Hello all. I hope y'all are having a great day today!

[craggy rose]

it's annoying bc you can't change it

It's interesting how we can have 2 mainstream OSs, and they appeal to totally different people, android just being open and everthing, windows being just the default.

I may be eager enough to say that it is the most popular just because it was the ""first"" IBM was just 4 years ahead developing, in 1981

and it appeased a really especific customer

and I still can't undestand why apple wasn't more popular in 84, and subsequent years.

[harsh quartz]

3*

[craggy rose]

windows and android

[harsh quartz]

Windows Linux and mac, no?

[craggy rose]

in the us, maybe mac is on a 2 digit percentage

worldwide, there isn't much to discuss

[harsh quartz]

where are you pulling that number from

[supple pawn]

What about FreeBSD?

Or Solaris?

Also on servers Linux is king, I believe?

[craggy rose]

statista?

android is about 71% in the mobile phone market

[harsh quartz]

Wait are we talking mobile or desktop?

Cause windows was mentioned

[craggy rose]

both

[harsh quartz]

…?

How are we comparing android phones to windows desktops?

[cunning pendant]

what about a windows phone

[craggy rose]

I'm not comparing windows to mobike

[harsh quartz]

I mean, they sure did exist

[cunning pendant]

yes I still have one

[harsh quartz]

I’m sorry

[cunning pendant]

Enough for me. I don't use my phone all that much

[craggy rose]

desktop windows is with 80%, in mobile, android is 71%

[harsh quartz]

….?

[cunning pendant]

Yes microsoft store doesn't work but I uhh call through the call feature thing. I guess I will have to get a better phone soon

[craggy rose]

sorry I can't answer "....?"

[harsh quartz]

I’m so confused what this persons talking about

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but you haven’t really been answering the other stuff either

[craggy rose]

what do you mean?

[harsh quartz]

Originally. Were you talking about desktop or mobile market share for Microsoft?

[craggy rose]

no?

[harsh quartz]

huh?

[craggy rose]

I just said, today there is only 2 operating systems that most people use (mainstream)

[harsh quartz]

Brother whatever you are on I need some of that

[craggy rose]

lol

yeah, your arguments are very persuasive and thought provoking

[harsh quartz]

I tried having a conversation and can’t decipher anything your talking about

[craggy rose]

you're* and i'm sorry if the concept that windows dominates the market alongside android can't enter your mind

[brazen carbon]

fym no 😭

[brazen carbon]

windows dominates what market

[craggy rose]

desktop

[brazen carbon]

windows iOS Linux android macOS

those are mainstream

[supple pawn]

I, too, had a windows phone at one point. Those things were hampered by being produced by only HTC and the lack of dev support.

[brazen carbon]

my dad had a windows phone for work and his workplace replaced them within a few months due to complaints

[craggy rose]

maybe I just used mainstream wrong, I meant the os that most people use, I don't know if there is a word for that

[supple pawn]

I believe if MS decided to do windows phone again today they'd perhaps have a better go at it. They already make their own hardware, Windows on Snapdragon is a thing now, they're producing a debloated Windows. Hopefully they make a Surface phone and steal some of Samsung and Apples thunder.

[cunning pendant]

I still have a windows phone. Honestly I could use even a nokia 3330 if it would make phone calls for me. Almost all stuff I do is on my computer

[cunning pendant]

Debloated windows what? You mean the ltsc version? That's the only debloated windows I know of

[strange elk]

Lmao

[supple pawn]

They're making one for the Asus Xbox handheld I understand?

[craggy rose]

you watched that louis rossman video

nice

[cunning pendant]

Only if they would make one for public use outside of handhelds

[strange elk]

I watch most of them

[supple pawn]

I watched a video once

[craggy rose]

definitely

[supple pawn]

They could make one for their phone is what I'm getting at

[strange elk]

Windows?

[supple pawn]

Yes. A Surface phone. Or the gaming variant the Xbox Mobile!

Then we could bend the knee to our corporate overlords at Microsoft!

[brazen carbon]

microsoft definitely made a phone for the sake of making a phone

[supple pawn]

They were too early with it tho

[brazen carbon]

if they tried, I'm sure it would have been a BIT more successful

but nah MS go back to computers 🙏

[strange elk]

On the other hand..

[craggy rose]

I think that making a handheld using just windows, oppose to the xbox OS, was the right decision by microsoft, I would still kill to have a dedicated xbox series s portable, but having a full fledged windows system is better

[brazen carbon]

oh probably in settings

[strange elk]

I wanted windows phone in middle school. I don't think I'd do that these days

[brazen carbon]

my message sent before the picture

[strange elk]

If mobile Linux gets to an android level of support which it probably never will, I'd use that

[cunning pendant]

Mobile linux? That's a thing?

[strange elk]

PostmarketOS

Ubuntu touch, Manjaro, KDE..

[supple pawn]

There's also a Ubuntu OS on mobile. Its not great from what I hear.

[strange elk]

Yea Manjaro is the better of the two in this instance

[craggy rose]

theoretically you could install any arm based linux on a phone

[harsh quartz]

A surface phone would honestly work better than a surface laptop. IMO the surface laptop was too underpowered and not general use enough for what a laptop should be, but a phone I think it could do much better as

[cunning pendant]

I wonder how would that even happen. Plugging in a usb?

[craggy rose]

I used the kali mobile in a motorola for some time

not primary phone

[craggy rose]

pretty much

[strange elk]

Check out the pinephone

[craggy rose]

you would have to unlock bootloader and do all the stuff on it to do it, but it's doable

god that sentence is so weird

[strange elk]

I mean.. Standard android ROM flash procedure there

[craggy rose]

yeah

[cunning pendant]

have to have to

[craggy rose]

😐

yeee

not native though so

sorry

[cunning pendant]

Not native too

[craggy rose]

[ruby nova]

Isn't Marvel Rivals a CPU-heavy game?

Because for whatever reason my 4C8T i3-13100 is always between 40-50% utilization and my GPU is pegged at 100%.

RX 7600, btw.

[iron summit]

pegged

[civic fox]

yea to some degree it is

[civic fox]

gpu being at 100 is a great thing too

[supple pawn]

What is pegging mean?

[heavy grotto]

What would be an easy way for a 15 year old boy that has built one gaming PC to get more experience with building computers?

And I don’t have that much money, less than $1,000 AUD

I definitely don’t want to take apart my new PC in case I damage it because it was very expensive for my first computer

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

[thin vigil]

Why do you want the experience?

[heavy grotto]

Also I won’t be on much longer to see any replies

[rain linden]

Also the « building experience » is pretty much shoving one thing into another

[heavy grotto]

So I would feel more confident and possibly for a job somewhere for work experience

[heavy grotto]

Is that.. a JOB APPLICATION?!!!?

[heavy grotto]

Yeah

[rain linden]

Right

So it doesn’t actually go any deeper

That’s it. Just shoving things and screwing them

[thin vigil]

Blag it and learn on the job. Building computers isn't a dark art and can be learned following a YouTube video.

[sharp notch]

Guys its probably cheaper to buy a new mobo, ram, and AM5 cpu than to buy a motherfucking 5800X3D right

[rain linden]

There’s also a different way with tech

You can get cheaper older tech and just play with software a bunch. A great skill

[heavy grotto]

Yeah I know but there is a place near me where someone my age works there and he said to get a job there I should just build a few more computers

[alpine gale]

Cheaper? Maybe not. But better price / performance than upgrading from what you have now? Absolutely.

[sharp notch]

is it not either heavily overpriced or extinct in ur country?

[heavy grotto]

Anyways I have to go now so see you later and thanks

[sharp notch]

@alpine gale anyways, AM5 will still get new chips for the next like 5-8 years right

like AMD would still make am6 but they wont abandon AM5 like that right

[alpine gale]

My crystal ball is broken, so I cannot say what will happen in the next 5-8 years, next month, next week, tomorrow, or even 5 minutes from now. However, generally speaking, AMD supports a given platform for 6-10 years... ish.

[thin vigil]

Do child labor laws not exist in your country?

[rain linden]

Tell your crystal ball it’s getting sent to one of those hydraulic press YouTubers

[rain linden]

15 is a respectable age to start doing some easier work

[ruby nova]

It basically means the utilization gets to 100% (or any % afaik) and stays there for 95-100% of the time.

This applies to CPU, GPU and RAM primarily.

Crystal balls are outdated tech, have to upgrade to tarot cards!

[supple pawn]

Lol this comes before nobody wanting to live in the area anymore and property values plummeting? Lmao

[sharp notch]

Should I spend $305 on a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, go for a new AM5 setup with a Ryzen 5 7500F for $335, or just buy a 1440p monitor instead, considering my Ryzen 5 5600 is bottlenecking my RTX 3080?

@kirashi.ca

[alpine gale]

I've already given my opinion on this 2x previously. Wait. For. AM5. Also, 1440p monitors are LOVELY for a mix of gaming + productivity. What make / model of monitor do you currently have?

[sharp notch]

MSI Mag241CR rn im on 1080p

[vapid smelt]

7500f

[sharp notch]

and a cheap monitor on the side

[civic fox]

ngl the 7500F is the better choice here.

get the computer ready, before you get a higher monitor. then you should be all good.

[sharp notch]

I had an excellent experience playing BF6 on ultra, but I noticed my GPU usage was only hitting 70% at most, averaging around 60%. If I upgrade to a higher resolution monitor, my GPU should be used more since the CPU bottleneck will be reduced. But my question is, will I still get the same FPS after the monitor upgrade?

[civic fox]

just a side note, my 3070 can handle 1440p just fine, so your 3080 can do the same.

[civic fox]

the game is very CPU bound due to Frostbite, which i believe is the AC they use. the higher res would make you use the gpu more, however if your still cpu bottlenecked, the fps will be lower regardless, because the cpu cant keep up.

[sharp notch]

Damn so the 7500F is the best path yea?

[civic fox]

in your situation yes it would be.

[sharp notch]

any better options than a 7500F

or is it best one thats not stupidly expensive

[vapid smelt]

9950x3d

[sharp notch]

[civic fox]

there are always "better" options, but if 335 is what your willing to spend, i believe that is a good cpu choice.

[sharp notch]

i mean like, is there a good option if i up my budget to perhaps 370? 400?

mobo and ram is roughly 200usd

[civic fox]

see if you up your budget you can get better cpus, whether you want to do that or not is up to you.

[sharp notch]

what are the options though

[civic fox]

well i believe you can possibly snag a 9800X3D (if you find a deal), you could get a 7800X3D, a 7700X. you could also get a 9600/9700X, maybe a 9900X.

you could do some hunting and tell us, what you find, and we can give our opinions as well.

[sharp notch]

a 7800X3D is under 200?

[civic fox]

i believe thats like 300 something

[sharp notch]

i mean my budget would be 370-400 with mobo n ram included for 200.
so cpu budget is like 130-200

[civic fox]

hmm let me keep looking then

yea ngl the 7500F is a really good CPU for that price range tbh

[vapid smelt]

are you in the us?

[sharp notch]

US prices and Indonesian prices are roughly the same for cpus. except 5800X3D and the god tier AM4 cpus are extinct here 🗿

[burnt solstice]

so like if im not buying a 5060 what should i get

[civic fox]

5070 probably, or a 9070xt etc

[burnt solstice]

way out of my budget

wb the 5060 ti 8gb

[vapid smelt]

dont a buy a 8gb card in a 2025

[oak pier]

12gb minimum

preferably 16

[burnt solstice]

b580 js sucks tho

[vapid smelt]

get a used 3080 for about the same price as a slower 5060

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BxRnTW/asrock-challenger-oc-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx9060xt-cl-16go or a new 9060xt 16gb

[vapid smelt]

[civic fox]

bro asked again

[burnt solstice]

i mean like no other cards to buy so

[civic fox]

trust me 8gb cards are not worth it. i have one, i got mine for cheap months ago so im fine with it, at bare minimum go for a 5060ti 16gb at least

[burnt solstice]

i dont got that moolah

[civic fox]

then save your money for a later date then.

[burnt solstice]

nah im getting a new pc

[civic fox]

well getting a 8gb card is surely gonna make you regret it .

8gb was out of the picture like a year or 2 ago.

[cedar thistle]

Good thing my laptop from a decade ago has 12...

[burnt solstice]

i swear theres no games where u need more than 8g

[civic fox]

plenty of em

i run into that issue frequently.

[burnt solstice]

like which

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx4En-2PzOU

[civic fox]

12 is the bare minimum i'd say.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh7kFgHe21k the 8gb 3070 similar to the 5060 8gb loads the textures in and out making them blurry and having the pop in and out

[civic fox]

yea i notice that often

[vapid wharf]

80GB

[cedar thistle]

NVDA?

[burnt solstice]

wht does this prove tho

both r 8gb and 3070 is way higher

[cedar thistle]

Not enough ram = not able to load as much by way of assets, if I understand correctly.

[kind vine]

that the 5060 is just a 3070 like 4.0 or smth

[burnt solstice]

soooo

[vapid smelt]

do you not see the unloaded blury photo on the left?.

[vapid wharf]

What

[burnt solstice]

the price diff is insane tho right?

[vapid smelt]

$350 for a used rtx 3080 or a new rx 9060xt 16gb

[civic fox]

RX 6800 is not 8gb its 16, the 3070 is 8

[tawny wharf]

Why is secure boot such a big deal for people that they dont want to enable it

[viscid elm]

Lazy/ cheats

[tawny wharf]

[echo sluice]

cant be bothered bro

[clear radish]

hi!

[tawny wharf]

I just think theres bigger things to worry about then secure boot

It's not that hard to enable and it makes your system slightly more secure

And your games with anticheat will work

🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah I totally get it if you are a linux user

but I just use windows

I rather not miss out on games

but Linux is great I've used it and was quite pleasant to use

[civic fox]

secure boot works on dual boots these days, i know plenty of people who do it.

[stark idol]

"if you want, i can give you" on every single response

[civic fox]

eh i did linux back and forth, i am the person in those servers, who goes back and forth between OSs every week lmao, i try not to do that much anymore at least rn, since i need a new laptop for linux to even work regardless

[glass zephyr]

Damn man i've issue with my shazam chrome extension on windows but no one is willing to even help me in tech chat's

😭

[tawny wharf]

It works fine if you have an AMD gpu

[civic fox]

works fine on nvidia as well

[stark idol]

try the dedicated tech support channel

[tawny wharf]

Last time I enabled secure boot on my pc when I installed fedora I had to figure out extra steps to get things to work

[civic fox]

usually need to do a setup type thing, but after that it usually works.

[glass zephyr]

just did!

thanks

[tawny wharf]

It wasnt hard to do tho

amd on linux does make the experience better

less buggy

true my games did gain more frames

wayland with nvidea can use more work tho

and the nvidea control panel on linux is ass

I do like gnome better

but theres no bad desktop enviroment on linux they are all pretty good

I can't wait for Cosmic

It does look great so far

[civic fox]

about 3 years later and dx12 still loses about 30% performance on linux with nvidia, i'll sit back and keep waiting.

[tawny wharf]

idk how vulkan is not on everything

[civic fox]

because its not always good.

[tawny wharf]

why

[civic fox]

some games just dont run good with it, others have conflicts, some are built in UE5 which are dx12 dependent usually.

[tawny wharf]

oh

makes sense I guess

[civic fox]

there are cases however, where dx11 or vulkan performs better, so it really does just depend on the game.

and you need to ask this here for what reason? go ask that in a non public server.

when done properly it seems great, but a lot of people don't do it properly, but its great to have something other than DirectX

[long falcon]

hi

i have a (possibly dumb) question

i found this old windows laptop and i was wondering if it would be possible to install windows 7 or 8 on a secondary partition

the laptop has a 10th gen intel processor and it's from 2020, would it be too new for windows 7?

[viscid elm]

why TF would you ever even consider the malware ridden windows 7 in the year 2025

[long falcon]

nostalgia idk
sorry idk much about pcs im a mac guy 😭

[civic fox]

windows 11 here we come.

[long falcon]

it's on windows 11 rn

[viscid elm]

i can tell

[viscid elm]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=windows+7+skin+for+windows+11

[civic fox]

well keep it there then.

[long falcon]

i want real windows 7 tho 💔

[long falcon]

why not install it on a secondary partition tho?

is windows 7 really that dangerous

[viscid elm]

if you just want malware just download this https://www.google.com/search?q=free+cheats+fortnite&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=e4e61ca27f8efc23&sxsrf=AE3TifO3g10ITmcn98RUjXmBLsinD19TBg%3A1754917349486&ei=5emZaNa1He2qwPAPw7LZ4AY&ved=0ahUKEwiWvOfJ6IKPAxVtFRAIHUNZFmwQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=free+cheats+fortnite

[civic fox]

put it in a VM

[viscid elm]

(THIS IS A JOKE)

[civic fox]

yea it kinda is

[long falcon]

😭 damn

[long falcon]

damn lol i had no idea

[viscid elm]

its quicker then windows 7

[long falcon]

what if i didnt download anything tho

[fossil frost]

Yes

[long falcon]

like what if i just installed it to play around with the old themes or something and deleted it right after

[civic fox]

i mean thats what usually happens when a OS is without security updates for what 10-15 years or so

[long falcon]

makes sense

[viscid elm]

the issue is having internet on it

[long falcon]

ohh

so i'll just not connect it to the internet then?

[viscid elm]

any internet at all is the issue

[viscid elm]

there aint a lot of stuff you can do with it then

[long falcon]

i mostly just wanted to play old games and look at the old ui ngl

[civic fox]

smack it in a VM if you really want to use it

[viscid elm]

last part you can already do

[viscid elm]

wait you can even play most windows 7 games on windows 11 xd

[fossil frost]

since 7 was discontinued and went out of support, there have been PLENTY of zero-click vulns discovered in various parts of windows, which are fixed in 8, 10 and 11. since 8 went out of support, same thing for that, but fixed in 10 and 11... and by zero click, i dont mean you have to download something, you simply need to have the OS installed, and connected to the internet... thats it... and the payloads that come with those exploits can be anything, including bootkits, which get into your UEFI.. so, is installing an operating system that hasnt had security updates in several years dangerous, yes... yes its very dangerous

[long falcon]

damn wtf

i had no idea windows was so dangerous

wait this isnt a thing on macs is it

[civic fox]

it can happen really anywhere tbh

[fossil frost]

yes, it is. just less prevelant, because macOS is less widely used

happens for linux based os's too

[long falcon]

damn

that's actually wild

[fossil frost]

guess where else it happens... quite a lot? iOS and android... NSO Group have an entire company based around those 2

[long falcon]

what's nso group?

[viscid elm]

o hey

[long falcon]

also uh.. i have an old iPhone 5s lying around that i use for taking "vintage" pictures and stuff. would that also be dangerous?

[fossil frost]

they make the pegasus "software suite" (malware suite designed for nation states to hack into mobile devices of their citizens/enemies/anyone they feel like)

[civic fox]

of all damn programs to mess with, they choose WINRAR?

[viscid elm]

wat

[long falcon]

insane

[civic fox]

it says winrar does it not? am i blind? lool

[long falcon]

it's signed into my iCloud and Google accounts

[viscid elm]

well yea but winrar is used a shit ton of people?

[fossil frost]

yeah, probably

[long falcon]

wow

[civic fox]

i always thought it was, i mean i use it. i know others who also do.

[long falcon]

i had no idea old software was so unsafe 😭

[viscid elm]

so like why not find vulnerabilities in it

[fossil frost]

NSO found a vulnrability where you could send a txt message to an iOS device with a url in it, and because of the way iOS tries to create a preview, it would cause a "jailbreak" and a payload download to run the real malware. which would then delete the oriignal txt message, and persist the malware on the mobile device. apple have since fixed PART of that

really? because its as popular now as it has ever been

[long falcon]

absolutely insane

[civic fox]

me? well its not like i really know how to do that. glad others seem to find it before i ever would.

[long falcon]

i do 🥀

[viscid elm]

festival best

about 1mil a day and peaks of up to 6mil

sooo yeeeaaa i would not say fortnite is unpopular

[fossil frost]

its gone up recently to averaging over 1.2m per day. new blitz gamemode has re-popularised it with people who are too stupid to pay attention for long enough for a 100 person battle

[viscid elm]

blitz is fun, i think i managed to win like 10 times in a row

[fossil frost]

its THE reason you are supposed to keep ALL your software up to date. and before anyone jumps in with "why would anyone go for me"... that would be because a criminal having access to a device is worth money, having access to a LOT of devices, is worth more money. they could also go through your devices in fractions of a second to find all your login details for any financial based stuff (ie. banks). or looking for SSNs for identity theft. or just using your device as part of a botnet

[fossil frost]

i play it with my kids. because my 8yo has absolutely no concept of tactics... which you need in 100, but less so in 32

[viscid elm]

im gonna be playing some fortnite today for some videos

[gentle slate]

Setting up SSH was one of the best decisions ive ever made.

Left me house, went somewhere else and I can still do what I need to do on the puter

[rose comet]

heh take a look at the ssh log now and then. you can see all of the people attempting to connect with default usernames and passwords

[pallid falcon]

[full fossil]

scrapyard wars with virtual machines is a cop out

[gentle slate]

I dont allow keyless auths

at least I think I dont? I havent had a single connection attempt according to journald

and its been up for like 1 week now.

[rose comet]

interesting! Usually by the time I had mine up for a few hours I was getting a streaaaaam of incoming attempts, even on non-standard port numbers

[gentle slate]

I went for a pretty high port number

[rose comet]

maybe out of the normal scanner range then 🙂 smart!

[gentle slate]

i gotta setup fail2ban eventualyl

[rose comet]

like scanning all 65k possible or whatever it is would take forever, so they just go for the greatest hits or something

[gentle slate]

yeah they go for those lower ports. 22, 2222, etc

[rose comet]

does that do port knocking?

[rose comet]

I was using something in the high thousands for a while, mostly because I needed to be able to remember it

[gentle slate]

you might be able to set it up for that? afak it just scans for failed auth attempts and blocks IPs

[pallid falcon]

[noble ferry]

#overclocking

[iron lintel]

so
I just finished my first day of high school
and uhm

for my CompTech class
instead of cheap dingy pcs
instead of standard office computers

nah
we got full fledged $1500 gaming pcs
like
with an rtx 20 series gpu (forgot which)
like
the whole fucking setup
expensive monitors, expensive keyboards and mice
and theres like 25-30 setups

damnn
the CompTech teacher is thinking of setting up an eSports team for the school 😭

[viscid elm]

Even a 2080 ti pc ain't close to 1500 or at least should not be

Maybe Aud or cad is fair but USD hell no

[hybrid echo]

250 max for the gpu

[split swift]

Doodoo ass price for those computers

[full crest]

Being somebody from europe, what would people suggest is the average gaming pc cost in america?

[iron lintel]

prebuilts, for one

and also there was cosmetic shit to it
and also the school (who actually bought them) doesnt know shit about pcs. the CompTech teacher does ofc but I dont think the school would've really listened all that much

also I might be wrong about the gpu, I have a shit memory

[split swift]

1.5k is a bad price

Even if its 2080ti

[iron lintel]

also
it has one stick of ram
(atleast the 1 i looked at. idk if something happened to it or what)

[split swift]

Even worse lmao

[thin fjord]

[pallid rose]

what chrome adblock are we using?

i had one on my old pc through edge and it worked fine. i have abp on chrome and i dont think its working honestly

ublock orgin isnt available on chrome anymore sadly

[split swift]

Use brave

Built in one

[pallid rose]

tried it and hated it

[split swift]

How? Its literally crome

But with ad block built in

[thin fjord]

Ublock lite works for most things but I don’t think it works with scripts so you can’t block ads on sites like twitch with it

[pallid rose]

is it like the reg ublock though? i pay for subs on twitch so ads arent a problem on there. its more for browsing reddit/youtube/webpages that im wanting to block

ublock on my old pc blocked everything

had like 2m blocks

i never used scripts or anything anyways just always left it on

[thin fjord]

I haven’t had any issues with any site other than google owned ones like YouTube

For a little while I would still get ads but I haven’t seen any in awhile

[pallid rose]

youtube is hit or miss for me depending on what account im on my main it blocked every ad my 2nd or 3rd it would let some by but not many maybe like 1 a month

[thin fjord]

Same here it’s weird

I use a Firefox based browser with ublock origin as a backup

[pallid rose]

what filter mode do i keep ubo lite on?

complete or optimal?

[silver sun]

[fresh sorrel]

Random question I just need a common answer for
traditionally yk how people go out for like a gathering after someone passes, is that usually at the wake or funeral?

Google is just like “people go out at wakes or funerals” like that’s not what I’m asking just like standard which do people do lol

[unreal dagger]

How are you all doing

[dreamy igloo]

Wake is the gathering, funeral is when you actually bury the body.

[fresh sorrel]

I know there’s sometimes like a gathering after one, which one usually is it?

Like going to a restaurant or a hall

[dreamy igloo]

A gathering afterwards is usually a celebration of life.

unless you're jewish, then it could be sitting shiva.

follow up from last night, these settings seem to be stable in a steel nomad stress test and a full game of warzone. I know i didn't win the silicon lottery but how did i do?

[analog cypress]

yo guys so I’m moving to Asia from us for college is it safe to put a pc in a checked luggage

[fossil frost]

ha.. no

remove your GPU, and remove your CPU cooler, pack them separately. because all it would take is a bad jolt from the wrong angle, and one of those is ripping right off the motherboard and destroying both

[stable jolt]

[woeful pagoda]

Heyo

[ocean mural]

That reasoning is just pure stupidity

[fossil frost]

its not reasoning, its using literally any words they could find that would avoid backing down and avoid admitting the whole wording of the entire law, and the law its self, was a huge mistake

[ocean mural]

I was expecting there to be some logic behind the decision, like that the rules were clear and the High Court would just need to say thats it

But saying "you may be able to work around it" without there actually being any research into it??

[fossil frost]

it was a long and expensive "no"

[ocean mural]

"Not my problem"

The internet is for sure going to shit, because this is happening all over the world right now.

[fossil frost]

it also shows that writing to your government, no matter how much you do it, no matter what you say, no matter how valid your argument... makes no difference...

especially because this was never about "the kids", and is entirely about surveillance

its backfired dramatically too.. VPN usage in the UK is up.. a LOT

[muted relic]

THe second anyone ever askes for a pre-payment on an online purchase on any marketboard, even if it's only a small portion of the total price

That's the biggest red flag. You do not send a single red cent until you see the item.

And that's before the seller was acting like the biggest dumbass and couldn't get the security question

[pallid falcon]

Wonder how much the "being scammed is better content" and "its works money not my own" mindset influenced his decision

[sterile sundial]

I have a question guys

How do u update your cmos battery drivers?

[muted relic]

The cmos battery doesn't have a driver

The cmos retains the your settings in your motherboard's BIOs when the comptuer is turned off/unplugged

When you short the cmos pins or remove that battery, your BIOs gets reset to factory default settings

[sterile sundial]

Idk why, I thought I woulda gotten a funny response, this is actually wholesome. I know this info, but geez, thanks for being a chill guy man

Just pulled into my campsite

It’s borel class 1 so there’s practically no light pollution

I should hopefully have the best chance at seeing the meteor shower on the 12th

And hopefully the aurora tonight

BUT normally I’d have to be super strict with the light rules but there’s nobody else here lol

I’m the only person on the entire campsite

So I guess I’ll probably have a campfire tonight

[bright lynx]

Where's the aura visible these days?

Probably too much light pollution where I'm at. Best view I had in a while was from the top of a sand dune overlooking lake Michigan.

Hey guys I have a question

So when I launch fortnite, and try to play, there is tremendous stutters

I can play offline games just fine, this is the first time Im trying an online game on my pc

When I play it shows the wifi is having problems

However, my whole computer experiences the lag, not just fortnite

So Im wondering what specifically is the issue - wifi or entire computer

I have ran more demanding games before so It is confusing me

[iron summit]

what do you mean whole computer experiences the lag

[tacit falcon]

Random q, going camping in the scottish Highlands (Isle of Skye) looking for a cheap n cheerful but quality power bank.....I've obviously heard of Duracell, Belkin but are they good for power banks???

[iron summit]

i think powerbanks have a pretty low bar so long as you dont get explode brand explosion power bank

[tacit falcon]

So any by a actual reputable brand name is good?

[iron summit]

i would get a bigger power bank personally but that depends on how long your battery lasts and how often you use your device

[mystic tundra]

no

even reputable companies have terrible models

[mystic tundra]

i would avoid these three

unless you can’t do more research

[tacit falcon]

I'll only be using my phone for limited time so the power bank will be for emergency use if my torches go etc (olight)

[mystic tundra]

anker is overpriced

[winged spire]

That entirely depends lol

Anker cables start at like 12$

[tacit falcon]

Ok any reason to avoid those 3?

[winged spire]

For 13$ get em

That’s a good deal

[mystic tundra]

real 10000mah aren’t that hard to get at $12, so i wouldn’t say good but not horrible

[winged spire]

Bro 💀

[mystic tundra]

?

xiaomi for example has 10000mah 22w power banks, they go in sale for $10, usually are $12-13

i’m just saying that anker… sponsors a lot of youtube videos / has a lot of site ads too so it’s less likely they offrer a good product at a certain price

£14 for a 10000mah 30w power bank isn’t a miracle

[tacit falcon]

Ah I see, is ugreen, baseus better then???

[mystic tundra]

ugreen has some good stuff

[tacit falcon]

I'm not after miracles, just something that I can have as an emergency charger, but isn't going to blow up, or be cheaply made 😂

[strange elk]

me when I

Anti-anticheat

[mystic tundra]

if you have a bit of time look for reviews for your specific model that you’re looking at

so, if the power bank actually has 10000mah +-, can charge at it’s rated spec, doesn’t have known issues (you can find this in forums or other discord servers)

,etc…

[mystic tundra]

ugreen power banks looks to be not worth it if you’re looking at under 20000mah capacity

[pallid falcon]

I mean, its solid advice anyways

[mystic tundra]

they don’t have power banks currently reasonably prices at 10000mah, atleast what i ca n find

[strange elk]

Anticheat is basically RGB software now

Just more useless

[mystic tundra]

@tacit falcon the anker one isn’t halfway bad, if you don’t bother doing more research because i don’t the it’s ok ig, check xiaomi power banks tho

idk about the belkin

and the duracell meh, way too pricey, almost reaching 20000mah pricing

[strange elk]

oh well. Heroic wasnt showing Epic games for some reason

They'll just break your graphic drivers every update

?

[pallid falcon]

The penguin

[strange elk]

Yeah they do that on windows too, that's definitely not linux exclusive lol

Least you don't gotta search for it and it updates with the system

[pallid falcon]

Yeah windows decides when its update time and it asks when you wanna then ignores you and reboots anyways

[strange elk]

and still the GPU driver is from 2016

Like its 2025, you'd think there would be good automatic detection and deployment of up to date drivers baked in

Instead let's record your every move and put AI in and force this specific browser on you

what would some decent options be for a 5G enabled laptop? i just compared the thinkpad X1 nano, HP elite dragonfly G3, latitude 9430, galaxy book pro 360, and the thinkpad x13s. all of them have soldered ram, most with 32GB max. i would at least like to be able to move up to 64 if not have it come that way...

You need to update your fan motor drivers first since it relates

Like if you update the CMOS, it would cause increased voltage which may affect your fan if its not updated.

Ohh uhhh

[pallid falcon]

So your a cashier putting your points number on customers orders?

[neat gull]

Yep. They don’t have an account and don’t want to sign up when I ask them so all the points would be going down a black hole.

They can’t get those back after they purchase their items so uhh

why not just slide my number in there

HOWEVERRRRR

I do put peoples numbers in for their rewards accounts

the account simply does not exist while purchasing items. They don’t care to download the app for points when told about it either.

Hello

[full fossil]

Not trolling but can someone genuinely tell me what the benefit of Proton is over Google

Keep in mind Gmail is rolling out E2EE

From Gemini

Yes, Gmail has added end-to-end encryption (E2EE) as a new feature. However, it's important to understand the specifics of its implementation:

Availability: E2EE is primarily available for enterprise users with a Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, Education Standard, or Education Plus subscription. It is not currently available for personal Gmail accounts.

How it works: This feature, known as "client-side encryption" (CSE), encrypts the content of an email before it is sent or stored on Google's servers. This means that only the sender and the recipient can read the message, as the encryption keys are controlled by the user's organization, not by Google.

[summer folio]

I prefere Mullvad VPN over Proton

[full fossil]

Google and Proton will soon have the same privacy standards

[full fossil]

Deadass bro. Proton blocks your account if they receive a DMCA strike.

[full fossil]

NordVPN is $35 on Amazon bro

#off-topic message

How?

Have you ever paid for Gemini Pro

It can solve insane math problems

[mystic tundra]

yeah… proton has started making their services less attractive

more attractive for potential investors

[full fossil]

Hold up

Yes, Proton can disable accounts for copyright infringement, which falls under the category of violating their terms of service. While they prioritize user privacy and a no-logs policy, they are legally required to cooperate with authorities and respond to valid legal requests, including DMCA takedown notices.

Wanna pay $100 for a VPN. Sure as heck hope you're not poor.

Also

Don't buy used devices for Discord

[mystic tundra]

they over the years made the free plan less appealing, like by reducing usable server count for a lot of regions

[full fossil]

Discord has introduced bans on unique identifiers

So if you buy a device that was GUID banned you're kinda cooked

[full fossil]

They operate in Russia and provide information to the Russian government

[mystic tundra]

banned from discord right not servers

[full fossil]

Yes

[mystic tundra]

yay

@full fossil what do you think about tor

[full fossil]

It's always recommended to buy a new device

Any bans that occur on that device

Transfer to you in some cases

In extreme cases Apple and Google do device level bans

Meaning if your friend sells drugs on Discord

You picked up their ban

[mystic tundra]

idk how you even manage to do that 💀

[full fossil]

If you buy a refurbished device it usually comes w/ fresh identifiers

[full fossil]

Just saying it's a bad idea to associate w/ sketchy people

Then buy their device

[mystic tundra]

it’s unlikely tho the used decice you bought was hard banned from services

[full fossil]

Also there is a chance providers like ecoATM clear device level bans

However buying a device on Craigslist is bad

[mystic tundra]

i think this is obvious enough

[full fossil]

I've seen a lot of people innocently banned on /r/bannedondiscord and have determined Discord does device level bans based on research

[full fossil]

True

There are a lot of people like "my account was banned and I have one account" and some stories seem genuine

Any app whether it be PayPal, Venmo, etc

Can do device bans if warranted

It's uncommon but if needed it's done

[mystic tundra]

paypal has set off some flags when i purchased something and they immediately sent me the money back as a refund

[full fossil]

The fact that people buy devices from Facebook and such when there could be tons of bans on it worries me

[full fossil]

PayPal is shit

[full fossil]

If you have the PayPal debit card and buy alcohol regardless of age they can ban

That or Venmo

[mystic tundra]

they let me use account without verified id to send money

and receive

only asked me after more than a year

[full fossil]

You're not allowed to buy anything "controversial" including tobacco and alcohol

Adults aren't

[mystic tundra]

they should be asking for id so you don’t do money laundering

[full fossil]

The reason you can't buy alcohol with a PayPal debit card is found in PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy, which is a part of the overall User Agreement.

Specifically, the policy lists certain "prohibited activities" for which you may not use the PayPal service. Among these prohibited activities is selling alcoholic beverages.

While the policy is primarily aimed at sellers and merchants, the restriction on the "selling" of alcohol effectively means that transactions related to the purchase of alcohol are also not supported by PayPal's services. This applies to all of their services, including the PayPal debit card. The policy is designed to ensure that PayPal is not used for transactions that are illegal, regulated, or high-risk, and alcohol sales fall into a heavily regulated category due to age restrictions and local laws.

[mystic tundra]

you think?

[full fossil]

You're providing criminals w/ too much IQ bro

[mystic tundra]

who’s gonna check that someone that sent you $2k wasn’t stolen money

[full fossil]

Criminals use Discord to do terrible things

A public platform w/ a legal department

Criminals aren't that smart

[mystic tundra]

yes criminals be stopid

use paypal to launder money, and sure it works sometimes, until they come knocking at your door

[full fossil]

PayPal is nice till you turn 21 and can consume weed, alcohol, tobacco, etc and they ban

Just use Cash App

[mystic tundra]

they can only track it down once a request is made, and if they don’t have your id it’s going to be harder for them to take legal action agaisnt you

[pallid falcon]

Whos buying any of that with PayPal

[full fossil]

PayPal seems nice till they become that strict teacher you went to private school with

[full fossil]

They have a debit card

[pallid falcon]

Ik?

[full fossil]

People who use them as their main bank account would?

I’m 21+ and sometimes I drink

Right?

[pallid falcon]

Oh you meant legally

[full fossil]

Yes

[full fossil]

Even if you buy legally it violates TOS

[full fossil]

@pallid falcon

As I said they seem nice and convenient till they become that strict authoritarian government

[pallid falcon]

Eh at that point id just transfer money to my bank and buy with that

Or atm

[full fossil]

Cash App allows most things

Not shit talking PayPal but if you’re legal age who cares

[mystic tundra]

for example, scamtrader123 sends you $2k in stolen money, you send the $2k of stolen money to someone else to purchase something that’s worth $2k, you then sell that item for $1.8k, you gibe the scamtrader123 back $1.3k, you get $500, yes i know this may be not prob the most efficient money laundering (i shouldn’t be talking in more detail anyways)

and if you make a listing on some local website to sell those items bought for stolen money on your alt email address that does not hold any sort of your info, there is basicly no way they’ll track you down if it has been created on a new device

this is how paypal allows easy money laundering @full fossil

[pallid falcon]

Weeds not legal here.. yet.. so doesnt matter for me

[full fossil]

Tons of scammers on PayPal

[full fossil]

It’s not legal here too

[full fossil]

Do me a favor and search banned on PayPal on YouTube

[mystic tundra]

even if they do, there is still a flaw… you can always just refund the buyer or sender the money unless they entirely disabled your account

[pallid falcon]

Paypal is useful when it comes to foreign purchases

[mystic tundra]

you can’t send to receive money

but you can refund them back

[full fossil]

So is Cash App?

[pallid falcon]

Like floatplane or lttstore

[full fossil]

My state is practically Canadian. I could even get a .ca domain.

[mystic tundra]

and no the algorithm isn’t perfect, it won’t pick you up reliably

[full fossil]

I bought Discord Nitro $60

For the year

[pallid falcon]

Keel

I bought mine free

[mystic tundra]

@sage sun they let me use paypal when i was underaged for more than a year because they didn’t ask me for an id, so their algorithm has clearly failed
(please don’t do this i’m just giving an example)

[pallid falcon]

Mine made me give id as part of registration?

[full fossil]

NGL Current is awesome

They're a fee free bank

[mystic tundra]

[pallid falcon]

This bank isn't

Also current provides you up to $750 of your next paycheck if you have a good history w/ them

[pallid falcon]

A 8$ taco bell order gets blocked so I have to approve it on my phone and retry
