[craggy rose]

just ping the person and tell staff what he's doing

yeah, that

[pallid falcon]

Give them a doobie?

[harsh quartz]

Can also use the discord report user feature

[muted summit]

ok does anyone have updates on the "New switch" Nintendo is relesing ive been doing reserch but cant really find a lot on it

[pallid falcon]

Nothing Past its existence

[harsh quartz]

It’ll be announced before next… march? April? Idk, sometime before next spring

[muted summit]

It's supposed to be out in the next buissness year

[muted summit]

Thanks tho

[pallid falcon]

Yea it seems anything switch related Nintendo has been releasing on their x.com profile (corporate, not NintendoUS)

[harsh quartz]

No, the announcement will be out this business year

[muted summit]

Ohhh ok ok thanks

[harsh quartz]

They said nothing about it being out this year

[muted summit]

I'm goofy

I'm so glad I found this server

[muted tusk]

can't wait for Switch 2 with what I assume is 2019 budget spec

[harsh quartz]

You think it’ll be that modern?

It’ll be hilarious if switch 2 comes out and it has the same chip

[vagrant fulcrum]

Windows 11 install killed itself this morning. Took as motivation to try linux. Any recommendations for a first time Ubuntu user?

[harsh quartz]

Go back to windows

[muted tusk]

hmm what if it was an aluminum body instead of plastic

and that was it

[harsh quartz]

It’s the same tegra chip but actually running at full clocks so it’s technically an improvement

[vagrant fulcrum]

I have so many problems with windows. Maybe its my fault but still.

[harsh quartz]

As someone who’s had 3 borked installs this week alone, no, it’s just windows

I swear windows wasn’t this unstable 6 months ago

[vagrant fulcrum]

Then why go back?

[harsh quartz]

Whatever they’re doing with AI has got be breaking this shit or something

[harsh quartz]

Easy

[vagrant fulcrum]

If rather tinker with getting apps to run than reinstall every week

As much as I love tinkering I still want my computer to run at the end of the day

[harsh quartz]

That’s why I use windows still

[vagrant fulcrum]

Ill let you know how bad compatibility is first hand then. But Im so tired of windows.

[cosmic copper]

my dad has had a linux install going for 20+ years, no reinstalling. just updates
granted, linux is not to the point where everyday people can do that yet. Still requires tinkering in the command line if things break.

[vagrant fulcrum]

Thats good to hear

[harsh quartz]

I’m tired of windows, but It is still an ugly mule

[cosmic copper]

ive been running linux as my main os since 2021, and I think i've found a distro im comfortable with: kubuntu.
I messed up and accidently uninstalled like most of the packages from the os the other day, and was able to fix it with 2 commands to reinstall the packages

[vagrant fulcrum]

The first thing Im trying is gaming

Because thats the only thing Im not sure will still work

[cosmic copper]

unless you play something with anticheat, proton has gaming pretty good for a majority of games people would play

[vagrant fulcrum]

Then my only other concern is davnici resolve, but that has a linux version anyway.

[cosmic copper]

yeah, it does. Thats the thing i was trying to install when i accidently deleted most packages on my system lol
probably had nothing to do with it tho

[pallid falcon]

I like KDE neon

[cosmic copper]

also, https://www.protondb.com/ is an amazing resource to see if a game will work or not

[acoustic pond]

have fun with it and get comfy with terminal

[vagrant fulcrum]

Thank you guys

[cosmic copper]

i was skeptical of KDE at first (with the little experience i have with the steam deck desktop mode), but after using it for a bit i like it. I was very sick of gnome before

[acoustic pond]

am I weird that I like gnome and KDE?

[pallid falcon]

KDE bae

[brittle salmon]

👋🏻

[vagrant fulcrum]

Whats a good linux rgb software?💀

[brittle salmon]

Guys I just entered, where can I get a tech tip ? (Single tip, no tips) 🗿

[cosmic copper]

google search reveals https://openrgb.org/
but i havent used it before. I dont have any rgb stuff

[acoustic pond]

here is a tip, Gnome isnt as bad compared to KDE

[brittle salmon]

That’s sounds like a tip, but is it a tech tip ?

[acoustic pond]

yes?

[cosmic copper]

i switched to kde a few months ago, and so far I prefer it over gnome

[brittle salmon]

👁️ I trust you

[vagrant fulcrum]

Cool thanks

[acoustic pond]

im not hating on KDE its great too, but some people give GNOME more hate then it needs it feels like

if you want to hate anything, hate ubuntu's old UNITY GUI, that was justified

[cosmic copper]

oh yeah gnome doesnt deserve hate, i just got kinda sick of it
i also had an issue with gnome where windows wouldnt run at the full refresh rate of the monitors, but i didnt really look into it much so maybe it was fixable

[brittle salmon]

No for real

I need to buy a power bank for my pc (why the fuck did I buy an HP) anc I am worried about voltage. Also how do I buy a new charger cable that is smaller because the one that I have is literally a box rope with a literal 20 cm brick.

Might sound stupid but I am not tech savvy as you cool kids here hahahaha (I am not even 24)

[harsh quartz]

How’d you accidentally do that?

[acoustic pond]

rm -rf *

[harsh quartz]

And that’s why I don’t fuck with Linux

[vagrant fulcrum]

Got ubuntu going!

[rigid pawn]

O_o

Yay? Lol

[cosmic copper]

no idea how it happened. I was installing some dependencies for resolve, I didnt look a the confirmation thing that was asking me to confirm removing hundreds of packages, and yeah

[harsh quartz]

Nice

I make too many silly little mistakes to do something like that

[viscid mason]

linus wife looking at the title of the new vid

[rigid pawn]

Man I need to get to caught up on the vids before I can’t anymore lol. Been over a week now

[viscid mason]

Lol

[rigid pawn]

Yay, my middle row is working again, all it took was a reboot.

[bold dragon]

are the ryzen 7 5800x and the rx 6750xt a good combo?

[mossy willow]

Is there going to be a stream today about those Qualcomm laptops?

[wary light]

What’s the best free pc benchmark software, I just built a pc (to sell) and want a benchmark of it

[graceful burrow]

3dmark

[wary light]

K, any other ones?

[frigid mica]

How mutch is the 6750xt going for

Damn 😂

Overpriced tbf

Should go for the 4090 instead

Great pricing no scam

No free shipping tho

I am I learned this in a science lesson on school

They say i9 14900k can kill if you touch it

It’s too powerful

Is the snapdragon X gaming stream happening today or am I misreading the YouTube blurb?

[fierce tinsel]

Definite maybe.

[odd heart]

we are just getting scammed / :

[graceful burrow]

Pikuniku

[whole quail]

when did ltt have a break i forgot

[odd heart]

pikuniku is a good game

[graceful burrow]

Been meaning to play it

Do you think it would play well on the steam deck

I've owned it for a very long time

[odd heart]

yes

it will

i played it through a long time ago.

on a switch

[random lion]

Just an idea, would it have to be a credit card as some of us are debit card only and have savings 🙂 I can’t enter as I’m in kiwiland but yeah.

[tender glade]

u excited for dt

?

[graceful burrow]

#tech-chat-2 message

[tender glade]

ty for the report :)

[odd heart]

does anyone know how late is linus usually?

[clever stream]

paypal works. i'll adjust the form.

[dense wraith]

I was thinking that it could have something to do with chargebacks which are easier on CCs but that doesn’t make much sense 😂

[random lion]

Sounds good 🙂 totally down if you guys ever come to this side.

[random lion]

Might just be the usual “oh use credit card as that’s what we do normally” I just use debit as I’m bad with credit cards hahaha 😂

[whole quail]

why eu and not europe

[odd heart]

because of places like russia

[whole quail]

just blacklist russia?

[odd heart]

lets guess why?

[stray apex]

there's probably shipping reasons or whatever

[whole quail]

as a briton i am very sad about this

[whole quail]

Aren't we spending our own money?

so what would need shipping

[stray apex]

well they're reimburising you

[whole quail]

If anything it'd be from our own countries shipping systems

🤷 i'll just cry in a corner

[stray apex]

idk how shipping works in the EU and to non-EU nations, but I'd assume that it's probably easier internally

[clever stream]

oh man i completely forgot that the uk isn't part of the eu anymore lmao

[whole quail]

it's the same 🤷

[grim belfry]

No it's not though

[clever stream]

ya i'll change that, the uk is fine. obviously ya not dealing with russia, sorry

[whole quail]

European union is more the civil side like dealing with asylum seekers and trading materials not public shipping

[grim belfry]

Don't wanna get deepcooled?

[random lion]

Your spending your own money to be reimbursed within 3 weeks

[manic torrent]

take a loan

[grim belfry]

No please don't

[whole quail]

don't take me seriously

i'd do it if i profited off it

well I guess it's a free 300 dollar item

potentially

[covert cradle]

Same. Maybe there will be a next time

[random lion]

This 38 year old is letting you know that taking out a loan for a $300 item won’t be free, you have to think about interest rates, establishment fee etc

[stray apex]

[dense tendon]

Hello there

[humble merlin]

linus dropped the snapdragon laptop?

[odd heart]

probably

[fierce tinsel]

Huh I guess the latest ltt video that was not live but announced is now removed.. Video Unavailable now..

[grim belfry]

Wow! Did not notice!

[fierce tinsel]

Oh I see I didn't scroll up to see it.. I have my discord in a small window :p

Though you'd think if they nuked the stream they would remove the link form #ltt-releases too :p

[manic torrent]

that would be automatically put there, and removal would be a manual action

[humble merlin]

TIL discord wont show you the name of channels you dont have access to, it just has a No Access link

[fierce tinsel]

True, but I figure whoever removed the video from the ltt youtube would have permission to nuke it from discord.. Its a minor gripe though, admittedly..

[sand quartz]

Was there a live scheduled on the LTT channel for like an hour ago? I remember seeing a thumbnail like that but i cant find it now

[sand quartz]

NVM got it

[rain scroll]

Ordered this from Amazon 2 hours ago and it just got delivered now. Absolutely insane…

[vapid smelt]

such a small drive

[sand quartz]

2 hour delivery? do you live next to the warehouse?

[rain scroll]

Maybe 25-30 minutes away

Traffic rn too so idk how that’s even possible. Drone?

[sand quartz]

i forget how muxh amazon has invested in thier deliviery service elsewhere, in my corner of ontario, they use a third party for that, it takes atleast 2 days for anything

[rain scroll]

Assuming the heat sink isn’t removable on this thing?

[eager notch]

Oh hello

[rain scroll]

Waiting for 540hz oled for my next monitor

Super excited to waste money on something I don’t need but want

[eager notch]

I'm replacing a 144 hz VA monitor

[rain scroll]

I have a 240hz tn I’ve had for about 4 years

[eager notch]

I expect to get nothing of value out of the 240 hz-ness of it, just that it's Oled and it looks pretty

[hearty ether]

How’s public chat today

[rain scroll]

I dont know if I want oled, cause I play competitive shooters I feel like it will be distracting

[hot tartan]

Why?

[graceful burrow]

Why would oled be distracting

[rain scroll]

It’s hard to explain, it being glossy I guess or it looking as good as it does may be distracting? I’m not sure lol

I feel like I’d have to try it, I’m just going off what I can picture in my head

I’ve only ever played on tn so

[eager notch]

Depends on the Oled that you get, Samsung's panels are glossy, LGs aren't

[hot tartan]

In that case I highly recommend getting OLED then

[rain scroll]

Yeah I know they make matte ones. I gotta just do some more research, I wanna get the 540hz when it comes out later this year

I’d assume asus will be the ones making it

[quartz maple]

back of the pickup truck is insane 😭

[spark ginkgo]

i use tn rn and im problably gonna upgrade to IPS

[rain scroll]

I typically in most games play at low/1080p to achieve high fps, so really I don’t know if it’s worth it, yeah the response time is the best compared to any other panel but does it really make that much of a difference when it’s like like .4ms

[eager notch]

Samsung and LG are the only companies that make the actual OLED panels

[rain scroll]

asus and benq aren’t?

[vapid smelt]

i use TN VA and ISP

[vapid smelt]

they buy them from lg and samy

[rain scroll]

I’m mistaken, they make the 540hz tn panels not oled

[spark ginkgo]

i have a tn 75hz 21 inch and ill problably use it a second monitor with my main being a 165hz ips 24 inch
im no gamer i just want a good screen

[rain scroll]

Wait. Now I’m just confusing myself even more

[spark ginkgo]

hopefully by 2027 1440p is the new 1080p

[rain scroll]

It’s definitely getting there, I’d say for most competitive games it will be 1080p for a long long time. Everything else tho 100% will be 1440p if not by then 4k

[spark ginkgo]

yeah i mean in the past the 1060 wasnt really considered for 1440 i think

and the 3060 ti is def an entry level 1440p card

[vapid smelt]

its like how asus msi etc buy the dies and such from Nvidia to sell 4090s

[rain scroll]

I was playing 1440p on my 2060 for years, but then again I played games like siege and csgo lol

[spark ginkgo]

how much of a gpu cost even is the die compared to everything else

[eager notch]

No, it's like with RAM, even though companies like Gskill and Corsair sell RAM, there are only a few companies like Micron and SK Hynix who make the actual flash memory packages that Gskill, Corsair etc assemble into ram that you can put in your computer

[rain scroll]

Yeah ik what u mean

Forgot it was the same with monitors

Kingston makes their own ram right

Which then hyperx sells and rebrands

I think

[heady flicker]

I didn't know kyocera made oled panels

I guess they dabble in a bit of everything

[grim belfry]

The also make solar panels :)

Mini samsung

[heady flicker]

I think sharp is a little more closer to a mini samsung

since they also make some household electronics

[grim belfry]

I mean yeah

[spark ginkgo]

organic?

is this led panel gluten free?

[heady flicker]

mhm

[grim belfry]

That's not what organic means in either context

[heady flicker]

gluten free and also vegan

[spark ginkgo]

this is some bullshit

its a fucking buzzword

[heady flicker]

someone didn't take organic chemistry

[pale kindle]

it's a chemistry term

[spark ginkgo]

im not a chemist

[pale kindle]

skill issue

[spark ginkgo]

im an engineer

It's almost finished. ✅

[prisma patio]

bruh

[strange elk]

Need to talk about the buffering problems on Firefox ngl

Shouldn't need to lower my quality to 480p lmfao

[blazing beacon]

its probably because firefox is a resource hog

[strange elk]

Do you really honestly believe its a performance issue

[grim belfry]

Yes

Just use Edge

[blazing beacon]

edge is pretty good

[strange elk]

Yes, because edge will give me a boost

[blazing beacon]

i cant speak AMD so i dont know

[blazing beacon]

idk firefox with my experience with it just wasn't that great tbh

[strange elk]

never really had issues until now, And only on youtube

[blazing beacon]

maybe its a video encoding problem

[fast halo]

do use adblock

[blazing beacon]

i dont know what encoder firefox uses

[fast halo]

ive heard of it lagging when an ad tries to play if u do

[blazing beacon]

makes sense google funds mozilla

[strange elk]

I mean I could move to waterfox but I dont think itll help ngl

[blazing beacon]

idk

firefox uses AV1 where as edge and chrome use the more well known HEVC codec

[blazing beacon]

as the person said above could be the ad blocker

[strange elk]

Ive used 1440p with no issue before but I guess thats it

[harsh quartz]

It’s so fucking bad now

Having every video buffer for at least 30 seconds before it loads in bad quality. And I pay for premium

[blazing beacon]

just turn off the adblocker for now ig

[blazing beacon]

oh idk then

[harsh quartz]

Mines not an adblocker. It’s JUST base Firefox

[blazing beacon]

something probably got broken

[harsh quartz]

HAHA no

They’ve been so blatant about it there’s literally no point in not saying it’s just YouTube

[blazing beacon]

yea but your not using an adblocker so that cant be it fully

[harsh quartz]

It’s literally just YouTube making anything non-chromium a bad experience

[strange elk]

Ok good so its not just that

Well.. bad. but like

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, it’s not a you thing

[blazing beacon]

i mean when firefox is less then 5% of the userbase u tend to get slow fixes i mean look at phone games android is like 40% and the games are often much worse on android over IOS

[strange elk]

Im more justified now :>

[harsh quartz]

It’s not a “fix”

[strange elk]

Also its a multibillion dollar company

[blazing beacon]

i doubt this was "on purpose" something probably got updated and got busted and now mozilla and youtube need to fix it youtube isnt going to put it on a huge rush if its only 5% of the users though

[harsh quartz]

Your acting like YouTube “oopsied” and aren’t actively making it a worse experience for everyone that uses adblocker. They changed chromium to make it harder, they’re starting server side ads, and they slowed down browsers they can’t control

[blazing beacon]

i never said they were not fighting ad blockers i dont blame them ad blockers loose them money i was saying the firefox part

[harsh quartz]

If there is a pattern. And this browser loading issue happens to fit that pattern, I’m going to assume it’s more than a coincidence and that it’s on purpose

[blazing beacon]

it will be fixed im sure give mozilla and youtube time

[strange elk]

Its been weeks

[blazing beacon]

they are fighting ad blockers not non chromium

[strange elk]

Also they still have adblockers in the chrome webstore which is owned by google so

[harsh quartz]

But they’ve been making efforts to make those useless

[strange elk]

Yeah ofc.

[blazing beacon]

why wouldnt they

[strange elk]

They are marketing it as the brand new thing though

This is the cool new standard chrome browsers are gonna use now and you're gonna like it

[harsh quartz]

Either way, the Firefox loading issue happened at a conspicuous time and fits the exact pattern of cracking down on advertising avoidance. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, but this isn’t geometry either

[blazing beacon]

it will probably not change that much

[strange elk]

Idk. They lost a customer for life though.

[blazing beacon]

are u though if u ad block everything are u really a customer

[strange elk]

When I was using their browser yes lmao

While I was the product

[grand imp]

hI guys

[harsh quartz]

As someone paying for premium, they’re gonna lose an actual customer if they don’t change the Firefox shit back

[blazing beacon]

just so u know mozilla im sure will become the same way if they stop getting that massive amount of money from google

[strange elk]

The reason I use adblocker is because it got so egregious that it became necessary for a usable experience

I only started once they did 3 ads back to back.

[blazing beacon]

as i said its more likely something went wrong in an update to firefox or youtube not something intentional bugs are a thing

[harsh quartz]

Not even just for YouTube, but Google as a whole

[strange elk]

That was weird did anyone's else screen just blank for a sec? It happened on mobile and desktop for me

[harsh quartz]

Fuckin AI overview + 4 sponsored links

[blazing beacon]

yes for me as well

[grand imp]

yeah same weird

[harsh quartz]

That usually happens when they nuke chat but I didn’t see anything go bye bye

[strange elk]

Yeah..

Discord moment.

[harsh quartz]

Wonder if a different chat got nuked

[blazing beacon]

idk what to tell ya ad rates went down and servers are expensive

[strange elk]

multibillion dollar, profits off user data.

[harsh quartz]

They could also increase ad rates

[blazing beacon]

user data is not worth as much as u think trust me

[blazing beacon]

not really ad rates are based on supply and demand

[strange elk]

Im not gonna trust you im gonna trust the data ive gathered over the years

[blazing beacon]

how much do u think your data is worth lol

[strange elk]

Not as much as other peoples Ill say that much.

[harsh quartz]

And the fact that literally every company does it. Even if it’s only slightly profitable per person, YouTube has a LOT of persons

[strange elk]

Facebook you dont even need an account for for them to track you

[blazing beacon]

yea? and bandwith and servers cost more as u expand

[harsh quartz]

They could definitely charge more and decrease quantity

[harsh quartz]

Wow, it’s almost as if infinite growth isn’t viable 🙂

[blazing beacon]

it isnt lol google isnt worrying about growth for youtube why do u think more ads and youtube premium are being pushed

[strange elk]

Theres a reason beyond covid we are recessing

Bottom line.

Investors.

[harsh quartz]

Shareholders caused Covid is what I got from this

[strange elk]

Growth for the sake of growth.

[blazing beacon]

yup im sure google is done letting youtube be a money pit so they probably expect it to now make money this is what happens to companies after the growth phase

[strange elk]

Just the fact they think they can replace human workers with AI, cutting "redundancies" in the prospect of growth

[harsh quartz]

They decide to alienate the content creators and when that backfires they alienate the content consumers?

[harsh quartz]

Aight but who didn’t see that coming?

[blazing beacon]

because they can simple as that

[strange elk]

And they still want more

[blazing beacon]

where are they going to go bandwith is expensive and the other sites will do the same stuff once they are out of the growth phase

u can self host but well thats where u get things like float plane isnt it

[harsh quartz]

Cool, so because infinite growth is hard, alienate the 2 sources of revenue you have 🙂

That makes a lot of sense

[blazing beacon]

its not about growth now its about making money
companies have steps

[strange elk]

Making money IS growth lmaoooo

What are you talking about

[harsh quartz]

For shareholders, the only growth they care about is monetary

GDP, growth domestic product

[strange elk]

Number go up activate neuron. YAY GOOGLE!

[blazing beacon]

no companies losslead youtube is a lossleader google wants to make it viable thats what happens when a company gets older and investors want money back

[harsh quartz]

Yep. Alienating your 2 revenue streams definitely makes you more profitable

[blazing beacon]

no when a company is young user growth matters most as the investor money runs dry and growth slows they switch to actually making money from those users
look at discord why do u think discord use to give all its features for free now it doesnt

[blazing beacon]

creators can whine all they want yet they never end up actually leaving

[strange elk]

What features lol, all it gave were emotes

[harsh quartz]

Only because when they do the content consumers bitch and moan, but if YouTube keeps playing this stupid game, the content consumers won’t care

[blazing beacon]

where are they going to go

[strange elk]

Hell if they dont change their ways :D

[harsh quartz]

Dropout, floatplane, twitch, nebula, curiosity stream, how many other successful streaming platforms have cropped up recently? It’s like when people got fed up with cable and then all the companies made their own streaming platforms

[blazing beacon]

your solution sounds like allow adblockers reduce ads and just keep loosing money thats not viable

[blazing beacon]

yet they still use youtube to grow just saying

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, cause YouTube is free

[strange elk]

Well.. There's a reason I buy blurays instead of use Netflix.

[blazing beacon]

also twitch is worse then youtube and isnt even a replacement its purely live streaming

[harsh quartz]

Thats because Netflix had gone to shit too

[harsh quartz]

And yet how many content creators have moved there? Even if it’s worse?

[blazing beacon]

youtube is free because advertisers pay for u adblock users break that

[blazing beacon]

twitch is also loosing money

[strange elk]

I wonder why, is it the abuse of the system? The misleading ads and scams? The 3 ads back to back 3 times a video?

[harsh quartz]

Adblock users will always be an issue. Increasing the amount of ads does fuck all but make the people who actually watch ads more upset, and they go and start using an adblocker

[blazing beacon]

twitch ads are worth far less then youtubes

[blazing beacon]

ive seen people expect youtube to only do banner ads

[harsh quartz]

No, it’s actually the content creators who don’t put mid roll ads in, and then YouTube automatically turns on mid rolls and takes the money from the creator since the creator clearly doesn’t need it

[blazing beacon]

people often think companies make money on stuff then they actually do

[blazing beacon]

bandwidth still costs regardless

[strange elk]

They have pixel, google fiber, google photos, google drive, google one, a whole google suite of tools

All that they can make money on. They even have a phone service.

[blazing beacon]

pixel is a lossleader fiber was a failure photos drive and one are all 1 in the same workspace is google one for companies google makes the vast majority of its money from ads

[strange elk]

Fiber is still going

[blazing beacon]

it was still a massive failure that costs google a massive amount of money fighting local governments as the local cable lobby hard

[strange elk]

But did they die

[harsh quartz]

Sounds like googles business models clearly never make any money and their definitely a small indie company with no funds

[strange elk]

Do they still make money off it?

[restive lion]

you sound like a cable company in the mid 2000nds

[blazing beacon]

big company or not its dumb to expect them to loss lead forever

[blazing beacon]

not profit

[harsh quartz]

Aww, did one megacorp lose to another megacorp? Oh no

[strange elk]

Oh GOD NO THE COMPETITION???

despair~1

Im shaking in my ivory tower suite

[harsh quartz]

Monopolistic practices? In my capitalist market? Never!

[blazing beacon]

part of the problem is people also expect everything for free while also no ads

[harsh quartz]

No, we don’t, we want it to be reasonable

[strange elk]

Thats not what I expect though

[blazing beacon]

whats reasonable?

[harsh quartz]

I don’t want 15 ads in 5 minutes

[strange elk]

I dont CARE about the ads, but fucking make them quality, and not 30% of the content I watch.

[blazing beacon]

before i had premium i never had nearly that amount so idk

[harsh quartz]

It’s gotten FAR worse in the past year

[restive lion]

youtube premium would be reasonable if the platform didnt get progressively worse UX over time

[blazing beacon]

probably the drop in ad rates why do u think twitch has so many

how is it worse?

[restive lion]

well the mobile app doesnt save my watch history for one

[strange elk]

Shorts fill half of every feed. I never asked for Shorts in the first place

[restive lion]

it used to!

not being able to banish shorts is extremely annoying

[harsh quartz]

Or like, if I download a podcast and then don’t listen to it for a while, the download “expires” and I can’t watch if, even though it’s still physically on my device

[blazing beacon]

never had that problem myself tbh shorts are annoying ignore them myself but im sure that will eventually change

[strange elk]

Dislike button removal was just a self image thing. because rewind 2018 failed so hard

[restive lion]

ive banished them on my desktop using ublock but holy shit are they annoying on mobile

[blazing beacon]

thats because of piracy im pretty sure

[harsh quartz]

IM PAYING FOR IT

[blazing beacon]

i agree thats pretty dumb i dont think it was over the rewind though

[strange elk]

It literally happened like months later

If that

[harsh quartz]

It absolutely fuckin was, YouTube got ratiod and couldn’t deal with it

[blazing beacon]

paying for permission to view it not own it big diffrence

[strange elk]

And thats why we use adblocker :>

[hardy vault]

you just have to open youutbe every now and then

[blazing beacon]

i doubt a large company sat down and did that over dislikes on a video there was 100% more at play

[hardy vault]

so youtube makes sure you still have ur membership

[harsh quartz]

I’m not trying to fuckin rip the video, it’s still in the YouTube app. Just let me fuckin watch it

[strange elk]

That mindset right there is why I have a bluray drive instead of buying my media online

[hardy vault]

its not about piracy

[blazing beacon]

people do though its trying to combat that

[hardy vault]

its about the subscription

[blazing beacon]

that too

[hardy vault]

which is "reasonable"

[full fossil]

imo adblock is pretty much needed to use the internet these days, you turn it off and its unusable

[harsh quartz]

My guy, if I wanna rip a video, I can go google right now and find 10 websites on the first page that let me rip a video. If I want to do that, IM NOT GONNA PAY FOR IT

[hardy vault]

yeah

[blazing beacon]

yea they have been fighting those too

[strange elk]

Good ole OBS

[harsh quartz]

Kek, that shit ain’t worked

[restive lion]

clearly its working...

[blazing beacon]

well what companies want and need is diffrent from users

[full fossil]

[strange elk]

People will get PISSED if they DRM protect with software like Netflix uses

[blazing beacon]

nope

[full fossil]

mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp

[blazing beacon]

yup

youtube should find a way to put sponsor block in for youtube premium though i feel like that would help with its value

[harsh quartz]

So, point being, they’re making it worse on paying customers than nonpaying customers. Same way that by increasing the amount of ads, they’re making it worse for people who do watch ads, not the people who use ad blockers

[restive lion]

i think youtube already knows DRM'ing their entire library would be very not-cost-effective given how effective DRM actually is

[blazing beacon]

why do u think they are trying to break adblockers

[hardy vault]

tbere is an extension for that

[blazing beacon]

yes but i dont have that for my tv or phone so

[harsh quartz]

Sponsorblock kinda rude, ngl

[restive lion]

i dont like sponsorblock yeah

[full fossil]

sponsorblock my beloved

[harsh quartz]

Most sponsorspots are like 2 double taps long, just skip it

[blazing beacon]

i dont buy from sponsors they always charge WAY to much for the service like guard io 15 bucks a month for that

[hardy vault]

i dont use sponsorblock

i watch rven though i dont buy

[harsh quartz]

You know you don’t have to buy from one just cause a YouTube talked about it right?

[wooden fable]

Am i allowed to post a youtube link here? I found a clip of taiwan news reacting to the LTT video with an interview of the guy who got the computer.

[blazing beacon]

also paying for premium 1 pays creators more per view and 2 says no ads and 3 sponsors can easily be skipped manually

[harsh quartz]

Although, I do think there needs to be a better indication of when a YouTube video is sponsored by a product they’re reviewing in the video

[blazing beacon]

i know but these companies who do it spend a TON of sponsoring so they have to hike prices to make up for it so i avoid them

i find youtube premium worth it for youtube music

[strange elk]

I dont need a raid sponser im good. I dont have money to give to anyone so there's no point in me seeing them as far as I'm concerned

[harsh quartz]

I just manually skip most the time but sometimes I do like know what products are in a certain space

[blazing beacon]

apparently someone is finding raid worth it though

[harsh quartz]

Like ridge wallets, I don’t have a ridge, but I do use a skinny wallet now

[blazing beacon]

i tried raid its a mid game im not much of a mobile gamer

unless its an anime waifu game

[blazing beacon]

i can go on amazon and get a wallet for a fraction of the price that is about the same

[wooden fable]

nevermind its on the reddit

[blazing beacon]

from my experience malwarebytes browser guard does better then guard io without uploading all your searchs to a cloud and is free unlike guard io

i mean guard io has a free tier but its really not that good

[strange elk]

I have a fake ridge wallet I've had for 5 years that cost me like $5 lmao

[grim belfry]

they seem too bulky

I don't carry a wallet most of the time nowadays anyway

[strange elk]

I mean I only carry cards, I dont think so but I also prefer to use a bag rather than my pockets.

[blazing beacon]

they can charge whatever they want ill just weigh the value in my head

im all for the free market choosing what somethings value is if its not worth it to me i just dont buy it

[strange elk]

I mean I'm doing the same

[blazing beacon]

nah ad block is still using it without paying not the same

the ads are why i dont touch twitch and i dont see value in buying it so i just dont use it

[strange elk]

I just respect myself more than the .1% (them to me and vice versa)

[blazing beacon]

youtube isnt free its free with ads so imo its the same as piracy ima just say it in my opinion

[grim belfry]

Why not ublock origin?

[blazing beacon]

i have that and malwarebytes

[grim belfry]

That sounds like a great way to break websites but you do you

[strange elk]

Linus said the same thing. I disagree, its more unshittification where I can

[blazing beacon]

u take server resources they ask ads as payment u dont pay its basically like stealing

[strange elk]

Oh no

[grim belfry]

Also... Making the content

[blazing beacon]

stealing is stealing i dont care if its from fred down the road or jeff bezos

[blazing beacon]

content creators are indeed paid for doing so

[strange elk]

Just be glad I'm not reposting other peoples content for money

[grim belfry]

Not when you're using adblock :)

[blazing beacon]

they host the servers and bring the users

[blazing beacon]

yea exactly why i said i share the view with linus

[grim belfry]

Youtube hosts the videos, but the creators bring the users

[strange elk]

Also the creators can choose not to get paid but still get ads hosted.

[blazing beacon]

youtube hosts it and suggests videos without the search or the recommended would u really have found all the people u watch

[blazing beacon]

the servers dont stop costing

[grim belfry]

sigh

[blazing beacon]

content creators videos are a fixed cost youtube is paying a variable cost

[blazing beacon]

u seem to think hosting content is easy if it was why wouldnt all youtubers just host there own websites instead after all they bring the viewers

[grim belfry]

Neither part is easy :)

[blazing beacon]

simple variable costs are no fun if linus [just an example] spends 500 bucks to make a video his fixed cost anything after that is profit for youtube a video made 10 years ago is still costing them money with every view

[grim belfry]

I never refuted that?

[blazing beacon]

linus would understand this as he runs floatplane but thats a purely paid platform so he doesnt need to battle ad blockers

thats probably why me and him share the same views on it we have insight into running servers

[grim belfry]

You thinking that watching youtube videos without ads only affects youtube is wrong

[blazing beacon]

it affects YouTubers sure as well but they can only loose the fixed cost youtube could realistically lose infinite money its just how these kinds of costs work out

[grim belfry]

lose :)

[blazing beacon]

again i pay for premium so creators do get paid

[grim belfry]

So when you're using adblock, you're not doing a disservice to creators, you're doing a disservice to Google

Is that what you're trying to say? Because that's how I'm understanding your opinion

[blazing beacon]

you're doing a disservice to both

[hot umbra]

you're*

[blazing beacon]

when a creator opts to take no money they are opting out of it youtube on the other hand still wants its cut so thats why they do it

going after grammar is a childish thing to do

[hot umbra]

im just meming lmaop

[grim belfry]

Grammarly is free :)

[hot umbra]

memeing?

[blazing beacon]

i have it

[hot umbra]

"Stones are usually found outside that you can scramble each other's letters in each round in an encounter, and then someone should give answers, dear to kill its genius."

Now they are trying to decyper it like its greek LMAO

[harsh quartz]

I used it when I was in college, writing papers and whatnot, aside from that it was incredibly annoying

[strange elk]

I didnt see the use of it

It was just annoying to me lmao

[spark ginkgo]

so my theory is wrong

[harsh quartz]

grammar check was nice

I’ve always been bad with grammar

[spark ginkgo]

the text was "something really funny i found out is that you can scramble the letters in each word in a sentence and the brain does not give a shit , reads it like its nothing"

turns out i was wrong

and the sample they used for that "claim" was altered to look plausible

fuck you Mr Rodgers

So, typically that goes “if the first and last letters are the same, the rest can be filled in”

[spark ginkgo]

The best thing about the boys is that it took some people 4 seasons to realise it was woke, despite being actively and explicitly so since before it started.

[grim belfry]

Is the boys turning all the kids gay?

Or does it just have a female protagonist

[manic torrent]

No it's all anti capitalist and anti fascist

[grim belfry]

Oh lmao

actually it made half my (male) friends homophobic

Good excuse to make them not your friends anymore 😉

[manic torrent]

It didn't make them anything

[iron lintel]

but they watched nothing but the boys once season 4 came out or smt and then all of a sudden they hated me cuz i was gay

heck two of them were in a gay relationship and now theyre not

Wtf

[manic torrent]

kids these days. no respect

[heady flicker]

is this a brand new laptop?

[thick scarab]

Yes

[heady flicker]

check if there are any anti-malware on your computer pre-installed. programs such as mcafee, norton, avg, etc.

if there are any, I usually like to do a fresh install of the system, but you can try uninstalling the anti-malware through control panel

they take up unnecessary load, and windows' built in anti-malware works just as well, since it's part of the operating system

additionally, check for any updates on your system, including additional updates

[thick scarab]

What about BIOS?

[heady flicker]

you can check the manufacturer's product page to see if there are any newer BIOS versions, but most of the time, if it's new, it's already up to date

next, you may want to prevent devices connected to your computer from automatically waking up your computer. If your computer accidentally wakes up while it's inside a backpack or in a small bag, it can cause the laptop to overheat and drain its battery

[ancient stone]

I'm so embarrassed to be American rn

That debate was yikes af

[heady flicker]

this is optional, but if you do want to disable devices from waking up your computer, you can check which devices have the ability to wake up your computer by running the command powercfg -devicequery wake_armed in PowerShell or Command Prompt

then proceed to disable each device using powercfg /devicedisablewake "[name of device]"
for example if there's a device named HID-compliant mouse, type powercfg /devicedisablewake "HID-compliant mouse"

it also doesn't hurt to run the program Microsoft Store, go to Library, and pressing Get updates every now and then

it's also not a bad idea to run the command sfc /scannow or DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth in Command Prompt or PowerShell after a windows update to check if there are any corrupt files

for the latter command, if it found any issues, run the command DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair the files

[manic torrent]

these don't ever fix anything, but it makes people feel good to do it, and lots of people feel clever and important for saying it

[heady flicker]

yeah, hamming codes work well enough

some additional software that I like to install are 7-Zip (which is no longer necessary with the latest windows 11 build iirc), VLC, and HWiNFO, and GeForce Experience if it's a nvidia gpu and Adrenalin Edition if it's an amd gpu

I guess I have some other random stuff like adobe acrobat, audacity, fusion360, davinci resolve, crystaldiskinfo, discord, explorerpatcher, gimp, geogebra, krita, librewolf, musescore, obs, steam, and zoom

I also disable Enhance pointer precision in additional mouse settings, which disables mouse acceleration

it should also be safe to disable all Startup apps in Task Manager, unless there's a program that you always have running when your computer is on

it can help startup times, and if there's any programs that takes up a good chunk of cpu load, it can improve performance

some BIOS allows you to increase the power limit of your CPU if your CPU is unlocked, which can also increase performance and power consumption

I've seen some people try using Universal x86 Tuning Utility to overclock their power-limited cpus/apus, but it's a little finnicky and I don't really recommend it

[grim belfry]

Lmao

[winged spire]

They started arguing about golf handicaps 😭😭😭

the age limit needs to be like 50 or something dude

80 is WAY TOO FUCKING OLD

Hey there! 🙂

[smoky badge]

[winged spire]

?

[covert cradle]

They do in fact fix corruption, but in 99.999% of cases corruption is a symptom of a problem and not the problem itself

[manic torrent]

I'm well aware of what they do, but those cases of corruption are tiny in themselves, so you are really just self pleasuring

[covert cradle]

No, I'm not really just self pleasuring when I recommend it as a first step. It's a basic step to ensure that troubleshooting can be done without having to worry about corruption. I get that a lot of people on the internet act like it's a panacea, but that's no reason to not use it.

[winged spire]

I gotta fix whatever is causing the snip tool to take like a solid 3 seconds to open up

But I’m lazy 💀

Realistically I probably need a fresh install

I’ve been a couple years too long since my last one

[lime bloom]

yoo

[junior tide]

guys quick question:
laptop fan, 4 wires, yellow-black-blue-red
which is sense and which is control how do i tell

too much information online and it says different stuff everywhere

[manic torrent]

Yellow 12V black gnd, blue sense, red pwm. Most likely. No warranty express or implied.

[junior tide]

ok to make it go brr, red needs to be out then

idk if it will max out or stop if i block pwm

since i cant control fan speed on this machine due to it being controlled by some unreadable goofy ahh embedded controller, i need a way to max them out

[rough nexus]

hi 🙂

[junior tide]

idk if it will throw errors or just work full speed if i disable pwm

only one way to find out ig

[manic torrent]

Stop

Well... Typically.

[junior tide]

now its getting interesting
so if i were to somehow figure out max speed pwm signal and replicate that

ill do it this weekend i need to re-do my liquid metal anyway

its been 2 solid years, its drying out i think
temps are almost back to regular paste territory

[full fossil]

Rough

[covert cradle]

A 100% duty cycle pwm signal is just a constant voltage. In the unlikely chance it's an inverted signal, then max speed is ground.

Found a noctua doc, it's 5V and not inverted. So just tie pwm to 5V

[fallen rover]

In which channel should I go if I want to ask a question about the LTT RatchetIng ScrewDriver and its technical details with long-term utilization?

Thank you

[jaunty compass]

Finally tried out the katwalk c2

I'm not using the official shoes so I need to make mine a bit more slick, but overall there's nothing else like it so far

[modest beacon]

growing up is when your school no longer allows pencil anymore 😔(except for drawing)

[strange elk]

??

[spare lintel]

steam with another W feature. you can now record your gameplay with steam overlay. and yes it works on steamdeck (linux). i hope wan show will talk/check it out 🙂
https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording

[wary light]

wait why does your school not allow pencils

[idle nymph]

Aye let's goo

Another steam W

[summer folio]

Harder to detect ai maybe

only computer text allowed maybe?

[wary light]

Wouldn’t it be better if you write it?

[summer folio]

(clueless)

[strange elk]

Looks cool. Opt in I hope

[wary light]

If that school is in the us it’s prob so you can’t stab someone

I have experience on getting stabbed by pencils

[summer folio]

Hope it detects if you ever type a slur, even in single-player game & valve automagicly bans your steam account permanently when so

[wary light]

Nuh uh

[strange elk]

Switching to beta. Thats an xbox feature ive missed lmao

Looks like good implementation

[strange elk]

Wayland and x11 or do you know? Im on x but just curious if you did

Opt in and obviously about as privacy respecting as it can be. Noice

[full fossil]

ultrakill skull pfp

[wary light]

What

Yeah that’s what it is

What you want?

[full fossil]

nothing just noticed

:D

[spare lintel]

steamdeck is wayland iirc

[strange elk]

Seems to work on x11 too tootdance

Seems its all locally handled anyway

[vapid zephyr]

It's both

Uses Wayland for fullscreen gaming, X11 for dekstop mode

[strange elk]

Oh huh

[vapid zephyr]

You can try changing the Plasma default and see, if you have it

[strange elk]

Im on Mint, I dont have a steamdeck

[silver sun]

180-i am gonna have to post today's number early cuz I am going traveling

[full fossil]

anyone know when that snapdragon laptop stream is actually going to happen

I saw plenty of ads mentioning this thought it was fakeasf, now I don't want to exist

[vapid zephyr]

Pretty sure they put that stream on a schedule, so you should just be able too tell by going on their channel

[fresh sorrel]

There’s a bunch of those if you go on LinkedIn lmao

[vapid zephyr]

Something like AI art doesn't even save time if you want to do it properly kek

[full fossil]

Iam starting to really hate this world

[graceful burrow]

not me setting my pc up rn to do that remotely lol

[fresh sorrel]

Well it’s more like setting up the prompt for like a customer service bot to reference iirc

[vapid zephyr]

You can get the basis of drawing down in the same time it takes you to learn every slide's function properly and do an actual art, shit takes a long time of fiddling

[vapid zephyr]

Damn

[graceful burrow]

yeah by that i just mean open the program i already have it set up kek

[tepid jasper]

yes, that's why ai art has 0 production value

arguably more effort for lesser results from people who generally have no art background and doesn't understand why whatever generated looks good

it's like, fucking cocomelon

a lot of visual glam with no substance

[vapid zephyr]

God I love the bar lady

97 years old and I only briefly explained her what schnitzel is and she only needed to hear it once to make it for me

[tepid jasper]

https://youtu.be/6Evi1xvH7Og?si=HEwTwN8xe_WnFLWX

^^

explains it the best

not to mention, your level of control to meet client demands are far lower with AI

clients LOVE to pixelfuck

notoriously so

[dapper prism]

Rewatching the Slowest PC (2024), is it that weird to have multiple HDD on your PC build?

Note: I also have three M.2 SSD, but als have 8TB of Barricuda HDD

[tepid jasper]

no

[vapid zephyr]

Nowadays it's uncommon, yeah

Weird no, definitely uncommon

[fresh sorrel]

Depends what you’re using the pc and multiple drives for tbh

Most people just gaming, probably not, but for any backup stuff maybe, esp if it’s redundant

[covert cradle]

If you store lots of Linux ISOs it's a lot cheaper to do that with HDDs as well

[brittle shoal]

Anyone know of any places to get external case mods?

[dapper prism]

College student, so its mostly backups of project files, and redundant backups from my phone. As well as stream VODs

[finite saddle]

Hey

i never realised trying to find the right monitor to purchase would give me a headache lol .

[graceful burrow]

Thingiverse lol

Nobody really makes "case mods" as goods
It's basically all custom

[brittle shoal]

Ohhh! How would I make the case like in my support thingy

[tawny gust]

mind blowing.

[tawny gust]

no thx

[graceful burrow]

Dunno and I'm not goin there

[brittle shoal]

Real 🗣

[graceful burrow]

If you want, just expect to have to learn a lot

Not even the full command

hey yall! im looking for a good chair on a budget and i've heard that gaming chairs are just not it so can anyone recommend a great ergonomic chair on a budget?

[nocturne wharf]

gente , estoy enseñando a generar mas de 50 mil por dia !

[pale kindle]

[graceful burrow]

Hermano, no solo estás en el servidor equivocado para eso, existen reglas para que este sea un servidor en inglés.

[nocturne wharf]

Recien acabo de crearme la cuenta

discupen si estoy ofendiendo algo

si alguno me quiere hablar y orientarme un poco , se los agradesco

[smoky swan]

if you wanna work at a computer shop and not be known as the guy that only knows how to work on windows

[finite saddle]

May i ask on any recommedations on a monitor? ideally 32" and would be for both PC/Xbox series x. im running 3080ti gpu

[smoky swan]

get linux

[frosty skiff]

4080s and AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 4.4 GHz 12-Core Processor good combo?

[graceful burrow]

I wouldn't get a 7900x3d if you're gaming

It loses to the 7800x3d and 7950x3d in gaming

[frosty skiff]

What would you say then, 7800x3d or 7950x3d?

[graceful burrow]

If you're just gaming the 7800x3d

[frosty skiff]

also its not just for gaming its for content creation and rendering ect aswell**

[graceful burrow]

Rendering such as...

Rendering means a lot of things

[hearty spear]

can't forget streaming!

everyone needs to stream!

[frosty skiff]

Unreal engine, blender ect

[graceful burrow]

You'd use the GPU encoder for streaming lol

[graceful burrow]

You mean the GPU tasks?
Whats a cpu gotta do with it

[frosty skiff]

no clue

im not the bestwith tech

[hearty spear]

sure, but everyone needs to add streaming to their "things I'm doing with my computer" list

[frosty skiff]

exactly, who knows what might happen in the future? :)

[hearty spear]

https://tenor.com/view/negative-hmm-never-mind-nathan-fillion-gif-5581485

[graceful burrow]

With thought processes like that you'd be dumb to not get a 14900ks, a 4090, and 96gb of ram

[frosty skiff]

of course, let me just take out a loan rq

[graceful burrow]

I know I'm just pointing out how flawed the logic is

[frosty skiff]

Sorry, don't really know what i'm doing and im guessing this is a hated term but I was it to be 'futureproofed'

[graceful burrow]

Lmao get warshipped

[smoky swan]

yeah and the setup he suggested is futureproof

[hearty spear]

it doesn't really work

[graceful burrow]

Nothing is future proof because we don't know what the future is lol

[smoky swan]

also nothing is futureproof to an extent

[full fossil]

i checked it was not there

[smoky swan]

just get a mid-high ranged setup

if im being honest get a liquidated 4070

and a 12700k

and 32gbs of ram cause thats all you need nowadays
