The mid 2000s are coming back to haunt us

[harsh quartz]

Haunt us??? This is a duckin blessing my guy

Would you rather duck song and Charlie the unicorn or that toilet shit from last year?

[nova ingot]

8 bit tunes rock. Just something about a rendition of a current song being reduced to 8 bit is so nostalgic

True, I think mid 2000s to early 2010s were peak media

Don’t forget to wash your desk pads occasionally!

[nova ingot]

It was literally when the medium was still expanding vs how it all feels like a commodity now

It was about that time that broadband media on mobile started peaking imho

[vale garnet]

idk man

[craggy rose]

I was listening to some lo-fi songs and there was this very Specific moment in the soundtrack that played a microwave beep followed by some other house noises

[merry gull]

y'all my fb account was taken over, i still have access to it but there a re a bunch of random ass pages I'm a part of, how do I leave them? I'm tired of notifications and I only use FB for oculus

[craggy rose]

And I found that it was very relaxing but couldn't find any other songs that had that characteristic

And an epiphany of some sort occur to me, that's how we started to make music

[craggy rose]

Just disable the account

And notify Facebook support

[merry gull]

I still need it and support doesn't help one bit

[craggy rose]

Well

Have you changed passwords

Applied 2 factor authentication

[merry gull]

I have, I just need to leave these pages

[craggy rose]

Oh

[merry gull]

I apparently manage them

[craggy rose]

That's kinda weird

I suppose, delete them?

[merry gull]

can't

[severe rampart]

hi

[craggy rose]

I mean, I might have misunderstood you

[tired glade]

Does Facebook deleted account or they just deactivated them like Instagram?

[harsh quartz]

Ya know I had something similar, I was listening to a 10 hour loop of the portal radio music and had a similar moment

[vale garnet]

omg, yeah

[tacit ruin]

anyone seen talk to me

[craggy rose]

Lol, well that's the beauty of humanity, common thoughts shared

[harsh quartz]

[craggy rose]

I mean, how do I listen more to something that I like but don't have access to

Why not make it myself e

But while installing it says that "the disk is locked"

Help anyone?

[coral pulsar]

Agreed.

Haha white funny lines on screen go BRRRRR (my eyes hurt)

[vale garnet]

why use hackintosh when you can daily drive windows 98?

lol

[vale garnet]

i feel the need to build a cyberdeck

[coral pulsar]

Turns out i just didn't partition the drive🤦‍♂️

OH MY GOOOOO

in the name of dusty servers and clogged fans may this MACOS Installation work

Forgot what it was like to not use 12 gigs of memory on idle

[craggy rose]

It's just huge

[harsh quartz]

I think it’s the height to length ratio

[craggy rose]

Could be

Unusual

That's the intention at least

[harsh quartz]

Idk. In photos it’s bad but not THAT bad, in person it’s just horrid tho

[craggy rose]

Bruah

[versed kraken]

Heeey, Java!

[fossil frost]

its nothing to do with ratios, or unusualness. its just a shit design.. and by shit.. i mean, it looks like it was designed by a 7 year old, in crayon

[versed kraken]

I have to take a course on you for unversity 🥴

[craggy rose]

AI generated greating 🐥

[craggy rose]

Why?

[versed kraken]

I really really don't want to

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but again, I mean specifically there is something about it that makes it look different in person vs in photo

[versed kraken]

Because education! 🎉

[craggy rose]

Lol

[harsh quartz]

Get a refund

[craggy rose]

Just code with python and translate it to java

Big W

[versed kraken]

Never mind that pOOP is largely irrelevant and I already know multiple languages 😄

[versed kraken]

Eeeeuughh. I dislike Python, too.

[fossil frost]

knowing languages, and knowing how to write code, is irrelevant.. writing code isnt "being a developer"

[versed kraken]

I know that. I just really don't want to have to deal with Java.

[craggy rose]

Oh

[versed kraken]

No offense, @craggy rose

[harsh quartz]

Being a developer is a lifestyle. Primarily made of poor decisions

[craggy rose]

You are an assembly god?

[versed kraken]

If I'm honest, a Rust-to-Java transpiler would be what I really want.

[craggy rose]

Roller coaster tycoon programmer

[fossil frost]

because you are told to do so... wait until you get a job doing it, you will have to implement things you dont like, in ways you dont like, for people you dont like... and sometimes, you have no choice in the matter, and have to just deal with it

[harsh quartz]

Chat gpt

[versed kraken]

lol no

[craggy rose]

I got a grudge with chat gpt

It's just so limited in a world where bing and Gemini can search the web

[harsh quartz]

Chatgpt is the future old man

[craggy rose]

Surely it is

Way more consistent

[versed kraken]

For reference, I learned Rust and fell in love. My current system is NixOS ("The Purely Functional Operating System") and I've been prototyping an idea for a Haskell-based calculator (like TI or HP).

It'll even have a Dvorak keyboard to duck SAT/ACT regulations

[fossil frost]

chatgpt is a LLM, and LLM's are a tool of the future, a tool that potentially replaces full text search

[harsh quartz]

Gimme a ChatGPT powered bidet

[fossil frost]

all of that is irrelevant bullshit 🙂

[versed kraken]

I don't care. It's fun.

[fossil frost]

being a programmer, being a real developer... is being able to solve problems, being able to figure things out, being able to work out how to take input X and convert it into output B...

[harsh quartz]

X=B

[versed kraken]

I legitimately enjoy working on computers. I do this for the joy of it. Not to please some clueless pointy-haired boss.

[fossil frost]

knowing lots of languages doesnt matter.. knowing how to write a useless operating system, doesnt matter, writing yet another calculator.. doesnt matter... yes, they are all useful to learn, and help you get to that learning how to learn... but... in themselves, are absolutely pointless

[versed kraken]

So what does then?

[fossil frost]

then you are gonna spend many years really struggling as a junior developer, since you will never get promoted, since you wont know how to "play the game"

[versed kraken]

Explain

[harsh quartz]

You’re contradicting yourself. It’s not pointless if it’s helping them learn

[fossil frost]

soft skills > technical skills in the business world... even as a programmer/developer... learn how to play the politics of business... effectively, learn how to make people think that your idea, is their own idea...

[versed kraken]

Doesn't matter if I'm my own boss 🗿

[craggy rose]

Big w

[fossil frost]

learning 15 language for the sake of learning, is pointless.. learning 2-3, so you know the differences between them, to help you learn more about "how stuff in general works", is useful

[harsh quartz]

Big hoss

[versed kraken]

Says Java 👀

[fossil frost]

and if you plan on employing people, you will get to a point where you do no programming at all, and soft skills, such as managing people, will be ALL you need

[versed kraken]

Or I could just hire someone to do the soft skills for me 🤔

It's called capitalism

You might not have that in Canada

[fossil frost]

ive been a professional developer for 22 years, worked for companies of 2-3 people, and worked for companies of 5000+ people...

but yea, you as a child, know much more than i do... so feel free to ignore everything i have said

[craggy rose]

Just let us have fun

🐿️

[versed kraken]

So you're a cog in a machine. And there's nothing wrong with that.

But it doesn't make you an expert in life, either.

[versed kraken]

Ah, yes. The good ol' "Source: trust me bro"

[fossil frost]

as i said, feel free to think what you want

[versed kraken]

Lowkey the most passive-aggressive thing I've heard anyone say today

And I regularly come into contact with hardcore southerners

[fossil frost]

you clearly dont want help, and dont think you need it, my 12 year old is the same 🙂

[manic torrent]

Protip, you are always a cog in a machine. It doesn't matter what you're doing.

[versed kraken]

you clearly dont want to help, and dont think you cant give it, my junior year teacher in high school was the same 🙂

[modest sierra]

yo if i run linux on a drive that is partitioned into two halves of storage, other half just storing games on my windows side, is it gonna slow down my linux os?

[versed kraken]

Sure

[manic torrent]

No.

[fossil frost]

no

[modest sierra]

cool

[versed kraken]

If it's NTFS it'll be slow. Luckily, Linux doesn't give a flying rip.

[manic torrent]

Lol what the hell are you talking about

[versed kraken]

NTFS is slow

This is a well-documented phenomenon

[fossil frost]

you are comparing two things that are incomparible, Linux isnt a file system.. its a kernel. NTFS is a file system,

[versed kraken]

It generally won't slow down Linux because most distributions by default use Ext4

[versed kraken]

Gotta let me finish bro

[manic torrent]

..... What?

[muted tusk]

even I am confused

[manic torrent]

This has nothing to do with the question.

[versed kraken]

Sure, there are distributions that use Btrfs or XFS or (incomprehnsibly) ZFS, but I don't think any use NTFS.

Anyway, why would you do that to yourself?

[manic torrent]

You're trying to flex your irrelevant knowledge that NTFS is "slow"

[versed kraken]

Did I actually just misread the question?

[versed kraken]

...yes, I did

[craggy rose]

Windows is the best, roast me

🤠

[versed kraken]

At any rate. NTFS is garbage. But Linux doesn't mount random untrusted volumes by default (unlike W*ndows lmao), so there's no way an extra partition on your drive can slow down your Linux system.

Unless you have automount set up, which you probably shouldn'tq

[versed kraken]

Of course Java would say that

[fossil frost]

tbh, disliking windows is like being an emo kid... it shows a deep misunderstanding of what it is to be an outsider... basically saying "im going to be an outsider by following the OTHER mainstream trend"... people who say "i hate windows", are the same sheep, in a different field

[craggy rose]

Lol

I knew it

[fossil frost]

nobody cares, nobody asked

[craggy rose]

🐿️

[crystal flare]

anybody a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh?

[versed kraken]

He literally did. If I'm going to answer, I'm going to justify that answer.

[versed kraken]

4% is not as mainstream as you'd like to think

[fossil frost]

they asked, if 2 different operating systems, installed in 2 completely different partitions, could cause each other to slow down... the answer is no.. not at all

[versed kraken]

0.1% is definitely not mainstream

[fossil frost]

4% recorded desktop usage... but.. in general, around 50% of all computers

if you count android, which IS linux... comes closer to 80% of all computers/devices

[versed kraken]

There's always one...

It's maaaah birthday!

[crystal flare]

4% ain't shit.

[fossil frost]

more people need to realise that computers are a tool, and an operating system, and the software within that operating system, is a tool... and you should use whatever tool is best for the job.. rather than blindly blocking yourself off from using a particular tool just because you think it makes you popular...

[crystal flare]

believe me i'd love to see linux go mainstream, but there's too much marketspace taken by windows.

[fossil frost]

linux is mainstream... what you are thinking about is the linux desktop

[manic torrent]

I can walk into heaps of shops and buy a Linux laptop off the floor right now

[fossil frost]

linux based operating systems in the server space, couldnt be more mainstream

[crystal flare]

arch linux, mint, ubuntu, elementary, all being marketed like windows and gaming pc's.

[muted tusk]

not everyone has a Micro Center

[manic torrent]

No I mean any major retailer.

[muted tusk]

you can walk into Staples, Walmart, and just get a Linux machine right there?
not needing to install it

huh

[manic torrent]

Yep

[crystal flare]

WHERE?

[fossil frost]

windows is marketed, because its backed by a huge company, with a marketing budget... Arch is a small group of individuals, not backed by a major company with a fuck ton of money... same for almost all linux based os's... about 3 of them have a major company with big money behind them.. .and all 3 of those are almost excusively server based, because that is where they earn their money

[manic torrent]

Chromebook.

[crystal flare]

it's linux based, but not full on linux.

[fossil frost]

no, its literally a linux OS with chromium installed, and everything runs inside the browser

"linux based" is full linux...

[manic torrent]

I don't think you know what Linux means

[sweet osprey]

Any of yall know if "dumb" tvs are more expepensive than smart tvs? Or if they even sell "dumb" tvs anymore?

[crystal flare]

your right i don't because it's a niche community.

[manic torrent]

Yes they are, and as a rule, no they don't.

[sweet osprey]

As a rule?

[manic torrent]

Not at retailers etc. a "dumb" TV is generally sold as a commercial display device.

[fossil frost]

in general, no, they dont exist anymore.. so buy the TV that is most suitable for what you want.. but expect that at any point, any service on it could be yanked.. so use a separate device to be your real "smart" device

[sweet osprey]

I have a fire tv stick thing already, heard that them smart tvs are slow as fuck

[fossil frost]

fire tv sticks are designed to be the most basic minimum specs.. if you think a smart tv is slow... then you are in for some pain with a fire stick 🙂

[manic torrent]

Nah bottom end smart TVs are glacial to the point of barely functional

Also some other TVs too. It is basically a random shit fight, but TV processing is generally underspecced.

[crystal flare]

i do personally believe that's stupid and unnecessary not everything needs to have multimedia connectivity.

let tv's be tv's

[manic torrent]

.... How do you think people consume TV content in 2024 my dude.

[crystal flare]

cable box?

[fossil frost]

all tv manufacturers went down the route of convenience, and they get paid by netflix to ship with netflix, and a netflix button on the remote, and to give netflix priority within the tv's OS

my super cheapo bedroom tv, auto-launches netflix when it turns on, i have no way to stop it from doing that.. i have to close it every time, to watch anything else

[manic torrent]

Protip: your local experience doesn't scale to the world.

[fossil frost]

internet based app tv media consumption has overtaken cable tv and terrestrial tv towards the end of last year

[manic torrent]

The marginal cost of making your TV "smart" vs the lost sales does not make sense.

[fossil frost]

and the subsidy from the companies that WANT you to make your TV have their app embedded in it too

amazon and netflix pay a decent amount to manufacturers, so that they are first in the list

anyway, its nearly 1am, and i need to take the kids to their football match for 8am.. 😒

[muted tusk]

I knew it

eMMC expensive shits

[manic torrent]

There are many types of Chromebook

But.... Nonetheless they run linux

[muted tusk]

no way premium Chromebook is worth it

[manic torrent]

That is a different discussion entirely

The point is that you can buy a Linux laptop right now at major retailers, and realistically that is the only way it can ever be that mainstream

Because someone has to do all the UX, support, etc, etc.

[sweet osprey]

Is it possible to turn an old laptop to some tv interface?
My mum aint that great with computers

[manic torrent]

... Just get her a smart TV and move on with your life.

[muted tusk]

the guy did say gaming rig
but you're about to say "cloud gaming" which is completely ironic to Linux being used for gaming
so conversation is just pointing out the obvious

[manic torrent]

Where was gaming mentioned? I was merely addressing the "linux mainstream availability" thing

[muted tusk]

"I can't do X"
"well you can do Y"
"but thats not X"
"Y is what you're supposed to do"

[manic torrent]

#public-chat message

Please, if you're going to pick nits, be accurate, and include citations

[long briar]

This was the entire context

[manic torrent]

You can also buy Linux gaming easily. I'm not sure what retailers sell steam decks, but... Yeah

[long briar]

Linux is very much mainstream

[manic torrent]

He also in another comment said "windows and gaming PCs" but it certainly wasn't the focus

[long briar]

and in grade school (kindergarten to grade 12) Chromebooks have by far the highest market share right now

[manic torrent]

I also specifically said laptop

[long briar]

Gaming chromebooks do exist... and work for android games

I've seen kids play roblox on them

[manic torrent]

Yeah I'm not sold on them yet 🙂

[long briar]

Which also points out how useless descriptors like "gaming" or "studio" is

[sweet osprey]

Lmao
"Lemme run candy crush at 120 fps!"

[long briar]

ngl that'd be fire

I want to see my sparkles in highest fidelity

[sweet osprey]

Tbh even roblox is fps locked at 60 fps 💀

Cod aint that demaning to run
Kids dont play pubg
Fortnite def aint a AAA game

[long briar]

oh as for the TV thing... a roku express 4k is like 20 bucks... is it worth saving 20 bucks to buy a non-smart tv?

realistically it's actually even cheaper for the tv manufacturer

[long briar]

Genshin is a mobile AAA game ish though

actually yea I still don't know if Genshin counts as AAA

it has the budget and production of one

[manic torrent]

You can't buy a non smart TV.

[long briar]

you actually can

but it's harder to buy a non smart than smart

for example: this piece of garbage

[manic torrent]

Lol 720

[sweet osprey]

💀 unless its some sweaty 12 Yr old i dont think many students are gonna be playing genshin

[long briar]

It's an asian thing

or it seems like it

especially iPad kids just playing genshin

[sweet osprey]

Ipad kids play roblox, seen it first hand working at a buffet for 3 years

So fucking loud too, all of em playing royale high

Anyways, my mum rn has a 24 inch display with a firestick connected to it, do tvs increase in size inch by inch or is there like standard inch sizes im not aware of

[long briar]

don't know what is but I'll assume it's obnoxious

[long briar]

it's sort of standard

it's based on the motherglass generation where those are sorta standardized

so you maximize the number of usable panels for each piece of motherglass

[fierce moth]

yea i used to play roblox back when i was 10-14ish

[fierce moth]

and jesus, that was 4 to 8 years ago

being an adult sucks ass

[long briar]

each "generation" of motherglass is a different size (higher is larger iirc) and this makes different sized tvs

that's why 55" a few years ago was so cheap and now 65" is also almost just a cheap

[sweet osprey]

💀 wtf
Ive never seen a tv with glass since CRT days

[long briar]

the glass is for the lcd

Or OLED actually same thing

But LCDs also have a layer of plastic called the polarizer

over the front*

right under is glass

[fierce moth]

Crt's are still great ngl

I have one for my retro consoles

[long briar]

no they aren't

big heavy and expensive

[fierce moth]

skill issue in terms of weight

price is a different story

i got mine for free lmao

[sweet osprey]

Im not putting a 30 inch crt on my room just to watch netflix

[fierce moth]

no no

not for netflix

idealy for retro consoles, or the mister fpga project

[sweet osprey]

I will never understand why yall wanna go back to those days but good for you

[wispy marsh]

Where father glass

[wispy marsh]

Hello max2

[manic torrent]

To get the same (better - but still, not compromised) experience as crt playing retro games is expensive.

[harsh quartz]

Ngl, I understand the appeal for like an n64, but I’m more likely to run an emulator rather than get a crt

Also no room to keep an extra crt just laying around

[cedar wasp]

🍞

[long mango]

[still olive]

Hi so I want to play some old N64 games on my PC what's the best N64 emulator. Or should I just use retro Arch for emulator. Please include instructions

[verbal relic]

is dolphin good

[still olive]

File manager?

[warm elk]

I use RetroArch though I haven't done emulation in a little while

[still olive]

Did you download it off steam or from your browser

[warm elk]

Browser

[still olive]

Ok

[regal atlas]

[still olive]

What are some good flying/racing games ideally free

[regal atlas]

You're gonna have to pay for a good one.

I personally would get Asseto Corsa. It's $20 (I think) + you can add plenty of mods for free.

[still olive]

Depends is it offline

[regal atlas]

Yes

Acutally

No theres online servers, but they're usually all mods

[still olive]

Hmm wait is it on steam if so I think I have credit for that

[regal atlas]

yes its on steam

Id run an emulator but on a CRT

That kinda thing is cool to me

Play my PS2 games like I used to (or without extra steps if I dont use my own console)

[plush sluice]

Yo isn’t there a new cod mobile game or something

What’s it called idk if it’s new though

[alpine gale]

I believe Call of Duty: Warzone Microtransaction Simulator Mobile was recently released, but I only play PokemonGo as a means of passing time whilst walking, so maybe I'm out of the loop.

[manic torrent]

Oh the microtransactions aren't simulated!

[low rain]

My parents have such diff reactions to getting a ticket, like my mom js laughs about it and my dad gets kinda mad like a couple months ago my brother went 30 in a school zone and got a ticket and my dad was mad about it but my mom js kinda laughed at it and the same thing happened again, my mom also went 30 in a 20 this time and she also js kinda laughed about it

[restive lion]

30 in a school zone and got a ticket?

oh wait you're using freedom units arent you

[plush sluice]

Oh alr

[plush sluice]

And you use non-freedom units?

[restive lion]

me and most of the world

[velvet marsh]

My mom has spent like $500 on pokemon go, all earned through google opinion rewards lol

[thin fjord]

it's a shame that most of the world still isn't free.

[kind zenith]

hi

[velvet marsh]

Might be more honestly, she has unlocked all the slots

[alpine gale]

Hawt damn. That's a LOT of Google Rewards. Tis also how I spend money on the game too. The only time I've spent real money on it was when they had a bonus coins + discount through the web store, and even then, any coins I get in game are used only to increase bag / Pokemon storage.

[velvet marsh]

Yeah she just religiously plays pokemon go and checks her google rewards lol

It keeps her walking tho and helps her lose weight so it is great

[elfin egret]

oh my god how long has she been doing Google opinion rewards?

I've been doing it for the past few months and have only gotten about $10

[velvet marsh]

like 10+ years easily

[elfin egret]

Ah I see

[neon mesa]

Grind bing rewards

I got a solid 60 bucks out of it
Tho I didn't grind it

I just switch my main search engine to bing and it builds up naturally

That's weird. I swore Apple got rid of non-card accounts in iOS6 or iOS7

[jagged dune]

well that's ur problem

I'll see myself out

The only way that you would have one is when you signed up before then and still didn't have a card... or you're in a region that allows that

@tepid jasper I saw that

When a pc overheats does it restart?

[tulip wagon]

Yeah, I think both GPU and CPU have limits when the system is just shutting down after certain temp is reached

I need help with mobo choosing : /

[mellow juniper]

Hi

[gilded quest]

typically if a component gets too hot, it will throttle (reduce clocks) to reduce energy consumption and heat output

if the temp continues to rise even with throttling, PCs can do an emergency shutdown

[full fossil]

Fun fact
There is a 40 size keyboard

how hard would it be to make a device you could plug a PWM fan(s) into, then use a hardware knob to set the fan RPM or alternatively have a "fuck it" mode where the motherboard fan curve takes over

[tall frigate]

you guys know any good wallpaper websites or apps for pc?

[muted relic]

So regarding that new Wi-fi video.

Isn't one of the best ways to keep your wifi network safe to not have your SSID broadcasted?

There is no handshake packet given out that way

So no information to be taken and cracked

[zinc oracle]

Alpha coders

[zinc oracle]

Yes

[muted relic]

Then why wasn't it mentioned

[zinc oracle]

And make sure your router is wpa 3

[muted relic]

That doesn't help when you got devices from before 2019, like a switch or PS4.

[zinc oracle]

Not sure, but it makes your network show as hidden network and require both ssid and password

So you could essentially have 2 passwords

[zinc oracle]

Eventually it will, in the meantime make your password unreasonably long and complex

[graceful burrow]

What are your specs

[full fossil]

not great:
rtx 3070
i5-9600k
32gb ddr4 @ 2666mHz

pretty missmatched components because ive upgraded the gpu from a 1060

[graceful burrow]

Honestly
Maybe

It is pretty lopsided

Shit steam refund so good I say go for it, you'll know with 2 hours if it'll run well kek

[spring pine]

Or you can do you know what

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
Which is what I'd do if I was in that situation tbh but eh
Hard to recommend a newbie do it lmao

[jaunty compass]

the game runs on a steam deck it will be fine

[graceful burrow]

Runs at 30 on deck
Fine for a handheld
If I can't hit 60 on my pc it ain't worth me playin

[full fossil]

im not gonna upgrade anymore until i can afford second hand parts for a full new system, im thinking like a 4070 super, 12th gen i5 and faster ram in a year or so from ebay

[eternal hearth]

that should run cyberpunk alright

[harsh quartz]

What’s with all the “air cooling is dead” or “water cooling is dead” stuff recently?

why is it that new ltt orders are expected to ship at april 234?

[spring pine]

[graceful burrow]

yeah that's typically how marketing trends go

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but I’m curious what started the trend

[graceful burrow]

someone tried it and they suddenly got tons of views
it's been a normal thing for shitty spam channels on youtube for years now

[manic torrent]

Because YouTube rewards sensationalism

[harsh quartz]

Idk, I just noticed I had seen this general phrase quite a few times in the past week or two

[graceful burrow]

google the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon

[harsh quartz]

Fair, but I also just looked into it and realized it’s mostly hardware unboxed using the same title

[hearty spear]

Idk if new cyberpunk will run well there

The new engine uses up to 16 threads

[harsh quartz]

Oof

[hearty spear]

It was updated with the launch of Phantom Liberty

Old CP2077 already wanted at least 8, but they turned it way up

[eternal hearth]

https://youtu.be/2cLGy3NV1Ds mike gaming

[hearty spear]

And that proves it runs poorly

In empty areas it was 85-90

As soon as 2 people were visible 70

[eternal hearth]

well thats their opinion to make, also at high settings

you dont need a billion frames on every game goddam

[graceful burrow]

ultra dlss lol

if you need dlss it doesnt run well

[hearty spear]

It's cpu limited. Lowering graphics won't change that much

[eternal hearth]

well anyway runs well enough

[hearty spear]

In combat it dropped to the high 40's

And that wasn't heavy combat

In a good firefight, that'd be in the 30s

[harsh quartz]

Tbf this is also 1440p

Also dogtown runs like shit, even on mine

Other parts of the game are much more stable

[hearty spear]

1080 won't get better fps when cpu limited

[velvet root]

the cybertruck is what happens when someone wants to make a delorean except on ketamine instead of cocaine

[fossil frost]

the cybertruck is what happens when you let a 50 year old with the mind of a 5 year old, run a company

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/loof-and-timmy-loof-shock-shook-omg-gif-14438217

[velvet root]

my grandparents had a delorean. my grandfather would say they could put a time machine in it but not power steering

[harsh quartz]

I like to think that due to the angles of the cybertuck, that’s a bike that they hit on the road and it just glitched into the bed

[fossil frost]

i like to think that due to the design of the cybertruck, it makes it really easy to spot arseholes (anyone who is in one)

[dreamy thorn]

They also couldn't put a powerful engine in it
Or s good lightweight chassis

[fossil frost]

the delorean was also a car designed by a 50 year old with the mind of a 5 year old... was a "im going to make my mark on the world" project by somebody who had no idea what they were doing

[dreamy thorn]

It's funny how the Delorean is a cult classic despite being one of the worst cars of all time, just like the countach

But at least it does look cool

[harsh quartz]

I think you mean, all Tesla drivers

[harsh quartz]

How dare you insult the pinto like this.

[fossil frost]

many people buy teslas, do so because they still think they are the only electric car, and dont realise that much better electric cars exist now

[dreamy thorn]

Why would you buy a cyber truck instead of a Tacoma anyways?

The Tacoma at least works in general

[harsh quartz]

Anyone not willing to do any research before spending that amount of money still counts in my book

[jagged dune]

because time machine

[fierce tinsel]

Large wallet, small pp..

[jagged dune]

true

[velvet root]

generally the idiots where i live drive lifted dodge rams

[fossil frost]

anybody who buys a truck, and isnt a builder or a farmer... is an arsehole... nobody who doesnt fill up the bed, every day.. needs one at all... men in their 40s who have things that are very small, buy them to make themselves feel better..

[muted tusk]

lifted dodge rams at least work

[harsh quartz]

No those are southerners, it’s a different breed

[muted tusk]

and it's hard to get them stuck in sand

[jagged dune]

im pretty sure most cars can drift if you rlly wanted them to..

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/truck-gif-4987711

[dreamy thorn]

Well yeah but considering the build quality + the massive weight it would be harder without it imploding kek

[karmic sequoia]

Citroen hydropneumatic > anything else

[jagged dune]

it's electric so it's the newest craze

[dreamy thorn]

The c15 wasn't even hydropneumatic and it's an amazing work vehicle

[jagged dune]

i

[muted tusk]

yeah cybertruck would probably flip or just keep going forward and hit the ditch

[dreamy thorn]

My family still uses one for farm work, it's astonishingly good

[fossil frost]

they are completely unnecessary. never met anyone who actually uses them as indended, never met anyone who didnt buy one for any reason other than "they look cool", which translates to "im a man in my 40s and i am going bald, so want something to compensate for that"

[harsh quartz]

Honestly I think it being electric has nothing to do with it. It’s a Tesla and its musks bullshit that results in the craze

[dreamy thorn]

Sounds like a US problem, where I live everyone who owns a pickup does so for good reasons

[jagged dune]

I'll be here cheering when the electric hellcat dies and they go back to actual engine

[dreamy thorn]

If they are allowed

[harsh quartz]

Then you have very little experience or have chosen to ignore it.

[harsh quartz]

Just today we had to use our pickup to tow home our new lawnmower

[jagged dune]

true but lets be real recently the whole "electric" thing for vehicles has been kinda blowing up (literally and figuratively)

[dreamy thorn]

I still dread the day my beloved Mr2 gets outlawed

[fossil frost]

could quite easily be done with any car, pickup is unneeded for that job

[jagged dune]

the better damn be this shits terrible

[harsh quartz]

Honestly, the electric craze seems to have peaked already, like yes they are still everywhere but now they’re just another normal car

[harsh quartz]

Yeah lemme grab my Camry with a towing hitch real quick

[dreamy thorn]

I think they'll realise soon progress isn't going as fast as they want

I still think the way to go is eco gasoline two strokes

[jagged dune]

props to ford (not a fan of fords) for not going electric like the clanneger and hellcat

[harsh quartz]

Or when it iced, lemme grab my 4x4 Kia sportage

[fossil frost]

my mondeo (fusion in the USA? ) my old focus, several other cars i have had.. all had tow bars, and i could tow anything with them, even the old fiesta i had, could tow some quite heavy shit with ease... its all about knowing how to do it ,rather than just buying the big truck that is useful 1 day out of the entire year

[harsh quartz]

What about the load of mulch we bought last week? Let’s put that in the trunk of a mondeo

[fossil frost]

mondeo, front wheel drive, driven in the most stupid of icy conditions.. also fine... because torque matters, not the number of driven wheels... number of driven wheels CAN increase torque, but a better design and better engine does much more

[dreamy thorn]

Small trucks are where it's at, just buy an old Toyota

[harsh quartz]

We have a 2011 frontier, it’s not small but it’s not massive either, very mid sized

[fossil frost]

done that too, cut down a large tree from my back garden, chipped it, all went in to a large builders delivery sack that went into my car boot

what your problem is, is confirmation bias, you bought it, so you need to justify having bought it, so you are justifying it with all things that can be done with literally any other car

[harsh quartz]

What are we calling a large tree? Also that’s not the same as a bed full of mulch

When we got stuck in the mud with the Camry, the truck towed it out, when we had to move our bookshelves 3 states away, that truck was real handy. It’s not always needed, no, but it’s a very nice thing to have

[fossil frost]

i made 2 trips, each trip had 550kg in the boot (slightly more than its rated limit). could have cut it down to a single trip with a truck... but... for the 1 time im ever going to do that... 2 trips makes more sense

[dreamy thorn]

I have a fascination with big payloads on small roadsters

[fossil frost]

and if i ever needed to move something absolutely enormous.. i can rent a 7 ton van, that anyone with a full uk licence can legally drive... and it would cost me about £150

so as i said... pickups are completely unnessessary.. and people who own them use the 3-4 things they ever use them for... over the whole life of the vehicle... to justify buying it.. .when any other car would have been fine too, and cost less, and be more efficient, and faster, and more fun to drive, and more comfortable...

if you are a farmer, who loads it up every day, and uses it for its intended purpose, a work vehicle... then thats completely different.. 100% the best tool for the job

[harsh quartz]

Aight so what about when we have to load 15 cots into the back of it, cause I can only fit about 12 in the suv, and I don’t feel like making 2 trips

[harsh quartz]

Clearly this couch feel off a large crane while being loaded into a skyscraper

[fossil frost]

when has that ever happened, enough times in a period of times, where it makes it worth having? it hasnt...

[harsh quartz]

We do this every month, twice a month

That’s how I know I can only fit 12 in my suv

[dreamy thorn]

Seeing a pickup in Europe is rare, and when you see it it usually is a company truck

[fossil frost]

and again... i could rent a van, where i could fit 10x that into the van... for the cost of a weeks worth of fuel in a pickup

[harsh quartz]

Or, instead of renting a van for every situation you’ve suggested that for, just have a truck, cause those rentals add up

[fossil frost]

the cost of owning the truck adds up too

[harsh quartz]

And the fuel mileage isn’t as bad as you seem to suggest

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, cause it’s a vehicle

[fossil frost]

19mpg, 21 at best if you drive it carefully?

[harsh quartz]

Ours is 21 average, yeah, which, again, isn’t “the cost of a rental over the course of a week”

[fossil frost]

buy a ford transit... you can fit far more into it, and you would get about 40mpg

ohh wait no.. .a ford transit van doesnt have the same compensator energy

its far more useful for what you are doing, would mean you could fit far more into a single journey

[harsh quartz]

So then why would you own a mondeo instead of a transit if it’s so good?

[fossil frost]

and would save you aton of money

[fossil frost]

i dont need a transit

[harsh quartz]

Neither do we, we have a truck

[fossil frost]

you clearly do though, it would save you a fortune

i sold mine because i didnt use it

[harsh quartz]

It’s not needed everyday, but when it is needed it’s nice to have

And no, it’s not a compensator mobile

[fossil frost]

so again, its unnecessary, you have it, just because you want it, not because its needed.. the very definition of unnecessary

[harsh quartz]

Following that train of logic neither are suvs or minivans

[dreamy thorn]

Suvs are useless, unlike minivans or pickups

[harsh quartz]

Also no

[dreamy thorn]

They are too big physically for the too little storage they have

Something like a ford tourneo is a better idea imo

[harsh quartz]

Okay, I’ve seen ones like this and yes I’ll agree, those are terrible, but some are plenty big on the inside

[dreamy thorn]

If you have a big family and need to carry it around + a dog that's what my uncle uses just that

[harsh quartz]

But why did people start caring about them? Almost as if they’re useful to have

[fossil frost]

they are not necessary no. unless you require the space. personally, an SUV would do me well, because i have a wife, 3 kids, and a dog, and we are regularly in the car, travelling to various parts of the country.. so their defined use, i would use it for.. .but.. i found something better... just because they are useful, does not meen you NEED one, and doesnt mean that people who bought them, needed them

people who bought them in the 80s, bought them to have a larger vehicle, because it made them feel more important, or better than other people

still a common american thing today... need bigger, because bigger is better

[harsh quartz]

You do understand that midsize trucks and SUV’s exist right? And a midsize suv isn’t much bigger than y’all’s beloved hatchbacks and station wagons

[fossil frost]

i didnt say all use cases should be dismissed.. i said that the majority of people who buy trucks, dont need them, and buy them as a status thing... which is 100% what it is... if you NEED one daily.. then you need one.. if you find that it makes life slightly easier once or twice a year, you bought one for a status boost... thats it... same goes for SUVs, and minivans..

[harsh quartz]

No but if I’m paying 20k for a sedan or 20k for an suv, I’m gonna go for the suv because it has more overall utility

[harsh quartz]

It’s not a status thing my guy, unless it’s a fuckin king ranch or lifted hemi

[fossil frost]

my farther in laws SUV was more expensive than my sedan... and has FAR less utility, because the boot space is smaller, and has no roof rail mounting system, and cannot have a tow bar attached.. there are LOADS of SUVs that are the same too, because they have turned into a status thing... same with modern trucks

[harsh quartz]

Cool, then that’s the one that he bought, so maybe he did buy it for that reason, but lumping in everyone into one major generalization off of one anecdote is a little dumb

[fossil frost]

im not bothered anyway, you do you... my tooth hurts so im going to sleep

[harsh quartz]

But it’s bigger so clearly it’s only bought status

[ancient moat]

Mmm i love big suv's

[harsh quartz]

Which is completely different than people in the EU who used to buy station wagons and hatchbacks for the same fuckin reasons :p

What is the rough AMD equivalent of the 4070?

[vapid smelt]

7700xt/6800xt

[harsh quartz]

So get a 6950xt instead?

[vapid smelt]

nah the 4070super it peforms the same and draws way less power

[harsh quartz]

7900xtx, gotcha

[neon mesa]

No

The 7800xt is more fitting than 7700xt

Considering the 6800xt perform very similarly to 7800xt

The 7700xt is quite far away from both 7800xt and 4070

[neon mesa]

I don't see the 7700xt anywhere there

Fits my point that 7800xt is a better point of comparison

[vapid smelt]

nah the 6800xt

[neon mesa]

7800xt / 6800xt

[alpine gale]

Never implement a temporary workaround you're unhappy with management deciding should become permanent. 🤣

[fierce tinsel]

Or always make sure your temp solutions are so bad that they could never make it to production 😉

[mystic tundra]

7700xt ~ 6800

7700xt may be a bit worse

7800xt = 6800xt +3%~

[neon mesa]

i mean hey, the temporary workaround ended up being perfect. Simple and to the point, i don't see how they can make it more elegant.

[fierce tinsel]

Add a Ribbon bar and transparency?

[alpine gale]

I would expect nothing less from Canadian Dave.

[neon mesa]

Unnecessary

please do not smell the vent fumes on the steam deck - news from steam

Galaxy buds fe or 2 pro hmm. Cant decide what to splurge on

[lapis solstice]

I believe you're breaking the rules. You should prolly ask the mods before doing something like this.

[lavish path]

i hate ea app

i really really really hate the ea app

[quasi girder]

Is it the login every time? That’s what gets me

[gentle slate]

dont use it then

[lavish path]

well i have to

[lavish path]

yes

[gentle slate]

why

[lavish path]

i have f1 23 on the xbox app and i have ot use the ea app to launch it

[quasi girder]

Exactly what I use it for lmao

[lavish path]

also it takes ages to launch the game and idk why or if theres anyway to make it quicker

[quasi girder]

No

There was a phase when the ea app just straight up refused to accept that I have game pass, didn’t let me play any of my games

[lavish path]

hope that doesnt happen to me

We wish to clarify the situation involving Jame during the second map, Inferno, in the series against G2.

A technical malfunction occurred due to an NVIDIA driver crash, resulting in a game crash.

We are continuing our investigation into the matter.

Long ass link💀

[quasi belfry]

Why

[still olive]

Because SATA ssd are cheaper

[quasi belfry]

Ok

Who wants them tho

Maybe me if hard drives aren’t fast enough

[still olive]

And also they would be good if I'm gonna build a server

[quasi belfry]

128gb m.2

[still olive]

Do they work tho

[quasi belfry]

Both die at similar times, I can get double the storage on HDD for a similar price iirc

[still olive]

Well my GPU covers the m.2 slot on my mobo and my GPU runs pretty hot while gaming also I don't want to risk breaking my GPU or ssd if I do it wrong.

[quasi belfry]

Take out the GPU, install the m.2, put the GPU back in

As long as the m.2 has no heatsink, you good iirc

[still olive]

Yeah but knowing my luck I would break something

[quasi belfry]

I have taken apart and reassembled my pc 70 times by now as a noob lol

U fine

[still olive]

Yeah ok thanks for the confidence boost

[quasi belfry]

Mainly to build up confidence

Scared of screwing up my main build

[still olive]

Only thing I feel confident doing is cleaning my pc adding ram and ssds also applying thermal paste

[quartz coral]

Maybe u in the wrong region

[quartz coral]

7UT2V2HB2RCV6

[manic torrent]

The only thing I feel confident doing is removing half an ATX power connector, cutting two different ATX plugs in half, and soldering in the half ATX extension to allow clearance for my GPU in an eGPU case.

[still olive]

Nuh uh

[gentle slate]

only thing I feel confident doing is cutting up my PC case so I can fit stuff that shouldnt fit

[manic torrent]

making stuff do stuff that it shouldn't do is my raison d'etre

[fierce moth]

Adding usb C power to my stuff is a passtime of mine

what should it be

7900xt or 70 ti super

imo 70ti super better

debatable though

[vapid smelt]

Super has better ray tracing but also cost more

By a hundo dollars

And has a whole 4gb less vram

Traced rayz or cheaper
