I’m sorry for your loss of tech o7

[pure knoll]

Linux

Linux*

[warm horizon]

at least i have a pixel 6 now instead of a pixel 4

[north wraith]

Good point. So some distro have it as the default from the get go?

[pure knoll]

Z flip W

[north escarp]

[pure knoll]

A lot of Ubuntu based do yeah

Anything that doesn't have gnome browser tends to use firefox

[north wraith]

👍 I need to do more Linux work

I’ve done a bit for some network and cyber sec courses so I kinda of know a bit but still very green

[full fossil]

i hate these r730xd's it just refuses to install any os from usb or idrac

[warm horizon]

the screen was artifacting so i figured it was gonna die soon, i dropped it today and i guess that was it

[north wraith]

Oh well at least you had some warning still I feel for yah

[warm horizon]

the biggest loss is that i lost some photos i didnt back up and some contacts that im not sure i can recover

hopefully it works out

might get a usb c dock to try and access my stuff in the future

[north wraith]

Somewhat related I’m super not looking forward to my car inspection when I’m sure they will tell me I need to make some $600 repair or whatever

how long until semiconductor fabs start figuring out ways to lay down fiber optics into thier design

[ionic abyss]

wonder what evil thing microsoft will do next

[lilac bear]

does autism really grant people some sort of superpower at being smart or is that just a movie/show trope

[gleaming harbor]

after windows 10 is eol, it will 5.99 a month to keep using it, whatever pro or any edition at all

[vocal raptor]

What if it’s not activated?

[lilac bear]

not exactly new
I think Windows 7 received security updates, but you needed to pay for them

[ionic abyss]

eeek

your at microsofts mercy if your not using a registered version of windohs

[broken folio]

Only if you were a business customer. The same applied for XP previously. For 10 it is the first time consumers have been given the option.

[ionic abyss]

who knows what they might do to you

they might protect your choice of browser from you!!

[vocal raptor]

I’m using un activated windows 11 and I just can’t change wallpaper and gave the watermark

[lilac bear]

ah thats what occurred

[silent lichen]

i got my acc back

[ionic abyss]

win11 is cheap

[strange elk]

Funny thing, put an image on your desktop and right click it

[silent lichen]

i dont need to use my other again

[ionic abyss]

$20 on woot

[lilac bear]

Microsoft literally got sued for that in the early 2000s or so

sometimes I wonder how old I am when people actually enjoy Windows 10 the best

[ionic abyss]

well i hear they are protecting user choice right now by preventing users from changing default browsers

[strange elk]

I can't use windows as a daily driver anymore

[lilac bear]

like people really out here defending Windows 10... of all things

[strange elk]

Legit I had too many issues and am having less on linux, not to mention more functionality

[ionic abyss]

linux has improved greatly but its not a daily os just yet

[full fossil]

odd why is the product key a bunch of x's

[vapid smelt]

android is linux and people daily it

[strange elk]

Obfuscation

[ionic abyss]

that not quite the same thing

[lilac bear]

technically students do if you count chromebookz

[strange elk]

Nah. ChromeOS is.. Close.. But its not linux

[full fossil]

o ok

[ionic abyss]

chromebooks aint computers

they are ewaste

[strange elk]

Eh. They have their purpose obviously

[lilac bear]

figures using an answer you guys threw at me before would backfire

"erm achually chromeos is linux based"

shut the fuck up

[strange elk]

LMAO someone's salty

It literally doesn't run the same as a normal linux distro

I wouldn't really call Android linux anymore

[broken folio]

ChromeOS effectively is a kiosk on top of a Linux base. Android is a kiosk on top of a Linux kernel.

[strange elk]

But no, I wouldn't say its for everyone. But for me? I have a completely separate drive for windows 10 should I need it for VR or whatever

[verbal arrow]

Dewd someone form this server just dmed me for like 4 hours helping me build my pc and it works

[lilac bear]

rare ltt server w

[lilac bear]

also this

[ionic abyss]

in truth win11 and 10 have some linux dna in them

[lilac bear]

at that point MacOS is Linux because of some code from 1999

[strange elk]

Yeah because it was slapped in near the end lmao

[broken folio]

They have a whole VM system for running Linux within windows

[strange elk]

They removed WSA because nobody used it because.. Surprise surprise the amazon app store is worthless

[hard oriole]

im worried my workplace will just pay for the win 10 security updates instead of just buy 30 new laptops lol
most of our machines already support win11 its just those last few

[strange elk]

I'd rather 10/11 honestly..

Unless performance is the issue lol

[hard oriole]

we have an order to replace 40 of our rental machines but the machines in the warehouse is my concern
and its the cost of the security updates im concerned about
these machines already need to be replaced

its a waste to pay for updates and still have to replace them in 3 years

[strange elk]

True enough

[lilac bear]

I mean the amount of money and work verses just paying to keep it as is

[hard oriole]

i already reimage like 40-100 laptops a week a few more is nbd as long as we plan for it

[strange elk]

I assume with this scale they've got cloning available

[lilac bear]

oh lmao

[hard oriole]

we do rentals

i just dont want to be rushing to get staffs computers reimagied

or otherwise
still need to run it up the chain now that we know what updates cost

[proper plinth]

I don't get the win 10 craze that much since I grew up with win 7

[hard oriole]

i updated to win 11 p early and havent had much issue

[strange elk]

Idk if it was a craze as much as a forcible push off the older platform..

[proven mauve]

Keychron really likes there lube 😡😡😡

[hard oriole]

win 11 just wont boot on older platforms at some point

[strange elk]

No I know

[ionic abyss]

@hard oriole shhh you will give microsoft ideas!

[strange elk]

I meant the push from 7 to 10. Id have used 7 starting off if Ryzen was supported probably even if that did bite me in the ass in year 2

[hard oriole]

didnt need to

[proper plinth]

windows would have a huge loss if they shut down win 10 rn

[turbid warren]

Theoretically titanfall 2 could have code from the original doom in it. Because the quake engine was built with technology from doom, then gold src uses code from the quake engine, and source (wich titanfall 2 runs on) uses code from gold src

[hard oriole]

not like they will stop people using their computer
many even still run win 7 lol

[proper plinth]

win 7 had a nostalgic feel

[hard oriole]

3% of market share still is win 7

[strange elk]

Titanfall 2 is half life 3 confirmed??!?!?

[ionic abyss]

sure

[strange elk]

It was more so that it just.. Worked.

[turbid warren]

Cs 2 is titanfall 3???

[strange elk]

And everything was clear, even to stupid 8 year old me

[hard oriole]

windows 11 aint bad imo

its ui is clunky but

[ionic abyss]

half life 3 is in the works

[turbid warren]

It works i just dont like the taskbar or start menu

[ionic abyss]

lol i will be ready when its ready

[turbid warren]

Feels like a win 8 kinda situation

[strange elk]

Dude ive had so many issues on 11 its not even funny. I'm glad y'all are having good experiences but holy shit that was the most unstable piece of garbage Ive ever used

[hard oriole]

yeah but for taskbar windows gives me the options i need to get it how i want and for start you can install applications to fine tune it

i do though miss the win 7 search

[ionic abyss]

valve will release half life 3 when they get tired of collecting money

[hard oriole]

do NOT bring web results into my start button menu

GO TO HELL WITH THAT

[strange elk]

Openshell kinda makes it a little nicer. It was either that or startallback.

[proper plinth]

yeah those stupid edge web results

[strange elk]

I hated the web results too so I just.. Didn't get them.

[hard oriole]

I can no longer hit start and start typing and know what im gonna get and im mad

[strange elk]

Honestly a lot of my issues might've had to do with SOME of the tweaking I did.. But it has no right to be so bad for me to want to tweak it that much.

[ionic abyss]

bed time for me

[graceful burrow]

Not far back enough
Could have code from Hovertank 3D

[hard oriole]

i want workspaces to work as well on windows as in mac os

Half life alyx has quake code verifiably, with the light flickering

[fierce moth]

Use Linux if you care enough

[turbid warren]

I feel like people joking about linux being difficult really pushed people away from using even the easier distros

I was installing mint on an old mac pro and it feels super farmilliar to windows in a lot of aspects

[strange elk]

I try to tell people there is a learning curve, but ultimately its not too difficult

Also try to push Linux Mint

[fierce moth]

Literally pop os

Pop os is really good tbh

[strange elk]

Linus as he uninstalls the entire DE

[fierce moth]

Yeah that's both due to a bug and user fault

[strange elk]

I did install PopOS to a friends laptop and they havent really had issue so there is that

[turbid warren]

Hows pop vs mint

[fierce moth]

I don't really use those distros, I use arch btw (sorry had too)

[turbid warren]

I have an older windows laptop I mainly use for writing arduino code and im trying to decide if i should put linux on it

[strange elk]

*although I personally havent used PopOS really..

[graceful burrow]

I dual boot kubuntu

[fierce moth]

But I've heard good things about them

[graceful burrow]

With windows

[turbid warren]

Im thinking mint but not sure

[strange elk]

Good use case honestly

Mint would feel similar for sure

[graceful burrow]

Kubuntu feels similar as well

[strange elk]

More customizable that is (out of the box)

[fierce moth]

I love kde plasma

Such a good DE

[turbid warren]

Is it just a lighter ubuntu ?

[graceful burrow]

It's just Ubuntu with KDE plasma lmao

[fierce moth]

It's a Ubuntu with kde plasma

[strange elk]

I dont really.. want to push snap and opt out telemetry to people though, I dont like what Canonical has been doing. Mint forks ubuntu while removing that stuff

[fierce moth]

Fuck quicker than me

But I'm on my phone

[graceful burrow]

Don't leak private info

[graceful burrow]

[strange elk]

LMDE is a WIP im kinda excited for

[fierce moth]

I use amoled black everything on my phone

[strange elk]

Could do amoled but.. just looks better that way

[fierce moth]

Cause better battery

[strange elk]

meh

[nova ingot]

Oh good new video dropped

[indigo atlas]

Yay..

[fierce moth]

Time traveler confirmed

[gentle slate]

I'm picking between a tiling wm or kde

[strange elk]

Me finding out I cant block ads on my Roku TV, nor can I cast to it from my pixe, but from iOS it works just fine

[fierce moth]

Kde is much simpler to use

[gentle slate]

Actually I might do tiling on my laptop coz the TouchPad is tiny.

[nova ingot]

I love how the default Roku behavior tries to trick you into installing apps rather than resuming the video you were watching

Soon it will default to charging your credit card and make it optional to reverse them within 72 hours

[gentle slate]

I just wanna avoid feeling like I'm using windows. I want it to be novel

[strange elk]

Hey, if they wanna get into tiling let em, its valid.

[runic cobalt]

sells you product, still shows you ads

[fierce moth]

It's your choice

[strange elk]

Im glad I never paid for any roku products.

[fierce moth]

That's the freedom of Linux

[gentle slate]

Maybe I'll go super minimal with terminal file explorer, minimal image viewer

[nova ingot]

As a customer, you have a duty to the shareholders of the company to make it profitable. So shut up and pay we only exist to endure the profitability of the shareholders.

[runic cobalt]

ill swallow ads if a product or service is free, gulp it down but once i pay full dollar and it's crapping ads all over my home page it's going back to the rma center

[gentle slate]

What was it.. Nnn

N^3

There was some triple letter file explorer

[nova ingot]

I disabled the on screen ads but it just keeps on bringing it back. It’s fine if it’s a screensaver but it’s scummy AF that it’s the PLAY button

[strange elk]

As a product, your duty is to view the products that the product that you rented from us shows you

[runic cobalt]

like i can only understand the super cheapy android phones that might be sold at a loss for big bloatware and ad contract moolah

[gentle slate]

We have a roku device.

Grandmama uses it for TV over ethernet.

[strange elk]

I hope Roku goes under.

[runic cobalt]

like some entry even mid range smart TVs have ads like wtf lmao

[gentle slate]

I don't like it. The whole TV over ethernet makes it complicated enough that my isp doesn't allow me in the router.

[strange elk]

HIGH end ones do

Also the telemetry is opt out and buried (and likely still reports anyway)

Smart TVs are kindof a plague tbh.

[nova ingot]

A senior I was assisting started complaining that her Roku was now slow and took forever to start Netflix. What really happened is that she ALWAYS hit the pause play button when screensaver, leading it to install EVERY app that was on the ticker, so she had 50 apps that she didn’t need, and since Roku uninstalls apps when full, ever time she used Netflix or YouTube it took an extra 30-40 seconds to reinstall each app for each use.

[strange elk]

We need media centres again

[turbid warren]

Bro how am i suposed to play minecraft story mode on netflix then?!?

[gentle slate]

I don't understand why people watch TV ngl.

[strange elk]

You dont, you be a chad and get a physical copy

[gentle slate]

I just use my pc.

[nova ingot]

Sometimes I feel like going “fine ship up and take my money and leave me alone” but that will only encourage them to double down

[strange elk]

Or take advantage of archival efforts

[gentle slate]

Id sooner stick a media pc with a nice big screen than get a TV tv

[exotic delta]

hi!

[nova ingot]

A TV is just a monitor with speakers
And errr. A monitor sometimes have speakers….

[runic cobalt]

cheaper high end tv + smart add on > smart tv

[gentle slate]

Ye but people also get those weird ad plagued TV plans and shit.

[strange elk]

High end display with no internet connectivity + local hosted media server > streaming/smart tv/ whatever

[gentle slate]

30 minutes of movie, 15 minute ad break. Repeat 4 times.

[nova ingot]

What’s the point of TVs. They’re not touch screens and you can’t use them to hit the like and subscribe buttons /s

[strange elk]

I got 4 ads on a 10 min ltt video.

No thanks.

[strange elk]

They dont work on Roku is my point

Let's go, got replacement rift s controllers for free

[graceful burrow]

Don't buy a roku then

[strange elk]

I got my pihole

[nova ingot]

TVs are nice for local programming and just having something on in the background. That being said I don’t really use it.
Then again it’s too easy to fall into an algorithmic hellhole where watching one video will result in endless political content and nonsense ads

[gentle slate]

Id show grandmama how to utilize the glorious internet but she don't wanna. She wants old fashioned TV.

[turbid warren]

[strange elk]

Why lmao

[turbid warren]

"Most games are pretty simple. You jump on enemies, you die, you have to insert another quarter to continue. The Last of Us changed that”

Unless there’s a competitive esports aspect, it’s not considered a “real game”

[gentle slate]

Itll be over before you know it. Well.. with arch maybe not but..

Ah right

Oh. One way to feel old is printing out that a full size keyboard is actually useful has a “gaming keyboard” because plot twist. Some games uses function keys and home and page down and up.

Kid has always used a compact keyboard because that’s all he needed for his esports. Then the one time I needed to get into BIOS I couldn’t find the damn key to do so on boot.
He always thought full size was for work and compact was for gaming

all my half sisters are older than me. And I dont know them at ALL

[hard oriole]

all mine are less than half my age

gonna be a minute before we can have a real conversation loll

[strange elk]

Mine are only like 4 or 5 years older I think? If that even? I wouldnt know for sure

[gentle slate]

Ohh ffs I didnt consider how certain mod tools will work on Linux.

[hard oriole]

i expect mine are prob like 10-12 y/o now

[gentle slate]

I'll have to get very familiar with wine.

[strange elk]

Honestly about the same for most I would expect

[hard oriole]

maybe like 14 for the oldest

[strange elk]

Honestly about the range I figured funnily enough.

What tool are you most worried about? I can probably test it

Not that our systems are going to be the same, but Im sort of curious too

[gentle slate]

They're ffxiv related.

Anamnesis, cm tools, textools

[strange elk]

Oo thats one of the few I dont have

[gentle slate]

Some of those have to hook into the game.

[strange elk]

[gentle slate]

And apparently under wine they can't do that.

[strange elk]

Proton?

[graceful burrow]

Proton is wine

[grim belfry]

lol

[strange elk]

Im aware, just wondering if that changed anything

[graceful burrow]

Nop

[strange elk]

[gentle slate]

Well back to having software incompatibilities with Linux.

[graceful burrow]

Shoutouts proton in general tho that shit works honestly way better than it has any right to

[strange elk]

its.. gotten so much better these past couple years.

Some games run better through proton on Linux than they do on windows natively lmao

Also on proton than linux natively in too many cases XD

Is the funny machine the teensy car or bike

[dreamy thorn]

The teensy car, but the blue one

Oh that one's ugly

[dreamy thorn]

U wot

[graceful burrow]

Teensy red >

That one seems much more fun

[grim belfry]

i concur

[dreamy thorn]

It's perfection

Uses less fuel than the smart too lol

[graceful burrow]

Why is it at a mechanic then lmao

[dreamy thorn]

Well it is 24 years old

[graceful burrow]

Mike's from 91 and isn't at a mechanic

[dreamy thorn]

Age gets even the most reliable machines

It's just a handbrake cable that needs to be replaced

[idle nymph]

nah those be flipping over the moment you drive slightly faster than 40km in a turn

[vapid smelt]

can you not replace that yourself?

[turbid warren]

[graceful burrow]

That's the fun part

[dreamy thorn]

I could try, but the problem is due to the rear engine configuration it's a bitch to do without a lift

[idle nymph]

first time youll have to counter steer while in a car lmao

[dreamy thorn]

Nah, the smart can definitely be made fast, the twingo MK3 is based on it and it's fast s fuck

[gentle slate]

Lift with hands.

[dreamy thorn]

The smart is rear engined and rwd so it's definitely a bitch

what's the english term for small single family plantations that are non-commercial?

here we call them "huertos" but idk what it's called in english

[graceful burrow]

"small farm"

[dreamy thorn]

hmm but it doesn't have any livestock 🤔

[dreamy thorn]

yeah yeah i know, i'm just a bit lazy lol

[graceful burrow]

Farm is a fairly catch-all term here for animals and plants

I am in USA

not a simulation ?

[graceful burrow]

I wish

[verbal briar]

How long does it usally take Ltt to ship a rather large order

[tough vortex]

hi gays

[dreamy thorn]

plus eu is looking into restricting right to repair on classic cars, so maybe i won't need it anymore lol

[tough vortex]

anyone know about chromebooks

[verbal briar]

Thats anti environment...

[tough vortex]

[dreamy thorn]

it's currently a draft and doesn't seem to target all vehicles rn, but knowing the EU they'll eventually go after them

[idle nymph]

i mean, i can understand the thought process, as old cars pollute a shitlot, sound like a shitty idea tho

[gentle slate]

Ok so basically half the ffxiv tools I use don't work on Linux.

[graceful burrow]

It b like this

[dreamy thorn]

nah, the idea they pollute a shitlot isn't inherent to their age

[tough vortex]

anyone know how to emulate x86-64 arch binaries on aarch64

[gentle slate]

I feel like I'm not an average gamer

Coz otherwise Linux would work fine for gaming.

[verbal briar]

Me and my friends did the math, my truck is more environmentally friendly than if i drove an ev in my area since our power is from coal and i drive alot, i have 684k miles or 1100791 km on my truck.

[idle nymph]

most old car do pollute more than new cars

i dont think its a good idea tho

[dreamy thorn]

not necessarily, most old vehicles (at least in europe) are super lightweight, so they actually pollute less than you'd think

[hard oriole]

not if you can limp it along for 60 years

[grim belfry]

hobby farm!

[verbal briar]

Yes but also older cars get driven less, since usally its someone who collects them like ne

[dreamy thorn]

hell a Renault Supercinco gets 128 g of co2 per km, that's pretty good

[idle nymph]

using a car that long is crazy

[dreamy thorn]

an 89 polo gets 170 without a catalytic converter

[hard oriole]

like linus id keep my "lambo" as long as possible

[verbal briar]

How can you say a older cars pollute more than new when i only drive them 100 miles a year

[hard oriole]

kinda yeah lol

but some have been known to keep a car largely in the garage for a good 40 years

[vapid smelt]

but new cars take allot of recourses to make

[hard oriole]

not impossible

[idle nymph]

old car release more pollution than a new car doing the same kilometer

now obviously if you dont drive them a lot

[dreamy thorn]

again, not inherently true, specially since modern cars are all SUVs vs old lightweight cars, specifically in europe

[idle nymph]

true in most cases (fuck SUVs tho)

[verbal briar]

Yes but like most people, who collect classic cars dont daily drive them, they arnt driven as much as modern cars

[indigo atlas]

Cheese

[full fossil]

Still can't get over the fact that this has now got 5TB of storage and a 90wh battery and it still weighs less than Legion Go 😂

[verbal briar]

I go the junkyard alot to scrounge for parts

[dreamy thorn]

yeah suvs are dumb, we have made strides in engine efficiency (although I think we are chasing marginal gains at the expense of heavy complexity), all that blown away because of an obsession with big cars

I daily drive mine, i just like it, it's simple

[idle nymph]

obviously if you dont drive them a lot theyll pollute less than a modern car you drive a lot

praying that they start putting regulations against SUVs

[verbal briar]

Not really an obsession i need a way to bypass anti pollution laws since they qualify as trucks, which are held to a lower standard, but i need a larger vehicle im tall lol

[dreamy thorn]

nah its definitely a fad, SUVs aren't considered trucks in the EU and yet they are popular

[verbal briar]

In America they are to bypass emissions

[dreamy thorn]

my cars have all been old and i'd like to keep them forever

yeah ik

[idle nymph]

i can understand the use of trucks for some people, but SUVs ? geniunly shit, they somehow manage to make the car big as fuck and waste all that space for nothing

[dreamy thorn]

hell my car in terms of emissions harmful to human health is roughly around euro 6 spec, despite being an euro 3 motor legally

[grim belfry]

ive also heard people in the us get some tax concession for buying a car over a certain size?

[dreamy thorn]

it's basically a backwards toyota corolla :3

[idle nymph]

some SUV have less space than a car smaller than it

[dreamy thorn]

yeah it's dumb as fuck

[idle nymph]

so yeah fuck SUVs

[dreamy thorn]

bring back station wagons

[idle nymph]

worthless cars, fucking useless

[verbal briar]

I drive a truck from 2008 quad cab basically an suv with a bed, i need the bed and i have back issues so i appreciate how much higher it is

[idle nymph]

suvs have no reason to exist

[grim belfry]

soccer mums?

duh

[idle nymph]

thats a truck, SUVs are basically city car but bigger

[vapid smelt]

everyone over estimate what their suv can fit

[idle nymph]

listen if you can fit 5 people in a 308 you dont need a SUVs

[dreamy thorn]

regulations heavily reward more efficient motors even if the whole package is heavy as fuck

so i guess that's one of the reasons

[idle nymph]

even then there is way better options than a shitty suv

like a berlingot

[dreamy thorn]

it's a miracle that mazda is still able to make a sub ton car in 2024

@idle nymph ||soccer||

[vapid smelt]

becaue they count as a truck for epa shit

[verbal briar]

I only know 3 people that actually need suvs

[grim belfry]

i say otherwise. lol

[verbal briar]

The rest are dumb

[dreamy thorn]

yeah but they are still popular in places where they don't bypass any regulations

like in the EU, it's a fad just like superminis were in the late 90s

[vapid smelt]

people come to my work trying to put 75inch tvs and dressers in thier suvs

this is better than a suv because it actually use the size for something

this is a 40 year old van btw

[dreamy thorn]

and it still works well

[verbal briar]

I got 3 friends that live down a muddy road, each with a family of 6, thats why they own an suv and thats a perfectly good reason to own a suv

awd seadans are a thing

also AWD is overrated, tires is what matters

FWD cars can do just fine in mud, so can RWD ones

[verbal briar]

But can you fit 4 kids in carseats in the backseat, also their road floods

[idle nymph]

C15, truly a goated car

[verbal briar]

Perfect use case for an suv, but someone who lives in the city doesnt need an suv

[dreamy thorn]

here's a car used for bread in current year in my galician town

older than a c15 🐸

[idle nymph]

Am I tripping or is that the front of some kind of 2cv

[dreamy thorn]

the amount of based and kino

[dreamy thorn]

its either a 2cv or a related vehicle, citroen made a shit ton of them on the same platform

a surprising amount of them are still kicking

[idle nymph]

My car drive a berlingot and it's low-key goated

[verbal briar]

I mean wouldnthis be a sedan or... a truck

[dreamy thorn]

the c15 is actually super fun to drive, feels a lot like a 2cv

it has a bigger lack of power than my own lack of social skills but it still feels good to drive

the corolla engine is fine and all but it has a tendency to burn oil

damn... i just checked the price of an E-bike, and its around 3500$.

why is that so expensive ? its just a bike with an accumulator in it...
its not even a Electric motorbike, just a simple E-bike.

[shut lichen]

I guess you've not seen the price of good bikes.
Now add a motor assembly, batteries, all the other electronics, extra design work on the frame to fit it all together nicely, bam. $3500 dollar bike

[meager shell]

yeah, the engineering and the design maybe the main reason why its in that prize...
but it still wild

[eternal hearth]

there are cheaper ones...

[meager shell]

in what price range ?

[eternal hearth]

You can get a decent one under 2k at least in europe. Better obviously costs more but if you do your research you know which one to buy

[meager shell]

i personally primarily care about the looks, and secondary is the performance.

btw, that's the site i used: (that's my local shop)
https://www.bringaboard.hu/kerekpar/e-bike-kerekparok

[shut lichen]

I guess you just don't understand the cost involved lol
Higher component cost also means they need to profit more, so they can afford to warranty stuff if ever needed

[eternal hearth]

Bikes are highly customizable if you want to go that route

[meager shell]

absolutely. 🙂
my dream bike would be a little led interface in the steering wheel, and some rgb, strapped in the side of the bike...
but for starters, i just want to get an electric bike, and see what can i do about it...

Hello

I am looking at getting a new monitor as my current on is on the way out
I currently have on of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PFJH2YX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But Im not sure what I want to go to next
Do i go for a 1080p with 240/360hz
Or is it better to all out and go for like the 240hz qd-oled from alienware
Or is there a good middle ground? Like a 1440p with 240hz?

My specs are ryzen 7 5800x with 3070

any recommendations?

I am also from the UK

[lament shore]

27 inch 1440p is a must

(at least)

[rough crown]

True, just upgraded from 24" 1080p

[lament shore]

what is your budget?

[crimson kiln]

Hello. I'm not an expert, but you won't be hitting a refresh rate of 240fps at 1440P using a 3070. My old system had the same CPU/GPU combo you have and I comfortably sat around 120-140fps in a lot of games on high settings using a 32inch 1440P monitor at 165hz.

[lament shore]

1440p 27 inch 144hz or sometimes 165hz is dirt cheap

[rough crown]

$170 USD from Newegg a few weeks ago for me

[lament shore]

you can get something like that with an IPS panel and 350 or 400 nits for like 250€ here

does anyone have a list of monitors with the 27 inch 1440p 360hz third gen qd OLED panels?

(not related to the question/ansers earlier, a friend of mine wants one)

uh did I type this wrong or is the labs help email not working?

hi

[austere shale]

It’s so nice having a sales rep I can go to and just be like “I need a bearing that can do all of these things, find me a good one” and they handle it

And now I’m getting bearings from some company in Switzerland that specializes in high speed, high temperature, stainless bearings

[harsh quartz]

Google is a great invention, YouTube too

[austere shale]

Because the bearings I have now somebody thought it was a good idea to get ones that have nylon cages. Which is horrible because when the seals on the unit go out they get wet, the nylon swells and everybody has a bad time

[tired glade]

Search engine of Google?

[strange elk]

Google is banned

Its a shame its a dependency for so much

Including WiFi functionality of pixel phones evidently

[tired glade]

There are few counties where Google services are banned

[strange elk]

Not mine, in fact most people use it. I just dont like them.

[hearty spear]

That seems like a stupid way to try to computer

[tired glade]

A lot of countries don't like Google services

[hearty spear]

A fairly significant portion of the internet is either google directly, or runs because of google services.

[hearty spear]

"A lot"
seems like a bit of a stretch. Even china uses some google services.

[strange elk]

Well its a good thing you dont need to use it

[tired glade]

You know, there are more Google maps information about North Korea then about South Korea

Even tho Bing have better map then Google maps

[hearty spear]

doubt:

[tired glade]

Click on street view and check

[strange elk]

I35 goes all the way to south Korea? Wild

[tired glade]

Or Google finally paid taxes,like with Monaco

[hearty spear]

cuz street view is the way you judge data?

[tired glade]

Is Google maps also fixed in Germany?

[tired glade]

It is one factor,yes

[hearty spear]

cuz most people use google maps for.... y'know... maps?

And street view has very very little influence on that

[tired glade]

Sure

[hearty spear]

when I wanna find a greasy spoon that's open at 1AM, I don't need street view for that.

do you know how a fan curve works?

[verbal arrow]

Nope

Was a laptop used build last night

[eager notch]

It makes your fans not straight?

[hearty spear]

if you're dedicated they can be straight, but it's a weird fan curve to do so

[graceful burrow]

Based tbh

[hearty spear]

well, fan curves set fan speed to a Percentage of the fan's top speed when they're at certain temps

[verbal arrow]

Oh

Where in bios is that

[hearty spear]

so you can play with the speed / temps and see what you like for noise / cooling.

I usually put the fans to 100% around 75-80c CPU temps, give or take

[strange elk]

I guess thats a w for Intel users

[verbal arrow]

There are no rpm on this graph

[hearty spear]

it's probably in percentages

[verbal arrow]

Yeah

[hearty spear]

not intel's fault AMD royally fucked up their IHS on AM5 series chips

cuz AMD /royally/ fucked up the IHS on AM5 chips

[strange elk]

What's that got to do with Intel chips breaking after a few months

[verbal arrow]

I have a am5 is that bad?

[strange elk]

Its got growing pains

[hearty spear]

no, they just tend to run very warm, due to some bad design decisions.

They're now designed to run at 90-95c at full performance

[strange elk]

But its not bad per se

[hearty spear]

That's not really a thing. people have been running LGA1700 for years and it's been fine

[strange elk]

Check latest techlinked

[tired glade]

That thing was normal for server chips, AMD ported it to consume platform and hadn't tell anyone

That's why it made news

[full fossil]

these temps alright for idle?

All I got on is youtube

[tired glade]

What your room temperature?

[hearty spear]

idle doesn't matter, since idle is never really idle.

Test under an actual load.

[full fossil]

15-20c

[tired glade]

Yes, normal

[full fossil]

under load it's 65c

[tired glade]

Now load CPU

And make screenshot

[hearty spear]

is that like a cinebench R24 load after 5-10 minutes?

[full fossil]

nah I was playing fallout NV and gunfire reborn all night

got to 65c

[hearty spear]

gaming will not be a 100% load normally

[strange elk]

I wouldn't call that under load lol

[full fossil]

o ok so it's never really gonna be under load?

[hearty spear]

that depends what you do on the computer

[strange elk]

I wouldn't say that

[hearty spear]

under gaming: generally not tho

[strange elk]

Stuff like Cinebench and OCCT will really stress it

Which is good for testing.

[hearty spear]

For example, I can play FF14 and my CPU is at 20% util when running?
Gaming is not going to stress most CPUs

[hearty spear]

ahhh, well, anyone running CPUs with the power limits unlocked should realize they're going to shorten their chip's lifespans.

Feeding 300+ Watts into it is a LOT of power

(Although it's also on intel for letting people go that high, it's a dumb idea)

[tired glade]

People, what game of the year in 2023?

[gilded quest]

Minesweeper

[tired glade]

That's cheating

[graceful burrow]

Baldurs 3

[tired glade]

Oh right

[gentle slate]

breh ricing linux feels surprisingly hard

without succumbing to KDEing everything

[gilded quest]

I'm tempted to put Linux back on my secondary desktop

Ubuntu 24.04 lts should be out soon

I guess I could install the pre- release

[proper plinth]

guys I just assembled my new pc

it's a ryzen 9 14900k
and an amd rtx 3060
with 400 pb of ddr6 ram
is the build good?

[gentle slate]

no

[tired glade]

Soon,Intel will make zen chiplets,soon

Motherboard's killer e2400 ethernet point showing a caution symbol and no Internet via the same

Any help appreciated

[gilded quest]

Intel manufacturing for AMD is the dream

[tired glade]

Some CEO even wants it already

[gilded stratus]

You mean like how Samsung manufactures for apple?

[gilded quest]

How is that a dream

That's a nightmare

[gilded stratus]

Apples screens are made by samsung

[gilded quest]

I meant for silicon

[tired glade]

Intel slowly moving to manufacturing company,not just chip seller

[gilded stratus]

Oh the fair

[gilded stratus]

Good for them tbh

[gilded quest]

Apple once dual sourced a chip on TSMC and Samsung and people were returning the Samsung fabbed iPhones to try and get TSMC units

[tired glade]

So, possibility of AMD CPU on Intel fab is even viable

[gilded quest]

I think it was iPhone 6s

[tired glade]

Apple still using Samsung memory on some of it devices

[gilded quest]

Yep. Apple a9 on the iPhone 6s. 16nm TSMC outperformed 14nm Samsung lol

[tired glade]

Samsung still struggling in that department

[kindred bison]

I have a question about computer telephones
do they make devices I can set my phone on that will charge them wirelessly and also act like a stand that also connects to my computer for a data connection and if so what is it called because this is google keyword hell

[graceful burrow]

Didn't Nvidia use Samsung for ampere

[gilded quest]

Yes Samsung was cheap

[graceful burrow]

They swap back to tsmc for 40?

[harsh quartz]

No, the small indie company of the same name

[unkempt bluff]

Yo how many tweaks are enough for one to give up on a specific rig?

[graceful burrow]

Depends what what you could mean by tweaks

[glacial tangle]

with samsung display

[hearty spear]

you can tweak a computer for years after setting it up

[unkempt bluff]

lately been facing ram leaks, issues with ethernet drivers and much more similar issues on a high end 2016 build

no upgrades in its life tho

[hearty spear]

when was the last time you reinstalled windows from scratch?

[unkempt bluff]

about 3 months back max

single time i had to do that though

[kindred bison]

ah yes newegg thanks
"finish off your new pc build with this refurbished dyson cordless vacuum cleaner"

[full fossil]

hi

[hearty spear]

are you using windows update drivers, or did you download from the mobo site?

[unkempt bluff]

mate, did both and didnt work. then found out lenovo uses same ethernet controller and they had drivers for this - flashed that and its working

[spice wing]

[graceful burrow]

[tired glade]

Smartie?

[graceful burrow]

In the picture they posted last night of their car, there was a smart car in the foreground
And I poked fun at them saying the smart car looked more fun

[dreamy thorn]

Tbh brake pads needed replacing as well, might as well do it now

Hey I just found a really old macbook in my mom's basement and its useless to me but I don't know if it would be cool to send it to Linus? It's a 2004 iBook G4. Anyone have any input?

Doesn't matter if it takes time we have channels for a reason hoss

You aren't owed help lol

[coarse oracle]

^this

genuine question btw, whats the bread roll role? server inside joke or a comemoration?

[jaunty compass]

Finally managed to sell that PC I listed on Facebook marketplace

Something I really like is that all of the people I end up meeting to sell computer parts to are really chill and I end up talking to them about computers for like 20-30 minutes

[coarse oracle]

havent used facebook marketplace but our equivilant to craigslist is absolute garbage here in germany, either scammers or lowballing assholes

less hassle to cut your losses and just let it rot in your home

[jaunty compass]

A lot of the people are low balling pricks but the people I always end up selling to are usually ones who offered at or near asking and are pretty chill

[graceful burrow]

It's a long story
In short when there was a lot of drama surrounding ltt about their inaccuracies and the Madison stuff right after the chat was full of inflammatory and severely misogynistic comments, so some users started posting about bread, flooding the chat with bread memes and pictures
The mods saw it was working and just embraced it

[jaunty compass]

Because if you lowball me and are rude I won't sell to you

[graceful burrow]

Eventually they made the bread role available for a limited time

[coarse oracle]

ahh thanks! heard about the maddison situation but nothing more than the initial accusations

[coarse oracle]

yeah have yet to have that happen

[jaunty compass]

It took like a week but I was able to find someone who offered a price that is about what I wanted and was able to meet the next day

[indigo atlas]

wish I still had my bread role

[graceful burrow]

It was a stroke of genius from whoever started the bread memes
It really helped chat
Any time there was some dingus in chat tryna stir shit like 9 people would come out of the woodwork and start spamming bread

[jaunty compass]

It was this one

[coarse oracle]

but even most sellers are like this, almost bought a iphone for jailbreaking but seller refunded the money via paypal because it wasnt through friends and family. they said because they couldnt get the money from paypal and couldnt ship the parcel

shipping wouldve been 5.50€

after hearing that explanation i just ran and chose something else

[jaunty compass]

I think I'm pretty all right as a seller and I try to be as transparent as possible

*Alright

[coarse oracle]

i think im allright too as a seller

but genuinely, who does not have the money for the shipping label when selling something online?

because that was their explanation that i personally did not understand

[jaunty compass]

I think they probably just didn't want to ship

[coarse oracle]

i think so too

[jaunty compass]

Which is fair but also it's a little weird that they wouldn't accept it because it wasn't through family and friends which is a little sketchy

[coarse oracle]

i propositioned to send them the money for the shipping label as friends and family and the rest with buyer protection but they said no too

[coarse oracle]

exactly

[jaunty compass]

I don't deal with anyone through PayPal unless it's through goods and services

[coarse oracle]

nowdays me too

[jaunty compass]

I buy a lot of stuff through Hardware swap so it's just my first instinct when I use PayPal

[full fossil]

i can make your fav keyboard in a game

[coarse oracle]

havent used hardwareswap yet

[coarse oracle]

thats cool britney spears

[indigo atlas]

Mine's a block of wood, can you make that

[jaunty compass]

That's where my motherboard CPU and my am4 test bench board and a power supply I have coming in and the sketchy crypto PS5 all came from

Also my bulk RAM and ssds all came from a guy on Hardware swap

[coarse oracle]

damn thats nice

[jaunty compass]

I have a guy who sells me ddr4 4 gig sticks for $2.50 each

And sells when he has them for $5 each

[coarse oracle]

i found a small local pawn-style shop in my city which is where i got my iphone from

[full fossil]

sure

[jaunty compass]

8 gig sticks

[coarse oracle]

a bit pricier than on ebay but i got a warranty on it

[jaunty compass]

I also recently just bought an RX 6600 on Hardware swap but it hasn't come in yet because the mail was delayed because of the eclipse

[coarse oracle]

thats very worth it

[coarse oracle]

nice!
