anybody here that knows how to fix retro handhelds? and diagnose why they are not working???

[alpine gale]

That depends entirely on why they are not working indeed. #1027757333117415424 is a great place to start.

When is the 5090 and 5080 dropping? Or rumored to drop

[frank cave]

I've seen Jan or February. CEO of Nvidia is doing CES keynote on Jan 6th.

Some think that's when he'll unveil 50 series.

[rustic galleon]

Interesting

[pearl shell]

does buying an alienware monitor from amazon grant me the 3 year alienware warranty or I have to buy it from their website?

[robust saddle]

what are the chances they might deliver today, they've done it a few times and it sucks cause Im not home xd

[robust saddle]

When I bought mine it says 3 year warranty but I think you need to contact Alienware directly and not amazon cause I think amazon is like 30 or 90 day return date

[bleak hare]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now that helps thank you

[neon mesa]

I wanna make a 10-key macropad @manic torrent and this is my parts list so far 10x Mechanical switch - 10x Keycap - 80x Jumper cable - 830 points breadboard - 1x Arduino Pro Micro - 10x 1N4148 Diode
do you think i missed something? i will wire the keys in a 5x2 matrix. And yep this is the first time i touched arduino shit

i hate learning just the theories and i think making this shit will help me learn faster

[golden wave]

👨

[manic torrent]

1000000% doing a project is an awesome way to learn

[manic torrent]

You have absolutely missed something - don't worry about it, it's how it goes 😄

[neon mesa]

wha would it be

[manic torrent]

You'll find out!

[junior pollen]

yoo

[oblique matrix]

So I recently took my laptop to a local computer repair shop, and it had a corrupted drive (I figured this was the issue) but through some means they fixed it without replacing the SSD. The maintenance fee was 120 dollars , is this expensive for a repair ?

[manic torrent]

So they used their expert knowledge and fixed it?

<@&750150305383186585>

[coarse pawn]

lol

10k in 72 hours my head

[oblique matrix]

Yeah I guess , I think they reset the drive somehow , im not saying I could of done it but 120 I’m wondering if that’s a fair price for essentially no part replacements

[manic torrent]

Again, you paid an expert for their time and.... Expertise

If you needed new parts, it would have been on top of that

[split sand]

96fps average on medium settings, thats playable 😃

[hybrid vector]

For the Lian Li lancool 207, can the bottom gpu fans fit 140mm

For this case, can the bottom gpu fans fit 140mm

[fossil frost]

you are paying for the fact that they have spent many many hours over many many years, learning how to do this, and learning how to do it quickly.. you are not paying for them to just poke your laptop with a screwdriver for 5 minutes...

if you dont like that it costs $120 to get all your data back... dont pay it and lose all of your data

[hot mulch]

i dislike this clip its not the whole story

how you doing??

[past pond]

good, what about you?

[oblique matrix]

1. I was just asking if it was a fair price not that i was not okay with paying it and 2. im not getting all my data back xD he said the drive is getting wiped

[edgy sparrow]

i'm pretty good mate

[gusty jacinth]

Does enyone know if the new windows 11 update has been fixed? (KB5043145)

[wet berry]

Looks like they just have a rollback for now.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-23h2#microsoft-is-investigating-reports-of-reboot-issues

[jaunty compass]

the fastest one you can find

[gusty jacinth]

Better than nothing, i guess its safe to update then.

[runic escarp]

hi there
any feedback from PNY users? i didn't read a lot of good reviews... any advice?
I don't know if for the same budget i should buy a 4080 super from theme? Or a 4070 Ti Super from Gigabyte/Asus/MSI?

[strange elk]

Steamdeck?

It'll be sober client rather than roblox (which is basically just using the android version but its solid)

[fresh sorrel]

just whatever the best spec small form factor pc is, can check minisforum, or a bunch on amazon

[strange elk]

Because amazon is a trustworthy platform for buying cheaper electronics (or literally anything else) lmao

[fresh sorrel]

theyre just a bunch of generic mini pcs, alternative is like aliexpress

[strange elk]

Idk they are looking more appealing.

Nucs are getting cheaper on ebay, 10th gen should be playable enough

Don't y'all have jawa

[tropic gulch]

want to make a itx build for 1600e thats a noticeable upgrade from what I have now

[velvet plover]

Any ideas on how to convince my dad to let me buy a PC (with my money I should add)
His main arguments are as follows:
I have a Chromebook and rly old windows, am I being ungrateful?
Why do I need it, I am supposed to focus on school, not having fun.
We don’t have space (we do).
It’s such a waste of money.

[pallid falcon]

Are you in high school, college, or..

[vital oak]

what ru using the pc for

[velvet plover]

High school

[manic torrent]

All work and no play makes jack a dull boy

[velvet plover]

Mainly to program and game, but also for engineering in university when I get there

[vital oak]

fair

[velvet plover]

The other thing I forgot about is that he said he wants me to invest the money

[pallid falcon]

Hmm.

If your in a game development course could say its because of that.

[manic torrent]

investing money only gets you more money.

[vital oak]

investing is useless when you need to use the money

[velvet plover]

Yea, but he says I spend to much time doing that and so while he likes it he dosnt love the idea of a more powerful device to allow me to do more

[velvet plover]

I k but I need to make that point to my dad

[pallid falcon]

God damn but aren't you needing more practice or else you might fail your class?

😉

[velvet plover]

I’m not in a class for it

I just do it on the side

[vital oak]

is it your money

[velvet plover]

Yes

[manic torrent]

I'm old enough to be your dad, and I play computer games and I have multiple computers and RGB and etc. 😄

[vital oak]

i am not old enough to be your dad and i have 1 pc with no rgb and 2 most likely dead pcs

[velvet plover]

Yea, that’s what I want, I’ve planned a build, and now I just need to convince him

The first one

[vital oak]

just tell him you need a new system for your endeavours

[velvet plover]

i did and he said he dosnt think so

thats what i said this morning

[vital oak]

how does he know dat..

[vital oak]

also it definitely is not a waste of money

a chromebook probably is not

pcs are upgradable

[vital oak]

idk why this message sent after the other one

[velvet plover]

he pretty much said i spend to much time programing (i dont, like max 20min a day) and he says its to much so he dosnt want me spending more by getting a new pc

[velvet plover]

thats what i said to him lol

just a q, do you think telling him its like older person legos is a good argument

[vital oak]

what else is better to send ur time doing

[vital oak]

Probably not

[velvet plover]

being outside with freinds

[vital oak]

well thats stupid

[velvet plover]

ik, also i live like a 30 min drive away from my freinds, so i usualy just call and game with them

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but money

[velvet plover]

but like i worked for the money so i think i should be allowed to get a pc with it

[vital oak]

tell him that lol

[lavish elm]

any graphics designers in this chat?

[harsh quartz]

Oh I have no idea what convo I just hopped in I was just responding to bob :p

[velvet plover]

🙂

[lavish elm]

dawg my parents are like that. i am 21 and they are like why are you gaming, keep working smh

(yes i live with my parents at 21 but i just graduated uni)

[velvet plover]

im 16 and like did work in the summer and have money to spend and am in IB for school so like idk hes just anoyying or smh

[harsh quartz]

I live with mine at 23. Looked at getting a mortgage and it was at damn near 8 percent, said fuck that

[lavish elm]

yeah same lmao. rather buy a nice car than a property atm. rather live with my parents and just help out at home. as an asian it is perfectly normal. but it is frowned upon, especially in the UK

[velvet plover]

thats so real

[vital oak]

uk is weird

[lavish elm]

lmao, it is awful. i saw this nice CL500 for like 9k, i could easily buy it but insurance is like 3x the car

[harsh quartz]

I’ve got a “nice” car, paid off a few years back, right now I’m just banking away as much as I can to try and move out. Need a better job though and the market is fucked right now

[velvet plover]

k, is this a good list of arguments:

• its upgradable
• its for uni
• its for the experiance a bit
• i want a setup so that i have multiple monitors
• my old laptop runs slow

[harsh quartz]

I’d argue it’s not as frowned upon as people think now. It’s very common for this generation, at least in the US

[vital oak]

yeah

[velvet plover]

id say its common but still frowned apon, which i think is dumb

kinda like fortnight for a little bit

[harsh quartz]

Fuck Fortnite

[velvet plover]

ik

but its a fair analogy

[vital oak]

that is actually a good analogy

[harsh quartz]

But only older generations frown on it now, In my experience. My parents are down with it and so are most the 40-60YOs I’ve met. The only people I’ve seen that have an issue with it are grandparents, 60+

[velvet plover]

k, my parents would throw a fit if i was out of uni and wanted to live with them. Theyed be all like you wont get anywere in life you stupid

[harsh quartz]

Maybe a USA thing, idk. But our markets are fucked so, what can ya do

[lavish elm]

yeah property prices are too high now. parents are planning to buy another one. but good lord these properties are NOT worth what they are selling for. it is impossible to find something nice.

[vital oak]

but then they dont let u get the equipment to pursue something

[harsh quartz]

Bruh, lemme see if I can find the funniest shit I’ve seen

[velvet plover]

yea, ik

[lavish elm]

easily. just look at properties in like Chelsea. there are people selling garages for like 500k

[vital oak]

well yeah but chelsea sucks

[velvet plover]

but like i get there poinyt a bit tbh, like that pc would be for fun, and i have a laptop for school, so its more of an enjoyment thing for now

[velvet plover]

thats a good price

[lavish elm]

a garage dude 😭😭

[velvet plover]

where im at a 1 bed apartment is in the millios

[lavish elm]

i mean youre getting things in it

[velvet plover]

live in it

[vital oak]

wow that is crazy

[lavish elm]

this is just a garage no bathroom no kitchen just slab of concrete and walls

[vital oak]

i am never movingnto a city lmfaoo

unless i find oil or something

[harsh quartz]

There’s a “house” here selling for 50k. It’s in the woods in the middle of nowhere. It’s 720sqft. Got 1.3 acres. It has a wood stove in one of the rooms for heating, and the bathroom is outside. it STARTED at 70k and has come down cause it’s been listed for a year

[velvet plover]

bruh thats cheap

[harsh quartz]

It’s literally falling apart

[velvet plover]

lowest house in my city is like 2 million, and thats for a falling apart as well

[harsh quartz]

This isn’t city this is middle of the woods

[pallid falcon]

@velvet plover tell your dad a kobold on ltt's discord said its ok to buy that pc

[velvet plover]

sure

hell be so confused

[harsh quartz]

He probably hates kobolds

[pallid falcon]

[pallid falcon]

ok?

[velvet plover]

hey i just had a funny video idea for linus: How to convince you parents to let you buy a PC
linus and someone need to convince some old grandparents to let them buy PCs

[spiral zodiac]

Any idea when the ltt precision screwdriver kit will be in stock again?

[pallid falcon]

blackmail

[harsh quartz]

Mines not even shipping for like 2 months :p

[velvet plover]

but like fr, im gonna try to convinvce him before prime day ends so that i can use those discounts

[harsh quartz]

[pallid falcon]

[velvet plover]

[velvet plover]

nice, since tech chat is on fire, does anyone know if the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X has integrated graphics? i might wait till the 50 series to get a gpu, or i might get like a cheap 3060 for now

[daring yacht]

ima get a 4090 soon

[strange elk]

[daring yacht]

then 5090 lol

[strange elk]

Ok

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[tired glade]

And 6090,if it will exist

[velvet plover]

Sry I should chance just googles

[spiral zodiac]

@daring yacht why waste thousands on a 4090 and then a 5090 not even a year later.

[short rock]

lmg.gg shortlinks are down?

[fossil frost]

Because they are lying for attention on the internet

[velvet plover]

[short rock]

yo look at this fancy new trick that I found
it's called googling your doubts

[pallid falcon]

they're all taking me to linustechtips.com

[balmy owl]

Did LTT ever make a video on alternatives to Firefox? Last update added too much bloat so I wanted to try something else that wasn't Chromium based. Is Waterfox any good?

[short rock]

okay is google dumb or am I just not braining properly

[pallid falcon]

at least floatplane

[short rock]

yup it works now

[pallid falcon]

[daring yacht]

cause I have the money

and why would I lie

I dont care what people in a ltt chat think

[spiral zodiac]

@fossil frost like, I'm plenty happy with my mere 6700xt. I'll never understand the e-peen contest

[harsh quartz]

Then why say it to begin with?

[daring yacht]

cause someone mentioned the 50 series

[spiral zodiac]

I could buy a 4090 or whatever high end gpu's are out there. I'd rather spend the 2k building my ebike. And then another 3k building a new motor for my wrx wagon, and then a new 13b-rew for my rx7 lol

[daring yacht]

actually it takes me a bit to make the money for that when does the 5090 come out?

[spiral zodiac]

Like, a gpu is nice, but an rx7 is far sweeter lol

[daring yacht]

oh 2025

[fossil frost]

Then why brag about it? You brag about it for attention. And you made such a stupid brag, it's clearly lies

[daring yacht]

I will prob by a 40 then 50

[daring yacht]

why would I lie

there is no point

I am not bragging

[fossil frost]

Attention seeker. That's why most people do it

[spiral zodiac]

And an ebike that let's me spend 0 on gas commuting is nice lol

[daring yacht]

I am discussing, because someone has more money than you does not mean they are lying if you are insecure about your current financial situation fix it

[gilded quest]

Is that guy really so incompetent they can't find a damn specs page

[spiral zodiac]

Lol like, I could blow thousands on a pc. But I don't care about it. I'd rather spend hundreds or thousands on a proper server

[daring yacht]

what u getting server for?

[harsh quartz]

I mean, it’s a good attempt at rage baiting, but not in this server, you know how many fuckin whales we got here?

[fossil frost]

My financial situation isn't the one in question. I'm questioning yours. And you are doing the typical attention seeking liar tactic of deflecting now too

[daring yacht]

I am going to go I dont care what you guys think happy this feels fulfilling too you

So far I only have 128gb installed in it. I plan on upgrading the cpu's and adding another 128gb.

Currently only has dual 6 core/12 thread cpu's and I want to upgrade it to dual 20/40 thread's.

Already have a qnap nas with something like 30tb of space. 7x 6tb drives in raid 6.

[heady meadow]

Beefy

[spiral zodiac]

Mainly for 3d scanning of automotive parts

Nah, not even that beefy

It's a super old system lol. A healthy 9950x would keep up or surpass it

e5 2968 v4 cpu's

"Ryzen 9 9950X outperforms Xeon E5-2683 v4 by a whopping 277% based on our aggregate benchmark results."

Lol yep. Two xeons are still slower. But also cost way less

[spice wing]

Fucking great, my country just blocked Discord

[graceful burrow]

Jealous

[spiral zodiac]

Two of those cpu's are like....150 bucks

And a 9950x is 750 lol.

[lilac bear]

just vote bro

[spiral zodiac]

Another 128gb of ram and dual cpu upgrade is like 300-350usd. So, although it's slower. It's way cheaper.

[primal kayak]

[graceful burrow]

What

These aren't even new lol

[wide furnace]

but 10 k

i mean it is like for ai and stuff

but 10 k for 1

[short rock]

first time i'm seeing ECC gddr6 memory

[graceful burrow]

Yeah they aren't and never were for consumers
10k is a drop in the bucket when we're talking about enterprise hardware

[wide furnace]

yeah fair enough

e

[wide furnace]

its the only result i get

yea

forgor tho

[harsh quartz]

Yeah you get a free heart attack if it ever leaks

[fossil frost]

mostly just noise, with some setups, you can overclock more, but, you sort of have to know what you are doing to take advantage of that

[tepid jasper]

looks

and temps

[fossil frost]

thats subjective rather than objective

[tepid jasper]

true

[fossil frost]

plenty

[tepid jasper]

i could probably cool a 5600 by sitting on it

[fossil frost]

overclocking is more just to get the free performance for the sake of getting it... extreme overclocking is for meaningless internet points

[tepid jasper]

but ehat if cinebench is my favourite game

[graceful burrow]

The stock air cooler can cool that

[tepid jasper]

yes but imo atp buy a 3090

lmao the aldonist setup

[graceful burrow]

Well now we're just building my pc

[tepid jasper]

5600 and a 3090

[graceful burrow]

Good luck getting crucial ballistix ram tho

[wide furnace]

i hate how spectrum is scamming me because we paid for 400mbts/s a long while ago and now that they dont offer the specificaly 400mbts/s anymore they are charging for it but we dont even get 300 ever and it randomly cuts out

[tepid jasper]

well on the bright side i havent had any issues with the 5950x yet

[fossil frost]

complain to them, nothing we can do about it in discord

[tepid jasper]

i sold my 3090 for $600 canadian

[fossil frost]

mine is still going strong, heavily overclocked, and running 3800mhz cl16 with pretty decent timings too

[wide furnace]

yea ik they said they would look into it but never did anything

weve been calling every wed

[fossil frost]

and they wont, until you try and cancel and go somewhere else

[tepid jasper]

i got mine for free because this one supposedly suffers from the cache hiearchy 0 error

[wide furnace]

yea thats what im about to do got any sugestions?

[fossil frost]

i dont live in the usa, so, anywhere

[wide furnace]

oh

dang

[fossil frost]

i got mine for, less than full price, because i ordered a 5800x and a 5950x came

[tepid jasper]

LMAO

someone said double it and give it to the next person when they were offered 8 cores

[fossil frost]

if anything ever goes wrong with it though, im boned, because its not like i can send it back to amazon, they will think im taking the piss 😄

[wide furnace]

im just curious what is the most powerful gpu for gaming is it the 4090?

[vapid smelt]

Yup

[wide furnace]

i also heard you might as well just buy the 4090 and not any special editions is that true?

[vapid smelt]

All 4090 are the same just with different coolers and some insignificant factory ocs

[wide furnace]

i ment like the ti and founder

[fossil frost]

ti is always more powerful than non-ti, founder edition is just the original one

[graceful burrow]

There is no 4090ti

[vapid smelt]

We have no 4090ti or supers the max is the 4090

[fossil frost]

there can be SLIGHT difference between the different AIB manufacturers, since some do a small factory OC... but on the whole, they are all within 1% of each other

[wide furnace]

ye

[shut ginkgo]

Hi

[vapid smelt]

Some can be special binned like the kingpins back when we had them

[wide furnace]

i was also wondering if there would be a way to fake a wifi connection to say, disable adds for a phone program

[graceful burrow]

Not unless you could replicate the servers they try to connect to

[wide furnace]

from what ive experienced some (the ones im using) seem to check for a "connection" but only to the wifi and not the internet or atleast i guess

yea

i am toopid please explain in idiot

if you dont mind

[fossil frost]

yes you can root a phone and block ads, but you should really mention that you were trying to do it on a phone

[wide furnace]

so like a cuckoo does with eggs but eggs are the changes?

also, if you ever speak to an Australian.. "rooting" means an entirely different thing 😄

[wide furnace]

oh yea...

also it is perfect

"As brood parasites, cuckoos do not raise their own young, instead laying eggs in the nests of other birds"

ahhh

ahhh ok

[fossil frost]

rooting is modifying the system software of your phone to give you full system level access to the phone. some manufacturers support it, but many dont. so for some phones, it requires exploits, some, it requires changing a setting and rebooting

[wide furnace]

like giving yourself trustedinstaller

[fossil frost]

no, its like giving yourself SYSTEM on windows, or logging in as "root" on linux

[wide furnace]

ohhhhhhhhh

ye its system

but its kinda like a feedback loop

[fossil frost]

SYSTEM is the account that windows its self uses to authorise services, or drivers, or the kernel its self

[wide furnace]

because trused installer owns system and vice versa

[strange elk]

Imagine trusting installer

[wide furnace]

[fossil frost]

i use windows because i cant be bothered to use all the same software, but on linux, with extra steps, and it works 80% of the time ,rather than 100% of the time...

when i was a child, like most people in here, when i had time and effort, to put into tinkering, i did... but these days, i have a full time job, 3 kids and 2 dogs... time i spend doing stuff for myself now, i dont want to spend debugging the operating system

[tired glade]

But you can toon software for your needs on Linux

[pseudo verge]

hiya!

[fossil frost]

ive written C for 22 years on windows, if you cant install a c toolchain on windows that works properly, you are doing something deeply wrong

[strange elk]

I can't be bothered to continually worry about my operating system breaking, adding features I dont want, disrespecting the fact I own my machine and getting in my way by just existing.

[wide furnace]

any leads to get started in cybersec

still in hs tho

😦

[fossil frost]

i never had to do that.. and, just dont keep reinstalling windows.. install it and be happy with it

[strange elk]

Theres hackthebox

[fossil frost]

incorrect

[strange elk]

ParrotOS has a build thats basically made for the "course"

[fossil frost]

not hidden, its part of the visual studio installer, you can choose to install just the tools, or the whole ide, its very simple to do

[tired glade]

People,the biggest difference between Linux and Windows is your will to use corporate software

[strange elk]

What?

[fossil frost]

vs2003 through to 2012, was laggy, because .net framework was loaded no matter what you were doing.. since 2015, its not, its only loaded if you need it, same for most components

[harsh quartz]

Also the ability* to use corporate software. Some of the software our company uses just won’t work on Linux

[tired glade]

I mean, you can change the company to pay less for licences

[strange elk]

Pfft

[fossil frost]

most mainstream linux distributions are corporation backed too, thats why they are mainstream

MS, google, dell, hp, to name a few

[strange elk]

Linux itself is

the distros are too

was that the IT exam that Linus struggled in?

[full fossil]

was trash

outdated too

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, Comptia A+ is bullshit

[full fossil]

yup

[harsh quartz]

It even got updated/refreshed while I was studying, all that changed was it went from win10 to win11 and everything else stayed the same

[full fossil]

lol

plus refresh

[fossil frost]

LMG violated copyright and various other contracts they had when they signed up to do the exam, and they violated it against a company known to go to court over the smallest thing

im not surprised the video is down

[harsh quartz]

I was very surprised they greenlit it

[full fossil]

why?

[fossil frost]

that too

[harsh quartz]

Considering it’s one of those tests that your not even supposed to talk about the answers without legal repercussions

[fossil frost]

not getting sued, is a massive part of making money in business

[full fossil]

ofc linus would green light that

[harsh quartz]

He’s not stupid….Most the time

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-honkaiipmact3rd-honkaiimpact-gif-25643515

[harsh quartz]

When you create the account and agree to the test conditions, you agree to not share information about the test. What are you not comprehending

[full fossil]

this

[fossil frost]

you violate a contract you sign, with a company who is known to sue anybody over any little thing... you get sued by them... by showing anything at all about the exam, which is a violation of that contract, they were very likely to get sued

[harsh quartz]

What about it?

[bleak crow]

True!

[fossil frost]

while his character is an idiot, linus isnt his character

[harsh quartz]

Linus has created a very successful company. He knows how to not be stupid.

[patent harness]

Agreed.

I can make a better company in a day

[harsh quartz]

I triple dog dare you to do it

Now you have to

It’s legally binding

[strange elk]

Comptia is worthless. If they weren't they prob wouldn't get a video

[full fossil]

He green lights stuff related to piracy and pisses off nintendo from time to time

His character isn't an idiot he just doesn't care to respect any BS that isn't a lawsuit

[harsh quartz]

They are extremely careful what they actually say in those videos.

[fossil frost]

he greenlights stuff talking about it, and what it is... he never committed piracy on video, he never directed somebody TO do it, and showed them how

[harsh quartz]

But Comptia doesn’t care if your careful about what you release, it’s a blanket NDA

[harsh quartz]

Also his character is absolutely a bumbling dumbass

[full fossil]

Charecter might be the wrong word?

Instead of charecter their hosting style to make content engaging and entertaining

Battery backup/uninterruptible power supply

[fossil frost]

if you dont know why you need one, then you dont need one

[harsh quartz]

Surge protector that can also be a battery backup, for a short period. It will also help keep stable power if you have a lot of surges/flickers/brownouts

[fossil frost]

as polar said, surge protector with battery backup, protects against if you have crappy power in your country/area, generally recommended if you work on your computer and dont want to lose data if the power does go out

[vapid zephyr]

So you're saying just because I don't know why I need a ball pen instead of a feather laced with ink, I don't need a ball pen?

[fossil frost]

you dont NEED a ball pen, you want a ball pen for convenience

Damn, I suppose people should go back to horses then

[sick valley]

[vapid zephyr]

Why use the airplane if boats are a thing

Why use boats if you can have a raft anyway

Ah fuck it, a couple of floaties will do

[fossil frost]

you are trying to reverse the argument, but doing that is a fallacy. just because you dont NEED it, doesnt mean its not convenient, and not useful..

[harsh quartz]

I recommend surge protectors, but for most consumer shit that’s enough. It’s typically used for critical infrastructure like servers/medical equipment that need to stay active for like 5 more minutes so you can shut them down properly

[vapid zephyr]

I'm saying your argument is beyond pointless
We don't 'need' a vast majority of things, doesn't mean you should discourage people from getting them

[harsh quartz]

UPS, is it handy? Sure. Is it important? Not for the average consumer. Just use a surge protectors

[vapid zephyr]

Your dumbass can clown emoji as much as you want, you have literally no points against it lmao

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, they’re definitely less important than they used to be

They’re bringing over TC1 grumpiness

TC1 went to shit a few minutes ago

[vapid zephyr]

Hm? Nah

That's how I talk, I just called them out on their hipocrisy lmao

[fossil frost]

arguments against what? my argument was that they dont need it, and they dont need it... and "if you dont know why you need it, you probably dont need it" is true for a lot of things... im not arguing against a UPS, im arguing against wasting money for the sake of wasting it just because some youtuber told you that you "need" something

[vapid zephyr]

[harsh quartz]

I thought I fried a monitor today cause when I plugged it in it sparked hard as fuck. But apparently someone else was plugging in the other end at the same time so it shorted, but didn’t damage the monitor, thank fuck

[harsh quartz]

[vapid zephyr]

I don't either, it's just the very first thing that came to my mind and sounded funny

[fossil frost]

its common in australia

[harsh quartz]

What isn’t?

[vapid zephyr]

Victories in war against literal birds

[vapid zephyr]

Oh for sure lmao

[fossil frost]

listened to podcasts about that, read books on it, and still find it funny every time it gets brought up... the entire government of australia sunk a fortune into killing emus... and didnt do... anything

[harsh quartz]

Yo, threatlocker about to get fucked up. Hope it doesn’t lose service

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, in the emu war they managed to kill about a thousand of them

.. out of 700,000.

[fossil frost]

and isnt that number thought to be overly inflated? because one guy kept bringing back the same emu over and over again

they never kept the emus that were killed, so people just kept bringing them back whenever they needed money

[vapid zephyr]

I was talking about the overall population, pretty sure they didn't even know how many there were exactly

[fossil frost]

i mean the number that was killed.. they think it was far fewer than they originally thought now

[vapid zephyr]

The 20,000 figure were only the emus known to actively migrate to western australia and cause problems to fields lmao

[vapid zephyr]

Ah, no idea
Google says 986 confirmed killed, can't really verify that 92 years later

yeah do you have to be banned for it. It was not random too. it was when I was talking to people in comments about the game. so most of them were :look at this clip it shows how to do this etcc" and maybe sub while your there. but I guess they can do what they want

[harsh quartz]

The only 2 people I ever blocked in this server :p

[long briar]

Lowkey I remember in the past like 2019 days Dimmskii was pretty alright

then I took a hiatus came back and he was hated

[vapid smelt]

[harsh quartz]

Commander is current. Dimmskii, bss, and gum all are previous tenants

[neon mesa]

Commander is nowhere near as annoying though

[vapid zephyr]

Commander is the guy known for annoying AI responses and calling people mentally unstable for an hour straight after people disagreed with what he said
Dimmski was known for being an asshole that has monologues with himself for two hours straight, spamming the channel
Gumball was known for inciting arguments and spreading false information in belief they were right, even after being disproven, usually resorting to verbal abuse and ad hominem upon being proven wrong (regardless of being respectful or not)

[hot tartan]

Oh i didnt know Commander did that

[vapid zephyr]

He 100% wanted to call people the r-word but couldn't because it's in the filter lmao

[hot tartan]

God damn lol, had no idea

Just thought he was incredibly incoherent, didnt know he did that too

[graceful burrow]

Like I said, been running canary for a hot minute, never seen an ad

Maybe do a bit more research or actually use it before fear mongering people

[full fossil]

They did put ads in windows preview and got a large amount of backlash

[unreal thicket]

Actually using it is good

[graceful burrow]

I was in preview, never saw one

[full fossil]

hence they did not get past preview

[harsh quartz]

Microsoft has been shilling game pass for years. Adding a section in that bloated fuckin start menu isn’t even a big deal. Honestly computers coming preinstalled with uninstallable mcafee is a much bigger issue IMO

[graceful burrow]

I run multiple computers lmao

[unreal thicket]

Good choice

[full fossil]

I personally cited multiple sources INCLUDING LMG

[graceful burrow]

Lmg is a shitty source

[unreal thicket]

McAfee is uninstallable?

[full fossil]

L take

[graceful burrow]

Regardless of ALL of that

These are all outdated lmao

[harsh quartz]

The verge is also not a good source

[unreal thicket]

But I never saw one personally

[unreal thicket]

Yes

[graceful burrow]

I thought your integrity was better than this spamton

This is ztt levels of misleading another person

[full fossil]

Here an example

@graceful burrow here you go

[harsh quartz]

So. It depends. Technically yes. But if it’s preinstalled, it can be the version where it has an “application” on each user profile, so you “uninstall the application” and then make a new user and it pops up on the new user. Even though you “uninstalled” it from the computer.

[graceful burrow]

Never saw it lmao

[unreal thicket]

Disastrous but never saw in action

[graceful burrow]

Oh no they tested ads for a few hundred people out of hundreds of thousands and it never made it to a stable update oh no

[graceful burrow]

The horror
The travesty

[unreal thicket]

So you need to uninstall it user by user?

[harsh quartz]

Oh no, people said fuck off and they fucked off

[graceful burrow]

WEIRD

[harsh quartz]

Or figure out where it’s actually installed. I still haven’t managed that one.

[graceful burrow]

This info is irrelevant and makes you look like you're giving advice in bad faith.

[unreal thicket]

Right

[unreal thicket]

I don't know, I uninstalled it day one, never saw it again lmao

[harsh quartz]

To disregard the most common place operating system because it shills you game pass in the start menu, most of which is empty space that you look at for like 2 seconds, is wild

[harsh quartz]

It’s only some versions of it, and I haven’t figured out the difference.

[unreal thicket]

Exactly

Linux is good and all but don't lash windows because of it

[graceful burrow]

We'll also conveniently forget win10 used to come with candy crush and Netflix and the like pre-installed on windows, and when you'd uninstall them, the next windows update would reinstall them

We'll forget about that.
Conveniently.

[unreal thicket]

That's a nightmare

[graceful burrow]

Just for convenience we'll forget

[full fossil]

@harsh quartz I agree with you that is why I provided multiple sources

[harsh quartz]

Linux is fine for YOU to use. But to switch whole companies or whole groups of companies to a new OS that no one is comfortable with would be dumb

[unreal thicket]

Wait that happened?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that was a thing lol

[unreal thicket]

I guess I forgot

[harsh quartz]

And the linkdin shortcut everyone forgets about

[graceful burrow]

I remember fighting it on like 4 computers of me and my buds
All official iso's from Microsoft themselves

[full fossil]

Actually it depends on the region lol

[graceful burrow]

Installed with the media creation tool downloaded from Microsoft

[harsh quartz]

Aight let me take you to one of my clinics tomorrow and you try to find one singular user comfortable with it.

[full fossil]

The region you select preinstalls quite a bit

[long briar]

where are you getting the metrics? 1 million is still a very small % of the population.

[unreal thicket]

Most users are just comfortable with what they were taught with at first

So switching them to linux is not good for workflow

[harsh quartz]

Was it an exaggeration? Yes. Was it a WILD overstatement that had no basis in reality? No.

How many of these are private machines or servers vs how many of these are end users in commercial environments

[unreal thicket]

I don't think commercial places use linux

[long briar]

As much as I love tomshardware reviews, they also fall into the clickbait title category

[full fossil]

just buy it @long briar

[unreal thicket]

My college has linux but well only in computer department so yeah

[long briar]

like Arc becoming an actual competitor in GPU space when it got 1% market share, then when it dropped near 0 again everyone said "Arc is being pushed out"

[harsh quartz]

They can. Theres no reason they can’t. Except no one almost no one would be able to use it at first.

When your whole life flashes before your eyes, how much of it do you want to not have ray tracing?

[unreal thicket]

What 😂

[harsh quartz]

Except I will say, dollar general has a VERY good register system. Idk what it’s based on but it’s just text based. It’s an extreme simple text menu that lists options 1-10 and you hit the key you want. That’s it. And even with that simple of a system I still had difficulty training people :p

[long briar]

exactly. saying "no one is comfortable with Linux" is a hyperbole, it was intended that way. but 5% in the grand scheme of things is not a lot at all

[full fossil]

Tomshardware edited the article a little but it was AMAZING clickbait when it came out about the RTX 20's series

[harsh quartz]

All of it. Honestly raytracing is way fuckin overhyped and has made possibly great games worse

[unreal thicket]

Hmm

[harsh quartz]

Let’s be real though. Those were the years of the steamdeck boom.

[long briar]

Steamdeck.

[unreal thicket]

I am not saying Linux is bad but I really don't think commercial places should use it. Windows and sometimes mac does really good job.

[harsh quartz]

No but it’s an outlier and I don’t think you can disprove that

[unreal thicket]

Linux is still like for nerd kids

[full fossil]

@unreal thicket please read this for context

[unreal thicket]

Normal people won't get used to it

[wide furnace]

thoughts https://pcpartpicker.com/user/liverygone/saved/gDJs8d

[harsh quartz]

But it is a saturation issue. Give it a year or two and it will slow. You won’t see the same boom when steam deck 2 comes out.

[unreal thicket]

3 decades, that's long time

[graceful burrow]

3

[harsh quartz]

Hey, In 3 decades, if everything is Linux, great, then we’ll have this debate about “well 30 years ago they said Ubuntu would never beat arch and look at it know”

But that’s not relevant to todays market

[full fossil]

bro you don't have any fans?

why the controller?

[wide furnace]

case

[harsh quartz]

What was the original point of this argument

[graceful burrow]

/10

[harsh quartz]

Windows 11 is fine.

[lilac bear]

Windows 11 is serviceable

[graceful burrow]

It was calling out misinformation on win11

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but the Linux vs windows argument is boring so I’m bringing it back to something else

Coopa is not superior

[lilac bear]

343 Industries rebrands to Halo Studios and produces AI generated models and textures that look like crap

[graceful burrow]

Hope you're not allergic to a 357 round for that one

[full fossil]

@wide furnace add another memory kit also idk about your PSU?
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
4070 RTX
only a 750 watts seasonic psu

[harsh quartz]

OH that explains the memes I’ve been seeing

Man I’ve been confused all fuckin day

[full fossil]

40's series spikes are insane although very short

[wide furnace]

keyword *budget

[harsh quartz]

Halo 4 was the last halo game. And that’s stretching it

[unreal thicket]

I am still not saying that it is uncomfortable to use. It's just that people are really ass at switching in workplaces. So I don't think they will.

[graceful burrow]

Wasn't worse than 30 series and caused even less trouble than 30 series
By a lot
a lot

[lilac bear]

honestly this
they're planning to do a remake/remaster of the first Halo game as the next one

[harsh quartz]

Oh yeah cause they did SOOO well with the MCC

[unreal thicket]

I've never played it. Is it good?

[harsh quartz]

That was because windows 8 changed the way the basic OS operated.

[lilac bear]

you say this but the dude that led MCC is one of the higher ups in Halo Studios

[harsh quartz]

Meh

[full fossil]

I'm suggestion you get a 1000 watt power supply anyways

[harsh quartz]

This means nothing

[gusty marsh]

This is sad, but true.

[full fossil]

and upgrade the ram later

[unreal thicket]

Win 8 was a disaster. Many people didn't make the switch until win 10 came.

[wide furnace]

brother i dont have a job

[unreal thicket]

They are

[unreal thicket]

Ohh

[lilac bear]

that one yes

[graceful burrow]

It still kinda sucks
It loves to disconnect co-op games

[full fossil]

why is everyone questioning me when they have a 4070 and ryzen 9 7900????

[lilac bear]

but Halo Studios is using Unreal Engine now

[unreal thicket]

Then go get one

[harsh quartz]

This doesn’t surprise me when it comes to computers. This DOES surprised me how little people know how to operate their own fucking cell phones that they use 25/8

[graceful burrow]

Because that doesn't need a kilowatt kek

[wide furnace]

cant i live near springfeild

[unreal thicket]

Yep

[unreal thicket]

What is that

[harsh quartz]

Nashville area?

[long briar]

from your source - it seems macos users are just switching to Linux and Windows, rather than windows losing market share to Linux

[wide furnace]

searh up "Springfield, oh. probem"

[full fossil]

@wide furnace if your system randomly shuts off when you try to play games at maxed out settings I'm going to say I told you so in #1027757333117415424

[unreal thicket]

Lol

[graceful burrow]

(it won't)

[harsh quartz]

Unreal engine is sick. But the last 3 halo games didn’t suck because they had a bad engine.

[wide furnace]

well can you help me then it cant be over $1,800

[long briar]

the original statement was saying switching from Windows or Macos to Linux - but Linux has been growing the same way Windows has also been growing. So it's Macos that is taking the hit

[graceful burrow]

Can't wait for the next halo to need a 4090 and 7800x3d to hit 60fps at 1080p

[lilac bear]

I can't believe they have enough money to rework a whole ass engine then abandon it anyway

[graceful burrow]

"hhurr just use frame Gen and upscaling"

"our game is optimized guise"

[harsh quartz]

Can’t wait for halo infinite 2. With a story expansion and co-op that gets cancelled just to rework the shop

[lilac bear]

still frame stutters

[wide furnace]

please

[harsh quartz]

I’m still fucking baffled that infinite cancelled the coop mode

[graceful burrow]

Watch em add denuvo on top

[harsh quartz]

Kek

[lilac bear]

I swear LMAO

[harsh quartz]

What was that game that removed denuvo recently cause everyone said the performance was so bad?

[graceful burrow]

Which one

[full fossil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NZX728

What do you think? just a few changes

[graceful burrow]

200 dollar psu

For a build that doesn't hit 850w is crazy

[full fossil]

62$ increase

[graceful burrow]

62 that doesn't need to be spent

[lilac bear]

probably Outlaws

[graceful burrow]

Realistically a half decent 750w would power that just fine

[lilac bear]

3 weeks ago

[harsh quartz]

I think it was. I don’t remember.

[lilac bear]

Outlaws.. is much that

not an outstanding game

750w would be fine, even at full tilt

Also Amazon renewed aio?
Insane

I ain't high enough for this one

[gilded quest]

I wish I was high enough to impulse buy pentax 17

[graceful burrow]

The new one?

[full fossil]

a new production 35mm film camera?

[graceful burrow]

It's honestly priced a lot more reasonably that I expected

[full fossil]

I thought we saw eye to eye on so much stuff before we talked PSU's

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I just prefer being correct more I guess

[full fossil]

I prefer over spending on important parts
