That isn't the problem

[calm swan]

?

[vapid smelt]

it will last longer

[craggy rose]

Comparing numbers is a pretty good way to know what you could get out of a phone but it doesn't mean anything besides that

[calm swan]

no lol, asks for faceid most of the time

the one time it asked me for my icloud password was when i was setting up the phone

yes

[craggy rose]

Theoretically you could get more performance with an iphone

[green kernel]

here new iphone costs like 4 good android phones

[calm swan]

d9300 technically is the fastest phone soc

but nobody fuckin uses it

[vapid smelt]

then move to a better place ez pz

[green kernel]

bruh.

[calm swan]

ipone se 4 with a16 would be killer ngl

[green kernel]

i don't fucking need your motherfucking iphone

[hot tartan]

6s my beloved

[vapid smelt]

im still on my pixel 5a

[craggy rose]

Yeah, because it doesn't matter, having good software is way more important than a slight synthetic performance gain

[vapid smelt]

oh so you like edging

[calm swan]

well then i guess xiaomi and samsung are already out of that race

[green kernel]

I genuinely don't understand that brain rot around apple "fans"
thats absolutely brainless people, who are kind of people to buy alieware pcs and ask questions how to turn on something and do 5 literally everywhere in their fucking overpriced focus

[calm swan]

me who uses a 15 pro

[craggy rose]

One UI is great, it's simple, fast, allow customization

[calm swan]

so much bloat lol

[craggy rose]

Mi UI Idk

[calm swan]

miui and hyperos are straight rips of ios

[craggy rose]

Brah

[calm swan]

everything xiaomi makes is a rip of something

su7 great example

hyperos also great example

also goodlock on samsung reminded me of ios when i saw it running on my friends s21u

oneui isnt bad, its just the unecessary apps that are preloaded on samsungs phones, even their high end ones

[craggy rose]

There are people that use all those apps, in the same way that you might use all "apps" that apple pre install on the phone

[calm swan]

like why the hell do i need duplicates of every damn google app

im specifically talking about samsung, im well aware

[calm swan]

but why do i need a duplicate of the google app thats already on the phone

just give me one or the other

i also barely use like any ios preinstalled app

[craggy rose]

You can uninstall all of them

There you go

[graceful burrow]

sounds like a waste of battery ngl

[calm swan]

ik moto does this, used a moto g5 once lol

nah idt so

[graceful burrow]

who do you think makes the moto phones

[craggy rose]

iPhones you can just tap 3 times in the back of the phone

[calm swan]

LENOVO

[craggy rose]

Huawei you just press the screen

[calm swan]

god the hello moto startup thing haunts me

idk if they still have that

[craggy rose]

Or give it 3 knocks

[calm swan]

its been like 5-6 years since ive used that phone

tf

[green kernel]

sigh

[calm swan]

doesnt need to be there in the first place is all im saying

just keep the samsung apps and the play store

[craggy rose]

I agree

[calm swan]

i dont need both google and samsung messages

[craggy rose]

Well, actually it is the same app

[green kernel]

this over consumption pisses me off on so many levels

[craggy rose]

Just with a different skin

[calm swan]

thats even dumber lol

[green kernel]

buying apple is buying e waste marketed for human waste

[calm swan]

?

[craggy rose]

I don't think that he directed any Personal insults

[calm swan]

as much as i hate macos, please give me a laptop with better battery life than a macbook

[graceful burrow]

nah it's still kinda fucked up

[hot tartan]

Oh nice

[vapid smelt]

[median idol]

Pub Chat being Pub Chat I see

[graceful burrow]

just get a flip phone ez

[vapid smelt]

but thats a lie

[calm swan]

i mean if you want the best of the best performance just grab an rog phone or redmagic

why even bother with an iphone or samsung

[vapid smelt]

both cost 699

[green kernel]

cope that you spend your life crying that you can't afford your lastest phone

[calm swan]

nobody except the ultra rich buys a phone year after year...

[green kernel]

thats is not worth it, brother

[graceful burrow]

can you not be inflammatory af my guy

[craggy rose]

With current windows and recent-ish CPU you can get an acceptable amount of battery life

And sleep is kinda working

At least I think

[calm swan]

16 ish hours tho (yes this is what my friend gets on his m2 macbook pro)

[vapid smelt]

[calm swan]

i havent seen a single soul with an iphone buy a phone every year lol

theres nothing that competes with it

[craggy rose]

Well

[calm swan]

as well as performance away from power

[green kernel]

apple is corporation that is purposefully malicious, specifically lobbying against competition so they can get dumb idiots stuck in sheep pen

[calm swan]

bro hasnt heard of samsung or google lol

theyre the same thing

[craggy rose]

That's just kinda impossible, though Intel tried with the " atom rebranded " cores

[calm swan]

no company is "good"

[green kernel]

apple specifically make it worse

if apple were to disappear suddenly it would have been much better world

[craggy rose]

They are in the public eye

[calm swan]

moto makes good stuff

the edge is cool

[craggy rose]

That's what drives apple

[calm swan]

i personally like the op12 this year ngl

[green kernel]

you all just brainwashed into apple fans and i am looking from outsider prospective..
over consumption.. extreme over consumption..

jesus.. where humanity is even heading?..

[calm swan]

[craggy rose]

Everyone keeps buying their overpriced thing just because it's apple, everyone knows it

[vapid smelt]

i never owned a apple product, and your a furry so your opinion doesn't matter

[craggy rose]

That will lead to bankruptcy

Bankruptcy

Holy moly, what a weird word

this is funny
you don't have a good counter argument .

Just buy their thing, support them

[polar fern]

Sigh

I forgot about humans

[muted tusk]

humans are stupid

[green kernel]

my point, removing apple could easily remove good chunk of lobbying

[green kernel]

i bet in background he trades illegal substances

[polar fern]

His money originally came from unethical gem mining so the fact that anyone trusts what he says, or worships what he does to me is more than unsettling

He has not created or invented anything

as if apple is better, they literally had su1cide nets in one of their factories so people couldnt unalive themselves

cause the working conditions were that bad

Did they actually thats terrible

[graceful burrow]

apple didnt
foxconn did, who apple uses

[craggy rose]

Apple uses like everyone else China Labor Labor and that includes foxxconn

[graceful burrow]

a lot of companies use foxconn

is it foxxconn

[craggy rose]

And happened in Japan too

I think

[graceful burrow]

almost like factories feel inherently dehumanizing idk

Imagine getting told you're getting a job at a lighthouse to maintain it, but you just install a bunch of sensors and tech to automate your job, while also using Starlink to moonlight for another job in a WFH role.

WFL?
Work from Lighthouse.

[crystal flare]

Greetings people of the New World Order, Alyks the Emerald Sage here!

[nova ingot]

Greetings, I hope you bring good Timings.

[lethal imp]

an hour each way would be a bit far for a college course wouldnt it?

[craggy rose]

To all cabbages, have a great night of sleep

[craggy rose]

If you have a motorcycle

Nah

Depending on where you live, might give a try on Public transportation

[lethal imp]

an hour is by car

[craggy rose]

Oh

[lethal imp]

it would take an hour 10 mins by train and walking

[craggy rose]

So you are fine

Go ahead with the course man

[lethal imp]

id have to apply anyway

its level 3 videography, film and photography

[craggy rose]

Nice

You will fall in love with 35mm film

Put a fast f1.4 lens and boom

[lethal imp]

yea its a nice idea since im alr doing photography and graphics at school anyway, only applying mainly as a backup since its like 1-2 grades less than what ive alr applied for

[craggy rose]

Wait

[graceful burrow]

did i make it on time to the film photography chat

[craggy rose]

So you are not already a photographer?

[lethal imp]

i am

[craggy rose]

Oh, alright

[craggy rose]

You have arrived just in time

[lethal imp]

im doing photography at gcse atm then id move on to a level or to that level 3 course

[lethal imp]

some cool photos im using for my proj atm

[craggy rose]

Understood now

Well, good luck man

And if you want to emulate a film like visual, buy a Fujifilm

[graceful burrow]

i say shoot real film, coward

[lethal imp]

loooooooool

[craggy rose]

Takes ages to learn by trying

[graceful burrow]

it does not take that long kek

[lethal imp]

thing is that costs money which i do not have

and a job isnt easy to get for me rn

[graceful burrow]

shoot the cheap shit

kentmere

[lethal imp]

could do

hopefully i can get a job soon but theres none opening ip that i can do

[craggy rose]

Developing film can take a really long time

Not that the process is long

[graceful burrow]

a week

if you have to ship it

same day if you have a shop near you

[craggy rose]

That's the thing

[graceful burrow]

i see, this isnt the film photography chat

[lethal imp]

i can get it developed easy tbf

[graceful burrow]

[craggy rose]

🤠

[craggy rose]

So it would be great for you

[muted tusk]

[jade lantern]

Should I mount the monitor mount over or under the desk pad?

Before I head it over and it looks a little weird

You'll be seeing it from the back this time too, which also looks a little messed up

That is always on the top so it doesn't matter if it gets squished really I guess

[cold prism]

Cut out a square in the pad

[jade lantern]

That's just evil

[cold prism]

[alpine gale]

If you don't ever plan to remove the mousepad regularly / are okay rolling it up out of the way if you need the hard desk surface for whatever reason, you could tuck it under the monitor stand base. I have the same problem with my Kanto mount on my 48x30" IKEA LINNMON desk, but decided to just leave the deskpad overtop the Kanto monitor stand base mount for now.

[jade lantern]

I just moved my desk somewhere so that way it can go all the way up and I put it all the way up to 50 in and it was scary sitting on top

[jade lantern]

I don't plan to ever need to move it and I also didn't on my last setup

[cold prism]

My pad is 1000x500 and my desk is just barely deep enough to not have this issue

[jade lantern]

I assume it's going to leave a permanent dented spot in the pad?

[cold prism]

Yeah probably

[sand igloo]

Necessary evil, if you will.

[jade lantern]

I think I got the 1300 by 300 desk pad

It was the biggest size in side to side direction

I'll just put the mount on top of it

Current setup 💪

[sand igloo]

[cold prism]

How do I add a 2nd monitor to my setup without blocking my speakers

[jade lantern]

Yeah that looks a lot nicer

[jade lantern]

Show some pictures

[cold prism]

Right here

[jade lantern]

Oh u did

Stack vertical

[cold prism]

But then I couldn't see the tv

[jade lantern]

Vertical is always to answer

[jade lantern]

Put it on the wall next to the TV

[cold prism]

But it's pretty far from the TV

What if I got a really tiny monitor and put it under the main one

[jade lantern]

So is my projector, I have a HDMI over and ethernet cable

I think it adds a little bit of delay but I don't know because it's already delayed

[cold prism]

Yeah the TV is actually a 2nd monitor already I guess

[jade lantern]

And it's over a display part to HDMI adapter

[cold prism]

It's connected via 30' hdmi 2.1 and does 4k 120hz

[jade lantern]

The TV?

[cold prism]

Ye it's an LG c1

65" which you can't really tell due to camera lens

[vapid smelt]

im very sad i went dumpster diving at he bestbuy that closed for good yester day and all i found where shelves

[jade lantern]

Did they have like a mega discount

Or was it all just regular priced and then they shipped it away?

[hot tartan]

Damn that sucks

[vapid smelt]

mostly regualr priced and allot of open box stuff

i set it to that

[jade lantern]

Set what to what?

[vapid smelt]

set to watch akn876 moms old homemade videos

[jade lantern]

Coming together once again

There's two things that annoy me a ton with this desk pad

[vapid smelt]

hang man

[jade lantern]

Those two or three orange dots on the lower part of this image are all parts from the orange stripe that go through and I always think it's dirt or something

[jade lantern]

Yep

And my index cables

[still olive]

Why

[jade lantern]

I've had three replaced headsets. Two additional replace the cables, to controllers, and a base station

In one year

I almost had to replace the cable cuz it was going spotty again and it's not like I'm even rough with this

There's no way they made money off of me lol

[still olive]

How do you destroy three headsets

[jade lantern]

I didn't destroy them. They just didn't work out of the box or broke after a while

It's $1,000 and I'm not like completely rich so I was always super careful with it

Then again everything was shipped with FedEx

One of the controllers at base station in the headset were dead out of the box

[still olive]

$1000 for headsets thats ridiclous

[jade lantern]

I mean it's for the whole cat

Kit

[vapid smelt]

cat?

[jade lantern]

Voice typing doesn't like me today

Rebuilding my setup so I'm still on mobile

I don't know if I should put my computer on the right or left side

[vapid smelt]

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-vision/apple-vision-pro

[jade lantern]

I guess the left now

[still olive]

Oh i thought he meant headphones

[jade lantern]

What do you think? Whenever I meant controllers and base stations?

I hate how it adds punctuation now and just cuts my sentences in half

[vapid smelt]

[still olive]

Who on earth is spending that much for headphones like you can build.a.pc for that

[jade lantern]

My entire gaming setup cost less than that

Besides my valve index

My valve index costs more than my whole computer

And monitors and monitor stand

[still olive]

Bruh

[jade lantern]

It's still worth it

I don't know where I'm going to plug in my computer yet

I have a few ports but I want to put it all into one

I popped the breaker in my room once

[pliant karma]

I popped the breaker for my room a couple of times.

do not run your portatble heater on a extension cord, this was dumb panda before he knew not to do that.

[jade lantern]

Well open my heated blanket heater and everything off of one power strip

One of them was popping so I had to use the other

And it also runs one of my valve index space stations

And it's underneath the rug by the way

Already 10:23 I better hurry this out

Up

I decided I want my computer on the right now so I have to move everything

Going to try it without taking the monitors all the way off and just trying to slide it over

This is really heavy to the front. Maybe it's a bad idea but I'll keep going

I'm not putting All of this back on

[still olive]

Just clean off one of the shelves and put it.on there

[jade lantern]

My computer?

[still olive]

Yes

[jade lantern]

It needs to go up and down with the desk. Otherwise cables won't reach

I haven't go about a foot and a half up or down if I want to stand or not

[still olive]

Oh ok or just buy longer cables

[jade lantern]

I could but the ones I have right now work and I don't want to change it

And I've bought a ton of expensive stuff this month already

About $600 worth of that McDonald's paycheck

[still olive]

Fair

[jade lantern]

Have about a hundred left before I go under how much I got in the last 2 weeks

I do get paid on the 7th so I can probably spend a little bit

I'm getting my nas built finally

[still olive]

Nah save your money up

[jade lantern]

Bought up the drives that I'm buying the computer now

I mean I have $1,000 that I always keep my balance above

[still olive]

Thata a good amount if anything bad happens

[jade lantern]

Unless it's my car

But everything else will be fine

My dad crashed into my truck with the trailer hitch on my mom's suburban

It went into the air conditioner radiator but didn't make it into the regular radiator

[still olive]

Damn thats not good

[jade lantern]

I didn't have air conditioning anyway only heat

I've been to bumper down two a ton so it was scraping the wheels but they yanked it back into place

Can't really tell any

They did have to get me new headlights though cuz it totally shattered one of them and broke the other

[still olive]

Do you live in a hotnplace

[jade lantern]

I live south of Kansas City so it's not too hot

But I've never had the air conditioning working anyway

My brother says that I need to put in more coolant or whatever it is that goes in there

He thinks it has a leak somewhere

[still olive]

Youre not much if a car guy then

[jade lantern]

Nope

I'm the tech person and he's the car person

He bought the exact same computer that I got

[still olive]

Always good to have one of each in the family

[jade lantern]

And the same monitors

He wants the valve index but the him it's not worth it

[still olive]

Probaly also plays the same games

[jade lantern]

For me it is because I Play VR a lot but on the quest too it was super laggy

I was helping my dad reset his Google password because he wanted to buy something in an app but it wanted his Google password that he didn't know

He got so mad because he kept pressing the wrong buttons and not reading anything and he says they were making it super hard

[still olive]

What games can you play on vr with pc

[jade lantern]

I'll send my PC part picker setup

[still olive]

Lol thats dads for ya

[jade lantern]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/89fdJy

The CPU overheats unless I leave the front panel of the case off

At least whenever I'm playing stuff like beat saber

That takes a lot of power

[still olive]

Nice rig what games do you play with vr

[vapid smelt]

get a real case and cooler then

[jade lantern]

Mostly just beat saber

I have like 330 hours or something

[jade lantern]

I was going to upgrade the CPU and cooler

Was going to get something 13th gen I-9

Probably won't happen sometime soon though

[vapid smelt]

MSI B650 VS. MSI X670E

[jade lantern]

Well I have a 1080p 180 FPS one now

I need to update my setup on that

I have that generic keyboard but it's actually kind of nice for fast typing

Doesn't have a lot of travel and is pretty responsive

[still olive]

Just water cool your pc

[jade lantern]

I don't want to put that much effort into it

[still olive]

Fair enough

[jade lantern]

I don't need all the nice accessories this was a budget build

[still olive]

Pretty good budget build

[coarse folio]

Alr, thx. Was already planning on going with the x670E but I saw the B650 and the RGB was convincing me. 💀

[jade lantern]

It was a prebuilt

[still olive]

Especially with 3 monitors

[jade lantern]

But my setup is on a budget

[coarse folio]

I’m gonna stick with the X670E.

[jade lantern]

Got the monitors that are listed on there for free, my new main one is like a hundred bucks or something

[still olive]

Gotta get that rgb tho

[coarse folio]

Nah.

I want to go around dumpster diving at tech shops.to see what i can find whats a good.time to.do it at

[nova ingot]

A teach savvy tech shop knows the value of what its throwing out and will atempt to resale online.
Try offices/homes.

desktops with 4790 not k were being tossed out at some offices.

[nova ingot]

whats the reason you went with x670e? I narrowed it down to it when I really wanted the non-e model.

[jade lantern]

This looks half decent with the computer in the back

[nova ingot]

it came down to fully populating all m.2 slots without losing lanes for me.

[still olive]

Looks good

[coarse folio]

Took a lot of time and talked with some people who were a lot smarter than me with PC building.

[nova ingot]

You can save $70-100 or so if you dont need it.

[jade lantern]

This monitor stand was 30 bucks and it's really finicky but I'm not complaining

[nova ingot]

or get more features for the same bang for the buck

Had to rule out Asus x670-E and x670e-e for x670e-f because of lanes.

[still olive]

So when do you think i should.look.around

[vapid smelt]

and the fact they are asus

[nova ingot]

I'm not much of a dumpster diver, I just got a heads up from people who were tossing things out.

[west sentinel]

is it really true computer engineering are getting too competitive?

[nova ingot]

@vapid smeltI'm using an asus board and nvidia card in 2024. literally a bad value meme build

I can only do worse by using an AIO for a 7800x3D

or going intel

[still olive]

[olive saddle]

i know these two things arent really comparable

He already had the pcie drive he bought on my device so had to buy an adapter for him.

am back on the setup

had to use another old router to bridge a 5 foot gap in my cable lol

am down a little bit (like 100Mbps) but its fine

might get a longer cable when i get my NAS

and maybe 2.5G port

fine from the back until you see around the corner lol

maybe i should cover the spike strips?

[nova ingot]

need some double sided tape?

[jade lantern]

never

next i need to reorganise my room

have to move around some stuff

[nova ingot]

the lack of slack on that red cable worries me

Honestly might go and get it

They need to rerelease cases like this

[mystic tundra]

does anyone know this game

[night heron]

yeah but at the same time its age and rarity makes it cooler

[nova ingot]

I missed out on a better condition one a few years ago so might just grab it. IVe seen awesome builds using it

I'm just worried how that front panel is broken

[night heron]

there are good condition ones for sale used but theyre a few hundred bucks

[full fossil]

apparently there is another school shooting threat going on lmao

[nova ingot]

Its a tank though so could probably benefit from a spray paint to add character

[still olive]

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/k380/#specifications rate my case

[full fossil]

for my school specfically

[nova ingot]

at this point that barely narrows it down

Nah

thats what i was thinking

[still olive]

Add the switches to my case and turn it.on

[jade lantern]

i might get a hook under the desk to hang my index

[nova ingot]

might be cosmetic, might not. everything is rgb and software now so hardware swiches are rarer.

As long as it.doesnt get in your way why really bother

[still olive]

But how can you do that

[nova ingot]

some people are skilled like that

[still olive]

Beg parents friends any family until you get $500

[still olive]

Why cry

That not gonna get you money

[still olive]

Sell stuff that you dont need.

[coarse folio]

I don’t have much to sell.

I don’t have many items I don’t use.

[still olive]

Why do you need $500

[coarse folio]

Putting it towards savings and PC build.

[still olive]

How many jobs you got

[coarse folio]

One, but I’ll be helping out my grandparent for extra money and washing family members cars.

[still olive]

If you live in the city ask neighbours if they will pay you anything for some jobs. Or give you stuff to sell

[coarse folio]

Okay.

I’ll have to try that, tysm.

Is flight sim a good game and is it easy to play on pc

[neon mesa]

Depending on graphics settings

Though it's CPU heavy regardless of settings

Even my 5700x3D barely reach 80fps

And that's already high up in the sky

[graceful burrow]

The new Microsoft flight sim?
Yeah it's fairly heavy to run

[neon mesa]

With Terrain detail dropped down too

[still olive]

Ok so i problay cant run it with my 5500 and 5700xt

[vapid smelt]

should have got the faster 5800x3d

[neon mesa]

Soo... 5 fps more for $100 more

Definitely not worth it

[vapid smelt]

only $30-40 now

[still olive]

Depends where you live

[neon mesa]

$270 for 5700x3D, 370 for 5800x3D here

Sellers here are always unwilling to drop from MSRP

Even if the stock stays there for ages

[still olive]

Here a 5700x3d goes for $388aud

Rate my case https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/k380/#specifications

[neon mesa]

I don't live in the US

[vapid smelt]

sucks to be you

[neon mesa]

Not really

Cases here are cheap

While americans need to pay like what 100 for a half decent one

[vapid smelt]

but how often do ou need to buy a case vs a component

[neon mesa]

Not really losing out much anyway

The 5700x3D is near identical

[still olive]

Nuh uh better to be a aussie

[neon mesa]

Also, the existence of tray processors

The 7500F is very easily available here

There are unfortunate moments like that 5800x3D but it's still better than when I'm on europe

My 3080ti build is like 1200 bucks

[still olive]

Where are.you at

[tribal wyvern]

after watching LTTs video on the $20K monitor I can say it's probably my dream display

[neon mesa]

Currently, malaysia

[tribal wyvern]

I actually hate most OLED panels and find them unwatchable by default

I need to disable all image processing and vividness

More realistic black levels are good but not when you crush the entire scenes details making it hard to distinguish details

[old yacht]

its mroe work than its ever worth i promise, as pretty as it is

[tribal wyvern]

Definitely I just wish more displays were colour accurate that's all

[still olive]

I know it sucks that you can never actually. See what creators intend you to see

[tribal wyvern]

I wonder if that's part of the reason why people are saying the Apple Vision is looking better than their actual TV, because it probably doesn't blow the saturation way up

[hollow sage]

Anyone good at dual PC stream set up? I need full help. I’ll pay

[tribal wyvern]

I mean we could, OLEDs can easily display natural, realistic colours as well as having good black levels but display manufacturers just increase the saturation for some reason by default

[still olive]

Could you use apps to fix that

[tribal wyvern]

To a degree but my point is it shouldn't even be a thing

It's like gaming audio, it just distorts the image from what the creator intended to try to make it sound better but it just completely changes the experience

[still olive]

Yea i understand your point but if theres apps that can do that it.would be good

[tribal wyvern]

this is maybe my opinion but I'd like it to change where we have affordable studio monitor displays in the same way we have affordable studio monitor headphones for those who just want the content as it was intended to be seen

[still olive]

So i was wondering How can i create my own nas server with an old pc that would draw as.much power as. A laptop and also are there oses that are just like a nas im using linux mint as my plex server right now on my laptop.

[vocal raptor]

Most( high end ) gaming monitors are getting pretty color accurate but your right

[tribal wyvern]

I meant more so TVs

I can't have a gaming monitor in my lounge

[vocal raptor]

Samsung oddesy g9

[tribal wyvern]

anyway I dislike vivid mode on oleds and I don't think it'll change because I'm a rarity probably

it just ruins content and gives eyestrain for me

[vocal raptor]

As someone who has never used one but spends hours staring longly at them in videos I can’t relate

[tribal wyvern]

vivid mode just makes everything too bright and oversaturated

[manic torrent]

Why not? I do.

[still olive]

What size

Yeah but you also have another tv in your living room

[manic torrent]

I mean I also run a 48" OLED at my desk

[hollow mango]

You're living the dream

[pliant karma]

and a side monitor or you just purely single setup now?

[jagged dune]

Man jus has his PC in the living room the hell

[median idol]

If money grew on trees, I would love to have that Dual 4K Neo G9 with a Neo G8 on top with both being OLED because why not

[manic torrent]

I mean obviously I also have two 27s

[manic torrent]

Nope, PC is in the office, that's my laptop+egpu

[hollow mango]

Well a McDonalds fries and what also appears to be an "Aussie Angus Deluxe"

[pliant karma]

ohh nice. lol I am prob gonna redo my setup again. Barely use the top monitor so I can go back to a triple setup vs quad

[still olive]

Nice but why the first pic taking soo long to optimize

[manic torrent]

Slow CPU in the laptop

[still olive]

Ok

[pliant karma]

laptop connected to egpu too 🙂

I know a little too much on bobs setup

[manic torrent]

If I wanted better lounge performance I'd connect back to the PC

[still olive]

Are egpus any good

[median idol]

I'm in the process of redoing mine with a new desk. Especially with how fucking heavy my rig is so would still have to get a sturdy stand for it anyway

[pliant karma]

my desk is like tilted back a tad with all the monitors

so my pc is the only thing keeping it even

[violet zenith]

From my memory (it sucks) those are just GPUs made for AI

So I’m guessing they would be

I follow Chris Broad

[thick oyster]

As a topic of conversation or literally AI generated?

[still olive]

Whos that

[nova ingot]

Literally AI generated.
On a side note Recently I was listening to some narrated content of short SciFi stories. Some of it was good, but and miss, then in the last 7 days there’s a ton of AI generated content. Not just voiced which I don’t mind but the entire script

Is there a way to add a dedicated gpu to a mini pc as a portable gaming pc

[nova ingot]

My youtube algorithm probably suggests vex and ZacksTechTurk above LTT now 4 to 1

[still olive]

Is ztt any good

[nova ingot]

Depends what you mean by dedicated

Honestly just get a handheld of your move enough

[still olive]

Like a 3060ti

[nova ingot]

eGPU and thunderbolt but not really worth it.

Too much of a price premium. You can just build@a mini itx if you’re committed and savvy enough

Look into mini itx, but integrated is pretty good now

[manic torrent]

get a steam deck.

[gilded quest]

a mini pc + egpu kinda defeats the point of it being a mini pc, imo

[still olive]

Too expensive kinda just wanted a cord extension for m.2 or someting

only makes sense with a laptop in a space limited setting imho

How can i have a switch to start my pc that i can tape to my desk

As long as you aren’t challenging it with a forklift

[vapid smelt]

or drop kick it

it kinda bugs me that he put it such that the cpu is facing outside lol

if someone drops it on the cpu side

idk man

[vapid smelt]

we compress them with cpus coolers little drop will be fine

I mean if I lived like a savage, I could just pile boxes somewhere in the open but ooooof.

[strange elk]

That's why basements and closets exist

[manic torrent]

Lol basements. Also I have a lot of actual stuff.

[strange elk]

Ah. I dont.

[manic torrent]

If you stick to one hobby, ezpz.

I need all my electronics shit, computer shit, RC shit, tools, random spare parts, car parts, etc.

[nova ingot]

Me with a box of goods from all the places I visited but never found a place to put them

[strange elk]

I need to figure out what to do with a lot of my old shit. Most of it I dont care about anymore

[nova ingot]

🤑

I’d sell some of my stuff but I figure shipping is a hassle

Plus never know when there’s going to be a cultural moment where it’s suddenly skyrocking in value

||Pokémon cards||

[strange elk]

I wanted to collect yugioh cards but just because I wanted to play it.

To this day I have no one to play with since elementary school

[indigo atlas]

Ugh I need the role again

[strange elk]

I'm not getting rid of my old consoles for sure. Those stay

[nova ingot]

Had a kid over the other day wondering if was real

[indigo atlas]

[flat crescent]

Hey

[nova ingot]

“I’m sure these will be useful someday…”

[strange elk]

Are those mostly floppies?

Gentlmen

If you have choice to buy a ThinkPad or hp pavilion what laptop you choose

[carmine stirrup]

I can't answer

[mortal kraken]

It depends down to which, but ThinkPads anyways have a reputation of being reliable while the opposite can be said for HP

[full trench]

whats up with bread roll's?

[carmine stirrup]

Bread is superior

[fallow sundial]

[strange elk]

Thinkpad IMO.

But fresh install of windows because I dont trust Lenovo to provide clean software. Or nearly any SI for that matter

Be careful not to install Gentoo though, lest you become a gentlefem

[weary shadow]

hi

[full fossil]

thinkpad cause I know they will last me for over a year

[harsh quartz]

Rolls are the best form of bread

[strange elk]

If the thinkpad has a track nipple, even better. learned other models just dont for some reason

[sick coral]

apart from the obvious pal vs ntsc speed differences
and the integral release is japanese in places like the weapon descriptions where it doesnt matter (i think)
besides that, anything else?

[full fossil]

Lenovo laptops are surrely made to last toture

[gloomy pulsar]

Hello!!! 🤗

[inland oracle]

these are youtube's auto generated chapters of someone playing infinite craft 🤦‍♀️

i think they should stop doing auto generated chapters..

[full fossil]

Real asf

[elfin beacon]

Thinkpad

HP isn't great quality tbh

[strange elk]

Must. automate. house.

[elfin beacon]

Lol

me slowly doing that

Currently I've moved over to setting up sensors though haha

[strange elk]

Not quite what I meant

Interesting though

[elfin beacon]

Ah haha

[strange elk]

More like Horrid Products these days. Youve seen what they are doing with printers lately no? They genuinely think they are doing you a favor

I think they were doing $7 a month for 30 pages soon though. Source was either GN, Wan show or Louis Rossmann in order of likeliness

Nah. I refuse to support that company in any way. Im getting a Brother if I ever need a printer

They add DRM to those carts btw, I assume your printer is older

No, all HP ink and printers nowadays are DRM protected as far as Im aware

Printing

Digital Rights Management, literally only serves to make them money on the carts you havent used in a while and are full of ink still, or to not be able to use unofficial carts

This is why they get away with it though

As long as it doesnt affect them, its ok

[craggy rose]

I would buy a set of original inks and rip off the chip on them and put on some other ink

[strange elk]

But then those chips show the ink as depleted

[craggy rose]

O_o

[strange elk]

Thats what Im saying.

[craggy rose]

What a shitty business practice

[strange elk]

RIIIIIGHT???

Its almost as if big corpos want your money, loyalty and quality being a secondary concern just because they are a big brand

[craggy rose]

What if I found the IC responsible for the detection of the ink cartridges and bridge the wires in a way that it always thinks that you have ink?

I want to win the race

[strange elk]

At that point.. why not get a brother printer? then you just win because those dont have DRM

[craggy rose]

I'll find a way

Oh

Brother printer?

[strange elk]

Y'all act like HP is the only option

Dont give them money lmfao

[craggy rose]

I have an Epson

[craggy rose]

Nah

I just want to say to them that I have won

🤠

[strange elk]

The house always wins, that is until/if they fall

I say that but I also have an unpatched Switch that I rooted

Some battles just arent worth fighting tho
