Bought a new battery for my BMW 540 from 1994 & I didn't even need to upgrade the suspension

Maybe BMW is just different

[near nymph]

Naw... It's a EV...

[winged spire]

EV

Bro 💀

I was under the impression that my car already had a LFP battery but I guess I’m mistaken

This is my 2nd battery change too, last one didn’t give me this option

I guess they forced my hand

I don’t really have a choice do I lmao

30+ day delay if I choose not to?

Free wheel alignment I guess 😛

range boost in exchange for 0.5 second slower 0-60

[near nymph]

LFP is like a inferior chemistry?

Range wise?

And also wear and tear on your tires

[pallid falcon]

Truly a reason to ping mods

[near nymph]

I would ask Tesla to throw in a set of tires if they are switching to a heavier chemistry

[winged spire]

?

[near nymph]

Plus I think those are Chinese cells

[winged spire]

No

It’s just slightly heavier

It degrades less and you can charge it to 100% without it being damaged

Normally you wanna keep it around %80 with lion

[idle nymph]

tbh something being chinese made doesnt even mean shit nowadays

[winged spire]

Tesla’s American LFP plant isn’t finished yet

[idle nymph]

also aint the chinese wayyy in front of us EV's wise lol ?

[near nymph]

Yeah/No

[winged spire]

In terms of cost yeah

But basically all Chinese EVs are just stolen western tech

[near nymph]

Cost wise? Yeah. Other parts? Fuck no.

[winged spire]

BYD pack design is just a complete Tesla clone

[near nymph]

Eh?

[winged spire]

Cost of doing business in China

[near nymph]

The blade battery?

[winged spire]

There are no secrets

[idle nymph]

yeah they love stealing shit ngl

[idle nymph]

and i mean fair game i cant even blame them

why work hard and spend a lot when you can just yoink shit and make it yours

[winged spire]

Giga Shanghai existing automatically means that all of Tesla’s IP is well “studied” by the CCP

The factory is too important to risk by telling China off

America’s first LFP plant (Tesla’s) will be coming online soon which is sick

Locally made batteries

[idle nymph]

insanely rare america W

[winged spire]

It’s massive

Not as big as the battery cities in China though

You seen that? Imagine living your entire life on the site of a battery factory

[idle nymph]

man seeing this really make me wish elon musk wasnt such a piece of shit

[winged spire]

He’s recovering Ever since he started dating his AI

No more Twitter rants bro found an AI girlfriend

When they released the girl avatar he literally tweeted about her like 50 times a day for a week

[idle nymph]

hes still a POS

[winged spire]

Well yeah he’s a billionaire

That’s true by default

The cutoff is somewhere around a billion dollars

Like Linus is technically worth at least 100 million so it’s gotta be higher than that

[idle nymph]

and he also disowned his trans daughter, pushed cuts for medicaid, create the stupid shit that is DOGE

like im actually amazed at how much billionaires manage to be comically evil

[winged spire]

All of them

[idle nymph]

yeah legit

[idle nymph]

also JK rowling is lower than a billion no ?

[winged spire]

She’s got so much money

No idea

[idle nymph]

almost a billion

she's this rich yet she decided to hate trans people

atp theyre just being evil for sport

[winged spire]

She’s easily one of the worst people ever

Horrible rotten bitch

[idle nymph]

bottom 10 writer oat

[winged spire]

Have you seen the mold in her apartment

[idle nymph]

making a fund to pay for anti trans action is such a crazy level of comically evil

[winged spire]

She’s literally got black mold growing up her walls

Maybe she’s just gone insane from the mold

[idle nymph]

legit paying to make a group that's less than 1% of the population suffer more

[idle nymph]

the mold is controlling her like ratatouille

[polar fern]

It’s not evil. Evil is a cop out. These people are broken and sad and the only way that they know how to work is to make people around them also broken and sad. It’s like a machine with a broken part. It doesn’t just make itself not work. It tries to make the entire thing stop functioning.

[idle nymph]

no i think she's just fucking evil

shes also the equivalent of lebron james in litterary racism

[polar fern]

evil as a religious concept and a cop-out people are more complex than that

[idle nymph]

JK rowling resisting the urges to name the irish character "potato carbomb"

[polar fern]

I am well aware of all of the nonsense people are shoveling these days. It’s the same old story. Find the vulnerable population and point all the fingers at them

[idle nymph]

prolly got it in her lungs too

her whole body is actually mold

[winged spire]

I’m so confused dude

I really did think my car had LFP from the factory

It’s a North American 2021 model 3 SR+

Google keeps telling me that’s the year they started using LFP

I just asked the service center

[winged spire]

I hope they realize this is just me being autistic about EVs and not me arguing with them about what battery it is lol

You can see exactly when my battery failed

Sunk like a rock

[idle nymph]

tbh she made him be obsessed with turning water into booze and he keeps blowing stuff up soooo

[winged spire]

I got like 75 miles of max range but it doesn’t even let me charge regardless lol

[idle nymph]

oh damn

[winged spire]

Yeah it’s cooked

I would have been fucked because I was dead center in the Canadian Rockies when it gave me that error

[idle nymph]

thank god you werent lol

[winged spire]

There’s a plug you can undo and plug back in that lets you charge it up so that’s how I managed to get home lmao

They mentioned chromebook plus. But they don't mention how some tasks require plus . Including some educational testing platform.
And no mention of warranties, and or if they cover accidental damage.

[static perch]

nah that would be bad my GPU will last 10+ years just fine

[knotty crown]

why is techlinked still not happening?

not sure what time it is in the US but I think it isn't monday anymore

[static perch]

certainly tuesday there now

[elfin jetty]

Yup, sounds right for a tesler

[zealous grail]

Is ur battery old and needs a replacement or is it broke or it just Outta battery

[median apex]

Is Linus here? I need some help on what kind of paint I can use on cement board in my bathroom that'll stand up to the humidity

[winged spire]

Statistically the most reliable batteries in any EV ever but sure

[winged spire]

Defective

[zealous grail]

Yay! Free replacement

[winged spire]

Yep

[zealous grail]

I hope idk the policy

[winged spire]

The battery/driveteain warranty covers anything wrong basically no questions asked

[zealous grail]

Also I don't know how it's our fault if the rock flies from the road and hits out windshield and chips it. Isn't it the goverment fault for poor road maintenance

[zealous grail]

Lol

[winged spire]

I had a previous replacement but i definitely clocked the fuck out of a giant armadillo the night before and heard it scrape up the bottom of my car

[zealous grail]

So ur telling me they don't care if u do fraudulent stuff

[winged spire]

Well I mean like if you hit something

[zealous grail]

Where do you live

[winged spire]

That was in southern Texas

[zealous grail]

I don't think a armadillo will do anything cuz there's a plastic cover and then the battery is metal

[winged spire]

One of the more common things that happens is you can snap off the water cooling fittings

If you hit something under the car

I don’t thjnk that’s what happened last time but I have seen it before

[zealous grail]

I have seen it happen in a. Youtube restoration video

It flows even if the car is off

Unless you pull the main battery

The safety switch under the2nd row seats

[elfin jetty]

Statistics by whom, Tesla? Also they have the worst reliability ratings amongst almost any modern car

[winged spire]

All of them

All of the statistics

[zealous grail]

And they have less approval rating cuz everyone hates them idk why

Cuz of that high insurance

Espicaly for teenagers

[elfin jetty]

[oak patrol]

Hi

[elfin jetty]

It couldnt because because the CEO is a complete garbage pile

[zealous grail]

Also I think tesla will be terrible in india cuz it identifies a rickshaw as two bikes so I can say they did zero modifications for the Indian terrain and climate so soon I will be seeing stuff on youtube

[elfin jetty]

@winged spire https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/j-d-power-vehicle-dependability-slumps-overall-tesla-stays-4th-from-last.341217/

[winged spire]

Show me literally any statistic that shows Tesla batteries aren’t reliable

[elfin jetty]

The whole vehicle is unreliable

[zealous grail]

💀

[winged spire]

Ok

[zealous grail]

Steer by wire, more like steer by high ping

If it's a wire why so much lag

[elfin jetty]

More like try to steer but the computer says "sorry, I can't let you do that dave"

[winged spire]

according to consumer reports rivian has the lowest reliability rating by far which is pretty wild considering the cheapest rivian is 69,000$

and its an EV

[elfin jetty]

At the very least we can all agree the cybercuck is probably the worse vehicle to exist in modern day

[winged spire]

idk how you make an unreliable EV theres literally 13 moving parts

[elfin jetty]

Aren't they also pretty damn new to the game compared to Tesla? I mean youd think Tesla would have a bigger lead than that after many more years of r&d

[winged spire]

batteries are batteries motors are motors

[elfin jetty]

Yea but you cant praise Tesla if you diss Vivian for the same shit

[winged spire]

what

tesla has over double the score of rivian

[elfin jetty]

Tesla has had way more time to get their shit together and havent

Rivian seems to be improving at a steady rate

[winged spire]

Rivians are 3x the price

[elfin jetty]

Bullshit, look at the cybertruck

[winged spire]

What

[elfin jetty]

100k

For the worst vehicle ever made

[winged spire]

that is some really bad logic'

"rivians arent more expensive look at (the most expensive car tesla sells)"

[elfin jetty]

Rivian makes ev trucks for the most part

We are comparing trucks

[winged spire]

the cheapest rivian is roughly 3x the price of the cheapest tesla

[winged spire]

no lmao

we are not comparing trucks

holy strawman

[elfin jetty]

OK then look at the average cost of a car vs the average cost of a truck

[winged spire]

the cheapest rivian is 20,000$ more than the average spent on a new vehicle in america

[elfin jetty]

Rivian doesnt make sedans

[winged spire]

correct

[elfin jetty]

Tesla does.

[winged spire]

correct again

[elfin jetty]

You cant even compare the 2

Price wise

They are entirely different catagories

[winged spire]

if you think an R1T is magically 3x the cost to manufacture as a model 3 I dont know what to tell you

[elfin jetty]

They're far more reliable from what I'm seeing

[winged spire]

they are not.

[elfin jetty]

Id still take one over a tesler

[winged spire]

yeah... theyre 40,000$ more expenive then my car was

a car 40,000$ more expensive then the car you have is generally going to be a better car

[elfin jetty]

Well when your battery goes kaput or you hit something and it incinerate you, dont say I didnt warn ya

[winged spire]

delusional statement

[elfin jetty]

Really? I don't think so.

[winged spire]

car crashes????? no way

[winged spire]

did yall know that cars can crash

we are just now finding out about this

[elfin jetty]

Imagine getting trapped inside cause your door handles dont work since the electric is cut

[winged spire]

cars once sold can then go on to crash into ANOTHER!! car

[winged spire]

you simply pull the door handle then?

youve obviously never even interacted with a tesla lmao

[elfin jetty]

Nope, not on tesla

[winged spire]

yes, yes on tesla

you dont know what youre talking about

[echo sluice]

what about a jammed door

[elfin jetty]

Unless they changed it, door handles are electric

[winged spire]

its both buddy

has been for atleast 7 years

[echo sluice]

In the unlikely event that Cybertruck has no low voltage power, you will be unable to open the doors with the interior door open button

[winged spire]

yes.. so you pull the handle

[echo sluice]

To open a front door manually, pull up the manual door release located in front of the window switches and push the door open.

yes

https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/cybertruck/en_us/GUID-903C82F8-8F52-450C-82A8-B9B4B34CD54E.html

[winged spire]

the handle on my doors are so normally placed most people use them instead of the button and I have to tell them to stop

[winged spire]

its really annoying actually

since theyre frameless windows not using the button can hurt the trim

[elfin jetty]

The I was thinking of the cybertruck. Damn.

[winged spire]

they all have physical latches just like every other car

[elfin jetty]

That one you have to remove panels for to access a pull cord

[winged spire]

only in the back seats

[elfin jetty]

Still thats shit design

[elfin jetty]

Mostly kids are gonna be in back seats

[winged spire]

so the doors are gonna have child lock on anyway

so they would not be able to open the doors regardless

so its literally the same exact issue

[elfin jetty]

Its far easier to access that than to tell them to pull up a panel in the bottom of the door and locate an emergency tab

[winged spire]

do you have ANY case where that was an actual factor for safety?

[elfin jetty]

In a fire or any other sort of crash seconds can matter

Yes, if you look up news on tesla crashes where people get trapped inside, it is unsettling as hell how many there are

[winged spire]

all 5 star crash ratings

[winged spire]

find me one

even the cybertruck got 5 stars lol

[elfin jetty]

https://www.jalopnik.com/fiery-tesla-crash-traps-and-kills-four-after-electric-d-1851697336/

[winged spire]

didnt even realize NHTSA released their ratings for it

[elfin jetty]

They have an entire lawsuit over their doors

[winged spire]

and what was the result of the suit?

[elfin jetty]

Still ongoing

[winged spire]

having a lawsuit means literally nothing

[elfin jetty]

I love how you're calling me crazy when I sent evidence of this shit happening

[winged spire]

what

bro how old are you like actually

[elfin jetty]

Old enough to not be delusional.

[winged spire]

cute

are we also going to pretend that tesla is the only car manufactuerr with electric doors?

[elfin jetty]

No? But we are talking about tesla

[dusky jacinth]

Well that's the same as pretty much any EV anyway.

[elfin jetty]

Electric doors just shouldnt be a thing

[winged spire]

I also dont see literally anyhting in this article other then the title that puts blame on the doors

[elfin jetty]

True, im not saying that isnt a problem with all EVs

[winged spire]

obviously if that was a major factor the people in the front would have been able to get out

[elfin jetty]

Wellllll they didnt

[winged spire]

the handles on the front seats are as accessable as literally every other car ive ever been in

[winged spire]

yeah.. so it seems like its literally not a factor in the case

[elfin jetty]

Maybe the mechanical latches failed too, that wouldnt surprise me from a tesla

[winged spire]

you just posted an article using 4 people's deaths as clickbiat

as your evidence

[elfin jetty]

Did you even read the article

[winged spire]

all 2 paragraphs yes

took me a long while, got some big words in there

[elfin jetty]

https://philkoopman.substack.com/p/people-are-still-being-burned-alive

[dusky jacinth]

And unironically, Tesla is not the only one who does this either and had life-taking incidents because of it. Chevy actually had one that I recall, one of which is relevant for all these heatwaves in mind, with one guy and his dog dying inside his corvette because the electrical system failed and he either wasn't aware of or remembered the emergency latch for the doors.

[winged spire]

ford literally did the cost analasys to see if having their cars blow up was cheaper then fixing them

[elfin jetty]

These are all shitty things companies do yes

[winged spire]

Gas cars also catch on fire way, way more often then EVs regardless

[elfin jetty]

But that doesnt make any of them acceptable even if you like the brand

[winged spire]

so I think im fine

electric doors are fine 🤷

[elfin jetty]

That is really tragic...

[elfin jetty]

Mmmmm no. Gonna go with no. If it isnt mechanical I dont want it.

[winged spire]

ok, simply buy a car without it

[dusky jacinth]

I want it to be a hybrid of both, honestly.

[winged spire]

its literally that simple for you

[elfin jetty]

I did, I love it

[winged spire]

cool, ill continue to buy the cars I want

[dusky jacinth]

Even when the risk is low, it gets annoying with electric doors sometimes.

Especially with electric lift gates.

[winged spire]

https://www.hansshow.com/products/model-3-y-auto-present-door-handle-4-doors

I thimk im gonna do this mod

the handles poke out and auto present when unlocked

[elfin jetty]

Electric lift gates annoy the hell out of me sometimes

[winged spire]

they also come in RGB because obviously

[winged spire]

oh I love mine

I plan on modding my frunk to be powered too

https://www.hansshow.com/products/model-3-power-trunk-and-frunk?_pos=3&_psq=frunk&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[zealous grail]

You can do that?

[elfin jetty]

frunk

[winged spire]

teslas are shockingly moddable

TONS of 3rd party stuff you can add

[elfin jetty]

If only elon wasnt such a horrendous POS

I used to want a tesla

[winged spire]

I dont buy my cars based off the CEO

thats kinda strange

[dusky jacinth]

Really it's just ONLY when the software is dumb or the sensing setup is weird.

And really, in my case, it's... Mostly just issues with Nissan's stuff.

Which are a mega L in terms of electronic features.

[winged spire]

bruh

[elfin jetty]

When the ceo actively dismantled parts of our government, yea, I can and will buy based off of what he has done

[echo sluice]

censorwarship'd

[winged spire]

thats great for you

[echo sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-dancing-cat-cat-low-quality-cat-meme-gif-1560392174193942318

[elfin jetty]

Elon doing his funny little salutes solidified my position on that

[winged spire]

im sure you also researched every other CEO from every other comapny you interact with

[elfin jetty]

No other CEO makes it that unignorably obvious XD

Seriously, he's an attentionwhore

[winged spire]

so youre saying its just low hanging fruit

you only care about the easy shots?

[elfin jetty]

What im saying is if someone is blatantly a 1940s right wing Germany sympathizer, I refuse to give them money

Its as simple as that

[winged spire]

sure

[winged spire]

[vast crow]

Hi quick question, can i cool a 7800x3d with a stock cooler temporarly

[winged spire]

I aint bothered enought to retype that whole message

I do wish warship would send the message as part of its warning DM so I can just edit what was wrong

[elfin jetty]

Sure, as long as you dont overclock. Also wait do x3d chips even come with a stock cooler?

[vast crow]

No, i have a spare intel one

From an oem pc

[elfin jetty]

Uhhhh I dont think thats gonna work then

Different sockets and mounting hardware

[vast crow]

Its almost identical to the amd one

It will fit

[elfin jetty]

Almost doesnt mean it will work. But you can definitely try.

[vast crow]

I wont game on it i just wanna boot windows and drivers on it

And then dont touch it until my aio comes

And a 240mm aio is fine with a 7800x3d right?

[dusky jacinth]

My personal opinion of Musk is just this:
He manages to do well at everything business and tech investment-wise, even the fact where he became a third-party to clearing out any potential crap in government, technically it was... I guess fine.
But when it comes to everything else, especially when he decides to mess with the product line and options and then with his public relations, that's where I find him to just be either really ignorant or just a flat out dumbass.

[vast crow]

Specifically the arctic liquid freezer III 240mm aio argb

[elfin jetty]

The thing is he's proven to be a flat out dumbass in almost everything he has done. And he wouldnt be anywhere near where he is today without that emerald mine money

[vast crow]

Wait so cooling the 7800x3d is fine with a stock cooler right?

[elfin jetty]

Should be fine yes, but idk why you didnt go for air cooling if you got a 240mm aio

[winged spire]

im not invested in the personal opinions of jenen huang nor elon musk or literally any other CEO

[dusky jacinth]

I never really could quite believe the whole "German sympathizer" crap because to me, that's just everyone's validation to find a reason to want to put him under arrest and then in French Revolution style, put his head under a guillotine, but otherwise... He's great at business, terrible with public perception, best that he should've never bought out Twitter for the reasons he probably thought he could, just because of it.

[vast crow]

It looks cool

[elfin jetty]

You dont remember the salutes... or the other shit he's publicly said on twitter?

[dusky jacinth]

To me, that was an idiotic choice because it opened him up to having everyone pick apart his ass for every stupid thing he says and does, whether it was intentional in meaning, was a slow day and he didn't think about what he said completely, or was joking. It doesn't matter the case, the fact is he put himself front in center that way, so intentional or not, he opened himself up to looking like an idiot... And that's where he is now.

[winged spire]

billionaires are terrible people more at 11

live amish if you actually live by those morels

[elfin jetty]

You dont become a billionaire without stepping on everyone else to get where you are

[stark idol]

I have 4 more 140mm fans where should I put them
Also how is the cable managing so far

[static perch]

i like the case

[elfin jetty]

Fair, but just as a heads up a decent air cooler will usually perform the same if not better than a 240mm aio for cheaper

[elfin jetty]

Thicc Boi server

[winged spire]

if my stupid fucking slumlord doesnt fix the AC im not gonna pay rent bro im losing my mind

its 90 degrees in here now

It makes the board look so small it’s funny

Just lemme enjoy my pc vro

[stark idol]

Thx i designed and printed everything myself

[vast crow]

I chose it for a reason

Its not that deep

[static perch]

yup looks like custom solution

[knotty crown]

why no techlinked still 😭 Is there a staff person here who can answer?

Can we ping riley here or sth

[dusky jacinth]

I've never lived on Twits o' -ter or ever intended, before or after the fact he bought it and I don't care most of the time what anyone says there.
As a former Tumblr user, I've learned our crapwads went there and given their reputation, that was more than enough reason for me to deem that platform worthy of it's title, given by it's creators unironically, to have been a mistake in it's very conception.

That perception out of me has not changed in years and I'm actually disappointed the site still stands.

[vast crow]

Can i tape a fan to a 7800x3d to cool it for like 2 days

[elfin jetty]

I was giving a heads up???? I wasnt saying its bad

[elfin jetty]

Oh I dont even have a Twitter account, it just tends to leak into other places

[winged spire]

the funny thing is bluesky is worse now

bluesky is identical to twitter but an additional like 40% redditor

my twitter is just lots of cats as you can probably tell from my post history lol

[molten flare]

hey! Is it just me, or does other people notice also? I feel my mouse clicking is a bit unresponsive, not sure if an windows update did this, or if my mouse buttons are getting weared

[winged spire]

Threads is also terrible

I dont think humans are able to use that type of social media without being terrible lol

[molten flare]

threads ey ? i dont know what. but i get random posts, alwauys from some weird women that says nobody likes her because something... and wants likes and such,, really have no diea what kind of scam that is

"Why i get no likesm because I'm trance...?" etc

[winged spire]

yeah twitter has the same issue

[molten flare]

i mean... what do they want

[winged spire]

they want money loll

[molten flare]

they have hundreds of comments

haha figures

[winged spire]

people will send them money because there are a lot of sad lonely men lmao

[molten flare]

i'd rather waste my money on AI

[dusky jacinth]

Eugh. Whatever you want then, I guess...

[molten flare]

WDYM ?

I always waste money on computer stuff and hardware

last year I bought a ULT Freezer. It weights 70+ kilos.... it freezes down to -80... usefull ? have no idea what to use it for

[dusky jacinth]

It kinda feels that way sometimes, yeah.
Though I have to say the lack of automated filtering is what makes being Bluesky difficult in my case. It becomes a very similar issue as with Tumblr, while only at the least having the ability to mute threads and hide posts you don't want to see (the latter never had this feature whatsoever, even though people had long been asking for it).

[molten flare]

but I do that rather than just give away money to random people online

[winged spire]

thats pretty sick

-80 celcius ?

[molten flare]

yes -80 celcius

[winged spire]

Send me one

lol

[molten flare]

I got no impulse control

[dusky jacinth]

Honestly, respectable, so as long as it's not a complete throwaway later.

Generative AI is... One of those said throwaways from what I and others foresee.

[molten flare]

if i let it run non stop, it will freeze a can of redbull in less than 10 minutes

[winged spire]

atleast with twitter the algo will only show you stuff you interact with

like, if you simply never interact with politics you wont be shown political garbage

thats how I got my feed to be 60% cats and 40% tech/3d printing/aerospace

[waxen temple]

Someone is advertising in DM from here

[molten flare]

report and block

[pallid falcon]

Mods cant do anything nust blo k and report to discords trash bin

[waxen temple]

No mods omg?

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, on Bluesky you don't have this, so you have to do it all manually every time.
Tumblr, you can't do any filtering at all unless you go out of your way to block people outright, which just... Adds to the problem honestly.

[winged spire]

the best part aboutt the twitter blocking system is you can just block every single advertiser lol

[dusky jacinth]

Momo is, but because it's in DMs, they can't do anything about it.

[pallid falcon]

They say every time they cant do stuff on dm scanners because its not in the server

[dusky jacinth]

^Bingo

[waxen temple]

Well it's not a scammer, just somebody advertising their tech server

I blocked them tho

[winged spire]

bruh im so sick of warship

[pallid falcon]

Pat pat

[winged spire]

what

[dusky jacinth]

Lol whut.

[winged spire]

it said I said the C word bruh where

[robust fjord]

(lol my kb is broken)

[waxen temple]

?

[pallid falcon]

Either ive gotten better at following rules or warship relaxed recently

[winged spire]

it just complretely false flagged me

[dusky jacinth]

Wow. Bot might need a tweak or two. Lol.

[waxen temple]

It's tired of peace and wants war

[robust fjord]

Reply to ltt recent vid: its youtube causing the drop in views they are shoving shorts on long form ppl by default like junk at the front. I hate it man, I love the long form vid

[pallid falcon]

Warship is a trash bot so not surprised

[winged spire]

atleast it doesnt advritise NFTs like mee6

[dusky jacinth]

For moderation, MEE6 isn't that much better either I feel.

Then again, I've found that just having a custom bot works better if anything, just that you'd need to know how to make one just to have one and that's the real drawback.

[winged spire]

??

do they spam you? lol

If I made a popular disord bot id definitely add a user blacklist I could edit

[pallid falcon]

[dusky jacinth]

Whoa.

That happened.

[winged spire]

so If you piss me off I could just blacklist you from every server its in lol

like if mee6 devs decidied to ban you from every server mee6 was in you basically couldnt use discord again

[pallid falcon]

It was like a year ago anyway

[toxic steeple]

hi does anyone know if the LTT minecraft server still runs??

[strange elk]

Not in years

[dusky jacinth]

That thing's never been running for a loooong time.

[toxic steeple]

oh okay

[dusky jacinth]

You have a better shot getting onto Dawid's MC server than LTT's because that's still up.

[silver sun]

591

[pallid falcon]

I keep seeing a lot of ppl askign that recently. Is yt pushing that video in algorithm again?

[dusky jacinth]

Say that again?

Might be. Wouldn't be surprised.

[toxic steeple]

probably

or might just be that i watched like 10 different server videos in 2 days

anyone got any minecraft servers worth joining which arent like all anarchy ??

[strange elk]

Apoc is neat

[zealous barn]

was playing a game that had so much going on that it dropped to 10 fps and then it crashed my pc, 10/10

[dusky jacinth]

SMPs, I don't know. I did mention Dawid's (DawidDoesTechStuff), Tenthiddy Network (which I'm an admin for), though that server's been fairly empty for a long time. BubboSMP closed a while ago with no clear idea if it'll re-open for a fourth season. MacMC might be opening an SMP at some point, though I'm lacking any details for that so I don't know for sure. PebbleCraft by Lunar (CygnusMC) I know is up, but then that's modded sooo I dunno, just depends on if you want to play modded or not.

Just bought this rtx 5070 and am wondering if anyone knows wtf this piece is supposed to be about

It’s like a plastic slider piece and for the life of me I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be kept on or taken off

[winged spire]

No

Idk fuck all about AC but the box is making the noises and blowing air

[vapid smelt]

https://www.hwcooling.net/en/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-5070-gaming-oc-review-quiet-on-cue/ ARGB LEDs also illuminate a side strip at the card’s rear, which can be covered with a Gigabyte-logoed cap.

[winged spire]

It’s just not cooling down

[bold brook]

Cheers, thanks

[winged spire]

The unit outside is also not spinning I think

Whole system is definitely older than I am

[bold brook]

It’s a very strange little piece and I think I messed it up. Lol.

Now I have to pray that this thing fits into my case, it’s going to be a super super tight fit if it does

[winged spire]

This is why you always pour grease down sinks and use flushable wipes as toilet paper

[vapid smelt]

Also the gigabyte website has a animated slide telling you what it is

[vapid smelt]

My plumber dad would hate reading this

[bold brook]

Yah tbh this was a last minute purchase I was going to get a completely different model so I wasn’t familiar with this one

[vapid smelt]

Is that the water heater below it?!

[winged spire]

Yh

[vapid smelt]

O God that's awful

[winged spire]

Way too small too

Never seen a water heate so small

It’s got like 7 minutes worth of hot shower water

Nah it’s like 15 but it’s still not long enough

[vapid smelt]

Ask your lord for a tankless water heater

[winged spire]

Lmao

Funny joke

[vapid smelt]

no drain?

[winged spire]

For like a leak?

Uh

[vapid smelt]

Yeah

[winged spire]

No

It’s right on carpet too, and I’m on the 2nd floor lol

[vapid smelt]

Lmao no drain or water heater pan

[vapid smelt]

In Utah you would need a earthquake strap on it too

[winged spire]

We don’t get many of those lol

I’ve been in one earthquake when I use to live in Connecticut

Just a smol one

[vapid smelt]

My good that would be a pain to drain and move

[winged spire]

They’ll bring in the 4 dumbasses again to fuck my shit up

You know about my bathtub situation right?

They still haven’t replaced the tub

[bold brook]

Earthquake in Connecticut? Whaaa?

[winged spire]

I was gone in Canada for nearly 3 weeks under the assumption it would be fixed by the time I got back

They didn’t even come to look at it again in that time

[vapid smelt]

I do not

[winged spire]

Basically something was flooding my downstairs neighbor

Apparently the overflow drain On the tub is the issue (took them 4 visits to figure out it wasn’t from not using a shower curtain)

About 6 weeks ago was the visit they finally figured it out for, said they need to replace the whole tub then just.. didn’t

[vapid smelt]

Normally you have tub/,shower pan under it

[winged spire]

Apparently it was a whole waterfall directly onto my neighbor every time

[vapid smelt]

Lmao

Tubs are a pos to install

[winged spire]

First they came and fucked with the toilet and left, came back like 3 more times then tried to blame me for not using a shower curtain

They only cent an actual plumber once I threatened to sue

[vapid smelt]

I don't think real plumbers did your building

[winged spire]

Every time they came they also made a mess of my bathroom like leaving whole chunks of the wax seal from reseating the toilet

Half empty water bottles

[vapid smelt]

Did they have shoe socks?

[winged spire]

No

Muddy ass boots all over my carpets

[vapid smelt]

[vapid smelt]

Make sure to check for cracks when you get a new tub

[winged spire]

It ain’t my problem lol

That’s the downstairs neighbor and management’s problem

If they wanna install a cracked up tub and have more leaks I’d be happy to join my neighbors in the lawsuit

[bold brook]

It’s really 95° in your place right now? That should be criminal on behalf of whomever owns the building

[winged spire]

Yes

It’s should be

[bold brook]

How long has it been that way

[winged spire]

Nearly 2 days since the AC went out

Just continuously gotten hotter

[bold brook]

What’s their excuse for not having fixed it yet? Just dirtbag management or are they coming up with some other excuse?

[winged spire]

My only contact is with a call center in india

[bold brook]

Omg

[winged spire]

They’ve filed 4 work orders one for every time I call and literally nothing else happens

[bold brook]

I feel really bad for you straight up, I would be legit losing my mind

[winged spire]

Don’t worty, I am

[bold brook]

Can you afford to buy one of those “portable” kind of stand alone AC units? Even if you have to go return it afterwards?

[winged spire]

Gonna take a couple days to get here anyway

[bold brook]

I had to do something like that a few years ago and it was well worth it, found one on Craigslist for like 120 bucks that drained out with a hose and into an internal bucket

Do you life in the boonies or something? Surely there’ll be something on Facebook marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist etc

[winged spire]

Yeah kinda

[bold brook]

Could get one of those units and set up a little makeshift tent in your living room

[winged spire]

Nothing out here

[bold brook]

Does it cool off at all during the night? I am such a baby, I couldn’t sleep at all in those temperatures, I’d wind up getting a hotel or something and then demanding reimbursement from the property owner. In some states AFAIK it’s illegal for them to have the temperature so high in the units and you may be able to get some recourse that way

Slumlords and faceless corporate property management companies are the absolute worst, such a nightmare

[winged spire]

probably gonna get a hotel

idk how people lived here before AC existed

their lives must have been horrible

its crazy how their job is literally

own property get money

hey chat any of you play fps games? i'm researching something right now

[sharp notch]

guys

https://tk.tokopedia.com/ZSAt6oGKC/

https://tk.tokopedia.com/ZSAtMATsT/

which of these two are good thermal pads that i should use

@viscid elm @oak pier helpp my coach

[iron lintel]

so
havent watched any linus videos in a while
uhm
when did he become 🤓
never knew he got braces

[viscid elm]

Non of the above, you do not need thermalpads you need ptm 7950 or thermaleight helios

[sharp notch]

just help me pick 1 of either

[viscid elm]

Ptm 7950 or thermaleight helios

[sharp notch]

thats 0.25mm?

[viscid elm]

You so not need thermal pads

[sharp notch]

i do

its brittle n dry already

[viscid elm]

You said it yourself

[viscid elm]

What are the temps on vrm and vram

[sharp notch]

95

[viscid elm]

Usable

Also they should not be the same temp

[sharp notch]

exactly

my memory and hotspot is the sameee

[viscid elm]

I said vrm

[sharp notch]

how do i check that in HWmonitor

[viscid elm]

I think it should just say vrm

Anyways if you wanna repad it you need to know the exact pads used in each place

[sharp notch]

https://thermalpad.eu/thermal-pad-sizes/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-turbo-10g/ i saw this

its pretty sophisticated but the comments said theyre all using 1.5mm on all @viscid elm

try rustdesk

i personally use to mirror my laptop screen on one of my monitors but i think they also have android app and it uses you home network so no speed issues

[quaint salmon]

awesome, thank you

wow scrcpy is perfect

its so smooth

[mystic cobalt]

ok i gotta try it this too

[quaint salmon]

interestingly, it blocks the lockscreen pin and my authenticator app

[mystic cobalt]

is it wired?

[quaint salmon]

its wired but can be wireless too

[mystic cobalt]

ok

on it

[strange elk]

Yea at least for the auth app I assume its the same thing that blocks screen capture on secure apps. It might be a setting in the authenticator but I dont really recommend removing it. Should show a black screen for browsers in incognito too (at least does for Ironfox when screenshotting).

[quaint salmon]

yeah, thats interesting (me on incognito)

Its called FLAG_SECURE apparently. Netflix also uses it ofc. DRM and all

Better than the arc a310? I’ve seen people praising them for that but I don’t trust everything I see on the internet haha 😂

[viscid elm]

The 3050 is miles better

[gilded quest]

A310 is great for transcoding video

But 3050 will be better for everything else

[hushed mist]

It’s in a server so it is strictly for plex

[gilded quest]

People love A310 for Plex servers, etc

But it from a retailer with a reasonable return policy and test it in your server

If the experience sucks, return it

Or if 3050 is cheaper just get 3050

[viscid elm]

Why TF did you not say it

[viscid elm]

3050 got no av1

A310 all the way for jellyfin

Yet another study proving EVs are more environmentally friendly

An electric truck with a 300-mile range emits 37% less CO2 than an ICE-only compact car over the course of its life

Mfw a cybertruck is better for the environment then a non hybrid civic

"im not reading that" really hurts my brain... humans really are coming to an end it seems

[winged spire]

I hate warship

[gilded quest]

Fuck EV pricing

[fossil frost]

DoD being a major investor in 3D printing, is why 3D printing companies are more and more shifting away from open source... .its easier to sell to a VC company when you are closed source and have DoD contracts

EV pricing is cheaper than it was 5 years ago, and much cheaper than 10 years ago... wider adoption will lead to bigger scale and lower prices

you just opt in at the point when you are comfortable

i bought my car last year, went for ICE because the car i wanted, had an ICE and a EV version, EV version was only a year old and out of my budget.... my ex-wife just bought a 2 year old EV version of the same car... for the same price i paid for the ICE version... her cost per mile is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than mine though

[winged spire]

Brand new EVs in America start well under the average for a new car

WELL under

[fossil frost]

in the UK, the EV model and ICE model of the exact same car... the EV model will be about 10% more expensive

[winged spire]

The average is like 49k spent on a new car or something and the majority of EVs start like 20k below that

[fossil frost]

you are comparing the middle, to the lowest bound there

you need to compare the average ICE vs the average EV

[winged spire]

The bottom tier EVs are more performant than the model class ICE

[fossil frost]

ICE cars start MUCH lower than the average ICE car too.... its not limited to EVs

[winged spire]

The cheapest new car in America is like 18 grand

And it’s shit … obviously

[fossil frost]

the cheapest EV will also be shit.. because its the cheapest

[winged spire]

The average spent on a new car in America is somewhere around 50k

[winged spire]

No

I’m not aware of any new EVs that are still dogshit

[gilded quest]

Seems like most of the new EV models are leaning towards SUVs and trucks and start like 50k

[winged spire]

We aren’t in 2016 Nisan leaf territory anymore

I could definitely see Apple getting into fab

They already have a large team of world class designers

The biggest barrier is obviously the cost… one fab is an 8 figure investment

And one that won’t even start generating revenue for a decade

not make

google pays apple billions to keep goole as default browser

[winged spire]

Current events…

[gilded quest]

Apple owns none of their own manufacturing

[winged spire]

Apple micromanages the fuck out of Foxconn

[gilded quest]

And they excel at working with suppliers and pitting them against each other

Yeah they prefer to micromanage the factory as opposed to being the factory

[winged spire]

To the point where they have American machinists operating the same machines in America to figure out specially how to operate the factory they don’t even own

Cycle times, programs

Apple could go as far as working with a fab to build out a bespoke apple only site/production line

[winged spire]

Yeah

[gilded quest]

But I don't see them buying a fab or starting up themselves

[winged spire]

I do think silicon is different though

[gilded quest]

Certainly not the latter
The former I guess could happen but I wouldn't think likely

[winged spire]

Any company can run a line of CNC machines or whatever

It needs dedicated investment of billions over a decade to get a fab going

[gilded quest]

The latest player in leading edge is Rapidus which licensed technology from IBM

[winged spire]

They’re a fab?

[gilded quest]

GloFo is, well, stuck on 14nm derivatives

[winged spire]

Intel moment

[gilded quest]

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

[gilded quest]

Intel moment indeed but Intel also invested into EUV, eventually, and have produced wafers on sub 10nm EUV nodes

[winged spire]

Is Intel working on MAKING EUV?

Or is it still just ASML

[gilded quest]

Like an ASML? Nobody is competing with ASML except for some Chinese companies because they cannot get ASML

Like China has to try and develop EUV domestically because they can't buy any EUV due to sanctions or whatever afaik

[winged spire]

One less aircraft carrier

[gilded quest]

And they are many many many years away from anything on that front

Nikon and Canon are non-competitive in DUV, but they do exist

[drifting cove]

Evening, guys!

[still notch]

Anyone can help me i just built my first pc but its not turning on

[gilded quest]

EUV: Dutch monopoly
DUV: most revenue goes to the Dutch with whatever small percentage remaining going to Japan

[winged spire]

I find it really funny that apparently ASML is beholden to American export regulations

Despite being Dutch, ITAR still applies

[drifting cove]

Is the power supply turned on?

[gilded quest]

Many companies invested in ASML EUV development

[round bridge]

Should I get a framework, chat?

[gilded quest]

Including Intel then they didn't fucking use it at first RAHHHH

[still notch]

I think so it’s on the I switch

[winged spire]

ASML was Kingmade by the US

[gilded quest]

I assume ASML is exempt from tariffs but I've not actually looked

[gilded quest]

And Taiwan and south Korea

There's a few monopolies in this market

[drifting cove]

Plugged in and turned on at the mains?

[gilded quest]

ASML on scanners
The Japanese on photo resists

[winged spire]

I wonder what else itar applies to despite being out of the US

[still notch]

I’m new to pcs what’s a mains

[gilded quest]

Taiwan on actually making a good wafer

[winged spire]

That’s the only thing I know of like that

[drifting cove]

The plug socket.

[still notch]

I think so

I’m not sure

[drifting cove]

Can you check?

[still notch]

Can you do like a video call to see what is happening I’m honestly lost

[noble gazelle]

I have a S25 Ultra (1TB ) and decided to get a Z Flip 6 ( 256gb )

[winged spire]

I saw some very fucking sick lidar demos at ces 2025

Lidar on chip

[obsidian horizon]

i dont like foldable phones honestly

they are cool and stuff yeah

but i think normal one has more value

plus foldable screen is kinda fragile

[noble gazelle]

@obsidian horizon you're not wrong but to be honest my s25 ultra with one terabyte of storage is my main phone I got the flip 6 to try out the folding and flip phones and see about the durability don't worry I have warranty

[near nymph]

Foldable are shit

Well they don’t last… not good for environment

[noble gazelle]

I hope this helps - https://a.co/d/9Qqg6s5

[winged spire]

The fold 1 through 6 all have the exact same hinge flaw

[noble gazelle]

flaw?

[winged spire]

Where they’ll just misalign with normal use and eventually stab themswlves through the back of the screen

I’ve “fixed”.. so many… so many

The 7 almost certainly has the same issue but I don’t do phone repair snymore

[obsidian horizon]

eh idk if warranty will help if you damage the screen

[winged spire]

It does

If you just say it broke they’ll repair it

For a year, because Samsung themselves knows how fragile and terrible these devices are

[silver sun]

[obsidian horizon]

makes sense

[bitter harbor]

You have got to be kidding mehttps://youtube.com/shorts/opLlU3peh2k

[jaunty compass]

Daily driving my test bench just to mess with people

This GPU doesn't have any display outs so I have a gt 730 for display lol

[stark idol]

If a motherboard has cracked and bent corners can they be repaired or is the board just toast

[elfin jetty]

holy cablenest batman

[jaunty compass]

If the cracked/bent corners didn't damage any traces it should be fine

[jaunty compass]

The cables are zip tied together

[stark idol]

Lots of traces

[jaunty compass]

Only way to find out is to plug it in, anything that was damaged is fucked anyway

[stark idol]

So the board is fucked

[jaunty compass]

Possibly

(Probably)

[winged spire]

Ehh

You very well could be fine

[paper timber]

What yall think

[jaunty compass]

From what I see that's broken The board should still work but that's what we can see

The damage can very easily run deeper and hit something actually important

And since motherboards have a lot of layers on the PCB we have no way of knowing

[winged spire]

It would have to be a very poorly designed PCB for that to kill it

[last basalt]

bro tf? i thought keychron was an american company...

i checked the shipping status of my lemokey x3... it said it has departed from a facility in CN 🇨🇳 ??

[winged spire]

Keyboard manufacturer are basically all in China yes

Is this for AI SEO??? 🤣🤣🤣

That’s funny as fuck

[flint arch]

fr

first time I’ve seen that

[supple pawn]

I wonder if I can pay to have AI to always list my product as a recommendation?

[vapid smelt]

you buying the turn signal DLC?

[echo sluice]

[raven grove]

Ain't nobody making keyboards in the US

Also they are Hong Kong based

[keen mural]

i sold on the handle ngl

[supple pawn]

Tesla the new BMW? Never use a signal, tailgate people constantly, ride on the shoulder? Lol

Next gonna be monthly payment to use the headlights lmao

[winged spire]

Kia is

Kia drivers are by far the worst

Worse than bmw ngl

[winged spire]

I already have turn signals

And yes, if you buy a car without signal stocks and want to add them obviously it’s going to cost money

[supple pawn]

Why remove them in the first place?

[strange elk]

Damn yours was a lot more comprehensive than mine. That would've been like.. An end of year project if anything

[supple pawn]

Anyway, I don't see kias doing that shit here. It's usually some pavement princess Dodge ram pickup driving like a complete dickhead

[vapid smelt]

because its now 2017 and we are going to have full self driving so we dont need to signal or drive

[supple pawn]

How'd the trip go?

[strange elk]

Yay now I can dissociate for an extended period of time safely :D

[supple pawn]

Run over pedestrians in Florida?

[vapid smelt]

we will find out at the end of the year in 2017 🤣

pretend its 2016 still

Even if they were an American company, you think they make shit in the states lmao?

[vapid smelt]

@supple pawn oh and we dont need to charge the car ourselfs

[winged spire]

new email to my slumlord

[supple pawn]

You can get the same experience by just ubering across the country if you want to do that?

[winged spire]

plently of people prefer the buttons

ive never used it before so idk how I feel

[strange elk]

Yeah but that costs money. And you have to trust another human.

[supple pawn]

People care about the weirdest things. Still better than the fucking dial to shift gears. That shit is vile.

[winged spire]

my moms bronco sport has that

[supple pawn]

So would buying a Tesla?

[winged spire]

its horrible

hyundi has the worst gear selector by far

[vapid smelt]

the ram ac dial shifter is shitty

[supple pawn]

When you can't tell what gear you're in without looking at the dash there's a problem. Similar reason I don't like having the air conditioning and radio and shit in a touch screen.

[winged spire]

do NOT FUCKING BRING up AC

Im literally going to crash out

im going to fucking crash out

[strange elk]

Go to mcdonald

[winged spire]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Reform_Movement ive been learning a lot about some chinese history recently

[winged spire]

thats half my rent dawg

[vapid smelt]

get a baby unit for just the bedroom

and return it after your dicklord fixes the ac

[supple pawn]

You know how I turn on my ac/heat? I crank a knob. Radio tuner is a knob. Nice, tactile buttons for everything else. Gear shifting is all manual, a nice 6 speed manual.

Open a window?

[vapid smelt]

SCP is in humid Louisiana a box fan wont help much

[supple pawn]

Getting to the nice weather here finally

[supple pawn]

What is that, Fort Polk?

[winged spire]

Louisiana

[supple pawn]

Oh don't you worry. It won't stop at 63. In a few months it'll get below zero.

You can have the foot of snow when it comes lol

[vapid smelt]

fuck warship, buy a $170 window unit and subtract it from your rent and tell your landlard to suck a egg for not fixing it in time if they bitch about it

[vapid smelt]

god utah needs that snow we get most our water from snow

[winged spire]

I’m already subtracting my hotel stay

Probably gonna get another one tonight

[supple pawn]

Check your local laws first. May get into some shit for that.

[winged spire]

If I have to meet the landlord in person im going to get my self arrested dude

I’m actually about to fucking snap

My classes start tomorrow and I have no house now

[vapid smelt]

i checked his state new channel about it and they said the renter can pay to fix it themselves and write if off the rent if the landlord fails to do so in time

[winged spire]

They’re actively violating the lease

I’m going to sue

I got all the time in the world

[vapid smelt]

not having anyone come check it out within 3 days sounds like they failed to do their job in my mind

like oh your ac unit is down sorry its labor day we cant send anyone but on Tuesday or Wednesday we can! shouldve been the play

@winged spire when did your old ass ac unit die?

[winged spire]

I haven’t been able to speak with anyone that isn’t a stupid call center

5 calls to the call center

And now 5 messages (4 ignored emails and 1 ignored DM)

[vapid smelt]

https://www.shitexpress.com/ you have the landlords address?

[winged spire]

I went to the office, had like a 5 minute chat about 10 hours ago and still nobody

[winged spire]

I have the top 3 highest ranking employee’s personal addresss now

Yes
