[ebon lantern]

I’m not angry don’t take it as that!

I definitely think on your use case your specs could use some changing, what we talking here? Gaming? Editing?

[wild drift]

I don't think you've been paying attention to the leap soundbars have been making recently. He covers in the most extensive detail that a few of the most recent soundbars from Samsung and Sony are superior to a modest 5.1 setup

Also I have one. So I can +1 to this

[merry gull]

VR and recording for gaming, hence the 12GB card, and for productivity, VMs which should be no problem. I don't really edit videos except for jump cuts so I should be fine

[manic torrent]

"I got a good soundbar for my lounge" != "I designed a home theater" 🙂

[wild drift]

Thats a big part of why it's so wildly interesting to me. They are getting cheaper and they are quickly overtaking traditional home theatre setups. I didn't think it was physically possible to produce that level of improvement on the sound with small drivers but fuck me sideways they are doing it

[wild drift]

Yeah but that's just one part of it. There are many other aspects to talk about in home theatre

[wanton hollow]

hi

[ebon lantern]

hmmmm, at that price point I might do a 5800x3d if you don’t mind am4

[merry gull]

mmm well i already have the cpu and ram so im kinda stuck

ill upgrade the gpu soon™️

[ebon lantern]

ok that’s fine!

please do not upgrade the gpu if you don’t want to, I’m sorry I came off rude I was just very confused

[swift cargo]

Get yourself a sweet rtx 4070 super

[merry gull]

I made a stupid decision, you're fine

[merry gull]

I'm not paying $700

[ebon lantern]

what’s your budget gonna be

[merry gull]

besides how much VRAM does it have?

[ebon lantern]

I think 16

[swift cargo]

At least it's going to use your processor properly

[merry gull]

like 1100

[ebon lantern]

nope 12

[merry gull]

I don't use GPU that much so I don't think it's worth it for me to get, honestly

[manic torrent]

.... that is garbage

"use your processor properly" what the fuck does that mean

[thick scarab]

Is the Strix a good laptop?

[merry gull]

I think they're talking about bottlenecks

I'm well aware that my GPU choice is the bottleneck

[ebon lantern]

what headset are you using for vr?

[swift cargo]

Hardware bob is about to rage I think

[manic torrent]

I know exactly what he's saying, it's just stupid

[thick scarab]

Both performance and display wise

[merry gull]

Q2, thinking about going to Index because I fucking hate Facebook, Meta, Oculus, whatever the hell they are

Horizon

[ebon lantern]

lmfao yeah

[merry gull]

I don't know anymore

[manic torrent]

"I am GPU limited in many gaming scenarios, but it works for my use case" is apparently "OMG UR SO BOTALNECKED WITH UR GPU"

[ebon lantern]

so

[merry gull]

the most gpu intensive game i play is valorant, sometimes 💀

[ebon lantern]

from my experience

[swift cargo]

Just use a bottleneck calculator to check if you have it

[ebon lantern]

the amd 7800xt codec is fine for vr and runs games perfectly fine

[swift cargo]

🙂

[manic torrent]

Any time anyone says bottleneck/ed There is a 99% chance they are an idiot

[jaunty nova]

Hello everyone! I noticed these wet places on the tubes of my pc is this anything bad? Its across the whole tube btw not only the fittings.

[merry gull]

not exactly the most accurate

[manic torrent]

No.

[ebon lantern]

so I honestly easily could recommend 7800xt, 7900 gre, 7900xt and 7900xtx all for gpus choices

[merry gull]

Not going AMD

Absolutely not

[ebon lantern]

why?

[graceful burrow]

God's no

[manic torrent]

it's leaking. Drain the whole thing, check the O rings, they may need to be replaced and lubed - the pipe may not quite be long enough, or it might not be screwed in tight enough

[merry gull]

I prefer CUDA and better RT, I forgot to mention I use Unity as well

plus their cards are so ugly

[swift cargo]

Same, bout an rtx 3090ti for 1500€, I'm happy with it

[graceful burrow]

Oof

[ebon lantern]

xfx is beautiful

anyways, 4080 super

[swift cargo]

I didn't get enough money so I got i9-9900k

[merry gull]

I don't feel like being wrongly banned over something shitty that AMD released

[graceful burrow]

oof

[manic torrent]

wut?

[jaunty nova]

it has been running for a whole year so i dont know if its leaking. i just noticed it today. its also a clear liquid. is it maybe condensation?

[merry gull]

Back when I actually had an AMD card they released something called lagframe plus or something stupid? got me VAC banned

I am NEVER going back to AMD

[manic torrent]

that is possible depending on your environment. 1 year is time to replace the fluid and service it anyway

[fierce tinsel]

Go Snapdragon.. and then give us performance numbers.

[merry gull]

not to mention it kicked off Ubisoft's anticheat and also banned me from there

[ebon lantern]

amds not perfect, but there performance values is way better

[graceful burrow]

Sounds more like Ubisoft just being Ubisoft lol

[merry gull]

Ubi's stupid, Steam VAC is a bitch

I sorted things out with Riot

[graceful burrow]

Never gives me any issue

[jaunty nova]

i've also had thermal issues with this pc for example gpu being 84 degrees when gaming and cpu 85 (3090 ti and 14900k) i've drained the loop 3 times now. reaplied the thermal paste every time. put different coolant in it. and cleaned the waterblocks several times.

[manic torrent]

and are the fan/pump curves set right?

[merry gull]

Apparently a lot of other people had this issue

[jaunty nova]

i just left it on stock tbh

[graceful burrow]

Yeah if Ubisoft's game breaks a lot of people are gonna have issues lol

Weird how that works

[manic torrent]

get fancontrol

[swift cargo]

Nvidia GPUs are just more compatible with everything

That's why I prefer them

[merry gull]

It's literally the GPU that fucked me sideways on 3 platforms! It's shit!

[jaunty nova]

is that a software?

[swift cargo]

Yes

[ebon lantern]

amd had a fucking glitch, let’s not look at the benefits of it!

[manic torrent]

yes, I use it with my WC system to control the pump/fans and see what's going on

[graceful burrow]

Too logical! Extrapolate Anecdotal evidence to justify me hating a whole brand!

[jaunty nova]

im downloading it now. only problem is is that i dont know what settings to use lol

[merry gull]

Hey I didn't say I hated the brand, I hate their GPUs

[jaunty nova]

btw i think its condensation since my room is pretty cold compared to other rooms

[manic torrent]

there's a bunch of yt videos on it, but from a pure testing POV you can set everything to 100%

[ebon lantern]

anyways, amd gpus are good, love my 7800xt and I will never buy Nvidia, I know plenty other people who love there gpus

[jaunty nova]

alright i will play around with it and see. thank you allot for taking your time to give me advise

[fierce tinsel]

I'm still hoping Intel doesn't give up on Arc before it can become a real 3rd player for GPU's..

[swift cargo]

On plenty of people who like amd GPUs, there are thousands of people who prefer Nvidia

[merry gull]

I mean, neither is perfect but I experienced bans off platforms using their hardware and the occasional driver crash on Nvidia

[ebon lantern]

yes I’m begging

[merry gull]

I would much prefer a game crash and a penalty for match dodging than a ban for some stupid little glitch

[ebon lantern]

this is like the first time I’ve ever heard people say they like Nvidia more then Intel bestie

it’s not just Nvidia crashing

it’s there prices and value

[fierce tinsel]

It feels weird to be rooting for Intel, but I'll get over it.

[ebon lantern]

for example

[fierce tinsel]

I still rock nVidia GPU's cause I've not had a good experience with AMD since it was ATi.. mostly driver side.. but nVidia gets no good will from me.

[ebon lantern]

the 3050 from 8gb to 6gb

no price change

In a game world where we need more ram, they lowered it

[fierce tinsel]

Cause they COULD.. what are you gonna do? Run AMD? laughs

[ebon lantern]

amd has been perfect to me

I had driver issues ONCE

and it wasn’t hard to fix

[fierce tinsel]

Steam Hardware Survey says why they don't worry about AMD.. AMD to them is like Apple was to MS.. a way to avoid Antitrust..

[ebon lantern]

Yeah

people will not buy amd and they know that

[manic torrent]

3050 is low tier though, the 3070 is worse, because the GPU is capable, and is held back by ram

[fierce tinsel]

One day I'll give AMD another chance, but after several different products being iffy for me, and issues on work comps, I still put my money where my trust lies.. even if I don't like it..

Also GPU wise in then gen I really wanted Raytracing and all that, so it was nVidia regardless..

[manic torrent]

I have both. They are fine.

[vapid smelt]

only a fool would buy a 3070 right bob

[manic torrent]

A fool who had no other options!

[fierce tinsel]

In the next few years I'll be looking to replace my laptop so I'm really hoping that Intel has a nice mid-range performance wise GPU by then..

[merry gull]

I feel like most floatplane subscribers pay them only to have the mods here kiss their ass and not really care

[grim belfry]

Just download more ram

[manic torrent]

You can feel that, but it is objectively not the case, I assure you.

[fierce tinsel]

One of these days I'll sub to floatplane.. I really want the full Kallmekris experience..

[merry gull]

I've seen ss from that channel, it's disgusting

[manic torrent]

Indeed it is a wretched hive of scum and villiany

[smoky badge]

Hey bob

[merry gull]

VIIBEEE

[manic torrent]

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but you seem to be harbouring some sort of very specific grudge

[smoky badge]

Coder

[vapid smelt]

i pay the mods off with gift cards when i get in trouble /s

[manic torrent]

Sup

[merry gull]

I think the forum has declared me dead

Havent signed in over like 2 years now

[manic torrent]

www.floatplane.com/modbribe

[grim belfry]

Lmao what

[smoky badge]

how’s your day

[ebon lantern]

um

I feel like most floatplane users subscribe to floatplane for the extra content

just a slight thought though

[grim belfry]

Yeah lol

[ebon lantern]

call me crazy if you must though

[smoky badge]

shit, I did it for the chat

[covert cradle]

Unfathomable

[manic torrent]

Absolutely fabulous.

[ebon lantern]

dang I must be losing it

[covert cradle]

Now that's fathomable

[vapid smelt]

i mostly pay langely off with BeaverTails giftcards i think he spends it all on their pastries called the mehple and strawberrry cheesecake beaver bites

[smoky badge]

..

[covert cradle]

Are those like dunkin munchkins?

[vapid smelt]

idk its a Canadian store

[covert cradle]

Er, donut holes ig is the generic term

[vapid smelt]

but if you sponsor my trip to canada i can tell you if they taste good or are similar to dunkins munchkins

[covert cradle]

If I had the money to go on a trip to Canada I'd be going to find out myself lmao

[fierce tinsel]

munching on timbits right now

[merry gull]

I wanna live in Canada, buuut I'm not 18 yet so I can't
Rest of this year until Aug 3 and then next year

Afterwards I'm fucking off from the US

[manic torrent]

just get more money

[alpine gale]

Hawt damn, I miss having these at the local ski mountain.

[covert cradle]

If that's an offer I accept

[jaunty nova]

Alright so i did a cinebench and heaven benchmark. And in cinebench multicore my cpu got 82 and in heaven benchmark my gpu got 71. Thats with my pump on 100% and my fans on 70%

[manic torrent]

that is highish for CPU, but it's not hitting limiters, so should be fine

[jaunty nova]

Well, it did go to 5ghz on the p cores

[manic torrent]

oh, it's a 1X900

yeah forget everything those puppies will set fire to the world

[jaunty nova]

Lmao they do

I guess the cpu is alright then?

Still feels not ok for custom watercooling. I use the velocity 2 waterblock aswell wich should be really good

I will test the gpu in some games tomorrow since heaven doesnt always push the gpu temps it seems

I have another custom watercooled pc with a 4090 and the 4090 runs 60C on 4k cyberpunk with path tracing

O well its not like i didnt expect some good ol troubleshooting when deciding to use CW

[manic torrent]

look at how much power your CPU is using. I would suspect a bazillion W, because holy shit intel

[jaunty nova]

Yeah the max power consumption is 380 watts its absolutely rediculous

I dont know how much it pulled while testing though so i will have to check that

[left summit]

Currently looking for a small screen for my setup to run spotify and thats it.

You know what would've been great if it wasn't killed off?

[manic torrent]

JFK?

[pallid falcon]

A lot subscribe for #pilot-toast

[ebon lantern]

Never said people didn’t, I said most

[pallid falcon]

Your phone?

[left summit]

Not synced up to my sound system

[ebon lantern]

Search up 7” monitor on Amazon

[pallid falcon]

Then sync it?

[left summit]

Can't. my PC is attatched to it.

[pallid falcon]

Spotify connect to your pc..

[left summit]

Even then, spotify phone has no landscape mode

[alpine gale]

Just tested this on my OnePlus 5T running Android 10 - Spotify has landscape mode...

[alpine gale]

Oh joy - the browsing mode has landscape, but the Now Playing window does not. Why? Because screw making an app that functions properly in landscape mode ON ALL VIEWS in the app. sigh.

[left summit]

Samsung Galaxy S23+, Android 14, Version 8.9.50.552. No landscape

[manic torrent]

spotify syncs itself. You don't need to have it "synced"

[restive lion]

connected*

[left summit]

Ohhh so the reg view has it then

I was only looking in player

[alpine gale]

Yee it seems that way. But that's kinda stupid IMO. If an app supports landscape or portrait mode on any screen, I expect ALL SCREENS within the app to be supported in both modes.

[restive lion]

clearly the solution is to buy a sound card for audio input and a raspberry pi with a 5 inch display that outputs to the sound card that then feeds to your sound system

[left summit]

If only they already made a UI style that would work for a landscape mode that they've used on a product that they have now killed off.

[thick scarab]

Strix G18, Strix G16, or Legion 7i Pro.

[alpine gale]

What ever are you talking about? Surely a company would not manufacturer thousands of hardware units only to deliberately turn them into eWaste less than 2 years later!?! That would be immoral! CarThing intensifies.

[pallid falcon]

Wasint the car thing.. thing.. just a really shitty android device

[left summit]

It doesnt even run android iirc.

It's literally just spotify.

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[alpine gale]

Yeah, it was a 512MB(?) RAM potato hardware device running a custom Linux client whose sole purpose was to display information from the Spotify app via Bluetoth, and allow playback controls + basic browsing of tracks / playlists without the need to touch your phone.

Was really nice too, cause this means I could leave my phone running GPS maps whilst using CarThing to control Spotify.

[left summit]

Heres the kicker about the car thing though, after killing it the solutions they gave... DONT WORK WITH MOST OF THE VEHICLES WHICH WERE ACTUALLY BUYING THIS.

[pallid falcon]

My maps software puts a spotify thing either on the bottom of the map or left side depending horizontal of vertically

[left summit]

most of the people who bought carthing for their car was because they didn't have AA/ACP or Bluetooth or an AUX port (With this you could just buy a Bluetooth adapter) built directly into the vehicle. and then Spotify had the audacity to list these as solutions.

"Spotify in the car

Take your favorite music and podcasts along for the ride.

Use any of these to connect your phone to your car:

• Spotify Connect
• Bluetooth
• AUX or USB cable
• Android Auto
• Apple CarPlay
• Also, many car media systems offer a Spotify app built into the stereo.

For compatible devices, check with the manufacturer."

[alpine gale]

I could probably get away with that if I had a bigger phone screen, but I kinda like having a dedicated device too. It also meant my passenger could control the music without butting into my phone, and without me having to remember to setup a shared thingy in Spotify everytime too.

[pallid falcon]

Example

Ido how it exactly works that's google map's deal

[alpine gale]

Ah see I use Waze, and the Spotify integration in Waze is... less than stellar. Like, it works, but literally only provided PAUSE, Next Track, and Prev Track last time I used the integration. Very lacking in features.

[silk island]

yaaaay two more sleeps until i have a macbook pro in my hands :D

[rigid pawn]

wyf

Wwtf*

Dammit I can't type

Never mind

[wispy marsh]

Wwdc was last week, so wwtf is correct

[rigid pawn]

No I was referring to something else I probably shouldn't bring up here

[rigid pawn]

Is it bad I forgot people still use waze?

[restive lion]

thats all google maps offers too afaik

[rigid pawn]

Like didn't Google buy Waze?

[restive lion]

what more do you need when you're driving

[manic torrent]

waze =~ google maps

there is no difference

[grim belfry]

pretty much

I just prefer the google maps ui

[rigid pawn]

I haven't used Waze in so long, I thought Google killed it

[restive lion]

our company phone have waze via mdm for some reason

[rigid pawn]

Meh. Prob cause they're basically the same

[alpine gale]

Traffic / Accident / Hazard / Police reporting is far better in Waze, as is the real-time re-routing functionality when aforementioned incidents occur. Otherwise yeah, Google Maps and Waze are mostly the same.

*This of course depends on where you live.

[manic torrent]

yeah - but it uses the same reporting data

[alpine gale]

True that. They just display it differently.

[silk island]

hi again kirashi, long time

[vapid smelt]

@alpine gale are you still enjoying your spotify car thing ?

[alpine gale]

Whilst it's still functional, yes. Come December I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

[rigid pawn]

I just don't understand, why if you're satisfied with the spotify dashboard, just buy a cheap tablet and use that?

[grim belfry]

I think the car thing would be much nicer to use than a cheap tablet

A nice nob to turn etc

[alpine gale]

I don't want to maintain a separate dedicated tablet in my car. I would have to pay for a dedicated cellular plan for it too, or remember to enable hotspot on my phone everytime I drive.

[strange elk]

Let me advocate for ewaste rq-

[alpine gale]

I do love a good knob to turn. No seriously; car dealerships will hate me in 5-10 years when I ask for vehicles that still offer physical climate / radio controls. 🤣 Touchscreens (in cars) are safety hazards.

[strange elk]

I hate almost every industry because of this. Everything needs a screen, everything needs internet. EVERY FUCKING OVEN NEEDS TO SING

[silk island]

respectfully i disagree touch screens are amazing

[vapid smelt]

cant be on your phone but you can play with your built in car tablet

[grim belfry]

[silk island]

it’s an opinion.

[grim belfry]

Is it though when I have no other options?

[rigid pawn]

Idk. Only thing I really agree with is the knob. Sliding a phone into a dashholder doesn't sound like an issue to me

[alpine gale]

To be clear, I want the best of both worlds: touchscreen mapping controls and physical climate / media controls.

[silk island]

i’m waiting for the day when cars are fully autonomous

[grim belfry]

No muscle memory with touchscreens

[strange elk]

I want a 5th gen iPod so bad. Because I like having physicality. A screen to see is fine but dont make that the main interface.

[manic torrent]

no. Touch screens are great, but having them as the ONLY option is terrible.

[vapid smelt]

i like being able to keep my eyes on the road feel for the button or nob i need to change like for a new radio station or to change my ac

[rigid pawn]

And I agree that the damn touchscreens that cars like Teslas are implementing suck ass

[hot tartan]

I still really prefer knobs and buttons for music and ac

[restive lion]

what about turning on your wipers or whatever

[strange elk]

Tesla is the fucking worst

[rigid pawn]

Ikr

[grim belfry]

I do wish I had the option of a touchscreen instead of just idrive when typing

[cedar pebble]

I can’t wait for the accelerator and brakes to be digital 😋

[grim belfry]

At least tesla does it well

[strange elk]

I used to want their cars but.. A delorean is way more appealing to me.

[manic torrent]

oh, idrive for typing is terrible. For navigating a menu though? A+++++

[alpine gale]

Yes, I too like to not drive off the road into a crowd of pedestrians simply because I was attempting to turn on my Windshield Wipers due to the car's inability to detect that it's raining.

[vapid smelt]

tesla as the best idea keepin it all in the screen who needs wheel lever or button for that /s

[manic torrent]

do you like reversing into a lake and dying?

[silk island]

i actually like the interior of teslas but i refuse to buy a tesla because of elon musk

[grim belfry]

Great while driving, but i don't want to draw like a toddler to use satnav

[silk island]

that and i don’t have the money for a tesla lmao

[cedar pebble]

Tesla QC is also the best 🙏

[vapid smelt]

used tesla tanked in price

[alpine gale]

You know... Your honor, no comment. 🤣 Seriously though, I want smart automobiles, when they're actually ready for the market.

[manic torrent]

buy tesla shares. Ride the high. Sell tesla shares. Buy a camry.

[rigid pawn]

I disagree. It can get extremely complicated, plus without power you're fucked

[manic torrent]

like.. idgaf, more billionaires in the water the better, but the fundamental problem with reverse in teslas is there for everyone.

[fierce tinsel]

I strongly wait for the regulations that force easy ways to enter/exit an electric car when the powers dead..

[grim belfry]

I'm comparing it to the likes of fisker etc, that have laggy, poorly designed interfaces. Of all touchscreen only cars, tesla does it best

[strange elk]

And hardware based is always going to be more reliable than rolling software.

[manic torrent]

that's a null point. Without power you're fucked in anything, anywhere, anytime

[grim belfry]

Google "Tesla emergency handle"

[manic torrent]

nothing is hardware based, it's 2024.

[strange elk]

It was in 98

[restive lion]

my 2008 honda accord is still hardware based

[alpine gale]

As someone who's friends own a mid-2010's(?) Model 3, yeah ... they can't even use the built-in dashcam because the software regularly corrupts recordings. Had to install an aftermarket dashcam.

[manic torrent]

even in 98 it was marginal

[fierce tinsel]

I've seen it.. some are easier to access than others.. and theres no easy way into the car.. see them breaking the window the other day to save that kid that got locked in..

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu-tJc-BgaI

[grim belfry]

Same with any locked car? Don't leave a kid in a car on their own

[strange elk]

How often do you update a car computer on a Toyota from 2005?

[restive lion]

bruh i havent even updated the maps

[manic torrent]

newsflash, cars have had computer updates constantly.

[fierce tinsel]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/21/24183439/tesla-model-y-arizona-toddler-trapped-rescued ..

[rigid pawn]

Ehhh iirc, it is only with Teslas where you are totally locked out

[fierce tinsel]

" but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again."

[manic torrent]

oh, teslas are just absolutely fucked all over, so eh

[grim belfry]

BMW makes you pay a subscription for map updates :(

[restive lion]

whats really funny is that all this car shenanegins is forcing people to buy phone holders again

[vapid smelt]

#MakeCarHandelsNormalAgain

[restive lion]

"no i will not pay your subscription when i have a perfectly fine map on my phone"

[strange elk]

They aren't even metal?

[restive lion]

gone are the days of carplay/AA

[grim belfry]

Don't worry it doesn't have carplay either

[restive lion]

yeah i know

hence the phone holders

[manic torrent]

updates to ECUs are done as part of normal servicing for basically every car.

[rigid pawn]

Fun fact I have never heard of fisker

[alpine gale]

Excuse me, but you need to renew your "BMW Discussion Subscription" to continue this conversation.

[thick scarab]

Is the Strix Scar 16” still worth it if I get it in the 4080 configuration

[restive lion]

he takes his car to the dealer
you fool

[strange elk]

But how often do you do that? How often do you NEED to do that

[fierce tinsel]

Every update tuesday :p

[grim belfry]

Nobody does it better than BMW

[manic torrent]

you also need to update your BMW Subscription Subscription In order to be able to update your "BMW Discussion Subscription"

[grim belfry]

unfortunately with the 3g network closing I will no longer be able to use the built in email client or web browser :(

[restive lion]

welcome light subscription holy shit

[grim belfry]

That's a one time fee, I did buy it :(

[restive lion]

still

[vapid smelt]

LMAO you need to pay for that

[strange elk]

Me when my car comes shipped with a gaming rig inside of it

[manic torrent]

Not particularly often, but my point is it happens and has been happening for a long time. You are saying "omg computers in cars bad", I'm pointing out that ship has sailed looooooooong ago.

[restive lion]

ford does that too but they have a several year long free trial or something

[fierce tinsel]

Toyota also has a several year trial for remote app access

Atleast in Canada

[grim belfry]

Time for my car DLC

[strange elk]

I dont mean the one thats been standard for ages though. I'm talking about having exclusively electronic interfacing which is updated constantly via WiFi vs something that GENERALLY stays stable for years and uses physical buttons and knobs

[restive lion]

tbh if i bought a new car once my warranty was up thered be a raspberry pi in that sucker in no time to do all this stuff for free

[grim belfry]

So does BMW, I believe i got 3? years. I never used it though

[fierce tinsel]

I use mine all the time.. Cold winter and hot days for making the car ready for me..

[manic torrent]

yes, but I'm saying that you're acting like that's a sudden change, but in fact the "physical buttons and knobs" have been electronic for many years

[strange elk]

I know that..

[fierce tinsel]

Used it this past week when it was 40c with the Humidex..

[grim belfry]

You can turn on the AC without a subscription :) (At least on my model)

[vapid smelt]

$26 a month vs $16-50 one time

[manic torrent]

Steering wheel controls... 20+ controls on it, there's not 20+ wires, because it is CAN

[fierce tinsel]

My Corolla I gotta remote start the car for climate.. (its a Hybrid not full electic)

[manic torrent]

Having physical buttons is important though - but they are interfaced via basically the same method as the touchscreen

[rare otter]

Is there a way to install an os with my phone onto my computer

[fierce tinsel]

And I think all the app features require the sub..

[restive lion]

oh thats been a thing for a long time, a plague upon people putting carplay into older cars

[full fossil]

waiting on degoogle your life part 2. When is that gunna come out?

[restive lion]

tesla has that hardware bypass of all subscriptions though

[grim belfry]

https://www.android-x86.org/

[fierce tinsel]

Donno.. google it? :p

[manic torrent]

do you mean because you don't have a USB key?

[rare otter]

I don't have a USB stick ar all

[vapid smelt]

google paid him off so we wont have a part two /s

[rare otter]

And I bought this used pc so

[manic torrent]

good news, they are cheap and easily available

[rare otter]

Well I'm flat broke

What doesn't help me

[full fossil]

flash ventoy onto your usb if you have a rooted phone with a usb connected.

[fierce tinsel]

You don't.. you need a computer and a thumbdrive.. your phone can't talk to a PC without the PC having an OS to begin with

[strange elk]

They dont have a usb to begin with

[rare otter]

I don't. cause you need a pc for that

[vapid smelt]

do you not have another pc or a friend or family member with one?

[rare otter]

Nope

Only one who does that I know is my dad but he doesn't want me to borrow it

[strange elk]

If you have a micro center nearby look for a deal for a free thumb drive

Else idk what to tell ya

[rare otter]

I don't

[vapid smelt]

flash drives cost less then 5 bucks

This is the problem - at 16 you can't understand what you've ruined. And because of this you may not ever understand.

[vapid smelt]

you do know that game devs can and have sued people making and selling cheats/hacks right?

[grim belfry]

Bob is 100% correct here

do you understand what ethics is?

and do you understand how this affects others perceptions of you

[grim belfry]

I think that ship has sailed

[vapid smelt]

as a reformed cheater it is truly a skill issue

[manic torrent]

I literally don't understand people who cheat at online games.

[pallid falcon]

Yeah cheating scum gots nothing else to do

[manic torrent]

yeah you're not sticking it to the man my dude. Nobody is impressed.

[grim belfry]

Doesn’t make it okay though, does it?

[chrome vector]

I got my friend's WoW account banned for using CheatEngine to run fast (When I was like, 12)

That is the day I learned even have cheating engine up in the background is enough to get your instabanned in some games

Again - if you were releasing these cheats free for shits and giggles, that's one thing, but you're not.

Yo I have had the worst childhood ever and I used my energy on productivity not being scum

[grim belfry]

Doesn’t make it okay.

[pallid falcon]

I literally used my time and developed my own software installer/manager from scratch then make things to put on it. Over the course of years

[manic torrent]

yes, that's how opinions work, and when we talk about social capital, it is all about other peoples opinions.

That was a poor comparison on my part, but it did demonstrate my point

[manic torrent]

that's ... not a bribe

bribing is paying someone in a position of power/trust to favour you.

[pallid falcon]

Because I often get discriminated against because I'm not white and im gay should I start developing cheats?

[manic torrent]

people who "need" "cheats" are broken

[grim belfry]

Yes, that is the only morally stable ground

[vapid smelt]

personally i would make a armored bulldozer

[grim belfry]

Really, that's your excuse?

[manic torrent]

lol, cheats is disability access? ok dude. That's a good one.

[pallid falcon]

Lame ass excuse homie

[manic torrent]

My son is disabled. He doesn't need cheats.

it's not safe to eat any raw meat, as a rule.

but sushi

[rigid pawn]

Actually it depends on your definition of “meat” we all know vegetarians have all kinds of definitions

Some include seafood others don’t, etc

one prime example is milk btw - some vegetarians claim that to be meat

[grim belfry]

Vegetarian vs pescatarian

[manic torrent]

No. Nobody says milk is meat. That's absolutely unhinged.

Meh. I remember someone saying it before. And no one has said all forms of vegetarianism has to be hinged lol

[rough temple]

vegetarians usually don't have a problemw ith milk
vegetarians just avoid meat products, so milk, egg and etc are still on the table
vegans are the ones that absolutely don't want any animal products

[manic torrent]

Anyone that says that milk is meat is factually wrong and idiotic by definition. It's absolutely stupid.

[grim belfry]

Except lots of vegans will use animal products like leather and honey

[rough temple]

lel

[grim belfry]

Why waste part of an animal when it's already been slaughtered?

[harsh quartz]

Is honey an animal product?

[rough temple]

it's from bees so yes

[grim belfry]

Yes

[harsh quartz]

I mean, sure, it just feels different than the rest

[manic torrent]

It absolutely is. It's just that it's arguably a symbiotic relationship

[harsh quartz]

Like your not murdering bees and getting their skin for honey :p

[rough temple]

you're not murdering cows to get milk either

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, that was my understanding, but I guess it is still a farm

[grim belfry]

The animals were already getting slaughtered, may as well use all of them

[harsh quartz]

No but there’s the whole thing about bad conditions and whatnot, I don’t know a lot cause I don’t care that much, was just surprised by the honey thing :p

[manic torrent]

stop killing ducks to make duck tape

[wispy marsh]

Cheese contains animal proteins

Cheddar is meat

[harsh quartz]

Stop melting horses to make glue

(I said this jokingly but idk if it’s true)

[wispy marsh]

Horse oil haircare is made from real horses iirc

It's like bootshiners' mink oil for boots

[manic torrent]

Stereotypically, the animal in question is a horse, and horses that are put down are often said to have been "sent to the glue factory". However, other animals are also used, including cattle,[3] rabbits and fish.[4]

[harsh quartz]

I’ve heard the phrase sent to the glue factory jokingly, is why I said it, didn’t know it had roots in real history, that’s kinda fucked, “hey, I bet if we melt this down it would stick things together real nice”

[wispy marsh]

How do you make glue from carcasses?

tldr boil down the connective tissue

[wispy marsh]

Oh

[harsh quartz]

Apparently, collagen

Which is likely the same reason for the hair care product

[manic torrent]

but animal glue is rarely used in modern context

[harsh quartz]

I had assumed it was always made the way it was today, and the old saying was just some sort of fucked metaphor like there’s a lot of. Nope.

[manic torrent]

lol, no you genuinely make glue from horses

[grim belfry]

lol

[vapid smelt]

horse glue smells and taste better then modern glues

[harsh quartz]

Anyways. Stop killing pigs to make piggybanks

Yo I just found out Tanukis are real and they’re adorable

[manic torrent]

stop killing discs to make discord

[thick scarab]

Is the display in the Strix Scar 16” worth it over the Legion Pro 7i or even the Strix Scar G18

[misty scarab]

does DDR3 taste better than DDR4?

[grim belfry]

Much

[manic torrent]

yes, mostly due to aging

[misty scarab]

I have a protobean and I must feed him

[harsh quartz]

Kryonaut tastes better than standard thermal paste

It’s made with real grizzly bears

[vapid smelt]

think of all the mothers they have to kill to make motherboards

[harsh quartz]

Kill? I thought they just had the mothers surf on em for a bit

Hello all, what's the best tool to use to update and fix missing drivers in Windows 10 laptop

[near nymph]

Google

And the manufacturer website

[manic torrent]

windows 11

[grim belfry]

dammit that's my line

[chrome fiber]

hi!! very new to tech but how else am i gonna learn ahahah

[safe ember]

Just dropped too much money on this thing

[pliant karma]

👀

[long briar]

either you weighed the pros and cons and decided the benefits is greater than the fixed cost of owning that laptop meaning it wasn't too much

or you didn't use your brain and impulse bought it on the spot, in which case it was too much

[knotty aspen]

o

[neon mesa]

Me in a tech mall

[polar rock]

i was wondering
does anyone else have a font they're semi-obsessed with

[safe ember]

I got it for 2969 AUD and it’s got an m3 pro, 18gb ram and 512 storage

Compared to the original one I was going to get for 2829 AUD which was a normal M3 with 16/512

I think I got a pretty good deal and this is my new editing machine

[vapid smelt]

ubuntu

[polar rock]

i didn't know ubuntu had its own font
and it looks really nice

[vapid smelt]

lmao rock salt

[polar rock]

you can read wingdings easier than that.

(given you can speak wingdings)

[full fossil]

thats hard to read lmfao

[vapid smelt]

who the fuck made this

[polar rock]

i can't write cursive but i have a higher chance of reading cursive than that. genuinely.

kind of want to learn cursive though

[vapid smelt]

we had to learn crusive in school

[polar rock]

problem is that nobody really can read cursive anymore..

[bright silo]

i forgot how to except my name

[polar rock]

i guess its not like you can't write in cursive just for yourself so its not useless

[vapid smelt]

https://fonts.google.com/?subset=latin we have too many

we should all type in libre barcode 39 extended

[long skiff]

Enjoy - I adore my M2 MacBook Air! Had it for nearly 2 years now and you’d still think it’s as new

[safe ember]

Cheers!

[plucky sentinel]

oooo we talking about fonts now eh?

i personally really like those old style fonts https://litter.catbox.moe/wcg8zf.png

i've gotten into them because of compasses I guess

[grim belfry]

Looking into a laptop from school, but also need it to do programming and VM's on the fly, because one of my classes is programming. I also needed a testbench for Linux. Any specific laptop brands to look into? All I'm seeing so far in my budget are "gaming" laptops but I don't want a gaming aimed laptop for schoolwork, and for professional stuff. Budget at most is ~A$1500 AUD, and can not get a MacBook, half of my software doesn't work.

[void ocean]

I use a lot of ram for compiling stuff, hint.

[grim belfry]

Lenovo P14/16s of whatever spec you can afford. Alternatively, a used T4xx with a new battery

If you sign up to the Lenovo newsletter you will get 10% off sticker price :)

[void ocean]

any laptops that dont use nvidia, or intel for graphics? nvidia is a shitshow, and intel... great, but not the best.

[grim belfry]

So you want an AMD discrete GPU or will integrated do?

[void ocean]

might look into a discrete...

[grim belfry]

At that budget, you’ll be getting max 16GB ram if you want a gpu

[void ocean]

"futureproof" but also i heard we might do some gamedesign, and rendering in a few months.

[minor sparrow]

just saw the ltt gr rolla video, feel less bad about my 500usd evo 7 payment

[void ocean]

i could probably upgrade the ram, as long as the board is able to do an amount.

[grim belfry]

Yes, you could upgrade the ram down the road

In which case the Lenovo P14s would not suit as it is soldered

It’ll be very tough to get a solid machine that meets your specifications at $1500, so I wish you luck 😊

[void ocean]

ah im in luck

end of finnancial year sales

[silk island]

you can format usb drives on ios now

[pearl gale]

woah

[swift cargo]

It's revolution Johnny

[strange elk]

No ext4

[grim belfry]

It's an apple product

[strange elk]

Just being contrarian ngl

[silk island]

ext4 only supports linux

[strange elk]

Its a unix like kernel

[silk island]

ext4 is still a linux only filesystem

because it hooks into linux syscalls

[grim belfry]

MacOS doesn't have native ext4 support

[strange elk]

I mean I guess I didnt really expect it. They dont support Flac either

[near nymph]

Hmm... Hot milfs in my area

These ads are interesting

[silk island]

yes they do

but they can’t support ext4 because it’s a linux only FS

[gentle slate]

lads suggestions on how to partition my 4TB nvme

got a 4TB nvme + a 1TB HDD

[civic mesa]

isn't partitioning largely unnecessary when it comes to SSDs?

moreso leftover technology from the slower hard disk days

[gentle slate]

I guess. I could use the HDD for keeping shit clutter free

but it aint even been a month and My Documents folder is already a hellhole

[civic mesa]

tell me about it

[gentle slate]

oh well, I guess I'll just use the HDD still.

[civic mesa]

my file system is a mess of shortcuts and unnecessarily long folder paths

[strange elk]

Not on iOS (at least Music) or ipods.

[grim belfry]

A Mac can't open a FLAC without extra software

:)

[manic torrent]

I mean it can. But if you want to play it you might need something 😉

[grim belfry]

[manic torrent]

Partitioning any storage device in 2024 is generally a stupid idea.

[gentle slate]

idk i just wanted to ditch the HDD

[grim belfry]

Back in the day when windows did it for you lmao

[civic mesa]

there's no reason to ditch your HDD, it's free bonus storage for video files and whatnot

[manic torrent]

Some people still create partitions for raid arrays, which is insanity

[gentle slate]

The HDD is sitting on top of my case since I had to cut out the HDD bays to fit my GPU.

[civic mesa]

ah

well in that case

[manic torrent]

This sounds like a skill issue.

[gentle slate]

is it possible to point apps and games to use a different folder for configs and save files

[manic torrent]

You don't need partitions to be able to use folders.

And no matter how many partitions you have ... You still only have one my documents

[gentle slate]

Id make a new one

[manic torrent]

..... You know when you save a file you can just choose where it goes.

[grim belfry]

[gentle slate]

If I am saving a file myself specifically, yes. A game never asks me where I want my save file to go though

[manic torrent]

... You can still do that without a new partition wtf

[grim belfry]

Folders exist for a reason

[manic torrent]

Yeah but they don't go to my documents, as a rule.

[gentle slate]

they fucking do

BYONDs data is also in Documents. Hades yeeted its stuff in Documents. I recall seeing Arma files in Documents

[gentle slate]

But typing out C:\Users\bob\Real Documents is much harder than D:\Documents 😭

[manic torrent]

What the fucking shit are you doing. My documents is a shortcut

[grim belfry]

lmao

[gentle slate]

nono but that shortcut is messy

[grim belfry]

huh?

[gentle slate]

I tried pinning a 2nd folder but some apps used their own save prompt

and they didn't list the 2nd folder.

[manic torrent]

...... How many programs do you use? Do you just download all sorts of random shit and use a different one each day? This sounds like a made up problem for insane people

[gentle slate]

I mean.. I play games.. And games decide to put stuff in the Documents folder.

It wont get deleted when I uninstall the game.

[grim belfry]

People are like that

[gentle slate]

Maybe you're meant to comb through your folders on a monthly basis

Though if you're still using something or playing a specific game, you can't really delete it from My Documents

[manic torrent]

..... What fucking games?

[gentle slate]

Here.

[manic torrent]

My first dumpster fire?

[grim belfry]

I want it

[manic torrent]

I have the same install from 2020, and I don't find problems with my documents

[gentle slate]

if I could remote into my PC I 'd show ya ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[manic torrent]

Therefore you're doing some really weird shit.

[gentle slate]

TIL playing games is doing weird shit

[manic torrent]

I play games all the time. They don't save to my documents. They save to %appdata%

[gentle slate]

Guess we play different games

Try playing Hades or Oxygen Not Included.

2 folders will manifest in Documents.

Dont move them folders otherwise you're starting a new game.

[manic torrent]

... Wow. Two whole games

My folders are filling up as we speak

[gentle slate]

Two examples that I have on hand immediately*

[manic torrent]

..... The vast vast majority of games save to %appdata%

[gentle slate]

Okay. And a decent chunk will save in Documents making the folder annoying to use

[manic torrent]

I am on the couch with no laptop immediately to hand, but that is hilarious garbage

[gentle slate]

If you say so

I provided multiple examples and got a blanket dismissal

[stuck cairn]

Hello
