[long belfry]

im only really looking for a new one because this one is an 8 megapixel sensor with very very little in hte way of settings to control it, i wanna do some lightpainting esk shots eventualy but this camera doesn't have the iso to do night time shots

this one also recently stoped seeing batteries in it

so its time for a new one as its just done with life

so no converters?

[velvet marsh]

They might exist, but probably won't be easy to find

[long belfry]

only the 35mm on it is pentax branded i have 2 other ones, altho the auto focus on one is dead and the other is fine still its just quite large

[velvet marsh]

Yeah everything I'm seeing is manual, or like $400

[long belfry]

i do still have a filterbox with slot in filters that fit this thing as it uses the same lenses as that film pentax

[harsh bane]

Hi, I'm Juls

😎

[long belfry]

i found one that addapts K mount pentax to the X mount fijifilm one i asume thats the correct mounts, its manual on zoom but supports autofocus, as autofocus on the K body is done with a motor in the frame running a gear to the lens rather then the lens having an autofocus mount\

[velvet marsh]

That may work, how much is it?

[long belfry]

30 euro

[velvet marsh]

and it has a motor for autofocus?

Most of the adapters in that price range are going to be fully manual

[long belfry]

it doesn't it has a gear connect

[velvet marsh]

link?

[graceful burrow]

You technically never throttled so normal use is Gucci

A stress test is an unrealistic load for the majority of people

Well that assumedly would pin it at 100 so

Depending on the day you may throttle

[velvet marsh]

AF will not work with that adapter

[graceful burrow]

You lose performance

I usually say if you're hitting over 90c consistently you should rethink your cooling solution

Idle literally does not matter

[long belfry]

oh ok, well i'll probably get an other cheap manual then anyways so i can use my giant zoom lens still, and look for a short and a fisheye that are cheap ish, maybe also referb

[graceful burrow]

Idle couldn't be more irrelevant

I've already said my piece, I have nothing more to add. Do what you will.

[velvet marsh]

But yeah I'm not finding one that will actually work with AF, but manual will

[long belfry]

yea for the large zoom lenses i preffer manual focus anyways so thats fine

so long as the camera won't refuse to take the picture due to focus mode

as my pentax does that at time

[velvet marsh]

is P95 still running?

certain tests do

then yes

[hearty heath]

hi

[polar fern]

Ahoy

🤔

[hearty heath]

im new here

[white pawn]

hiya!

[polar fern]

Mhm

[hearty heath]

hello

[long briar]

electron in a nutshell

[polar fern]

Discord should not be using that much

[long briar]

it is still going up

[polar fern]

How long since you’ve restarted pc?

[long briar]

if it's still going up and it's just discord, restart discord (or pc), you probably have a memory leak

[tepid dagger]

guys should I keep core isolation on?

[long briar]

anything more than about half a gig is too much

[long briar]

no reason not to

[tepid dagger]

I saw some articles that say it drop fps

and run windows on a hypervisor

[polar fern]

?

[long briar]

....huh

[tepid dagger]

?

[polar fern]

What are you even trying to do?

[tepid dagger]

I'm just saying that if windows runs on a hyper v then it will drop performance

[polar fern]

Check fan

[long briar]

is this your main pc?

[tepid dagger]

yes

[graceful burrow]

Vrm coil whine

Yes

[polar fern]

Are all fans clean?

[long briar]

do you prioritize security or performance

[graceful burrow]

[long briar]

CPU coil whine?

[polar fern]

I don’t think it’s coming from the processor it’s probably coming from the VRM

[long briar]

what voltage and power draw are you running at

and what motherboard

yea

[graceful burrow]

Almost like that's what I said

Vrm coil whine

[polar fern]

Brand?

[graceful burrow]

Only one brand makes a b450 pro wifi v1

[long briar]

it's an Aorus pro board... those have decent vrms and should be relatively understressed at anything less than 200w tbh

oh 1.35v is... high

not quite

it's decent for a "normal" board but I wouldn't use it for OC

[polar fern]

I’d switch the settings back

[long briar]

anyway since temps seem fine I guess you could keep it that way

[polar fern]

Honestly, yeah

[graceful burrow]

No

It isnt
The cpu will power off before any damage occurs

It's not running at higher voltages it's fine

[long briar]

I'm not familiar with Zen 3 voltages, is 1.35v safe on it?

like long as its cooled it should be okay

[polar fern]

If it’s not specified to be used with overclocking, you shouldn’t do overclocking, because the components are only capable for certain percent over their every day spec

[graceful burrow]

The majority of ryzen hardware is enabled for overclocking transit

[polar fern]

Yeah if it’s cooled really well you might get away with it, but then again if you have a board that was made on a Monday…

[long briar]

but zen 2 had a max safe at like 1.3 for normal

[hot tartan]

Hwinfo 64

[graceful burrow]

You already did that

We had this convo
Why are we having it again

Coil whine is normal and expected

[long briar]

^

[graceful burrow]

It's not detrimental, it's just annoying to listen to

[hot tartan]

This is for cpu temps right? Google hwinfo64

[long briar]

if the pc isn't crashing and the whine isn't a dealbreaker, just leave it as is

[hot tartan]

Hwinfo 64 does it I’m like 80% sure

[polar fern]

Just make sure it is cooled properly or the noise that you’re hearing will get louder, and then it will stop working

[graceful burrow]

(it will shut down before anything bad happens transit is misinformed)

Pc fan not enthusiast

[polar fern]

Please stop making up shit about me

What the hell is wrong with you?

[long briar]

pretty much

[polar fern]

<@&750150305383186585> @graceful burrow rule 2

[long briar]

mini modding?

[graceful burrow]

The info you have posted is verifiably incorrect, ergo you were misinformed. I'm not saying you're doing it out of malice

[long briar]

in public chat? that's crazy

[graceful burrow]

I guess

I'm a fan of correct info

Your pc sounds like it's working as it should and you haven't been thermal throttling under p95

[polar fern]

That discord user has a long history of being incredibly rude to people

[harsh quartz]

What’s your max rpms?

[graceful burrow]

15k ez

[polar fern]

Has nothing to do with you, don’t worry

When did you start playing around with overclocking?

[harsh quartz]

Transit has a history of starting shit over little things

[polar fern]

Interesting

Aside from performance benchmarks. Have you used your overclocked machine for any specific tasks?

Interesting

[long briar]

stop trying to instigate a fight

[polar fern]

What version of Linux?

[white pawn]

i miss mandrake/mandriva 😛

[polar fern]

Interesting

What kind of graphics card do you have or is it on board graphics with the processor?

Pretty similar to what I have I have 7 5700x

[graceful burrow]

It's not really similar lol

[polar fern]

Same graphics card

Am4

[graceful burrow]

5500 performs like a 3600, and has less cores than a 5700x

There's a fairly large performance delta

I edited the message because my wording could be read wrong like you did

[polar fern]

Which cooling system do you use for the cpu?

I see

[full fossil]

cooler master is dope

[graceful burrow]

Lmao he called mod and blocked me

[hot tartan]

Nice

[graceful burrow]

Their coolers gave been lacking lately, unfortunately

[full fossil]

@graceful burrow oh is it, i didnt know

[graceful burrow]

Arctic, deepcool, and thermalright are top for air cpu coolers at the moment

[polar fern]

Is that a 105 W rated cooler?

[full fossil]

i like my noctua nh-d15 chromax black 😄

[graceful burrow]

You definitely overpaid rip

[polar fern]

It’s not about the looks of it, I’m just wondering if the wattage rating

[full fossil]

@graceful burrow i know i over paid but i love how cool it looks specially with the motha fookin heatsync covers

heatsink?

[graceful burrow]

Hey, it's your money to waste

[full fossil]

yeah yeahhh

😄

[polar fern]

Looks good in there

[full fossil]

eeh rgb vomit

[polar fern]

I was just thinking that for overclocking, it might be a good idea to have a fan that pulls air in from underneath and blows it out towards the side panel to make sure that there’s proper airflow around the processor and not just cooling the processor itself

Just a thought

[full fossil]

why is rgb vomit a thing, just set the colour to a solid colour, itll look so much cleaner no?

looks nice id just change the colour to a solid one instead of the vomit

oohh fairs yeah thats effort icl

this is why we go no rgb all day babyyyy LETS GOOOOO

(see my battlestations post) 😉

[polar fern]

Something like this with the fan mounted on the bottom of the fin stack might be a better option for what you are doing https://a.co/d/0NuMoPd

[full fossil]

probably cause you're having to change the settings and go in bios and stuff

[graceful burrow]

noctua low profile

[polar fern]

Because it’s drawing air from the sides over the VRM’s to cool them properly, instead of just across the fin stack to cool just the processor itself

[graceful burrow]

Unironically if you want a better cooler look into getting an ak620 or a thermalright peerless assassin 120 se

Please don't buy noctua they super aren't worth the money lmao

[polar fern]

I’m not sure, but it looks like it does

[graceful burrow]

Ak620 and pa120 se come with two fans, it's a dual tower cooler

[polar fern]

It looks like if you have the same fan, it would work

[harsh quartz]

Shit brown noctua is better

[graceful burrow]

We love 70%+ upcharge to have the name noctua on it lmao

[full fossil]

nah nah nah unless i was building a fully brown build i wouldnt go for poo brown

[polar fern]

The noise that you are hearing is called magnetostriction. It’s literally the electrons bouncing around enough to cause momentary magnetic field strong enough to create noise that you can hear. It’s not dangerous in and of itself, but is indicative of current that is high enough to warrant proper cooling if all of the componentry is properly installed and such

[graceful burrow]

Nope

You'd need some 5v adapter, pc case fans run standard 12v

It will overheat, melt, and likely start a fire

Very

[full fossil]

adapters are a couple of dolla no?

[polar fern]

I think I should probably make myself some sort of breakfast and lunch combination

[graceful burrow]

Hed have to get a special adapter from sata/molex or a buck converter

[full fossil]

oh

what country

amazon?

[graceful burrow]

I like how transit came in, only spread misinfo, tagged mods when corrected, and left lmao
High quality user

[polar fern]

🇵🇱

[graceful burrow]

Oof

[full fossil]

oof

[graceful burrow]

No local pc/tech stores?

[full fossil]

surely theres some alternative so you're not spending 20$

[polar fern]

Yeah, it’s interesting how Amazon can’t figure it out in some countries. Like if you’re going to be this monopolistic titan, at least do it everywhere instead of good in one country and then crappy everywhere else

[graceful burrow]

Ah

[full fossil]

how about...building your own 12v to 5v adaptor...im sure theres a tutorial on youtube somewhere

[polar fern]

🤣

[graceful burrow]

If they're asking questions like they have been, this is not a good idea

[full fossil]

uuhhh yeah probably HAHA

[polar fern]

Polish is a weird one. Western Slavic, but with some influences from Latin.

[full fossil]

soooo your only options are blow up the pc or be extorted... its like you're a hostage KEKW

[polar fern]

Bruh

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like it's running fine to me

[polar fern]

I would say that $20 to keep your computer safe is pretty inexpensive

🤣

K, I really need some food, I’m starting to get low blood sugar

No, having a properly designed and oriented air cooler is your best option

[graceful burrow]

You don't even know if it's overheating as is lmao

[polar fern]

Especially if you plan to leave it overclocked long-term

What?

[graceful burrow]

He doesn't even know what vrm's the system is using how could he know nominal operating temps

[polar fern]

when you’re over clocking, you want to keep all of the stuff around what you are working on as cool as possible. It’s just common sense. It has nothing to do with assuming something is overheating

Especially on a board that isn’t designed for it

Anyway, it’s food time

[graceful burrow]

Yeah transit is usually the dissenting opinion in chat

Has a history

[polar fern]

It’s your computer deal with it, what you want of course, I’m just giving you my recommendation based on knowing about how electronic circuits work

It’s actually time for food, I’m not going to be responding for a bit

[graceful burrow]

First time I talked to transit he freaked out at my recommendation for calling your electrical company to check your house wiring properly as opposed to hiring some small shop lmao

I mean absolutely lost it

Yeah :/

[stoic beacon]

Dissenting is a very mild term

[graceful burrow]

He already called mod on me once for no reason lol

[polar fern]

I’m not sure what you’re talking about fourth time

I mean, like hanging out, still on my phone to help you out with something versus going to grab something to eat. I can change my mind you know

?

Oh, you must be talking to that other guy

Yes, I’m not sure what you’re referring to

that guy is extremely abusive towards other people so have fun with that I guess

That’s not why I did that I did that because he was breaking a rule

[stoic beacon]

No...just people who are generally wrong about...everything, really.

[polar fern]

harassment and such is not allowed just read the rules it’s right there in writing

[wheat warren]

what are we arguing about now?
I CBA reading for context

[polar fern]

There’s no argument

[stoic beacon]

Is Transit dumb, or is Aldonist a meanieface.

[polar fern]

That’s not even the correct usage of that word, holy crap

Yes, because I felt it was over the line

I don’t have to help anyone in here at all, but I try to and having my attempts be mocked and criticised and being harassed for my attempted assistance is not cool and is absolutely harassment and absolutely should be acted upon by one of the moderators but whatever

[wheat warren]

chill your beans

take your beans and refrigerate them

subzero

[polar fern]

Has nothing to do with being wrong, has to do with people being harassed and it not being dealt with appropriately

If you look back over the last three years, this person has continuously targeted me and disparaging comments consistently that is the definition of harassment

Again, read what I just typed

[wheat warren]

if you feel like you have been consistently disrespectfed for 3 years, why didn't you just give up and stop interacting?
seems like you just stuck around for the sake of an argument

[polar fern]

Of course you wanna make it all about someone being butt hurt and someone pointing out being wrong, but it’s not that I’ve been harassed non-stop for three years. By this person. They were off my block list for almost 3 months and they started it up again I can’t help them with their Issues that caused them to harass people, but I can block them

Yes, I’m going to leave this discord because of one person acting inappropriately

Total logic

[wheat warren]

oh shit I need to connect my discord and floatplane accounts

[stoic beacon]

Attempted assistance is the keyword here. It hasn't ever assisted anybody, because you're pretty much always wrong, and he calls you on that, and you call mods on him for it lol.

[polar fern]

It’s called blocking people and ignoring their bullshit, but three years of bullshit is a lot and it should be taken into account

That’s not the issue here

If you have nothing, nice to say, you don’t say anything at all, this concept seems to be very lost on some people

It’s harassment and I am going to take steps to have it addressed

[stoic beacon]

And if you don't have anything accurate to say, shut up and keep silent

Another lost concept

[polar fern]

Y’all can get your rocks off on someone else

[stoic beacon]

There's a reason why THEY are the one on most people's blocklists lol.

[wheat warren]

settle down papyrus

[polar fern]

This is why I left before, and I’m not considering leaving again because I’m not gonna let malevolently acting people dictate what I do

[graceful burrow]

To be fair I never said he should leave

[wheat warren]

it was hardly malevolent

[graceful burrow]

🤷‍♂️

[polar fern]

@wheat warren you have no clue what you’re talking about

You’re new here

[wheat warren]

@full fossil help I have been malevolently attacked

I'm just gonna sit and watch

[polar fern]

I’ll just leave this here and hope certain users can figure out what it actually means

[waxen verge]

Wow

[graceful burrow]

Didn't even do anything

[spice pine]

🍿 moment

[wheat warren]

🍿

[nova needle]

No, you have yet to talk to Gumball

[graceful burrow]

[spice pine]

It's pretty even between them, tbh

[waxen verge]

Okay, they're trying to settle down. Could you not try to provoke them any further.

[graceful burrow]

[waxen verge]

I read most of this conversation

[nova needle]

I don't

[waxen verge]

He's been wanting to leave to eat for a while... just saying

[zenith glade]

this is starting to P... me off 😄

is disabled yet it taunts me

[spice pine]

get Youtube Premium then

[graceful burrow]

He did leave to eat
This is after that

[zenith glade]

I'd rather subscribe to floatplane 😄

[stoic beacon]

Get YouTube Premium, get Floatplane, or get Firefox.

[zenith glade]

the only good option there is Floatplane 😄

[nova needle]

Firefox also has it from time to time

[stoic beacon]

Brave is garbage.

[waxen verge]

Okay tbf he did delete that message and I have no clue when he posted it

[graceful burrow]

That's cringe kek

[zenith glade]

It's Crypto Chrome 😄

[stoic beacon]

They shove a bunch of crypto crap down your throat and have been involved in multiple scandals.

[stoic beacon]

Firefox > Vanadium > TOR > Edge > Chrome > Brave > Opera

[spice pine]

sorry to hear that

[stoic beacon]

This will make a fine addition to my collection

[spice pine]

time to leave public-chat alone for weeks again

[stoic beacon]

Nevermind, you are on Transit's level lol

[nova needle]

Yea

[dull granite]

whats up with that

[waxen verge]

I apologize for not being able to see deleted messages like you expect me to

[nova needle]

Back to TC1 again

[dull granite]

just install questionable 3rd party discord apps lmao

[graceful burrow]

No I meant him deleting it is cringe

[waxen verge]

Ah, okay. That's fair.

Pardon me.

[graceful burrow]

Say what you mean and mean what you say
Deleting messages is cowardly

[stoic beacon]

Crypto =/= encryption.

No....no you don't.

[nova needle]

I see what you did there, mae

Or in this case, saw

[spice pine]

you can see deleted messages? 👀

[graceful burrow]

Bannable here

[hot tartan]

Yeah my bad

[spice pine]

third party clients are not allowed 'round these parts

[nova needle]

I have 4 eyes, I see everything

[hot tartan]

I think you read that wrong

[graceful burrow]

I was just telling you

If I was gonna mod ping I would have just mod pinged

[waxen verge]

Also this is just false, there's only a single instance of you doing this, and you went back to throwing fuel in the fire when he came back from his break.

(I apologize for the slow typing BTW, I'm in a situation rn)

Sure thing.

Cheers, then.👋

[lapis solstice]

Tbh, if you scroll back up to the convo, aldonist clearly disagreed with transit, and said he might have been misinformed. But apparently transit didn't like it. Not sure how that is harassment. He might have been harassed earlier, certainly not in that convo

[stoic beacon]

Transit's MO is being told they're wrong and then freaking out

[polar fern]

Oh boy, we’re supposed to have a winter storm

Actually winter storm with actual snow

It has been awhile since we’ve had actual snow here more than just a couple inches, so

Should be interesting

In my life lifespan, we’ve gone from having snow days with the school districts when there like a foot of snow to cancel school the day before, and end up being like a dusting of snow

If the power goes out again, I’m going to be genuinely angry

[harsh quartz]

Wimp

This is a delightful joke hoodie and I am thinking of grabbing it... Despite not liking Milwaukee or milk in tea.

[hot tartan]

Why were you checking it with your hand

[polar fern]

👍

How hot was it?

[hot tartan]

Use HWINFO64 it might show vrm temps

[polar fern]

I wonder what kind kind of monitors and mounts they use at the esa mocr

I can go poke at HWINFO64 to see if it’s on there

[waxen verge]

Wow, well that just happened.

[polar fern]

Sorry I was making tea didn’t get a chance to poke at it yet

😨

[uncut notch]

hi

[thorny juniper]

yay

[dusk sorrel]

hi

[long briar]

how is it that so many people want to create drama

Like just shut up guys

Literally poking a bomb seeing if it'll blow up

Not a fucking ounce of common sense

[spice pine]

pretty sure this is just stupid bait to get people mad for no reason - also, there’s a solid first amendment argument here

okay, but… why?

[long briar]

that also means we can go hunting right

[spice pine]

???

[long briar]

heh.

[spice pine]

genuinely what do you mean by this

i mean i don’t see the humor in it in general, who cares what some kids who like cartoon animals do

[long briar]

nvm it's not good if I explain it

[long briar]

that's not what they're talking about though

we're talking about people who can make rational decisions choosing to identify as an animal?

[spice pine]

that’s quite literally exactly what the article says

[long briar]

Yes, unfortunately

[spice pine]

this article is about kids playing make-believe at school or just being a furry lmao there’s literally nothing wrong with any of it, i don’t see why the hell it’s some political debate at this point

it’s asinine

[long briar]

it's not about what they "like", Halloween costumes literally have been at it for decades. It's about identity... like everything is nowadays

[spice pine]

i mean i don’t think anything more than it’s asinine that it even got this far, or that anyone thinks it’s worth engaging with at any level

[long briar]

...

[restive lion]

Sorry the internet doesn't do satire

[long briar]

The fact government has to deal with this kinda bs

is funny

[spice pine]

sorry i didn’t understand you posting a link with literally no context was a joke?

[long briar]

I don't get why that's so hard to understand

rip

[spice pine]

the article is barely a paragraph long what are you on about

[long briar]

the moment you see "bill" and "furries" should be enough

It's ok

everything is fine

[dusky jacinth]

Looks fake, lol.

[long briar]

it's acc legit

[spice pine]

it's spelled mae, btw, not sure what your problem with me is, i just don't understand what's supposed to be funny about any of it. it's a bit outlandish that someone's proposing this as a law, sure, but like... 🤷‍♀️

[fossil frost]

tbh, it wouldnt need to be a law, it wouldnt even need to be a local ordinance. basic school rules say that you have to dress in a certain way at school... if you dont, you can be sent home

[sharp pond]

Hello all

[dusky jacinth]

I wouldn't do that either if you don't want turnabout to become fair game. Lmao.

[spice pine]

cool, just nerd react instead of talking about it, got it

[long briar]

https://legiscan.com/OK/text/HB3084/id/2884290

[dusky jacinth]

[spice pine]

i doubt there's any evidence of it being an actual problem, on top of that lmao

[long briar]

...

[fossil frost]

i couldnt give any sort of a shit about that, im just commenting on the absurdity of the absurd joke

[dusky jacinth]

Same.

It's absolutely stupid, even if it were a thing, which is the joke in itself.
It just can't be taken seriously by literally anybody and shouldn't be.

[manic torrent]

It's not funny, it's depressing and terrible

[dusky jacinth]

^That's also the reality of it too if it was real.

[spice pine]

I felt like I was going crazy, this just seems like adults trying to bully kids who are into the furry community

[long briar]

.

[spice pine]

this proposed law is also completely vague and misinformed

[manic torrent]

and making stuff up to be mad at - but in the process just fucking up everything

[fossil frost]

tbh, its where it comes from, not just the country, but the state too, is what makes the joke believable. and what makes it so easy for gullible people to believe

[spice pine]

but like, this is an actual proposed law, it's not a joke

[dusky jacinth]

I hang around the furry community without being one myself and stuff like this usually makes my blood boil because it's pathetic, stupid, and unfair no matter how you look at it.

[manic torrent]

"but I wasn't being stupid and hateful to anyone, I was just making a joke"

[fossil frost]

ohh crap, i assumed it was a spoof site.. its not a spoof site... its actually a thing https://legiscan.com/OK/text/HB3084/2024

[long briar]

guys the joke is that this is a topic in a gov't, not that furries in or any regulations pertaining to it is a joke....

[fossil frost]

ok, i take it all back, its not funny, its not absurd... its just fucking stupid

[long briar]

I just sent that...

[long briar]

right here

[dusky jacinth]

I'm not the one who made it.
And I still stand by my statement that it's pathetic anyway.

[fossil frost]

tbh, ass backwards proposal from an ass backwards representative in an ass backwards state, in an ass backwards country... straight up fucking stupid

[long briar]

The issue in of itself is actually a devastating symptom of something in society.

[manic torrent]

you hadn't said anything for ages and I cbf scrolling

yeah basically.

[spice pine]

i still don't really understand what the joke was supposed to be other than "lets make fun of furries"

[manic torrent]

I'm also a big fan of how you act like a child, and then claim that people are "young sheldon" as a pejorative.

[polar fern]

As much as I loathe SpaceX, I really hope that axiom space can use their partnership to get where they need to get in a few years. Pretty exciting stuff

[long briar]

Let's make fun of the government proposing such stupid bills

[dusky jacinth]

The country's technically split with what kind of stupid things pass and don't. Oklahoma can be backwards, and then you have places like Florida that try to be conservative... And then we have some of the most bizarre and unwanted people ever that makes even us wish Florida didn't exist as a state sometimes.

[manic torrent]

except even then - it's not funny, it's horrifying

[manic torrent]

yes, but perhaps the social deficiencies are ... on your side.

[fossil frost]

if you have to dissect humour and overly explain it... it was never funny in the first place

[harsh bane]

Esa?

[spice pine]

crazy almost like there's a bunch of people here who didn't really understand the humor in something as awful as that. 🤷‍♀️

[polar fern]

European space agency

[harsh bane]

Ah

[fossil frost]

no, its a very very common axiom of comedy, if you have to explain a joke, its not funny

[polar fern]

Sometimes, if you do explain the joke, it’s even funnier though

[manic torrent]

.... we got what was SUPPOSED to be funny, but it is more tragic than funny.

I did not see that anywhere in this conversation, at all.

<@&750150305383186585> I feel like it's pretty obvious at this point.

[long briar]

anyway has anyone used tiny11

[spice pine]

and there's something wrong with that?

[manic torrent]

.... a) no shit you fucking idiot, it's a tech server
b) that really doesn't have any relevance to the actual issue

[fossil frost]

yep, makes no difference to performance of anything, except that its harder to use and less secure

[long briar]

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585> just abusive now

[harsh bane]

I wanted to report it

To dangecord

To discord

Ravy api

[chrome vector]

Ye won't find answers in this cursed land. Set sail south for tech chat.

[fossil frost]

#linux might be a better place to ask

or the ubuntu discord server

[harsh bane]

Bruh

Fedora server is the worst thing ever created

You get warned to say hello lol

But I can’t talk more about that

[stoic beacon]

Fedora and Arch are brutal communities.

[harsh bane]

Ye

I use fedora btw

[dusky jacinth]

And I still use Solus. Lol.

[fossil frost]

as much as people dislike ubuntu these days, because its "the popular distro"... the community, especially the discord server, is very helpful, and will help out with general linux issues on top of ubuntu specific issues

[harsh bane]

Ah

[long briar]

I dunno Linux just doesn't play well with anything remotely proprietary

[stoic beacon]

Ubuntu and Mint are the only ones I'll really touch at this point. I messed around with Debian for a bit, but any time I asked for help, people were just mean. Not Arch and Fedora levels of mean, but still

The reasons why people dislike Ubuntu are invalid, as far as I can tell. I understand where they're coming from, but it's stupid to scare people back to Windows over Ubuntu's "issues."

[harsh bane]

Apt packages are terrible

[fossil frost]

ubuntu is still close enough to debian to make debian fine to use... but... debian is glacially slow to progress with anything

[fossil frost]

apt is fine... shits all over yum

emerge from gentoo is the best though

[stoic beacon]

See, and that alone is enough to make me not care

Ubuntu and Mint immediately work on every device I put them on

Don't have to search for anything, don't have to troubleshoot brightness controls or weird driver issues

[fossil frost]

kali is a set of apps that is installed on top of xubuntu, not debian

ubuntu is debian based, kali is ubuntu based

so indirectly, it is debian based

[dusky jacinth]

That's kind of the only drawback with Ubuntu, being a spin of Debian.
Debian devs take their time with updates and Ubuntu can only go as quickly as that rate goes, unless it's just to maintain their own stuff they add on.

[stoic beacon]

Believe it or not, most people want stability in their operating systems, so slow is okay

I don't need a new feature every six hours

[dusky jacinth]

Which is why they do it and that's totally fair.

[fossil frost]

tbh, we are not far away from ubuntu becoming its own root linux distro that is fully forked away from debian reliance

[dusky jacinth]

It makes a ton of sense.

[manic torrent]

kali is awesome for kiddies to feel edgy and cool

[dusky jacinth]

That's gonna be interesting to see then.

[stoic beacon]

Sorry, but you're wrong. I know that you probably define most people as "ME ME ME" but that's not the case here...

[fossil frost]

yep, people think it will do all the work for them, then they realise that all it is, is all the logging tools and some start menu shortcuts that are installed by default... and you still have to actually do all the work yourself

wifite is just automated airmon, airscan and aircrack

[stoic beacon]

If you can do stuff, you can do stuff, and if you can't, you can't. It's very simple, and there's no point in worrying beyond that.

I'm not saying ignore them. I'm saying that you should stop caring about what they say and more about what they do

Yeah, effectively, don't compare yourself to them, just keep doing what you're doing, and be honest about the effort you're giving it

[fossil frost]

i spent an entire work day today procrastinating on discord 🙂

[manic torrent]

"knowing how it works" is not binary.

yeah they do not know how it works

[strange ruin]

I had someone say yesterday that my computer had a virus when I disabled all startup services

[lilac bear]

Minecraft hacking

[strange ruin]

they know nothing and literally did not help my issue. I enabled alternate signon with registry and it fixed it

[fossil frost]

depending on what hes doing, it could be hacking

modding your gamesave files.. is hacking

breaking into government computers... also hacking

making your hardware do things it wasnt originally intended to do... hacking

changing some settings in minecraft? not hacking

[strange ruin]

Social engineering... ha

[fossil frost]

i hate having to sit through those seminars on social engineering at work... having to sit through hours of course material on how not to be a gullible dumbass...

if you dont know what social engineering is. you dont know what hacking is... sorry to tell you that

[strange ruin]

I find it funny that it is manipulation not social engineering.

the term was created to justify manipulating people for a living

yep there are tons of "pen testers" that just try to manipulate people

like it's so funny

[manic torrent]

....

I mean, out of the two of us, one of us certainly works in cyber security.

yes

[shut birch]

[manic torrent]

I've done many different things, currently working in a company, mostly focused on backups and authentication.

I have done some, but I didn't want to 🙂 - unless you're an expert focusing on writing crypto code, you shouldn't.

This is why modern ciphers are vector based

tldr you can't crack vector encryption with a quantum computer

[strange ruin]

So I found the definition for "Social engineering" and you can literally replace every word with manipulation to make a better definition

Manipulation testing is a type of manipulation that focuses on human vulnerabilities. In this unique approach, the focus shifts to the vulnerabilities found within human nature itself. It is a technique that uses manipulation tactics to attempt to gain access to a system or network.

[manic torrent]

wow, now you only have to convince literally everyone in the entire industry that you are more correct than them.

[strange ruin]

Social engineering is making something social

[manic torrent]

I'm not even saying you're wrong - but words are only useful to communicate with other people

[strange ruin]

it should be used for dating, friend outings other things

[manic torrent]

"guys I just make up my own definitions for words and phrases"

[strange ruin]

? it makes sense based on Social's definition and engineering

[twin verge]

Why is buying anything tech related these days so bloody complicated, I just want to get a TV but there are so many panels and formats its hard to know what to look for and looking online for reviews is bloody useless because they either shill for one brand or cant agree on anything

[strange ruin]

you all did when you changed manipulation to "social engineering"

[manic torrent]

yes. it was me personally. I did it just to annoy you

[manic torrent]

the good news is that it's hard to buy a shit TV

[vapid smelt]

yikes ltt is using British English

[twin verge]

Is getting HDR10+ or Dolby Vison better/worth it?

[manic torrent]

depends on your use case tbh

[twin verge]

Gaming (not professionally), watching films and tv shows on Amazon Prime/netflix also stuff from as far back as the 1970s lol

If you want to pay for it XD

I have no idea lol I never look at stuff like that

[bright silo]

I like TCL/HiSense/Roku TVs for their price/performance in general. I own two TCLs.

Am sad that Roku is shifting to making their own TVs and not partnering with other OEMs

[manic torrent]

Rewording? Rewording what? Your comment? I was writing it at the same time.

[bright silo]

Speaking of research… I think I’ll need new headphones sooner or later… mine are disintegrating lol

[velvet marsh]

It's probably still just a TCL or Hisense panel

[bright silo]

I don’t think they make panels…

But yes they may use the same panel

[velvet marsh]

Hisense does make panels

Ahh yeah both Hisense and TCL make panels

[velvet marsh]

What's your budget?

[twin verge]

About €3k

[velvet marsh]

And what size are you looking for?

[twin verge]

65" maybe 75"

[velvet marsh]

I would look at the 77 C3 or 77 A80L

C3 is LG, A80L is Sony

[twin verge]

Ok cheers

[velvet marsh]

Honestly between the two, go with the cheaper option

[white pawn]

LG C3 for OLED, dunno what to tell ya for anyting else 😛 oh, don;t buy samung since they get the spotlight of death 😛

well, i have a coupel hisense that are fantastic, but my idea of great is different than a lot of peoples 😛

[prisma snow]

Hello 🙂

[bright silo]

Hot take: I think OLED is overrated tbh

[manic torrent]

have you used an oled display...

[bright silo]

I’ve used my brothers, yes

I don’t dispute OLED is better but it’s not something I really notice the most while consuming content unless I think about it.

[manic torrent]

I would say that's highly dependant on content and context - as a lounge TV where you're just... watching stuff? sure. yes

[bright silo]

If I had to make an analogy. My $20 earbuds sound good enough. I don’t doubt $200 ones sound better but would I really notice the difference most the time? Especially at 10x the cost?

[velvet marsh]

With a good setup oled changes the way you watch movies. I don't even want to go to a theater most of the time because it's much worse

[sharp steeple]

That's an example where I'd suspect yes, even more so.

[sharp steeple]

My Oppenheimer 70mm IMAX film experience was awful. Just PQ critiquing the whole time, I was not impressed.

[vapid smelt]

theaters are way to loud

[bright silo]

Idk I just can’t justify OLED pricing over a quality QLED LCD for 1/2 or 1/3 the price at minimum

[velvet marsh]

A good Qled with fald is going to be in the same price range as an oled

[leaden gale]

[velvet marsh]

I haven't watched Oppenheimer yet

[leaden gale]

It was that bad?

[sharp steeple]

It was cool in that theater for other reasons, the size and scope of 70mm IMAX projection but the actual IQ was distractingly poor.

Seeing it now in 4K Bluray on a well calibrated OLED is night and day different.

[bright silo]

Depends on size I guess. Idk my 55” QLED was $300 for 56 zones iirc. Not the best but I mean

[vapid smelt]

im tempted to get a mini led tv so i can actually watch hdr content

[sharp steeple]

56 zones is in the can't properly display HDR range.

[velvet marsh]

Which tv?

That sounds like it's like 400 nits

[bright silo]

TCL 55S555

[velvet marsh]

ahh yeah. looks like 30 actual zones, and 450 nits

[sharp steeple]

Still one of the best things going for non-OLED in the 55" range.

[gilded quest]

That's one of the tv model names of all time

[sharp steeple]

At least at a decent price.

[velvet marsh]

My biggest issue with TCLs tvs is their upscaler is dog water

[desert hamlet]

Weeeeeeee

[vapid smelt]

damnit i missed the sale!

[desert hamlet]

Rip

[vapid smelt]

could i bum $110,000 from someone?

[desert hamlet]

Bruh I don't even have 1$

[full fossil]

Getting old is realising that a 10 bucks keyboard is better than a $150 one lol. The keys on most mechanical boards are way too bulky casual typing.

[bright silo]

That’s an interesting take

[manic torrent]

... I'm 42 and I have a pile of mechanical keyboards....

[full fossil]

They're no good for typing and general light computer use. Gaming I suppose they have their place but a low profile membrane keyboard is far better than mechanical

[peak phoenix]

You get used to a keyboard. Cherry profile keys are perfect for regular typing.

[manic torrent]

I mean, you can enjoy whatever keyboard you like, it's entirely preference, but you have no idea what you're talking about generally

[peak phoenix]

That said you can always get any of the flat profiles like XDA, DSA and such

[iron hatch]

why is my ethernet saying its connected and everyone but its not giving me any internet?

it says no network access but it says its connected

????

[leaden gale]

I mean, you're welcome to your own preferences, but saying mechanicals are "no good for typing and general light computer use" is outright wrong

[manic torrent]

because it's electrically connected, but there is no internet accessible.

[peak phoenix]

Windows hits some specific URL to test internet connection. That is failing. You likely don't have the NIC set up correctly, or have no internet.

[iron hatch]

If ffxiv existed on xbox, that's the game i'd go with, but it don't 🙃
I also really liked wow and osrs. I also played a bit of eso, but didnt get into it, because it didnt feel finished.

@pulsar ginkgo try one of those online games like FC24 or NBA2k or maybe idk does mortal Kombat or Tekken have online modes? Maybe you could just slowly master some of those

So tech chat is a lil busy so I’m posting this again here. I wanna get my girlfriend some noise canceling headphones for her birthday coming up since we live in a studio apartment together and when she’s doing nursing school homework she gets distracted by the TV.

[ionic abyss]

the retro tink better be great

$750 for the darn thing

i have a fully working 1080 crt 36" that will not be moved

partly because the thing weighs just under 300lbs and they dont make a tv cabnet that fits it now!

it was moved to put the 65" oled in that took 2 people to get it onto a dolly to move it

lets say getting it back in the stand was unpleasant

[harsh quartz]

Not really, but if you believe that then you must know if some right? And in that case, why are you asking for suggestions here?

[polar fern]

1080i crt?

[peak phoenix]

Why not get yourself headphones so the TV can be quiet for her to study?

[polar fern]

I think it’s more about her being able to focus while he can do other stuff around the house

[full fossil]

You are delusional

[leaden gale]

And you're insufferably short-sighted

Just for context, I type regularly on both a mechanical linear keyboard and a low-profile membrane keyboard, both of which I highly enjoy typing on

[full fossil]

So you're lacking imagination or foresight?

[visual nebula]

Model M's are amazing for typing

[leaden gale]

Holy shit, projecting much?

[spice pine]

That's pretentious

[visual nebula]

The click for every key press gives you certainty the key hit and the clunk oh the clunk

[leaden gale]

Nah, you're not allowed to enjoy the Model M because only low-profile membrane keyboards are good for "typing and general light computer use"

[full fossil]

Divergent preferences in keyboard acoustics manifest, with some favoring audible clicks, while others prioritize a quieter tactile experience.

[spice pine]

as someone who does surprisingly little gaming on my pc; I much prefer a mechanical keyboard because it helps with accuracy a ton, not to mention half of the membrane keyboards i've used in my life had the shelf life of a wet paper towel

[harsh quartz]

I feel like you have no fingers

[spice pine]

saying that mechanical keyboards are "no good" for typing and general use is just an asinine statement, tbh. have your preference, i guess, but acting like you're objectively right is...

[ionic abyss]

and many game systems

[hearty spear]

for most people, if they spent a week getting used to a halfway decent mechanical keyboard, they'd end up liking it more than membrane.
Mushy typing ends up feeling gross.

[steel marsh]

bbc micro computer model b

then they had the master computer

[ionic abyss]

i have a bbc micro but i dont know the model

[steel marsh]

might be a model b

[ionic abyss]

its a more recent aquistion

[steel marsh]

the master variant is more rare i think

it was for businesses and such

[harsh quartz]

Let’s go back to calling computers by their size or some arbitrary thing about them

[manic torrent]

I was typing on a buckling spring keyboard in the 90s. The entire CONCEPT of a gaming keyboard literally didn't exist.

[steel marsh]

would you say the first company to do gaming keyboard would be logitech ?

[ionic abyss]

no it was razor

i think

[steel marsh]

though mechanical switches had been around for years at that point

[ionic abyss]

the razor turantula was the first "gaming" keyboard

[steel marsh]

plus the razer boomslang the first gaming mouse

[chrome vector]

Being a gamer was for very uncool lame boys who preferred their computers beige

[manic torrent]

awwwww yeah

[manic torrent]

decades

[steel marsh]

yea def

[harsh quartz]

Why the fuck is it 8 minutes

[manic torrent]

why the fuck not

[harsh quartz]

Why wasn’t sultans of swing 8 minutes then

[manic torrent]

because "we are the sultans of swing" doesn't need 8 minutes to hit

[harsh quartz]

Neither does money for nothing, that’s why the music video, which is a fuckin goldmine, is only 4 minutes

[manic torrent]

time to play this new fangled forza 5 game thingy

[vapid smelt]

its just the same game as forza 1

[shut lichen]

a lot of older songs were long, you just never heard them because of radio versions

and you'll definitely never hear this version played pretty much anywhere anymore, they've since re-made it with a couple of sections taken out due to the words used

[vapid smelt]

long like my D||edicated gpu||

[harsh quartz]

And most I understand, but I wouldn’t have thought that that song would’ve been double the length

[shut lichen]

people actually liked playing instruments back then

[harsh quartz]

Imagine playing an instrument

[alpine gale]

Speaking of lengthy songs that had multiple productions of varying lengths...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKTUAESacQM
I still remember being a little surprised to hear the full 14 minute version played in a Starbucks back when I used to work from one on some afternoons years ago. Not something I'd expect to be played in a coffee shop, chain or mom & pop.

Also still surprised to learn it was allegedly recorded in a single take. 👀

[shut lichen]

there's also ed sheeran's you need me I don't need you
a couple of studio recordings, one 4 minutes and one about 3 and a half, and then the like 10 minute live version

[harsh quartz]

I have and will never understand the appeal of his music

[shut lichen]

smh

[harsh quartz]

Except the bad habits with being me the horizon, that wasn’t bad

[shut lichen]

clearly never listened to the live stuff

[harsh quartz]

Don’t like live music 🤷‍♂️

[steel marsh]

ed sheeran's version of fairytale of new york sucks

they missed the point of the song

[harsh quartz]

Oh I actually did see this performed live by the local orchestra, the conductor is German and sang it, was really good

[vapid smelt]

fixed

[steel marsh]

but his version of the song sucks compared to the original mainly because the original song is about the struggle of irish immigrants in america

[harsh quartz]

Yes but so does his other stuff

Even without the subtext

[steel marsh]

ye

[shut lichen]

"I don't like it, so it sucks"

[harsh quartz]
