Australian accents are really British ones

[fierce moth]

including holds

[manic torrent]

looooooooool

[quartz mica]

I'd have asked them if they did the Tim Tam slam.

Is what I'd have asked them.

Nintendo help be damed. I need to know if these Australian help line folks are down with Tim Tams.

[gentle slate]

is a good display too much to ask for in a laptop

im fine with 1080p60 but the colors on this one are.. Terible

[quartz mica]

Mod yourself an iBook G3

Throw in an M1 chip?

At that res, you'll be screaming

HD in portable is for chumps

Go with the smallest screen possible at the lowest res

50x50 on a 4 inch monitor

I barely want to be able to read text

Battery life for days

Maybe even weeks

[dreamy rose]

unless you wanna spend extra thousands, yes

[gentle slate]

man. Portable tech fucking sucks

[dreamy rose]

not really, the 780M is pretty damn good

[gentle slate]

whats that

[dreamy rose]

best integrated graphics on the planet

[quartz mica]

Don't knock a palm pilot.

Note taking at it's best.

Won't distract anyone in a theater when using it as well.

What with it not having a back light.

See, that is just being considerate to others is what that is.

[dreamy rose]

you wont be able to use it either

[quartz mica]

Bring a flash light with you.

You save so much money buying a palm pilot you can really go to town on a nice flashlight.

You can even get one that charges by shaking it in a fashion unfit for polite society.

[vapid smelt]

just glue a ipad screen to it

[manic torrent]

Awww yeah. Finished the rack cabinet for now.

[gentle slate]

hot

why does it have a door

[vapid cypress]

Every cabinet has a door

[gentle slate]

mine dont

[vapid smelt]

to get inside

[gentle slate]

i remove their doors

[vapid cypress]

L

[manic torrent]

Door keeps the sound in, and protects the stuff inside from the dumb shit I do on the bench next to it 😄

[vapid cypress]

What's da thing at the bottom

[manic torrent]

and my PoE cameras are now on a seperate subnet! Need to wait for a new vlan capable AP to move the other stuff

[manic torrent]

7.1 channel hdmi receiver

[vapid cypress]

Ah

[manic torrent]

Then there's the 10gbE switch, the PoE switch, an eARC-> HDMI and HDMI-> analog 5.1 converter, and an RB5009 router, which has a 10gbE port, a 2.5 and a bunch of gig.

I'll be replacing that PoE switch with a ubiquiti one eventually

[vapid cypress]

Nice

[wary summit]

R.I.P apple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzTrDyoLHTg

[vapid smelt]

i dont understand

[wary summit]

Snapdragon 8 gen 3 > A16 Bionic OC A17

[junior forge]

surely

[wary summit]

They beat Apple A17 in Multicore damn

and more efficient than A17

as of now, who knows what iOS slow down update they'll pull

[junior forge]

well

[pulsar violet]

Computer brokey

Jake getting caught red handed

[dreamy rose]

he froze just like windows.

[pulsar violet]

You mean Internet Explorer

I finally got one drive out after messing with registry and converting to local

[dreamy rose]

no, windows in general.

[pulsar violet]

Yea

[polar fern]

In the new video where they repair Linus’ pool loop computer, he mentions open backed PCI slots on the asrock board

[dreamy rose]

what about them?

[polar fern]

They are actually incredibly useful

[dreamy rose]

Absolutely.

[polar fern]

It’s one of the reasons I got the taichi board

[dreamy rose]

wish you could say the same about windows operating systems but here we are.

[polar fern]

It also has single sided ram slots which make inserting the ram module a lot easier

The lil lock tab is only on one end

[icy rock]

Gta 6 where

[polar fern]

The other end has a little notch that it fits onto

[dreamy rose]

at rockstar being worked on. not online at all there are no leaked builds do not download anything

[pulsar violet]

Probably in development

[pulsar violet]

You want the game to be a half baked POS game or something you can hold off on and play when it’s fully developed, not mad but it’s just the truth

[polar fern]

Cough starfield

[pulsar violet]

I haven’t played or know anything about it, what happened with it?

[lapis solstice]

Loading screen simulator

[polar fern]

Hehe

[dreamy rose]

i thought that was GTA Online on PS3

[vapid zephyr]

And ironically, Starfields engine absolutely supports directstorage to bypass all of the loadingscreens kek

[polar fern]

Oops

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, that shit's still like that today

[lapis solstice]

Never played that

[vapid zephyr]

No, nevermind

I keep mistaking it for Star Citizen

[pulsar violet]

This reminds me of the situation where GTA V was cooking that 1 CPU Core with the same instructions over and over again in the loading screen but got fixed like 8 years later

[dreamy rose]

or right it isn't anymore. the servers for vintage versions like that one are dead

[vapid zephyr]

Because they're the same game except one of the two is less shit

[lapis solstice]

If star citizen could pull it off what they showd in the tech demo....

[vapid zephyr]

Nope, you still sit in loadingscreens for at least one or two minutes if you're starting in

[dreamy rose]

i still do not notice a difference shits so slow

[pulsar violet]

Yea

[vapid zephyr]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfLxMvDp1Lo&t=0s

[dreamy rose]

then again half the time i'm moving too fast for the world to load in so theres that,

[pulsar violet]

Better than fivem, them assets load quick but everything is streamed I think but idk, like I made a local server on my laptop and played on PC and loading was quick but textures and assets are always bugged

[dreamy rose]

iirc i've actually glitched through the floor cause of that. or i'd seen it happen

[ionic abyss]

did linus break another computer?

[muted grove]

Hi

[ionic abyss]

not the pool pc

[desert dagger]

https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/ you mean that one?

[pulsar violet]

Oh nvm

[dreamy rose]

fivem made my performance worse

[pulsar violet]

I thought it was that one

[pulsar violet]

Yea cause these modders also done know what optimization is for their mods

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, since that's for what it's worth a custom client

[pulsar violet]

They go 🤩 POLYGONS 🤩

Especially in VRC

[vapid zephyr]

The pc requirements for FiveM are ironically entirely different for than for GTA V itself

[pulsar violet]

Some dude tried to convince me that GTA 5 and FiveM where totally different things and only the maps and framework was the same, I blocked him

There was no saving him

They are both on the RAGE engine made by Take Two Interactive aka Rockstar

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah man, FiveM is totally a different engine and game, look at the graphics!

FiveM is UE4, for sure

[pulsar violet]

Nah, Scratch

I was in VC with the dude and started arguing over it, I was like I’m done

[vapid zephyr]

Tbf I can kinda see where people are coming from when they say FiveM might as well be their own game

[pulsar violet]

Yea

[vapid smelt]

a verbal nerd fight?!

[vapid zephyr]

When modders get asked how many polygons they put into their shit the only answer you usually get is 'Yes.'

[pulsar violet]

lol, go to VR Chat and that’s all you see

Polygons galore

[vapid zephyr]

I know, I've disabled high-poly models entirely

[pulsar violet]

And people have the audacity to complain about how VRC is unoptimized by the creators of the game

[ionic abyss]

did linus use a plastic bag to catch metal shavings

[pulsar violet]

Idk probably in the video

Haven’t watched fully

[ionic abyss]

that could have gone verry bad verry fast

[pulsar violet]

Main word could

[ionic abyss]

plastic vs hot metal not good

[strong lance]

lmao its really not that big of a deal

[ionic abyss]

i know a few auto mechanics who would beg to differ

[strong lance]

lmfao

[vapid zephyr]

You know how like, heat resistant plastics exist

And yes, there's plastic bags that are made with them

[strong lance]

very small bit of drilling hardly any shavings ill bet anything you did that 100 more times nothing would happen even with a grocery bag

[vapid zephyr]

If it was a cheap plastic bag and the plastic bag didn't melt, maybe the metal shavings weren't all that hot

[strong lance]

and yeah not hot at all hes drilling aluminum

lmfao i couldn't imagine what you would say to me at my shop yesterday i was running my plasma with tennis shoes and had holes in my socks after 10 mins

[manic torrent]

Honestly if you're drilling something and the shavings are hot enough to be a problem, then something has gone very wrong

[strong lance]

yep lmao bit would be a goner

[manic torrent]

... And your bit is probably fucked anyway, because wtf

[dull granite]

[spice sand]

Got it for free by the side of the road without wheels I don’t want to hear it

[opal thunder]

Real, I just had one of those moments in #peripherals .

[sonic spruce]

Good deal

[slim creek]

I probably missed a shit ton of free shit because I have not checked the local storage in quite a while

[spice sand]

That’s how I got a lot of my computers and parts. Side of the road for free

[sonic spruce]

What’s your current pc?

[slim creek]

you should have seen how janky my friend's setup is

[sonic spruce]

Wdym?

I want free pc parts

[slim creek]

people leave free stuff right outside the local storage

[spice sand]

i5 8600, 16gb ddr4 2666, RX 580 8gb

None of which I got by the side of the road lol

[sonic spruce]

Tf is local storage?

[sonic spruce]

RX 580 2048sp or regular?

[spice sand]

2048 don’t worry bout it

ROG strix was $75 that ain’t bad

[slim creek]

literally a building used to store stuff in it for the local neighborhood

[sonic spruce]

There’s nothing wrong with the 2048p?

[spice sand]

Worse than the regular one

[sonic spruce]

Oh, we don’t have that in America, or atleast in my state or city?

[sonic spruce]

I’m aware, it’s a good budget card tho

It’s better than my gtx 960 too

[spice sand]

Indeed

Does what I ask it to do as I don’t play demanding games on my pc

[sonic spruce]

I7-12700K, 32gbs DDR5-5600, Gtx 960 2gb

[sonic spruce]

I play demanding games on my pc

[spice sand]

Might get a 9900K for shots and goggles tho

board can’t overclock lol

[sonic spruce]

Oem bs or?

[slim creek]

its a laundry room combined with a storage room owned by the landlord

[opal thunder]

2gb of vram is tough

[spice sand]

A smol M-ATX Asrock board

[sonic spruce]

Ohhhh apartment building

[sonic spruce]

Gotcha

[spice sand]

lil baby

[sonic spruce]

Yeah, gonna try to get Dell Gtx 1080 OEM

From eBay

[slim creek]

no its literally a seprate building and the houses are not connected to eachother

[sonic spruce]

If you get i9-9900k, I’d suggest a cpu cooler upgrade

[spice sand]

Well yeah

[sonic spruce]

Oh then idk

Never had one

[spice sand]

Not even a 9900T could survive the stock one

[slim creek]

theres also a dedicated building for parties

[sonic spruce]

lol

[junior forge]

good stuff

[sonic spruce]

Damn

[slim creek]

you should tip your landlord

[slim creek]

used for community events or celebrations

[sonic spruce]

I don’t have one

[sonic spruce]

Fun

[slim creek]

even though my neighborhood has good stuff get me tf out of here please

I hate it here

[rugged bridge]

photoshop speedrun any %
(joke btw)

[sonic spruce]

Why?

[dreamy rose]

its impossible to finish Photoship in 60 minutes theres at least 200 hours of content even including the middle skip.

[rugged bridge]

i know thats why i mentioned that it was a joke

also that stat is incorrect, i've "played" it much longer than 60 mins

[dreamy rose]

tfw you realise i'm parodying a know it all speedrunner guy that never done a speedrun once

[opal thunder]

Anyone gone to the fright night at the PNE? How is it this year? Crowded as usual?

I couldn't snag a rapid pass this time so I'm hoping I'm not screwed.

[neon mesa]

just call it RX 570 because it is what it is

AMD doing funky deceptive naming

the 2048SP is identical to the RX 570

[dreamy rose]

fallout 76 is free to play for a little while. if my PC doesn't make it i'll update.

[dense coral]

Never buy a MI phone

Shitter oneplus

Id rather use a low end samsung brick instead

[vapid zephyr]

That's stupid and you know it lmao

[dense coral]

Nah the ui is AHH and the bloatware+ads..

The phones are pretty good

[terse matrix]

the good ones imo are pixel and asus

[dense coral]

Icl

[vapid zephyr]

The UI is subjective so fair enough; the bloatware can be uninstalled with no issues and the ads are completely non-intrusive

[dense coral]

Hopefully Nothing Phone 2 becomes better

[vapid zephyr]

The Nothing Phone 2 is long out

[dense coral]

i need a BIG phone what can i do

[terse matrix]

8 gen 1 kinda doesn't compete with the 8 gen 2 though

[terse matrix]

pixel 7 pro or pixel 8 pro are kinda massive

[terse matrix]

^

[dense coral]

Massive in prices too

[terse matrix]

pixel 7 pro isn't that much
got mine for £550

[dense coral]

Out of stock/ priced at original 900$ here

[terse matrix]

ah right

[full fossil]

Hello

[terse matrix]

why do you need such a big phone though

[dense coral]

Only non oneplus-mi phone under 700$ with a 6.7inch display is the Nothing 2

[dense coral]

Cus i got bigass hands

6.7inch phone,
My index and thumb can easily reach across

[terse matrix]

I kinda want a ZenFone for my next phone tbh
but Asus aren't selling many which is a shame

[terse matrix]

I'm not sure

kind of difficult to meet those criteria while going under 700 usd

and avoiding mi and oneplus

[dense coral]

thats why.. nothing phone 2..

[terse matrix]

I haven't heard much about the np2

[dense coral]

ive owned a pixel 6a which was way too hard for me
Exchanged for a oneplus 10R and now im back on my 11x

[dreamy rose]

okay man. thats enough.

[vapid cypress]

At this point every youtuber on earth has explained how it works so I skipped it

[viral sentinel]

[prime solstice]

The best way to know how ai works is ask the ai

[vapid cypress]

True

Then ask it to device by 0

[prime solstice]

It didn’t work

[vapid cypress]

Darn it

[prime solstice]

Yeah the ai out smarted me

[brave plank]

why are modems so freaking expensive? If I pay $350 for a fancy new wifi 6e router, it doesn't include a modem which is somehow also $350?? Doesn't the modem just convert coax into ethernet???

[ocean pawn]

🦅

[velvet marsh]

What modem are you looking at that's 350?

[sonic spruce]

Ok the RX 570 with 8gbs of vram

[neon mesa]

The regular RX 570 has 8GB

And 4GB model also

[sonic spruce]

RX 580 2048SP is a RX 570 but faster, it’s slower than regular 580

[neon mesa]

it's so close it's basically the same

It literally has the same amount of cores as the RX 570
It is an RX 570

Piggybacking on RX 580 name

[mint rampart]

i'm trying to add more space to my c drive but its greyed out, what do i do?

[brave plank]

the only gigabit modems I could find were like 200-350

https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-CM1100-100NAS-Nighthawk-DOCSIS-Cable/dp/B01MXC4532/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=modem&sr=8-3
ok I found a cheaper one but still, like $200 just to make coax ethernet

no image perms

[sonic spruce]

Greyed out?

[velvet marsh]

are you in the US?

[brave plank]

ya

xfinity

1.2 gigabit connection

[velvet marsh]

Yeah you're looking at like 200 for 2.5gbit

[brave plank]

ugh

[mint rampart]

ya

[velvet marsh]

Or 80 for 1gig

[brave plank]

was already gonna spend a bit to get a wifi 6e router to figure proof, now it is gonna be like $500 total for everything

[brave plank]

ya but those are usually limited to 800 while advertising gigabit ports

[velvet marsh]

I mean yeah it's got overhead, and unless you're in the same room as the router you're not getting over gigabit anyway

[brave plank]

ya ig

just trying to get away from xfinity's router/modem combo

it is $120 a year and they lock you out of dns

[sick coral]

is this real?

[jaunty compass]

I bought a rx 580 2048SP for a gaming rig for a friend and it works pretty well

*well

she mostly just plays minecraft though

[velvet marsh]

You know if you drop it you lose unlimited data right?

[brave plank]

can't that be added on separately?

[jaunty compass]

this sounds like a total hoax lol

[velvet marsh]

Yeah, it's like $30 a month?

[brave plank]

I know that it drops unlimited data but I thought it could be bought separate

[brave plank]

wtf lemme check

[runic flax]

Slightly. This isn't the first time an "Immediate ban" image has been found on Discord. Typically something that accidentally triggers it gets looked into

[sick coral]

this is supposedly the source
https://youtu.be/Kyc_ysVgBMs?feature=shared

[runic flax]

I would watch some of the information you take in from NTTS. There has been misinformation in the past

[jaunty compass]

I think it's misinformation lol

[full fossil]

how would that even work

[runic flax]

Accidental CSAM trigger (Preventative measure)

[full fossil]

ohh

reminds me of people being banned for changing their profiles

and it was real

[jaunty compass]

funky

[full fossil]

before being banned their messages were being detected as possible spam

[runic flax]

A few months ago there was a massive ban wave that happened that hit about 1mil people accidentally from when the new Username's started rolling out

[full fossil]

that sucks

[graceful burrow]

new mod?

[runic flax]

no

[graceful burrow]

o
i just never see you around so i assume

probably active in channels im not

[dusty rune]

after a quick search in his messages, he doesnt speak

he just watches

like batman over a city

[full fossil]

he must be shy

[dusty rune]

something in the way, mmmm

[sick coral]

according to the video its not accidental, rather the image is an sfw screenshot from an actual cp video

[runic flax]

That would make more sense then

[full fossil]

oh

[brave plank]

the first two years it is $10 a month. After that they add 25 a month so it is $35 a month in the long run.

A wifi 6e router + modem is like 250-500 and unlimited data is $30 a month

[full fossil]

so its like a tenor gif or something? or being sent by bots

[prime solstice]

In the discord server I was in when it go raided and people sent those images nothing happened when we reported them

[velvet marsh]

This is why I don't use Xfinity

[sick coral]

like the specific image shown in the video?

[prime solstice]

No actual cp and gore stuff that should be triggered by discord but it isn’t those accounts are still there

[brave plank]

we don't have a choice

I hate comcast

[velvet marsh]

oof no other options?

[sick coral]

hope you didnt get traumatised

[prime solstice]

I am the stuff I seen in the logs

[sick coral]

but also the discord filter mustve not kicked in

[full fossil]

they dont even work right

[prime solstice]

Yeah the mod team had to manually delete them and report the accounts

[full fossil]

I've tried sending a meme of a vase falling and breaking in a server and it detected as nsfw

literally just a vase

[prime solstice]

I once sent a picture of Peter griffin and it got detected but when I posted a naked mole rat it didn’t

[brave plank]

I can check but I don't think so

[hot tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-gif-4439279616571508647

[brave plank]

nope

[lilac bear]

make your own internet connection

[sonic spruce]

I didn’t say it wouldn’t

As of right now, that gpu meets the requirement for almost every game

[jaunty compass]

I never said you said it wouldn't

all i'm saying is that it runs games fine and i got it for like $50 for a friend

[lilac bear]

you should've bought an RTX 4090

[velvet marsh]

Honestly that's like the first thing I look for when moving lol

[vestal whale]

I just saw yesterday's video... I'm behind...

"We don't know how to power them on remotely.."

has he not heard of WOL? it's been out for 25 years!

[vestal whale]

oooo bubbles. I get you Jakkuh 😛

[sonic spruce]

How’d you get it for $50?

Singles day I’m guessing?

[jaunty compass]

AliExpress

[graceful burrow]

Starfield
Alan wake 2
Any game that comes out after basically

[jaunty compass]

All she plays on it is Minecraft with shaders lol

[graceful burrow]

"meets the requirements" doesn't mean playable anymore unfortunately

[jaunty compass]

It's like $50 on AliExpress

I used her email to get another $5 off so it was like 50 bucks instead of 55

[gilded forge]

yeah min requirements are a joke for most games.

[jaunty compass]

Because it was her GPU anyway

They're really not much

I got a soyo monarch dragon card

It was in fact fine

It's just a commodity 580 lol

It was kinda a birthday gift in that I'm only making her pay for half of the PC

which ended up being like $150

it's not a slow machine

it has a 128 gig ssd, an i5 10400 (essentially), the rx 580*, a 1tb hard drive, the dvd drive for the memes

that case I had lying around because she didn't care what case it was in and it had okay airflow

the board has a wifi/bluetooth card build in

[dreamy otter]

Have you considered 5G Home Internet?

It may be very comparable to Comcast if you are close to a tower.

[brave plank]

I would rather use starbucks wifi

it is a valid solution for people who don't have wired internet in their area

but seriously, it is a glorified hotspot

[dreamy otter]

My grandma has fiber available and still chooses T-Mobile Home Internet because it's $30/mo for her, and she gets 800mbps down lol

[brave plank]

what about her ping?

[dreamy otter]

low teens

I think the average i've seen is around 15ms

[brave plank]

still tho, it is hard to guarantee I will be close to a tower

[dreamy otter]

https://cellmapper.net/

[brave plank]

and if some house adds a second story and blocks it it could hurt the speeds

[dreamy otter]

T-Mobile has a free trial period too

14 days risk free

[brave plank]

it feels like a massive amount of ifs

[brave plank]

I hate tmobile tbh

[dreamy otter]

why..

[brave plank]

because t mobile

[dreamy otter]

? T-Mobile has the best 5G coverage nationwide lol

Of course, specific speeds depend on your area but overall they're great now

[gilded quest]

T mobile is mid

Coverage is okay but not great in my area. Speeds also could be better

[dreamy otter]

AT&T and Verizon are horrible here in middle TN, I easily get 10x the speed on t-mobile lol

My minimum 5G speed is usually around 200mbps

[brave plank]

also they advertise 5g coverage but they use the crappy 5g

[dreamy otter]

wdym crappy 5g

[brave plank]

where it is technically 5g but often slower than 4g speeds

[dreamy otter]

DSS?

[gilded quest]

5g sub-6 is fine as long as there's actually a tower

[dreamy otter]

Verizon uses DSS and so does AT&T frequently I believe

[gilded quest]

DSS?

[dreamy otter]

It's a cellular term, dynamic spectrum sharing. It uses bandwidth from LTE

Often leading to slower speeds

[gilded quest]

Ah

[dreamy otter]

A lot of people hate on T-Mobile based on past reputation, but after the Sprint acquisition - they rival AT&T and Verizon very well.

[brave plank]

oh ya thats why I hate them even more

friggin monopoly

[gilded quest]

Yeah if we could undo the last 20 years of cellular mergers that would be great

[dreamy otter]

Sprint barely had any coverage to begin with though, the Sprint/T-Mobile merger I think was honestly good. I agree though that we need more carriers, that's where Dish is coming in.

https://about.dish.com/2022-06-15-DISHs-Smart-5G-TM-Wireless-Network-is-Now-Available-to-Over-20-Percent-of-the-U-S-Population

[gilded forge]

so technically sprint owns mint? god why is the market so stupid

[dreamy otter]

T-Mobile does

[brave plank]

ya I lost all respect for ryan reynolds

[gilded quest]

Lol Dish

[gilded forge]

but if sprint and T-Mobile are one, then doesn't that mean Sprint does as well?

[gilded quest]

That's such a fuckin joke

[dreamy otter]

Sprint is gone, dissolved lol

[brave plank]

idc if it means better coverage, now there are two real options for phone networks and idc how good they are, they are both terrible

[gilded quest]

Dish isn't going to do shit in any meaningful capacity

I guess the counterargument is Sprint wasn't exactly doing much either

[brave plank]

they are both greedy crap and tmobile has eliminated competition

[gilded forge]

I forgot Dish existed 💀

[dreamy otter]

there's three?

Sprint was the non real option before the merger lmao

[gilded forge]

I have AT&T and they have some weird network branding. they have a special label for the speed between 4G and 5G called 5GE and its so stupid

[brave plank]

there are two

because sprint is gone

[dreamy otter]

Lemme guess you're gonna say Verizon and AT&T?

[brave plank]

I know 0 people who use at&t

[dreamy otter]

doesn't mean it's not a real network

[brave plank]

and honestly if you told me t mobile bought them too I would believe it

[dreamy otter]

I know tons of people who use AT&T here

[gilded quest]

I won't lie, I've never switched off Verizon for my personal device

[brave plank]

ya, verizon just works
i played cloud gaming on a road trip and it was fun

[dreamy otter]

AT&T is honestly more scummy than Verizon

[gilded forge]

I want Verizon, but it's not possible. I live in a really rural area, and at&t has the best coverage for rural US.

[brave plank]

aight we got three options and we used to have like 5 or 6

and who did that? t mobile

[gilded quest]

Why did you have to say the CG phrase 🤢

[dreamy otter]

I hate how AT&T and Verizon have 36 month phone installment contracts now..

[brave plank]

r6 is fun

[dreamy otter]

Ironically, I get more usable coverage when travelling with T-Mobile than we did with AT&T lol

[gilded quest]

It really depends where you live

[dreamy otter]

I would get signal on AT&T but it just would be incredibly slow.

[gilded quest]

Not every carrier covers every region equally

[dreamy otter]

100% agree

Just going from personal experience here

[gilded quest]

Hell, I think sprint used to have a bunch of rural markets locked up

[gilded forge]

also, 5G kinda sucks where I'm at. there's not enough 5G towers for the area it's trying to cover, so the network is just so crowded that it ends up being slower than 4G.

[dreamy otter]

What carriers?

I had that issue with AT&T here, they only have low band deployed here so it was miserable.

[gilded forge]

at&t

they have one of the most misleading titles as well. "5GE" lmao

[dreamy otter]

Yeah, it's super dumb.

Verizon claims to have the most coverage but AT&T probably has more usable coverage though

Verizon in some areas is entirely unusable (which can be said for all carriers, but probably verizon the most)

[gilded forge]

in my experience, at&t has the most coverage in rural areas

[dreamy otter]

I'd have to agree

Verizon has signal but it's just miserable lol

[low rain]

Someone like made a fake screenshot of someone in my school saying the n word and they actually got in trouble 💀

[gilded forge]

wow, insane 💀 /s

[lilac bear]

5G is a downgrade from 4G in so many ways
except speed, that's all

[hallow harness]

asus definitely paid him for product placement

[gilded forge]

kinda wild to put use an rog laptop in court

[soft swan]

[graceful burrow]

Not if you're dealing with large excel documents and the like
That shit gets absurdly heavy very quick

[sonic spruce]

It’s $60 on aliexpress

[graceful burrow]

ROG laptop is cheaper than a "workstation" laptop and fast af anyway

The kind of documents a lawyer would be dealing would can definitely take advantage

[sage quiver]

Guess this puts the notion that gaming laptops are unsuitable for formal work to rest

[jaunty compass]

welll
i got it for $50 lol

[jaunty compass]

where would that notion even come from tbh

[sage quiver]

Mostly a meme.

[jaunty compass]

they're powerful laptops

[jaunty compass]

he's gotta pay the lawsuits somehow lmao

[marsh carbon]

It might be all the rgb

[jaunty compass]

absolutely is that

[sage quiver]

Though in all seriousness, you don't necessarily want to attract attention to your laptop with loud lighting and whatnot in certain environments

[jaunty compass]

my delta 15 is a gaming laptop but looks nothing like a gaming laptop lol

[graceful burrow]

One of my best friends uses a workstation laptop and he does tax work and audits for huge companies in and around new york
These are the specs of his work laptop

Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada
i9-13900H
32gb ram

[jaunty compass]

i could bring it into a workplace and nobody would notice

[graceful burrow]

Reminds me of a story
When everything swapped to wfh during covid he was using his main rig to do work, a 3900x, 2080ti, and 64gb of ram
And one of the IT guys had to remote in to do something and opened an excel file he had and went "wow, that's a hell of a lot faster than I've ever seen an excel file open"

He just got the nice workstation, the one before it was a glorified tablet only suitable for basic internet work

"tremendously faster" is how he describes it

[hot tartan]

That’s why I need a 14900k, for excel files

[sonic spruce]

Nice

[sonic spruce]

[amber stone]

Anyone in the UK used Onestop-digital.com or Gadgetward.co.uk? What was the experience like?

I'm looking at buying the Xperia 1 V and it's about £200 cheaper than Amazon which sketches me out a bit.

[gilded forge]

well the other dude has a thinkpad

[jaunty compass]

Thinkpads can be pretty beefy

[lethal imp]

just use back market tbf

https://www.backmarket.co.uk/en-gb/search?q=xperia 1 v

[amber stone]

I don't want refurbished, I want new. And the fact that that is the same price as what is purportedly new is why I'm unsure...

[lethal imp]

the reason that onestop digital is so cheap is that it doesnt charge vat, i 100% wouldnt trust gadgetward just from a look at their website

also considering the xperia 1 v only came out 5 months ago means that refurbished should be more than fine, also back market support are really good for me and warranty is easy to claim

honestly id trust back market more than those 2 websites but if i were to choose one id go onestop digital

[amber stone]

Only issue with backmarket, if I accept refurbished, is that they only have the 256GB model.

Agreed on the dodginess of the other websites, though.
How do you know Onestop don't charge VAT? They legally have to and their website doesn't state inc or ex VAT... which should mean including.

[eternal vault]

Hi i got a super weird email a day ago. Could anyone try to detect if it is real or not? If so send me a dm. The sender tries to threaten me with stuff and i only have an hour left of the 36h timer he had

[amber stone]

Wow. Just got a message deleted because I said a word that had a bit of another word in it...

[jaunty compass]

lmao you can't even say it

the name of that problem

[ionic abyss]

humm

[amber stone]

I haven't had good experiences with refurbished phones before. I've always had little issues with them.

[hearty spear]

oh, I can beat that.
I got warshipped for the phrase: "Do I buy this laptoP <.> OR <.> Not"

[jaunty compass]

lmao

[amber stone]

The word I used is a synonym for "small issues". But it contains the first four letters of a derogatory word and so it freaked out and deleted the message. 🤦‍♂️

[lilac bear]

Sony moment

I only know if you were buying in Canada

[hearty spear]

@turbid falcon might?

[dreamy rose]

[turbid falcon]

nope, never used them

[lilac bear]

dude is going to lose all his money if he doesn't input his credit card information in

[hearty spear]

if it's an email? 99.99% chance it's fake. Don't buy into it.

[jaunty compass]

it's clearly fake

it's a scam and the guy is trying to scare you

[eternal vault]

yeah just got a bit scared because it came in the prioritized mail folder..

[hasty geode]

lmfao they did not just build zoomer retention into their latest vid

[eternal vault]

usually come in spam folder

[lilac bear]

[opal thunder]

[hearty spear]

mark it as spam and ignore it.

[low folio]

Please never do that random video on the side thing again it's quite mean spirited and annoying.

[jaunty compass]

Oh he bought more AliExpress shit
Nice

Just got to the part with the 'zoomer retention'

That's fucking distracting

I had to just drag part of the window off of the screen

[low folio]

I covered it with my hand half way through.

[jaunty compass]

As someone with ADHD it was annoying and distracting

If you're going to do the 'zoomer retention' make it subway surfers to play into the meme

Or better yet just let me watch the explanation of how the chiller works because if I clicked on the video I want to see it

[soft swan]

I literally hate that tiktok subway surfer thing

You might say it’s a generational thing, no it’s f-I guess not, no one had it before freaking tiktok came along

[jaunty compass]

I hate it too

I want to watch the video that I clicked on to watch

But maybe I'm weird because I don't watch short form content

The shortest YouTube video I will typically watch is 15 minutes

My preferred length of video is around an hour

[soft swan]

Yea they’re basically trying to make people lose their attention span , it’s so dumb as well

[jaunty compass]

I just so happen to have gotten really into multi-hour video essays right as the short form content boom happened

So that saved me

[soft swan]

Lol

You couldn’t have caught me dead watching tiktok when it got popular

[jaunty compass]

I'm like "oooh 6 hour video essay about a game I've never heard about let's watch it"

[opal thunder]

Idk i can watch tiktok then read for 4 hours straight so ig its a skill issue?

[soft swan]

Yea but how much do you watch tiktok

[opal thunder]

maybe its because they are ONLY consuming short form

[opal thunder]

daily (yt shorts actually)

[soft swan]

If it’s barely at all, then yea ofc you’re fine

[opal thunder]

probably like 2-8 hours a week

[jaunty compass]

If I get interested in a topic I want a comprehensive deep dive

[opal thunder]

depends how much free time i have

[jaunty compass]

Fuck that 12 minute overview shit

[opal thunder]

nd how caught up i am on reading

[soft swan]

Ehh I’m not one to watch a 4 hour video on something but not that dumb to want a 15 second video either

[jaunty compass]

Give me a 4 hour documentary ln how the x86 architecture came out

[soft swan]

Like half an hour is fine, or I look for it myself , I’m quick

[soft swan]

Much as I like tech, i might find that a bit boring

[jaunty compass]

I must a b s o r b more information relating to things I give a shit about

[opal thunder]

🧠 i agree

[urban thistle]

They brought the intro back!!!

[opal thunder]

This thing wants more wrinkles.

[jaunty compass]

I didn't realize it was gone ngl

[opal thunder]

same

[urban thistle]

It’s been gone for like five months

[opal thunder]

i was literally watching the video as you said it btw

[jaunty compass]

I use revanced

So I'm pretty sure it would have been skipped anyway

I have it set to skip sponsor spots and maybe intros but I'm not completely sure

[opal thunder]

i had a look on a photography website and they said it was so cheap because there was no vat

[ionic abyss]

thats a tiny compressor

[manic torrent]

I'm sure this exists

[lilac bear]

give me a 100hr documentary series on a single man

[ionic abyss]

ok that is a tiny compressor

my phase change cooler takes up as much space as a mid tower

[shut lichen]

it doesn't need to be massive to cool a computer

[ionic abyss]

umm

[shut lichen]

the only reason the previous ones on the channel were is because they were made from AC units

[ionic abyss]

well i am able to push a 12700k to 7.3ghz

with my cooler and a few days of tweaking settings

latest bios update made me redo all my settings

[echo canopy]

I wonder if you could make a screw compressor work with a AC unit like a super charger

[manic torrent]

you can, but it makes no sense

Suggestions on the other parts?
My friends wants it all white and price not a problem

[neon mesa]

there's no point

price no limit, just pick whatever

you can't really go wrong going with expensive ones
whether or not you're overpaying is a different story

[echo canopy]

They’re quieter and cause less vibration by far cause they’re rotary. They’re heavily used in hospital applications for a reason

[shut lichen]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HqsfdH

if price isn't a problem, don't settle for a gigabyte card 😉

[proud cipher]

Asus Strix White?

[shut lichen]

look at the list and see

[proud cipher]

Is gigabyte bad?

[shut lichen]

in some ways, yes, in this way, well, no, but they're simply not the best, and when money isn't a problem, why settle for anything other than the best

[proud cipher]

ok the other card option would be strix white then

[shut lichen]

yes, as I put in the list

[proud cipher]

what about the other parts?

like PSU and fans storage etc

[gaunt urchin]

I am going to upgrade my GPU to a 7800xt. Is my AMD Ryzen 5 3600 good enough to drive it at 1440p?

[shut lichen]

depends what route you'd want to go. if sticking to the Lian Li 011, then I'd go for the white Lian Li unifans

idk if it's still available, but corsair used to do a white PSU

[proud cipher]

how is the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB 78.02 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

for cooling on the CPU?

[shut lichen]

I wouldn't use an NZXT aio

[proud cipher]

Any suggestions you could provide? Thank you very much for the help

[shut lichen]

looks like you're SOL on white PSUs at the moment, I don't see anything good in the pcpp list

[proud cipher]

Cable sleeves work?

[shut lichen]

in an 011 with price not being a problem, I'd do a custom loop lol

[shut lichen]

sleeves? nah, get a proper cable kit

[proud cipher]

011?

whats that may I ask？

[shut lichen]

the case

the case in the list you sent...

[shut lichen]

but if they don't want to do that, check reviews, lian li's white aios might be good, if not, then I'd probably go for one of the white corsair ones

[proud cipher]

I am not trusting her with building custom water loop herself lol

big issue there

[shut lichen]

eh, it's not really that hard, it's not like they have to go for hardline lol

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[proud cipher]

She will go crazy I'm not risking it 💀

[shut lichen]

lol

[proud cipher]

https://www.amazon.com/Lian-Li-Accessory-Galahad-RGB/dp/B08CYCWJKW
something like this?

[shut lichen]

like I said, check reviews. I know nothing about lian li's aios, so I'm not going to say if they're any good or not

[proud cipher]

Quick question why is NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB bad? does it leak?

[shut lichen]

NZXT is just meh in general

meh company, meh products

[proud cipher]

ok

[proud cipher]

how is ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB WHT All-in-one Liquid CPU Cooler with 360mm Radiator. ?

I think the looks are pretty good 349.99

[shut lichen]

same story as the lian li. check reviews

personally, I'd go for a corsair case, with corsair aios and fans
pretty safe option imo

[proud cipher]

She wants the looks as well and sent me a pic of something similar to Lian Li

O11 with the white theme

[shut lichen]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YQqJn6 an all corsair list with all LINK fans and a completely overkill but will last forever PSU with the smart stuff built in for power monitoring

[proud cipher]

how many fans will I need?

[shut lichen]

depends on the case

[proud cipher]

She wants O11

[shut lichen]

looking at the product photos then, looks like there's room for 9 fans

[proud cipher]

will 4090 fit in a O11?

[shut lichen]

of course

the 011 is fucking huge

[manic torrent]

easily

[manic torrent]

not as huge as you think! ( mean.... it's huge, but eh)

[shut lichen]

it's short because the PSU is in the back

[proud cipher]

what fans would you guys recommend?

for the look with the O11? the Lian Li ones?

[manic torrent]

When you put THICC radiators in it and a vertical GPU and a res etc, it really doesn't seem that big 🙂

[shut lichen]

in the 011, I'd use lian li unifans

[manic torrent]

Any fan you like really

[icy rock]

i see

[proud cipher]

Power Supply Recommends?

[proud cipher]

very cool

Idk what PSU is good currently

thoughts on this one?

idk about corsair PSU that much

[shut lichen]

good, but it's an older model

[proud cipher]

Last time I got was a 1200W superflower

[shut lichen]

you'll be wanting something new that comes with the plug for the 4090

so you don't have to use the adapter

[proud cipher]

would it be an overkill tho?

[manic torrent]

that particular one? yes. Something else more reserved but new? no

[dreamy rose]

at least 12VHPWR is fixed.

[shut lichen]

like I said, it'd be plenty for the current build and any future upgrades.

[proud cipher]

Ok

[dreamy rose]

who got warshipped?

[shut lichen]

there's also the one I included in the all corsair list before https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fFbRsY/corsair-hx1500i-2023-1500-w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020261-na

this one works?

[shut lichen]

everything I've sent works

[proud cipher]

[shut lichen]

you don't seem to be fully reading the messages that have been sent lol

[proud cipher]

I apologize for that

If i want white cables what will I need to purchase? strimmer?

[dreamy rose]

cablemod might do some white 12VHPWR cables for 4090s and such

[shut lichen]

if you go for the corsair, I know they sell their own coloured cable kits
for everything else, cablemod kits I guess

[proud cipher]

I plan to use the corsair PSU

so this one? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920224/premium-individually-sleeved-psu-cables-pro-kit-type-4-gen-4-aca-a-white-cp-8920224

[shut lichen]

yep the type 4 kits afaik
you'll want the seperate gpu cable, as they aren't included in the kit https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920332/premium-individually-sleeved-12-4pin-pcie-gen-5-12vhpwr-600w-cable-type-4-white-cp-8920332

[proud cipher]

Got it Ill grab both

[proud cipher]

Will I need to buy extra bc of 4090 PCIE?

[shut lichen]

yes, this is the 12vhpwr cable that plugs into the gpu

[proud cipher]

Yeah but I mean do I need to buy two sets of this since this only seems to come with two

[shut lichen]

what?

there is only one 12vhpwr needed

[proud cipher]

Ok cause I was confused due to I remember my GPU needed like 3 of the 8 pin so I was wondering if I need to purchase extra

[shut lichen]

those are the old type

regular pcie connectors

not 12vhpwr

[proud cipher]

ah ok

[proud cipher]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rdb6QP

how is this looking now?

is it fine?

[shut lichen]

I assume you'll be using 3 of the unifans on the aio?

[proud cipher]

is the asus fan not fine?

[shut lichen]

they wouldn't match

and you wouldn't need 3 sets of the unifans if you don't

[echo canopy]

why 2 m.2 2tb ssd instead of just 1 ssd? also if youre going balls to the walls with this build why not a sabrent PCIE gen 5 one?

[shut lichen]

to seperate games and stuff from the OS drive

[proud cipher]

ok so 1 set is for the AIO

[shut lichen]

good

[proud cipher]

6 for the case basically

got it any other parts suggestion?

[echo canopy]

Im still confused about why 2tb each. the game driver should be much larger and the OS drive does not need to be that big.

[shut lichen]

it all looks good, though I'd go for twice the ram, because why only have 32gb with a 14900k and 4090 lol

[proud cipher]

ok

[shut lichen]

for simplicity I guess

less hassle when all the drives are the same

[proud cipher]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sjGMCd
better now

Swapped it out with Corsair Dominator Titanium 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory

[neon mesa]

though i'd still get 7800x3D over 14900k even if i have infinite money

or 7950x3D

[shut lichen]

no one asked

[neon mesa]

well that person asked for suggestion

i don't give a fuck about you

[shut lichen]

they're asking about the other parts, the 14900K and 4090 have been set from the beginning

[proud cipher]

Ignore the CPU anything else needs improvements?

[neon mesa]

it's called a suggestion

[manic torrent]

That's the funny thing about discord... the asking is implied.

[echo canopy]

basically

[shut lichen]

all looks good

[echo canopy]

id get a bigger ssd lol

[neon mesa]

and i don't need people to ask first to give suggestion
whether or not they use the suggestion is not my problem

[proud cipher]

bigger ssd?

2tb *2 990pro is not enough?

[echo canopy]

yeah 2tb is kinda small, thats only like 4 copies of modern warfare 2

[proud cipher]

Well I feel like yall gonna yell at me for this

[shut lichen]

unless you're installing literally every modern stupidly large game, 2x 2tb is fine

[manic torrent]

I'd put a 2tb boot and 4tb data in it, but honestly 2x2 will probably be enough - but an extra 2gb will ne enough not to care

[dreamy rose]

i need to get a 2tb drive now. my 1tb is pretty full now

[neon mesa]

that thing is 500GB???

[proud cipher]

She is building this to only play League of Legend ...

[echo canopy]

300 something iirc

[proud cipher]

only game she gonna be playing anyways

[shut lichen]

there's plenty more m.2 slots on the board if they ever need more

[echo canopy]

oh its 150

i wonder if when you download the different "versions" of it does it become massive

[shut lichen]

more money and sense lol, but thats the fun of it
they'll probably find more games to play since they'll be able to run literally everything

[echo canopy]

you also have games like doom eternal that are 100gb on their own

[dreamy rose]

120 for a cheap 2TB SSD.

[proud cipher]

yep thats me couple years ago

[manic torrent]

I mean I can run everything and my PC cost a fraction of that

[proud cipher]

I overkilled for league as well with a 3k pc

[shut lichen]

when you have money, doing things for looks is fine

¯_(ツ)_/¯

did I need a i7 6800k and 1080 ti 6 years ago? lol no

[manic torrent]

when you have money, doing things for looks is fine

[dreamy rose]

any pc is overkill for league. because nobody should be touching it

[shut lichen]

has it lasted me well till today? yeah, if the x99 board didn't die and force me to buy a z590 and 11600k as a replacement

[neon mesa]

yes, i find it bad that people keep vindicating people who go for looks

[shut lichen]

1080 ti still going strong

[echo canopy]

yeah lemme just spend 2k usd on a wrap job for my shitbox of a car

[neon mesa]

there's nothing wrong with going for looks if you are gonna be happier with it

[shut lichen]

as long as you're not putting fake carbon fibre wrap on a car, yep

its not that efficient compared to new cards and is closer to mid range. it also has zero support for AV1 hardware decode thats becoming ever more important for HDR/4k encodes on netflix and even youtube

[shut lichen]

I bought this 6 years ago and can still run everything I play at max settings, so shush

[echo canopy]

a good investment 6 years ago but anyone telling you to get one is just giving terrible advice

[shut lichen]

no one ever said to buy one today?

lol

[echo canopy]

ive unironicaly seen people saying buy a used 1080ti still

[shut lichen]

I mean, it's not a bad card if you can get it stupidly cheap
you're really not going to need av1 anytime soon for normal use

[ionic abyss]

UBLOCK origin got warning from youtube

[echo canopy]

for HDR/4k encodes... yeah..... higher levels of Widevine require hardware support and cant be decode on your cpu

ive seen a few youtube videos now with only av1 encodes and not vp9. sure you can still software decode it (on normal videos) but its only going to become more of a problem

[manic torrent]

if you're running a 4k display with a 1080 then you've already gone wrong

[shut lichen]

^^

or 4k on a budget where a cheap used 1080 ti would make sense

like get your fucking priorities straight lol

[echo canopy]

There are still advantages of running higher res content on a lower res screen including higher bitrate and chroma subsampling

also notice how i said HDR seperatly not 4K HDR

[manic torrent]

honestly... netflix with HDR on a PC is asking for trouble anyway.

[echo canopy]

fair

[echo canopy]

on a budget and you can get it for dirt cheap it makes sense. but as general advice it does not.

im not saying YOU GOTTA UPGRADE BRO. that was never my intent

[shut lichen]

no one here right now ever said that, so Idk why tf you're bothering to say all this lol

[silk island]

you’re welcome

[proud cipher]

any 4k monitor suggestions for the PC?

[shut lichen]

4k? I wouldn't even with a 4090, at least for just gaming. but that's just my opinion lol

1440p 💪

[proud cipher]

why not?

[full fossil]

If CPU is the brain of the computer... Then what is the Motherboard...

[manic torrent]

LOOOOOL

I am using a 48" OLED 4k monitor ... I can't go back

[echo canopy]

frames matter more and at a acceptable distance from a monitor 1440 is "sharp enough" for most people to not notice

[ionic abyss]

wtf i just opened a bag of nuts with the warning "do not use as paper ass gasket in toilet"

[shut lichen]

well yeah, at that size, definitely 4k lol

[proud cipher]

so what monitor I should get？

She wants pink if possible

[ionic abyss]

was some one one someting when they wrote the label

[echo canopy]

size does not matter, the only thing that does is how much of your fov it covers or pixels per degree of vision

[manic torrent]

....

[shut lichen]

that just isn't going to happen unless you sacrifice specs

or take it apart and paint it yourself

[echo canopy]

thats how eyes work lol

[proud cipher]

then what would u recommend?

[manic torrent]

for most people in most situations the location of the user and monitor are relatively fixed, ergo, size matters.

[echo canopy]

would be suprised

[shut lichen]

idk about 4k options, but for 1440p I'd go for one of the ones using the LG Oled panels, like this one https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/monitors/cm-9030002-na/xeneon-27qhd240-27-inch-oled-2560x14400-240hz-gaming-display-cm-9030002-na

[manic torrent]

Not to mention that there is a real world effect on how you interact with things

[echo canopy]

yeah, the general size will effect how you use it but what resolution you "need" depends on how many pixels it would be per degree of vision

[manic torrent]

Yes, which is determined by size, because as discussed, the other factors are more or less pre-set

so "size doesn't matter" is a stupid thing to say

because it has to fit in with your available space, mounts, other monitors, blah blah blah

[chrome vector]

I'm too sketched out about burn in for OLED right now. Maybe someday. I have heard they are fixing burn in issues with something new(er). I don't remember now

[full fossil]

I got gnome to look somewhat like macos I like it a lot

this gui is 900000 times better then windows

[manic torrent]

OLED burn in is real, but it is also easy to avoid if you know what you are doing.

[echo canopy]

ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM has better out of the box color calibration

both are the same size and roughly the same specs besides that

[full fossil]

ngl ubuntu is on par with windows for how easy it is to use a 5 year old could figure ubuntu out

[echo canopy]

considering the first time i installed it it didnt even boot to the login page i would beg otherwise

and im not a anti linux person when i say that. I daily it. it just requires a few more brain cells

[manic torrent]

skill issue

[full fossil]

meh it did that to me but it was the boot orders fault lol

[echo canopy]

ubuntu skill issue. gave me outdated nvidia drivers that caused it to lock up at post

[strange elk]

hate

[full fossil]

it would display nothing and make my pc fans go full bore

[shut lichen]

but then you've got the weird rog stand. it's the same panel, just calibrate it if the stock calibration isn't good enough for you (which it probably is if you're just gaming lol)

[manic torrent]

soooo, nvidia driver issue

[long briar]

I first used Ubuntu when I was 8 (wont specify which version since hahaha) but it was NOT as easy to use. Especially compared to mac and windows at the time

[full fossil]

dual booting ubuntu and windows is odd ubuntu has 3-4 partitions and windows has one

[silk island]

Send ss hehe

[echo canopy]

It wasnt even nvidias drivers that was the issue. the issue was ubuntu gave me the wrong one

[long briar]

it's not easy to use enough that "a five year old can figure it out"

[full fossil]

I cant I can in tech chat though hang on

[echo canopy]

same panel but i assume the ROG pannel has some kind of better passive cooling as it has a much higher peak brightness

[shut lichen]

windows has 3

[full fossil]

put in techchat1

[long briar]

Windows has however many the installer chooses

[shut lichen]

which by default, is 3

[long briar]

sometimes it's 3, sometimes it's 5

[full fossil]

the dock is off

[long briar]

If you have recovery its more

if it's an oem system it's like, 6 or 7

[pliant karma]

lol once I went 1440 there was no going back although at times I am not picky unless I am picking out a laptop. But next upgrade 48 or more oled 4k monitor like Taran

[echo canopy]

you can only have one partition on ubuntu if youre a god damn monster

[pliant karma]

He edits, I edit I can use that space for my complicated timeline/workspaces

[shut lichen]

oem installations don't count in this. they do shit weirdly.
this is the default windows installation.

that includes the recovery partition

[echo canopy]

you mean chroot?

[long briar]

I normally get 4 tho

[echo canopy]

some OEM will add their own recovery parition seperate from windows own

[long briar]

one is only shown in the installer

[full fossil]

what's with the bread roll role lol

[long briar]

dw about it

[full fossil]

[shut lichen]

you needed to be here at the time to know

[echo canopy]

when LTT got canceled they embraced our lord and savior bread and the roll was avalabe for a limited time

[pliant karma]

something floatplane people came up with to divert during the ltt drama.

[full fossil]

I see I see

[echo canopy]

IT WAS NOT FLOATPLANE, it was the one true bread

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/iu-smile-wink-baguette-bread-gif-11920201

[strange elk]

Worked surprisingly well

[pliant karma]

even got a bread bible.

[long briar]

ok now shush

stop talking about it

[shut lichen]

wasn't diverting anything, we were sick of idiots asking stupid questions instead of reading/watching shit themselves

[echo canopy]

bread?

[chrome vector]

https://tenor.com/view/mukbang-food-mukbang-gifs-asmr-mukbang-korean-food-gif-22938572

[long briar]

we were diverting their questions to spam

which goes into sandwiches

[ionic abyss]

ok city skylines 2 bought

[echo canopy]

now play it

[full fossil]

eat fresh

[strange elk]

i.. hate mukbang

why is it a thing lmao

[echo canopy]

degnerates. Why do you think i have a anime PFP?

[pliant karma]

mines I've only used 250gb on it mostly just apps and nothing else

[ionic abyss]

downloading shall play controband police while downloadin

[shut lichen]

I've used 318gb of my boot drive because some fucking things don't let you change the install location, or install to appdata

or were installed via winget so i didn't get the option to see the installer

[echo canopy]

classic windows L

[pliant karma]

oh yea I get your pain basically that is what I have on my boot drive

moved page files and the app data folder to another drive ironically

[echo canopy]

did you link it?

[full fossil]

cuz you like anime?

[shut lichen]

not a windows problem at all?? it's the L of the asshole that make installers that don't let you choose the install location

[pliant karma]

ye

[vapid smelt]

because your a fucking weeb

[shut lichen]

and I'm pretty sure there's a winget option to show the installer, but I'm too lazy

[echo canopy]

.... because im a degenerate

[manic torrent]

same/same

[echo canopy]

its much easier to containerize and store something else on a seperate drive on linux, but yeah

[pliant karma]

lol now that I have wiztree open goddamn yea I should look through the stuff I have

[echo canopy]

liking anime is a side effect of being a degen. its not the same thing. some degens become what we call "furries"

[echo canopy]

2.1 GB of pure shader cache is weird when steam should already do that

[long briar]

warship really got a lot more 'laxed about that term huh

[full fossil]

liking cartoons is for degens ig

[sudden bough]

So YouTube blocks you if you don’t have cookies enabled?

[full fossil]

HOW ABOUT NO HOW ABOUT NO

[sudden bough]

Ok just a weird bug

[echo canopy]

get premium

[sudden bough]

Meh

I’ve gotten YouTube free since it came out and most of that ad blocked. Try harder google

[full fossil]

i feel like they added more ads in mobile YouTube also

[long briar]

No

[echo canopy]

they did it all roughly at the same time.

[sudden bough]

Like if I watch with ads. I get 2-3 unskippable ads per 15min video

That’s too much

[low rain]

Idk how people break their brackets, I’ve had braces for a while now and I eat everything, popcorn, gum, hard candy, literally everything and I haven’t broken a bracket

[manic torrent]

funny, I get no ads on youtube

[sudden bough]

Like it will do an ad mid sentence

[low rain]

But then my other friends have broken like 5 or 6 brackets

[echo canopy]

try laffy taffy

[sudden bough]

It’s hard stuff that breaks them. It’s sticky stuff

[low rain]

Also idk how people get cavities, I brush my teeth once a day and have never gotten a cavity but then one of my friends brushes twice a week but at one point got 8 cavities at once

[shut lichen]

twice a week 💀

[sudden bough]

Genetics

[low rain]

Twice a day

[manic torrent]

it's almost like there's a genetic component......

[sudden bough]

I get cavities all the time :/

[low rain]

I’m the only one in my family who never got a cavity

[sudden bough]

Doesn’t matter how much I brush

[echo canopy]

If there was it pales in comparison to your diets effect on it.

[shut lichen]

genes don't always get passed down
