i mean i paid 100 euros less for 4080 Super than i paid for my 2080 Ti when it was new

Why pull a stump out when. You can blow it up with 1/2lb of c4

[nova ingot]

I’m coming from a 1070!

Nice packaging but it sucks for actually holding the card again for resale

Had to put it in the box when I had to put it away after a bench test revealed a very noisy PSU and felt like it was going to slide out and fall over if I tipped over the box. The opposite of what a protective box should do

Also I use mine for GMOD and RTX remix

Hello, here for the first time, but been a fp member for a while,

Anyone here build a deej volume mixer, or do anything with arduino, i would like to build one, but dont want to pay 20 bucks for the board,

[crystal flare]

you're a disk jockey?

[upbeat ermine]

who spells dj "deej" lol

[limpid sluice]

it was in yesterdays main chanel video,

[nova ingot]

Deej speed Deej “Deej”

[upbeat ermine]

oh that thing with the faders & volume knobs?

[limpid sluice]

yea it looked like a good project to start learning and making things with arduino

[upbeat ermine]

yea

[limpid sluice]

i mean i don't know about the whole cardboard box but I'm sure i can find a project container for it,

[steady sky]

Hello all

How are we all doing?

[crystal flare]

hello

[crystal flare]

i'm doing well thank you.

[steady sky]

Ah great. I'm watching Dune 1 for the first time!

[grave valley]

i havent seen dune 2 but dune 1 was so boring. The 80's version wasn't a great film but i liked it more

[wispy marsh]

I just realised that the fallout between the sffguru server staff is really happening and there's no going back

New wanshow topic woohoo

[shut lichen]

The what

[lilac bear]

dune 2 has more action

less build up opposed to escalation

[kindred bison]

ugh I hate troubleshooting intermittent internet problems
now it's time to play the "is it my wifi or spectrum's connection" game

[harsh quartz]

Just assume it’s spectrum

[harsh quartz]

I mean, it’s an inherently political story, which is slow and boring, the movie was faithful to that

[digital rivet]

Hi, I like OnePlus

[graceful burrow]

Ok

[austere shale]

I think I’m gonna start wearing my shock watch again and shock myself anytime I’m scrolling YouTube shorts or the like and end up watching one of those brainrot videos with the falling GTA cars or Minecraft parkor and the stupid voiceovers

[fossil frost]

I want to do something similar. App that detects if I watched more then 3 yt shorts in a row, and if I do, it sends a signal to my chair, which sends a shock to the lower half of my body

[austere shale]

I have an old pavlock but I would have to manually shock myself so :/

Automatic would be nice but not feasible for what I intend to do

[fossil frost]

And if I ever decide to watch a reaction video in it's entirety, it just kills me

[austere shale]

I don’t mind watching shorts every now and then but occasionally I do find myself doom scrolling

[fossil frost]

Tbh, I would like to make a device where if someone is lazy enough to MAKE a reaction video, instead of actually being talented and making their own content, it just kills THEM

[austere shale]

I do it a lot when I’m stressed which happened to be 90% of my work day, but I have to leave work right now, get ready and go hop on a plane to Miami to work an event for 2 days, and I was given the opportunity to work it literally Sunday so 🙃

[fossil frost]

I've spent 2 days setting up a laptop that should have taken 2 hours. But... IT are making it difficult by whitelisting what apps are allowed on these company laptops now. And none of our dev tools are on the list

[harsh quartz]

Jailbreak it

[covert forge]

whats rtx remix

[harsh quartz]

8.8.8.8

[fossil frost]

That's tomorrows job. Showing them that their so called security practices are pointless when they come up against people who's job It is to solve problems and work around restrictions

[harsh quartz]

Physical access to the device is all that matters :p

[austere shale]

That’s stupid, I repair robots and my coworker walked out yesterday so I’m the only person in the country that repairs robots for our company now, but I have to go to Miami to work one of my sisters events and for 2 nights I should get $10k +/- 3k so I can’t complain, just sucks that it’s spring break weekend and flights were about $1500

[polar fern]

You know it is actually OK to chill out and be entertained at least a little bit here and there

[harsh quartz]

Who said it wasn’t?

[polar fern]

It’s thinking that you aren’t watching stuff like that and actually watching hours of it that is a problem

I callthat the thousand dollar problem

you have $1000 and you give someone five bucks and you still think you have $1000

We don’t realize that we have to keep track of things in a more detailed fashion. It’s much easier to just round up or down and then jettison it from our brain.

[fossil frost]

I didn't even need that. I made a VM and cloned the device serial number, signed into the AD, then removed the mod that cloned the serial number, which kept me on the AD, but stopped short of applying the group policy. So I had the best of both worlds on the VM. And. That VM was on non-company hardware too, something I was told is "impossible"

[polar fern]

In any case

The key is awareness and honesty. If you lie to yourself about holding yourself accountable, then you aren’t holding yourself accountable.

[fossil frost]

We have also been told that no-one of our systems are allowed to run on Linux anymore. By our CEO. Our lead architect laughed at him...

[polar fern]

Meanwhile, before you shame yourself into oblivion, just remember that all of those smol peen truck ads always have the trucks looking spotlessly clean, which is extremely unrealistic. 😎

Yes, let’s drive to some wilderness spot many hundreds of miles from the nearest town or city but the wheels, tires, and the rest of the vehicle are completely spotlessly mirror-like clean

[fossil frost]

Anyone here ever replaced the shells on the switch joycons?

[harsh quartz]

I’ve never had the joy of tearing down any Nintendo, I need to buy some junk ones and play with them

[fossil frost]

My youngest son broke the plastic shell on his left one. Bought some new shells. Just wondering how simple it is. Yt videos make it look simple enough, just wondering if anyone had any actual experience

[harsh quartz]

I’ve heard they’re not bad cause people switch out the actual joysticks so often there’s a lot of tutorials now, but nah no actual experience

[fossil frost]

I'm considering doing the hall effect sticks at the same time while I'm at it

[harsh quartz]

Might as well if your planning on keeping them operational. I’ve never done that cause I don’t use my switch enough to justify it. If I pick up a steamdeck I plan on doing that

[fossil frost]

He's on it every day. I would limit it more, but he's playing Pokémon, and it's really helping his reading 😁

Hi

[harsh quartz]

Out of all the consoles, it’s probably the best to have them on, other than maybe a DS or some other antiquated system

[ionic abyss]

so would horizon zero dawn forbidden west be what the

[harsh quartz]

?

[ionic abyss]

you 3080 might not be good enough

wtf horizon zero dawn forbiden west!!!

[harsh quartz]

Like all the other ones recently, just don’t turn on raytracing and it’s probably fine

[ionic abyss]

what kinda insaine specs did sony make for this game

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, the first horizon was not an easy game to run, neither is Returnal, or any other ps exclusive on pc

[ionic abyss]

when a 3080 gets a messag e that basicaly says your high end card might not be good enough

[lyric sphinx]

old high end card

[ionic abyss]

its only last gen

[lyric sphinx]

well there are 2 cards higher than that one

in that gen

[weak sonnet]

3080ti, 3090, 3090ti

[lyric sphinx]

you are right 3

[harsh quartz]

Saying it’s not the highest tier doesn’t mean it’s not high tier

[ionic abyss]

a 3080 should handle any game fine

[lyric sphinx]

its all relative a new 4070 super is abotu 15 percent faster

unless you are in 4k

[ionic abyss]

i am staying 1080

[harsh quartz]

Either way, a 3080 is most likely fine without RT

[ionic abyss]

till i get a 4k oled

[polar fern]

350 watts of mediocre performance

[harsh quartz]

My high school nickname

[lyric sphinx]

its cute that you think you are mediocre

[ionic abyss]

hmm im seeing folks running 4k max rt

https://media1.tenor.com/m/hA5kAybA5aMAAAAd/toothless.gif

[harsh quartz]

Honestly love the driftveil dragon meme

[ionic abyss]

so would horizon dawn forbidden west be a ok test of if a gpu was ok

[lyric sphinx]

why not use an actual stress test

like 3d mark

[polar fern]

As long as you get 90+ FPS, I’m not sure what people are looking for

[lyric sphinx]

anything less than 165 fps is pointless

[polar fern]

Erm

[ionic abyss]

so a new graphicaly demanding game isnt a good gpu test?

[polar fern]

Why would you need to “test” a modern graphics card?

[lyric sphinx]

i mean how is it a test

[polar fern]

Just play the game and enjoy it

[ionic abyss]

well the nvidia drivers decided this card didnt exsist for a day or so

[lyric sphinx]

if you use a software made for benchmarking and its lower than average

[polar fern]

run any game if it works it works if it doesn’t, it doesn’t

[harsh quartz]

Sure, my 3070 is only getting 10fps in cyberpunk but it doesn’t need to be tested, it’s technically running

[ionic abyss]

just incase

[polar fern]

Is there anything wrong with the current graphics card that you have?

[lyric sphinx]

nobody profits from your solid logic and sound reasoning

[polar fern]

Because if there isn’t, you don’t need it

as i said earlier i follow the tim the tool man taylor school of repair thought

[lyric sphinx]

they look like something developed in the 1900's

[polar fern]

The 90s was a great time unless you wanted practical industrial design

[harsh quartz]

It looks like something from the 60s that really wants to be that bubbly futuristic jetsons kind of look

[ionic abyss]

if you have issues replace the potential part with a overpowered and potential unneeded and dangerous part

Good ole Tim Allan, never seen a more “I’m going through a midlife crisis” actor in my life

YO ghiblis gonna be on Netflix

[polar fern]

Ah, the 90s sitcom … when the world was a simpler place

[ionic abyss]

more power grunt grunt!

[polar fern]

I feel bad for the younger generations, having to grow up with the world falling apart around them

[harsh quartz]

Looking at tool time vs last man standing, it’s rough

Or married with children

[ionic abyss]

married with children was and still is a good show

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, vs when you compare it to something like last man standing, it’s just sad

[polar fern]

If a show like that came on today, it would be canceled after a few episodes

Literally and figuratively

[harsh quartz]

Tbf what shows aren’t cancelled after a few episodes anymore?

[lyric sphinx]

I like to believe the world is not failing any more we are just more aware of our imminate demise

[ionic abyss]

and yet the shows were actualy better back then

[polar fern]

No, the world is definitely falling apart right now way more than it was back in the 1990s

[harsh quartz]

I mean, it’s a toss up, some is worse, some is better

[ionic abyss]

yes the world is falling apart much more now

[polar fern]

I would not argue better. I think that we just did not know any better because of our isolation from frankly reality

[lyric sphinx]

the internet makes it much more accessible to see the spiral but the spiral existed back then too

[harsh quartz]

Some is worse, some is better, ya gotta take the good with the bad, people just know a lot more about the bad than they used to

[polar fern]

Like I said, not nearly as much

[lyric sphinx]

I say we bring back the cold war it was more fun

[polar fern]

We are seeing real time the climate collapse right in front of our eyes

[harsh quartz]

Are we not literally in one atm?

[harsh quartz]

Yeah and the ozone hole is gone

[lyric sphinx]

no this is a hot pocket war

its warm on the outside

[harsh quartz]

Yum!

[ionic abyss]

i see tim the tool man was on last man standing

[polar fern]

Of course people want to think and feel that nothing is wrong and whatever their position on things is correct because frankly people want that sense of stability and rightfully so but we have to earn it

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, he got very political and anti modernism and shit though, that show was terrible and so was he

[lyric sphinx]

everyone knows the way to fix climate change is to dump a bunch of ice in the ocean to cool it down

[polar fern]

That would definitely solve it forever

[harsh quartz]

That’s why we’re breaking up the polar ice caps

[ionic abyss]

yes chef but how will we get the ice from halies comet

[lyric sphinx]

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/preventing-the-loss-of-arctic-ice-by-spraying-it-with-glass-1.5739379

[polar fern]

Ironically, enough ice melting into the ocean is exactly one of the issues because ice that is already in the water isn’t going to raise sea levels

What we need is to move the Earth slightly away from the sun a little bit

[lyric sphinx]

or we can turn the sun down a little

[polar fern]

Totally

Well, it’ll do that on its own eventually

[lyric sphinx]

the problem is all these trees keep breathing and making wind

[polar fern]

Yeah, and I can’t believe that sand and silt has the audacity to go from the land into the sea

[lyric sphinx]

at least we are brinign back the wooly mammoth

hopefully we will bring back megaladons

[polar fern]

Ironically enough, another problem that we have is erosion caused by building of large amounts of impermeable surfaces, which is actually also contributing to sea level rise and the shifting of waterways

Humans have entered the “fafo” stage of civilization

[lyric sphinx]

lets just send places like florida to mars

[polar fern]

It’s not Florida that is the problem

Florida was fine before people got there

Florida is also home to the tree that will kill you

[lyric sphinx]

its americas dong

Technically, this land is not America that is a European name

Wdym?

Hey so I was thinking you can play fortnite on android so could I use a android x86 Android ISO to play it or could I get a Linux ISO that's got android built in or something like that

For my gaming pc

[graceful burrow]

Brother what

[stoic beacon]

If you're going to do that, why not just run it on Linux? This is very odd.

[graceful burrow]

You can't run fortnite in Linux

[stoic beacon]

Not even with WINE?

[graceful burrow]

No

Tim sweeney is scared of Linux

[stoic beacon]

I see that as a win, personally

[graceful burrow]

Same ngl

[still olive]

So would a android ISO work

[graceful burrow]

Why would you just like
Not install windows

Nomatter what you do you're circumventing anti-tamper and risking your account

[stoic beacon]

You could install Windows, then install the Your Phone app, which allows you to mirror your phone screen, allowing you to play Fortnite on Android in Windows.

[still olive]

Just wondering if it would work or if I could download a Linux android iso

[stoic beacon]

What exactly is Linux Android? In your eyes

[still olive]

Because my phone is a33 and I barely get 30fps on it

[graceful burrow]

Again
Why would you not install windows on a gaming pc

[still olive]

I'm wondering if there's a Linux ISO that I can run android apps natively

[graceful burrow]

There is not.

[still olive]

Because you get aim assist and auto shoot on android

[graceful burrow]

Ah
I see
You suck and want to cheat

Sucks for you, fortnite is locked down

[still olive]

Yeah kinda

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
Fuck off, basically

[livid hornet]

What would I do that fixes a majority of ssd failure (don’t care about data)

[graceful burrow]

Buy a new ssd

There is no "one great fix"

[livid hornet]

like for example corruption

[spice pine]

for example, buy a new SSD

[livid hornet]

And also why shouldn’t I format an ssd

[livid hornet]

I have one working on my pc but also have one that doesn’t work so I’m not in need of a new ssd but it would be a nice to have

[eager notch]

Ya can't run x86 programs on ARM without a decent translation layer and as far as I know, macOS is the only operating system that has a decent x86 translation layer

[eager notch]

Why can't you format an SSD, that's not gonna put hardly any wear on an SSD

do you perhaps mean a secure erase that would basically just wear out the NAND for no reason?

This is all assuming the hardware on the SSD itself is fine, if the controller is toast, you're kinda fucked

[graceful burrow]

I never said don't format an ssd
I answered the question I saw and did not look back

All I said is there is no one great fix

[eager notch]

NVM, I guess that wasn't you,

There is a great fix for SSD failure though and that's called a backup

[muted tusk]

chat, I cannot disagree

[alpine gale]

Depends entirely on why the SSD isn't working.

• Corrupt file system (or similar)? Doing a quick format or preferably a Secure Erase usually solves that.
• Worn out NAND Flash cells or corrupt Flash Controller firmware? Purchasing a new drive usually solves that.
• SSD currently on fire? Staring at the computer whilst saying "huh, now why's it done that?" before putting the computer over there, next to the rest of the fire usually solves that.

[livid hornet]

Thanks

[leaden linden]

hey guys quick question, I have a asus tuf 3070 and i just got a gigabyte 4070 ti. should i use DDU and reinstall drivers or should i just swap and let the pc recognize the new gpu and then use geforce experience to download the necessary drivers?

[vapid smelt]

why is the kitchen in the living room

[steep girder]

Just install nvidia driver again on top

[leaden linden]

as in from geforce experience?

or like from the manufacturers site?

[craggy pecan]

DDU is only really meant for dealing with a "problem" that occured and trying to start over from "scratch"

[steep girder]

Sure if you have it already installed

DDU only if it messes up. Manufacturer site for any AIB nv card is just nvidias

[craggy pecan]

If you're super OCD you can do it though

[leaden linden]

yeah i recently learned that, thats why i was skeptical and didn't really wanna go through the hassle

ok

thanks yall!

[steep girder]

Idk its my family friend's villa id have to ask them

Hi so I watched a short and cant remember the app it was about how you can change keys on your keyboard to any thing you want. So what app is it

[alpine gale]

No idea what app was referenced in what ShortCircuit video, but PowerToys includes a Keyboard Manager utility that can remap any key to any other key. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager

[still olive]

No I meant a YouTube short should of been more clear my bad

@ashen estuary btw the only reason pc part picker says the 7900xtx is 1,400 is because its being sold by another seller for that much its not straight from amazon

[steep girder]

Thanks!

[gentle slate]

1400 what?

[pliant steppe]

$

[gentle slate]

That price sounds awful if its $. Holy shit

[pliant steppe]

When in amazons stock its only $1,099

[gentle slate]

I was eyeing an xtx for 1100

[pliant steppe]

But its being sold by someone else for $1,400

[gentle slate]

well fuck that price manually edit it

[pliant steppe]

So automatically pc part picker makes it $1,400 and echo was being rude to me about how over priced it is

[pliant steppe]

I did

Now its not that much on my list lol

But if you want a 7900xtx thats white and possibly better the taichi is $1099

I think it has a faster clock speed

in which case youll see burn in more so than a brightness dim

[graceful burrow]

That's not true at all lmao

[hot mulch]

dont IPS remain constant from start to end

[desert dagger]

I disagree, when one of the capacitors on my previous monitor popped it was significantly dimmer.

I've had cheapo monitors lose brightness over the course of a day lol

[hot mulch]

oh well ignore me

it's def not an oled but my eyes feel like they can see the pixels now 😭 i think it's bec i used good montior and went back to this one

they still have an led backlight that can degrade over time

maybe check you have the appropriate resolution configured for the monitor

for example I moved every game and video ive got onto my D and E drives and just wiped my C drive

if you dont run any file i dont think its really possible for a file to self execute unless someone has physical access to your pc

have LTT videos seen an increase in hate comments since the video where the staff reacted to them, probably by people hoping to be featured in another video?

just tell it to scan those drives for games folders and it'll add them to the lists

What in the world kind of car seats

[north hill]

Bruh

[harsh quartz]

They’re saying it might be directTV that got got, but it’s still owned by at&t

[gilded quest]

Glad I don't have either

[kindred bison]

well getting new mesh wifi today

tp-link better pull through again, pretty good deal at best buy

I am so fucking done with linksys

or as every old person on the planet I did tech support says "linksees"

[harsh quartz]

I like my tp-link router but don’t use the mesh system, our house is too small to need it

[kindred bison]

ours is just big enough to need an awkward amount of nodes

it comes in 3 packs but I'm guessing I'll need 4 nodes so I'll have to buy 6

unless they're really strong nodes

[harsh quartz]

I might eventually set up a second one to get whole house 5g coverage but the 2.4band is usually enough

[kindred bison]

I don't give a shit about speed I just want a solid connection

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, our 2.4 is stable through the whole house which is plenty for us

[kindred bison]

give me wires, good god someone send me an electrician

[harsh quartz]

Just run a 30ft Ethernet cable through the living room

[kindred bison]

if I lived alone I would

just plug right into the cable router

you want wifi you can tether your phone bitch

[jagged valve]

I wish I could run Ethernet

It would need to go all the way from the top of the house all the way to the bottom

[kindred bison]

I did that once

drilled one hole, total z-axis destruction was about 1 cubic skittle

lots of maneuvering and wrangling of wires though, would not recommend

[harsh quartz]

Once I’m able to buy a house I’m definitely gonna be dropping Ethernet runs

[kindred bison]

for sure

[harsh quartz]

Or maybe fibre even

[kindred bison]

cat 69 to every room

8 port switch in every closet

[harsh quartz]

Cat7 probably, or maybe just 6e

[kindred bison]

it'll be 69 by the time I can afford to build a house

[harsh quartz]

Ain’t no way in hell I could afford to build one, but I’m in the process of buying one

[kindred bison]

I'm going to go build a house right now

in sketchup

1 bedroom

made from granite

wait granite might be a poor choice for a climate that hits -40 and +40

seems like cracking could be an issue

[strange elk]

Windows decided to try to update and now I'm stuck bootlooping in the update

I hate this os so much

[kindred bison]

I ran a 24 hour ping to test network shit overnight

windows updated and rebooted overnight so no result thanks

[strange elk]

Well from medicat so far 3 tools aren't working and the antimalware is years out of date

Glad I got that recommendation :/

[crisp notch]

my macbook air would never

[strange elk]

Words can't express how much just passive hate I have for this os

[harsh quartz]

Don’t use it then

[harsh quartz]

No it’ll just throttle itself to uselessness:p

[strange elk]

Now if only that were the option huh

[harsh quartz]

Use macOS or Linux

[strange elk]

Macos costs like $1000 to get into (or $100 if I care to make a hackintosh anymore these days) and Linux doesn't have support for everything still.

[harsh quartz]

Sounds like a skill issue then

[strange elk]

I dont understand people who say that tbh

Like what's the point lmao

[tired glade]

Isn't old M1 macs below 1000 already?

[strange elk]

Maybe but I dont have aforementioned $100 to spend either so not like it matters to me

[tired glade]

Yea, they are below 500 already

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but probably only the ones with like 8gb of ram and 256gb of storage

[tired glade]

It's not windows, you know

[harsh quartz]

“8gb is 16”?

[strange elk]

8gb in 2024 is 8gb in 2024

[tired glade]

There are 16 GB for 500

[strange elk]

256gb non replaceable storage is pretty fucking sad

[harsh quartz]

8gb is 8gb. Sure macOS might not use as much as windows but you can’t say that photoshop wont chug ram, or any other software

[tired glade]

It's MacBook air, you not getting it for heavy duty

[harsh quartz]

That’s a whole different argument

[strange elk]

Why am I getting a macbook air anyway. They CERTAINLY don't support at LEAST 60% of the programs I use

[tired glade]

Is Apple dumping refurbished Mac on market, most of listing under that title?

[harsh quartz]

Skill gap

[tired glade]

If statistics correct, most laptops is just for content consumption, not creating

[strange elk]

Macbooks are made for creators lmao what

Who the fuck buys a $1000 laptop for watching videos

[tired glade]

Way too many people

[strange elk]

I game and use a lot of FOSS programs as my normal toolset

[tired glade]

Writers are a big chunk of Mac users

[strange elk]

And yeah.. not much competition anyway

[dreamy thorn]

Wym, those are normal seats

[harsh quartz]

X to doubt

[dreamy thorn]

Have you never seen a car?

[strange elk]

What makes them weird? The

[tired glade]

Oh, those looks like bus seats

[harsh quartz]

That was my thought too

[dreamy thorn]

They are the most ordinary seats in the history of seats

[harsh quartz]

What kind of car is it? Also the front is fine the back is weird imo cause it’s split seats

[tired glade]

Yep,bus seats 100%

[dreamy thorn]

It's a Citroen C2

The saxo used very similar seats

[harsh quartz]

Oh, European, that’s why it’s scuffed

[tired glade]

That's pretty old care

[dreamy thorn]

It's only 20 years old

My daily driver is 24 years older, until it gets banned

[tired glade]

Most likely when this seats were made,those weren't adapted as bus seats yet

[dreamy thorn]

Pretty sure Citroen doesn't make buses

[tired glade]

Maybe some corporation

[dreamy thorn]

These are definitely car seats, bus seats are very different

[strange elk]

Until it gets banned?

[dreamy thorn]

Although yeah they don't hug you enough

[harsh quartz]

They’re old European car seats is why they strange

[dreamy thorn]

They are banning old cars in waves

[strange elk]

wtf

[dreamy thorn]

Where I live

[tired glade]

Petroleum cars getting cut from seller in 2035 in EU

[strange elk]

Because of moving to

[harsh quartz]

Also what struck me as very weird was that the back 2 seats are separate, not one big seat

[strange elk]

ok

[dreamy thorn]

No, existing ones, not new production

Well those too

[tired glade]

Cetroen is part if PSA group, there are bus makers in there

[tired glade]

EU law makers forcing to make ev cars cheaper then petroleum cars by 2030

Get ready for more gas taxes

[dreamy thorn]

Well it's not like a literal ban, that wouldnt be legal, it's more like banning them from 90% of the territory for 80% of the days

But it's as good as an actual ban

[tired glade]

There is already ban for petroleum cars in some cities

It getting there

[dreamy thorn]

Yep unfortunately

[tired glade]

Green street will be mandatory soon in every city

[dreamy thorn]

Well it would be fine if you like banned all Cara from the center of the city

[harsh quartz]

Average European L

[strange elk]

So if their power prices dont go down within the next 10 years, struggles are gonna be present

[tired glade]

That's big W

[dreamy thorn]

The problem is the bans here include the city + surrounding towns

[harsh quartz]

Introducing these measures on an arbitrary timescale with no infrastructure changes will not be a W in the long term

[dreamy thorn]

That's not the problem, the problem is also doing it by year and not by real emissions figures

Which are checked once a year, the only option for people who need it is to buy a newer car

[strange elk]

Guess if I AM moving to the EU I GOTTA get a delorean fitted with electric

[dreamy thorn]

No that wouldn't be legal

[strange elk]

[dreamy thorn]

EV conversions are de facto banned unless you are stupidly rich

[tired glade]

You are talking about region of the world where trains faster then planes and public transport cheaper and faster then private cars

[strange elk]

Thats actually disgusting

[dreamy thorn]

Not true

The bans affect all towns bigger than 20k people, which are usually not well communicated

[strange elk]

Ill just make my own town with blackjack and hookers

[dreamy thorn]

At least in Catalonia

[tired glade]

Oh,Spain

[harsh quartz]

And yet. Clearly people still choose to drive cars so much that it’s an issue. It’s also a region where fuel prices are high because they don’t have the needed access to that material. The same region that is also cutting back nuclear power for arbitrary bullshit and trying to transition to renewables while using non renewable as a holdover, which they don’t have a lot of

[dreamy thorn]

It's funny because my Mr2 is basically euro 6 spec in terms of emissions harmful to human health because it was overbuilt for California's ultra low emissions regulations

[tired glade]

In fairness, nuclear reactors count starting to grow

[strange elk]

Bottom line, Y'all need nukes

[dreamy thorn]

But it doesn't count because it's older

[harsh quartz]

Creating an even higher demand on the power grid while lowering the amount of power available is a bad idea

[tired glade]

EU switching to hydrogen

[harsh quartz]

In some, in others they’re being reduced

[dreamy thorn]

The plan is not to get people to buy EVs though, it's to get people to buy new cars in general

[strange elk]

Then why EVs

[tired glade]

Welcome to thing called EU power grid

[harsh quartz]

Which solves nothing

[dreamy thorn]

If I was stupidly rich I could get my engine removed, install a newer more polluting one in and get a sticker that says I'm an eco vehicle

That's how dumb it is

[tired glade]

It's not that expensive

[dreamy thorn]

Even though it's already an eco vehicle

[tired glade]

Just battery based EV will be way way heavier

[dreamy thorn]

Yes it is, a few thousand at least + 1k to legakzie it

No I mean another ICE

[tired glade]

Oh that

[strange elk]

So EV conversions arent allowed but engine swaps will make you compliant?

[dreamy thorn]

EV conversions are allowed but you need lots of money to do them

[upbeat ermine]

eu lawmakers on smth

[dreamy thorn]

For paperwork

[strange elk]

Always about paperwork with them it seems.

[tired glade]

Also EU doesn't drive tracks like US

[dreamy thorn]

Major work is like 1k for paperwork, and you aren't allowed to do the conversion yourself because a mechanic has to certify it, and then an engineer too

[upbeat ermine]

its about the one thing... i forget what its called

[dreamy thorn]

Back in the day the only place where they could certify it all for you was in Spanish NASA equivalent

[upbeat ermine]

oh yeah Money

[strange elk]

How do they certify it if you dont do the conversion kekw

[dreamy thorn]

You have to pay someone else to do it

Unless you are a mechanic yourself

Then an engineer comes in to verify that it's been installed properly either way, which is dumb AF

Like if you are gonna have an engineer check it anyways why don't you just... Let me do it myself?

Or if you are stupid rich you can get prototype plates and then you dont have to follow regulations at all except noise

[strange elk]

Man I like what they are doing with company regulation, but this EV bs that they are doing is just..

[harsh quartz]

We all need ford pintos

[tired glade]

Who?

[dreamy thorn]

The fact the EU is good at tech regulation is an exception, not the norm

[upbeat ermine]

wait do they let you put excessive amounts of subwoofers in your car

[strange elk]

hmm..

[dreamy thorn]

They are usually trash at lawmaking

[dreamy thorn]

Depending on how much it affects the car no

But usually yes

[tired glade]

If you do your paper work and not drive in to city

[strange elk]

So I move to the EU, I dont get weed OR a delorean. Man theres no point now

[upbeat ermine]

Xd

[dreamy thorn]

In spajn weed is legal tho

[upbeat ermine]

or music thats way too loud

[strange elk]

I wear headphones anyway

[dreamy thorn]

We once had a Mercedes with such sound power that it bounced off a valley of the industrial àrea we were in and ended up in the next city

[tired glade]

If you fine to pay everytime police getting call on you, you can do it

[dreamy thorn]

They can take it away from you in that case

[strange elk]

I wouldnt be in spain though, Id be in Europe. Already a few people there I know, and seems most ideal

[dreamy thorn]

Spain is in Europe

[strange elk]

Sorry Germany

[dreamy thorn]

Ah

[strange elk]

Im a little dumb

[dreamy thorn]

Germany is also a bit dumb but tbh all countries have their quirks and stupidity

[strange elk]

The US is... hard to tolerate.

[dreamy thorn]

The issue with Germany is that people follow the law like gospel

[strange elk]

I do notice this, yeah

[dreamy thorn]

Not as extreme as Australia but pretty bad

[harsh quartz]

“You cannot drive without a license”

[dreamy thorn]

I got the reference

[tired glade]

Don't mistake Europe and EU

[dreamy thorn]

I have a theory that for social progress law having leeway is necessary

If people can't break the rules a bit there's no point

[tired glade]

Young anarchist is something

[dreamy thorn]

People who own my car can get another toyota engine that just bolts right in, if you put the original plastic cover on it the guys at inspection and the police never notice

[dreamy thorn]

Nah, I said leeway, not a complete lack of laws

[strange elk]

There always need to be liberties, including laws that give people more liberty to own their devices and data.

[dreamy thorn]

If every single crime was perfectly caught we would have never got legalized marijuana or gay marriage

[tired glade]

Engine number marked on top or side of engine itself,that number police checking

[dreamy thorn]

Not usually no

[strange elk]

USB C being mandatory is NICE but in the future we may want another standard, I do agree though

[tired glade]

That's criminal negligence

[dreamy thorn]

No it's not, engines don't have the same code as the rest of the car

[tired glade]

It what?

[dreamy thorn]

Well it depends, anyways it's basically the same engine

It's not something they usually check

[tired glade]

Someone spawning parts without registration

[strange elk]

I need to make this damn recovery drive.

[dreamy thorn]

If you had something more outrageous like a V6 or a V8 swapped into a car that originally had a 4 cylinder they'd probably notice

Inspection stations usually check for dangerous things like rust or suspension play, unless the inspector feels like fucking you over

[strange elk]

Also is there a way to get windows 11s bootloader? I mean I might just use Grub anyway but for some reason I have a legacy one like 7 would have

[dreamy thorn]

Even if you use grub you still boot using the windows boot manager tho

[strange elk]

If I even keep windows on this machine at all

[dreamy thorn]

I make my two games exclusively on cringenux

It's nice

[nova ingot]

Get an AE86 with a ruined transmission but intact body and get a EV skateboard and make it full EV

[strange elk]

Idk what my plans are, still trying to figure what I want to do but I want to start migrating to Linux again. Think Ill pull a Mutahar and run my Windows machine in the other corner

Want to reduce the amount of kernel level programs on my pc Battleye, EAC, Punkbuster...

nprotect can go on its own device

[dreamy thorn]

An ae86 Costs more than my old car, my current car and my mom's car combined

[strange elk]

Would these be the same? Or do I need to get the recovery.wim another way?

[harsh quartz]

Tbf your driving a Citroen

[dreamy thorn]

That's my mom's car

[dreamy thorn]

My car is too impractical to use for family travels lol

[nova ingot]

Not quite but I’m jealous

[dreamy thorn]

Frog

[nova ingot]

Too many guys in the90’s and 2000’s read the manga/anime and wrapped these things around trees

[dreamy thorn]

They were already expensive before initial d

Many competition ae86s were converted 85s

[sharp girder]

Hello how are you

[nova ingot]

I just want one to baby. Something about the lighter weight cars of that era

Sure as hell wouldn’t want to get into a crash with one though

[strange elk]

I just love the design of the car, I dont really even care too much about the anime, not that I wont watch it

[sharp girder]

I need some help whit connecting to my pc from my macbook

[dreamy thorn]

You want light? Look into the Citroen ax GT

Can get 100hp out of it at <640 kg

The ae86 is actually a terrible car to drive stock

[nova ingot]

I have horrible reflexes and a bad driver

I just want something that I like to look at

Meanwhile my neighbor went all in on Tesla and took delivery in a cybertruck the other day

[lyric sphinx]

how many cups you guys got on your desk on a friday

[tired glade]

Zero

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t change anything

[harsh quartz]

Took my office trash out test day so only one bottle today 🙂

[crisp notch]

kar

[harsh quartz]

No it ain’t

[crisp notch]

it is a motor vehicle

[harsh quartz]

Sadge

[crisp notch]

4 wheels, engine, headlights. kar

[crisp notch]

where i live you can drive that whenever

its for people who don't have licenses but idk about other places

[harsh quartz]

“You cannot drive without a license”

[crisp notch]

watch me someone said

[crisp notch]

nah but it is legal

for me atleast

you can be 7 and drive one

[young root]

ill stick to trucks

[harsh quartz]

Why, are you magnetic?

[young root]

yes

its EXTREMELY inconvenient

[harsh quartz]

If you can get good at running and make a copper tube you can provide your own electricity

[young root]

the baddassery of the truck increases how magnetic i am... be walking and a mf cummins make me fly

[harsh quartz]

And a mf is doing what now?

[young root]

😳

[strange elk]

Also zero. I DO have another container with water though.

[lyric sphinx]

[ionic abyss]

[ionic abyss]

it varries from drive to drive

im about to pick up a second 14tb for $98

[full fossil]

i really want to put my spare lenovo motherboard to use

[ionic abyss]

5 year warranty for the drive

for most folks 1 14tb drive would hold more than they store i guess right

[full fossil]

can i arrange 3 drives on a b660 sata controllers so the 2 can work in pair for more storage and the spare one can work as a backup

oh wait

no
its a lenovo bios

no seriosly look what i found

[harsh quartz]

Yeah that’s how modern games work my man

[dreamy thorn]

Technically a cycle

[crisp notch]

[kindred bison]

[ionic abyss]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/155737954389?

my bad $230

after taxes

not advertising just sharing a listing

why are new gpus so expensive

i could build a decent entry level pc for the cost of a higher end gpu

[pseudo jetty]

[ionic abyss]

cant say im wrong

for the price of a 4090 you can get a verry good gaming pc

[silver sun]

[crystal lodge]

hello

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[vapid smelt]

Sup nerd

[ionic abyss]

i say gpus need to be cheaper

[graceful burrow]

Well that's not happening anytime soon lmao

[ionic abyss]

i know there are only 3 players in the game now

bad for customers to have such a small market

[vapid smelt]

They are $150ish used

[ionic abyss]

so its a kidney for new or $150 for pray it still works

[vapid smelt]

eBay has buyer protection

[graceful burrow]

there's 4

[ionic abyss]

whos number 4?

amd intel nvidia 3

[graceful burrow]

Moore Threads

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/D9ytt6/asrock-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-challenger-d-video-card-rx6600-cld-8g $190 new

[proven sinew]

yeah i only found it for about 200 dollars new

[ionic abyss]

i knew of one company trying to enter the market but they are stalled at aquiring a x86 instruction liscense from intel

last i heard they are considering selling fab time on the fab they had completed and giving up on cpu/gpu market

but they are limited to a 7nm fab process at present

i guess not every company can actualy enter the market

not sure if intel is unwilling to sell a liscense to them or what

they completed the fab faclity in 2023 but exact date i dont know

i can only watch and see what happems

chat is quiet today

*pokes chat with a sharpened baggette

[proven sinew]

yeouch!!

[onyx timber]

Overcocking???

[nova ingot]

Duopoly, market conditions, supply/demand curve, and R&D

It isn’t pascal era anymore

High start up costs and licensing is through the roof.

[ionic abyss]

the liscenses is all the company needs

they are at the stage were they can start production with in 1 month of aquiring the liscenses

i find it kinda funny a company can stall at that stage due only to liscinses from intel and amd

[muted tusk]

GPUs should be more expensive so gamers have to actually get a job

[ionic abyss]

the company can only do in house r&d on the processors they have for in house use so they are stucck

they basicaly have a processor ready to roll at this time but cant produce it

they have a fully functional 7nm fab also

the liscensing talks have been off and on for 4-5 years at this time

they had hoped to get production started late last year

but as i said i hear intel is the main issue in aquiring a x86 liscense

@nova ingot imagine having a fully functional 7nm fab facility ready to start production and being unable to negotiate a x86 liscense from intel

they are considering renting production time on their fab just to recoupe losses right now

[graceful burrow]

is that fucking fungus

in the coke bottle

i thought it was q-tips but they're way too long and bendy

[quartz ivy]

Wouldn't be surprised

[harsh quartz]

Looks like zip ties

[graceful burrow]

could be

that's a much nicer thought than fungus lmao

[harsh quartz]

After zooming in, it’s definitely white zip ties

[harsh quartz]

This is not a mistake. It truly is useless now.

[ionic abyss]

i guess intel is basicaly telling them no you cant enter the x86 market

[graceful burrow]

they are more concerned with intel

[kindred bison]

[ionic abyss]
