Nope, all the cool kids use Pandora

[frank niche]

Did they actually buy the fire truck or was it rented out just for the April 1st video

An old fire truck would be cheaper to buy than rent for a couple days

[jolly sinew]

oh you know wheres the outlet LMAO

it comes pre-built from the OEM

[hot tartan]

Yeah it’s fine

[maiden marsh]

Could buy some pc fans ig

The stock ones are not that good

personally you could buy some noctua fans

Their quiet and have incredible performance

[hot tartan]

Arctic P12 pwm pst 5 pack for 30$

A single Noctua will cost you 30$

As someone who has a system full of Noctua fans, don’t buy them

https://a.co/d/8EFUBcW

Not really

4 of them per fan yes

[scarlet breach]

so microsoft is just giving windows 11 24H2 for free now

[modern cove]

What?!?

I did not know this. Is it a free upgrade or just free for new windows users?

[scarlet breach]

Windows 10 js gave a full screen animation saying you can get win11 for free or just use win10 and not upgrade

[crystal pike]

sorry but you can literally update from windows 7 and still have a valid license for 11

[modern cove]

Ohh. So it's only if you're already on windows.

[scarlet breach]

win 10

also media creation tool just lets me do valid win10 copies for free

[hot tartan]

That’s how it’s been

[scarlet breach]

they’re tryna bring people to the future

[cobalt narwhal]

Chat its no longer april 1st and were still firefighters

[modern cove]

Ok. So I can't switch back to windows for free after I switched it to Linux.

[tough nexus]

Yeah basically the nintendo switch 2 is gonna be released on june 5 but i dont know if its for all countries or only for jp/us

This is pretty much my problem since i dont live in either of those areas and i wanna know since i want to buy one

[signal cloak]

Oh no

[covert cradle]

Installing linux doesn't void your Windows license. For OEM PCs it's stored in your mobo, for retail bought keys it's just a number that can be associated to your msft acc, or for 7->10 upgrade keys and other special circumstances it's associated with your hardware ID.

[celest wasp]

i think its safe to say nintendo just one uped the steam dech

[modern cove]

Ok. I'm switching to a SSD anyways

[next jetty]

Bloodborne 2 on switch would mean same week as release emulation on the pc

[celest wasp]

i still find it insane how elden ring is now on switch

[cobalt narwhal]

I could fix that

but rip

[next jetty]

Elden Ring isn't that demanding so not a surprise

[celest wasp]

fair, but we finally have a 4k 60fps nintendo device!

[signal cloak]

No you could not one of those pins broke off it f####

[cobalt narwhal]

Dang in that case look up the pin layout and see if its a grounding pin

[signal cloak]

It does not even turn on the psu anymore

[cobalt narwhal]

Then new motherboard time, and this time be careful

[signal cloak]

I tipped it on its side and it sliped that cost me 210 bucks

I was wondering what they gave me

[sinful pagoda]

Anyone has Apple music

[forest wedge]

Hello

Question

I have a phone that supports 45w and my laptop charger is 45w to, laptop probably supports higher charging input but since i can charger my lap and my phone with same charger i just use 45w

Can i use 65w for my phone when it only supports 45w i know it wont charge with 65w but will it damage if i use higher? That way i can charge lap with 65w and phone will charge with 45

[remote girder]

Is it just 1 port?

[forest wedge]

Ita type c

[remote girder]

Just 1 type c port?

[forest wedge]

Yes

[remote girder]

Then yes, you can charge your phone with a 65w charger.

[forest wedge]

1 port in lap or phone

Or charger

[remote girder]

All modern chargers (and phones) come with protection to prevent overcharging etc

[remote girder]

Charger

[forest wedge]

Gotcha

Yup, charger has 1 port

[remote girder]

Alright that's good.

Your phone can't physically "ask" the charger for more than the 45w max. So the charger (even though it can reach 65w) will only send a max of 45w to the phone.

If that doesn't make sense, lmk.

[forest wedge]

I see, yeah that makes sense

Just curious is it possible to break some device like phone by charging with high voltage, are there any chargers that dont have the protection built in

Also my laptop battery model name has 67wh in it

Iam guessing supports 65w

[jaunty compass]

cyberpunk is what shocked me

cyberpunk 2077 as a launch title is crazy

[celest wasp]

fr

[jaunty compass]

I know the game is actually quite well optimized now and that the switch 2 supports dlss and is probably using it for some of the more demanding games but it's still a shock

[harsh quartz]

I’m most cases, the device will pull what it needs

[harsh quartz]

Eden ring PLUS a second fromsoft game is wild

[celest wasp]

the steam deck subreddit is already going crazy trying to hate on this thing

[harsh quartz]

It’s fashionable to hate on Nintendo.

I agree, Nintendo sucks, proven by locking the GameCube and voice chat things behind paywall subscriptions, but the device and some of the games look sick

[torn imp]

[fleet stratus]

hi

[tiny halo]

No

[celest wasp]

nah its just r/steamdeck

[celest wasp]

fr, its funny though that their main arguement is that they can emulate games

even though we still dont have a stable way to emulate switch games

honest 449 for the features were getting isnt that bad

but the game prices kinda suck

luckly their porting the switch eshop library over, so i hope my digital copy of nfs hot pursuit still works

hell maybe i can play it at 1440p 100 fps

[compact zephyr]

Yeah not surprised the "firetruck" theme is sticking around after the 1st since they said something about a week of april fools

[harsh quartz]

This is debatable. But also the console pricing seems fine. 80$ for games and 90$ for physical games is bullshit but whatever ig, it was gonna happen sooner or later

[compact zephyr]

Yeah the game pricing is nuts while the Switch 2 itself is priced fine

[harsh quartz]

They’re probably doing a printer/ink thing here

[compact zephyr]

Also I am not surprised about the price of the console going up in todays market considering NGreedia is behind the tech in it

$500 or higher would have been stupid honestly

[harsh quartz]

To be entirely fair, this isn’t a switch 2 in reality, this is a handheld pc, like the others, and it’s priced similarly to the other

[digital dock]

All that space radiation, this was supposed to be a normal picture.

[celest wasp]

i think the reason the prices are super high is because of theyre new cartridges

[fierce moth]

I do believe that Nintendo is going to find out first hand that it's adapt or die with the game pricing situation
But I highly doubt every game is going to be the full 80 bucks

[tiny shell]

the real plot twist of Apple Intelligence is
they’re false advertising and meanwhile whole Apple Intelligence feature set is STILL not available in mainland China and we’re just 2 months away from iOS 19

[tiny shell]

I just realized that

[coarse cypress]

What

[blissful lily]

The ceiling

[coarse cypress]

American focused companies are more hesitant to give places like China new tech because Donald trump is their president, and he has a history of banning companies from working with China.

[tiny shell]

No I think it’s because of the Chinese government’s regulations and stuff

they have that in hongkong but not the mainland

[coarse cypress]

That aswell, its difficulties with both countries

Apple intelligence isn't much yet anywsy

[coarse cypress]

I'll never buy a Nintendo console anywzy

[sonic meteor]

Is it just me that thinks that $450 isnt even all that bad? Especially compared to the other recent consoles?

since you get the console, along with a screen and speakers that you can use on the go

(Then again if you enter the pirates den you could just get a LCD steamdeck)

[coarse cypress]

But it's a weaker handheld made by nintendo

[bitter harbor]

You don’t buy a Nintendo console for the hardware. That hasn’t been true for decades. You buy it for the games.

Look at how much they got out of the switch for so long

[coarse cypress]

I've never bought a Nintendo console

[winged spire]

Another crappy Nintendo product 🌚

[bitter harbor]

I grew up with a Wii and 3DS and tried the demo units of the switch. That’s the last I had with Nintendo. But it still rings true.

[fierce moth]

Considering tariffs it's the best Nintendo could do

I'm going to purchase one regardless cause of exclusives, but a physical copy of the new Mario kart game is 115 aud which quite frankly is ridiculous

[compact zephyr]

I need to wait to see if Metroid Prime 4 Beyond has any EXTRA game content on Switch 2 VS Switch 1 MINUS the control schemes and the ability to run 4k(likely using DLSS)@60 or 1080p@120

That may very well force me to purchase a switch 2 over my current Switch 1

[fierce moth]

And there's no point avoiding the obvious, the switch 2 is going to get hacked eventually

[compact zephyr]

With the "Formsoftware" exclusive game coming to it there will likely be a Switch 2 emulator in the works as well

Duskblood by the way

Similar to Bloodborne and the PS4 emulator ShadPS4

[fierce moth]

Game ripping would be hard though without a hacked console
So I doubt we'd get emulators until that happens

[prime solstice]

It’s $700 Canadian for the console plus the new Mario kart or $629 Canadian just for the console so it’s not bad cause it’s the same price as a oled but a oled is cheaper than the 2

[fierce moth]

769 aud for the mk bundle for me

699 standalone

[bleak stump]

yall why when i want to call on my galaxy S21fe i got a pop up "not registered on network" or "mobile network not avaliable" like what do you mean??? and also i dont have signal for past like 5 days i think, wifi works but i cant turn on mobile internet and i cant call on phone app

had this phone for like 2 and a half years

[bleak stump]

no, thats only 4% of people using linux distro's on desktop pc but what about android users? playstation runs on linux i think and like 90% of other devices that dont run on windows or macos

so its gotta be like 80% of people in the world using linux right now

[vapid smelt]

I use chrome os, android and steam os

[bleak stump]

which are all linux 😭

[bitter harbor]

Android is not Linux

[jaunty compass]

those bastards region locked it

[bleak stump]

not exactly but its built on linux

[vapid smelt]

Android is a operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel

[jaunty compass]

I see why they're trying to stop people from taking advantage of the yen being weak but region locking is horrible and i hate it

[bleak stump]

he aint understand that tho

[jaunty compass]

but i got a super cheap switch oled by buying a jpn system so i can see why they did it

[bleak stump]

btw nobody aint answering to what i asked yall

[hasty sphinx]

eyo i didnt know that ltt had a discord damn..

[bleak stump]

.

[twin verge]

Can someone explain to me why we are paying 30%+ more for a Switch 2 and games just so they can subsidise cheap consoles and games in Japan which are then region locked so noone else can use them?

[bleak stump]

these days everything's got discord 💀

[hasty sphinx]

frrrrrrrrr

[bitter harbor]

Just checked and that is right. My bad

[bleak stump]

i guess i will have to get a phone then right?

[vapid smelt]

They do?

[hasty sphinx]

idk u tell. meee

[bitter harbor]

LTT is propaganda made up by big Canada to sell deskpads and screwdrivers

[pallid falcon]

It means your carrier does not have you on the network, you should call your mobile carrier if your bills are paid to date

[bitter harbor]

Get warshipped lol

[hasty sphinx]

yeah wtf is that i cant do caps?

[bitter harbor]

Nope

[hasty sphinx]

well i said eariler i hate that i agree with you onn that

[bleak stump]

i dont have anything to pay you just pay for credit like 5 bucks when you need credit and you have it thats it

i popped the card outta my phone and put it back in

and it seems to work now, anyways if it doesnt work tmrw durin the day imma just get a new phone

like i got this phone for almost 3 years

recommend me some android phones in 300-350$ budget

used obviously

[vapid smelt]

We don't like being yelled at

[hasty sphinx]

well that was my excited tone lmao

[bleak stump]

nah fr recommend me some phones

and also its gotta be samsung

i aint gettin no xiaomi and honor or xinxingiji chinese phones

[atomic flame]

We need an ltt video where it's switching from one form of android to another

[bleak stump]

isnt that just installing a custom rom?

[atomic flame]

Nah like one UI to whatever Google calls their skin

Or whatever xiaomi uses to one ui

[bleak stump]

that is a custom rom

i installed google pixel experience android 11 on galaxy S6 and it ran flawlessly until i clicked some random things in settings and bricked the phone

idk if its soft bricked but it aint turnin on when i put it on charger

[atomic flame]

You're not wrong but I mean like the experience wise. I mean it was interesting when Linus went to iOS and Andy and tynan went to android

I don't think the other dude understands what I'm trying to conceive lol

[manic torrent]

Whatever is good second hand/refurb

[hasty sphinx]

xiaomi mi 13

ofc used

[bleak stump]

that phone is so ahhh

its xiaomi lol

im looking for samsung

[coarse cypress]

Bloodborne 2 is a fucking switch 2 exclusive

[hearty spear]

but if you look at it that way:
MAC OS Is just BSD, and shouldn't be labeled as Mac in charts

[eager notch]

My PC setup uses 25 watts doing literally nothing, as in everything is turned OFF

[noble radish]

If you already are dead set on Samsung, then might aswell just search ebay

Search for the newest, and go down in versions until the price fits

[bleak stump]

i mean obviously

im not getting a new phone

[eager notch]

You can probably get an S23 with a warranty included

[noble radish]

I personally got the Google Pixel 6A new at 330€ would buy again

But idk about newer pixels

Last time i checked they got more expensive

[bleak stump]

pixel's are not flagships and you cannot change my mind

[noble radish]

Also, if you just want a new phone cuz of android updates, check for custom roms.

[bleak stump]

their cpus are really bad

[bleak stump]

im good with roms but i dont think it would be good to do it on ur main phone

i bricked my S6 like that cus i did install pixel experience android 13 on it and it did run good but i clicked some random things in settings and then it didnt boot again

i put it on a charger and it doesnt show anything on screen anymore

[noble radish]

Eh, theyre the reasonable apple of the android world. They offer you all drivers and a full OS copy, allow you to relock the bootloader with a custom rom, and they do phone things well. (And my god, the cameras are amazing imo. I also love the speakers on the 6A)

[noble radish]

Is it a Snapdragon s6?

Or Samsung own chip?

[bleak stump]

i really dont know but i think it is snapdragon

im not sure but it ran it so good

[noble radish]

If its a Snapdragon you want to use EDL/Firehose

[bleak stump]

imagine android 13 pixel experience ran good on galaxy S6

[noble radish]

Snapdragons are essentially impossible to brick

[bleak stump]

its gotta be snapdragon

[spare lintel]

amd indeed took some marketshare on steam survey. and linux jumped once more over 2.3%

[bleak stump]

so my S21fe cannot be bricked?

[noble radish]

I ran android 10 on a S2. It ran modern apps perfectly fine

[bleak stump]

i got an idea lol

[noble radish]

Not sure about the new ones due to firehose encryption and KNOX

[bleak stump]

now that is too much

[bleak stump]

you think it cant be custom rommed?

can galaxy A70 be custom rommed? my little brother got one and if i give him my S21fe i could custom rom his phone

[noble radish]

What can i say, it works. Also Samsung was scummy with their tab a6 2016.. they put a 64bit cpu, but 32bit os.. had to slap lineage os onto it just so i could use modern apps..

[noble radish]

It probably can be custom rommed, but idk about unbrickability

[bleak stump]

it uses exynos tho

i wish i knew about custom roms when i had A50 i could've custom rom it and make it smoother

i hated that phone so much

it was so bad and so laggy

snapchat used to run like 10 fps on it

[noble radish]

My Xiaomi Pocophone F1 as example has firehose, but you needed some signed keys or whatever.. luckly the test signing keys got leaked and i have fully working edl/firehose on that thing. I can theoretically wipe and reinstall the whole flash and it should be fine (ofc could be screwed anyway)

Older mediatek cpus kinda drop you into a low level debugging state as far as i understand?

I got it explained that the mediateks tend to just start executing code you send them via usb in that mode, but idk tbh

[bleak stump]

btw imma wait for oneui 7 and see how well it runs on this S21fe

i cant wait to see if its actually gonna change something

it does run smooth asf on S25

[noble radish]

Afaik there are a few exynos roms, but the issue is mainly no kernel upgrades due to no driver source

[bleak stump]

exynos is so bad bro i cant believe how could they make cpus that bad and sell them

its bad for everything

[noble radish]

Changelog:
-more bloat
-more spyware
-more useless preinstalled apps

• -5GB storage (reserved for OS)

[bleak stump]

you cant emulate games, install custom roms, play games, not overheat

[bleak stump]

+a lot better animations

[bleak stump]

i expected that tho

why are they sellin phones with 128gb of storage in 2025 like shouldnt 256 be a standard now?

[noble radish]

I mean, the pixel 6 series uses google tensor, which is just a rebranded exynos.. its a bit better than the Snapdragon 845, but in wierd ways. Its definitely more power efficient, unless i enable 5G. Then it starts overheating and draining the battery. Lucky u could live perfectly fine on 3G if that still existed here..

[noble radish]

For all i care: animations = bloat

[bleak stump]

5G lol that doesnt exist in my country Serbia's left behind

when yall get 6G we will get 5G

[noble radish]

I dont need some fancy wipe motion, just immediately snap to what i clicked, i dont wanna wait for you to load an animation, then load the app, then some other crappy animation inside the app, then the content ..

[noble radish]

Yeah im surprised germany is ahead of anyone tbh... Internet were usually the last ones.. anyway

[covert cradle]

Do you play heavy mobile games or something? As someone that doesn't, mobile cpus stopped mattering like 4-6 generations ago to me lol.

[bleak stump]

i think my phone does support 5g right?

[bleak stump]

nah but i want my phone to be smooth and fast asf

i aint wanna be oppening tiktok and lag

[covert cradle]

that has been the case with mid-range mobile cpus for generations now

[noble radish]

Yeah. Like i could still comfortably run my poco f1 (snapdragon 845) or hell, i could make due with my S2 if app developers and web devs wouldn't be so lazy or so rushed

[bleak stump]

mid drange phone is not my option

like i am NOT buying an A series phone

[noble radish]

I don't think tiktok would lag on a S10..

[covert cradle]

My point is that a mid-range CPU on an otherwise flagship is perfectly fine in this day and age

[bleak stump]

big ahh besels, no samsung dex, bad 6 random cameras, lagging after a year, cheap phone

[bleak stump]

sure

but i would rather run an older flagship cpu than new mid range cpu

snapdragon 888 is probably more powerful than samsung's most powerful mid range cpu

[vapid smelt]

I care more about os support

[covert cradle]

I would not. I'd rather have support lifetime than performance that is meaningless to me

[noble radish]

Have you seen modern budget phones? They all look the same, big bezels are a thing of the past (controversial: sadly)

[covert cradle]

My 6a still opens all apps instantaneously and literally has never lagged under any circumstances

[bleak stump]

still a no, there's a reason why those are budget phones and theres a reason theyre put it in a A series lineup like i want an S series proper flagship phone

[noble radish]

I mean, id take community and open source support over manufacturer support. (Poco F1 my beloved)

[bleak stump]

S22 ultra would EAT any mid range

i use proton VPN and its fine tbh i recommend it

[noble radish]

The reason is that it doesn't have a fancy name, and does what a normal phone does in a way a older flagship did. Tech gets cheaper, so they can stuff better tech into cheaper phones

[hot tartan]

I’d stick with mullvad

[noble radish]

I host my own vpns lmao

Wireguard ftw

[bleak stump]

okay what the fuck

now this is some level 3 nerd

im often called a nerd for some reason but you, youre on next level

[hot tartan]

You torrenting? Piracy? Anything like that I’m sticking w mullvad

[noble radish]

You just rent a cheapo virtual private server somewhere and install and configure wireguard/openvpn

[hot tartan]

Stick w mullvad

[vapid smelt]

I run it raw when doing that

[bleak stump]

bahdbadha using vpn for torrent what are you afraid of? some random russian comming to your house lol nobody aint gonna come chill

[hot tartan]

Menace

[hot tartan]

Piracy laws

[bleak stump]

never heard about that

nah that actually exists?

im then in some deep shit i've installed like 100s of games and movies that way without vpn

[noble radish]

Skill issue. Piracy in germany is legal, but uploading is illegal. Thats why my torrent clients are configured with 0KB up

[covert cradle]

a good amount of US ISPs do respect the DMCA trolls that report the IPs they see on torrents. My ISP throttles you and eventually cuts your service if they receive them

[bleak stump]

thank god Serbia is left behind

we will be able to install pirated stuff next 50 years and then they will realise that piracy is illegal

[noble radish]

Piracy aint illegal in many countries

Is it immoral? Possibly

[bleak stump]

amm im not paying 1$ for graphics mod in assetto corsa lol

i got it for free like all people do

[hot tartan]

It’s illegal in mine so best believe I’m not fucking w the law

[bleak stump]

i did pay for the game and dlcs tho

[noble radish]

L government

[hot tartan]

But I’ve got private trackers anyways, I’m not too worried

[bleak stump]

i didnt read the message at first

tought it said sum different

[noble radish]

I pay for games i actually play, but i pirate them anyway afterwards, because that way i can run the games on offline devices, and i also have the added benefit of the DRM not eating away so much performance.

[bleak stump]

i do pay for games sometimes, i bought rdr2, gta 5, minecraft, assetto corsa, fortnite skins and save the world, pokemon go balls, cs2 skins

but i did pirate many different games

[noble radish]

And no "just take the device online for the install" isnt valid when the goal machine is insecure. Sure i run windows 95 online to this day, but that's different

[noble radish]

I dont buy skins and useless crap. I dont condone such behavior

"skin culture" as ive heard it being called is imo worse than piracy ngl

[bleak stump]

i did buy cs2 skins cus you can use them and then sell them and buy different games for that money

so its basically just saving money on your inventory and then buying games or dlcs for games with them

[noble radish]

Ig, but if i wanna gamble i go to a casino or the stock/Bitcoin market

[bleak stump]

about fortnite skins.... i've been playing that game for like 7 years now so yeah

i got like 105 or 110 skins i think

and im NOT buying more

[noble radish]

I got 1

The default skin.

[vapid smelt]

You paid money for skins ?

[noble radish]

Since like, 6-8 years .

I dont use the in-game currency at all

I just shoot people and trashtalk em

[bleak stump]

105 or 110 skins like characters i got also like 80 90 pickaxe's and then i got like 150 contrails and abt 150 emotes and i got about 100 gliders

some of those were free

[noble radish]

Thats what a online shooter is all about

[bleak stump]

a lot of those were battlepass

[bleak stump]

sadly yes i did

i dont do that anymore

[bleak stump]

u actually good or?

[noble radish]

.. ..

No, but details

Doesn't stop me from trash talking them

[bleak stump]

i was close to winning a duo cash cup

but didnt

so i got 0$ earned and a lot spent

[noble radish]

I was good at Rainbow Six and CS:GO, but i haven't played in forever

[vapid smelt]

Did you calculate how much you spent yet

[noble radish]

Last time i tried i couldn't get back into it

[bleak stump]

no i didnt

you cant really calculate it cus i dont know how much things i gifted to someone or how much vbucks i bought

but you can calculate like aproximately

and it is probably about 100-150$ i think

so a massive waste of money

now i got those skins laying in my locker for nothing

and game is so bad i dont even play it anymore

[vapid smelt]

I spent well over $1k in war thunder over the last 10 years

[sonic meteor]

uh

Alrighty then

Nintendo has a plan to challenge Switch 2 scalpers. It's limiting its own preorders to Switch 1 owners that have an active Switch Online membership and have "spent a certain amount of time playing purchased / paid Nintendo Switch games, prioritizing those with more playtime."

Nope and I'm always told to defend it to

But the cool premiums!

[noble radish]

I have the french F2222, brick is all i need

[bitter harbor]

What else could they do to slow down scalpers?

[noble radish]

Physical offline stores could help

[bitter harbor]

You haven’t seen what happened outside of Microcenters when the 9070XT launched have you?

[winged spire]

the sony direct preorder of the PS5 was flawless

I got there 4 full hours after the orders opened, leasurely checked out

no issues

[noble radish]

Yeah i didnt, i dont USA. We don't have those here. We have many small shops. And better to stand in line than buy from a scalper.

[bitter harbor]

People just bought them and listed them in the parking lot.

[noble radish]

-> running a stand without permit

Nice legal action :)

Afaik, youre not allowed to open a "shop" with some sort of stock without a permit, no?

[bitter harbor]

By listing I mean on Fb Marketplace and such

[noble radish]

Ah.

I mean an another good way is to just have enough stock-

[bitter harbor]

I’m sure Nintendo wants that as well already

But it is clear that this is not the case

[calm swan]

the price is such a turnoff for me, hopefully their game prices don't go up to $80 as well

[compact zephyr]

Ehh about that MArio KArt World $80 digital+$90 physical(this is in euro tho apparently)

[calm swan]

3d mario is next

[viscid elm]

[calm swan]

then zelda then the whole game industry follows suit

hopefully the switch 2 game upgrade thing is cheap

You know it’s very interesting to me how so many people will say something like their throat hurts and then do nothing about it.

Not saying that you are doing this, but it’s just an interesting phenomenon that I’ve noticed

Seems to happen a lot with people who don’t seem to understand the consequences of ignoring medical issues either that or there’s some sort of cognitive block in being proactive with health and stuff

Same thing with a lot of tech issues actually. People will just let things go and go and go and go until there’s a catastrophic failure and then they’re up the creek without a paddle.

It’s like a mechanism failing to engage

Used Honda civic for 15K or a Tesla for 15K down and 15% APR for 72 months?

As a first car as a college student

[winged spire]

15% is crazy lmao

Is this bait

15% for 72m ????

Civics are nice

Car market is a shitshow right now though… I’d wait as long as possible

[crude vortex]

what year is the used civic from

[eager notch]

Tesla obviously

/s

[wheat karma]

2014

[supple pawn]

15k for a 2014? What does it have, 4k miles?

[gilded quest]

Bro what the fuck

15% apr for 72 months is lunacy. Take the Honda or anything else

[supple pawn]

Also, 15% apr?

[crude vortex]

yeah no civic is not a good deal then

[wheat karma]

What about a 2021 Buick with 30K miles, clean sheet, mint condition for $15K?

[gilded quest]

What does Buick even make these days

How is Buick still a brand worth having

[crude vortex]

yes

[gilded quest]

They have 4 vehicles

All crossover/suvs

What makes it different than a chevy

[pliant karma]

suprised they're still alive lol

[wheat karma]

Yep. I really liked that car. It’s just that a few American friends of mine said to never buy American

[crude vortex]

😭where you from?australia?

[wheat karma]

More premium. In terms of luxury it’s Chevy < Buick < Cadillac

[gilded quest]

It has to be old people

[wheat karma]

No the US. But I’m an international student from India

[crude vortex]

im from india too lol

[gilded quest]

I'll be honest
Is it actually more premium than a premium trim chevy

[wheat karma]

But honestly being an Indian we say the same thing about Indian cars lol

[crude vortex]

real

indian car market is fucked imo

pay so many taxes and then cry in a 110 HP car

[wheat karma]

Nah. But this was a premium trim Buick - so muhh leather seats lol

[crude vortex]

you've managed to get a license?

[wheat karma]

And apple car play which isn’t a dealbreaker honestly

[quartz maple]

at least the car is good on gas right?

[gilded quest]

Chevy could do a leather trim and boom, Buick is dead

[wheat karma]

Yes and no. I passed the written test - but the DMV told me I don’t need a permit to drive because I have a valid foreign license which I’ve held for 8 years

[crude vortex]

not really,they dont have very good driving dynamics

[wheat karma]

So once I buy the car I’ll give the skills test and register it. Until then temp resignation

[crude vortex]

how long have you been in the US?

[wheat karma]

8 years lol

[crude vortex]

holy shi

[wheat karma]

I’ll be here for 6 more at least

[crude vortex]

can i add you😭

[wheat karma]

Once my passport is renewed I’m honestly applying for an EB1 green card

[crude vortex]

No. Did my undergrad here. Masters and now a PhD

[crude vortex]

[crude vortex]

[crude vortex]

what field are you in?IT?

[wheat karma]

Nah. Healthcare.

[winged spire]

What’s your publication on

[wheat karma]

It’s a health publication on sleep and depression in college students

[crude vortex]

oh,yeah i would suggest dont come back,the lifestyle you have in the US,it will take years to have the same in india

[winged spire]

I sleep a solid 4 hours a night lmao

[crude vortex]

Healthcare professionals are exploited in india literally

[wheat karma]

Yeah - we found interesting results. 1st years sleep the least, 4th years sleep the least too. But - first years experience the most stress and depression unlike 4th years

It was a nationwide study across 25 colleges in the United States

[gilded quest]

You should try sleeping a gaseous 4 hours a night

[winged spire]

That definitely makes sense

Tracks with what I’ve seen personally

[wheat karma]

Yeah. I self taught myself R to run the analysis

But then I also added statistics as my second masters because I loved R

So I completed 3 masters degrees simultaneously

[karmic wedge]

so if I'm not American, these 32% tariffs from Taiwan don't affect me unless the product had touched the US?

so if it's a US AIB, like PNY, there is a tariff?

[gilded quest]

Answer: nobody knows tbh

Companies may use it as an excuse to raise prices elsewhere

For regions receive product that is imported to the US first

[karmic wedge]

Cause at least right now, PC Parts heading to NZ usually go via Australia first

I'm just wondering if the component company is actually headquarted in America

[gilded quest]

Example would be like Canada or Mexico where a lot of the product goes through US ports

[gilded quest]

Country of origin is where something is made, not where the company has headquarters

[karmic wedge]

so Taiwan -> Australia -> NZ is practically gonna be the same?

[gilded quest]

In theory yes, in practice who knows

[vapid smelt]

@winged spire https://youtu.be/o5YhUNX-F-M when was the last time you did your tesla oil change?

[winged spire]

lol

every 300 miles!!!

its crazy how many people think EVs need less maintaince

every 300-500 miles you need to add your electron lubricant or else they get all jammed up

[vapid smelt]

and that $30 filter

[winged spire]

yeah but fr you dont change that

allegedly the oil lasts the life of the motors

whats that board for?

[vapid smelt]

reads the current in the oil

[winged spire]

ah right

[grim belfry]

Tesla Instant Oil subscription

[winged spire]

yeah it turns on a light

my car has the original oil and 65k miles

its not the same as an ICE car

[vapid smelt]

i thought you would after 100k or so miles hmm

[vapid smelt]

change the filter on the cyber truck more often in cases of off-road or dirt road driving. also driving off road can void your warranty

[vapid smelt]

ah so the tesla oil filter is a real thing they have it on newer models

[winged spire]

thats what I was saying

my '21 model 3 has one

its just lublicating a gearbox

[glass zenith]

Wait

They make off road car and you can void warranty doing it?

[vapid smelt]

[undone mountain]

30 bucks should I buy it?

Like for the lols

Not exactly 30 since 1usd us 56php but let's just round it up

[winged spire]

cybertruck is a pavement princess

[winged spire]

which warranty is that

basic vehicle coverage or the drivetrain/battery warranty

[winged spire]

yeah thats like the manufacturers warranty

your battery and motors are on a seperate warranty

Meanwhile my girlfriend’s Subaru had no problem with this:

[grim belfry]

SubUwU

[polar fern]

Fairly loose soil and no, those aren’t the tire tracks from her car. Car is parked behind me tho

Regular all season EV tires

[alpine gale]

👀

EV tyres, as in Electric Vehicle tyres, as in... is this a Solterra? And if it is, how doth ye like it? (I fear the days of my current SubUwU are numbered. Something something it likely has one of the FB20 engines known to destroy themselves.)

[polar fern]

No. 🤓

It a plug in

[alpine gale]

Oh, so a Crosstrek Hybrid? (Unless I missed another PHEV they've released...)

[polar fern]

It gets between 38 and 52 miles per gallon, depending on driving conditions and stuff

Mhm

[alpine gale]

For 2019, the Crosstrek received Eyesight on all models equipped with the CVT transmission. The Hybrid trim was reintroduced as a Plug-in Hybrid, based on the Toyota Prius Prime's Hybrid system. Power was reduced to 148 hp (150 PS; 110 kW), and combined MPG was increased to 35 mpg‑US (6.7 L/100 km; 42 mpg‑imp). Subaru claimed a range of 17 miles (27 km) for all-electric driving.
Oh. Oh I see. Didn't realize they based the 2019 models on the good Prius system. I don't like to buy cars brand new (something about immediately losing 5-15% of a vehicle's value the moment you drive it off the lot, and also I don't like the idea of dropping close to $50K Canadian on a vehicle), so unless the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid has something crazy good to offer... I might have to look for a used 2019 model. Especially because I'd basically only ever use the Electric Motors in town, which means super cheap operating costs.

[sharp cradle]

prius lowkey goated

[agile flint]

I've currently got 4 cars, for a total cost of under 50k cad lol

About to add another 2 that will break that barrier tho.

[sharp cradle]

actually has a good CVT, well E-CVT, not that bad to drive and pretty comfortable

[agile flint]

Will do 102mph (allegedly)

A 2019 prime will, at least.

[sharp cradle]

what cars ya got

gen 3 prius can do above 100 also allegedly

[agile flint]

• 2021 Toyota Tacoma (mid travel, full armour, snorkeled)
• 2004 Crown Vic
• 2006 Nissan Sentra
• 2001 Jetta TDI
  In process of buying
• 2015 Camry LE
• 1981 BMW 328

[sharp cradle]

nah calling cap on all that for 50k cad

howd you manage that lol, the tacoma is worth more 😭

[agile flint]

Tacoma was 39k cad with my employee discount.

Crown Vic was 500 bucks (needed a ton of work, I have my own shop)

Sentra was 500 bucks (same deal)

Jetta was free (someone abandoned it on my property, filed abandoned vehicle paperwork to claim)

Jetta is a giant piece of shit lol don't get me wrong it's not roadworthy in the slightest.

[sharp cradle]

damn

[agile flint]

Trying to buy the Camry and the e30 for around 12k combined, Camry will likely replace the Sentra as my partner's daily driver, e30 Will either become a quick flip or a track car, depending on how attached I get

[marsh oyster]

@agile flint crown vics are literally indestructible, i daily drive a 95 i got it for free.

[agile flint]

My 04 is my late granddads old car he ordered brand new- passed in 2020 and I just got my hands on it after it sat (estate problems). Been restoring it over the winter.

[alpine gale]

Like most Camry's, that Camry will likely outlive you, assuming it was taken care of.

[agile flint]

Would probably buy a second one for my partner but I dont trust her driving something RWD in the snow, lol.

[agile flint]

Yeah, it's only got 30k km on it. 4 cyl, base model.

[marsh oyster]

when my crown vic doesnt work anymore imma just get a corolla, camry is overrated ngl (also means its higher priced even used old one) no one likes corollas for some reason

[agile flint]

Camry makes a lot more sense for us because we plan to have kids at some point in the not too distant future.

Tacoma pic tax. I help run a non profit doing trail cleanup across Ontario. 100k miles of this stuff over the last 4 years.

[alpine gale]

I'd buy a Toyota Corolla hatchback in a heartbeat... if they had an AWD model with 8+ inchs of ground clearance.

[agile flint]

Corrola cross technically fits the bill, but I also don't like them so don't worry

I only have one pic of my crown Vic on this phone so uhhh good nuf

And the Sentra if you. Have a desire to see that for some reason.

[vapid smelt]

i have a deep hatred for them bed covers

[agile flint]

I sleep in it in the summer.

Can sorta see my bed in this picture lol

And in the winter it's useful for making sure loads stay contained within the bed.

[vapid smelt]

i load furniture and appliances in customers trucks and things just dont fit well in them

[agile flint]

Yeah fair enough I can see that being irritating

Most people don't need a truck and won't swallow their pride and get a minivan

Most people don't actually use a truck for truck things... I am a exception to that rule lol. Last 3 pics are from the last 2 days.

[marsh oyster]

@agile flint i love the color of that sentra, bright yellow, i would totally drive that ngl

[agile flint]

Bought it from a little old lady with only 28k km on it. Nice lil car. Works well for my partner. It's pre cvt too, got a traditional 4 speed auto. Far from my favorite transmission, way better than the new ones.

[marsh oyster]

yeah thats when nissan was good, cvt's are what killed nissan

[agile flint]

Ya, I had a 05 Sentra in high school, basically the same car as this, hand me down from my brother. Went 300k miles before some moron tboned me.

That one was a 5 speed manual though. Wish this one had the manual.

[marsh oyster]

i got a jep patriot in my backyard awaiting for junkyard pickup, it has 250k miles (shockingly) on the original CVT too, but the engine is very worn out, but it actually shifts just fine. it has the jatco nissan cvt.

[agile flint]

They'll either go forever or die immediately

[marsh oyster]

im not the original owner but im sure it has the original CVT cause no records of it ever of it being replced or serviced, but i must of been very lucky ha

[agile flint]

My buddies Altima is at 350k km and he beats the living shit out of it. No idea how, it's on original fluids too. Meanwhile my other friends just went out at 41k km lol

[marsh oyster]

cvt lottery i guess lol

some made decent, most made poorly

[sinful nebula]

Hello gang

[sonic meteor]

Having a nissan CVT go 250k miles has got to be some kind of divine joke

[torn elbow]

[polar fern]

@alpine gale

[alpine gale]

Lovely! This is gonna make me go on an unattainable quest to find one locally.

[polar fern]

So I think over the four model years they were produced, only about 10,000 were made total, if not less.

For comparison about 127,000 Crosstrek were sold in 2021 alone

[alpine gale]

Yeah I saw they mostly made these for markets where they were required to hit "eco" targets by law. (So like... 3 states or something. 🤣)

[polar fern]

California, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey I believe

I actually know exactly where this car was originally sold, and it had one owner before us and I know where they live currently did all the research because it was such a rare find.

Very small world type of stuff

we live in Pennsylvania, but they weren’t sold in Pennsylvania

and you actually had to order these directly through the dealer - they didn’t have them on the lots just ready for anyone to buy

They were sold in New Jersey, which means that when we need it serviced more than just regular stuff like brakes and oil change we actually take it over to New Jersey because the technicians there are trained on them

One of the quirks about this particular model is that because it has electric drive mode where the internal combustion engine shuts off using the same oil change interval means that you’re actually changing the oil earlier than it needs to which means that the engine should last a lot longer

In addition because it has a electromechanical cvt and not one with a belt, it should hypothetically last an incredibly long time

Ah I didn't realize they had switched to eCVT's in that model. One thing that does dissuade me from a Hybrid is that many mechanics indeed aren't trained to service them, or are straight up afraid to out of fear they'll break something they can't fix. (Understandable.)

I think I just need to go see if mine can be fixed (for less than the cost of an engine rebuild), then decide to either ride it into the sun over the next 5-10 years, or sell it and upgrade. Again.

[vapid smelt]

and since its a compact suv with awd its under the light truck epa loophole

[manic torrent]

That isn't how oil changes work

[shut lichen]

So you want a corolla with the ground clearance of a Hilux?

Or a Corolla Cross with a 2 inch lift

[toxic crown]

New here, just browsing around.

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[alpine gale]

Look, if I could find a quality used Hilux where I live, I'd just buy that instead. Even before the Whistlin Diesel video I knew they were built like tanks. Old coworker rolled his, had the body straightened out and glass replaced, still drives it today.

[fossil frost]

about 15-20 years ago, Top Gear in the UK parked one on top of a building that was about to be demolished (by explosives), and then blew the building up... with the hilux still on it.. when they dug the car out, it was dented up, and had thrown a couple of hoses from under the car, but, with about 20 minutes worth of work, it just started up and was able to move

im pretty sure it was a cold weather modded hilux they took to the north pole too

[obtuse dew]

Should i buy rx 9070 xt or non xt. Because the non xt is almost 150 euros cheaper where i live.

[fossil frost]

buy whichever you want/need, its entirly up to you to justify your own purchases

[obtuse dew]

No i mean

with price to performance

ive seen the diffrence

is it really that worth it

[fossil frost]

its entirely subjective.. if you dont need the extra performance, its not worth it, if you do need the extra performance, then its worth any amount of money, because you NEED it...

if you want/need the XT, then the extra money is worth it, if you dont, then its not

[obtuse dew]

Fair enough that makes sense

Well i mabey want to hop on some 4k gaming so that extra power whould be nice

4k 60 fps is enough for me

even 1440p 60

all good

[fossil frost]

then you have already made your decision for yourself then 😄 the XT is more poweful, and is more likely to do what it is you want, which makes the money worth it

[obtuse dew]

Wanna see my parts list

Btw i was in the ZTT server before. And everytime i tried to help someone, ppl whoould just rip me off and say i know nothing about tech etc.

[fossil frost]

not really, ive just found out that the miro boards at work are not account protected 😄 and are open to the public, so im jumping into incognito mode and drawing... "things" on the boards in places where they wont be noticed immediately 😄

[obtuse dew]

uh, what? what do you mean?

[fossil frost]

miro is a planning tool for planning software development.. you can create boards where people dont need an account to access them... some idiot where i work, has done that for the project we are working on.. so im going to anonymously draw dicks on it

[obtuse dew]

Its just a pcpp list.

is that too much?

[wanton remnant]

Hi everyone!

[plain girder]

hi

how are you

[twilit pawn]

You lost "the game"

[fossil frost]

price to performance is only a valid metric when comparing products that have comparable performance or comparable price... ie. comparing 2 GPUs that both have the same performance, then the price to performance matters... whether paying a higher price or not is "worth it" for any given component that you are not comparing like for like, is entirely subjective... as in "is 150 extra worth it for 9070 vs 9070xt" is entirely dependant on whether you need that extra performance, making it entirely subjective... the price to performance for a 7600x is incredible.. but it doesnt matter how good that price to performance is, if you need 16 cores instead of 6, if you need 16 cores, the relatively worse price to performance of the 7950x is still a better value... so yes.. its entirely subjective, because what is "worth it" is dependant on more than just what a given amount of performance costs

price to performance, is one of many factors, and probably the one that matters the least

so i should buy a worse product, just because its price to performance is better?

im speaking in general, not specifically the example given

then you do exactly that, nobody is stopping you

[fossil frost]

imagine being so incredibly stupid that you dont understand what subjective and objective mean 🙂

[viscid elm]

Used dlss 4?

What gpu and what game

What res

Dlss is best for 4k, at 1440p it's fine enough but what issues did you have

So upgrade from 5090 to?

[fossil frost]

lets not feed the attention seeking troll any longer 🙂

[viscid elm]

Fine, I anyways need to run for tye ice-cream in my backpack

[fossil frost]

im off too, got to walk the dogs 🙂

<@&750150305383186585> troll, i would also look at the warship logs for the word they just used in place of this too

Who!

[zenith marten]

what yall think about the Valve legal case

[manic torrent]

I only know about the steam deck case

[grim belfry]

The legal one or the illegal one?

[zinc pumice]

thanks

[wanton remnant]

Is this discord moderated?

[bitter harbor]

Well that’s an intro I did not expect.

[wanton remnant]

It's a very good question imo because tech chat seems to be unmoderated.

[bitter harbor]

It is specified in rules. If you think that moderation action should come rn. You can use “@ mod” (don’t use the spaces when pinging that is just by me to not ping them here).

[plain gale]

Why do you think so?

[wanton remnant]

Thank you.

[hollow scroll]

With new tarrifs will ltt merch stop being sent through the usa to be sent world wide?

[hot tartan]

🤷

[radiant plover]

well.... for once i really hope that this is fake.... https://bsky.app/profile/dansinker.com/post/3llunnyfeoj2v

[hollow scroll]

Will you shut up about your link

[radiant plover]

nope

[hot tartan]

Dog it’s AIs doing math for tariffs, no one really cares

[glass quartz]

hey

[pallid falcon]

no, they just have mods for no reason

[full fossil]

hi

[jaunty compass]

I finally put together that computer for the co-workers grandkid

For a more budget machine, this actually ended up looking really nice

[viscid elm]

pleas do not tell me you put in a LP gpu into a normal size case

or at least tell me a good reason for why it has been done

[jaunty compass]

Find me another 4060 for $150

[sonic meteor]

Woag

[viscid elm]

o wow was it used?

[jaunty compass]

Yeah

[viscid elm]

even used that feels dam low

[jaunty compass]

A 4060 is like 300+ new of course it was used

This model of the card is like $350 new

[viscid elm]

o well if it works it works

[jaunty compass]

Yeah, the budget was kinda tight

[jaunty compass]

Budget was $700 after taxes

[viscid elm]

o wow managed ddr5

best part about the 13400f is that its not even real 13th gen

[dull granite]

hi americans

feel sorry for y'all

cuz pc parts bout to rise by 33% for you

unless your dear president's insane ideas get blocked by someone that's not a total dumbass

I don't wanna get political but 32% tarrifs on taiwan???

[hot tartan]

Rule 4

[grim belfry]

It does get pretty bad sometimes

[lapis solstice]

iirc, semiconductors are excluded

[dull granite]

whoa really

then it's not as bad then

[dull granite]

talking about a policy change that could highly affect the tech industry in america

not politics themselves

[tiny halo]

Kek

[neon mesa]

Is there really no way to connect galaxy watch 5 to iOS

[grim belfry]

Don’t think so

[neon mesa]

I'm switching right now, for a challenge

[grim belfry]

Not since 3 classic

[neon mesa]

And I'm already having a ruff time

Not being able to use my GW might be quite the unexpected deal breaker

[gilded quest]

With how locked down iOS is regarding 3rd party watches, I can't blame Samsung and others for skipping iOS compatibility

[neon mesa]

no quick share too for sharing between phone and windows pc :(

[soft rampart]

guys is this true? 'installing your operating system (OS) and programs on separate SSDs can offer benefits like increased performance, easier maintenance, and potentially faster boot times, especially with modern SSDs.'

[neon mesa]

maybe i'm blaming iOS too much for me being too rooted in the other side's ecosystem

the walled garden really is a double edged sword

i don't think i can last the month challenge

FaceID is really fkn nice though

the face scan on my samsung is a piece of shit

[eager notch]

I'm more annoyed about the end of de minimus

[dull granite]

the de minimus?

never heard of it,
whats that

[gilded quest]

The main benefit is you can reinstall windows without having to wipe all your games/programs/media/etc

With modern nvme SSDs, the boot times and performance is a non-issue

[eager notch]

Basically that low value orders under$800 USD don't have to go through the brokerage process and are tariff free

[dull granite]

oh

wait they removed it?
damn

[eager notch]

Yep

[grim belfry]

Intel unison

[soft rampart]

i see

[dusky jacinth]

Ngl I forgot about that one.

[harsh quartz]

I looked into it for a while, with my watch 5 pro, and I never figured it out. Why? Because fuck you buy our product

[neon mesa]

yeaaaa i'm selling the 14PM for a Fold 5 fck it

[harsh quartz]

I loved that 5 pro and it’s just not useful with an iPhone

[neon mesa]

can't use APKs too :(

not even for piracy

i am using an LLM Wrapper that's only on android through apk

[gilded quest]

I mean, I'm not sure what you expect with iOS

[neon mesa]

i figured after dunking apple for so long i need to actually try it

[gilded quest]

Of course android packages won't run on iOS

And vice versa

[strange elk]

No

Best run off a floppy disk if you want that

[terse maple]

hi guys

[pallid falcon]

hi

[polar fern]

@manic torrent ? When the internal combustion engine is not running, why would it be adding mileage hours to the oil?

[modern cove]

So. I met a electrician today who likes LTT. unfortunately I wasn't able to sell him a backpack.

Which got me thinking 🤔 is it possible for LTT to have a referral program?

[twin verge]

I need advice about making a media player/server PC which is the best channel to ask in?

[modern cove]

Probably #1106613567966429224

[winged spire]

TikTok is banned tomorrow again lmao

Finally

[strange elk]

The important issues

[polar fern]

So tired

What issues are important?

APKs are a godsend for android users

[cerulean bronze]

my cat used to be able to fit under my couch as a kitten. now she can't fit in her cat tree house

[winged spire]

James is big

[lapis solstice]

So that 90 day extension was a joke...

[prime solstice]

My brothers cat can’t jump on our cat tree but my calico can

[winged spire]

What

The 75 day extension was.. a 75 day extension

[lapis solstice]

Oh so it was 75

[prime solstice]

Not if Amazon buys it

[winged spire]

China won’t sell the algorithm

That’s the entire issue

[prime solstice]

Yeah I was joking with my friends saying if Amazon did buy it I can’t wait to use my prime subs on TikTok

[gilded quest]

At their size I don't think it makes sense
Lttstore is still a relatively small retail outlet
