Charcoal is only good for throwing up solids in an emergency like you're way out the forest and no way you're getting to a hospital. Caffeine uptake into blood stream is to quick for Charcoal to have any effect unless you utilised it immediately after drinking said coffee.

Water won't flush caffeine either because it's target of effect is in your brain. It bind's to your adenosine receptors (responsible for that heavy tired feeling late in the evening) and water isn't going to flush it.

The problem with telling people to just chug an unspecified amount could lead to death. It doesn't take very long to consume enough water to completely disrupt the delicate electrolyte imbalance witch inevitably leads to your brain swelling such that it crushes itself against your skull.

Happy to help 👍

[fossil frost]

that on its own means nothing... without knowing what your usual resting HR is, we cant say if thats high or not... but... i would say, its higher than the average population

[humble quiver]

I'm not a sports guy and been at home for a long year because of a surgery

[full fossil]

May I make a suggestion?

[humble quiver]

Yes please

Anything

[fossil frost]

your resting HR is largely genetic, and only changes by a few percent based on lifestyle (unless your lifestyle is extreme)

thats closer to what you want

105 was on the toilet actually

[wary dock]

Want to freak yourself out? stand up and walk across your house, then measure your HR.

[humble quiver]

It's gonna crank up right

[fossil frost]

walking round, should be 110-120ish based on resting of 80ish

rushing round, maybe 130ish

[wary dock]

Ever since 2020~, my HR spikes really high for basic movement. As high as I would expect when doing exercise.

As with all things in my life, I blame covid.

[full fossil]

Okay, well while you're laying down pick a fixed point on the sealing or close your eyes and then very slowly fill your lungs by inhaling through your nose for a count of 4, start at 2 seconds between counts. then pause for one and blow the air out your mouth through parsed lips as if your were trying to blow out a candle but don't force it all out at once, generally a 5 count with a another 1 for pause and then just repeat as long as you need.

I have some very crappy anxiety stuff that likes to slap me upside the head every now and again and this does the trick for me every time. Hope it helps👍

[humble quiver]

I use square breathing usually

I'll try this

[fossil frost]

my resting hr is around 55... an "easy run"... is around 140bpm, regular running, 155-165, my threshold (maximum i can hold for a hour), is 174. ive measured my absolute maximum recently as 198... but... i run.. and cycle, a lot

i could hold 155bpm, all day

[humble quiver]

I have no idea what BPM actually does to your body resting and not

[harsh quartz]

As a marching band kid, you just brought back not good memories :p

[graceful burrow]

My minimum heart rate was 70 for most of my life until a little over a year ago

[full fossil]

I think this is kind of the basic of the Whimhof? I learned it from a Psychiatrist ages ago and cannot remember what it was called. It's to control the Vegas nerve and it helps slow down the network speeds of your nervous system to "normal" rates is how I'd analogise it in nerdy terms I guess.

[vapid smelt]

Geek!

[full fossil]

My bad

[harsh quartz]

God no, I fuckin hated it, forced into it

[fossil frost]

your heart beats faster in response to your body requiring more blood, to deliver more oxygen... it will initially spike at the start, but then settles into a steady state for a steady effort

[full fossil]

Trophy parents?

[harsh quartz]

Perfect siblings 🙂

[full fossil]

Oh even better

[fossil frost]

did it go up or down? and, what caused it?

[vapid smelt]

Why can't you be more like your brother polar smh

[humble quiver]

I'm just gonna put some piano or something calm and do that breathing method you said

[harsh quartz]

Na its just funny hearing breathing exercised talked about like this

[harsh quartz]

I have a brother?

[humble quiver]

Thank you

[vapid smelt]

It was a 50/50 and I failed damnit

[graceful burrow]

Not able to go lower, minimum heart rate was set on my pacemaker when it was initially put in, and had been carried over until my most recent one, which the doctor set at 60
So now my minimum heartrate is 60

[harsh quartz]

I have multiple siblings so the chances were even better 🙂

[full fossil]

Yeah fair enough, Hey if it makes you feel any better I am the eldest and I basically served as how not to live life example and they all turned out great 🤣

[harsh quartz]

Truuuuue, I watched the oldest growing up and decided to not go that way and it worked out pretty well

[full fossil]

Yep that's just how that works rofl

[fossil frost]

ah ok... so you have an actual real floor on your HR... 😄 .. if you dont mind the follow up question, why did your doctor decide to lower it?

[graceful burrow]

Idk she mentioned it offhand last time I had my pacemaker checked and that was the first time I learned about it
And then she set it to 60
We ball ig

[harsh quartz]

Longer life hell yeah

[graceful burrow]

That sure isn't how it works kek

[fossil frost]

ah ok, was just interested if it was due to change in health/fitness

[vapid smelt]

So we can overclock your heart ?

[graceful burrow]

No it was just one she decided to make kek

[harsh quartz]

Weirdly enough, iirc, you only have about 1bil heartbeats in your life, so a lower HR equals a longer life 🙂

[vapid smelt]

A real missed opportunity not to make it 69

[fossil frost]

ah fair enough

[graceful burrow]

Yeah if we ignore literally everything else that can affect heart health which is wildly unrealistic

[harsh quartz]

Oh absolutely, but that’s why it’s an average

[graceful burrow]

It doesn't stay at 60 all the time that's just the lowest it goes

[fossil frost]

fix it with a floor and ceiling at 69 😄 fixed heart rate 😄

[full fossil]

Could it be that at the time of your first PM the safest limit was probably 70 but over time with better research and tech 60 became the safe limit?

[graceful burrow]

🤷‍♂️

[full fossil]

Fair

[graceful burrow]

It's probably because 70 was chosen when I was 3 years old and now I'm not 3 years old

[full fossil]

Autism itch, had to ask lol

[harsh quartz]

If your heart rate is 120, is it the pacemaker doing 1/2 and the heart doing the other 1/2 or does the pace maker only work when it’s below the minimum?

I have no idea how this tech works

[wary dock]

Just tried the apple watch ECG for the first time. I love that they are getting into the health space, but you can smell how scared they are of liability.

[graceful burrow]

The pacemaker only regulates, if the heart is pumping and can keep up with itself it pulls back

[harsh quartz]

Cool

[full fossil]

Oh wow... 3yrs old? Glad to see you're still kicking bud 👍

[graceful burrow]

The pacemaker is realistically only hooked up to the 1 problem chamber I have in my heart

[fossil frost]

could be any number of reasons, they probably have a list of factors that lead to a calculation that put you into a "this is the minimum for this score", and your score probably changed for some reason... that... or your doctor is a serial killer and shes playing the long game with you

[long briar]

My RHR is 65 - I won't disclose my age but I am younger 5'8 at 135lbs

[graceful burrow]

Good tbh hope she succeeds

[harsh quartz]

Also children typically have a higher heart rate than adults, so they might just make children’s pacemakers run higher to account for this

[fossil frost]

babies have resting heart rates over 100bpm

[graceful burrow]

My next pacemaker is probably gonna be put in my shoulder instead of my abdomen

[full fossil]

Ahh... Yep that makes sense

[fossil frost]

your heart is usually in neither of these locations

[graceful burrow]

Well the pacemaker isn't a heart so that makes sense

[harsh quartz]

Mice are usually above 500 and whales are usually around 4-6

[fossil frost]

surely it would be somewhere close to the thing its making the pace for though?

[harsh quartz]

Wires

[full fossil]

I was thinking that it was case of general improvement over time as generally the lower the resting hart rate (to a certain point I imagine) the more "efficient your circulatory system is as in you have the stamina that doesn't require your hart having to run itself silly to keep up

[graceful burrow]

It's put in the abdomen as a kid because your shoulder blades aren't done forming
As an adult the shoulder is a much safer spot to put it

[fossil frost]

that leads to bad cable management, not sure id be happy with that 😄

[harsh quartz]

Zip ties 🙂

[graceful burrow]

But the wire lead coming from my heart to my abdomen is still in decent quality surprisingly so they've just been putting it in my abdomen

No reason to do real actual heart surgery if the wire is still good

[full fossil]

Wouldn't be the weirdest thing that got sown up inside a patient I guess

[graceful burrow]

Much less invasive and realistically fine
I'm a hermit anyway I don't go out and do shit that would be dangerous for me to have it in my abdomen

[fossil frost]

100%, you dont want any surgery at all that you are able to avoid... needless surgery leads to needless risks

[graceful burrow]

They've just been re-cutting the original scar to do surgery

[harsh quartz]

X marks the spot

[full fossil]

I intermittently hermit, going through a bit of a "hibernation" period, I'm actively avoiding socialising for a while to recharge I guess

[graceful burrow]

Curious to see how a scar on my shoulder is gonna be

I don't know if they're gonna do abdomen or shoulder til I'm already there

Abdomen is a lot easier to heal from kek

[fossil frost]

i would say i rarely socialise, but i do spend many weekends a year, in a lake, then on a bike course, then on a run course, with several thousand other people... i dont speak to any of them, but... i think other people would consider it socialising

Hi

[hasty marlin]

how to reinstall windows no usb

[graceful burrow]

Step 1 buy usb

[hasty marlin]

effectively

Kant

[harsh quartz]

Buy hard drive caddy

[hasty marlin]

kant

[graceful burrow]

The options within windows leave garbage files behind and therefore they aren't recommended
There really is no other way

You'd need an external drive

[hasty marlin]

god damn it

[fossil frost]

a usb drive good enough to install windows costs about $5 £5 or 5 euro

[full fossil]

The USB method is the easiest and best way to do it. You can get a 64GB USB c/ 3.0 one on ebay for like €10-20 so I imagine you could get a 32 or 16GB one for way less and they'll work just fine too.

[full fossil]

Ah beat me to it and in less words too lol

[long briar]

There's a cloud reinstall option that works ok

[upper bison]

Not really, 16 and 32 has no real price difference, I doubt 64 is a big jump

Smaller sizes are always the least worth it

[harsh quartz]

It still leaves stuff

[graceful burrow]

Do you still need a Bootable drive though

[long briar]

to install, yes. To reinstall within windows nah

[full fossil]

Ah yeah your right, woops

[fossil frost]

16 and 32 usually come in packs of 2-3 now, for the cost of the 64gb ones

[graceful burrow]

Well, it's literally 1000x the socialising I'm up to, so I would say you socialising

I'm holding on to Win10 till it's killed, hopefully before that though I'll have successfully migrated to Linux and by then I hope that the whole anti-cheat VM clash is an absolute non issue so I can VM a Win10 image for whatever won't work on Linux.

[fossil frost]

2 things stopping me from my full switch... FreeCAD and all other CAD solutions that work on linux... SUUUUUUCK.... and a few of the games i play, refuse to run under proton at all

[hasty marlin]

it seems like i'm cornered

i'm forced to do the windows method 🫡

[full fossil]

Well the Cad issue can be VM'd though right? I mean you'll probably need some beefy hardware to that though.

I'll be honest I haven't really been involved in IT much since my last college course (Irish version of community college mind) baxk in 2016 and so I'm rehashing my knowledge trying to get back up to speed.

Man what a time to jump back in, I swear this whole Nvidia, Intel, AMD fiasco is verry reminisent of back around then lol

[hasty marlin]

theres no other way

it HAS to be done

even if i must sacrifice storage

i HAVE to do it

[fossil frost]

it can, but, the windows offerings also suck, but suck in terms of performance, so VMing them will make that much worse 😄

I'm looking at buying an LTT screwdriver. What is the main difference between the regular and the Stubby?

[smoky badge]

look at them..

[civic elk]

I know. I just wanted opinions from maybe someone who owned both. How they might feel different too

Can't get feel by looking

[fossil frost]

they feel the same, except one is shorter

[smoky badge]

They both feel like a screwdriver

[orchid relic]

YO

[kind beacon]

I like the feel of the regular size more, only cause it's larger and fills my palm. The stubby will have its uses for sure, but I've barely used it so far.

If you work on smaller stuff that doesn't need the long shaft of the regular driver, then the stubby might actually be better. You can palm the whole plastic part of the stubby, and turn the shaft by the knurling for faster un/screwing. But you'll lose out on the amount of bit storage. (And of course the substantially shorter shaft)

I keep the stubby on my desk for any random ideas / micro projects I've got, that don't need a long shaft. While the regular driver stays in the garage in my tool chest.

[manic torrent]

Well, the stubby one is stubby

[civic elk]

I gathered

[civic elk]

Thanks for the actually useful advice

[kind beacon]

Yup! Most likely everyone will be happy with the regular screwdriver. I'd suggest getting that one first, and maybe the stubby as a birthday present to yourself next year if you feel that you need it.

[civic elk]

I'm trying to justify whether I spend AUD$100+ when I already have the ifixit Mako driver kit my fiance got for Christmas last year

[kind beacon]

Well they are much bigger bits, and it's got a ratchet mechanism. More for around the house kind of work, like appliances, hanging pictures with drywall anchors/screws, and of course building PCs. If you do some lighter trades work, like your own electrical, I think it's nicer.

Of course, don't spend the money if you're unsure.

[civic elk]

Currently not worth $100 yet. Put that towards my wedding next year

[kind beacon]

Congrats!
In a year, you'll probably see if you would've actually needed it or not.
I definitely didn't need the stubby, just bought it along with the MCM desk setup deal they had a bit ago. (Which, I barely used any of..)

Like what are you missing?

[sour girder]

Pilots chat and my floatplane pilot attribute.

[fossil frost]

disconnect your discord account from FP, and then reconnect

[river ocean]

like the VCs?

[sour girder]

The fp exclusive Vc and the text chat are gone for me

[river ocean]

I'm not seeing those ether...

Do they require VIP status?

naw I can be in pilot chat.....IDK bud..

[split swift]

There isn't a "best", all gpus are not the same so just play with it

If it crashes, just reset it

[manic torrent]

Binning it and getting something faster

[split swift]

Keep it, it's evga

[manic torrent]

I mean you can keep it, but like... On the shelf.

[frigid coral]

hi everyone

[hearty spear]

Sell it and buy a faster card. An OC won't get you more than a few extra fps

Impossible question

That literally can't be answered

Wtf does this mean

[austere shale]

I’m so sick of people complaining about ads on YouTube

[wary dock]

The internet is like Festivus, but every day is the "airing of grievances" day.

[hearty spear]

Have you considered freesync/ gsync

It's probably in your head at that point

[wary dock]

Does this happen with all games, or just some?

If I was debugging something like that, I'd capture a framerate histogram at 240hz and at 60hz, to see if you can spot something different between the two that would explain the subjective difference you feel.

I think LTT uses FrameView and OCAT with RivaTuner Statistics Server. I could be completely wrong though.

Those are pieces of software for measuring and displaying stuff.

Depends on what you are rendering, CPU, other bottlenecks.

30hz won't be stable on that system for some games. So I'm not sure if there is a good answer for you.

I just meant it's not as simple as getting a single frame rate for your config.

[harsh quartz]

I think your confusing monitor hz and FPS

[wary dock]

mind elaborating on what you are thinking? i measure monitor refresh rate in hz. and game frame time in ms and game frame rate in hz.

[hot tartan]

This is to set your monitor at correct?

[serene crypt]

Oof

[smoky badge]

Womp womp

[austere shale]

Just buy YouTube premium

[smoky badge]

I mean, not everyone can or wants to buy YouTube Premium.

[wary dock]

I don't understand what you mean. Sorry 😅

[graceful burrow]

Game framerate is not measured in hertz lol

It's measured in frames per second

Hz is monitor

[long briar]

Hz is refresh cycles per second, physical and dictated by hardware. Fps is virtual

[wary dock]

Hz is a unit of measurement for frequency. It can be used to describe the frequency of things. Like a game loop.

[graceful burrow]

You're only confusing people by using the incorrect terms

You don't see that?

[wary dock]

Sorry

[long briar]

What resolution?

What kind of games?

Then set 180hz if your monitor supports it and uncap framerate

[covert cradle]

🤓 Umm actually, Hertz is explicitly for periodic events. Everything else is supposed to use <event>s per second

[midnight hollow]

wonder what linus and lukes reaction reactions to the mkbhd app will be

[cunning crescent]

Is the restrictions on a chromebook thats provided by a school considered soft wear ?

[long briar]

then use 240

[long briar]

yes

[cunning crescent]

Does anyone per chance know how to take it off

[long briar]

You don't.

[cunning crescent]

I mean if its software there must be a way you can

Unless the software is first installed as hardware

[long briar]

You have the school admin reset the Chromebook or set it into unlocked mode which wipes the device and voids warranty and you get in trouble.

[cunning crescent]

Unlock mode?

[long briar]

just buy your own if you don't want school restrictions - they're there so that the Chromebook is used for learning and not anything else

[cunning crescent]

I know but I'm to broke to b buying a new one

[long briar]

unlock the bootloader

[long briar]

the accomodation for that was the school providing a Chromebook for you to learn; don't even try to circumvent it before you actually get into deep shit.

[cunning crescent]

Hmmmm

[long briar]

As soon as the device disappears from their network, you're paying for it

[cunning crescent]

I get that but like I have another chrome book I somehow didn't turn in n well I don't go to that school anymore so

[long briar]

Hold up...

so you bought the Chromebook through the school?

or did you just never return it...

[cunning crescent]

No I js never returned it

[long briar]

...

[cunning crescent]

I forgot to man

And they haven't called, charged, texted, or emailed

[covert cradle]

Theft is theft bro

[long briar]

ohhhh boy.

[cunning crescent]

I get that but like there was ppl in my school who stole whole carts of that stuff

[graceful burrow]

Oh damn I arrived during an interesting convo

[cunning crescent]

Not trying to justify my actions just putting that out there

[graceful burrow]

That doesn't mean you're less of a thief it means they're more of a thief

[cunning crescent]

I know but I didn't mean to steal the dang chromebook I js forgot to turn it in

They never said anything and I js saw it until now 😭😭

[quaint ibex]

hi

[cunning crescent]

That was In 6th grade I'm in 11th now 😭

[long briar]

wait so the Chromebook is already out of software support

[cunning crescent]

I mean idk

[long briar]

it probably has been for the last 4 years

[heady night]

I don't know which folder to do it to

[cunning crescent]

I've tried factory reset but nope

I've tried unlocking admin access but nope it is makes a very loud beep

[long briar]

that's what it does

[cunning crescent]

Idk man, idk what to do n I js figured you guys would know what to do since you guys are far more educated than I am

[graceful burrow]

Almost definitely

[long briar]

It depends on the device itself - Google is your friend here

[cunning crescent]

Yeah I'll look it up later but still was just wondering if yall knew how to

I think the reason y they never called was because I never turned on a book

Idk but I'll figure out what kind of chromebook

[long briar]

It's probably an Acer c720

[cunning crescent]

Lemme see

[long briar]

There's a few HP ones here and there but Acer has dominated this space for years

[covert cradle]

There was once a way to downgrade the device to older vulnerable firmware, but they patched that out years ago. You now would have to flash the firmware directly to bypass it. You'd never be able to run ChromeOS on it though

[cunning crescent]

I think you guessed correctly

I keep accidently typing in all caps oops

[polar fern]

@silk island the SE is not smol!

My girlfriend has the 12 mini & it’s noticeably smaller at a glance

Can’t stand the phablets

Next they be like “you can land a carrier air wing on the display”

[onyx heath]

Whats the answer

[cunning crescent]

[muted relic]

The Marques Brownlee wallpaper thing is hilarious

That he thinks he can charge a $50 subscription for wallpapers.

Hell, for a fraction of the cost you can get Wallpaper Engine on steam which has a free Android app add on. You can put anything from the steam workshop library on your PC and phone, no sub, no ads, fraction of what Brownlee is asking.

[austere shale]

Just how I like my hand sanitizer, not for sale In California

[tidal shore]

why

https://tenor.com/view/zacxion-zacxiometro-kratos-gif-25432373

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling-cereal-embed-failure-laugh-at-this-user-gif-20627924

[long briar]

not all wallpaper engine wallpapers are compatible with the mobile app

but subscription model is ass tier

[onyx heath]

How tf

[cunning crescent]

Sup

[long briar]

I use an app called backdrops which even though I only use like 4 or 5 of the wallpapers, it's a perpetual license to get "pro" mode that unlocks some pretty nifty wallpapers so I actually don't care about supporting it

[graceful burrow]

I make my own wallpapers for both desktop and mobile

[long briar]

nerd

[gilded quest]

Yeah I paid the $5 pro unlock 6 years ago and have been very happy

[long briar]

like maybe once a week I pop in and see what's new

Nothing? move on with life

[gilded quest]

Perfectly happy with what I paid, I was happy to pay, and I am happy with what I get

Extremely reasonable business model with backdrops (at least when I got it, idk what they charge now)

[gilded quest]

People are so upset with mkbhd

I can't imagine getting this mad at a wallpaper app
Get a life smh

[long briar]

I actually don't know how much I paid but if I don't remember it probably wasn't much

5.76CAD

[gilded quest]

Pretty sure I used Google survey rewards for it too

[long briar]

yea that's nothing

[gilded quest]

So probably $4.99 us

[long briar]

ish yea

oh even less

4 dollars USD + tax

[gilded quest]

Nice

Same with my podcast app of choice

I spent $4-5 on it in 2016 and have been using it daily since

10/10 value right there

[long briar]

I use Spotify just because the rest of my friends do - the value I gain from that subscription is worth more than what I pay so I don't have a problem paying for it

but my notes app is another example of something I wouldn't pay a subscription fee for

I use notewise and they have both subscription and perpetual license for one device

[graceful burrow]

I use obsidian

For notes
And a free plugin to sync between devices using github

[gilded quest]

I uhhh totally take notes
Mhm

[long briar]

so I paid about 20cad for it (about the price of a decent notebook) but it means I have my favourite notes app so it's fine

[long briar]

Xiaomi pen integration is incredibly scuffed

notewise was just the least bad version of it

[graceful burrow]

Well I don't use one of those so that doesn't matter to me

[long briar]

exactly

[gilded quest]

Man, the world of notes and personal knowledgebase apps is sooo much better than when I started university in 2015

At the time it really felt like my options were pen and paper, word docs, or onenote

I did try and settle on one note using iPad and apple pencil for digital note taking

[graceful burrow]

That sucks to hear cause I did a huge dive on the best apps for it, a few months ago, that I could use cross platform easily and it was dire
Sketchy privacy policies abound
I don't want my personal notes used to train ai

[median hollow]

I've been doing research for ages. and I still only have a paper notebook.

and Mendeley

[gilded quest]

AI training wasn't anyone's concern in the 2010s lol

[glad dagger]

about 2/3 of a year spent listing to other people

[gilded quest]

Over 8 years
And most of that time was spent driving, biking, walking
Basically any form of commuting or waiting for class or lunch breaks at work

Or doing chores

[polar fern]

👀

Weird. Can’t log into floatplane to renew

How am I supposed to renew if I can’t log in?

Weirrrrddd.

Card declined.

Oh, it’s because it’s outside the US

Sweet 🫠

Ah well. Need to make lunch.

[acoustic sonnet]

i need a LTT SCREWDRIVER

[pallid falcon]

i agree

[pallid falcon]

oop

[harsh quartz]

Buy one.

[viscid mason]

this server rly needs VCs

[long briar]

too hard to moderate

[graceful burrow]

It has vcs

In floatplane section

There also used to be public vc's but like nexgen said they're impossible to actually moderate

[hot tartan]

Yeah fuck no

Restricted VCs is such a good move

[harsh quartz]

The people who want VCs are the reasons there are no VCs :p

[graceful burrow]

Basically yeah

A rare incorrect bubzyz moment

[long briar]

yea

[graceful burrow]

I saw what you deleted

[long briar]

I joined the VC once by accident and never touched it again

[graceful burrow]

I never joined the public one

[long briar]

then it just disappeared (I think this would've been 2018ish)

[velvet marsh]

I didn't see it but I guess my FP stuff disappeared lol

[graceful burrow]

I remember seeing it and saying "good fucking luck" after being an admin on the largest apex legends server kek

[long briar]

honestly though

public VCs are actually a pain in the ass

[graceful burrow]

Turns out
Working at subway gives you a lot of time to fuck about

[long briar]

a-ayo?

[graceful burrow]

Don't miss that fucking job

[velvet marsh]

There we go, it's back

[graceful burrow]

Don't get avocado at subway TRUST me

[velvet marsh]

Dunno why I lost the FP role

[graceful burrow]

A lot of people seem to have been desync'd from it

You aren't the first I've seen

[velvet marsh]

Hmm maybe something changed on the back side

[graceful burrow]

That's my guess

[velvet marsh]

Tho theres almost never anyone in the FP VC

[graceful burrow]

Only during events did i ever see it full

And for most of those there was always a specific user that wouldn't let anyone else talk

[velvet marsh]

Yeah otherwise there is maybe one person in there for a few minutes per week lol

[graceful burrow]

Dude is hella annoying outside of vc too but I won't name names I'm just grumblin

[pliant karma]

lol and at times there is that one random FP person in call for long periods trying to break the record for being in there alone.

Of course Langley is there to troll us.

[upper flume]

Hello!

[dusky veldt]

avocado tastes funky the longer you leave it out yeah
thats why supermarket sushi with avocado is awful (amongst other reasons)
maybe subway guac is ok tho since the spices block out the gross? ive never had it from there tho

[graceful burrow]

Nono
No

[bronze vector]

Hi all, new here

[graceful burrow]

It oxidizes inside the bottle

[dusky veldt]

eww

[plucky pilot]

Sup

[graceful burrow]

Yeah

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[dusky veldt]

im glad ive never gotten avocado anything from subway then
imagine paying a premium to make your sandwich worse

[graceful burrow]

Now imagine cleaning those out when all you have is a high pressure shower head and it aerosolizes when you clean it out

Don't give subway workers a bad time they're dealing with fuckin biohazard's in the back

[covert cradle]

Breath deeply

Really get it in the lungs

[dusky veldt]

oh yeah i cant blame the minimum wage foot soldiers
gotta do what u gotta do to survive

[neon mesa]

Plastic rust, yummy.

[silver sun]

[covert cradle]

The numbers mason havic! What do they mean?!

[primal sonnet]

do you guys think pixel buds pro 2 are a worthy upgrade from the og

[long briar]

none of them sound very good

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I don't think those have ever really been in the talk as recommended

[polar fern]

Supermarket sushi is only gross if the store is sketch

[long briar]

they're very good integration with pixels, but that's pretty much it

[primal sonnet]

Im considering IEMS tbh

[long briar]

it's not good enough as a TWS you'd actually want to listen to music with to be worth recommending outside of pixel users - only for the features

[primal sonnet]

i have a pixel

[long briar]

Pixel what

[primal sonnet]

8a

[long briar]

yea so you could go pixel buds for features

but the sound quality is just.... meh

[primal sonnet]

I was dissapointed when i got the original pixel buds pro because I switched from an iphone to pixel and previously had airpod pros 2. For a while I was just using the airpods but i ended up getting the buds and giving the pros to my brother. definitely downgraded

for over ear i use sony xm4s

[deep solstice]

I like the Sony XM5 earbuds

[primal sonnet]

too expensive lol

[deep solstice]

Indeed.

Noise cancelling is very good though

[primal sonnet]

yea

[hollow scroll]

Linus with his narly cat scars

[gilded aurora]

Hi all 🙂

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[dull granite]

yo quick request

can someone boot up chatgpt for me

and do a small arithmetic progression task cuz i dont have a calculator for tht

and i ran out of free tokens

[river solstice]

use duck.ai also what tokens?

[dull granite]

the r is 0.02307692307 and

it says "u ran out of free chatgpt data analysis"

[river solstice]

alr use "duck.ai", there you can access gpt 4o 100% free without a login

[dull granite]

wow

i didnt know that
thanks

[pure knoll]

How do they make money lmfao

[river solstice]

i actually dont know how the whole duckduckgo company makes money

"We make money from private ads on our search engine. On other search engines, ads are based on profiles compiled from your personal information, such as search, browsing, and purchase history. We don’t have that information (per our Privacy Policy) because search ads on DuckDuckGo are based on the search results page you’re viewing instead of on what other companies’ tracking algorithms assume about you. For example, if you search for cars, we’ll show you ads about cars. We also make money from the subscription fee that users pay to access Privacy Pro, our three-in-one subscription service. Learn more"

[pure knoll]

Oh

[pure knoll]

Usually selling data privately

Such as bing

[river solstice]

duckduckgo doesnt sell data

[pure knoll]

It's not user data, just search data to help bing

[graceful burrow]

we'll forget what happened in 2022 with duck duck go, conveniently

[river solstice]

what happend lol

[graceful burrow]

they were using microsoft trackers and got caught

[river solstice]

lol

in the search engine or in their browser?

[graceful burrow]

the browser

[river solstice]

just desktop or also mobile

[graceful burrow]

bro do your own research

[pure knoll]

They browser is the same duckduckgo.com

[river solstice]

lol

[river solstice]

browser and search engine isnt the same

[graceful burrow]

im here to chat not google 30 billion things for other people

[river solstice]

maybe you already knew that

[pure knoll]

Does it matter? What do you do in a browser that isn't search stuff up?

[river solstice]

no i mean maybe the browser itself has trackers, not the search engine

[pure knoll]

Obviously it goes a bit deeper than that

[pure knoll]

Na just the search engine due to being the most demanded product

Microsoft doesn't care about the 5 ddg browser users

[river solstice]

lol

[pure knoll]

It'd actually be very interesting to look up how they figured it out

[graceful burrow]

sure
i'm not that interested in it though

[pure knoll]

Ah so, it was a security researcher

Cuz I was thinking it must be so cool doing that shit

Dawg I just busted a trillion dollar company 😎

[pure knoll]

They could just say they didn't know how to block ms trackers yet but knew how to block the others lmfao

[graceful burrow]

the chance of getting called out on that too, and then proven wrong, is way too high
that risk is insane

[pure knoll]

Ikr

[graceful burrow]

getting caught lying about the thing you already got caught out for is the stuff that makes sure everyone dismisses you entirely

just fuckin be honest

[quasi matrix]

Should i buy a 3070ti for 290€ or a 3080 for 400€ is there much of a difference between the 2?

[plucky pilot]

3070ti, very little difference in performance, not worth the $110 difference

[quasi matrix]

is the vram difference important?

dont think the 2gb of extra vram would make a big difference but i just wanna be sure

[plucky pilot]

Not really, you shouldn't run into a case where you'll need more than it offers in gaming

[quasi matrix]

alright thanks

[graceful burrow]

unironically wouldnt buy anything with less than 12gb of vram nowadays

[plucky pilot]

I have a 3070ti and have zero issues playing any modern AAA titles

[upper basin]

can someone tell me what linus meant when he uploaded "i cant recommend the rog ally x" because the video was a bit weird when i didnt pay much attention the first few minutes

[graceful burrow]

games are using up to 12gb at 1080p nowadays

[quasi matrix]

just not in my budget to spend 500 bucks for 4 gigs of extra vram instead of 300 for 8

[graceful burrow]

yeah because games automatically swap out textures with lower resolution ones
the idea is you dont notice, which means they're doing a good job lol

[plucky pilot]

And this is at 1440p btw

[quasi matrix]

im on 1440p too

[graceful burrow]

8gb at 1440p

☠️

[plucky pilot]

this just isnt true...

[graceful burrow]

lmao ok

[quasi matrix]

what is the equilent to a 3070ti in amd cards i heard they have more vram

[graceful burrow]

6800

[quasi matrix]

hows the 7700xt

370 bucks for the 7700xt or 290 for the 3070ti?

[hot tartan]

7700xt

[full fossil]

Is LinusCatTips coming back then?

[quasi matrix]

i found a 6800xt for 380 i might even get that

[long briar]

that's up to Linus himself

It has nothing to do with LTT other than Linus

Channels like CSF and ShortCircuit are channels under LTT, Linus Cat Tips is Linus' own channel

[gilded quest]

I have 8gb at 1440p
But it's arc so it's just better

[hard stirrup]

Is there another 4090 shortage? It seems like they are out of stock or overpriced everywhere agian

[long briar]

GPUs in general just seem to be at another high

[harsh quartz]

Skill Gap moment

[cunning crescent]

Guys guess what

I js got paid to do hw

[worthy tide]

can someone help me in tech support?

[pallid falcon]

Probably

[manic torrent]

Possibly, 5090 is imminent

[full fossil]

wats your issue

[worthy tide]

my psu has only an 8 pin cable for the cpu but my motherboard requires a 4 pin connection so i’m muddled on what i can do

[fossil frost]

you can split them into 2

[worthy tide]

the 8 pin doesn’t separate into 2 btw

[fossil frost]

you can plug 1 half in to the socket.. also.. double check its definitely the cpu connector and not a pci-e connector

[worthy tide]

it is definitely cpu it says cpu on the cable so i’m 100% certain about that and would plugging half of it in be fine or is there a cable adapter that’d work to separate it to a 4 pin?

[fossil frost]

its the same connector as 2 4 pin connectors that clip together.. but glued together... plugging half of it in would be fine

[full fossil]

8pin is for more beefier motherboards, just plug one half and it will work fine

just like bizzehdee said

[worthy tide]

ok thanks guys i appreciate the help

[hollow mango]

I miss channel super fun. Is that still alive or did Linus say he was going to kill it?

[full fossil]

somewhere in the middle

[manic torrent]

I miss my dad. Do you think he's coming back from the store soon? He's been gone for about 6 months

[hollow mango]

He'll be back when Linus releases another video of his employees hiding in his house

thank u ayana

[vapid smelt]

go play the new avatar

[tribal zenith]

Hey could u help me out with something?

[vapid smelt]

depends on the something

[graceful burrow]

They want you to find a monitor

Assumedly

[tribal zenith]

He dosent have to, but im just asking since he knows them

😁

[vapid smelt]

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

[tribal zenith]

The thing is, i have a $500 budget and im trying to get the best out of it. What do you think would be the right one? (It’s for my ps5 and 1440p is just enough) 😁

[vapid smelt]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/ps5

[tribal zenith]

Whoa, those are expensive

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C8ZJKPWC if you go the the bottom its $280

and its fancy mini led

[tribal zenith]

Sorry for asking so much but I prefer 32 inch, also I want to get the best out of $500

If u don’t mind😁

[vapid smelt]

32 inches at 1440p has bad ppi

[tribal zenith]

It can’t be that bad right? I currently play on 32 inch 1080p

[mental wind]

how do i fix corrupted drive

help pls I can’t go on windows

[vapid smelt]

🤢

[tribal zenith]

Okay what about this. The best 32 inch for $500

Whatever resolution, as long as it’s good

[vapid smelt]

$550? ok https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-27-mini-led-uhd-160hz-1ms-freesync-gaming-monitor-with-hdr1000-displayport-hdmi-black/6539416.p?skuId=6539416&utm_source=feed https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xv275k-p3biipruzx

[acoustic coral]

aura stole my data

[tribal zenith]

Is it 32?

[vapid smelt]

fuck forgot

[tribal zenith]

Also I live in Sweden so, shipping would be a problem… so I need sum from nearby

It’s hard man haha

I was thinking

[vapid smelt]

WHY USE $ IF YOUR IN SWEDEN

[tribal zenith]

Of these two

[frank gulch]

I'm looking for a mini PC that will be able to handle 20+- chrome tabs while consuming 10-15w of power. Does this exist?
I remember the rog ally was using about 13 in its 10w mode. I need that in PC form.

[tribal zenith]

Wait check dms

[vapid smelt]

i dont do dms

[mental wind]

can the sata cables for a pc get broken

[fossil frost]

yes

[mental wind]

how can u tell

[fossil frost]

they dont work anymore

[tribal zenith]

Ohh fr

[mental wind]

I know that

But what will it display

[fossil frost]

they work, or, they dont... the drive will show, or it wont

[mental wind]

it works

But I can’t get into windows it’s a eternal loop

[fossil frost]

then your drive its self may be broken

or the filesystem is broken

[mental wind]

Also

[tribal zenith]

@vapid smelt I was thinking the 32gp850-b OR vg32aqa1a

[mental wind]

If I get into the repair thingy

I can boot windows

but I can’t play no games

Everything takes to long to load

[fossil frost]

your drive is dying

or already almost dead

[mental wind]

Idk if it’s the drive or the cable

[fossil frost]

its the drive

[tribal zenith]

@vapid smelt lmk what u think of those two 😁

[mental wind]

that’s very assertive lol

[vapid smelt]

check the rtings page is sent you thats what i use

[mental wind]

I changed the drive now it doesn’t even show the old one

[sour sand]

Hi

[tribal zenith]

Alr 👍

[mental wind]

The pc doesn’t register the ssd

[fossil frost]

because drives have degrees to which they work ranging from "it doesnt work" to "it just about works" all the way through to "its awesome"... cables work, or dont... so.. if it works, but badly..its the drive

[mental wind]

I think it’s my power supply

I had issues with the gpu like 2 weeks ago

[frosty pike]

Is it normal for my laptop to flash a system 32 window when I start it up

I think not

[mental wind]

When I put

My old drive it says

Reboot select proper boot driver

[fossil frost]

ive lost interest now 🙂

[mental wind]

nooob

noo pls help lol

[fossil frost]

ive given you your answer, you dont want to accept it

[mental wind]

I put a new drive in

[vapid smelt]

this is bullshit its 2024 and the ps5 doesnt support ultra wide monitors

[mental wind]

and it says some other shit

[fossil frost]

yeah, the old drive either doesnt have windows, or your motherboard hasnt been told to boot from it

[mental wind]

it does

I booted from bios

[fossil frost]

your motherboard is literally telling you "select proper boot device" ... it wasnt told what to boot from, swapping over to a different drive doesnt automatically make it boot from that device

[mental wind]

idk

I booted it from bios lol I selected the drive

It defo has windows

As I was using it like 6 months ago and upgraded to bigger size

[fossil frost]

evidentially not

[harsh quartz]

That’s a “pro” feature 🙂

[mental wind]

ok 👌 noticed it

I fixed it it’s my power supply

how I’m I gonna use my pc tho

lol

[eager notch]

I'm in the middle of a fucking field and the speed test is way faster than my home Internet.

[fossil frost]

then your home internet sucks balls

[eager notch]

Because I don't feel like paying 80 bucks a month for gig Internet

[hearty spear]

pay for good internet, or get shit internet.
Your choice.

[long briar]

you shouldn't need to?

[eager notch]

Other than downloading CODwarzone in 15 minutes, I frankly don't see the point for having gig Internet

[long briar]

even Canada (which has some of the highest internet and mobile data prices) doesn't charge that much

[eager notch]

That's what fiber costs where I live

[lilac remnant]

hi

[long briar]

okay?

you know fibre is not just gigabit right

[fossil frost]

i work from home on a large (LARGE) software project, im constantly downloading and uploading a lot of source and/or binaries from that source... 1gig is very much worth it for me

[long briar]

fibre is just a more sustainable replacement for copper

[fossil frost]

how worth it, it is, is dependant on your use case

[long briar]

like I personally have 500mbit which is plenty fast for pretty much just myself

and it's not even close to the prices you claim

Oh with that said you NEED to go to like festivals or whatever to get a deal on a plan

[long briar]

they often run promotions which decrease your internet bills by a LOT

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, a lot of place around here are like 60$ for fibre 300, 70$ for 500, 80 for gig, so it’s realistically not much cheaper to not have gig

[eager notch]

Still is like $60 for 300

They want 85 long term for gig

[fossil frost]

it would be above 1000mbps, but my wife is watching tv in bed, stealing my bandwidth

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it’s basically the same here

[long briar]

"no annual contract required"

[hearty spear]

I pay 40-something bucks for 400ish mbps?
And I'm fine with that. I rarely saturate it.

[hearty spear]

and I have 0 fiber options in my neighborhood, so not a choice

(Also when I'm on my VPN, I never get full speed from mah internets)

[eager notch]

I have 50 and frankly it's fine for streaming 4K and if I need to download a game, I'll just do it overnight and it's fine

[vapid smelt]

its not 2008

[dusky veldt]

god i wish the job market had a pity counter like the gachas 😭
like, after x number of applications u get a guaranteed

[plucky pilot]

Yikes

[red patio]

hey guys, currently using my laptop as my daily driver whilst im at uni, and ive set it so that the screen is both off and also does nothing when i close the lid, do i need to worry about temps hurting the screen at all? its a 4060 gpu btw

when gaming i mean

[graceful burrow]

That's real as fuck

[eager notch]

I had 1 Mbps up until like 2013 and it was horrible

[fossil frost]

this is using cellular on my phone

[plucky pilot]

No, plenty of people do that, should be fine

[lilac remnant]

this is my cellular the other is my wifi

[dusky veldt]

it's been like 2 weeks since i submitted and lmg closed the form for that particular posting so i cant even try to shoot my shot again
even tho i thought i totally qualified there's always bound to be someone better lmao
ngmi 😭
better keep shooting elsewhere

[vapid smelt]

anyone want to pay for 10Gbps internet for me it would be a huge upgrade for me

[red patio]

aight sweeet i was just wondering because it can get a little hot under the hood, and didn't want to warp the screen or anything lmao

[vapid smelt]

hacker

[lilac remnant]

idk why it’s like that

[fossil frost]

i have a laptop with a i9 13980hx, and a 3070 in it. and i RUN it with the lid closed, plugged into an external dock, with 3 screens... and i do compiles of large software projects on it... it pumps out a LOT of heat... and its completely fine.. laptops are designed to get rid of as much heat as they can as quickly as they can

[hearty spear]

This is why I never curse someone to have their internet die.

I curse them to 100kbps. Fast enough that it works. (Eventually) Adding packet loss into the mix only makes it worse.

Slow enough that they'll be absolutely raging and wanting to put a fist through their monitor

[dusky veldt]

or curse them to have mad tummyaches when theyre stuck in traffic during rush hour
mild inconveniences like that

[red patio]

well if that aint a stress test idk what is lmao, aight sick, im assuming nothing can be done about fan noise tho right? its just a little distracting when gaming haha

[fossil frost]

laptops can be loud, you just have to deal with it, or... sit further away from it 😄

headphones help though

[hearty spear]

this is a new circle of tech-hell
Forced to use unreasonably slow internet

[fossil frost]

is that before, or after, being forced to use a cpu that is intermittently thermal throttling... (which is worse than permanently throttling)

[dusky veldt]

makes me think it'll eventually become permanently throttling--
thats awful

[fossil frost]

cpu that is intermittently throttling, is like someone intermittently snoring, its really annoying, but you cant tune it out because it comes and goes... so it becomes more annoying... if it was just like that all the time, you get used to it and tune it out 😄

[red patio]

Don't really want to use headphones with these speakers thoo 😭

[fossil frost]

turn the speakers up and annoy everyone else then

[vapid smelt]

get a mouse mat plz

[fossil frost]

the louder the fans, the louder the speakers

[red patio]

It's in the books, I just haven't been able to yet lmaoo

[fossil frost]

and yeah, get a mouse mat... even a $3 one is better than nothing

[dusky veldt]

idk man tuning out someone snoring constantly is pretty tough for me too

[red patio]

Damn my setup getting roasted for lack of Mat 😭 despite the rest being sick

[fossil frost]

you just have to get something to make it easier... like noise cancelling fists

[dusky veldt]

feel like u should raise ur monitor a lil, like with a riser or a mount
my own monitors are that low too and it feels kinda awful on the shoulders

[vapid smelt]

and only 1 monitor smh

[dusky veldt]

dont think they got the space for more monitor unless they stack vertically--

[red patio]

Yeah I was going to but it's £80 for a pair which is such a pain but at this point it needs to be done

[fossil frost]

if i snore, my wife kicks me in the back... when she snores... i try to gently roll her over to stop it, and she kicks me for waking her up...

[dusky veldt]

how's your local secondhand? you could probably get something halfway decent for a fraction of the price
maybe even free

[red patio]

I've got a monitor back at home, but this 32 inch will be fine

Maybe I haven't had a look for risers tbf

[lilac remnant]

jesus lol

[red patio]

Tho I doubt any secondhand would have something like that

[dusky veldt]

the ikea monitor riser is super cute
costs a pretty penny new but i've seen them for like a quarter of the price used

[plucky pilot]

Yeah my internet is kinda nutty

[vapid smelt]

sounds like true love

[fossil frost]

i told her today, that if she starts off again tonight, im gonna wait until shes snoring super loud, so shes breathing in as deep as she can... and then im gonna fart near her face

she said she would punch me in the arsehole

[vapid smelt]

eat same bake beans before you go to bed

[red patio]

Ohhhh mb major miscommunication I thought you meant my speakers, the screen goes much higher than this, I just liked It at this height

[dusky veldt]

https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/elloven-monitor-stand-with-drawer-white-50474770/
this guy could be perfect for the space you have

[fossil frost]

he's trying to tell me that it's bed time...

[red patio]

That does look good tho, but looks at my message above yours xd

[dusky veldt]

maybe u should listen to him

[dusky veldt]

oh mybad lol

[vapid smelt]

family dollar has a mousepad for 1.25

[red patio]

Nono it's all good, I'm the one who misunderstood first

[red patio]

I'm going to get a desk mat dont worryyy

[wary dock]

My dog only does this during dinner. I may or may not be a messy eater.

Sometimes a pep falls off a pizza. I'm pretty sure it's because of El Nino.

[formal hemlock]

Hi there!! Found this server from Discord's discovery list 😄

[wary dock]

Discord has discoverability? Woah.

[sacred torrent]

is that with ethernet?

[plucky pilot]

Yeah but wifi is nearly just as good, one sec I'll do one with wifi

[sacred torrent]

Download Mbps
586.59
Upload Mbps
369.78
With USB wifi adapter ):

[plucky pilot]

Jk, wasn't as good as I thought

[wary dock]

What gen wifi?

[plucky pilot]

No idea, not my router

[rare otter]

I wanna ruin this with an extremely fucked up comment but I'm choosing not to

Have a nice day

[regal lintel]

perfectly fine speeds

[polar fern]

Sigh…

[regal lintel]

so who else here loves free healthcare

[polar fern]

Frrr?

[regal lintel]

i hate phones

[polar fern]

Then stop using them

[regal lintel]

i got checked by two medics gotten two intramuscular injections an ultrasound and a blood test for free

[polar fern]

Sweet

[regal lintel]

my organs are fine but bilirubin is a bit higb

[polar fern]

Fine organs.

[wispy marsh]

I got my mousepad for ~$60

[polar fern]

Mine are all ltt northern lights

[vapid smelt]

https://www.floatplane.com/post/yZIUhtUEI3 yall should buy floatplane

[polar fern]

Can’t. My cards only work in 50 states & PR

😔

[random jolt]

iirc they mentioned that they were working on gifting fp subs

[polar fern]

Ooo

[wary dock]

Is that common? I don't think I've seen that before.

[random jolt]

^ haven't really seen cards that only works in the US before

[polar fern]

It’s been the norm for like 15 years or so

[wary dock]

I guess that is one way to try to get people to buy local.

[wary dock]

What's the single biggest selling feature for you? 📝

[vapid smelt]

the cat video i sent

[wispy marsh]

TIL linkin park's new song was mode for Riot's LoL

[wary dock]

I must have missed it. Oh well. FP will get other chances at conversion.

[plucky pilot]

Definitely not the norm, your bank is just weird.

[polar fern]

Bank? What bank?

[wary dock]

credit card provider?

[vapid smelt]

us govermnet

[polar fern]

It’s a gift debit card

[plucky pilot]

Are you really just topping off a gift card?

[polar fern]

The benefit account doesn’t allow for standard debit card

No. New one each month.

[plucky pilot]

That's actually crazy

[polar fern]

Welcome to being disabled in America

[wary dock]

Oh it's like a social welfare card? I guess it kind of makes sense them limit them to local purchases.

[polar fern]

No.

[wary dock]

Dang. I was hoping the US had those.

[polar fern]

They do. This isn’t that.

Sigh.

Don’t get me wrong I’m very grateful that I have what I have, but it is pretty limiting.

There are some online stores in the United States that also do not accept my cards

[wispy marsh]

Oh, a prepaid debit card

[polar fern]

You also cannot directly use them for recurring payments, such as bills or subscriptions

Yes.

[plucky pilot]

Wow, that's actually ass

[wispy marsh]

Azure also doesn't allow for prepaid cards for their services

[polar fern]

I literally have a big pile of them because there’s no other way I can get my money from electronic in the bank to a form that I can actually use to purchase things

@plucky pilot you would be correct

[wispy marsh]

If only they can be transferred to a store credit or pharmacy credit

Places wouldn't want to do the administrative work. Debit value is nontransferable to other balances, too

[lilac remnant]

fuck the police

[polar fern]

I can use it to buy Amazon and Apple gift cards for myself thankfully, so I can pay for my iCloud storage and my disability discount Amazon prime.

[plucky pilot]

coming straight from the underground

[lilac remnant]

All good

[polar fern]

https://www.areyouokportraits.com/about

[strange elk]

No

[pallid falcon]

I support lgbtq incl. Trans :3

[rare otter]

I wish I had a support system

[polar fern]

I got to meet Jesse and view an exhibit based on his work this past weekend and it was really wonderful and inspiring, but also terrifying that kids and their families have to face such difficult realities

[rare otter]

But my family is Christian unfortunately
