how about either of these

originally $300 but on sale for $180

[grim belfry]

Both of those look like solid choices

At least with Amazon, you can return it if you really don’t like it

Even though that’s a pain in the arse for a chair

Pun intended

[royal sail]

Which one should I order first

Probably the one on sale?

[grim belfry]

Yeah, go for the cheaper one first
No point buying the expensive one if the cheaper one is good enough for you

[royal sail]

Alright

I am watching the Ryzen 9000 video, is it my setup or did they mess up the audio? It is clipping all over the place (too much gain).

[quasi belfry]

Wikipedia acted faster than the fucking US health system

[deep solstice]

You can't just randomly link your own videos lol

[summer folio]

context?

[quasi belfry]

Owner of furaffinity died due to complications with their lungs, and within the same day Wikipedia got updated after the announcement of their death

Just more reason to dislike the US healthcare system

[summer folio]

I regret asking.

[quasi belfry]

Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to

Yeah

[summer folio]

My guess would be someone in staff wanting to do keto & someone want them to fail.

Bread.

Free cake & candy being deliviered to the editing desks etc. Surely.

Lasertag

Waterguns

Nah, Lasertag & waterguns

Air soft can be fun, low entry.
Can just take toilet paper roll & put a baloon on it.

& fire the balls

[deep solstice]

Airsoft is fun. Many fields have rentals

All depends on where you are. Very happy with my field

[harsh quartz]

My favorite airport thing was the wizard videos on YT. Guy just runs around with a “wand” full of airsoft pellets and chucks them at people in close range

I want to start a editing career any tips?

[wise pumice]

dont

[deep solstice]

That is excellent

[quasi belfry]

[wise pumice]

meh for me roblox is generally a kids game , simple game that doesnt require much thinking

[quasi belfry]

Lua made me want to die once (I’m just a bad programmer)

I can barely do python

BUT I CAN DO HARDWARE FINE

[deep solstice]

The only Lua I've really done much of is those computer mods for Minecraft lol

[harsh quartz]

No, Roblox gives Roblox a bad name

[thin nacelle]

Yo

[wise pumice]

oy

[deep solstice]

I used to spend so much time on Roblox lol. That was my childhood

My original account was from 2011 but my main account was created 2012

[harsh quartz]

Idk, maybe child gambling, black market, and exploitation practices?

[finite wyvern]

Testing out Chinese thermal cameras . Quality is incredible

Better then flir or seek

[deep solstice]

That's quite impressive

Likely due to the fact that American-made ones are heavily regulated

America makes fantastic FLIR cameras, but they use them for military purposes lol

[silk dove]

you can get them but its a lot of paperwork and you cant resell it

[finite wyvern]

Yeah flir and seek are 9 fps . These 2 Chinese infiray are 25 -30 fps and low noise at night

[deep solstice]

Yeah exactly. Heavily heavily regulated

[deep solstice]

That's very cool to hear.

Where did you procure them? AliExpress?

[silk dove]

how big are they?

[finite wyvern]

And apparently will be import banned by Congress this fall . I got both these off Facebook marketplace

[deep solstice]

Any branding I can use to find them?

[silk dove]

damn

[finite wyvern]

Infiray, XInfrared, Topdon

[deep solstice]

Very cool

My RX 6800 XT Red Devil when ran at 100% hovers around 78C is that an okay temp or should I do something about it?

[deep solstice]

Nothing wrong with that.

Lower is better obviously but that isn't dangerous in the slightest

[finite breach]

How much is dangerous?

[deep solstice]

If it were in the 90s I'd be a little worried

High 80s same thing

[full fossil]

is it good to upgrade from a 5600g to a 9600x

[finite breach]

I thinking of upgrading from 5600x to 5800x3d

[full fossil]

i have a 6650xt

[finite breach]

So probably good upgrade

[full fossil]

lemme check canadacomputers for prices

[storm niche]

linus crack tips

[full fossil]

is 5700x3d good

[finite breach]

Max out the am4 and wait to upgrade later on at maybe when am6 comes or even higher

But who knows what might happen

[full fossil]

found it for 280cad

so i upgrade my ram and cpu

[finite breach]

Isn't 9600x am5?

[full fossil]

yes it is

it was good of me to upgrade that 1050ti

[finite breach]

So u have am4 and u need to upgrade ur mobo, ram and cpu

[full fossil]

nah i will just upgrade cpu

[finite breach]

But u can't put am5 cpu on an am4 board

[full fossil]

i know i want to upgrade the am4 cpu to another am4 cpu

[tired glade]

7000,8000 and 9000 is am5

[finite breach]

I thought u were referring to this

[full fossil]

270 for 5900x worth it

Super worth it

Was a drop-in replacement and a huge huge boost in performance in the games I like to play (flight sims and other cpu-heavy games)

[wise pumice]

i dont think ive ever met anyone who plays roblox and is older than 18

[tired glade]

Way too many 30+ playing Roblox

[deep solstice]

Do you know where that comes from? It was from before everyone could type. Accounts under 13 needed to use a menu of "safe chats" and one of them was "oh no teh epic duck is coming"

Definitely a classic

[deep solstice]

I think this topic has run its course lol

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I dipped out of chat when they started explaining
I don't really care

[deep solstice]

Some of the military FLIR these days is ridiculous though lol. The DAS on the F-35 is a 360 degree FLIR camera you can look at through the AR helmet

[graceful burrow]

Flir is neat

#gaming

You should be posting there, not here

There's a reason nobody is engaging you

Most people here don't care about roblox, and this chat is for ltt and ltt adjacent stuff

Anyway

[graceful burrow]

#off-topic

[polar fern]

Try #gaming

[graceful burrow]

Read the channel description

[polar fern]

Then #off-topic

[graceful burrow]

There's a reason it's not named "general" chat

[polar fern]

It’s tech related

[graceful burrow]

The topic was flir and ltt uses flir modules whenever they use a thermal camera

[neon mesa]

trying to push fps in roblox for absolutely no reason.
my 5700x3D became a bottleneck, only got like 500 at most

slower than my 5600 actually

[polar fern]

The night vision used in military vehicles can also be used in other applications, such as home automation, security, and potentially even interactive stuff such as gaming.

[graceful burrow]

Same

[polar fern]

anyway, I already take care of two kids… a third is definitely too many

[graceful burrow]

Nobody's paying me to babysit

[polar fern]

I really need to make lunch, but I barely have any energy. It would be cool if we could have a home automation system that could make meals to specification for people with disabilities such as myself..

I could see it being a fairly decent market space especially if you had a subscription etc to different recipes

[wise pumice]

just eat toast👍

20 slices of toast should be enough

[polar fern]

I am a 6 foot five 250 pound big hairy cyclist. Just eating toast would actually trigger a low blood sugar event because my digestive system is expecting more than just a slice of bread

[shut lichen]

It's the ltt discord, it's implied.

[wise pumice]

cinnamon toast👍

[shut lichen]

And it's in the channel description

[polar fern]

speaking of toast, I’ve actually discovered that the chemical people are concerned about in heated carbohydrates (acrylamide?) is actually a precursor to chemicals that could potentially be harmful and not actually directly a carcinogen.

[upbeat ridge]

[jade lantern]

Something under my desk keeps sparking and then everything shuts off

I just try to keep the cables from hanging

I have like five going down the back though I need to get rid of those and then get more power strips or something cuz I'm pulling like 2,000 w from a single plug

9 acres is not enough lol

Sometimes I would accidentally kick it and then everything shuts off so I don't know why

I'm going to replug everything and try and fix this

[deft void]

Mine is worse since its all under my desk

[deft void]

Cables never hurt nobody

[jade lantern]

Everything goes to that single plug in the wall

[deft void]

Lmao

[jade lantern]

It all goes to a single extension cord which goes down to my desk and then so much other stuff is on that

I probably need to move my 3D printer to a new outlet

[deft void]

I got 2 extension cords into 1 socket

[jade lantern]

I have so many things here that draw a ton of power

Setup kinda crazy tho

Phone

[deft void]

W wheel

[wise pumice]

by using their phone 😭

[jade lantern]

Got the stream deck a few days ago

Totally worth it whenever I'm using VR

I press a couple buttons and everything starts up

And then I can change audio sources and stuff for everything

[deft void]

So you rich rich

[wise pumice]

i want to get a wheel on my desk too but i feel like itll be so cluttered

[jade lantern]

It is

I like never use it

[jade lantern]

I work at McDonald's

[deft void]

How much an hour I'm curious

I assume you're american?

[jade lantern]

13

Yes

[deft void]

And how old are you?

[jade lantern]

18

[deft void]

Not too bad

Here it would be like 14 or 15

[wise pumice]

aint 13 like the minimum over there

[deft void]

But I'm in belgium

[deft void]

It's quite low for Americans ngl

Inflation is crazy

[wise pumice]

ye ive seen some crazy vids on american wages

[jade lantern]

Everywhere else that I see is hiring at 15 or 16 an hour

[wise pumice]

"we earn 90k a year but are living paycheck to paycheck"

[jade lantern]

In some state you could have been paid like $7 or $6 an hour

I think the federal minimum got increased though

[deft void]

Man I would love to work in McDonald's

But got none nearby

[wise pumice]

i would not it looks awful tbh

[jade lantern]

To me, it's really funny whenever people yell at me

[deft void]

From what I've heard it's alr

[jade lantern]

It doesn't happen that often though we have a small town

[deft void]

Not the best or worst

[jade lantern]

A ton of travelers have been coming through asking for a daily double or something like that

[wise pumice]

the 8 hours shifts would be nice im getting tired of the 12s

[jade lantern]

And the frozen drinks and then they scream at us because it's advertised out there on the signs which we can't change

[deft void]

Is it true that when you're on lunch break the food is free for you?

[jade lantern]

You get a free meal per day

[deft void]

W

[jade lantern]

If you work

At least I do. It depends on the franchise

[toxic delta]

Yeah dude I had been at sonic for and got let go while on vacation

[deft void]

Id get fat so quick

[deft void]

Sonic?

[wise pumice]

tbf u end up burning alot of the calories during the shift

[jade lantern]

Are you also getting a 30% off discount for you send any store in the United States

[wise pumice]

i think sonic is american fastfood restaurant

[jade lantern]

You can add it to the mobile app and then just use it anywhere

[deft void]

Ah alr

[toxic delta]

Sonic drive in

[jade lantern]

I use the 30% off twice during our trip to Minnesota yesterday

[deft void]

I'm a skinny mf so I'd gain weight

[jade lantern]

It took like $30 off our order

[deft void]

Use the app

[wise pumice]

uhhh doesnt that mean you spent like 100 bucks on mcdonalds... wtf

[jade lantern]

It's close to that whenever you're ordering for a lot of people

You'd be surprised how many people order over $90 of stuff

It's like one out of five cars

[wise pumice]

i feel like im paying alot when it gets over £10

[jade lantern]

Sometimes people come through saying they called in an order

[jade lantern]

That's why I didn't pay for it

[wise pumice]

like one of the bigger burgers and fries or a couple of medium sized burgers usually fill me up anyways so if id spend more money id be wasting it

[deft void]

I've payed 35 for 3 people but that's all

[granite tinsel]

if i'm paying over $10 for mcdonald's i'm not getting mcdonald's

[wise pumice]

if im paying over 10 im treating myself to something better lol

[jade lantern]

Most of the meals are like 9 90 or 9:04

[deft void]

I only get a fish o filet,fries,nuggets and a coke

[wise pumice]

cole👨‍🚒

[jade lantern]

The fish sit in those things for so long

[deft void]

Shush

[jade lantern]

And so did the spicy McChickens

[granite tinsel]

i run even leaner; if mcdonald's is my only practical choice, i'll get just a cheeseburger — i have my own water bottle and i need to cut down on my sugar intake anyway

[deft void]

McDonald's burgers are ass imo

Always dry and not even stacked right

[jade lantern]

I have never eaten a burger from McDonald's

And I've worked there for over 2 years

[wise pumice]

tbf usually i just get 2-3 £2 wraps of the day each is 500cal so it fills me up for cheap

[jade lantern]

I only eat the nuggets and other stuff

[deft void]

I ate one cause it was free and never again

[jade lantern]

My brother eats spicy McChickens with no lettuce and then like 30 pumps of mustard

So it's like a half inch layer of mustard

[deft void]

Nuggets with the honey sauce

[jade lantern]

I do the honey mustard

[deft void]

Never had that

[wise pumice]

i dont think ive ever paired any fast food with mustard apart from hotdogs

[deft void]

I've never had mustard

[wise pumice]

lol

no

[jade lantern]

The chat always dies whenever you're trying to move to a new channel

Dang it. I can't lower my desk now because I put everything unplugged

I can't get back to that big spot with everything plugged in

[deep solstice]

Those movable desks are very fun. I am jelly

[wise pumice]

lol i need a new desk i was looking at the ikea countertop + 2 drawers method but the countertops arent wide enough

[jade lantern]

I sat online and put it all the way to the very top

On mine

[wise pumice]

and looked at random sites for countertops and they are like 400+ for me size

[jade lantern]

My dad's teals a ton of stuff from work

Please tell Tom how manage to steal a whole standing desk

Wtf is voice typing doing

[wise pumice]

tom

[jade lantern]

He somehow managed to steal a whole standing desk

This one is 75 in Long and like 90 pounds

[deep solstice]

I am happy with my desk, honestly. Not super wide but it fits my pedals just fine

[jade lantern]

As I have all of this, I'm another extension cord to that back outlet

[wise pumice]

ive got a L shaped one id really want a U shaped one but i cant find any big ones

or when i do its like £2000

[grim belfry]

Why the ancient surge protector lmao

[jade lantern]

Because we have so many

And it helps it not fall off the fridge

[grim belfry]

Fair

[jade lantern]

This is what I mean by I have so many powerful things plugged in

Fridge three monitors computer 3D printer lava lamp three lights

All of those take a ton of power

Oh and then two big fans my projector, tons of chargers and then another power strip that goes over to my bed for my 100 phone charger

[grim belfry]

Keep in mind it won’t actually do “surge protecting” anymore

[jade lantern]

For some reason I have it all plugged into the one corner

I did have all of this on a UPS before but it got overloaded at 900 w

Now I just have my servers plugged into that

Oh also I'm in the basement and this room likes to flood a lot

So I can't just have them laying on the ground

YOOO I FOUND THEM

The golden nugget

There is only one per huge box in all the employees stole all of them at our store

The golden one sells for 20-30$ online

Could trade that out for more LTT cable management stuff

[grizzled oriole]

what happens if you ping linus

[long briar]

second, no you can't

[grizzled oriole]

oh

Thats dissapointing

[long briar]

it really isn't

[grizzled oriole]

even plouffe not,

it is cause i just pinged zach and he responded!

[long briar]

Staff being "online" just means they're on their desktop and logged into discord

but their job isn't to monitor discord

[grizzled oriole]

But am i getting banned if i ping plouffe?

[grim belfry]

[grizzled oriole]

Oh i see

ok bye

[harsh quartz]

I think it always shows all the staff as online

[long briar]

it depends if any computer is on and active with their account logged in

[jade lantern]

Desk fixed

I don't know if that power strip is better or worse than the last one

I tested kicking it now though and it doesn't spark and turn off

[polar fern]

S… spark?!

I may not be one to talk with my wild tangle of various cables, but I would definitely not use one of those orange splitters

Of course, most of my cable tangle is USB and audio. The power setup is fairly tame.

So your pc isn’t plugged into the surge protector

And your splitting the outlet before putting it in a surge protector?

[strange elk]

Yes

[harsh quartz]

…

Just… why

[strange elk]

Because my AC and my monitor are in the surge strip

[harsh quartz]

So why not a second strip?

[strange elk]

Could do that I guess, I'd need another strip, more loose cables than I have

[harsh quartz]

I could also recommend a APU but that would be dumb :p

[strange elk]

I have one

You mean a UPS?

I have that too, but its battery or something internal is bad, hopefully just that

[harsh quartz]

..yes. What am I thinking of?

[strange elk]

You said APU

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, idk why

Oh, auxiliary power unit. Oops

[strange elk]

Lol

TVs just suck now.

[harsh quartz]

The one dude uses an OLED tv as his monitor

But I’d rather have a monitor at the size I play at

[strange elk]

There aren't many made that aren't bogged down by shit software that wants to connect to the internet or whatever anymore

And lower refresh rates generally

I played on a TV when I was on console but bout it. Which to be fair was most of the time still I think

Small space means funny arms you can move around

Far as I'm concerned now

Makes sense though

I emulate most of my consoles. Newer consoles haven't been the most.. "Faithful" these days for lack of a better word

Aside from Nintendo, but they're easy.

for the most part nowadays if your PC is decent

Yeah

I'm ok with that compromise, the tech will likely catch up

IPS 1440p 144hz is really nice

Me neither

Just feels way smoother

[clever cairn]

I’ve just installed a secondary nvme into my system. Just using it for storage not for boot. Do I need to format it or anything? Please let me know

[strange elk]

Maybe the first time if it doesnt just show up in windows

Which you should be able to do in windows so get there first

[clever cairn]

Ah yes. It doesn’t show up in Windows but does in bios

[strange elk]

Ok yeah probably

[clever cairn]

MBR or GPT

[strange elk]

not me saying Windows instead of "your OS"

GPT

[clever cairn]

Still can’t see it. Do I need to restart? It says unallocated

[strange elk]

Need to add an NTFS partition to that

might need to reboot after but should just show

[clever cairn]

"New Simple Volume"?

[strange elk]

Yes

[clever cairn]

Tyty, might take a minute but I think it's all good now

[zinc brook]

guys

[empty iris]

Yes, a whole jet turbine powered APU out of a 737-600 is necessary to supply a PC

[obtuse comet]

Boeing

sorry, buddy, we're getting a McDonnell Douglas APU from an F/A-18C

[empty iris]

I don't know anything about planes lol

[obtuse comet]

Know that Boeing ruins everything they touch

[empty iris]

Oh I know that much

[obtuse comet]

Like McDonnell Douglas

[empty iris]

and that their cockpit doors like to fall off mid-flight

[rustic tundra]

will i get bullied for having a intel cpu

[graceful burrow]

Depends

[karmic wedge]

What model?

[rustic tundra]

14700k

[karmic wedge]

uh oh

[rustic tundra]

i fixed the voltages so mine is fine

[karmic wedge]

user who made an unfortunate purchasing decision, everyone laugh at him

nah it's fine

[rustic tundra]

peak of 1.49v so its safe from degradation

[manic torrent]

no, mcdonnel douglas ruin everything they touch, and they touched boeing

[karmic wedge]

how and why intel thinks turning their shxt up to 11 just to be competitive is just ridiculous

[manic torrent]

oled latency is very good in any case

[rustic tundra]

my pc is a competitive 4k rig

[ionic abyss]

is a atrix mechanical backlit keyboard any good

[rustic tundra]

i can play at highest in cs2 with native 4k and still get competitive fps

[karmic wedge]

sounds like a #peripherals question
and that doesn't tell us very much, you can have a keyboard make and model but with different version with different key switches

[ionic abyss]

lol i just saw a game stop listing for a wired mouse and backlit mechanichal keyboard set for $14

[karmic wedge]

"the finest clicky blue switches"

[ionic abyss]

i doubt the set is high qua\lity

[karmic wedge]

yeah no thanks

[prime solstice]

I like the keyboard I have which is an 8bitdo one

[ionic abyss]

8bitdo makes some nice stuff

[prime solstice]

Yeah

[karmic wedge]

Shame on me, I own a Mecha-Membrane keyboard

But I genuinely prefer the feel of it over mechanical

[prime solstice]

I have a bunch of those but I like the sounds of mechanical ones

[karmic wedge]

I've got the Ornata Chroma

[manic torrent]

whatever works for you

[ionic abyss]

i am looking at a mx master 3s mouse

[manic torrent]

the shameful bit is razer, not the type of switch

[manic torrent]

They are excellent. I'm literally using an mxm3 right now.

[tawdry pecan]

This is the stupidest thing in the world... I love it

[ionic abyss]

wonder if some one could design a mouse with a swappable switch and sensor setup

[karmic wedge]

It's fine, but the volume control on the keyboard just doesn't work whatsoever, only useful as a mute button

[manic torrent]

razer product falling apart? Never!

[ionic abyss]

have the sensor and switches in modules than plug/snap in

[karmic wedge]

yeah shxt can you imagine that

[ionic abyss]

razor products are ok provided they dont have a cord

[karmic wedge]

Oh, it might acutally be the Ornata Chroma v2, all the other pictures didn't have the volume rocker

[ionic abyss]

the corded razor mice i had the cord always got messed up

[manic torrent]

no, they are never ok

do not buy razer products

[ionic abyss]

i have the old razor mouse

[karmic wedge]

that volume rocker on the top right just doesn't work whatsoever, it's hopeless

[prime solstice]

Go for a wireless mouse then

[ionic abyss]

boomslang or something like that

[karmic wedge]

But the keypress feel is good though

[ionic abyss]

it has a ball in it

[prime solstice]

My other keyboards numpad and volume rocker and be removed

[ionic abyss]

yes it was boomslang

[karmic wedge]

They also faulted?

[prime solstice]

Nope

I just never use it so it’s like brand new

[ionic abyss]

gaming mice have come a long way since the boomslang mouse

but then it was released in 1999 or 2000

[prime solstice]

Get a wireless mouse

[ionic abyss]

i use a razor basilisk

hyperspeed wireless

hmmmmm

i like the razor basilisk mouse design

its one of the few ergonmic gaming mouses

no clue what this claw grip bs is

well anything beats the apple magic mouse

the only mouse i know of that has to play dead to charge

[manic torrent]

here's me using a powerplay mat like a crazy person who doesn't ever have to plug in or mount his wireless mouse

[ionic abyss]

i say we make you use a magic mouse with a defective battery that dies every 10 minutes

[pliant karma]

@grim belfry You like spicy pillow

[ionic abyss]

hmm so my old power bank that got fat isnt good now

good to know

[obtuse comet]

Incorrect?

You take it back right now.

Insult the makers of the Skyhawk, Phantom, Eagle, Hornet, and KC-10 at your peril.

[ionic abyss]

hmm the kc10 is a trijet

[obtuse comet]

KC10 is imperfect but it's also a sick tanker

[ionic abyss]

just a rebadged dc10

[long briar]

Training Toy, decent, good, winged dart, your great grandfather's choice

[obtuse comet]

Hornet
winged dart

tell me you know nothing without telling me

also no, my grandfather flew 747s for pan am

or was it 742s

[long briar]

You can't ignore DC10 if you wanna ride their dick

[obtuse comet]

the DC10 was based idk what you mean

Looks like a Dell battery

[long briar]

More like razer, tbh

[pliant karma]

Hp actually

[long briar]

though I have more hp bloats than any other

[grim belfry]

Kek

[long briar]

Dell I think is actually pretty good in terms of puffing batteries

[pliant karma]

I have to check the elitebook 840 g3s before I send them off for spicy batteries

[grim belfry]

Except for that time where they had to recall the XPS line

[pliant karma]

Those suckers have sat dormant for a long time

[long briar]

Schiit happens to everyone

[grim belfry]

To be fair, those are really old laptops
A spicy pillow or two would be expected

[long briar]

it also pretty minor all things considered

just XPS 15

[grim belfry]

Some more than others (Razer)

[pliant karma]

Got fuel for fireworks

[long briar]

I swear razer does it on purpose

same as hp

[grim belfry]

I wouldn’t be surprised

[long briar]

two friends had laptops 4 years apart, both had the same battery and both were puffier than a squish mellow

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/bite-finger-mini-pufts-ghostbusters-afterlife-mischievous-savage-gif-21070460

Spicy squishy

[long briar]

I have two third party camera batteries and they're both slightly puffy now

[pliant karma]

Oh so I found out why I lost access to the company fedex account. They forgot to pay the bill . Like they forgot about the ISP bill and other ones. And me

[long briar]

Gotta love mismanagement

Still short 1k for the bill i sent them after the few months I was doing contract work with them

[ionic abyss]

ok snowjoe is odd

i see a refurb electric mower for $129 total or 6 payments of $44

am i wrong or is the payment plan almost double the price

[radiant salmon]

Makes sense

[long briar]

this makes complete sense

[ionic abyss]

if i had the cash id get their top of the line 100v cordless push mower

im sure it could handle anything you throw at it

[long briar]

This is why you don't buy things you can't afford

it'll always bite you in the ass

Sometimes it's more apparent than others

[blazing beacon]

every time im turning around youtubers are making videos about how ad blocker all day and how collecting data is bad people think the internet is free or something these people dont realize if sites didnt have ads u would have to pay for EVERY search and every website how else would they make money if people think 10 streaming services are bad just till u gotta sub to 200 sites and a web browser and search engine like its beyond stupid people dont use their heads this is honestly why i cant tolerate the "adblockers only" crowd like wtf

[ionic abyss]

not sure how long a 16AH 100v battery will last in a mower

[blazing beacon]

i bought a phone on amazon and did the maths didnt cost me any more doing a pay in 5

[radiant salmon]

I'm still a fan of gas mowers, batteries are $$$

[ionic abyss]

so the 16AH battery only costs $600 for a extra one

[long briar]

they also have a much longer runtime

I could get through and entire field on a single tank

[radiant salmon]

Thats my main problem, I would need atleast 2 batteries for every residential electric mower I've seen

[ionic abyss]

so i have to factor in the $650 for the mower then a extra battery at 600

gas mowers are expensive

[long briar]

I have a one pull start gas mower for home and I would never trade it for anything different

[radiant salmon]

Far cheaper than electric

[ionic abyss]

actualy entery lvl electrics are cheaper for a push mower

[manic torrent]

That's certainly a take

[ionic abyss]

you can get a low end electric that uses batteries for $100-130

gas is $200 -250

[blazing beacon]

websites need to make money if its not from ads u will have to pay and ad block bros dont wanna pay as well

[radiant salmon]

Keyword entry, nowhere near what I would ever need

A $300 gas mower and ~$1 everytime I mow my yard is fine for me

[ionic abyss]

i have a riding mower for the main yard

[blazing beacon]

ive seen it people expect everything handed for free no ads no payment

[ionic abyss]

the push mower is trim work

[graceful burrow]

Why don't I get paid for my information they're selling

[ionic abyss]

still nice to have one

[radiant salmon]

Sadly my yard can't get a gas mower, when we used to hire a company they had to do it all with a push mower

Ride on* I can't type rn lol

[vapid smelt]

so we are all buying that new fancy r7 9700x right?!

[blazing beacon]

ive seen people complain about microsoft weather ads that app has like 1 banner ad on the website and ive seen none on the mobile app they also give me lightning tracking FOR FREE unlike weather app and acuweather like ffs

[ionic abyss]

im tempted to drop the cash for a robit mower

[radiant salmon]

My problem is my yard is just a big steep hill

[blazing beacon]

that info is only valuable to sell ads and i think u overestimate its value also u are paid by letting u use the service

[ionic abyss]

they make a robot mower than is rated to handle upto 45% inclines

[long briar]

ads isn't the issue, it's that ads are used to track every single thing you do, every single thing you search, everything single thing about you.

[ionic abyss]

wich is more than what im rated for

[radiant salmon]

What yard size is it rated for and what's the $$$$

[blazing beacon]

people get mad at ANY ADS

[long briar]

all ads track you.

[manic torrent]

Look, you're not entirely wrong, but you seem to be taking it to an extreme

[blazing beacon]

so what thats the trade off for using the service

[long briar]

how about no?

They can show non intrusive ads

[radiant salmon]

If I could use a ride on mower I 100% would, I use a zero-turn at work and it's amazing lol

[long briar]

Those are usually greenlit by adblockers

[blazing beacon]

because thats how these people act its annoying when uninformed people act so entitled thinking they should get everything for free or for 1 dollar not to mention the VISA FEES so that one dollar is even less

[long briar]

And people don't notice them because THEY'RE NON INTRUSIVE

[manic torrent]

I pay for YouTube premium. I pay for LTT floatplane, I pay for lots of shit.

[ionic abyss]

now if you need a big area kobota maes some nice high end robot mowers that can handle several 100 acres

[manic torrent]

"these people" see this is the problem

[blazing beacon]

those pay very poorly because guess what advertisers want it to be intrusive

[ionic abyss]

but those are more or less a robotic riding mower

[radiant salmon]

I stopped paying for premium, I still don't get ads on anything even without an ad blocker

[graceful burrow]

Anytime your argument resorts to "these people" it's basically worthless

[long briar]

I'd be happy to pay for a service if that meant the service would stop tracking me. They don't and they won't. I'll pay them and they'll still track me. Who ends up winning?

[graceful burrow]

Just say you feel superior

[blazing beacon]

people who think ad blockers and piracy are moral the "if u dont own it u cant steal it" crowd

[ionic abyss]

the one i looked at just to see what it was had like a 20gallon fuel tank on it with options for larger ones

[graceful burrow]

Like we all know now
Just say you think you're a better person than them kek

[deep solstice]

I pay for Floatplane but I refuse to pay for Premium because Google can piss off. They make enough off my data lol

[long briar]

exactly

[radiant salmon]

Oh damn

[blazing beacon]

i feel people are entitled and selfish and have no concept of what things cost

[manic torrent]

Are they in the room with us now?

[graceful burrow]

I feel like your worldview is twisted but from what I'm not sure

[manic torrent]

Ah yes, vague generalisations

[graceful burrow]

Easier to formulate an argument with than giving actual points

[blazing beacon]

im going to tell u right now that data is worth like 2 bucks at most lol

[long briar]

if I pay for Google one (which I do, 2tb with Gemini), I should have the option to choose what data I give them.

[graceful burrow]

It's worth less

[blazing beacon]

what for understanding how stuff works and that everything cant be free?

[long briar]

it's worth whatever the buyer wants from you.

[graceful burrow]

It's worth cents
The actual monetary value is irrelevant

[ionic abyss]

umm i miss read tractor supplys website clearly

[long briar]

My profile is probably worth half a cent

[manic torrent]

Things can actually be free.

[blazing beacon]

they have a right to charge what they want as the buyer u have a right to not consume but u cant have it both ways

[graceful burrow]

Wanna bet

[blazing beacon]

rarely

[long briar]

but to someone who wants to stalk me, it may be worth hundreds.

[graceful burrow]

I've been having it both ways for years

I haven't paid for a movie in so long lmao

[blazing beacon]

and everything that is free is just being footed by someone else

[ionic abyss]

the Litheli U20 Lawn Mower With 4.0Ah Battery costs $130 but just the mower costs $220

[manic torrent]

See, you fundamentally misunderstand ... Everything

[manic torrent]

Oooh boy.

[long briar]

And that's the problem, you're out here defending big corporation who don't care who you are.

[blazing beacon]

and if everyone did that what movies would be around

[manic torrent]

Lick that boot harder baby

[ionic abyss]

exactly how does buying the battery give me $90 back

[graceful burrow]

Probably better ones than the schlock they put out now lmao

[manic torrent]

We would never have art again!

[graceful burrow]

Hollywood could die for all I care

[blazing beacon]

yes because theft is wrong i dont care if they are worth 10 dollars or 10 trillion if i dont like something i just dont buy it

[graceful burrow]

Nothing worth watching is coming out of that shit hole

[manic torrent]

I see you don't understand what theft is

[blazing beacon]

i also dont steal it though

[graceful burrow]

Stealing implies they don't have it anymore

[manic torrent]

Theft deprives someone of their property

[blazing beacon]

taking something someone else made and the problem is when its an ongoing cost such as servers

[manic torrent]

Nope

[blazing beacon]

watching youtube ad blocked does that btw

[long briar]

I use my money as a stamp of approval. I will spend hundreds on a single piece of art if that art to me is special.

[graceful burrow]

Holy shit I needed a good laugh

[blazing beacon]

it does do u think bandwith and servers are free?

[graceful burrow]

Thank you I do genuinely appreciate it

[long briar]

taking my data is nothing I'm proud of, why would I give money to someone who already profits off of my profile?

[manic torrent]

The irony is that who made it is actually irrelevant

You fundamentally don't understand capitalism, law, ownership, wow.

[blazing beacon]

i do much more then u

[long briar]

uh oh.

[manic torrent]

Oh honey you can't even use the right then/than

[ionic abyss]

https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/litheli-u20-lawn-mower-with-40ah-battery or https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/litheli-u20-cordless-lawn-mower-20v-13-in

[long briar]

BAHAHAHA

[graceful burrow]

Literally laughed out by the entire chat oofsters bud

[ionic abyss]

so id pay them $90 to not put orange paint on a push mower
?

[long briar]

You also pay 5k less to buy a car that's white and not red

[ionic abyss]

same model same specs

[blazing beacon]

i work with servers so i know aspects of it again its not cheap

[radiant salmon]

I'd die of exhaustion before my yard is mowed

[graceful burrow]

Hey Bob what do you do

[ionic abyss]

those weigh nothing

[long briar]

Buddy I've been working with "servers" for 11 years I still don't know jackschiit

[ionic abyss]

13" is a perfect trim mower size

[radiant salmon]

Nah just front the heat and it taking 2 hours to mow my yard with a 13" cutting width and 20 minute runtime

[manic torrent]

I think it's some sort of "IT" "Infrastructure" "Security" kind of deal.

[ionic abyss]

still a mower that is smaller than ...............

[graceful burrow]

Oh
Sounds low priority this homie def knows more than you

You should take your leave from the convo they've been "working with servers"

[manic torrent]

shit I can't compete with that

[long briar]

pics or it didn't happen /s

[graceful burrow]

I've got a headache I'm laughing so hard

[long briar]

Aye lives up to the pfp

[graceful burrow]

Why do you think I have it

[long briar]

the guy got veins in his head from laughing too hard

[radiant salmon]

Unfortunately mower cuts the bulk and a weed eater trims for me

[manic torrent]

"working with servers" apparently implies knowledge of economics and capitalism and law.

[long briar]

I've taken econ courses in university! (they are actual jokes)

[graceful burrow]

Yeah it's all encompassing

[harsh quartz]

Came here to talk about the Thor video and I see it’s much worse.

[wispy marsh]

[blazing beacon]

how do u find it right to treat everything as a tip does someone have the right to idk not pay for float plane while also still consuming all of its content and using its servers? if its not right to do to a small company its not any better to do to google or MS thats dumb i dont like disney the last time i watched a disney thing was like 5 years ago i dont go and still watch it

[wispy marsh]

Thor video?

[radiant salmon]

One stupid argument and 1 convo about mowers, what's so bad about that

[harsh quartz]

Pirate software did stop killing games 2: electric boogaloo

[blazing beacon]

economics also say u cant run these things for free

[graceful burrow]

One punctuation character for all those words makes a paragraph not very fun to read fwiw

[manic torrent]

economics absolutely does say that. However it doesn't say that you can't PROVIDE things free.

[wispy marsh]

I'm not getting the context

[long briar]

Wait no that's not right

[harsh quartz]

Pirate software made a video the other day about his opinions on the stop killing games movement. We had some discussions in this chat about it and Thor got some backlash. He just made another video trying to clarify his points further. I was just curious if anyone was talking about that again :p

[manic torrent]

have you ever done anything for anyone or given anyone anything for no money?

[blazing beacon]

yes ads work as payment for "free" services the advertisers are paying for u if u cut that out then u gotta pay but people also dont like that "google is bad im not going to pay them but ill happily keep consuming google products" this isnt boycotting

[manic torrent]

oh no, I'm not even talking about that, I'm saying providing a service FREE

[long briar]

you're telling me you think Google doesn't make money on people who use adblocks?

[blazing beacon]

if a website has 100k visits from people and all of them use AdBlock what do u think happens

[graceful burrow]

Oh no the multi billion multinational company is losing checks notes a few cents a year on me!

[manic torrent]

the world saves a lot of ad bandwidth

[wispy marsh]

That's interesting, thought i never really paid any attention to Thor besides the video with hggg

[manic torrent]

You are fundamentally not understanding the point

[wispy marsh]

The more you save, the more you save

[blazing beacon]

not really no those also block trackers and again data is worth less then ads data is only useful because its used to sell ads on its own its not worth anything

[long briar]

I... had a stroke reading this

[wispy marsh]

Also kanon, i'm kinda nauseous this morning and your lack of punctuation made it worse.

[harsh quartz]

He gives, in my opinion, an interesting point of view of the stop killing games initiative, as he’s worked on MMOs for a while. I don’t 100% agree with what’s been said but I like to hear both sides :p

[long briar]

ad blockers block trackers again data is worth less than ad data what???

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that ultra leak of 2.9 million or billion people's info going on the dark web isn't worth 1.35 million or nothin

[blazing beacon]

video streaming servers and bandwidth are massively expensive also paying staff if u dont pay with your money and u dont watch ads u are nothing more then a leech on the service a parasite who offers nothing and only takes

[manic torrent]

it's a quite violent stream-of-conciousness. Imagine being that guy.

[harsh quartz]

What are you telling us for?

[blazing beacon]

each persons data is not worth much its scale

[wispy marsh]

I as Jagex wouldn't like to opensource the server of Runescape two and Runescape too

[manic torrent]

here we're getting to the core of the issue. What you're saying is that poor people are useless to the world and should be made into paste

[blazing beacon]

wanna get blocked?

[manic torrent]

oh no!

[long briar]

🤣😭

[graceful burrow]

They have to make us feel bad for the billion dollar companies

[long briar]

You think of all companies, Google needs you?

[wispy marsh]

No, but I have a suitable channel for your interesting debate topics

[blazing beacon]

ads have nothing to do with if your poor or not though and actually enable people who are lower income to consume it

[wispy marsh]

Have you heard about Dimskii?

[graceful burrow]

[harsh quartz]

I pay for premium cause I like supporting creators, but after the price raise this year I likely will turn on an adblocker, cancel premium, and support through nebula or something

[graceful burrow]

Oh my god

[manic torrent]

so basically, ads are like a GIFT to poor people!

[harsh quartz]

That’s a name I ain’t seen in a hot minute

[graceful burrow]

Two certified yappers goin at it
What a sight to behold

[graceful burrow]

Pretty sure he got banned

[long briar]

didn't he get banned?

[manic torrent]

correct

[long briar]

yo lowkey I should've been banned but here I am

[blazing beacon]

no but the grammar stuff is highly annoying and if people are going to act like discord chats are in need of being proper I'm not going to bother debating that

[graceful burrow]

Bro your stuff is word soup

[manic torrent]

I see you don't understand how communication works either.

[long briar]

barely soup

[graceful burrow]

I already got a headache from laughing, trying to parse your messages sucks

Makes my headaches work

[blazing beacon]

indeed again i grew up poor if i had to pay for everything ads provided i wouldnt have had things like youtube

[harsh quartz]

What can I say except ||good||

[long briar]

you either keep each message as a single sentence, or you use punctuation

[graceful burrow]

Too hard

[manic torrent]

oh god, there's the rub. nek minnit, on about bootstraps.

[long briar]

you don't mash a paragraph together and say "it's fine it's discord"

[harsh quartz]

Ads 10 years ago vs ad supported now is 2 entirely fuckin different things is the problem

[blazing beacon]

anyone who brings up punctuation after this will just be blocked i wont even say anything i just will so

[long briar]

for all we know this person is 15 and "growing up" was 2 years ago

[manic torrent]

roffle

[blazing beacon]

do u think 1080p is cheaper then what it use to be

[harsh quartz]

Guys we can all do something really funny right now

[long briar]

guys I think I found my next mistake

[blazing beacon]

im 24

[harsh quartz]

What the fuck is the relevance of this

[manic torrent]

unironically, literally, yes.

[long briar]

I mean, yes?

[manic torrent]

I got a blank space baby

[long briar]

Is storage cheaper than it used to be? Yes. Are computers and cameras? Yes. Is storage efficiency better now? Yes. Is internet cheaper? Yes. Are monitors cheaper? Absolutely.

[blazing beacon]

i mean back then things were not 1080p again though nothing could be made if no one paid ad blocking is not sustainable if everyone does it

[long briar]

I've never actually played a headless bass and first thing I realized was how light it was... and now I want it

[manic torrent]

back 'then' when? what?

[blazing beacon]

files have also grown in size massively

[harsh quartz]

What the fuck is your point now. Your completely off the rails

[long briar]

1080p in 2004 and 1080p in 2024? No not really...

We have h265 codecs now, Av1 even.

things get more efficient over time

we can do more in a single line of code now than we could before

[manic torrent]

strictly AV1 isn't quite as efficient as h265, but ... we're splitting hairs

[long briar]

you get slightly better quality... or at least in photos anyway

[wispy marsh]

Is AV1 better quality for streaming?

[manic torrent]

av1 is not patent encumbered.

[wispy marsh]

Ah!

[blazing beacon]

pay for content u use or don't use it is simple as that paying also means ads or premium if u pay for premium and then don't want trackers whatever block them but at least pay something if u don't like the deal then don't use it don't like google don't use googles stuff idk what to tell ya also doing this rather then supporting competitors doesn't help anyone

[long briar]

it's also wildly inefficient actually because nobody has hardware encoders and only recent stuff have Av1 decodeds

[manic torrent]

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

[manic torrent]

.... that's completely wrong

[wispy marsh]

HEVC and HEIF is really good... but I think I have to license it even for personal use

[manic torrent]

HEVC == h265

[wispy marsh]

Apple's fooled me again!

[blazing beacon]

and that has to do with what?

[long briar]

wait I was talking about how long it takes to encode a single photo in avif vs jpeg or png

[manic torrent]

honestly I have no idea about static image encoding, but AV1 video encoding hardware is on all modern platforms, and AV1 decoding is on far more

[manic torrent]

word soup

[long briar]

Yea I'm not too familiar with video actually

[manic torrent]

Kanon is it possible you are having a stroke?

[blazing beacon]

then your a parasite to the things that makes things also cost more for paying customers as they subsidize u reminds me of those people who buy vbucks from Argentina for cheap and inadvertently killed off cheaper pricing for the poor people but hey u got it for cheap/free right thats all that matters right?

[harsh quartz]

The curse of the burnt toast

[long briar]

But avif takes a couple seconds to encode and it'd benefit mobile much more than desktop

[harsh quartz]

I pay for premium 🙂

[long briar]

And for mobile, like two socs support it - Tensor G3 and Apple whatever they're on rn

[graceful burrow]

Holy shit it writes itself

[blazing beacon]

so do i but thats not the 99% of people who do that so

[wispy marsh]

I have youtube family premium

[harsh quartz]

And that’s your problem cause why?

[graceful burrow]

Their favorite megacorporation is losing profit!!!

[blazing beacon]

it makes things cost more

[manic torrent]

and it comes out of YOUR pocket!

[harsh quartz]

Oh no, those poor Argentinians that can’t buy…. Vbucks??

[blazing beacon]

yea it does as price hikes and price gouging happens

[long briar]

of all things you're concerned about....vbucks?

[manic torrent]

I am going to say something shocking

.... we live in a society

[blazing beacon]

so they are not allowed to have proper pricing because some american doesnt wanna pay 10 bucks for them?

[harsh quartz]

I promise you price gouging ain’t cause of adblockers

[blazing beacon]

it 100% plays a part

[long briar]

my man... all due respect but... actually nvm it was hilarious

[harsh quartz]

Why did bread and eggs double in price this year? Someone adblocker Walmarts website

[manic torrent]

facts

[blazing beacon]

fuel prices also that tends to make power cost more and servers run on power too so yea

[long briar]

Why do people pay nearly double msrp for cars?

[manic torrent]

and as we all know, poor people don't deserve anything

[harsh quartz]

Why is fuel expensive? The Middle East got ad blocked by the us

[wispy marsh]

It's expensive to be poor

[long briar]

wait guys I think he's got a point

China got adblocked by USA and everyone got cucked

[blazing beacon]

because dealerships [worthless middlemen] and laws that have made it hard for cheaper cars from other countries to compete

[harsh quartz]

No he’s decided he won’t use points. Also they’re called periods usually

[blazing beacon]

world problem

[long briar]

My bad

[manic torrent]

My friend, are you familiar with the chicken tax?

It's ok, I know you're not.

but feel free to look it up

[wispy marsh]

What's chicken tax?

Is it an australian thing

[manic torrent]

chicken tax is why american trucks.

[blazing beacon]

yes it 100% is and ads can offset costs making it viable for them for example
stadiums have ads if they didnt u would be paying FAR MORE for a ticket
i dont watch sports myself but its a real thing ads do make things cheaper

[blazing beacon]

im a she

[graceful burrow]

@blazing beacon you ever step on a bug?

[manic torrent]

oh dude. You did not go there. The amount of pure theft and rort going on in the stadium/ticketing industry

[ancient frigate]

Well, my BTC, BCH, and LTC is up, but my ETH is down.

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[blazing beacon]

yes its bad but it could be worse stadiums are not cheap to build or run also alot of that comes from ticketmaster aka useless middleman

[long briar]

.bruh

[manic torrent]

no, they are not cheap, but you know who pays? cities.

[blazing beacon]

what?

[radiant salmon]

Everything is down, welcome to August

[graceful burrow]

I mean it's a pretty straight forward question

[blazing beacon]

governments/ads and other things can do it also again the internet couldnt be "free" without them

[manic torrent]

you have no idea

[long briar]

wait have you seen the movie idiocracy

[ancient frigate]

Someone pump up my Ethereum.

I'm having severe callbacks to it rn

[manic torrent]

water? like from the toilet!

[long briar]

Imagine if the government offset costs by saying "by Carl's jr."

[blazing beacon]

whats the hard part about just dealing with ads or paying or idk just not using the service if u dont see the value

[ancient frigate]

Help! I started going to the gym and bought crypto! What’s happening?

[wispy marsh]

Quite close to a F-1 Trillion

[blazing beacon]

the seller sets the price not the buyer if u dont think its worth it why consume it still if u dont see a value in a 5 dollar chip bag do u get the right to steal it because "those chips should be 2 dollars"

[long briar]

[wispy marsh]

Money goes round and more circulation prevents economies from collapsing

[blazing beacon]

im aware thats why spending money instead of hoarding it is actually great for the economy

[blazing beacon]

3rd post and its about crypto

[wispy marsh]

I still buy cheap makeup and dresses made in China

[blazing beacon]

if adobe is too expensive use gimp idk

[harsh quartz]

Tell that to the rich people hoarding it :p like 5nail

[blazing beacon]

same thing

[wispy marsh]

Gimp is my driver

[blazing beacon]

thats the thing they dont?

[long briar]

if adobe is too expensive, tell them to stop making it more expensive for no other reason other than greed

[manic torrent]

I thought the market sets the price?

[blazing beacon]

the seller has a right to charge what they want if its not your value u dont need to buy it

[manic torrent]

... could you be more wrong? I mean... probably, but it would be hard

[blazing beacon]

if the seller is wrong the company will have to come down

[long briar]

So you're okay with price gouging then

[wispy marsh]

Well, I had some help, but I don't got a guy for that and I gotta pour me a drink

[harsh quartz]

But you don’t understand. It’s a subscription based model. It HAS to go up because it’s a subscription. That’s how these things work obviously

[manic torrent]

and it doesn't matter if they have a monopoly or have deliberately fucked the market so you have no/few other options!

[blazing beacon]

yes because if it doesnt work they will fail with exceptions to things people NEED like houses cars and utilities and food and medical but not entertainment

[long briar]

you think adobe doesn't work?

[harsh quartz]

One thing even dictatorships usually get right is that morale needs to stay high :p

[manic torrent]

facts

[wispy marsh]

se

[blazing beacon]

just like u can complain about a 30-dollar game skin as "not worth the value" but well clearly other people did think its worth it

a things value is not universal

[harsh quartz]

Wouldn’t know, never watched it

[long briar]

how does that matter...

[manic torrent]

TLDR: no complaining about prices ever, because you can choose not to buy it!

[blazing beacon]

and still buy it

[blazing beacon]

feel free to complain just dont pirate it use something else complain all u want though

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, those necessities also haven’t been price gouged btw :p

[wispy marsh]

Listen here, little pikachu. I'm worried enough about the Dollar per USD going up, it's been a good ratio of 1:1 and i haven't lost money

[long briar]

what was the most pirated piece of software?

[wispy marsh]

Pichu*

[blazing beacon]

yes and its wrong i myself have also never paid for adobe and never will i myself dont see the value

[long briar]

erm acktually it's mimikyu

[blazing beacon]

but i have also never taken it

[wispy marsh]

[long briar]

Just answer the fucking question it's one word

[grim belfry]

Today I have the pleasure of contacting Tel$tra in attempt to reclaim a phone number because a client “forgot” to pay the bill and Tel$ra has disconnected their phone

[manic torrent]

Look, I think we have to own up to the fact that stealing software or media by copying it is BASICALLY murder.

[blazing beacon]

yes its adobe and its wrong even if i think they are a trash company

[grim belfry]

Child murder!

[long briar]

no it's not adobe, adobe is a company

it's photoshop

[blazing beacon]

i have never given adobe a cent

[wispy marsh]

No! Poor Kurt Cobain!

[long briar]

why do you think that is?

[manic torrent]

I assure you that you have
