if you have a .edu email i believe autodesk inventor is still free

[full fossil]

i swear it should be law that if you havent used an account in lets say 3 years they have to delete the account and any data associated with it. and when they do they have to send an email to you let you know they are doing so. cause ITS SOOOO JARING to try to go through all these sites and delete the bullshit

[fossil frost]

EU/UK, that is a law (sort of)... companies are only allowed to keep your data as long as its business critical to have your data, and, they are only allowed as much data as is absolutely required to do that business... i get emails frequently from EU/UK based companies (or any company, that operates in those countries), that says that they are gonna delete my account if i dont use it

some companies just dont do it.. many do, especially if they have already been reported for not doing it

[sharp bramble]

What are the best games to play on a racing sim? And are all racing games compatible?

[full fossil]

i dont see how it would be "business critical" after three years and ive still got so many accounts open that done have any purchases on them e.g. wargames for world of tanks...havent played that game in like 8 years, no purchases on that account, yet its still open. (i understand the you could loose progression if you decide to go back) but thats why i said "they have to send you an email to let you know they are doing so"

[fossil frost]

casual? or serious?

[full fossil]

idk but there is a good youtuber i think his name is optimum and hes starting to get into racing sims and hes very good at evaluation of whats best for what situation.

[sharp bramble]

Na casual

[fossil frost]

Project Cars, F1 20xx, Forza... if you want realism, but also still casual

if you want more hardcore.. iRacing

[sharp bramble]

Forza is harder to run on pcs?

[fossil frost]

if you want more "just messing around". DIRT Rally, or WRC

[hot tartan]

There is also a new assetto corsa game coming in January

[fossil frost]

it runs fine on almost anything, as long as you get the settings right

[sharp bramble]

If i wanna push graphics then forza?

Because im using a 4090

[fossil frost]

any of them, just crank the settings

[flint mountain]

ive returned

[sharp bramble]

Whoch do you prefer?

[fossil frost]

im an F1 fan, so if i play something that i want to look nice, but also makes me want to throw my monitors out the window... F1 2024... if i wanna just play a game, Dirt Rally 2

[hot tartan]

F1 24 :(

I was going to buy it but it seems a little sad

[fossil frost]

if you wanna compete against actual F1 drivers online, they all use iRacing on their home sim setups

max verstappen is world champion on iRacing, as well as in an actual real F1 car 😄

[hot tartan]

I just play Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa

[sharp bramble]

Games r so expensive😭

[full fossil]

4 days without an upload? You okey guys?

[fossil frost]

they did say after all that stuff went down, they are not forcing themselves to a shedule.. they are aiming for it, but, if videos are not really, they wont get rushed out just for the sake of the schedule

[hot tartan]

Do you have a wheel setup?

[gilded quest]

there are plenty of cheap good games that are actually worth your money

look at indies and older games

[pliant karma]

it's ehh F1 2020 was my fav

lol I just have F1 2024 purely for benchmarking

[fossil frost]

A cheap one yeah. Bought it for the kids but they never used it. So I use it

[hot tartan]

Ok cool just curious

[harsh pike]

guys would it better for me to buy the g14(2022 with 6800s) vs the g14(2024 with 4060), I dont really care about the OLED screen, i found the g14 for 735 bucks 2022, so Im wondering if that would be a better option

[lilac bear]

people be like "there's no good games today"
and then buy a new CoD game every year

WEBFISHING is a new trend-ish game that's like animal crossing if it focused on fishing

Deep Rock Galactic always has 50% off sales

[turbid warren]

Holiday in bc today

[full fossil]

Ah I forgot they talked about this on last episode

[summer folio]

Still don't see why anybody would want to buy a cod game

Isn't that just a nerfed Battlefield game?

Where are the tanks & jet planes

& motorcycles & jeeps

[fossil frost]

because people enjoy it for whatever reason, and its their money.. i dont, so wont spent my money on it... but if they wanna spend theirs, thats up to them

[summer folio]

I guess WarThunder is reverse CoD: War game but you're not allowed to leave the vehicle.

Battlefield the complete wargame.

[proud stump]

I keep trying to do research on a ram kit upgrade I'm gonna do but every video I watch or see is gaming with no background tasks I do content creation video editing and recording do I need 64gb of ram 2 x 32 or will 32 gb 2 x 16 be fine for me I'm using ddr4

[drifting mason]

cod players when they learn about carp

[silver sun]

[flat pivot]

huh was there no videos from ltt channels since november 9?

[fossil frost]

something missing from howlongtobeat.com is... i wanna be able to say "i want a list of this type of game, for this platform.. that takes between X and Y hours to complete"

[noble lion]

Would probably be quite db intensive

[fossil frost]

not at all, they are all quite simple clauses to do in a single query. they currently offer a search by game name, which is a fulltext query, which IS quite db intensive compared to simple flag clauses like what i want

[graceful burrow]

An extreme Longshot but does it have an api?

[fossil frost]

first thing i checked, it does not

[graceful burrow]

Figured

[near thunder]

ye they missed sunday video time, too quiet

[graceful burrow]

It a holiday in bc

[noble lion]

No api means the website is the api :)

[full fossil]

Just thought of a sick idea ... Banking apps should have a sorting system. For example you make a big purchase, you should be able to file that into a folder called "receipts" maybe name the folder or something. ELITEEE!! makes it easier when it comes to proof of purchase stuff for warranties YGMM!!!!

Like for example I'm buying pc parts. I should be able to make a folder for "pc part recipes" and just add the purchases to that!!

[fossil frost]

i have built a industrial level website scraper for my friends business, it scrapes 100s of different websites for job listings and formats them all in a uniform style, and submits them to his website. its a core part of his business... 😄 if howtobeat had a list of games that i could iterate through and scrape properly, i would do that, and it would take me minutes to make an excel sheet i could do what i want with

[full fossil]

Also it would make accounting so much easier for accountants no??

Come on now, out here with the big ideas!!!

[noble lion]

Bro discovered accounting

Next up
Managing your savings

[full fossil]

I know but it would make it easier!! It would be like personal accounting direct to consumer instead of hiring someone to note it all down

[full fossil]

Nah banks have already figured out managing savings lol

[fossil frost]

banks know exactly how to manage your savings... they do whatever makes THEM the most money with your money

[full fossil]

Fax, but they give you different folders (accounts) within the same account to manage it. That's basically what I'm saying to do but for proof of purchase stuff.

[simple creek]

Hey, what do y'all think is a good asking price for my old gaming rig I'm trying to sell? i7-9700kf, factory OC 3060ti, 32gb DDR4 2666, 1tb NVME

I was thinking $800usd

[fossil frost]

its entirely up to you and what you wanna ask for it

if you wanna figure out a range, look on ebay or facebook marketplace and look what similar specs are selling for

otherwise, its worth whatever someone else is willing to pay

[simple creek]

$800 seems to be the floor for building a comparable system with used parts.

[fossil frost]

then you have already found your own answer 😄

[flat pivot]

yeah, I hope some interesting vids soon

[fair estuary]

Switch acquired for £20 🤌 8 1gig ports.
Is there a chance its stolen since it looks brand new and retails for £126 maybe but I'm not caring its mine now

[fossil frost]

8 port 1gig switches are available on amazon for £30 new

[fair estuary]

🤷🏻‍♂️ oh well. With poe? Idk if that bumps the price. This the first one I've had

[drifting mason]

my banking app does that and it autocategorizes stuff

[fossil frost]

ah, POE, cheapest new one with 8 ports is 50 quid then

[full fossil]

That's pretty cool, although manually doing it should be an option too imo

[fair estuary]

revolute manually does it but you can manually go and change if you think something was not categories correctly

[fair estuary]

ah im guessing just the netgear logo adds on the extra 70 quid lol

we love expensive paint 🙂

[alpine gale]

Depends entirely on the exact model of equipment. Always best to include that when asking questions specific to a given piece of hardware. Anywho, could it be stolen? Sure. Is it stolen? No way for us to tell.

[fossil frost]

where did you buy it from?

[alpine gale]

Banking apps should have partnered with Mint.com before Intuit shut it down. Mint.com was a godsend when it came to categorizing purchases and budgeting finances across multiple institutions. Now I'm left with having to manually login to every single app / website for each of my financial institutions and credit cards, with absolutely zero way to see a collective overview of my finances in one location. IN THE YEAR 2024, no less. Can you tell I don't like this? 🤣

[gilded quest]

because you asked 1 too many questions

[gilded quest]

I only learned of Mint after it was shut down
I log everything manually with YNAB

[fair estuary]

vinted. was just scrolling looking through at random stuff and seen that and had too get it for that price

[flat pivot]

frfr, btw do you know when next ltt vid?

[fair estuary]

https://www.netgear.com/uk/business/wired/switches/unmanaged/gs108pp/

[gilded quest]

between now and next WAN show

[full fossil]

Oh swear, I had no idea. Although tbf they would have to consider the security implications of letting a third party handle that stuff.

[fossil frost]

either genuine seller, or liberated from an office that doesnt need it

[lilac bear]

it sells an obscene amount of copies

https://tenor.com/view/elon-musk-elon-thinking-long-thinking-loop-think-musk-gif-7263305392554161956

[alpine gale]

If you snagged that for £20, that's a pretty sick deal compared to MSRP. Though yes, being a "brand name" switch will usually make it slightly more expensive than buying a lesser known / off-brand switch. I'm with @fossil frost here - likely surplus stock / leftover equipment from a business that was decommissioning a bunch of old no-longer-used hardware. We do this all the time at work, though our stuff ends up in recycling.

[sharp leaf]

Can I post a tv vs monitor discussion on subreddit

[lilac bear]

idk can you

[balmy tiger]

Even with if it is stolen there is nothing to do it's just a switch

[alpine gale]

Uncertain. You would need a reddit account to post on reddit, and then you'd need to ensure your reddit post follows the rules of whatever subreddit you wish to post it on. Tis a question for reddit, not Discord people.

[fair estuary]

Bleep bloop (no I'm not gonna cable manage, I'm moving in a month or 2. It can wait)

[lilac bear]

idk can you wait

[sudden gazelle]

Anyone else despise “fun” TLDs

I flippin hate them

[graceful burrow]

Don't look at the link in my bio then

[sudden gazelle]

Some are alright

But why do some companies have their own like .google

[graceful burrow]

Why do you care

What's the actual issue lol

[sudden gazelle]

Confuses me

[fossil frost]

because they are large enough that they are able to pay to run them, and can justify having them, so... why not

they were not given away for free, and its not "just anyone" who can run them.. it costs a LOT of money to run your own TLD

it costs a LOT of money just to ask if you are allowed to run one

[sudden gazelle]

I guess yeah, but google haven’t use theirs very well

It’s all redirects

[graceful burrow]

They use theirs exactly how they want to lol

[obsidian oracle]

what am i looking at

[fossil frost]

they use it quite extensively, just not on things you see

[graceful burrow]

A network switch sitting on a nas?

[sudden gazelle]

Ah alright well I’ll have a look

[fossil frost]

no... a NAS sitting UNDER a network switch

[obsidian oracle]

sounds nerdy, cool

[graceful burrow]

Sounds as basic as it gets kek

[obsidian oracle]

but i dont like two heat generating parts to sit on top of eachother

[graceful burrow]

[obsidian oracle]

he should print a feet for both of them to breathe

[sudden gazelle]

You must love server racks then

[fossil frost]

the rats that live outside under the decking generate more heat than that network switch

[obsidian oracle]

i sure as hell do

[graceful burrow]

Yeah the two things that realistically produce absurdly very little heat shouldn't be touching

[obsidian oracle]

its just a thing im obsessed with, not neccessarily about the heat mass

[nimble elbow]

https://tenor.com/view/ymca-trump-dance-gif-16461412929891744742

[obsidian oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-house-md-gif-18372227

[nimble elbow]

Put a fan there.

[fossil frost]

then you are concentrating on irrelevant things

[obsidian oracle]

true

[sudden gazelle]

I thought netgear consumer switches had feet

[obsidian oracle]

but whats even relevant if theres no 3d printer to make a feet

[sudden gazelle]

But it is second hand

[fossil frost]

some do, some dont

mine for instance, does not, and is nailed to the side of my desk

[obsidian oracle]

god damn

[sudden gazelle]

I think most prosafe ones don’t since they’re mainly for rack environments

I don’t know much about those ones tho

[fossil frost]

consumer ones generally have those lightbulb shaped holes on the bottom, for mounting on a wall, or in my case, the desk

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah mine have those

Most power bars as well

[fossil frost]

power bar is sat next to the switch, nailed to the same desk 😄

[sudden gazelle]

Most mountable electronics in general xD

[fossil frost]

two raspberry pi 3's are nailed to the side of the desk too, but are not plugged in, because their usefulness expired

gonna repurpose them at some point

[sudden gazelle]

What did you use them for?

DNS for one I’m guessing

[fossil frost]

one was an emulation box, until i realised that playing all my old favourite games, ruins their memory for me. other was for prototyping config stuff for my main NAS, before i rolled changes to that... but now the main nas runs unraid, which the pi wont run

[sudden gazelle]

I’m thinking of making an unraid nas

Is it good value, I’m planning on running plex, and some other stuff like synchronisation from other servers

Only got 5 drives or so

[fossil frost]

i always rolled my own server, always managed everything myself, always did all the config myself... then i paid for unraid and let them do it... and im never going to bother even trying to roll my own nas or home server again

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah it’s a pain

[fossil frost]

5 drives is the cheapest cheapo licence, you can pay for a slightly more expensive licence and get as many drives as you want

ive found unraid very much worth the money for my usage

i run a NAS, and i run some game servers in docker containers for my kids

[sudden gazelle]

It sounds ridiculous but my pi 3 is on my switch, but runs on wifi, don’t have a spare ethernet cable.
It’s used for a web server but cloudflare caches everything so it’s not a big deal

[fossil frost]

and tbh, my wife uses the NAS more than i do these days... i ripped all of our DVDs and blurays to the NAS, and shes decided shes going to work her way through them all 😄

[sudden gazelle]

Might get the starter license then upgrade if I need more drives

Yeah I mostly archive stuff

[fossil frost]

im trying to get myself away from streaming, and back to having a copy of what i bought, at my house, so that its less likely that someone else can decide im not allowed to listen/watch that any more

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah, I hate rewatching a show only for netflix to remove it

[nimble elbow]

W for Wingen

WOOOOOOOOHHHH

[fossil frost]

so ive recently ripped all my music to the NAS from all the CDs i had hidden in the attic.. .and bought all the albums in missing, from musicmagpie on ebay, and ripped those... ripped all the dvds and blurays i have too

[sudden gazelle]

Is there a plex equivalent for just music?

[nimble elbow]

Yes

[sudden gazelle]

Well I knew there must be but what’s the best one?

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[fossil frost]

no idea, i use nextcloud on my nas, and on my phone, so i can access my NAS from my phone anywhere i want 🙂 and stream anything from the NAS to where ever i am

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah I’d probably do something similar

[graceful burrow]

I need to set up a home VPN so I can use jellyfin wherever

[sudden gazelle]

You could tunnel it

But it took 5 hours to set it up lmao

[graceful burrow]

Tried setting wire guard up but couldn't get it

[sudden gazelle]

Maybe it’s just me

[nimble elbow]

ProtonVPN does most of the things done

[sudden gazelle]

Different type of vpn

[graceful burrow]

That's super not the kind of VPN I'm talking about kek

[fossil frost]

nextCloud setup was about 30 minutes, its internet visible, but you just set up strong passwords, or, do what i did, and do certificate based auth

[nimble elbow]

Rofl

[fossil frost]

wireguard is a pain in the arse to set up, but once you get it set up, it generally "just works"

since setting up nextCloud though, never found myself needing to use wireguard or openvpn or anything like that, not been any need for it

[sudden gazelle]

I’ve heard some people have some travel routers that auto tunnel to your home vpn for all devices

[patent violet]

I got one that does that

[graceful burrow]

I'll try nextcloud

[nimble elbow]

Yes

[patent violet]

I have wireguard on everything though

I use netbird because its fire and forget to setup

[nimble elbow]

[sudden gazelle]

Why doesn’t windows support different VPN clients natively

Literally 2 main ones

I really don’t like my network adapters filled up with bloated crap

[nimble elbow]

Use linux 🤷‍♂️

Much better than Windows, you know it, I know it.

But it's all good, doesnt take too much time to set up things on Windows

[sudden gazelle]

I already have 10 ish virtual network ones

[kindred hemlock]

3080 for $439 vs 7800xt for 489 (I HAVE A 7500F)

[patent violet]

Its actually on the roadmap

[nimble elbow]

1# Debiam

#827 Windows

Science says its true

[graceful burrow]

Anyway

[patent violet]

they have folders setup in the docs for "Wireguard" but there is nothing in them.

so its coming

I literally code windows platform apps, and use mostly windows only apps.
I love debian, and use it often for servers and old hardware, but not as my daily driver.

[sudden gazelle]

Go to r/windowssucks

[graceful burrow]

Don't bother, they're just shitposting because they don't actually know anything about the active convo

[nimble elbow]

Last time I used reddit was 3 years ago

[patent violet]

mfw I use PowerShell on Linux

[nimble elbow]

Never going back

[sudden gazelle]

I’d rather not use an unstable OS for a daily driver

[obsidian oracle]

why, accidentally opened up a 50/50 post?

[sudden gazelle]

Probably

[nimble elbow]

I have this thing installed for 7 years by now, windows takes me every half a year

[sudden gazelle]

What debian?

[nimble elbow]

Yeah

[sudden gazelle]

What are the main apps you use

[kindred hemlock]

3080 for $439 vs 7800xt for 489 (I HAVE A 7500F)

[nimble elbow]

On my laptop i only go with Vivaldi

Web development doesnt take that much

[sudden gazelle]

#1106613567966429224 will help

Webdev Ill use WSL or a VM

[nimble elbow]

Best browser. Very well known

[sudden gazelle]

For some reason firefox is slower than chromium on my old craptop

[nimble elbow]

Noticed the same, but found out that this thing is really power-user focused

Its not a regular copy of Chromium

Definitely a must try brother

[sudden gazelle]

I don’t main Linux

[obsidian oracle]

check reviews with that gpu of the games you play, we cant decide which gpu is best for you if the difference is small

[sudden gazelle]

Mainly WSL or just server stuff running bare html or python

[nimble elbow]

Its the same on Windows

[sudden gazelle]

I tried to install vmware yesterday on debian

Didnt work

[nimble elbow]

I use virtualBox for it

[obsidian oracle]

isnt it also the more problematic browser that is based on chromium?

[sudden gazelle]

Tried virtualbox, crashed halfway in installation

[nimble elbow]

Best VM machine

[sudden gazelle]

Virtualbox is by far the slowest

[nimble elbow]

It works better than chrome, firefox, brave and opera

[obsidian oracle]

i meant having more problems, not performing better

i heard 2klik talk about it and he says he has lots of problems with it

[nimble elbow]

You must try it brother, has a shitton of features you dont see on Opera

[obsidian oracle]

what feature do you use the most?

[nimble elbow]

3 tabs in one window

[obsidian oracle]

oh nice

whats the one you like the most?

[nimble elbow]

The bottom bar where everything you need is there.

Time, window scaller + minuscule things that makes the things so nice to use

Cant remember those

You just click click and works

[obsidian oracle]

sounds like the bar on top but on bottom instead lol

[near thunder]

their videos are on automatic schedule anyway, so i wouldn't say its necessarily matters

[graceful burrow]

You're entitled to your belief on the matter

[obsidian oracle]

what a nerd!

[chrome olive]

Would you guys say a used RX 6800 XT for ~$500 AUD is a good deal?

Upgrading from a GTX 1080.

[lilac bear]

I would say GTX 1080 is really strong

but after a google search, RX 6800 XT does perform better for modern gaming

[calm swan]

why not use qemu

you can passthrough gpu as well if you have one around

[open acorn]

hey someone has a recommendation for a digital note app on Windows 11 where you also can color code your notes?

[graceful burrow]

Obsidian has a community plug-in for coloring but it's quite finicky

[hot tartan]

I really need to start using Obsidian again, it is such a good platform for notes

[harsh quartz]

Yeah I really wish they’d come out with outer worlds 2 already tho

[graceful burrow]

I use it and have a github plugin sync my notes to a private repository so I can keep my notes sync'd between pc and phone

Fuck paying for obsidian sync

[hot tartan]

I need to set that up too

Only issue I really have is iPad support isn’t the greatest

[harsh quartz]

Common apple L

[open acorn]

hmm looks kinda bit overkill for my usecase

its mostly when i get supervisor feedback i write down my notes. or on a personal projects my to dos

[harsh quartz]

Could use MS paint

[graceful burrow]

Notion?

[open acorn]

and then color code what i am working on what is left to do and what is adressed

[graceful burrow]

Personally don't trust em but it might work for you

Idk if they have color coding

[harsh quartz]

Ms word ?

[graceful burrow]

Google docs

Gotta say OneNote is probably M$'s best work in terms of Office

[hot tartan]

All of the office suite sucks

[graceful burrow]

I found one note to be a laggy POS last time my job forced me to use it

I eventually stopped and just started using regular ass notepad since it ran so much cleaner

[open acorn]

oh yea One Note seems to do the job

[deep solstice]

Eh I use it at work and find it decent. It's also already on most computers which is a plus

[hot tartan]

I mean it’s ok, I use it too. But I feel like the office suite just has so many issues. I only like Excel

[deep solstice]

I think the one solid offering they have is OneNote since they give it away for free and it works well

[lilac bear]

Google Docs on top

Excel is so bad

[deep solstice]

Excel has a lot more advanced features than Sheets

In the workplace Sheets is unfortunately just not a drop-in replacement

For personal use though for sure

[open acorn]

excel can do ray tracing

[patent fjord]

Hey guys, I’m new here

[long briar]

Powerpoint is great

[twilit yoke]

Hello there guys, i'm having an issue i would like to ask about, i got a 4060
i have 3 monitors, each is diffrente size (i know that's not optimal), everytime i start a game like god of war ragnrok or forza horizon 5, one of the monitors starts disconnecting from the GPU like someone pulled the hdmi cable from it, and reconnects again, and just keeps going, any idea what is going on?

[open acorn]

hi New here

[patent fjord]

Nice, where are you from?

[graceful burrow]

Nice try fed

[wispy marsh]

Does it happen to borderless or fullscreen apps?

[twilit yoke]

no matter what mode i put the game in, it keeps happening

[slender whale]

the user @timid violet sent me a DM that contianted my real name and address. how do I go about reporting this? should I go to police or are mods in here enough? or are DMs not punsihable in here? WE only share this server

[wispy marsh]

Do you have nvidia surround enabled?

[graceful burrow]

Gotta call the <@&750150305383186585>s for this'n

[twilit yoke]

i don't belive so, where can i find that?

[graceful burrow]

Nvidia control panel iirc

[wispy marsh]

Novideo control panel, yes

[wispy marsh]

Your name is no longer blue

[slender whale]

Thank you. I am scared but I am hoping its just a bad troll

[graceful burrow]

My name hasn't been blue for YEARS

[alpine gale]

https://discord.com/safety/360044103651-reporting-abusive-behavior-to-discord

[twilit yoke]

i just checked it is not

[graceful burrow]

I did leave the server for a bit but really I haven't had floatplane for a hot minute

[slender whale]

wow I just blocked them and then 2 seconds later I got a DM from a new account. I guess im being stalked and they only know im in this sevrer so they join with alts so they can message me

[wispy marsh]

Try DDU in safe mode and then install clean drivers

[wispy marsh]

The fastest thing you can do is shut off all DMs

[twilit yoke]

already did that before, the issue just happened again and i don't even have a game launched, can it be a faulty gpu?

[wispy marsh]

It might be a bit of a far fetch, but i once saw that Multiplane Overlay might cause similar symptoms, perhaps you could google how to disable it?

[twilit yoke]

thanks u for ur time

[lilac bear]

crazy looking into chat with two people DDOSing

[graceful burrow]

Nicaragua

[patent fjord]

Cool

[slender whale]

If I could do it per server. I help in alot of servers where people cold DM you for help and I dont mind helping via DM. it would cut off so many people I help daily. just due to one harasser

[wispy marsh]

I do that to everybody

I had once been scammed of usd2k++ by someone i thought was a friend

[timid violet]

I mean not that people care, but this guy is literally making things up out of anger.

[wispy marsh]

That made me have trust issues ever since

[lilac bear]

I never expect any of it back

[graceful burrow]

Don't worry
I don't care either way

[fair estuary]

🤌 got it hooked up to the nas and pi now and got them all working. Nas took a big of work cause I ehm set a static ip ages ago and forgot what it was but someone helped me figure out how to fix it all 😊.

[graceful burrow]

What's the pi doing

[fair estuary]

nothing as of yet. but gonna get something running on it. not sure if discord bot or something else. the nas is "gettting 100% legal films"

[plain wing]

Bots

[harsh quartz]

What da dog doin

[lilac bear]

Twitter has been so bad with AI "hey I want to sell you something" messages the past year

but one of my favorite times

is whenever you mentioned "shirt" like 5+ bots will reply

and all of them would have the tweet ready to be printed on a shirt

[gritty ibex]

Hi (:

Newbie here

[graceful burrow]

Welcome to the clown house

[harsh quartz]

Home of the good burger

[alpine gale]

I could go for a good burger right now. Double cheese, extra bacon, lettuce, tomato. Mmm good.

[harsh quartz]

Freddie’s :)

Although not a good time for tomato’s, everything else would be good

[graceful burrow]

I should eat something

[harsh quartz]

Mashed taters

[alpine gale]

With gravy, turkey / ham, and cooked veggies? Yes please.

[gilded quest]

If a tomato isn't too wet and you're eating the sandwich immediately, I'm all for tomato

[harsh quartz]

A good tomato is fine, but a bad tomato can ruin the sandwich. And I just don’t wanna take that risk :p

[gilded quest]

I really only add tomato if I'm cooking at home

Only way to be sure it doesn't ruin the bun

[harsh quartz]

I’ll agree with this

[lilac bear]

true

Yup

Def a bot

[quiet moth]

Oh boy, this is driving me crazy
So I was in one of the most popular keyboard servers, because I'm in that hobby now.
So I talk and whatever and we get into a discussion about keycaps, and I was trying to say that spending like 300 on plastic keycaps is a rip off
Polite conversation and I move on
Come back after school and I'm now banned
I ask in their reddit and a mod says:
Antagonizing other users, which isn't correct at all
And "spreading misinformation"
Since I was disagreeing with someone, that is misinformation
What THE FU**
the other thing that's a massive fu** you? I previously apologized to this mod for accidently starting a war in the chat
The SAME ONE

[slender whale]

hey bro some people spend $8000 on vintage plastic toys from the 80's, not everyone thinks something is a rip off

[chrome olive]

Yeahh my 1080's showing its age for sure. Plus I'm looking at Hackintoshing since I work with Xcode, so this'd be the best of both worlds (supported GPU, and one I can actually game on)

[quiet moth]

I can see reason for that
Not with keycaps lol

[chrome olive]

300 for keycaps holy- 💀

wHaT a StEaL!

[full fossil]

I spent 1300 on a mobile phone

[slender whale]

Why can't you see it. It may mean you are poor. I am not rich but I know people who spend $300 a week on bottled water to drinkk

[full fossil]

Its hobby but that mod reaction is too much.

[thin comet]

hi

[full fossil]

You can’t spread misinformation when rare keycaps can go like a thousand bucks

Just like novelkeys shit

[split swift]

i want ceramic keycaps

[undone mountain]

Yoo guys letts gooo i got my student permit im one step away to finally doing what I've been dreaming for Drink n Drive

[manic torrent]

"I don't understand the costs of small batch high quality items"

[undone mountain]

300 bucks for key caps i mean you be you its your own money but still 300 bucks thats like a few sticks of good ram a mobo and a good bunch of apparels clothes keyboard mouse etc on the side

[chrome olive]

Hey, welcome!

[slender whale]

$300 thats some gold or stocks to make $$$$

[manic torrent]

Not everyone has the same priorities, nor the same amount of overall budget

[chrome olive]

Don't wanna get into an argument but can you not get a good set for like 30 bucks

[manic torrent]

You absolutely can, 100%

[split swift]

I spent around 20 for mine

[acoustic coral]

$7 years ago today

[split swift]

so yeah

[undone mountain]

True cause if it were me id use that 300 bucks to buy beer n chips

[manic torrent]

being able to buy something cheaply, doesn't mean that something bespoke and expensive is a "ripoff"

[alpine gale]

You absolutely can. I have a set of Razer PBT Doubleshot caps on my G710+ keyboard. Are they amazing? No. Are they worth the $39 CAD I paid over the worn out stock caps? Yes. Was I able to buy an entire flat of Pumpkin craft beer with the savings I achieve by not buying an expensive set of caps? YOU BET. 🍻

[split swift]

this is the ones i got
https://a.co/d/jlqGmGo

[chrome olive]

See I'd get into this hobby but

I wasted my money last year on some $400AU non-hot-swappable logitech keyboard 🫠

[split swift]

bruh

[chrome olive]

yes ik i regret it too

[manic torrent]

I bought this keyboard for $80, then I spent $180 on switches and stuff for it 😄

[split swift]

It sounds much better irl

[split swift]

Mine was a total of like 80 bucks too

[chrome olive]

I'm into the really clicky switches lol

like mine's the G915 clicky

[split swift]

Gross

Clickys suck, its awful to listen to

[chrome olive]

Rip (no gifs here 🫠)

[chrome olive]

I like the sound

[split swift]

I pefer poppy and thock

[chrome olive]

Eh fair

idk they don't feel good to me personally

[split swift]

Wdym feel

Im talking about sound lol

[chrome olive]

Ah I mean the tactile feel when you're pushing them down

anything besides clicky feels off to me lol

Also yeah clearly lots of ppl hate the sound but I really like it

[split swift]

its not tactile

its linear

[chrome olive]

I used the wrong word (I really don't know what I'm talking about 🫠)

Like pushing a key down, it feels better on clicky than anything else for me

[split swift]

have you tried quality linears and tactiles?

[chrome olive]

Honestly the only ones I've properly tried are the G915 ones

they had the linear, tactile, and clicky versions out in store when I was getting mine

[split swift]

those switches are meh

i have a g915 with clickys and iv tried the other 2 versions too and they kinda suck after I used a nicer keyboard

its not noticeable until you try a better keyboard

[plain wing]

I love good keyboards ngtl

They make me love typing

[split swift]

same lmao

and the thing is, you will never understand until you get your first good keyboard

[plain wing]

Right now I am remote hosting into my main pc from a shitty laptop at 720p

720p 6950xt testing ig

[split swift]

i cry

[plain wing]

what if it was over ethernet

I just wanna lay down and not use a shitty laptop

I have kenshi downloaded for when i cant remote acess

[bleak crow]

if you are considering it: do not get a z flip 6

I am a longtime user, from the 3 on

I preordered a flip 6 at launch and the hinge failed in about a month, I bought a replacement, and it failed today, after about a month and a half

I am extremely careful with my phones, and neither of them have been dropped

samsung has done something horrible with their phone design this time

very frustrating

[unborn sluice]

i would contact samsung on that tbh

and they should replace it

[bleak crow]

I did, I have Samsung Care +, it's being replaced for $100

The problem seems to be the phone itself

[unborn sluice]

they shouldnt charge you anything

[bleak crow]

something they've done with the hinge design this year

[unborn sluice]

i dont have a folding phone of any sort but they are nice

[bleak crow]

i enjoyed my flip 3 4 and 5

[unborn sluice]

honestly i would get a fold instead of a flip

[bleak crow]

2 grand vs 1 is a big difference for me lol

[unborn sluice]

i like the ability to have a "tablet when i need it

[bleak crow]

I EDC my laptop, iPad Pro, and Flip

[red girder]

I am being mandated by the server to say hi! so hi everyone!

[unborn sluice]

which pro?

[bleak crow]

hello dankmus

[unborn sluice]

welcome

[bleak crow]

12.9 last gen, with 2 cameras

[unborn sluice]

nice

[bleak crow]

6th gen

[unborn sluice]

i just recently got a 6th gen mini

[bleak crow]

Nice

[red girder]

its about time i actually joined here, got my first brand new laptop and im just messing around seeing what it can do and pushing its limits

[unborn sluice]

and then 3 or so weeks after i got it the 7th gen drops

such crappy timing

[bleak crow]

I bought a 2080 Ti right before the 30 series dropped

but then you couldn't buy a 30 series for a year lmao

so I felt ok about it

[unborn sluice]

though besides the processor there isnt many differences between the 6th and 7th gen mini

[bleak crow]

I just dont know what they did to screw up so bad this time

incredibly annoying

[unborn sluice]

i hear the new mac mini is really good

[bleak crow]

yeah, they talked about it on WAN a fair bit

[civic cairn]

All of the Apple Silicon devices have been solid devices, that Mini however is really a interesting piece of Kit. If I didn't have a m3 sitting here I might be tempted to go get one.

[unborn sluice]

tbh im not a huge fan of their computers or laptops because im a PC gamer

[civic cairn]

Oh yea, if you are just using your computer for gaming don't bother.

[long briar]

I just wouldn't get a folding phone at all. It's not worth it

well, the candybar to square folds I understand, they're also great for women that don't have pockets (ask me how I know)

but the phones that fold open to become a square display

it doesn't make sense to me

[bleak crow]

the flip is candybar

i like it for its portability and photography stuff

i'm a 4 year user tho lol

[long briar]

I meant square to candybar

[unborn sluice]

i wonder how long it will take apple to make a folding phone LOL

[long briar]

I like the Z Flip, I had the Z fold

[civic cairn]

The couple of people that I know who have them use them instead of having a laptop, wouldn't work for me but for what they do it's apparently enough and they don't have to have a laptop or tablet and then a cellphone as well.

[bleak crow]

I like the Z flip

[long briar]

I don't think they will

[unborn sluice]

you never know

[long briar]

I do know.

[unborn sluice]

no

[long briar]

yes.

Why don't macbooks have touchscreens?

Why don't iPads the same compatibility as Macbooks?

[unborn sluice]

to save money

[unborn sluice]

on that they almost do

[long briar]

exactly. Almost.

They will never jeapordize their own sales

someone wanting a big touchscreen from Apple? You have the iPad.

[lilac bear]

even though people pitch Apple as this evil corporation
they could easily just sell iPhone Fold and make it so AppleCare doesn't apply to them
so if they break, SOL

[long briar]

Need portable compute performance and battery life? macbook.

if they make an iPhone fold

[unborn sluice]

pair a keyboard with it and you have a laptop LOL

[long briar]

but you don't

[lilac bear]

plus Apple usually waits until the tech is reliable enough

[long briar]

you don't get the same app support or suite

[civic cairn]

They wouldn't do that, the amount of bad press and damage to their brand wouldn't be worth it to them.

[long briar]

They developed LTPO OLED and were one of the first to use miniled backlit screens

[lilac bear]

they made LTPO? damnnn

[long briar]

if they made an iPhone fold, they'd kill the iPad mini

[lilac bear]

Samsung fans crying

[long briar]

yea that's something nobody credits them with

Apple developed LTPO and outsourced for Samsung to manufacture

[slender whale]

yeah im putting a remote in my butt like that old rage vid

[long briar]

not just Samsung, actually. BOE, LG I believe, and a few others also do

[lilac bear]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-gif-21258268

BOE?

[long briar]

BOE makes panels for brands like Google and Oneplus

I also think they made it for the iPhone 15?

Oneplus is crazy though

Oneplus 13's panel has refresh rate zones

one part of the screen can refresh faster than others

basically BOE is the real deal

[lilac bear]

ayooo

I had no clue OnePlus did anything aside from dual cell battery

which lets it reach the 80W speeds

[long briar]

they've been on top of their game lately tbh

my oneplus watch 2r

is actually great.

[unborn sluice]

im wanting to get an apple watch series 10

[long briar]

2+ days with AOD which is fantastic given it's a wearos watch, I can do 4+ days with AOD off, and 10 days with battery saver

[lilac bear]

people freak out over the 80W charging but it is really 40W times 2
which degrades the battery less in theory opposed to the Samsung Ultra 45W charging single cell

[night linden]

So my fellow Americans how we enjoying the verizon outage

[long briar]

The way they did it is crazy, they have two OS and two chips running at the same time

[lilac bear]

what da hell

[night linden]

3 whole states with no internet 💀

[lilac bear]

Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan? jk

[lilac bear]

but how degrading is the experience on battery saver?

I know watch users don't like that stuff

[long briar]

no AOD, but you can still receive notifications, set alarms, track exercise, and use raise to wake

it basically just becomes one of those fitness trackers from like xiaomi but without AOD

you also still get GPS and all that good stuff

AOD is a requirement for a watch for me if I'm using a smartwatch

[lilac bear]

I see

but cool you can even use notifications

and GPS

for 10 days

[sour wraith]

A friend one state about 30 miles away has working internet from Verizon

I do not

[lilac bear]

Verizon moment

[night linden]

Not fair

[night linden]

It’s why I got 8.8.8.8 -t goin

[graceful burrow]

Remember when all of facebook was broken?

For like 14 hours

[quiet moth]

You do realize it costs them basically nothing to make keycaps
Heck, if they sold them for $10 they'd make a profit

[north axle]

I haven’t been on fb since I deleted it back in 14 I wasn’t aware of any outage lol

[graceful burrow]

Surprising since nobody would shut the hell up about it

[manic torrent]

who is "them", and all keycaps are the same? made by the same people? same process? same art? same material?

[north axle]

I’m oblivious to anything outside of discord and yt

[alpine gale]

You mean to tell me BGP broke for a multi-national multi-billion user service during a rule deployment due to a lack of solid test procedures? 🤣 (Okay okay, it's not that simple - it's never that simple. But also... sigh)

So they are trying to standarize on this essentially.

[graceful burrow]

The funnest part is because Facebook has tons of trackers on every website, since none of them could report to Facebook, it slowed down the entire internet for everyone

[patent violet]

[north axle]

That’s hilarious

[graceful burrow]

It sucks

If Facebook ever shuts down all those trackers still try to report

They'll never all go away

[quiet moth]

Them, as in the people who make keycaps
Yes, they are different materials, but its the same
Even if it was perfect everything they cost almost nothing

[north axle]

So interesting new problems I never knew I would have. My smart tv can’t talk to the internet so it can’t even get to its landing page for me to pull up Plex.

[graceful burrow]

The internet is crippled

[patent violet]

Well at the time they were implemented in a way that would load them on the same thread as the main page

so thats why they slowed down. Now they load on their own job

thats one way to kill DNS Adblock lol

[north axle]

Like i was just gonna Plex and chill but I can’t do that lol

[manic torrent]

oh "the people who make keycaps". Is there like... a list? do they have a club?

[quiet moth]

What are you trying to imply lol
Them, as in all of the companies that produce them

[lilac bear]

erm all of them are clearly made of plastic

[patent violet]

ABS, PBT

There is also wood and aluminium

[quiet moth]

Aluminum has some justification for its price

[manic torrent]

"plastic" is not one material.

uhm yes, plastic

Verizon

[ripe creek]

Hi

[blazing beacon]

i have a feeling this question will start a war but whats better would yall say sleep mode or power off

for clarifying for a normal gaming PC not a server or something else

[red girder]

sleep mode is fine

there is no real reason a pc should be shut off over and over, the thermal cycles infact often cause more wear sooner

[smoky badge]

lol

[red girder]

and besides a system will normally restart on its own during inactive hours to perform system updates and such which does powercycle the system

take my system for instance, it has been runing for 19 days straight since the last power cycle due to an update and it runs perfectly fine

and still runs as fast as it was day one, for a year old laptop its done fine

[mossy compass]

Power off
Simply for the sake of cutting power off completely

But a laptop, yes - sleep mode all the way
Or well, "close the lid" and let Windows deal with it

[red girder]

exactly but if its a desktop no harm in just pressing the power button outside of waiting a few seconds to boot up

[mossy compass]

(not the best idea at times [especially when you end up waking it up with 24% less battery {Modern Standby my beloved <3}] but good enough)

[red girder]

i just keep it on the charger overnight

plus leaving it running does give peice in mind that the battery is kept in check via software

[mossy compass]

The battery is always kept in check via software

The EC and BMI is always active, even when the computer is powered off

[red girder]

looks at hp with disgust why do you continue to fail me

[mossy compass]

Or well, the parts of the EC that manage charging

[red girder]

knew something was off

[mossy compass]

...ah, HP moment

[red girder]

but yeah in all serious laptop close the lid and you're fine, if desktop press the power button and you're fine, modern power management systems are leagues better than things even 10 years ago

[red girder]

not even a full year old yet and my hinges sound like they need WD40

[mossy compass]

Whaaat

[red girder]

yup

[mossy compass]

How the hell do all the biggest laptop OEMs fail their hinge design

Lenovo, and HP too

People told me I'm crazy for buying an MSI laptop due to said hinge issues

[red girder]

take a look in tech chat 1

[mossy compass]

But I'm looking at it and of the three I went through (HP 14, Lenovo IdeaPad and MSI Modern), it's the only one that has two extrenal screws next to each hinge

[blazing beacon]

its a desktop

[grim belfry]

Because people think making cheap, slim and reliable hinges is easy

[lilac bear]

infinite support ticket generator

[red girder]

i mean screwing them into the baseplate would be a start

like the hinge mechanism is designed very nicely for instance on my laptop, but instead of just screwing the hinge down they just glue it onto the baseplat

[mossy compass]

Well, how was this MSI with good hinges cheaper than the IdeaPad with shitty hinges then?

[red girder]

all comes down to thin glue

because saving 0.08 cents per screw for a hinge mount is a much better idea

[ember pecan]

Anyone heard of mutilate a doll 2

[heady orchid]

Can I use a non ATX 3.0 PSU to power a 40 series card ?

I heard that 40 series card requires a 3.0 PSU

[raven grove]

Yeah

The cards have adapters if they need them

[fossil frost]

ATX 3.0 is recommended. but any PSU that is powerful enough to run the card, and has enough PCI-E connectors to connect to the adapters, will work fine

dont use a splitter to then connect up to the adapter, that will lead to bad times

[heady orchid]

im helping a friend diagnosing his problems

he upgraded this GPU to a 40 series with a 850w corsair RM850x

his old card worked fine

this card wouldnt boot

i have a few suspicions but he said he brought the PC to G(oon)eeksquad and they said he has a PSU problem

so either geeksquad stole the 40 series adapter or he some how misplaced it.

[raven grove]

Now not all 40 series have an adapter. Which card is it?

[fossil frost]

so, back in the PS1 and PS2 days, there were games that let you create music, came with 100s or 1000s or premade samples of all different types of instruments, and let you piece them together to make your own music... anyone remember what they were called? and if there are modern versions of the same things that are just as accessible for kids?

[smoky badge]

MTV Music Generator?

[fossil frost]

thats one of them yeah, ty 🙂

my 9yo takes drum lessons, he enjoys them, and im trying to find something that will let him record his electric drum set, but also piece other instruments over the top too, but in a way that is doable by a 9yo 😄

[smoky badge]

Not sure if there’s modern versions tho

[gray zephyr]

I want to change my case for a smaller size , i do have an asus tuf gt501 , i want Corsair 4000d airflow
Replacing it with my 6 noctua fans , is it going to perform better

[grim belfry]

Garageband? (The iOS/iPadOS version, not the macOS version)

[fossil frost]

impossible to say without knowing if your current system is choked for air

[fossil frost]

its the closest i can find, but we have no macos or ios based devices, and apple being apple, only release it for apple

[grim belfry]

The macOS version would probably be a little much to figure out anyway

Might be worth getting a $50 iPad off Facebook Marketplace or something?

[fossil frost]

i would ask in the audio/music/bands subreddits... but... im sure that i would just get blasted for not forcing a 9yo to learn how to use the most expensive professional tools from the start

[grim belfry]

Lmao

[fossil frost]

theres a 1st gen ipad air in cash converters for £40 right now... was considering it

[grim belfry]

It was only EoL last year, pretty impressive

theres an ipad 2nd gen for £15 😄 or a 3rd gen for £16... those older ones have NOT held value at all now

Hi! 👋

[livid cloud]

hi

[neat cradle]

Hello!

[steady prawn]

Halooo!

[pliant glade]

so lads i've been looking at our tech department's apprentices that joined the company this year and they're handling all those devices private customers bring in... and it made me wonder whether it would be possible to create the ultimate troubleshooting flowchart every single person on earth could follow and fix their things themselves...

[raven grotto]

prolly exists

[steady prawn]

ok ok ok ok hear me out... What if... Hear me out... We make it interactive ?!

[pliant glade]

well i considered that a given, since it'd be way too large to be rendered or printed anywhere in one piece

[raven grotto]

you probably would be looking at it on a computer instead of being printed out

[pliant glade]

yeah and it wouldn't be a simple flowchart either, i'd say in a lot of cases it would ask you confirm a list of things at a single point

[steady prawn]

Just a site on your phone

[raven grotto]

this sounds like a great app

[steady prawn]

you go on checking off items and selecting the paths

and maybe that leads you to the solution?

[raven grotto]

I'd pay for it

[steady prawn]

adds to long list of amazing app ideas I never built

[raven grotto]

hehe

if the community could add things to it, it could be huge

[steady prawn]

I mean, the thing is its not hard to build

[raven grotto]

I know literally nothing about app or website building

[steady prawn]

thats my expertise

I might just make it FOSS

[raven grotto]

FOSS?

[steady prawn]

Free and Open Source Software

[raven grotto]

oh yeah

if you do it then be sure to dm me

[steady prawn]

What would someone call it tho?

[raven grotto]

ITFlow

Did you IT?

[steady prawn]

ahh there's something else with that name

[steady prawn]

nah I am a student and a freelance web developer

[primal cairn]

Are the 5090 launching this year?

[raven grotto]

that means it was a good name

[wheat quarry]

any friend

s

[raven grotto]

I suggested that as a name

but cool

[steady prawn]

ohh I read it as Do you IT lmao

[raven grotto]

lol

[wheat quarry]

???????????

[steady prawn]

ITTrack?

ok nvm that shounds like monitoring software

[pliant glade]

go oldschool: Trblrshtr

[steady prawn]

ITWizrd ?

[pliant glade]

nobody likes vocals

[raven grotto]

that looks like trouble sh*ter

[steady prawn]

Shit on your troubles

[pliant glade]

i mean big brain people keep ambiguity in mind while making up product names

[raven grotto]

oh are cus words not banned? I had just guessed they were

[steady prawn]

I dont think so, I just joined lmao

I think I'll go with ITWizrd

[raven grotto]

that's a good one

[pliant glade]

i don't even know how i'd deal with the flowchart on a technical side... like... how do you store that in a database?

[wispy marsh]

Time for karaoke~

Don't leave me hanging in a city so dead, held up so high on such a breakable thread~
My god has a need to react, it's as simple as that, it's better to settle than to face the facts
We're only on the third day of a seven-day binge
Try to hold it in but it keeps bleeding out~
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do when I break your little heart in two
I'm waiting here for anyone to wash it all away
Just close your eyes, we'll hope it's not for nothing at all
Forever in debt to your priceless advice, your advice
Spreading and setting the trap, spinning the web~ oh, but she's not what I'm living for~

[raven grove]

No

[raven grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/why-just-why-but-why-monkey-gif-18202838286539704455

[wispy marsh]

What

[raven grotto]

idk it's just kinda random

[steady prawn]

I was thinking we store everything in the form of JSON on a GitHub Repository so people can contribute via Pull Requests. The app can be built using ReactJS. I dont think the initial version even needs login or users tbh

[wispy marsh]

It's song

[grim belfry]

Ewie, I much rather give Kaseya my money :p

[steady prawn]

alr I am buying itwizrd.com

[primal cairn]

How big of a difference between 5090 and 4090 would be

[pallid falcon]

i'll tell you after this segue to our sponsor

[primal cairn]

Slurpshark VPN!

[hybrid blaze]

Been thinking about getting the floatplane subscription, is it worth it?

I watch maybe 85% of the videos put out by ltt as a whole.. so maybe I should

[pallid falcon]

im subscribed and stayed subscribe because its the worst thing i ever used in my life

(sarcasm)

its good /srs

[hybrid blaze]

Oh I was about to be like so its hard to cancel the sub? lmfao but good to know thanks

[pallid falcon]

you cancel with the big red cancel button

[hybrid blaze]

Oh thats what that says? sorry I'm illiterate /s

[pliant glade]

nah i mean the data structure for the chart itself, not how

like, can you actually represent it in a classic RDBMS

[steady prawn]

I am going to figure it out... I just need to lock my ADHD brain into the project by spending a bunch so I am invested

[grim belfry]

Please don’t make fragile spaghetti PHP - there’s enough of that in the world :p

cough ITFlow cough WHMCS cough Wordpress cough

[steady prawn]

NextJS

[pliant glade]

i recently had my first exposure to mathematical graphs to figure out some silly path finding problem... i ultimately had to resort to executing a python script from my PHP backend

[pallid falcon]

oi fuck wordpress

[steady prawn]

I just want it to be sustainable tho, so I wanna use GH Pages to host the whole thing

[fossil frost]

wordpress is one of the single worst codebases i have ever had to work in

[grim belfry]

Fuck Matt Bullenweg

[steady prawn]

PHP is the biggest pain idek how people lived with it this long

[pliant glade]

it's okay now though

[fossil frost]

PHP is fine, its just that there are better things

[pallid falcon]

[pliant glade]

PHP is at least faster than silly python

[pallid falcon]

oi leave my homie python alone

[pliant glade]

no

[fossil frost]

it can be, but python can be faster than PHP too... depends what you do with it

[pallid falcon]

yes

[pliant glade]

[pallid falcon]

[pliant glade]

[fossil frost]

that is all it boils down to when people fight over programming languages.. its a silly school yard slap fight where everyone looks stupid and nobody wins

[pallid falcon]

ty

[steady prawn]

someone wanna design a logo?

[rich vault]

[pallid falcon]

for what

[fossil frost]

£300/hr contract rate

[ebon otter]

Is it true that amd won’t have a high teir gpu next gen?

[pallid falcon]

woah discord didnt show that right

[pliant glade]

i just wish those AI enthusiasts could've learned about proper dependency management before managing to make their thing work on their machine and their machine only and then proceeding to publish some unrunnable pile of crap onto github

[grim belfry]

😌

http://web.archive.org/web/20241009060219/https://bullenweg.com/

[pallid falcon]

make sure to keep the paint in it because its funny

[pliant glade]

wait, bullenweg.com is gone?

[grim belfry]

Yes he threatened legal action

Ironically, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41821837

photomatt

It actually is an excellent website, and the repo is here: https://github.com/bullenweg/bullenweg.github.io

Hacker News · Oct 12, 2024, 7:42 PM

[fossil frost]

Matt regrets making wordpress open source, its common knowledge, and hes now doing everything he can to move wordpress to as closed a business model as possible, and minimise the open-source-ness

[pallid falcon]

tell him i said (angry yips)

[pallid falcon]

god damn he's anti trans?

reported by three peoples*

[grim belfry]

Wordpress’ reliance on wp.org is exactly that

[fossil frost]

honestly, i would have just removed the world "lie" and "lies" or "bull"... and posted it as "these are things matt has said publically"... theres absolutely nothing he can do about that... he can threaten all he wants, he will get told to eat a huge bag of dry roasted ball bags

[grim belfry]

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7736

[grim belfry]

Sure, but most don’t have the resources to enter into a legal battle, especially over something relatively stupid

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt enter into the legal battle, i would pay 1 lawyer once, to send a letter telling him what he can eat... and then i would counter sue for the costs of that letter through the same lawyer, who would be only too happy to shut him up

[steady prawn]

Gotta make that money 💀

[plain wing]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/w2XBEcbtrso?feature=share

[fossil frost]

would cost me £120 for the first letter... and he would pay for it eventually 🙂

[plain wing]

:3

[fossil frost]

its pretty standard for a contract rate

[steady prawn]

Amazing stuff!

[grim belfry]

Oh well, Wordpress was past its best before date anyway :)

[steady prawn]

agreed

time to start a foundation and get people to donate so we can afford a logo 😎

gotta love an ISP that blocks GitHub 🤡

[smoky badge]

What isp?

[steady prawn]

Jio

[hearty spear]

#VPNFTW

[primal cairn]

Whatever happened to the Cooler Master NCORE 600 PRESTIGE case?

Can't find it anywhere, is it even for sale?

[pallid falcon]

whyd anyone block GH of all things lmao

[hybrid blaze]

Why github of all places

[steady prawn]

idk if its blocked or what, but it just randomly stops working and it happens to many others who also use Jio... I assume its not intentional

what is the first question one would ask when troubleshooting a machine?

The operating system?

[hybrid blaze]

what do you mean? Like if you're given a machine and asked to fix it?

I'd ask whats wrong with it, and secondly what the specs are -- and when the problem started. Should be enough to start putting the pieces together to fix it. Most issues are software issues

[steady prawn]

we are building this

https://itwizrd.com/

[solemn goblet]

It’s weird how teenagers and young adults can experience sharp chest pains

I experience this

The pain can be severe and sharp/stabbing

Taking deep breaths can get rid of it

[steady prawn]

I used to have that, I dont know how I got better but its a lot rarer now

[solemn goblet]

Yeah it’s precordial catch syndrome

Experts believe its cause of a pinched nerve

[steady prawn]

interesting...

[solemn goblet]

I have kinda grown out of it

Most people tend to grow out of it by their 20’s

[echo kindle]

hi chat

[tepid dagger]

guys is google password manager good?

[hearty spear]

not really

[tepid dagger]

if i only use android and windows

why?

[gilded quest]

It's better than writing them all down in a text document

[hearty spear]

because it uses the same authentication as windows / google accounts and those will be the two primary vectors for attack

[tepid dagger]

but i also have 2fa active for my accounts

even for the google account

[tepid dagger]

they are also encrypted

[hearty spear]

don't matter

[tepid dagger]

what do you mean then?

you mean the windows hello thing that pops?

[hearty spear]

I told you exactly what I mean:
If you're after a safe password manager, google passwords is not it

if you don't want that as the answer? It's your data, do what you want.

[tepid dagger]

what do you use

[hearty spear]

I don't use a manager because I am lazy and haven't set one up yet

[pulsar warren]

d

[smoky badge]

No

[pulsar warren]

poop

[steady prawn]

When would you be free so we can maybe discuss the idea further? Like a user flow or something would be pretty nice so maybe this can become a good community project?

I also bought a domain lol: https://itwizrd.com

[lilac bear]

[ashen hamlet]

we get it
you dont live off of canned spaghetti
good for you

[echo valley]

Guys I'm very good at multitasking irl so does that mean my Personality is a CPU rather than a GPU

[rough turret]

https://tenor.com/view/caseoh-streamer-popular-twitch-fat-gif-536871678867857267

[lilac bear]

mods, ban this guy

[plain wing]

LOL

so how does it work in your mind

what are you doing

[echo valley]

like if someone is good at something but he can't do multitask such as driving a car but can't drive well while on a call.
That means his personality is a GPU

[plain wing]

i'm glad in my 6 years of tech no one has said something like that to me

I would say youre a cpu because its miles behind a gpu

personally

[smoky badge]

[plain wing]

in terms of raw computational ability

[ashen hamlet]

this is why you have no friends in minecraft

[plain wing]

People dont like me in minecraft cause i dont let them win

mfs using every advantage in the book and i eat them

[ashen hamlet]

okay so now we're bragging about our "minecraft gaming skills"

[plain wing]

[ashen hamlet]

[plain wing]

We had our own staff try to blow up spawn with cheats

[lilac bear]
