the back doesn't have the 4 holes

[velvet plover]

some have a cover so i thought

[summer folio]

No vesa mount on the image, also it's va, called it

Ahh

[grim belfry]

Not even for Excel or Outlook 🥺

[velvet plover]

im aware, this would be a 2rd monitor, so like the cheapest that i can get

[summer folio]

Now I get it @lilac bear voice activated haha

[grim belfry]

Or Access 365

[summer folio]

Does curved second monitor really makes sense though?

[velvet plover]

up top, above my main

[summer folio]

Wont the curved side closest to you be less visible?

[velvet plover]

but i may have just hit the jackpot: https://www.amazon.ca/Samsung-LS24T350FHNXZA-Eye-Saver-Freesync-LF24T350FHNXZA/dp/B08J4JRRCT

[summer folio]

Ah gotcha ig (I don't get function of curved)

[velvet plover]

lol ok

[summer folio]

My 32" VA monitor straight infront of me, could use better viewing angles at the corners ig

But is that needed at smaller sizes, or with IPS? idk

[velvet plover]

idk if ill go curved, the idea (i think) with a top curved is that you can kinda see it even when your looking at your secondary and not your main

[summer folio]

Just tilt it

[velvet plover]

what? then you cant see it from the main

[summer folio]

Still think IPS would just be better x)

[velvet plover]

yes ips curved is better c)

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1310770920805109832 can anyone check out my build?

[manic torrent]

I moved us to google 😄

[grim belfry]

No MS365 at all 👀

[manic torrent]

we backup LOTS of MS365 🙂

[grim belfry]

Do you use Googles IAM?

[grim belfry]

Or Entra or something else

[manic torrent]

jumpcloud

[velvet plover]

is this vesa? i think it is since it has the square in the back but i wanted to check: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08J4JRRCT/r

[manic torrent]

yes (according to the pics)

[grim belfry]

Interesting

[manic torrent]

Ironically, it's free. Because we are <10 people 😄

[grim belfry]

Oh there you go

[velvet plover]

should i? its 449.64 dollars

for 2 monitors and arms and a dock

[manic torrent]

I have a security revamp project which will move the infrastructure behind an additional factor using ubikeys

[grim belfry]

Then at 11 people it jumps to like $300/month?

[manic torrent]

monitor arms are the best

[manic torrent]

haha, not that bad, but if you're using all the 'top tier' functions yeah it adds up

[patent violet]

LOOOL

[patent violet]

Im in the middle of doing this too.

[manic torrent]

I mean even linux I wouldn't describe as "the most open", because it's a weird flex

[patent violet]

I just setup an Internal CA (Microsoft CA) with an ACME Webclient

[velvet plover]

but should i bite that bullet? its a lot of money

[patent violet]

https://github.com/glatzert/ACME-Server-ADCS

[velvet plover]

also why cant i send images here but that other person can?

[velvet plover]

great there we go

yes or no?

[manic torrent]

I mean I would, but it's your money and your life

[velvet plover]

fair

i think i will

[manic torrent]

cool

[velvet plover]

thats sale price

[grim belfry]

Contact Sales makes me never want to touch them

Fuck contacting sales

[restive lion]

you may not be the target market lol

[grim belfry]

I probably am

If I really hated myself I could give them a couple hundred seats

But no thanks

[prime solstice]

I should see if Amazon has any of the CDs I want on sale

[supple pawn]

What's an CD?

Is that one of them weird punch card things people used to program on?

[restive lion]

honestly most sales teams are fine

[manic torrent]

yeah but I don't want to talk to them

ewww

[restive lion]

lol

[supple pawn]

Just got to email sales and they'll maybe get back to you in no longer than 2 weeks.

[gilded quest]

Certificate of deposit

[grim belfry]

Yeah, give me the option.

I almost got turned off from one of our best vendors because of this

[lilac bear]

"the most open operating system"
oh they probably used Linux in the process of making this presentation

also Windows 11 being notorious for lacking UI options

also Microsoft issuing updates to kill any software that changes the UI

[jaunty compass]

the brain behind the operation https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/244329943146823680/1310795134631415808/VID_20241125_203003520.mp4?ex=67468499&is=67453319&hm=01798ca94cead3f2520d33ac77b098acb37dd0e30e38be83b4ecd3fbe27cc695&

[full fossil]

Open as in to breaches and shit

Open to be the most shit on

[harsh quartz]

Open as in windy cause, they left the window open.

[full fossil]

Open to be left alone

[lilac bear]

now I can bash Microsoft for "The Most Open Operating System" and Apple for "8GB on Mac = 16GB other system"

because they are both lies

[full fossil]

Me when jump server

IP is VPN IP so good luck

[fierce moth]

not sure if anyone cares tho

[full fossil]

Some script kiddos do

Who think that OMG HE HAS HIS IP ON THE OPEN

Tbh the jump server is too overcompensating on the storage. The thing I really hate from it is the fact that it has a 2x12TB drives and zero use for it

But I now can work from anywhere so ehehhhhhh

[lilac bear]

if a script kiddie was here they would get roasted to hell

[long briar]

real

[lilac bear]

I think I actually recall Bizz doing that sometime 😭

cause the script kiddie was trying to be edgy

[patent violet]

I wish there was a skid here to roast

[grim belfry]

Not really a VPN IP

[full fossil]

It’s Tailscale IP

[grim belfry]

Also no

[full fossil]

So the fuck they’re advertising themselves as then

[grim belfry]

It's IP space reserved in RFC6598 that's most used in CGNAT applications

[shadow skiff]

Will there be more sales each day at the same time?

[neon mesa]

Basically glorified local IP

And i hate that shit >:(

[restive lion]

[neon mesa]

Breaks port forwarding

[grim belfry]

It's great

[restive lion]

deffos a tailscale ip

[grim belfry]

It depends

[full fossil]

cool stuff-3

[neon mesa]

If you're running out of IPV4 then fuckin use IPV6

[lilac bear]

IPV6 too complicated

[neon mesa]

CGNAT is just an excuse to make us pay for a proper public IP

[grim belfry]

Most CGNAT implementations are dual stack

[lilac bear]

when is IPV8

[grim belfry]

Never

[restive lion]

i angered all of my IT friends by turning off ipv6 instead of figuring out ipv6 on my pihole

[grim belfry]

We will make ourselves extinct before using 340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 addresses

[restive lion]

is that a challenge

[grim belfry]

Yes

[neon mesa]

And even if you're not a some developer or hobbyist with a self hosted server, CGNAT also affects some games.
Fuck CGNAT. >:(

[neon mesa]

And for this, they certainly succeeded in making me pay for one.

[grim belfry]

CGNAT affects some games because the devs are idiots

[restive lion]

i mean, not really

[full fossil]

AHEM Destiny 2

[neon mesa]

Also god forbid you try to run a Minecraft server for your friend

[full fossil]

Me kicked out from D2 game because of my NAT settings:

[neon mesa]

You have to use some shitty high latency tunnel

[restive lion]

game servers specifically ig, its stupid for just p2p games yeah

[lilac bear]

kinda shit game anyway

[grim belfry]

Gamers aren't the majority

[full fossil]

That’s why I leave it be

[neon mesa]

CGNAT also breaks over the internet remote desktop

[full fossil]

The reason why I still play D2 is to bully new lights on PvP

[grim belfry]

Not really

[restive lion]

only bad ones

[grim belfry]

Services like Tailscale solve that

[neon mesa]

My point is it no longer works out of the box

I had to use a VPN just so i can use parsec over LTE

[grim belfry]

It does if you bbuy the correct box.

[restive lion]

assuming tailscale's nat punching works lol, otherwise youre stuck on a relay that cant support a remote desktop stream for shit lmao

[neon mesa]

More and more asterisks

[grim belfry]

If you need a real-world routable address, pay the extra $5 for it

[restive lion]

or just use ipv6

[grim belfry]

Or that

[neon mesa]

Garbage ISP with non functional internet IPV6

Which is most of them

[grim belfry]

Sounds like you picked the wrong service for you, and instead of rectifying that, you're complaining to strangers on the internet

:p

[neon mesa]

God forbid sharing in the internet bruh, we should all shut the fuck up and let the chat die

[full fossil]

Ah the consequences of my actions

[restive lion]

idk how people always find these terrible isps, ive never had an ISP that hasnt had ipv6

[neon mesa]

And i am already taking action

I switched to a new ISP and paid for a static IP

[grim belfry]

Look at you go

[neon mesa]

Added bonus of symmetrical upload. So people won't complain that my fileserver has garbage download speed.

[full fossil]

Speaking of internet speed

You know what I hate from my roommate? Is the fact that he quickly switch to wired network when I found that the wired network works and faster than the in-room WiFi

[neon mesa]

What's to hate about that

[full fossil]

Gigabit LAN works
“You use the LAN?”
“No. I only use Wi-fi”

The next day
“STOP UNPLUGGING IT I AM USING THE LAN”

[full fossil]

Indecisive and suddenly gets angry when I try to do my shit

[grim belfry]

On WiFi you are also using the LAN 😉

[neon mesa]

If it's the lack of ports just get a switch brah

[soft yacht]

hi

[full fossil]

It’s his own words.

[sacred torrent]

yo is aliexpress trustworthy for buying 4070ti supers on?

[grim belfry]

Not usually

[neon mesa]

Depends

[grim belfry]

Tread with caution

[sacred torrent]

its a 4070ti super for $345

[neon mesa]

Just, make sure your reading comprehension is A+

[grim belfry]

US?

[sacred torrent]

yes

[neon mesa]

If it's too good to be true it usually is
And if it's some unknown AIB definitely don't touch it

[grim belfry]

You're not going to be getting a 4070ti super

[neon mesa]

a*

Edited label of shame

[sacred torrent]

but its listed as a 4070ti super

[neon mesa]

Yes and my copper ingot is listed as 24k gold on ebay

[grim belfry]

[sacred torrent]

"NEW QUALITY MSI Gaming RTX 4070 TI Super 16G Ventus 3X OC Graphics Card"-AliExpress seller

wait

[neon mesa]

Just read the description and find for the caveats

[grim belfry]

Look at that video

[sacred torrent]

it says 100 are available for purchase

ive seen it

[neon mesa]

Blud has zero scam awareness

[sacred torrent]

if i had zero scam awareness i would have bought 100 already

[grim belfry]

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink

[neon mesa]

Sellers can say whatever the fuck they want on a listing, it doesn't have to be true, especially on ali.

[sacred torrent]

• I wouldnt be asking about it, Just curious if it was potentially legit 🤷‍♂️

[hazy parrot]

you act like ali is a escrow market and not a retailer.

they do process returns and refund like any other retailer. No you're not contacting a seller and starting a dispute

[grim belfry]

No...

You literally do start disputes

[hazy parrot]

https://sale.aliexpress.com/__pc/1BB5HiMxKx.htm

the dispute is not between you and seller

this is a return guarantee.

[grim belfry]

Ask @near nymph how annoying that is

[hazy parrot]

this is china, so I do understand

[neon mesa]

Yea, good luck doing returns between you and china. You can but it's a PAINFUL process

[hazy parrot]

its a bit longer than driving to the local best buy and swapping out some ram the same day

but still. Its not an entirely unviable option.

[grim belfry]

Weeks and weeks

[neon mesa]

+You cover return shipping costs

And it's not cheap

[sacred torrent]

found someone on Ebay selling a 4070ti super for $69.22

[hazy parrot]

personally I love to shop to local. But some people here were really passionate about these and were an excellent value, had the right oem components

asked him if he can send a pic of the gpu and something with a date next to the box

[hazy parrot]

and now im a believer

[neon mesa]

Local ecomm on my country are already competitive pricing wise i only ever wanna use ali if it really can't be bought locally

[hazy parrot]

south east asia?

[sacred torrent]

i might just gamble on this $70 4070 ti super on ebay. hes offering free shipping for returns

[hazy parrot]

oh this guy....I get you two now

[near nymph]

@hazy parrot lol what are you on?

AliExpress dispute process for anything expensive is hell

[hazy parrot]

uh, pepsi

[near nymph]

For cheap stuff it’s fine.

[sacred torrent]

what have i started?

[hazy parrot]

walk me through what this would look like

[alpine gale]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-fry-futurama-gif-20192784

[hazy parrot]

say you get your kit and dimms not as advertised

[neon mesa]

Basically for any purchases small enough it's basically rounding error on your tax filing

[hazy parrot]

this like an amazon ordeal where they rather you keep the item and refund you cause its cheaper than shipping

[sacred torrent]

should I do it? hes offering returns and free shipping for the return.

[alpine gale]

Impossible for me to answer without seeing the listing myself. That said, if it's too good to be true, it likely is.

[neon mesa]

This is not the case if YOU are the one covering shipping

[sacred torrent]

I forgot am i allowed to share links?

[neon mesa]

Yes as long as it's not shady links
Ali is allowed

[sacred torrent]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/196844287826?

[neon mesa]

Remove everything after ? In the link

[hazy parrot]

you must clearly never been scammed before

[near nymph]

You have issue.
1st: you must prove you’re not a scammer
2nd: you must provide evidence like videoing the unboxing
3rd: you need to prove there’s no discrepancies with the package when you start unboxing.

4th: you need to argue why the item they provide you won’t work

5th: if it a similar product you need to prove why you can’t take a partial refund. If not. The seller will constantly say it’s okay. And they have AliExpress agents in their pockets sometimes

6th: they will ask you to ship it back with the most obscure shipping company. Tracking broken.

7th: you must prove you handed it in even if you hand it off to the shipping company

[glass mural]

That’s hella sus

They joined eBay in October

[hazy parrot]

so it really is an ebay dispute that gets moderated.

[wooden sedge]

I have a cool idea: I want to build an AirPods case that has a small touchscreen to control music and have it be able to download music like an iPod. I also want the case to have an extra battery to give the AirPods more battery life.

[hazy parrot]

motherfker. thats nasty.

[glass mural]

100/10 scam

[near nymph]

By a bias moderator? Yes

[sacred torrent]

I wish i could share screenshots, but it shows 30 day returns, Buyer pays for shipping

[hazy parrot]

a retailer that isnt customer sided is barely a retailer

[alpine gale]

https://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/22-3dlabs-wildcat-ii-5110

[alpine gale]

Just don't buy it. Or can you not buy it. Or please to not do the purchase lest scammed ye be. Or you gonn' get hosed. Or it's a scam.

[near nymph]

I love AliExpress because cheap stuff. But I won’t recommend buying anything expensive from it

[hazy parrot]

the burden of proof before you even get your label is the most absurd thing to me

[near nymph]

Oh I had to prove that I haven’t receive the item before.

[glass mural]

I love my 33¢ AirPod case

[hazy parrot]

its almost a like a liability fallacy rather than a scam protection layer

[near nymph]

Literally recorded myself opening the mailbox and opening my front door

LMFAO

[long briar]

This, fortunately I've never had any issues with any of my expensive items so I've never had to really dispute anything

Cheap things on aliexpress dispute is dead easy tho

[sacred torrent]

Oh lol, I think its scam

[hazy parrot]

if this is their process anecdotes only can go so far

[long briar]

huh what?

[hazy parrot]

I had a good experience too

[long briar]

no he's right, that is their process

for expensive items

The things I've needed to dispute have always been cheap and hassle free

I disputed a pencil not showing up after 35 days

got my 6 bucks back

two weeks later the pencil showed up

[hazy parrot]

amazon.

[long briar]

I'd be paying double on amazon

for something I didn't urgently need

[hazy parrot]

I just meant that method of customer support is only something amazon can afford to do and its nice

[neon mesa]

If ali has return process as easy as amazon it's 100% getting abused to oblivion

[long briar]

^yea that.

it's already very good

you can't really fault it

[neon mesa]

It's already abused bad enough people are getting 12700k with 12900k IHS on amazon

Or 4090 box with weights

[long briar]

that's not abused

[neon mesa]

It happens due to return abuse

[long briar]

that's just being used, and assuming you video's your unboxing, they'll refund you

[hazy parrot]

clones are something a retailer return policy is the only confidence a consumer can have here

and now you gotta...ace attourney your ass and roleplay an unboxing youtuber LOL

[long briar]

no I literally just

set up a phone on the side

and record, no words, nothing

[hazy parrot]

was exaggerating still funny tho

good to know thanks yall and @near nymph you too for the breakdown

Hello anyone here know anything about apple shortcuts I need to send an automatic message once a shortcut is enabled to send a message and the current location

[manic torrent]

yeah you just press g-o-o-g-l-e

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/google-exists-google-search-it-geekboy-geekboy-cz-gif-25933207

[granite tinsel]

ah wait they’re referring to the app named shortcuts, not literal keyboard shortcuts

[smoky badge]

https://www.google.com/

[icy plaza]

Right basically I have designed an app what detect? Seizures and I’m wanting to add it to shortcuts so it auto sends my current location and a message

[granite tinsel]

i think you could have that as an automation

[icy plaza]

I guess know one is taking me seriously

[granite tinsel]

idk shortcuts very well so i can’t really help you

that’s why people are telling you to google

[hazy parrot]

you wanna put a medical aid in the hands of random strangers thats your MO

shortcuts is very user friendly. Ever use this site before? https://scratch.mit.edu

most students these days take a term with it

[smoky badge]

Because what you’re asking can be searched up

[manic torrent]

honestly I have no idea if you meant iOS or MacOS to start with, and you're asking a question you don't seem to know enough about. Also a question that should be answerable by researching in the same way anyone else would have to.

[hazy parrot]

kinda felt like they're speaking to paid consultants

[icy plaza]

iOS Ive programmed my watch and 2 smart rings connected to my body to auto detect this I’m wanting to add a message and send the current location

[hazy parrot]

you can do it 👏

[alpine gale]

I don't own an iOS device so I can't help beyond this, but maybe this will help?

Chat how much to restore the interior of these planes

[patent violet]

I see missing instruments for one

Some need to be cleaned up

Around 100K

Thats just the interior

the engines need to be checked

[grim belfry]

Just needs a lick of paint!

[pliant mantle]

No wifi drivers, no Ethernet port and when i try to install drivers manually it won't work ;-;

Is there a way to skip this part of set-up?

[hoary steppe]

Engines? No clue where they’re at

[grim belfry]

This wasn't how it was out of the box, is it?

[hazy parrot]

get to a desktop first

[hoary steppe]

Maybe I can treat myself to a air freshener!

[grim belfry]

Don't be ridiculous

[hoary steppe]

Omfg you have me dying 😭😭

I need sleep 😭

[grim belfry]

Go sleep

Problem solved

[hoary steppe]

Maybe I’ll dream of that air freshener

[mint abyss]

I remember years ago when I just installed windows on a fresh SSD, I made a restore point. If I want to format the SSD and reinstall Windows again I can just find that restore point and skip the reinstall?

[manic torrent]

$50,000

[hoary steppe]

These planes are actually at my school, the 2nd pic which has the cleanest interior is an ex airforce twin prop, the other is like a C-45 twin prop, I can get more info on them next week when I go back

[hazy parrot]

nah, restore points are like, a checklist of all the clothes you wore that day

and over time those clothes get dirtier and you might even loose a sock right?

restoring back to that point would put you back in the dirty clothes and missing sock

make sense?

[hoary steppe]

I can get bob to do it for 5

[grim belfry]

That's like 1000 tins of paint

You'd only need 2 or 3

[hoary steppe]

If that

[slow grotto]

Paint is not the only problem.

[manic torrent]

$100 bulk tin of paint, $NFI grenade

[grim belfry]

It just needs a lick of paint, it's fine

[hoary steppe]

Everything works, just needs paint

[grim belfry]

Yes

[copper ingot]

hiii

[pliant mantle]

Yes it came with no os

[pliant mantle]

Thanks

[mint abyss]

I see thanks, will format the SSD and reinstall. It feels like every 2-3 years my windows just act weird, sometimes explorer.exe not responding and require a task restart, sometimes the right click menu takes 0.5 second to show up, sometimes I get weird artifacts flashing when certain windows overlap each other.

[hazy parrot]

yea a windows install ages like milk

I do it often too

[hoary steppe]

Just emailed my teacher, think he’ll respond before thanksgiving?

[alpine gale]

Going on 2+ years, zero issues.

[hazy parrot]

if he makes more than 6 figure salary, otherwise I wouldnt expect it

[grim belfry]

I sure hope he doesn't

It's people constantly just installing crap

[hazy parrot]

well, software literacy goes a long way.

[manic torrent]

I sure hope he does earn 6 figures

[grim belfry]

I know he does not

[alpine gale]

True that. This is why I install every free security software I see on various blog websites. /s

[hazy parrot]

I use arch for a bit and suddenly I think I can strip out windows update services

[alpine gale]

No, I don't see or think that. We all have our learned strengths and weaknesses. What comes "easily" doesn't for others, and vice versa. Honestly, having to reinstall Windows every X years means you're more ready for forced changes than I would be.

[hoary steppe]

its not even a dual tower.
why is that so expensive ?

[obsidian oracle]

ah 35 usd, cool then

[cedar tinsel]

What's the difference?

[meager shell]

aah... well, that's a little better.

[obsidian oracle]

yup

[fierce moth]

what?
different countries have different dollars

[meager shell]

sure, but sometimes it gets confusing since most dollars use the same $ symbol...

[fierce moth]

if it were an international site it would generally be A$ or AUD$
but since its local we dont bother

[meager shell]

ohh... i see.

Yes that's the problem. All the stores here have like 4 screens on display.

And no one gives bezel specs when I look online too.

[meager shell]

slimmer ?
i would want thicker monitors... like my old one.
or is there an advantage for the slim monitors ?

[burnt lark]

Slim bezel, I don't really mind if the monitor itself is thin or thick.

[meager shell]

ohh... got it.

[burnt lark]

But apparently the industry don't give dimensions for it they just call it "super slim" or "borderless"

But is 8 mm considered on the slimmer side?

[manic torrent]

slim-ish, but it also depends on the size

[burnt lark]

32"

[full fossil]

Ass dollars

[minor palm]

basically the price to pay for fancy animations etc

[smoky badge]

Apps get bigger overtime with all the updates they add.

[ivory mirage]

I don't think an app like paypal has any fancy animations

[plain gale]

it very much has

[ivory mirage]

Sure but it just seems like some apps don't even need half of their sizes

[plain gale]

also frameworks are simply getting bigger aswell

[wet salmon]

Building a pc right now
Got an rx 7900 xt from powercolor
This is the chonkiest mf I've seen, it's so big and heavy wth
Also the gpu came with a holder :D

I realize now my hand might not be a good comparison tool

[smoky badge]

Well developers don’t care

[ivory mirage]

Can you point me to anything that's considered fancy?

[minor palm]

robo defense is still on the play store, and playable on new phones; thats 10mb and just as fun as new TD games. you have to remember how far they've come

[wet salmon]

Galaxy buds 2 for comparison

[hazy parrot]

cache

[ivory mirage]

Games are an obvious exception, I'm only talking about regular apps
It looks like nobody gives an F anymore about optimizing the footprint of their apps

[manic torrent]

They do, it's just that there's 10s of competing requirements.

[minor palm]

ok go look up screenshots of facebook v1 or something, i feel my point stands though

[ivory mirage]

I regularly clear the cache, for example paypal right now is only caching about 8MB, so the size you saw in that screenshot is accurate and is just data

[plain gale]

literally all interactions ive just tried, except switching between homescreen and wallet have animations and more. also it looks like they either updated or switched the framework they used which may have an increase in size

[ivory mirage]

Do we have the same app? I just tapped on "send" and "receive" and there was zero animations, the list of contacts just appears

[hazy parrot]

you are clearing redundant cache, not....user cache.

these apps are just front ends for websites. They grow to this size because they retain all the data generated to present info to you on your device.

if all these apps were, were just web portal shortcuts, it would be very small size sure, but it would feel barbaric

you'd see the transitions between pages is in a jarring "non-app" way. It would be slower

among other things

[ivory mirage]

Isn't cache just cache? I'm not sure I know what the difference is but in both cases if I can't clear it then it's the devs' job to optimize the footprint of the app since it's out of my control

[ivory mirage]

Paypal for example is already a bit slow and animations are jarring, just try it yourself

[hazy parrot]

this is judging optimization based on file size. When these apps need to generate unique layouts for the hundreds and hundreds of devices they can appear on

they are optimized. Just not in your ideal way.

[ivory mirage]

I feel like it's the same problem with games hitting 100GB and more. I try hard not to put my tinfoil hat on

[manic torrent]

that's not true either

[minor palm]

tinfoil hat about what

[hazy parrot]

the web in 2024 is very different than it was in 2010.

Browsing the web can be a high load task for devices.

[grim belfry]

Lol what

[hazy parrot]

my best mate is reactjs front end dev he never shuts up about this stuff

[ivory mirage]

Wanting to sell more SSDs and higher capacity NAND flash chips but people don't really need that much storage on average
Solution? size inflation

Tinfoil hat off

[minor palm]

oh yeah that makes sense, samsung probably pays COD devs to not worry about filesizes

[ivory mirage]

I didn't make a direct connection between COD and samsung, try reading le conspiracy theory again

[minor palm]

bro you asked why and we gave reasons. I think it just comes down to the fact that they think adding stuff is better for the user experience than either excluding it, or slowing down the apps further by wasting cpu cylces decompressing all the time

[hazy parrot]

ux pays the bills.

we are a small teeny tiny minority that even thinks about this kinda stuff

its only gonna get worse

[manic torrent]

ux is really the ONLY thing that matters. Size only matters when it affects UX

[hazy parrot]

the modern internet

[ivory mirage]

Crysis 3 was only 17GB
Now think of an equivalent modern game that isn't open world, and how much storage it needs

[minor palm]

these must be the flame wars i read about in the new member guide. why one that isn't open world? what even is an equivalent if google says crysis 3 itself is one?

[ivory mirage]

This isn't a "flame war" I don't understand why you're taking it personally
If you ask google that I guess it's a you problem?

[ivory mirage]

why one that isn't open world?
Uh, because crysis 3 wasn't open world?

[minor palm]

well i haven't played it and i think your question contradicts itself

[ivory mirage]

Should've asked le google that

[minor palm]

what's an example of an equivalent then

bro i just said i did

[vapid zephyr]

It already is on bruh

[manic torrent]

people whinging about the size of games or how "unoptimized" games are should be forced to do 6 months of game development.

[ivory mirage]

Stop peeping through my window you creep

[static estuary]

hello guys i am thinking to sell my gtx 970 and buy gtx 1080 dell oem model what you think is it good gpu? i mean i know 1080 is good good but is dell oem model quiet? also i wonder how good is temps under load

[ivory mirage]

Get a 3060 instead

[static estuary]

yes but in my country 3000 serias are expensive

its almost 1/3 of 3060 price

[ivory mirage]

Look for a good deal on a used 3060, otherwise just stick to your 970 until you find something worth upgrading to

[static estuary]

yeah i am thinking to built new pc but upgrading from 970 to 1080 dell oem model is like paying 30$ and i think for a couple of month its worth, but i don't know how dell oem card performs,

[short rock]

no banana for scale?

[wet salmon]

Yeah thought about it but sadly I don't t have one.. :]

[short rock]

sadly

[frozen pawn]

hi

[meager shell]

30$ is pocket money...
save up for a 3060 or a 4060. they are about the same price and performance too...

[harsh quartz]

?

[static estuary]

My current pc is enough for now i just started working remote working and i have time to game i thinking to buiod new pc before gta 6 pc release 😅 for that i time think 1080 will just be fine if that model doesn't have any problem

[runic lance]

Not for everyone in every country. $30 could be a week's salary.

[meager shell]

idk, man. if you want to play GTA 6, you should wait until the minimum pc requirements are released...
i have a feeling that a 1080 wouldn't be enough for that game...

even my 3060 might not be enough to run that game at 1080p with 60fps in medium graphic settings...

[rustic tundra]

there is no desktop 4050

[merry mountain]

What should I look for to see if a website is legit about selling PC components? Website: MBPC.gg

[split swift]

You can make one by severely underclocking a 4060

[austere shale]

How much would I need to underclock a 4090 to make it a 4050

[storm agate]

hi!

[manic torrent]

how much trepanation would I need to get on your level

[desert dagger]

all of it

[austere shale]

Somebody’s gotta test the stupid shit

I’ll do it with a 5090 too if I decide to trade my gpu in for one when they come out

I just hope the 5090 isn’t longer otherwise it won’t fit in the fractal north. A 4090 barely fits. Gotta to some maneuvering to get it in

[plain gale]

rumors are the coolers will stay the same as the 40 series coolers were overbuild

[austere shale]

Sweet, because the cooler on the 4090 only has about 10mm of clearance. And I really like the fractal north so I wouldn’t wanna change cases

[split swift]

Power limit it to 100 watts and reduce clocks by 90%

[austere shale]

Honestly tempted to do it. I wanna see if it’ll act goofy

[river sluice]

I also hope a 5090 fits in my case. I have a 3080ti rn

I have a Fractal Pop Air XL

[austere shale]

Idk what case you have but with my 4090 some brands would fit while others would not, I had to shop around a bit

[river sluice]

^ lol

[austere shale]

My b I had it typed out as you sent that and I didn’t wanna retype the whole message

[river sluice]

It's fine lol

[austere shale]

Also really look into it, most places said my gpu wouldn’t fit but then one guy said it fits if you remove the front drive bays, and sure enough it did

[river sluice]

I don't have to worry about the drive bays as they are in the PSU shroud

I have a bunch of room in front of my 3080ti but we'll see how big the 5090s are

[river sluice]

Or rather they were, I removed them to populate the 5.25 bays

[austere shale]

Yea, I also hope I can either sell/ trade in my gpu to microcenter for a fair price come that time

[river sluice]

Newegg also does trade ins but obviously MC would be better since you wouldn't have to mail it

[austere shale]

Yea and i remember MC being super fair too, i checked maybe a month ago and it said they’d give me like $1300. Which for a trade in isn’t bad at all

[river sluice]

I think Newegg for a 4090 was 1350 or something like that so yeah MC pretty good. I don't have one near me tho

[austere shale]

Yea closest one to me is still like 3 hours with traffic. But I’m sure your drive is probably further

[river sluice]

Think it might be 4 or something like that, lemme check. I just don't have time to drive all that time for something like that.

[austere shale]

Yea I seldom have a free weekend to do stuff like that but I’m blesssed with a girlfriend that can take care of the house if I ever wanna drive down and back after work one day

[river sluice]

2.5 actually but in the middle of Cambridge MA

[austere shale]

That’s not too bad, the closest one to me is in Chicago. And with no traffic it would be like an hour and a half. But the traffic is literally always terrible and almost always doubles the drive time

[river sluice]

Probably with traffic it would be 3 or 4 depending on time of day

[austere shale]

It took me an hour to go 10 miles one time. I almost parked my car and hopped on one of the rentable electric scooters to finish the drive

[river sluice]

I also have to share the car with the family so I can't really take it that far

You said that already

[austere shale]

Dudes out here causing a ruckus and it’s not even 9am

[river sluice]

Was gonna say really needs attention that bad?

[austere shale]

The crackheads aren’t even up yet

[hearty spear]

That's my local shop!

[river sluice]

Noice

[hearty spear]

I can drive there in sub-20 minutes

[river sluice]

I guess it's my semi-local shop lol

[austere shale]

Meet each other half way for deals

[river sluice]

Lol

[hearty spear]

(but I work near the NH Border lol)

[river sluice]

I live in VT so lol

[hearty spear]

nice

[austere shale]

Lmao scrolled back up to see if dude got banned and he did

[river sluice]

Figured as much

[dusty mica]

Hey guys, wanted some help.
I've got this build - https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/4X89Jn
But I see this offer from CC and was wondering if I should just upgrade to this bundle with my current setup. Would the offer be worth it? https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/amd-desktop-processors/264182/amd-r7-7700x-cpu-asus-tuf-gaming-b650m-e-wifi-motherboard-t-force-32gb-d5-6000mhz-cl30-ram-bundlespecial.html

[austere shale]

I mean a better cpu is always gonna be better. Idk how it’ll pair with your gpu since I am uninformed when it comes to AMD GPUs

[velvet wharf]

hello

[austere shale]

Hi

[velvet wharf]

is an hp victus reliable

[obsidian oracle]

i dont see why not

[velvet wharf]

some people say the hinges are garbage but I think they’re just slamming their laptop when they close it

[obsidian oracle]

its not that, its that they buy a laptop

thats the problem to fix 😉

[velvet wharf]

huh

so ur saying I should get a pc

[obsidian oracle]

yeah

[bronze narwhal]

Hi can someone help me (or lets say my friend), if he boots his pc his mouse and keyboard light up 1 second.
After the pc is booted up, only his monitor is on but both mouse and keyboard is off and he cant fix it

[velvet wharf]

it’s more expensive

[obsidian oracle]

its not when you buy used and build it yourself

also remember that "same name parts" like 4060 gpu is performing more on desktop

because its not power limited

[velvet wharf]

well by like 10%

[obsidian oracle]

including all gpus, its mobile version of that gpu

[plain gale]

you will probably receive help if you make a post in #1027757333117415424

[obsidian oracle]

not the case always

[velvet wharf]

either way I’d need to get a monitor

[obsidian oracle]

yea

[velvet wharf]

also a whole table since I don’t have that

[obsidian oracle]

its gonna cost less when you buy used and put it togethey yourself

[obsidian oracle]

10$

[velvet wharf]

I wish bro

[obsidian oracle]

k make it 20 bruh 💀

[velvet wharf]

hell nah like 100

dude I live in dubai

[obsidian oracle]

ur gonna get 20% more performance for the money, stop minding having a proper posture as a problem

[velvet wharf]

shit is not cheap

Ok

@obsidian oracle where should I get used parts from, like Facebook?

[obsidian oracle]

that works, wherever is the market for your place

[velvet wharf]

alright

[silent roost]

hi!

[velvet wharf]

he

[prime solstice]

A rog ally with a z1 extreme is $599 cad

[steel marsh]

how much is the steam deck oled

[hushed pecan]

Yo

[unreal crescent]

550usd 512gb oled, 650usd 1tb oled

[oblique dock]

Hi all

[slim steppe]

hi

[pallid falcon]

Mine was 600 usd ish

[slim steppe]

does anyone know if valve plans to reduce the price on the steam deck for black friday/cyber monday?

[prime solstice]

$689 cad for 512 or $819 cad for 1tb

[lilac bear]

you can just get the 512GB and then swap out the nvme yourself

and buy like a 2TB one

reinstall Proton or SteamOS whatever it uses

[prime solstice]

I got the 256gb lcd and I gave it a 1tb nvme ssd

[pallid falcon]

Valve probably knows

[soft ocean]

roughly how much storage space would i need to archive all of floatplane at 1080p 60fps on a plex server?

[graceful burrow]

Better off asking in #floatplane but you and I don't have that role

Only blueberries do

But if you're looking to download from floatplane you'd be able to link your account and access the channel

[fossil frost]

Also, why would you want to do...

[vapid smelt]

I'm a true Chad and got the 64gb and installed a 512gb SSD

[graceful burrow]

The actual Chad's make due with the 64gb and use a 512gb SD card

[civic fox]

me here with 256gb of internal and 1tb sd card

[graceful burrow]

I'd like to get a 512gb card for it but it's technically not my steam deck even though I have complete full reign

[strong fjord]

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hello

[rigid inlet]

Got the base OLED with a 512gb SD card

[vapid smelt]

I originally did that but wanted faster main storage

[graceful burrow]

I'd like more main storage, the 64gb is mostly taken by the os and then it keeps filling because of shaders

And if you let it fully fill the deck starts bootlooping and there's nothing you can do except re-image it

I've gotten really good at trimming data

[halcyon canyon]

should i go to greece

nvm ill go to turkey

is 192gb ram too little for a 3050

i had to get extra ram slots to fit so many

[tired glade]

I mean,192gb of ram will cost more than 3050

[halcyon canyon]

hm il get a 4080 super then

how many rams`

or should i wait for the 50 sereis

[tired glade]

Have you heard of balance the concept?

[halcyon canyon]

tho with the tariffs it might get expensive

[halcyon canyon]

concept of what

oh yes

so shold i wait for 50 series

[tired glade]

50-series will be after 7 of January, hoping before 20

[halcyon canyon]

so it will be released after the 7th of january

[tired glade]

Announcement should be around 7,if Nvidia isn't putting their press conference the last thing on CES

[halcyon canyon]

oh so annoucnment is on the 7th

when will it be for sale

[tired glade]

Maybe*

[halcyon canyon]

ok

[tired glade]

There is an indication that 5090 already shipped

[halcyon canyon]

oh

so is iit worth it to wait?

for the 5080

[tired glade]

2k for GPU is a lot

[prime solstice]

Nice I’m planning on getting the rog ally and potentially installing steam os on it or something

[tired glade]

Hoping 5080 below 1500

[halcyon canyon]

so more expensive then 4080

[tired glade]

And will be without competition for this gen

[halcyon canyon]

so should i wait

[austere shale]

God I fucking hate spectrum, paying for 1000mbps down, because of the shitty line ran through the building I’m only getting 480, I call to downgrade since why am I paying for this, and they tell me “oh because of this promotion you’re getting its actually gonna be more expensive for you to downgrade” like mfs why in the fuck is your internet $90 a month to begin with

[tired glade]

Decide on Nvidia CES stream

[halcyon canyon]

damn it took u like 8 minutes to write that

change itnernet use optimum

[austere shale]

I’m pretty sure spectrum is the only one around here

[halcyon canyon]

are u in america

[austere shale]

Yea

[halcyon canyon]

r u sure

where do u live in like tennesee or something

[austere shale]

I’m fairly confident in my building at least all I can get is spectrum

[halcyon canyon]

hm

well that sucks

get one of those extra router things for 30 dollars a month

home air wifi or something like that

i installed a bunch in fathers store they are pretty good

from either tmobile or att

tmbole is better

[silver sun]

326

[austere shale]

I’ve looked at these but I worry about latency since it’s just going off cell networks

It should also be illegal to advertise like $50 a month for 1 year. Without telling you what it goes up to after that 1 year

Even the 1000mbps plan I have rn is advertised as $70 a month for 1 year. How in the fuck is my bill $90 then?? Like I’m looking at my bill and of course everything has these obtuse names. I’m paying 87.99 for spectrum internet, but oooo they’re tacking on $30 for “spectrum internet gig” are those not the same things?

I just looked at my bill from my previous place and it was $40 a month. When my promotion is up in January I’m gonna cancel my service, then open it back up the next day to get the entry promo again this shit is wild

[halcyon canyon]

i think they changed the law now

they cant do that

[halcyon canyon]

you could call them and say " oh tmobile home ineternet is cheaper at "--". if you donnt give me a better deal i will go to them. i probablty will work and they will match the price

i do it every few years

[austere shale]

I gotta do something, it might be best to go in person, I feel like the people over the phone are trained to manipulate you to the best of their ability

[fossil frost]

that always depends on which customer retention agent you get, and how close they are to their weekly/monthly target... if they are already over their target, you will get "ok, cya later"

[halcyon canyon]

ok worth a try tho i guess

[fossil frost]

if you are going to threaten to leave, you need to be prepared to actually leave

[halcyon canyon]

i mean not neccesarily

you could just say you will leave

and if they say no just like hang up[

[austere shale]

I mean I’ll do it, my building has free wifi it’s just super super not secure

[halcyon canyon]

lmfao i would expect

do u live in a apartment complex

[austere shale]

The fucked up thing is it’s fast as hell tho, but yea you just plug into the wall and are connected to the buildings network, no security. And yes it’s an apartment

[halcyon canyon]

vpn?

[austere shale]

Comes back to the speed thing

[fossil frost]

if i lived there, i would 100% be attacking that network, just to see if i could, and just to see what other people are doing, and i guarantee that im not the only one to think like that

[austere shale]

I’ve thought about it, especially when the complex managers are pissing me off. I’d just cause a bunch of headaches for them

[halcyon canyon]

a good vpn is fast

its all fun and games until u see half the building on the hub

[fossil frost]

whats wrong with them doing that? if thats how they wanna spend their evening, thats up to them

[austere shale]

One thing that’s been pissing me off is the heat. It’s been like 20°f outside multiple days and the boilers for the radiators don’t stay on long enough to actually heat up anything. (I assume so they save money) so I figured out how to get into the boiler room and when I get home I turn their duty cycle up, and when I leave in the morning I turn it back down to avoid suspicion

[halcyon canyon]

im not saying its wrong i just said that you will probably see htat

[halcyon canyon]

lmfao

[fossil frost]

ive monitored the office internet connection in 2 of my previous jobs, an open sales office... people have visited far worse sites than that site, in the middle of an open office where its possible for anyone to see them

[fossil frost]

wire a raspberry pi into it, and remote control it 😛

[halcyon canyon]

dark web?

[halcyon canyon]

lmfao

have u ever been on the dark we

b

[fossil frost]

no, dogging websites, various "german" types of adult sites... and various other things i will probably get warshipped for saying

and yes, its not hard to find, or get onto

[austere shale]

You said German adult site that’s all I need to know

[halcyon canyon]

i think in america its allowed to go on the web if you dont engage in any of the criminal stuff

[fossil frost]

💩 💩 💩

[halcyon canyon]

r u in germany

[fossil frost]

the dark web is a name for the web that isnt reachable via the regular ways of getting to the web.. ie. you need particular software... its not inherently bad or good, same as the regular web... but because it is "hidden", its "easier" to do criminal things on it

but its just as easy to do criminal things on the regular web

[halcyon canyon]

oh

so you can go on all the same websites on the normal web

[austere shale]

Yes

[limber dagger]

Anyone here who is competent with software that relies on Microsoft SQL Server Express? I need help with my accounting database and I can offer reward if you help me. Thanks!

[halcyon canyon]

if ur not a scammer just go on youtube

[halcyon canyon]

why dont they just delete tor then

[fossil frost]

"the web" is a set of servers that run on port 80 or 448 and serve content that can be interpreted by a browser... and uses the industry standard DNS to locate those resources... "the dark web" uses different ports, and a different type of DNS... but still servers web content that can be interpreted by a browser, still runs over the internet... neither have any way of stopping you from being monitored, neither have any way of making monitoring easier... they are identical things, just using different ports, and different DNS and sometimes maybe a different transport protocol

[fossil frost]

tor isnt the dark web. tor is a trasport and routing protocol that allows you to look up, and access .onion domains.. thats it

[halcyon canyon]

yes

why dont they ban it tho so no one can acsess it

[fossil frost]

its still the regular internet, it just replaces DNS... and its run by the US DoD and FBI and partly the CIA

[halcyon canyon]

oh

[fossil frost]

the FBI runs the majority of exit nodes, which makes it super easy to catch dopey criminals who think they are hidden by using it, because they dont understand it

[austere shale]

Isn’t this why it’s always recommended to use an additional vpn?

[fossil frost]

only real way to not get caught doing illegal things is dont do illegal things... next best thing is, dont use tor at all, because its controlled by the people trying to catch you

[red sapphire]

[fossil frost]

also dont use any widely accessible thing that is used to bypass being caught, because... you are going to get caught by using that, because NSA 100% has people watching that for everyone else

[austere shale]

Good old patriot act

[pulsar violet]

was sitting in the sofa and saw a cyber truck drive by

[fossil frost]

you spotted your towns local dipshit

[pulsar violet]

funny part is, i live in canada where they salt the roads a crap ton…

[austere shale]

Go ask how underwater he is on the loan

[pulsar violet]

metal and salt don’t mix well

[pulsar violet]

lol

[fossil frost]

especially when they made it out of mild steel, instead of stainless, so it rots with just water, let alone salt water

[vapid smelt]

Same in utah, after all we do have one of the saltiest lakes and the salt flats

[pulsar violet]

yup those things are not gonna last long

[austere shale]

I wonder if anybody has tried putting a sacrificial anode on one

Big chunk of magnesium bolted to the frame

Or zinc

[vapid smelt]

I would imagine need one for every single body panel

[fossil frost]

that would require basic thought, which, if they bought a cybertruck, they are incapable of

[eager notch]

My mother is a monster

[fossil frost]

put her in a home

[austere shale]

I would like to assume because of how the body panels are affixed to the truck that you’d just need one? As long as they’re all grounded to each other it would work

[vapid smelt]

No clue

[red sapphire]

[austere shale]

Even stainless will rust eventually given the right conditions, working on the equipment I’ve even seen 316 stainless start to rust

It’s gonna be a curious thing to watch because this will be the first winter with them driving around correct? Like they came out summer of this year?

[fossil frost]

yeah, but, making it from stainless would have let it at least last the year before it started

the people who didnt paint them, are gonna see them turn to dust. and then tesla are gonna blame them for "not prperly caring for it"

[hearty spear]

owners were first seeing rust spots in weeks / couple months on the Cybershit.
Not even a year.

[fossil frost]

and, if tesla get sued.. IF someone is brave enough to bring that lawsuit against someone who is very good friends with a very pro-business president... how do we think that suit is going to go? immediately dismissed would be the BEST case for the people... but they would likely face a defamation counter suit

[sage quiver]

They absolutely are made of stainless steel.. but there are different grades.

[fossil frost]

are they? i read they were made out of effectively mild steal

[sage quiver]

Some kind of 300 series alloy

[fossil frost]

its possible what i read may have said something along the lines of "so bad that it may as well be mild steel" and my brain has remembered it as "its mild steel"

[sage quiver]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[austere shale]

It’ll all rust eventually anyways

[sage quiver]

Exactly

either way, it feels like your defence of them is telling us that you have one... 😄

Like Linus always says.. nothing is waterproof

Not even a rock

[austere shale]

I have a video of a 80s diesel Mercedes that says otherwise

[viscid elm]

throw a wet rock on a fire

[fossil frost]

rocks are notoriously not-waterproof (erosion)

[sage quiver]

I don't like vehicles that attract any kind of attention

irish people with access to a diy store that sells weed killer in the 1990s would disagree

Isn't he a minor

Ppl asking that are weird

[civic fox]

that guy isnt a minor

[winged spire]

Yeah he’s 19 or something

That being said, he absolutely WAS a minor when it started

💀

[civic fox]

yikes

[solid geode]

Any football watchers here

[winged spire]

Not a single person, no

[solid geode]

Welp gotta find a server with football fans then

[winged spire]

Idk if any of y’all follow space stuff but this seems to be the reason the last starship launch didn’t lead to a catch

That comms tower is NOT supposed to be tilted like that lol

[civic fox]

classic watermark

[winged spire]

Free watermarkly 😎

[civic fox]

watermarks are dumb

[winged spire]

You do much photography?

[civic fox]

i dont but if a image has a watermark i just remove it

[winged spire]

You don’t like crediting people’s creative works?

That’s (very) dumb

[civic fox]

i dont like watermarks on my wallpaper

[winged spire]

😂

[restive lion]

We got a guy to come do photography for a game and he watermarked all his images and refused to remove them so he didn't get paid and we binned all the photos

Stupid guy lmao

[winged spire]

Wait what 💀

He wanted to be paid AND keep his watermarks ?

[restive lion]

Yeah lmao

[winged spire]

That’s really funny hahah

[restive lion]

It wasn't even a non obnoxious one, he put his instagram handle right in the middle of the pictures with huge characters

I'm just imagining one of my camera guys (I work on the live tv side of things) slapping a watermark over the lens and then complaining when he gets fired

[pallid falcon]

Can u slap a lttstore logo on it

[restive lion]

[winged spire]

I agree

Actually no, put a betterlttstore.com

[pallid falcon]

U can interrupt the broadcast to tell them about this segue, to our sponsors

[lilac bear]

tbf you could use that AI stuff to remove watermarks

but results vary

[winged spire]

I just bought a liter of tequila in a 7-11 I love Mexico

[crystal pike]

does anyone here own a t14s gen 1

[restive lion]

Slap one of these on the lens

CHROMEBOOK DETECTED

[restive lion]

That's one expensive ass Chromebook

It's a MacBook Pro with a case on it

[winged spire]

Same thing

[restive lion]

[winged spire]

My HS had that exact same case on every single Chromebook lol you just gave me flashbacks to it

[crystal pike]

anyone with a ryzen 4500U laptop

[restive lion]

I use that because it makes it basically invulnerable to everything when it's backstage at events running control software

Shits fallen 10 feet off a ledge and been fine

[winged spire]

Theft deterrent as well

esp with the sticker over the logo

[lavish gull]

Is this a good monitor for the price? For esports games https://amzn.eu/d/4w4W8Uo

[restive lion]

(Now it got unplugged from the dock it was connected to and killed the lighting controller but hey it worked after plugging it back in)

[rough turret]

thats rare for an apple product

[winged spire]

Apple products are generally extremely durable

[restive lion]

Apple products are.. yeah

Especially with a case on it

[rough turret]

eitehr you're being sarcastic or im really unlucky

[restive lion]

Latter probably

[winged spire]

Expensive to repair, sure. But usually well built and durable

[restive lion]

I've never had an apple product break

[rough turret]

how bruh

[restive lion]

In a way that wasn't self caused anyways

[rough turret]

I've had like 5 break

[winged spire]

The MacBooks are CNCed chassis

Other laptop manufacturers are taking note

[rough turret]

2 macbooks, 1 ipad, 2 phones

[winged spire]

💀 what

[rough turret]

idk

im just unlucky ig

[restive lion]

I regret to inform you, you may have a skill issue

[winged spire]

Maybe electronics aren’t for you

Hahahah this ain’t a luck thing

[rough turret]

im bad at electronics then

[restive lion]

is this like the people who don't put screen protectors on their phones and then wonder why their screen got smashed

[rough turret]

💀

[pallid falcon]

Apple makes ok products but they're not for power users

[restive lion]

Also pretty wrong lol

[winged spire]

I use my Alienware m16r2 in my machine shop regularly, I’ve dropped 4” end mills on it from 2 feet covered it in metal chips

We chillin g

Idk how people break laptops

[civic fox]

my phones dont have them still not cracked 2 years later

[pallid falcon]

I need non app store apps & stuff

[restive lion]

I have no clue how people do software development on windows computers, windows itself makes it such a miserable experience

[winged spire]

Linux usually

[restive lion]

Macs literally do not care though

[civic fox]

linux is great

[pallid falcon]

I don't like macs much

[rough turret]

linux is my pookie bear

[graceful burrow]

Mac n cheese goes hard

[civic fox]

mac and cheese is nasty

[pallid falcon]

Ew

[restive lion]

Unfortunately I belong to the working class and actually need things like the ms suite

[graceful burrow]

L on an interplanetary scale, bud

[pallid falcon]

Nah

[civic fox]

ms suite is garbage imo but use whatever OS suits your needs

[restive lion]

I wasn't contesting it's garbageness

[civic fox]

lol

[winged spire]

Inb4

[restive lion]

I'd so much rather use google docs and sheets

[rough turret]

very to-scale graph

[restive lion]

But noooooooo

[winged spire]

Glad there are numbers there 🤷

[winged spire]

Docs sure but sheets is straight ass 💀

[restive lion]

Sheets is fine

[winged spire]

Sheets is the excel clone huh?

Yeah it’s horrible

[restive lion]

Most misuses of it are because people are trying to do things the way they did in excel

[winged spire]

Sheets is shet

[restive lion]

But it's just as powerful as anyone would need

[limber dagger]

Not a scammer, somone is helping me, a nice dude in cybersecurity with solid abilities, thanks tho

[restive lion]

You're not even missing out on being able to write code against it

[civic fox]

libre office or open office is what i use

[fossil frost]

you know what a really good use for AI would be... an AI "noise" filter, that filtered out dogs barking on TV... that i could have on my tv... because when dogs bark on TV, my two idiot dogs start barking back at them

[sudden gazelle]

The new MS suite is bad

I use the 2016 version

[vital oak]

it’s a pc not a windows pc

no pc is a windows pc

[winged spire]

What

[vital oak]

no pc is a windows pc

the graph says windows pc

[winged spire]

I’ll be happy to send you the email of the creator so you can file your formal complaint

Just let me know

[prime solstice]

What about the ones Microsoft makes

[lethal flint]

hi

[halcyon canyon]

[full fossil]

[graceful burrow]

It doesn't to my knowledge

[smoky badge]

It does

[full fossil]

when im trying to join on my new account i get instantly kicked

and the ltt forums say the same thing

[graceful burrow]

Well alts aren't allowed here so don't do that

[full fossil]

its not an alt, im just transfering my account

[fossil frost]

the same person with 2 of the same account, is considered an alt, no matter what you call it

[shut birch]

for what

[full fossil]

im to unorganized to manage multiple accounts lol

[full fossil]

well considering this account is getting deleted in 5 minutes

[vital oak]

but why man

[full fossil]

idk just feel like it

[vital oak]

4 yo account

[fierce moth]

I have a 2016 account 😭

[full fossil]

id sell it but thats against tos

and also its not worth anything

[vital oak]

then Just Keep It mane

[fossil frost]

why not just have 1 account, and use that 1 account

[lilac bear]

it's me

please no ban for alt

[viscid elm]

just a reminder

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/808903373448282142
13. Alt accounts are not allowed in the LTT Discord. If an alt account is found for any reason, it will likely be permanently banned, and further action may be taken upon the main account.

[smoky badge]

Probably to prevent people from spamming or trolling

[full fossil]

[vital oak]

[full fossil]

[stoic mural]

Hi

[lilac bear]

ew old people

[urban lion]

Hello

[prime solstice]

My dad has one of those it’s in the laundry room next to my room i believe it was my dads cousins pc or his

[lilac bear]

I bet it can't even run Wukong

[prime solstice]

No but it can run doom

[pliant karma]

The DP would like a word with you.

[quasi parcel]

live yt shorts are actual brain rotting content

[lilac bear]

your algo is cooked

[wet wagon]

hello everyone

[dusk rover]

hi!

[tiny shell]

😌

[manic torrent]

Yeah there was a whole lot of other shit other than the style going on

It isn't like today

Also I don't need to build them now - I was there.

80s era is the birth of larger market home PCs at all. Early 80s you're looking at a huge array of stuff. Early 90s is the heyday of early x86, amazing changes and some awesome games.

[pliant leaf]

How can someone be so utterly based and so impossibly cringe at the same time

The duality of man i guess

[deft talon]

Hi!

[smoky badge]

Hi

[scarlet crane]

Hello everyone!

[tiny shell]

wdym😭

[pliant leaf]

Death stranding: based

Gacha shit: cringe

I would say phone gaming itself is cringe but nowadays there's solutions for that

[tiny shell]

i play them both at the same time 💀

[trim crow]

is there any information on if/when the precision bit set + case will be restocked? If not, what would be some good alternatives (Ill still buy the screwdriver on its own)

[sturdy nebula]

Hello everyone!

[full fossil]

why would you rat yourself out

[dense quail]

Who would actively want to play a game on their phone tho

...like does this version of death stranding have touch screen controls?

[dense quail]

I specifically mean AAA, immersive games like death stranding

[full fossil]

Yes it does, these iPhone ports of PC games also run like shit

[tiny shell]

on iPhone it runs like shit but iPad is fine

It has on screen controls but it’s lame

if i rlly gotta play it i just use a controller

[tiny shell]

like fr at 720p 30fps

[timid cliff]

Hi

[cursive pumice]

hello

[zealous peak]

[low cedar]

hi o/

[full fossil]

i need help

my phone screen almost always get non responsive when it is on the start screen and the battery sucks what should i do and it is a iphone xs

[civic fox]

buy new phone

[lilac bear]

repairshop or buy Galaxy A/Pixel and suffer the same fate

[full fossil]

what is wrong with pixel and galaxy a

[lilac bear]

Pixel uses a previous generation midranger chipset
Galaxy A is a midranger

generally phones suck outside of flagships

but flagships cost a lot

[full fossil]

what about used

[lilac bear]

it's a gamble on if there's damage but generally a nice thing to do

[fierce moth]

now thats a fast external ssd

[civic fox]

the fastest mine goes is 125

[fierce moth]

my external ssd is a t7 shield
solid ssd tbqh

[pliant karma]

Nice I got one too sucker fast.

And 2 sandisk extremes

[lilac bear]

SanDisk hahaha

Samsung > any SSD doofus

[mint yacht]

No, optane > any SSD

[pliant karma]

lol I just use the sandisk drives for Blackmagic and Sony cameras to record externally. That’s all I got them for when they were discounted.

Samsung T7 is the main project drive.

[lilac bear]

only a T7?

there's better Samsung drives
