WINNING

gets me a wifi card for $15!

ooo... I found a seller with a ton of Intel cards on Ebay. Make that $9 per wifi card and antenna

Probably the only person ever to get excited about this

[whole quiver]

you ever get that mysterious urge to play league of legends?

[shut lichen]

no.

[olive stump]

No I’m not depressed

[whole quiver]

not even a tiny bit?

understandable, have a nice day.

[steel marsh]

TFT maybe not normal league tho

[olive stump]

Self harm is a symptom of depression

[halcyon rapids]

get ax201

same price

[wicked rapids]

dont know if this is public knowledge but how come Colin doesnt talk in videos? its mentioned his first language isnt english but he seems to understand it listening

[carmine stirrup]

Not that I see

[shut lichen]

it's just a meme at this point

linus and silent colin

[undone mountain]

Just finished the 5th coat of my cheap bum table anyone got ideas on how can I polish paint? To make it glossy

[shut lichen]

and a benefit to him not talking is that he doesn't need a mic

[carmine stirrup]

use a gloss paint and polish with 600 grit sandpaper between each coat

[undone mountain]

And I'm also one step closer to finishing this side of my wall

[carmine stirrup]

or put polyurethane on top and also polish between coats

[shut lichen]

[undone mountain]

Aight I'll take note on that thanks a lot

[undone mountain]

Can I ask wdym by polish since I only have paint, brush, and rollers and some cardboard soo it won't be messy

[carmine stirrup]

I mean to sand it with 600 grit sandpaper

you don't do that with your final coat, though

[wicked rapids]

yeah ive just found a video where he speaks, silent colin is just a bit XD

[undone mountain]

Aight thanks a lot again

[carmine stirrup]

yw 🙂

[fallow matrix]

Yo

I got a crappy toshiba laptop that runs dark souls at 10 fps

[undone mountain]

Sweet

[fallow matrix]

And i upgraded recently

[undone mountain]

To what?

[fallow matrix]

Asus gaming laptop with a ton of bloatware

[undone mountain]

Cool

[fallow matrix]

And rtx :)))

[undone mountain]

Series?

[rancid dock]

which one? i mean ds

[fallow matrix]

Asus rog smth gaming laptop my dad bought at the gpu shirtage

[fallow matrix]

Ds1

[rancid dock]

oh, oof

[fallow matrix]

Yeah it slow af

[undone mountain]

How does it game

Ur laptop is prob 100x better than my pc

[fallow matrix]

Gta 5 at 70+ fps max settings (except msaa)

Elden ring at a constant 60 fps at max settings

[scenic blaze]

shouldnt you like sand it first smh

[fallow matrix]

Fh5 at 40 fps (high settings)

Idk why it is at 40 fps though

[rancid dock]

thats nice, ER is horribly optimized

[undone mountain]

Bro I'm a college student 19 yearsold idk a thing I'm just using guts knowledge 😅

[fallow matrix]

And it has the 3050 laptop gpu (the worst rtx card by far)

[rancid dock]

also one of the weakest entries in the souls series, i don't get why people praise it so much

[fallow matrix]

So yeah a practically free gaming setup

[scenic blaze]

learnt that the time i painted my xbox when i was 15 bruh

[fallow matrix]

With a decent gpu

[undone mountain]

Hey each day we grow older we learn something right

[fallow matrix]

I got an xbox 360

But it broke after my cat peed on it😢

So yeah bye guys my phon is at 1%

[undone mountain]

Bud still got better specs than my pc

I7 7700
Rtx 2070 mini
Z270 prime a board

My pc is like 5 yearsold already planning to upgrade it but decided to use that money to paint my walls and make a cheap table

[rancid dock]

a desktop 2070 is way better than a laptop 3050 lol

[fallow matrix]

The 2070 is still a decent gpu tho

Yeah it has mor vram

[undone mountain]

Really? Didn't knew that

[rancid dock]

yeah

[fallow matrix]

And i got 32 gigs of ddr5 ram

I need it for google chrome

[undone mountain]

But yeah I guess it's better since it lasted longer than my relationships

[fallow matrix]

Lol

Relatable

[undone mountain]

Got 32 gigity bites but ddr4

[fallow matrix]

Okie

[fallow matrix]

Ngl ssds should hav ram chips for really fast (but too little) storage

[undone mountain]

Cost though

[fallow matrix]

Since it has better speed than ssds (in theory)

[fallow matrix]

Not considering the cost rn

[carmine stirrup]

I mean... they do

[fallow matrix]

But it is prob expensive

[undone mountain]

1tb ssd's here in my country cost 100-150 usd and thats the cheapest WD and Kingston models imagine with the thing u proposed price gna be high high

[rancid dock]

Most people wont even notice the difference between a SATA and a NVMe SSD when doing day to day tasks so i dont really see the point.

[undone mountain]

Btw m.2 ssd's on what I meant

[carmine stirrup]

that's what SSD cache is

it's ram on the SSD drive/chip

[fallow matrix]

I meant m.2

Not sata

[undone mountain]

Same thing I guess

[carmine stirrup]

there are M.2 sata drives

[fallow matrix]

Ok

[carmine stirrup]

the difference is NVMe (runs on PCIE bus) and Sata, which runs on the slower sata bus

[fallow matrix]

How do i run gta 4 btw

[rancid dock]

on better SSDs at least, afaik cheaper SSDs dont have cache

[carmine stirrup]

some do not, yeah

[fallow matrix]

I wanna play it kinda

[undone mountain]

Anyone here got an idea for a cheap sander? Since I think using sand paper grinding the walls would be time consuming and painful in my arms

Saw a locust brand but don't know if it's reliable

[carmine stirrup]

most people use these

and then screw a broom stick in

[undone mountain]

Ohh I see hope I can find those here

But is there a attachment thing that I can attach to a drill?

[summer folio]

1337 EU!

[gleaming compass]

Amazon has sanding disks for drills but I have never used one before. I would prefer to use a dremel for something like that.

Anyone know how to spot a fake Sapphire AMD Radeon card?

[full fossil]

@gleaming compass just make sure it's sold and shipped by Amazon and you should be good. If the price is too good to be true avoid it.

@gleaming compass or sold by a brand/company you recognise

[gleaming compass]

it was listed as Sold by Amazon LLC

but Amazon has since removed the product page

and the manual talks about the advantage of the Nitro+ 5000 series

[jaunty compass]

7700 is pretty mid honestly
however BGA to LGA cpus exist

[bronze pendant]

bruh. what have people choose the phone for Linus?

[lilac bear]

he thought it was a good idea to make an internet poll

[gilded forge]

E3 was just permanently cancelled

[spice pine]

massive W

[waxen verge]

'Tis unfortunate 😔

[prime solstice]

Noo now how else will I find out about Mario 128

[halcyon rapids]

I just trimmed my beard by myself

my father used to help me but this is the first time that I did it myself

[gleaming compass]

hopefully the Fire phone :P

[whole swallow]

Now The Game Awards need to be sacked

[gilded forge]

but master keighley

[whole swallow]

He can keep the summer game fest

[gleaming compass]

The EA or UbiSoft will bring them back in a bias way that 90% of the award go to themselves

[whole swallow]

Nobody watches for the awards anyway

It's just a cringe trailer fest so it can safely die

[gleaming compass]

no one watches them but they do put the results on their marketing for the game

esp. when they re-release a "game of the year" edition

Steam will also sometimes have sales to promote the results

[whole swallow]

Steam will find any excuse for a sale, lol

[gleaming compass]

yes

[whole swallow]

but you're just describing a feedback loop that ultimately doesn't matter. If people cared about awards they'd be watching the DICE awards. TGA only gets eyes for the trailers

[gleaming compass]

the feedback loop will be recreated, you will just have something less mature and more misleading

[whole swallow]

Honestly doubt that cause these AAA companies would have to work together and they can't even tie their own shoes without pissing their pants

[gleaming compass]

no, they don't have to work together

it only takes one company and a lot of marketing money to generate a bias reward show

[whole swallow]

which would not happen either. A bias award show still needs the industry to provide the smoke screen of legitimacy

[gleaming compass]

So if CBS owned CNET and CES gave CNET the rights to judge CES resulting in the Dish Hopper DVR being selected as best in show only to have CBS tell CNET that it didn't win because they feel it encourages "pirating" CBS content then the clear bias would cause what?

We would all stop ever going to CBS for News? We would stop ever reading CNET content and they would go out of business in about a year? We would stop going CES?

Because this isn't a theoretical example, it actually happened

The industry is such a twisted pretzel of bias that we have given up keep track and just accept it.

There is nothing CES ever did to try to show legitimacy

In fact, if you look at what the lobby group CTA which runs CES does/behaves, it is clear they misuse the word "consumer" to mislead and never have the interest of the consumer in mind.

[whole swallow]

isn't CES regarded as a yearly clown show where the main attractions are weird shit and the vendors trying to steal from each other?

I didn't even know it had awards, lol

[gleaming compass]

To us, yes. Each of the 4 major national public broadcast networks still cover it.

[white pawn]

its ok, put THICK coats of polyurethane on it and you can actually use a very fine grit sandpaper to smooth, then a roughish buffing pad to polish it and make it look nice (advice from a professional carpenter i knew)

[velvet marsh]

There is some cool stuff at CES, but yeah nothing groundbreaking typically

[white pawn]

and most of it will never see the light of a store shelf anyway usually

That is true as well, I was able to see the Wall from Samsung tho, which was cool

[full fossil]

240 packets of instant coffee

Are those popcorn chip bags lol

They look like dog food bags in that pic for some reason

I thought they were 9kg bags of popcorn

[gleaming compass]

how long has it been sitting there since the beans were destroyed?

[white pawn]

oh yeah, that thing would've been sooooo expensive tho 🙂 but very cool

[velvet marsh]

LG and Sony had one as well. Sony used it for the new ghostbusters movie

[full fossil]

It's instant coffee

[full fossil]

Yes

[gleaming compass]

it violates my religion on so many levels :P

[white pawn]

i remember when LG had that trailer that went around witht he 108 inch screen inside, and they woujld announce it coming to your town in all the best buys and electronics shops like it was a concert or something LOL

[gleaming compass]

you might as well be using k-cups

[full fossil]

My brain sees proportions really weird lol

[full fossil]

Cool

[gleaming compass]

sigh :)

[white pawn]

gotta love the casual snobbery of coffee drinkers LOL

[gleaming compass]

it is a process that should be provided respect

[white pawn]

easy way to unite both sides tho

[velvet marsh]

I only drink my coffee if the bean has been eaten and shit out by a monkey

[white pawn]

Hey guys, I don't drink coffee at all, it tastes like semi digested camel crap! 🙂

(watch em come for me) LOL

[full fossil]

I'm a student with little to no coffee setup and I need to keep myself realistic.

[white pawn]

its scalding bean tea

[full fossil]

So unless you want to help me invest on proper espresso machines, then sure, my inbox is always open for a cheque or two.

[gleaming compass]

I don't believe in espresso. I get the best results with a coffee vacuum siphon or a french press.

[white pawn]

the worst part is, the coffee considered the best in the world is shit out by a semi feline rodent 😛

[full fossil]

Anyway, my lab has a new 'communal terminal' which is used for regular, non-gaming use and the CPU used is the good ol Ryzen 9 7900

[waxen verge]

I have never drank coffee in my life

[white pawn]

well, i can't say never, but i have yet to try any that didn;t taste awful

[whole swallow]

coffee is extremely overrated

[full fossil]

Coffee is good but snobby pretentious fucks ruined the concept

[gleaming compass]

probably a good policy in the long run

[full fossil]

Coffee should be considered as a 'cup of joe', something that people grab in the morning for the extra caffeine/boost of morale, but there are so much people who think that coffee is a religion and everyone who drinks instant is a menace.

[gleaming compass]

you are making it wrong

[waxen verge]

Whenever I say that, I always hear either thus or people saying I'm missing out on the greatest joys of life

[waxen verge]

Yeah 👍

[gleaming compass]

you do understand me! :) I was scared that you just didn't care

[white pawn]

ya know, considering i have never made it myself, but been to what are considered some of the best coffee houses in the world, i think I probably didn;t make it wrong

but hey, "you are making it wrong" translates into english as "I am a snob" so it works out, right? 🙂

[gleaming compass]

starbucks?

[whole swallow]

it's like wine, it's fine and good with fun variety but the entire sommelier side of it needs to be ejected into the sun

[full fossil]

I care about coffee, but I don't really give a shit about it nor your antics. I just buy them because it is convenient but you decided to be all like an elitist bullshit.

So please, let me enjoy my things.

[white pawn]

Roaster(might have the name wrong) in Japan, Coffee Science in louisiana, one in tenessee that i can't remember the name of, so no, not starbucks

[full fossil]

You're just another reason why people dislike coffee snobs, because you think you're above mortals by drinking coffee with different kind of preparation.

[waxen verge]

Woah this escalated quite a bit

[white pawn]

oh, i did have the name wrong, it's The Roastery

[full fossil]

As usual, coffee snobs ruining everything it touched.

[gleaming compass]

oh

[white pawn]

only been ten years or so, im kinda surprised i got it that close LOL

they did have some AMAZING hot chocolate at the time tho

[gleaming compass]

nice

[white pawn]

and if ya want scary good apple cider, go to an orchard. most of em make it fresh in the fall

[gleaming compass]

we destroyed our local apple orchard to make an airport but still call it ORD on the luggage

[white pawn]

oh that sucks

[gleaming compass]

it really does suck

[full fossil]

Usually my regular reaction to these kinds of snobbery is a bit aggressive.

[white pawn]

orchards are awesome

[white pawn]

I'm only a snob about one thing really, and that's that I am better than any snob 😛

[full fossil]

Nah, not you.

[gleaming compass]

so what you are saying is you can't make an omlette without pre-grinding coffee beans ahead of time? :P

[full fossil]

You can't make an omelette with coffee beans.

[wispy ruin]

Can confirm tried and it didn’t work

[white pawn]

i mean, you COULD, it just wouldn't be what anyone would call edible LOL

[gleaming compass]

EA would still releast it

[wispy ruin]

Where did ea come from

[white pawn]

"what are these crunchy things int he omelette?" "Don't worry about those, they build character"

[wispy ruin]

Also aint no one got all that time

[gleaming compass]

So I have been told

[gleaming compass]

it is odd that after losing a phone to getting it wet in the pool that the replacement would be a LG Wing that has no waterproofing

I would have selected the Nokia XR21 for him

anyone who knows abit about android and such things pls help me in #1027757333117415424 '

Fuck it I'm moving to iPhone once my Xiaomi breaks.

15 Pro titanium black 128GB. Might as well be a reason to clean all of my stuff too.

[stoic beacon]

Speaking of phones, if anybody is on Google Fi for their provider, they're selling the S23 for $300

[lilac bear]

wait until you hear about PC enthusiasts

[lilac bear]

Linus let a bunch of joksters decide what phone to use

Fairphone 5 or Xperia 1 V make the most sense but

[gilded quest]

He could have just gone for fold 5

[stoic beacon]

Fold 5 would have been the obvious, and boring choice for him

[gilded quest]

It's the safe choice

[lilac bear]

folding phone

safe
kek

[gilded quest]

Fwiw, if I did a ton of email on my phone, fold would be nice

[stoic beacon]

Correct, but not the one that allows him to produce a video out of it that gets millions of views

[gilded quest]

True

[gleaming compass]

I think Louis Rossmann provided more than enough information why Fairphone should be ignored

[gilded quest]

"so I picked the fold 5 because it allows me high productivity and a big screen for watching TV in bed"
30k views

[gilded quest]

I have issues with the fairphone

[stoic beacon]

Fairphone does not make that much sense for Linus anyways. Use in Canada with their cell providers would be tough, and Linus is not a privacy focused person. Right to repair, yes, but even right to repair doesn't matter to him if it's a device he can't really use. And he keeps his phones for a long time no matter what

[lilac bear]

Rossmann is a crazy old man
he tells the truth but 90% of it is non-sense ranting
like the racism doorbell he overreacted as hell

[gilded quest]

Mainly that they want it to last like 8 years but it isn't even using a flagship processor

I'd actually love for Google to eventually sell tensor chips to other OEMs with long term soc support

Since Qualcomm doesn't seem interested in it

[stoic beacon]

I'd love for tensor chips to eventually become good before that happens

[lilac bear]

Tensor is cope

at the moment

[gilded quest]

It would be years before it could happen

Tensor will need a few iterations in TSMC before anyone else would consider it

[gleaming compass]

But it isn't Rossmann opinion that impacted me. It was a Fairphone employee that described the company model as being like a ponzi scheme in which they can only fund shipping phones to people that already paid for the phone MONTHS ago if people continue to pay for more orders of their backlogged phones

[gilded quest]

Yeah, my pixel battery life is bad, but performance is actually great even though the benchmarks are shit

[stoic beacon]

For me, it was more the battery and poor connection

When I had a pixel, it did in fact have less microstutters than my Samsung phones, but it didn't matter if I couldn't call anybody

[lilac bear]

tensor is good enough if you're not gaming

[gilded quest]

I don't have modem issues
But I also live in an area with pretty good cellular so that's hard for me to test

[gleaming compass]

Worst thing for the reputation of Google Pixel is Google ignoring an Android 13 bug for 10 days that was bricking only Pixel phones

[gilded quest]

The modem certainly isn't the fastest, but it's just as reliable as my work phone with a Qualcomm modem

[gleaming compass]

Google selected to market Pixel on the basis of reliability and we now know they had zero commitment to reliability in October

[gilded quest]

They're anything but consistent on pixel marketing

I don't even believe the promised 7 years of updates

And my pixel 6 had numerous bugs that were never fixed before I traded it in

[gleaming compass]

It is more realistic that the Pixel will get 7 years of updates than Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows you will ever need

[stoic beacon]

Pixel went from one of the things I was the most passionate about, clear back in the Nexus days to a device that I view as simply the best option if you're throwing Graphene on it. Otherwise, I can't think of a reason to buy one.

Well, Graphene and the camera.

[gilded quest]

Lmao I remember that

[gilded quest]

The camera on the 8/Pro is so good

[limpid badger]

i mean canon is making lithographic printing which suppose to be more efficient

[stoic beacon]

It is. It is by far the best camera on a phone, period.

But again, doesn't matter if the battery is dead or I'm dropping phone calls.

[gilded quest]

Some people just want the clean android experience

Like, the iOS of android

[stoic beacon]

I've given every Pixel since the Pixel 1 a shot, and the 6, 6a, 7, 7a, and 8 were all terrible hardware experiences. Sold them quickly

[limpid badger]

a clean version of android is a mixed of nothing and pixel

[gleaming compass]

I getting sick of smart phones being about the quality of the rear camera. I would prefer a good bluetooth le protocol to external cameras and just leave the read camera out of being directly in the phone.

[stoic beacon]

Samsung is just as clean at this point, so I find that hard to believe...Samsung offers Apple levels of reliability in the hardware department. Pixel can't offer that reliability either way

[gilded quest]

When you're trying to market to as broad an audience as possible, convenience of what's in your pocket is the ultimate goal

[stoic beacon]

That's the conclusion I came to. If I care so much about photo quality, I'll buy a nice camera to go with my functioning Samsung.

[limpid badger]

i would prefer the phone game to be about innovative stuff like the phone linus using

[gilded quest]

I strongly disagree (about OneUI being clean) but OneUI is pretty good if you want the Samsung experience

[gilded quest]

LG Wing 2 when

[limpid badger]

stuff like that would make the phone market be more to open to ideas

[gleaming compass]

a canon powershot elph is thin enough to sit in the same pocket as a pixel phone and outperforms every pixel cameras to date

[gilded quest]

Okay but try to convince the average user to carry a camera with them

[stoic beacon]

Given that the average user is okay with Samsung and iPhone photos, I'd say that photo quality is irrelevant to them anyways.

[gilded quest]

Half the population doesn't even have real pockets on their clothes

[limpid badger]

but y carry a actual camera that only does one thing when i have a cinema quality camera on my phone that does the same thing?

[stoic beacon]

Because it simply doesn't do the same thing. This is the point I'm making. Most people don't understand the difference anyways.

[gilded quest]

Flagship Google/Samsung/iPhone all take good photos tho
I wouldn't say any are better than the others, just different styles

[limpid badger]

one takes pictures, one does more then takes pictures

[stoic beacon]

I consider color inaccuracy to not be a good photo.

Samsung and iPhone blowing out colors is not good photography.

[gleaming compass]

cinema quality camera? on a device that has no tripod mount? you actually believe a device that need to be awkwardly cradled with an adapter that attempts to clamp the phone is a cinema quality camera??

[stoic beacon]

Like I said....the average user has no idea

[gilded quest]

Conversely, it also "looks more pleasing", especially on Samsung's saturated displays.

Unless you're printing, people don't care about color accuracy that much

[limpid badger]

considering marquess uses iphone to film his car reviews

[gilded quest]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a song rx100 but I don't wanna spend the money on it

[stoic beacon]

Like I said. The average user.

I find Samsung's pictures to look disgusting. And their displays.

[gleaming compass]

then google should bring back Project Ara so I don't need to re-buy rear cameras over and over and over again. I should be able to move over the rear camera I already have to the next Pixel

[gilded quest]

1. convenience using and handling a phone for vlogging
2. good enough video quality

[stoic beacon]

He is a terrible example to use for this situation...

[gilded quest]

The ultra can take some danm good raws

[gilded quest]

Austin Evans is a better example where they just use iPhones for filming non vlog content half the time

[steel marsh]

i dont understand why he bought a cybertruck tbh

[gilded quest]

Or dankpods where it's all iphone

[limpid badger]

the point is, unless your a professional photographer theres no need for a camera when a phone is just as good

[gilded quest]

1. he can
2. content
3. gonna pitch it against rivian for camera car
4. I hope they keep the rivian

[steel marsh]

better to drive the rivian than a death trap with no crumble zones

[gilded quest]

That's absolutely where we're headed to.

I stopped using mirrorless cameras altogether recently.

...granted, I started using 35mm film SLRs...

[limpid badger]

the average person doesnt even care about smartphone cameras its about if the phone doesnt drop calls

[gilded quest]

Half the people younger than me would rather die than take a phone call

[gleaming compass]

I love the lie that "Shot on IPhone" is done with a device that can fit in your pocket:

what the actual fook

[gilded quest]

I can get it

[limpid badger]

but y

[dreamy otter]

stuck with AT&T in the Nashville area

[dense wraith]

I wish lol - we can get 25 but the cost isn't quite worth it

[limpid badger]

theres no need for 50gbps

[gilded quest]

They offer it because they can I guess

I would love to know if anyone actually signed up for the 50 gigabit plan

[limpid badger]

@gleaming compass true

[gleaming compass]

well, according to LTT's bot we can't talk about how instragram studies indicate self harm of it's users :(

[gilded quest]

Highest speed I can actually use is 2 gig
5 gig + would require more expensive infrastructure upgrades than it's worth rn

[limpid badger]

i get 5gbps but since i dont have a msi godlike or the equivalent i cant use all my speed

msi pro x670-p wifi

[dense wraith]

In the future we would love 10G for backing up to an external server we would host

[limpid badger]

thats mine

[gleaming compass]

I think the next step up from 10Gbps is 40Gbps

[dense wraith]

Much more realistic represntation from bandwidth from cloudflare

[limpid badger]

tf is that

is that ur ISP speed test?

[spice pine]

https://speed.cloudflare.com/

[gleaming compass]

you are in romania?

[rancid dock]

is there a cli tool for that as well like speedtest-cli?

[dense wraith]

No - US based

[dense wraith]

Not sure - Need to look into it

[dense wraith]

https://github.com/KNawm/speed-cloudflare-cli yes!

[gleaming compass]

Oh yeah, Ajit Pai is no longer chairman! USA can do things again!

[rancid dock]

cool, thanks

[rancid dock]

speedtest.net found a server way closer to me so not sure if the cloudflare one is better for everyone

for me the cloudflare server wasnt even in my country

[dense wraith]

Actually we've had this fiber since I think 2010

[gleaming compass]

More of the web pages your browser for will come from cloudflare than speedtest. How large is Ookla's CDN? :P

[dense wraith]

Yeah my point is that cloudflare is much more representative of the broader internet. My phrasing is bad here, I mean that it will show you more of what the general speed for internet pages, like what @fluke said

[rancid dock]

ah ic

[limpid badger]

i dont think cloud flare likes me

[dense wraith]

And its run by our local power utility

[gleaming compass]

You didn't enable IPv6?

[limpid badger]

how do i enable ipv6?

[stoic beacon]

It's unfortunate that I pay for 300mbps upload and download. Ziply has never once delivered on that promise.

[rancid dock]

not all ISPs give you ipv6, i have only ipv4 as well

[limpid badger]

i have a ipv6 address

[rancid dock]

https://test-ipv6.com/

[limpid badger]

but cloudflare isnt picking it up

[gleaming compass]

Those ISP should get up to speed! I predict that all the IP registeries will have exhausted their IPv4 pools by at least November 25, 2019. There isn't much time left.

[limpid badger]

so i have the area im being routed through has ipv6 but i dont

how

[rancid dock]

yeah they do NAT, also dynamic IPs

[limpid badger]

im calling my isp rn to see why they dont give me ipv6

[gleaming compass]

IPv4 NAT is a kludge

[rancid dock]

yeah

[gilded quest]

I can get 1/2/5/10/50

[gleaming compass]

Tell them that Vint Cerf said IPv4 was only the beta test of the internet and IPv6 is when the real internet begins :P

[limpid badger]

lmao

[gleaming compass]

He really did say that

I think every christmas tree light should get it's own IP address thus justifying I need my own /64 allocation :P

luckly my ISP already provides me a /64

[vapid cypress]

Did discord just revert their new ui on mobile?

Bruh now it's back

What is happening

[limpid badger]

cap

[whole swallow]

I have yet to see this fabled new ui

[limpid badger]

what device u running?

[whole swallow]

S23 ultra

[limpid badger]

hmm

no idea, ill show u a ss

[whole swallow]

kewl thanks

[limpid badger]

i sorta like it

but its takes the muscle memory i had on the on app away

[whole swallow]

huh guess I do have new ui and just can't tell much of a difference pre-post update. I'm not a discord power user tho

[limpid badger]

hmmm

[stoic beacon]

Having the bottom bar is extremely nice. Much easier to use with one hand

[limpid badger]

indeed

[stoic beacon]

Though, it takes a LONG time to switch between Servers and Messages

[limpid badger]

it only takes a extra .5s

like is it really that long

[stoic beacon]

I'd say it's closer to 5 seconds, and sometimes it fails to make the switch

Probably something that'll be worked out soon though

[limpid badger]

its instant for me

[whole swallow]

Discord mobile has always been garbage so mebbe just my long standing resentment blinds me too, lol

[tardy terrace]

G'morning.

[limpid badger]

[pliant karma]

Morning

[limpid badger]

another panda

[halcyon rapids]

ok

restart phone or keep grinding

[gilded quest]

Restart

[gilded forge]

what phone?

[halcyon rapids]

samsung galaxy a30s

[lilac bear]

you know who else is easier to use with one hand

[halcyon rapids]

best phone to drop on the ground

[gilded forge]

I hate budget phones but okay

[halcyon rapids]

it isnt worth shit so i dont care if i drop it

i can use it with a cracked screen

[lilac bear]

not wrong

[halcyon rapids]

costed me $200 in 2019, still works fine

i will buy a15 or something if i break this

or a34/a35

[gilded forge]

I hate the whole a series of phones

[mental cedar]

Why?

[halcyon rapids]

i love buying them to send 2 messages a day and check my schedule

i dont play red dead redemption 2 on my phone

[gilded forge]

the phones support 90/120Hz but theyre so shit that most of them never reach max refresh rate. also they're filled with ads/bloat/automatic installing of apps.

[halcyon rapids]

my phone is 60hz 🥺

i debloated my phone 🥺

[mental cedar]

bloatware helps to reduce the price of the phone

[halcyon rapids]

i use evolution x 🥺

[mental cedar]

and you can just delete it

[gilded forge]

okay but you're tech savvy. most people who buy these phones aren't.

[mental cedar]

i think you just have too high standards for budget phones

[halcyon rapids]

im dumb as fuck bro wdym

i bought a phone with a 720p display

[gilded forge]

the issue is that budget phones exist. with shit specs. when you can get like 3yo used/refurbished phones for the same price or just a little bit more, with better performance l, then they have no usem

[halcyon rapids]

i dont like used stuff

i mean used tech

[mental cedar]

same

[halcyon rapids]

i would only use a used desktop

i wouldn't buy any used tablets/laptops/phones

[white pawn]

you mean you wouldn't just download a laptop?

[halcyon rapids]

download??

[white pawn]

was a joke based on an old anti-piracy commercial

[white pawn]

i like!

[lilac bear]

I actually hate that Linus made a whole video saying the A54 was amazing

[halcyon rapids]

a53

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N74UyI_dd0w

[lilac bear]

bro probably used it for one day, made three calls, and was satisfied enough to call it better than flagships

[halcyon rapids]

i had the a53 for 6 days

i returned it because it had a spicy pillow

[lilac bear]

my bad though, didn't know the video was that old already

[mental cedar]

yeah especially when theres much better cheaper options like the poco f5

[lilac bear]

Poco F5 and Motorola are great
well Motorola lack of update

[waxen verge]

I went through 3 A51s before getting an S22 lol

They are not very durable, I can tell you that much :/

[mental cedar]

yeah i went with the F5, for only 350 euro its an amazing value

[pliant karma]

lol I had an A51 but swapped to another phone a year after it

current phone I have had longer then my previous so there is that lol

[waxen verge]

Thats nice

[opal thunder]

What’s crazy is that my neighborhood is so congested that even though we pay for 1.5 up and 1 down when putting my phone against the AP it somehow gets worse speeds.

[opal thunder]

When I'm wired into the AP it's fine though.

[white pawn]

I miss the active line from Samsung. no case needed, just get a tempered glass screen protector and thats it. used to go swimming in lake lanier with mine 😛

[waxen verge]

Jeez

[opal thunder]

cell service is ass in my neighborhood as well 😒

[velvet marsh]

What device is it?

[opal thunder]

Telus wifi 6 booster

wait

You mean which device is the internet speeds being measured on?

[velvet marsh]

yeah

[opal thunder]

An iphone in the first one and my computer in the second

[white pawn]

my router can do it's own speed test, i love it 🙂 "Asus, we put in features no one in their right mind would need" LOL

[velvet marsh]

the iPhone one is probably the device radio, the extender is probably a 1x1 antenna

[dreamy otter]

speaking of Speedtests, I got this in the middle of the woods in gatlinburg lmao

Went from no service to basically full signal

[opal thunder]

No idea but it's an Iphone SE (2020) so I'm pretty sure it has wifi 6 capabilities

should at least get 500 when literally in front of the AP

[velvet marsh]

It supports wifi 6, but the booster is probably only a 1x1 connection giving you a theoretical max of 600

[opal thunder]

nice to know thanks

[velvet marsh]

Not 100% on it, but thats the most likely cause

[dreamy otter]

Sounds like you need to get a better PC lol. I’ve gotten 30 on a 2015 HP Stream with a Celeron N2840

[opal thunder]

even my old pc with a pentium and igpu got 25-45fps with perf mods

[elder scarab]

i dont even know what that means but i know it bad

[dreamy otter]

That laptop went for $200 new in 2015 lol

[elder scarab]

i have Radeon R4 graphics

[opal thunder]

I would still ditch the 512gb ssd

[elder scarab]

nuh uh 🔥

[opal thunder]

if you need more storage in the future get an extra 2tb

[elder scarab]

ITS BOOTLOADER

[velvet marsh]

and it's hardwired back to the main router?

[opal thunder]

not the iphone

the computer is getting 1gig though just fine

others are also using the internet so its to be expected to be under the 1.5 maximum

[opal thunder]

doesnt need 2 for that

i literally only have a single drive

[elder scarab]

the more the merrier

[velvet marsh]

is the AP?

[opal thunder]

true

[opal thunder]

Yes

[velvet marsh]

From what I'm seeing looks like it's the iPhone, most people are reporting like 400mb/s max with the SE2020

[opal thunder]

ah i see

[velvet marsh]

Any other wifi 6 devices to test the theory lol

[opal thunder]

Lemme get my brother to try his pixel 6 that has wifi 6e capabilities

[opal thunder]

His iPhone SE vs his pixel 6

Surprised that his iphone is getting better speeds than mine but it might be that someone finished downloading something in between the 2 speed tests

[velvet marsh]

Only other thing I can think of is channel width

But yeah those seem about right for the iPhone

[opal thunder]

goofy

at least i now know i have a 4x4 antenna on the boosters side of things

What the hell is hydrogen water

[undone mountain]

Expensive water

[prime solstice]

Water but instead of other chemicals it uses hydrogen

[undone mountain]

Well the name is expensive but h20 is water ffs just marketing stupid Amerikanski capitalist always money

[vapid cypress]

H with 2 0's 🤯

[eager notch]

That's hydrogen peroxide.

[vapid cypress]

Wait

Chemisty

[prime solstice]

Time to chug that now /j

[vapid cypress]

I forgor my chemistry classes

[undone mountain]

Also here another pic to blind u

[vapid cypress]

Thanks

[prime solstice]

Saw this when I searched hydrogen water on Amazon

[eager notch]

Soooo water...

[undone mountain]

How can you forget that broo me n my prof made some explosives on chem class and some funny smelly substances that cause the school to shut down for a week back at highschool

[prime solstice]

Yes but water that will work in a hydrogen bomb /j

[vapid cypress]

I'm a D2O enjoyer

[vapid cypress]

You are literally walter white wtf

[vapid cypress]

I'm a heavy drinker what can I say

[undone mountain]

Nahh that's my prof we made mustard gas or something by accident well that's what we tell the police, the health and safety and the firemen even though it's not by accident just to prof that mustard gass turns metal to blue

Or was it copper I forgot

It's been like 6 or 7 years already daum time surely pass fast

[vapid cypress]

Your teacher had one job

Smh

[undone mountain]

And he still has that job till now even got his masteral degree last year

[vapid cypress]

Good for them

[eager notch]

I mean mustard gas you can make with just bleach and ammonia

[undone mountain]

Nahh we used sulfur for that one hence why whole school shut down for a week

[vapid cypress]

Free day off

[undone mountain]

Yep

[vapid cypress]

Chem teachers hate this one simple trick

[undone mountain]

What trick

[vapid cypress]

Making mustard gas

[undone mountain]

If you think about it chem prof and teachers have great self control like they can make drugs and get rich or work as a scientist on some weird guy

[vapid cypress]

So do cops they can like kill people and stuff

Or let people go because he is in a silly mood

Or literally anyone in the world, we could just kill each other but yet we don't

Except for specific cases where that rule doesn't apply

[polar fern]

this speed test was in a hospital parking lot

was very full parking

[eager notch]

I mean im a teacher and I get just as excited when we have an unexpected day off as when I was in school

[vapid cypress]

👍

[undone mountain]

Bro what the hell is that flag can't seem to find it on any country

They’re expensive tho

[stoic beacon]

About how much does it cost per serving?

I'm always looking for new Costco things to try

[fallow matrix]

Guys

[peak phoenix]

False. Mustard gas is different from chloramine gas.

And NO ONE should mix bleach (chlorine) and ammonia. It will cause harm.

[fallow matrix]

Asus rog pre-build behind the scenes

[peak phoenix]

You want to see something horrifying you can buy commonly...there are adhesive removers at Home Depot that when heated will produce phosgene gas.

[flat dew]

hey whats up! loved the latest video from Tech Tech Tips! 🤣 https://www.ganjingworld.com/video/1gca0rp4u2e5Dfur0Uyav9jNr1to1c

someone should probably file a claim about this btw

[harsh quartz]

Imma pee in the bleach bottle

[peak phoenix]

I imagine the ammonia content is low enough to not be as large an issue as cleaning ammonia you buy

[olive stump]

I used to work the hardware dept of a department store, the amount of household goods that can be dangerous when mixed is nuts

We had to stop stocking some types of pool chlorine at one point

[peak phoenix]

muratic acid is becoming harder to find now too

And the fact that denaturared alcohl is still a thing is nuts.

"We don't want you consuming alcohol during prohibition but recognize you still need alcohol. So we'll make alcohol that kills you when you consume it."

[polar fern]

They still sell denatured ethanol. It just has a vomit inducing bitterant

[olive stump]

denatured alcohol is pretty useful as a general solvent

[polar fern]

The dust filter on my new PC case is actually amazing.

It has a static charge to it, which means the dust can just be removed by knocking it against something

Inside of computer, basically dust free

[olive stump]

My next PC build is 100% going to be a silent case with dust filters and no RGB

[polar fern]

The board I have has built-in lighting, but I disabled it

No lighting on memory sticks either

[olive stump]

I need to install the dogshit MSI RGB software to properly disable mine :<

[polar fern]

The only thing with lights on it inside the case is the NVME/pcie riser adapter in the bottom slot. It has a red LED to confirm continuity between the attached SSD and the board slot.

[olive stump]

The fact that most motherboards don't just have it as a BIOS setting should make them liable for crimes against humanity

[olive stump]

Status LEDs are 100% fine with me

[proud tangle]

anyone know what socks lunis sugested on wan show that one time?

[polar fern]

Yeah and red is good. Blue is the worst

Bombas socks prolly

[olive stump]

Having 10 permanently on red LEDs under the motherboard to give it a "glow" effect bc that's the color the MB firmware sticks to without RGB software is really shitty

[polar fern]

Time for some opaque epoxy 🤣

The board I have is actually really nice

Asrock taichi B550.

[olive stump]

Either that or stabbing them out with an LTTstore screwdriver!

[polar fern]

Let me grab a quick picture of that adapter card

[lilac bear]

poor person PC posting hours

[graceful burrow]

Such a fancy board for a stock cooler

[opal thunder]

lmao

[polar fern]

It’s rated for 95 watts & the cpu is 65 tdp. Never goes above 73°F/23°C even after hours of 100% utilisation

[opal thunder]

Yeah i wouldnt change the cooler unless it doesnt cool it

since the stock coolers are fine as long as you arent using a 5700x and above

[polar fern]

It was free with the processor I put in my Lenovo, so.. 🤷‍♂️

[lilac bear]

but have you considered 22°C

[opal thunder]

lol

its pretty much already room temp

[polar fern]

It’s ryzen 7 5700x

[opal thunder]

wtf

[polar fern]

?

[opal thunder]

you are running a 5700x on that cooler at those temps?

pretty sure thats not possible

[polar fern]

Uh the stock is a wraith spire

Er stealth

Stealth is 65 watt

Spire 95 watt

So yeah

[leaden gale]

Pretty sure the 5700X is a 65W part, same as the 5600X

[polar fern]

Yes

[opal thunder]

yeah but unless your room is like 1c it shouldnt be room temp

[leaden gale]

That being said, I don't know how you're managing a max of 23℃ under full load

[opal thunder]

idk maybe those are idle temps

[polar fern]

Good fan layout

Oh, I got it backwards sorry 73°C at max

[lilac bear]

[polar fern]

Bit of a nightmare last few weeks. My brain is totally fried.

[leaden gale]

There we go, that's about what I would expect

[opal thunder]

this makes way more sense

since i have a rig with a 5600x that runs at about that on stock cooler

my brother uses it

so i was about to get him to grab the temps

[polar fern]

-enhanced- 🤔

[graceful burrow]

Hit it with prime95 and see how much it REALLY pulls

[polar pine]

So glad to see people choosing healthier drink choices nowadays

[opal thunder]

you can screenshot btw

[polar fern]

I’m aware. Then I can’t share it on mobile.

[opal thunder]

but you have discord on your pc?

[polar fern]

…

Maybe I don’t sit at a computer all day

[opal thunder]

what was HWiNFO running on then

[graceful burrow]

I don't do cad work all day yet I have fusion 360 installed

[polar fern]

The new computer

[opal thunder]

makes sense

[peak phoenix]

Sure. I keep some around. But there's no reason for the toxic additives anymore.

[lilac bear]

unlike you zoomers I am not weak to toxic additives

[peak phoenix]

Sip on some denatured alcohol then and enjoy the emergency room.

[harsh quartz]

I’ve been drinking this since I was 2 to build up a tolerance. I am 70% denature alcohol

[lilac bear]

and you walk both ways to and from school

[harsh quartz]

?

Aight you lost me with that one

[polar fern]

Uphill both ways in the blizzard

[tardy terrace]

F360 my beloved

[graceful burrow]

no fuck fusion 360

hell program

[opal thunder]

The only 360 I like is the Xbox.

[polar fern]

The only reason they called it “360” is because Nintendo’s code name for the Wii was “revolution”

Not one original idea

[lilac bear]

sighs and unzips

[polar fern]

Don’t forget the lube

[wise plover]

I legit thought of the biggest brain idea for not paying google for more storage

I will make a discord server where i put all my photos

I will never have to pay

[graceful burrow]

have fun with compression

[wise plover]

good point but I dont really care to much about compression

[polar fern]

🤣

[wise plover]

plus i can later upscale

[polar fern]

I mean

It’s risky

[graceful burrow]

i'd rather just like
buy a usb drive for 40 dollars with like

[polar fern]

Sabrent & orico sell all kinds of extremely useful external storage stuff.

[forest garnet]

[polar fern]

[lilac bear]

thats not how it works

but its not my shitty photos

[wise plover]

okay i'm stupid i could just do that

[lilac bear]

or wait until next black friday and get a 2TB SSD for that price

[leaden gale]

Bold of you to assume NAND is going to continue to go down in price, what with all the industry reports about how NAND manufacturers are planning to reduce production and increase pricing because of low demand

[olive stump]

A hard drive sled and a new HDD with a pile of TBs is shockingly cheap these days

Idk why you would’ve just do that

[leaden gale]

HDDs get a bad rap because people were so used to using them as system drives. As mass storage, they're really fucking good at their jobs.

[harsh quartz]

They said no fuck, put that thing away

[harsh quartz]

Hdds are only good cause they make funny noises

[polar fern]

https://a.co/d/a4xpLa6

[leaden gale]

Yes, it's called "I save copious amounts of videos, TV shows, movies, and music"

[cunning dirge]

cant store and play 500 movies or tv shows without getting up on disc

[cunning dirge]

I never understand peoiple who download tv shows and movies and just not delete it when done

[graceful burrow]

what if i wanna watch it again later

[plain badger]

There's quite a few shows and movies I like to rewatch now and then. ... or think I may want to rewatch later. But, if Iv'e gone a few years without touching something, I'll usually delete it.

[gilded forge]

i have a copy of princess bride always downloaded. always. never know when im in need of it.

[old yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-god-why-dana-carvey-angry-gif-13877401

[pure olive]

because at the time i didnt have a xtx

i decided $2k for a gpu was a bit much

[old yacht]

yes, a lot much

[halcyon rapids]

no

get quadro

[median idol]

If only HK made blocks for the 7900 XTX

[pure olive]

i would actually probably buy one

[eager notch]

The hell?

[pure olive]

Pro tip: don’t bump into your gpu and u plug an 8 pin pcie connector while it’s running

[gilded quest]

That's a lot of discord notification

[old yacht]

dont tell me what to do

[median idol]

Though it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually does get made despite it being this late in its life since Watercool/Heatkiller is sort of known for this. (I.e: FTW3 blocks with active Backplate)

[wispy marsh]

Elijah spending time on Discord exposed

[old yacht]

Never

[wispy marsh]

Is this from harddrivemag

[halcyon rapids]

elijah

which phone do you have

[old yacht]

Fold 4

[wispy marsh]

You fold $4
The banker wins with double Aces
You pay the banker $8

[halcyon rapids]

would you use android 11 (oneui 3.1) in 2023

[near nymph]

I wanna switch back to iPhone...

[halcyon rapids]

fuck it man

I'm going to evolution x a13

one ui is dogshit

[vapid smelt]

15 pro is pretty fancy

[near nymph]

I love large screens but dang the 15 Pro is a perfect size

[halcyon rapids]

I love small phones like s23 and zenfone 10

[near nymph]

I like big phones because more content on the screen

[halcyon rapids]

I could have bought an a40 instead of A30s because it's 5.9 inches and has smaller bezels

my a30s is 6.4

[halcyon rapids]

my dad has an s21 ultra because he needs a big screen to read

and he isn't good at typing on small phones

[near nymph]

There's plenty of massive phones out there

[halcyon rapids]

he went from Nokia 500 to s5 neo

then he bought s21 ultra

I still wonder how he was typing on a 4 inch phone

he has big fingers

[near nymph]

Thinking of getting the 15 Pro Max

But I kinda wanna wait for next year to see if apple will give the Canadian variant mmWave

Because our mmWave networks are gonna be out soon

[halcyon rapids]

get 16 pro max

they will fix the titanium and maybe add 90 or 120hz to base models

[near nymph]

Oh yeah the titanium problem

[halcyon rapids]

yes

[near nymph]

Yeah k Fuck that

[halcyon rapids]

my a30s is plastic and I dropped it like 100 times

iphone 15 breaks from a 150cm drop

[sudden bough]

Apple needs too stop releasing a new phone every year cause they keep making broken ones :/

[halcyon rapids]

LMAO

[sudden bough]

True tho

[halcyon rapids]

iphone 2030 event when

[novel notch]

in 4038

[safe terrace]

Windows ISO software shit

[fierce moth]

Ventoy is top

[halcyon rapids]

iphones break easily so people pay a lot for repairs or new phones

[tepid jasper]

i have an a53 and i drop this bad boy at least twice a day, once on hardsurface

no notable damage LOL

[alpine rivet]

Yo where should I post if I wanna ask about pc parts and software?

[jolly drift]

hi guys

[wispy marsh]

lol

redditors funny

[red juniper]

Oh sorry I completely missed this. How would I check that?

[sour schooner]

the real slim shady

[manic torrent]

Check the specs.

[red juniper]

I just tried finding them online and I think I found the right ones and they both say the word VESA

Do they have to be like a specific size or does any VESA mount work with a monitor that says VESA

[manic torrent]

All normal monitors are 100x100 vesa

[red juniper]

Ok cool thanks!

[polar fern]

@halcyon rapids this is categorically untrue.

Out of all of the iPhones I’ve ever owned. None of them have ever actually had a screen issue or bent or anything else like that.

[rancid dock]

yeah i dont know what they are on about

i never had issues either

[polar fern]

Also, the newest Apple warranty (at least here in the United States) is incredibly good.

Man, this new version of Discord is not only goofy and clunky, but it has tons of bugs too

It’s like they went around and tried to figure out how to make it worse

I will likely need to get a new battery for my iPhone in the next year, but I also use the fuck out of it the first few months I own the phone

I think the battery is probably the only issue I have with iPhones

Make the goddamn things thicker and add a giant chunk battery

Or even better add multiple batteries.

[halcyon rapids]

ikr I love plastic phones

[halcyon rapids]

iphone 6s honest reaction:

[full fossil]

I have only owned a few phones a RAZR V3 it was purple an iphone 6s/iphone 8 a samsung a70 and a samsung a03s

in terms of battery life the a03s knocks them all out of the water it's a nuclear reactor

only reason I chose this phone was the 5000mAh battery

[carmine stirrup]

Right there with you on my S23

[zenith grotto]

Bread

[full fossil]

i have the samsung a14, 5500mAh battery

also have the s23 ultra but my father took it haha

when your internship place gives you a laptop and you discover the battery is diy because theyre too lazy to replace it....

sketch

yes

[full fossil]

how long does your full charge last? I am curious.

[carmine stirrup]

About 3.5 days

[full fossil]

decent that's better then I get

mines 3.3 days

[full fossil]

ultra or?

[carmine stirrup]

Just regular. Ultras don't fit in my favorite purses

[wooden minnow]

Fellow small S23 user?

[carmine stirrup]

Yup!

[wooden minnow]

I hate big phones

The Xiaomi 10T Pro (as covered on Short Circuit) was my final large daily

[full fossil]

ahhh

i got the s23 ultra solely for the camera 😭

i cant even use it as my father took it 😂

[carmine stirrup]

Damn!

[full fossil]

and i guess a little performance

but yeah it doesnt really fit

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah, I've had ultra sized phones for years and was often frustrated with the size. When the time came to get a new one, I finally decided to go for convenience over moar bigger

[full fossil]

yeah

but the s23 ultra' cameras

[tranquil goblet]

hiya

[echo canopy]

I mean buying the cells yourself is cheaper and you can generally get higher capacity cells.

I wouldn’t shit on them about it

[echo canopy]

Terribly unfair comparison due to how shit the SOC is on the a03 making it sip power

[echo canopy]

Modern iPhones do to maximize the space used inside the phone. Apple has also gone back to stacking their board in the iPhone to fit more battery. If you want more battery sadly you will just have to get a bigger phone like the plus or max.

[gleaming compass]

It is kind of scary that Apple keep trying to fill every little millimeter of space in their devices given what we learned about the Samsung Note 7

I am waiting for another iPod Mini device to be released by Apple

[echo canopy]

The Samsung note 7 had defective batteries

[gleaming compass]

That isn't what I got from the articles I read

[echo canopy]

The iPod mini is also never coming back

[gleaming compass]

it was a defective design

the space for the battery wasn't large enough

[gleaming compass]

Sure, Apple never recreates the flaws of the past in their newer products :P

Did Apple ever explain the iPod Mini?

[echo canopy]

CNET

According to a unpublished preliminary report sent to Korea's Agency for Technology and Standards (obtained by Bloomberg), Samsung had a manufacturing error that "placed pressure on plates contained within battery cells," which "brought negative and positive poles into contact."

"The defect was revealed when several contributing factors happened simultaneously, which included sub-optimized assembly process that created variations of tension and exposed electrodes due to insufficient insulation tape," a Samsung representative tells CNET.

[echo canopy]

It was a music player with basic iPod + Nike integration for workouts

[gleaming compass]

Let me rephrase the question, did Apple ever release a statement why so many of the chard themselves

[echo canopy]

It’s funny because Samsung makes some of the highest quality 18650 and 21700 cells now

[full fossil]

Wud uppp

[echo canopy]

Wdym by chard? The biggest issue with them was the “black spot” that was caused by battery expansion that the design didn’t account for

[gleaming compass]

https://photos2.insidercdn.com/ipodnanomeltdown-20080819.jpg

Should I call it roasted?

[echo canopy]

I’m not sure

[gleaming compass]

https://www.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/iPodnanocatchesfire.jpg

Ipod Smores edition?

I had one and Apple refused to honor their recall

Apple has had a long history of heat not being Apple's friend going back as far as the Apple III and the original Mac

[smoky bane]
