[spice pine]

Good, New, Headphone Jack, and Unlocked Bootloader? pick 2

[north ermine]

good and headphone jack

[spice pine]

Galaxy Note FE

[harsh quartz]

Galaxy note founders edition?

[spice pine]

Fan edition

if you’re wanting newer, maybe a Moto G Stylus 2023?

[gentle slate]

Yk aside from some small stuff.. I'm thoroughly happy with my s23 plus

Battery life manages to easily last a day, sometimes even 2 depending on usage.

[full fossil]

idk pixel maybe

the older ones

they dont have a headphone jack but iirc they have an unlocked and relockable bootloader

is the jack very necessary? can't you just get those jack to type-c dongles?

im pretty sure one exists

[graceful burrow]

Nobody wants to carry one of them around

That's the whole point

[full fossil]

fair enough

[hearty spear]

leave it attached to the headphones

[craggy rose]

I only get suspicious when a bald guy has shampoo on the bathroom

🪿

[graceful burrow]

You're supposed to shampoo your head when bald
My buddy shaved his head entirely and still shampoos

[north ermine]

I'd get a pixel today if they had a headphone jack...

[idle nymph]

near no phone have that anymore

[north ermine]

Yeah, that's the problem

[strange elk]

Know what does?

Zenfone 10

[strange elk]

i fucking hate the phone market

[muted tusk]

Xperia 1, 5, 10
Zenfone
Galaxy A54, A34
Motorola G84

[wicked quiver]

yo guys look at this

@everyone

[strange elk]

I cant see

[wicked quiver]

did it doo anything

???

[strange elk]

young on discord should be a subreddit

If that isnt one, idk I dont use reddit anymore

[neon wyvern]

what? I have a phone that has 3 of them, and there are probably a phone with 4

[spice pine]

sure buddy

[strange elk]

Id consider Zenfone in 3 of those criteria lmao

[neon wyvern]

seriously? is it that hard to imagine a phone with an unlooked bootloader, headphone jack, and with decent specs?

[gray matrix]

oneplus 6t?

idk if it has headphone jack

[north ermine]

It has not

[gray matrix]

😭

I might get one used and put arch on it just bc it's funny

[thin tulip]

Most trolls under the age of 18 are a minor inconvenience.

[strange elk]

My criteria were unlocked, headphone jack, small, decent performance and budget restriction of $200. Pixel 4 barely fit 2 of these criteria for me since its a verizon model

[muted tusk]

Xperia though

but the budget part is out of question

[strange elk]

Genuine anguish

[north ermine]

Literally have a Huawei P20 lite atm and it beats everything that's on the market 7 years later...

[neon wyvern]

what about this?
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/blu-g93-128gb-unlocked-black/6544770.p?skuId=6544770

[strange elk]

I like this phone but.. Verizon can go to hell

[spice pine]

well, because it’s a Huawei phone, enjoy that lack of any secure personal info there

[north ermine]

pretty good, but no headphone jack

[strange elk]

Id sooner buy a Zenfone. The size is the biggest thing for me

[north ermine]

7 years ago Huawei wasn't that controversial...

[strange elk]

Big phones are awful

[muted tusk]

definitely look at Zenfone then

[north ermine]

Also with an unlocked bootloader, you can just load your own OS on there...

[olive surge]

hi

[neon wyvern]

are there any oses that aren't ios that also aren't a edited version of android

[spice pine]

holy shit did 2007 just pop into the chat

[ionic abyss]

Is a 3070ti super a good ka r d

[strange elk]

Fairphone and pinephone I think, and librem but that company is sketch I think nowadays.

I kinda went the way of stock device OSes but..

[muted tusk]

Windows Phone

[north ermine]

Depends on what you mean... There are a bunch of Linux based ones.
In most cases, I think people want something like GrapheneOS or LineageOS, etc. but these are still android based, but not exactly what people think about when you say you have an android phone...

[calm swan]

good luck with headphone jack

xperia is pretty much it atp

or a gaming phone

[strange elk]

Why headphone jack mandatory anyway? TWS have gotten a lot cheaper in the case of Moondrop

[calm swan]

headphone jack should be a thing, but ive stopped caring about it

[tired glade]

Because Apple doesn't want to pay licence cost and everyone just do what Apple do

[strange elk]

what?

[north ermine]

Yeah, I have kinda been wondering if I should go with a sony phone...

[muted tusk]

3.5mm costs licensing??

[tired glade]

One of reasons why iPhone lost 3.5mm

[tired glade]

Yep,there is

[strange elk]

Imma need a source.. Im not finding anything

[tired glade]

Also wireless headphones way more expensive

[muted tusk]

TIL

[strange elk]

$25

[graceful burrow]

99% sure it doesnt, unless you can find a source
i sure cant

[muted tusk]

also yeah I can't find a source
just clickbait

[strange elk]

For TWS that sound decent even comparing to Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

(I had them and lost them, god I miss the ANC but..)

[graceful burrow]

i found two articles saying it is and they're both on Medium lmao

[strange elk]

Dudes spouting nonsense thats not even relevant to what Im talking about

[graceful burrow]

everything else lists it as not requiring licensing fees

[calm swan]

??

apple dropped it to sell the airpods, smart move on them tbh

[strange elk]

^

The real reason

[calm swan]

you can get some for so cheap lol

[graceful burrow]

microsoft patented this receptacle
which is super fucking neat but ive never once seen it on any device

[calm swan]

thats sick acc

[strange elk]

Because theres space in those massive ass phones they are releasing, or they can make some. Thats absolutely no excuse

[graceful burrow]

it was probably not reliable

[calm swan]

smasnug fitting the s pen and headphone jack back then lol

[tired glade]

3.5mm jack patent is so deep...

[graceful burrow]

so prove it
you seem to know so much about it

yet everything on the internet is against you
it doesnt require licensing fees

[strange elk]

Legit we werent even talking about the apple thing till you brought it up

[spice pine]

the reason given by apple for removing the headphone jack was “to make the device even thinner” and tbh, with how well-utilized the space on iphones are, it tracks

and Apple tends to be the trendsetter here so

[strange elk]

Someone modded one into the iphone 7 still, and ipod touch were super thin

[tired glade]

Microsoft news is so up, that pattern itself barely visible

here's the patent for displayport, a license free connector
it having a patent doesnt mean it requires a license

[tropic egret]

Okay did they accidentally release a FP vid on main youtube channel LOL

[tired glade]

I won't go for 15 pages of parents again,to find Sony original one

[graceful burrow]

sure sure

you know how the internet works
pics or didnt happen

[tired glade]

Aren't those separate servers?

[potent goblet]

edg.

[graceful burrow]

i have found zero info on the 3.5mm headphone jack requiring license fees

[tired glade]

Find somewhere from 1997

[graceful burrow]

i can find it on every single connector that does easily

[tired glade]

Or better original one from 1989

[strange elk]

Thats not 2024

[graceful burrow]

yeah shame you cant produce any documentation proving the point you made, huh

sorry
the point you tried to make*

[tropic egret]

It's live on Linus Tech Tips main channel LOL idk thought it'd have context but it's straight up FP video LOL

OH THEY PRIVATED IT LOL

okay good they removed it jeez

[strange elk]

rip, never showed on my feed

[spice pine]

[tall lagoon]

i downloaded it before he removed it

[graceful burrow]

before sony even fucking existed lmao

i wish more diy projects used 3.5mm to communicate

you can push usb 2 through a 4-pole

[graceful burrow]

here's the spec sheet by the maintainers of the trr(r)s specification

[strange elk]

HDMI has a royalty though

If you wanted an example of one that has them

[graceful burrow]

yeah and notice how absurdly easy it is to find that info

if something has license fees itll be listed pretty promintently lol

[full fossil]

should i be concerned that after i replaced the breaker in my house my lights have been flickering way more.

where all the old wiring was

basically all the old wiring that wasnt replaced is having issues with lights flickering

[fossil frost]

if your lights are flickering, you should be concerned, something is fucked up

[full fossil]

.

[full fossil]

yeah something. but its only on the older side of the wiring

anything new has no issues

[fossil frost]

electrical fires that burn your house down dont care if its the old side or new side

[zinc oracle]

.

[full fossil]

yeah. all the burnt wiring got replaced

anything that wasnt damaged or not burnt wasnt replaced

[fossil frost]

if your lights are still flickering, you didnt get all of it

[full fossil]

i said all the burnt wiring got replaced

nothing else did in terms of wiring

but we did get a whole new breaker

[manic torrent]

This does happen, but I'm willing to bet you also don't understand

[manic torrent]

that is very very very bad

[full fossil]

yeah. cant do anything abt it

insurance only covered anything that was damaged

[manic torrent]

that's... not true

There are many things you can do about it

[full fossil]

im not in a financially good situation

my family goes broke in abt 7 days

after their paycheck comes in.

[manic torrent]

well then... wait 7 days and see how it goes

[full fossil]

well we got a good fire extinguisher so. If another one does happen then insurnace is paying for all the damages done

and im forced to move AGAIN

[manic torrent]

I would probably be trying to troubleshoot and isolate the issue ...

[tired glade]

Interesting failer, maybe it will be on vanshow

[full fossil]

all the wiring is under the house. There are crawl spaces but i dont ahve the guts to go under there

and its happeniung on all the old wiring part

[manic torrent]

I prefer crawling under houses to house fires, but you do you

[full fossil]

true. we cant find anything usefull probably. Its just most likely bad wiring at this point

[fossil frost]

it sounds, like you are looking for us to say that doing a half arsed job is ok and that your house wont burn down. but it will

[manic torrent]

nono it might not burn DOWN

[full fossil]

they didnt half ass it its because insurance fucked me over

[manic torrent]

see, where I live we have minimum electrical standards, and insurance would have been forced to replace and upgrade the lot.

[full fossil]

just ordered my ltt screwdriver 🙂

[tired glade]

Congrats

[manic torrent]

You will love it for two reasons

1. They are very good.
2. You spent a bunch of money on it and want to believe that you made a good decision

[full fossil]

ive made worse financial decisions

[manic torrent]

hi5!

[fossil frost]

#2

[cold prism]

I like my ltt screwdriver

I use it most often to take apart and clean my needlessly expensive pocket knives or work on my needlessly expensive guitars

Needed a needlessly expensive screwdriver

[full fossil]

i mess with 3d printers and i despise allen keys

and ive watched ltt since 2015

so why not

[manic torrent]

you know you can get hex screwdrivers 🙂

I literally have some on my desk right here

[full fossil]

yeah but ltt screwdriver is gooder

[manic torrent]

I just have both

I use LOTS of hex for my RC stuff

[full fossil]

i bought the original z fold so ive definitely made worse financial desicions

now i have the z fold 4 and it actually works

[vapid smelt]

Did you remove the "screen protector" when you got it?

[full fossil]

...

i wouldnt call it a screen protecter

[vapid smelt]

Nah it's totally a screen protector

[full fossil]

also the notch was horrible looking

[spice pine]

it indeed is listed as a screen protector, but it’s mandatory due to the material of the display

[full fossil]

it reminds me of cheap monitors where the polarizing film starts peeling

[vapid smelt]

Let's make a screen that can be damaged by a finger nail

[full fossil]

genius.

🍞

ofc i have a dbrand case on my phone

xray

[cold prism]

I only use kickstand cases

Can't go without one after getting used to it

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, though you can somewhat peel it off by now

The reason you couldn't at the Z Fold 1 was because the entire screen was plastic; you literally ripped the LCD layer along with it

[full fossil]

epic fail

[calm swan]

which one do you have

[summer folio]

plastic screen

use fingernails to scratch

[craggy rose]

Bro. Now I am convinced that I'm jumping through multiverses, what the f happened, yesterday was doing research on some public agencys here in Brazil and there was this IDEF that IDEB succeeded, and it just vanished from the internet

[summer folio]

ur saying its glass now?

[vapid zephyr]

Yes

[vapid zephyr]

Ever since the Z Fold 2, it's been glass

[summer folio]

Have science come this far? Glass screens? Maybe I'll upgrade my Galaxy Y(oung) with plastic screen from 2012.

[craggy rose]

Every day things are slightly odd, almost like false memories

[nova ingot]

That awkward moment when you're on a call and someone starts talking to you and you tell them they you need them to stay quiet but they didn't hear you so they talk even louder

[summer folio]

Just skill issues on Marques part then?

[nova ingot]

I'm on a video call

What?
I said I'm on a call
WHHAT?

[vapid zephyr]

It's not that easy to make a foldable display not plastic, glass don't bent too well. That is also the reason why the glass is so thin and still scratches at the same level as plastic

[summer folio]

So, it's plastic then.

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, this tweet is from 2019, so it's the Z Fold 1

[summer folio]

Oh, gotcha

[vapid zephyr]

Nope, glass and you can certainly feel it's glass instead of plastic

but you can't just slap rigid glass on there and expect it to bend, it just doesn't

It almost can, as you can see when you try to bend a glass screen protector

[craggy rose]

So we need to develop a glass like material that can bend

Oh wait

Plastic

🐥

I should say a more resistant material

[manic torrent]

I love how "plastic" covers such a HUGE range of composite materials

[craggy rose]

the beauty of industrialization

[vapid zephyr]

Lmao

But yes, we need a new type of material that can bend like plastic but is also as or similarly hard as tempered glass while being transparent to be able to see through

Clearly glass isn't cutting it for bending and plastic isn't cutting it for hardness

[craggy rose]

Or just make plastic more resistant

With some sort of coating

Maybe applied with more density in the flatter areas of the screen and in the hinge In a pattern that still maintains the flexibility

[craggy rose]

Is it even possible to have something hard but still flexible in a substantial way?

[gleaming harbor]

those screen protectors that break if you bend it new

[craggy rose]

Well, something that breaks if you bend it isn't the best option

Maybe just maybe we could create a way to fuse plastic and glass

That would help to reduce scratches in the flatter areas of the screen and still maintain flexibility in the hinge

Idk, just ideas

🤠

[gleaming harbor]

oh no i broke my glass plastic bottle
but i stepped on it and it's not that painful

[craggy rose]

Lego of the future

[gleaming harbor]

its like that breaking bad candy like you melt sugar color it blue and leave it in a mold and it looks like glass

https://youtu.be/ZY63ZSUdywY

[craggy rose]

Ah yes, the blue crystal candy

🐿️

I mean, there are materials like nitinol that can change phases with stress applied and That makes them unusually flexible

Still being surprisingly resistant

If we develop a way to do that with a transparent material like quartz that have a crystalline structure we hit the jackpot

Flexible glass

I would be first in line to help out anyway I can

I would even volunteer, just for the excitement 😊

[real schooner]

Tech chats seem to be a dumpster fire rn, so posting here:
It's been discussed on the WAN show a few times that search engines are crap now, because of course they are, and we can't have nice things.
I ditched native chrome bc Google, and moved to DDG but they don't seem to support boolean operators to help sift through the SEO chaff. Is it PEBKAC, or are there better browsers/search engines?

[full fossil]

Yes

Frogfind, made for older systems by a tech YouTuber and supported through the community

I’ve used it a few times, it’s quick

[real schooner]

Oooh, promising!

[full fossil]

Hope it helps

Frogfind.com

If someone from the WAN show is watching, maybe you can float the idea of a Toronto office?
The more I think of it, the more fun it would be

[elfin egret]

it's

😢

BEAUTIFUL

[hearty spear]

what function would a toronto office serve LMG?

[elfin egret]

yeah it's not like they are manually distributing their videos

It all goes on social media, so as a separate center of distribution it's not necessary

Plus the complexity and costs of making one would be beyond the worth it would have

[summer folio]

They should get people to subscribe to their mail list

[fierce tinsel]

Indeed, LMG's current setup is optimal, one location for everyone needed on location, and remote work for anyone else.. they really wouldn't have much benefit to adding additional physical locations.

[muted tusk]

main benefit is more warehouses for merch

[small depot]

🍞

[fierce tinsel]

It all comes in or is assembled in the Vancouver area.. so thats just added steps.. if anything for storage for merch they would likely be better off having a warehouses in Washington State due to how much cheaper it is to ship from the US vs Canada..

[undone aspen]

Why the hell is getting a job as a 18 year old so hard

[fierce tinsel]

Cause kids don't wanna work anymore, thats why we gotta raise prices! /s

[low rain]

I think kinda do wanna work cause like atleast in my friend group, my brothers friendgroup, and my sisters friendgroup like everyone got a job once they turned 16 and always wanted to work

Some even at like 15

[quasi belfry]

So it’s fine if I put it whole pc (beside the peripherals like keyboard, mouse, mic, headphones, screen, etc) in a mini fridge, it would be better performance? Ignoring condensation in this scenario

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8bhGw4vUFE

[manic torrent]

IFF heat is the limiting factor in your performance, sure.

[quasi belfry]

If I can figure out proper oc, yes probably

[quasi belfry]

8 years old… holy hell

[velvet marsh]

No, a fridge is not designed for a constant heat load

[undone aspen]

I’m in the uk and have applied to 196 jobs since I turned 16 and I’m 18 now and I’ve never had a job

[quasi belfry]

Aight

[undone aspen]

That 196 is only big company’s

I went in with my cv into all sorts of small businesses

How is this different from #off-topic ?

Nvm i forgor to read about channel, I'm a bit new to discord

[quasi belfry]

Even worse in the USA (I’m in pain)

[muted tusk]

companies generally do not want to train
and expectations of skill level is rising for tedious/basic tasks
my assumption

[vapid smelt]

just join a gang

[digital dock]

Western countries are having a people saturation problem.

[fierce moth]

ik what its like

[full fossil]

There are many functions,

1. Allow for greater testing of equipment with less downtown. As there is now a redundant location that can continue the work.
2. Open more opportunities for people to join the team, continue to grow the channels.
3. More sponsors, as TO is becoming a larger tech hub but by but.
   There are many other benefits, that’s just the tip of the iceberg

[vapid smelt]

should have been 18 in 2020-2022 it was super easy to get a job back then

[quasi belfry]

And I already know TEC cooling isn’t the best with all core loads

[full fossil]

I still can,to believe MSI made a board with 7 NVMe PCIE slots

The one for over 1,500 dollars

[fierce tinsel]

Ya those benefits don't really seem realistic.. LTT's sponsors are not local to begin with, and given they are an online presense, they sponsors don't really care where they are located as long as the message gets out. A second lab, the first one hasn't even paid for itself (or as far as we know, isn't even fully up to speed) so thats a lot of risk.. Plus at some point their one lab is probably going to have no major issues keeping up with the new products they want to test each year.. and I doubt they plan to test everything ever..

Potential team members is valid, but I haven't heard anything about LMG having issues finding people for their jobs.. so not as big a deal as something more specialized..

[graceful burrow]

yeah i dont think it's a good idea for them to expand, they arent in a good position to

they burned a ton of money on labs and other ventures

[full fossil]

Ah Ic

[fierce tinsel]

Agreed.. I think the next few years they need to recop the money they spent..

[elfin egret]

They are gonna have to recover from the tax write off shirts 💀

[fierce tinsel]

If they were to expand I'd stick with expanding in their own area too, more building in the same park.. not into different cities/provinces/countries.. keeping stuff local, especially as local as they are now, is a huge benefit to being able to move people and product around as needed when needed with minimal overhead..

I mean its all in walking distance now.. or a very short drive if moving something big/heavy

[vapid smelt]

but those buildings are $$$$$$

[elfin egret]

It's not like Toronto would be cheaper

[fierce tinsel]

Indeed which is why I said they sould hold off on anything for now

[elfin egret]

The cost to move supplies and hire staff across the country would not be worth it, even if they find an area in Toronto with cheaper land prices

[fierce tinsel]

How about we get a Labs website up and a Badminton center open before any thoughts of new projects 🙂

[elfin egret]

Yeah I want to see the labs website

[vapid smelt]

i dont understand the badminton investment

Linus also did promise that there would be no new property stuff for a while

[summer folio]

Real, they should just pick & pack & move everything to Quebec instead.

[fierce tinsel]

Ya but do we really believe him? :p I'd trust that more coming from Yvonne..

[hearty spear]

He promised her lol

[fierce tinsel]

I'd say move to Nova Scotia, but it ain't cheap here either :p

[tardy terrace]

novahh scotiahh

[summer folio]

There is no Lab.
There never was.

The lab is a lie.

[fierce tinsel]

It was just a tax writeoff.

[hearty spear]

I'm kinda mad I missed that show, I'd have bought stuff

[fierce tinsel]

I missed the first batch, but that was a blessing, cause the Grey ones are much more my style..

I do regret missing out on one of the hoodies.. I got one but would have prefered the black one

Reminds me of when I used to use an OC'd P4 in a shuttle PC case as a spaceheater.. and sometimes for computer stuff too I guess :p

[neon mesa]

yeaa i don't think my card can push more than the 340w

[graceful burrow]

I have used the 3090 for heat specifically before kek

[neon mesa]

mine is a 2x8pin model

[graceful burrow]

Mine has the 3x8 to 12 pin

[neon mesa]

Maybe gonna go to a 4080 next year

I need to suppress my need, no, want to keep upgrading ;-;

[graceful burrow]

I'm coolin with the 3090 for now it's plenty powerful enough for me
And that 24gb vram
Anything I upgrade to will be a downgrade to thr vram

I ran a 1080 until a few months ago I can ride out this 3090 for years

Provided the back vram doesn't commit die on me

[sweet thorn]

hellooo

i completely forgot this server exists

[graceful burrow]

Hello

[nimble phoenix]

Yo does anyone know what the second letter is

It can be typed on keyboard apparently

[sweet thorn]

bros tryna break into an account

[graceful burrow]

Wow that's an unsecure password

[quasi belfry]

You know them server gpu cooler shroud thingy?

[sweet thorn]

Ø

[full fossil]

ϕ ?

[quasi belfry]

Could I use one on a cpu?

[sweet thorn]

that was easy to find

alt 0 2 1 6

[graceful burrow]

Link a Pic of what you're talking about

[full fossil]

i see some lmg staff not idle

[graceful burrow]

Congrats your eyes work

[full fossil]

yes

[quasi belfry]

Something like

[graceful burrow]

I mean
They make heatsinks for cpus like that just without the top

[quasi belfry]

(The K80)

[graceful burrow]

You wouldn't be able to mount that on a cpu

I own a tesla with that cooler lol

[sweet thorn]

thats just an extended cpu cooler with a plastic shroud for design

so technically it works

[quasi belfry]

Specialized motherboard, could it work?

[quasi belfry]

Now I think of it, sort but not really

[graceful burrow]

Any chunk of metal with enough airflow around it would work dude

[sweet thorn]

only risk is shorting something if it happens to come in contact with something conductive considering it might not fit on a small cpu

[quasi belfry]

Anyway, back to looking at AI gpu’s out of boredom

[nimble phoenix]

But you can’t type that in a password bar so it can’t be?

[graceful burrow]

It's def sketch I'm not answering lol

[velvet marsh]

is it a 0?

typically people will put a slash through a zero to discern it from an o

[sweet thorn]

U gotta hold alt and type that

If u still can't, then they probably have formatting to prevent it so idk

[pallid falcon]

[median edge]

How good is the deck?

[pallid falcon]

Good 4 imdie

Depends on game

Plus lot of steam jank

[median edge]

Welllll, it is made by steam after all

I don't like that you have to use points to customise shit though

Like the keyboard

[pallid falcon]

Fr

[median edge]

Or boot animation ffs

[pallid falcon]

Default keyboard ftww

[pallid falcon]

U can sideload

[median edge]

Well at least that's a thing

Prob would just install Windows though tbh

[pallid falcon]

I don't want windows deck 😞

[median edge]

Would love Linux but not everything works on Linux yet

Why not?

[pallid falcon]

Cuz windows not touch friendly

Deck is

Plus I think deck not fully windows suprt

[median edge]

Hmmm, I guess you got a point but tbh I like cursors

I would install windows xp on it :3

[pallid falcon]

Deck has desktop mod

[median edge]

(that's a joke)

[pallid falcon]

Mode

[median edge]

Oh shit

But what about non steam apps?

[pallid falcon]

Can use repo manager 2 install like any other Linux os??

I install discord and spotify and edge

[median edge]

Hmm, what about shit like Minecraft lol

[pallid falcon]

And legalcopies of minecraft story mode I got on very official sources

[median edge]

Is that even compatible on Leenoox

[pallid falcon]

Ya?

[median edge]

Java MC

Hmm okay

I didn't know MC had Linux versions

I thought it was my notifications for a second and panicked lol

I have no notifications at all times

Also it is 3, go tf to sleep lol

[pallid falcon]

[cold dock]

i mean geometry dash is on linux so

[pallid falcon]

I get 2 many I no check

[median edge]

Imagine not controlling your notifications

[median edge]

That's a different game dummy lol

[pallid falcon]

Lot of x.com & outlook who send most

Snap chat would be top if did not mute most

Telegram 2..

Gmail... ehhh

Depend on day

[median edge]

I disable all notifications that are not important

[celest glacier]

I'd rather use Bluesky compared to Twitter.

[median edge]

Not even twatter is allowed to send me shit

Blue sky is better yeah but... Too small

[pallid falcon]

Bsky got worse after public

Many spam bot now..

[celest glacier]

True. The invitation system on Bsky was better rather than making it too public.

[median edge]

I don't use any social media aside from Discord soooo
L to both of you

[celest glacier]

Yup. What a shame to me 🤦‍♂️

[median edge]

[pallid falcon]

I have discord, xwitter, telegram, bsky,

[median edge]

I only have Discord :3

[pallid falcon]

If u count it, forums account 4 organization

[median edge]

Not personal sooo doesn't count

[pallid falcon]

And github

[median edge]

Show me your Christmas tree

:3

Checked myself, there's no Christmas tree

Tbh I need to use GitHub

[pallid falcon]

I can no find it

[median edge]

Goober

[median edge]

God your notifications lmfao

Wait bro is in incognito

What you been searching up buddy?

[pallid falcon]

[pallid falcon]

No want razer ads

[median edge]

Adblockers exist

[pallid falcon]

Have ublock

But still no want tracking

[median edge]

Unlock blocks that lol

Well... If you configured it properly

Privacy badger exists too

[pallid falcon]

Incognito too ;3

[median edge]

You need Furry Fox for those plugins tho

Tbh I switched to Furry Fox from Chrome on my phone and been happier since.

[pallid falcon]

Ewww

We need 2 use ff @ work

[median edge]

Idk I am gonna switch to FF when I go to my next windows install

I like how ff is just problem free

Chromium based browsers are a pain in my ass for too long, especially with their privacy violation recently

[pallid falcon]

Hm

Is storming out side

[still olive]

So I'm paying for Spotify premium but why when I shuffle my music it still adds recommend songs in it when I have it set to just shuffle through the music in my playlist and not add stuff

[pallid falcon]

Do u have enhance Playlist on

[still olive]

You mean smart shuffle?

[idle nymph]

yeah turn smart shuffle off

[still olive]

It's off

[gentle slate]

I wonder if I should change my pass manager

keeping my keepass database synced is getting clunky

[pallid falcon]

Did they rebrand it? Weird

[pallid falcon]

?

[gentle slate]

actually screw it ill stick with Keepass. I'll just occasionally change the password on everything and copy from that device to everythign else to keep stuff in line

[still olive]

Oh thanks just turned it off it's weird it never happened on my computer

Any Irish folks here who got any kind of food, pub or siteseeing recommendations for Dublin?

[manic torrent]

I'm not Irish but I went to Dublin and I can confirm, the Guiness there is better.

[wise tundra]

Hehehehe, June 31

[north ermine]

I would love if you could enlighten me 🙂

[manic torrent]

If you have any specific questions sure

[north ermine]

Sure, when companies remove features, locks down products, spy's on your life with the reasoning being "We do this for your security" or similar. What would your bet on what I don't understand be? I really don't mean this as an attack, but I'm rather curious to what I could miss 😅 Just wanna make sure that I have both sides.

[harsh quartz]

Why are world records any better there?

[manic torrent]

literally nothing in there is specific.

[north ermine]

I don't think I understand what you mean

[manic torrent]

I mean an actual instance of the thing you claim is happening.

[north ermine]

I have to reattempt this message because of the censor filter 🥲
But here are some examples I came up at the top of my head...
Bootloaders locked for your safety.
Not allowing third party repair on phones for your safety.
Cars must be only repaired by the dealership or someone will tickle your bum at the parking lot...
Not allowing third party phone repairs or they will install tiktok on your phone (preinstalls tiktok on the phones 6 months later...)
Part pairing for your safety
Scanning all your photos on your devices for your safety and security

And the list goes on and on... But these are the ones I came up with at the top of my head which are actual instances of the thing I claim is happening...

[manic torrent]

yes, and some of those are various levels of true. The problem is often that it's complex. But yes, companies can and will screw you over.

[north ermine]

But to wrap back, you had a bet on that I probably didn't understand, so I'm curious to what you meant by this 😅

[manic torrent]

secure boot/TPM is for security. Scanning your photos was a part of a specific intiative for safety and was absolutely ringfenced (but was still a bad idea).
Using apple for most of those - yeah, they are absolutely full of shit.

The problem is that the nuance of security is lost and many companies take advantage of it - but that conversely has the problem of people ignoring things that are said to be for security, because "oh that's just marketing BS". HOORAY

[north ermine]

Locked bootloaders are more like - apple, samsung, asus, ... (many of them lets you email them for a code which voids all warranty which is absoluely insane!)
Cars are more like... all of them expect for old dumb cars...
third party repair on phones are - apple, Samsung
tiktok thing was Samsung

I myself also don't like TPM and don't use secure boot tho 😅 secureboot interferes with my work...

[full fossil]

That's a lot of tech

[manic torrent]

Actually lots of modern cars there's plenty you can do yourself.

The primary systems which require dealer stuff is some airbag stuff, and things like changing mileage etc and sometimes pairing units

[north ermine]

Like paying for seat warmers 😛 I'm just joking. I myself am not much of a car person, but cars that sells your driving to insurance companies, pairs parts and obfuscates error codes seems like a nightmare...

[fierce moth]

They should put true Linux in cars

And by extention, doom

[dreamy thorn]

i think i overdid it

[dreamy thorn]

the good news is that at least by driving an old car you don't really have an unusable machine unlike with old computers

ask me why I know (I drive a car that's as old as me)

[manic torrent]

they do

[fierce moth]

Nah

That's watered down

[gilded forge]

the Cybertruck does have a real rear-view mirror

except that the back windows is almost always covered by the tunnel cover

so it's completely useless most of the tjme

[full fossil]

only one I agree with is tiktok that stuff is chinese spyware.

[full fossil]

Hey tiktok is my primary source of income I be doing the griddy on there for a paycheck

o dayum

[gilded forge]

I really don't care about the Chinese part bc I've never had an interest in tiktok. tiktok is just inherently dangerous. the amount of people (majorly teens and YA) who have died or been severely injured bc of tiktok is insane.

[tired glade]

Was ticktock banned?

[full fossil]

tiktok.com/griddyrizzler2.0/#live#laugh#love.megatron.gyat.net.au/uWuXD

[gilded forge]

yes, and no. yes, because it passed. no, because they have like 3 months to sell tiktok to a US corporation or conglomerate of some sort, or else it does get banned.

[dreamy thorn]

imagine having an operating system in your car

microcontrollers don't count

[full fossil]

what is ticktock

[tired glade]

That's short video app

[full fossil]

[neon mesa]

The spyware part is the least dangeours part of it

What makes it dangerous is
It's a cesspool for room temp IQ people, trying to one up each other for clout

The biggest danger are its users to each other

[eager notch]

Your CPU is old

[jagged dune]

People will do anything on there for their minute of fame and majority the time it's dangerous idiocy that can probably get you killed or arrested

[grand trellis]

Is that a second gen i7

[lapis solstice]

@neon mesa @jagged dune you two siblings?

[tired glade]

Sounds like red flag

[stoic beacon]

I would've considered it, until you said the "word" "finna"

[jagged dune]

Huh?

[dusty raptor]

wow i see how it is, its so basic but not

I'm finally putting this cpu out of its misery I'm getting a new one it should arrive on the 31st

[zinc oracle]

What did you upgrade to?

[full fossil]

R5 5500

[zinc oracle]

Nice

[neon mesa]

why not 5600

[full fossil]

money

[neon mesa]

how much is the difference

[full fossil]

I only get paid $300 a month

[neon mesa]

the difference between 5500 and 5600 is quite... big for their price difference

[jagged dune]

Fair enough, Still dumb ASF tho.. at least back up your statement and go down an idiot

[neon mesa]

the 5500 is closer to the older 3600

[full fossil]

r5 5500 is good enough, I also don't need an APU

[neon mesa]

the 5600 isn't an APU

[full fossil]

All I do is watch youtube and play cs2

[neon mesa]

still

if it's like 10 bucks difference, the performance difference is really much bigger

[full fossil]

stop asking me to get something that I dont want it's overkill.

[neon mesa]

"Here's something much better value for nearly same price"
"No i don't need it"

Almost like those people who bought 3060 8GB

"Get the 6600xt, it's same price and much better"
"No i don't need faster performance i only do ABC"
"But it's... the same price...?"

[tired glade]

5600 would be better,but 5500 will do the job, until you can upgrade to 5700x3d or full systems upgrade

[lapis solstice]

There's a 8gb 3060?

[neon mesa]

Yes

Same situation as 4080 12GB/16GB

The difference more than just the VRAM count

[tired glade]

Or multiple versions of 1060

[lapis solstice]

Huh, I always thought 6gb and 12gb for 3060 and 8gb for the ti

[neon mesa]

There is no desktop 6GB 3060

the 6GB variant is 3060 mobile

[lapis solstice]

Ahhh

Oh,grass already growing in your area

[jagged dune]

Hate the north

[tired glade]

It still will be some time until it goes in positives during night

[jagged dune]

It was alr going into the positives.. + like 70 in the day

This storm just randomly appeared out of damn nowhere and half my town has no power

[tired glade]

Snow storm cut power?

[jaunty compass]

i was about to bring that up as i was scrolling down lol

[jagged dune]

Yea...

It does that a lot

[jaunty compass]

I found a sketchy ass rx 5700 on newegg

[tired glade]

I don't remember when snow last time cut power

[jaunty compass]

2304...cuda cores

[zinc oracle]

Rx 5700 xt's are going for 140 on AliExpress

[jaunty compass]

on a 5700...

[zinc oracle]

Cuda cores

[tired glade]

5700 on 256 bus?

[jaunty compass]

it has 2 reviews, one of which is 5 star because of the value and the other is 2 star because they're a dumbass and bought it for a dell prebuilt that couldn't fit it

[zinc oracle]

Designed for energy efficiency

[tired glade]

5700 is 2304 cu

[jaunty compass]

that's the bus width for a 5700, yeah

[tired glade]

I guess, everything is cude cores now

[jaunty compass]

cu....da cores

[tired glade]

I think,it just auto filed to cuda cores

[jaunty compass]

it looks reputable enough but apparently they need to proof-read a bit more lmao

I'm sure it's a real gpu, actually a pretty good pricing too: if i wanted a 5700 i'd probably grab it

[tired glade]

Everything else looks in line

Don't forget to buy OS,lol

[full fossil]

[zinc oracle]

What's an equivalent to the arc a380

[full fossil]

rx 6500 xt

[hasty elk]

is getting 2 monitor stands better or getting 1 for double better?

[graceful burrow]

There is no objective better

[hot bobcat]

bro im pc part shopping and well i payed off my rent and phone bill and i have some cash left over and i wanna get a new power supply cus found out mine is failing slowly and i also wanna get a beefyier air cooler for my system i gotta get rid of that stock pos i have rn

[graceful burrow]

What cpu and gpu do you have

[hot bobcat]

i have the ryzen 5 5600 g and the radeon rx 7600 and the case i have is the qube 500 flat pack

[full fossil]

🤯

[hot bobcat]

the powersupply i have is a evga 500w from 5 years ago so its over due for a upgrade

[jaunty compass]

Debatably two single monitor stands would be better because it would allow for a higher degree of adjustment

[hot bobcat]

so far i have the msi mag 850gl 80 plus gold for my psu in the cart and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 for the air cooler im gonna go with

[graceful burrow]

Please do not buy that cooler

For the love of god

Buy a peerless assassin 120 se

[hot bobcat]

im guessing thats better

[graceful burrow]

The h212 cools like a 13 dollar cooler and coolermaster tends to sell it for like 40 bucks or more

[neon mesa]

Hyper 212, i haven't heard that name in a long while

[neon mesa]

It was good for its time
Though it's no longer its time

Heatsinks simply got really good

[hot bobcat]

i was going for the cheaper coolers since i have a 300$ budget

[gilded quest]

I prefer 2 single stands over a double stand

[graceful burrow]

That's so much for a cooler and psu

[neon mesa]

Also, the single tower assassin 120 would be better budget wise

[gilded quest]

2 single arms is more versatile

[neon mesa]

Stands not arms

[graceful burrow]

Rm850x psu and pa120se cooler
Ezpz

[gilded quest]

Meh
Same difference

[neon mesa]

No

[gilded quest]

Also get arms, not stands

[neon mesa]

Arms can be moved around like an... Arm.

[hot bobcat]

should i also get a few more fans for my case i only have 2 in there rn

[neon mesa]

Regular stands are rigid with vertical adjustment at best

[graceful burrow]

Wouldn't hurt

[hot bobcat]

dose that cooler come with fans ?

[paper sun]

hi

[gilded quest]

Anyways, arms that clamp to the desk or wall mount > stands

[jaunty compass]

Yes, and it's a really good cooler

I run one in my main rig

[neon mesa]

I have one white argb one

[graceful burrow]

I run one on my nas and my buddy runs one on his pc

[neon mesa]

In my main build cooling a 5700x3D

[graceful burrow]

The pa120se is the best bang for the buck cooler out there methinks

[neon mesa]

All that for 20 bucks, what a value

The single tower assassin x 120 one

[hot bobcat]

ok with the cooler and the psu my total cost so far is 196 so it should be ok if i got a ram kit and like 1 more fan

for the ram im thinking of getting the corsair vengance lpx 32gb kit its on sale rn

[neon mesa]

32GB seems overkill especially when you're on a tight budget

[graceful burrow]

Bottom barrel ram

[hot bobcat]

i have 16 in rn and thats not enough for me any more

[neon mesa]

At these price range 30 bucks can be a massive difference in the GPU sector

Could be from a 730 to an RX 580

[hot bobcat]

not 730 i have a 8gb 7600 in rn

my gpu situation is fine

[neon mesa]

I wonder how you fit a 7600 in a $300 build
Or do you already have it

[hot bobcat]

i have it already i got that a few months ago

i upgraded from a 1050 ti

[graceful burrow]

They aren't building they're just upgrading a few parts

Cooler psu ram

[jaunty compass]

I fit a 3060 in a $300 build lol

I think it's the stock colorway

[neon mesa]

I mean budget wise

[jaunty compass]

Either way It's the black one that I have because it was the default on Amazon and I think it was like $1 cheaper at the time or something and my glass side panel is so tinted you basically can't even see it at all when the side panel is actually on

Man that took so long to send

[jaunty compass]

Yes

[hot bobcat]

i got the gigabyte version of the 7600 though

[neon mesa]

That middle RGB fan seems like a waste

[muted tusk]

imagine not having gigabit upload

[jaunty compass]

I built this system for $300 and it has a 3060

[neon mesa]

I'd swap the middle cpu cooler fan with the rear case fan

[jaunty compass]

It came with the cooler

[hot bobcat]

ok with the ram added the sub total is 291 so that should be good

[amber ice]

How lol ?

[neon mesa]

Is that 3060 bending in half??

[jaunty compass]

$100 3060 on Facebook marketplace

[jaunty compass]

No msi just has a really stupid cooler design that's slanted

[amber ice]

Nice find and buy on the 3060, but the rest of the build was only 200 is nuts. Parts from another build or off hand add in's?

[jaunty compass]

if you think that's crazy you don't want to know about the rest of the parts

[jaunty compass]

i bought everything

there wasn't any cheating

i just got nuts deals for basically everything

[amber ice]

What harbor master do you have on pay roll lol

[jaunty compass]

i got a 5700g that was broken for $30 and repaired it
got a b550 edge motherboard for $60
got a case for $40 but it ended up being free since newegg sent the wrong one (but i'm still counting it in the price)
got the 3060 for 100
got the 1tb nvme ssd for $35
got 16 gigs of ddr4 ram for $10 because i know a guy who does liquidations
and the power supply was like $20 and so was the cooler

[neon mesa]

I mean i can see how the rest be cheap

The craziest deal there is the 3060

[hot bobcat]

man that feels good, got what i need and a little extra

[jaunty compass]

the craziest deal was the cpu lol

[neon mesa]

It's basically broken

[jaunty compass]

it's an 8 core ryzen chip for $30

[jaunty compass]

it was

[neon mesa]

So it's not crazy

Sold as broken

[jaunty compass]

The before and after

[hot bobcat]

fyi i dont like rgb that much i dont mind it on my keybord but thats about it

[jaunty compass]

the ram is 2133 jedec ram that i overclocked to 3200 cl18

[full fossil]

the bend looks so artificial yet so painful

Hey guys I need game recommendations pls I’m building a pc with a 4080 Super and Ryzen 7 7800X3D

[jaunty compass]

msi designed it like that

[full fossil]

oof

[jaunty compass]

i repaired it without breaking a single pin lol

none were snapped off but a ton were bent

[full fossil]

i know im aware
that's why i mentioned it appears artifical

[amber ice]

That bend hurts to see 😦

[neon mesa]

No more cheap bent pin cpu w/ AM5

[hot bobcat]

mw3, shadow of the tomb raider, forza motorsports, skyrim if ya want, cyber punk 2077

[jaunty compass]

mw3 is ass why would you recommend that

[hot bobcat]

its a good test for the gpu

[neon mesa]

Microsoft flight simulator

[full fossil]

The only Games I finished: GTA5, Sniper Elite 4, Last of us 1 and 2

Which title should I start with

[jaunty compass]

for $300 it's a pretty nuts rig

and because newegg sent me the wrong case it's actually only $260

luckily everything still fit so i still used it but they refunded me

and i used some little wooden puzzle piece things as a gpu support lol

[hollow scroll]

youtube sucks again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eYvgZeuxas

though ltt has helped in the past to try and sort this out

[peak silo]

hi

[jaunty compass]

did it ever stop sucking?

[hollow scroll]

true

[fallen rover]

So Nvidia released a new type of GPU architecture that is fundamentally different to other processing units. Does anyone know why it has a streak of white light inside it?

[jaunty compass]

that's a reflection

[graceful burrow]

is this a serious question i cant tell

[fallen rover]

It is. Here he's showing the new and the old

[graceful burrow]

dude
it's light reflection

[jaunty compass]

that's a reflection

[graceful burrow]

from the overhead stage lights

[mossy swan]

wait.. socketed gpu?

[graceful burrow]

no

[jaunty compass]

no

[mossy swan]

oh

[jaunty compass]

they're just not on a pcb yet

[fallen rover]

Oh okay I see it now, it moved from the closeup angle

[mossy swan]

10 years ago, Intel released Broadwell and now Invidia is released Blackwell

Named after statistician and mathematician David Blackwell, the Blackwell architecture was leaked in 2022 and B100 & B40 was officially revealed in October 2023 in an official Nvidia roadmap in an official Nvidia investor presentation for investors[1] and was officially announced at Nvidia GTC 2024 keynote on March 18, 2024.[2]

It's named after an American

Would be cool if Nvidia named their next one after Linus

The Gabriel Architecture
The Sebastian Architecture
The Tips Architecture

Which one do you guys think fits the best if they named the next Nvidia GPU after Linus Tech Tips?

[hot tartan]

?

[fallen rover]

Nvidia named their latest architecture Blackwell after an American smart person named David Blackwell. I was thinking maybe Nvidia should name their next architecture after LTT or the guy who made LTT

[hot tartan]

Why

[fallen rover]

He deserves it

[spice pine]

… not really lmao

[hot tartan]

Dude has enough recognition
