for coding id agree, for general purpose i really like gemini tbh

[steady magnet]

Like people use better inputs too right

[raw cargo]

I really don't lmao

[steady magnet]

Is it free

[raw cargo]

Mostly iirc

[plain gale]

very limited but for a few tries yes

[sage sun]

I dont know whats the deal with art

Ive not seen a single good piece

by these services

i think a lot of it is going to just burst at some point, these services are being subsidized by investors at a constant loss

I dont know why they thought announcing an OpenAI branded phone would do them much good, no one's going to buy a brick

[viscid elm]

Good npu maybe?

[sage sun]

selling point is you have to be a part of the religion

[viscid elm]

What phone do you have

[sage sun]

obama phone

[viscid elm]

As with mine it's so funny when I use the camera as I can see the built in machine recognition working

And there we see it

Ai is not just llms

[sage sun]

ai doesnt exist

[viscid elm]

Ai is so much from better autocorrect to camera focus to voice assistants

[viscid elm]

True ai

I'm just using the marketing lingo

[steady magnet]

The CEO of astronomer resigned

W Coldplay

[sage sun]

He doesnt even have a telescope

[viscid elm]

There is so much potential in ai that we have yet to use or even find

[steady magnet]

Real asl

[sage sun]

ai is working out well for Tesla robotaxis

[steady magnet]

What I find funny af is the fact he was CEO and she was HR. The two most hated roles in a company (with caveats)

[warped burrow]

Ai is already killing itself

Cuz AI trains on internet data but the internet is filled with so much Ai that the Ai is starting to train on Itself

[viscid elm]

You mean LLM

[steady magnet]

This is why there's so many Bot checks now right

To prevent gpt from scavenging copyrighted shi

Yeah but they've gotten more and more annoying over the years

[lime remnant]

Never actually seen a 5080 in a store before… they even had a couple of 5070. Melbourne FL Best Buy.

[latent kiln]

how much was it

[lime remnant]

I didn’t look at the 5070 but the 5080 was 1579

[latent kiln]

https://tenor.com/bRbxa.gif

AUD I presume

Wait

[queen glen]

Is that microcenter?

[latent kiln]

Melbourne FL?

[latent kiln]

He said Best Buy lol

[lime remnant]

USD - and it was Best Buy

[queen glen]

Ohh oops, mbb

[latent kiln]

1600 USD is rough

I will never buy a GPU upgrade until I can get a meaningful performance boost for less than $1k

I currently have a 3080 10GB

[queen glen]

Sweet, I upgraded my gpu, not by much

But I bought a 2070 super for like 136

[lime remnant]

Too much for my blood. I wanted an FE at the 999 price point until I heard about the melting connectors. Anything over $1000 is crazy. Even the 5080 is tough to justify when my current setup with a 3060ti plays everything I ask, although I am starting to get minor hitching in modern titles. Expedition 33 was a bit rough.

[potent sundial]

Nice small group chat with Luke at opensauce this afternoon, and he brought friends!

[steady magnet]

Now I'm gonna have my revenge on the twat that talked shit about me and my gf

[cursive pumice]

[hot tartan]

if you need a bot to roast someone back you already lost

[steady magnet]

I know I lost.

But whatever they crashed out over is plain stupid

It was a debate over Final fantasy

Also the server i was on is full of racist fucks spewing the classic insults given to Indians

[heady flicker]

is it about when is the final final fantasy

[steady magnet]

🤔

That IS a good question

I've always wondered why it's called final fantasy too

Anyway

It's just that I don't like racists dehumanising shit for no reason

[steady magnet]

I removed my nationality from steam for this reason

[steady magnet]

So like I was wondering

Is there still any utility to internet cafes in this day and age

[dense cloak]

Depends on region of the world

Asia they’re still really popular

Cultural differences tho

In the West it’s looked down upon to live with ur parents in ur 20s when ur not in college

In Asia it’s not

And sometimes you don’t wanna deal with nagging mother while you play League or Genshin or whatever is popular in Asia rn

[echo sluice]

how do people even find pricing errors

a guy in my server got some asus rog aio for like $30

because another person found the pricing error

[winged spire]

I follow an account on twitter that posts them

its just good deals

[kind vine]

i found a pricing error for a 5070ti gaming oc and they refunded me the money

[echo sluice]

ye there was another product, he got refunded for it but not for the aio

same store

[echo sluice]

ah i see

btw what happened to metaverse

hey all i recently wrote a paper on sort of a digital analysis on LTT. Its already been graded, but I'd like to share it with yall. its mostly on the history of ltt, but ltt is what got me into tech and sparked my interest in networking and eventually landed me in cybersecurity. is it cool if i share it?

[vagrant fulcrum]

Please share 🙏

[dusky palm]

hell yeah thank you friend!!!

hold on i have to remove my real name and class and all that jazz but super excited to share!!

uh oh

i think id have to share it in another thread that allows file upload. but whats the risk?

[warped burrow]

In general you shouldn't post personal things online

[dusky palm]

its a digital analysis. it wouldnt be any different than someone posting a picture or something i wouldnt think. theres no PII (after i took my name off it). and it doesnt have anything that would lead to you knowing who i am. its just a paper on LTT

@vagrant fulcrum id have to post it in the #creative channel

thanks google, im not gonna replace it lmfao stop bricking phones

[rustic tundra]

android moment

[civic fox]

i will use android until the day i die

[gilded quest]

I thought they had free replacements on these due to a faulty battery

[viscid elm]

xd

i just imagine him with a galaxy 7

just getting the notification while its in thermal runaway

[civic fox]

they probably do, it was a matter of time before my phone got hit

[civic fox]

i had one of those for awhile actually.

[gilded quest]

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/16340779

[civic fox]

yep taking a look into it now

[viscid elm]

android 16

[gilded quest]

Android 16

[civic fox]

android 16 beta is what i have currently

[viscid elm]

all i want for my phone now is android 16

[gilded quest]

Yeah I'm running QPR1 Beta 3

[civic fox]

yep, i love the beta tbh

ui looks awesome

[gilded quest]

Yep I'm a fan

Beta battery life is hurting tho 😭

(I know it'll be improved once final release is out)

[viscid elm]

i just so badly want 16 on me phone

[civic fox]

yea thats once thing i noticed, other than that like zero bugs or issues

[viscid elm]

i really wonder how desktop mode will be on release

[civic fox]

i dont think my phone supports it

[viscid elm]

are you not using it

[latent kiln]

Uhm, they're not bricking your phone, they're telling you to get maintenance on it

That's like saying the check engine light is bricking your car

[dreamy thorn]

FiiO just announced the first cassette player with a new mechanism in 20+ years (smaller one in wireframe)

[civic fox]

not currently, i thought you needed the hardware for it?

not sure the 6a does

[viscid elm]

what hardware

[civic fox]

pixel 6a

[latent kiln]

6a batteries are pretty prone to expanding and if you leave it for long enough it can break your screen

[civic fox]

i never do that, it just heats up like im frying french fries in an oven or something

[gilded quest]

Yeah been pretty solid

[viscid elm]

what does that too have 125w charging

[civic fox]

i think i use 45w charging iirc

[viscid elm]

ew

slow

[civic fox]

its a 4 year old anker charger man what else am i gonna do

[viscid elm]

i still cant believe my 380$ phone came and can do it

[gilded quest]

The 6a does somewhere between 18 and 25w

[civic fox]

the google messages has had some nice improvements too, (if you use it that is)

[latent kiln]

A new battery is like $80-100 with labor @civic fox

[civic fox]

i dont have that money

[latent kiln]

Well wait until you do

[gilded quest]

I do

[latent kiln]

But don't ignore the warning

[gilded quest]

Does your phone qualify for the free replacement?

[civic fox]

grabbing the imei now, will let you know

[latent kiln]

That's mostly with the 4a not the 6a

[civic fox]

well it seems i can make a choice

[latent kiln]

I'd do the second one and get it repaired at a local shop as long as they can get an OEM battery

Quicker and easier

Unless there's a Google service center close to you

[civic fox]

my local shop is a radioshack, and they buy used parts :(

i know they do because i worked there

[latent kiln]

Unless you live in the middle of nowhere I guarantee you there's a place near you

[dusky jacinth]

Where was the announcement at?

[civic fox]

a google center? i mean not in my current city.

i can check if there is one in another city though

[gilded quest]

There aren't any sales on the Google store right now so I'd stay away from #3

alright.

[gilded quest]

They may have a partnership with a 3rd party shop called ubreakifix

[dusky jacinth]

Ah, okay then.

[dreamy thorn]

New motor and head developed for it, since pancake brushless motors that are usable in walkmans don't exist anymore, and magnetic heads have the same issue

[gilded quest]

#2 let's you have the most flexibility

[dusky jacinth]

I'm curious if they'll do the same sort of effort for cd players next.

[gilded quest]

Pixel 6a is approaching end of its service life, so I think option #1 is the least attractive

[alpine gale]

That phone was released almost 3 years ago - batteries are just chemical reactions in a very small space - they eventually wear out, some sooner than others. The fact that your phone is warning you about a possible battery replacement is not, by definition, "bricking" your phone...

[civic fox]

it has one more os upgrade left and thats about it

android 17

google extended it

[gilded quest]

I'd probably try to get an 8a used with the $100 cash payment

But you have options

[dreamy thorn]

I mean their cd player is completely usable, but it could use with a smaller mech, they are basically using a PC mechanism lol

[civic fox]

i mean it may have released 3 years ago, but i bought it brand new this year.

not that it changes anything but oh well

[gilded quest]

You bought it brand new?

[civic fox]

yea

[gilded quest]

Like old stock for cheap?

[alpine gale]

That's great. Unfortunately, battery chemistry doesn't care when you bought it. Battery chemistry only cares when the battery was manufactured. I've seen people buy a new-old-stock Dell XPS 9570 (back in 2018-2019 ish) whose battery died within 6 months of use, likely because the battery had been sitting dead flat in the laptop on the shelf for months.

[civic fox]

i mean it would be old stock considering its been out for a few years

[gilded quest]

I hope it was cheap

[civic fox]

yea i know. i knew i needed to upgrade sooner or later, just didnt expect it to be this soon

[civic fox]

140 USD.

[gilded quest]

Take the cash payment and use the $40 phone till it dies on ya

[alpine gale]

I hear ya. It sucks even more so because manufacturers don't make these devices with replaceable batteries anymore. We live in a disposable society.

[gilded quest]

To give Google a small amount of credit regarding the faulty battery his unit has
Free replacement, cash payment, enhanced store credit for a new device

[civic fox]

i upgraded to it because i had a A14 and it was the worse phone, and this was cheap. if i knew how to replace it myself i wouild. im just not that skilled, they need to make replaceable batteries come back,

[gilded quest]

Of course there shouldn't have been faulty batteries to begin with, but their options to make it right are quite acceptable

[civic fox]

and considering the back is glass, and i know i would break it.

so option 2 then i guess?

[gilded quest]

6a back is plastic, however i am not sure how you enter the phone

[civic fox]

must be fake glass then

[alpine gale]

Oh heck yeah. Family members have gone through the whole "cheap Samsung phone" train at the advice of the mobile carrier store they buy from. Worst decision ever. Look, family members; you bought an extremely basic phone with limited RAM and storage. If you don't want it to freeze up and be full all the time... buy a better phone. I can't "fix" a crappy product.

[viscid elm]

never going samsung

motarola just too good

god i love my phone

[civic fox]

i started with a S8 (great phone btw) a13 and a14, and i decided that was enough, i was hoping this would last me til android 17 and then i could replace it. seems that is not the case.

[alpine gale]

Oh, what do you have? I also finally caved and replaced my OnePlus 5T with a Moto Razr Plus 2024. We'll see how long the foldy screen lasts, but so far I'm enjoying it.

[civic fox]

i will try to aim for an 8a or a nothing phone 2.

both seem great to me anyway.

[viscid elm]

Motorola edge 50 pro with 12GB of ram 125w charging that came with such a charger its also PD 3.0 so other devices can get a max of 100w, 144hz screen and 512GB of storage and all I paid was 380USD converted new
good nuf camera and should go to andorid 17

[alpine gale]

A couple I know bought Pixel 8a's during Prime Day sales last year. I haven't heard any complaints from them, and they're definitely more on the power user side of things.

[viscid elm]

fun fact i ordered a CMF phone 2 pro then when waiting for it to come back in stock i saw it

[alpine gale]

Wait, $380 USD? Did it fall off a truck?!? That's WAY under MSRP.

[civic fox]

well that is good to know then, i myself do photography, and doom scroll xD. both phones should do alright there

[civic fox]

so option 2 it is, i will put this money to good use.

[viscid elm]

well now its more like 373USD

meant to be like 700$

[viscid elm]

i have taken so many cat pics the past 2 weeks

[viscid elm]

about the price of a CMF phone 2 pro with a 65w charger

[civic fox]

hell yeah, i take landscape pics, and weather ones. i dont have a cat yet to take pictures of. i will soon though.

[viscid elm]

its such a amazing phone

[viscid elm]

i cant have a cat

[civic fox]

sadge

[alpine gale]

Damn. I just had to go looking. If this didn't have a MediaTek processor, I'd consider importing it instead of the Razr. 😄
https://www.motorola.com/se/sv/p/phones/moto/moto-thinkphone/25-by-motorola/pmipmhg39mp?pn=PB5W0001SE

[viscid elm]

what is wrong with mediatek

[civic fox]

its kinda ass, and there network chips are especially crap

[viscid elm]

it doesn't

Source me right now

[alpine gale]

?

[viscid elm]

those are for the cmf phone :3

[alpine gale]

No need to source you. My screenshot is directly from Motorola's website.

[viscid elm]

that is a thinkphone

i got the motarola edge 50 pro

[viscid elm]

how did you manage to get to the think phone

[alpine gale]

I didn't? I said I would love to import it if if if it didn't have a MediaTek processor.

[viscid elm]

o that phone aaaaaaaaa

i thought you were looking at my phone xd

[alpine gale]

Oh yeah no wsorry. I wasn't saying your phone had this processor. 😄 Was just commenting on the fact that Motorola SE sells a larger lineup of their phones.

Up here in Canada I can't even buy official cases for my phone because Motorola's site doesn't list them. "Screw you, hope you don't drop your phone!" 😦

[viscid elm]

mine came with a case :3

[supple pawn]

I am still rocking an edge+ 2023

I love the thing

Tho the newest update seems to have hastened the battery drain

[alpine gale]

Yeah and a charger probably, because once again... EU power! I understand the whole "don't provide a charger because it might just sit in a drawer collecting dust" but ... for $1000+ I expect to receive a charger and case in the box. Alas, I expect too much. 🤷

[supple pawn]

Mine came with a 68 watt charger

[viscid elm]

mine came with a 125W one in the box of a 380$ phone :3

[viscid elm]

weak

[alpine gale]

I've read that online... I have an Android 15 update waiting - kind of afraid to install it because it apparently introduced Bluetooth issues for my phone too.

[supple pawn]

I'd consider upgrading to a newer edge if they didn't have mediatek processors

[viscid elm]

i so badly want 16 on mine

[supple pawn]

Its introduced multiple issues. The battery drains fast. Once in a while the keyboard will just flip its shit and refuse to open, and once in a while the recent apps button just won't work right. Have to restart the phone to fix the later two issues. The battery issue there is no fix for.

Haven't noticed issues with the Bluetooth yet, other than the openrun pro 2 headset I have is too quiet, but that's an issue with the headset

[viscid elm]

pls google just put chromeOS on phones already

[alpine gale]

chromeOS is going away. They're merging it with Android, last I heard. Eventually, compatible ChromeOS devices will just run the Desktop UI of Android, more or less.

[viscid elm]

well yea that is why

We need a mainstream Linux distro on phones. None of this Ubuntu touch nonsense.

Or Windows phone can make a comeback.

Windows Surface Phone

[viscid elm]

more like linux phones now that android is becoming even more open in some ways

and destkop mode is so massive on some phones

xd the edge 50 pro aka last years model has a snapdragon while this years model has a mediatek

[winged spire]

What we need is to lock all the Linux users up

[civic fox]

why tho?

[winged spire]

The kid that hacked rockstar got life in a mental hospital so I feel like that’s only fitting to put the rest of the Linux users there

[civic fox]

i've been to places like that, i dont wanna go back

[winged spire]

Free grippy sock vacations

[viscid elm]

uuuhhhh no av1? on da 50

[alpine gale]

lolwut? no, we need to reward people who find security flaws in products to encourage more white-hat hacking. otherwise, we'll just perpetuate a world where black-hat hacking pays more.

[craggy rose]

this is ,D

[winged spire]

I meant Linux users in general

[alpine gale]

it's like how that US state tried to criminalize right-clicking webpages to view their source code. like what? no, you need to NOT PUBLISH SSN's PUBLICLY. dummies.

[winged spire]

Not just white hats 😈

That shits crazy thoguh

He’s like 17 and got life in prison for hacking rockstar and Nvidia lol

Apparently not mentally fit for normal
Prison

[alpine gale]

Hey, so we accidentally published the location of our ice cream freezer, left it unlocked, and placed signs on it saying "free ice cream" BUT DON'T YOU DARE take any.

[winged spire]

He was in police custody for hacking Nvidia, and whilst in custody he hacked rockstar and leaked all that gta 6 stuff with a cellphone and amazon firestick

[distant wren]

where?

[alpine gale]

Ah, so it's all Amazon's fault! I knew cutting down the Amazon rainforest would lead to insanity. The Lorax was right all along.

[alpine gale]

123 Fake Street. Next to the old fireworks factory.

[winged spire]

Without the rainforest think how many parking lots we could fit

More open? Isn't Google closing source down?

[alpine gale]

Not to my knowledge? AOSP is still going strong.

[strange elk]

Yea for now anyway. I don't know enough about android development I just know about the device profiles thing for pixels and them moving the development itself in house whatever that really means

[restive lion]

Except for all the pieces that are abandoned in favour of their closed source counterparts

[latent kiln]

Id rather use a Galaxy S8 than any Motorola lol

[viscid elm]

Wow

I would never touch samsung again after my Motorola

[winged spire]

samsung devices 🤮

[latent kiln]

Yall wrong for that

Samsung devices are built so much better than Motorolas it’s not even remotely close

You can say they’re overpriced but the build quality of Motorolas is dogshit

[winged spire]

samsung

build quality

[latent kiln]

I have to buy a new battery for every screen repair because their batteries are held in with glue so strong that it effectively cannot be removed without damaging the battery

[latent kiln]

What gripes do you have with Samsung build quality

[winged spire]

its bad

[latent kiln]

Have you ever even opened a Samsung phone or a Motorola phone before

[winged spire]

in almost every single one of their devices

[latent kiln]

How??

[winged spire]

I have personally repaired well over 1000 samsung phones

so yes, Im quite familiar

[latent kiln]

Samsung S series phones are built extremely sturdily at least since the 21 series

Can you give me any example of actual poor build quality or are you just saying “oh I worked on an S7 once and it was shitty”

[winged spire]

thats forsure what I said

[latent kiln]

No it’s not, you’ve said absolutely nothing to prove your point lmao

[winged spire]

I was being sarcastic because you quoted me with something that I literally didn't say

[latent kiln]

Motorolas have nearly universal design flaws

[latent kiln]

I am aware and I’m still waiting for a single example

[winged spire]

example?

what example, it was literally my job im LITERALLY an expert in this subject

[latent kiln]

You’re saying Samsung build quality is shit, give me some examples

I do it for work too I’ve been doing phone repair for almost 4 years

Otherwise I wouldn’t have strong opinions about this

Also keep in mind I said S series I’m not talking about budget phones

[winged spire]

im sure thats true bud

[latent kiln]

“Nuh uh” truly a compelling argument

[winged spire]

not arguign with you

[latent kiln]

I can tell you plenty of things that a non repair tech wouldn’t know

[winged spire]

I frankly dont care if you agree with me

[latent kiln]

So you make a statement, refuse to provide evidence, and then get annoyed when confronted

Very smert

[winged spire]

I said Samsung phones are shit and now youre crying because im not taking the bait and arguing with you

[latent kiln]

You’re literally arguing with me right now lmao

[winged spire]

you arent entitled to an explanation, especially when youre beign a combative little brat

[latent kiln]

Thanks for conceding then

I rest my case

[winged spire]

Please quit the service industry

lol

[latent kiln]

I don’t talk to customers like this because most customers aren’t this dumb

[winged spire]

oh buddy

you just revealed it

if you actually were a repair tech youd know that EVERY customer is exceedingly stupid

[latent kiln]

Oh, I never said they weren’t. I just said that you were more so

[winged spire]

do you even know what an octa kit is?

[latent kiln]

Is that an adhesive thing

[winged spire]

LMAO

[latent kiln]

We aren’t a Samsung official shop I don’t know brand name tools

[winged spire]

lmao lmao lmao

insane

[latent kiln]

Wow you’re so smart

I didn’t know the name of one thing

[winged spire]

"one thing"

lmao

me when I dont know how to repair samsung products

[latent kiln]

SCP when did they start putting battery pulltabs in

[winged spire]

good thing pulltabs arent a requirement

[latent kiln]

Oh so you don’t know?

[winged spire]

they never work anyway

[latent kiln]

Lmao lmao lmao lmao looks like you’re not a real Samsung tech

[winged spire]

You dont even know what a samsung screen kit is called its painfully obviously youre not familiar with the repair process

[latent kiln]

Are you assuming I work at a Samsung official repair shop?

I work and always have worked at independent shops

[oak pier]

generally people that claim they do repairs of samsung devices know about tools that are commonly used for samsung devices

[latent kiln]

He's referencing a specific tool or tools that I am not aware of. I can literally send a video of myself doing a Samsung repair next I get a phone in

[winged spire]

im refering to samsung screen kits

its not a spesific tool lmao

[latent kiln]

Yeah we call those Service Packs

We get them from MobileSentrix

[winged spire]

lmao

[latent kiln]

So you're not even saying "you don't know about this thing" you're saying "you don't know this vendor-specific name for this thing that you use"

[winged spire]

im saying youre stpid

TLDR

this must mean youve never done any form of training to repair these devices which is pretty concerning

even 3rd party guides refer to octa kits

[latent kiln]

That's like asking a mechanic "do you know <insert name of car>" and they say no and you say "LMAOOOOO YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT CAR IS!" and it turns out it's just what they call a Honda Civic in France

[winged spire]

thats like asking a ford mecahnic if they know what ecoboost means

[latent kiln]

"If you haven't had official training you're not a real repair technician"

[winged spire]

you really are stupid

[latent kiln]

So we're just gatekeeping now because I'm not good enough as long as I haven't had the same "official" training you had

[winged spire]

I literally mentioned 3rd party guides also say octa kit

its clear you havent had ANY training

YOURE the only one that said official, I explicitly stated more than just offical but it must of slid off

like are you even reading the messages im typing

youre not good enough as long as you havent read literally any repair guide for these products

frankly its pretty irresponsible for your employer to not require a level of training

[harsh quartz]

Yes, yes they are.

[winged spire]

every job dealing with customers will teach you this

[harsh quartz]

Any job dealing with any average member of the public, not even customers

[latent kiln]

I don't see you in the mobile repair discords SCP

[viscid elm]

What

[civic fox]

lmao what?

[latent kiln]

It's almost as if spending 3-4 years doing something gives you a good idea of how to do it even if you never had training

[winged spire]

insane

[latent kiln]

AND HE CAN'T EVEN SPELL

Absolutely crazy this guy is nuts

[harsh quartz]

Or you’ve been doing it badly for 3-4 years

[supple pawn]

Now, now children, let's play nice with each other lol

[latent kiln]

Thousands of customers say otherwise

[winged spire]

oh hhohohoh guys he misspelled something thats crazy!! argument won

[harsh quartz]

An anecdote about anecdotes

[civic fox]

this is hilarious to watch tbh.

[winged spire]

Ive come to the conclusion that this guy has to be like 14

[latent kiln]

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S22+Ultra+Screen+and+Battery+Assembly+Replacement/155140

Find me a mention of Octa kits in here

[supple pawn]

I'm in my front yard watching the squirrels

[wise yew]

Listening to old Tech Quickie videos, and wow, Linus sounded much higher pitched back then.

[civic fox]

nice, im watching a guy test a briar pipe for the first time. quite peaceful if you ask me.

[supple pawn]

I put up 2 bird feeders a year ago. The squirrels drain them 3 times a week. They're now all fat af.

[harsh quartz]

I’m taking a break from net+ studying :p

[winged spire]

briar pipe?

[latent kiln]

Yall this might sound like a good argument to say "techs without training aren't techs" but he's literally just making the argument equivalent of "you're not a real programmer if you don't have a CS degree"

[wise yew]

Just curious, anybody used the Trash Can Mac Pro before?

[supple pawn]

I'm watching them shimmy up the pole to get to the food. I may just lube up the pole to see the hilarity.

[winged spire]

oh

[harsh quartz]

So.. you put up squirrel feeders?

[supple pawn]

Essentially yes lol

[latent kiln]

Sorry I've been slow to respond, I've been helping customers with their phones intermittently 😛

[supple pawn]

I intended on feeding the squirrels. I like the squirrels.

[winged spire]

(another made up summizaation that didnt happen)

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/itf18d-gif-18097048

[civic fox]

yes

[winged spire]

oh like a tobacco pipe

[civic fox]

yes

[winged spire]

i see

[latent kiln]

Oh so you're not making the argument that untrained technicians cannot gain the ability to work on phones through experience then?

[harsh quartz]

Gandalfs drug of choice

[supple pawn]

Hookah is the way to go

[civic fox]

he tested that as well

[wise yew]

[harsh quartz]

(Although it probably wasn’t tobacco in gandalfs pipe)

[winged spire]

if you are learning how to repair devices by experience by using customer devices I think that says a lot more about you then you seem to think

[latent kiln]

I genuinely cannot believe that in the LTT discord the "you must have professional training to ever be considered competent at something" argument is hitting

[winged spire]

again, you obviously must not actually be reading anything im typing because yet again this never was stated

[supple pawn]

I spent over $200 on a fancy pants hookah setup at one point. Well, fancy for me at the time working a part time job in auto repair. But my roommate, a week later, knocked it off the shelf and busted it.

[harsh quartz]

Were you on the hook(ah) 200$?

[latent kiln]

Explain to me what your argument is if it's not that.

[winged spire]

do you know what quoteation marks are for? you literally haven't used them correctly once even for paraphrasing

[latent kiln]

You said "you clearly have no idea what you're talking about" because I didn't know what an Octa kit was

[winged spire]

im afraid that I dont think I could simplify it further

[supple pawn]

Well yeah, he couldn't pay for it. Can't get blood from a stone.

[latent kiln]

Oh so you're saying you've never had any experience in phone repair. Because you will always have to simplify things further for customers, and you're unable to

[latent kiln]

So when I got a job working at a repair shop and I got minimal training because my boss didn't know how to repair phones, I should've quit on principle?

[harsh quartz]

no but you can get it with a stone

[winged spire]

Youve now done this like 6 times

youre wrong because "(something I never said)" is bad

[latent kiln]

Or should I have taught myself as much as possible on phones we had lying around, and videos and guides, then tackled customer devices and paid for my mistakes when necessary

[supple pawn]

Look at this little fucker hanging upside down lol

[civic fox]

lol

[winged spire]

You keep trying to quote me with quotes that are literally completely fabricated and not at all what I said

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-bat-upside-down-gif-14148208

[winged spire]

is that what the voices are telling you or something because nobody here did

[harsh quartz]

This one’s cuter upside down

Kek get Warshitted

[supple pawn]

Uh oh warship?

[winged spire]

bats are so weird

[latent kiln]

You're saying I'm strawmanning you but you have yet to explain what your argument actually is

[supple pawn]

Bats are a good thing, all in all

[harsh quartz]

They’re louder than I thought they’d be

[latent kiln]

Can anyone actually like take a look at the insane level of gatekeeping going on here and tell me I'm not crazy

[harsh quartz]

Except for those few times they’ve caused fairly bad diseases. Aside from that yeah

[winged spire]

My original point was that I think samsung devices are bad quality but now my argument is that youre annoying and bad at applying logic

[supple pawn]

Well yeah, when there in your house its bad. Outside, however, is good. Just stay away from them and their poo.

[harsh quartz]

Well yeah, but wasn’t Covid 19 thought to have come from bats or something?

[oak pier]

ebola

[supple pawn]

I think that Apple products are not worth the price they charge. Discuss?

[winged spire]

yeah, there apparently 100s in bats

[latent kiln]

Your argument is that I should never have done device repair without getting professional training and the fact that I'm calling myself a device technician after a mere few years of direct hands-on experience is ridiculous.

[winged spire]

100s of corona viruses

[civic fox]

xD

[winged spire]

you did it again, this is not my point

[harsh quartz]

Also this although I thought that was later shown to be primarily monkeys

[latent kiln]

THEN WHAT IS IT

[winged spire]

insane

[oak pier]

It originated from bats, then jumped to monkeys, then to humans

[supple pawn]

I thought it was aids which came from someone porking a monkey?

[harsh quartz]

Not sure on that one. I think a lot of diseases are transferred from primates to humans cause of close relation

[oak pier]

you can't contract AIDS, you can contract HIV, and i don't think so

[harsh quartz]

Also it was probably more like biting rather than… that

[winged spire]

Ebola was a monkey iirc

I dont know if they really forsure know that though

[civic fox]

aids comes after HIV progresses

[winged spire]

its named after the river where the first outbreak was or something

[harsh quartz]

I heard it was originally bats but I never looked too far into it

[latent kiln]

This is actual trolling behavior what the actual fuck

Idk man. People are stupid, wouldn't surprise me to see someone hamboning a chimp on the news.

[unreal dagger]

Howdy

[oak pier]

Common consensus is Fruit Bats

[winged spire]

really? damn

[civic fox]

fruit bats

[winged spire]

theyre just little fellas though

[civic fox]

they like fruit

[oak pier]

at least for Ebola Zaire, which is usually what people think about when they say "Ebola"

[winged spire]

I didnt realize there was more than one?

[dense dirge]

Yo guys can anyone help me with a mobo

[oak pier]

it's honestly worse lol, you can't really feel fruit bat bites

[harsh quartz]

The big scary one

[supple pawn]

Is there also a Malaria river?

[winged spire]

I love bats

[oak pier]

there's a shit load of ebola strains, and even more Filoviridae

[winged spire]

I had one of those big ones hang at my arm at an animal sancuary

idk what species but he was giant, like cat sized

[oak pier]

Ebola Zaire has the highest mortality rate

[supple pawn]

I highly advise making a post in #1027757333117415424 , you'll get drowned out here.

[harsh quartz]

Most can’t be easily transmitted, it’s why it hasn’t been a bigger issue since that one outbreak, which was the Z one he mentioned. That one just happened to be easier to transmit, although still not easy

[oak pier]

it basically turns your body to soup from the inside out

[unreal dagger]

I am scared of them except noibat

[oak pier]

You should read "The Hot Zone", great book, less great show

[winged spire]

so its like corona viruses then? there are apparently thousands of those already detected in bat populations

[supple pawn]

Like World War Z?

[winged spire]

just not human transmisable yet

[harsh quartz]

Tom Clancy rainbow six plot revolved around turning Ebola into a bio weapon by making it easily transferable between humans, while keeping its high mortality rate

[oak pier]

not at all, it's a story based somewhat on reality

mostly on reality

[supple pawn]

Hey, I'm still hoping for a good zombie outbreak.

[unreal dagger]

Sounds fun

[harsh quartz]

Probably, viruses are viruses, they’re fairly similar in behaviors like that AFAIK, but I’m not a biologist and don’t pretend to be an expert, cause biology is fucking weird

[winged spire]

its all made up

same with rocks

[oak pier]

Viruses vary wildly in behavior

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/yooEuDmJ7eU?t=14

[oak pier]

they're not even strictly alive, they're weird little monsters

[winged spire]

I know a couple rock jocks and theyre all literally insane

I think once you understand the rocks well enouhg that kinda happens

[harsh quartz]

I would assume they all mutate fairly commonly though

[winged spire]

Ebola isnt even a very good virus

can you imagine what would have happened if symtoms took a week+ like covid?

[harsh quartz]

And yet, Ebola is also too good of a virus

[winged spire]

it disables then kills too fast to spread

its good at killing but bad at being a virus

[harsh quartz]

It’s way too efficient at self replication

Cause it also murders insanely quickly

[vapid smelt]

[winged spire]

from like an overarching perspective the best virus is probably HIV

oh

[oak pier]

No, not at all

[winged spire]

nevermind, I just looked the numbers up for hiv and its less than I thought

[oak pier]

a virus does not want to kill it's host, killing it's host quickly makes it a shitty virus

[winged spire]

its only like 40 million globally

[oak pier]

since it has less opportunities for transmission

[winged spire]

the flu is pretty cracked

[oak pier]

the perfect virus would keep the host alive the entire time it infects you

[winged spire]

to the point that we just live with an annual global epidemic every year

[harsh quartz]

Well yes but I mean it’s too good at it’s only real job, self replication

[oak pier]

the common cold is an amazing virus

it's basically a 24/7 epidemic

[winged spire]

rhinoviruses are even less of a real thing then most virues are

theyre literally just shapes

imagine getting taken out by a shape

[harsh quartz]

…sinus infections

anybody know z fix?

would also be cool to stand in a particle accelerator but it seems like those dont kill you

leave it to the russians to figure that out for us

im sure it would kill you eventually I guess

[harsh quartz]

It would if you use it wrong enough

[winged spire]

enough particles go through

[winged spire]

you know about the guy that did it?

[harsh quartz]

Didn’t he go blind?

[winged spire]

he literally had the electron beam go straigght through his head and didnt even notice until the next morning

[raw cargo]

hallo

[harsh quartz]

I thought he went blind almost immediately

[winged spire]

maybe in one eye, not sure

not the guy im thinking of

[latent kiln]

Aquatic awful convenient you're completely ignoring my proving you wrong in #off-topic lmao

[winged spire]

the guy im thinking of had the beam go through his head, he might have seen a flash or something then the next morning he woke up and half his face was like fucked up and sagging

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, he didn’t go blind, he saw a blindly bright light, that’s what I was thinking of

[winged spire]

he thought he had a stroke or something iirc

then one half of his face stopped aging

yeah look at that shit

@oak pier he was making fun of me for really petty stuff so I decided to poke fun at him for making a spelling mistake

[oak pier]

for the spelling mistake of spelling insane correctly?

[harsh quartz]

Totally Isane

[latent kiln]

he spelled it wrong earlier

[harsh quartz]

Damn. That’s wild. Anyways.

[winged spire]

I misspelled it once, like 10 minutes ago but hes still talking about it and pinging me between 2 separate channels and having a conversation with himself AT work apparently

[latent kiln]

He won't see it anyway, he blocked me because I won an argument with him

[winged spire]

(I havent blocked him)

add it to the count, thats what probably the 9th? time you literally just made a completely fabricated thing up

[civic fox]

wow we are still going eh

anyway

[harsh quartz]

Nope. We were past it. Someone’s got their feelings hurt though

[latent kiln]

I was pinging you in #off-topic because I can't post images here

[harsh quartz]

Damn. That’s wild. It’s a random dude on the internet who’s known for getting into dumb arguments. Fuckin get over it

[latent kiln]

If you had played piano for years and then someone said you weren't a real pianist because you never took lessons or went to music school it would not only be fucking stupid but it would also be very hurtful

[harsh quartz]

Do you know how frequently musicians get shit on?

[latent kiln]

And frankly I'm surprised yall are totally ok with it

[winged spire]

we dont have to pretned that this doesnt apply to most of us

[latent kiln]

Yes I am literally one of them

That doesn't make it ok

[winged spire]

everyone is always in some stupid useless argument all the time

[harsh quartz]

Then get used to it my guy

[latent kiln]

There are literally rules against it in this server but I guess they don't matter

[harsh quartz]

If you think it violates a rule, ping a mod, don’t expect me to care though :p

[winged spire]

we are playing the victim now? You called me an idiot by your like 4th message to me because I both dont think samsung has good quality, nor think you deserve an explaination

insane

this guy literally does live in his own little universe

[viscid elm]

A piano will not burst into flames if you put it together wrong, a piano does not have all your photos and files on it.

Some people even use their phones for everything even for a desktop.

[latent kiln]

And?

Mechanics can be self-taught, why not phone technicians?

[harsh quartz]

Mechanics have training

[latent kiln]

Not necessarily

[winged spire]

mechanics dont learn how to do an engine swap by doing it lmao

[civic fox]

oh lordy here we are again

[latent kiln]

Any old bastard can call themselves a mechanic

[winged spire]

CERTAINLY not on a car owned by a customer

[viscid elm]

You get certificates to make sure you do not mess it up and know every detail needed

[latent kiln]

Um what do you think they fucking do in school

[winged spire]

training

[latent kiln]

Do you want me to bring in a few phone repair techs to explain to you why you're fucking wrong

[harsh quartz]

A lot of times YES

[winged spire]

Learning on the job isnt an issue if you arent using client devices

[harsh quartz]

That’s what votech schools are for

[winged spire]

a votech shop has people that know what theyre doing

[latent kiln]

Remind me what I said about learning on client devices

Also if you don't think the mechanic's apprentice is working on your car when you bring it into the shop, you're in for a shock

[harsh quartz]

You know the funny part about this?

[winged spire]

yeah hes working on my car with the supervision of an expert

[harsh quartz]

Being an apprentice means your GETTING TRAINING

[latent kiln]

For those of you who are too lazy to bring it up, I learned primarily on phones we had lying around that were property of the shop (abandoned, refurbished, etc). Then I started working on customer phones, and when I messed up the shop paid for it

[harsh quartz]

why are you concerned what a random person on the internet thinks

[cursive pumice]

i love bread

[latent kiln]

I never said I didn't get ANY training from anyone I just said I was mostly self-taught. Other technicians around me guided me but they weren't trained in a school either

[winged spire]

ill say it again lol

Mmmm pumpernickel toast

[latent kiln]

So it's my fault I never got an "expert" to train me, right

Or never went to get a certificate

[winged spire]

he did it again

we are upto 10

[harsh quartz]

Just fuckin let it go

[harsh quartz]

Your job should require this

[winged spire]

please learn the fundemental concept of quoting someone

[harsh quartz]

Most cell phone repair places do require certifications to be authorized repair shops

[oak pier]

I wouldn't ever go to an unauthorized repair shop, too bloody sketchy

[harsh quartz]

Get Warshitted

[harsh quartz]

I don’t even trust the authorized ones that much

[latent kiln]

I literally said I don't and never have worked at an authorized repair shop

[harsh quartz]

Usually it’s underpaid teens that can’t get into IT

[oak pier]

if you can't take the time to get proper certifications, why would i trust you to take the time to do my repair properly

[winged spire]

This conversation has clairifed that for me yeah

[latent kiln]

Uh hello it costs money too

[winged spire]

yeah, its a company

[harsh quartz]

Uhh hello the job should pay for that if they gave 2 fucks about their customers

[oak pier]

If you're cheaping out on certifications, what else are you cheaping out on?

[latent kiln]

Yall are literally in the LTT discord saying "unauthorized repair is terrible and sketchy"

[winged spire]

thats the cost of doing business

[winged spire]

he did it again lol, 11 times

[latent kiln]

"I only bring my car to the dealer. I know for sure that they're not ripping me off and they're the only ones who know how to work on my vehicle"

[harsh quartz]

If I’m paying for it yes. If im doing it to my own devices, I’m okay with that risk. I’m paying you to remove that risk.

[oak pier]

never said it's universally bad, i just said i choose to go to authorized vendors if i'm going that route

usually i just do repairs myself though

[harsh quartz]

Someone get that straw man out of here! And who keeps letting the scarecrows back in?!

[latent kiln]

Are you so stupid that you don't know how quotes work? I put "expert" in quotes for emphasis and it was literally a WORD YOU SAID

[latent kiln]

Wait, are you authorized?

Do you have a certificate?

[winged spire]

yeah you once again fundementally misunderstood what we were saying

[harsh quartz]

Since you keep saying no one’s reading your messages, may I just paste this here again “ If I’m paying for it yes. If im doing it to my own devices, I’m okay with that risk. I’m paying you to remove that risk.”

[oak pier]

I don't, which is why i'd never do repairs for other people

[latent kiln]

"You don't understand me!" proceeds to not expound on why I'm wrong ever because I'm literally just restating his own words

[winged spire]

maybe, instead of arguing, you sit and actually use your big beautiful brain to think about the words youre reaading

[cerulean canopy]

Private repair =! commercial repair

[harsh quartz]

Except your taking words out of context and building a straw man argument then playing the victim cause we’re saying your “too poor” to be professional

[winged spire]

My count is upto 11 where you see something, read the words, then pretend it means something completely different to what it does and cry about the point you invented in your own brain

its literally the
"I like pancakes" "so you hate waffles"? meme

except you did it unironically 11 times in an hour

[harsh quartz]

Wait, you hate waffles?

Heresy

[winged spire]

good waffles are better then pancakes

[raw cargo]

agree

[winged spire]

its easier to make pancakes so a fucked up pancake is better than a fucked up waffle

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-big-mouth-eating-waffle-gif-25169126

[raw cargo]

but good waffle is better than good pancake

[unreal dagger]

Waffles taste yummy

[harsh quartz]

But you can just make the batter and then put it in a waffle iron, you don’t even have to use judgement to cook it

[cerulean canopy]

Oh yeah? Based on your own logic: extrapolates new rules to your logic unrelated to what you actually said

[harsh quartz]

Bad waffles are fine so long as not undercooked

[latent kiln]

So you haven't made any argument apparently because everything you said is just a strawman right

A strawman of yourself

[winged spire]

wow

literally impresssd now

[unreal dagger]

Raw water is such a bad feeling in the mouth

[winged spire]

Do we need to switch languages

[harsh quartz]

Hey, whatever the fuck your smoking, please, PLEASE get me some or tell me where you found it. I really need to exist on that plane of reality for a bit

[cerulean canopy]

My pancakes are better than your pancakes

[harsh quartz]

My omelettes are better than your pancakes

[unreal dagger]

Waffles not water

[latent kiln]

So everyone is so sure that I have no idea what they're saying huh. So what are you fucking saying

[winged spire]

[raw cargo]

I usually don't eat pancakes or waffles tho

[latent kiln]

You spend literally like an hour trashing me for not having what you consider proper training to do my job and then turn around and say that you never said any of that and that I'm crazy

It's absolutely astonishing

[harsh quartz]

Waste of Nutella

[latent kiln]

If I didn't know better I would think you were intentionally fucking with me to ruin my day

But unfortunately I know you just are THAT stupid

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/raquita-gif-9201516

[winged spire]

yes, we are all here specifically out to get you

[civic fox]

is there a time of today, when we are not arguing like 5 year olds, surprised you care that much to keep going.

not you SCP ofc

[harsh quartz]

We’ve moved on multiple times when he’s disappeared, but he keeps coming back even angrier

[winged spire]

one of my close friends is literally a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and shes not even this bad

well technically shes got like schizoeffective disorder or whatever

idk im not a phych

[harsh quartz]

One of my friends is an underpaid cell phone technician and even he’s not this incompetent

It’s wild how low they get paid

[latent kiln]

I literally make training materials for my shop I get paid well

[harsh quartz]

And they’re required to get a bunch of certs for authorized repairs

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but I’m talking about a real tech now

Sorry

[civic fox]

[raw cargo]

im stupid

[latent kiln]

Jessa Jones never had any formal training and now she runs soldering training for others

[vapid smelt]

but you still dont have img perms

[harsh quartz]

Jessica jones was a weird Netflix show

[winged spire]

Live footage of bro’s post repair inspection

[gilded quest]

I didn't like it

[raw cargo]

"repair"?

[harsh quartz]

It was okay but it was just depressing as fuck

[unreal dagger]

It looks perfect to me

[gilded quest]

Errr the show was fine but the villain creeped me out I don't need to watch that

[raw cargo]

adhd is strong in this server

[winged spire]

He never read the part in the Samsung manual that says NOT to throw it into a fire pit

[raw cargo]

lol

[winged spire]

Common mistake without the official training documentation

[harsh quartz]

I mean the whole relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist was just ||domestic abuse|| and that’s just a depressing show to watch. All the daredevil companion shows were like that. Daredevil was great though

[cerulean canopy]

Yuh

[latent kiln]

Are you guys seriously listening to yourselves

[harsh quartz]

The only one not listening to us is you

And Linus probably

[latent kiln]

Well I can't listen to you because apparently you've never made an argument in your life

[civic fox]

thats me :)

[harsh quartz]

And me

[raw cargo]

and me

[latent kiln]

Linus would be ashamed of you thinking that you can't self-teach repair skills

[unreal dagger]

Me 2

[winged spire]

and tism

[gilded quest]

That was difficult to watch
||Then when he made random people kill each other in horrendous ways I just stopped watching and never finished||

[cerulean canopy]

🤝

[winged spire]

Linus, the guy that talks about Ifixit literally all the time would definitely be upset at people for telling you to read some training documents

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but all those shows got edgier and edgier for no reason, I guess cause the grunge of daredevil sold so well, but like, the punisher was just needlessly extreme levels of violence

[winged spire]

do you think mechanics read the repair docs for each car they repair? (Yes)

[harsh quartz]

Well, tbf, him and ifixit did get a divorce recently, so maybe he would

[winged spire]

did they? lol

over the precision screwdriver?

[gilded quest]

I didn't watch the other shows

[raw cargo]

I mean thats basically what ifixit sells..

[harsh quartz]

Yeah when they made the mini screwdriver something happened and ifixit doesn’t sponser LTT anymore, they talked about it a bit on wan show

[gilded quest]

I did 2 seasons of daredevil and most of a season on JJ and that's it

[winged spire]

Ltt one is better tbf

[raw cargo]

but more expensive

[gilded quest]

I heard the rebooted daredevil is good

[winged spire]

yeah

thats true, though I assume ifixit is all made in china?

[raw cargo]

I have an ifixit kit and I am not like aching to replace it, it does the job well

[gilded quest]

And I don't need to have finished the previous seasons to enjoy it?

[unreal dagger]

I agree especially the case i cant lose the lid

[winged spire]

its definitely not worth upgrading from

[unreal dagger]

Easily

[harsh quartz]

I tried watching jj, Luke cage, iron fist, daredevil, and then they had some sort of combined MCU show, and daredevil was the only one I enjoyed. I’ve heard the new ones similar to the old, but idk I haven’t watched anything MCU since infinity war

[winged spire]

but like direct head to head, the LTT one comes out ahead

like a 5090 is better than a 4090 but its not worth upgrading from

[raw cargo]

I dont know if thats the case if you factor in costs

I bought mine waaaaay before the precision ltt bit existed tho

[gilded quest]

Most of the recent MCU stuff has been trash

[raw cargo]

I have an LTT screwdriver tho and I love it

[winged spire]

what the price difference?

[harsh quartz]

100%, I’m hoping so hard for DC to make something good

[gilded quest]

But I did hear decent things about the new daredevil so I may give it a try

[winged spire]

idk how much the precison one costs

I dont have a use for it

all my electronics and engineering stuff comes together with a full sized driver or allen keys

I got the manta kit but I havent used that thing in AGES

[raw cargo]

hmm, not even that far

[harsh quartz]

Without bit set, 40$, with bit set, 70$

[raw cargo]

dont take me seriously

[winged spire]

[harsh quartz]

But this is with bit set, so it’s 30$ different

[winged spire]

thats a lot

[gilded quest]

Damn the tariffs hit it hard

Pre tariff the bundle was $49.99

[winged spire]

I dont think theyd show yet

[raw cargo]

wait, 70 WITH BITS?

[raw cargo]

THE FUCK

[winged spire]

afaik tarrifs would only be included in the price if LTT had a warehouse in the US
