[lusty rapids]

That's not that expensive

[lusty rapids]

Broo.. u should go for amd instead of Intel

[golden stream]

It's worth around 15k pkr plus 3k tax and that's around 50usd

[golden stream]

Only if I could...

[lusty rapids]

50 usd.. hmm
Looks like ur situation is tight here

Anyways, thank you for the info

[graceful burrow]

I'll say it
Ad free should be ad free

[pallid falcon]

Reloading the app fixed for me

[terse folio]

I got different ads

They testing the water

They probably introduced youtube premium ultimate or something next year

[grim belfry]

No no no you aren’t understanding smh

Ad free means your subscription comes with free ads

[shut void]

And then troubleshoot it every week because it blocks something it shouldn't have

i used to work for a company that did data analysis for sports clubs, and governing bodies for sports, and the leagues themselves for the biggest sports leagues in the world... it was standard for them to send us an SSD in the mail when they first signed up with us, with all their historical data on it, because it was quicker than sending it over the internet

we're talking 100s of GB of csv's, images, videos, excel files, word files, pdfs... that we had to make sense of, and import them into our system in the correct way

[pallid falcon]

https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/10377930088 :3

[fossil frost]

best thing was, it was never sent by any securer courier, never by anybody other than say, royal mail, or some generic courier... was always encrypted with truecrypt though, and usually the cheapest delivery method that got them a signature at our side 😄

would be closer to 1100mbps, but, my wife is watching netflix, my kids are watching youtube, and im watching sky sports 😄

read: vpn

[thin basin]

hi

[fossil frost]

thats not how VPNs work, you cant magically make your internet speed as fast as someone who pays for faster internet than you, with a vpn

[glass mural]

Marketing says otherwise

[grim belfry]

Depends why your internet is slow

There are some very edge case scenarios where a VPN could make your internet faster

[fossil frost]

as my statement says.. if someone pays for faster internet than you... a vpn isnt going to make your internet, which is limited as slower than theirs, by your isp, faster than them

if you have the SAME internet speed as someone else, a VPN CAN make your internet more efficient than someone elses, by reducing the number of hops, by improving the route taken, rather than relying on the routes supplied by your ISP

but generally, the difference would be quite negligable

[grim belfry]

But technically

[fossil frost]

it never changes the speed of your internet, it CAN change how well your computer uses your internet... but cant make your internet connection faster

[grim belfry]

“Internet speed” is very abstract

[fossil frost]

paying for 100mbps, and getting 80mbps, is an efficiency problem, rather than the "speed of my internet"

[grim belfry]

Not necessarily an efficiency problem

It depends

[harsh quartz]

Nord VPN increased my bandwidth to 69terafarts per lightsecond

[fossil frost]

either your internet provider has over subscribed your area, efficiency problem at the ISP, or you have bad routing, efficiency problem at the ISP or the endpoint. or somewhere inbetween

[small zodiac]

sup

[restive lion]

It can certainly make it slower

[grim belfry]

Oversubscription is not evil

[fossil frost]

no, its quite efficient... but over-oversubscribing, is inefficient and evil

[harsh quartz]

Oversubscription? Did you mean “Kaseya”?

[grim belfry]

Our sponsor, Pulseway!

Big K deserves all my money

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, it’s a shame Kmart closed most their stores

[polar fern]

Simmer

[pliant karma]

hey tom you ever work with patch panels while working brodcasted events/whatever you do?

[restive lion]

ya

im having some made in the winter

[grim belfry]

Kmart, you say?

[harsh quartz]

I said most

[grim belfry]

Kmart is alive and well here. We have 3 stores with less than 100k people in our local area

[pliant karma]

ah yea soo I found something I was not supposed to discover . The manual/diagram of triton makes when installing new equipment in the college's tv studio casually shows you how to hijack the signal going to the digital projector in the room next to the tv studio.

through patch panels, I'll tinker with that in the coming weeks lol

[restive lion]

lul

i used to do stuff like that all the time

now we've got every screen in the sdi router so theres no need

[pliant karma]

here is the kicker it is not labelled physically on the patch panels for reasons

[harsh quartz]

Kmart is deader than dead here

[restive lion]

just last week i had to go rack diving to figure out how to get a third camera working

[pliant karma]

lol

I hijacked the projector signal last semester on accident. The film prod 1 class next door was watching Shawshank Redemption when it suddenly cut to one of the PTZ cameras in the studio.

give or take that was 20 min of their time wasted by my mistake

[restive lion]

i used a debug hdmi output from the aja framesync and fed that directly into an hdmi input on the ross

[pallid falcon]

Did you ever admit 🤔

[pliant karma]

No, the whole remote broadcast class was doing studio cleanup/testing.

Now that I know I have ammunition to screw

[lilac bear]

[harsh quartz]

The emus got more than expected this year, huh?

Smh

[pallid falcon]

I got a emu in sar

[grim belfry]

Don't worry, apparently some like to eat what's on the coat of arms

[harsh quartz]

I’m surprised it’s only like 20$

[harsh quartz]

Idk what this means

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[glass mural]

It looks like a rock

[lilac bear]

you're a rock

[pure knoll]

very cheap

[pure knoll]

it just looks like a beef round

(with a bit more liver-ish color)

[harsh quartz]

Huh?

I think they were talking about the other picture

Also, wait, is emu a red meat? wtf

[pure knoll]

ohh

[pure knoll]

emu is mid, when i cooked mine it was far too chewy

emu = expensive beef

[harsh quartz]

It looks chewy from its color. But that’s fuckin wild to me that it’s a red meat

I just kinda assumed emu = bird, white meat

[pure knoll]

fuck

[harsh quartz]

Emus a mammal?

[pure knoll]

no sorry

i did not take bio

[harsh quartz]

They lay eggs tho

Okay, okay, damn I was losing my mind

[pure knoll]

all birds doo, mammals hatch from other places

live birth and vertebrae are their distinctive characteristics i believe

[harsh quartz]

Yes. Which is why I was so confused when you said it was a mammal

[pure knoll]

did not think

your coworkers cannot find a search bar, i cannot find the difference between a mammal and a bird 😭

[harsh quartz]

Also the exception to that is the platypus. Also mammals have breasts. Vertebrae isn’t considered I don’t think

[lilac bear]

oh yeah then explain what a chicken breast is

[harsh quartz]

The chicken breast is a lean cut of meat taken from the pectoral muscle on the underside of the chicken.

do you want it included in the product price instead

$40 product + $10 shipping
$50 product + 0 shipping WOWIE

[harsh quartz]

The difference here becomes how tax and sales/discounts become applied

[lilac bear]

like your poor ass keeps an eye out for "sales" obviously

[harsh quartz]

[lilac bear]

yeah reading is difficult

but it's easy for me

sometimes things are just affordable

[harsh quartz]

[vapid smelt]

$1600 for a 1tb iphone pro max is so cheap i should buy two

[harsh quartz]

400$ for 750gb is wild

[glass mural]

Getting the 13 inch M4 iPad Pro with 2 years of Apple care is the same price as a 7600X and 7800XT gaming PC roughly

[harsh quartz]

At least that has some value, 400$ for 750gb is such bad value

Working on my Christmas Light Show! Here is a preview in the Sequencer:

[vapid smelt]

its not even Halloween yet

[serene cloud]

You have to get started early if you want to have all the sequences ready for Christmastime (AKA Nov 1st).

It can take a bit to get all the sequencing done. 32 channels over a 5 minute song takes DAYS.

But it's FUN!

[slow grotto]

Gotta start early, takes a long time

[serene cloud]

Yup. Took me like 3 weeks to get a jazz-style version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen done. Stupid Syncopation.

Here's the video from a couple years ago (That's my actual house)
https://youtu.be/Gz819ZQZrHA?si=XRPZXYHHagcfl4t8

And that was only with 16 channels. I am doubling it this year! 🙂

[harsh quartz]

It’s Christmas time

[serene cloud]

From about 1:30 to 2:00 in that video is my absolute FAVORITE part. Took me like 2 days, but it was SO MUCH FUN.

I can't wait to get it done on my new 32 channel setup.

To be fair, it will be easier since I have the groundwork done with the 16 channels, all the timings and everything. I just have to move some notes around to fit the 32 channels.

Eh, I'm lazy. Ideally, people should use multiple sources whenever asking any questions.

[pure knoll]

300 bucks for a "usb filter" or a just a fucking ferrite bead which will do 99% of the advertised results:

the only thing its purifying is my wallet

[fast parrot]

i mean, it is a pretty decent source for some very niche questions

[pure knoll]

besides the ferrite bead looks so og

[pure knoll]

ikr

use it for 98.63% of my questions now lol

the rest are various forums

[fast parrot]

that is quite a specific percentage

[pure knoll]

really i will only take people's word/opinion these days rather than articles (depends from where) (trusted sources and scientific papers/websites i will still visit)

[pure knoll]

its a joke but its probably something close in the like the 60% range

[fast parrot]

fair lol

[pure knoll]

wikipedia is a large chunk as well

whenever i need information about something i always go there

accurate and reliable info most of the type

bullshit
"REclock Regenerate- re-clocks/regenerates/repeats the USB signal, eliminates USB jitter, frame and packet noise and restores USB signal integrity "

let me pull my military grade circuit
"Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) military-grade circuit which now has a wider operation band and reduces USB port audio band noise even further "

because the military probably doesnt use usb filters, they fight in wars

idk if i should give it a 0 or 10 jesus christ

[fossil dirge]

You should get it it's great

[fossil dirge]

I've seen the first Smile it was really scary but good

[elfin compass]

ik

i also experienced a damn mini earthquake meanwhile watching the finale of the movie i was TERRIFIED

[fossil dirge]

Yeah definitely scary

[elfin compass]

ive watched so many horror movies

this is the scariest one ive ever seen

[fossil dirge]

I'm not really that much into horror movies but I do watch them sometimes

[pallid falcon]

whats your fav

[elfin compass]

tbh its stranger things. its kinda in the middle of scary and not scary at all which is perfect to watch without being grossed out neither be really bored if you know what i mean

but like the most scariest horror movie ive watched to date gotta be smile

[harsh quartz]

Stranger things ain’t a movie

[pallid falcon]

thats a tv show

[elfin compass]

i know

[harsh quartz]

Also it’s overrated imo. I don’t even like horror stuff and that one was just kinda boring

[pallid falcon]

the demogorgons tho.. :3

[elfin compass]

yeah it isnt THAT scary like how some ppl are saying

[harsh quartz]

Honestly, watched the dark tower though last night, and I know it’s not a horror movie, but it had that sci-fi horror vibe, and I really enjoyed it

[elfin compass]

like the alien movie ?

is it basically the alien movie without the horror ?

[harsh quartz]

Kinda sorta, not as much of a straight horror. Similar to how bioshock is technically in the horror genre but not really

[elfin compass]

oh cool i might try it out

[high socket]

guys what that thing called at your power supply that protects your fans for dust and other stuff

gang help microsoft edge reinstalled itself 😭
when i was actually wanting to use it

Bruh it logged me out of everything too 😭

[bronze imp]

Is your computer having a seizure or something?

[twilit pewter]

i think i Actually need an new entire build on itself

[bronze imp]

Aha right

[twilit pewter]

this is on a new install of windows ☠️

[bronze imp]

I need to buy a case to make a server from my old parts

I got mostly everything but case and storage

[twilit pewter]

Nice

[bronze imp]

It would even be sitting on a nice 6 core CPU I didn't throw away

So yeah, pretty cool

Then replace my current build

[twilit pewter]

[bronze imp]

But what's wrong with your actual build to be so damned?

[twilit pewter]

idk 😭

i legit do not know

all i can think of is, bad ssd, bad microsoft, possibly bad bios options?

[bronze imp]

What about bad RAM?

[twilit pewter]

wait honestly lemme check windoes memory diag 😭

[long briar]

windows memory diagnostics sucks

[harsh quartz]

Wait what

[long briar]

memtest86 or y cruncher

testmem5 works too but you can't read the errors

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t this only test like the first 4gb or something?

[long briar]

I don't remember but it takes forever to run and doesn't really find errors

it can tell you if something is blatently wrong

it can't tell you if it's not stable

[bronze imp]

Yeah, what nexgen said

[twilit pewter]

downloading memtest

[bronze imp]

I would never use that program lol. I don't know how people are still suggesting it

who in their right mind :v

Also for the love of our mutual god, Linus Tech Tips, remove those ugly icons and only leave the damn trash bin. Make yourself a huge difference from mess to perfection

[twilit pewter]

had to go through the proccess of reinstalling every app

[twilit pewter]

D:

[harsh quartz]

My favorite thing about it is that you have to boot into windows to use it and then to read the diagnostic info. But if I’m testing my ram, it’s probably cause I’m having issues getting into windows :p

[twilit pewter]

but i need access to apps quick 😭

[bronze imp]

Fair

I just Win+<The app>

[twilit pewter]

☠️

ill give microsoft 1 last chance man 😭

if things start to break once again, im switching to linux mint

or try windows 10 atlas, and if that doesnt work. well linux mint

[hot tartan]

it is your phone

[primal nova]

is it just me or is asia pricing insanely higher than anywhere else
the ROG Ally X is supposed to be $800 max, but here in Malaysia, its over $900 ($976 to be exact)

[inland plover]

hi

[sudden gazelle]

if you don't need to, don't

[cerulean canopy]

US pricing is without tax btw

[gleaming peak]

Spit on that thang, hawk tuah 🗣️

[primal nova]

if its with tax, what would that be roughly?

[cerulean canopy]

Depends on state sales tax

[primal nova]

I've saved up enough to either buy the ally x new for $950 or go used with a steamdeck (256GB LCD) for $395

I would go for the steamdeck if I know Windows is at least 90% stable (valorant and GOG Galaxy reasons)

[fossil frost]

in general, i tell people that once you are in an eco system, unless you have reason to move out of that eco system, just stick with it, because nobody needs that hassle unless they have to do

[long briar]

^this is real

no shame in being in the Apple ecosystem

it's not like any other ecosystem is as unified...

(Google find my device network is so ass compared to Apple's it's not even funny)

[fossil frost]

thats about to change

[long briar]

I've been waiting for it to change for a year now

[fossil frost]

google have been sending me emails recently about their new system for all of that

[long briar]

oh nice

as soon as they start forcing devices to engage in the network

I'll start buying the trackers

because rn the trackers don't do anything

and Airtags are still by far the better choice

[fossil frost]

and, the basic version they offer now, i use frequently.. my kids walk home from school, and if they take too long, and ignore my call, i run find my phone on their phone 😄

[long briar]

that's diff

single device that can ping itself is fine

[velvet marsh]

I hate my airtag, all it ever says is "with you" and never lets me find it close by

[long briar]

it's the trackers and such that rely on other devices

[fossil frost]

my garmin watch and garmin headunit, are paired to my phone, and have crash detection, because i go mountain biking, or road biking, at night... and if i ever get into an accident... it automatically alerts my wife and the emergency services, unless i tell it not to do within 30 seconds

but i HAVE to have my phone with me for them to work

the new garmins connect directly into some sort of network that isnt the cellular network

[long briar]

yea that stuff can save your life

fortunately I don't go anywhere so it ends up being fine anyway

[fossil frost]

any time that im out on the bike and i phone my wife, she yells at me, "why are you calling me, i thought it was your bike calling me to tell me you have fell off"

i have to explain to her, every time.,.. thats not how it works

[pliant karma]

Lol at MicroCenter deepcool coolers still in stock so might as well grab one

[granite tinsel]

i switched last year after 10 years with android

also interesting way to wish financial ruin on me by wishing i lose a C$1800 phone

[granite tinsel]

you might be using CR2032 batteries with a bitter coating; airtags don't like those and will act like they're on low battery if you use them

[sage quiver]

Duracell updated theirs so they'd be compatible with the bitterant

[granite tinsel]

guess my household has the old ones

[sage quiver]

It happened sometime recently, after my last Airtag battery purchase lol

I went Energizer because of the issue

[granite tinsel]

that's what i did when i found the duracells weren't working LOL

[polar fern]

That reminds me. The fact that you can even buy something like a 1.2 V AA battery seems stupid and ridiculous.

[calm swan]

just wait for app devs to update their icons

[polar fern]

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/sep/15/data-center-gas-emissions-tech

[granite tinsel]

no even the correct ones look bad in that screenshot

[fossil frost]

yeah, everyone knows they are lying, but nobody does anything about it, because our lives are ran by big data centres now, and governments are bribed to look the other way

[polar fern]

I definitely didn’t call out “ai” emissions dozens upon dozens of times over the last year or so

[fossil frost]

"everything is powered by renewables"... its utter bullshit

[fossil frost]

literally everyone did... and crypto too... its all a massive energy drain

[polar fern]

The word renewable is bullshit to begin with

You don’t renew sunlight

[lean lake]

whats the best way to get an ethernet from one side of a house to the other, im willing to drill, however it is to go outside and idk where it would re-enter, i really need wifi upstairs and the crappy ee router doesnt reach, any wireless fixes would be appreciated too, cable aint my preferred choice icl

[polar fern]

And you definitely don’t renew wind

[fossil frost]

yay, childish internet pedantry... thats what will fix things...

[polar fern]

@lean lake just get an external direct bury rated cat 6 cable of the required length routed to the location and just drill a bunch of holes and use some expanding foam to fill it

Remember to take into account height, and going around the corners & things with your cable length calculations

Direct distance and routed distance can sometimes be over double the length you initially think it is

For example, at my girlfriend’s house, I thought 20 foot cable would be fine to run from the optical network terminal into the router, but would definitely be more like 35 feet taking into account going up the wall across the attic and back down again

So I plan to get a 50 foot cable in case something needs to move in the future and also plenty of slack just in case

[fresh crane]

Sorry for the late reply, Well the battery im currently using has a dedicated charge input line along with the discharge line and so does the one im planning to buy (its a 10s3p 36v lipo battery). I was planning on connecting the new battery to the old one and was wondering if i could connect the charge input lines of the two batteries so that one charger can charge both at the same time

[lean lake]

only issue with your suggestion is that i cant see how im going to drill a story up and feed a cable through a wall

not even sure how you find the bottom corner of a room from the outside

[polar fern]

You can always just go through the floor into the room itself and not into the wall.

Definitely check for pipes and other cabling before you do this though

[fossil frost]

drill through the ceiling and into the floor above, and then run some sort of fish cable... any short length of stiff wire will be fine to act as a fish cable

[lean lake]

i might try some wireless options before i commit to something permanent like that

i've been looking at powerline adapter, mesh network, and an upgraded router

[polar fern]

it’s not permanent… you just get some screw bungs & shave off the top if you need to remove the cable.

[lean lake]

true i guess

[fossil frost]

filler is fine too

[lean lake]

do you guys have any personal experience with mesh or routers etc

just wondering if its possible to get results without having to go wired

[fossil frost]

yeah, they are generally shitter than youtubers make them seem

they work really well when you first set them up, then gradually get worse and worse and worse

[lean lake]

even the ones that are hundreds?

[fossil frost]

they are all the same protocol, running over the same frequencies

congestion is the same for them all

[lean lake]

what if its the only signal around

my neighbours aren't close enough to have their networks interfering and i only plan on one wifi

[fossil frost]

do you live in the middle of nowhere, with no neighbours, no cell signal, no microwaves, no bluetooth

[velvet marsh]

I'll lick it and find out

[lean lake]

town, pretty bad cell signal, got a microwave downstairs if thats what ur talking about and i dont really use bt

[fossil frost]

you seem like you are looking for one of us to confirm your decision for you, thats not what you have asked for... you have asked if they are any good, they are not... its up to you to make your own mind up now and live with whatever decision you make

[lean lake]

i mean cable really is the last option, gonna need alot of clips etc to keep it flush and all of that jazz, just want some personal experiences with some other forms of wireless connection with similar situations as me. As i dont trust paid youtubers to review stuff

[fossil frost]

my personal experience of deploying it at my old job, my current job, and in my own house, is that it sucks.. my personal experience of ripping it all out and replacing it with wires... is that wires just work, and are infinitely more reliable

[lean lake]

thank you for that lovely advice

gonna have to assess the cable situation

[fossil frost]

running the cables isnt as hard as you are making yourself think it is

[lean lake]

its about making it flush

and i gotta take it externally

[fossil frost]

you dont need to take it externally, run it up any corner of the room, run it inside the floors/ceiling space, you can hide most of it quite easily with existing fixtures

use trunking (plastic covers) to cover where it is in the corners

[lean lake]

i see

is this a common thing people do

[fossil frost]

mine all runs in the ceiling and drops down in the corners of each room, or... up from the corners of each room upstairs

no, most people deal with having slow laggy wifi, because they dont know any better

[dire widget]

Hey guys

[lean lake]

honestly i'd rather do that and have great wifi than this current crap

[fossil frost]

and then complain about the "internet" being slow, when its nothing to do with their internet, its their bad wifi

[obtuse mirage]

i mean, i specifically put together my desktop with a motherboard that has a built in wifi antenna simply because nobody wants a cable across the house

[fossil frost]

my ex-in-laws constantly complain to their ISP that "the internet is terrible"... despite my telling them that "the internet" and "the wifi" are different things, and putting the wifi hub inside a cupboard, behind the tv, is a terrible place to put it

[obtuse mirage]

oh god yea

i cant say shit, ours is right below the tv on a shelf, but it works 🤷‍♀️

[fossil frost]

your connection is objectively worse than if you ran a cable.. as in, you can test it, and prove that wifi is worse

[obtuse mirage]

my speeds are terrible anyways

[lean lake]

i have a 300mbps package which is pretty fast i believe, currently im on about 20mbps

[fossil frost]

wifi affects more than just bandwidth, ping's on wifi are measurably worse too

[obtuse mirage]

Honestly the speed of my connection is so shit i dont think a cable would help anything except latency when using airlink for my quest

[obtuse mirage]

thats the thing, ping is amazing, speed sucks

[lean lake]

i have amazing ping despite crap speed

[obtuse mirage]

^

[fossil frost]

plug in with a wire, they will be better and more consistent too

[brazen juniper]

Lenovo thinkpad carbon gen 12 x1 vs asus proart px13

[obtuse mirage]

yea but i dont have a cable long enough and i dont want to run a cable across my house

[calm swan]

why not thinkpad p14s

[fossil frost]

benefit of this being my house, i cabled the whole house, everywhere has wired

[obtuse mirage]

i got my desktop motherboard specifically because i dont want or have a cable to use, and it also came with bluetooth as an added bonus

[obtuse mirage]

yea im in an apartment

that has no wall jacks to use

[lean lake]

i have a wifi card, same thing no?

[obtuse mirage]

mine doesnt use a card, its just built into the motherboard itself

but yes, same thing essentially

[fossil frost]

yeah, the onboard wifi on all motherboards is a chip that is connected to the chipset via pci-e 3.0

[obtuse mirage]

i was going to get a card at first but then i realized i could get a motherboard with bluetooth and wifi 🤷‍♀️

[fossil frost]

so your card is connected in an identical way and works in an identical way

[lean lake]

im sick of solutions that dont work, cable is the only one that is guaranteed, just thinking of a way i can route it out of the way

[obtuse mirage]

and thats why i dont have one

[fossil frost]

the only difference, is that if you care about how it looks, with a window in the case... built into the motherboard is slightly cleaner looking

[obtuse mirage]

when i move out and get my own place maybe ill just thumbtack it to the ceiling or something, but until then, nobody else in the house wants to look at cable across the ceiling

[lean lake]

performance>looks

[fossil frost]

cant see any cables in my house at all, all hidden, anywhere it would be exposed, its inside white trunking that gets painted the same colour as the walls

[obtuse mirage]

tell that to 40 year old's

[fossil frost]

im almost 40

about 7 months away from being 40

[obtuse mirage]

tell that to non computer people who are 40*

[lean lake]

yeah its not my house, cant just route a big fuck off cable all over the place, however dad is down with cable idea, just has to be neat and discreet

[fossil frost]

you are both overthinking the whole cable situation, you cant see it. i installed all my cables without my wife knowing... she still hasnt noticed

[lean lake]

they always got the craziest builds

[lean lake]

ur most definitely 5 times the diy man i am

[fossil frost]

self adhesive trunking ftw 🙂

[obtuse mirage]

im 18, live with my mom, and she doesnt want a giant cable across the house,
that and im on a laptop at the moment, so not much point anyways

ever since my gpu ate shit on my desktop ive been gaming on the laptop i got from my college

[fossil frost]

wifi exists in my house for that reason alone, my 2 youngest kids have laptops, my oldest has a desktop and is wired on... but... having my two with laptops trying to wire in, is pointless... and its not like roblox or minecraft needs those low pings 😄

[obtuse mirage]

the only game i play that would want that low of a ping has the shittest servers anyways so it wouldnt matter

star citizen moment

[fossil frost]

in fact, my oldest has just asked me today, to teach him "the next step" in programming... he wants to move away from scratch and start programming in code 😄

[lean lake]

i want to take advantage of the download speed

[lean lake]

big up scratch

[obtuse mirage]

throw them straight into the pit of hell,
C++ or bust

[fossil frost]

hes 12 now, been using scratch since he was 9.. hes asked me to show him how to use what i use at work, C#

[obtuse mirage]

Oh damn

[fossil frost]

and since C# is a C based language, hes effectively learning all C based languages by learning any one of them

[lean lake]

setting him up for success

[obtuse mirage]

what even is the difference betweeen C# and C++?

[lean lake]

then chatgpt takes all jobs

[fossil frost]

many things

[fossil frost]

i would explain just how wrong that is, and how stupid people are who think that.. .but im tired and i cant be bothered

[obtuse mirage]

i tried taking a C++ class in highschool, that went horribly and i failed immediatly

[fossil frost]

the basic syntax is the same, the way you structure your code, but its an entirely different language... its similar to comparing french and italian... they have the same syntax, similar rules... but they are entirely different languages.. but learning one will help you learn the other

[obtuse mirage]

ah

[fossil frost]

C# is more beginner friendly too

[obtuse mirage]

I still need to figure out how to set up remote desktop properly

like i said, my home wifi sucks,
so i want a remote desktop thats a direct connection instead of going through some server somewhere

[fossil frost]

i used to be bothered to set all that stuff up, but... honestly... the only reason to do it is to show off to your other tech friends and say "look what i did", but you are constantly fighting with changing IPs and rules and authentication... you eventually just learn to accept that teamviewer is your friend and let somebody else solve the problem for you

[lean lake]

damn

[fossil frost]

you wont believe me now.. but give it a few years of fighting with RD, and you will come back and tell me im right 🙂

[lean lake]

my mother is NOT down with the trunking idea 😢

[fossil frost]

LLMs can create what has already been created, they can even stitch various things together, that have already been created.. but they cant maintain that code, they cant test it, they cant know the intent of how its going to be used, they cant add in the nuance that affects how an end user will end up using it... and on top of that.. the stuff it does generate is usually atrocious and full of bugs and security flaws... you need real developers to fix all of that... and even if LLMs do get better, they are trained on public code repositories, and most public code repositories are atrocious, leading to the LLM still producing atrocious code

[manic torrent]

The only way chatgpt takes your job is if you were already useless.

[fossil frost]

AI only seems I to those who have no I of their own

[graceful burrow]

Very very rarely has chatgpt or any other llm, even language specific ones, given me usable code
Sometimes they give me good concepts on what i need to do to write the code to function for what I want, basically nothing past that

It always throws in random ass libraries

[manic torrent]

The answer is it depends 🙂 depends on the capacity of the charger and the way the BMS work. It's absolutelypossible

[manic torrent]

It looks very impressive if you can't code 🙂

[graceful burrow]

It definitely does
Too bad it doesn't know how to fix the code it writes

And I'm sayin this from a novice perspective

I think I've gotten usable code out of it once, where I didn't have to change anything

And it was a super simple small snippet for a python script

[eager notch]

Y

[fossil frost]

i gave chatgpt a piece of code i wrote at work, about 50 lines that implemented some specific logic... asked it to refactor/optimise it for me, just to see what it would do... it ADDED bugs and security issues into it

i gave it what it was supposed to do... and it still couldnt do better than a person

[harsh quartz]

user error

[fossil frost]

yep. the user made the error of using chatgpt

[harsh quartz]

Honestly yeah

I still to this day have avoided playing around with Ai chatbots just cause fuck them

[pallid falcon]

Only ones I use is chatgpt and grok

Groks the only one who doesn't get offended when i ask it very strange borderline weird things

[harsh quartz]

I use Gemini cause I can’t turn the fucker off but I rarely pay attention to it, but I’ve never gone out of my way to use one

[lean lake]

@fossil frost did you ever try a powerline adapter?

[graceful burrow]

Do not

Powerline is universally bad

[fossil frost]

yeah, but they are very much "you get what you pay for", if you buy the older protocol, cheaper ones... they are crap... the newer, more expensive ones, are not as good as actual ethernet wires, but still better than wifi

[lean lake]

it annoys me that cable is the only reliable option

[long briar]

it CAN be good, but generally it's really bad

...?

[harsh quartz]

Fiber

[long briar]

^

[lean lake]

?

[fossil frost]

cables... but made from glass instead of copper

[lean lake]

i know what fibre is, its included with cables

My wifi uses fibre, shame the router is ass

[long briar]

Powerline has two issues: signal integrity depends on the home wiring. If you have ancient wiring, it's not gonna be good. second being a good powerline setup costs more than just running ethernet

if you live in a slightly older home without ethernet but have coax, you could consider MoCA

[fossil frost]

wont run ethernet because "it looks bad on the wall"

[long briar]

but even then I'd just recommend running ethernet

[long briar]

oh what.

[harsh quartz]

Your WiFi uses fiber? Que?

[pallid falcon]

😭

[lean lake]

coax was for tv's correct?

i've got old phone lines in my room if those could be used as a method

[fossil frost]

gemini is an improvement on "ok google" because when it pops up from nowhere thinking i just spoke to it... gemini understands "fukc off and leave me alone", where as ok google, didnt

[long briar]

why not run ethernet.. just get a recessed wall plate

[graceful burrow]

Sweet! I love being moderated too maybe I should repost this

[long briar]

Gemini just takes a little while to process but I have to use it in order to have voice controls for calls and such

[graceful burrow]

Politics are fuckin cringe dude

[long briar]

like for alarms if I enable Gemini on my Pixel 8 I can tell it to stop

or calls I can tell it to pick up or screen or decline

[harsh quartz]

Okay, but, tremendous ball

I’ve already been infected. You will be too

[lean lake]

do you mind showing me how ur cables pass through doorways if they pass through any

[serene cloud]

I have one ethernet cable going through a wall, the box uses an already exsisting power outlet.

inside the floorboards, or under the skirting board and carpet

damn you did a proper job

[fossil frost]

i would take photos, but, i would be showing you a photo of my floor, with no cable in the shot

[lean lake]

we do have floorboards i could feed the cable under

[graceful burrow]

Can I see anyway

[lean lake]

i could then bring it up next to stairs and go kinda straight up, might be a shout

floorboards are defo in section tho, wont be easy to just thread a cable 20 odd feet

will be lots of support foundations in the way most likely

[fossil frost]

i also have a large drill, and a big tub of polyfiller 😄

[lean lake]

genuinely a below floor cable might be the play

as i can easily run it up the staircase out of view

[fossil frost]

you can buy flat ethernet cables too, even easier to hide under the carpet

slightly more expensive than regular round cable, but, were talking the difference between £10 and £12

[lean lake]

will defo get flat ones, will have to assess what under the boards looks like tho

[lean lake]

if im doing all this im going top notch cable

[serene cloud]

Here's a bit of the song

Aww really, stupid OBS

[lean lake]

you can change output to mp4

so discord lets it paly

[fossil frost]

there will already be U-Channels cut out for your water pipes inside your floor boards, you can just drop the cable inside there when you need to go under the boards

[lean lake]

im gonna pull up a board rq, will be 2 minutes

[fossil frost]

and, depending on which way the beams go... you may not need to give a shit at all, just run it parallel to the beams 😄

[serene cloud]

HERE's the video now.

It's the test model.

[fossil frost]

if you were my neighbour, and you had that seizure inducing light show on your actual house, i would probably have to... have words...

those words would be sharp, pointy, and made from stainless steel

[serene cloud]

Lol

My neighbors actually find it cool. Plus, it's less seizure inducing in reality, because incandecent lights don't really turn on-off directly, there's a slight fade.

So it's less on-off and more on------off

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt mind it if the transitions were less jarring

and yeah, needs more fade

[serene cloud]

They are ALOT less jarring in reality.

Here's the same song, from a couple years ago. I'm currently adapting it to 32 channels, instead of the 16 in the video: https://youtu.be/DFeLguCTlcU?si=h5VjqUJyR3ozTJpq

It's alot better in real life.

[fossil frost]

yeah, less jarring IRL... but as your neighbour, i would probably still have to feed you your own balls

[serene cloud]

I only run it from 6:00pm to 11:00pm.

[fossil frost]

but you do you, if you and your actual neighbours like it, then have fun 😄

[serene cloud]

It runs off a Raspberry Pi with Falcon Player Pi

So I can schedule it

[fossil frost]

you had a look at https://github.com/PlummersSoftwareLLC/NightDriverStrip

lets you drive any ARGB strips in any arrangement, and lets you design the lightshow in many different ways...

former (effectively OG) microsoft employee's pet project

[eager notch]

I have intelligent stage lights that move so I can blind you if I want

They are like 15,000 lumens each

[fossil frost]

i would feed them to you first

[serene cloud]

xLights and FalconPlayer were originally designed to run RGB Pixel Lightshows with these types of controllers:

Whoops, wrong image

I have 2 of these:

xLights and FPP added the capability to use AC controllers several years ago.

[eager notch]

DMX shit is cooler imo

[glass mural]

We tripping a breaker with this one 🗣️🔥

[serene cloud]

Fair, LOR's AC controller is a DMX-based system though.

It uses E1.31 (If I got the name right)

Which I think E1.31 is a superset of DMX, as in it supports direct DMX with extras

If I remember correctly

Over Ethernet!

🙂

[obtuse mirage]

what in the f-

[serene cloud]

16 channel AC light show controllers

[obtuse mirage]

oh god

im guess alot of power for the lights?

[slow grotto]

never could get the lock to work properly

[hoary steppe]

is MSFS cheaper during the winter steam sale?

[slow grotto]

With 1 16 channel controller I usually require atleast 2 15amp circuits to not blow anything

[serene cloud]

I actually modified a different key I happened to have from a hot-swap HDD caddy.

[obtuse mirage]

HOLY SHIT

[serene cloud]

I don't put that many lights on them.

[slow grotto]

with leds*

[obtuse mirage]

isnt 15 amp like, Normally what a breaker is inside a house for the individual rooms?

[obtuse mirage]

god the poor retinas of whoever witness that thing

[slow grotto]

Honestly, it's not eye burning lol, but currently I'm still trying to convince my work they should get one for christmas

[obtuse mirage]

tf are you trying to do, turn the entire building into a light show? holy shit lmao

[slow grotto]

crap, forgot I can't send photos here

But I work at park/lake, we do a bunch of lights around the whole thing
Roof, Pillars, railings, etc...

[serene cloud]

Do you have a video? I have a whole playlist I uploaded to youtube.

[slow grotto]

Light show is done at my friends house, might have a video, not sure though

But for reference, we got ~3200 cars last year to come out and look at it

Can't find any vids

[slow grotto]

When spread out over a house and yard it's much more bearable

[full fossil]

I play among us on my Xbox (don’t judge my game interests pls) but typing on the controller kinda sucks

Any solutions?

[graceful burrow]

Which controller do you have

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/bongo-cat-typing-keyboard-smash-gif-17773853

[graceful burrow]

There are a few versions of the Xbox one and series controllers so I wanna be sure the info I can find is correct
Alternatively you could use a wired keyboard
There are also some wireless mini ones where they keyboard itself runs on batteries and connects to a usb you plug into the console but I can't speak if they will work or not, but they definitely should

"onn" brand makes some small wireless ones for like, 10 usd, they're a Walmart brand so don't expect high quality but it should just work

[full fossil]

Xbox Series

[full fossil]

my xbox is connected to my tv and i play on the couch so i cant really get a generic keyboard

believe me if i could i already would have

[graceful burrow]

Also something like this
https://a.co/d/26YpAxl

Xbox ambassadors on Xbox forums link this and say it works so I'm leaning towards it workin

Not that spendy too
I used to have one of these made for my 360 I'd keep on the controller to make it a bit heftier

[carmine stirrup]

Falls apart and makes LEGO noises

[full fossil]

does anyone know why there is no vid today

[graceful burrow]

Sounds about right lmao

[graceful burrow]

No

[vapid smelt]

they both even use the same photos

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807241173917.html " Enhanced Gaming Racing Wheel" wtf

[pallid falcon]

I thought they stopped making those after xbox 360

[graceful burrow]

Official ones yeah

It's all third party stuff, mostly because Microsoft can't keep up with the prices on that kind of stuff

Easier than ever to peddle landfill online

[long briar]

Intel used to make coolers like this?

[pallid falcon]

They are was ok

[long briar]

well the fan would have no static pressure and the blade pitch is horrendous

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4pTmP6/intel-bxrts2011lc-74-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-bxrts2011lc and aios

[long briar]

well I knew about the AIOs

they also had that cryo cooler

[surreal kernel]

That looks like it would kill me

[glass mural]

The sheer amount of air leaking past the blades 💀

[long briar]

you're assuming the fanblades actually push any air

that fan blade angle suuuckkkks

[glass mural]

Intel needs to keep doing what they do best

Making CPUs that die after 6 months

[full fossil]

Who got iOS 18

[undone juniper]

Hi

[brazen juniper]

Thanks

[glass mural]

Me and it has all the same bugs as the final beta

Text disappearing

Audio files in the files app skipping a few seconds

[full fossil]

I don’t have any bugs lol

[glass mural]

Also I can’t set a custom hex code/RGB code for my app icons

I’d like to set the primary and secondary colors

Probably primary to #FFFFFF and secondary to #000000

Also custom folder colors and let me disable the stupid background blur

Honestly I’m just describing an android device at this point

[long briar]

That was their process node

Intel already has a better core architecture than AMD and better memory controller

lol

[glass mural]

While that may be true I want nothing to do with the 13th and 14th gen chips

[long briar]

If Intel figures out their process (or by switching to TSMC for Arrow lake, apparently) AMD won't have an answer to it for a while

[manic torrent]

huh?

[glass mural]

While TSMC is the best there is I’d really like it if there was more competition for semiconductor manufacturing

TSMC makes the A and M series chips as well as AMD chips

Doesn’t Qualcomm make their stuff with TSMC?

[long briar]

yep

So does Nvidia

[long briar]

Intel 4 sucks rn

[glass mural]

Ofc that’s a stupid question if you want to be the best you need to go to TSMC

[manic torrent]

yes, but that phrase "won't have anything to show for it" isn't a comparative phrase like that and doesn't make sense.

[long briar]

you'd be waiting for Zen 6 which is another 2 years

[glass mural]

TSMC is playing both sides of every argument lol

[long briar]

Zen 5 will continue to be 1mb of l2 per core compared to 3 for arrow lake, and keep the IMC that can't go past 6400

[edgy horizon]

ryzen 4070 not showing 😭

[manic torrent]

yes but my issue isn't with what you meant - which is that AMD won't have an answer to it. It's with what you said, which was "they won't have anything to show for it". This phrase is used when you do something and it's pointless

[edgy horizon]

whatevs

[long briar]

oh shoot rlyu

well TIL

still being schooled in English

tyty

[manic torrent]

np, those sort of phrases can be extremely weird and nuanced

[lilac radish]

HELLO GUYS I NEED SOME one to help me idk anything about pcs which one is better intel or ryzen I want a pc for like 500fps in Fortnite al leats and 500fps on valorant and minimum 300fps csgo I need a performance computer the best performance for the amount of money 2000€ I don’t care like if the pc is aesthetic I want the best performance off course I old like a beautiful pc but if it’s not possible for the budget i just want a performance pc 1500€ minimum 2100€ max around there and I have a question if it comes whit windows

I like to play games competitively and I want the best performance I can buy

Can anybody send me private massage whit the info

[manic torrent]

that's plenty of budget for an awesome PC

Current best CPU is a 7800X3D

[lilac radish]

How 1500€ is to much for 500fps bro

[lilac radish]

14900k not good?

[vapid smelt]

what country are you in

[calm swan]

why get that cpu for purely gaming when the 78x3d exists

[lilac radish]

So if I buy that cpu 7800X3D which air cooler I buy and gpu psu SSD

[lilac radish]

Portugal

[lilac radish]

Idk bro

I don’t know anything I wanted to talk whit specialist

My current pc is from 2018/2019 I don’t remember and it has 1060 it’s very old

I would love it if you could help me and sending me your built

To private dm because I go sleep now school tomorrow

[stuck shoal]

[stuck shoal]

7800x3d 7900xtx will be a good pair

Case will be like 100,ssd 100,motherboard,200,psu,100,

[vapid smelt]

https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/Db8ywg is 2,129? you could also reuses you ssd and not buy a new one to make it under budget

[stuck shoal]

How about b650p

[vapid smelt]

good board but you would need a different case then the one i picked

[lilac radish]

Rx instead of nvidia? I was thinking about 4080 super or 4070 ti

[stuck shoal]

There the same performance anyways

[lilac radish]

https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/GyGHkJ

[vapid smelt]

7900xtx is faster then the 4080super and has more vram

[stuck shoal]

But AMD is cheaper

[lilac radish]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7GpNfy

I asked to people and the send me this

[lilac radish]

Is it really
