It's probably either like the scammer forgot to finish the email or their trying to get a response to pitch their scam

Linux doesn't take PRs that way, they dont use github, it's just there as a backup/mirror, so people troll in the PRs

Take a look at pr #437

Anyone know car audio well?
I need some advise lol

[alpine gale]

Yeah I listen to my car stereo everyday!

[amber hound]

Well im curious rn
Im trynna have a simple system in my truck
I dont have money for an amp and im not trying to wire all that
So I wanted to know if getting a headunit with a built in amp is gonna be good enough
Cuz these have 50watts rms

Is this overpaying?
And should I jist get an amp
Or are 1 of these a good option?

[winged spire]

Those are so expensive lol

Without a screen no less

I paid about that much for my head unit that had a 7” screen with CarPlay

Best upgrade I did to my shitbox jeep

(Before it died because it’s a jeep)

[livid field]

[alpine gale]

Impossible to answer without knowing how many watts RMS your speakers can handle.

[alpine gale]

Yes. Headunits like those should be no more than around $100-$150 tops. Almost all basic headunits with amplifiers only output 14w, 25w, or 44w per channel. I'm sure there are some out there that do more, but in general, that's what you'll expect from a basic head unit.

[alpine gale]

Sonicelectronix and Crutchfield are where I start sleuthing for currently available models.

[winged spire]

Check bestbuy open box

Sometimes there’s some gems in there

Car parts are basically never used in the open box section because they likely just didn’t fit or something

[amber hound]

75 watt rms max

So i guess my main question is
Should I get myself an amp and wire up everything instead of dropping that much on a headunit?

And if so, where should I even start?
There are so many brands out there and its all just so confusing lol
I just want my stuff to sound nice lol

[restive lion]

step one: dont be in a car

usually separating the amp from the head unit is your best bet

[amber hound]

Aighty

And last question for yall beautiful peeps
Any brands i should look out for?
I heard lots of good things about alpine

[fossil frost]

going from basic bluetooth to Android Auto/Car Play, to me, felt like an equally big leap than it was to go from a dumb-audio system, to a bluetooth capable system with steering wheel controls. even though realistically, AA/CP dont DO anything more than the fully functional bluetooth setup

[restive lion]

the phone on a mount on the window, that is connected to the car via bluetooth

[restive lion]

i despise phone mounts blocking my view

[fossil frost]

the only real difference is that it moves controls to the screen on the car, instead of your phone.. making it legal to use in the UK

touch your phone while the engine is running in the uk... fine + points

Hi

[junior wyvern]

I finally finished the tomb raider saga!!!

[alpine gale]

Government/Insurance Companies: "NO TOUCH PHONE WHILE DRIVE!"
Auto manufacturers everywhere: "Hey everyone, look at this new car you can only operate by taking your eyes off the road because we designed the controls to be non-tactile!"
Government/Insurance Companies: "Huh, well, I guess if it's the only way they could design the car, it's legal."

[fossil frost]

and the auto manufacturers are doing it because... its cheaper to slap the same mass manufactured screen and controller in every car, than it is to install those physical buttons

[alpine gale]

Sometimes I feel like the people who run our country's need to take some technology + design courses.
https://tenor.com/view/dr-nick-simpsons-flammable-inflammable-gif-10204097

[alpine gale]

Oh I know. Still doesn't make sense that governments / insurance agencies don't seem to have a problem with this. 🤷 I try not to become distracted when operating a metal death machine, but it's impossible for me not to be distracted when all of the controls I expect to use whilst driving require my eyes to leave the road in front of me.

[fossil frost]

there needs to be a law in all countries "you are not allowed to legislate on things you dont understand, and you must PROVE you understand it"

and a further law of "if technology moves forward, that mandates the laws governing that technology to be immediately reviewed"

[fossil frost]

already done a 3rd, was a preqel, was ok.. but... not great.. they are doing a 4th.. (a real 3rd)

[restive lion]

the third was the kings man

[winged spire]

Wait

[restive lion]

it just missed the entire point of what people liked about kingsmen

[fossil frost]

"the entire point" being taron eggerton being a camp as fuck james bond? 😄

[restive lion]

On a budget of like 4 mil too

[fossil frost]

btw, tom holland, when he auditioned for spiderman, he was on something with Jon Bernthal.. and Bernthal said "on your tape, do a backflip" "why" "because then you are the kid who can do a backflip.. nobody else will have that... you are already spiderman"... and apparently that is what won the part for tom holland

Thermistor failure in my mk3S

[fossil frost]

i swapped one out a while back, when i thought it was the cause of an issue.. turns out, no matter how tight you twist and tape.. a dodgy connection is still a dodgy connection... even with a coupler, was still shit... eventually soldered the wires together... bullet proof since

[winged spire]

Yeah I think the connection is faulty at the actual thermistor

It’s not worth fixing, just gonna replace the whole thermistor

6$ shipped within the USA

[fossil frost]

even if they were not super cheap to replace.. and you did try and fix it, its not something you likely trust ever again after a repair

its a thing you are trusting to stop your printer from setting fire to your house... its worth the $6 for a new one

[winged spire]

Well it would just lead to a print failure but yeah

[fossil frost]

depending on the firmware, print would fail... or... your house would catch fire

Thanks bro much love

I have a used 5600G you think that would be solid?

[ashen dagger]

From my old build

[sullen ore]

As a start, absolutely. Though fortnite miiiight not be the smoothest, but you could tell your little brother to use some elbow grease to squeeze out more FPS. Fast ram, once again, will help a ton. Mind you it will need DDR4 ram

[ashen dagger]

Yeah ik

[round bridge]

8060s is the best igpu rn

[sullen ore]

oh thats perfect for fortnite

Yep, sounds good. SSD cooooould be bigger. Some games will shit the bed from a hard drive. Maybe invest in a 500 gig ssd, if you have the means. But aside from that, I think all good

[round bridge]

Looks to be cheaper to just buy a laptop with a 4060 dgpu

I look for ones with the 8060s and they were at £2000+

[ashen dagger]

Yeah I was gonna get a NVME for faster loading times and better ram sticks that are 6000Mhz, new motherboard and new case

[sullen ore]

DDR4 will not go to 6000. You gotta check that again. But nvme is a great idea

6000 is easy with ddr5 on the new system you are asking about... other guy thinks your CURRENT system you are upgrading FROM is the system you are buying

[sullen ore]

I'm still rocking my trusty gtx 1080, and at this point, I'm wondering when will integrated trade blows with it. Because that might be the point I upgrade my PC, but I will use integrated until the money rolls in for a dedicated GPU.

[ashen dagger]

This is an old build I’m going to get to my little cousin for Christmas

I refurbished the parts I just need new case, motherboard, NVME and better ram sticks

[sullen ore]

I uuuuh actually dont know. Gamers Nexus often lists ddr4 3200 ram in their benchmark charts. With very tight timings. So I'd say 3000 ish would be your thing. If you find a good deal for 3200 or higher, then take it I'd say

[fossil frost]

that CPU will struggle to go higher than 3600mhz for ram. maybe 3800 if you are good at overclocking and get good sticks

that 128gb ssd will be a problem... windows alone will use almost all of that these days

if you are getting an nvme.. 512gb NVMEs cost about the same as a coffee these days

[round bridge]

Windows is cheap asf

[ashen dagger]

What’s a solid budget AM5 CPU with IGPU

[fossil frost]

a board that takes a 5600, is AM4, not AM5, so you will need completely new ram and motherboard

[ashen dagger]

Yeah ima start over

I’d rather get him something that’s gonna last a while and still a lil bit future proof

[fossil frost]

then you are buying everything from scratch, rather than reclaimed parts

[sullen ore]

Probably the lowest tied AM5 CPU, the 7600. But I gotta warn, that while the cpu seems cheap, AM5 motherboards are expensive. So you will still pay quite a bit

[fossil frost]

tbh, if they are under say.. 14, they will likely be happy with whatever you give them, because something is better than nothing

[ashen dagger]

Hmm okay

So I should js stick to AM4 ig

[fossil frost]

what do they have now?

[alpine gale]

Oh... it's for RUST... in that case, even a super computer will struggle. (Last time I touched RUST the game's code was still unoptimized spaghetti...) More seriously though, that CPU and GPU are fine for RUST in its current form. Just don't expect RUST to run smoothly on ... anything, really.

[ashen dagger]

My lil cousin only has a PS4

That’s why I’m tryna get him something for Christmas this year

[sullen ore]

AM4 is the budget option. You can still squeeze out a lot from it. AM5 will cost more, but it will do better long term. For a little brother, and AM4 based system will be fine for now

[fossil frost]

so.. PC wise... they are going from nothing, to something... something is better than nothing.. .and they will be very very happy to go from nothing, to something

people still game on 6th gen intel cpus from 10 years ago dont forget

[ashen dagger]

Ok so what is the best budget AM4 CPU with IGPU in your opinion

[fossil frost]

i thought you said you were building this from parts you already have?

[ashen dagger]

Nah I changed my mind, my bad for not saying it earlier

[fossil frost]

if you are buying, buy cheap am5 if you can, if not, am4 is fine, if you are building from parts you already own... use whatever you already have

[sullen ore]

You lost me at iGPU. I have no idea what's their performance is nowdays.
I thought you had a 5600 on hand. I'd say give them that. It's free, if you already have it.
But a quick and drity answer to your question, would probably be anything with 3D in the name.

x3D processors have integrated graphics, right??

[ashen dagger]

I do have 5600G on hand

[round bridge]

I would just get an 8700g

On am5

[ashen dagger]

I have scrap parts

[round bridge]

5700g has a better igpu

[sullen ore]

Build your little brother's PC from scrap parts, and buy things to deck it out a little for stable use. Like a cheap dedicated video card, or a new SSD as we said

[hybrid echo]

Square it

[craggy rose]

there are 2 types of people that shouldn't use the internet

one is, 95% twitter users, and scary intelligent teenagers

[hybrid echo]

Why the second part?

[craggy rose]

they don't have anything to lose, and just do stuff to see what will happen

[hybrid echo]

Thats not even close to reality but sure

[craggy rose]

bro

[hybrid echo]

Maybe you had a issue with a few of whatever you are on about but thats farthest from the truth

[craggy rose]

I was the teenager

that's the thing

[pallid falcon]

Am.i one who shouldn't use internet

[craggy rose]

I didin't even remembered but my old google drive has some really weird stuff

[hybrid echo]

Okay maybe you specifically didnt need to use the internet , but otherwise ppl can do anything 🤷‍♀️

[craggy rose]

sure

[hybrid echo]

Yes

[craggy rose]

just for context, I have saved a couple thousand police reports that the police had leaked in my old city by discarding some old hardrives that My teenager self got

now, just think what I did with that

[solemn goblet]

Oh god the police

[craggy rose]

yep

phone numbers, IDs

[pallid falcon]

[craggy rose]

that's not part of the stuff I found, if I'm remembering correctly, I just used the saved passwords and accounts in the hdd

It’s just a lil wear n tear

[oak pier]

It’s absolutely filthy and disgusting that it even got to that point

do you go stick your hands in mud between game sessions?

[plush jungle]

[alpine gale]

Assuming the circuit board still works, you replace the keycaps with a new set.

[oak pier]

with what

[plush jungle]

Ima wash the caps with dawn soap

[oak pier]

i wanna puke

[plush jungle]

Can I get new caps for this kind of board

[oak pier]

those are standard cherry style switches

basically any standard profile keycap set will fit

@winged spire https://us.elegoo.com/products/orangestorm-giga you have any plans on buying and building the gigastorm with a 800mmx800mmx1000mm build volume?

[winged spire]

Yeah I really wanted one

you can put 4 toolheads on it

so it turns the single printer into 4 like 200x200x250 printers

[vapid smelt]

take up like half of your printer room

[winged spire]

I got the perfect spot

[vapid smelt]

wonder if you could print a Mario style gocart in it in one print

oh 800mm is only 2.6 feet :/

[winged spire]

It also works as a table

So you can put more printers on top of it

[dusky jacinth]

I've seen the price mentioned for it. I'm guessing the OS Giga really is just the cheapest proper, large-scale 3d printer and that's about it, right?

[winged spire]

Yeah .. it’s 2000$ lol

[vapid smelt]

you would make 8 model rockets at a time i already know

[winged spire]

my rockets are all composites

[vapid smelt]

still need to print the end result of the challenger

[winged spire]

big bird was almost onboard

millions of children almost watched big bird explode live in school

[restive lion]

The kids are fast but big bird is faster

[dusky jacinth]

Others are either more expensive than that or have to be done DIY though, right?

[winged spire]

they dont get cheaper at all

even DIY

[summer folio]

Why does LMG's TechLinked channel always have background music btw? Think they commented on this once before

Asking now because everyone became annoyed on it last Episode when it was mixed in too loud

Is it because of some algorithm reasoning?

Does LTT videos all have constant background music?

What about Techquicky

Does WAN show have background music?

[cursive pumice]

wan show does not

[pallid falcon]

They do but recently for some reasom they cranked it up

[oak pier]

all the LTT videos do

[harsh pasture]

yo guys

before my screen looked all messed up with lines on it and no display at all

after changing the hdmi input display to 1.4

it started working, can having the wrong hdmi input caue no display at all

[wide furnace]

Picture?

[dense blade]

Y'all just lost the game

[wide furnace]

No not really it only matters on the speed also you're going from your GPU to your monitor right not your motherboard

[harsh pasture]

of the monitor?

[wide furnace]

Yeah what's happening

[harsh pasture]

it's not letting me put it in here so i dmed u it

[wide furnace]

Also 1.4 is an outdated format you need to make sure that you have the fully updated cables to your output and input pretty much just buy the lowest number but also you need to make sure it's plugged into your graphics card and not your motherboard

Starlink direct to cell is coming to all networks soon

[viscid elm]

oooo

[winged spire]

SpaceX just bought 50MHz of exclusive S band meaning they don’t have to rely on T-mobile’s spectrums

[viscid elm]

wait will it fully be internet anywhere you can see up to the sky

[winged spire]

Yeah pretty much

Right now it’s like the iPhone satellite messaging stuff

[viscid elm]

for how much i hate mr musky this is amazing

[winged spire]

Only about 600 of the Starlink satellites even have the capability but it’s rapidly getting better

The Next gen satellites is going to be ~20X the throughput per satellite for direct to cell… now starship needs to get functional to launch them

Wow.. the purchase was not cheap lol

• $17B ($8.5B cash + $8.5B stock at $400B valuation)
• $2B of interest payment help

[winged spire]

There’s 100,000 employees at SpaceX don’t give the credit to him 😭

[viscid elm]

when spacex gets money he does too

but yea the people at spacex are the ones who do what they do

[sage quiver]

$17B is crazy

Spectrum deals have always been nuts

well i am not innocent anymore

who the hell watches these things

[oak pier]

so, so many people

[obsidian horizon]

👌vWatchers

[teal agate]

a LOT of ppl

[muted steppe]

hi

[obsidian horizon]

🥀

are you one of them?

[solemn goblet]

Yep from EchoStar

Also AT&T too

“$23 billion acquisition will add an average of approximately 50 MHz of low-band and mid-band spectrum to AT&T’s holdings – covering virtually every market across the U.S. and positioning AT&T to maintain long-term leadership in advanced connectivity across 5G and fiber”

[hot thistle]

I’m still not clear what a vtuber is. Are they just streaming games and they have a persona that they place in corner in place of a face cam? Or are they like bloggers who only film through the persona?

[oak pier]

basically they map their cam to an animated avatar

so instead of seeing them, you see whatever their avatar of choice is

they’re streamers, not bloggers

[teal agate]

no

[winged spire]

Furry but they can’t afford the physical suit so they make a digital one

🐸

[winged spire]

This purchase price is over DOUBLE what SpaceX has spent on the entire starship program to date

[solemn goblet]

Insane lmao

Honestly though I kinda feel bad for the carriers. Missing out on this

But this will definitely help Starlink

Well AT&T did buy some spectrum so that’s good

[winged spire]

Those poor locally owned internet conglomerates😛

[solemn goblet]

The only assets Dish has now is some mmWave and CBRS

But essentially the fourth carrier in the USA is dead

[winged spire]

I’m on A&TT currently

It’s shit, but they all are here

[solemn goblet]

AT&T is actually ok/good in my area. Good amount of 5G+

Certainly not as fast as T-Mobile or Verizon though

[old magnet]

I did no one’s taking me seriously it’s frustrating

[solemn goblet]

Max speeds on AT&T here is 1,100 Mbps download. On T-Mobile it’s 2,300 Mbps

[pliant karma]

rip same here though they finally did a fiber run so it's been around 5 years since they swithced everyone to fiber lol.

[strange elk]

ATT bought spectrum?

Lol.

[pliant karma]

Tech that installed it did it improperly so during a wind storm everyone would see internet cuts until that was fixed 2 years ago .

[solemn goblet]

AT&T bought 50 MHz of 5G spectrum

[solemn goblet]

Bump

[strange elk]

If I can help it I'm never subscribing to ATT. Bloodsucking leeches

[obsidian horizon]

good to hear

[solemn goblet]

AT&T getting more 5G bandwidth is always welcome

Although they do need to improve density and coverage still with 5G

[strange elk]

Good for those on the network I suppose yeah

[solemn goblet]

I’m sticking to T-Mobile though

A lot of 5G speed from them here

Verizon isn’t far behind too

[strange elk]

I wanted to switch to mint in 2018, on my third year now though

Verizon I'll never do either. The fact the pixels that come from them are permanently bootloader locked tells me all I need to know about them

[pliant karma]

Also going out of the country it's decent, well they offer a good rate for me.

almost 4k usd for doors??? its on a 4x4 guess the brand

[winged spire]

Bro getting scammed lmao

[fossil frost]

tbh, ford wanted £800 from me, for a single door, when someone decided to crash into only my rear drivers side door

went to a scrap yard and pulled one off an identical car for £80 and fitted it myself

[winged spire]

Yeah so you could do 6 of those plastic doors lol

3600 is insane

[wide furnace]

suprising its honda charging that much...

[winged spire]

Did not cost them more than like 100$ to make

[fossil frost]

do honda manufacture in the usa? or are those doors being made on the other side of the planet?

[wide furnace]

i think so

[winged spire]

Yeah that’s insane bruh

[fossil frost]

so, its a fancy golf cart? and they want nearly 4 grand for metal doors?

i would buy multiple other golf cats, and when this one gets stolen, just use the other ones

[winged spire]

Those doors come off in like 2 bolts

Borrow one

[fossil frost]

what is it actually supposed to be? small transport for around a farm?

[wide furnace]

they offer a GLASS windshield for $1050, worst idea ever

[winged spire]

My uncle got a Polaris for his hunting lease

Very fun to fuck around in

[wide furnace]

@fossil frost this, mudding and yea transport

[winged spire]

Theyre pretty functional too but

I’m too poor for a 4x4 so I shove all the deer I shoot in my trunk 😛

[fossil frost]

friend of mine has a couple of something similar for his farm. and for when its raining and he needs to get the dog to round up the sheep and he cant be arsed to get wet 😄

[wide furnace]

the top model

$23000 !? i could buy a real car for that much

[fossil frost]

a real car, that could do the same job... better

[wide furnace]

Had to uninstall the meep meep ;(

[supple pawn]

Why even have doors on the side by side?

[wide furnace]

branch in face

[winged spire]

This is a good question.. they’re always in the way

[fossil frost]

get a quad bike, full face helmet, and a good jacket. for less than the price of the doors 😄

[winged spire]

Get one of them Euro*ean motorcycle trailers

My friend recently dropped like 9 grand on one of them

[supple pawn]

No doors is fine so long as you put rubber ducks on the dash

[winged spire]

I didn’t realize how expensive Ubers are lol

[wide furnace]

huh...

[winged spire]

I got my uber covered until my cars fixed but it’s like 11$ for a 4 mile drive bruh

[fossil frost]

depends on the day/time.. on NYE, it cost £45 to go 5 miles.. a few days ago, in the middle of the day, it cost my dad £7 to go 30 miles

[winged spire]

That barely covers gas??

Who is driving 30 miles for a fraction of a 7$ fair lmao

[solemn goblet]

Nice

[winged spire]

We got that indentured servitude fr

[solemn goblet]

Ngl I wish AT&T Fiber existed here

AT&T is doing well in fiber

[fossil frost]

most ubers here are PHEV with some sort of KERS system, because of the amount of time you spend doing short journeys in traffic

[solemn goblet]

I do have a fiber provider but they aren’t the best. It would be nice if there was another one

[winged spire]

I took a couple black cabs when I was in London

They’re pretty cool

[fossil frost]

it was listed as "uber shared", but nobody else got in.. so... my dad didnt complain

[winged spire]

Fantastic place to pass out drunk

[fossil frost]

black cabs are some of the most expensive taxis you can take

[wide furnace]

why would you tho?

[fossil frost]

in parts of london, you dont have a choice, its the only option.. rest of the country, private hire taxis are everywhere, also uber

[wide furnace]

tbh i wanna get one of these as my first bike

[gilded quest]

No rental/loaner options?

[winged spire]

They got me an enterprise but enterprise is shit and they don’t have a car even though they let Tesla rent me one

[gilded quest]

Like they just ran out of vehicles? Lmao

[winged spire]

Yeah I guess

Theyre getting me a civic 🤮

[gilded quest]

My only rental experience is from enterprise airport lots so fortunately those always have stock

[winged spire]

I haven’t driven a gas car in over a year

[gilded quest]

Bruh it's just a loaner you'll survive

[winged spire]

Gonna have to remember to turn the car off and actually use the brakes

[gilded quest]

My last rental they only had a Corolla and Altima in my corporate vehicle class

[fossil frost]

my ex wife has just switched to an EV, and the "engine braking", is something she was absolutely not expecting 😄

she "lifted off slightly, and the car tried to throw me through the window"

[winged spire]

If you charge to 100% it stops regen (obviously) and I’ve seen quite a few videos where someone just rams into the car infront of them

[gilded quest]

Aquatic gonna have to relearn how to turn an ignition key

[fossil frost]

not used a key to start my car in about 10 years, and i still have a petrol car

[winged spire]

It wouldn’t be my first time leaving the car running for several hours with the key left in the ignition lol

[gilded quest]

Mine is key to start but the key does have remote start that doesn't require an app + $150/yr subscription

[winged spire]

?????

Kia?

[gilded quest]

Yeah

[winged spire]

😐

[gilded quest]

2013 soul

If I'm within range I can remote start

[winged spire]

150$ a year is about 150$ a year more than the cellular costs needed for remote start lol

[gilded quest]

So in the winter I need to remember to leave the heat on full blast when I exit the car after returning home from work, then run up to the door and remote start while getting my bag together

[gilded quest]

I don't know the actual numbers but I think I saw a quote from Mazda or Subaru that was north of $150

Uhh, maybe those are only $100

[winged spire]

Atleast with my connectivity sub it also gives me things like a live steam of any of my cameras and such

[gilded quest]

My roommate is gonna have to pay $150/yr for the privilege of using Spotify in his new Rivian

[winged spire]

6 camera angles

[gilded quest]

(yes I'm sure you get other shit but still it's a $100k car can't they just cover the 5g plan?)

[winged spire]

Oh yeah, the 99$ sub also covers stuff like cellular for Spotify and such

[winged spire]

Eh

[gilded quest]

The first year might be covered?

[winged spire]

They all do deals like that

[gilded quest]

I hated the Rivian so much

But it's the nicest I guess so that's what he got

[winged spire]

If you wanna save money buy a top end cybertruck because it comes with free connectivity for life /s 😂

[winged spire]

I love them

[gilded quest]

1. Don't care for the super minimalist dash with no buttons and all touch control
2. I want android auto
3. I felt the Ioniq 9 to be a more comfortable back seat experience however just my personal opinion there

I really don't like full touch screen controls

[winged spire]

If FSD got licensed to rivian it would be easily the best car on the road

[gilded quest]

And just let me use android auto or car play

[winged spire]

Never gonna happen though

[gilded quest]

Like they can have their fancy unreal engine software and implement android auto too

[fossil frost]

isnt the only reason to have remote start, so that you can turn the heaters on in winter from your house? and.. dont EVs have a HUGE heater coil that can effectively heat up the car instantly?

[obsidian horizon]

i can buy bmw 116 2007 model for this much money

[winged spire]

Well here it’s AC

[obsidian horizon]

actually it will cost 500-1000 $ more

[winged spire]

teslas use heatpumps for AC/heating and I’d assume rivian does as well

[fossil frost]

you could have bought my ex wife's 2015 X1 for the same money too (the car she just sold to get her EV)

[gilded quest]

We have the best of both worlds
Need AC in the summer and heat in the winter

[obsidian horizon]

bmw?

[winged spire]

Legacy auto uses their crappy ancient AC designs even in their new EVs

[fossil frost]

BMW X1 yes

[winged spire]

Which is why legacy auto EVs have super super small frunks and such

[obsidian horizon]

wow thats crazy

[winged spire]

I assume rivian uses a heat pump aswell

[obsidian horizon]

the only thing holding me back is fuel cost of that car

[gilded quest]

Man I was so confused why the Ioniq/EV9 had non-existent frunks

[fossil frost]

a 2007 BMW 118 would cost, roughly fuck all in the uk right now

[obsidian horizon]

im in europe

[fossil frost]

europe is a continent, not a country

[gilded quest]

Ehhh

[obsidian horizon]

yeah

[primal karma]

Big mouse

[obsidian horizon]

greece

[obsidian horizon]

used to operate servers

[fossil frost]

ahh greece, the one place in europe (europe-ish) that is worse than the uk for the cost of more or less anything

[obsidian horizon]

i know

[winged spire]

Yall seen the air filter change on the VW EV van thing?

It’s like a 3 hour process lmao

[obsidian horizon]

it requires air filter?

for ventilation right?

[winged spire]

Cabin

[gilded quest]

Cabin

[obsidian horizon]

yeah

[winged spire]

Cabin air filter

[fossil frost]

is Greece still recovering from when it was on the verge of Germany almost having to just buy the whole of Greece, about 10 or so years ago?

[obsidian horizon]

good

[gilded quest]

I have to remove the fucking glove box

[obsidian horizon]

kinda

[winged spire]

Here is the full process lmao

[gilded quest]

On my car, for the engine air filter, it takes more time to open/close the hood than it does to change the filter.

For the cabin air filter I have to empty and remove the glove box 😔

[fossil frost]

have the people of greece realised they have to actually pay tax, so that the country doesnt collapse again?

[obsidian horizon]

yeah probably most of them

government itself was giving away money

cant blame it all on people

[fossil frost]

i was on holiday in greece when all of that happened.. and i asked a lady at the water park i was at "so, it says that the people are just not paying tax, is that right" and her answer was "why i would i pay tax if they dont make me pay it" 😄

[obsidian horizon]

well someone dont pay even if they make them lmao

was it back in 2010?

cuz originally im not from greece

[fossil frost]

around then yes

[obsidian horizon]

cuz my dad says that me and my mom had to go back to our country because they cut my dad's salary and he couldnt afford to keep us both here

oh also back then they paid 50% of cost of making a house for you, just cuz why not.

many of them left incomplete

[dusk ether]

any EU people here

🙂

[obsidian horizon]

yes

[plush grotto]

Technically yes.

[viscid elm]

i am EØS

[viscid elm]

no

[sharp cradle]

at least two id reckon

[plush grotto]

That's why I said technically yes, since we are a part of Europe but not EU

[dusk ether]

lol

[plush grotto]

And some laws makes us basically EU members

[viscid elm]

he did not ask about europe

[plush grotto]

Even tho we have said no twice.

[viscid elm]

we should join the EU

[plush grotto]

To get chat control?

[viscid elm]

mo control would be ideal

my main hope for Norway is becoming the clean power plant of europe

[plush grotto]

If we count just swap our windmills with nuclear power then it would be nice.

[obsidian horizon]

beware of indians rushing to england once you become part of eu

and pakistani's as well

[viscid elm]

windmills are nice

[viscid elm]

wat

[plush grotto]

And prioritise power for us first then feed the rest of Europe.

[winged spire]

[dusk ether]

🙂

[plush grotto]

Instead of selling our power then buying back.

[obsidian horizon]

as much as i know

yes

[viscid elm]

like 80% is already hydro

[viscid elm]

wa

[obsidian horizon]

anyways

[plush grotto]

Most of our power is German power

[obsidian horizon]

wait

[winged spire]

not much huh

[viscid elm]

wat

most of our power is our own

[obsidian horizon]

ok

[viscid elm]

if we ever need to import its Sweden

[plush grotto]

We sell to Europe then buy back at EU market price. That is why the prices increased a couple 100% after the cables got built

[silver sun]

597

[obsidian horizon]

why would you sell if you gon buy it back

let that sink in

[plush grotto]

Because politicians have bound us to the EU market for some stupid reason.

[obsidian horizon]

is us supposed to mean united states

😭

[plush grotto]

Early in 2020/2021 Sweden bought cheap power from north of Norway and sold it back to the south at a 600% increase at some times.

[obsidian horizon]

how does one pull this move

[plush grotto]

Sorry 6000%?

[obsidian horizon]

?

BRUH

[plush grotto]

From roughly 0.02 nok per kwh to 4.5 nok per kwh

[obsidian horizon]

tnah 6000% sounds unrealistic

oh wow

[plush grotto]

Norway is split into 2 electrical grids and 5 zones.

No4 is on a different grid. Compared to the others.

N04 today's average price.
0,09 kr/kWh
N02 today's average price.
1,19 kr/kWh

[plush grotto]

So yea, tiny differences.
Factories in south is closing at a quite high rate meanwhile in the north they are thriving.

[obsidian horizon]

understandable

[zealous grail]

What

The hell

[plush grotto]

[obsidian horizon]

what the helly

Japan has the worst power grid in the world

It’s half and half and each side is incompatible

[fossil frost]

i thought that was texas?

oh, that.. yeah

thats fucking stupid

[winged spire]

https://youtu.be/Mo88zA5nq4Q?si=NBoJnawxBcba1h8D

[viscid elm]

old

[winged spire]

For how small Japan is this is a big issue

[fossil frost]

yeah, i remembered the video as i was taking shots at texas

[fossil frost]

its the terrain rather than the size thats the issue

[dusky jacinth]

[viscid elm]

well they are trying to fix it after ya know

https://tenor.com/view/freezing-elmo-meme-it's-cold-winter-shivering-snowing-gif-12639548316257805494

[dusky jacinth]

The hell were they thinking? Damn.

[winged spire]

Like I think the US has like 6? Grids

But the US is the size of Europe

[viscid elm]

the US is mostly just 2

the US and texas

[winged spire]

Close enough

[viscid elm]

dam

[dusky jacinth]

Mmm dang.

[winged spire]

I think my house is in SERC

[viscid elm]

i was wrong it was 4 distinct ones
https://youtu.be/v1BMWczn7JM?si=2i2KI1-b9dhFqXXM&t=103

[dusky jacinth]

Wait, what's the 4th grid then?

[viscid elm]

ok well quebec

[winged spire]

Hawaii

[winged spire]

Alaska

[dusky jacinth]

Oh yeeaah.

[winged spire]

Alaska probably only has like 1000 miles of power lines total though lol

[solar iris]

is it better to put my pc in sleep mode instead of hibernate if i want to save more storage on my ssd

[winged spire]

Hardly a grid

[viscid elm]

save more storage on my ssd

[dusky jacinth]

I almost forgooo- Hold up, then that means Hawaii also counts too.

[quartz dew]

I'm on a 3070, what would be a resonable gpu upgrade for 1440p gaming

[viscid elm]

1TB nvme is like 50$

[dusky jacinth]

They are completely separate from everyone else's grids altogether.

[viscid elm]

how much money

[fossil frost]

depends on what games you play and on what settings

[solemn goblet]

A transformer blew up near the house I live in like a year or so ago

Literally saw the transformer on fire looking out the window

[quartz dew]

dunno, whatever makes sense for price to performance

[viscid elm]

do not breathe in the PCBs

[quartz dew]

idk assassins creed shadows type games?

[viscid elm]

ok 5090

[fossil frost]

if they want price to performance, and dont specify a budget, wouldnt starting a data centre business, with gpu servers, be the most cost effective upgrade, because that ends up as a negative cost

[viscid elm]

the main issue is, at least games really do not like running on 2 different gpus

only card better would be a rtx pro 6000 but its not as easy to get

[dusky jacinth]

Ours has sputtered a few times or so, though at least without exploding or throwing sparks.

[quartz dew]

hmm guess i'll just stick to my 3070 in that case

[viscid elm]

i just need a budget

[toxic blade]

Is this real

https://youtube.com/shorts/748mCOhtRZY?si=f0bGGiHZ1drVZtsg

[dusky jacinth]

Which is fortunate. Our part of my city's grid is pretty old.

[viscid elm]

a 5070 ti would be a massive upgrade anyways

[quartz dew]

whatever budget makes sense

[viscid elm]

just not a thing with computers

[viscid elm]

old but gold

if its taken care of well why mess with it

[quartz dew]

might just wait for the supers then assuming they wont get scalped

[viscid elm]

yea

[fossil frost]

in other news... a HUGE supply chain attack is happening with javascript (npm specifically) https://jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-just-found-malicious-code-in-the a guy who maintains a few very very very well used packages, has had their account compromised, and someone has uploaded malicious versions of those packages... and they are base level packages, packages that many other packages depend on... before it was noticed, affected packages were downloaded over 1 billion times

[quartz dew]

but even then >$1000 for marginal gains feels kinda eh

[viscid elm]

a 5070 ti is 750 for like 2x?

performance and vram

[quartz dew]

true, just feels like i could go for a ps5 at this rate 😭

[viscid elm]

your current gpu is already ps5 levels

[quartz dew]

hmm is a 3080ti similar to a 5070?

[viscid elm]

price?

[quartz dew]

in performance

other than RT core stuff

[viscid elm]

price?

terrible website

[dusky jacinth]

Well that's just it. Our side isn't just the founding community, it's the rural/farm community. We don't get a lot of people out here just whenever when it comes to grid maintenance. Only network people (particularly for AT&T) ever come out here even frequently enough to do maintenance jobs.

[fossil frost]

better than UB, and if all you are after is a rough guide, its good enough

[quartz dew]

i do wish there was a good card vs card website

[viscid elm]

no its not
