on the chipset used

[pulsar violet]

The controller within the hub?

[native crag]

If it's a USB disply, it might have DisplayLink (not to be confused with Display Port)

[glacial grotto]

Yeahhh 2500+ now

[pulsar violet]

No it’s HDMI 2.1

[native crag]

https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics

They're the main GPU vendor for USB display adapters. It's basically a very low powered external GPU from the PC but doesn't do any 3D. Pretty much restricted to direct draw API and whatnot

[glacial grotto]

500 of them just got deleted

[native crag]

If it was a Thunderbolt hub that uses the Type-C, then you would be connected to the iGPU of the laptop via the DisplayPort protocol

https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/displaylink-products

[pulsar violet]

Is it a certification standard or company branding?

[native crag]

DisplayLink is a branding, not a standard

https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/integrated-chipsets

[pulsar violet]

I currently have that hub I was just wondering if I could get at least 1080P 120hz, I don’t dramatically need any new hubs/dongles but it was just nice thing to know if it could output that as the tech specs on the hub didn’t state the standard

[native crag]

Their best chipset is currently the DL-6950. And it don't see frequency support for anything higher than 60 Hz

https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/integrated-chipsets/dl-6000

This is their 5000 series. Look at page 2

[delicate stirrup]

is the iphone 15 pro any good

[native crag]

If you've got thunderbolt and/or displayport over USB-C

Not all laptops have either. Cheaper laptops often have USB-C for USB3

[pulsar violet]

Asus Zepherus dw

[native crag]

Yeah, TB4 with DP. You're good

[pulsar violet]

This thing has a HDMI port

Im stupid

I didn't even bother looking cause I recalled not seeing one

https://tenor.com/view/face-palm-gif-20569409

[native crag]

https://www.amazon.com/Silkland-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0B9BZKR24/

It works with PC too

[low rain]

Holy shit I’m at the movies and the people in front of me are vaping and the smell is so strong

[native crag]

What juice are they using? Smells like gummy bears?

[pulsar violet]

My TV doesn’t have DP, I don’t think a normal manufacturer has had that

That’s why I’m asking for HDMI 2.1

[native crag]

Ahhok

[pulsar violet]

I already know that USB over DisplayPort works normally and HDMI has another standard already that requires a converter

[native crag]

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-48Gbps-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B08QDV5H4M/

[pulsar violet]

Kick the chair super hard and then pretend like your asleep, yes I’m petty like that

[native crag]

"Connect 8K 60 Hz or 4K 120 Hz gaming monitors and TVs to laptops, smartphones, tablets, and more with the HDMI to Type C cable; USBC to HDMI cable supports a maximum video resolution of 8K 60Hz; Enjoy high-quality video with no loss in picture quality with the ultra high speed HDMI cable; HDMI USB C cable (HDMI USB-C cable) is backward compatible with 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and lower resolutions"

[pulsar violet]

Same thing above #public-chat message

[native crag]

Yeah, get that one

[pulsar violet]

I don’t need it though

Since I already have HDMI 2.1

I’ll just get a normal HDMI 2.1 certified cable

[pure olive]

kick them in the back of the head

[native crag]

Maybe it's late, but I'm not getting it.

You just need to output from your laptop over to HDMI in 4k @ 120Hz, yes?

That cable should do it

[tepid jasper]

light a match (satire)

[pulsar violet]

#public-chat message

HDMI 2.1 is the standard for 120 HZ

2.0 and below is always 60Hz below

4K doesn’t matter that much to me

[native crag]

So you're just needing an HDMI 2.1 cable direct. Simple enough.

Yeah, it's late. I'm going to call it a night

[pulsar violet]

Yea, no I realized I had a HDMI 2.1 port and forgot, I commented about it above, thanks for trying to help though

Msi m99 gaming mouse. For £10 is that a good deal?

[tired glade]

If it works

[jaunty compass]

was making a steam deck mod, we've hit a bit of a roadblock

[graceful burrow]

what kind of mod

[manic torrent]

Making it shoot fire

[graceful burrow]

sounds badass im in

[graceful burrow]

[manic torrent]

Oh wait... using it as a targeting computer for a rifle with an actuated trigger block

[jaunty compass]

the road block I hit was realizing i'd need to design a mounting kit and dremel the back off of my steam deck because there's no 3d printable back shell yet

but there's someone online actively working on it

the idea of the mod is to make it convenient to swap things from the m.2 slot with a removable cover

to make using an egpu for example, conventient and quick

[graceful burrow]

yeah you'd need a 3d printable back cover for sure

[jaunty compass]

i was operating under the assumption there was one i could modify and print but the model i had isn't printable and i didn't realize until i already designed the detachable cover piece

[meager summit]

[jaunty compass]

so now I have to wait for the guy online working on 3d scanning it to actually do it, or i can make a bracket piece and dremel it myself

which I don't want to do

[graceful burrow]

fair

[tribal wagon]

where should I share a pc part list for a review

[graceful burrow]

#1106613567966429224 is technically the correct channel but most people use tech chat 1/2

[tribal wagon]

okay very well

[tidal minnow]

Hmmm I must find a mobo with 4 dimm bois

[quick swan]

can i send someone specs of pc and i need to know if it supports radeon nitro rx 580

[graceful burrow]

if it has pcie of any gen it supports an rx 580

[fierce moth]

Got more parts coming for the gc

Got my Asus oled today loving it so far

[misty plover]

week 2 of working at a tech store
some dude comes to look at laptops
i show him a decent laptop with an amd processor

he says "but the intel name numbers are higher no?"

thats what AMD has to do to win i guess

[misty plover]

stonks go up

[indigo plume]

I hate being restricted by wires with this senheiser headset

[quick swan]

is that a motherboard or a cpu?? lol

[still yacht]

me to

[graceful burrow]

looks like you've got research to do

[quick swan]

yes but is that a brand of motherboard or like a spec of a motherboard

[graceful burrow]

it's a spec on the motherboard, it's what desktop graphics cards plug into

[quick swan]

ok ty

i will see, other than that is the pc parts good?

[graceful burrow]

i have not even looked

[quick swan]

they are in tech chat 2

im wondering witch one to buy

they are 2 different pcs

can you see orrr

[graceful burrow]

the first one doesnt have the cpu model listed and only has 4gb of ram
you'd have to pay me to recommend that one
the second one doesnt list motherboard so i cant answer that either
there isnt enough information for me to make a solid recommendation

[sonic spruce]

So if the pc has no nvme slots, can you make an nvme drive your boot drive without using other drives?

[graceful burrow]

if the pc has zero nvme slots
how are you planning on making an nvme your boot drive

[opal thunder]

👆

[graceful burrow]

they are not bluetooth

[fierce moth]

funky pcie adapters

[quick swan]

@graceful burrow the first one has 16gb ram, but it has 4gb gpu ram

[sonic spruce]

Pcie adapter

[quick swan]

so thats that

[fierce moth]

but heck, not al bioses support pcie drive boot

[graceful burrow]

that still means i dont have enough info

[quick swan]

ok

[raven heath]

Guys what gpu would u suggest me for max 250€???? Not used

[quick swan]

what info do i need to get

also can you add me so when i get info i can send to you

[graceful burrow]

no, i'm not your personal tech support

[quick swan]

okay

thanks ig

what info do i need to get for someone other to answer that

like motherboard or what

[fierce moth]

N64 hdmi mods gives me chills

You have to solder directly to a chip

[graceful burrow]

yeah i hate that

[sonic spruce]

Does it output an analog or digital signal?

[graceful burrow]

bro what

hdmi is never analog

[sonic spruce]

N64 natively outputs analog which is why I was curious?

Anyways, what’s a good 140mm fan that I can hook up to this for argb?

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes Cpu cooler, Dual TL-C12C-S PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4/AM5/Intel LGA1700/1150/1151/1155/1200 https://a.co/d/6ZZ8tr5

It’s gonna be for exhaust

[graceful burrow]

you cant put 140mm fans on that

[fierce moth]

The cable is soldered to the DAC

[graceful burrow]

it doesnt have mounting hardware for 140mm fans

[fierce moth]

So it gets the native digital signal directly from outputs before it gets converted to analogue

[graceful burrow]

i mean you can, absolutely
but you'd have to find out a way to mount them

maccas is slang for mcdonalds

A form of slang if you will.

it was easy to deduce if i didnt, but i have a buddy who says it

tech discord btw

something to think about

[buoyant robin]

I can't find last friday's WAN show VOD on youtube...haven't watched yet

nvm...found it. it's in video section

[fierce moth]

I think there should be a clear distinction between the Ohio's and Florida's of the world

Like the Florida's of the world are confirmed to have some wacky shit

While the Ohio's of the world is bit more mysterious

[full fossil]

.

[hot tide]

whats taking so long with the wan vod on floatplane

[graceful burrow]

Every time someone asks they push it back a few hours so we gotta get it together man stop ruining it for us

[gilded forge]

lmao

[summer folio]

Luckily YouTube exists.

Did they fix the @full fossil Android Bug ping thing?

yep

[hot tide]

floatplane has better quality+preshow

[summer folio]

Here I thought Preshow was a Facebook exclusive feature.

Did something went wrong last podcast btw?

not up on YT either

[summer folio]

just 35 minutes of the last podcast is up on Facebook

[tired glade]

YouTube has more than billion daily users, you know, server slidly more stressed

[visual frigate]

Guys does having a PC that can only run games older than you, sucks?

[tired glade]

No

Those are pretty good games

But you should start saving for upgrade

[visual frigate]

It's the family PC, and I did upgrade in 2022 (to a gt 730)

[tired glade]

Yea, you should get something more modern down the track

[summer folio]

Öh, they upploaded it on "Videos" instead of "Live" vod section

[harsh quartz]

skillgap

[visual frigate]

I'm just trying to get into college right now so not playing games much, but gonna get an internship and and start saving for an entirely new PC

[tired glade]

Oh, you at that time when you almost have high paid job

[vapid cypress]

Just buy a steam deck

[summer folio]

lol

Warcraft 3 runs on a anything, no need to upgrade

[vapid cypress]

Boomer game

[tired glade]

Still better game than latest AAA

[vapid cypress]

Most likely true

Because games today are buggy as hell, low level copy paste sequel

[summer folio]

Just like how Fallout 2 is objectively the best Fallout game.

[fierce moth]

Counter point

Fallout new Vegas

[gilded forge]

new Vegas for sure

[tired glade]

Fallout 2 still the best

[tired glade]

Because wc3 custom maps have more game in it

[fierce moth]

Doom is still a good game

I always play it when I homebrew a new system

[fickle hedge]

Why is everyone bread

[graceful burrow]

Had to be there

[past egret]

do those microwave toasters actually work

[tired glade]

Slow wattage, maybe

Putting on sun will do it better

[dull granite]

men

[fallen rover]

Because bread is tasty, especially the brioche kind

French people make it, and it's tastier than normal bread because it has more eggs in it

[fickle hedge]

Who's in your pfp?

[tired glade]

Japanese bread is still the best

[fickle hedge]

I'm eating sushi tonight

[fierce moth]

I have a couple of bottle caps laying around

Better start collecting just Incase

[uncut sail]

I enjoyed fallout new vegas the most, 3 was my first and i have alot of nistolgia for it

[hollow knot]

Oppenheimer: The IMAX Experience® in 70MM Film

[old yacht]

Sushi be S Tier

[tired glade]

Oh

[fierce moth]

Counter point, home cooked food is better

Like literally anything

[old yacht]

Nah I prefer to have my financial stability in the balance so i can have restaurant sushi

[fierce moth]

Well what ever floats your boat

I suppose

[tired glade]

Which sushi, let's start with that

[old yacht]

so my fav "cheap" role is Spicey Salmon with cream cheese

[tired glade]

Oh,roles

[dull granite]

:3

[fierce moth]

Tbh I haven't had sushi since I was like 5 years old

And now I'm turning 18 in 2 weeks

[tired glade]

They pretty good if fish is fresh

[polar fern]

[queen hull]

Where can I get a cheap legit windows key ?

[old yacht]

Vancouver area has some of the best sushi in Canada

[tired glade]

It doesn't matter for me, I make them myself

[summer folio]

Student?

[tired glade]

It's fast food after all

[queen hull]

No

[summer folio]

Use the Windows Key you already have maybe?

[queen hull]

I don’t have one

[summer folio]

not even an old Windows laptop in storage?

[queen hull]

No these are in use

I just build a new pc

[summer folio]

I see

[summer folio]

I would maybe just run Windows without valid cd-key then, just click skip at cd-key stel when Installing?

[fierce moth]

Problem is, I don't like fish

Ik, I'm weird

[summer folio]

What does everybody else do? Buy a Windows 10 key online somewhere, bind it to a Windows account instead of local account & upgrade it to Windows 11?

[fierce moth]

I still have my win10 key that I got back in 2016-2017

Still valid to this day

Been through so many systems

[tired glade]

Which fish?

[fierce moth]

Any

I just don't like sea food

[tired glade]

What you tried?

[summer folio]

I had a n Windows 8(?) OEM License once(bound to motherboard) - So had to call Microsoft & Tell the indian guy tech support my motherboard died so needed help to transfer my cd-key. Gg ez

[fierce moth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I like my food chilling on land

[summer folio]

The great thing about Windows is you don't even need to reinstall, just transfer the harddrive from the laptop to the desktop & it will just work

[tired glade]

I mean,fish lining ocean,in lake and rivers are all different taste products

[summer folio]

Love me some mackarell

[steep vapor]

is it safe to swap m.2 ssd's around cause since i installed a second one my pc acting wierd

[hollow knot]

yo oppenheimer 70mm imax is unreal. the ammount of detail in every single frame is crazy

[neon mesa]

my -1.25 myopic eye:

[glass lantern]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that even a budget phone having USB 2.0 speeds is unacceptable in 2023 when the USB 3.0 standard has been about since 2008, frecking 15 years.

[neon mesa]

it's a phone

barely anyone need 3.0

[hollow knot]

you can take binoculars and look at the screen and see every single minute detail

[glass lantern]

your point

[neon mesa]

not excusing apple
but it's also not as big of a dealbreaker as many make it out to be

[hollow knot]

nah I stream my iphone to a 12k 240hz monitor using the charging port, huge dealbreaker

[tepid jasper]

i mean they literally used lightning for how long now and those had 2.0 speeds no?

i bet most people just use icloud or whatever anyways

[glass lantern]

There is a big golf between nobody needing 5Gbps and 480Mbps, there are SD cards that can easily saturate 60MB/s

[fierce moth]

The only important thing that Apple should implement with the new usb C port is fucking usb PD

[neon mesa]

again, a very tiny amount of people need them

[glass lantern]

You can get very reasonably priced interent that is 480Mbps

[hollow knot]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-spongebob-sad-spongebob-crying-gif-21679826

[neon mesa]

and honestly if you are someone who needs V60 SD cards you can probably get the higher end iphone 15 pro

[fierce moth]

Everyone should be allowed to use usb pd

[heady flicker]

even if only a tiny amount of people that use them, it's still absurd that it's only 2.0 at that price point

[neon mesa]

the charging speed is a far bigger problem than 2.0

[tepid jasper]

no it is

but the speeds is probably fine for most people

is what they're saying

[glass lantern]

Yeh but I'm not an Apple user my phone already charges at 120W so I'm more mad about the 2.0 thing

[neon mesa]

that makes no sense

[fierce moth]

My phone charges at 45w

[lilac bear]

everyone mocking the iPhone 15 for still having 2.0

[neon mesa]

if you're not an apple user why would you be mad about the 2.0 either

[glass lantern]

I don't really use the full 120W all the time it's just when I am feeling impatient or don't have the time usually I charge are 35 or 65W

[glass lantern]

Because my phone still has USB 2.0

[tepid jasper]

i think the bigger flop is that the 15 is basically the 14 with usb c, or at least, that's what i heard

[glass lantern]

120W fast charging, still USB 2.0

[neon mesa]

okay what does have to do with apple

and you already having super fast charge means you should be more mad at apple's slow charging speed

[knotty halo]

can anybody help me with a psu / gpu issue

[summer nova]

Ay I used a 10 year old Xbox live 7 day free trial and now I’m using it to play COD BO2 from Xbox 360 on an Xbox one x

[lilac bear]

in terms of spec, you don't need the upgrade
but the action button and smaller bezels are nice

[fierce moth]

Lol, Apple being goofy with 15w charging

My gamecube uses usb C and pulls more power lol

[lilac bear]

cries in Pixel 7 with 23w

[glass lantern]

Yeh, but I am never going to buy a iphone because I refuse to spend more than $500 on a phone

[fierce moth]

My cube is at 40 watts over usb pd iirc

[marsh carbon]

Id rather have 15w and battery longevity

[glass lantern]

I am actually just mad about budget phones having USB 2.0, everyone else brought up apple

[neon mesa]

typical apple copium

[glass lantern]

don't make assumptions.

[marsh carbon]

You can also just make android phone do same and have the option of quick charging

The 15 non pro wouldnt have 3.0 without a new chip

Im more sad that no SE or mini

SE is a great value

[neon mesa]

used flagships are value

the SE... i just hate the very outdated design and 16:9 screen

[marsh carbon]

Used strong as well, agree

I just want software support

[neon mesa]

i mean, why such a powerful chip on something on a shit small screen

the mini makes better sense

still wide screen

[marsh carbon]

SE uses the cheapest chip they still made

[neon mesa]

the SE's design simply aged like milk

[fierce moth]

Me with my s22u

[marsh carbon]

SE is the perfect phone for my grandparents

It makes calls and didnt change in 10 years

But for real, do many people use the 3.0 speeds day to day on there phone

[glass lantern]

Now tell you what I am actually mad about with Apple and that is storage pricing on the Mac Mini, $800 for 2TB when you can buy a 2TB drive for $120. Like I could pass them charging $240 and making a 100% margin, but 800 frecking dollar.

and it's actually just the NAND that they are changing, so it's actually an even higher markup.

Like if there was a M.2 slot even if it was just SATA so it kinda pushes you towards buying internal storage it wouldn't make me so mad

I would be like w.e. at least I can add some storage.

[lilac bear]

only content creators really
doubt most people even plug their phone into the PC to begin with

[marsh carbon]

Agree, so not sure why people care about non pro having2.0

[marsh carbon]

You will use dongles and enjoy it-apple

[lilac bear]

easy rage bait to hate Apple for social media clicks and clout

[west sage]

What was that guys name he had a white pc with a tv as a monitor

and he had long hair

[glass lantern]

I use a TV as a monitor.

[west sage]

No the guy has a Samsung oddesy

He sold it for a tv monitor like 8k

And then used a nother monitor
