too much political

bye bye

[grim belfry]

Good point, an Australian laughing at an American sweet potato saying China strangely is too political.

[eager notch]

It really is

[graceful burrow]

If it has to do with politics at all it's too political

[eager notch]

/s.

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't matter who's sayin what from where

Too political inherently

[keen cedar]

Same thing?

[grim belfry]

See that's the annoying thing. People have different opinions to each other, and I don't like it

[graceful burrow]

Sucks, keep politics outta here

I am JUST SONIC FAN, nothing disturbing or provocative.

[formal talon]

👍🏽

[cobalt copper]

I am not that kind of person who enjoys reading THAT comic we don`t talk about

[grim belfry]

spiderman?

[formal talon]

Brother why are you bringing this up lol

It makes you come across as extremely weird imo

[lilac bear]

that alone is questionable enough

[fossil frost]

was about to say, did anybody ask?

bringing this up out of the blue without anybody asking, suggests a guilty conscience

[formal talon]

This

Pretty weird if I'm being honest pal

[lilac bear]

haha Blue.. Bluey

[formal talon]

🤯

[formal talon]

Also btw lad since you dug through multiple messages to reply to me, I'm going to do the same; why would you suggest that I meant every Sonic fan is a wrongun

Jumping to conclusions like that is deffo a bit sus mate

[cobalt copper]

Because when you discovered that i am Sonic fan, you straight up started to be really mean with me.

[formal talon]

That doesn't mean I thought you were a paedo lol

[grim belfry]

?

[formal talon]

The fact that's the first thing you brought up when I was making a joke is a bit weird in itself tbh

[fossil frost]

no, what happened was, you asked if any sonic fans were here (aka furries)... and then someone said "OUT", and then you immediately took that to mean the extreme... nobody else mentioned those extremes other than you

[lilac bear]

LMAO DELETED

[formal talon]

It was sarcasm lad, either you're too naive to understand or you have some sort of guilty conscience

[crisp portal]

I hope it's not the latter

[cobalt copper]

Ohh, ok.

[fossil frost]

and having looked back... all you said was "OUT"... which on its own, suggests nothing to what they have said

[formal talon]

Exactly

[lilac bear]

GET OUTTA TOWN

with this sweet vacation deal!

[crisp portal]

wait i thought your pfp was ice bear for second

bruh

[ionic abyss]

Cant addord vacation this year gotta replace my gpu

[formal talon]

The bot is wilding

[fossil frost]

so if you come in here, saying you are a sonic fan, and someone literally just says "out"... and you jump to all those conclusions... that suggests those things are in YOUR head, nobody elses head... so if you wanna see who is accusing you of these things, you probably wanna look in the mirror

[formal talon]

So maybe next time, don't jump to conclusions so you don't come off some as a complete pleb lol

[lilac bear]

the autism is strong

If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

lol

[formal talon]

It's the just the fact in itself you thought I was accusing you of something when all I said was ''out''. Its almost like you know what you are doing is morally wrong so you try and worm your way out of it with different excuses tbh

[fossil frost]

my inability to give a shit has just kicked in now anyway, im gonna go watch ep 4 of fallout

[formal talon]

Same here, I'm going to go watch Corrie

No I just have nout else to watch lol

[cobalt copper]

Well, actually you were right, but over exaggerating, i am trying ot deal with my lust currently , i hope that i a m gonna be normal person, not like all these creeps.

[formal talon]

Hey lads I'm back

What happened to the Sonic Linux matey

Did he get banned or leave the server out of pure embarrassment?

[fierce moth]

This

Although slight objection

I hate how they're unrepairable asf

[harsh quartz]

I think that goes more into the company, it’s still good hardware even if it’s not repairable, a better company could make the same good hardware more repairable, but they choose not to

[lilac bear]

wrong, iPhone bad Samsung good

[harsh quartz]

HAHAH yeah no, absolutely fuckin not

[lilac bear]

better price, more performance, more pixels display

[harsh quartz]

Dog water software that can’t even run the phone

[fierce moth]

[fierce moth]

I've been running a s22u for quite a while now and I haven't had any software issues

More of a skill issue tbh

[harsh quartz]

Bruh my Samsung used to crash and could barely run the apps I needed, couldn’t do shit with it

[fierce moth]

Heck even more repairable

[hidden hill]

LTTstore.bomb
Entire back of my clipboard is covered in LTT/LTX stickers now!

[spice pine]

you mean the midrange models they introduce that are designed to compete with older iPhones, and can’t?

the a50 lineup in general can’t compete

not a bro but also, those aren’t entry-level phones

[fierce moth]

I don't understand people who do this to their laptops

[harsh quartz]

a52 5g, which was the same price as the completing iPhone and was supposed to be a better model than the normal a series, with longer term support, but every update they put out made my phone crash more. And the fuckin touch protection locked me out all the time

[spice pine]

the a50 series is midrange, $400-$500 phones. it should be able to perform better than an iPhone SE 2nd gen, and can’t.

[hidden hill]

I'm a computer service technician, people who do that are the bane of my existance. I buy offlease Chromebooks in bulk from Schoolboards to sell in remote communities in Northern Ontario, I've started outsourcing sticker removal to a friend lol

[spice pine]

base model Samsung S series can’t really fight against base model iPhones either, but that’s beside the point

[fierce moth]

Stock laptops ftw

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, the a52, and its years old now, the a52 5g was more and was also brand new at the time

[hidden hill]

Nothing more satisfying than a clean T series Thinkpad that's over 5 years old 🤤

[spice pine]

I’d really hope a $1300 phone could at least trade blows with a $1200 phone,

[fierce moth]

Is it just me or would it be cool to have a framework keyboard with a trackpoint (the little mouse bit on thinkpads)

[fierce moth]

I was literally just thinking of thinkpads before you said that lmao

[harsh quartz]

Again, now, yes, it’s years old

[spice pine]

it was $500, more expensive than the $399 iPhone SE 2nd gen - and performed worse

[harsh quartz]

Nani the fuck?

[spice pine]

and it came out a year later, too, on top of that

so like, no excuse. Most of samsung’s phones are eWaste

[hidden hill]

I still semi-daily drive a 2nd gen Thinkpad T420, it lives under my driversseat on an inverter as a field laptop, comes in handy more often than you'd think 😛

[harsh quartz]

Because at the time, it performed worse than competing iPhones and lasted a much shorter period of time before giving issues.

[spice pine]

congrats, you’re comparing two $1000+ phones, they’re going to be good no matter what, and you’ve missed the point entirely

[fierce moth]

I had a thinkpad during the first bit of high school as those were deployed to students for a bit
Kinda miss it tbh

[harsh quartz]

Wows, it’s almost as if my previous experience with companies and their products form my current opinions about the companies and products I want to interact with now?

[fierce moth]

Forgot the model though

[left venture]

What’s more expensive a 1000 dollar iPhone or a 1000 dollar Android 😆

[harsh quartz]

How much do you drop it?

[left venture]

The answer is iPhone, they hold their value for longer, higher resale value

[spice pine]

Samsung phones don’t come with chargers either, dummy

[fierce moth]

No?
You still need to buy a charger with a Samsung

[spice pine]

and the Samsung Fast Chargers are way more fucking expensive

[harsh quartz]

It’s almost as if both companies suck and you only seem to be acknowledging one side of this

[left venture]

Simple just already have an iPhone

[hidden hill]

Get another! They're like $60-70 max for one that still has 4GB+HDD. Slap 2x8GB DDR3 for $30 and a 512GB SSD, the i7 I dropped in mine was only $12 lol

[green kernel]

i mean 300$ Samsung is pretty tough on competition with Chinese 300$ phones from likes of xiaomi, Huawei and honor
poco and oppo occasionally there too

[fierce moth]

Love too, but I'm mega broke atm

[spice pine]

$50 for a 45w charger vs $20 for a 20w…

Apple wins here 🥱

[fierce moth]

Eh more logical to just get a ugreen charger tbh

[green kernel]

no.

[harsh quartz]

Why would you want to

[green kernel]

on android you can even play modded java

[spice pine]

keep moving the goalposts, someone will play your game eventually

[harsh quartz]

Not free, still have to buy MC, also, bedrock

[green kernel]

[spice pine]

Objectively, most samsung phones are eWaste

[full fossil]

auh

[harsh quartz]

After ~2 years, yeah

[pallid falcon]

👺

[spice pine]

you cannot honestly tell me the Galaxy A series devices, which sell a metric fuckton, are going to hold up over 2 years.

[fierce moth]

My mums has

[pallid falcon]

Idk I'm on a s22

[harsh quartz]

What does she use it for?

[fierce moth]

Yt, browsing and Facebook

[green kernel]

i mean i use phone that has already had stopped being updated
and i am pretty fine

[spice pine]

Honestly, I’d have a hard time suggesting anyone an S21 or older device at all, but I sell iPhone 13s on the daily

[fierce moth]

And calls and texts

[harsh quartz]

Cause my dads galaxy s22 doesn’t even get texts half the fuckin time

[fierce moth]

She did upgrade recently cause she wanted nfc for payment

[spice pine]

At least the 24 Ultra finally got rid of that stupid fucking curved glass

[pallid falcon]

Woudlint that be a carrier issue

[fierce moth]

Hard disagree

I love my curved screen on my s22u

[harsh quartz]

Possibly, but guess when it didn’t happen? When he was on an iPhone

[green kernel]

you have some hatred towards Samsung it seems, maybe

[spice pine]

all fun and games until you need a replacement

[idle nymph]

Fuck curved screen

[pallid falcon]

I hardly have issues. Only time was inside of brick building with half a bar

[tepid jasper]

my a52 is like, 2 years old now? i think they released like 3 years ago

[fierce moth]

Simple solution, maybe be a bit more careful or use some protection?

[tepid jasper]

but im pretty happy with it, it does everything i need

[idle nymph]

So far I like my nothing phone 1

[spice pine]

Don’t need nearly as much caution or protection with a flat screen though lmao

[tepid jasper]

and i can abuse it like no tomorrow with no remorse

since its a pretty cheap phone

hi

ugh

first day of using router and already problems

it has already crashed.

[pallid falcon]

I feel you

Will your router survive?

[green kernel]

software crash

[pallid falcon]

Oop

[fierce moth]

Sorta related, the stock firmware on the Asus router I have fucking sucks

[fierce moth]

Pppoe just didn't work

[green kernel]

i have good tplink router

[fierce moth]

So I flashed it with openwrt

And it fixed everything, and is now my daily router

[pallid falcon]

Do one of you want to setup a Cisco router for my class :3

[fierce moth]

And pppoe mind you, is very common in Australia

[fierce moth]

Ngl, I do wanna mess with enterprise grade networking shit

[green kernel]

tplink archer ax53

[fierce moth]

Looks so cool tbh

[fierce moth]

Rackmount anything looks cool

I wanna rackmount a wii

[green kernel]

it fucking constantly says to download app

FUCK OFFFFFF tplink

[fierce moth]

You could get maybe 3-4 wii's in 1u

[green kernel]

interesting
router has support for vpn stuff

[pallid falcon]

In spent a long with troubleshooting why commands wasint working just to figure out they installed a switch with gigabit instead of faster ethernet and we both felt dumb after

So ofc int fa0/1 don't work it's on that int g0/1

[fierce moth]

Don't ask me why I think of this shit

[harsh quartz]

Yeah tplink has a pretty nice interface, I have messed with the VPN but it seemed easy to set up

[green kernel]

indeed

but saying to get app EVERY single log in is annoying

also why the fuck automatic updates are enabled

[harsh quartz]

Doesnt Doesn’t do that for me, but I also have the app

Most user prefer auto updates, like me :p

[vernal pilot]

have this exact router with the same annoyance lol

[green kernel]

also you have it just freeze randomly?

or it is updates

[vernal pilot]

haven’t had that issue yet

[green kernel]

i guess updates doing funny thing

i assume you instantly disabled auto update?

[vernal pilot]

yea I did

[green kernel]

otherwise router is pretty awesome

[vernal pilot]

i agree, for like $70 USD it’s a good device

[green kernel]

router (to correct modem) i used befofe was absolutely awful
overheating all the time

and it was wifi 4

so yeah..
SLOOOwWWWW

[vernal pilot]

same, was using the spectrum supplied one as well for whatever reason and finally ditched it. Was WiFi 4 as well

idk how I put up with it for so long. Was painful

[green kernel]

yeah

absolute pain.
i still have to use it because of proprietary isp shit

well to correct connect one router to another

[green kernel]

skill issue truly

[fierce moth]

As I get older I tend to appreciate coffee a lot more

Man I feel old

[tacit ruin]

my king is too busy to worry about XMP

[harsh quartz]

I go through wildly strong phases

[harsh quartz]

I was raised as a 90s kid if that counts

[strange elk]

Disagree

Respectfully

[thick agate]

i have to deal with people at the cash register that cant do basic math or count coins, thats the harsh reality

i upsized the popcorn at the cinema and it took 2mins

[harsh quartz]

Talk about a first world problem

[thick agate]

this is a reocuring issue

[strange elk]

Oh god I'm going to miss the previews

[harsh quartz]

I won’t be able to silence my phone in time

[strange elk]

[harsh quartz]

For real though, those kids probably get paid minimum wage, in most of the US that’s 7.25$/hour, they don’t get paid enough to do math quickly

[fierce moth]

Hot take, The premovie ads are better than the actual movie most of the time

[harsh quartz]

Depends on how many movies you go to

[tacit notch]

Any good mice recommendation?

[harsh quartz]

If you go to every movie that comes out, yes, but if you go to a very specific few, not really

[fierce moth]

G502

[harsh quartz]

G502

[tacit notch]

Wow

[fierce moth]

It's a time tested design

[harsh quartz]

Depends on your preferences tho

It’s a great mouse for a decent price and good quality cause it’s Logitech, on the other hand, it’s kind of heavy

[fierce moth]

And there's the lightspeed version if you want/need wireless

[fierce moth]

I put extra weights in my g502 LS

[tacit notch]

I agreed. Im kinda looking for more smaller ones

[harsh quartz]

Ditto

[harsh quartz]

Anything by Logitech is good

[fierce moth]

There is the superlight lineup

[tacit notch]

The GPro Superlight?

[left venture]

Viper 8KHz

Or finalmouse

[lilac bear]

logitech or gtfo

[fierce moth]

Yeah

[fierce moth]

Razer has shit software

[strange elk]

truly. basilisk x was unusable, or rather unreasonably bad

[fierce moth]

Also razer historically put a crypto miner in their software

[left venture]

lol

and lenovo used to have malware at one point in their laptops yet people shill them to the moon nd back

[left venture]

you dont gotta install it

[fierce moth]

But it was, without users giving consent or even knowing about it

[left venture]

i dont remember there ever being a crypto miner in the software

[fierce moth]

Wait

Sorta got the story wrong

It was consentual, but the returns were so crap it was labled a scam

[manic torrent]

And their software has/had compulsory online login to even start

They have a long history of not giving a fuck about you and producing garbageware. So yeah, I don't buy razer anymore.

[fierce moth]

Based logitech for not requiring an account

[manic torrent]

I wouldn't go that far. That's like... The bare minimum.

Based would be an open format with documentation on how to interface with the extended interface.

[fierce moth]

It's sorta happening with win11 dynamic lights

Ive been looking for a video player that can play 2 audios at once without any dragging and dropping like in VLC. Does anyone know of one? FOR PC

[harsh quartz]

That’s such a question that cannot be answered here

Dependent on location, coverage, budget, use case

[full fossil]

Not every detail is needed to be known all the time

[harsh quartz]

No, saying its cheaper is good, but not if its unusable or unreliable when you need it

[full fossil]

I was on it before it was reliable in a city not in a small town

I live in a city now and it will stay in a city

Not for my phone

[strange elk]

Does piper handle gyro by chance?

[lilac bear]

for android? only samsung and a china brand can do that

[turbid vigil]

for pc

Hey All, Whats the best way to apply for a job at LMG. through the website? or perhaps direct via a message here on discord

[hot tartan]

Website

[vapid smelt]

Applying for a job via discord?!

[left venture]

Very sketchy

[full fossil]

I was trying to think of a way to stand out

yea that wouldn't be reight

[strange elk]

With major security concerns lmao

[full fossil]

point taken lol

[lilac bear]

just post resume in public chat

[vapid smelt]

Along with your SSN so we know if we can hire you

[strange elk]

Full background check

[left venture]

And credit card number ....for research purposes

[strange elk]

Including family

[full fossil]

you madeyour points guys lol

[manic torrent]

Step 1: maybe look at their job listings? Which have details on how to apply?

Given you failed before step 1, perhaps reassess your goals.

[full fossil]

its not that I failed. just trying to differn't myself from others

but yea, will apply via the website

[manic torrent]

Differentiating yourself by an inability to follow basic instructions doesn't seem like a good idea

[full fossil]

ok

thanks

[left venture]

That’s how networking works

https://tenor.com/view/think-smart-gif-22411928

@jagged linden thank you

Somebody sayin the 7800xt is meant for 1080p ☠️

[ember ridge]

I think I screwed up the wiring in my system, fans are going weird stuff

[wary grotto]

guys the write off shirt is finally here

[wary grotto]

with the new games prolly

[full fossil]

No idea what that is literally only use iPhones

Why are you here if you dont know what a 7800xt is

[full fossil]

I like ltt that’s why

[wary grotto]

hey this is an all inclusive server

[manic torrent]

jobs are overrated. money to live is good.

[full fossil]

I wanted to support ltt even if it’s only £4 a month

[wary grotto]

fair

[pliant steppe]

Man im hungry

[ember ridge]

ya think 6 fans wired into 1 header is fine? to clarify, just their rgb is in one header

[wary grotto]

It's the thought not the money

[pliant steppe]

Uhh i think thats too many for one

[full fossil]

Yea seemed like it to me

[ember ridge]

the power is provided by sata, idk how much power just the rgb pulls

[full fossil]

If it’s possible it’s too much probly is

[manic torrent]

not very much

[lilac bear]

nuh uh

[full fossil]

What you saying nuh uh to?

I'm still rocking a RTX 3060

[lilac bear]

just felt like it

[ember ridge]

i was going off the idea that rgb barely pulls anything, and 6 fans worth of rgb wasnt really that much

the only noticable problem is the occasional flicker to a different color, sounds like a power issue

[full fossil]

I’m still using my iPhone XR for absolutely everything

[ember ridge]

but, it's like, very rare, maybe once every other minute

[wary grotto]

I have a 3080ti that sits in my PC because I'm a college student now and life happened

[full fossil]

@full fossil Same here. I have an XR and its still going

[full fossil]

Too many on one thing then

[lilac bear]

is the 3060 outdated now
I guess so

[full fossil]

I’m going to buy an 12 and my XR will be my spare phone after I get it repaired

[ember ridge]

the only problem is this board only has 1 3pin argb header, for a z790 board i was kinda disappointed

[manic torrent]

something something fallout

[lilac bear]

based that the first game is being played

[strange elk]

I finally figured out why my fucking keepass database wouldn't open using my string password only on this windows 10 install, my fucking keyboard was UK layout

[full fossil]

oof, yea dude. need to check those

[vapid smelt]

Why have a UK layout

[full fossil]

cause he is in the UK lol

[strange elk]

Good question

[strange elk]

Nice assumption

[lilac bear]

you are though, I have your IP

[full fossil]

😂

I have made the same mistake dude. figured it out when my // did not work

came up as ## instead

[strange elk]

I mean I didn't expect yubikey to emulate a specific keyboard layout

[ember ridge]

i might just drop the rgb fans, but man, they looks so nice in an nv7

[full fossil]

I agree

no need for RGB anymore?

[ember ridge]

im afraid of burning out an rgb header

[full fossil]

ah, do you have all your fans off one header?

[ember ridge]

Just their argb, theyre daisy chained together and powered off SATA

[full fossil]

oh powered off sata, I say its fine then, fans draw very little power

[jagged linden]

Based on them not even knowing how to apply they probably won’t even get accepted

[shut flint]

Well

[ember ridge]

Ive been trying to search around for the volt/amp that the rgb draws alone, but all that comes up is the entire fan

[full fossil]

From my experience at least

[shut flint]

Hello

[full fossil]

Now I know, so thank you

[ember ridge]

why would they flicker then? Is that a power issue or just cheap fan issue

[shut flint]

I just joined the discord but an LLT sub since forever

[full fossil]

oh they are flickering?

[shut flint]

LTT*

[ember ridge]

every so often, maybe between 15-30 sec

[full fossil]

they spinning consistently ?

[lilac bear]

now that you say that you're right
on a WAN episode Linus said something along the lines that where to apply is purposely kept vague to weed out idiots

[ember ridge]

Yeah, all rpms are reading normal

[full fossil]

hm, I would shutdown and unplug the least important ones to test

then restart and see if it continues. If so I agree. cheap fan

thants my thought

[ember ridge]

theyre deepcool fans, so it could be either or

Actually, okay this complicates things. only the bottom 3 fans are doing that. my 3 aio fans aren't flickering

[full fossil]

hm, did you post to #1027757333117415424

[ember ridge]

I've been scrolling through, I'll make a new thread

[full fossil]

[strange elk]

Rebooting for dotnet updates.. What a joke

[undone aspen]

Bro I’m so broke

I need a job

But it’s quite literally impossible

[indigo atlas]

Why?

[undone aspen]

In the uk the age where you can get a job is 16

I’ve applied to roughly 400 jobs since then and only ever had 20 interviews

That figure of 400 doesn’t include all the times I’ve went into local businesses with my CV handing it out

I literally cannot afford a social life and it’s depressing as fuck

[craggy rose]

Start to make connections with people, unfortunately that's the hard truth of reality

[undone aspen]

Connections with who tho?

[craggy rose]

Your qualifications don't mean that much anymore

[craggy rose]

Local business owners

Friends of them

[undone aspen]

I have they simply don’t want me

[solid oxide]

Hi

[craggy rose]

Oh well, start a YouTube channel idk

[undone aspen]

I can’t even claim a JSA in the uk because I’m in full time education

[craggy rose]

Its frustrating ik

[undone aspen]

12p in my bank account 😎

My parents stopped paying for anything they didn’t legally have to at 15

I borrow money from my girlfriend there and there but it’s humiliating

[craggy rose]

Man

[undone aspen]

I’m 18 now

Parents can’t afford for me to get drivers lessons but they can afford a week holiday to Greece

[craggy rose]

You are desperate?

[undone aspen]

Literally

[craggy rose]

Like a lot

[indigo atlas]

God damn.. hopefully you get one soon

[undone aspen]

I’ve literally applied to care for the elderly and been rejected

I’ve volunteered before

At a food bank and charity shop

When I was 16 and 17

[craggy rose]

Have you tried delivery apps?

[undone aspen]

My bike got robbed when I was 15

If I could I would

[undone aspen]

Totally my fault tho

I’ve seen people on our fucking local sex offenders registry in interviews and then get the job 🙏

And I haven’t

[craggy rose]

Buy garbage bags and start knocking on people's doors

[undone aspen]

I swear my name must be tied to some fucked up shit or something

[undone aspen]

That just isn’t common here if I did that I’d be turned away

I’ve offered to clean peoples cars and get consistent “no”

[craggy rose]

It isn't in anywhere

[undone aspen]

I’ve been considering selling some of my prized possessions to literally just go away with my friends

[craggy rose]

Just do it, at this point you will have to risk it

If you are really desperate for money

[undone aspen]

I’m saying I won’t now but everyday I get more desperate

Worse thing is all my friends have jobs and they have talked to there mangers and I literally still get nowhere

[craggy rose]

But you will have to make sacrifices, going out with your friends is one of them

Sell your phone and get a cheaper one to get a bike

[lilac bear]

sell the bike for money

[craggy rose]

Got robbed

Getting a bike and start making deliveries is the first thing

You can work for 5 hours per day and that will probably get you 10 bucks per hour

Save 80% of it and just do the absolute basic

Do that for a couple months, it will be very exhausting, very frustrating, but your future you will be thankful for the sacrifices

[restive tartan]

resume and how you present yourself is everything

[craggy rose]

It should be

Unfortunately it isn't, the real world is so much more complicated, not attacking you, just saying

[restive tartan]

thats fair. ive had several employers turn me away because of how i demonstrated myself to them. i was overqualified sometimes but they just didnt like how i talked or dressed

[craggy rose]

Yeah, being judged by appearance is basically the norm these days and we can't do anything about it

[lilac bear]

always was

[restive tartan]

granted i showed up in shorts and a tshirt

but the job i have now i actually decided to care

[lilac bear]

judging on appearance isn't some "ohhh gen z" thing

[restive tartan]

its older than people

[craggy rose]

At least in the past there was a shortage of qualified people so it wasn't really that bad, these days the market is saturated, so much so that qualifications don't matter that much anymore

[restive tartan]

they be making shi up sometimes too lol

[craggy rose]

I've seen it

[restive tartan]

[wispy marsh]

I have a crazy idea

What if all of our air cooled components have heatsinks which are attached to the chassis and fill up the entirely of it, whilst having three high-pressure fans in the front freely pushing air through the system?

[harsh quartz]

I feel like this is just A) a server, or B) that All Heatsinks case that’s been tried twice, was a scam the first time, and tried to do more shady shit the second time

Inb4 the only human is Dan

[manic torrent]

yes

[wispy marsh]

It was an actual product

It still is, but it's slightly less affordable to the masses

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t mean it wasn’t shady as fuck

[wispy marsh]

This is not a shady thing by itself. The Xeon Mac Pros were some of the most silent high-powered machines for its time.

[harsh quartz]

Not what I was referring to, but also, apple is shady as fuck, so it’s still valid

[wispy marsh]

The engineering that went into the aesthetics and cooling

If only our average manufacturer could do half of this

[harsh quartz]

It looks like the walking trash cans in Star Wars

[full fossil]

I wouldn’t but anything from apple only buy used apple products only the decent products survive it to being resold

[wispy marsh]

The chassis has three fans for probably ~1500 watts, with a separate one for the psu

It's giant, it's silent, and it's airflow, I love it

[cedar pebble]

I love CFD

[full fossil]

CFD?

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, dell tried this shit for years with their optiplex coolers and stuff; they just sucks

[cedar pebble]

Computational fluid dynamics

Aka in this situation, simulating airflow

[wispy marsh]

Difference is Dell doesn't want to put effort into Apple-level engineering

[harsh quartz]

Other difference, the apples aren’t affordable

[wispy marsh]

And they're not worth 3T

[full fossil]

like what you need lots of gpus to calculate?

[harsh quartz]

Dell also isn’t getting sued every 2 weeks

[cedar pebble]

Gpu accelerated CFD exists yeah, it’s helpful for really complex sims

[wispy marsh]

Apple does do a ton of shady things, but a huge part is because you handed the company to a logistics guy

[cedar pebble]

Most CFD is just CPU for smaller scale stuff tho iirc

[full fossil]

Im intrested what shady things

[wispy marsh]

Logistics in huge companies will always prioritising streamline processes and and saving their own asses

[harsh quartz]

Pricing structure and anti-right to repair are the most obvious

[full fossil]

Yea that’s well known if you use apple stuff

I do and still plan to in the future I just like iOS

Man just ended Tim Apples career

[full fossil]

I was planning on buying a Mac not anymore

😵‍💫

Still getting iphone and Apple Watch from a company that will actually give warranty and honour it aka not apple

[lilac bear]

Epic Games

both companies are bad

battle of mid

[wispy marsh]

Apple also shadily prevents users from resetting Macbooks if the MDM/EPM is no longer valid or contactable, leading to Macbooks in good condition (90%>) to be sent to the landfill

[wispy marsh]

That's why I included Cydia

[full fossil]

I was planning on buying a 2017 MacBook so that’s a bad idea?

[wispy marsh]

If it's properly wiped, it's a good laptop

This MDM lock issue affects even M-series because of Apple's workflow

[full fossil]

Will it still be able to be activated?

[wispy marsh]

You'd have to do your usual diligence

Signed out of

• iMessage
• iCloud
• Settings

Wiped with only stock apps and configurations available, with the newest security patches when possible

[full fossil]

It’s being bought from a proper company

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, still do your due diligence

Make sure there's no VPN or MDM profiles on it

[full fossil]

I won’t be able to test that in store

[alpine gale]

The things I've seen "proper companies" do... or rather, fail to do. 🤦

[wispy marsh]

If you can't test it, don't buy it

You're a paying customer

You have the money that they want

[full fossil]

They will let me see the battery health on iPhones before I buy them

[wispy marsh]

Just make sure there's not shady MDM, VPN profiles inside

[full fossil]

I could ask to be shown that it has been fully reset before I buy it

[wispy marsh]

It's too late once you bring it home without proper verification

Do things on site and do it thoroughly

[full fossil]

Will try to

[harsh quartz]

Honestly one of my favorite videos from LTT is where they swapped the storage between the two Mac’s to show what would or wouldn’t work with the parts serialization

[alpine gale]

In case this helps: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/10v8btl/how_to_know_if_your_mac_has_mdm_profile_installed/

[full fossil]

In going to ask to be shown that it doesn’t have any form of management installed on it before buying

[harsh quartz]

Could just buy a windows instead

[full fossil]

I can’t stand windows or Microsoft

[harsh quartz]

Apple isn’t better

[full fossil]

I need a good laptop that won’t die for no reason

[graceful burrow]

sounds like what you truly want is linux ngl

[harsh quartz]

Chromebook time

OR steamdeck

[full fossil]

Most Chromebooks aren’t Usbc

[harsh quartz]

Get one that is

[full fossil]

Right

Imma just have to see what there is

[harsh quartz]

Macs are great technology, but macOS and apple just make them a pain

[grim belfry]

Most actually are, in my experience, simplifies charging for large fleets in the education market

[harsh quartz]

Even if they have USBc with charge in they might not be the “right” usbc

Better phrasing might be Chromebooks usually aren’t thunderbolt

[fierce moth]

This, I've seen a large number of schools deploy laptop charging stations that use usb C for students to charge their laptops during breaktimes

[grim belfry]

There is almost zero use for thunderbolt on a chromebook

[full fossil]

If it’s education it is probably the slowest garage you are legally allowed to put in it and call it a laptop

[harsh quartz]

IO support, considering that a Chromebook will likely have like, idk, 2 ports?

[fierce moth]

Thunderbolt isn't a requirement for usb C pd even on laptops

[harsh quartz]

Yes, that is my point

[fierce moth]

So why point it out?

[grim belfry]

USB 3.2 whatever can do anything you need on a chromebook

[harsh quartz]

Saying just because the Chromebooks have use for charging, it might not have the standards that are being looked for in the same as a Mac might have

Comparing Chromebooks to Mac’s, thunderbolt can be important in the comparison

[fierce moth]

Eh, thunderbolt is kinda silly ngl

[grim belfry]

A Mac and a Chromebook are completely different classes of machine.
If you need thunderbolt, a chromebook ain't for you

[harsh quartz]

My guy, Chromebook was said as a joke and y’all ran with it, but yes, the original point was Chromebook vs Mac

[grim belfry]

Sorry, I was just jumping in mid conversation

[harsh quartz]

Would rather have it or at least DP alt, rather than not have either

[full fossil]

Id prefer mac but it seems like just asking for trouble if get one

[harsh quartz]

Macs are not bad machines, but they’re not as good as they’re hyped up to be either, and usually not worth the price

[grim belfry]

Aldonist is right in this case I think

[harsh quartz]

Chromebook is Linux

[fierce moth]

Literally Linux mint on a somewhat decent win laptop

[fierce moth]

That's like saying Android is linux

It isn't fundamentally

[full fossil]

Linux mint is awful Ubuntu better

[harsh quartz]

ChromeOS is just as linux as Ubuntu

(They both suck)

And before I get my ass lit up like a Christmas tree, /j

[fierce moth]

Except that Ubuntu actually is slightly more open than chromeos

[full fossil]

Imma go now

[wispy marsh]

lmk what you think of the mac

I'm thinking of getting a 512gb MBA for fun

[full fossil]

Will if remember

[fierce moth]

I wanna get a framework

But too expensive

[golden talon]

i shall refrain from any windows laptop until their battery becomes anywhere close to mac

which there is none currently

[velvet marsh]

Plus windows modern standby

[golden talon]

my thinkpad suffers from this and it's super frustrating
