I must get off for a while but I'll jump back on later. I still have a great many question

[wide dew]

No worries man, feel free to hit us up if you need more help

[wide dew]

Yeah, extending pins makes the cable a bit safer

[ashen estuary]

the what?

[robust bison]

I have no idea if the ltt staff will see this. But maybe a good follow up video.

i miss when ltt did office vlogs, everytime i see a office tour i recognise less and less - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjWHNkiVGoY&ab_channel=Prusa3D

[jaunty compass]

Oh hey he mentions the iplay 50 mini pro that thing is sweet

I have that tablet and the screen is great for the price, and the g99 is pretty sweet

[wide dew]

It's a pretty good video, and I hope that Linus addresses it, or atleast explains why he didn't make Honey's behavior more public

[slim owl]

its a 3 parter, they should message the guy in the comments or privatley than make a video when all parts are out

[wide dew]

That's true, its better to wait for all the information to be presented before making a public statement

[obsidian oracle]

my man became the 10th person posting that

[rigid inlet]

Don't worry there'll be a 11th

[obsidian oracle]

im sure there will

[robust bison]

I didn't see it sorry

[vapid zephyr]

They don't need to?
LTT has already did notes about Honey in the forums like they did with every sponsor

[jovial mason]

have we had any responce yet?

[vapid zephyr]

LTT objectively has no reason to make a major response, so

[hollow scroll]

was years ago when they stopped

[knotty lodge]

You know what bugs me?

[hollow scroll]

bugs

[knotty lodge]

People who talk at you instead of with you

Cut you off all the time

No no, I mean in person

[knotty lodge]

Ok 🤔

[fossil frost]

ah... those are people who we commonly refer to by a word that begins with C, that we cant say in chat

[knotty lodge]

🤣

Hold up "unironically bri'sh"

🤣

[wide dew]

With the one letter that is not pronounced to cap it off

[knotty lodge]

No no no, that message was not british enough

[wide dew]

Anyone got a cigi init?

Oi fam, got spare dust for a blem

[knotty lodge]

What you mean is. With the one letter cuz, that aint pronaounced ya gett me?

[spiral zodiac]

You guys watching this video regarding honey?

[rigid inlet]

No, it's staying under my pillow

[wide dew]

Hoping for quid from the tooth fairy

[fossil frost]

the video that didnt need to mention LTT, because the message was valid on its own, but mentioned LTT anyway to get people to watch it?

[wide dew]

We don't really say cuz or you get me anymore

We say blud and init

The bri'ish way

[fossil frost]

anyone who says "cuz" and "blud" or "init"... are usually bellends

[wide dew]

I agree with the first two, init is just common with everyone

[fossil frost]

depends how its said... and in what accent

[wide dew]

No, init is just a common thing to say, better than saying isn't it all the time lmao

[fossil frost]

i know... i live near manchester... but some people use it as a full stop... and thats usually dependant on the accent/area... and those people are bellends

[wide dew]

Ah, I live near to London, so it's more of just common phrase

[fossil frost]

or.. more bellends

[rigid inlet]

Living in surrey

[wide dew]

It's a new town near London, everyone is a bellend

Including me

[summer folio]

init = is it not?

[rigid inlet]

Even though a 5 minute drive will already take me into greater London

[fossil frost]

i find it funny that, literally everyone outside of the UK, except maybe the Australians, have no idea what im saying when i keep saying "bellend" 😄

[wide dew]

The ausies are hilarious, almost as good as comedians as us, defiantly on par with the paddies

[lime summit]

Get yourself someone who looks at you the way...

[crystal pike]

guys

Social advice please

[daring thistle]

I mean it is kinda whack that LTT knew about the problem and the damage it was doing to all creators in the ecosystem and did nothing

[crystal pike]

I am now in uni, but since i live in a country where boys and girls were separated throughout school, now in college where both boys and girls are present is making me feel incredibly awkward and anxious

[fossil frost]

what are LTT supposed to do against someone like paypal?

[reef cloak]

Well not only that, but they partnered up with Karma that does the exact same thing

[daring thistle]

Tell everyone to uninstall honey and never use it again

[crude vortex]

hook up w someone

[daring thistle]

Ez solution

Make this exact video but 3 years earlier

[crystal pike]

bro i feel anxious just because there are girls
Im too scared of doing something thats uncomfortable to them, or something that would make me a joke
I try to be myself but its too hard

[fossil frost]

its not LTT's job to torpedo anyone else, they can report their own findings, they can report opinions of their own... but directly telling people to remove honey because of [reasons] opens LTT up to liability, liability to get sued by a company that makes more money on any given day, than LTT will ever make

[daring thistle]

But they didnt

[fossil frost]

girls... are people too... and, nobody is forcing you to interact with anyone, let alone anyone who makes you uncomfortable

[daring thistle]

They didn't report their findings

[fossil frost]

how do you know LTT found anything, how do you know LTT have anything to report?

[daring thistle]

Did you watch the video?

Apparently not. So stop arguing when you are not caught up

[fossil frost]

i saw a lot of hearsay, and that some forum posts were made, nothing that would protect LTT in court

[crystal pike]

People too but when youve never interacted with one throughout your life how can you not feel anxious? Especially when your own family makes it seem as if its bad

[fossil frost]

any new thing will make people in general, anxious... best thing you can do is just do your best to just ignore it for now until you get used to it

[soft pilot]

I have a problem with a annoying power supply noise

[hollow scroll]

why clown my link lol im just saying im not getting into the argument

[last blaze]

I always thought this was to good to be true ever since Mr beast was getting sponsored by them

[hollow scroll]

ive always found it never gives me codes, and the last 4 ebay buys are still pending after months and months for honey gold

so deleted my account

[last blaze]

Yeah I had the extension activated and it never sent me codes or saved me money 🤣

[rigid inlet]

Yeah same, kinda surprised how a platform that finds codes (doesn't even do that well) can afford to piss away millions

[fossil frost]

honey when they first started out, when it was first set up, and an independent... they were SORT OF... ok... they then got bought by paypal, and became unbearable to do anything with.. ive made several large purchases, which should have lead to large "honey points" being added, they never got added and they always say "you did something wrong when you made the purchase"... screwing me out of the rewards i would have got (individual purchases on their own would have been enough to get amazon gift cards from honey)...

[fossil frost]

#welcome , you already confirmed that you have read it to be allowed to get into the channels at all

[graceful burrow]

I don't think they actually read it :(

[fossil frost]

we need a way to detect if people have actually read it, and if they confirm they have read it, and have not, their anus explodes

[soft pilot]

aaaa

[alpine gale]

Exactly. Same as how everyone reads the EULA / ToS before using any program / website / service. 👍 (if people don't, enjoy your "binding arbitration" clauses.)

[graceful burrow]

I have read a few Eulas/tos/privacy policies

[obsidian oracle]

nice gif

[graceful burrow]

They aren't that bad to read tbh

[obsidian oracle]

another youtube yapper on the line(not talking bout you lol)

[graceful burrow]

And in comparison, #welcome might as well be pre-school reading

[fossil frost]

friend of mine is a lawyer, she reads (almost) all of them, and then C+P's it into a word document, and emails the company with all the very-illegal clauses, and all the unenforceable clauses.. saying that she will file a suit against them if they dont get changed within 30 days 😄

turns out a lot of companies write one EULA/ToS for their home area, and assume their local laws apply everywhere across the entire planet... and her emails have lead to a lot of places changing their ToS removing the stupid clauses, or, lead to the ToS being localised for the areas they do business

[silver sun]

[alpine gale]

Good on them. Companies usually say "blah blah this agreement is governed by the laws of STATE / COUNTRY" - sure, your side of the agreement can be governed by whatever you want, however, if any portion of the agreement impacting me, the user, violates my local laws, my local laws apply above yours. Don't ask how I know - let's just say a certain US cell provider has both Privacy Act and CASL violations on their doorstep right now. If people can sign up for XYZ using an email address, always verify ownership of the email address.

[full fossil]

maybe you just need to find something you have in common, try asking about their thoughts on reddit and 4chan

when your meeting someone new you should also always offer them your discord username

[graceful burrow]

How is 4chan not a banned word lmao

[fossil frost]

well, you know how tech people do tech stuff, for fun, because they are bored... lawyer people do lawyer stuff because they are bored too 🙂

[alpine gale]

You see, if it were banned, we couldn't ask users to insert their Mountain Dew Verification can.

[obsidian oracle]

4chan4chan4chan4chan, why would it be banned

[graceful burrow]

It was mostly a legit question, it would definitely be a good thing to have it banned

[obsidian oracle]

bette keep it unbanned so we can ban users of it once they say

[modest copper]

[summer folio]

Surely everyone uses cashback websites already for all their purchases.

Why would you give away your own 2-10% ref link money to someone else.
("affiliate-link")

[obsidian oracle]

the platform havent done the most legal things lest say

[alpine gale]

I will pass this feedback along.

[fossil frost]

hmmn... google seems to have stopped accepting reviews on the honey extension in the chrome web store 😄

[obsidian oracle]

even google is sick of people

[summer folio]

Think I have gotten 400-500$ in cashback last couple of years in return, by using my own ref-link("affiliate-link"), instead of letting Honey or random youtuber/google (through sponsor link) get my money.

[obsidian oracle]

imagine spending over 30$ on the internet 😂

[summer folio]

if you buy products in physical electronic stores, your own ref-link money goes into the sales person pockets in the store.

[obsidian oracle]

who says i buy anything

i produce my own gpu and cpu

[summer folio]

They usually have a minimum payment & then they get ++money based on how much sales they do & how bad they are for the customer

[obsidian oracle]

2.5m nm gpu gang

[neon mesa]

That's called milimeters, must be an imperial unit peasant

[obsidian oracle]

2.5 million nanometers sound funnier

[summer folio]

Big store chains at least

[summer folio]

So 25 Ångström

[obsidian oracle]

[alpine gale]

Not for me - I refuse to set foot in any commission based store. I've worked in one - there's so much corruption (similar to the whole Honey affiliate link debacle) behind the scenes that management did nothing about.

I quit that electronics retailer and shifted to another one that didn't have a commission based structure.

[full fossil]

what is a comission? what do you mean by that

[alpine gale]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_(remuneration)

[full fossil]

isn't everything you pay for a commission then? wdym

[fossil frost]

place my father in law just bought his new car from, does commission based sales, but thats unavoidable in car sales... but... the sales person gets the same commission, no matter what car they sell you... you buy a £5,000 car, or a £50,000 car, sales person gets the same commission

[fossil frost]

no, commission means something different, if you read, you will see that

[fossil schooner]

[cerulean hull]

how many scams are we at that LTT has promoted now?

[fossil frost]

all the VPNs

[manic torrent]

What's interesting about that is not LTT, but .. the internet, influencers, and advertising.

[fossil frost]

i have already said, this isnt an LTT issue, LTT was only mentioned in the video to grab people's attention, and its worked

[cerulean hull]

this is a youtuber issue and that they all lie and only care about the money.

[obsidian oracle]

almost as if people shouldnt use shit blindly because they heard other people talk about it/advertise it

[manic torrent]

That's the dumbest take ever.

[fossil frost]

you assume malice, rather than incompetence..

[manic torrent]

That's not helpful though, and not how people work

[obsidian oracle]

should be how they work, it not being isnt my problem

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1093370691895697510.png?size=160&name=neco+arc+corndog

[bitter harbor]

The that makes it worse is that LTT actually said that they were ditching them and why which absolutely no one else said. In a sense, LTT is being punished for being transparent

[cerulean hull]

LTT ditched them quietly and never told people to remove the extension. they knew it was a scam and warned no one

[fossil frost]

they terminated a business partnership, in a business way?

[alpine gale]

No? This was publicly announced on the forums. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1415146-weekly-sponsorship-suggestioncomplaint-thread-feb-28-2022/#comment-15285519

[obsidian oracle]

i love message wipes

you think there will be an ltt vid about the intel cpu shenanigans

[bitter harbor]

Don’t count on it

[graceful burrow]

What Intel cpu shenans

[obsidian oracle]

intel cpus existing, unbelieveable shit

we must get rid of them all

[zenith elbow]

ive seen some streamers recently saying the bios update did nothing to fix the issues they were having, just throttled the cpu

[obsidian oracle]

it will prevent future problems, the damaged ones will stay same

[bitter harbor]

Because streamers are the Einsteins of this day and age

[obsidian oracle]

as its physical, dont expect fix

[graceful burrow]

What is bro even talking about

[zenith elbow]

google bud

[graceful burrow]

Tell me what the actual issue is so I can Google more effectively

If I put in "Intel cpu problems" I'm gonna be getting a lot of unrelated bullshit

[zenith elbow]

dude needs his hand held to google

[graceful burrow]

Even if I toss arrow lake in there it's gonna be a ton of unrelated bullshit lmao

[bitter harbor]

Normally the person making the claim is supposed to show supporting evidence

[graceful burrow]

Dunno why you gotta be an asshole about it I'm just tryna learn about it so I can participate in a convo

[zenith elbow]

except its all over the place with how shit they are

[fossil frost]

you are the one who came in crying about "intel problems" but didnt specify what you were on about... if you are gonna bitch about something, at least know what you are bitching about

[graceful burrow]

Then it should be easy to give a source

[zenith elbow]

just wow

Excellent! Then you should be able to easily throw us a link to some source material!

Can you tell us what the Intel issue is

[obsidian oracle]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/877640844759433218.png?size=160&name=bait

[fossil frost]

at least we have actual thoughts, instead of vomiting up bullshit 🙂

[graceful burrow]

I just wanna know what bro was even talking about

[fossil frost]

they don't know what they were talking about, because they haven't been told what to think by someone else yet

[bitter harbor]

I think we found the fated AMD shill that Userbenchmark was warning us about

[modest copper]

Blocking them ignores their messages c:

[cerulean hull]

lol

[amber forge]

Ik that on release the arrow lake cpus were missing out on some performance and the only reason ik that is cause of articles about how fixes are now availiable

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I knew that but that definitely isnt whatever that dude was talkin about

[fossil frost]

we want them to tell us what they were on about... because they are just blindly spouting bullshit they dont understand, and then getting up their own arse when they are called out about it

[graceful burrow]

Guess we'll never know what he was spoutin

I genuinely just wanted to know, I wasn't even trying to call him out kek

[amber forge]

I think the best way to describe what he was doing is "bud was just yapping"

[graceful burrow]

True

[amber forge]

anyways back to obsessing on AM4 vs AM5

cpubenchmark is a trustworthy benchmark site right?

[graceful burrow]

No

[obsidian oracle]

dont obsess on anything, go am4 and get 5800x3d for the best deal

[fossil frost]

this is terrible advice since you have no idea what it is they are looking to use their system for

[obsidian oracle]

5800x3d is the best cpu, since when is recommending best is bad

he didnt even specify b of budget

[amber forge]

idk if we have any more of those here in Canada

[obsidian oracle]

im sure yall do lol

[amber forge]

Okay Newegg does and its 299

[graceful burrow]

I had to look to see how bad the advice is and Holy shit LMAO

[fossil frost]

it WAS the best, specifically just for gaming, for a short period.. yes... but... there are better cpus in general and there are better cpus for gaming

[obsidian oracle]

go back to your cave anyway

[graceful burrow]

Bite me, loser

[obsidian oracle]

you need bigger things to think about than going for above 5800x3d on gaming

[pallid falcon]

Who wants a cheese burger :3

[obsidian oracle]

me, it will be costly to ship to europe tho

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-bite-mad-gif-5319793

[graceful burrow]

What will you be doing on your pc

[amber forge]

1080p and in the future 1440p gaming and some 3d modeling work

I think the 5800x3d is above what I am willing to spend for a cpu tho

[obsidian oracle]

almost as if 5800x3d is fitting

[amber forge]

Cause I am trying to get an under 1k CAD build

[obsidian oracle]

5700x3d ezpz

[graceful burrow]

I'd nab a 7600, matches roughly a 5700x3d (the better buy between a 58x3d and 57x3d), and sets you up for much better upgrades in the future

Building am4 nowadays is kind of a bad idea, you're locking yourself onto a dead platform, only to have to build a whole new computer down the line again

[obsidian oracle]

bro is busy reacting with clown emoji, cant type

[graceful burrow]

Get am5 today, you can just drop in a new cpu

[obsidian oracle]

bro assumes hes gonna make a 5090 build in the future while he has $1000 budget rn

talk about assuming without knowing

[fossil frost]

So to my understanding AM4 is the cheaper platform and while there are still upgrades your options are limited since it is the old one and no more chips will be coming out. AM5 is more expensive and has better and more expensive motherboards but will continue to have well priced options due to the fact that it is the modern socket type

Is any of my basic understanding so far wrong?

[fossil frost]

AM4 is the previous gen platform. AM5 is the current gen platform... you either buy into a dead platform, or a living platform

[civic fox]

how is AM4 dead? i assume a lot of people still use it.

[fossil frost]

AMD are no longer building anything for it...

its dead/aliveness is down to the manufacturer making new CPUs or chipsets for it... they dont

[civic fox]

i mean sure, but it's still a supported platform.

most people still use it

[obsidian oracle]

its dead!!! stop saying its not!!! 🥺

we need more people to buy our shitty am5 mobos, stop advetising am4!!

[civic fox]

i'm gonna say its not because i feel like it

[fossil frost]

people still use gen3 intel-core platforms... is that considered to be alive?

[obsidian oracle]

good, keep it

[full fossil]

Anyone know if u can get rid of snap divsie ban

[fossil frost]

no.. its not... AM4 isnt manufactured anymore, AMD doesnt produce AGESA for it anymore... its dead

[civic fox]

isn't gen3 older than AM4 though?

[obsidian oracle]

theyre the kind that dont want to overpay for shit they wont use, same people are the ones that will buy an am4 because they dont want to pay twice the money for a shitty am5 mobo just to use same power cpu 😂

[vapid smelt]

work at the company and remove it yourself

I’m a baby

[civic fox]

i mean i'm on 13th and 14th gen platform as of now but plan to go AMD eventually when i can afford to buy new mobo cpu etc

[obsidian oracle]

is that an answer to a question that didnt exist?

[fossil frost]

i couldnt give a shit what people use... they use what they want, but suggesting that AM4 isnt dead, because people still use it... is stupid... because AMD's support for it, is gone, they dont make it.. the dont make chips for it, they dont make firmware for it...

[obsidian oracle]

u might afford it if u sell the cpu and mobo u use rn

my time for clown reacting

you had your fair bit of it

i'm not sure how much an i3 would be worth honestly

[obsidian oracle]

web browsing and watching yt, its fine

as long as its not 4k lol

[fossil frost]

explain why im wrong, explain why a company no longer supporting a platform, means that it is actually alive and fully supported by that company

[obsidian oracle]

couldnt be arsed

now this is how you dont be arsed, not being arsed while saying not arsed

[civic fox]

i mean i game on it and everything so it runs fine for that i don't think it's worth much if i sell it

[obsidian oracle]

oh u mean i3 lol

[civic fox]

yes XD

[obsidian oracle]

yea thats that

i didnt know u had i3 on ur pc

[civic fox]

i3-13100F

[obsidian oracle]

atleast the other numbers are high

shouldnt be too bad

[civic fox]

not a terrible CPU by all means though

[obsidian oracle]

maybe like 5$ on a sunny day

[obsidian oracle]

13100 sounds nice yeah, how many cores tho

[civic fox]

4

[obsidian oracle]

[civic fox]

paired with a GTX aorus 1080ti

[obsidian oracle]

i5 2400 on steroids(weak steroids)

[shut birch]

13th gen 4 core? what

or im dumb

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[civic fox]

yea its a 13th gen

[obsidian oracle]

it sounds so stupid to see i3 on 13th gen

[full fossil]

hey guysss. i have a QHD LG gaming monitor and i put the black level setting on low instead of high and the entire screen looks SOOOO black which is good, colors also pop out more especially if i adjust the gamma mode.

just wondering tho, is this good or bad? cos idk if it’s good or bad for my screen and its set automatically to black level high so yeah idk. lmk yall !!!

[obsidian oracle]

like "3" is old af number and 13th gen is new af

[shut birch]

how the world its 4 corr

[civic fox]

idk lol

it runs games just fine but 4 cores is not enough in some instances

[fossil frost]

you are better to ignore everything reira is saying, they have absolutely no idea what they are saying and are just a troll who thinks they are funny, but they really arent, and are just spewing out shitty take after shitty take...

[obsidian oracle]

i mean even i5 2400 is fine on gta 5 768p

so yeah, 13th gen will be fine for a lot of people

[obsidian oracle]

wrong reply tho 😂

the text u replied to was in reply to not me

[fossil frost]

i wasnt speaking to you, i was speaking about you

[obsidian oracle]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/920478724221194280.png?size=160&name=neco+arc+drip

[civic fox]

fair enough i mean my i3-13100F and 1080ti can easily push over 100+fps on ultra settings on most games i play so

[obsidian oracle]

maybe 0 by now

[civic fox]

minus cyberpunk thats about it

[fossil frost]

if what you have is good enough for you, then dont let elitist turd-brained arseholes tell you otherwise 🙂

[civic fox]

thats a fair point. the only thing i plan on getting is a newer gpu on christmas but thats about it until mid next year when i can get a new cpu upgrade so until then i am good :D

[obsidian oracle]

get a 4070 ti frfr

[civic fox]

no i'm not made of money

[obsidian oracle]

4060 ti is it then

[civic fox]

no lol probably gonna go AMD i run linux

[obsidian oracle]

<@&750150305383186585> they have been an obtuse troll and belittling people all night. Maybe worth having a word?

use the ending bit only

vc4yL3YTwWk

some people used youtu.be or whatever, the short url copy

#public-chat message
#tech-chat-2 message like these 2 fellas

[vapid smelt]

what weirdos

[bitter harbor]

The same video has 6 in total. 2 in off topic that I found

[obsidian oracle]

lmao thats what i do always, its easier and quicker

just 1 right click and 1 left click

unlike other way, going off the fullscreen and going to url area and double clicking left and right click and ctrl+c

can be longer than that as well

[shut birch]

yup

thats why #public-chat message way is better

[placid plume]

Just wanted to pop in here to say I can't wait for the class action coming at PayPal after this entire Honey situation 😂

[obsidian oracle]

im not sure about

[civic fox]

damn i use paypal XD

[obsidian oracle]

i remember trying once, couldnt 😔

[civic fox]

its my main bank

[obsidian oracle]

nice

[placid plume]

well honey is owned by paypal so a lawsuit will definitely impact them

[obsidian oracle]

you mean the other way?

[placid plume]

on the other hand they're too big to fail so I doubt itll matter

[placid plume]

yeah sorry lol

[obsidian oracle]

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

[placid plume]

paypal is too big though, I don't really think it'll make much of a difference

[obsidian oracle]

they can try to evade problems by saying "we didnt touch to the company, just bought"

[obsidian oracle]

yeah, only how people see it and thats it

[placid plume]

yeah lol

[placid plume]

I mean on the other hand at least they'll learn their lesson

PayPal is fucking toxic, as much as I wish they'd fail unfortunately I don't think a lawsuit would be enough

But yeah I guess time will tell

[obsidian oracle]

a shitty meme made by me in under 10 seconds

[civic fox]

vanguard is terrible (thats if it means the AC)

[obsidian oracle]

whats ac

[civic fox]

anti cheat

[obsidian oracle]

ah yes i meant that one

[civic fox]

vangaurd is one of the worst ones

[placid plume]

wow, paypal's largest investors are also some of the worst ones?

that's a surprise

[civic fox]

EAC works fine for the most part except doesn't solve the problem

[obsidian oracle]

welcome to earth

[shut birch]

why? i don’t know why

[obsidian oracle]

it bans you by your mobo

and fails at it

[civic fox]

kernel level anti cheat is not good just snoops in your stuff and has full control of your system and can ban you without reason

[shadow hazel]

all the motherboards for intel 14th gen seem to have PCIE 5.0 or PCIE 4.0 x16 slots, but the m.2 slots are only pcie 4.0?
so that's why ssd manufacturers aren't releasing pcie 5 drives yet.

[obsidian oracle]

and can corrupt ur shit lol

[civic fox]

that too

[obsidian oracle]

even windscribe corrupted my pc once

mf tried to shutdown the network access cus it felt like it

[alpine gale]

It doesn't mean the Anti-Cheat in this context though. Vanguard is also the name of a financial group.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vanguard_Group

[civic fox]

thankfully linux wont allow such things

[obsidian oracle]

yea but i meant vanguard the anticheat in that meme

[civic fox]

that i didnt know but either way the AC is bad

[obsidian oracle]

i thought that v symbol i created was the logo but it wasnt

there, this is what i tried

vanguard/valorant, same shit cus both shit

dont mind the weird ass image lmao

[outer yoke]

[civic fox]

at this point if some company has some shit i am not fazed anymore because its like common now it seems

[thin wigeon]

yoyo

[placid plume]

yeah fair enough

[rigid storm]

So, should I buy a full temu RGB power cable set at the same time I upgrade my PSU?

[outer yoke]

[obsidian oracle]

dont send me friend request again btw, might result in a block

[obsidian oracle]

whar

dont buy rgb power cable unless u want it

[civic fox]

why do people buy temu stuff like doesnt that seem sketch to some people idfk maybe its just me

[shut birch]

DON’T buy any RGB!!!

[rigid storm]

Obv I jest

[obsidian oracle]

cheaper ig idk

or if temu has good refund policies, could make use of that

[graceful burrow]

cheap is enticing regardless of overall quality

[civic fox]

no my RGB just happened to exist on my card

[civic fox]

that would make sense

[obsidian oracle]

jest?

[rigid storm]

Google 😚

[obsidian oracle]

why u sending kisses to google all of a sudden

tryna act all friendly to them so their quanatum chips dont crack your file passwords?

[rigid storm]

I'm telling you to pull up the internet dictionary

[obsidian oracle]

dictionary gonna tell me google isnt google or what lol

[rigid storm]

For jest. Look up jest.

Lawd av mersay

[obsidian oracle]

[obsidian oracle]

nah thanks

[rigid storm]

I bet you're the life of the party at the funeral home

the college dlc seems pretty good

[obsidian oracle]

nah its waste of time

unless its a goot college with good topic that u study

[gusty shadow]

bachelor of IT

[obsidian oracle]

idk what that is, bachelor doesnt sound far from cool

[gusty shadow]

rn its summer holidays in aus

[shut birch]

what, for me us accents sounds like muffled

[obsidian oracle]

ah, well its sorta the thing

[shut birch]

probably my mapping is old 🤷‍♂️

i dont think its caused by that, some is like that

your flag looks better than most people with the funky flags on their pfp btw

[shut birch]

the mapping yes

[civic fox]

i mean i did customize it myself

[obsidian oracle]

i meant the accents, some do sound like that

[rigid storm]

Uggghhhh, I just put my new ram sticks in and only one is showing up

How can I tell if only one is showing up or if I got a scammer return special with 2 16gb sticks instead of 32's?

[graceful burrow]

Hwinfo64 summary

Or just look at the label on the sticks to google the model number

[rustic tundra]

i am starting to realize intels series 2 is quite a fail

insanely low sales that a local retailer got rid of the 285k completely

[graceful burrow]

one store is a good representation of a worldwide product launch

[rustic tundra]

i hope they keep the 265k

[hot tartan]

It’s like me saying Intel series 2 is doing such a good job because I bought one

[graceful burrow]

Pretty much lol

Thanks for keeping Intel afloat akn

[hot tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/im-doing-my-part-serious-stare-gif-11979677

[rustic tundra]

my purchase will make intel recover

[hot tartan]

Are you going to be buying a 265k?

[rustic tundra]

next year sometime

[hot tartan]

Why

As an owner, why

[rustic tundra]

because

it will replace my underperforming 14700k

obviously

[hot tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/luke-lafr-wan-show-linus-tech-tips-ltt-wtf-gif-gif-27693908

[rustic tundra]

its like 10% slower than it should be

[vapid smelt]

"save" intel buy buying the gpus not cpus

[hot tartan]

In games?

[rustic tundra]

in general

mutlicore and in games

265k is faster in some cases

[hot tartan]

So you match a 265k in games lol

In multicore yes

[rustic tundra]

in games

i need to see myself

because benchmarkers dont even list the games i play

[hot tartan]

What games

[rustic tundra]

beamng for sho

and minecraft 🤷‍♂️

i also need the lower consumption

[vapid smelt]

so get a x3d cpu

[hot tartan]

Yeah unless you use multicore heavy applications for work or as a very serious hobby, X3D will be the king

[rustic tundra]

not a chance

[hot tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

As an owner I really do not recommend

[rustic tundra]

biased opinions towards amd huh

[hot tartan]

I have a 12700k + 265k + a380 + b580

[rustic tundra]

fx was a failure yet people bought these, why cant i go series 2 then?

[hot tartan]

I own no AMD products

[rustic tundra]

i also plan on pairing it with cudimm ram

apparently huge performance gains + january update

[hot tartan]

That was supposed to be December

[rustic tundra]

they have another one coming in january

[hot tartan]

If you really want Intel, I would just try for core ultra 3

[rustic tundra]

there is no such thing

there will be only core 3

[vapid smelt]

[rustic tundra]

200w over 253 is a good decrease

[hot tartan]

This is a really new arch, has some hardware flaws and requires a lot of tuning to achieve good performance. Core ultra 3 should hopefully mitigate some of it

[rustic tundra]

there wont be any core ultra 3 bud 😭

just core 3

core ultra 3 for mobile at most

[hot tartan]

The next desktop chips, my point still stands

[rustic tundra]

whatever people say

i promised myself to never buy amd

[vapid smelt]

147Watts 7950x3d is even better

[rustic tundra]

yeah i dont give a f

i will buy cudimm just to get that extra performance

[hot tartan]

You’ll need to tune your secondaries and tertiary’s yourself

[rustic tundra]

worth

[hasty dust]

heyyo

[steel marsh]

why buy a 265k

[vapid smelt]

you should break your promise with that one guy

[hot tartan]

My 12700k upgrade was worth it /s

[rustic tundra]

i dont really think that 10fps difference will be significant to me if i play at 4k

[steel marsh]

don't buy a 265 k

[rustic tundra]

everyone is acting like its a big deal

[opaque mountain]

okay question
why are windows updates so dang slow? my wifi is good and my wifi card maxes out at 300mb/s so wtf

[graceful burrow]

Windows download servers suck

[steel marsh]

because its not good purchase decision

[graceful burrow]

It's not deep, that's the only reason

Rather, Microsoft download servers

[steel marsh]

like even the 9700x would be better

[graceful burrow]

Xbox? Slow
Microsoft store? Slow
Windows updates? Slow
Windows media creation tool? Slow

[rustic tundra]

oH nOES! 265k "slower" than a 14700k by 10fps! how unfortunate! too bad thats only games at 1080!!

[opaque mountain]

i would switch to linux but compatibility and also my lazyness is holding me back

[hot tartan]

Don’t get me started on the Xbox app

[steel marsh]

downloading off the xbox app for pc game pass is slow as balls

[bitter harbor]

You and everyone else on Windows like me

[steel marsh]

even with a good connection

[vapid smelt]

the gap can be bigger then 10fps at 4k depending on the game

[hot tartan]

When I burn in hell I hope to see the Xbox app in there with me

[opaque mountain]

xbox app is just mid
i havent had issues so far but who knows

[steel marsh]

i also want to see games with windows live there too

[rustic tundra]

oh no!! was that made after the update???

well probably on release

[vapid smelt]

60%

[rustic tundra]

where other intels

[hot tartan]

The bios/microcode updates?

[rustic tundra]

obv

[vapid smelt]

was it before nov 16 2024 ?

[rustic tundra]

apparently december

[hot tartan]

They increased performance by maybe 3 frames

[rustic tundra]

thats still something

[opaque mountain]

intels chips arent meant for gaming rn, productivity sure, but unless you can cool a 13 or 14900k and make sure it doesnt oxidize, its better to get an amd chip

[rustic tundra]

one thing, everyones experience can vary

[manic torrent]

Xbox save sync is the wooorrrst. I swear to god they have it rate limited to something fucked

[steel marsh]

you can't get a 9800x3d atm but the 9700x is a good value chip

[hot tartan]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/arrow-lake-retested-with-latest-24h2-updates-and-new-bios/3.html

[rustic tundra]

i am playing games that benefit from what intel has

[opaque mountain]

intel doesnt benefit gaming much

unless we're talking about the b580 gpu

[rustic tundra]

mutlicore? beamng
singlecore? minecraft i guess?

[steel marsh]

source ?

[rustic tundra]

beamng is extremely demanding per thread

[steel marsh]

is it just i made it up ? cause people have been posting graphs and datas

[opaque mountain]

im pretty sure a 5800x3d would still be good, hell even a 5700x3d which both are on an older platform

[hot tartan]

https://nemez.net/posts/20241117-quick-minecraft-zen5-arrowlake-w11-24h2-testing/

[steel marsh]

but you are still like nah im staying intel even with amd being better

[rustic tundra]

nobody really benchmarks my games

[vapid smelt]

265K only has 8 full fat cores

[graceful burrow]

5700x3d roughly matches a 7600
They aren't very good

[split swift]

Whys that

[steel marsh]

not u

[graceful burrow]

Better for gaming than the rest of am4? Yeah for sure

In the grand scheme? Eh

[vapid smelt]

unlike the chad 7950x3d 16 full fat real cores

[hot tartan]

9800x3d crushes in Minecraft lol

[opaque mountain]

for am4 its fine, especially for those who dont want an entirely new build

[split swift]

Am4 kina ballin still

[hot tartan]

Yeah but 12 cinebench accelerators

[opaque mountain]

although i will say that am5 is preferable

[graceful burrow]

I'm goin for a 7600 when I upgrade
I'm not staying on am4 any longer

I'd only be hurting my wallet in the long run

[vapid smelt]

smh they used a 4070 not a 4090

[split swift]

Ball out with an x3d

[hot tartan]

Bummer

[graceful burrow]

Nop

Just gettin a regular 7600

[rustic tundra]

honestly one of reasons i wanna go 265k is because i want to have a "rare" setup

[steel marsh]

a worse one ?

[vapid smelt]

slow*

[opaque mountain]

honestly fair, until i get a better monitor for my 6700xt, ill stay on am4 and probably upgrade to a 5950x to use it as a vm or productivity machine

[split swift]

More like a setup that's just bad

Waste of money

[rustic tundra]

well if you know how much my i7 is underperforming it isnt gonna be worse

[split swift]

Am5 better

[rustic tundra]

it will be an actual improvement

[manic torrent]

Make your setup rare by building cool custom shit, not by buying unpopular components

[steel marsh]

that set up would be garbo

[split swift]

And cheaper

[opaque mountain]

wait wtf makes a 265k rare?

[rustic tundra]

let me test first with proper measures and then will give honest opinion

[steel marsh]

am5 is cheaper and well can't get x3d chips atm but 9700x is still good

[rustic tundra]

without amd biased opinion

[opaque mountain]

found userbenchmark guy

[hot tartan]

Bro I own the chip and don’t own AMD at all lol

[vapid smelt]

you could try to RMA you cpu or buy a new one with the new micro code update it shouldnt slowy die

[graceful burrow]

Nah they were calling Intel a failure earlier

[steel marsh]

also 319 usd for a 9700x

[hot tartan]

I am very Intel biased and I still recommend AMD lol

[steel marsh]

new

[rustic tundra]

i dont need to mess with that grille type of cpu

[opaque mountain]

oh damn didnt see that lol

[manic torrent]

You should build a PC crane

[rustic tundra]

series 2 improvement

[steel marsh]

b650 am5 board with 32gb 6000mhz cl30 ram with 9700x would be a better set up

[rustic tundra]

not if i buy 8400 mts cudimm ram

get real with that one

[opaque mountain]

if you want to game without having your wallet cry, get an am5 build with like a 7600 or if you really want to spend, wait until the 9800x3d is back in stock

[steel marsh]

just to burn money ?

[rustic tundra]

obviously

[opaque mountain]

bro cudimm doesnt make much of a difference in gaming

[rustic tundra]

my wallet doesnt cry

[steel marsh]

im gunna set my money on fire buying cudimm sticks

[rustic tundra]

another amd type of opinion?

cool

[opaque mountain]

not really, look at benchmarks

[rustic tundra]

i will test myself

[opaque mountain]

it helps with productivity and editing but gaming, not so much

[rustic tundra]

i am on ddr5 already

and i have quite a lot of money on me

[steel marsh]

can't fix stupid

[hasty dust]

what is the best bang for your buck AMD and motherboard combo? im lookin into new things for my PC, it is suffering

[vapid smelt]

r5 7500f and a cheap b650 mother board

[rustic tundra]

am5 would be something like a 7600x

i am unfamiliar with amd chipsets

[opaque mountain]

new id go for a b650 with either a 7600 or 7500f if you can find one

[steel marsh]

6000mhz cl30 ram too

[hasty dust]

will the longetivty be good?

[opaque mountain]

id go for 32gb but 16 is still acceptable

[steel marsh]

i meant 32gb

[hasty dust]

ive had MSI and ASUS motherboards the past 2017 to 2024 and ive had some annoying problems with them

[opaque mountain]

oh boy dont get me started on amoury crate and gcc

i have a gigabyte a520m s2h and my god is gcc awful sometimes
ive somehow had gcc crash windows a few times and half the time it just refuses to work

[vapid smelt]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805676873344.html? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ppztnp $355 for cpu cooler mobo and ram

[hasty dust]

i have some RIPJAW GSKILL DDR4 ram from my prior build, cant i just run those again?

[vapid smelt]

no this is ddr5

[hasty dust]

oohhhh okay

[opaque mountain]

are you on a tight budget?

[hasty dust]

ill keep those in mind, i wanna figure out the problem with my PC before jumping into buying new parts

im going out to Micocenter Friday to check out any deals i can get

[sharp lynx]

so, whos seen the megalag video on Honey yet?

[vapid smelt]

many of us

[sharp lynx]

you think lmg will come out with a bigger response to this now that this is becoming more public?

[alpine gale]

Maybe, maybe not. They ended their partnership with Honey years ago.

true, im still trying to decide if i think that this was a good enough response, or if there shouldve been an investigation about 2 years ago

like, as in depth or as close to in depth as megalag did

[dusky jacinth]

Mmmmnaawww they should've gone lower honestly, like with a 4060 Ti. Lol.

[graceful burrow]

Valid af tbh

[austere shale]

So geopolitics aside I just got an Instagram AD for a company that salvages Russian tanks that Ukraine kills, and they make little keychains with QR codes on them you can scan and watch the video of the tank being killed that got turned into your keychain. And that’s kind of an alpha move

[graceful burrow]

I think geopolitics aside that's still a very inappropriate thing to share here lmao

[sharp lynx]

well, better late than never, im happy its happening on wan show. i should probably look into paypal itself then too. and maybe also look deeper into services like aura and deleteme since i was thinking of using them, but always been on the fence

[austere shale]

It’s appropriate enough to have an AD on instagram so 🤷‍♂️

[graceful burrow]

Instagram ads don't follow the same rules that the server does that's a useless comparison lol

[sharp lynx]

so are gambling ads and mobile ads of questionable pg rating to say the least lol

[austere shale]

Thing says “made in Russia, recycled in Ukraine”

[graceful burrow]

Oh yeah rule 3 for sure

[sharp lynx]

ya thats all ill say there

[graceful burrow]

Like indisputably lmao

[sharp lynx]

yeah, like im going to keep using an adblocker (ublock origin right now) until i hear/see an improvement regarding the ad situation, like how many actual ads vs the ones people rag on about all the time when you even beging to mention youtube

[austere shale]

Well, it’s not NSFW, and I didn’t exactly say anything about picking sides in said conflict and I won’t, was just sharing the keychain AD

And before you say it is NSFW, if the actual LTT channel can make jokes about “flared bases” for things I feel like what I said is alright

[sharp lynx]

ig at least he also didnt really talk about it like he was talking about it just to promote it

[graceful burrow]

Did you read the rule kek
Didnt it say discussion of NSFW things
Aren't we talking about them sending videos of people in tanks getting killed right now

Is that not nsfw

Wouldn't it be

[graceful burrow]

There are many things ltt YouTube does that we can't talk about or discuss here lmao that's not a good argument

[sharp lynx]

true lol. im just trying to walk on eggshells right now until i earn more rep in this server, i have my reasons

[graceful burrow]

April fools? The windows activation key video recently?

[full fossil]

I'd still use an ad blocker even then

[austere shale]

I would say only if I posted the video, or if I said the company’s name that makes them that would be considered promoting. Just saying the company exists I feel is fine

[sharp lynx]

yeah i appealed a ban cuz i discussed something related to that maybe a few years ago? either way im back and im trying to be a good boy lol

so anyways

[kindred ridge]

Linus tech tips vids are fire

[graceful burrow]

We can ask a mod and settle it once and for all

[austere shale]

Go for it

[graceful burrow]

<@&750150305383186585> is this an appropriate topic for the server

[sharp lynx]

part of me is questioning if pinging all the mods was the right call lol

[graceful burrow]

That's what they want you to do

They say to do that lol

It's pinned in tc1 I think

[austere shale]

It’s okay, it happens a lot. They’re use to it

[graceful burrow]

Nvm it's right here

[austere shale]

Most of the time it’s people shitposting or trying to rage bait

[sharp lynx]

i see. i just figure its something people only do if someone has something that the mods need to see right away, like an [a]mod ping would be an emergency alert lol

[graceful burrow]

Only doin what the mods told me

[grim belfry]

Fuck you Apple

[sharp lynx]

but ya i think so will i. i paid youtube $30 after forgetting to cancel my youtube premium, and im fine with sending a creator a dollar for the content they show me, and article ads are jsut plain rediculous lol

[manic torrent]

Tanks can't get killed, they aren't alive

[grim belfry]

Give me the fucking settings

[sharp lynx]

ragebait detected lol /s

[vapid smelt]

but it doesn't have a flared base

[grim belfry]

It’s not even

I’m just mad because Apple doesn’t let you enable VoNR in Australia on iPhones

[sharp lynx]

ik lol thats why i said /s

whats VoNR?

[grim belfry]

Voice over 5G

Like VoLTE

[vapid smelt]

https://www.wired.com/story/apple-airpods-hearing-aid-hack/ apple is great

[grim belfry]

It means even if you have 5G coverage, you can’t make a standard voice call

Fucking stupid

[manic torrent]

Because fuck you that's what

[grim belfry]

iOS has support for it too
They can enable it in the US

[manic torrent]

@grim belfry I thought of you

[sharp lynx]

huh, maybe ive never heard of that kind of situation before, so you have 5g, but a call wont go through why?

[grim belfry]

LMAO

[manic torrent]

Because fuck you

[sharp lynx]

:D

[manic torrent]

5g is packet data, voice over 5G is a layer on top of that, which is kind of ironic really.

[grim belfry]

Crazy range though

Getting 5G now where previously there was nothing

[sharp lynx]

id probably replace my iphone for my pixel 9 pro fold if it wasnt for the fact that my series 9 apple watch makes replying to texts and calls so much easier with the double tap feature, especially when im working on a manlift or on the catwalk 40ft above the ground of a hall in my city's convention centre

[grim belfry]

But can’t make fucking calls because Apple says fuck you

[vapid smelt]

who makes phone calls in 2024?

[grim belfry]

Me

[manic torrent]

I made one this morning! I needed a doctor's appointment urgently

[vapid smelt]

[sharp lynx]

how mad would i make people if i told them just to use google voice? lol

[manic torrent]

Not available in Australia, also because fuck you

[sharp lynx]

(i dont use it lol, idk how much id trust google to make my phone calls for me and not store a bunch of stuff on their computers)

[grim belfry]

Barely any demand compared to the effort it would require

[sharp lynx]

ah, youll have to forgive me, im canadian lmao

(an albertan no less too)

[manic torrent]

Yeah but iirc they actually had it as a beta for a while.

[grim belfry]

Their ACMA trial certificate probably ran out

[manic torrent]

Yeah it was years ago

[grim belfry]

Probably a lot more expensive to offer free voice calls here, too, thanks to Tel$tra

[manic torrent]

Yeah particularly at the time.

In 2025 of course, voice calls are worthless

[grim belfry]

Telstra Wholesale doesn’t think so

[sharp lynx]

then again, i dont see people completely getting rid of voice calling either right?

[grim belfry]

Origination is still like .90c/min

[austere shale]

Molly says goodnight

[sharp lynx]

[amber forge]

Is there any reason why I would buy a 7600 or 7600 xt or 7700 xt over a 6650 XT if I want pure price to performance?

[vapid smelt]

7600 and 6650xt are basically the same

[manic torrent]

B580.

The new undisputed midrange champ

[neat gull]

Honey scam is absolutely insane

[amber forge]

Do I just wait till it comes back into stock here in Canada then

[amber forge]

Cause I agree, if the price stays the same it is just the best

[golden talon]

good to see my $300 4060 Ti 16GB still has a healthy lead

[manic torrent]

I would

[manic torrent]

1440 the b580 gets better

[vapid smelt]

let me shrink the lead by 5%

[amber forge]

Should I still get the rest of the pc parts if they go on sale?

[golden talon]

its now an unhealthy lead

[amber forge]

unhealthy how?

[golden talon]

bc its closer to my beloved 4060 ti 16gb

and i dont want it to be

[somber pecan]

Huge PC guy but like my console games from time to time can someone recommend a good entertainment center that can fit a series x vertically also got a switch and soundbar etc currently using a 55 inch tv as well

[wooden flower]

you’re better off getting something you like and just modifying it

[lament nova]

caught in 360p

[neat gull]

LMG the type of people to disband the partnership with honey and do a different partnership with a brand that does the exact same thing

[pallid falcon]

Ltg?

[neat gull]

Reread

I’m tired

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[vapid smelt]

i cant i delete every message i read like im in mission impossible

[neat gull]

Whatever that means

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/self-destruct-mission-impossible-gif-14614409065208668893

[pallid falcon]

It hasint deelwtwd yet

[crude vortex]

the like dislike ratio on linus’s new video is crazy lmfao

this was a bad year for tech creators,mrwhostheboss,tech burner and other indian tech creators and linus was the last person i expected to get messed up

[wispy marsh]

Woah it's close to my 6800XT

[winged spire]

It’s crazy how people just like

Assume money appears out of nowhere

[wispy marsh]

If you're evil, it does

[winged spire]

Was honey’s business plan not just incrediblely obvious?

[winged spire]

No, it does not lmao

[prime solstice]

Thankfully I never really used honey I had it installed but ever since it said it couldn’t find any coupons I just stopped using it in general

[odd gorge]

I guessed people assumed they were being scammed in a different way.
It's the good ol' Kansas City Shuffle.

[winged spire]

I don’t think anyone was particularly misled

It’s not like they were hiding it

[wispy marsh]

They get magic money by looking the other way

[odd gorge]

I always assumed they probably worked like every other promoted thing.
They farm your data and sell it on.
What we didn't know is the creators got sold down the river too.

[winged spire]

“People are angry because they didn’t actually think about where the money was coming from”

[odd gorge]

Unfortunately unless you throw all your tech in the ocean and become Amish it's very hard to avoid the former.

What surprises me is the only channel to catch on immediately switched to a company that does the exact same thing

It's like trying to right a sinking ship by drilling more holes in the hull

[long briar]

is that a problem?

like once in a while I get free 10 bucks from it

it has a tangible benefit and you can effectively ignore it since the app is kinda useless

[faint reef]

wsg

[smoky badge]

lol

[vapid smelt]

follow the traffic laws i bet

why drive so lsow

[manic torrent]

Were you driving while black? You should know better

[manic torrent]

.... You don't think so?

Aside from when they literally said things that were provably and categorically not true?

[vapid smelt]

you alwasy drive 5mph over

[manic torrent]

Even worse. Probably on drugs.

[manic torrent]

Especially in florida

[winged spire]

Were you staying in the lines

[manic torrent]

Anyone doing the speed limit is suspicious

[manic torrent]

Such a good defense. "Your honour in my defense the people I scammed were stupid because they didn't realise"

[winged spire]

Crazy how I wasn’t defending it

And you just like … invented your own interpretation

[manic torrent]

Sooo this is not defending it?

[winged spire]

I wasn’t defending it, I was simply calling people out for not actually thinking where the magic money button came from

[manic torrent]

You said nobody was "particularly" misled.

They were outright lied to. It was literally part of the core product.

Exactly, same as homeless people are all just lazy. It's their own fault.

[winged spire]

Do you need me to call someone lol

[vocal fulcrum]

I have to take out my GPU and CPU cooler to upgrade RAM

[blazing beacon]

yall hear about the honey stuff lol i kinda find it funny

[winged spire]

Very funny

As someone that doesn’t use honey or affiliate links it’s very funny

[blazing beacon]

i find it funny because "youtuber promotes better help" and they are like "u cant expect us to vet EVERY SPONSOR" honey scams them and they are like "worst scam on youtube guys"

[manic torrent]

I find it hilarious when huge companies perpetrate fraud and then people blame the victims.

[blazing beacon]

i never use affiliate links but honestly ive gotten good money back from honey gold

got 30 dollars back on a 150 dollar LG monitor

[winged spire]

Nice

Actually I lie, the only times I use affiliate links are when they’re my own lol

[blazing beacon]

youtubers have NO problem promoting scams to viewers so i think its sweet karma

[neat gull]

Speaking of karma

[winged spire]

Let’s call out honey, but before we do that let’s talk about our sponsor, [company who’s objectively worse for society]

[manic torrent]

... karma. For a company worth billions of dollars to "steal" money from youtubers?

[winged spire]

Swapping out an affiliate link is literally no way remotely the same as stealing

[blazing beacon]

most of these youtubers are rich and have pushed scams themselves so why should i care i dont have a parasocial relationship with them

[winged spire]

That’s just straight up a delusional take

[manic torrent]

Why should you care about fraud?

[blazing beacon]

watch how quiet they are when they promote masterworks

[blazing beacon]

karma they promote scams themselves why do people give youtubers a pass EVERY SINGLE TIME

[manic torrent]

In no way at all am I doing that.

[blazing beacon]

i buy 0 youtube sponsors for this reason they are all bad value except VPNs ig

[manic torrent]

... except VPNs? You're a fucking idiot.

[winged spire]

💀 could you not

[blazing beacon]

like guardio or manscaped or better help or masterworks

[vapid smelt]

VPNs promoted by youtubers are the biggest scams of all

[blazing beacon]

or kamikoto knives

or established titles

[winged spire]

I use my YouTube VPN to use the BBC’s British only stuff lol

[manic torrent]

When someone demonstrates they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, I'm going to call them out. Simples.

[blazing beacon]

yea but the diffrence is all VPNs cost about the same so i cant actually save any money by not using one that sponsors everyone

[vapid smelt]

like they claim to keep you safe from hackers and shit

[winged spire]

💀

[blazing beacon]

i think VPNs are mid but are not as bad of a value because i cant avoid the mega ones besides mulvad or something idk

[blazing beacon]

for sure a lie

and creators push those too so thanks for proving my point i 100% think if a youtuber promotes a bad product they are at fault too

[winged spire]

I use surfshark, it’s nice enough and doesn’t have dial up speeds like others I’ve used

[manic torrent]

according to @winged spire it's fine to lie.

[winged spire]

You’re literally delusional

You called him a fucking idiot like a child and I ask if you could not do that

[blazing beacon]

so i find the honey thing funny because honey is the 1 and ONLY youtube sponsor i have used besides uhhh bit defender

[manic torrent]

nobody was misled apart from the obviously many thousands of people that were

[winged spire]

Cool

[blazing beacon]

honey scams the creators i think its karma for them scamming viewers karma is sweet like honey

[manic torrent]

"nobody was misled because I didn't use honey and I have a smug feeling of superiority"

[winged spire]

I would have a smug feeling of superiority if I could give anymore than 0 fucks

[blazing beacon]

sure it mislead people but why am i meant to care when creators dont care enough to vet stuff like better help

[manic torrent]

you gave mroe than zero fucks you wouldn't have been banging on about it

[winged spire]

Nope

I just think it’s funny (like I’ve stated previously)

[blazing beacon]

when better help came out as a scam creators took FOREVER to say something the second honey is called out they swarm on it it SHOWS how they are

[winged spire]

What ever happened to better help

Do they still exist?

[manic torrent]

because

• all youtubers are rich
• it's funny when billion dollar companies scam youtubers
• all youtubers require complete vetting of all sponsors

[blazing beacon]

so im happy i just hope honey remains as it is because honestly ive saved money on it and i dont use affiliate codes

[blazing beacon]

i do think they need to vet sponsors YES

[manic torrent]

how? how would you have them do that?

[blazing beacon]

test out the product before hand and look into the company

[vapid smelt]

they would have to vet them every month or so

[blazing beacon]

good they are getting paid so do it

[winged spire]

then do that?

[manic torrent]

That would have done absolutely nothing to prevent this.

[blazing beacon]

yea but i have no fucks to give

[winged spire]

Poor YouTuber has to make sure he’s not scamming his audience once a month lol

[blazing beacon]

as i said i find it to be sweet karma for creators
