[peak phoenix]

Well, somewhere you are getting an issue.

[dull tapir]

almost always downloading from microsoft files are inconsistent

[fossil frost]

the medium in which the packets travel is irrelevant... they can lose 100s of packets in switching at their switching centres

[dull tapir]

as i said each time i download iso it is different size

only happens on microsoft website

[fossil frost]

try and do the same thing over a vpn and put yourself in a different country

[peak phoenix]

Was thinking the same thing.

[dull tapir]

i do not have vpn

[fossil frost]

its possible there is a routing issue between your isp and MSs servers

[dull tapir]

i downloaded ubuntu 10 times as a test

[fossil frost]

use a tunnelbear free trial or something like that

[dull tapir]

and 10 times files were all the same

[peak phoenix]

Doesn't disprove the idea that there's some routing issue.

[dull tapir]

for microsoft iso they were always different sizes

so it is only my routing issue towards microsoft

[fossil frost]

is ubuntu on the MS servers, that are in a different data centre, that will have entirely different routing to the ubuntu servers?

[peak phoenix]

That is absolutely a possibility

[dull tapir]

ofc they are from a different server

this is what i am suggesting only lost packages happen from microsoft

[fossil frost]

MS opperate their own data centres, so, that is entirely possible that your ISP doesnt give them priority, or could even have misconfigured priority routing for MS

[peak phoenix]

A lot of it used to be AKAMAI. Not sure what it is these days.

[fossil frost]

so... get a free trial of some VPN from somewhere (tunnelbear is easy to set up), and download the ISO over that, and check it

[fossil frost]

amazon s3 or amazon's other CDN offerings, or even azure cdn too... they are CHEAP

[dull tapir]

i doubt vpn would fix it since it still goes through same router

[peak phoenix]

I don't think we ever used AWS. It was akamai or in house IIRC.

[fossil frost]

routing at the isp level has nothing to do with your router... and using a VPN changes which path through the various networks of the internet

[peak phoenix]

but my knowledge there is now several years out of date

[dull tapir]

all my mates have backup drives of old windows iso files of ones that actually work because this is always an issue

[fossil frost]

ok, so, we are offering you a solution, or at least an avenue to test if it is you or MS with the issue... but you wont consider trying it and are coming up with excuses to not try it... if you KNEW it was MS, you would try it to prove us wrong, but you arent willing to try it, suggests to me you know its NOT MS and you dont want to be proven wrong

[dull tapir]

well it is not my fault if networks are broken

they are not from my end

[vapid zephyr]

Tremble in terror as I eat my pancake with ketchup

[dull tapir]

technically that means their redistribution of software is poor

[fossil frost]

no, it means whoever runs your ISP is incompetent

[peak phoenix]

As an example:

You -- Router -- server -- server -- server -- server -- server -- server -- MSFT Slovenia CDN

You -- encrypt -- Router -- Ireland VPN -- decrpyt, dump back on internet -- server -- server -- Ireland CDN

A VPN allows you to effectively "bypass" interference from the intermediate steps.

[peak phoenix]

Or some intermediate step along the way

[dull tapir]

so all countries with people having these problems are incompetent and microsoft is holy grail

[peak phoenix]

I...

omg

[fossil frost]

i give up, you have decided its microsofts problem, we have tried to help you, you are not willing to be helped... feel free to keep having a shit experience instead of accepting that it could be fixed quite easily

[dull tapir]

if only microsoft servers are a problem and no linux servers have ever been a problem yes

it is our problem never microsoft

[dull tapir]

yes this is why i switched to linux back

as many people did

windows fanboys are worse than apple fanboys

you were never trying to help you were just trying to win in an argument

[peak phoenix]

I take offense at this ffs.

[dull tapir]

why would anyone get offended by company

it is not even your life

[peak phoenix]

I'm offended by your not listening and calling me a fanboy when I've tried to be helpful and made clear I have no love for MSFT.

[manic torrent]

kek this is hilarious. I've been a linux user for 25+ years

[dull tapir]

did i call you fanboy

i said fanboys are in general

[barren apex]

so i just got here - would me teaching him how to make a tails bootstick or whonix vm help

[peak phoenix]

I'm sitting here on a Endeavour install. I'm busy shoving Arch into a M1 Parallels VM as painful as it's been.

[dull tapir]

i am saying there is nothing i can do even if networks in the middle are at fault

[peak phoenix]

You insinuated.

[dull tapir]

not you directly

[barren apex]

i dont remember why but my brother insisted on me making blackarch linux his boot os like 10 years ago

[peak phoenix]

I've dealt with this exact problem. It absolutely IS something you can deal with. You lodge a complaint with your ISP.

You give them traces

[fossil frost]

windows fanboy? im trying to diagnose and resolve an issue that you are having that you are too stupid to resolve yourself so just blamed microsoft... as for being a fanboy, i have 1 windows machine in my house, and 3 linux machines, so by weight of installs alone, i would be considered a linux user more than a windows user... and if we count android as linux (because it is), that comes to 1:5

[dull tapir]

they are extremely rude and even refuse to listen to anything you tell them if you call them for complaint they hang up on you

but they are monopoly so they have power over the market since they are government regulated

[neon mesa]

this

many times when ISP's routing is on a shitty time using a VPN improves my connection drastically

like the only reason i'm subbed to a VPN lel

[dull tapir]

you are not able to control your isp

when they are a monopoly

[fossil frost]

yes you are, you use a vpn

that allows you to then choose where you are routed through

[peak phoenix]

I forget if you can direct WU traffic through a VPN.

[dull tapir]

vpn has very minor impact

you still use original service provider

[peak phoenix]

There are some calls that bypass all user network configuration IIRC

[neon mesa]

i had first hand experience
it makes a big impact if the route is bad

like when i play roblox without a VPN when the routing is bad, i get a whooping 1700ms ping

[peak phoenix]

You'd have to redirect WU traffic at the router level I think.

At least, WU can bypass proxies.

[fossil frost]

everyone else disagrees with you, and, you wouldnt know, because you have chosen to ignore the advice

[neon mesa]

and only 80ms with a VPN

sometimes steam download speed gets affected too

[peak phoenix]

nonsense.

[neon mesa]

but thankfully, my ISP got their shit together and now i rarely need my VPN

[peak phoenix]

VPNs are good to have on hand for security reasons too.

Unsecured or untrusted wifi network? Turn on the VPN and then they can't snoop.

[gentle slate]

I finally learned how to enjoy the 4x genre

[fossil frost]

i mostly use my VPN to take advantage of "local pricing" and buy xbox games from Argentina 😄

[gentle slate]

I was simply playing shallow games!

[neon mesa]

i pay for youtube premium in rupees and i'm "definitely" from india

yep, no lie

[dull tapir]

just because your boyfriends are online at this time

[fossil frost]

EA FC 24, £70 in the uk... £24 in argentina... i have 3 kids, with 3 xboxes, with 3 accounts... fuck paying £70 each for that

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585>s personal attacks

[dull tapir]

vpn will just slow down your internet speed

[neon mesa]

1.50 buck for youtube premium

[dull tapir]

you are offended for insulting

real mature

[neon mesa]

steam is already cheap on my local currency so i don't really use it for that

[fossil frost]

im just pointing out to the mods that you are breaking the server rules

[neon mesa]

and steam is strict af with regional abuse

[gentle slate]

linux bad mkay

[fossil frost]

steam is strict with it, MS give zero fucks

[gentle slate]

it doesnt run my super niche 2003 browser game

[peak phoenix]

They said XBox games so I don't thinkt hey meant Steam.

[neon mesa]

i meant me

[peak phoenix]

I think Steam is good about locking games to regions

[gentle slate]

steam should give bulgaria regional pricing

a 60 EUR game ends up being about 2 days of working

[dull tapir]

actually i am not

[peak phoenix]

Isn't Linux MORE likely to work with an ancient browser game?

[dull tapir]

you are just being defensive

[gentle slate]

no coz the javascript it uses isnt supported by wine

[peak phoenix]

You are...

#public-chat message

[fossil frost]

rule 2, yes you are

[gentle slate]

thus 99% of the servers break.

its IE dependent

[peak phoenix]

Of course it's IE...the turd that keeps on....turding.

[gentle slate]

Proton-GE might actually support it but I cant find someone to test it.

and I cba setting linux up just to potentially return to windows

[peak phoenix]

but javascript should work. Do you mean activex?

[gentle slate]

I have zero clue what antiquated dinosaur tech that game uses

[peak phoenix]

What game

[gentle slate]

Space Station 13

[west oar]

is it ok to run a 4080 on a pcie 3.0 riser cable?

[polar fern]

Soon ™️

[gentle slate]

x3d?

OH SHIT thanks for reminding me to fill out the return form for my 5700x

[neon mesa]

no 3d v-cache sign on it

[polar fern]

5700x

[summer folio]

13:37!

[gentle slate]

oh shit nice

[polar fern]

Ye

[gentle slate]

I got that one rn. But i got a free upgrade to a 5800x3d so im returning this one

im swapping cpus like tissues

[polar fern]

I originally thought I wasn’t going to have a graphics card for many many months, but someone ended up buying one for me out of the blue after looking at a wish list I had so now the 7500G does not really have a purpose

[peak phoenix]

https://lutris.net/games/byond/

Works just fine, except on servers using the newer TGUI such as TGStation. Even then you will still be able to play the game, you just can't use any GUI's, including NtOS.

This is because IE11 is required to render these interfaces, and Wine only supports up to IE8. But a fix is most likely coming for this. Stay tuned...

Dunno if you need TGUI

[gentle slate]

yeah and practically every populated server is a TG fork

[dull tapir]

this does not correlate

[gentle slate]

Paradise is a downstream from tg, Eris uses tg, CM is moving over to tg.

[dull tapir]

to what i said at all

[polar fern]

?

[gentle slate]

and yeah in a nutshell TG is 90% of the servers

[peak phoenix]

So likely still going to be an issue then.

[gentle slate]

btw how come wine hasnt been updated to ie11?

[peak phoenix]

No clue.

[gilded forge]

Google skits > Apple skits
https://youtu.be/vExUNjPQOVg?si=LlaUEXATwi6M56Qh

[peak phoenix]

Looks like they're faking IE via a Gecko browser?

[gentle slate]

Yeah theyve been doing a buncha updating. making it sleeker and more responsive

[peak phoenix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SS13/comments/10qc2h0/want_to_try_getting_byond_working_on_wine/

Would need to look at the detectoid for those packages and trick it into thinking they're present

[gentle slate]

Ohh. fancy

[polar fern]

Made by Google? More like made by Lee Ching.

[peak phoenix]

There's likely a way to figure it out...I might be able to if I spent enough time even...so I think it's POSSIBLE....

but the fact that it's not done yet makes me think the use case for IE11 on Wine is low

That said...it's a browser game. Does it work in a VM?

[polar fern]

Schrodinger’s web app

It really depends on the site and the game

[peak phoenix]

Yeah. Just tossing the idea out there if there's really a desire to move to Linux and that game is the reason to stay on Windows

I get staying on Windows because of Valorant...but a browser game seems ripe for testing in a VM

also there's dual booting....though on separate drives since windows update will happily wreck your bootloader

[polar fern]

That’s why I have an intel Mac and a PC.

[peak phoenix]

My intel mac from my employer can eff off and croak

I want it to diieeeeeeeee

[polar fern]

The one I have is the 2018 Mac mini. Has the i5

Only 8 gig ram, tho I plan to change that to 32 gig

[peak phoenix]

I have a 2019 macbook with 16GB. Intellij and large JSON files make it cry

[polar fern]

Rip

[peak phoenix]

Coworkers with M1 macbooks with the same RAM size by comparison don't have issues...

[polar fern]

On-die memory & storage does that

I would much rather have an option for expansion of memory and storage

Computers are not phones and you should be able to upgrade them over time to meet new demands

Texas instruments? I was writing stuff for those in the 90s

[calm swan]

its crazy yeah

[summer nova]

You heard me it’s 10gbps instead of 6

[manic torrent]

the data data cable is only 6?

[trim dawn]

who want free mwiii beta code

[calm swan]

i have fkn pokemon yellow on mine

[summer folio]

Swedish State bought NFT for 30k lmao

[fossil frost]

whats a data data cable?

[summer nova]

It autocorrected from sata data

[summer nova]

Sata data is only 6

[hearty spear]

*the SATA Interface is 6Gpbs
The cable likely supports much higher speeds

So a live linux USB? 🙂

if you're gonna do that, don't use a USB Stick, get a USB SSD.

A 256-512 NVME + A USB Enclosure for access

not reliably in the long run.

USB Sticks have a habit of dying unexpectedly

[summer nova]

I guarantee they don’t overbuild the cables for shits and giggles

[manic torrent]

it's ok to say that you don't know shit about fuck

[summer nova]

Ok, I guess sata data isn’t 6gb/s

[hearty spear]

most SATA cables from SATA 2 run fine at 6. It's not overbuilding, it's that some of these speeds are not hard to handle in a short wire

[manic torrent]

sata is 6gb/s but proposing we use USB 10gb/s internally is a hilarious take

[fossil frost]

sata cables are not rated to 6gbps, the sata protocol, and controllers, and everything except the cables, is 6gbps

[summer nova]

You realize usb c has an internal connector right?

Did I ever say external usb c?

[manic torrent]

it shows you know absolutely nothing about signalling, cables, protocols, overhead, controllers

[hearty spear]

6GBPS on an 18" cable is /really/ easy to run. There's a reason CAT6 can do 10gbps over short distances, too.

[manic torrent]

did I ?

[fossil frost]

you realise that M.2 is an internal connector too, and is rated for 16gbps, which ls larger than 6 and 10

[summer nova]

Oh this clown again

This guy is an expert on everything

[manic torrent]

I mean I quite literally am.

[summer nova]

All you are is a clown

[manic torrent]

Out of the two of us, one has implemented USB devices.

[hearty spear]

I don't see him making stupid claims, that seems to be your job today.

[fossil frost]

on this stuff, yes, he is, its his job, and has been for a while

[manic torrent]

and understands protocol design

[summer nova]

What stupid claims lol

[hearty spear]

like this

[fossil frost]

using usb-c for internal connections, rather than a more appropriate connections

also claiming that sata cables only support 6gbps, when the cables could probably support 60gbps.... and its the controllers that have the limitation

all you have done is demonstrated that you dont understand how sata or usb or anything like either, work at all

[summer nova]

I like how you guys are claiming that sata cables could do so much more, yet you have zero evidence to support it

[hearty spear]

Remember how nearly all properly made USB 1 Cables just worked as USB 2 running at 20x the speed of USB 1?

Guess what: LOTS OF SHIT DOES THAT

[fossil frost]

they are simple passive copper cables... like a lot of other things of the same length and same quality that do 6000gbps... so, yes

[hearty spear]

Cat5? Designed for 100mbps networking
Does 1gbps just fine (with some limitation on distance)

Cat5e? Will run on 2.5Gbps

[fossil frost]

ive used cat5 with 10g 🙂 over short distances (30cm)

[hearty spear]

I wouldn't be shocked. (I wouldn't rely on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked)

[devout oar]

Then what browser(s) do you propose to be used instead? I'm curious as to what you recommend, since I want to eventually stop using Chrome.

[summer nova]

You still have no evidence to support your claims lol

[manic torrent]

uhhhhh

also do you understand what "10gbps" and "6gbps" really mean?

because it is not that simple.

[hearty spear]

wtf do you consider evidence if not "Real world examples of things that did exactly what you're fucking talking about"

[summer nova]

It’s bandwidth

[summer nova]

Testing the actual speeds the cable is capable of

[manic torrent]

total bus bandwidth at full utilisation. including overheads.

and that's the bandwidth of the bus

[jaunty compass]

Tldr you're not actually going to get 6 gigabit in the real world lol

[manic torrent]

you want 6x10gig USB ports, you'll need 6 USB controllers

[summer nova]

True

[hearty spear]

and some PCIE Lanes to run that many controllers without bottlenecking

[jaunty compass]

You'll get maybe 500 megabyte per second transfer speeds on a 6 gigabit bus

Assuming You're using an ssd

[fossil frost]

and a cpu with the lanes needed to connect that many real pcie lanes to those controllers without going through the "lanes" in the chipset

[hearty spear]

so, xeon or threadripper or epyc

[dense mango]

Need some tech help. Do I make a thread in like #1027757333117415424?

[summer nova]

I don’t understand how these 0 cables for internal usbc to sata

I’m surprised

[devout oar]

Yes.

[hearty spear]

and honestly: SATA's actually really impressive for running 6gbps on what's only 4 data pins.

[manic torrent]

I'm not. Probably because I understand how sata and USB work.

[fossil frost]

Internal sata headers are a thing, which is why nobody makes internal usb to sata

[summer nova]

So explain to me why they make external usb c to sata

[hearty spear]

you could run 2 SATA Drives off a USB header... it'd be stupid, but you could.

[hearty spear]

because portable high speed storage is useful?

[manic torrent]

so you can plug drives in and because esata died?

[fossil frost]

Because people want drives they can move around, externally

[hearty spear]

internal storage isn't portable, so why TF would they put it on a usb header?

[summer nova]

So it’s faster?

[hearty spear]

esata never really even walked. It kinda just went fart

[summer nova]

I have a case that still has E sata lol

It also had FireWire

[hearty spear]

a SATA Drive doesn't get faster on a USB header, duh

[summer nova]

Actually it can lol

[manic torrent]

no, it can't.

[hearty spear]

There's still a SATA 6gb controller on the drive. It's not gonna spontaneously run at 10gbps

[fossil frost]

no, a 6gbit sata drive connected to a 10 or 20gbit USB-C 3.2whatever port, is still limited by the 6gbit controller on the sata drive

the controller is the limitation, not the cable

[manic torrent]

some modern drives talk native USB, however I'd be very surprised if they could actually go faster.

[fossil frost]

nvme drives with the correct usb controller, usually expensive

[hearty spear]

if they're trying to make it go faster, they'd probably use a NVME to USB chipset, instead of SATA

[fossil frost]

pcie over usb, with an nvme

[manic torrent]

no I'm talking spinning disks - I don't know of any native USB high speed SSDs

[manic torrent]

aka USB4/thunderbolt

[hearty spear]

there's no spinning disks that are saturating 600MBps on their own

[dense mango]

Ok I made a thread, if someone would be nice enough I'd like some help. https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1161660272646303784

Shiit firefox finally got built in page translate

[royal cosmos]

i used to use firefox. but now it crap. i move to brave now. google chrome take too much of my ram

[gilded forge]

Firefox (or LibreWolf or IceRaven) on Windows, Arc on MacOS (until it releases on Windows)

I use Firefox on Windows and Iceraven on mobile

[gentle slate]

its.. amazing wym?

I've had no issues with it

[royal cosmos]

firefox always crash for me. i tried to fix it multiple of times. i was like fuck it ill do move to somewhere else. Ill start working on brave and ive been with brave now for a year or more

[gentle slate]

brave felt bloated .-.

[golden owl]

Never had an issue with firefox. FF is actually one of the only browsers I've found that let me stream video without it being a black screen too

[royal cosmos]

kinda of. sometimes.

[royal cosmos]

thats one thing that i miss about firefox

[lilac bear]

also that, the ability to screen share without any issues at all

[gentle slate]

blegh brave has a fucking crypto wallet

Aand my favorite functions from firefox are already missing. Cant open new tab with middle click

[golden owl]

Anyone else use multiple browsers? I use opera separately for work

[gentle slate]

I just use firefox on everything. Mobile too

[gilded forge]

I have Chromium for when something for school or something I'm trying to do ONLY works on Chromium-based browsers.

[gentle slate]

Mobile firefox kinda shit but the synced bookmarks are nice

[wispy marsh]

Hello ltt

When should I repaste my gpu?

[gentle slate]

when it starts overheating

[wispy marsh]

It's already overheating

[gentle slate]

also make sure its not caked in dust

[golden owl]

Is it getting air?

[lilac bear]

adblocker bro

[golden owl]

Wait doesn't like every browser sync bookmarks

[wispy marsh]

A lot of air

Just massively inappropriate thickness of thermal pads

[distant tide]

I use chrome on my desktop (It just works well and has good compatibility with everything), Opera on my MacBook (I like the built in AI assistant for when I can have a window with chat GPT open because of the size of the screen), and Vivaldi on my phone (I really like the mobile app it's super well made in my opinion).

[wind pulsar]

So you use Chrome, Safari and Chrome, alright

[distant tide]

Yeah basically. They're just heavily customized versions of chromium right?

[wind pulsar]

Vivaldi is a Chromium browser and on MacOS basically every single browser is built ontop of Safari, yuh

[gilded forge]

i think everythig on iOS is on Webkit as well

[distant tide]

Huh. I thought most browsers were based off chromium.

Even on Mac

[gentle slate]

firefox cant sync with chrome

[hearty spear]

It can copy over, but doesn't live sync

[distant tide]

Firefox isn't based off chromium so that kind of makes sense

[hearty spear]

basically the only browser of significance not based on chromium

[distant tide]

Yeah pretty much.

[gentle slate]

ngl I wish they could sync

Chrome is somother on mobile than firefox

but I like firefox on PC

[distant tide]

Other than safari

[hearty spear]

apple crap doesn't count. it doesn't exist.

[distant tide]

Yeah safari isn't great

[golden owl]

I meant between itself like firefox on desktop syncing with mobile

[gilded forge]

Internet Explorer and Edge weren't based on Chromium.

[distant tide]

Edge is

[hearty spear]

Edge has been chromium for 3-4 years now. IE is dead and has been for a decade.

[gilded forge]

Edge 1.0

[hearty spear]

Not a browser of consequence anymore, now is it?

If you wanna go that way, Opera wasn't chromium either, but it is now.

[gentle slate]

oh nah that works perfect

[gilded forge]

anything before 2008 wasn't chromium

[gentle slate]

I just dont like mobile firefox

[distant tide]

Opera's mobile app isn't too great. The desktop app is really good though.

Vivaldi is really good on mobile

[hearty spear]

and what the fuck is your point?

[gilded forge]

Iceraven is more bearable, but it still isn't extremely smooth.

[golden owl]

Ngl best mobile browser I've used is safari. As far as design and feel

[gilded forge]

thats...objectively wrong

[gentle slate]

my requirements for a browser are a sleek minimalist ui, robust bookmarks, working css files to remove the new tab and close tab buttons, middle click for close and new tab and.. Thats it!

[gilded forge]

im not paying $10 for a fucking ad blocker

[golden owl]

People pay for that??

[distant tide]

Vivaldi

[gentle slate]

vivaldi is a buggy mess

[gilded forge]

pretty much every single one of safar's extensions are paid.

[gentle slate]

you cant ctrl t if a twitch chat box is active. It allows websites to override its shortcuts

[golden owl]

You don't really need it if you use pihole though right

[gilded forge]

uh..no. Vivaldi isn't "minimalist." Vivaldi has the single most cluttered UI ive seen in a browser ever.

[hearty spear]

on your home network, sure. but that doesn't help if you're not at home.

[distant tide]

Ok alright maybe not.

[gentle slate]

oh yeah I went to the vivaldi disc to ask for support and workarounds to that bug. 5 minutes of people questioning if I am even experiencing that bug, 2 people told me to just rebind it, then "idk"

[golden owl]

Heare me out. What if you VPN to your home network while out and about

[gilded forge]

yes but realistically, you're using Safari on an iPhone right..? a device which doesnt ever have to be connected to wifi to work.

[hearty spear]

I won't use safari on anything, cuz fuck apple. lolol

[distant tide]

Safari is not great...

[hearty spear]

Some of apple's stuff might actually be technologically good. Apple Silicon is awesome, and I can't say it's not.

But fuck apple.

[ripe mirage]

is there any smart Engineering big boi here ?? cuz i need halp

[gilded forge]

that's if you live somewhere with a strong enough connection/speed. me, I live in a rural place where I get about 20-50 Mbps.

[hearty spear]

*hear
I mean, if you really want to be that tryhard you can make almost anything work.

[distant tide]

No doubt apple silicon is amazing, but a lot of their things are counterintuitive or messy.

[gilded forge]

good hardware is useless if the software can't compensate with all that power.

[gentle slate]

yk. Brave feels surprisingly sluggish wtf

[golden owl]

Ye it's one of those "I only did it bc I could, no real reason" ideas

[hearty spear]

ask the question, and see if you get an answer. engineering is a very very very broad subject

[ripe mirage]

i meant engineering mechanics

[golden owl]

What's the question

[ripe mirage]

how can i send it here tho ?

[hearty spear]

are you asking for homework help?

[ripe mirage]

i found answer

for the question i just have doubt if its correct

i can show u the steps and how i did it i just need to know if its how to do it

[wispy marsh]

I'm going to have to interject for Apple a little bit

[tired glade]

Have fun

[golden owl]

Coincidentally I'm switch from apple to samsung today

Excited to have third party app access once more

[hearty spear]

apple makes some good stuff, but is a shit company that treats consumers worse than most other corps.
(which isn't a high bar to reach)

[tired glade]

You won't make a Trillion on just good products

The common scammers don't have the skills or tools required to "invisibly" sideload certificates and apps from within webapps or even unpatched exploits in apps inside of iPhones

[hearty spear]

you figure out how to run a tech cult, and then make the trillion dollahaz

[tired glade]

Pegasus still a thing for iPhone

[wispy marsh]

My security knowledge is fading fast like my youth, but yeah

I trust apple more just because there aren't many people who would and could OTA hijack my banking app sessions

[tired glade]

Also,there 20million sell of day one vulnerability right now for Android and iOS

[fierce moth]

Ooo, two days till my birthday

[tired glade]

30 years plan

[tired glade]

Almost there

[wispy marsh]

Happy birthday mate

I have like 10k in my bank

Not even enough to pay off anything that I have on contract or mortgage right now

[hearty spear]

okay, and? WTF does that have to do with fucking anything?

[fierce moth]

[tired glade]

Oh, right, I should left 5k for apple headset

[wispy marsh]

I assume that it does, but then again, I might be just hoping for a little bit more

[tired glade]

Is 10k a lot nowadays?

[wispy marsh]

Not really

[hearty spear]

to most people, yes

[wispy marsh]

Just this year we had a young officer shoot himself in the head because he lost 10k

[tired glade]

Depression pandemic still on us

[wispy marsh]

I digress

[fierce moth]

Well with 10k I could build a 1% pc

[golden owl]

It's a lot to an individual/family, despite the recent devaluation of the currency

[fierce moth]

Some of my clients are failed attempts and I do prosthetic

[fierce moth]

Most of the news I've seen locally are about scams of people going about their life, they just happen to use an android phone and something happens in the background

[tired glade]

Android is about 80% telecommunications devices on planet, you know

[wispy marsh]

It probably is

It's just that the general lack of security awareness/knowledge that gets people

[tired glade]

Also, Apple is better, but most scams still phone call

[golden owl]

Isn't the whole iPhone being majority thing mostly a US thing

[wispy marsh]

Oh, our government has this really amazing spy app where they record your calls and messages

Thanks to that, I have fewer scam calls

[tired glade]

Scandinavian,Japan and China

Everything else on planet is mainly android

[wispy marsh]

I'm in Far Southeast Asia and we have a lot of iPhone users here particularly amongst the young

I like using 1y-old iPhones from the used market because the first year depreciation is extremely harsh on iPhones

[tired glade]

If you want truth about android vs iPhone debate - both are terrible options

[wispy marsh]

Personally I like how MKBHD presents it

[tired glade]

I hate both

[golden owl]

True, just go back to Windows phone right?

[wispy marsh]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1161687837024993470

I just installed a new CPU and this came up

[wispy marsh]

Oh wow the nivea body moisturising cream smells really good

[wispy marsh]

1. Do you have your boot drive locked with bitlocker or any tpm-reliant drive encryption tool

If $1
2. Do you have your bitlocker or decryption code?

If $2
3. Press Y

If not $1 press Y

[dense mango]

Solved.

Marshmallow helped me

[wispy marsh]

It would've sent you into a panic if you've bitlocker locked your boot drive

Usually happens with firmware upgrades, too

[dense mango]

bada bim, bada boom. my PC is LIGHTNING FAST now

damn i never seen it open up a browser this fast

takes like 3 seconds to open, now it's like 0.2

New CPU is awesome

made my Mhz on my memory to 3600 too

[wispy marsh]

Nice

Now go forth... and

https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4 OC Guide.md

[dense mango]

it'll be fine~

BIOS says it is, then it is

5 hours

trying to solve this new CPU BS.

my hands hurt from lifting the Tower up and down, and screwing the CPU fan in and out like 20 times

[zinc oracle]

What CPU did you get?

[wispy marsh]

Do you have a high-precision ratcheting screwdriver?

[dense mango]

nope

just one of them 8 in 1 screw drivers

[dense mango]

I knew it

[wispy marsh]

I want one but I don't have one

[dense mango]

Ryzen 5 2400G to Ryzen 5 5500

[dense mango]

same, too poor

[wispy marsh]

Oh nice

I have a low~mid end build too

[zinc oracle]

Nice, I just upgraded from r5 2400 to the 3600 last week lol

[zinc oracle]

What GPU?

[wispy marsh]

I started off with 3700X, then went to 5600X

[dense mango]

I wanted to get a 5600X too

[dull tapir]

why x

[dense mango]

But Im like what? 30-60 dollars short

[zinc oracle]

Oced out of box

Higher clocks

[dull tapir]

it often just heats more with barely any more performance

i have 7600 and 6950xt

[zinc oracle]

ik, I'm not saying that their a good deal, you can usually just oc a non x to perform the same

What's a good upgrade from my 1080?

[dull tapir]

yes this is why i wonder why so many people get x

[dull tapir]

depends on budget and what you are aiming for

i recently went from 8400 and 1080 to 7600 and 6950xt

[zinc oracle]

Probably under $300, 1080p 144hz ultra.

[dull tapir]

i would not go under 3070

[zinc oracle]

I also need to get a new monitor so on the cheaper side would be better

[dull tapir]

but then again 1080 is still decent

only reason why i sold my 1080 was

because i switched to 1440p

[zinc oracle]

How much do 1080s go for?

[dull tapir]

i sold my 1080 for 170 eur

few days ago

[zinc oracle]

I mean, how much could I sell mine for? It's a founders edition if that means anything

[dull tapir]

depends on the country

you know your market

[zinc oracle]

Sorry bad mobile connection

[true thunder]

is the zalman z10 plus good

[wispy marsh]

X just gives it to 'em

[dull tapir]

just because of the name

[zinc oracle]

The x at the end just hits hard

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, X gon' give it to ya

[dull tapir]

gonna give you what extra letter

[wispy marsh]

[halcyon rapids]

should have sold it to me 😭

i need one so badly

its 350 euros here

[vapid cypress]

Buy something else

[dull tapir]

gpus here were also very expensive and still are

gotten a bit better in the past year

like 6950xt is 931eur here so i got 6950xt from germany for 599eur

[halcyon rapids]

recommend me a cheap amd card that supports 3600x

[dull tapir]

if you want similar to 1080 you could get 6600

[wispy marsh]

Vega 64?

I got mine brand new for $222

... back in 2019

[halcyon rapids]

i mean it's okay

it has 11.7% bottleneck

[wispy marsh]

I enabled smart memory access and changed flip queue size to 2 for that system that runs an 8400. My brother says it feels like some new life has been breathed into the system

[dusty rune]

stop using bottleneck calculators

[wispy marsh]

Now, I just need AMD to provide long term support for HAGS drivers

[halcyon rapids]

my friend told me to use it

so I just end up going back to my secret lab chair lmao

[dull tapir]

never going back to racing or gaming chairs

i prefer office chairs much more

used to use a kitchen chair for years

since a lot of chairs kept breaking on me

[indigo plume]

well secret lab chair only chair that fits me

cuz they dont make ergo chairs for tall ppl

ive already tried the aeron embody and steel case v2

returned them all

it looks nice but it is quite expensive and quite stiff

[indigo plume]

only chair ive tried that supports my upper back

[dull tapir]

most chairs are too big for me

[flat stratus]

[indigo plume]

most chairs are far too low

[dull tapir]

i am 5'6 close to 5'7

[wispy marsh]

Ah. I'm a lot shorter than you, so I find the aeron well-fitting

[wispy marsh]

[hearty spear]

Luke's not that tall

[hearty spear]

5'5" ain't that tall

[flat stratus]

[wispy marsh]

I wish I was shorter so I can actually find proper dresses

[indigo plume]

the emobdy was close to fitting me but the natural curve at bottom of chair hurt my lower back

[wispy marsh]

Luke's 6'2 iirc

[dull tapir]

i am fine with my height but it is quite short for males in my country and it is hard finding pants

[hearty spear]

I've got 5" on him

[wispy marsh]

Where is this 5", if I may

[hearty spear]

6'7" 😛

[hearty spear]

I have no idea what luke's got in his pants, nor am I a creeper enough to even want to know.
Cuz that's fuckin' creepy.

[indigo plume]

ive honestly given up finding a chair for my height

[wispy marsh]

I can't imagine being 6'7

It could hit some impressive GHZ that's true

Did those ghz actually help it tho

[long briar]

ofc not lmao

beats out Nvidia's AV1 encoder iirc

[stray apex]

Unlikely

[hearty spear]

Depending: Intel's got a low-profile 6GB GPU for 100$, which is a steal for people on old business systems / cheap PCs

[stray apex]

For AMD it makes more sense to keep focusing on their cpu division

[gilded forge]

i would gladly take that

[hearty spear]

Arc A380 6gb low profile

99 bucks on `Egg right now

[gentle slate]

Should I refund my entire pc and get a 7800x3d system

[golden owl]

7800x3d is a beast

Absolutely worth getting

[stray apex]

Probably not

[gentle slate]

I'll use the 5800x3d a bit first tho

Then I refund it.

another one getting caught out by it

[gilded forge]

its an a-series phone. its already the worst current series of phones. its cheap, but loaded with bloatware and ads.

and no, 120Hz display does not mean a phone is good.

[full fossil]

Is there anything to boost the performance? I am switching from Huawei P20 lite, and my only expectations are getting 20 fps at lowest settings

[gilded forge]

honestly, 120Hz on a phone is a bit overkill. 90Hz is just fine.

[elfin jetty]

Ill take more storage over a better screen tbh

Some phones still cheap out on storage

no..?

[gilded forge]

micro sd cards intended purpose was to expand storage. it did that well.

[dull tapir]

i regret buying xiaomi monitor bar it does not even fit on the monitor total bs

Also wait i didnt know samsung made exynos way back then

Idk why but my micro SD card never got transfered files to, despite selecting it to do so, so I stopped bothering

Any notable differences between A32 and M32?

Other than M32 being infinitely uglier

I still remember the games

[tidal minnow]

Probably.

[gilded quest]

Exynos has been around for a long time
S6 was the first and only use of Exynos globally for the S series (S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note5)

Since the snapdragon 810 was an overheating monster

[tired glade]

But that performance numbers

[gilded forge]

well to be fair, note 7 had exynos as well

[gilded quest]

Exynos probably performed better

Both SoCs were 4x A57 and 4x A53

But exynos was fabbed in house on Samsung 14nm finfet and snapdragon was on TSMC 20nm iirc

Note7 had Qualcomm in the US and probably china

And it was a battery issue, not SoC related anyway

[gilded forge]

the A32 is single-SIM, M32 is dual-SIM. M32 is smaller by about 0.02". the M32 has storage options up to 512 GB. The A32 has facial recognition (as well as fingerprint scanner, same as M32). The M32 has wireless charging and fast charging, the A32 does not.

[tired glade]

Oh, most Snapdragon Vs exynos comprising done without gaming

[long briar]

performance was never the issue

The SD 8G1 is garbage and somehow performs worse than the 7+g2 (which came a year later) in CPU applications because of its thermals

and all data seems to suggest that Samsung fabs are causing the terrible thermals and efficiency

because 8+G1 which is basically the same thing but now back to TSMC is performing MUCH more efficiently

[tired glade]

It's was more about exynos

[long briar]

it's about any SoC samsung fabricates

Exynos doesn't seem to be an issue actually

the design isn't

[tired glade]

Reviews is just about battery life

[long briar]

I wonder why

[tired glade]

Not gaming performance

[long briar]

Samsung efficiency sucked since 2017

compared to qualcomm + TSMC

[tired glade]

It doesn't matter

Everything said about Snapdragon version is applied to Exynos version, Snapdragon just pushing more performance per watt

If anyone in this server is found to be under 13 years old, they are banned and their discord account is reported for a ToS break

[soft swan]

I’ve seen some people that got banned cause they said they were like 12

[mint yacht]

Simple

[full fossil]

even if you joke about it you can be banned

[soft swan]

From a server yea

[mint yacht]

And we have ways of figuring out which accounts are alts

[full fossil]

discord itself too

[sonic spruce]

So I know the gtx 960 is bad for 1080p gaming, is the gtx 1660 super good for 1080p gaming or no?

[soft swan]

Better discord is also banned but........ 💀

[sonic spruce]

0?

[median rose]

oh shoot, sorry'

[lapis solstice]

But how do you find out someone's under 13

[soft swan]

1080 better

[median rose]

It's good, I have used it for a few years. I prefer it

[soft swan]

Gigatexel

[mint yacht]

Usually they slip up and it's of their own admission lol

[sonic spruce]

I didn’t mention the gtx 1080?

[prime solstice]

They say their age for example “ I’m 12 “

[soft swan]

Yes but it’s better and usually for the same price

[tidal minnow]

My friend thinking I'm taking about airbus when I say a380 a750 a580 a770 etc.

[soft swan]

1660 super is pretty vram limited too

[median rose]

I slapped my keyboard trying to type lol

[sonic spruce]

Yes but they still make gtx 1660 super new with 3 year warranties

I can get a 1080 but it’ll be used with 2 year warranty

[soft swan]

If you buy that new that’s the worst buy ever

Do you know how overpriced they are

Like 200 bucks

You can get a used 2080 for that

[prime solstice]

I find most games don’t support the 1660 anymore I got a 3050 it can play most games but it can play games at 60 fps when plugged in

[sonic spruce]

It’s $140 usd

130*

[soft swan]

I mean that’s not awful

Better than I aexpected

[sonic spruce]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMQH9GA

[soft swan]

They do support it

[full fossil]

wow

[soft swan]

Yea imma stop you right there lol

[prime solstice]

Here are some I found

[soft swan]

AliExpress ain’t it

[sonic spruce]

Why not?

[soft swan]

Pretty scammy

[prime solstice]

Some do I can play starfield when plugged in at 60 fps

[sonic spruce]

It doesn’t have the fake display bullshit of a gtx 650

[soft swan]

So 3060 ti prices

[sonic spruce]

It actually has DisplayPort, hdmi, and DVI-D

[full fossil]

they were used in mining and it decreases its livespan

[soft swan]

388 for a 3060 is bad

[soft swan]

That’s not true

[prime solstice]

And 3050

[sonic spruce]

So was my gtx 960

[soft swan]

Who buys a 3050 for 380

That’s a rip off

[full fossil]

most of them i saw didn't work too

[sonic spruce]

Nobody, new 3060 ti are like $400

[soft swan]

Nope, 350

[prime solstice]

Here’s some amd ones

[sonic spruce]

I have test builds that I can use and wouldn’t care if they died

[sonic spruce]

Rx 570 for $170

[soft swan]

Please just search the specific model or you get overpriced ones

[full fossil]

oh yeah

[soft swan]

Amazon search is kinda funny

[full fossil]

not even an actual 580

wtf

[lilac bear]

would you still be using the same GPU before it dies though??

[full fossil]

yeah

[soft swan]

Mining is actually lighter on a gpu than gaming

[prime solstice]

Idk that much amd models

[soft swan]

They’re just start with 6 or 7

[sonic spruce]

Like oh no, my pentium 3, 3 gb of ddr2 ram pc died, boo hoo. Welp, time to use a i5-2400 with 16 GBs of ram

[soft swan]

PC’s don’t just die

Usually

[sonic spruce]

Actually?

[full fossil]

its just kinda risky to use mining gpus

[soft swan]

A lot of the time

[soft swan]

Ehh

[sonic spruce]

I mean, pretty sure atleast one of the 2 gpus I’ve bought where used for mining

[prime solstice]

My old laptop had a old Intel core i5 then I put Linux on it worked for a week I might’ve installed something wrong but it died

[sonic spruce]

I doubt anyone would use a gt 620 for mining

[sonic spruce]

Sounds like you did

[trim dawn]

i will

[prime solstice]

But it won’t boot or even charge anymore

[mint yacht]

It's not that it's "lighter"

[sonic spruce]

For dogecoin or for shibacoin?

[ionic abyss]

google translate doesnt do good with some things

[mint yacht]

It's that it is a continuous load, which is better for the BGA connections

[trim dawn]

bitcoin

[lilac bear]

usually they would want the GPUs to stay cool
probably underclock
and the constant usage is actually better than jumping off and on high loads

[prime solstice]

Would a amd r9 270 be good for mining /j

[sonic spruce]

You’re gonna be making 0.000000001 usd every month with it

[trim dawn]

yes

[ionic abyss]

lol watched a video about google translate coming up with puppy ramen

[soft swan]

You can’t even mine Bitcoin on gpus since like 2017

Or 2018

It was ethereum

[ionic abyss]

ironicaly google translated a review about puppy ramen served by a sticky clerk

[sonic spruce]

So yeah, imma get a sjs gtx 1660 super and I’ll test it some on piece of shit pc to make sure it works and install drivers and shit

[prime solstice]

Is a 1660 a instrument

[ionic abyss]

so i must assume google uses ai with a sense of humor to translate some laugages

[sonic spruce]

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

[prime solstice]

It actually is

[polar fern]

New processor in and now it won’t post

Sigh

[gilded quest]

Everything's a drum

[full fossil]

used cpus on aliexpress are p good

[jovial rampart]

Hi everyone can someone help to solve a peripherals upgrade issue?

[polar fern]

Instead of asking for help, just post what you’re having a problem with

[sonic spruce]

An instrument of war

[soft swan]

Aliexpress is kinda of a gamble but sure if you want

[ionic abyss]

that or the japenese have sticky clerks serving puppy ramen every month on the 10tth day

[jovial rampart]

Or where do I have to post for this kind of help

[polar fern]

Just ask what you need help with

[soft swan]

#1027757333117415424

[sonic spruce]

Linus made a video with these same brand of cards

[polar fern]

Or first, you can just tell us what is going on and we can help you from there

[prime solstice]

I can agree with that cause the amount of times I cut my hand on a gpu

[ionic abyss]

grrr stupid bios update

[soft swan]

Tbh if you’re getting AliExpress you’re probably good with used too

[jovial rampart]

Alright, I have a very old peripherals setup and I wanted to upgrade everything, any recommendations?

[sonic spruce]

Mayo is a gpu?

[soft swan]

Like a you can get used 1080s for 120

[polar fern]

What is your peripheral set up? You need to be more specific

[prime solstice]

I never really update my bios is that bad I mostly don’t do it due to fear of screwing something up

[sonic spruce]

Yes, yea you can

[prime solstice]

The silver stuff on it yes

[sonic spruce]

Yes, yes you can*

[sonic spruce]

Ok?

[ionic abyss]

my overclock rig got a bios update now i cant push the 12700k in it past 7ghz i had it stable with the older bios at 7.4ghz

[sonic spruce]

Imma go nap, gn

[ionic abyss]

ill have to look into rolling the bios back

[polar fern]

Peripherals like a floppy disk drive or what I’m not even sure what you’re asking

[ionic abyss]

who uses a floppy drive in 2023

[polar fern]

They weren’t being specific I have no idea

[lilac bear]

who uses Intel in 2023

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

[prime solstice]

My dads old dos computer

[polar fern]

People who need space heaters in their living area

[ionic abyss]

define old my old dos pc is what i call my ibm xt

[dusty rune]

3igpork

[polar fern]

I’m still confused as to what peripherals are, but I guess we will never know

[dusty rune]

dont think you know him sadly

[prime solstice]

No my dad made a custom dos pc when he was a kid (windows 98 I should say but it boots into dos first)

[polar fern]

Not very uncommon

[dusty rune]

the guy is so fun to talk to
he uses old hardware cause new is worse apparently

[ionic abyss]

i still havent found were i put the usb adapter for the model m keyboart the xt came with

[polar fern]

It goes in the banana for scale

[soft swan]

I’m sure he enjoys 30 minute load times

[polar fern]

Lttstoredotcom

[lilac bear]

we holding it out on DDR2 💪

[prime solstice]

I wanna see a banana for scale usb drive I think that would be cool

[dusty rune]

oh i think he plays doom 1993

and like thats it i dont think the hardware runs anything else

[soft swan]

Oh damn that’s old

[prime solstice]

I play old games using a vm

[dusty rune]

you could show him the most beautiful microled panel and he would say crt looks better

[soft swan]

Why does he think it’s better if he can’t run shit

[lilac bear]

bold of you to assume they also play modern games

[prime solstice]

If it runs doom it can run anything

[dusty rune]

hes old i dont think he games

[soft swan]

Fair

[jaunty compass]

I found something hilarious on aliexpress

[soft swan]

A lot of people obesessed with the crt stuff

[jaunty compass]

I want one lmao
