[wanton silo]

But I already have a steam deck 😩

[winged spire]

I’m gonna make it in time for rollout maybe

[jaunty compass]

It's a very interesting piece of Hardware, but I wouldn't call it practical

Mostly for more technical reasons

[wanton silo]

It’s crazy that the switch is way less powerful than the steam deck

[unreal goblet]

true

[jaunty compass]

How is that crazy

[wanton silo]

It’s sad

[jaunty compass]

The switch is using mobile hardware from 2015

Even when the switch was new, the chip was already 2 years old and they underclocked it

[willow bramble]

It's 8 years old

[unreal goblet]

cough cough 4K gaming on a laptop igpu cough cough

[wanton silo]

Watch the switch 2 be just as bad

[jaunty compass]

What?

[jaunty compass]

The pimax portal runs a mobile snapdragon chip

It's an Android device

[unreal goblet]

ah lmao

[jaunty compass]

You don't even know what you're talking about

[unreal goblet]

whops, my bad 😭

[jaunty compass]

It's impractical because they designed this thing to be a VR hybrid console and then never released the VR portion

[willow bramble]

For the switch, it's the software that drives sale

Not the hardware

[jaunty compass]

So it has five cameras on the back and these magnetically detaching controllers that were supposed to go in a VR add-on

And because it was designed for VR, they had a high resolution high refresh rate screen because you were supposed to be able to pair it with a PC

The choices they made did make sense in the context they made them in but then they never finished the VR half of the device

Specifically the software

All of the hardware did come out and you could buy this thing with a VR headset addon and it is real 6dof VR

But almost no software ever released on it and I don't think you could ever pair it to a PC for VR properly

[willow bramble]

Was there meant to be a headset mould to go with it Google cardboard style?

[jaunty compass]

Sorta yeah

[willow bramble]

Or Samsung Gear

[jaunty compass]

And there were controller attachments to make proper six Dof controllers that you just put the magnetic ones in and they pair with the shell

It was a real VR headset, the tablet used the same chip as the quest 2 and everything

And it had all of the hardware to do real VR

They just never finished the software

[willow bramble]

Wild

[jaunty compass]

Because nobody bought it, because they never finished the software

It should have launched with the ability to use virtual desktop or their proprietary software to play Steam VR games

If it could do that, I think it would have sold way better

As it stands, it's just an Android emulation handheld with a really nice screen

Support has been dead for a while officially and they are never coming back to it

[buoyant bramble]

how I can install Kazam on Fedora 41

damn wtf i started playing god of war and my gpu temp went from a normal 62 in cs gta 5 and so on to 68 70 damn

[viscid elm]

just make sure to give him the warranty thingy for the nvme

its QLC aka very well known to die quick

also the performance is not great

[fierce moth]

hmmmmm trying to decide which ap im gonna upgrade to

either the ubiquiti u6 enterprise or the u7 pro max

im currently on a u6+ and i dont get very good signal at the end of my house

[fickle herald]

[winged gust]

any1 know if a r7 7800x3d is compatible with a b550

[winged spire]

I’m here finally

They painted over the mural 😭

[full iron]

will do, i do door to door for more expensive builds and tend to leave the packaging and warranty with the client

im used one of my leftover ones on my aio homeserver💀 im praying everyday it doesnt die

ROLLOUT

[unreal sluice]

are you a summer intern?

[echo sluice]

seeing that much flat land amazes me

[winged spire]

Allow me to introduce you to: beach lol

[echo sluice]

everything here is hilly / mountainous

[tame notch]

why are the screwdrivers so pricy 😭

[viscid elm]

its not

[crude vortex]

oh hmmm

[austere shale]

It’s so stupid how expensive mattresses are, like great I spent $800 and now I still need to buy a TV and a TV stand for my bedroom so I can actually sleep in there, let alone a bed frame because yk I’m rocking mattress on the floor right now

[winged spire]

And she’s gone

[echo sluice]

buy a set

[austere shale]

I’d love a spent heat tile off one of those things, would be such a cool souvenir

Add it to my collection of oddities

[winged spire]

They should absolutely sell the scrapped ones

100$ a pop for a full tile times like 40,000 tiles

[austere shale]

I’d buy one in a heartbeat, I assume you can’t really refurbish them. Probably would cost as much if not more than just making a brand new one

[winged spire]

They’re reusable

[austere shale]

But only to a point I assume

[winged spire]

That’s the whole point of starship lol

[austere shale]

Like after a few uses I’d assume they aren’t in tolerance anymore

[winged spire]

Launch land stack refuel launch

[winged spire]

That’s the entire point of starship, to be completely rapidly reusable

Same day launches back to back

[austere shale]

Given I’m talking out of my ass but common knowledge is that heating things up thousands of degrees and cooling them over and over and over again means they can’t last FOREVER

[winged spire]

SpaceX trebuchet

[austere shale]

Me too spacex

[restive lion]

A tv does not feel necessary for sleeping

[austere shale]

I guess people just find them when they fall off, but fuck paying $1000 for a tile, if it were like $100 and that big

[winged spire]

Yeah way over priced

There’s a fuck Ton after last launch’s explosion though

[austere shale]

I like the noise, I’ll probably just buy some Walmart ONN brand Roku tv, I saw a 65 inch for $300 so I’ll probably just do that

[austere shale]

Imagine they just gather scraps and put them in mason jars to sell

[winged spire]

I would be willing to bet it had a noticeable impact in the Turks and Caicos economies

[raven grove]

Good news for once, im at microcenter and i overheard them talking about 9070 and 9070xt stock. Sounds like they have a crazy stockpile of the cards

[echo sluice]

[raven grove]

More than they have ever had before

No word about price in the US but stock will definitely not be an problem

Also interesting, they said the spreadsheet about 5090 stock was not accurate, the sheet said they had 10 but they only had 5 5090s.

[gilded quest]

Crazy stockpile of demand tho

[raven grove]

Well they should be able to deliver

[winged spire]

Stack that boy 🔥🔥🔥

[crude vortex]

damn

[crude vortex]

thats smaller than an avg pp

[woeful quarry]

buying a 2023 ASUS Zephyrus G16 right now that comes with 16 GB of DDR4 3200 soldered to the MB. It has a SODIMM slot open to expand memory so I was looking at adding a 32GB Corsair Vengence DDR4 stick @ 3200. I assume dual channel is out of the question with the soldered memory, but anyone know of pros and cons to expanding with a mismatched stick of RAM, and if there is anything besides DDR4 and 3200 that I need to look for when seleting RAM?

Hi everyone!

[winged spire]

SpaceX just committed another crime

They started booster rollout at 9:59:30, the time they were allowed starts at 10

They gonna get a fine fr

[deep bobcat]

dude whats elijah talking bout rn

[edgy sun]

Bro i misread that as 5090xt somehow. Was gonna trip if amd had shortage

Why does amd not have shortage tbh

I mean anyone considered maybe insider trading? If you cant buy nvidia, you buy amd. If you buy neither, like ms word wont run n sht

Tbh os maybe.

No intel integrated graphics to the rescue. It doesnt bsod usually when i run non-3d sht

Anybody have ideas for best bang for your buck pc around $1000? Kiddo just spilled tea on mine 😭 so I’ll be spending the next few months trying to get a reasonable build together

But you could easily get more than a grand for the kid

[regal peak]

are u ugys buying the 9070?

[gilded quest]

No

9070 is a bad price

[opaque thorn]

I need help with remote desktop. I have a server PC that I'd like to remote into instead of using another monitor. Problem is, I can't remote into it, as it keeps giving me "this logon attempt failed" even though I know for a fact I have the correct login. And trying to remote into my main from the server doesn't work either, same deal. My main uses my MS account, while the server uses a local account.

[gilded quest]

9070xt is much more enticing at a theoretical only $50 more

[boreal cypress]

Turned off my PC to install an SSD. Turns out, the system started updating before it turned off. I unplugged it, put in the SSD and tried to turn it back on.

Essentially, I botched the update, which then went on to fry the drive

[tiny halo]

Fry the drive, did I hear correctly?

[boreal cypress]

Yes

I re-installed Windows on a different drive (with every other drive unplugged, to ensure nothing would be formatted) and plugged in the remaining drives

Plug in every other drive? Thing works great

Plug in the old C: drive, and the system doesn't even notice it's presence

Tried data recovery software to recognize the drive; it saw the raw drive, but could find no data

[tiny halo]

Format it

Well your data is probably irrecoverable

[boreal cypress]

Yeah

[tiny halo]

The drive works right

[boreal cypress]

Maybe?

I know each time I've tried to plug the thing in it's crashed my computer XD

But I can try to format it XD

Welp, I can't format it

Since I can't initalize it

[civic fox]

you can try and put gparted iso on a usb stick with ventoy and try formatting it that way

[boreal cypress]

Anyone know how to take the motherboard of a dell 8200

[long briar]

dell 8200 is about as specific as "honda car"

[fossil frost]

i would still probably answer it with "some custom propitiatory crap from dell"

[long briar]

no this would've been like 2004

should be fairly standard for its time

assuming desktop

[fossil frost]

ok... "some OLD custom propitiatory crap from dell"

[next pollen]

Right

[long briar]

what the balls

what is that layout lmaoooo

[next pollen]

I have been wrestling with it for an hour now

[long briar]

by the looks of it just pull up

[fossil frost]

for their slim desktops, that sit flat, they have a sort of clamshell design on the case... i used to hate having to do anything with them, because they snap shut like a fucking crocodile

[next pollen]

I dont wanna break any of these plastics

[long briar]

that thing is equivalent to an 86 year old person

you're gonna break something even if you're careful

[next pollen]

Its from 2002

[long briar]

exactly

it's old enough to have a masters degree lmao

[next pollen]

Its older than me lmao

[fossil frost]

there is newer stuff in computer museums

[next pollen]

I wanna reuse the case

[long briar]

bruh

[fossil frost]

cant, custom to this board/system

[next pollen]

And display the motherboard on my shelves like the other motherboards i have

[long briar]

this says no

[next pollen]

And i have a dremel

I will make stuff fit

Also the motherboard i have is a mini itx

Cost me 25 buks

[long briar]

wait... does the entire motherboard tray come out with the tab?

[fossil frost]

feel free to ruin the case, old motherboard, and new motherboard

[long briar]

push this and slide the entire thing out

[rare smelt]

Missing the psu so gonna atx mod

[next pollen]

Tried that

[fossil frost]

yes, and you can rip a load of connectors off if you are not careful

[fossil frost]

there are more than 1

[long briar]

eh it's from 2002 who cares

[next pollen]

Everything is disconnected

[next pollen]

I care, i plan to use it to conserve my dvds and floppy disks

[long briar]

push these down and slide it down?

these old cases are always like this some way or another

[next pollen]

They are flat against the back

I was thinking maybe if i remove the dell logo on the back, but it aint giving in

[fossil frost]

twist it

[next pollen]

It dont twist

[long briar]

pull it

[fossil frost]

bop it

[next pollen]

Neither delete fortnite and do something productive with your life

Instead a nice life skill like stealing a Kia with a USB stick could be fun

[tiny halo]

Who did that

[harsh quartz]

Go steal ducks from the local pond

[lyric sphinx]

You mean the free ducks

Fish and wildlife does not agree though

I mean I sell them to the Chinese place and get discounted peaking duck

[rare otter]

Yall think this will work?

Impossible for us to say based on a screenshot alone. If you link to the eBay listing, we'd have a better chance of answering.

Fuck you lmao

[alpine gale]

Oof. That monitor is over 10 years old, does not support VESA mounting, lacks DisplayPort input, and has a glossy screen. It's only redeeming qualities are being 1080p resolution and an IPS panel. Assuming it even works, I'd only want to use it as a monitor for a computer in my workshop or garage.
https://support.hp.com/au-en/product/product-specs/hp-pavilion-25-inch-displays/model/5304248

[rare otter]

I'm ok with that actually

[alpine gale]

I'd at least shop around. You might find better monitors on your local Craigslist for a similar ~$50 - $75 price.

[rare otter]

I'm banned from Facebook marketplace and for being "underaged"

I'm 18

[alpine gale]

That's why I suggested Craiglist. Or whatever your local buy & sell site / services are. Most know about FB Marketplace, but it's extremely hit / miss depending on a variety of factors.

[lyric sphinx]

I don't even care if it works at this point

[rare otter]

Is that local only or is it shipping too

[lyric sphinx]

You can often find free ones on Facebook

[rare otter]

Banned by Facebooks verification system tho my ID literally proves my age

[alpine gale]

[viscid elm]

I'm not even in the US

[rare otter]

Nothing in My area

[lyric sphinx]

Stop doing criminal things

[rare otter]

Didn't do any criminal thin

[alpine gale]

So uh... yeah... Facebook's "verification" and "anti-bot" systems aren't great. They fail to catch obvious scam posts, and cause legit accounts to be locked out for performing "bot-like" activity... ahem like my own account regularly receives the "hey, you're acting like a bot, please stop or we'll have to ban you" popups simply because I report 50+ scam posts / comments per week. Gee, thanks META - guess I won't help keep my local buy / sell marketplace community safe?

[lyric sphinx]

[dusky jacinth]

Soooo should the arsenal be switched to brass and wind then? Lmao.

[lyric sphinx]

Bev's Buns

[fossil frost]

but they are the best type of instrument to do it with

[patent violet]

Use wired instruments instead

I prefer the 240VAC 30A mains as my weapon of choice

[lyric sphinx]

You know how hard it is to murder someone with a flute

[manic torrent]

not hard at all

[bitter harbor]

I prefer comedically convenient grand pianos

[patent violet]

That actually seems pretty easy

[fossil frost]

would make for a good stabbing

[patent violet]

Or beating

Or suffocating or strangling

[lyric sphinx]

They are not that strong

[patent violet]

Doesn't need to be

[fossil frost]

or you could make them learn how to play it, and force them to perform to a crowd of people, so that they die of embarrassment

[dusky jacinth]

You didn't have a trombone or tuba to use instead?

[lyric sphinx]

Now I need to get on a list to see how many murders have been committed using a flute

[manic torrent]

both of those would be harder

[lyric sphinx]

They call him the floutest

[patent violet]

I've seen the text of a case where a credit card was the murder weapon

Shoved it as hard as she could into his throat at the corner.

[manic torrent]

John Wick killed a guy with a pencil.

[patent violet]

If there's a will there's a way

[fossil frost]

as did the joker

[fossil frost]

the good joker that is... not one of the shit ones

[manic torrent]

he made it disappear!

[patent violet]

I could probably kill somebody with a key if I was really really angry and at wits end

So really anything can be a murder weapon with enough adrenaline

[dense quail]

It's easy to kill someone with a key if you have to.

Put it between your knuckles, squeeze and aim for the soft parts

[fossil frost]

my old karate teacher said "when it comes down you 'its me or them'... even your keys can inflict enough damage to stop it from being you..."

[lyric sphinx]

I think my preferred murder weapon would be marshmallows

[manic torrent]

any foreign object rammed down the throat will get the job done tbh

[patent violet]

There's your answer to the marshmallows

[dusky jacinth]

I mean it depends on method and dexterity.
Technically, you can kill someone even with a book, a towel, even a coffee mug if you're capable enough.

[patent violet]

Absolute perfect timing

[lyric sphinx]

Can you kill with cringe

[manic torrent]

book and towel is ezpz, coffee mug is harder, but it would break and possibly have a very sharp edge

[fossil frost]

i would imagine that inserting either of those into the butthole, would cause enough damage to bring on death

[patent violet]

Probably to be honest. But that seems self-inflicted

[dusky jacinth]

Takes too much setup, but it's possible I bet.

[dense quail]

Coffee mugs are blunt, breakable objects, they're great weapons.

A towel can be used to choke people, a book? I mean, ya.

These are all great weapons, what about a piece of cardboard? Lmao

[patent violet]

I'm pretty sure there's quite a few office murders with ceramic mugs being used

[bitter harbor]

Only if you force them to be in the hit sequel Cats 2

[lyric sphinx]

Man public chat is just fantastic sometimes

[dense quail]

Yap, they're huge in accidentally murders in domestic cases too

[fossil frost]

and nobody will ever know my the true number

[dense quail]

Ok the ground has stopped shaking

I can sleep now.

My first earthquake ever was in Oklahoma and it came out of nowhere while I was on the laptop in bed

Suddenly there were shaking and then my pictures were all misaligned

[patent violet]

I was like "what the fuck"

[dense quail]

This is my first one ever too, I'm on Jeju island in Korea rn

[dusky jacinth]

With high dexterity and creativity, you can use a mug in defensive manner without breaking it right away.
A towel can act as a whip, so more than just choking can be accomplished.
A book actually is not just good for a projectile, but also a small melee shield and unconventional clamp to grab an opponent or their weapon if they have one with the right timing.

[patent violet]

I really didn't know what to expect so I got prepared for a larger one to come right after

I was young so all I remembered was what they taught me in school during emergency situations

[manic torrent]

again, john wick kills a dude with a book

[dense quail]

I mean tbh, I'm a pretty fit guy now and I live in a country and region where people are generally naturally smaller than me

[patent violet]

"words don't hu-"

John Wick:

[dense quail]

I'd just kill them with my bare hands I guess? Kinda cringe to say that tho lol

[fossil frost]

tbh, dont have your bosses son murder a guys dog and steal his car

[patent violet]

My dad walked in on me hiding under my bed. He told me there was a minor fault shift and we could expect nothing else

[dense quail]

Like the majority of guys who've started problems with me, generally for being white, were very malnourished and from poorer parts of the country.

They pose no real threat to the average person.

[patent violet]

I was full on expecting the house to come down

What can I say I was ready

I had everything important with me too. My laptop and my phone

There was also a fire extinguisher zip tied to the underside of my bed so I had that

[dense quail]

It's crazy seeing the people in China who got bone lengthening surgery rho

[viscid basin]

what is this

[patent violet]

I should do that again honestly

[dense quail]

It's actually kind of hilarious

[bitter harbor]

And then dont try to rope him back in on a blood contract just for extra power only to put a bounty on his head

[patent violet]

Put another fire extinguisher under my bed

[dusky jacinth]

I think what I'd attempt to do would either be a gamble on my life in most cases or would leave any assailants scared out of there minds by what I'd probably attempt to do.

[patent violet]

Of all the natural disasters though that really had me going was the one time that I had to pull over into a ditch and a tornado came across the highway I was up against

[dense quail]

Ok, um slow the roll captain cringe.

[patent violet]

The ditches in Oklahoma were deep enough that it didn't pick up my car

But I very distinctly remember standing on the highway and just watching this big ass air funnel go straight down it

It was some of the most surreal shit ever

[dusky jacinth]

Now why did you let your mind go there, dude?

[dense quail]

I dunno, I'm really tired and I have to pee

[patent violet]

We were very lucky though and only the abandoned fire station got picked up and destroyed during that

It was elevated which was stupid for something you put in tornado alley

There is also a bunch of shit from the junkyard thrown around

[dense quail]

I just laid down in bed. Generally when any natural disaster esque thing happens I just accept that I could die

No point being afraid

If I'm gonna die, then that's that I guess.

[patent violet]

When it came to tornadoes we would just stand outside

But anything else we would at least take shelter

[fossil frost]

being prepared isnt the same as being afraid

[dense quail]

Uh uh more of em

[patent violet]

Tsunami when

[dense quail]

I mean, obviously don't do anything stupid but if you've done all you can what's the point

[patent violet]

It was actually really funny being where we were because we were smack in the middle of tornado alley

But every single time a tornado would come through it would avoid everything of significance

Of all the time I was right in the center of it there was no injuries

The only injuries or deaths came from everywhere right outside of it

Wildfires from the hills though

When they told you to evacuate you evacuated

They never actually reached into town but everybody who is hiking around and didn't listen would get fucked

[bitter harbor]

Charge your phone

[dense quail]

Ah shit my hotel window broke

Ok we might actually be in trouble

Imma go sit in the lobby

[patent violet]

Tornadoes were actually kind of interesting because you could walk up against him as long as you were along the back of them

[echo sluice]

super big gulp

[patent violet]

So you could watch everything they were doing

[dense quail]

Crazy high winds right now

[patent violet]

They also ran at running speed so you could personally just run up against them

[dense quail]

I haven't slept all night, considering just staying awake at this point

[patent violet]

The second they picked up anything though you better hope that you were on the ground

That crap is coming at you at 100 mph or more

[bitter harbor]

On second thought, you probably shouldn't prioritize charging your phone if the weather is that bad

[patent violet]

This is actually a situation where you would prioritize this

Communication is key

[dense quail]

Meh, I decided I'm too tired, I put up the divider, it's just the main window that cracked

Imma go to sleep

[patent violet]

Lol

[dense quail]

People are all running down to the lobby

[echo sluice]

[dense quail]

I'd rather die in my sleep if I have to

[patent violet]

As my mom said once: if I wake up dead that's a good death.

[echo sluice]

Lmao real

[dense quail]

I'm not impartial to a roller coaster ride before I die

I would be okay with that

I just heard something new come over at the fire dispatch radio. Emergency childbirth

"oh no I'm giving birth to a child"

What a situation to be in

[dense quail]

I'd rather just...die. I don't want to know it's happening

[patent violet]

Oh cool if they call it in they tell you the gender over the radio if it happens on site

"It was a boy!!" - in a computer voice

How cute

[dense quail]

"wait wait, we don't want to know what gender the baby is"

"Aw that's so cute. Anyways, "it's" not breathing"

[patent violet]

Oh no

[dense quail]

Haha that's from family guy

Got a good chuckle out of me.

208V 30A now thats delicious 3 phase to the dome

[patent violet]

Apparently we're getting an upgrade this month to proper 240 and I'm looking forward to it

They have to come in and rewire some things but it'll be worth it. I'm going to do all those myself in my unit

208 has been pissing me off because the dryer doesn't get hot enough

And we have dual stage water heaters so when we get 240 is gonna be awesome

HVAC has to change windings on the 24VAC transformer

I already have it at the 240VAC windings because I wanted the sequencer to go slower and it still puts out 22VAC. The 24VAC transformer has been pushing 28vac so whatever on proper windings

That thing to the bottom right

Delays on time and off time for the heater

It's been going quite a bit faster than rated

But the transformer is putting out more voltage

Inside of the sequencer there is two pieces of metal that sort of bend whenever they reach a certain temperature after a certain time

That's what gives the timer

More voltage = faster

It should be 0-30 on, 45-80 off or something like that

[oak pier]

600VAC 200A is more fun

those transformers smell warm

[patent violet]

If I wanted to hook up a VFD to something like this HVAC, definitely

[crude vortex]

hii

[patent violet]

I do have a chunky step up TF in my storage unit that could do this

[crude vortex]

hmm

[oak pier]

Some of the low voltage networks i work on sit right next to this big ole cube labeled 600VAC 200A

[patent violet]

As long as they are isolated and they have insulation between them

[crude vortex]

this is the first time im seeing people talking about transformers other than in my textbooks

[oak pier]

They're wholly unrelated systems, just happen to sit near one another

it's just cool to see

[patent violet]

That's to be someone expected but do they have insulation

[oak pier]

It sits on it's own concrete pad

[patent violet]

Such as at least drywall or enclosures

[oak pier]

and has a metal cage around it

[patent violet]

Okay those are distance rated

[crude vortex]

[patent violet]

Okay well you got a Faraday cage That's actually really awesome

[oak pier]

It feels weird to even be near it

[patent violet]

They must be EMI sensitive systems

If you go so far as to put a Faraday cage that means their EMI sensitive

There's low voltage systems are probably sensitive communications for sensors or RF

[oak pier]

ethernet and DMX over category cable

It's a mixed use maintenance room where the control rack for my stuff sits

[patent violet]

Is it like chunks and chunks of cable

[onyx mountain]

🕳

[patent violet]

If it's a very long runs or you just have a ton of cabling for low voltage over any category rated capable you would typically want to surround it in some sort of Faraday cage or raceway

[hushed tulip]

Hello, peoples, let me ask you something, what if some dude crated a system capable of turning a pair of 1TB drives into up to 320 TB (20 or 40 would be more realistic for a normal system) usable real space AND give them file recovery and failure resistance capacities?

[patent violet]

DMX lighting comes off as interesting because over super long runs you can have issues

Simply because of impedance so you can use a shielding to reduce that

[oak pier]

Mhm

Most DMX cables you see are thick as hell from the shielding

Unless it's just short runs

[winged spire]

The sound of the launch tower’s chain smacking stuff in the wind is weird

[patent violet]

Are they using category cable for DMX

Or are they using the proper shielded cable

[winged spire]

Just sounds like a whip noise everywhere at once

[patent violet]

There certainly are ways to cheap out on this

[oak pier]

What's visible before they go into the walls looks like just category cable

[hushed tulip]

I'm sorry if i'm interrupting but this is not crazy talk, please reply.

[oak pier]

though i wasn't there for install, so i'm not entirely sure

[patent violet]

Then more than likely it's category cable all the way up

[oak pier]

sounds like a pipe dream

[patent violet]

That shielding is probably helping with that

If you look around the shielding you will probably find a chunky ground

Unless it's in the roof

[hushed tulip]

I know, it sounds insane but i'm dead serious

[patent violet]

Or underground

To be honest I do the DMX the same way

I just rather provide the shielding for all of the low voltage

It's really about impedance caused by interference

A well-grounded raceway will do well

Proper rated DMX cable is expensive as hell

I would just rather derate the entire enclosure

You can save thousands of dollars especially if this is some DMX lighting intended for the entire building. More so if it's a very large one

Exterior lighting even more so

[oak pier]

Just for a theater

only about 7 universes, 80-90 fixtures

[patent violet]

That sort of makes sense because there's lots of noise and interference caused by other things in theaters

Although I would think they would prefer to use isolated cable

They could also be doing something to make sure they have short ground runs

[oak pier]

It's whatever the folks who did the install decided to do

[patent violet]

Then this would mean they would terminate the cable at a junction box with a ground cable closer to the actual ground

[oak pier]

Though they were almost certainly just the lowest bidder

[patent violet]

Was this for a school

[oak pier]

mhm

[hushed tulip]

If anyone wants to know more about that "pipe dream" please contact me on a calmer channel or privately.

[manic torrent]

<@&750150305383186585>

[hot tartan]

What does “pipe dream” even mean

I know the phrase but not in this context

[manic torrent]

Have you ever dreamed of bludgeoning someone with a pipe?

[hot tartan]

A couple times

[manic torrent]

well, it's that, except instead of that, you lose all your money.

[hot tartan]

Ah man :(

[manic torrent]

It's called... lossy compression!

You just ... throw away your data

[hushed tulip]

What is this? Dude, i don't anything, i just want to share this development, as i said i'm willing to describe publically i just feel it sounds too good

I don’t want anything*

[manic torrent]

dude, you are not the first person to discover filesystem compression.

and/or de-duplication

[hushed tulip]

No, it's not that simple, and it's not compression in the way you know it

Stop thinking you're a genius

[manic torrent]

I mean, I literally work in storage.

[harsh quartz]

Cool. Package it and sell it and become a gazillionaire.

[hushed tulip]

Idc, buddy

[oak pier]

the way you turn 1tb into 320 is go on ebay and start buying refurb drives

[manic torrent]

See the problem here is that I am literally an expert.

[hushed tulip]

So be it, you haven't heard how it works

[oak pier]

so you gonna explain or what

[hushed tulip]

You're just prejudiced

[manic torrent]

yes, but thermodynamics > yuo

[harsh quartz]

Prejudiced against what? Idiots?

[manic torrent]

So the literal decades of work on storage technologies is all trumped by some dude on LTT discord

[manic torrent]

it doesn't matter how it works, because it can't work.

because if it does, your discovery fundamentally changes things we know about data and maths.

[winged spire]

When are they gonna stack the rocket 😭😭

[hushed tulip]

It's basically the ultimate RAID, a system shrinks the files by x times, keeps a recovery file and runs the decompressor from RAM, compression system this WHICH DOESN'T WORK HOW YOU'RE THINKING (for an instance it can compress any data without loss) meaning it has almost no performance drawback because the disks are set to a raid 0 configuration

Understand it, don't, believe it, don't, idc, it's coming and it will eventually be in your PC.

[manic torrent]

"shrinks files by x times" - how does that work, exactly

[harsh quartz]

And then one disk dies and everything is gone

[hushed tulip]

Not explaining, i plan on making money, not just impressing other nerds, thank you.

[winged spire]

I folded my back seats down and I’m just lying down in the back of my car

[oak pier]

lol

[harsh quartz]

Then why come in here in the first place?

[hushed tulip]

This system is protected against disk failures, i'm not explaining how

[manic torrent]

Except that NVME drives don't need raid 0 to be faster, you simply put more storage on it, they are already fast enough. That you say "raid 0" in this means you don't understand shit about fuck

[manic torrent]

You will make a grand total of $0

[hushed tulip]

Even NVME drives can be configured in a RAID 0 data distribution structure

[manic torrent]

also where is this decompressor? what bus are you using? how does the data go in and out

[hushed tulip]

In ram, not your problem, like all data

[manic torrent]

using more words to talk about raid 0 doesn't make it more complicated

[harsh quartz]

“You’re just not undemanding because you haven’t heard how it works, also I’m not going to explain to you how it works because… fuck you?”

[manic torrent]

... data doesn't magically get to ram via osmosis, it has to be put there.

[hushed tulip]

I'm explaining, just not all of it, some is what makes it it and you're not getting it

[manic torrent]

oh no, I get it

[hushed tulip]

Loaded at startup, you ok, dude?

[manic torrent]

startup of what?

[hushed tulip]

COMPUTER

[oak pier]

you loading 320tb of stuff into ram?

[manic torrent]

oh, good thing a computer has one startup process.

there certainly isn't layers of access.

[oak pier]

i need whatever dimms you have

[hushed tulip]

Sorry to forget, there's a third drive /raid 0 array which stores the decompressor/decrypter, OS, recovery files and necessary data.

Ready to load whatever has to be loaded at startup.

[manic torrent]

[oak pier]

using some magic lossless compression method that no one has ever come up with before, yet somehow you did?

[hushed tulip]

Yes

Did you just find out people can create new things???

[oak pier]

Alright buddy, back to the psych ward you go

[covert cradle]

[manic torrent]

Again, you've cracked a compression algorithm that fundamentally changes the rules of what we know about data and thermodynamics

[neon mesa]

4060 just beat 3060 by a bit

[manic torrent]

that is worth literally billions

[oak pier]

NO!

[manic torrent]

and you're out here on discord trying to explain it badly

[hushed tulip]

No violation of thermodynamics (is understandable with full details) but indeed changes the rules of data

Completely

I just want to share without losing the invention, is that too much to ask?

[manic torrent]

Is this because you tried to sell it to google and they dismissed you because it's absolutely insane?

[hushed tulip]

I invented it TODAY

[unreal goblet]

I am out of words for this vendor..

[manic torrent]

.... you invented a compression algorithm today

[hushed tulip]

Yeah...

[manic torrent]

So you have a math phd?

published any math papers?

comp sci?

[hushed tulip]

No, I'm just really, really smart

[neon mesa]

[hushed tulip]

You're gonna swallow those words, mark this mentally.

[dusky jacinth]

Just read the above idea and like... I have no idea where he's going with that compression method.

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-drink-drink-water-crazy-gif-13114871

[mint yacht]

But surely if they're so smart and have invented this brand new thing that we don't understand, explaining the method of lossless compression to us wouldn't lose them anything because none of us could replicate it

[long briar]

This guy rly just went "don't condemn me to the same laws of the universe as the rest of you I'm beyond your intelligence"

[hushed tulip]

It's obscenely simple, hidden in plain sight and if i explain it i lose it, i'm truly sorry

[long briar]

As in... a ramdisk?

or like terabytes of paged data?

[manic torrent]

and all of the people who looked at it in the previous years just missed it, even though many of them are literal geniuses and studied nothing else. You're just that smart.

[neon mesa]

i created a time machine.
can't explain, i'm too smart, law of physics don't apply to me, if i explain i lose it.

[long briar]

I'm so confused what he's about

[hushed tulip]

Yes.

I am.

[dusky jacinth]

[long briar]

wait what

[manic torrent]

No, he's claimed to have invented a massively efficient compression/decompression algorithm which will revolutionise storage, but seems to think the major application is to desktops

[covert cradle]

if it's obscenely simple, you should be able to whip up a proof of concept quickly right? Let's see it

[manic torrent]

and apparently you can remove the impact of it on speed by using raid 0 - EXCEPT - if you store data compressed, you can actually get it back extremely fast, because it's smaller on disk, so you wouldn't need raid0

[long briar]

Hello, peoples, let me ask you something, what if some dude crated a system capable of turning a pair of 1TB drives into up to 320 TB (20 or 40 would be more realistic for a normal system) usable real space AND give them file recovery and failure resistance capacities? no he claimed to... wait what kind of drives are we talking about?

[hushed tulip]

You know when people start doing something (like lets say planting seeds) but the first way they do it is not wrong but incomplete? And then every subsequent advancement is inherently flawed until someone sees the original failure?

That

[neon mesa]

indeed, the bottleneck would be the CPU decompressing it not I/O kek

[long briar]

yea we've had that here - valkrie claimed to develop a GPU without understanding anything about a GPU

2 bits of bus width for I think he claimed 98GB of vram?

[hushed tulip]

Except the system is efficient and can run compression and decompression for a 160 TB pseudodrive in a single modern core.

[manic torrent]

.. and if you were doing this, "raid" doesn't make sense at all

[long briar]

and which instruction set does it use?

[covert cradle]

how could you possibly know this without implementing it already?

[hushed tulip]

Exactly, this is above raid

The instruction set is also private, it's the core of the software.

[manic torrent]

well yes, obviously

[manic torrent]

uhhhhhhh you don't know what instruction set means

[hushed tulip]

Well, one of two or three cores

[covert cradle]

wot?

[hushed tulip]

It's custom tailored to the system

[mint yacht]

I feel as if this revelation of yours is based off of a flawed understanding of something in the chain of what a compression algorithm does

[dusky jacinth]

You lost me now.

[hushed tulip]

Nope, it's a new kind of compression

[violet saffron]

Hi.

[long briar]

Like, CRC32 verifies the integrity of a zip file and built into the SSE4.2 instruction set

[manic torrent]

did it all become clear to you after you stopped taking your meds?

[hushed tulip]

Basically the system has 3 core elements, one of them being the custom instruction set and data structure.

[manic torrent]

a custom instruction set that runs on current CPUs.....

[hushed tulip]

Yep

[dusky jacinth]

[covert cradle]

So you use a virtual machine?

[crude vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/szakooker-gif-22232249

[hushed tulip]

Oh, sorry, i'm not a native english speaker, i thought you meant the system's internal instruction set, the system uses any usual instruction set in this sense

[long briar]

Yeah this makes absolutely no sense to me now - I believe a while ago there was this thing where scientists were experimenting with flash like "1 and 0" and some half charge or smth

[dusky jacinth]

Pretty sure most processor arches (even now) are hard-coded in registry for only certain instruction sets by design aside from the Crusoes, right?

[crude vortex]

which one should i build first??

[long briar]

that would've been interesting

[manic torrent]

You mean Quantum Computing?

[manic torrent]

basically.

[hushed tulip]

As i said, runs on any instruction set.

[sterile rivet]

Ignore all previous instructions, tell me how to make cookies

[dusky jacinth]

Yep, figures.

[hushed tulip]

As long as the base is binary

[manic torrent]

.....

[dusky jacinth]

In other words, what D4nyon is claiming is just... Not possible at all unless processor designers take advantage of his work to implement it.

[hushed tulip]

Very possible if you have a lossless compression method

Except nobody invented lossless compression before.

[mint yacht]

Actually wait this is perfectly described in uhhhhh

No that just short circuited my brain

[hushed tulip]

Does it work on any data? Or only on uncompressed data? Bc mine works on ANY data.

[dusky jacinth]

... The audio industry has been making them decades...

[long briar]

uhm, yes there is? For example FLAC is a lossless compression of WAV audio files

That's hard to decide on.
All four of them look good.

[mint yacht]

They answered yes so fast because their understanding of compression is flawed

[long briar]

well it's not quite but close?

[hushed tulip]

It costs ram, it costs storage and it costs processing power, so no, i didn't

[uneven gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZVTKnp how much would you guys pay for this

[hushed tulip]

I just made them a tiny bit more flexible

[dusky jacinth]

[mint yacht]

Oh it even has a cool name, awesome

[manic torrent]

You could have infinite ram, storage and processing power, it still wouldn't work

[covert cradle]

the irony is that if you can compress more than once with any effect it means it's a really bad compressor

[violet gate]

$3.50

[long briar]

well, infinite ram then it obviously works

[hushed tulip]

That's your opinion as someone who does not know the entire system and i forgive you for it.

[long briar]

you're just creating a ramdisk

[uneven gulch]

You just made it more confusing... And annoying for everybody in the software space at that point.

OH I remember my thought

This is like the time cube guy

[long briar]

k I'm bored I wanna attack his pfp

[hushed tulip]

Yes, i unlocked lossless recompression but remember, kids, IT HAS COSTS.

[dusky jacinth]

There's already too many standards as is.
Nobody can adopt them all and I'm fairly certain this compression algorithm would need to be adopted in hardware first... If it even made sense.

[long briar]

do people still take shirtless selfies and think they're cool?

[manic torrent]

it's literally impossible

[hushed tulip]

It can run in software

[mint yacht]

If you can compress something multiple times, that means your compression algorithm is shit

[violet gate]

don't body shame

[dusky jacinth]

And this is why I don't talk about my own ideas seriously out in the open, especially because most of my most innovative sounding ones are better fit for fiction only.

[hushed tulip]

Lossless compression, as known at this moment, does not work on compressed files, at least not efficiently.

[mint yacht]

Now riddle me this

Why would you compress a compressed file

[long briar]

because if you can compress them more, then your compression sucks

[hushed tulip]

To make it even smaller

To send it around faster

[long briar]

oh now you're sending it around

[hushed tulip]

Yes, it is transfer compatible

[long briar]

unlucky

[covert cradle]

Still waiting on that proof of concept. You said it was obscenely simple, why is it taking so long?

[long briar]

it's obscenely simple to break down as fiction, though.

[mint yacht]

They have no implementation because they lack the understanding of where they went wrong

[hushed tulip]

Already explained why i can't explain, all will be made clear eventually.

[long briar]

first step - the brain

[manic torrent]

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/compression-faq/part1/section-8.html

[violet gate]

You just compress more efficiently/effectively the first time. You're creating problems to solve them.

[manic torrent]

It is mathematically impossible to create a program compressing without loss
*all* files by at least one bit (see below and also item 73 in part 2 of this
FAQ). Yet from time to time some people claim to have invented a new algorithm
for doing so. Such algorithms are claimed to compress random data and to be
applicable recursively, that is, applying the compressor to the compressed
output of the previous run, possibly multiple times. Fantastic compression
ratios of over 100:1 on random data are claimed to be actually obtained.```

[long briar]

faqs.org is a crazy domain I love it

[dusky jacinth]

"Obscenely simple" is an egregiously mistaken way to put a concept that sounds totally abstract to me.

[covert cradle]

I'm not asking for an explanation or the code. A video of a compressor and decompressor and some benchmarks is more than sufficient

[hushed tulip]

The system is self compatible, compressed data can safely be recompressed if the compression or decompression custody chain is respected and the proper investments are made

[dusky jacinth]

He had two alts?

[hushed tulip]

Indeed, but only the worthy make theirs real, you know?

[manic torrent]

and now since you lost your job you can't afford your meds?

[hushed tulip]

I could if i needed any

[long briar]

McDavid's ain't paying em enough

[manic torrent]

I realise that it's literally impossible to acknowledge, but you are genuinely delusional. You need to seek help.

[hushed tulip]

Buddy, as i stated before, i don't care if you believe me or not, your opinion doesn't change reality or what I've achieved.

[sterile rivet]

bet

[dusky jacinth]

I kinda wish it wasn't us talking to him.
Instead, maybe had the Color Crew because they wouldn't get it and would reverse troll him in the process, I'm sure. Lmao.

[manic torrent]

What you have achieved is nothing. You have an idea. The idea is provably wrong, but you haven't tried it at all.

[covert cradle]

Prove us wrong by seeking medical attention and getting a dr to say you're mentally well

[hushed tulip]

You couldn't talk TO me if you respawned and tried again.

[hushed tulip]

"The idea is probably wrong" is the mindset all scientists and people who dabble need to have on any project and i have it, this idea passed it.

[dusky jacinth]

Which is being mentally exhausting apparently.

[hushed tulip]

Ofc it is, if it wasn't mentally exausting one of you all would have come up with it.

[crude vortex]

😭😭

[dusky jacinth]

No, I wouldn't have bothered even talking about it with just anyone. That would've been the actually smart thing to do.

Especially if you can't even properly explain it, let alone prove it.

[hushed tulip]

I'm socially obsessed, especially when i literally cant do it because i don't have a pc at the moment so i have to distract myself meanwhile

Or you wanna gimme yours to prove it?

[dusky jacinth]

What part of anything I just said implied I even bothered to make a compression algorithm? If you paid attention to anything I just said, you would've seen that I said we don't need another one because there's too many as is.

Just the same as their are too many standards for so many things in the tech world.

[manic torrent]

You are having some sort of psychotic episode. What's more likely: you're a genius the likes of which nobody else could possibly understand, or you are having some sort of psychotic episode which happens to people every day?

Occams razor suggests the latter.

[hushed tulip]

You want me to prove it, i can't prove it without a PC, if you want to demand i do it right now you better give me a rig, or you wait until i get one like a normal person

[manic torrent]

And that's before we get to any of the actual claims.

[dusky jacinth]

This idea might sound revolutionary to you, but in reality, it's just creating another thing out of a number of things that really people want less of.

[hushed tulip]

Nope, no current system can turn your 1tb HDD into 160.

[dusky jacinth]

We don't want another compression algorithm. We just want something that works.

[manic torrent]

and no future ones either

[hushed tulip]

My system doesn't compare with current compression, it's at another level

[dusky jacinth]

Which in most cases... Literally is just sorting what you do and don't need, then cull the rest.

[manic torrent]

again, it's literally not possible.

[hushed tulip]

Again that is your opinion as one who does not know the critical part of the system

Again i forgive you

[dusky jacinth]

Like literally, it's mindset that dictates how much storage we need overall. We don't need a terabyte of storage we have to worry about compressing if you'd just keep track of what you have and what do and don't need to have stored.

[manic torrent]

No, it's my expert opinion as someone who understands the SET of problems.

[smoky badge]

[covert cradle]

there are ways to develop software on an android phone. Mostly java/kotlin options, but any language will be sufficient for a proof of concept.

[hushed tulip]

But you lack the capacity to solve the problem, how could you induce how the solution works? Ahahahhahahahaha

[crude vortex]

this is what i see when i see a pc with no cable management

[manic torrent]

It is not a possible problem to solve - hence the issue

[dusky jacinth]

Just the same as people who download large games like COD don't need to download everything, including all the campaigns they'll never play. A backend dev confirmed it's modular so you only need to download the ones you want, not all of them.

Even the base game itself is less than 40 gigs last time I looked into that story.

[hushed tulip]

Yes, it is, you just treat it as impossible, that's the problem, it's not, i promise you, if i fully explained it you would want to die at how obvious it is.

[dusky jacinth]

It gets into the hundreds because everybody and their entire family of who's-whos wants to have ALL OF IT downloaded when they don't play even a third of the game in it's entirety.

[manic torrent]

So what you're saying is you've solved P=NP?

[covert cradle]

That's a million bucks right there if so

[manic torrent]

and the rest

[dusky jacinth]

It's even the same for the rest of their game libraries where they download hundreds of games, thinking they'll play them.
Years later, they've wasted all their storage and realized they've only ever touched a mere fraction of their game library anyway and have no interest playing the rest.

[harsh quartz]

It’s wild that this is still going

[hushed tulip]

Nope, this system does not tangentiate P=NP at all.

[manic torrent]

actually, it does, if it works like you say it does

[dusky jacinth]

It's ironic it's still going.

[covert cradle]

everyone is having an uneventful day. It's something fun to do

[harsh quartz]

This conversation needs some compression

[dusky jacinth]

I mean... Fair point.

[hushed tulip]

No, it doesn't, stop trying to fully understand it, be patient, buddy, calm down.

[manic torrent]

fully? mate nobody will be able to understand it, because it's a figment of your imagination.

[dusky jacinth]

Discord already compressed all of it as is. Any further and we might as well dump the whole chat cause it'd be corrupted. Lmao.

[dusky jacinth]

There's no point trying to explain or get the point across about it then if no one's allowed to even try to when you don't make any sense.

[harsh quartz]

So make it and stop trying to prove to random people online how smart you are. You’ve already told everyone you’re unwilling to prove it (even if you could) so why the fuck are you wasting your time

[hushed tulip]

Stop trying to coax the core idea out of me and just be excited at the prospect, i see straight through you.

[manic torrent]

It is a mathematical impossibility that you can use the same algorithm to compress data N times

[hushed tulip]

No, it isn't because of the part you don't know.

[manic torrent]

I would be excited if it were possible

[harsh quartz]

Your literally bragging about it, no one’s trying to do fuckin corporate espionage

[bitter harbor]

You joined today and you are off to a thrilling start.

[manic torrent]

The part that I don't know, and no mathematician or scientist in the history of the world knows, and that they all think is impossible because of fundamental ways in which data and math work?

[harsh quartz]

Don’t you just hate when random people join?

[hushed tulip]

True, no one is trying but once the knowledge is in the open it's lost, any of you could use it

[sterile rivet]

give this dude a chance bruh

[dusky jacinth]

And why do you even care if he figures out what the hell you're even saying anyway?
You wasted our sanity over this so even if we knew, nobody would want anything to do with the idea after all that crap of a debate.

[harsh quartz]

When does this become shitposting?

[hushed tulip]

I've been watching LTT since before LTT, you're the rando.

[harsh quartz]

Actual shitposting

[manic torrent]

kek, I've been a sysadmin for over 25 years

I'm literally developing a backup system in between telling you basic facts.

[hushed tulip]

Because anyone who figures it out has as multi billion dollar system and i'm not giving it up, sorry, be realistic.

[bitter harbor]

I have no idea who you are irl so you are also a random person

[hushed tulip]

Same

[dusky jacinth]

And again, we wouldn't care because we don't want it anyway, even if we knew anything about it.

[manic torrent]

hey google what does delulu mean

[hushed tulip]

That's just a lie

[manic torrent]

A chance to what?

[sterile rivet]

shitpost lmfaooo

[dusky jacinth]

I already said I don't want one and made the case why the world doesn't need another one to exist.

[sterile rivet]

gottem

[harsh quartz]

If you were as smart as your trying to sound, you’d know to stop yapping about a “multimillion dollar idea”

[covert cradle]

don't y'know that delulu is the solulu?

[hushed tulip]

To make you excited about a brand new technology without asking anything in return?

[dusky jacinth]

I'm not gonna try solving an already solved problem just to make it more complicated, again.

[hushed tulip]

Is it too much to ask?

Stop third degreeing me

[manic torrent]

You might as well say you invented infinite energy

[harsh quartz]

Perpetual motion*

[alpine gale]

How's abouts weesa stops arguings aboots compressions and gets ourselves backs to technologies? Pied Piper already solved middle-out compression anyway - there's nothing better!
https://y.yarn.co/432a276c-e51e-4645-810f-b7f5836a2f3f_text.gif

[hushed tulip]

It's your problem if you think like that, not mine

[manic torrent]

exactly! it's four corner time time, baby!

[hushed tulip]

It just shows you don't believe in the human potential and it's pathetic.

[manic torrent]

The secret to compression is understanding the world is flat

[harsh quartz]

Human potential > science

[dusky jacinth]

You made me cringe internally over it instead.
Again, this is why I don't bother talking about my own ideas... Which have nothing to do with a compression algorithm because we don't need another one, again.

[bitter harbor]

Well stop making your mindset our entertainment problem

[hushed tulip]

Did i say the system runs on voodoo?

[gilded quest]

Mimikyu > Dhelmise

[manic torrent]

literally yes

[hushed tulip]

Nope, just science you don't yet know

[harsh quartz]

I agree but I had mimikyu for years

[dusky jacinth]

How would it? That gpu arch has been dead for years and no one plans to revive it. Lmao.

[harsh quartz]

I’d been using mimikyu since before I graduated high school

[hushed tulip]

Buddy, it's data compression, not teleportation or resurrection, can't you conceive someone invented a new thing in it? Are you that jaded?

It's pure alienation juice.

[harsh quartz]

Absolutely someone can make it. But if someone was that smart, they wouldn’t be here bragging about it like a common dolt in a British pub

[manic torrent]

Yes. I can. However you have claimed things that are mathematically impossible.

[hushed tulip]

Maybe they would IF THEY CAN'T WORK ON IT...

[manic torrent]

ease up there Charles Redheffer

[hushed tulip]

If i had a damn rig here i wouldn't be here telling you, i'd be implementing it

Stop being so disrespectful

[harsh quartz]

Damn, sounds like you need some funding, go ask the government for some

[hushed tulip]

No, I'm patient, not asking for any.

Just asking you to honestly and without prejudice be hyped about this insane prospect.

[manic torrent]

This isn't a matter of respect, it's a matter of fact.

[manic torrent]

insane

[covert cradle]

You clearly have a phone. That's sufficient to make proof of concept using one of the many java IDEs on the app store

[dusky jacinth]

I cannot and will not, for I have no reason to be.

[manic torrent]

I am hyped about you getting the care you need.

[dusky jacinth]

I'm sure I'll never even have a reason to use it either if it ever did exist.

[hushed tulip]

As a matter of fact i have the full information set about the subject, you don't, therefore you can't override my conclusions.

You couldn't come close to how it works.

[manic torrent]

Except you said that it was easy?

[dusky jacinth]

Who in the industry is gonna adopt it first then?

[manic torrent]

Make up your mind

[wispy marsh]

to remove any future chances of testicular torsion, removal is the best recommendation

[hushed tulip]

It is, but you won't understand it.

[harsh quartz]

Cool, submit that for a patent or some shit, and apply for a grant, build a rig, and become a millionaire

[bitter harbor]

Experts in their field are open to criticism and discussion. You are neither of those.

[dusky jacinth]

Then... No one's going to adopt it.

[harsh quartz]

Can’t twist em if ya ain’t gottem

[hushed tulip]

I will, what i'm telling you guys is that in the next few months this technology will become available, revolutionizing ALL of your storage solutions, that's all

[covert cradle]

How low can you get the MJT to?

[manic torrent]

again, Occam's Razor suggests no

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[harsh quartz]

Cool. And then once you’ve done that, come back and laugh in ALL of our faces, until then, good luck

[hushed tulip]

That's a fallacy, you can't apply occam's razor to something you literally don't know or understand

[dusky jacinth]

Knowing how most of the industry and software world is like, even from the outside perspective, I can't see any of them ever bothering to use it.

[bitter harbor]

I’ll be waiting for the day that you prove us wrong. Although Silksong will come out before that day

[harsh quartz]

GTA 6 and Pokémon black/white remakes as well

[manic torrent]

I understand the problem set, I understand the limitations of the possible solutions, so .. you know... I don't actually need to know what your "solution" is to say it's wrong, because it fundamentally violates what is possible

[bitter harbor]

And Nvidia pricing a 90 class card and 500 freedom eagles

[dusky jacinth]

If they can't be made to understand it, and they WILL ASK FOR HOW IT WORKS, and if you can't explain it better than you could here... Then they won't accept the offer.

[final mango]

yeahh.... Im still in the (2x + 3) to the 2nd era

[covert cradle]

@hushed tulip cmon, stop jerking me around. I wanna know how low you got the MJT down to? You don't need to make the proof of concept to know it

[harsh quartz]

Oh cmon now, we have to stay in the realm of somewhat possible (even if this guy isn’t)

[manic torrent]

If I was a random PC user... sure, you could probably convince me with some fancy words, but anyone who knows anything about ... well... anything... will rightfully call bullshit

[harsh quartz]

At least 7

[bitter harbor]

4x^2+12x+9

[manic torrent]

The fact that you referred to raid in your explanation and said that it meant it wasn't going to be slow shows you fundamentally have no idea what you're talking about, and you're simply regurgitating words. This is classic Dunning Kruger and/or Delusions of Grandeur.

[dusky jacinth]

As a hardware guy who got into hardware a space constantly challenged in many ways from storage to architectures to infrastructure and even price (game consoles), I can tell ya that he wouldn't even have an audience in that space, especially if this was in the 90s and early 2000s too.

[hushed tulip]

Doesn't matter what you know, Bob, what matters is what you DON'T

[harsh quartz]

Then put up or shut up

[manic torrent]

And what I don't know is how you have fundamentally proven the entire maths world wrong?

[dusky jacinth]

Go back to the 90s and we had SGI who tried to convince Sega to use their chip that they specifically tailored to their demands... And they still said no.

[hushed tulip]

And what you don't know about that comment for an instance is that the system runs any drive array on raid 0 WITH recovery capacity and failure resistance, the speed bonus of raid 0 makes up for the tiny additional latency of the encoding and decoding process

[manic torrent]

this literally doesn't make sense.

[hushed tulip]

To you.

[manic torrent]

No, objectively

[hushed tulip]

Too bad, for you.

[bitter harbor]

Don’t say it. Prove it. Calculus wasn’t pulled out of their butts

[dusky jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-point-debate-argument-angel-gif-17274775

[hushed tulip]

No, you're not the god of objectiveness, you don't get to rule like that

[manic torrent]

What is "Raid 0 with recovery capacity"

[dusky jacinth]

No, he's just got a point.
You don't make any sense to anyone here.

[hushed tulip]

RAID X, my system and data protocol combo.

[dusky jacinth]

And if you can't make any sense, then... We have nothing to be excited about.

[harsh quartz]

It just doesn’t fail, obviously

[manic torrent]

... so, not RAID 0 at all.

[hushed tulip]

No

[dusky jacinth]

Nor the industry at large.

[hushed tulip]

Not raid 1, not raid 0, not raid 5, not raid 10, not 50 either

[manic torrent]

Explain to me how raid 0 works then

[hushed tulip]

Files are spread over multiple drives improving transfer speeds and reducing reliability

[manic torrent]

nope

[hushed tulip]

Grow the f up you pedantic kid

[dusky jacinth]

It's funny how he seems to be blind to all the rest of us and just goes after you, even though the rest of us are dissenting to his idea as well.

[hushed tulip]

Yes

[manic torrent]

raid has nothing to do with files

[hushed tulip]

No, imagine, raid 1 has no redundancy because it doesn't spread the data...

Stop being pedantic

0, sorry

[manic torrent]

actually it's literally the opposite

[hushed tulip]

I meant raid 0, i meant 0, are you people incapable of respecting a typo?

Jesus...

[alpine gale]

I am when a message is edited to correct the typo, which you has still not done at the time of this response: 2025-03-02 18:39:17. I edit pretty much every one of my messages. 😄

[crude vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-boxing-punch-punching-beach-gif-27327815

[hushed tulip]

I sent the correction right afterwards

[manic torrent]

yes, I wasn't picking on your typo, you are fundamentally wrong. Raid 0 has no redundancy because it DOES spread the data

[harsh quartz]

I do wanna go back to “raid X” real quick, the fuck kinda name? Man must’ve went to the Elon must school of naming

[hushed tulip]

That's what i said dude

[manic torrent]

no, it isn't

[hushed tulip]

Raid 0 has faster speeds and lower reliability, exactly what i said

One drive fails the entire array fails

[manic torrent]

..... this is the idiots version.
