[agile thistle]

what channel would i go to with help installing tails on a usb?

[stoic beacon]

Google first, then YouTube, then a forum if that doesn't answer your questions...this is more of a short question and answer space

[agile thistle]

its prolly a simple fix

[ocean narwhal]

p=4.547473508864641e-13

0.5 ^ 41

[supple pawn]

I imagine the tails website has some basic instructions on how to install it?

[ocean narwhal]

basically one in 2.2 trillion

when did american become a race?

[cunning pier]

hello I'm in!

[ripe relic]

should I upgrade to a 4080 from a 3080?

[waxen verge]

Mostly a joke, don't take it serious

[cunning pier]

linux nvidia legacy drivers, not open sourced yet?

[stable storm]

Boy people really butt hurt about how much the lux bag is 😂

[velvet marsh]

No

granted you could say rednecks are almost a different race

[candid glacier]

hi

[cinder wing]

Is my birthday soon.. I thinking of buying an ipad pro m2.. But its lots of money. I feel like i can devide 1500 euros into like 2/3 usefull cool gadgets as a student/gamer. Any recommendations? zzzz

[full fossil]

hi!

[solemn elk]

did linus and jake-

[gilded forge]

I... what the fuck is that aspect ratio

[eager notch]

Need more WAAAHHMM

[lilac bear]

Z Fold 5 held horizontally?

[solemn elk]

download it

[vapid zephyr]

That's.. a desktop window

[vapid zephyr]

Likely an obs recording of a smaller window, the ratio is 0.89:1

[lilac bear]

Windows on ARM exists

[vapid zephyr]

.. On a Samsung phone

Stop with your bullshit, thank you

[lilac bear]

you can root those but you just lose the ability to go back

and probably most banking apps

[chrome vector]

the fuck you doing?

[vapid zephyr]

Is it so hard to admit you didn't think it was a desktop window, jesus christ

[gilded forge]

the song is seidh by heilung (they're a real band) but I can't find the actual song as a release anywhere. it seems to have been made as a song FOR Hellblade 2

[lilac bear]

it is something that can happen though

[vapid zephyr]

What the fuck are those overcomplicated excuses to justify a simple oversight

[eager notch]

Editing a 4k video with some effects in premiere

[dull granite]

hmm yes
i should do charity work for a multimillion dollar corporation

[chrome vector]

[chrome vector]

Oof. I can't wait to see how my PC fairs when I finally start editing stuff. It's been a long time.

[vapid zephyr]

And how many people do you know that even thought of this, five head

[rustic holly]

The collab video was great.

[gilded forge]

*all banking apps. but banking apps rarely work like they're supposed to to begin with.

[eager notch]

If I was doing this on my desktop, it wouldn't be as obnoxious since it has a 12 core CPU and 64 gigs of ram as well as a faster GPU though I could hook up a better GPU to my laptop if I wanted

[chrome vector]

Why are you doing it on your laptop then? Or are you not home or something?

If electro has taught me anything, only get electrocuted by one source of electricity at a time, or you'll soon find yourself being an electricity monster.

[eager notch]

I had to disconnect my desktop to perform some maintenance on it and I've been too lazy to get it put back together and running an external GPU has been enough for my laptop to be running premiere just fine considering it's a 6 core CPU and 32 gigs of ram with a 1660 ti hooked up over thunderbolt

[chrome vector]

Definitely could be worse

I'd try to grt your desktop back up and running, though

so worth it

[velvet tiger]

Cacheless ssd moment

[winged ferry]

i am getting a samsung 980 pro 1tb ssd for Christmas and it will be my new boot drive. what is everything i need to know to set it up and put windows on it

i have no idea what im doing so please tell me every single thing i will need to know

[chrome vector]

And this is why I don't even consider buying an SSD unless the manufacturer specifically tells me if they have a cache or not. So much easier to just buy a fucking Samsung.

[ionic skiff]

why did it do that

[leaden gale]

Looks like DRAM cacheless AND no HMB support

[chrome vector]

Unfortunately, I don't think any 2242 or 2230 SSDs come with a dram cache.

[velvet tiger]

yep it's kinda hot garbage. it's just for random files i have to copy arround

[chrome vector]

explain

[velvet tiger]

I love the ssds i have in my laptop. 2 gb/s speeds go wild

[leaden gale]

If an NVMe SSD supports Host Memory Buffer, it can basically cheat its way out of the downsides of lacking an onboard DRAM cache

[chrome vector]

It's crazy how much better SSDs are

[leaden gale]

Because it can then allocate a portion of system RAM to use as a pseudo-DRAM cache

[chrome vector]

I will have to look into that later, sounds cool.

[velvet tiger]

i mean i have 2 samsungs in my laptop. a 980 pro and a random one it came with the laptop

They chilling

[leaden gale]

Stuff like this is denoted in the Borecraft SSD spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B27_j9NDPU3cNlj2HKcrfpJKHkOf-Oi1DbuuQva2gT4/edit#gid=0

[chrome vector]

I have way too many SSDs. Two 980 pros and two 970 Evo Plus in my desktop. A 2Tb 2230 Seagate (with adapter to make it 2242) for my Lenovo Legion Go. I have a 970 Evo Plus still in the box that I need to put in my newer laptop. Then I have another 970 Evo in my old laptop. Then I have the random 256gb that came with my old laptop, and whatever is in my playstation that I'll replace later if I need to.

I kinda have a lot of SSDs right now.

Oh, and the 512gb 2242 SSD that came with my Lenovo legion go

Thank god I have some of those NVME external drive holder things

I can at least still use these other SSDs just sitting around if I want to

but I already have a 2Tb Kingston external SSD, so I don't really need it at the moment

I am kinda on some stupid shit

[chrome vector]

Thanks!

[leaden gale]

Glad to be of service 😄

[velvet tiger]

ssds are way too nice.

i have a kioxia exceria pro in my ps5

[chrome vector]

I honestly don't know if I am going to replace the one in my PS5 or not, I really don't know if I am going to need to. We'll see. If it was the main thing I played on I would need to, but it isn't so I really don't care too much right now.

At least Sony lets you easily change it. Fucking Microsoft

[velvet tiger]

lmfao so true. not to mention the format as well

[chrome vector]

Tech specs get stupid, man. Especially when manufacturers purposefully don't tell you some things. Shit gets annoying when you're researching things.

[waxen verge]

So true

I genuinely hate it

[velvet tiger]

all i hope is that asus decides to update the bios for my laptop. I'm still waiting for the vulnerability update. Idk if they ever will

[leaden gale]

My favorite part of all this is looking up official datasheets for products only to find they didn't include the info there either, forcing me to go find said details from independent reviewers who actually give a shit

And now just referencing big community spreadsheets that make it as easy as they reasonably can

[chrome vector]

@leaden gale It's really stupid. Want to know what type of die this ram uses? Too bad. Want to know if this SSD had a dram cache? Lol get fucked. Our fan bearings? Sunshine and rainbows.

don't worry, our PSU has jApAnEsE caPaCitOrs, though

[leaden gale]

Manufacturers have grown far too comfortable living in a world where most customers are not looking for these fine details, so "who cares if we don't detail this in the datasheet?"

[chrome vector]

Either that, or they specifically want to hide it, just so they don't have to admit that their product maybe isn't worth it, let alone the best.

[leaden gale]

[waxen verge]

It only gets worse as the product gets cheaper... 😔

[chrome vector]

You wouldn't know it from my stupid OP first PC build, but I am all for saving money where you can. That being said, the more I learn about tech and scummy shit manufacturers pull, the more I would rather spend a little more and know what I'm getting than buy cheap and flip a fucking coin.

It really does depend on the area, to be fair, but still. I would rather buy a Samsung SSD and know I am getting a DRAM cache than go with another manufacturer and play the guessing game on whether this specific model of theirs has one or not.

[waxen verge]

Same belief tbh. I'd rather pay a little more to assure the product's good than to buy something cheap and find out where the cut the corners

[ionic abyss]

so to get better audio quality i need $500 cable lifters right

[lilac bear]

me when buying RAM

they only list the GB and none of the other shit

[chrome vector]

You know what really grinds my fucking gears, guys? This technically isn't manufacturers hiding something, however.

With CoolerMaster new Sickleflow fan design, they made three sizes off the bat: 120mm, 140mm, and 200mm. As you may or may not know, CoolerMaster is one of the few companies that still supports 200mm fans in their cases. My case (HAF 500) can have up to four 200mm fans, two in the top, two in the bottom.

Point is, when they made their 120mm fans and their 140mm ARGB PWM fans, they went with rifled bearings. Seems reasonable!

Well you know what they decided to fucking do? For their 200mm fans, in the same series, with the same design, they fucking decided to put fucking sleeve bearings in their 200mm fans instead. As you may know, sleeve bearings aren't great horizontally, they're most meant for vertical use.

Thanks CoolerMaster, you fucking assholes. I am probably going to end up replacing these fans with ThermalTake's proprietary bullshit or some weird small company (if I can find them again).

Fucking assholes.

[ionic abyss]

so i need cable lifter usb audio filters and power filtering outlets?

lol

[acoustic pond]

only thing I read in that wall of text was fucking assholes lmao

[waxen verge]

Quite the rant, although it's understandable. What they did was just garbage.

Jeez.

[chrome vector]

That's the gist. Fucking Cooler Master

[acoustic pond]

so instead of cooler master it should be asshole master? @chrome vector actually no that might be taken the wrong way

[chrome vector]

They decided that the 200mm fans weren't just going to get different bearings, they were going to get the most garbage bearings. Fucking CM

[acoustic pond]

Cooler Master, more like Shit master am I right?

[velvet tiger]

@chrome vector

When I changed ssds

[waxen verge]

All to save just a bit of money...

[acoustic pond]

feels like its always the end goal, how much can we save money

[chrome vector]

remember to flick the tongue

[acoustic pond]

and make suggestive gestures with my fingers?

[long briar]

how do you do that without looking like a dumbass?

[chrome vector]

Shit I gotta test my SSDs to on Crystal Disk Mark again. I had to do a fresh install of Windows recently, I lost my screenshots.

[acoustic pond]

thats the whole point, you dont

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-blue-cat-clues-episode103-dumb-lover-pinch-cheek-gif-16217599

[velvet tiger]

My 980 pro is doing 6.8gb/s on read and 5gb/s on write

Or smthn like that

It’s 2 am and I’m restoring a acronis image to a pc dude

[chrome vector]

I just want one Spider-Man comic or movie where Spidey quips to Norman, "Goblin? You Goblin deez nuts"

[velvet tiger]

Eta is 40 min

I’m just gonna leave this crap on lol

[acoustic pond]

if spiderman is so great why did peter let his uncle ben die

[velvet tiger]

A funny thing is that, if I use my Ethernet cable on my laptop on steam I only get 120 mb/s. But if I use Wi-Fi I can get 700mb/s lmao

[long briar]

what router/switch

[acoustic pond]

wtf are you using, cat4 or something ? lol

[long briar]

check if it's fast ethernet

[velvet tiger]

Idk, but it has a 2.5 gb port and it has Wi-Fi 6. It’s from my isp. In my room I have a 1gb switch. And cable is cat 5e

Not gonna stress with it much tho, I don’t come to Portugal that often so ain’t worth my time lol

[acoustic pond]

oh yea hows things going in Portugal?

[velvet tiger]

Everything’s alright, just came to visit my family for the holidays

[acoustic pond]

bet

[velvet tiger]

Gigabit fiber here is cheap dude. Like it’s 60 smthn eur. In Belgium I pay 78 for gigabit coaxial lmao

[hard stirrup]

i think my pc has decent download speed (internet btw)

[velvet tiger]

It ain’t bad but it has more latency

Here’s mine on Wi-Fi lmao

this laptop legit makes 0 sense

[hard stirrup]

yeah im on a z790 gigabyte wifi card

so mine does make sense but my wifi is pretty slow

[velvet tiger]

If it's overclocked it works perfectly fine. if i use a "silent" preset this has it BSODS 😭

[hard stirrup]

i upgraded from a 3050 laptop to a 4090 desktop, it was a pretty small upgrade tbh, might have even been a downgrade

[velvet tiger]

"small"

[hard stirrup]

yep

and you know what im gonna do with my 4090?

[velvet tiger]

I mean, my laptop has more gpu power than my desktop i have here in portugal lmao

[hard stirrup]

play overwatch on a 24 inch 1080p 60hz monitor from 2006

[velvet tiger]

🤷‍♂️

[hard stirrup]

(until i get a new one)

[graceful lark]

Which one?

[velvet tiger]

Bro's balling but forgot the monitor 😭

[graceful lark]

…with that monitor I think it might have been

[hard stirrup]

i broke my monitor the other day because i dropped my headphones on top of my monitor and it cracked

[velvet tiger]

i have a 27 inch 240hz LG in belgium

[graceful lark]

Oh no

[velvet tiger]

Ouch.

[hard stirrup]

so im sad

my old one was a 1440p 144hz dell from 2015

the s2716dg was my old one

very very overpriced but it lasted forever

[velvet tiger]

i was thinking of upgrading my laptop's screen. i can put a 165hz* 1440p screen on this

[graceful lark]

I have the same one (basically) but I’m probably getting one of the new Alienware QD-OLEDs

Depends on pricing, I’m sending this 27” WOLED back though bc I don’t like it enough

[hard stirrup]

the monitor im using rn is the acer k242HYL

[velvet tiger]

oled's hella expensive for me lol. Mine's ips

[hard stirrup]

very sad, i know

my poor pc its like a supercar using the wheels off a horse carriage

[velvet tiger]

60hz hurts my eyes man. I'm way too used to high refresh rates

[hard stirrup]

me2

i was using this one as a secondary to watch stuff while i game

still mostly overwatch though

[graceful lark]

Wow I’ve spent too much time in the monitors Discord, as soon as I heard LG 27” 1440p240 I was like “oh yeah they have the OLED one, of course”

[hard stirrup]

(i am a sad, sad creature)

[velvet tiger]

nah you just had a very unfortunate event fr fr

[graceful lark]

Nah Overwatch is great, I’ve been using it to work out my new monitor

[hard stirrup]

i have not bought a game since sea of thieves

[graceful lark]

Can’t wait for the 1440p360 OLED, which is what I’ll get as long as it’s $999 or less

[hard stirrup]

its a great game but people hate it because idk

honestly i think people should go back to hating on valorant

[graceful lark]

I’ve heard that but it’s free and I get to play with my friend, which is all I really care about

I like it personally

[hard stirrup]

thats a great reason

if any game deserves hate rn its valorant

[velvet tiger]

i enjoy valorant. Just for the reaction times lol

[graceful lark]

Yeah I wish I liked gaming by myself but I just don’t, I only like playing with my friends

Gotta try Valorant, as of rn none of my friends play it so I’ve never tried it

[hard stirrup]

the community sucks, rng bullets, overpriced non tradeable skins,

[graceful lark]

Oof okay maybe not

[velvet tiger]

very true points

[hard stirrup]

the worst of it is the lack of servers though

[velvet tiger]

They've been adding more and more actually

[graceful lark]

Guess I’m sticking to Overwatch

[hard stirrup]

i invested a couple hundred hours into the game but in all honestly it really isnt fun

[graceful lark]

I would have said “Overwatch and CoD” but Activision just destroyed Warzone and released a DLC pack for full price so I’m done with that one

[hard stirrup]

if you want to play a team oriented fps game, just play cs2

[velvet tiger]

wait pika, you said you're a sad creature, watch this

[hard stirrup]

as someone who has played way more valorant than cs

[graceful lark]

Eh Overwatch has been scratching that itch for me right now, I’ve seen CS2 but idk the gunplay doesn’t really do it for me, I don’t like the movement in that game

[hard stirrup]

the reason i like overwatch so much is because it doesnt feel boring even if you lose

[velvet tiger]

(I'm even more sad)

[graceful lark]

I’m fine with playing soldier 76 even if I lose 75% of my games and get carried hard by my support friend lmao

[hard stirrup]

but for valorant you just die and then wait 5 minutes for the round to end

[graceful lark]

I have fun and that’s what matters

[graceful lark]

I agree

[hard stirrup]

i main soldier and carry my friend who sucks at the game

[velvet tiger]

i play rein and i just solo shatter people

[graceful lark]

Oh heck yeah, from one of the friends that gets carried, thank u for all u do lmao

[hard stirrup]

yeah

he went from hating it to asking me to play

[graceful lark]

My friend mains Moira I’m pretty sure and she’s really good, plus she just got one of Alienware’s gigantic ultrawides so she sees everything lol

[velvet tiger]

How the tables have turned

[hard stirrup]

oh yeah

[graceful lark]

It’s such a fun game!

[velvet tiger]

i played way too much ow man

[hard stirrup]

moira is pretty fun to play but when i get moiras on my team they tend to suck

[graceful lark]

Next step: getting her to upgrade off a 6650XT at 3840x1600

[hard stirrup]

ive played over 400 hours in 6 months

my brain hury

hurt

[graceful lark]

Hopefully you get her, she’s wild with Moira

[velvet tiger]

i have 1k hours almost lol. I stopped playing it because most of my friends stopped playing it

[graceful lark]

Oh wow that’s a while

[hard stirrup]

i totally would too but i just started playing a few months ago

[velvet tiger]

this is worse.

[graceful lark]

Ah man I’m so sorry to say this but I love Siege

[velvet tiger]

(this is one of my 3 accounts btw)

[graceful lark]

Wow that’s a while

I’m also not very good at the game but man is it fun

[velvet tiger]

in siege, all accounts combined plus console i have almost 4k hours

(I'm extremly sad)

[graceful lark]

Oh wow

[velvet tiger]

wait imma yeet a pic of my laptop

[graceful lark]

Nice

I’ve never been a gaming laptop kind of person

Looks good tho

[velvet tiger]

the size of the battery is laughable

[hard stirrup]

My laptop

[graceful lark]

Specs?

[hard stirrup]

13900k 4090 32 ddr5

[velvet tiger]

looks hella portable

[graceful lark]

Nice

I’ve been thinking about upgrading but I just can’t justify it

[velvet tiger]

that's my pc from here

3700x with a 1660s

[graceful lark]

Not bad

[velvet tiger]

yeah it just needs a better gpu lol

smthn like a 4070

and a watercooler for sure

[graceful lark]

Idk if this is in your price range but 7900XTX is great

[velvet tiger]

i'll have to see, i'm not thinking of upgrading it anytime soon.

[graceful lark]

Makes sense, I want to upgrade but I just can’t justify it since I’m getting the performance I want

[velvet tiger]

when i do, it's gonna be a big overhaul lol

[graceful lark]

Maybe I could get a 5800X3D idk… the CPU is a bit lacking especially since I’m about to start trying to push 360hz

[chrome vector]

Because he was looking out for number 1.

[velvet tiger]

case looks great tho. This is made of stainless steel

The dad of my ex had a high end asf pc, he had 2 4090's with a x299 sage and a 10980XE

[graceful lark]

It’s always the exes dads that have the nice stuff huh

[velvet tiger]

Why did he get 2 4090's? just because he can

[velvet tiger]

i mean, i'd do the same lol. just with one gpu. 2 is just silly

i don't need 2 lol

[graceful lark]

Eh depends on what he was doing with it but yeah my ex’s dad had some pretty nice stuff too

What did he do?

[velvet tiger]

he literally used it to print pictures. Max he would do is play pubg lol

[graceful lark]

Lolololol that’s so funny

[velvet tiger]

it hurts my soul to know that he never used the full power that thing has to offer

[chrome vector]

There, I retested my C and D drive, which is a 980 Pro and a 970 Evo (both 2tb). I will have to test my other 980 and 970 later.

I like to screenshot my test results. I just lost my other ones because I don't back it up and had to fresh install windows.

[graceful lark]

Gtg y’all see ya

[velvet tiger]

cya foof

[velvet tiger]

Hang on i'll bench mine

i have a bunch of stuff running in the background asw btw, namely spotify

not half bad, on the ps5 this thing did hit the 7gb/s

[lone sinew]

[velvet tiger]

Can you tell when i hit it with the benchmark? lol

[gilded forge]

thats a weird ssd enclosure for a laptop

[velvet tiger]

it's the only one they had in the store here. works fine

[gilded forge]

whats the specs of that thing? bc there's two fans and a whole lot of copper

[wheat karma]

We should boycott activision until they remove SBMM

[gilded forge]

...

theyre used to it

theyve been boycotted so many times before that it doesnt even phase them now

[covert tree]

anybody know how to install tiny10 onto a flash drive (not making a bootable image, but like installing the full version onto the flash drive)

[gilded forge]

no

the wholw thing is called Windows To Go, and i believe is only available onv the Education and Enterprise editions of Windows

but a bootable image can be made with the Tiny10 ISO and Rufus/Balena Etcher

[covert tree]

i used rufus for the boot stuff and moved the iso and the boot stuff to one partition

then made another partition for installing tiny10

[chrome vector]

oof

My SSDs got pretty damn hot when I did the OCCT full power test for an hour

[covert tree]

it boots to the install but it isnt able to install to the secondary partition

[chrome vector]

like, almost too hot. My PC tower was hot to the touch because of how much power was going through it. It was like a nuclear reactor

[timid brook]

is ther a chanale for cable management ?

[velvet tiger]

This has a 6800H with a rtx3070 (laptop)

esp. considering its all contained to one thing

[timid brook]

thanks that made my day a bitt better

[silk island]

yes its very very messy but like, i think there's a reason your cables are arranged like that

[vapid smelt]

3/10 only one "monitor" and a ps5

[timid brook]

2 days of work well spent i guess caus i have ben thinking it looks like crap from a cable management side

[vapid smelt]

what are in the gifts?

[timid brook]

that monitor is a 50 inch 4k tv with hdr 10

[timid brook]

thows are clenex boxes

[vapid smelt]

[carmine stirrup]

I hear you on that

[devout oar]

Our national debt is bad enough! We don't need $40 trillion more from the US added to it.

[timid brook]

that wood be the end of canada

Spot on, that matches my Samsung 980 Pro 2TB. on the left.

[silk island]

portable gaming center if i had to guess lol

[silk island]

i didn't know autism could affect one's ability to learn to spell though; i thought it was mostly dyslexia and stuff that impaired one's ability to read/write

[vapid smelt]

i got dyslexia

[timid brook]

im trying to kep the wiers off the floor and the tv had lots of space to stick things to so it mad it easer to put things on the back of the tv and the tv mount

[silk island]

wires* :3

none of telus's plans even offer that low of speeds

[timid brook]

[smoky bane]

[vapid smelt]

[timid brook]

[smoky bane]

The fastest internet plan I've got is using my neighbor's 🗿

[vapid smelt]

10 Gbps symmetrical uncapped

[silk island]

ok but thats for enterprise internet

at least it looks like it

[vapid smelt]

nope

[silk island]

cuz i've never heard of those ISPs in my life

[vapid smelt]

[timid brook]

[smoky bane]

Soooooo where is the hand I can squeeze juice out of?

[silk island]

ok but like 3 gigabit is not slow

and no consumer devices even support 10 gigabit

[vapid smelt]

langley is a nerd

[silk island]

ive seen 5/10 gigabit ethernet jacks on certain motherboards but they were absurdly expensive, mostly limited to only the most high end of boards

[vapid smelt]

some am4 x570 support 10 gigabit and z590

[silk island]

mate im not american

[vapid smelt]

sucks to be you

[timid brook]

and i mean like 50+ in under 5 minits

[old yacht]

not a real province

[silk island]

that..just doesn't happen

[vapid smelt]

useless things

[silk island]

duolingo does not send that many notifs in that short of a time period

[timid brook]

i think it was buged or somthing

[static fable]

just uncapped usage, or priority in peak times?

[chrome vector]

I'm getting about this on my computer & phone. I think I've gotten faster, but it's been awhile and I've lost the scree shots. Backing them up this time.

[silk island]

chicago go brrrrrr

i know google fiber offers up to 8 gigabit on consumer lines

[static fable]

useless things confirmed

[silk island]

in certain cities

[timid brook]

yall have steller internet 😢

[static fable]

bell does in ON, probabaly in BC too

[silk island]

i hate bell lol

it used to be owned by AT&T

[static fable]

and?

[silk island]

bell is a shitty company that has shitty employees that beg u to join bell lol

[timid brook]

bell can go bleep them selvs

[chrome vector]

Somehow I have better internet here in the middle of the fucking woods compared to back in the suburb near the city.

We have fiber here. I really need to hook my PC up to ethernet, I need to get a switch.

[devout oar]

That's what my house is using rn. My Dad will probably switch to Eastlink. We're in Nova Scotia and there aren't a lot of ISP options in the province.

[static fable]

eastlink were awful, they still use coax and it would go down constantly

[timid brook]

yo what the hell i jist got worned for using an f bomb how come u did not

[silk island]

rogers operates in NS

[timid brook]

also ass hols

[silk island]

ehhh id rather rogers than bell

[timid brook]

i will stick with satlight

[devout oar]

Well, prices are significantly better (like half the price) than Bell, and they're one of only three ISPs in my province so...

[silk island]

what province are u in

[vapid smelt]

fuck?

[timid brook]

sorry i dont like to tel people that

[silk island]

its just a province mate

[devout oar]

Found that out recently.

[silk island]

im not asking for ur city/town lol

[chrome vector]

Warship is a big fat bitch who will let us say somethings, but god forbid you say the correct title of Grand Theft Auto 4: The Ballad of [REDACTED] Tony

[static fable]

I'm in the same province, but since switching to bell from eastlink its been a blessing

[timid brook]

sorry wood just rather not

[chrome vector]

The words blocked here are weird

[silk island]

if i were u id just stick with bell

you'd get worse service switching to eastlink

(i hate bell but even i'd stick with bell if another isp had shitty service)

[devout oar]

Fair enough. It's nice that Eastlink gives you Eero mesh routers though. We have three Deco X55s so wouldn't be necessary for us, but still.

[chrome vector]

I'm going to become my own ISP and block Comcast

[silk island]

shaw used to operate here but it was acquired by Rogers earlier this year

so now its just rogers ignite internet

[timid brook]

atomic age internet

i wood switch to that

[silk island]

would* :3

[static fable]

was a nice touch for sure. I also got a free home pod from Bell but just the one and I run ubiquiti equipment so it's just in the box lol

[timid brook]

hold up what did i spell rong ?

[silk island]

its not wood its would lol

[timid brook]

how much wood coud a would chuck chuck if a wood chuck coud chuck would

the fact that that sounds right with 2 diferint spellinds proves englitch sucks balls

[low rain]

Everybody in my family bought eachother gifts but nobody wrapped them yet 😭😭😭

I’ve wrapped one thing and I was struggling so much

[timid brook]

rip

[silk island]

this is literally so stupid lol

[devout oar]

My Dad may not be able to afford it for much longer. Pricing is ridiculous with Bell Fibre 150.

He'll most likely have to switch to Eastlink or Rogers soon.

[silk island]

this doesn't seem that bad

"giga hub" LMAO

$63 USD/mo for 1.5 gigabit isn't awful

[devout oar]

We have the TV and home phone package with it.

[silk island]

wait, why home phone?!

tv sure, but home phone?! lol

[devout oar]

Some of us in the family don't have phones. They don't come cheap. Especially combined with a plan to have to pay for them.

In our particular situation, home phone is kind of a necessity.

[gilded quest]

That's pretty damn good

[vapid smelt]

boooo

[fierce moth]

man if i wanted gigabit i would have to pay 130 aud a month

[gilded quest]

$90

[silk island]

telus' 1.5 gigabit plan is the same

[devout oar]

This is what he's paying:

[silk island]

D:

[devout oar]

Plus $20 for the home phone.

[silk island]

he could prolly just cancel the home phone and save $20

[devout oar]

Again, you don't know my family situation. Lol. We kind of need it.

[silk island]

wait why do u need it

[devout oar]

Bc not all of us has phones, nor the funds to buy said phones and bills that go along with them.

Smartphone ownership is a financial burden.

[silk island]

what

how is it a financial burden

paying $20/mo for 12 months over like 5 years is more expensive than buying a cheap phone & a cheap data plan

[neon mesa]

That home phone costs significantly more than my data plan for 6 months

[silk island]

LMAO

[timid brook]

seckond hand phone & a pay as u go plan ?

[silk island]

europe?

[neon mesa]

Asia

[silk island]

oh damn

$240/yr for a home phone that only does calls is not worth it to me ;-;

[neon mesa]

Not worth for anyone at all

[devout oar]

@silk island Sorry. I should've specified. For my Dad. He was paying significantly more for the smartphones than that when we was paying for more that just his own.

[neon mesa]

Not to mention VoIP calls are a thing

[gilded quest]

If I owned a house I'd consider a home phone

[neon mesa]

My home used to have one
But nobody used it and we ditched it

[silk island]

we have a phone line thats active, we pay $30/mo for it and don't even use it so next month im calling telus and having it be canceled

[gilded quest]

Although it's really just a backup for emergency services

[timid brook]

u can also u a home phone line to send and reseve a fax

[gilded quest]

I should call my mother on the home phone for once tomorrow

[neon mesa]

Who tf still use fax

[silk island]

nobody uses a fax anymore LMAO

[gilded quest]

Every medical office...

[silk island]

aside from businesses

[silk island]

yes but what consumer would go out and actively buy a fax machine

[timid brook]

im stuck in the 90s ok

[devout oar]

Japanese business people probably.

[gilded quest]

My printer can also do fax?

[silk island]

the canada government still uses fax machines, what u on about lol

[timid brook]

my printer can achily do fax

[fierce moth]

typewriters are cool

[silk island]

ah right! i forgot printers could do fax

[devout oar]

True. Didn't think a(boot) that. Lol

[gilded quest]

Are you gonna tell me dedicated fax machines are still a thing

[timid brook]

yes i have a smith crona xl and i love it

[silk island]

Why would ANYONE pay that much for something that only does fax

[timid brook]

Just buy a modern home printer. Much cheaper fax machine. Lol

[gilded quest]

Business

[silk island]

w h a t?

not even i understand what that means

[timid brook]

u can get a used fax masheen at a goverment serplus auchon wair thr cell off ther old office equment

[silk island]

@devout oar your dad might be able to call bell's retention line and get a discount on your services

[timid brook]

[silk island]

some ppl with 'tism suffer in terms of language development

[devout oar]

$85 a month for first year atm, then $110 a month after that.

Just for Fibe 150

[silk island]

is that what you guys are paying? the $85?

[timid brook]

[timid brook]

[fierce moth]

swiftkey keyboard is the best autocorrect ive used

you could tell if im using my phone or desktop just by the way i type

[silk island]

for the 3 gigabit plan its $145/mo which isn't that great but at the same time its not absolute garbage either, $145 cad is $108 USD

[timid brook]

im prity shore my printer can also network print as well as dileup fax

[silk island]

we were already paying $135/mo so its only a $10 increase for triple the speed lol

[devout oar]

Well, guess I'll have to talk with my Dad about the internet again. He'll have to show me the bill.

[timid brook]

i know it has bot pairalell ans USB canecter on the back

both*

[silk island]

literally why tho

why are there three fuckin fees for 9-1-1

[timid brook]

:p

[timid brook]

also wtf how is a home line that expensive

[silk island]

don't ask me idk

[timid brook]

i dont rember my last bill but it was not that high

[devout oar]

People ain't buying them anymore. So they take advantage of the people who are with high pricing.

[timid brook]

ew why would somebody steal infrastructure cables

[alpine gale]

If the cables are copper, they can sell 'em for scrap. If they're glass fiber strands.... welp, they wasted a lot of time stealing something that's now inherantly worthless. 😄

[silk island]

they're home phone cables

[manic torrent]

because they are some combination of asshole/poor/stupid/easily led/desperate

[devout oar]

Was jusy about to say.

[silk island]

i do not believe home phones operate over fibre optic lol

[manic torrent]

they absolutely do - but not TYPICALLY last mile.

[silk island]

wait rly? i thought it was typically over copper or smtn

[alpine gale]

It can / does in some areas, but at the Node level. For example, our neighborhood still has homes wired with twisted pair from the home to the end of the street where it changes to Fiber.

[silk island]

ahhh

[manic torrent]

it's all digital these days

[silk island]

with our internet infrastructure its 100% fiber

[manic torrent]

I used to work at a telco

[silk island]

I mentioned it earlier but our internet is being upgraded to 3 gigabit tomorrow

[manic torrent]

My internet is a PALTRY 1gig service.

[keen shore]

for high strength industrial shoelaces and horselasso activities

[silk island]

so is ours, currently

[manic torrent]

... and honestly I have zero need for more, but hey

[silk island]

uwu

[mossy swan]

man

[full fossil]

Hey

[silk island]

i don't either but its $10 more than our existing plan so i said what the hell lol

[manic torrent]

yeah Australia doesn't believe in symmetric home connections, nor over 1gb

[silk island]

the 3gb plan i upgraded to is 3000 mbps download and upload lol

[silk island]

btw i remember u :o i went by a different name back then but we used to be friends lol

[keen shore]

youtube 1080p and lower are watered down bitrates now. So I suppose you can watch in higher definition

found out i'm autistic so that was fun to learn about

[devout oar]

I have an Aussie friend group. We've talked about our internet speeds a bit. The Internet/WIFi woes of your country are quite real. Lol

[silk island]

how have you been doing after all this time tho :o

[silk island]

idk how australian internet is so bad, it shouldn't be that hard to roll out fibre internet to 25 mil ppl

[devout oar]

Ik right?! Haha

[manic torrent]

it isn't, but then you get a government tha comes in and is all bitchy it wasn't there idea so they fuck it up for everyone

That all said - I have FTTP, and 1000/50

[silk island]

canada only has full fibre optic in like three provinces lol

and even then not all cities have access to fiber

[vapid smelt]

but only like 100k people live in canda 😛 /s

i wish i lived in a progressive province though ;-; alberta is just not it

I just don't wanna be shot for bein who I am tbh
Pretty simple ask

[silk island]

honestly when i went to LA i actually felt hella safe

[manic torrent]

LAPD use the special guide from family guy when deciding who to shoot

[devout oar]

Probably as a result of not going into alleyways or ghetto neighborhoods.

[silk island]

i hate alleyways, i stay away from them even in my own city

[full fossil]

But yeah, rampant ghettos, drug abuse, and homelessness is still a thing in Cali

[devout oar]

Smart move.

[silk island]

homelessness isn't exactly uncommon

its incredibly common across the world

and drug abuse, well...thats not exactly rare either

honestly you're going to see or hear about that sort of thing wherever you go

Arctic MX-4 and Grizzly in particular. Nice and smooth in my nostrils.

Noctua is where its at

[vapid smelt]

nature > buildings

[full fossil]

But sometimes I would snort liquid metal too. Hits harder.

[full fossil]

Ngl the amount of buildings makes it more like a dystopian society

[graceful burrow]

Bigfoot and kirashi have never been in the same room before
Something to think about

I ain't buying shit from Temu

[vapid smelt]

aliexpress

[vapid smelt]

a perfect case for a omelette

[full fossil]

Same shit but rebranded

You can't really complain either

This is how they advertise their cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fqrO73vn1k

[leaden gale]

But it only goes to 12 PM

What is blud waffling about

[full fossil]

And seeing people advertise cases like an iPhone ad/didn't do actual shit like this makes it an easy purchase.

"So why buy this case?"

"The ad shows them throwing $7000+ worth of phones to the wall with their case on"

[full fossil]

I may make a custom wallpaper

It's a blank black with the word 'Salami' in the middle

[vapid smelt]

we dont know if they kept out takes of the phone breaking or not

[full fossil]

Still more action than most case manufacturers

[vapid smelt]

yeah they even blur the phone ID so you cant tell if its the same phone they used for the whole test

[open pond]

Seems like X is down

[graceful burrow]

Good

[main stag]

[sinful torrent]

hey notion has like many alternativs none of it is perfect

1. anytype {has all of it and obsidiant features also but not fully opensource but open code?}
2. joplin {i dont like interface and not have many things and it lacks obsidiant thingys}
3. logseq {lacks every thing but easy and has obsidiant thingys lol only of it}

[graceful burrow]

i did a dive through trying to find open source note taking apps and ended up going with obsidian

you can block it in your firewall and it'll work fine since all the files are actually on your pc

no account needed

[sinful torrent]

ya i know

but like what about challenge

[graceful burrow]

[sinful torrent]

i need it because it all started because it

[graceful burrow]

of open source alternatives

[sinful torrent]

but not of notion

they lacks mostly everything

accept anytype?

[graceful burrow]

you're never going to find a like for like replacement

never

[sinful torrent]

it is local on pc first it has almost everything like notion

and obsiant graph view also

but it is half open source and half open code {idk what the hack it is}

[full fossil]

If you want to buy an iPad pro + pen, wait until Apple has a student discount month

You will get an iPad pro and a free pen with discount on top.

Free apple TV and music for 3 months

Source: I bought mine at that time

[cinder wing]

What the flip is that about?! How u know that wot.

oh. When was that

[full fossil]

4-5 months ago

At september I assume

[cinder wing]

Damn :{ Tempting. Allrdy get 150 euros off ish rn on website. But free pen would be nice.

[full fossil]

Yeah, September and ends at early October.

It's a 10% discount.

If you want to buy it, just make the unidays account (I used that in Taiwan) and tell the staff that you wanted to buy it with student discount.

They will hook you up.

[cinder wing]

Unidays? ur talking about getting the free pen with the ipad pro?. or for the 10% off discount

[full fossil]

Both

10% discount with free pen for students.

[cinder wing]

Real? U saying the deal from Apple it self from September? But Unidays site still gives me that offer? unlike apple?

[full fossil]

Apple requires you to use Unidays to verify that you are a student.

[cinder wing]

ooh ok. So I still would need to wait till that time.

[full fossil]

Yes

The deal is only for iPads, Mac Mini, Mac, and Macbooks

Macs will get free airpods along with the 3 month apple music and TV

ipad gets free pen along with 3 month apple music and TV

[cinder wing]

Pretty cool discount ngl. Tempting to wait for that zzz. But then I got no present on my birthday lol >,>

[full fossil]

Better wait then

I never got any present for my birthday anyways so no need to panic.

[cinder wing]
