Cool

[fierce moth]

I'm thinking of installing home assistant on something

I'm either gonna slap it on a vm or a pi

Most likely a vm since I don't have any spare pis available

[manic torrent]

I run it in a docker

[fierce moth]

I don't like docker

Never really worked for me

[graceful burrow]

I need to fuck around with docker a bit more

[fierce moth]

plus i have a neato ui for managing vms

[dreamy rose]

Ping

[fierce moth]

i have a problem

[graceful burrow]

Cs2 lookin good

[fierce moth]

even can do ez update management

[dreamy rose]

just not my internet tho.

[graceful burrow]

Skill issue

[fierce moth]

im probs gonna start saving up for a server upgrade

mostly a new mobo and case

something with a fair few drive mounts

[manic torrent]

my server has a single 1tb SSD and a 1tb surveillance drive

[vapid cypress]

Why are you hoarding music

[fierce moth]

i only have a 1tb hdd

having a 2tb would be better

considering im starting to transition all my retro games to network booting

[fierce moth]

cause youtube music sucks

[tired glade]

Cold storage is best way to preserve something

[fierce moth]

plus i have hq flacs

and plexamp is so good imo

[vapid cypress]

It epic

[fierce moth]

debatable

i just like having my music locally stored

cause i dont think youtube music has flacs

[vapid cypress]

I didn't win the contest to go berlin as a transfer student, they gave that win to the person who scored worse in the english exam and im left in the reserve 👍👍

[glass lantern]

Finally setup my phone to transfer files over WiFi because it's so much faster, freckin USB2.0... and yeh it is actually substantually faster because I can get like 80 - 100MB/s over WiFi while USB 2.0 with all the overhead and other limitations it's more like 30MB/s so over twice as fast and I don't need to connect a cable... is stupid though that WiFi is faster than a wired connection on a phone released in 2022.

[manic torrent]

errrr, this has been true for many many years.

[glass lantern]

Well my complaint is still that USB 2.0 shouldn't be on a phone from the last 5 years

[gentle slate]

I dont like online shopping. My CPU and RAM were supposed to arrive today. They didnt. Instead my cooler arrived that was supposed to arrive next week.

[manic torrent]

I assume you mean an iphone, and the USB2 is basically vestigial

[glass lantern]

Na android, it's not a super budget phone, but in the £350 range, but like implementing USB 3 would have costed them like a couple of cents per unit.

[fierce moth]

Me with my ps2 using usb 1.1

[glass lantern]

because the actual controller on the SoC can do USB3

[manic torrent]

same principle though - phones have not been intended to have data transferred using the USB port for many years

[glass lantern]

I think it shares the same bus with the WiFi and other stuff though so if you were to allow the USB port to do full USB 3.0 speeds it would kill your WiFi if you were trying to do anything else at the same time, but like considering I could fill the phone in like 7 minutes it's not a real issue.

assuming no other limitation

[dreamy rose]

real question. but how can CS Source give me 5 ping on a game against bots thats literally hosted on my computer?

[manic torrent]

because things take time?

[dreamy rose]

theres no server to contact. i should have no ping

[manic torrent]

entirely wrong

It runs a server locally, and there is always latency.

[supple pawn]

Even if it's hosted on the local machine, a server is still being created, no? I imagine the 5ms is the time it takes the local server to process the inputs?

[vapid cypress]

Just calculate every device that reacts with the data that adds up latency

Every component

[vapid moss]

try changing the tickrate on cs source server nvm don't think cs source supports changing tickrate

[graceful burrow]

iirc source 1 was made from the ground up to technically make a server for the game to play in, even if its singleplayer

[dreamy rose]

its just me, the both have no ping either

[wispy marsh]

Huh, it happens here too

Ohai catlady

[wind pulsar]

To destroy someone's illusion;
Boneless wings are made out of chicken breast, not wings

[wispy marsh]

I like that fact

[wind pulsar]

[wispy marsh]

It's good to harass people with it

[wind pulsar]

Yuh, though it's a good way to have someone eat the arguably most undesired part of the chicken

[lilac bear]

it is funny with the whole
Android fanboys: "haha base iPhone 15 is only 2.0"
then also going: "ah shit... how many Android phones are still on 2.0??"

[spice pine]

Plus isn't the 2.0 speed stuff all a limitation of the chip?

[graceful burrow]

they make the chip tho

[wispy marsh]

The Apple A9X, released in 2015, is capable of USB 3.0 and utilises it

Having high-speed usb hurts their iCloud storage subscription baseline

If they wanted to not protect that subscription money we would have 3.0 since the 2015 iPad Pro (Lightning USB 3.0)

[harsh quartz]

They also just don’t care cause the average apple consumer doesn’t care

[wispy marsh]

That's secondary

They would rather you care more about getting an iCloud storage subscription than where's my usb drive that I didn't pay Apple for?

It's the little things like this that makes their manipulation magical

You know it and everyone else knows it

They're very good at letting people pick the lesser evil, and because of convenience it's almost always Apple's way

[spice pine]

But the iPhone 14 Pro (which was the first to utilize the A16 chip) only had a lightning connector, which was limited to USB 2.0 speeds. I'm not defending not having USB 3.0 or anything, I think they should have it, but it's not like if they had USB 3.0 on the A16 before this year, they would've utilized it

I'm sure iCloud subscriptions are a factor too, but it's likely a combination of the Lightning ecosystem, the iCloud subscriptions, actual user requests for it, and use cases

[lilac bear]

did you need a special lightning cable to utilize 3.0? like USB

[elfin jetty]

How is chicken breast undesireable?

Its literally the most meat you're gonna get off the chicken

[graceful burrow]

dark meat > white meat

[elfin jetty]

Tbh im not exactly picky so both are good

Depends on prep though

[graceful burrow]

im not sayin white meat is bad, im just sayin

[spice pine]

Yes

[elfin jetty]

Fair

[lilac bear]

yeah can see how that would be hell for normies

it's one of the issues Android has

[elfin jetty]

Bad mounting or bad thermal paste application most likely

When was the last time you repasted the cpu

🤷‍♀️

[fierce moth]

Bruh

I was setting up a home assistant vm

And libvirt didn't automatically make grub a usable boot option

So I had to do all sorts of funky stuff for it to work

[elfin jetty]

Yea thats weird, it could have also shifted possibly

[spice pine]

I can't seem to find anything suggesting Apple ever made the proposed Lightning to USB 3.0 cable

this appears to be it

[wind pulsar]

In a lot if not most areas chicken breast is seen is the most bland and dry (since it is) part of the chicken, it doesn't really matter if it's the most meat you're gonna get out of it

[elfin jetty]

Its only bland if ya dont know how to cook it properly

[wind pulsar]

That's not an argument for the people lul

[elfin jetty]

Well the people are dumb and dont know how to cook good chicken breast

[wind pulsar]

People devour chicken wings as is since it needs zero preparation. By far the most desired parts of the chicken are the wings and the skin

Well, that's only considering people cook the chicken whole

People don't really know that chicken nuggets, boneless wings and a lot of chicken burgers are just made out of chicken breast

[wispy marsh]

Counterpoint:

The Apple A9X iPad Pro 2015 uses Lightning with USB 3.0

[past egret]

well cause you have to cook the breast well

[spice pine]

Almost like that’s a different product or something

[wispy marsh]

Almost like that's the same connector, right?

[rain mesa]

Another Google product being shut down! https://mashable.com/article/google-is-shutting-down-jamboard

[wispy marsh]

Apple had enough SoC space on the iPhone 14 Pro/15 models to get rid of raytracing silicon. Don't you dare tell me it is a SoC limitation.

It is purely a design decision, one backed by the baseline of cloud storage subscriptions

[tired glade]

It can be just for boosting appeal for next gen

[wispy marsh]

Rubbish

[spice pine]

Damn that’s crazy because it’s almost like the A16 chip didn’t have USB 3.0 support or something

[wispy marsh]

The same way nVidia gives you 8gb and 16gb cards with exactly the same bus

[tired glade]

iPhone 15 pro max looks kinda off,if truly speaking,like engineers wasn't even trying

New pixel also getting that wibe

[wispy marsh]

I don't want to see it only the day when they put me in a chip, locked away in a basement beneath their heavily armed headquarters.

[tired glade]

Off grid is the way

[wispy marsh]

Then what? Wait fifty years? Then another fifty?

[spice pine]

new pixel looks ugly but so do the current ones

[wispy marsh]

The new iPhones have curves

[tired glade]

Leaked s24 render looks like good

[spice pine]

it looks like the S23

[wispy marsh]

I think MKBHD said it was a curve closer to the bigger iPhone (with TouchID) series than the squared iPhone 4/5

They even curved the 15 pro's glass, not sure about the 15

[tired glade]

It's just bigger

[spice pine]

I dunno, i’m still reeling from that one dork a while ago that tried to shill for samsung while calling the iPhone SE 3rd gen eWaste

I like samsung’s design choices and all but they feel very samey as of late

but so does Apple 🤷‍♀️

[neon mesa]

the SE is like putting a V8 on a prius

sure it has a decent chip but god the design didn't age well

[lament grove]

MKBHD isn't reliable tech source generally

[spice pine]

Some people reeaaally like the small phone philosophy

i’ll never get it

[lament grove]

They all look the same lmao
Which is fine. its a good design. I'm happy with my s22+

Phones aren't a movie. They don't have to be exciting

They're a utility firstmost

[wispy marsh]

It's not about the size. It's about how well you utilise it

The strengh of a phone goes beyond its size

[spice pine]

Meh, if it takes calls, sends texts, and i can scroll shit when I'm bored, I'm fine with it. If it does extra stuff? Nice.

[past egret]

if your phone doesnt grill you a cheese its a not a phone

[dull tapir]

my phone has never gotten hot

so i have no idea

[fierce moth]

I had to boot into my arch install to install home assistant

On a vm

but it does work

after a couple of hours of tinkering

[wispy marsh]

Ayy HA

[fierce moth]

Playing a new game

[chrome vector]

Bully is that OG shit

[fierce moth]

Playing on ps2 as well

[chrome vector]

Yeah, that's what I used to play it on as a kid. At this point I would rather play the enhanced edition, though. Just for the extra content.

I really wish they would actually make a Bully 2, but with Dan Houser leaving Rockstar I don't know if that will ever happen. Hell, I'm already very sketched out about any game after RDR2 now that he's gone, Rockstar/Take-Two have already been moving in a scummier direction. Dan was a major powerhouse behind Rockstar, he was essentially the head of writing/story on most of the previous games. I don't know if Rockstar is really going to be the same without him, especially given the direction that they are already moving, Really fucking sad, I always, without hesitation use to proudly proclaim Rockstar to be my favorite game studio by far. I do not know how much longer that can last. If they ever fuck up the singleplayer experience in one of their games, they're doomed. That is the last thread holding them up, in my opinion. As much as we can bitch about GTA Online or RDR Online, their single player experience is still amazing, and that's really all I have ever cared about.

Hopefully they don't become the next Blizzard

[tidal minnow]

People thinking Android vs ios is the same as iPhone vs Samsung

Literally every other smartphone company:

[gilded forge]

emulation >>

[gaunt cave]

Question, why do companies even bother designing phones to look pretty? Basically no one ever uses them without cases...

[fierce moth]

I play on real hardware

[stray apex]

you're not exactly going to be showing a $20 spigen in your marketing

[graceful burrow]

I'd be more inclined to buy it if it did spigen rules

[gaunt cave]

So commit to one or the other. Either make phones that don't need cases (make then thick enough to hold safely and not out of slippery materials) or make then ugly looking but sell pretty cases

I feel like pixel is the worst of this, it's pretty looking but quite thin and slippery and has a back that cracks easy enough. don't even get me started on the Ti iPhone, wth. Honestly we all own many expensive things, some of them fragile but phones are basically the only things most ppl have in a case all the time. Can you imagine if people did that with their China?

[jaunty compass]

Spare pc now has 1060

Friendship ended with GT 1030, GTX 1060 is the spare PC's new best friend

[distant wren]

Ended? How did that friendship end?

[lament grove]

Lol 1060 is the best gpu I've ever owned

Still running this bad boy

[jaunty compass]

I had the 1060 lying around and decided to put it in here since I didn't have anything spare that was better

I have a 1660 super but it's in a different spare computer right now

[lament grove]

Dishonored1 148 fps
Hell yeah

[distant wren]

I was thinking about upgrading to 4070 or 5070 but that one is not out yet

[jaunty compass]

And my 6600xt which is my best GPU I have on hand is in my main gaming rig

[distant wren]

But how does that end a friendship?

[jaunty compass]

I had the 1030 in it before which was substantially slower

[distant wren]

Or do you mean your friend now has a new card?

[jaunty compass]

Absolutely not, I just gave my friend an entire PC yesterday

It was a late birthday gift for her but it has an Rx 580 8 gig

So a 1060 wouldn't even be an upgrade

[jaunty compass]

the pc has a new card but this is my dad's emulation rig (that i built and he never uses)

Ok so if it’s via chipset there’s less of a difference I’m guessing.

It a b550 chipset

[median apex]

Linus just get the iPhone 15 Pro (max if you want bigger) with AppleCare+ and you’ll be good to go

[fierce moth]

Unfortunately linus already has a phone

And he likes it

[placid tiger]

Unfortunately Linus broke his phone in the latest video and asked the community to post on reddit which phone to get ;p

It's a battle for Fairphone 5, Pixel Fold and iPhone 15 pro max in that order so far, they'll pick in a week

It's up on youtube

[fierce moth]

Ngl linus is most likely gonna go with something Android

[harsh quartz]

i feel like they just want him to use the 15 cause they want him to suffer

[fierce moth]

As he uses sideloading

[placid tiger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJFaXwnixxM

The 15 is getting beaten 4x by the fairphone at the moment

[harsh quartz]

damn, i want him to suffer too

[polar fern]

The fact that they chose titanium for the frame tells me that the people buying that Phone aren’t going to be worried about scratching it

[placid tiger]

sirsaibot put the fairphone 5, i put the pixel fold

dont downvote the ones you dont like, its rude !

[polar fern]

I say Linus should go with a bottom shelf, android locked in with whatever OEM software it comes with.

[placid tiger]

vote for a samsung then 😂

[polar fern]

That wouldn’t be Samsung, that would be Alcatel

[placid tiger]

ah worse

note it has to work in 🇨🇦

[polar fern]

It should

[placid tiger]

i dont think anyone put an alcatel you should add it

[polar fern]

Speaking of cell phones… it still amuses the hell out of me that sprint was started by a railroad

[median apex]

r/confidentlyincorrect

[placid tiger]

I'm also really curious if Linus wrote down a list of what he thinks the top 5 on the reddit poll will be beforehand

[polar fern]

I don’t use Reddit

[fierce moth]

Didn't see the new video

[median apex]

Fake fan

[south stone]

Ok what's the trolliest phone that meets all of Linus requirements that we can vote. haha

[fierce moth]

Cut me some slack

[placid tiger]

i dont really use reddit either since the API crap

[median apex]

I have 3 alerts go off when a new video drops

[polar fern]

I am going to play some kerbal space program and watch the new video

[fierce moth]

I have a life

[placid tiger]

the iphone 15 pro max i think lol

[harsh quartz]

oh wow im surprised thats a warshipped word

[fierce moth]

So I can't watch ltt as soon as it comes out

[south stone]

No panda bear looking phone that checks all the boxes?

[placid tiger]

i haven't watched the video yet either

[south stone]

Or some 'cat' phone (the ones that resist like 5G) so he can drop it as much as he wants?

[polar fern]

If you think a word should not be on the auto moderation list, make sure you message someone from the moderation team about it.

[harsh quartz]

its a word that could go 50/50, im suprised but not upset 😛

[placid tiger]

Without watching the video, I know Linus likes a large screen, and prefers Android. A clown-sized tablet that can take a sim card and act as a phone would fit too 😄

[full fossil]

do you guys put tinfoil on your pets as well? or you dont care about your pets

[harsh quartz]

yeah, so we should vote for the smallest IOS phone possible

[placid tiger]

it has to have a strong cpu too

i'm on help linus have a good phone side 😛

[harsh quartz]

im not

[placid tiger]

but if we can exaggerate all the features he wants to be too much, it would be comical as well

[harsh quartz]

literally giving him an ipad would be pretty funny

[placid tiger]

can an ipad with a sim act as a phone?

[gilded quest]

No

[polar fern]

iPads are data only

[harsh quartz]

im pretty sure you can get cellular service Ipads

[gilded quest]

iPads cannot do actual phone stuff

[harsh quartz]

give him an apple watch instead then

[placid tiger]

there are cell service ipads but i dont know if they have the phone features

[gilded quest]

Ya know what phones are, right?
Calls and texts

[polar fern]

You can use audio messaging and video apps, but you can’t make a plane regular phone call

[south stone]

🤣

[harsh quartz]

i prefer helicopter phone calls

[placid tiger]

how about a playstation vita 3G?

[polar fern]

Breh

[gilded quest]

3g networks are being shut down

[polar fern]

Most places don’t even have 3G service anymore

[gilded quest]

And isn't software supported

S23U

That's the logical route

[polar fern]

They need space on the towers and space around the tower for the newer stuff

[gilded quest]

3g is gone or being rapidly phased out in North America

[harsh quartz]

give him a nokia 3310

[gilded quest]

Did nobody watch the video

[daring osprey]

Make him go pixel

[polar fern]

That time, when Nokia was ARM’s biggest customer

I didn’t watch it yet, I am going to in a little bit

[harsh quartz]

lets go back to those days

[placid tiger]

im about to go watch it now

[gilded quest]

He needs to not drop calls, unfortunately

[vapid turtle]

can someone look at my tech repport about battlebit?

[daring osprey]

I keep hearing about this issue but I have both a pixel 6 pro and a 7 pro... never had any call drops

Fingerprint is ass tho

[gilded quest]

I haven't either, but I live in a city with pretty reliable coverage

I'd imagine Canada is just gonna be worse for cell coverage

But I'd love for him to daily drive pixel 8 pro

[gilded quest]

Its really not that bad

But I've yet to use a phone with a good under screen scanner

Samsungs first Gen ultrasonic was also meh but fine

[fierce moth]

Top 3 votes atm

[gilded quest]

If the fair phone supports Canadian bands that would be a cool option

[vapid turtle]

[daring osprey]

I mean it's not bad. I really like my pixels. Compared to other fingerprint scanners yeah it's a bit slow. But that's like the debate of 240 Hz and 144 Hz monitors. There's a difference. But do you really notice it enough to live without it?

[jaunty compass]

I also have a physical Wii U

[fierce moth]

Ayy

[jaunty compass]

I just was wanting to consolidate my setup at the time

This was back before I really had much cash to afford anything decent so I grabbed a cheap HP workstation on eBay for like $70 and grabbed a GT 1030 because it was low profile and the fastest card I could afford at the time

This was years ago back when the 1030 was still somewhat relevant

$40 is a huge percent of my disability income

[ionic abyss]

same here

[gilded quest]

Is this for the same system you've been working on for like 6 months?

[manic torrent]

yeah but 40 bucks for literally the same thing is always welcome, it's not like you're compromising

[ionic abyss]

i only get $1300 after medicare

[polar fern]

Planning. It all recently got assembled when someone bought me all of the parts on a list I had given them, not realising that that was their intent

[manic torrent]

also groceries are so goddamn expensive now, $40 gets you like... some bread and water.

[harsh quartz]

mmmmmBread soup

[polar fern]

I had already purchased the case and the processor at that point and did not expect to have a graphics card for some time

Text to speech in iOS 15 was actually amazing

Sorry, I meant to say speech to text dyslexia moment whoops

[gilded quest]

I find it to be inconsistent

Sometimes it gets exactly what I say, sometimes it's completely different

[polar fern]

I am still completely mind blown over the fact that I caught that price difference

In iOS 16, sometimes it would actually have words that I did not say, and it would insert all types of punctuation literally all over

As you can see the problems are a lot fewer with iOS 17 which I am currently using

I would literally do a whole paragraph speech to text, and then have to edit the whole thing

Ooo! The the two NF-S12A PWM fans I ordered arrived today!

he was psychotic and wanted for a long time

[jaunty compass]

John McAfee moment

[gilded forge]

in seriousness tho, stop wasting your money bro

[jaunty compass]

He got assassinated lmao

[harsh quartz]

they made the documentary while he was wanted and he just didnt give a fuck, he told everyone possible who he was

[spice pine]

"if i commit [warship] don't believe it because i didn't"
does it anyways

i fully believe he actually did it to himself

[jaunty compass]

I think It's funnier if he didn't

[hollow raft]

[spice pine]

funnier if he didn't for sure, but 0 way he didn't

dude was absolutely going to be in US Prison for the rest of his life either way

[gilded forge]

honestly I'd ask him for an autograoh

[unique galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/live/yFujQ4xvi9o?si=hN6NNlkYdSJvxCth&t=20 I'm not surprised at all about the Samsng monitors cracking

My university purchased a few thousand Samsung ultrawides and so far about 500 have cracked in the exact same place, so it's a serious issue.

The panel comes away from the display and puts too much pressure on it

Due to weak adhesive I guess

[spice pine]

curved screens do be lookin awful imo

[unique galleon]

They're horrible

[vapid smelt]

My Samsung oven and microwave displays are dying too, Samsung have been going down hill imo

[unique galleon]

I think that's the case with virtually every manufacturer

At work we have had to RMA two Dell Latitudes in a week

[vapid smelt]

Also at my work the majority of returns for appliances are Samsung

[gilded quest]

I love my work latitude

I don't have to worry about abusing it

[unique galleon]

Maybe this is a cheaper SKU, because it's all plastic and built like a Chromebook

[gilded quest]

Uhh

[unique galleon]

It still cost just over 800 though

[gilded quest]

Ours are all plastic

[unique galleon]

I remember at one point they were carbon fiber and metal

I think in the Haswell days

[gilded quest]

I think they have different tiers

[unique galleon]

I see

After seeing what's available new now, I don't think I'd ever buy a new laptop again

I could pay the same and get an X1 Carbon or XPS that's only a few years old

[vapid smelt]

What about a handheld laptop aka a steam deck

[unique galleon]

That's one exception

Same for that other handheld one

Although, that requires quite a bit less material I expect

[harsh quartz]

the TVs are decent but i dont like their other stuff

[unique galleon]

That Tizen OS is horrible, though

[harsh quartz]

yeah i just plug in a roku

i use rokuOS and ignore the samsung OS

[unique galleon]

I wouldn't want to use anything other than an Android TV now

[fierce moth]

Android TV is best

I have a 4k chromecast

[unique galleon]

Sony implemented it really nicely

[fierce moth]

Works so well

[unique galleon]

But you pay a huge premium for their televisions

[harsh quartz]

im the same way with rokus, i cant not use one anymore.

[unique galleon]

I haven't tried the Roku before

Does it have any ads on the home screen?

[harsh quartz]

i think so but i dont really sit on the homescreen

[unique galleon]

I've been tempted to get a Shield TV Pro, but they're costly

[fierce moth]

I have pihole so I don't have many ads

[gilded forge]

the best Smart TV is an RPi running Kodi.

[unique galleon]

Surprised they didn't start baking the ads in yet

[fierce moth]

Kodi is a pain to use imo

Android TV always worked well for me

[harsh quartz]

i would love to do this but my dad doesnt like the idea of having it on our network, once i move out im gonna use one tho

[vapid smelt]

8 mins ago some guy returned a $2,800 Samsung tv because he didn't like it 😂

[unique galleon]

The OS tries to be too clever

I hate it

Just be a TV ffs

[harsh quartz]

tbf im more in the 500-600 range, i like the panels, i would never dream of spending that much on a TV

[gilded forge]

whatever happened to that weird Telly thing where they'd give you a free 55" TV with a second dual screen for ads and spy on you

[vapid smelt]

As a user I highly recommend one the 4k upscaling is great

[unique galleon]

Maybe I'll get one for my dad instead

I only use my TV about twice a year

He uses his every night

[harsh quartz]

yeah im ngl i end up using my phone a lot more than my TV even when im in front of my TV

[unique galleon]

For me it's the hassle of getting the keyboard and mouse out

Because I have a desktop as the only input

[harsh quartz]

kek

[gilded forge]

I've honestly just debated about getting a dumb TV because it's cheaper, and just hooking up a 4K chromecast

[unique galleon]

The problem is that all the dumb TVs are LCD

And most don't even have local dimming

[harsh quartz]

i basically use mine as a dumb tv but theyre hard to find anymore

[vapid smelt]

Last week someone bought a 6 grand (on sale for $3,000) TCL 98" inch led tv, it wasn't even mini led

[unique galleon]

All the black scenes will look grey at best

[gilded forge]

because realistically, most of my streaming apps are just on my Xbox. mainly bc my TV is stupidly laggy on its own OS is stupid.

[harsh quartz]

i dont understand it. how do you even use a 98" tv

[unique galleon]

At a distance

[vapid smelt]

Maybe it was for a school

[harsh quartz]

at a massive distance

[harsh quartz]

what school has a need for a 98" 3K$ tv?

[vapid smelt]

Sadly I wasnt there to load it into the customers car just brought it down from the isle

[unique galleon]

One of our customers recently asked for an 85 inch TV and then decided it was too big for their conference room lmao

Sent it straight back

[harsh quartz]

proceeds to try to load it into a 2001 camry trunk

[unique galleon]

Financing 😳

3 grand TV turns into a 5 grand one

[vapid smelt]

People bring sedans to try to pick up 65inch tvs....

And a couch one time

[unique galleon]

Ratchet strap it to the roof

[harsh quartz]

kek, i made the Best buy guy look at me funny when i bought our last one, i think its 55", i have a small SUV and he went "this isnt gonna fit" and i had to show him how to fit it in cause it easily did

[polar fern]

@gilded forge I have tendinitis - had to switch to text to speech about a year ago

[vapid smelt]

They don't even bring straps 😭 we use our cheap ass rope

[unique galleon]

Oof

Hope they don't go over speed bumps

[harsh quartz]

just have someone standing up out the window holding it down

[unique galleon]

I wouldn't trust that method not to dent my roof tbh

Especially with how tight those straps can get

And how shoddily built cars are now

[harsh quartz]

my guy a tv is not gonna collapse your cars roof in unless you put all the weight on a tiny little point

[unique galleon]

Maybe if it has a few hundred newtons of torque?

[vapid smelt]

My work makes customers sign a liability waiver if we lay tvs flat, so most the times the SUV/sedan people come back with a truck or van. We can only have them straight up or at an angle

[unique galleon]

I remember seeing someone transport a fridge laying down once

[harsh quartz]

yea, i had mine with the second row of seats split, with one seat up and one down, so it could easily fit while also standing up and resting against the seat that was still up

[unique galleon]

Which I hear is the worst thing you can do

[harsh quartz]

thats for a different reason tho

[vapid smelt]

It's technically fine if they leave it standing up without powering it on for at least 48hours

[unique galleon]

Yeah

Although, most people end up buying a new fridge because their old one died

And they want to save their food

[vapid smelt]

Yup

[harsh quartz]

?

[unique galleon]

I believe you get about 18 hours before the temperature gets to an unsafe level

Of it being off

[harsh quartz]

im just confused how we got here

[unique galleon]

Samsung being shit > Laptops > TVs > Home appliances I believe

[harsh quartz]

no i mean like, "its bad to transport fridges laying down" - "people usually buy new ones when they break"

[unique galleon]

Ah yeah

I am stating the obvious 😎

[vapid smelt]

The display for my Samsung microwave will cost $100 and it's only 3 years old

[unique galleon]

Reminds me, a friend of mine got an insane microwave from a company called Gaggenau

Doesn't even have a platter but it still heats evenly

Cost thousands

[vapid smelt]

Idk why my folks replaced our perfectly fine 15 year old+ white appliances for stainless steel Samsung shit boxes

[unique galleon]

Consumerism is my best guess

Then again, 15 years is a damn good run

Bet the new ones won't manage that

[vapid smelt]

Our most expensive microwave we sell is only $2,500 from kichenaid

[unique galleon]

Still a huge amount for a microwave

[oblique root]

who would buy a microwave that expensive

[unique galleon]

I think I remember him saying the ovens need 3 phase power as well, and they're no bigger than a typical home one

[vapid smelt]

https://www.kitchenaid.com/major-appliances/microwaves/over-the-range/p.30-built-in-microwave-oven-with-convection-cooking.kmbp100ebs.html

[unique galleon]

Heat up so quickly

[polar fern]

@unique galleon probably one of the newer inverter models meant for light commercial duty

[vapid smelt]

People buy $1,000 icecube makers, not a freezer a dedicated icecube machine

[oblique root]

i dont care i want my 50 dollar microwave from tesco

[unique galleon]

I heard those can be hard to clean

And have recurring costs to replace filters and such

[polar fern]

most ice machines are disgusting and a pain in the cheeks to clean and you gotta flush it out a bunch after cleaning or risk getting cleaner in the ice

[vapid smelt]

$630 from GE

[unique galleon]

Main reason I don't want one in my fridge

[oblique root]

anyways do you guys recommend any gpu for my 650 pound build
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RB4JMV

[unique galleon]

I'd prefer to just get ice cube trays or buy ice cubes

[vapid smelt]

What parts do you own

[oblique root]

i dont own anything

im just planning rn

[ionic abyss]

hmmm

[unique galleon]

You might be able to get a 4060 or a 7600 in that budget

[fierce moth]

Thank fuck my freezer can freeze lol

[scarlet bone]

what phone yal think linus should get?

[polar fern]

tray with filtered water is better than an ice machine.

[oblique root]

is it 8gb

[unique galleon]

I believe both are at least 12GB

[oblique root]

i might consider it then

[unique galleon]

nvm

7600 is 8GB

[oblique root]

the cheapest 4060 is 288 pounds wdym

[tired glade]

Oh,Fairphone 5 is getting a lot of recommendation in forum thread

[unique galleon]

Might need some slight compromises from other components

Or see if anything good comes up on Black Friday

[oblique root]

ok

im gonna purposefully buy a gt 710

for 80 pounds

[tired glade]

Lol

[silk island]

Oh god why

[unique galleon]

Hot UK Deals usually has good deals on graphics cards https://www.hotukdeals.com/tag/graphics-card

[tired glade]

Get 1030 with active cooler too,that should be like 150$

[oblique root]

because it is a flagship gpu in 2024

[silk island]

1997 more like

lol

[unique galleon]

Isn't the RX 6400 a bit crap?

[tired glade]

Yea, if flagship,not most likely not which one you think

[tired glade]

It's good value to 1650, basically

[silk island]

Eh. It’s alright lol

[oblique root]

is a rtx 20 series still good

[silk island]

I have the 7900 XTX personally

[tired glade]

Not really anymore

[silk island]

I tossed my old 1080

[ionic abyss]

no never toss a working gpu

[silk island]

It wasn’t

[oblique root]

give it to me

ok nvm then

[silk island]

Lol

[oblique root]

did you fry it

[silk island]

No just died

[unique galleon]

I've been wanting to upgrade my 2080 Super for about a year, but I don't game

[silk island]

Anyways my mom has my 6700 xt

[tired glade]

1080 is 7 years old, it's longer than avg

[unique galleon]

At this point I'd rather put that money towards something that really matters

Like a mortgage or a car

[silk island]

A mortgage in this economy…?!

[tired glade]

When GPU cost a month of mortgage

[unique galleon]

Will be waiting a while lol

Then again, house prices are in a freefall

[tired glade]

House crysis won't go away any time soon

[silk island]

Anyway I got a new chair but I can’t send a pic of it here….

[oblique root]

i might queue for council after university

[unique galleon]

A 4080 Ti is roughly an average mortgage month I think

[tired glade]

Where is it in freefall?

[unique galleon]

Well, not in freefall

[silk island]

4080 ti…?

[tired glade]

Where it going down, let's start with that

[unique galleon]

But down about 10% across the board here in the UK I think

[silk island]

4070 ti you mean?

[jaunty compass]

Hm yes the 4080 ti from wish.com™

[tired glade]

Oh UK

[oblique root]

my friend is scared of overclocking his i5 13400k because the temps are at 70 c

[unique galleon]

Not a lot of headroom

[silk island]

70c doing what

[oblique root]

roblox

[silk island]

Bruh what

[unique galleon]

Probably using a small cooler

[silk island]

My 13700K barely goes past 50 C when gaming

[oblique root]

and he has a 4080

[silk island]

In most cases it stays in the 38-45 C range

[oblique root]

i have a m1 macbook so idk about x86 temps

[silk island]

and when idling its typically at 23-28 degrees C

[fierce moth]

Most likely no thermal paste

Or they forgot to take off the cover

[oblique root]

it was a prebuilt so most likely

[silk island]

Oh god not a prebuilt

[unique galleon]

Probably got a full aluminium heastink

Blocked front panel

No exhaust fan lmao

[oblique root]

do you have a i9 or sth

[unique galleon]

I have a Ryzen 9

I keep my CPU fan at only 600 RPM though

Cannot stand noise

[oblique root]

my fan never turns on

i get 25 idle

[unique galleon]

Damn

[oblique root]

and 75 in csgo with lowest settings possible

[unique galleon]

You got a 480MM radiator or something?

[oblique root]

idk about apple magic

[unique galleon]

Ah, are you on Apple silicon?

[oblique root]

yea

[unique galleon]

Makes sense

[oblique root]

[unique galleon]

First time Apple put an overkill cooler in a MacBook lol

[vapid smelt]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/NZVbKX r5 5600 rx 6600 and a 2tb SSD for 655£

[oblique root]

thx

[oblique root]

i think its because its arm based instead of x86

[unique galleon]

Money doesn't go far anymore 😭

[tired glade]

So, bigger fan?

[unique galleon]

And quite a bit of copper I think

Basically the same as they had for the old Intel chips

[oblique root]

im stuck with 8gb ram so i cant do any emulation

[unique galleon]

Probably the biggest downside of the SoC approach

You're stuck with what you initially buy

[vapid smelt]

You can technically upgrade the ram on apple m1 chips

[oblique root]

i aint paying 200 pounds for 8gb more of ram

[unique galleon]

They really screw you over on that

[tired glade]

Before you buy it*

[oblique root]

apple is gonna lock my macbook with a software update

if i had the ability to modify it

[vapid smelt]

https://9to5mac.com/2021/04/06/m1-mac-ssd-and-ram-upgrade/

[tired glade]

Or there is work around and to chip not frick out?

[unique galleon]

That looks very difficult

Not something 99.9% of users would attempt I imagine

[tired glade]

Hadn't apple patch something in to prevent this?

[oblique root]

i dont even know where to get lpddr5

[vapid smelt]

That would be fucked up

[tired glade]

From ram sticks

[oblique root]

it is fucked up

[unique galleon]

Reminds me of a recent Optiplex I got that only allows DDR5 from three vendors

[tired glade]

Will you be surprised?

[unique galleon]

Got Crucial instead of Micron and it refused to POST

[oblique root]

you cant even do a mobo swap without the macbook not functioning

[tired glade]

You can't even replace ssd with new macs

[unique galleon]

Isn't the controller built into the SoC?

[tired glade]

It will refuse to detect it

[unique galleon]

And the SSD is just NAND

[tired glade]

Yep

[vapid smelt]

Nope, after my failed attempt to fix my mom's iPhone 8 touch id/ home button I'm not surprised on how far apple will go to make things difficult or impossible to repair

[unique galleon]

I'm sure they had a valid reason

[oblique root]

"security issues"

[unique galleon]

Can't be speed because I remember there was a lot of controversy over one of the lower end laptops being about half the speed of a high end one

Might have been the M2

[vapid smelt]

It was actually the last gen MacBook having a faster SSD vs the new version

[unique galleon]

Ah

[oblique root]

your comparing a baseline macbook air m2 against a 16 inch macbook pro m2 max

[unique galleon]

Yeah, that makes no sense at all

[oblique root]

ones 800 pounds the other is 2400

[tired glade]

Nand is flagged for that soc controller,so if you replace one from even from Apple, you still need to register it with apple support

[unique galleon]

Makes sense for it to be slower in that case

[vapid smelt]

https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/27/23184515/apple-macbook-pro-m2-slow-ssd-speeds

[unique galleon]

A single NAND chip lmao

Wonder what the durability is like on that single chip you can't replace

In a few years they'll all probably start dying

[vapid smelt]

That's some heavy laptops 😆

[oblique root]

i am waiting for the return of the 12 inch macbook

[dreamy rose]

Apple in the very best, ONE NAND Chip? how generous!

[unique galleon]

They kept the weight down!

We should be glad

[oblique root]

whats a nand chip

[unique galleon]

That's the individial flash memory chips

In the SSD

[oblique root]

i have the 512gb version

idk what im talking abaout

[unique galleon]

You shouldn't have a single one since yours is M1 IIRC

Before they cheaped out

[oblique root]

oh

[ionic abyss]

i dont get how spammers get a email adress and spam others using it while not being able to get on the adress

i know no email was sent from my email

[fossil frost]

anybody can send any email from any address they want to do. its up to the receiving server to verify it

[harsh quartz]

their hardware is so good they dont need more than 1

[unique galleon]

Admittedly their OS is very efficient

But it's still a dick move

[ionic abyss]

im jusst getting the spam responses

[dreamy rose]

a chip that carries a bunch of gates that trap electricity which equates toa 0 or 1. data

[jaunty compass]

nice B roll lol

from myspace deathcore to...what?

[oblique root]

isnt that how a computer functions

[fossil frost]

its literally just a header in the email protocol, you just add the line "From: Some Fucker [e-mail]" and/or "Reply-to: Some Fucker [e-mail]" (swapping in the real name and address)

[dreamy rose]

Spammers have a bunch of emails sold to them for money or you signed up for some spam thing.

[tired glade]

Sonic

[oblique root]

i cant even play roblox on low graphics without using 7.5gb of ram because i have safari and discord open

[dreamy rose]

no. Processors use Transistors

[fossil frost]

its not verified by the sending email server at all, ever... only by the receiver... which is what thinks like SPF and DKIM are for

[dreamy rose]

NAND stores it, Tansistors process it

[ionic abyss]

since i know the emails wwerent sent from my email directly

[fossil frost]

NAND is made from transistors

[oblique root]

ok

[ionic abyss]

so something like DBBPR09CA0044.eurprd09.prod.outlook.com

[unique galleon]

Maybe try running Discord in Safari

Discord is notoriously badly made

[fossil frost]

they dont need to be, as i said, anybody can send any email they want, from any address they want, and if the receiving server just accepts it, thats fine

[ionic abyss]

that was part of a response from a reciving server

[oblique root]

it uses 2gb of ram when i have discord on my dms

[unique galleon]

It's a Chromium browser with custom stying I believe

Not sure if it's the same on MacOS

[fossil frost]

tbh, even if server is set up well, its still possible to spoof things.. and its also possible that somebody has an access key, or even your password, to your email account, and can send things with full auth, but without those emails ever being saved in your sent items

there are a lot of ways somebody could send emails pretending to be you with varying degrees of validity to the person receiving it

[ionic abyss]

i know i have to get a code via text to log in on a new machine

[unique galleon]

I think that can be bypassed with a token stealer

Like what happened to LTT

[ionic abyss]

wouldnt they need access to my machine?

[fossil frost]

only if they logged in with a method that needs 2FA, one time passwords dont need 2FA

[unique galleon]

They'd need some malware on it

[fossil frost]

no

[unique galleon]

But it's unlikely that's what happened

[ionic abyss]

only thins was https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner/graphics-cards

before it started

ill grab spybot search and destroy and run a scan

what a pain

i guess its time to fresh install windows for good measure

or will that not be needed

viruses/malware are no fun

also it is just one of the emails i use on this pc

both were accessed so i doubt mal ware

or would that be a false assumption

[polar fern]

iPhone 15 pro with a speck presidio 2 pro case.

that’s what Linus should get

[ionic abyss]

so linus can afford it

[polar fern]

why not give him a very premium chinese?

[polar fern]

I stand by my recommendation.

cool for, not use your tv remote

[ionic abyss]

here im worrying about real issues not a phone

[harsh quartz]

tbf a large portion of modern life revolves around being able to keep up and communicate in a reasonable amount of time, so a phone is a real issue depending on your environment, its a first world issue for sure, but still an issue

its boring

[indigo plume]

It's a browser mate

What do u want from it

[harsh quartz]

oh, operagx, i thought you meant like a musical theatre opera

[indigo plume]

I find it runs faster than other chromium based stuff

[harsh quartz]

i was like "i like symphonies but operas suck"

[ionic abyss]

i dont see how only 1 of several emails got used if it was malware

[placid tiger]

I use Opera GX

The Opera haters are just loud about it

The ones who use it are not loud about why we like it XD

[harsh quartz]

i mean, like he already said, its just a browser

[placid tiger]

yeh exactly

[harsh quartz]

just use it like a browser 😛

[placid tiger]

for work i prefer edge

mostly cause work is microsoft connected

[harsh quartz]

im a basic bitch and just use chrome, i had to use edge for some stuff at my last job and hated it

[placid tiger]

lol

i always ran into weird issues on chrome

[harsh quartz]

we had some oracle stuff that only worked in IE compatability mode in edge and it was so bad

weirdly enough ive never had any of those issues on chrome that people talk about, like extreme RAM usage

[indigo plume]

I stopped using gx cuz it seems like it has less extensions than others

[placid tiger]

no it doesnt

it uses the chrome extensions

you can add anything from the chrome extension store

[indigo plume]

I looked up gx store I can find many

Can't

[harsh quartz]

i also dont really understand just using lots and lots of extensions, i think i use 2

[placid tiger]

i dont use a single gx store extension, i get them from chrome store

[indigo plume]

Well I use like 8 or something

[placid tiger]

edge, opera gx and chrome can all use chrome extensions

[harsh quartz]

i use gramarly and honey, and those 2 already annoy me enough, i actually think ive already disabled honey

[indigo plume]

Honey is useless I've never had a relaxing coupon

[placid tiger]

opera gx will say it may not work, but never had a chrome extension not work on it

[indigo plume]

Relevant

its saved me money at least a few times

it works well with amazon pdocuts when it comes to like price tracking

i love cs, i talked and got someone said i sound like an autistic f slur 😭

[keen rover]

Yes it is

[fleet galleon]

oh the glare makes it unreadable

Imma post this 1 month gamepass trial here since there's no way imma use it only works if ur new to it

oh apparently also if you don't cancel they keep charging you after the month so maybe remember that

[harsh quartz]

yeah, like almost every other subscription service

[fleet galleon]

tru i forget subscriptions suck because i have like none

[manic torrent]

... wtf

Are you a monk? I have about a bazillion

[fleet galleon]

I mean I've got a couple Google and Cloudflare domains, discord nitro, a few creators on twitch, floatplane, and patreon I used to have FFXIV sub but dont have the money for it thats about all I can think of.

dont see any need for like music subscriptions or netflix or whatever since ublock and revanced exists and I dont have the mental energy to really ever watch a proper episodic show or stuff like that

[placid tiger]

You can cancel immediately after redeeming and it will let you play until the end of the month trial fyi

[soft swan]

Nah he probably just keeps the ones he needs

There’s way too many

[polar fern]

Mhm

[manic torrent]

[merry gull]

im here because i forgot abt the forum

[ionic abyss]

ill trade for a email that is being spoofed/hacked

[wicked cape]

[polar fern]

No

[strange star]

you too?

[polar fern]

Do a search

Mentions user

[strange star]

for me its only on pc not mobile

[dreamy rose]

sideloading is impotant it wont be an iPhone in a bread case.

it'll maybe be a Galaxy or a Pixel in a bread case tho

[sullen iron]

It sideloads butter

[merry gull]

usb type toaster oven

[polar fern]

Apple doesn’t want their customer service dept be bogged down by people using sketch apps

[merry gull]

to be fair, if someone is sideloading unofficial apps they most likely are aware why it's slow

[polar fern]

Not always

Tide pods fad only involved 40 people

But Apple wouldn’t want to deal with that in terms of tech support

[carmine light]

Where's the rum-ham!?

[polar fern]

No.

[graceful burrow]

Me rn watching bread on my bread tv

[inner epoch]

Why does my cpu spontaneously combust when I run gmod

[graceful burrow]

Garry himself is starting a little campfire to keep himself warm it's cold out

[past egret]

because gmod optimization is shit

[inner epoch]

It also specifically hates multiplayer

Idk if it's my hardware or it dosen't like linux. It just crashes instantly

[manic torrent]

my bread. RIP.

[graceful burrow]

[gaunt cave]

How close is too close to 4k TV? Like I know about viewing angle etc but is there a minimum safe distance beyond that? I'm 40" away from a 43" 4k 4c

[harsh quartz]

I Dread Dead Bread

[inner epoch]

Nothing is too close

Become one with the machine

[manic torrent]

Lol. I use a 48" OLED at my desk.

[gaunt cave]

geez how deep is your desk?

i was having a dickens of a time findinga desk deep enough for 43"

[manic torrent]

It seems normal to me

[inner epoch]

What

[manic torrent]

Ok Macklemore

[gaunt cave]

oh extra wide, nice. ok sounds good then. I'm used to pre LCD/LED when sitting too close used to be bad for your eyes etc

[manic torrent]

No it's 16:9. It has a 27" either side.

[harsh quartz]

Achievement Hunter is dead 😦

[graceful burrow]

Didn't know they were still even alive

[harsh quartz]

Not really, for a long time, whole different people now, but the channel is archived and officially dead, just thought it was sad

[eternal axle]

May i intrest you in #linux

[carmine light]

You ever think like, wouldn't it be weird if people treated irl public like public spaces on the internet? Like just people randomly sticking pictures of themselves everywhere.

[acoustic ruin]

😂

Anyone willing to check #off-topic and tell me please

[graceful burrow]

its only existed for like 2

[carmine light]

I got in on the ground floor then

wtf where'd it go? Don't tease me like that

You guys wanna see something kinda neat?

[manic torrent]

I have trigger finger. The cause? Literally playing too much starfield.

[elfin jetty]

How is it?

[manic torrent]

tringer finger? do not recommend. Starfield? heaps of fun.

[carmine light]

It's like Fallout on crack in space

[elfin jetty]

Kek

[manic torrent]

pretty much

[elfin jetty]

I might give it a go

[carmine light]

I'm gonna show you anyway

I was messing around with Topaz Labs AI frame interpolation tools with this series of screenshots I took in Starfield. It's crazy what it can do. It took that choppy series of shots and made pretty smooth results.

Not a real good use-case presented there, but I was just messing around with it

[manic torrent]

That's pretty cool

[slim creek]

would be good for making edits

[elfin jetty]

casually catching a ride with the NCPD

not a care in the world

[polar fern]

I really wish people would stop calling it artificial intelligence, because that is not what it is

[carmine light]

That's just the name of the app. Topaz Lab's Topaz Video Ai

[polar fern]

Yeah, I’m aware, they name it all kinds of things

Algorithmic modelling within parameters is not creative, and it is not intelligent

[carmine light]

It's so cool having all these legit Ai apps and tools available now. The creative possibilites are endless

[polar fern]

Again, there is no artificial intelligence it’s algorithmic modelling

[carmine light]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. You can slow it way down and it doesn't get blurry at all, so it has a lot of latitude for edits

It's just nuts what these artifically intelligent apps can do these days

[polar fern]

You may be too young to realise this, but people have been talking about “artificial intelligence “since the 1980s. The computational power and software required to do anything close to what we would consider actual artificial intelligence is decades away at the current pace.

At this stage, it’s basically a toy for people with money to burn

I mean, just look at the power consumption of one of these computational cards and the price. It’s nowhere near realistic outside of a few fringe cases for things like deep data research and algorithmic modelling to look for patterns in ancient texts and things along those lines

[carmine light]

Ye it's pretty neat. Artificial intelligence is definitely here to stay. It's crazy that it's all developing so quickly too

[polar fern]

Right, but it’s not artificial intelligence

What you are calling artificial intelligence is the automotive equivalent to the “intelligence” required for anti-lock brakes.

[carmine light]

What a time to be alive. I can't believe I'm living in the artificial intelligence age.

[manic torrent]

Building the models, sure. Running them not so much. I can do real time inference on my cheap T400.

[polar fern]

Yeah, with multiple plagues going on governments collapsing, and the world turning into an absolute unstable nightmare. Yes, a wonderful time to be alive.

[manic torrent]

I have a list of events of people and cars seen on the cameras around my house. It alerts if someone is at the door.

[carmine light]

Man it's so cool knowing I can run legitimate artificial intelligence software technology on my home PC. We really are living in the future.

[polar fern]

Hate to break it to you but we don’t have a future - not unless drastic changes take place

[manic torrent]

The future is inevitable

By definition

[polar fern]

[carmine light]

With advances in AI technology, soon we'll be able to completely replicate the genius of someone like George Carlin. It's incredible what Ai can do.

[slim creek]

not really

[carmine light]

I created this with AI just now

It's incredible

Ai can really do anything you put it's mind to

[vapid cypress]

Holy shit this is gold

Tho the other faces look different

[carmine light]

They're poorly made clones

that was part of the prompt lol

[vapid cypress]
