Google keeps rolling out updates. Breaking stuff

[feral island]

Someone else said pixel good

[near nymph]

Yes Pixel. Good

Pixel updates? Horrible

[grim belfry]

Lmao

[neon mesa]

They're seeking the best camera

[feral island]

Well i never update my phone, cuz it never gets updates, well the security updates only

[idle nymph]

pixel it is

[feral island]

Ive looked at the Poco F6 but its only for sale in the netherlands

[grim belfry]

Or an iPhone 😈

[near nymph]

Oh Google has nice image processing

[feral island]

Ive looked at the vivo Iqoo 12 but it isnt for sale in europe

[near nymph]

Import it. AliExpress is awesome

[idle nymph]

true

[grim belfry]

Taxes and duties 💀

[feral island]

Heard mixed feelings about the taxes and dutiws

[near nymph]

🤫 I'm good at getting around those

Hey my coffee grinder is magically $5

[feral island]

One of my buddys bought a Huawei Pura 70 from the ROC (dunno why the ROC) and he paid 400 euros in taxes and duties

[neon mesa]

they really went out of their way to get a huawei

[feral island]

Ig it depends on if its the ROC or PRC you buy from, ones cheaper than the other

[feral island]

He did it to test it

[feral island]

Its going to be very hefty

[near nymph]

Why would you import a Huawei phone from Taiwan...

[feral island]

It was cheaper, to my knowledge but i digress,

[near nymph]

Huawei's latest phones are just patriotic brownie points

[grim belfry]

Plus custom duties

[feral island]

Ill have a look on aliexpress

Cuz theres alot of phones i wanna look at

[near nymph]

That's why it enters thru a different country 😏

[feral island]

The vivo iqoo 12 pro seems to be good

[neon mesa]

Either the Pixel 8A or that Oneplus you were looking at

Pixel 8A if you truly mostly care about camera
the oneplus for all rounder

[grim belfry]

I hear the i15 Pro has an excellent camera

[neon mesa]

budget be like

(also still beaten by 8A)

wait that's...

tf is that

[grim belfry]

The S25 Ultra is also a great device

[near nymph]

Loool

This one is interesting

With its SD 8s Gen 3

[grim belfry]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006865434741.html

There ya go :)

[feral island]

Sorry, idk how it work

But how do i know where ir gets shipped from,

[neon mesa]

Poco phones are like a civic with F1 engine
all the budget went to the engine

the cameras are also nowhere as good as the 8A

[feral island]

Ah alr

[neon mesa]

if you don't need the chip's performance it'd actually be a downgrade from the A54 you have right now

(xiaomi software is kinda garbo)

[grim belfry]

Other than their hairdryer software

[feral island]

Aliexpress has alot of odd phones

[near nymph]

Google Camera App is dope

[near nymph]

Most of it's targeted for the Chinese market

[grim belfry]

Even the i15 Pro and S25 Ultra?

[gentle slate]

using a trackpad feels disgusting

[near nymph]

No that's to scam dumb foreigners

[gentle slate]

how do people use this. its so in accurate, clunky and annoying

[grim belfry]

Using a bad trackpad feels disgusting*

[gentle slate]

any trackpad feels bad

I aint ever seen a good trackpad. not even on a macbook

[grim belfry]

A trackpad you like*

[gentle slate]

also i aint getting another logitech mouse. This USB adapter shit is dumb

forget your adapter and now ur mouse is useless

[grim belfry]

Unifying reciever?

[grim belfry]

Like most wireless mice?

[gentle slate]

theres bluetooth

is it too much to ask for bluetooth in a 60 eur mouse

[grim belfry]

You can get bluetooth Logi mice

[feral island]

Could the zte nubia redmagic be any good(

[grim belfry]

I'm using one right now

[gentle slate]

mine dont got bluetooth

[grim belfry]

Is it a gaming mouse?

[gentle slate]

yes.

Its the wireless variant of the G502 which I quite enjoy

[grim belfry]

That's why it doesn't have bluetooth :)

[gentle slate]

got it so you gotta buy a crappy mouse to get bluetooth .-.

[grim belfry]

No, it's because gaming on a bluetooth mouse wouldn't be fun

[gentle slate]

just have a receiver mode and bluetooth mode.

[feral island]

What the fack. Realme GT5 has 240 watts charging

[grim belfry]

Most Logi productivity mice have dual mode :)

[gentle slate]

wtf is a productivity mouse

[grim belfry]

A mouse designed for productivity, not gaming

[gentle slate]

the g502 is a normal mouse

has 2 buttons a scroll wheel, dpi, scroll lock and 2 side buttons

[near nymph]

Lol

[feral island]

So the pixel 8 or 8A has the best camera on the market?

[full fossil]

hi

hello

wauw

[covert tundra]

hi

[wise pumice]

my new phone wants me to verify my phone number for the samsung account... how tf do i verify it if the sim is in the phone and i aint receiving anything

[full fossil]

Is it locked to one provider?

[wise pumice]

yes

its alright i just had to skip the setup and do it manually

[full fossil]

Is your sim that provider?

[frozen zenith]

sometimes when my pc gets slow I just add one more strip of rgb and it gets faster

[unkempt bluff]

Umm I'm upgrading from a 980ti and confused between 7900 gre and 4070 super

Some expert help would be valued 🙄

[sand igloo]

The 7900 GRE is better than 4070 Super by 2% according to TPU, basically, they're the same.

The concern here is... price.

[unkempt bluff]

7900 gre is 10% cheaper in india

[sand igloo]

If all you're doing is gaming, go for the 7900 GRE.

[unkempt bluff]

Like 60k INR ish

[unkempt bluff]

Some gaming, some office work - excel, Google suite and similar

[sand igloo]

7900 GRE then, because... I don't think those demand too much from GPU.

[grim belfry]

Excel is a very GPU-heavy workload

[sand igloo]

It indeed is, therefore you need a 4090 Ti.

[unkempt bluff]

Eh 😂

The it's the goosebumps going away from nvidia

[unkempt bluff]

No plans to sell my net worth lol

[sand igloo]

I'm not even sure if it exists, tbh.

Okay, no it doesn't but it will, eventually.

[unkempt bluff]

Out of reach = out of mind lol

Any nvidia to AMD gpu switchers around?

I mean it's my 2nd rig since 2016

[feral island]

Im at a store rn. And i can tell you i dislike its size, its like teeny tiny

[hard birch]

morning

[shut lichen]

No it won't. 4090 is the end of the 40 series

Next top end Nvidia GPU we will see is next gen

[feral island]

Imma buy a S23+

[tidal minnow]

The worst thing about switching to amd is that youll wish youd have done it sooner

Yeah there really isnt much at all to worry about except user display driver uninstaller.

[tacit falcon]

Going through my dads belongings that are left, anyway to restore the photos, files that might be on it?

[grim belfry]

Plug ‘er in!

[long briar]

SD cards aren't even that old 😭

I'm sorry you can't be so young as to not know what an SD card is

but yea just plug it in to anything with a reader, if you don't have one, a cheap reader can be found for like 5 bucks

[full fossil]

How can you not know what an sd card is

[feral slate]

hi i need help with my cpu

i have a 14900k and on cinebench r23 i hit mc 34500 how can i make it 40-41k?

I installed windows 10 pro and before i got to the set up screen it has taken me to the lock screen saing 'Other User', what should I do?

[ionic abyss]

Is a steelseries artic prom headset ebay refurbished a good buy for $2

1 year warranty

[full fossil]

Bro what

Do people really just come to public chat only to ask a bunch of tech questions💀

[ionic abyss]

Id say it's no uncommon for,a tech discord channel

[full fossil]

Yeah but lowkey kinda expected this channel to be for causal conversations cause theres other tech channels and stuff

[ionic abyss]

So would they headset be a OK buy?

[rocky briar]

hi

[full fossil]

Sup

[rocky briar]

i have a msi b150m gaming pro and 32gb of ddr4 ram (2x16) and a intel i3 6100 and a rx580 8gb and i need to swap my mobo out i think to get a newer cpu because the best i can put in there is a i7 7700k but i dont think thats enough for the bottle neck with the cpu and gpu or is it?

how bad would the i7 7700k with a rx580 8gb?

[full fossil]

To be honest

I have no clue

[next jetty]

fine

[wispy marsh]

For the amount of cores, I would go for a new mobo and cpu altogether. Namely, 12th gen ddr4 or AM4

[rocky briar]

ok but will the bottleneck be still there?

because i was here some time ago and i was getting bullied into buying a new mobo which i really dont want to

so would a 7700k be good?

[wispy marsh]

I've had a friend who was having hiccups in DotA and CSGO while streaming on an i7-7700, I sold them my 5600X and all of their problems disappeared

[unkempt bluff]

I'd call you a good friend only if you upgraded your pc from the 5600x to an AM5 as well lol

[unkempt bluff]

was in the same place as you with an i7 6700k - just went to a R5 7600x on a MSI B650 MoBo (dont get this MoBO) for AM5

the plan is getting a GPU rn and then get another upgrade towards the end of am5 for a life of 10 years straight on this rig

[full fossil]

Is seen as odd to have cameras in your own house

I personally want them

[rocky briar]

so what should i do? just upgrade to a 7700k?

[idle nymph]

eh

depend

[long briar]

what kind of camera and more specifically... where

I understand cameras around entrances/driveways/garage etc.

but not living rooms, bedrooms, basically anywhere people would be and talk about more private things

[wispy marsh]

No. I kept the motherboard and upgraded to the 5800X3D, which was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my entire history of hardware purchases.

[full fossil]

Everywhere except bathroom and Poe cameras

[long briar]

yea I don't know about living room and bedrooms

I'm not a fan of them

especially if they have audio

[full fossil]

Only I will be living in that property and visiting it

[full fossil]

They will

[long briar]

then it's kinda weird

[full fossil]

It’s my house only I would be there

[leaden gale]

Bro is about to run sting operations to figure out who stole the cookie from the cookie jar 5 years ago

[full fossil]

Why

[long briar]

I have 1 on 1 conversations and time with certain people that I'd say is beyond confidential

I host my cameras locally and I still wouldn't dare put a camera in a bedroom and living room

[full fossil]

I don’t do well not knowing that my stuff isn’t safe not had the best past

[wispy marsh]

DDR5 prices weren't as low as Price(DRAM.DDR5SKUs.Random(GoodSKUs)) Where Date = GetCurrentDate() and X3D is still insanely strong for the performance at power budget

[full fossil]

How is that a problem when no one but me is around?

[long briar]

Do you never have people over?

[wispy marsh]

Do you have tinfoil on your walls

[full fossil]

People are never over got no friends

No

[long briar]

oh

[full fossil]

I’m not seeing how it’s weird to have cameras in your place

I’m not bothered if I’m on someone’s camera

[long briar]

invasion of privacy is the one I was talking about

[full fossil]

Im Not bothered about being seen on cameras

Pretty used to people knowing my every move and what I do

(From how grew up)

[long briar]

How I act and what I say is going to be vastly different if I'm on camera compared to if I wasn't

ok lets focus on this then, why do you want cameras in your house

[full fossil]

I don’t trust people to not touch my shit

[long briar]

you said nobody goes to your house

[full fossil]

I have no trust in anyone

[full fossil]

I am bit to careful

[long briar]

single forever is crazy

[full fossil]

Not on camera = no way to defend myself

[full fossil]

Perfectly happy with being single

:3

[long briar]

Well here's the thing right

Cameras as a defensive measure is kind of... not really defense?

you need alarms

Proactive vs Reactive safety, if you will

[sick coral]

thinking about selling my pc to replace it with an rog ally

the z1 extreme is apparently not that much slower than the 5800x3d so if i pair it with an rtx 4070 egpu i should be getting performance similar to my pc

my main concern is linux support and vr support

[full fossil]

None of my stuff worth stealing that’s not a problem

[sick coral]

my soul feeds off of my hatred to microsoft, if i start liking them then i might as well be dead

so id really rather use linux

[full fossil]

Max £60-80 if you sold it

[sick coral]

but then i also use vr too much to give up on it

i dont wanna give up on alyx and boneworks

maybe ill just wait for the steam deck 2

[strange elk]

Use windows 10 for now

Its EOL in a year, switch to LTSC and you'll get security updates

My strat anyway. 11 is a cesspool

[long briar]

you also have to pay for ltsc

[strange elk]

Totally. 100% definitely paid for

[long briar]

the same way you had to pay for windows 7 ltsc

[long briar]

W11 scheduler is so much better than W10

honestly 11 doesn't deserve the hate it gets at this stage

it's a fine operating system, it works

it's getting sudo in a bit which is fun

[strange elk]

I get enough performance without it. I dont need all the extra bullshit added to my operating system. All the OS needs to do is manage my files and run my programs. Not all this extra shit

[long briar]

just get Windows 11 pro and... do that then?

[strange elk]

Why the fuck would I do that when I already have 10

[long briar]

you're hating just to hate

you're 5 years late to the party wake up

[strange elk]

I literally just wiped windows 11 before they announced ads. Then more AI. Then Recall. I'm not having spyware on my system, IDC of they use 1024bit ultra super duper uncrackable unbackable nuclear warfare grade encryption

Shits fucked

I'm not 5 years late I just gave up because of the bullshit and Linux has been way nicer

[covert cradle]

Disabling copilot is one toggle in gpedit fyi...

[long briar]

wait why are you running windows if you can run linux then...

[frozen zenith]

yk i think of the concept of spyware and then a realisation hits, am i that important that companies will spend actual money to go after me

[full fossil]

Builders 🤣😂😅😭

Love spending 1-2h in a hole trying to fix a broken cat6, cause “somehow” it magically got cut

Kill me

[strange elk]

Its not just about the companies.

[strange elk]

Because I need to run VR. Hence a separate drive with windows 10.

[frozen zenith]

it came broken not the builders fault

[long briar]

wait Windows 11 has ads?

I've never seen a single one lmao

[covert cradle]

Nobody is specifically targeted, it's mass surveillance

[full fossil]

Don’t you bloody test me 🫠😂

[strange elk]

2 weeks after I switched it was announced in a preview build

[long briar]

I've been running W11 beta for... 3 years now?

[frozen zenith]

what browsers yall use ?

[full fossil]

Arc

[strange elk]

Firefox

[long briar]

Edge

Nothing beats Edge's vertical tabs for me

[covert cradle]

My opinions on recall have changed as I've thought more about it. I realized that corpos will use it as a spy tool even if msft actually makes it not phone home to them

[frozen zenith]

i like vivaldi vertical tabs bettr

[long briar]

Vivaldi was pretty solid but Edge was just a little bit nicer

[long briar]

I like having it expand on hover

[strange elk]

And its a huge security risk. For anyone who runs it especially in corporate environments

[long briar]

Vivaldi is definitely more functional

[full fossil]

I’m down with chromium edge, but that’s about it, and that’s only cause of a burning passion against chrome

[short quartz]

yeah, software

[long briar]

Between Vivaldi and Edge, it's really just preference

[frozen zenith]

yeah vivaldi is fun but i want to switch to one where i get good performance as well as it is customisable like vivaldi. (probably also get off chromium)

[short quartz]

i just use this https://www.cgsecurity.org/Download_and_donate.php/testdisk-7.2.win64.zip

[long briar]

I think Vivaldi is a better browser in just about every way but I'm so used to how Edge handles that I don't feel its worth to switch

[frozen zenith]

nah edge works better + copilot

[long briar]

Copilot sucks ass

it's so slow I just use chatgpt

since chatgpt can also now use the internet search

[frozen zenith]

idk if it my laptops issue but vivaldi randomly shuts down on me sometimes

[long briar]

I haven't had that at all

I had weird artifacting with all electron apps though

[frozen zenith]

yeah but i like the integrated apps

[long briar]

fair enough

[frozen zenith]

check this out

[long briar]

oh yea

I know about it, I preferred just using suno website

[frozen zenith]

not that its the best but its interesting in the least

[frozen zenith]

yeah but i found it much easier to converse with copliot rather than give prompts on suno website

[long briar]

fair enough

[full fossil]

Not mine, not at my pc atm but vertical tabs on arc

Not quite as space saving ig

[frozen zenith]

can you get the to the right and stack ?

[full fossil]

Thinks so

[frozen zenith]

i would have switched to edge if i could get the vertical tabs to the right

[next jetty]

I can never get that to work

[frozen zenith]

yeah it likes to not do the thing, what i do is in example prompts there are some music prompts, ill click one and immediately click stop responding after the suno name pops up, then it works like normal

[next jetty]

what's your prompt format?

[frozen zenith]

just compose a ___ song on ...

[full fossil]

its incredibly buggy though; it doesnt even process my input half the time and i have to type everything twice to actually get to webpages

[next jetty]

yeah it really doesn't want to do it lol

[frozen zenith]

does it give you lyrics ?

[next jetty]

yeah

[frozen zenith]

start a new convo

click one of these compose options

thatll enable the plugin for the convo

then after that any compose message should work normal

[next jetty]

it doesn't show any of these for me

[frozen zenith]

ik its a weird gimicky way of doing it but world would be a different place if shit worked like it should

[frozen zenith]

the message where you choose creative, balanced, precise scroll up

[next jetty]

oh just got it to work. I had to restart Edge a couple of times

[frozen zenith]

oh cool

[next jetty]

thanks now I know what I have to do to fix it lol

NO SHIT BRU 🗣️ 🔥

[rocky briar]

linux mint is way better than windows

Arch>

[runic cobalt]

lmao

[rocky briar]

arch is also very good but its not really the best for beginners

[runic cobalt]

education: questionable 😭

[rocky briar]

anyways i gave my grandma gentoo

riced it to look like windows and she loved it

[pine matrix]

design of this specific phone makes me vomit

[rocky briar]

why do alot of phones have that like **thick **bezzel at the bottom?

[safe mesa]

guys is a rtx 4060 ti worth egtting

[next jetty]

depends on price and market

[vapid smelt]

No

[vapid smelt]

Wait till next gen (rumored to be near the end of the year) or get the 7700xt

[runic cobalt]

i remember when phones like that was futuristic

[next jetty]

like it legit makes bangers

[runic cobalt]

toe to toe with 3070

i think they go for around 250 rn

[vapid smelt]

Even in 'rt it's better than a 4060ti

Very embarrassing Nvidia

[unkempt bluff]

Is Ray tracing really worth it at this point?

I'm considering 7900 gre over 4070 super

[runic cobalt]

hmmm

[unkempt bluff]

Or should I wait for 50 series

[vapid smelt]

I have never used ray tracing so I can't really say

[vapid smelt]

What's your current card

[unkempt bluff]

980 ti

Either card will be a night and day difference - paired with 7600x

My 980 Ti may light a fire anytime rn

[ocean fox]

I thought AMD could still do ray tracing but not as good

[unkempt bluff]

82-83 degrees on it scares me

[mighty cipher]

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/alienware-aurora-r15-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r15-amd-desktop/wdr15amd30h?view=configurations is this any good for 700?

Og 1.1k but I need help deciding it's a r15 lowest spec

[runic cobalt]

no reason to get a 4060 ti 💀

[ocean fox]

There's really no reason to go for Nvidia other than some individual reasoning

I just like Shadowplay

[unkempt bluff]

I haven't played a RT titles in last two years

Or used shadow play at that

[ocean fox]

I use it all the time, it's great

[runic cobalt]

even with DLSS it sucks

[unkempt bluff]

From what I'm seeing it's fake frames

[vapid smelt]

That's very normal

[unkempt bluff]

At 100% usage?

[strange elk]

Shadow play can be selfhosted with amd

[runic cobalt]

Like linus said, prototype feature that needs to improved upon in future generations

[ocean fox]

Can it? That's good.

[runic cobalt]

there's a frame gen feature that's fake frames, there's also a part of DLSS that renders at a lower res to native to generate real frames

[strange elk]

Using Sunshine (host) and Moonlight (client)

[unkempt bluff]

Debate being the 7900 gre being able to compete better against the 4070 super without the faff

Hence the confusion given the gre is cheaper too

[vapid smelt]

As long as it's not in the 90c it's fine

[runic cobalt]

i'd personally only use RTX in some triple AAA titles if I could get 90-120 fps

[unkempt bluff]

82 max currently

But cpu not going over 40% utilization at all in cpu demanding games

[runic cobalt]

portal looks really good in rtx but it also made it's real frame rate into a fraction of the game's non-rtx frames 😭

[vapid smelt]

The faster gre oc is because of amd unlocking/raising the memory oc limit

[unkempt bluff]

I smh find 3060 is a buffed up 980 Ti with all the tech faff

[graceful burrow]

Lmao what

[unkempt bluff]

Better purchase then?

P. S. A 16 year old got a i7 6700k and 980 Ti on parent's money and now a 22 Yr old is finding it hard to spend on the pc lol

[runic cobalt]

Nvidia is pulling an apple with this Super, Ti, and cut VRAM bullcrap. It's the Pro Max Plus of the GPU market.

[vapid smelt]

I would personally get a gre over a 4070super

[unkempt bluff]

My friends be getting similar FPS on same titles tbh

[unkempt bluff]

I have been on the same trip - nvidia is more common but AMD is pocket friendly

Been swapping between the two a lot

Now I'm thinking gre but at the same time, AMD for a gpu isn't the meta and makes me question it

[graceful burrow]

he's thinking of computer hardware in metas
Yeah I'm definitely not getting involved here lmao

[unkempt bluff]

Meta as in the usual even seeing the steam survey

I mean 60k INR isn't cheap mate

The peace out emoji was me leaving the convo fwiw

[strange elk]

Meta is a fallacy anyway, this is almost universal in the fact that meta is per individual

AMD doesn't have market share because they dont make 1000 types cards in the same generation

[unkempt bluff]

I mean the very card in my life was a top of the line 980 ti 🙄

[strange elk]

Also they just werent good for a while but they've taken Ryzen strides in it the past few years

[strange elk]

I mean if "meta" means that much to you wait for 5090

I'm a power user and I play tons of games and the RX 6700 has been great for me 1440p 144hz

If its got a free NVME slot yes. Clonezilla

[graceful burrow]

Nah lol

[frozen zenith]

yeah it is

[hearty spear]

no, not really

winxp was fine for the time, but it's gone and should stay that way

[stoic beacon]

Tough up and use Linux, pay up and use MacOS, or use Windows 11 and deal with it.

Three options.

[hearty spear]

or option 4:
Be a dumbass and run an ancient, insecure OS that will let people hack you for fuziez

[crystal flare]

or door number 4 use ubuntu linux to recreate windows xp with modern amenities, like steam.

[hearty spear]

which sounds a lot like "Door 1"

use linux

[stoic beacon]

Linux Mint already runs pretty much just like XP. Zorin is Windows 7.

Both of those are Door #1. Linux.

[crystal flare]

is it mint linux or linux mint?

[graceful burrow]

Technically just mint

But people add Linux to make sure that it's in reference to the Linux distro

[old yacht]

THATS WHAT JORDAN DID WITH MY PICTURE?!?!?!

[graceful burrow]

Are you not lookin for some broskis?

[runic cobalt]

Looking for the bros

[ionic abyss]

anybody still up?

[graceful burrow]

no

that's usually when i go to bed.

yo can u help me in the tech support thread?

perchance

[lapis apex]

yo btw rsrs u should check my rig out fr its fire

[feral smelt]

should i go for 2nd hand 3080 or b new 4070 or 6800xt (within 5% price rn availability is the problem)

[bright scarab]

heyyy

dose anyone here know about wifi routers?

[graceful burrow]

#networking might

[bright scarab]

no one is responding to me

[graceful burrow]

Still the right channel tbf

[feral smelt]

ill go for the 4070 for the efficiency.

[fossil frost]

so... todays non-tech-tip-but-still-a-tip... dont leaf through a bunch of loosely stacked doors in a door showroom, and then drop an oak door on your foot

[full fossil]

https://youtu.be/G-90qEJAVkU?si=0fRExjQPsfXNiGih can we please have an update on this? But using revit as well?

[fossil frost]

it would be a really short video "no, you dont"

[lime mortar]

Can you even get modern xeons on standard boards???

[fossil frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNC9LPc3BI0

[neon eagle]

PIA, Windscribe, or Mullvad?

[barren apex]

Purpose? Legality level?

[cosmic copper]

Personally I've used ProtonVPN for a while now and its been great, but I've heard good things about Mullvad too (and of course LTT is taking PIA as a sponsor again)

[night heron]

there are LGA1700 xeons but i dont know if any consumer boards support them

the xeon e-2488 is one

[barren apex]

I still need sp3 mobos to go with my stupid ancient epycs, but they're all $500+ from china. one of you should go volunteer at a e-waste recycling place and find me some so I can buy them from you 😄

[pliant leaf]

Man i almost got the chance to get in the deadlock alpha

God dammit why am i stupid

[full fossil]

I am in Serbia for a trip and TIL that there is a company called Tesla which makes TVs and appliances

Not just cars

[solemn axle]

personally, i liked nordvpn; windscribe's desktop client is messy, but after some time nord, windscribe, pia and some others stopped working in my country
AdguardVPN still works

[restive night]

hola

[full fossil]

Dang who kicked your dog? also are you linus

[stray arrow]

Holy!!!
They are proud of copilot?

[golden talon]

copilot is actually good so yeah they should be

[stray arrow]

Did they fix it or it still takes 1-2 minute to give response?

[golden talon]

irs like 30 seconds tops for me

[stray arrow]

That's slow

[golden talon]

i’d take slow over useless

like every other AI out on mainstream rn is

[north escarp]

I enjoy using copilot a good amount, mostly for making images but still

[solemn axle]

i enjoy to use llms, but i would rather keep it an another tab in the browser but not a separate os module or whatever

[north escarp]

Yeah just as an app would be good, I never liked the Cortona feature

[solemn axle]

i never used cortana, it just didn't work in my region

[north escarp]

I disabled it on all my systems you weren't missing much

[golden talon]

i like llm integration into worklflows

like msft teams

[north escarp]

It'll be fun to see how it all grows over these next few years

[gilded quest]

I read that as "I like Microsoft teams" and almost blocked you

[harsh quartz]

Ehh

I already dislike copilot cause it keeps popping up every time my computer updates, I turn it off and it turns itself back on

[strange elk]

me when i buy base game on GOG first, then steam, then phantom liberty on steam but now actually moving to GOG

[harsh quartz]

Still need to finish phantom liberty

[strange elk]

same here. I keep adding mods which updates keep breaking

[harsh quartz]

I just haven’t felt like it :p

[strange elk]

Started a corpo run in between as well lol

[harsh quartz]

I’m currently on a corpo run. I like the nomad better

[strange elk]

Im not sure, I like both

I like the nomad values more obv but they are both fun in their own right with dialogue

[harsh quartz]

I don’t like the corp unique mission, that’s really it. Rest of it doesn’t change too much

[strange elk]

Not sure I know quite yet. But I mostly am there for dialogue anyway lol

But to know how different paths play out

[solemn axle]

My cat is trying to explain to me why I am wrong

[scarlet lion]

Does anyone remember which z flip Linus was daily driving?

[wispy marsh]

I finished phantom liberty and just go into dogtown and take down random people

[trim pendant]

is there any big different with using all 4 slot and only use 2 slot of memory ?

[wispy marsh]

I'm bored enough to start a new game but I don't want to

[wispy marsh]

certain xmp profiles might not work with 4 sticks on certain cpus regardless of motherboard topology due to imc lottery

[trim pendant]

my brain just turn off ngl

[wispy marsh]

I'm sorry

[trim pendant]

no you good

i just nerver herd those term

[wispy marsh]

Oh

[trim pendant]

well im useing a Ryzen 7 7800X3D

[wispy marsh]

Um, lemme think

[trim pendant]

with a MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard

and im useing 4 Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6200

64 gib in total

[harsh quartz]

I’m trying to do a 100% run but I keep getting sidetracked with random stuff. I think I’m like almost 100 hours into my current run

[wispy marsh]

This is what I can remember, forgive me if I'm wrong. Some of the information I have are pulled from this guide updated last Monday: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/ram-explained-why-two-modules-are-better-than-four-single-vs-dual-rank-stability-testing.363139/

ram

• xmp, docp, expo profiles
• factory-provided overclocking
• profiles are custom speeds + clock timings made by manufacturers
• usually tested in sets they are sold in (sets of 2, sets of 4)
• memory ranks also dictate memory OC, more ranks will work the IMC harder

cpu

• IMC (integrated memory controller)
• IMC on overclocking performance dictated by silicon lottery
• ryzen usually requires 1:1:1 ratio or 1:1:2 ratio for infinity fabric speed to not suffer a performance loss
• the IMC will work harder on more sticks of memory

motherboard

• daisy chain topology addresses memory by position
• best if put on ends of each channels (that's why A2 and B2 for dual-channel mobos with four slots)
• T-topology addresses memory on each channel together
• best if the channel is fully populated

[wispy marsh]

I'm probably 150~200 hours with ~600 total

Messed up my corpo and I'd like to rerun it now

[trim pendant]

dam now that knowledged

[harsh quartz]

My corp is the one at 100. I started it after the 2.1 update with all the skill tree changes. I miss the old system tbh

[wispy marsh]

I only miss the old system because it really did scale like a mmorpg but the enemies weren't singleplayer

[remote plover]

Anyone got recommendations for autistic panels

[harsh quartz]

I miss being able to hop on a camera, pop 5 contagions and wipe out 20 enemies at the same time while staying stealthed

[remote plover]

I mean acustic panels

[wispy marsh]

And the Merciless perk, which is +1% critical chance and 2% critical damage per point. I had like 57 points in that on my streetkid back when you can have silencers on iconic power pistols, and the Archangel is one hell of a silent pistol that I could headshot for 150k damage

[wispy marsh]

They're forcing you to pace your combat now

[harsh quartz]

When I’m max level at the end of the game, I don’t think I should have to play how they want me to

[harsh quartz]

I’ve never understood the crit chance builds or melee builds. I don’t know how all the percentages affect each other and I haven’t looked into it

[wispy marsh]

Play enough warframe, cabal online, maplestory and you would

[wispy marsh]

Too bad

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, not my cup of tea. I much prefer to do a netrunner build and use the fun unique weapons instead of min/maxing :p

Least favorite change was the cyberware capacity limit

[wispy marsh]

They balanced netrunners a lot

It's not longer hiding away in cowardice, but rather you have to get into their face with wires to maximise the quickhacks' effects

[trim pendant]

ok i just read the link you send and from my understanding 64 is overkill

[harsh quartz]

Don’t like the mono wire. I like running system reset with the overclock perk and taking everyone out stealthily still, now it just takes longer than the old contagion build

[wispy marsh]

It depends on what you're doing

[trim pendant]

streaming editing gaming recording 3d models

[wispy marsh]

Content editing, rendering of any sort, and AI training will take up a lot of vram and/or ram

Yeah you can use 64GB for 3d models

[trim pendant]

thx love you bbg

you try rate my pc im make ?

[wispy marsh]

I wouldn't rate other people's pc

[trim pendant]

alr thx for the help

[trim pendant]

i just want make sure im getting the maximum performance for my money

[solemn axle]

My "PC" is 2 laptops and 1 ancient debris connected with a KVM box

[wispy marsh]

These two builds are beyond what you can get with money alone

It's 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain

[trim pendant]

your the final pc boss 😭

i seen build like that idk what you got be doing to need those

[wispy marsh]

My cooling is neither of those and it's also super inadequate. I have my GPU blowing hot air into my radiator

[trim pendant]

i saw a person turn the desk to a pc case with luquid cooling

this my pc im be building in a good month

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3RRxMV

I'm waiting on either black Friday or a holiday where there major discount like cyber Monday

[wispy marsh]

That's a nice setup

[trim pendant]

thx

[wispy marsh]

Mine's um

Let me take a picture

[trim pendant]

do you have any good recommendation for like mice and a mic and headphone

[vapid smelt]

y

you dont need a aio for a 7800x3d, using all 4 ram dims is not the best, and 1080p at 27inch has really poor ppi

[trim pendant]

The aio is a aesthetics thing also the 4 dims slot and the 1080 if you taking about the msi it going to be vertical monitor

[arctic pollen]

I have a couple of those GPUs they're nice. That AIO is kinda silly for a 7800X3D

[vapid smelt]

https://www.asetek.com/oem-partners/ the nzxt is just a rebadge asetek aio with a huge markup

[arctic pollen]

Logitech g pro x superlight 2

Spend the extra for 1440p, it’s worth it

[vapid smelt]

I think they might want curved? But not sure why curved for a vertical monitor

Idk why but I just crave a curve vertical

[grim belfry]

The decorative GPUs 😭

[wispy marsh]

The dead GPUs*

[vapid smelt]

when you going to make your pc vent system look cute/nice

[trim pendant]

Send that in my DMs

[arctic pollen]

I have a ridiculous GPU box display but all GPUs are installed 😔

[wispy marsh]

Yeah I'll buy fake rose briars to coil around the ducting

[wispy marsh]

[near nymph]

Will my house catch on fire... Probably not

[wispy marsh]

That's a nice device. Mine's just a lacrosse battery charger

[sand igloo]

Wow, that pegboard is packed.

[smoky badge]

Hopefully not

[grim belfry]

I prefer to just use a USB cable 😈 /s

Living on the edge

[arctic pollen]

This was me for a few hours

[wispy marsh]

It's been unpacked

[sand igloo]

Oh so it’s nearly empty now?

[wispy marsh]

It's nicely presented, if that's what you mean

[near nymph]

Yeah. This thing is like $200 I think

Very nice charger.

[wispy marsh]

Ahaha, mine's roughly 1/6 or 1/5 of that

Considering it needs to have an api for the application

$200 sounds like a good investment

[near nymph]

Its fucking expensive

😂

[wispy marsh]

mmhmm

[near nymph]

Hey... It's okay. Customer paying for it

They need me to do testing and stuff. That means I need equipment

Fancy charger

[rocky knot]

so you know how Minecraft is the best selling Video game of all time.
And tetris follows that.
Then the best selling toy was a rubiks cube.

This means that Humans REALLY like cubes.

[golden talon]

more mid

[grim belfry]

Tetris is a hard one to track, some would say it is the #1

[rocky knot]

I mean, so would Minecraft consiering it has also been bought across a lot of platforms at this point.

https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/08/tetris-has-reached-425-million-paid-mobile-downloads

[rocky knot]

Maybe not to the same extent.

either way, i dont think it can be denied there like top 2

[grim belfry]

Lol

[rocky knot]

Either way! MY POINT STANDS!

[grim belfry]

Minesweeper

[rocky knot]

is also cubes

[grim belfry]

Exactly

[rocky knot]

technically all games are cubes since their made of pixels

🙂

[grim belfry]

Not quite cubes...

[near nymph]

Delicious. I had fried chicken with Cajun fries and cold slaw. Gonna have watermelon later

Wait that sounds sus

Happy 10th birthday channel super fun

Yo, so I'm doing an animation for the ltt screwdriver, does anyone have something that they'd like to add to the animation? :)

It's set in the WAN show room :)

[gentle slate]

Everything is a hammer..Unless it's a screwdriver. Then it's a chisel.

[lofty ice]

...What?

[near nymph]

I want it being used as a phallic object toy

I know someone that has tried it

The ridges on the bit holder were great they told me

Aye discharge time

Let's see how close it gets to 3500mah

[vapid smelt]

are they named will?

[near nymph]

Dunno.

Can't say 🤫

throughout the galaxies and the universe, we alone are the weird one

[near nymph]

What the fucking chemistry these guys are using to pump 4000mah

[grim belfry]

I’m pretty sure you can’t get anything above 3600mah

[frozen zenith]

rtx 4090 vape when

[near nymph]

Naw. It's legit. It's just it has a silly high self discharge rate

I assume it's very unstable chemistry

[idle nymph]

walter white typa chemistry

[near nymph]

It's a Chinese battery. Wouldn't be surprised

I told my suppliers I only allow cells from the ROC Taiwan Area, Japan and South Korea. If you give me Chinese batteries I'm charging back 😂

Now that's not possible. Though in 21700 yes

[grim belfry]

I’m blind

[near nymph]

Hmm... Korean cells aren't that bad...

Good for low discharge

I trust Taiwan more

Molicel performs basically the same as the Japanese one 🧐

[granite tinsel]

downloads ≠ sales

[strange elk]

There were 35 million downloads on Gameboy

[grim belfry]

From the Gameboy Store?

[obsidian cedar]

Heya everyone.

I dunno the feel of it just isn't as polished an the iOS version

Then again most apps are like that

Customs went thru my shit and did a horrible job taping it back up and then yeeted my shit around

My suspicion these are Hong Kong/CN tape. Or US

US custom tape says its us customs tape

[near nymph]

In that case... China and Hong Kong

[grim belfry]

Exhibit A

[near nymph]

Canadian Tape is yellow and has Canadian Government shit on it

No

Random from reddit

I don't think I've ever had anything opened by customs

The app ain’t that bad

Beautiful Chinese Spyware. Good enough to use. But still shit

[queen obsidian]

Anyone ever have the urge to just break their motherboard?

[split wasp]

How so it work great for me

[unkempt bluff]

Msi B650 will make me do that sometime

But hey, a reason to shift to ITX form factor sometime

[tropic gulch]

is 7500f too strong for 5700 xt

[queen obsidian]

Yes

You can match it with basically any gpu if you appropriately scale resolution

[tropic gulch]

whats the cheapest gpu i should go for

[queen obsidian]

I mean you can go for anything it’ll just cap your cpu

Do you already have the 7500f?

[tropic gulch]

nah

[tropic gulch]

i mean cheapest you would reccomend

i mean i put in a bottleneck calculator for both gpu and cpu intense actions its around 10-13%

[meager mortar]

I feel like no bottleneck calculator is really that good, it would be way too complex to simulate a real life scenario

Your specific ram, motherboard, cooler etc can affect it. Not to mention that all CPUs and GPUs are not made equal

[queen obsidian]

I’d go for a 6750xt new. Used I’d look for a 6700xt, 6750xt, 680p whatever you get a deal on

[tropic gulch]

yeah yeah makes sense but also dosnt seem bad to check it out for a furure build as a rule of thumb ig

[tropic gulch]

feel like thats too much for me, i am just playing minecraft and cs2 rarely anything intense also im on a budget so trying to go am5 for as cheap as possible

[meager mortar]

I mean... maybe Arc...?

[tropic gulch]

but im interested in going with a 1440p ultrawide monitor so maybe i should get a little stronger gpu

[tropic gulch]

im buying a used gpu so it ends up as a better deal anyways

but ill see maybe a 6700 xt if i can strach my budget since the 5700 xt and 6600 xt are really simular in performance

[queen obsidian]

A 6700xt is $200 used

[meager mortar]

You can get an intel Arc A750 used too, and looking now I find them cheaper than 6700 xt used.
According to GPU-Monkey the A750 is more powerful than the 6700 xt too

[tropic gulch]

250 euros the cheapest one on ebay thats a lot more expensive than a 5700 xt used but possibly worth it

[meager mortar]

But your mileage may vary

[queen obsidian]

Fb marketplace

[tropic gulch]

yeah they are way cheaper im just looking at it

are the driver issues fixed?

[near nymph]

https://youtu.be/C7PubmPu-3I?si=rrLNtJV8VLrSt7ZI @grim belfry No wonder I felt a tingle from my taxi

[meager mortar]

I dont know for sure, but I think they have been.

[tropic gulch]

intel and amd parring the works fine or will it be bug sometimes?

[meager mortar]

People on reddit on a post 3 months ago are saying its fine for them

[meager mortar]

amd cpu?

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000096161/graphics.html

[tropic gulch]

yeah should work fine

[meager mortar]

What I would really suggest is waiting a little longer if you are able to

Because were right around the corner for both AMD and Nvidia to release new GPUs

[tropic gulch]

yeah yeah they will lower previous gen prices

[meager mortar]

People are likely to start putting up their cards for sale and stuff

[tropic gulch]

in summer they drop right?

[meager mortar]

Ye ^^ (reply to your previous msg)

Oh uh idk when

[rocky briar]

hi

[meager mortar]

Im waiting for AMDs next CPU lineup, trying to be patient lol

[rocky briar]

is icloud safe and secure?

[tropic gulch]

hHahah good luck

what do you have now

[tropic gulch]

i think q3 2024

[fossil frost]

as safe and secure as any cloud storage can be... but "the cloud" is just somebody elses computer, in some other location... you are effectively handing over control of your data to somebody else (but thats the same for all cloud storage)

[meager mortar]

I got a R5 3600 (non X), paired with a 3060

[rocky briar]

so i shouldnt worry?

[meager mortar]

Weird how I ended up with the same kinda numbers for both cpu and gpu

[tropic gulch]

yeah that would be a big jump im sure it will be worth the wait

[tropic gulch]

hahahah yeah

[fossil frost]

you are better off doing actual research, and actually looking into things, rather than asking someone on discord... discord isnt research

[meager mortar]

Discord is advice and help, not solution

[tropic gulch]

does anyone know what the part thats missing is called, its seen in the third picture(i think thats it atleast)

[meager mortar]

this cpu is chugging quite a lot

[meager mortar]

Its likely just some aesthetic thing it seems idk

[tropic gulch]

well i sure hope so

[meager mortar]

So atm Im just waiting for files to transfer. I got a new SSD today and Im gonna upgrade my C: drive

First Im backing things up however

[lapis roost]

good morning linus tech tippers

[rocky briar]

how is this discord so like chill and not active?

there used to be so many peopl e here

[meager mortar]

I think the novelty of the discord server wore off, its just too big of a community

There might be some exclusive floatplane server, I imagine that would be heaps more active

Ive been here for ages now lol but extremely rarely chat anymore.
Smaller communities are easier to connect with

[queen obsidian]

Mk

[pliant leaf]

people who actually know their stuff mostly move to the floatplane chat, while here it's swarmed with people asking for advice

LTT public discord is basically a slightly better organized PCMR server

and with a higher average IQ

god i see some DUMB shit on the pcmr server

[tropic comet]

hi!

[harsh quartz]

Depends on the time of day

[tacit falcon]

I know that silly.....I mean recovery, as when I try to put it in a memory card reader it says protected

[meager mortar]

I just want to clone my C: drive, why does that have to be such a nightmare

[strange elk]

Clonezilla

[harsh quartz]

Windows 🙂

[harsh quartz]

Or having a dedicated cloner

[strange elk]

That is a dedicated cloner

[harsh quartz]

That’s software though right?

I mean a dedicated hardware cloner

[strange elk]

It can be used on a pendrive. There are no "hardware cloners"

[harsh quartz]

…you sure about that?

[meager mortar]

Might try clonezilla

Ive used filezilla before, not sure if its the same people behind it tho but ye

[strange elk]

Why are you trying to make it difficult, this isn't your problem

[strange elk]

They are both open source projects, unsure if its the same people behind it

[meager mortar]

yea it could just be -zilla

[harsh quartz]

I’m not, I’m saying it’s an option and your telling me it doesn’t exist, when I’ve used one before :p

[strange elk]

I mean if you want you can buy one of those things for like $40 but.. You can do it for free with software.

And thats basically all they do, run software to copy the data from one drive to another

[harsh quartz]

Okay, but I’m just giving an option, and you’re calling me a liar, and I don’t take too kindly to that. I understand there might be better options, but I’m not a liar

[strange elk]

I'll be honest I misunderstood the definition of "hardware cloner", just woke up and I barely acknowledge those exist because they aren't too worth getting unless you are doing a lot of cloning

Or dont care about spending money for one time uses I suppose

[meager mortar]

It seems Clonezilla is linux only tho...?

[strange elk]

Nah

Program itself probably but its meant to be run live on a USB pen

[woven jetty]

Clonezilla is Linux

[meager mortar]

that does seem hella sketchy

[woven jetty]

Nah

It's not sketchy at all, been using it 20 years

[strange elk]

Honestly its the better method over keeping the OS booted

[wispy marsh]

1. use any OS
2. burn iso to usb
3. boot clonezilla
4. profit

[meager mortar]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[woven jetty]

You'll run into all sorts of shadow copy/VSS issues if you try to clone a running Windows drive

Not worth the hassle

[strange elk]

I was the same way starting off in FOSS lmao. Kinda jank hacked together ecosystem but can't deny its effectiveness and freedom

[meager mortar]

IG Ill go clear my usb drive then

[woven jetty]

Create a Ventoy drive if you're just going to clear it anyway

[meager mortar]

a what

[woven jetty]

Bootable USB drive where you can select which ISO you want to boot

[strange elk]

You can just slap ISO images into the drive once its set up and do that.^

[meager mortar]

ye?

[woven jetty]

You provide the ISO of course

[meager mortar]

I can just put the USB drive in with the iso and run it through bios...

[woven jetty]

Yeah

[meager mortar]

It works with any like FAT32 drive

[woven jetty]

It has it's own media creation tool

But IIRC it does use FAT32, maybe exFAT

If you wanna get real nerdy iVentoy supports PXE booting

[meager mortar]

I really just want Disk A = Disk B

Idk why that is so complicated tbh

[woven jetty]

It's not complicated

[strange elk]

Stick with Clonezilla, worry about Ventoy later

https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Clonezilla

[meager mortar]

It is though. I've spent a good while copying files and whatever and making backups.
Because its such an unreliable process.

Having to look up on places for software, or how to do it just through windows.

I udnerstand there couldnt really be a single button or program for it. But a whole long process for something seemingly basic

[wispy marsh]

robocopy SRC DST /MIR

I use lvm 1:1 on linux so there's that

[meager mortar]

dumb it down ffs

[wispy marsh]

Lvm is kinda complicated

[meager mortar]

Im well versed arund computers, but I know far from everything

[strange elk]

Source destination mirror

[wispy marsh]

If you don't need drive mirroring and you just need your files to be copied over

Then yes, robocopy does that

[meager mortar]

so

Why do I need an external usv drive with a program then?

[wispy marsh]

I assume you wanted to clone from drive to drive

[meager mortar]

yes

[wispy marsh]

I use clonezilla* to clone my old failing nvme to my new shiny nvme

[meager mortar]

...

[wispy marsh]

Robocopy is for file management

You want to back up your entire C drive?

Take my word for it that if you're just a regular person, %programdata% and %userprofile% will be 99% of the things you need

[meager mortar]

What is "regular person" then

[strange elk]

Someone who doesn't have any desire to use Linux whatsoever (or does)

[wispy marsh]

Don't have additional partitions, don't have network drives

Don't store stuff they want to backup on usbs

The usb is a stretch since i also store important stuff there but i use robocopy to back up my stuff

[meager mortar]

Well Ill try clonezilla once my usb data is just copied over rq

Its only a few gb but usb drives arent known for their blazing speeds lol

[wispy marsh]

When you use clonezilla, make sure to clone over the drive ID

They will throw you a warning that if you don't then some programs don't like that

[meager mortar]

yea

Ill make sure to remove my other drives too that arent realted, just as a precaution

[somber pond]

hi

[eager notch]

PC overheating, what do?

[indigo comet]

reminds me of when I found an i5 6th gen or something in a dumpster and I didn't even put new thermal paste on it

used it for like 2 years with the stock cooler not even being screwed in bc I didn't have a back plate for it to fit into

[eager notch]

I like your style

[strange elk]

Never thought I'd say this but.. My linux audio is more reliable than windows rn

[harsh quartz]

Throw the whole pc away

[meager mortar]

Clonezilla doesnt want to launch at all, idk

[past fjord]

What is folding and boinc

[lilac bear]

did you know instead of waiting for a response here it's actually better to use Microsoft Copilot for questions

[trail wasp]

Hello guys.

[frozen zenith]

what's the most interesting fact you know ?

[bright silo]

a basic thunderstorm releases the equivalent amount of energy to 100s of atomic bombs

[strange elk]

I love big corporations when they do the thinking for me

My brain hurts if I use the keyboard too much

Or of I gotta read the arch docs

[frozen zenith]

thats interesting

[dreamy granite]

does hashcat process rules by order, if rule 1 is on line 1 it will be processed first?

[silver dagger]

fresh installing a Apple OSX on a 2016 mac book pro is NOT fun... the command R booter always fails to download sierra properly

[tepid herald]

21:9 oled will be awesome

[inland oracle]

bruh microsoft is so confusing wtf is happening??
all i'm trying to do is log into outlook, and cause i don't have authenticator it asked me to confirm a code with a backup email.

but the email was titled "account password reset" and when i put the code in it took me to a password reset screen when all i wanted to do was log in?

so i thought okay i'll just do it and then when i tried changing my password it didn't even let me

"session expired" i literally did it at a fast pace

ok i get it 🤦‍♀️ i clicked this cause i lost my phone with the authenticator app and im pretty sure this option just sends you through the password reset. so stupid

fucking microsoft

why the fuck is the password the 3rd option under "other ways to sign in"

[austere shale]

Hopefully by tonight I should be able to roll out v1.4 of my discord bot. Notable features are adding the ability to ping users when a game in the suggestions list goes on sale. Also some minor bug fixes with the steam store price fetching

[sinful pagoda]

🫡

[full fossil]

which channel should i ask help :). i am giving up guys. really need your help

[graceful burrow]

#1027757333117415424

More if you have access to the floatplane channels

[ancient stone]

Public

More like selectively private

[graceful burrow]

I gotta set up a VPN to my home network

[atomic osprey]

Question

When a concert is titled X band with Y

where Y is the support

How many songs does Y play

[sage quiver]

Direct support or are there other openers

[atomic osprey]

Only opener

And I don't know X that well but I've been following Y since he was homeless

[sage quiver]

Could be up to 10-12 songs depending on the headliner's show

Is this an ongoing tour or upcoming?

[atomic osprey]

ongoing

[sage quiver]

Can look it up on setlist.fm, or shoot me the artists if you don't want spoilers

[spice pine]

good morning :3

[languid wind]

anyone else having dissapearing taskbar icons on windows

some apps are just
no icon

[graceful burrow]

Works on my machine

[atomic osprey]

sent you a DM

[grave heath]

i like how im no longer a floatplane subscriber but I still get weekly floatplane update emails 💀

[languid wind]

it's only apps from the microsoft store
like settings and calculator

[graceful burrow]

Works on my machine

See if there's a windows update or try rebooting the computer

[languid wind]

pretty sure it happened after a windows update
and actually idk if I did reboot i think i did

[graceful burrow]

What's stopping you from rebooting right now though

[languid wind]

other accounts open on the laptop

[woven crag]

hi

[full fossil]

UwU

How many ppl are on 3mb internet speeds

[vapid smelt]

This ain't 1999 so maybe 2 others

[full fossil]

💀

[nova needle]

I had 700kb/s until like 2017

[full fossil]

480p da best I can get on video quality

[full fossil]

That’s even to slow for me

[silver sun]

154

[full fossil]

Iv had 100mb Internet until I had to pay for my own 💀

[nova needle]

The amount of suck that a 700kb/s internet speed provides is immeasurable

[vapid smelt]

Do you live in the Alaskan wilderness?

[nova needle]

Germany

[full fossil]

Mine drops to under one meg sometimes everything internet connected turns off

[nova needle]

Having to pay stuff also sucks. I could get gigabit internet but when will I use that much bandwidth? Prolly never

[full fossil]

I’m paying more for 3mb than 100mb

[nova needle]

Now imagine my joy when I reached 850kb/s peak for a few seconds.

[full fossil]

I can only physically use 3mb one

[nova needle]

I reckon your cabling to your router or to the street sucks ass?
