[thin tulip]

Any retro gaming enthusiasts here? I have a question.

I'm wondering how much this is worth.

No cords. Just the controllers and the Madden copy.

[vapid zephyr]

Assuming it works and you can clean it up, you can probably get around a $100 for it

Though the missing power cable is gonna be an issue for the price

[arctic tangle]

Aw dang my friends bass was unstrung for too long neck warped :/

Told him to put tension on 3 strings (he snapped one putting it on just now) and see if itll help. Otherwise he has to go to get it steam clamped, tuned, adjusted, etc. Linus mechanics tip I guess

Its good for gaming, but dissipointing when it comes to UI customizability.

idk, i remember being able to customize windows pretty heavily back in the day
we used to turn windows xp or 7 into macos or windows 8 back then (even though it involved the use of third party applications but it was possible)

[manic torrent]

Oh I assure you some of it is terrible

[open wind]

Is there a way to see posts I reacted to in battlestations? I put heart on a post and it just dissapears

[grave sand]

whats a better game rdr2 or cyberpunk

[meager herald]

theyre very different

[grave sand]

i just need what entertains me for more time

[steep girder]

No quiero.

The bread did not consent.

[meager herald]

so rdr2 is like a wild west cowboy type game from the looks of it, cyberpunk is like city type enviornment, dystopian kinda vibe

[grave sand]

yes

if rdr2 is fast paced enough then ill get that

[mystic tundra]

Rdr2 tops

[grave sand]

just from what ive seen it looks slow which is not that entertaining to me

i think its definitely made better

[graceful burrow]

Rdr2 is not fast paced

[grave sand]

yes

[graceful burrow]

It's very slow

[grave sand]

that is my concern

[graceful burrow]

The opening sequence is fucking molasses slow

[grave sand]

might have to go cyberpunk then

i just need a game that has a long story mode

[graceful burrow]

Cp2077 is pretty fun nowadays

[grave sand]

ive heard its gotten better

[graceful burrow]

And the bugs if you encounter any now are just fun, they don't break quests or anything

The 2.0 and 2.1 updates really shaped the game up nicely

[vocal cipher]

hi

[graceful burrow]

And I've heard phantom liberty dlc is crazy good, I still need to play it

[grave sand]

the game with that dlc bundle is 50 bucks which i can pay but dont feel like it lol

normal game is only sale for 30

[lilac bear]

only good for gaming because thats where the market is

Linux isn't shit for gaming

it's because no company wants to code for a system that has almost no users

[eager notch]

Ever heard of the steam deck?

There are like 15,000 games compatible with steamOS on steam

[lilac bear]

is that a bad number

whats the point of saying this

[cold prism]

Phantom liberty is really good

[jagged spruce]

Hi

[thin tulip]

Yeah.

[thin tulip]

Even better for it due to how few system resouces it uses.

[graceful burrow]

Tbf those are only games that fall under valve's super strict guidelines for compatibility
A large large majority of games actually do work just fine if you're alright tapping on the screen once or twice or mapping a TouchPad for mouse

Most of the games I've played on the deck were listed as incompatible

Proton is insane

[eager notch]

Oh yeah, protondb is a better database than steam deck verification. I played marvels guardians of the galaxy entirely on my deck and it was just fine once I got the settings dialed in for 40 fps. Now I'm paying Hogwarts legacy

Guardians was listed as "playable" but it was a perfectly enjoyable experience on the deck

[graceful burrow]

40hz mode is amazing
Such a smart edition

[balmy sierra]

Mountain street strength?

Mountain saint straight

Uhhh

I can't think of any more

[slate leaf]

so close

[graceful burrow]

I give up

[slate leaf]

Mount(ain) saint street

[graceful burrow]

Damn

I was so close

[manic torrent]

Still odd, because St is generally used for street.

So Mt. St. St. would be more accurate

[slate leaf]

two St. abbreviations would add extra confusion which is why my name is the way it is

[silk birch]

i saw you in ztt or smth

[slate leaf]

nuh uh

who is that

[silk birch]

zachs tech turf

[slate leaf]

never heard of it

[full fossil]

Hey i know linus does some Things with open sense and i was wondering if i could get some direction or a guide even with how to get cloudflare web UI on openwrt or Debian bullseye( i have tried but i can't install docker on yunohost ) but if someone can help me or point me in the right direction that would be great or have any other questions to find a resolution i can answer the stuff to my knowledge

--

Sorry if thats a lot

[manic torrent]

It really feels like you have no idea what you're doing here - maybe take this to #linux and say what you want to achieve and what you have, rather than what you think the solution is

[full fossil]

I have and no responses yet but i have some idea but docker isn't supported by yunohost and cdl commands are aggravating me atm with all the errors by yunohost pay walling them

[manic torrent]

... yeah you are still not saying what you want

[full fossil]

Cloudflare web ui

[mild garden]

hello

[mild garden]

oh hey

[manic torrent]

yeah nah, "I want to be able to run a web server on hardware X" or "I want to serve anime to my polycule"

[full fossil]

I don't watch anime i have some things running on yunohost that i want to Access from outside my home and use but yunohost is debian based and I can't install docker on it because that's what i was trying to do i can confg. All the other stuff i just need the flared working to config. It

[manic torrent]

you can't install docker on it.

[full fossil]

As i have explained when i install docker i run into some issues with the install and it wont work

[graceful burrow]

Reminds me I need to try setting up wireguard or somethin on my nas so I can access it outside my network

[manic torrent]

what an amazing description of the issues. I love the way you included the complete error message and context.

[lapis zinc]

dont care American football is lame

i mean you're kind of right. you do have a point

do u think euro football is better? @vapid smelt

[vapid smelt]

i do like soccer/ football but i still dont watch it

[teal estuary]

sports are lame unless you are playing them, fite me

note: supporting roles or otherwise being involved is good enough for me, im not going to count out the engineers, coaches, pit crew, etc, just because they aren't the ones on the field/track/etc

[whole swallow]

I have seen a hockey game live once and that was kinda fun, they dick around a lot less than a lot of other sports. Still wouldn't watch it on tv tho

[weak sonnet]

I'm just watching right now for the commercials, mostly making fun of them in irc

[full fossil]

A8-7680 + RX 560? 😏

[vapid smelt]

just wait till after when they are all on youtube

no thanks

it's more fun doing it now when everybody else is watching live

[old yacht]

Floatplane is the site that LMG has that has extra content

[pliant karma]

ehh early content is at this point not a thing anymore for Floatplane once in a while yea but rarely

[manic torrent]

Also subscribers to floatplane are better than other people.

[silk birch]

return them

[dreamy rose]

the most terminally blue name message of all time

so anyway. here is the name of a suburb in Victoria, Australia

its linus!

[vapid smelt]

you touched it

[pliant gust]

nah

[vapid smelt]

use #1027757333117415424 and dont repost shit very bad

[neon mesa]

That zotac gpu aesthetic is atrocious

[pliant gust]

Idc about looks

[vapid smelt]

and the aio from 2012

[neon mesa]

I can tell

[pliant gust]

it’s not my main

[harsh quartz]

I remember when the 40 series got leaked with them zotac cards and I was like “those have to be fake cause they look so fuckin bad” and then they were real

[neon mesa]

It's always zotac

[pliant gust]

that’s my main

[neon mesa]

Still bad cabling

[pliant gust]

Kk idc

[neon mesa]

You can have garbage back panel management but the front has to look good

[harsh quartz]

I mean, it doesn’t have to, but it is kind of taboo

[neon mesa]

I wanna spray paint my gpu white but that will destroy the resale value

[harsh quartz]

That sounds terrible. Painting it, sure, but spray paint?

[neon mesa]

You disassemble it

And get the plastic shroud

[harsh quartz]

Of course, but I still think a spray paint would just look bad

[neon mesa]

Nah, it's good done right

[harsh quartz]

Can you not just buy a white replacement shroud?

[neon mesa]

Check ZTT's spray painted gpus

[neon mesa]

There is no replacement shroud

[harsh quartz]

Get a broken one and rip it apart

[neon mesa]

Way more expensive

Has to find the same model that is broken which is easier said than done

[harsh quartz]

🤷

[west oar]

the top one looks better

[visual wing]

The chiefs won its soo sad

[vapid smelt]

i agree it is so sad that people watch the super bowl

[visual wing]

Nah he Super Bowl fun

[gilded quest]

I went out for a nice dinner instead. The streets were empty, it was perfect

[vapid smelt]

fuck the superbowl

[midnight idol]

ain't nothing gonna change

"well guys, TheCoopaTroopa on discord doesn't support the super bowl, so this is the last ever game"

(it does)

[manic torrent]

Lol it doesn't

The whole thing is fucked.

[midnight idol]

there he is
I was wondering who was gonna contradict tonight

boy am I glad to be a vegas local

[visual wing]

I didn’t think this would happen

[manic torrent]

For the Superbowl, not for stadiums all over the country.

[polar fern]

👀

There are several pretty good documentaries on the whole athletics industry, starting from when kids are very young, and all of the things that go into sponsors and placements and tournaments and everything

[vapid smelt]

people would still spend that money on something that would also be taxed like a vacation

[polar fern]

FIFA World Cup

[restive lion]

the world cup?

[midnight idol]

Apollo 11 Moon Landing

[visual wing]

lol

[restive lion]

nobody gives a fuck about american football anywhere but america lol

[polar fern]

🤔

Handegg

[midnight idol]

lmao

[vapid smelt]

tax payers pay for staduims and the NFL doesnt need to pay taxes

[polar fern]

They usually use taxpayer dollars to build the stadiums, but won’t get into that.

[midnight idol]

womp womp
why do you care so much?

[vapid smelt]

instead of staduims we could build cool tanks

[midnight idol]

aight so bs

[visual wing]

lol

[restive lion]

now that would be epic

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD1YtmKXNb4 mr beast

[midnight idol]

viewership over time is completely different

[vapid smelt]

or we could have better roads and bridges

[polar fern]

Stadiums should use a go fund me. The millionaire players & owners should pay in

[midnight idol]

also not really an issue

[visual wing]

Yes please

[midnight idol]

we have internal improvement funding

[polar fern]

Not an issue?! Breh

We’ve had whole ass interstates FALL DOWN

[midnight idol]

womp

[restive lion]

?_?

[midnight idol]

let me rephrase that, not my issue

[harsh quartz]

Olympics

[midnight idol]

I pay taxes, don't really care where tf it goes

[polar fern]

It is your issue because everything that’s brought to you is using that interstate

[vapid smelt]

semi trucks use the roads so it is

[midnight idol]

howdy airplanes were invented in 1903

[polar fern]

And how do you think the fuel gets to the airport?

[midnight idol]

not my problem

[restive lion]

are you being dense on purpose?

absolutely

[vapid smelt]

you get your mail and packages airdoped?

[midnight idol]

absolutely

[restive lion]

nobody wants to deal with a jackass

[midnight idol]

then don't
bye

[visual wing]

lol

[restive lion]

if you cant talk with big boys then get out

[harsh quartz]

Okay, this has no relevance. Schools invest in them because they are a revenue stream for the school, school put money in, school get money out. What coopa is talking about is government put money in, government don’t get money out, sports team get money out

[midnight idol]

ok dad

[polar fern]

In any case, very frequently stadiums are a money pit for municipalities.

Unfortunately, most of the stadiums are surrounded by gargantuan parking lots which eat up land that could be used for something else such as mixed zoning to reduce the amount of cars on the road

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, then once a year events really make a city grand, I’m sure sturgis has a great other 11 months of the year

[midnight idol]

the stadium caused more traffic ngl
it was fine before

[polar fern]

Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles

[midnight idol]

Allegiant Stadium *

[harsh quartz]

No but other games do not cause the amount of tourism that the SB does

[visual wing]

Oh my Ghosh I never looked at a SB stadium

That massive

[harsh quartz]

..that’s a baseball stadium

[visual wing]

[polar fern]

Here’s Philadelphia’s sports complex. Interstate 95 along the south

[restive lion]

hey it might make football actually entertaining for once

[harsh quartz]

By making it MORE like baseball? Which is far worse?

[vapid smelt]

wonder how many houses and town homes could fill that area

[polar fern]

Make the players arrive by public transportation

[restive lion]

no you se they have to run across the field in a curved line

[midnight idol]

wow that's a HUGE overstatement

[harsh quartz]

0, it would all be apartments now

[midnight idol]

there's like maybe 2 lots for parking at the current stadium

[harsh quartz]

I’m just imagining football but on like a monopoly board, with end zones in each corner

[polar fern]

The heck is tha

[midnight idol]

the stadium that the current super bowl was hosted
that was built last year

[polar fern]

If that’s vegas they have parking garages

[midnight idol]

they do not

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

[harsh quartz]

It’s mas Vegas

[midnight idol]

it's 2 lots, anything else you have to find parking

[harsh quartz]

Mas Vegas, lavada

[polar fern]

Been to vegas. Dunno why anyone lives there

[vapid smelt]

https://www.investigativepost.org/2021/12/13/little-economic-benefit-from-new-stadium/ we should pay for targets stores

[midnight idol]

I live there
it really isn't as bad as you think if you go to the right areas

ie NOT the strip

[vapid smelt]

even smoke free hotel rooms smell like smoke in vegas

[polar fern]

Right areas? Breh it’s a sandy hot armpit. Why even deal with the ridiculous heat

[harsh quartz]

Can I put my taxes towards a new SB? Not superbowl, but Starbucks, inside of a target

[north escarp]

If they think the 250$ fee is smol then they full send it

[polar fern]

Not even sand, just grit

[harsh quartz]

Sand. I hate sand.

[midnight idol]

stay mad ig

[polar fern]

Hope you get to move some day

[midnight idol]

most of it isn't even sand 🤣🤣🤣

[vapid smelt]

concrete

[midnight idol]

I can't find sand unless I go to the outskirts

[polar fern]

Yes it’s like gritty nonsense

[vapid smelt]

ofc that would bring in more people

[harsh quartz]

Invasion of the suburbia moms

[visual wing]

Ha

[calm swan]

dumbest game of football ive watched

[vapid smelt]

got to get that pink stanely cup

[midnight idol]

the same gritty nonsense that's turned us into a booming city, sure
can't exactly discredit the population growth

[calm swan]

google ad was sick asf tho

[polar fern]

Drove on the vegas strip & out to LA.

[calm swan]

untrue

[midnight idol]

that's your fault 100%

only californians drive there

[vapid smelt]

the one i went to did

[polar fern]

Car got so hot we had to turn on the heater.

[calm swan]

i stayed at vdara and it was fine

[polar fern]

To cool the engine down

[harsh quartz]

Las Vegas is another example of natural selection at work

[midnight idol]

whyd you go to Vegas during the summer
that's just the dumbest idea I've heard

[calm swan]

dude im actually pissed about that game

[midnight idol]

and I'm still alive 👍

[vapid smelt]

i got very confused at first when i saw you turned one the heater becuse it was too hot

[calm swan]

HOW do you miss that one damn point

[harsh quartz]

The same way you miss the tone of this conversation

[polar fern]

Yeah it draws heat from the engine coolant

[midnight idol]

yall act like we don't also have air conditioning

it was 120 last summer and 70 inside

[polar fern]

We don’t use heat or ac for like 3 months of the year

[midnight idol]

boohoo

[harsh quartz]

My favorite part is “why would you visit in the summer” as if you don’t also have to live there in the summer

[vapid smelt]

imagine getting into a black car with leather seats when its 120f outside

[visual wing]

Is electricity pretty cheap in Vegas

[midnight idol]

brother

[polar fern]

No

[harsh quartz]

Bruh this is my life and it’s so fuckin miserable

[midnight idol]

yes
it's the same rates as everywhere else 😭😭

[calm swan]

it sucks

[polar fern]

They don’t even get power from hoover dam.

[vapid smelt]

i got a blue car with blue cloth seats

[harsh quartz]

It’ll be like 115f, sunny, and 100% humidity and I gotta get in that fuckin black leather seated car

[midnight idol]

incorrect again
the dam is at functioning levels again

[calm swan]

85F out and my car will be hot asf

[polar fern]

Vegas does not get power from hoover dam

[midnight idol]

brother why do yoy have leather
natural selection

[visual wing]

Isn’t it hydro powered

[harsh quartz]

This shouldn’t be the exception, it should normally be at functional levels

[midnight idol]

[midnight idol]

leather is luxury in the desert
that's crazy

[midnight idol]

hey check that out

[harsh quartz]

?? I’m not in the desert

[calm swan]

its luxury anywhere, ur usually paying much more for leather seats

[harsh quartz]

I live in a normal human place to live

[midnight idol]

like it's not the same temperature or colder here right now

[polar fern]

The majority of the dam’s power goes to California.

[harsh quartz]

Not where someone went “ahh yess, the middle of a 120f desert with no water or vegetation, this is a good place to make a home”

[midnight idol]

it wasn't founded as a desert

Oooo, I think I made him angy

[fair estuary]

Just seen this monstrosity on the train

[vapid smelt]

did you take that photo on a nintendo ds?

[fair estuary]

Nah wideangle and cropped in. Didint wanna make it too obvious i was pointing my camera at someone 😭

Also probably better if upu cant read the filenames

[half harbor]

I would have just done it nobody notices unless you have a big camera.

[half harbor]

Thats fair though

[languid scroll]

🤣🤣I only just thought of it then found it today

[karmic pilot]

is Asphalt 9: Legends good?

[covert crest]

Hey!

[manic torrent]

Imagine having icons visible on the desktop in 2024

[pliant karma]

or a disorganized desktop. Seen worse

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/computer-whats-a-computer-tablet-gif-11564169

[manic torrent]

No, just icons turned on at all.

My mother in law said that she tried to use a DVD in her MacBook (that I installed ChromeOS flex on) and it didn't work.
I was like.... Yeah I hadn't even considered that at all.

[vapid smelt]

people still own dvds?

[novel notch]

yes hundreds

[vapid smelt]

just move it to a flashdrive

[full fossil]

I have tons of photos and stuff from 15 or so years ago that are sitting in the form of CDs

[full fossil]

only problem is I dont have a CD reader

[novel notch]

they are called backup for the nas wich has hopefully all of them

[vapid smelt]

have $4.95 plus $2 for shipping?

[full fossil]

middle east here

also

im just too lazy

[vapid smelt]

does aliexpress not ship to the middle east?

[manic torrent]

Loooooooool

[full fossil]

more that i dont trust aliexpress

[manic torrent]

You backup your NAS to optical media? What the fuck

[full fossil]

they managed to put a dent in 4 inch thick aluminium

[manic torrent]

That's because aluminium is not very strong

[full fossil]

by dent I mean I recieved the block in almost 2 peices

[long briar]

real

[manic torrent]

Exactly.

[long briar]

That's my laptop

wallpaper engine + blank desktop is the way to go

[full fossil]

is this 4 by 3 or something

[long briar]

16:10

I don't have a desktop screenshot but it's similar

[manic torrent]

Gods aspect ratio

[full fossil]

idk it looks taller than it is wider for me

[manic torrent]

That's because you are blind

[vapid smelt]

https://www.digital-scrapbooking-storage.com/disc-rot.html are they in sealed bag or contatiner away from the light?

[novel notch]

only for the movies that are on them the rest has a real second home

[long briar]

I mean realistically 16:10 is 4:3.333333

wait

nvm I''m stooppid

4:2.5

[rustic beacon]

4:2.5

[barren kindle]

is it not just 8:5

[rustic beacon]

yes

[long briar]

4:2.5 and 4:3 isn't too diff

[manic torrent]

Bizarre

[long briar]

either 16 or 9 is normally used so that it's easy to visualize compared to 16:9

[full fossil]

8:5 or 4:2.5 or 2:1.25 or 1:.625

[novel notch]

why

[manic torrent]

Because optical media is hilariously dead.

[long briar]

It's actually the best aspect ratio for anything you sit in front of

[manic torrent]

Hard facts.

[rustic beacon]

32:20

that really looks like 3:2

[full fossil]

drop the link

[manic torrent]

3200000000:2000000000

[long briar]

3:2 is a little too square for my backpack

[novel notch]

not fully and enough pcs have a dvd reader

[barren kindle]

why are we talking bout apsect ratios💃💃

[vapid smelt]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805322898272.html?

[lapis forge]

i got a full shelf of albums, last time I checked it was like 250CDs

[manic torrent]

They really don't.

[rustic beacon]

oh shit I'm talking in public chat wtf am I doing here

[long briar]

lmao

[lapis forge]

granted, i dont use them

[long briar]

I haven't had a built in DVD reader since... 2015?

[vapid smelt]

its too late you cant leave now

[barren kindle]

i havnt even seen a dvd reader

[manic torrent]

... Wat?

[rustic beacon]

yes I can, watch me

[manic torrent]

Exactly

[long briar]

Whenever I built my 7700k system is when I stopped using one

[barren kindle]

let alone a vcr player

[novel notch]

so until the are rotten away they will be the backup
our pcs have enough

[long briar]

I have a USB disc drive for the occasional "why is this on optical media"

[novel notch]

i kept mine around

[lapis forge]

same

the good old samsung dvd and cd reader

[vapid smelt]

disk rot has enterd the chat

[barren kindle]

wait

is a black LED possible?

[long briar]

I have one of these

[lapis forge]

daamn, one with a stand, thats sick

[long briar]

Black is the absence of light. To replicate a black LED you'd actually need a lot of light and a way to blank a spot

to create the effect of black

ie. making two areas contrast each other enough to appear black, like what projectors do

[barren kindle]

wait i phrased it wrong, i mean like to remove light from a specific location

i feel like youd make billions if you figure out how to

[long briar]

It depends. What are you trying to do?

[barren kindle]

it was just a random thought

[long briar]

You can have a physical barrier to block light, you can also use a layer of paint or similar that aborbs all wavelengths of light

Like Vantablack/Black 4.0 are specialized paints designed to absorb all visible light

[barren kindle]

oh yea i forgot those existed, thanks

[lapis forge]

but would the use of an led create a more gray rather than black?

[novel notch]

https://www.fractal-design.com/de/products/cases/pop/pop-air/black-solid/
and a internal one
serving me well since 2016

[long briar]

it wouldn't matter what your light source is

[lapis forge]

right, but in general, if you coat a led with black 4.0 wouldnt that make a gray light rather than black?

[long briar]

most physical objects (that don't emit light) just absorb every wavelength of light BUT the part of the spectrum that you see, which is reflected

[lapis forge]

right

[long briar]

the paint is effectively just a physical barrier at that point

would you see light if you wrapped an LED completely with tin foil?

aside from the cracks because it's a bit unrealistic

[lapis forge]

well, if you're using a thin layer of the pain

then yes

[long briar]

i've never actually used these types of black paints, but if even Acrylic paint blocks light, I'd imagine this kind of black paint would as well

[lapis forge]

could very well be, since i also didnt use those types of paints

[long briar]

okay and?

that doesn't make disc drives any more relevant than they already aren't

[lapis forge]

but im thinking as like the concept, say you paint a led with a small coat of blue paint, after the light passes through the paint it would be blue light right?

[long briar]

Are you aware of how red and blue 3d glasses work

[lapis forge]

generaly, yeah

[long briar]

like this

it'd basically be the same concept

[vapid smelt]

thats red and green

[novel notch]

but they still fit

[lapis forge]

exactly, so basically making a led that emits black light is virtually impossible right? you'd only emit gray light

[long briar]

in your particular case yes. but it's also covered by a cover for a reason

[long briar]

I explained this in the beginning. Black is the absence of light. You can't create an absence of light using a light emitter

Any attempts in creating black using a light emitter is just eye trickery through contrast

[lapis forge]

yeah, i dont know where i was going with this

[vapid smelt]

Brown light

[lapis forge]

wasn't there at one point a LTT Minecraft server?

[vapid smelt]

yes but i killed it

[gleaming harbor]

mb i put 69 tnts and set it off

[long briar]

only?

[opal thunder]

fr?

Nvm i thought that message said 690000

[gleaming harbor]

i forgot to put the joke indicator on

[opal thunder]

No, my brain is just doing funny business as usual.

[gleaming harbor]

ok

[fossil frost]

is it just me, or is linus one of the few people who now looks older without the beard...

[languid siren]

they should try it again with the "Folia" software by papermc

[gleaming harbor]

anarchy server, 2b2t

[fossil frost]

yes, but people are arseholes, so they killed it 🙂

[tender echo]

My internet is connected to the wall with the cable wire right and I don't know if it's at all possible but I have cable outlet in my room do you think I could use a cable or ethernet to cable wire to give my pc wifi

[lapis forge]

thats disappointing

[fossil frost]

cables are better than wireless in almost all circumstances

if your computer lives in a fixed location... wires... if it is frequently moved about AND you cant move the wire round with it... then wifi

[tender echo]

Well I mean like I don't know if it'll connect

Yeah it's a desktop

And it has a wifi card

With 2 antenna

Annteni?

[languid siren]

hoes it have a ethernet port on the IO?

[tender echo]

Yeah it's got ethernet

The wifi card it built in with the board

[languid siren]

as pointed out by Bizzehdee
a cable is most of the time better then wifi,
do you have the right cable to connect it?

[tender echo]

Not right now

I dont know if I have any cable to cable wire

Definitely not cable to ethernet

[languid siren]

the output is a old cable jack?

[tender echo]

Yeah

Not ethernet and I have a phone line I'm hoping to turn into a ethernet line

This is a 50's house so it kinda blows on new technology

Is it too stupid?

Like so unbelievably stupid or?

[languid siren]

no I don't think so

maybe that somebody on reddit or on the ltt forms has an answer but I don't rn

[tender echo]

Ah okay thank you for trying

[manic torrent]

Possible, but not ideal. 100mbit possibly.

But also possibly only two wire.

[novel notch]

is your source not playing sounds corectly

[dreamy rose]

literally no. if you want black then turn it off.

well uh, no software would help since black is a lack of light. thats what makes dark dark. no light.

Hey guys

[novel notch]

this is austin
||sry had to||

[carmine stirrup]

So have you tried it with entirely different devices and gotten the same result?

If it's all with the same output device it could be there plug itself, but if you have tried it with different devices, like a phone and a PC, both with different speakers/headphones, then it's your ears

You'll have to narrow it down and remove possibilities

[fair estuary]

When your gf tries to surprise order you something but your number is connected to the internet privider and the surprise was ordered through them so it tells you. 🙃🤭. Maybe ill just act surprised when it comes

New tv inbound

[twilit pewter]

lol

[dreamy thorn]

the hype train has come to a sudden stop

😢

just saw on the news that the company changed hands and is doing a lot of changes, no wonder

[thorny river]

My auntie told me that Discord collects data. 😭💀

[dreamy thorn]

🐸 is she wrong?

[novel notch]

who doesnt

[thorny river]

Lol

[worthy saffron]

Great, now tell her that Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, probably every single tech service she has ever used, collects the same data, in bigger volumes.

[thorny river]

HAHAHA

[thorny river]

She said its a "public domain" wth that is

[novel notch]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain
that?

[thorny river]

Thx

[worthy saffron]

Discord is not really public domain, I know clients exist for it

[dreamy thorn]

no that's not what a public domain means

there's a difference between A public domain and just public domain

[worthy saffron]

You're right and they probably meant the first one

[dreamy thorn]

you think? I thought they meant a public domain as in a place where you can record

but idk

[novel notch]

thats why i asked

[thorny river]

She said to stop using Discord.

[worthy saffron]

That's probably what they meant

[thorny river]

Lollol😭😭

[worthy saffron]

Tell her that Facebook is a public domain and spyware and she should stop using it

[thorny river]

K.

[novel notch]

what communication platform did she mention as an alternative

[worthy saffron]

"Use Facebook or whatsapp!"

[thorny river]

"SMS" what the hell

[novel notch]

did you mean "meta or meta"
😆

[novel notch]

is she made of money

[thorny river]

Yes

[carmine stirrup]

I mean... SMS is sent entirely unencrypted. It's wider open for anyone to read as the messages flow through the web

[plain idol]

hi

[crisp lintel]

H

[thorny river]

192.198.16.13

[novel notch]

what should i do with that

[thorny river]

Send it to my auntie on facebook

[eternal hearth]

tell your aunt the government knows where she lives

[thorny river]

More solutions!!! I might Stop using Discordddd

[eternal hearth]

signal or telegram

[thorny river]

I eat bread ^

Yum

[manic torrent]

SMS doesn't travel via the internet though.

[steep girder]

Doesn't packet data take over these days?

[carmine stirrup]

I mean... "internet" is relative

is it routed by TCP/IP? Not directly.

Does it go over the same data pipes as everything else? Yes

[manic torrent]

I worked on systems that routed SMS 🙂

[carmine stirrup]

Does it have entirely different transmission systems and data pipes?

[harsh quartz]

Aight what the fuck haven’t you done at this point

[manic torrent]

Partly, yeah. Certainly it is/was unencrypted over the air.

[manic torrent]

I dunno, I just ... Do stuff.

[fierce moth]

for all we know, you could of worked on nuclear bombs /j

[harsh quartz]

Only If someone said something said something wrong about them tho

[manic torrent]

If I did, I certainly couldn't say

[manic torrent]

Lol it's not the war thunder forums

[harsh quartz]

No, but it’s probably why the Minecraft server shutdown. The T in LTT stands for thugshaker

[eternal hearth]

can you say that you did not?

[manic torrent]

I mean, Australia has no nuclear program, so yeah

[crystal pike]

quick question

[idle nymph]

im listening

[crystal pike]

Am i supposed to calibrate a newly replaced battery

By draining it

[idle nymph]

i dont know good luck finding the answer

[crystal pike]

why am i asking

am i supposed to find the answer in my physics book rn

no

[idle nymph]

id recomend google instead

[fierce moth]

theres this neat site called google

might of heard of it

[crystal pike]

its amazing how i have completely forgot about google

thanks i guess i did find the answer

[carmine stirrup]

Charging a bttery fully, then running it completely dry is how you calibrate it, yes

so long as you have some sort of battery minder, of course

[crystal pike]

I only did the charging to a 100 thing and now the battery fully charges at 81%

[carmine stirrup]

after fully charging it, what did you do?

run it all the way down?

[crystal pike]

no

[carmine stirrup]

ah

[crystal pike]

yeah

[carmine stirrup]

have you run it all the way down at all?

[crystal pike]

not yet
I will tho today

[carmine stirrup]

it may take a few times of full charge and full discharge to calibrate it

[crystal pike]

Its at 55% at this very moment

[crystal pike]

Would that damagebthe new battery?

I mean it's a replacement from china

its why i didn't let it run out

Still better than the old replacement which would increase from 70 to 90 after rebooting or decrease lol

[harsh quartz]

That’s what they want us to think, but clearly something created the New Zealanders, and it wasn’t nature

Also there are already issues with the apple vision headset needing to be plugged in and can’t cause of its proprietary connector, so that whole thing omelette went on about the other day is ironic

[crystal pike]

waste of time

[carmine stirrup]

No, the battery minder in the phone will keep the battery from truly running to 0

[crystal pike]

Nice

I calibrated the old replacement by running it out, then constantly powering the phone on till it was unable to boot

thats what im supposed to do again right?

[carmine stirrup]

It's not completely necessary to do the thing where you power it on till it doesn't boot at all. However, if it never does get to 100% then you'll need to try that method

If it still doesn't behave correctly, thent it might actually be the battery minder in the phone that's gone sideways

[crystal pike]

my s10 plus is a phone designed to be used and abused so i don't think so

[crystal pike]

Yeah ill do that because well it never goes beyond that 90%

The closest it got to was 84%

[vital lintel]

Howdy

How goes it?

On wheels?

Treads, wings, rotors?

[full fossil]

yo i need someones help kinda quickly, last night i turned my xmp from auto to 2900 and saved changes in the bios, now my computer is giving me a black screen, but i cant turn it off, holding down power button wont work and im scared to do anything if its going through bios changes or something

[eager notch]

Reset cmos

[full fossil]

i was planning that but with it still on?

[eager notch]

I mean I've done it with the computer on to no ill effect, but I'd recommend just turning the power off at the PSU

[full fossil]

alr

[full fossil]

reseted ram and cmos no effect

[lapis forge]

could someone help me identify if this case fits an rx6900xt?

How much could I sell my pc for?
Specs:

Mobo: aorus b550m pro-p
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Ram: 32gb Corsair rgb pro
Psu: 650w Corsair gold rated modular
Gpu: rx 7600

[fierce moth]

look up your parts brand new and cut a quarter

maybe a 3rd

depending on how much usage its gotten

[north raptor]

Less than a year

Couple of months

[restive lion]

However much people will pay. Post it somewhere for what you think it's worth (usually around 1/4 less than new) and if no one bites then lower the cost.

[crystal pike]

I couldn’t get to reboot ut

So found this tonbe tge best way to kill the battery

Its at 0% rnlmao

[thorny juniper]

if it doesent die put it in a freezer and it will die faster

ik because i had to kill a tablet battery that way

[crystal pike]

I really can’t tell if this is sarcasm or an actual tip

[thorny juniper]

its true

iv done it

[crystal pike]

Can i ping on here

Or is it illegal

[thorny juniper]

depends

[merry cargo]

I refuse to play graphically demanding games so that my PC doesn't get body dysmorphia

[crystal pike]

What about including an apology

Incase its illegal

[thorny juniper]

it's not

[fossil frost]

"im sorry i did what i did, but i did murder someone"... saying sorry as part of the thing you are not supposed to be doing, doesnt make the thing ok

[graceful burrow]

Bank robbery

[steep girder]

ALWAYS charge it before download mode. Try holding voldn+power button until it reboot tho

[steep girder]

Worked much better in 1934 tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apq46lA0uSM

[crystal pike]

I literally just want to ping someone

[crystal pike]

The point is to drain it via download mode and it worked

[steep girder]

Ah fair enough

[crystal pike]

Malorie said it was okay

[steep girder]

Yeah the new bootloop fix 2024 lol

If only we could still take out our own device's dang batteries easily, amirite

Only beef I have w download mode drain is the screen burnin can get real if you're on OLED

[crystal pike]

agreed

[crystal pike]

yeah thats something i genuinely dislike since it blasts the screen at full brightness for moments then decreases it a bit

But my batt was at 0% so it wasn't gonna last for too long

[steep girder]

Yeah lucky it wasn't near 100 or something :P

[crystal pike]

Which is also weird because it would get fully charged at 81%

At least the battery is a good one

Lasted me the entire day today

Had to charge it at 3 pm because i wanted to but i had woken up at 4 am and used it throughout the day for lots of things

a total sot of 2 hours but mostly navigation, music, and pictures and texting so still pretty good
I hope it lasts for a good while

[vapid smelt]

Why are we digging back 6 years

[alpine ether]

Hello

[restive lion]

to find every bad word you've said

and then show it to your grandmother

[vapid smelt]

[steep girder]

Can anybody recommend me a decent (potentially freeware/open source) 3rd party firewall for Win NT (10)?

Avast is trying to pull a hundy from me and you know what... it's trash. So is their VPN. Whole reason I decided to try their VPN was under the assumption it would all at least be controlled through their same "Avast One" app as the antivirus/wall

Boy was I wrong

[restive lion]

i mean as long as you're not downloading stupid shit, windows defender will do a fine job

[steep girder]

https://imgur.com/a/Ox0UzAv

[steep girder]

Yeah for antivir I don't really need one tbh. It's the firewall

Defender firewall is to this day filled with holes and immutable rules which let through various services etc

So main concern is installing a replacement firewall into the winsock filters or whatever when Avast subscription runs out (I got about a month)

Defender antivirus yeah I'll live with it

It's workable these days. I'll give MS that...

[restive lion]

i dont really bother with firewalls on windows

too much of a pain in the arse, to each their own though

[steep girder]

Fair enough

[restive lion]

ive got little snitch running on my mac though

since i use that on the daily unlike my windows machine

[eager notch]

I saw my old next door neighbor who moved away about a decade ago on the news after he stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death, so there's that.

[steep girder]

Oh yeah mac I heard these days is hard mode. Doesn't it track and send to Apple literally current applications used, etc?

[restive lion]

ive yet to see anything that comes close to little snitch on windows

[restive lion]

as a side effect of a good-intentioned safety feature, yes

[steep girder]

True that

[restive lion]

id love to see something that comes close to this on windows tbh

[steep girder]

Daaang. That's a hella interface

Geo ip open connections and draws on map. This should be standard tbh

[restive lion]

only annoyance is in games when it pops up with network requests

[steep girder]

Yeah that's the similar issue w avast's. Honestly there's no way around that if you want live prompts

Worst is when im using controller in bed. The window is secure so if one of those pops up during that... yeah I'm getting up and having to use actual mouse to close it

[restive lion]

nop, i dont really mind it, i just whitelist games and manually block some domains usually

dont starve pings every fucking server when browsing the server list lol

[steep girder]

Oh oof. Yeah valve's games only retrieve directly from server if you try to open server details with the player list and all

Otherwise just the basic list should really be a master-only deal

How long does the server list take to refresh then lol

[restive lion]

dunno i only opened it once

[steep girder]

Lol and never again since

[restive lion]

after that i stuck to right clicking on friends to press join game

[steep girder]

Heh

[deep arrow]

hey 👋

[timber tapir]

hi

[stoic beacon]

Apple devices are not what you want to use if you value privacy.

[steep girder]

You can say that again. I recall a Louis Rossmann vid where he said the more serious problem was they sent the data plaintext :P

So the scare if I understood correctly was that it opened up people to stalkers because they could potentially see location + activity realtime

I hope they fixed at least that I guess

[stoic beacon]

I'm sure they did...Apple's thing is more of "we will protect you from other people stealing your data for free because we'd rather sell it to them."

[restive lion]

apple doesnt sell the data

they just ship it to the US feds

[stoic beacon]

If you believe that, I've got a bridge in London I'll sell you

[restive lion]

if you value privacy you use linux anyways so

[exotic rune]

is there a list of parts that LTT has used in videos?

[restive lion]

doubt it

that would be a very very long list

[manic torrent]

To what end?

[exotic rune]

Like to find out if they've used a certain case in a video

[sonic cave]

So like the arc a750 good with a 650w psu?

[hearty spear]

more than enough

[hearty spear]

has LTT used this part in a video:
"Most likely yes"

[eager notch]

I ran a 3090 and 3900x on a 650w PSU, you're just fine

[plain bough]

What are the big compute centers using for Remote PCIe? I thought PCIe over fiber was a thing but all the websites are from the 90s.....

[tiny sky]

Your sentence is blowing my mind

[neat gull]

Any of you know about ceiling fans

I need help

Replacing one rn and don’t know what to disconnect

[indigo plume]

Got the tab s9 ultra to replace my crappy laptop

Since I just use laptop for media consumption

Not like I need it for excel or anything

So it's quite useful

And the screen is so much better than my laptop

After getting OLED don't think I can go back to lcd

[calm swan]

which laptop

[indigo plume]

Was some cheap Lenovo

[calm swan]

rip

[velvet root]

I'm getting interested in having an oled display for my next laptop but i like to have office and vscode open so I'm worried about burn-in

[whole swallow]

not sure what you mean besides opening the relevant breaker. If you're not familiar with electrical work I'd call a professional to make sure it gets wired and installed correctly because safety/insurance/liability/etc.

[neat gull]

I turned the right breaker off I just don’t know what I should take off and what shouldn’t be taken off

Also I meant disconnect as in wires*

[whole swallow]

I'd consult the manual from there. They're pretty ez pz to look up online

[neat gull]

The hell

[neat gull]

Don’t know the model or anything

my parents’ friend know stuff so until tomorrow I’ll wait

[whole swallow]

looks like there's some weight on one of the neutrals, you'll wanna relieve that strain. The wiring diagram on the controller there should be all the info you need but yea, be good to wait and get help if you're not sure

[thin tulip]

Bad idea: As an euntrprenuer, make your bussiness name Dissapointment. (Diss. Industries, Cleaners, Inc, ect.) All your maketing will be done for you. People will share word of your bussiness simply because of the name.

[dreamy rose]

thoughts on Intel's naming scheme?

[wispy marsh]

As bad as Apple

[dreamy rose]

how is the average consumer supposed to know that the 165U is far worse than the 165H right?

[molten shuttle]

Now no longer a CEO, what does Linus have a say over? Like what can he manage in the company?

[dreamy rose]

i thnk he just took a step down from the CEO position. so hes like, below that. though what hes called himself sounded like some nonsense

[cold prism]

He's still the owner

[molten shuttle]

ah

[full fossil]

Chief vision pro officer

[dreamy rose]

now "don't buy intel laptops unless you wanna eye off spec sheets for the difference between a letter" is literal good advice. this is fucked

[polar fern]

Him and Yvonne affectively own the company jointly

[wheat karma]

Apple Music removed all my pink noise loops that I used to stream for the past 5 years every night! Not many pink/white noise loop are available now and they take down entire albums each week! What’s going on?

[spice pine]

Could be a lot of different things, and isn't necessarily Apple removing them. I know a lot of independent distributors are cracking down on "ambient noise" artists that share too much similarity in basic noises, collecting paychecks for essentially nothing

[rain dust]

Ayo anyone know sum gud/cheap story games? Titanfall 2 was okay i just played it

[dreamy rose]

[rain dust]

bioshock 1 was gud also

[dreamy rose]

i found these in one of those "good free steam games" videos (some of these aren't story games but they are ones i found interesting enough to pick up) but there is Birdgut, How Fish Is Made, Island Saver, Tag: The Power Of Paint, High Entropy Challenges and i found this one a while ago but Quantum Tripper.

[molten shuttle]

[molten shuttle]

Mint is the only linux distro that works properly with my bluetooth adapter

Parrot and Kali failed, windows 11 also failed in properly using bluetooth

[dreamy rose]

don't start on Windows. fuck man, windows bluetooth is so bad. they have the WORST implimentation of bluetooth ever seen.

i'd literaly have to REBOOT INTO LINUX to turn my goddamn bluetooth on. and thats Windows 10!

and guess what? it barely even worked with any device!

[molten shuttle]

I originally had Windows, then moved to kali, back to windows, then parrot, then windows again, until finally installed Mint.

[molten shuttle]

you want to know whats funny?

My laptop came PRE-INSTALLED WITH WIN11, and you would think that HP would GET THE BLUETOOTH WORKING]

[dreamy rose]

thats not the fault of HP, thats microsoft

they royally fucked up BT on windows.

[molten shuttle]

question. since when do they not fuck up?

[dreamy rose]

but it can happen where thing don't get drivers installed on linux and you gotta install it yourself

its pretty common with Nvidia GPUs since they aren't able to be disributed in kernel unlike Radeon

[molten shuttle]

My laptop has radeon iGPU

[dreamy rose]

though these "Open Source" drivers are coming out, hopefully thats not an issue anymore. cant say the same for other issues.

they didn't actually open source anything. they just package all of it into prorpietary "blobs" and say "hey this bit is open source there you go now stop complaining and start buying"

[molten shuttle]

bruh-

[dreamy rose]

i'm sure you'd like the believe that buddy, but thats not how it works

[night heron]

s1854 don’t waste your time engaging with bionic

[dreamy rose]

windows is actually problematic.

[night heron]

he’s known for having unreasonable opinions

[dreamy rose]

only unreasonable thing i've said is the case in which Nvidia dies out, which wont happen because of the general consensus people have reached that shilling Nvidia is okay.

i've consistently stated fact after fact. and if you cant agree with it. its a tough pill to swallow friend. but its gotta be taken.

[molten shuttle]

tbh Windows has a shit-ton of bloat iirc
