It's probably fine, but don't rely on warrany or anything like that

[uncut sand]

Hey, is anyone in here an electrical engineer? I would like to have a consultation about a schematic

[hearty spear]

If you build it, they will come

[manic torrent]

Nice context

[thorn spruce]

My flight got delayed

[fossil frost]

Signal RGB and open RGB both kick the shit out of the bloated shit-ware that comes from the manufactures

[deep solstice]

If your stuff is supported yeah

[dense crow]

Hi long time viewer casual gamer tech/3d printing nerd mechanical engineer to trade

I also own an Airsoft field hence the name

Robert

[fossil frost]

Open RGB supports almost everything

[harsh quartz]

Huh, I wonder why they call it open

[inland oracle]

i updated iCue and suddenly my pc doesn’t have wifi

nice 🥰

[bitter harbor]

I tried both and in all honesty, I have given up on proper rgb control

[harsh quartz]

Icue 🤮

[inland oracle]

yes i know

[fossil frost]

OpenRGB + Effects Plugin + Visual Map Plugin... winner

even got it to control random LED matrix boards i bought from aliexpress

[bitter harbor]

Signal rgb also almost bricked my corsair mouse that it “said” was supported

[graceful burrow]

How do you figure it almost bricked it

[bitter harbor]

Basic functionality just not working

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/unfortunately-i-died-but-i-survived-ice-age-buck-crash-gif-17916310

[graceful burrow]

Can you give context or anything

[manic torrent]

and yet signalRGB worked fine with my corsair mouse

[graceful burrow]

Signalrgb hasn't messed anything I use up lol

[thorn spruce]

SignalRGB bricked my mouse

Corsair dark core

[bitter harbor]

I was considering on loading the firmware they had for my keychron keyboard but because of my experience with the mouse and I couldn’t get my cheapo rgb fans to cooperate, I decided not to risk my $100 keyboard

[fossil frost]

RGB is on a different controller, on a different usb "device"... on all corsair mice.. it CANT brick your mouse.. it MIGHT be able to put your RGB into a state where it doesnt work, but that would be reset when you ran a factory reset on it

[thorn spruce]

Not mine, min got fucked

I had to RMA it

[fossil frost]

the RGB protocols all these devices use are specifically set up to not interfere with the usual operations of the devices.. for security and for functionality reasons

[thorn spruce]

Sure..

[fossil frost]

nobody cares what you think, you have been a non-stop troll here for 3 days

[thorn spruce]

BRUH WUT

[bitter harbor]

You underestimate how cheaply stuff is made

[fossil frost]

you underestimate how much i contribute to open source software, and actually do research on this stuff

[manic torrent]

no, he understands how stuff is made, and he's correct.

[thorn spruce]

He is incorrect

Corsair is one chips

[graceful burrow]

If changing rgb bricked the mouse then the mouse deserved to get bricked tbh

[thorn spruce]

Corsair boycott

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585> do we have to continue dealing with this troll?

[thorn spruce]

What exactly am I doing wrong?

This is the second time someone pinged them

[fossil frost]

non-stop baiting, non stop contrary opinions for the sake of baiting, non stop misinformation... just to name a few

[thorn spruce]

Ok

[tender glade]

whats wrong with corsair

[thorn spruce]

Nothing I love Corsair

[fossil frost]

they are lying about an experience they had with a mouse to try and annoy me

they are using somebody elses experience to shit stir, same as they have since they arrived here

[barren meteor]

hi

[thorn spruce]

@fossil frost dm

[manic torrent]

"wahhhh what did I even do wrong" - annoying people

[harsh quartz]

Icue :(

[thorn spruce]

Yo

[bitter harbor]

I eventually replaced my mouse with a Logitech G502X light speed because I was already looking at getting a quality wireless mouse and I no longer care about the pretty lights. And it has onboard memory so I can keep the software from running in the background saving system resources

[thorn spruce]

I want to swap all my peripherals to Logitech

[fossil frost]

you bought the best mouse... even though openrgb didnt break it... whatever mouse you bought being shit.. did you a favour if it made you buy THE mouse

[manic torrent]

oh no my precious resources

I bought a G502X plus because I care about pretty lights

[thorn spruce]

Nobody

[manic torrent]

But prior to that I was using a corsair dark core rgb pro se, because I refused to buy a micro USB device in 2024

[fossil frost]

i bought the g502x litespeed because i didnt want a wire, and i have big hands, and i dont like mice that weigh nothing 🙂

[graceful burrow]

I got mine as a birthday present :3

[manic torrent]

The powerplay mat is excellent.

[thorn spruce]

lol I’m using that rn it takes usb c

[manic torrent]

yes - that's the point.

[thorn spruce]

What kinds of connector did you want

[manic torrent]

USB C.

[thorn spruce]

Yes

[manic torrent]

I think you have fundamentally failed to understand my message.

[thorn spruce]

Yes I did

But I got it

We use same mouse twins

[manic torrent]

No, we don't.

[thorn spruce]

Ok gtg my flight is boarding

Will not have internet so I’ll miss you guys

[manic torrent]

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen get fucked

[fossil frost]

btw... bob... i have only just discovered the ability to place custom map markers in satisfactory.... i now have a non-zero level of anger... 😄 (really could have used them... a lot... 😄 )

[manic torrent]

lol, derp.

[inland oracle]

so does anyone know how i could fix this before i spend 7 hours troubleshooting

[manic torrent]

I finished my FICSMAS factory and unlocked the whole tree

[manic torrent]

post hoc ergo propter hoc

[inland oracle]

post what

[inland oracle]

Ok

[manic torrent]

It is very unlikely that icue had anything to do with your wifi

[inland oracle]

ah yes my wifi was fine for multiple years and then when i update icue it broke but it had nothing to do with it

makes sense

[fossil frost]

its called "a coincidence"

[inland oracle]

surely

[manic torrent]

correct

[inland oracle]

are you stupid on purpose

[fossil frost]

ok... we are telling you it had nothing to do with icue, you are saying it DOES... so clearly you already know more than we do, and do not need our help...

[manic torrent]

I understand how wifi works and how icue works... and there is basically no crossover between them.

[inland oracle]

fucking with drivers

[fossil frost]

icue doesnt touch your drivers, it has no reason to do so

[manic torrent]

If your understanding of "drivers" is as an amorphous blob, sure.

[inland oracle]

ok so my wifi just decided to randomly combust as soon as i updated icue but downloading and updating thousands of things didn’t do it before

[manic torrent]

now you're getting it

[fossil frost]

icue communicates over the existing USB HID drivers, built into windows.. or the existing i2c drivers, built into windows... neither of which have anything to do with your wifi

[bitter harbor]

Could that change if you are using one of those usb WiFi dongles?

[fossil frost]

network adapters are not a human input device... so no

[manic torrent]

If you are using USB wifi something has gone very wrong in your life

[inland oracle]

ok so instead of arguing about icue does anyone have any ideas

[fossil frost]

USB HID is the USB Human Input Device driver (driver stack)... there are several other built in USB drivers in windows... for different default classes of device

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/tried-nothing-flanders-out-of-gif-9662944

[fossil frost]

you accidentally uninstalled the wrong thing, or you accidentally disabled the wrong thing.. or you accidentally put your computer into airplane mode.. or your parents turned off the wifi at the hub

[bitter harbor]

Try reinstalling the WiFi drivers

[inland oracle]

i didn’t install anything

uninstall*

i didn’t disable anything or touch anything i just updated icue

[manic torrent]

.... lol. wtf would you recommend this from nothing.

[manic torrent]

I've heard that one before

[fossil frost]

you didnt do anything that you are aware of... you are now blindly saying "i didnt do anything" without actually looking into any of it

[manic torrent]

is wifi enabled. Can you see it in the task bar, does it say it's connected, is it in device manager, what errors are you getting if any. Basic shit.

[inland oracle]

i literally turned my pc on, hit windows, typed “icue” pressed enter and then pressed update and my wifi wasn’t on since

[manic torrent]

well then case closed. I guess icue has ghosts

[inland oracle]

my pc is literally acting like i have no wifi adapters

no wifi ssids coming up

[fossil frost]

ok... other than telling us we are wrong, what have you actually tried ?

[manic torrent]

not an answer to the questions

[neon mesa]

Why i won't ever take a frontline tech support job
Exhibit A:

[bitter harbor]

It is the similar as “Have you tried turning it off and back on again?”

[vital oak]

try switching to netbsd and a dreamcast

[manic torrent]

it really isn't.

[vital oak]

http://www.netbsd.org/ports/dreamcast/ it’s awesome

[graceful burrow]

Not really

[vital oak]

i’m joking that isn’t meant to happen though

[graceful burrow]

Rebooting the pc and reinstalling drivers are separate actions

[vital oak]

have u considered #1027757333117415424

[inland oracle]

can you see i’m already talking to 2 people about it

[graceful burrow]

Yeah but you should be there tbf

[alpine gale]

Download & install WiFi drivers for the WiFi chipset. If your motherboard has WiFi built-in, you'd get drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's site, otherwise you'd visit the WiFi chipset manufacturer's site and get the drivers from there. Also, #1027757333117415424 is the correct place for troubleshooting.

[vital oak]

in #1027757333117415424?

[inland oracle]

1 sec i’m just ripping out all the rgb shit from my pc and i’ll turn it back on

[graceful burrow]

Since this isn't tech support, after all

[inland oracle]

no bruh 🤦‍♂️

[vital oak]

you’d probably get better help from tech support

[graceful burrow]

You should probably make a thread then

[manic torrent]

yes, that's absolutely the first troubleshooting step

[vital oak]

the triple reactions terrify me

[graceful burrow]

People aren't here for tech support so you're only ever gonna get snarky nerds

[inland oracle]

it’s just rgb fan hub shit

[neon mesa]

Pay me $150/hr and I'll put some effort

[graceful burrow]

Real

[manic torrent]

Brb getting a vasectomy to fix my I/O speed.

[fossil frost]

it doesnt work...

[neon mesa]

Speaking of I/O speed issues, last place I'd expect it is in Minecraft and i got one

[vital oak]

that’s a hhkb an hour

[neon mesa]

This is supposed to be a 240kFE connection

[vital oak]

(used on a nice deal)

[neon mesa]

Turns out the batteries are "shorting" themselves

I should try out a real factory esque game like satisfactory instead of modded Minecraft ngl

[fossil frost]

satisfactory is awesome

but its also a time hole

[bitter harbor]

Mods are also often free so I wouldn’t judge

[neon mesa]

There's always the seven seas if i really don't wanna pay for it

But nah nowadays i rather not play than pirate

Not because of my morals that is, im just lazy.

[fossil frost]

satisfactoy is on sale right now btw

[neon mesa]

Not in a position to buy anything more after how much i blew in the last 30 days

[bitter harbor]

If groceries and basic necessities went on sales as deep as the games on steam, things would be a lot easier

[neon mesa]

Valve Groceries

[bitter harbor]

90% off gas and rent for a couple weeks

[fossil frost]

never paid rent, wouldnt know anything about that

i made the wise decision of being born in the past... when it was possible to get a mortgage as a young person... and have watched the market very carefully and always renewed and got a fixed term deal on a low rate

currently on a 1.2% rate, while everyone around me is getting stung with 5.9%

[terse igloo]

sounds like hax

[vital oak]

the other hack is being rich

[fossil frost]

tried that. doesnt go well if you are not a psychopath... unfortunately.. i am not one

[terse igloo]

unfortunately? interesting choice of words

[fossil frost]

it stopped me from getting rich 😛

[terse igloo]

no. to get rich you must be a sociopath

[fossil frost]

sociopaths are generally murderers, psychopaths have no concience and usually only do whatever benefits them, because other people dont enter into the equasion

(sociopath is lack of empathy and remorse, psychopath is a lack of conscience)

[terse igloo]

the terminology of those words just mixes me up. seems more like sociopaths should act like how psychopaths are portrayed

[manic torrent]

yeah, this is not a controversial take

[fossil frost]

yeah, it always annoyed me too, mainstream media uses the terms interchangeably, but also the wrong way round

[terse igloo]

i mean socio is a derivative of social aint it?

[terse igloo]

ah. yet another thing to blame the media for... mostly

[vapid smelt]

Arizona tea owner isnt a sociopath

[terse igloo]

obviously there are expections to the rule, but there is still generalizations

[neon mesa]

Getting rich fast and just getting rich are different though

[fossil frost]

this should clear it up.... the CEO that was murdered, was a psychopath, the guy that murdered the CEO, is a sociopath 🙂

[terse igloo]

just because there are a few exceptions doesn't mean the generalization isn't valid

[terse igloo]

i understood it before this explanation. but still. the actual words feel like they should be the opposite of their definitions

[vapid smelt]

One was a villain the other a hero

[terse igloo]

but even the villain being killed shouldn't be celebrated. he was still a man with a family

[fossil frost]

he is personally responsible for the deaths of 1000s of people who also had families

[manic torrent]

yeah... nah.

[terse igloo]

so that shoul djustify what happened?

[manic torrent]

literally yes

[last arch]

Sigma sigma boy, sigma boy, sigma boy

[terse igloo]

I'm not saying what he did wasn't wrong, I'm saying how it was dealt with should not be celebrated

[fossil frost]

what i thought was odd/funny/whatever... is usually when someone is killed.. or dies.. there is a period of time, usually on the order of weeks, months, or years... before it becomes acceptable to say bad things about them, or make jokes about them.... for this CEO guy... that period of time was about 9 seconds... and the whole world was more or less unified with "yeah, fuck that guy"...

[manic torrent]

why not?

Are you concerned it might cause others to do the same thing? oh no! that would be .... terrible...

[neon mesa]

Ehh tbh CEO of public companies have less powers than it appears, just a cog in the machine, as we see he's just immediately replaced and nothing changed.

[terse igloo]

because instead of actual change being brought from within the company, someone had to die to bring in the change people wanted to see

[bitter harbor]

So psychopaths are car salesmen

[terse igloo]

I am not oine for murder in general

[neon mesa]

The real power is in the shareholder board

[fossil frost]

honestly.. yes it should... the ruling class needs to know that the working class wont have their throat stood on, wont be oppressed, and wont be forced into early deaths in the interest of profit forever... many of the health insurance companies in the USA made policy changes, that benefit the american public, because of this

[manic torrent]

yeah, that change is not forthcoming.

[fossil frost]

so his death was a result of the deaths of 1000s of people, and his death in the way it was done... has saved 1000s of other people

[neon mesa]

UHC new CEO said nothing is changing

[terse igloo]

But why does that justify killing someone?

[neon mesa]

So there's definitely nothing saved

[manic torrent]

multiple other companies have changed policies.

[fossil frost]

CEOs, billionaires, all that type, should be scared that we could come for them at any point if they push us too far

[fossil frost]

they are the only one

[manic torrent]

because when you have no power to affect any change....

[terse igloo]

you should go do a crime

sound logic

[manic torrent]

you are being sarcastic, but that's legitimately correct.

[fossil frost]

french revolution.. a crime at the time... american revolution... a crime at the time... the arab spring, a crime at the time... all revolutions that history looks at as the right thing to do

[neon mesa]

Revolutions don't always end great
The soviets

[fossil frost]

all those things involved killing a bunch of the ruling class, because they were bad rulers

[bitter harbor]

1 revolution is still 360 degrees so in some sense you are right back where you started

[fossil frost]

but that was considered a crime at the time, and is currently considered that it was a good thing.. in that area

[manic torrent]

inequality that caused the french revolution was LESS than the current levels in the US

[neon mesa]

The russian royal family was ass but the soviet union was definitely worse

[manic torrent]

wow, I am 14 and this is deep

[fossil frost]

france recently threatened revolution, just a few years ago, for far less than their more famous one... they are the prototype for "we have our leaders by their balls".. and their leaders know it

[manic torrent]

ehhhhh, I think you'll find it's just different varieties of suck

[neon mesa]

I hate someone like the UHC CEO as much as the next guy but a free for all has an equal chance of making the world into gotham

[manic torrent]

The world is ALREADY shit.

[fossil frost]

you speak like we dont already live there

[manic torrent]

Almost everyone is one bad day away from a completely ruined life.

[bright marten]

[fossil frost]

tbh, thats more of a controversial topic than murdering CEOs

[manic torrent]

how are you putting a bbq on a pizza

[bitter harbor]

Cereal is a form of cold soup

[terse igloo]

I feel like we have taken general away from what it should be

[fossil frost]

bbq sauce instead of tomato

[sage quiver]

ono

[vapid smelt]

Replacement for regular tomato based sauce

[alpine gale]

Obligatory Peepza image is obligatory.
"Mmmm good. Put some on your head. Your tongue would slap your brains out tryin' to get to it."

[sage quiver]

k maybe not bbq sauce

[terse igloo]

that is a crime against god

[civic fox]

i would eat that

[manic torrent]

jod doesn't care about pizza

[inland oracle]

mods tell me to ask about tech support in the right channel and then post marshmallow pizza or whatever tf that is

[fossil frost]

for sharing this cursed image, as part of my revolution to overthrow the mods... i require you to report to the guillotine

[terse igloo]

he should if it has been disgraced like this

[manic torrent]

Send it to discord

[vital oak]

but i wanna run netbsd on it

[tepid jasper]

but you'll definitely notice if your noodles have not great texture

[alpine gale]

Well, if there were such a message, and you knowingly sent it, you'd be violating Discord Terms of Service...

[tepid jasper]

do it

[viscid elm]

No you would not

[tepid jasper]

you fucking wont

[vital oak]

you indeed would not

[viscid elm]

Just sounds like cringe

[tepid jasper]

no one cares

man just fucking do it if you have it

[viscid elm]

Do it

[tepid jasper]

nobody gives a shit about your stupid "exploit"

[viscid elm]

Ok?

[tepid jasper]

i don't care just fucking do it already

[vital oak]

damn

[viscid elm]

I could not care less

[vital oak]

i was not here

[viscid elm]

They do not care

[tepid jasper]

i think you're full of shit

[viscid elm]

Also it would be LMG

[thorn spruce]

I’m finally on the plain 2 hour delay

[viscid elm]

Ok so send it?

[tepid jasper]

just fucking do it already

[vital oak]

plain

[manic torrent]

what if you only had one shot

[tepid jasper]

jesus fucking christ, stop dragging it on

[thorn spruce]

Aeroplain

[shut birch]

?

[hot tartan]

Oh so scary

[amber forge]

sips

I think it didn’t work

@tawny nebula

[shut birch]

@tawny nebula pow

[tepid jasper]

oh it works again

[vital oak]

ok well fair enough

[grim belfry]

Well

[vital oak]

bro wasn’t bullshitting

[viscid elm]

yay its back

[tepid jasper]

wait wack

my mobile and desktop client of this channel is toally different

they're unsynced

[vital oak]

i had to ask my friend to ping me lol

[tepid jasper]

that was a first

[vital oak]

i’m very impressed

[tepid jasper]

yeah

[viscid elm]

Mine are normal

[tepid jasper]

i was sure they were bullshitting

welp

[viscid elm]

first time i have seen a cringy chap actually not bullshit

[vital oak]

lmfaoo

i don’t even know what to say

[viscid elm]

what do we think, integer overflow?

[tepid jasper]

oh i was on tc1 on my phone lol

[viscid elm]

xd

i would imagine the method they used was something like integer overflow but i wonder how the mods managed to fix it

[amber forge]

Banning the user deletes their messages

[manic torrent]

I have to say I'm impressed, nice follow through

[viscid elm]

yeah

[amber forge]

You just need to find the user which you can find from the person talking about it.

[vital oak]

there’s crash blocking extensions for modded clients / using equicord or vencord

or writing your own for something like shelter

[manic torrent]

... what?

[viscid elm]

well i aint good at any of this coding stuff

[manic torrent]

how is an integer overflow going to cause that. That isn't how that works

[viscid elm]

yeah

[manic torrent]

Then don't say things you don't understand 😛

[viscid elm]

dam

[static perch]

is that a general discord thing or is it a bot that cleans everything up?

[viscid elm]

well what do you think he might have done

[vital oak]

Dayum

[vital oak]

are you allowed to code stuff you don’t understand

[amber forge]

Should be built in as a button when you chose to ban someone

[manic torrent]

fork bomb equivalent. discord is just a web page that runs javascript, so lots of options

[manic torrent]

sadly there is no code police

[viscid elm]

yeah thats what i was thinking but i kinda also thought wrong about it

[vital oak]

i’m not going to jail this time….

[north escarp]

Coding is only bad if you do something bad with it

[tepid jasper]

mfw they actually fucking did it:

[vital oak]

is stealing a companies api bad

[north escarp]

Some places will pay you for exploiting it safely and showing them how

If you don't sell that info elsewhere*

[static perch]

and there shouldn't be

[viscid elm]

white hat hackers are fun

[vital oak]

well it wasn’t me my friend wrote the backend since i don’t have a server
i just need to write the front end for the search and playing of it
Soundcloud if ur wondering

[grim belfry]

Devin does everyday

[vital oak]

i don’t like ads and i want tit o be on my site

[manic torrent]

oh, there absolutely should be

[grim belfry]

I wonder how many things Devin has broken so far

[vital oak]

i fucking hate devin

[north escarp]

Surprised there's isn't a coding division

Sounds like something that should be or Maybe there is

[manic torrent]

division of what

[static perch]

mmh ok and what would it do?

[north escarp]

Police of sorts just not sure what branch that lies under

[viscid elm]

cyber crime?

[amber forge]

|| A police beverage of sorts ||

[viscid elm]

their are a lot of people working within that

[manic torrent]

save me from people writing code that makes me want to self terminate

[north escarp]

Like I want to say fbi but also Maybe cia but definitely the dod

[delicate burrow]

Hi

[north escarp]

Idk

[manic torrent]

It's actually bigger in defense - it's an overall issue so there's large amounts of people working on it at a systemic level.

[static perch]

🤷‍♂️

[vital oak]

i do not think my code is bad
i just do not know what i’m doing at all

i’m kindof just fumbling around for a few hours until my javascript magically works

[manic torrent]

doesn't mean much

[north escarp]

One can imagine

[static perch]

ok i did worse I'll search for it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/934832009015078912/941582841093951488/unknown.png?ex=6761c41b&is=6760729b&hm=fa55bcd30bbb50d04f8928831c8ceec07f269de225dadcb7ff73ebad66e73b5e&

how about this?

[vital oak]

what the fuck

[static perch]

yeah the worst I've done (breadth search for a pacman AI)
and i wanted it to be fast :s

[vital oak]

i want to die fast

that is the ugliest code i’ve ever seen

[fossil frost]

it looks like decompiled code

[manic torrent]

I rewrote a whole thing .. three times, and then realised it wasn't fast because it was inherently complex and what I needed to do was cache it.

[manic torrent]

I am certain you could write that in a less fucked manner

"short and unreadable" is not the same as fast

That said, inner loop code can look terrible if it's fast, but premature optimisation is horrible.

[static perch]

i packed multiple variables into an integer array so that it would fit in the cou cache
reading writing and pretty much everything got a little less readable

[static perch]

but thats a sascrifice that i was willing to make in this group project

[thorn spruce]

Going to china

For 15 days

[manic torrent]

weren't you on a plane?

[viscid elm]

Nice

[thorn spruce]

Yes we’re waiting to take off

[manic torrent]

I hope your phone makes it crash

[thorn spruce]

Me too

[viscid elm]

Oof

[thorn spruce]

I don’t wanna be alive anymore

[viscid elm]

Same most days

[pure knoll]

This is uglier than uglier, it's brainfuck levels of bad

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/jashinchan-dropkick-evil-smile-smug-evilness-anime-gif-13119047

[thorn spruce]

Server down in Denver aerodata anyone know anything about it

Captain said they got a down server

[vital oak]

there’s beauty amidst brainfuck if you try

this? it’s barren and dry of anything

[pure knoll]

nI = eI - (sh>>=1)

Wtf are those variable names and space saving caveats?

Also 70 characters per line is what is considered readable

Unless it's a JavaScript library

[static perch]

it's java

[vital oak]

java is scary

[pure knoll]

Java is obsolete

[static perch]

the fact that it works across plattforms is just awesome

well at least most stuff. sometimes there are problems

[fossil frost]

what is it you are asking it to do when you are telling it to expand left, right, up and down?

[static perch]

it's kinda a breadth search for a pacman like enviroment

[bitter harbor]

I prefer it over bedrock but you do you /s

[pure knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-drop-gif-1982649100088909979

[vital oak]

bedrock linux?

[pure knoll]

@fossil frost don't be acting like theres 0 replacements that are miles easier to use, he clearly isn't writing that shit for a workplace

[bitter harbor]

I don’t even believe Minecraft bedrock is even supported on Linux

[vital oak]

pretty sure there’s a way
i meant the distribution of linux known as “bedrock linux” though

[fossil frost]

java is a tool, other languages are also a tool... you use whatever tool you are able to use that allows you to complete the task... java is far from obsolete... but yes... this clearly isnt for work, or any sort of school project, otherwisethey would be forced to rewrite it

[static perch]

I'm gratefull that i could just write an android app in java instead of trying to learn a new language + android specific stuff

[pure knoll]

I don't mind

[pure knoll]

Fair enough

[bitter harbor]

Either way way, it is not officially supported so your mileage may vary

[static perch]

android alone was a nightmare :s

[fossil frost]

android is easy... ios is the difficult platform to build anything for

[vital oak]

i hated trying to support linux on my website

cause the keyboards fire inputs or keydowns sometimes i think

[fossil frost]

"i want to this thing" "no.. you cant" "ok, i want to do this thing that seems like the thing i wanted to do originally" "noope... also illegal"

[vital oak]

so i had to add way more shit o my mobile keyboard stuff

[vital oak]

safaris scroll bar sucks so it’s really annoying

[crimson breach]

does anyone have a floatplane plex server that i could download off of?

[fossil frost]

cant say i have had to care about the front end.. be it native, or web... for quite some time... probably about 8 years now... other people who like doing that sort of thing... take care of that sort of thing... i take care of the stuff i like doing

[fossil frost]

are you asking in the LMG discord if someone has a way of you stealing from LMG

[crimson breach]

i have a floatplane sub

[static perch]

yeah IOS is probably worse but i was super annoyed by all the abstraction layers and concepts they invented for the sake of security. when i just wanted my app to read filed from my sdcard. that took forever

[crimson breach]

but i dont want to use those sketchy download script from github lol

[fossil frost]

yt-dlp is what you want, and what everyone uses

[fossil frost]

the things you didnt like about android... 10x that... thats ios

[vapid smelt]

Just click the download button on the videos

[fossil frost]

or theres that option too 🙂

[ember barn]

Does Sleep work on a skeleton?

[crimson breach]

oh wait theres a download button

[bitter harbor]

You don’t want to download something from a rando on GitHub but a rando from discord is fine?

[static perch]

I'm glad that my app only need to support exaclty 1 device and not all android versions + all resolutions

[pure knoll]

Yes

[pure knoll]

It's still better to use dynamic scaling

Jus in case

[vapid smelt]

On desktop yes

[fossil frost]

i have to support about 8 different versions of android, on about 40 different types of device, 5-6 different versions of iOS on 5-6 different types of device, while theoretically supporting any new device, or any other variant of any android device... across 150k users... so.. theres that 🙂

[crimson breach]

gotcha. maybe i can write something to click that button, then move it to my server

[fossil frost]

or accept that you over bought on storage space, and that you dont need to web-scrape to justify it to yourself

[fossil frost]

after you scraping it, you are never going to rewatch any of it... you are just going to have it there just to justify your bad decisions 🙂

[vital oak]

they downvoted it

[crimson breach]

.... yea ive got like 12TB free

[viscid elm]

i got 14

[pure knoll]

What stops people from just ripping the fuck out of every video?

[crimson breach]

okay but im getting a new server with another 26 bays

[vapid smelt]

Nothing

[viscid elm]

dam

[fossil frost]

they can, but if they reupload it anywhere, their account is gonna get terminated quickly

[crimson breach]

yea pro tip c240 m5's are available barebones on ebay for $200

theyre 2nd gen xeon

[pure knoll]

Don't need to one up the bro 😭

[fossil frost]

tbh, i should pitch my invisible watermarking stuff to LMG for floatplane... can literally embed the user id, date/time and any other metadata based on the request made to a video, on the fly... hidden... so that LMG can literally see who leaked what video, and when

its not even hard to add into the video delivery pipeline 😄

[pure knoll]

There would be ways to strip it surely? Unless it was some like random identification pixels baked into the video

[vapid smelt]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/156046813385 refurbished hdds are so cheap now

[crimson breach]

is it metadata?

[pure knoll]

The world doesn't need more DRM @fossil frost 😭😭😭

[fossil frost]

its baked into the encoded video data, you could theoretically strip it, if you knew how it was added, but its transparent to the decoder

[fossil frost]

its not drm, its a "water mark"

[crimson breach]

decode it, strip, encode

[fossil frost]

no

[static perch]

I'm trying to add jpegXL support to my app but the java libary that i added uses java.awt.image.BufferedImage for images
... java.awt doesn't exist on android and Bitmap doesn't exist on PC
I have no idea how if a libary that supports loading of images on both platforms would even look like. 🙄

[pure knoll]

Yeah no, I'm just saying in general

[pure knoll]

Like the binary header file?

[fossil frost]

it can survive a reencode 🙂

[fossil frost]

no, its baked into the video data its self

which is why it survives reencoding

[pure knoll]

Yeah no that's what I'm saying, random identification pixels

[crimson breach]

acc friend req? i kinda need that invis watermark for my work lol, it would be sick

[fossil frost]

almost, but no

[vapid smelt]

Like regular paper printers have

[fossil frost]

all scanners are made to recognise certain pixel maps too... preventing you from scanning certain documents

a printed out version of a classified document from anywhere that follows proper security rules, should cause a scanner to throw an error

[alpine gale]

Excuse me, but I will photocopy my polymer bank notes if I so darnwell choose! in Minecraft.

[fossil frost]

my ex-father-in-law, literally prints money for a living 😄

works for one of the few contractors in the uk that makes those silver security strips, and embeds them into the notes, and another part of the same company does much of the printing

[pure knoll]

Me scanning documents with do not photocopy 👀

[fossil frost]

you need 3 different facilities to print an actual note though.. .for security reasons

fun fact.. if you spend 20+ years working in a factory that prints money and prints out these metal strips and embeds them in paper/cloth and now plastic/polymer notes... your lungs get absolutely ruined... and your place of work has to pay for you to have some very expensive medication and potentially an even more expensive settlement

all because "the extractors are enough, you dont need PPE"

[vapid smelt]

Wonder how much micro plastic he has in him

[fossil frost]

more than the average instagram model has in macro-plastic

[ember barn]

is there a test for such things? I would personally like to know too.

[grim belfry]

I don't think they really care who did it

[bitter harbor]

Bold assumption there

[fossil frost]

lung biopsy... i wouldnt recommend it... it seemed like it absolutely sucked balls to have done

[ember barn]

ok. hmm. I was thinking like sending my dna to 23-and-me or someother place, and have my zomes looked at. 🙂

[grim belfry]

It would also probably break their bunny.net CDN

[vapid smelt]

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35367073/ we have found it in human blood

[shrewd plume]

imagine our bodies were computers that rendered frames for our eyes and we would get 0.01 fps cuz reality sucks and is rendereing all at once and you could replace like any organ and if u get sick just do a virus scan and delete it

[fossil frost]

assumption about the amount of plastic being that high? or the assumption that the majority of instagram "models" are fake plastic filled attention seekers that will look horrific in just 5 years time?

[ember barn]

awesome

[pure knoll]

Our parents had asbestos and our grandparents had lead..

[bitter harbor]

The assumption the first amount is larger than the other. Not that the first one is small by any means

[vapid smelt]

In the US lead gas was banned in 1996

[pure knoll]

Every generation seems to be getting fed shit

[pure knoll]

I'm pretty sure my grandparents were born a bit before 1996

[fossil frost]

1999 in the uk... when i was 14

[ember barn]

interesting that the word fed fits in there.

[vapid smelt]

Wtf it took you guys longer?!

[pure knoll]

💸

[bitter harbor]

I suddenly feel really old

[ember barn]

like 1969?

[pure knoll]

Na earlier

[ember barn]

switched the last two digits

[pure knoll]

Lmfao

I could tell 🧐

[fossil frost]

fun fact.. the guy who invented putting lead in petrol... is also the guy who invented using CFC's in refrigerators and other compression based things.. probably the 1 human whos actions have lead to more deaths than any other human ever

[pure knoll]

Or that guy

[fossil frost]

thomas midgley junior

[pure knoll]

I'm pretty sure people in the 1940s were going wild

[ember barn]

I've heard something similar about that guy before too. More than Ghengis Khan even.

[pure knoll]

What's the death toll?

[thorn spruce]

@manic torrent kus imuk

[pure knoll]

This dude made me get sunburned every year

[fossil frost]

about 1.3mil deaths per year of leaded fuel being used is the "moderate" estimate

[pure knoll]

Damn

[alpine gale]

Great podcast on this situation. https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/cautionary-tales/the-inventor-who-almost-ended-the-world

[thorn spruce]

I hope this plane never takes off

[fossil frost]

my favourite part is that he felt guilty about putting lead in fuel.. .and him trying to redeem himself was creating CFCs 😄

[pure knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-drop-gif-1982649100088909979

But lead is safe! He did a live demonstration breathing in lead vapor for a whole minute!

[fossil frost]

He also built a complex system of pullys to help him get in and out of bed after contracting polio. And accidentally hung himself on it

[bitter harbor]

And then took a vacation to Florida for health reasons. There is always a Florida connection to everything in modern history

[vapid smelt]

Maybe if he cared about safety he would have found a way to safely move himself

[harsh quartz]

Those holes are supposed to be centered

[graceful burrow]

That's severely not centered

[crimson breach]

nahh its fine thats super centered. couldnt be more accurate

[harsh quartz]

I mean, it depends on what you mean by center

[crimson breach]

center is relative

i find it fun even though i am fucking horrific at javascript

i don’t have a server so i haven’t got much of a chance with backend stuff yet

my friend has made me an api endpoint for soundcloud thougj

[cobalt crag]

Just looking for suggestions here.. I’m one of the lucky Canadians to receive a 9800x3d I was going to use it but might be changing my plans so if I do sell it I will be selling it for what a paid. But I want to make sure it goes to someone who is actually going to use it and not scalp it. Do you guys think this is fair of me to do to try to confirm that they are actually going to use it or should I just sell it and not give a shit where it goes

[bitter harbor]

I think that is perfectly fine.

[pallid falcon]

i suck at flirting..

So.. it is NOT a good idea to tell the person your flirting with about this segue to our sponsor

Right?

[alpine gale]

I guess it depends on the sponsor, really...

[pallid falcon]

ok

Ill not tell him about it..

[valid trellis]

Anyone remember how long it took nvidia to release the 4080 super after the 4080?

Trying to decide if I want to wait for a 5080 super or just make the jump to the 5090.

Still using a 3090 atm

Then there is the whole waiting for waterblocks to be available too.

[bitter harbor]

Wait till actual reviews are out before making a final decision. Anything beyond that is pure speculation

[valid trellis]

I already know the 5080 looks like bad value. It is too cutdown compared to the 5090. If previous pricing is anything close to normal... it just won't be worth it.

If the 5080 is sub $800 that would change things... but I suspected it will be 1200-1400

[pure knoll]

They will be out of stock for at least 5 months (5090) trust

I find that ironic

I feel older what the fuck

Also, realistically speaking, get a cheaper cooler

I always thought it was a meme about how tech doesn't get girls

until I bought a dbrand skin (warzone) for my phone

I prefer being single so I can have a proper lab compute at home and nobody complains

I would say that if they buy the new iphone every year tbh

[full fossil]

Nah this is my first iPhone lmao

[hollow mango]

lol what, usually girls want to have an iphone themselves

[full fossil]

That's the exact situation

They're the ones who are supposed to use the iPhone

[hollow mango]

Maybe you just talked to a few girls who happen to be different in that sense

But even that, I don't agree with that thinking. They don't know your financial position and while an iphone isn't the most efficient purchase, for many middle-class and above people, it's a sound purchase

[full fossil]

I am also extremely stingy with money

I actually spend more money on tech than clothes lamo

Are these aliens???

Guys what is this

I’m in an aeroplain recording that

No

Probably just some drone

[ruby basin]

mobits from loki is lightning mqueen

Don't listen to then fr then. You just got your first iphone to try something new for a change yk?

[winged spire]

Yes aliens obey the FAA’s rules on anti collision lighting during nighttime operations

How kind of them

[thorn spruce]

What was that I saw like 5 aliens

[prime solstice]

You’re missing the circular ones that I see on tv all the time

[bitter harbor]

Those are from a Florida map that put duck tape on a plate and used it as a frisbee

They often mount firecrackers to them to make them go far so that is probably what you saw

Hello everyone! I have a random question. I am newish to PC's so please bear with me. I bought a used PC and want to completely wipe the thing to start fresh. What is the best way to do this?

[pallid falcon]

Depends

Define wipe? Like reinstall the os or like is it dusty

[tacit crater]

I mainly just want to make sure i get rid of anything left over and make sure no malware is on it

[pallid falcon]

So you would want to reinstall the os

Is it windows

[pallid falcon]

Example screenshots

[thorn spruce]

What’s app

Is that

[pallid falcon]

What

[bitter harbor]

It is an app, yes

[thorn spruce]

What app

[winged spire]

Computer

[desert dagger]

Windows

[tacit crater]

It is windows. I already have a USB to use as a boot drive i believe. The PC also came with hard drives so is just formatting those good enough?

[modern pier]

can i please rant about modern pc motherboards and i/o

it's starting to piss me off more than it should

[desert dagger]

Nah

[modern pier]

you have to spend like 3 million dollars to get a board with good cooling and good io

[pallid falcon]

[sinful dome]

Should I get a rtx 4070 ti super oc for 650 (used)?

[viscid elm]

rx 7900 XTX price used?

[hazy parrot]

I'd pay $750 for one

[viscid elm]

some manage to do it for 600

[hazy parrot]

I got a new 7900xt for 640

[hearty rain]

Uh guys, so…
I went to a goodwill and purchased a scale, like the kind you weigh your self on, it has one oddity to it.

[viscid elm]

how did you do it new?

[hazy parrot]

haggling local doesnt count when you talk about preowned market.

[hearty rain]

The scale has a cellular connection

[hazy parrot]

last spring newegg had a sale, and price matched it at best buy

[viscid elm]

very cool

[hearty rain]

Why does a scale need a Cellular connection… why… it’s a scale. Not a phone lol.

[viscid elm]

i dono you bought it

[hearty rain]

I got it to hack it really lol.

Oddly the plan starts on first use of the sim and it’s a free year plan.

[idle nymph]

i think that was an floridian mothership

[hearty rain]

I guess you’d get the thing for free from your doctor as a part of a program you’re in.
Once the program is over the doc can send a command ro turn it into a regular wifi/BT smart scale with an app.

[patent violet]

Oh boy you got one of these, so these are for your doctor (And sometimes insurance company) to monitor your weight remotely

Its used in like those diet plans where you get someone to consult or coach

[hearty rain]

What’s odd is it was only opened to check if it was there it never was opened past thst.

So it’s brand new.

[patent violet]

what brand is it

[hearty rain]

And works well.

Uh withings.

[patent violet]

is there a model # on it

[hearty rain]

It’s the Body Pro..

Also I boosted again…

But yeah this is it. It’s basic.

[patent violet]

like on the back

[hearty rain]

It’s the “body pro” goes for 50 US I think if you don’t get it free. And no it has no model numbers.

Just the words “body pro” on the main box as the model it self.

[patent violet]

Uh oh

So apparently at some point itll lose cellular connectivity

[hearty rain]

It does this after maybe 4 minutes.

[patent violet]

Then it becomes a door stop

[hearty rain]

Well no and yes.

Once you don’t “need it” anymore your doc can issue a command to make it a non cell one

And it will just work on wifi or BT

[patent violet]

yeah

[hearty rain]

What I find odd is a feature of the scale is that it shows you the weather.

[patent violet]

lol

[hearty rain]

Cause yes, you want your weather on a scale.

[patent violet]

ALEXA

"how fat am it"

[hearty rain]

It claims to do it before very weigh in as well

So you can’t skip seeing weather until it weighs you.

[alpine gale]

Hold the phone. I'll be right over. That looks delicious.

[hearty rain]

Just imagine doom on the scale.

My main reason for buying ir, to make it run doom.

It..

[patent violet]

tear it down

lets find out what MCU it is

[hearty rain]

On that… it seems it’s kind of glued to the glass top somehow

[hearty rain]

Does it have a physical sim slot?

[hearty rain]

If so I could just put my phones sim in it, lol.
It has no way to remove the sim

[patent violet]

yes

[hearty rain]

Ah fun. Time to open it.

Or try…

[patent violet]

pull the top off

it prys off

[hearty rain]

Really, I saw somewhere it was glued down..

[hearty rain]

lol the board reminds me of the old pop stations and fake consoles of the day lol.

Small board huge product but hey it’s needed to be this big it’s a scale.

[patent violet]

the important pads

[hearty rain]

Hold on I may have more info forgot about the menu if you hold power while turning it on for awhile.

Here’s the “info screen”

[patent violet]

Mac Address, Mfg Date, Firmware Revision

[hearty rain]

Either made in 22 or 2005 lol.

I’ll guess 22..

[mortal kraken]

Nice, IoT weighing scales, beautiful

Bonus if it could do e911, nobody would assume and it's the best way

[hearty rain]

I know uh sexy isn’t it lol.
I remember someone saying a scale looked sexy once.. boy did I quit Reddit for a day lol.

[hearty rain]

I wanna ha or doom onto it

[patent violet]

May, 2022

[hearty rain]

Haxor doom onto it.

[patent violet]

LOL

[hearty rain]

Would be cool, your weight changes the direction and all that. Lean back to do back..

Jump to shoot lol. And uh

Walk in place to walk forward

[patent violet]

buys a flipper knockoff

[hearty rain]

That would be a fun workout lol.

[patent violet]

pukes in maximum tx

yeaaaa buddy

[hearty rain]

lol.

[patent violet]

what it should look like

[hearty rain]

I have somewhere a cursed image of an iPad running windows 7

Now yes it was in UTM but it was funny to see.

[mortal kraken]

Back in my day we'd lie about running w7 on 512MB raspberry pi's

I was convinced it was possible but was a secret nobody let others know

[patent violet]

lol

[hearty rain]

lol. Logical.

[patent violet]

why does this suck so bad omfg

[mortal kraken]

Every other thing on aliexpress

[hearty rain]

This screen is useless lol, it doesn’t let me use the app.

[patent violet]

Because its tied to someone else

[mortal kraken]

You can't reset it ?

[hearty rain]

Uh from what I’ve seen that shouldn’t matter here

[patent violet]

I mean its actually not supposed to be bad. Its the Lilygo T-Embed-CC1101

[hearty rain]

Once it’s been told to be a wifi model it no longer knows the original owners info.
On another note.
Only EU residents can get their past medical history due to some US law not letting companies get data from users outside the US and the user data is hosted in the EU.

Well past medical history if they terminated their sim plan.

[slender mauve]

is 750 power suply good for a ryzen 5 7600x and a rtx 4070 super with 64 ddr4 ram?

[hearty rain]

Ok update: it does not pry open and has broken a box cutter blade.

[hearty rain]

Your name reminds me of the guy who made the LTT intro music lol.
I’d say uh based on what I know which is nothing, I can’t help. So sorry there lol.
I’m more of a software guy who dabbles in hardware.

[patent violet]

oof

[hearty rain]

I may see if I can get a second one used like I did this one and see what sim it uses.

I want to know the carrier as it feels like maybe ATT firstnet? As it is medical?

Maybe regular ATT..

[patent violet]

thats for First Responders. Prob either Verizon or AT&T (Most likely AT&T)

I was looking at the bands

It suggests AT&T

[hearty rain]

I mean not just them. Schools can use it, it seems. But that’s rare.

[patent violet]

Schools Resource Officers

[hearty rain]

I’m in Maine and we get our network from USM, as the isp sites say “University Of Maine system” this Includes most libraries now.

[patent violet]

oh that Edu Net

[hearty rain]

I read somewhere schools in general can as ATT sees them as important.

I get it but also it is called FirstNet why wouldn’t it be locked down, could be a rumored thing lol.

Oh hey noticed a new thing on the scale.

[patent violet]

On the cellphones?

[hearty rain]

On a cold boot or reset boot.
It says
Hello..

[hearty rain]

If I go to any school or library in Maine and go to a site like what is my isp it comes up as “University Of Maine System” 98 percent of the time.

The other 2 percent is either fairpoint or spectrum.

This is on the guest networks they always have.

[patent violet]

OH Those are massive relay systems they pay for

DAS

Distributed Antenna System

[white pawn]

till the robber finds you ju,ping up and down in the bathroom "was that 8 or 9 jumps?" 😛

[hearty rain]

It seems Umaine is more of tech then anything else as they have the First and Second largest 3D printers in the world.

[patent violet]

You see this quite often with large campuses

[hearty rain]

They seem to host a lot of their own stuff as well.

[patent violet]

and facilities

[hearty rain]

Ya know the first thing Umaine printed was a boat because Maine.

[hearty rain]

I don’t even think we use wireless as Maine is so old Skool

Well we have wifi but I never see wireless antennas on top of schools… well their is one but that’s a huge controversy where Deering High in Portland decided to put a cell tower on top of the school, some teachers now think they got their cancer from the cell tower..

[patent violet]

actually whats interesting about this is that the "ceullar" backhaul may not actually be over antenna

it could be over coax

[hearty rain]

That’s fun.

[patent violet]

yeah, if you think about it, you can turn your coax isp modem into a wireless one

[hearty rain]

Sounds dumb but funny ATT he same time

[mortal kraken]

Thats common here in the more poorer areas, they'll just plop a tower on top of old buildings because appropriate

Everyone hates it, but I'd love the excellent SNR

[hearty rain]

At the…

[hearty rain]

What’s funny is Portland isn’t that poor and neither is the Deering area lol.

[mortal kraken]

Who cares how bad it looks, better 5G >

[hearty rain]

So the cell tower on top was just because. According to my mum. lol.

[hearty rain]

Theirs one like 4 feet from the school already

It’s legit past a cemetery but still close

[mortal kraken]

The school itself might have integrated repeaters too, mine has em actually right now

[hearty rain]

Back in my HS days we had Cisco APs and they forgot to disable logging in to one of them

Boy was that a fun day.

I just saw the firmware and all that, never messed with stuff.

[mortal kraken]

That cup is an internal repeater, we have 5G in the city but this 'site' hasn't been upgraded with 5G radio, only does 4G and lower I assume

[mortal kraken]

Tbh i hardly have tried to spoof around this network at all, probably forgot and legit don't care much anymore 😛

[hearty rain]

So uh. In Portland we have an ice rink…

It has a guest network on a stock Netgear router..

[restive lion]

someone should tell my old highschool about these

trying to get any work done in there as an adult is misery

[hearty rain]

So to get the point across I enable the real guest network and named it
“FIX FHE ICE RINK WIFI” lol.

Within a week, it was fixed

[restive lion]

literal dead zone in the main zone i work in lmao

[hearty rain]

Portland high but with their AC units.

My mums room is either too hot or too cold.

[mortal kraken]

Amazing, here it'd remain the same after decade too

[hearty rain]

I will say Portland High is on the National Registry of Historic buildings as it’s over 200 years old..

So not much can be touched..

[mortal kraken]

Yeah usually the institute in their own can't do much, this also has to be done by the carrier (mainly)

They should show interest, then request whatever building to allow them and maybe then they can proceed with it

[restive lion]

whatever it takes mate i just need to be able to take calls when im working

[grim belfry]

WiFi calling

[restive lion]

yeah dont i wish

too bad they blocked that on the internet that im technically not supposed to be on

[hearty rain]

@patent violet imagine using a cellular scale to call your family lol.

is kingston (brand) a good (sata) ssd? and no, my motherboard does not have m.2 or nvme

[fossil frost]

they are fine yeah

[mystic tundra]

depends on the model

pick one that has dram ideally

[fossil frost]

tbh, most SSDs, even the cheapo nasty ones, are still better than HDDs... even dramless ones are fine these days (unless you are doing heavy heavy bi-directional data transfers)

[manic torrent]

If your motherboard does not have m.2 you should be aiming to replace the whole thing
