This is going to shock you, I don't accept DMs from randoms.

[elder thunder]

cool

[edgy sun]

So ive been thinking about how much jarder it appears to be making a close to decent movie out of a video game than doing a book justice

And then had a crazy idea: imagine... Grand Theft Auto The Movie lmfao

[sage sun]

yeah its tough to do a book justice because the director has ideas of his own.

like peter jackson

[edgy sun]

That would take it to a whole new level of cursed?

[edgy sun]

Right. Or how Tolkien fans complain about the Peter Jacksons

[sage sun]

anything bad in the lotr movies is attributed to peter jackson's decisions

[edgy sun]

...despite tbh them being some of the best imo. He had enough cut from theatrical to leave like hr+ of film right? And its sad because nothing to do w the art. Just the industry standards for release len

[sage sun]

there was no need to have army of the dead nonsense

[edgy sun]

Not all of it. He tryharded it and even then so much movie. Literally not allowed to release past certain length in theatres right? Exec doing

[sage sun]

many odd decisions like making Ents stupid and pacific characters that would never fight

Faramir, Denethor

[edgy sun]

But ye he changed some stuff too i know

But idk silmarilion not even possible i think lol. It narrates chronicle since dawn of time over centuries lmao. And it does so clearly mimicing style of kjv certified nt/ot

[sage sun]

while i think they did the shire and rivendell justice. rohan and gondor are barren lands in the movies but of course that is where they choose to shoot it.

[edgy sun]

No man can kill me. She takes off helmet lol

[sage sun]

they are epic movies but they are 5% of what the books are, they are like summaries of what happens and at times often wrong.

[sage sun]

kjv what?

[edgy sun]

Im not a man. That part such a goofy joke. Gotta have at least one hollywood comic releaf... in battle for life of middle earth

[sage sun]

thats from the book

[edgy sun]

It uses language really similar to 1600s version bible

So it came to pass, etc. Imo its clearly trying to be a fictional bible of middle earth

[sage sun]

silmarillion is a coherent tale, but if they could not adapt a 1000 page book properly they certainly cant adapt the silmarillion which is written at times as a history book looking down on the world.

[edgy sun]

But everything was created with music or some sht. Instead of creating light, like note was played and made stuff i think

[sage sun]

yeah you have the gods who sing

and they create everything.

[edgy sun]

Honestly rumor was amazon making it but turned out to be rings of power lmao

[sage sun]

it wouldnt be hard to adapt it, i dont think. but the issue is that the Silmarillion is not a history of men, it's a history of Elves. 100 years in Elvish time is like 10 years

and hollywood directors or writers dont care for that

which i think it's only a matter of time anyway. Silmarillion comes into public domain in 2043

and they'll sell the rights before

[edgy sun]

Right then evil or morgoth eventually was a wrong note or somn right? Kinda a cool concept. Pagan afk but cool lol

[sage sun]

the hobbit comes into public domain in 7 years though, so that may be interesting. i wonder if studios will take shots at adapting it again.

[edgy sun]

Oh word. Lol looking forward to 2043. Thats why amazon had to rename some people right?

[sage sun]

well its just speculated, under UK law it would

dont see why not.

i think the US law is like 90 or something years though

[edgy sun]

Honestly im ok w the pj movies. At least i doubt anyone has a good shot at making it better (for hollywood)

[sage sun]

amazon has no rights to the silmarillion at all

dont think they renamed anyone, they did what they wanted and asked the tolkien estate for permission on certain characters

[edgy sun]

Silmarillion idk. I cant even picture it. Like fellowship intro showing scenes from history and narrating... only entire thing heh

[sage sun]

it would be fan fiction definitely

but it could be good fan fiction depending on the writers

[edgy sun]

I dont get it still. Like they used Galadriel

[sage sun]

tolkien gives plenty detail on pretty much every event and on characters.

[sage sun]

they have rights to the hobbit and lotr i think. Or maybe just lotr and the appendices, so they can use any of those characters. but not the ones that arent.

[edgy sun]

That wizard idk if supposed to be knockoff gandalf or deliberately a different wizard lol

[sage sun]

Annatar does not appear in the hobbit or lotr

rings of power is one of the worst shows ive seen in my life

i cant believe it got renewed again.

[winged spire]

475th falcon 9 launch 🔥

[edgy sun]

Is he in silmarillion? I still didnt finish it honestly. Attention span

[sage sun]

yes, the name appears there

i dont think peter jackson could adapt it. he's the only one for the job but even he couldnt do it properly without inserting his own wonky elements.

[edgy sun]

Honestly diff cast and its amazon. I never expected it to be better than a turd

[sage sun]

everything about that show is off kilter

[edgy sun]

They did that sjw stuff i saw coming. Like honestly never thought about it tbh. Why is everyone white lmfao. But you can insert diversity without making a point of it. Or idk but they basically had a scene where somebody was racist against 'dwarves'

[sage sun]

Filling in gaps is hard, but what they do in that show is just horrible. They dont fill in the gaps, they tear a hole in the wall every episode.

3000 years compressed to 10 years, i know that they're not serious with it and are just burning money for no reason.

They dont even want to hire new showrunners, i dont understand it. But Amazon will do Amazon, they can afford dropping a billion.

[edgy sun]

In original it was there in plot but not just for the sake of discriminating dwarves lmao

[sage sun]

i dont think the actors are to blame to be honest, while yes the galadriel actress needs to be like 6ft

the Elendil actor needs to be 6ft too and then they should have done cgi to make him 7-8ft

I think the idea of Celebrimbor being an old elf, is not a bad idea, but it was executed very poorly.

I just thought for all they did, they did not make the world of Tolkien that they were trying to adapt. They made it feel so small because of horrible writing.

[edgy sun]

The elves hated them because of feud and tbh king made greedy moves. Elves i feel like are racist toward everyone else. Humans, dwarves, etc they think lesser of. Aragon was amazingly embraced but only because he had elvish blood in him right?

Unless im wrong about his race living longer due to part elf or somn. Idk racism lo;

[sage sun]

Elves aren't racist at all

And it depends which Elves, there are many of them, so one of group had their king killed by dwarves, dwarves ran off and were caught. And then i think they killed each other some more

[edgy sun]

Yeah thats hugw. Glhf casting 7+ foot dude lol

[sage sun]

it's huge but average Numenorean is 6ft

[edgy sun]

They did a lot w camera angles right? Thinking back they showed him a lot from bottom

[sage sun]

definitely not, this show is terrible in that aspect too, they dont really care.

[edgy sun]

I know frodo and other hobbits they didnt use all cgi

[sage sun]

aragorn has long life because of his ancestors being a higher race of men

[edgy sun]

Most of it like leg folded in pants n sht right?

[sage sun]

i dont know but i could write a book about all the issues in Rings of Power

i forget, that elrond kisses galadriel

that wizard dude spends like a whole season to find his staff and im not even exaggerating, that's his whole purpose in the 2nd season. somehow he knows about Sauron too, everyone knows about him, as if they have phones and they know these things instantly.

[edgy sun]

Not part elf though? Still, not long enough for arwen lmfao. I dont know a lot tbh. Like apparently smeagol is halfling but not hobbit. Something movies make no mention of. I mean yeah i can see how people were pissed. Couldnt fit in some important details even in 3+ hr extended lol

[sage sun]

yes

[edgy sun]

Ooh. Really works tho. Next best option i can think of is gandalf lmao

[sage sun]

though in part is probably not the right word.

[edgy sun]

Or sauron if he hadnt necromancied and tried to kill literally everyone

[sage sun]

no not the best option since elrond's wife is galadriel's daughter.

[edgy sun]

I really like how after royal bloodline went mia, nobody crowned themselves and basically held it down as stuarts while aragon was gone.. and who knew if he'd even turn up

[sage sun]

denethor for example is a much stronger character than in the movies.

in the movies he's portrayed in a way like a fat king just eating away while his kingdom burns.

[edgy sun]

Really loyal people. Irl version of that lmao.

[edgy sun]

Right in movies he's absolute POS lol

[sage sun]

he gives up in the end, but in the movies he gave up the moment he appeared on screen.

[edgy sun]

Literally treats other son as least fav. Sends to front lines eek

[vapid wharf]

Woo NVIDIA GTC

[sage sun]

i think he treated him better in the books. still the end result was same.

[edgy sun]

In books did he also want to use ring?

[sage sun]

i think so.

faramir did not though, he played around with the ring and threw it back to frodo.

[edgy sun]

I mean its really the evil still. His second son really died bc of that greed indirectly

[sage sun]

yeah but in the movies he's pretty much a dumbass.

in the books he's like this old tough man who still acts like a king and thinks about strategy.

[vapid wharf]

Anyway I bought ticket to Nvidia GTC. Will send pics

[sage sun]

70-80% of the dialogue is left out of the movies

[edgy sun]

Boromir kinda as well because he felt like he had to redeem himself for frodo.

[sage sun]

cause in the books Gandalf almost leaves to fight the Witchking and he's very clear about that. then pippin comes and tells him denethor's going to burn himself and that faramir's alive

[edgy sun]

And didnt they get spotted somehow in movies bc of that altercation? Him screaming or putting on ring tbh

[sage sun]

it's actually that moment in the books where you get a slight hint that Gandalf's still alive

cause theres an eagle flying above high

[edgy sun]

Yeah i mean damn sad. He sees him alive but its too late. Movies at least he went out like phoenix lol

[edgy sun]

Oh god the 'plothole'. Why didnt ganda;f just end story and use the birds at beginning etc

[sage sun]

and not just that, its gandalf who saves frodo in that moment when he puts the ring on that hill

[edgy sun]

Gandalf, agent smith and them i feel are like theban play choir. They kinda dont intervene much because its up to middle earth to save themselves. Then again sauron hella intervened

Gandalf did kill balrog and a bunch in battle

[edgy sun]

Right but he could have had the birds take frodo take the ring lol

[sage sun]

even then wouldnt really last long before they were shotdown.

[edgy sun]

Or birds tbh do they have a weakness for the ring or something too? How would that even look like 😛 jk

[sage sun]

sauron sees a lot. i think that flaming eye is kind of deceiving in the movies but i did not think that was a mistake as it is how he is described at times

[edgy sun]

Fair point. Nazguls fly too derp

[sage sun]

and anyway he would have just blocked the entrance to mount doom and that would have been it.

yeah the valar dont want to intervene in middle earth, sauron's army is still nothing compared to what they had in the first age so it would have been wiped out easily.

it's only one of the valar that actively works against sauron in the 3rd age

[edgy sun]

Right whole army is distracted and moves to gates

And frodo and sam literally crouchwalked to not get seen

[sage sun]

mordor is a barren wasteland, its very big and i dont think movies do it much justice. it's also very cold

or maybe i have that messed up.

[edgy sun]

Sauron should have camped mt doom better tbh. His eye on immovable tower structure wasnt best idea

[sage sun]

he didnt care, he was going to win anyway.

[edgy sun]

And ew his mouth wandering as well someplace else attached to a different guys face :

[sage sun]

denethor tells gandalf that even if they survive the battle at minas tirith, they wont survive the next one, his armies were pretty big.

the valar maybe did care, but i never thought of them as very caring. but the Eagles do come singing when Sauron is defeated to Minas Tirith "bringing news from the Lords of the West"

[edgy sun]

If he had ears of sauron maybe heard them better? Even Saruman had flying spies like uav drones

[sage sun]

well he is a physical character in the books

he's just kind of crippled i guess.

[edgy sun]

Wasnt sauron as well though? At least whatever galadriel is

[sage sun]

the way i see it he was pretty powerful even then, so maybe crippled isnt the right word. he was the most powerful being in Middle Earth, but he wouldnt risk leaving his tower until victory was sure

Galadriel's just a powerful Elf, that's kind of all. A really powerful one

[edgy sun]

Ye isildor fked him up i guess enough to make him leave physical form

[sage sun]

he does have a physical form though, the flaming eye on top of the tower is not canon

the way tolkien writes about it sometimes you would think it is like "and the eye of Sauron the terrible few could endure" but it's just that he was very powerful.

"until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of mallice and hatred visible" which would make you think that it is like in the PJ movies

[edgy sun]

Didnt sauron offer Galadril to make her his queen lol

[sage sun]

in rings of power.

Galadriel's role in the Silmarillion is minimal.

[edgy sun]

Thats essentially royal marriage proposal... with the kingom still TBD status.

Instead he got saruman lmfao

Idk could make him his king
But honestly he just planned on using him and betraying right? Cant have two kings.

[sage sun]

no Saruman is more like a useful idiot

anything he did he did on his own and in that way just helped Sauron, but not wilfully, he wanted the ring for himself

[edgy sun]

All i know is a lot of big players before sauron was made even. Morgoth

[sage sun]

well sauron was his right hand pretty much, and sauron fought aragorn's long long ancestor in werewolf form.

[edgy sun]

Then apparently sht like evil itself made them idk. Somebody corrected me when i said morgoth made sauron. Its some other dude right?

[sage sun]

no, morgoth just created dragons, werewolves etc

sauron already existed and he just had a lot more fun doing evil

[edgy sun]

Then one of them was made because all evil and hatred was put into physical form

[edgy sun]

Oh ok. So he made dragons which went extinct long before all books heh

Not smaug because everyone assumes his dragonness

[sage sun]

the silmarillion's pretty crazy in what happens, war of the jewels is the translation and it was meant to been released alongside with lord of the rings. I guess Tolkien meant for it to be as long as Lotr, but he never fully completed it.

[edgy sun]

Right i heard and yet a crazy big portion of it or even majority was written already by Tolkien lol

He told his son in words a lot of it w/o writing or publishing

[sage sun]

i think he had written it down most of it.

[edgy sun]

Hence majority still consider cannon

[edgy sun]

Oh true. Imo plans to ever release or not, best writing and fictional universes have thought out backstories and a lot of other things

[sage sun]

ive not found anything else like it and i dont think i ever will.

[young finch]

How many of you played the oblivion remastered

[edgy sun]

Apparently Vincey G wrote breaking saul a bit together with first show. Which is why Saul in first appearance asks if Nacho sent them if you pay attention.

On the other hand apparently after season one, he only had finale prewritten

[sage sun]

im waiting for a lotr game even though they'll screw it up.

[edgy sun]

Lol wrote deep back stories but all seasons were filler? Still actually a show thats good bc written start to finish

[sage sun]

better call saul is pretty good. saul is an awful character though so i dont have a need to rewatch it

[oak pier]

saul is an amazingly written character

[edgy sun]

Tolkien whole other level start to finsh because wrote from earliest possible beginning about how existemce itself came to be

[sage sun]

one of the first stories he had written about middle earth was in 1917 i think

in ww1

[oak pier]

i kinda forget how old the LoR books are

they're genuinely timeless

[edgy sun]

I still maintain that it's intentional parallels to walt and all of them are antohero

[oak pier]

I still feel bad for howard, bro didn't deserve all that from saul

[edgy sun]

Not really that old. 56 or something first book no?

[sage sun]

1954

[oak pier]

71 years ago

[edgy sun]

Lmao Saul:
I didnt wanna kill the guy... just drive him insane to point of self-doubt, ruin his entire career a bit and... idk no real grand gainful objective

[sage sun]

saul is terrible, thats why im never rewatching the show, i dont need to see him screw over someone different every episode

[edgy sun]

Jealousy about my brother... which mind you he also killed way earlier

Ye if you pay attention sure as the day tomorrow he hurts everyone around him eventually. With like pretty much no exceptions

[sage sun]

its a character that doesnt really change from ep 1 to the last one

he's as scummy as he was in the first one

[edgy sun]

Kim is weird because she sees it all along but kinda enjoys it

Her morals and beliefs in law/justice were pretentious

[sage sun]

well she's his soulmate, they are partners in crime

[edgy sun]

Skyler is like that same thing only she kinda gives in half way througj

[sage sun]

i dont think theres a decent person in that entire show, or in breaking bad

everybody's got some baggage or some problem

[shut lichen]

They're shows about criminals, what do you expect?

[edgy sun]

The money 'already tied up' and her criminal role in it was clearly cop out for dolla bills lookin to sweet

[sage sun]

walter white was a school teacher and saul was just slipping jimmy, he took being scummy to a different level.

[edgy sun]

Well not exactly criminals. Imo bad people. Flawed humans but its too light to put it that way

[sage sun]

well saul is definitely just your average criminal looking to make a quick buck.

walt's just insane.

[edgy sun]

Because Hank, for instance. That parallel i feel they put in applies to him as well yet worst crimes he commits wittimgly at least?

And it was only crimimal bc he knew but couldnt prove it lol

If he could, hed lock him up himself or somn. Police report said he was resisting and assaulting arresting ofcr (him)

So does gomey and everyone else in his dept

Even his boss lol

But irl hank you could say is just as sociopathic as rest of them

His objective motivating all actions wasnt to serve/protect or enforce law. It was personal hatred and vengence toward heisenberg.. whom he had never even seen with his own eyes even once

His actions: disregard others and be willing to jeopardize everyone around him to catch heisenberg personally

Gomez actually you can say he has blame to share for his death

[warped igloo]

im tired

[edgy sun]

Other signs? Lying. Check. He hid his real motive from literally everyone

Sound familiar? Walt: everything i do is for my family

[smoky badge]

then go to sleep?

[warped igloo]

cant

[edgy sun]

Later'd walt: Realizes he's full of sht and lying to himself. Continuea lying to literally everybody else "Everything I do is f../"

[warped igloo]

what are you talking about?

[edgy sun]

Then when basically everybody finds out he just f*cks sht up. At very end he looks like Walt again and Heisenberg is gone. He does one ultimate selfless sacrifice to save jesse who def didnt deserve it

[edgy sun]

How Breaking Bad all main roles are villain. Even Hank so no law enforcement good guy

[warped igloo]

oh lol

[edgy sun]

Only good people in show all die before it ends

Tbh a lot of the bad guys too lmfao

[edgy sun]

Nah narcissistic sociopath... with tbh amazingly surprising redemption. He realizes it and then foregoes the pefect legal defense that would have him walk away free

So tbh yeah saul lives and redeems himself... but gets life in prison 😦

Meanwhile, lets look at my current issue - I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4, and the HDMI Output rotates the channels. Yep. It just randomly changes what audio goes where at random intervals.

[edgy sun]

This has gone far enough even for my liking

[manic torrent]

I thought I was going insane, but I disconnected everything, used a local mp3 player, and set it to one channel and I could hear it changing

[edgy sun]

As in L/R channels?

[manic torrent]

Yes, but in stereo mode it's fine, it's in 5.1 mode that it rotates the channels

It's crazy how many complicated emojis have got through whilst there's still simple ones that haven't. (eg. no table emoji)

Id say rule out hdmi and other source like analog on dev w speakers if you havent already. Then maybe try raspi output hdmi something else if you can.

[grim belfry]

Why would a table emoji be needed lol

guys is chatgpt down? or is it just me

Sounds crazy but if file try diff one? Tbh if you got surround, hdmi getting only twp channels the tv or whatev is left dealing w stereoizing to both sides all speaker

You should ask Copilot

[manic torrent]

? anything. I was playing an mp3 with mpg321. But I'm using it as an output device for my desktop using VBAN audio receiver in pipewire

[pearl dawn]

I've got really wet earwax (sorry if tmi) but they just slip out and become itchy frommthe moisture I think. I get like an hour tops before I have to take em out and dry everything

If you have the same issue what worked for you?

I haven't tried foam tips maybe that's worth a shot?

[olive saddle]

Anyone have decent experience with using SSDs/NAND for a NAS? Ik this is a boomer take, but I've always used HDDs for my NASs becuase of long term reliability reasons. Have modern NVMEs like the 990 Pro reliable enough to be in a NAS long term?

[celest wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-wtf-gif-18188575

[olive saddle]

I guess with a proper raid setup it wouldn't really matter anyway

[young finch]

Try the tips which are snug but don't put pressure inside your ear canal and remember every ear is different it is not weird that you need two size for both your ears

[grim belfry]

Lol SSDs are wayyyy more reliable than HDDs

[pearl dawn]

Yea ik I've got two different sized ear canals but haven't quite figured out the rest

[grim belfry]

AFR = Annual Failure Rate

[young finch]

This means the angle your iems sit is not comfortable try adjusting the angle till it fills like it snug or just remove the iem wire and just turn them until they feel the most snug or try shaking you head

[idle nymph]

i fucking despise iem

i got one of my ear moved back from sleeping on one side always as a kid

so i cant hear shit from the left ear 💀

[pearl dawn]

What do mean "moved back" because that's terrifying

[gilded quest]

The problem with SSDs and NAS are

1. cost per TB
2. most people aren't going to have the networking infrastructure to take advantage of SSD speeds, particularly high end NVMe drives

SSDs are great as cache devices

And for boot

But bulk NAS storage is still recommended to be HDD

[ruby basin]

my ram comes in today and my new case fans because my fans suck

No hard drives allowed in my house!

[harsh quartz]

Get that peasant shit outta here

[grim belfry]

SSDs are cheap nowadays

They’re only like double the price

[ruby basin]

problem hdd more likely to fail more moviing parts

[harsh quartz]

I replaced the hdd in my dads like 2006 gateway with a 500gb sata ssd and that thing runs so fuckin good now

[ruby basin]

hdd also slow over time so like i feel like it wasnt just the hdd to ssd

i use ssd because its more reliable

[harsh quartz]

Bruh it was a 2006 5400rpm 1tb drive, it was definitely the hdd to ssd

Do you guys know for fortnite if a 3900x is better or a 5700x3d?

[little tapir]

Hi

am too LTT fanboy 😄

[viscid elm]

so a 6 core vs 8 core

zen 2 6 core with CCD overhead or one of THE best cpus you can get on am4 for gaming

[glad helm]

It's not bad. Plus you got really good price

hi

Relativity is testing an engine right next to me

This second

i thought it was 12 vs 8 core?

[viscid elm]

no in gaming the 3900x is 6 core

[torpid zenith]

Ohhhhh

i dont use garbage sorry, linux cant run my games so its garbage to me

at least i gave you my reason : )

[red patio]

TLDR: need a decent not too expensive camera upgrade from a 700d which isn't crop censor for gig videos

i couldn't find the right channel to put this in, if one exists, buuut im trying to upgrade my camera to fit my needs.

atm i have a canon 700d with a 50mm 1.8f lens, which i like to use for portaits and gig videos/photography. The camera is a crop censor so it turns my 50 to an 80mm which isn't convient as i need to be close to the front as the world is crawling with giants XD.

a friend of mine recommended the Sony A7 series but im unsure as I want to be able to take good photos and not have to worry about the video aspect too, as it's something I enjoy.

It would also be cool if I would be able to use this camera for streaming too potentially but it's not a deal breaker if not, as I'll most likely also use it to film music content/music videos for projects too.

Any help would honestly be greatly appreciated, please ping or reply so I can see your message thank youu

I've connected to Rogers wireless a couple times accidentally from the US

[granite tinsel]

i still remember when that happened

i live in vancouver tho where rogers at the time didn't have a near-monopoly on home internet and cellular, so it affected like a third of all people's phones and none of their homes rather than most people's phones and homes in toronto

my family is now on rogers 'cause shaw got bought by them, but we switched to telus for home internet 'cause FTTH

so if rogers has another outage my phone will shit itself

but i could probably buy like a telus/bell travel sim

now that shaw home internet is rogers home internet, if another outage happens there will be considerably more vancouverites affected

[nova lynx]

Hi, I'm a Computer nerd from Norway, and like to Game and keep up with tech news and new tech. Love to Game and Stream, and love all kind of Tech.

[final bronze]

COOL

caps lock

[rare spire]

probably just a git gud scenario tbh. my whole steam library runs fine across multiple linux distros without any issue on any of them.

[summer folio]

why is the gouda plant based lol

[rare spire]

which consists of over 100 games.

[summer folio]

Can you play Apex Legends?

Can you play League of Legends on Linux?

[rare spire]

did you specifically go out of your way to find titles that don't work or was this a genuine question?

[summer folio]

rhetorical question

[rare spire]

if you find developers of esports that have dogshit anticheat implementation, a few of them don't work properly.

it is not 100% compatible, but it's like 99.9% compatible. and I think for most people, that's good enough given all of the upsides.

if you're a league pro, obviously I wouldn't recommend it

I played league twice years ago and got small children screaming at me in a casual match and decided it wasn't my game, lol

[rare spire]

I think if you go out of your way to make nearly anything look bad, you can. the question is not about "can I find an example where it sucks", it's more about "what's the overall experience like"... and I find that my computer is more stable, more within my control / I know what it's doing, and it often runs things faster and more efficiently. right now I'm playing MC and getting roughly 3x the fps I got on windows using the same optimization patches. and I can play heavily modded worlds that were a slideshow on my old windows install... I can do stuff that would've been impractical or deeply frustrating on a windows or macOS machine. that's why I use it

[final bronze]

I would revert back to archlinux but i wanna play r6 so i cant

[final bronze]

you really shouldnt be playing those games tho, regardless of if its on linux or not

[rare spire]

🤣

I'm not a fan but everyone's different. let the guy play what he wants

[final bronze]

yeah ig

[rare spire]

I genuinely had no idea this was an issue for r6.

granted I haven't played in years. but I thought at one point it worked perfectly fine on my arch install

[rare spire]

seems like it works in the modern day with a bit of black magic.. I have no idea how this guy figured this out though

glad he published that

[red patio]

thats not what i was saying, I know it'll take better photos than my 700d, what im curious about it, is the video aspect.

[final bronze]

dayum ill try that then

everyone said that there was no online gamemode

[rare spire]

yeah, everyone else is saying that but nobody else made mention of that patch

and if it doesn't work, you can always dual boot for that one application

I did for a while a few years back because I had compatbility issues with something and then I figured it out

[alpine gale]

This was a great eye-opener for businesses everywhere, especially since many banks and Interac (our debit card system) itself decided it would be a good idea to rely on a SINGLE connection partner for their ENTIRE network / infrastructure backbone. Sidebar: damn, and here people called me silly for carrying backup cash.

[harsh quartz]

ditto about the backup cash thing. And about the eye opener thing, it didnt seem to affect change, considering the whole crowdstrike thing

[vapid smelt]

[versed hedge]

thoughts on acer guys?

[rare spire]

tbh steamOS is just locked down arch with a steam launcher on default and some other minor tweaks. If you're technical enough to not need someone to protect you from yourself, you probably don't need it for a desktop, and arch / ubuntu would serve you better

[alpine gale]

Acer is a company. They make stuff. Some stuff is crappy. Other stuff is less crappy.

[rare spire]

true

[versed hedge]

i asked for your thoughts, not a neutral response

[alpine gale]

Personally, I avoid Acer if I can help it. Lack of service manuals, poorly constructed devices, and a support website that isn't very... supportive place Acer well below my recommended manufacturers. That said, I did love the design of their Swift laptop lineup from years ago. @versed hedge why doth ye be asking?

[rare spire]

they're not like Apple where everything has a very unified philosophy for designing and building products. it's more like HP, Lenovo or Dell. their product lines are fragmented with different philosophies for each. so it's hard to say "this is the monolith that is acer"... you just look at stuff on a product by product basis.

[rare spire]

sorry if this isn't satisfying, but for like 95% of large tech companies this is just how it works.

[versed hedge]

js curious

cuz i have an aspire xc 830 with a heleron j4125

[rare spire]

well if it fits your needs and is designed with a philosophy that suits you, I wouldn't care what other people say about the brand. the brand is kinda irrelevant.

are you happy with it?

[versed hedge]

i mean im not gonna use it that much but i just have it as more of a mess around thing

i did get it for free

[rare spire]

oh nice

hope you enjoy it

[versed hedge]

[polar fern]

@rare spire Dell Enterprise Solutions enters chat.

[rare spire]

tbh I don't know enough about Dell Enterprise to understand this. are they pretty fragmented?

[polar fern]

Dell saw what Apple was doing & started diversifying into IT about 10 years ago

A space where they could compete

Now days

https://www.dell.com/en-us/dt/products/index.htm

It kind of took the place of IBM

[rare spire]

I just watched STH's video on z17 the other day.. aren't they still really in the game?

[polar fern]

Sth?

[lapis solstice]

Oh shit

[polar fern]

IBM is not really in the front end anymore. Mostly research & integrated data solutions

Custom data analytics, security, and modeling

Lenovo & dell basically moved in to fill the space IBM left behind

i upgrade their furniture, their systems, their setup even paint their walls in the theme of their choice.

but we'd try to only go after 3 types of gamers:
Gamers with broken, old, or outdated setups.
Gamers with mid or meh setups
Gamers with No setup.

i would pitch the show to linus, but i doubt he'd be interested considering Ultimate tech upgrade is a thing.

Driving fast through a puddle isn’t a good idea

[errant narwhal]

What really irks me is the game I’m trying to play I’ve been going round and round in circles with now 8 members of support

[winged spire]

My old Jeep patriot had its radiator KO’d by a large puddle

[errant narwhal]

First they say it’s issue with my isp they detect in the country and now they want me to download passmark and hw monitor lmfao

All because when I load in I drop out and disconnect

So fucked

Done all their ping scans to data centres and that still doesn’t give them any indication why I’m dropping out for. I don’t have unnecessary programs running in the background that may boot me out

So frustrating and in return I get penalised for 12 hours cus of it

[hazy parrot]

its amazing that they even gave you the time

because it really isnt their problem

[vapid smelt]

What game

[errant narwhal]

League of legends lol

Like why do I need to download ping plotter, passmark and , hwmonitor for a 10+ year old game

[hazy parrot]

because the problem is with you

theres no outages

and they're nice enough to help you despite not being their problem

[errant narwhal]

This is what people tell me but why is it then I make a ticket to riot support and they’re the ones who tell me they detected an issue with my isp and are working to resolve it

[covert cradle]

they likely already ruled out the issue on their end. They are freely helping you diagnose a problem with your own equipment. That's completely beyond their scope and they're just being nice

[errant narwhal]

So for it being my problem I’m the one being punished with “dodge timers” for 12 hours

[covert cradle]

yes

[errant narwhal]

That’s so bullshit I think it’s time I get a new isp

They said something that the servers are working fine it’s just my isp and connection to the game being the issue

And it’s not everyday I can get a away playing the game for a couple hours and it’s fine it’s just went to play last night and died on me

I still don’t understand why they made me do ping scans to data centre IPs in another state but anyways

Find out if we can switch to another isp and see if that fixes the issue

[covert cradle]

They are helping to diagnose if it could be a problem on your own PC too. I assume the only indication on their side is that an unexpected disconnect is occuring. That could be happening on your PC, your home network, your ISP, etc. That's all equipment beyond the scope of riot support

[errant narwhal]

Yeah it’s odd no one else in my household has issues except me with the game

But completely fine if I play anything else

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a pc thing the pc I used is 7 years old

7700k + 1060

[grim belfry]

Lol fuck Riot games

They use a funky AWS load balancer that makes troubleshooting network issues just about impossible

[errant narwhal]

Idk their support seems interesting idk if I speak to real people or AI lol

[covert cradle]

Network hiccups affect different games differently. Most games will just lag you about for a few moments, but other, especially competitive, games would rather kick you

[errant narwhal]

Yeah I understand that part

But well ima look at their response get logs for hwmonitor for them

Won’t bother downloading pass mark lol

If anything it will probably fuck my pc

[rustic tundra]

since when do monitors ship with image retention warnings

[polar fern]

morel like model why

remember kids, tesla is a carbon credit trading company that pretends its a car manufacturer

Morning, donno where to ask but fps issue on oblivion remastered
I can do 4K60 on low,mid,high but I got a 120hz monitor so theoretically I should be able get 120 on low or medium right? Uncapped fps
Added context, new pc first game is there a Windows settings thing I need to do for over 60fps?

Did some self thinking. Settings>Display>advanced>59.94hz to 240

[grim belfry]

I did, and sent a link to sketchysite.com

[final bronze]

ok i can send links

[grim belfry]

I think Austin Evans used to own that domain

[final bronze]

lol

[pliant karma]

Lol students at my college keep falling for it so I get those we’re deactivating you’re college Microsoft account soon from students that fell for the scam.

Counted 9 at this point enough IT had to put out a district wide email about it on top of them pestering you too be cautious with regular emails

[finite spear]

Interesting before 4k40 ultra is now a butter smooth 99-105fps turning off frame gen gets me to 140, didn't know it was on, raytracing down to 70-90... pretty, worth it

[final bronze]

hahahahahah

[final bronze]

thats incredible bro

[bitter harbor]

My college it department sends out fake spam emails where when you click their link it directs you to a page on why you can tell it’s fake

[harsh quartz]

The problem is, that only works if the end user cares. The majority of people probably wouldn’t care enough to change their ways

[bitter harbor]

I mean, if you know it could have been malicious if someone tried, that is a good incentive.

[harsh quartz]

Sure, but again it only works if the end user cares, and when your dealing with college students, a lot probably wouldn’t

[grim belfry]

“Fuck Okta” seems to be a trend

They’re not wrong. Fuck Okta

[harsh quartz]

Idk what that means

[grim belfry]

https://www.instagram.com/unimelb.okta

[grim belfry]

Okta is an identity provider, which has some stupid MFA options

[harsh quartz]

Stupid as in too easy or too annoyingly difficult?

[grim belfry]

Annoyingly difficult

[harsh quartz]

I understand that 2fa can be annoying, but the average user thinks that an auth app is too difficult, so that doesn’t surprise me

“What does it mean I need to download an app?” “I never downloaded an app? Oh wait here it is”

[grim belfry]

Passkeys!

Hooray for passkeys

[harsh quartz]

I was curious what your talking about so I went to read the okra page on it, but you have to give it your email to download it, instead of just having it on the page on the website

[grim belfry]

Passkeys? Or Okta?

[harsh quartz]

Difference between passkeys and traditional passwords, it’s just not something I’ve run into before, I’ve heard it mentioned before though

[grim belfry]

Passkeys are like “virtual” Yubikeys

They use the same FIDO2 WebAuthn technology

https://passkeys.eu/#signup-init

you can use a dummy email

[harsh quartz]

Using made up things to describe other made up things doesn’t help :p

Idk, either way, I’ve seen the sentiment of average people and 2fa practices. They hate it. Even SMS is annoying to a lot of people, and it’s extremely easy

[grim belfry]

It’s MFA, but to the user is even easier than normal sign in!

[harsh quartz]

Charge your stuff

So it’s a randomly generated key specific to a device, locked behind some other form of authentication, like biometric?

[robust knoll]

I got iPhone 13 Pro 6.1 inch, then a iPhone 13 Mini, then a Black HomePod Mini, M1 iPad Air, then a M1 iPad Pro 11 inch, M1 iPad Pro 12.9 inch, then 2021 iPad Mini 6th Gen and Apple Pencil 2, then M1 iMac, M1 Mac mini, M1 Ultra Mac Studio, Pro Display XDR, then M1 MacBook Air BASE Specs, M1 MacBook Pro 13 inch Touch Bar with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, then M1 Pro 14 inch MacBook Pro BASE Specs then a M1 Max 16 inch MacBook Pro with 64 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD. Also Apple Wired EarPods with Lightning Connector, then i also got 2019 AirPods 2nd Gen, then AirPods Max with Lightning Connector, then finally, the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C port

[grim belfry]

They use key pairs, yes

They are the closest thing to “phishing proof”

[harsh quartz]

That’s not super useful trying to long onto another device though

Unless you use like QR login or something

[grim belfry]

That’s the neat part, you can use a QR code. All natively

[harsh quartz]

guessed that one

[harsh quartz]

But thats, again, only as secure as the end users intelligence

[grim belfry]

The passkeys can only be used with the original service. Phishing is essentially impossible

They are bound to the domain, and do not share any secret information

[harsh quartz]

And that’s where you lose me

Security is not something I’ve spent much time with at all, beyond basic Microsoft azure 2fa

[grim belfry]

Even MicroShit supports passkeys! :p

[split swift]

Macrohard!

[alpine gale]

The real problem here is when people don't read. They'll just blindly login to anything that "looks" legit.

[grim belfry]

But the passkey won't work!

It won't let them do anything, because the device will go "Nope, no passkey for that website, ma'am/sir"

Unless they did some sort of proxy thing? If that's what you mean

[warped igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/cinecomical-comicgifs-hasbulla-chewing-pause-gif-26846158

[alpine gale]

Mhm, I'm more referencing situations where people get confused between QR code logins (like what Discord does now) and actual Passkey QR codes. And yes, there's always the "we've compromised your device's network stack, but don't worry, it's safe! Please login!"

[grim belfry]

Yeah, that's certainly a problem. (Which also exists with everything else)

[echo sluice]

looks legit tbh but idk when microsoft would use qr codes

[harsh quartz]

they use qr codes for their auth app

[zealous cedar]

I’m half tempted to put up a QR code that enrolls you in security training in my building just to see who would scan it lol

[hard oriole]

my employer has sent out emails like that

makes you do a short course on bait emails lol

[zealous cedar]

Yeah thankfully we don’t have too many that scan them via email

[zinc coyote]

hi

[echo sluice]

oh

[final bronze]

i would

lwk

[winged spire]

Bruh that scared the fuck out of me

Random firework show? 💀it’s 8:30 bro

[harsh quartz]

when else would there be fireworks? 1pm?

[winged spire]

Usually there’s a reason for said fireworks

[alpine gale]

A QR code literally just contains text. In the case of login processes, it's just passing a URL to your device.

[winged spire]

Half of the US’ national forests were just opened for logging

😐 it’s joever

[zealous cedar]

Discord probably passes the log in info or already authenticated session back to it

Like you can use steam to log into a new device with QR code

Your phones already logged in so it just passes the info over to the computer your signing into

That’s an undertaking
I personally use Keeper(password management) and store the secret key in that

Depends on what you want to do and how easy.
Regular log ins with mfa for me with Totp or mfa/qr ect get stored in keeper which is sso based so I don’t need to ever log in as long as I have authed with my identity manager.
Now stuff like AWS keys ect are stored locally in keepass so they are always encrypted and referenced when needed via scripts.

I’ve not used physical devices for authentication outside of Yubi keys but that was a bit ago for sure

[frozen spindle]

guys, give it to me straight, how much longer until my PC is no longer Viable.

Ryzen 5800X3D
64GB 3200Mhz (4 DIMMs)
RTX 4080 Super

[zealous cedar]

I’d keep it for atleast another 3 years

[tawdry dawn]

excuse me can i get someone to help me make my pc run at its best performance

[gilded quest]

3 hours

[frozen spindle]

Theory, If Liquid Nitrogen can get CPUs running at insane speeds, could submerging a system into super chilled Mineral Oil also achieve higher performance?

[frozen spindle]

what should i do???

[gilded quest]

Throw it in a bin

[split swift]

You have a long ass time

[hard oriole]

more cats with glasses

[winged spire]

Only if you can actually keep it cool

[hard oriole]

thats my old man Jack

[winged spire]

Mineral oil also freezes at like -30c

[manic torrent]

.... this doesn't really make sense.

you need 3m novec

i think the airflow in my case is bad non of these are reverse airflow

is it bad air flow or

[hard oriole]

like all pushing in?
keeps the dust out
as long as temps are good under load its no issue

[ruby basin]

i thisnk all my fans are pulling when facing inwards

[hard oriole]

either way just run a stress test and monitor temps

[pallid sphinx]

Does anyone know if 100% utilization stress test 86 degrees on a 5 7600x with an AIO is okay? in normal games it doesn’t go any higher than 70 Celsius

[hard oriole]

thats totally fine

a bit warm but not a concern

Apparently YouTube’s AI responses have access to all your PI lol

[merry gull]

ain't no way

tbh that ping is more useless than the original message

[magic lake]

phase change with novec is a old idea

that giant thermosiphon that linus reviewed a few years ago is the same idea

to many issues mostly weight and complexity and needing to be oriented specificly with specific plumbing routing

even with the phase change you not that much better off then a AIO or even a heatpipe cooler

can't get sub ambient to make it worth all the weight and complexity without some kind of compressor

id be more interested to see somebody develop a micro linear compressor that you could reasonable put in a pc

[winged spire]

It’s for submersion cooling

This isn’t novec specifically I don’t think, just one at CES

[craggy sequoia]

I swear I didn't touch this

[vapid wharf]

Will I see Linus at GTC?

[latent delta]

bro some things only look good from the front

[vapid wharf]

Like credit cards?

[latent delta]

yes

[vapid wharf]

Yeah

At least its not DBS Everyday card

[kind vine]

maybe

[vapid wharf]

Lmao tbh Idc. I just want more connections and other nerd people to listen to my nerd shit

[kind vine]

same icl

im gonna go to comex which is basically the local version of computex

[vapid wharf]

Also great if I got a job at the end

[kind vine]

stack those employee benefits and discounts

[vapid wharf]

What benefits?

I only care about coding shit on expensive hardware

[kind vine]

genius

[vapid wharf]

Tbh my current situation is pretty much very desirable.

[kind vine]

then when u feel like it code a backdoor to stab nvidia 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[vapid wharf]

I can work at NVIDIA and do their ARM stuff since I am working with Grace (and hardware specific optimization)

Or at AMD because they have a position open on my same exact research and interest (hardware specific optimization)

[kind vine]

hell yeah hardware optimization (smth the nvidia interns get overworked for)

putem those OT hours kid

[vapid wharf]

Like this is legit. I have applied for AMD MTS for their ROCm development (I never used ROCm)

[kind vine]

LOL

[vapid wharf]

I only use CUDA and NVPL

[kind vine]

when you lied on ur resume but they hire u anyway:

[kind vine]

its ok amd gets access to cuda nxt gen

[vapid wharf]

My research is on the same exact topic they’re talking about

Generative models and shit. I know what they wanted to do lmao.

[kind vine]

ya their 9070xt just got like a x4.3 buff (according to them) in generating images

[vapid wharf]

They wanted to optimize FlashAttention and trying to replicate NVIDIA-only stuff on their hardware, probably new server grade hardware which I love.

[zealous cedar]

I get 84c ish in r23 with no limits on my 7600x with aio. My previous h100x was not cutting it so I went thermalright 360mm aio

[kind vine]

Im behind AMD to sit ngreedia down

and im behind intel to sit both down and equalize everything

[vapid wharf]

FlashAttn is memory specific so they might have some shit like MI320X something

[zealous cedar]

I’d rather have the rat race to the fastest/best cpu
Bette for consumers I think

[vapid wharf]

The reason why I never used ROCm is because we never saw AMD’s existence within the HPC market.

And also we’re Nvidia’s biggest customer in Taiwan so that too.

[kind vine]

But if we want that we cant afford intel to lose and then AMD to lose competition

[vapid wharf]

Intel has Gaudi accelerators and they’re still rare too.

[kind vine]

ARM exists but its still immature

[vapid wharf]

ARM exists but slowly growing on the CPU compute sector.

[zealous cedar]

For sure, I want Intel to kick the crap out of amd so amd comes back with a vengeance and creates something amazing. Will it happen? Probably not but I can hope.

[vapid wharf]

Never.

[kind vine]

Intel wont kick the crap, we need intel to start matching AMD in their own way

[vapid wharf]

Because most CPU companies make money on the server market (we have millions of dollars worth of Xeon’s) and now ARM is jumping into the bandwagon thanks to Amazon and now NVIDIA.

AMD is in a pickle because HPC market is moving towards ARM.

[kind vine]

Who’s gonna buy a 200S mobo when its already speculated that the next gen is gonna be on another one

[vapid wharf]

I mean, Lisa Su went to Taiwan and held a talk. Apparently it is filled with clueless fucks who don’t know how to make proper questions.

[vapid wharf]

Source: me. We signed a $2.4 million deal with NVIDIA for their ARM CPU’s.

[kind vine]

corporations these days all filled with braindead fks that dont know what happens down here

I have faith in Lisa Su

[vapid wharf]

Exactly. Which is the reason why I don’t feel useless on CS job market. I literally know the scene. I have the first hand experience.

[zealous cedar]

I think arm is the future I just hate the all in one nature

[kind vine]

ikr, giving instructions like its so fkin easy to do, they dont even know a single fucking process that goes on!

Like imagine u have a new manager but they are just someone that applied for the role and have 0 clue that goes on

[vapid wharf]

“Friday can you do something with NVPL?”
“Sure”
ffw
“I don’t expect you to do all of this. Continue!”

[vapid wharf]

“What’s your leadership style?”

Jesus fucking Christ these students are EECS students, they should’ve asked some technical shit. Lisa Su is a EE PhD, she should know how to do this and that.

Anyway Im going to Nvidia GTC.

[kind vine]

LOL “whats ur leadership style”

if anyone asked that bloody question i wouldve slapped them

[vapid wharf]

Look. I’d love to be there to talk about actual technical shit but there are people who ruined it for everyone.

[kind vine]

fkin technical interview about tech and shit and bloody fella asks abt leadership style

[vapid wharf]

And other students does the same.

To be honest Im dissapointed and also like to hear that because I have less competition.

[kind vine]

innovation is dead lmao

so textbook braindead

[vapid wharf]

This is why CS is not a saturated industry. The people have different motives hence making people perceive its saturated.

[magic lake]

amd ruining something for everybody

No way ya don't say hrmm

lel

[pallid falcon]

What

[vapid wharf]

And blame capitalism and big tech for not hiring them.

Typical CS people and I fucking hate it.

[kind vine]

istg many ppl these days cant think of a single idea that cooks

alotta ppl in my class just give the typical braindead answers

[vapid wharf]

Because what people care these dayd is “getting the job done” not “finding an elegant solution”.

I used to be like that but after revising C++, my mindset changed.

[pallid falcon]

I am pretty sure it is the A. Temporary solution is the most permanent mindset

[vapid wharf]

Until the temporary solution breaks

These days I found myself refactoring research code just so it can be modularized

[manic torrent]

done is better than perfect

it's almost like it's a balance

[vapid wharf]

Ymmv.

[kind vine]

idm getting the job done type of strategy but if its something im passionate abt ill try to cook smth even if its somewhat half assed, ill just tape the other side
