I had to speed limit mine to below that briefly

[vapid smelt]

In my works warehouse thats 1/4 mile long I get 70 up and down with 2 ping on wifi

[nova needle]

sucks to suck

rn I get 250mbit and that is more than enough

[full fossil]

Tf its speed up to like 15mb again

[lilac spoke]

hi all

[nova needle]

I could do with less but only if the ping is fine when 3 people watch YouTube and stuff

[vapid smelt]

Now you can watch 4k Netflix

[full fossil]

I’m happy with just over 2mb

[nova needle]

Ayyyyy lets goo

[nova needle]

That ping looks asinine, you poor thing

[full fossil]

I don’t even understand how much ping that is

Like 2 seconds?

[nova needle]

2 seconds would be 2000ms

When I play League, I get a ping of 13-16ms

[full fossil]

It would be pointless to try to game on this

[nova needle]

Try it anyway

[full fossil]

During the day double ping than now

[nova needle]

Jesus christ so what do you do all day then?

[full fossil]

Not much

I have to keep my quality on the lowest that it will literally let me use and no discord vc in the day

[nova needle]

I recommend something like Cities Skylines, Anno 1800 or Civ6, these games don't require internet to have fun

[vapid smelt]

Are you on satellite?

[nova needle]

This is mine btw

[full fossil]

I’m keeping all my data local to avoid slowing internet

[full fossil]

4g unlimited sim

[nova needle]

U wot

You got no cable going into your home?

[full fossil]

I miss those days of above 10mb

[full fossil]

Nope

[nova needle]

You better move places then

I mean if you can live without online gaming, it's no big deal but ... cmon

[full fossil]

It’s not the best I try to keep everything local or offline when possible

[nova needle]

This kind of slow internet was the reason why I built my first NAS

[full fossil]

It’s why I’m setting up a nas aswell

[nova needle]

Great minds think alike I guess

What kinda NAS are you building?

[full fossil]

I did have a pi hole on Ubuntu I’m just going to put open media vault on it instead

[nova needle]

That's what I'm using as well

I tried TrueNAS but it doesn't have support for WiFi so I had to go with OMV

[full fossil]

Im gonna back up my photos to omv aswell

[nova needle]

That's a good idea

[full fossil]

Free up bandwidth

[nova needle]

Make sure to follow the 3 2 1 rule tho :P

[full fossil]

My local network is 1gb my router only has 100mb Ethernet

[nova needle]

Well in your case 3 2 1 is kinda hard to accomplish

[nova needle]

Router straight out of 2005

[vapid smelt]

Then why are you getting 3g speeds

[full fossil]

Data will be on iCloud, proton drive and omv

[nova needle]

Neat

[full fossil]

I’m switching to proton more secure with how uk is going

[nova needle]

Are you gonna stay in that hole or are you gonna upgrade

[full fossil]

I’m only low income

[full fossil]

It claims to be “4g”

[nova needle]

Easy solution, just have money, duuh, silly

[full fossil]

I use same provider as phone get 4g on phone

[vapid smelt]

Restart the game and buy the dlc that starts you in a rich family

[nova needle]

Yeah exactly

With a small loan of a million dollars

[full fossil]

Ah how didn’t I think of that silly me

🤔

[nova needle]

Noob gamer moment

[full fossil]

I don’t own any games

💀

[nova needle]

Like I said, I can recommend Civilization VI

[full fossil]

Imma see if I can get that in my budget

[nova needle]

You can dig hours into it and there is a slight possibility of you being able to even play it online

[strange elk]

Warframe

[nova needle]

It's a round-based strategy game where you play one of dozens of civilizations and try to win through war, sience, culture and other stuff

[full fossil]

Will that run on Debian?

[nova needle]

Lotsa fun if strategy is your cup of tea

It will be fun on debian ... IF you have an Nvidia GPU

[full fossil]

I lack

[strange elk]

Wait nvidia is supposed to be BETTER? On LINUX?

[nova needle]

Unfortunately, this game only runs on Nvidia cards in Linux. That is why I made a VM with an Nvidia GPU passed through to it JUST to play Civ and other games that don't work on Linux

[nova needle]

Bummer

[strange elk]

Haven't seen that before yet.

[nova needle]

Usually AMD is better, generally, but for that specific game? You gotta go Nvidia. It simply doesn't work on anything AMD/Intel

[full fossil]

Imma go put my phone on charge now

Still on an iPhone XR

✨

[nova needle]

You could also try Cities Skylines, it's also a game where you can spend hours in, but it's completely offline

[strange elk]

Rip. Warframe is free to play though it requires internet. I'd peruse GOG for your purposes though.

[nova needle]

You just build a city and try to manage it.

[full fossil]

I will note that down as something to purchase

[nova needle]

Since Cities Skylines 2, the first iteration is available for cheap during sales

And it is VERY mod friendly, so the lack of DLCs it not even a problem

[full fossil]

Will it run on Debian tho

[strange elk]

Ye

[nova needle]

Yup

Cities runs on basically anything

[strange elk]

Running Linux Mint and it runs perfectly

[nova needle]

Did the same

[full fossil]

Do I need to enable anything or can I just start it

[nova needle]

And Zorin OS, Nobara OS and other stuff as well

You can just start it like any other Steam game

[strange elk]

You need to learn how Proton works probably

[nova needle]

Required you use proton ofc, idk if it's native

But it should be

[full fossil]

Debian is common so should be available

[nova needle]

Just one spoiler: your first city will suck beyond comprehension

[long briar]

Write protected?

[full fossil]

Is it just s check box?

[long briar]

Read should be fine, write protected is the switch on the left side of the SD card

[nova needle]

Yes

[strange elk]

It is*

[nova needle]

You only gotta enable it in Steams general settings and you're golden

"Use Proton for every game" or something like that and boom, it works

[strange elk]

Protondb has more details on what's compatible or not. Distro generally doesn't matter

[nova needle]

Oh, on that note, what kind of system are you running it on?

[nova needle]

Yeah, but Cities 1 works great

[full fossil]

A laptop

It still should run it even if slowly

[nova needle]

With what kinda hardware?

https://www.protondb.com/app/255710

[full fossil]

Not got it on me

[nova needle]

sudo apt install neofetch

neofetch

Thats how you can look up your general system specs

Looks kinda like this

[full fossil]

It’s not on me atm it’s low end tho

[nova needle]

As long as it's something from the past 5 years, you should be able to play it

[full fossil]

Meets requirements for most basic games

[nova needle]

You don't need to have 129028123098fps for that game, even 30fps are fine since you're just building something

[full fossil]

It is

[nova needle]

Then you're fine

[strange elk]

Me when kernel is 5 despair~1

[nova needle]

That wasn't my nefoetch :P

[full fossil]

Gotta charge phone now

[nova needle]

I'm on Windows 10, currently lacking NAS and 2nd PC so ye

[nova needle]

HMU if you need help in Cities Skylines :P your first cities traffic will suuuuuuuck

[strange elk]

damn man Im so misunderstood by everyone its almost depressing lmao

[full fossil]

Hope my laptop doesn’t melt down

[nova needle]

It probably will lol

It's mainly CPU intensive

But you can also burn down your GPU if you turn up your settings and enable certain mods

[full fossil]

I’m gonna put a fan under where cpu is before I dare open the game

[nova needle]

lmao

That's probably a good idea

[strange elk]

Borderlands 2 might be a better "test" if performance is the worry

[nova needle]

Remember how they said "i got no games"? :p

And that budget is a factor

[strange elk]

Yeah :/ difficult

[nova needle]

Thank god you can just return the game on steam

If it doesnt work you can just give it back to them

[full fossil]

How much is it phone stoped properly loading webpages

[nova needle]

Depends

Different countries different prices you know

[strange elk]

My drive is being written to weirdly

[nova needle]

Right now it's 27,99€ for me, but on sales I've seen it go down to like 8€ or something

I live in Germany btw

[full fossil]

That’s barely within budget but doable

[nova needle]

Needs an i7 930/FX 6350 and a GTS 450 GPU with 8GiB of RAM

[nova needle]

Well since you're a brit, it's gonna be less than that prolly

[full fossil]

I have spare laptop ram to use

[nova needle]

Ayo that's a win

Cities also likes RAM

[full fossil]

I have a 8gb stick to put in will have 12gb in total

[nova needle]

Then you gotta Putin that stick like it's Russia

[full fossil]

Will do

[vapid smelt]

By faking it

[nova needle]

Didn't even acknowledge the bad pun, sadge

[full fossil]

I can’t pick up on queues

[nova needle]

That is unfortunate

[full fossil]

does this chat support adobe photoshop piracy

[nova needle]

No

[full fossil]

it doesn't work like that

[nova needle]

Read the rules

[strange elk]

bruh glazed over the rules

[full fossil]

4+8 =12

[vapid smelt]

I don't use Adobe products, but fuck their prices

[nova needle]

And the inability to buy lifetime licenses

[strange elk]

I certainly can say I dont support them or their business whatsoever

[full fossil]

fk that in general

[nova needle]

You're only gonna get dual-channel for your first 4GiB of RAM, but that's fine

[full fossil]

I will get that game when can

[full fossil]

I’m fine with that

[nova needle]

It's lotsa fun if you enjoy city builders, management and planning

I always get lost in the tiniest details

[full fossil]

Nice :3

[nova needle]

Oh it is

[full fossil]

I hope to get a phone that actually lets me see images on webpages

[nova needle]

lmao

[tropic gulch]

do i cop arc a750 for 217 euros free shipping

[vapid smelt]

What's your current card

[full fossil]

I have an iPhone XR it’s age starting to show

[nova needle]

I'd send pictures of my last city but I seem to have lost them

[nova needle]

I was running on a Galaxy S7 until a few weeks ago wdym? :P

[vapid smelt]

Imagine not having 5g smh

[tropic gulch]

igpu laptop but im planning a build

[full fossil]

That’s not a concern compared to 2000s internet speeds

[nova needle]

@full fossil

That is my current city

[full fossil]

Nice 😁

[nova needle]

Traffic works relatively well

[vapid smelt]

I would say wait till the end of the year for the new cpus/gpus to launch, but you having a laptop cancelled that out

[full fossil]

I will have to make sure I can get good proformance

[nova needle]

Really depends on your laptop, if you get to it, try to look up the specs with neofetch

Running the game on 30fps is fine btw, you don't need fast reflexes or whatever to build the city

It's just a little annoying, but it's still fun

[full fossil]

The real world ain’t fun

✨

[nova needle]

It really isn't

Hence why we escape to fictional worlds

[full fossil]

Iditot YouTubers my current escape

[vapid smelt]

It's a good price and a decent card

[nova needle]

Then you gotta try Cities fo sho, you can actively create your very own world, literally

And you can tax the shit out of poor people while not taxing rich people like it's supposed to :)

[full fossil]

:3 yay

[nova needle]

But yeah you can set policies like that

[full fossil]

Money

99 percent tax poor 1 rich

Hi

✨

[nova needle]

You can only tax them up to 30% :(

[tropic gulch]

yeah but i just relised school is for one more month so by the time school ends i start my summer job the prices will probably be cheaper

[nova needle]

What a awful world where you can't tax poor people at 99%

[full fossil]

Ah I can’t make ppl in poverty 😦

[nova needle]

Oh you can

People will move out at around 11-12% tax

[full fossil]

10.9 percent tax

[nova needle]

6.9% tax

[full fossil]

😁

[tropic gulch]

make it 30 so they dont have enough money to move out

[nova needle]

[full fossil]

I should change my hdd out probably

Data not on laptop be fine

[nova needle]

Oh yeah an SSD would be strongly advised

[full fossil]

I can get a cheap 120gb ssd

[nova needle]

The loading times will be horrendous but you only gotta load once per starting up the game/city

[full fossil]

120gb do?

Anything above bit of a stretch

[nova needle]

60-80 of that will be your OS prolly

But the game doesn't need much

It's not a dealbreaker on an HDD

But you have to expect at least a minute in loading times

[full fossil]

I plan to use stuff on a mini pc sever to reduce space on laptop

[nova needle]

It's 15GiB on my drive

[nova needle]

Noice

[full fossil]

The mini pc has no active cooling so gotta not push it to hard

Weird things dell do

[nova needle]

Imma go play League with friends so hmu in my dms if you need more info

[full fossil]

Will do

[nova needle]

Can answer here and there but can't follow public chat like that

[full fossil]

It’s fine

I will just note down key stuff

[edgy moss]

W or L specs

[nova needle]

L

[full fossil]

If you have a gpu your rich to me

[edgy moss]

damn

[full fossil]

Yay :3

[edgy moss]

what if that is not the only gpu i own

[full fossil]

Uper tax brackets

[edgy moss]

or just a teen with no bills

[nova needle]

I got a 6700XT, a 970 and a K400

[full fossil]

*Teen with bills

[full fossil]

Nice when that lasts

[edgy moss]

I have a 6750xt, a 2060 super, and an ARC A380

[edgy moss]

which is why im enjoying it with my many graphics cards

[golden talon]

L maybe

idk…

[edgy moss]

[golden talon]

i try neofetch but it doesn’t say my gpu is a H100

[full fossil]

I am saving all my money after I have just enough tech I need

[golden talon]

Idk why but nvidia driver moment maybe

[edgy moss]

god fucking damn

can i uh, borrow that

what the hell are you using a H100 for

[golden talon]

nothing

it idles on gpu-z all day

[edgy moss]

oh sweet

ill pay for 30 dollars for it

[golden talon]

$30 an hour is a deal

[edgy moss]

how about 45 and i get to keep it

[edgy moss]

(this guy's gpu is 30,000 dollars)

[full fossil]

Cries in poor

[edgy moss]

i mean id rather buy a brand new car

but thats just me

[full fossil]

Id just not spend the money

[nova needle]

Yeah

Id invest it tho

[edgy moss]

maybe make a down payment on a house

[full fossil]

House prices in uk say no

✨

[long briar]

if you spend 30k on an acclerator you probably don't need to make a down payment anymore

[edgy moss]

perhaps buy 20 4090's

[long briar]

either you already have a home, or you don't plan on getting one cause 30k is not enough for a down payment

[edgy moss]

true lol

just saying things you could do with 30k

[nova needle]

Like travelling the world on a bike

[full fossil]

Id buy backup power for my stuff

[edgy moss]

yeah maybe a month long vacation to somewhere exotic

[nova needle]

A year long vacation you mean

[full fossil]

Full eco flow system

[nova needle]

30k would last me like 2-3 years lol

if not more

[full fossil]

Id also complete my network

[sterile rivet]

Oh hell nah twitter user detected

[full fossil]

And still have 25k left

Twitter is a hellhole not going on that website

[nova needle]

Yeah cause it's not Twitter anymore

Fuck twitter tho

[edgy moss]

?

[full fossil]

My pfp is similar to what twitter users use

[nova needle]

seems like a normal pfp to me

[edgy moss]

maybe twitter 2 years ago

[full fossil]

It’s twitter I ain’t changing what I call it

[full fossil]

When it was more left yea

[nova needle]

And then they .... left

Heh, I'm so funny

[full fossil]

They just moved to TikTok

[nova needle]

tiktok sucks

[full fossil]

It does I stopped using it years ago

[nova needle]

I never started

Its such a waste of time and you don't really get anything

[full fossil]

Helped me with my transition all it did good for me

[nova needle]

Well fair enough

[full fossil]

It’s now blocked at the domain level in my router

[hearty lodge]

hey guys i'm new to the server

[median idol]

Discord is like the only social media platform I even use these days

[full fossil]

Yea any others you have ppl fighting over the smallest things

[nova needle]

AMD better durrrrr

[full fossil]

I have not owned a gpu that don’t work on me

[nova needle]

Well if you wanna play Civ6, now you do

[toxic pollen]

alright y'all, I need your help. I'm going to a camp (i know everyone there and have gotten permission from the heads to do this) next week and I need your advice on things I can do that are.. mischievous. I want to do trolling, but not necessarily hacking. I will have a MacBook and Rasberry Pi, but I can purchase other things if you think they'd be useful.
I want this to be funny, not damaging.

[vapid smelt]

Bring a emp

[cedar pebble]

It’s funny but probably not damaging

[toxic pollen]

any real ideas though?

i'd like to do something goofy like hacking a bluetooth speaker

[vapid smelt]

[ionic abyss]

i see people dont like driver updaters

i see some uses for them but dont update drivers you dont know exactly what it does

and for a vid were they bricked a laptops keyboard

desktop is different from a laptop

[graceful burrow]

you do realize most laptop keyboards just use an internal usb connection, right?

you know
like the same that desktop systems use, only on a desktop it's external, via wire?

[ionic abyss]

laptops tend to use propritary stuff more than desktops

[graceful burrow]

i can see interacting was a mistake, my bad

[ionic abyss]

lol

[lilac bear]

every time your face show up here

[long briar]

laptops tend to be more integrated than desktops... I wonder why

[graceful burrow]

yeah the least desirable people are here so it seems every time i show up they're there

shame

[ionic abyss]

i tend to trust some programs and others i use when i have no choice

[frank fog]

so I cloned my drive to go from my 500gb to my new 2tb and everything is working fine but no apps will output audio. Windows notifs and permission requests work just fine, but no games or browser tabs are outputting audio. Device is a legion go and all drivers are up to date

[quasi belfry]

I wanna make my own water block

U do editing or something?

[sterile garnet]

Nah its just a better mb

nvm the drivers were fucked. Quick reinstall did the trick

[strange elk]

You did an entire single generation upgrade for a motherboard?

[graceful burrow]

single generation upgrade?
what?

b450m to z790 is more than one generation lmao

if you wanna narrow it 5600x to 14900k is also more than one generation lol

[strange elk]

Man. I can't keep up I guess.

intel had like 5 in that time

my bad 2

Ah chem, my arch nemesis

I wish you luck.

My only final was a short speech presentation for one class which I just winged then immediately left even though I as supposed to stay till the end cause I was working some event with my school

[barren carbon]

hi

[dreamy adder]

Anyone else unable to access Unifi.ui.com?

[neon mesa]

Presentations are one of those things i absolutely dread thanks to my social anxiety, until it actually comes my turn and my nerd mode turns on and somehow i become A+ public speaker.
As long as the topic is what I'm good at that is kek

(A+ is an exaggeration)

On my former vocational school, one of the final exams for graduation was being a news reporter, let's just say my speech was not speeching. More stuttery than 4x SLI.

[pliant karma]

lol now I that I think about it I dedicated more time to my remote brodcast class then I did with any other class this semester

Took CS for college.

[olive osprey]

guys, i just spilled water all over my monitor

how long should i leave it off for

[long briar]

depends, at least 24 hours though

wait on top or where

how do you get water over the monitor??

[olive osprey]

i was drinking water, my friend said the most out of pocket funny thing and i sprayed it all over the middle of it

like a mouthful

[long briar]

oh

just wipe it off and you should be fine

[olive osprey]

bro i turned it upside down and ITS LEAKING

[long briar]

if it's not actually inside the monitor...

[olive osprey]

it is

[long briar]

ok nvm it's not fine, disassemble and dry

lmfao

[olive osprey]

can i just leave it

for like 3 days

[frozen zenith]

specs ? /s

[long briar]

I mean.... sort of?

Do you live in a warm environment?

[olive osprey]

like infront of a fan or summ

[long briar]

yea this would be optimal

[olive osprey]

near toronto so like

[long briar]

oh

humidn't

[olive osprey]

yeahhh

[frozen zenith]

are those chonky ass cables vga s?

[long briar]

should be alright

just leave it in front of a fan

if it's not dead right now then it probably won't die later

water damage is generally pretty instant

[olive osprey]

so i sprayed it, i rushed to the power cable to unplug it and it was fine in that 10 seconds

[long briar]

I have my priorities so that if I knew i was gonna pull a spit take I spit at something less important

if it's at home it's my pants

outside it's usually onto the floor then apologize and clean it up

[olive osprey]

its always when u drink water broo 😭

[pliant karma]

yep and some old ass TriCaster system I curse at on a daily when I had to operate it. @restive lion can fill you in on how old that fucker is.

[olive osprey]

bro i just bought this too

[long briar]

It could be worse... like peace tea...
one of my friends was drinking peace tea and heard another friend talk about how someone else jammed fries up his nose to the point where he cried and sneezed... she spat it all over me

[olive osprey]

THANK GOD HOLYY

[long briar]

that stuff is so annoying to clean off

[long briar]

Physical ortholinear keyboard spells pain

[blissful sail]

it's good man

[long briar]

no it really isn't

[blissful sail]

lights up too :)

why isn't it good

[long briar]

you couldn't pay me to to use ortholinear

if it was staggered then it'd be ok

this

[blissful sail]

ah I see

i may return it

[long briar]

they're like 110 right?

I don't remmeber how much those phones cost

[blissful sail]

sucks cus I just finished setting it up for 2 hrs signing into all my shit

nah $300

[long briar]

I always found the novelty to be amusing

ok absolutely not

[blissful sail]

it's a new phone

lol

ok I'll return it 😂

[frozen zenith]

ortholinear triggers me

• will be clicking all the wrong keys

[solemn axle]

I like it and would pick over Pixel 8

It has a character

[blissful sail]

o thank you :)

i type very fast with it too

[long briar]

Pixel 8 has character too!

[solemn axle]

I mean, my score is 57 wpm, so anyone is faster than me

[long briar]

it has a camera bump thicker than ur pp

[blissful sail]

😂

i think it actually looks cute

it had headphones jack and expandable storage too

and it can be used as a TV remote lol

[long briar]

it looks cute for a phone that came straight out of 2011

[solemn axle]

idk, i don't come in the electronics store with a ruler

[long briar]

I have one 🙂

Pink P8

very hard to recommend without a case

the edge of the camera bar is actually really sharp

[blissful sail]

now idk if I should return it or not :(

[near nymph]

Tip... Always record your AliExpress package openings...

These mother fuckers sent me the wrong model

[long briar]

you don't even have to record the package openings actually

just send the two pictures and say you got the wrong model

[solemn axle]

open dispute anyway

[near nymph]

The funny part is...

This is the Uni-T Official Store fucking up

[solemn axle]

AliExpress often picks the customer side

[long briar]

if it's Aliexpress choice, they might just give you refund and tell you to keep it

[near nymph]

I'm telling me refund my shit

Or imma charge back.

[long briar]

They will don't worry

you don't need to be aggressive with em, they're very customer sided

[solemn axle]

they did refund a lot of stuff for me even with photos only

[long briar]

same

[solemn axle]

you can even try to order counterfeit stuff and return the money after since their policy prohibits fake goods

I did it once with the OW themed mouse that was looking like the one from Blizzard

[long briar]

don't abuse that though

[gentle slate]

I'm officially a windowless household

[long briar]

My high school had no windows!!! (Don't know if they changed yet or not)

[strange elk]

Me not being able to degoogle because android WiFi pings google to check connectivity

[near nymph]

I love AliExpress but holy shit

Some of these sellers are stupid

[long briar]

I mean

stuff happens

[near nymph]

I mean... True. If they let me keep it I'll just have a spare meter

[long briar]

I've only had the wrong thing sent once

[near nymph]

UT61E isn't that bad of a meter... Good for day to day shit

[long briar]

UT61E... not the cheapest meter either though

I think what might happen is they do either

Return and refund or keep and partial refund

Though I believe you can argue for a higher partial refund

[near nymph]

It's a cheap meter compared to what I bought

[long briar]

true

[near nymph]

The meter I bought is more expensive because of the certifications

And. Also the protection circuitry is shit in the Chinese model compared to the one designed for the western market

I might giveaway this UT61E to my dad. Or friend

I have a Brymen already

[long briar]

My mac feels really slow currently since resetting it, especially while hovering over the dock or finder, does anyone know what this could be? (M1 Air, 8GB RAM)

45 amps is a fuck ton of current
i think you need something a little more specialised than a standard atx psu

welcome to retro pc builds
you need alota current on 5v

just dont wanna get an old psu or cheap chinese one and blow it all up

Don't make recommendations before you can actually make good recommendations

multiple accounts - not like I care about X anyways.

With multiple accounts they get more money from ppl?

[indigo sierra]

guys i wuanted to move to ios and i have been wondering what would be an ideal choice for a first iphone , should i wait for the 16 or buy a 15 or any other iphone ?

i mean the problem witht the iphones bellow 15 is that they have a lightiing cable instead of usb c

my older sister got a iphone 14 pro max for work

i needed an iphone for photgrpahy and gaming

[chilly nova]

best iphone is no iphone

[full fossil]

You want an iPhone you shouldn’t except it to be like any android

[strange elk]

Pixel/samsung might be better

[indigo sierra]

android market is falling down i mean most chinese companies from what happened to huawei

[chilly nova]

lol

[indigo sierra]

whats the odds for that happening to samsug or xiaomi

[strange elk]

None for samsung

[indigo sierra]

99%

[chilly nova]

lies

[indigo sierra]

people in the past tought they would be fine buying huawei

well in 2022 everything changed

[chilly nova]

huawei are garbage. android is an os not a phone brand

[indigo sierra]

lmao i know that

[strange elk]

If you can't accept Samsung as a high profile brand that isn't gonna be banned then idk how to help you, get an iphone and good luck gaming lol

[full fossil]

Google makes best androids to me

[indigo sierra]

pixels a have a nice camera,but i dont like the os interface

[strange elk]

Its android.

[indigo sierra]

its to simple

[full fossil]

Android is android

[strange elk]

You can change it.

[full fossil]

It’s not set in stone like my iPhone

[indigo sierra]

what iphone do you have ?

[full fossil]

Launcher exist on android

[strange elk]

You think Pixels are simple wait till you get an iphone.

[full fossil]

Xr

All budget can fit

[indigo sierra]

i know that iphones are limited but i wouldnt need to worry about compatibility since apps come first to ios

[chilly nova]

ive used nova launcher for about a decade

[indigo sierra]

and i know that iphone charging is kinda slow

[strange elk]

Tell that to apps that need a JIT compiler. And emulation. And everything else android can do that iphone can't..

[full fossil]

Use a launcher on any android phone to get what you want and stop bitching

[strange elk]

Olauncher is what I use rn. Neo launcher for a more traditional launcher.

[full fossil]

I can’t demonstrate since I don’t own an android

[indigo sierra]

should i wait for the iphone 16 or buy a 15 ? the 16 maybe could have a nice charging system than the 15's

[full fossil]

16 is supposed to be cooler in use

Id go for the 16 if I could

[indigo sierra]

i know but i never used an iphone

maybe if i wuent to the normal 16

[full fossil]

My decisions aren’t yours

[lunar raptor]

If you're committed to buying an Iphone why are you asking anyone elses opinion , just buy it.

[chilly nova]

iphone manufactured in china. watch out they might get banned

[indigo sierra]

im just asking

💀

[full fossil]

Seems like you want the 15 or 16 get either

[indigo sierra]

no they are made in ohio ||jokes||

[full fossil]

News flash most phones r

[strange elk]

M8 you are banning androids from your mind because you dont like pixels UI and samsung is too much of a commie company apparently

[chilly nova]

that wasnt the point

[smoky agate]

where do i ask wallpaper questions

[indigo sierra]

ask chat gpt

[smoky agate]

no no a problem with wallpapers

[full fossil]

Samsung is Korean not Chinese tho

[strange elk]

I know

But they are comparing it to Huawei

[indigo sierra]

so everything we know would be banned tough

[strange elk]

Good

[indigo sierra]

your tv, microwave,laptop

[full fossil]

One has play store one doesn’t take a guess witch one has it

[chilly nova]

indeed

[indigo sierra]

we all have something made from china

[strange elk]

We should ban life because its in bad faith

[chilly nova]

oh god they banned huawei because the chinese gov have their fingers in the pot. how do we know they arent installing spyware on iphones. thats my point /facepalm

[lunar raptor]

The problem with the west is we won't work a hundred hours a week for a bowl of rice , they will in china that's why most things are made there , more profit for the companies.

[full fossil]

Shitting yourself over any Chinese involvement stops you doing 99 percent of things

[full fossil]

We are being watched by someone all the time it can be google governments or any company

That’s not secret in 2024

[strange elk]

Truly. If you use Facebook you're already losing.

[full fossil]

Privacy don’t exist companies already know everything about you if you have a internet connection

If your seeing this you have already lost that game

[strange elk]

Eh. At least you can mitigate the footprint you leave

[full fossil]

Yea

Only thing can do

[strange elk]

I'm still tied to Google right now but facebook is completely banned on my network.

[chilly nova]

oh god, somebody said android was on the decline thats why they are choosing iphone. because of huawei crap phones being banned. i was just saying iphones are manufactured in china aswell and could be open to spyware the same as crappy android phones

[full fossil]

Good luck banning everything then

[strange elk]

Because of an incident before covid times even. They said 2022 but wasnt this 2019

[full fossil]

I’m banning anything Chinese from mine that’s it

[chilly nova]

dont get me started on vpn's being the perfect way for governments to see absolutely everything you do

[strange elk]

Facebook is literally the worst. My network traffic when my quest 2 is on is incredible.

[indigo sierra]

it was trump that banned,i mean,isntead of a perm ban a great choice would be a temproray ban until huaweui stopped the situation,with google services huawei would lead the race

[full fossil]

Swiss vpns I use

[strange elk]

No other thing I own is so invasive

Even roku TV

[full fossil]

Pihole :3

[strange elk]

Yes, thats how I know lmao.

8k requests daily, 30k blocked from my quest in one day

[full fossil]

Ubuntu did that to me for some reason

[strange elk]

8k with no headset I mean

[strange elk]

Ubuntu pings for connectivity check, I blocked it but its basically the equivalent of pinging google from what I understand.

[full fossil]

It did it occasionally but it did it 10 times every second after about a month

I will hope raspberry pi can deal with the requests a 4 core amd couldn’t deal with Ubuntu’s requests

Dropped your tinfoil hat

[strange elk]

I mean my pi blocks 30k a day like I said

[full fossil]

Nice then

[strange elk]

Sorry 30k Ina half day

Average day

Quest 2

[full fossil]

I have everything as one client

[strange elk]

Using Linux Mint, haven't experienced that though

[lunar raptor]

looks like you have more involvement in facebook than zukerberg lol

[strange elk]

Less than the average quest 2 user

[full fossil]

Im going to try connecting to pihole as its own client to stop it blocking my routers

[strange elk]

Mint is for my main OS, pihole runs pi OS lite (Debian based)

[full fossil]

I am gonna try Debian

Debian based stuff works welll so Debian should

[strange elk]

Debian is slower in terms of updates but its good

[full fossil]

I think a Ubuntu upgrade bricked my server

[lunar raptor]

Debian is only slow with updates because of its testing , it doesn't release until they are sure they have found any bugs

[grim belfry]

Was it Ubuntu, or was it you?

[strange elk]

Set up something like Timeshift

[full fossil]

Ubuntu I had no interaction with the server since I set it up months earlier

I kept automatic updates on

[full fossil]

That’s good then what happened won’t happen again

[grim belfry]

Set and forget is not the best administration strategy but you do you

[strange elk]

Unattended updates may need attention

[full fossil]

That’s what I do

[near nymph]

Gotta love when getting scammed on AliExpress

[full fossil]

Ah I can’t fix it now connects to network it turns it off due to how many requests it makes

[strange elk]

Take your network offline temporarily?

[full fossil]

Changing it to omv so imma just wipe all data on the server

[strange elk]

Weird that its that bad never heard of that before. Must struggle to run notepad

[full fossil]

It was 100,000 requests in 2 mins

[strange elk]

Good god what

[full fossil]

300,000 after 5 mins

[strange elk]

Yeah something is very fucked up with your setup, ive never even gotten 100k in a whole day. 80k but.. Quest 2.

[near nymph]

@grim belfry Let's see if a Chinese company will do me right

[full fossil]

If I left it over 10 mins my internet access will get blocked my sim provider

[grim belfry]

To be fair they’re basically the same product so maybe a partial refund at best

[full fossil]

All the ram and cpu gone

Im setting up 2 incase this happens again

[near nymph]

Eh. UT61E was made for the Chinese Market. There is a UT61E GS made for the European/Western market which this isn't. UT61E+ would be the equivalent of the UT161E but less safety stuff inside.

[full fossil]

hi

[near nymph]

I bought the UT161E specially for the Third Party Testing and stuff. Western Certifications and stuff.

[grim belfry]

Ah I’m missing the +

[near nymph]

Lol the UT61E doesn't even have a backlight for a meter this pricey

[grim belfry]

[near nymph]

If I wanted a Chinese meter with low safety standards. I would have just ordered off Amazon 😂

[grim belfry]

Safety is just corporations scamming you /s

[near nymph]

Hmm odd... Some of my cells are labeled differently.

[near nymph]

I agree. Just high voltage battery leaks from Chinese EVs are perfectly acceptable. The worst that could happen is a brain hemorrhage /s

[strange elk]

Me when I get brain hemorrhoids

[harsh quartz]

OSHA would like a moment to speak with you, nothing serious, but I do hope you have good medical insurance 🙂

[near nymph]

Pfff medical insurance doesn't cover OSHA violation

[harsh quartz]

But does it cover osha violating you?

[near nymph]

Nope

[harsh quartz]

Unfortunate

[grim belfry]

I live somewhere with quite a good healthcare system, no need for medical insurance 😉

Nor do I have to worry about OSHA

It’s nice not being American 😌

[strange elk]

Damn you boreship

[harsh quartz]

Imagine not having osha, just everyone dying at work left and right

[grim belfry]

I think you’ll find we have a much lower rate of workplace fatalities

The US has a 2.86x higher workplace fatality rate in comparison to Australia

[potent timber]

because people in Australia actually have brains?

[grim belfry]

Some do, some don’t

[blissful sail]

is it bad that im using a phone from china that has some bloatware

people are telling me google apps are way worse

[strange elk]

I mean

[blissful sail]

idk if i should return or keep this phone

[undone mountain]

hey just a question can i run both amd and nvidia cards on a single pc

[blissful sail]

these are the bloatware apps

[karmic topaz]

At the same time no sli is also dead

[blissful sail]

and it wont let me uninstall it

[undone mountain]

cause i have a rtx 2070 still does great in these days and a rx 570. Is it possible to use the rx570 as the recorder thingy majig on obs and rtx for the game???

[karmic topaz]

I have a 4090

[winged yarrow]

No you can't sli different cards like that

The nvenc on 2070 will be more then enough without harming performance

[undone mountain]

good for you i guess but a 4090 is like a down payment for a vehicle or a lot n house in my country

[winged yarrow]

It is in every country lol

[karmic topaz]

I am in the usa

[grim belfry]

It’s probably fine, but if you’re really worried you can use adb to force uninstall them.

[undone mountain]

im not gonna use sli but act as a different different thing on its own like on davinci resolve while its rendering (on the rx570) i can game on the 2070.... idk im dum hahahaha

[karmic topaz]

/Alberta Canada

[winged yarrow]

No it's conflicting packages it won't work like that

[undone mountain]

i see such shame

[winged yarrow]

The 2070 can do most of what your asking on its own anyway

Doing what you ask of the system won't work anyway as something is going to take priority over the CPU anyway and most of resources

[undone mountain]

not really because rendering a 14 hour long footage takes ages and my 2070 would be strugglin a lil bit well a lot i can only browse the net and play warcraft 3. im just hopin its possible since i wna play some games while its rendering well such shame

[winged yarrow]

Then maybe best bet for you is to get a secondary system for that

For rendering

[undone mountain]

true but with this economy

just sayin

[winged yarrow]

Can pick up a system with 3700x or something different for about £300 it's all expensive I know but best way to resolve your issue

[undone mountain]

this rig im usin right now was made back at 2018 or 17 its already a few years old and i dont wna throw the investment i made away

[undone mountain]

ill prolly look for that

3700x huh amd cpu ive used a ryzen 3 2600g before might look for that

[winged yarrow]

Use the 570 in that second system I'd suggest or pick up 1070 for about 100-120 options are endless but money issue yeah

[karmic topaz]

Then don't moan we have tried ok I build pcs at this point I would ask you to go to another place because we are trying but I guess that's not Enough for you it's called tech help

[winged yarrow]

3600x 3700x you'll prefer them over any "g" models as the memory controllers are poor and loss of performance isn't really worth the money saved

[undone mountain]

no need to get to get salty woke up in the wrong side of the bed get some more rest then. im just stating facts which is real that anything is expensive nowdays and money aint easy to get

[undone mountain]

aight ill take that up to note

[winged yarrow]

All depends where in the world your located

[undone mountain]

already searching on the net here right now and i find some decent deals

[winged yarrow]

I'm UK most parts like that go for pennies here

Built 10700k system 2070 super 32gb of ram for less than 350 other week got some good deals

[undone mountain]

true if you live in the western side of the world and work pc parts are cheap but the eastern field quite a fortune and investment

[karmic topaz]

No it's I tried but still not Enough for you. Goody just don't say that stuff. I am from the country which means if IM getting a lot annoyed. I m gonna fking tell ya that's why I am not responding for a sec if you want to plug sht in ok but that's your risk

[winged yarrow]

After my recent experience with 5600g I can't say it makes much sense for the 30 extra used for the 5600x

[undone mountain]

2600g was fine but i prefer my i7-7700 idk just feels fast

[winged yarrow]

The fact you get pcie 4.0 and much much better performance on 5600x than any of the models for sometimes less than them just pushes me towards that

But fact you can pick up 3000 series so cheap helps also

[undone mountain]

overall in both of yours perscpective whats a decent budget meal cpu thats good enough like the i7 7700?

[winged yarrow]

Anything 3000 series or above

[undone mountain]

well i did take both of their advice read the chat dont get easily mad anyways cheers

hmmm whats a decent psu should i bundle that up with

[winged yarrow]

I would agree if there was much of a upgrade path

If you go 3600x you've still got a lot of headroom to upgrade in future all the way up to x3d chips

[undone mountain]

lets say budgetwise itll be 800 bucks (20% of my savings) what can i get with that

[winged yarrow]

Of course it would but you didn't read rest of what I said

If 800 id go am5

[austere shale]

Man one thing you’ll realize in this discord the second you complain about how expensive things are nowadays people get reallll weird for no reason

[winged yarrow]

8600g

Ddr5

Easy

[undone mountain]

lets exclude the psu since i have a spare seasonic 750w

[winged yarrow]

I mean let's say we stay on am5 then yes 7600 would also be good but going am5 just makes sense

[undone mountain]

ye was wondering why i wasnt even talking to him at that point then he suddenly burst out

[winged yarrow]

Over anything intel since they change socket like they change socks

It's not the sacrifice it's getting as new as possible for time being

But also on a dead socket

[undone mountain]

real question is price wise how much is the difference?

[winged yarrow]

That is my point your going to get atleast a generation of cpus before he needs to change

[undone mountain]

that sounds reasonable

[winged yarrow]

Can pick up board and 7600x for about 320

[undone mountain]

sweet i can reuse my 128gb ram lyin around since my dum bum thought a my mobo can use it when its limit is 64gb

checkin it out

ryzen 5 4500 any good???

[austere shale]

Agreed, unless you’re going for a super budget build and even then there is better options

[undone mountain]

well its only for 60 bucks idk if thats a decent deal

aight ill find that one

50 bucks ryzen 5 5500? decent price??

60***

cant find much of intel 10th gen above only 9th gen bellow

aight ill add it to cart then

how bout for the mobo

anything u know that has a lot of sockets for either sata or m.2

5600g? any good?

[long belfry]

Is there a way to transfer photos from a iPod to a phone?

[undone mountain]

120bucks tho...

[undone mountain]

icloud

ye all outa stock man its selling like hotcakes

well for my country atleast

found one although its second hand kinda sketchy but its for 55 bucks

[winged yarrow]

Avoid and get 5600x if you can help it

Pcie 4.0 support much faster CPU

The 5600g is basically a 5500 with igpu

[short quartz]

@austere shale did lighting your hand on fire hurt?

[short quartz]

Finish the work if it’s required by your boss

[austere shale]

Nah didn’t hurt, didn’t even feel it

[short quartz]

[full fossil]

As long as its quick it wont hurt

Imma go back to watching some guy wire a generator hook up

[cyan pine]

[full fossil]

I have better security than a big company

[cyan pine]

i shred all my hard drives at the end of every single day

i am in horrible debt

[full fossil]

You do to?

[austere shale]

Just gotta outplay the hackers, have your password be all stars like ******

[full fossil]

Now iv gotta shred my house put in the house number

👀

[cyan pine]

or you add a ◒ to really mess with things

[full fossil]

Some passwords are weak you know someone has put there ssn as a password

[fierce moth]

I have a yubikey

Yubikeys are cool asf

[full fossil]

I just use 2fa auth app and texts when no auth app

[cyan pine]

i just wish you could store more that 32 passwords on it

[cyan pine]

i used the google 2fa for a while but stopped after it kept loosing all my accounts every time i switched phones

[full fossil]

iCloud or Firefox genderated passwords it I don’t know my passwords the hackers can’t

[full fossil]

I’m keeping my phone active before I switch to a new one to make sure I can keep my google auth

[cyan pine]

the problem was i had to get my current phone after my previous phone was destroyed due to water damage

so no chance to migrate accounts

[full fossil]

I lost all my accounts before due to google auth not actually moving my accounts

[fierce moth]

I also use bitwarden for TOTP 2FA

[full fossil]

I’m careful about that I just keep enough so my phone can get repaired

I will be switching to proton pass for passwords and 2fa codes

[fierce moth]

Bitwarden is the best password manager tbh

[cyan pine]

repair wasnt possible for mine unfortunately

which is a shame because i liked my old phone

[fierce moth]

Like 10 usd a year and you get a bunch of neat features

[full fossil]

My phone just loves chewing through batteries

[cyan pine]

i switched to 1password after my lastpass sub ran up

[fierce moth]

And you don't even need to pay if you don't need TOTP codes or yubikey 2fa

[austere shale]

I get like 2-3 years before I destroy my iPhone

[full fossil]

I use proton vpn on my router easier to just use proton pass already paying for the vpn

[fierce moth]

I use mullvad for my vpn

[cyan pine]

same

[full fossil]

I use Switzerland to uk secure vpn on proton

[austere shale]

The only time I use a vpn is to make my location Germany when I gamble on CS2 games

[full fossil]

I use vpn all time in router so my ip is even less trackable even when I use a sim router for internet

[short quartz]

and proton vpn is free so thats very noice

is it fast?

[full fossil]

Yes

My internet speed is low and I still 95 percent of the speed on proton

[full fossil]

I pay for the more secure part of it

2 hops before reaches the internet instead of 1

[austere shale]

Trynna hide from the feds or something damn

[full fossil]

Free don’t let you use uk servers my bank only works on a British ip unfortunately

[short quartz]

oh

im from britain-

[full fossil]

Use Australian vpn for everything that don’t need to be in uk

Semi scared of someone tracking me down online aswell
