Our award-winning billboards have been REJECTED…😱

We had one simple message: give kids a #CommercialBreak. But even this proved too much for ad giants. A bit ironic when big food companies like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, and Cadbury are allowed to plaster our streets with ads. 🙄

To our young people, this feels like censorship. But it’s...

anyone know why my laptop just goes striaght to 58 celsius every time i game

[pastel marsh]

58c isnt a lot

but its because laptops have extremely small cooling solutions

[wary bay]

cant even play marvel rivals

[pastel marsh]

thats not because its at 58c

[wary bay]

i gets from 58-70 before the game ends

i get thermal throttled

[pastel marsh]

neither of those are temperatures you thermal throttle at

my full fat desktop with a 360 aio games warmer than 60c

its not thermal throtlting

[wary bay]

gpu at 70c is not thermal throttling

[pastel marsh]

no

[wary bay]

i got a 4050

maybe i need more ram

[pastel marsh]

is your cpu thermal throttling?

[wary bay]

cant tell its integrated

i7 13700h

[pastel marsh]

83C is the general "oh no" limit for nvidia gpus, past that theyre not using the GPU boost 3 tech

but on a laptop thats ok cause of afformentioned issues

[pastel marsh]

what does this even mean

the gpu is integrated the same way your cpu is and youre telling me its temp

how are you reading the temp of the gpu?

[wary bay]

integrated graphics and cpu

it doesnt show up

task mangager

[pastel marsh]

download hwinfo64 or somethin

[pastel marsh]

close that, open it again, launch it "sensors only"

there you can monitor your CPU package temperature and your GPU core temp

if your CPU is at 100c and like 2ghz clock speed that is probably your issue

[wary bay]

this is with like 3 tabs open

[pastel marsh]

what is the temperature

[pastel marsh]

youre not in a game the cpu doesnt need to be doing anything

[wary bay]

what is package ring

[pastel marsh]

what are you concerned about instead of just showing me images

ring is the cache, seemingly random (it happens even on my machine), ignore it

[wary bay]

when i launch somthing like marvel rivals i get jittery

once i get to like quater game

like it lags so bad

[pastel marsh]

then yeah its probably your cpu thermal throttling

[wary bay]

clean it?

havent touched it for 2 years

[pastel marsh]

leave hwinfo open, it logs stuff for you, after a match or after it crashes/slows down, itll show you max/avg temps in hwinfo

[pastel marsh]

repaste it with ptm from a real source

[wary bay]

and upgrade ram?

i only have 16gb

should i go 32gb ram

[pastel marsh]

i mean do whatever you want on that front

[winged spire]

This is neat, EV charger in the curb

[harsh quartz]

if only there was a way to park where the charging port was closer

[graceful mortar]

This would never work in America because America insists on being different... They should have just adopted what Europe was doing with the detachable cables that way the owners responsible for the cable.

[winged spire]

I havent seen any l1 chargers like this that have a cable built in

[round bridge]

If only

[round bridge]

Cables r expensive

Muy copper

[winged spire]

On higher powered ones yeah but those are basically just an extension cord

200-400 depending on what specific manufacturer you have

If you were doing 500kW yeah… fuck that I’m not paying for my own cable lol

G5 solar storm predicted

[round bridge]

Ok

What’s an euhforia

[graceful mortar]

Exactly one of the big justifications for no more rollout is the risk of cable theft even though they don't actually contain enough copper to be worthy of stealing.

[winged spire]

Solar weather forecast model

[graceful mortar]

Because in the US we don't have charger side detachability.... So every charge that's installed, regardless of power output has to have a built-in cable 🤦

[winged spire]

Which company is doing L1 chargers without detachable cables?

[graceful mortar]

L1? Here we don't do L1 public charging. 120v Soo what 1.2kw... PLUS losses

[winged spire]

Or even L2

[winged spire]

That photo is L1

The curb charger

[graceful mortar]

Like the home chargers? They come with built in cables, and then they have commercial versions of those

[winged spire]

No

Not home charger

[graceful mortar]

We don't do that here. Flo has some in New York on light poles and they are all level 2.

Let me see if I can find a picture

[winged spire]

Never mind

[graceful mortar]

Yeah, we don't have public level One charging here because it's so slow it doesn't make any sense. Hell it doesn't even make sense at your own home... if you can't install a level two don't buy an EV here.

And then of course we have level three with like Tesla superchargers and whatnot

Oh the tesla destination charger that's a perfect example of level 2!

[graceful mortar]

Because level One charging at max power here is going to get to approximately one mile per hour. But real world its .5 per hour. That's what happens when you're limited to 12A at 120 volts.

I tried it with my model Y and it just wasn't useful I had to visit the supercharger every 3 days.

[covert cradle]

Damn, I had no idea the model Y was that inefficient. Most EVs get at least 2mi/hr

[winged spire]

That literally entirely depends on the charging speed lol

It’s not magic

[covert cradle]

Was it really not obvious this was in reply to a comment about level 1 charging?

[winged spire]

L1 charging isn’t a set speed

Is that not obvious?

[covert cradle]

They literally specified an amperage and voltage. Are you obtuse on purpose to make an argument of everything?

[winged spire]

Nonsense statements get nonsense replies

[covert cradle]

Ok got it, so you really are just like that on purpose. Fascinating

[winged spire]

Calm down dude

[winged spire]

These destination chargers always suck

There’s a place near me that charges 80 cents per kWh lmao

That’s criminal

Apparently you can charge by the kWh AND by the time too, but I haven’t seen that thankfully

[graceful mortar]

It just depends on where you live. Here the preheat pump model 3 actually do BETTER on efficiency... And the cabins are about 10° cooler at the same set temperature.

[covert cradle]

Oh I realize what happened now. I said something you perceived as bad about Tesla and that triggered you. Just fyi, it was a tongue in cheek remark. I know that Tesla L1 charging is actually quite a lot better than 0.5mi/hr

[winged spire]

Did you have a bad day today?

You should get an ice cream or smth

[graceful mortar]

The destination charges are usually free, I like the tesla ones that run on 277 😈. It's almost like bad dcfc

[winged spire]

I wish

Now that they’re “selling” supercharging stations to companies I really wonder what that’s gonna do to network pricing

Leasing the hardware but the business owner gets all the profit

I can’t imagine that makes it go down

[graceful mortar]

Well it's 1.25 KW per hour into the charger. Then you have the losses in the charger and then additional losses as the vehicle converts it in order to charge the battery pack. It's 1 mile per hour on level 1 charging. 455wh/mi is the consumption here in the highway. Best I've seen is 397wh/mi ... I was expecting 318 like advertised 🫤

[winged spire]

400wh/mi?? holy

I only get upto that when I drive like a dumbass

Model 3

[graceful mortar]

Yeah I bought my Tesla in January of 2024... By May of 2024 the DC fast charge rate had gone .09-.18 ... To .38 ... If that would have been gasoline that saw that percentage jump there would have been riots on the streets!

[graceful mortar]

On cruise model Y

[fossil frost]

the superchargers run by not-tesla in the uk, cost more per mile than petrol or diesel.. charging at home costs about 1/10th that petrol costs here, charging at the supermarket on a 22kw charger, costs about half of petrol. but those high speed 20 minute motorway chargers... are fucking insane for their price

[winged spire]

If I drive to absolutely min max efficiency I can do like ….280

[graceful mortar]

The model 3 is substantially less frontal area! That was something that when I was asking owners nobody bothered to talk about...

Also they were giving BS range numbers that assumed 50 mph cruising speed which is our city street speed so..... No ...

[winged spire]

I was getting like 250 in Canada and I was trying to figure out why

Their highway speeds are literally 20mph slower than ours lol

[graceful mortar]

Let me see if I can share the highway tests. This was a flat loop so we're not doing mountains or anything.

[winged spire]

Yeah we got quite a few networks all with different pricing

And even like pricing based on time

[graceful mortar]

Here was some testing

[winged spire]

non Tesla EVs pay so much to charge at Tesla superchargers

[fossil frost]

i have a very heavy right foot... i ALWAYS get the lower end of the range 🙂

[winged spire]

Like 60+ cents per kWh

Rivian use to charge based on time instead of power usage which is stupid as fuck

AFAIK they just recently changed it

[winged spire]

Yeah same

And I keep my AC cranked

105 outside 65 inside

[fossil frost]

the 88kw chargers are around £1/kwh (thats around $1.32 usd)

[graceful mortar]

Lifetime is on the trip too.

[winged spire]

WHAT

1.32 per kWh hour for 88kw chwrgers????

That’s fucking insane bruh

[graceful mortar]

Headphone users beware 💀

[winged spire]

250kw stalls here rarely go above 50 cents for basically any network

[fossil frost]

fuel is super expensive, when you have a HUGE oil field, and lots of HUGE wind farms, and several nuclear power plants... but for some reason, export all that to france... and then buy other energy back in for ourselves

[graceful mortar]

Sorry I was just going through pictures and stuff 🤣

[fossil frost]

properly arse-backward energy system in the uk

[graceful mortar]

One thing you will notice is look how much more efficient the model 3 is versus the model Y at highway speed and the model 3 was going faster!!

[winged spire]

Thankfully this has been changed afaik

Charging by time is insane

[winged spire]

Our national average for residential power is like.. 11 cents

[graceful mortar]

But yeah, I actually liked the car. I thought that it needed more in the Dynamics department I mean I still think that with the new model 3 performance it really does need independent rear motors... But I like the car.

What I didn't like is I bought the Tesla over the cheap bolt which to be clear as a third of the cost because I wanted to be able to do trips on EV not diesel... The problem is is as you can see you're looking at 150 miles if you're lucky between charge stops...

[winged spire]

So it’s way way way cheaper than gasoline even when your gasoline is 2$ per gallon like it is here

[graceful mortar]

Considering the first charger outside of the metro area Phoenix is 150 mi away you could imagine my shock as I pulled in at 1% (bear in mind I top charged to a full 100% at a supercharger) and realized oh my God this could be a problem cuz this is a brand new battery what happens when there's degration.. so I literally could not take it anywhere which ruined the whole point.

What I should have done is instead of spending $60,000 on the Tesla I should have spent $20,000 on the Chevy bolt and had an amazing City car. I just got greedy and "oh my God my cost per mile could be so much lower"... Which it was.... I just couldn't go anywhere I wanted to 💀

[winged spire]

You haven’t truly lived until you’re 5 miles from the charger with 0% battery left lol

AC off, butt clenched

[graceful mortar]

If you want to know the cops per mile differences the Tesla even with me heavily using supercharging was $0.01 per mile. My ICE are .15 per mile IN JUST fuel ...

[fossil frost]

on a standard rate, im paying around 24p/kwh. on an EV tarif, that goes to 28p/kwh 6am-midnight, and 5p/kwh midnight - 6am... petrol costs £1.29/ltr right now, which is $6.44/gal

[winged spire]

WHAT

[graceful mortar]

I actually did that coming out of Death valley 💀💀 it's an uphill climb and I'm like oh my God!

[winged spire]

6.44 a gallon bruh

It’s like 2.10 for standard gas here

[fossil frost]

what about when your fuel range hit zero, yesterday, and you drove home, and then drove to work, still on zero, thinking "it will be fine, ill sort it" 😄

[graceful mortar]

But yeah IF Tesla would not have lost my model 3 performance... Literally.... I 100% believe I would still be driving a Tesla today.

Just seeing that at basically the same speed 82 to 85 miles an hour the three was using what 30% less per mile!!?? AND that was on a hot day, and that is a non heat pump car and I have the air conditioning cranked ...

[winged spire]

My car all said and done is about 9 cents per mile to drive

[fossil frost]

yeah, the USA produces and uses its own stuff, the uk produces its own stuff, then sells it to france, and then buys it from a company in fance, who produces it in france... for some reason... making fuel and electricity in the uk and france... expensive

the uk and france manufactured a bunch of middlemen to create profit for CEOs

[winged spire]

That’s what Australia does

They sell coal to china, realize they didn’t have enough coal for themselves

So they bought the exact same coal back from china for more money

[fossil frost]

yeah, my ex-wife's EV works out about 10p/mile (or about 13c), because shes on an EV rate for her electricity, and charges at home instead of when shes out

[graceful mortar]

No oil is a global market. Even if they pull it out of the ocean here, the cost of transport is effectively free based on their economy of scale ... so they have no problem taking it around the world for 10 cents more per barrel.

The refinery costs are typically what get people in trouble. Bear in mind the United States refine infrastructure is at least 50 years old.. and it can't refine our own crude...

[winged spire]

I only do supercharging

My slum lord would definitely not be willing to add an EV charger even if I paid for it

[fossil frost]

14kw home charger. £1100 fitted.

[winged spire]

Before the fed tax credit ended I offered to do 50/50 costs and they said no

The tax credit would have made them pay basically nothing

If I was home charging I could probably do like 3 cents a mile

[fossil frost]

the 1 benefit of UK electricity is that its 240v.. its more expensive.. but its better... and 3 phase which they hook up to the charger, is 400v

no conversion.. just... 400v out of the wall, from a thick ass cable

[winged spire]

Yeah I wish

240 would be so useful for literally everything I do

I flip my breaker like once a month

Need more powah

[graceful mortar]

Yeah the EV adaptation would not be actually that bad in the United States however the lack of 240 volt capability is what really neutered it.

I mean hell you could do a 50 amp so that's 40 amp continuous 240 volt and that's kind of the best you're going to get at your house.... And that's assuming that your panel can even handle that and if it was built in the 60s the answer is no and if you have to do a panel upgrade all of the electrical needs to be brought up to code and that could be $50,000 💀💀💀

[winged spire]

It’s funny because we get 240 to the door

Every house, 240 in

[graceful mortar]

Spoiled!

[winged spire]

We split that into 120 though

[graceful mortar]

Well we do too actually, it's just split phase.

[fossil frost]

my house has a 120amp 240v supply. if i wanted to go EV, i would get a free upgrade to a 200amp 240v supply (they literally dig up the road and replace the cables, and then replace the box in your house). i dont think ive ever tripped a breaker

[graceful mortar]

It's more the panel's capability a lot of homes have 120 amp panel. And if you have a stove and a dryer you already have 100 amps. Then you want to add the EV charger that makes it to 150 and even with the weird calculation thing they do you're not allowed to have that on that panel.

[winged spire]

7 printers, a heat gun and an ultrasonic sensor plug all my RGB lights is enough to flip the breaker in my print room

[graceful mortar]

Actually I'm sorry most drivers are 30 amp so 80 amp is the stove plus the dryer. And then you want to add another 50 amp plug and that's what put you over.

[winged spire]

Tbf I think that heat gun can do 1500w in its own lol

[graceful mortar]

Yeah she's dying ... These drives are slow... They're not that slow 🫤

[fossil frost]

my heat gun is 3kw.. because its cheap... the best ones are the cheap ones, because they dont bother to step the voltage down, they just run 240v @ 13amps through the coils 😄

[graceful mortar]

💀💀💀

[winged spire]

Yeah this one’s a cheapo roofing heat gun

So it goes upto 800°f

I have absolutely no use for something that hot but that does not stop me from cranking it to the max

[fossil frost]

mine goes somewhere between "volcanic" and "sun like"

[winged spire]

I guess it’s for melting the tar for roofs? Idk

I don’t do manual labor lmao

Roofing is just about the worst job ever

[fossil frost]

mine claims to be for electronics... but ive softened copper with it

took a while, but it did it.. then my brother told me i was "a dickhead", and he did it properly, with his actual gas tools..

blow torch and a pipe bender

[winged spire]

lol

My friend in the Uk just had his water heater replaced and surprisingly they didn’t burn a hole into his wall when soldering the pipes up

Its always shocking when the repair man is actually competent

[fossil frost]

thats literally my brothers job.. going to state owned housing, telling the occupant that their boiler is "old" and they need a new one, and then the government then buys them a new one, and he gets paid to fit it

[winged spire]

Nice

[fossil frost]

(the government pays him to do this. hes supposed to be doing safety checks, but the last time any of these checks were done, was in the 90s)

[winged spire]

Wish the government would pay for my boiler lol

Yall got any extras

[fossil frost]

government paid for mine. a few years ago, you could get a grant for switching to an "energy efficient boiler" if your old one was "malfunctioning" or "seriously inefficient".. i was on about getting it replaced at the time anyway.. and the guy doing it rang me back saying "i can do it all for £1500 like i said.. or... i can charge you £2200 for this better one, and you will pay £200, the government pays the other £2000"... guess which i chose 😄

[winged spire]

😆

[fossil frost]

has a waste heat recycle system (effectively a turbo charger that compresses the hot out gas and then passes it back through the boiler to use as a pre-warmer for the water)

[winged spire]

I’ve been told mine is so far out of code that any licensed pumber would refuse to work on it unless it was redoing the entire place

Probably not touched since the 80s atleast

[fossil frost]

that was the condition that a boiler needed to be in in the uk to get this grant... but... guess who got to decide it was in that condition? the licenced plumber, who was fitting the new one 😄

You did triathlons? That’s cool

[fossil frost]

[winged spire]

I can only do the swimming part well lol

As my name might clue you in 😛

[winged spire]

Goddamn

[fossil frost]

thats the bit i cant do well, at all 😄 i fucking hate swimming

[winged spire]

Swimming is like the peak of exercise

[echo sluice]

swimming is peak

[winged spire]

A true complete Full body workout, actively watercooled, cool things to see in the water

[fossil frost]

my best ever swim at a race was this year tbh... got to the event the day before, WINDY as fuck... water was super choppy... everybody was shitting themselves... everyone arrived the next morning... no wind, lake looked like glass

[winged spire]

That’s my biggest issue with land based workouts

[fossil frost]

i find that its much harder to drown on land

[winged spire]

I overheat like hell so if it’s not -50° in the gym I feel like ass after

[fossil frost]

i overheat too, people think im wired for running in shorts and tshirt in 0c

[winged spire]

Doesn’t help that it’s so humid outside that sweat literally doesn’t work

[fossil frost]

this is me trying to force myself to look like im enjoying my last lap of the run at an ironman distance race this summer

[winged spire]

yeah id be doing this too

if it ever got to 0 degrees lol

[fossil frost]

its 4c outside now, and raining. went running in it a few hours ago. and will be doing again tomorrow

i see other people in base layers, shorts, tshirt, coat, and gloves, and a hat, and still struggling with the cold

[winged spire]

its actually nice outside

12 degrees Celcius

[fossil frost]

perfect running temp

12-14c is what you want for distance racing

[winged spire]

idk the all time record low here was but it coudlnt have been much lower than 0C

[fossil frost]

a couple of years ago, i got a new mountain bike, fat tires, 3 inch wide.. they look like balloons.. -15c and snowing... immediately jumped on the bike and fucked off for 2 hours... came back, couldnt feel my hands, and was almost entirely red 😄

[winged spire]

thats F

so like ... -10 degrees C

[fossil frost]

i know crazy people who do winter open water swimming... when its 0c air temp, or 2c water temp...

thats a whole different type of "fuck that"

[winged spire]

i

[winged spire]

ive done this

[fossil frost]

as long as i had the right shoes, or the right bike... no problem

[winged spire]

I use to live in connecticut where it actually gets cold

camping in -15f / -26 c is not as bad as it looks if youre equiped well

coldest Ive swam was around 20f / -7C

[fossil frost]

as i said.. fuck... that

[winged spire]

lol

it only really sucks when you get out imo

[fossil frost]

no. it sucks when you get in.. and stay in.. AND when you get out

[winged spire]

hehe

as long as youre doing stuff in the water you can stay "warm"

keep your mind and your body off the temp

[fossil frost]

coldest i swam in was 10c water temp.. the very second my face hit the water, instant, immediate, sudden, catastrophic headache

[winged spire]

basically ogtta dissociate haha

[winged spire]

yeah you gotta train the drowning reflex or whatever

vagus nerve thingy

it causes panic and shit like that

Mammalian dive reflex^^^

Monkey brain REALLY does not enjoy cold water

[fossil frost]

i had a panic attack in the water 2 years ago, out of nowhere.. swam all spring and summer, and one day, about half way through a long swim.. my brain just went "noope.. youre dying... GTFO"

[harsh quartz]

I have that while driving about once a year or so. Be driving at 80 down the interstates and brain just goes “oh fuck no fuck no fuck no”

[fossil frost]

it was quicker and preferable to panic swim slightly further out to an island and get myself out on a duckshit covered rock, than it was to try and get attention to get pulled out... i had a wetsuit on too, so i could have just rolled onto my back and been fine, but, panic riddled brain doesnt work like that

if its all just one long string of algebra then why do I fucking suck it

[harsh quartz]

…20$?

[winged spire]

I mean yeah

that should work assuming youve got good enough bed adhesion

not ideal though

[keen mural]

what would be ideal

[winged spire]

changing the model lol

redesinging it

[keen mural]

its quite the difficult shape i agree

not too sure how i could change it

[winged spire]

is there a way you could slice it vertically to print in 2 peices

[keen mural]

big cavity in the middle then

[keen mural]

i see what u mean

i need it to be decently accurate

its only a sabot i dont really care about what it looks like on the outside i just need the projectile to fit well

[winged spire]

its going to be very fragile in the Z with that orientation

so just be super careful there

[keen mural]

so just good bed adhesion and level it before printing

[winged spire]

yeah

otherwise you should be fine

[keen mural]

alright

maybe i should do a test print of just one before doing the other two

[winged spire]

whats it for lol

youtuber, colin furze, got in trouble with the police for his first video, he made a flame thrower that shot flames out of his motorbike..

[winged spire]

I could definitely print that without on most of my printers

[winged spire]

flamethrowers are legal here 😈

[fossil frost]

he later made a potato canon that was not allowed to exceed a certain number of ft/lbs of pressure.. it was about 100x what he was legally allowed to have.. was again visited by the police

but... when he made a pulse jet engine, and strapped it to a bike... THAT was perfectly legal

[keen mural]

yeah ill just stick a fillet there

[fossil frost]

theres a youtuber who bought 100 android phones, signed into them all, and walked down the street with them all in a kiddy trailer... all of them with location disabled.. and google still tracked them, assumed they were all different people, and thought there was a traffic jam, and started routing people around that street

they accidentally exposed google lying about location tracking

this is the one he had which is 100% legal to own

good deal

[fossil frost]

Classification: Flamethrowers are considered "prohibited weapons" under the Firearms Act 1968.
Legal consequences: It is a criminal offense to possess one, and penalties can include up to 10 years in prison.
Importation: Attempts to import them can also lead to criminal charges

One thing that I’m yet to see mentioned about the iPhone 17 pro max is the flashlight

Coming from a 13 pro max it’s SO much better

It’s got the beam forming stuff but also it’s both way way brighter and even in wide beam the spotlight is very bright in the middle which is really nice when you’re pointing it at something specific instead of just a wide area

How is 16gb ddr4 110$ what happened

How does ddr5 cost more than it did when it first launched

Makes ZERO sense

[elfin jetty]

Well you see, AI datacenters need shitloads of ram. And they have the money to outbuy almost everyone

More demand = higher price

[uneven stirrup]

How much did they eat all the ram in the world or something

It’s like a gpu drought but for ram

You can’t even make a budget computer with the prices since 32gb of ddr5 cost $300 rn

250-300$ and 600$ for 64gb

$1000+ for 128gb ddr5

[dreamy smelt]

Who needs ram when there's swap?

[uneven stirrup]

Swap?

[dreamy smelt]

Well uhh the "turn your storage into slow ram" thingy

[thick ember]

Long shot, but i'm pretty desperat at this point. Anyone knows anybody (preferably in business account department) who works at Meta and would be willing to help escalate/review our business account ban? We exausted the normal channels that are automated and automation decided that a single issue that we resolved means it should go scorched earth and nuke everything from orbit. We now have over 200 of our clients affected by this, and we are a Meta tech partner (verified i mind add), but completelly locked out of any ability to deal with this shit 🙁 (we have over 3 years history operating, our issue is that one of the clents had their business compromised and some spam has been sent vbia the whatsapp channel, we closed it quickly and in general dealt with it and had our whatsapp account restored, but now the overall business account got blocked)

[devout grotto]

guys anyone here uses password manager?

How safe is password manager tho?

I want to try it out but still risk of confidential information

[vocal wing]

I would say it’s pretty safe

[thick ember]

yes, and there are a few that have good track record long term, but they are also not free (i pay for one and have been for almsot a decade now)

[covert cradle]

ouch. It's only slightly inflated prices here in the US, though oddly with the exception of 2 x 48GB. $200 for 32GB 6000 CL30, $360-$400 for 64GB, but just $450-$500 for 96GB. 128GB with decent timings seems out of stock most every where though. 5600 CL46 is $800-$900

[uneven stirrup]

Still horrible

yea it's sad to see inflation being induced by a bubble industry

[elfin jetty]

As safe as your password for the password manager is, if its a good company that takes their shit seriously

[austere shale]

The strongest password for a password manager is one so random and complex you don’t even remember it

[alpine gale]

I don't right now, but eventually plan to use Bitwarden or possibly Vaultwarden if I choose to self host. There's always an inherent amount of risk whenever you trust someone else with your data, so be sure to factor that in to your choice.

[solemn goblet]

Love how I had irregular heartbeats after going from standing up to lying down

[teal estuary]

I use vaultwarden myself

[solemn goblet]

Definitely gonna tell the doctor about that

[alpine gale]

If you know you'll be visiting a Canadian address in the coming months, just order it to that address ahead of time so you can pick it up when you visit.

[austere shale]

Ignore it like a man

[solemn goblet]

It’s definitely a new thing for me

When I went from standing up to lying down in bed my heart just started beating irregularly. Thankfully it self terminated

[heady fox]

h-hi

[elfin jetty]

For a sec I read that as NOT telling the doctor and I was gonna lose my shit cause that can be life threatening

[elfin jetty]

[solemn goblet]

Apparently this can be an automatic nervous system thing. Might involve the vagus nerve

[elfin jetty]

Id still get it checked out ASAP. Irregular heartbeat can be caused by many things and a lot of them can be pretty serious

[fossil frost]

probably one of the most accurate tweets ever written

[solemn goblet]

I already had an EKG done and Holter done. They were normal

[austere shale]

Dating nurses and doctors has taught me that 90% of the time you go into the doctor for something like that or honestly anything for that matter they can’t/dont do anything. Especially if it doesn’t happen again, you might just get a “yea that happens sometimes”

[solemn goblet]

I have to wait until freaking January of 2026 for the test

[fossil frost]

my brother went into hospital 3 months ago, having a heart attack.. was told it was gastrointestinal problems by the first doctor.. about a hour later, a (better) doctor told him that he had had a heart attack..

[austere shale]

Sounds about right

For over a year my now-ex was fighting with doctors and specialists to get a POTS diagnosis, they kept saying it’s other things and this and that, just a nightmare

[elfin jetty]

Sometimes people just want to vent. Even if you have solutions for it sometimes it just isnt what they want and thats just something they either have to figure out on their own or deal with it. Unfortunately some people are too stubborn for their own good. I get it though, sometimes it just isnt the right solution.

[fossil frost]

2 heart attacks in the space of 12 hours, at 38, because he was "unlucky" according to the specialist.. people get blood clots all the time, and they go away on their own... he was unlucky enough to have a slightly larger one form, close to his heart, and then dislodge and get stuck in a valve

[austere shale]

I ask “do you want to listen or do you want solutions” it’s that simple

[solemn goblet]

Hard to get diagnosed with POTS. Makes sense

It's usually not a good idea to admit you're committing insurance fraud (or any type of fraud) in public places (or to anyone, really), especially when those places contain people who work in the industry you're about to defraud... 😉 😏

[alpine gale]

Invite should be working fine from what I can see. How long ago was the Discord account you're trying to invite created exactly?

Oct 2018 😭

[austere shale]

That was slightly hyperbolic, I am quitting so I can pass a nicotine test but they don’t care if I’ve quit for a month or a year as long as the test is negative lmao, they literally ask you how long since you quit and regardless of your answer it doesn’t change any of your results/points scoring

Wether I’m gonna start again is yet to be seen, when I did this last year I quit for like 3 months

[dense kiln]

Like if possible I could forward someone this person's ID to check if they're banned for whatever reason but from what they're saying they've never interacted with anything LTT

And the site is already broken lmao

[strange elk]

They cooked so fucking hard with the steamframe

[strange elk]

Havent been this excited about hardware since Big Navi
Maybe barring the deck I suppose

[zinc breach]

Deffently,but I am much more exited for the steam frame.But how much would it cost ?

[zinc breach]

where?

[winged spire]

Grades are in

Passed my engineering 🥱

[strange elk]

The fact they have TMR, the size, supposed modularity, its own router, and I imagine will work with loonix has me sold even if its a grand

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869962073705185330.webp?size=48&name=KahlSmile

Now when I end up getting it is another story. and eye tracking built in yess

And AA. Man this thing has literally everything I was looking for

[zinc breach]

oh the one side it could cost one grand but I dont think that would cost that much because yes something like the vrbeon cost 1k but its a pretty small team and valve problely hase more recources then them and will mass produse it so I say that it would cost around 500-600 euros

[zealous barn]

I imagine itll be an insta sellout and scalpers will resalle for waaay more

[strange elk]

I sure hope so, because sooner I get one the better^^

[soft ocean]

The frame is the best version of the quest lineup that could possibly exist. I don't want to play meta quest games, I want to play steam VR games, portably, with inside out tracking.

[strange elk]

The quest 2 has given me so much grief from the software alone. I like the hardware even if its a bit heavy and dated

[soft ocean]

Yeah

[sharp cradle]

i feel like the steam deck wasn't too bad?

[limpid breach]

Keyboard had a half life logo

[pastel marsh]

wait the gaming computert uses SD storage?

[winged spire]

The steam deck was fine yeah

[pastel marsh]

blehh

[lament nova]

Rate the meal chat

[zinc breach]

a 7/10 it need more spieces

[strange elk]

Its got full size M.2 as well

SD can use the same one Steamdeck used to load your library

Honestly SD is pretty cromulent now

[pastel marsh]

ok good i figured but you never know

[pastel marsh]

104MB/s no

that is half the speed of my internet

[strange elk]

Good enough for indie/smaller titles. Yea my hard drive is faster but still

[lament nova]

I added everythin speed 💔pepper, oregano, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, ketjap manis, onion, cayenne, cumin 💔

Oh and some chili

[zinc breach]

oh ok then thens it a 9.5/10 .

[lament nova]

Thank you

It probably doesnt look like a lot because its all powder

[zealous barn]

i mean its not but this a whole new thing

[zealous barn]

not a 100 sure but yes

[winged spire]

So we can pretty confidently say that unrecord is never coming out huh

im going to be sooooo poor

i conviced my self i did not need a steam deck and the old steam vr headset was to bulky but now they made the perfect vr headset and a tiny pc that can play 4k games consider me sold

I do however lust for the controller. I am one of those wackos that have two of the original steam controller.

[strange elk]

I still want the original one

[south yoke]

I saw someone call it the GabenCube

think about it, a portable series x, why not also buy that

[alpine gale]

This is not, by definition, a scam. Is such a device worth $x.xx price? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends. But please do not use the word "scam" in situations where it does not apply. Poor pricing does not equate to a scam.

[strange elk]

But.. Its upgradeable and repairable

[vapid smelt]

is a cyber truck a scam becuse you can just buy a much cheaper ford ranger?

[muted relic]

No, scam means someone took your money and didn't give you anything that was promised.

This is just poor value for the performance, but if you only care about performance per dollar, you wouldn't be getting this laptop in the first place

the money is going into less tangible aspects of the device

Like features such as the repairability and upgradability

[alpine gale]

I don't lead anyone anywhere. I provide recommendations, possible solutions, and suggestions to people asking for help, with the heavy caveat that the ONLY way you, the consumer, know what you're getting is to be extremely aware of how capitalism works. This largely requires that you, the consumer, do hours or days of research.

TL;DR: I can lead a horse to water, but if they refuse to drink despite my recommendaions, I am not responsible.

[muted relic]

For people who don't value getting the most performance for their dollar as possible, these could very well be absolutely killer.

[vapid smelt]

this water cost to much you have any cheaper options?

[idle carbon]

Hello world

[alpine gale]

"Why yes, right over here we have this swamp liquid. It technically hydrates you, but you may die in a week due to diseases, therefore we recommend drinking the clean water. Would you like to purchase swamp water anyway?"

[vapid smelt]

DEAL

[muted relic]

The fact that you only care about maximum performance for the dollar, and think that anything less that that is a "scam" means you are clearly not the target audience for this as you do not value the things that framework clearly values in their design philosophy.

[strange elk]

Meanwhile the previous attempts at modular laptop GPUs and CPUs exist with one iteration

[winged spire]

swamp liquid is peak

[jaunty timber]

you also have to think framework is still a relatively new player in the space too so there products are not going to fleshed out and the best compared to others that have been doing it for decades now

[muted relic]

I, personally, wouldn't buy this laptop cause it's got an nvidia GPU. The hell are you doing getting a modular laptop when Nvidia's track record for supporting anything open is abysmal.

[strange elk]

I do also question it being nvidia tbh

[muted relic]

I would rather get the version with a discreete AMD GPU, cause that comes with the added benifit of running better on a Linux distro than with the nvidia card

[jaunty timber]

that is true im struggling with that at moment with my go at switching to linux

[fossil frost]

a scam is when you dont get what you paid for.. framework advertise a product, with a price, and you get exactly what you chose to pay for... so... not a scam... not liking what it is they are selling, or disagreeing with their pricing.. doesnt make it a scam, it just makes you somebody who wont buy one of their products...

[muted relic]

I just changed out my 3070 for a 6800XT, and my fedora install is just outright runing better.

[strange elk]

Xbox is a scam because it can't run PC games

[jaunty timber]

i need to think about upgrading my 1080 ti but its not really worth my money yet to upgrade cause it does what i want and plays all the games i want

[fossil frost]

^ ^ ^ everybody needs to read this... this person isnt a unicorn, they are a normal person... this is what real life looks like...

people dont need a 5090 just because some youtuber said its better than the 4090 you went into debt for... you only upgrade when your current system stops doing the thing you want it to do

[jaunty timber]

yes its true ,it does not mean i still don't want one, its just not worth it for my high refresh rate 1080p set up

[vapid smelt]

im finally upgrading my 5700xt and got a new fancy 1440p qd oled a few days ago to upgrade my old 1080p 144hz va monitor now i wait another 5-7 years to upgrade again

[jaunty timber]

nice upgrade

[vapid smelt]

it has premium choking 😏

[fossil frost]

they are honest and up front about it, they admit up front that their hands are tied. yes it CAN be thought of as misleading to people who dont do their own due diligence, but calling it a scam is still straight up wrong

[strange elk]

"I think it's too expensive for the average person"

Just.. Don't be average? Idk

[fossil frost]

the word "scam" is thrown around way to much now, people need to learn what about what they are saying, people need to know what words mean. they cant just say "this is X" without knowing what X means, otherwise all they are doing is showing themselves to be, frankly... stupid

[jaunty timber]

once again its like supporting a kick starter

[strange elk]

Except this company has been established for a while now, and they've followed through previously

[jaunty timber]

still new compared to other manufacturers

[fossil frost]

you dont get to demand a businesses business plan... no business is going to share that with you

[strange elk]

Kinda hard when you'd need the hardware for the upgrade path to exist to begin with

[fossil frost]

this too.. you are asking them to predict what hardware they will be able to get hold of, what hardware is going to exist, what hardware they will be allowed to do this with

[alpine gale]

So ask Framework for this. What a company promises to the consumer is between the consumer and the company. If you didn't sign a legally binding contract that states company X will provide Y thing as part of your purchase, I hate to break it to you, but the company doesn't have to do anything. Get it in writing as a contract.

To be clear, I don't like this at all either, but we live in a world made up of many contractual obligations. "My autistic ass" would love for people to say what they mean, and mean what they say - in fact, I fight this on the daily. Alas, we don't live in such a world, so unless you get something in writing, avoid making assumptions.

[fossil frost]

and again, it falls back to.. if you dont like what they are selling... it doesnt make it a scam, it just makes you, not a customer

[fossil frost]

i saw somebody post about this on twitter the other day... "why dont you come out with us more" "because my autistic ass needs you to specifically, and explicitly invite me. like a vampire..." "hey. we are all going out tonight" will be met with "ahh nice.. .have a good time.. im going home"

[jaunty timber]

and again its your choice to do anything if you dont see it as a good value dont get it

this can be applied to everything

[faint yoke]

the enthusiasts are overrepresented on forums and servers like this, that's nothing new

[jaunty timber]

[faint yoke]

I don't even think that's an autistic thing, like telling someone you're going somewhere is not necessarily to be taken as an invite

[jaunty timber]

same

[fossil frost]

in a work context, being told "we are all going", is effectively an invite. personally i would always double check with "am i included in that?", because why are they telling you, and why are they saying "all" if it didnt include you

[faint yoke]

yeah depends on context ig

[alpine gale]

I agree that it's not limited to ASD, but I have found it to be more common a problem for those in my friend group who struggle with symptoms of ASD. Context is the key limiting factor when it comes to this. Those of us also struggling with other social issues (or PTSD) might keep to ourselves and never assume that we're invited.

[faint yoke]

I've never been great with social cues either tbh so I'm probably not even qualified to be answering lmao

[alpine gale]

The real problem is human communication. Everyday I'm surprised people can get their points across without WWIII starting. 😄 Real listening requires stopping to actively think about why someone said something before even beginning to draft a response. Having ADHD symptoms means that even I too am guilty of not thinking enough.

[fossil frost]

human communication is both great, and terrible... you can say 1000 words, and have said nothing... but.. you can also say more than 1000 words without actually speaking (with just a look, or a simple hand gesture)

the gabecube has 960w of power

Around 40% increase for 2x16, 150% for 2x32, and 40% for 2x48. I didn't realize 2x32 had been that cheap before, so it's actually more than double. Even 40% is an insane inflation tbh though. Slightly was indeed an understatement

Do you not watch LTT? Linus is constantly disclosing the investment lol.

[harsh quartz]

Wow, that’s so creative, I’m surprised no one has done that before

[harsh quartz]

[sick mist]

I recently got back into PC gaming after several years. So far for my new PC I have been playing the new Indiana Jones game and modding the shit out of Morrowind. Any new games I should get. I'm thinking Expedition 33 is definitely on my list, as well as the Oblivion remaster. Anything else?

[keen mural]

man i thought gray was some new cool role nope its muted

🫵 🤡

[strange elk]

Wait isn't this self promotion

😳

[keen mural]

wait what

[faint yoke]

Cyberpunk (aka the best looking graphics benchmark), Control, maybe Stray (the cat RPG)

[strange elk]

Warframe

If you like modding probably fallout 3, new Vegas (tale of two wastelands and Viva new Vegas) and 4 (which has a completely new game basically, Fallout London)

Personally waiting for Skyblivion instead of oblivion remaster

[wispy marsh]

Good

Under Linux)

[calm swan]

please valve price the steam machine well

[wispy marsh]

OpenAI and Oracle are both funding AMD, maybe the price would be decent?

[zealous rover]

Is LTT still looking for that refrigerant for their super cooler machine?

[wispy marsh]

For the money that you didn't pay towards the steam hardware...

You pay with your data that OpenAI uses

[sharp lynx]

I was gunna ask about Valves privacy policy but now I understand what you mean now

One thing I'm happy for is that I never noticed mention of AI. Just something I never noticed until a comment pointed it out that there wasn't any talk about AI in the frame video

[wispy marsh]

No, i'm just shitting on the AI bubble rn

I'd go see it, but...

[covert cradle]

it was a dim purple yesterday here but nothing visible today due to damn clouds. Today's peak was also much earlier in the day compared to yesterdays

G4 was NOAA's prediction and so far the peak was just G3 around 1-4pm-ish (EST).

Yesterday's/today's morning event was great timing. Around 8pm-1am (EST) so minimal light and completely clear skies here

[urban thistle]

I am installing a tiny 11 onto a USB drive. It’s a 3.2 USB drive like usual I have a check for a bad bit during the ISO mount what I forgot to do is unplug it from my keyboard and plug it into one of the fast ports on the computer or the USB hubs so I got 2.0 speed I need the computer on overnight now.

[strange elk]

Hmmmst

[urban thistle]

Do I need brand new computer components for a sleeper build?

[strange elk]

What do you think

[urban thistle]

Probably not they just need to be considerably faster than what you would expect?

[strange elk]

I mean that's what I would say a sleeper is

[urban thistle]

So from a computer that is supposed to have a core 2 in it putting a 9th gen i9 in it would work as a sleeper build

[strange elk]

Sounds fine

[pulsar parcel]

[zealous barn]

what about humble and fanatical?

they in theory also have keys but they licensed

are they allowed to be mentioned here

[brazen relic]

I just realized something
everyone running SteamOS can do the funniest thing possible
slap an "I use Arch btw" sticker on their devices

[burnt marten]

ooh new ltt video

[inner plank]

No. They cannot. If you can't use Pacman, it's not really Arch

[brazen relic]

I don't get it

[inner plank]

What part?

[brazen relic]

If you can't use Pacman, it's not really Arch

SteamOS is Arch based

[inner plank]

Pacman is Arch's package manager

[burnt marten]

by the way u guys should play the new pacman world 2 remaster

[inner plank]

yes it is

No thanks, I have my own pacman

[brazen relic]

so why can't people say "I use Arch" when talking about SteamOS devices

I don't get it

[inner plank]

Well, it's immutable and not KISS, so that goes very much against the arch ethos... yes, it's using parts of the Arch build system, but that's basically where the similarities end. You can't use pacman or install packages from the AUR or official arch repos (afaik), so that makes it not technically arch

[meager kayak]

People can say whatever they want. No one can stop them.
HOWEVER, part of the arch experience is installing base arch manually, configuring a WM , installing each package you need on your own. Arch purists will argue that you haven't earned the right to say that.

[inner plank]

That's what I was trying to say without saying it

[meager kayak]

this is coming from someone who has used arch for a while now, and am now on Omachy. It's still arch, but not really arch.

[inner plank]

@meager kayak as you can clearly see, I am one of these people who don't like people that don't use real arch say "btw, I use Arch". I don't usually say "btw, I use Arch", but I can neither confirm nor deny that it is in my email signature

[meager kayak]

Hey, I still have my Arch logo sticker on my ThinkPad.

reeeeeeeee

[inner plank]

Omachy is fine for saying "btw I use Arch", same goes for Cachy imo

[meager kayak]

Yeah Omachy is basically a skin over Arch. Pre-configured arch. Honestly, I just don't have the time to mess with creating my own Hyprland config anymore.

[inner plank]

Yeah makes sense... I clearly do https://git.janishutz.com/janishutz/dotfiles and you can only guess what my editor is (spoiler: ||https://git.janishutz.com/janishutz/nvim||)
