They added a decent CAM program

You can do renders and such now too

[bitter harbor]

Yeah. Also, navigating solidworks sucks on trackpad.

[winged spire]

So does Onshape lol

I tried the other day on trackpad

I had to give up 💀 fuck that

[supple pawn]

This makes me unreasonably angry

[vapid smelt]

do they also code in java?

[winged spire]

My friend does everything in fucking blender

[supple pawn]

Rust

[winged spire]

@snow halo

[supple pawn]

My only gripe with solidworks is I can't just type commands like I did in AutoCAD.

[winged spire]

Fusion has that

Inventor does too iirc

[vapid smelt]

even his taxes?

[winged spire]

Yeah

[supple pawn]

No no you use Libreoffice calc for taxes

[bitter harbor]

Someone at my college took the CSWA test early this semester and got all the parts right. The computer crashed when he got to assemblies so he failed because of that. The most brutal defeat

[supple pawn]

The what test?

[bitter harbor]

The CSWA exam https://www.solidworks.com/certifications/mechanical-design-cswa-mechanical-design

[supple pawn]

Oh. Well, if they gonna be using Solidworks, that's a harsh lesson they learned. It crashes regularly. Need to save every 5 minutes or so at a minimum.

9 times out of 10 it happens in a large assembly, almost always if you choose to insert a component then ESC out of it.

[bitter harbor]

My laptop has been good to me so far. I already did the practice exam made by the group I am doing it with at my college. It is designed to be harder than the actual exam in their words so I think if I don't have some freak crash, I SHOULD be fine.

[supple pawn]

Its not the hardware that's the issue. Its Solidworks. You can fart in its general direction and it'll just decide to fuck you in particular.

Company got me a laptop with a 14900hx, 64gb ddr5 ram, a 4090, still crashes regularly. Pain in my ass.

Need a damn quadro I guess.

[bitter harbor]

I have an rtx A2000 as my gpu that is why I said that since it is part of the certified hardware

Here is a screenshot of one of the parts that are in the practice test I had to do.

[spice sphinx]

what yall think of my "budget" server upgrade

200$ cad total

60$ i5 12400
100$ lga 1700 board
30$ 16gb ddr5 4800 or smthn
10$ cooler
case free
psu free
drives free

mainly used for "plex" (jellyfin) and ofc other NAS stuff

[supple pawn]

Nice. Easiest way to do that, I imagine, is draw the short side profile minus the big clamp things, extrude out, make major cutouts, add clamps, add chamfer and fillets?

3d printed?

[supple pawn]

No AI shenanigans?

[spice sphinx]

i forgot i can run ai on this

prob not im using a cheap cooler

dont wanna set my cpu on fire lol

[bitter harbor]

This is my feature tree for that part:

[supple pawn]

Ah lol

You got a different way of doing things than i

Its alright, there's no one way of doing things

[bitter harbor]

There is something satisfying with doing one singular sketch and having it account for all of your extrudes. adding material with only 1 or 2 sketches removing material.

Hot take: if you have a superhero series where the main protagonist is overpowered af. Make your series focus more on charecter development to keep your series consistent

[vernal cargo]

Just accidentally touched 4 pin power and shorted it with scissors 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 now the fan cable is hot

Not by brightest moment

[vapid smelt]

why are you using scissors?

[vernal cargo]

fantastic question

[split swift]

metal

[vernal cargo]

trying to fit a 4 pin in to a 3 pin so i was trying to cut off the side of the adapter

but i forgot to unplug it from the psu

[split swift]

you dont need to cut it

you just plug it in and then go to bios and set the pin to 3pin dc

[vernal cargo]

no not what i mean

a male 4 pin into a female 3 pin

the 4 pin is a splitter

[rigid tartan]

It should just… fit?

[split swift]

what are u talking about

it just fits, you are fucking it up for no reason

[vernal cargo]

you dont get it

[split swift]

no, i do

fan headers use the same pin outs and connector unless its dell

[vernal cargo]

No, not on a motherboard, it’s a 4pin psu to 3 pin fan adapter

The female 3 pin doesn’t have a slot for the 4 pin, it’s a 3 pin only connector

[split swift]

they are universal

[vernal cargo]

bruh

It’s not a female 4 pin connector, it’s a 3 pin only, it is too small for a 4 pin

A 4 pin PSU to a 3 pin female fan, to a 4 pin male

[split swift]

psu fan header???

[vernal cargo]

no idea what the connector is called

[split swift]

molex??

[vernal cargo]

yes thats it

[split swift]

im so lost on how you got a 3 pin molex

[vernal cargo]

what are you on about

[split swift]

?

[vernal cargo]

its a molex to 3 pin, im trying to plug a 4 pin fan splitter into it

[split swift]

this is molex

[vernal cargo]

yes i know....

[split swift]

why are you using a 3 pin molex?

i dont understand what ur doing

[vernal cargo]

bruh

https://noctua.at/en/na-sac1

im trying to plug a 4 pin fan header into one of those

[split swift]

yes, that converts molex to 3 pin. please tell me you are plugging it into a fan lol

[vernal cargo]

yes i am im trying to plug it into my 2 top 140mm fans because at max they are quiet

but i dont want my exhaust 120mm at max speed all the time

[split swift]

you cant change that for molex

you want a 4 pin so you can control it

molex is a single speed

[vernal cargo]

i know, i want my 2 140mm into the molex for full speed

im plugging the 120 into the motherboard fan header

[split swift]

just plug it into a 3 pin like normal and turn it up in software?

[vernal cargo]

i just said i dont want the 120mm at full speed

[split swift]

extra money and effort for something you just config in software for free

[vernal cargo]

just the 140mm

[split swift]

software???

[vernal cargo]

the connector came with my old 120mm

[split swift]

you can control each fan individually?

🤨

[vernal cargo]

no

[split swift]

yes

3 and 4 pin, you can control

you just plug it into the motherboard

or a controller, its that easy

[vernal cargo]

i know, i only have 2 headers for intake and exhaust

i dont have a controller

[winged spire]

Imagine if NetNavis were a thing on our smartphones like in the Rockman.exe series.
They could be fully customizable and battle each other with battle chips which phone makers could sell for $3.00 each.

it's Wan 2.1 14B I2V

can you run it airgapped?

cus im looking for true local

[neon mesa]

yea

[hybrid echo]

Get some cheap Tesla cards,, that will hlep

[neon mesa]

anything older than turing will not have FP16 support

older than ampere, no BF16 support

basically need 3000 for anything worthwhile

[hybrid echo]

Oh then yeah, I have zero idea what am talking about when getting too much into running llms

[neon mesa]

LLMs are more widely supported

[hybrid echo]

Just get a ada 6000 smh

[full fossil]

i dont get how something thats true local can have a subscription plan

[neon mesa]

[full fossil]

🤔 "give me the source code, heres 50grand?"

[neon mesa]

What? Wan 2.1 can be ran locally for free

[full fossil]

oh can it? i just see subscription things

i was looking at their website not the github repo

[neon mesa]

like every other ones they also provide cloud based inference for those who want it

which is what i use

[full fossil]

i also have a 3080ti

[neon mesa]

so you don't need to spend extra

[full fossil]

spending isnt the issue, its my addictive personality and inability to not just buy things all the time

it feels like nvidia isnt even gonna let you use a gpu soon without an active internet connection

[hybrid echo]

Why do you think that

[oak pier]

in what world is that going to happen?

[full fossil]

i need ur processing power, and u have it sitting over there 😄

[hybrid echo]

So ur saying without drivers, they are unusable is what you are saying?

[full fossil]

nah im saying so many services now want constant verification of their products your using and nvidia is in a weird spot with ai where the more stuff we have connected the better we can deliver that thing

but its not limited to nvidia

[oak pier]

so using gpus for ai training = must have an internet connection to use a gpu?

[crude vortex]

@full fossil you better fall in love w orange trees cause spring's coming

[full fossil]

well, its just the concept of having a gpu sititng there not doing anything, how efficient is it cus in the grand scheme when our wonderful ai overlords take over, its about the efficiency and identifying waste

its like crypto-malware basically 🤷

[oak pier]

they don’t really care about consumer cards

that’s a fun side project for nvidia

[full fossil]

i wouldnt either but thats still untapped resources

[oak pier]

you do realize if they did that it’d be illegal, right?

[full fossil]

illegal only matters when geographic boundries can place you somewhere yea

but maybe some country its perfectly legal

[oak pier]

when your primary consumer base is the US, people care a lot about what you do on their property

[full fossil]

laws are its own thing not really relevant to efficiency and identifying waste

[oak pier]

you’d have to send whatever model it is to the host PC, have them download it, then use the gpu and it’s meager vram to slowly train whatever the model is

[full fossil]

i willingly contribute my gpu to folding @ home, if i want to contribute to someone trying to play fortnite down the street, why not? same thing with all this ai generative stuff and finding resources to process stuff

its just corpos being coy about using ur stuff

[crude vortex]

i can do drug in canada,i cant do drugs in usa

[oak pier]

at which point you’ve functionally disclosed the entirety of your model allowing your competitors to improve from it

[crude vortex]

ok is this against the rules

[full fossil]

combine all the models. but then corpos will feel bad about their ip's yea

its going to happen eventually anyway

[oak pier]

someone’s on something

[full fossil]

eh

i can just see where the tech world is at from a wordly view

honestly i wanted the 5g nanobots in my covid vaccine, hook me up 😄

[mortal kraken]

I mean you're not absolutely wrong that such trends exist nowadays where companies are trying to use your stuff for their good, even take cars and their interesting telemetry, but for now, as we speak, saying that any of those companies have the power to use your hardware to put their workload without permission is wild (again, today)

[full fossil]

they do though, that already exists

[mortal kraken]

Maybe they do, but rest assured nvidia, amd or whoever ain't using your gpu when you aren't for their benefit

[oak pier]

in a way that would absolutely destroy their reputation and kill their company

[mortal kraken]

Not directly at least

[oak pier]

a lot of the nvidia customers care a lot about discretion

[mortal kraken]

Yeah, I mean there's so many rn that are destroying their reputation right but like, this stuff for today is wild.

I'm not even denying that in the much farer future something dumb might exist, but today no (hardware company) is wanting to use your hardware for their benefit

[full fossil]

i am interested in the performance of being able to do it locally

[wary summit]

i know why my windows was being shit, microsoft was too focused on creating a new element lmfao

eh, norton puts cryptomalware in their anti-virus offering, some companies are actively trying

Right, norton isn't a hardware manufacturer

[wary summit]

fuck norton

[full fossil]

they even advertise the cryptomalware as beneficial aiding in like active threat response

[wary summit]

aint norton mine crypto while youre idle

[full fossil]

but thats not many steps removed from the software devs on the hardware, but im not saying micro/nvidia is doing all this right now its just there and something that exists

But on the other hand, 3050s are now 2 generations old, so I probably wouldn't buy a laptop equipped with one at this point.

It’s still going to be better than any integrated graphics, despite the hundred plus watt extra power draw

What do people mean when they say video games are too long

Why would you want it to be shorter

[halcyon canyon]

thanks

yall remember T pain?

#1347649963563159665 message i made it

[halcyon canyon]

yes

[split olive]

Ten hours of awesome is better than 30 hours of meh filler padding the awesome.

There's an older game development video somewhere on YouTube about the idea of 'awesome per minute'

That's just one reason

[gilded quest]

You mean moist critical?

[halcyon canyon]

no

t pain

how tf did u get moist critical from t pain

[unreal thorn]

Why would you pad games that's just more dev time

[short rock]

wasn't there some whole ass controversy on that

about trans rights and child transition or something like that

idk I like the artist

[unreal thorn]

Are you talking about those morons who think kids go to school and come back with gender reassignment surgeries

I wish you could have to take some kind of intelligence test before voting but that very quickly deteriorates into classism and eugenics

[wraith sonnet]

anyone aware if there is a blower 9070/xt?

[strange elk]

usb c 2.0?

[strange elk]

I thought they stopped making blowers after like the 10 series/Vega

[wraith sonnet]

there was a 7900xtx from asrock.

[vapid smelt]

Some 40 series ones too

[wraith sonnet]

I just would prefer a blower because I'm moving to rackmount my system

[strange elk]

wow

[gilded quest]

i haven't seen one
probably not gonna be any at launch

Get an IKEA countertop or a butcher block if you’re feeling crafty

[vapid smelt]

Get a home Depot wood work bench they are durable and height adjustable

[sage quiver]

Or take it to someone who has one

[round bridge]

No home depot in my country

[harsh quartz]

There’s a crossover

[sage quiver]

The wooden IKEA countertops even come with sticky edges to stick on after you cut them to size

[harsh quartz]

But it was so much cooler, now we have to pay extra for fans

[sage quiver]

You don’t have to buy RGB fans

[harsh quartz]

(It was a bad pun)

[frozen spindle]

HEAR ME OUT, what if we invented a cpu cooler, that connects automatically via pressure pads on the motherboard when the coolers are installed, so we dont have any fan wires

[harsh quartz]

(…cause it was cooler)

[harsh quartz]

You’d still have to have wires, unless you just make it a giant block

you mean passive cooling?

[vague echo]

Would someone be able to help me set up my wifi on my pc. I have an antenna. All I know is that’s it’s Asus and I dont know the software to get

[harsh quartz]

No I mean you’d still have to get the power from the connector pins to the fans, unless you have just like a giant solid PCB or something for power delivery

[frozen spindle]

why would you need wires? im saying use pressure and or contact pads on the fans/coolers to deliver power

[winged spire]

Probably gonna get like 5 of these when I move into my apartment

My bad my keys are broken what I was trying to say is I’ve mean designing and animating a game for nearly five years so I thought I’d ask you guys what the best option is for a good laptop or something that could run heaps of animations and code

Because it’s on the verge of death and I need to back it up

[cobalt narwhal]

the rules say to reach out to mods for infractions

but how do i reach out

<@&750150305383186585> ?

||i apologize in advance if that indeed was NOT how to contact them||

[sage quiver]

Hi you’ve reached the mod department, please take a number

[fossil frost]

im taking 7, so nobody else can have it... 7 is mine now... forever

[cobalt narwhal]

i take number 8

Thanks bro

[sage quiver]

As long as you return it

Can’t have both of you running off with them smh

[cobalt narwhal]

whats the return window

[fossil frost]

noope. its mine. im keeping it

[cobalt narwhal]

[sage quiver]

Same as the ladle key for the restaurant bathroom

[cobalt narwhal]

so immediately after the deed is done

[sage quiver]

You know it.

[cobalt narwhal]

[hybrid echo]

ladel key, whats that

[sage quiver]

You know how restaurants attach weird shit to the bathroom key to prevent it from disappearing?

[hybrid echo]

oh that

my local bookstore has the same thing

[sage quiver]

What do they use

[hybrid echo]

it ranges from a bookmark, to a back scratcher to a cardboard sheet, it rlly depends how fast people break them

[sage quiver]

ha

[hybrid echo]

sadly one of there locations closed

[shut elk]

Man I wish the ltt cables were out cuz I need some longer cables and all these on amazon look sketch

[sage quiver]

Tell me about it

[hybrid echo]

so

they rented the place for over 25 years, but then the leasers hated them and seteled on kicking them out, and they had to shut down the place(i got wii fit+ and we cheer for 90%off lmao) it was the last day too

[sage quiver]

Nobody I knew actually used their Wii fit

It would always just.. sit there

[fossil frost]

i used it for exactly the same amount of time everyone else did... twice

[hybrid echo]

i mean for less than a dollar and it came with all kinds of goodies it came with isnt a bad deal

[sage quiver]

Oh for sure

[hybrid echo]

plus not like i have the board for it, i might buy it soon to try it out

[sage quiver]

The board is what I was referring to

[hybrid echo]

they go loccaly for abt 9 dollars

[harsh quartz]

Did you ever do ring fit?

[fossil frost]

noope, realised it was all just a gimmik and didnt bother... bought some running shoes, and started running

its now many years later, and i have completed several ironman triathlon

[hybrid echo]

hopefully the game dosnt screen at me for being too heavy, i think due to my Hight it may or may not idk lol

[harsh quartz]

I wouldn’t mind doing something (not running)

[hybrid echo]

i do have a switch, just that the game dosnt look intesting enough to play it

[fossil frost]

my dad said this to me last year.. i recommended swimming, low body impact, but... hard enough work to make you sweat under water

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but then I have to have a pool

[fossil frost]

cycling is also less impactful than running

you can do that in the house with zwift, or, outside

[harsh quartz]

I don’t think I would mind cycling if I could learn how to use the gears, our terrain is not flat though so starting would be a struggle

[fossil frost]

smaller at the front == easier... bigger at the front == harder... smaller at the back == harder.. bigger at the back == easier

[harsh quartz]

Less so that, moreso how to switch between them without popping the chain off

[fossil frost]

the bigger the hill, the easier the gear you want.. and... change gear BEFORE you start climbing, not after you have already blown your lungs out of your arse

[fossil frost]

do you drive?

[harsh quartz]

I’m not saying it’d be hard to learn, I’d just have to

[harsh quartz]

Not a manual :)

[fossil frost]

balls.. analogy wont work then.. .was gonna say... do you change gear under full power, or do you lift the power off for a second, change gear.. and then put the power back on.. its the same on the bike

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, the car does the changing

[fossil frost]

you just ease off the power for a second

[harsh quartz]

Like I said, I don’t think it’d be hard, I’d just have to learn it

I also wouldn’t mind having a treadmill indoors, our weather is just killing for trying to do outdoors

[fossil frost]

if you get a treadmill. and dont want to be shocked when you do run outside... set the treadmill to be 1.5% incline from day 1... you will thank yourself

[grim belfry]

Nvidia does not care :)

[rustic tundra]

nvidia fo life

[patent violet]

I'm not so sure about that. I would definitely take another competitor on the market

Additionally I'm having somewhat of a hard time seeing Nvidia stay as a single company in the long-term future. They have spiked enough industries successfully that I would be anything but surprised to see broken out and sold off or spun off.

They've reached a "Honeywell" threshold as I keep calling it

If Nvidia was to crack their table for once you would see it become a different company and would most certainly see at that point another pseudo-competitor which would completely change the market dynamic and you would start playing a different slide simply because that's just always how it works

[rigid tartan]

I mean you say that but Microsoft and Google both still exist

[patent violet]

Alphabet. And Microsoft has tons of fractured ventures. Microsoft has also entrenched themselves as an ecosystem way more core to the market than whatever Nvidia is doing

You can't really just break up Microsoft and sell it off

Or try to shatter its table

Nvidia has less hold in the standards, design, and conformance area of the tech market than Qualcomm too. So their company is better built for breaking things off than others. There's obviously pros and cons

No obligations*

Nvidia doesn't even have their military segment hard tied to their consumer R&D either so none of their IP are MI tagged unless it's moved to MI specifically. They could just break that off and sell it. Microsoft couldn't

(Nvidia sells FPGAs and other coprocs for RADAR, Targeting systems (IR, Visual, Thermal.. etc), guidance systems for C&C + weapons/munitions, jammers, encryption coprocs, naval sensors (I really don't know much about this), and other computer aided target identification systems)

We call FPGAs that handle this stuff either Class IV or V. These FPGAs and other components which are able to do this are a magnitude faster than their consumer components with no regards to heat or power, etc.

Information like that is usually classified however you can usually go find a bunch of weapons manufacturers and OEMs websites that advertise this stuff in sales pamphlets or other marketing material

Even though I am pretty sure they are not supposed to advertise that

"powered by Nvidia"

[rigid tartan]

I mean… the entire AI thing is Blackwell basically and Nvidia has 90% consumer market share so it seems pretty entrenched

[gusty portal]

I still can't get a RX 9070. scalpers ruin everything

Amazon is absolutely terrible. Every time a card re-enters stock, it's out of stock by the time I try to actually order it

[minor sierra]

Are sky tech prebuilts a solid option?

[patent violet]

Nvidia has solid segmentation and solid grasp of the markets those segments have but in terms of coherent corporate structures, they have seem to done well in making sure they can actually split up their company. It makes me wonder if they ever plan to and I would not be surprised if they did

[manic torrent]

I'm very happy for you or sorry that happened

[manic torrent]

Nothing on the level of integration Microsoft has with business.

[patent violet]

I complained about broken exit signs so what do they do?

"done"

[manic torrent]

The exit sign is no longer broken

[patent violet]

No it's not you are correct

[manic torrent]

technically correct, the best kind

[patent violet]

reopens ticket
"Exit sign missing"

[patent violet]

Until it's a game of back and forth

[twin raft]

Can I ask for advice which is not pc related

[patent violet]

Just don't expect your answers to be good ones

[twin raft]

Bet

Im completely stumped but to put it shortly, I have work in 2 hours, and I've been trying to sleep for almost 6 hours, coming up on 22 hours no sleep, what do I do?

[rigid tartan]

Sleep

[twin raft]

I wish I could

[patent violet]

Congratulations you have discovered something called second wind

Second wind gives you anywhere between 35% to 75% of a normal power boost after sleep with anywhere between 20% to 60% the length

If you fall asleep during second wind you are going to crash yourself straight into a deep sleep

[twin raft]

Hell yeah I was always a fan of borderlands 2

[patent violet]

This is unadvisable because you will feel extremely tired immediately after you wake up if it has not been a proper period of time for a normal rest

The proper option here is to march forward

[twin raft]

Roger that

[patent violet]

Do not start relying on energy drinks until anywhere between 2 to 4 hours after you start working

You will initiate a crash early and this will suck

This includes coffee and even tea

[civic fox]

i upgraded my cpu finally i got rid of the bottlenecks and gained much more performance because of it

[patent violet]

Eat a light breakfast eat a light lunch

And eat something before you go to bed

Do not skip breakfast otherwise you will crash

[neon mesa]

Exit sign still broken, Just not at that spot

[twin raft]

Thank you for the advice, like actually

anyone got a clue about forcing volte on my phone ?

Worried about the damn 3g network removal in canada on July 30th I dont wanna be forced to buy a new phone just yet....

[grim belfry]

I would suggest purchasing an officially supported VoLTE compatible phone :)

[pearl shell]

that is what im trying to delay xD my phone is still working just fine and they gonna force me into one of the main 3 brands lol

[alpine gale]

Your network needs to support VoLTE on the phone model. If the network doesn't support VoLTE on your phone model, you likely can't enable it. https://community.smarty.co.uk/t5/chats-hacks/redmi-8-note-pro-volte-support/m-p/24601

[alpine gale]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_over_LTE#:~:text=For VoLTE calling to be,be loaded on the device.

[pearl shell]

damn I guess im gonna get abused and forced into their ecosystem, great xD

[grim belfry]

Huh? There will be plently of options that aren't Apple Google Samsung lmao

[pearl shell]

not on the officially supported phones list

oneplus for example is out of it, redmagic too etc...

[grim belfry]

What list are you looking at?

[pearl shell]

published by the carriers on their websites

[grim belfry]

That isn't helpful when I don't know what carrier you need/want to use, nor which list you are actually looking at

[pearl shell]

Im currently using fizz, so if you google fizz mobile 3g network shutdown they give a link at the end of with the list of all supported phones

well for now I managed to force activate volte on my phone and make it show up, but I doubt its working as I dont see LTE when im in a call or even when Im not

[grim belfry]

Fizz looks like an MVNO, not necessarily a carrier

[pearl shell]

check Bell if you want

[pearl shell]

Yep

[grim belfry]

That is more than 3...

Bolting on a VoLTE profile to your unsupported phone is a fantastic way to get caught in a situation where you need to contact emergency services and not be able to because you didn't want to get a new phone

[pearl shell]

Yea they just dont like chineese brands and if you actually dig into which models from brands other than the big 3 are supported, you'll find a very small list last I checked but im just crying to cry nothing will change just wanted to know if someone knew how to force a xiaomi into the network because its a compatible VOLTE mobile but they are refusing to support it

[pearl shell]

Yea Im just gonna test and see if what I did worked once they cut the 3g otherwise Im probably gonna wait a month or two for the pixel 10

[grim belfry]

No.

Bad idea

[pearl shell]

Because of not having access to calls?

[grim belfry]

Because testing the emergency number is not something a consumer should be doing

[pearl shell]

ah no im not testing the emergency number, just calling anyone in general, because if regular calls dont work I know for sure 911 wont

[grim belfry]

Hopefully Canada goes down the road TAC blocking to prevent silly people like you from being stupid :)

[pearl shell]

bruh you misunderstood me xD

[grim belfry]

Okay, and if regular calls work, you assume emergency calls will work

Which they most likely will not

[pearl shell]

why wouldnt they ? because if regular calls work it means my VOLTE is working which means I should be able to get emergency calls as well

[grim belfry]

Lots of older phones, and ones that aren't certified by your carrier will revert back to the circuit switched network for emergency calls, the circuit switched network will no longer exist

[pearl shell]

possibly, my phone isnt that old, but whatever happens doesnt really matter I already folded and decided im gonna buy a new phone this year, either the pixel 9 pro if they go on a really nice promo or wait for the pixel 10 which should be just a month or two after the cut the 3g

[alpine gale]

Your phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro) came out in 2019 -- 6 years ago. While I too wish that phones would be considered supported for AT MINIMUM 5 years, that's not how it works. I'll be in the same boat if/when my carrier kills off 3G - I have a OnePlus 5T bought in 2018, released way back in 2017.

[pearl shell]

hey hey hey now dont be calling my baby old xD he is still young and strong, bought it january 2020

[alpine gale]

Purchase date does not matter when it comes to support. But I hear ya.

[grim belfry]

There are plenty of examples of quite modern phones that don't support VoLTE emergency calling

[pearl shell]

but yea it will be 6 years exactly the day they cut the 3g

[grim belfry]

ROG Phone 5 from 2021? No VoLTE emergency calls!

[pearl shell]

I guess we gotta adapt to technology advancements.... rip

[alpine gale]

Or worse, if you're on AT&T in USA, you could purchase a phone manufactured literally yesterday only for them to tell you: "Fuck you, we don't even allow it to connect to our Data services. Why? Your phone is not on our whitelist. Please buy a new phone or go away. Thank you." (I rarely swear, but when I discovered that AT&T uses a white/blacklist model during my USA trip last summer... 🤢 🤮 )

[grim belfry]

There is also zero incentive for the manufactures and carriers to bolt on support for these older devices, when it is possible.

[grim belfry]

https://www.acma.gov.au/sites/default/files/2024-09/Draft Telecommunications (Emergency Call Service) Amendment Determination 2024 (No.1)_0.docx
It's mandatory here :)

[alpine gale]

Yeah I know - it makes sense for E911 situations - something something liability. But to block Data access for "security reasons" if you've only got mobile Data on your home-carrier's travel plan? Makes little sense.

[alpine gale]

But yeah, this. Unless you run the networks yourself, you're at the whim of their requirements. Tech advancements can be good, or they can be arbitrary. When it comes to 911 services... gotta stay current.

chat, who's disappointed with current GPU market?

[full fossil]

Not me

[dim glen]

like, I hoped 5080 to be a decent upgrade to my 3080, but then it dropped... And it's ass. The only GPU that's worth upgrading to is 5090.

and the 5090 as a product is kinda ass

[full fossil]

Just upgraded to a fully new build since I’d have to swap so much out for a new gpu, 1200 (pounds/gbp) to get a new 4070 ti super and i7-14700kf in my build

[dim glen]

I am on 7900X w/ an RTX 3080, I have some memory and thermal issues, so I was thinking of upgrading to a 5080, rebuilding and flipping my 3080

and I do need 4k, cuz my nice QD-OLED monitor is 4k

[viscid elm]

ryzen 5 7600 and 3080 is what ya got

[full fossil]

5070ti is like a scaled down 5080, not a 5070 this year, maybe got for that instead?

In the uk, I’ve surpsisinfly been seeing founder editions for the correct prices in stores

[dim glen]

so at this point I'm either staying on a 3080 and hoping nGreedia pull their heads out their asses and release a decent 5080Ti that's worth upgrading to, or I have to wait till next gen

[dim glen]

it's not

at that price point I'd rather get an RX 7900 XTX, which is way better

i've used tiny11 before, lowkey nightmare

[viscid elm]

just the normal windows 11 is best

[wary summit]

also how do i fix, my pc is missing drivers

[viscid elm]

by installing em

[plain gale]

always just use winaerotweaker

[full fossil]

installing the drivers

[wary summit]

yea

[wary summit]

no- bro i know thats not the problem

[full fossil]

do you need a step by step guide on how to google for your drivers

or opem bios for them

[wary summit]

it was like your PC needs drivers to install windows

i haven't ran into that problem before

bios is updated

idk which part would need drivers

its just a 9800X3D

[full fossil]

ohh i see what you mean

[grim belfry]

Never use a Windows ISO downloaded from anywhere other than microsoft.com

[wary summit]

well when i tried to install it was a R5 7600

[dim glen]

5070 Ti is only worth getting at MSRP and here in Germany they go for 1200 EUR.
So the next best I could get is an RX 7900 XTX for under a grand, which would compete with a 5080, at a lower price point.

[wary summit]

okay how do i make a bootable win11 USB on a mac ;-; i've tried balena shits not wokring

[dim glen]

even at 900 EUR ($750+VAT) RTX 5070 Ti is a tough sell

[dim glen]

well, if you can get an ISO, try just sudo dd if=winblows.iso of=/dev/sdb, where /dev/sdb is your USB key.

[grim belfry]

You will have to do some command line fuckery with wimlib

[wary summit]

bruh i thought i could use balena

[grim belfry]

No you can't

[dim glen]

idfk what works on macs, blame Apple for wanting to be special

[manic torrent]

I accidentally cleaned my keyboard. It was absolutely disgusting

[wary summit]

chat gpt said i could

[wary summit]

i bought a Ryobi Inflator and it worked great to clean 2 pcs

[manic torrent]

skill issue

[median idol]

[dim glen]

then why the hell did you come here if ChatGPT knows everything?

[manic torrent]

this was a 'remove every key and use wipes and a pick' kind of clean required.

[wary summit]

it dosen't thats why i came here ;-;

[median idol]

I regret stepping into Pub Chat

[dim glen]

gee, then maybe make up your mind?

[wary summit]

why cant i add bread to my name

[grim belfry]

Actually @wary summit is it an Intel Mac?

[wary summit]

I have both an intel and an M1

[grim belfry]

On the intel you can use bootcamp assistant to make a windows usb

[dim glen]

it has to be the certified bread plushie

[wary summit]

the SHITTY IMMA ACTUALLY KM5 macbook12" and the 2020air

[dim glen]

did they remove the command?

[grim belfry]

Ages ago

[median idol]

Get a Delorian, drive 88mph to August 2023 and you'll get the bread

[dim glen]

wait-wait-wait

[wary summit]

12" macbook cons

• heats up
• shit battery life
• buterfly keyboards
• can't install most apps
• bendable
• screen is shit reolution
• trackpad stuck

[dim glen]

Did Discord put changing nick name on a server behind a paywall?!

[wary summit]

server restrictoon

[dim glen]

ah, ok then

[wary summit]

well

[grim belfry]

No, but they should

That'd be a good idea

[wary summit]

there are nitro profiles, but server nicks are server controlled

[dim glen]

they did add server profiles, that's a layer on top of that

[grim belfry]

No, I'm saying they should paywall custom nicknames

[wary summit]

fuck

[grim belfry]

Imagine the additional shareholder value

Especially with the IPO coming up

[median idol]

I remember when you had to get a FP subscription just to post GIFs and images (or have nitro)

In Pub Chat ofc

[wary summit]

imagine BTC prices when DOGE realeases a DOGE coin

[wary summit]

same or just a boost

wait someone educate me why baleneaetcher dosen't work

[grim belfry]

Because the install.wim file is more than 4gb and doesn’t play nice with fat32, so the install.wim file needs to be split

That’s what wimlib can do

[balmy fractal]

hey does anyone know how to set up steam

[plain gale]

[balmy fractal]

i will show it in tech chat

[balmy fractal]

[wary summit]

i found a tutorial thansk

[wary summit]

what if we could

i love mac

nvm u need to run 3 commands to add it to PATH

stupid macos

[grim belfry]

No, you’re just using it wrong :)

[wary summit]

yea i am

wait i am?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06KAT0TBcpc

[grim belfry]

Yes, because you didn’t install brew correctly

So it’s your fault, not the fault of macOS

[wary summit]

i had to add it to path with 3 commands to use brew

it works now

fuck apple

why dose mouse scroll have momentum?

[grim belfry]

Because it’s more natural with a trackpad

Also, it’s does :p

[exotic summit]

how do i change brightness when i enable mprt

[molten drift]

Buenos Dias everyone

[buoyant bramble]

[molten drift]

food, rice, ham, american cheese, chicken, seasonings, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and cream of cheddar soup,

[civic rampart]

I need some help every time I boot up my pc the screen is blank

I can fix it into going safe mode but when I boot it up again it does black again

[buoyant bramble]

Make that cream soup

[full fossil]

(gear aquisition syndrome)

[vernal cargo]

silent hill 2 is making me schizo

[quiet sable]

on a scale of 1 to 10 how scary is it bcuz i reallyy wanna play it

[fossil frost]

not at all.. its a game.. its not real

[vernal cargo]

its spooky but not scary

idk if that makes sense

[quiet sable]

🤓

[polar fern]

It’s a horror game

Just like Minecraft, Derail Valley & PC builder sim.

[echo sluice]

"Someone stole several manholes on the highway"

bosnia moment

[polar fern]

are they sure they didn’t just steal President Garfield?

he died after his quack of a doctor enlarged a bullet hole from 2 inches to 20 inches. A very large man hole.

Oh his quack of a doctor also never sterilized any of the equipment he used, and never washed his hands

And then, later towards the end, they had to feed him through his other man hole

[hollow yoke]

Hello ppl

[polar fern]

Dude is back from the dead

We have this musk guy doing far more damage than you ever did. You can go back to sleep now.

[fossil frost]

musk has probably killed more people than osama ever did too

[echo sluice]

[cloud halo]

Hello everyone

[polar fern]

Ahoy

I appreciate this very much.

[hollow yoke]

who is musk?

[winged spire]

[eternal arch]

i wonder if anyone tweaked with lau scripting through the ghub app

i stumbled across it, and then i was thinking if i can assign my G6 on my g402 to

• single click: pause/play
• double click: next
• triple click: previous

how possible do yall think it is

[fossil frost]

depends if ghub provides timers and the ability to store state between executions, since its gonna execute that script on every single click

[eternal arch]

it does

i tried gpt to do it, but it's very bad

doesn't work at all, and it's a hell to go through their documentation (mainly cause i am lazy rn)

but it does seem possible

[fossil frost]

ghub is on linux now? i didnt notice they had ported it, im using Solaar

[eternal arch]

its not on linux, i dual boot so i made a profile for on board memory lmao

[fossil frost]

ahhhh

[eternal arch]

i use (arch 🤓 ) fedora

[fossil frost]

not had to write anything for ghub.. so i can only tell you that it should be possible, but i couldnt tell you how to do it 🙂

[eternal arch]

yea not many people do "g hub scripts" lol

• it seems a bit logical to assign a single key to handle media functions like some headphones do

[fossil frost]

i dont dual boot, so couldnt even switch to windows to write a test for you 😄

exclusively Mint for the last 6 months, dual booted for about a year before that.. but found that i was never booting into windows, so no point

[eternal arch]

sed, also what's the + points about your destro? never heard of it (new to linux)

[eternal arch]

i switched like a 2-3 weeks ago and rarely visit windows for some files or something lol

[fossil frost]

Linux Mint is based on ubuntu, so has all the ease of ubuntu, but (i personally, and i lot of other people think) it looks better, and is more intuitive to use

[eternal arch]

Solaar

i thought you used this?

[winged spire]

Solidworks is the only thing holding me from Linux

And most of the autodesk suite

[fossil frost]

Solaar is the 3rd party logitech ghub replacement for linux

[winged spire]

Not gonna dual boot because I have a life

[eternal arch]

aaa

mint is very window-ish no?

[fossil frost]

i switched to onshape for the few bits i actually use CAD for

[eternal arch]

go on champ

[winged spire]

Onshape is cool

[fossil frost]

no, its linux.. but with a more usable UI, has nothing to do with windows

[winged spire]

Womp womp

[fossil frost]

Mint doesnt force snap onto you too.. snap sucks balls

[eternal arch]

i mean the ui iirc when i asked my friend ab it he said "windows but it's linux"

[whole swallow]

does Mint still require fstab editing to handle perma-mounting network drives?

[fossil frost]

the UI that people call "the windows UI" existed before windows

[dusky jacinth]

Their community is actually strongly against Canonical over this too.

[fossil frost]

unsure if it REQUIRES it, but i have a txt document from when i was on other distros, that i paste into fstab, because its easier, because i need about 8 different network shares mounted

[whole swallow]

the holy "new distro quick setup.txt"

[fossil frost]

im too old and too lazy (and too much of a software developer) to be arsed to do... anything... so i have lots of little robots, each pushed into action by another robot... to set things up for me

[restive lion]

I think the dev in you is the biggest influence there

[fossil frost]

age too, i used to love tinkering, and doing things manually, step by step... i have 3 kids, 2 dogs and 1 wife now... they consume a lot of time and energy from me 🙂

[whole swallow]

idk tinkering is fun but there's tinkering and then there's "the os gets in the user's way too much"

[fossil frost]

thats why im not a fan of arch... it gets in your way

[whole swallow]

yea I avoided arch when picking a distro

[fossil frost]

the OS's job is to be transparent...

your OS is a table that all your other tools sit on.. if the table keeps suddenly falling over, or uncrewing its own legs, or wondering off to other parts of the room on its own... its a shit table

[whole swallow]

I ended up on Nobara for my gaming rig cause my index just worked out of the box and thus slapped regular fedora on my utility box (folding, downloading linux isos, that sorta stuff), tho I'm not fully settled on leaving Fedora on there

[fossil frost]

fedora is a widely supported and widely used distro, if you like it, theres no real reason to move to anything else

[whole swallow]

yeah it seems ok so far, tho I do need to rip their version of flatpaks out since they sound kinda assy

[turbid oriole]

I can’t even install discord on it

I am probably doing something wrong

[fossil frost]

really? discord doesnt provide an rpm package?

[turbid oriole]

Idk I just went on their site and it gave me a deb file but I assume that won’t work

[fossil frost]

deb is debian/ubuntu

[turbid oriole]

I know, that’s why

[fossil frost]

you CAN get discord via flatpak too, which runs on anything

[turbid oriole]

Google failed to tell me anything so I wasn’t made aware of that

[whole swallow]

yea, if there's no flatpak for it you can add the snap repository to fedora

google is...sometimes not great for figuring out basic Linux things

[fossil frost]

sorry, i meant flatpak

[turbid oriole]

Neither am I

[fossil frost]

https://flathub.org/apps/com.discordapp.Discord

[turbid oriole]

Joyous

[fossil frost]

https://flathub.org/setup <<< setup flatpak on your system, then install discord via flatpak

[whole swallow]

I've found it can be a coinflip on whether you get a good answer or some weird rabbit hole of cmd line stuff that is either the "extremely convoluted way" or just not relevant

[dusky jacinth]

Hmmm... Between Fedora-based, Ubuntu-based, or something independent like Solus, which one would you recommend more for people wanting to deal with less issues as an average user?
