I have my window like a little bit open just to listen to the rain
watch out for rocks
Why not windows up?
watch out slenderman may get you
Wdym?
I have one of those things that stop flies from getting through so that should stop rocks and I’m on the second story
Oh, old windows
I’ve never been to a house where the windows go up
sorry i meant watch out for slingshots
That's standard for like 50 years already
Yeah these windows were put in like two months ago
Someone cheap out
My dad had to drive like 4 hours each way just to pick them up with our contractor 😭
is it? i think its only an american thing
or suburbs thing
US don't want adaptation of 3 layered window?
That's minum requirement to make house isolated and energy efficient
For me it’s two layered minimum for where I live cause I’m like near an airport
its obviously location dependent from what youre saying
3 layer under window, not 2 layers glass panels
what applies to you doesnt apply to every building
If China adapter it, it's more culture thing
In my area you need two-tone windows
Can you even get 1 anymore?
Like, who will even want that useless thing for outside windows?
They rnt baddd but like me personally I would not be able to deal with 1-tone windows
im not in china.
In most developed countries you won't pass inspection with less, some countries starting demands at least 5 layers
i was talking about windows that go up instead of down but you are talking abut window layers instead
Those are same thing
right.
I feel like lava lamps make every room look so much better
you should drink it
Looks delicious
It’s hot
Haha
I wanna join a country club cause there is one literally right next to my house and my friends grandma is apart of the board of directors there
What's country club?
How about a room with 100 lava lamps?
https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/
That's a whole biome
I heard about this
They look at lava lamps for randomness
I know someone with a big name did a video on that at one point
but enjoying LTT videos again, since the GN drama did drive me away
Need more entropy!
yea my windows are like that too. Only window the house that opens up is one in a bathroom and the laundry room
Isn't it veritasium?
other windows open sideways so it makes it hard to have a window ac
. Stuck with that portable ones though I might be getting a dual hose one
vs the single hose one I have atm
Install windows 10
why not 8.1
I don't like having 1/10 of a window

Sucks
defend your argument
where the swords and shields then
Damn this message makes me want to know the context but its probably not that entertaining
someone was probably whining about something
My laptop runs worse >:(
win 11 has beter thread scheduler
Windows 11 is the ME of modern windows versions
98, xp, 7, 10. It’s like every other version is shit
95 was eh
Me, vista, 8, and 11 are Garbo like greta
dude has nothing to say to defend his argument
there is nothing to suggest win11 being worse than win10 people are just not able to deal with change and their subjective opinions of design as objective metrics
nothing wrong with 11 nor me
just like vista was fixed after first service pack
but no one cared
you are saying it is shit but not a single argument supporting why
ever since i switched from 10 to 11 i am much happier with windows experience
best argument people have is "because it sucks" or "it looks ugly"
remember looks are subjective not objective
Also,12 can be heavily ai driven,so requirement will grow anyway, so 11 fully skiable
this is manipulated material fyi
lol, bad takes with transit biker
my opinion is that xp, 7, and 10 were pretty good.
🙏
why does everyone hate on 11 exactly
Idk.
Stinky
because it is meme
people are not able to think with their heads
They promised no more new versions of windows
It's fine once i changed the taskbar to look like previous versions.
wtf are you talking about
No they didn't.
Instead they gave us more bloatware
software upgrades this is normal
They did
you need to change engines too
there is less bloat in 11 than 10
both are bloaty and you can uninstall it
have you even used 11
No, one guy that was an employee and had no decision power said it MIGHT be the last version.
it was complete delusion
dude hears waht he wants to hear
this was a conversational segue by a developer
not a microsoft statement lmfao
Why would Microsoft stop one of their money printers?
exactly
lol
because people read one rumor and make it a headline
Me when I spread misinformation on the internet. 😈
iOS 7 waterproof feature was based. /s
Windows has had “bloatware” built in since like. 98. It’s not “new” or any worse than it ever has been, and plenty of people use it, otherwise they wouldn’t include it
even some linux distros have bloat look at ubuntu
what matters is can you remove and control it
Guys do uk if u turn ur pc upside down and and kick it it works better
There are even ways to remove it.
always
Plus, the bloatware argument can just as easily be applied to windows 10 as well
Source I made it the fuck up
xd
xd
Windows 11 is just a windows 10 reskin with extra garbage no one asked for. Made my laptop run worse somehow
what did win11 ever do to you
didn’t windows 10 come with candy crush pre-installed for Home editions
trauma by win11
what is bad about it
oh look at that an anecdotal experience taken to be universal fact
give me a single example of what it does wrong if you use it
you need to have neutral expectations
people always treat their subjective opinions as objectivity
holy shit your username is based
how do people snipe these funny names
i always cared about authentic names or with meaning rather than funny but i do admire them
womanpiss was my first go but i thought this would be more accurate to who i am
never been able to play rpg with funny character
Because mega nerd
this turned into apple vs android feud
Erm imma say somethin real smort 🤓
Massive L I always try to look like a serial killer whenever there is chara customizer
You gonna try to keep backing up your argument or do you want to admit that you’ve lost and try to save face here?
"orange is better" and "no blue is way better"
the zodiac killer
This isn't a duel 
i was never able to play female characters
My Starfield character looks like homeless Mark Hamil
i was never able to play a character that was not authentic to me
Nope, it was “an argument” and you lost. And instead of just saying that, you resorted to childish insults. 🤷♀️
touch grass loser
No I'm just not taking this seriously


each time i enter public chat there is an argument

"no you"
why is that so accurate
I really would like to go Mac for the M2 / M3 because I'm planning to go off grid and the energy efficiency would be really helpful, but it's the diffucalty of gaming on Mac that put me off. Well that and as I said yesterday the lack of ablity to add storage yourself and the ridiculous prices for reasonable amount of storage, but I could stomach the cost of that and just have an external storage solution. It's the difficulty with gaming, and it's not like a game super often nowerdays, but that makes it so that I am even less willing to faff around when I want to game.
best defense mechanism with sprinkles of mocking
seems to be a correlating issue with you hmm.
its always stupid arguments too
its definitely not you
Gaming is going to get a lot better with the new Metal translation APIs
I’ve seen a few games recently go through and add MacOS support
anyone here ever used g2a?
I have no trust that the vast majority will make the extra effort even if it is relatively small.
stay very clear. sketchy site.
Baldur’s Gate 3 did
Yeah
I bought a game from it a bit ago for 16 bucks and actually got it
G2A has a lot of sketchy practices and it’s a grey market
Happens sometime
for $20 less
it’s a very popular new game
Yeah, that's why I removed my message since discussion of grey market shit is not allowed on this server iirc.
Usually it's instant
Yes? It’s got one of the highest metacritic scores ever
Might have just been piracy but i dont want to reread the rules rn.
How is it piracy if it works through steam keys?
No, rule 9
They allow broad discussions about piracy but not how to pirate ect
No i meant the rule might just be about piracy i dont care to check if it includes grey market shit.
but especially doesn't allow links to gray-market sites (sites that sell keys unofficially, etc.) **
LINKS**
generally speaking, it’s best not to bring more attention to grey market sites, considering most of those keys are stolen
Yeah
if you need a copy of a game it’s whatever but I’m always going to recommend buying a game directly and supporting the devs over gray market shenanigans where that money goes into sketchy pockets
I mean i've bought 210 games from steam market already i just wanted to testt outt g2a
In all honesty, if a game isn’t available for sale anywhere else… Yarr, matey. Not like the devs are seeing that money anyways.
Fr, if someone here is desperate to game, get Titanfall 2 while it is still on sale for 3$.
Im getting it on g2a for $2 now 😎
It goes on and of sale regularly.
:/
also playerbase is big rn since a recent update basically fixed a bunch of problems
Rivals was goofy
i loved the physics, if you crashed a certain way your car would go flying for way longer than it should’ve
if it had a little more of a story, it would’ve been perfect
the only morally right reason to use grey area websites are to buy EA games
there are no morally right reasons to use grey markets

fr
i need that extra dollar man
that money is not going to a publisher and you’re not supporting anyone who made the game
Yeah but they get the keys from tthe publisher. so they bought the keys from the publisher and redistributed it to the market for cheaper.
Usually bought with stolen card information in third world markets
there is no moral or ethical reason to purchase games off of grey market site. you do you, but it’s stupid and throwing money at keys that can be revoked at any time.
i only got one game from there and only will again for under $30 games
I had like 5 grey market keys revoked because they were bought with stolen card info. $60 down the drain, no recourse.
Still makes no sense why you would throw money away like that
Star Wars makes no sense. How old was Luke in Episode 4?
who cares it’s a sci-fi movie
“suspension of disbelief”
no but i can talk to women, so there’s very clearly a skill gap here.
Wasn't Luke in his late teens?
You talk to women? Good for you. I talk to my fiance.
and you’re caring this much about a sci-fi characters age in their first appearance?
what’s her number. i can fix her.
Because I'm trying to figure out how Obi-Wan aged so much between Episode 3 and 4.

You try, and you'll end up needing to be fixed LMAO.
he’s apparently around 19, and obi wan was 35 at the end of revenge of the sith. 19 years of living as a desert camper would certainly do that to you.
or, you know, canon changed a bit, not like there’s 30 some odd years between those movies or anything.
True too.
Hi, which laptop would you recommend for under 1300$. I dont need it for gaming but for like word, excel, different CAD softwares, editing, rendering... Thanks in advance.

I started my beautiful one hour loadshedding with my phone at 48% (It was charging, I forgot to charge it earlier)
least obvious LaidbackDev bait 
Poor Optimus
just say no, kids
i love how i specifically went in and muted all the things that make the notification red blip show up and here we are ... red blips
discord, i dont want the blips
why you no workie
So you specifically don’t want us to ping you?
I have disabled Discord notifications on my phone/tablet
In fact, I've probably disabled notifications from almost all apps on my phone
I'm the same way
this is discord side not app side
like everyhting should be muted
also theres no way to get to those settings in the app
i dont mind the popups on my phone's lock screen, but i dont wanna have to constantly hunt arouund for the ping
I’ve got everything other than pings, PMs and like 2 servers with friends I’m in muted
ping
we need another linus beat saber strim soon
you can turn off @mention for servers

I might play buggy PTSD simulator
ah Gaijin attempt at a good Battlefield
Nah the OG buggy ptsd simulator is rising storm 2 vietnam
I got that too, but I got genuinely tired fighting in a jungle
Games like that are my relaxation games
Enlisted has urban fights, open beach fights, snowy fights and jungle
Is this game from wargaming?
Darkflow Software develops it, Gaijin Entertainment publishes it
So the makers of War Thunder, Crossout and shit
That launcher is looks very similar to any wargaming launcher
Good movie better book
Probably because it's pretty generic ngl
I don't even remember the last movie I watched
The last movie I watched was the DBS Broly movie
It’s not but okay
Oh my b I thought you were talking about the movie, yeah that launcher is super fuckin cookie cutter
I was never talking to you, idk how you came to that conclusion
Got a few stuff by now, when I first started Battle of Berlin was a premium account thing
Cause it came after the message I sent in the chat, it was a confusion on my part, like I said already, no need to get aggro about it
I also have no idea how people always assume that someone immediately gets angry
Terse/blunt doesn't equal angry idk
Didn’t say angry, said aggro

I was watching nilered
Whatever, man
And I'm scared to what he can make
He's fun
Goated channel
Nile green is also fun and “I did a thing” has the same energy but with engineering instead of chemistry
Next up, I made a nuclear bomb in my parents garage
So what exactly is the difference
(In this context, there's none)
'I built a nuclear bomb in my basement' Nilered in 2042
The connotation what you said is that it’s 100% my fault and I should feel bad for the misunderstand, which I had already said it was a simple mistake on my part
Damn, you're absolutely overthinking shit in life
No wonder you get into fights all the time
I said it was my fault and you kept goin, not sure how that’s on me but cool
mother, father, please stop fighting

lol nile turning anything into a drinkable substance.
Or a bomb
And then there’s “I did a thing” who decided that a ceiling fan made of machetes was a good idea for a blender
There was

What's are those?
Wait for new Samsung phone
It still new gen again last gen right now
And 15 doesn't look good
Gen3 can be with s24 or how they will call it
Same core design
Samsung software is relatively good imo
Pixel will stay for now
Samsung has that 10x periscope lens
You really need to put them side by side to really see the difference
If you need zoom, Samsung win by long shoot
S23 already fix that
15 zoom better than 14, but no close to s23
10x zoom photo from my s22u
S23 has problems with overheating
I don't play games on my phone lol
No, Samsung overclouded their gen2
They boost clocks on everything
Fold doesn't overhead
Yes
But it getting hot and downclock below normal one
I'm still kinda on the edge with the folds
Still kinda gimmicky but it's getting way better
i really want fold but
not just that they're pricy, durability is questionable
my dad has a z flip 4 that needed to be sent to samsung twice
first because it shuts down for no reason when it's closed
second because the hinge is stuck
probably what i should do, but i don't think they know i have access to my account on personal devices
Get the s22 ultra if you live in the US
If you are in Europe then there are better alternatives maybe
Has anyone used this before: https://amzn.eu/d/dMEiBOV
I am not clicking that
They get dirt cheap after a new ones come out
I would love a feedback or a recommendation for a similiar price range
amazn 💀💀💀
looks like the average 60% mechanical keyboard, probably good enough if it's cheap. idk how prices compare
Yeah like I bought a lightly used s22 ultra and it's 560€ for a last year's phone.
not really anything over my S20FE
i only use my phone for whatsapp discord and youtube
Fair
I moved from a really really budget phone so it was a fair price
For a flagship
I got my s22u brand new last year as a 17th birthday present
You know you're a Millennial boomer when you use "lol" instead of "ijbol"
lol
Wtf is a ijbol
Oh no
is that goofball samsung shill back in the chat, what did i miss
"I just burst old laughing" because "lol" is apparently old people speak
Those old people who hate tiktok
what are you on about
And prefer desktop websites to apps
touch grass
What are you on about
I am grass
I am bread
Bread from the bread store
Why are you malding so badly
who is malding
Who hurt you
i said "goofball" in what way shape or form does that imply malding lmfao
Nah you just toxic
probably the usage of shill instead of fanboi or whatever
🤷♀️
im just referring to the dude who comes in here near-exclusively to post "apple bad" posts
Everyone knows Motorola has the most user focused devices anyway
And what exactly wrong with that?
You shill apple? But I don't call you goofy
I'll shill whatever the customer wants me to shill
Apple 🤢
I sell phones, I don't pick sides 
You clearly do
I'd rather have a budget china android phone instead of an iPager
Oh, i'm so sorry, you clearly know more about me than I do.

weirdo behaviour
(in Minecraft)
you are in discord
Doesn't mean people can't be decent human beings :)
slaps @vast mica with a large trout
yeah but both can be true
i am in fact, using discord
or are you
That's a sentence of all time.
It's an IRC thing
It's weird is what it is.
IRC was weirder than Discord is nowadays in a couple aspects
IRC is basically decentralized discord before AIM/MSN/Skype was cool
IRC had more anonymity, scary stuff could happen lmao
As yes I remember my old Skype and AIM accounts 
IRC is very much still around
Yeah, but it goes without saying it's nowhere near where it was
Yeah I'm down from like 26 servers to 6
Freenode going to shit was a big blow to my channel count
I've never actually managed to hold a real conversation through it. Everything seems dead.
Why do people have bread?
🍞
During the controversy people got tired of talking about it and tried to drown out conversation of the controversy with nonsense facts about bread
The staff played along
hmmm no
we posted bread to disrupt the neverending cycle of new people talking about the same thing over & over for legit 3 days solid
aol also had some kinda group integration, i forget the exact name
basically killed it off in the process
I was in pilot VC when this happened. So what happened was that all the drama was so overwhelming that it originally started off with talking about milk (at least from what I vaguely recall)..... then it went to bread and we were all posting bread shit posts and even the LMG staff played along which was fun. In VC we were going all ham on the bread memes 
when they ended the integration
🍞
So the bread is here to stay?
Put the bread in the chat and no one gets any drama
🍞
if people had something interesting to talk about? It usually got discussed.
but if it was the same nonsense tribalism (from either side) we shut it the fuck up again.
To be clear, when I reread that message it has a negative connotation to it, but it was an attempt at a neutral description of it
lol proud to be there in it's inception 
soggy bread
bread and water instead of cereal with milk
fuck yeah
👋
can relate
Linus can too
if market cap could only translate into quality & innovation in this instance... also aapl, also msft
tamagotchi, my beloved
One of my keyboards
That’s pretty
dont show plouffe
it's also a 20-ish buck keycap set on amazon. Dirt cheap.
lol plouffe I think already had a reaction to one of the keycap sets I owm
or at least some lmg employees
now im curious
the beige and brown would have fit if the case was a similar color but frosted black was it for some time
and then I changed keycaps at least 4 times so right now on a set I am happy with that actually match the color way
numpad underrated
external numpad. Rarely use it though so I just shelved it
never really used the numpad
The knob on the other hand that I use way more then usual but for volume and music
i have honestly never seen a keyboard that wasnt full sized that i would buy for myself, though i do like looking at the other form factors
which makes it fun cause I have to move my FN key from the bottom to the F rows
buh. trying to quickly and simply clear a huge area in minecraft and theres some commands but they legit don't work properly
has someone pinged everyone where
dont believe so
weird i got a ghost ping
those are not earth tones!...
browns and blues are earth tones
not my earth tones anyway
The chat for all things
related is back to earth tones
back to?
do you guys know those spray they give you for a new pair of glasses and they say use the spray to clean your glasses?
I'm wondering if it's good for cleaning monitor too
no
dry clean microfiber cloth
that cleaner is formulated to strip everything off the glass
with a lcd you do not want that
you definitely dont want it with an oled
ok!
no
eye glasses cleaner isn't that strong
eye glasses also have coatings on them you don't wanna strip
with phone screens you can use alcohol if you wipe it off quickly to strip the oils from your skin left on the device, but it can strip off other manufactured coatings, and it can react with some plastics
❤️
i use a dedicated lens cloth to clean my phone out of its case because its metal and glass, but the case gets soap & water because plastic
some years ago my parents paid for a cleaning service while we were all too busy etc for like 3 visits & on the last visit they went into my room and wiped the coatings off my apple studio crt and diamondtron displays... they're basically ruined because theres no way to replace the coatings properly & the diamondtron especially has static buildup on the screen surface now
they did dust my desk without breaking anything else tho whoch i was kinda amazed at so not a total loss x-x
Hello friends
I'm trying to buy a laptop for a friend who is a network engineer but I came across the sad reality that almost all laptops no longer have a built-in network port. I was thinking about a Lenovo Thinkpad but the same problem happens. I'm not looking for something that is very powerful just something that works well.
the RJ45?
Current set
dongle
I thought about it but he tells me that he already had the problem and that he always ends up losing it or sometimes he has to waste time looking for it when he is in the middle of a failure.
tape it to the top of the laptop
It is not that simple because its task is to visit network nodes and on other occasions I have problems with the drivers
just install english windows 11/change the language or whatever
plenty of options out there that have onboard NIC
not as many as youd think
🙂
many oems are ditching the rj45
For network engineering, it is best to always look for laptops with an Intel processor and a Windows system since there are many tools that are not supported.

elitbooks my beloved.
Work for them?
um no im disabled
anyways, seems like they got what you need, many options
this one has a bunch of features a networking person might want https://discountelectronics.com/latitude-5491-core-i7-8850h-16gb-ram-14-ultrabook/
ThinkPad P16s and P14s has fullsize Ethernet port. 
I think I have some of the thinkpads in stock
ThinkPads, my beloved
Warship didn't snipe that, i'm genuinely amazed
breh
lol you got thinkpads I have a bunch of decomissioned hp elitebooks on my shelf.
i had to think a minute about how to phrase it
Send me a list - I can buy them
mostly I donate them since I can't resell them as they technically still belong to the company just falsely marked as recycle
I do a lot of things under the table at my mom work with some of the managers
I can data erase and what not as I am an ITAD
I have some use in mind for some of them so left overs are just either kept for spare parts
just don't let them hit the landfill 🙂
most are just spare parts I just tear apart and keep.
i used to capture old hardware from schools and sell them/give them away to interested parties. was a fun few years.
so. much. beige. plastic.
never lol I get access to the pile of decomission stuff at one of the sites she manages before a company comes and picks them up ha
how I ended up with some dell servers and bunch of old enterprise shit still usable
That company is probably my competition haha.
I just have to tell the one of the IT people what I grabbed so they can mark it off the list
its fun having access to that stuff. I have so much stuff at my house now its kind of unsettling.

do you need a 13th gen machine?
you can pickup an 8th gen for a couple hundred vs. $1500 13th gen
got some 8th gen myself too lol
I understand but it is a laptop to use as a main computer so it doesn't hurt and it is within the budget
the dell i linked earlier is $399 8th gen
i dont see RJ45 port featured on that one @quiet inlet
you seem to know what you want and the needs you need covered. I say you buy it. yolo
]oh its on the left by the hinge
I concur
for the price i'd like to see a bit more storage but its a thinkpad and will outlast all of us :p
my mom has an 8th gen lenovo lappy she gave to me to configure and hand back to her. needs new battery
hp elitebook 840 g5, i use it and its got tons of upgradability and an ethernet port as you wish
and cheap too
theres 2 batteries and i think im gonna surprise her and get the larger capacity one if its available
mine was £170-£200 i forgot
what is that in freedom bucks?
I understand but it is because of the resistance of the laptop as they are field work, thinkpad has the reputation of being more resistant
Played some F1 23 this evening, plugged my kids cheapo steering wheel set into the pc. Turns out that for racing games, even a cheap steering wheel is better than an expensive regular controller
Can any of you recommend a Razer mouse to me? I had the Mamba, but I was thinking about buying the Viper
why razer
El mouse que tenía era Razer y funcionó bien para mí, así que quería seguir con el viejo y confiable.
????/
The mouse I had was Razer and it worked well for me so I wanted to stick with the old and reliable one.
What recommendations from another brand?
if your old one works for you IMO keep that and save ur money
About $150 the Razer I have was damaged and only works wired
Normally I don't play much on my laptop but I do need it to have enough DPI because I use multiple monitors
do you use mouse acceleration?
for multimonitor it may actually come into handy for you
Full HD 8K 144FPS
Not a fan of the new Apple TV interface
The app icons are smaller and much further apart, and the way I had them organised, doesn’t work anymore
New Safari layout also pretty stupid.
They should change it back to how it was
At least the new voice to text actually works unlike in iOS 16.
im playing on low and i dont even hit 60fps outside 🙏
bethesda games are notoriously garbage at launch
unfortunately most of them fail to overcome being garbage
damn, now im just waiting so i can afford cyberpunk and the new dlc 🙏
Bethesda.
It's ironic, because CP2077 was the game nobody could run, but if the latest DF video is anything to go off of, it's absurdly well optimized now, and the DLC should be amazing, so who knows what is happening anymore.
what does DF mean
digitalfoundry i'd assume
i see
but wait
i fell in love with cyberpunk after watching edgerunners
Oh my gosh it's the iluminati
also has anyone here used GOG games before? if so, do you recommend it for buying games
I recommend it for pirtaing getting games legally
Love the galaxy client and the customer support seems to be pretty good
okok, i saw in the launcher that i can add my other libraries to it, like steam and epic, i tried it but it doesnt work
Yeah the built in code doesn't work for steam. You need to replace it with community code. Should be searchable if you search for broken steam integration gog galaxy or something like that. I don't have the direct link to it atm
Use it if it satisfies your particular needs. I would advise that almost everybody use Steam, simply because they'll have the least issues with it, but if you're after the specific "bonuses" that GOG offers, use it.
steam has a monopoly and its the only one which I dont particularly mind
ill just stick to steam then
Monopoly is never good and this mindset is pretty bad
Hard disagree
steam is great
I've made many fun times playing Monopoly
And Netflix was also great.
And many things that make Steam great only came after judicial pressure from the EU and Australia
Netflix is great
Everyone else ruined it
It was the opposite of a monopoly that made Netflix worse
No
No
Netflix was great
Netflix would've done the same shit either way
then everyone realized there's no point paying Netflix a royalty for using their own platform
then we have a million different platforms each with their exclusives
and who wins? illegal streaming websites because many people CBA to pay 3 different subscriptions
lul
how did other companies make netflix worse
they did it to themselves
Yes but also everyone pulling their content and putting it on the own platform.
i used to like practicality of netflix but there was nothing to watch on it
good competition
in eu there is nothing on netflix
other than some european shows and netflix original stuff
like no movies at all
back to piracy
Yeah not to mention licensing
Like I as a user just want to watch X show at a reasonable price.
i would gladly pay for netflix as i did
if there was anything to watch
most of the stuff are on hbo or prime
prices go up and variety goes down
or selection
but yes multiple streaming services redistribute shows and movies which sucks
I suppose a monopoly is okay because piracy is always an answer.
i feel no guilt when pirating
been doing it since i was in first grade
without it i would have no access to any movie
They don't even pay writers anyway
spotify steals more money from artists legal way than piracy does
let that sink in
you could argue ublocker and adblocker steal money from commercials
russia legalized piracy right
after they banned so many streaming services for them
i am not condoning piracy
I am
just saying it is not illegal what people think you can get sued in civil trial
well, piracy of textbooks anyways
if it's legal then it's not called piracy 😄
this is the point
xd
haha
piracy and copyrights are mostly to protect things on paper and for licensing in companies
no one really cares for individuals pirating media
even bill gates said he does not care whether or not people pirate windows even by numbers he earns more by that
unreal engine is smart
they only charge whether or not you are using their engine to earn money from a created project
see
bill gates is smart
microsoft wont go bankrupt if i dont pay £120
but a company not paying £10,000+ for all their machines is a decently large number
💀
bill gates a real one fr
ah yes thermostat company, please only allow control via first party app that requires an account that requires an email and name and personal home address to create.
Windows wants market share, which is why you can still use windows 7 OEM keys while installing windows (can't activate inside windows, but yes on installation which is the quirk with OEM keys)
nvm
And other forms of "piracy"
my brain found the menu
is there a channel for phones or just #tech-chat-1 and #tech-chat-2?
apparantly theres a stipend, motorola does NOT ever allow phones topower up under 100% battery.
aka you have to fight to power them on
gj you fuckers
What's the toast boiiiis?
If you've got an issue try the #1027757333117415424 channel
You have no idea how much easier a screenshot of your message is directing users to tech-support is gonna make
I'm genuinely grateful
school it department co-op is going beautifully;
device: promethean board
issue: it don't work
so helpful
i want to meet linus fr
yeah depends what you get
We got one in our city that's been open for a couple weeks
And their line is always 1 hour long
For drive thru
Is that normal
no
wish i had one but i live in the most dead area of PA
it's probably because it's still new
one order of everything plus a few sides
get a pink lemonade and mail it to me so i can rate it
if they have french fries add like, everything
jk, not sure what they have
what’s a good laptop for around $1000-1350 and can play most games good
Light or dark blue braces?
AMD powered Dell Inspiron 15
Wait
Gaming... oof
Anything with thunderbolt and get an eGPU
That way you can save money by using a single GPU between desktop and laptop
egpu performance has a hard cap and latency issues if you use the laptops internal display
...but is still perfectly cromulent if you want to play games and are reasonable about it
It's not like MXM still exists
what’s an eGPU
external gpu
what’s that
its a gpu, thats external
so is it like a gpu inside of a pc
fr this is too much information
I didn't know how decent of a solution 5G was for interent nowerdays with a good modem.
Depends on your tower
If you're near the right tower you can get 800-1400 down easily
I have 5G coverage in my area even when just using a phone, and I am gonna use a proper dedicated modem so.
the modems are not cheap, but when you consider I can get unlimited data for £17 a month and 264Mb internet cost £33 like it wont matter if I am spending £450 on the modem now in 2 years I will have almost paid off the modem and when the modem is paid off it's just savings.
My partner only has 5G at home for her internet and it seems to work pretty well.
Definitely good enough for lag-free games
although the price of data is probably going to increase.
but the price of a wired boradband connection is also probably going to increase so...
The price (here at least) seems to be about the same. I think she’s paying less than I am for wired internet
The only downside is the data cap, but even that’s pretty generous
I'm personally happy with 100Mb+ so this perfectly suits me.
Ah the carrier I am joining with apparently doesn't have a fair usage policy, I have tried searching for it, but nada.
I will call them up before getting into a contract OBVIOUSLY.
I know Vodaphone has like a 4TB fair usage policy but I only use like 300 - 400GB of data over 90 days, so even if there is a fair usage policy as long as it's 500GB+ I'm golden.
I think Telstra’s plan is for 1TB a month
Does PG27AQDM monitor support free sync
there is no way to know!
aeron
And na if twitch gaming were still big for me I would go with a wired connection no matter what, but it's not so w.e.
I barely even game nowerdays hence why I am still rocking a 1080Ti
because it seems like a waste of money to upgrade it until its unusable.
Imagine if there was some sort of list
Like directly from AMD
Something like https://www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors/ 😛
Didn't know that existed
Will upgrade at some point, but I have a lot of other stuff I need to save up for so it probably gonna be another year or so, but if I didn't I would be taking a hard long look at the 7800XT.
Aka the replacement for the 6700XT

Like I am probably going to be going off grid in the next year or 2 so I need to buy a laptop for 1, never mind a house battery or 2 coming out to like £1400 per battery, 1000W of solar pannels etc etc... yeh rent is to damn high so I am gonna be living in a van, but the modem I can take with me so I don't mind spluging out on something good.
Will probably start out with 1 battery then after everything else is done and I can save again I will buy a second.
My monitors are 7 years old and starting to flicker a bit
I hope they’re not dying 😓
doubtful
I would suspect the HDMI or Display port rather than the monitor.
unplug and blow lmao
But it might be the monitor?
do yall think that running mw2 on my school laptop that has a gtx 950m is a great idea
that’s one of the most ideas of all time
run that shit on a chromebook
yes
oh shit my school pc just bluescreened after i ran mw2
guys is this good
okay ill just run mw2 on safemode
Because it sucks
Not enough ram or something
lol it got 4gb
“my pc (that doesn’t meet minreq) crashed after i put too much stress on it”
wow, shocker. really, truly
Nah does it on both connectors, my laptop dock is HDMI and my PC is DisplayPort
RIP
Loose solder maybe?
Nah who am I kidding
I had an Acer monitor that started flickering and having strange artifacting after owning it for about 2 years but I returned it bc it was from Costco and they allowed indefinite returns for monitors
today I learned that Gamefly still exists
so is it like a redemption key service now like fanatical is?
Tf is ganefly
Damn didn't know they were still around
1 2 3 4 i declare a thumb war
That first one
🍞
Now I want a Butterburger
but i like to keep extra bread in my pocket, just in case i get hungry!
on the robotics team im on somebody sent the drive train length and then said incase your blind and sent braile even though its a ss 😭 like yes a blind person can feel braile through the screen
I haven't watch'd ltt in weeks, have I missed anything I need to come back for?
I did quit during the drama so I am just checking in
they are videos
A couple cool videos
good, as long as they have only uploaded a couple. The shotgun effect was getting old
oh wow since I unsubbed the view count has gone to way down
It is currently, very bad
did anyone check out the adjustable desk sponsor from the newest vid? thinking of getting one finally
what sort of insane person gets to level 100 in starfield
Meh, most adjustable desk makers seem like crap
have you ever owned one?
Bathe daily, jesus christ yall grow shit on your skin or smth?
Everyone's still bread here, huh?
I mean I use an amazon basics office chair and so far so good, its not bad at all
🥖
What do I get when I stick a baggete up my hole?
You get a baggete up your hole
These cgi eyes have less soul than the bread in them
RT was off, sorry 
prebuilts: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/BVhcTY
nah a prebuilt would use a single stick of ram
can forget the shitty stock cooler with that i7 or i9 and that psu thats about to blow up and the 500gb ssd and 16gb ram with a 4090
can't*
if your lucky you will get ddr5
😭 why is this so accurate
they put actual ewaste together with a 13900k and 4090 and call it a day.
pretty much
gaming laptops are famous for the 500gb ssds and 16gb ram with there most speced-out laptops
If i ever get one its going to be framework
thats honestly realistic then
real
TRUUEE
That was 3 typos in a row from me.
oh, we definitely saw
still getting used to this god awful keyboard somehow.
My G915 was not worth it...
60% mfs trying to convince people that 60% is all you need and is better then 75% or tkl or 100%
next keyboard will be custom 100%
75% is best
All I need is TKL
yes I know
I like TKL more
i would say 100% is a nessacity for me
but i have a full
It’s like a free built in widely accepted macro key pad
but 75% is best
I can't give up my delete button
Or my function keys
lol do you actually use it?
60% is pretty much useless tbh
Yes, a lot
Does a single soul use scroll lock 💀💀
No
For what?
Whoever can live without F keys are crazy
Real
your missing out on functions keys, page up and down keys and pretty much everything else u would use
Page up and page down keys are great if your feeling too lazy to reach for your mouse
I use it for GTA
File management
wtf i had to look at my keyboard to make sure you weren't gaslighting me
i have never used it
what does scroll lock even do?
Ah it is nice to just hit it and have files dissapeae
🗿 idk
Right now I have this: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/keyboards/ch-9515031-na/k63-wireless-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-and-gaming-lapboard-combo-blue-led-cherry-mx-red-ch-9515031-na
i genuinely have no idea
It’s always off on my keyboard, so when I turn it off it’s the brightest light
And here's my setup 
mine doesn't have a pc cause mine broke
Wtf i want that
Soon to be even better once I move ;)
This is mine
how to send images?
boring™️
i cant
