Batteries and inverters for 12 hours can get pricey for occasional use like that. Generators can be a bit cheaper to buy, but you want to make sure to do regular maintenance (drain fuel if you're storing it for a while, avoid ethanol gas, test it occasionally).

[west yoke]

work, gaming... it needs to last at least 8h straight if that's possible

[polar fern]

Hmmmm

[agile siren]

need mic included in the headset?

[west yoke]

yup

[polar fern]

Logitech has a couple of pretty decent options for not very much money you should check those out

[restive lion]

yeah we just fire up our generator for the fridge and run extension cables around the house

[echo canopy]

I’m sorry I’m not 40 with a license for 25 years

[west yoke]

My cookies aren't being able to show me those :/

[harsh quartz]

Neither of the above, car insurance just fucking sucks

[agile siren]

i am 24, my insurance is $200

[manic torrent]

haha I know right 😄

[harsh quartz]

23 here

[vapid smelt]

my car also cost 300 a year to insure and is worth this many

[echo canopy]

I fucking know damit

[polar fern]

My entire family collectively pays probably $7000, total in car insurance across seven cars

Something is definitely wrong with your insurance plan

[echo canopy]

I was going off Kelly blue book. Real 2nd hand is closer to 3500 in its well kept condition

[restive lion]

this just in: different places have different insurance rates

and some of them suck balls

[polar fern]

Well, the thing wrong in that case is that it is a scam

[echo canopy]

This just in, the more cars on the insurance plan the cheaper it is

[agile siren]

thats about my car's worth aswell. 2001 skoda fabia with 150k km

[harsh quartz]

The cheaper it is per car*

[agile siren]

1.4l 44kW

[polar fern]

Anything over about $1200 and it’s not worth the return

[echo canopy]

That’s what I was implying yes

[harsh quartz]

Oof, European

[manic torrent]

phwoar, speed demon

[polar fern]

Wow, they’re still on their bullshit. That’s wild

They don’t share an insurance plan

[agile siren]

at 140 I feel like I am gonna take of

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, too bad I don’t have a fuckin choice, it’s not a “return” issue, it’s a “I have to have it to drive” issue

[restive lion]

you say this until you have to pay 300 thousand in hospital bills for someone else because you hit someone and didnt have insurance

[polar fern]

There’s no way for you to do just minimum coverage, or is that for minimum coverage?

[manic torrent]

I have a 2007 subaru tribeca with nothing interesting about it, and a 2004 subaru liberty (legacy) wagon with everything modified and 500hp ish

[echo canopy]

Wow, why the fuck are you reading my messages? Didn’t you block me?

[polar fern]

It’s illegal for people to drive here without insurance, so

And yes, people get pulled over and jailed and find all the time for driving illegally without insurance or license or such they are caught pretty quickly

[echo canopy]

it’s almost like you did nothing and just want to feel better about yourself

[manic torrent]

here we have injury insurance which is part of car registration, then property insurance which is seperate.

[polar fern]

Yep

[agile siren]

we have 2 kinds of insurance. one pays out the victim(mandatory), the other pays out the one who caused it

[polar fern]

Liability vs collision

[manic torrent]

that's normal 3rd party vs comprehensive

[polar fern]

A ton of people I know to cut cost have liability only so if they crash their car into a house with people in it, they are totally covered but their car is gone

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and then they won’t have a car to go to work

[polar fern]

Why anyone would want to drive to work is beyond me I’m sorry

[echo canopy]

That’s why you get a Kawasaki ninja 400

[restive lion]

because work is a 45 minute drive away?

[polar fern]

Cars are a nuisance and insurance is just another way of making sure it’s even more of a nuisance

[restive lion]

and it would take several hours by bus?

[echo canopy]

A hour by mostly highway for me

[polar fern]

That’s called car dependent infrastructure

[restive lion]

sure is, welcome to the current day and age

[manic torrent]

Then they don't make any money, then they get evicted.

[harsh quartz]

14 miles one way, half of which is interstate, with no bike lanes

[polar fern]

And how much of the interstate do you pay for when you use it?

[harsh quartz]

Yes, THAT is why we want to drive to work

[echo canopy]

Ima bike 30 miles to and fro work Lel

[polar fern]

No, it’s a trap, and you fell for it

[harsh quartz]

I’m sorry what the FUCK does this even mean

[manic torrent]

you don't WANT to drive to work, you HAVE to drive to work because of the situation.

[polar fern]

Work closer to where you live, don’t you don’t need a car

[manic torrent]

ah yes, it's so simple, why didn't I think of that

[harsh quartz]

No, no technically I COULD bike, or walk, or Uber, but they’re all very bad alternatives

[echo canopy]

Fun fact my job almost exclusively does not exist in cities because “it’s dirty and loud”

[polar fern]

Car companies need you - you don’t need a car let’s just make sure that’s perfectly clear

[vapid smelt]

my car but i have 130k miles and has a bit worst body wear and a rebuilt title from 1995

[harsh quartz]

Yeah lemme buy a 400000$ house in downtown enter city name real quick

[manic torrent]

yes, but my point is not that you set out to drive to work, you have a job you need to get to and that is the most effective way to get there.

[restive lion]

its funny how deluded you are

[manic torrent]

you left out a 0

[restive lion]

i also dont need a job but i like having a place to live instead of the street

[vapid smelt]

my work is 20 miles away via the free way that has no sidewalks sooooo

[harsh quartz]

No, I live in a shithole, it’s only in the 400000-1000000 range here

[echo canopy]

It’s just their kind, the idealization of every situation without accounting for every factor of the human condition

[restive lion]

in the same sense, i enjoy not taking a literal quarter of my day to get to/from work. thusly, i need a car

[manic torrent]

you shouldn't need a car. You are making systemic problems peoples individual responsibility

I drive to work two days a week. The other three days a week I work from home.

[harsh quartz]

And it’s our fault cause we… paid for part of it? With mandatory taxes? Apparently that’s what transit thinks

[restive lion]

technically they pay for it too through their mandatory taxes

[echo canopy]

Facts

[harsh quartz]

No they don’t pay road tax clearly cause they don’t have a car

[echo canopy]

I wonder why there isn’t a walking only city yet

Outside of some small village in the Swedish country side

[manic torrent]

uhhh, plenty of places have stopped cars

[harsh quartz]

Wait, I think there is, isn’t there?

[restive lion]

isnt that the one that still has little electric cars

[vapid smelt]

AMDs best product

[restive lion]

you just cant buy them without a reason

[manic torrent]

Many cities restrict traffic to certain places at certain times and of certain types

[echo canopy]

I don’t think that’s a AMD product……

[steel marsh]

i mean there isn't village in switzerland that is fully electric cars

[echo canopy]

None of them are pure or rely on cars somehow

[steel marsh]

that are custom made

[harsh quartz]

ICM is AMD in French

[restive lion]

<everyone here referencing the same tom scott video>

[harsh quartz]

And we all remember it slightly differently

[manic torrent]

no, because that's just as stupid as EVERYONE driving a car

[vapid smelt]

then why did you drive one last night

[harsh quartz]

Hey lemme deliver this multi ton stock shipment to the store with my… horse and buggy?

[echo canopy]

Yeah, hybrid is the best approach. Most people who are pro walkable cities seem to think eliminating car entirely is the solution

[restive lion]

they forget about the shit on the streets when that was the case

[harsh quartz]

Eliminating cars entirely would be really cool, with fully built out mass transit systems, but it’s a pipe dream

[restive lion]

eliminating cars entirely would be super dumb when you factor in the commercial sector

[manic torrent]

eliminating cars as individual personal transport within a city area is more-or-less doable, but vehicles as goods transport or shared transport makes a lot of sense

[restive lion]

"scuse me just getting on the bus with a bundle of 20 foot 2x4s"

[harsh quartz]

Make everything run on trains that are Hubbed on the city limits, large depots where the trucks stop and go between cities

[manic torrent]

I bought this home on the train

[polar fern]

@vapid smelt last night? I’m not sure what you mean I was sleeping last night and also being in the dark without electricity

[vapid smelt]

i find it really hard to move my kidnap victims on public transport

[harsh quartz]

Drone delivery? Like I said, cool, but a pipe dream

[harsh quartz]

Stick em in the caboose of the train

[restive lion]

bezos is that you

[echo canopy]

I will miss the ICE when it dies out

[polar fern]

Passenger trains don’t have cabooses

[harsh quartz]

Amazon was the loudest about drone delivery but has let others beat them to the punch

[harsh quartz]

And thus, we’ve established problem number 1 with this concept

[polar fern]

Cabooses are offices for the crew of the train. You don’t need that on a passenger train because they’re built into the passenger coaches where is a freight train it’s a bunch of freight cars with cargo

[echo canopy]

Because it’s impractical as shit

[manic torrent]

you need to try harder

[manic torrent]

whoosh

[harsh quartz]

No, it wasn’t missed, they’re being belligerent on purposes, just gotta be more belligerent back

[polar fern]

No, I’m just tired of people thinking that caboose were ever on passenger trains as a regular thing

[restive lion]

im beginning to think they simply dont understand humour in any sense?

[harsh quartz]

Cool. Suck it up

[polar fern]

Gross

[harsh quartz]

how dare they think passenger trains had… cabooses… caboose is clearly a character in that terrible halo show

[polar fern]

I understand humor just fine I don’t have to enjoy whatever the person said though

Specially after they’ve been whataboutisming me and trolling me for the last hour

[restive lion]

uh huh

[harsh quartz]

Damn bro, you got the whole squad stuck in deep intellectual thought about the beginnings of the term caboose and its role in the modern day culture of passenger trains

[manic torrent]

nobody thinks actual cabooses are in any way relevant

[harsh quartz]

It’s relevant in the context of halo machinimas

Apparently valve is shutting down some fan projects

[echo canopy]

Tf? Like what?

[harsh quartz]

Tf source 2 and portal 64

It’s weird coming from valve

[echo canopy]

Seriously portal64? The fuck?

Oh, it used Nintendo copyrighted stuff

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, that ones makes a little bit of sense cause nintendos involved and they’re notoriously awful, but the tf source 2 is what confused me

I guess tf2 is still enough of a cash cow to want it not messed with

[steel marsh]

valve took it down because they don't want to be sued by nintendo

[harsh quartz]

Again, portal64 yes, what about tf source 2?

[echo canopy]

Something about them posting assets to GitHub

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but people have been using valve assets for fan projects for years

Idk, it’s just shocking to see coming from valve

[steel marsh]

I can see why though especially if it contained nintendo copyrighted stuff because Valve don't want to be sued for that plus trying to be ahead of nintendo's lawyers

[harsh quartz]

Again, that’s portal 64

[echo canopy]

Not the tf2 source 2 remake

[steel marsh]

oh

did they take down too

[harsh quartz]

Tf2 has to be making enough money to make it an issue for a remake to be released

[steel marsh]

ye

[sour merlin]

is fx 8350 similar to i7 3770?

[restive lion]

@harsh quartz speaking of drone deliveries this shit just appeared in my YouTube feed

[harsh quartz]

Fx series, F series more like

[sour merlin]

ok, i couldnt find a video with my specifations to see if i can run Sons Of The Forest (FX 8350 and RX 480) the only video i found was RX 480 and i7 3770

@graceful burrow since one of my gmail addresses was compromised somehow, I decided to reinstall windows to wipe off any malware that may have caused unauthorized access to my gmail. Since I restarted everything on this pc, is it safe for me to add back my gmail that was sort of getting hacked back into this pc?

[full fossil]

My father suggested me to completely restart a new Gmail and delete the one that was hacked just to be safe, which one do you think is better?

I demand testicle facts

[cursive salmon]

Howdy, are there any Canadians with a Canadian credit card online? Travelling to Canada in 2 weeks and have tried to buy a Public Mobile eSIM but it won’t let me with my NZ credit card nor my Wise credit card. Any chance someone can use their card to buy it? Ill obviously pay for it

[indigo atlas]

not sus at all

[left dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-stepped-on-angry-amber-heard-heart-gif-25774858

[cursive salmon]

Not sure why it doesn’t work with my Wise card thought the whole point was to be able to use it like a Canadian card

https://tenor.com/view/oop-take-my-money-gif-23438077

They don’t like New Zealand pesos

[alpine gale]

Charging... for an eSIM? Is this a Canadian provider or...? And does the eSIM come with lootbox content? 🤣 I must be out of the loop - don't know why a carrier would charge for something that's not physical...

[cursive salmon]

Don't ask me why...Canadian things I guess lol

Apparently US cards work...someone help me out 😭 not trying to scam anyone

[manic torrent]

especially considering the charge for a sim was only ever nominal

[cursive salmon]

Public Mobile charge $10 for a physical SIM! Madness

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Wise-card-cannot-activate-public-mobile/td-p/870010

Seems that since my Wise card was activated in NZ they won't accept it

Lol if anyone from Vancouver helps me I'll literally buy lunch or dinner for you

[rustic lodge]

yoooo

[shut lichen]

how long are you going to be there? you'll likely be better of roaming if it's not too long

[shut lichen]

have you tried making a CAD account in wise and putting 40 cad in it?

[cursive salmon]

Yeah I already have one with $40 in it

[cursive salmon]

2.5 weeks

[shut lichen]

yeah, just roam lol

[vapid smelt]

have you tried not being Canadian

[shut lichen]

they aren't canadian, they're going to canada

[cursive salmon]

Roaming sucks for me, NZ$25 for 2gb data lol

[alpine gale]

I was gonna say... some providers have very poor roaming rates. For example... Koodo's "Easy Roam" is $14/day to have access to the same amount of data when traveling from Canada to the USA that you have in Canada.

For customers on a Canada-wide only plan going to U.S. destinations: the $14/day fee is capped at a cost of $350 within a bill cycle

[jaunty cairn]

Hello

[shut lichen]

I'm with skinny, for LTX I just got the $17 1gb data one and didn't even use the whole gb

[jaunty cairn]

I have a question

What are your thoughts on the new chrome update?

[cursive salmon]

Canada is so wack

[cursive salmon]

I'm gonna be out and about so that prob won't work for me

[alpine gale]

Which one? I sometimes receive multiple updates per day.

[jaunty cairn]

The new ui

[graceful burrow]

Bro could not be more vague if they tried

[jaunty cairn]

Chrome refresh?

[graceful burrow]

They change parts of their ui constantly dude

Always for the worse

[alpine gale]

Ah, you mean the complete waste of space that is extra padding in most of the menus, including bookmarks menus. 😦 I mean, it's usable, but I miss the compact menus before the update.

[jaunty cairn]

I kinda like it tho
Wanted to try it since I’ve been using Firefox and safari recently

[graceful burrow]

Sorry to hear

[cursive salmon]

@shut lichen

[shut lichen]

jeez

[cursive salmon]

Yeahhhhhhh lmao

[shut lichen]

how on earth do you use so much

I get 1.5gb on my cheap plan, and I have over 10 months of it built up

[jaunty cairn]

Why’s that? The refresh isn’t half bad.

[graceful burrow]

How would you know if you didn't experience what it was pre-refresh

[jaunty cairn]

I did

[graceful burrow]

Idk man
I think every update they do sucks ass

I feel like they're making their devs work for the sake of working and then this shit comes out

I want my bottom download bar back

Why couldn't that have been a toggle

[jaunty cairn]

Could be worse
It could be like edge, every update something that doesn’t really concern me
But I don’t want to say I hate edge tho

[graceful burrow]

I haven't used edge extensively so I can't comment on it

[hot tartan]

I use edge, i like it

Good enough browser

[jaunty cairn]

What do you like about it?

[graceful burrow]

It doesn't have the bottom download bar, it ain't good

[hot tartan]

Battery life is way better on edge than chrome

Mostly that

[jaunty cairn]

And probably memory usage too

[jaunty cairn]

Why does it need to be on the bottom tho? Move your mouse pointer to the top of your screen

lol

[graceful burrow]

Why do I have to waste a click when I could just drag it into a different program from there
Fucks up my flow and muscle memory

[cursive salmon]

Music and social media

[graceful burrow]

It's a legitimate criticism idk why you're dismissing it

If you're just gonna do that then the conversation is worthless

[shut lichen]

why on earth aren't you using downloads?

[jaunty cairn]

I can understand
I’m just not used to it like you are
Didn’t come here to start an argument

[graceful burrow]

Nah later gator

[cursive salmon]

i have 90gb of downloaded music too lol

[jaunty cairn]

[rain mesa]

Google just started another round of layoffs.

[iron hatch]

bro every single time it says my gmail is potentially compromised, how do i check that

how do i actually know someone has access to it

[bronze ember]

i mean you can check your google account and check the security tab and see which devices are signed in

[iron hatch]

Yeah i have, i only see devices i know, nothing suspicious

But google is saying otherwise, and i have the doubt too. Lots of my passwords are being changed, which is not me doing so

how do i definitively secure my gmail and revoke unauthorized access permanently

[bronze ember]

where exactly are they saying otherwise

[bronze ember]

google has a lot of different features to secure your account, just check the security tab, go thru all the ones yuo want to use, like 2fa, phone, address, whatever. and then sign out of all other devices

[iron hatch]

My notifs

[iron hatch]

I did everything, but im always worried if theres still unauthorized access

[bronze ember]

i would assume they would say where its coming from then if someone does actually have access to your account lol. eg location/ip

if u dont recognize the area then ya it would be safe to assume someone has access to your account but if you have done everything and signed out of other devices its chill

just make sure to change ur pw too

[iron hatch]

its different everytime

my epic games account was hacked and it said russia, my Facebook account got hacked and it said vietnam

and today, i got a request saying someone is trying to log into my Apple ID from malaysia

[molten pulsar]

What is that?

[slim creek]

omg dva from overwatch (never playing that game again)

[dreamy thorn]

project diva is the miku rhythm game

[molten pulsar]

Ohhh

[molten pulsar]

Then nope, I mainly play Assetto Corsa, Warzone, DCS, war thunder, sometimes Roblox for only two games phantom forces and state of anarchy

btw I play vr games as well

[dreamy thorn]

i got fired for calling my boss an expletive

[slim creek]

Why do muted servers still push through alerts

[graceful burrow]

Mine don't, you must have a setting incorrect

[vapid smelt]

so you are saying its a skill issue

[graceful burrow]

Yes

I am and it is

[waxen temple]

Sounds like a technology issue to me, good thing you are in the right place!

[graceful burrow]

No that would be #1027757333117415424

[waxen temple]

1 step is required to fix, just uninstall discord

[graceful burrow]

I wouldn't be too upset if he did

[waxen temple]

Ayyy that's the spirit

[fickle sable]

Hi guys, so basically I have a speaker for my pc and it uses a USB and headphone jack to connect to my pc. I used to plug it in to the front io but I think my front io headphone jack is broken. So what I did is connect it in the back (to the motherboard), the headphone jack I put it in the green labeled headphone jack. But now the sound only comes out of 1 of 2 speakers. Does anyone know a solution for this 😭

[wispy marsh]

I just realised Jay (from jtc) is 42

With how haggard he looked I was surprised he isn't 50+

[golden talon]

that’s pretty rude

[wispy marsh]

Yep

But yeah, he's been losing a lot of strength due to his current health conditions

Honestly he looked 30+ a while back

I hope his health gets better

[vapid smelt]

buy a new pc

[fickle sable]

Not an option

[golden talon]

it is always an option

[fickle sable]

Nah fr tho is there anyway to fix that

[vapid smelt]

#1027757333117415424

[gleaming harbor]

should i buy wallpaper engine
i have a potato pc keep that in mind lol

[golden talon]

sure

[vapid smelt]

wallpapers are useless when do you see youself looking at your desktop

[bright silo]

take awesome photos and make wallpaper for free

pretty quiet in here this morning

[golden talon]

it’s like 5:30 am for me

and i’m on the east coast

[bright silo]

4:30 am here

[golden talon]

[bright silo]

A scholar of mountain time i see

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah, I thought he was in his 50s as well! I was shocked when I learned he was younger than me

I hope things get better for him

[dreamy thorn]

or download anime women

[polar fern]

🧐

Download, you say?

🕵️‍♂️ must investigate

[thick briar]

hey all

[dreamy thorn]

would you hire this guy?

[full fossil]

Should I install Ubuntu on my old Thinkpad????

☝️🤓

[polar fern]

Hmm. Very educational.

[full fossil]

Hell nah he's too colorful

[thick briar]

not a bad idea, may run a lot less clunky

[polar fern]

I see multiple red flags

[thick briar]

probably better to have the discussion in the #linux chat

[full fossil]

Yeah I might slap a 1tb SSD on it

[thick briar]

good shout

[full fossil]

Bros from Spain yeahs he's a volcano tier 1 red flag

[thick briar]

linux mint is also a shout for a more friendly GUI

[soft swan]

https://tenor.com/view/iron-man-tony-stark-probably-not-gif-24786485

[dreamy thorn]

spain is based wym

[full fossil]

It still has zest though

[dreamy thorn]

wtf is zest

[thick briar]

It's what you get from scraping a citrus fruit against a grater

[dreamy thorn]

never seen it myself

[polar fern]

So in searching for anime women, I found some even more hot

[slim owl]

guys is an A3000 better at rendering for WORK purposes than a rtx 4070, for things such as illustrator, photoshop and after effects

[polar fern]

Probably going to pick up one of these

4070 gonna be better as the A3000 based on the older architecture

Plus, there are other differences that make the 4070 superior

[broken notch]

Hi

[slim owl]

this is just for work and rendering

[polar fern]

Ahoy

Yep, I understand

[slim owl]

not for gaming

[polar fern]

Again I understand

[slim owl]

oki :3

[polar fern]

The A3000 is approximately equivalent to a regular RTX 3060

[thick briar]

is there any architectural difference that would be better for media rendering? on the A3000

[polar fern]

Also the a3000 is a low power mobile package, whereas the 3060 graphics card doesn’t have the same limitations

[slim owl]

well we are looking for abt 4 hrs of battery

maybe 3

[polar fern]

It’s literally an entire generation older

The only downside of a mobile 4070 is it has four gigs less memory

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the A3000, but it is not the same

[slim owl]

im considering an xps 15 with a rtx 4070 than

[polar fern]

it may be better for lower power applications if that’s what you’re looking for

more importantly for battery life honestly is continuous power use

So if your focus is doing those things, but having good battery life, you might want to think about the A3000

The 4070 will get things done slightly faster, but it will eat battery faster as well. The wattage rating is almost double.

I think it’s like 60 W versus 115 W

[dreamy thorn]

i wonder if i should replace the 2700x first or the vega

[polar fern]

???

Okay, I need to finish watching this movie

(Footloose)

[bright silo]

fellow 2700x and vega user?

[shut lichen]

if they're ballsy enough to put that on their linkedin profile, yeah.

[dreamy thorn]

indeed, vega 56

[bright silo]

I had the same specs in my first desktop

Which one has better rizz mint or Ubuntu??

[fossil frost]

mint is ubuntu with a different ui framework

and there is no "which is better", its all personal preference

[tardy terrace]

[wispy marsh]

Hm

I think I ordered my devices early, might have to stash them away for two months

[tardy terrace]

what do you mean "ordered too early"?

[wispy marsh]

Told doc I'd visit in march

[tardy terrace]

Just starting?

[wispy marsh]

Felt the itch to just order some

[tardy terrace]

...Just be safe with unknown-legitimacy HRT.

[wispy marsh]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Been operating for a decade or more

It's a friend recommendation

Also why'd the sender have to pay agent fees

[tardy terrace]

I'd be too squicked out to do that, I'd rather just get my supply from my dr

I didn't get prog this last visit, kinda bummed about that.

[wispy marsh]

:O

[tardy terrace]

E levels doubled w/ only +2mg estradiol

[wispy marsh]

I dunno about prog, seen debates about it

[tardy terrace]

Anything to keep this train rollin', I'm down for.

I really hope I can get moved to E injections

Thanks I wrote this idea beacuse I want to make one applications for my country

[agile siren]

ooof. dont do bus lines. its not something one person can do.

[still yacht]

I am a big team of one person, there is no certainty that I will do right now. I'm just looking for ideas.

[agile siren]

if I were to HAVE TO make an app I would create something that has an API and is pain to use on a mobile. like an weather app.

[still yacht]

Weather app is not a difficult app. I have both backend and mobile knowledge.

[grand trellis]

I've been looking into doing back-end to be a software engineer one day

[stark spoke]

I was Just now trying to contact LMG, and had a interesting conversation with a woman, who claims that for the last 2 years, she has been getting the same call, People looking for LMG.... and reaching her PERSONAL CELL#
Sucks for her, that Yellow pages still has her number as LMG contact, for Over 2 years, lol.
Still doesnt change the fact that I'm still in desperate need of a conversation with a man, whom seems nearly impossible to contact.....

[cosmic copper]

why are you trying to contact them?

[stark spoke]

Very Very Personal reasons... I need to tell someone the secret that i , and I alone on this earth , know about. and am tryin to do it the right way, rather than making a video, and letting a few Million people decide how he should feel, and respond... Its really between us !

Im aware of how to contact the company, if i was a company, trying to pay you guys...
But what if its something personal.. Like I know something, that NO ONE else on EARTH knows...... and i want to tell him. Why.. because its about him !!
Yes : I know something about Linus, that NO one else on earth does.
No: I dont think it is the rest of the worlds business how WE feel about it.
No : Its NOT a BAD thing !!!! Actually NOT BAD AT ALL!!!! no one did anything wrong.. adn there is NO problem... But....

it does need to be said... and thats that

OMG.. read the WHOLE msg..... Its personal. between , me and Linus.. and the story is NOT for sale... and even if it was.. 100K, wouldnt even get you threw my door.. You relentless Guttural Trolls. lol. Story is NOT for sale. !!! Dont ask, it just gets you insta blocked !!!!!.

[graceful burrow]

That is an impressive amount of words given there's nothing of meaning being said

[stark spoke]

COngratz !! you deduced the actual Point. Tryin to get a msg to or from someone, that you dont want to give a bunch of personal Info about them. Ur probaly a genius 😉

[thin fjord]

just buy a ticket to on of their lans

[stark spoke]

I'll make a video ,, that he can respond to , live on Wan, before i spend a grand or 2, trying to travel to see a man, whom i may not even get close to. lol.

But he is REALLY going to wish he took a few min, to talk to me, if that happened....

[graceful burrow]

Linus doesnt come here and ngl if I was him and saw this I wouldn't even reply lmao, waste of my time

[stark spoke]

who cares what you would do.. dude... like really... NGL, no one cares what YOU would do, my guy. lol.
who cares what I will do.. really.. lol, In this case.. Only Linus would. So maybe if its not about you, and you have no horse in the race.. get the eff of the track,

[graceful burrow]

Bro thinks he's important 💀

Skedaddle kid, your precious Linus ain't here

[restive lion]

fwiw people like you are precisely why content creators dont give out their contact information

[graceful burrow]

Real

He rage dm'd me lol

Struck a nerve 💀

[stark spoke]

really, there isnt people liek me, not many dude, and that doesnt make me special, or important, it makes me a human.

Yeah, dont call me a child, puck. lol

[graceful burrow]

Kid's MAD

[stark spoke]

kid ?? dude, you have NO IDEA WTF u are talking about, so just stop.

[graceful burrow]

Tom is right
People like you are precisely why creators don't give out personal contact details

Tom was spittin facts

Bro's not makin a good case for himself

Careful he may dm you and get angry in your dm's

So true

[stark spoke]

i ddint come here to argue with the short bus section, of the Linus fan group. this is more of a waste of time, than actually tryin to do the right thing... Sorry if i thought this might work. I must be a moron to think that the trolls wouldnt Pop out from what ever bridge they are slowly dying under.

[marble sandal]

anyone know of any discord servers where i could get help with how much to sell things for

ty

[graceful burrow]

How lol

[marble sandal]

idk lmao

i didnt think very hard ig

[graceful burrow]

Seems like it

[restive lion]

fwiw the easiest way to figure out pricing is just to search up similar or the same products on the platform you intend to sell your thing on

[marble sandal]

starting to understand this dudes response

dawg is just being passive aggressive for no reason

[graceful burrow]

He said everyone here rides the short bus
That's not passive lol

Bro is aggressive full stop

[marble sandal]

Big ego, small grammar and punctuation skills

Do stores even look at those customer survey things on receipts.

[graceful burrow]

Yes

If they didn't they wouldn't do it, that's a lot of money wasted if they didnt

I'd rather have the 1440p one tbh

but like. 800$

Apple usually waits to see if concepts are worth working on

and by then it tends to be more mature

I kinda want the Samsung G8
i've heard how good these OLEDs are so I want to try one
especailly after having a trash monitor for 4 years

[sturdy dune]

i have a good monitor but ive been wanting higher hz recently

ive had 165hz for like 5 years

[molten drift]

I mean I had reported how I was gatekept from buying a product at GameStop yesterday and they haven't outreached to me yet so I wasn't sure

But yeah GameStop employee gatekept me from buying a magic the gathering lord of the rings set product cause I couldn't name everyone in the fellowship so I wasn't a real fan..

So I bought the suction cup pig phone holder.instead.

[stoic beacon]

They also look at Google reviews for the local branches

[molten drift]

May post there if no response tomorrow

[harsh quartz]

As someone who worked at one, yes, district level managers view them and hold them over the stores heads

[molten drift]

Bought the suction cup thing so I could do a survey .

[harsh quartz]

One customer filled out a survey that’s said an employee forced a customer to get their own cart, stored outside, in the middle of a thunderstorm, that employee was terminated by the end of the week

[alpine gale]

While I can't speak to how every store handles feedback surveys, I have heard that both Staples and Starbucks only care about getting perfect scores. (If you rank less than 5/5 or 7/7 fully satisfied, corporate essentially gives the store demerits... But does nothing to actually resolve systemic issues the customer complained about.)

[molten drift]

Alrighty then

[alpine gale]

something something corporate is always listening and looking to improve their stores... But only if it doesn't cost them anything in the process. 😅

[harsh quartz]

Yes, satisfied is equivalent to dissatisfaction, you have to be “extremely satisfied” or give a perfect score or it doesn’t reflect well on store manager, which is how they get bonuses

I was a store manager for a little while at a dollar general, all my survey results were good but I only got a handful and the DM was always up my ass about boosting those numbers

[alpine gale]

DM: "Boost the numbers!"
GM: "But most of the surveys say they're unhappy with our lack of stock, and I don't control stock ordering... So how should I fix this?"
DM: "IDC just do your job better!"
Reason 64823 many companies are doomed to eventually fail. Stats mean nothing if you only cherry pick the ones that cut costs / increase bonuses whilst ignoring the ones that actually matter long term.

[harsh quartz]

Also this, luckily I had a good one, and a good regional manager, but I knew some bad ones and they were rough

[lilac bear]

THIS

usually customer service is great

but most of the time a customer is upset is because something is out of stock

[harsh quartz]

“Why are you shelves empty” cause we just had an ice storm and our last 3 trucks have missed

[lilac bear]

"I don't see how that is my issue"

[summer nova]

Sorry mate, I need it lol

[summer nova]

Yes for a ps2

[graceful burrow]

Lots of ai upscaling models and programs available if your GPU has any power

[summer nova]

I get a bunch from the recycling

Loads of good tech

uhh unfortunatly not nvidia so ion think itll work well :/ 6700xt

[lilac bear]

bad tech

[summer nova]

Some of it actually pretty recent too

[idle nymph]

Time to teleport to you and snatch that

[summer nova]

no

[graceful burrow]

Topaz labs might have a free trial for their upscaler
I run all that shit locally and fully free

[summer nova]

[rain dust]

u run topaz or sth diff?

lol my Mid 2015 Base model MBP looking at me nervously when I hit export.

[restive lion]

yeah my 2015 was not a fan of export time

[rain dust]

how long you think upscale takes on a 6700xt?

like for example from 1200x700 to 2k or 4k

[graceful burrow]

No clue

[rain dust]

dam, ig trying aint too bad, what program u be usin?

[graceful burrow]

Stable diffusion

Comfyui specifically

[pliant karma]

and when I say it chugged that MF chugged. All 16gb would be used up..well however amount was left before exporting so i couldn't touch the laptop until it was done

[rain dust]

didnt know it had under-categories

[graceful burrow]

Good luck
I am not providing tech support on that

[pliant karma]

and that was a solid 40/50 min of trying to entertain myself while I wait for it to export

[graceful burrow]

Stable diffusion is the program
Comfyui is a front-end for it

[rain dust]

unfortunatly im too stoopid to know what you mean

[graceful burrow]

I know

[rain dust]

then you saying it despite knowing actually makes you more mentally "restricted"

<3

btw bro im also too stoopid to download

what of allat do i do

[graceful burrow]

I said I will not provide tech support on it

[rain dust]

when

oh u did

dam das cwazy

ty anyway

[old solar]

So I just listened to last weeks wan show and it bothers me as a senior security analyst that Linus said SMS two factor authentication is garbage, but using a push notification Authenticator, such as duo is more secure, which can’t be farther from the truth. Even after a recent conference I went to for security they even discussed how push notifications can be hijacked much easier than SMS, and while SMS is not secure, either it only takes a disgruntled and tired person at three in the morning to hit approve after being annoyed by the spam of notifications or accidentally hit it during the day to gain access. Where is SMS you need to type in a code

Did they really not backport 7z support to win10?

[ionic skiff]

Yes

[ionic skiff]

Yup

[ionic skiff]

The more it looks like the 2000s the better

[graceful burrow]

This shit was obsoleted in 2013 lmao

[old solar]

I use it daily

[graceful burrow]

If you out here using winrar in 2024 you're a sucker

[ionic skiff]

Hot take

[graceful burrow]

Is it?

[old solar]

There are a ton of people who are still using rar

[ionic skiff]

I mean a lot of people use it so

[graceful burrow]

It's archaic and slow with a horrible ui and it makes you wait to use it
7z does all of that with a better ui, it's faster, supports all the same file types, doesn't make you wait or prompt you to buy it, and is open source lol

[ionic skiff]

Can't agree more

[graceful burrow]

No real reason to be using winrar 🤷‍♂️

[old solar]

I’m not sure when the last time you used it was, but it’s always had a UI and just as quick

[graceful burrow]

I said it had a horrible ui to be fair

Not that it didn't have one

[old solar]

Anyone who listens to that should not take Linus advice please I beg you

[rain dust]

um what exactly do i open now

[ionic skiff]

Well to be fair for some reason extractors ux are always stuck in the 2007 era

[agile siren]

i dont care what UI does my decompression program have. I want it to integrate into windows shell, finish fast and let me browse the contents in my file manager of choice.

[ionic skiff]

But ninjoun has a good point

[old solar]

Honestly, I recommend getting a hardware key specifically yubikey they’re amazing and pretty freaking secure

[ionic skiff]

Can you send a picture

[old solar]

I have no idea why they discounted that

[rain dust]

hol up this even amd gpu compatible? bc the readme says cpu or nvidia and my cpu is ew

[rain dust]

ye

[ionic skiff]

Run cpu

[agile siren]

it uses cpu. gpu support is ehhhhhhh

[ionic skiff]

Doesn't even support amd gpus on windows sadly

Amd gpus are so neglected

[agile siren]

not like it matters lol in this case.

[rain dust]

ong sometimes be regrettin amd due to all the small things it dont have

[graceful burrow]

Bro you didn't even extract it

[rain dust]

huh, i ong pressed extract and it like said its triple its own size

[agile siren]

thats the point of compressing stuff

[rain dust]

download times

[graceful burrow]

That interface Is 7z
If you run from there the bat file can't see any other files

[rain dust]

couldnt find the folder but ima search again

[graceful burrow]

Bruh you chose where to extract it to

[rain dust]

thats exactly where i checked but ima just re-extract man

[ionic skiff]

Should be in your downloads

[rain dust]

Yup, it be extractin a 2nd time now bc it wasnt in the downloads rn

[graceful burrow]

Should be where you chose to extract it*

Since 7zip doesn't have a "default folder" to extract to

[ionic skiff]

Yea

Lmk when you finish

[rain dust]

ok dis the thingy alr

[rain dust]

i aint change nun and it said it should be this folder, so why he aint there dawg

[ionic skiff]

Yes

[rain dust]

das what im sayin

[ionic skiff]

Scroll down

[rain dust]

hol up not even directory visible mb lmao

but yh ima scroll

[rain dust]

sorted by time so should be up

1st says "yesterday"
2nd says "last week"

[graceful burrow]

But did you scroll down

[rain dust]

i did try just now yes

[graceful burrow]

It's such an easy thing to try why argue about it

[ionic skiff]

Like scroll all the way down

[graceful burrow]

Takes more effort to type that than it did to scroll down lmao

[ionic skiff]

Facts lmao

[ionic skiff]

No it could be like the polar opposite

[rain dust]

i may have actually found it now and was possibly yapping because i have not looked in great detail the first time

[graceful burrow]

Right click the zip file and extract to /*

Ezpz lemon squeezie :)

My downloads folder is a battleground

[rain dust]

that?`

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[rain dust]

okok we gettin that progress

the site opened

[ionic skiff]

What

[rain dust]

i tried the standard prompt

i mean this site (i opened bat cpu thingy)

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
You don't have a model

This isn't a one click upscale thing the main use for comfyui is image gen
Its just very extensible and can do upscaling

So when I need to upscale I upscale

[rain dust]

sounds quite weird to use

but ok

[graceful burrow]

It's the most free-form and fastest one ive found

For Nvidia
I wouldn't dare try cpu lmao

[rain dust]

unfortunatly ion know what you mean by model but lemme google rq

[graceful burrow]

Good luck lol

[rain dust]

💀 ty

[graceful burrow]

Ngl
If you've never laid on a slight hill lookin up at a blue sky watchin clouds you haven't truly vibed

You ain't got ants in your house
I mean you might
But that's a whole another jar to open

[manic torrent]

or to break. but that's a different thing again

[turbid trellis]

How do I suggest video ideas to LMG staff?

[stoic beacon]

The most successful method I've seen is when people put merch messages in during WAN show

And they have to be pretty dang interesting + appealing to a pretty large number of people.

[turbid trellis]

I've already bought a ton of merch 🤣

[stoic beacon]

Buy a gift card then

Buy your friend something nice, etc.

[turbid trellis]

What's the second best way

[vapid smelt]

stalk them in real life

[turbid trellis]

That's a great idea

[vapid smelt]

shmuck

[turbid trellis]

I live in Australia though and cbf flying to Canada

[soft swan]

Elijah’s here sometimes tell him

[turbid trellis]

alr

maybe I can deliver their office a pizza with a message in it

[vapid smelt]

the ltt forums

[turbid trellis]

Incase anyone from LTT is reading this my video idea is powering a gaming PC straight off a battery

[vapid smelt]

they already did that

[turbid trellis]

nah

link me then

[graceful burrow]

No
Google jackery ltt

L coopa

Babying them

[eager notch]

Well this was a good week to go on vacation

[vapid smelt]

well clearly they are incapable of easy task

[graceful burrow]

That's nothin

[eager notch]

Is that freedom units?

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[stoic beacon]

Yup. It's very snowy here

[graceful burrow]

The inside of my window is already frosting

Like the part I can touch without opening it

[turbid trellis]

That's off an inverter though

[graceful burrow]

It has a battery in it

And it's not connected to mains

It's running
Off a battery

[turbid trellis]

Yea no shit. Not directly off a battery as you have to step up to 120V AC then back down to 12

I have a question about it in #1027757333117415424 if anyone has an idea how to power the cpu/gcard and not just mobo

[vapid smelt]

[eager notch]

Yeah it's not bad here in Florida

[graceful burrow]

Sure but the downside is you're in Florida

I'd take cold over that any day

[turbid trellis]

Thanks for helping I appreciate it!
Two of the videos use an AC inverter and one of them powers a laptop. I haven't been able to find a video powering a desktop gaming PC without having to step up the battery to mains AC and back down to 12v

[graceful burrow]

Guess it doesn't exist
Oh well

[turbid trellis]

Not yet at least

[vapid smelt]

a laptop is a gaming pc

[graceful burrow]

Laptops are typically powered by their own batteries true true

And they are verifiably pc's

[turbid trellis]

You do have a point, laptops can get really powerful. I find desktop PCs more powerful and power hungry though. Laptops are designed to use way less power and less performance

[graceful burrow]

Some even with socketed cpu's and desktop gpus

[eager notch]

That is true, it's a toss up for me

[turbid trellis]

yea some do

[graceful burrow]

So there you go

[turbid trellis]

I already have a PC though, so looking to replace the PSU with a laptop equivalent then I guess

[graceful burrow]

Time for you to do reeearch to find a video ltt did

[turbid trellis]

I don't appreciate the toxicity
