I bought my cat a Dell Latitude 7390

[obsidian oracle]

bad decision

[left abyss]

i bought my cat a Bagger 293

[obsidian oracle]

im jealous of him

[fossil frost]

everyone seen that apparently all Tesla’s globally are all playing up?

They are all pulling to the Reich

[dusty dove]

so im confuse

did he really do that sign with his hand

or

was he doing 'my heart goes out to all the people' hand motion?

I know he did it x2

[patent harness]

that's actually a good joke

[fossil frost]

He did it once to everyone, and then turned round and did it to the flag without the heart tap first

[patent harness]

Didn't he tweet out something saying something about it but he didn't actually deny it?

[fossil frost]

"Get over it, it's tired now, 'everyone is a [banned word]' is boring now"

[patent harness]

Ah here like

[fossil frost]

Didn't say it wasn't that, or that he wasn't one, he just said that people who say that he is one, are boring..

[rustic tundra]

lift the hand 90 degrees and you got a roman salute

[slate apex]

hello everyone

[full fossil]

wdym

[rustic tundra]

instead of straight with the arm

lift the hand little up

and thats the roman salute

[full fossil]

oh ok

Very spaghetti

[summer folio]

Notice how it's upright position & forward

[fossil frost]

A dab needs both arms, and the dropped head

[deep fern]

guys

would this work for a minecraft server

translate if necessary🙏

[fossil frost]

i run a minecraft server on 2 cores of an i7 7700, and 4gb of ram... you can run a minecraft on a raspberry pi

[deep fern]

yes but with mods

i have a modpack of ~40 mods

[fossil frost]

depends on the mods, depends on the number of active players

some (most) mods for minecraft are REALLY badly written, and incredibly inefficient

[deep fern]

im mainly using the create mod and its addons

what i dont understand from that case intertech jx-500 is that it claims it has a built in PSU

but none of the images show any power connection

[nova needle]

Winkelwagen is a hell of a word

[deep fern]

its shopping cart in dutch

[nova needle]

Ik

[nova needle]

Winkel tho

That means a degree in German

[fossil frost]

given that a raspberry pi zero can run a vanilla minectaft server, i would guess that any desktop system would run a server with mods for more than a hand full of players

[nova needle]

As in geometry

[regal pecan]

it should work for a minecraft server

[fossil frost]

wait until you find out what "speed" is in dutch 😄

[deep fern]

where is it getting the power from 😭

[nova needle]

Wait till you hear swedish batman

[deep fern]

snelheid

[fossil frost]

Speed Limit in Dutch is "Fart Kontrol" 😄 (im probably misspelling the second part)

[deep fern]

nee..

[nova needle]

That just funny if youre english

[deep fern]

that sounds more like german lol

in dutch its Snelheidslimiet

[fossil frost]

sorry.,.. its swedish, not dutch, i misrememberred

[deep fern]

anyways

[fossil frost]

https://www.news18.com/viral/swedens-fart-control-signboard-leaves-internet-in-stitches-heres-what-it-actually-means-9110080.html

[deep fern]

how does this case work like none of the images show a power connection and it claims "built-in PSU"

[fossil frost]

that PCB, and all the wires, are the PSU

[deep fern]

a

oh its 12v 10a

aka 120w

[deep fern]

would 120w be good for those specs lol

oh btw the motherboard is a motherboard & cpu mix so you cant swap it out

its like soldered on

[fossil frost]

cpu needs 6 watts...

[deep fern]

LOL

i might be overestimating how much power computer parts need lmfao

[fossil frost]

double that for turbo boosting.. then a few watts for ram, few more for nvme.. it will likely use less than 50w total under load

[fossil frost]

no, normally they use loads more, its just that this is a basic spec laptop style cpu, which usually use much less power because they are much less powerful

but still plenty to run a MC server

[deep fern]

ahhh

also the entire build is fanless

the cpu passively cooled by heatsink

[fossil frost]

yeah, with a 6w cpu, you could look at it sternly, and that would create enough airflow to cool it

[deep fern]

max height of cpu cooler 4.5cm

[summer folio]

My friend thought his Be Quite! CPU cooler used 250w because it said 250W tdp on the box.

[deep fern]

what does tdp even mean

[fossil frost]

Thermal Design Power

[full fossil]

the amount of heat it can cool

[fossil frost]

but what it actually IS, is different depending on the manufacturer, they all measure it slightly differently

[deep fern]

ahhh

[summer folio]

it's clearly another 250w load on the PSU, just by the CPU cooler itself.

[full fossil]

in power consuming components, heat is also measured in watts

[full fossil]

real

[fossil frost]

not always... its the equivalent power required to generate that heat over a certain distance, for a given surface area.. and depending on the manufacturer, that surface area is different, and whether or not they take ambient temp into account is different, and how they measure the watts and where abouts they measure it from is different

TDP is a rough guide, its by no means, fully accurate

[deep fern]

but wont every device have different efficiency?

[full fossil]

yes, that is true

[deep fern]

like 2 devices that take up the same power but one has worse efficiency wont the TDP measured be worse?

[neon mesa]

My internet is 12x faster than it was a year ago and it still doesn't feel enough
I think what needs upgrading is my patience

[full fossil]

dependent on the amount of surface area the heat generating component has, in cpu/gpu terms, the size and location of the die(s)

[fossil frost]

yes.. 🙂

[deep fern]

gigabit?

[fossil frost]

(i was trying to explain it, but theres no point, its so stupid and so complex, and all arbitrary, because manufacturers want to keep certain star numbers like 65, 105, 115, 180... for no reason other than to say, look at how much better performance per watt we get now)

[neon mesa]

Nah, i wish, 400-500mbit average

[deep fern]

damn

imagine no gigabit 😎

jk jk jk

[full fossil]

i have 300mbps

https://tenor.com/view/cute-cat-cat-cat-tongue-tongue-tongue-sticking-out-gif-17562645742453176990

tragic

[fossil frost]

fail

meh.. my kids steeling my bandwidth from me 😄

thats supposed to be 1200/120

[deep fern]

idk why i am connected to the airport server

thats like 30km away

[fossil frost]

nearest server with the lowest ping

[deep fern]

11ms aint bad for 30km right?

[fossil frost]

its fine yeah

[deep fern]

lol it takes light 0.1 milisecond to travel 30km

[fossil frost]

thats without factoring in the different conversions it goes through during that time, and assuming you are fibre the entire way

[deep fern]

doesnt fibre optic lose signal after some distance?

like at a kilometer im sure the signal would be a lot less

[fossil frost]

yeah, but its 100s of km

copper loses signal quality over a few 100 metres.. nevermind km, and the higher the speed you want to use, the quicker it degrades

[fossil frost]

under sea fibre cables are 1000s of km long, and carry terabits

[deep fern]

my house is still connected via copper

my father doesnt want to switch to fibre optic since he will lose the benefits at the current isp (some free channels he watches sometimes)

[fossil frost]

i have fibre to the wall, but then its copper on the inside (limitation of almost all ISPs here)

arbitrary limitation based on the fact that they all buy off the shelf routers, which take copper

[pseudo sand]

I need to sneeze but I can’t

[deep fern]

our current isp only gives fibre optic 1 gigabit

we already have that over copper

other isp has 4gigabit

im not sure my cable can handle that though

like the one that runs through the wall

[fossil frost]

max here is 1gbit (but you end up getting 1100-1200), unless you pay for a dedicated business line to your house.. installation alone can cost 1000s, then cost 100s per month

[deep fern]

it was painful getting those cables in the wall lol it took ages

we jus got one of these running through the wall

leading up to a ethernet switch in my room to also get wifi to my brothers pc

in the other room

[fossil frost]

i just bought a big spool of cat6, and ran it under all the floorboards in the house, and its all hooked into a switch, all the bedrooms, and the living room, and the office, and the attic... all have their own cat6 wall sockets... was getting new carpets, so decided "fuck it" while the carpets were already up

[deep fern]

into the attic? where does it go up

[fossil frost]

where the old water pipes used to go inside the walls

[deep fern]

oohh smart

[fossil frost]

uk houses built before the 80s, all had a water tank in the attic... but i ripped mine out and replaced the entire heating system with one that isnt shit 🙂

[deep fern]

my house was built in 1996-1998 iirc

[fossil frost]

mine was built in the 50s.. but theres only really the outer bricks that are still the same part of the house, ive replaced everything else in the time since i bought it

[hearty spear]

fuck crimping that bullshit. That was terrible

[smoky badge]

Oof

[merry scaffold]

Yo. question i got a nvidia tesla m60. and a corsair 1000x psu in my pc. I have one adapter. a 2x 8 pin pcie to 1x 8pin EPS. can i run it on one type 4 cable with two pcie 6+2 cables. that go in to the adapter? or should i use one and of those one. only use one 8 pin for each cable?

[frozen spindle]

so, i just randomly remembered that one clip where a computer fell off the right side of the table in one of the LTT Videos from the old set... does anyone remember what video that was? i cant even remember what the video was about

[vapid moss]

https://youtu.be/9wJQEHNYE7M?t=785

[frozen spindle]

ah, it was about early ryzen

[vapid moss]

timestamped

[frozen spindle]

thanks!

i miss that set

and the set where Linus is flanked by two shelves in the back

[vapid moss]

the 2 shelves behind him was the langley house lol

with the original kitchen set

[frozen spindle]

i recall when they first moved into the new studio they had one with two shelves in the back, the set was lit like purple or something

not the one in the house (i dont think?)

in fact, actually, i think they just uploaded a video in the last month or two that featured it

[pallid falcon]

Damn lookin at that all i have to say is damn bro i thought you stopped saying the hard r (assuming true)

[alpine dock]

classic linus

[frozen spindle]

that incident probably made him think about retiring

[vapid moss]

the messages in those screenshots are from 2nd June 2021, the "Hard R" WAN show was 10th March 2023

LTT discord: bashes GN discord

See, not too dissimilar after all.

[vapid moss]

don't be bashing on other channels thanks, we're better than that

[wispy marsh]

I like both sides, i'm telling what i'm seeing

GN is good, LTT is good, J2C is good

Optimumtech is legendary because he appears to be a one-man channel

[fossil frost]

It's a school playground slap fight, on YouTube, by two grown men who were friends but aren't anymore

It's all very childish and could have been done without it being in the public eye

[wispy marsh]

I just realised they could be good friends like Shammi and Austin

Except Shammi and Austin do ridiculous pranks on each other all the time

[fossil frost]

It happened with demolition ranch and Kentucky ballistics a few years ago. Then they just agreed to stop it and be friends. And now DRs mech company does the merch for Kentucky ballistics.

It's all quite childish and all creates viewership

[wispy marsh]

I'm lost

[fossil frost]

Two large channels in another type of community on YouTube

[wispy marsh]

[fossil frost]

Two major channels in a YouTube community type, commonly find a.way to have issues with each other, and no matter how negative it ends up being, both come out as winners with more subs and more views

[harsh quartz]

I mean, not particularly, it does affect their businesses bottom lines, and Tbf one of them put it in the public eye

[candid fiber]

This is nothing compared to beauty youtube...

[fossil frost]

I mean the childishness with which is being conducted, is like a playground slap fight. Not saying it doesn't hurt anything initially. But it will go on to benefit both, both will get more subs because of all this

[harsh quartz]

I think that was true of the first bought, last year or whenever it was, this one less so IMO.

[fossil frost]

Only one way to find out how this all plays out... 🍿🍿🍿

[candid fiber]

Additionally people on the LTT subreddit need to stop being parasocial

[mental moon]

why does this reinstated ltt/gn controversy feel like the midst of north and south korea bickering against each other again?

[austere shale]

Honestly? Who cares

[fossil frost]

That's just Reddit

[austere shale]

They just gotta feed the chickens. As long as they keep putting out videos the majority of viewers will put their heads down and not care regardless of what happens

[muted relic]

My first thought at seeing the new video was thinking that was an enameled processor die or something

There are people that do that

Take the dies of old dead computer parts and make little trinkets out of them

Paperweights, keyboard keycaps. A necklace wouldn't be that out there.

And that itself is pretty neat imo

usually thorium powder

[pastel haven]

Yeah, but basically radioactive junk

the thought emporium has a few great videos on the topic

[summer folio]

Because Mikrotik is clearly superior

[steel marsh]

why thorium powder ?

yk billionaire elon is using cloudflare for his goofy website

the doge can't get DDOSed

[tiny halo]

what is his goofy website, is doge.gov his website or like x.com?

[sudden gazelle]

both

doge.gov and x.com are his goofy websites

[willow trellis]

to be fair everyone uses cloudflare

the only entity I know that don't use cloudflare are kiwifarms and steam

(because steam uses akamai)

[sudden gazelle]

x.com doesn't use cloudflare

neither does usa.gov

[willow trellis]

i mean

[sudden gazelle]

but yes most use cloudflare

[willow trellis]

contracts

[tiny halo]

did you hear he heiled to trump

[sudden gazelle]

i did see lmao

cant send a picture here can i

[willow trellis]

but yeah twitter has their own networking backbone and usa.gov probably uses some kind of system they contracted someone with

maybe azure

[tiny halo]

such a weirdo

[sudden gazelle]

he did it just for the headlines

[willow trellis]

iirc azure provides reverse proxies so possible

[sudden gazelle]

yea probably

[willow trellis]

yeah https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/

azure does have their own competitor to cf

well microsoft is hired by the us govt

[sudden gazelle]

well they arguably have the best operating systems and services

[willow trellis]

debatable in operating system

but services yeah azure is great

expensive but great

[sudden gazelle]

i wanna try it, just been messing with windows server VMs

apparently i get 200 dollars of credit if I wanna play with it

like some company who still uses MSSQL or IIS as their backend and cannot be bothered to contract someone else to migrate it to something else

[sudden gazelle]

its mostly schools and small businesses using winsvr

[willow trellis]

if you're starting a new product you don't use MSSQL, only old products

[clever palm]

Any corporate workplace that has decisions made by normal people.

[sudden gazelle]

now thats a bold statement

[willow trellis]

corporate workplaces will just prefer a linux distro because it's cheaper upfront

the only reason they would even consider running Windows Server is if they wanted to run AD

[sudden gazelle]

can't you host AD for windows on some linux distros with janky software

[clever palm]

Not when you made your first tech choices 30 years ago

[tiny halo]

Microsoft definetly uses linux

[willow trellis]

that's what i said #public-chat message

[sudden gazelle]

evident

[willow trellis]

yes they do

azure runs on linux

[tiny halo]

I meant for their servers

[sudden gazelle]

i know

[willow trellis]

azure runs on linux dude

[tiny halo]

nice

[sudden gazelle]

but if they didn't use linux they probably wouldn't give us windows users WSL

[willow trellis]

they only keep Windows Server around for the 5 people that still use MSSQL and the AD users

actually MSSQL is on Linux now

[tiny halo]

Isn't that possible to do with wine or a virtual machine

[sudden gazelle]

yep

[willow trellis]

yeah just run a VM

[vast bone]

don't get me started on Azure, they have a shitty contract with the Ministry of Education where I live every couple of days it goes down, We can't even access the important infrastructure.

[willow trellis]

thats what they literally do lmfao

[sudden gazelle]

hence why vmware exists (fuck broadcom)

[willow trellis]

kid named hyper-v:

[sudden gazelle]

well hyper-v runs on the windows kernel

[willow trellis]

yues

I love vmware, I hate broadcom

[plush jungle]

Active in here

[sudden gazelle]

same here

[plush jungle]

Anyone n here

[tiny halo]

their login system is so messed up

[willow trellis]

vmware is mid because their linux support is abysmal

[tiny halo]

we are discussing

[tiny halo]

It's perfect? wdym?

oh I meant workstation

nvm

[willow trellis]

workstation is horrible on linux

[sudden gazelle]

yeah i cant even install it

[tiny halo]

what?

[willow trellis]

the kernel modules barely work

[plush jungle]

I’m debating on a good mini pc

[sudden gazelle]

might be my crappy linux skills tho

[tiny halo]

what distro

[willow trellis]

no, vmware just doesnt maintain their kernel module for the hypervisor

[vast bone]

What did broadcom do to make you hate them but love their products?

[willow trellis]

they made the rpi4 soc

[tiny halo]

their terrible login system for me

[sudden gazelle]

vmware is a great product, broadcom didnt make it

[vast bone]

Yeah they bought it

imma be honest vmware became worse after broadcom bought it

[mental moon]

and why would you sat that? just wondering

[sudden gazelle]

well yes

[mental moon]

they did make it free, but the download link requires an account :/

[sudden gazelle]

yeah no

[tiny halo]

just like almost everything being purchased by a company (mojang by microsoft as an example)

[mental moon]

i once almost lost sanity trying to download

[sudden gazelle]

https://dl.malwarewatch.org

its got many vmware versions

[vast bone]

Are you talking about the trial?

[willow trellis]

nah minecraft got a bit better since msft got mojang

[sudden gazelle]

hes talking about workstation

[tiny halo]

c418?

[willow trellis]

more devs and budget

[mental moon]

no, the entire workstation pro software became free for personal use

[willow trellis]

this ain't about him

[tiny halo]

and on https://web.archive.org

[sudden gazelle]

forgot about that 😅

only reason i did malwarewatch is cos its got my useful tools in one place

[willow trellis]

mojang now has more budget to actually do things with minecraft now that microsoft owns it

[tiny halo]

I guess

[vast bone]

oh shi.

[mossy egret]

https://gamersnexus.net/gn-extras/our-response-linus-sebastian

the c418 bs is just corporate ip stuff

there is no need to bring that up again please

right out owning the IP is better than just leasing it from some indie creator

[mental moon]

just as sick and tired as during the 2023 controversy

[mossy egret]

I just saw it as it was posted 3 hours ago

[clever palm]

What do we have to do to get St*ve to remove Linus's sandals, wash his feet with his tears and dry them with his hair?

[vast bone]

oh you too? i also used to activate the free keys on there

[glass mural]

The financial loss is incredible

[mental moon]

but still, let us not escalate this further

[tiny halo]

we don't talk about that please (it's allowed)

lol

[mossy egret]

Just wanted to hear some input. Nobody is trying to escelate anything. lol

[willow trellis]

meh, Workstation doesn't make any money at all, it's actually just kind of a trial for the big ESXi

[vast bone]

Oh Please, Broadcom Isn't going to sue me anytime soon. (they can try)

[tiny halo]

lol

[willow trellis]

VMWare's money cow is not Workstation, it's ESXi

[tiny halo]

gonna snitch

[willow trellis]

They only went out of business because Linux hypervisor distros got mainstream

Proxmox, TrueNAS Scale, etc

[sudden gazelle]

yep, also activated a few other tools with it, but then I tried total commander

[tiny halo]

wow,

[vast bone]

it's currently 10:49 PM

[mental moon]

what i'm seeing this as:
2023 - GN gives genuine criticism, Linus screws up initially but overall patched
now - GN attempts to reinstate drama, LTT is sick and tired of this BS, cracks appear within GN

[willow trellis]

everyone and their dog uses Proxmox over ESXi because it just supports more hardware thanks to it being Linux

[sudden gazelle]

yep

you seen any homelabbers using esxi? no

[willow trellis]

i dont even run vms

[mental moon]

i don't hate GN, i just don't like people reinstating unpopular grudges and acting like (current U.S. president as of this message being sent)

[willow trellis]

i just straight up run a bare metal k8s cluster

why would you run dedicated VMs for each application when you can just run a lighter container

[mossy egret]

Exactly how i felt when i saw WAN on friday.

[mental moon]

i haven't watched wan fully

but idk

[steel marsh]

maybe internet drama and para social relationships aren't worth it considering we have bigger problems now.

Remember when Trump tried to force tiktok to sell to Oracle and Microsoft

[willow trellis]

why would he buy tiktok when twitter videos can already do what tiktok does

[sudden gazelle]

he could buy tiktok, and add it to the "everything app"

[willow trellis]

just open your phone, find a video on twitter, and keep scrolling

you'll see that it works like tiktok

[steel marsh]

i would like to see musk defenders talk their way out of what he did.

[willow trellis]

twitter is his tiktok competitor

[sudden gazelle]

you mean the salute he did?

i am a proud owner of an oled now

[obsidian oracle]

yaay, is it 1440p 480hz?

[rustic tundra]

4k 240

[obsidian oracle]

ah well, that works too

[rustic tundra]

1080 480

[obsidian oracle]

assuming u get atleast 2060, u should be fine with it on dlss

[rustic tundra]

[obsidian oracle]

ah so dual thingy, cool cool

[obsidian oracle]

so not L oled, thats a plus ig

[rustic tundra]

i use the cable that was in the box

[obsidian oracle]

does it deliver 4k 240hz?

[rustic tundra]

with dsr it sure does

[obsidian oracle]

[rustic tundra]

and oh my god that shit is cool

[obsidian oracle]

u mean dsc?

whats the size of it

[rustic tundra]

just look it up 32gs95uv

tbh, they are both businesses, the fact that they do shows on youtube and are media personalities is irrelevant.. this should have all been dealt with through their lawyers behind closed doors

[obsidian oracle]

thats nice, i prefer 27" and even that feels too big but 32 shouldnt be too big if u place it far enough

[rustic tundra]

true i also prefer 27 inchers

my previous one was 27 4k

now i use it as secondary

[harsh quartz]

Honestly nah, the first time ltt needed to be called out, but some more professionalism from gn would’ve been nice to see, since they are both media companies

[obsidian oracle]

nice, what hz was it

[rustic tundra]

144

[obsidian oracle]

oh it will be a sweeet sweet secondary

[manic torrent]

jesus 27 feels tiny to me

[obsidian oracle]

how often did u hit that on games?

[rustic tundra]

in few games always

minecraft looks insane at 240hz

[obsidian oracle]

i switched to 27" from a 13 years old 768p casper monitor, let me not like huge 27"

[obsidian oracle]

and on oled too, the responsiveness just increases so much

[harsh quartz]

27” isn’t too bad, I would’ve liked 32” for this setup but didn’t want to run 4k

[fossil frost]

i mean with how its all escalated into a playground fight.. if linus feels like GN and steve are using their business to unfairly harm LMG... then thats what the courts are for

[rustic tundra]

my first impressions are oh my god that shit is awesome

IT EVEN HAS SPEAKERS

[obsidian oracle]

lol

my 80$ one has too, chill 😂

[rustic tundra]

my desk can be clean now

[harsh quartz]

Courts are ridiculous and unnecessary lawsuits are dumb

[manic torrent]

oh wow that setup is giving me claustrophobia. Also ... a full desk phone? in 2025?

[fossil frost]

doesnt need to go that far.. but professional bussinesses, need to act like professional businesses, and not like children in school

[manic torrent]

The vast majority of this sort of shit is sorted out without courts.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah I don’t have a whole lot of room, and yeah I have to have the desk phone, soft phone doesn’t have full functionality for our on call hours (which is antiquated as fuck but it’s not my decision)

[manic torrent]

ouch. I would also move the PC, but hey, whatever floats your goat

[harsh quartz]

I like the PC where’s it at. If I put it on the ground I’d have to get a plank or something to keep it off the carpet and I just cba, also it’d be exhausting under my bed, and my vent is under there so I don’t want that heat roasting me like an air fryer

[lone quarry]

[vapid smelt]

Strange size of tv

[lone quarry]

OH XD

I thought you meant the weight of the package

Its 55in

Its the Telly like the free TV that has the like bottom screen that shows you ads to pay for it

[vapid smelt]

Ew ads

[lone quarry]

Yeah its only on the bottom screen and its a free TV so I mean I can't like bitch about it, and then it has like widgets that are like semi useful

[earnest cedar]

bro is in the R O U T I N G R E A L M

[vapid smelt]

Is it even OLED or mini led?

[swift mountain]

Anyone uses / used pokit devices?

[lone quarry]

I think it might be Oled doesn't say for sure but here be the specs for it and what it looks like (I don't have mine yet this is a picture of somebody else's)

Correction its an LCD but again its free 55in 4K HDR and HDR10+ TV so I mean can't really bitch to much about that ;p;

If you do you gotta send it back or they charge you for it, thats the big * with it being free, also the camera has a privacy cover

[steady panther]

Howdy hey

[fossil frost]

ohh... its that TV that forces ads on you, constantly, all the time, even when you are watching something, it puts ads for stuff on screen

[vapid smelt]

Seems just to be a plain Jane LCD tv

[fossil frost]

thats why its "free"... you are constantly barraged with ads

[lone quarry]

Well barraged but primarily its only on that bottom screen so not really a big deal to me lol

I'm aware of what they mean by free lol

I signed up for this thing a year ago lol

[fossil frost]

it gathers and sells all your viewing habbits too

[lone quarry]

I already use Facebook and have another SmartTV in my house lol

Like its no better then those things lol

[vapid smelt]

And it has a camera

[fossil frost]

and multiple microphones

[lone quarry]

Yeah that has a privacy slider, that is really only used for like video calls and the handful of games they have that use it? Which is a choice lol

[vapid smelt]

I use my TV in my bedroom so that's an instant no for me

[lone quarry]

This one is going in my office

[fossil frost]

tbh, for me, camera built into the tv in the bedroom would mean 1 less device and less clutter in there 😄

my 9yo has a projector in his bedroom 😄

[hybrid echo]

For what purposes lol

[vapid smelt]

Better than a ad tv imo

[fossil frost]

watching youtube 😄

[lone quarry]

Yes but I do not currently have 86.00 lol

[hybrid echo]

But doesn't make sense to get a tv Instade, or the fact that it didn't take much space is the trade off for using it in the dark

Pretty much the way the sign up process works is you fill out a survey, you download an app, which i already do the survey thing occasionally with Google Opinion Rewards so they know what stuff interests you, you agree to their TOS that basically you'll have it on the wifi/ethernet in your house, and you can keep ads running the bottom screen, and I've heard it can like play ads if its sitting idol which again don't really care if it does that while I'm not watching it, a few people have mentioned casting to it or using it as a 3rd monitor, which is tempting, or I have this SFF PC I use for like running a minecraft server and stuff off of, now of course the asterisk of stuff is its free because they're selling you ads pretty much, and then if you break their TOS which is the big asterisk but they're very loud about how things work, then you either send it back within whatever their time frame is or they charge you I've heard its like 500.00 and then I've heard 1000.00 if you don't return it, but why I wouldn't return it if I had to idk lol

[manic torrent]

I love the irony of snake oil, because ACTUAL snake oil works, but it has to be based on .... the right snake (i.e. a chinese water snake IIRC).
Americans saw the chinese doing this and were all like "I can make fuckin snake oil!" so they did... but it did fuckall because it was different snakes.

This was because there were many chinese imported to work on the railroad

[dusty dove]

Just because they work on a railroad doesn't mean they're also selling snake oil

[manic torrent]

They were not selling the snake oil.

[dusty dove]

Or import it

[fossil frost]

that reminds me of the dollop podcast episode they did on penguin oil... about a hour and a half of comedy about how millions of penguins were massacred for oil.. and how 1 guy came up with an industrial process where you just fed penguins into a machine and oil came out (it doesnt sound like it should be funny, but it is... the dollop, episode 207)

[manic torrent]

No, they were using it.

[dusty dove]

But I thought snake oil doesn't do anything, like placebo effect

[fossil frost]

did you use it to oil your snake?

[dusty dove]

Nope

[fossil frost]

then you used it wrong

[manic torrent]

No, you literally missed the ENTIRE point of my story, that snake oil ACTUALLY works if you make it right.

[dusty dove]

Has to be from the right snake yes

But that doesn't mean they're the same people who worked on the railroad

[manic torrent]

but it has come to mean spurious shit, because americans copied the chinese

[manic torrent]

it's the origin of snake oil.

I'm giving you a free history lesson, and you are just apparently choosing to be ignorant?

[dusty dove]

I thought it was Chinese bringing from China

Thay doesn't mean it's the same group of Chinese who work on the railroad

[manic torrent]

It literally was chinese people bringing chinese snakes who worked on the railraods.

[fossil frost]

americans saw the chinese making actual oil, from actual snakes... they copied it, with the wrong snakes, which is where the phrase "snake oil" meaning some sort of bullshit that doesnt work, comes from... because the americans copied something wrong

[manic torrent]

This is a matter of simple historical fact.....

[dusty dove]

Yes I heard of snake oil and Chinese

But it doesn't directly state it is those people who work on the railroad

U know there was Chinese people at that time in USA who didn't work on the railroad

Could be other Chinese ppl

Who bought the snake over but they don't work for the railroad

[manic torrent]

... except it wasn't.

[dapper ledge]

hello i am new and im under the water

[fossil frost]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil "Chinese railway laborers"

[manic torrent]

why are people who are ignorant and wrong so insistent and loud. Then silent.

[covert cradle]

There's not exactly evidence that works, just that it would contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which if ingested could have mild anti-inflammatory properties in the long term. Chinese snake oil is rubbed on the skin...

[fossil frost]

if you dont trust wikipedia... the smithsonian says the same thing... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/how-snake-oil-became-a-symbol-of-fraud-and-deception-180985300/ "Actual snake oil in the 1800s came from Chinese water snakes, and Chinese laborers who immigrated to the U.S. shared it with fellow workers as they helped build the transcontinental railroad"

[fossil frost]

we are not on about whether it works or not, we are on about the origin of the phrase

[vital oak]

who doesn’t trust wikipedia

[fossil frost]

stupid people

[manic torrent]

I mean, how well it works is relative, but it does "work".

[dusty dove]

Im right here Bob. I'm not going anywhere

I simply said "there could be snake oil from non railroad worker, not all Chinese in USA at that time work on railway'

[covert cradle]

I responded to the message explicitly claiming it works in CAPS

[bitter harbor]

Teachers when you need to cite something. Also elongated muskrat

[manic torrent]

... over and over again, despite there being evidence that it wasn't the case at all, and me clearly saying it.

[dusty dove]

It doesn't mean all of it, could be some oil did come from railway worker

... if you ignore recorded history and make things up sure. People could have ridden dinosaurs! You don't know what happened in the past! You weren't there!

[dusty dove]

@fossil frost @manic torrent thanks for the link. For me Chinese oil has always been regards to fraud

Im not ignoring history or thr fact railroad worker bought it over

I only said , there could be other Chinese people at the time who are immigrants bought it over and they're not railroad workers

[manic torrent]

no, that wasn't what you "only said".

[vital oak]

i’m sure it’ll still cook food

[dusty dove]

Idk how hard that is to understand

It's possible to be an immigrants at the time and not work on railroad and could bought over snake oil

[fossil frost]

and all im saying is that a peer reviewed research journal, wikipedia, and the organisation whos entire existance is to curate history... says it was railway workers

[dusty dove]

U always going off the cliff what i say

[dusty dove]

Ya but that mean all Chinese population were in that same situation as a railway worker

[manic torrent]

Is it possible you were dropped on your head as a child?

[dusty dove]

I could been,idk

Am I allow to ask the same question back?

[covert cradle]

I mean, some of the snake oil salesmen said it was native American derived. Even though there are snake derived medicines in some native American tribes, considering that particular claim came from the salesmen... well... lmao

[manic torrent]

I would find it amusing, given your lack of ability to parse and understand basic concepts.

[bitter harbor]

Here is an idea: there was a massive demand for railway workers all of a sudden and people immigrated in mass for a good job at the time

[manic torrent]

It was a shit job, but yeah

[dusty dove]

Ya but he's saying all snake oil came from Chinese railway worker at the time

I said, there could be Chinese ppl in USA at the time who didn't work on the railroad and also bought in snake oil

And he went off the rails

[manic torrent]

No, I'm saying the term snake oil originates with chinese railway workers who were observed by americans who incorrectly copied what they were doing, thus producing "snake oil" which was ineffective.

[dusty dove]

I understand and can read English. Thank you for verifying that with me

[manic torrent]

Which is a matter of recorded fact.

[bitter harbor]

You China is west of the US right? And America was growing from the EAST. Right!?

[manic torrent]

orly? You completely failed to understand what I said originally

[bitter harbor]

Therefore, there was next to no Chinese immigrants before this time. I am just using elementary logic here.

[dusty dove]

I like how u only included my comment and not the whole story

Literally said right before is that "they were not selling the snake oil" is why I respond with

It doesn't do anything it's placebo

It's like why are they selling it if nothing happens is why I answer that

[winged spire]

James does NOT understand snow

[manic torrent]

.. yes, that doesn't make it better, you fundamentally did not understand the core concept.

[dusty dove]

Concept is the correct fish was used so Chinese ppl used it

But USA people copy them with whatever fish so it doesn't do anything

Anything else u want to add

[manic torrent]

Ah, the snake fish.

[bitter harbor]

My head hurts reading this. I’ll just focus on the cat interacting with snow while I try to figure out when to bike in 50F weather in the rain

[halcyon crane]

who knows alot abt pc's

[winged spire]

Go fast

[dusty dove]

Ya it's know history that railroad did a big bump in Chinese immigrant

But not every Chinese immigrant were rail workers

I'm saying those people could of bought over snake oil . Not necessarily had to be worker themselves

[dusty dove]

Ya u do that

Relax ur brain

[bitter harbor]

Only makes the wind chill worse which sucks

[dusty dove]

Correct snake not fish

[winged spire]

Yeah but your muscles gonna heat up 💪

[manic torrent]

So what you're saying is that all these people who have studied history and documented it could be wrong, and it's actually you, some rando on discord, who could in fact be the holder of the historical truth of snake oil.

[dusty dove]

When did i day that

Don't put words in my mouth

[winged spire]

He likes doing that

[dusty dove]

Did i say all snake oil came from rail worker 100%

Because u implying I'm saying all 100% snake oil are from non rail worker

Which is not what I said

[dusty dove]

He's a piece of work

But I got time to kill in the office lol

[bitter harbor]

Not as much as my hands will get cold.

[winged spire]

Gloves!

If I ever buy that motorcycle I was looking at I’m definitely making heated grips

Someone should make bike ones

[bitter harbor]

Tell that to the office of planning and design part of my brain.

[winged spire]

There’s only 1 company in the world making a good heated motorcycle grip

It’s very annoying

It’s not hard to make a heated grip that’s also still grippy

[winged spire]

lol

[dusty dove]

What about these

[bitter harbor]

It is currently responsible for putting me in a T-shirt and shorts

[winged spire]

Too disposable

[manic torrent]

If it's not hard, why is there only one company that does it?

[winged spire]

I’ve seen bob’s “engineering” skills lol I’m not taking his uninformed bait

[dusty dove]

U can wrap one of those rechargeable ones inside

[winged spire]

That’s basically what the grips are

[dusty dove]

Looks like that's a way cheaper solution than buying official stuff

[winged spire]

I’ll probably just end up DIYing them

[dusty dove]

Before u know it, it will be March and return of sun

Hot as fk

[winged spire]

Eh on motorcycles the wind chill always makes your hands cold

[deep pier]

Yea but that is manageable

[manic torrent]

let me know when you design a crane, kthx

[winged spire]

lmao

“Crane” hahaha cute

[dusty dove]

It works till it gets into mid 90s

Then the air blowing in ur face is hot and making it worst

[manic torrent]

yes, crane.

[deep pier]

This is when you need the invention of heated gloves

[winged spire]

I wear a helmet

[dusty dove]

They make those already

I think he wants one special for motor

Motorcycle

[dusty dove]

Great for winter

Swamp ass in summer I bet

[winged spire]

Yeah a bunch of companies do heated grips like a heated car steering wheel

Only one company actually keeps them grippy so I’ll probably just DIY them

[deep pier]

IK. It was not a "invent it" it is a "go get it" probably phrased a little badly tbh

[bitter harbor]

I would like for you to design a sub to take billionaires down to see the titanic, preferably with an increased passenger capacity than prior ideas.

[winged spire]

Hopefully he’ll be the driver on board too lmao

[dusty dove]

Is there anyway to buy the grip part like the material

So u can wrap it around ur hand like that Pic but put whatever hand warmer inside

[bitter harbor]

Bonus points if I can control it remotely

[winged spire]

Yeah you can just buy bare rubber grips

[dusty dove]

He'll just buy motorcycle glove couple sizes above

So u have room to stick a hand warmer in

[manic torrent]

so please, tell me, in which way is my crane not a crane?

[winged spire]

I think he’s sad about his “crane” lol

[dusty dove]

I guess that's the cheap way

[winged spire]

Cute

[winged spire]

Not worth making my own rubber bits.. I can add the heating elements myself

[dusty dove]

How long u expect it to last

[pearl dawn]

Damn it

[dusty dove]

If u do buy 1

[winged spire]

lol I thought this was a drone with some lollipop antennas

[pearl dawn]

The nearest guitar center is like 45 minutes away

And I need all new heads the ones I have are all stock

Codeword for shit

[dusty dove]

Order online

[pearl dawn]

That's true

Idk what I want tho I'd rather talk to a human

[dusty dove]

That usually means ur social bar is low

[winged spire]

Sweetwater always treated me well

[dusty dove]

Like the sims

[winged spire]

They got great support

[pearl dawn]

I got all the from Sweetwater

[winged spire]

Real human support

[winged spire]

Nice

[pearl dawn]

Great point I failed to consider that

[pearl dawn]

What do you play

[winged spire]

Bass

[pearl dawn]

Nice

[winged spire]

I’m a basic bitch lol

[pearl dawn]

Bass is so fun I love it so much

[winged spire]

5 string bass

[pearl dawn]

5 string is based

Bassed

[winged spire]

I kinda wanna get one of those crazy 11 string bass but I know I’d just never end up using them all

[pearl dawn]

I saw a 7 string one once irl

[winged spire]

https://youtube.com/shorts/yDTFlObNbLw?si=gF_mduHetVKL_LCc

lol 17 string

He only uses like the bottom 2 though

[pearl dawn]

That's crazy

[winged spire]

That’s definitely what I’d do

[dusty dove]

Gotta start somewhere

[pearl dawn]

The guitarist from cheap trick I saw use a 5 neck guitar

[bitter harbor]

Alright. No better time than the present to get through the rain

[pearl dawn]

[winged spire]

5 necks ?? Bruh

[pearl dawn]

Yea I saw them in the 6th grade

With Def Leppard and Journey

[hoary helm]

hi

[pearl dawn]

Hi

[sterile garnet]

Lets go! Ross is free

[winged spire]

That’s insnae

Time to download tor again lmao

[fringe jetty]

Hey guys, idk if anyone is from the UK and knows Curry’s but long story short, I have a £700 voucher that’s about to expire. I basically need to spend it asap. But there’s nothing I like need so I have no idea what to buy

[winged spire]

Yall heard about how he got caught ?

[sterile garnet]

Being distracted in a library

[winged spire]

2 cops faked an argument to distract him long enough for another cop to grab the laptop

All he had to do was unplug it as there was no battery and it would lock up again

[sterile garnet]

Yeah thats why the opsec recommendation is a USB lanyard that kills on unplug now

[winged spire]

Opsec is “don’t leave your highly sensitive laptop open and unattended when you’re distracted in public” lol

[sterile garnet]

Well at the time you obviously aren't thinking its a distraction

[bitter harbor]

I made it. And I would not want to do that again.

But I know I will mess up and do it again in the future

[winged spire]

He was distracted though

Either way, when i leave all evidence of my crimes on an open laptop id make sure to close it out before i get distracted with something t

[sterile garnet]

@dusty dove kinda, just less lethal lol

[dusty dove]

That's kinda smart

But if u are in the bathroom or get separated from the laptop

That USB kill stick not gonna do u jack

[sterile garnet]

Well its supposed to be on your wrist or something, so that you cant physically leave it unlocked or walk away

[dusty dove]

If i were the guy, I would had it handcuff to me

[winged spire]

That too

[patent violet]

At NASA they have these. The second you pull your Smart Card, it shuts down

and its really funny to see how that causes problems

[sterile garnet]

Makes sense though

[patent violet]

For example, one of my co workers who worked there had a meeting with his boss who left something in his car

[sterile garnet]

random person tried to plug in phone and deletes whole computer

[patent violet]

So he had a choice... he decided to leave the card in and have my coworker hold the door open because he needed the card to get in

it set off a bunch of alarms lol and the boss made it back 2 seconds before it sounded for security

Otherwise he wouldve had to shut his PC down, come back turn it on, etc etc etc

[sterile garnet]

Imagine like the nuke launching panel where you need 2 to turn it on (titan missle key)

[patent violet]

which was a problem because he was the meeting host

so that meant killing the meeting

[patent violet]

FUCK I NEED TO PEE -> runs to bathroom -> alarm sounds -> 40 seconds to boot back up
"Come on come on come on, i need to nuke some ruskies before they get to me"

slamming on the enter button

Other guy: "You shouldve held it"

[sterile garnet]

Rm -rf russia

[patent violet]

sudo apt remove region-ru

It kinda blows me away they actually have true dual/tri redundancy with those systems. Having redundancy for absolutely everything including the interlocks and failover switches is really hard to design without inherent design conflicts

[manic torrent]

.... You don't understand how this works, clearly

[dusty dove]

What u on about now

[manic torrent]

The entire point is that data on the laptop is either a) ephemeral and destroyed on lock or logout, which happens when the USB is removed, or b) is encrypted, which locks when the USB is removed
Or C) some combination of the two.

Therefore, the laptop is worthless if it isn't unlocked and currently in use.

[winged spire]

I think we should just go back to microdots and carrier pigeons 😈

[dusty dove]

This guy got distracted by two cops pretending to fight against each other

Whose to say he didn't get up and pee at one point in his life in a public setting and didn't bring the laptop with him

[manic torrent]

Once again you fail to understand the core concept

[winged spire]

He didn’t have a kill stick btw bud

[manic torrent]

No, I am explaining the concept

[dusty dove]

I understand I'm in a chat room in a text box and I'm typing

[winged spire]

He should have just unplugged his laptop

He must have gotten complacent

Complacency is the #1 global security threat

[dusty dove]

This guy must have have money

He could easily hire some bodyguard or discreet ones

[manic torrent]

Your opsec sucks.

• classic proverb

[winged spire]

Realistically he shouldn’t have brought his laptop to a public library lmao

[dusty dove]

Ding ding ding

I would never take my nano x to public

Some people even make it as a necklace to wear . How stupid

[winged spire]

That a crypto ledger?

[dusty dove]

Ya stores all types

[winged spire]

The amount of people that would just hand them to us in geeksquad was astounding

Bestbuy tech support

[dusty dove]

U mean laptop or nano x

[winged spire]

Nano X and the other one

We sold a lot of them

[dusty dove]

Why would they hand that to u

It's their wallet

[winged spire]

Stupidity

[dusty dove]

It's called the ledger

[dusty dove]

They're smart enough to buy a wallet
But tok dumb to keep it secure

[winged spire]

That’s a lot of opsec

[dusty dove]

There's absolutely no reason to give someone ur ledger unless u wanna give them.money

But u need the 12 phrase code to unlocknit

[winged spire]

Old people would regularly give me the notebook containing literally every one of their passeords

I could have cleaned out their entire life savings

[dusty dove]

The stupid ones take q picture of their 12 word pass code

Smart one writes them down physically and never take a pic

[dusty dove]

+1 morals for u

[winged spire]

Old people are way too trusting for the hiring practices of bestbuy lmao

2 of my coworkers got fired for shooting H in the break room on the clock

[dusty dove]

Whoa i thought those only happen in kitchens and other min wage job

Not at a retail store

[winged spire]

Yeah idk

They also did it in the break room lmao

That’s a bathroom stall activity 😭😭😭

[ember cargo]

NAHHH

[dusty dove]

Ya that's dumb of them to do it in camera sight

Survival the fitness

I'm sure there's people in high paying position using that stuff too

[winged spire]

No cameras in the break room

They just shouldn’t be dealing with needles in an open public room like that lol

Bathroom stall activity

[minor sage]

Anyone know how to use one set of kb and mouse for windows and mac?

[minor sage]

[lime moat]

Hi guys, I want to add a second SSD on my motherboard but all I have is a 4.0 drive. The only other slot I have open is a 3.0. Is that like, a major issue? Or will it just reach a certain cap. Or is it just not compatible period?

[sage quiver]

[frank gulch]

those of you who have a 75% keyboard, which keys do you use for next/previous media? the aula f75 i have doesnt have those keys. also doesnt have play pause. what do yall reccomend?

[sage quiver]

#peripherals would be a great place to ask

[main dune]

is there a particular channel to ask for questions/help?

[hot tartan]

#1027757333117415424 probably

[main dune]

its a question about a issue with xbox controller on pc. can i ask it there?

[hot tartan]

What is the issue

[daring tide]

@full fossil its just a bit overkill to pay 20k dollars for one computer (thats more than what people would pay for rendering rigs) when you could be investing that into your business

[dusty dove]

trust fund baby 😎

[daring tide]

he's spending 20k dollars for minecraft lol

[full fossil]

@vapid zephyr can i send 1 more shitpost

please 🙏

[daring tide]

if you have a 240hz monitor, you will not be able to notice anything higher than 240fps

[full fossil]

nvm imma do it anyways

[daring tide]

same with 60hz

[dusty dove]

if he doesnt spend it on minecraft, what are the chances he's gonna spend it on loot boxes or eve online

[full fossil]

DMAN

[daring tide]

damn

[full fossil]

😔

[vapid zephyr]

If you want to get reported, sure
It's a rule here not to shitpost

[full fossil]

embed links dont work here 😔

[vapid zephyr]

[daring tide]

i think you should invest the money into your business, unless you need a 20k dollar computer for rendering animations and stuff

if you want a top tier gaming pc you wont need to spend more than 5k dollars to get what you want

thats all

[full fossil]

i already have enough for my buisness atm

[daring tide]

alr than buy whatever you want

[full fossil]

have 250k in my account atm

prolly less

idk
