usually cheaper to go to the scrap yard, or ebay, and find a car with the front end written off, and take its windows

[winged spire]

wym

Tint is way cheaper than replacing the windows

Like 300$ would do the entire car

[fossil frost]

only if you buy the windows new, buying them from the scrap yard, from a written off car, is cheaper (well, it is here anyway)

factory tint is always best too, where the glass its self is coloured when its being made.. rather than sprayed on or stuck on

[winged spire]

Yeah I don’t want a 90% tint… I’ve already got that lol

25 on the front and back windows

Probably darker on the back windshield

The inaccuracy of that comic is actually kind of disturbing

[restive lion]

The Linux and Mac ones are definitely wrong

[fossil frost]

Where did I say I wanted to have someone banned?

[viscid elm]

other way around

[restive lion]

Well actually maybe not linux, the followup to that is "hey why'd my DE uninstall itself"

[viscid elm]

linux and windows i can see

well now windows is turning into what mac claims

well 10 is

wanna not get malware on 10, pay us 200$ a year

[fossil frost]

That isnt "clarification", thats making shit up. It's been said on here several times in the recent past that users from Russia get reported, and that their accounts can get banned by discord. I told the guy this, and said not to tell people where they are from, because bad things can happen based on them telling people where they are from, and gave an example. And then you have made a bunch of shit up and accused me of racism

So as I already said. The guy can say what he wants, to who he wants, I don't care. If they get banned, that's their problem, not mine

As I said, I no longer care. Banned or not. It's not my problem. If you want to advise them to keep telling people where they are from, that's up to you. I don't care

Hii

[vapid wharf]

This comic was made by a Linux user. Probably broke fuck hence their opinion shall not be considered.

[rare spire]

Tbh I'd imagine the average Linux user makes more money than the average windows user. Disproportionate amount of techies on Linux, there's good money in tech.

But also, who made the comic?

[vapid wharf]

Its funny because I use Linux 24/7 and I got paid significantly less than my friends who uses Windows

[rare spire]

Sample size of 1

[vapid wharf]

But yeah the job is completely different

Corporate intern vs state-govt intern

[rare spire]

That's my whole point... Teachers, janitors, doctors, construction workers, any old shmuck is using windows. But if they're working in computers, they're probably making more than the national average

What does salary have to do with validity anyway?

[winged spire]

yeah no lol

[vapid wharf]

Well

[winged spire]

linux is also going to be disproportionately exposed to the super high rate of unemployment for IT and software engineers

[vapid wharf]

Lemme check levels.fyi first

[rare spire]

What are you disagreeing with exactly? Do you believe that people in the technology sector make less than the average person?

[vapid wharf]

Average CUDA developer in the US got paid around 10k USD monthly.

I got paid 200 bucks to do the same work.

Very nice.

[rare spire]

Again, the average person in the U.S. is not a cuda developer

The average McDonald's worker makes 9 dollars an hour, we can distort the data however we please.

[vapid wharf]

What's your point then? You said avg linux user makes more money than windows users and when I bring up my situation you decided to gaslight all of us

[rare spire]

Your situation is not inactive of a national average, it's a sample size of 1

I'm not gaslighting anybody, I'm simply explaining how statistics work.

Besides, you were the one dismissing Linux user's opinions for "being fucking broke", what does that have to do with anything?

[vapid wharf]

And when I say the actual collected statistics for the job I do, you said "average person in the US is not a cuda developer"

So the fuck am I supposed to compare my job with

Fucking mcdonalds?

[rare spire]

Because you brought up cuda developers?????

[vapid wharf]

And I brought up the statistics to compare?

[rare spire]

This conversation is going nowhere. Have a nice day and goodbye

Nvidia and AMD should've just increased the price of their HPC components by 10% and eliminate gaming market entirely.

[vapid wharf]

Exactly

Because its way more profitable for them to do so these days.

[raw cargo]

This is mah home screen, does this look ugly to you?

[keen mural]

yeah

[raw cargo]

Well, looks are subjective.

[vapid wharf]

I can't stand android since I am forced to join a community that screams "FUCK APPLE" 24/7

[raw cargo]

I think it's nice and clean and not distracting

[plush rover]

hello anyone know a macro i can use to record mouse drag and click

[raw cargo]

Forced?

[vapid wharf]

Or regurgitate the same exact argument such as: right to repair, sideloading/piracy APKs, AOSP, more competition, customizability, headphone jack, not spending 4 digits on a phone, root access hence full control, and not using Apple products.

[raw cargo]

Also I don't think apple is necessarily bad, it's just not for me...

[grim belfry]

iPhones are great

[vapid wharf]

Both phones have the good and bad points but the community ruined both.

[grim belfry]

They work

[raw cargo]

On that part I agree

[grim belfry]

Like magic; don’t even have to think about it

[vapid wharf]

I used to run Android for years and I did everything like degoogle, root, and so on.

Now I just use iPhones and be done with it.

[raw cargo]

Again, not for everyone. My old iPhone 15 would randomly freeze forcing me to hard reset, was buggy, 60hz...

[vapid wharf]

Never got that issue. Should've warrantied it to apple

[raw cargo]

It was not a seedless experience

[plush rover]

pls

[raw cargo]

I just straight up switched because I just didn't like the feel, the inconsistency of the controls and overall I just didn't like it, and it's fine, not everyone has to like the same thing.

[vapid wharf]

Now its kinda funny.

Every model has their own android to the point it revolve back into closed source and protectionism, Pixel going to shit, Mediatek making it pain in the ass to flash a new ROM, Xiaomi asking your phone number just to unlock the bootloader, and none of them worked with each other.

[raw cargo]

Welp, I don't use an Android phone for that :P

I use it for the same reason you use iPhone, it works better for me

[vapid wharf]

I never said it was a use case. Its my criticism against Android.

[raw cargo]

Also the android scene would be really boring if companies wouldn't add their own touch to the OS

Except Samsung I hate OneUI

That does look ugly

[vapid wharf]

The problem is the added touch makes it even more fragmented

[full fossil]

guys i have a 15'6inch 720p TN panel on my laptop (40 pin edp connector)
is it possible to replace that with a 15'6inch 1080p ips panel or higher ????

[vapid wharf]

You add more shit that modifies AOSP to the point it was a theseus ship

You add more features that at the end only works with your own ecosystem, hence making their own walled garden

[raw cargo]

That I hate and I agree with you.

And that's also why I use a pixel

[vapid wharf]

Pixel is also shit since Google latest kernel stuff were not open anymore

So its not AOSP, its A"OS"P project.

[raw cargo]

I can switch whenever the fuck I want and i wouldn't need to switch any of my other devices.

[raw cargo]

Again, don't care, I use it cause it works.

I love my pixel.

[grim belfry]

Idk man, Google Pixels seem to have a real hard time getting through to emergency services sometimes

Lmao

[raw cargo]

Never happened to me lol

[grim belfry]

Because you didn’t have to call emergency services….

https://www.androidauthority.com/psa-google-pixel-911-emergency-calling-issues-3362990/

[raw cargo]

Haha the emergency service number here ain't 911

[grim belfry]

It isn’t here either, but the bug still effected pixels here 🙂

[raw cargo]

I don't know about here

How old is this?

[grim belfry]

This was a couple years ago, but still a major fucking flaw

[raw cargo]

Why didn't they patch it lol

[grim belfry]

You shouldn’t need to update your phone for emergency calls to work

[raw cargo]

But if they did and it works now, who cares?

[random musk]

Is 112 working? That's the mobile phone emergency number if my memory is correct

[raw cargo]

Emphasis on the "if'

[raw cargo]

Try it 💀

[grim belfry]

Do not test the emergency number without following the correct procedure

[raw cargo]

I was joking.

[random musk]

don't have a Pixel phone ... rocking an old xiaomi redmi 8 pro

[grim belfry]

I understand, but the other person may not have picked up your sarcasm, especially over text 🙂

And yet, all manufacturers (including Apple) seem hellbent on pushing out code that was tested in a vacuum. 🤷🥲 "You're a beta tester, you're a beta tester, everyone's a beta tester!" 🤣 Alas, we don't live in the 90's anymore where companies had to do it [more] right because there was no easy way to update things.

hey guys 🖐️

i'm looking for a friend here.
The reason is that lately i'm really into online privacy/security/anonymity, FOSS, and stuff like that. And even some tech stuff.

My main language is russian, and no one around me is interested in such things, which feels really sad, because, sometimes i want to share some progress/experience/knowledge, to discuss some topic, share some channels/articles/resources or whatever.
And i also really love english, so it's a skill that i'm improving in parallel during this journey, and it will be great to have some communication experience, besides perception.

by the way, among all others things, i've just started learning Linux (Mint on VB)

P.S. if you can just share similar communities, I'd be very grateful.

His one week old iPhone 16 pro

On the phones date

[cedar forge]

But there's a reason they come back

[winged spire]

Because Samsung displays makes a fuck ton of OLED panels, yes

[cedar forge]

Apple Unnovates

[cedar forge]

When Samsung tells Apple jump. Apple says how high.

[winged spire]

Literally the other way around

Apple has super super strict guidelines for their manufacturers

[cedar forge]

I'm going to make my last point here.

[winged spire]

You haven’t made any thus far

[idle nymph]

i hate bugs

[winged spire]

You’ve just strung words together

[cedar forge]

At least 18 on the record

[idle nymph]

i squash em often except some i like

[cedar forge]

I made so many good points here

And I have one more

[gusty portal]

1. no evidence that it's a 1-week-old iPhone 16 Pro
2. if it is in fact a 1-week-old iPhone 16 Pro with burn-in, that's an easy warranty repair/replacement.

[cedar forge]

My point will end all debate!

[winged spire]

They just welded directly onto the plastic cover

[cedar forge]

It will epitomize the forefront of all intellectual thought

[winged spire]

Vinyl cover

[cedar forge]

My descendants will speak of glory

[polar fern]

cool, but i am not sendign you photos of it to bother you intentinally, which is basically what was being implied

[cedar forge]

iPadOS is shit

[vapid smelt]

Yeah let me go get a stranger's receipt for you, and it was fixed under warranty

[polar fern]

that community was WAYY too high strung for my liking... the mods anyways

[winged spire]

😂

Bro definitely tried blocking the mods

[polar fern]

if you gotta walk on eggshells to participate in something, you're in the wrong place

[vapid smelt]

But food

[cedar forge]

This is a iPhone free space

[polar fern]

free iphone? where/

[cedar forge]

If you iPhone you owe me $8

[idle nymph]

fair

[idle nymph]

i still hate them

[cedar forge]

$8

[polar fern]

👍

[vapid smelt]

Why hate bugs most don't hurt you

[idle nymph]

ooh

thats the thing i dont hate them all

[polar fern]

i used to squish spiders, but now i take them outside or leave them alone. this is called personal growth -something i guess the mods on that discord kinda missed, oh well

[vapid smelt]

I only hate the bugs that are in my house

[winged spire]

That’s trespassing

[vapid smelt]

Exactly

[winged spire]

Kill all clankers kill all bugs

[polar fern]

i usually woulnt carry on about something so seemingly trivial, but it was clearly them getting angry at me and acting on that anger.... who sends a discord warning AFTER an apology? like .. passive agressive much?

[static perch]

spiders are ok but fruit flies and mosquitos are evil

[polar fern]

i even deleted all of my comments

like WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FORM ME holy shit

[winged spire]

https://tenor.com/view/my-honest-reaction-my-honest-reactor-nuclear-power-smoke-gif-26582644

Spiders are chill because they eat mosquitos

And those little bastards need to be exterminated

[polar fern]

fruit flies are easy. grab one of those sample/travel sized wine bottles and leave it open on a countertop space area that no one uses - they will fly in, get drunk, and get stuck

[vapid smelt]

I have some flys landing on me at work I've been killing

[winged spire]

FUCK mosquitoes

They should go extinct

[polar fern]

flies landing on you can be infuriating after the 30th time

"now i am going to land on you!"

[static perch]

they even install dust filters for free

Whoever chose the size of the wiper fluid tank on my car needs to be shot into the sun

It’s like 0.9 gallons so when I fill it up from empty I’m left with 1/10th of a bottle left

[modern cove]

Can you get older versions on UnReal Engine?

[viscid elm]

yea

[modern cove]

How?

I want to get Unreal 3

[viscid elm]

why

oldest is 4.0.2 anyways

[modern cove]

Because my 2014 MacBook Air probably can't handle it

[viscid elm]

a older worse engine might not be it

[viscid elm]

wait why are you not just using godot

[modern cove]

Whats that?

[viscid elm]

game engine

i would not try a 3D game on that pc anyways

[modern cove]

Unreal 4 might work. I think it only has 4Gbs of RAM when it needs 8

[modern cove]

Well. I had an idea.

I want to use my DSLR instead of trying to render it. Is that possible?

[modern cove]

I can run it on my Mac mini

[viscid elm]

wat

[modern cove]

Is that possible?

[viscid elm]

uuhhh

[modern cove]

I'll send you a video and explain after you watch it

My god 60hz is good at feeling like ass

I do not understand why iPhones do not all have 120hz already

[random harness]

i saw some review that the x200 is good

[raw cargo]

to make people get pro models. is it not clear?

[random harness]

is 60 hz and 120mhz like night and day?

[viscid elm]

Yus

But the speed difference too

[raw cargo]

And just general use

[random harness]

im thinking on switching to iphone but idk will it be compatible with windows os

[viscid elm]

What???

Brain esplode

[raw cargo]

dont 💀

[viscid elm]

I think he means phone link

Also it's very compatible but also trash

You get the option when starting it android or iphone

[calm swan]

you won't believe it if i told you

[grim belfry]

NO WAY

[keen mural]

me too

[keen mural]

ngl best for no anti aliasing

[keen mural]

should i do an a380 next

[solemn goblet]

Drank some tea today. Although I kinda regret it since it made me nauseous

[median idol]

[void ridge]

nah but like ngl its actually rlly decent for basic edits

[solemn goblet]

Tea is great, love the taste. Just irritates the stomach in large quantities

Although coffee can do the same

[keen mural]

kids need to get off youtube and get back in minecraft

[solemn goblet]

Ngl I drink too much coffee sometimes. Like up to 500 mg of caffeine

[keen mural]

isnt that 100 mg over the recommended dose

[solemn goblet]

Yes

There is different individual tolerances but around 400 mg is the usual safe limit

There have been accidental deaths due to caffeine overdose so it’s not safe in high quantities

[keen mural]

yeah could tell

[solemn goblet]

What’s more dangerous imo is there’s actually caffeine powder. That can contain like thousands of mg of caffeine. Gotta be careful with it

I think a teaspoon of powered caffeine is equivalent to like 25-28 cups of coffee

[raw cargo]

I absolutely love this gif lol

[keen mural]

like goddamn theyre on youtube so much they cant even spell creeper

i dont even have minecraft and i probably know more

[raw cargo]

minecraft is by far my favourite game

I keep coming back to it

im better at fps games

especially the unpopular indie ones

bc those have unique movement systems

[gaunt bone]

Hello everybody, I’m looking for a new laptop with a max budget of 700$,
To upgrade from my Latitude 7390 2in1
My requirements are as follows:
• Only new units - no refurbished or used models.
• HP means are excluded due to hinge problems. Said The Greatest technician that ever lived.
• The Greatest technician that ever lived.
• At least Intel 12th Gen or Ryzen 7000 series.
• Should offer solid build quality, good thermals.
• Can last up to 6 years.
• The hinge design must be durable and resistant to mechanical wear or cracking.
• A dedicated GPU equivalent to or better than the RTX 3050 or RTX 2050 is required.
• At least 16 GB RAM.
Note: I’m using this laptop for coding, but I also need an RTX GPU for some light gaming
And some basic graphical work.
Thanks..

[quartz maple]

Hell yeah bro that would be sick

[gaunt bone]

just need these specs only

[keen mural]

k can u find a clean high definition picture with the gear retracted

[steady sphinx]

I bet 100% it will be added

Soon or later

Minecraft always add useless shit, the shelves are useless and they will be just used as vertical slabs and not the intended use at all

And the intended use is bad and no one asked for something like it

[steady sphinx]

A new laptop with these requirements are near impossible even impossible.
You will never find good value in a laptop. Just get an amazing gaming pc with this price. Or buy used

[gaunt bone]

would be an acer nitro 5 good?

[junior horizon]

hi

[steady sphinx]

Where do you live. Am an arab like you, i know the market

[gaunt bone]

Really, i'm from egypt

[steady sphinx]

As i know and what i saw from multple Egyptian groups and friends told me over the years that Egyptian pc gaming are all either used or مستورد but with bad value and a bit expensive because of fees and taxes.

If you buy new you will have the pay the taxes and that will be much more expensive

[gaunt bone]

a trader scammed on me they gave me an absolute noticeable very used latitude 7390 2in1 and even the touch screen worked a few month then failed

[steady sphinx]

Yup, you always need to be careful. Traders and computer shops are scammer
What do you need your laptop for and why did you perfer a laptop over pc?

[gaunt bone]

because i travel a lot (6 times a year) also travel to ksa

[steady sphinx]

That's not a lot, can't you like ship your pc with you or something? If you had a pc

[raw cargo]

NOOO

I have that laptop

its dogshite

[steady sphinx]

Mini itx and small factor pcs are really attractive

Laptops in egypt new with that price are bad

[gaunt bone]

but it will not be portable as a laptop because you need a display, keyboard, mouse and a headset. and i also go offline courses a lot i went 6 times this month

also my max budget is 36500 egp

[steady sphinx]

I recommend you go buy used on marketplace and go deep into it and always go test it and always and check everything.
Used are much better.
I found a "used" literally new untouched condition gaming pc for 2200tnd it is brand new 3500. They didnt even remove the protective sticker from it and windows is formated brand new with its warranty and receipts
You can find better deals if you try hard enough

Can you give me your city so i can look it up for you?

[steady sphinx]

Give me where do you live. What city

[narrow sage]

https://tenor.com/view/red-gif-6589601989238441583

[gaunt bone]

is MSi Thin 15B13UC CPU Raptor Lake i7 13620H- RAM 16G DDR4 (3200MHz)-512GB NVMe PCIe SSD- VGA RTX 3050 GDDR6 4GB- FHD 144Hz IPS Blue Backlit- 2 Yr – Cosmos Gray-( 9S7-16R831-2615 ) good or Dell G15 5530 Gaming laptop Intel Core I5-13450HX 512GB SSD 16GB Ram Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB 15.6'' Inch FHD - Dark Gray (in hinge durablity)

[steady sphinx]

3050 is a bad gpu if you plan for gaming a lot. And don't invest in hinge durability and useless stuff like this, they are easily fixed and completely avoidable if you take care of it. Again tell me where you live, what city?

[gaunt bone]

i'm not playing very heavy titles i play like asphalt 8 and gta and some basic graphical work and i need to invest in hinge durability.

[steady sphinx]

You do 3d stuff or intense editing or planning to do so?

[gaunt bone]

some logo designs on Canva and also planning for some basic Blender work

[steady sphinx]

The dell one is tiny bit better, 2 extra gpu vram and better processor. Is it 60hz or 144hz?

[gaunt bone]

120hz

[steady sphinx]

Yeah the dell one is definitely better.

The msi sounds like a ripoff

[gaunt bone]

you mean the dell has better hinge

[steady sphinx]

BRO don't waste your time thinking about the hinge

I have a 2019 asus laptop and i fixed the hinge, it is a none issue

Gaming laptop genuinely have better materials because of cooling.

Check reviews and reddit opinions about the laptop if you want

[gaunt bone]

how much you paid for fixing it? also if you have suggestion for which one has better hinge please tell me

[steady sphinx]

I fixed it my self + please stop thinking about it, hinges are not an issue. Just handle the laptop gently and close it properly and you will be set for life

Invest in the hardware and stop caring about the hinges

[gaunt bone]

i just need a laptop can last up to 6 years with sturdy hinge and decent specs

[steady sphinx]

You are good to go. The dell one is decent for you

[gaunt bone]

ok thank you

[gaunt bone]

sorry i just found that one ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NCR-HN007W | Ryzen 7 7435HS - RTX 3050 - 144Hz Display Ram 16 GB i think it is better than dell g15

[steady sphinx]

Vram of the 3050

And intel is generally better at content creation

[gaunt bone]

is it good for heavy coding and hinge

[steady sphinx]

Higher vram = better gaming, better experience at modeling and editing heavily.
And again... THE HINGE IS NOT IMPORTANT.
My brother bought a hp pavilion laptop in 2020 and the hinge is perfectly fine because he uses it properly

[gaunt bone]

i use the laptop carfully i think it gonna last

[steady sphinx]

It will last

Again buy a higher vram 3050

[viscid elm]

perhaps just do not buy a 3050?

[viscid elm]

look for a laptop with at least a 4050, decent performance bumb and FG

also its not a rebranded 2050

[cold raptor]

I hate the uk so much , and iive in it tbh because of reasons I can move out od the country because of family if I could I would move to america or maybe japan

[calm swan]

?

higher vram means nothing if the card is shit

the 3050M is garbage

[steady sphinx]

He has a very limited budget

[calm swan]

look used

3060M is significantly better

[steady sphinx]

He doesn't want to

At least he buys a higher vram version. I told him 3050 is bad he said he doesn't care

He said he is just using it for work and some gta 5 and light gaming

[calm swan]

i saw a dell g15 mentioned
that would be better than the asus or msi thin

[steady sphinx]

Yeah i told him the dell is decent

[wispy marsh]

SuggestALaptop discord

[quartz maple]

ill try 🫡 ill let you know what I find

[steady sphinx]

Again i don't think there a lot of options for him

He has a limited budget and specific needs. He is obsessed over hinges for some reason

[wispy marsh]

The only reason why i didn't interfere much

[modern cove]

I'm going to download UnReal Engine 3

[echo rampart]

i hate how idolized japan is

it is a horrible place to live lol

also america has a racist dictator president so

[broken zodiac]

Not even a fuckin leaf is moving

Its 50C out there in daytime

[modern cove]

Is downloading something that's originally free considered privacy??

[quartz maple]

The UK sounds so nice to move to, this is coming from an American lol

Also Japan would be nice but I’m not tryna learn a new language

But also America has the most opportunities so I’ll probably just stay here the rest of my life

[fossil frost]

you hate the uk because you have never experienced anywhere else as a place to live, the UK isnt the best, but its much better than most places

[harsh quartz]

Let em go to Florida

[fossil frost]

if you dont like the UK, the USA isnt gonna be the place you want to go to.. everything that is wrong with the uk, is MORE wrong with the USA

[supple pawn]

I generally would avoid the US at least until 2029

[fossil frost]

is that when the successful assassination is gonna happen? because theres no fucking way he is going to leave without that happening

[supple pawn]

I'm not going to go any further into this convo for fear of getting kicked from the server, but I don't disagree.

[fossil frost]

yeah, i was gonna leave it after that comment too. "dont get political" is a rule that seems to allow you to make 1 direct reply.. but no more.. because any more than that, turns it into a conversation rather than a quip

[supple pawn]

In other news, does anyone here have any experience with local backups? I have a NAS set up. I used to use a windows service app I wrote myself to automate backups from my PC to the NAS, but now I have a mix of Linux and Windows.

Anyone have a bit of software they'd recommend to back up files locally?

[fossil frost]

backing up what? windows or linux?

[quartz maple]

That’s true

[fossil frost]

if you want an os disk backup/system restore alternitive for linux based OS's, https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift

[median idol]

As someone who lived in Syria and Iraq before moving to the West, those two are a massive improvement (though TBF is an extremely low bar)

Although I will say that there are events that are concerning, though that's more "send it to DMs" territory as I'd rather not kick the hornets nest in terms of rules

[fossil frost]

i was on holiday in egypt, in the sinai part, about 15 years ago... every local i met, was in awe that i was from the uk.. and the security guard whos station happened to be about 10ft from my door, asked me a couple of times what the meaning of certain english words were that he was trying to learn. the one that i still remember now, 15 years later, he didnt understand the meaning of the word "wish". i had to explain it as "i wish for more money... i dont have as much as i want, so i hope that i get more".. and his reply was "i wish to live in the uk.. i am stuck here, but i hope for a better life somewhere better".. i spent about 20 minutes, every night, having a beer with him, just speaking english with him, so he could practice, while he was on his break

made me think a lot about "its shit here"... its not really that bad here, especially compared to places where it is actually really shit

[queen glen]

One place I wanna move to is just a sustainable remote place in the woods with a nice big lake

[fossil frost]

thats my retirement plan

find "the middle of nowhere" and then go there

somewhere where it is incredibly difficult to "just drop by"

[harsh quartz]

Montana

[median idol]

Yep, now are there things unfolding not only in the US, but with the West that warrant being scared and concerned for? Absolutely! Though at the same time there's a reason why we left. Because the Ba'ath party controlling both the two countries amplified the destruction as with sectarianism that date backs even the ottoman empire and found it too unsustainable

IDK it goes both ways for me

[fossil frost]

and with most problems in that general area... the british are usually at fault, somehow

[harsh quartz]

I’d like to say the US is still mostly still fine, but, without getting political, that’s my point of view as a naturalized citizen who was born here and can’t have that revoked on a whim.

[shy wren]

Does LTT Labs really not do headsets?

[fossil frost]

british people before around 1950 (we still do it now, just less blatently) "ohh, an area with 1000s of years of history... let us first take all the stuff we like, and then fuck up everything else... and then murder all the people who dont agree... and then everything will be fine forever"... and then shocked pikachu face when everything is not fine 😄

[strange elk]

Why would they

That's what crinicle is for

[vapid smelt]

Are we not counting the Falklands?

[vapid smelt]

He stopped doing reviews if I recall right

[fossil frost]

we didnt even pretend with that one, that was always just a "we want this... and you can fuck off if you dont like it"

[strange elk]

Also rtings. Couldn't remember the name

[vapid smelt]

Uk needs that island that's 8k miles away

[strange elk]

Plasma?

Plane to line switching

Googleable

[fossil frost]

also that entire continent on the other side of the planet

also most of that other continent that allows us access to a load of natural resources

also that other entire continent that grows tea and a load of other stuff

the UK in the 18 and 1900s, would have invaded the moon if there was an ocean we could have sailed to get there

[vagrant dew]

well gents it's time to get my new zealand passport

[fossil frost]

i always wanted to move to NZ, until i found out how super super racist it was

[vagrant dew]

why? because i can't watch a video about men mucking about with a chainsaw

[vapid smelt]

I forgot the Falklands has oil near them

[vagrant dew]

racism or surveillance state... hmmm... oh wait the passport is also valid for australia!

[fossil frost]

NZ is racist, and surveillance.. and the problem with australia is that every part of the land, sea and air is trying to kill you

[vagrant dew]

being in tune with nature sounds a lot better than me constantly being surveyed

[vapid smelt]

And people in Australia live in one section making houses expensive

[fossil frost]

if you go to AUS and havnt grown up there, and dont 100% everything and are aware of everything in nature... you very quickly become natures food

[fossil frost]

people who move to australia do 1 of 3 things.. 1. leave. 2. die in australia, 3. learn how to not die in australia

3 is harder than 1 and 2

[vagrant dew]

dying instead of living here sounds preferable.

[fossil frost]

where is "here"?

[shut lichen]

Idk what videos you've been watching...

[fossil frost]

i have friends who live there now, professional rugby players, and ex-pro players who are now coaches/managers

[vagrant dew]

the uk?

[shut lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[vagrant dew]

you know

surveillance state

[vapid smelt]

Australia banned airsoft guns, https://region.com.au/teacher-allegedly-took-3d-printed-handgun-into-canberra-school/861508/ and arrested a teacher for printing and showing a disk shooting gun

[fossil frost]

it depends what happens in the next few years... we can keep going on with the same crappy governments we always have.. or we can end up with reform.. if we end up with reform, i would move to the bottom of the ocean before i chose to stay here 🙂

[vagrant dew]

they don't have the right to see your DMs without a warrant.

[vagrant dew]

frankly at this rate i would like reform in because they'll burn the country down so there's nothing left to fuck up

[modern cove]

Bruh. That's crazy

[fossil frost]

they dont in the uk either... same as anywhere, they can ask, but you can tell them to get bent... and then they will have to go for a warrant

[vagrant dew]

they do now, that's part of the act.

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/d37BG0O0mFk?feature=shared another Aussie moment

[vapid smelt]

Tbf this happens in the US also

[strange elk]

Yeah I'm not faulting Aus for that, there's other things lol

[lost solar]

in fairness i cant think of a country who wouldn't arrest a teacher for bringing anything handgun shaped into an educational building

[shut lichen]

Australia's two main problems for everyday life are the heat at the expensive, garbage internet

[vapid smelt]

A lot of US states support teachers conceal carrying

[lost solar]

this makes me wonder what the dynamics of a 3d printed handgun would be like. one shot then it just atomizes itself

[fossil frost]

thats badly reported, it doesnt let the police have access to your DMs without a warrant... it lets ofcom ask certain platforms for certain restricted information, IF there is articulable intelligence of a child safety concern.. and then ofcom can say to the police "this user of this site is someone you should look at", which then means the police still have to go and get a warrant to go and get the full details... ofcom have to ask very specific questions, and platforms more or less get to give yes/no answers

[vapid smelt]

They are getting amazing now people dump hundreds of rounds in them

[dusky jacinth]

For some reason, that feels surprising, since even regular employees at other work sites weren't even permitted self defense if I remember right. Did that just change or was news on stuff like that overblown or something?

[fossil frost]

but if the police want to arrest you for something, they still need a warrant to collect the evidence, otherwise that evidence cant be used in court

[lost solar]

really? i lack knowledge in 3D printing. i know you can 3d print metal now, but

[vapid smelt]

For many years states gave teachers training and such for carrying at school

[dusky jacinth]

And composites out of carbon fiber, wood, kevlar, and more.

[vapid smelt]

Most have metal barrels but even without they can shoot a lot of rounds

[dusky jacinth]

Metal 3d printing has been around a while longer than those actually.

[vapid smelt]

Oh and they print amazing suppressors too

[fossil frost]

the plastic ones can fire once, but... the sort of people who want an untracable gun that nobody could ever figure out where it came from... only need it to fire once... but for others who want to use it as a hobby... yeah, 3D print in metal, or ceramics... if well maintained, they can last just as long as any other

[lost solar]

you know, we can print houses now. of course we can print weapons. 💀

[dusky jacinth]

Eeeehhh yesn't?

Structurally, they're not sound.

[supple pawn]

I got that already, was more looking for personal files, like photos/videos/etc. Also was hoping for one solution for all computers.

[lost solar]

yesnt is the best answer for that, yeah

[dusky jacinth]

Decoratively, they work.

[supple pawn]

And apologies for late reply, work got busy.

[lost solar]

barely decoratively. I'm sure they can be furnished and insulated but I can't imagine they do good in anything regarding heat or wind.

[fossil frost]

you can get TS to include any other directory you want, from any other drive, as long as its mounted

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/yyoVOrieabU?feature=shared

[dusky jacinth]

When I heard there were companies trying it, I thought it was cool, but after seeing the kinds of comments professionals had to say about concrete composites, it makes sense it's just not something that will work if you want something that actually lasts... Which is what most people actually want above all else, cost being second or tied.

[vapid smelt]

We also make homes with Styrofoam and chicken wire

[fossil frost]

a house that cost £10,000 but lasts 5 years, is effectively worth £0, but a house that costs £100,000 that lasts 200 years (structurally at least)... is worth that £100,000

[supple pawn]

Yeah I got timeshift on my Mint PC already. Was hoping for something cross platform.

[lost solar]

i think the most force inducing handheld 3D printed weapon i could think of would be a railgun. coil-type specifically

[dusky jacinth]

Ironically, 3d printed houses seem to take greater consideration, moreso than stuff that might make sense for some houses to be made of concrete, like hemp for insulation and such. Those by design and in practice sound better, even if the cost and regulations are a real challenge.

[supple pawn]

Oh well, can always use timeshift on the Linux PCs and my windows service on the windows ones.

[fossil frost]

hacksmith used a plank of wood, a load of 3D prints, and some basic electronics to make a rail gun

[lost solar]

Lego:

[supple pawn]

3d printing a house just seems needlessly time consuming compared to just using lumber?

[dusky jacinth]

Well that's interesting, about as much as ones that could use folded cardboard shapes or blocks of lab-grown fungi.

[fossil frost]

i dont get why anyone would use wood, when they could build with bricks just as quickly, and have it be so much stronger

[dusky jacinth]

The real question is if even temporary a build, how well does it do as a structure?

[lost solar]

it's the train situation all over again. trying to innovate a proven method, i suppose.

[vapid smelt]

Allot are being built in Arizona

[lost solar]

this might be out of topic bounds but its gotta be insufferable living in massive subdivisions with identical houses for miles.

[vapid smelt]

Since it's great at keeping the heat out, and since it unpopular and expensive to make underground hobbit homes

[vapid smelt]

My brother lived in a hoa like that it was depressing

[dusky jacinth]

Depends on layup and layout.
Ours is technically brick and wood, but it's age and design styling lends it no favors, especially after a number it changes that went on inside with the rooms and additions before my family ended up buying it.

[dusky jacinth]

Interesting.

[fossil frost]

HOAs have got to be one of the single stupidest things that the USA has ever come up with

[lost solar]

it sounds depressing to me but I don't like to sound like i am making fun of someone's housing, y'know?

it's still a house. just something about it irks me

maybe because I'm a country girl. i grew up with forest and still am forest. my nearest neighbor is a half mile.

[dusky jacinth]

My uncle lives with one.
He only realized too late just how stupid it was after building his house in that neighborhood and moved in.

[vagrant dew]

does the online safety act violate my human rights 🤔

[vapid smelt]

Horribly built cookie cutter houses, his wood flooring got replaced 3 times because they warped

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/W1nEW9YlZHU?feature=shared hey your working and driving truck is too old and rustic you can't park it in your driveway!

[dusky jacinth]

Technically, I live around a swamp area out in the founding community of what was once nearly a state capital, this said community district being mostly agriculture.

[fossil frost]

im surprised more people who run these HOAs dont get shot

[lost solar]

i saw someone mention the online safety act above

all I'll say to that is it isn't about the kids.

[vapid smelt]

1984 act

[dusky jacinth]

The neighbors are not that far apart from us in a sense?
Hell, go down our road next to my house and it doesn't take more than half a mile to find the rest of the neighborhood.

[lost solar]

I've studied cybersecurity in uni for close to 5 years now and all it taught me was that they are not your friend

[vapid smelt]

Teach parents about parental control settings and devices < make a law that affects the whole country

[lost solar]

i find it terrible how fast everyone forgot about the entirety of the palisades burned down

but then again i forgot, too.

[fossil frost]

if you studied cybersecurity, you should have been taught that nobody is your friend, and everybody is the enemy, and trust nobody

[lost solar]

that's exactly what i was taught. i just try to talk in a sense that's unbiased. if i was saying my personal opinion, my words would NOT be nice. i hate everything about it.

well. then again I live in the USA, which is the equivalent of a circus right now to the rest of the world.

another fun side effect of british government doing things they dont understand

[lost solar]

good. give them a reason to retaliate. i hate that they have to do this, but at some point it's gotta stop.

restrict the people, make them angry. that's probably our only solution.

digital censorship is not the way to go.

[fossil frost]

one particular VPN provider said that in 1 day, they got 1400x more signups from the UK than they usually get from the rest of the world, for a whole week.. the day after that law came in

[vapid smelt]

Y'all just need to take down the 1984 act and have the government tell parents about parental controls

[fossil frost]

tbh, all that happened is kids took photos from the internet, and used that as their age verification photo, and everywhere that requires the photo, just accepts it

[lost solar]

death stranding's photo mode works.

bahaha. just take a pic of the bearded guy.

[ripe panther]

Howdy, I'm on day 2 with a fold 7

[vapid smelt]

Did the uk not make a huge data base that companies can use to verify peoples IDs?

[ripe panther]

First fold, 2nd foldable :3

[fossil frost]

no

[dusky jacinth]

For some reason when looking up, I'm only about to find this one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_Communications_Policy_Act_of_1984

Unironically on Wiki too.

[lost solar]

the USA has the KOSA act for now.

[dusky jacinth]

Ah.

[lost solar]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Online_Safety_Act

empathetic me wants it to be in good faith. real me knows its for surveillance. cannot convince my parents of that, and I'm a grown adult.

time will tell what happens.

[fossil frost]

is for surveillance, its not about kids at all... its 100% for surveillance... everyone knows it.. "kids" was just a thinly veiled cover

[lost solar]

absolutely correct. that's a pill many don't want to swallow.

very happy to see educated people here.

VERY happy. You'd be surprised how many do not know this.

[vapid smelt]

Capitalism already fixed child safety Disney even has a device you can attach to your home network

And your cellphone provider has options for it too for when they are off your network

[lost solar]

i am an app away from a firewall at all times. most decent ISP's have client apps that allow you to adjust these things

almost all TV's ever made since 2014 have parental controls of some form

discord has trust and safety features, they have for several years

Meta could do a little better..but it's Meta. I don't really have to explain.

if anything this is motivation for me to finally go linux.

[harsh quartz]

Has the Ltt forum made any changes for the OSA?

Damn people in the UK no longer has ltt only fans

UK Government Could Move to Ban VPNs After Online Safety Act Surge — Guido Fawkes

[harsh quartz]

Jfc

[strange elk]

Ban the internet, duh. That'll fix everything

[fossil frost]

they can try, but it wont work..

[harsh quartz]

I doubt anyone would be that obvious about it

Now, taking the vpn company’s out 1 by 1…

They could introduce laws to restrict vpns slowly

[viscid elm]

xd its funny your saying this

i just bought 3 months of vpn

[vapid smelt]

Oi you got a license for that

[shut lichen]

I think you missed some satire there

[viscid elm]

god i love not being in the EU or UK or US

[shut lichen]

Guido Fawkes....

[strange elk]

Can you prove I do or don't?

[shut lichen]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes

[vapid smelt]

Oh

[strange elk]

I don't see how they are gonna ban OpenVPN/wireguard based ones

Unless they force every OS manufacturer to disable the VPN option or smth

[viscid elm]

port

[shut lichen]

If cloudflare started offering tunneling to out of country nodes for WARP they couldn't block that

[strange elk]

You can set a custom port as a host

[harsh quartz]

the great firewall of Europe

[alpine gale]

While they certainly could do this... It sets a very dangerous precedent that's on par with internet censorship in China and North Korea. But hey, if the UK wants to go down this path, that's on them. I'm sure they've calculated the risks and determined there will be no fallout that comes of this. 👀

[strange elk]

Brexits

[fossil frost]

the backlash would be... incredible

[vapid smelt]

Oh gudio Fawkes is a right wing uk website:/

[alpine gale]

Yup. I don't have a problem with the concept of keeping certain ages safe from certain things, but NOT at the expense of having to share my PII with third parties. I mean, heck, even the credit card bureaus can't be trusted with our information - why on earth would I trust a random third party identity provider? 🥲

[median idol]

It's basically the British Babylon Bee

[vapid smelt]

Good to know

[strange elk]

There's this one streaming site I wanna signup for but then the Tea incident happened (its 18+ so you need ID to stream)

And it just solidifies my hesitation

[viscid elm]

now i understand why some people torrent 18+ content

[lost solar]

cloudflare is planning on doing something about it(they're being forced) given its cloudflare, we may see something introduced as a middle man to prevent vpns from working.

[vapid smelt]

They should say fuck you to the UK and disable their services for the country 😂

[strange elk]

I love the fact the open internet is owned by 2 companies

[lost solar]

they really want too. i am genuine when i say that almost every company has been an asshole in response to this and i love it

[harsh quartz]

Credit burea moment

[lost solar]

i say almost because meta loves this idea

[strange elk]

Ofc they would. They want to squash privacy as much as possible

Literally their business model

[harsh quartz]

This is fine as long as cloudflare stays a benevolent king

[pearl knoll]

wait wait wiat
wtf youtube just asked me to install an extension

[lost solar]

they made a localhost backdoor a couple months ago that forced google to add another permission to android devices.

[vapid smelt]

I totally would if I owned cloud flare

[pearl knoll]

tf are they experimenting now

[strange elk]

Yeah.. I don't like it but they have been pretty "valve" like in terms of consumer friendlyness far as I've seen

[lost solar]

i want google cloud to get pissy about it

[strange elk]

Google has always provided good service I just don't trust them

[lost solar]

how to turn 70% of the internet off to the UK is google cloud

[strange elk]

Frustrating

[median idol]

Actually wait... It's actually the British Breitbart now that I look more into it

[lost solar]

they could dig into restricting their IaaS and really do some damage

[strange elk]

Huh??

they only got caught because the app started using 3x the normal battery usage and people got suspicious

I don't get how so many people trust a guy like that. The guy who literally said "People just submitted it. I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks."

I wish I knew about this corporate BS as a kid. I wouldnt have sworn so hard to microsoft lol

what made me go into cybersecurity was learning that a gift card can be restricted.

yep. mastercard won't let you use one outside of what they want you to use it for.

ik this isnt the server for it but out of desperation we need the fifth

[restive lion]

do you not have a dryer

theres no shot it gets humid fast enough between the spool in the dryer and the print head

if you guys had a budget building a pc what would you do

Hell no I don't have a dryer

What do i look like, someone who isn't a cheap bastard? Lol

@everyone

[restive lion]

theyre like $50 CAD

[wary elk]

uh
Depends on the goal

I’d say you can spend around $1300-$1800 and get something really solid
And there’s plenty of cheaper options too if money’s tight and there’s a stricter budget. I think $2k starts to get to the diminishing returns mark unless you’re specifically paying for aesthetics

Spent an hour on a docker Debian issue only to find out it was blocked from my work, switched networks and everything works fine now.

I had a problem where I wasn't able to join my MC server because I was trying to forward the wrong port with the wrong protocol lmfao

[cedar forge]

Oh Minecraft? I was always interested in hosting private servers. What’s a good stack for MC servers?

[crimson mauve]

I use spigot personally, works great

[cedar forge]

Oh that’s tight. Is it just MC or do you host other games? I need to look into spigot

Just got my GUI up, I’m happy now. Fuck yea

[crimson mauve]

Currently I only host a MC server

But I havent really looked into other games to host

[cedar forge]

If that’s what you play then that makes total sense. I am just on this weird learn everything about the back end phase.

[crimson mauve]

Oh I just haven't looked into other games, I'll host other games in the future

Currently I only host a media server and a NAS utility along with that MC server
