[vital oak]

do you think i’m braindead

[shut lichen]

Imagine buying a laptop with 6th gen Intel in 2024

[vital oak]

literally every piece of tech is ewaste in the future

[long briar]

at this point a bit yea

[vital oak]

i’ll buy a t430 then

[long briar]

the laptop you want to buy is DOA

it's not even in the future

[fossil frost]

yeah, but the point is, some of it is ewaste sooner than other stuff

[frail cipher]

my bad guys, forgot about fsr and amd frame gen

[vital oak]

no, it isn’t

[long briar]

some of it is already ewaste.

[long briar]

you know nothing about it

[vital oak]

i know a lot about it

[fossil frost]

6th/7th gen intel is fine, the lack of ram on that laptop is what is the issue with it

[shut lichen]

[long briar]

well, you know the battery is broken

[shut lichen]

No it really isn't

8th gen minimum

[long briar]

2.5ghz all core boost on skylake ipc is crazy

[vital oak]

if i need more ram on it ill upgrade it

[fossil frost]

yes, it is, my son uses a 7700k to play almost any modern game (paired with a 6650xt).. i use a 7700k as a game server cpu... they are fine

[vital oak]

also the one i am considering has more than 4gb

[fossil frost]

they are not the best thing you can get, but if you dont need that, 7th gen at least.. is fine

[shut lichen]

We're talking about laptops, shut.

[vital oak]

i don’t know why you’re dwelling so much on ram capacity when i don’t even have that little

[vital oak]

you, again, don’t know my use case clearly

[long briar]

7700k is fine, I still have one in a pc at 5ghz. We're talking about 2c4t mobile here, though.

[vital oak]

my friend’s server is a 22 year old intel atom or something

even if it becomes obsolete for coding in 5 years (which it won’t) i can use it as a server for plenty of time

[fossil frost]

in this specific case yes, but the generalisation was made that "all 6th gen bad"... which is completely untrue... which is exactly what i said

[long briar]

The generalization for me was all configs of the T470 are bad, which is true.

[vital oak]

bad for whatever the fuck you want to sue it for

[shut lichen]

Serving what, a basic website to two people?

[long briar]

these are the possible configs

[vital oak]

yes, exactly that

i am not a big shot

[vital oak]

again, so what

i’m not gaming, video editing, doing anything intensive

[fossil frost]

ive served very heavily used websites, database, code and all... on a raspi zero w... you will be surprised what you can run something on

[shut lichen]

No one said that at all, read the damn room. We're talking about laptops.

[vital oak]

you read the damn room

[long briar]

ffa

[fossil frost]

yes, that was said...

[vital oak]

my use case is perfectly fine with a 3rd gen intel i3

[long briar]

go for it then

[shut lichen]

No it wasn't, context is important, as I said, read the room

[dense quail]

Thursday October 31st, the streets are crowded for the holidays, even with the rain. Hidden in the chaos is the element, waiting to strike like snakes.

[long briar]

dude ethan and bezze, the issue for me here is that the kid has 60 bucks, he wants to spend 55 on a laptop that stays connected to the wall cause the battery is dead. I was asking why do kids feel like they need to spend every dollar they have

[vital oak]

if i needed to do that i have a powerful desktop right infront of me

[vital oak]

can you stop calling me a kid
also why the fuck shouldn’t i lol

[fossil frost]

tbh, $60, i would buy a 4th gen intel optiplex that would come with 8gb of ram

[shut lichen]

It may be fine for your use but the amount of money spent on it is a bad choice

[long briar]

but he wants a laptop

[vital oak]

i bidded on some optiplexes earlier

got outbidded at the last second on this joblet

really sad cause it was a good deal lol

[long briar]

aren't you like 16?

[vital oak]

does it matter?

[long briar]

you've said it in the past

yes that makes you a kid

[vital oak]

i’ve never explicitly stated my age

does it mean i want to be called that

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585>

[harsh quartz]

Do you smell burnt toast?

If that’s a yes Langley then either 1) take the bread out of the toaster or B) go to a doctor

[fossil frost]

the burnt toast being a sign of a stroke thing, is a myth

[harsh quartz]

I’m aware. But it’s a myth the whole internet knows about so you understood the context

Usually it’s funnier than asking if someone’s having a stroke

[flint wing]

hi

[karmic flame]

Thank god, turns out im literally burning toast and not on deaths doorstep.

[fossil frost]

didnt know people could still burn toast.. i thought everyone just found a setting on the toaster that works for them, and then never look at that dial ever again

[karmic flame]

You have a toaster?

https://tenor.com/view/smores-fire-camp-gif-12065938

[fossil frost]

yes, and if anybody messes with the dial that sets the toastedness of the bread, they will be thrown into a volcano

[sage quiver]

What if the bread is frozen

[karmic flame]

Burns slower

[fossil frost]

never an issue in this house, if anything, the problem is making sure my kids dont eat all the bread before i come to eat some myself... my kids eat toast, loads

[vapid smelt]

im giving out pepper spray this Halloween

[sage quiver]

Fair enough lol

[sage quiver]

That’s a weird way to word hot sauce

[hot tartan]

Like a free sample or a test

[vapid smelt]

12 lucky kids are getting this

[hot tartan]

in b4 they test it and aim it right back at you

[tired glade]

That's legal, right?

[fossil frost]

thats their problem, not yours 😄

[grim belfry]

Jue-Fish make great products

[tired glade]

Overused force during protection also a crime

[fossil frost]

again, their problem, not yours 😄

[tired glade]

It will be your problem

[vapid smelt]

as long as i dont sell it?

[tired glade]

Oh, they rewrote it again

[fossil frost]

given the state of the legal system in the uk, where you can literally run over children, in a school playground, after crashing through a fence, and claim it wasnt your fault because, even with absolutely no medical history of epilepsy at all... you had an epileptic issue... you completely get away with murdering 2 children... ill take my chance with a bit of excess force 🙂

[tired glade]

That won't work, police will put case on you

[vapid smelt]

clearly its the fences fault for not stoping the car

[tired glade]

Medical can lower your sentence,but it won't remove it

[fossil frost]

my example literally happened, a woman drove a land rover through a school playground, injured 11 kids, and killed 2, claimed she had epilepsy, after several tests, never had anything before or since... got away with absolutely nothing at all...

this was within the last 2 years

[tired glade]

Someone needs to cover that hole in the law

[fossil frost]

if you kill someone with a car, its not murder, its an "unfortunate accident"...

[vapid smelt]

the over sized land rover is the perfect family killer family vehicle

[tired glade]

Oh,oh

Yep, that will be classified as murder here

[fossil frost]

it is/should be here too... she was driving while on the phone, got distracted, lost control and killed 2 kids... it was entirely her fault.. but she has white skin, the 2 kids had brown skin, and she has money... so she got away with murdering 2 children through carelessness

[vapid smelt]

how much money?

[tired glade]

Oh,her phone wasn't on mute

[fossil frost]

she was holding it in her hand, mute is irrelevant

also, court backlogs, because of underfunding, and ALL courts literally falling apart... there are trials for crimes that happened in 2018, with new trial dates being set for 2027

[tired glade]

Sounds like corruption in the system

[fossil frost]

rapists being allowed to walk around, for 9 years, free, because the government wont fund the courts

so as i said... a little bit of excessive force... never gonna get seen

UK legal system is completely and totally fucked

[vapid smelt]

you know what madam its been nearly a decade since this happened lets just let you off with a warning 😉

[fossil frost]

these are assault trials ON women... the type of trials where describing what happened, gets you warshipped

[open shadow]

DDU deleted the intel display drivers (intended) and my UEFI system (not intended) and left my partitions intact but UEFI cannot see my NVME and i cannot boot into it
the windows install disk also cannot fix it but it does see the NVME

and its partitions

[tired glade]

Wait,ddu can delete uefi?

[fossil frost]

do you have another system, that the same version of windows is installed on?

[open shadow]

apparently
after i did that the UEFI cannot find an efi folder on my nvme to boot into

[open shadow]

no but i have an install disk that also cannot fix it but did verify that my drive and partitions do exist

[vapid smelt]

if we went back in time and used the evil punishments we would have less crime imo

[fossil frost]

that messes up my fix then... you could use a linux live cd/usb, grab the EFI boot files from the bootable system, and then copy them to the non-booting system, it SHOULD reactivate the ability to boot on that system

[open shadow]

i have a laptop i could use with windows 11 but does it have to be the same update or just windows 11

[fossil frost]

just win11 is fine

[open shadow]

where would i put the efi folder

[fossil frost]

when i had to do it, i had to put it on a usb drive, and then copy it to the hidden EFI partition on the windows NVME

[open shadow]

is it completely invisible in windows or just hidden in file explorer

[fossil frost]

it has no volume label, so it never gets mounted, because it has no need to be, its easiest to access it from a linux live usb

[fossil frost]

this is where you need to copy from, on the laptop, and where you need to copy TO on the broken machine... but will obviously look different under linux (i recommend ubuntu, since it very easily shows these volumes)

[open shadow]

you have no idea how helpful this is, thank you so much

[fossil frost]

its ok, ive done the same thing before by accident when dual booting 😄

hi

[mint abyss]

The best way to create airflow is to suck cold air from the front, push hot air out on the top and back, correct? If I have a psu that has to push air out from the bottom, do I suck air into the case from the top?

[grim belfry]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/934533744197513269/1295975205931585596/render4.gif?ex=672509b7&is=6723b837&hm=d75c5341b7d293dee397a613c723f26142fe5d99907ef196a114616387a90211&

[mint abyss]

my psu has to push air downward and exit the case

[grim belfry]

Does it?

[dawn jackal]

Is this enough airflow?

[mint abyss]

I'm preparing for the upgrade tomorrow, maybe I remembered it wrong, but I think last time I tried I couldn't get the psu to suck air upward and the psu fan needed to point downward

I'll take a close look tomorrow

[grim belfry]

Unless you’ve modified your power supply, it will operate like this

[mint abyss]

Ah I see, I think my psu is not pushing air into the case, but only cooling itself, sucking air from the bottom of the case and exhaust to the back

[grim belfry]

It’s only meant to cool itself

[mint abyss]

got it, thank you!

[grim belfry]

No worries

I can already tell I won’t be able to find the game I’m looking for

[patent violet]

I actually have considered modifying a PSU for a POC that would use fresh air from the sides

But honestly it's not worth it because the efficient ones don't put out enough heat to actually worry

[manic torrent]

any anything that uses enough power for it to be an issue are going to need so much air to cool it anyway it doesn't matter.

[patent violet]

Sometimes my variable transformer gets really toasty and I have to put a fan on it

Guys, will Apple ever release a chip like the M2 Ultra ?

Because as of now even the M4 Max is weaker than the M2 Ultra

[full fossil]

Maybe, it wasn't announced with the new macs, which is when they would talk about it, so the ultra might be a two time deal

[balmy tiger]

Apple hasn't released the Mac Studio or Mac Pro yet.. Perhaps..

M2 Ultra is by far the best chip Apple has ever made

[balmy tiger]

Mac Studio with M4 Ultra would be the literal best PC

[fossil frost]

urgh... my factory in satisfactory is the most disorganised mess 😄

very definition of organic growth 😄

[harsh quartz]

Make it inorganic

[manic torrent]

tbh you can't make a decent factory until higher tiers, which is part of the point

[fossil frost]

ive unlocked everything through to tier 8, and ive only got 1 thing to unlock in tier 8 😄

factory is still a shitty mess

[manic torrent]

well that is on you 😄

[harsh quartz]

So I just found out yesterday that satisfactory had an arachnophobia setting. I think I’ll be picking it up tonight in that case

[tired glade]

How giga factory projects in satisfactory?

[fossil frost]

I'll send you a video later on. Just taking the kids out now. You will be disgusted in it's layout

[mint yacht]

Factorio also has an arachnophobia setting

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, I never vibed with factorial though. I played the demo and didn’t like it too much. If I’m gonna play a 2d factory builder it’s gonna be minedustry

Also I didn’t think the factories bugs were spiders

[tired glade]

On different planets different animals presented

Also,Factorio is way better at mega project

[wispy marsh]

Ooh satisfactory

[harsh quartz]

Didn’t even know it had different planets. Like I said, I just didn’t really vibe with it, not sure why

[silk ridge]

Can we bring our pc on international travel? Like if you know what i mean

[sour yacht]

how would you rate this system? and what would you upgrade first?

gpu: sapphire amd radeon 7900xtx pulse
cpu: amd ryzen 7 5700x3d
ssd: 2tb samsung 990pro + 2tb samsung 870evo
psu: msi meg ai1300p
mobo: gigabyte aorus x370 gaming k7
ram: corsair 32gb 3200mhz ddr4
cooler: thermalright peerless assassin 120

kb: razer huntsman v2 analog
mouse: razer deathadder v2 pro
monitor: asus mg279q

monitor first? its quite old now... and i kinda want an oled monitor

[dense quail]

Nothing, that's fine

maybe the monitor

[silk ridge]

Honestly it kind of sucks going for a top end gpu isnt the best. The cpu i would use 7600x and ram atleast 6000mhz

[dense quail]

There's literally nothing wrong with that build

It's a solid high end rig

[sour yacht]

it makes sense for me. i can't upgrade my gpu often

[silk ridge]

The cpu may be a bit week to support the gpu there may be bigger bottleneck

[sour yacht]

inflation is crazy in my country and i'm not rich

[silk ridge]

Thats your rig then u damn rich imo💀

[sour yacht]

and they always increase the taxes

i had to pay 1300 USD for that 7900xtx

and thats a first party seller

and it was by far the cheapest sku

[plain wing]

Ooof

30%

[sour yacht]

iphone 16 pro max 1tb is $3500 here just as an example... phones got some of the biggest tax increases

same can happen to pc parts any day 😄

[silk ridge]

Where u from

[sour yacht]

in the past i could just order from amazon us, pay a reasonable import tax and get my items... got my current mobo, previous gpu cpu etc. that way... now we cant even order anything above €30

[sour yacht]

hell, but the official name is turkey

[silk ridge]

Maybe oys time to leave turkey

[sour yacht]

thats the dream

my previous gpu was 980ti and im glad i got it. cuz i couldn't afford an upgrade till recently. going high end is imo the best option here

[sour yacht]

also, no... i dont even have a car for example, not even a motorcycle 😄 i can barely afford these upgrades by paying em in installments

if you're going to get him a headset don't get the 3S get a used 3

[dense quail]

Don't do it

[jaunty compass]

also yeah probably don't get him one period

[dense quail]

Resist the cyberpunk future, get him a "how to survive skynet for dummies" book

[jaunty compass]

but if you do, a used 3 is better than a new 3S imo, mostly because of how much better the lenses are

[wild finch]

Does anyone know why my pc won't boot when using expo or xmp.

[dense quail]

He'll thank you when we're knee deep in robo skulls shooting lazers from our future guns

[jaunty compass]

a skill issue idk

[dense quail]

Bad dedidawated wam

[dense quail]

just select lower speeds until it boots dude

For memory to run at certain speeds, the cpu, mb and ram must be ALL able to run at that speed. If any one of them can’t, then, it won’t run.

[wild finch]

Every single one of them can run at 6000

prolly there's no reason not to... right?

[heady flicker]

if you're determined you can slap a fourth one on the side

And windows is asking me if I want to upgrade to windows 11
Apparently they fixed the windows 11 issue
Should i?
check it out

i have a feeling im gonna regret it

[surreal kernel]

Tf is fire strike

[flat osprey]

its one of the benchmarks from 3D Mark, a benchmarking application

its great i recommend it

it lets you compare your results with other peoples online who have the same hardware as you

[surreal kernel]

I know what 3dmark is I've just not rlly heard of anyone using that particular bench

[flat osprey]

oh ok, its one of the older ones

idk thats just the one ive always used since like 2014 lol

maybe ill try timespy

I guess I'll try windows 11, I could always revert if it sucks

[surreal kernel]

Older ones may give less accurate results

[flat osprey]

Yeah fire strike uses dx11 timespy uses dx12

I have the 7600 overclocked to 5.4ghz @ 1.3v and +400MHz on the RAM

Any modern computer can run any OS hypothetically.

Hackintoshes exist last time I checked

[spice sand]

I’d like to see my 5600x run windows 3.1

On hardware

VMs are cheating

[dense quail]

No, they're not.

VMs are literally how you'd achieve that

[spice sand]

Then my powermac G5 runs windows xp

[fossil frost]

try not to be a facetious smart-arse... it just comes off as being an arsehole that actually being inteligent

[spice sand]

And windows me, and 95, and 98, and 2K

[dense quail]

This should be pinned in all the channels here.

Oh Bizz did I tell you I got that Razer mouses extra button to work

[spice sand]

VMs are running an OS ontop of another OS, that’s why I’d consider it cheating

[vapid smelt]

Wouldn't the virtual machine be running it then not the physical machine

[silver sun]

303

[fossil frost]

how?

[spice sand]

That’s what I’m sayin

[dense quail]

Through context I was referring to more modern OS's and distros that exist now rather than old software.

[fossil frost]

a VM doesnt run ON another OS, it runs WITHIN it, ON the actual hardware... so no, its not cheating... the cpu still runs the instructions directly

[dense quail]

Had to find a program that recognised it as a key and then unbind it from "Hyperspeed" what ever that is

Now I can use it as my melee hehe

[spice sand]

Then how does my powermac G5 runs windows xp despite xp not even being written for RISC

[fossil frost]

because thats not running within a VM, thats running within an emulator... they are different things

if you had bothered to read the full welcome message that told you to say hello, you would see how... and the very reason they are not automatic, is to make sure people read and understand the message

[opal thunder]

Bruh chat today

[fossil frost]

you? yeah probably

<@&750150305383186585> spam/troll

[high yarrow]

think it lacks realmode and it would probably have to emulate the 16bit mode aswell , so even on hardware its not that different than using a vm in this case i think

[high yarrow]

powerpc you mean , and unless you have moddedc and compiled the xp source code for powerpc , your using an emulator i think , (if im not mistaken there does exist a version of nt4 for powerpc , and a compiler that can compile that for that platform and nt4 sources are on github so , but still woud be an insane task to port enough of it to xp to make it even compile without errors...

[spice sand]

I mean Microsoft made the software to make it possible to run windows on a PowerPC Mac

[high yarrow]

well, it runs next to it , hypervisor and stuff so its cpu based but one has control over the other

[high yarrow]

yeah lik nt4 but Xp i doubt that actually

heres the stuff to compile nt4 for (ibm) ppc http://ps-2.kev009.com/pccbbs/powerpc/

(aso big difference if the vm runs in hypervisor mode or if you emulate the actual cpu like with qemu ofc :))

(* wanted to give compiling XP sources a go some time , looked up just what was required to do that , and damn even just compiling XP or server 2003 for x86 is almost insanity :))

Like it a lot more than the other factory builders

[fossil frost]

the one thing i dont like about satisfactory, is the one thing i thought i WOULD like... theres no polution penalty like there is in factorio... you can build as big and as inefficient as you want, as long as it works, it doesnt matter

[dense quail]

Aesthetically it's not as good either

Factorio has a great vibe

[fossil frost]

they are different, i like both for how they both look... i just need something to play AGAINST... rather than just myself

no but it looks like a lot of fun
had a friend that played it a lot

[mint abyss]

Do I get extra cpu performance out of AMD ryzen master utility software? my cpu is ryzen 7700x

[balmy tiger]

You can undervolt your processor, and allow Ryzen Master to further utilize its power to boost the CPU's performance

[mint abyss]

so I cannot get extra performance, but I can save some power and maybe maintain a similar performance?

[balmy tiger]

No, you can reduce the voltage and get more performance

[frail cipher]

guys

good news

[mint abyss]

ok thanks, reducing the voltage and get more performance doesn't make sense to me but I'll try it.

[sour yacht]

cooler temps=more boost

as long as its stable, lower voltage is better

[balmy tiger]

Voltage + Intensity = Power

Lowering the voltage doesn't automatically mean less power, if you increase the intensity, like while using PBO you can push more power and performance

[frail cipher]

cyberpunk with raytracing on medium on a non-rtx gpu running smooth as butter on a hot pan

god i love my pc

[balmy tiger]

Lower Voltage = Lower Temps = More room for boost

[dense quail]

GTA 5?

[balmy tiger]

Or, lower voltage + higher intensity = more power, more performance, more everything

[frail cipher]

and by smooth i mean 30-40fps smooth, not 60 or higher

Yes

[dense quail]

Gta five?

[dense quail]

GTA?

[balmy tiger]

Cyberpunk 2077 is a game, GTA is another game

[patent violet]

Voltage * Amperage = Wattage (Power)

[frail cipher]

its a troll, just dont mind him

[balmy tiger]

Yeah tension + intensity = power

[dense quail]

Sorry I'm trying to figure out how to get that car in GTA 5 (Grand Theft Auto five)

I dunno if you've heard of it? It's a very small indie game

[balmy tiger]

The troll allegations were confirmed when you said this (lol)

[dense quail]

What allegations

[frail cipher]

apparently any game with reshade and ssr enabled is gta 5

[patent violet]

Volts is more like pressure. Amperage (Current actually) is more like the flow (you could say speed). Resistance would just be resistance. You can use a water hose analogy for this

[frail cipher]

but anyways, im trynna get some new cars and bikes, anyone got mods for it?

[fossil frost]

apparently you need to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm

[patent violet]

Volts = Water Pressure
Current = Water Flow
Resistance = Diameter of the Water Hose in relation to the resistance against flow

The company also owns 50% of professional esports organization NBA 2K League.[3] Take-Two's combined portfolio includes franchises such as BioShock, Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, WWE 2K, and Red Dead among others. )

[iron lagoon]

where did u learn abt this

[patent violet]

DIY a keyboard

[fossil frost]

some of the best... there are others that make headphones that are just as good, if not better... some places still exist, some dont (RIP AKG)

[balmy tiger]

As soon as I saw they made a 40000 dollar piece of headphones

[wispy marsh]

Do you mean with pcb or handwired?

[balmy tiger]

That looks like something a netflix producer would use

[patent violet]

https://makerdiary.com/products/m60-mechanical-keyboard-pcba
Something like this

[iron lagoon]

goddamn

[wispy marsh]

Yeah that's a normal keyboard

[lilac bear]

yeah saying it's good headphones because they cost 40 grand isn't exactly genius

[balmy tiger]

Well there wouldn't be so many reviews on it, it's cutting edge hardware

[lilac bear]

Supreme clothing anyone?

[patent violet]

that keyboard is fun because it uses an nRF52840 and allows you to use NFC through it

[balmy tiger]

Something.. you can't make better, idk, like the corsair ax1600i of headphones

[patent violet]

I can use a yubikey on it which is kinda cool

[lilac bear]

so you're saving up for those 40k headphones

because "they're the best"

[balmy tiger]

No why would I need 40k headphones

When did I say i ever want 40k headphones

[lilac bear]

you said nothing can beat them

[balmy tiger]

The gsp670 (the one I want) costs 100 usd

Not 400x the price

[patent violet]

Attached microphone
bleh

[lilac bear]

oh you're buying $100 ones..

that are gaming oriented

[patent violet]

Doing research on those headphones comes up with very bad reviews

[lilac bear]

purely off brand

[balmy tiger]

They're better than the gimmicks other brands make

[patent violet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/sennheiser/comments/xxb0kf/whats_up_with_the_gsp_670_headset/
lol doesnt seem like it

[balmy tiger]

I'm not gonna buy them tho.. why? They aint available in my country

[fossil frost]

ha... this video has JUST started right now on autoplay... listen to this video, and choose whichever you want https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk-Tybi-ihw

[balmy tiger]

That seems like a person got either a bad usb port or their device was faulty on arrival

[worthy jackal]

I know this is not a pc building discord however is anyone super knowledgeable about parts that I can run a question across

[lilac bear]

obviously they're better than the Gaming Ear Speakers AI Sound from BIZADID776 from Amazon.com

[patent violet]

Its not a single person, look at the comments

[round bridge]

Counter strike source is 20years old today

[fossil frost]

yep, i remember switching from 1.6 to source, with my mates, and we all hated it initially 😄

[lilac bear]

but like I said
you're judging purely on brand name and not what the product you're buying is

[balmy tiger]

Guys airpods max or 300 dollar senheisser headphones ?

[dapper ledge]

Hello there

[lilac bear]

cope harder

[patent violet]

I use my Samsung Galaxy Buds and they work quite well for just about everything

[fossil frost]

i got some sony wh1000xm4 for free with my wifes previous phone... having used them for nearly 2 years now.. i would still have been happy if i had paid full price for them

[lilac bear]

guys it's Senheisser or Apple 😠 I only judge purely on brand name!

but yeah sound devices can be complicated as hell

and a lot of times comes down to the individual models

[fossil frost]

its almost like people want their audio device for different things, and individual people who have the same needs... have different ears and hear things differently... 😄

and its even more so like, you cant judge an entire brand without knowing anything about the person, or their requirements.. .and people should do their own research for what is best for them as an individual within their price band, instead of buying whatever they are told to buy by influencers or even people on discord

[lilac bear]

yeah one company can make a really good headphone and also make really bad headphones

and yeah comfort is also a major factor

which then is even more specific to the individual

took me a few headphones before I landed on one that didn't hurt my head after an hour

[junior sentinel]

Does anyone know how to watch floatplane on a firetv Stick? The regular android app acts ... Well... Weird

[patent violet]

especially when companies overtime cycle out employees

ofc its not the same as it used to be

and also the fact that everything is profit driven now too

[lilac bear]

Beats is probably a good example.. kinda
they were the first major name to have deeper bass than any other major name afaik
but today it's incredibly hard to recommend them at all

[summer folio]

Sony XtraBass Series would like to have a word

[lilac bear]

I knew someone had to have done it before Beats

god marketing is a bitch

and Beats was strong as hell in marketing

[grim belfry]

Just cast from your phone

[summer folio]

Think Sony nerfed their bass in their XB over-ear latest gen.
Like if XB-950 had 100% bass, XB-900N(current name? or maybe XB910N) have 70% of the bass power at max.

[grim belfry]

Or watch it from the web browser

[summer folio]

So, maybe beats is the entry move now?
Idk, never tried them.

[summer folio]

Spicy Samsung Battery replacement. My hands are intact haha

[grim belfry]

So ugly inside

[faint cypress]

Which phone?

[grim belfry]

Apple does such a good job making their phones beautiful inside even though they don't want anyone to open them lmao

[near nymph]

Samsung S22. Friend’s phone back glass started popping off. So I installed a new battery for him lol

[faint cypress]

Cool

[near nymph]

Tbh… fucking easy repair. All the screws in this model is the same

All Philips head 😆

3.5mm

[faint cypress]

I wish newer phones from apple had tht

[cosmic copper]

no, we are different people

[calm swan]

theyre easier than before

[near nymph]

Gosh the feeling of fixing a phone is awesome

I used to do it for money 😆 a few years back. Not rly anymore.

[faint cypress]

Or even y
The new pixels

[near nymph]

Fuck me… the Pixel 7 Pro is difficult to repair

[faint cypress]

Is it the one without pull tabs

[near nymph]

The charge port isn’t separate. So if your port is bad you need to do some soldering

I just said fuck it and bought a 16 Pro Max

[faint cypress]

I'm stupid and it's harder but replace the mobo

And just resoder

The nand

Flash

[near nymph]

Gonna bring my Pixel 7 Pro to Shenzhen to have them do the soldering. Got rid of most of my equipment

[faint cypress]

And like resoder the things tht r serialised

[near nymph]

Eh it’s rly not that difficult

[mint abyss]

ryzen master utility is running an 1hour per core optimization test, can i play games/run intense programs during the optimization?

[balmy tiger]

What do you think

[dense quail]

No

[lilac bear]

I would not take this chats opinion honestly

[pale bloom]

perfect size phone

[lilac bear]

that is recent for a spicy battery

[lilac bear]

not to be the nerd
but uhm achually iPhone 15 is easier to repair than previous phones

also Apple doesn't glue shut their batteries down unlike Samsung

the issue is that you still have to get iPhones repaired "the Apple way" but at least for the 15 that actually means repair

not that repair is actually in people's focus when you guys buy the latest Samsung, Pixel, or iPhone

kinda like the same group that begs for 3.5mm to return

and then choose wireless earbuds anyway

[summer folio]

EU should make a law with removable battery with just your fingernails already

[balmy tiger]

Battery: over 50%

Unknowledgable person: tries to repair the battery with this new fingernail design

Accidently creates a huge dent into the battery

Explosion

[gilded quest]

Sony phones be expensive :/

[balmy tiger]

I saw a video of a person dissassembling a battery and putting it with water, it created a big explosion

Big enough to ensure loss of an arm if you stand next to it

[summer folio]

Hehe, well it's not really new. Samsung Note 4 had removable battery tray. etc(older phones).

[surreal kernel]

Uh dunno abt that

Phone batteries have a fair amount of lithium in them but idk if theres actually enough to do all that

[lilac bear]

^^^

ebike batteries for sure can kill you

but phone batteries uhhhh it's a non zero chance sure

https://youtu.be/Vx9jfJB60io

[eager venture]

if I have a question for the mods/have a issue, how should I get my message to them

[vapid zephyr]

That highly depends on your environment

If you live in an area that's particularly humid, accidentally stabbing a phone battery can result in it exploding in your face

[valid rapids]

the new LTtown can have a building like this

[summer folio]

Today techquickie, Why does Linus pretend like it's bad to have Ethernet cables running threw the house?

It's not like it take up much space, just have it against the wall?

25 meter cable should do the trick?

[trail coral]

guys money is the problem or the soluction?

[gilded quest]

Needs more shitters

[summer folio]

[trail coral]

cant u just pass trough conduits?

[summer folio]

Hiding cables behind list is also unneccesary imo, just nail on the list lol

[trail coral]

hmm, i mean, im Brazil it's common to build the house with it already, my room has 3 diferent conduits that can be pass any cable

idk how outside houses works

[summer folio]

Neat! Our Concrete houses from the 60s & 70s don't even have grounded outlets

There is ethernet outlets in the living room, but it's going threw a list in on the wall threw house.

lol

My point was using inferior technology like Wi-Fi when you can just buy ethernet cable seems weird.
Not to mention the tech proposed in todays techquicky

[patent violet]

does it have coax?

[summer folio]

Yes, but it's ellectrified?

TV antenna is coax?

[patent violet]

oh you have an OTA Antenna

I was gonna say, you could use MoCA

OTA Antennas may have an LNA inline but they are meant for recieving only + they are passive (not like a sat dish) so they are not usually powered

[summer folio]

Idk if it's "powered" or not, but if you connect a TV antenna cable to the wall & touch the other end you instantly retract your hand?

"Bzzzt" it buzzes you lol

[patent violet]

is it a sat dish?

those usually have power injected into them by a Bias-T

Or if you are close to a Radio broadcasting station, it could be getting that

[summer folio]

Todays Techquciky videos was about "Hey, you can use MoCA instead of using a long ethernet cable"

[patent violet]

lol really

[summer folio]

I just disagreed.

I like long ethernet cables threw the house. Works great.

[patent violet]

MoCA is expensive. Thats the real downside

[summer folio]

There is always atleast 2, antenna jacks in the wall.
1 is for TV. 1 is for Radio.

Never seen anyone using the Radio antenna xd

[patent violet]

Heh I had to check, but as it turns out MOCA and OTA TV can live on the same coax

It can also coexist with Cable

huh

this is what makes coax funny. Its carrying analog signals which operate at certian frequencies. So you can have multiple signals over the same coaxial so long as they dont overlap in frequency range

[summer folio]

Telia do be shutting down the Analog TV antennas in February here to be fair

[patent violet]

With Ethernet, you cant really do the same by making use of the physical characteristics of the medium.

Instead, we use digital communications on ethernet. So while you can carry multiple types of data/info by wrapping it in ethernet packets, its not quite the same.

[grim belfry]

DOCSIS doesn’t like sharing the coax with cable TV so I doubt MoCA would

[patent violet]

You can share MOCA with one or the other, but cable and TV you cant

Those 2 overlap with each other, but MoCA still sits outside

[summer folio]

LTT made a video on Ethernet-Splitter & made their own I think last year.
Used half the pins for 1 computer & half for another?

Today I would like to announce that I am using unix-based only OS for the time being

[patent violet]

This was a trick also used for landline and internet

used the unused pair

[grim belfry]

Bonded ADSL

[manic torrent]

I use one for the majority of the time.

[summer folio]

ADSL internet?

[full fossil]

During masters I use unix-like for 99% of the time

[patent violet]

Nah, when you wanted ethernet + landline

sometimes installers would steal the unused pair

[summer folio]

Hmm

[grim belfry]

:(

[manic torrent]

It was super common back in the day

[summer folio]

I had a really weird internet connection in my student apartment.
Used to be old hotel. Bet it was that.

[grim belfry]

On a scale of 1-10, how difficult would it be to remove the mountain

[summer folio]

like phone line converter thingy

[manic torrent]

This is why canbus is cool.

[teal estuary]

so, Darwin?

[teal estuary]

im curious, which one?

[manic torrent]

The only issue is it's meant for the US, and automotive stuff is coded to "drivers side/passenger side" rather than right/left, so the stuff appears on the opposite side.

[manic torrent]

Not one, several 😄 but yeah I run Ubuntu on my laptop, a variety of distros and openbsd and freeBSD at work, and obviously android.

[patent violet]

it wasnt something like this right?

[teal estuary]

linux, unix, unix, linux

[summer folio]

It was a landline connector, smaller than ethernet, connected to a box, & the box gave ethernet.

everybody had that in their student apartment ig

[manic torrent]

RJ12

[patent violet]

RJ12

[summer folio]

gotcha

[patent violet]

6P6C

[summer folio]

it was horribly unstable, & like 1Mbit maybe, I think someone had their IP adress configured wrongly also.

[manic torrent]

Ironically RJ45 isn't used basically anywhere but effectively means 8p8c in modern parlance.

[teal estuary]

i love the wikipedia entry on that misuse

[patent violet]

Oh you mean how RJ45 is actually a keyed 8p8c connector in reality?

[teal estuary]

it reads like the fucking stallman copypasta

[manic torrent]

Yeah but most people have no idea

Which is kinda fair enough, but it does shit me that we don't have a sensible name for it.

[teal estuary]

i mean, its kinda like the AMP Mate-n-Lok

which itself isn't specific enough, because thats a whole ass series

shit gets used incorrectly a lot

[pure knoll]

Lol

[analog pike]

Say hi!

[patent violet]

RJ45S is interesting. It has a resistor in it

[manic torrent]

?

[pure knoll]

Just reacting 🤷‍♂️

[pure knoll]

We need user made captchas ✅

Whoa, hey there, none of that! I was told that resisting a rest was futile.
