Oceans tend to make the temp swings more mild

[carmine stirrup]

yup 🙂

I happily live 2 miles from the ocean 😄

[sudden bough]

Until the current stops

Salty moist air.

[carmine stirrup]

The gulf stream? NYC isn't warmed by the gulf stream

[sudden bough]

No but the UK is

[carmine stirrup]

the UK would be like living in Labrador Canada

They'd actually get legit snowy winters

[sudden bough]

I’ve seems snow on the ground like 3 times in the last few years.

It’s getting warmer and dryer here

[carmine stirrup]

You're in Chicago?

[sudden bough]

Nope. Ohio

[carmine stirrup]

Closeish

[sudden bough]

May move there next year

[carmine stirrup]

It's been getting warmer and wetter in Boston

[sudden bough]

We get the sameish weather as Chicago

Cost of living there is like 1.5x higher :/

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah big cities are nuts

[sudden bough]

Heh it’s the same temp here and Chicago. According to Apple weather

Studio apartments in the loop are $3k+

[buoyant halo]

im paying 700 pounds for a nice 4 bedroom house

with a big lawn and a nice garage

lovely place

[carmine stirrup]

nice!

[sudden bough]

What

[orchid walrus]

I scored myself a steam deck oled

[sudden bough]

My 2 bedroom is $1600 :/ no yard no garage

[buoyant halo]

thanks mate

[orchid walrus]

20 minutes of server issues was not fun

[buoyant halo]

a bit expensive dont you think?

[carmine stirrup]

My house is $1800/month 2 car garage, pool, and yard 🙂

[sudden bough]

It’s cheaper compared to the 1 bedrooms at the same price or higher here

[buoyant halo]

oh

i guess good job

:/

[sudden bough]

It used to be $1200 2 years ago when I moved in

[carmine stirrup]

oof

[sudden bough]

Have a spreadsheet of apartments near me how much they cost roughly everything’s $17to $20k a year

I could get a $100k house paid in a few years for that

[buoyant halo]

Thats one reason why i will never move to america

[sudden bough]

Yeah don’t. It’s not the land of milk and honey people think

I mean, we have a lot of cows

I live up the street from a cow pasture

[buoyant halo]

my sense of humor is broken forgive me

[carmine stirrup]

lots of places in america aren't like that at all

[buoyant halo]

yeah

[sudden bough]

I mean. I can get a house about an hour away from $40k. BUT it’s in a run down area and the roof is collapsing

[buoyant halo]

but when you migrate you need to be closer to a city inorder to increase your chance of settlement

[carmine stirrup]

That's true

[summer nova]

Lmao here In Canada you can’t even find a 100k house

[carmine stirrup]

Or marry an american

[carmine stirrup]

Not one you'll want to buy 😄

[buoyant halo]

Wont ever leave my beautiful girl. Not for anything

[summer nova]

Ain’t that true

[carmine stirrup]

good call 🙂

[buoyant halo]

i suppose

[buoyant halo]

❤️

[sudden bough]

I need to find me a rich European to move in with

[buoyant halo]

Ah well lads i have to go now

[tulip thunder]

Ah ty

[tulip thunder]

Yeah ik but I'm not sure which parts to pick

[sudden bough]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xbmTrv

BAM!. was like first thread in build a pc

Also depends on what you wanna do?

Like FPS games? RTS? Cities Skylines?

[tulip thunder]

Mostly fps and in the future gta 6 etc when it comes out

So want a pc that can run those games asw

[sudden bough]

mine can

amd ryzen and 3080

[tulip thunder]

Can u send me ur pcpartpicker list in dms?

[sudden bough]

nah i don't have anything listed

[tulip thunder]

😭

[sudden bough]

there are lists in Build a PC!

[tulip thunder]

Yes let me look around

[sudden bough]

yes will take some reasearch. there are guides out there. ALSO look at prebuilts for black friday

[manic torrent]

THIS! .. is youtube. are you not entertained?

[sudden bough]

I always sound like a high pitched muppet when i speak in meetings 😐

[tulip thunder]

Yes thankyou for the advice :)

[sudden bough]

I bought a prebuilt 😄

[tulip thunder]

I most definitely will try to have a list of parts before black Friday so I can start ordering

[tulip thunder]

I wanna build my own pc for the experience :)

[soft swan]

This is the way

[sudden bough]

the more powerfull system the longer it should last

[soft swan]

Plus you’re getting a unique pc, not something generic

Custom

[tulip thunder]

Yeah that's why I'm planning on spending a decent amount so that it'll last

MY current pc I got for my 10th bday

It was decent back the

And I'm turning 16 in like 2 months xd

[sudden bough]

mine has a unique fur coating

[tulip thunder]

Yessir

[tulip thunder]

Wtf? Show

[sudden bough]

it's cat fur

[tulip thunder]

Crazy

I always got a little cat sleeping on my pc

[soft swan]

My first pc was haswell

[tulip thunder]

My current and first pc has a 2600 and a rx 570 xd

And a tomahawk 450

[manic torrent]

My first PC used the same CPU as a modern graphic calculator

[soft swan]

I got it when I was like 10 or 9

[tulip thunder]

Heh building your first pc is like building your first light saber

yes, I've often said that.

[sudden bough]

i need to figure out how to feng shui two tower computers next to my desk into a smaller space

[glass lantern]

Whelp thats it, I'm on the Strix Halo hype train.

16 cores 40 CUs apparently the same GPU performance as an RTX 4070 mobile, but within 120W for both the CPU and GPU.

[marble talon]

Hey guys I got a question, if i get a hhd enclosure to move my hdd from desktop to my laptop will i have to reformat or will it just work like a EHDD?

[sudden bough]

prolly have to reformat it

[wispy marsh]

If the os supports it then it'll just work

[sudden bough]

Wouldn’t there be a conflict ?

[wispy marsh]

The most common exceptions are using a filesystem the os doesn't have a driver for

[wispy marsh]

Explain

[sudden bough]

Like I remember doing that once and the hard drive wouldn’t work as a drive until I formatted it

[wispy marsh]

Wouldn't work?

[lilac bear]

Windows may hate that unless you used the same account on both drives
idk
the Windows privacy shit is weird

[sudden bough]

Idk if windows on one machine formatted the drive it might not register on another

[lilac bear]

lol what

if it's NTFS, Windows will read it

[marble talon]

From win10 desktop to win 11 laptop

[lilac bear]

Windows 11 is basically Windows 10 skin so it should

[sudden bough]

Try it ?

Idk been a while maybe I had a random problem

[wispy marsh]

I don't know what you meant by wouldn't work, but usually windows-to-windows it'd mount the drive immediately except if you used a gpt drive on a pre-gpt windows, a dynamic volume, or some non-bitlocker drive encryption

[marble talon]

Yah I ain't trying to remod my Skyrim all over again

[wispy marsh]

It'll just work

To be safe, login and remove bitlocker

[marble talon]

Ok cool I'll get the hdd enclosure from Amazon

[lilac bear]

idk why people freaking about the format

this isn't Windows to Android

[sudden bough]

Wait do you have an OS installed in it @marble talon ?

[wispy marsh]

Install ntfs drivers on android

[marble talon]

Thx I'm glad i can retire my i57600k desktop

[wispy marsh]

I've never used android so I assume it's similar to linux

[marble talon]

Lap 11 desk 10

[wispy marsh]

I'm using my i7-2600 as a home server

[marble talon]

My desk also has a 1070

[sudden bough]

I mean the hard drive you are trying to transfer. Does it have an operating system installed

[lilac bear]

NTFS3G apparently works but thats just google result

[wispy marsh]

It's old enough to use discord next year

[marble talon]

No i use it as a mod drive , os on m.2

[wispy marsh]

I've a working GT720

[wispy marsh]

That's even better

[sudden bough]

Ok as long as the file structure isn’t weird

[wispy marsh]

Why'd it be weird

Ntfs is excellent

[marble talon]

The hdd im moving is just storage for games

[sudden bough]

Idk there is always something

[wispy marsh]

Ghost in the machine

[sudden bough]

Stand alone complex

[marble talon]

Once i move everything over I'll wipe the m.2

[sudden bough]

Yeah idk I had a weird issue once upon a time doing that

[wispy marsh]

Don't zero the m2 unless you need to

[sudden bough]

For some reason windows couldn’t read the hard drive from an another system. Ended up having to reformat to get it to work.

[wispy marsh]

Oh, it did recognise it

Just not the filesystem

Couldn't mount it?

[sudden bough]

I think that was the problem it wouldn’t mount for some reason

Now that I think about it more.

[wispy marsh]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sudden bough]

I have crappy luck

[bright pecan]

Hello guys is RTX 3090 Inno3d for 500$ used a good deal ?

[polar fern]

depends on how used

is it clean?

fully working?

[bright pecan]

it has the box and everything yea fully working

couldnt find any solid review for the specifc brand tho

[polar fern]

hmm

its a good price, but

almot too good

gotta wonder what might be wrong with it to have it be a fraction of msrp

[bright pecan]

its not really too good in here

[polar fern]

?

[bright pecan]

i also found msi x trio 3090 for 580$

i live in iraq its different prices then ebay

[polar fern]

hummmm

prolly ok then .. market there vastly different

[bright pecan]

i also found a full pc with rtx 4090 and i9 11900k for 2100$

but the value of the 3090 seems better idk

[polar fern]

it has... a 4090?

[bright pecan]

yes thermaltake p6 case 32gb ram 1000w psu

[polar fern]

if you got a 13th gen intel cpu culd be killer

sell the 11th gen

[bright pecan]

prob is i seen leaks that indicate 4090 super is around the corner

so the price of 4090 will go down

it just doesnt seem like a good time to buy a 4090

[polar fern]

4090 ti isnt really a 4090 devaluation thing its kind of a "i got money" tier

that sounds like an awesome pc not gonna lie

[bright pecan]

idk been thinking for 3 days and havent got a clear answer

[polar fern]

which case is it?

[bright pecan]

if i buy the 3090 i would have to buy new cpu and mb aswell

[polar fern]

p6?

[bright pecan]

yes the white one

case alone is 200$

[polar fern]

yeah i'd get that one - not only is it a good build but you can totally upgrade it in the future no problem

[bright pecan]

if i were to buy new mb cpu and ram for my 3090

it would go up to be 1000$ ish

+500$ for the gpu

[polar fern]

what speed & latency is the ram?

[bright pecan]

i dont really no its ddr4 3600 i think

its 11th gen so no ddr5

[polar fern]

wondering if its cl16 or cl18/20/22 etc

[full fossil]

hii

[polar fern]

ohayyyyy @full fossil

[full fossil]

wassup

[bright pecan]

i didnt really care since i have to sell them for newer cpu and ddr5 ram

[polar fern]

hmmm

[full fossil]

4090 + 11900k sounds quite good

[polar fern]

not a lot, just trying to renovate my brain from multiple weeks of wrecked sleep

[full fossil]

oof, I got endsem exams next week and had a week break but barely studied 🤣

Tf is a pointeer?

Is my vocabulary that small?

[wispy marsh]

An Uncle Linus Pionteer

[sudden bough]

ROFL

[opal thunder]

I’m definitely being trolled.

You didn’t even explain anything with that.

All I understand from that is that pointeer is probably a misspelling of pioneer or related to the uncle Linus water bottle

[wispy marsh]

No, the Uncle Linus Potato Farm Pionteer program

Where you get an additional 10% of the LTTokens of the Pionteers that you invite to work on the farm

Is it ugly on purpose?

[opal thunder]

No, but it was less ugly than what I had before and wasn’t $700

My last desk was literally impossible to cable manage

Only pictures I have of it unfortunately but it gets the picture across

There was this weird side bit in picture 1 that had 3 layers with and a detached main desk portion to the left of it that was connected at the base so I couldn’t separate them

It was 100x more ugly

It was also had this really shitty wrap over the particle board

[full fossil]

I need more boolets

[full fossil]

Show us your desk

[carmine stirrup]

Ooooo black xbox 360!

[shut lichen]

are you implying they made them in other colours?
I've only ever seen black

[gleaming harbor]

i hope it does not have the red ring

[carmine stirrup]

oof yeah

I lost a couple OG 360s to that

[carmine stirrup]

I've only ever seen white

[polar fern]

Something like 10 years ago, my girlfriend at the time bought the Xbox from my brother-in-law, and I had the task of carting it all the way up from my place just outside Philadelphia to her place in Bayonne New Jersey without a car or taxi

Everything went fine, except for people on the path train getting angry at me for taking up a seat with the box

It was either take up a seat or take up a foot and a half of room on the floor with a giant box

[gleaming harbor]

i wonder how did you get it down the stairs or even an esculator

[polar fern]

Path train for context

I didn’t need to use an elevator it was fine, just extremely bulky

I had to take five trains

My local station down into Philly and then the connection out to Trenton in New Jersey, and then from Trenton to Newark Penn station, and then Newark Penn station to exchange place station, and then the light rail from exchange place station south to where her stop was

Light rail for context

I think the biggest issue was actually walking from the light rail station to her apartment because at that point, I had been holding onto it for over two hours, and my hand was incredibly sore from the box bumping into things and tugging at my arm

I had it in two large retail plastic bags

One was grey and one was white so no one could see what it was

I saw some YouTube short with some guy balancing a TV on his head on a bike of some sort

He was good at balancing it on his head, but it looked like the TV had already been severely damaged so I’m not sure what the story was

anybody want 3 months free nitro? (must have never had nitro before, its my 3 months free from gamepass and it wont work if you have previously had nitro)

i thought so too, ms and discord dont bother to say anywhere that you can never have had nitro before :S

[harsh quartz]

[opal thunder]

Yeah I thought so too but they were out of the oak table top and black legs 😭

[harsh quartz]

Oh that would’ve looked so much nicer :p

[opal thunder]

I was hella mad not even gonna lie

But I needed that shit asap

[harsh quartz]

I need to go to ikea, we have one roughly an hour away and I’ve never been

I want meatballs and blahaj

[opal thunder]

Blahaj is like 50$

[harsh quartz]

Blahaj is worth my soul

I want the big one

[opal thunder]

Ye $50 CAD

After tax

[harsh quartz]

Pffft, so what your saying is it’ll be even cheap with my real money

Only 29$ real money

[digital prairie]

The real trick is buying a blahaj for your girlfriend because you mistakenly think that she's in a place where ikea does not reach, then shipping it across the pacific ocean to her (total cost $160cad), when you later find out you could have just shipped it straight from ikea to her for list price.

[harsh quartz]

Kek

[digital prairie]

The real trick is buying a mini blahaj for your girlfriend to match her larger stuffed shark, then falling in love with it and keeping it for yourself.

Hey I'm looking to sell off my PC soon to upgrade. How much do you guys think someone would pay for a PC with an i7 7700k and a 3080?

[fossil frost]

without the gpu, about £150, at the most.. the gpu brings that up a bit, probably better off selling the gpu as its own thing, and then the rest of the pc as its own thing. you will get more, that gpu being in that system will only drag down the value of the gpu to somebody looking to buy one

[full fossil]

I get what you mean. Makes sense.

[bitter girder]

Why are you in LTT server huh

[bitter girder]

I did and it fucking sucks ass ngl

It's too.. bulky, and also doesn't have my favorite feature in chrome

Tab groups

[sudden bough]

i need black friday deals :d

[polar fern]

Don’t be racist

[icy osprey]

Because I like tech

What about you?

[molten drift]

I have one thing I'm looking for on Black Friday and I think eBay will probably have it cheaper lol.

[harsh quartz]

Just buy two and keep both 🙂

[harsh quartz]

It’s blahaj

Also those are fake dollars anyway

[molten drift]

USD are fake dollars?

[harsh quartz]

That’s not USD

[bitter girder]

I like tech too,

Either way I tried both and they kinda suck in each way ngl

[molten drift]

But it's got the dollar sign?

Do like Australian dollars and cad not have their own special symbol?

[molten drift]

Well learn something new every day thanks.

[harsh quartz]

When talking in the international stage, yes, but if it’s an Australian website in Australia, why complicated it and make it longer?

also Blahaj in real dollars is only 29

[summer nova]

AUD

[molten drift]

Personally I want a blahaj in rin Penrose colors.

[harsh quartz]

I mean yeah there are probably more but this is just what google pops up immediatly

[harsh quartz]

Ya know, you could just say the colors

[carmine stirrup]

oof... that's a trek

dang... discord didnt' scroll. that was for the xbox train journey

End of quarter was yesterday and my teacher said if I don’t turn in these two assignments I’m getting a 0 on them so I turned it in last minute (Wednesday afternoon) so she wouldn’t have time to grade it so now that quarter ended and it’s not in my grade book

opinions on this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vcL389

[vapid cypress]

Why

[plain garden]

I dont know just because why not?

[weary jackal]

that's cool, go for it as long as it isn't stupidly expensive

[plain garden]

what are you gonna use it for?

[tulip thunder]

gaming

[plain garden]

I havent even found like any place where they do engravings i still have to look

[plain garden]

Do you really need 64gb of ram?

[tulip thunder]

oh fuck mb I thought I put 32gb 💀

[plain garden]

💀

[tulip thunder]

[vapid cypress]

Why on knives that's just goofy

What do dogs and knives have in common

[night heron]

i put together a substantially faster PC at the same price for you: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZNR7Cd

both the cpu and gpu are twice as fast

[tulip thunder]

okok thankyou :)

[sudden bough]

So my mother found a $30 floor robot mop on amazon. Doesn't have an app, no internet connection. Works perfectly

[vapid cypress]

Literally me

[sudden bough]

you're a $30 walmart mop?

[vapid cypress]

Yes

[sudden bough]

😄

[vapid cypress]

No

[polar fern]

👀

[vapid cypress]

That's a lot of numbers

[modest steppe]

Someone maybe know where can i watch Euroleague game on net? Please hlep

help

[sudden bough]

twitch?

[modest steppe]

mate its basketball

[polar fern]

And?

@vapid cypress good numbers

[wheat karma]

Is a 42 inch enough for content consumption at 3feet? Or should I get 55 inch?

[polar fern]

Um

That’s kinda close

[night heron]

55 at 3 feet is gonna make you go crosseyed

[wheat karma]

For media consumption too?

Like movies?

[night heron]

yeah its just gonna be a worse experience

[molten drift]

Hmm I wonder if I ask really nicely the pizza place will put a topping hey put on subs on a pizza for me..

[night heron]

it's an overwhelming size and you lose pixel density

[molten drift]

It's not listed as a pizza topping.

[night heron]

banding and macroblocking in content will also be more apparent

[wheat karma]

Yeah! Didn’t think about that! It’s just that my soundbar is made for a 55 TV, and it’s longer than a 42 inch

Is it okay for a soundbar to be longer than the TV?

[night heron]

sure why not

people often have speakers several feet away from either side of the tv

[polar fern]

Sound bar? Unless you’re staring at the sound bar that shouldn’t be how you’re measuring the size of the screen

You’re talking about sizes that are basically a television and those are supposed to be viewed from at least 6 feet away

[wheat karma]

Yeah, it is a television! The LG C2 to be precise

[polar fern]

if you’re watching a TV that size from 3 feet away, something has gone terribly wrong

[night heron]

eh

cant get a tv smaller than 42" that isnt a piece of crap

[polar fern]

Typically, the smaller screens are going to be more expensive because people do more than just watch tv shows

It wouldn’t be a television at that point it would be a computer monitor that you’re just using to watch TV

[night heron]

which will look like crap

[polar fern]

?

[night heron]

most computer monitors are terrible for media consumption in comparison to a tv

especially if youre not using full bluray quality media

poor upscaling and there's zero gradient smoothing or macroblocking suppression because they prioritize input latency

almost all of them have matte coatings which destroy image quality

and almost all of them have bleedy backlights

[polar fern]

???

[night heron]

you could wait for the 32" 4k 240hz qd-oled but thatll be almost double the price of the lg c2 42 and will still have this issue

[polar fern]

Oor

Get a computer monitor

HDMI done.

https://twitter.com/SteamDeckGaming/status/1725588473292214547?t=fBYfXP8z06zlV3lN18Nj1Q&s=19 half life is free

[graceful burrow]

https://store.steampowered.com/sale/franchise_half-life

not only that
it got a HUGE update adding missing content and modern features

also documentary on it too

[vapid cypress]

I already have it because I bought the valve collection

How about they start updatin tf2

[vapid smelt]

Ngl I was going to get half life after I finished portal 2 and now it's free I'm so happy

[spice pine]

Such a good game, glad to see its updated :3

holy shit they even acknowledged how bad HL:S is

[graceful burrow]

valve is ever-based

[junior bolt]

yes

[sudden bough]

Half Life was so awesome at the time

[graceful burrow]

still awesome

[sudden bough]

still is but...

[graceful burrow]

better than a lot of games that come out today lmao

[sudden bough]

tru

Half Life 3 when?!

😦

[molten drift]

Why does a half life 3 need to happen did they leave the sorry on a cliff hanger with 2.

And aren't their more than 3 games in the series. Alone with halflife 1, 2 Alex and wasn't 2 like 3 sub games.

[sudden bough]

cause 😐

[spice pine]

HL2E2 ended with a pretty big cliffhanger, and Alyx is more of a prequel than a sequel.

[sudden bough]

@d@ think they will black friday the index?

[graceful burrow]

biggest cliffhanger in gaming history

[spice pine]

Gonna have to disagree here

[graceful burrow]

what game had a bigger one

that was left unresolved

hl3 when was a MASSIVE meme back in the day

it was in EVERYTHING

[sudden bough]

it still is everything 😐

[spice pine]

MegaMan X8 ended with one of the main characters left unresponsive after a villain appeared to destroy their main chip thing, unresolved for nearly 20 years now

[graceful burrow]

huge but not as big

[spice pine]

Half-Life got Epistle 3 at least. MegaMan X fans have been begging

[graceful burrow]

no meme spawned
it didnt infect anything

[graceful burrow]

real half life fans dont count that

[molten drift]

Well according to Wikipedia half life 2 ep3 is cancelled as someone left the company

[graceful burrow]

doesnt mean they cant make it

they've shown with alyx they still got some chops

im very confident that valve as it is today could make half life 3 and meet expectations
gargantuan expectations

[sudden bough]

imma get an index and alyx if they black friday the index

[graceful burrow]

have you played hl2 yet

[pure olive]

Hi aldo

[graceful burrow]

ep2 specifically

hi biggie :3

[pure olive]

Hru :3

[graceful burrow]

im here

wbu

[sudden bough]

Ive played all half life

[prime solstice]

Valve can’t count to 3 though

[sudden bough]

blue shift all that

[graceful burrow]

steamos 3

[prime solstice]

Except that

[pure olive]

I’m on here

[graceful burrow]

that's not how that works

that meme is dead

[pure olive]

Half life 3 would make them billions lol

[prime solstice]

Gotta go out and beg valve to do it

And make half life 2 episode 3

[graceful burrow]

they'll do it eventually
i think it's just mindgames
i know they can make it but how do you live up to that legacy
alyx was easier because it was a prequel and vr, sufficiently disconnected

(play alyx tho its so good)

[prime solstice]

I don’t have a vr headset

[graceful burrow]

time to buy one

quest 2's go cheap on ebay

[prime solstice]

I don’t really want a vr might get one when I move out though

[old yacht]

IDK its kind of a meme, like the game is so overhyped it is doomed to fail

[graceful burrow]

i disagree

[pure olive]

lol I think they could meet expectations

[graceful burrow]

if it were literally any other studio i'd agree

[pure olive]

But having people talking about half life 3 instead of playing it is just generating more hype and more hype

[sudden bough]

Tru

[sudden bough]

:d

[marsh carbon]

But making more cs2 skins makes them even more money

[sudden bough]

:L

what

i can't connect to youtube

nm was a weird bug

[tulip thunder]

What yal think about this build? (I got a ssd still)
https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/rTGp34

[old yacht]

Looks great IMO, One thing I would recommend if you want to upgrade something, Go all out with a PSU. No downsides ever, if you get a 1300W now from a great brand, it will last you till you basically forever. I personally worry with how much computers have grown in terms of power consumption, might as well go all out

[sudden bough]

Gonna have to invest in solar panels to offset the carbon footprint of a gaming computer

[short scarab]

850w rmx is already overkill for that, you could run current top tier hardware off that, theres not much of a point in wasting money for an unlikely future scenario

[sudden bough]

Future computer upgrades what if there’s a next GEN valve index or something it requires a lot of power.

[short scarab]

the index doesnt run off your pc power supply does it?

[sudden bough]

I don’t know, but maybe there’s something like it that would

We didn’t expect another steam deck and we got one, so who knows what people are making

[short scarab]

seems like a unlikely and like an overall bad idea

if something needs so much power, any manufacturer with half a brain will give you something to power it with

[sudden bough]

But a higher power power supply can carry you into the future and work in multiple computer builds

[short scarab]

so would an 850w rmx...

unless you decide to go HEDT all of a sudden

[sudden bough]

Yes that

I mean, if the prices isn’t that much different, I would go for the bigger number

[short scarab]

with a build like that you could just get a better pc though, instead of doomsday prepping for HEDT that youll likely never buy

getting a high quality powersupply that you can carry forward makes sense, but it should still be something within reason (ie the one in that list)

[sudden bough]

:d

[short scarab]

in the end, up to them

[sudden bough]

Si. Guess it depends on monies

But Black Friday… TBC…

[indigo plume]

dont think vr will be anything more than a gimmick

I still havent played half life

[sudden bough]

What

[indigo plume]

and prob wont tbh it dont intrest me

[sudden bough]

vr is in the arcade days atm

[indigo plume]

markets not big enouhg for vr for bigger companies to invest into it

[sudden bough]

Welp when the headsets start going cheaper and a few popular games come out I think it will take off like old console days

VR headset will be the next console

[indigo plume]

and still to this day vr headsets are all uncomfortable/ heavy

[indigo plume]

big doubt

and if it does it will take atleast like another 15 years

[sudden bough]

idk i don't think that long. also BIM is becoming more popular now. 3D scanning tech is ramping up. I am working on a project where they are using Microsoft Holo Lense to see the building in 3D as its being built

I do bim modeling so

[shut lichen]

sounds like a you issue

[sudden bough]

i'm very vr curious

[tulip thunder]

Alr bro thankyou for the advice :), u got any recommendations for a good PSU like u said that's not too expensive and will last a good while?

[sudden bough]

i worry about motion sickness though.. and my pets

Imagine paying 90% of your income as taxes

[shut lichen]

you are a joke of a human being if you think that.

90 fucking percent

[wheat karma]

Anything is possible in Canada eh?

[eager notch]

You want to know who had 90+% tax rates at one point

The fucking USA

https://taxfoundation.org/blog/top-federal-income-tax-rate-was-once-over-90-percent/

[eager notch]

We did that in the USA at one point

[shut lichen]

all is fine when it's 90% of a high tax bracket

as we always say, tax the rich

[shut lichen]

aka not all if the damn income

[eager notch]

Nope,

Jeff bezos looking mighty tasty

[shut lichen]

"The rate had reached 94 percent during World War II, on income over $200,000 (approx. $2.49 million in today's dollars)."
bring this back

[shut lichen]

yes, we also always say eat the rich

[shut lichen]

if you make over 2.5 million in a year, you really don't need more

ok how bad could a chinese keyboard be that uses outemu blue switches claims to have double shot kkeycaps and some how costs 77cents with free 2 day shipping be

[shut lichen]

77 cents? a scam.

[ionic abyss]

i stumbled on it on amazon

[shut lichen]

definitely a scam

[ionic abyss]

no clue how they can sell it for so low

[shut lichen]

because they're likely not selling you anything

[gusty copper]

i haven't turned my pc on in 4 months do I need to do anything lol

it's so dusty

[shut lichen]

take a bunch of 77c orders, and disappear off the face of the planet, forcing amazon to swallow the refund cost

[gusty copper]

and ig its already obsolete

[manic torrent]

You can clean it, or you can just... Turn it on

[gusty copper]

probably should clean it lol thanks

[sudden bough]

tell it your are sorry

[manic torrent]

Hahahahaha jokes on Amazon now I have hundreds of dollars!!!!???!!!1111

[shut lichen]

do it enough, you make thousands

[manic torrent]

Phwoar.

[shut lichen]

consider this being ran by people in a country where 1000USD could make a big difference to everyone involved

[manic torrent]

Pretty soon you might have enough barely survive

[ionic abyss]

im starting to wonder why companies make non hotswappable switch keyboards

[shut lichen]

because the extra stuff for hotswappable switches costs money

[ionic abyss]

wouldnt it make sense to make all your keyboards hotswappable and not openly advertise it

[shut lichen]

and also, older designs that haven't been updated

[ionic abyss]

just use a cheaper swith on the lower end models

switch*

[manic torrent]

No

[ionic abyss]

id imagine sending out a switch for warranty purposes would be cheaper than replacing a keyboard

the base socket board realy shouldnt develope near as many issues as the switches would

likely the switch would fail before the board

id also ditch a detachable cord on lower end units

if im making 10 models of keyboard and only need 2-3 hotswap boards to make all my models why spend the money to devlope a harder to repair board for a cheaper model

simplifying the production process across the board makes more sense

[gusty copper]

oml the updates

[ionic abyss]

charge for features like detachable cords and usb pass through and housing materials and mounting methods

once a circut board is designed they are cheap to produce

[dreamy rose]

windows loves those

[stoic scarab]

Wasn't WAN show supposed to start 2hrs ago?

[sudden bough]

Kek

[shut lichen]

are you new here?

[stoic scarab]

I am not

[shut lichen]

wan show is never on time

it is often 1-173 hours late

[stoic scarab]

I usually never get a hold of a live wan show because it starts at 2am most of the time

In my timezone

The last time I watched a WAN show live (that I can remember) was when Linus almost got himself cancelled

[sudden bough]

I’ve watched it on YT plenty of times

[stoic scarab]

Watching the WAN show from Central Europe is an impossibility for most of the time

[bright plume]

Damn, it can be more then a week late?!

[stoic scarab]

Though if I had money to pay for the enourmous shipping fees of LTT store I'd have bought a merch message asking "Where's PC Secret Shopper episode 3??!"

[shut lichen]

exactly a week late (plus the usual lateness)

more of a joke to not break the streak

back in august

[stoic scarab]

LTT said the WAN before the first episode dropped that they already finished the support calls so like the footage has been sitting around for almost 2 months now

Meaning either something went seriously went wrong in post production or they're holding it off for some reason

[sudden bough]

They started going slower with their videos

[stoic scarab]

This makes sense if you count days but not videos. In all the previous secret shoppers there has never been a gap this big

Meaning there has never been so many videos in between one episode and the next

[sudden bough]

Hm

[stoic scarab]

So the question of "daily uploads" vs "3 uploads a week" is taken out of the equation

[indigo plume]

looking for good high end headphones for gaming without a mic since I have a seperate mic

[stoic scarab]

The last time I checked there were 12-14 videos between Season 2 episode 3 and Finale

Rn it's 16 videos since Season 3 episode 2 and that's considering that it is the reupload

The original upload had like another 2 videos come after it

So like 18 videos

I can imagine then holding it off in favor of the latest AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade epside since up until recently that format took a LOOOOOOONG break

[sudden bough]

#audio-tech I just asked similar question and someone delivered

[dreamy spoke]

is it possible to get like 4-6 Noctua NF-A4x20 PWMs without paying for all the accessories?

[bronze hatch]

how much is msrp for sony wxm4

cus walmarts selling em for $250 and it usually says $350 but idk if that’s a good deal

[shut lichen]

ditching the accessories wouldn't save you much anyway

largely mass produced and included in all fan packs, would be cents on the total price

[dreamy spoke]

darn, well i have a literal bucket cpu cooler box stuffed to the brim with official noctua cables and the other accessories.

Man this game aged really well

[polar fern]

Gotta love the unrealistically tall timber framed buildings

[jaunty compass]

For a DS game from 2005 it looks really good

[jaunty compass]

Well this is a cult leaders Castle complex and surrounding village in a snowy mountainside in a world where magic absolutely does exist

[polar fern]

Neat

[jaunty compass]

It's a stylistic thing and it's a cool aesthetic to have wooden skyscrapers with Bridges between the buildings

[polar fern]

Aside from game boy advance I never had any interest in the platform.

[jaunty compass]

The DS had some impressive games

[polar fern]

Original game boy was good tho

[limber fractal]

Why does sunbird use offsite macs for imessage

[manic torrent]

...

[limber fractal]

How are they able to process so many phone numbers?

[restive lion]

spin up a vm on the mac

[limber fractal]

Each number is it's own vm?

[manic torrent]

Computers are really good at processing numbers. It's kinda their whole deal

[restive lion]

macos can become fairly light if you dont let it start a lot of its daemons

[limber fractal]

Why not just figure out how macos sends the messages and do it yourself

Probably not legal but I'm curious why it's never been done

[restive lion]

because then apple comes after you

[ember turtle]

Do most gpus fit on th

Them

[restive lion]

apple is one of those companies you dont want to piss off, right after the house of mouse

[manic torrent]

It's literally the same. If you're talking about an matx case, then yeah you might need to check.

[mental kayak]

nothing a angle grinder wont fix

[limber fractal]

I'm surprised apple cant shutdown sunbird though

[manic torrent]

I would say they probably have, and are basically shimming iMessage extremely close to the bone.

[restive lion]

imessage uses a couple daemons so itd be quite hard to do tbh

[manic torrent]

Mehhhh

[restive lion]

not to say it aint possible but macs arent really nice to you when you fuck with the appleid stuff

[manic torrent]

Depends how they get used.

I am certain you could strip it right back

Or.... Not, and pretend you did with a few sample machines and just translate them on the backend

[limber fractal]

Also crazy apple announced rcs

Why now

[restive lion]

yeah the entire thing is kind of useless aint it

cause theyre trying to make sure the EU doesnt force them to open imessage up

[limber fractal]

Didnt EU require 3rd party messaging apps or no

[restive lion]

messages app != imessage

[limber fractal]

Imessage is both and app and the type of message

Rcs would be in the imessage app but I thought the eu was going to require apple to allow users to use different apps

[restive lion]

the app is not imessage

[limber fractal]

Oh I forgot it's called messages

[restive lion]

source:

[limber fractal]

I dont have any apple products

[mental kayak]

false - you cannot live without 🍎

[limber fractal]

Also why doesn't apple only apply these EU requirements in the eu like with windows

[restive lion]

thats what theyre doing with sideloading

[limber fractal]

When is that coming

[restive lion]

[limber fractal]

Have they said anything about it? I honestly dont know it's a thing other than the EU telling them it has to be done

[restive lion]

its become pretty evident from certain features theyve added in the background

Ik fine I bought a stolen IMEI broken iphone 6 so I could register airtags

[mental kayak]

see

[restive lion]

isnt there an android app for airtags

[limber fractal]

No

Just a detector

[restive lion]

oh

[limber fractal]

I also did get a macbook since it was extremely cheap on Ebay. It's a good computer but then I tell myself well yeah for $2000 brand new it better be better than my $500 laptop

Finder is just the worst thing to ever exist

So is macos and ios

[restive lion]

skill issue

[pliant karma]

👀

[limber fractal]

You literally probably paid $100 so you could use xcode right now

[restive lion]

actually i did not

[limber fractal]

I can literally edit apps from google play for FREE

[restive lion]

xcode is free

[limber fractal]

Not if you want basic app features on a physical device

[restive lion]

still incorrect

[limber fractal]

I tried to compile an app from github but because it has notifications it wouldnt let me

Only worked on an emulator

[restive lion]

remote push notifications cost money because they cost apple money to run, local push notifications are free

[limber fractal]

What is a remote push notification

And I don't think that is what it was

[restive lion]

i do love how people try to shit on apple for the $100 bucks without even knowing the first thing about the service

[limber fractal]

Basically the free cert limited some basic features for what is allowed on the app

Instead of disabling the features it just blocks the app

[restive lion]

this is certainly a skill issue

because i was testing an app with push notifications on my phone today

[limber fractal]

Also you can't paste a directory into a directory bar and go there like on windows

Like macos shows the directory on the bottom but I cant change it to whatever

[restive lion]

also incorrect

[limber fractal]

I'm loading up my macbook brb

[restive lion]

if you're gonna criticize something, at least do the research on what you're talking about

theres so many things that are stupid but you're picking all the things that dont exist

[limber fractal]

How do you edit it because whatever the method is it isn't very obvious

[restive lion]

theres a button for it

[limber fractal]

Literally still dont see it

Oh its that top bar

Bro I forget it's there

[restive lion]

its not built into the interface because A) its ugly B) 99% of people dont use this and the 1% who do will just use the hotkey

[limber fractal]

I hate how every program has that top bar

I never see it and everything I'm looking for is in it and I never find it

[restive lion]

top bar is goodware, it moves it away from the app implementing it when it needs it

also makes it indexable to the help menu and accessibility

[limber fractal]

Yeah but if my app isnt in full screen then it's not "attached" like it would be on windows so I dont think to look at the top of my screen for something for a window that's small and not at the top

[restive lion]

thats just an "im not used to it" though

[limber fractal]

Still tho try and cut a file without using your mouse

[restive lion]

cmd+c followed by cmd+delete

[limber fractal]

The file is saved in memory? Wouldnt it not let you paste a deleted file

[restive lion]

just tried it

[pliant karma]

cmd del I started using more recently. Also hitting enter to rename files lol

more I know

[restive lion]

yeah finder has a fuckton of shortcuts built in

hit space to preview a file etc

[limber fractal]

I actually have wanted to know how to delete files with my keyboard

A shortcut tip would be nice next to move to trash

[restive lion]

you can also change the layout using cmd + 1-4

[pliant karma]

yep that and I have other apps like Alfred, Cheatsheet (hold down cmd for a bit and it'll show shortcuts list), and a lot of other apps

[restive lion]

alfred is good

[limber fractal]

Finder also has 0 customization when it comes to viewing. I have like 4 different layouts and that's it which I hate every single one

[restive lion]

idk windows isnt much better at that

also alternate finder apps do exist

[restive lion]

do you use little snitch

HIGHLY recommend that

good shit

[pliant karma]

I'll look into it. I do have Rectangles, Dropzone, and Tinkertools installed too

[restive lion]

Arc browser is also good, even if it uses chromium :(

[limber fractal]

I also have to grab files from my desktop so I'll open the network tab and get the files over the network. Except macos takes forever to show the devices on the network. Its not that they aren't there. If I have my desktop folder already open I can find it that way but it just takes macos forever to show it in the network tab

[restive lion]

idk devices all load instantly for me when i use that tab

usually its only to screen share though

[limber fractal]

And it also leaves .ds_store files everywhere on my windows computer

[restive lion]

apples native screen sharing is killer in stage production btw

problem with ableton? remote into that bastard from your laptop in the control room

[pliant karma]

funny thing is I am gonna be involved in 2 of them next semester so that'll be fun

and live broadcasting graduation that is the final big big production for my remote brodcast class.

[restive lion]

camcorder and obs running on someones gaming laptop you say?

[pliant karma]

so that'll be fun staying on campus till midnight basically a 16 hour day at best if you look at it from that point of view

[pliant karma]

tricaster well prob a newer one and not the old one haha

[restive lion]

OOOF

[rich topaz]

may you all be blessed with putting your usbs in right side up everytime

@HappÜ
i would switch to linux but i need to use ms office. tried using wine before but didnt work.

[restive lion]

does it at least run windows 10

[pliant karma]

but 4 PTZs and 3 ursas

[pliant karma]

nope 7. Haswell too and a 1060 3gb. Shoot me

[restive lion]

the only trictaster ive ever personally had the displeasure of touching (and still do because its our venues) is windows 7

we're shoving a videohub into their wall soon though so we wont have to touch it anymore

[pliant karma]

the new one is a lot better have to see the specs but I saw last time it was a quadro and 9th gen i9

[restive lion]

unfortunately it still runs on windows

[pliant karma]

ye

[restive lion]

and costs ~50k more than the production price

[pliant karma]

it had 3 partitions for whatever reason too

[restive lion]

honestly any time we have to load files onto it is just the biggest nusiance ever

ill take ross any day

[pliant karma]

had to help trouble shoot so I can handle the tech support back end of this crap when problems come

when you know tech....the people will come to you for help and sometimes it is painful

[mental kayak]

man using a macbook with ipad pro 12" to extend to is a beautiful thing

[pliant karma]

beauty of sidecar
