As a second monitor

[uncut sail]

Ngl I'd take an old ass expensive 1080p tv over most sub 500$ 4k tv's

[glass lantern]

I wanted a 40" 4k display and if I wanted a monitor in that size and resolution I would have to spend $600 - $1000 where as a TV was $250... EASY CHOICE!!!

[west sage]

Bro

[uncut sail]

atleast when it comes to 55in or bigger

[west sage]

What was he guys name on tiktok

He had beef with some 1million followe guy

[uncut sail]

and u get that built in roku 😄

[west sage]

Like ages ago

[glass lantern]

Like a 5 years ago you could get 4k 40" monitor relatively cheaply if you bought a Chines brand, but they just seem to have stopped making them or something.

probably because the reason people were buying them was because of bad windows UI scaling and 4k 40" is the same pixel density as 1440p 27" so a lot of people were buying them, but I still want the desktop reale state.

[summer nova]

My god it’s true COD BO2 online is back

[spice pine]

when are they going to bring back the good COD games

like Ghosts and MW3

[lilac bear]

Ghosts was hated though

[summer nova]

I found a brand new ghosts in the recycling

Still has the Xbox live free trial

So I used it

[spice pine]

Ghosts was so much fun though, had a decent campaign, neat changes to multiplayer, plus the whole cryptids thing

that was pretty neat

[lilac bear]

campaign was very fantasy lol
but I guess I'd rather take that over recent versions
the multiplayer, yeah more open maps and less of a rush to kill

[summer nova]

Call of duty BO2 multiplayer is just how I remembered dit

I cant remember if I played it on ps3 or Xbox 360 though

[merry gull]

[gilded forge]

I mean.. yeah. the SE is basically modern bionic SoC inside of an iPhone 8. but for reference, a refurbished pixel 6 pro from Amazon is about as much as an SE from Apple.

[merry gull]

i hope your tracking decides to take a shit like it did for me a few months ago

yet

[stone igloo]

128mb ram is more than enough

[full fossil]

256mb ram is better

[merry gull]

agreed!

doesn't sound like you're charging it right then

nico typing a whole life story rn

[stone igloo]

Installing modern games on floppy discs is the best way to store them

[merry gull]

i use a ramdisk

[stone igloo]

No iam just to stupid to type

[stone igloo]

I use Arch btw.

[merry gull]

w user

[stone igloo]

And-and iam really bored rn

[merry gull]

cool

install arch again

[stone igloo]

Good Idea, seems kinda dumb to use a system thats stable and working right now

[echo canopy]

Arch is stable if you’re skilled enough

[dry isle]

I’ve had arch as my daily (same install) for a couple years I think now

[high yarrow]

well not gonna shill gentoo here but other than with arch where instabillity is verry often not due to the lack of skill, in gentoo that is verry rare and systemstability is generally more directly corelated, where lack of skill can certainly also produce a stable system but high skillz should always produce a stable system.

[harsh quartz]

mmmmwindows

[high yarrow]

in winows stability is inversly corelated to skill so it seems to me

[harsh quartz]

actually fair

if you just leave it alone, its fine, run your updates and its cool, if you try and fuck with the registry, there goes your install 😛

[echo canopy]

Windows just slowly kills itself over time

[harsh quartz]

no?

[high yarrow]

every os does that (other than novel netware perhaps wich just keeps on trucking for a couple decades ...)

[echo canopy]

With the average user installing and forgetting to uninstall or the uninstaller not uninstalling everything

[echo canopy]

Nix/the proper use of firejail should prevent that

[harsh quartz]

im sorry i feel like i just had a stroke trying to read that

[echo canopy]

I fixed it

[harsh quartz]

i still dont understand what your trying to say

[echo canopy]

Programs on windows leave a lot of shit behind or the average windows user forget to even remove it properly

[high yarrow]

wanna bet you cant find a nix system that out runs a novell netware system in uptime anywhere 😄

[harsh quartz]

aight so eveyr couple years just do a clean reinstall

but thats not really a windows issue

[echo canopy]

Which the average windows user does or gets a new pc

[echo canopy]

It’s part of not having a package manager

And no winget isn’t it

[merry gull]

[harsh quartz]

yours isnt?

[vapid cypress]

It's grey

[merry gull]

AMOLED user since late 2019

[harsh quartz]

if you have an OLED screen on your phone, go into settings and hit dark mode, then keep hitting the dark mode button, you get super dark mode

[merry gull]

you don't even need an OLED display

[harsh quartz]

It used to be oled mod

Diagnosed?

[dull granite]

??

[lapis solstice]

Did a doctor diagnose you?

[vapid cypress]

As low as 50€ a month with klarna payments 🥰🥰

What a a silly marketing

[jaunty compass]

nah i'd just pay

fuck debt

[vapid cypress]

Real

[merry gull]

as low as $20,000 per year with a single downpayment of $100k

[dull granite]

yo, fuck off buds

ableist piece of shit

none of your buissness really

[lapis solstice]

I don't mean any offense, was just asking

[dull granite]

yea duh

bunch of mfers refusing to believe anything you say unless you show them the fuckin

[vapid cypress]

That sounds so cheap

[dull granite]

piece of paper signed by a doctor

[vapid cypress]

They just asked a question

[dull granite]

and your card information next to it

[jaunty compass]

they automatically assume you're just saying it for attention and self diagnosed on webMD 💀

[merry gull]

and this is why you get banned

[dull granite]

yea ofc ofc

[jaunty compass]

Do I need a doctor to diagnose me with a caffeine dependency?

[dull granite]

guess what

[merry gull]

they literally asked a question and now you're mad at them?

[dull granite]

yea?

like why not

[jaunty compass]

new radeon drivers
I wonder what these do

it also fixes some crashes and adds support for a few new games

party animals
isn't that the gang beasts clone

[merry gull]

• you brought it up
• they asked if you were diagnosed by a doctor
• and now you're mad

again they literally asked about it, no need to be a dick - if you didn't want questioned you shouldn't have brought it up

[dull granite]

ok NT

last time i remember it was kind of fuckin ableist to immediatly question someone's neurodiversity

[merry gull]

asking someone about a condition isn't being ableist, making fun of it is

stop crying

[dull granite]

like "hi i have adhd" "UMM ACTUALLY UR FAKING IT + ur just addicted to tiktok you kiddo + where's your doctor's diagnosetion"

all of them kids are faking it for clout! this is why i will question literally everyone because duh

[pure olive]

Kick the

[jaunty compass]

can I ask

what clout is there to be gained by having a condition

[merry gull]

^

[dull granite]

then why

[dull granite]

why ask this then

[merry gull]

because people have lost trust in everyone because of the people who actually do fake it for clout, so now it makes it hard to trust

[dull granite]

okay but "doctors diagnosis" doesnt fix it

[merry gull]

no one asked for a fucking medical record, they wanted a yes or no answer

[jaunty compass]

If having adhd made you popular I would have had a very different experience in high school

lmao

[dull granite]

yea but thats not what i meant

I'm glad motherboard form factors have not changed for a hell of a long while.

[jaunty compass]

pov: you've never heard of DTX motherboards

[dull granite]

you can't immigrate to some countries if you have the diagnosis

[jaunty compass]

manufacturers refuse to admit mini-DTX is a real form factor

they call those boards micro atx like the lying bastards they are

[dull granite]

like australia, new zeland, and until recently canada

also it can be really expensive

and also you won't always find a good doctor

[jaunty compass]

new zealand doesn't let you emigrate if you have an autism diagnosis? the fuck

[dull granite]

immigrate

this is why asking people "ok if you're asd then do you have the diagnosis" is controversial

[jaunty compass]

what the fuck

[dull granite]

this is like the

[harsh quartz]

so your mad because you BMed a mod and refused to aggree to the rules and your blaming that on a mental disorder?

[jaunty compass]

and here i thought sweden was cool

[dull granite]

BMed? tf is this

[harsh quartz]

bad mannered, you were rude to a mod

[jaunty compass]

literally none

all I get is atx motherboards and cases

[dull granite]

and?

like

[elfin jetty]

[harsh quartz]

so you were rude to a mod, and refused the rules, and your expecting to just, what, be greeted with open arms?

[dull granite]

i didnt refuse the rules

i just replied 'nah' when a mod reminded me

to read the rules

[harsh quartz]

"please read the server rules" "nah"

[jaunty compass]

unlucky

[dull granite]

i already was past all of this

[elfin jetty]

[dull granite]

verification, reading rules etc

[harsh quartz]

what youve said is that you ignored a mods request and then got rude to them, yeah, theyre gonna ban you

[dull granite]

ebay or other craigslists if ur lucky

[jaunty compass]

this actually ended up being the case thanks

[harsh quartz]

saying no to a mod isnt a joke, its just being rude to a mod for no reason, they dont know if your joking or not through text

[dull granite]

okay so

[harsh quartz]

oh, hey, you might not want to trust it tho

[jaunty compass]

I've bought from ali before

[dull granite]

do people deserve to get permamently banned for being rude to someone once

[harsh quartz]

hey, its your money 😛

[jaunty compass]

these are tray cpus and are a couple gens old; it's like $44

[harsh quartz]

depends on the server and what mood the mods in, but being rude to people has consequences

You think a Raspberry Pi 2B would be a good enough Steam cache server for a single computer?

I don't want my PC to auto update as I work from home and I don't want it to be updating while I'm doing work (the update is taking up resources on the PC), so I could just do a really fast update at 1000M just before playing a game

[tired glade]

Network adapter can be problem on pi2 for cache server

If you fine with it, it's pretty good idea

[wise tundra]

What's the problem with the network adapter?

Pi2B has 1000M ethernet, no?

[tired glade]

Speed

[wise tundra]

Oh wait it's 10/100

I mean my 4G is usually 80Mbit anyways so it's not like I'm loosing speed

Also had meanings before the games even thought of existing

nice. i hate apple and they're too expensive for me to afford. also i prefer repairability and consumer friendly parts over punishing the user for not being rich enough to buy a $400 screen replacement from apple.

[gilded forge]

and actually. Phone Repair Guru on YT confirmed that replacing the screen actually glitches the camera app out when trying to switch to the selfie camera

on iphone 15

[slim yacht]

well now its like 200 dollars but itll shatter a heck of a lot easier for the screen

[low rain]

Newest iPhone is the same price as a s23 ultra “too expensive for me to afford”

If it’s too expensive to repair just get apple care and also maybe try not to break ur phone

[vapid smelt]

and the pixel 7pro is way cheaper at 899

[slim yacht]

also pixel is probably the phone it directly competes with since the camera array are quite similar in setup except for persicope

since everything today advertises on camera so feels bad man

[spice pine]

Pixel 8 pricing is going up apparently

[gilded forge]

also. these are useless.

they're locked

[spice pine]

unlocked full purchase price is the same, no?

[gilded forge]

yeah

my point exactly. why buy a locked phone if the unlocked is the same price

[spice pine]

Usually carrier deals

but if you're not on a higher-tier plan with a carrier, unlocked is probably the way to go

so is android these days and especially if you have android 13+. cant open app folders at all in some cases unless youre counting some mobile emulator

unless you mean carrier

[harsh quartz]

Who the fuck pays full price for a phone tho

[bright silo]

Most people?

[night heron]

🖐️

[bright silo]

Just because it’s not a lump sum it’s still is paid in full for most people. It’s part of ye olde bill.

[graceful burrow]

yummy

[rugged kettle]

Rainbow bagel?

[manic torrent]

I buy phones and pay $30/30 days prepaid. It's way cheaper and if it dies I just.... buy another one.

[harsh quartz]

Got mine for 10$ a month for 36 months, I figured a lot of people did deals like that but ig no, if y’all wanna spend 3-4x ad much on a phone then go ahead :p

[vapid smelt]

i just wait for a sale and buy in full

[wary summit]

[vapid smelt]

nintendo ds browers is better

[lilac bear]

Edge actually pretty good once it switched to Chromium

but yeah initially it was really bad, worse than IE

[sharp cradle]

yes, but firefox solos all

[gleaming harbor]

mini bagel?

[vapid smelt]

normal sized

[manic torrent]

No, you pay $10/month extra over your plan, but your plan is also paying for the phone.

You cannot get a phone for $10/month by itself

[harsh quartz]

No, the plan is paying for data, calls, text, and hotspot with reliable coverage

[manic torrent]

..... I don't think you understand how economics works, my friend.

That $10/mo figure is meaningless without a plan.

[harsh quartz]

I do, but I’m paying the same amount as someone else with that plan, but 10$ more for the phone

[manic torrent]

Yes, and that person is being absolutely fleeced.

[harsh quartz]

Then that’s their problem

[manic torrent]

.... yes, but it means that you are still paying for the phone.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

[harsh quartz]

So either I’m getting the phone cheaper than others or the plan cheaper than others. I see no issue here

[vapid smelt]

idk you get a free meal if your on death row

[manic torrent]

Is it still cheaper than buying it outright? Highly likely.

But .... I'm not buying the latest brand new Apple iPhone whatever, I'm buying the previous gen pixel.

[harsh quartz]

Cool, and that’s your prerogative

[manic torrent]

The issue is it isn't $10/month

I'm not saying it isn't a valid option, I'm saying that pretending it costs $10/month is ignoring a shitload of context.

[harsh quartz]

Aight let me make this a little clearer. I’m going to have this phone plan one way or another, it’s reliable and it’s what I need. Now, along with this plan comes a nice little deal to get the phone I want at 1/3 the price. It’s a good deal.

[manic torrent]

Freedom isn't free there's a hefty fuckin fee.

[manic torrent]

Yes, if you want the latest phone anyway it makes sense, I never said it didn't.

[harsh quartz]

Then why is there an argument

[manic torrent]

And you said other people are spending 3x as.much on a phone.... it's not true.

[harsh quartz]

If the phone is 1200$, and people pay that, me paying ~400$ is 1/3

[manic torrent]

The idea that it only costs you $360 is asinine

[harsh quartz]

Okay if I’m paying for the plan, one way or another, that is a set amount of money that I am spending. If the phone is 360$ added to that then the phone only costs me 360$

[vapid smelt]

what provider

[harsh quartz]

Att

[vapid smelt]

does your plan involve a trade in?

[harsh quartz]

No

[manic torrent]

Yes, when you make all those background assumptions, sure. But if you don't.... you work out that someone is paying for it, and spoiler alert, it's mostly you.

[harsh quartz]

It’s not an assumption it is my factual life that I have been saying this whole fuckin time

[manic torrent]

So you cant ever change phone plans

[harsh quartz]

Again, you seem to be missing the point, this is a phone plan that I am 100% GOING TO HAVE NO MATTER WHAT

[manic torrent]

So the marginal cost to you of an iPhone is $360 over 3 years. That marginal cost is only relevant given your situations. Comparing your marginal cost to others total cost is not helpful

Economics is hard.

[harsh quartz]

No, it is the cost of the hardware, I’m comparing cost of hardware to hardware.

[manic torrent]

.... it absolutely is not.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.att.com/buy/phones/google-pixel-7-pro.html ?

this plan?

[harsh quartz]

Not exactly but close enough, yes

[vapid smelt]

if im reading this right you need to pay over $75 a month for a cellular plan for it to work right?

[harsh quartz]

Yes, a cellular plan that I already am basically required to have because it’s the only cellular provider that’s reliable here

[vapid smelt]

i pay $15 a month for unlimited with mint mobile and companies like mint mobile just rent and use all other carriers towers so i dont see how it would be less reliable

[pure olive]

hi bob and coop

[full fossil]

Bob

[pure olive]

hi _

[full fossil]

Hello cheese

[harsh quartz]

I don’t know, but I do know people that live out here with those providers and they do not get nearly as good service

[manic torrent]

So, 580/36, basically you get a $16/mo rebate

[nova adder]

piggy back providers such as mint, are dependent on location

[harsh quartz]

I know someone who has mint in my class and he always struggles to get his data to work when mine is fine

[nova adder]

I used to live in Chicago, and piggy back networks were useless, now that I am closer to Detroit, they are fine. Definitely not a solution for everyone though

[manic torrent]

Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't do it or whatever, I'm saying you are.not understanding contracts, finance, and economics

[narrow delta]

is a 13th gen i7, a 4060, and 512gb or a 12th gen i9, and 3060, and 1TB better

[pure olive]

1st

[harsh quartz]

I am, I understand that it is paid for by a slight increase in the price to everyone, but overall it is still savings for me and if other people choose to not take advantage of that deal then that is their problem

[manic torrent]

Uhhh a 1tb SSD is $fuckall

[nova adder]

1st 100%

[pure olive]

you can get a really good 1tb ssd for $50

[narrow delta]

it’s a laptop but idk if that changes anything

[pure olive]

or a good one for $30

[harsh quartz]

How much ram in both?

[manic torrent]

Not everyone is in the same circumstances. If I pay $15/mo for mobile and buy it outright, I am better off than you.

[narrow delta]

both have 16

[vapid smelt]

here in the utah valley mint has been perfect

[harsh quartz]

Cool, and I specifically said, for a plan that I am GOING TO HAVE, I specifically took that out of the equation to make it an apples to apples comparison of hardware prices

[manic torrent]

.... and then you compared it to other people.

[harsh quartz]

Bruh I was makin a joke about people spending over 1k on a new phone every time

[manic torrent]

.... about people who are potentially less out of pocket than you.

And don't have to keep it for 3 years

[pure olive]

@vapid smelt are you ryan reynolds

[vapid smelt]

$75 a month plan is $900 a year or $2700 for the 36 month contract to get the "$10" a month phone

[vapid smelt]

no im poor

[harsh quartz]

But I am going to keep it for 3 years either way so that doesn’t matter, and less out of pocket doesn’t matter cause, woopdiefucking doo here we go again, it’s a plan that I’m GOING TO HAVE

God forbid I make a joke about technology being expensive

[manic torrent]

.... while ignoring literally everything about the economics of phones and phone plans.

[harsh quartz]

Bruh it’s a joke no I’m not gonna bust out the fuckin macroeconomics 101 textbook

[manic torrent]

Jokes should be funny

[harsh quartz]

Humor is subjective

[vapid smelt]

i could buy a pixel 7a with a 1 year unlimited plan from mint and it would still cost less then at&ts $900 a year unlimited plan that doesnt include the phone

[manic torrent]

The real joke is on you, basically being forced into buying a new phone because you're being gouged on the plan.

[harsh quartz]

Again, this doesn’t matter because mint doesn’t fuckin work reliably here

Y’all are completely ignoring the reliability issue

[vapid smelt]

its been years since i have reliability issues

[manic torrent]

dude I'm not even in the US

[harsh quartz]

Cool, so you live in my county/city?

[vapid smelt]

city but even when i take a road trip to idaho i get lte and 5g

and that has farm land and long streaches of highway

[harsh quartz]

Cool, I don’t live in Idaho, I live in my hometown, where I have seen first hand how bad mint reliability is here

[harsh quartz]

Again, that’s cool for Idaho, I’m not there

[manic torrent]

North Dakota Ooh yeah you betcha

[full fossil]

guys im benchmarking my 970 evo and i get 1k speeds in magician and 3.5k speeds in crystaldiskmark

any guess why?

[manic torrent]

The moral of the story is that phones have mature to the point where having the latest phone is not a difference in any meaningful way, and that a phone 1-2 (and even 3, depending) generations old is going to be perfectly cromulent for the vast majority of people.

[manic torrent]

because computers are complicated

[vapid smelt]

boost moible has $25 unlmited plans but it has no hotspots

[harsh quartz]

What does this even mean

[full fossil]

yeah but then youre stuck with mint service lol, mint uses other towers owned by bigger companies and your data is slower and is way lower priority so when youre in any area with minor congestion your data is way slower than lets say an at&t customer

you never pay less and get more

yes you get service but its bottom barrel dogwater

[vapid smelt]

but its never so slow i cant watch youtube at my phones native resolution

[manic torrent]

omg I need constant 100mbps internet to my phone AT ALL TIMES

[full fossil]

fair enough

[full fossil]

so which is true

[harsh quartz]

No, it was a petty argument for no reason cause I made a dumb little joke

[manic torrent]

they are both true, but yuou also gave no context as to what actual test you were looking at

[manic torrent]

that belied your lack of understanding of mobile finance

[full fossil]

mint probably wont be a service provider in 5 years though, bigger phone companies will undercut them in some way

[full fossil]

Hmm i cant post screenshots

samsung magician and crystaldiskmark on a 970 evo

magician - 1k speeds and crystal 3.5k speeds on WRITE

the read are 1:1 and good

[manic torrent]

#screenshots

[harsh quartz]

No, I understand it, my point was I don’t give a shit, I got a cheap phone cause I have that plan one way or another

[manic torrent]

you still don't get it.

[vapid smelt]

they got bought by a big company know as t mobile

[pure olive]

hi

[vapid smelt]

hi Nathan

[wispy marsh]

[pure olive]

still not my name

[harsh quartz]

I do get it, thanks for thinking I’m slow though, again, my point is, I don’t give a shit about it

[manic torrent]

my name ... Jeff

[full fossil]

done

[manic torrent]

same thing, functionally

[full fossil]

true, but tmobile has a bad rep already for getting caught using verizons service coverage maps lmao

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it’s not

[pure olive]

https://tenor.com/view/monday-my-name-is-jeff-meme-gif-12138444

[vapid smelt]

its matt

[pure olive]

no

[manic torrent]

"I was only pretending!"

[past egret]

im matt damons evil twin, matt demon

[spice pine]

i’m matt daemon

[past egret]

fuck you matt daemon

[harsh quartz]

Yeah that’s not what I said, I bought product A, and the company says “hey since your already buying product A let us give you product B at a reduced price” and I go “hey I just so happen to need product B” so I happily take the reduced price

[spice pine]

you couldn’t afford to

[harsh quartz]

Can’t, I’m too broke from spending oh so much money on a phone plan

[manic torrent]

Except that you paid full price, but you were rebated a portion of the price, and are contracted for three years. You didn't "pay a reduced price" at all.

[spice pine]

what is this from

[harsh quartz]

So if you pay 15$ and they give you 10$ back did you pay 15 or 5 in the end?

Oh yeah, and I know where those suggestions can go 😉

[spice pine]

oh are people having the phone service debate again

[harsh quartz]

No apparently now it’s “a rebate isn’t a reduced price”

[manic torrent]

this is why I was talking about your marginal cost.

[manic torrent]

.... when it comes with other limitations.

[spice pine]

like so many sites disagree with this lmfao. PCPartPicker shows rebates as reduced pricing

[manic torrent]

a rebate without additional conditions, sure.

[spice pine]

rebates always have additional conditions

[manic torrent]

but a rebate that requires you to spend $75/mo for three years? LOL

[spice pine]

that’s how these companies make money

[harsh quartz]

Additional conditions which I’m already following, so I’m still not out anything extra, so it’s JUST a straight up rebate

[manic torrent]

which is why I said your marginal cost. That is not the value of the phone, nor is it what you "paid".

[spice pine]

these are the same people who swear you’re being scammed if you pay more than like $15 a month for shit prepaid phone plans

[harsh quartz]

It is what I paid for the phone

[spice pine]

tower priority >>>

[harsh quartz]

Coverage and reliability

[manic torrent]

it isn't. It is what you're paying AT&T over your base phone plan. You paid full price for the phone.

[spice pine]

that too

[harsh quartz]

No, I paid a reduced price for the phone because I’m paying full price for the plan, which, btw, idk if you know this or not, I was already doing

[manic torrent]

I assure you, apple got their money.

[nova adder]

this conversation is stuck in a never ending loop

[manic torrent]

you have not beat the system

the system has beat you.

[harsh quartz]

Who the fuck said this?

Now your just makin shit up

[spice pine]

i’m going to continue to enjoy paying for my 5 lines of truly unlimited data, 3 unlimited tablets, 2 watches, and the best internet package available at my address.

[harsh quartz]

I own a pistol 2 shotguns and a rifle

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, I got it for cheaper, not “I beat the system, yeah, fuck you apple”

[spice pine]

most of the bigger phone companies buy phones at fairly close to retail, obviously bulk and industry pricing, but the carriers sell them at reduced cost to people on plans because they still come out at a profit. That’s not “a scam” that’s “a business”

[harsh quartz]

That was a joke my man

[nova adder]

i get the phones, i get the tablets, i get the best internet package available. I will never understand on the watches.

[harsh quartz]

Bruh my att coverage at my house is more reliable than my home internet

[manic torrent]

except the joke is on you, and ... basically all of us, tbh

[spice pine]

just had a recent use case, phone got destroyed in a lake, was able to use the watch to call and have the claim filed on the phone before I got back to my laptop

[harsh quartz]

That seems like a very strange use case Ngl

[manic torrent]

I got a pixel watch recently, It's handy sometimes.

[spice pine]

i pay like $2/mo for the watch lines, niche be damned

[harsh quartz]

If it’s that cheap then fair

[velvet marsh]

467 download on cell, not terrible

[nova adder]

I see very fringe uses for it, when I used to sell stuff like this 10 years ago and my selling point was "go for a run without your phone and still have messaging/phone/spotify/" but realistically most people are not doing that and just like the sound of it

[harsh quartz]

I’m not? I just don’t like being called dumb for going with the best option available to me

[spice pine]

but a lot of people i’ve sold watches to at normal rate ($10-15/mo) use it for running. Leave the phone at home, go running, still able to call / text and emergency situations

[manic torrent]

my watch is bt/wifi, doesn't have phone, because wtf.

I bought the watch outright, was like .. uhhh .. $400 AUD? I think?

[spice pine]

running, forget the phone at home, any time you’re without your phone, you’ve likely got the watch at least

[manic torrent]

problem solved: don't run anywhere

[nova adder]

I think its $10 a month to add a watch to my current plan (Just the plan)(($5 if i also buy a new watch from the cell phone provider)), and that just seems like money I would be giving them to give them

[harsh quartz]

I’m the opposite, I forget my watch but I listen to my phone in the car so I can’t forget it :p

[spice pine]

most normal people touch grass fairly often, hate to shatter the reality for you

[velvet marsh]

Not bad for WiFi

[manic torrent]

I mean, I was literally gardening yesterday

[harsh quartz]

And how exactly do you see this?

[spice pine]

my options are $75/mo for 3Mbps with a 1tb data cap, or $30/mo for 400mbps, no cap

[silent elbow]

That internets fast

[spice pine]

plus i can finance stupid accessories id normally never buy on my phone plan, its great

got a Meta Quest 2 and i paid like $150 out the door for it lmao

[nova adder]

I am about to buy a magsafe charger/stand and I don't even know why

[vapid smelt]

Verizon top unlimited is only $40 $35 less per month then at&t so that $10 a month phone plan from at&t is really $45 making it $1620 for 36months

[spice pine]

I use my 3 in 1 magsafe / watch / airpods charger constantly

[harsh quartz]

I don’t understand wireless charging, makes the phone unusable

[manic torrent]

ah shit that reminds me I need to post my logitech powerplay mat return and order a new one

[nova adder]

That is a similar one to the one I am looking at, I already have one that works, but its not magsafe

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and Verizon doesn’t work out in the boonies, where I live, so again, no thanks

[manic torrent]

.... it does? shit I guess my wireless car charger is useless.

[nova adder]

I need to replace my completely functional and working wireless charger, with a new charger... with magsafe

[spice pine]

Magsafe is super useful because it eliminates the “can’t use phone” bit

[pure olive]

are you guys still arguing about phone carriers

[manic torrent]

no

[harsh quartz]

Aight that’s a fair use case and you can fuck off with the pettiness, I mean when I’m sitting at my desk or in my bed(where I’m usually using my phone) I can’t have it attached to a MagSafe stand and still be using it

[pure olive]

ok its safe then

[harsh quartz]

Are you having a stroke?

[spice pine]

it’s a soft tether rather than a plugin or a “leave alone” wireless charger, plus the magsafe battery pack :3

[vapid smelt]

idk austin are we

[manic torrent]

When I'm sitting at my desk, I pop my phone in the wireless charging spot and it charges... and I don't have cables everywhere.

[harsh quartz]

That’s fair

[pure olive]

nope

[spice pine]

think i’m gonna order my 15 pro max tomorrow, 15 plus should be here fairly soon

[nova adder]

I heard magsafe battery pack is discontinued (maybe a usbc version coming?)

[manic torrent]

I mean, wireless charging doesn't solve all problems forever, but not being able to see the use in it is pretty short sighted.

[spice pine]

no way a USB-C one doesn’t come soon

[harsh quartz]

Or maybe I just don’t have a use case for it, again with the insults

[spice pine]

shit one of my former employees stole my third party magsafe usb-c charger 😭

[nova adder]

wireless charging is goated when it comes to security

[manic torrent]

yes, but you AGAIN, are extrapolating your situation to everything.

[spice pine]

i forgot i gave it to him before he quit

[manic torrent]

oh no! So hard to replace next day on amazon for like 20 bucks!

[harsh quartz]

Aight dude, I said I don’t like it, y’all gave me fair use cases and I agreed that those were useful and I backed off, cause I’m willing to admit I was wrong, so hop off

[spice pine]

doesn’t change the fact he stole it? damn what’s ur problem lmfao

[nova adder]

I cant afford a 20 dollar charger with my phone plan

[spice pine]

it’s still an annoyance to replace

[manic torrent]

lol, that's not really stole. I agree it's annoying though.

Almost certainly just forgot - just like you forgot

[spice pine]

He quite literally stole it? He asked to “borrow” it and then quit with no notice

like, within 24 hours

[velvet marsh]

I'm kinda sad the iPhone 15 Pro isn't any faster charging than the 14

[harsh quartz]

Dude had a mission to take it with him :p

[manic torrent]

I would totally quit my job over a phone charger

mastermind tbh

[past egret]

honestly based

[harsh quartz]

He actually just broke the charger and couldn’t admit it to you

[spice pine]

He just got a new boyfriend and seemed to be going through a manic phase, so who knows

[manic torrent]

theft by conversion is not the same as theft.

[spice pine]

it’s not that fucking deep jfc y’all are more upset about the terminology than i am about my magsafe charger

[harsh quartz]

So long as your not taking it to court you can call it whatever you want to call it

Illegal, civil, theft, forgetfulness, it’s all semantics

[spice pine]

i’m “mildly annoyed” that my charger was not given back to me, despite the pretense that it would. ffs

[manic torrent]

it's the internet, what did you expect? 😄

[manic torrent]

looool. ..... life is semantics.

[harsh quartz]

No, no it’s not

Discord is semantics

[spice pine]

you to not be such a “schrödinger’s asshole” about things lmao

[manic torrent]

nah dude I am an asshole all the time 😄

[harsh quartz]

You missed the entire point of this statement but you call me dumb, cool

[spice pine]

i’m not taking a former employee to small claims court over an item worth - $49.99 MSRP

[nova adder]

They're on sale for $30 right now, you could prob get a lawyer for less

[spice pine]

no lawyers in small claims court

[harsh quartz]

Is English a fluent language of yours? Cause I’m really doubting it

[nova adder]

How are you supposed to get emotional damages in small claims?

[harsh quartz]

Cry in front of the judge

[nova adder]

I'll cry on the judge for a bag

[spice pine]

dude got more “emotionally damaged” from me asking for a sick note than i did him taking my charger lmfao

[harsh quartz]

I used to work with a dude who broke down after I told him I wouldn’t take him to the pawn shop after work, but he was also stealing from the registers like it was nothing

[spice pine]

he took my charger, called in sick the next day, i said “hey that’s fine since you’re going to the doctor, send a copy of your sick note to HR, normally i’d handle it but im out for the next few days due to surgery” and he said “im not jumping through fucking hoops i quit don’t ever text me again”

[harsh quartz]

He definitely broke that charger and didn’t want to admit it

[nova adder]

That dude stole something and was looking for a way out

[spice pine]

why would you steal cheap accessories when you get a discount and make decent commission money?? i don’t get it

[nova adder]

most people are really really dumb

[opal thunder]

Does anyone know how tf to pin a message in your own #1019713714968088586 post??? I can't find it in the context menu...

[harsh quartz]

Mentally unstable people are joys to manage, I’ve had a 70YO lady start crying in my office before

[spice pine]

He wasn’t cut out for retail, he about cried after he accidentally made a mistake during a sale. First mad customer he would’ve quit anyways

Pathological drives scare the shit out of me, whether it’s theft or lying

[nova adder]

I would think stealing for the want or the thrill is more common than necessity

[spice pine]

pathological liars actually scare me more than most people

[manic torrent]

oh, I'm not cut out for retail, god save you all

[solar stratus]

More than cananabilism?

[harsh quartz]

I think I dated one of those before, and yeah, I still regret that

[spice pine]

the disconnect from reality when you call them out with evidence and they double down is just. horrifying

[spice pine]

absolutely, no doubt in my mind

[opal thunder]

ugh

[manic torrent]

everyone is mentally unstable

[opal thunder]

I hate when someone does that

How did that chat go from “all things related” to a discussion about pathological liars

my brother had a gf who was a pathologicla liar. She would lie about shit that had no reason to lie about and didn't matter. It was terrible for her and everybody.

[spice pine]

“the sky had a pokemon from my cereal box!”

[lilac bear]

essentially yes

[spice pine]

I remember newgrounds brainrot too

[harsh quartz]

Or jabooty dubs, that’s probably my favorite

[spice pine]

“Kamikaze Watermelon” pops into my head once a year

[harsh quartz]

“Your gonna slap my nuts”

[manic torrent]

Why don't you go and stand by the stairs

[lilac bear]

oh the pizza here

[spice pine]

oh, or the Pivot Stick Figure craze

[manic torrent]

stair dismount

[spice pine]

Stick Figure animations were huge for a while

[lilac bear]

the old Dream man hunt craze

[spice pine]

that was… not that long ago?

Back in my day “minecraft youtubers” had to try a lot harder

[harsh quartz]

Skydoesminecraft and antvenom

Budder

[spice pine]

Minecraft beta 1.8.2 was wild

[harsh quartz]

Shame they all turned to to be…. Unsavory characters

[lilac bear]

almost two years ago

[lilac bear]

SkyDoesMinecraft is so... god what a man

[spice pine]

i remember the “birth” of minecraft

[harsh quartz]

Only Minecraft YouTuber I still know of that never turned evil was stampylonghead

[spice pine]

we wouldn’t have Post Malone without skydoesminecraft though

[lilac bear]

but didn't Stampy low-key quit because his friend was a pe_o

[harsh quartz]

This would be a good thing

[spice pine]

I dunno, Post Malone seems like a fairly chill guy

[harsh quartz]

Uhhh, idk, but he still makes video, they’re the same as ever and I still watch them

[spice pine]

loved his Nirvana tribute

[lilac bear]

oh he still makes videos, thats good

what about DanTDM? never heard anything bad of him

[harsh quartz]

Post Malone is shia Labeouf but even more fucked up somehow

[harsh quartz]

Damn I forgot about him, I think he just kind of vanished, but yeah I still watch stampy videos for nostalgias sake

[spice pine]

really? idk what he’s done, but i know Shia’s got a lot of abuse accusations

[harsh quartz]

Uhh, idk about that I moreso meant the drugs

[narrow delta]

should i get the corsair voyager a1600 with r7 or zephyrus g16

[spice pine]

oh, that’s just the “rockstar” bit lmao

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but ozzy did it better

Had better music too

[spice pine]

Ozzy was old then, even older now

[harsh quartz]

Ozzy has unlocked the secret elixir of immortality with all those drugs or something

[lilac bear]

just checked his channel and he's kinda click-baity but oh the latest video is such a mood shift

[spice pine]

I know it’s cool to hate on younger artists and stuff but Post Malone actually seems like he gives a shit and has a lot of respect for previous artists

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, same with captainsparklez

[lilac bear]

oh him too, the three mincraft youtubers that didn't commit a crime

[harsh quartz]

Just can’t say I like his stuff

[spice pine]

fair

[harsh quartz]

The holy trinity

[spice pine]

He definitely had the chops to do more folk / indie type stuff too, would’ve been cool to see that

[harsh quartz]

Remember Markiplier before fnaf? Or seananners and sark?

[spice pine]

I don’t think I ever got into gaming youtubers

[harsh quartz]

I enjoyed growing up in the golden age of gaming YouTube, rooster teeth and seananners everywhere

[spice pine]

i think i tried to watch pewdiepie when he went through an attempt at a “redemption arc” and then did… that thing he does, again but it was never gaming stuff

[harsh quartz]

Never grew accustomed to him, or jacksepticeye, they had very similar energies and I didn’t vibe

[lilac bear]

PewDiePie n word incident

[harsh quartz]

I saw someone playing payday 3 and there’s a very similar looking bridge and I just said pewdiepie on it and everyone stopped to stare at me :p

[spice pine]

plus there was the “i’m going to donate a bunch of money to the ADL” “SIKE” thing that happened. After that i just lost all interest

[harsh quartz]

?

[keen cedar]

Tf is adl

[harsh quartz]

Asl ice bucket thing?

[keen cedar]

Why would you donate money to alder lake

[spice pine]

anti defamation league

[lilac bear]

rofl

[harsh quartz]

Huh, never heard about that one.

[spice pine]

they do some good stuff, big charity

[keen cedar]

I defame everything, I would be banned from the league

[harsh quartz]

Good, it’s a horrible game

[spice pine]

you should look up what they stand for

might not be a good thing to get banned from them lmao

[harsh quartz]

I would assume… anti defamation mostly?

[spice pine]

for a certain religious and racial demographic, in particular

[keen cedar]

I can both agree and disagree with their causes

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, that’s probably why I never heard about them, I try to stay out of politikals

[spice pine]

I’m trying my best to not get political with it here lmao

just some people trying to do some good things

[harsh quartz]

Kek, I assume it would be similar to mentioning westboro Baptist church?

Oh wait nope I had that backwards

I googled it :p

[lilac bear]

markiplier kinda interesting with his FNAF phase since he has had such a huge influence on the game
but with FNAF SB, it's kinda clear it's such a dragged out game it's kinda stale

[spice pine]

you could only do so much with the FNAF format before it got stale

[keen cedar]

Yeah I disagree with that shit

[spice pine]

Let’s maybe drop that subject

[harsh quartz]

Fnaf was funny when markiplier made his first videos in it, but then he just kept milking it and so did all of YouTube :p

[spice pine]

god, remember Slenderman?

[keen cedar]

Skibidi toilet best

[harsh quartz]

But before that when he did gmod videos with sark and Tom and wade, he was pretty fuckin funny

[keen cedar]

I grew up with dantdm Minecraft and kwebblekob gta vids

[harsh quartz]

Remeber when the two girls did that thing and everyone started freaking out about video gaems cauz violence

[spice pine]

none of that means anything to me

[lilac bear]

oh god yeah
I'm surprised how hard that IP died

even the movie was a 1/5

[harsh quartz]

No it died for a good reason, if you don’t know about it then you should google

[spice pine]

sony tried to bring it back with that godawful movie years after the fact

I think the incident was a bit of a wake up call for a lot of parents letting children run around unsupervised on the internet

[harsh quartz]

Good ole creepy pastas, which is now just rebranded as SCPs

[tepid jasper]

wait, movie?

[lilac bear]

is that real? or is it a rumor like the Flappy Bird thing

[spice pine]

very real

[harsh quartz]

No it was real

[lilac bear]

oh shit

[spice pine]

years after the fact

[harsh quartz]

That’s why the brand died so hard, NO ONE wanted to be associated with that

[tepid jasper]

what i legit never heard about it

[harsh quartz]

Except Sony, apparently

[lilac bear]

the true FNAF

[spice pine]

like, 2018 when Slenderman was big in 2014ish

[harsh quartz]

No way it was as late as 2014

[lilac bear]

thats when the death happened

[spice pine]

god DAMN i’m getting old

[tepid jasper]

all i remember was the girl being dragged into the forest by two other girls and being introduced to british culture

to sacrifice her to slenderman

[spice pine]

i was like “eh five or six years ago” and. no. it was like 13 years ago.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but the culture thing was back in like 2011

[past egret]

those drawings are so bad who drew them

dont let slenderman cook ever

[harsh quartz]

I think I was still in elementary or middle school so it feels a lot longer than that to me Ngl

[spice pine]

I was in middle school, early high school?

[tepid jasper]

they yknow what her 19 times but she crawled to help and LIVED????

[spice pine]

i graduated high school in 2016 so yeah

[tepid jasper]

holy the victim is a beast

[harsh quartz]

I graduated 2019 so whatever the math is on that, idk

[spice pine]

kids are resilient as shit

[harsh quartz]

Fuckin punt em across the yard and they just think it’s fun

[spice pine]

like. it’s insane what a kid can survive

[harsh quartz]

Like dropping a rat from the Empire State Building

(I know this from personal experience)

[elfin jetty]

[spice pine]

I remember being exposed to so much unfiltered content on the internet

it has undoubtedly ruined parts of my brain permanently

[lilac bear]

don't tell William Afton

[manic torrent]

You could literally put "OLD MEMES OF EXPLICIT STUFF" in a website and I would scroll past, I'm that desensitised

I remember back in the day making a wireless AP that would proxy everything and insert a certain meme into all images

[harsh quartz]

Jar

[tepid jasper]

[manic torrent]

and people who were crosslinking images got served a certain meme =O=

[lilac bear]

furries might remember the raccoon and cheese grater

[past egret]

fuck off

[harsh quartz]

The what now?

[tepid jasper]

i only remember the dumpster

[harsh quartz]

Tread lightly here when discussing cursed things

[tepid jasper]

not one of those people tho so thats why ig

[spice pine]

i hate that 3 characters can paint an entire image

[harsh quartz]

Grapefruit

[lilac bear]

you not part of the OG furries

[harsh quartz]

No, I’m not part of any furries, thankfully

I mean, hazbin hotel was funny but it would take more than that

[past egret]

the what is funny?

[spice pine]

just imagine the worst possible outcome of an anthropomorphic raccoon and a cheese grater. it’s somehow worse

[past egret]

its literally furries' family guy

[tepid jasper]

noping out of this conversation before everyone here gets sent to Brazil

[harsh quartz]

You fool, your already in Brazil

[tepid jasper]

im surprised only the singular of that word is banned but not plural

[lilac bear]

literally

[tepid jasper]

tbh

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it’s funny

[spice pine]

the real brazil was the friends we made along the way

[harsh quartz]

The real Brazil was the w… nope

[lilac bear]

they also banned g@y, soooo

[spice pine]

they banned me 😭

[harsh quartz]

Karma (for legal purposes this is a joke)

[tepid jasper]

👍

[spice pine]

newgrounds was bangin’ though, unlimited free browser games of incredibly varying quality

Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe

[harsh quartz]

I remember other flash games sites but I can’t think of their names

[spice pine]

aww what was the one with Stick Arena and StickRPG

[harsh quartz]

Addicting game, I googled flash games and it came up

Addictinggames was the one I played all the time

[spice pine]

XGen Studios

Bowman 2

[lilac bear]

SoftGames82

[harsh quartz]

Remember the impossible quiz?

[spice pine]

and every variation of “impossible” everything

god

[harsh quartz]

What was the annoying game that was like a maze

[spice pine]

pretty sure it was the impossible game

[narrow delta]

the zephyrs g16 $150 dealer goes off in 30 minutes or should i get a different one

[spice pine]

moving parts galore

[harsh quartz]

Multiple games called the impossible game but I think that was one of them

[spice pine]

there was also the Impossible Game that became Geometry Dash

[harsh quartz]

No it’s called the worlds hardest game

[spice pine]

i still think i have that on my Xbox 360

Was it?

Damn

[harsh quartz]

It was probably called multiple things on different websites but it looks like the official name is “worlds hardest game”

The dark souls of flash games

[spice pine]

Portal: the Flash Version

[harsh quartz]

Learn 2 fly

[wary summit]

good game

[past egret]

classic minecraft

[manic torrent]

QWOP

[lilac bear]

fancy pants

[fierce moth]

Damn

[past egret]

huh truman wears a rolex

didnt know that

[lilac bear]

wow

Blumhouse not only making the 2023 FNAF movie
but also made a 2019 movie, Mercy Black, based on the Slenderman Stabbing

[past egret]

and howd that go

[lilac bear]

I was wrong, it is a full on movie, not a docu

and it got about 50% positive ratings

[past egret]

lol, lmao even

i think fnaf will at least be 60% , and 70% audience

[lilac bear]

yeah am hoping it'll be like 70%

reading reviews, it looks like if you are somewhat critical of what you are watching then Black Mercy is pretty meh, but somehow still better than Sony's take

Blumhouse 1 Sony 0

[harsh quartz]

As far as ratings go you have to think about whos reviewing the movie, which will only be people interested in that thing, and I feel like FNAF fans will rate the movie 100% no matter what just cause it’s fnaf

[lilac bear]

yeah but mostly just hopes it'll be just a good movie overall

Scott did put work into it

[harsh quartz]

I hope it’s the end of it, the brand has gone on too long

[past egret]

isnt that the whole point

scott isnt going back making bible stories for kids

even his son is writing books

[lilac bear]

nah Scott is passing it on

[past egret]

?

[lilac bear]

I thought thats what he was doing, retiring and letting the IP go on through Steel Wool Studios

[past egret]

pretty sure scott still writes a fair bit and controls most of what goes into fnaf

even if the games are made by steel wool

[tired glade]

He is not working directly with fnaf anymore
