[full fossil]

Yea

Only 1

[full fossil]

I want it. What is it and how do I redeem it

[crisp notch]

some stores allow you to pay like 1/5th of the price to use the phone for X ammount of time (atleast here they do).

[full fossil]

You got to go on Microsoft redeem then redeem it

[full fossil]

Private me

[shut obsidian]

nah i dont have time to keep switching

[full fossil]

Get the 15 pro max. I have it and nothing beats the battery. Googles phone comes close but the battery and software optimization with the iPhone 15 pro max is by far the best

Yo private me

[shut obsidian]

yah but samsung is good too i just want it to go trought the day my current phone battery is shit

[full fossil]

So that no one can get that code

And it’s a 14 day trial

[full fossil]

Samsung 22 ultra will last all day. And charge fast. Get that or the 15 pro max.

I’d stick with android if you like that one though

[raven grotto]

just rusty then and chipped

[full fossil]

I like your profile picture

[shut obsidian]

nah the s22 ultra is laggy i want a s23 or s24

[viscid elm]

and the code is free?

[full fossil]

Yea

[full fossil]

Dang I didn’t know that. Good to k
Ow now I won’t buy it. Mother f******

Discord gave it to me

[viscid elm]

post it here

[full fossil]

Ok

[full fossil]

HahahahahahHh

[viscid elm]

what

[full fossil]

3C9W2-XVPT4-PKP9X-6VKHY-73JCZ

Try it

Working?

[full fossil]

What do you think of the Google phone

Which one

[full fossil]

15 Pro Max

[full fossil]

The latest

Or iPhone 16 Plus

Bad

[shut obsidian]

nah the plus is 60hz

[full fossil]

Pixel 6 got 5 year extra upgrades

16 Pro Max then

With os upgrade

And security

[agile vessel]

nice

[crisp notch]

battle of the whitenames

?

[full fossil]

So pixel 7 got it also and the fold except for pixel tablet

I have the 15 pro max and the interface just gets boring but the battery life is great

I didn’t know Chinese phones worked in the US anymore

[full fossil]

I have a iPhone XS and it sucks

Ahahahahahahahahahahah

So did the code work

Whatever you get with apple make sure it’s the 120hz. Makes the biggest difference in the world

[full fossil]

My phone screen glitches me out I can unlock it because my screen won’t respond and it just doesn’t let me do anything

[full fossil]

I had a s20fe I should have never changed it

Who got the code

For only 120 bucks? Dang. How was the battery and the speed

Who

I got 15 Pro Max

Upgraded it from some $200 Xiaomi

Should I stay with iPhone or go back to android

I may get the s24fe

[restive linden]

You can't even imagine how much I tried getting it to burn

[lime osprey]

Question Is why do you want it to burn.

[restive linden]

You can't judge my axe and it's sharpness because I have the axe

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-laugh-the-dark-knight-heath-ledger-joker-gif-15327985

[restive linden]

Exactly

That's why I chopped it in the first place

[solemn goblet]

I need to get back to the gym. I’ve been slacking

Regaining lost strength shouldn’t be hard

[lusty trellis]

hi

[solemn goblet]

I used to do like 250 lbs deadlift as a max. I could probably only do like 150-175 lbs as a max now

My goal was 315 lbs deadlift. I think I can achieve it if I push hard enough

[vapid zephyr]

Hah

[solemn goblet]

Muscle memory is goated

[graceful burrow]

That's not what that term typically means lol

[vapid zephyr]

Are you perhaps Irish and fell off a horse a couple years back?

[full fossil]

iPhone.

[vapid zephyr]

There's no way you don't know what muscle memory is and that's the only guy I can remember who also didn't know

[full fossil]

Hy

[solemn goblet]

Well you can say that muscle memory is just muscles remembering movements that you’ve done before

[graceful burrow]

That is the only thing I've heard it described for

[vapid zephyr]

How long were you off the gym?

[solemn goblet]

About two years

[vapid zephyr]

Then based on studies it'll take you roughly 9 months to get your old strength back

Well, and according to some guy from the Florida Atlantic University

[solemn goblet]

Well apparently muscles can increase in myonuclei from resistive training

[vapid zephyr]

After some googling, apparently that's unironically what muscle memory means in gym terms

[solemn goblet]

And there is studies that show that muscles retain this even after atrophy and detraining

How long though is uncertain

[vapid zephyr]

So yeah, maybe I was the one falling from a horse, damn

[solemn goblet]

Some studies show that this can last for around 15 years or that it can be indefinitely. So more research is needed.

[full fossil]

is intel arc b580 better than amd radeon rx 6650xt

i may buy it

[molten drift]

Well I just had a awkward moment with my mom in the car.. gotta love when the "internet music" comes over the YouTube music .... Did you know that ram ranch really rocks?

[nocturne shell]

lol

[alpine peak]

Hey guys

What operating software do yall use on your PCs?

[raven grotto]

fair enough

[quartz garden]

Windows 11 home

Just the basic

[full fossil]

18 naked cowboys

[alpine peak]

Dope

Same

[vapid zephyr]

Oh god lmao

[alpine peak]

Im currently deciding between linux as a daily OS or windows as a daily OS

[quartz garden]

Yeah, well win 10 pro on school laptop💀

[alpine peak]

Win 10 is still really good
Better than win 11 in some regards

[molten drift]

Presently I'm. Blasting the 2023 Timmy trumpet set at Tomorrowland

[quartz garden]

Both, at the same time, all the time

[vapid zephyr]

Windows 11 and Windows 10 are the same thing effectively
It wouldn't be crazy to call Windows 11 a Windows 10 skin

[alpine peak]

I use Kali Linux in a live USB for cybersec studies

But Im in a dilemma for my main OS

[alpine peak]

Yea that's true

[quartz garden]

Yeah, the TMP2.0 is mostly pointless, ok not really but why can’t we make it recommended instead

[quartz garden]

👍

[alpine peak]

What do yall recommend me?
Linux or Win for main OS
Tell me with your experiences 🙏🙏

[frosty quartz]

I am on windows now 😦

Was on ubuntu linux but FL STUDIO was too stuped, and im too stuped to get it running perfectly smooth..

[quartz garden]

Also do you guys have pc or laptop

[frosty quartz]

It all depends on what type of software, or applications you want or need in your daily. If you game, or produce music, or even video edit.. All of these are things to consider when choosing a OS.

[full fossil]

linux users will hate me on this but windows better even if it uses more ram

you get more app support and it is better with game support

and you dont have to use wine for apps

[haughty sun]

guys i need help with something its related to ssd

[frosty quartz]

I want to disagree on that.. BUT i havent been on all the linuxes out there, i dont know if all them fr be sucking with window applications.

I would love to run a linux distro as a daily OS, because of privacy.. But if my apps are buggy like 60% of the time, i rather be on windows 😦 Sad reality for me atleast.

[burnt bone]

just a PSA, if you're using Linux, do not update KDE Kwin. It has bugs regarding GTK Wayland app windows such as Firefox.

[frosty quartz]

I might be able to help, what you need help with?

[burnt bone]

anyways that's all

[alpine peak]

I do play video games, sometimes I pirate, i dont really produce music, i code on neovim

For my normal work, i do cybersecurity on a kali linux USB

[haughty sun]

can i talk here or somewere else ?

[full fossil]

how do i know if my ssd died

[alpine peak]

So for my main OS, is windows better?

[frosty quartz]

I was on fedora 49, and firefox wouldnt let me watch youtube videos for some reason.. lol.

[full fossil]

oen of them

[full fossil]

probably

[frosty quartz]

Yea this is public, im no admin or nun, but im sure there aint no problem.

[burnt bone]

Did you put in unofficial third party repos?

[alpine peak]

Both

[frosty quartz]

You said your into kali.. how far in your journey are you in learning cybersecutiry?

[full fossil]

my ssd got too hot and wont be detected by linux or windows

so did it die

[haughty sun]

i have a ssd and i wanna buy a ssd enclosure but i dont wanna buy a incompatibal with my ssd show can you see my ssd and tell me if its gonna work or not

[frosty quartz]

have you tried unpluggin and pluggin?

[full fossil]

yep

it was in a laptop

then i pulled it out

and then it wont work even with the laptop

[quartz garden]

I have 2 laptops 1 for school, 1 for personal but the personal one is an Asus Tuf gaming a15 so it’s not like I miss out a ton on upgrading

[full fossil]

just got a pc

[burnt bone]

Because with Fedora you have to, because the company's American and they're scared shitless about getting sued by annoying decadent Californians about media codecs.

Add in a third party repository which has hardware accelerated media playback enabled, so you can watch youtube with hardware decoding enabled.

[alpine peak]

Im definitely not an expert
I've started with CTFs on hackthebox and tryhackme
Other than that, ive used some tools on Kali to run analysis on my windows PC so i could see how secure it actually is

[alpine peak]

I have a custom PC, a macbook pro, and a normal windows laptop

And an iPad too but that doesn't count as either

[quartz garden]

1/2 laptop

[burnt bone]

i'm honestly so jealous of apple users

[alpine peak]

Why?

Its just glorified tbh

You gotta pay for so many things istg

[burnt bone]

They have access to the best laptop hardware, ever. And iOS is leagues ahead of whatever shitware Android companies and Microsoft pushes out.

I was a yuge Android fan back in my teen days, but now I hate Android more than ever and I tell everyone to go Apple.

[full fossil]

apple just is bad

[alpine peak]

The only apple thing I like are the iPads

[full fossil]

my phone sucks

should have stayed with android

[alpine peak]

I prefer android personally

[quartz garden]

Don’t be, I have been a horrible sucker of an iPhone 6s for 5 years and an iPhone 12 for nearly 1

[burnt bone]

The M4 is bloody powerful. It trades blows with Zen 4 CPUs but it sips like, what? 30 watts?

[frosty quartz]

From what i understand, it all depends what type of port you have on your pc, or laptop. You have to open it up and check if its labeled.(Ill check if thers a way to see through terminal in a bit.)

SATA, Means you can use SATA SSD.

M.2, Means you can use NVMe.

PCIe require PCIE slots.

Apart from that Id refer to the manufacturing page to make sure it is compatible with your interface.

[alpine peak]

What OS does Linus himself use though?

[full fossil]

on what laptops yeah but desktop no way

[haughty sun]

can i dm u

[burnt bone]

Windows x86 laptops run hot, are fragile as hell, and will deplete their batteries faster than you can say Jeronimo.

They also have inconsistent ACPI S0 sleep. Which is unacceptable.

[frosty quartz]

I would def read up a little on that.

[frosty quartz]

Yea add me :3

[alpine peak]

Guys what OS does Linus use?
Anyone got any idea?

[burnt bone]

Windows duh

[alpine peak]

Ah

[quartz garden]

Also what’s with the apple 8gb ram beef and that now they include 16gb? I have a windows laptop with 8gb and I can play games more than fine.

[burnt bone]

He was advent on staying with Windows Server for a long time too until he bit the bullet and went with Linux

[full fossil]

yeah one time he tried linux i think he did not like it

[alpine peak]

Alot of linux users keep recommending me to switch to linux as my main OS for general use

[frosty quartz]

I wish i looked into it, i sorta liked being in fedora. Was only there for a short amount of time. Im thinking of migrating to any arch linux distro, to start messing around with stuff.

[alpine peak]

This is causing me confusion

[burnt bone]

I'm an experienced Arch Linux user, don't. I'm advising you not to. You will be sorely disappointed.

[alpine peak]

Oh, why so?

[burnt bone]

The only Linux OS you should use is the one from the Steam Deck

[alpine peak]

Kindly Elaborate

[full fossil]

what spec do you have

[smoky badge]

Steam os

[alpine peak]

Ryzen 5 something
Radeon 7600xt
32 GB ram
24 inch 1920 x 1080 144 hz display
2 TB SSD

But till now, no OS

[alpine peak]

If the Linux fanboys read this, we gonna have a war

[burnt bone]

• Too different of a structure from Windows nomenclature
• Everything will require checks and balances, you don't get to dilly dally click 'run as administrator' once and be on your merry way. Everything must be audited and checked.
• Desktop UIs are still very fragmented, advice is all over the place
• Documentation for Linux is beyond subpar, worse than Microsoft's own shitty forum. Only Arch Linux and Gentoo have decent documentation. But those have a very steep learning curve, but it's possible.

[alpine peak]

Is using beginner friendly distros like Mint worth it?

I could just very well debloat windows and use a custom iso file from the Chris Titus windows utility

[burnt bone]

Honestly, Mint is the least terrible one you could choose from the get go. Don't expect it to do all the things Windows would.

I wouldn't recommend Linux to be used on a laptop or tablet either. Only as a traditional desktop with one monitor.

[alpine peak]

I do use multiple monitors though
Both have different refresh rates

[burnt bone]

Linux Mint has a GUI/Desktop Environment called 'Cinnamon' which resembles a lot like Windows 7

[burnt bone]

I'm guessing you're using Nvidia too, in that case, stick with Windows.

[alpine peak]

I have an nvidia lying around

And an AMD too

[burnt bone]

AMD purely for gaming and regular use on Linux is very good.

Same with Intel

[alpine peak]

Is gaming on Linux possible?

[frosty quartz]

When it comes to linux.. If you start using it, youll be stuck in the linux world for a long time.

[frosty quartz]

yes

[burnt bone]

Yes. Of course. With a bunch of aesterisks though

[alpine peak]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[viscid elm]

proton

[frosty quartz]

Everything is possible through linux.

But look at it as a puzzle, or lego piece.

If you want it to run a certain way, you build it up to run that way.

(from what i understand lol)

[alpine peak]

But are all games possible?

[burnt bone]

• You will get slightly lower performance
• Games on Steam that do not have native Linux support will have to be run through Steam's built in WINE-Proton compatibility tool
• This, most of the times, work
• Games that rely on anticheat do not work at all

[alpine peak]

I just want to use it normally and do some light programming for college

[viscid elm]

windows 10 or 11 cant do that

[burnt bone]

Honestly just stick with Windows lol. Linux is still very finnicky and requires your attention. And the community is a bit toxic because it's filled with blind elitism.

UNless you're really curious

[alpine peak]

You have used Arch, pretty sure you have used other distros too

Give your recommendation, would you recommend i jump over to linux as a normal general OS?

[alpine peak]

Ah alright

[burnt bone]

Linux Mint

For the general user

[alpine peak]

Community is definitely very toxic, been in a few linux discord servers

And their reddit too

[burnt bone]

I do not recommend Ubuntu anymore because they've made so many confusing changes that new users will have no idea how to deal with

[frosty quartz]

If you fr want to learn something, and be reading for hours on hours. If you like it aswell. Switch to linux, hop around, see what everything has to offer.

If you need your computer to work with certain apps like now, stick to windows, and you can always run VMs with any linux distro you wish.

[alpine peak]

Hmm ill try it out
I have used it before but not exactly as a daily driver

[alpine peak]

Well I suppose Im gonna have to experiment alot

[supple pawn]

If you're going to try Linux and are not sure, why not dual boot mint and windows or something?

[burnt bone]

Oh yeah, you can say that again. The developers are even worse!

You most likely do not know the drama that goes behind the scenes but lets just say that there's a lot of nonsense, a lot of gaslighting, gatekeeping .etc

It's the nature with humans really, we're a bunch of silly emotional animals.

I wouldn't recommend dual booting.

Honestly if you're very curious, I'd suggest you just run a Linux Virtual Machine inside VMWare Workstation

[alpine peak]

Drama? 💀
Ah i definitely dont know about that

[burnt bone]

You'll be free to try, make all the mistakes in the world, in a VM.

[frosty quartz]

People say to not dual boot, and just run each OS on different hard drives.

I havent personally experimented, so if you want that first hand experience, give it a shot fr

[burnt bone]

Don'tt be afraid to make mistakes in a VM. Mistakes are what makes us learn faster

[alpine peak]

Linux is open source and alot of changes are made by the community itself, so ofc there would be alot of drama

In a big corporation like microsoft, all devs work under a boss so dramas and fights are less if even present

[burnt bone]

Personally I dualboot regardless of how my disk is arranged. UEFI standards are a lifesaver compared to the time where you dual booted on legacy BIOS systems

[frosty quartz]

Nahhh just run linux, and if you mess up, just start from scratch 🤣

[alpine peak]

Aight ill try in VM

[frosty quartz]

I want others to go through the same pain i went through.. (losing all my data)

[burnt bone]

Yeah that's honestly the best option, there's tutorials on youtube you can watch on VMWare Workstation linux installation

[alpine peak]

I'll check it out

[burnt bone]

It's free btw

[alpine peak]

Thanks alot
Appreciate it!!

[burnt bone]

No worries!

[alpine peak]

Yea that it is

[supple pawn]

I did dual boot for a period without issue. Some people do have issues as I understand. Your experience may vary lol. Switched to Linux only on my desktop, but still need Windows for certain tasks, and keep it around on other PCs.

[graceful burrow]

Running each os on different drives is still considered dual boot by many many people lol

[frosty quartz]

i just hate the fact that windows fr sells our data. I have no clue what data, but i just dont feel safe when im here on windows.

[graceful burrow]

Bro very nearly everything you use that can connect to the internet is selling your data, don't get it twisted

[viscid elm]

you can disable most of the telemetry

[empty iris]

[viscid elm]

the main issue is that the data that is suppose to be private or untraceable is traceable and has been used for targeted attacks or at least has been proven to be possible

[frosty quartz]

i shall look into it. I have close to 0 knowledge. Need to read a lil to keep up with the big dawgs

[supple pawn]

It doesn't really matter if you disable telemetry in Windows. Every other app you use is going to be collecting your data.

[harsh quartz]

Gonna be wild when you find out what discord does

[frosty quartz]

thats literally so gross.

[edgy moss]

always a great day when your gaming desktop refuses to boot into any OS regardless of storage device

[frosty quartz]

Where can i find out, or what can i read. WIKI?

[harsh quartz]

Or you can just assume, that like every other free platform, it’s selling your data

[frosty quartz]

I always thought discord was safe.. I guess im too stuped, and dont even know where i be texting through lol

[supple pawn]

If you're not buying a product, you are their product, pretty much.

[harsh quartz]

Even if you are buying a product, your also the secondary product

[supple pawn]

It's not just free programs, though.

[viscid elm]

cant eat free

[frosty quartz]

just a fish in a pool filled with sharks

[harsh quartz]

On a different note, a steam lawsuit and a Minecraft lawsuit in the same year is kinda wild

[supple pawn]

Any time you agree to a EULA, there will be something in it which says that by using their software you agree that the company can collect certain information.

In the case of NZXT they collect all your data lol

[harsh quartz]

And can collect it, sell it, give it away, whatever they want

[supple pawn]

Or sell it to the people calling you about extended warranties or tax relief programs.

[frosty quartz]

So specifically what data do they collect.

Can it be location, access to your files?

Hopefully my mom and me can pay off the roof replacement (including the chimney)

We have to pay like $30,000 for it. Kinda seems expensive?

The plywood and shingles were replaced

yhe saw that i think it will be better to put the extras in the same vid

[obsidian oracle]

electric supercar channel, hard to be a game

[viscid elm]

even simple documents are not safe

[obsidian oracle]

yeah

[frosty quartz]

so its not possible to hack someone through a game?

[viscid elm]

wut

[obsidian oracle]

through a game you created and made the person download, sure

[frosty quartz]

Like if we was in fishin planet, would you be able to hack me

[viscid elm]

there have been games with RCE

[obsidian oracle]

yea no lol

someone who can do that will not do that to your silly ass, trust me

[frosty quartz]

how df do people get others ips, and stuff through a game? Or is that all myths

[obsidian oracle]

ips are publicly available

its not hacking to get public ip

[frosty quartz]

so anyone can know wher i am legally?

[obsidian oracle]

sure

[frosty quartz]

🤣

[obsidian oracle]

enjoy ur bread

[frosty quartz]

well dam

[obsidian oracle]

oh btw, not your house, just the server youre connected to

so, that'd be a city of your isp

[viscid elm]

easy they can just see where you are connected from as the server needs to know where you are

you can use a VPN to hide it but some games do not allow vpns

[obsidian oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1198727661783093318.webp?size=48&name=Necoarc_Stare

yea like most games, and even if they do allow, they run like trash.

[obsidian oracle]

not most

its few, very few

[frosty quartz]

so apart from ddossing, what can someone do with my ip

[viscid elm]

see the general area you live in

[obsidian oracle]

they cant ddos the public ip lol

about you in accordance with its Privacy Policy, which is available at
https://cymatics.fm/privacy. " And the link literally doesnt have anything...

[sharp lynx]

Browsers nowadays I think confirm every time you download something, worst case I think someone just snatches a bunch of system info that they can from your browser

[sharp lynx]

Chew it

Add ketchup first

[frosty quartz]

um i dont think thats gonna feel very good when it comes out

[sharp lynx]

I could be mistaken but mostly that’s how things seem to work

[frosty quartz]

wel thats scary

[sharp lynx]

Take that with a grain of salt, but it’s good to use a privacy-focused browser

[frosty quartz]

i heard somewhere that using tor isnt even safe no more. Or if you dont use DNS or something.

[sharp lynx]

I’d do your research again and double check. If anything just assume that tor and a custom dns are tools in the toolkit

[thorn sphinx]

Chrome used to just auto-download from websites.

[sharp lynx]

I used edge until they got rid of that actually really nice tab grouping thing

[frosty quartz]

yea forsure, for the most part i really be talking out my ass when it comes to tech stuff. lol

[fossil frost]

free GOG game if anyone wants it HTXWCBC00A09BF2757

[frosty quartz]

[sharp lynx]

A lot of people do until they learn what’s going on for real. It’s fun to learn new things

[thorn sphinx]

What's with all these amazon games?

[fossil frost]

amazon prime gaming, they give away a few free games on epic and on GOG each month

the ones i dont want, i give away to people on here, to make sure amazon still pays for them, even if i dont want them

[sharp lynx]

Speaking of games I should see how well cyberpunk runs now that I have Linux mint installed on my framework 16. And maybe check out GOG on it too, I’ve never used it before

[frosty quartz]

cyber punk sounds like a nice game to get into lowkey. Might have to get bros to steam share lol

[fossil frost]

not sure how well it runs.. but.. i will tell you that its very very short

just as it starts to get interesting... "no, we are finished.. you are done"

[wispy umbra]

ji

[sharp lynx]

The game?

[sharp lynx]

Hi

[fossil frost]

yeah, cyberpunk the game, the main story, with side quests.. is quite short

[frosty quartz]

sounds beautiful. Depends what short is to you? Like 10 hour gameplay in total?

[fossil frost]

around 10 hours yeah

i was expecting 20ish

[sharp lynx]

No spoilers tho lol, if anything I’ll make up for that time by just wondering where the hell I should be and what I should do

[fossil frost]

its still fun, its still worth playing, just warning you that its short

[sharp lynx]

I’ll get phantom liberty too

[fossil frost]

that should make it longer, i played it before that came out

[sharp lynx]

Oh ya and I finally finished doom eternal, so I might replay it and go for the ancient gods

[frosty quartz]

By chance yall play csgo?

i saw someone play cs community or something on a laptop, and they were surfing.. Literally the only reason i want to get csgo back somehow

[thorn sphinx]

I think I have an account with a copy

[fossil frost]

i loved new-new doom and doom eternal

[sharp lynx]

Oh ya, since I completed the game I wonder if I should go in as if I’m new again or go in with all my guns n stuff and activate the infinite ammo cheat

I would love to just mow down the mortally challenged with the fully upgraded turret

[thorn sphinx]

I use steam a lot.

[edgy moss]

i am now an msi hater

[thorn sphinx]

Before that log in I hadn't used it for 2 years, but one of my friends wanted to play portal 2.

[sharp lynx]

First MSI motherboard I had was a b660 with what I have to assume was a damaged bios, had to go in for a replacement board from ASUS. Memory express was very cool about the whole thing

[thorn sphinx]

not like I never used it

[granite tinsel]

whomever at apple decided that in order to add a custom sticker to imessage you have let it try to crop out the subject with AI, and you can't override it, i just wanna talk

[sharp lynx]

Is that a png image?

[granite tinsel]

yes

[sharp lynx]

I see

[granite tinsel]

doesn't matter because it fucking removes transparency from png's anyway

[thorn sphinx]

iMessage? So it's a text/email? Just send the image...

[sharp lynx]

The sticker it makes is not transparent? I thought they were

[granite tinsel]

imessage stickers—like, actual stickers can be attached to messages, photos, and embeds in conversations like you're literally sticking them on there

[rich summit]

Hey, I just ordered some LG Ultragear monitors, but the power cables are too short to properly cablemanage, can anyone recommend a place where I could get longer power cables of decent build quality?

[sharp lynx]

Oh Jesus, I tried adding a sticker, it didn’t show it was adding them, and I threw in a whole spam text of them

[granite tinsel]

no what it does is when you import the photo into your photos library, it removes the transparency; then when you try to add it as an imessage sticker it uses its on-device AI to try to crop out the background it just fucking added by removing transparency

[thorn sphinx]

image.jpg

[granite tinsel]

oh my god it did get converted to a jpeg

wait no it was a jpeg all along

[sharp lynx]

Really? Cuz I could swear it saves transparency all along

[granite tinsel]

sunborn you bastards

[sharp lynx]

Even in gifs I save

[granite tinsel]

it might not be saved between devices

i've noticed if i save a png on one apple device, it stays transparent on that device, but not when i look at the cloud-synced library on my other devices

...okay yep, it definitely loses transparency when it gets synced to icloud

original image

airdropped to ipad

synced back to mac

this is so stupid

[fossil frost]

you know what, i still find it hard to believe that the same studio that built satisfactory, is the studio that built goat simulator

[thorn sphinx]

From what I remember if you uploaded an image from an iPhone online it would be converted to a jpg named "image.jpg", regardless of original name or file extension. Might be different now.

If you put it in their cloud, I'm sure they compress it to save their space.

[granite tinsel]

also back to the AI cropping, while this is still wrong, it is actually wrong in a way that can probably be used in entertaining ways given imessage's "place stickers anywhere" shtick

can make it look like she's holding whatever the image is

[thorn sphinx]

Photoshop BTFO

[glad flicker]

Hi!

[granite tinsel]

y'all are right tho; at the end of the day i could just send the photos directly if i'm just reacting in-line, rather than trying to be funny

but my point is i shouldn't have to do these stupid workarounds

i should be able to at the bare minimum adjust the crop

[austere shale]

Yk I’ve been saying for years that you can lose weight eating McDonald’s everyday if you wanted to, as long as you eat on a calorie deficit. I would get shit on relentlessly for this. Then ozempic comes out and everybody is singing its praises… eating whatever they want… but on a calorie deficit since it makes them not hungry… and still losing weight

[trim blade]

is this a bottleneck?

[austere shale]

Not necessarily? Depends what you’re doing

[trim blade]

gaming

[austere shale]

Depends on the game

If it’s a cpu intensive game then no, if it’s a GPU intensive game then I’d say yes

[trim blade]

arnt all games gpu intensive

[austere shale]

No

[trim blade]

like fortnite for example

[austere shale]

No not all games are gpu intensive, lots of games are cpu intensive. Especially games with destruction, or like Minecraft is cpu intensive, terraria too

Your CPU does what is on your screen/in your game. Your GPU just says what it looks like

Fortnite is very cpu heavy tho

[trim blade]

i just bought an rtx 4070ti super and my game is running choppy on fornite i was testing it keep dropping to 60 fps every second

[austere shale]

Here’s a quote “Your CPU handles tasks like physics calculations, audio processing, and keeping track of all the players and objects around you.”

[winged spire]

Also the TYPE of cpu usage is different even among different cpu dependent games

[trim blade]

can anyone suggest why this new gpu is running so choppy?

[winged spire]

Like is Minecraft actually multi core yet? (Java)

[austere shale]

Correct. That’s why a “bottleneck” is a very nuanced topic

[austere shale]

I don’t believe so. That’s why if you’re building a server most places recommend a cpu with as strong single core performance as possible

[winged spire]

Yep

That’s why most servers are maxed out at like 200 players

On a single instance*

Obviously Hypixel has like 100,000 players but along much smaller individual hubs and such

[sharp lynx]

id also recommend switching task manager to show logical processors and show kernel times cuz why not

[thorn sphinx]

Looks like it's the CPU that's struggling? Or did it run fine with your prior GPU? In which case you might need to update drivers.

[trim blade]

it was running fine with my previous gpu

i am using geoforce expirence

it says i dont need a new driver is there something else i should have installed

[austere shale]

https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

You’ll probably want to fully uninstall your old drivers and reinstall the ones for the new card

[trim blade]

ok will do

[austere shale]

Can’t promise it’ll help, but it definitely won’t hurt

[hollow prairie]

Alright

What the fuck is this

[shut lichen]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video

[austere shale]

Are there actually people who don’t know what those are. Is this what it’s like to feel old?

[trim blade]

where is the best place to reinstall drivers?

[austere shale]

Just your GeForce experience

[patent violet]

Do you know what SCART is

[hollow prairie]

I’m good with cars not this 5 pin bullshit

[hollow prairie]

Audio Video and Sound makes sense

I saw 5 plugs and my brainwaves went flat

[patent violet]

Component Video is using chroma/luma based video

[hollow prairie]

I just need an adaptor that goes to HDMI

[patent violet]

Basically the one you are used ot has the Y, PB, and Pr all in one

[vivid arch]

Guys wanna know something interesting. It involves a bit of yap tho

[patent violet]

component is considered by higher quality because it has all layers in their own channel and doesnt share "bandwidth"

[patent violet]

https://www.amazon.com/Component-Converter-YPBPR-Support-Player/dp/B07TYBLFYM

And for further information, Y is "Brightness", Pb is Blue Color DIfference, Pr is for red color difference

Take out the Pr you end up with something like this. Take out the Y you end up with a dark picture
Pb and Pr you get black and white

[trim blade]

when i try opening geoforce expirence it just asks or permission and then doesnt open

i used that download link

[austere shale]

You can always download the drivers manually from nvidias website

[trim blade]

ok i will probably do this then

hello

does anyone own the epomaker ek68 keyboard

[jaunty compass]

What should I name the custom mini PC project

[supple pawn]

Kang

[harsh quartz]

Rapture

Or Andre. Andre would be funny

[supple pawn]

Kang is so much cooler tho. Is like king Kong, but scaled down to human sized.

[winged spire]

It’s fume time 😈😈😈😈

[harsh quartz]

Kang is already something though

Idk I just think it’d be funny to name a mini-pc after Andre the giant

[pure knoll]

Kang is like marvel stuff

[marble sandal]

Why are there disconnected cables

[sharp lynx]

Is that a modular power supply? Either it's not and those are extra cables, or if that's a prebuilt then those were left in there just in case you want them. At least that's my guess

[sharp lynx]

Whered you get this PC if I may ask?

[marble sandal]

Cyber power

It’s a prebuilt

[sharp lynx]

Gotcha. Ya either it's a non-modular power supply and those cables are just sitting there, or it is a modular power supply and either they left them sitting there just in case you wanna use them, or theyre already plugged in ready for you to throw stuff in when you want to upgrade

[marble sandal]

oh alright, also could you help me with the lights, i cant get them to turn on for the life of me

im using armory crate and restarting but they still stay off

[sharp lynx]

Like, motherboard RGB or something? Or can you not address the lights? Or both?

[marble sandal]

just the rgb's in the computer so i massuming bothm i turned them off once when i was watching gladiator 2 and didnt want the light and they've never turned back on, even when i changed the setting in armory crate

[sharp lynx]

Gotcha. It's been a while since I used armory crate but I'd try double checking that the software sees the RGB, you mentioned you restarted the software and windows right?

And I assume you're using Windows, if it's Windows 11 then double check that dynamic lighting isnt trying to take control

(You may need to activate windows if it isn't already to change those settings)

[wispy marsh]

When a couple with the same last name have kids, is it true that the children usually choose to take the mom's last name?

[vapid smelt]

They usually take the dad's last time, that's why kings always wanted sons 'so they can' pass down their name

[manic torrent]

Children don't choose shit

Have you ever tried to get a baby to fill out a form?!

[frosty quartz]

They choose their genders and pronouns now adays!

[restive lion]

and theres a bad topic to bring up

[frosty quartz]

😇

[patent violet]

Have you ever tried to get an adult to fill out a form?

Its basically the same thing

[supple pawn]

Yeah but my Kang is better

[frosty quartz]

literally, adults dont even know how to shower now adays, aka me.

Anyways have yall ever used dial up internet? First time ever hearing about it rn lol. Its so retro and beautiful, i wish i was there when it came out.

[manic torrent]

Looool

[vapid smelt]

You couldn't use the phone and PC at the same time

[frosty quartz]

you literally dial the internet! 😆

[manic torrent]

Literally back in the day we had time limited internet

And latency was measured in hundreds of ms

[vapid smelt]

Did you get free Internet coupons in the mail?

[manic torrent]

There was no streaming. Downloading a single song would take ages.

[manic torrent]

Everyone did!

The entire concept of an "LPB" has been lost to time.

[frosty quartz]

no wonder you guys seem alot more knowledgable, yall started from the trenches fr lol

Im barely getting the hang of unzipping files and organizing files 🤣

[manic torrent]

I've had more years on the internet that you've been alive

[frosty quartz]

literally, i have like 10 years on the internet if that.

[vapid smelt]

I may have had dial up but I was born in 2000s and was a tv/ outdoor kid so I don't remember

[frosty quartz]

i never got to enjoy what computers can really do in the simplicity of it.

You can store so much data in files, out of the box for OS's, download pictures, or music, and idk mess around with apps.

I feel like gaming takes away from alot of the more like, looked over parts of pcs.

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, they have their mom's last name alright

[frosty quartz]

probably

[wispy marsh]

I think computers are simple

You have hardware, then you have the kernel, drivers and extensions, then you have the operating system, and then the software and applications

And you can have namespace emulation that tricks booted instances thinking they're running on hardware

And then physics, power efficiency, thermal regulation and availability becomes an issue just like car engines

[frosty quartz]

i love it. Simplicity. 😋

[wispy marsh]

And just like that, we have godlike abilities

Communicating over thousands of miles regardless of terrain and time, and being able to understand each other

[frosty quartz]

Youve had hands on experience from hardware through the rest?

I myself have only experimented with hardware, and i guess applications. And recently with OS, but got my ass kicked by linux

[wispy marsh]

(Network and weather constraints, satellites and gravity constraints yada yada but ykwim)

[wispy marsh]

I have relatively close to zero experience with hardware and software

If you include parasocial, personal relationships and parenting, i'm pretty much inferior to Bob in all of the ways

[frosty quartz]

lmao

whos bob anyways

[wispy marsh]

Looool

[winged spire]

Software is imaginary and don’t you dare let the cyber engineers tell you otherwise

Hardware is all that matters and you just have to ask them nicely to obey

🌚

[wispy marsh]

Via software

[winged spire]

No that’s not real

[wispy marsh]

Hyperconvergence and distributed fabric-wide workloads cannot be automated with just hardware

[winged spire]

You just whisper sweet nothings into your electronics

[wispy marsh]

By that logic, your soul and gods are not real

[winged spire]

Um

[wispy marsh]

They aren't real, relax

[winged spire]

I have something to tell you 😅

[winged spire]

Based

[manic torrent]

I'm just tihs guy, you know?

[frosty quartz]

so is an OS software?

[patent violet]

Yes

[manic torrent]

the difference between hardware and software is not as hard as you might think

we are on a massive trend of making hardware into software and software into hardware

[wispy marsh]

If it is hard, it's hardware

[manic torrent]

virtual machine vs FPGA

[winged spire]

FPGAs are cool

[wispy marsh]

That's why we give "intangible" stuff the name of of software

[winged spire]

A cool salary that comes along with it

[wispy marsh]

vm on fpga?

[manic torrent]

"firmware" - software that is hardware

[patent violet]

In fact, if you have ever heard the GNU/Linux thing,
OS is actually the software on top of the kernel that gives you an interface or a way to interact with your hardware as a human.
Kernel is the software that gives other software an API to interact with the hardware.
Firmware is the software directly programmed onto the hardware that tells the hardware how to act.
Hardware is the stuff that takes instructions and outputs it as electrical signals that can be interpreted by other hardware and interfaced with.

[winged spire]

Code makes my brain melt, I’ve tried to learn like 3 languages at this point and I just can’t

[manic torrent]

"microcode" - software that is a bit more hardware than firmware

[wispy marsh]

So does the dma function as software or hardware?

[winged spire]

I can crank out a half decent pcb in my sleep though

[manic torrent]

yes

[wispy marsh]

Correct

[patent violet]

DMA is a protocol essentially. Or a standard/feature. Its at the firmware level.

So software

[manic torrent]

many of the CPU instructions used used to be pure hardware, but now include abstractions

[patent violet]

DMA can operate over different signaling. PCIe is the most common one you will see

[frosty quartz]

PCIe is the one word i saw ealier! yay hooray

a slot for ssd on a motherboard! i think

[patent violet]

yes

[manic torrent]

no, a communications bus

[patent violet]

NVMe uses PCIe

And thats an SSD

[frosty quartz]

is bus a abbriviation for something?

[manic torrent]

... typically

[patent violet]

Yes

[patent violet]

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express

[blazing lily]

It’s soooo purrrrdy

[patent violet]

These are PCIe Slots

[manic torrent]

bus is a thing data travels on

[patent violet]

oh he said bus lol i thought he mean pcie. Glossed that

[frosty quartz]

You knew this off the top of your head?

[patent violet]

Yes

[manic torrent]

who doesn't?

[frosty quartz]

lolll

i mean you see my profile pic, it should tell you lots

[manic torrent]

NVMe can also work over TCP, UDP, and some others

[patent violet]

Ok well encapsulation is another thing

[manic torrent]

so you can actually use an ssd directly over a network

[manic torrent]

it's no more encapsulated than it is over PCIe

[patent violet]

Were putting a protocol over a signaling at that point to push DMA.

Composable Infrastructure is the same

[patent violet]

50K sold you could track it on the chain out the door

I mean, it doesn't even need to be a "scam". The entire nature of blockchain coins makes them fantastic breeeding grounds for shit that would be illegal/impossible typically

[wispy marsh]

Yes but dma is also within the pch

[patent violet]

Yes the pch has DMA capabilities. Thats a core piece to how the PCH works

[wispy marsh]

Hm, then dma <-> driver/kernel <-> on-device controller is all software

Do y'all thing arm processors will ever surpass x86 for PC use?

[thorn sphinx]

Still betting on RISC. Don't lie to me Angelina Jolie.

As to specifically ARM, I hope not.

[burnt bone]

It's already surpassed x86 (technically the correct term is AMD64 but potato tomato)

The only thing left for Apple to do is make their Macs open to installing Windows and Linux

[thorn sphinx]

https://asahilinux.org/
It's not Apple's fault the compatability is bad

[burnt bone]

But ARM (the correct term is Aarch64 which is even stupider so we'll ignore this) doesn't have x86's specific SIMD extensions that's heavily used by mathmaticians and physicists.

So for general use, ARM has surpassed x86. But that's not enough to upset AMD.

Because AMD still has the benefit of x86 CPUs and ecosystem with full ACPI+UEFI compliance, better SIMD extensions, market accessibility (you can't just willy nilly purchase an ARM server CPU as a consumer) and larger reach.

[restive lion]

i mean apple has shown in the past that theyre willing to let windows/leenux onto the macs

theyre just not interested in spending the money to implement it which is honestly fair enough

[burnt bone]

Apple intentionally leaves Linux devs in the dust. Asahi Linux is made up of fully reverse engineered software.

Also you can't entirely replace macOS, macOS has to be loaded before you can install Asahi Linux.

Apple Macs do not have standard UEFI ACPI compliance.

[thorn sphinx]

Apple has no obligation to provide open hardware. They are selling a very specific user experience.

[burnt bone]

Worst part? Apple Macs are currently the best ARM implementations.

ARM ecosystem is that scheisse and fragmented

Even so called 'UEFI ServerReady' ARM motherboards aren't really truly compliant

[restive lion]

tbh when youre running macos itself its pretty open to tomfoolery

[burnt bone]

true true

it provides enough command line tomfoolery to appease Linux users

[restive lion]

not even just cli stuff

want to replace spotlight? macos dont care

[burnt bone]

And it provides enough GUI eyecandy and feel for the average user.

So Apple doesn't have an obligation for Linux support.

[restive lion]

i feel like the people buying macs and hoping to run linux already know what theyre getting into lol

[thorn sphinx]

Seems to be more ARM's fault. ARM is bad.

[burnt bone]

I actually kinda support Apple's latest attempts to 'hunker down on 3rd party apps' requiring you to go through tons of security checks and balances to install stuff.

It's like a bar entry requirement to make sure you're really competent enough to be sysadmining your own machine.

[restive lion]

i do wish that it would fuck off after you do it a couple times, but in general yeah its a good thing

[burnt bone]

That's just how it is in Linux too so it's not too annoying for me

What's interesting is how 'similar' in principle macOS's service manager is to systemd. Perhaps it was an inspiration for systemd.

[thorn sphinx]

How do you right click in macOS?

[restive lion]

with the right click on your mouse?

[burnt bone]

With a regular mouse lol

[restive lion]

if you mean on their laptop trackpads specifically, you just click with two fingers

[burnt bone]

I did try out the magic mouse, it's not bad! Would've liked it to be a bit more ergodynamic but if you're an apple fan with tiny feminine hands, i can see the appeal to it.

[restive lion]

magic mouse is a cool concept with terrible execution lol

[burnt bone]

honestly I wished i had tiny feminine hands, would've made computer repair a lot more bearable

[thorn sphinx]

I have tiny feminine hands. It's a very uncomfortable mouse.

[burnt bone]

really? hmm....

[restive lion]

that being said, i still use the magic mouse sometimes because gestures are a lifesaver

[thorn sphinx]

Mice need more of an arch to them.

pacman -Syu ergonomics

[restive lion]

i cant imagine using anything but a magic mouse in my line of work though

[burnt bone]

Apple trackpads are still the best in class though nowadays some Windows Laptops are coming very veeerry close to it

[restive lion]

i do enjoy the trackpads

admittedly the one on this laptop is comically large

[full fossil]

Because if you're Apple, why would you spend money and time to let your competitors use your hardware without any effort?

Be open but let them do it themselves

[restive lion]

What is your point here

[full fossil]

Idk I just woke up

[restive lion]

That's literally what I said lol

[full fossil]

ye just realized

[grim belfry]

Apple doesn’t care whether or not enthusiasts use macOS on Macs

[full fossil]

Like they should

[grim belfry]

Yes but you were referring to other OSes as competitors

[full fossil]

Technically it is

Especially like Linux distros competing which one can kill itself first before Ubuntu does

Or how it can be more barebone like Gentoo or Arch

[grim belfry]

Apple doesn’t sell macOS

macOS isn’t a product, it’s a feature of a Mac

[full fossil]

So if I bought a laptop from Asus

Does it mean Windows is a feature then?

[grim belfry]

No.

Because Windows is a product.

[full fossil]

So since Microsoft makes laptops and it comes with Windows by default like MacOS

[grim belfry]

A product is a complete item that can be sold on its own, while a feature is a specific part of a product that adds value but can't be sold separately

[full fossil]

Does it mean Windows is a feature of Surface laptops and all?

[grim belfry]

No.

Windows is still a product.

OneUI isn’t a product, it’s a feature.

[alpine peak]

Microsoft allows you to download Windows from their website in form of an ISO file.
Apple does not.

[restive lion]

Weeeeellll

Technically they do it'll just refuse to run on anything other than a Mac lol

[alpine peak]

Trying to run it on a custom PC would be pointless.

[grim belfry]

Not pointless. People do it

[alpine peak]

Have not seen any to be honest.

[restive lion]

I can also download an absurd amount of their other os images from App Store Connect

[grim belfry]

Strange? Yes.
Pointless? No.

[alpine peak]

If you wish to use mac then buy a macbook

Even the cheap ones are good enough to do alot of productivity jobs.

[full fossil]

This is something that bothers me the most to be honest, people saying that MacOS cannot do this and that like Linux even though the percentage of people who would do that is like 0.1%

[grim belfry]

Why do people put spoilers on their shitbox cars? Just buy a Porsche

[restive lion]

I am going to put an 18" cone sub in my car and no one will stop me

[alpine peak]

I think Mac is pretty good in terms of productivity.
I own one myself and it works pretty well.

[restive lion]

Fear me other drivers on the road

[grim belfry]

So you’re one of those people?

[restive lion]

Lol no

[alpine peak]

Linux is good if you value insane levels of customizablity and appearance, which personally I do not.

[full fossil]

Mac is good for 'everyday laptop'. Battery last long, this and that. and if I wanted to work I just ssh it to my Linux server

[restive lion]

A sub came with my car and I got rid of it

[full fossil]

It's like every OS has their own use

[alpine peak]

Exactly.

Personally I feel the Linux community becomes too toxic when it comes to other OSes

[grim belfry]

I don’t think that’s a very significant reason most people use Linux

[zinc kite]

Hello

[alpine peak]

Yes, I am aware Linux users like freedom and all too.

[restive lion]

The big reason is so they can tell the entire world which distro they use

[grim belfry]

Once again I really don’t think that’s much of a reason for most

[full fossil]

I love Linux. All the distros are great. It everything runs like crap. The games and everything sucks. But everything Linux exclusive is great

[alpine peak]

Linux also has uses in specific works.
I am a Cybersecurity student and I use Kali Linux as my secondary OS, and alot of my time it spent on it.

[grim belfry]

Tux Racer? :p

[restive lion]

Holy shit someone using kali properly?

Never thought id see the day

[alpine peak]

Exactly.
"I use Arch btw" is such a common thing I have seen.

[grim belfry]

Never mind there’s a windows build of Tux Racer

[restive lion]

Arch users are just loud

Gentoo users are the ones you've gotta watch out for

[grim belfry]

I use Ubuntu btw

[alpine peak]

Most people who run Kali are script kiddies who think they can hack everything.

[full fossil]

I am very toxic against Linux run on consumer hardware

[grim belfry]

Because they can!!!
They are haxx0rs!

[grim belfry]

Why lmao

[full fossil]

I personally believe a good linux system should be just a terminal.

[restive lion]

Good news you can have that too

[full fossil]

Fuck KDE, GNOME is a bloat.

[restive lion]

But others don't want just that

[full fossil]

I have 3 to be exact and I am not turning back.

[raven grove]

This guy uses arch

[full fossil]

Ubuntu server and Nvidia DGX Ubuntu

[alpine peak]

Actual hacking requires writing your own exploits. It requires alot of social engineering and sometimes breaking into places too. There is alot which goes on instead of just running 1-2 scripts from youtuber and thinking youre a hacker

[grim belfry]

And is 5x less productive than if they just used a minimal GUI :p

[alpine peak]

I personally hate Linux users who think they are superior simply cause of their OS.

[grim belfry]

I daily drive ChromeOS.

[alpine peak]

Like alright, your hobby is working on your desktop to customize, alright.
Thats not my hobby and I like to have a life, let me be happy with my windows.

[restive lion]

Clearly this man is superior

[grim belfry]

I actually could for most of my work

[full fossil]

They're not. Every OS has its own use

Like Windows for general programs and gaming, MacOS for "I want Linux-like experience but with Windows-like creature comfort", Linux for all pure play, ChromeOS

[grim belfry]

Is it cheating if I use Windows App inside ChromeOS?

Then I could do everything on a Chromebook

[alpine peak]

Most of the people in the programming industry who specifically work on apps for windows, are using windows.

If youre designing apps for a particular OS, better to be on that particular OS.

[full fossil]

A Linux user, vegan, and crossfitter walks into a bar. Within 10 seconds, everyone at the bar knows who they were

[grim belfry]

I’m vegan

I hate crossfitters

[restive lion]

were

[full fossil]

Hawk Tuah

[alpine peak]

Thanks for making me laugh 😂

[full fossil]

Tbh the only reason why I use Linux is most of the shit I need to do works there damn well

[alpine peak]

Same reason for me.
My cybersec programs run on it, so I use it through a Live USB.

[full fossil]

I have a Linux jump server

It's a good compute machine

And I can have multiple users SSH-ing into it at the same time and shit

[alpine peak]

Gaming is still better on windows, right?

[full fossil]

Yes, and always will be.

[alpine peak]

Yea thats an advantage

[grim belfry]

[full fossil]

I also have dual A100's with ARM and I know it would be shit if it runs on Windows

[grim belfry]

WoA doesn’t have dedicated GPU support yet does it?

[full fossil]

Probably

I don't use WoA

And because of it, I need to learn how to CUDA

[alpine peak]

Computers are bloatware.
Work on a typewriter, that is best.

[grim belfry]

Yep still doesn’t have it

[full fossil]

If I say DE is a bloatware, the entire linux ricing community would hate me

[alpine peak]

Fr

[full fossil]

Like

[frosty quartz]

what type of third party apps you be trying to download exactly though??

[full fossil]

I am so addicted to terminal to the point I have iSH (Basically Alpine Linux) on my iPhone and I can SSH to my main machines with it

[alpine peak]

Don't worry, they hate everything which doesn't run on linux, that includes humans

[full fossil]

Not capping btw.

[alpine peak]

Coding on an iPhone

[full fossil]

This shit is aarch so I can't use regular ML libraries to do work, so this is just some "I did shit in CUDA just because I can"

[alpine peak]

Crazy

[full fossil]

I use vim on an iPhone.

[alpine peak]

How?

[full fossil]

During lab meeting I need to diagnose my code since I am porting it from Apple MPS to CUDA

I took out my phone and connect it to my server and just code there

and run the shit there

[winged spire]

I do cad on my phone like weekly

[full fossil]

The thing about vim is you only need a keyboard and arrow keys to work.

[winged spire]

🌚

[full fossil]

iSH's keyboard has both of them

Fucking VIM

[frosty quartz]

yall showing me things i wouldve never seen in my whole life.

[tough drum]

Sometimes I feel a bit like ☝️🤓... actually a megabit 😉

[alpine peak]

So you just ssh into the terminal and use vim like that?

[full fossil]

Yes

[alpine peak]

Can it be done on android too?

[full fossil]

Technically it can as long as it has ssh

[frosty quartz]

so what exactly you be telling your pc to do when your out and about?

[full fossil]

I can also do scp and shit to pull files.

[frosty quartz]

now thats sick af.

Can it pull files such as spread sheets?

or mp3 files??

[full fossil]

yes

I pull images with scp

[frosty quartz]

thats hot

[full fossil]

What’s the best sounding and build keyboard

I want something that will last me a while with a very light mouse too

[full fossil]

I can SSH to my jump server via tailscale or to my authorized server wiht it

Do work with it, run shit with it

It's just another way to access it

[full fossil]

Usually if I need to train models I just go to bed, open tmux, and run the script

Then detach, and logout.

And sleep.

[frosty quartz]

im too noob to comprehend.. I wont bother asking wtf tmux is. Mimis time

[winged spire]

My contact just fell out into my fuckjng thing of epoxy

[full fossil]

Tmux is basically windowed terminal

[winged spire]

What are the odds 💀💀💀

[full fossil]

So one of the things on tty only systems is you're limited to 1 screen

Tmux allows you to run windows of them and run different operations at the same time

[frosty quartz]

ah i see, but what you mean train models?

[full fossil]

I'm a ML student

[frosty quartz]

ML?

sorry im actually a noob lmao

[full fossil]

Like here, I have one pane for the code I have, Nvidia-SMI so I get the vram use, and open terminal

[full fossil]

Machine Learning

[frosty quartz]

i wish i could look at that page closer to read the code.. im running windows os through my microwave rn so the screen is very limited

do i have to download it to zoom in lol?

[silent lichen]

Is a super small watch battery and a led considered tech here

[wispy moth]

Hi

[versed path]

[thorn sphinx]

The definition of technology is so broad, that yes. As long as you can make is more complex than necessary by being extremely pedantic.

I have quite a few watch batteries laying around, and I commonly use them to quickly test LED's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uHZB7-T_XA
Good video on LED's.

[alpine peak]

Depends on your price range and stuff

If you want a keyboard which allows you to set actuation points, you can go for Wooting keyboards

If you just want a keyboard which is good for gaming, typing and provides a good experience with fairly okay price, I'd suggest a company like Keychron.
They have wide variety of keyboards in different sizes, with different switch types and overall a very good company

If you want a VERY GAMING CENTRIC keyboard then go for companies like Wooting, Razer, steelseries etc etc

[thorn sphinx]

Opinion of Duckys?

[alpine peak]

Also pls stay away from Logitech, just a personal advice

[alpine peak]

Oh yes Duckys are also so good

Shit I should have mentioned ducky keyboards too
They are really good

[thorn sphinx]

I sampled one at a Microcenter, and it made me want one lol

[alpine peak]

I definitely would have chosen Ducky keyboard for my life if it was available in my country
I had to go with Keychron

Though Im still happy with my choice

[thorn sphinx]

I saw a Keychron there too, it looked cool

[burnt bone]

Handbrake, OnlyOffice, just gotta go through the hoops of installing iterm2 and the nix package manager :P

then it's kinda smooth sailing

[alpine peak]

Keychron and Ducky are the two companies I can recommend for a casual gamer who also needs to type

These 2 companies are not crazy expensive and provide a really good experience

And their keyboards come in many flavours so you can get that keyboard enthusiastic feel

[burnt bone]

funnily enough I have a better experience in macOS and Linux than Windows

DLL hell and Registry hell.

[thorn sphinx]

Linux
Dependency hell

[hallow cypress]

Are all of Samsung's monitors smart monitors? I swtg I hate smart monitors

[burnt bone]

i don't understand what you're trying to say

[alpine peak]

I have most experience in windows and then mac and then linux

[thorn sphinx]

Every OS has their own hell.

[burnt bone]

I mean obviously for me I'm """Seasoned""" but I also think that Linux shouldn't be adopted by the general public just so soon. We still have a lot of cleaning up to do.

[thorn sphinx]

Though any competent package manager will not have that problem.

[burnt bone]

honestly, true, but i chose the poison that I had the most resistance to

[alpine peak]

I agree with that too

I think Linux community needs to become more mature in terms of their behaviour towards other OS 💀💀

[thorn sphinx]

Gatekeeping is really bad on Linux

[burnt bone]

Also Linux and macOS has an updating system that isn't made up of cards glued together with elmer's glue

[burnt bone]

honestly yeah

[alpine peak]

Yea pretty sure from what I read about Linus Torvalds, he has been very rude and toxic in the public

[burnt bone]

also hey is your nickname a reference to the Nightingale Pledge

[thorn sphinx]

Torvalds is a fun guy. Say's what he's thinking.

[alpine peak]

I think sometimes the Linux community gives very stupid arguments when trying to prove that their OS is better.

[thorn sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-NGegOZ3nQ

[burnt bone]

I'll have to defend Torvalds a bit.

I think he's rude and a bit toxic but only to the right people. Most of his 'angry comments' are through Linux mailling lists.

And given the security stakes that the guy has, being in charge of the one thing that many governments and companies rely on for business, I think he was quite okay given the immense stress.

[civic fox]

LOL

[burnt bone]

Because he knows that if he fucks up he'll screw over tens of billions of dollars

[alpine peak]

The linux users would often just say "oh 90% of servers and non-desktop devices run on Linux"

Bro so what?
The discussion is about desktops, what matters is desktop, why are you bringing up the market share of other devices
You cannot change the fact that desktops are 2% on Linux

[thorn sphinx]

Glad it's up to 2% now.

[burnt bone]

Linus Torvalds nowadays is a lot more calm

[olive saddle]

ok I think i've finally figured it out-

I don't dislike android. I dislike OneUI

been toying with a pixel 9 pro and a moto razr+, and those seem great

but on the fold 6 or 24Ultra, something about the UI just feels bad man idk

[burnt bone]

Like, a lot. Which is good.

[alpine peak]

Fair enough thats understandable

[grim belfry]

OneUI is so annoying

I agree

[alpine peak]

Im just annoyed that whenever the topic of desktop market share comes up, linux users would start referring to non-desktop devices to prove their point

[grim belfry]

Returned my Flip6/7 whatever because I hated OneUI

[burnt bone]

Not all Russians, the ones that are involved directly in the Russian MIC

Some Russians that are solo/hired elsewhere are not affected whatsoever.

As in the Russians in charge of companies making ballistic missiles .etc

[olive saddle]

the pixel 9 pro xl is the first phone after the fold 5 to make me want to move away from iphone

my fold 5 broke, and i really didn't like oneUI

idk i'm super bored with my iphone, but i've disliked every android phone i've had since the oneplus 3T lmao

but i'm deeeeeeeeeep in the ecosystem so the transistion would be rough

[burnt bone]

And Linus Torvalds is a Finn, Finns have had a long angry history with Russia at large :P

[grim belfry]

I just wish zee-flip would run iOS :(

[olive saddle]

rumor mill is a spinnin for a flip style iPhone in the next couple of years

[thorn sphinx]

Yes. And they swear a lot in casual conversation from what I've experienced.

[grim belfry]

Also if they made the exterior screen not useless

[burnt bone]

peeeeerrrrrrkeleeeee

[olive saddle]

the exterior screen on the razr+ is wayyyyyyyy better than the flip 6

[alpine peak]

Just use whatever OS you are comfortable with. Easy!

[grim belfry]

I give it 5 years 😆

[olive saddle]

but no matter how often I reccomend it, people always go for the flip cuz muh smassumg

[grim belfry]

The Flip6 was only really used for notifications and even for that you had to put in your pin/ fingerprint so it’d be quick to just flip it open

[olive saddle]

yeah its almost like a smartwatch interface

[grim belfry]

Mmmh yeah that’s exactly what it was

Except not on your wrist 😆

[olive saddle]

i push people as hard as possible to the pixels or razr, but they ALWAYS just want the fuckin S24FE

blablabla s24FE

ALL DAY

most every carrier will THROW a pixel 9 pro XL at you for basically free, and yet people would rather pay tons for a midrange samsung

[torn ocean]

Anybody know why my question in the help channel get removed without any notice? I don't understand it

[pliant leaf]

They were perfectly justified, even removing the war russians fucking suck at programming

[alpine gale]

Sort of free - if you have to sign a contract or otherwise raise the cost of your phone plan to get the "free" phone, it's not actually free. 😉 I can get a Pixel 9 Pro for "$0" upfront, but only if I'm willing to add $58.21 CAD to my monthly plan, which means I'll be paying over $100 CAD per month instead of what I'm currently paying. It's not free.

[alpine gale]

Not deleted? https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1315179612140994631

[shut lichen]

That's what we call financing

[olive saddle]

what i normally say is that the 'gotcha' is that we're not giving you the phone for free, we're paying your monthly installment. so you're technically still under a ""contract"" by way of owing on your phone, but that will only come into play if you want to leave or something in the next 36 months

since the launch of the pixel 9 pro xl, if you bring in something that has a $35 trade in value, your monthly payments are covered

and its such a good phone

but i've sold maybe 3, ever

[torn ocean]

aha, couldn't see it when i was looking for it

[alpine gale]

Bingo. You're financing the phone on subsidy. They're not giving you a free phone. ✅

[olive saddle]

yeah, so as long as you haven't had any recent complaints with your carrier, i don't see why thats an issue

thats how i've gotten all my phones at least

[burnt bone]

Carrier phones suck. You're bootloader and in the case of NA, carrier locked. And you pay more for a shittier phone
