He left a few months ago to start his own channel jakkuh

His latest video tells about his departure

[harsh quartz]

have they released the price?

[polar fern]

They are on sale right now

why is charlie sheen greeting me on the cable page

[polar fern]

That’s clearly David Bowie

honestly the polos look sick tho

[polar fern]

[harsh quartz]

the polos look sick but not dry fit :(

need me some ltt dry fit polos

[polar fern]

Creator warehouse channel might be cool

Doesn’t even need to be some high volume production thing can just be something that is used for reference for potential customers

[harsh quartz]

are the only differences in the cables speed/distance? or does power change as well?

[gilded quest]

Well someone didn't read the product page

[polar fern]

Not sure I didn’t really look close at it. I’m just glad they have super short cables that I can use as an adapter.

[harsh quartz]

where is it at, im looking

[gilded quest]

That's the trick
The product page is terrible:)

[harsh quartz]

yeah its not amazing

[gilded quest]

But if you look at each option for USBC to C and for USB A to C, you will quickly see the trend

[harsh quartz]

i mean i see what changes, but i dont see any confirmation that all of the c-c ones of different lengths have the same power, or am i just missing it?

[viscid elm]

the video is great

[gilded quest]

Look at each one and see where power is mentioned on the store page and notice the power rating never changes

[viscid elm]

the cables can do usb 40Gb aka 4, and PD

DP alt mode im 90% sure they can too

[harsh quartz]

oh, okay, yeah, that makes sense i guess, but a confirmation on the page would be nice

[gilded quest]

No idea if they do or do not

It doesn't say

[viscid elm]

the video aint clear

[gilded quest]

I haven't watched it

Does the video mention DP alt?

[viscid elm]

pretty sure it did not

[harsh quartz]

i seem to recall them mentioning it before, with the thunderboldt specifications, but it was a random point in a wan show a few weeks back

[gilded quest]

Yeah I can't go back and find a 10 second comment from wan

[subtle lake]

hi, what is the email the floatplane verification code comes from?

[glossy olive]

hi

[harsh quartz]

check your spawn

[uneven galleon]

in the video, it mentioned they needed to send the cables off to some other people to test USB4, cause the usbc tester they had wasnt adequate

but then again, if it does do usb4, does it do all the fancy stuff. i dont even think it was mentioned if it was passive or active

i'd assume active, at least for the longer ones?

[green brook]

So I walked into a Walmart..

Why how and what ONN everything including monitors?!?!

Has anybody benchmarked these things?

[strange elk]

ONN is a Walmart in house brand.

live wan show message

[lusty cradle]

hi

[white finch]

😭

[plush grotto]

bruh

out of all orbits

its a geo

[winged spire]

And yet again absolutely no media coverage

But when a starlink that will naturally decay in 2 weeks has an issue it’s massive criticism 🙄

[plush grotto]

or god forbid a starship launch goes to plan.

[rose blade]

Starlink is a needed service

[plush grotto]

and gps isnt?

ahh i see why there is no coverage

its a russian spy sat

[winged spire]

All the more reason

[plush grotto]

yea nvm thats riht

[covert moth]

i just saw LTTs new video on USB-C cables, its great and all.... now make audio cables /headphone cables >: D plz

[winged spire]

Don’t park your abandoned satellites in geostationary with absolutely no plan on recovery of anything

Boeing had one blow up in sun synchronous a few months ago iirc

[plush grotto]

the rule should always be to retire sats in the graveyard or recover them

recover is a massive cost.
retire them can leave traces of the sat to the enemy

[winged spire]

That really won’t be surviving reentry anyway

[shut lichen]

They'll be focusing on cables you can't make yourself before ever doing any of those

[plush grotto]

there is always something that makes it to the ground.

[winged spire]

very few things do

[shut lichen]

Also the market for nice audio cables is pretty saturated

[winged spire]

Like the ISS dropped some batteries on a house but that’s because they’re basically just dense blocks of metal

A well planned trajectory can cause the full thing to burn up

[plush grotto]

oh it just so happened that a memory module from the sat survived, now the enemy has avvess to the info on the module.

[plush grotto]

given you have enough fuel to put it out of geo into an orbit that gives high enough reentry speed

and the retirement of a sat is rarely taken into account when planning fuel

[winged spire]

It just depends, if you had a super shallow angle more stuff could possibly survive

You’d wanna slam it as perpendicular as possible

[plush grotto]

https://giphy.com/gifs/FzuiifgDBL3Lq

Like that nuclear manhole cover

[plush grotto]

[winged spire]

I don’t think it ever left the atmosphere, it was going so fast at such a low altitude I think it likely burned up almost immediately

[plush grotto]

somewhere out there, there is some part of a manhole

[winged spire]

We’ve probably breathed a few atoms off it

[plush grotto]

we have not, the people in the area yea

there is probably some of those particles still around

[polar fern]

He judge. You know what you did.

[plush grotto]

nuh uh

[green brook]

Its kinda crazy to look at. I even saw an ONN tripod. And an ONN soundbar. At first I was like oh maybe its just them pulling no name brands and relabling them for things like HDMI cables etc the way Amazon does. But this.....wtf?!?!

And the prices are competative as hell for whats offered

[strange elk]

I mean yeah basically the same idea

[green brook]

But an ONN Tablet?!? Who's giving them sockets?!?!

[strange elk]

Sockets?

[green brook]

Theres no labeling on the thing about brand of core

[long briar]

no need for headphone cables when they're purely analogue devices

[green brook]

or any leads straight to a board partner or anything

[long briar]

Xinhs, Openheart, etc. all got that covered

[green brook]

No intel labeling, no nvidia, no AMD nothing, no samsung logos nothin

redditors say its a snapdragon apu

others saying its a MediaTek processor

other sources saying ARM cortex

[rain scroll]

This monitor is peak

[green brook]

thats AI

[rain scroll]

Ur ai

[strange elk]

Its just offshore manufacturing. Its unclear who's selling them to Walmart exactly though

[green brook]

We need Shane Dawson on the case

[green brook]

I feel like this is Trader Joes but with tech

[strange elk]

Seen a couple sources mention these names for the TVs, funai electronics, element electronics and orion electronics

[green brook]

who even are those people bruh?!?!

[strange elk]

Offshore manufacturers.

[green brook]

Right....but all our chips come from one spot

sorta...

[winged spire]

[green brook]

I feel like...one of these tech youtubers should investigate ONN

[winged spire]

Why?

[green brook]

Cause ain't no way...you putting up 120hz 20 inch monitors for 70$ literally dumpstering everything on the shelf....

thats insane

[winged spire]

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/white-label-product.asp

[rain scroll]

Sounds about reasonable

Ewaste atp

[green brook]

Their competition is on the shelf from ASUS for 170$....same product...bro how....

[hexed pulsar]

I got a steal I5 12500f 16gbs of ddr5 6600k i3 10100f 16 gbs of ddr4 and older ddr3 system that one is still unknown and I got a hd7870 for 140$ and the 12500f build works flawlessly

[green brook]

But theres no giveaway specs on pixel density or anything, box just has the basic stats

[rain scroll]

Probably doodoo panel

[hexed pulsar]

I3 works too

Still working on 6600k build

[rain scroll]

Because when you spend $70 on a monitor that becomes irrelevant to the consumer

Cheap, works, good refresh rate. Perfect for a 12 year old playing Xbox

[winged spire]

Definitely not?

Price is far from the only thing consumers care about

A 1080p 120hz monitor for 70$ is a good deal but it’s not magic

[green brook]

Riiiight but, theres no obvious specs for comparison. No deep dives on the box.

[rain scroll]

You said this monitor is being sold where? Walmart? It’s their private label brand?

[winged spire]

Yeah ONN is Walmart’s Kirkland or Amazon basics equivalent

Bro just doesn’t understand white labeling

[rain scroll]

yeah there’s your answer

Lol

[winged spire]

.

[green brook]

ONN brand. They been pushing everything. A few years back I only saw chords. Now they have soundbars, camera mounts, webcams, RGB keyboards, mice, monitors, remotes....you name it...

[green brook]

I understand white labeling, but who's the guy behind the label. Usually when they do it for instance like Great Value Brand Bread...is just repackaged Sara Lee

Question I have though...who are they repackaging...

[winged spire]

Whar size panel

[green brook]

They're pushing 20's and 24's

[cedar forge]

More like why are they repackaging?

[winged spire]

1080p 120hz 24”?

[rain scroll]

Wasn’t really sure what you were asking, my fault. I was just pointing out who they’re marketed towards. Not who makes them.

[green brook]

yah

[winged spire]

This one even says IPS

[rain scroll]

Oh wait hold on

I might know who actually makes those

[winged spire]

I can land a few thousand of these in America for 50$ each and they’ll even help me find freight

[green brook]

Why are monitors so cheap all of a sudden

[tribal sun]

been like this for a hot min

[rain scroll]

Could it be CRUA?

[green brook]

outta Shenzen

[strange elk]

Yeah i got a 120hz 1080p monitor like 4 years ago for I think a hundred bucks

Viewsonic

[rain scroll]

Caises

[green brook]

That sounds about right

But these are pumping like 30-40 dollars under that which is crazy

[flat wren]

Did I mess something up with my PC build? Looking for feedback

Hey everyone!

I built this PC myself yesterday, buying each part separately and assembling everything on my own. I just want to sanity-check the build and see if I might have made any mistakes or questionable choices.

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8600G (Radeon 760M iGPU)
• RAM: 16 GB DDR5 6000 MT/s (Dual-channel) Kingston Fury Beast (XMP)
• Storage: 480 GB Kingston SATA SSD
• PSU: Corsair CX650
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M H (AM5)
• CPU Cooler: Rise Mode Storm 8 Black (air cooler)
• Case Fans: Rise Mode White, 1600 RPM
• Case: Pichau Magpie 4B Mini Tower (PG-MAG4B-BK)

Total cost (Brazil): R$ 3,200
Approx. USD: ~$630–650

Everything is running, but I’d love opinions on part balance, compatibility, thermals, or anything you’d have done differently.

Appreciate any feedback!

[strange elk]

I mean they cost optimize these processes as much as they possibly can. Beyond that, it keeps people going to Walmart.

[green brook]

Never thought I'd see the day they even compete in this space.

Whats next ONN GPUs lol

\

[strange elk]

Unlikely

Possible but unlikely. They already do prebuilts

@fossil frost

seems like a pretty simple fix, toss every bike into an xray before and after a race

[fossil frost]

technodoping has been a thing for a few years now, hidden motors, removable weights that can "fall off" during the race (bikes have to be a minimum of 6.8kg no matter the size, at the start of a race)

[fossil frost]

as with F1, its random selection, a certain percentage of bikes are selected for random inspection, including xray, at the start of races

[winged spire]

much fewer parts than F1 though

lot more feasible to do them all

[fossil frost]

they have a portable xray machine that looks like a small horse trailer, they pass bikes through it

[winged spire]

yeah thats what I was thinking

[fossil frost]

in a previous job, when i made sports data/analysis software.. i found out a LOT of things that i didnt know about cycling, and the tricks they use

[winged spire]

theyre also using thermals but thats only going to out the bad engineers lol

[fossil frost]

when they are on.. legal... dope.. (like blood doping with their own blood, as that was in a grey area at the time)... you go to a training camp, on a mountain somewhere, where there is only 1 road in, 1 road out... and you have a spotter.. if any car you dont know comes up that road, everyone hides.. "ohh.. UCI inspection? everyone is out on a training ride, they wont be back for 8 hours.. do you want to go for lunch while you wait?"

or again, same blood doping... you would wake up at 3am, to do a turbo trainer ride for 30 minutes.. to thin your blood a bit.. so you dont die in your sleep

[winged spire]

you gotta be an APEX S tier loser to cheat like that ngl

[vapid smelt]

I swear the spokes fell off on their own during the race!

[fossil frost]

it wasnt cheating at the time... all teams push right up to the very edge of the rules, because they know all other teams are pushing right up to the very edge of the rules

[winged spire]

the motors I mean

idk, like even doping with drugs still requires a fuck ton of training and whatnot

I could do a damn good time with peddle assist 😭

[fossil frost]

ohh.. yeah.. cyclocross is where it was noticed first.. because theres a lot more stop/start in that, and accelerating is what saps your legs the most.. once you are up to speed, you dont need THAT much effort to keep going at that speed on flat ground.. there are a few people banned for life because they got caught with motors in the bottom bracket, or in the down tube, really small motors that only give a 100w assist.. but.. when you are doing 1000w 5 second sprints to get back to speed.. that extra 10% you get.. is LOADS

[winged spire]

you could definitely analyze the peddle movements vs actual watts out of the wheels with enough footage of each rider on their bike

maybe need to start adding heartrate sensors and whatnot to the rider

[fossil frost]

all riders are required to record all of their power and heart rate data in all UCI Pro and higher races, and its all kept as part of their "bio passport" now.. as well as loads of biomarkers they do regular blood tests for.. any sudden jumps in performance are investigated

[vapid smelt]

https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/43641013/fia-introduce-flexi-wing-clampdown-2025-f1-season like McLaren weaving the fiber wing in such a way it would only flex while driving not when they test it with weights xD

it was NUTS. they passed the 100kg static load test for it to not flex.. red bull cried... so the FIA doubled it to a 200kg static load test.. passed that too... mclaren showed themselves doing a 400kg static load test.. no flex... as soon as they got on to a straight in a race.. you could clearly see it flexing and giving a huge advantage

[winged spire]

they bend that up and out

obviously a tirespike atp too

thats why they banned it

I forget the race but they had to use actual production cars for it, so they dunked the entire frame in acid to eat away most of the chassis for weight savings

[fossil frost]

there have been parts of certain F1 cars for certain teams that seemed to.. break for no reason.. on races which were very drag dependant.. speculation is that they were purposfully built weak, so they snapped off at the first chance.. giving a weight and drag advantage

[winged spire]

if a ref leaned on the car it would have just collapsed

[fossil frost]

theres a practice called "alu-drill-ium" in cycling.. in non-uci races, where the weight limit doesnt matter.. people use drills to drill out as much metal as they can get away with, to save weight, but not have the bike collapse under load

[winged spire]

bro spilling the secrets to robotics competitions lol

we normally do full pocketing instead of just holes though tbf

if you dont have a CNC that works really well though

[fossil frost]

im on about routing out the frame into a swiss cheese/honey comb type patern 😄

[winged spire]

yessssss

[fossil frost]

many people have taken it way too far and had bad accidents on them

[winged spire]

isogrid bikes

[fossil frost]

same type of people take a hacksaw to their handle bars to save a few grams

this is mostly for straight up hill climb races, where weight is everything

[winged spire]

we dont have much cheating in robotics

[fossil frost]

im not describing cheating here, im describing creative interpretations of the rules 😄

[winged spire]

lots of things that are just within the rules/against the spirit

yeah

basically every compeitition has a very thorough inspection

and then youre usually inspected again in the finale so if you even get that far.. good luck

[fossil frost]

no such thing as the spirit of the rules.. theres the rule.. and thats it.. if someone says "its against the spirit" they are just bitter they didnt think about it first, and/or the rules are badly written

[winged spire]

we do some things

not gonna say what they are...lmao

[winged spire]

within the rules!

rocketry has less of that stuff too

rules get pretty explicit and definite when youre dealing with explosives

[fossil frost]

i thought robot fighting rules around explosives were "no fucking explosives"

[winged spire]

One I was thinking of a while ago is for a compeition that uses golf balls as a payload you need to use

theres no actual definiton of size or shape of golfball

golfballs come in all sorts of sizes

[winged spire]

rocketry

our onyl explosives on the robots are the batteries

[vapid smelt]

McLaren engineers manipulated the layering and orientation of carbon fiber within the top flap, making it intentionally weaker (more flexible) in certain zones, especially the leading edge, while the rest of the wing remained rigid.

Then they get in trouble for following rules smh

[fossil frost]

they did it in such a way where the load would need to be applied in multiple places at the same time, to get it to flex, the FIA test was a single zone static load test, which it passed every time

[winged spire]

I wonder how hard that would be

I might try that

so that lip would flex UP at the tip?

[fossil frost]

rear wing, not the front wing

[winged spire]

ah

[fossil frost]

but essentially.. yes, the leading edge would flex up above a certain speed, opening up the wing, reducing drag

[rancid blaze]

Ohhh f1 chat
I like
Can you guys elaborate what are you guys were talking about pls?

[winged spire]

just a straight bar.... yeah im gonna try to recreat that

[winged spire]

bruh

[fossil frost]

the rules around engines for compression ratio for the last set of rules, was 18:1, for this new set of regs, its been reduced to 16:1... mercedes seem to be the only ones who realise that, that is measured when cold, and.. metal expands when its hot.. they designed the engine block in such a way, with a certain alloy that expands in a controlled way.. opening up the block and getting closer to an 18:1 ratio... red bull and Audi are currently crying about it, because their very expensive engineers never noticed that.. metal expand when its hot

[vapid smelt]

How they test it doesn't flex and follow the rules

[fossil frost]

this... but.. if you put 100kg through it.. it cant move.. at all.. they then doubled it to 200kg.. and it still didnt move

it needs the load in multiple places at the same time to flex

[winged spire]

carbon is expensive man

[errant narwhal]

You reckon $300 is shit for a used 2060 for an old pc that runs a 1060 atm?

[winged spire]

Most of my shit is fiberglass

[vapid smelt]

McLaren has too good of engineers

[winged spire]

that wouldn't work as well though

[fossil frost]

that rear wing, on its own, can be a good half a million euros

[winged spire]

well yeah but thats not material

[fossil frost]

front wings usually cost around 200 grand

[winged spire]

thats just labor, carbon is crazy laborous and super fine craftsmanship

[vapid smelt]

$300 for the 2060 alone?

[fossil frost]

no, thats manufacturing cost.. R+D cost for it is counted as R+D

[winged spire]

R&D shouldnt be included in manufacturing cost

manufacturing cost is the cost to manufacturer, not develop

[fossil frost]

its not.. R+D is its own thing in F1

because of the cost cap, they have to be very specific about that.. R+D is counted differnetly to manufacturing

[winged spire]

if youre paying the best carbon fiber dudes in the world 2000 an hour thats gonna make your costs go crazy

[fossil frost]

the manufacturing costs for a full car is around 8 million euros

[winged spire]

I could belive that

[fossil frost]

thats taking into account making 1 of every part

[winged spire]

our robots are just south of 100k

[vapid smelt]

They should keep the bendable wing rule it's cool as hell

[winged spire]

hmm

[fossil frost]

the fully active aero for this year negates the need for it

[winged spire]

I agrree, they keep removing all the engineering tasks and standardizing

its very annoying

out engineering someone is significantly more impressive than out driving someone

[fossil frost]

tbh, its why they change the rules every 5-8 years.. and focus around a new area that they want to push towards road cars

which is why they are reducing the compression ratio and simplifying the engines for this set of rules

[fossil frost]

mclaren won for the last 2 years with A tier (rather than S tier) drivers.. because of exactly that

the fastest mercedes car, was a mclaren

super not fun for the mercedes team

[vapid smelt]

I want the engineers to run free with no rules other than maybe no electric motors and jet engines

[winged spire]

yes to jet engines

yes to cold gas thrusters

yes to SRBs

[fossil frost]

every few years, an ex-f1 engineer produces a design that they think would be "if F1 had no rules, but was still 'F1' "

[vapid smelt]

Oh that's sounds fun

[winged spire]

jet engines are cheap enough that whistlen diesel can own like 8

those are way bigger too

no f1 team has the resources to develop their own in house though

theres a reason china doesnt make any

https://youtube.com/shorts/Tu98WQUDsNo?si=nbeXRmRXctwvYBv_

I neee to connect an external gpu with my laptop

I mean i dont have the gpu just yet

But is that practical

[viscid elm]

thunderbolt dock

[forest wedge]

I really dont need a full dedicated pc for multiple monitors

[forest wedge]

Is thunderbolt same as usb c

[viscid elm]

o boy

[forest wedge]

I know

Ports are confusing tho

There are so many now

[viscid elm]

yes thunderbolt uses the connector usb-c but its not the same thing as raw usb 4

even tho usb 4 and thunderbolt 4 can mostly do the same things

[forest wedge]

Gotcha, so i plug the dock in my usb c port on laptop? The main thing iam worried about is how iam gonna run the gpu

[viscid elm]

you run it in the dock

[hazy parrot]

I did thunderbolt 3 egpu years ago...def some headroom lost and latency gained. But this was also an i7 7700hq

These days I'm sure it's solid

[viscid elm]

but if its just for some extra monitors why not just use the laptop ports and use display link

[forest wedge]

The gpu on laptop kind of struggles i think

[viscid elm]

no

[forest wedge]

Actually iam not even 100% on that 🤔

Its got integrated gpu

Intel hd 620

[viscid elm]

running a display is SUPER easy, what application that is displaying is the issue

[forest wedge]

None, i just assumed

.....

[viscid elm]

fyi the external dock for a gpu probs costs more than your laptop is worth

[forest wedge]

And it is standard 1080p 60hz monitor too, i dont do gaming just programming......

[viscid elm]

are you gonna run 4 or 5 monitors?

[forest wedge]

Yeah iam lookin at prices its expensive

[forest wedge]

It looks like 620 supports 3 monitors max, according to Google, i think i can do with 3

[viscid elm]

you have thunderbolt

it can do a lot more

in short just use the ports the laptop has and maybe a thunderbolt hub

[forest wedge]

Gotcha

so what should i get

@mystic tundra

[mystic tundra]

i’m not a mic guy sorry

i can only tell you what to not buy

the reason i discourage people from buying big brand peripherals is simply that they spend too much on marketing and types of service, their software tends to be proprietary which would be fine if so much of them wouldn’t be borderline unusable

their margins are higher

and when you have that you figure out there may be something better

[oak pier]

[oak pier]

only a 360mm aio it’s unlikely to matter unless you’re using an application that can actually spread across 16 cores

[pulsar kiln]

Ambient temperature of 38C, that thing never goes over 55C at full load ffmpeg encoding

Idling, it runs at exactly ambient

[oak pier]

how do you deal with the melting point of 1085c?

[pulsar kiln]

I just YOLO it

[pulsar kiln]

16 cores not bad. That's only 50% utilization. 32 threads is heavier and will generate more heat. But if you are running stock clocks, not using PBO, and not enabling dumb ass multi core enhancement shit like Asus and brands often enable by default, temps will be relatively easy to keep under control.

[oak pier]

yes and no for the “will generate more heat” bit

generally, yes, but there’s outliers for certain applications

[pulsar kiln]

Simply disabling Asus multi core enhancement on my 5950x dropped idling temps from 45-50 down to high 20-s low 30s. That shit is so idiotic to enable

And I actually increased clock speed by disabling it

[pulsar kiln]

Okay technically yes

[brittle nova]

no products on the cable page?? and they are advertising them like crazy???

[winged spire]

They oversold

[harsh quartz]

Tbf they were significantly cheaper than most people thought they’d be

[brittle nova]

Ik but they won’t even show what was available with a sold out sigh on them. So I can have and idea as to what I might want to get when they are restocked

[harsh quartz]

It might only be showing in stock products

[winged spire]

Shopify is stupid and bad and was letting people buy out of stock products

I assume they’re made in china so they’ve gotta wait for another boat

[brittle nova]

Yes

[winged spire]

Week or 2 then

[fossil frost]

it annoys me sometimes that shopify became what it is, when i had a similar platform built, working, more featured, more integrations with more providers.. before them... but just didnt have the forceful marketing that they had...

[deep sedge]

hey, i'm not experienced on discord... i almost am never on here. yesterday someone named 'lakai' friended me out of the blue (1st friend) and started sending me messages on how to 'protect my account'.

i'm just looking for some help here on if this is a scam

[fossil frost]

probable scammer.. just block them

[deep sedge]

this is one of the messageS: Iakai — Yesterday at 3:49 PM
kindly Attend to the notice below,

NOTICE‼️
You are advised to disable friend request on your account. It helps for the security of your discord account from spam messages. You can do so here👇 You can go to your settings, click on content & social and disable all three options.

is that guy being nice or scamming me?

[fossil frost]

dont click on anything. its a scam

[winged spire]

Apparently spaceX has a sniper on the payroll to sink starship test vehicles 😭

Out the side of a helicopter too

[harsh quartz]

Yeah they’re named Elon musk

[deep sedge]

why would he ask me to do that?

[fossil frost]

so you click on the random links they send you, which will ask you to enter your discord password to "confirm the settings".. which then gives them your discord account

[deep sedge]

gotcha

[deep sedge]

is that Tim Trump, Donald Trumps recluse brother?

[winged spire]

What

[deep sedge]

Tim Trump, Donald's recluse brother

Timothy Trump

[solemn goblet]

Groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter!

Probably is right

[harsh quartz]

Oh you meant actual sniper, I thought you meant a metaphorical sniper sinking their launches

The fuck you mean what?

I thought you meant a metaphor

[hollow scroll]

Anybody see about notepad++?

[fossil frost]

yeah, cant say im surprised. what i am surprised about is that somebody fucked up and defaced the site instead of staying quiet and doing whatever else it was they were doing

[hollow scroll]

Guess they wanted the attention they craved

[fossil frost]

its been put down to a nation state, nation states dont usually do it for the attention

[harsh quartz]

What about a nation state?

[fossil frost]

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/

[harsh quartz]

Oh you replied to the wrong message

Confused me, but yeah I guess that’s important cause I think most the techs at our company use notepad++

[fossil frost]

ah balls.. stupid discord moving when i click things 😄

[harsh quartz]

Kek

[fossil frost]

np++ is considered safe again as of 8.8.9

[winged spire]

The CCP got to bizz

[fossil frost]

i said "considered" not "is" 🙂

[strange elk]

Actually disabling friend requests isn't the worst idea. Just do it the way Discord says, not the way they do

[harsh quartz]

Yeah I was on 8.7.8, we had a bunch of new people start at the company in the last year and most of them have older versions on notepad++

[hazy prairie]

might want to let your it dept know? they might be able to force an update to some apps, I know at the engineering firm my older brother works at they could do that, not sure how uther companies work.

Pi prices go crazy

[harsh quartz]

Brother we are the it department

[winged spire]

Pi3 stays winning, they’ve apparently got “several years supply” of the LPDDR2 used on it and the zero

[harsh quartz]

But no we don’t have the domain controller set up to force app updates

[shadow maple]

can somebody suggest me a laptop in #tech-chat-1 thank youuu

[frank fog]

Anyone here a filthy corpo? I need help drafting a text to my boss about a problem employee and a problem department.

[strange elk]

Pi3.. Zero?

[rigid inlet]

Damn might be time for me to cash out my collection of Pi's

[strange elk]

Me still on my first one since 2018

Want more but prices. Never ended up getting the zero in the magazine.

[uncut dawn]

Just made me leave because of this message

[oak pier]

lol

[viscid elm]

IROH HOW COULD YOU it was the real spy tf2

[oak pier]

not my fault

[viscid elm]

i do not belive you

[oak pier]

i genuinely don't understand why people ask questions like this, like what kind of answer are they expecting?

[strange elk]

I usually send the build guide when I think to

Which was like once or twice

[gilded quest]

ASRock board?

[hazy prairie]

dont get an asrock motherboard, theres a bug that their trying to figure out where it can push too much voltage and fry the cpu. seems more prevalent on x3d chips, gamers nexus has videos on it

[mental veldt]

Do any of yall play Terraria?!!!! I didnt know they released the big update a week ago

[harsh quartz]

Never got the appeal of terraria

[gilded quest]

I bought it because it was like $3

But I think I've put a total of 10 minutes into it across the 10+ years I've owned it

[viscid elm]

[smoky sundial]

can u blame them

[smoky sundial]

whos mask

in like actual names

[fossil frost]

Pi's have been far more expensive than they should have been for a while now.. they started out as "cheap" single board computers.. they are now just.. single board computers

[smoky sundial]

orange pi is worse 💀

$100 for a $50 device

[hollow scroll]

No idea, nobody, not an actual ltt employee I think

[smoky sundial]

lol

[fossil frost]

random person making a joke

[smoky sundial]

im leaving ltt to

[fossil frost]

more expensive, and less support from the distros

[smoky sundial]

i carried it for 8 years and wrote every script

[smoky sundial]

it has no support lmao

raspberry pi os doesnt boot

and no os boots

[heavy pond]

cables ever coming back in stock? lol

[fossil frost]

well.. my wife is probably going to kill me when this arrives in 2 days.. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Trek-Checkpoint-SL-5-AXS-Gen-3-2026-Gravel-Bike_277248.htm?variations=colour:Lava/Black%2520Olive,size:XL&sku=1032658

"you dont need a new bike" "yes i do" "no you dont" "ok" buys bike

[smoky sundial]

no i bought like 10

that was the entire stock

[heavy pond]

dam

how much were they

[smoky sundial]

like £40

[vapid smelt]

Nearly £3k...

[fossil frost]

thats nothing compared to my other one

well, i say nothing.. its almost half of my other one

[undone mountain]

Hey i need a bit of help

Im eyeing on a used rtx 3070 17k php around 280 usd

And thr rtx 5060 18.9kphp around 290 usd

Which one should i get

Im currently using a 2070 and i want to get one thats a lil bit cheaper for my electric bill

[vapid smelt]

5060

[undone mountain]

I really dont need that much performance since im just playing rts games as of now nothing special mostly cpu heavy games

[fossil frost]

this cost almost £6000

[vapid smelt]

Same performance and the 5060 has a warranty and new better features

[vapid smelt]

You better have a GPS tracker in it lmao

[fossil frost]

insured, tagged, and tracked

i have race insurance as part of my insurance too, so if i crash it while racing... it gets replaced like for like

[undone mountain]

Which variant should i pick 8gb goes around 290us (tri fan asus) 8gb-v (dual palit) 300us or the 8gb-v (dual colourful) 295us

Cant find a ti variat mostly just these just wna know if its all the same or one is better than another

[vapid smelt]

The cheapest option

[fossil frost]

they are all roughly about the same within half an fps, if that... buy whichever you think looks nicest for you.. if you dont care about looks, get the cheapest

[vapid smelt]

Sounds expensive

[undone mountain]

Thx man fckin legend 750w psu enough right thats the current i have

[vapid smelt]

Way more then enough

[fossil frost]

its not that bad. cover for all 3 of my current bikes, with crash/theft cover, and third party damage cover.. still costs less than half of my car insurance

[undone mountain]

Kinda odd how the tri fan is the cheapest one and its asus prolly go for that looks decent aswell than the colourful white pinkish dual fan or the palit black dual fan

[native tulip]

why is minecraft always down now bro

fuck microsoft

[oak pier]

how does minecraft "go down"

[frail socket]

agreed. but not for the same reason

[native tulip]

you cant sign in it just rejects your sign in saying your "offline"

[harsh quartz]

Authentication servers, if it can’t authenticate you it won’t let you join a any “online” servers. If your hosting a server you can put it in “offline” but that limits stuff like skins from being used

It’s fucking stupid

And he’s right the Microsoft authentication servers seem to be down more than they’re up

[oak pier]

there's a plugin to get around the issue with skins

[harsh quartz]

Shouldn’t have to

[grizzled shoal]

I ride fixed gear lmao

[young hare]

cracked server

Helloo!!

[gilded quest]

Rate my backup pc

[winged spire]

Computer/10

Do corsair AIOs still have the microusb port in the side of the block?

Mine does, it’s Dumb

[gilded quest]

The last generation of that was H###i RGB Pro XT. I think those were 2019 releases

Elite Capellix/XT series switched to a hub called commander core that simplified cable managed

And now they use the LINK system for the premium AIOs

But the current nautilus is full PWM/aRGB

[young hare]

how are we going to clean up the space junk?

[winged spire]

There is none
