[edgy sun]

Guys wanna hear a true Canadian story? A chat support rep from my bank just told me to call the number in the back of my lost/stolen debit card. 🥸

... time for a purge?

[graceful matrix]

use snow balls

[zealous barn]

i cant wait for the whole world 😭 either make it or break it

[edgy sun]

Might as well at this point

[graceful matrix]

make banans bread

[zealous barn]

yes, is what ive asked my girl friends for so long

they all just haters tho

i dont think Ive ever had it

[graceful matrix]

so many ?

[zealous barn]

see the space in-between the girl and friends?

[graceful matrix]

2 persons

[ruby basin]

i thought linus wasnt very opionated and fairly neutral to internet drama

and then i found his Twitter Dear god

[graceful matrix]

7.7 days of this game

[zealous barn]

the game market is crazy

[ruby basin]

proably him not turning off his home server or smth

[dusky jacinth]

Which one? Torvalds or Sebastian?

[ruby basin]

linus lmg

[graceful matrix]

ye

[dusky jacinth]

Okay, so Sebastian then. Lol.

[ruby basin]

I was like wholesome linus- oh no

[dusky jacinth]

To be frank, THAT was something I wouldn't have expected out of Linus Sebastian, just the same as I never expected Linus Torvalds to be an unreasonable person despite his unfiltered edge.

If it's his Twatter account, I would've expected him to just say... Whatever the hell he feels like.

[ruby basin]

whats the difference between torvals and Sebastian im confused

[alpine gale]

No... not for everyone.

[ruby basin]

We cant escape her anymore

https://tenor.com/view/mariah-carey-christmas-merry-christmas-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-its-time-gif-8937953536637082786

[dusky jacinth]

Sebastian is... No mystery, considering that while there's no full transparency about his personality off camera, he can be whiny, somewhat of a dumbass, a bit informal, and even sometimes distracted with too many things at once.

[ruby basin]

ok

so torvalds his on camera personality

[dusky jacinth]

Torvalds meanwhile is known for having way more patience than he projects in... Well, let's just say the open source community at large has quite a lot to say about him, a lot of which narrows down to coming off as somewhat of a mindful, "brilliant jerk".

[zealous barn]

my name everi wan

[ruby basin]

im very confused does he have like two personalities

[graceful matrix]

where you live?

to have that time?

[flint portal]

West coast NA

[alpine gale]

PST timezone. Same as LMG.

[dusky jacinth]

He's also stingingly personal whenever dealing with maintainers and other people in the FOSS community, particularly Linux kernel maintainers, where while it's warranted of him, he sometimes goes off on people with almost no filter over various things. Even there was recent stuff that happened and while considered harsh, it was something really stupid one of the veteran maintainers did (especially at last minute) and Torvalds was not having any of it.

[graceful matrix]

ah ok but still better wheather than i have in Germany

[dusky jacinth]

You could basically sum the two up with just:

• Linus Sebastian can be pretty pissy and stupid.
• Linus Torvalds is brutal and strongly-opinionated.

[silver sun]

679

[dusky jacinth]

In most situations, they're normal, but in others they're a handful or two socially.

The latter being the emotionally heaviest hitting btw. Lol.

[north wraith]

Any suggestions for replacing the gmail “inbox category” like experience? I was thinking about writing up sorting rules to do it.

Also if you all had recommendation for non gmail email providers that would be nice

[grim belfry]

Outlook

[north wraith]

Honestly yeah thats what its feeling like

[grim belfry]

Exchange Plan 1 if you don't want ads/custom domain

[north wraith]

Baring some shitty thing they try to do with co-pilot at least

knocks on wood

It’s funny I had just toggle off the “smart features” for gmail and then saw the tech news and was like “oh yeah my inbox doesn’t have the categories anymore 🙁

[pale bloom]

it's only fair seeing as he's leading the way on of all things Linux

if he wasn't so hard headed linux would've gone down a wrong path in many different areas

[dusky jacinth]

Very true.

[keen mural]

“home theater”

[crystal prairie]

at least the headphones look nice

I have some audio technicas but I just use them as heatset nothing audiophile level

[timid jay]

I did not know Linus had a discord server and I’ve been watching his channel for ages 😭

[elfin jetty]

b re h

[fair estuary]

since ram prices are so high. thought I'd flex a little.

[rapid temple]

inb4 it's ddr2

[fair estuary]

https://valid.x86.fr/0u9uv9
nah ddr4, just rather slow
(yes i need a better gpu. gonna get 2 x 4000 ada cards, mainly cause 1 wide and 20GB VRAM each)

[keen mural]

yeah sure msi ds502 from like 2015

[merry relic]

i finally figured out how to look up discord servers😭

[oak pier]

you mean the discover tab?

[merry relic]

yea

[timid jay]

I have 16gb ddr4, amd ryzen 5 4500 and amd rx 6600 xt and a 1tb ssd with a b450m mobo

holy hell i dont think ive ever fangirled this hard

[unborn marten]

anyone here knows how to crack windows 11 activation code?

I had an old cracking app but it seems like it got patched lol

[alpine gale]

Um. ahem #rules 9

[unborn marten]

sorry

[urban thistle]

Didn’t Linus teach people how to do this?

[oak pier]

Also against discord ToS in general

[oak pier]

Regardless, it's against Discord ToS and thus server rules

[alpine gale]

Purchase a Windows license from a legitimate authorized reseller. If you buy a Retail license, it's good for life, as you can move it between PC's as you build new one's for the rest of your life.

[unborn marten]

good note, I kinda remember that

[teal estuary]

flex harder

[urban thistle]

This video is definitely a good watch https://youtu.be/yJkRd9py5mA?si=Ct0iAbN7L-MoKu83

[unborn marten]

yeah I bought an enterprise code back then, there's no way I could reuse that

[urban thistle]

Should I get a 5070 TI or a 5080 I have a 1080P 60 fps monitor

[unborn marten]

neither matters if you aren't upgrading your monitor lol

[urban thistle]

No

I was kind of leaning towards the 5070 TI since it’s a lot cheaper and realistically I wouldn’t see much performance gains with the resolution

[near sail]

why not just focus on... upgrading the monitor?

[urban thistle]

Because I’m fine with the monitors

OK, here is a better question. Should I get the 5070 TI or the 4080

[burnt cave]

today i have been very advised to get a 5070 TI

what do you have now?

[urban thistle]

Rx 6800 16gb

64gb ram

And I’m soon going to have a 14th gen i9 k or ks

[teal estuary]

inb4 CPU eats itself

[urban thistle]

Huh

Wdym

[oak pier]

nom nom nom

[teal estuary]

Intel raptor lake CPUs (13000/14000 series) have a tendency to eat themselves

[oak pier]

hungy cpus

[urban thistle]

Ahhhh

Yeah, I currently have a 12th GEN I 7K

[teal estuary]

ima be honest, id stick with 12th

[oak pier]

jormungandr’ing themselves

[urban thistle]

I was thinking about getting either the K or the KS and just down clocking it

[teal estuary]

are you referencing the anime/manga?

[oak pier]

why would you get the ks just to downclock it

[oak pier]

norse mythology…

[timid jay]

How good is the ryzen 5 4500 with a 6600xt cause that’s what I have, I think it’s around ryzen 5 3600x performance but I could be wrong

[urban thistle]

Like down clock, it close to the same as the normal K

[teal estuary]

i dont know these things, and w/ iroh as your pfp, 50/50

[urban thistle]

Just for more stability and what not

[oak pier]

the difference between the ks and k is the ks clocks higher

[urban thistle]

Yes I know

[oak pier]

what anime/manga did you think i was referencing?

[teal estuary]

if you wanna stay intel, stick with alder, or jump to arrow
else go to am5

[tender glade]

jorgumandr could be a reference to a lot of things

[teal estuary]

Jormungand

[urban thistle]

I want to use the same motherboard

[tender glade]

also a yugioh card lol

[oak pier]

not my fault norse mythology is so popular

but i was referring to the myth where he swallows his own tail

“eating” himself

[urban thistle]

And the 12th gen I9 isn’t really that big of a difference between the I7

[tender glade]

that’s ouroborous

[oak pier]

JORMUNGANDR ALSO DOES IT

ENCIRCLING MIDGARD

[teal estuary]

heh, the wikipedia did you mean on the norse mithology of it is great

This article is about the sea serpent in Norse mythology. For the Marvel Comics version, see Midgard Serpent (Marvel Comics). For the manga series, see Jormungand (manga). For the extinct genus of recumbirostran, see Joermungandr bolti. For the extinct genus of mosasaur, see Jormungandr walhallaensis.

[tender glade]

but oroborous is the more popular reference to when something eats itself

[oak pier]

too bad, i said jormungandr

[tender glade]

how’s everyone doing!

[teal estuary]

im doing fine, my wallet on the other hand

[oak pier]

i get paid tmr, so pretty good

[urban thistle]

Is the KF safer do you think?

[oak pier]

i love that we both went to money

[teal estuary]

anything raptorlake isn't safe IMO

[oak pier]

https://tenor.com/view/money-mr-crabs-mr-crabs-money-money-money-money-gif-15303388842284429427

[teal estuary]

ive spent a lot of money in the last handful of days

[tender glade]

haven’t talked with rogue in a while

[oak pier]

samesies!

next paycheck will be good though, and the one after

[tender glade]

wanna know something crazy that happened to me

[teal estuary]

go on

[oak pier]

31 hour week and a 40 hour week respectively (i’m part time) (i average 20 hour weeks)

[tender glade]

my amp exploded while I was using it and took an iem with it

[oak pier]

NOT THE IEMS!

[tender glade]

Not exploded but a channel got shot

[dusky jacinth]

In a big man's world.

[teal estuary]

i spent over $4k in the last week...

[oak pier]

not samesies!

[teal estuary]

actually, its probably over $5k now

[tender glade]

whatchya buying

[teal estuary]

oof, what amp?

[tender glade]

It was a Magni

[oak pier]

amp repair is scaring

[teal estuary]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[oak pier]

one time i had my hand at repairing a 2kw amp, scariest thing ever

[teal estuary]

i dont have a magni, but i do have a magnius, and a ragnarok, and a hel

[oak pier]

what about a modi?

[tender glade]

it’s ok schiit support is pretty good

But I’ll tell you guys what happens when things are done :) it was 2 weeks from being covered under warranty too

[oak pier]

rip

[teal estuary]

monitors, keyboards, gpus, weights (my brother's actually), some other stuffs

[teal estuary]

2 weeks past warranty?

[tender glade]

Mhm

[oak pier]

gpus plural?

[teal estuary]

yes

[alpine gale]

Oh well, you know... it's Sunday night (back to work tomorrow), my arm still hurts (vaccination shot), and there are no BF deals worth speaking of (not surprising), otherwise doing good enough.

[teal estuary]

id hope they'd cover it anyway if its that close

[tender glade]

Black Friday staaaank this year.

Even on steam

[alpine gale]

Honestly... I wish they didn't even participate. Their Summer / Autumn / Holiday sales are better.

[tender glade]

I think this is the worst year of Black Friday yet

[harsh quartz]

Steam has a few good ones, but they’re the same good ones from previous years :(

[teal estuary]

got myself a 2080ti, a 280x, an M10, and a WX 2100

oh, and just today i bought a PC for the RAM in it, and got a 1060 6GB with it

[harsh quartz]

Only thing I picked up was Silksong and that’s not even on sale, I just wanted to play it :p

[teal estuary]

got over 400GB of DDR4 ECC for $500

[tender glade]

Hope so too! It’s so weird using the neutral headphone input from my 276 now

[harsh quartz]

In this economy ?

[teal estuary]

yea, literally today i went and picked it up

got a free computer with it too

[tender glade]

Reminds me of when I actively audio engineered. Never mix your pleasure and your work

[harsh quartz]

Wild

[tender glade]

You’ll end up hating one over the other

[teal estuary]

heh, im actively making that worse for me...

i just took a new job, and thats going to take my main hobby

[tender glade]

It’s not worth it!

I say as I am finally graduating EE

[teal estuary]

imagine going to college

[tender glade]

University is fun!

[teal estuary]

i managed to just go straight into (game) engine dev

[tender glade]

well, it depends on what you go for

[harsh quartz]

University is fun, paying money not so much

[tender glade]

but I think any engineering or stem is really interesting. I’m currently deep in solid state devices

[teal estuary]

"solid state"

[covert cradle]

I wish I could afford college without going into debt. I want to play with toys hardware I can't afford

[tender glade]

Like manufacturing transistors, jfets, mosfets

hm?

[harsh quartz]

Did you do actually university or online stuff?

[tender glade]

I’m actually in uni, am graduating next semester

5 years of suffering!

[teal estuary]

graduating 26Q2?

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, nice, first person I’ve talked to in a while actually going to school

[tender glade]

I’m smort (kinda)

I’d say EE is definitely the most interesting out of the engineers though, not biased or anything. Just a lot of things that connect to other things that are cool!

[teal estuary]

hey now, uni doesnt mean smort, and no-uni doesnt mean no-smort

[tender glade]

Building circuits and suffering for hours in lab, with other people, research and all that, being on the forefront of discovery is very fun!

[harsh quartz]

Honestly kinda wish I had the competencies to go through classes again, I just don’t think I could do it. First time I have to write a paper I’m dead

[tender glade]

you mostly don’t have to write papers if your an engineer

[teal estuary]

dont wanna sit at a desk, trying to figure out why the computer is doing exactly what you told it to?

[covert cradle]

done FPGAs yet? Quite fun to use and are kinda a bridge to learning silicon design if you wanted to go further. I'm biased towards xilinx since I've spent enough hours in it, but Kria is a nice starter SoM

[tender glade]

Of course! There’s a lot of technical stuff that engineers don’t excel at. Which is why there’s always a technical team and an engineering team

[tender glade]

I did those like 2 years ago

and touched up on them recently

[teal estuary]

oh, i more just meant some people manage to come out of college still an idiot, and others dont need it to be really damn good

[tender glade]

All EE’s are required to take at least 4 CS classes, namely
Intro to programming, Computer Architecture and Design, Signals and Systems and Embedded Systems

[teal estuary]

id like to put myself in the latter category, having not gone through uni, but already being poached to another job

[harsh quartz]

Tool like any other, some people can use it to progress, some people don’t need it to do the job, some people end up stapling paper to their forehead with it

[tender glade]

Currently the focus of embedded systems is ARM software, less leaning in the hardware side of things. In solid state devices you don’t learn about specific parts rather you mix what you know of quantum mechanics, electrical engineering, math and chemistry to understand how most things that require a semiconductor are manufactured

Mainly diodes. But we have gone over most things

[teal estuary]

software is fun

[covert cradle]

I'm setting up my vitis platform in vivado rn. I still haven't really messed with Vitis yet so I'm excited to try that soon (It's the xilinx C-based HLS if you were doing another company's archiecture in your course)

[tender glade]

I’ve never heard of any of those things. We mainly stuck to Keil u5

[covert cradle]

It's the xilinx suite. Vivado for RTL and block design and Vitis for C-based HLS

[tender glade]

I’ll have to look into that, I’m pretty horrible at software engineering unironically lmao

[teal estuary]

just git good

[covert cradle]

Technically it's gateware so you should be good to go /s

[teal estuary]

i say as a software engineer

[harsh quartz]

Ive never understood, where do you even start with something like that?

[teal estuary]

uhhh, good question

[covert cradle]

Obviously I'm biased since it's what I learned on, but I definitely recommend Xilinx's Kria. Actually modern fpga architecture but not at a completely unreasonable price for the starter kits

[teal estuary]

do you mean start from nothing or?

[covert cradle]

Or really it's AMD not Xilinx anymore

[harsh quartz]

I mean, I work in IT, I’ve used CLI for a little basic Cisco and adtran programming but that’s it. I honestly have no idea what to even start with in that direction, and it’d be nice to have the option open

[teal estuary]

in my case, it was years of moving-goalpost hobby projects, culminating in some moderately large MC mods

start with a i wamma make [X] and slowly step up how larger, complex X is, and then eventually you have the skills
thats the easy part, now getting your first job is a PITA because you have to prove yourself without any history to rely on, and nobody in the industry knows you

if you can catch the attention of the right people, then it can work out fine, which is what happened for me, and i got really lucky

[harsh quartz]

I’ve played your reactors fork, it’s fun, I miss it in my current modpack :(

[teal estuary]

yup, thats one of the mods ive made

this is the newer one, where ive been putting my time more recently, https://github.com/RogueLogix/Cinnabar

[teal estuary]

it was the author of BR (the original one) that hired me first, actually

turns out, when someone's job is perf, and you manage to get their code to run hundreds of times faster, they are very interested in what you can do

[harsh quartz]

Oh, sick

[teal estuary]

and now, Cinnabar caught someone else's attention

so, that mods gonna get discontinued, but these things happen

[harsh quartz]

Sadge, usually better to progress than worry about a hobby though

[teal estuary]

do you know who Dinnerbone is?

[harsh quartz]

More or less, I remeber the white lab coat and he has the nametag Easter egg, one of the original devs?

[teal estuary]

yea, one of MC's devs, been there a long time, currently works mostly on graphics stuff

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, I would’ve assumed he was gone by now

@molten wasp

[teal estuary]

nope, still there

[molten wasp]

[harsh quartz]

Get lobstered idiot

[harsh quartz]

So, is blaze3d currently in use or still being worked on? I can’t find much information on it, but your mod page mentioned it

[teal estuary]

its an internal graphics abstraction layer for MCJE

vanilla MC can run on any implementation of it, which Cinnabar is

Vanilla uses an OpenGL based one ofc

Cinnabar just implements that with VK, and also does some fancy thing to go fast

[harsh quartz]

Makes enough sense ig, without know any of the technical matters, all I saw about it was rumors and posts from years back but couldn’t see any hard info on it.

[teal estuary]

B3D from years ago and modern B3D are two very different things with the same name

[harsh quartz]

Well that’s not somehow even more confusing than it already was

[teal estuary]

idfk exactly what old B3D was, but it was graphics related stuff

new b3d (and no, b4d isn't a reasonable name, thats already taken by a mod), is the graphics abstraction layer

[harsh quartz]

You should start making Minecraft mods

[molten wasp]

ive thought about it before, but never looked into it, idk if id just have to get used to java or what

[harsh quartz]

Idk but if you figure anything out lmk

[molten wasp]

cool i have another hobby project to look forward to

[harsh quartz]

You should finish 1

[teal estuary]

yes, you have to use Java

[harsh quartz]

Can finish that BG3 run any time

[harsh quartz]

This might be an overly simplified starting point for me to look into

[teal estuary]

learn Java is a starting point, yes

[harsh quartz]

Kek

Might be what I work on after finishing security

[west gust]

That room solution deal for black friday is insane. Can easily resell the Stream Deck and only get the kit for $60-$70

[flint portal]

Was tempted to get that because I already have MCM and they're great but I don't need a 2nd stream deck lol

And I don't need more MCM that badly rn

[urban thistle]

OK now I’m kind of thinking of just getting the 12900KS

[west gust]

Still rockin Loupedeck. I think brand new resell for Stream Deck can at least get $100+ for it

[urban thistle]

I can get one for 230

[flint portal]

loupedeck is sick

[west gust]

Nothing beats the Loupedeck CT still. Unfortunate they don't make them anymore

At least Logitech bought them and still supporting the software

[severe marsh]

sleep is for noooooobs

[lime moat]

hi yall

[inner plank]

Did you guys see the recent GNCA video? (Don't even have to have seen it, it's about the AI slop everywhere)
What is your take on this?

[idle nymph]

about the AI slop ?

[inner plank]

yeah

[idle nymph]

as in generative ai ?

[inner plank]

yes

[idle nymph]

fuck that shit

i despise generative AI with a passion

[inner plank]

If it's optional, I guess why not for the people that like it. But if it's forced down our throats, that's just awful

[idle nymph]

i think it's scummy

those AI are trained on stolen data from artist

[inner plank]

I guess you could put it that way yeah

[idle nymph]

and AI should be used to make us work faster and less so we can spend more time focusing on art and creative things

not the other way around

[inner plank]

And on Code that was stolen from FOSS projects licensed under the GPL license (so all code AI outputs needs to also be lincesed under the GPL technically now)

The only thing AI is really good at is being a "search engine" to get you started

[idle nymph]

and automatising tasks

[inner plank]

As one professor at ETH has put it at one point: "AI is a lossy index of human knowledge" and I fully agree with that

[inner plank]

yes, but it needs serious human oversight, as it makes so many mistakes

[idle nymph]

i think quite a lot of tasks could be automatised or facilitated a lot with AI

[idle nymph]

true, it still helps save a ton of time though

[flint portal]

Its more common to see gen AI being used as a grift tool rather than anything else. Its really shitty

[idle nymph]

overall i think generative AI should be banned im ngl

[inner plank]

Yes, especially when searching for some obscure answer. What I quite like is the sources for the AI overview things / whenever AI gives sources. That can give you a basic overview from its output and then a more in-depth (and likely more accurate and correct) answer from the source

[idle nymph]

whenever i have school work i ask the AI for sources and documents related to the theme then i start my work with those sources and documents. it's quite useful ngl

[inner plank]

That is a fair point, but that is sadly not gonna happen. People have gotten used to not having to think anymore too much, so it is unavoidable

[inner plank]

Yeah. That is what it's great at. Being a search engine. It can give you ideas that a traditional search engine couldn't

[idle nymph]

unfortunately true, we're way past that

i'll still hate generative AI with all my heart though

[inner plank]

That is fair enough. Especially, as it's made out to be "the next big thing" that will revolutionize humanity... it will probably... make humanity worse

[flint portal]

There's no positives to gen AI, it requires a shit ton of energy to generate, steals copyrighted and personal work, and its making everyone dumber

[idle nymph]

there's geniunely no pros to gen AI

it's geniunely one of the worst thing humanity invented

[flint portal]

We can only hope this bubble pops sooner than later

but with so much of the economy dipped into it I don't see that happening.

[idle nymph]

cant wait for the 2026 financial crysis once it pops

[flint portal]

"We're not Enron" lmao

[idle nymph]

my guess is tax payers will bail them out

[flint portal]

Oh 100%

[idle nymph]

like always with companies

[flint portal]

Especially under this administration

[inner plank]

It has some possibilities of doing good in medical research and stuff. It can make voice assistants a tad more competent. It can make searching for answers quicker. That's about it

[inner plank]

I do actually agree with that

[idle nymph]

at least i wont go into studies with a massive crysis ig

[flint portal]

With how often AI is inaccurate I don't trust it in medical research ngl

[idle nymph]

ehhhhhh im more talking about the video/picture generating ones

those AIs are the worst thing created so far

[inner plank]

Ahh yeah those need to be banned. I meant LLMs

[idle nymph]

nuked even. i hate those

[inner plank]

I thought you meant AI in general. On that I 100% agree

[idle nymph]

no i meant specifically generative AI

[flint portal]

As long as its studied thoroughly I'd be fine with it

[inner plank]

yes. This is so scary. Like incredibly scary

[flint portal]

GenAI needs to disappear forever

[inner plank]

The point is, LLMs are also generative AI

[idle nymph]

AI has potential but god we need to pass laws asap

[inner plank]

You gotta keep in mind that the use in medical research is to get new ideas. Only that. And it has enabled researchers to do protein folding that was so far impossible to achieve using traditional computing methods, as the datasets are way too large

[idle nymph]

eh, ig specifications should be made 🤔

[idle nymph]

that's impressive

[idle nymph]

tbh it's not happening anytime soon

might be too late already

[inner plank]

Yeah. I agree that calling LLMs GenAI is a bit weird, but technically, by definition it is GenAI

[inner plank]

I am pretty positive that it is too little too late

[idle nymph]

i think LLMs have a real use case while genAI that produce the slop videos and pictures should be banned

[idle nymph]

one thing for sure it aint getting better 💔

[inner plank]

Yep. Especially for all the risks. Also the speech models that can imitate anybody with just a few seconds of audio from that person

[idle nymph]

the Trump administration isn't planning to do anything about it and the EU is too busy trying to spy on their citizen to do anything useful

[inner plank]

These create such a large risk of the phone scams

[idle nymph]

it's highkey scary

[inner plank]

Exactly. And Switzerland that would have the resources to do so won't, because then we will just fall behind by having actual laws and that would make most of our population unhappy (because people outside Switzerland have "all these amazing things and we do not"... stfu people, but I can see their argument)

[idle nymph]

yeah, overall we're kinda fried

can the militant from just stop oil throw their soup at servers instead of paintings

[inner plank]

Ohh yeah what I forgot to mention in regards to GenAI... all the energy consumption and thus pollution and all the money that is blown on something this useless is truly frightening

[idle nymph]

nahhh you dont get it the boomers need their daily dose of AI slop to eat everyday

[inner plank]

Also, fun fact, I believe that a 14b parameter LLM is good enough for most research tasks for the everyday user. That just uses <12 GB of VRAM and thus can be run on basically whatever hardware very efficiently

[idle nymph]

lowk it feels like were starting to head for a cyberpunk 2077 scenario 💔

[inner plank]

You are absolutely right! Not only do they need their AI slop to eat every day, but they also need it before bed and on the toilet — it's all about getting that daily dose in

(and yes, I just tried to that in the LLM writing style)

[inner plank]

yeah sounds about right

[idle nymph]

let's see :
corporation being greedy and hogging ressources like water and electricity ? check
AI progressively taking over the net ? check (60% of the traffic i think)
potential financial crash ? check

all were missing is a civil war in america and an AI take over

[idle nymph]

😭 this is way too accurate

[inner plank]

Yeah about 60% is accurate. What is scary is that they pull in the pages every single time... for no reason. I don't understand why they don't just have a cache for commonly used pages... like a huge cache. That sure gotta be cheaper, right?

[idle nymph]

it's getting scary. at least i hope we get cool body modifications or it'll truly suck

i forgot to say but we can also check cyberpsychos (AI psychosis is a thing)

[inner plank]

ohh yeah sure do

[rugged cobalt]

don't like this perspective. boomers have basic self-awareness but they haven't been raised on the internet like everyone in this server has, so they're bad at telling AI apart from human. most of the time when you tell them something is fake, they immediately turn on it

[inner plank]

What I also find scary is all the AI that is being built into the OSes. I don't want any of that. Luckily there is a way on desktop... However, on mobile it's getting more and more difficult, which leads me to another issue we currently face: Locked down operating systems and devices on mobile and many other platforms, restricting your freedom. And sadly, on mobile, it really is not feasible to fully drop both Google and Apple.

[inner plank]

That is true and I have talked with my mom about this a lot. But this issue not only affects the older users, but also the young users. My sister (she's 17) 100% could not tell if an image is AI generated. Guaranteed

[rugged cobalt]

there is no authentic demand for AI content, it's just "tech bros" (who are different from people in the LTT community) trying to monopolize people's inner monologues

they put it everywhere explicitly to reduce critical thinking

[inner plank]

Very true and I think that's the best way I have seen this put ever

[idle nymph]

True

[urban haven]

after seeing the new ltt video i admire torvalds even more
he is on point, he is happy that people built success on his software and he is unintentionally funny

[mental goblet]

can anyone recommend a tool to test cpu overclock currently using occt

[fossil frost]

He's intentionally funny. But because he's Finnish, he has the "ice-man" vibe, which is pretty common for people from Finland

[urban haven]

i mean i only know the german stereotype which i can tell is true thanks to german coworkers but i havent heard that from finnish people yet, interesting

[strange night]

What do you guys say about. All refurbished! HP EliteBook 845 G8 Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U 370€. O should i go with the legendary Thinkpad t14s gen1 Ryzen 5 pro 4650U 350€ Both with 16gb ram and hp one with 512gb and thinkpad 256gb

Mostly programming

And performance difference is between 10 and 20%

[inner plank]

Think pad as HP is utterly crap often. And Thinkpads run better with Linux than HP devices usually, but not much difference anymore… anymore referring to that being true for like 7 years now

[strange night]

Even with that performance difference?

[inner plank]

Is the thinkpad convertible?

[strange night]

You mean 360°?

[inner plank]

yeah

[strange night]

No

[inner plank]

The HP isn't, either?

[strange night]

No

Thinkpad support (kernel 5.6+)

[inner plank]

Yeah okay, the HP looks like a much better deal, especially with the extra storage

[sturdy dune]

id go with the thinkpad. this model of hp does not really look like a good package

[strange night]

And Hp (kernel 5.8+)

[inner plank]

yeah. The performance and storage are better on the HP, but the rest is definitely worse

[sturdy dune]

unless you really want a 14in laptop i thinkpad the think is the way to go

[inner plank]

Thinkpad is also 14''

[strange night]

Thinkpad are known for their roughed build

[sturdy dune]

oh i thought they were only 15.6

[inner plank]

Thinkpad has the size in the name

[sturdy dune]

i guess i should have read the model name

[inner plank]

The HP is also 14''

[inner plank]

Yeah and that's why it's a better device. And for distro, I'd recommend going with Arch for development. It's just so much better

[strange night]

Or any recommendations for 300-400€

[glass zenith]

driving test in 30 minutes 💀

[inner plank]

Good luck

[inner plank]

That will be hard. The Thinkpad is quite good, but the HP is also fine

[glass zenith]

I hope I will pass this time

[inner plank]

ohh haha. Which country?

[glass zenith]

Poland

[inner plank]

Nice, so won't be that much different from here in Switzerland. For me that was about 3 years and 5 months ago

[fossil frost]

polish test looks very similar to the uk test, its not uncommon to pass 2nd time instead of 1st

[glass zenith]

this is my second attempt

[inner plank]

you got this

I am assuming you are taking the practical one?

[glass zenith]

Yes

I passed the theoretical on the first try with 100%

[inner plank]

nice, you got this

[fossil frost]

the things people fail on usually on the practical, are not looking in your mirrors... so, when you do look in your mirrors, over-sell it, make sure they see you looking

eye turn isnt good enough for them, you need to move your head

[glass zenith]

I know

[inner plank]

Where I live we have a mean highway exit where there is an 80kph speed limit where most people just continue at 100... hundreds of tests have ended there

[glass zenith]

I hate the cars that we have

0-40km/h in 3 business days

[inner plank]

Ohh RIP. The driving school I went to had Golf 8 GTIs.

[glass zenith]

2023 skoda fabia 1.0 60hp

[fossil frost]

theres a 40mph 90 degree corner, with adverse camber, that drops about 6ft into a farm field, about a mile away from where i live.. somebody rolls into that field at least twice a month

[inner plank]

And that was also the car I did my test in

[inner plank]

Dear god

[fossil frost]

everyone takes their test/lessons in a shit car, its part of learning

[fossil frost]

people are too stupid to slow down

[glass zenith]

In another city they have hyundai i20

[inner plank]

Not here in Switzerland usually. The weakest car I have seen so far for driving lessons is a Peugeot 208 GTI (or RS or whatever Peugeot calls the sporty version)

[inner plank]

it appears as tho that could happen haha

[inner plank]

yeah not that much better

[glass zenith]

I had the wheel 2cm on the line

Fuck this wifi

[inner plank]

That did fail the test?

[glass zenith]

My first time I failed in this shit

[inner plank]

Parking and maneuvering?

[glass zenith]

Yes

[inner plank]

So you have to park forward and backwards I assume?

[glass zenith]

Yes

[inner plank]

I had to parallel park, reverse and park backwards

[glass zenith]

my leg hurt and I released the clutch too quickly

[inner plank]

And the examiner tried to lure me into a one-way street

[glass zenith]

I have 4 titanium screws so

[inner plank]

That'll do the trick yeah

[inner plank]

Also I just realized I should have just looked at your bio, I would have recognized the polish haha

[summer folio]

Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 was the last Windows? I member

[inner plank]

yes, it's the last Windows many people will use... I have actually never used Win11 beyond helping people out. I have been using Linux for over 4 years now and it's just better

[unborn lake]

I wonder if there's any good priced 75-85% Bluetooth barebones kits

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-monkey-think-monkey-meme-ponder-monkey-idea-gif-6401133862108294696

[idle nymph]

honestly once the support for it fully ends ill hop on linux

[inner plank]

That's a good idea. Until then, we might have better support for competitive games even

[idle nymph]

good luck mate

[idle nymph]

thank god the EU allows me to get 1 more year of support ngl

also here's to hoping ig

[inner plank]

yeah. I have a Win10 install on my PC as well for compiles and sim racing

[idle nymph]

i run win10 on my desktop and i daily w11 on my school laptop (it sucks)

[inner plank]

Yeah Win11 is awful. Win10 isn't great, but it's less bad

[idle nymph]

win10 works for me and has a more enjoyable UI overall

[inner plank]

I do actually like the Win11 icons and the overall design language isn't horrible. But the UX is just bad... but that applies to all UIs with task bars

[idle nymph]

i just like w10 more overall ngl

cba to update to 11 either so

[inner plank]

I sure can see why

[idle nymph]

its just more smooth idk

[inner plank]

Yeah I guess. Less lag, more performance

[idle nymph]

yeah basically

[versed void]

who tf did 6-7 to linus torvalds

[worthy rain]

hi all

[zealous barn]

can’t wait ngl

[rustic tundra]

it was not microsoft themselves, it was a cut out quote from a developer and it would be stupid if they kept a single windows version without ui updates still looking like some mid 2010s bs for another 10 years

[summer folio]

They didn't protest until Windows 11 was already in beta

[rustic tundra]

at the point where windows 11 was released, 10 was already 6 which is quite long for a windows version considering other windows versions had shorter lifespan until the next one

[oak pier]

win10 lasted for a while

[rustic tundra]

10 is 10 now and it just lost support which is the longest amount a windows version has been supported

[oak pier]

what scares me the most is the shear number of people still on win10

which will only become more insecure over time

it’s only a matter of time until a major exploit is found and utilized

[rustic tundra]

same fate happened with 7 and 8

i dont see people care

[oak pier]

the amount of people that won't update for years to come is greater than it was with win7/8

[rustic tundra]

it has been a big thing in society where people always complain about a newly released version and goon to the previous, when 10 came out they were all complaining and saying how good 7 is, the same is happening with 11 where people prefer 10 even though its the same thing under that fancy ui

[oak pier]

big problem is a lot of older machines flat out don't support win11

[rustic tundra]

rufus

[oak pier]

which isn't something the average user is going to utilize

[rustic tundra]

linus literally made a video on this didnt he?

[oak pier]

I believe so, yes, but that doesn't really fix the problem

[compact swan]

Doesnt change the fact that its too complicated for normal user

[fossil frost]

rufus doesnt make windows 11 support the hardware, it doesnt make the hardware magically develop new features, it just enables the bypasses that ms has in the installer, bypasses that are being switched off, bypasses that mean you dont get feature updates or security updates beyond a select few updates

rufus isnt magic, its just a simple bypass

[rustic tundra]

if they cant use a basic tool then they dont have a the right to complain

[oak pier]

it's not even about complexity, but that the average user doesn't even know that it's a concern

[rustic tundra]

updates install except bug major ones like 24h2 and 25h2

[oak pier]

You say that until your 80 year old grandmother loses her life savings because her laptop she uses to pay her bills is on win10

[fossil frost]

major updates have always been blocked, minor feature updates get blocked now too

[rustic tundra]

since when

[fossil frost]

MS are slowly rolling out more and more blocks to those who installed on unsupported hardware

[rustic tundra]

25h2?

[fossil frost]

since the most recent round of them turning off the usual bypasses

[rustic tundra]

i have 24h2 on a 4th gen pc

latest updates and cant do 25h2

[fossil frost]

good for you

[rustic tundra]

no its bad

25h2 just doesnt pop on update

[harsh quartz]

I’ve asked a couple times at work if we need to update the office computers and the only answer I’ve gotten is a shrug and a “you can update yours if you want”

That seems to be the general attitude

nice bike btw

[fossil frost]

thats the thing that most people dont get about new versions of windows. back when we got wiindows 10, "its shit, its slow, why are you doing this" now, its "windows 10 is so fast, why have you made windows 11 shit".. the new version was built around current hardware ,the old version was built around 5 years ago hardware, current hardware is more powerful than 5 years ago hardware, so 10 will feel better than 11. and in 5 years, 11 will feel better than whatever bullshit that microsoft decides to shart out

[fossil frost]

im pointing out that the whole idea of "android vs apple" is braindead to start with

[sweet bison]

Fr

Android vs ios would be better

[rich cosmos]

Hi o/

[sweet bison]

Still a bs take

All on preference

[fossil frost]

even then, you would need comparable hardware before you could compare.. apple control the hardware, and have a very specific limited set of hardware to target, android has to target a much wider set of hardware

[sweet bison]

Yeah

[fossil frost]

and many android features require specific hardware, same as the ios features

so, channel4 in the uk, they have an ondemand streaming service for all their past programmes, i have ubolite installed, but switched off for their site (because their site is unpredictable with it on).. it now detects the fact that i have it installed, but disabled.. but.... if i enable it, it doesnt detect it, and all the ads are blocked, giving me ad free streaming... so.... fuck them

[quick spindle]

we don't have an apple channel in here do we?

I'm thinking of getting my wife an ipad for drawing and stuff (mostly just drawing with the apple pencil) and I have no clue what i'm doing lol

Hey everyone

I’ve been experimenting with building something different from the usual typing tests, and I ended up creating a full typing RPG experience with levels, skills, PvP duels, and unique game modes.
I’m calling it TypeQuest, and I thought some of you might enjoy trying it out!

Here’s what’s inside:

RPG-style level progression

Falling-text survival mode

PvP typing duels

Story mode

Combos, stamina, accuracy scoring

Seasonal themes (like Christmas mode 🎄)

It’s still early, but fully playable.

Not a help request just sharing a project I’ve been building, and I hope someone here might find it fun or interesting

Cheers

Hi, this is after a couple days , what's the best way to clean this without hurting the $65 case?

I'd use a soft damp cloth with warm water and a little bit of soap, wiping it in a circular motion. Dry with a seperate clean cloth.

[urban thistle]

Hey guys, I’m wondering if I should get my GPU upgraded now and then my CPU upgrade later with the current memory crisis

[dim agate]

Depends on what are your needs right now, what are will you be upgrading from?

[urban thistle]

I7k 12 gen to i9k or ks 14th gen and rx6800 16gb to 4080 super

[dim agate]

I see, I'm assuming you're on DDR4?

[urban thistle]

Yeah, I recently got an upgrade from 32gb DDR4 to 64 at 3600mh

[dim agate]

Gotcha, I see no purpose of an upgrade from an i7 12th gen with 64 gigs of DDR4 at the moment, especially given the memory prices now. Unless you're running super CPU intensive applications, I wouldn't pull the trigger

[urban thistle]

I do run heavy CPU applications. I’m just wondering, which one I should upgrade first

My GPU is usually at 100% to 99 though with the games I play

[dim agate]

Oh, I'd go ahead with the GPU then, for now at least.

[cedar aspen]

is using chris tool to debloat windows ?

[polar fern]

For comparison of my hand size, this is a full sized Apple usb keyboard

[strange elk]

Jesus christ

[polar fern]

OK, it’s just a game though

Helldivers is just a game

[elfin jetty]

Ok

And apple keyboard is just apple keyboard

Whats your point

[polar fern]

It’s actually kind of insane how large these game files are and it’s actually borderline unacceptable. They need to get their code under control.

I was talking about a vertical mouse if you look above in the chat

[strange elk]

I mean yeah, agreed. Still impressive to see anyone actually do it

[polar fern]

I had a Logitech MX vertical, but it had those switches that weren’t rated for use in a mouse and they stopped working

[elfin jetty]

Tbf it was caused by them duplicating a ton of stuff but I still dont understand just how in the hell they got all the way to 153 gigs

[polar fern]

You’d think for $100 mouse with faulty switches they would offer some sort of recall but nope

[elfin jetty]

Thats fucked

[polar fern]

Most modern games are a trash bag of spaghetti code

That’s why they are so huge

[strange elk]

Isnt getting better in most cases

Especially with AI being brought into it

[polar fern]

Don’t even get me started on that oh my gosh

[elfin jetty]

When they can use dlss and framegen as crutches of course it isnt gonna get any better

[winged spire]

My fallout 4 install has 950 mods and over 150gb ontop of the original base game lol

[polar fern]

I don’t need an AI summary on every website that I go to either like holy shit. I have a brain that works thanks.

[elfin jetty]

Thats an entirely new game now

[analog light]

Bethesda games aint all that gng

[winged spire]

I think the base game is like 70gb

[fossil frost]

based on your history in this channel, i would disagree

[strange elk]

You see the latest GNCAInvestigates video? lol

[winged spire]

It’s SHOCKINGLY stable

I’ve crashed like maybe 4 times in 50 hours of playing.l

[strange elk]

Probably dont need to but its funny how shit google is getting with their summaries

When did this start? 2023?

[polar fern]

The fact that there’s one giant game company now is pretty messed up too, and then you have steam taking 30% of everything. ouroboros type shit.

[winged spire]

Steam taking 30% is more than justified

We don’t live in candy land

Things cost money

[strange elk]

Yeah I really hate the subsidization of publishers. It makes me want to avoid all of them.

Steam I dont really have qualms with. They host multiple versions of all the games they host, provide a fast distribution center, have actively been improving Linux gaming as a whole.. I cant attest too much to the publisher side beyond that but its not insubstantial what you gain from being on the platform.

[polar fern]

The fact that each of these new datacenters need a 10 inch water pipe fed to it like it’s a fire hydrant

[winged spire]

Here we go again 🥱

[polar fern]

Steam can eat a blank. I should not have to have an account to access a game that I paid for.

[fossil frost]

then dont use steam, use something else

[strange elk]

Then buy from gog, unfortunately not everyone publishes there (or can from what I hear sometimes)

Or the site itself which almost nobody provides

[winged spire]

Steam is absolutely what makes pc indie games have any chance of being successful

[polar fern]

Yeah, there’s a bunch of titles on there that I’m looking to purchase, but I’m on disability with super limited funds and resources so I have to be very careful with what I do spend money on.

[fossil frost]

OP is a troll, they just like to complain and shit stir

[strange elk]

Its not like DRM free doesnt exist on steam anyway

[winged spire]

They’re bug bombing my apartment building tomorrow

My classes start tomorrow as well

[polar fern]

Just the idea of a company existing just to extract money from game developers is not something I can morally or ethically agree with.

[winged spire]

wtf am I gonna do with James

[strange elk]

Meh. Im gonna like the SteamFrame I think, if the price is right.

[winged spire]

Pretending steam doesn’t do anything and just taps money out of developers might be your worst take ever

[polar fern]

Plus, they also have lots of user data on which games people have and how many hours they have in each game location IP address all that crap it’s super creepy no thanks

[strange elk]

lol

[winged spire]

Fantasy land

[strange elk]

every website ever like

[polar fern]

Yes, I know some people would happily tear off all of their clothing in public to get that cookie on display in the window, but that ain’t me

[strange elk]

Its not like solutions for these things dont exist either

Maybe not for all games (or within ToS technically) but

[polar fern]

Yeah, just not use anything to do with valve or a steam. Am I missing out on stuff? probably. do I care? nope. Too many kids were raised by parents who gave them the candy instead of let them wait till after dinner based on the state of our society currently. A little bit of self-control goes a long, long, long way..

😎

[harsh quartz]

wait what the fuck

if thats possible... how was it that bad to begin with?

[polar fern]

Because developers are focused on release dates instead of optimized software.

[strange elk]

laughs in GTA VI

[fossil frost]

instead of complaining and crying into the void.. do something about it, make your own games

[polar fern]

and other developers are focused on collecting your personal information and then they don’t care how secure/polished their shit is.

[harsh quartz]

laughs in devs dont make release dates

[winged spire]

I do wonder how many people that complain about this that have actually ever been employed anywhere

Because like… not a unique experience

[polar fern]

OK, I need to make some tea. Hopefully, it will help my outrageous sinus pain.

[fossil frost]

PO/PM's make release dates, devs are made to stick to them

[harsh quartz]

i am curious if this will be an outlier or if there will be a new effort to shrink game sizes, since there does seem to be a lot of pushback on huge game sizes in recent years

They found ribose

[fossil frost]

(de)compression eats cpu cycles, those cpu cycles can be used instead of optimisation

[harsh quartz]

is this increasing compression or just getting rid of duplicate data increasing the amount of reads the game has to do?

[strange elk]

Think the latter from whats described here

[harsh quartz]

thats my assumption as well. and it does mention HDD load times have gone up slightly due to increased reads but not a major amount

[strange elk]

Also I dont think it would increase reads, more stuff can be stored in memory is more what Im thinking since theres literally less data to parse
That said not 100% on how all this works

[fossil frost]

both. most assets are shipped uncompressed now, because you can stream the asset direclly from the drive to memory, and operate on them directly.. and with the new MS DX stuff where the cpu can pass stuff directly from the drive to the gpu vram.. if you have them compressed, you have to first decompress them via cpu and perform that slow operation first

[harsh quartz]

they do say it increased load times for HDD which i assume means it affected the amount of reads its doing

[strange elk]

Weird.

[harsh quartz]

probably just has to find it elsewhere on the drive if its not duplicated into a certain portion of the game

[fossil frost]

the higher the level of the compression, the more that you would need to decompress, the more time that takes

[harsh quartz]

the post doesnt mention compression, doesnt mean they havent changed it, but it does exclusively speak about data duplication

also thats really cool that they made this version just load different but run the same game, so its not like a public beta environment or something

[strange elk]

So the main reason they had data duplication is I assume because of people running the game on HDDs..?

[harsh quartz]

thats the reason given,

[fossil frost]

data duplication is to keep assets near where they are being used, with HDDs and before that, blurays and dvds and CDs... it was less wasteful to have multiple copies of certain data than it was to try and work around that... the problem with todays games is that they are built by people who only just finished writing games that had to run from a bluray, not just install from, but run from... so its still a thing, its false optimisation these days

[strange elk]

Wonder if Im the first linux user on the slim build

Actually holy shit this is running better I think

Wish I recorded my previous performance

Eh. Hitches in game though

[teal estuary]

its false optimisation these days
its not that simple

even SSDs can benefit from data duplication, its generally a lot less worth it, but it does still matter

[fossil frost]

i oversimplified, as somebody who is one of those people who came from building software that runs on a CD

[teal estuary]

i currently beat my head into HDD's performance, so, i also deal with this problem

[oak veldt]

uhh guys i think i got banned from chatgpt

[zealous barn]

Here we go!

[rare otter]

Ngl i feel like its better to buy an office card like a qualdro k2200 then buying a budget gaming card for the same price

[strange elk]

or idk

an rx 580 maybe if your target performance is that low

hell an APU might do you at that point

[covert cradle]

this doesn't plug directly into the PSU. It plugs into another cable that would be connected to the PSU. The cable connected to your GPU likely has spares outputs on it, but you could connect another PSU PCIe cable too so that the GPU has dedicated cabling.

[unique escarp]

is gpi shortage starting? cuz I might wanna just pick up a 5070, I have a 3060ti rn

[rare otter]

Not for 20$ or below

Especially if your talking about a card that doesn't require external power

I was in same 3060Ti boat and decided to jump for an msrp 9070 XT with the 20% PayPal discount. The memory news had me pretty pessimistic on buying a GPU in another month or two when I would’ve preferred.

[vapid smelt]

I was waiting with my 5700xt for the new super refresh then with the AI news I bought a $610 9070xt $480 ish with Amazon points

[teal estuary]

with Amazon points
prime visa points?

if so, use those for cashback or a statement credit instead

then you also get 5% back on the points value

so, you'd get 5% back on $610, rather than $480, gotta get all the rewards

[vapid smelt]

🤔

[vapid smelt]

Depends how old you are

[unkempt dome]

did linux ever review this thingy or something similar?

[vapid smelt]

The operating system never reviewed that
