[main palm]

Anyone know if its possible to use 1 pc to run 2 different games for 2 different people simultaneously? My pc I'd say is powerful enough to run two instances of older games like dying light 1. My little brother's laptop is very weak and can at most run roblox. Is there any way to make it so I play one game and he plays another streamed from my pc to his laptop, and we both simultaneously control our own games via keyboard and mouse?

Random q, we have a old pc now only has a 1060 3gb GPU, Ryzen 5 1600, 16gb 2600mhz ram. We both want to get laptops but nothing over the top.....is the Intel Arc graphics, AMD Radeon 890m but a massive change? My partner plays SIMs 4 and Baldurs Gate 3, I play FM26 and WoW / GW2

[pulsar kiln]

My 2026 prediction is that nvidia exits the consumer business. They will not release any consumer GPUs in 2026.

Starlink is beginning a significant reconfiguration of its satellite constellation focused on increasing space safety.  We are lowering all @Starlink satellites orbiting at ~550 km to ~480 km (~4400 satellites) over the course of 2026.  The shell lowering is being tightly coordinated with other operators, regulators, and USSPACECOM. 
︀︀
︀︀Lowering the satellites results in condensing Starlink orbits, and will increase space safety in several ways.  As solar mininum approaches, atmospheric density decreases which means the ballistic decay time at any given altitude increases - lowering will mean a >80% reduction in ballistic decay time in solar minimum, or 4+ years reduced to a few months.  Correspondingly, the number of debris objects and planned satellite constellations is significantly lower below 500 km, reducing the aggregate likelihood of collision.

Someone in this community is harassing me how do I contact the mods

[fossil frost]

you just tag them into the evidence... @ mod (without the space)

[restive lion]

Don't tell me that

[alpine gale]

What @fossil frost said above. You alert us to the situation using the @mod tag in the channel where the #rules or Discord Terms of Service / Community Guidelines violation is happening. If reportable behavior occurs outside of this Discord Guild, like a DM that violates Discord's Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, I recommend reporting it. https://discord.com/safety/360044103651-reporting-abusive-behavior-to-discord

no option to solo or play with bots

or somethiing

noone wants to do the first setup on the first heist released 15 yeaers ago

[graceful matrix]

Sadly stuck on that

[winged spire]

yep

I wanna do the all in order thing on hard

if you do all the base heists with the same crew on hard without dying once you get like 16 mil each plus the cash from the heists themselve

in order

[plain gale]

gta online has gone rather dead imo since the enhanced update. split the playerbase cause a lot of accounts couldnt upgrade

[graceful matrix]

I don't want enhanced

I want original looks

[plain gale]

i didnt talk about only enhanced

[graceful matrix]

And split

Where is this happening INSIDE of this Discord Guild? If it's not happening here, we can't do anything about it.

It's not happening in this discord guild

It is in every video???

But always other music

Its like that quiet that you have to hold the speaker to your ear

[hot bobcat]

hey guys i wanna split my pcie x16 slot on my itx mobo to 2 x8 what product do i need to get for it

[fossil frost]

depends.. but on a consumer board, you are probably SOL before you start

[hot bobcat]

i have a b760i if that helps with anything

[alpine gale]

First, your motherboard needs to support PCIe bifurcation. Check the specifications to see if it does.

[fossil frost]

there are carrier cards that DONT require bifurcation, PLX chip on the carrier, but those are usually ONLY for NVME

[hot bobcat]

just googled it and it says it dosnt fully support it what dose that mean

[fossil frost]

SOL

[hot bobcat]

what is sol ?

[alpine gale]

It means you can't "split" your PCIe slots without what @fossil frost said above.

[fossil frost]

Shit Out-of Luck

[hot bobcat]

dam

i wanted to get a splitter so i can run my gpu and a capture card but now i cant

[fossil frost]

use a USB capture card. they are fine

[hot bobcat]

but i wanna capture my gamecube and there arnt many good usb capture cards

[fossil frost]

tbh, you are probably gonna be better off getting a gamecube style usb controller, and using an emulator.. or.. usb capture card. and they are all plenty for capturing a gamecube

[main isle]

hello

[polar fern]

Well that was fun

Roads were so icy earlier after a random snow squall that I spun the car on black ice under the snow 4 times going to get gas like a mile away.

thankfully, no damage and I am OK.

[rare otter]

Call of duty warzone is so horribly unoptimized that it pushed my grandma down a flight of stairs

Like bro. I know the nvidia titan x is from 2015 but its ruffely on par with the 3060

So there's no way it should struggle to get 60 fps with low settings and high textures

May I mind you

The card has 12 GIGS OF V RAM

Its more then capable

But the games optimization is fucking garbage and has to rely on frame gen and fsr

[pallid falcon]

Maybe your gran just saw your trash K.D. ratio and slipped running away from disappointment

[rare otter]

Nah its not the player. Its the games shit optimization

[pallid falcon]

Only issue i have a the long ass compiling shaders and sometimes directx crash

[rare otter]

What card do you have

[manic plume]

hello

[rare otter]

Cause if you have a 5080 or 5090

You dont count for this convo

Since those gpus are fuckjng beast's

[manic plume]

I know linus mentioned a newegg affiliate link in a recent WAN show but I can't find it. anybody know it by chance? unless affiliate links are temporary maybe?

[pallid falcon]

4080

[rare otter]

And how much fps foes it get?

[pallid falcon]

Enough

I dont play with fps count on becsuse I dont have a reason

[rare otter]

Still you gotta see where im coming from tho. Isn't it bullshit how a card with 12 gigs of v ram is struggling cause cods absolutely ass optimization?

[rare otter]

You dont use ai upscaling do you?

Like fsr or dlss?

[pallid falcon]

The defaults?

[rare otter]

Its enabled by default

[viscid elm]

compiling shaders is a cpus job

[rare otter]

Turn that shit off and see what happens..... the game will just shit itself

[viscid elm]

cpu compiles shaders

[rare otter]

I got a Intel Core i5-6400 with a nvidia titan x maxwell

Im ight.

Not the most high end system but it does then job for litterallt everything except warzone

[pallid falcon]

Then keep it on..?

[rare otter]

My point is that the game is so poorly optimized and the development team didnt give 2 shits about it to the point where they would rather have ai do a piss poor job of it then do it themselfs

[gritty jackal]

Hi

[pallid falcon]

Don't really care for bo6 or 7

Mainly for use of ai assets and art

That's that I mostly care about.

[rustic tundra]

8th gen and up is what i recommend people to use in intel

[viscid elm]

well anything lower aint supported by windows 11

[rustic tundra]

thats the point

ms is right with those requirements

[viscid elm]

but for any semi modern game i would try to get on at least 12th gen

[rustic tundra]

10th gen can do

[viscid elm]

from 8th to 11th i have tested tons and tons but always is wonky

[rustic tundra]

for anything modern its either 12th to series 2

preferably 14th gen to series 2

[rare otter]

I only play warzone and the original cod games on ps3

Cod ghost is peak

[pallid falcon]

My favorite is bo2.

[rare otter]

Im having to use lossless scaling

To get around 60

Im reinstalling warzone cause warzone on steam just dont work right

So im installing it on battlenet

[pallid falcon]

Oh I didn't install steam cod

[olive saddle]

On launch- buy 17 pro max

getting home with 75%+ battery, i don't take many pictures, ehhh
return phone, get Air

love air for 2 months. got used to speaker/camera, and battery was fine. felt FANTASTIC in the hand and pocket.

but DAMN it just kept cooking itself if I did ANYTHING. like 3-5 screen dimming level overheating events a day

swap for 17 pro today

(its still overheated once today lmao)

[oak pier]

what are you doing with your phone

[olive saddle]

nothing crazy which was the issue

just the "normal stuff", I don't even play games or edit videos or anything

only thing is I'm on the developer beta, but even still I was surprised at how little the load needed to be to hit a thermal throttle

[oak pier]

you're on the developer beta, and surprised that you're seeing issues?

[olive saddle]

Being on the developer beta doesn't all of a sudden make apples cooling solution any worse

if they're gonna tout a vaper chamber and switch back to an aluminm chassis all in the name of thermals, I don't think ANYTHING other than a sustained absolute 100% power draw should get even close to thermal throttling

[oak pier]

Being on the developer beta does mean that the operating system is far less optimized than other options, plus the environment in which the phone is in matters a lot for the effectiveness of the cooling solution

what kind of temperature environment, and what applications are you actually using

[winged spire]

I don’t believe you

For mining purposes, sure. what exactly are you expecting to plug-in to the PCIe adapter and for what purpose?

[hot bobcat]

i wasnt gona use it to mine lol i wanna find a way to use expansion cards externally for the time being till i get my new pc set up

also is there a ram adapter that i can use so i can use my ddr 4 ram on a ddr 5 motherbord

wait really that sucks

i do not wanna pay 600 plus for 32gb of ram

[alpine gale]

Nobody does. And yet, here we are.

in your opinion, is the 5060, intel core i5 12400f and 32gb ram good?

[dawn pivot]

you should totally get 5060 ti instead of regular 5060

8gb vram is not that great

are you buying the 32gb now? If so, it’s gonna be expensive

I don’t know much about intel CPUs

[woven cradle]

ive already got the pc built

but i will upgrade the gpu and cpu

[dawn pivot]

ooo nice!

what’s up with the reactions @fossil frost? Do you disagree?

[dawn pivot]

the 5060 is still great, no need to upgrade unless you want more fps

[woven cradle]

yeah fair

i will in the future

but for now it will work

I like to talk in my female voice to troll lonely men into giving me various game currencies

[wind violet]

Don’t hate the player, hate the game

[wind violet]

Guys, let’s be completely honest with each other. Are adults who play Roblox not inherently pdfs

You gotta be a absolute creeper to be on that game if ur above the age of 18

[viscid elm]

its like saying a parent at their child's birthday party is a pdf

just because children are there it does not mean you are a pdf

[wind violet]

Yes but most of them don’t have boundaries on a game with a majority of children playing

[north escarp]

Never played tbh

[wind violet]

You’d understand why I say this if you’ve literally never seen some of the games

There’s some social games that people make

And if you’ve ever seen clips there’s kids and adults playing

And you’ll see them trying to edate each other not knowing each of their ages the majority of the time

[north escarp]

Gross

[wind violet]

Just a very small instance but stuff like that is very rampant

If I meet someone who’s 18 plus who plays Roblox I will automatically be suspicious

[static perch]

I've never tried roblox but that sounds like a weak argument.
people can play whatever they want

[north escarp]

proceeds to play bubble pop

[wind violet]

Even just see their avatars, a lot of them are super sexual and there will be kids present or the kids themselves will wear it like a child having a “I love milfs” shirt

Or an avatar with big obvious bazingas and they’re like 11

[viscid elm]

i think that is more a issue with the parents/children themselves

[wind violet]

No you’re an adult enough to know not to be around a bunch of children and have an avatar with ur meat out

[viscid elm]

i remember the time i saw some 13 or 14 year old at school with a special anime shirt on

[north escarp]

So uhh, why do you play it? If its such a creep game?

Genuine question

[wind violet]

I don’t I’ve seen plenty of clips

Never touched it

It’s a game for weirdos who pray on kids

[north escarp]

Looks wack from what ive seen, anyhows

[viscid elm]

tbh you can do a lot of bad stuff as long as a game is online and you can chat with other players

[wind violet]

Yes but Roblox is the absolute worst offender

They don’t moderate enough

[north escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/flexer-go-go-go-minecraft-minecraft-horse-minecraft-horse-360-360-gif-13422982177731837373

[wind violet]

If they even moderate at all

[north escarp]

Proper block game^ and with rtx looks neats

[viscid elm]

US rules are such a pain

[wind violet]

If you’re a parent and knowingly let your kid play Roblox though you’re just allowing them to be groomed

Absolutely no safety net, exchanging discord handles makes it even worse as well

[viscid elm]

what about minecraft

[north escarp]

You leave my block game alone mkayy

[wind violet]

Servers r fairly good at moderating it’s not the same whatsoever

[dim steppe]

New pfp

[wind violet]

They have a strong Eula. In fact I’m friends with a eula moderator who works for mojang

They do far more

[viscid elm]

the server would need moderators, you can put on a 18+ skin and from what i remember last time i used it no censoring of bad works or phone numbers

[static perch]

a eula is meanless in the end
nobody is reading that stuff anyway

[wind violet]

Yes, but the majority of kids don’t have access to such small servers that there’s little to no moderation, there’s also realms, and believe it or not those have moderators who enforce rules

[dusky jacinth]

And it's problematic for servers where it makes no sense to enforce it too, which Mojang is apparently made to enforce anyway.

[wind violet]

Mojang moderates realms, prettt sure they have somewhat of a chat filtering moderation

[harsh quartz]

it doesnt matter when you can always direct conversation off platform

[wind violet]

This take also doesn’t matter because if you’ve ever seen gameplay of Roblox it’s obvious it’s easiest place on the planet to groom

Avatars aren’t moderated, nor the chat, voice, usernames or the games people make

[harsh quartz]

so anyone that plays it is inherently a terrible person with horrible intentions?

[wind violet]

None of this matters the probability of them being a pdf is very high

I’d say more than the average game

[harsh quartz]

honestly this sounds like a really bad ragebait

[wind violet]

And if you think it’s rage bait to not like a game filled to the brim with kids and adults who prey on such kids then you’re probably one too for defending it. Find another game 🤷‍♂️

[harsh quartz]

yeah imma just <@&750150305383186585>

[wind violet]

Tons of adult oriented games

Kinda weird but whatever weird hill you want to die on I guess

[dim steppe]

I been playing Roblox since 2007

[full fossil]

Now servers more active. Thoughts on hw-c450 samsung soundbar with wireless sub?

[worldly plume]

Dang a OG

[neon mesa]

Damn, I don't know playing my usual roblox game which only got 60 players where you can only spawn as planes and tanks means I'm defending diddling.

[wind violet]

It’s okay buddy. The first step is to always admit the obvious. Proud of ya

[worldly plume]

I started 2020

[dawn pivot]

😭

that’s a thing?

thought ti was only 16gb

and regular 8gb

[barren badge]

can someone help me?

ive been trying to reinstall and reset my pc but i cant

[worldly plume]

Why

[barren badge]

gta 5 wont work

so my only option left is to reinstall windows

[worldly plume]

Any errors

[barren badge]

some dirextx error, basically tried everything to fix it but, nothing works

so a clean reinstall is my only option

[wanton swallow]

how come I cant post anything

any mods on?

[worldly plume]

What gpu do you have

[barren badge]

amd rx 580

[worldly plume]

Should be good enough

[barren badge]

yeah but gta does not work

so i need help reinstalling

[oak pier]

Gotta link your ltt forum acc ffor all the extra permissions

[viscid elm]

install legacy 😐

the new one needs dx 12 ultimate aka rx 6000 or better or rtx anything

[graceful matrix]

*Loading gifs

[worldly plume]

RT doesnt make it look better tbh, I play with RT on high and it looks nearly the same

[viscid elm]

cewl

[quartz dew]

hmm whats a good ddr4 supported budget cpu these days

[worldly plume]

R5 5600?

I have that one

Runs like a charm with my RX9060XT

[barren badge]

its the legacy

the legacy does not work

[viscid elm]

what error do you get

[quartz dew]

cheers

just helping my friend with a budget build and he can reuse his old ddr4 memory (not ideal but owell)

[viscid elm]

i would also have a look on the intel side

a 14900k supports ddr4 but uh used they do come with risks

a 14600k is a pretty nice cpu

[rose cargo]

Legacy should defo work on an rx580, if you have the 8gb version give Enhanced a shot

[barren badge]

heres a screenshot (nvm)

nevermind, cant upload screenshots here

[rose cargo]

where aree you launching the game from?

[barren badge]

steam

[quartz dew]

im seeing better prices on the amd side, plus theres an easy upgrade option to the x3d in the future if he becomes less strapped for cash

[barren badge]

where can i upload my screenshot?

[rose cargo]

open rockstar launcher then launch from there, if that doesnt work, you could reinstall the rockstar launcher, clear steams cache

[viscid elm]

the am4 X3D cpus have not been made for like 2 years now

[barren badge]

ok i will try this right now.

[viscid elm]

right now a ton of the X3D am4 cpus are sitting at about 400$+ most places

[quartz dew]

i meant used but yes

he's currently on a gtx 1070 and a i5 6600 or something

i think he's gonna get a b580 and i have an old i7 6800k lying around, but realistically i think anything from uhh this decade would be better for a cpu

[viscid elm]

well being able to use windows 11 without messing around with stuff is nice

also you would need to flash a custom bios to turn on rebar

intel gpu and no rebar is no good

[quartz dew]

thats a good call

ugh maybe i just drop like $800 and buy a 5070ti and give him my 3070 at this point

[viscid elm]

gpus aint getting cheaper this year

[quartz dew]

i havent paid attention in a while

wtf is a core ultra

[viscid elm]

intels new chips

[quartz dew]

ah they changed the naming after what 15 generations

[viscid elm]

i would not use it as it only gets one generation maybe a refresh but that is about it and you need a new motherboard.

14th

[quartz dew]

hmm well i can get a ryzen 5 5500 for like $100

[pliant karma]

Yea I am holding out on them for a bit to see what they're cooking up. Lol at this point I am begging my current 5900x system to last a tad longer.

[quartz dew]

b580 for $250

@viscid elm probably gonna go with this (canadian) https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/wwMWMC

[prisma hollow]

i started watching LTT as a joke / to learn how to swap out pc parts, now i own a screwdriver…

[silver sun]

711

[worldly plume]

what

[silver sun]

i like the store

[worldly plume]

Ah I have never been to one

[silver sun]

na, jk, i'm just counting

i have never been to one too

[worldly plume]

ah

[silver sun]

yeah, we don't have one here

[worldly plume]

same

[quartz dew]

its a good screwdriver tbf

i've found the rest of their stuff kinda hit or miss in quality

[loud blaze]

I work as a service engineer, hvac industry, always wanted one but never got one cause i feel like ill be laughed at for using something like that

[quartz dew]

do people care about what screwdrive you use tho

[simple turret]

Hi

[prisma hollow]

one of my friends has one n he said it was pretty solid , but if it rlly like it i’ll most likely get the smaller one for my keyboard builds

[quartz dew]

i got one on sale, pretty good, idk if i'd pay full price tho

[scarlet flame]

This might seem out there but there's one thing that's bugging me

[prisma hollow]

gotta get ur coworkers to hear you out

[loud blaze]

Probably, it looks bulky, a lot of people use Wera Kraftform turbo

[scarlet flame]

If linus married an Asian which he did does he follow the no shoes in household rule most Asians commit to

[prisma hollow]

i definitely shoulda waited but i also had the money burning a hole in my pocket 💀

[quartz dew]

we dont wear shoes inside in canada

[scarlet flame]

Oh

Do you mop the floors often to not have to worry about it?

And is it true you wear sneakers to sleep?

Won't you tract dirt from your shoes onto ur floors

[quartz dew]

we >dont< wear shoes inside

[scarlet flame]

Oh wait

[loud blaze]

No u wait

[scarlet flame]

I read that wrong

I also double checked his videos just now while this intrusive thought came up

It seems he wears shoes inside

[quartz dew]

which video tho

[loud blaze]

Top ones are socks?

[scarlet flame]

In everything wrong with my house

Jake is wearing socks

But linus is wearing is shoes

[vapid smelt]

Jake is not in those photos

[scarlet flame]

Well that's jake

In the left on the bottom

[loud blaze]

Jake on left?

[quartz dew]

might be more an exception than a rule

if you're going indoors/outdoors/garage a bunch then yeah you just leave it on, but only if its your own place typically

[scarlet flame]

So linus is breaking cultural norms he sets new records

like his socks on sandals

But I'm just thinking about it

[quartz dew]

i woudlnt think too hard about it

[scarlet flame]

Shoes in the living room is wild

[loud blaze]

Bro about to have an aneurism

It’s okay, im sure they’d cleaned after

[scarlet flame]

I mean that's probably true

If linus freaks out about cable management I'm sure he'd freak if his floor had dirt on it

Honestly tho if anyone saw my cable management on my pc it's atrocious

modular power supply is the greatest thing to every exist

But it's out of budget for me

[vapid smelt]

Ahh I was thinking the kendo img

[scarlet flame]

I really need a new mobo soon tho

[quartz dew]

rip jake

[solemn goblet]

Let’s gooo. My iron level went from 19 to a 38.

[scarlet flame]

My cpu and GPU and storage is being Hella bottlenecked by my b450m

[solemn goblet]

I’m no longer iron deficient

[quartz dew]

consider eating food

[scarlet flame]

Genetically?

Nice I'm predisposed to iron diffiency

It runs in the family

Too much matcha will cook me

[solemn goblet]

Eating food isn’t enough to cure iron deficiency lmao

[quartz dew]

buy some of those iron fish

[solemn goblet]

I’m taking iron supplements

[scarlet flame]

💀

Having a rx6600 running on pci3 is a terrible move

Since the card only uses 8 lanes

Instead of 16

[quartz dew]

sigh im mulling over whether or not to get an rtx 5070ti for msrp or not

[scarlet flame]

It's a pci 4 card which runs on 8 lanes only

and my GPU is bottlenecked by my motherboard cuz of that

Same with my ram and my r7 5800x

[harsh quartz]

if iron how float

[scarlet flame]

Personally I would never want to switch from GPU vendor

[pliant karma]

I got mines when they first launched on the first batch, but 4 years later it's still holding after some gouges and scratches.

[quartz dew]

its on a spoon

[scarlet flame]

Like now that I'm on amd it's amd forever

[pliant karma]

The handle is really worn in and polished/smooth at this point.

[scarlet flame]

I don't care if ddu exists

[harsh quartz]

not always on spood

[scarlet flame]

It's just a hassle and a half to get it running stable when you switch

I could never get Nvidia in this economy tho

There's Nvidia tax in my country

[harsh quartz]

the black as worn off in some places on mine but altogether its held up pretty well

[pliant karma]

It does work as a hammer as a last resort

[scarlet flame]

Lmao

Also when is the ltt socket wrench coming

[pliant karma]

Reminds me USPS is delivering the Cryo Teal one today, I finally caved and ordered a second one when I originaly told myself to order the noctua one.

Which is not in stock atm.

[harsh quartz]

i thought it was fairly funny, my sister came to town a few weeks ago and needed a screwdriver to set the sights on her rifles red dot, only screwdriver avaliable was the tech one :P

[scarlet flame]

Did she take it home with her

As in steal it or nah

[harsh quartz]

i made sure to take it back after the range, too fuckin expensive for her to take

[scarlet flame]

Honestly I can't see the appeal in a ratcheting screwdriver

[harsh quartz]

sounds like someone whos never used a ratcheting screwdriver

[scarlet flame]

Ive used one before and it's not easy to get used to

I prefer traditional screwdrivers

[harsh quartz]

its not exactly hard to get used to

[scarlet flame]

I just use my finger held against the top of the screwdriver to spin the screwdriver and then hand tightening for tight

[pliant karma]

Yea it was easy. I got a reason though...literally any student that took the tv production class at my college can't handle a powertool properly without stripping the screw or pushing it too far in a regular old screwdriver will just stripe itself and the screw even more

[loud blaze]

Anyone have any input on apple Magic Keyboard, just picked one up.. build quality seems good but not too sure how good iPad OS is to be using it as a “laptop”

[pliant karma]

The only screwdriver that has managed to get the stuck screws out while building the sets was my screwdriver lol

[scarlet flame]

It's not

Apple​ may tout it as a laptop occasionally but it's really not

[alpine gale]

Are you looking for feedback on the keyboard, or on using iOS for productivity similar to a laptop?

[scarlet flame]

iOS for productivity isn't viable

Only thing it's viable for is art

[loud blaze]

Both i guess, just email discord /teams and excel

[scarlet flame]

Oh that use case I think will be fine

[loud blaze]

Just tabs seem clunky atm compared to MacBook

[scarlet flame]

But it depends on what iPad Gen ur using and the iPad os version ur on

[loud blaze]

iPad pro 13” m4 iOS 26.2

[scarlet flame]

cuz I've heard they are trying to improve it for those who use the magic keyboard

[pliant karma]

I use mines for script supervision and a seeing the live image from RED/Sony cameras. Sometimes ingesting photos from sd cards, but no keyboard at all.

[loud blaze]

I dont store anything on the iPad like files, i have a shared box on my windows laptop over WiFi that i put it all to

Idk min too boomer for this stuff man, this was a late Xmas present and i dont know if i like it haha

[pliant karma]

Use to use my ipad air M2 alot but yea I rarely pull it out unless I am going on set at this point.

[prisma hollow]

hard agree even as an apple user even their computers n laptops aren’t the best for productivity at least for me having a macbook is what made me want an actual pc

[pliant karma]

Minus watching endurance motorsport throughout the year like usual.

[prisma hollow]

that’s so real i dead only use my ipad when i was building my pc to follow tutorials or im on a trip

[loud blaze]

iPad while away from home for Netflix is Amazing, hotel tv sucks

[scarlet flame]

My friend bought a MacBook just before the M came out

He hated it so much I also hate it

Any sort of program took a solid 5 business days

Also forget compiling anything without having a stuttering mouse

[fossil frost]

the only real difference at the time was battery life, and a slight uplift in some workloads. same as any single gen change, difference between the last gen intel macs and the m4 macs, is like the difference between any 4-5 gen change... noticable

[scarlet flame]

The M series arm chips honestly saved apple

[fossil frost]

funny, because i built software all the time on an i5 6600, was fine

[scarlet flame]

well idk man it ran like a hunk of junk for me and him

Even normal apps like Spotify ran like trash

[prisma hollow]

i had mine for when i was in school doing graphic design and every single assignment was turned in late due to how slow it was

[scarlet flame]

yeah I figured

[fossil frost]

ah, didnt realise i was involving myself in a conversation between children lying to each other for no reason other than they are on discord.. ill head back out

[loud blaze]

My kid just got a m4 MacBook Air for music stuff, plays guitar and makes music on logic something, i just open discord and excel 😅 😅

[alpine gale]

I just connect my laptop / tablet to the Hotel TV's HDMI port. 🤷

[scarlet flame]

I'm honestly annoyed at how trends have gone in my country for video productivity like shorts, reels and full on videos tho

[pliant karma]

lol I still have my 2017 ipad pro burn in spot in the middle but still works minus the really degraded battery.

[fossil frost]

i have a raspberry pi 3 with kodi on it for that 😄

[scarlet flame]

I don't like adobes way of pricing and doing things but I like premiere pro

capcut becoming industry standard here is not great

I genuinely hate it so much

[fossil frost]

vote with your wallet, or, deal with it

[scarlet flame]

Well no it's company policy to use capcut

I can't install premiere pro

[cerulean canopy]

use davinci resolve

[scarlet flame]

I have premiere pro on my personal stuff from my student accounts

[fossil frost]

because its free, and people are growing up with it, they can use it and learn it, on their phones, for free, company uses it because people who they have working for them, use it

[scarlet flame]

But I can only edit on site so it's pretty much over

[scarlet flame]

Uhhh I don't know about that one chief

[scarlet flame]

I also don't like capcut either

[fossil frost]

my 14yo son taught themselves davinci resolve in a weekend, to the point where they stopped using capcut, and can do everything they did in capcut, in resolve instead now, and more

[pliant karma]

ay that is nice

[cerulean canopy]

whats wrong boss

[scarlet flame]

I've heard that if you upload any footage to their cloud storage they have the right to use the footage for whatever

[viscid elm]

so do not do it?

[fossil frost]

so.. dont upload to their cloud storage..

[viscid elm]

also i know for a fact it is for adobe

[scarlet flame]

I meant their policy as well

[viscid elm]

what?

[fossil frost]

their policy is that they straight up tell you, instead of not telling you and then doing it anyway, which is what everyone else does

[cerulean canopy]

and davinci resolve studio is one time payment to get extra features

base is free

[scarlet flame]

I haven't really looked into davinci Resolve since I've mostly used premiere pro for editing il have to look into it for when I graduate and lose access to adobe

[fossil frost]

and thats only IF you need them... most people wont ever need them

[viscid elm]

and does not have enough CVEs to where i have no clue why its still used

[cerulean canopy]

yes ofc

[viscid elm]

i swear adobe shit is just swiss cheese when it comes to security

[cerulean canopy]

do it before so you can compare

[sacred crow]

Good morning

[scarlet flame]

Capcut does have a lot of pre-made effects though which I can say is a plus

[fossil frost]

when you are the defacto standard in places like disney.. you dont have to be secure, you have enough of a userbase locked in, to where you could literally leak the next film, and still have them locked in forever

[viscid elm]

davinci too

[scarlet flame]

Every experience I've had with after effects has been rooted in crazy lag and long rendering

[viscid elm]

yup that is a major pain point

[sacred crow]

where is the help support channel if anyone knows?

[sacred crow]

oh thank you

[viscid elm]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424

[fossil frost]

if you cant just look at the channel list, and see it.. whatever it is you are asking, we cant help you with

[sacred crow]

i just have an issue with my mp3 player that’s all

[viscid elm]

wut

[scarlet flame]

Oh I looked up davinci

It's all unified? Effects making and video editing?

[viscid elm]

yea

[fossil frost]

you were just shitting on it a few minutes ago, yet you know nothing about it?

[scarlet flame]

Oh that's actually a plus

I shat on capcut and adobe

I think you need to be fact checked

[fossil frost]

ah, capcut, the conversation carried on from resolve, i assumed you were on about that

[scarlet flame]

Ah no

I remember when I first looked into editing tho I heard davinci was mostly meant for apple not windows

Is there any truth to that or not anymore

[viscid elm]

has there ever been

i feel like davinci started with windows

davinci even supports linux (without AAC so kinda cant be bothered to use it)

[alpine gale]

Uh... never really been a thing. Davinci products have worked well on MacOS and Windows for as long as I recall.

[fossil frost]

davinci runs better on linux that it does on windows. for me at least

[viscid elm]

davinci was also a pain to install on arch

and not sure if it even works

[fossil frost]

"tar xzf davinci-download.tar.gz -C /opt" wasnt hard for me on ubuntu 🙂

[viscid elm]

it worked on ubuntu i know

[scarlet flame]

Does anyone get annoyed by the fact that aac and ldac isnt supported natively by windows and our only option for that is aa2dp if I remember the name

I paid big bucks for it and I'd say it's worth it because my earbuds has head tracking and has dimensional audio

[fossil frost]

LDAC isnt, but i bought this when i DID use windows, and it was noticeably better when i used it https://www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/

[scarlet flame]

Standard sbc just straight up broke it on windows compared to using it on android

I like the app but I don't like the fact it's not open sourced

and it's not cheap either

[pliant karma]

Lol I forget I have the full studio version of Davinci when my college was getting rid of the physical cards with the codes on them.

[fossil frost]

you wont get an open sourced windows driver. and its $10... ive had coffees that cost more than that

[scarlet flame]

Ten dollars equates to 6 meals here

[fossil frost]

where is "here"?

[wanton swallow]

follow my first ever build

ah ok, fair enough

[scarlet flame]

My monthly wage is like 8 hours of work minimum wage

In the us

[alpine gale]

No, I get annoyed at the fact that Bluetooth is just like USB-C: there's a specification to follow, but because many features are optional, almost nobody implements things as consumers expect, which makes me very disappointed when (not if) a Bluetooth device is flakey.
https://web.archive.org/web/20240528224621/https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/5/16426754/pixel-2-headphone-jack-bluetooth-walled-garden

Bluetooth problems I have had
Every one of these things has happened to me repeatedly in the past six weeks:

1. I receive a phone call and it automatically plays through a Bluetooth speaker in another room which I thought was disconnected
2. My wife cannot pair to a Bluetooth speaker until she restarts her iPhone
3. My wife is using a Bluetooth speaker with her phone and my phone takes it over with a phone call
4. Multiple Bluetooth devices fight to be connected at once, and I have to unpair one to get the one I want to work
5. Hitting “connect” on the Bluetooth screen doesn’t establish a connection, so I have to forget the device and re-pair it
6. Forgetting a Bluetooth device and re-pairing it every time I use it because I know it’s just faster

[scarlet flame]

My other gripe with the app is it's not a one time purchase

It's locked to the specific device you purchase it on

Any other device you own you gotta buy it again

I got it on my laptop cuz priorities

But if I want it on my pc I'm gonna have to pay them dollar bills

[fossil frost]

yeah, i wasnt a fan of that, means i cant resell, or give away my licence that i dont use

[cerulean canopy]

just like hevc isnt supported either lol

[gilded quest]

Tell me more about that coffee

[scarlet flame]

I had to buy hevc for media playdr

I know there's vlc but

[fossil frost]

large latte, sugar free caramel, extra shot of coffee, with cream on top too (i had £7.50 left on a gift card, and when the balance drops below the value of a single drink, you cant use it)

[scarlet flame]

I really care about ui for movie watching

[cerulean canopy]

i rather donated to VLC

[vapid smelt]

I thought it was illegal for UK people to drink coffee

license burdened codecs are a whole nother can of worms. hevc is supported by default if your device manufacturer bought the license, but you can actually buy the license yourself iirc

[winged spire]

They’re actually making the part

[scarlet flame]

If vlc had better ui I'd give up using the windows 11 media player

[cerulean canopy]

for ze coffe

[fossil frost]

tea is for dunking biscuits, coffee is for staying awake

[scarlet flame]

I remember the time I reinstalled windows since dolby atmos went bye bye on my pc

[harsh quartz]

tea > coffee, just dont ask me how i make the tea

[scarlet flame]

Dolby atmos was too important

I truly despise one drive implementation on windows 11 though

[covert cradle]

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nmzlz57r3t7?hl=en-US&gl=US

Deleting one drive doesn't reset ur library folders

....maybe

[scarlet flame]

To the standard

It'll still be in the one drive folder and then I can't do crap to move it

The destination folder of the library

That truly infuriated me

[fossil frost]

Who microwaves water

[alpine gale]

I get around this by not allowing OneDrive to manage my files... Unfortunately, too many people blindly say "yes" to things without understanding what "yes" means, AND too many software developers do a poor job explaining what their software is going to do to someone's files / workflows. This includes Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.

[scarlet flame]

I eventually got one drive complety yeeted

[scarlet flame]

I made the mistake of uninstalling one drive before migrating destination folders back to default and it kept throwing errors

[cerulean canopy]

im not getting a kettle out for a 100ml of water

[scarlet flame]

What I paid for

Yeah I need to radiate my water as well

I don't got a kettle

[covert cradle]

not the poor VIA-LA! The humanity! they need those fees /s

[scarlet flame]

So I can't eat my instant noodles instantly

[cerulean canopy]

as i said, i will rather donate to vlc

[scarlet flame]

everything about windows practices annoys me but I can't give it up

[covert cradle]

I mean, this really isn't a windows practice. This is an everything except piracy practice. It's just built-in to the cost of devices when you buy them typically

[scarlet flame]

Since easy effects is nowhere near Dolby atmos

[cerulean canopy]

if it were up to me hdmi alliance would get squat when i buy a device

[vapid smelt]

Me

[scarlet flame]

And I really can't be asked having zero driver support on my laptop for Linux since I have an asus

I got no wifi or bluetooth

[fossil frost]

because of your inferior electricity supply?

[scarlet flame]

Camera drivers are also missing

[cerulean canopy]

replace the wifi card with intel one

[vapid smelt]

Because it's fast af

[scarlet flame]

Same with microphone

Like it's not feasible

I've also got an oled panel

[fossil frost]

uk kettle... 230v, 13 amps... boils fuck loads of water, very very quickly

[scarlet flame]

I can't trust the fact that pixel refresh is available on windows only as an Asus special

[cerulean canopy]

here is the thing
i dont need a liter of water , i need 100ml which is significantly less than minimum fill

[scarlet flame]

one positive about living in thailand

[vapid smelt]

But then you need to keep a kettle in your kitchen

[wanton swallow]

Windows 11 has alot of compatible issues i downgraded to windows 10 pro TRCC aio software and old mmoprg game ragnarok online

[fossil frost]

i have boiled a single cup of water in my kettle its fine

[scarlet flame]

My power bill is 30 dollars a month and my water bill is usually 4

[wanton swallow]

directx BS I don't need security updates. I dont surf for stpd stuff.

[harsh quartz]

me all the time

[scarlet flame]

uhhh I really need good security

[cerulean canopy]

big power

[scarlet flame]

I used to run eset on windows 10 for reasons known as rule something starting with a p and ending with a y since everything is too expensive here

[fossil frost]

fair enough, but just being online, not even browsing, there are already several zero click vulns for windows 10

[scarlet flame]

Windows​ defender has gotten good enough that I've ditched eset tho

[fossil frost]

Windows Defender is probably one of the best pieces of software microsoft has ever produced.. full stop..

[scarlet flame]

Another reason I ditched windows 10 early was ui

[wanton swallow]

Windows defender kept flagging game patcher I got sick of it and went into registery to disable ot

[scarlet flame]

I'm a big ui guy

[wanton swallow]

even when I allowed folder in threat list

[scarlet flame]

It's why I liked macos for a while

[fossil frost]

ah, so you are a troll, spitting out rage bait

[cerulean canopy]

it goes like this
excel
hyperv
defender

[scarlet flame]

and windows 10 sucked on ui

[fossil frost]

excel was bought

[scarlet flame]

The settings app was a huge improvement to me

Anyone who says otherwise is lying

[wanton swallow]

malwarebytes is my favorite

[fossil frost]

in some ways, its a massive improvement, putting everything in 1 place.. is what it should have always been.. but.. they have removed LOADS of power user functionality by doing it

[cerulean canopy]

yea no
settigs app suck ass for network settings

[scarlet flame]

The only thing I can't say has improved is edge

Well that is true ncpa.cpl for the win

[fossil frost]

MS have made settings look nicer. but pissed off a huge part of their user base with it

[wanton swallow]

Firefox with ad blocker for no ads on YouTube lol

[scarlet flame]

But it's better for wifi info I will say that

[wanton swallow]

im not saying for premium

paying*

[covert cradle]

new edge was nice for a few months, but then suits just had to bloat the absolute fuck out of it

[cerulean canopy]

you can still open control panel

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585> can you look at their last few messages and see that they are just a rage bait troll

[scarlet flame]

You can now see what ur wifi link speed is and is it wifi 5 or 6

[fossil frost]

a lot of stuff in there just redirects you to settings in 25h2

[wanton swallow]

rage bait trolling ?

[scarlet flame]

To me that's an improvement

[vapid smelt]

The soon to be AI web browser

[scarlet flame]

Since last I remember that's not possible to be viewed via ncpa.cpl

[cerulean canopy]

maybe its diffrent for enterprise editions

[scarlet flame]

The most annoying thing about windows 11 for me is the fact they removed the orig troubleshooting

[covert cradle]

tbh, I've always felt that control panel kinda sucks too. Powershell is very much worth the effort to learn

[wanton swallow]

everyone has opinions not rage bait trolling or spreading mis information

[fossil frost]

"but... but... you can turn it off!!!!" "we dont want it at all" "yes you do.. you really do.. but we will let you turn it off" "we dont want it" "ok.. we will let you have it, but it will be turned on by default and you can choose to turn it off AFTER we have soaked up all your data on install"

[scarlet flame]

Did anyone prefer cortana over copilot

[fossil frost]

i prefer neither

[cerulean canopy]

i disable both

[wanton swallow]

tbh I uninstalled copilot

[scarlet flame]

For me I was fine with copilot

[fossil frost]

im fine with thinking for myself

[scarlet flame]

Untill they removed image scanning

For Ai prompts

I needed math's hw help

[vapid smelt]

Wonder how easy the turn off button will be to find

[warped burrow]

Old edge was better imo

[fossil frost]

thats not help, thats "doing it for you" or "cheating"

[warped burrow]

They shouldve worked on edge html

[cerulean canopy]

use photomath
thank me later

[scarlet flame]

Uh no

[fossil frost]

or.. think for yourself, thank me later

[scarlet flame]

I specifically tell it don't solve it for me

Create another problem of this type and work me through solving it

I actually had to do math exams on pen and paper

[dusky jacinth]

Never cared about either of them.

[warped burrow]

Was cortona actual ai

[scarlet flame]

With no calculator involved

[warped burrow]

I remember it doing literally nothing

[scarlet flame]

For trigonometry and calculus

[scarlet flame]

I don't remember it's been so long

Honestly my rule of thumb for browsers rn is for my gaming pc opera gx and for my work/school laptop I use chrome

[dusky jacinth]

I'd want to say yasn't, but then like... It was supposed to be a "clippy replacement for the whole desktop" in a sense to compete with Siri.

... And didn't work out the way MS hoped. Lol.

[cerulean canopy]

better than a calculator that just spits out answer

[fossil frost]

maths exams were not hard when i last did them, 20+ years ago, when you had no other choice but to think for yourself.. being able to look up the things you can look up now, should make them piss simple

[scarlet flame]

I wish Google made their password manager an open source extension for any chromium browser integration

[fossil frost]

bitwarden

[scarlet flame]

Is it free?

[fossil frost]

free and open source

[warped burrow]

opera gx is mega slop

[scarlet flame]

And is it synced? And usable on android?

[fossil frost]

yes, and yes

[warped burrow]

i use chrome nowadays ive come full circle

and for password manager i use proton

[scarlet flame]

My high school education was sabotaged in every way by my dads schooling decisions

The only reason I've recovered and made it into college was my mom and getting a GED

[fossil frost]

i use chrome, but my passwords are with bitwarden. i dont like that chrome stores them as plain text. bitwarden stores them encrypted, and you use a master password to unlock the vault when you start your browser up

[dusky jacinth]

Meanwhile, I'm just currently on maybe my 4th-5th day on Waterfox and things have been solid so far.

Even installed it to my phone to try and it's been pretty painless.

[scarlet flame]

Like I got sent to a self paced high-school and it was Christian

The only way I could advance in each textbook was memorizing a Christian verse

[warped burrow]

Last time i used waterfox it was just firefox with a shitty ui and auto hiding tab bar

[scarlet flame]

I have really bad short term memory

Even math had verses I needed to recite and remember

I couldn't recite for crap

[warped burrow]

[scarlet flame]

And if I fail the recitation enough times I have to redo the whole text book

You best believe

I was pissed

[dusky jacinth]

Damn... Now there's something I never experienced when in private school.
Even though that was like two decades ago or so.

[scarlet flame]

And then when it came time to receive my transcript cuz I was switching school

They said I didn't finish enough content to considered grade 9 complete

so my transcript shows grade 7 and 8 complete and grade 9 INC

So I couldn't get into any senior high school

[quartz dew]

any predictions for CES?

[scarlet flame]

And the GED was my last hope

And even though ged is a 12th grade equivalancy a 7th grader with enough English knowledge could pass it

[scarlet flame]

Ptx6090

And then moving from 7-8th grader math to college level math

Going into computer science

Yeah I was really really cookex

[dusky jacinth]

I actually refused to settle for a GED and finished high school completely with GPA of 2.9. Like my parents were pushing for me to get a GED and I just... Powered through instead, even though I was over time.

[scarlet flame]

I'm switching major since I'm not gonna be doing this to calculus 3 I'm incapable

[fossil frost]

machine learning devices (that nobody asked for) as far as the eye can see

[harsh quartz]

i didnt see the top right and just thought this was about this chat in general

[dusky jacinth]

I couldn't qualify for calc at all. I had only options between stewardship/consumer math and geometry. You can take a guess which one I actually took.

[scarlet flame]

Of this level of math I'm in the thick of it everybody knows

[cerulean canopy]

50% increase in ram price

[scarlet flame]

I'm switching to international business

I did pretty well for myself in terms of college choice tho since Thailand's uni qualifications is potato I got into the 2nd best uni in the country

I've failed calculus 1 twice I barely passed foundation math after failing it once

If I fail Calc 1 once more I get expelled

Any 1 subject failed 3 times is = expelliarmus

[dusky jacinth]

Everything gets delayed, most of the actually interesting stuff that get's shown might end up being just microLED-LCD display tech or something to do with the new startup with attachable bluetooth sliding-keybs for phones and their simple communication-only companion smartphone.

[scarlet flame]

My friend keeps yapping saying Nvidia will pull out of the gamer/consumer for the GPU market soon

To go entirely into AI

And the 50 series is the last generation Nvidia is gonna release

Which I think is a heap of crap

[fossil frost]

its not out of the question.. 50 series wont be the last. but nvidia will more and more, shift away from the consumer market

[dusky jacinth]

With the way things are going, it's unclear if they'll even pull back once that bubble turns into a black hole.

[loud blaze]

Rise of intel for gamers? 👀

[scarlet flame]

I mean I feel personally amd can and will step up their game if Nvidia leaves

[dusky jacinth]

And then potentially it'll just be Intel and AMD to tend to the remainder of the market, till Bolt makes up their minds and if Moorethreads somehow gets allowed to be shipped internationally with actually good driver support.

[scarlet flame]

But I refuse to believe Intel can take amd or Nvidias place in the GPU market

[fossil frost]

tbh, i think the real conspiracy theory is that there are "better maths" available for machine learning. its possible to do it much much more efficiently... but nvidia and friends have paid for it to be, held back, in some way

[scarlet flame]

I refuse to have faith in Intel arc

I know it's improved somewhat but still I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would choose arc over amd

[dusky jacinth]

It's improved a lot actually.

[scarlet flame]

when they mostly cater to the same performance per dollar

I do wonder about why ltt stopped Intel ultimate tech upgrade tho

[dusky jacinth]

Also, in terms of productivity, Intel's long been there, even before getting into the dgpu game, so they will definitely take that spot.

[scarlet flame]

Is it cuz of the fact intel wanted their GPU only to be used for the sponsorship money

[scarlet flame]

The spot Nvidia held?

[dusky jacinth]

Pretty much. Intel's the only other one who can.

[scarlet flame]

ehhh

Il see it to believe it if Nvidia truly pulls out

[dusky jacinth]

AMD keeps only marginally improving gen over gen, so they've never quite kept up well.

[harsh quartz]

amd also wont fix their driver shenanigans. only one that seems to be improving their drivers is intel

[dusky jacinth]

And then the only other real competitor is Apple... Which doesn't say much per say.

[scarlet flame]

I've never had amd driver issues

[dusky jacinth]

Well as far as productivity goes, it's less of even that.

AMD just came late for prioritizing it.

[scarlet flame]

The only time I've ever faced unstability is when overclocking the gpu

Amd sucked in terms of productivity

I don't even wanna go into the encoder shenanigans which should have been fixed by rx6000

But it's not

[dusky jacinth]

And even for video encode and transcode, they only have like one device that really shows their true capability and it's... Only for transcode servers, mostly stuff at Youtube's or PeerTube's scale, ironically.

[harsh quartz]

amd is the only one i wont use their gpus anymore. for raw performance, nvidia wins, and for the price to performance, intel is interesting enough to be the pick

[scarlet flame]

My experience with GPU encoding has been terrible on amd for obs and any other streaming platform

[dusky jacinth]

No, it actually took up until 7k and 9k to solve it, but then that wasn't entirely done by actually upgrading the encoders themselves much. It was all the improvements to the gpu arch around them instead.

I can attest to it as a 7900XT owner that their quality to bitrate improved for RDNA3, however, the weird catch is it was only on the 7900s' die, and then only universally for RDNA4 gpus from last I've heard.

[scarlet flame]

Honestly I can't agree with that in my market there's Nvidia and intel tax where I live amd is the only reasonably priced stuff here so price to performance has always been amd here

[harsh quartz]

sucks for yall ig

[scarlet flame]

For me I feel raw performance without ray tracing being involved amd can easily compete with Nvidia at different price points

As soon as Ray tracing comes on though performance on amd takes a real hit compared to Nvidia

I also feel like Nvidia pushing raytracing as industry standard ruined things though

[dusky jacinth]

Still kinda sucks they didn't release the Big Navi dies, even if the cost and drawbacks were significant. Flagship 9k gpus now would've made sense instead of waiting for UDNA 1 in the way the market is trending now.

[scarlet flame]

Since raytracing is just a way to calculate light bounce

I can attest to the fact that the encoder is dogwater on my rx6600

And it was really unstable

Crank the bitrate too high for better quality

You best believe my pc was gonna crash

[dusky jacinth]

Well it's complicated.
Realtime RT originally was done in software, albeit accomplished well and actually looked good without much post-processing, however that favored higher ended systems with greater cpu core counts or gpus with plenty of shaders for reasonable performance.
So it wasn't completely accessible before and very few devs were incentivized to even try it.

[scarlet flame]

It's cpu encoding only

Well the way things are ain't the greatest either

Ray tracing on on some games look worse than with it off

[dusky jacinth]

Nvidia basically solved the accessibility part by pioneering an affordable and accessible hardware solution for it. The drawback was that they were doing it and it all started on PC first, not on a platform where it could be ironed out more easily without a web of snags involved.

[scarlet flame]

I agree with ur take actually
