I’ve dropped my phone so much

My iPhone 11 is on its last legs

[velvet marsh]

The last phone I broke was an iPhone 7 lol

[red plume]

Mine was a 5c

Except water damage

[velvet marsh]

That's including water damage

[red plume]

Forgot it was in my pocket dove into the pool like Michael Phelps

[tardy terrace]

I consider myself lucky I have never broken a phone.

[velvet marsh]

1 phone broken in 13 years of smart phones without a case is not bad

[vapid smelt]

ew that had a nasty lcd screen

[velvet marsh]

It was a terrible screen, but it was a work phone

I had the Galaxy S7 edge at the same time

[vapid smelt]

i broke my pixel 5a and that was the only one, the screen died when i droped it no cracks just death

[tardy terrace]

oeuf, clean break

[full fossil]

And zero liquor tax

I have a $200 Xiaomi and this shit has fallen to the floor 2-3 times from one meter height

And dipped in cold water too.

[tardy terrace]

Does taiwan have good whiskey?

[full fossil]

Kavalan

[tardy terrace]

I'll take three bottles.

[full fossil]

I LOVE their sherry cask

I'm buying one later in January before stopping buying it for the winter season. Currently having Glenfiddich 15 and Buffalo Trace.

[full fossil]

And upgrade wise, I will be moving to iPhone 15 Pro Max next year February.

[tardy terrace]

I'll probably run this Pixel 7 into the dirt before I get a new phone. Camera's too good on it

[full fossil]

I can't risk losing this Xiaomi

[tardy terrace]

Also $600 every 6-8 years doesn't sound too bad

[full fossil]

Bank credentials on a different country

And as long as I am still a citizen of the said country I can't get rid of this phone nor number

[tardy terrace]

I'd do a nand dump of the phone just for backup protection tbh

[full fossil]

That's why my dad was like

"Meh, your phone is old anyways. We'll figure it out later during Chinese New Year when you return"

(it's 3 years old)

[tardy terrace]

lolwhat

[full fossil]

Yeah, literally

[vapid cypress]

Your dad old

Replace your dad with a new one

[full fossil]

Nah. He's old but he's simply gold

[vapid cypress]

Gold you say...

[full fossil]

And owning the 15 would make me reconsider my bad choices on cloud storage

I need to manage all of my stuff from scratch

But again I would do it during the winter

[vapid smelt]

[tardy terrace]

You seem neat.

[shut lichen]

why would you have to speak to anyone? I doubt an advanced country like taiwan hasn't automated this stuff....
and also, what customs agent wouldn't know english anyway

[full fossil]

Bro never lived in Taiwan

They don't automate this shit, mainly on customs.

I got friends who bought shit online and needed to go to customs to pay the fees and asking why

[tardy terrace]

automating customs is.. really stupid.

[full fossil]

Sometimes they would reject the item too.

[shut lichen]

"The customs clearance systems for sea and air cargo of the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu's have been fully automated since 1995."

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full fossil]

Idk. I definitely trust a friend of mine who tried.

You should come here and try it for yourself!

Rather than talking like an asshat on discord.

[tardy terrace]

"...I have a theoretical degree in physics!"

[vapid smelt]

no is taiwan a good place to visit or a good country to live in

[glacial crane]

yeah ig

[rancid lichen]

7A I haven't heard much about oddly enough.

[glacial crane]

but i wanted to try pixel but the bezels and the narrow camera bar and everything just...

feels so much more budget than s23 fe/s22

[rancid lichen]

I guess, I haven't gotten that far indepth about androids aside from samsungs and google pixel... I had a friend who had a pixel before their s23 I gotta find them again

"Excessive random freezing, not enough storage (my fault, should've gotten a larger capacity) too many unresolved software bugs, and a more than likely failing WWAN module that was causing it to randomly drop service.
I decided to go big and get the S23 Ultra." (7 pro to s23 switch because of those issues)

Google Pixel is the intel of phones, still not sure what to expect but good results so far

[eager notch]

Fancy edition?

[lilac bear]

I love how Android Authority gave Pixel 8 Pro first and Pixel 7a fourth
S23U no where to be found either with One Plus 11 Pro taking second place

it feels like S23U is suffering from success

it's too good a phone so people go "oh that's overkill for what I need"

[gilded quest]

Which pixel

The a series is budget

[glacial crane]

7a 😩

[gilded quest]

MSRP is half that of S23 lol

But yeah, S23/+/Ultra all have better fit and finish than the pixels

S23 FE is weird

The previous FEs were pretty good

I have a S21FE at work and it's a fantastic device for the price

if i'm allowed to complain about one thing with lttstore is that with a lot of youtuber merch some of the stuff they have is ridiculously overpriced $200-$300 for a backpack, that is WAY TO MUCH!!!

[restive lion]

no you're not

next question

[manic torrent]

why is it too much?

[polar fern]

Person mistaking proper backpack with big box garbage.

[restive lion]

the only cable looms i deal with are annoying multipin cables or ungodly amounts of ethernet + powercon

[polar fern]

[crystal flare]

you can find an identical backpack at your local walmart with similar build quality for around $30-$50.

[manic torrent]

I changed my car gauge setup to use canbus, because omfg the loom.

[gilded forge]

it's a large tech backpack, not a cheap Jansport with two pouches.

[manic torrent]

Can you really? Can you back that up with any kind of actual test or data at all?

[lilac bear]

"similar build quality"

[sage quiver]

I dislike typical merch markups as much as anyone else, but products that are actually custom developed to meet strict specifications don’t come cheap.

[lilac bear]

okay bro we get it you are satisfied with a potato sack for a backpack

[restive lion]

im not sure if you're allowed to judge build quality unless you've purchased and used the product, regardless of what it is

[manic torrent]

don't get me wrong, the LTT backpack is expensive, but it's not competing in the class with $50 backpacks

[manic torrent]

I mean you can - but ... you need to have done SOME level of research. like... at all.

[sage quiver]

It’s also worth mentioning that lttstore shirts are still $20, and of far-better quality than is typical for merch shirts (which are often in the $30+ range these days).

[restive lion]

are people going to complain about the LTT deskpad next

[graceful burrow]

i can if you want me to

[lilac bear]

"oh I found one for $5"

show me a "better" one

[leaden gale]

I would be over the moon if I could put together an enterprise-tier wireless network for our place, but the issue is it would need quick and easy Internet pausing, something which I don't think any such hardware is meant for

[long briar]

I actually have been for a while now

It's a great value for the larger deskpads for sure

[polar fern]

Like,, their water bottle is the best water bottle I’ve ever used and their desk pad is by far and away the best one I’ve used and I have three of them now one for my desk, one for keyboard tray and one for new computer table. I also have the screwdriver which I’ve used a ton and it is wonderful. Folks who want to go by something else are free to do so that’s why it’s called a free market.

[long briar]

but I can't stand behind the material they use for the top surface

Especially since at about a year old somehow got a cut into the pad

and when the top surface gets cut, it splits

and the inner filling comes out

[polar fern]

Filling…?

[long briar]

yea...

idk it's like white strands of something

[polar fern]

What filling?

[graceful burrow]

like a donut
stay with us transit

come on now

[polar fern]

My god, its full of fibers

[long briar]

directly underneath the top fabric like layer are white fibres

[graceful burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/what-is-that-what-is-happening-sam-neill-remove-sunglasses-gif-15770358

transit rn

[long briar]

yea mine somehow got a cut underneath one of my speakers

and I can feel a bit of drift with the pad while playing osu

[polar fern]

Maybe the music you listen to is too edgy

[long briar]

nothing horrible though

[polar fern]

Drift?

[long briar]

idk if "bubblegum pop" (spotify's words, not mine) is edgy lmaooo

[long briar]

ye during certain patterns you can feel it slowly "drift" out of line

[lilac bear]

just like me with your mom 😎

[long briar]

it's not bad though

[polar fern]

Out of… line?

Wat

[long briar]

it's harder to explain than to feel

[polar fern]

\blinks\

[leaden gale]

Like the top cover seemingly shifting?

[long briar]

if you move your mouse in a circular/jumping pattern you can feel the cursor drift from your mouse position

OH WAIT I forgot nvm

LTT did a test

[leaden gale]

Bro is speaking in tongues

[polar fern]

And that has what to do with desk pad fibers?

[long briar]

remember this?

[polar fern]

Show us on the desk pad where the drift touched you

[long briar]

it doesn't? they're two different complaints

[polar fern]

I have never noticed any issues

And I use two different mice on two different desk pads

[long briar]

yea that's to be expected

assuming you're not doing consistent patterns on a mousepad you're not gonna notice it at all

I don't in fps games, just osu

[lilac bear]

I swear if you said it was for Overwatch gameplay

[polar fern]

Maybe you have a weird batch or something

[long briar]

nah

it's barely noticeable in osu (happens only in very specific patterns) and not in fps at all

[lilac bear]

TBH I never knew "mouse drift" existed on deskpads until now

[long briar]

it's just a small nitpick

[polar fern]

It’s not a yes or no thing, I’m just saying it’s definitely a possibility

[vapid crown]

My deskpad has been fine too in the same spot

[long briar]

yea that kinda goes in line with my experience

[polar fern]

You know they make literally thousands of feet of this stuff at a time. It’s extremely possible that what you are experiencing is when the production process was near quality control rejection tolerances but still within spec

[long briar]

yea?

I also have felt much worse pads

[lilac bear]

^^^

[long briar]

so even if this is outside of "normal" behaviour it's still good

[lilac bear]

LTT deskpads are pog and there are definitely really bad ones to exist

[polar fern]

If you grew up back in the 1980s and 90s like I did, you would notice that at TV or electronics shop that no two plastic moulding pieces are the same, even if they are supposed to be identical. And they made TV sets back, then in batches of 5-8k at a time.

[long briar]

Majority of my life is in the 2000s

or at least what was "important" in it

same story really

and I'd know batch to batch variance

moulds wear out, that's why they have indicators

I'm just saying that the pad is definitely not perfect, but solid enough

the small cut that formed is far right and I have a large pad (1200mm x 700mm) so that doesn't affect me either

[polar fern]

You could see a TV set back enclosure go through several iterations across the product life-cycle as they changed added and removed features, but all they did was change part of the mould. They did not typically change the entire mould so some of these moulds could be used for 15 years and still be accurate because you’re just blowing ABS into a steel enclosure. However, you would slowly see slight variations in tolerance as the plastic mixture changed even seasonally. This could be the case as humidity and external weather cycled

[long briar]

well I wouldn't know. My first actual TV was a Sony rear projection one

all that mattered is that it was too heavy to lift alone

(I still have it, it's great for the basement where kids sometimes come over since there's no lcd panel to crack)

[hollow token]

Mouse pads are hardly relevant

A nice decoration more than a functional one

[polar fern]

Having high model Fidelity to the product design is ideal however, it is not really functionally possible to create thousands of the same thing and have them be visually identical, let alone on the molecular level. There will always be some room in the production process to make the end result slightly different.

[lilac bear]

mouse pad lore gets deep

[long briar]

uhm... no

mousepads make a big difference

[lilac bear]

but can clearly tell this person thinks "my bare wood desk is good enough for my mouse"

[hollow token]

I'm sorry what I said is difficult to digest

[lilac bear]

why are you like this

[long briar]

once you get into the semi high end pads or you get lucky with a random chinese pad then it's actually not bad

[hollow token]

I'm almost that person

[lilac bear]

you keep thinking everyone is offended

[hollow token]

If a mouse pad supports mouse glide, it's doing its job

[long briar]

It's not difficult to digest, it's inedible. Don't cook ever again.

[hollow token]

If you can tell me 4 number facts about your mousepad, you're clinically online

[lilac bear]

careful if you show any emotion you're a woke liberal in the eyes of this guy

[hollow token]

Height, depth, length, coefficient drag, glass composition (%)

[long briar]

1. It's large
2. it's a slower pad
3. It has a minor amount of drift in circular repeated patterns in Osu
4. It's not exactly durable

there you go

[hollow token]

This man touches grass

(He can't give me 4 number facts)

[long briar]

[hollow token]

If you can tell me the chemical composition of the surface of your mousepad, you stay inside too much

next thing you're telling me that audio devices as long as they make sound all sound the same

[hollow token]

Well no

[lilac bear]

HE WOULD

he really would

[hollow token]

Headphones actually have elements to work with

A mousepad is just...a slip

[lilac bear]

explain 4 elements to me and you're clinically online

[long briar]

I highly doubt there's any glass fibres in the top layer, probably some sort of Nylon blend because of its stretch and weave pattern

[hollow token]

What's your fursona

[lilac bear]

bold question for a pokemon pfp

https://tenor.com/view/linus-ltt-linus-tech-tips-gif-7711731185338811151

[long briar]

Height is 70cm, width is 120cm, depth is 0.35cm, dynamic coefficient I have no clue since it would change depending on how hard I press the mouse, glass composition is definitely 0

There you go happy?

[hollow token]

Nah if you don't have standard mouse pressure you definitely go outside

[long briar]

Oh and you can tell glass composition is 0 because of a few factors: mousepads with glass infused into the fibres often have a dry texture and a scratchier sound. And definitely are not used in a standard nylon weave pattern

[lilac bear]

but that is a thing though

people press their mouse at different pressures

just like a keyboard

[long briar]

I do have for osu, but that's different than from any other game, and changes again when I'm using my mx master for cad

[hollow token]

Go outside

[long briar]

I go outside every day, I have a life

quesito really struggling at the idea of "touching grass"

[long briar]

Mousepads make a difference.

[hollow token]

They don't

[long briar]

The objective data tells you that you're wrong, you know you're probably wrong

whether it would matter is a different question

and in that case, for you it probably doesn't matter.

🤔

[long briar]

well I'm not

[long briar]

I don't need exaggerations to make a point

the main advantage of using a deskpad over a normal mousepad for me is actually that I can use 50cm+ of mousing space

and ltt happens to be the cheapest for that too

[hollow token]

Well it's good you found something that works for you. Just don't inflate the improvement some mousepads have over others

[long briar]

I didn't?

[hollow token]

You keep telling me that?

Maybe we're not understanding each other

[lilac bear]

quesito has that "the woke is angry at me" energy

[long briar]

I literally said if you get a good pad, or get lucky with a cheap chinese pad (I have, with an anime mousepad lool) they'll do you just fine?

[hollow token]

A mousepad is better than no mousepad, but each mousepad is equally, marginally, the same

[long briar]

for most people, as long as the mousepad doesn't slip around (bottomm rubber is good) then it's good enough

[hollow token]

Yeah we must've misunderstood each other all this time looool

[long briar]

wait have you seen osu gameplay before

[lilac bear]

basically that, if it's a silicone and fabric mat then you are good to go

[manic torrent]

lol "all mousepads are the same" bro why are you even here

[long briar]

It's legit the ONLY practical use for a mousepad with low drift

[hollow token]

I'm a tech enthusiast

[lilac bear]

he is a "all tech is the same" kinda guy

"if it can run DOOM then it is good enough for me"

[hollow token]

If you get technical with a mousepad, please go outside

[long briar]

nono he's more or less saying that for most people all pads will perform the same and most improvements are placebo and for all I know, it could be true

most people don't even care what mouse they use

or notice that 60hz feels stuttery compared to anything higher

in which case, his argument holds true

[lilac bear]

me who looked at the jitter rate of my mouse before buying

[manic torrent]

I mean yeah, most people are oblivious to everything

[long briar]

Yep.

[lilac bear]

I bet you don't even overclock your RAM 😠

[manic torrent]

but at the very least, a mouse pad/mat is an aesthetic choice

[long briar]

which he did say

He was specifically targeting me earlier because I said I felt some drift in the ltt mousepad while playing osu

[manic torrent]

and a material that you touch directly

Mission accomplished you’ve offended the Discord. You’re finally free

[long briar]

it's a compound word, which if you didn't know is two words put into one.

[lilac bear]

I am crying ONTO my DESKPAD are you happy 😭

[olive stump]

I’m crying liberal tears rn

[long briar]

guys arguing politics is like a dick swinging contest

[polar fern]

Headdeskpad

[long briar]

it makes you all sound stupid

[olive stump]

I’m arguing bread in the bread themed Discord

[long briar]

Imagine using steam

[polar fern]

Bread deakpad when

[lilac bear]

ew Steam

[olive stump]

Yooooooo

[lilac bear]

imagine it was textured like bread

[manic torrent]

man you played a lot of games. sounds like a NEET

[long briar]

wait I need this

[lilac bear]

the woke liberals just made a new deskpad

[olive stump]

The woke liberal agenda of new deskpads

[polar fern]

The desk pad will look like a normal desk pad, but it will have things that look and feel like breadcrumbs on them, but you will never be able to wipe them off 🤣

[long briar]

wait this was on ltt reddit

while searching for "bread mousepad"

[hollow token]

Mmm tortilla

[long briar]

that looks like a horror to use

and I'm down

[polar fern]

Yes

It’s a wheat flour flatbread

[lilac bear]

"but explain 4 things about this bread deskpad that set it apart from other deskpads"

[long briar]

bread, tan, brown, yellow

[manic torrent]

1. it's bread
   2-4) it's bread

[long briar]

when was the last time you saw a tan mousepad that wasn't hand grime?

[lilac bear]

hand grime from Linus himself

[polar fern]

Limited edition desk pads that were used in the temperature control chamber thingy

[olive stump]

I have a hot take, the LTT deskpad isn't the nicest deskpad I own

[polar fern]

Blasphemy

[olive stump]

I have one with a better finish on top that's a bit more water resistent

[polar fern]

Ok, duck

[hollow token]

How many mousepads do you own

[lilac bear]

Height, depth, length, coefficient drag, glass composition (%)

[olive stump]

5

[shut lichen]

but is the rubbery foam a linus approved thickness?

[long briar]

Linus like 3.5mm thick

[olive stump]

Same 3mm thickness of other mats but tbh I kinda prefer that?

[lilac bear]

I do love me those thick rubber deskpads

[polar fern]

Thiccness

[olive stump]

Some folks prefer it, I kinda prefer the default thicccccness

[lilac bear]

juicy thicc squishy rubber

[long briar]

Linus likes it slightly thiccer

[shut lichen]

so not a linus approved thickness, because the linus approved thickness is 3.5mm

[polar fern]

3 inch thick foam, 1 inch of fabric.

[long briar]

unfortunately that means ltt pad has a small amount of drift

[olive stump]

Yeah I know, the thicness isn't a dealbreaker to me

[lilac bear]

wait so, mat thickness applies more drift?

[gleaming harbor]

the glass mousepad is smooth for wireless mouse but how you clean that
you don't???

[lilac bear]

I would use water and a cloth personally

[long briar]

with the top layer being flexible I believe so

a thinner pad would sacrifice comfort for performance

but ltt tried to balance both with emphasis on comfort

[olive stump]

https://mousemods.com/products/sakura Finally found it

[long briar]

thicker pads are also generally slower

[shut lichen]

idk about you, but even my pretty heavy M65 is nowhere near heavy enough to press into the pad lol

[long briar]

ofc not

[olive stump]

YEAH SO, the reason I bought this up is bc I like this over the ltt one, but also bc of the water resistant top on this, it feels a bit more coarse, like it's covered in a fine coating of breadcrumbs

[long briar]

it doesn't take much distance to cause drift

and ltt still handles it really well

[olive stump]

Only took 15 minutes to get to the point I originally wanted to make 😂

[lilac bear]

breadcrumbs you say

[long briar]

Welcome to ltt

[olive stump]

It's topper is defs more coarse, idk why I like that texture more?

[manic torrent]

almost like it's preference

[olive stump]

Oh it's 100% my preference, but idk why it is beyond ✨feeling✨

[abstract saddle]

is letting keycaps (membrane keyboard keycaps in this case) soak in soap and water overnight a good way to clean them if i don't feel like scrubbing them with something like a toothbrush? reason is because i don't feel like going into that level of effort for a rando membrane keyboard vs a good mech one

[thick oyster]

banged out a blog post lets gooo

[gleaming ginkgo]

What to do with extra case fans? Should I simply replace my stock ones?

[abstract saddle]

extra as in what? like you case fans you liked but the case you bought came with generic black ones?

[gleaming ginkgo]

I bought prizm 120 argb, and I bought 5 fans because they were cheap

My case is antec nx300

[abstract saddle]

if it come with generic fans then sure replace them

[gleaming ginkgo]

They aren't exactly generic because they are also made by antec

[abstract saddle]

oh, looking up the case, it's an rgb fan thats included

not sure then

[gleaming ginkgo]

I am wondering if the fans I bought are better than the stock ones

[near yoke]

Heeey

[tardy terrace]

uh, ok.

hi

[ruby bloom]

Who remembers when linus got hacked and denis has to censor naked Linus

🍓

[long briar]

there are some performance impacts that mousepads provide

well, the only real impact is drift

[wise tundra]

Probably able to buy my first car in March. Was thinking about that it would be cool to replace the radio and AC controls with a Raspberry Pi

I found this FM addon for RasPi so I could also listen to radio

Could probably just connect the old AC wires to the GPIO pins using transistors.

[long briar]

Ac controls I wouldn't trust to an rpi

radio sure ig

[wise tundra]

Why no?

[manic torrent]

https://bluewavestudio.io/shop/openauto-pro-car-head-unit-solution/

[wise tundra]

I'm way too cheap to pay for that

Also I don't want a display

I mean I do want a display but a 14 segment

14 segment displays are like 2€ for 5pcs including shipping

Oh wait no that was 7 segment

[manic torrent]

Why use a pi to do something that simple. Arduino would be better.

I have my extra car stuff on a dedicated can bus and have multiple arduinos interfacing to it.

[graceful burrow]

Im a pi Pico shill

[fierce moth]

Just finished modding my gbc 😎

[fierce moth]

So many great uses

I just want a next gen pico for better hardware mods

[graceful burrow]

I have a feeling they're working on it

[fierce moth]

For sure

Especially after the rp1 is sorta like a pico

And custom silicon is getting big at rpi foundation

[graceful burrow]

They're first chip did really really well
As much as I hate the short supply and basically scalping, I love what they're doin as a company

They're definitely a huge part responsible for a lot of people getting more into the diy side of electronics

[formal anchor]

Bread

[fierce moth]

And a great thing even with the short supply the rp2040/pico was pretty much always in stock

[graceful burrow]

I got too many damn picos

Time for bread

[prime tree]

I still dont get bread..
