You won’t be able to take it to geeksquad until you clean the motherboard

I sure as heck wouldn’t accept it for checkin

For something simple like that, any decent geeksquad agent would do it for free

Anyone seen the new season of black mirror?

That first episode fucked me up kinda lol

[dusky jacinth]

Okay, sorry about the distracted case there.
Aaaanndd Aquatic beat me to it. You should try first cleaning up that board if possible, preferably with an air can or something. Then clean out any of your cable plugs before attempting to troubleshoot anything further.
Just to get at least one thing out of the way before focusing on everything else.

[winged spire]

Be very careful

A Toothbrush is good

[warped igloo]

hi

[winged spire]

What’s good

[tiny halo]

ho

[winged spire]

I’m distraught

The McDonald’s was out of Minecraft movie toys

I want zombie grimace

[rare otter]

I litterallt cant

[tiny halo]

I got a pink cube with a sheep inside

[winged spire]

Why

[rare otter]

I dont have the stuff and i cant buy it

Because my stepdad took my debit card

[tiny halo]

You don’t have cash?

[rare otter]

Nope

Ans now im getting cpu fan error

[tiny halo]

Or remember the CVV and other card nukbers?

[rare otter]

Nope

I cant remember that much

[tiny halo]

Wowee

I have memorised my CVV and I can just look in the bank app

[leaden orbit]

Should I:

• buy a 256gb micro SD for Kodi on my Pi 400
• use a 4gb micro SD for Kodi
• use my 32gb micro sd (which im using for Manjaro on the Pi 400) for Kodi

i can't find the 16gb micro SD rn

[tiny halo]

Buy whatever fits for your needs

[leaden orbit]

thing is they all work for me. it's just the ease of others using it that changes. for the 4gb sd, i can just use my 2tb hard drive for anything i need. for the 256gb, i don't need that extra drive, so others can use it easier (plus not go through any personal documents on there).

[rare otter]

Well your smarter than i am

[leaden orbit]

fuck it, 4gb drive.

[tiny halo]

4gbs cost about as much as 32G for me here

[leaden orbit]

i got the 4gb one from when i bought my 2ds xl

which was like... 7 years ago 💀

[winged spire]

Is anyone familiar with https://shop.allnetchina.cn/products/radxa-x2l?variant=48188282700092

[leaden orbit]

Not so fun fact: my childhood console (new Nintendo 2ds xl) is considered retro 😔

[winged spire]

That’s like what, 17? Years old at this point

[leaden orbit]

the console or me?

i got it when i was 9, im 16 now.

[winged spire]

Oh

Oh I’m thinking of the Wii

Never mind

[leaden orbit]

ah, yeah. i loved playing MKWii 🗿

[leaden orbit]

[stoic fog]

hi

[warped igloo]

hi

[winged spire]

Yo

My friend just sent me this video lmao

[stoic fog]

i have a tech question 😅, i just got ryzen 7 5800x3d paired with a rtx 4080 super, but im thinking to upgrading to am5 but cant figure out the best pairing for my gpu

[winged spire]

Do you need to upgrade?

The 5800x3d should be crushing anything

[stoic fog]

thats what i thought to but something dosednt add up

by right i should be getting 200 plus frams on marval rivals yet its feels choppy

even on the lowest settings

[winged spire]

That definitely has something else going on

[stoic fog]

thought i had some chipset or driver issuses so i just reinstalled windows fresh and installed what i needed to test it out

[winged spire]

Is it only rivals?

[warped igloo]

hmm.. should i drive 3 hours each way to microcenter next week

[stoic fog]

its most games

games that should be running hella smooth isnt

so im stumped

[vapid smelt]

|| kidding i did inspect on google and changed it||

[warped igloo]

bro is increasing it by the minute

im gonna wake up and it'll be at 1,000%

and my ram will cost $450

[vapid smelt]

i changed it , it was really 145

[warped igloo]

thats still wild

wasnt it 124% a few hours ago

[vapid smelt]

like 34 hours ago?

[warped igloo]

like this morning

[vapid smelt]

i swear it goes up 20% every time i wake up

[warped igloo]

im gonna move at this point

[vapid smelt]

just buy a cargo boat and live on the sea

[winged spire]

Nah Blud I’m cooked

[vapid smelt]

its my fake news its still 145

[winged spire]

Oh fuck off 😭😭😭😭

You’re killing me

[warped igloo]

ill get my packages from the ship myself

[winged spire]

I’m fr cooked though

It’s joever

My days of manufacturing stuff my self in America are over

[vapid smelt]

just make your own solar cells from the raw material

[winged spire]

The solar cells were coming from Ecuador or some shit

So that is fine

Literally everything else is fucked now

[vapid smelt]

the $700 now more in battiers you need

[winged spire]

I literally can’t afford American produced aluminum stock

Now I can’t afford Chinese produced stock as well

😐

[vapid smelt]

what type of aluminum you need?

[winged spire]

6065 preferably 7075

[vapid smelt]

ah so you cant melt down soda cans 😛

[winged spire]

I’m gonna have to go to the mines 💀💀💀💀

Fuck it I’m refining my own

[kind vine]

💀 💀 💀 💀

Welcome to America ig
(im not from america)

[winged spire]

Yeah I’m cooked

Every maker in this country is now having their costs 2.5x now

Good luck making startups about anything other than software bullshit

[kind vine]

ur not the only one im pretty sure many others have the same problem

so ig many people are up to get cooked

[winged spire]

Hardware based startups will cease to exist

[vapid smelt]

is this in inches?

[winged spire]

Are those 1/20” 2x4” squares of sheet aluminum for 74$ Each 💀

Hopefully feet??

[vapid smelt]

https://www.wicksaircraft.com/shop/7075-0-7075-t6-aluminum-sheet/?woo_id=114873&gQT=0 i think its feet?

[winged spire]

probably

1/20" is too thin

for.. every application

[vapid smelt]

just tripple it up

[winged spire]

lol

lemme weld these up

[dusky jacinth]

Well there's a board I hadn't seen before till now.

[vapid smelt]

it needs to be 4'?!

[winged spire]

inch

[vapid smelt]

why so fuckign thick

[winged spire]

to mill

my GOAT got me some blank stock for my drone's motor mounts already

6061 6.5x2.5x0.5

thats why hes the goat

[vapid smelt]

im 90% sure you are making a killer drone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i8wzFtaMXU 4 inches can stop allot of 7075

[winged spire]

these guys

[vapid smelt]

two 1 inch thick plates stopped a 50bmg

[winged spire]

wanna see something insane?

[vapid smelt]

yes

[winged spire]

yeah it turns out "space proof" doesnt exist lol

[vapid smelt]

did a screw in oribt it hit?

[winged spire]

anything going 18,000 miles per hour will do that to aluminum and ssteel

we need to invent forcefields.. and soon

lol

[vapid smelt]

for a 1 foot square 4inch fucking sheet lmao

[winged spire]

the plates for that drone are like 250ish side to side

5mm thick

BEFORE the tarrifs I could order them cut, drilled, sanded, bead blasted anodized, and shipped to my door for less than 110$

in america I cant even buy the stock for less than 100

[winged spire]

and thats for all 3

[vapid smelt]

if you sold you car you could afford it

[winged spire]

My car is made of aluminum

I could just melt it down

[vapid smelt]

part it out

could fly to china make a suitcase out of the aluminum you need and fly back with out getting charged extra

[winged spire]

unironcially yes that is now economically viable

one carryon of aluminum would be well more than enough to make that worth it

[vapid smelt]

jb weld a suitcase with 4inch fucking sides

[winged spire]

make the suitcase OUT of alumiunum stock

then disassemble when home

"why is your suitcase made of 6" thick aluminum sheet"

[vapid smelt]

so tsa dont break it

[winged spire]

TSA always sus about me

I get the patdown and bomb swab literally every time

[vapid smelt]

spend less time in the sun so your more pale

tsa dont touch pale gamers

you also need to wear a cringy gaming shirt for it to work

yeah the tariff free suitcase would be a heavy fucker

[winged spire]

Pro tip

Buy business cards for a media company

You can get a media tag, basically an extremely discounted checked bag rate

My friend can bring any weight any size bag with united for like 100$

It has to be under the oversized/overweight limit

That’s like a 4’^3 suitcase

All you need is a business card lol

Will TSA get Angry if I walk though with a full suit of armor?

REAL

No bro it’s like actually so fucking over

@vapid smelt he got rid of the de minimis exemption

Basically since.. ever you didn’t have to pay duties on items under 800$

It’s over

25$ minimum increasing to 50 soon

My 4$ Ali express order now comes with a 25$ tax

What the fuck do I even do now bro

[old plover]

I’m currently looking to buy my first controller and after tons of research I’m eyeing on X20, Cyclone 2 and Vader 4 Pro. Which do you think is best?

[crude vortex]

vader 4 pro if you dont have a tight budget

second best is cyclone 2

[old plover]

For some reason all the controllers here in my country is very cheap, Vader 4 Pro only cost $51 and Cyclone 2 is $32

hey, how will an RX 9070 run with an R9 5900x?

will my cpu bottleneck that gpu?

[oak pier]

depends on the game

[hollow coral]

i mostly play r6, fortnite and bo6

[oak pier]

also depends on settings, so hop in game and see how it runs

[hollow coral]

i dont have it yet, im saving up for it

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/68682/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-pure-gaming-oc-16gb getting this one

ik sapphire is a good brand, my old gpu was sapphire

[hollow coral]

but ill prob be on max settings in most games like cyberpunk i assume itd be fine 1080p with max settings, rn i get 100 fps on max without rt and frame gen on

[oak pier]

1080p your cpu will probably be a bottleneck

especially with single thread limited games

shouldn’t be a bad bottleneck though

[hollow coral]

hm alr, thanks

cos the rx 9070 is around 160% faster than my rx 6600

atleast thats what techpowerup says in their database

relative performance*

@queen sorrel even sarcastically that’s not even funny

[queen sorrel]

Its true tho, im all for scientific funding too

[polar fern]

Legitimately you don’t know the giant fuck ton of things that NASA has done?

what they really mean is they want to take money away from our own space program and give it to Elon Musk

[queen sorrel]

I mean, private companies have gotten closer to sending men to the moon once again than nasa

[polar fern]

What part of things don’t need to make a profit to exist are people not understanding?

[queen sorrel]

If it is useless then why keep spending money on it

[hot tartan]

https://webbtelescope.org/

[winged spire]

NASA is one of spaceX’s biggest customers bud

[polar fern]

private companies that’ve gotten literally countless billions in both tax breaks and taxpayer subsidies? you mean those companies?

[winged spire]

I wouldnt suggest talking to Tranist biker about this though, they’re very uninformed about how private launch companies actually… like.. work

NASA is very glad that SpaceX exists

[polar fern]

The only reason we spend money on it is because that is how things are done with everything else and everything else is profit based

It’s literally a flaw in our capitalistic system. That pure science has to somehow be profitable.

[gilded quest]

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/

[polar fern]

A lot of people working on these projects would do it for free if they didn’t have bills to pay

[queen sorrel]

Bro is acting like anyone enjoys capitalism, only reason it exists is because its the only somewhat functional economic system

[winged spire]

NASA spends money on SpaceX and ULA because they offer a service dramatically cheaper than anyone else

It really is that simple

[covert cradle]

Just don't be surprised when that hinge breaks after 10-20 hinge movements. It's been a known broken design for at least 5 years now

OK, this exchange is tiring. Have a nice day.

[winged spire]

Ignorance is one hell of a drug

[strange elk]

Other economic systems dont have that same principle? It exists therefore its the only one that somewhat works?

Weird

[winged spire]

NASA should be focused on research and discovery, there’s literally no reason for them to develop their own launch platform

[queen sorrel]

I mean, communism has literally failed miserably in every country its been implemented in

The worlds most advanced space telescope

We could have had several lunar landers instead of a single SLS launch platform 😭😭

[polar fern]

There’s nothing wrong from people benefiting from work that they do, but that’s not the issue here. We’re talking about a fundamental misunderstanding of the concepts of curiosity and exploration.

It’s like trying to get a real estate developer to look at a piece of land without wondering what can go on that piece of land

That piece of land does not have worth - it is priceless.

same thing when you interact with another person, it should never be a transactional thing. It should always be people doing the right thing because that’s the thing that you should be doing.

Obviously us folks, especially the younger ones did not develop the systems that we live within today, but we shouldn’t just accept things the way they are, especially given how much loss and suffering and ridiculous nonsense. It has brought us.

[harsh quartz]

“It’s a major business interruption” yeah no shit?

[fallen blade]

Would you recommend windows 11?

[covert cradle]

all the laptops in this category ("gaming") and price range have at least one serious flaw tbh. Anything with "thin" or similar in the title is particularly awful with the battery and thermals being sacrificed. At least to me, a bad hinge is a deal-breaker flaw

[harsh quartz]

Would the insurance claim be worth more than the cost of lost business after the cleanup?

If your entire workflow is windows, upgrade to windows 11, and deal with the downsides, because right now, you have no other choice.. if you are willing to change your workflow. switch to linux mint or zorinos... but for the most part, just upgrade to windows 11 and deal with it

Honestly, I don't think LTSC is ever a good choice so I almost don't want to mention this, but individuals can actually buy 5 licenses with the open value license from a licensing partner. It would be an expensive mistake, but it is still possible

[harsh quartz]

Warshit

So your picky

Good luck.

Don’t say it like it’s my fault

really? i thought that the only way to get those licences was as an enterprise customer, or, stolen grey market licences

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t change what I said.

[polar fern]

This is really funny. All I see is you arguing with a thing that says blocked message.

[fossil frost]

what i think is really funny is feeling the need to keep bringing up that you blocked someone when nobody asked

i get blocked all the time, zero fucks 🙂

[covert cradle]

Yea. They don't actually restrict anything to enterprise customers explicitly, although most of the licensing programs have minimum quantities of 250 or 500. So practically speaking it's still enterprise only. Most licensing partners also will ignore individuals since they do custom quotes only and such, but there are a handful that let anyone do "a-la-carte DIY" licensing, such as CDW.

[polar fern]

CDW is where I order a lot of stuff

[fossil frost]

ah ok, didnt know that

[polar fern]

@covert cradle so hypothetically, you could just buy that many licenses and just use it for yourself

[covert cradle]

yes

[fossil frost]

you can switch by using a new key, ie. if you have home installed, and then "upgrade" to a pro key, it just becomes pro

[covert cradle]

You just have to make you get the appropriate open value licenses. There are a metric ton of license SKUs lol

[fossil frost]

everything is installed, just behind a soft lock

[polar fern]

Imagine calling their helpdesk and it just being just you

[fossil frost]

no, only the home/home n/pro/pro n/edu/edu n/enterprise editions can do that with a key change. since they are all the same base install, with different parts behind a licence. and even then, enterprise is a special case that needs to pull some stuff in from windows update

LTSC goes out of its way to install only what it needs, its a stripped down install

[cursive cape]

Hi! New to the channel

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, we know you block people that say something you disagree with, that’s not something to be proud of

[fossil frost]

they block people because people say things that challenge their world view, and no matter how valid what that person says is, they cry about it and block them.. and they block a lot of people for that

Hello

Ive been an LTT fan since March 2023

[echo sluice]

Cool

[polar fern]

How dangerous is 2,2'-iminodiethylamine vapor?

[vivid fox]

SDSS

[gilded quest]

Wait what's the 3rd s

Safety Data Sheet Safety

[vivid fox]

Was suppose to be uncapitalized

now I’m thinking of SPSS lol

[polar fern]

Yeah, I’m just trying to get a solid answer as to how dangerous it is and a lot of these data sheets are specific to mixtures and I just wanna know how dangerous it is on its own

[vivid fox]

I’d keep it in a fume hood

[gilded vale]

seems that you will die if inhaled

what are you using it for

[polar fern]

Apparently, it’s part of a resin curing thing from JB weld

[gilded vale]

ohh ok

I think its fine just dont do it in an enclosed area

[polar fern]

Some idiot used it at where my girlfriend works on a piece of furniture - yes enclosed area

[gilded vale]

It should be fine tbh

like yeah maybe be more careful next time but I wouldnt be too angry at the idiot

[vapid smelt]

I used plenty of it in my car

[gilded vale]

like I dont think they used THAT much jd weld (and if they did, carpentry is dead) and I doubt its 100% concentration

[vivid fox]

Carpentry is dead lmao

[gilded vale]

"nail free japanese constructed chair - $500"

looks inside
its all JB weld

[polar fern]

This guy used the entire two part tube of the resin

In a space with no external ventilation

[vivid fox]

I would ventilate the area for a given time

[winged spire]

The clear JB weld is the goat

very good epoxy

decent price

[polar fern]

Yeah, it’s pretty bad. There’s some other chemicals in the curing process as well which are about as bad.

[vivid fox]

Certified japanese hood classic

[gilded vale]

the JB weld SDS says if inhaled get fresh air and doesnt have the fatal if inhaled like the 100% concentration one

but it also didnt list that chemical in its formulation

which one did the guy use?

[vivid fox]

I would just ventilate the area.

[gilded vale]

yeah next time for sure

[vivid fox]

I thought you were a chemist asking which is why I referenced an SDS sheet

[fossil frost]

i would guess that it doesnt matter.. and what matters more is that they are still sat inside, breathing it in, and not outside... which means its either not that bad, or, just want something to complain about

[gilded vale]

I just dont want transit to go off on the guy too much

[vivid fox]

Typical commercial use products for the public is generally less potent but that isn’t an indicator for safety.

[polar fern]

@gilded vale the clear one

[gilded vale]

yeah its kinda like lead free solder, you should preferably be in a ventilated area but most people dont do that lol

[vivid fox]

💀

[fossil frost]

i always forget to open the door, and then sit and complain to myself about having a massive headache 😄

[polar fern]

My primary concern is not just this chemical, which seems pretty nasty if you breathe it, but there are three other chemicals which are also fume extractor hood or outside type things

[vivid fox]

Just ventilate the area and leave til it’s done curing + additional time

[fossil frost]

maybe do something about it, report it to someone, go away from the chemical smell... instead of asking unqualified people on discord

[vivid fox]

Googling this will come up with some shit most people here won’t understand

I can assure you google isn’t your friend for this

I was a chemist

[gilded vale]

yeah the 2,2'-iminodiethylamine is less than 1% so you should be ok

it still warns to use a ventilated area and stuff

part A seems relatively safe but the part B is the one that you need to be careful with

[polar fern]

Yeah, there was literally no ventilation at all. They just applied to it and let it sit in the space

[gilded vale]

whats wrong with this furniture store bruh

why is everything fixed with glue and epoxy lol

[vivid fox]

Next thing they’ll do is put bleach and vinegar together in a air humidifier to clean it

[gilded vale]

shipping costs outweight item cost ahh store

[gilded vale]

itll clean it alright

[gilded quest]

When in doubt, forced air BAPA

[vivid fox]

I’ve seen some lab techs I manage do dumb shit lmao

[gilded vale]

yeah I dont doubt it

[vivid fox]

[gilded vale]

my chem teachers have plenty of stories of people doing dangerous shit with chemicals

[vivid fox]

God that was so funny

[gilded vale]

I know one story is that their partner didnt use boiling stones and superheated the water

[vivid fox]

I wish I still worked in chemistry full time

[fossil frost]

my favourite one was turning on the gas tap, that you were supposed to connect the rubber hose for a bunsen burner to... but not connecting it, and just lighting the free flowing gas directly 😄

[gilded vale]

chemistry is very fun im not sure if I should pursue a chem degree or computer science degree

i enjoy chem more but im better at the computer science stuff

[vivid fox]

I majored in Biology and ended up becoming a pathology scientist

[gilded vale]

yeah theres a reason why every lab at my school has the procedure changed to use the least harmful chemicals lol

[vivid fox]

I have zero personality outside understanding diseases, chemistry and engineering

[gilded vale]

when I was younger I was basically just depression incarnate until you mentioned PEEK plastic 💀

[fossil frost]

some for a lot of inteligent people who specialise in a particular subject, especially when they specialise early on, we end up basing our entire personality around that subject, even if its by accident

[vivid fox]

During my undergrad a girl in my Organic Chem II course took everything we had and mixed it all together to dispose of it quicker and ended up creating some weird salt shit my professor took home to dispose of.

He was livid

[gilded vale]

that sucks but that sounds like an interesting assignment to figure out what happened

[vivid fox]

Yeah my father was the same way, built up a company and always spoke about work lol

He was the very definition of never work a day in your life if you love your job

[fossil frost]

i work in software development... and my uncle tells me this about my job... "you are really lucky that you dont have to work... you just get paid for doing your hobby"

[vivid fox]

I tried learning coding but that stuff is too much for me lol

[gilded vale]

really it depends on who your manager is though

management can take even the shittiest job and make it fun

or at least not soul crushing

[vivid fox]

My supervisors do most of the management for me since I’m basically always in a closed off section of the lab.

[fossil frost]

bolt is bolt is bolt is bolt

[gilded vale]

yeah nobody comes out with a new bolt which is supposed to be better but nobody uses it

[vapid smelt]

Oops this bolt is reverse threaded

[winged spire]

I find who did that, and make sure they will never be able to do it again.

[fossil frost]

bolt != bolt... because you can have different size, with different threads, and then you can have named threaded bolts, but with different pitch, or different length, or reversed thread... and then you have all the different thread depths too

[winged spire]

different pitches are for evil people

[vivid fox]

I just want to hear trump announce a billion percent tariff now

[fossil frost]

bolts are a fucking nightmare, especially when you dont know which bolt you have, and you need to match it, and you have 3 different bolts that all look more or less the same, so you get all 3, and none of them are right

[winged spire]

you got m1 m2 m3 m4 m5 m6 m7 m8 different lenghts

never mix that shit

[fossil frost]

those are what i was on about, you can get DIFFERENT M2/3/4/5/6/7/8'a

[gilded vale]

dont get started on jst connectors

[winged spire]

yeah except you can just.. not

[fossil frost]

the fact that you can, and they are sold, and that people DO use them, makes bolts on their own, just as complex as software dev 😛

[gilded vale]

at least hardware is much easier to figure out than a depreciated codebase

[fossil frost]

though tbf... with a strong enough wrench, and a long enough bar, any nut of the correct ID, will fit on that bolt 😛

"this nut is gonna cut a new thread for this bolt.. as long as i turn hard enough" 😄

[vapid smelt]

I already drove the reverse threaded bolt in with the impact gun now it's stuck what do I do?

[gilded vale]

leave the area and blame it on the next person who touches it

[winged spire]

heat

if your bolt is stuck heat it

[vapid smelt]

This is why you need to ban those people.

[sharp bone]

Oh we do, but he recruits other people to harass the streamer

So it's a hard situation to keep under control

And now we're dealing with legal issues since he wants to go down the route of silencing people through impersonating other people

lol

[gilded vale]

bruh

im pretty sure science is just as guilty ngl

usually these "these" type of people theyre both in the fault

[gilded vale]

its kinda like csgo gambling companies going after each other

[sharp bone]

Your choice to believe that I suppose

[sharp bone]

Might actually do that, I apperciate it

[gilded vale]

I mean youre saying that youre being silenced when youre using someone elses artwork in your thumbnail and video which is something you can copyright strike for

and then youre saying the guy copyright striking is impersonating someone when it clearly states hes representing the client

[sharp bone]

I think you're intentionally being obtuse if you choose to believe this is an any way legitimate when I have stated the person he's impersonating is a famous twitch streamer

And I don't believe a famous twitch streamer would choose to represent someone of this calibur. I should also mention that I have screenshots of this person flat out admitting to doing all of this.

[gilded vale]

how are they impersonating someone?

how do you know its this guy who is copyright striking you and not the actual streamer or one of their agents?

[sharp bone]

.

[gilded vale]

youd have to contact the official streamer

[gilded vale]

oh lol

well def contact the streamer then and also if youre gonna use their stuff in your videos, you should ask for permission or leave it out so you dont get copyright striked

[sharp bone]

Don't wanna turn this channel into drama, so if you're curious you can dm me

[gilded vale]

meh youtube drama is pretty braindead

although the new H3 stuff is interesting

bro has lost a ton of weight I didnt recognize him at first

he looks really bad nowadays

you should message keemstar

if that dudes still around, he'll love this stuff

[sharp bone]

To try and shorten it up, the dude stole artwork from musicians, created an avatar based on the stolen artwork, then copyright striked someone for modifying that artwork to fit a thumbnail which would fall under fair use. The artwork used in the video was shown as a criticism to a point the person has made about other people.

[gilded vale]

interesting

but you gotta know that you wouldve received some attention too

[sharp bone]

Thinking about it, I'm not too sure this would work out considering this guy is from another country.

[gilded vale]

I really dont think the US government gives a shit someone did a false copyright claim

[sharp bone]

Impersonation and potentially damaging the image of another person, possibly

[gilded vale]

yeah but thats a case that youd have to make

if the streamer doesnt care then theres no case

and on the scale of illegal shit to do on the internet, this is probably slightly worse than pirating a game lol

Is the screw driver from LTT actually good

[alpine gale]

Yes, very good. I have one at work. And at home. And another in my daily backpack.

did you know if you add 2lbs of sugar per ton of concrete

and it wont cure. ever.

[vapid smelt]

yes i saw the youtube short

[warped igloo]

hows it different than a regular screwdriver

[alpine gale]

It has a ratchet with low backforce, so unlike a regular screwdriver, I don't have to exert as much effort to tighten or loosen fasteners compared to a screwdriver without a ratchet. Plus, we use the bit storage to keep commonly used bits on-hand at work. It's nice to have Robertson 1/2, Philips 0/1/2, and various Torx on hand.

Hey I’m going to college next year and am going to look into laptops to buy. I like gaming, but I haven’t been playing recently at all, and don’t really have a desire to, but I still want to have it as an option. What’s a good slick laptop that has good performance for both school work and gaming that I can get. Also I’d prefer it to look the least like a gaming computer as possible

[warped igloo]

oh thats handy

$70 is quite steep though

[tame surge]

Some people said to get the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 , how is that

[warped igloo]

what games will you be playing

[vapid smelt]

steam deck

[tame surge]

Idek honestly the only thing I’ve played somewhat recently is r6. I just don’t want to get a mac and not be able to play any games if I ever wanted to

But I’d also be doing a lot of with with adobe so would the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 be able to handle that as well, if not better than a mac?

[warped igloo]

for productivity mac clears everything

for gaming everything clears mac

[tame surge]

That’s the problem

I obviously want to get work done and have my computer handle it but I’d like to play some games on it aswell

[vapid smelt]

Thank you all for the help

[vapid smelt]

from apple refurb store

[gilded quest]

Grand

Apple refund store is a good place to check but pricing will vary depending on what they have in stock

[warped igloo]

you could even save a few hundred bucks and go with an m2

[grim belfry]

Last I checked Apple refurb store is only ever 15% off RRP

So pricing doesn’t really vary

[winged spire]

Are these actually different colors
