[meager shell]

also, on my laptop, this problem never happens, so its something with my main pc...

[viscid elm]

with windows 11 and zero programs running and even real time protection off for me it just heats up so badly aka uses a bit too much power

[civic fox]

it uses at best 9w

[viscid elm]

for me it just lasts like 2-3hrs at best when watching youtube

[civic fox]

7 hours for me

[viscid elm]

and it is LOUD

[civic fox]

fan hasnt turned on once since i have used it

in fact they are off

completely

[meager shell]

only think clicking clacking and occasionly heats up for me is my 20TB HDD, that i use to run games, programs, and store virtually everything.

[viscid elm]

i might try and reinstall windows but when i did try one time it did not show the disk in the windows installer thing

[civic fox]

laptop is just slightly warm but thats about it

[viscid elm]

should upgrade the storage tho anyways since its only 256GB on a 600$ laptop

[civic fox]

had that bug before actually

[civic fox]

i paid 622 for mine and it has a 512 in it

[viscid elm]

btw it was not a i7 in mine it was a i5 1340u

[civic fox]

must be newer than mine i guess

asus vivobook S 16 flip is the laptop i got

[idle nymph]

ty bro

[viscid elm]

i found the config DELL Latitude 3540 it has a i5 1335u and a nvidia mx550 16GB of ram and 256GB of nvme ssd storeage

[civic fox]

same cpu it seems but i dont have a dgpu

just intergrated

[viscid elm]

i did disable the Dgpu

as it is pure ass

[civic fox]

i would assume so yea

[viscid elm]

i payed 600$ for it and i regret it so hard

i only got it as my school said i NEEDED it for the thing i was studying but the programs we used were word or programs that can run on computers in the 80s if they were 64bit ofc

well if the computers could do 64 bit

aka the laptop was WAY overkill for school work but just trash when it came to gaming or other tasks

[summer folio]

Mumble better though

[summer folio]

Not i5/i7 1337u

[viscid elm]

what

[summer folio]

so close to perfection

[sand pumice]

[meager shell]

why i never heard of Metaphot or Balatro

I know, "vi sitter här i Venten & spelar lite DotA" -BassHunter, probably

[meager shell]

anyway, i only will vote in the steam version...

[sand pumice]

Any clue when steam ones opens

[meager shell]

idk,
it should open either the end of this month, or the beginning of the next month...

[winged spire]

Why is there a SpaceX trebuchet

😭😭😭😭 this is how they’re getting starship to the moon

[paper crane]

what makes it spacex?

looks like a regular trebuchet to me

[winged spire]

It’s owned by SpaceX?

[long briar]

Until just last year, the fastest manmade object was a manhole cover that got blown up by a nuclear blast.

atp I wouldn't even be surprised

[winged spire]

Parker Solar probe is definitely faster now huh?

[long briar]

it was always faster because of gravity assist

if you don't count gravity and just purely speed from our own creation, then the manhole cover is still the fastest

[timid iron]

that looks like a drill

[winged spire]

It goes from Venus to the opposite side of the sun (>6,000,000 miles from the surface) in less than a month

[winged spire]

It’s a trebuchet lmao

[wintry swan]

superior thechnology obviously

[winged spire]

Smol ship

Also that tile fell off… I’m like 99% sure it was attached on Saturday

[wintry swan]

has spacex even done anything meaningfull

[winged spire]

They have done like 90% of all space missions in the past 3 years

They’re on track to do more than 150 launches this year

In the past 3 days (once starship launches in 12 hours) they have done more launches than the entirety of Europe has this year

Starship is the biggest, heaviest and highest thrust rocket ever made

2x the thrust of the Saturn V

[wintry swan]

yeah well its still idiotic to have a privatized space program

[winged spire]

Sure 😂

[wintry swan]

it is

[winged spire]

Ok 👍🏻

[wintry swan]

but it sure is impressive what they managed to do, especially with the limited funds and authority

[winged spire]

Becoming the best space agency in the world is hard work

[sly tiger]

They wouldn’t have accomplished even 10% of what they did until now if spaceX wasn’t a private company lmao

[gentle slate]

Isn't that the reason it's outpacing nasa

Afaik nasa is starved for funding

[winged spire]

Their cashflow is pretty similar actually

[winged spire]

For reference, the SLS rocket’s ground systems (pad, tank farm, etc) still haven’t been fixed after 2 years since the launch

Starship literally blew up its pad and SpaceX fixed the pad, launched the 2nd one AND installed a water duldge system in 3 months

On a launch tower and pad that’s F A R more complicated than SLS’

Don’t get me wrong, I love SLS, but it’s a shit rocket

[grim belfry]

They're incomparable

[winged spire]

I’ve personally touched the core stage of SLS 2

[winged spire]

Correct

[grim belfry]

NASA is a science agency, SpaceX is more of a transportation business

[winged spire]

NASA is cosplaying as a transport business right now when those billions of dollars SHOULD be used to make stuff that goes inside other company’s rockets

SLS is the space shuttle

They literally took the engines from the space shuttle and slapped it into a rocket

That’s why I love it lol.. it’s as close as I can get to seeing a space shuttle launch

[teal flare]

Today in linus tech tips we will play amongus using NVIDIA gpus at 1 million FPS

[wintry swan]

the esa should really kick into gears soon tho. We have to get some of our own breakthroughs again and level the playingfield

funnily enough canada is a partnermember of the esa

[summer folio]

13:37 EU! 🇪🇺

[wintry swan]

?

[dawn wedge]

?

[jaunty compass]

it took me a second to realize this wasn't a hypothetical

[winged spire]

😂

[wintry swan]

whats so funny now elonsucker?

[winged spire]

😂😂😂😂

What breakthroughs have the ESA had?

This is peak delusion and now you’re insulting me because you don’t actually know what you’re talking about

The ESA won’t be competent until the French stop cockblocking it

[wintry swan]

i have never seen someone who needs a shower more desperately then you "errrm actually you dont know what youre talking about lol🤓" get your discord nitro basement dweller ass outha here bro you could be happy if your mother even thouches you

[winged spire]

Lmao

Do you know what the word breakthrough means

Do you care to share any of ESA’s recent breakthroughs?

[wintry swan]

can you share the recent times you touched a woman?

[winged spire]

You can’t can you?

I wonder how many breakthroughs you’re referencing

[wintry swan]

the breakthrough of setting up a europan space agency and getting everyone to cooperate for the most part

[winged spire]

….

This is actually hilarious 🤣

The ESA has existed since the 70s and have proceeded to do virtually nothing

The breakthrough of filing the paperwork to make an agency called ESA… 60 years ago

They’re sure gonna catch up !!

JUICE is going to arrive 18 months after clipper despite launching more than a year before (thanks to clipper launching on the falcon heavy)

[wintry swan]

i am sure. a lot of things have changed.

[winged spire]

Such as?

[wintry swan]

? are you completely oblivious to the happenings in the world and world politics? are you in that tiny of a bubble

[winged spire]

What has changed to make the ESA catch up

Please give me specifics 🙏

[wintry swan]

a complete shift in european politics

so there is this thing called the war in ukraine and us european relationsships maybe youve heard of those things

[winged spire]

ESA is still entirely mismanaged by the main contributing government France

[wintry swan]

and i think the americans had an election with a controversial foreign policycandidate im not sure youve noticed

[winged spire]

It will NEVER even remotely be competent until major restructuing happens

Which .. it hasn’t

[wintry swan]

wich will happen

[winged spire]

Why haven’t it happened yet?

[wintry swan]

....

[winged spire]

When will it happen? Do you work for the government?

I’m sure the French will be willing to give up control over the ESA now that nicson is fighting for it

You literally said that ESA already had major breakthroughs, breakthroughs that will “level the playing field”… you can’t name one. You are literally just yapping about stuff you don’t understand

What is your source that the ESA will “kick into gears soon”

[wintry swan]

ok so the shift in european politics has mainly to do with the increased tension with russia and the inability to rely on the united states for defence and cooperation. these things combined have shifted the role of intereuropean organizations, as it became apparent that we must have the ability of self-reliance. this includes foremost massive increases in thier defence budgets, but also include changes to thier space programms

[winged spire]

You just made it up? Really

[wintry swan]

you have to wait a bit for me i had to explain it in detail to a hermit crab

[winged spire]

That’s so unexpected based on your vast knowledge

Do you know who else other than the French is a main contributor?

Can you even name me a couple ESA missions without googling them?

[wintry swan]

bro how the fuck do you excpect me to explain a change in everything really that happend in the last 2 years to a person that is autistic as fuck about rockets and doesnt know shit about anything else?

[winged spire]

I don’t think you are mentally capable of having a conversation

[wintry swan]

😂

[winged spire]

Can you name me an ESA mission?

Just 1

[wintry swan]

no i dont have autism and thats not what its about, you need to learn about the importance of not mistaking the topic of a conversation

[winged spire]

😂😂😂😂😂

[wintry swan]

nowhere did i speak of any thing the esa did in the past

only of the breakthroughs, wich in my opinion is setting up a european space programm

[winged spire]

The truth is you don’t know what you’re talking about. Your source is “European politics have changed” and you’re just incredibly stupid by all means

[winged spire]

They set it up 60 years ago

😂

[wintry swan]

cool i really dont give a shit anymore if you havent noticed

[winged spire]

😂😂😂😂😂

[turbid flower]

@wintry swan you're cooked

[wintry swan]

nah i just dont like talking to people who keep changing the topic

[winged spire]

Your only actual argument is that “European politics are the reason ESA is going to change” with literally nothing to back it up

[wintry swan]

im talking about the political implications of current events that will result in european space programms getting more priority again

[turbid flower]

To compete with?

[wintry swan]

what? i am backing it up, should i list you 200000 news articles of the past 2 years that have anything to do with increased cooperation and the word "space" and "europe" in it

[wintry swan]

the russians and the americans, more so to have less reliance on american space programms

[winged spire]

This user cannot be older than 14

[native saddle]

yo guys im lf a cloth mousepad. I was looking at Wallhack MO-001. any other suggestions? max €50

[winged spire]

As of 2020 they agreed to slash ESA’s budget for atleast 7 years

Locking it to 13.2 billion dollars

[wintry swan]

bro its not my fault that you cant distinguish politics from your space rocket whateverthefuck

[wintry swan]

that will change trust me

[winged spire]

It literally cannot

It’s locked to a minimum of 7 years

(Just so you know 7 years after 2020 is 2027)

[fossil frost]

JWST and Hubble

Technically joint missions though

Then there's horizon too

[winged spire]

And they were not remotely the main contributor

Of either

Not sure exactly how much for Hubble but JWST was overwhelmingly a NASA (and contractors) effort

[fossil frost]

Galileo

[winged spire]

The point is that ESA doesn’t have any recent efforts to revitalize itself

No recent breakthroughs

If anything it’s getting worse atleast as of 2020

It’s not about to “level the playing field” with SpaceX

It will take decades to fix the gross mismanagement and cutting they keep doing (the French)

[fossil frost]

Galileo is what caused the US DOD to remove the majority of the restrictions on GPS. Galileo was and is, far more accurate than GPS.

[turbid flower]

Government is terrible at getting anything done lol

[winged spire]

Yep

Most governments

[turbid flower]

In my country it could take 5 years for a pothole to be filled in

[wintry swan]

saaaame and i live in one of the richest in the world

[turbid flower]

Where is that

[wintry swan]

switzerland

[fossil frost]

Nasa also has a massive head start, and had a massive "reason" to develop space technology too. As did Russia, many other countries and organisations didn't. It's only recently that the technology has become cheap enough for private companies to start to take over. And the country with the largest military budget in the world gives billions of dollars to those private companies, giving them a much bigger boost than companies outside of the USA

[wintry swan]

my hero

[fossil frost]

It's not hard to see why the USA and USA companies have a head start. It's simply because they spent more on it

[turbid flower]

That's surprising actually I expected better of Switzerland

[winged spire]

Just take the L 💀💀💀 educate yourself with that great Swiss education

[winged spire]

REAL I thought they had good schools

[wintry swan]

potholes have low priority, untill enough people complain and the bürocracy is complete then it takes 3 miliseconds and its gone, same with bigger projects, nothing for 5 years then everything in 1 week

[winged spire]

NASA only had like a 15 year head start over ESA, SpaceX is only 18 years old BO even younger

[fossil frost]

And have bigger budgets and bigger contracts with the DoD , then most countries do

[turbid flower]

Yea same here too

[wintry swan]

its just like any western country. although its not really the governments fault but that building firms wait it out untill the last moment.

[winged spire]

This is what we are discussing

This message is based on nothing by a person that knows nothing about the ESA and seemingly most topics

[wintry swan]

bro stop tweaking

[fossil frost]

i dont see it happening, the ESA is no where near as well funded as NASA or even SpaceX... European countries prioritise different types of science for different reasons than the USA does

[winged spire]

My thoughts exactly

Not only the finances, but the French are seemingly intentionally sabotaging it

If it’s not intentional I’m even more impressed

[fossil frost]

something on the scale of the LHC would never be built in the USA... and something on the scale of SLS wouldnt be built by any individual european country or the EU

[winged spire]

It almost was 😭

We almost had a much bigger one

Under uh… Regan? I think

https://youtu.be/3xSUwgg1L4g?si=JTY_4hdcKTjqHS3B

This is a fantastic watch if you’re interested, everything Bobby broccoli does is incredible

One of the best content creators by far

[fossil frost]

Fermilab is the closest that exists, but its nowhere close to the size or power. but its smaller-ness, allowed Fermilab to narrow down where the higgs was supposed to be, speeding things up for the LHC

[sly tiger]

europe's biggest accomplishment in the last 10 years

[fossil frost]

so while Fermilab didnt find it, they did contribute to it being found

[winged spire]

How did I know exactly what you weee going to post

lol

[sly tiger]

im from germany

im allowed to post it 😄

[turbid flower]

It seems almost impossible to innovate in europe as much as you can in the us

[winged spire]

There needs to be an in between in terms of regulation

[fossil frost]

there are rules in europe, no killing people... not so much in the USA

[sly tiger]

i mean it is, in the US it's way easier to start a company, less paper work, less unncessary regulations, less taxes

[obsidian oracle]

water bottle without a cap that breaks of equally?

[winged spire]

US needs more government regulation, Europe needs less

[fossil frost]

its not hard to start a company in the UK either, i can start a company now... it takes about 10 minutes, and most of that is waiting for a 2FA code

[sly tiger]

US invests more into their own economy, EU is master of regulation tf out of companies

[turbid flower]

Get taxed so hard can't even reach the heights of spacex or apple

[sly tiger]

yea and then you pay 50% taxes on your income

i mean i live in germany and nearly pay 50% taxes as a normal employee soooo lmao

[fossil frost]

not at all no... when i did run a company, i had it down as low as 13% if i was being, creative with expenses, if i was being strictly to the spirit of the rules, its still around 27%

[sly tiger]

look at the pic that @winged spire posted

must be a reason it is like that

[turbid flower]

How big was this company though what were you doing

How many employees

[fossil frost]

software development, 2 employees, about 300k/yr... but... thats irrelevant... tax bands are the same if you are self employed, or if you have 10,000 employees.. and tbh, the larger the company, the better the accountants you can pay for, and you can get it lower than 13%

[sly tiger]

the truth is that the EU is lazy, there is no incentive for people to create startups, invest into future technologies, invest into space program etc etc etc, you have super high taxes, weird regulations and that's why the US and China are dominating in pretty much every field there is, people literally leave the EU to work in the US due to way better wages

[fossil frost]

also, i said i was in the UK, not the EU... i was forced out of the EU by old racist people

[winged spire]

Atleast some things stay the same 😭😭😭

[sly tiger]

i mean germany literally had working atomic energie plants and due to weird people they shut them all down and now buy electricity from france, russia etc, thats why we had super high electricity prices etc

[fossil frost]

well, the same old racists have recently found out that they are not allowed to retire to their "cheap spanish/portugese villa" anymore...because... no freedom of movement for them anymore...

[sly tiger]

if you are in tech there is no real reason why you want to stay in EU for work, in the US you get paid way better and even with higher cost of living and insurance whatever you will have more money at the end of the month which you can save. EU is turning into a retirement place, not a place to work and live at

[winged spire]

I was just joking about how we ALSO have old racist people

The one thing in common

[fossil frost]

old white racist people, run the world, so they are allowed to be old and racist

[turbid flower]

Doubt

[fossil frost]

anyway... what do we think happened to this?

[turbid flower]

Fell on the floor a few times

[fossil frost]

it has, but that isnt what caused THAT 🙂

[turbid flower]

Maybe some gamer rage

[fossil frost]

noope

[turbid flower]

Your mom sat on it

[sly tiger]

lmaoooo

[fossil frost]

my son dropped it on his way to school, it slipped into the road, as a car was coming past... and the car drove over it

[turbid flower]

With your mom driving it

[winged spire]

Not the worst I’ve seen

[fossil frost]

when he told me, i was surprised thats all it looked like, i would have expected it to be far worse for a car driving over it

[winged spire]

This one had several semis run it over

“Atleast 2”

[turbid flower]

Why

[winged spire]

It was not intentional lol

Probably not intentional

Idk I use to work at geeksquad

The customer is usually wrong

its with my ex-wife at the minute, just told her to pull the sim, and then put the phone in the bin of somebody she doesnt like, just in case the battery goes

[winged spire]

Lmao

Take it to a tech store or something

[turbid flower]

Thar thing us probably older than me

[winged spire]

In the US most tech stores are required to take them.. I’m sure the UK has something similar

[fossil frost]

its a P30, its not worth opening it up to pull any parts out of it

Afaik if they sell lithium batteries they have to accept them for recycling

[obsidian oracle]

go to canada or usa and do a little vacation, then buy those while ur at it

[harsh quartz]

Since when does 250$ equal 125$?

[heavy linden]

Yeah Smart idea

[heavy linden]

Bit of a over exaduration but when in my currency that would be 4100 kr its allot

But the Water bottle is actually cheaper than the cost of shipping and tax

[viscid elm]

Yay another Norway person

[heavy linden]

Im swedish

[viscid elm]

Or sweed

[viscid elm]

Damit

[fossil frost]

water bottle to the uk, shipping and tax doubles the price 😄

[viscid elm]

Just switch to the euro so there will be no more confusion

[heavy linden]

Yeah for me shipping and taxes would have costed me 32 dollars while the bottle is 30

[harsh quartz]

[lilac bear]

crazy takes being made purely because some child hates consoles and thinks PCMR

[lilac bear]

what do you even mean

[lilac bear]

you realize they make movies too

also it's that Sony BOUGHT A COMPANY

they didn't MAKE the company

it's like saying Microsoft is ditching windows in favor of Xbox consoles

Is it a Intel i7 2600k?

[obsidian oracle]

no, its a lidded and rebranded 4090

[cosmic citrus]

Damn, that was my second guess

[uneven stirrup]

Nah it’s a intel core ultra 9 processor

[obsidian oracle]

ultra 9 core 2 series 285k core

[uneven stirrup]

Ah shit yes sorry

That’s what I meant

[obsidian oracle]

all fine, happens

[uneven stirrup]

it’s almost like Intel naming scheme was good…

Still wish they kept the i9-15900K

[obsidian oracle]

same

but meh, idc since im switching to amd on next pc

[uneven stirrup]

I talked to someone about that and they thought the 285K was a processor for a laptop…

[obsidian oracle]

lol

certainly sounds like so cus of the 5

[crude vortex]

@obsidian oracle what are ur pc specs rn

[obsidian oracle]

i5 11400 1660 super 16gb

[crude vortex]

yeah

[obsidian oracle]

do a lot of downscaling n shit so ur cpu can rest a little

[crude vortex]

hahah

ill upgrade the whole rig next year

[obsidian oracle]

cool, make sure to not get any gpu below 5090 and any cpu below 9800x3d

[crude vortex]

im broke

prolly get a 30 series but a good cpu

Ugh I have a dumb question,.. how tight do you screw down a cpu cooler?

[viscid elm]

what cooler?

the stock cooler that comes with most amd cpues (wraith stealth) has a stopper so you cant screw it down too tight

but screw it in a star pattern aka, screw it down a tiny bit on one side and then another and then another but only by a tiny bit until it becomes tight on all screws

[fossil frost]

degrees are something that can get you started in an industry... 5 years in the job, nobody gives 2 shits about your degree, they want to know your experience

[manic torrent]

who has a degree? not me!

[obsidian oracle]

i have a degree, one that has the number 80 next to it and 1900mhz

[long briar]

school isn't a scam, it's a ripoff

it does what it says it does, therefore not a scam

Bachelors Degrees are kinda useless, but Masters and phd are pretty useful to prove your worth

[silver sun]

319

[hollow mango]

I actually disagree with this in general. Obviously for specific studies, you need a masters

[harsh quartz]

Colleges are a scam*

[long briar]

Bachelors Degrees don't get you further than someone with a passion can.

Masters and PHD give you titles

those are the ones that give you respect on your name

[hollow mango]

I think that university degree is important to network and a good starting point especially if you don't have any prior experience. This is why having a bachelor's vs not having on is a contributing factor for people new to the workforce. However a masters vs a bachelor's isn't going to be a huge difference except in specific positions

I mean I wouldn't recommend going to humanities and arts in the first place

[harsh quartz]

Titles are good for tenure but the cost/benefit is questionable

[long briar]

Lets say you want to be a researcher, what sounds better. Mr.Polar or Dr.Dolar?

that Dr shows that you have experience in that field

You already are a researcher and you're applying for this position

[harsh quartz]

I’d rather be neither if we’re being honest

[long briar]

This is mainly true of Engineering and certain sciences

[hollow mango]

If we limit this talk to researcher positions then yes, having a masters is a big advantage

[harsh quartz]

Pyramid scheme type of industry

[long briar]

no not pyramid scheme

there's things you actually just don't learn outside of school

but that's only assuming you're hiring someone out of the gate

What if someone applies who doesn't have a degree but has 4 years of working experience in that field

because it takes more than 5 years to get a PHD, plus to get a PHD you already have to write a research paper that's accepted

the level of detail it takes to get a PHD is far greater than most jobs will ever require

you can be good at your job and work at it for 20 years

but not be as knowledgable as someone who has a PHD

that's why I said Bachelors is kinda useless on its own, but to continue and get a Masters and maybe even a PHD is huge

[fossil frost]

very dependant on the field/industry you are entering

[long briar]

I'm focusing on sciences in general

[harsh quartz]

Get a phd so you can get a job helping other people get a phd so they can help other people get a phd

[median idol]

STEM, Law, and Medical are like only degrees that are even worth while these days

[fossil frost]

law and medical, yes, because they are an absolute requirements for the job... i cant think of many STEM jobs where the degree counts for much other than initially helping to get your foot in the door

[harsh quartz]

Any stem research position. Like ORNL

Tried to get a job there in IT but nothing opened up, unfortunately

[fossil frost]

Chemistry, noope, its useful, you dont NEED it, Pharmaceuticals is medical with a different name... as is genetics... physics, depends what you are doing with it, if you want to teach it, then yes, if you want to research it and be hired right out of school, then yes, you need it... but theres always the possibility of going away and doing your own research, doing your own work, and being hired off the back of your own discovery, without needing the degree...

and those places are not "the industry" they are specific institutions with their own specific hiring policies

it turns out, your own world view, and the way you have done things.. isnt THE way or the only way

i always thought people who go through higher education were more open minded and more able to see other peoples view points and more able to see other ways that the world works beyond their own... turns out that isnt true

[pearl dawn]

🤦‍♂️

What is this lol

[manic torrent]

looool

[fossil frost]

i work on a software that touches several of those industries, specifically designed as a safety net to stop people from dying because of those industries.. i never claimed to say i know how it works, i never claimed you didnt work there... i said that YOUR WAY isnt the only way, i said that YOUR WAY isnt THE way... there is always more than one path, there is always more than a singular way of doing things.. and if you are too blind to see that, then maybe you shouldnt be working in an industry that can cost people their lives

[harsh quartz]

Your just wrong but it’s okay. You have to be confident when your wrong though

[supple pawn]

Hard to be confident when I have no real opinion on the subject. Was just being facetious.

[harsh quartz]

Still gotta be confident

[supple pawn]

I can confidently say that Linux is far better than it was even 5 years ago and is nearly caught up with windows for day to day performance?

[harsh quartz]

Yes. Wrong is okay, but confidence is key

[supple pawn]

My last statement was correct, however.

[harsh quartz]

Mhmm

[fossil frost]

Linux is both better and worse than it was 5 years ago... it has come on loads, but has become even more fractured, leading to more in fighting and more different ways of doing the same thing, rather than people actually working together

a Linux OS would have over taken windows as "the main os", if people could work together... but they cant

[harsh quartz]

Well, Mac

[hazy parrot]

to an extent, the fracturing does lead to overall more software

[supple pawn]

Well, there's hope, at least, that Valve will help to standardize some things, at least partially.

[supple pawn]

Mac is terrible specifically because it is run by Apple.

[hazy parrot]

hyprland is pushing like 10 pull requests a day its gotten so big

[supple pawn]

Well, not terrible

[harsh quartz]

Mac is too IOS-ey now

[supple pawn]

Overstated that

[fossil frost]

if Apple released MacOS for everyone, rather than soft limiting it to their own hardware (which it can/could, because until "recently" it ran on x86)... it would be a very close 2nd place to windows

[hazy parrot]

if we exclude enterprise / commercial users, the home market could probably take majority.

look at iphone marketshare

and the interop between macos and iphones.

[supple pawn]

I don't even know if that is true. Their business practices recently have been overall detrimental to their own consumers, I feel.

[hazy parrot]

that would the migration of the millenia

[fossil frost]

its easier for apple to build macos if they control the exact hardware its allowed to run on though, because then they dont have an infinite set of combinations of hardware and hardware incompatibilities to contend with... microsoft DOES have to worry about those things

[hazy parrot]

as of last year? sure.

lately?
man you been seeing the news?

The EU really scared apple straight

[fossil frost]

apple are walking the tightrope though.. they are implementing to their own interpretation of the rules... and seeing what they can get away with, and they are getting away with some stuff.. EU is slapping them about certain things, but allowing other things to slide

[supple pawn]

I mean the way Apple is pricing their crap shows how they feel about their users.

[hazy parrot]

the appstore thing is still dicey but hardware has been nothing but consumer dubs back to back to back to back

[harsh quartz]

For now. Give it a few years. If the EU shows it has claws to back up the bark, sure, it might help, same with the recent changes in the US policies. But if they back off again, like in the 2000s, it’ll just get worse than ever

[hazy parrot]

not any worse than samsung and oneplus, and even to an extent google

besides, nobody pays retail for phones (im sure some do) but cellphone carriers are financing phones

[supple pawn]

Isn't Apple charging $200 to upgrade to a 1tb drive or some such?

[hazy parrot]

every single year carriers are offering $800 trade ins

[fossil frost]

i believe apple wanted to go usb-c on the iphone for a few generations, but because of the EU attempting to force it, they pretended to push back, Apple are in the news, loads now, people are reminded about apple and the iphone, every day.. Apple's legal fees were effectively part of their marketing budget... and then when apple lost, because when you go up against the people who actually make the laws, you are always going to lose... they have done what they were going to do anyway, but now people are buying it to say "fuck you apple, i have a usb-c iphone now" without realising, you still gave apple a grand for that phone

[supple pawn]

I'm not talking about phones, that's a whole different beast

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, Apple set that standard and has led the industry in a lot of the more negative changes for the mobile device space

[supple pawn]

Well it was actually for security, don't you know? /s

[harsh quartz]

And don’t get me wrong, it’s led a lot of good things too. But it’s a greyscale, not all good, not all bad

[harsh quartz]

If you can’t get into your iPhone, neither can hackers :)

[fossil frost]

i posted this earlier on, but im gonna post it again for those who were not here... THIS is how you stop hackers from hacking your phone 😄

[hazy parrot]

my hot take? Apple doesnt care that they gotta roll over sometimes. They already played the marketshare game. These concessions they're making is costing them nothing.

the ball is def gonna keep rolling here

[fossil frost]

thats not a hot take, apple were going to move to usb-c anyway, and used the EU as a marketing gimmik

[hazy parrot]

[supple pawn]

My mom has owned a Motorola. I still do. Now she has a Samsung with lower specs with my Motorola but payed $400 more.

[supple pawn]

Yeah no shit lol

[hazy parrot]

their downfall paralleled blackbery in terms of timing, luckily for them though, motorolla is an enterprise....diddnt harm them too much

radio communications was always their forte

they have military contracts ffs

[fossil frost]

motorola split into about 6 different other companies, and then sold t he motorola name to lenovo

[supple pawn]

Speaking of Lenovo, thinkpads and ideapads are fucking terrible and you'll never convince me otherwise.

my Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G2, is an amazingly powerful workstation laptop... that I could also beat somebody to death with

[obsidian oracle]

ew i dont want apple on anything besides their garbage, that shit shouldnt poison any other hardware

[supple pawn]

I had one with a Quadro GPU and i7 cpu, the thing constantly sounded like a jet engine and yet still was constantly damn near throttling itself.

[fossil frost]

so you had a bad one that you didnt use properly, which means they are all bad?

[supple pawn]

Hmm... How did I use it?

[fossil frost]

mine has an i9 13980hx and a 3070 in it... hardly makes a whisper

[supple pawn]

If you know I use it improperly you apparently know how I used it.

[fossil frost]

i know that it didnt have proper room to breath, i dont know how you did use it, but i do know that it didnt have good clearance around it.. and i know that you didnt get any of the bios updates that got rid of that in a run of the thinkpads that had that issue at manufacturing, but was fixed immediately

(we have 100s of these across different generations of them at work, and getting that bios update for all of them, was fun)

lenovo fucked up their fan curves, and sensor numbers in some bios's, and issued fixes for almost all thinkpads for t

[supple pawn]

I did install BIOS updates as they rolled out, you have no idea how I had it set up or what clearance it had around it.

[fossil frost]

ok, no, i didnt SEE what you did with it, but i did see 100s of people have the same issue and what they did

so there we go.. no i didnt see you... you are a special case where you did everything right, and it was still bad

[supple pawn]

You don't know a damn thing about how I used it, what updates were installed, what software I used, or any other fan thing. You're putting words in my mouth to try to make a point. You have failed.

[fossil frost]

didnt put any words in your mouth at all, i specifically said it was my experience, and based on my experience, thats what i think you did...

but still.. you are special, you had the one thinkpad that did what you said it did

[supple pawn]

No, you specifically said I was using it wrong and I didn't install BIOS updats.

Unfortunatley not

[supple pawn]

For that level of budget, probably amd gpu. Intel gpu good price, but idk about reliability

[obsidian oracle]

"the skills" is measuring the motherboard's attachment thingies u dont even have to measure by hand since every mobo is made by a standard

rest is just drilling

not drilling the mobo tho

thats bad for your mobo

Small question regarding floatplane
Is there any plans to add video hyperlinking(?might be wrong term) at the end of videos when they mention a older video

i dont see any bottom fans that blow any air to that gpu

PCI-e makes it mid 2000s at least.

[glass mural]

The Amazon listing says it uses DDR2 5300

[manic torrent]

also - that isn't extreme 🙂

[supple pawn]

@celest marsh selling PCs is going to be real complicated. I don't want to tell you what to do, that's not my place, but please consider the potential issues which may happen. For example, you are highly likely to have to deal with IT issues for the people you sell to. Even if the issue isn't anything you did, they may not know that, but you're still going to be the one they call.

Not trying to be a downer, just take care of yourself.

I never actually watched Cars 2 but I wanted to see how RT was implemented. Literally in a 4 minute clip we see a crushed car (mutiliation of a body?), gun violence, dismemberment, mass terrorism and massacre, and another dismemberment. Later on there's fatal torture and gang violence. How is this rated G.

[wide furnace]

i have this led strip i lost the remote to and i still want to use it, any ideas? (its ir and it lights up for a sec when pluging it in)

[obsidian oracle]

Not human so thats why ig lool

[wide furnace]

yea prob

[long briar]

It's deadass more violent than Transformers it's literally like "This movie would be rated 18+ but because it's cars we can do anything"

[obsidian oracle]

Real

[lyric sphinx]

Exactly like a tax

[obsidian oracle]

Cool

[wide furnace]

yep

[lyric sphinx]

Look at Christine

[long briar]

punishes companies for producing and investing things outside of the states

[lyric sphinx]

I think you mean promoting US manufacturing

At least that is how they want us to think about it

[long briar]

It's both.

[wide furnace]

any ideas

[long briar]

if you punish companies for producing things outside of the country, you implicitly create incentive to produce within

[long briar]

Show how the IR receiver is connected to the LEDs?

chances are it's just a separate controller

[wide furnace]

ok

gimme a sec

[lyric sphinx]

We call it chicken tax 2.0

Or chicken tax plus

[wide furnace]

imma dm bc i dont have privlages

sent

[long briar]

I don't DM but send in TC1 or TC2

[wide furnace]

k

[potent rain]

the new videos thumbnail is golden for the video right before it being 'I really hope this is legal.'

[indigo phoenix]

US DOJ absolutely losing their minds with the whole Google thing lately. Someone really needs to get them in line

[chrome olive]

Is it generally bad to buy a used GPU marked as previously overclocked?

[hazy parrot]

Nah not really.

Can't be any worse of a thermal load than a general uncapped framerate

Besides. When overclocking a gpu you tend to undervolt it at the same time

[lilac bear]

Cars 2 is fuckin wild

[lilac bear]

it's specifically a tax on imported goods

[harsh quartz]

Cars 2 is an allegory about killing old people and it’s fuckin wild

[lilac bear]

the Republicans are implementing it in 2025 for the USA at a rate of 10%
I believe it applies to everything imported

tariffs are held to certain countries most of the time

[lyric sphinx]

I mean go into cars conspiracy theories and there were humans that were all killed by cars as they took over also Miata flashing lightning McQueen was fine

[primal cairn]

What a joke, AMD isn't doing so hot, Intel is still climbing up

[lyric sphinx]

Have you watched the news lately Intel is not doing well

[lilac bear]

Intel is still a multi billion dollar company

[lyric sphinx]

They got rid of free coffee as a savings

[lilac bear]

they aren't going bankrupt you doofus

go back to UBM if you think Intel is going bankrupt soon

[lyric sphinx]

I never said that but they are a publicly traded company they have to make more profit every year

And compared to years past they are not doing well they are doing a lot of downsizing

[lilac bear]

oh boo hoo major corporation doesn't make profit every month

[lyric sphinx]

Didn't they just lay off 13k people

[primal cairn]

Who said intel is going backrupt

[lyric sphinx]

Nobody said that I just said they are not doing great

[manic torrent]

Uhhhh

That's literally impossible

[primal cairn]

I thought there was somebody I blocked

[lilac bear]

the USA will hemorrhage money before Intel dies

[lyric sphinx]

Thus the problem with capitalism

[primal cairn]

When in doubt blame capitalism

[lyric sphinx]

You mean bailing them out like the automotive industry

[lilac bear]

exactly

[lilac bear]

your precious Intel isn't going to die any time soon

[primal cairn]

Where's our precious AMD

[lilac bear]

AMD can die I just want only Intel and I want every CPU to suck and be stuck on 4 cores /j

[primal cairn]

Why can't AMD be as good as the N word company

On the GPU side of things

[lilac bear]

Nvidia is on top in terms of sheer performance

[primal cairn]

Don't you hate it when you're eating shit from a monopoly

[lilac bear]

the RTX 4090, as costly as it is, does do better than what AMD offers

[primal cairn]

I'm still going to buy a 5090 when it launches

The duality of man

[lyric sphinx]

AMD in the early 2000s was peak

[hazy parrot]

Because novideo can't share technologies while amd follows up open sourcing everything

[harsh quartz]

Why is everyone nonstop talking about core count now. It’s like we’ve gone back to 2003

[lilac bear]

idk man someone thinks Intel is going bankrupt soon

[lyric sphinx]

When we only had 2 cores peak

[lilac bear]

the brain cells have left chat already

[vapid smelt]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/2024-intel-news.html

[harsh quartz]

Oh there’s lots of those people, we call them dumb, but everyone’s been talking about core counts recently and I just don’t get it

[lilac bear]

Android people do the same so I think it's just a tech thing

more cores, more gigahertz, faster threads

which is something Intel struggles with /j

[primal cairn]

Literally nobody said that

what is happening

[pure knoll]

2 core 2gb ram iPhone still going strong in 2024 with an a9

[primal cairn]

Am I not seeing a person?

[harsh quartz]

Your downfall

[vapid smelt]

Intel should just support sockets longer like AMD did with am4

[pure knoll]

Holy fuck they just handing out free subsidies now

[hazy parrot]

Meanwhile the same people wondering why a phone can't last a whole day

[pure knoll]

Watch it all get misplased

[pure knoll]

Lmfao, my 6s last a while even with only 1700mah

[lilac bear]

"I need the cloud AI features!!"

[pure knoll]

Literally the reason apple added ram unfortunately

[harsh quartz]

Don’t care why. It’s a net benefit

[pure knoll]

Fair, with the downside of replacing siri

[lilac bear]

kinda like how AI might bringing back nuclear power

[pure knoll]

I quite liked Siri, the look up feature and safari suggestions

[pure knoll]

😭 that's acc wild to think abt

[harsh quartz]

God I hate assistants

[pure knoll]

Siri was literally Cortana++ we needed 😢🫡

[lilac bear]

ze Bluetooth device is ready to be uh connect ted 🗣️

[pure knoll]

Clippy pro max

[harsh quartz]

Siri, Cortana, Alexa, all of them can fuck off

[pure knoll]

Idk what you have against Siri, it was a non intrusive part of apple

[hazy parrot]

We're at a turning point rn with arm. Phones are about to become...even more interoperable than we've ever seen. The webapp years were just a stop-gap while people slowly find desktops less and less viable for tasks

[pure knoll]

Why don't you tell apple to allow side loading instead

[lilac bear]

Cortana sucks because Microsoft chose it literally because they own Halo
meaning that Halo 3 was the only good last release of Halo

[graceful vapor]

if apple have good back button me will try

[harsh quartz]

Don’t care it can go away

[lilac bear]

proof Intel is dying /j

[pure knoll]

U saying phone will replace computer?

Speaking very roughly

[hazy parrot]

Idk about you but Siri alone has made hands free eyes focused on the road texting and driving actually safe

[lilac bear]

it's dependant on the app devs, not Apple

[pure knoll]

He's saying apple need a a back button like android

[harsh quartz]

I mean, we already have very powerful handheld computers, and tablets have replaced laptops in some areas

[lilac bear]

oh the touch button? lmao

bring back the clickable home button

and headphone jack

[graceful vapor]

i just want dedicated button, im a simple person

[hazy parrot]

I'm saying phones and computers will be the same thing.

[harsh quartz]

Or, and this is a wild fuckin concept, just don’t use your phone while driving

[pure knoll]

Ok

[pure knoll]

Good point

[lilac bear]

but they are?

[hazy parrot]

Sure but. Siri makes it safe to do

[harsh quartz]

It’s never safe to do. It’s still a distraction

[pure knoll]

Google assistant was nice too

[gilded quest]

Voice commands are fine

[lilac bear]

you can type up documents on phones today

[pure knoll]

I agree, really only useful at traffic lights to be lazy

[hazy parrot]

It's equally as dangerous as talking to your passenger you buffoon

[pure knoll]

Fuck Gemini*

[harsh quartz]

Driving is inherently unsafe, distractions make it more

[gilded quest]

I can yell at Google assistant to add a stop to my navigation perfectly safely

[pure knoll]

I am kinda scared to on the highway cuz it never works 😭

[gilded quest]

Other drivers* are inherently unsafe

[pure knoll]

And then I need to use my hands 😭

[harsh quartz]

This is a terrible attitude

[hazy parrot]

Quit villanizing me when I'm trying to explain the tech has developed to the point where it's compelling enough to stop people actually being distracted on their phones

[gilded quest]

If it doesn't work just pull off the next off ramp and do it manually

[lilac bear]

lmao

[hazy parrot]

It has saved lives. Like it or not.

[pure knoll]

All drivers more like it

[pure knoll]

It's like smoking vs vaping tbf

[hazy parrot]

People are stupid and will do stupid things but if you can give them a safe way to do it that's awesome

[gilded quest]

Based on the driving I've seen the last 3 days it's pretty fucking accurate

[pure knoll]

I am scared when I see someone pulling on the the onramp with me and holding a phone

[gilded quest]

California highways are basically Mad Max irl

[harsh quartz]

And you’ve never once made a mistake while driving?

[pure knoll]

😭

[gilded quest]

Sometimes I cut people off without signaling. I feel bad about it

I regular miss my exit or turn because if I can't get over safely I'll just take the next one instead of yeeting myself across 4 lanes of traffic as most people seem to do

[hazy parrot]

Why are you playing this, judgment of character role rn.

[pure knoll]

😭 admitting to reckless driving (federal crime) is wild 😭

[harsh quartz]

I’m not. I’m saying driving is inherently dangerous. This isn’t a judgment thing. Any extra distractions are a bad thing, and I will not praise technology that makes it easier to multitask while driving

[gilded quest]

Hard to get mad at hands free alternatives when I see people using their phone on the highway or driving with a dog in their lap

[hazy parrot]

Sure you can virtue signal this all you want. But if not for this tech, a lot more people would be dead from texting and driving

[harsh quartz]

It’s not virtue signaling my guy. I literally leave my phone on silent in the center console anytime I’m driving because I do not want the distraction. I wish others would do similar and focus on the most dangerous thing they do on a daily basis

[gilded quest]

It would be nice if the police in my area ever did anything about driving violations

[hazy parrot]

People are stupid and will do stupid things. If your provide a compelling alternative that reduces harm, why criticize it. Oh it's so tragic that not everyone is like you

[harsh quartz]

Making it easier to use a phone while driving is just inspiring bad habits, whether you agree or not is up to you

[gilded quest]

I'm convinced running red lights and driving without places is legal where I live

[lilac bear]

well I don't think any of you can get as bad as running 96MPH through a school zone

[gilded quest]

The LTT Doug demerol whatever his fuckin name is, the video title was 10/10

No way this wasn't influenced by recent events lmao

*the video title, not video

[lilac bear]

that is so good

suddenly reminds me that the new trailer for Minecraft starts with ||when I was a kid, I yearned for the mines||

[gilded quest]

How drunk do I need to be to make it though the Minecraft movie

[lilac bear]

the new trailer makes it not seem bad

like it'll be very campy fun

just don't expect an amazing story with deep emotion and meaning and it'll be fine

[gilded quest]

Well I had 0 expectations for that

The visual design just seems a little distracting

I was expecting less sort of photo realistic

[lilac bear]

even then people don't watch good movies anymore either

[celest token]

Can anyone call and help me with my pc shutting of and restarting when i get in a game?

[patent violet]

First thought: PSU

[celest token]

already checked it

[lilac bear]

could be a driver error, temperature too hot, or PSU error

[manic torrent]

No

[patent violet]

As in not enough power.

[celest token]

I also checked temps, drivers, bios and nothing helped

[celest token]

850 watts and estimated it 580

[lilac bear]

temps doesn't matter if you're idle

[celest token]

65 degrees max

[lilac bear]

oh

[celest token]

with loaad

[gilded quest]

Well for the last 2 years the writers strike probably put a delay on some of the better films; although idk if we would still be feeling an effect of that delay

[manic torrent]

don't they? ... [citation needed]

[lilac bear]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillermo_del_Toro's_Pinocchio

that box office is horrendous

[manic torrent]

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it’s Pinocchio movie #17 in the past 3 years

[manic torrent]

based on total and average numbers - people are absolutely watching movies.

your definition of "good" is the only thing questionable there

[harsh quartz]

Last movie that I actively adored and will happily watch again was probably everything everywhere all at once

Dune 2 was good, and boy and the heron was also good, but I don’t want to rewatch them

[tame mesa]

hello

[lilac bear]

what would you say is a good movie then

Mario Movie?

[manic torrent]

You're the one defining it here, not me

[lilac bear]

oh too bad

so sad

[manic torrent]

Your claim is "people don't watch good movies anymore" .... implying that they used to.

and it's your definition of good

people are clearly watching plenty of movies

[lilac bear]

okay person who watched Red One

[manic torrent]

therefore you must have a problem with the quality and choice, and that it has changed.

[lilac bear]

starring Dwayne the rock Johnson

[manic torrent]

ok, so you can't back up your statement, and you were full of shit. Good to know.

[lilac bear]

okay person who can't even make their own statement

[hazy parrot]

this debate sounds like old married couple
