Just wondering why it would be better

[urban sun]

chat, i'm planning to upgrade my 1156 motherboard from i3 550 to i5 760. what gpu should i use with it? i want it to be an appropriate gpu from around that era. i know nvidia gtx 400 series launch at the around the same time as the processor, but i hear it's a mess. should i go with 500 series or 600? (oh and i don't think i can afford the higher end like gtx 590/690)

[winged spire]

stuff like VRMs and stuff for laptops are also going to have much worse tolerences then between an IHS and cpu cooler

thermal pads are thicker and have more structure so it fills larger gaps better

[vivid kelp]

ohhh

okay

Any good power bank brands besides anker and ugreen? Trying to find a power bank to replace my anker powercore elite 3. I dont want anything thicker than that one.

i would never get a flip

[plush grotto]

I did, I'm swapping to the 26ultra when that release.

[slender lark]

[plush grotto]

Went from S24U to flip7

[slender lark]

[plush grotto]

There is a pattern, I wanted to do the flip to try it out

I kinda regret.

[slender lark]

i would get a flip if the screen was like real phones

[plush grotto]

That will never happen

[slender lark]

i dont trust flips personally

[static perch]

i trust my brick phones

[pallid falcon]

nokia?

[winged spire]

the samsung folds all have a major design flaw

the hinges get misaligned with eachother with normal use and eventually stab themselves though the back of the screen

about 90% of the folds I repaired died like that, vast majority arent even user damage despite the screen being a hardness of like 4

idk about the fold 7s since ive stopped repairing phones but 1-6 all had the exact same flaw and ive got no reason to suspect theyve fixed it yet on the 7]

so just play the older versions

minecraft has gotten considerably better since 1.7 imo

Its not like a live service game where youre forced to play with the changes

[harsh quartz]

cool. still ahve to be logged into a microsoft account to even play offline. also have to get the minecraft launcher through the micorsoft store, so you have to be logged in there too

so then my computers local only account becomes tied to a microsoft account, which i didnt want it to be

[toxic blade]

i don't like that part

although i don't use their launcher i use prism

infinite instances

Its pretty shocking how little engineering work you can actually do on macos

It’s amazing to me people still buy little Caesars. It at least used to be cheap but it’s not even that anymore

[calm swan]

that would be the mac studio

[silver sun]

605

[warped burrow]

Or mac mini

yeah those fit the description but what I mean is a tower desktop pc not mini pc

[calm swan]

i mean it's not like the mac pro is upgradable

mac studio is basically the same thing without the pcie slots

and cheaper

[warped burrow]

True true

Basically paying allat money for some expansion slots

[calm swan]

what's the point x86 support ends next year

mac mini is cheap anyways

[warped burrow]

I know about hackintosh but it's not worth it since they are killing support for Intel based macs and windows is just better for these kinds of systems

[calm swan]

but is it worth it when the m4 mac mini is so cheap

[molten drift]

Anyone have recommendations on what I could use 40$ at Amazon for. I can't come up with any ideas.

[harsh quartz]

Ease of use and interoperability with drivers and applications

So like with Smash Champs, you can smash in badminton then play Smash Bros? Doesnt that mean the most logical food to serve there is smash burgers?

Well I can think of one more type of "smashing", but I'm sure it's not that kind of facility 🤨

[warped burrow]

What about safari

where are the tabs in safari

Idk about safari

I'm unknowledgeable

[summer folio]

Safari users don't need multiple tabs

[muted wind]

Joking aside tho, I have a feeling that linus would need to put in quite a bit of work in order to legally serve food at the place. Probably lots of red tape with food safety regulations before he can even think about it

[warped burrow]

I may as well just use brave since that's what I have on windows

vertical tabs are a stupid gimmick

taking up more usable space than normal tabs and also look weird because not simetrical

Just use normal tabs it's not that hard

[muted wind]

That said, if I ever visit the vancouver area again, I would totally be down to spend a day at smash champs and ask them to consider making smash burgers

[oak pier]

that would require food handling permits and inspections

far easier to sell pre packaged goods

[muted wind]

Yeah I said something along the lines after #public-chat message

But one can dream 😔

[urban thistle]

Yes, the thrift store

[covert cradle]

As a tab hoarder, vertical tabs + groups are goat'd. Try doing this with "normal" tabs lol

[hot tartan]

cause that's def old as balls

and 100% has major burn in

[warped burrow]

7 different homework tabs

[covert cradle]

hardware, not homework lol

[urban thistle]

The display you idiot there’s not an actual OLED there

[covert cradle]

they're groups too, dozens to 100+ tabs in each

[hot tartan]

ah looked like a box, probs thrown out and then someone took it home and eventually sold it

[warped burrow]

speaking of oled

if a monitor expires then it's a scam Oled is a scam because it expires

Lowk tuff

[urban thistle]

That makes no sense

Everything stops working at some point doesn’t mean it’s a scam

[warped burrow]

it's different for oleds

[tardy terrace]

im getting these rn

[urban thistle]

Hmm

[hot tartan]

me and my 4 OLED displays :(

[warped burrow]

for example other monitors will work if you take care of them meanwhile for oleds you buy them knowing they will 100% die and you have to do weird stuff like hiding your taskbar to prevent them (still won't work)

Why

[hot tartan]

monitor burn in really isn't an issue anymore

plenty of people with like 20k hours and negligible if no burn in

you can't make me hate OLED I am sorry

65" S90D, 42" LG C4, 27" MSI MAG271QPX, and then my 15.6" Laptop display are all awesome

then technically my phone as well but oh well

[torn kayak]

Hello!

[warped burrow]

phones don't stay long enough to get bunr in maybe except for the nav buttons

have fun doing office work on oled

[hot tartan]

I WFH on my laptop 😛 and no burn in yet

as well as school work

[vapid smelt]

Would be irresponsible not to

[vapid smelt]

https://www.techspot.com/article/3030-oled-burn-in-test/

[hot tartan]

grrrr faint line! Unusable! Scam!

[vapid smelt]

Phones get hot and heat can speed up burn in

[solemn goblet]

Just saw someone on their phone while driving

[harsh quartz]

It’s almost as if you don’t typically have OLED in office environments :p

[solemn goblet]

Texting and driving is dangerous people

Man, Apple really fucked up this latest iOS update. My phone is basically barely usable at this point.

Why does the keyboard have to take up so much space on the screen I have no idea what the hell they’re smoking in Cupertino

I’m going to have to call them tomorrow about this. It almost feels intentional for people using older devices to make it unusable.

Hi guys - looking for a second opinion here... I'm in the market to upgrade from my iPhone 12 Pro Max and was considering buying a 1 TB iPhone 17 Pro Max for $1600 from Apple, but recently saw a deal on Woot for a 1 TB iPhone 16 Pro Max for $1200 in Open Box condition.

Which do you recommend? Is the 17 Pro Max worth the extra $400?

[vapid smelt]

Isn't 1200 the same price as the base iPhone 17 pro regular

Nvm 1099

[verbal oracle]

1200 is the same as the base 17 pro max

Basically wanna know if the upgrades for the 17 are worth the $400 extra and what tradeoffs come

[winged spire]

Do you need 1tb?

That’s a fuck ton of storage for a phone

Base model is 256 now which is enough for me at least

I would say no it’s not worth an additional 400 either way

The cost of a ps5 for like 15% better specs

[obsidian horizon]

if you take too many pics then yeah

you need more storage

[alpine gale]

Really depends on the features / specs you need... The front camera in the 17 Pro Max offers more features if you do a lot of video calls / selfie video recording, the rear camera goes up to 8x optical zoom and can shoot ProRes RAW video, and the battery is a bit larger, otherwise the specs are very similar.
https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-12-pro-max,iphone-16-pro-max,iphone-17-pro-max

[full fossil]

i have a 15 pro, but idk if im getting the 17 pro, or just a base 17

[alpine gale]

If Woot.com were available where I live and I were in the market for an iPhone, I'd nab the last gen model if it were on enough of a discount. $400 off is some significant savings so...

[full fossil]

base 17 is pretty decent

[verbal oracle]

Yes

[full fossil]

why tf

[winged spire]

Now that you can record directly to an SSD I don’t see much reason to go past 512

[verbal oracle]

Take a lot of photo/video from travel

dont wanna deal with carrying around SSD

[winged spire]

I been thinking about picking up ine of those MagSafe ones

[verbal oracle]

Main features that are making me consider the 17 pro max are the better battery life, camera, and able to take long facetime calls/wireless charge without overheating

but some of those adverse effects might just be because of old ipone

[winged spire]

Well, it’s to be determined if apple fixed the overheating problem

[polar fern]

YouTube, AWS affected

[verbal oracle]

Yeah.. I fear the woot deal will sell out before reviews come out on Friday

[winged spire]

If anything there will likely be more

As the 17 releases people are going to be trading in their 16s

[verbal oracle]

This is an open box deal

[polar fern]

The new iPhones are useless garbage, I wouldn’t wait if you have a chance to buy one now

[winged spire]

[polar fern]

An older one, I mean

[vapid smelt]

☁️ use the cloud

[verbal oracle]

I am fine paying for 1 TB lol

[polar fern]

I think I have a 200 gig plan

[alpine gale]

That's not the point. What happens to all your photos / video if your phone no worky or gets stolen? Whatever you decide, ensure you backup files you cannot bear to lose or otherwise easily re-create / download again.

[vapid smelt]

Keep a thumb/USB drive on your keychain

[verbal oracle]

I usually keep my device for at least 4 years and don't wanna deal with the headache of low storage like I've been facing with my 256gb

[verbal oracle]

I use cloud but that's more as a backup since its cheap

[winged spire]

If you record directly to an SSD on the iPhone are you still able to upload it to iCloud?

Never thought about that

[verbal oracle]

On the day to day I like having quick access and flexibility to media

[obsidian horizon]

well then there is nothing to argue about

if you really wanna buy 1tb then do it

[vapid smelt]

We could argue about phones getting rid of SD card slots

[verbal oracle]

yeah lol idk why the subject of 1tb or 512 even came up. my question was just is the new one worth $400 more

[obsidian horizon]

headphone jack

[winged spire]

They should have used a better media format

[vapid smelt]

So they can charge us $400 for 1 TB of storage

[polar fern]

Getting rid of exterior ports and card slots make them more resistant to things like dust and water ingress

[obsidian horizon]

yeah but there are a lot more things

[winged spire]

well known real and true fact that the inventor of SD cards and micro SD cards was satan incarnate in disguise to make humanity suffer

[vapid smelt]

We have action cameras that have removable batteries and are waterproof

We also had phones with a removable batteries that had IP ratings

[alpine gale]

No problem, Sony has you covered here: "Introducing the new MemoryStickProPlusMaxXx™ - only compatible with the PSP 5000 version 6 revision Q"

[winged spire]

The doors on GoPros are no joke

[polar fern]

The storage in most phones is extremely durable. It’s not the same as the stuff that we have in desktops and laptops. I do agree that the pricing is a bit wild, but I can still access all the apps and everything full functionality on my iPhone from 2009.

[alpine gale]

Sony Xperia Z my beloved. Battery is "technically" non-removeable, but that's a lie. You could replace it, and it had a microSD card slot plus headphone jack. https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z-5204.php

[polar fern]

But some of them do have SIM cards slots, and they have little rubberized gaskets

[alpine gale]

I wish these were more readily available to buy outright off contract in my jurisdiction.

[obsidian horizon]

Apple tech wonders why my phone imploded

I do NOT trust the cases fully though… and at thst depth any water will definitely get inside

[alpine gale]

Not in Canada, but all good. I guess I could've bought one direct from Samsung, or from a cellular dealer.

[vapid smelt]

Oh I forgot you live in that small Canadian island

[winged spire]

lol

Rated to 130ft which is as much as the Apple Watch Ultra is rated for and they like to pretend that is a dive watch

[vapid smelt]

Damn that Samsung phone only has an LCD display

[winged spire]

I couldn’t go back to an LCD phone

[vapid smelt]

But has an SD card slot and a removable battery. It was almost perfect

[winged spire]

SD cards have single handedly taken years off my lifespan

They are easily the most fail prone storage format

And when they fail they fail hard

[vapid smelt]

Not the macro plastics from your printers

[winged spire]

My high end Samsung micro SD card lasted for 5 plug in and removals before deciding it wanted to generate heat instead of store data

680$ to get someone to LOOK at it

Mfw

[vapid smelt]

... what

[winged spire]

To repair it

[vapid smelt]

For data recovery

[winged spire]

Yeah

680$ in the door “probably more” once they get it in and inspect it

Eu needs to require all cameras to at least ALLOW you to record directly to an external drive

It’s 2025 microSD shouldn’t be the only way to use a 3000$ camera

They’re way way way too fragile and camera manufacturers have started doing stupid shit like having 2 separate redundant SD card slots so when one of them inevitably fails you don’t lose your data

[vapid smelt]

The tool is only twice as much

[winged spire]

That’s only for like data corruption huh

Right?

Not if the card physically failed

We offered data recovery with geek squad

[vapid smelt]

https://www.deepspar.com/usb-stabilizer yeah recovery for "unstable and degraded storage "

[winged spire]

Literally never seen a single person do it

That might just be because my store was In the hood but

Literally not a single customer actually opted in once we told them the costs 😭

[winged spire]

Then why the fuck did they want more than 700$

😐

Glad i didn’t pay I guess

[vapid smelt]

Because you're desperate 😂 just like tow trucks

[winged spire]

Brother

My brother in Christ

Bro gonna make me crash out

[vapid smelt]

Is James enjoying your new AC?

[winged spire]

He’s being kinda strange

He’s always been.. Odd so I might just forget how he acted lol

Haven’t actually lived with him for like 18 months ignoring visits and stuff

I think he might be super bored here but I have no clue

He’s got plenty of large windows to look at and I just gave him a few toys (although he never really did care much for toys) so I’ll see if anything changes

I very well could just be overthinking a lazy cat lol

[vapid smelt]

is it business related important document? pay me 2k

[winged spire]

Actually

Now that I think about what’s on that sd card

There’s definitely ITAR stuff on it lol

[split swift]

consume toast or die trying 🤤

[winged spire]

I’d have to make sure it gets all processed in America

I do not need to be accidentally breaking proliferation restrictions 💀

When I got searched at the Canadian boarder on the way in I definitely think they made a copy of my SD cards in my camera

They were being weird as hell about my 35mm film camera and my Nikon p900 lol they asked me “why don’t you just use your phone”

[vapid smelt]

Fair question

[split swift]

when ppl get arrested, the cops should just play truth or dare, if they say dare, the cops dare the criminal to tell the truth. 100% success rate

0% fail

[winged spire]

The p900 has a 2000mm equivalent zoom and the 35mm film camera is a 35mm film camera

They just arbitrarily decided to search my car and then Harass me about my cameras 😭

[vapid smelt]

It's a code to bully Tesla drivers

[winged spire]

I was surprised they searched my frunk

[vapid smelt]

I refuse to let Tesla drivers merge in front of me

[winged spire]

I got searched going INTO (????) Mexico one time and they didn’t check the frunk lol

[vapid smelt]

Making sure your not being in any guns

[winged spire]

Except for the ones that fit in my frunk I guess

[winged spire]

Did I show you the spaceX cocaine they found lol

[vapid smelt]

What?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/pilot-crash-brazil-plane-cocaine-spacex-b2827594.html ...what

[winged spire]

A plane crashed with a fuck ton of spaceX brand cocaine lmao

Pilot was Australian

[vapid smelt]

Who the fuck spent the time to print out SpaceX and attach it to all the packages

[winged spire]

Yeah very strange

[vapid smelt]

I get putting it on a few haha Very funny but every single one

[waxen zodiac]

genuinely thought I was hallucinating or something lmao

[winged spire]

It gets you launched I guess

[vapid smelt]

Yes officer this isn't cocaine. It's a heat shielding for um space X rocket

[winged spire]

Real

[waxen zodiac]

its my "rocket fuel"

[winged spire]

That’s where the white came from on the last landing

[vapid smelt]

Weird looking whale jumping out the water

[winged spire]

None of the police in that photo look happy

[vapid smelt]

I bet it's because of paperwork

[winged spire]

They got the dream drug bust, pilot crashed and died so there’s no danger they literally just had to walk up and take the bricks out

[vapid smelt]

And contact Australia probably

[winged spire]

You could probably get away with slacking off for like a month or 2 after a drug bust that big

[winged spire]

I wonder who the guy was

Bro got catfished by those fake Elon twitter accounts into smuggling drugs across the world 😭

[waxen zodiac]

they missed out on the opportunity to brand it as space dust

[winged spire]

Tail number ZU IXM I think

Uh

Is that the same plane

Yeah I think so

[vapid smelt]

180kg in that?

[winged spire]

The crash report will be interesting

That’s a nice ass plane too

Wait

It might have had a parachute system? How did bro crash

[winged spire]

Max useful load of 430kg

So I guess that includes fuel and pilot

[vapid smelt]

Wonder how big the pilot was

Maybe that's why it crashed and he couldn't get out with a parachute

[winged spire]

Whole plane comes down with a parachute

[vapid smelt]

Oh

[winged spire]

https://youtu.be/z56IWgRmDho

[vapid smelt]

It is a self-made kit. Maybe he failed to do that

[winged spire]

Why is that a YouTube video

I copied an image on the website and apparently it was embedded from a YouTube link lol

[winged spire]

I really wanna do a kit plane 😭

Zeniths are so sick

[warped burrow]

What search engine do yall use

[winged spire]

Plane was registered in SA

[warped burrow]

I myself use brave search

[winged spire]

Elon was flying the plane

[obsidian horizon]

poor pilot

[obsidian horizon]

wish he were

[idle nymph]

elon's personal work supplies

[winged spire]

Reading more on it

The South African registration might be fake

I’ve seen mention that it was actually registered in Zambia and not South Africa

Either fake or cloned from a different plane

He was a normal businessman it seems like(?) How did bro get into drug smuggling

46 year old Australian finance major and business owner turned large scale drug smuggler 🤨

[vapid smelt]

Maybe he got a cancer diagnosis

This new graphical interface that they rolled out with the new iOS version. It’s so garbage I can’t even believe they have the nerve to release it.

Why the fuck is 20 something percent of the screen taken up by the browser interface

Why is there a huge giant gap at the bottom of the screen with nothing there and giant huge buttons?!

and why does the address bar have a tiny little bit of text with huge gaps?!

Almost unusable

The entire graphic interface all the buttons everything are huge and oversized. It’s a fucking ridiculous.

You see the bookmark and the new tab and share icons. They were previously in the bar at the very bottom without any square around them in addition to the actual icon buttons.

I’m just gonna have to get another iPhone SE third generation at this point because all of the newer phones suck cheeks

But of course, as the smaller screen, so the giant bloated interface takes up more room on the screen

[rich mortar]

I'm trying to find a WAN show episode where they had a topic about some company no longer selling "AI", but has gone back to calling it Machine learning algorithms to make it more palatable for safetyconcerned companies.. Does anyone remember which one?

[wispy marsh]

TIL a 2400cc toyota is 226k USD before taxes and parking and fuel and insurance and maintenance and stuff

[gritty echo]

guys quick issue, with my headset, when i try to adjust volume either by headset slider or keyboard FN keys, it is absurdly delayed

doesnt happen without my G515 connected

[wispy marsh]

Looks ok to me

[gritty echo]

like it detects the press immediately, it just doesnt change it for a bit and then boom goes slowly to 0

[abstract nimbus]

Does that G515 use any kind of software perhaps?
If yes, did you ever try doing this without it being installed?

[gritty echo]

yeah well its logitech

but like i dont need the software installed to work

[abstract nimbus]

Yeah, that wasn't the question though

[gritty echo]

i didnt

[abstract nimbus]

Software can make this delayed for a shit ton of reasons

[gritty echo]

but im not uninstalling the software

[abstract nimbus]

how about uninstalling to test and then reinstalling?

[gritty echo]

yeah and if it works fine then

or well, if it doesnt

[abstract nimbus]

better to test, than not right?

[gritty echo]

its just pointless work icl

ima need to install it again anyways

[abstract nimbus]

Well what if the problem is suddenly gone because the Softwares driver doesn't fuck with the sound anymore too much after reinstalling

[gritty echo]

i reinstalled ghub yesterday, had the problem before and still do

[abstract nimbus]

I know some other great Corsair tool known as ICUE which would in general mess with everything it ever touched kekw

[gritty echo]

if that changes something

[abstract nimbus]

You could possibly reinstall your Sound Drivers -- eg. Realtek Drivers or whatever chip is being used by your PC / Laptop

[gritty echo]

theyre brand new drivers

also this audio issue also happens if i use it on other devices

that should be a lot of help

with the integrated volume thing

[abstract nimbus]

then its a Logitech issue as simple as that

either a Logitech or a Windows Handler one

does this issue appear on Linux or the likes?

[gritty echo]

same issue on ios and ipados so il contact logitech

[abstract nimbus]

Yeah then for sure Logitech

[gritty echo]

you reckon its defective or

"expected" behaviour

[abstract nimbus]

Could be defective or possibly expected behaviour, god knows what Logitech did there

[keen cedar]

Morning

[abstract nimbus]

had no G515 yet, so i wouldnt know

[gritty echo]

logitech support such a pain they beg you to use their stupid ai bot

[abstract nimbus]

morning

Hello guys, im trying to connect my switch pro controller to my pc but it doesnt work. My pc just doesnt detect the controller. I tried it with my laptop and it worked fine. Already tried different cables and usb ports. Do you guys have any ideas how to fix it? Both pcs are using windows 11 with the latest updates.

[oak pier]

enable it in steam controller options

[slender lark]

im not on sumsang

[hidden nebula]

hey guys. is a ryzen 3 3300g 16 gig 3200 mgz a good upgrade to am4 from an i5 3470 8 gig 1333 mgz?

[still yacht]

Yes

[hidden nebula]

well that was fast

[still yacht]

Sorry when i read first wrong understand

[hidden nebula]

oh ok i understand

[oak pier]

there's no such thing as a 3300g

[still yacht]

But this cpu are old

[hidden nebula]

ryzen 3 3200g sorry typo

[hidden nebula]

ive been running ultra budget stuff old ahh components my entire life im fine I'm getting that cpu because its cheap and i found one for only 5.5k

[still yacht]

If you like it and needs to, why not.

But you have to change motherboard

[hidden nebula]

its am4 il upgrade down the line to a 5600

[hidden nebula]

yea i have to do that. kinda the point though im thinking of this upgrade because my motherboard cooked itself for the second time and the thing is chronically slow

[void ridge]

wouldnt that be around the iphone 11 era then?

[slender lark]

i have some cheap motorola that barely worked when it was new

[still yacht]

Than if you can’t buy newest cpu than its good for the replace with amd

[hidden nebula]

yea thats why i chose am4 its just a good platform to be on with lots of future proofing

[still yacht]

What are you job, for what using?

[hidden nebula]

rn i use it for occasional gaming but i mostly use it for programming and i will run ai on it in the future and robotic stuff

[still yacht]

Oh if you don’t play game then i suggest to buy mac mini.

[fossil frost]

but that will cost considerably more than what they are suggesting for themselves

[still yacht]

I think Mac mini prices not expensive

[hidden nebula]

no. il always use windows and i DO GAME ON PC and also its way too expencive

[hidden nebula]

in my country(india)that thing costs a kidney

[fossil frost]

in a vacuum, yes, they are cheap for what they are, but compared to what OP was suggesting, they will cost at least twice as much

[still yacht]

Then if you play game the don’t buy mac

[still yacht]

My countery has most expensive price than other countries.

Top of list

[hidden nebula]

but rn i have an rx 6400 and il upgrade to a 3060 when i need to train ai's

[oak pier]

training time of 3-4 years lol

[civic fox]

if you like waiting then a 3060 is good, as ai will take awhile to load anything.

[hidden nebula]

well our salaries dont match the price so its way too bloody expensive even for very rich individuals

[fossil frost]

unless you are training the weakest of the weak models, a 3060 isnt gonna do much more than a rx6400.. you are talking about the difference between 1000s of hours and a different number of 1000s of hours

[hidden nebula]

haha true

[still yacht]

The pc your choose is not enough for your.

[hidden nebula]

well cuting the time from decades to weeks seems plenty good to me

[still yacht]

While choosing video cart, then you have to look vram memory.

[hidden nebula]

il upgrade down the line when it comes to it or just wait weeks on weeks for training ai

[civic fox]

more like decades to 5 years

[fossil frost]

it wont... it will cut it from 8,000 hours to 7000 hours... thats the sort of minimal difference on those cards

[hidden nebula]

doesnt the 3060 have 12 gig vram

[winged spire]

🤤

The best tiled ship to date

[still yacht]

That’s looks great

[fossil frost]

some do yes, but training models takes 100s or 1000s of GBs of vram, and many 10s or 100s of cards

[winged spire]

They completely scrapped the concept of metallic tiles after last flight lmao

[civic fox]

some cards yes, but it is not good at ai thats for sure, that vram is quite slow.

for ai anyway

[still yacht]

But doesn’t enough

[hidden nebula]

im not training gbt 5 on this thing at most it will just be ai for a robotic arm

[fossil frost]

so rather than basic chatbot models, you want to train a model with multiple different degrees of freedom with multiple different safety features, multiple different ways it can act? you are gonna need more than a 3060

[winged spire]

do you mean training or hosting

do you just want to run an LLM

[fossil frost]

hosting an existing model will be fine on a 3060... training your own model in the first place, not doing that on a 3060

[winged spire]

oh bruh

he wants to use an LLM to control an arm?

[fossil frost]

honestly, i dont think they know what they want, or what they are trying to do

they might... but thats just the impression i get

[hidden nebula]

what do you think i am? a software developer for openai or boston dynamics?

[winged spire]

You would first need to make an arm that can be teleoperated

so start with that first

[fossil frost]

honestly? neiter

[still yacht]

And you don’t have money?

[winged spire]

you cant control an arm with an LLM if the arm does not exist or cannot be controlled so make it exist and tele operatable first

[hidden nebula]

well its cool ok? and its a nice flex and every desi parent will comepare their kids to me

[fossil frost]

remote operation, and then integrate ROS, and then take advantage of all the AI that other people who are building for ROS

[fossil frost]

if you are actually looking into robotics... look at https://www.ros.org/

or read about inverse kinematics

[hidden nebula]

and i think it breaks like 3 world records for my age range

[winged spire]

definitely not

i suppose sarcasm doesnt work on you... "free workers"... as in "free to work the only job that is available, and because its the only thing on offer, the company can pay you fuck all"...

[obsidian horizon]

reason of increase in population hence unemployment

[obsidian horizon]

ah free in that way

New moving vlogs are FP/member exclusives, booooooo

[split swift]

haha

you might see it in like 2 days

[oak pier]

nah has the FP symbol, it's an exclusive

[young prairie]

Moving vlogs we’re the single best thing about LTT in years past but I doubt these will make it onto the main channel

[oak pier]

If it's a video FP just gets early, it has the standard card, if it's an FP exclusive, it has the FP in the top left

[split swift]

its a 30 min ltt video, it will most likely drop in 2 days for normal ppl

that or they have a different moving video getting prepared

[winged spire]

static fire soon™

[split swift]

huh?

[plush grotto]

Please go boom

[split swift]

why

thats an awful thing to wish for

[plush grotto]

It's cool

[split swift]

no, its a waste of resources if it blows up

You can't argue that a big fire ball isn't cool.

honestly that would be pretty cool to witness.

its very cringe

[civic fox]

you can only keep explosive material contained for so long i guess.

[winged spire]

superheavy blowing up is cool but from like 40nm away you might as well watch the stream

gonna rent a boat one of these times

anything in international waters is free game

gonna get me a raptor engine

actually that would be a good idea

free stuff

[plush grotto]

Falcon9 launches are boring now.

Since they are so nailed down.

[civic fox]

imagine if they made old planes and stuff remote control, so you could just fly a plane, but also get to crash one at the end.

maybe thats a bit much but its an idea

[viscid elm]

literally one of the reasons NASA kinda died off

[slender lark]

would be fun to crash a actual plane

[loud sedge]

@winged spire i guess the codex isnt allowed lol

[civic fox]

in a controlled environment yes, i would love to do that.

slow mo plane crash

[plush grotto]

There is like 2 or 3 companies that is actually worth investing in.

[loud sedge]

3 more days and i get my college results

[winged spire]

NASA need to kill their launch programs once a real SLS competitor comes online

Massive waste of money

[viscid elm]

wat

[winged spire]

There’s no reason for nasa to develop their own launch platforms

There’s good reason nasa loves spaceX, they save BILLIONS with them

They need to be focusing their efforts on things that aren’t profitable like research craft

[viscid elm]

eh if it allows them to move resources over to other programs then yea could be better but if spaceX is the only one in the US what is stopping them from upping the price

[winged spire]

SpaceX isn’t the only one in the US

[viscid elm]

they are the biggest

[winged spire]

Yes, they do more than the rest of the world combined

[viscid elm]

yeeeaaa

[winged spire]

Likely more mass to orbit then everyone else combined since the first ever rocket

What a deeply ignorant and frankly insane take

[obsidian horizon]

you'r paying tax to give criminals free food and shelter in prisons

[winged spire]

Correct?

[obsidian horizon]

yes

[winged spire]

I’m paying for roads and schools I don’t use either bud

That’s what taxes are and how they work

[obsidian horizon]

you dont use road?

[winged spire]

Not every road all the time, no

[obsidian horizon]

do you fly by helicopter or just stay at home?

[winged spire]

You don’t pay for only the roads you use

[obsidian horizon]

yeah i know that

[viscid elm]

you rather want them to walk free?

[obsidian horizon]

no

[winged spire]

No he wants them to be slaves

[obsidian horizon]

when did i say that?

[viscid elm]

they already kinda are

[obsidian horizon]

some criminals deserve to suffer

[winged spire]

Nd it’s not a good thing

[obsidian horizon]

they arent in prison for doing great things as well

[winged spire]

You are a deeply unwell human being

[viscid elm]

even the people who got caught with weed many years ago?

[viscid elm]

like being unable to pay some stuff like taxes?

[obsidian horizon]

🤔well i dont think that kind of criminals deserve so much suffering

[viscid elm]

but you do not want to feed or house him with your taxes so what should they do with them

[obsidian horizon]

well i meant not all of them but some of them that commit worst ever crimes

[viscid elm]

what if they got framed or they just got the wrong person?

[winged spire]

He only wants his taxes to be used to exasperate human suffering

[obsidian horizon]

thats on government

[winged spire]

Very very unwell

[viscid elm]

there is a reason any good country no longer has the death penalty

[winged spire]

?????

[viscid elm]

what

[obsidian horizon]

i mean your point is right

[solemn goblet]

I think criminals should be put to prison but be supported as much as possible

Society is still safe if they are locked up away from them

[viscid elm]

aka norway

[solemn goblet]

That’s the primary goal of prison, to keep the public safe

[viscid elm]

the Norway system is more of forced rehab without being able to leave

[obsidian horizon]

but if someone is being imprisoned mistakenly, they dont deserve that as well

[solemn goblet]

Yeah

[viscid elm]

but in your system they would be slaves

[solemn goblet]

The justice system isn’t perfect

[obsidian horizon]

there needs to be done soemthing to reduce crime

thats what i mean

holy typos

[viscid elm]

yea more money into prisons

[obsidian horizon]

how

how will that help?

[viscid elm]

rehab instead of locking people up

[solemn goblet]

We also need better mental healthcare in this country

[viscid elm]

resources to help integrate people into society

[viscid elm]

people go to prison for healthcare

[obsidian horizon]

yeah i have thought about it but yk that wont stop someone from commiting a crime

[viscid elm]

and thus why we have prisons?

[plush grotto]

The problem with the American prison system is the fact that it's privatised.

[obsidian horizon]

many people seem to not take prisons seriously

[viscid elm]

what????

[obsidian horizon]

something to be done that people think before commiting crime

[viscid elm]

huh

[obsidian horizon]

nice house

[viscid elm]

the worst person alive in Norway right now was mad he only got a ps3

[obsidian horizon]

bro

[plush grotto]

That is a norwegian prison cell

[obsidian horizon]

luxurious asf

[solemn goblet]

Private prisons should be abolished imo

[viscid elm]

yup

[solemn goblet]

I don’t like the idea of making money by imprisoning people

[viscid elm]

it costs a shit ton but we have such a low reoffending rate that we can manage it

[plush grotto]

Still a prison cell

[winged spire]

Costs a hell of a lot less than America

[obsidian horizon]

a prisoner looking healthier than normal person

[winged spire]

????

[viscid elm]

what even is a normal person

[winged spire]

You don’t think prisoners should be healthy?

This guy clearly doesn’t consider prisoners to be people

[obsidian horizon]

bro

[winged spire]

No

[viscid elm]

i really wanna see what he would say if he ever got wrongly convicted of a horrible crime

[winged spire]

I hope to god this dude is like 11 years old because if this is the ideas coming out of a fully formed brain we might be doomed

[obsidian horizon]

🤔

[plush grotto]

Cell from a female prison.

[winged spire]

It’s almost like prisons work a lot better when they’re about rehabilitation and not punishment

Because punishment objectively doesn’t work

[plush grotto]

And this is from one of our high risk prisons.

[viscid elm]

up to what level you are in its fully possible to just be halfway free

[plush grotto]

Outside it looks like a prison tho.

[oak pier]

Systems like this objectively work better to reduce crime

[viscid elm]

o yea now talk about how long they need to stay there

[oak pier]

The US has one of the highest recidivism rates in the world

[plush grotto]

I believe this is where Breivik is held

[viscid elm]

the area the prisoners can see from inside also is designed to not make it look like you are not in a prison

[viscid elm]

ofc for HORRIBLE HORRIBLE people its not that nice

do you know if he got his ps4

[loud sedge]

or ps5

[obsidian horizon]

or ps5pro?

[loud sedge]

or pc

[obsidian horizon]

nah

they need to apply limitations for that

a lot

[winged spire]

People don’t commit crimes for no reason

[plush grotto]

This was his room some years ago

[winged spire]

And It’s almost like beating someone doesn’t take away those reasons

You know what would take those reasons to commit crimes away?

[obsidian horizon]

beating makes things worse

[winged spire]

Take a guess @obsidian horizon

[obsidian horizon]

what

[winged spire]

What would take away the reasons to commit crimes

[obsidian horizon]

what?

[spice flax]

breivik lowkey should've been hanged publicly

[obsidian horizon]

i want you to tell me

[viscid elm]

i swear it was ps3 he had

[winged spire]

Bob has reason to commit crimes

[obsidian horizon]

who the hell is bob

[winged spire]

Jesus Christ

[viscid elm]

it would only make us as bad as he is

[spice flax]

no it doesnt

[obsidian horizon]

idk bob bro 😭 not my fault

[viscid elm]

a life is still a life

[winged spire]

Quite the specimen 💀

[loud sedge]

i meant them transparent prison laptop

[spice flax]

he took 77 lives so by that logic he should be killed 77 times

[plush grotto]

I remember some statistics where Norway was on the top due to Utøya.

[viscid elm]

if we go by that logic anyone accused of murder should be killed

[winged spire]

Prisoner A has a reason to commit crimes

What actions would help remove those reasons

@obsidian horizon

[winged spire]

So murder is only bad if a civilian does it?

[oak pier]

Depends on the reason

[spice flax]

he wasnt accused he was sentenced with forensic evidence there is literally no way for him to be innocent

[oak pier]

Often times crimes occur due to economic instability and factors that stem from that

[viscid elm]

"forensic evidence"

[winged spire]

His options are

Punish prisoner A
Or
Rehabilitate prisoner A

[viscid elm]

but yea no we know he did it

[spice flax]

war and civilian life go by different rules because if you go to war you know what you signed up to

[plush grotto]

He impersonated police under the cover of protecting due to a potential threat.

[winged spire]

Nobody is talking about war bro

[spice flax]

then what are you talking about

[plush grotto]

Specifically crimes

[oak pier]

Neither work to prevent crime, that’s why there needs to be systems in place to help deal with economic instability, among other things

[plush grotto]

Not war crimes

[winged spire]

You don’t think rehabilitation helps prevent crime? What

[oak pier]

but if the crime has already occurred, rehabilitation helps prevent them from committing crimes again

[spice flax]

breivik is beyond rehabilitation

[viscid elm]

UBI UBI UBI

[oak pier]

It helps prevent repeat offenders

[oak pier]

YES!

[plush grotto]

Yea, that I will agree on.

[winged spire]

There we go

[oak pier]

a UBI would genuinely solve most of the world’s biggest problems

[viscid elm]

helps

[winged spire]

I know for a fact you are not qualified to make that decision lmao

[spice flax]

i know for a fact breivik killed 77 people, mostly teenagers and doesnt see it as something inherently wrong

[winged spire]

Killing 77 people isnt inherently wrong, he’s correct

[viscid elm]

we have not killed anyone due to their crimes since 1948

[keen mural]

gotta keep them happy

[winged spire]

There are plenty of justifications to kill people, namely self defense

[oak pier]

Or if the death of one person will save the lives of others

[winged spire]

Obviously going and butchering 77 random people for no reason is bad

[viscid elm]

the issue there is the people who use that even when there was shown to not be self defense

well they only know it was after

[plush grotto]

Butchering would be the wrong terminology.

[winged spire]

Bro

[plush grotto]

HEY! There is a difference.

[winged spire]

🐸

Last I checked slavery is a crime so I guess we are sending @obsidian horizon to the mines for the rest of his life

[obsidian horizon]

ah

[dusky jacinth]

"Welp, that happened."

[oak pier]

depends on the country

[plush grotto]

Then we are sending @winged spire to the mines for the crime of slavery.

[winged spire]

Obviously dude

[oak pier]

Slavery isn’t actually entirely criminalized in the US

[winged spire]

😭😭😭😭

[oak pier]

Only criminalized if the person isn’t convicted of a crime

[viscid elm]

i watched a youtube case repport thingy on youtube about a mass shooting

look at this pistol

[obsidian horizon]

depends on the reaaon but yeah mostly by getting their mind off from the reason they want to commit crime for.

[viscid elm]

what??

[plush grotto]

[obsidian horizon]

🤔😭

[winged spire]

And how would you do that

[obsidian horizon]

that idk

[winged spire]

Rehabilitation perhaps?

[plush grotto]

I'm sorry, I'm too employed to follow this conversation properly, are we arguing about rehab?

[viscid elm]

looks like it

[winged spire]

Hycerian doesn’t believe in rehabilitation and I’ve been trying to simplify it down to show that he apparently does support rehabilitation when you describe it without actually using the word

[viscid elm]

well

he is trying to say he does but badly

[winged spire]

It’s funny, it’s illegal to put a stock on this

Because that’s got a brace, not a stock

[plush grotto]

@viscid elm when was the last time you saw a gun irl?

[viscid elm]

cant remember but probs on a police officer here many many years ago

[winged spire]

Do yall just not have any invasive species?

[viscid elm]

maybe not even

[viscid elm]

wat

[plush grotto]

Yea, for me it would be during one of the HV exercises.

[winged spire]

Louisiana requires hunters and guns to control the hog populations

Among others

Government pays us for nutria tails

[viscid elm]

do they go straight into the city?

[winged spire]

Pretty good sidehussle ngl

[winged spire]

If not maintained then yeah

They also fuck up farmland really bad

A small group of hogs can destroy whole fields in just a couple days

[viscid elm]

ofc Norway allows hunting guns but the laws are so strict and the rifles too there aint many cases of those being used against people

[plush grotto]

This would probably be the last time i saw guns irl,

[winged spire]

Holy shit

Bro is a fucking unit 😭

[winged spire]

Is this Netherlands

[plush grotto]

This is from a week long exercise.

Norway.
