It’s not a new thing. And it seems like it’d be horrible for the environment lmao

[junior wyvern]

Also I've noticed his crowd in one of the videos seem to be all diesel heads so the message comes off mad like it's a consumer product, really he should be marketing to heavy machinery companies

[junior wyvern]

First time I'm hearing of it so it's new to me

[grim belfry]

This ain’t a new idea and there is “actual” research being done about it

I assure you, heavy machinery companies are doing all they can do reduce the cost of diesel

Many heavy industries are switching to electric and/or semi/fully automated vehicles as well

Particularly because things that don't run on fire and produce exhaust are much safer and easier to use in places like.... Underground.

[manic torrent]

Ethanol is merely a transitional fuel

Everytime someone says "why is no one talking about this", the people who understand it and do talk about it die inside a little bit.
Any time you're wondering why people aren't talking about a thing, there is probably a good reason

[near nymph]

Interesting...

[fossil frost]

the 2 most likely answers are usually "they are" or "because its bullshit"

[bright zenith]

How yall doin

[pallid falcon]

[sly dagger]

EtOH is just an alcohol sure it burn cleanly but it does not generate much energy. it still needs the octane (basically gasoline) to produce enough energy and run a combustion engine well.

[bright zenith]

lol

My stomach hurts

[pallid falcon]

Sorry to hear

[bright zenith]

Fucking TOILET WATER

[manic torrent]

Ehhh, you can run pure ethanol, but yeah there are other considerations.

It's not so much that, it's more about the overall scale and sustainability of it

[pearl dawn]

Huh

[bright zenith]

My classmate forced me to drink FUCKING TOILET WATER

[pearl dawn]

Oh boy

Care to explain?

[fossil frost]

nobody forced you to do anything, you chose to do it because of peer pressure, you always had the option to say no and just not do it

[bright zenith]

I told him no 50 times

I even told the teacher

I didn’t know it was fucking toilet water

[pallid falcon]

narc /joke

[fossil frost]

tbh, unless its used toilet water... before someone flushed something they did in the toilet, its probably just as clean as tap water...

[bright zenith]

It was school toilet water…

[manic torrent]

Ehhh, not as clean, but .... Yes, unlikely to be dangerous at all

Especially to a healthy young person

[bright zenith]

I shit you not (pun intended) I stayed up to 1 am shitting

[manic torrent]

Teenage boys are disgusting anyway

[fossil frost]

unlikely to be dangerous, and no reason to cause someone to be ill... is what i meant by "clean" 😄

[bright zenith]

Even after pepto

[pallid falcon]

[bright zenith]

Well I wasn’t Constantly shitting

But I stayed up until 1 am because of the fucking diarrhea

Anyway what’s y’all’s favorite handheld game device

[bright zenith]

Is that the one tablet with the joycons Linus reviewed that one time?

The OneXPlayer X1?

[manic torrent]

No, that's a cheap tablet in a gamesir g8+

[bright zenith]

Oh nice

I’m considering an ROG Ally X ngl

[manic torrent]

I should have just bought a steamdeck or similar, but I like to make life hard for myself

[bright zenith]

lol so real

Reason I want a hand held is because I’m autistic (genuinely, don’t gimme shit about it) so I like bring my devices with me

[manic torrent]

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-024-09775-5

[bright zenith]

And I need something to game on the go

[manic torrent]

Dude you're on a tech discord. Odds are good that many if not most of the people here have the tism

[bright zenith]

Ah okay: most people give me shit about having it

[fossil frost]

and outside of a tech discord, you shouldnt need to specify "dont give me shit about it".. .because anyone who does give you shit about it, is a bellend, and should be avoided

[manic torrent]

I personally have the tism and ADHD

People without autism don't build dedicated virtual game servers.

[bright zenith]

Oh ok

Sorry

[manic torrent]

Haha don't be sorry, I'm not shitty, I'm trying to help you understand

[fossil frost]

never played it, so i grabbed the remaster last night. gonna dive in for the first time tonight (after running)

[manic torrent]

It is fun

[bright zenith]

So anyone got a recommendation for a hand held gaming device?

[manic torrent]

So fun I bought an 800gb SAS SSD to be a cache drive for ZFS so oblivion will load faster

[fossil frost]

ally or steamdeck. steamdeck is the most widely supported, but is considered to be aging hardware now, ally isnt as widely supported, but has more modern hardware

[bright zenith]

Realistically, im not gonna be playing any games that isn’t supported by windows

[fossil frost]

if you wanna run stuff like fortnite, or apex legends, or other games that require some sort of kernel anti cheat... the ally is the only option (for now at least)

[bright zenith]

What about the Ally X doesn’t it have a better battery?

[fossil frost]

im talking about the ally as a series.. buy the best version of it you can afford/justify spending your own money on/whatever you need... its your money, its your decision

[bright zenith]

Oh ok, Z1 Extreme Ally and Ally X aren’t too dissimilar in price

Wait did discord remove changing your nickname on a per server basis if you don't have nitro

The enshitification begins

[bitter harbor]

I dont think so

[distant jay]

Does it work for you?

I tried changing my name before to say I'm new to pc building here but it changed it everywhere

And the entirety of per server profile is locked off nkw

[bitter harbor]

I dont have perms to change my nickname here but I can do it in other servers

[distant jay]

Ah it's just this server. That's my bad then

[distant jay]

Weird

[sage quiver]

Nickname perms aren't enabled here

[distant jay]

Can I ask why?

You can change your nickname whenever you want in discord normally and it changes here just not the server specific one

[limber dagger]

A diabetic friend got a Samsung A15 from Dexcom (glucose monitoring brand) to use the app that isn't compatible with her old Samsung S8. She wants to use the A15 provided as her phone but the phone is locked with only the app and some weird setting app, she can't access anything from Samsung. The nurse who gave her the phone said that many people unlock these phones, as the company Dexcom never retrieves them. On the lock screen, I saw "this device belongs to your organisation". Can't set anything else than the Wifi network. Any idea how to make this A15 "normal" so that she could you the app and her SIM card in it, and having one phone instead of 2. She's also handicapped so the less stuff she has to carry, the better. Thanks for your insight! Hopefully, nothing illegal asked.

[long briar]

is the reason S8 isn't supported because of android version?

[limber dagger]

Yes, DexCom G6 (the app) needs Android 10 at least, Samsung S8 has Android 8

[long briar]

That's... not right...

wait did S8 never get Android 10

[limber dagger]

no, I have S9 and it got A10 but the S8 got stuck at A8!

[long briar]

wth

[limber dagger]

my friend has a S8 from 2017

[long briar]

oh no S8 is A9 that sucks

[limber dagger]

back when Samsung only gave 1 major Android update

sorry yes, S8 was released with Android 8 and only got Android 9

[long briar]

that's so weird cause I've had 2 phones with the SD835 from that generation, Essential Phone and Oneplus 5, both got Android 10

[limber dagger]

my bad, it had Android 7 origianlly, so two major updates

[long briar]

yeah.

that sucks

Even Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 got A10

[limber dagger]

lol don't tell me about it, when I complainted to Samsung about my S9 only having Android 10, they said it's because the SoC can't support a more recent version.. when the Galaxy Xcover 5 with an inferior SoC had Android 11 and 12

[long briar]

A10 is basically minimum requirements nowdays for most android apps

[limber dagger]

it's just lies they say! I got a second S9 with Android 12 Custom ROM (Noble)

it runs perfectly well, a real workhose, I'll miss the notification LED forever

[long briar]

S8 and S9 custom roms are limited to Exynos only

Snapdragons have locked bootloaders

[limber dagger]

true, and S8 barely got custom roms with higher Android versions

i'm in Europe, we get Exynos samsung

[gilded quest]

PH-1 ❤️

[long briar]

oh nice

[gilded quest]

PH-1 industrial design was years ahead of its time

[limber dagger]

but so I read that I could remove Know Environnement Enrollment on the A15

i don't know how risky it would be

[long briar]

What I'd do with the A15 is unlock bootloader

and flash the stock firmware on it

which should wipe everything from it

[celest marsh]

Anybody know if this would sell for £450 in the uk on fb marketplace in like a month
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/NPvJGJ

[limber dagger]

I can't access the settings

[long briar]

can it connect to pc?

[limber dagger]

and I read that the device will ask for Knox IDs after wiping

[long briar]

nono

it's not the same thing as wipe

oh Knox will trip with unlocked bootloader

no Samsung Pay

[limber dagger]

no but I'm talking about Knox Enrollment

the A15 is under that program, made for organizations that give devices for their employees/students/health needs

apparently if i flash stock, the device will ask for credentials

i don't wanna try illegal FRP stuff

i think i'll let it go, she might replace her S8 eventually anyway, it's starting to get crazy slow and battery dies in a matter of hours

[long briar]

yeah it's 8 years old now

still, you can't access android settings at all?

[limber dagger]

nope, only the glucose monitoring app lol

and connect to a wifi

[long briar]

that's stupid

I don't buy that people can unlock it then

not in a remotely conventional way at least

the two bypass methods require ADB or unlocked bootloader

[limber dagger]

the nurse told my friend she saw many people doing it but even myself I only find ways that rely on bypassing FRP

it's so stupid to have such a device just for glucose monitoring

also because my friend is short because of her handicap and has small hands, the A15 is huge for her

and most entry / midrange phones are always 6,5" nowadays

I miss 5,8" screen phones myself

but yeah, i'll see if I access it through ADB

[balmy tiger]

Do not buy a samsung phone in 2025

There is nothing desirable but the software

[celest marsh]

well not really, the software isnt samsung exclusive, its just android

[drifting yacht]

what do you buy then?

[balmy tiger]

OneUI

[balmy tiger]

Depends on your budget, there are infinite alternatives

[celest marsh]

you can run oneui on any android 9+ devicew

[balmy tiger]

With a custom rom, and loads of bugs, and not any device

Literally 90% of android devices have locked bootloaders

[drifting yacht]

i have no budget nor do i plan on upgrading from my iphone, i do want to downgrade to the s21 5g

just due to the fact the batterys better but then i'd have a worse camera experience

[balmy tiger]

What is your current phone

[drifting yacht]

im just curious my current one is iphone 13 pro

i have no plans to upgrade for a while

[balmy tiger]

You shouldn't downgrade

What do you dislike about your 13 Pro ?

[drifting yacht]

i already own the s21 5g

[winged spire]

Samsung sucks to repair aswell

[drifting yacht]

and the iphone so it wouldnt make a difference

[balmy tiger]

Oh

Do whatever you want then

[drifting yacht]

if i downgraded, its just battery life, my iphone battery needs replacing

i was just curious what phones u think is better than lets say a flagship samsung

[balmy tiger]

Ok

[winged spire]

Nothing phones pixel phones iPhones

[balmy tiger]

S25 ultra?

[winged spire]

I wouldn’t own a Samsung phone ever

[balmy tiger]

Literally every other phone flagship is better and I can prove it

[drifting yacht]

my dad has a pixel, he likes it. i bought it for him and he likes it, he got used to it. he got i think the og pixel watch too used.

[balmy tiger]

Iphone 16 pro max, vivo x200 ultra, xiaomi 15 ultra, find x8 ultra, gt 7 pro

The only exception is the pixel which sucks too

[drifting yacht]

nothings latest pro phone in their normal line has an amazing camera for hte price, holy i was impressed.

and i love my iphone best phone camera ive had

[winged spire]

It’s funny

Authorized Samsung repair people don’t even repair the phones

[balmy tiger]

I think the ultimate flagship is either the Vivo X200 Ultra (Telephoto) or the Xiaomi 15 Ultra (Wide Lens)

[drifting yacht]

i remember it was i think my dads s9, i remember loving that camera.

[winged spire]

You literally replace the entire phone except for the housing and the cameras

[drifting yacht]

LOL

[drifting yacht]

whats wrong with that? i thought sea turtles liked plastic

[balmy tiger]

They DONT

[drifting yacht]

oh

[balmy tiger]

1 bag and it's over

[drifting yacht]

so sad

[balmy tiger]

Literally

[drifting yacht]

we should eat all the plastic so the sea turtles dont die like that one kid did on youtube

or maybe not, then we might die

[winged spire]

Did you ask them?

Seems to me like they enjoy plastic bags and straws

[winged spire]

No lidar

It’s all camera based

[shy summit]

Yeah. Tesla is all camera

[winged spire]

I would like to know that aswell though

AI3 vs AI4 has much lower resolution cameras and a couple fewer than AI4

Also much lower FOV per camera

They also now run entirely different FSD versions so there are a ton of variables between the 2

V13 has like a 6x increase in miles between critical disengagements than v12 which is what AI3 is stuck on

https://external-preview.redd.it/hw3-vs-hw4-side-camera-comparison-v0-i8TzPJefb1iZViMokAHxlDbhFMWlKbmKkgTlxfmcJoM.jpg?auto=webp&s=d31c56e78e0a5e3bc47eeb532a9e07071f1e826e

[winged spire]

I’m on AI3 so if anyone wants to Wile e coyote me you can

[vapid smelt]

[winged spire]

It’s basically been confirmed that ai3 won’t be capable of real unsupervised FSD so I’ll be getting an upgrade like AI2 users got

[shy summit]

I'm not convinced that any Tesla will be capable of it. Not if they are only going to use cameras.

[winged spire]

Why

[shy summit]

There are things that come up on the road that the camera may never have been trained to detect that something like a radar system would easily detect. I think they are going to need both systems to really have a full self driving vehicle.

[winged spire]

Like what?

[vapid smelt]

idk hardware 2.5 should be able to do all of this

[winged spire]

Elon is a fuckwit

[shy summit]

This is true

[vapid smelt]

hey no "hard Rs"

[winged spire]

My FSD on outdated hardware with outdated software drove me flawlessly from New Orleans to Las Vegas and back

[vapid smelt]

i hear that "fsd" is great on high ways and shit on city streets

[hybrid echo]

He should move to Austin then

[winged spire]

That was true before v12 came out

FSD is also far more “chauffeur” like than Waymo/zoox

It’s the small details

Like when driving next to a semi truck it will drive on the outside line closer to give more space

[hybrid echo]

No

Ur wrong, it decides ur fate and that’s it

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLBR39RcyiU but i am going off a 2022 video for this

[winged spire]

It’s extremely annoying that Elon made it all so polarized so it’s almost impossible to have a real conversation about it without people coming in and saying stuff like water

[gilded quest]

Opposite of Google waymo

[winged spire]

Waymo as of January 2025 isn’t a very comfortable drive

It’s like getting driven around by someone who’s only driven in a video game or something lol

I’ve also tried zoox cars which are sick

I really like zoox, but they’re still not as smooth as FSD

[gilded quest]

It was pretty good in 2021 when I used it

It drove better than many humans I've shared a car with

[winged spire]

really...?

[gilded quest]

Yes

[winged spire]

I wouldnt be getting into any of those peoples cars then lol

[gilded quest]

Happily picked it over Uber/lyft

[winged spire]

for sure

id recomend doing an FSD demo

theyre free

[gilded quest]

To be clear this was Phoenix so the literal best case scenario for driverless cars

[winged spire]

Zoox makes these little buggies that are fucking SICK

but waymo kinda follows the rules TOO much if you know what I mean

[gilded quest]

Also the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV was peak for robotaxi

[winged spire]

FSD will kinda break traffic rules to priotize comfort like a real chauffeur does

[gilded quest]

They certainly lean towards caution

[vapid smelt]

maybe if they did real commercials over using elon ....

[winged spire]

I dont mean like breaking rules in a dangerous way

idk how to explain this in a way that doesnt make it seem unsafe

[sage quiver]

Ssssshhh don’t make my OG Deck feel useless

[winged spire]

another good example is like yknow on some turning lanes they have that crossed off section right before the start?

[gilded quest]

Give me 12-16 RDNA4 and 6 zen5c

[winged spire]

FSD will sometimes cut into that to make the merge and turn smoother

not something dangerous at all but definitely something a robot programed to strictly obey all traffic laws always woudl do

like that stripped off area

[gilded quest]

Is that common

[winged spire]

in the US its everywehre

[gilded quest]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[winged spire]

at the very least a significant chunk

[gilded quest]

Maybe the stripes are often worn away

[winged spire]

but thats just an example

FSD is extremely comfortable and smooth

[sage quiver]

Idk about extremely

[winged spire]

compared to other self driving options

I guess spesifically compared to waymo and zoox as those are the only ones Ive used firsthand

[gilded quest]

Ohhh okay yeah they just don't use the stripes here

[sage quiver]

I didn’t have an excuse to take a Waymo last I was in SF

[winged spire]

ontop of the fact that FSD works everywhere, waymo relies on premapped navigation

[sage quiver]

I also haven’t experienced FSD on HW4

[winged spire]

like for example, on my way back from starbase one time the onramp to the highway was closed, so it saw that and found a new route

even at night on ai3

[winged spire]

any FSD past v12 is really solid now

its been really interesting seeing the improvements in real world as I got the updates

I got my car last august and even since then its MUCH better than it was

id have to go to my car to see the spesific version but Its like 12.6.something

[sage quiver]

Isn’t it in the app?

[vapid smelt]

cant wait for 2021

[winged spire]

just says V12

I get the like infotainment center version all the way down to whatever internal bs they use

[sage quiver]

Ah

[winged spire]

V12 FSD but that extra stuff is like the infotainment computer

Didn’t even notice the vin 💀

Thanks lol

[sage quiver]

Wait wtf

[winged spire]

Idk what that 225c2b2 shit is

Some internal system I guwss

[sage quiver]

Apparently it’s supposed to be there

One sec

[winged spire]

does that appear when you recently install an FSD update?

[sage quiver]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[winged spire]

yeah im probablty on 12.6.4

oh tessie might say it

[sage quiver]

Do those apps still haunt your battery

[winged spire]

Tessie gives me access to everything which is pretty cool

[winged spire]

I haven’t noticed anything

[sage quiver]

It was a big issue back in the day

Constant API calls eating the car battery lol

[winged spire]

oh you know what

It doesnt say because im not actively subbed probably

to FSD

[sage quiver]

That’s probably it

[winged spire]

even though the software is downloaded

I really like seeing all my data

I just like data lol

3.3MWh since august lol

[kind vine]

delicious data

[winged spire]

I don’t like seeing how much I spend on electric though 💀

Super chargers are so expensive

[sage quiver]

No ability to charge at home/work?

[winged spire]

0.33$ a kwh is like 3.5x the price of electricity for a residential home let alone industrial pricing like they’re paying

[sage quiver]

Really changes the value proposition

[winged spire]

Not yet

Definitely

[sage quiver]

I wish 0.33 was 3.5x residential pricing here

[winged spire]

It also would let me turn stuff like overheat protection on

I have it set to fan only but in a Louisiana summer that doesn’t do much

[sage quiver]

Sucks for the chocolate you leave in the car ig

[winged spire]

If I was able to have it plugged in at home I’d turn on the AC setting for overheat protection

[winged spire]

Or my fucking car deodorant like I found out the other day

[sage quiver]

So glad my switch to electric vehicles does something to the environment

[winged spire]

?

[vapid smelt]

it hurts the environment if you dont drive over 100k miles or abouts

[winged spire]

.....

[vapid wharf]

Its a sarcasm btw.

[winged spire]

why did you reply to a rocket engine

[vapid wharf]

There's a video about Chinese new space rocket testing and some guy commented that they're glad to save the environment by using less carbon products, as a sarcasm comment regarding the rocket testing

[winged spire]

also modern EVs DO produce less Co2 emissions than ICE over the lifespan of both

[vapid smelt]

https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2024-tesla-cybertruck-damage-long-term-wrapup.html this "truck" had a negative impact on the environment

[vapid wharf]

Depends on the place, since the #1 contributor is the battery ecosystem

[winged spire]

the first engine uses LNG and LOX and the 2nd stage does LH2 and LOX

[bright zenith]

Cyber trucks lowkey look weird

[vapid wharf]

Based

We should make LNG popular again to be honest.

[winged spire]

rockets dont produce nearly as many emsissions as people think they do

[vapid wharf]

But again the thought of sitting under a 10k psi tank makes me feel uneasy

[winged spire]

LNG in cars is stupid and bad

same with hydrogen

all vehicles should be EV or Diesel electric

A bus powered by LNG exploded a few days ago near me

[vapid smelt]

i dont want my cars fuel to freeze

[winged spire]

flames shot out like a fucking rocket engine then exploded

[winged spire]

?

[vapid smelt]

Diesel begins to freeze at a higher temperature than gasoline. As it freezes, it begins to gel. Typically, this can happen anytime the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but most often when the temperature hits 15 degrees.

[winged spire]

diesel electric has batteries on board

use them for the block heater and fuel tank heater

[wary summit]

yea, at JB, thr 256 is like $369, and he got a 13P+ 256 on Ali for $370

[grim belfry]

That’s ridiculous

[wary summit]

fuckin JB sucks

they sell the 13 Pro for like 699 tf

[grim belfry]

Well yeah because it’s new and Australian and not stolen

[wary summit]

not iphone

Redmi

[grim belfry]

But a phone not having NFC in 2025 is crazy to me

Ohh

[wary summit]

Redmi Note 13 Pro is 599 or 699

thats INSANE

they're like 300 on ali, Global aswell, dunno why JB has them at 599

the Pro + is 759 WTF

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/xiaomi-redmi-note-13-pro-5g-512gb-midnight-black

Im about to start selling my own for like 600 and make a $200 profit

and to ad insult to injury, the aussie variant DOSENT COME WITH THE 120W charger wtf!?

[idle nymph]

nothing is cooking ngl

they are making bangers

[idle nymph]

im ngl i forgor nfc even existed

i dont think i used it once

[grim belfry]

Don’t use a digital wallet?

[vapid wharf]

Happens more than you think, at least on 3rd world countries.

[idle nymph]

eh, have one set up but barely any places accept it round here, cons of living in a rural area

also i just usually pay by cash cause i forgot the code to my card too 💀

but yeah never used it

[grim belfry]

So much NFC use!

[grim belfry]

‘Murica?

[idle nymph]

France

[grim belfry]

Ah

[idle nymph]

we tend to use cash or card here

cant say i saw a single shop who took nfc

china had only NFC tho

[vapid wharf]

Ooo macquaire

[idle nymph]

shit was wild everything used NFC even the soda dispenser or the old lady by the road selling flowers

[warped igloo]

hi

[vapid wharf]

Technically if you have Apple Pay, EDC would work as fine if your bank supports it

[idle nymph]

got a nothing phone so nah

dont need anyway i just keep cash on me

[grim belfry]

I haven’t been anywhere that hasn’t accepted card for years

[vapid wharf]

Same

Here’s a fun trivia

The reason why Amex Platinum is not popular in Taiwan is not because of the $1000 fee.

It’s due to the lack of Apple Pay integration.

[grim belfry]

Even before covid pretty much every “proper” store accepted card

[idle nymph]

honestly same here, almost everything has card

[vapid wharf]

Or QR code for payments

I use 3 depending on the place.

Usually I support small businesses by paying in cash

LinePay for McDonalds (bind to my card so I still get the bonuses)

And card for high purchases like at restaurants or smth

[proper flax]

Hi guys, I have a question, I'm buying a new laptop, and i wanted to know if im likely to even observe a change in resolution? For example, I right now have a 2.5k res 15.6 inch screen i.e 1440p, and if i buy a laptop with a lower 1080p resolution, am i going to notice the difference? Is it worth the extra money? Im going to be using the laptop for machine learning and programming, very little gaming

[idle nymph]

i js buy thingsg with cash often cause more practical

[vapid wharf]

I got too much change

[idle nymph]

i usually leave small tips if it something i like

[vapid wharf]

We don’t do tips here.

[idle nymph]

such as kebab

[idle nymph]

i just tell them to keep the change if i got too much

[near nymph]

China uses QR codes more

[near nymph]

Not true. It's because not many places take AMEX in Taiwan

I've been in Taiwan for half a year. Unless it's a high end or chain place it's probably not supported

Line Pay also doesn't take AMEX oddly

[old plank]

Wait, you can add the everyday rewards card to your apple wallet?

[grim belfry]

Yes, and it uses nfc

Much easier than opening the app

[old plank]

How does one go about adding it? DW. Found it.

[vapid wharf]

And that too yeah.

[near nymph]

Amex is super behind in the Taiwanese market

And the acceptance fee is stupid high. My aunt got quoted like 8%

[grim belfry]

Pretty sure when you go to scan in the app, there is an add to wallet button

Either that, or in the Wallet app you can add it

It used to be better because it worked with everyday pay, but I think they’ve given up on that

[vapid wharf]

Amex Plat’s yearly fee is legit extortion too

[near nymph]

It’s not bad if you’re their target audience

[vapid wharf]

At that point I’d rather apply for American Plat

[old plank]

Yeah managed to find it. Wish New Worlds club card had the same.

[near nymph]

It doesn’t make sense if you’re making Taiwanese dollars

Also fuck the Taiwanese dollar is hard to get

[vapid wharf]

Its controlled currency so yeah

[grim belfry]

If it’s a barcode, you can use the Pass2U app (I think it’s like $2) to add custom cards to Apple Pay (That’s how I added my Medicare card)

[vapid wharf]

Tbh if you’re in Taiwan I’d rather just get HSBC’s Traveller Infinite

(I am getting that one)

[grim belfry]

Because the myGov app is crap and never works

[near nymph]

HSBC is being a absolute PITA for me

[vapid wharf]

My parents used to use their service. It was great

[old plank]

Oh that's neat. Would be useful for like my university card. Don't know if it would be worth paying each month tho tbh

[near nymph]

You have to be high net worth in order to get good service. My grandpa used to be with them.

[grim belfry]

$2 one time :) something like that

[vapid wharf]

We used to work with someone in HK and the yearly cashflow is on the millions

And they have been pretty reliable for us, which makes me trust them more for banking rather than Taiwanese banks

[crisp rivet]

Which country

[grim belfry]

Oops. $5AU

[vapid wharf]

Taiwanese HSBC bars you from making an account if you don’t have at least 500k NTD in your bank account for the initial deposit

[near nymph]

That’s not the problem. They want me to keep it in there

They told me I’m not allowed to move it

[crisp rivet]

Hot take but I believe Discord should ID verify

For anyone 18+

[vapid wharf]

That’s why I run HSBC too lmao

[near nymph]

HSBC is great for shady business. Enough money and they won’t question

[near nymph]

?

I’m with taishin and E.SUN in Taiwan

[old plank]

Seems to be a one time $5 NZD as well. Kind of neat. Might wait for my study allowance to come through, want to be able to buy a few boxes for the weekend 🤣 Thanks for letting me know it's a thing!

[vapid wharf]

Multi currency. I can move it with global view which is the point.

[vapid wharf]

Taishin is also the goat

[near nymph]

HSBC is only good if you can get premier lmfao

[vapid wharf]

That’s the point. Im going to get premier.

[near nymph]

Someday… also I wouldn’t trust keeping most of my cash in Taiwan. I keep most my cash in a country that’s not constantly being threatened.

[vapid wharf]

Im still 25. Advance is enough. Once I am wisened up I’ll get premier. Trust.

[near nymph]

Get premier with HSBC expat or something

[vapid wharf]

I also hold foreign currencies lmao

Like my home country’s currency is shit

[near nymph]

Tf country?

[vapid wharf]

Indonesia

[near nymph]

Ah… Indonesian in Taiwan?

[vapid wharf]

Yep.

[near nymph]

Alot of Indonesians in Taiwan. It’s crazy

[vapid wharf]

I wanted to open 台新 too at first but HSBC exists

[vapid wharf]

And I hate them.

[near nymph]

I was at the immigration place today trying to get an exemption to leave. But a bunch of people immigrating from South East Asia was clogging up the lines

[vapid wharf]

Indeed. That’s one of the reasons.

[near nymph]

They don’t listen. The bottom floor is for ROC Nationals. Then when they finally get to the counter they get refused.

The lady next to me was screaming at the poor officer telling her she needs to lineup for the queue upstairs.

[near nymph]

I got taishin cuz acceptance. Some places don’t like HSBC cards.

[high yarrow]

damn wikipedia begging for money, "are we not worth 3 dollars to you , pleas help us" ,
yes you are worth that but ... if i check your finances you got 150mln in donation, and spend 130mln on it on Salaries and benefits, lean on the community to work and edit articles for free, and have 70mln of operational costs , you could bpay that from the 150mln you alrady have and reduce the bonuses a little , but i guess asking money and increase your own salary and bonuses is the new way of life ...

[flint skiff]

[mint sandal]

Yup

[flint skiff]

oh well, damn

[mint sandal]

Yeah can't make a write up threat just because they don't finish something that calls for 8 hours and they want it done in 2

[flint skiff]

nobody would want it

it is inhumane act

[vapid wharf]

HSBC is accepted on my regular basis

[near nymph]

🤔 how hard is it to apply for the HSBC credit card anyways. I'm bummed they are no longer in Canada.

[vapid wharf]

According to ptt if you have an account with them, it would be easier

[near nymph]

oh 800,000 NTD annual income requirement...

[vapid wharf]

Due to HSBC’s new diamond cashback card, there’s a lot of people trying to apply

[near nymph]

I dont work in Taiwan, I wonder if they will take my foreign income.

[near nymph]

oh?

[vapid wharf]

As long as the slip exists

[vapid wharf]

Yeah. 3% cashback when using 街口

[near nymph]

thats fucking crazy

[vapid wharf]

6% cashback if you kept using it on certain threshold

[near nymph]

🤔 yeah I'll likely use my foreign payslip to get it.

[vapid wharf]

That’s the one I wanted to apply lol

[near nymph]

does that infinite card have lounge access?

[vapid wharf]

8x per year

[near nymph]

eh... i assume dragonpass...

I'll probably get a Venture X AU card

[vapid wharf]

4x free airport transfer

[near nymph]

tf is that

oh 8000 ntd annual fee? tf

[vapid wharf]

No more MRT to 桃園機場

[near nymph]

oh it's a free ride to the airport?

[vapid wharf]

Yes

[near nymph]

that likes $4000 NTD in value

assuming you live in taipei. most prebook drivers are like $1k from Taipei/New Taipei to TPE

[vapid wharf]

8x free lounge = 8000 in value alone

[vapid wharf]

EXACTLY. I LIVE FAR AWAY

[near nymph]

tf do you live? Yilan?

[vapid wharf]

Luzhou

I don’t want to take the blue line to green and then airport

[near nymph]

thats not bad... im chilling out in shulin right now

I was in Wanhua earlier

I figured out that I can get proof of HR card with an app. kinda cool.

[vapid wharf]

That airport free transfer means everything if you live far away and the only direct flight back home is 9 AM

I can skip breakfast since I can eat at lounge

And I have a guaranteed travel every year.

[near nymph]

yum

yeah but that only applies for 4 trips. To and From = 2 lounge passes

from New Taipei City is like $1k NTD ride

[vapid wharf]

Money well spent.

[near nymph]

$1.5k NTD if you go for Uber

[vapid wharf]

And 2 hours with MRT

[near nymph]

meh

[vapid wharf]

= late

[near nymph]

I dont spend enough time in Taiwan to justify that card.

[vapid wharf]

I’ll be living here for the time

So I can justify it.

[near nymph]

I'm just gonna get a no annual fee card cuz alot of Taiwan places are being asses when accepting foreign cards

[vapid wharf]

And 8000 NTD yearly is pennies considering the amount of shit I get.

[near nymph]

Yeah I mean if you use all the airport transfers and also the lounge access. yeah I can see ya justifying it.

[vapid wharf]

Which makes it great because it gives you leverage to touch grass.

[vapid wharf]

Oh I would use it all up. I use 2x transfers per year guaranteed.

[near nymph]

do you make $800k NTD though lol

[vapid wharf]

I work in tech.

[near nymph]

which field

[vapid wharf]

ML AI

Im currently working for NCHC at the time being

[near nymph]

I got my taiwanese citizenship. it's pretty nice

[vapid wharf]

Just some part time gig. I applied for AMD which is a direct extension of my research and NCHC work so its great

[near nymph]

I'm stuck here though because they are taking their sweet time processing my military exemption

[vapid wharf]

Congrats!

[near nymph]

Taiwan: Yeah heres a bill with a date that you must complete it by
Average Taiwanese: Recieves it 1 week overdue

they told me 2-3 weeks. they were like yeah we are little busy so 2 months minimum

[vapid wharf]

Reminds me with my work permit

[near nymph]

💀

They told me they are giving me an ARC card. But then they gave me a piece of paper and told me. Yeah just go get your national ID

[vapid wharf]

I put the company I will be working for on the description and it got accepted in under 24 hours

The permit got returned back to me 23 hours after being issued to the campus.

[near nymph]

Tf? Gold card?

[vapid wharf]

Nope. I worked for state owned company

[near nymph]

Ah...

[vapid wharf]

國家

Probably the only foreigner in that company LMAO

[near nymph]

Yeah don't they normally require to pick locals first?

[vapid wharf]

Yep

I got it because I won a bet with my professor now mentor

“Code this in CUDA and I’ll give you an A+ and an internship”

I got A+ and the job and now working on lower level boilerplate code for their new hardware

[near nymph]

lmfao, so he broke the rules for you

[vapid wharf]

Yes

Because funny enough when he compared the work the company does and what I do, he said what I do is lower level (ie programming level) than them

[near nymph]

[vapid wharf]

They have new ARM CPU’s and wasn’t able to run it well so I do the whole reading if cuTensor for them

[near nymph]

thats good

[vapid wharf]

So yeah. Its surprising.

[near nymph]

Lol someone made a phone call to get that application approved fast

It took 2 weeks for them to verify that I'm allowed to have a resident certificate

[vapid wharf]

But hey, job is job

I am trusted with expensive hardware

On done with birthday celebration. Imma work tomorrow.

[terse igloo]

Gotta love the 95 plus rating on it

[umbral hatch]

It needs it's own little pedestal in my room

gotta love the cheap ass paper

[pulsar violet]

After watching pewdiepies video I want to install Linux

How should I go about doing it, just get another ssd and slap a distro on it to dual boot?

[near nymph]

Depends on your system

I love this USB :3

[pulsar violet]

Windows 11 on a ASUS ROG BIOS but looking to just have a simple dual boot to arch on my desktop

[near nymph]

Lol I mean your computer specs

[pulsar violet]

Ryzen 7 3800x and 3080

[near nymph]

Have fun. Nvidia cards are fucking hell to work with

[pulsar violet]

Damn

[oak pier]

zen 2 cpu with a 3080

[pulsar violet]

And?

[oak pier]

wee bit underpowered cpu

[pulsar violet]

Yea at this point I just don’t care about upgrading or thinking about it, not spending money rn as if I wanted to be up to date I would need new mobo and new ram then new CPU

and no need to upgrade to 5000 series as it’s not that up to date

[vapid wharf]

Mom

[viscid elm]

@hardy kiln great psu aint it

[vapid wharf]

AHH AH AHHHH

[near nymph]

@vapid wharf who knew a Benjamin can achieve many things

[vapid wharf]

I mean that's the typical standard of conscription skipping

Money can buy anything, even conscription leave

[grim belfry]

[winged spire]

Insane

We still got 13 months to go bruh

[vapid wharf]

Enough to save up for PS5 Pro

The new Nuka cola is on their website finally—even though retailers have been selling it for weeks now

34$ for a 4 pack 💀

[near nymph]

No no I didn't buy it, I just spoke the language the person handling it spoke

[vapid wharf]

That too

[velvet bluff]

Booooo......and then another 6 months before it's available on PC.

[winged spire]

Probably longer

[coarse grotto]

If I change every component on a pre built pc is it still prebuilt?

[neon mesa]

@golden talon i finally got a really good LoRA trained

cool thing is, it also has entirely chatgpt generated images as its dataset

[velvet bluff]

I believe that makes it a post-built.

[dire bone]

It still isn't worth upgrading from a 1080TI

[winged spire]

Maybe if you only play old titles

I like Ray tracing and DLSS A

[tropic pivot]

Hello

[gilded quest]

It's a low end card these days

If you only play older titles it will still perform great tho

[dire bone]

It is faster then a Intel B450 no?

[gilded quest]

Are you a LLM

[dire bone]

Are you trolling?

[gilded quest]

What's a b450

[dire bone]

I meant a b580

[gilded quest]

Other than AMD chipset

[dire bone]

obivously

[gilded quest]

Not really

That's not even a typo

Also B580 is faster

[dire bone]

😭

[gilded quest]

Pascal doesn't support DX12U which will be ever important going forward

[opal belfry]

Should I get a tempered glass surface for my desktop or keep it surface-less?

[civic fox]

i had to upgrade mine, because it was struggling with cyberpunk, and games after 2020 its not a high end card anymore. time for it to be replaced

[civic fox]

it also is missing shaders, and modern technology to run games effeciently, so nowadays it just sucks power while performing lower.

[gilded quest]

Yeah

I should probably clean my 1080ti

[civic fox]

yea when i get the chance i'm gonna take mine apart and clean all the dust off it, and put it in the box. and enjoy my new 3070

[gilded quest]

Mines sitting in spare PC rn lol

[civic fox]

i have most parts to make a second PC, but i don't know what i would use a secondary PC for tbh.

[dire bone]

what games?

What resolution do you use?

[civic fox]

1440p

[dire bone]

Server hosting

[dire bone]

I play exclusively at 1080p, maybe that is why the upgrade was worth it for you

[civic fox]

as i started cranking settings, the 1080ti just kept lowering performance, it cant run TLOU part 1, it struggles with UE5, it also cant run rivals well at all

[civic fox]

the card is missing modern anything these days. so i have moved on to something that can actually game instead of sucking power while not doing anything. i will just put the card in its box for future use

[dire bone]

The 1080Ti is better then a 2060 no?

[civic fox]

not really no

when it comes to modern cards, the 1080ti gets taken out by most things.

[dire bone]

?

[winged spire]

Yes

[dire bone]

This statement doesn't seem true

It is crazy Nvidia and Intel are the only companies with stock

[civic fox]

its missing proper hardware for DX12U, along with shaders.

and even when i went from 11gb of vram to 8, the performance (raw raster) waas waaay higher. and if the game has XeSS choose that over FSR3 because quality wise its much better.

[winged spire]

I’d probably pick a 1080ti over a 2060

Anything else.. no

[dire bone]

I am only interested in raw raster performance, that is why I wanted to go with AMD, but the RX 9070xt is 2x MSRP rn, and the RTX 5070 is only 50$ more

[civic fox]

if its a 2060 your comparing to sure the 1080ti is better, anything else absolutely not.

[opal belfry]

GPU manufacturers are clowning

[dire bone]

Nvidia is putting all the silicon into AI

I don't want AI, I like CS2

[opal belfry]

Let Nvidia drown in AI while AMD thrives in mindshare
