i just bought 2 cisco AIR-CAP26021-E-K9 and i dont know how to config them. I go to the IP and nothing. Does it need a certian device ? like a special switch?

[strange elk]

Got audio but no stream, both are on Linux and I have 400 down 2ms latency on my client on the 5G band (LMDE), source is 500 linear hardwired (Linux Mint)

[wary dock]

The manual should probably have a way to factory reset and initial setup steps.

[tender vapor]

got no manual got them second hand

[wary dock]

Cisco website will have them.

[fresh sorrel]

I looked it up, you need to access the AP over SSH

[tender vapor]

so its not a web interface?

[fresh sorrel]

no

The CAP in the model number says that it was shipped from Cisco with the controller based software image. So you don't configure via a GUI. You can change the image from the controller to the autonomous image. You would need a CCO account to download the new image though.

[tender vapor]

do i have to pay for the image ?

[fresh sorrel]

Might need to use the console port

[tender vapor]

Were do i find that ?

[fresh sorrel]

where all the ports are on it

[tender vapor]

like the ethernet ports ?

[full fossil]

anyone know what song this is https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ivmXwP1NcEE

[tender vapor]

it doesnt say any open ports on my isps web. its shit icl

[fresh sorrel]

id have to look later but basically you need to try and find the right file online since you do need to pay for the firmware, which is a challenge on its own

[tender vapor]

i need to learn how to connect to the bleedin thing first 🤣

[wary dock]

you're gonna need the manual.

afaik

[tender vapor]

it doesnt say

[wary dock]

The manual doesn't have setup instructions? Dang Cisco, wtf.

Maybe they expect people to pay for on site tech support.

Like McDonalds ice cream machines. mfs

[strange elk]

Fuck I guess sunshine it is..

[wary dock]

What's wrong with sunshine? I've been loving it for VR streaming.

[strange elk]

Just a pain to set up and I hardly ever use it

[wary dock]

Ah gotcha.

[strange elk]

I use steamlink for VR which runs just fine, just can't get a video here for some reason

[wary dock]

Are you looking to stream VR games on twitch or somewhere?

[strange elk]

No, just play desktop games on a different pc

I could stream to twitch just fine if I wanted, thats worked too

[wary dock]

Did you try 'play together' on that machine to see if it works? Or is it the same issue?

[strange elk]

Idk what that even is

[wary dock]

Not that GTA has play together.

[harsh quartz]

Tried putty?

[wary dock]

Play Together is a multiplayer option on steam that lets a remote PC play local multiplayer games. I assume it uses steamlink in the back.

[tender vapor]

tried putty and cmd

[harsh quartz]

Tried Telnet through putty? I had one recent that didn’t accept ssh but took Telnet

[tender vapor]

yeh i tried it all is there a certian port i need to use ?

[harsh quartz]

If it doesn’t work with the default port then no idea, would be vendor specific if there is anything though

[tender vapor]

its flashing different colours. And there not in the manual could that mean anything?

[strange elk]

Idk how to initialize that, its the same account

[harsh quartz]

I mean, I’m sure it means something to someone

[elder robin]

this is: Chopin, Nocturne Op 9 No 2

[harsh quartz]

Were you able to factory default them?

[tender vapor]

yeh

holding mode until amber

[harsh quartz]

Idk then. It says you should be able to do it via web interface or serial connection

[tender vapor]

i dont have a serial connector

[full fossil]

thank you!

[tender vapor]

it is flashing red. after flashing

[harsh quartz]

Yeah idk

[tender vapor]

this is hurting my head

[harsh quartz]

Yeah. It’s Cisco.

[tender vapor]

ok i tried a Different AP. and i have it solid green after flashing. and i still cant connect

[strange elk]

Moonlight isnt even detecting my pc on the same network

Where's the knife

[wary dock]

This is a wired connection?

[strange elk]

Bout to stab this fucking clementine ass streamer

Nah pc isnt in the same room

Tried enabling upnp even

[dapper arch]

when will be avalaible win version 24H2?

[graceful burrow]

Put that into google

[velvet marsh]

What's 24n2?

[dapper arch]

sorry 24H2

[velvet marsh]

No official release date as far as I can see

[dapper arch]

but these updates usually realeses around october

[wary dock]

Discord should add a feature where you can right click on a question and have AI answer it in chat.

[silver sun]

264

[graceful burrow]

God no

Most of them that come in have asked chatgpt already anyway and wouldn't you know it
They have the wrong info from chatgpt every time they've asked

Who could have guessed!

[prime solstice]

I think if discord did that they would lock it behind nitro

[sage quiver]

It'd be disabled here if it existed

[wary dock]

Ive had good luck with AI answers on Google and ChatGPT. Though I wonder if that's because I know how to vet the answers.

[graceful burrow]

Discord has a built in search in Google right click option and I doubt most people who come through here even knows what it does

That's the caliber of person that comes through here

[wary dock]

Really? I would have assumed all these messages are being processed right now for CSAM.

Ah gotcha.

[covert forum]

I might get a chromebook+

[gilded quest]

is everything you do in a web browser

[wary dock]

as an opt-in feature. it personally wouldn't bother me.

[covert forum]

it mainly is nowadays or an android app

[gilded quest]

yeah chromebooks are fine for most laptop users tbh

[covert forum]

I also sort of want to try one out for teaching

[wary dock]

That's probably all impl details. Could have the 'reader' trigger a prompt on a question for OP to auto complete an answer. "Would you like to see how google answers your question? y/n?"

kinda like LMGTFY, but inline text everybody gets to read rather than a new browser window.

inline would probably be beneficial. since it might take experts to spot hallucinations.

not free in the sense of compute?

Local inference would be nice. More private. I don't know how much vram something like those mini LLMs take.

federated inference was also a hot topic a few years ago. wrt privacy and security.

iirc

[safe wren]

Hi

[wary dock]

Dang.

Discord predicts gender?

I'd be curious what they predicted for me 🥸

[pallid falcon]

Jokes on discord, I don't do gender.

[wary dock]

cassgender represent

Hmph. Doesn't seem like I have that json on my machine.

[pallid falcon]

What

[wary dock]

Ah good ol privacy farmers. It's not much, but its dishonest work.

[wary dock]

I'm no expert. But I believe 'not doing gender' is known as cassgender.

[pallid falcon]

Mm okay I dont keep up with that stuff sometimes sorry.

[dapper canopy]

Can anyone please help me and suggest a cheap alternative for dell pen pn5122w

[wary dock]

No worries. Your statement made me remember it.

[pallid falcon]

Yeah I just am me I don't research that stuff a lot. All i know is I'm a kobold goober

[strange elk]

I think I hate lizardbyte

Jesus christ what a mess.

[wary dock]

I wish they open sourced Stadia. Though it might have been pretty hardware specific wrt game builds.

[strange elk]

I wish this would just work. I dont understand why it cant

[tired glade]

So,remote controlled PC, you say

[wary dock]

Specifically their streaming stack. I assume its better than teamviewer lol.

[tired glade]

So, just like PS now,but for PC

[wary dock]

Basically lizardbyte

[tired glade]

Remote controlled PC will be better

[strange elk]

If it actually worked Id agree :/

I got it to work a total of one time ever

[severe breach]

A lot of 4th quarter rumors... any dates announced for tech launch events soon?

[tired glade]

Most likely like just 200-series

[wary dock]

There was a good reddit thread for optimal sunshine/moonlight settings for low latency VR. I used that and its been pretty solid for me. Did you try changing your desktop and game resolution to the same thing. maybe turn off HDR, force 60hz or something.

[wary dock]

What are the rumors?

[strange elk]

Disabled firewall now I have a black screen with steam link

[strange elk]

I can't even connect to the pc

[tired glade]

Everything indicated that CES will be huge

[wary dock]

Time to bust out the 100ft network cable for a sanity check.

[strange elk]

Dont have one

[wary dock]

yet* 🙂

[strange elk]

Till my dad gets home at the very least, if I even decide to say a word to him. If I dont get this shit working before then

[severe breach]

Only Blackwell, RDNA 4, Arrow Lake, X3D, possibly a Switch 2. Some are rumored for Q1 but might see a paper launch before the holidays.

[wary dock]

No Steamdeck 2? 😦

[gilded quest]

since when is valve known for quick product cycles?

[wary dock]

I upgraded my rig this year. So I have to wait another 5 years before hardware releases give me the fizz.

[tired glade]

Valve hadn't even hinted

[strange elk]

Since when is valve known for product cycles

[wary dock]

I mean. Its not Steamdeck 3 yet. I have faith.

[tired glade]

What's Blackwell?

[severe breach]

No I think the last rumor I heard about that was 2025, and it's up in the air if that would be a Steam Deck 2, Valve Deckard, or both.

[gilded quest]

steam deck started shipping in what, 2022?

[wary dock]

Is Deckard their next VR thing?

[severe breach]

yeah

[gilded quest]

I'd say steam deck 2 not until late 2025, probably 2026

[wary dock]

So you're saying I should just buy the LCD one on sale right now?

[severe breach]

Personally I'm more interested in Steam OS than any future hardware plans.

[tired glade]

If we lucky and they won't refresh steam deck with something like 120hz display

[severe breach]

yeah or OLED is nice too

[wary dock]

im holding out hope my req for a dev kit will go through.

[severe breach]

OLED is 90 Hz and plays 2D games at 90 fps+, older 3D games at a locked 45 fps.

[wary dock]

OLED is probably out of my budget. But I'll probably need to get something for testing and "Deck Verified" cert.

[severe breach]

Steam Deck is praised for battery life and to me it's still kind of short in that area. Whatever they do, I hope they don't compromise in that area.

I'm not trying to play AAA games on my Steam Deck anyway

[wary dock]

There isn't a good charging backpack?

[severe breach]

idk, I prefer to keep it minimalist

[gilded quest]

its better than some of the windows alternatives that have half the battery life

[severe breach]

If I wanted to add more to it I'd just get a laptop

[gilded quest]

but other handheld makers are learning from the mistakes of the first releases; i.e., ROG Ally X

[severe breach]

there is 0 reason to get those windows alternatives over a laptop IMO

[wary dock]

A steamdeck thin client would be nice for steamlink. If they could do < $100 with an OLED.

[gilded quest]

im not gonna game on a laptop on the bus

I don't think any of the handhelds replace a laptop if you need a laptop to do laptop things

[wary dock]

I don't know how beefy a soc needs to be to decode and display 90hz hdr at native.

[gilded quest]

I am not a fan of windows on a handheld tho
steamOS just works

[gilded quest]

mid range phone chips do this these days

probably even low end now

[severe breach]

I'm not gonna play God of War Ragnarok for 30 minutes on the bus to work either. Just get a Steam deck and play vampire survivors or some shit.

or play on my phone

I also love that most of the people who make the bus argument probably never ride the bus

it's definitely not worth paying twice as much to play a cinematic experience on a tiny screen

in a loud public area

[mild torrent]

just figured out that the back of the scribedriver works as a stylus

[gilded quest]

its just an example
i just mean there are lots of situations where a laptop can be a bit large or clunky to use

but unless I had a really long commute, I'd just watch videos or use discord on my phone when i take the train

[severe breach]

but these people who want to actually do that can just get one of those foldable laptops and a bluetooth controller and get a cheaper and better experience than a ROG Ally X with a bigger battery especially if they plan on being plugged into the wall for those top performance numbers.

[wary dock]

everybody rides sky buses more or less right? 🛫

[severe breach]

I used to be able to afford that

lol

It depends on the person if they do it all the time

for me it is rare enough that I can just find something else to do

like download a few podcasts and go to sleep

which is probably what i'd do anyway even if I had my Steam Deck

being smushed between people on a plane is not the time I really care to play a game

I've brought other things before and I normally realize that I don't really care to do that thing, just not in the mood

[gilded quest]

i mostly use my steam deck in bed when I have a little extra time in the evening

[severe breach]

same

[gilded quest]

in my previous apartment I'd sit on my patio and play civ with it

but this summer was a little warmer than last year

[severe breach]

my wife hates when I stay up late and don;t go to bed with her. I talk myself into taking my "me time" with me to bed early on the steam deck, but tbh when I lay down my body knows it's time to sleep, so I don;t normally last long with the steam deck..

still a fun way to play though

There are games I normally hate playing if it's not on the steam deck

like games with a lot of text and no narration

steam deck is a far better e-reader than my computer screen

[severe breach]

My point is that a performance-centric mobile device like the ROG Ally X should remain in its own niche for people who think they want to play God of War Ragnarok on the bus. You know, until they do it and then realize the game is so much better on desktop. I think it is a good thing that Steam Deck does not try to be that thing, and instead focuses on being able to play the rest of your Steam library for as long as possible. You know, like the countless older and 2D indie games in your backlog.

[harsh quartz]

Or it could get the better chip and just have lower power modes

[graceful burrow]

I just play older games on my steam deck ezpz

Emulation beast

[severe breach]

It's also a killer emulation device, but I haven't tried using it for that yet.

yeah

Well a newer chip could just mean longer battery life too. Some are speculating it will use AMD's Z2 just for economies of scale, which makes sense.

[harsh quartz]

I mean, I don’t see why it wouldn’t

[graceful burrow]

I honestly don't even really want a more powerful chip in my handheld pc

[gilded quest]

I think the ZX Extreme has too much CPU

[graceful burrow]

I'd rather have oled at the same resolution
Which exists

[harsh quartz]

Or, both

[graceful burrow]

At the cost of battery life

Pass

[harsh quartz]

Toss it in a lower power mode

[graceful burrow]

Then what's the point

[severe breach]

I'd like to see it have VRR and a higher refresh. I'd say higher resolution too, except I find I am quite happy with the 800p display at this size. 1080p could help with some compatibility issues though.

[harsh quartz]

Options. The people who want the higher performance profile came use it, or if your don’t want it, turn it down

[pliant karma]

ngl been considering a steamdeck so might actually get one for how often I could be playing some of my games on the go while on vacation or just chilling on campus.

[gilded quest]

I'd like VRR, 120Hz would be cool but I can settle for 90Hz, 800p is fine; just use a good quality OLED panel

[harsh quartz]

Steamdeck would be cool, legion go could also be cool

[graceful burrow]

Or I can pay much less for a chip that gives me exactly what i want instead of paying more and then having to fiddle with power controls

[harsh quartz]

I don’t figure them using the ryzen Z chips would make it a lot more expensive

[graceful burrow]

How much more is an ally

[severe breach]

I think the Lenovo Legion Go is the best of all the handhelds right now. I mean, it's a bit large and dragged down by Windows, but I like it as a concept more than the others.

[harsh quartz]

Okay, but it’s also ROG, not exactly known for passing along good prices

[graceful burrow]

Pass either way
Steam deck plays ps2 games for like 3-4 hours

That's gr8

[pliant karma]

options soon when I decide on that lol. Oh yea soo I pulled out my old poratble ac I had in storage since May when I got my new one, sucker leaked all the compressor fluid everywhere while in storage so it is def dead now

I was questioning why there was this yellow oily fluid on the floor until it hit me.

[severe breach]

Sure they do, as long as it's their entry-level gaming "ROG Strix" brand

[graceful burrow]

Oo! Oo! I know!

[gilded quest]

steam deck 2 wish list: 4x Zen5, 12x RDNA4
24GB on package LPDDR5X

[severe breach]

Nobody passes along good prices for a flagship product

but those are generally also low margin

[harsh quartz]

Steamdeck :p

[severe breach]

If you got the 1TB OLED it's not cheap

[pliant karma]

tbf the fan function still works so it can still be used as that. Not to mention any seal/plastic bit that was hold back condensation from leaking disintegrated and some rust has developed.

[crisp notch]

im not them but im lisening

[severe breach]

Still cheaper than a PS5 Pro, lol

[graceful burrow]

Compressor oil

[crisp notch]

those use a separate oil?

[graceful burrow]

The actual refrigerant evaporated away, since that's what it does

[graceful burrow]

Compressors have basically an oil sump

[crisp notch]

ah

[graceful burrow]

It's why if you tip a compressor you need to let it sit for a while before using it

[pliant karma]

and in poratble acs they're hermetically sealed so once it is dead it is dead, no recharging the refrigerant minus some units allowing you to do that.

[graceful burrow]

Pretty much

[vapid smelt]

My customers are shocked that we are not allowed to lay a full sized fridge in their van/SUV/ truck with a dumb fucking shell

[full fossil]

hi guys. if i have nearby device scanning off and need to approve for a device to pair to my phone, is my bluetooth secure? the earphones im using are running bluetooth 5.4 if that helps

[pliant karma]

That one uses R32 refrigerant, obtainable but dangerous to handle as is.

[graceful burrow]

There's a reason they use butane now

[crisp notch]

what?

[severe breach]

1TB OLED Steam Deck and access to you Steam library on the go with option to buy many previously exclusive Playstation games (arguably even the best ones)
vs
PS5 Pro + stand + disk drive + controllers + PSN sub + games (mostly full price)
Hmmm...

No wonder nobody wants a PS5 Pro

Not that there are even any PS5 games worth mentioning, lol. Sony needs a reality check.

[lime nova]

Friends, you are very smart and handsome.

[severe breach]

I would like to see a Steam Deck 2 have a docked mode though, similar to the Switch.

[pliant karma]

oh that is fun my curent GE unit uses R32 also.

[vapid smelt]

Always good practice

[pliant karma]

Before. But hot take from me if you're going from nvidia to nvidia/amd to amd I don't do ddu unless the gpu is really old and is not supported anymore. But full on platform switching yes DDU without a doubt. I just see it like that lol.

[harsh quartz]

It can display out via a dock, but it doesn’t like, change performance mode or resolution AFAIK

Aight. There’s a lot of bullshit Microsoft does that’s annoying, but who the fuck thought it was a good idea to add reacting to emails with emojis as a feature

[pure knoll]

Ikr lol

Gmail has it too

[harsh quartz]

Microsoft even blocks the emojis for security reasons. So you just get a shitty email that said “so and so reacted to your message” and it doesn’t even show the reaction cause it blocks the image

What is the difference between the samsung 990 pro and evo?

[fossil frost]

https://www.google.com/search?q=What+is+the+difference+between+the+samsung+990+pro+and+evo%3F

discord isnt google

[viscid elm]

in short, dramless

[potent oxide]

I know man i saw a few reviews and i m confused. It says that the 990 pro is pcie gen 4 but the evo is gen 5

[viscid elm]

gen 5 X2 or changes to pcie 4 X4 when in a pcie 4 slot

[potent oxide]

Ahhh got it

[viscid elm]

but do not go samsung

in the US the MP44L is a GREAT m.2 for everything with a low price but great performance

[potent oxide]

I wanna go samsung cuz the rma process is easier here

[fossil frost]

gen5 is super irrelevant right now too.. honestly, unless you do things like running a heavily used database... gen4 is irrelevant too

[potent oxide]

I m not in the US

[viscid elm]

UK?

[viscid elm]

well you do not need to RMA it

[pliant karma]

yep ironcally been something I have been doing more now with the large media files after shoots I am dumping out from the external drives into my system

[fossil frost]

the only reason i have a gen4x4 980 pro, is for built in hardware encryption support (that is also a fucking nightmare to set up, but thats the same for any drive that supports it)

[fossil frost]

having a drive that you can write to at 7000mb/s, is pointless, if you can only read from the external drives at 1000 😄

[potent oxide]

Nah

[viscid elm]

where?

[pliant karma]

but I had a 980 pro then 990 evo for a short while and recently changed to the 990 pro

but yea most of the file transfers happen the moment things are on my system

[upper bison]

Can I package a pc with bubble wrap inside if the graphics card is taken out

[viscid elm]

well if the gpu is out their is no real need to put bubble wrap inside

[pliant karma]

Gotta love the massive files from blackmagic, RED, and some other cameras shooting RAW.

[viscid elm]

unless you forgot to put in a lot of screws

[fossil frost]

depends on the size of the cooler, i would still want that supported

[viscid elm]

i need sleep, i forgot about air coolers |:

[upper bison]

Still, maybe ram sticks can start moving or whatever, just asking, and if it can still causes static, what else should I use I can't buy anything rn

[viscid elm]

is the pc going in the car or shipped?

[upper bison]

Shipped

[fossil frost]

if your ram sticks have come out during shipping, its likely that it was shipped by having a horse kick it along the ground the entire way...

[upper bison]

So what should I use for the inside lad

[fossil frost]

dont call people lad, it makes you sound like you are being disrespectful

[upper bison]

Yeah let me just change my entire vocabulary I grew up with

[fossil frost]

ita basic respect, if you cant be arsed to show it, you are gonna have a bad time

[upper bison]

How is calling someone a lad disrespectful

[fossil frost]

its condescending, implying youth or inexperience. "lad" also implies a certain aggressive tone, and it also implies that the person saying it is better than the person being spoken to. especially when you have no idea of the ages of the people you are speaking to

[upper bison]

If you get offended getting called young, you have different issues

And are now being a smartass

[fossil frost]

tbh, how you are acting now is only confirming that you were being condescending and aggressive

[upper bison]

No you just wasted my time and now I'm slightly annoyed, lad wasn't meant to be insulting

[fossil frost]

how was i wasting your time? i was the one that said i would put packing material in no matter what because of the cooler... and if the ram sticks were to come loose, no amount of packing material would have fixed that, because for that to happen, its been dropkicked out of an aeroplane

[upper bison]

So what should I pack it with

I don't have anti static bags or bubble wrap, only normal bubble wrap and some cardboard

[fossil frost]

bubble wrap is fine, pack it quite tightly, but not overly tightly

[upper bison]

Can't it cause static

[fossil frost]

ive never known it to do, but it is possible, which is why the antistatic bubble wrap exists

but, ive vacuumed out my pc many many times, which is also supposed to cause static, and i have always been fine

ive connected power incorrectly in the past, and its been fine 😄

lol

[fossil frost]

your local supermarket, or post office (or whatever is the regional version of the post office where you are), should have something you can buy in person tomorrow

[ionic abyss]

u tube putting old videos up does that meen i watched to much utube?"

[upper bison]

Can I use cardboard to stuff the pc case

I have a lot of it, and I just covered a layer of anti static from the motherboard box and put it on the motherboard

[fossil frost]

cardboard is much less likely to cause static... like, super unlikely

[upper bison]

I can stuff it with cardboard, and I have this one packing material which came with some pc parts, I can show you in DMS cuz I don't have img perms, and you can tell me if it conducts or not

[fossil frost]

dry cardboard isnt conductive

[upper bison]

I'm not talking about cardboard rn

[long briar]

I've seen brown paper being used

I don't recommend it as it can leave dust behind

your local post office I can guarantee has some packing foam

[wary dock]

Not sure if anyone said this, but you might want to unmount your gpu for the trip.

its not my website, its medium.com, i just quickly put an AI generated article together and posted it on medium, to give it an air of credibility, since actual real news gets posted on medium

[vapid smelt]

Real news is posted on Reddit and Twitter

[winter sundial]

I’ll report back what my parents think about it

[fossil frost]

i dont need to post my website here anyway, i posted a link to an article i actually wrote about copilot, and posted it on r/programming... thinking i would get 20-30 views.. and feel good about myself that i even got that

[harsh quartz]

You forgot Facebook

[pallid falcon]

Oo what did you say

[fossil frost]

i ended up getting over half a million views, thousands of comments, and x-posted to theprimeagen, who read it out on stream and then made a vod about it too, largely agreeing with me 😄

[upper bison]

I just did styrofoam on top, then anti static bag I just used from the motherboard box, then some cardboard, can I now just stuff it with bubble wrap or no

[winter sundial]

Okay my mom (53) passed & called it out & my dad (67) failed & said it might be true

[fossil frost]

tbh, 50/50 was what i thought it would end up being.. its clearly bullshit... if you stop and look at it for more than half a second. but a lot of people dont... i could have made it much more convincing with a bit more prompt tweaking

[manic torrent]

The thing is, in 2024, without corroboration and/or attribution, I don't believe shit anymore.

[winter sundial]

I’m gonna try again tomorrow & hopefully my parents start to pass consistently cuz woof

Old people are a curse. Imagine being old

@graceful burrow I'm gonna shoot a roll with the new hood and lens and if it still does that light leak stuff I'm getting it resealed already bought a kit of them

Nice boom stick

[harsh quartz]

Anytime someone sends me a video I’m always looking for tell-tell signs of it being generated now. One specific one I had to look at closely recently but it was political so I won’t say what it was :p

[fossil frost]

ive always opperated on "its bullshit unless proven otherwise" 😄

[harsh quartz]

For shooting. The other ones also for shooting.

[vapid smelt]

Two boom sticks!

[manic torrent]

I mean basically there's a sliding bar of trust that has inputs from a lot of areas, but that threshold is now higher. But... It also applies to stuff that's technically correct, but trying to tell a specific narrative based on an interpretation.

[harsh quartz]

Back to one boom stick

So I’m thinking about upgrading my phone in 4-5 months and I am debating on getting either a Samsung galaxy s24 ultra or waiting a while and get the s25 ultra

[haughty veldt]

@prime solstice what's your current phone? I normally wait quite a while between upgrades. So, just curious

[prime solstice]

It’s a iPhone 12 I got from my dad and the battery sucks and it has other issues

[primal elbow]

How can I get access to upload images?

Do I need to verify?

[haughty veldt]

Not sure you'll like the environment change. My daughter changed from android to iPhone and while back and she ended up going back to android within weeks

[neon mesa]

Lol my mom also despised iOS

[prime solstice]

I’ve grown up on android devices and my tablet a Samsung galaxy tab a7 lite plus I like android more than iOS

Plus the ability to side load using apks

[neon mesa]

Same with my sister
Somehow it's my dad that changed from samsung to apple

[haughty veldt]

I think you might as well wait and get an s24 after the next generation comes out. Unless you're really hurting

Wait for the prices to drop on current gen

[prime solstice]

I might do that since my new job gives me a nice discount for a new phone and plan

[covert cradle]

Fair enough lol. That previous softball interview already left a bad taste in my mouth tbh. A shit app ad just sounded like a nothingburger in comparison

[bright silo]

meh

not every techtuber needs to be hyper-critical

so my views is watch many points of view and make a well rounded and educated decision

[vapid smelt]

why would we get crashes '

[bright silo]

AMD drivers are fine. Crashing issues are rare and usually easily fixed.

I've only had one issue in the last 18 months with Radeon drivers on my 6700XT

and DDU and reinstall fixed that issue

[bronze imp]

never had big issues. Few crashed, but more likely due to overheating than drivers issues
I do have a lot of issues on Windows, but absolutely none regarding drivers on Linux
(explorer.exe crashes often for no reason)
Perfs good so..?

[bright silo]

actually i lied i had to nuke windows and that fixed it

[bronze imp]

nuking windows never helped me sticking to linux help

[bright silo]

nuking windows is my ultimate fail safe lol

[bronze imp]

tho I am planning to switch to NVIDIA for my next build, dunno how that move will play, but I'm mostly doing it since I'm playing VR and demanding titles, such as DCS

[bright silo]

if its not a hardware issue, a fresh install always works lol

[bronze imp]

I just have 0 airflow, my PC (CPU) stay a little below 90°C on load, if not higher

GPU does just fine

[bright silo]

How about this:

Windows issue > Game Issues > AMD Drivers > NVIDIA Drivers

[bronze imp]

Surprisingly, I never had games issues, just Windows shitting the bed out of nowhere for no reasons

[bright silo]

so while AMD drivers do have issues more than NVIDIA in my experience, issues outside of drivers is way more often

[bronze imp]

the issue is most likely between the chair and the keyboard

[bright silo]

get more airflow

[bronze imp]

tried but the case suck

the fans clashes

I'll just wait until I can make my new build and call it a day

I'm not playing that much nowadays, so I'll be good, it stay cool when it's not under load

[main shard]

hi

[fast parrot]

oh so lunchly actually has lead contents and they applied forced arbitration to their terms which you agree to by using their website

not sure about the food though people have reported it having lead

but it also comes with prime, and prime hydration was sued on three separate occasions for having lead contents

https://lunchly.com/policies/terms-of-service
https://www.erc501c3.org/notices/prime-hydration-violation

[bright silo]

i mean some contamination is normal, but idk what the levels are and whats deemed safe

[fast parrot]

there could still be a faulty batch that has deadly amounts of lead and if your child happens to have eaten the lunchly from that batch and died, you wouldn't be able to sue them

which in my opinion is really fucked up because they are pretty much avoiding accountability for adding a heavy metal which they shouldn't be in the first place

[bright silo]

the lead amounts aren't outright deadly... just not safe

[neon mesa]

Any court will throw that shit out

As valid as disney's forced arbitration

[bright silo]

i mean idk if forced arbitration like that would hold up in court

not a legal expert

[unborn briar]

some people still use dvd's 😒

[sonic comet]

what is intel and why is he crashing

[manic torrent]

the answer is, because most people suck.

[wary dock]

Has anyone tried Cursor yet? I have this potentially rational fear that leaning into AI coding tools too soon will make you trash at coding interviews, even if you become a better dev with them.

[grand torrent]

hi there

[manic torrent]

solid meh. If you know what you're doing, who cares.

The key is to actually understand wtf you're doing.

[wary dock]

i guess i would be the one who cares if after 1-2yrs of using Cursor my coding skills without using that tool atrophy to the point where it would reflect bad on me in situations where I'm not allowed to use that tool.

Kinda like using a calculator for work then being asked to do math on a whiteboard during a high stress interview.

[manic torrent]

If you actually understand what you're doing, that won't happen - but if you didn't have a good grasp of it before, yeah maybe

[wary dock]

I guess my concern would be justified if TLMs got worse at coding interviews after they stop coding.

[manic torrent]

I am confident in my abilities to execute. My ability to perform like a trained monkey is not as important.

[mint sandal]

Well I had to get a restraining order 😑

[wary dock]

I guess that is assuming cognition doesn't have a very strong conditioning component. Say you were a pro cyclist, capable of winning triathlons. And stopped biking completely for a few years. Even though you 'know what you are doing', you wouldn't be very competitive against someone who didn't take a few year break. Even if you do a small amount of exercise to get ready for the new race. Q: Do you think you would be able to massage that analogy so you could argue it in a professional setting?

[manic torrent]

It's absolutely not even close to the same.

[wary dock]

I was hoping you would just answer the Q at the end 😛

[manic torrent]

I mean, absolutely you'd be "rusty", but conceptually, it hasn't changed

The thing is, for any new job, even if you've used the exact language etc before, there's a period of adjustment to style etc etc. So.... the difference really doesn't matter for competent people.

[wary dock]

It might have been covid, but I feel my cognitive abilities degrading over time.

[manic torrent]

that is absolutely covid.

[wary dock]

Ah well. It was good while it lasted 😭

It's also possible that I'm just not competent. I get absolutely brutalized going into tech interviews cold. But do fairly well when I prepare and improve my conditioning in the language I'll be interviewing in.

I remember doing an interview with Riot Games a decade ago and completely blanking on a simple question about binary. Core memory unlocked.

[manic torrent]

Yeah, the key is to understand the concepts - sometimes you might not remember specific syntax or how to do it in whatever langauge, so I would then go back to basics and explain the problem and how to solve it generally

[sonic bear]

Yeah I was questioning the same thing

[viscid mason]

[long briar]

The difference is: your competition improves and the standard ever grows - new rules and regulations are created and thus you're now just another retired pro

in coding, it's not a competition on who can code the fastest - if you take a break maybe you'll be slightly slower than you would've been

but the language stays pretty much the same, and the logic behind why you'd use a certain function in certain scenarios is what made you a good coder to begin with - that stays ingrained

if an LLM can write better code than you, it means you weren't very good at coding to begin with

(I always have same day delivery, it's called going to the store)

Anyway that excitement is what makes it fun lol

[sonic mauve]

will i see a difference between 180hz and 280hz

Probably

but only if your pc can display that many frames

[tiny cove]

yes

it’s not gigantic

[hexed seal]

any1 here have experience with artic liqued freezer 3 aio

[uneven stirrup]

I think you’d notice a bigger difference depending on the panel… I think the lack of ghosting makes it look much smoother

Hello foenem

[sonic mauve]

what about

180-300hz

[uneven stirrup]

That’s noticeable

Hmm… depends what game :p

240hz 1080p

Is what I’d choose

It’s what I have…

Maybe you didn’t set your hz to 240?

[prime solstice]

I do 60 hz when I’m playing games

[uneven stirrup]

Idk what fps you get in games?

It could just be the delay of the panel

That’s weird… could be your gpu too

A 2060 isn’t the strongest when trying to push 240frames per secound

I also really like BFI mode on my monitor

It feels way more responsive at 240hz

It basically strobes your back light making it feel like 1000hz kind of

Very over simplified

It might have it

Normally that isn’t true…

Are you seeing tearing

Cause you can enable g-sync on the 2060

That’s so weird… what monitor is it?

[tribal zenith]

Can anyone help me figure out what the catch is when it comes to the VG32VQ1BR? Because it sounds to good to be true for a ps5.

[uneven stirrup]

Did some research it could be your gpu… your gpu is actually making more latency trying to push a higher hz and in turn makes it feel like crap

I know

[hot tartan]

I mean what fps are you getting in game

[uneven stirrup]

A 2060 is from 2019… and is less powerful than a 1070 which came out in 2016

[hot tartan]

Also, you connected over HDMI or Display Port

[uneven stirrup]

That too

That’s good

[hot tartan]

Enable it

Ok something is wrong then lol

Do you have gsync + reflex enabled

[tribal zenith]

Is anyone gonna help me?

I’ve been using a viewsonic monitor that I got in 2016 from value village brand new that has dvi and vga for the last 5 years

[wary dock]

Do you think you could make an argument that the quoted statement above is similar to saying "if a compiler can write better microcode than you, you weren't a very good <term for people who specialize in microcode>"?

[long briar]

the day a computer can effectively compile and improve itself is the day it becomes sentient

[hot tartan]

Have you done anything in the monitor settings?

[long briar]

and in that case, yes

[prime solstice]

So skynet

[long briar]

Like how humans are the best at working on humans and any lesser life form can't do the same

[hot tartan]

Go into the monitors actual settings, and turn overdrive to extreme

[long briar]

fortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon

and by the time it does happen I'll be long dead

[hot tartan]

Fuzzy pixels? can you try taking a screenshot and see if it persists

[uneven stirrup]

I honestly don’t care too much about ghosting anymore

Fuzzy pixels?

[hot tartan]

This could potentially be a dying card btw

[uneven stirrup]

That’s odd

[hot tartan]

Dying VRAM

[long briar]

or just windows cleartype bugging out.

[uneven stirrup]

yeah……….

[hot tartan]

Hard to know

[long briar]

dying vram is usually random artifacting - if only text is fuzzy and everything else is fine then vram isn't the issue

[wary dock]

Interesting. So is my understanding correct that you are not concerned about AI improving people's capabilities until we reach AGI? With respect to the human creators who choose not to use it?

[long briar]

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

[long briar]

AI will continue to be a tool humans can use to make things easier for humans, not replace them

[wary dock]

Agreed

[hot tartan]

Chances are yes most likely monitior

[dusky veldt]

thats the ideal but it's kind of making people worse atm huh 😂

[long briar]

I mean we've also seen in LLMs that there's almost a minimum error rate similar to that of humans

more training = less mistakes

[wary dock]

Do you think we'll be forced to use it to remain competitive?

[uneven stirrup]

THANK YOU… it’s your gpu

Your monitor is fine

[long briar]

Do you think Nasa could compete with Spacex with 4KB of ram? (the amount first used to land on the moon)

[uneven stirrup]

That’s the monitor… you can disable it in the extreme profile

[long briar]

the amount of calculations that take place now compared to back then are so different yet to achieve a somewhat similar goal

[uneven stirrup]

You can still have it at 240hz just no overdrive

Depends if your gpu can handle it… it seems it can’t so I’d put it at like 165hz or maybe even 200hz

[wary dock]

Nope

[uneven stirrup]

180hz?

[tired glade]

Depends on game

[long briar]

that explains it, what resolution and what game

[uneven stirrup]

Try 180hz

[wary dock]

Ya using new tech is required to stay competitive. Unless maybe a niche market exists that doesn't use that tech, but at that point you're not competing with people using it.

[long briar]

Exactly.

[uneven stirrup]

It varies

Like I said 180hz should be fine for both games… if it doesn’t work then go down to 165hz

[long briar]

Like for example in Law actually, we all know how terrible that chatgpt lawyer was. But lots of Lawyers use "AI" to sift through and study cases to build their own cases. If you don't, you're already at a disadvantage

[fossil frost]

Who you are speaking to has fully drank the AI cool aid. They won't listen to anything said against it

[long briar]

btw it's Kool Aid (i'mma go die now)

[uneven stirrup]

Via settings in display in windows

[dusky veldt]

an unfortunate reality indeed
thats how u know the machine's made them worse

[wary dock]

It's a strange feeling having a thought be agreed with in chat 😅 maybe I should start phrasing thoughts as questions more.

[long briar]

no it's that you finally didn't have a bad take

[uneven stirrup]

Then uh… 144hz

[long briar]

the line is drawn between using AI as a tool and using AI to replace humans

[uneven stirrup]

If you need anymore help you can open a help ticket

[long briar]

In this case I don't think his take is wrong at all, I don't remember what he's said in the past though.

[wary dock]

I'm not sure my opinion changed. But I do think you are thinking along the same lines as me now (and maybe before now). So maybe question based communication was more successful at this.

Communication is tough yo.

Esp online without background and context about the person you are talking to.

I can't wait for them to add another fucking button

The boost server button

[arctic glacier]

yo

[fossil frost]

the thing is, discord isnt the only way to communicate with people, if you dont like it, dont use it

its their platform, they can do what they want with it, the only thing they will understand, is users leaving

[restive lion]

I hear this opinion so often and it's stupid every time

[harsh quartz]

Na it’ll be the second emoji button, but it’ll only be for live emojis so they’re all locked

[restive lion]

They once gave the android beta testers like 4 gift buttons because they complained about it lol

[fossil frost]

no, its not, if people dont leave, they will assume everyone is fine with it... if people cry about it, and dont leave, they will assume its just people crying for the sake of crying... if people leave ,they assume its for a reason

[restive lion]

I can't just "not use discord" when the communities I'm trying to interact with are solely on discord

[harsh quartz]

They can. And as a user of the platform, I also have a right to bitch and moan about it.

[fossil frost]

but if you want them to change something, the only thing you can do, is leave

[restive lion]

What lol

I think that's the worst thing you could do

[harsh quartz]

Which you know as well as I do, is not feasible

[wary dock]

They say if a joke needs to be explained, its a bad joke. Or it isn't a joke for you 😅

[fossil frost]

discord is in a position where if you want to interact with certain communities, you have no choice but to use it, so they are a defacto option. you cant not use it. they know that. they have the upper hand, if you want to take that upper hand back, you, and everyone else in the community, need to leave... otherwise, bitch about it and adjust your expectations of discord

[wary dock]

Time for a new social media app. With black-jack!

[harsh quartz]

Apple is right to wall in their garden cause you can just go to android instead. Google is right to sell your data because you can just not use google. YouTube is right to show you 3 minutes of ads before a first aid video because you can use a different video platform.

[fossil frost]

yes, they can all do that.. but you have a right and an ability, to walk away from those platforms

[pure knoll]

The whole antitrust case was that Google was being anti competitive

[restive lion]

Whew I don't think I've seen such bad takes here in a while my dude

Even polar doesn't have takes this bad

[harsh quartz]

My takes have logic yall just don’t understand 🙂

[fossil frost]

ok, continue to meaninglessly complain and never actually change anything.. 🙂

[wary dock]

I may be in the minority here. But a paid subscription feels like the correct way to hide ads.

[restive lion]

My guy I literally operate a competing platform

[harsh quartz]

Not the point

[wary dock]

What platform?

[restive lion]

I'd rather not say here

[pure knoll]

Implying guilded

[wary dock]

I was just and one'ing you. YT premium rescued a lot of hours of my life.

[restive lion]

No it's not guilded lol

[pure knoll]

Lol

[wary dock]

What's guilded?

[restive lion]

Roblox cesspool now

[pure knoll]

Ublock origin saved a lot of hours too for free

[harsh quartz]

But it still misses the point of “YouTube is in the right to increase all of their adds to exorbitant levels”

[pure knoll]

Time = money = time so I'd rather money = 0

[harsh quartz]

Breadhub!

[wary dock]

Ya but I like helping fund creators, not everybody can throw to words from sponsors.

[restive lion]

Damn u got me there

(Quick someone buy that domain)

[pure knoll]

It ain't, that's why inflation laws exist and that's why antitrust anti competition lawsuits exist

[pure knoll]

YouTube pockets 60 percent.

(or more not sure now)

[wary dock]

lol what the fuck. that's crazy.

[restive lion]

I feel like pockets is the wrong word for that

[pure knoll]

Well revenue = their pockets

[pure knoll]

At least that's what it is with adsense

[restive lion]

Hosting video is Slightly Expensive™️

[harsh quartz]

I almost got banned cause there’s a gif of breadhub and the mod was almost too quick on it :p

[pure knoll]

Linus earns 5 percent of his revenue from yt premium

[pure knoll]

EXTREMELY expensive

[wary dock]

they need to make their finances more transparent. show every user how much of rev goes to servers, dev, infra etc. and instead of saying they are going to take 60%. they should take 10% of rev-expenses.

[fossil frost]

"incredibly" would be a better word 😄

[restive lion]

Yeah that's the joke

[harsh quartz]

Just put it in the cloud

[pure knoll]

Ofcofc

[fossil frost]

fast track to making it even more expensive

[pure knoll]

Get it into AI

Put some ai on it

[harsh quartz]

Use AI for compression

[wary dock]

Middle out?

[fossil frost]

i built a video platform for use within sports (clubs, leagues, governing bodies, private coaches).. for where i used to work... it got rolled into their offering... they sold the company 2 years later for a large amount... i got... fuck all 🙂

[wary dock]

Really? Does that imply that YTp is getting popular?

[pure knoll]

That's what they do, just take the ai crap out of it and call it nvenc/qsv/aomenc lmfao

[pure knoll]

Ahaha

[wary dock]

5% seems like a lot!

or rather. non insignificant

[harsh quartz]

Just have an AI remember it and get rid of the original raw data

[pure knoll]

With how much BS gets shoved down our throats (embedded ads and shit) I'd assume so

[wary dock]

Hallucinate me a WANshow.

[pure knoll]

Investors thinking llm databases are tiny: 👁️👄👁️

Technically for every bit swallowed it's a bit stored right lol?

To recreate the video

[harsh quartz]

Of course they are, just have the AI remeber it, and then we don’t need to store it 🙂

[pure knoll]

Maybe even more cuz of metadata and stuff

[wary dock]

I remember when I was a young lad wanting to make a compression technique based on some type of more complex genetic algorithm. essentially grow complex data from simple seed data. decoding is straight forward, but encoding is... NP hard?

I guess it was almost like factoring super duper large numbers if you squint your eyes enough.

content reconstruction via ai might be similar.

[solemn reef]

updated my bios they turned on but as soon as the computer is shut down and then turned back on they don’t work again any ideas why?

[floral abyss]

There's a wheel out back if you want to go reinvent it

[polar fern]

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/kansas-water-plant-cyberattack-forces-switch-to-manual-operations/

@floral abyss something something when people take impractical hobbies and try to make industries out of them something something

[floral abyss]

Don't you get it! Just GPT it! 😂

[wary dock]

Reinventing the wheel for fun and profit education.

[polar fern]

Sigh.

[floral abyss]

Lame behavior

[wary dock]

😿

[solemn reef]

How come when I turn on my computer the fans don’t work but when I upgrade or downgrade my bios the fans turn on again but as soo as the pc is shut down or restarted again the fans won’t light back on for some reason any one know why

[wary dock]

My bet. Default fan curves changed.

[solemn reef]

What do you mean

[polar fern]

Open ai investors in 2 years be like

[fossil frost]

updating your bios can erase, or, at least corrupt your bios settings. you need to go back in and set your settings for your fans again

[solemn reef]

Because what do I need to do to fix the fan leds**

[solemn reef]

The fans are ok it’s just the LEDs that won’t work

[humble quiver]

No one i know is answering I'm new to coffee I didn't know that thing was strong I got like 660mg been 13 hours I still feel like I'm gonna puke

[manic torrent]

Or simply... When updating they run at full for safety and then start back with a curve

[humble quiver]

I am not joking I'm freaking out

[manic torrent]

This is what happens when you take drugs

[humble quiver]

But it's coffee it shouldn't be that bad

[fossil frost]

the LEDs will likely have their settings saved in the bios somewhere, but are set with an app in windows, you need to open your app that controls your LEDs

[floral abyss]

That's like 3 cups, you'll be jittery for a while but you're fine

[humble quiver]

It's really fucking bad rn

[humble quiver]

It's been 13 hours 😭

[solemn reef]

Oh ok bc the app I use isn’t detecting my leds* for some reason when it used to

[fossil frost]

coffee has a lot of caffeine, especially if you arent used to it... thats what happens

[humble quiver]

I still feel awful like really really bad

[polar fern]

@humble quiver Caffeine is technically a bio-toxin.

[harsh quartz]

No, there’s a reason it’s an addiction. Just drink water to flush out the caffeine faster

[humble quiver]

It's not risky please

[polar fern]

Drink lots of water.

[harsh quartz]

The ONLY thing you can do is just drink water to flush it out. And pee. A lot.

[dusky veldt]

if you're not taking any other medications, you can try charcoal pills, since charcoal is often used to flush things out of your system
if you are, drink water and take it easy since the charcoal will, also flush your meds out
you'll feel like shit for the next little while but it will pass

[fossil frost]

then without knowing your specific motherboard, how your fans and LEDs are connected , what app you are using, and how you updated your bios, nothing we can do to help you, you are probably best asking on the forums of your motherboard manufacturer

[humble quiver]

Ok ok I will do water

[polar fern]

660 mg of caffeine is insane.

[fossil frost]

drink water, wait, and dont over do it again next time

[humble quiver]

I didn't think much of it it was 4 cups

[dusky veldt]

i hear eating bananas help too? something about potassium

[floral abyss]

Oh yeah I came into this chat meaning to ask what y'all think of marques charging $11.99 a month for his wallpaper app

[harsh quartz]

How the fuck did you 600+mg in coffee btw?

Cause I need that shit

[fossil frost]

marques is problematic for more reasons than that

[solemn reef]

Ok thank you I know which motherboard I have and it is all plugged in correctly it just randomly stopped working which sucks

[humble quiver]

I tried my dad new coffee because I recently found out I liked it a bit

I liked it a bit too much

[harsh quartz]

Is it like death wish or something?

[floral abyss]

Yeah but that's the most recent reason

[humble quiver]

😭

[harsh quartz]

Is it actually death wish?

[fossil frost]

you do know that not much more caffeine than that, could kill you?

[humble quiver]

No wtf

[spark stratus]

rip to my coworkers 1080 super

[dusky veldt]

if you're sensitive to caffeine for whatever reason, go decaf
surely your dad's coffee brand makes some

[humble quiver]

Prolly idk

You guys are making me freak out more

[harsh quartz]

Btw that’s an actual brand of coffee not just saying that

[floral abyss]

Wait your dad owns a coffee brand? You can score free coffee for life

[humble quiver]

It was uh wait

[dusky veldt]

drink lots of water and piss it out
you'll be fine
if it does get worse tho go to the er

[harsh quartz]

Weird name for a coffee brand

[humble quiver]

I'm having a panic attack great

I can handle it

[dusky veldt]

chug that water

[fossil frost]

they are stalling for time so they can google what a strong coffee brand is that they could reasonably pass off as what they claimed to have had..

[humble quiver]

I did I did

[fossil frost]

a coffee brand that has a distinctive smell of bullshit

[humble quiver]

Nespresso stormio

[harsh quartz]

I wanna know what the fuck it was

[polar fern]

@humble quiver If you start feeling irregular heartbeat or chest/neck pain go to ER.

[harsh quartz]

Oh it’s sum fancy shit

[humble quiver]

1st tile I tried I took a pic couple days ago

[humble quiver]

No I feel like you know

My phone feels farther and smaller

[dusky veldt]

bro it's ur body, not theirs

[glass mural]

30 minutes and some parts and I think it will be ok

[humble quiver]

My heart is good I've been checking like a maniac

[fossil frost]

how many cups did you say you had?

[humble quiver]

4

This is freaking me out tenfolds

[dusky veldt]

ive been in a similar situation before (dunno the exact amount of caffeine i had tho)
you might wanna cut all your caffeine intake for like a month or so after just in case so your body has time to recover some more
but for now u just gotta piss it out

[drifting marlin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/728503778730442857/1213541562924015656/hiiii2.gif

lol

[fossil frost]

technically (clinically) speaking, you have had an overdose of caffeine, since maximum daily recommended intake in most of the world is 400mg... that is if of course, you are not lying for attention 🙂

[humble quiver]

Oh yeah I'm defo never taking any ever again

[humble quiver]

I'm not I swear to god I messaged my friends but they sleep rn

[dusky veldt]

lie down, play some games, do something else to take your mind off it
if things feel really bad, go to the er

keep your water intake up so u can pee more
you're gonna feel gross and bloaty but i promise it will pass

[humble quiver]

I'm half thinking it's just me freaking out but it's different than normal anxiety thing

[fossil frost]

i would probably tell your dad how you are feeling too, nothing puts a downer on a morning like your kid getting super ill in the night because of something stupid they brought on themselves

[humble quiver]

Ok ok I massaged my stomach because of the bloatness it worked well

[dusky veldt]

go have a shower if you havent already
get comfy

[humble quiver]

I'm 20 😭

[long briar]

^

[humble quiver]

It's midnight for me rn

[fossil frost]

and?

[dusky veldt]

a nice hot shower before bed is nice
you're not gonna be able to sleep anyway but closing your eyes and lying there helps too

[humble quiver]

If I'm not feeling well in 1 hour I'm waking him up

[humble quiver]

I'm ashamed

[dusky veldt]

we've all done stupid things, dwbi

the most important thing rn is to piss out the coffee and rest

[long briar]

Not all of us overdose on caffeine

the coffee isn't the isuse

[dusky veldt]

ive done it as a stupid teen before

[polar fern]

@humble quiver https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much

[humble quiver]

I'm really really stupid I know

[fossil frost]

keep an eye on your heart rate, if it starts spiking, or creeps up, wake him up, because it doesnt matter that you are 20, nobody wants their kids to have a heart attack in the night

[dusky veldt]

dont shame them just because they fucked up
thats not helpful

[long briar]

I did not.

[spark stratus]

unfortunately i don't have the resources or materials for it, i work in ewaste so ill just bring it to work tomorrow and have em scrap it down.

[long briar]

Caffeine will increase the production of urine

urine will not get rid of the caffeine that way.

[dusky veldt]

you dont understand
the point is to drink lots of water so they flush the caffeine out of their system

[humble quiver]

I've read that effects lasts 10 hours

[harsh quartz]

Yeah… it’s caffeine..

[fossil frost]

tbh, if you stay awake (with the amount of caffeine you have had, wont be a problem), just being awake will burn it off faster than if you were sleeping

[humble quiver]

Been around 13 hours

[long briar]

and I'm telling you that's bullshit, you can't "flush" caffeine out of your system.

[fossil frost]

thats a generalisation based on a certain body weight

[dusky veldt]

you're probably not gonna get decent sleep for the next day or two
but close your eyes and lie down anyway

[humble quiver]

Ok ok I'm gonna get a water bottle with me and try to relax

[harsh quartz]

It’s wild to me that caffeine can like, actually affect people, and not everyone’s just built up a massive tolerance :p

[dusky veldt]

you can do it with charcoal but that's not super helpful if theyre on any kind of medication

[long briar]

the issue is that you may be able to sleep, but it will be very difficult to get any deep sleep (the sleep that actually restores the body) so you'd end up feeling like garbage in the morning

[long briar]

Charcoal isn't water and what's your source on that?

[fossil frost]

its wild to me that running is hard for some people, and not everyone could just put their trainers on and go run 13 miles in under 2 hours

[harsh quartz]

One of these takes effort, one of these doesn’t :p

[long briar]

one takes active effort, the other takes passive effort

sure running is putting in active effort

Caffeine is just a crutch for your own brain to think it's not as tired as it is

[fossil frost]

some days require more effort than others too

[dusky veldt]

idk if it works on caffeine specifically but ive heard that it's not great to eat things with charcoal in it if ur on meds
better safe than sorry and all
but it is used in cases of overdose
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327074#does-it-work

[harsh quartz]

Honestly, I have never met anyone in day to day life that has actually been able to use caffeine as an “eye opener” or for any type of energy

[humble quiver]

All it did is make me feel like shit

[glass mural]

Just change a few surface mounted components and you can prevent a good GPU from being scrapped

[humble quiver]

Don't argue over this guys

[long briar]

This is VERY different from saying "drink more water and flush out the caffeine"

[humble quiver]

I don't have charcoal things anyway

[long briar]

with that said - still drink lots of water and stay hydrated

Caffeine heightens urine production so dehydration is a very real possibility

[long briar]

then don't give stupid unproven advice

[dusky veldt]

bro im not saying they should take charcoal pills
but it's a potential option provided theyre not on meds

[harsh quartz]

It’s not like it’s harmful advice

[full fossil]

Well now you have. I find one to 2 cups of black coffee very beneficial for helping me focus, but there is a point of diminishing returns and I can very easily hit that point if I have a third so I sometimes have a cup of black tea in the evening if I need it. Generally don't consume caffiene after 6pm though as it generally takes 4 hours to pass through and allow your natural sleep cycle to kick in as it should.

[long briar]

wrong advice regarding health creates misinterpretations and misunderstandings - so is harmful.

[untold fern]

Yall help me and my friend are so confused is this a scammer?

We can’t for the life of us figure out what the scam could be?

[harsh quartz]

Telling someone to drink more water but for the wrong reason is not harmful

[dusky veldt]

yeah sounds fake
block their ass

[untold fern]

It sounds sketchy ofc but it’s just that I can’t figure out the scam in it

[long briar]

oh I was more referring to this

[untold fern]

Like they haven’t done any “send me money first” thing

[harsh quartz]

Yes this is a well documented scam

[untold fern]

Okay thx

[dusky veldt]

refund scam something something

[harsh quartz]

Is it someone from this server?

[untold fern]

No no

This just felt like the best place to ask

[fossil frost]

fake, they do a sort-of-deposit-but-not... they then reclaim it, leaving you $3000 out of pocket

[long briar]

if it's through paypal, absolutely avoid.

yea Bizzehdee pretty much that

[untold fern]

Gotcha gotcha thx

[harsh quartz]

Aight, if it is someone here, ping the mod, and if it’s on another of your servers, try to ping those mods :p

[long briar]

there's an infinite possibilities

[fossil frost]

that... or its money laundering, which i would also recommend avoiding 😄

[harsh quartz]

Charcoal tablets are a thing but yeah idk about caffeine

[long briar]

like it could be they give you money, you spend it, they chargeback and now you're in debt. The other person then puts you at ransom to do something
