Guys dyk when the 3060 released and it was worse than the 2070 but after some time the driver updates made it better, will this happen between the 3070 and 4060?

[lilac bear]

furry

so it's a weird colonialism thing
modern day it's just eating food with family and remembering to be thankful for what you have
but it's on the premise of colonists gifting natives food
which is also horrible because we also killed so many natives

it's like ancient virtue signaling

Good question

Maybe #1027757333117415424 could help you

[lilac bear]

[unreal goblet]

Wait is this client sided or do I just not have ANY roles on the server? 💀

[round bridge]

You have no roles

[unreal goblet]

Guys, the Apple M4s kick ass and I want a M4 Pro (probably 12/16, not 14/20) with 24GB: Question: MacMini or MacBook 14/16 for mainly use at home (living room / bedroom). I would hook it to my OLED, like my TV in the living room but otherwise would only be able use it with my iPad with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. But how practical is that, really? (Creative conclave in my windows network, mostly 2D/3D, gamedev, programming, music, little video, CAD, electronics, etc., not that it matters)

[unreal goblet]

uuuh
round about "not at all/10"

imo

[acoustic pond]

I want a klondike bar right now

[sick moat]

I got an MX Keys and some Logitech BT mouse with an 11" iPad pro and used Steam Link, kinda rough on windows - hoped it'd be better with MacOS

[unreal goblet]

I mean, given you can control it via an iPad it would make sense, but really you should get it hooked up to a desktop setup and just stream it to the TV and THEN control it via an iPad, this way you get the best of both worlds

A good desktop plus a good TV setup

[sick moat]

Yeah problem would only be using it from the bedroom, cause it'd be hooked to a G3 OLED in the living room

Where my Gaming PC is also located

[unreal goblet]

Honestly I'd just hook it up to the gaming setup and get a KVM

[acoustic pond]

or just get a steam deck with a dock, problem solved

[unreal goblet]

Not an M4 though, and they want an M4

[acoustic pond]

but steam decks are great...

[obsidian oracle]

always, have fun abusing it

[unreal goblet]

THEY ARE NOT M4 MACS THOUGH >:((

[sick moat]

Hooking it to the TV is A-Okay, gonna work great! Problem is using the MacMini from the bedroom remotely ☹️ MacBook would be portable

I mean, sure I could also move the MacMini to the bedroom and have some extra cables and kb/mouse there xD but that would be strange

[unreal goblet]

[and trice the price at best]

[sick moat]

move it back and forth - its small at least

It's "only" $1000 extra having it in a notebook form factor with probably slightly less cooling?

[empty garnet]

hi

[acoustic pond]

but are they a M5 mac that will likely come out next year?

[unreal goblet]

KVM, switch between your gaming pc, the macmini and remotely stream via idfk something like TeamView or AnyDesk to the TV

[acoustic pond]

I used to have my 2011 mac mini server hooked up to my tv as a media center, to me it looks a lot nicer too then just having a laptop plugged in but thats just me

[heady quest]

Does anyone have good Pre-Built Recommendatios for this Black Friday?

[unreal goblet]

THEY NO M4 = NOT M4 ENOUGH :((

[acoustic pond]

check out micro center if one is local to you, they hasve some pretty nice prebuilds, they can have a pc part picker and can build it for you

[heady quest]

Alright

[acoustic pond]

Funny my ex told me the same thing when she left me...

[sick moat]

Lol, guess I'm kinda complicated here: I'd probably use a MacBook for work in the livingroom and bedroom while watching either TV vs. using the MacMini on the TV in the livingroom while watching TV on the iPad or using the iPad for remote work in the bedroom while watching TV 🤣

[unreal goblet]

Same

[unreal goblet]

:((

[acoustic pond]

why not just get a apple tv and stream your macbook to it or something?

[unreal goblet]

Do you have 2k for a macbook? If yes, get one

otherwise not

[sick moat]

I actually got an AppleTV in both!

I have 6k to get them all but .. why

[acoustic pond]

so why do you need to hook up your macbook pro to it or a mac mini?

[unreal goblet]

cuz portable?

[sick moat]

I've never seen the apple tv being used like -- a dock? 😄

[acoustic pond]

sorry im a bit lost, what are you trying to accomplish again?

[unreal goblet]

Basically just M4 Mac for a TV setup

[acoustic pond]

but they have a apple tv on that TV? So why not just stream from the M4 Mac wherever to that apple tv?

or macbook pro etc

[grim belfry]

Why....?

[sick moat]

Nooooo

[unreal goblet]

oh, my bad then

[sick moat]

MacBook for work while watching TV in either room. OR MacMini: On TV in the living room while watching TV on the iPad or remote on iPad while watching regular TV in the bedroom xD sorry

[heady quest]

One is like 2 Hours away

[unreal goblet]

better than a 6 hours flight as its the case for me :)

[heady quest]

… dayum

[sick moat]

I don't think there's one on my continent

[civic fox]

i have one a 1 hour from me

down in the cities

[sick moat]

MacMini vs MacBook 14 in my spec is "only" ~700 difference, by the way 🤔

[obsidian oracle]

700 being usd?

[sick moat]

euros

[obsidian oracle]

go the 3rd option and buy a desktop pc

[sick moat]

5900x, 32GB, 3080TI

out of my cycle for an update currently

[unreal goblet]

Skill Issue, I got a 5950X 🗿

[Those 4 cores make a huge difference :d]

[sick moat]

Indeed, because I wasn't really paying attention to that one 500 bucks xD

[fossil frost]

In production workloads, yes, in gaming, not at all

[obsidian oracle]

already got it?

[sick moat]

yea, it's a 2021 build or something?

[unreal goblet]

STOP DESTROYING MY DREAMS MEANIE :((

[unreal goblet]

but yeah true

[sick moat]

I render and compile stuff, it's a legit point

[obsidian oracle]

and u find it outdated?

or not outdated enough for update

[sick moat]

Not really right now. I'd be glad with a mac on the side for a couple of years until we get the 8600x 4d Ultra and RTX 6080 TTIIx2

[obsidian oracle]

why mac on side when u can get another desktop on the side ✨

[sick moat]

Variety xD

Nah, for fun I guess

[obsidian oracle]

it will be a costly and wasted fun

[sick moat]

And to isolate my creative work from my dirty windows machines xD

Yeah, but which config is more wasted fun? Remoting into a MacMini 50% of the time or having a "only" a MacBook 100% of the time

[obsidian oracle]

remoting? why do that

[sick moat]

MacMini on G3 OLED in the living room and remote on iPad in the bedroom or working on an MacBook in either room

[obsidian oracle]

buh why

just move the macbook to living room

[sick moat]

Yeah I'd use the macbook for work in both rooms and probably not on the tv in either. But I'd use the Mini on the TV in the livingroom but not move it to the bedroom ever so i can only remote in from the bedroom

[unreal goblet]

and why not remote to the tv?

[sick moat]

Yeah, I could probably remote to the mini from either TV or have it connected to one and remote into from the other and still use the iPad for TV - fair point

The issue probably comes down to: Is it any good to use a MacMini remotely - i've used Steam Link on iPad 11" to remote into my gaming pc and it kinda sucked on 5 GHz WLAN with my shitty logitech mx keys and bt mouse

[acoustic pond]

I think you are overthinking this @sick moat

[unreal goblet]

yeah

[sick moat]

Yeah

[acoustic pond]

yeah

[obsidian oracle]

That's my jam. Ask anyone

I don't even have a mac yet xD

[obsidian oracle]

i just said yeah to say yeah, i love overthinking tech stuff

[acoustic pond]

best thing ive heard you say so far

[sick moat]

Though mine has a riddiculus 8gb ram at 1800mhz plus the fan sounds like its about to vaporize the battery life

[acoustic pond]

I have a old thinkpad 490E that I got for a 100 bucks 2 years ago and I maxed out the ram to 32GB of ddr4, put in a 2TB SSD for linux and then a 256GB nvme ssd for windows

Guys, 14" or 16" and why?

[obsidian oracle]

server?

1u rack?

[acoustic pond]

i'm at work now so im only semi here

[manic torrent]

14", because it's a laptop. If I wanted a desktop, I'd buy a desktop.

[acoustic pond]

you wouldent want a beefy 19" laptop?

[manic torrent]

Now, if your use case doesn't involve external monitors and blah blah and it's your only device? 16 might be better for you

[manic torrent]

my personal laptop is an XPS13

i went with a ASUS vivobook s 16 flip

perfectly cromulent, except for the fucking wavesmaxx audio bullshit

I'm about to install linux on it

because windows is irritating

[civic fox]

what distro?

damn bots

[silver sun]

327

[sick moat]

Ugh. At least upgrading my 5900x to a 5950x and getting a RTX 5080 to play GTA VI when it's out is back on the table, boys

[manic torrent]

probably just ubuntu because idgaf

[fossil frost]

people dislike ubuntu because its popular.. and its popular to dislike popular things

[civic fox]

fair enough maybe remove snap tho

[fossil frost]

but the thing is, its popular for a reason

[civic fox]

i dislike it because it forces snap and makes it hard for flatpak

[fossil frost]

no need to remove snap, just... never use it, because its fucking terrible

[civic fox]

other than that its fine

[manic torrent]

yeah, I mean, I don't need to OMG HAXOR on my laptop, my laptop is just a device for doing shit

[civic fox]

i prefer fedora personally

[manic torrent]

I do omg haxor on any number of other devices and servers

[fossil frost]

and it doesnt force you to use snap at all, it comes with it, but doesnt force it at all

[manic torrent]

forced

ubuntu came to me in my sleep and threatened me

[civic fox]

it broke when i tried to enable flatpak and then remove snap because i dont want it

[fossil frost]

that was me

[fossil frost]

odd, because i removed snap yesterday when i reinstalled to diagnose some issues.. and my system runs fine without it

[manic torrent]

oh bb, you know what I like

[civic fox]

this happened quite some time ago so idfk if its still an issue or not but i have settled on fedora for my laptop and nobara for my gaming rig

[fossil frost]

using fedora is 100% your choice, i give zero shits about what distro you run, im just pointing out that your experience is not the usual experience

[civic fox]

yea thats fair i could have ran the wrong command or smth

i dont remember but thats what happened last time i tried to use it

[kindred ridge]

Were gonna run multiple 4k monitors on a single graphics card

[fossil frost]

i dont like snap because of the complete and total isolation that you get by default... if i run discord as a snap, i cant drag and drop images over it, because of the process isolation. if i have 2 different snap apps that i want them to talk to each other... noope...

[civic fox]

yea that makes it quite difficult

[fossil frost]

and i dont like that its effectively docker for desktop apps, i dont need effectively a full OS and all the dependancies for an app to ship with the app...

[manic torrent]

ok? so what?

[manic torrent]

It's not a full OS, but... yeah

[manic torrent]

all meaningful abstractions are leaky 🙂

[supple pawn]

Wouldn't the easy solution be to install the deb package instead of snap?

[manic torrent]

Yes

[supple pawn]

I dislike snap for other reasons, however. Prefer deb or flatpak

[manic torrent]

I hate snap because it's cool to hate snap

[civic fox]

fedora is good tho

[royal hamlet]

It is*, I just switched to it recently and that meme was my announcement to my friend group LOL

(sorry spelling error)

[civic fox]

lmao was just about to say smth else until you edited it

[royal hamlet]

Okay I'll be real, I'm not very fussy with Linux. Main reason I hated pop was that it only officially supports gnome as a DE as I don't like gnome. I know there's Kubuntu but Red Hat has an officially supported KDE Fedora version

[civic fox]

i dont like gnome much either but pop os limited me quite a bit in some aspects of daily use

[manic torrent]

Did it?

[civic fox]

it did yes

[manic torrent]

Daily use is like... Browser windows, terminals, vscode ... What are you doing

[civic fox]

schoolwork which is a bunch of windows open books open terminal etc gnome makes it really difficult for me to do all that

[supple pawn]

I'm a pleb who uses cinnamon

[civic fox]

LOL

[fossil frost]

never had that issue with gnome at all.. i use ubuntu for work, and i have 10s of browser windows and 10s of tabs in each of those, many terminal windows, many instances of vscode with many tabs open in there too... never had an issue

[civic fox]

multi-tasking on gnome doesnt work well enough for me

plus kde gives me the customisation i prefer

[fossil frost]

works well enough for me to use it as a professional software developer, working on a massive global enterprise application for a multibillion dollar company

works well enough for 100s of 1000s of other people all round the world doing similar things too

[civic fox]

i guess its down to preference at this point

[fossil frost]

yep, it is

[royal hamlet]

It's almost like different people have different needs and preferences

[fossil frost]

"i prefer kde over gnome" is a vastly different statement to "gnome is bad at multitasking"

[civic fox]

on the laptop i had it was bad i havent tried it on my new one

[royal hamlet]

They said the multitasking doesn't work well for them

[royal hamlet]

Linux on laptops is soooooooo hit or miss

[civic fox]

sometimes it can be

[fossil frost]

which is still suggesting that there is a difference between the multitasking between gnome at kde... and given that neither of those manage your multitasking... is just incorrect, and entirely down to personal preference on your choice of window manager and how the window manager feels

[royal hamlet]

Idk I think we are splitting hairs here

[surreal island]

Should I get the 7900 xt or the xtx

[fossil frost]

depends on the price, and if you need the extra x

[surreal island]

About the 150 more for the xtx

[supple pawn]

What is the use case?

[surreal island]

4k gaming

[fossil frost]

GN call the xtx a "greedy upsell", best answer you could probably get is to watch this video and make your own decision: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7DjJR3zpCw

[surreal island]

Is the 7900 gre a ok gpu?

I know no where never the 7900 xt

[supple pawn]

Yes. A bit below the xt as I recall, but not bad

[kindred ridge]

That’s the last thing Linus said before dropping the 3090

[manic torrent]

"multitasking doesn't work well" .. WHAT?

[obsidian oracle]

sure, tho 4090 is okayer

[obsidian oracle]

xtx for 4k gaming is a better choice

[fossil frost]

also costs significantly more

[supple pawn]

4090 is overkill for pretty much everything tho

[obsidian oracle]

exactly, buy more to save more!

[civic fox]

it doesnt work well for me i'm not generalizing it

[surreal island]

Can the 7700 cpu handle the 7900 gre

[manic torrent]

and you can't be any more specific

[obsidian oracle]

downscaling from something above 4k to 4k then 😋

[civic fox]

why would i need to

[obsidian oracle]

unless u already max out to like 80 fps on 4k

[supple pawn]

Why wouldn't it?

[surreal island]

Just didn’t know if it bottle necked

[supple pawn]

Depends on the type of load tbh

[fossil frost]

because you are saying that a window manager, something that has nothing to do with your ability to multitask, is affecting your ability to multitask

[supple pawn]

At 4k, I probably would worry more about gpu than cpu

[civic fox]

yes and? i dont like it i shouldnt have to explain to others why

use gnome if you want use whatever DE suits your needs

[supple pawn]

Don't feed the guy, he just likes to argue

[civic fox]

fair enough

[fossil frost]

no, im just trying to find out why they are effectively saying "i dont like to eat oranges, because they make my car run wierd"

the two things are completely unrelated

[manic torrent]

you can not like it, but you were specific in that it wasn't good at multitasking for you - something that doesn't make sense to a neutral observer, because it doesn't have any specific meaning.

[chrome bison]

can we swap a TN panel on laptop with LED lol?

[civic fox]

yes the key word is for me. it doesnt work for me. now if it works for you or anyone else thats great

[manic torrent]

it's possible, but the real world answer for you is no.

[chrome bison]

then i think i need to upgrade my laptop

I don't game much I mostly want it for productivity purposes so I Was thinking Surface Pro Laptop

[supple pawn]

Lol swapping panels on a laptop is pretty terrible unless the manufacturer happens to make a different panel which will bolt right on in place of an existing one and which has the same connector. And good luck with that lol

[chrome bison]

its an Asus vivobook

[manic torrent]

yes, hence 'real world answer is no'

[civic fox]

i have a vivobook its quite a nice laptop honestly

[supple pawn]

That's half the problem, you're gonna have a Dickens of a time even find out if the mounting and connector are the same without buying and hoping. Asus probably ain't gonna tell you.

[chrome bison]

hmm ok

Yeah its a nice laptop ive never had any issues and always kept it updated etc

its been with me for 2 years

[brave nymph]

Hi. Long time viewer here. Just joined the server because I kept forgetting they own a server. 🤣

[supple pawn]

Feel free to research, I'm not saying it's impossible just highly improbable.

[manic torrent]

So in summary, "it's possible, but the real world answer for you is no." 😄

[chrome bison]

lol

[fossil frost]

if its a very popular make and model, you MIGHT be lucky and find that some manufacturer on somewhere like aliexpress makes replacement panels for it as an OLED or something like that, but theres very few that actually get it

[summer folio]

TN is LED.

[chrome bison]

sorry I meant to say LED to OLED

tbh its not worth it at that cost I can buy a new laptop lol

[supple pawn]

Well, yes, but I prefer to give lengthy, needlessly drawn out answers 🤣

[summer folio]

Yeah, I always recon' most importante thing on a laptop is making sure you buy an IPS monitor one, or maybe that also includes OLED ones nowadays

[lilac bear]

much easier to just.. buy a new laptop with LED panel included

[fossil frost]

probably cheaper too

[supple pawn]

Just buy a Mac. It's all you'll ever need.

New build, ran into some money and basically building the machine the 16 year old me would want lol

Aiming for 9950X3D and a 5090

So this won't be finished until March or so

Running a 11700kf and 3080 atm, but what the hell.

[patent violet]

Its funny how long it took for "Reverse Blade" fans to become a thing

[eager notch]

I feel called out

[patent violet]

A normal thing anyways

[lilac bear]

as long as it has 16GB then yeah

[summer folio]

Mac OS is such an unoptimized OS you need 16GB RAM?
Only Windows do just fine on 8GB?

[restive lion]

What sort of piss take is this

[civic fox]

the browser alone will eat 80% of that ram

[lilac bear]

bait used to be believable

[steady niche]

[acoustic pond]

man don't get banned from the server on your first day here

[manic torrent]

wow that's interesting, do you have a newsletter to which I could subscribe?

You can achieve this

[acoustic pond]

Sure and don't forget about the black friday sale going on now at lttstore.com!

[obsidian oracle]

you are

[acoustic pond]

oh funny seeing you here on this server, whats up man

[patent violet]

Hallo

[lilac bear]

sigh time to buy another banana plush

[patent violet]

I didnt even realize it was you until you said something

Completely glazed the name

[acoustic pond]

There is only one forkbomb

[golden talon]

its actually kinda nice how good the macbook speakers are

[patent violet]

Ive been doing that at work too for some reason. I havent been reading the names of whos talking to me

[golden talon]

the only laptop thats ever made me not want to listen on headphones

not many laptops have subwoofers these days

[patent violet]

It has lead to some interesting interactions

[acoustic pond]

Its ok I just @ names at my work automatically on teams and dont actually read their names either

[patent violet]

We have a bunch of people with the same name so it gets interesting

Teams is not consistent on the order which it throws their name up either

I also hate how it automatically adds your last name

it looks so agressive when you ping someone.

You can remove it by double tapping the backspace but its annoying

[acoustic pond]

or how its in red too when you @ someone? lol

[patent violet]

yeah fr

[steady niche]

wdym bruh

[acoustic pond]

just do what I do, just add a smiley face emoji at the end and you are good, like, "Oh this server is totally fucked 🙂 "

or "You really messed this up well didn't you? :)"

[acoustic pond]

sorry but no one cares about your online store

[obsidian oracle]

role color

[steady niche]

why man ?
is intrro prohibited here ?

[lilac bear]

this server will show you no mercy

[obsidian oracle]

advertising is not allowed, no matter what you advertise as a business

they be watchin

[acoustic pond]

they protect, but more importantly they attac....

[steady niche]

bruh did i advertise anytin?

[lilac bear]

I watch yur mum

[obsidian oracle]

idk, mods will tell

im just repasting rules here

[acoustic pond]

people read the rules here?

[obsidian oracle]

ones that theyre in

[obsidian oracle]

ask to people, idk

[fossil frost]

if you didnt do anything wrong, you have no reason to be bothered about it, but, your intro seemed bot/spam like, mods will decide. but as i said, if you feel you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about

[acoustic pond]

to be fair I never read the rules

the mods will decide your fate

[obsidian oracle]

wanna bet

[lilac bear]

"I'm passionate about achieving success" THIS IS NOT LINKEDIN

[fossil frost]

people read the rules when the rules are used against them, and they need a way out

[acoustic pond]

agreed

[fossil frost]

i HATE everything about linkedin people... in fact.. let me go and get a job title from literally anyone on my linkedin feed right now

[lilac bear]

oh god 🙏

[obsidian oracle]

same 🤝

[acoustic pond]

look man I am not in a customer service role, I am in a "Customer driven success role" lol

[obsidian oracle]

linkedin have a feed? lmao

[acoustic pond]

though my job role is pretty funny, I am cloud support engineer but in reality im just a sysadmin, but that is how my job refers me as

[fossil frost]

"Building elite sales professionals | 25 years in Tech Sales and Leadership | Gold Accredited Sales Coach | Click the 🔔 to get notified when I post!" is not a fucking job title

[lilac bear]

it's basically like Facebook for career seekers/flexers

[fossil frost]

"LinkedIn Top Voice 2023" is also not a job title, its a meaningless badge from linkedin that nobody cares about... stop advertising yourself as that

[fossil frost]

its facebook for sociopaths

[acoustic pond]

dont forget to put your certs on here too, A+, CCNA, Network+, LPIC-1, OYNX, Linux+ AZ-900, POKE+

[obsidian oracle]

i only saw the profile side of it, never went further than that

[lilac bear]

Bizz is correct

[fossil frost]

"Vintage-Inspired Futurist, Multipotentialite, & Storyteller // Human Behaviour & Cultural Insights✌" ... NOT A JOB TITLE! 😠

[acoustic pond]

Vintage-Inspired Futurist? Isnt that just a fancy way of saying hipster?

[fossil frost]

these are genuine "job titles" of people i actually know...

like, i could call these people on the phone.. now...

[acoustic pond]

on my linkedin I have the quote "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" - Roy Trenneman under my name

[manic torrent]

'sysadmin' covers 100 jobs these days

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[acoustic pond]

you aint wrong, sysadmin is a umbrella term for everything now a days

[fossil frost]

i have linked in be a clone of my CV. only because when you apply for a job in software dev, the first thing the hiring manager does is check linkedin...

[manic torrent]

Nonono, sysadmins used to do all those things

You are backwards

[acoustic pond]

I just do what im told at work and if im not sure I ask chatgpt or read documentation

[fossil frost]

sysadmin's now, change dropdown boxes on amazon aws control panels 😄

[manic torrent]

I should put the following koan on my linkedin:
A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on.

Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.”

Knight turned the machine off and on.

The machine worked.

[acoustic pond]

hey don't attack me like that

[manic torrent]

jesus wept.

[acoustic pond]

at least im honest unlike some pretentious sysadmins I meet

[manic torrent]

oh, looking up documentation is A++++

I was talking about asking chatGPT

[acoustic pond]

man everyone does it, now if you are asking it and not following up on what it provides then sure you are a dumbass

[manic torrent]

I don't 🙂

[fossil frost]

"chat gpt, how do i delete a particular set of conf files" "you run 'rm -rf /', that will 100% get rid of your files" which is true.. it will get rid of those files...

[manic torrent]

This may be because I know what I'm doing

[acoustic pond]

mean technically its right...

[acoustic pond]

just depends on your role and what you are doing

[fossil frost]

its is correct, but also very very wrong... which is very common with chatgpt

[obsidian oracle]

is it even that good?

[acoustic pond]

yea because the inquiry was too vague

[manic torrent]

I'm a sysadmin, so I do sysadmin, design systems, write code, do databases, spec hardware, debug issues, etc etc etc etc.

[fossil frost]

my work gave everyone at my place a copilot licence today... i immediately gave mine back... because i have a strong stance against it 🙂 for varirous reasons

[fossil frost]

if you know enough to describe the problem fully to chatgpt, you already know enough to not need chatgpt

[manic torrent]

it's as useful as a shitty coder

[acoustic pond]

that feels more then a sysadmin, thats like sysarch and database admin too, great to be well versed though so props

[acoustic pond]

yea you not wrong but its a good starting point to get started

[manic torrent]

yeah it is more than sysadmin in 2024, but back in the day, that was all sysadmin 😄

[acoustic pond]

props old timer 😛 lol

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ZHV0RH0fQ <- part of the reason copilot is garbage

[fossil frost]

ohh ive used it... but i hated it... and now work are trying to push us to use it because the CEO thinks it would make us more efficient... they are incorrect

[steady niche]

of course am not worry am just bothered by your actions here man
i mean it was an harmless intro nothing much

[acoustic pond]

Im sure you got paid a lot nicer back then too compared to most current sysadmins too

[manic torrent]

oh, yeah, I've been doing this shit for 25+ years and I'm paid commensurately

[acoustic pond]

I use AI for a lot of things though, its even great for helping me do some basic SEO when dealing with keywords and such

[fossil frost]

people still bother with SEO? i thought that died and turned fully into snake oil about 15 years ago

[acoustic pond]

yea you are a lot higher then I am, I honestly have only like 5 years under my belt if anything

[steady niche]

why taking out your personal feelings out on me ?
do you know me from somewhere ?

[acoustic pond]

mean you still need to setup your keywords and get your meta information correct so your site looks decent when you share it?

[fossil frost]

i found that it just got in my way, and it was just slowing me down

[acoustic pond]

I honestly cant tell if @steady niche is a troll or really does not understand how earlier he was trying to pitch his site to us earlier

[manic torrent]

he's reacting to what you said, that's how people work

[fossil frost]

meta tags are completely irrelevant, have been for a very long time. and the "keywords" dont work in isolation, the current version of the engine requires them to be in context and used properly within that context too... just spamming bullshit onto a page to get better results, which is what SEO is/was, that just doesnt work anymore

i know, because i sold that service to people for many years, and i was very good at it, and made a lot of money from it

[manic torrent]

absolutely, but that will improve click throughs, not searchability

[acoustic pond]

anyway gotta get back to work, later everyone

[fossil frost]

how nice your link looks within the search results is completely irrelevant if you dont get found at all... and its worth far more to be a page that has no description on page 1, than it is to have all the bells and whistles on page 2

[grim belfry]

Still very much a thing

[fossil frost]

must be the version of SEO that i knew and sold, that died

[pliant leaf]

brb going to learn code so i can be more useful than copilot

[manic torrent]

*as

[pliant leaf]

oh brother if you even knew how bad SEO is today

[fossil frost]

was about 12-13 years ago when i last cared/sold/did SEO in any sort of anger...

[pliant leaf]

yeah well i'll be a slightly mediocre coder

[lilac bear]

so you take LinkedIn personally?

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-kiss-gif-10037020512647257517

[acoustic pond]

I take LinkedIn professionally

[pliant leaf]

the word linkedin makes me feel anxiety

mostly because i'm at the tail-end of my uni career and the faint memory of "make a linkedin account and start networking asap" has been lingering in my head since i started my bachelor before the pandemic

which of course i never did because i'm a gremlin

[acoustic pond]

just imagine yourself as a product and market yourself like how Apple does, so even if you have no skills to show or exp just bullshit it, t hats what everyone on linkedin does, showcase your personal project if it relates to your field too and what not.

[pliant leaf]

i just can't take it seriously man

and it's bad because i'm LITERALLY in marketing

[acoustic pond]

trust me I get it, I dont like it either but thats how the game works now

linkedin is just a numbers game at this point

[pliant leaf]

i've been told that i'm too autistic for this field by more than one professor

[acoustic pond]

I never bothered with college

[lilac bear]

"my code = twice other code"

or Microsoft

"the most open availability"

[pliant leaf]

alas i'm not smart enough to afford not bothering with college

[manic torrent]

I went to uni for a few years, didn't finish my degree, and left

[agile lake]

Dropped out in grade 11, worked full time since. I will finish eventually, just not really that necessary at the moment with current job security.

[acoustic pond]

If you want to work in IT just get your start in help desk taking phone calls, sure it can suck but its a great way to get exp and then get some certs under your belt, you only really need a degree in my exp if you want to get into upper management

[supple pawn]

Anyone use LMDE?

[latent storm]

can confirm, started from nothing w/ HD and moved up Twice within a year, now I'm a "specialist" and the work flow is 98% less. I get paid to sit and wait for things to break.

[manic torrent]

I never worked in helpdesk

[acoustic pond]

I envy you for not expirencing hell desk

you learn a lot though and quickly realize so many people with the title senior in their job title when they put in tickets arnt that smart...

example, if you are a IT director or senior sysadmin and asking simple DNS questions, I would be very concerned

[humble quiver]

Yo guys can you keep the screws and plates that will get removed from your bones (surgery)

Can't find anything on the internet about this

Like keep them as a souvenir

[hollow mango]

Yeah I worked briefly at a help desk and can confirm you do deal with senior managers and vice presidents who have no clue how simple technology stuff works

[acoustic pond]

what....

[humble quiver]

They're going to remove this in like a month

I wanna keep it

[acoustic pond]

but why ask here...

[humble quiver]

Cuz is 4am and it's the only active server on my list

[smoky badge]

We don’t know, you’ll have to ask them when it gets removed

[humble quiver]

I'm self conscious of the awkward moment if they say no

[hot tartan]

They’re usually a bit iffy about letting you keep stuff, you just have to ask

[vapid smelt]

yes https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/took-amputated-leg-home-can even body parts

[humble quiver]

Did she really pause with her amputated leg

Hell naaaaah

I just wanna keep the precious metal inside my wrist

🤑

[vapid smelt]

just buy the knew iphone it also has titanium

[humble quiver]

Nah but there's a lot there

[vapid smelt]

i remember a viewer on demolition ranch gave him a titanium plate to shoot at that was used for his leg or whatever

[humble quiver]

That's very cool

Mine kinda looks like it could be used to flip a pan Cake

If you remove the screws

[smoky badge]

[humble quiver]

It's literally a spatula with holes lmao

[acoustic pond]

when they said no she put her "foot" down

[smoky badge]

This feels like a TC1 conversation

[humble quiver]

I really picture myself showing up to my friendplace where I broke my arm and wrist and pull the plate up and be like look what drinking with you does to me

And then ask for a beer

It could also do a cool necklace that I can name "dream career ended cuz of this"

[smoky badge]

Use it as a bottle opener

[humble quiver]

OH TEAH

The irony in this

[smoky badge]

i wanna download a vst plugin for fl studio but my arm processor labtop doesnt support the installer how can i fix this

If you end up using it as a bottle opener, put it on your keychain

[humble quiver]

Necklace is much cooler imo

I got a spare chain rn

depends on the doctor really. i have most of them, but a few times whatever doc i was at wouldnt let me keep em

[humble quiver]

I legit do not recall what surgeon I got at first 💀

I think she was chill

[white pawn]

its the folks removing them, not the ones installing. dunno how much that helps tho 😛

[humble quiver]

In France it's the same surgeon for both

Unless special needs

They finish what they start you know

[white pawn]

same here in USA, unless scheduliong issues or something special

[humble quiver]

It's pretty strict here in France ngl

[white pawn]

i mean, honestly, the worst thing that can happen is you ask and they say no

[humble quiver]

I had another surgery rescheduled 2 months later because of some random reasons the surgeon got hired to give lessons for 2 months

[humble quiver]

Very true but brain scared

I'll try anyway I have to go for a quick look 2nd December and then they'll schedule it

[white pawn]

gotcha on that, i like to game out what happens to try to prepare myself, but that may not work for you

[humble quiver]

Exactly

I always prepare for all eventuality

[white pawn]

Nice

Faulty Motherboard or PSU can/will take out a PSU irregardless of how the CPU is designed to protect itself usually.

Was anyone banned from Apex for nothing?
It was on last December I downloaded the game it was my second round and there was a network issue and the game gave me a 20 min penalty I waited in the penalty screen for 20 mins and when I tried to start a new game after that it banned meEven if I intentionally quit in the middle of the game how am I a fresh new player supposed to know that?, EA sucks

[winged spire]

Being banned from apex legends is a humanitarian right

[graceful burrow]

what’s a better gpu for around the same price as a 4080 super

[manic torrent]

A cheaper 4080 super

Wait... Sorry, a very cheap 4090

i meant like amd

Do I get a softer knife that wont rust
Or a harder knife that could rust

[stray path]

Ehhhhhh
They're similar but id get a 4080 super

[manic torrent]

No

[long briar]

About the same for raster, 4080 super is better in every other way

[robust mauve]

I really wanted to avoid buying nvidia, but working with large data works better with them

despite having less ram

[stray path]

For high end I'd go Nvidia just for the extra features you get

[robust mauve]

honestly fsr 3 is soooo good

[stray path]

Haven't used it yet
I'm on a 1060 idk

I'll upgrade someday

[robust mauve]

it works with all cards, it gave my 2080super another life

although, i'm going to be running bazzite on a computer i'm making from leftover parts, so i don't know how well fsr works on nvidia cards there

[boreal verge]

is it normal that when i drink coffee my whole body vibrates at a 750hz sine wave

Oh wait i forgor

I did use fsr3 to get 40-50fps in cyberpunk in 1440p low on my 1060
It's insane

[stray path]

I'm gonna say no

[boreal verge]

oh, how do i restart

[stray path]

Haven't figured that out yet

[robust mauve]

yeah, upscaling is getting really good

[stray path]

A 9 year old GPU should not be getting almost 60fps in that demanding of a game

it willbe m atx

[stray path]

Good for you

why not 7950 x3d

[boreal verge]

how much is it

i got ike 400 max for cpu

[robust mauve]

probably cheaper, microcenter had some good deals

do you need a mb?

[distant monolith]

what GPU should i upgrade to if the only games i play are like EA FC 25 , F1 24. and Forza h5

[fossil frost]

my 12yo plays all 3 of those on a 6650xt

[distant monolith]

i have a 6600XT rn

so

[fossil frost]

a mild OC on it would make it the same as a 6650xt

[quaint salmon]

does anyone here use the lenovo legion or other lenovo gaming laptops? if so can you vouch on its experience / performance?

i've heard lenovo is meant to be quite good

[fossil frost]

you dont NEED an upgrade for those games... if you WANT one, 7700xt would give you a noticeable framerate improvement, but anything else above that would probably be a waste of money for those games

[distant monolith]

what games shoul i play then

not like js to upgrade my pc

but whats a good game

[fossil frost]

i have 2 lenovo thinkpad workstation laptops, they are beasts.. one of them has a 3070 in it, and can easily play any game i throw at it

[quaint salmon]

what about ventilation and stuff? i've heard thats very important as poor ventilation would cause instant throttling

[fossil frost]

you play whatever you enjoy, and build hardware for that... you dont build hardware in search of games you might not enjoy... you dont need to upgrade the computer just for the sake of it

[distant monolith]

i dont have any good games to play tho thats y im asking

[fossil frost]

ventilation is fine. when im running a large build on a large project... it gets loud, but other than that, its quiet, and doesnt throttle that i notice, no more than any other laptop anyway

[quaint salmon]

awesome, thanks! i've come across some money from a prize and was finally looking to splurge. im looking at the legion and legion pro 5 right now

[fossil frost]

its not up to me to decide what games you enjoy playing.. you enjoy playing what you enjoy playing... like i said, dont go searching for a problem so that you can waste money you dont need to waste on a solution... play games you enjoy, and upgrade your PC when you cant play games you enjoy

[distant monolith]

i js want a good game 😭

[fossil frost]

it sounds like what you want, is an excuse to upgrade your gpu... i cant tell you what games you will enjoy, only you can do that

[fossil frost]

i have a ThinkPad P16 G2 and a ThinkPad P1 Gen 5.. both from work, one running windows, one running ubuntu. both get punished, HARD... both work great

awesome 😆 hopefully lenovo will be able to live up to its reputation

[fossil frost]

best part about these workstation laptops though, is their thickness.. not only do they run well, look good while being thick, and are powerful... you could beat somebody to death with them

[fierce moth]

Same thing could be said with a modern graphics card lmao

[thorn sphinx]

New laptops are too thin imo

[quaint salmon]

im seeing reviews with the chunkiness as a downside, i think chunkiness is good

feels better and more solid imo

thin-n-lite has ruined how powerful laptops are able to be

[fierce moth]

I love my fw13, it's a solid machine for daily use

[thorn sphinx]

I can barely hold my laptop it's so thin. And no battery sticking out of it means I can't get a good grip when I walk with it.

[quaint salmon]

is it good for games at all?

[thorn sphinx]

I got it for free though, and it's technically more powerful than my Thinkpad X220 and X61s. Not sure how much I need the extra computing power.

[fierce moth]

I wouldn't say play AAA games on it, but the odd indie game works quite well

Alas, any trackpad is not good for gaming regardless of what laptop you have

[fossil frost]

trackpads SUCK

[thorn sphinx]

I love trackpoints.

[fierce moth]

Even with a good trackpad

And the fw13 has a great track pad

[fossil frost]

LTT can say "this is the best trackpad" all they want... but its the same as saying "this is the best venereal disease"

[thorn sphinx]

My current device uses a trackpad and I was thinking about getting a trackball, but I have actually never used one before and they can be expensive, but I like the idea of them.

[fossil frost]

i can only speak for the one i used about 10 years ago... also shit 🙂

[fierce moth]

I counter, trackpads are great for normal computing tasks, but as soon as you need middle click or fast movement it's joever

[thorn sphinx]

Many times I can not use a traditional mouse because of the location I am using my laptop in.

I am almost never at a desk. I actually do not own a desk.

[fossil frost]

i have never found myself needing a mouse, and having nowhere to put it

[fierce moth]

I'd love to get a mx master and chuck that in my bag, but that's an additional cost that isn't worth it

[fierce moth]

But if I did, I'd get something like this https://i2clabs.com.au/donglehider/

[manic torrent]

Lol

[manic torrent]

Is this you?

[quaint salmon]

well in

[fossil frost]

plenty of room in there to use a real mouse

[thorn sphinx]

I am almost never at a table or desk, and I do like to walk and do my work, holding the laptop in one hand and controlling it with the other. Thinkpads with 9-cells excelled at this. The battery was a grip and the trackpoint made it really easy to move the mouse.

[manic torrent]

... You must do work that doesn't require much of anything

[thorn sphinx]

It's mostly thinking work. A few reports, presentations, and spreadsheets.

[wispy marsh]

Now you can also do that, in fact, Copilot allows you to move more and stimulate those thinking cells!

[primal cairn]

Vertical GPU does it mean my monitor cables are underneath the case

Or on top

[manic torrent]

Yes

[primal cairn]

Ouch, the bend can't be good

Also how big of a difference between the 4090D and the normal 4090

[manic torrent]

Ehhh, I have a huge collection of specific orientation/etc cables

Afaik nothing

[wispy marsh]

Good evening~ Tomorrow is black friday sales~ TGIF~

[pallid falcon]

Good evening, 47.

[wispy marsh]

I have hair

It's not shoulder length yet but my fringe is touching my nose

[patent violet]

oh shit I did not just do that

I flashed the damn motherboards bios not the FPGA PCIe card 😐

uh oh

[thorn sphinx]

rip?

[obsidian oracle]

whys it so dark

[primal cairn]

It's just a vertically mounted gpu

[obsidian oracle]

yea but i sent that same pic here yesterday and it wasnt so dark

[primal jay]

hi people

i am new here

[obsidian oracle]

#tech-chat-2 message

[obsidian oracle]

welcome

[primal jay]

thanks!

[jagged temple]

can i get some help with an issue pls

my ssd stopped working and shows as an unknown device on device manager

Device settings for SCSI\Disk&Ven_&Prod_\5&38a936d1&0&050000 were not migrated from previous OS installation due to partial or ambiguous device match

it shows this on the events

[manic torrent]

Sounds like it's fucked

[thorn sphinx]

Find the proper drivers.

Problem is most likely that it didn't automatically find the drivers.

You could uninstall the 'device' in device manager, unplug the drive, plug it back in, and see if it automatically detects it then.

[thorn sphinx]

Since I'm too lazy to reply to your post in the tech-support thread^

[manic torrent]

That... Isn't most likely at all

[thorn sphinx]

Then what would it be?

[tender badge]

Hello

[smoky badge]

Hi

[jagged temple]

Ty, ill try it

[manic torrent]

Hardware failure.

[pallid falcon]

[runic hill]

Dream PC Specs:
GPU: RTX 5090
CPU: Apple M5 Ultra
RAM: 32GB DDR5
Storage: 4TB Samsung SSD
OS: Windows 12 With Apple Intelligence+
Case: Mac Mini

[obsidian oracle]

💀

my man limited the capabilities of things to do by 80% the second he picked apple cpu

[crystal mirage]

windows 12 with apple intelligence sounds horrible

[runic hill]

dude they make banger chips

crazy efficient

[obsidian oracle]

who wants efficiency when u cant do 80% of the things

[crystal mirage]

arm is cool but compatibility is even cooler

[obsidian oracle]

just get a 9800x3d and forget about any worries

[vapid zephyr]

Literally everybody

Plus you're not losing '80% of things'

[obsidian oracle]

i mean its close to 80% enough

[crystal mirage]

running everything through emulation is not really efficient

[vapid zephyr]

M4 is currently the fastest in single core and can decently keep up with a 14600K in multicore, literally nothing to complain about

[crystal mirage]

and emulation also might not work perfectly

[obsidian oracle]

not to mention not existing lool

[full fossil]

My smart fridge is better

[obsidian oracle]

a 5090 just to get 4080 performance out of it

[manic torrent]

That certainly is a dream

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[vapid zephyr]

We'll see how it goes with gaming and other things kinda not present on MacOS since they're clearly trying now

[manic torrent]

Also, apple intelligence, fucking looooollllll

You know that actually smart people can tell you did stuff with AI and are not impressed

[crystal mirage]

it is so nice that if something isn't AI then it is bad

[manic torrent]

And will laugh at you

[manic torrent]

What?

[crystal mirage]

i meant that now everything has to be called AI

or it is bad

[manic torrent]

Oh, yes, that's hilarious

[obsidian oracle]

we need ai keyboards with built in chat gpt 4o frfr

[crystal mirage]

yes use AI to write to an AI chat bot

what could go wrong?

[obsidian oracle]

nothing

[lilac bear]

your first mistake was thinking Intel is competitive

also like "K" does this include overclocking or not

the huge funny

Apple M4 beats Intel 14th gen while ALSO overclocked

[minor dagger]

hello

goodbye

[full fossil]

Au voir

[minor dagger]

aurevoir

know your language...

[full fossil]

🤡

[pallid falcon]

[minor dagger]

wut

stop lookin at me like that

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[minor dagger]

ion like it

guys

i feel like this is proably the best server to ask this

pls give relationship advice

[obsidian oracle]

no

[median idol]

This is probably the worst place to ask for this kind of advice

[minor dagger]

r u sure

i feel like u guys are so social

[obsidian oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1236827175852970076.webp?size=48&name=FurryExplosion

[obsidian oracle]

why

[minor dagger]

idk

i feel like people who spend all day inside not talking to anyone would be the perfect ppl to ask about going outside and talking to ppl

[obsidian oracle]

right

[minor dagger]

see one proof of this is that u didnt understand the joke

[obsidian oracle]

not laughing doesnt mean i didnt understand

[median idol]

[minor dagger]

:|

i have so many good gifs to send

[pallid falcon]

Break up with your partner if they play league

[minor dagger]

bet

but they would all get me banned

[pallid falcon]

What

[minor dagger]

responding to this

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[obsidian oracle]

who tf deleted my gif

[minor dagger]

idk

[median idol]

https://tenor.com/view/gendo-neon-genesis-evangelion-anime-smirk-gif-14884772

[pallid falcon]

Probably a mod or warship

[obsidian oracle]

i love random moderation with no talk

[minor dagger]

guys

[pallid falcon]

I mean if it's really minor I don't think giving a official warning is best

[minor dagger]

who here follows george droyd on tt

[obsidian oracle]

not warning, talking

[pallid falcon]

I've only really seen mods here go to far twice. This is not even close. Dm one of them?

[harsh quartz]

Satisfactorys on sale, hell yeah

[median idol]

[pallid falcon]

Deep discoumt.

[polar fern]

Happy Harvest Festival day to folks in the US. 🙂

[lilac bear]

LTT schizo edition

[harsh quartz]

Que?

[median idol]

When is Pub Chat not Schizo?

[deep solstice]

A well-shielded cable did the trick for me

[pallid falcon]

Is it a deep discount

[harsh quartz]

It’s 20%

[pallid falcon]

Oh

Tx ^^

[harsh quartz]

I was gonna buy it anyways so 20% is 20%

[prime solstice]

Jedi fallen order is 90% off

[viscid elm]

For a reason

[pallid falcon]

EA games: it's in your wallet

[prime solstice]

SS:kill the justice league is 95% off

[halcyon canyon]

hehehehehehehehhehehehehepehehhe i have a b2 mac

[pallid falcon]

Steam deck is 25%

[lilac bear]

still not worth it

game is EOL

servers probably getting turned off next billing

[pallid falcon]

Game developers should OSS games server ones they reach EOL

[polar fern]

if only there were a company or several that took over MMORPG/server hosted games when the dev/parent company decided it was time to pull the plug.

[lilac bear]

copyright hell hole

[polar fern]

hmmm no i dont think so. just hosting shouldnt be an issue

[prime solstice]

I got it for free from Amazon

[lilac bear]

I feel like the EU should be making this happen rather than make the games infinitely update

[pallid falcon]

Open sourcing game servers once game is EOL/shutdown doesn't let you play the game. You still need a copy of the game to connect and play. (Either being legitimate or otherwise)

[polar fern]

yeah well some folks feel that industry should "self-regulate" and what that means is -redacted to not get banned-

right, only curent users would get the handoff option

could open a market for end licenses so folks can "sell" their "copy" to interested persons once they're ready to move on

could be a whole new thing

parent company transfers the title along with the user data and everything, and users who stay on pay a monthly or annual fee for access. if the title drops below a threshold, they then finally pull the plug

[lilac bear]

I feel like that only delays the issue than fixing it

[polar fern]

really depends

plus parent companies can decided to offload titles before they death spiral to save cost and make room for new stuff

this way you're transferring a sizable userbase vs some trickly remnant

[full fossil]

whats guanin

[polar fern]

a word i am unafimilar with

[full fossil]

going on

[polar fern]

hehe

[harsh quartz]

I thought about this, but I really want a OLED version instead

[obsidian oracle]

not caring enough to do so tbh

[pallid falcon]

The sale on lttstore.com

[full fossil]

hell yeah

[polar fern]

thats guinan 😄

[pallid falcon]

[full fossil]

whos guinan

[lilac bear]

some NOBODY

[polar fern]

someone who will listen to your problems

[full fossil]

nah theyll get bored and give up if they kept listening KEKW

[harsh quartz]

An overrated character

[pallid falcon]

I post my problems in floattoaste like it's Twitter

[polar fern]

twitter .... rest in peices

[pallid falcon]

F

[full fossil]

whats this new platform im hearing about, twitter like called blue cloud or something ??

[pallid falcon]

Bluesky

[full fossil]

ah right, whats it all about ? ?

[polar fern]

guinan is one of an alien species which lives for thousands of years. something to do with ho they interact with spacetime fabric or something, i forget

[slate agate]

just another social media app

[polar fern]

bluesky is a platform founded by musk fanboy jack dorsey. it's basically twitter for people who think they're better than twitter users

[slate agate]

doesn't have elon on it so that's a plus

[full fossil]

fair fair, im fed up of those at this point, give it a couple of months or a year and ill be back on them eventually, its like crack to me

[polar fern]

yes it is exacly that

dopamine addiction

[full fossil]

yupp

[polar fern]

i'm on the spectrum/have adhd so i have low dopamine, and now that i'm not using twitter (i use discord & am on a mastodon instance) my brain feels healthier and i'm way less in an echo chamber

[cold prism]

I have adhd but I don't know if that affects how I feel about Twitter

I've had an account since 2009 but basically never used it

[polar fern]

its a chemichal thing, not a thought process/emotion thing .. ok well it can be emotional too i suppose
