But it costs money

There is another free one called AppDeploy Repackager which sometimes works but it hasn’t been updated in 8 years and freezes quite often

Wait why is Linus blonde rn

Good question

Do you know anyone who is good with NSISS

Just need to remove that message box from line 360 and rebuild

[manic torrent]

no, I try not to deal with windows 😄

[full fossil]

That was the devs response too

lol

Back to square one

[nocturne depot]

howdy y'all

[harsh quartz]

See how much easier it’d be if everyone just used windows?

[full fossil]

Well, with very little remaining options. I decided to write an email to the NSISS dev. Let see if they respond

I’ve tried

Inno
Wix toolset
MSI to exe converter
MSI Wrapper
EXE to MSI converter pro
AppDeplory Repackager
MSIX Toolset
Advanced installer
Zola installer
NSISS recompile
Linux recompile
And many more

[manic torrent]

I think it's a skill issue 😄

[full fossil]

Ya probably. I don’t know NSISS enough to recompile from scratch. Hence the need for help

Now if it was a web app, then I could do it

But it’s not

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like a good opportunity to learn

[full fossil]

Hm, but if the devs don’t help.. Is it worth it to learn?

[graceful burrow]

You should be learning for you

[full fossil]

You may be right, after all 1.4K people looked at my Reddit post on the subject.
This is before I knew it was built in NSISS

https://www.reddit.com/r/Intune/s/0Tbt8gAsfU

But this program has next to no compile docs, so it’s not easy to learn

That’s my opinion at least

It’s not that I’m not willing to learn, far from it. But how do you learn when there is little material to study and the teachers (devs) don’t want to assist with Windows ?

@graceful burrow it feels fruitless

@manic torrent hmmmmm what else could I try

More outdated MsI builders I guess…

[sleek rover]

Hi all!

[full fossil]

Hey 🙂

What’s new

[pallid falcon]

Hai

[sleek rover]

Just checking out the Discord. Longtime watcher of the YT channel. It was some of LTT's build videos that gave me enough courage to build my first PC after years of console-only gaming. The grass really is greener on this side.

[full fossil]

Oh there is an NSISS discord. I’m going to post there and see if anyone knows anything lol

https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Community

Yes LTT is a great channel.

Anyone here knowing a thing or two about laptops

My luck got me a g17 strix with a 4070, ryzen 9 7845HX, 240Hz, 16 GB DDR5 for 1.85k and the only available prickup is 502km away from me

Was wondering if someone knows of a good laptop with a 4070 for a similar price, cause I can't seem to find one

they js scroll trough them and then get mad at anyone pinging mods

"wdym im harrassing, ur just a snowflake"

[rare horizon]

At least the mods respond, and don't all have Do Not Disturb mode on all the time

That happened on one other server I was on

during an incident

[karmic summit]

has anyone else had warhammer space marine 2 just crash constantly despite good hardware?

[summer folio]

To be fair, I don't think it matters, crash-wise, if you have a 4090 or 1060 in a game

[karmic summit]

its been frustrating. I literally have a 4090 and its been crashing after 5 min

[thick stirrup]

yo

[devout vine]

Gtx 1080 or 1660 super and why?

[karmic summit]

no other game gives me issues

[summer folio]

You got lates drivers?

[karmic summit]

yep, and all my hardware works great. Everything updated. Installed and reinstalled and verified files

even turned setting to low and 30fps max

still crashes even if I have everything maxed it runs a cool 80-100fps on 4K without DLSS

tried with DLSS and without too

[summer folio]

Maybe your PC is just more of a Orkz guy than space marine

[karmic summit]

turned off all the overlays liek steam and discord

[karmic summit]

I have a actual custodes army, so maybe they dont want me associating with the filthy marines

For anyone going into PCs, just know that you need more technical expertise as compared to a console for instance, unless of course you're talking about Macs.

Huh? I just don't get it.

[grim belfry]

[frail void]

Well for starters PCs are built to run almost anything while consoles are only for gaming so you need to be more careful there, as you might not know what those programs are doing.

Apple does not block third party apps or OSes on Macs

[frail void]

Of course not, third party apps are allowed as long as they meet with Apple's requirements.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but it’s much less common

[harsh quartz]

Okay are we talking iOS or macOS?

[grim belfry]

Nope, I could make an app that violates all of Apples requirements and run it on any Mac :)

[harsh quartz]

Cause IOS is pretty locked down but macOS you can turn off those settings, if you know how

[grim belfry]

You’ve got no idea what you’re talking about mate

[frail void]

Yes you can run it, same way you can jailbreak an iPhone.

[grim belfry]

Or as Bob would say, you don’t know shit about fuck

[grim belfry]

No, not even remotely the same

[harsh quartz]

No. It’s literally just one setting you enable. And then you put it in the apps folder and run it. And it runs.

[harsh quartz]

Oh this took forever to load for me so it was just a black square

[frail void]

Okay they're not the same, I grant you that, but my point being you're not exactly encouraged to do so.

[harsh quartz]

“Not being encouraged” and “not possible” are very different things

[grim belfry]

You’re also not encouraged to install exes on Windows :)

[harsh quartz]

Windows also literally blocks you from running shit sometimes and you have to find hidden settings that allows you to run “dangerous” items

[grim belfry]

Exactly 🙂

[harsh quartz]

Like windows defender will just say no and make it disappear

[pallid falcon]

Even if disabled sometimes

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and Microsoft edge will also not allow you to download things that it “can’t verify” sometimes even after you tell it to trust it

Gotta open a whole nother fuckin browser cause Microsoft doesn’t trust me

[grim belfry]

It usually only does that for things downloaded over HTTP

[frail void]

That's not the same. I feel it is my fault for not using appropriate wording. Windows gives you freedom, it is only by your own discretion that you choose which programs to install.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but if I tell it to download anyway. Fuckin download anyways 😠

[harsh quartz]

macOS does too

[grim belfry]

There’s also a setting to disable it edge://settings/content/insecureContent

[harsh quartz]

(I just use a different browser)

[grim belfry]

I love edging

Bing bonging

[grim belfry]

I also use Bing occasionally :p

[harsh quartz]

Anyways. Anyone here know how to install eCW 12.1 plugin on Mac?

[pallid falcon]

Well if you stick to the Microsoft apps like Edge for browsing Windows Defender might be enough protection.

Although I do have memories of when Windows ID actually was King was so nice not having spyware

98

[tired glade]

Wait, that was before spyware was a thing

[errant tusk]

Basically yes

[grim belfry]

In the dark of the night, with a glint in their eyes,
The kobolds emerge beneath moonlit skies.
Tiny and quick, with a plan so Through cracks in the walls, they skitter and creep,
While ministers snore in their bureaucratic sleep.
With nimble fingers and clever, sharp claws,
They dance past the guards, defying the laws.

No grand speeches or reasons why,
They just grin as they pocket, and silently fly,
Back to their lair, with riches untold,
The government coffers, now emptied of gold.

A mischievous laugh echoes through the night,
For kobolds love nothing more than a heist done right.
And though the papers will write of a fiscal plight,
The kobolds just vanish, out of sight.

[tired glade]

Even 95 was pinging servers for time adjustment, so who knows what also were sent in those packages

My UI Settings are all cooked with both OBS and Streamdeck software

[pallid falcon]

..?

It looks normal

[pulsar violet]

This is what obs looks like on 2 different monitors

[pallid falcon]

Yes

[pulsar violet]

The UI is kinda messed up on the first

Before I didn’t have this issue

Idk why I have it now

[pallid falcon]

I dun see what's wrong

[pulsar violet]

Top tool bars, start streaming button, source text to small

Right one is normally how obs is left one is odd one out

[pallid falcon]

Check your scaling settings in windows?

[pulsar violet]

It’s been fine also windows calling itself is fine

After the issue I also check each app property as well

For DPI Scaling

Changing resolution is also not affected

i really need to at some point redo my entire streamdeck ui

[main hazel]

@strange elk hey I just switched the Psu and the pc still doesn’t work. I did everything there is to do and it still won’t turn on.

[fresh sorrel]

i mainly just have my streamdeck for homeassistant things while im on my computer lmao
Turning lights/ac on/off mainly

oh yeah i think i have a few OBS things too even though i dont stream

just in case lmao

You didnt do that already before?

This was literally last week

Ive done all I could. good luck

[main hazel]

I did

Yeah I’ll just RMA

But thanks

[strange elk]

I hate that all the reviews I've posted lately for games have been negative :/

Like why do we have a trend of 10 year old in some cases long abandoned games getting shitty updates being launcher additions, anticheats, or just updating because "we love you guys we didnt forget about you" (in the case I'm thinking while also leaving their VR ports untouched from launch when they kinda shouldve had fixes long ago, both of those big publishers)

[fresh sorrel]

guys 4090 or Kid Zone Commercial Indoor Playground

a 4090 or a weeks rent in Chicago

[strange elk]

A weeks rent? Nah Id live in a van fuck that

[fresh sorrel]

live in the Kid Zone Commercial Indoor Playground

[pallid falcon]

we should add detectors in cars/vans to see if someone is living inside of them and paywall needed stuff (like heaters.. etc) to give the realism of rent

Thats just how troubleshooting be sometimes though. If you took it in they might've seen that tbh

Weird that it was working with that one psu though

[primal sonnet]

do you guys think it's possible to daily drive Linux if you're an IT major. I have a Lenovo and I also have an m1 air

[tired glade]

Yes,but you will face unpredictable problems

[calm swan]

you could try

[primal sonnet]

idk

[tired glade]

But you know,that os won't cost you money

[fresh sorrel]

Depends what programs your classes use tbh

You could probably get away with it, but I would only do it if you feel youre competent enough in Linux. You don't want to add another challenge to your classload

[strange elk]

Visual Studio Code is on Linux, but you might have to virtualize windows at the very least for your course

[fresh sorrel]

id just use your m1, alot of people in the IT space use it

[primal sonnet]

I am competent in Linux. I've been using Linux for 4 years and am pretty knowledgeable

[fresh sorrel]

ok then if you don't think itll be a bottleneck or inconvenience itself in your studies then go for it

[primal sonnet]

I'm just not sure

[fresh sorrel]

but yeah, like V said you might have to virtualize some things

[strange elk]

Worst case, grab another drive and pop windows onto it

[fresh sorrel]

or just get a big drive and dual boot

[strange elk]

That way you can swap without worrying

[primal sonnet]

Im not far into my studies only second semester

The course is based off CompTIA A+

[strange elk]

I think its possible, whether or not its compatible with the curriculum is another story

[fresh sorrel]

A+ is pretty straightforward and standard

kindof a catchall basics

[primal sonnet]

And I'm also taking a software design class so just a python class

the only windows application I've seen so far that I need is flowgorithm it's a pretty basic program

[strange elk]

Basically right up Linux's alley then

[fresh sorrel]

tbf this is coming from a film student so like, i dont actually know what colleges use for computer courses lmao

[tired glade]

Oh, python, that will be pretty good on Linux

battery will be better too which is crucial for college lmao

[tidal minnow]

Uggh i want a steamdeck but i dont need it 😭

[full fossil]

If gaming isn't a huge priority in a laptop just get a macbook

Even the air's are suitable for some heavy workloads now.

[strange elk]

I hope you dont plan to play GTA online on it

[tired glade]

And get refurbished MacBook ,same some money

[tired glade]

Or any games with kernal lvl drm

I should try total annihilation on steam deck

[tidal minnow]

Thats specific

Whys that? I dont but im interested

[primal sonnet]

I love my m1 air

[tired glade]

Anti chest not compatible with Linux

[tidal minnow]

Steamdeck = linux by default???

I havent used it or researched it thoroughly. But dam

[tired glade]

It's steam os main platform

[tidal minnow]

Does it use some linux?

Is that why it runs into the aforementioned issues?

[tired glade]

It valve made Linux distro

[tidal minnow]

Oh, steam os IS a linux distro?

[tired glade]

Yes

[pallid falcon]

It is compatible.

Rockstar just never enabled it being compatible

[tired glade]

Oh, that's the news that people talking about

[graceful burrow]

It's arch-based yeah

[strange elk]

They just installed battleye yesterday. Some games with anticheats work but a lot won't. Most of the ones that dont are by abusive companies anyway

[tidal minnow]

Oh wow, that sounds like when the steam deck released. It probably also made some heavy improvements of linux support for people not even using steam os too?

[deep solstice]

BattleEye is actually compatible with Steam OS. It's a single checkbox in the management interface that Rockstar refuses to enable

Valve worked with BattleEye to make it that simple

[graceful burrow]

Proton basically makes gaming on Linux possible

[deep solstice]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

Insane that R* refuses to support it

[pallid falcon]

Valve should accidentally enable it during routine maintenance

[tidal minnow]

Did the release of steamdeck and steam os help improve proton?

[graceful burrow]

They can't, it's not a thing on valves end
Valve would have to crack battleye to do it

Which would make battleye remove Linux support all together

[graceful burrow]

More than everything before it combined yeah

[tidal minnow]

Yeah makes sense

[deep solstice]

https://rockstarintel.com/new-gta-online-update-removes-steam-deck-support/ This article hits the key points well

GTA 5 is the 6th most played Steam Deck game too

[tidal minnow]

Wonder if well get a similar situation with arm support for games. Albeit it cant really be compared as one is a different os and one Is another entire chip architecture.

And we already have 3 companies pushing support i guess.

Being intel amd and snapdragon

Idk about apple maybe theyll help push support but ive not heard much about them specificly improving game support.

[primal sonnet]

how much storage should I allocate to Linux on a dual boot on a 256gb drive. It will be Linux and win 11

[long briar]

how much do you want to use Linux?

like daily driver? or just to play with

I used to set aside 64gb back when dualbooting because Linux was more or less a niche thing that I never needed to use

[primal sonnet]

daily driver and I don't really play any games and big files I put in my Google drive I pay for Google one

[graceful burrow]

I would most definitely not put both Linux and windows on the same drive

[primal sonnet]

and I have my m1 as well also

I have only security updates on windows

No feature updates

[last solstice]

I mean they are doing their best give em some time they are kinda slow. (its like a child having trouble with basic math yk)

[primal sonnet]

I went ahead and completely wiped windows hopefully the m1 will suffice for most worst case scenario I can run a VM

[fossil frost]

Putting windows and Linux on the same drive is absolutely fine... IF... IF... you are already well versed in the argument that the windows bootloader and grub will have with each other, and how to get around those issues. But by default, I agree. Use two different drives, its less hassle

[strange elk]

Even then I'd be careful about it

[calm swan]

yeah its based on arch

[glass mural]

I might be tempted to get another NVMe for my PC when I build it so I can play around with Linux (I’m too stupid for arch)

[strange elk]

I'll never recommend arch for someones first try. Linux Mint is generally my go-to

Most distros have their own issues though including this one

[prime solstice]

I like using pop os

ive been keeping away from framework for mostly the radeon graphics

it doesn't work for me

[hot tartan]

It is possible, but it is up to Nvidia to allow it

[dull wyvern]

if super tiny system makers like the one in the dawid system can integrate that gpu i don't get why framework couldn't

but ig nvidia is nvidia

[hoary bane]

Guys i posted post tech issue and no one commented, do i have to get girl pfp to get replies in post 😭?

[hot tartan]

You are not entitled to help

[hoary bane]

Gg

[hot tartan]

It comes more down to licensing and Framework wanting to work with NVIDIA, not about the actual tech behind it. Just business

[dull wyvern]

its sad

i would jump on framework with nvidia graphics

[hot tartan]

Meh, I think AMD is a much better partner for Framework

[dull wyvern]

amd is just too buggy and problematic for the workloads I intend to use a gaming laptop for thats all really

[calm swan]

a lot of people would if it was priced decently

if it wasn't for that i would love radeon graphics

[hot tartan]

What workloads

[glass mural]

I got a ghost ping grrrrr

[full fossil]

bru every time I join a mc server I keep getting this error code and crashes me

[sharp cradle]

what's the error

[full fossil]

Lemme get it up wuickly

[full fossil]

"Exit code: -1073741819"

only when I join multilayer servers

there's nothing about it online

[sharp cradle]

try updating graphic drivers

also there is lol??

[dull wyvern]

ummmm

im gonna keep that to myself but i also stream/record which is incredibly painful on radeon graphics

[fossil frost]

screenshot plz

[full fossil]

I'll dm u it

it won't let me dm

[fossil frost]

#tech-chat-1

[full fossil]

Alr

@fossil frost I sent it

[fossil frost]

you have any client side mods installed?

[full fossil]

Optifine

forge

but I'm only using optifine

[fossil frost]

do you know how to get a crashlog? if not.. go to https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/How_to_get_a_crash_report and get a crash report... ill send you a friend request so you can dm it to me

[harsh quartz]

Are they Java or bedrock servers?

[full fossil]

java

ok uh that's werid

[harsh quartz]

Cause I know I’ve had issues connecting to servers before when I was in the wrong version. Also some servers dont allow you to use forge at all

[full fossil]

I just logged onto it successfully

but using java 1.21.1 not optifine 1.20.6

[fossil frost]

most common cause of that crash message is bad mods, or mods incompatible with the server

[full fossil]

ye I'm playing on invadedlands

[harsh quartz]

I feel like Minecraft used to tell you this, but now it just doesn’t

Cause it used to throw up an error that would actually tell you what mods were incompatible

[full fossil]

Probably just an outdated version of optifine

[polar fern]

Hey, we shop at the same store!

[humble nimbus]

Hello I've hope to open an discussion if an retro-gaming-moding channlel should be added to the NICHES category, this thought occured to me after watching James from James Channel (that's the youtube channel name, he is an associate of dankpods) make a "nintendo playstation" in the most violent way plausible and realizing there is a whole community of people doing stuff like adding hdmi to the wii, doing aparently anything and everything with ps3's and so on. I understand there might be some clashes with some pirating policies since some of the mods are something like: "So i've found this butleg nintendo whatever in aliexpress and I decided to use it as the bulding block for this arcade machine I've found in facebook marketplace" and there is a lot like this however I feel like the fun aswell as the educational benefits makes it worth while making a set of rules arround it, like on one of the videos James showed the traces in the pcb and compare them to the tip of a pen to show just how close together the tracer are. I've personally have never messed with stuff like this, the closest thing would be using arduino, but looking at everything it really is an accesible hobby that Im sure there is plenty of people in this discord that already practice it. Also watch a video titled I made an portable supernintendo and watch in horror what this man does to this thing.

[errant tusk]

nah thats Forge telling you the mods dont work because Forge is handling the mods and scanning for bad reactions

[polar fern]

@humble nimbus I would definitely look over on the forums

[fossil frost]

what really annoys me about satisfactory.. is that i am just starting, i dont know what im doing, and it wont let me connect more than 1 power line to my power generator... and thers no explanation as to why

can someone help me with my build? Im making a crazy workstation pc for a chess engine I built to compete with other chess engines and the pc is needed to help teach itself to become better.

Currently I found that dual Xeon golf 6138, ASUS WS C621E SAGE Workstation Motherboard, 4 Tesla P100s (already have), 768gb ddr4 2666, and 100TB. Would be suitable without burning my wallet away

[polar fern]

You can branch the powerlines between things that use power as far as I can remember from people playing

[fossil frost]

during my complaining, ive realised i can create power poles.. and potentially use those to branch 😄

[polar fern]

@sage fractal try #1106613567966429224

[sage fractal]

ok

[polar fern]

Yes. They just have to go between some kind of anchor structure and not all structures can anchor them.

[fossil frost]

just sorted it 😄

[sage fractal]

yurrr

[polar fern]

This is a global community and sometimes people are busy. It is also the middle of the week so not everyone is going to be available who might be able to lend some helpful information.

[sage fractal]

right

[polar fern]

To put it in shorter terms, this is not Google. We are people and people have various availabilities etc. 🤓

[fossil frost]

some of us are watching xyla foxlin set water on fire, while playing satisfactory 😄

[polar fern]

She is an inspirational dude

[humble nimbus]

yeah but thats on the site I really think this has a tone of potential to be in the discord also the the subject is to wide, like there is people talking about the ps5 and a switch 2, to me the subject of retro gamming modding fits perfectly as an niche

[polar fern]

That vintage plane of hers is pretty sweet

[fossil frost]

yet still super expensive to own, store, maintain, run, or even exist

[polar fern]

Well, you can talk to the moderators

[fossil frost]

discord isnt a repository of knowledge, nor should it be, its a way to communicate quickly... what you are describing is exactly what the forums are for

[polar fern]

Even in 2024 many forums are still going strong because you have potentially multiple decades of information that can apply to so many different things to help people troubleshoot and find answers

OK, I’m basically done waiting for this appointment. I’ve been sitting here for about 45 minutes.

Maybe if I was getting paid to wait like they are getting paid to see me I would wait longer but nope

[humble nimbus]

Im not saying making a channel to put step by step instructions on how to mod a console more like what they do in the linux channel or the overcloacking channel where people post things like look I've made this and ask small questions like what's your experience with this distro, on a similar matter people could quickly ask hey has anyone worked arround a certain console or what tools they like and stuff like this.

[graceful burrow]

As someone who both mods consoles and is terminally online in this server, It would go pretty much fully unused

There's only one other user here I know of that actively is into console modding

[vital oak]

why would u be paid to wait for an appointment

[polar fern]

Because people’s time is precious?

I scheduled it a week ago.

[vital oak]

Yes bro let’s pay EVERYONE who waits here a wage for waiting

this will surely be sustainable for our business

[polar fern]

Sounds good.

Fee for making people wait

Figure out your damn scheduling

[vital oak]

OR we could use it to pay the people who are actually working for them

[polar fern]

This is some peoples whole entire job is to schedule stuff and if for some reason you have to wait for more than half an hour you shouldn’t be notified at the end of this half an hour if the person you’re waiting for is running late

[vital oak]

or improve the scheduling system

[vital oak]

how unfortunate that you had to wait 30 minutes because someone was late mane

Doesn’t entitle u to a wage for literally sitting down lmfao

[polar fern]

I didn’t wait 30 minutes. I waited 45 minutes.

[vital oak]

😱

now THATS an issue!

Pay this man a wage immediately!

[fossil frost]

if i turn up late to an appointment, i get charged £45 for being late... why wouldnt it be valid to have it work the other way round?

[vital oak]

i’d imagine the dude running late isn’t being paid when he’s literally not there

it most likely does work the other way round

[polar fern]

I have stuff I need to do. It’s a 15 minute damn appointment and I was waiting 45 minutes and I gave up that point

[vital oak]

also if you were literally paid a wage for sitting there people would absolutely abuse that

[vital oak]

asking someone who works there:

[polar fern]

How? You need to check in & fill out a thing to -start- waiting

[vital oak]

Now.. NOW you gotta be paid a wage for this!

[mortal sundial]

Sometimes you gotta wait.

[vital oak]

Gah.. i can’t believe some stuff takes time! pay me a wage IMMEDIATELY!

[fossil frost]

you are acting like a dick now

[lean lake]

i get paid weekly 😝

[polar fern]

Dude, I don’t think you understand. I’m not just randomly waiting for some thing. This was an important blood test result consultation. I can only meet them this time on this day of the week and they know this because I told them several times

This is the second time that I have had to wait last time it was over half an hour

[vital oak]

so.. wait?

[lean lake]

fr

[polar fern]

I can’t. I have stuff I need to do.

[vital oak]

brother i am assuming you are in a hospital for this

it’s not that easy Lol

[vital oak]

scheduling stuff yourself in question:

[polar fern]

JFC it’s not like all I do is just sit on my ass all day

[vital oak]

you can’t handle waiting for a bit? for an important blood test?

[polar fern]

It’s not about handling waiting if I’m not there, they go away and the appointment has to be rescheduled

[vital oak]

then let it be rescheduled

don’t ask to be.. paid a wage for waiting..?

[polar fern]

I have laundry. I have dishes. What the fuck are you even talking about? I can’t just pause my entire day waiting for some pinhead who can’t schedule their day in a professional manner.

[vital oak]

Brother do you work in a hospital

[harsh quartz]

Dishes take like 20 minutes max and laundry also takes about that long but split out over multiple timeframes

[polar fern]

It’s is a 15 minute fucking appointment! Why would I wait three times that?!

[vital oak]

i can assure you whatever they are doing is more important than your dishes lmfao

[lean lake]

havent done urself any favours by saying those are the most important things

[polar fern]

It’s not about what they’re doing. It’s about stop stuffing your fucking schedule so full that they can’t get to their patients on time.

[vital oak]

cause ur in a hospital

[vital oak]

Brother do you realise that other people exist

[polar fern]

I’m not in the hospital. I’m at home. I have long Covid and I have immune issues hence the health appointment.

[vital oak]

they can’t just deny you a blood test

[mortal sundial]

If it's a doctor's appointment. I take out three more hours because I know they might not attend us if there is an emergency.

[fossil frost]

the one thing i will say on this is, hospitals are always busy, they always have emergencies, giving you some results of a blood test, may be lower down on the list than "someone is dying right now and we need this person"... and you said yourself, you have scheduled other things to do, when this has happened on the past, you should probably have scheduled things yourself, knowing this was going to happen... that being said, this guy is still being a massive dick about it

[vital oak]

i assumed you were waiting in a hospital for a blood test

[polar fern]

This is not a hospital. This is my primary care physician.

[vital oak]

They’re still gonna be very busy lol

[harsh quartz]

Hospital/clinic are interchangeable in this context

[fossil frost]

so somebody was coming to your home?

[harsh quartz]

Medical staff

[polar fern]

I already got the test. I need to talk to them about the fucking blood test results 15 minutes. Shouldn’t take a 45 minute wait when it’s scheduled a week in advance and you have to check in a half hour beforehand.

Jesus Christ, you people have no idea what the hell you’re talking about

[harsh quartz]

Your acting like your the only one who has to wait

[vital oak]

brother you asked to be paid a wage for waiting for an appointment

[mortal sundial]

like we havent been to a hospital.

[harsh quartz]

Doctors are humans. Doctors can run late.

[polar fern]

Yeah, they should pay me for every minute they are late.

[vital oak]

doctors are also BUSy

[fossil frost]

no idea what we are talking about? we have never been to a doctors and had to wait in a queue, because of the compounding effect of all those 15 minutes appointments before ours, actually being somewhere between 10 and 25 minutes?

[vital oak]

brother is just delusional

[fossil frost]

other guy is being a dick, but you are acting super entitled about this

[vital oak]

not really lol

[polar fern]

That’s great. It’s a scheduled appointment a week in advance. There’s more than one physician that can attend to my appointment. There’s no excuse for it at all and if they thought they would be running late they should’ve messaged me when I checked in instead of after 45 minutes of fucking waiting.

[fossil frost]

you are, you are being super aggressive about it and creating more conflict

[vital oak]

brother how am i being aggressive

i am Perplexed

[vital oak]

so you.. deserve to be Paid?

[harsh quartz]

You are being passive aggressive tbf.

[fossil frost]

tbh, both of your arguments are "im right, you are wrong..." 😄

[polar fern]

this appointment was a 15 minute consultation for blood test already performed the fact that I had to wait 45 minutes to have them tell me that they are running late is the problem here maybe you missed that part.

[vital oak]

brother my argument is you should not be paid for waiting for an appointment

[lean lake]

@polar fern are you obsessed with covid 19?

[vital oak]

and that is not an argument that is just a truth

[harsh quartz]

That’s just the medical system. That’s how the medical system has always worked.

[polar fern]

I don’t care it doesn’t excuse them for not keeping me updated. The desk staff can access the patient portal just as easily as the physicians if they are running behind.

[fossil frost]

already tried to explain, doctors have 15 minute appointments booked all day... 5 or 6 of them run 5 minutes over... thats 25-30 minutes delay on every appt after it

[fossil frost]

you think they dont have other jobs to do?

or are they just sat there, waiting?

[harsh quartz]

Or, you could ask? If it’s that big of a deal?

[vital oak]

thast unfortunate for you, please explain to me how on earth that makes you deserve pay for waiting

[polar fern]

A quick little button press sorry we’re running late. Would’ve been nice when my appointment was supposed to start not after 45 minutes of waiting wondering what the hell was going on

[harsh quartz]

Why’d you not ask after like 15 minutes

[fossil frost]

they will likely have a feedback system, that lets you suggest this to them... maybe suggest it then..

[vital oak]

i don’t think they’re constantly monitoring your physician brother, they’re probably very busy

[polar fern]

There’s no way to do that from my end. It’s only coming from the care providers end.

[harsh quartz]

Just ask the person at the desk “hey I’ve been waiting a while, do we know how long this is gonna take?”

[fossil frost]

also, if a blood test result is that critical that its this big of a deal, i would be prepared to wait the whole day to get the news, rather than walk out after 45 minutes without asking anyone and not know

[polar fern]

actually monitoring the schedule and seeing where things are is part of the job of the desk staff at 99% of medical offices

[harsh quartz]

Informing every single patient about the schedule of the doctor is not part of that tho

[vital oak]

There absolutely is not anything better to do at a medical office than check on some guys physician’s location

[polar fern]

Yeah, sadly, there’s no way to interact with them through the online Patient portal once you are checked in.

[mortal sundial]

Bro get a private doctor , that only takes 2-3 patient in a month.

[fossil frost]

not everyone can pay for a private doctor

they are expensive

[harsh quartz]

Go to a different medical practice

[fossil frost]

is that a thing in the USA? in the UK you HAVE to go to the nearest one to your home address

[polar fern]

My two best friends work in hospitals - one is in an emergency room nurse and the other one is a sonographer. my grandmother was a nurse and one of my other best friends is an army medic. I’m not stupid. I know how medical offices & doctors work. This is a new thing that didn’t happen ever before and it’s pissing me off because my time is basically booked from one hour to the next each day.

[fossil frost]

luckily for me, the one nearest to my home address is one of the better ones in the area

[calm swan]

yeah

[vital oak]

one day is busier than another.. IMPOSSIBLE…

[harsh quartz]

You insurance has to cover it or you’ll pay out of pocket, but yes, you do get a choice, so long as it’s in your “insurances network”

[fossil frost]

having people you know work in the medical industry, doesnt mean that you know anything other than anecdotal information about the medical industry...

[polar fern]

I already decided after my last appointment that I would be very likely seeking a different care provider. This just nails the point home.

[harsh quartz]

Then… what’s the issue here?

[mortal sundial]

Umm, he wants to get paid for his wasted time.

[vital oak]

he isn’t being paid for waiting for this so he’s unhappy

[harsh quartz]

I work with a lot of clinics for their IT, and it’s ALWAYS a pain trying to get time to work on anything they want us to cause they’re too busy seeing patients for us to interrupt :p

[fossil frost]

ah ok, fair enough.. for the hospital, we can pick and choose, but for your general practitioner doctor, you have to go where ever is the local one for your address... unless you pay for private care, which is super expensive... (yay free NHS care)

[polar fern]

Because I need to have a physician tell me what the results fucking mean.?I’m not a doctor. What are my next steps? What the fuck am I supposed to do differently to improve my numbers? Do I have hypothyroidism hyper thyroidism are my kidney numbersOK? What the fuck is going on … that’s all they had to do 15 fucking minute appointment. It’s not fucking rocket surgery. The fact that this is not the first time with this new doctor here at this practice that I’ve been at for the last 14 years tells me it’s time to move on.

[mortal sundial]

You should move on.

[fossil frost]

the SaaS software i work on is deployed in some hospitals, for incident reporting... there are certain parts of the system we just cant touch anymore, because of similar reasons, we cant force the hospitals to take the time to retrain staff, even for minor changes

[fossil frost]

like i said before, if the results are that critical, i would have taken a tent and a camp stove, and waited all night if i had to do

results cant be that important if you are willing to just walk out

[vital oak]

just because you’re angry about someone from a medical clinic being late doesn’t mean you should be paid for doing literally nothing lol

[polar fern]

I’m in my mid-40s this is important shit to see what the fuck is going on with me because I’ve had some very serious medical stuff happen to me since the beginning of the pandemic. I’m trying to do the responsible thing and take care of myself and this person can’t even be bothered to keep their patients updated on how long they’re gonna fucking wait. I’m fucking furious and pissed off at this. That’s why I’m saying they should pay me because they fucked up. All previous appointments of telehealth before this & last week were all on time and if they were running late, I got a notification immediately instead of after waiting after I checked in. I’m done talking about this. Holy shit.

[harsh quartz]

Anytime we have a network issue or anything it’s always a pain cause it either has to be done while they’re at lunch or gone for the day, so the issue doesn’t get fixed for hours

[vital oak]

brother is done talking about this

[polar fern]

It’s not the waiting that’s the problem. It’s the lack of information and the fact that you can’t understand. This is another reason why I’m done talking about it.

[fossil frost]

a lot of people have had serious medical issues since the start of the pandemic.. you know what they did when they had to wait for their super important life of death results... they waited, because those results are super important

[harsh quartz]

But… didn’t they get you the information about your blood after the wait?

[polar fern]

Well, it’s irrelevant now because I’m going to a different care provider

[vital oak]

brother was not done talking about this

[vital oak]

then why speak about this at all lol

[fossil frost]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-yells-at-cloud-yelling-old-man-news-the-simpsons-gif-17741451

[polar fern]

I have clothing in the washer that I don’t want to get moldy. I have dishes that I need to eat. What are they gonna do, come do my dishes for me after having to wait for them for my appointment? Breh

[vital oak]

lol

[vital oak]

doing your dishes while waiting:

[harsh quartz]

You eat your dishes?

[vital oak]

LOL

[polar fern]

I can’t because it’s a telehealth appointment using a WebCam and a completely different part of the house and if they see no one there they end the call

[fossil frost]

if waiting 45 minutes for your washing has made it go mouldy, that washing has already been waiting for a WHILE...

[vital oak]

didn’t even see that

[polar fern]

Shit dude blocked. Sorry, I can’t deal with this brick wall nonsense.

[vital oak]

Shit dude blocked.

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, 45 minutes is NOT a long time to let clothes sit

[fossil frost]

ive let them sit overnight in the washing machine, because ive forgotten, and they have been fine... because... its fine... 😄

[harsh quartz]

Warshipped

[fossil frost]

what is not fine, is the fart that my dog just did

[vital oak]

brother got warshipped

[mortal sundial]

same, though my wife roasted me about them.

[vital oak]

do you not have a phone.. or laptop… by the way

[polar fern]

I already know why they make me wait. It’s because I’m on Medicaid and they don’t make money off of me. They can all have a VERY nice time.

[vital oak]

they make negatives off of you because you insist you’re paid for waiting for a medical appointment

[harsh quartz]

Yep. You’re the only person that ever has to wait on medical staff. Emergency rooms definitely don’t usually have like 10+ hour waits or anything.

[polar fern]

Anyways, no in this area, the water is very lightly chlorinated and usually the detergent neutralizes that so if there’s anything in the water or in the washing machine that’s funky, it can very easily get in the clothing, especially because it’s a closed environment without air circulation. All it takes is about an hour and that’s about how long the clothing was sitting in there done ready for the dryer.

[mortal sundial]

Um , why do i feel like we are getting trolled now.

[fossil frost]

before the pandemic, A+E in my area was about... 2 hr wait. 2020 to 2023, it got to about 18 hours... its now back down to about 5 hours.. and that is now considered "good"... 😒

[vital oak]

take them out the 15 minutes before your appointment

[harsh quartz]

No, this is just how they are

[fossil frost]

because we are, they are a known troll

troll/attention seeker

[polar fern]

Troll yeah that’s hilarious

[mortal sundial]

Thanks for letting me know.

[lean lake]

@polar fern bush did 9/11, the moon landing was fake!!!

[harsh quartz]

Emergency room waits are wild over here, especially if you go in the middle of the night, might as well just go in the morning and have a nice sleep in between, it’ll get you in just as quick

[polar fern]

Please don’t confuse people being abusive in this discord for some sort of friendly advice

[harsh quartz]

I wouldn’t say troll. But that’s the only part I disagree with

[fossil frost]

middle of the night, as long as its a week day, are the quietest times here.. friday/saturday night... just hope you can survive until monday morning

[vapid smelt]

but your on medicaid so its free or low cost right? i pay for my insurance and still have to wait 20-40mins for my doctor even when im on time and i happily do so since she is great and thorough

[polar fern]

If I wanted to seek attention I wouldn’t do it on discord Jesus Christ

[dull wyvern]

💀

[fossil frost]

you are still doing it now, drawing attention to yourself, for no reason other than drawing attention to yourself... that is the very definition of attention seeking

[harsh quartz]

Thinking your the only person who deals with waiting for medical personnel or that they’re doing it to you specifically for some reason it wild

[polar fern]

All I said is that I should be paid for having The wait 45 minutes just to be told that they’re running late. Then yall went off the rails on tangent about medical offices, being busy.

[harsh quartz]

The first statement is the off the rails bit

[polar fern]

It’s called sarcasm. Holy shit.

[vital oak]

brother i think you went off the rails a bit

[mortal sundial]

sarcasm, where ?

[harsh quartz]

That card doesn’t work at this point, sorry

🖤

[polar fern]

Card?

[vapid smelt]

soon i can make my dnd battle mat

[fossil frost]

this is the same as saying something offensive... and then when people actually get offended... trying to back out of it with "im only joking"

[harsh quartz]

You could 3d print one instead

[polar fern]

I am one of the most sarcastic and goofy ass people on earth. I know this doesn’t translate well over flat formatted text but holy shit you should assume that I am just blowing off steam about something that pissed me off and not serious about being paid to wait.

I’m sorry I need my brain cells to recover

[fossil frost]

so do we

[polar fern]

You all really need to take a class in how to interpret sarcasm on the Internet ❤️

[harsh quartz]

My brother in Christ, no

[fossil frost]

to try and bring this back to something tangentially tech related... i cant watch Kentucky ballistics anymore... my dogs REALLY dont like scott for some reason... just it play on the latest video... and the dogs have just started growling at him 😄

[vapid smelt]

but what if he blows up more guns?!

[mortal sundial]

you can get urself frozen if you dont want to be.

[fossil frost]

i wanna see that... but my dogs really dont like him 😄

[vital oak]

brother is so goofy for asking to be paid to wait for a hospital appointment

[harsh quartz]

Never have understood the appeal of gun channels on YT

[vapid smelt]

we have emotes and /s for sarcasm through text

[harsh quartz]

Quirky*

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ9jA9Fa914 what about slow mo guns?

[fossil frost]

the ones that are simply review guns... not interested... the ones where they are effectively a comedian, and trying to get people to learn something by accident (scott's main thing is responsible ownership and use), they are ok

[glacial plank]

if someone wouldnt mind checking out my tech support convo that would be amazing

[harsh quartz]

SlowMoGuys I always love, especially gav from the RT days, ya know, when achievement hunter was good

[harsh quartz]

Like I never understood fpsrussia, or the whatever it is ranch

[fossil frost]

Dan is a trained ballistics and explosives expert with the british army

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but primarily he’s a dumbass

And I’m always there for a “dan the balloon guy” video

[fossil frost]

matt at demo ranch is just a right wing nutjob who's whole thing is "look at how rich i am and how many guns i have"

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/pop-off-balloon-gif-23382402

[fossil frost]

he plays the part of a dumbass quite well, hes actually very intelligent. you HAVE to be to get to where he was in the army

[harsh quartz]

You know what I mean, they’re both dumbasses in the correct way, like a lovable dumbass, not in the TC1 way

[vital oak]

the tc1 way lmfao

[fossil frost]

i would fall under a similar umbrella i think... well educated, job that requires use of various parts of intelligence every day... yet... i will go mountain biking in the woods, in the dark, throwing myself down the side of a mountain in the trees at 20mph with nothing more than a headtorch

because... its fun

[harsh quartz]

I won’t do that. But I’d climb inside a 5 foot water balloon on a trampoline cause why not

[fossil frost]

my wife would say.. im a moron and shouldnt be doing stupid things like that, that could kill me, when im almost 40

if you cant die doing it, its not as fun as you think it is 😄

[harsh quartz]

I never really grew into the appeal of bikes or ATVs, mostly I don’t know how to use a clutch, and don’t have enough disposable income to learn

[fossil frost]

mountain bike... as in, bicycle... no motors

[harsh quartz]

Oooo, if it has gears I’m still lost

Idk why I always associate mountain bike with dirt bike

(Probably cause we don’t have mountains here)

[fossil frost]

during covid, i broke both my thumbs on my moutain bike 😄

trying to do a front wheelie... went right over the bars on my first attempt, landed on the flat of my hands, snapped both of my thumbs

[vapid smelt]

so you couldnt stick a thumb in it

[harsh quartz]

I love the inclusion of Covid, despite 0 relevance, which makes it sound like it IS relevant somehow

[fossil frost]

thats all i could do, my thumbs were stuck in the thumbs up position

[fossil frost]

"during covid", is easier than saying "somewhere between early 2020, and late 2022, i cant quite remember, because the entirity of that time is 1 big blur"

[vital oak]

during covid

[harsh quartz]

Only sport I think I’d enjoy learning is maybe skiing or snowboarding, anything else just doesn’t sound interesting

[harsh quartz]

Oh I know, but it just really makes me think “that damn virus broke my thumbs”

[fossil frost]

tore my knee on my first attempt at snow boarding, never went back.. i would like to try again, but, not 100% ready to break my knee again 😄

[harsh quartz]

I think I’d be the one I might be able to handle. Biking would probably fuck me up, but I never really got a chance here cause it’s either 90+ and humid or 30 and raining

And I don’t do well in those temps

[fossil frost]

biking when its hot is awesome because fast movement, you are effectively generating your own wind to keep cool... and when its raining... thats just an excuse, i dont do excuses 🙂

[harsh quartz]

Even today when it’s “not bad” outside it’s still like 84 and humid as hell, better than last weeks 90s tho

[fossil frost]

ive cycled in -10c, when its snowing, still to this day, one of my favourite rides ive ever been on

ive ran in -5c, while icy on the road.. and to this day, one of my least favourite runs 😄 i hate running when its icy

lowest temp ive swam in was 9c water temp, and i almost died... so... not gonna do that again

[vital oak]

i’d rather eat a brick than live there lol

[fossil frost]

i have one dog who is sleeping on the sofa, all peaceful and nice... other dog is sleeping next to me, and is wagging his tail and running in his sleep

[dusky oyster]

lol i reset my phone while in a different country and i cant activate it until i go back home

[harsh quartz]

Where’s the cat

[fossil frost]

my old cat moved in with my ex-wife 4 years ago, when my ex-wife moved out and became my ex-wife

[harsh quartz]

Man, I was supposed to hear back from a job by the 15th, I ain’t heard shit 😦

[harsh quartz]

What about new cat?

[fossil frost]

so.. hes living with my ex-wife... and currently has early kidney problems

[harsh quartz]

Our cat had kidney issues, had to get them flushed and now he takes fancy UTI food

[fossil frost]

no more cats...

[fossil frost]

hes on "early renal food" now... expensive.. my ex said shes been told 1-3 years by the vet...

[lilac remnant]

hi

[vapid smelt]

a few years back i had to put my cat down with kidney failure it was that or iv him water ever day

[lilac remnant]

aww

[harsh quartz]

We use this, not super super expensive but more than the normal food

[lilac remnant]

my cat recently died from some desiese it apparently had for years but was hiding from us

[fossil frost]

she thought thats where the cat was heading towards, but turns out it was early enough in the kidney issues that medicated food is good enough for now. but she has said if it does get to that point, shes gonna have to go the same route

its not like hes young... hes 17

stereotypical grumpy old man too... he sits in the window all day, making angry noises at anyone who comes near the house

[vapid smelt]

my cat adopted me so i had no clue how old he was he just came to our back door and i smuggled him in

[fossil frost]

hes on this

[harsh quartz]

Got that fancy food

[fossil frost]

prescribed by the vet

[vapid smelt]

we just buy Costco cat food

[fossil frost]

he was always on tesco cat food before this... but vet said continuing to use it will kill him.. :S

[harsh quartz]

We used Sam’s food for the dog, and the cat requires this now, that comes from Walmart :p

Hi

[ocean mesa]

Is there an official video suggestion area?

https://shop.fibercommand.com/products/8k-fiberplug®-display-extender-dp-terminations-for-any-fiber-optic-cables

I would love to see them take a look at these. The only DP 2.1 fiber solution AFAIK.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it’s not in the discord cause no one cares about us. Except Dan

[pallid falcon]

I don't think I've seen Dan on in a long time

If ever

[harsh quartz]

No but BreadWan

In the bad ole days

I’m still pissed I didn’t know about bread plushies 😦

[pallid falcon]

We need kobold plushies

[harsh quartz]

There’s probably plenty of d&d plushies for you

[agile bay]

Need some beta testers for the weekend, if anyone would be willing to help

[fossil dirge]

Does anybody here agree with me that the PS5 Pro is a useless console

[pallid falcon]

_÷

[glass mural]

16K Up To 360Hz???????? Whaaaaa

[glass mural]

Isn’t like $700 AND it doesn’t have a disc drive

[ocean mesa]

No, it means it supports those resolutions, and up to 360hz refresh rate, but yeah worded poorly lol

[glass mural]

You can build a gaming PC and it will be far better

[fossil dirge]

Yup that’s what it just is

[glass mural]

Yeah I agree

[agile bay]

Download playnite and use a ps5 theme

[fossil dirge]

Exactly building a PC is better than getting a PS5

[glass mural]

Ain’t no way you can get 16K 360Hz through modern cables

As far as I’m aware

[ocean mesa]

Displayport 3.0 be like

[pallid falcon]

:3 I have news for you then

[fossil dirge]

I am chatting about the PS5 Pro on the Crunchyroll server and they said they would rather get a Switch or a base PS5 instead of building a PC

[ocean mesa]

Fiber can carry that much bandwidth, but there is no display interface that supports that much bandwidth lol

[agile bay]

A pc with a front end like “playnite” with a ps5 theme will be a lot better and cheaper. Plus have all the other consoles too

[glass mural]

What kind of weird cables can do that?

[ocean mesa]

1.26 terabits per second

aware

[glass mural]

Sounds about right

[fossil dirge]

Yup definitely a lot better

[agile bay]

Alsoooo some advantages that officials consoles won’t have

1. emulation support, better graphics and settings

2. Xbox 360 achievements work

3. custom achievements via retroarch

4. Nintendo switch custom achievements

5. any controller of our liking and mod supports

[fossil dirge]

Exactly a lot of better advantages than consoles

[pallid falcon]

One of them

[pallid falcon]

Why is there a pdf behind him

[glass mural]

Elaborate

[fossil dirge]

The Crunchyroll server is just toxic

[ocean mesa]

https://tenor.com/view/pdf-league-of-legends-jax-aatrox-hecarim-gif-18446642573564215929

[fossil dirge]

So many members are defending console gaming and they don’t want to realize that PC gaming is better

[pallid falcon]

Jokes on you all, I do both

[glass mural]

Crunchyroll fans when i go to a funny .to site:

Rip

[ocean mesa]

true same with windows users not realizing linux is better

[glass mural]

Noooo da XBOX is better at this compared to the PS5 noooo the PS5 is better at this than the XBOX

[harsh quartz]

Both are fine for different purposes

[glass mural]

It’s all some stupid argument PC gaming is objectively better

[left summit]

How does one Shorten "Chromebook"?

[fossil dirge]

I also do console gaming too but for consoles I do play Xbox I barely play my PS5 and Switch

[glass mural]

Cookbook

[fossil dirge]

My main platform is PC

[harsh quartz]

[ocean mesa]

[pallid falcon]

Chrmbk

[harsh quartz]

If money is no object, yes

[ocean mesa]

if money is an object I'd still get a budget PC

[fossil dirge]

Yup Crunchyroll fans don’t want to understand tech people

[harsh quartz]

Careful with that one

[glass mural]

Linus made a video of him making a PC that beat the PS5

[ocean mesa]

gigachad putting a 6800XT in an office pc

[glass mural]

I had a one month free subscription to crunchyroll and the UI and basically everything about it was so bad I just stoped trying to

[fossil dirge]

I actually agree with you Crunchyroll is still buggy

What’s surprising is that they’re owned by Sony

[glass mural]

Yeah that probably has something to do with it

Crunchyroll is just something for Sony to advertise to investors

Oh yeah we also own an anime streaming service

[pallid falcon]

Is it..?

Fck sony

[glass mural]

With how little they care about feedback that’s what it feels like

[harsh quartz]

IIRC, That video was a clusterfuck, and I wouldn’t have called it a better experience

[fossil dirge]

Sony is just a monopoly

[glass mural]

Yeah he got lots of stuff used and some of those deals aren’t even possible

[harsh quartz]

It’s… not?

[glass mural]

Look at Samsung

[fossil dirge]

And they do a lot of shitty things to PlayStation

[harsh quartz]

And still went over budget. And just “oh look we have peripherals” that were not included in the budget

[glass mural]

Most console gamers are just gonna use their TV

[pallid falcon]

Google..

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, a pc gamer might not

[glass mural]

If they revisited that it could probably be done better

[fossil dirge]

Sony just ruins everything Crunchyroll sucks and not making a lot of games for PS5

At least there’s Sentai Filmworks and their streaming service HIDIVE

[harsh quartz]

700$ + stand + disk drive would put you at 800, you could probably do much better with 800, but still, that’s not the point of buying a ps5. A ps5 is easy, it just works.

I’ll stick to using redacted for my anime

[cursive geyser]

Plex/Jellyfin is king.

[harsh quartz]

If you have the money and space to set one up, sure

[glass mural]

Yeah I agree consoles are a great option for people who just want to plug in some cables and game but if you want more performance for your money that budget gaming PC is an option

If they made a PC to compete against the PS5 Pro that would be interesting

Linus do it :)

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, or you could buy a used ps5 when people buy the ps5 pro

[cursive geyser]

I don't really understand the PC vs. [console here] debates. I mean, yeah, PCs are objectively more powerful.

But... PCs can't play certain console games, and that's the point of consoles, so...

I leave it to people buy what they want to play the games they want.

Easy.

[harsh quartz]

They can tho…

What console games can’t a pc play?

[cursive geyser]

Believe me, I know. Heh heh.

[glass mural]

Sony paying game devs to keep their games PS5 exclusive:

[harsh quartz]

“Where’s your exclusivity now bitch”

[fossil dirge]

Well PC gaming is better than console gaming I know people just want something simple so they choose console but PC gaming is 10x better

[cursive geyser]

No, that's just my point, though. I prefer console, mostly. It's a preference thing.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, fuck the whole nuanced conversation and just your right they’re wrong

[glass mural]

Nooooo you can’t just add the only reason I bought a PS5 to steam that’s not fair!

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

[harsh quartz]

My coworker. Literally.

[glass mural]

Simplicity can be great

[cursive geyser]

I've emulated for years, man. There's nothing like playing on original hardware, though. GBA, Wii, 3DS, etc.

Flash carts and modded consoles are great.

[hot tartan]

Happy they are bringing PS5 exclusives to PC, some of my favorite games I have ever played

[harsh quartz]

I really like my pc. But I also wanna lay in bed and play. Steamdeck.

[glass mural]

I do feel genuinely bad for the people who bought a PS5 for an exclusive they added to steam like 1 year later

[harsh quartz]

I don’t. Fuck them kids

[glass mural]

Steamdeck 😍

[cursive geyser]

Ooh, I'm still considering getting a Steamdeck...

[hot tartan]

Console is great for college life especially. Fun to be able to just all play with 4 controllers in the same room

[cursive geyser]

Good performance, GCN/Wii, and affordable. Not bad at all.

[glass mural]

Please slap a /j on that

[harsh quartz]

Z2 extreme just got announced, so steamdeck 2 MIGHT be on the horizon.

[cursive geyser]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.

[harsh quartz]

I have no sympathy for people that buy into an ecosystem.

[cursive geyser]

I don't have time to keep up with all the tech news, although I try.

[glass mural]

So no sympathy for console players ok got it

[harsh quartz]

It’s a MIGHT, full speculation, but the z1 extreme is what powered the rog ally and the legion go, so I imagine the new chip will have at least a refresh for the mobile devices

[cursive geyser]

Fair (I'm looking at you, Apple people).

[glass mural]

[harsh quartz]

Hey, Samsung and Google have the same bullshit now, apples at least goes to more than just your phone

[glass mural]

Speaking of Apple give us some more customization

[fossil dirge]

I actually love playing my Steam Deck I just played Persona on it

[glass mural]

I want custom folder colors

[fossil dirge]

I would like for Apple to add that

[glass mural]

(I know android can do that)

[harsh quartz]

Hate to break it to you but steamdeck is a console

[grim belfry]

Use an android if you want to make your phone ugly

[fossil dirge]

True it’s a Linux based console that can play PC games

I do have my custom build that I play my games on

[cursive geyser]

I still maintain the fact that gaming is all about games. Doesn't matter what platform you play it on, as long as you like it. Like what you like, play what you play.

[glass mural]

Nah I want it so I can make all my app folders #000000

[grim belfry]

Exactly. Ugly.

[harsh quartz]

Counterpoint, virtualboy

[glass mural]

It would work perfectly

[cursive geyser]

An exception to the rule, true.

[harsh quartz]

Also counterpoints, YouTube and Netflix gaming

[cursive geyser]

Dude. We're talking about "real gaming." Those don't even apply. :P

[harsh quartz]

You said it didn’t matter, I’m saying that’s a VERY general statement 🙂

[glass mural]

I’d also like it if Apple let you chose custom hex codes for app icon colors

[cursive geyser]

Sorry for not being precise with my words. The exceptions are the virtualboy, YouTube, and Netflix gaming (didn't know Netflix had that). (Throw Apple games in there as well).

I was general because we were talking about consoles and PC's beforehand.

[grim belfry]

Email Tim Cook

[cursive geyser]

It's not really the lack of customization that bugs me anymore, it's the fact that Apple is so anti-right-to-repair.

I got a new phone last week. Got an iPhone SE 2022. Other than the lack of physical home button and missing headphone jack, it's great.

However, I replaced the battery, and I have a settings notification that won't shut up that my battery has been replaced. Won't show me the battery capacity. It's just blank.

It won’t be a response from Tim Cook, but it’ll be a response

[grim belfry]

No, a real person :)

[pallid falcon]

I once got a response to a email I sent to [e-mail]

I think I literally sent a email to say happy new year or some shit because i thought it was funny

[warm shell]

Alright boys, I have a 3700x, should I upgrade too a Ryzen 9 5950X for 329.00?

[hot tartan]

Meh

If just gaming no

[warm shell]

sad

what about for AI voice?

my software doesnt like my 6800 so it doesnt use the GPU, just the CPU

[agile bay]

I use my pc on tv, it’s a like a console replacer.

However the consoles gui and tweaks do make them special

[wispy marsh]

Hello

[tepid jasper]

get a better gpu

[eager notch]

You mean Tim Apple

[eager notch]

Chances are he needs a CUDA capable GPU

[rapid nebula]

hi

[slim kindle]

Hello guys

does someone knows how to remove air bubbles from Aio pump?

[covert cradle]

You can't get rid of the air in a sealed loop. Just ensure the resevoir is at the highest position in the loop so that the air bubble doesn't get in the tubing/pump

[solemn narwhal]

Hey, I am 13 Currently and I Just saved up enough money to make my first mini Itx Pc, Do you guys know any mini itx cases that can fit a Rog Strix 4080 Super?

[pulsar violet]

My ISP legit said move my laptop closer to my modem cause thats the issue with my internet becuase of latency/packet loss and all that im suffering from... funny part is its WIRED and still saying move it closer wired to the 20 port gigabit switch while my network is 75d/10u, Telus sucks

[covert cradle]

If you can access the diag page of the modem, you can just directly point out the high error rates on the PHY that are probably the root of the problem

[pulsar violet]

oh alr, main things is like my dad plays vr and issues, i play val, fn, any game and stability issues

Where would I find it?

[wispy marsh]

I do not want to guide you through this but I have a solution for you

Hello

[sturdy moth]

For vm usage/heavy workloads: YES
Gaming: NO

[warm shell]

Thank tou!

[sturdy moth]

No problem

[warm shell]

you*, i do both. so i wanted to make sure

[sturdy moth]

So, if you do both then yeah, can definitely have a profit when going to 5950x. As of today, it's a beast which is not slowing down

[covert cradle]

It appears to be split across a few pages if the manual I found is still accurate. Line 1/2 status and interface statistics

[warm shell]

just confirming, you are referencing the ryzen 9 5950x?

[sturdy moth]

Yes

[warm shell]

Thank you!

Is it worth it at that price

like will it give me 329$ worth of performance

[sturdy moth]

329? It's a cool price

[warm shell]

awesome

[sturdy moth]

But new or used?

[warm shell]

new

[sturdy moth]

Go for it

[dusty stone]

What are we talking about here?

[warm shell]

a ryzen 9 5950x

https://www.microcenter.com/product/674524/Ryzen_9_5950X_Vermeer_34GHz_16-Core_AM4_Boxed_Processor_-_Heatsink_Not_Included

that

[sturdy moth]

@warm shell wants to change his 3700x on 5950x

[wispy marsh]

Gaming?

[dusty stone]

Ohh ok, nice upgrade

I got my 7950X3D from Microcenter last week for $401

[sturdy moth]

For the strict gaming 5800x3d ftw

[warm shell]

i do mainly gaming, but i do live AI voices, and the software i use doesnt use my GPU as it only likes Cuda

[covert cradle]

oh, and first level support probably will still hassle you because they're usually script readers. They won't be able to recognize that's an issue on their end.

[sturdy moth]

Steal

[warm shell]

is that AM5?

[sturdy moth]

Yes

[warm shell]

neat!

[dusty stone]

Yeah Microcenter is amazing. Been shopping there for 30 years (yes I am old)

[warm shell]

im very happy with my AM4 build because the newest game i play is sniper elite 5 lol, but mainly War thunder, and Planetside2

[dusty stone]

We bought our house in 2020 due to its proximity to Microcenter lol

[raven pelican]

fun fact

Zen 3 is as old now as the 7700K was when Alder Lake launched.

[dusty stone]

It was one of the factors I should say

[pliant karma]

lol I might only have started shopping there around 2020 but I am there too frequently
