[dull tapir]

kevin

also refuses to take sponsorhips

from companiess

[vapid cypress]

The worst kind of products are ones who are marked up on some website but they are just drop shipped and they advertise it on tiktok or shorts as this cool product you must buy

[dull tapir]

never checked those

i always try to find reliable sources

[vapid cypress]

You can find a ton of those if you are prone to that kind of things

The algorithm just pushes out the same stuff

[dull tapir]

most of gaming brands are also terrible

that are sponsored

[vapid cypress]

Anything sponsored is sus

Depending on the content creator if they have decency

[sudden bough]

What you don't want to wear sheath undies and drink AG1?

[vapid cypress]

I already got a secret lab chair so I already got sold once

[sudden bough]

is it any good?

i have an amazon basics chair for $50

[vapid cypress]

It is good

[sudden bough]

it does chair so

[vapid cypress]

I moved from a chair that wasn't for my size and it hurt my back so I measured my response

[dull tapir]

i got focus by uvi chair it is good and breathable

but not recommended for tall people

[sudden bough]

idk i wont upgrade a chair til this one stops chairing

[vapid cypress]

A lot of people saying to buy a used Herman Miller chair than a secret lab

But that's just kinda gross

[dull tapir]

most of my chairs break sooner or later

have you heard of chinese chairs made with no regulations explode

vacuum in them a few of them

[vapid cypress]

Yes

[dull tapir]

i was never a fan of gaming aka racing chairs herman miller is good but expensive

[vapid cypress]

They are like 1k, used idk

[dull tapir]

i mean if they stay and you sit on it for hours and have spare cash sure nice investment but i would not pay that much

they could be good

[vapid cypress]

I wouldn't pay either

I paid 480 for mine so basically a mid range phone

[dull tapir]

leather chairs are comfortable but too hot and most are cheap

yea mine was 180

pretty good you can check uvi focus

but tends to spin when i sit on it lol

to the left

idk why like a weight problem

[vapid cypress]

Yeah they don't eat sweat like the clothed ones

[vapid cypress]

Mine spins because of the old floor is uneven so 🤷

Old creaky wooden floor

[dull tapir]

i think hour house is sliding the the hill maybe because of that lol

ahh yes wooden floor

i just refurnitured my room

with new wooden floor and all

[vapid cypress]

There is also a gap in the floor

[dull tapir]

made custom maple fesk

[vapid cypress]

Air gap

[dull tapir]

ordered piece of wood and and bought ikea legs

wood ends to do that

if it is not tight

[vapid cypress]

I live in a dorm so not much I can do but it's recently fully renovated with new furniture and stuff

[dull tapir]

dorms are like that yes

you have to adapt to their furniture

[vapid cypress]

Yeah and I have to sit in a cheapest chair imaginable

These boys

Bare minimum

[dull tapir]

i used to have this one i still do in garage

it was decent and i used kitchen chairs too

[vapid cypress]

It's not my size and it curves weirdly no back pain thankfully

yet

Man I remember the previous chair, it was so bad it fell apart and it gave me nerve damage to the back it was so bad

I had to invent a way to hold the back piece

Because the plastic was so soft the screws eventually broke it and the back came off

[full fossil]

I think most mass produced chairs are not even close to ergonomic.

Manufactors be like Why even make chairs comfortable or back friendly…

[vapid cypress]

They are designed to break your back especially if you are just a bit taller

[vapid cypress]

Who needs ergonomics all we need is a resemblance of a chair

[full fossil]

Now you getting it

Sucks for the consumer

[vapid cypress]

Sucks for office workers

[full fossil]

Please spend at least $999 to have a half decent posture/back friendly chair

[vapid cypress]

As well

[vapid cypress]

It should be illegal honestly

[full fossil]

I’ve been through about 8 chairs in the last 5 years

[vapid cypress]

Dang

[full fossil]

Just cause they became unbearable

And some wore out

[sudden bough]

My Amazon basics has lasted me forever

[full fossil]

I tried a couple of “ergonomic” ones. “Gaming” ones. Posture ones

High end ones

[sudden bough]

Just do yoga

[vapid cypress]

What do you have now?

[full fossil]

You are going to lol on this

[vapid cypress]

I'm ready

[sudden bough]

👀

Kek. Is it good? I have a razor keypad thingy

[full fossil]

But I have some custom seat cushions and back cushions

[vapid cypress]

Which one

I looked at that one when looking at chairs

Specifically short circuit

[sudden bough]

It’s $500 on Amazon :d

[echo canopy]

I know what the fuck a voltage frequency curve is.

Overvolting is a killer because it causes the hotspots on your cpu to be wildly hotter then where you sensors are and the average.

Raw amperage won’t necessarily kill because it’s just more power. Sure if you run your cpu at 115C it’s going to die, but most people (and CPUs) are not that dumb.

Your cpu in the case of overvolting might not even know it’s killing itself

[full fossil]

It was actually comfortable believe it or not with a bit of tweaking

[vapid cypress]

Welding 😭

[sudden bough]

Does it massage or something?

[full fossil]

Nah it’s not that fancy

[sudden bough]

Why so expensive

[vapid cypress]

It has lumbar controls

[full fossil]

Yep

[vapid cypress]

I have them too but I don't even use it

[echo canopy]

If you want more information on this behavior watch buildzoilds video on ryzen overclocking

[vapid cypress]

Because razer

[sudden bough]

Yeah :/

[vapid cypress]

The brand

[full fossil]

The other option I was considering was secret labs

[sudden bough]

Amazon basics chair

[full fossil]

But they were fr too expensive

[vapid cypress]

They pretty cool tho you can replace the whole skin of it

For like 50 bucks

[sudden bough]

It was $50 when I bought it Amazon Basics Mesh Mid-Back Adjustable-Height 360-Degree Swivel Office Desk Chair with Armrests, Black https://a.co/d/cQGdb2u

[vapid cypress]

360 degree swivel?! Thas crazy

[sudden bough]

Yeah!

[vapid cypress]

Unreal

[full fossil]

Turn you right round

[sudden bough]

It has all the things. You can spin 360. Sit in it

All the things

[vapid cypress]

Even lean back???

[sudden bough]

I do that all the time!!!

[vapid cypress]

Woahhh

[sudden bough]

I sit in it weird too!

[full fossil]

This one Amazon basic trick will blow your mind

[sudden bough]

It squeaks sometimes when the nuts are lose and I’ve fell out of it twice

Tipped over when picking stuff up

[vapid cypress]

It better make that cartoon banana slip noise

[sudden bough]

No such feature

What about razers headsets?

They ok?

[vapid cypress]

I had a 50€ one but it fell apart

Probably because I tried to sleep with it multiple times

[sudden bough]

Hm

[vapid cypress]

The foam just yoinked out

[sudden bough]

😮

[vapid cypress]

Also it started cracking

[sudden bough]

:c

[vapid cypress]

Until it broke in half and the only thing that was holding it was the foam

I super glued that stuff 😭

And the black plastic turned white

[sudden bough]

Oh my

[vapid cypress]

I think it ended up in the trash after my brother cut the cord with a knife by accident

So to say it had a rough day it would be a understatement

[sudden bough]

:/

[sinful dome]

Does anyone have photoshop experience that can help me with something.

[sudden bough]

oh no, i'm not falling for that again 😐

anyone wanting any intresting twitch streams?

[full fossil]

Is there a way to make it so that windows always starts with no sound?

[dusty iris]

super reactions are now unlimited

[dull tapir]

you can remove sound in registry yes

but why bother

[harsh quartz]

Paying for emotes

[vapid cypress]

[shrewd sparrow]

You better remove those b4 mods see those

They might go at you for react spam

[ionic abyss]

The Chinese can sell stuff way cheaper than us I just saw a 9 piece luggage set for$8 with coupon

What it falls apart after one use

[full fossil]

I never use speakers

And when I do it’s on accident blasting my game out to the train I’m in😭

[dull tapir]

i always use speakers

why do you not put headphones on after it turns on

[full fossil]

I do but sometimes it doesn’t connect

And I have it so that the headphones can be connected to my phone and laptop at same time (but only one for audio)

So I though it connected and since I was listening to music I didn’t hear it blasting my game

[gray lantern]

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/chinas-accel-analog-chip-promises-to-outpace-industry-best-in-ai-acceleration-for-vision-tasks isnt a GPU doing gpu stuff? lol

[echo canopy]

Machine vision is just a LOT of fucking matrix multiplication and normalization. Game logic and rendering is a lot more dynamic and complex

That’s why specialized hardware like googles TPUs exist and why these companies don’t just make gpus

Claiming they’re the same is ignorance at best and at worse malicious

Similar to how a company figured out how to run ml on a nand flash chip but it can’t run fucking crisis

[surreal forge]

Visited the holy land today

[drifting topaz]

eyyyyyy you love to see it

[pliant karma]

the land of lawless decisions and crying wallets

[sudden bough]

Where at?

[surreal forge]

[sudden bough]

Oh my

[vapid smelt]

what gpu and or cpu/mbo combo did you buy?

[surreal forge]

They got 2tb crucial p3 pro gen 4×4 m.2 for $89

[median idol]

The Mecca of PC hardware stores

[surreal forge]

It's weird because every time I go I get hounded by salespeople all over the store except in the PC hardware section. I always have to wait to talk to a sales guy to get something out of a case.

[median idol]

Mine is in Madison Heights, MI

[graceful burrow]

I got hounded in that section
Had a really nice guy help me find stuff tho

[sudden bough]

They are always helping normies

[surreal forge]

It was an older couple they were helping

[vapid smelt]

smh its 4$ cheaper at bestbuy and amazon

[sudden bough]

I order online and pick it up at the desk

[surreal forge]

Bezos don't need my money tho

[sudden bough]

Yeah I buy Microcenter before bezos

[surreal forge]

It's legit a great store. I always buy a shirt at checkout too. They're great nerd shirts.

[sudden bough]

Also buy bawls

[surreal forge]

Lmg seriously needs to get in there

[graceful burrow]

If I had one near me I'd go often but the closest one is 4-5 hours away on a good day

[sudden bough]

I really like bawls

[graceful burrow]

They've been at microcenter more than a few times

[surreal forge]

I mean their merch

[sudden bough]

Yes this

Hm now I wanna go there :/

It’s 15 min from me

[surreal forge]

I am seriously surprised they haven't gotten that ball rolling. I remember Linus said on wan they were in discussions but they kinda fizzled or something. They really need to reopen that book.

[median idol]

I wish MC would carry Phanteks products

[surreal forge]

I drove 2 hours through northern VA traffic

My brother in-law wanted to shop monitors in person

linus playing with racing setups?

lol i still say he needs to look into a full sim cabinet setup but those are expensive

i have used a full sim cabinet for some flight sims and i know they can be configured for racing sims

[old yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-money-gif-25191018

[ionic abyss]

well i was at a friends house and he dropped like $120k on the sim cabinet

i cant afford one

im sure wrc can afford to sponser linus to get one

[old yacht]

I mean sponsors only sponsor what they think is worth, i doubt our audience would buy over 120K worth of copies to comp that sponsor lmao plus the racing sim in the lounge is good enough lol

[opal thunder]

Real

[ionic abyss]

well super high end flight/racing sim gear isnt close to cheap

[ionic abyss]

youtube has no clue

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

they are getting what they deserve

[harsh quartz]

But the content

[vapid smelt]

i have no clue who ltts sponsors are

[harsh quartz]

Dbrand is the only important one

[old yacht]

dbrand is the one we meme the most lmao

[harsh quartz]

Good

I, for one, have legitimately been more inclined to buy from them cause I like the sponsor bits

[faint stump]

🍞

[pliant karma]

lol i just ordered a dbrand skin

[harsh quartz]

Ngl I wish otterbox and dbrand were compatible, I would absolutely have a dbrand skin

[pliant karma]

hmm giving me jenk ideas lol

but yea 3rd order from dbrand in the last what 4 years

but for my laptop since I have a deep scratch on the lid

[ionic abyss]

i dont see the use for skins

mabey a scratched laptop

[full fossil]

It’s easier than finding a new panel for your laptop that you like

[dreamy rose]

that's basically a Macbook users worst nightmare because they are dumb enough to get ripped off and they MUST have it pristine oherwise they "look poor"

[fierce moth]

Even those it's probs gonna be my entire paycheck after bills and taxes

[vapid smelt]

just buy some nintendo earbuds with a bluetooth adapter

[gilded forge]

how does a multi billion dollar company makes such bad graphs

[gilded forge]

that's as bad as buying those nintendo licensed micro-sd cards.

[vapid smelt]

thats a thing?

my god

[gilded forge]

yup!

[lilac bear]

cause the vagueness helps to look impressive

[vapid smelt]

but they have a yoshi one

[lilac bear]

they cost like twice as much

[gilded forge]

the "also works with switch lite" kills me. like its a fucking sd card. it does sd card things.

[lilac bear]

it feels like those cables that go "works with android"

[gilded forge]

someone in my class went "the new iphone uses the android charger now"

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B08TJTCCV8 when did amazon start "making" sd cards?

[gilded forge]

420 (nice) for a pair of fucking wireless earphones?

[vapid smelt]

420 aud

[fierce moth]

The Australian dollar is fucked

We're currently trading at 0.65 us cents

[lilac bear]

XM5 pretty based
but yes wireless earbuds not from Raycon or Lenovo get expensive

[vapid smelt]

a popular brand for cheap but quality ssds

[gilded forge]

i hate the aussies what the fuck is this conversion rate

[lilac bear]

huh TIL

[gilded forge]

i didnt realize it was in aud, so 420 usd is batshit insane

[vapid smelt]

teamgroup was founded in 1997

[dreamy rose]

bleugh. i only get Sandisk cards

[lilac bear]

I did read the AUD beforehand

[vapid smelt]

my steamdeck is using a GAMING sd card along with my 512gb nvme

[dawn cape]

dongle

[gilded forge]

for how much?

[gilded forge]

sandisk is usually a bit mroe expensive i believe

[dawn cape]

thats gotta be just marketing

[lilac bear]

only Samsung is good with dongle
rest do not have internal dac

[vapid smelt]

i paid $60 for it in sept 2022 its now $35

i mean like apple usb c or sumn like a random cx 31993 dongle

[lilac bear]

yeah idk about iPhone

[lilac bear]

V10? is pain

10mbps rating

[dreamy rose]

Samsung charging 400 for a 512 is worse than Sandisk charging 300 for 1TB

[dawn cape]

is that what the v number is

[vapid smelt]

for the most dedicated GAMERS

[gilded forge]

84 usd for 512gb?

[lilac bear]

no thats what the 10 inside the C is (ignore this misinformation)

cant u get non gamer sd card with same speeds

[vapid smelt]

yes....

but you will clearly get less fps

[gilded forge]

you're gonna get less fps on a switch no matter what sd card you put in

[dreamy rose]

yeah, looks like it

[gilded forge]

strange

[dawn cape]

switch cant even generate enough frames to facilitate a gamer sd card tbh

[dreamy rose]

44 if you want "Extreme" brand 256GB card

[indigo plume]

can i get tablet reccomedations

android

[vapid smelt]

m1 ipad

oh android

[lilac bear]

anything Galaxy Tab at your budget ngl

Tab S9 Ultra if you have money like that

very nice tablet

[indigo plume]

too big

[vapid smelt]

ipad mini

[indigo plume]

want like a 10"

[vapid smelt]

dont we all

[lilac bear]

just like me fr fr

[vapid smelt]

#BringBackSmallGpus

[indigo plume]

true

[graceful burrow]

Theres an lp 4060

[lilac bear]

but yeah Galaxy Tab 8A then
granted the CPU is kinda ass

only Apple try to make small tablets powerful

[dreamy rose]

not enough tbh

[indigo plume]

I dont need a powerful on

just want one that isnt really slow and poor browsing experince

[graceful burrow]

It's nvidia your opinion on it is immediately invalid cause you fanboy too much lol

[dreamy rose]

we are talking about small formfactors not nvidia specifically.

[graceful burrow]

But you didn't refute my claim

There's also an a-series nvidia card that's lp

And bus power iirc

[dreamy rose]

well i'm not gonna say a lp 4060 doesn't exist because it does, however being the only current gen low profile card is disappointing.

[graceful burrow]

I'll give you that

[dreamy rose]

exactly what i've been saying this whole time, not dissing nvidia specifically.

hmm. with the way AMD didn't throw out a 7500 or a 7400 it makes me wonder if they were planning to throw APUs in that spot but decided not this time

[rotund wraith]

whats the best value gpu on the used market

[dreamy rose]

6600/6700XT

[rotund wraith]

that it? i got an rx 6600 rn

[dreamy rose]

pretty much yeah.

[lilac bear]

used market is very horrible

unless you want a smartphone

[dreamy rose]

if you are looking for some sort of upgrade and don't wanna spend so much grab a 7800XT

nvidia just wishes they could price everythoing over 1K but they know nobody would buy it

[vapid smelt]

the cheapest one you can find will have the best price to performance

[rotund wraith]

my budget is 600 so i have some head space

[vapid smelt]

600 freedom dollars?

[dreamy rose]

just for the GPU Alone?

[rotund wraith]

yeah

[rotund wraith]

yes

[dreamy rose]

get a 7800XT And use whats left over for extra storage or something

[vapid smelt]

nah get a used rx 6950xt it cost the same as the 7800xt

[rotund wraith]

thats good

[dusky jacinth]

Fair point.

[rotund wraith]

ig ill get that

[dreamy rose]

if they can. also the 7800XT is less power hungry and has better RT if they want that

[rotund wraith]

i have a 1000 watt psu

no clue if im gunna bottleneck with a 12600k tho 💀

[vapid smelt]

[dusky jacinth]

And if you care about it more than the RT, the encoders are better on it than the 6950XT, while also RDNA3 gpus getting most of the updates today.

[dreamy rose]

who knows at this point people can go nuts over RT and thats why people meatride Nvidia cards.

[rotund wraith]

rt is used in like 1 game ik

[dusky jacinth]

Lol.

[vapid smelt]

7800xt is just a hair away from the 6800xt in raytracing

[rotund wraith]

hitman 3 🔥

[dusky jacinth]

That's kinda how the perspective is with RT.

Various games have it, but like... Any of the ones people actually play it's down to one or two. Lmao.

[rotund wraith]

what site is that

[dusky jacinth]

Which is also me too.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.techspot.com/review/2734-amd-radeon-7800-xt/

[rotund wraith]

ty

[dusky jacinth]

I have literally only two games with hardware RT optimizations in them.

And barely play them anyway.

The ones I play just use everything else.

Or are too old to bother.

[dreamy rose]

RT is rarely something to actually care about but is one of the biggest Nvidia brainwashes to go around.

[rotund wraith]

would a 12600k bottleneck with a 6950xt? or nah

its not a bad cpu but its not GREAT

[dreamy rose]

wouldn't think so.

[vapid smelt]

rx 7800xt is just a cheaper and slighty faster rx 6800xt in both raster and raytracing

[dusky jacinth]

RT honestly makes more sense with coming up with standard dynamic lighting or baked lighting in a game at the developer or modder standpoint than with real-time in gaming itself.

Unless the game uses some form of it as an actual mechanic that matters, which... I can't think of any that do anyway.

[dreamy rose]

also couldn't hurt to throw money into upgrading to AM5.

[dusky jacinth]

Certainly won't.

[vapid smelt]

he can just go 13th/14th gen no point in am5

[rotund wraith]

i have a z690 ddr4 board

ddr4 isnt so future proof but oh well

[gilded forge]

oh it looks so goofy I hate it

[dreamy rose]

plenty point in going AM5.

[dusky jacinth]

Hell, you can use a 12600k to even drive a 7900XTX, even when the card's overclocked to performance beyond the 4090 at stock.

[dreamy rose]

i fucking hate it. as if sony needed any more reasons to leave the console space.

[dusky jacinth]

It's not going to be astounding, but it will be able to drive it easily.

[rotund wraith]

worst case scenario is I get a new cpu, maybe 15th gen bc 14th gen is trash

[gilded forge]

I just want a real handheld by Sony. the Portal is literally just shitting on people who were fans of the PSP and Vita.

[vapid smelt]

could get a i5 13600k and call it a day if you need/want a cpu upgrade

[dreamy rose]

or you move to AM5 and upgrade to zen 6 in the future.

[dusky jacinth]

14th gen isn't bad, it's just... More like a bin of 13th gen with some extra features added and some clock speeds adjusted, which are fine.
The pricing on the other hand is not.

[dreamy rose]

thats why they need to leave. they don't actually give a fuck about what we want.

[rotund wraith]

crazy how the 7800x3d is still #1 even after the 14th gen release

[dusky jacinth]

It's certainly no slouch.

[opal thunder]

3d cache is crazy good for gaming

[dreamy rose]

intel literally cannot compete with 3D Cache at all

[dusky jacinth]

Intel might even end up copying AMD later too per chance.

[vapid smelt]

its only fair AMD copied intel

[dreamy rose]

just port everything to PC and discontinue hardware.

[gilded forge]

and the fact that it doesn't have Bluetooth, and instead relies on Sony's little shitty PS5 earbuds that cost the same as the portal. like WHAT

[dusky jacinth]

Even multiple times too I believe. Lmao.

[dreamy rose]

and made the whole CPU landscape way better in the process breaking multiple barriers.

[dusky jacinth]

Well the whole CPU landscape was actually the work of multiple competitors whittling down to three for x86.

And each of them all tried bringing something different in some way or another.

[dreamy rose]

yeah but AMD did reach 1GHz, Dual Core and 64 Bit fist.

companies need better names than "micro devices inc"

[dusky jacinth]

Of course, though Cyrix was responsible for beating Intel with co-processors that were bother faster and cheaper by large margins and were the first to create the micro-code level RISC core x86 cpu designs we now have today.

[dreamy rose]

its certainly better than intelligence without the "ligence"

[dusky jacinth]

We also had Transmeta who made the first processors to be "software upgradeable" and were amongst the most efficient x86 cpus to exist back then, especially for laptop/mobile-oriented cpus.

[gilded forge]

it doesn't matter who the first one is, it matters who ends up on top at the end.

[dusky jacinth]

I think for now, neither one will be on top, but will just continue to compete till either one gives out or changes over to something else, like always.

[dreamy rose]

AMD could move to ARM sometime, i mean everyone is looking at it but intel.

[dusky jacinth]

I'm still waiting to see if Zhaoxin actually makes something closer to competitive with Intel and AMD soon, since I wanna see just how that all will pan out.

[gilded forge]

nvidia's already done it with tegra

[dreamy rose]

those are for Switch.

[gilded forge]

and the shield

[dusky jacinth]

Well, they didn't move over from anything else though, but yeah.

[dusky jacinth]

And phones and tablets from long ago.

[dreamy rose]

they aren't doing those aren't they?

[dusky jacinth]

Also the OUYA, as disappointing as that thing still is.

[ionic abyss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GARcKCaUfI53++++++++++6

[dusky jacinth]

They still are.

Oh yeah, and the Jetson dev boards still use Tegras too.

[dreamy rose]

the last model was a 2019 version. i don't think they are quite "still making em"

[dusky jacinth]

Eh, well even then, they still technically make the more current Tegras anyway.

The most recent is in fact the Grace Superchips, which... Aren't consumer bound, but yeah.

[dreamy rose]

either way with that new switch coming i'm gonna be screwed. probably gonna wait till they can run linux on it and use that for gaming.

[dreamy rose]

bruh Techrax poured molten metal on a bunch of Cockroaches? what in the fuck is wrong with this guy.

[rapid apex]

Seems pretty noble to me?

[dreamy rose]

what? literally going out and buying cockroaches just to pour molten metal on them?

[ionic abyss]

why is this so pricey https://www.amazon.com/MUMUJJ-Mechanical-Keyboard-Waterproof-Interface/dp/B096B45R89

[lilac bear]

I'll poor molten metal on humans

and I think it's morally correct

[rapid apex]

Can't be sympathetic to cockroaches

[ionic abyss]

stupic ctrl keys stopped working

[lilac bear]

Windows 12 will require Intel 12th gen or newer /j

Plus I love ANC

[harsh quartz]

Ain’t got no gas in it

[harsh quartz]

This is such a stupid argument, why the fuck does using a dongle make someone look dumb, why is that a stigma now?

Wired headphones are great

[ionic abyss]

why oh why

[fierce moth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I got no problem with wired headphones

[sudden bough]

what is a good wired headphone?

[lilac bear]

always was
Samsung marketed against dongles before joining it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzzxUVMGlik

[fierce moth]

But they kinda drifted away from phones

[sudden bough]

huh dongle 😐

but yeah i need a new headset

[lilac bear]

because Apple and Samsung want you buy the more expensive and limited life time wireless earbuds

[fierce moth]

That's why I like the wh-1000xm5's still having a headphone jack for non Bluetooth use

[sudden bough]

:L

[fierce moth]

Perfect for laptops and desktop

[harsh quartz]

Dongles are perfectly acceptable and the whole “air pods or broke” thing is bullshit

[ionic abyss]

no i need a new keyboard

[harsh quartz]

Air pods aren’t even that good

[lilac bear]

it exists though
most people don't, but some definitely do

[dreamy rose]

Apple Elitism has always been bullshit because in no way is an Apple device any better than a non apple alternative

[harsh quartz]

This isn’t just an apple thing this is a whole market thing cause Samsungs got it too

[lilac bear]

it's a Samsung thing too you hater

[harsh quartz]

3.5mm jack supremacy

[harsh quartz]

No but that’s not what this is about

[ionic abyss]

28 screws 4 to go

[lilac bear]

now you're trying to make it a different thing than what was talked about

[fierce moth]

My high school was pretty much exclusively apple devices only, if you had an Android phone it was samsung

[lilac bear]

and Samsung and Apple both cost the same

[ionic abyss]

++aw

[harsh quartz]

I mean, yes? That’s just everywhere

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwKJfNYwvm8 disappointed he didnt make 169

[fierce moth]

And I saw zero person with a dongle

[spice pine]

Listen. I don’t mind the look of dongles but I just don’t swing that way, you know?

[dreamy rose]

twitter ah comment

[sudden bough]

i saw that. idk why they didn't have wells to begin with

[graceful burrow]

Honestly fair 🤝

[vapid smelt]

ITS X

[harsh quartz]

That’s because high schoolers give a shit, imma let you know now, no one whom you should value their opinion will give 2 shits about a dongle

[fierce moth]

Anyways ima eat my lunch

who actually calls it X?

Macbook and Cheese

[harsh quartz]

No you use the MacBook to cook lunch since they overheat so much

[lilac bear]

it would be better if Mr Beast used that money to fund Israel

[fierce moth]

Blt plus cheese, jalapenos and chicken

[lilac bear]

idk about the M chips though

[harsh quartz]

Ngl, I’m really trying to find the funny here

[harsh quartz]

The laptops definitely still overheat, they have like no cooling in them

[dreamy rose]

it would be better if people stopped fighting for no reason and quit giving a fuck thats what.

[sudden bough]

apple laptops get so hot you can't touch them

[lilac bear]

but it is ARM

[harsh quartz]

if it even has a fan, dont the airs not have fans in them?

[dreamy rose]

or not because there are no fans

[pliant karma]

oh yea forgot the airs don't have fans

unless the newer one does though idk

[lilac bear]

how can you be so sure they heat up then

[harsh quartz]

....what?

because i can fuckin touch it?

and see it shut down when it overheats

[dreamy rose]

what a stupid question with an unneeded answer

[full fossil]

in the high end yes

[lilac bear]

thats what the argument is about

[sudden bough]

:L

[lilac bear]

inb4 android is for poor people

[sudden bough]

androids expensive

[harsh quartz]

Tbf the A series is pretty cheap but they only last like 1.5 years

[lilac bear]

A14 gets 2 upgrades and A34/A54 get 4 years

but unsure if I would say the A54 is cheap

[harsh quartz]

Even if they get support for that many years it doesn’t mean that A) it’s good support or B) that the phones themselves keep up with that support

[ionic abyss]

Pavlov is like CSGO but in VR

Blade and sorcery is a sandbox medieval wave based arena fighting game thing

@sweet osprey what kind of experience are you looking for

What kind of game

[gleaming harbor]

it rhymes with yar har

[sweet osprey]

Ive played beatsaber, its fun for a while but gets too repetitive

Kinda looking for shooter, racing or maybe even simple games i can play on keyboard and mouse
Currently im playing war thunder, really fun tbh

[jaunty compass]

If you want a shooter check out Boneworks and superhot

Half life alyx is great but it's like $60

[restive lion]

HL:A goes on sale occasionally. I picked it up for around $30

[gleaming harbor]

boneworks is like gmod but modern and has a story mode?

[jaunty compass]

And check out Pavlov if you want a multiplayer shooter

[jaunty compass]

That's bonelab

[jaunty compass]

Bonelab is the sequel

[restive lion]

Beatsaber is also highly moddable fwiw if you haven't gotten into that

[sweet osprey]

Yeah, bit tedious but i play one in a while

[sweet osprey]

Pavlov is way too buggy for me for some reason, never got to really enjoy it

[restive lion]

It's insanely easy, there's a mod manager app

[jaunty compass]

Rumble is the VR game I've been playing recently, it's a lot of fun but it's physically demanding

It's not a shooter but it's a blast

It's the game where you launch rocks at children

[restive lion]

Pistol whip is also a good workout

Bit lacking of content tho

[sweet osprey]

I just learnt like yesterday how to bypass hardware restrictions, cuz for some reason my 1650 aint enough but my damn 970 works perfect

Had to get virtual desktop so now im playing with the gtx1650 :) yipee

[jaunty compass]

Idk if I'd call pistol whip a workout compared to similar games

[sweet osprey]

How demanding

[restive lion]

Smells like krill issue

[jaunty compass]

I played rumble for an hour 2 days ago and 2 hours yesterday and I'm sore from it

It's probably the closest VR game to an actual sport

[vapid smelt]

sore from a video game

[jaunty compass]

Okay but look at this shit
https://youtu.be/EyAilF2wJB8?si=ZPSIUxGGd66ZW0Aj

[sweet osprey]

Oh btw do either NFS or Forza support vr?

[sweet osprey]

Oh so its like having earth bending

[jaunty compass]

Yeah it's a pvp earthbending fighting game

It's a blast but if you play for multiple hours you'll get quite sweaty and you'll definitely feel it the next day

The moves are surprisingly precise

You seriously have to actually do the form for the moves to work

And in the average 3 round match you'll be doing those moves quickly dozens if not hundreds of times depending on how long it goes for

It's $20 on steam so absolutely check it out if you're interested

if you do grab the game let me know, i'd be happy to hop into a match with you and help show you the basics since it's pretty hard

I have to go to school in 20 minutes

[thick oyster]

oof

what level of school?

[vapid cypress]

Vocational

[thick oyster]

oh thats cool

[full fossil]

I think mines the equivalent of high school, but Sweden got a weird system

[vapid smelt]

what that in NA terms

[thick oyster]

for what?

i mean vocational school is a phrase in America too

i've also heard it called a trade school

unless they don't imply each other

[vapid cypress]

IT related stuff

[full fossil]

I think trade school would be used more if they’re the same which it doesn’t seem like it is (but very well could be)

[thick oyster]

wikipedia lists them as though they are synonyms

anyways we're all on the same page

what sort of IT related stuff? what are you learning now?

[acoustic spire]

yeast and proper fermentation for optimum bread?

[thick oyster]

yea i know Germany does something like that too

[full fossil]

AFAIK proper fermentation

[vapid cypress]

It's 3 things: hardware, software and communications

@thick oyster

[thick oyster]

ye

[full fossil]

Bacisly same for the program I’m going

[thick oyster]

my background is in computers so you can dive into some details

[vapid cypress]

Nuthin much types of lan cables 5E 6 6E then you got your computer disassembly and assembly, types of connectors, what do the wires mean on the power supply, lan topology, switches, router configuration ect

There's a lot more but I would run out of time explaining more

[thick oyster]

yea i get the idea

[vapid cypress]

Also I'm like 2 months in so, lot more to learn

[thick oyster]

nice

[full fossil]

For me it’s less about wires and we also learn how to like communicate/work with people in diff ways

[vapid cypress]

This week we are going to do virtual machines with Linux pretty epic on the software side

[full fossil]

i won't dive into any more details tho

[wispy marsh]

[harsh quartz]

You’ve never heard of a technical/vocational school?

[slim creek]

[vapid smelt]

never heard people say vocational school here in the land of free

[harsh quartz]

Bruh I’ve attended a vocational school for the last ~2 years

Usually they are called technical schools by name but they’re vocational schools by trade

[merry gull]

aw man, i lost my game of microsoft jewel 2
anyways how is everyone

[vapid cypress]

🇺🇸🦅💥🔫🔫

[vapid smelt]

I've heard of trade school

[harsh quartz]

Same school different name

Ours used to be called the (city) vocational school but got renamed to TCAT (city) for an easier naming scheme

[vapid smelt]

[harsh quartz]

Brrrt

[vapid cypress]

Yeeehaw

[sudden bough]

What. Vocational schools are where you learn trades and stuff. Typical they are for high school students and on up. My school had an option for going part time to a vocational school

[vapid cypress]

Vocational schools do be like that

[sudden bough]

I mean there are different types. May be different now cause community colleges do a lot of that. Here the community college has high school students attend part time

[vapid cypress]

Here vocational schools are a mix of a highschool and a vocational school and when you choose something to pursue in there are less options to choose from than if you went after high school

And that happens after grade 10 you study at high school along with the subject you wanna take and after high school there is a year or two where you only study that subject

[pliant karma]

yep dual enrollment. I did it in my last year of HS so it did help a bit knocking out credits

3rd year atm but I am just chilling with the film cources so I'm taking my sweet time lol

[sudden bough]

I think k the program here is you can get a free 2 year degree with the community college. We didn’t have that at my HS just vocational training
