best raid setup for a plex server 321 go!!!!

no actually though I caught the plex bug. and I currently dont have my data with any redundancy. I was thinking maybe raid 5. I would do raid 6 but I dont have a DAS or NAS so I only really have room for like 3 hard drives. maybe 5 if I start zip tying them to the damn chassi

[manic torrent]

Best? probably a series of RAIDZ3s in a 45 drives chassis or similar

[fierce moth]

Nah jbod with a crazy overkill host system

[signal sleet]

Good morning all

the ltt screwdriver comes with the standard set right?

[graceful burrow]

I bet the product page tells you

[gray matrix]

RAID0

[graceful burrow]

It's spelled radio

that would be ridiculous

nah apparently i just couldn't read. i thought this said it works with the standard bit set

Am i the only one here who loves Vista?

[wispy marsh]

I've used it more than my time with xp, 7 and 8.0 combined

[covert zephyr]

Nice! Im actually fixing up an old Vista HP rn

Im gonna add more ram

[wispy marsh]

Nice

I think 7+ has standardised drivers, I'm not sure

[fierce moth]

Man the first os I fully used was vista

Nothin but good memories

[manic torrent]

The first OS I used was CP/M

[covert zephyr]

I got up to 3.50GB

Thats the most i can get

[wispy marsh]

Mine's win98

[neon mesa]

Not as old but still old OS, Windows XP

is CP/M like identical to DOS considering DOS is a ripoff of it

[manic torrent]

No, but for your reference purposes... It's close enough

[neon mesa]

back then when i was younger, windows 7 still barely scraping around
every PC i know my whole life uses XP
my first time using 7 i hated it because my favorite XP pinball game isn't there

though eventually i end up loving Windows 7 built in games

[neon mesa]

Is the difference like the difference between Linux and windows or more like the difference between linux distros

[manic torrent]

Closer to the difference between Linux distros.

[neon mesa]

An app made for DOS would work on CP/M and vice versa?

[desert dagger]

no

To unlock the booloader of a miui device I need to create a xiaomi account and give my phone number (??????????!!!!!!!!!???!!!), is there any way I can give a fake phone number ?

[dreamy rose]

sure, just put the funny numbers on the back of your credit card in there and it will work

[green kernel]

cp/m is completely different artetecture, usually Motorola 68000 derived
dos can be cross platform
for example commadore had dos on 6502 based cpus
while ibm pcs and clones had intel x86 artetecture cpus(basically starting from intel 8080)

Is Ryzen 5 3600 with Rx 480 and 16 gb ram 3200 MHz stronger than Ryzen 5 1600 Rx 570 8 gb ram? Yes right?

[dreamy rose]

huh

[dreamy rose]

you mean stronger?

[fossil frost]

depends what you are doing with each system

[sour merlin]

Yh, stronger. Autocorrect hit me

[sour merlin]

Games and stuff

[fossil frost]

as i said, it depends on what you are doing

cpu bound games, you want the better cpu, gpu bound games, you want the 480 and just OC it slightly because thats all a 570/580 is 😄

but if you are not comfortable OCing it, then you want the 570

[sour merlin]

I just wanted to compare my build with my friends build

[green kernel]

3600 and rx480 is muuuch better

[sour merlin]

How much overclocking is safe

[green kernel]

as long as your gpu stable and not overheating you are fine

[sour merlin]

Never OCed before, only my monitor

[sand igloo]

Depends on voltage, really.

[dreamy rose]

would probably take the 570 system and throw a 5000 series chip in it.

[green kernel]

480 = 570 lol

[dreamy rose]

but the 480 is slightly worse

[sour merlin]

Wanted to know if my build is gonna be better than my friends build in terms of fps

[dreamy rose]

which ones yours?

[sour merlin]

R5 3600 Rx 480

[dreamy rose]

either one, id throw something like a 5600 or somesuch in it

[sour merlin]

No money

[dreamy rose]

any of the X3D Varients even

[sour merlin]

I'm happy with the 3600, cuz my CPU rn is FX 8350

Waiting for my r5 3600, b450m HDV and 16gb 2x8 Kingston beast fury to arrive

Hey it's bionic

[manic torrent]

He lost his capitals.

I'd ask why, but I don't fucking care.

[dreamy rose]

yes. but why on earth are they still stocking that?

[wispy marsh]

A nation, no man alone is.

Capitals rise and fall with time

Has he found a mate?

[dreamy rose]

discord hates having a username thats your actual own. fuck discord.

[wispy marsh]

Grats bionic when kid

[manic torrent]

that makes no sense whatsoever

[carmine stirrup]

It does?

[manic torrent]

if you have brain worms it does

[dreamy rose]

thats why i am no longer BionicSeaSerpent#1052 and instead have to be forced being the thing it is now.

[carmine stirrup]

Oh! You don't mean your real name

[dreamy rose]

because they wanna change the naming system. for what reason?

[carmine stirrup]

Gotcha

[manic torrent]

oh, I get it, you didn't understand the change in discord and you fucked it up.

[vapid moss]

so going from one of 10k possible names with a number to something that is unique to you?

[dreamy rose]

more like it wouldn't let me put capitals in my fucking name for some reason. when i was forced to change the damn thing after saying no.

[vapid moss]

no one got capitals

[manic torrent]

On the contrary, you fucked it up. See how these two things are different?

[dreamy rose]

thats not me fucking it up thats discord being ridiculous. making you type it over again.

[manic torrent]

is it possible you are a boomer? because this is some big boomer energy right here

[dreamy rose]

if i want my name to be BionicSeaSerpent, i type it like that, and it uses it like that. you don't need to make people type the fucking thing twice.

tbf that one was pretty obvious. you should have been able to see it on your own. but not eveyone is able to spot a scam.

[wispy marsh]

Hmm, i'd trust it.

Buuuuuuuuut. Bots can fake reviews, too

isn't the MSRP at like 975?

975 should be amd's own units. The chips that AMD sells OEMs cannot meet that msrp

What to do since paramount plus have issues with old ncis tv show on nvidia shield and full screen on computer

This is the only way we got it working

[manic torrent]

I suggest whinging about it

[split wasp]

What do you mean

[manic torrent]

I mean your problems are mostly related to doing janky stuff and refusing to change.

[split wasp]

It not me it dad who refuses to change

[hollow scroll]

isnt ncis on disney +

[split wasp]

Nope

[hollow scroll]

It is in the uk

[split wasp]

Not in usa yet I searched for it did not show up

[inland oracle]

dont spend that much money on amazon man

99% of the time its a scam. i got scammed for a CPU on amazon and bought one on a legit site after

you can usually see if its gonna be a scam based on the seller. if it comes from something other than amazon don't buy it

sold by some random company with 5 ratings? no thanks

even if it dispatches from amazon it can still be a counterfeit store page too

just dont risk it

question how do we get suround sound to work from nvida shield to vizio tv to vizio sound bar

[austere shale]

So, I don’t know how to feel about the whole AI nsfw stuff. Like it’s obviously bad because it’s being used to harm people/their reputations. But I also don’t know what laws could really be drawn up about it without it infringing on the first amendment.

[inland oracle]

id assume it could fall under something like libel along with other more extreme defamation laws

the first amendment doesn't give you free reign to damage peoples reputations purposely without consequence

[austere shale]

That is very true, and I know the videos are a whole different story but as far as still images go there is the legal argument to make on how is something “drawn” by a computer different from an actual drawing or painting

[heavy prawn]

I wonder if thermal grizzly kryonaut could impact my temps

[glossy crest]

does anyone happen to have 2x 64 stacks of sticks? I want to make myself 5 stacks of pencils with these

[austere shale]

To add more to this, I see it being very similar to the GTA 5 controversy where Lindsay Lohan tried to sue because of the loading screen. Yes I know they didn’t say it was her people just “thought” it looked like her but I could definitely see some legal similarities

[austere shale]

https://www.mcmaster.com/product/9121K83 there you go, more like it

[glossy crest]

Thanks!

i can make you a full set of lead armor if you want

[austere shale]

Lead hammers are where it’s at, I actually have a bunch of lead bars somewhere around, I was gonna take a pic of them but I can’t find them since I moved shops

When it gets beat up you just re-melt it back to shape. Works wonders when the material you’re working with is soft and a regular ball-peen would damage it

[jaunty compass]

I'm playing Re4R as the least aggressive FBI agent

[gleaming compass]

I wonder if someday youtube will have videos explaining in detail what lead does to the brain

[chrome vector]

Gimme your lead so I can cast more boolets.

[twilit pewter]

just cleaned up my setup, turned out my left speaker was not working well

[austere shale]

There’s a fair amount of them

[gleaming compass]

interesting

[austere shale]

More hammers!

[gleaming compass]

so was lead poisoning considered good or bad?

[austere shale]

Well. I don’t think anybody considers it good

[gleaming compass]

I thought there was some members of Michigan's government that didn't consider it a big deal :P

Hold on I might be able to recreate that video lemme grab some stuff

[gleaming compass]

he should be wearing parachute pants for a hammertime video :P

[gleaming compass]

so out of curiousity, are you from Flint?

[austere shale]

I give you, that video on a much smaller scale

[austere shale]

I am not 💀

[gleaming compass]

but you are exposing yourself on purpose?

[chrome vector]

I've always unironically wanted to try and make an IRL version of a super sledge. I have experience with stupid rocketry, I just wish I had more metal working experience.

Attaching a small rocket to a sledge hammer shouldn't be too hard, though.

[chrome vector]

https://tenor.com/view/random-the-simpsons-simpsons-bart-simpson-random-pants-gif-5727113

[austere shale]

I have access to a manual mill and lathe and possibly soon a personal cnc mill so I’ll make parts💀

[chrome vector]

It may be kill me, but it's worth it to see how a rocket power sledge hammer breaks a watermelon, or better yet, a ballistic dummy

https://tenor.com/view/ballistic-gel-cannonball-gif-6332047421994877095

[austere shale]

Could just throw a G sized model rocket on it, cut it in half so the burn time isn’t so long too

A g size rocket has about 24.39 pounds of thrust behind it so it’s got some ass that’s for sure

[gleaming compass]

you may want to build something to hold/swing the hammer instead of actually doing that yourself

[austere shale]

Could also use one of those bendy sledgehammer handles that the Chinese use

So you wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking your wrists

[gleaming compass]

that sounds so small in comparison the 7.5 million pounds of thrust on a saturn v :P

[austere shale]

That being said I wonder how close the thrust to weight ratios are

Hold on I’m going to math for a minute or two

[gleaming compass]

I thought I heard wolfram alpha calling your name for a moment

[sudden shale]

I'm gonna kick someone in the neck with my shin

[gleaming compass]

uh... which LTT episode did you just watch?

[sudden shale]

How to kick someone, I believe it's a 2018 video

[austere shale]

So, if my calculations are correct the model rocket has roughly an 18,108.82% higher thrust to weight ratio than the Saturn V. That being said that number is just for fun and not meant to be an actual comparison

[sudden shale]

Very informational. Teaches you how to deal with failed setups

[gleaming compass]

so if we could come up with some sort of mount to hold 308 thousand model rockets together, we could make our own improved saturn v?

[austere shale]

“Yes”

[gleaming compass]

you any good at working with carbon fiber?

[austere shale]

Functional? yes, structural? inconclusive

[gleaming compass]

oh, a friend of mine, Stockton Rush, told me that carbon fiber is the way to go :P

[austere shale]

I think it got sent in for repair but for a while on my “to fix” bench was a couple carbon fiber rods for a laser profiler system. Rod was snapped in half because somebody drove the robot off the table .-.

Worst part is that is I think the third time it’s happened

[gleaming compass]

maybe they should use the laser to profile if it is safe to continue forward

they could combine the concept of laser and radar into some futuristic "lidar" thing

[lilac bear]

Hey

[polar fern]

Don’t you work for a financial investment company?

This isn’t really the place to be detailing aspects of your personal life. Perhaps try #off-topic

[covert moth]

ok legit question, how much space does the average consumer actually need? do you think 1TB is more than enough for the average person ?

[polar fern]

“Average person” is a statistical thing, not a real actual person that exists

[covert moth]

true lol

i mean in theory, most ppl dont have huge archives of tv shows/movies/music/games

so i feel like 1TB should be enough

[polar fern]

2 tb good.

[eternal hearth]

20Tb minimum

[covert moth]

but maybe for more "techie" ppl 2TB could be better maybe 4TB.

[covert moth]

yeah exactly

[gilded quest]

I think it's just enough, and some may want 2tb

A lot of people, especially younger people, will do some form of video/photo/gaming

[split wasp]

Unless you have lot of games my 1 tb ssd is full

[polar fern]

4 tb gets weird with performance & pricing

[covert moth]

i feel like tech makers shouldnt offer 128GB and 256 or 512. its kinda... useless and creating e-waste for thoes kinds of chips that most ppl dont use. i feel like it should be now, 1TB, 2TB and 4TB as options for most "tech" devices.

[polar fern]

Yep

[split wasp]

While my dad is perfect happy with 256g and say find stuff to delete lol

[covert moth]

again this is based on tech brands not allowing for microSD card slots anymore 😦 unfortunately

[split wasp]

And say make it 1 tb would just increase cost unnecessary

[polar fern]

512 is fine if it’s the boot drive paired with a larger drive for actual storage

[full fossil]

1Tb for everything

[covert moth]

well at first maybe, but eventually if 1TB becomes the new standard for minimum space on tech objects. the price for creation would drop

its because 1TB isnt the default standard that its still fairly expensive

[summer folio]

990 Pro 4TB was 200$ in Sweden on Black Friday

[full fossil]

[tacit axle]

So i am buying a pc from marketplace and the seller doesnt have any storage for the pc so i have to buy my own storage. What precautions should i take/how can i make sure it works as i csnt test it with an ssd. And if i can test with a bootable drive what should i check for except confirming the specs

[full fossil]

I have a 1Tb MBP and I already used like 1/3 of it

[full fossil]

Always buy a SSD for OS and software. If you need HDD then get at least 1Tb minimum

[covert moth]

i can say for me persnally, 4TB is perfect. i dont need more than that and i have alot of high res audio albums, and quite a few games. i usually keep tv shows and movies on external ssd anyways so i can view either on pc or tv

[full fossil]

4Tb is perfect

[split wasp]

What do you mean he say what is spend all that space and get anger at updates

[summer folio]

Got Windows 7 on an Old 60GB Vertex 2 SSD, works fine

Depends on how you use it. Personally I just buy 1Tb to set it and forget it

[summer folio]

People let strangers inside their home when selling stuff? Thought you met outdoors at public parking lot

[split wasp]

I have 60 gig left and dad just laughed at me he don't see how people can fill 1 tb and say clean it out therr must be worthless files in it

[tacit axle]

Yeah cause I don't need ping just to say hay. After I had not been active in a server for almost a half hour

[polar fern]

Wat

[molten drift]

You... You pinged me saying hay after I was not in convo for almost 30 mins...

So what do you need

[polar fern]

I don’t keep track of time on this thing

[polar fern]

Well I was attempting to be friendly and say hello, since I only see you occasionally on here, but I guess never fucking mind.

[molten drift]

Sweet deal toodles.

[gleaming harbor]

is neon abyss good

[floral ingot]

Hello.
Does anyone know why LMG Clips isn't on Floatplane?

[floral ingot]

Neon Abyss is really fun if you like bullet hell rogue lites 🙂

[gleaming harbor]

fallout 4 good

[floral ingot]

Never really played FT4, sorry 🙂

[white pawn]

not really, AOL was a plague that needed to be stamped out, and like apple, it had it's own cultists.

[stoic beacon]

If I had to guess, the people who are into LTT enough to buy Floatplane probably watch the entire wan show anyways

[floral ingot]

I don't have time for that xD

And I have Floatplane 😛

[crystal flare]

i wonder when the next BYOC LAN will be?

[gilded quest]

So apple is a plague?

[stoic beacon]

I mean, yes and no.

[white pawn]

have you met any of the cultists who will tell you thei are the company that can do no wrong and whoever is CEO walks on water?

[gilded quest]

Everything has its fanboys

Have you ever met sports people?

[spice pine]

most "apple fans" are overexaggerated

"i really like the iPhone 15 pro max" gets read as "The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best phone to ever be invented and every other phone on the market should be blended up and melted down into new 15 Pro Maxes" by some people

[white pawn]

yeah, you don't wanna hear my opinions. let's just say that AT&T no longer sends salespeople to my door at all after i played them the recording of one of them telling me that if i don't watch sports i must be a well, everything but "commie" would get me banned on this server 😛

[gilded quest]

How many government lists are you on bro

[stoic beacon]

No, when I refer to an Apple fan, I really do mean it. The type who actually WILL judge you for not having one, will buy a new one each year, will buy a MacBook Pro 16" just to watch Netflix, etc.

There's a city a few hours north of me called Couer d'Alene, and the Apple cult there is absolutely wild

[white pawn]

me? 3 that I know of for certain 🙂 when you become a subject matter expert for anything in a company that has govt contracts your anonymity is gone

[white pawn]

I'm just outside Atlanta, and there's practically a silent war between the apple cult and everyone else in the tech space here. it's absolutely insane. not that there's not nutjobs on the other side, cause there definitely aree

[gilded quest]

When I was in highschool, being anti apple was a huge part of my personality
It was pretty cringe

[white pawn]

theres a microsoft building that got "vandalized" about a year back, they put apple stickers on all the ground floor windows, and all the cars in the parking decks

[white pawn]

personally, i'm just not a fan of "we're introducing tech that has been around for years, but you should believe we are the first to do it!" that they are oh so careful not to actually say, but heavily imply regularly

god i can't wait for m new keyboard to arrive, the keyspacing on this one sucks

[stoic beacon]

It's the hypocrisy that makes me hate Apple, personally. That's not the reason I don't use their devices very much, but it's why I hate the company.

[eternal hearth]

I hate all tech equally but apple just extra more

[gilded quest]

Maybe I'm a cynic but all tech companies seem to copy each other all the time

[white pawn]

LOL i'm both with you and not at the same time, i love how tech COULD be used to improve just about everything for everyone, but i hate how gatekeepy everyone gets about it, if that makes sense

[white pawn]

yeah, that's it exactly. they always wanna rewrite history to make themselves look better, without actually changing anything

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, Google locking cloud based features to the Pro models of their phones is pretty insane.

[gilded quest]

Speaking of tech (not at all)
Why do I have to sign for a Lego delivery

[white pawn]

Because Lego is the God-Toy? 🙂

[gilded quest]

This is the smallest order from Lego I've made and now I'm forced to wait for UPS to show up so I can acknowledge I exist in order to get my package

[white pawn]

honestly it's probably because i read somewhere that lego is one of the most stolen delivery items that isn't an electronic device

[gilded quest]

Never had to do that before for non electronics

[eternal hearth]

technology is amazing but those few times I've tried to do trivial things on apple device is just impossible

[gilded quest]

Sure, but everything I've gotten from lego.com is in the most generic brown cardboard box ever

[white pawn]

what bugs me is samsung is going the apple route with settings, and burying everything in piles and piles of menus

[gilded quest]

Ugh I want a 1TB galaxy fold
Would be the perfect Lightroom machine

[white pawn]

but you can shake it and hear em moving inside. apparently a lot of stuff that gets stolen from doorsteps gets dropped within a couple miles or less

theres a dumpster near me that is actually known on nextdoor as the place to get your packages back from if it isn;t kept by the thieves 😛

[eternal hearth]

just when I get used to the operating system and things are stable they just mess everything up and remove features in the next update 🙃

[gilded quest]

Haven't had an issue with package thieves in my new neighborhood

[white pawn]

yeah, i use the goodlock and stuff to fix a lot of that on my phones, but i also write a lot of custom stuff to do things like organize the settings menu intelligently and stuff

[vapid smelt]

[white pawn]

since i put up the big signs on my property saying "Smile, You're on Camera! :)" theres a been a major drop in stuff being stolen in my neighborhood, but apparently in a circle around us its kinda bad

[vapid smelt]

Back in the good old days you would be a knight invading countries

[white pawn]

i mean, technically they have a king, knighthood isn't off the table if ya wanna go invade someone 😛

[undone aspen]

i had a job last summer but i was made redundent

it was 5.28 a hour

12-12

breaking child labour laws im pretty sure

[white pawn]

oh, i've gotten that same excuse for being fired, it really can mess with your head

[gilded quest]

Hello chat

[manic torrent]

hello. I'd reconsider your "about me" in your profile, It's like a 12 year old attempted to be edgy in 2014.

[spice pine]

Someone should ping a mod about that. Certainly isn't welcome here.

[raven mauve]

Good lord fine I’ll change it

Not like it’s a joke or anything

[spice pine]

Jokes are supposed to be funny. That's just punching down on two marginalized groups.

[raven mauve]

I respectfully disagree

But I changed it so we’re good

[stoic beacon]

And you are factually, wrong.

[spice pine]

Nothing respectful about you being an ableist jackass. But go off.

[raven mauve]

[spice pine]

People these days, smh.

[meager herald]

this lowkey sounds like twitter

[raven mauve]

A lot of discord servers sound like twitter tbh

[meager herald]

true

[manic torrent]

yeah man I hate it when people ask me to be be all "respectful". I thought this was america!

also I don't know if you've seen twitter recently, but it's a complete dumpster fire.

[meager herald]

no just the choice of words reminded me of twitter

[meager herald]

havent been on there in a couple months a lot of people moved to bluesky though

[manic torrent]

yeah it turns out when you fire all the moderation team etc and the owner amplifies certain message types, the entire thing accelerates to a certain type of discourse

[gleaming harbor]

back then when i had twitter, tweetdeck was free

now i need a ducking subsciption

[raven mauve]

Twitter was always trash

The cesspit of the internet

[manic torrent]

yeah they were all "woke" and shit. tryna tell me how to talk. I don't like it!

[raven mauve]

Wokeness has messed up too many things

Even Disney got hit lol

[spice pine]

i lowkey don't care

keep your bullshit hate to yourself

[manic torrent]

I hate it when my services get ... checks notes

[raven mauve]

Wokeness messed up my sleep so I had to get up

[meager herald]

i wasnt even hating was just a remark lol

[raven mauve]

[manic torrent]

I hate it when I say things and then people interpret them and respond!?

theres.....something to that

but ppl really get triggered way too easily sometimes

[raven mauve]

[meager herald]

like i didnt even say anything remotely hateful

[raven mauve]

Lotta snowflakes

[meager herald]

i just said this reminds me of twitter

[manic torrent]

This here fancy language and learning is not ok. Everyone needs to talk real simple now, because I can't understand, and when I can't understand, I get violent.

[meager herald]

[spice pine]

so true.

[meager herald]

the hard r ...holy fk thats. no one should use that

[manic torrent]

and then you defended it and said it was a joke

[raven mauve]

Yall taking things not even involving you and acting like your a victim of some horrible hate crime

[spice pine]

well, whisp here had it in their bio as a "pronouns" joke - so... 🤷‍♀️

[raven mauve]

Cause it was ya big goofball

[meager herald]

wait r as in like hard r or as in the other thing where you use it to call people dumb

[manic torrent]

So I can only be offended by things directly involving me, personally?

[merry nacelle]

Im definitely going to try

[raven mauve]

My wallet is already empty m8

[manic torrent]

40 series is all extremely questionable value

[raven mauve]

When does the 4080 super release?

[merry nacelle]

Tomorrow

[raven mauve]

I already burned my wallet with my 4060 purchase

Yeah

It’s solid for 1080

Which is all I play at so

It’s a good gpu

Little on the pricy side though

Thanks lmao

Hell yeah

That sounds hella good

[manic torrent]

oh god, children have infested the chat. bbl.

[raven mauve]

[manic torrent]

yes, children

[raven mauve]

Fair enough

Yeah I’m old buddy

[spice pine]

this one's going straight to the discord report function

[raven mauve]

I bet you’re fun at parties

[manic torrent]

It's ok you act like you are 10

[raven mauve]

Why are you so angry bro

Take a chill pill

[manic torrent]

because I am living in the world today, and I'm not blissfully unaware

[spice pine]

god, to be blissfully unaware

[raven mauve]

What does that have to do with anything

Congratulation you did a normal adult thing

[peak phoenix]

When people start calling you bro/bruv I think it's time to stop responding

[peak phoenix]

What did it say?

[manic torrent]

That you ask this shows you are blissfully unaware. I'm jealous

[raven mauve]

@manic torrent look I’m sorry if I offended you but for the love of god just calm down ok?

I think we got off on the wrong foot

[manic torrent]

I love that you don't understand what the problem is

Did you know you can be concerned for people other than yourself?

[raven mauve]

Then please explain what it is

[spice pine]

"my pronouns are [sl/ur]"

[raven mauve]

True

But I changed it and apologized

[manic torrent]

You really didn't. You don't understand what the problem is, then you complained about wokeness.

[peak phoenix]

Meh. I don't find it funny. I don't feel the need to attack either.

[raven mauve]

I was having a conversation with another person

[elfin jetty]

Bruv what did i just walk in to

[raven mauve]

Run while you still can

[peak phoenix]

Politics just don't belong here.

[raven mauve]

Agreed

[meager herald]

oh wow this still going on

[spice pine]

I don't think there's humor in punching down on two marginalized groups of people, especially groups that I'm a part of.

[manic torrent]

I know right? Take your basic respect for other people elsewhere

[raven mauve]

Good lord

[meager herald]

the amount of times ive been called that word when ive messed up in a game is just funny atp

[raven mauve]

I said “hello chat” and it was all down hill from there

[meager herald]

i dont really take it to heart though

[peak phoenix]

Welcome to the world where not everyone agrees with you? idk. If you don't want to interact with them there's the block function.

[manic torrent]

it's not about you

[meager herald]

i know im just giving my 2 cents

[raven mauve]

No one uses that word like that

It’s not like “oh you insert slur”

[spice pine]

Weird how I'm not asking people to "agree" with me. I just think you're an asshole (and frankly, violating the rules) if you make fun of people like that.

[meager herald]

so is it offensive to call someone schizo if they keep messing with optimising hardware

[raven mauve]

Its used to describe an idea

[peak phoenix]

Best to just drop this.

[manic torrent]

yes, literally.

[raven mauve]

Agreed

[elfin jetty]

[raven mauve]

[meager herald]

oof

"is it offensive to use a genuine psychiatric disorder that many people suffer from as a casual slur and the butt of a joke?"

Then dont go outside?

It became very clear over time that Humble Bundle was not under the same management and didn't have the same values. It was technically possible for Ziff Davis to just be a silent owner on paper without changing anything but that isn't what happened.

When Humble Bundle first started there was three key things that really made it stand out:

• All games in the bundle were DRM free
• If you could play any of the games on Mac or Linux was highlighted
• Everyone that bought the bundle could specify their prefer gaming OS and the resulting percentages (both total number and total spent) was made public

ZD got rid of all three of those over time

[polar fern]

@neon zenith they need a place to send the redeem code

who believes you can create the "ultimate" lan gaming center in someplace that has the primary purpose of being a badminton center the majority of the time without compromising the "ultimate" lan gaming center part?

[silk blaze]

Hi everyone! just joined and I'm a complete amateur with computers, but excited to learn more! Currently have a pre-built with a 5600x & 3070, I've only changed the CPU cooler (and probably put way too much thermal paste on...). Nice to meet you 🙂

[shut lichen]

Pretty easily, all you really need for a good lan centre is room, power, and networking. Lol

[gleaming compass]

I see it being a frequent problem that you show up for the lan party only to find they are still "switching over"

[mystic tundra]

did anyone say bread

??

[topaz crescent]

Does anyone know if I can watch floatplane on a Amazon fire stick

[polar fern]

Wow

I just read the … 2 hours? Of

[shut lichen]

Lol no. It's planned to be easily setup and packed down very quickly (relative to it's size), the only way they'd be still setting up when people are meant to arrive is poor planning, or something important breaking.

[shut lichen]

Does the fire stick not just have normal casting available?

[polar fern]

No more like 3

Dang

It’s just amazing how derailed this channel can get over just one or two people acting inappropriately

[gleaming compass]

No

[shut lichen]

Then dump the fire stick and go get a Chromecast or something lmao

[gleaming compass]

Also, the majority of developers maintaining Fire Stick have be laid off

[polar fern]

First someone I talk to on a regular basis, acts like an asshole towards me in here, and then someone comes in with some super inappropriate offensive “about me” thing in their profile that goes on for several hours

[gleaming compass]

Amazon is dumping Fire OS completely

[polar fern]

Really?

first I am hearing of it

Read up

[gleaming compass]

https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/14/23954333/amazon-ditching-android-fire-tv-echo-show

[polar fern]

People should learn not to take their bad day or whatever shit that’s going on with them out on other people

Own software

Anytime I see anything about the verge, all I can picture is that dumpster fire PC build video

[gleaming compass]

I don't understand why they wouldn't switch to Tizen if they really dislike how bloated Android has gotten

[graceful burrow]

Everybody hates tizen kek

Why would Amazon use a competitors os

[gleaming compass]

https://www.engadget.com/amazon-reportedly-plans-to-dump-android-for-a-homemade-fire-os-replacement-200144781.html

[polar fern]

I am guessing they are moving to do this, because all of the stuff going on with Apple and the EU and whatnot

[gleaming compass]

Yes, I agree, but Amazon reventing the wheel from scratch seems "better"???

[graceful burrow]

Ah it is Linux based
This will be interesting, I can't wait to see it hacked to shreds

[graceful burrow]

For them yes
This is a drop in the bucked compared to the cpus they make (or have made for them technically)

[polar fern]

It’s almost definitely Linux of some flavour

My bet is on Debian

[graceful burrow]

If you control the full stack top to bottom that enables extreme optimizations
Look at apple devices
Their arm chips are crazy fast and efficient, and so is their operating systems

[gleaming compass]

That is the AWS side getting that. This new consumer gadgets OS seems to be a task of their under funded and greatly reduced staff side of developers.

[graceful burrow]

According to the article job listing's are popping up, so that seems to be changing

[polar fern]

The fact that their codename or whatever is Vega is pretty hilarious, because AMD already has a trademark and copyright on that particular word in the electronics space

[graceful burrow]

Like I said
For a company as big as Amazon, this is a drop in the bucket

This could fail and they could sink billions with an S and be perfectly fine

This is no different from the console manufacturers making a custom os

[gleaming compass]

Anyways, I wouldn't invest in a Fire Stick right now with the future of the product being kind of foggy

[graceful burrow]

Sony is based on freebsd
Microsoft is based on the nt kernel
Idk what Nintendo's is off the top of my head

[gleaming compass]

Nintendo is netbsd maybe?

[graceful burrow]

Oh it is proprietary and custom, with Unix-like services like what android and freebsd has

Sounds about right
It would be like Nintendo to be fully custom

[polar fern]

I’m going to go out on a limb and postulate that this move is in recognition that Amazon could be broken up into its constituent components. Having an operating system that was developed to stand on its own with their own device ecosystem makes a lot more sense in that respect. They could have an entire lineup of devices tablets, TV stuff, streaming boxes, all of that separate from the Amazon online marketplace and AWS.

[gleaming compass]

Nintendo gave as little ram as possible on the switch for their kernel to work with

[graceful burrow]

Worked out for them

[gleaming compass]

the switch had trouble keeping up with 30 FPS when docked to a full 1080p TV

[graceful burrow]

Call Nintendo a shitty company with shitty business practices and anti-consumer actions
But they know what the fuck they're doing

[gleaming compass]

I don't think that is working out well

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the game

[polar fern]

At the end of the day, when the motive for profit takes over a certain percentage, the end result is usually shittier than it needs to be

[graceful burrow]

Also irrespective of the actual user experience
Nintendo consoles sell like crazy

So it doesn't really even matter

[polar fern]

“Just good enough to sell so many number of units” is a extremely toxic strategy for any company in the technology space

[gleaming compass]

But did they really know what they were doing when they had failing emmc storage on early switch hardware and still declared backups to the already provided SD card slot is not possible?

[graceful burrow]

Consumers are fine with putting up 70+ dollar poor experiences

[graceful burrow]

You say that like every other console launched is fine

Ps5's are currently failing from the liquid metal

[gleaming compass]

where is an equivilent that you couldn't backup your game saves on another console?

[graceful burrow]

Like I said here

[gleaming compass]

it is like NES Zelda save game hell all over again as the cart battery dies

[graceful burrow]

You can knowingly release a bad product and it sell well
They know what they're doing
They aren't idiots

[polar fern]

I had a bunch of pretty heavy hesitations in pushing a switch for my girlfriend and her kids to use, and now it seems like those feelings were justified after all… interesting..

[ebon otter]

We’re there any OLED 27” 4k 120+hz monitor reveals at CES?

[polar fern]

@gleaming compass do you mean the gold edition carts?

[gleaming compass]

yes

[dusky jacinth]

True, lol.

And it's easy to tell just what they're doing too.

[polar fern]

I have one of those from a batch of games that I bought at a yard sale

[gleaming compass]

did you get it working again?

[polar fern]

I have literally zero interest in anything Zelda, but I could probably check

I would have to get my NES to work first

[gleaming compass]

it might have resale value if you can get it fully working again

[polar fern]

Out of all of the consoles that I own it’s the only one that doesn’t seem to be working properly for any specific reason

[gleaming compass]

imagine that

[polar fern]

My dreamcast doesn’t work, but that’s because a beverage was spilled on it, burning out the main power circuit

[gleaming compass]

Poor Sega :P

[polar fern]

We had some friends over at one point, and we were all going to play a four player game in several rounds, just for fun and it didn’t turn on, so I tore it open carefully and discovered that it had a giant scorch mark on the underside of the DC power in trace

[gleaming compass]

It is telling the quality of Nintendo's products when it is easier to find a Magnavox game console fully working than an 8-bit NES :P

[polar fern]

To be fair

We played the fuck out of that console for some like 12 years before it started giving us any problems

My genesis still works.

[gleaming compass]

To be fair, the Magnavox is from the 1970's and the USA NES wasn't released until 1985

[polar fern]

We got ours in 1989 or so

[gleaming compass]

And the Sega Master System? How about the Atari 2400?

[polar fern]

Nah. we were all too young for that at that point

[graceful burrow]

I need to tear down and properly clean my nes
Only cable I technically don't have is the power adapter

Got literally everything else, even a game
Dankey kang

[gleaming compass]

there is videos on youtube of someone replacing the NES power to accept USB-C PD

[polar fern]

you can do almost anything with those simpler circuit boards

[graceful burrow]

Ye

Zekrom here usb c modded his GameCube

[polar fern]

A couple of days ago, I actually ran across a piece of hardware that was initially meant to be installed in an arcade cabinet. It was a sega genesis, but just the bare board and a mounting bracket.

[graceful burrow]

How much was it

If it was one of those ten-cartridge boards those are rare

Or 8
I think it's 8 carts

Rmc the cave did a video recently cleaning one of those cabs

[polar fern]

I think it was for a mortal kombat cabinet

[graceful burrow]

Fuckin warship

Wonder if it suffered the dead battery curse

Those old arcades and their volatile memory are hell

Hate shit like that so much

[topaz crescent]

Not that I know of

[gleaming compass]

You could try AirScreen on it but I have never tried that before
https://www.amazon.com/AirScreen-AirPlay-Google-Cast-Miracast/dp/B07CPZ698R/

[shut lichen]

You should be replying to the person that asked, not me

[gleaming compass]

Does Floatplane use any DRM? It probably will just appear as black when mirrored

The right way to deal with this would be for Floatplane to be on the Amazon App store :P

[shut lichen]

No

You can literally download the videos lol

[gleaming compass]

So any DLNA method to the firestick should work?

[shut lichen]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh quartz]

Guys, guys, new bread lore just dropped

[gleaming compass]

when does the idle clicker get released?

nevermind, found it:
https://cookieclickercity.com/games/bread-clicker/

[grim relic]

Just got 4070 super today and was wondering do I need to plug both 8pin plce cables to the adapter 16 pin that comes with

[carmine stirrup]

Yes you do

The sense pins on the 12v will know if you don't

[cursive palm]

hi guys

[fervent abyss]

I wonder if Linus would come to my country and do a tech upgrade for me. Would be nice. And I would love to be in his video.

[shut lichen]

[fervent abyss]

Not that I’m telling him to do it. But I’m thinking if he would do that?

[jagged dune]

prolly not, If he did it for one people would be mad and it'd jus be a train of issues

[old yacht]

sup gamer

[fervent abyss]

Plus. I’m not requesting him to do it. I was just imagining

[gleaming compass]

you are using viewers for push ups? do you keep track of your heart rate while doing that? if so, what is your target heart rate?

[shut lichen]

I can pretty much 100% guarantee that'd never happen. iirc the rare times they've done anything like that (ROG Rig reboot?) it was limited to North america.
going international for anything has a very large opportunity cost, and actual cost.

[gleaming compass]

I think Twitch is on borrow time under Amazon

[white pawn]

<< has one 🙂

[gleaming compass]

which? Magnavox or Nintendo?

[white pawn]

NES original, still working, as are all 3 variants of Atari 2600 that i have

[gleaming compass]

I have the Magnavox Odyssey 300, NES, SNES, game cube and Wii

I never had an Atari 2600

[white pawn]

and colecovision, and intellivision 🙂

[gleaming compass]

friend had the 2600, the joystick tore up my hands

[fervent abyss]

alright then

[white pawn]

basically, its eaiser for me to say what im missing: Magnavox Odyssey2, Sega Master System, Nintendo 64, PS3

[gleaming compass]

I only like Donkey Kong on the colecovision. I don't think I ever played an intellivision

[white pawn]

they all have their strengths and weaknessess to be fair

[gleaming compass]

N64 shouldn't be that hard to get. I have one of those with the video expansion.

I hate the N64 controller

[white pawn]

i actually have the N64 module for my Polymega, and a preorder for the Analogue 3D

since i never owned one originally, i don't need to have original hardware

[echo canopy]

Twitch itself loses money but its a heavy insentive to get amazon prime and use amazon products more.

Its also a tech demo for amazons own AWS streaming services as well a transcoding services

[ebon otter]

How long will it take before there is a 27” 4k 144hz+ QD oled?

[echo canopy]

ask samsung or lg ig

[ebon otter]

Ok

[glacial fox]

i got error 1110 while trying to update an iphone using itunes

the storage was full, there was like halfway of system data, one app could be on the phone at a time, we thought updating would fix it, i tried to backup the device but it would just corrupt the backup

no apps fixed it

[neon mesa]

oh yes, i can't wait for tommorow

i pulled the trigger on the 5700x3D

all hail AMD

[jagged dune]

[jagged dune]

I'd like to get older consoles but I only have consoles I have games I want to play on as I prefer playing original hardware

[quartz dew]

Give me your earbud recommendations!

👂👂

[sonic spruce]

how do you solve the n3ds audio situation

cuz it only has mono and not stereo?

[gleaming harbor]

raycon is the one i can think off

[prime solstice]

I have 3 of those 1 original and 2 of the second edition

[jagged dune]

the DS/DSI were gifts, otherwise I wouldn't have them since 3DS can play ds, but ds has gameboy advanced slot so it's cool ig lol.. kinda wanna get an actual gameboy for the games tho

[prime solstice]

Put another speaker in it

[quartz dew]

Like the only one you can think of?

[sonic spruce]

[jagged dune]

hm?

[prime solstice]

Soldering

[sonic spruce]

im buying a genesis 3

[jagged dune]

[gleaming harbor]

samsung earbuds, apple earbuds....

[sonic spruce]

n3ds comes with mono audio, i want stereo

[jagged dune]

oh

idk

[sonic spruce]

ill just buy speakers

[prime solstice]

Steal someone’s car stereo thats how you fix it

[sonic spruce]

ill just buy cheap speakers

[jagged dune]

I don't rlly mod my consoles, BUT I would like to have my 3ds homebrewed

[prime solstice]

It’s easier if it’s on a older version newer one makes it harder

[jagged dune]

as fun as modding is I personally like my consoles kept as their original state.. Feels more special to me

[gleaming harbor]

its easy now but way back then.. cubic ninja
(i didnt own a 3ds)

[jagged dune]

so ur saying I should get a 3ds xl ontop of alr have the new 3ds xl

[prime solstice]

No I’m talking about updates older updates is easier to homebrew newer one is hard to homebrew

[jagged dune]

cause a current shop near me has a 3ds xl XY edition that i have been needing to get, someone give me a reason to blow abt $200 on it plz n thanks

it's N.I.B. btq*

[sonic spruce]

ill just get this

https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-multimedia-computer-speakers/dp/B00008MN45?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

[jagged dune]

Typos.. re

[prime solstice]

Just go to a pawn shop

Or a thrift shop

[jagged dune]

i typically have earbuds or headphones in when playing on my ds/switch so idk abt their actual speaker quality

[sonic spruce]

i have a beats pill i could use

[sonic spruce]

stereo is usually better than mono.

headphones and earbunds are usually stereo

[prime solstice]

The 3ds doesn’t have Bluetooth

[sonic spruce]

except cheap ones

[sonic spruce]

its bluetooth and wired

[prime solstice]

Ah

[jagged dune]

never thought abt connecting speakers to my DS before

[lilac bear]

DS is lit

[lethal ridge]

Anyone know any good vpns for phone?

[manic torrent]

www.phonevpn.com

[sand igloo]

Real.

[lethal ridge]

..

Fr tho do u know any ?

[white pawn]

nice! 🙂 (I'm still tracking down a bug that keeps randomly restarting my system, sorry for the late reply)

[white pawn]

I used to be like this until Analogue started releasing their hardware, and the Polymega came out(there are some debates about whether Analogue consoles are actually emulators, since they are basically hardware perfect using modern hardware, but yes, the plymega is emulation, but so far, i can't tell a difference between anything on it and original hardware)
