[long briar]

it is worse

Aliexpress has buyer protection

Walmart is like Aliexpress and Facebook marketplace

[tepid haven]

Eesh

[long briar]

listings like Aliexpress, but no intervention from Walmart's end as if it's a private sale

[tepid haven]

God thats a mix and a half

[long briar]

basically if it's too good to be true, it probably is

[tepid haven]

Ooooooo multimillion (billion?) dollar company not protecting consumers through something they facilitate woooooo

[long briar]

yea

Bestbuy marketplace is similar too actually

[tepid haven]

What about just marketplaces in general lol

90% of them suck

[long briar]

Well

with Amazon, Aliexpress, Ebay, etc. you have to find out which stores are truthworthy

With Amazon, it's usually if it's fulfilled by Amazon

[tepid haven]

Yea, amazing if you know what you're doing

[long briar]

Aliexpress is if it's an aliexpress "choice" store or bronze/silver/gold store

not too sure about Ebay

[tepid haven]

Yeaaa, I would allways use a credit card for aliexpress for the protection just in case

[long briar]

Oh the other thing with Aliexpress is that they say which items have buyers protection

[long briar]

I just go through paypal

[tepid haven]

For most stuff its good, tech has a lot of overpriced lipstick pigs

[long briar]

It's kind of annoying to use credit card on paypal because they charge a service fee ;-;

[tepid haven]

Yea anything you can do a chargeback with

[tepid haven]

oof

Yea at least in the UK with a credit card you have buyer protection which means the card company must refund you if you dont get what you were advertised, pretty neat

[long briar]

I haven't actually ever been scammed on aliexpress, and aliexpress buyer's protection is very consumer sided

I ordered a watchband and they sent the wrong one, I just showed pictures and they told me to keep it and refunded my money

[tepid haven]

Yea aliexpress seems fairly good, I just wish on another note they'd get rid of all of the manufactured e waste

[long briar]

Yea...

[tepid haven]

Nice

[long briar]

(I have a few grand spent on aliexpress)

[graceful burrow]

What's what built aliexpress, that's not going away ever

Ever

[tepid haven]

Grand?? woah

[long briar]

I mean

I spent quite a bit on my tablet from Aliexpress

Xiaomi Pad 6s pro

It's quite solid actually

various chargers and other things

it all adds up

haven't been scammed once so I'm pretty happy about that

[vapid smelt]

How many years do they promise to update it

[long briar]

They don't say specifically, but it'll probably be 3 years software + 5 years security if the other models are anything to go by

[tepid haven]

Cheaper than on xaiomi website I take it?

[long briar]

yep

[tepid haven]

Nice

[long briar]

though, Oneplus pad 2 seems very appealing

no fingerprint is really annoying

[tepid haven]

Yea It's great for finding a seller and then seing their aliexpress page have everything 100 to 20 cheaper

[long briar]

but specs for price seems to be really good

[tepid haven]

Yea It looks good if you want a tablet

I'm more a compter/laptop person

[covert cradle]

Considering it's xaomi, you should assume 2 years unless they explicitly say otherwise. They have a horrible track record lol

[long briar]

It was launched alongside the Xiaomi 14 which is 4 years of android versions and 5 years of security

[covert cradle]

that means nothing at all

[sturdy moth]

hi guys

[long briar]

we'll just have to see

Xiaomi doesn't state anything other than HyperOS getting an update every 90 days minimum

[covert cradle]

if a company doesn't promise they'll do something that costs a lot of money, it's definitely best to assume they won't

[long briar]

yea

the bigger issue is the pad 6s pro isn't even acknowledged in Xiaomi security database

so we'll have to see if A15 is the last one for this thing

it's already in the A15 Beta

[vapid smelt]

I personally don't like buying cheaper phones with minimal support, I have only upgraded my phones when they are unusable because of os support or they start to struggle to do basic task

[long briar]

I mean

Android has already matured to the point where I honestly don't really care about android updates for the sake of updates

if I get a few years of security patches that's enough for me

I run a Google Pixel 8 because of 7 years of feature drops

[covert cradle]

major android updates are boring af nowadays. security updates are all I want too

[long briar]

I couldn't care less about getting Android 22, but I do want to have the features Google develops for their phones

like at this point I don't think I could live without Call Screening

Well Xiaomi explicitly say all their devices get 3 years minimum of security patches

[covert cradle]

No they don't, they say at least 2 years

Typically, we will maintain the security updates for at least 2 years after the first shipment of a certain device model.

We may support the security updates for 3 years or longer for some models, which are subject to actual conditions

[gilded quest]

Same

I heard Samsung added some sort of screening to oneui but I haven't tried it yet

[crisp notch]

how many effects is too many?

[pallid falcon]

For what

[crisp notch]

for some crappy "edit" im making for my friend

[pallid falcon]

Hmm

It depends

[crisp notch]

it more resembles a flashbang than anything

[somber nacelle]

hi there

[long briar]

Wait I swear I read somewhere that starting with A14 HyperOS 1.0 it was changed

and HyperOS was part of the entire optimization cleanup which removed a lot of "features" that nobody uses and would make updates simpler

[crisp notch]

hello

[shell locust]

the wording on this is kinda confusing do you pay for 24 months then get 5 months free cause that would be 47.04 or do you pay for 29 months then get 5 more months free? that would be the 56.84

[long briar]

They use Bixby

[gilded quest]

Oh

[long briar]

"bixby text call"

bixby text call is technically better since you can type your own responses and have bixby read it out to them

but I really dislike the implementation

[crisp notch]

i barely use bixby

its voice activation is annoying

i think i could turn it off but i can just look up whatever i need aswell

[pallid falcon]

Bixby call screening is actually useful

[covert cradle]

Technically that is covered by their statement "may support ... for 3 years ... on some models". They've definitely left it vague on purpose. Their policy also states it can be changed at any time ;p

[long briar]

Google's implementation explicitly states "Hello, the person you are calling is using a screening service from Google. Please state your name and why you're calling"

Bixby says "Hello, I'm using Bixby to talk for me. Please tell me why you're calling, then Bixby will read my responses to you"

With Google it's like an actual call screen and Bixby it's more of a Text to Speech

[vapid smelt]

After the first 5 words most callers hang up on my screen calls

For Google

[graceful burrow]

Good

[pallid falcon]

Bixby they seem to only hang it they're a scammer (for me!!)

[thorn ice]

back on the cable tie topic, there's a possibility it came from Daiso, given some of their other products

(and there's a Daiso in Vancouver)

[vapid smelt]

Did you know if you give me your personal information i can hook you up with a Saudi prince

[pallid falcon]

First name: kobold

[crisp notch]

mind if i send you a dozen eggs every other week?

[pallid falcon]

I'm above all that I'm dungeon operator I am above all I am sleepy .. zzz

[full fossil]

goober

😃

[long briar]

Good, it means it wasn't important

I ran a summer camp where I had to work with about 7 other businesses

so I was always waiting for a callback, none of them would hang up on hearing Call Screen

it was actually perfect

[thorn ice]

A lot of basic call center autodialers can't handle an interaction with a machine so they punt it

[timid lava]

Good morning

[ionic abyss]

so was a 4tb samsung sata ssd for $30 a good buy in store at walmart?

since i can go pick it up from the store what are the chances of a fake ssd

id guess low

[long briar]

ironic.

[long briar]

you asked the same question like an hour ago

It's a scam

[ionic abyss]

hmmm

[covert cradle]

Is a $300 SSD for $30 a good deal? No, that's a scam

[ionic abyss]

wouldnt that get walmart in a lot of trouble for stocking fake 4tb ssds in their physical stores

i see pickup today as a option

[thorn ice]

honestly I'd take it and if it looks fishy, I'd skip it.

it's only $30, might be a manager misprice

[viscid mason]

Linus-and our sponsor is D-brand, oh F*** wait a second

[thorn ice]

worst case you get a refund

[covert cradle]

And if you click that and put it in your cart, does it still say it's $30?

[ionic abyss]

yes

[covert cradle]

Care to share the listing?

[ionic abyss]

id have to find it on my pc

it poped up on my phone during by 2nd break

[covert cradle]

Then how did you instantly respond that the price in cart when set to pickup was actually $30?

[ionic abyss]

i will be picking it up later

if they hand me the wrong size ill get a refunt

lol

[covert cradle]

$30 isn't in wrong size territory, that's cheap sd card in a fake Samsung plastic enclosure territory

[ionic abyss]

well its a sata ssd

if i get a 4tb drive yayt

why did my well loved razor basilisk hyperspeed become so overpriced

they used to be $40

now $70

why must everything go up in price!

why i ask why

[thorn ice]

are you sure this was a real walmart item?

and not like a fake walmart site?

[ionic abyss]

yes

they offered pickup from my local store \

walmart.com

[topaz yew]

Hey

[covert cradle]

msrp of $59.99 and it's currently out of stock from 1st party. $70 is from scalpers, I mean marketplace sellers

[ionic abyss]

im talking about the wireless not the corded

i refuse to use corded mice!!

i think all mice should be cordless

[covert cradle]

and so am I
https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07YPBQSCK?cpf=amazon

[ionic abyss]

i rember when microsoft made great cordless mice

now they make mice that are worse than ewaste

i could get a mx master 3 for the same price as a new basilisk v3 wireless mouse

not sure if the mx master would be ok for gaming

[manic torrent]

If you don't do high intensity fps it's ok, but sadly the rate is low.

[pliant karma]

lol yea

[manic torrent]

Also never buy razer products

[ionic abyss]

they make some good stuff anbd a lot of overpriced stuff

[manic torrent]

I have a g520x plus with a power play mat. A++++

[manic torrent]

... And either way their company is shit and their software is pure junk, and their ethics is terrible

[eternal hearth]

g502 beloved

[pliant karma]

my viper ultimate stopped working. Took it out of the box to test it before giving it to my cousin, wouldn't charge or charge on the dock.

had it since 2021 but it had issues couple months in

[ionic abyss]

i dont care if the people who make my wireless mose are ethical

[manic torrent]

Yes but when the software requires an online account to work at all.... And includes an optional crypto miner.....

[covert cradle]

I loved dealing with Razer's support. I definitely didn't go in circles for weeks with 4 agents telling me to just download razer synapse and my hardware failure would magically go away.

[ionic abyss]

90% of the electronics come from china anyway and 100% have components from china

[manic torrent]

And as we all know, China is a small place and everything is the same

[eternal hearth]

corporations suck what else is new

[pliant karma]

wait when did they have the optional crypto miner

[manic torrent]

A while back.

[ionic abyss]

eek a corp that sucks never

[manic torrent]

There are levels of suck. Razer is of the "lol fuck you you paid already" level, nothx

[ionic abyss]

you must praise our corperate overlords

[manic torrent]

I'm in no way saying Logitech is good

[ionic abyss]

or just praise the hypnotoad

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD!

[manic torrent]

I'm saying that razer is so bad, that I won't purchase their products - and I'm not alone by any stretch

Their long history of questionable quality combined with anti consumer behavior is like... Fool me twice, can't get fooled again.

[pliant karma]

ironically I use to be a sucker for razer back then...but that was just a phase of me . Now it's just an expensive keyboard hobby

[manic torrent]

I mean, some of their products are excellent when they work. And their marketing is excellent.

[pliant karma]

Synapse that is another level lol.

screwed with windows enough my system wouldn't boot once.

[manic torrent]

Also concurrently having synapse 2 and 3? With different hardware support? Fuck me

[pliant karma]

lol

[uncut torrent]

I didn't bother with synapse, altho I don't really customize my kB/mouse

Just leave the lights at the default settings

[worthy needle]

im new to ebay, how does local pickup work. Do they pay me at the pickup or do they pay me through ebay

[crisp notch]

can anyone with any editing experience tell me how easy/hard it is to make something half decent in capcut?

[worthy needle]

what are you trying to male

make

[covert cradle]

cash on pickup is an option, but I believe you can choose whether a listing accepts that or not

[worthy needle]

would that make it the only way of payment. that is the one that i want

[crisp notch]

the furthest thing from half decent (some "edit" of my friend, currently just spamming random effects and stuff)

[covert cradle]

I don't think you can list something without an electronic payment method

[vapid smelt]

I don't need to try I already am male

[crisp notch]

lol

[covert cradle]

In your payment options, select Pay on pickup and any other payment methods you'd like to accept. You need to offer buyers at least one of the approved electronic payment methods, and you cannot discourage buyers from using any payment method you specified in the listing.

[worthy needle]

i should remove pay in person preferabbly from my title then lol

[lone quarry]

Hey can somebody confirm something for me? One of my friends absolutely loves Elijah and we were talking, how old is Elijah? Like hes only in his 20s right? lol

Kinda off topic, but how possible is it for home burglars to steal Desktop PC’s? Crime rate where I live has been going up a lot, and I’m going away for a few days, I always though burglars never got heavy items like these, but I’ve seen a lot lately, some even take TV’s off the walls

[pliant karma]

Something going through its mind for sure.

[late trail]

hi

[wraith sonnet]

is it weird that I care more about chassis than I do mobos / gpu's?

https://grit.xpg.com/blog/1195 did this thing ever launch?

[covert cradle]

Weird? Not really. Plenty of people care more about the superficial aspects of a build than the performance and usability.

[gilded quest]

If they get in your house with nobody home and no alarm system, not much stopping them from taking anything

[wraith sonnet]

There's literally nothing new here

[sand sky]

I know, which is why I made my own DIY alarm using python and js and some leftover webcams, but I need to invest in a real system, that isn’t going to cut it (I’ve basically Frankensteined all of them together into a discord bot and a YouTube live that when it detects motion it sends a message in a server, and if you verify that there’s an intrusion you can run a command that will play a alarm sound via some loud speakers I have)

[pliant karma]

looks like naoki got it before us.

[wraith sonnet]

oh

wow that is weird

[pliant karma]

do you have the ability to forward dms, server messages, pics/videos, and links?

[wraith sonnet]

I'm also using it in chrome since this is a work computer...

[pliant karma]

ah ok

[wraith sonnet]

wait forwarding is a thing?

Why have I not known about this

weird

@vapid smelt are you melting yet

that is definitely abusable

what if you edit?

screenshots can be doctored I don't believe these can if they link to the poster

[pliant karma]

lol here is a fun part the person is not notified if you forward it. Did some testing with that.

[wraith sonnet]

finally every youtuber ever can be cancelled

[pliant karma]

I am assuming there will be a server side setting to disable but who knows.

You can also preview the enrire server even if you are not in it.

forwarded my own message to my archive server and checked my alt test account.

it updates real time too

test 3

[grim belfry]

Yikes

[pliant karma]

oh boy this is gonna be a fun

[grim belfry]

We should just move to Microsoft Teams

On a good note I cannot see channels that need roles to see it ahemm floatplane through preview

[gilded quest]

in fact it's half of the dakotas

[graceful burrow]

The black hills are a gem amongst vast nothingness

[tepid jasper]

tbh cold days are just better

god you will never have a better sleep than in negative temps

[gilded quest]

define cold

[harsh quartz]

30c is what our nightly temperatures are on an average day :p

[tepid jasper]

-10c?

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's half the dakotas if you're counting states, not sure about area

[gilded quest]

kill me

[graceful burrow]

@full fossil there's a nonzero chance we live in the same town you know that right

[tepid jasper]

you dont understand

[long briar]

-10c is not cold...

[harsh quartz]

Luka, move immediately

[tepid jasper]

warm blankie and you just snuggle and its nice and cozy

[long briar]

-10c is t shirt temps for me

i'm living in the smallest city i have ever lived in, and we have ~600k in city limits (2.4mil metro?)

[harsh quartz]

God I could never

[gilded quest]

my university was several times bigger...

[harsh quartz]

100k in the county area is too big, and we’re a very spread out county too

[gilded quest]

where i grew up is well over a million in city limits and over 4 million metro

[graceful burrow]

I'm tryna figure out a way to ask if you live in my town without telling literally everyone lmao

Oh

@full fossil does the Walmart in your town have the worst goddamn parking lot

Like
Broken and shittily repaired

And so bumpy
So bumpy

[harsh quartz]

Is that not every Walmart?

[graceful burrow]

We don't have a mall here so def not the same town

[graceful burrow]

This one's a genuine cut above the rest

Or

Cut below

[long briar]

Canadian walmart here has a solid parking lot actually

[harsh quartz]

Oh thank FUCK I just got quickbooks working that’s been broken for 8 hours

[graceful burrow]

Canadian Walmarts aren't real Walmarts

[long briar]

LOL

[grim belfry]

QBD or QBO?

[long briar]

Canada isn't real

[gilded quest]

i enjoy the benefits living in a reasonably high population area bring

[harsh quartz]

I can only imagine how nice the people there are. As opposed to Walmarts in the south.

[gilded quest]

its all future american states

[graceful burrow]

That's fucked up lmao
There's a Perkins here with the worst laid out entrance to the parking lot I've ever seen
And on top of it there's a pothole that's big enough to actually get stuck in

[harsh quartz]

Desktop, hosted peer to peer on a workstation, their network went down over the weekend and they realized quick books was fucked up this morning

[graceful burrow]

It's even worse cause that Perkins fuckin rules

[grim belfry]

Still less downtime than QBO

[harsh quartz]

Our potholes have been getting worse every year cause we’re getting more and more frozen days each winter, and our roads weren’t good to begin with :p

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but this was 100% on me to fix and I have 0 idea on how QB works

[long briar]

oh no

[grim belfry]

It doesn't

[long briar]

in the costco parking lot I had grandmas flipping me off

[grim belfry]

Horrible UI

[harsh quartz]

That seems to be the general consensus

[long briar]

(I'm a young guy)

[tepid jasper]

alberta moment

[long briar]

I also don't shop at walmart

it's just... bad

[tepid jasper]

tnt and costco only tbh

[gilded quest]

not worth it

[harsh quartz]

Southern Walmarts are legitimately portals to other dimensions or some shit. Walk in and 50% of guys aren’t wearing shirts and 75% of guys are in crocs, everyone’s lined up at 12:00 on Sunday to buy beer ASAP, there’s like 2 visible employees in the whole store and they look like they’re trying to hide, shits just wild

[gilded quest]

almost every time i've been to walmart the last few years the store has been trashed and nobody is working in the check stands

[harsh quartz]

You won’t get treated poorly, it’s just, you won’t get treated kindly either. Which is weird for the south

Target is too pompous for me, I feel sick walking in there

[gilded quest]

lmao

[graceful burrow]

I used to work at a Walmart in rapid city
The bad one, not the one on the outside of town
I went home with a new story every day that place was nuts

[gilded quest]

you shouldn't
we had some crazy whackjobs go into my target

[long briar]

ok by comparison ours is very civilized then

[harsh quartz]

Ours is like “the nice store” of our city, it’s the only store where I walk in and feel anxious :p

[graceful burrow]

Your ma is a smart woman

[harsh quartz]

Yeah that’s the other 50% that are wearing shirts. Or it’s that stupid fuckin nasa shirt that everyone on the planet has

[grim belfry]

Sorting is overrated

[harsh quartz]

Graveyard shift or British?

[gilded quest]

you shouldn't
target and walmart really are practically the same, except walmart carriers one tier lower end of product than target

oh, and targets are so much brighter

[graceful burrow]

Have a good night, enjoy the 90 degree weather tomorrow lol

[grim belfry]

Time zones are so inconvenient

[harsh quartz]

Idk, it’s just the kind of people. I didn’t grow up around target people :p

[gilded quest]

walmart near where i grew up had a lot of shootings

[harsh quartz]

And that might not be everywhere, but here target is the like, we’re better than you store

[gilded quest]

graveyard is overnights???

[harsh quartz]

Surprisingly, we don’t have that problem, Walmart is on the north side and the shootings are primarily on the south side

[gilded quest]

also don't work overnights, not worth it

[harsh quartz]

I always called graveyard third or overnights

Basically the pm-am shift

Pm-pm is just night shift :p

[gilded quest]

merrian webster just says beginning late nights

[gilded quest]

7pm-7am here

[harsh quartz]

Depends on the specific factory shifts but yeah I would call that graveyard, if they only have 2 shifts

What the fuck

Who has 5 shifts?

[graceful burrow]

Stay hydrated
Dehydration is the real killer

[gilded quest]

12 hour rotations
However there are 7 shift schedules

[harsh quartz]

Ya know what fair

[harsh quartz]

What kind of places y’all working at with these funky schedules

Ours were “8” hour shifts that somehow always turned into 12 hour shifts

And yeah, that shit paid, but I was losing so much to taxes

[gilded quest]

shift 4 is front half night
shift 5 is front half day
shift 6 back half night
shift 7 back half day
shift 1-3 are office workers or something or just obsolete

[harsh quartz]

Ngl, I am so incredibly confused with this

[gilded quest]

would a spreadsheet help

[harsh quartz]

No, ya know what, im not that invested

It’s weird and imma leave it at that :p

[grim belfry]

Spreadsheets always help

[harsh quartz]

unless it’s price to performance

[grim belfry]

❤️

@harsh quartz don’t worry it happens to everyone

[harsh quartz]

Huh?

[grim belfry]

You’re not the only one with accounting software issues

[harsh quartz]

Oh, I didn’t know what xero was

But the QB one was just peer to peer bullshit with how funky whatever the windows SMB system is

[grim belfry]

Still better than cloud imo

[near nymph]

Idaho is great. I'm the only Asian 👍

[harsh quartz]

Probably but the issue was that they lost internet, and when it came back up windows reset everything to “public networks” which turned off file sharing. So I re-enabled that early today, but it didn’t fix the issue. But apparently when file sharing is disabled, it like, soft removes permissions for shared folders? So even though they had access, they didn’t. Cause windows is fun.

So it wasn’t actually a QB issue but the QB error code was for something completely un-fuckin-related

[gilded quest]

2 week compressed schedule

24/7 coverage

[grim belfry]

Oh fun

[harsh quartz]

Yeah imma be honest, it’s a cool graph, and it makes sense, but I still don’t understand it

[grim belfry]

Ew google sheets

[gilded quest]

making this in sheets was so painful

but i don't have a need for excel on my personal system anymore

[grim belfry]

Excel is soooo much better yeah

[gilded quest]

even though i prefer google docs and slides

excel is just better

[harsh quartz]

OHHHH it’s 3 days on 3 days off 4 on 4 off and vice versa for the other crew. Got it

[gilded quest]

precisely

[harsh quartz]

That would’ve been easier than this^^^ :p

[gilded quest]

with the 2 week schedule, everyone gets 7 days on 7 days off, and work no more than 4 days in a row

[gilded quest]

@grim belfry said to make a spreadsheet

[harsh quartz]

So yes the spreadsheet helps :p

It’s like a rotating shift but not, and that’s strange. None of this makes it any less strange

[grim belfry]

Spreadsheets fix everything

Other than marriages

[gilded quest]

care to speak from experience?

[harsh quartz]

Financial budget spreadsheets often break those

[grim belfry]

lol

[harsh quartz]

🖐️ parents. Might’ve been cause of the spreadsheets. Or me, could’ve been me.

[manic torrent]

spreadsheets are useful in marriages though

[grim belfry]

Blame the spreadsheets

[harsh quartz]

(It was me)

[grim belfry]

It goes to either extreme

[vapid smelt]

damn it be room temp outside for you

[kindred tangle]

Am i hallucinating or youtube cuts off audio when not much is going on. Watching a game footage of a guy running through the grass and I notice cut off in audio. He slides down and audio comes back.

[graceful burrow]

Nope

[harsh quartz]

You smell any burnt toast?

[kindred tangle]

Yeah something is going on and idk who to blame my headphones, my usb dac or youtube

Replayed some game footage over and over again, half the times I notice sound cutting off copletely silent

4 times it cuts in 20second period, when watching on low volume, raising it fixes it

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like whatever is driving the headphones can't supply enough current

You need an amp

[stuck jacinth]

So i found out my inwin 909 was 1 out of 200

[bronze lintel]

any w11 laptop users

my trackpad has been clicking random things and shaking and basically going crazy randomly for the past week

[grim belfry]

Millions

[bronze lintel]

ive disabled and re enabled the driver along with update it, still no fix, i also did a windows update

[graceful burrow]

You havent tried replacing the track pad

[bronze lintel]

its a 2 year old laptop

[graceful burrow]

Why would that matter

Things fail regardless of wear or age all the time

Some things leave the factory broke

[grim belfry]

We also don't know what kind of laptop it is :)

[bronze lintel]

right but i havent had an issue until last week so i am led to believe its a software issue, replacing it is last resort

its a dell inspiron 15 5515 amd ryzen 5

[grim belfry]

Does it happen in the bios?

[bronze lintel]

havent checked, can the touchpad even be used in bios

[graceful burrow]

I
Don't see how "it was working last week" is relevant either lol
Things can break more and more overtime
But also
Things can just break suddenly

[grim belfry]

Yes

[graceful burrow]

It better be able to otherwise it'd suck ass to navigate

[grim belfry]

It's only in the lest 4 ish years that you've been able to use the mouse in the bios
Dell has done it for much longer, but some HP laptops were still shipping with ancient bios uis

[graceful burrow]

Cringe

[bronze lintel]

let me check i will be back :)

[grim belfry]

Now the HP bios is much nicer than the Dell one

If that doesn't work, try reseating the touchpad connector

The funny thing is I don't think Dell actually sells replacement trackpads for lots of their laptops

[bronze lintel]

oh wow I would have to take it apart

[grim belfry]

Damn you dell

Let them use their mouse in the BIOS ffs

[bronze lintel]

😭

[pure knoll]

Hpe bios even shittier somehow

[covert cradle]

@bronze lintel You could try it in the windows pre-boot menu. holding shift and clicking restart will take you there

It baffles me as well. It appears Linus and Linux just don’t seem to mesh very well.

[wispy marsh]

It's mac address

[zealous cedar]

Does a 5900x drawing 200w at 83c on a corsair aio(h100x) sound normal? I went from a 5600x to the 5900x and I’m concerned I can’t keep the darn thing cooled

[graceful burrow]

sounds fine

you're over 10c from throttle

[zealous cedar]

Makes me feel a bit better, I’ve reapplied the paste like 3 times thinking I must be not installing it correctly

[graceful burrow]

it's like 80 more watts than a 5600x pulls stock so

makes sense

[zealous cedar]

Thank you!

[uneven oxide]

when is scrapyard wars ep 2 coming

[grim belfry]

[spare lintel]

its normal

[manic torrent]

200w is a shitload of power into a CPU

[normal ocean]

Intel:

[ionic abyss]

i might look for a good wireless gamer mouse

[vapid smelt]

https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tools/table

[ionic abyss]

i see lots of junk mice in that list

the shape of a mouse matters a good bit

[vapid smelt]

the look at that too

[ionic abyss]

i dont play like i used to

i used to be able to play for 10-18 hours at a time

not all those mice would be good for long sessions

i see microsofts awful arc mouse

in the list

[vapid smelt]

soo dont buy it?

[ionic abyss]

sad to see a company that used to produce some of the best mice producing the junk they do now

here is the truth never treat yourself to a good keyboard or mouse and you will never know what your missing

[covert cradle]

Prob auto overclock from the mobo. Which in some sense is pretty normal. Stock that CPU wouldn't be doing more than 142W. That's cool enough though. Default Tjmax is 90°C

[heady orchid]

get viper v2

or gpro superlight

other mouses dont matter.

[tepid jasper]

sounds normal af

my stupid bequiet aio does about the same

[heady orchid]

just change the ppt edc edt

whatever its called undervolting i think

default AMD is always 200W+

[fresh sorrel]

ive legit only used razer naga mice for gaming ive become so acustomed to them i cant use anything else

[covert cradle]

Depends on how you define "default". AMD's actual stock is specifically 142W, but no motherboard manufacturer is gonna stick to that with their own defaults.

[heady orchid]

really now

[covert cradle]

Indeed

[heady orchid]

when mine is setup to default it was 200w

weird ahh mobo

[covert cradle]

For AM4 that is, it was upped for AM5

[heady orchid]

yeah im using asus b550

the default was 200 something

now its only 110 (im using 5800x)

[covert cradle]

None of the motherboard makers want to be the one that isn't pushing power limits or auto overclocking. Remember when x3d chips were being fried? It's not like they stopped this practice they just made an exception for x3d :p

[normal ocean]

I think it kinda default because AMD is pretty open to auto boost
And no MB makers want to be "that guy" who is obviously slower than others.
So everyone default boosting and "stick to stock power draw" become optional.

When you doing SFF where thermal are critical you might need to tinker with that.

ip ban

Viloation of Discord ToS

[covert cradle]

That's not a violation of discord ToS. You're brother lied to you about the reason lol

[restive lion]

ip banning

[covert cradle]

Ah

[restive lion]

its used so you cant simply make an alt and rejoin

it has the unfortunate side effect of banning entire households (or schools/workplaces/whatever)

also yes

probably but idr if the ip bans are persistent

if itll reapply once you get back on the same ip

you could probably also just restart your router to get a new ip assuming you have residential internet

if you dont know the difference, you have it

dms are off here

the main things to try are just restart your router and if that doesnt work jump on someone elses network/use a vpn

[vapid smelt]

just google how to change ip

ISPs love ipv6 cuz there aint enough ipv4s to go around, at least around here

Your account has been associated with the banned IP, so you’re banned
Move on :)

There are enough ipv4 addresses under cgnat 😉

Every phone that has NFC would be infinity better with IR blaster instead.

Nobody uses NFC. Everybody has a TV.

[grim belfry]

I don't have a TV at home :)

I use NFC everyday :)

[hearty spear]

I use NFC sometimes.

not daily, but I do use it.

[hearty spear]

not in a long-assed time.
And no, it's not coming back.,

[hearty spear]

it won't. it'd cost them too much in employee time and effort to keep it running.

[harsh quartz]

I rarely use my tv and when I do I control it with the Roku app. And nfc isn’t amazingly useful but it comes in handy if I forget my wallet. Use it more than I would an ir blaster

Also giving everyone an ir blaster is a bad idea

Best words of wisdom I can give, especially if you’re using tinder, every few months delete it and start a new one

[grim belfry]

Grindr works great

[austere shale]

The flood gates will open back up

They intentionally make you not get matches after a couple months to get you to buy their premium options

I wish I had the mind back then to actually chart how many matches I was getting over time, but I didn’t. So you just gotta go with the trust me bro guarantee

[grim belfry]

lol

[austere shale]

It’s true tho. Honestly it would be so interesting to go back and do to prove that there is exponential decay over the span of probably 6 months. I’ve probably deleted and remade my tinder at least 30 times until I got a girlfriend and don’t have to use said apps anymore

[summer folio]

It used to be per House Hold in Sweden just like UK.
But now the TV Licence is mandatory for every citizien & is automagicly redacted from your salary

aka tax, you should try it @full fossil
That way, all your siblings & both your parents can all pay TV License for the same TV.

4 times as much TV license, just in case.
(example with 2 kids living at home above age 18)

[full fossil]

on gov money so i litraly cant afoord to pay tax if i wanna live

[twin lion]

hi

[full fossil]

either pay tax or live

[summer folio]

Oh, in Sweden it's scales with your taxxable income, with max TV license amunth at 50% part time "minimage wage"

Can't have rich people paying more u know

You used to be able to save money by not owning a TV as poor, but not anymore!

[full fossil]

the country would colape if thye did

[summer folio]

Well, instead of raising taxxes in Sweden, they make up fixxed amonunth bs item taxxes that hits poor more.

[full fossil]

the uk gov can make you pay it if you have a phone cos u can possibly accses tv on it they will make you pay no avoiding it

[summer folio]

Like 50$ environmental taxx on Gaming consoles

Just increase everydoys taxxes by +0,5% instead ffs

[gusty olive]

I'll just keep paying my 12% income tax

[full fossil]

how dare you want your money

[summer folio]

So you have to import gaming consoles from Germany ig

[summer folio]

I'll just keep enjoying my free health care & free University

[gusty olive]

Sometimes I gotta pay 22%

[full fossil]

having money is only for the rich

[gusty olive]

Paying extra for something isn't free lol

[full fossil]

im purposly not gonna earn bove 50k its not worth the extra tax realy

[summer folio]

Paying extra?
Well, it's like maximum 100$ per year, if you need infinity health care that year

more or less free

[gusty olive]

Increase in taxes make up for it

[full fossil]

aint no point in working hard if ur poor they just take more

😃

[summer folio]

Well, for most citizens, you're forced to work full time for no pay, if you're on welfare

[gusty olive]

If I had to pay extra 20-30% in taxes to have something "free" that's like $250-$400 extra a week I'd be paying lol

[full fossil]

im on benfits but in colege but still volentering so i can still get em

[summer folio]

It's like a loop hole, "wanna keep getting welfare? Need to do practice work for no pay by companies wanting free labour. Then they fire you after x months & get a new free labour"

Kinda along those lines

Sweden Arbetsförmedlingen

[gusty olive]

My health insurance is $40 a week which included dental, vision and $200k life insurance

[full fossil]

i could do part time but no one will employ someone 17 part time in college if they do they purposely make it so you go work or get fired cos u need to go to college

[summer folio]

Dental? Nice, thats not free in Sweden

[twin lion]

Where i live in the uk i get free health care not great but its free

[summer folio]

not uncommon for dual-citizenship sweds* to fly home to their home countries for severe dental work xP

[gusty olive]

It doesn't pay all of the expenses but most

[full fossil]

its shit everywhere in uk i dont use it expet if need er (wont come untill im half dead)

[twin lion]

Fact

[gusty olive]

At what tax rate though lol

[full fossil]

i have to have less than 1 day of surval left to go to er

[twin lion]

oh taxes they take 8 to 9 percent

[gusty olive]

On income?

[summer folio]

Nicer! You don't really need teeth tho, so guess it's thought as plastic surgery in Sweden. Not "health care".

So not free.

Just drink milk. 🐮 🥛

[twin lion]

yeah uk they the taxes are taken out automatically

[gusty olive]

8-9% on income doesn't sound right lol last I checked y'all pay like 30-40%

Unless you're low income

[twin lion]

yeah im low income i make like 20k a year

[summer folio]

As is the retirement payment you get without working by the state in Sweden.
But on welfare from the town there is no taxx.

Like if you can't get a job.

[harsh quartz]

I think that 30-40 is cumulative, cause they have income but they also have purchase and all the others, altogether I think it ends up being like 30-40

[gusty olive]

I make $65k a year minimum

Could make 100-120k if I wasn't lazy

[twin lion]

to be fair your cost of everything i like much higher here in terms of bills

[summer folio]

By "working" 2 jobs remote?

[twin lion]

I like remote working but hate how much space my work stuff takes up on my desk

[gusty olive]

2 bedroom 1.5 bath town house $800 a month
Electricity $120 a month
Water $50 a month
Internet and phone $200 a month
Fuel less than $1 per litre

[twin lion]

three bedroom council home - £360
Electric and gas- £120 Month
Internet is £40 and phone bill is £22

[gusty olive]

No. Current single job just putting more effort into it lol

[twin lion]

bascially just cause a country might pay more doesn't mean it cost the same to live there

[full fossil]

ah so almsot on the street i dont extect to ever make more than 25k as a social worker

[gusty olive]

I essentially get paid by how productive I am. Per mile I drive

[summer folio]

64m2/690 sqft - 500$
Electricity - 15$
Water - Free
Fiber 500/500Mbit - 30$
Unlimited call/sms+1GB* data - 3$
Home insurance - 10$
Private Health Care Insurrance - 20$

My monthly expenses xP

[gusty olive]

Are these like government assisted places

[full fossil]

when i live on my own i will be turning my gas of so i can afford to live if gas included its imposible

id rather freeze in a concrete box than be in a cardboard box

[summer folio]

You're thinking of the Apartment rent?
Sweden have very strong renters association negotiating the entire countries rents every year

[full fossil]

tf?

[harsh quartz]

I mean, all of this is cheap as hell

[summer folio]

I don't complain haha

[full fossil]

600 a month is nothing

[gusty olive]

We have places for like $300-$500 a month but you gotta be poor lol so I don't qualify

[summer folio]

Counted wrong, the 3$ plan is for 1GB data with some trickery

[gusty olive]

Unlimited only

[full fossil]

i can only afford that housing if i cant im on the street

[summer folio]

I see. I live in Small town tho. 10-20k people.

[gusty olive]

We have 6k in mine

[summer folio]

If you live in the Stockholm or Göteborg ig it's more expensive & 10-20 year waiting in line before you get an apartment you want

Instead of 1-2 year in my town

[summer folio]

Hmm, my apartment is from the 70s so there is no grounded wall outlets, how about yours?

[gusty olive]

90s somewhat modern even comes with a dish washer

[summer folio]

Nicer! Apartments have Fridge/Freezer/oven/electrical cooking plates, but usually nothing else in Sweden.

I think the law on grounded wall outlets came in 1990s in Sweden

Never lived in something that new

[gusty olive]

I got fridge/freezer, stove/oven, central AC/heat, dish washer and of course water heater. Everything is electric

I have other appliances but I had to buy them lol

[fair sage]

i was just thinking how weird my resume would look like if i ever had to find a new job again 😄
4 years of Middle school (what americans call high school)
2 years of replacement for military service
24 years at my first employer (and counting 😄 )

doesnt matter than in those 24 years i did lot of projects in different programming languages, they would see the years and single employer and they would think "this guy must really not try to improve himself" i guess

[gusty olive]

Being at the same place for a long time can look good but can also look bad. They can think either "oh they're a dedicated employee" or "oh they never learned anything but they one skill set"

[fair sage]

"one skill set" 😄
Started as Delphi programmer (Pascal)
Then went PHP ( &HTML/CSS)
Then Apache Struts
Then JSF
Then a tool which doesn't even exist anymore (Canoo ULC, Server-side Swing GUI programming)
Then the whole J2EE stack app (JSF, EJB3 etc)
Then Angular/Typescript & stuff, meanwhile also Software AG Webmethods for backend
Sprinkles of native mobile Android & iOS programming

Also currently learning Kotlin Multiplatform 😛

[gusty olive]

If you make a resume add everything you have experience with and save it as the master copy but modify and remove skill and things you have experience with if it doesn't apply to whatever place you'd be sending it. Don't wanna seem overqualified lol

[fair sage]

nah, no need so far, i am not getting fired anytime soon (if ever)

just had the thought cause today we had a "team meeting with a beer" and one of the new guys was amazed that i was here 24 years, but i explained him that i pretty much changed what i worked on every few years somewhat

[manic torrent]

Solid meh on that. I leave everything in, because I'm awesome and if they don't want someone awesome I don't want to work there.

[gusty olive]

Lol

[fair sage]

i would actually fear they might think i am overqualified 😄 . One of the bosses actually complained about that, when they plan out the manhour needs for a task, they assign let's say 3 days, theni take a look at it, see a simple solution, done in 30 minutes 😄

now they have to pad the time with testing and stuff so they can charge the client the hours 😛

i mean i understand, they have to plan with slower colleagues in mind

[gusty olive]

Bill the customer based on estimated time then charge them extra for doing it faster and claim you had more people work on it to expedite it

[harsh quartz]

It’s less overqualified and more they don’t wanna read all that shit

[gusty olive]

That too. Especially if they don't even know what it is lol

[manic torrent]

... What is this shit

[fair sage]

more people doing it doesn't change the manhour total :). 2 people doing it for 4 hours or 1 for 8 hours is still 8 manhours

[ornate walrus]

house of the dragons wdym

i knew you dummys wouldnt watch good shows

[harsh quartz]

This is discord thirst

[gusty olive]

Become 8 man hours in 1 hour by yourself. EZ

[ornate walrus]

you prob thrist in real life you neck beard

[manic torrent]

... No, I don't mean that, I mean why are you posting fucking bizarre shit takes on it here

[harsh quartz]

The fuckin irony

[gusty olive]

uhhh

[ornate walrus]

bec this is public chat you dumass

[harsh quartz]

Imma just <@&750150305383186585>

[ornate walrus]

where you want me to post in tech chat

[gusty olive]

Probably #off-topic

[manic torrent]

#off-topic at best.

[ornate walrus]

oh

[manic torrent]

But the best time to post that would be never

[ornate walrus]

okay

[gusty olive]

[gusty olive]

[ornate walrus]

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/goose-bread-goose-bread-gulp-gif-21901748

[gusty olive]

Conversations tend to lead into something else

But starting off with something random is different

[manic torrent]

It wasn't random, it was cringe

[ornate walrus]

ok reddit mod

jk

[gusty olive]

and trying to immediately insult people lol

I don't even use reddit so

[harsh quartz]

“Guys look at this actress isn’t she so hot” yeah, that’s why she’s an actress
