[rustic holly]

I'm googling wth that is.

[full fossil]

alos, i got 200gb of storage and 2gb of ram

[rustic holly]

Same.

[vapid smelt]

thats yoda

[full fossil]

i can almost get it

[rustic holly]

I got one up on you.
1gb RAM

[rustic holly]

No the omen 45l

[full fossil]

all slots are full

[peak phoenix]

I can't get used to Gnome and I find MacOS fine. So...dunno. Everyone has a DE they'll prefer. But I use MacOS either for work or only on my personal MBP with no monitor.

Vs KDE on my desktop PC with 2 monitors. So different workflows.

[vapid smelt]

a bad hp pre-built

[full fossil]

wdym, it actually kinda good

my friend has it, he runs fortnite at 1080p with 213 fps in game

[rustic holly]

Badly optimised sometimes.

[full fossil]

oh, so ur saying i should build my own computer?

[rustic holly]

I use Microsoft visual code and that's all I care about and also the stupid shortcuts.

[full fossil]

my hand hurts everytime i touch my computer, and idk how, but the keyboard usb is infused into the case

[rustic holly]

I hate that command key so bad.

[rustic holly]

Wow hardwired keyboard.

[full fossil]

i can't pull it out, im not joking

[rustic holly]

Bro made his own adaptation of the apple display cable.

[full fossil]

what is that?

[dusky jacinth]

Weelll, for overall Linux install base, it's technically everywhere, yes.
Buuut if we're talking casual desktop/laptop use, that... Would go to Chrome OS, Steam OS 3, and uuhh... Yeah, that's it. Otherwise, in general for pcs, it's a very, very slow growth of users and that may or may not be changing much right now.

[dreamy rose]

its 6%

[rustic holly]

Basically the apple display had a power cable you couldn't pull out. (You could with force but not "according to the instructions")

[full fossil]

also, my monitor cable is starting to melt, imma turn off my computer and get on my apple mini from 2014

[rustic holly]

How?

Where do you live where its hot enough to melt your cables so easy?

[dreamy rose]

Why are you pushing 50V trough a NDMI cable?

[full fossil]

K I’m back

[rustic holly]

Bro built his setup in the oven

[full fossil]

Nah, the graphics card is getting really hot a lot though

[rustic holly]

It's impressive that you got you keyboard welding itself to your USB ports

[vapid smelt]

use ice

[dreamy rose]

you're not serious are you?

[full fossil]

I think Imma try to see what is going on

[rustic holly]

Have you ever opened that case?

[full fossil]

I’m being serious

[full fossil]

Tried, it was really hot

[rustic holly]

Pharos curse

[full fossil]

Oh, the fans aren’t spinning

Oh my gos, my room is all dusty now

[dreamy rose]

a GPU at max reaches like 100 c. that doesn't melt plastic

[rustic holly]

Open your case outside.

[full fossil]

Way too dusty

[rustic holly]

Bro got a dust storm.

🤣🤣

[full fossil]

It’s like filled to the brim with dust

[rustic holly]

I mean there's the problem

[full fossil]

I got this computer from my grandma

Idk why it still runs

[dreamy rose]

oh so its fire then

[rustic holly]

I need to see this.

Lol.

I want to see that gtx160

[full fossil]

My camera on my iPad doesn’t work

[rustic holly]

Do you not have a phone?

[full fossil]

And my webcam is not working either

[vapid smelt]

draw us what you see

[full fossil]

Nope

[rustic holly]

Dust.

[peak phoenix]

Meh, you get used to it. My main issue is that command+c vs ctrl+c I'll do the wrong thing sometimes.

[full fossil]

I see dust

And dust only

[rustic holly]

Coding is going to be universal nightmare.

[vapid smelt]

dead skin from your grandma

[rustic holly]

Especially making files.

[full fossil]

Dude..

[peak phoenix]

but like, MacOS Terminal ctrl+c is kill current command. Command+c is copy. That's nice.

[rustic holly]

Nah.

[full fossil]

She’s dead

[peak phoenix]

You just....get used to it. I've been coding on macOS for 2 years for work. Windows for 15 years before that.

[vapid smelt]

so its her skin cells in it

[spice pine]

most skin cells are

[full fossil]

Bro

[rustic holly]

Idk I'll think I'll stick to windows for now.

Hex editing and over stuff I want to do are windows only.

Trust me the hassle if I were to move all my work through to mac os is not worth my time.

[peak phoenix]

If you're compiling a large codebase, don't go MacOS. Or have a separate build machine. If you build locally you'll want a proper beefy system.

[rustic holly]

And also the price.

[rustic holly]

I just have 3 test benches.

I have 5 monitors and 6 computers in a single room in my house just for the sake of testing and stuff.

[peak phoenix]

I write code on MacOS, sync it to a beefy AWS VM and build it there.

[rustic holly]

Seems like a lot of effort.

[manic torrent]

looooooool

[peak phoenix]

Why?

[rustic holly]

Wth is an AWS virtual machine.

[peak phoenix]

We have a script that catches file changes and mirrors them on the linux vm

[rustic holly]

Never heard of such a term.

[peak phoenix]

AWS EC2

[manic torrent]

Amazon Web Services? Never heard of it?

[rustic holly]

Don't do websites. That's probably why.

[manic torrent]

It's kind of a big deal

[rustic holly]

I don't do Web.

[manic torrent]

uhhhh, yeah that aint it

[peak phoenix]

AWS isn't for websites lol

[rustic holly]

What is it for?

[peak phoenix]

It's cloud computing.

[rustic holly]

So you make a vm using a cloud computer?

[peak phoenix]

So CAN you host a website? Sure.

[manic torrent]

You are playing in the kiddy end of the pool

[rustic holly]

Well I'm not an experienced programmer.

[peak phoenix]

I mean, my VM exists somewhere in the PDX datacenter, sure.

[manic torrent]

generally if you're using AWS to do stuff like that, you're not running specific setups dedicated for you and only you, you're using resources designed for teams of people.

[rustic holly]

Makes sense.

[manic torrent]

generally you have some sort of CI/CD setup

[peak phoenix]

Yeah, to be clear what I'm doing is for my employer and we all do this - AWS EC2 VMs used for building code and such.

And yeah, we have CI/CD going.

[rustic holly]

Well I got to go. Its 1 am in my area and I'm exhausted.

[dreamy rose]

skill issue

[peak phoenix]

More caffiene. T3. Coke....

[dreamy rose]

nah just a skill issue that its 1AM

[rustic holly]

I don't drink coffee or energy drinks. Never did.

[dreamy rose]

i don't drink energy drinks regularly. i cant imagine doing so

[peak phoenix]

Also caffiene pills exist

[rustic holly]

Well I just live off of my own legs.

I don't really need this caffeine or anything.

[peak phoenix]

lol just wait until you're a developer that works a 9-5 day that doesn't end at 5 and still starts at 9.

[rustic holly]

I'll probably just drag myself through 🤣

[peak phoenix]

gl

[dreamy rose]

you mean starts at 5AM and ends at 5AM?

[peak phoenix]

Sounds like this week for me, yeah. On call for my team.

[vapid smelt]

thats when you fake your own death

[karmic flame]

ENJOY!

[peak phoenix]

Yeah but I still need money so....need the job.

Someday my hiring bonus stock will vest.

[vapid smelt]

[analog karma]

shouldve put a gigabyte psu to really keep it down

second hand is ideal too

[silk island]

Hehe I ordered this iPod Classic

Also fuck exchange rates

[vagrant sluice]

Is Avira good for antivirus

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zdfph3 here is a better one but with a weaker gpu

[sinful nexus]

Yes and no

[vapid smelt]

but why

[silk island]

Honestly? No

[silk island]

Why not?

[vagrant sluice]

Why not

[silk island]

I like owning my music lol

[analog karma]

actually decent

[silk island]

most antivirus software uses too many system resources and bog the system down especially if you don’t have a decently specced computer

[vagrant sluice]

It works fine for me tho

[silk island]

you do not need additional antivirus software on top of windows security

[analog karma]

i have a simple answer to this debate

[low rain]

24tb's holy shit

[analog karma]

mcafee

[silk island]

Go away

[vagrant sluice]

Windows Defender is horrible

[silk island]

It’s not

It’s gotten significantly better

[vagrant sluice]

It's literally the worst antivirus

[silk island]

It literally isn’t lol

[vagrant sluice]

It does not have real time scanning, etc

[analog karma]

guys wait

[silk island]

Yes, yes it does????

[low rain]

its christmas time

[analog karma]

best antivirus is

[vapid smelt]

[silk island]

Idc

most music doesn’t go past that anyway

[vagrant sluice]

Scanning for viruses takes 5x longer

With Microsoft Defender

[silk island]

As someone who actually uses Windows Security, no it doesn’t

[prime solstice]

linux

[vagrant sluice]

It did for me

[manic torrent]

that's 48khz sample rate, not 48kbps

[silk island]

if you need anything else other than windows security, you’re an idiot when it comes to using the internet

[analog karma]

protogent

[silk island]

no offense but that’s just the truth

you shouldn’t need antivirus software at all

[manic torrent]

most people are bad at security, but software won't save them

[vagrant sluice]

So trusting a German company more than an American company makes me an idiot?

[prime solstice]

but what if you download an antivirus thats a virus

[silk island]

No, but if you need an antivirus at all, you’re not that smart

[vagrant sluice]

Avira isn't plus their paid plans include a VPN

[silk island]

LMAOOOOO

I wouldn’t touch an antivirus vpn with a ten foot pole

[prime solstice]

i use u block with pia

[prime solstice]

same

[analog karma]

webroot

[vagrant sluice]

I'm confused why you're being such a jerk

[sinful nexus]

Use a free VPN

[silk island]

Because you don’t need avira

[low rain]

mcafee has a vpn and its not bad

[prime solstice]

most of those arent safe

[silk island]

please stop the cap

mcafee is literally the worst

[vapid smelt]

mcafee is so good they have to pay pc manufacturers to install it

[analog karma]

✅

[sinful nexus]

Yeah but better than using no VPN when you are on the darknet

[vagrant sluice]

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought Microsoft was shady

[prime solstice]

might aswell just make one

[sinful nexus]

Stop the cap

[vagrant sluice]

Sorry

[sinful nexus]

Yeah

[vagrant sluice]

I edited my message

[silk island]

They’re not

just it blast alarm sounds like avast does

[silk island]

pcmag lol

[vagrant sluice]

PC Mag is not even that bad

[prime solstice]

ngl if you want a free vpn make one otherwise just pay for some because those free ones arent really safe

[vagrant sluice]

Have fun responding to DMCA requests

[sinful nexus]

Yeah

[vagrant sluice]

You realize Nord or Express VPN provide a lot more protection than your own VPN

[prime solstice]

ik but also making your own means you dont have to pay for a server

[low rain]

i might js buy some more storage

[sinful nexus]

Thats Right

[sinful nexus]

You have more than me

[prime solstice]

why get that when you can do that download more ram but do that for hard drive space

[sinful nexus]

I have 512 gigs and now only 70gigs free and i use a laptop and it has one ssd slot

[sinful nexus]

Then is Nord / Express VPN better to use

[prime solstice]

idk i use pia (private internet access)

[slow fern]

Should I spend 500$ on a macbook air m1 (8gb ram + 256gb) OR 500$ on a macbook pro 2019 core i9 ( 16GB RAM + 500 GB SSD)

[prime solstice]

I made my own using a block of wood and a metal pipe with a hook on it

[dreamy rose]

PC

[slow fern]

Already got one

I can't carry around the PC for uni classes

[dreamy rose]

a laptop is a PC

[random jolt]

depends on what u need from a laptop tbh, if u mostly need webapps/browser and some basic word/pptx stuff a mac is gonna be a lot better but if u need anything like revit/cad or u want to game at all a windows laptop is going to be a lot better

[slow fern]

oh i thought you meant pc in terms of desktop

[slow fern]

I already have a gaming desktop and a gaming laptop ( R7 6800H + 3070Ti) which are perfect for gaming

but the gaming laptop is simply too heavy to carry around for classes

around 3.7 KG with the power brick

[random jolt]

is there anything u need software wise on windows? if not imo a mac is gonna be a lot better qol wise

[dreamy rose]

a PC is an x86 system capable of compatibility with the IBM PC 5150. not specific formfactors.

[random jolt]

I'm stuck with a brick of a laptop cuz I need revit/vray but if I can I'd def go with a mac rn for the battery life and perf away from a plug

[dreamy rose]

ryzen

[slow fern]

Nothing much , I just need it for basic browsing and most importantly i need the battery to last for a few hours and not weigh as much as my gaming laptop

[random jolt]

yeah a mac sounds a lot better for u

m1 is more than enough for browser stuff and general use

and the battery life is gonna be a lot better than anything on the pc side of things unless it's got the new snapdragon x thing which is still untested rn

[slow fern]

Would you recommend the m1 macbook (with 8gb ram + 256gb storage) or 2019 macbook i9-9880H (16gb ram + 512gb ssd , also has touch bar )

[random jolt]

yeah a m1 is gonna be a lot better for battery life and useability and future support

[slow fern]

Hmm alrighty

they both are basically the same price as well

[dreamy rose]

but you can use a less crap OS with much support on the I9 Mac

[slow fern]

after like browsing around a bit , people seem to say that the i9 has overall better cpu performance but a bit worser battery life

[random jolt]

yeah but for their use case macos is gonna be fine

I mean do u need the perf for web browsing tho

[slow fern]

not really but the extra ram and storage would definitely be useful

[dreamy rose]

so would Linux. but they can have shit that makes it hard to connect to any Wifi provided

[random jolt]

idk if they are down to mess with linux tho if they have to ask for help with picking a laptop

yeah the storage is the one thing that's a bit :/

[split shard]

guys my ssd screw is stuck to mobo and im unable to install a new ssd, what do i do

[dreamy rose]

they wont need help if they don't fuck around with system files

[random jolt]

yeah but which is more user friendly atm

[slow fern]

I have used macos , windows and linux and overall windows is the best for gaming and stuff while macos seem to be better for the average person and linux was just hell to figure out and do basic things

[dreamy rose]

Linux isn't this user nightmare people make it out to be;

[random jolt]

I get it, personally would go for a framework with pop os or something but for the vast majority of people macs are just easier

[slow fern]

it definitely is a nightmare for the average person

[dreamy rose]

sure isn't.

[slow fern]

i just found it obsecure that i had to use the terminal for almost everything

like even compressing a folder

[dreamy rose]

and you don't

[slow fern]

maybe its easier now

[random jolt]

well, there's ur answer for this particular case

[slow fern]

but when I used linux , it was definitely not easy

[dreamy rose]

you rarely need to touch the command line,

[manic torrent]

the problem here is that "linux" isn't a complete end to end desktop operating system - It varies wildly depending on what distribution you're using.

[restive lion]

(if you're using linux you are not an average person)

please keep in mind that universities have issues with people who don't know what a filesystem is now

the mere concept of a package manager (even if skinned with a GUI) would be utterly incomprehensible to your average joe who just wants to open the computer and fire up plateup or ms excel

[dusky jacinth]

Well then you can just call it by it's other name that Apple called it: an "app store", specifically if you're referring to the GUI skinned pms, especially in more desktop focused distros like Zorin, Solus, or Pop!.

[opal thunder]

Zorin is one of the most user friendly distros for new users coming from windows.

[dusky jacinth]

That I can agree with. Even if it wasn't able to fully match the thematic design flexibility with the desktop like let's Feren OS could out of the box, Zorin was very simple for me to get into using right away.

They even have a very Apple-like, app store-style skinned package manager that is easy to navigate.

[opal thunder]

it was my first linux distro btw

[dusky jacinth]

So as much that it puts Solus' to shame in terms of naviation and even makes something like Canonical's Discover manager look kinda lacking.

[opal thunder]

only reason im still using windows after the fact is that i kind of want to be able to play games day 1 and play indie games

[dusky jacinth]

Mmm.
I have to say as far as gaming goes, it's at least impressive now how about 12k of most pc games and console-to-pc ports at least are playable on Linux via Wine/Proton/DXVK.
Though I guess we're still not totally there, especially with online play.
I think there's more going on there that they need to figure out before that becomes less an issue.

[pliant karma]

lol 90% of my games I have can't on linux so that is fun though tbf I play more Sim games then usual

ahemm forza motorsport 8 been grinding it a lot since early access

[opal thunder]

I can't even play the game at max settings on my rig 😭

specs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sK2ygB

[pliant karma]

oh yea I did that in MSFS2020 and FM8 instant regret my fps just chugs with a 3070

20/15 pretty much unplayble

[opal thunder]

a bunch of new launches are like this even for my spaceship

[dusky jacinth]

I still kinda find it ironic that you can have game servers run on a Linux distro, develop software (including games) in Linux, port from Linux to Windows or Mac OS without much hassle, but yet somehow you can't make anti-cheats or online gaming infrastructure accept Linux players without a hitch or find a way to make them work fairly.

[opal thunder]

ksp2, forza, city skylines 2

[pliant karma]

oh yea and there is also Adobe basically my job as an editor

so linux is more of a side project

/fun screw around that I can't daily drive

[dusky jacinth]

Didn't Adobe make web based stuff too, or were those like only a few of the suite and only basic stuff?

[pliant karma]

yea they have that too but simple

Premier Rush and Adobe Express are a few I can think of

[restive lion]

Lmao premier pro as a web service

What a horrifying idea

[dusky jacinth]

As someone who moved away from Adobe years ago (as an artist and hobby animator), I'd like to counter with the Linux alternatives that have even industry/professional grade use so far.
Just that... It's hard to deny that really much of anyone has managed to close in on parity to Adobe's use of synergy between their apps, let alone full competitive parity to their features overall, so it's just like...

[restive lion]

Alternatives aren't really an option when it comes to your job, because everyone else is using it and expects you to as well. Same shit with libre office

[dusky jacinth]

I get the point that I too stand with where you don't need them as much as before, as the alternatives are almost about there anyway and we even get commercial stuff on the UNIX side, but it's just... Eh.
Yeah, Adobe's stranglehold since the Macintosh days.

[pliant karma]

then again I have dropped about 400/500$ in addons for premeire so it's costly on my end moving to another NLE

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, and even with all the alternative options, it's just like... It doesn't play off the same.

[restive lion]

There's also not really a good alternative to after effects tbh. Even apples motion app sucks comparatively

[dusky jacinth]

If you're doing a personal setup with a distro and use open source apps for yourself, it's easier to do, but... If you work in a company that doesn't work around them or can find rhyme or reason to, then it becomes complicated.

[manic torrent]

You can run a linux workflow with resolve, I know it's absolutely being used commercially

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, but then like... How many can afford the time and patience to try moving over to Resolve from Premier or After Effects so easily too?

[manic torrent]

but yeah when you work for a company... you use the tools they have chosen.

[restive lion]

Also this is a super easy answer: supporting Linux is a pain in the ass. Many game studios report that when they support Linux, that 1% of their user base generates 70% of their support tickets and bug reports

[manic torrent]

I'm simply saying that it is genuinely possible - it's not easy

[dusky jacinth]

I can stand to bring back up that Linus literally tried to do that and... It just didn't work out, even though he wanted it to.

[manic torrent]

which is overblown, BUT ... not entirely without merit.

the problem is one of critical mass. Managing a fleet of windows machines - you probably already have tooling in place

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, and because they're a very small minority, you're gonna get a lot from the same place.

[restive lion]

Linux being so diverse is also its Achilles heel for game stuff

[manic torrent]

It's like moving to a new cloud provider. Setting up an AWS environment is months of work, and the cost for the first system is $bajillion, and the cost for the second is comparatively $fuckall

[dusky jacinth]

And it's hard to address some niche area that barely gives you enough anyway, and then you have everyone else on the more major OS' that are already battle-tested and built for games.

[manic torrent]

I mean shit, I'm migrating LITERALLY 6 users from exchange to google and it's a pain in the ass.

[dusky jacinth]

Game development could be easier to do on Linux because of stability, easier troubleshooting, and maybe less annoyances and lost time and projects from crashes and other issues that often tend to happen on most Windows machines.

[manic torrent]

because it's most of the same work I'd have to do for 600

[restive lion]

Linux and stability you say

[dusky jacinth]

Gaming on Linux on the other hand is hard ball though and that I can understand.

[restive lion]

Me when pulsaudio decides I looked at it funny

[manic torrent]

pipewire >>>>>>>>>>>>

[dusky jacinth]

Well now that is another story.
Pretty sure PA is also used with the BSD family too.
That one's just weird. There's a way to make it work, it's just...
Yeah, when it comes audio stuff in the world of open source, things get weird fast.

[manic torrent]

seriously pipewire is the solution to all of that

[dusky jacinth]

Most of it is just due to vendor support being very limited.

[manic torrent]

a) compatible with alsa and pulse and jack

b) fucking awesome

[dusky jacinth]

Hmm.

[manic torrent]

now, there are some issues still with the auto magic front ends, but the backend is absolutely solved now.

[dusky jacinth]

Well, I have heard of Pipewire, but I've not seen implemented in the distros I've been in so far. Maybe it's just my timing or something. I dunno.

[manic torrent]

seriously I am using pipewire to route audio for my local systems and it's basically magic.

[restive lion]

I do not wish to spend my time fucking with my computer because the nvidia drivers decided to choose violence, so instead I just use windows and macOS

[dusky jacinth]

That's strange to me because I've used Solus with Nvidia's binary blob and haven't had issues.

[restive lion]

I hear running the community drivers is also an exciting time

[dusky jacinth]

Though then again, I barely pushed things much anyway at that time, so maybe I haven't gotten far there.

Now though, if I ever tried it out again, I won't have that problem at all because I have a 7900XT anyway. Lol.

[manic torrent]

Pipewire.

[restive lion]

Ooh fun

I'd like something like that on windows

Instead of fuckin voicemeter

[manic torrent]

yeah it makes voicemeeter look real fuckin stupid

and don't get me wrong I like voicemeeter, but it's VERY hardcoded.

[dusky jacinth]

It's honestly more painful when it comes to Wayland.

[restive lion]

I'd also just like a routing solution on mac

[dusky jacinth]

Nvidia can't get it right for some reason, and since the majority have their hardware, it's a massive pain in the ass keeping people on X11.

[restive lion]

Anything would do

[manic torrent]

errrr mac has audio routing natively?

[restive lion]

Yeah but it sucks balls

[manic torrent]

orly? I haven't used it

[dusky jacinth]

Well that's news to me.

[manic torrent]

actually I might work on my pipewire interface library tonight

[restive lion]

Their audio routing is basically just pick a destination and pick a volume

[dusky jacinth]

Mac OS is used often for audio workstations and has some of the best DAWs and audio software around. Hearing that now, now I'm like "the hell did Apple break now?"

[balmy anchor]

[restive lion]

Oh that's cause the DAWs implement it

[dusky jacinth]

Oh.

So basically... The workaround then.

[manic torrent]

yeah when you're using a DAW it does its own routing

[restive lion]

Tbf the thing about macOS is that it doesn't really get in your way for audio shit

Running ableton on a dev devices is a real fun time tho lol

[dusky jacinth]

Funny it can do that, but it won't work for you when trying to set stuff or just try to make your screen not turn off or go straight back to the login because it takes so long to reload back into your account.

Definitely speaking from experience with the family iMac.

[manic torrent]

pipewire is just... all the fundamentals are fucking there. It Just Works.

[restive lion]

The permissions array hurts

[restive lion]

Family computers always suck balls tho

[dusky jacinth]

Wow... The thing that hurts me is how it's all just... Right there and it can be changed easily like setting values in a game save file.

[restive lion]

Presumably because someone keeps downloading viruses

[dusky jacinth]

Ours in particular is pretty bad because something always seems to go wrong with them.

And then ironically, one of us (for some reason me out of everybody) gets blamed for it and even when reasoned out years later, you never hear the end of it.

[manic torrent]

yeah but that it has nodes and ports and you connect them to each other and it handles the conversions seamlessly, and you can route things however you like, it's absolutely beautiful. Particularly for me because I now have an entirely arbitrarily routable local setup INCLUDING surround.

[restive lion]

Yeah that's pretty neat

[dusky jacinth]

Damn, I wish I knew that much about Pipewire before. Then I could've had that all set.

[restive lion]

Fortunately my sound setup is not that complex

[dusky jacinth]

Too bad though that my decision to go Solus on my rig post building it ended up not making as much sense as the original idea went.

[restive lion]

Since I don't do audio shit

[manic torrent]

Voicemeeter->VBAN->pipewire->output is the perfect setup for shared audio

[olive stump]

Yooo we talking about how awesome pipewire is?

[manic torrent]

dogshit if it's wireless, but fine over wired

[olive stump]

Im so glad it’s being pushed downstream so much now

[dusky jacinth]

As for audio stuff, it's apparently a weird case when it comes to audio gear like current day midi controllers and such.

[manic torrent]

also most audio people don't know shit about fuck about computers, and overpay like crazy because stuff "isn't compatible"

but so much midi stuff is a disasterfire.

[restive lion]

Midi is a disaster in of itself

[manic torrent]

oh for sure.

[dusky jacinth]

Sigh...
And yet, it's complicated because it's all that's there, but Windows and Mac gets all the drivers for stuff.

Plus, things get weirdly segmented with a lot of the DAWs and programs too for some of the controllers you can get.

[manic torrent]

ironically, you can achieve far more in linux with audio than in windows

windows audio is a goddamn fucking disaster.

Get/set the speaker setup with an API. I'll wait.

[restive lion]

I don't understand how it's so bad

[manic torrent]

The speaker setup is still the windows XP dialog.

[dusky jacinth]

Originally, I wanted to get a Seaboard Block, but I couldn't because I realized it wasn't compatible with a lot of DAWs and such and they kinda use their own.

So I ended up getting a Novation Launchkey MKII instead because of seamless integration with Ableton Live.
Problem with that is for... The easiest fully featured DAW to get, it's probably the most confusing thing I ever used when it comes to configuring stuff.

[manic torrent]

yerp.

I need to actually start work on my area audio management system.

[dusky jacinth]

I even gave my little brother a shot at it, since he had been dabbling with various audio programs as he was into music at the time, and after an hour or two... He literally gave up on Live.

[manic torrent]

Because holy shit there is a missing hole in the market.

I mean it's all open source, but that's what people need

[dusky jacinth]

I just don't know what to do with it.
I mean... To be fair, I came from simpler stuff from many years before, namely like Acid Pro before Sony bought that IP out.

[restive lion]

Live is certainly something

[dusky jacinth]

So it was more like... Experience with simpler stuff that might as well be tracker or sequencer and such.

[manic torrent]

https://github.com/hrdwrbob/curtain/blob/main/docs/plumbjammer.md

[dusky jacinth]

Come to Live now, hell even testing out FL-Studio once with the demo version, and... I was easily overwhelmed.

LMMS had the same effect for me too somewhat.

[olive stump]

Linux driver support has gotten a lot better

It really falls down when drivers for audio gear need to implement spatial audio or other processing tricks to get decent sound quality

So a bunch of laptops and g*mer headsets end up being total ass on Linux

[manic torrent]

haha, my XPS13 starts wavessvc audio processor every time it boots

... and it uses up lots of CPU and sets it on fire

so I kill it every time, because what the actual fuck

[low rain]

On best buy you can get Apple Music for free for four months

[olive stump]

God so Dell continues their dogshit support with Linux?

[manic torrent]

lol no that's in windows

[olive stump]

LMAO

[low rain]

It’s almost 1AM and I have to wake up at 6AM but I’ll probably oversleep so I might js stay up

[olive stump]

v glad we live in an age where generic drivers are really well adopted

HW companies cbfed doing their own drivers anymore which is GOOD

[slow fern]

should i pull the trigger on the 2019 macbook for 500$ ( its 400$ but canada has 12% tax and the shipping is like 50$ )

or should i spend that 500$ on a m1 macbook with lesser ram and storage

[carmine stirrup]

It's almost 4 am and I have to get up at 4am 😭

[slow fern]

aaa im very tempted to get the i9 macbook

[carmine stirrup]

Is the m1 only $500 too?

[slow fern]

yep

basically the same price

[graceful burrow]

I9 MacBook is goated if you like overheating and severe throttling

[slow fern]

the 2019 version got the over heating and throttling problems fixed

[graceful burrow]

[slow fern]

but the 2018 version was hot garbage

[graceful burrow]

Wouldn't catch me dead buying an Intel Mac over an m1 Mac ngl

[slow fern]

hmmm

Alright then I'll wait till tomorrow to see if i get any better deals on an m1 mac

[carmine stirrup]

I guess if the m1 has 16gb RAM and a 512ssd I'd go with it. But not if it has less

[slow fern]

the m1 has only 8gb and 256gb ssd

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah...no

[slow fern]

which is basically the thing holding me back

I do know that I need more than 8gb ram and definitely more than 256gb

[carmine stirrup]

8gb is a joke in 2023

[slow fern]

8gb is okay on macbooks cause apple highly optimizes macos but its still not enough

like a few chrome tabs and one application is enough to choke it

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah... Or Photoshop, or a game with 4k textures

[graceful burrow]

You ain't gaming on an m1 Mac kek

[slow fern]

yeah thats true

[graceful burrow]

(textures would be vram anyway)

[gilded hornet]

hello

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia will never get it right because they can't be a passable company

[fierce moth]

@graceful burrow just ordered the pi 5

[vapid zephyr]

What are you gonna do with it anyway

[fierce moth]

Emulation

Ik I'm the og hardware dude but I wanna test the power

[vapid zephyr]

Ic

Didn't even know you could properly emulate on a pi at all, good to know

[fierce moth]

Some people got it pre release and they could do upto gamecube

And some wii

[vapid zephyr]

So probably no 3DS emulation huh

Oh well

[fierce moth]

Nah

[polar fern]

My girlfriend is in the hospital overnight with some pretty scary but very manageable health issues that we caught last moment

I was sitting in her car after driving her there for eight hours

Wasn’t sure when she would be discharged

Never take good health for granted

[slow fern]

Why is the hospital 8 hours away

[spice sand]

that is honestly a good question lol

[vapid zephyr]

That shit happens when you live in the US countryside

That doesn't even apply to the countryside either, the chance is very high your county (irrelevant of the US) doesn't have a hospital nearby even in a town of thousands of people or more, you just gotta hope there's one next town or roll the dice you can get to the next city in time

[vapid cypress]

You can easily die in that time

[random jolt]

yeah if u live mostly in cities u’d be surprised at how few amenities u get once u go out of population centers

[dreamy rose]

fr? i mean surely you were aware of NES SNES And early stuff right? a pi 5 should do dreamcast somewhat now.

[vapid cypress]

There is a hospital 5 minutes away from me

And it's a small town of 10k people

[polar fern]

@slow fern the hospital is fairly close by, but I was sitting in the car for eight hours

They just literally took forever

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, then you're in a lucky situation, where I am right now the next hospital is around 40 miles away and it's a town of 15,000 people as well

And even at my home prefecture with a massive ass city in it (Compared to the size of the prefecture anyways kek) the next hospital was at least 30 miles away

80 if you're unlucky kek

[vapid cypress]

That's awful

Let alone drive the patient in high speed risking yourself to a car crash

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, in urgent urgent emergencies if you were lucky some soldiers on the island were willing to vouch and take you to a nearby military hospital via helicopter kek

i need to get a 2TB Drive and it turns out the SSD is even cheaper so fuck it all SSD storage. i love how cheap SSD storage is.

[obtuse mirage]

yea hard drives are kinda bad at this point lol

[karmic wedge]

yeah it's like NZD$75/TB of NVME atm, on par with hard drives now

[dreamy rose]

they are dead

[obtuse mirage]

i mean, what are we up to now per drive, 22Tb for 500$?

if you wanna do mass storage then MAYBE

but other than that

ssds are much cheaper

[karmic wedge]

Yeah, only use case for hard drives now is mass storage

[dreamy rose]

2TB HDD for 150 vs 2TB SSD (no DRAM tho) for 120? steal

[karmic wedge]

No DRAM, but that'll still rip for sure

[obtuse mirage]

120? i saw a 2tb NVME M.2 for $90!

Is the Steam Deck worth getting?

[vapid smelt]

For me it was since I use it at work

[gilded forge]

it's a smol Linux PC. so yes.

[fallow pine]

guys should i buy the 12400f for my current 2060 because i currently have i5-8600k and it is very slow so i want to know the best proccessor i can get for the 2060

[vagrant sluice]

Thanks. I want to get something that would allow me to game on the go.

[vapid smelt]

What's your budget and country you live in

[gilded forge]

I use mine not only for gaming. it's actually a pretty competent machine to just dock and use it on a monitor.

[fallow pine]

i live in the uae and my budget is around 217$, i know it is low but i need to also get a mobo (not including the 217$)

[vapid smelt]

What your budget in your currency

[vagrant sluice]

You can use it with a minitor?

[fallow pine]

800 dirhams

[vapid smelt]

How much is a used i7 8700k?

[vapid smelt]

With a dock yes

[vagrant sluice]

Nice

[fallow pine]

well idk how much is the used one but the new is around 1552 dirhams which is the same price as the i7-14700k

[stoic beacon]

Just a note on that, please save yourself the headache and get the official dock instead of some gimmick $35 Chinese one...

[gilded quest]

So how do you feel about the apple magic mouse

[sudden bough]

The Magic Mouse is terrible and dumb how to charge it

I had one

[restive lion]

I enjoy my magic mouse

It runs on double As so no fucked up charging for me

[sudden bough]

Did they change it?

[restive lion]

Yeah it used to be AAs now it's stupid

It's also unergonomic as fuck but that's fine I hate my hands anyways

[vapid smelt]

My charger is not in the Bottom so it's 666% better than a magic mouse

[heady orchid]

its over bros chrome removed the download bar forever

don't be weird. use firefox

[slow fern]

Is 500$ (700 CAD) for an M1 Macbook Air (8GB ram + 256GB) worth it?

[sudden bough]

general rule. if you have to ask then no.

[dusty rune]

idk bout that

if you need it for college or smth, its good

[sudden bough]

then it would be worth it

[gilded quest]

Or haven't tried a different mouse in the last 10 years

[gilded quest]

Yes unless it's in shit condition

[slow fern]

It seems to be in good condition

I’ll post pics in the tech chat #1

#tech-chat-1

[gilded quest]

That's a decent deal on an M1 air. I like mine quite a bit

[slow fern]

Do you have yours with 8GB ram?

[gilded quest]

Yep

8/256, base model m1

[slow fern]

Have you run into any problems with the 8gb or is it adequate for most things?

[gilded quest]

It very depends what you're doing

My MacBook is a glorified Chromebook these days, so no issue

It'll handle light xcode tasks just fine

But I would be conscious of not leaving everything running all the time

Cause when you are starting to swap heavily, it is noticeable. Not unusable, but noticeable

[slow fern]

I’ll be just using it for uni , basic browsing, MS Office stuff, MS visual studio, occasionally compiling apps on xcode and maybe simulating a device on xcode.

[gilded quest]

If it's for uni it's probably gonna be smaller coding projects anyways

So you should be fine

And if you need more storage, USB SSD are cheap these days

[slow fern]

Also occasionally running photoshop

[gilded quest]

Never used Photoshop but it handles Lightroom CC fine

[slow fern]

I think I can manage with the storage

Just a bit worried about the ram

[gilded quest]

I think for the price it's fine

[slow fern]

My other option was a macbook pro core-I9 2019 with 16GB ram + 512GB ssd for basically the same price

[gilded quest]

And considering a lot of university work can be done on a Chromebook

Naw get apple silicon. The battery life is worth it

[slow fern]

And i saw a lot of posts about the fans going brrrrrrrrrr so loud

And thermal throttling issues

( although the posts were about 16” macbooks rather than the 15” macbook i was looking at )

i was waiting for atlas v0.3 but they apparently botched the launch

I was going to do it but mobile discord sucks

[graceful burrow]

Discord sucks in general

[vapid cypress]

You write down the role and it never comes up

[vapid cypress]

Trueeee

[gilded forge]

you could buy the Microsoft arc (it bends!)

[hasty helm]

my mind is hurting looking at this mouse

[vapid cypress]

You cant fool me its a magic mouse skin

did Drand sponsor you?

[pliant karma]

[carmine stirrup]

I have that mouse 🙂

[deep sedge]

[pliant karma]

My friend bought that mouse too recently

[pliant karma]

had that happen to mines during my freshman year HS

the friday before Spring break too not many people came to campus so it was very empty but was a joke but I knew what they were trying to do

[dull granite]

i never had any school shooting treat

or anything similar
but i dont live in usa

[dreamy rose]

wonder why.

[crisp notch]

what happened to the server? i think there used to be more channels here

[echo canopy]

Mental health crisis. Even in affluent non right leaning communities

Even gas attacks.

[dull granite]

how is twitter still allowed on the app store

[echo canopy]

Because the president is on it. Else it would have gotten removed just like tumbler

[dull granite]

first search result with safe search allegedly turned on

and not displaying inappropriate stuff

and the first result is some kind of liveleak nsfl video

on a trending tag/pharse

[echo canopy]

Or the sharing of illegal imagery that’s not even hard to find.

[dull granite]

glad i didn't see the nsfl part

i scrolled away in time

[dull granite]

who needs liveleak
who needs name of any website with gore content
you only need twitter

[dreamy rose]

guns, guns are the tool used in shootings.

[dull granite]

X, the all-in-one platform for all horrors beyond comprehension

[crisp notch]

why are gore sites even a thing? i know they exist but i never understood why they exist

[dull granite]

X, like the ultimate x-website - you can post literally everything

[dreamy rose]

Elon wants to rip off china

[pure olive]

:3

[dull granite]

1. morbid curiosity
2. some people are horrible
3. um, and sometimes sites like liveleak were not only bad videos, but a legitimate news source

[pure olive]

funny

[dull granite]

even CNN used to show some liveleak videos

(ofc without nsfl)

[echo canopy]

For some people it’s smut. Mutahara from some ordinary gamers openly admits to watching cartel execution videos

[crisp notch]

horrible as in "he called me a poopy head now im gona ttaumatize him" or horrible as in mental challenges

[dull granite]

oh another thibg

thing

[echo canopy]

Most sane arch Linux user

[dull granite]

some people not regular trolls

but actually evil trolls

idk why they still call sending shock gore videos just "trolling"

like it's legitimately, actual cyber violence and other buzzwords

[dull granite]

... what

okay I'd drop this topic cuz it's kinda sensitive and not sfw

[crisp notch]

about liveleak being a news source, sometimes a news source can be [gore website i can't say here]

nothing more will be said from me on this topic i fear moderators

[dreamy rose]

you're suprised about that?

[vapid cypress]

Or idk maybe the fact that you can buy guns

[echo canopy]

It’s more common than you think.

[dull granite]

idc about mods etc, more like outside people maybe getting too curious or someone having to read about stuff they has bad experience with these stuffs

[dull granite]

umm nothing changed

except for a few channels

yours might be just turned off

[graceful burrow]

This convo sucks

[crisp notch]

ion think si

[dull granite]

you gotta enable them in the top thing

ion????

O_o

[crisp notch]

[graceful burrow]

How

[dull granite]

um

[crisp notch]

you don't get to know that

[dull granite]

[graceful burrow]

No but I can make absurdly wild speculations in my head

[echo canopy]

Yeah it’s kinda hard to collect this manny terminally online people

[crisp notch]

[real drift]

🍞 vs 🥖

[crisp notch]

[vapid cypress]

That is like Saitama vs Goku

But Saitama is clearly better (bread)

I swear I'm not a huge anime nerd

[glass stag]

Lies

[vapid cypress]

I'm only watching jujutsu kaisen rn, okay? 🥹

[vapid zephyr]

They're often used for news since that's where you usually get very much unfiltered information from

[crisp notch]

hm

[sudden bough]

People like gore

[vapid cypress]

I don't

Unless it's in a game then it's cool 😎

[night heron]

[tepid stirrup]

so i bought an 8gb ram stick second hand and when i opened teh packaging i realised it was actually a 16 gb ram stick, the one in my laptop rn is 8 gb, is it better to take the 8gb one out and only use the 16 gb stick or can i just use both and have 24 gigs of ram

I see the questions been asked here a few times before but theres been like 3 different answers ;_;

theyre both the same speed btw

[idle nymph]

Go for both

[tepid stirrup]

they are both 3200 mhz

[idle nymph]

Hé said they are the same speed already

So go for both honestly

Dual channel and more ram

[sudden bough]

yeah should be fine

[tepid stirrup]

poggers

[sudden bough]

if not just use the 16

[tepid stirrup]

thanks

[red plume]

Both

[night heron]

if you run both sticks the first 16GB will be dual channel

[red plume]

It will just run in flex mode

[night heron]

so there's no downside of running two

[tepid stirrup]

oh do i have to put teh 16 gb one in a specific slot?

[red plume]

2 and 4

Either or

[tepid stirrup]

theres only 2 slots on my laptop

[red plume]

Either or then

[tepid stirrup]

ok cool thanks

[sterile rivet]

My computer is dead

[gilded forge]

necromancy

[sterile rivet]

I tried removing all the parts and it won’t even post

[lone sinew]

orange or black mousepad chat?

[gilded forge]

both

[gilded forge]

have you tried going to your local repair shop

that could help. some things just need an expert do experty things

[sterile rivet]

I have not

[prime solstice]

I remember when my laptop died I was playing portal 2 on it I was using pop os then it stopped charging then it wouldn’t turn on even with the battery removed and the ram replaced

[gilded forge]

I'm looking on the Lenovo store at the Yoga Pro 9i ( in UK) but the Mini-LED isn't listed as an option in the configurator, neither is the 64gb of RAM. Will it ever come back in stock or nah? How does this usually go?

[harsh quartz]

thats a great question for lenovo

[lilac bear]

I will personally add this to the shop for you my good sir

[dusky jacinth]

I didn't realize until yesterday that you can use one of the controllers as a mouse instead a controller, that's awesome

And I put it on Paypal Credit, so I don't have to pay for it at the moment. I have 6 months to pay it back without interest. Love Paypal Credit, bought a lot of stuff through it. (That I already have the money for).
