im using pixel fold wihtout being old lol

[ionic abyss]

well if i throw my phone at you well it would hurt

the case and phone weight almost 2lbs

[grim belfry]

Hmmm

[ionic abyss]

or more

[stoic beacon]

They're one of the standard phones where I work. Far too useful for multitasking and showing clients things when a laptop isn't available

[dusty latch]

or watching llt during diner

[grim belfry]

What industry are you in/what do you do?

[stoic beacon]

Game development, specifically tech outsourcing for publishers

[grim belfry]

Ah I see

[ionic abyss]

https://supcase.com/products/iphone-13-pro-max-6-7-inch-unicorn-beetle-pro-rugged-case-black

good cheap iphone 13 pro max case

used that brands cases on more than one phone

[long briar]

yup.
the other one survived, this one didn't.

[dusty latch]

or just buy plastic phones

[grim belfry]

About the same as no case probably

[long briar]

nono it's not me it's EAP

[grim belfry]

When you dropped your phone and the back cover and battery went flying everywhere

[ionic abyss]

learn to buy cheaper cases

supcase makes good cases

[long briar]

the case that is equivalent to no case survived (Apple Hard clear case)

[ionic abyss]

i also like lifeproof

[dusty latch]

easier to pick up back cover and battery than shattered glass 😄

[lilac bear]

caseify is a literal rip off

[long briar]

wait I have a really funny picture give me a second

[lilac bear]

just go on AliExpress

[ionic abyss]

ouch

[long briar]

I was testing out the cheap Oneplus phone (N10 5G) and the camera bump fell out

the back and frame are plastic

[dusty latch]

look like you will get brighter photos

[ionic abyss]

that is bad luck

[long briar]

This is why I don't care about whether a phone is plastic or not anymore

plastic means shock will go through the entire phone and the weak point will suffer the most

so the weawk point here is a camera bump that fell off

and dust got under the actual camera lens

[ionic abyss]

just rember if you get a ipad get a case

[lilac bear]

what about titanium

[dusty latch]

still more useful than shattered screen tbh

[long briar]

I haven't broken a glass sandwich phone since my s6 edge back in 2016 (used for about a year)

[dusty latch]

same and without ever using a case

[long briar]

oh yea another one

[dusty latch]

flexing that diamond hands

[grim belfry]

Especially with the new laminated lcds

[long briar]

I don't think a case is as neccesary as just any folio

magnetic ones should do just fine because they usually have a layer of metal or smth stiff to keep its shape while attached to the iPad

I'm probably getting the air 13" in the summer

I am thinking of switching to arc

Looks interesting

[calm swan]

its nice

[compact trout]

Have you tried it on Mac or windows?

[calm swan]

windows

[compact trout]

Oh nice

[grim belfry]

The mac version is much better atm

[dusty latch]

its not free, you have to log in and sell all your data lmao

[compact trout]

I have it downloaded but never got the chance to us it

[compact trout]

That's why I made a fake account

[calm swan]

its a bit different from firefox/chrome but overall its pretty good

way more space than just using vertical tabs on edge

[dusty latch]

do you login to anything else on that fake account, like social media? then it's not fake anymore

[calm swan]

only thing i didnt like about arc was i didnt have easy access to the chromium engine settings

[compact trout]

Don't use much social media on my pc

[golden talon]

rumor has it that 16 pro & 16 pro max will get the same graphite cooling system sa the new M4 ipad pro im hyped

[compact trout]

I am not logged into my Google account, any social media

Idk what else I use now tbf

Mostly just web searching/ sailing the seas

[sharp bobcat]

I mean tbf you have discord account

[compact trout]

But I use the app

[sharp bobcat]

but understandable

[compact trout]

arc://settings no?

[compact trout]

I mean what doesnt Microsoft or Google have of me

They probably already know my whole life

[grim belfry]

[compact trout]

They soon know

In like 20years

Ok prob in like 10yrs but yh

[calm swan]

my brain remembered this when i realized it was chromium based

[hoary steppe]

Same lools great, need more features for win 11

[hoary steppe]

Lmao

I think he meant a throw away acc

[compact trout]

Ye this

yea, but if you log on any site using main account on that site, it doesn't matter, you are being fingerprinted immediately.
Too bad almost everything that is free tracks you

[sharp bobcat]

random thought, can I just say that my interest with the snapdragon laptops went downhill
not because of the device, it IS probably going to deliver, but guess what's making me went 😐 with those

[grim belfry]

What

[sharp bobcat]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/854706007854546944.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[grim belfry]

Run linux

[sharp bobcat]

after the recent ms announcement stream, pretty much this push for ARM device and Windows on ARM should happen on 10 lifecycle. Hell, probably before 11 existence

[grim belfry]

It's just branding

[sharp bobcat]

and not like, oh we're gonna have this and that it's coming soon, but like, actually fleshed out

because I AM NOT using the new windows 11 build on those snapdragon laptops. I'd rather slap Tiny11 on it or Tiny10 if possible

[grim belfry]

Why?

[sharp bobcat]

but nope, gotta have the new keylogger and all the AI bloats

[grim belfry]

You can turn it off

[sharp bobcat]

we could've gotten debloater and tweaker for windows arm had WoA fleshed out long before this

[sharp bobcat]

more like turning half of its functionality off, it's not fully turned off

[grim belfry]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/privacy-and-control-over-your-recall-experience-d404f672-7647-41e5-886c-a3c59680af15

[dusty latch]

Turned off doesn't always mean really turned off, and if packages sill exist, they can be exploited in some way.
Just look at apple, delete button doesn't really delete stuff

[pearl quiver]

didn't Linus say specifically in the video that Arc Browser has encrypted sync and then in the chart it shows it does not?

[grim belfry]

https://resources.arc.net/hc/en-us/articles/22513842649623-Arc-for-Windows-2023-2024-Release-Notes#:~:text=Arc Sync is end-to,devices that have previously synced.

The table is wrong, Linus is correct

[pearl quiver]

yeah i thought so

is there a formal way to point out errors in the videos?

i know they formed that team

[grim belfry]

afaik the best you can do is description/pinned comment, or chop out a part of the video

[long briar]

no you can edit it using the voiceover tool in youtube studio iirc

[grim belfry]

Ah there you go

[long briar]

oh wait nvm the graphic is unchangable

[grim belfry]

Oh yeah true

[long briar]

Linus said the correct thing, that's all you can do

[solemn axle]

Arc was laggy on Windows on my machine, personal experience may not correspond with yours, anyway i would take Thorium over it since its UI is more sane personally

[covert cradle]

iiuc, it's half right. If you're using iCloud sync on macOS Arc, it wouldn't really be "end-to-end" encrypted unless your Apple account also has advanced protection enabled or w/e apple calls it. For windows the only option is the end-to-end encrypted Arc Sync though

[pearl quiver]

i think they already deprecated icloud sync

or they will soon

[covert cradle]

The docs imply it's still the default on macOS

I don't use Arc nor own a macOS device for that matter so I can't tell if it's true or not

[lilac bear]

should have gotten the Google Pixel 8 Pro

[turbid trellis]

I can't find online some form of ATX psu that integrates UPS functionality on the DC side. I currently have a separate AC UPS however would like a smaller LiFePO4 that could power my PC for a minute or so to shut down in a power outage. I know pico psu have solutions for low power OEM type computers but haven't found something that could support a gaming PC
Anyone else thought about this problem or can think of any solutions?

[grim belfry]

Why do you not want the UPS on the AC side?

[turbid trellis]

I want the UPS on the DC side, I currently have it on the AC side and it feels inefficient

[frosty forum]

hi

[covert cradle]

You could look into ATX PSUs intended for boats and campers. They will have 24-48V DC inputs, but they tend to be on the smaller side and often only provide the ATX 24-pin connection and at most a sata power connector.

[lavish kelp]

Cuz I turned my pc on and the monitor isn’t showing anything even though it’s on the right hdmi and everything

[grim belfry]

https://hdplex.com/hdplex-800w-dc-atx-with-12v-63vdc-input.html 800w with PCIe connectors

5.25 bay UPS

[turbid trellis]

Yea that's the issue I often come across, my gcard needs more power and I have a fairly powerful CPU

[turbid trellis]

Very expensive! Might go DIY

[grim belfry]

Yeah haha

That 800w dc-dc is $360usd

[turbid trellis]

I saw this while researching, I think I got stuck on how to connect the DC input

and yea also super expensive

so I currently run off AC power, however in future I hope to tie into an off grid solar installation directly off DC, but keep UPS functionality incase I need to switch back to AC, upgrade/maintain/power down my DC system etc.

[grim belfry]

I see

[turbid trellis]

I'm surprised a product doesn't exist where the PSU space within the chassis is used for batteries and DC-DC UPS, and the actual AC-DC PSU is external like with laptops. That way it would be easy to switch AC, DC etc. with the PC running, protect against blackouts/brownouts/surges etc.

[grim belfry]

Redundant power supplies usually solve that problem, but obviously not in your case

[golden talon]

a battery pack with controllers the size of an average ATX power supply would keep a pc under load supplied for like 15-20 seconds

[turbid trellis]

Yea a redundant power supply also protects against the PSU components failing which is a plus. My gaming PC is not mission critical but it would be cool to have, could you have one PSU on grid and one on DC off grid at the same time?

Most people don't consider a giant separate UPS, but a PSU with built in one minute or so UPS functionality would be an interesting product I think

[grim belfry]

Yes as for the top bit

[turbid trellis]

I would have thought a few minutes but maybe you have more info than me

[rocky knot]

I will now spend the next many days migrating to non google or MS services 😛

[jaunty cove]

YALL ROCK WIT DIS TAKE⁉️

[rocky knot]

(he says...contracted to ms)

[golden talon]

My 1500 VA ups keeps my server running at full tilt powered for less than 10 minutes and its bigger than my pc

[grim belfry]

@turbid trellis What size psu do you actually need?

[turbid trellis]

What batteries do PSUs typically have again? You have to replace them every few years whereas LiFePO4 can last 10,000 cycles
Do you believe that converting to AC high voltage and back down in your server PSU is better than trying to convert DC-DC?
I like toplime's suggestion of having regular AC PSU in parallel with a DC-DC PSU from an off grid battery/solar where you can hot swap power source by choice or by one failing

[turbid trellis]

Enough to switch sources/shut down typical PC

[grim belfry]

I meant what wattage psu sorry

[turbid trellis]

however with dual PSU like you suggest I need no UPS at all because my solar batteries can act as UPS

[grim belfry]

I think this is the only way you could do this without spending $1000+

[crystal flare]

glad to see the Madison situation has been resolved.

[golden talon]

It's a brand new UPS bought 2 weeks ago, im like 90% sure it's LiPo or Nickel metal hydride but I can check when I'm home...

And yes I do 100% believe and agree that DC-DC is far more efficient but it's not going to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things when we're talking about a battery pack the size of a computer power supply... it'll add a minute or so of runtime but not much more.

[covert cradle]

The heat in a case would also be quite bad for the batteries in the long-term

[turbid trellis]

+1 minute is fantastic!

[turbid trellis]

Didn't consider that, good mention

[golden talon]

The ambient heat inside a computer is not a huge deal for the average modern battery, especially if it's configured like a desktop PSU that can pull air directly outside the chassis

We stuff these batteries in our hot ass gaming laptops

[lilac bear]

real

[grim belfry]

Yeah that makes it hard doesn’t it

[turbid trellis]

my SSD made it go up by 100Watts so idk lol

[golden talon]

The use cases that actually require these types of big UPS's are servers like mine, with max rated power draws well over 1000

Most other use cases don't consider them

[covert cradle]

Categorically false lol. We stuff these batteries in hot ass laptops because we have to. Laptop cooling is designed to avoid exhausting air anywhere near the batteries lol.
https://www.nature.com/articles/srep12967

If you have the option to not put a battery in a hot environment, don't put it in the hot environment

[golden talon]

Okay; this still doesn't really refute what I've said about cooling being a nonissue in this case

Pull cold air from outside the chassis, easy

[golden talon]

Not like the batteries are being used 99% of the time, when the entire point of them is for them to be a standby backup

[turbid trellis]

this other site estimates 384W, but that is average wattage I think

[golden talon]

use pcpartpicker

[covert cradle]

The increased ambient temperature in the case is still going to contribute to the batteries constantly being above recommended temperature for li-ion

[golden talon]

barely

Operating temperatures are given as -20 to 60 C for the average lithium batteries while discharging

[covert cradle]

You got caught out spreading misinformation, just take the L and move on. Not sure why you're digging your whole deeper but go for it ig

[grim belfry]

You could get two dell psus, one 48v in one ac in and use something like this. Super sketchy tho

[golden talon]

Definitely spreading misinformation when a research paper right here reinforces what I say
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Optimal-operating-temperature-of-Li-ion-battery-26_fig3_327966044

[summer folio]

Microsoft buying Valve/Steam sounds pretty

[turbid trellis]

I prefer sketchy to overpriced, so this merges both inputs and makes sure the right amount of power gets to components? Do you have a link ❤️

[golden talon]

"constantly being above recommended temperature for li-ion" in a bigass PC case is laughable when theres a fan blowing right on the damn thing and it's not even being used 99% of the time

[covert cradle]

[golden talon]

is fake news

[grim belfry]

Gimme a sec

[golden talon]

Assuming you're looking at that bullshit 16 billion dollar deal Valve brings over half of that in revenue yearly

[covert cradle]

I recommend you actually read a paper you want to source. They conclude the maximum optimal temperature is 35°C. That's straight up the ambient temp in many parts of the world, without a PSU generating heat next to the battery and without the PC case producing a further increase in temp.

[golden talon]

If you knew anything about batteries, or even anything about what was discussed literally 10 minutes ago, you'd know that not only do tons of batteries run well above that temperature, but power supplies have their own intake and exhaust ecosystem separate from the airflow from the rest of the system. Furthermore the context provided suggested that the actual AC-DC power supply was external and not part of the PC, so another nonissue

[summer folio]

Rumor*

[golden talon]

rumor was shot down ages ago, do you have a link to that article

Read the conclusion of the paper lmfao. Not just some quote where they mention the manufacturer provided operating temperature range. I don't recommend linking things unless you read them, you'll get caught out providing a source that directly disproves you. Keep digging though, this is fun

[turbid trellis]

The batteries seem like a hot issue 🥁

[golden talon]

im convinced im arguing with gpt-5, the way bro is so confidentally goalpost moving

[jaunty cove]

I think some batteries don't over heat like my note10+ phone has never felt hot

what about the note 7

[jaunty cove]

never had that 1

[grim belfry]

That board wouldn't work unfortunately as it outputs 12v only

[golden talon]

unfortunate, i heard its a hot one

[turbid trellis]

my phone used to always overheat because I'd not butt dial, but butt turn the camera on, and it would be on in my pocket for like 1 hour taking up battery

@grim belfry could you combine with mini-box psu to get the other rails?

[covert cradle]

I haven't goal post moved at all. From the beginning it has been heat reduces battery longevity and exposing batteries to heat unnecessarily is wasteful.

@grim belfry Dream functionality but idk if right way of doing it. UPS can be omitted but would be super nice to have

[grim belfry]

@turbid trellis What I'm thinking now is that psu, ditch one of the modules and replace with

This 48V in could come from your solar batteries

[turbid trellis]

at this point I should make it look as ugly as possible and just own it 😛

[turbid trellis]

I just love how cool this one looks

[grim belfry]

Oooh

[turbid trellis]

It's easy to find a 240v AC to 48v DC PSU

but no redundancy

[grim belfry]

Yeah haha

[turbid trellis]

In my current situation I'm running on grid, but I will eventually move and build a larger off grid system and not really need the AC functionality, so would be good to just have it external from the PC

you can tell I am still deciding what I want

I hate the electricity grid, off grid power for the win

four of these cells should be able to power my PC setup for two days without sun

Hmm... You going completely off grid?

[turbid trellis]

I plan to

Four cells will probably power very basics but if I want a fridge/hotwater/induction cooking etc. gonna need way more

I currently have 400W solar and 1.5kwh battery which only powers monitors/laptop/usb devices/lighting

Have you tested how much can those bus bars handle?

Also what voltage ya messing with?

Was thinking about buying a used Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) for 50€. Has a Snapdragon 662 and 3GB RAM. Would install LineageOS on it. Any clue how usable would it be?

[vapid smelt]

only 3gbs of wam

[pale osprey]

Samsung tablets barley have a year of use in them the day they launch

[wise tundra]

I was told all mediatek sucks and to look for a Snapdragon and I looked as this model cause Lineage support

[wise tundra]

How much you think I'd need

[vapid smelt]

no clue but most phones come with 6gb

[manic torrent]

mild to moderate

I mean depending on use case it might be perfect

[wise tundra]

I'd be using it to watch Netflix, Home Assistant and OpenStreetMap

[alpine gale]

Unless someone here also just so happens to have LineageOS on the same tablet, XDA is where I'd check.

Sports is the way to go imo

Also social

sports are social activities that give you less liberty

then you need mates to do the sports with

I could use GPIO pins and a PWM timer to generate a 480p VGA image on a Raspberry Pi Pico. 480p VGA needs a 25MHz clock and the Pico runs at up to 133MHz so no issues there. There's a Pico with WiFi built in so that could be used to connect to the ssh server.

There are SPI keyboards around so that could work for typing

Oh there already is a PicoVGA library

to reduce noise

me when i use liquid cooling because its much quieter

I honestly DGAF if he hoards it. Being frugal is a virtue. However Asmongold is not virtuous. He lives amongst his own filth. With dirty clothes and body. That's not virtue. That's sloth

Admiring Asmongold for not being greedy just because he is sloth himself. Is just astounding to me.

Asmongold is not frugal. He is just lazy. There's a difference. He chooses the easiest path he is comfortable with.

[desert ivy]

Asmongold has some virtues. He is entertaining. And he does stream a lot. But he has many many many flaws.

[desert ivy]

Headband covers look horrible.. the ear pads well are easily replaceable and those will degrade on any headphone.

[keen cradle]

almost done cable managing and cleaning my setup

[desert ivy]

If you change the ear pads the sound signature will change slightly if you don't use the originals. But I wouldn't worry. It won't sound worse.

[shy kayak]

i still have the option to get a new pair as a free replacement but i heard sennheiser was changing some of the drivers in some of their headphones and it made them sound a fair bit different, but im not sure if that is just a rumour

[desert ivy]

Ah I have no idea. I would expect them to be better. But since they were acquired a while ago maybe not. However I doubt it's worse. It's a fairly old headphone

Hello! 👋

Hello

Has anyone tried one of the options in LTT de Google video?

[stoic beacon]

I live my life without Google, as have plenty others here...we've tried a lot of the options

[tranquil yacht]

Woah

[smoky badge]

Hello

[tranquil yacht]

I'm currently giving Proton, Floorp, and Brave search a crack.

Already transfered my Discord email to Proton

[desert ivy]

I use Immich for photo backup. But also use Google Photos. Immich is just for my Raw files.

[stoic beacon]

Proton is amazing, been using it for a while with the full plan, especially for their alias feature.

Firefox + DuckDuckGo will be superior to Brave in the long run.

[fervent swallow]

7800xt fyi is better

[tranquil yacht]

I'm thinking of checking it out once I'm doing with my account transfer. 👍

[desert ivy]

Always used Firefox as well. But I have no issue using Google products. I love Gmail, YouTube and my Pixel phone.

[desert ivy]

I have it set up on a second PC. You can install portainer and then run it there. Works great in Windows. If I need to access it securely on the internet I use a VPN.

[tranquil yacht]

I choose Floorp for more options in the settings and Brave search for it simplified options panel and the fact that it claims it doesn't use other search indexes. However, Firefox and duckduckgo search is also a great option.

[stoic beacon]

Brave claims a lot. In the past, it claimed it wasn't intercepting your data. That was a lie. They also have sketchy crypto stuff everywhere that I don't trust.

[desert ivy]

Everytime I tried other search engines they all suck balls compared to Google. It's not even close.

[stoic beacon]

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/ You also can check out this site, if you want to get deeper into it

[stoic beacon]

True. For work, I have to use Google. For personal stuff, DDG is more than enough

[zenith grotto]

Black or white? (I have other colors, these are the main two)

[tranquil yacht]

I believe the crypto was for the browser only. Though the interception thing is new to me. I'll see what other option that does use other indexes

[uncut parcel]

Can someone kick me put bc it won't let me leave

[stoic beacon]

I don't trust any company that encourages users to sell data for crypto, period.

[graceful burrow]

Real

[kindred tangle]

when did youtube introduced "Youtube playables", just noticed today

[tranquil yacht]

duckduckgo isn't 100% clean either tho, there was a kuffle back then when it was found ddg collects user data.

[desert ivy]

There's such animosity towards Google that everytime is brought up. There's just tons of people just coping if not right up lies. It's competition and it works. That's great. But it's search engine is just less sophisticated. And for some that's a good thing.

[tranquil yacht]

At least it wasn't as bad as Google.

[zenith grotto]

better than google by far

[desert ivy]

The danger of Google poses, isn't that they collect data, each of their products collect tiny amounts is just across how many areas they do so and how it adds up.

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I am under no illusions. I know that Google and Microsoft are superior in just about every technical way to their competition. I just don't really care if it means sacrificing the well being of society in the long term.

[fervent swallow]

firerfox on top

[desert ivy]

Duckduckgo would be exactly as dangerous if all data flowed through them.

Like a duckduckgo browser and duckducktube

[zenith grotto]

I trust ddg with my data IF they were to collect it. Google, well no

I literally almost always click "Yes, I want to share my data to improve products".

With the only exception being very small companies or companies I don't know about.

Or Chinese companies

Me who uses WeChat:

[stoic beacon]

If products actually improved, I might have at one point. Given that products only get worse over time now, and the data is instead used for preying on psychologically weak people...... Not a shot.

[inland mirage]

so 3090 is better than 4070

cant find a laptop with 3090

[desert ivy]

Not really

[tranquil yacht]

I think I'll continue to use Brave search in Floorp. So far I see nothing that turns me away yet. Tho I'll remain suspicious

[desert ivy]

I get why people say that. But I honestly think everything gets better. Even if sometimes the things we like disappear.

[stoic beacon]

I'm happy for you then

[desert ivy]

Happy for what

Go to tech support so someone teaches you how to use a computer.

SciShow 👀

GG bro

Hank Green

Imagine that video was a SciShow LTT collab

[austere shale]

Honestly the dating apps clip from the wan show is so based, going to the gym as a respectful guy is horrible. I can only count the ceiling tiles so many times before numbers aren’t real anymore

[graceful burrow]

I wear my apple headset when I go to the gym

I also grunt real loudly to assert dominance

And drink from a 5 gallon jug with a sippy cup top screwed on

[austere shale]

Sippy cup lids are underrated

[graceful burrow]

Filled with gin

There used to be a guy at my old gym who'd run around and ask to interrupt your set
And by run I mean he would do a half set then sprint to the next one across the room

He'd also actually grunt insanely loudly
Fuckin nuisance

[austere shale]

“Ask to interrupt your set” good sir by asking this question you already have

I stopped going to the gym gym for a bit there then my girlfriend and I started going to a rock climbing gym instead, we could just belay each other for a couple hours then go home

I started going after I got heart surgery and was therefore out of order for a couple months and lost 20 pounds I did not have to lose. But if you don’t have to or don’t want to then you’re not missing much by not going

[graceful burrow]

@austere shale what did you have heart surgery for

[austere shale]

I say “heart surgery” because it’s just easier. But essentially my sternum was resting on my heart and that was causing me a lot of chest pains and other issues, so they went in, broke all my ribs, broke my sternum, removed some stuff and put me back together with a bunch of titanium

[graceful burrow]

Dang
I'm still the only cyborg in chat

[austere shale]

I have a sick scar from it tho

What do you have?

[graceful burrow]

A pacemaker

Since I was 3 I have had a pacemaker, born with a heart defect diagnosed as AV Node Block

I'm on my fourth one

Even have my last one, they let me keep it

Here it is beating with the help of a little circuitry to visualize

[austere shale]

That’s awesome, I asked to keep my xyphoid process but they wouldn’t let me

Would I get in trouble for posting a CT cross section of my chest before surgery? I don’t think so but

[graceful burrow]

As long as there's no blood or gore or pictures of your insides at all I don't see why it would be

[graceful burrow]

Oh you have that indented chest thing goin on

[austere shale]

Yessir

Mine was just a little worse than most

[graceful burrow]

I'm guessing the mass inside is the heart

[austere shale]

Yea it is

[graceful burrow]

That shit is touching lmao

Mashed up against the wall

[austere shale]

It was kinda cool, you could see my heart beat through my chest, you still can now just not as much

[graceful burrow]

Personally wouldn't be super keen on that lmao

[austere shale]

The weirdest feeling thing ever was getting the drainage tube pulled out after surgery, didn’t realize there was 2+ feet of tubing just snaking its way around my insides, cant even really explain the feeling

[desert ivy]

I don't think it made much of an impression when I had my surgery. I slightly remember feeling weird, not painful but definitely not pleasant but maybe yours moved things differently.

[graceful burrow]

They woke me by yanking the intubation tube out of my throat
Which hurt so bad they put me on fent, morphine, and oxy

And then an hour after waking up we were on the road to home because we had to travel

[desert ivy]

The weirdest feeling was getting my wisdom teeth removed, the ones that were going straight came up in one quick swoop, it felt like watching a pimple under pressure being broken. Or idk like having a rock stock in your sole and remove it. Just weird.

[desert ivy]

Ah never mind I had a much minor surgery laparoscopy so probably much much different tubing

[dire blade]

No way, actual 60fps e-paper product? https://daylightcomputer.com/product

LTT has to do a review on that one to see if it’s a scam

Hello

[pliant leaf]

https://www.guru3d.com/story/microsoft-reportedly-readies-billion-bid-to-acquire-valve-steam/

How do journalists not feel bad posting BS like this

[desert ivy]

That's a 730 dollar preorder with a huge early adopter tax. Looks cool. But man do people love to gamble on tech hardware.

[pliant leaf]

There is NO WAY this is real, and there is even LESS way gaben will accept lmao

[desert ivy]

Based on what? You don't know him and he doesn't do a lot of interviews.

[pliant leaf]

1. You don't start a business valve unless you have a genuine love for games, and nobody who loves games thinks microsoft is anything but the devil
2. Steam is NOT worth 18 billion dollars lmao

It's at least 50 billion

With the entirety of valve attached

[graceful burrow]

It's also from leaked documents from years ago lol
This was never going to happen

The rumors themselves are severely outdated

[pliant leaf]

Yeah as i said, journalists

[graceful burrow]

Not to mention the courts would NEVER allow that

[graceful burrow]

Wish they'd get a real fuckin job

[fervent swallow]

in game its pushing good numbers

[graceful burrow]

What cpu/gpu

[fervent swallow]

13600kf+7700xt

[graceful burrow]

This in an active online game?

[fervent swallow]

yes

[graceful burrow]

Not bad

[pliant leaf]

If only it was good

[desert ivy]

1. It's a businesses not a charity. And the dude is 61. 2. No one knows how much is worth.

[fervent swallow]

its pretty good

[desert ivy]

Having said that I don't believe the rumors to be real. But what I believe less is that Gaben wouldn't sell just for love of videogames. He loves money first, is why Steam is so successful. Valve always do what gives them the more money.

It's like people forget that Gaben makes millions of dollars by selling lootboxes to teenagers.

[dry jungle]

Cpu

Desktop

[graceful burrow]

And what cpu
What platform
What chipset
What cooler
What temps are you getting
Like...

#1027757333117415424 if anything

[dry jungle]

Ryzen 7 5800x Windows 10 and the cooler is a NH-D15 my Cpu temps are avg but my motherboard temps are 127 which is prob just a faulty sensor

[desert ivy]

Elon Musk sells good, road tested cars is why people buy them. This is different

Just the best selling car in the world in 2023. Tiny company 🤦🏽

[golden talon]

Tesla is cool but not for me

I don’t like their build quality or their charging shenanigans

charging applies to all EVs

I also could do without range anxiety

[desert ivy]

I guess it depends where you live. The way I use a car I have more gas anxiety lol.

So who cares? They have the best selling car in the market. And not only that they cut 10k USD off the Models Y in 2024.

Stock is going down because EV market was over hyped. Tesla the company itself. Is still selling a shitload. And judging a semi luxury brand on Market Share is like just a bad take. The Market share is going down in EVs because there was no one close. But they are still selling more every year.

Because they had their best year in 2023. So even as it stands today, the chances of them still having the best selling car in 2024 is not bad.

But Tesla is dying right?

The year is not over the price cuts haven't made it's effect lol. Hahaha, your whole argument is based on a bad quarter????

Tesla has the best Car OS in the market. And their production line is innovative. They are a tech and robotics company. 🤦🏽

So what? Mentioning not successful products as proof of failure is just dumb. It's like saying Apple computers suck because the trash bin Mac..just low IQ take

So the company that sells the best car in the 2023. Is going to crumble because the stock is not going to grow?

That's not how companies work lol.

[fervent swallow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvFc_24vSM o no

to be fair, elon does end up delivering. it just takes a while

we finally got the cybertruck

[desert ivy]

Well I make my judgements based on sales and what I can see. Not on tantrums. I see they have the best Car OS, the best self driving system, the most innovative production and distribution facilities and the best sales of any single car.

And guess what? People are buying it lol

The Tesla Cybertruck is already very popular
Elon Musk's electric pickup truck is the second-best seller on the market, behind only the the Ford F-150 Lightning

Look it up 😂

Nothing you say makes sense. You judge companies on their wins and how much money they make. Not on the perceived success of other projects.

Yeah, the market changed. Grow stopped globally. So they halted their very aggressive expansion plans.

We are talking about Tesla. But all you say are tantrums about Elon Musk. Lol

Only to neckbeads and losers. To millions, the rest is just the CEO that made their car.

[fervent swallow]

um thats clearly a thing

ru slow

https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot

[desert ivy]

Is still the best self driving technology in the market.

[fervent swallow]

car drives it self

no?

auto pilot drives the car

making it self driving because it drives it self. english

im clearly reading what it does.

are u aware of the full self driving beta?

yes they do

https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-2CB60804-9CEA-4F4B-8B04-09B991368DC5.html

full self driving (supervised)

and when did he claim it would be out?

because clearly its in beta right now

i mean in some capactiy it did

and clearly we have it now

sounds like your coping

[fierce tinsel]

Does the Self Driving still switch itself off just before a crash so it gets recorded as driver in control?

[fervent swallow]

im speaking on what we have currently

[desert ivy]

Who cares? They are the leaders on that. And the people buy their car and have a high customer satisfaction.

[fervent swallow]

and he deliverd on that 💀

[fervent swallow]

and they have fsd as a feature

yes it can?

its supervised bro

yeah.. do u want a bunch of cars with no humans on the roads?

[desert ivy]

This moron is arguing on a technicality. The car requires supervision and cannot legally drive itself.

[fervent swallow]

exatly

i dont want a bunch of cars driving on the road with no human able to take emergcy action

Noooo it cannot

im a new driver.. the fsd is WAY better than me

[desert ivy]

Jesus Christ, when your mom's boyfriend teach you how to drive you'll know that's not true. Not by a longshot lol. Too many bad drivers out there.

[fervent swallow]

if children could drive better, why is my parents insuurance so high because of me?

using their logic. teslas with the FSD beta should have the highest insurance cost ever

[desert ivy]

And people don't stop either because if the car can't see it the person can't either.

[fervent swallow]

theirs so many sitautions where the car avoided an accident before a human could even think about responding

yes... they do

[desert ivy]

Lol hahahahaha. Now I know 100% you don't know how to drive hahaha

[fervent swallow]

.... how can u say something doesnt exist when the car littrely drives to you 💀

[karmic flame]

We dont need to argue about he said she said or what the definition of "Self Driving" is. every company will have there own definition of what self driving is.. This technology is in its infancy right now.

[desert ivy]

Everyone hits the curb several times when learning to drive. I blew a tire one time :3 and so did my sister. The Tesla wouldn't have.

[fervent swallow]

Lmafo I go to heavy on the gas

[steel marsh]

cybertruck so popular its not being sold in the eu nor uk

[spice pine]

i’ve seen more memes shitting on the stupid looking cybertruck than i’ve seen people claiming to own one

[fervent swallow]

Can a human drive across American with no interventions

[desert ivy]

It's so popular they can't make enough of them fast enough and go at exorbitant prices.

[fervent swallow]

The cyber truck is fire and cool looking

[graceful burrow]

That's cause only like 3800 were sent out

[fervent swallow]

Seems like Elon lives in your head rent free seeing how much you talk about him

[steel marsh]

they also alienated one of the largest ev buying countries not in the eu which is sweden because they wouldn't comply with swedish labour and trade unions

I watched a wislin desial video on the truck, it’s pretty durable

[graceful burrow]

Yo don't call me ridiculous I didn't say anything about it lmao

[karmic flame]

Waymo 100%

[steel marsh]

this whole cybertruck thing smells of copium

[fervent swallow]

It’s a bullet proof car, I’d want that in America

[graceful burrow]

This whole cyber truck thing smells of #cars to me

[steel marsh]

its not bullet proof

[graceful burrow]

Only to small calibers

[steel marsh]

ye

[manic edge]

did youtube just break themselves?

[fervent swallow]

Arnt most shootings from smaller calibers anyways

[graceful burrow]

No

[fierce tinsel]

But its a truck.. and maybe a boat? (or based on carwash reports.. a sub?)

[fervent swallow]

Dam Chicago lied to me

[desert ivy]

They literally can't make them fast enough. It won't be a Model Y but there's 0 indicators that the model is going to fail. You may not like it? But guess what people do.

Heck look at Marques video of the Cybertruck

[graceful burrow]

My favorite part about the cyber truck is how it's back axles break from a front-end collision

[desert ivy]

The company destroyer himself liked it lol

[fervent swallow]

Lmafo

[graceful burrow]

Or how it's rusting because tesla doesn't treat the metal

[steel marsh]

also gotta love a car where you are the crumble zone

[fervent swallow]

It seems like yall look at the cyber truck more than other car

Theirs plenty of other cars with worst problems

[steel marsh]

its shite idea

[manic edge]

my favourite part of the truck is that it can't handle a little water

[graceful burrow]

When it's forced into your face by people who won't shut the fuck up about their new car it's hard to avoid, boss
Like I said, like 4000 of them ever got sent out and I couldn't avoid it as much as I tried

[spice pine]

as do all Musk related topics

[steel marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J3H8--CQRE

[spice pine]

erm something something it’s the fate of the universe and you can’t change it, i think

[graceful burrow]

It was fun seeing them break in new and inventive ways

[spice pine]

i can’t wait until everything Musk related stops being front and center news

[fervent swallow]

Sounds like it’s being unfairly critiqued due to its popularity

[desert ivy]

Oh my good. The 80,000 USD truck can't beat a Porsche in a straight line while towing a Porsche. Fuck me. That's going to destroy sales.

[graceful burrow]

My favorite one was where the pad for the gas pedal can come off and get stuck under a panel, making the gas pedal stuck down
That's a super duper fun one

[graceful burrow]

Popularity begets eyes
