Welcome back

[sturdy dune]

thinking of designing a new adjustable desk for my closet

i have cabinets there now and i want to make something thats fairly manual

[small wedge]

Ryzen 7 5800X3D worth it for £210 but used?

Brand new sells for £280

[sturdy dune]

personally i wouldnt risk it, i have something weird against buying used processors

especially for 70$

[small wedge]

it's on eBay and they have a very good return policy if faulty

if anything they favour buyers 99% of the time

[sturdy dune]

fair enough

[small wedge]

I heard it's like one of the best CPU's on AM4 chipset for gaming

[sturdy dune]

that it is

although they keep making new am4 processors

[small wedge]

It's for my sisters PC currently got a ryzen 5 1600 and 1050 lmao looking at getting a 3080 along with the 5800X3D

[sturdy dune]

rn i have a 3080ti and 5800x3d

[small wedge]

I got a ryzen 9 5900x and 3080ti on my pc

I mean sure not getting firmware updates kinda sucks but why do you even need to update the firmware of a monitor?

[rough temple]

My 5m craft ahh solution for my dangling USB-c dock problem that caused many accidental disconnects.

• cardboard box cutout that matches the dock
• held up by plastic rope

[polar fern]

Did you hear the one about when firefighters couldn’t figure out which jurisdiction should be handling the fire? Yeah, it was a case of hose in different area codes.

[sturdy dune]

sounds fucked up

we need to allow more choice to departments regarding that, instead of litigating and causing people to be scared of suing

[heady flicker]

if it's in the US, they would be fine under qualified immunity

[hearty spear]

@rain scroll

u need help

[lucid lark]

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hi

Anything PCIE 4.0 will work fine

💕 💕 #linux message 💕 💕

🙏 😊

[graceful burrow]

That's the last channel people are gonna voluntarily go to lmao

[covert cradle]

it's a quarantine zone /s

[rigid pawn]

O_o

[blazing sage]

Hey

[vapid smelt]

Wasnt it you that got us that channel or was it the keyboards one

[graceful burrow]

Both lmao

Well keyboards wasn't me I just reminded Jake at the right time

[full fossil]

emm okii well

Doooooeeeeessss anyyyyone know of any good OCR programs on Linux? There is tesseract and a rust OCRS pkg, but are there any good tools that anyone secretly knows about and would like to share with the class?

Me when tc1 is used as tech support

[pallid falcon]

What's with the gross sudden increase in many using markdown links. It's annoying

[covert cradle]

Is it?

[restive lion]

markdown links good

[brave flare]

dd

[full fossil]

Can you put multiple mark down links in a message

[restive lion]

-# yes

[covert cradle]

yes, it's just [one](example.com) [two](example.com)

[pallid falcon]

If i can't see where link goes it goes unclicked

[covert cradle]

skill issue. The link is in the hover on desktop and on long press in mobile

[restive lion]

i mean those arent that much but theres also this...

[restive lion]

massive skill issue though i gotta agree

[rigid pawn]

Or just click anything

[solemn axle]

[rigid pawn]

You only live once right?

[solemn axle]

depends, i do 9

[covert cradle]

[rigid pawn]

Fair I guess

[restive lion]

i do love that discord A) has that as a url B) bypasses their security for their own domain

https://discord.com/gifts/Udzwm3hrQECQBnEEFFCEwdSq

[restive lion]

You're telling me

We've been fighting their api devs for years

No fuckin way mods deleted that

[solemn axle]

they don't want them to know

[restive lion]

Honestly the mods here make me not really enjoy talking here cuz they delete the stupidest shit

Anyways Jake (their head of infra) left yesterday

[covert cradle]

what?

[restive lion]

Wonder how long until the platform crashes

[solemn axle]

i be honest, false positives are better than false negatives

[restive lion]

Nah it's pretty bad compared to a lot of other places of similar size

[solemn axle]

i dunno, i'm being on like 2½ servers only

[rigid pawn]

Huh? Still on everywhere I look

[solemn axle]

notice they didn't delete the ricktoll

[restive lion]

???

Didn't say it wasn't?

[rigid pawn]

You said Jake left tho....?

[restive lion]

If you mean the platform I assume they have someone to replace him, but significantly less experienced

If you mean Jake himself it's not like they ban ex employees from the platform?

[covert cradle]

source?

[rigid pawn]

No

I'm trying to find an announcement of some sorts from Jake or LMG

[restive lion]

Wrong Jake wrong company

[covert cradle]

what??

[restive lion]

Discord jake

[rigid pawn]

Discord Jake is still on this Discord....?

[restive lion]

Dude there's more than one person in the world named jake

[rigid pawn]

Ok, so which jake do you mean?

[restive lion]

... discord jake

If you don't know who it is then don't worry about it lol

[graceful burrow]

Sure it wasn't just warship auto-deleting?

[strange elk]

Jake from state farm?

[restive lion]

He's an employee at discord

[rigid pawn]

O

[restive lion]

Or, was for the last ~10 years

[strange elk]

Uh oh

[rigid pawn]

Still not finding any sources

Anyone else?

[graceful burrow]

I don't think anyone else cares lol

[rigid pawn]

Fair. I just wanted to find an article for a summary

I think I found a name though. Jake Mainwaring?

[keen gorge]

Better then the Altoids tin I've been using

[rigid pawn]

def looks cool

[harsh quartz]

System shock, horizon forbidden west, or armored core 6?

[rigid pawn]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/gpu-crash oooooo

[graceful burrow]

Well def not forbidden west so

Which system shock

[harsh quartz]

Why not horizon? Also new system shock

Thought the first one was incredibly good

[graceful burrow]

There isn't a new system shock kek

[harsh quartz]

There’s 2, and the one from 1994 ain’t the new one of the two :p

[graceful burrow]

Forbidden west sucks unless you like aloy talking so fucking much she interrupts herself constantly "I should check out that cave" "I should search that chest" "I should gather these leaves"
Bitch shut the fuck up let me explore in the explore game

[pearl dawn]

Setting up my kid brother withh linux mint

[rigid pawn]

Good luck

[graceful burrow]

See that's where you're wrong
System shock 1 got a brand new ground up remake last year

Sequel? No
Different game? Yes

[harsh quartz]

That’s what I’m talking about

[solemn axle]

How do normal humans eat kiwis?
Like these 🥝

[strange elk]

Oooo

[harsh quartz]

There are literally 2 system shocks

[graceful burrow]

There are 3 :)

[strange elk]

4

[solemn axle]

Like, do you peel them first?

[harsh quartz]

No, there’s 2 system shocks and a system shock 2

[graceful burrow]

7 if you count thief 1-3

[strange elk]

Wait why not?

[graceful burrow]

They reuse so many animation and logic assets lol

[harsh quartz]

Either way, when I say the new one, you can just assume I mean the newest possible one ;p

[graceful burrow]

I literally explained.

[graceful burrow]

Nah play ss2

[strange elk]

Ah

[harsh quartz]

Old

[graceful burrow]

I beat ss1 remake

[harsh quartz]

Don’t want old

[strange elk]

Yeah. Imma mod it if I can. Waiting for GOG

[rigid pawn]

https://www.marthastewart.com/how-to-eat-a-kiwi-8653116

[graceful burrow]

Hfw?
I don't think it's coming to gog

Has Sony put any of their games on gog?

Am I out the loop

[strange elk]

Most actually

[solemn axle]

I was told it is weird to eat them with the skin, thx

[rigid pawn]

Np

[harsh quartz]

…their fuzzy, why would you eat them with the skin

[graceful burrow]

It is weird that's why I don't eat kiwi like that kek

My roommate does

[strange elk]

The skin is good, I like the sour

I dont eat it, just chew it

[harsh quartz]

It’s like eating felt

[graceful burrow]

Think about it like this
In anything you've eaten that has kiwi, did it have the kiwi skin

Not that I've ever seen

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but a banana split doesn’t have the skin either and I like those

[solemn axle]

Welp, this is crazier to read than the time I said I microwave icecream usually

[graceful burrow]

There are things I've wondered about you that are now confirmed, unfortunate

[rigid pawn]

Lol

[harsh quartz]

I wanna take that joke further but I’ll stop here :p

[strange elk]

Spider man 2 is gonna be on gog in like 2026 lmaoo

[rigid pawn]

Nooooo I want my entertainment for the day

I just got my popcorn

[graceful burrow]

Likely not appropriate for 13+

[rigid pawn]

Oh screw that

Lol

[strange elk]

Some people need to see this ngl

[rigid pawn]

Lol, it's called a joke man

But ok

[strange elk]

?

Unrelated to what's happening rn

[rigid pawn]

Ok then

[strange elk]

Moment

Wondering if I should swap out my init system

[rigid pawn]

Wat

[strange elk]

https://nosystemd.org/

[silk island]

huge wall wart (adapter)

[strange elk]

Would take up 4 slots if it could

[rigid pawn]

I see

[silk island]

weren’t you banned from r/apple 🤣

[rigid pawn]

No lol, I left

Would you like me to come back?

[silk island]

no

[grim belfry]

Oh god you poor thing lmao

[strange elk]

NOOOOOOO

Your boss sucks

[silk island]

@rigid pawn

[night badge]

hi peeps

[strange elk]

I'm just trying to modernize my environment. I have a newer kernel but about it. I know I'd benefit from Wayland but its not quite ready yet

[chrome vector]

Hello bro dude

[rigid pawn]

Oh, that your new macbook? Or no?

[silk island]

yes it’s mine

[rigid pawn]

Congratulations

How you like it?

[silk island]

it’s nice :)

[rigid pawn]

Glad to hear it

🙂

Should try updating to Sequoia :p

@silk island

[manic torrent]

Wayland isn't ready? I guess that's why it's used by steam deck and major distros

[strange elk]

Not for linux mint

Cinnamon DE doesn't support it

[silk island]

nah imma keep it on Sonoma.

[covert cradle]

ubuntu 24.10 is finally having nvidia users use wayland by default too

[strange elk]

Besides steamdeck uses x11 too does it not?

Or at least that's what I heard today

[rigid pawn]

If you're ready for some troubleshooting then sure. But if you want stability, I wouldn't recommend it

[rigid pawn]

Mmmmk. Well, hope you enjoy your new system then 🙂

[silk island]

app compatibility is spotty on Sequoia at the moment so

But i’ll see how the stability and compatibility is around Beta 4

[rigid pawn]

Oh is it? I thought it was just another update

Not like the transitions

[silk island]

nah app compatibility is always spotty on major new macOS beta versions

[rigid pawn]

I see. Enjoy then. Lemme know how it goes if you want then 🙂

[full fossil]

So what's the difference between public chat and a tech chat

They both seem to talk about tech 🤔🤔🤔

And they both are public

[rigid pawn]

Apparently tech chat is currently discussing freedom of speech

[strange elk]

I just feel bad for those in apples ecosystem. I know it doesn't matter and I know y'all are comfortable but it just seems unnecessarily difficult in the more important aspects to me

[full fossil]

Hey bro was making a stretch on that one.

[rigid pawn]

Meh, the key for me is to always keep a foot outside of the ecosystem so I can jump out if need be

[full fossil]

Bro called me homophobic for saying 90% of gen z is gay. Where TF is the homophobia

[strange elk]

I mean even then its hard to move away

[strange elk]

Why would you say that though lmao

[odd oracle]

yo

[full fossil]

You had to be there. Me and another person were talking about their friends queer discord server

[rigid pawn]

I'm not getting involved. Having no context and been in similar situations it's yeah

[rigid pawn]

Not when you have exact duplicates

Well, where it matters anyways

And serves as my backup too 😄

[strange elk]

Lmao

Since Windows went by the wayside and started partaking in neurodegenerative substances I have a hard time with proprietary shit

Tired of having obscure problems I can't fix and not having control over my stuff.

At least the obscure issues I have most have a stack exchange or a github issue I can get hints from

Rather than trying troubleshooters that do nothing

I loved iOS 10 particularly but I can't use it anymore. My iPod touch is basically dead at this point on iOS 12 even if it had support it was really slow and got hot after iOS 11

[rigid pawn]

shrugs honestly I'm more of the adapt kind of person, so maybe that's why I really just don't have that much of these obscure issues? I dunno

I'm on W11, A15 & iOS18, and so far the only annoying issue that has really bothered me is Chrome eating up like 75% of my battery, so was a quick disable.....

[harsh quartz]

had a fun windows boot error ive been dealing with this week, tried every possible troubleshootiing step before contacting the manufacturer, turns out it was a memory error on the physical server. why the FUCK cant windows tell me that instead of giving me a generic boot error

[rigid pawn]

Oh I actually enjoy troubleshooting to a point actually lol

[strange elk]

I dont hate it but when windows breaks and update loops multiple times before I can access my desktop..

[rigid pawn]

I would go Linux again but my laptop does not have enough diskspace for me to do dualboot again

[strange elk]

It doesn't inspire confidence.

[rigid pawn]

But I will eventually when I get a new laptop

[rigid pawn]

I see, in those rare cases I just up and do a complete wipe, which I usually feel my system is overdue for one anyways lol

[strange elk]

I have one ssd with windows on it by itself. For a small handful of programs and vr. I boot it for maybe 8 hours a week if that.

[strange elk]

Yeah I did, backed up my shit and installed mint

This was weeks before the ads were in preview builds

[safe oracle]

is it fine if my amd 5600x reaches a temperaturs of 87°C?

[rigid pawn]

Lol. My data was already inexternal drives

[strange elk]

Under load yes, idle no.

[safe oracle]

yes while gaming

whats like the max i can go

[strange elk]

90

[safe oracle]

because it can get very hot in my room

how do i get the temperature down

like to 80

[strange elk]

Beyond that its not great, but it'll be OK. It'll just downclock or worst case shutdown.

[strange elk]

Get a better cooler and AC lmao.

[rigid pawn]

See I guess I just have this brain that ignores ads, the ads MS has added has yet to bother me

[safe oracle]

acs use a lot of energy

[strange elk]

Its a paid operating system, you're getting ads on it, its actively degrading the user experience on a product that was paid for.

[rigid pawn]

Oh fun fact. My window AC broke today. I'm back to a tower fan 😦

[strange elk]

5600x runs hot anyway because of its monolithic chip design

[safe oracle]

i already did upgrade the cooler

[rigid pawn]

Meh, at the end of the day, MS does what MS wants. Like I said earlier. I just adapt and it works for me.

Do I like it? Not really. But meh.

[safe oracle]

it ran 95C very easily with its stock cooler

[strange elk]

Its just.. That's how they keep getting away with it though.

It only gets worse until people get mad.

[safe oracle]

during idle it used to be like 70-80

[strange elk]

Till that last straw is dropped onto the camel

Its like what happened with Apple. Why the EU is coming after them so hard

Why they are acting like the good guys for repair now but they aren't at all.

I get it, its just hard for me to see

[manic torrent]

Man the EU is so mean to trillion dollar companies!

[rigid pawn]

No, I see it perfectly. But I also see no reason for me to get mad, when the only people who can actually change things are the governments. And even then, it depends on if the people running them believe it will be good for their campaign and reelection. Me as a regular old person will only deteriorate and make myself more depressed. I am waiting for more drama to occur, that is what will start the chain.

[strange elk]

Oh no keep doing it, by all means. Please give the users more freedoms and choice, I'll always advocate for that

[strange elk]

Well that's the thing, I changed the OS with tweaks. When they took that freedom away I just got a new system to use.

And my fallback is windows 10

BUT obviously what you have works for you and that's fine

[rigid pawn]

You still use Windows, like what 8 hours a day you said? That's good enough for their stats. And frankly you already paid for the whole OS. That's done and done

They don't give a shit anymore

[strange elk]

I mean I never said I did, I couldn't support them as a child and I dont support them now

[rigid pawn]

That's your opinion and I respect it 🙂

[strange elk]

But I have much of Microsoft blocked on my network anyway

I dont need their services, they dont need my data

[rigid pawn]

I don't have anything blocked really

I have no sense of privacy lol

[strange elk]

I got a lot more adamant about it in the past year. Shits scary.

[rigid pawn]

I have accounts across Google Apple & Microsoft

[strange elk]

I do too, I'm struggling to move from gmail right now though. I dont use the others anymore YouTube I'm not concerned about right now I dont consider that a privacy issue

[rigid pawn]

I'll let HardwareBob talk to you about that one if he wants to

I don't feel like it

[strange elk]

That's fair

[manic torrent]

Eh, I don't really care that much

[strange elk]

I'm just chatting, I want to care for others but obviously that's not my place

Pro freedom is where its at anyway, even if the choice isn't "free"

[rigid pawn]

I just try to care where it won't turn into a cesspool

And even then sometimes it fails and becomes my entertainment for the day

[strange elk]

It happens too often here unfortunately lmao

[rigid pawn]

Honestly the only times it really happens here, at least under my notice, is just in chats in general. No specific platform or server

[grim belfry]

The cesspool is a feature, not a bug

Internet and cesspool go hand in hand

[strange elk]

I mean with how these updates are going lmao

[rigid pawn]

What updates?

[strange elk]

Discord

[strange elk]

All jokes aside yeah. When the bad influences get mixed with the good ones, everything becomes gray

[rigid pawn]

O

Yep, definitely

[stuck creek]

is a 4070 super okay with a Ryzen 7 5700x?

[manic torrent]

Yes

[median karma]

Hello!

[strange elk]

Very

[median karma]

I am watching LTT's Live Stream Podcast rn on YouTube btw

[strange elk]

You mean the wan show?

You and 11k others

[grim belfry]

Oh has the preshow finished

[strange elk]

Ye

They've been on for 42 mins now

[harsh quartz]

sadge

[grim belfry]

Oh lmao I very missed the preshow

[strange elk]

I usually just watch it later. YouTube chat isn't worth using to me.

[rigid pawn]

I always watch the whole show after the fact lol

[strange elk]

If I catch them when they start I'll sometimes hop in

[harsh quartz]

WAN show and MC time

[strange elk]

But rare

[rigid pawn]

Why would it ever be worth it?!

[strange elk]

Fuck if I know. It used to be ok

[rigid pawn]

I have never cared enough at all. It was only a few weeks ago I even started watching the VOD again at all

[grim belfry]

Internet and cesspool go hand in hand

[olive stream]

Anyone here good with making cool ideas?

[grim belfry]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[olive stream]

But no one responds if I just ask

[grim belfry]

Nobody would've responded to this either, make it easier for someone to answer if they have an idea

[fervent cedar]

hi all

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[rigid pawn]

Oh c'mon don't ping the dude again

Make him think we're all gone man

Hey Mitchell, welcome

[quaint mortar]

Hello

[rigid pawn]

Welcome Monkey

[olive stream]

I get more people to respond if I ask like that

[grim belfry]

Wouldn't you prefer quality over quantity?

[covert cradle]

Nope

[olive stream]

I do. I have experience

[covert cradle]

You get people saying you asked to ask. Is that really what you wanted?

[thick scarab]

How do undervolt and overclock a Legion Pro 7i?

[strange elk]

yeah ive seen that penguin enough

[last solstice]

I have so many cool ideas I make them in my sleep I make them when I wake up. I make them when I take a shower. I gotchu man tell me what cool idea you want me to make.

[median karma]

In the battlestations channel, can you also post your collection of consoles on your desk, like is that like a battlestation, especially if you use them a lot?

[graceful burrow]

Anything you'd consider a battlestation is one

Consoles are pieces of highly complex tech too

[median karma]

Alright

Hopefully nobody scolds me for a messy desk lamo : P
(If I do post a image of my "battlestation" lol.)

[grim belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/google-exists-google-search-it-geekboy-geekboy-cz-gif-25933207

[median karma]

what is the development channel for?
(I am new around here tbh.)

[graceful burrow]

Development of apps or tech things

[median karma]

not games right?
(Also tech things like new controller designs or somethin?)

[graceful burrow]

I mean if you're developing a game then yeah it fits there

[median karma]

ok

[grim belfry]

[golden talon]

what happened lol

[manic torrent]

Coding.

[smoky swan]

[near nymph]

Nothing was opened.

I landed in the night and I was running around searching for a ATM machine that took my card to withdraw RMB and HKD

[smoky swan]

[near nymph]

Well... China Visa office told me they only took cash.

And those mofos when I arrived told me they only take bank card

[smoky swan]

bruh

a local woulda crashed out on them

[near nymph]

Bruh I went to every hotel nearby Kowloon begging for a hotel room or to use the shower. Holy crap Hong Kong was fully booked. AMEX & Visa couldn't even help

[smoky swan]

have you went to macau in your trip?

[near nymph]

Naw. I got denied boarding to Shenzhen due to the Korean Air not believing Shenzhen is a Special Economic Zone with special visa rules.

[smoky swan]

bruh

[near nymph]

So I told them to send me to Hong Kong and I'll waddle my ass across the border

[smoky swan]

😭

[near nymph]

Delicious

Naw kidding... I smelled dimsum though

[smoky swan]

[near nymph]

Vancovuer

[smoky swan]

[near nymph]

[smoky swan]

[near nymph]

Yes the hotel prices were thru the roof

[smoky swan]

no like

groceries and basic needs

[near nymph]

Hong Kong is more fucked

Housing is more fucked

[smoky swan]

yeah thats true

[near nymph]

Basic needs aren't bad. Cuz China

Groceries... I didnt go grocery shopping

Hotel rooms where fully booked so I ended up taking out a stack of USD, CAD and HKD.

And offered the lobby guy money to not kick me out and let me use the sink to take a towel bath

At the W hotel

[smoky swan]

did they let you?

[near nymph]

Yeah. He didn't even take my money because he felt bad

I didn't expect to be in Hong Kong. So I didn't even have a phone charger that can be plugged into the UK style outlets

That was a fucked experience

[smoky swan]

brooo 😭

i dont get why people dont get universal plugs incase of things like this

[near nymph]

Well I expected to be in China... And some US plugs work fine there

Now I got this fancy universal travel adapter that has USB-C built in

[smoky swan]

thats good

[near nymph]

Yeah. Anyways. Hong Kong is wayy too dense for my liking.

And wayy too expensive

[smoky swan]

when did you go?

[near nymph]

I waddled around the train station

Explored the city at night 🤣

[smoky swan]

ah

streets are packed in hk 24/7 unlike vancouver

[near nymph]

Yeah. 😂

Honestly. I wouldn't stay in Hong Kong. Too expensive and only good for money laundering

[spark ginkgo]

montreal is simply superior

except everyone smokes here for some reason

[smoky swan]

ouch

[near nymph]

I would love to live in Shenzhen. Minus the great firewall

i wanted to fold but electricity prices said nope

[winged spire]

how much you paying lol

[grim belfry]

about .19USD/kWh here

[smoky badge]

The cat has claimed the computer.

[barren apex]

uhhh rates are about .40-.50

unless its peak demand then it's like $2

[winged spire]

WUT

do you live on the moon ?

I pay .11 at peak demand

[gleaming compass]

Anyone have advise on fixing a dead pixel on a monitor?

[barren apex]

for small business customers it went as high as $2.61/kwh on reduce your use days

in socal

[gilded quest]

Idk what plan I'm on

Off peak is nice

Mid peek is meh

On peak is whack

[barren apex]

its a detailed thing since there's all kinds of time of use that factors into it (so the .14 is unobtainable basically)

[gilded quest]

Ohhh

Wait, time of day has lowest pricing on weekends

Interesting

For my utility*

[barren apex]

if you're bored you can look at all 277 pages of this stupid pdf that explains the different plans based on the kW/month limits) https://www.sdge.com/sites/default/files/regulatory/Summary Table for Small Comm 3-1-24_1.pdf

Is it a problem if you recently spent most of your time on doing and thinking about tech?

[graceful burrow]

Is it a problem to become interested in a topic?

[heady flicker]

might as well turn it into your career while you're at it

[eager notch]

Fuck that's expensive

[grim belfry]

That's cheap compared to other highly developed countries

[pliant karma]

you think that is expensive lol. That's the 4-9 one, 5-8 is a bit more.

[grim belfry]

3c per day 😭

[pliant karma]

do I know which one my dad is on no but I know they have jacked up the prices

significanly as of beginning this year.

[grim belfry]

$2/ day into the abyss

Okay now we’re shitposting

[pliant leaf]

Best FPS of the 2010s

[chilly nova]

lol no

[pliant leaf]

Lol yes nothing holds a candle to just how fun titanfall 2 is

[chilly nova]

a potato can be fun to some people too

[turbid oriole]

You're saying that like Titanfall 2 isn't a great game

[chilly nova]

yeah

[turbid oriole]

You're pretty much the only one with that opinion at this point

[chilly nova]

lol

fortnite would have that rating but again, garbage.

the kiddies love it

[turbid oriole]

Are you seriously comparing Titanfall 2 to Fortntie? XDD

[chilly nova]

no, just ratings mean nothing

[spark rock]

Hi , what do people think is going to happen to windows 11 because most people are still on windows 10 and it doesn't really look like people are going to go out and buy a new desktop or laptop with tpm and secure boot just to use a new operating system that has bugs and is always feeding off personal data

[turbid oriole]

Yeah but me playing it right now and liking it means it's a good game in my opinion

[heady flicker]

most new computers come with windows 11

[turbid oriole]

Nothing's happening to W10. they just won't get updates anymore, except maybe some very important security ones

[heady flicker]

just like how people still use windows 7, more people, not all, will just slowly switch over to windows 11 eventually, and then to 12

[chilly nova]

thats fine. in my opinion it's garbage

[spark rock]

But people aren't going to go out and buy new computers to use it andy personal opinion people might just not upgrade at all and more people are switching back over from 11 to 10

[turbid oriole]

Using that outdated of an OS has to have some disadvantages though

[turbid oriole]

What games do you like then?

[heady flicker]

most people don't bother with switching operating systems. Lots of people just stick to what they get when they first buy their computer/laptop

windows 11 isn't as buggy as it used to be

[chilly nova]

who cares. the requirement is set. if people dont want to meet that requirement sucks to be them

w11 is fine for the last few months

[manic torrent]

Are they?

[manic torrent]

Which bugs. What personal data.

[chilly nova]

hangman. minesweeper

[barren apex]

I found a mosquito hawk in mine once does that count

[grim belfry]

Feeding off personal data, just as much as Windows 10...

[manic torrent]

Omfg there was a cockroach near my mouse the other day, I put my hand on it. It did not feel good.

[grim belfry]

eeewwwwww

[heady flicker]

yeah cockroaches are disgusting

[barren apex]

dont squish them

[turbid oriole]

I feel left out lmao, I've never seen one IRL before

[heady flicker]

centipedes aren't that bad though

[chilly nova]

lol if you care about what personal data is getting sucked off you stop using the internet and switch to linux

[manic torrent]

Woooow. That's crazy

[barren apex]

use this instead https://www.amazon.com/HARRIS-Diatomaceous-Crawling-Insect-Included/dp/B082LRSCV8

[turbid oriole]

The only major disadvantage of anything OTHER THAN Windows is no VR basically

Yeah sure but you can break any OS

[barren apex]

there's a bunch of linux distros to choose from and don't type that command

[turbid oriole]

Yeah but you can't really play games on the Apple Vision Pro, like you would with a Rift or Valve Index

[chilly nova]

ever stop and wonder why microsoft basically give away their operating system now? its because all the valuable data they get from you. google do the same thing with gmail, android etc many companies are doing it

[barren apex]

microsoft isn't giving away their OS

[chilly nova]

yea but google get data from you

[turbid oriole]

Honestly, calling it giving it away your data is borderline misleading. Everyone is just a number to them. One in five, one out of 330 million. It's meaningless

[chilly nova]

thats not what an average user does

[grim belfry]

No? It's because it isn't worth trying to have those maybe 5% of people who haven't purchased a license to get a proper Windows license which has a lifetime value of ~$100

[heady flicker]

5% is really high

[grim belfry]

Yeah ik

[chilly nova]

yeah average android tracks your movements. what shops you visit. times of the week you do certain things

[grim belfry]

I was being overzealous because people ike this think 30% of people are pirating Windows

[manic torrent]

This is complete garbage. You are an idiot.

[chilly nova]

really?

[grim belfry]

Microsoft makes money through volume licensing, Azure, MS365 (and device sales I guess)

[heady flicker]

you can still customise it. it just requires a little more fiddling

usually through registry editing or some other method

[manic torrent]

You are right in that Microsoft don't particularly care, but it's because they make money from businesses and OEMs.

[spark rock]

Well I had a bug with my network card would not respond after a reboot and also sometimes my start menu was glitchy when I clicked on the start menu after a reboot sometimes it would hang , also I don't like the way windows 11 is layed out but I have been trying to customise it but with 24h2 coming out shortly you won't be able to change the way windows 11 looks and feels

[manic torrent]

..... Wow. A sample size of one. Such an in depth review.

[chilly nova]

what do they do with the data they take from you? why do they need that if it isnt motivated by money?

[manic torrent]

You don't even know what data they "take".

[chilly nova]

telemetry for instance

[grim belfry]

User error, and you just don't like it?

[grim belfry]

Use linux and don't go on the internet, or outside. Problem solved :)

[chilly nova]

umm thanks for repeating what i just said earlier

[grim belfry]

That includes Discord, FYI.

[manic torrent]

Soo, usage data about the product? Wow. Such monetisation

[chilly nova]

it doesnt bother me but people whinge about it

[grim belfry]

I'd hazard a guess that Discord is collecting a lot more data about you than Windows

[manic torrent]

By a factor of a bazillion

[heady flicker]

discord is a gold mine for data

[chilly nova]

i dont care. someone else was complaining about it

[spark rock]

I am tech boff I have been fixing computers since I was 12 and the way windows is these days just doesn't seem like it is a desktop operating system these days

[grim belfry]

You clearly do care

[pliant leaf]

Only LLM you could make out of discord convo would be an artificial chris hansen

[grim belfry]

buff*
Windows is most certainly a desktop operating system. Have you tried using a Windows tablet? Still horrible.

[manic torrent]

And I am an infrastructure manager for a cyber security company, and have over 25 years experience....

[grim belfry]

You've just been brainwashed by Microsoft! /s

[turbid oriole]

Nah, they don't have as much info on you as Microsoft collectively for sure

[manic torrent]

I use Linux as a daily driver on my work laptop.

[spark rock]

What I am meaning by this is the start menu not being left aligned I know you can go and change that in the settings and I bet in 24h2 they will stop you from doing that and all this store crap which is basically what apple did with macs

[safe ember]

PSA: iCloud backup is NOT a backup when it comes to updating to beta software 😂

Just found out I gotta fully restore my phone to downgrade back to iOS 17 lool

[manic torrent]

You know there's projects that reskin 11 to 10.

[spark rock]

I hate Linux to complicated for me

[grim belfry]

No? 24h2 is already out for Insiders

[grim belfry]

too*

[grim belfry]

It tells you that before you upgrade :)

[barren apex]

you can't use a laptop to drive even if it's powered by penguins, bob.

[manic torrent]

This is because you are at the start of the dunning Kruger graph

[safe ember]

No I know but I didn’t realise iCloud Backup didn’t count hahaha. Putting off downgrading but I kind of have to because this is a huge issue

[storm python]

can anyone help me with undervolting a laptop cpu?

[spark rock]

I have learning difficulties but i can't get my head around Linux

[grim belfry]

It does say in the instruction to make a local backup, it even shows you how :)

[spark rock]

I have a laptop with a core i5, 16 gigs of memory too 1tb ssd's in my laptop one boot one storage

[grim belfry]

Okay cool?

[safe ember]

Yea fair, I would’ve done a local backup but I didn’t have enough space on my big PC or my laptop and I got lazy and decided “yeah iCloud backup will be fine and if I decide it’s shit it’ll be within 24 hours” but boy was I wrong 😂

I wish there was an option to PAUSE iCloud backups and not just turn off and delete all. Bonus points if it was on by default for beta installs

Either way my fault, I knew what I was getting into with a dev beta so not complaining 🤷

[grim belfry]

There may still be an iCloud backup from 16.x, you'll just lose any new data

[spark rock]

I would of loved to have a desktop but I have no room

[safe ember]

That’s fine I store everything on iCloud, I just care about like settings, app logins like Google authenticator and Home Screen layouts staying the same (which I don’t touch anyway so calm)

[manic torrent]

Your information about people using windows 10 instead of 11 is not accurate - the vast vast majority of users never install an OS, ever.

[grim belfry]

Okay?

Why does this matter at all?

[safe ember]

Linux can run on a toaster g your specs have nothing to do with it

[spark rock]

You have to have an OS or your hardware won't work

[chilly nova]

lol

[heady flicker]

not everyone builds their own computer

[manic torrent]

Yes but the users do not install it.

[grim belfry]

Very, very, very few

[storm python]

can anyone help me with my problem i have searched over the google as well on youtube but still facing some problems

[grim belfry]

#overclocking or #1027757333117415424

[safe ember]

Market share of desktop os iirc is 10 fast approaching 11 and then macOS and then everything else

[storm python]

okay thanks

[spark rock]

Well that's true if you have a laptop but if you have a custom built desktop then the customer will have to install the operating system

[barren apex]

I feel like it's much more common now since there's so many websites with guides and videos that aren't the verge

[safe ember]

Even then when you order a custom built desktop from a system builder they’ll usually install the OS for you. If you build it yourself, obviously you install the OS yourself. And most people will settle on windows yes

[chilly nova]

the average user just wants to use the computer. they really arent interested in the OS

[grim belfry]

A very small group increasing in size by 300% is still barely anyone though

[safe ember]

^^^

[manic torrent]

No. The customer rarely does.

[safe ember]

This poor Kami guy is getting smoked 😂

[heady flicker]

was already burnt at the start

[barren apex]

True, but a lot of my friends have built their own or were considering doing so in the near future, it's literally like legos + troubleshooting. I think it's a good thing for people to build even a budget htpc or something for some knowledge of how everything works together

[heady flicker]

but it's all good if it becomes a learning experience

[grim belfry]

You surround yourself with people with similar interests, and you influence each other, sure the amount of people building computers is increasing, but overall it's still a tiny amount of people

[spark rock]

Well I don't care I had an uncle who worked with computers ,fixed them and had his own computer shop he was very knowledgeable about computers, and he taught me everything I know
But unfortunately he died of dementia and he always told me that when building a computer always asks the customer what they want don't assume everything

[grim belfry]

Boutique system building is a dying trade unfortunately

[chilly nova]

well......yeah

[manic torrent]

You have observation bias, which is fine, but there's a big old world out there.

[spark rock]

I still know loads of people that builds computers I have pre built systems from hp ,dell and so on because you can hardly upgrade them without buying proprietary hardware from hp or dell

[grim belfry]

Personal computer (PC) vendor shipment share worldwide from 2006 to 2023

[heady flicker]

I wouldn't combine two unrelated ideas into one sentence

[safe ember]

This ain’t true if it’s a tower pc they all use standardised parts

[grim belfry]

Yesn't

[safe ember]

You could transplant in a new gpu or motherboard

As long as it fits pretty mich

[manic torrent]

You wouldn't steal a car

[grim belfry]

Most prebuilds use a mix of industry standard parts and proprietary parts

[safe ember]

Yea but you can replace it with anything really all computers use the same components since pretty much the 2000s

[heady flicker]

some manufacturers like to install interesting BIOS firmware that rejects certain other hardware

[safe ember]

As long as it’s compatible etc

[safe ember]

Really goddamn didn’t know rhst

that’s cooked hahaha

[grim belfry]

Can't use a standard ATX power supply in most Dell, HP or Lenovo desktops :)

[heady flicker]

dell tends to be a bit more friendly in that aspect, though

[grim belfry]

Good luck buying a 12v OptiPlex power supply that isn't from Dell

[heady flicker]

other than that

[grim belfry]

Also if you want a third party motherboard you'll have no front I/O in most prebuilds

[manic torrent]

That is amazingly uncommon

[grim belfry]

Lots of server and workstation cpus are also vendor locked

[manic torrent]

Yeah, but as a rule it doesn't matter

[grim belfry]

Oh yeah absolutely

[barren apex]

Either way, I'd suggest anyone that is considering buying a prebuilt (even a 'customizable' one like cyberpower) should compare pricing by making a list on https://pcpartpicker.com/ and lots of people in this server would help with building advice if you need it. If you get parts at deal prices you'll save money and have better performance. The asus prebuilts were garbage because of a 92mm heatsink/exhaust fan, the alienwares aren't even decent anymore, etc

[grim belfry]

it's only some epycs and some fujitsu xeons??

[barren apex]

I still need a SP3 mobo for my epyc 😦

[grim belfry]

That's not a vendor lock though

case manufacturers need to catch up with oem overengineering

what about jam

jummy

[grim belfry]

Peanut butter?

[exotic ocean]

nah but serieusly I told a few friends this idea of mine and that I might wanna do it in the future and they already started drafting schematics which I have no idea what they are and shit

[silk island]

honestly i don’t know if you can use breadboards to create a cpu.

in all seriousness

[exotic ocean]

people serieusly have done it, but we'llwill not make it out of breadboards 100%, we'll also use quite a few arduino's

[exotic ocean]

ik zie een Hollander lol, ( I see a fellow dutch person )

[small wedge]

How much is reasonable to pay for a 3080? Is £350 overpriced?

[exotic ocean]

lemme look

in the Netherlands its about 400 euro's and that is about 350 pounds which is quite overpriced but there isn't much of an alternative here

[small wedge]

So you'd say just pay it

4070 is far too expensive and I heard not worth buying 3060ti

[exotic ocean]

I would look at amd alternatives and compare them to those of Nvidia's, unless you're specificly shopping for Nvidia cards

[small wedge]

Always gone for Nvidia

It's for my sister's pc, ordered a 5800x3d yesterday

My main pc got 5900x and 3080ti ftw3 ultra

Yum

[small wedge]

This twat didn't accept 340 for it either

There's this as well

Overpriced?

[tidal minnow]

Theres buy it now offers of 6800xta for £380 in case you needed some more oopurtunities for offering

[small wedge]

If I'm gonna get that for £380 may as well get the 3080 no?

[grim canopy]

Hello everyone I am new here just someone told me to come here he said you are all helpful

[modern pier]

WTF

[craggy rose]

memory leak indeed

lol

[craggy rose]

if you have patience, yeah, people around here can be very helpful

but its more like a community of nerds, who like to talk about pcs and stuff, not everyone wants to spend a couple hours diagnosing problems on someone else's pcs

[polar valley]

Yup

[barren apex]

If you have a list of issues the tech support channel is a good place to make a comprehensive post, if you have a few specific questions the tech chats are fine to ask in

[polar valley]

And the ltt forum might even be better

[small wedge]

It's on £380 buy it now or make an offer, how much is reasonable to pay for one of these

There's 3080's for the same price as well

[long belfry]

The ram in my pc randomly turns off, do you guys think it’s cause I haven’t cleaned it in about 18-19 months?

[full fossil]

you have to clean your RAM sticks??

I doubt it's the ram that keeps shutting off

[latent arrow]

well they want £380 so even without knowing the exact prices right now the lowest they will probably accept is about £350

you offered £320 while they want £20 off £400 for it (£380) they ain't gonna drop £60 off the price

lowest your gonna be able to offer them is most likely £350 or they will just reject it again

[latent arrow]

no/yes (theres instances where dust,fluf etc build up and that could mess it up, static charge etc but sooooo unlikely)
Probably just failed RAM unless he's gaming in the middle of Afghanistan desert or hasn't cleaned it in years and years but about a year is nothing in a normal home)

[full fossil]

that' about a year and a half

and I've never cleaned my RAM sticks and I live smack dab in the middle of a desert

I got them about 10 or so years ago

(yes, ddr3 and 1666 and all that)

[latent arrow]

exactly thats nothing some people never clean machine and will have it for 5/10 years (hot and horrible yes but they built to be battered so probably just bad ram/failed ram sticks)

[latent arrow]

i mean more army computers in a sandstorm kinda thing lol but sure aha

[full fossil]

yeah most likely just failed sticks

[latent arrow]

laptops would die so quick if it was the case too

[full fossil]

that was a laptop

[latent arrow]

but who cleans a laptop insides (unless you part of ltt discord and a nerd lol)

[full fossil]

I didn't know I was supposed to clean my fans until just before pandemimc

then I cleaned them and saw a 40 degree diff in temps

[latent arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/ooh-yikes-cringe-oh-no-ouch-gif-5098869455375715403

yeah you should atleast clean where you can aha

(just mean regular person ain't opening up a laptop and cleaning the inside of it)

Yo I need a wireless handheld keyboard and mouse solution so I can navigate my pc in bed on the TV screen, does anyone know any good solutions???

Well, I can’t find photo proof, but before Macs got as secure as they are now, I had put Linux, Windows & Mac all on one Macbook and Triple booted. Not sure if it’s still possible, idk

[rustic tundra]

[smoky badge]

it’s a CPU

[smoky badge]

Windows sounds nice on a mac

[rigid pawn]

Once Windows on ARM gets sorted, I’m sure they’ll bring back bootcamp. They hardpart was really Linux and Triple booting for me

[solar sinew]

hiii

[rigid pawn]

Hi

Welcome welcome

How’re you?

[gleaming compass]

Windows on ARM such as Raspberry Pi has been sorted for a while

[rigid pawn]

Let’s rephrase that to Windows on ARM that’s usable for the average user as a replacement for Windows on Intel

[grim belfry]

It is still possible :)

[gleaming compass]

Much like Windows on Itanium got sorted? :P

[grim belfry]

However it'd have to be MacOS and two installations of Asahi

There's currently an exclusivity agreement with Qualcomm for windows on arm, so it's really not. It's just this is a legal reason rather than a technical one.

[waxen forum]

Not sure where I should post this but I play stretched resolution for some games ever since a update or something I always get this: I've always been able to create custom resolutions but randomly it says they're not supported by my monitor

[covert cradle]

This should be over with soon though

[rigid pawn]

The exclusivity is for distribution by corporations afaik. All bootcamp ever did was release drivers, not the actual OS

[rigid pawn]

[rigid pawn]

Eh. Anything is if you try hard enough I guess

[grim belfry]

It's really not hard

Apple openly allows it

[gleaming compass]

How many times did Intel attempt to make it the year of Itanium for Windows Server? :P

[grim belfry]

Apple allows booting unsigned/custom kernels on Apple Silicon Macs without a jailbreak!
-Asahi Linux about page

[rigid pawn]

Eh. Not even with lack of drivers for both Windows & Linux?

[rigid pawn]

Oh, did not know that

[grim belfry]

Asahi linux is the only other OS I believe

[gleaming compass]

According to Ars Technica there is enough drivers for Linux to put some sort of hat on an M2 device from the bad fruit company

[rigid pawn]

I see

[grim belfry]

Not because they're hacking Apple silicon or anything, just because nobody else can be bothered to make a compatible OS

[gleaming compass]

Once you have Apple's own BSD and Asahi's linux, what other modern OS'es did you still need?

[grim belfry]

I mean, once you have Windows and Debian, what other OSes do you need?

[rigid pawn]

I mean, I’m not a fan of ubuntu these days

I prefer Mint

[gleaming compass]

Don't drink the coolaid from Mark Shuttleworth, it will kill you in a Snap

[grim belfry]

There I fixed it

[rigid pawn]

Why in a snap and not with a snap?

[grim belfry]

In a Snap makes more sense imo

[gleaming compass]

I'm sure someplace the BeOS/Haiku fan boys would like to try again to rewind time and claim they have the next Mac OS :P

You might say they aren't ready to take the NeXT step yet

[dusk pollen]

i feel like firesticks will fail, they're useless, every tv is smart now

[gleaming compass]

Just don't use snap, we have flatpak

[gleaming compass]

firesticks will fail but because of Amazon, they are discontinuing Fire OS

[tulip gulch]

H llo(

[dusk pollen]

most favourable hacking tool gone :(

[grim belfry]

?

[rigid pawn]

I disagree. With a snap is so much faster than in a snap where you have to put them in the can and all that nonsense

[gleaming compass]

You missed the memo on project Vega?

[grim belfry]

That's not discontinuing fireos though

[full fossil]

whats that?

[tulip gulch]

I kid boy out of brain surgery and wanted to talk rob so for

Pleads

I’m lease

[rigid pawn]

Wat

[grim belfry]

[gleaming compass]

That is the replacement for Fire OS

[tulip gulch]

Hjudt please Linus

I love you man

[grim belfry]

I reckon it'll still be called fireos

[rigid pawn]

<@&750150305383186585>

[gleaming compass]

That would be misleading because Vega can't run any android APIs

[grim belfry]

No it wouldn't be misleading

[full fossil]

Hey I'm leaving this server till the pedophile problem gets dealt with here

[grim belfry]

lmao what

[rigid pawn]

Wat

[gleaming compass]

You have any additional details you want to share?!?!

[rigid pawn]

I have seen many problems here, that ain’t one of them o_o

[gleaming compass]

should we poke all the users and make sure none of them respond to being called Richard Stallman?

[rigid pawn]

Ummmm…..

Sure I’ll let you take care of the poking part 😛

[gleaming compass]

poke are you RMS?

[rigid pawn]

Hmmmmm. Seems quiet… tooo quiet

[gleaming compass]

I'm bored, this witch hunt isn't working out. We should go back to bread.

[grim belfry]

There's a bunch of pedophiles in the LTT server I outed before, I sent evidence to one of the admins and left
please stop following me to other servers
Then she blocked me

[rigid pawn]

Huh?

[grim belfry]

I asked that person in a mutual server

[rigid pawn]

Ah

[gleaming compass]

Well, something clearly triggered them and they seem to be rubbed raw by it right now so it might be best to let it go.

[grim belfry]

. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gleaming compass]

We aren't in a position to help.

[rigid pawn]

I agree

[tulip gulch]

I had I her a stokers

[rigid pawn]

[gleaming compass]

I don't know

[smoky badge]

[gleaming compass]

I want cheese bread

[tulip gulch]

Yes

[covert cradle]

Talk to your Dr, not this discord lmao

[tulip gulch]

Help i want someone to tell tbpl we

[gleaming compass]

And not even the bread type of trolls :(

[tulip gulch]

Your.tour a idle to me

[grim belfry]

call 112 or your emergency number and leave this server:)

[rigid pawn]

oh, ours is 911 lol

[grim belfry]

112 will work :)

[tulip gulch]

Pls dm Mr Antony I want to tell

[grim belfry]

It works in most of the developed world

[gleaming compass]

No, don't you remember it has been changed...

Should be “in” not “to” 😛

[gleaming compass]

English isn't my native language. I don't know.

[grim belfry]

Sticking it in us is a little too sexual

[rigid pawn]

I see, probably should ignore what I said then

[grim belfry]

Yeah lmao

[gleaming compass]

What is being upgraded?

[full fossil]

His extreme ultimate AMD tech upgrade

[gleaming compass]

oh cool

[rigid pawn]

Probably waiting on some random component

[full fossil]

Tru

[rigid pawn]

That has nothing to do with Tech

[full fossil]

Just some uwu expensive wifeu

[gleaming compass]

He is going to have a strong source of entropy included?

[rigid pawn]

Nah, he can’t afford that

[full fossil]

He'd get a loan just to get it 😂

[prime solstice]

I should upgrade my pc before the new doom game releases

[rigid pawn]

Lmao

[full fossil]

Or just wait to see required system specs and upgrade based on that

[prime solstice]

That’s what I’m gonna do

[full fossil]

Yeah that's the smart move

[rigid pawn]

Or just go all out

[gleaming compass]

Doom games don't feel the same anymore without John Carmack being involved

[rigid pawn]

Top of the line

[prime solstice]

I mostly play the original and 2016

[full fossil]

Yeah if you have 3k burning a hole in your pocket, why not

[prime solstice]

I only have $300 cdn rn so I can’t really go all out

[rigid pawn]

Oh only 3K? I thought it was at least 5K these days

[covert cradle]

5k if you have someone else build it or buy a prebuilt

[full fossil]

Nah you can get top of the line stuff for 3k but that's £ not $ so yeah probably 5k in $

[rigid pawn]

Should paint the desk, computer and monitor pink

[long belfry]

Yh

[prime solstice]

Go on Amazon and buy one of those $500 gaming pc and upgrade that one

[full fossil]

You need to download more ram

[gleaming compass]

My favorite color is infrared but I will learn to accept you going with pink instead

[rigid pawn]

Where’d the pic go?

Wat

[old yacht]

Yeah its a bit away there are otehr in front of me still

[grim belfry]

Are you waiting on another?

[full fossil]

Damit dude...ay at least it gives you more time to save for the little bits and bobs

[prime solstice]

I can’t wait til I get home on Sunday and play the copy of perfect dark on my Nintendo 64 I got yesterday

[rigid pawn]

Oh my bad. Okz paint it infared then

[full fossil]

W8 YOURE LIVE RN?! hell yeah dude

[old yacht]

Nah I dont need 2

[gleaming compass]

You have the additional memory expansion pack?

[prime solstice]

I have 5

[gleaming compass]

Do you use all 5 at the same time?

[grim belfry]

Fair

[prime solstice]

Well I could but I don’t

I just don’t feel like setting up my other n64 consoles

[gleaming compass]

It is ok, I could never get used to using a ninja Sai as a controller anyways
