[sage quiver]

Of course it was a 2b2t player

[fossil frost]

im the same age as linus, i have had the same look 😄

[lilac bear]

old news

[sage quiver]

How many hours…

[lilac bear]

April to October

[winged spire]

no banana for scale

water for scale though

[sage quiver]

Yes

[dusky jacinth]

Yep, lmao.

[sage quiver]

Water

[dusky jacinth]

I'm trying to remember which exact dupe it was at the time, but it really ran his system ragged.

[sage quiver]

The cat and mouse game of preventing dupes on the LTT server was a fun one

[winged spire]

150kg of plastic, 6 months with 3 printers (sometimes not all at once)

[sage quiver]

Especially given some of the players came from the 2b community

[winged spire]

apparently by the end all 3 of dude's printers were busted lmao

should have used a mk3s, those things are invincible

[sage quiver]

Surprised they lasted that long

[dusky jacinth]

One of the oldest anarchy Minecraft servers that still runs to this day.

I was certain that after the 1.19.2 update debacle, something was gonna go sideways, but the server still continues.

[winged spire]

ive got like 10000+ hours on my MK3s

[mortal kraken]

I think it'll stay alive for a long time

[winged spire]

need new bearings now but im far too lazy to do that lol... still prints fine

[dusky jacinth]

I'm sure it will. It just won't be the same as many know or heard of it being.

It's even a far cry from what it was when it started too.

[sage quiver]

Wait, they updated from 1.12?

Oh boy

[dusky jacinth]

Yep.

[lilac bear]

it was not a clean transition

[sage quiver]

I bet

Lmao

[harsh quartz]

Never understood 2b2t

[mortal kraken]

It was probably more dirty than me leaving the egg on for 15 minutes

[sage quiver]

It’s just chaos

Some people revel in chaos

[winged spire]

I prefer newer anarchy servers

people seem to think hacking means you dont need skill, but thats only true if nobody else is hacking

when EVERYONE is hacking, its definitely skill based still

[harsh quartz]

Anarchy servers are just kinda dumb IMO.

[lilac bear]

oh yeah the hacker vs hacker is crazy

[dusky jacinth]

And already we have:

• virtually no lag anymore.
• a reset item economy.
• way more hostile mob spawns.
• a faction already exploited ancient cities to spawn tons of wardens everywhere, making things impossible to survive even for heavily geared players.

[mortal kraken]

It has interesting history, or the ones that make documentary on it at least are. It's not the server for me to actually make or be active on. But I've tried other smaller anarchy servers.

Ngl, kinda sometimes miss some of em

[sage quiver]

Impressive

[harsh quartz]

The wardens was VERY funny

[winged spire]

isnt 2b2t's world map like ... multiple terabytes

[harsh quartz]

And then they patched the wardens and they figured out a different way to do it

[sage quiver]

Many terabytes

[dusky jacinth]

Yes, and gradually corrupting too.

[winged spire]

for context, the hermit craft downloads are only like... tens of gigabytes

[lilac bear]

a reset item economy? oh damn

[harsh quartz]

Hermits specifically try to stay together though (ironically)

[winged spire]

true but its still a bunch of VERY (sometimes) good players over like 6 months

lotta exploring for resources and such

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah. And with no feasible dupe available at this time, it means players will have to go out and collect materials the old fashioned way.

[winged spire]

or use baratone

[harsh quartz]

Realistically they don’t go that far from spawn, unless they do like the nether cannon or something

[winged spire]

baritone*

thats the bot huh? I havent messed around with it for a long time

you can tell it to say, mine X amount of obsidian and it will automatically find, and pathfind over avoiding anything that would kill it

and its built into a bunch of clients, just a simple command in chat

its how a lot of the CRAZY MASSIVE bases in 2b2t are built, armies of bots

[bleak crow]

https://x.com/XEng/status/1846605254864888180?s=19 can anyone enlighten me as to what caused Apple and Google to give in and allow this?

Soon we’ll be launching a change to how the block function works.

If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked will be able to view them, but they will not be able to engage (like, reply, repost, etc.).

Twitter · Oct 16, 2024, 5:32 PM

Because this previously wasn't allowed

[winged spire]

isnt that how most platforms work?

[bleak crow]

Now, I don't care because I don't block anybody, but it is interesting

[winged spire]

I mean thats how discord works for instance

[bleak crow]

No, if you are blocked by someone you can't see their profile

[winged spire]

If you blocked me right now id be able to see your profile

[fossil frost]

blocking on all other platforms mean if i block you, i dont see you, and you cant interact with me, but you can still see what i post...

for you to not see me, you have to block me

[lilac bear]

ngl it doesn't fix the whole enchanting process

just gathering coal, iron, diamond, etc

[bleak crow]

Yeah, I reread it, I misread it

[lilac bear]

which is arguably the easiest thing because of x-ray

[winged spire]

I’m still so shocked how fast Europa clipper is

It launched on the 14th

It reached the moon like 17 hours after launch

[fossil frost]

yeah, it was designed to have a planet throw it, planets are large, and can throw hard

[winged spire]

It hasn’t yet

[fossil frost]

gonna get faster then

[winged spire]

Yep

It’s doing it twice, mars then earth

It’s doing a nice little flyby of its home before being utterly cannoned to Europa

[lilac bear]

but what's the goal

[winged spire]

Finding life on Europa

Europa is the most Likely place for life in our solar system

[fossil frost]

thats the news paper headline version... what its actually doing is looking to see if europa does actually have a liquid sub surface ocean, and gathering samples for testing... one of the goals is to see if there is any possibility of life... there are many other goals

[winged spire]

Well yes

Finding life is more fun

[lilac bear]

spooky alien bugs

[winged spire]

Delay all the dates 4 days

It launched on oct 14

It’s funny, JUICE launched like 18 months ago

And Europa clipper will make it there 15 months before JUICE does

They really shoved every last ounce of deltaV out of falcon heavy

They didn’t even bother trying to recover the boosters

[fossil frost]

thats how i play kerbal space program

[lilac bear]

Starfield did something like this
older tech still travelling while new tech zooms past

[fossil frost]

main save is LITTERED with space debris

[winged spire]

I believe we lost the reuse leader off FH

[winged spire]

Real 😭

I have like 40 kerbals in orbit permanently

[fossil frost]

kerbals are expendable

[winged spire]

Just in kerbin orbit alone

[fossil frost]

i have several in kerbol orbit 😄

[winged spire]

Maybe one day I’ll get good enough at the game to recover them

😂

Fly up a recovery mission

[lilac bear]

Boeing right now:

[harsh quartz]

IIRC it’s gonna orbit Jupiter instead of Europa directly, due to the extreme radiation at lower levels of Jupiter’s atmosphere that killed the last one that orbited Europa

[fossil frost]

boeing doesnt bother to recover, they just leave people to die... or... actively kill them

[lilac bear]

I mean the people stuck up there have a lot of munitions

[fossil frost]

tbh, watching the latest LTT video now, the XP video... it doesnt show "young people using XP" it shows "technically compitent people using XP, vs people who can just about use a computer"

[lilac bear]

https://apnews.com/article/nasa-stuck-astronauts-boeing-starliner-92dca67a1fbecf05f5f0e6e2e79afc3b

[winged spire]

They aren’t actually stuck

[lilac bear]

oh of course it was Boeing's first mission

[winged spire]

That’s just news media sensationalism

If they actually NEEDED to come down, they would

[fossil frost]

China offered to bring them back when they were supposed to come back... USA said no

[winged spire]

We send crews up regularly with dragon anyhow

Starliner 2025 comeback though 😂

[fossil frost]

that wasnt the point, USA said no because they want "USA GREAT! CHINA SUCKS!" rather than "CHINA BAILS OUT USA"

[winged spire]

Correct

[lilac bear]

yeah but saying Boeing got them stranded is the funny

cause yeah reading the article does say it just means they make another attempt later on and it's all fine

[slender marsh]

in my school they teach HTML, now I think that tiktok girls don't mix well with that

[fading belfry]

Hi, any recommendation for an LGA1200 motherboard, hoping my 10700F isn't dead

thanks

[fair sage]

"stranded in a space equal to a six bedroom size house" 😄

[winged spire]

with food water and people deliveries monthly

Fuck, I would KILL to be in their position lmao

[lilac bear]

the big question is if they have internet or not

I would get so bored

[winged spire]

not very good

[fair sage]

"Oh no, i have to stay few months instead of few days in the place i dreamed going to since i was a kid"

[winged spire]

the ISS' bandwith is pretty limited and most goes to scientific data .. for obvious reasons

I would just be looking out the copula for like 15 hours a day

[lilac bear]

well tbf I haven't been to space so I have no idea of how long the novelty of being in space would last

[lilac bear]

exactly lmao

[winged spire]

floating around

I would do basciallyh anything on this earth to go to space lol

boeing if you need to disapear another witness... ill take my payment in a starliner ride

[fair sage]

also they still do maintenance and help others with their experiments

so it's not like they are there doing nothing and being bored

[summer folio]

Musks Mars Mission, any day now

[vapid smelt]

what if you die and we send your dead body to space?

[winged spire]

im down

its like 300k to launch a 50kg payload to space

[fossil frost]

i would be significantly more expensive than that

[winged spire]

youd have to like blend me up and evaporate the waterr out to fit though

[vapid smelt]

take your ashes then

[winged spire]

yeah thats doable

[full fossil]

why does jake own the server

[vapid smelt]

becuse boomer linus didnt know how

[full fossil]

oof

[dusky widget]

guys

I made the next version of Linus Sex Tips

Actually nah im not gonna say that ima savour it for myself

[lilac bear]

what

[dusky widget]

too funny for more people to know

[lilac bear]

isn't this cremation 😭

[fossil frost]

no, you can desicate something without burning it

[lilac bear]

dehydrated human

[fossil frost]

effectively pork jerky

[lilac bear]

boneless or with bones

[fossil frost]

humans have a similar diet to pigs, and are reported to taste just like pork

[vital oak]

Wow!

[waxen chasm]

hey guys, built a new pc testing it rn, my ryzen 5 5600 idles at around 53 celsius is that bad?

[tired glade]

Outside temperature important too

[waxen chasm]

its 25 celsius in the house

[wary dock]

that's a lot of watts at idle.

[tired glade]

Try full core load first

[waxen chasm]

utilization is at around 25%

[tired glade]

That's not idling

[waxen chasm]

im downloading on epic games

could be that?

[tired glade]

Wait after that complete temperature

[waxen chasm]

ill pause it and check

[vital oak]

give him a second to cool down

[waxen chasm]

ok so it fell down to around 44

[waxen chasm]

i have a big thermalright on it dw

[vital oak]

yeah that’s normal

[tired glade]

44 is fine

[waxen chasm]

around 10% utilization

gpu (rx 6700xt xix swift 309) is at 38 idle 7% utilization

[wary dock]

for reference. my 14900k idles at 27c with a ton of chrome tabs running.

though it is a bit of a hot-rod build.

[waxen chasm]

water cooled or huge cooler

[wary dock]

yes

[waxen chasm]

i have a thermalright assassin king 120 se

[wary dock]

i put a Arctic LF2 420mm aio in this sff build. only because the LF3 couldn't be mounted on the mini ITX mb.

[waxen chasm]

damn

i put a samsung 990 1tb ssd in its fast aff

[tired glade]

Oh,420mm

[wary dock]

The two 250mm case fans probably help too.

[waxen chasm]

god damn

boost

[vapid smelt]

250?

[wary dock]

I'm joking. I keep the case 'operating roomed' over a Coway Airmega 400 to feed HEPA filtered air. I mean, if I'm going to be running a purifier anyways...

[waxen chasm]

is it normal for these gpus to have coil whines

this one has a very mild one

[fossil frost]

my 6600xt was REALLY bad with coil whine, sent it back and bought a new one... zero coil whine

seems to be hit and miss depending on who makes it, and which factory it comes from

[waxen chasm]

this one was whining while being tested in Heaven benchmark at max settings

mine is an rx 6700xt xix swift 309

[fossil frost]

though, i say REALLY bad... it was the higher the FPS, the higher the whine... even with low utilisation, high fps gave high whine

[waxen chasm]

card is too strong lol

[fossil frost]

my 6750xt i bought myself when i gave my son my 6600xt, has zero coil whine at all

in other news, just walked into my living room to see what my dogs are doing, because they are suspiciously quiet... they are both sleeping on the sofa, upside down

[vapid smelt]

6600xt for roblox?

[harsh quartz]

6600xt for Roblox?

[fossil frost]

roblox, minecraft, EAFC, fortnite, hello neighbour.. and others

[harsh quartz]

Eafc?

[fossil frost]

EA Sports FC 2024 (and soon to switch to 2025 when EA drop the launch price)

[harsh quartz]

None of this means anything at all :p

[fossil frost]

its a football game

real football, not the american junk that is effectively rugby for people who dont understand rugby

[harsh quartz]

Idk man, this is the first thing that comes up when you search football

And imma get rid of it cause nashty

[vapid smelt]

wouldnt 2025 be teh same game but with diffrent player names

[fossil frost]

same game, with minor updates... but apparently (according to my son) "the career mode is completely different"

[civic crypt]

does anyone else here us opera gx?
and if so how do i clear all of these "tabs" i see in task manager???
theres like 27 of them but i only have 4 tabs at the most?

[glass mural]

Is a 7800X3D 32GB of DRR5 6000MHz CL30 RAM and a 7800XT overkill for Roblox?

[full fossil]

yea it is

[winged spire]

4090 overkill for roblox?

club penguin?

[full fossil]

nah, 4090 isn't even enough for minecraft

[glass mural]

With shaders yeah it’s not enough

[full fossil]

if u turn on shaders in minecraft that 4090 gonna explode

[glass mural]

Old joke was can it run crysis new joke is can it run Minecraft with shaders

[vapid smelt]

hope the career mode is worth 60 pounds or whatever the price for soccer games are

[fossil frost]

£59 right now, but ive told him no, not yet 😄

once it drops under 40, which is what it will be by xmas, then i dont mind that

[full fossil]

i hate how when EA bought codemasters F1 games went the FIFA/FC path

[fossil frost]

F1 games were like that anyway from the first new codemasters one

[full fossil]

probably

[fossil frost]

it had nothing to do with EA, it was already like that

[full fossil]

now that i think about it

it's true, i didn't notice much of a difference between F1 2019 and 2021 apart from new tracks and engine sounds

[vapid smelt]

dont those football/soccer games also have gambling i mean loot crates

[fossil frost]

sort of, sort of not.. law in the uk means that you still have to be able to win by playing, so. all the special things they release, you can earn points within the game, or do special tasks within the game, and earn them that way... £££ are supposed to be a shortcut, not a requirement

[wary dock]

some people can't put a price on love.

[winged spire]

Roblox E dating on a 4090?

Or dating the 4090

[jaunty compass]

roblox raytracing

[pallid falcon]

Propose to a SO with a 4090 instead of a ring

[winged spire]

A 4090 on a ring

[vital oak]

roblox can run on much weaker hardware now

[winged spire]

Look at that rock! (Silicon)

[vital oak]

thanks to sober

[winged spire]

What, 4080 now?

[vital oak]

not even kidding my 7500f build can hit ~1500 fps in a real game

it peaked at 5042 frames in a baseplate

[winged spire]

Yeah with dual 4070s right?

[vital oak]

no a 6750xt

[winged spire]

🌚

[vital oak]

roblox barely uses the gpu

[vital oak]

very impressive by the way

windowsplayer would struggle with 400 with my specs

[winged spire]

Yeah 6090s crank frames on Roblox

[warped zephyr]

very

I would recommend a thread ripper though

and minimum of 64 GB of ram 👍

[vital oak]

not sure why u said dat

roblox doesn’t really pull ram much

~1gb depending on the game

[warped zephyr]

/j

roblox can vary but most games don't require more than like Intel uhd graphics and a few gigabytes of ram

[winged spire]

Yeah I got 64gb of 5600mhz ddr5 for roblox

[warped zephyr]

not that that would be fun

[winged spire]

32 wasn’t enough

[warped zephyr]

do you think I should get 128 gigs to play at medium graphics 🥺

[winged spire]

Uh

Maybe some at medium

[warped zephyr]

I saw an old server rack someone was selling for like 200 dollars and it had one of those Intel SSD / ram sticks

[vital oak]

intel uhd is overkill nowadays

also, gpu doesn’t really matter

[glass mural]

Maybe with some funny bloxstrap settings you might need the extra power

[vital oak]

bloxstrap is not on linux

i’m sure it’s possible to be fair

[warped zephyr]

which granted are terrible but it's really funny to say you have 1 tb of ram

[lilac bear]

the CPU can do all the work

[glass mural]

Who said I’m using Linux?

I’m too stupid for that

[vital oak]

i did not

i do though

also i’m pretty sure sober does not run on windows

[harsh quartz]

Your using Linux

[glass mural]

I’m not using Linux

Linux doesn’t like me

[winged spire]

Both my AirPod mics are cooked

Got apple care though

God willing they let me just mail them in

[sonic comet]

My isps haven't had any tech upgrades since ww2

Same with their ToS, spying is cool

[glass mural]

Oh come on if you have nothing to hide it’s perfectly fine

Don’t you want them to know what you do?

[pallid falcon]

What if you have plenty to hide

Not saying VPN is private,
Even tho it says private in its name...

We wouldnt share documentaries irl

Love a bit of right to repair 💯

[pale fable]

Man not gonna lie. I hope this isn’t a scratch on the inside of my new PC case. I had Micro Center build my PC (I don’t know how to do it myself). And it looks like there’s a scratch on the inside glass panel. I touched it from the front but it’s not an outer scratch/mark.

[full fossil]

Take the panel off and check and complain to microcenter if so

[heady flicker]

could be a protective film, run your nails over it

[full fossil]

Looks like either a scratch on the inside or a film

[pale fable]

Yeah I am gonna take it off tomorrow and check. I did peel the protective film off the side panel. Didn’t check the front but I’ll have a closer look.

I just don’t wanna believe home boy that built my pc was like. ‘Yeah bro he ain’t finna notice this scratch, I ain’t gotta grab a new case from the back.’

[full fossil]

Wouldn't even need a new case

Just a new panel

[pale fable]

Actually I think it’s just a film thankfully. I see a square line near the very top.

[prime solstice]

My pc doesn’t have glass on it but it is a metal case and it has a big scratch on it from my screwdriver slipping

same but the scratch is on my cpu heatsink

Cheers, I'd rather spend $40 to fix them than $500+ on a new pair

[quasi belfry]

Wait so why DON’T we build up more nuclear reactors?

[vapid smelt]

cost and fear

[heady flicker]

in japan, there's too much retaliation after the fukushima incident

[quasi belfry]

Don’t say fusion, that shits kinda far out

[pallid falcon]

they make me warm..

[quasi belfry]

Well yeah, pushing something beyond what it’s built for isn’t good, tho their response and stuff could be WORSE than the incident

[heady flicker]

nuclear power used to make up 30%+, now it's 5% of total eletrical power generation

[quasi belfry]

Genuinely putting people into harm by putting them into highly radioactive zones KNOWINGLY and not making it a short duration or stay high armored car/bus

[quasi belfry]

Yeah cost isn’t great but considering the alternatives, coal, oil, gas, etc has killed quite a few people and people cost a lot, and iirc if we added that together, we’d have enough for nuclear

[heady flicker]

also, maintenance engineer not too popular as a career

let alone for a nuclear plant

[vapid smelt]

yummy

[quasi belfry]

Almost like being told nuclear is bad all your life is harming the world more than helping, weird how that works ya?

[warped zephyr]

safety fears, upfront cost, etc

[warped zephyr]

❤️

imagine how much money it makes shareholders tho 🤤

[quasi belfry]

And compare that to nuclear related deaths

[vapid smelt]

in 2018 like 0

[quasi belfry]

EXACTLY

You can say that about anything

No shit there will be edge cases no one thought about

[grim belfry]

You shouldn't say anything is "x-proof"

[warped zephyr]

imo we should tear down all nuclear power plants and build more brown coal

[quasi belfry]

Because the low chances

[warped zephyr]

why brown coal? its the most polluting!

[vapid smelt]

very scary

[quasi belfry]

Also little fun fact I saw somewhere a bit ago: coal releases more radiation (via carbon-14) than nuclear power plants

[warped zephyr]

the european green party is very um

they have a firm anti nuclear stance and theyre very biased

[quasi belfry]

Even that high end number is small compared to coal

[vapid smelt]

more people die from water

[quasi belfry]

How tf do you die from water

[vapid smelt]

drown

[quasi belfry]

So if we take nuclear logic, we should ban dihydrogen-monoxide

[warped zephyr]

we should ban air

everyone who has ever breathed in air has died or will die

[quasi belfry]

True

Air has taken billion of lives

Even worse than coal, hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, AND hydro thermal combined

[glass mural]

[quasi belfry]

Know I think, why didn’t data centers previously look into switching to nuclear? Price?

[vapid smelt]

yeah its a few billion

[smoky badge]

Nuh uhh

[quasi belfry]

So why couldn’t they just instead, ask an existing power plant “heyyyy can I have some of your output power?” to get the ups of nuclear without (most) the cost

[quasi belfry]

Nahhhh

[mortal kraken]

the solutions for it existed for a while, I remember seeing it even in 2021, few nuclear companies offered solutions like that. took a while for anyone to actually make the first move ig, nice for google

[alpine gale]

The only way this would work is if someone built a data center near a nuclear plant, or vice versa. Otherwise, delivering power between the 2 still has ties to the power grid, thus is susceptible to grid faults.

[glass mural]

Plug In Hybrids my beloved

Wanna blow fumes in someone’s face? Use gas
Wanna be sneaky? Use electricity

[polar fern]

Hah

[glass mural]

But fr hybrids are cool

[polar fern]

I’ve been following the development of all of the EV and hybrid stuff for many years now… the only thing that this one can’t do that most of the other full EV’s can is power something from the traction battery. Probably related to the fact that it can’t do DC fast charging only level 1 and 2

It can fully charge in two hours on level 2 so DC fast charging would probably be a bit too much for the thermal management system

The next generation plug-in of this particular vehicle will have a better battery pack that is integrated into the vehicle vs adapted

[glass mural]

So no powering the doctor’s equipment

Unfortunate

[polar fern]

Most likely fast charging will be added, and the capacity will probably increase by about 20% I would say

Current range is rated at 17 miles but we’ve gotten more than that so I would estimate that would be a rounded 20 miles

However, if they do what I think they might do, they could end up getting 30 miles out of it

The exact car that my girlfriend has is actually pretty rare. It’s custom ordered from The factory through the dealer, and they only sold it in a few states

In any case I’m going to finish watching this while there is your problem podcast

My mother (63F) runs a medical clinic at her home whilst my father (74M) used to be the CEO of an ASEAN hospital before retiring 3 years ago. My father is part of the board of directors of a SE Asian biotech company.

My sister (23F) has been introduced to the medical field due to my parents and every summer, she would return from Russia to SE Asia, and ever since she was 10, she started working at my mother's clinic as an assistant.

During summer (from age 10-18), she assisted her mother in the patient intake process, measuring patients height and weight, and checking them in. She is even involved in direct patient care and knew about ultrasound and stuff.

What are your thoughts? Is this legal in western countries?

[vapid smelt]

child labour is not legal

it's not?

Every winter I hire children to clear my drive way

BOSE used to have the best warranty around, I have had like, 4 pairs of those really expensive quiet comfort headphone totally replaced by them no questions asked, over the span of ~10-12 years, they used to have a lifetime warranty afaik, more or less.

[bold brook]

definitely not, they would never let this kind of shit happen just for insurance reasons alone especially in a lawsuit crazy country like the us

[bold brook]

best way to do it, couple little kids will clear it out and shovel your sidewalk for like 20 bucks, i used to do it when i was younger for my neighbors and make good money

[full fossil]

Oh I just love child labour

lawn and driveway and walk way etc

watering my lawn and landscaping

Child labor

[vapid smelt]

the best kind of labour

children are allowed to work jobs in most countries, but some jobs are heavily regulated outside of whether or not its a child doing it, and because of those regulations, there would be zero chance children would be doing certain jobs

is it just me or did iOS 18 add swiping from the left edge as a universal back gesture? i know it was common before, but i've never seen it be this consistent across so many apps

[fossil frost]

yep, another feature they "invented" despite android having it for quite some time 😄

[grim belfry]

Honestly even though we don’t use it anymore, I still love BMS compared to the alternatives

[granite tinsel]

tbh remembering how it was on android, i think iOS is doing it better

[grim belfry]

Apple just puts a knife to the developers’ throat and shit like this gets fixed

[fossil frost]

might be that was an older version of android, because on 13/14/15 (i switched to gesture nav and away from the 3 button nav, at android 13), its flawless

[granite tinsel]

i used gesture nav up to android 12

[grim belfry]

I think for the API it was limited to like 500 requests per hour or something - You must’ve had fun lol

@ Linus media group 🤣. I has question, can you make video about delidding, upsides, downsides, different ways you can go about doing it, positives and negatives of different types of thermal paste solutions and the best way of going about doing it. Cause I've been watching some derbauer videos about the topic and I'm confused about some things 😄 (hope and pray someone sees this) I'm more curious about the risks of using liquid metal Vs other solutions and if it's even worth it in the first place.

They won't see this

On the forum is a thread for LTT Video Suggestions, post it there

but honestly, there's a lot of info on delidding on youtube already, I'm not sure a LTT Video about it would be that big of a deal

[hearty spear]

What about delidding is still confusing to you

or just post one random nonsense thing, and then ghost the discord. cool

[full fossil]

Oh basically you see I've seen how liquid metal apparently can like fuse your CPU to the cooler or something so I was worried about that if I try it myself and also I'm just scared to use liquid metal in general cause if I have my pc vertical I'm worried about gravity I guess

[hearty spear]

it can't fuse anything, but it will destroy anything aluminum, and if you apply it poorly, it can destroy your system entirely

[full fossil]

So I was wondering about the performance difference between delided with liquid metal, delided with regular thermal paste and a regular CPU with regular thermal paste

[full fossil]

Yeah that was my concern, cause I heard it doesn't play well with aluminium and copper cause the gallium in it will just eat it up

[hearty spear]

no, it works on copper

[full fossil]

Huh ok. And then what about the gravity concerns with a vertical system

[hearty spear]

you should never use enough that dripping is a concern

[full fossil]

Ok valid

[hearty spear]

Are you doing a custom loop or something?

or direct die?

[full fossil]

Not even, I was just gonna use an aio and direct die it, maybe wayy later down the line

[hearty spear]

direct die aio? 0.o

you can't direct die cool unless you specifically buy a direct die cooler, and those are for custom loops, not AIOs

[full fossil]

I'm thinking of trying it just before I upgrade my CPU so if it does die it doesn't really matter but it would be a bummer if it did die

[full fossil]

Oh I think thermal grizzly make a mount or something for it no??

[full fossil]

I'll show you what I mean

[hearty spear]

I know TG makes a direct die waterblock

[full fossil]

They have a newer version of this aswell

[hearty spear]

that's a contact frame, that has nothing to do with mounting a cooler (basically)

[full fossil]

Ah okayy, I see so I'm assuming I can't just plonk an aio on it cause there would be gap??

[hearty spear]

yup

any AIO would expect the height of the IHS to be there

you'd have to buy one of these:
https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/am5-mycro-direct-die/s-tg-my-dd-am5

[full fossil]

Okayy

[full fossil]

Warabout...the high performance heat spreader?? Would that net better thermals??

I'm assuming this I can use with aio??

But what kind of performance difference would I see if any?

[hearty spear]

Do you have an actual goal here, or are you looking to just burn money on fun tech for giggles?

this is what a contact frame does, it does nothing for cooler mounting:

[full fossil]

Burn money ill be real, I like trying things but I don't like killing things 🤣🤣

[hearty spear]

because delidding, liquid metal, and all this other nonsense with a 360 AIO?
Will get you a grand total of 2-3c over a stock chip setup with a 360 AIO.

And you'd see 0 performance change.

[full fossil]

Seems like a fun experiment

[full fossil]

Oh, well in that case I probably just won't risk it🤣🤣 maybe when my CPU is superrrr old it'll be fun tho 😄

[hearty spear]

fun to do, sure, but unless you're doing something extra special to it, you won't notice any difference

I'm so confused what the point of this is

[graceful burrow]

It replaces the socket mechanism

is ublock going to stop working on all chromium based browsers or just google chrome specifically?

[graceful burrow]

That's a more nuanced question than you realize, enjoy the research

[fossil frost]

Ublock lite is a thing from the same devs too. Which has a basic no permission mode, and a complete mode which is almost all of the functionality that ublock has

right click on the pinned task bar icon, then right click on the "blender" entry in the menu, then click "properties", that should bring up the properties dialog for what is effectively a shortcut on your taskbar... on the shortcut page, you should see "advanced", click that, and then tick "run as administrator"... then "ok" your way out of the dialogs. then whenever you run it, it should automatically run as if you right clicked and run-as-admin'ed it

They changed it to where about 10 seconds into a new pc setup, Cortana would start talking and asking if you needed help with setup, for accessibility reasons, but holy FUCK was it loud, cause every computer was defaulted to 100% volume, and it gave you no warning

[summer folio]

Have EU gotten "Apple Intelligence" yet, or does the Iphone 16 series still have 0 difference from iphone 15 in EUrope?

[pure knoll]

The extra button ig

[lilac bear]

AI hasn't released yet at all unless you meant the beta

[pure knoll]

It's ridiculous they ship a phone advertised for its apple intelligence and it doesn't even come with it

[summer folio]

"For EU residents: Apple Intelligence currently does not work if you are located in the EU and if the country/region of your Apple account is an EU country/region." - Support . äpple . com

Guess the button do nothing then

[lilac bear]

it's coming to that phone, but later

[summer folio]

Cosmetic button

[harsh quartz]

Apple intelligence is banned? Are other LLMs or AI based assistants?

[pure knoll]

My point.. I'd rather they launch with the already leaked M4 macbooks and have working ai on launch

[pure knoll]

racism

[lilac bear]

idk, the EU loves to focus on Apple

[lilac bear]

not wrong, it does suck to met with this "it'll improve later on" but I guess from the gaming market we basically accepted that already

[pure knoll]

Cyberpunk 2077 😭😭

[pure knoll]

I understand there are implications to releasing later too, like unhappy fans and less income

[harsh quartz]

Yeah I don’t fully understand it. Apple got problems but they’re handling the whole AI situation better than most others IMO

[lilac bear]

does the EU care about MicroB or proprietary ports being used
but I guess it was super easy to single out the lightning port

[lilac bear]

Ubisoft moment

[harsh quartz]

The lightning port was ridiculous because it’s such a large market share of devices and there was 0 reason to continue it.

Especially when they already had USBc on MacBooks and iPads

[winged spire]

the capture button?

There is no "AI button"

[lilac bear]

also how they made Lightning support USB 3.0 only to quickly abandon it for C and never implemented it to iPhone

[winged spire]

it is kinda weird how lon g it took them

[harsh quartz]

Lightning had its time and needed to go

[winged spire]

especially because apple was the fastest implementor of USB C/thunderbolt in basically all their other productgs

[pure knoll]

Siri button technically

[pure knoll]

Ecosystem

[winged spire]

what

[lilac bear]

I wouldn't say that

[winged spire]

the only 2 buttons theyve added in the past like.... 10 years has been the capture button and the action button

the action button is on the 15

[lilac bear]

why would the iPad and MacBook be USB-C and then the iPhone is Lightning
that's a shitty "ecosystem"

[lilac bear]

Android did the shutter button first (no one buys Xperia phones)

[summer folio]

Radical!

Like all Sony Xperia have had a capture picture button kek

Remember when Sony teamed up with Swedish Ericsson for the epicc Sony Ericsson phones?

So cool(never actually bought one, but got my friends old ones when he upgraded)

Riley should expand with more Linked channels

MovieLinked, SeriesLinked

AnimeLinked

LinkedLinked

[lilac bear]

Xperia such a struggle bus today

[winged spire]

Xperia would be good if it wasnt 1600$ for 2 years of software support

[lilac bear]

it's 3 now but yeah pales in comparison

still runs better than Pixel

take that Tensor

[winged spire]

mechanical shutters on a phone are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[winged spire]

lol

most things do

[harsh quartz]

And neither are needed.

[lilac bear]

I cannot imagine the Tensor G2 running okay in 2030

[winged spire]

the action button is a FANTASTIC addition

[lilac bear]

7 years support for such a mid chip

[winged spire]

the camera button.. havent used it dunno

[harsh quartz]

For what purpose

[gilded quest]

I can't imagine any phone from 2022 running well in 2030

[summer folio]

Soon they will add a Home screen button, & the year after that a back button

[winged spire]

anything, you can do shortcuts based on say, phone orientation

[harsh quartz]

No I mean what do you specifically use it for that makes it a great addition

[summer folio]

2030 the revolutionary return of the 3,5mm jack, anyone? 🎰

[gilded quest]

Rip mute switch
Best fidget button

[lilac bear]

bring back 3D touch

[gilded quest]

3D touch was such an L

Apple did nothing with it

[harsh quartz]

I still have it, and it’s all I need that spot on the phone to do. I do miss my home button tho

Especially for these new MASSIVE phones, a home button would be nice

[summer folio]

"Siri, press home button"

or whatever apple Ai girl assistant is called nowadays

[gilded quest]

I've been using all touch interface since 2017

[lilac bear]

it's still Siri

unlike every other company that has to rebrand the assistant for whatever the fuck reason

[gilded quest]

Physical vs on screen home button...I'll take the extra screen real estate

[harsh quartz]

I can use it, I just prefer tactile thingies, and knowing, for a fact, when I hit a button, it will do a specific thing, instead of gestures that might do what you want if you do it exactly how it wants

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but Apple has neither

[winged spire]

I have it open my camera up when my phone is lamdscape and turn the flash on in portrait

[summer folio]

Will we ever get iBrick?
Just a Brick with gps, microphones & cameras.
Use IGlasses for screen?

[lilac bear]

you exposed yourself as an Android user

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-smg4skill-issue-skill-issue-smg4mario-smg4skill-gif-26104493

[harsh quartz]

1. there’s a camera button now 2) how long does it realistically take to open the camera any other way?

[summer folio]

nvm, they of course will build it in

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/rogerroger-star-wars-gif-24538011

[winged spire]

I don’t have a phone with a camera button so: who cares

[summer folio]

Can the Apple Smart Glasses replace a phone btw? can you make phone calls?

[lilac bear]

cause you use a shitty Galaxy A series phone

[harsh quartz]

It can just be put here tho

[winged spire]

And if more convenience for spesific settings that you use often is a bad thing then I dunno what to tell you

[lilac bear]

but yeah what's wrong with double tap the power button

[summer folio]

When Facebook Rayban glasses 3:rd party app with irl live doxxing gets public, that sounds interesting

[harsh quartz]

Hey quick question, why the FUCK is the power on button not the power off button on any phones now?

[heady flicker]

it is?

[winged spire]

The turn on button is the same as the turn off button

If you want to SHUT the phone down you use volume generally too

[harsh quartz]

Nope. Always gotta hold like a combo of phones or some shit

[harsh quartz]

WHY. WHAT DOES THIS SERVE

[lilac bear]

I have no idea

I just hold down the power button until it asks me on the screen what to do

[summer folio]

I want peoples social security numbers visible on screen when I look at them.
It is public information in Sweden. Facial recognition do your thingy.

[harsh quartz]

It’s the POWER button, why does it not give me the fuckin power options

[harsh quartz]

Does it do that on yours? Cause my Samsung and my Apple don’t do that

You have to hold volume+power for it to then give you the options, where you have to then pick one and then put in your passcode. To turn the fucking phone off.

[winged spire]

The passcode is stupid and a cringe android thing

What world would I need to verify it’s me to turn a phone off

[harsh quartz]

Maybe iPhone doesn’t do that then. But the first time I wanted to turn off my iPhone, I had to google how to do it.

[summer folio]

if I press the power* button once, so the screen is not black anylonger, then when I hold press power button it shows the menu

I cant get the menu to show up if I just hold press when screen off

Xperia 1 III

[harsh quartz]

Holding the power button does nothing on iPhone. You have to hold power and volume.

[winged spire]

The only xperia user on the internet

[summer folio]

I had the Xperia II before, it was even better hehe

III Soc too inefficient, consumes more power than needed

[lilac bear]

that was my A50 probably

[winged spire]

I want the wacky Chinese phone features but I live in America

[lilac bear]

my not Pixel 7, which just brings up the Google Assistant

[winged spire]

Oppo always has cool features I’d definitely want

They’re all gimmicks but cool 😎

[harsh quartz]

I just want normal phone features. Like, stop taking things away :p

[winged spire]

Chat how manny

[lilac bear]

I mean Xperia is generally good-ish at that

[harsh quartz]

7<

[lilac bear]

still got the MicroSD and 3.5mm on a flagship Snapdragon 8gen device

[harsh quartz]

Do you win what’s in the jar?

[lilac bear]

what if they took the candy out and gave you the jar

[winged spire]

Dunno, I hope so candy corn is delicious

[summer folio]

I like the charging speeds on the chinese Xiaomi 14 Ultra: 0->100% in 34 minutes
or Swedish One Plus 12: 0->100% in 30 minutes

[winged spire]

I’m apparently the only person in the word that likes candy corn

[rotund umbra]

100 for sure

[harsh quartz]

From this point forward 100% of what you say is just wrong

[lilac bear]

candy corn is good

[heady flicker]

candy corn is good, but the ones from the grocery store aren't.

especially if it's all high fructose corn syrup

[harsh quartz]

Okay but we’re clearly talking about the ones in the jar

[winged spire]

I made candy corn once

It didn’t work

Candy is hard 😐

[harsh quartz]

I like watching sticky

Cause candys weird

[winged spire]

I spent like 4 months last year Autism-maxing the different types of caramel

[harsh quartz]

Isn’t it just boiled sugar + heavy cream?

[winged spire]

Temperature matters a ton

Literally being 2 degrees off makes it entirely different

That’s how you get like candy apple caramel vs like crunchy caramel

I mastered making that caramel that scoops like ice cream

It SLAPS in like brownies

[calm swan]

measure jar find volume
look up volume of candy corn

jar volume divided by candy corn volume

[harsh quartz]

Counterpoint:

[winged spire]

🫥

[harsh quartz]

This shit is actually so good compared to the effort that goes into it

It might be worth making brownies from scratch but I probably wouldn’t fuck with the caramel

[winged spire]

It’s probably the opposite tbh

[harsh quartz]

Especially when these are like, 80% as good as scratch brownies

[winged spire]

I mean there’s only so many ways to mix the dry ingredients lol

Just down to your preferred recipe but caramel is so variable

[harsh quartz]

Yes but the dry ingredients can change a lot, and can change the cooking times and whatnot

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and this has like the perfect caramel for brownies

[silver sun]

[glass mural]

When I tried candy corn my body physically rejected it

[vital oak]

Ooohhh my godddddd

[harsh quartz]

Cause it thought it was a vegetable

[glass mural]

I cast boot looping

[fossil frost]

My kids and I discovered pixel studio on my phone today. And my kids wanted to know what our dogs would look like as batman and robin... 😁

[glass mural]

Some time in the future your PC will start boot looping and I will have caused it

[glass mural]

Giving homeless people TBIs 😍

Batman doesn’t kill he just makes them wish they were dead

[slender marsh]

Some girl in my classroom was watching a video of pregnant Elsa Sims 4 mod video 😭😭

In the computer class

[heady flicker]

should've said you also like that video

[slender marsh]

no

[heady flicker]

soon enough

it'd be useful for simulating randomness

[lilac dove]

🤨

[winged spire]

Define soon

Historically predicting tech has been an asinine idea but

I dunno.. maybe in 50? Years

No

Definitely not

They exist, even in desktop form, they won’t becoming mainstream any time that soon

They kinda have a chatGPT model right now.. MIT I think has a publically available quantum computer

In exchange for your data / more edge cases to test

Not MIT I’m dumb, you can use IBM’s quantum computer

You can upload a test and it will automatically run it after a queue and email you the results… pretty insane resource for free

[fossil frost]

quantum computing has been "20 years away" for about 30 years now, at least

[harsh quartz]

I want cosmo

[winged spire]

Something something fusion something something

[fossil frost]

also 20 years away, but for about 60 years

[harsh quartz]

Quantum computing is already a thing though isn’t it?

[winged spire]

Yes

[fossil frost]

it exists, but, as an experiment, that doesnt really do anything other than prove a point

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but fusion has been 7 years away for about 80 years

[winged spire]

They even have off the shelf desktop quantum computers now

[fossil frost]

fusion exists too... but as an experiment to prove a point

[harsh quartz]

No

[fossil frost]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak

[winged spire]

We have many fusion reactors

[harsh quartz]

Fusion exists as an experiment, working towards an end goal. Achieving repeated ignitions this year is evidence that they have made progress

[fossil frost]

does it provide a viable power source yet? no? then its an experiment, proving a point... which is what i said initially...

i never said it wasnt making progress, i said it was currently an experiment...

[winged spire]

We’ve MADE energy like 3 times in the past year

Pretty cool

[harsh quartz]

It doesn’t just exist to prove a point though.

[tired glade]

Also, that's not only design

[winged spire]

Plasma doughnuts sound delicious

[fossil frost]

no, there are several designs, tokamak is the one i could remember the name of at the time

[harsh quartz]

Ikr, its actual fuckin progress for the first time in like 70 years, and there’s more designs becoming potentially viable alternatives every year

[tired glade]

Tokamak design exist for about 70-80 years at this point,that why it is default

[fossil frost]

the real thing that has held us back, and is still holding us back, is material science... theoretically, we know how to do it... we just dont have the materials to do it quickly and repeatedly, enough to provide actual consistant power

[tired glade]

Wiki has this

[glass mural]

So when is something gonna go wrong and we need a guy with a crowbar to save us?

[tired glade]

Enjoy way how you can get working fusion reactor

[harsh quartz]

Theres more being added to this every year cause they keep making new possible fusion designs :p

[tired glade]

A lot of them failures

[harsh quartz]

Absolutely, but for a field of study so important, we need as many avenues as possible

Also have yall seen the new Bobby broccoli video?

[tired glade]

Dark yellow branch is most popular

[tired glade]

China dropping a lot of dot papers in fusion field, mainly that

[fossil frost]

fusion is 100% something where it is, and needs to be "if you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick"... if its even possible that something could work, its worth trying

[harsh quartz]

I’m sorry. What the FUCK does that first part mean?
