asus tuf f15 had like 4-5 hours of battery life on linux on igpu with upgraded battery

[north wraith]

Saddly the game I was working on for this semster did not get to the sound track... we were lucky it got as far as it did

[brave flare]

oh

[grim belfry]

They don't seem to

[north wraith]

Oh I can talk about this actully Tuf was my last windwos laptop

I would say it was a decent price for performance

[solemn axle]

Exactly, that's why i bought Thinkpad and oh god its keyboard is nice

[north wraith]

all the issues I have had with it have been software related I think

[solemn axle]

Gaming laptops are difficult beasts

[north wraith]

oh yeah the tuf keyboard is crap

[near nymph]

I dont think they check... but my little borther is a student so if they do ask i'll use his discount

i am interested in getting a macbook

[north wraith]

well. crap might be a bit harsh but its not a stand out feater at least

[brave flare]

seems like every manufacturer has some sort of flaw

[north wraith]

Goodluck @near nymph

[gusty oasis]

Why use a laptop's keyboard when you can carry around your own mechanical keyboard?

[brave flare]

I did that with my old laptop

it was incredibly cursed

[north wraith]

would def recomend getting any of the Apple silicon ones if you can

[brave flare]

membrane keyboard and a mouse right in fromt of it

[solemn axle]

It is rather a compromise to get an additional performance when you are charging it but in a price of battery life & weight

[brave flare]

weight doesnt matter to me

im not gonna be running with my backpack

[solemn axle]

I thought the same, but it sucks when you can't put your laptop in the bag if it is too big + you have to bring charger with you

[north wraith]

I found a good deal on a M1 MB that was in good shape and its been a treat to work on for project. Wish it had more games ported to it because the few it has it can run well but I knew that was going to be an issue going into it

[brave flare]

does razer still have the expanding battery issue lol

[solemn axle]

expanding battery like spicy pillows ?

[brave flare]

yes

[alpine gale]

All devices with batteries are susceptible to spicy battery syndrome. It's not limited to Razer products.

[brave flare]

oh

[solemn axle]

tbh i haven't heard much about it

[north wraith]

The backpack thing is a real issue. My back has been feeling so much better since I switch lol

[solemn axle]

hammer+nails outdoors

I wouldn't find any dispose facility here anyway

and it is fun

[north wraith]

sure you will! its call a hole in the ground /s

https://www.hidevolution.com/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-ga402xy-14-wqxga-165hz-ryzen-9-7940hs-rtx-4090-white.html
This one here has 32gb of ram and the miniled display.

That said

You won't get the full power of a mobile 4090 in that form factor, which is partially why they didn't include 4080 and 4090 models of the 2024 model

[brave flare]

awesome

[gusty oasis]

So waiting for an AMD g16 with a 4090 might be better

[north wraith]

Anyways yeah I have heard some really soild praise for Zeph seems to strike the balance of Gaming and Laptop remarkable well

[solemn axle]

it isn't bad

[brave flare]

Probably will

[gusty oasis]

That is what I like about my 2024 G14. It is lighter and thinner than my work macbook pro, while having a dGPU

[north wraith]

Its too bad too since thats what I WAS going to get till the dang Best Buy sale rep sold me the tuf lol

[brave flare]

macbook pros are pretty thin

[north wraith]

but this was also like 2 or 3 years ago

[brave flare]

and I believe the 4070+ zephyrus laptops have vapor chambers

[solemn axle]

did the same dude sell us these laptops

[brave flare]

I almost got a nitro a few years baco

[north wraith]

yeah thats the one downside with bestbuy you should be sure to not get sway into buying what you don/t want

[solemn axle]

tbh Tuf made me lose all faith in gaming laptops

[north wraith]

... same I guess lol

like I said it was and probably will be the LAST windows laptop I own

(unless you count handhelds)

[vapid smelt]

if you want your gaming laptop to have all day battery life

[solemn axle]

I eventually replaced display matrix, battery and case of it and use as a second stationary desktop

[solemn axle]

my back hurts looking on this

[brave flare]

id cop

could i buy 2 and put one on the front

[north wraith]

That is also what mine is atm

[solemn axle]

Also noname chinese company + 1200Wh make me look at this like on bomber west

[north wraith]

I mean it is a perfectly lovely All in One with dedicate UPS

[brave flare]

its japanese

[vapid smelt]

makita is not a no name company

[solemn axle]

Oh, they have experience with bombers ig

[brave flare]

they are also behind a battery powered microwave

[brave flare]

😭

[solemn axle]

didn't know tbh

[north wraith]

Its a good brand though right up there with DeWalt, and Milwalkeey

[solemn axle]

probably not a popular brand in Russia

[grim belfry]

Lmao

[brave flare]

https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/MW001GZ

[vapid smelt]

https://www.makitatools.com/company/about-us

[north wraith]

I mean its fair we can't all be exerpets on everthing

[alpine gale]

Not enough Watt hours. I need MOAR! (over 9000 Wh would be great.)

[vapid smelt]

https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/DCM501Z pairs great with the coffee maker

[solemn axle]

Don't get me wrong, I can't imagine a universe where I would be able to go into the metro with this thing on

[brave flare]

they also have a water kettle

[north wraith]

I would say its better then Ryobe and at least as good as DeWalt to give you and idea of brand reliablity factor

[nova ingot]

No Name company
Makita

[north wraith]

but thats just my gut feeling with what little experince with all those brand I have

[alpine gale]

Great for jobsites where you don't have access to power, but like, also... gonna need a lot of batteries.

Brews up to (3) 5 oz. cups of coffee on a single 5.0Ah LXT® battery charge (battery not included)

[solemn axle]

I got it dude, i didn't know it is a popular company, I just never saw this brand where i live

[north wraith]

Depends on the crew size I guess

[nova ingot]

Also 100w microwaves is such a weird niche

[vapid smelt]

and its only $130 usd

[nova ingot]

It’s 100% Japanese brand

I don’t think I’ve ever seen 100W anywhere else but Japan

Err 500w

[vapid smelt]

then its like antoher 80 for the battery...

[north wraith]

Yeah we trolled them enough for not know imo 🙂

500w usb-c when

I want to power my microwave and my gaming laptop

[north wraith]

Legit I used to attend a miltary esqu college so micewaves were banned from the dorms but this sucker would have confused them to no end!

[grim belfry]

Still cheaper than stock Dyson batteries

[north wraith]

Screw dyson

[nova ingot]

There was a workplace that banned coffee makers plugged into the walls so the workers just bought Makita coffee makers and battery chargers as a work around

[north wraith]

and their built in batteris

[north wraith]

Exactly.

[grim belfry]

They aren’t hot swap, but they’re still easily replaceable

[north wraith]

Plus portable micrwave is almost a portable kitchen

[nova ingot]

https://youtu.be/4xOEIpbxM4w

The little skit they do with the coffee maker

[north wraith]

well thats good to know at least.

[nova ingot]

[north wraith]

So kcups?

[grim belfry]

One screw, it's torx, but still only one srew

BRB making coffee in a supermarket sign

[north wraith]

Just a regualr torx not the one with the silly hole though?

those tamper proof things or whatever

But if only I had some device that was design to remove helical screwed fasteners with ease

[nova ingot]

One thing I want. Japan only.

[north wraith]

lol was setting up for a LTT driver joke but that is also fine tool too

Impact? or just low profile?

[nova ingot]

I swear 20% of the internet I follow went to Japan at the same time Linus did

Impact

[north wraith]

noice

figured since it looks identical to my DeWalt version

[nova ingot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tools/s/jJHSTltcMx

[north wraith]

tbh I still don't know the exact use case it is better then a typical drill

[nova ingot]

I’m in the Milwaukee/Ryobi system so this kind of breaks it but man I should get one while I know people in Hapan

[north wraith]

I know the feeling

[nova ingot]

It’s a screw driver. It drives screws

I got my dad the 12v fuel impact drivers

[north wraith]

its like getting locked into Android or Apple but worse imo

oh btw they make battery addapters that can make life a little eaiser

[nova ingot]

I literally agonized for months figuring out what impact driver to get because it would dictate what brand I would buy for the next decade

[north wraith]

THIS

ended up just picking dewalt because thats what work had so I figure I would get good with one and its quirks

[nova ingot]

“The Dewalt impact driver is nice, but the Milwaukee hammers good lights and the Ridgid portable vaccuums have the best filters”

Me: BUT WHICH ONE SHOULD J GET

[north wraith]

I never have felt more seen fellow tool reviewer

[grim belfry]

Whichever brand is at the police auction

[north wraith]

... valid

[nova ingot]

I ended up picking Milwaukee over Ridgid and even Makita because the Lowes and Home Depot Ben diagram carries both and sometimes you just need the tool same day.

[north wraith]

Oh that is a legit reason for sure

[nova ingot]

The Milwaukee had some good fans.

[north wraith]

For me its a haul to get to any big brand store so was not a factor sadly

[nova ingot]

I need a battery powered vacuum at some point

[north wraith]

unless I wanted to go with Walmart... (don't)

DeWalts version of vacuums are weird we eneded up getting an 3rd party one that was better

[nova ingot]

Also the Apple vs Android comment

Compatibility is key….

[long briar]

The issue is Asus has never released intel and AMD versions of the same laptop before

so there's really no way to know

[north wraith]

you know... I could have actaully used this as one point

[alpine gale]

Something about this screams April Fools... but if this is real, I want it purely for the meme of having it.

[north wraith]

for non troll reasons

[nova ingot]

In terms of tech, this is a great way to lure people into an ecosystem.

also there packout line is so nice

[long briar]

https://www.facebook.com/ImpactTrainHorns/videos/7336800553058481/

or I could mount on bike

[grim belfry]

The bare minimum for cyclists in the US

[alpine gale]

This is great. I want one. Or I want to replace the Hella Sharptone in my SubUwU with a train horn, like that YouTuber did that one time because "ha-ha, funny."

[nova ingot]

That was the use case we were thinking of too. That and warning people who were around the corner

[north wraith]

You know I think I was going to do something producitve but I totally got sucked into jsut hanging out here

[long briar]

I need a train horn for my rav4

[north wraith]

Has to be better then the hand powered ones. But at least those dont need to be charged

[long briar]

that thing has such a weak horn it's pathetic

it sounds like a horn from a toy car

2012 V6

[nova ingot]

Me considering “upgrades” to my Honda for. Rip Subcompact cars in the USA

[alpine gale]

Probably the same wimpy horn that came in my 2014 Crosstrek. (Hence why I replaced the stock one.)

[long briar]

possibly

[north wraith]

Yeah small is not in sads

[alpine gale]

Sounded like a wet noodle when I had to use it one time someone didn't understand how yield lanes worked.

[north wraith]

Is the fit not still a thing?

[nova ingot]

Battery to Liquid ratio

[nova ingot]

Last time Inchecked discontinued in the US

[long briar]

Lowkey I think my Rav4 might have a weaker one than that

[nova ingot]

I blame the chicken tax

[north wraith]

IDk who this man is but I would trust his take on tools

purly on quailty of stash alone

[nova ingot]

Linus was musing about smaller cars in the US a few wan shows ago

[alpine gale]

You're watching the wrong video. This is the correct one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u30Eny7QeKU

[nova ingot]

Literally next on the playlist lol

[north wraith]

hehe

seriously I feel like I was in the middle of doing something semi useful before I got distracted here and now I can't remeber what it was

[alpine gale]

Oi, stop describing my everyday waking existence! 🤣

[north wraith]

oh right wait it was cyber security stuff

[alpine gale]

James be one of the 3x coffee centric YouTube channels that puts out a damn fine cuppa coffee content.

[nova ingot]

That reminds me. I need to get suspenders

LTT suspenders when

As my millennial body gets more oddly shaped

I need to go crawling into the attic and redo the wiring

Need to redu this too

[north wraith]

I also rec suspenders

Loom. Used as conduit. Outdoor conduit, to boot. Welp, if you'll excuse me, I need to grab a beer.

[north wraith]

I'll take one too

ok from what I can tell Malewerebytes would probably be enough for me on my mac

certianly not going to get Macfee or Norton

[near nymph]

Wtf

[north wraith]

Though... I've even started to come to enjoy some IPAs too so who knows

[alpine gale]

BUT WHY. There's no drip loop, and that loom is probably full of musty water.

[near nymph]

I drink whisky instead less calories

[grim belfry]

I'm sure it'll be perfectly dry

[north wraith]

imma be sick

[brave flare]

[north wraith]

This seems to me to be right up with the guy who thought putting my dryer vent UNDER the portch was a good idea

[nova ingot]

Yeah it’s UV damaged.

[north wraith]

because nothing I like more then crawling under a deck to make sure my house dosen't burn.

[nova ingot]

any recommendations, preferable ordered from Amazon

Need to build a NAS for more of my gameplay recordings. Unraid or Truenas?

[north wraith]

not really I got mine used from thrift stores and the likes

Carhart is a decent brand thoug

[velvet marsh]

are you doing more than just storing files? are you going to run Plex or Jellyfin as well? or do you just want a NAS

[north wraith]

and Dickeys should be good too

Yeah any branding that was on my favorit pair is worn away at this point so can't help

[nova ingot]

Mostly storage. I’ll set up another box over a network share for anything else.

[north wraith]

So yeah @nova ingot if you can I would check out local stores or goodwill but if you want online Dickes and Carhart are resoniably safe bets that are on Amazon

[velvet marsh]

are you buying all the drives at once, or do you plan on using just a random set of drives?

[nova ingot]

This time I’m planning on several 18 gb drives

Hoping to expand later though.

Thought about going unraid for that reason for potential upgrades

[velvet marsh]

unraid is much more flexible when adding drives

[nova ingot]

I totally forgot to buy a lifetime licence

[velvet marsh]

I have used unraid for lik 5 years now, I love it

[nova ingot]

Before the price hike

[velvet marsh]

I haven't used truenas since it was freenas

[nova ingot]

I just want a system that I can upgrade over time, that is just used for storage and data hoarding my own content, and that has good documentation and support that doesn’t require me to relearn several workflows every time I want to change something as I can follow a tutorial but I don’t want to make into a second job learning how to fiddle with

[grim belfry]

Another gem

[nova ingot]

Kinda sad the SSD race to increase capacity we saw a few months or years ago slowed down to “more sustainable levels”

At some point I was hoping to see 8 tb for 200 at this point

[north wraith]

Hey double checking The apple chips are Arm right?

[grim belfry]

Indeed

[north wraith]

cool

getting Java set up for some modded minecraft and it was asking what sort of archetecture I wanted so I went with aarch64

[north wraith]

thats the dream

[nova ingot]

I probably generate 5-10 GB of recordings a night

Would like to kick that up

[north wraith]

As I get older I put more and more value on "time it takes to get working"

[nova ingot]

Or at least not feel some dread once I pass that 50-70% mark

Plus as it’s the only copy I struggle from game to game to figure out what’s the best transcode to size it down without losing TOO much quality. As 10-15k kbps at 1440 ultrawide at 30 fps already feels low

[long briar]

yea the next time I go camping and I hear someone moaning loudly during quiet hours I'm gonna walk to their tent and blast it

[north wraith]

Just don't have the same time to sink into projects and on the other hand having an adult job means I can actual afford products that tend to work without as much fiddling

[nova ingot]

I’ve run into guys I played with in the Xbox 360 days and wish I had recordings of our shenanigans from back then

[north wraith]

xbox 360 era was such a time

[nova ingot]

At this point money is easier to come scrosss that time or energy so Synology and its apps just feel more accessible

I got a Synology for the folks because it’s just easier

But an 8 drive solution is just insane out of pocket for me

Right now the folks have a 4 bay 2 drive

I got them on iPhone so I just have them run Synology photos and Apple iCloud to sync photos so I just grab their phone when they’re home and let the phones sync overnight

[north wraith]

Yeah I also agree with the idea that I don't mind sitting down to watch a decent video about a thing either... so long as the system wont change in like 2 or 5 years

[nova ingot]

Sometimes I hate going into homelab for solutions as their hobby bleeds into their job

[north wraith]

Will need to look into that

my fam justs uses iCloud

[nova ingot]

And if they spend 120 hours leaning a new skill it directly goes into their value as a skillset

I find r/datahoarder as a middle ground but haven’t really messed with it in years. Also I need to redownload some old posts from the site formerly known as Twitter

[north wraith]

I recently got them on a dedicated password managers (1pass) that was my big tech goal of the year lol not that keychain is bad or anything

[nova ingot]

One of the grouo@meme era we travel with has a habit of taking great photos, posting it on social media, and deleting the originals

[north wraith]

dang

well if its apple apperntly they don't actaully delate stuff lol

[nova ingot]

Surprise backup

[north wraith]

Yeah no thanks... sometimes things should stay delelated

[nova ingot]

I mean I get the whole “social media is where I rediscover my media” but they don’t realize that it can be gone at any moment or that it goes though a lot of compression that’s not always evident in a. Phone screen

[north wraith]

Though im sure my digital skeltons in the closet arent that bad compared to others I still have a few.

[nova ingot]

Recently saw ANOTHER set of photos in a photo book with jpeg artifacts

[north wraith]

Also having the orginal is just good

plain and simple.

[nova ingot]

God I hate the YouTube app right now. It’s ALWAYS trying to get you to sign in on any networked Roku TV running the app

[velvet marsh]

I'd use AV1

[north wraith]

the one on the roku tv?

[velvet marsh]

I would never buy a roku tv

[nova ingot]

My workflow currently is to just have them “find the date they posted on social media” and then cross reference it using binary search for an approximate time on when the event occurred and try to dig it up from the drive

[north wraith]

tbh it was a pretty good deal back when I got one

[velvet marsh]

I'm just too picky about my tvs lol. I would go smaller before I went with a roku

[nova ingot]

Roku was great. At this point considering Apple once my box dies out. As for the Roku TV it was a good deal for the time as it always finds itself in another room every few weeks

[north wraith]

fair Idk what your use case it so yeah

[velvet marsh]

well tcl had a couple okay roku tvs a few years back, but now they're just meh

[nova ingot]

If it sat in one place for years then sure.

[north wraith]

Yeah Roku tv from OG apple tv user here too

[velvet marsh]

I've also spent probably 10-15k on tvs

[nova ingot]

But for a “one plug solution” Roku is great. We aren’t living in the “bring the power strip to play the vhs on the crt” anymore.

[north wraith]

this was also a "for the folks" buy too

[velvet marsh]

Ah yeah makes sense.

[nova ingot]

Unless

[north wraith]

Yeah personally my xbox is still my steaming device of choice I guess but if/when it dies I wouldn't mind getting a streaming stick from them

I tried the Amazon one and it has too many ads and such imo

[velvet marsh]

I use a shield tv for streaming

[north wraith]

oh nice

gaming stuff too? I imagin?

[velvet marsh]

It supports the most from Plex, I do most of my gaming on my pc, or on my steam deck

[grim belfry]

Still one of the best streaming "sticks?"

[nova ingot]

My grandmother has a 4K 52 inch Roku TV bought on Black Friday. It’s connected to a ATT uverse box, and fortunately Roku has it configured so if its power cycled it defaults to HDMI 1.
One day her grandkid used the Roku feature to watch Netflix and she didn’t know how to set it back and wanted me to get on a plane from Spain to fix it.

[velvet marsh]

Yeah for Plex definitely, if you're not tho, the chromecast with google tv is great, and so is the Apple Tv

[north wraith]

@nova ingot lol I feel this.

[nova ingot]

I will fix your TV in 2 days for $1200.

[grim belfry]

Apple TV and Shield Pro are the winners imo

[north wraith]

Hopefully you could walk her though on the phone?

[velvet marsh]

Yeah I have the shield pro

[north wraith]

Apple tv is nice if you have the money

[nova ingot]

Literally press the red button on the remote that says Roku on it. Then press it again 4 seconds later

[velvet marsh]

My main tv

[north wraith]

I personally don't watch enough tv to justify apple tv nor have a tv good enough to use it if I did lol

[vapid smelt]

why only 83

[nova ingot]

Question though. Is it weird but somewhat natural to say “input the code 1300 on your remote to watch Fox News”

[velvet marsh]

The issue with Apple tv is it doesn't support some codecs

[velvet marsh]

was the biggest reasonable oled at the time

next size up was like 20k

[north wraith]

Not Fox news!

well I guess you did say Grandma so that tracks

[nova ingot]

But Fox is the most popular channel and thus the most correct one based on viewers /s

[north wraith]

Not casting jugment I am sure shes a lovely grandma

[grim belfry]

https://www.statista.com/statistics/530119/tv-networks-viewers-usa/

[vapid smelt]

....

[velvet marsh]

Wasn't available when I got this

[north wraith]

bruh I would just get a projector at that point if I wanted size

[nova ingot]

I made the mistake referring to the channel number on my grandmothers Uverse to “inputting a code on the remote” and my aunt lost her 💩 and thought I intentionally used some hacker stuff to lock her out of her channel when it was really that she turned her tv from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and had to redo her settings.

[velvet marsh]

That is the best looking tv on the market right now, no projector touches it

Microled is the future

[north wraith]

yeah I bet but I dont have that many sig figs in my bank account

[nova ingot]

Also I’m pretty sure majority of people here has inputted a channel number this decade on their own device

[velvet marsh]

Yeah, if I wanted size I'd probably get the 100" Hisense U8, it's a reasonable 3500 atm

[north wraith]

If they watch cable tv

or whatever

[nova ingot]

Cable TV is a babysitter at this point

[grim belfry]

I have 6 figures in my bank account ||Don't worry about that little minus before the numbers||

[north wraith]

lol

thats just one of the figures!

[nova ingot]

But I’m just glad she’s not on the internet per se

[north wraith]

oh yeah

[nova ingot]

The whole “internet is for everyone” has never dealt with someone who gets angry with HDMI settings

[north wraith]

... You say that

Fucking HDMI settings

[nova ingot]

Or the difference between a TV tuner and HDMI connected to a cable box

[north wraith]

The whole “internet is for everyone” should never dealt with someone who gets angry with HDMI settings

how did I spend hours chatting on here

this is like my version of tiktok

[nova ingot]

Reminds me of people who trash on entry level employees or service industry but never worked in the field

[north wraith]

[pliant echo]

prettyyyy sickk

[north wraith]

I fogot who orginally had the idea but I like the concept of manditory service industry empolyment like how some have for miltary

[nova ingot]

In theory that’s community service requirements for some high schools but it’s different when your counting time vs doing it for money as an incentive with the overhead of getting fired as a possibility

[grim belfry]

Some people are just arseholes, too

[grim belfry]

[fierce moth]

funny thing is, they're just sending it to a sony approved repairer

[grim belfry]

Why do you think that's strange?

[fierce moth]

cause sony could of easily accepted my warranty repair, yet didnt

while the store did it without fuss

Hi guys, is Fera 5 enough to cool 12600KF? I will be doing some CPU intensive tasks like recording audio and using quite a lot of plugins on audio tracks

Oh into LMG. No idea

[hearty spear]

What investigation are you referring to?

if it's the Madison investigation, there's been nothing released yet
And may or may not have anything released, depending on what's in it / terms of any discussion / contracts / settlements
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1565252-results-of-internal-review-and-outside-investigation-“-what-do-we-do-now”/

[buoyant locust]

anyone know why within 3 seconds of plugging in my acer nitro laptop nitrosense the cpu temp jumps from 45 degrees celcius to like 91

oh im in public chat

[hearty spear]

but if any contracts / settlement terms say they can't do that, they will be unable to do that.

[coarse rain]

Well guess im never watching ltt again if we dont get a response

[hearty spear]

That's your call. A lot of things like this involve NDAs and breaking those is a bad thing.

so, what happens happens, and we may or may not find out

[shut lichen]

I guess you should avoid literally every other company then lol

[manic torrent]

I'm never watching LTT again! Storms out

[hearty spear]

*but doesn't leave the LTT Discord

[manic torrent]

I will watch twice as much LTT to make up for it dude, and my watches count for more because premium

[hearty spear]

to give them extra $, just make a playlist of LTT's longest non-livestreams, and turn that on anytime you leave your computer

OH

Also make sure you include the April Fools "All Sponsor Spots" video

who asked

[austere shale]

I’m so tired of the emissions garbage on my new car, about to just buy an aftermarket ECU and call it a day. Trying to get a tune is miserable, some companies have what I want but won’t delete emissions crap, others will delete emissions crap but don’t have what I want

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like #cars to me

[austere shale]

Nah, public

[graceful burrow]

Gander at the channel description real quick tho

There's a reason it says public and not general lol

[grim belfry]

I hate when the sky isn’t full of smog!

[austere shale]

Because of my location I’m not required to do emissions testing anyways, that’s why my diesel vw can get away with a 3 inch straight pipe and a smoke tune

this a mistake?? Free TV with the new snapdragon samsung laptop

[eager notch]

In the folder labeled "definitely not prawn"

[grim belfry]

No Samsung often does stuff like that, usually galaxy watches

[eager notch]

This is a essentially a basic 50 inch TV that goes on promo at Walmart for $199.99, not something fancy like an OLED or something

[meager steppe]

oooh ok

[alpine gale]

Indeed. If you're on a super tight budget, tis fine, otherwise it's e-waste the moment it leaves the factory.

[meager steppe]

Could be a reserve present for somebody
Planning on giving it to my mom who's still using a 40" 1080p Samsung from 2016(maybe idk)

it literally says free tv on us

[meager steppe]

idc about that, it's literally `${offer[i].title} on us`, so a mistake would still say "on us"

[runic cobalt]

could ask samsung customer support

it doesn't seem super unreasonable

[urban thistle]

The first time I get an AliExpress ad

Hello, how is everyone doing?

[alpine gale]

They're not all bad. For example, many TCL and Hisense TVs work decently enough for people on a budget or who don't otherwise see the need to spend big bucks on a fancy pants TV. But also... Many $199 department / grocery store specials end up being more of a headache than they're worth.

Oh @rare otter one thing I will say is idk what AI you used to make the clip but AI art as far as I know has a lot of "ethical baggage" to put it lightly you might already know about it and stuff but if you didn't would be good to look into if you wanted to use this in anything more then just hobby and stuff.

Just felt I should say that since I know a lot of artist who feel VERY STRONGLY about the subject.

[rare otter]

Nah.lowkey I'm just experimenting

And I only use it for visualizers music

[north wraith]

It was a cool vid though I wonder why it made two of you? twords the end there.

AI art shows you the soul really does exist

AI art shows me some people are too lazy to hire/commission an artist.

like i swear to god 1 in 4 products i see have ai art plastered on them.

[rare otter]

I can't man

I don't got a bank account setup

And I can't draw because I got bad nerves in my hand

So like.this is literally my only option

[coral pulsar]

only if that's the case.

Also I just like the way visualizers with ai look

So chances are even if I did have a bank account setup

I would still be using ai

I use it over a gigabit Ethernet link it’s actually pretty great in my experience

[gentle slate]

Soo... it doesnt work well with wifi... Making it completely worthless for when I'm travelling with my laptop

[full fossil]

I mean it can work I use a wifi 6 ap that is pretty inexpensive that I’ve tested and although it’s very noticeablely worse it’s useable

[manic torrent]

I use moonlight over wifi and it works fine - you will need wifi 6 though

jitter on wifi 6 vs 5 is HUGELY improved

now, it will depend on specs etc absolutely

[full fossil]

This isn’t a valve problem either lmfao, wifi simply isn’t all that good for consistency

[gentle slate]

it did work for a bit but there was insane delay

[full fossil]

That’s wifi for you

[manic torrent]

I literally play FPS at 3440x1440 using moonlight/sunshine over wifi

There is no "insane delay" inherent in it, it's in your setup

[full fossil]

I’m speaking generally to people who don’t have wifi 6 aps

I use one it’s fine lol

[gentle slate]

time to buy a wifi 6 router and carry it around with me

Make sure your laptop supports wifi ax as well or it won’t do you any good

An outside company said these motors can’t be rebuilt, it’s literally just a bunch of planetary gears that needed to get the corrosion brushed out of it and re-greased

Also the 3 plastic gears when everything else is metal is engineered obsolescence

[tender wyvern]

Does anyone know how to fix "When the meeting starts, we'll let people know you're waiting"? on Microsoft Teams?
I'm meant to be in a meeting with my tutor rn

[covert cradle]

That's expected behavior when you join a meeting that you weren't invited to (getting a link doesn't necessarily imply an invite). The host gets a message to admit or reject you

[tender wyvern]

I have a meeting with this person at the same time every Tuesday during the university term for 2 years. She has never ever been late to a single meeting and I am confident she would never reject me.

[covert cradle]

I didn't say they rejected you. The fact that you still see that message means they've neither admitted nor rejected you yet

[tender wyvern]

This is the first time she's missed it in 2 years

I hope she's not dead or something

[covert cradle]

[tender wyvern]

Very out of character for the teacher but oh well

[covert cradle]

Did you accidentally join on the wrong account?

[tender wyvern]

Nah

[covert cradle]

The reverse could also happen, the teacher may have invited the wrong account

Though either way, the teacher would probably just admit whatever account you used if it's recognizably you

[tender wyvern]

These sessions are compulsory so I just hope I dont get into trouble as it was supposed to be from :40-:00

And now it's :01 which is someone else's time slot

[covert cradle]

The fact that you attempted to join will be permanently in the logs

Including a timestamp, so I'm sure you're fine in that regard

[tender wyvern]

Should I leave the meeting or stay in incase the teacher is running super late

[covert cradle]

[tender wyvern]

just got admitted in and for some reason there's 2 other people in this 1-1 meeting and she's just not talking

bizzare

idk wtf is happening

anyway bye

[covert cradle]

Bye

I think for the 2025 pc build guide, linus should just read the motherboard manual.

Because honestly a pc is just a Lego set. Read the manual and put the right thing in the right hole and you're done. That's how I built my first, watched all those pc building guides but in the end when I got it, I just read the manual and it was easier than building an ikea table

[covert forge]

All I used https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/gaming/resources/how-to-build-a-gaming-pc.html

[night linden]

Actually no, he should go to a nursing home and give an 80 year old a manual and have them build a pc

They like puzzles, right?

[covert forge]

Ironically you don’t need more

[night linden]

Wow I never knew intel put so much effort into their marketing

But I'd still prefer the motherboard manual

[covert cradle]

Manuals aren't foolproof either. My brother's motherboard manual had a mirrored image describing which slots to put the two dimms in. It did say the correct slot identifiers, but if you tried to follow the pictures you'd put the ram in the wrong slots.

[lavish narwhal]

Times must’ve changed

It used to make 1000 bitcoin

[covert cradle]

BTC mining has a "difficulty" that increases over time. The reward also halves every 210k transactions. It's down to 3.125BTC (+fees, which is variable but roughly 0.1BTC). It started at 50BTC with very low difficulty. BTC was also worthless during those early days though

[lilac bear]

just download more RAM

[carmine oasis]

There are / were people filling entire shipping container(s) with mining rigs purely to mine crypto. Times have definitely changed from the days where you could mine even a single bitcoin at home

[night linden]

Or go steal ram from old computers people throw away

You can find ddr3, ddr4 if you're lucky

[night linden]

Well then I'd say don't buy from that brand again, but I guess anyone could make that mistake

But he also should be reading the whole manual.

[covert cradle]

Imo it's not that big of a deal to scorn a brand over. Asus was the brand and there are bigger issues than that with that brand lmao

[night linden]

Well my point still stands, you know the hole Asus dug themselves

[summer folio]

Noctua & their 100$ buckaroonies 120mm fans for your desk

Not even traditional shit brown, looks like any average joe fan???

Noctua really went downhill since they did the Sellout & started selling screwdrivers threw Linus

Stick to your lane, Noctua

[candid vessel]

hey guys

[spare crystal]

The crappy stream grows ever nearer, stole a mouse as old as me from schools it department (they were binning it anyway(

Im planning to get one of the horrible Xbox 360 mics

Definitely need some game recommendations though. Any of you got any?

[graceful burrow]

Xbox 360 game recommendations?
Do you mean to play online or just in general

[spare crystal]

Let me explain sorry I didn't do the best job

[night linden]

I think Noctua went downhill when they made their fans not fit in a single build. (Excluding the Noctua build)

Unless they specifically designed it for people that have wooden cases and they needed a fan good enough to combat how bad wood is with heat.... that has to be it

[spare crystal]

I'm making a twitch account playing games from the 2000s using all y2k or just shitty peripherals

[graceful burrow]

I respect it

[night linden]

What's y2k

[spare crystal]

Year two thousand

[graceful burrow]

You could just get all razer peripherals in that case all they make is shitty products lmao

[night linden]

My 2005 keyboard is the best keyboard ever made

Ps2 connection to compensate for the non mechanical latency

[graceful burrow]

They never said all products from the era were bad...

[spare crystal]

I'm trying to get the most dogshite ewaste from that era

[night linden]

And best feeling ever

[spare crystal]

Tis the point

[night linden]

Nah you need to get the top quality products from that era for the ultimate sleeper build

[spare crystal]

I'm poor

Fifteen year old kid brub

[night linden]

They're probably only $30 though

[night linden]

Ask your grandparents, that's where I got my favorite laptop and favorite keyboard

[spare crystal]

I have no sustainable income

[spare crystal]

My grandma is 75

[night linden]

Yeah mines like 68

Just ask her anyway if she has any old computer keyboard

[spare crystal]

My mum is 5 years younger than your nan 💀

[night linden]

Or any old laptop that doesn't work

[spare crystal]

Will do but I doubt it, tah

[spare crystal]

Believe me I have lots of those

[night linden]

Just try it

[night linden]

Good, did you fix them all?

[spare crystal]

Working on iit

[night linden]

If broken hard drive just use Linux on a USB drive

[spare crystal]

Frrr

[night linden]

For broken display just reseat the display cable

[spare crystal]

Dead batteries are my main issue

[harsh quartz]

Or just buy a 20$ hard drive

[spare crystal]

I have two working drives with a tb

[night linden]

The connector is broken and I'm garbage at soldering

I have a spare working connector but I need better gear

I'm using solder for pipes currently... not electronics

[spare crystal]

Do not own a soldering iron 🙏

[night linden]

And my soldering iron is bought for 10 cents at an estate sale

[spare crystal]

When shit breaks I use tape and prayers

[night linden]

Get one at a yard sale or estate sale then

[spare crystal]

That is a uniquely American thing

[night linden]

You can get stuff for stupid cheap, especially at estate sales when the guy has no idea what they are or what they're worth

[spare crystal]

We have car boot sales but as I mentioned

[night linden]

Then try that

[spare crystal]

I am a child with no means of transport

Praying for charity shops to have stuff

[night linden]

Submit a parental transportation request

[spare crystal]

Fair point but they don't get the grind

[night linden]

Yeah same.

I'm just glad my mom doesn't know solder has lead

[spare crystal]

I pray for the day my parents old laptop dies ‼️

Soon ‼️

[night linden]

Good luck on that

[night linden]

Dude it's a laptop

[spare crystal]

Oh yeah I have like four of them

They work with laptops? Use externally

[harsh quartz]

Oh, sorry.

[spare crystal]

Or get a usb adapter

[night linden]

Also I don't even have enough sata connectors for my desktop pc, microcenter is too far

[harsh quartz]

That wasn’t sata, that was Esata

[night linden]

Oh hell no, that's worse than using a USB drive for the os

[night linden]

Well the point is I can't get new components easily

[spare crystal]

I use one of those as my main storage 💀

[harsh quartz]

I used to :p

[spare crystal]

It's not that bad

[night linden]

And I have 8 USB drives on my keychain

[harsh quartz]

It’s pretty bad

[spare crystal]

I've never had anything good so I can't tell the difference

Poor lmao

[night linden]

Valid, I used to think I had a good laptop and then my 2011 pc with a i5 4th gen and ATI 6350 HD beat it

[harsh quartz]

I went from an FX series 2 core with a 5400rpm drive to a am4 with an m.2 NVME drive and holy shit it was insane, boot time went from like 20 minutes to 2 seconds

[night linden]

Now I use a 3070 tho so it's so hard to go back

And I broke the 6350 and regularly cry about it

Beat value GPU ever, MSRP was $23

If that thing still sold today, I bet everyone would buy it because it easily tops all integrated graphics for the same price as all integrated graphics

[spare crystal]

I have only ever had school computer usage. Fitted it with a 1080, and that's my current system. Uses m.2 for the boot but all major files are on a tb hdd

[night linden]

At least it was faster than loasing rust, that's what you have to remember

I once pressed join server on rust, went to eat dinner for 30 minutes, and it just finished loading as soon as I got back

[eager notch]

OOOOH, new SPICY power supplies!!!

[spare crystal]

I need to buy rust man

[night linden]

At this point just put a microwave attachment in your pc, the 1600W PSUs have enough for it easily

[eager notch]

It's a gigabyte PSU

[night linden]

Okay but won't it just cook faster?

And it's perfect if you like your meat flame grilled

[spare crystal]

Indoors exclusive gamer kitchen. Perfect for the mother's basement

"make your own goddamn pizza rolls!"

[eager notch]

Doesn't that mean it's only single use?

[night linden]

Yeah I guess

[spare crystal]

Comes with RGB and ray tracing lmao

[night linden]

Ah yes, raytraced pizza rolls, it's called real life

[spare crystal]

Atp they're just gonna make no leave housey gamers a full condo in their gaming rig

[eager notch]

They don't call it a fan grill for nothing

My 5700X is only getting in the low 9000s on Geekbench 6 for multi core, but other 5700Xs are getting somwhere between the low and mid 10000s. Would upgrading my cooler from what is basically a stock cooler to something like a PS120 help it? Or is there some bios setting I forgot to change(yes I enabled DOCP and the ASUS EZ TUNING thingy to ASUS OPTIMAL)

[zinc oracle]

I oced mine and got 12543 hehe

[hearty spear]

uhhhh, the 5700x doesn't come with a stock cooler

[crystal light]

I have a Cooler Master A71c

[strange elk]

"What is basically a stock cooler"

[hearty spear]

ahh, so you have a piece of crap. Yeah, that's kinda garbage for a Ryzen 7.

What are your temps during geekbench?

[strange elk]

How the hell is that even running

[hearty spear]

CPUs thermal throttle rather than die. Because AMD and Intel know users do dumb shit.

[strange elk]

Quite literally a Wraith but a ufo

[crystal light]

They seem to max out at 65c but usually stay between 55 and 60

[harsh quartz]

If it took 20 minutes to load windows, I don’t want to know how long it would’ve taken to load rust

[hearty spear]

and what're your CPU Speeds, because on that cooler that sounds.... really lower than it should be

[crystal light]

In megaherz?

[strange elk]

Meanwhile I'm undervolting a 5800x with a Kraken X53 and I'm still hitting 90 on stress tests

[hearty spear]

yes

[crystal light]

Without ASUS Optimal turned on it seems to be all over the place, from 2.2 to 4.6 with no predictability, but with it turned on it stabilizes at 3.6, very rarley dipping down into the 2000s

[hearty spear]

yeah that sounds like you've got some /very/ bad motherboard settings

it should boost to 4.6

and setting somewhere in the 3.8-4.2 range once it's heat soaked, unless the cooler is an issue at those speeds

it shouldn't be in the 2 ghz range, unless there's something really wrong

[crystal light]

Really? I reset my bios just a few days ago, then just turned on ASUS Optimal and DOCP

[hearty spear]

if it's sitting at 3.6 on a 4.6ghz chip, that's not "optimal"

[crystal light]

Is it my cooler or my settings?

[strange elk]

"Optimal" settings to motherboard manufacturers aren't great usually from what I understand.

[hearty spear]

at 60c, it's not the cooler

[strange elk]

Especially Asus lately

[harsh quartz]

Depends on the manufacturer but they try to keep it “safe”

[hearty spear]

but that cooler is absolutely not up to a ryzen 7 at full tilt

[hearty spear]

the opposite:
They've been frequently pushing chips so hard that they're a significant portion of the intel instability thing right now

[strange elk]

"safe" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbGfc-JBxlY

[hearty spear]

basically what you /should/ see with ideal behavior (and an underperforming cooler)
Start Test -> Jumps to 4.6 GHz
CPU Thermal Limits at ~90c

CPU Downclocks itself to keep temps under 90c, but as high as they can handle at 85-90c range

[crystal light]

How much would staying in the 80s hurt my CPU's lifespan?

[strange elk]

It shouldnt stay there

But it should be ok for the most part

[crystal light]

What would change if we have something like a PS120 cooler?

[graceful burrow]

80c?
Wouldnt hurt it at all

Its fine if it stays there

[hearty spear]

most likely it would still run longer than the CPU is relelvant, and longer than the motherboard lasts.

[crystal light]

Have I been lied to or something?

[hearty spear]

that's a MUCH better cooler.

[graceful burrow]

Yes lol

[hearty spear]

there's a lot of people who make claims that don't have good information to back it up.

[strange elk]

90c is bad, avoid it. But its not completely unsafe to be there sometimes.

[wispy marsh]

80C is dangerous
