[pliant karma]

lol this happened on my campus

[harsh quartz]

What am I missing

Other than just bad parking

[pliant karma]

look how far they parked forward

sticking out enough anyone turning the corner can hit them

[pliant karma]

6 months ago, but rule one when parking on campus. Never get a spot where people turn.

The amount of hit and runs went up last semester

[harsh quartz]

Sounds like the campus doesn’t have good camera systems where they should

[pliant karma]

Unfortnately in the structures nope

[harsh quartz]

Thats kinda horrifying if the campus does night classes or anything after dark

[pliant karma]

Actually at night campus police are more frequent with patrols around the structures so aparently they have that covered lol

It's a dead campus after 9pm most days

Friday is especially dead after 4

[harsh quartz]

Idk I don’t like that

[pliant karma]

Tbf we're a commuter school so not much happens

[harsh quartz]

Anyways the Benadryl is making this conversation very hard to focus on, deuces

[pliant karma]

On the occasion solicitors causing fights so they're escorted off campus.

On my way to my final one tried to make me sign a petition, but kept on inisting and forcing in my face until I told him to f off.

makes sense

[polar fern]

I know him, he's the one who helps mow my mom's yard

we have a business relationship. all good my fren.

[sterile rivet]

mods please take a look into @sacred fractal he is a MASSIVE troll in other servers

as seen by the fact that he's spamming reacts here

i know bringing drama from other servers is frowned upon but i would rather stop it at the source so it doesnt spill over further

[alpine gale]

If an account posts something that violates the rules, 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 in a DM or another Discord Guild, report it directly to Discord. https://discord.com/safety/360044103651-reporting-abusive-behavior-to-discord

[sterile rivet]

Aight

I just want to keep this server professional

Cause this dude is a GIANT troll he does nothing else in the r/seattle server apparently

[alpine gale]

Then I recommend reporting them to the moderators of that Discord Guild so they can take appropriate action.

[sterile rivet]

They do not appear to care, he has a "Troll" role

observe

He may also be a mod/admin

[alpine gale]

Then report the account and move on. (For the record, no, I did NOT report your account - just using the UI to demonstrate where to find the report button on a user profile.) Discord will handle it accordingly.

[sterile rivet]

you better not have XD

Im already on thin ice because a super corrupt admin in the 'pisscord' shitposting server reported me for everything after i exposed him

If you'd like to know more, the guy goes by 'noah' and is one of the lead admins

Scammed me out of a bunch of Nitro gifts so i reported him to FBI/Interpol and cancelled my bank card

anyways, @alpine gale you busy?

[alpine gale]

Yes. I'm always busy. Side effect of ADHD. 👀

[vital basalt]

I love when windows wakes from sleep for no fucking reason at all and there's no fix but to reinstall,

Fucking terrible os

[vital basalt]

I hate windows with a passion

[humble moat]

hai

[vital basalt]

Hi

[humble moat]

i kinda need sm help

picking between 2 laptops

[split citrus]

Which 2?

[humble moat]

Asus tuf f16 2025, i7 14700HX, 5060 115w tdp 8gb, 16gb ddr 5 5600mhz, 1920x1080 165hz 400nits

vs

Hp omen 16, core ultra 7 225H, 5060 115w tdp 8gb, 24gb ddr 5 5600mhz, 1920x1200 144hz 400nits

[vital basalt]

This one

Faster cpu and more ram

144hz vs 165 wont be noticeable

[humble moat]

true but the build quality is significantly better on the tuf

[winged spire]

any way to mask my totally legit seeding from my ISP? ive heard its the thing most likely for them to send you a warning over

[vital basalt]

So

Just take care of it

I've had a shitty build quality laptop for years

Still in mint condition

[mint sandal]

Anyone think ln2 would work as a dielectric fluid

[winged spire]

yes

dielectric constant 1.5 or something

[mint sandal]

Let's say components were covered in cnt and facility was in arctic would that solve data centers issues

With something like this

[winged spire]

cnt = carbon nano tube?

[mint sandal]

Yeah

[winged spire]

that would be insanely expensive to do

[mint sandal]

Was thinking facility in arctic would solve majority of issues with signal to noise

[winged spire]

would be burried in snow in a couple years

and it would only work for things that dont require low latancy

[vapid loom]

Chat Alice?

Alive*

[winged spire]

atp its probably economically better to do the orbital datacenters

[mint sandal]

Only way I see latency issues being solved is if someone grew a cnt forest on a diamond substrate

The low heat would probably help making the cnt as well

[winged spire]

nasa has docs talking about carbon nanotube radiators for cooling in space

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20130001608/downloads/20130001608.pdf

[mint sandal]

High purity gold would probably help although would need to be in a vacuum

[winged spire]

copper is a better conductor than gold

[humble moat]

lmao im a pc user rn but i need a laptop for going abroad, so its really hard to pick cuz im going from a 1050ti to a 5060, pretty huge jump. Im not sure wht im looking for in a laptop, i will game on it fs, maybe blender nd stuff. These laptops are neck on neck on performance so i gotta choose the one which beats the other in a category which is relevant.

[vital basalt]

Omen is better spec wise

[mint sandal]

The gold would basically fill in gaps creating a solid state composite

[humble moat]

16 to 24gb is a huge jump?

[winged spire]

why would you use gold

[mint sandal]

Less thermal interface resistance so heat based latency goes down

[mint sandal]

schottky barrier

[vital basalt]

Depends on what your doing

The cpu is much better tho

[winged spire]

copper would be better

[humble moat]

hmmm

ill get the omen then?

[vital basalt]

Yes

[mint sandal]

Graphene coated cnt would be fun

Solves any weaknesses issues cnt has

But i really think the future is if sometime down the road diamond becomes the motherboard in a sense as a flat pcb

[humble moat]

okay aesthetic wise which do u think is better?

[viscid elm]

easy win on this one

arrow is at least a lot better than raptor in terms of not using a billion watts

[humble moat]

like why do i feel like the tuff kinda better tho

[viscid elm]

its not

[humble moat]

yeah but arghhhh

i cant decide for the life of me

[viscid elm]

the one that is best for your lap

[humble moat]

ion anything bout laptops thats the issue

if i did, i culd have done this a lot easier

[viscid elm]

well you do have the power of ai at your side

and this kinda stuff is what ai was made for

[humble moat]

even the ai cant decide

[humble moat]

exactly

[viscid elm]

in a laptop this is what you want

[humble moat]

tuf has more performance

[viscid elm]

on paper and for stuff outside of gaming

but gaming you will not notice it

[humble moat]

hmm

ig ill go with the omen then

but it comes default with optimus off

btw does a bigger refresh rate mean more battery drain?

[viscid elm]

i would hope so

[viscid elm]

yes

but the biggest issue for you would be the 14th gen being well a 14th gen cpu thus not being nice to that battery

[humble moat]

hmm

yup omen it is

Hi Everyone!

[sterile rivet]

I think you should join my server, i got a feeling you'd like it

[sterile rivet]

PTSD just kicked in

[alpine gale]

No thanks. I'm in too many as it is now.

[sterile rivet]

how many 💀

[grim tree]

ptsd?

[alpine gale]

Quantity doesn't matter. It's more than I can handle so I don't need to add another to the list.

[sterile rivet]

Your pfp and username triggerd some bullshit, in 2023 a discord server i was in got taken over by people who would never stop posting boykisser shit

[grim tree]

Who hurt you QwQ

[sterile rivet]

You

[grim tree]

Ouhhhhh

[grim tree]

lmaooo it's just a popular meme :3

[sterile rivet]

It was painfully unfunny

To the point we would instantly reply with stuff like this

And then ping the mods who would instantly mute the dudes who posted the boykisser "memes" for 10000 years

Let me see if i can find it

[grim tree]

idk I just the whole meme is cute lol

[sterile rivet]

Oh yeah here we go

haha

dude @grim tree every other fucking meme posted in that server in the summer of 2023 was that fucking meme

mfs were so mad that they were drawing comics in response lmfaoooo

literally the ENTIRE SERVER except for like 13 people were constantly trying to get these mfs to leave or straight up kill theyselves

thats how mad people were

ok holy shit you gotta see this for yourself @grim tree

[obsidian horizon]

join and leave 💔

[sterile rivet]

[hollow shard]

Can some one recommend an alternative Windows backup software? I'm currently using windows backup...

[sterile rivet]

i like some artists who also make absolutley fucking atrocious shit that makes me want to beat them up

[sterile rivet]

No clue, wait 8 hours then ask again

[hollow shard]

ok

[grim tree]

what's your current issues / what are you hoping for in a switch?

[hollow shard]

Well I was told I should use something other than the Windows 7 back up to back up my windows PC.

So I was looking for recommendations.

[grim tree]

why? as long as you are backing up to a separate drive your fine.

unless you are doing soemthing like, critically important

[hollow shard]

No I'm just backing up to a external hard drive.

Nothing really special. But I keep hearing I shouldn't use Windows 7 back up and that I should use an althernative.

[grim tree]

You're fine. You don't really need more then one redudancy unless you think it is a serious loss for you if, for example your house burnt down and your computer did not make it.

[hollow shard]

Well I mean if my PC goes down it would be a serious loss....

of time that is...

So the old windows backup is fine?

[grim tree]

The only thing other tools can do is help with speed and maybe a viuew extra tools, but if windows 7 backup works for you, it works fine. Still if you are really sure about wanting to switch you can use Macrium Reflect. I hear good things about it even on the free skew and it's really stable.

[grim tree]

Fine for the most part. I would still reccomend a cloud backup at least once a month if things change a lot and you keep really important documents or something. Google Cloud is cheap and their free storage is usually enough if you are storing PDFs and things.

[hollow shard]

What cloud service do you use?

[grim tree]

personally I use a mix, one is google cloud for family photos and documentation for travel and stuff since that my parents have access too. For personal files and photos I use a service that comes with my Email provider or I have a cold store in another residence that I backup too once a year. It's more of an archive than a backup though. Truely I just don't have anything important stored on my computers or phones.

Anything important it's usually my notes and those are stored in GitHub

[hollow shard]

oh ok

Well I'm just backing up to restore my work files.

I guess I'll stick with windows backup.

[grim tree]

It's perfectly acceptable imo.

If you are looking for a cloud storage subscription Google One costs about 2 USD a month for 100GB of storage.

Easy to use and if you are using Gmail or other google products they intergrate well.

[hollow shard]

ok thanks for the info.

[uneven stirrup]

I know

[fossil frost]

which is the entire point of.. a cooler

[uneven stirrup]

Stays under 78°C

[unborn briar]

wdymmm

how do i fix that issue??

[fossil frost]

what have you tried

what research have you done?

what info have you gathered?

"it doesnt work" doesnt tell anybody anything

[unborn briar]

i have had issues before with cod not working when using spotify. well restarting pc or closing spotify didn't work. i have tried to verify the files also. when i open the game it says its launching and then it just stops

[fossil frost]

have you tried checking the logs? have you tried windows event viewer? have you tried searching for the issue on google to see if others have the same issues? basic things that should be done when any application crashes or freezes

[dusky epoch]

Didn’t know where to ask this question so I’ll ask here, any recommendations for chairs? I pretty much only game at my set up, on the weekends casually. Looking for chairs that are around 200 usd. Looked at the hbada e2

[unborn briar]

i didn't find anything from google

and i dont know what logs

there is no log files

tried deleting a specific file and veirying files again

not even that much...

we got like -20C to -27C

dam that’s cold that’s like the coldest ive ever exprienced, which i think was skiing in Lublin, Poland one winter vacation

bit depressing tbh. rest of poland is more goated

[wind dust]

i’m actually going to crash out

[harsh quartz]

wrong apostrophe

[obsidian horizon]

depends on game

i cant play rocket leagues below 120 fps

i play it at 165 tho 120 isnt that noticeable

but 60 is bad

[lament crystal]

Well bethesda games are capped at 60 because their engine is fucky

[obsidian horizon]

on the other hand i have played many other games that run at 60

or below

[lament crystal]

If it goes over 60fps, the physics breaks down

[obsidian horizon]

well

for me, if i never play a game above 60

i dont mind 60 fps

what matters is how i play it in the starting

[viscid elm]

aint it way way easier to just use websites for this

know people who have searched like 200 places

[lament crystal]

<@&750150305383186585>

Hi guys... I've tried everything (even regedit stuff) to get windows 11 volume above 69% does anyone knows any radical solution for this?

[gilded quest]

https://klipy.com/gifs/mad-max-tom-hardy-2

[crude veldt]

i locked my cat out my room.

[pseudo girder]

lol, well i fixed the windows startup corruption a long time ago, disabling fast boot was the real trick to not having to use external startup repair since it corrupted the installed one every single time until i found it....

found the reason it happened so often too.... video check on post failing due to my monitor specifically not initializing fast enough for the pc to recognize it, getting stuck on white, or green with a black dim screen if the monitor boots up too late. its this monitor, tried an old but namebrand one.... worked fine. this dirt cheap gaming monitor is probably using some really jank technology tbh. so not initializing fast enough for post if its not already on is weird... but id probably say not unheard of for sketchy dirt cheap monitors lol

and abunch of post failures because your screen is currently turning off as your pc is restarting..... guess its time for a new monitor, im not broke like i was then lol

asus mobo, white and green lights, and 100% tied to the monitor. atleast i know its not the pc.

[slim obsidian]

[eager venture]

Is the reason HDMI ports on laptops can't accept video input, a software or hardware limitation?

[pseudo girder]

im not sure how this worked, but post failure even without windows trying to init, would initialize a chkdsk

[fossil frost]

input and output are completely different hardware

[pseudo girder]

because its an output not a capture card

[slim obsidian]

yep, capture cards are for accepting inputs

[pseudo girder]

you can get a dirt cheap capture card, or a nice one for a good price.

[eager venture]

Yeah I alr know about capture cards, but I was just wondering if the tech in a HDMI port in a monitor is different than a laptop

[slim obsidian]

yea it is

different signals

[pseudo girder]

its a kind of capture card with a different output, to monitor vs to software.

[fossil frost]

the hdmi port on a laptop is connected to the gpu of the laptop.. in the same way the hdmi on a desktop is connected to a gpu.. there is no difference.. hdmi IN, is a completely different set of hardware on the other side of the port

[slim obsidian]

funilly enough i liked to use the feature on xboxes that allowed you to connect an input into the xbox so you could save a port on your TV

recorded a switch with it

[fossil frost]

HDMI passthrough on the xbox meant that you had what was effectively a capture card built into the xbox

[slim obsidian]

yup

Quest 3 also has capture card functionality so i can connect a reciever up to it if i wanted to

[pseudo girder]

a monitor or capture card is connected to a decoder connected to an output, a port on a laptop or graphics card is connected to an encoder that sends a signal.

[slim obsidian]

instead of a TV in my room i just use this

saves space

[pseudo girder]

think of it like radios, transmitter and reciever, neither can do the job of the other.

[slim obsidian]

[eager venture]

I wonder if thunderbolt 6 or whatever iteration will implement 2 way video input and output natively

[pseudo girder]

usbc to displayport exists. although ive never been into mobile gaming so im unaware of wether certain devices use thunderbolt for this.

[slim obsidian]

my issue with usb to display stuff is when they call it a display out but it's just a data and power signal, and no display whatsoever

[oak pier]

They're talking about bidirectional video, but i don't see how that would be a benefit to everything

[oak pier]

there are thunderbolt displays that do video+power via one usb c cable

[pseudo girder]

that makes sense, why would you want a usb only monitor when you can get a dongle for 5 dollars

[fossil frost]

the problem is, you need a TB port on your device that supports that.. most dont. very select few implement display, let alone display+power

[slim obsidian]

ye, but i remember when they advertised vrheadsets with display input/output from your PC and it was just a data signal the whole time

[eager venture]

Yeah, like using my laptop as a monitor without extra software, etc

[pseudo girder]

small devices like the ally i think do have a display out/dock compatible port

[eager venture]

Sadly I haven't found any handheld that takes in display in

[pseudo girder]

oh so like that, not a capture card.... not with the way laptops work, theres no direct line in i think any device that allows the monitor of a laptop to be used as a monitor. they are through software that has no such features with either amd or nvidia.

[slim obsidian]

maybe im wrong but i think there are remote desktop apps like parsec (?) that do this?

[oak pier]

i honestly don't see the appeal for using a handheld/laptop as just a display

[slim obsidian]

know some mixer friends that use it as a controller for djing in weird wacky ways

[pseudo girder]

yea remote desktop works for my desktop. being able to jack into a laptops screen would be cool, but probably extra bulk and engineering for a feature most people didnt ask for... its usually the opposite. laptop to bigger screen.

[slim obsidian]

saw another use a steam deck as a guitar pedal

[pseudo girder]

only option is anydesk or any remote desktop software, although thats gotta be the simplest when you can just type in your pcs network name and its connected.

[eager venture]

Oh I alr know of them [Moonlight + Sunshine] but it's only 4k 120hz

[slim obsidian]

seems decent enough for a side monitor

[pseudo girder]

oh, well stuff like that, ive used moonlight. if you want it for gaming id use that or steam inhome

[oak pier]

only 4k 120?

[slim obsidian]

most internet connections can't even handle that many pixels lmao

[pseudo girder]

lol, yea this is decent for wireless vr with a dedicated connection with 6E..... at point blank.

[oak pier]

i mean that's all you need for wireless VR, is point blank

[slim obsidian]

i do that at home myself, more convenient since VD is way better lol

i even get color passthrough of my desktop

[pseudo girder]

its not the internet connection, its your router.... youd want a puppis s1 vr bridge between your devices, its designed to go way above 120hz 4k, keep in mind this is short range. theres not many devices capable of doing what you want.

[slim obsidian]

yupyup, i got two deco 6e routers as access points

[eager venture]

My laptops display is way better than my desktops. 27' 1440p 165hz ips vs 16' 2560x1600 240hz glossy OLED

I payed for 240 I'm using 240 lmao

[pseudo girder]

its for vr, but its specifically a bridge designed for 1 to 1 devices and hitches a ride of your internet. it pushes 2500mbps with almost no latency. and can well exceed what you want.

it specifically hitches a ride on your desktops wifi through usb delivering internet and a strong independant signal to one device.

[slim obsidian]

i was lookin into it but so far it's fine

can play competitive beat saber well

more my own skill issue than internet

[pseudo girder]

i got it because it runs atleast with virtual desktop, FAR better than wired when it comes to latency numbers... and its a wireless access point.

pushes 1344mbps usually over 70 feet away with walls in the way. far exceeding the max 500mbps with the codec i chose

[slim obsidian]

oculus PC software is basically abandonware

[oak pier]

what is this website?

[slim obsidian]

beatleader, mod for beat saber to rank players, works cross platform on quest versions of the game too unlike scoresaber

they have a custom saber mod too that is really neat, can make your own in game

that's patreon tho

[pseudo girder]

yea, before wireless became good i used it lol.... virtual desktop became amazing around 3 years ago. the features make it exceed native output with the right router. latency is below what id get with oculus pc software back then XD

[slim obsidian]

AV1 over VR is heckin sick

started using it when i upgraded to my 9070xt

[pseudo girder]

vd?

[slim obsidian]

yea

[eager venture]

Groks saying I'd need 30k mbps to use the displays full potential

[pseudo girder]

the reason i do is because upper body tracking and hand tracking passthrough, im unaware if thats available rn

[pseudo girder]

grok is smoking something

[eager venture]

Should specify I'm talking about my laptops display

[pseudo girder]

compression and codecs are a thing

codecs are a thing, meaning these numbers are probably representing uncompressed data.

[slim obsidian]

ye

[pseudo girder]

which can be 1000 to 1

likely more like 10 to 1 in this case tho.

[slim obsidian]

what makes ya favorite streamers video look crisp is how much bitrate they pushing out at once

less the gear itself

[pseudo girder]

probably more like 50 to 1 if youre talking about 4k 240hz, you can push a crystal clear 4k image at 90 with 3-500mbps... so youd be talking about 1500-2500... so yea a dedicated 1 to 1 device connection is reccomended for 240fps stability.

rough estimates, but with the right codec.

[slim obsidian]

[pseudo girder]

the crispness over a stream and the bad watercolor washout is due to inconsistent bandwidth affecting bitrate which bottlenecks the codecs set output. which is why for something demanding more than an hdmi cable is capable of over wifi needs that 1 on 1.

it causes compression artifacting.... because the codec struggles to deal with the lack of expected headroom from your router.

if you ever get the puppis s1, i have the software saved.... both app and pc program. finding it anymore is like looking for that m.2 screw you dropped on the carpet XD

luckily theres a pc repair place about a mile away, and i can just bum one off of them like i did once lol.... theres just like "the transaction costs more then the screw XD"

ironic there in lil barcoded individual baggies. they had a whole BOX of those, makes sense, theyre so tiny and not used in bulk.

Lmao

[pale folio]

I'm still laughing about the wage segment of the Wan show and Linus presenting graphs. Like no y label, weird context. Just like apple graphs

[fossil frost]

linus shouldnt need to show anything like that.. the whole thing about jake bitching stinks of sour grapes because he was the employee and not the employer.. linus gets to have a massive house, linus gets to have multiple cars, linus gets to own multiple buildings because he put the work in, he took the gamble, he decided to set up his own company, from nothing... jake walked into an established business, bought a BMW that cost more than the deposit of the house he was saying he cant afford.. and then used the popularity he got from LTT as a spring board to then go on his own... zero risk for jake, and he then slammed the door in linus's face on the way out

the whole thing should have been "man quits job and bitches about former employer", and nobody would have given a shit, because that happens 1000s of times a day

[somber crane]

except having watched the Jake video, Jake wasn't bitching, he just figured he was ready for a new direction in life

literally something the majority of people eventually find

that said if LMG, and literally every other company out there, wanted to make it really difficult for pay structure to be bitched about, they could replace traditional bonus structures with a fair version of profit sharing (because unfair versions of this exist, where they are designed to sound good on paper, but work out to nothing while fatcats eat your lunch)

I literally do not understand how someone watches the Jake video and their take is Linus is bad

[silver sun]

748

[fossil frost]

the fact that he made the video at all, knowing that it would cause blowback on LTT and boost his own viewing

[restive lion]

Idk I think he's just salty about not getting a raise in 3 years

Which seems... pretty reasonable

[fossil frost]

otherwise "man quits job that has gone stale" isnt video worthy, unless you are trying to boost your own channel at the expense of somebody elses

[fossil frost]

quitting and doing something else is one thing, making this video is quite another

[restive lion]

Meh that's just how the internet goes

I'm surprised he waited as long as he did

[fossil frost]

ive quit my last 3 jobs because of not getting a raise or a bonus i was supposed to get... i didnt then go on to make a video about it

i also dont go round buying BMWs that are the price of a house deposit.. and then complain that i cant afford a house, and that is my bosses fault

[restive lion]

But you might if your income was based on it :) presumably you're not in such a position

[fossil frost]

increasing my own profile by shitting on somebody else? no.. no thanks. id rather stand on my own merits than making a hit piece video

and thats another thing.. hes making that video to remind people, and inform new people, that he was at LTT, he doesnt work there anymore.. he cant cash the LTT cheque forever... he left... he should be confident and comfortable with his own value, and work with his own value

[restive lion]

To me it didn't read like a hit piece but to each their own I suppose

Maybe I'm just more optimistic about people lol

[fossil frost]

he saw what has happened with the other "we left ltt because" videos, and saw that those videos get a LOT of views, and cause a lot of blowback and headaches for LTT.. he then had a choice to make a bunch of easy money for himself at LTTs expense.. or.. not

to me, it shows he isnt comfortable standing on his own, and he needs to keep playing the LTT card. otherwise, why not just get on with running his own company ?

[pseudo girder]

does a failed post boot the system drive and cause potential corruption? skipped a checkdisk and got a bluescreen. did it now and it had things to fix, took a few seconds. but maybe booting the disk and powering it off because of that is an issue. happened earlier and i found the issue. but never did the checkdisk and got an error screen that wasnt even blue and the whole system crashed.

probably fine now. checkdisk somehow had things to restore.... even tho it never got past post.

was a video out error.

not worried, just curious.

[crude veldt]

i need to take off the back of my laptop but all i have are metal screwdrivers. how can i take it off without shorting anything?

[pseudo girder]

that wont short anything nobody uses non-metal screwdrivers

[plush grotto]

those delivery drones dont give a single fuck

[vapid smelt]

[winged spire]

Amazon’s suck apparently

No failure mode should allow the thing to crash to the ground and have the props continue spinning

Absolutely irresponsible and bad engineering

Oh

The self driving car

[plush grotto]

yea, its a drone

[pseudo girder]

the potential of shorting is way oversold nowadays... definately possible if youre careless, but youre definately set if using a screwdriver concerns you. its unlikely.

a possibility, but relatively unlikely. just dont have static on your back and youre probably ok to not cause any problems.

shirt stuck, hurts when you touch the car door getting out lol. thats different, sun is beaming down on days that happens on a hot car top.

[crude veldt]

I mean plying the back off. They have screws then you have to pry it off. Lenovo thinkpads are a pain

[pseudo girder]

most laptops have that. but you wont short anything using metal tools, but id use prytools to pry the back after the screws are removed, theres absolutely no concern removing case screws with shorting it.

but if youre that concerned what do you need to fix?

because the case and screws are of no concern to harming the internals, unless you plan to do something inside the laptop.

which model thinkpad, there is a teardown and complete guide probably

@crude veldt

[crude veldt]

Just worried about the screwdriver making contact with pins
Had my laptop not turn on before and it was just the sim slot on the motherboard shorting two solders

[plush grotto]

98% of all new cars sold are EV's

[winged spire]

oh thats less than I thought

[plush grotto]

95,9% of all cars sold last year was EV's

[winged spire]

kinda shocked how low the 3 is

its like 5k cheaper! even on the used market

[winged spire]

why is byd so low

do yall just tarrif the hell out of them?

[plush grotto]

[winged spire]

is that before incentives

[plush grotto]

we dont have any incentives

[winged spire]

gov incentives

EVs are excempt from VAT in norway

[plush grotto]

under 300k

[winged spire]

yeah thats a lot lol

[plush grotto]

anything over 300k is VAT

[winged spire]

anything over your 49,000$ has vat

thats a very generous incentive

[plush grotto]

$31021

[winged spire]

https://electrek.co/2025/10/15/norway-says-mission-accomplished-on-going-100-ev-proposes-incentive-changes/

did it get reduced

[plush grotto]

so if the price of the car is 41k you only get taxed of 10k

[winged spire]

thousands saved

[plush grotto]

it was at 51k

now lowered to 31k

in 2028 its going to 0

[winged spire]

https://evmagazine.com/news/how-is-norway-leading-in-the-electric-vehicle-transition

reduced toll fees

[plush grotto]

50%

[winged spire]

yes.. thats a lot

the tax incentives alone make your $50k car nearly 8k cheaper

[plush grotto]

now they also want to give us a road tax

for the gaz gusslers its paid as a fee on the fuel

[chrome vector]

I know the pain. Norway might be a bit colder than Michigan on average (although the amount of snow we get in comparison is up in the air, sometimes more sometimes less because of lake effect and it depends if it's the lower peninsula or upper peninsula), but man we have a really shitty road and a very steep dirt driveway.

Don't you just love driving through a foot of snow?

There's a solid 10-12 foot drop on one end of our driveway

︀︀
︀︀Repairs
︀︀- Two seals have been replaced where the high hydrogen gas concentrations were
︀︀- Reconnecting interfaces expected by Monday 9th
︀︀- Testing will happen at Stennis to "evaluate additional dynamics of the plates"
︀︀- "Engineers are reviewing options to test the repair work prior to the next wet dress rehearsal to ensure the seals are performing as expected."
︀︀
︀︀Changes for next WDR
︀︀- Orion hatch will be closed prior to next WDR.
︀︀- Closeout Crew NOT going to pad.
︀︀- CAA not retracted during terminal count.
︀︀- 30 mins extra time added to the planned hold before fuelling, and the planned hold after fuelling, allowing more troubleshooting time.
︀︀
︀︀These changes are interesting, considering the Orion closeout operations caused a significant amount of the delays & difficulties on the first wet dress.

yes

it also got fp8

I got only 5 5600gt so is it still good choice

And im still on ddr4

If I would get 4070 normal one not ti or super would it be better than the 3080 10gb

[viscid elm]

you can literally see the performance difference from here

[idle parcel]

Wdym

[viscid elm]

does the 4070 have bigger number on the chart in the picture i sent vs 3080 10GB

[idle parcel]

Yeap

So I should go with it even tho my other componets arent that powerful?

they want ID to prove you're an adult to get rid of it

[alpine gale]

Wow. Given their track record, what could possibly go wrong? 🤔 😢

[slate agate]

I can see the headlines in the future, huge data leak (again)

[plush grotto]

If only they could use the same system Norway has it would probably work

We already have a fully digital ID system

And if a website wants to confirm your age you log in via the BankID website that sends the info the website asks for.
So if the website needs name and age they will only get name and age. Not the entire ID

[sage quiver]

Or they could use Apple's system

https://developer.apple.com/wallet/get-started-with-verify-with-wallet/

Ideally with the scope limited to age only...

Though it doesn't seem they're granting entitlements to social apps just yet

[plush grotto]

Then I need to upload my shit to apple

[sage quiver]

Would you sooner trust Apple or some random third party?

[plush grotto]

Ngl, third party non American

[sage quiver]

Here's the Google equivalent: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/digital-credentials-api-shipped

[plush grotto]

Hub is Canadian I believe

[supple pawn]

Correct

Them Canadians know what you want and will give it to you, for a price.

[plush grotto]

Like in today's world no matter what you do, Americans are getting your data. Whether you like it or not.

[sage quiver]

Here's Apple's data policy for their version (currently US only afaik)

Driver's license versions involve more data sharing since the state is the issuing authority rather than Apple.

It also lets you know exactly what info is being requested when you present your "digital ID"

[plush grotto]

Still don't like giving stuff to apple.

Since its likely a higher power car compared to others, I wonder if it will have fast charging capabilities compared to what is out there, and whether traditional chargers are going to charge them too slow. I mean there won't be that many out there, but still a thought

[winged spire]

It probably won’t be higher power than other car chargers

[static perch]

unless you can just swap the battery of the car yourself and get a replacement for a reasonable price an EV is a horrible idea

[thick obsidian]

I'm just imaginging a battery with an absurdly high discharge rate to match the power that Ferrari is affiliated with

[plush grotto]

New car hmmmmmm

[cedar forge]

Mustard on the beat ho

[plush grotto]

Have you heard of NiO?

[winged spire]

It’s easier to swap a battery than it is an engine

Tesla battery changes are same say once the new pack arrives

[static perch]

i have not

[plush grotto]

Battery swap station for their cars

[winged spire]

Only a thing I’d consider on a rental car

I want My battery

[static perch]

so how do they solve the battery issues?

[winged spire]

I do not want to lease a battery

[thick obsidian]

whaaat??

[plush grotto]

Wdym?

[thick obsidian]

that's insane that I haven't heard of that with how much tech and car news shows up on my FYP's

[sage quiver]

Nio does battery swaps, but they aren’t really ideal

[oak pier]

Nickel is also a less harmful to the environment metal to acquire iirc

[sage quiver]

Because so much of your car value is tied to its battery health, and you can’t expect every random pack they have on hand to be equivalent to yours

[winged spire]

Exactly 🎯

[thick obsidian]

I also can't imagine it would be easy to find a battery swapping station

[plush grotto]

And with a Nio the battery health will always be 100% if you do the swaps

[static perch]

battery degrades over time and the car is kinda e-waste.
thats whats usually happening

[oak pier]

how?

[winged spire]

They’re all over the places Nio operates

[winged spire]

No

[oak pier]

How would you only ever get a brand new battery swapped in

[sage quiver]

That would be a massive waste

Only keeping brand new batteries on hand?

[winged spire]

Charging speed is not even a big factor in EVs anymore

[sage quiver]

For most people, an overnight charge is sufficient

[oak pier]

for day to day to commutes, it’s a non-issue

even on a 120v 20a

[winged spire]

For roadtrips it’s not an issue either, 10 minutes to 80% charge

[plush grotto]

When you have cars with 500+km range its MORE than enough

[oak pier]

at a supercharger, you aren’t always guaranteed that though

[sage quiver]

Of course, the ability to charge at home makes a MASSIVE difference

[plush grotto]

Or for free at work

[winged spire]

In US and Canada there’s more than enough EV infrastructure

Basically universal

[oak pier]

also it doubles the charge time if another car is charging at a paired charger

[sage quiver]

Not anymore, at least for Superchargers

[winged spire]

At shitty old networks yes

[oak pier]

at a paired charger, not all EV chargers work like that though

[winged spire]

NACS supports speeds upto 500kw

Battery swapping is a wasted venture

Some of the Chinese cars are charging at over 1000

Not that I would trust those batteries in the long term

[oak pier]

no way 1GW charging is good for battery life

On a sedan sized pack no

Porsche hasn’t released their wireless charging system yet I don’t think

[lunar coyote]

My kids watched the video with Randy and Jane picking phones. How old are they. My kids want phone and they are 7 and 11. I feel like they are too young for phones

[winged spire]

After the first one comes out every manufacturer will follow

[oak pier]

you’re the only one who can decide if your kids are ready for a phone

it’s less about age and more about maturity

[lunar coyote]

At this rate then the 7 year old will get a phone first lol

[winged spire]

Is this more demo hardware

The concept of wireless charging is already very well known idk why everyone keeps demoing they physically can do it

Obviously it comes down to if it’s good or not

Efficient, convenient

[sage quiver]

If we get rid of the AI datacenters I'm ok with losing power to wireless charging inefficiency :)

[static perch]

i would still take the cheaper and more efficent option and just connect a dam cable

cheaper to buy and cheaper to run

[winged spire]

They’re upwards of 90% so it’s not even that bad

There’s a forklift company that does like 19kw systems above 95%

[static perch]

if you get the perfectly allined

[thick obsidian]

hear me out

[winged spire]

You would have to yes

[sage quiver]

What about dirt

[winged spire]

Wym

[thick obsidian]

MASSIVE magnetic pogo connectors

[winged spire]

It would go through dirt

[sage quiver]

Without efficiency loss? I guess if it's high powered enough

[winged spire]

Unless your dirt is like all made of iron I guess

[thick obsidian]

this would totally work and not be a horrible idea

[winged spire]

Pogo pins let you short the pins so easily lol

[sage quiver]

if ur going with magnets anyway just replace the cars with maglev

[winged spire]

Imagine shorting 400v 1000a 😭😭😭😭

[oak pier]

me dumping 240v to the negative of my car

[thick obsidian]

i cannot see this going wrong at all. In fact, let's put cameras under the car and then have the car automatically align itself to the pogo pins on the floor. I don't think it will run anything over or ram through a wall at all

[winged spire]

You’d turn into a fucking silhouette burned into the concrete lol

[winged spire]

The porche does this

Basically all the wireless charging systems would have to

Auto align

[sage quiver]

Can kids watch the camera feed from the rear display

[winged spire]

Probably

[sage quiver]

like on a plane lmao

pothole + roadkill cam

[winged spire]

I love watching my camera feeds in the car wash

I can see all the little gremlins licking my car clean

[thick obsidian]

it would be worse if it got dragged along for a bit

[sage quiver]

noooo

[winged spire]

Have you seen the porche true sight thing

It’s kinda crazu

[sage quiver]

Is that their sentry mode or what

[plush grotto]

[winged spire]

Trying to find

I forgot the name

It’s basically a thermal and IR camera

Detects people and animals and whatnot

They sell 220$ gas caps

[sage quiver]

neat

[tepid sparrow]

What the hell is "turbonite"

Is it a rare material? Like unobtanium?

[winged spire]

Color

They own the color turbonite

[tepid sparrow]

Ohh, I thought it was a joke material

[summer folio]

Can't believe how based Linus kids are.

[vapid smelt]

Because the gas cap is a super visible thing! Everyone that walks or drives past it can see it!

[patent ibex]

Well, i was considering moving to an alternative like Matrix (Element) but if they actually go through with this then... it will be the push that me and probably many others need.

[oak pier]

if you’re buying a porsche, a $220 cap is far from a major expense

[alpine gale]

This would have to work in countries outside of the US though, and of course not require an Apple ID or Apple Device to use. (No idea if it does or not - I'm not an apple device / service user.)

[sage quiver]

It’s stored on-device in your Apple Wallet, so unfortunately won’t meet your criteria :P

Either way, it doesn’t need to be the sole option. It’s just one many would prefer over trusting Discord to find a partner that won’t leak ID info again…

[alpine gale]

Neither, to be honest. The only organization that should ever have direct access to my identity document is the issuing agency, or law enforcement, of which ID verification services are neither.

Depends on people's jurisdictions and the exact form of ID though. For example, 2/3 of my credit cards explicitly say they cannot ever be used as a form of ID so yeah... It's weird.

[alpine gale]

True this. I'm 110% on board with providing people with as many options as possible, so long as they're vetted to be secure and there are monetary fines and/or jail time for failure to safeguard PII. Requires government intervention though so that'll never happen. 🤣

[sage quiver]

Which is fair, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that ID verification is here to stay. So it’s a matter of finding the solution that involves sharing the least amount of data in the most trustworthy way, rather than avoiding it altogether.

There’s also the alternate angle, which is a not-unreasonable distrust in governments to create a secure digital ID system of their own - or an unwillingness to potentially share details about the services you use with them.

[vapid smelt]

I've broken into the mod chat

[sage quiver]

In which case a system like Apple’s is desirable, since they’re the issuing authority and everything is stored on device (after the initial verification).

[alpine gale]

Error: to continue chatting, please verify your ID.

[sage quiver]

Please tap the nfc chip sewn into your standard issue mod fedora

[vapid smelt]

O here it's just in my pocket 🖕 😆

Has any country made an Internet verification id yet?

[somber crane]

I think Canada Post Identity+ is not a bad compromise, as a digital way of using a physical ID

if they could fix the damn problems with it not working in very specific weird ways on mobile devices

I had to walk someone 80 years my senior through its use when I was volunteering in the Liberal leadership vote

that... she was very polite, but it took 2 hours to get her ballot to register properly

[vapid smelt]

Fuck that 2 hours?!

[somber crane]

the demands of democracy require we cannot abandon a single voter

[sage quiver]

I guess I just like the idea of holding it locally on your device and not being required to authenticate via an online account. That, and full transparency for what is shared with the service you’re logging into.

[vapid smelt]

Yeah I get you have to but if I was on the other end I would have gave up

[somber crane]

the cool thing about ID+ is all its doing is verifying you are who you claim to be, a handshake and that's it

its just MFA tied to a government ID

[alpine gale]

Estonia. I'm sure their system has flaws, but they went digital back in the late 1990's... Other countries would be wise to consult with them, rather than reinvent the wheel. https://e-estonia.com/story/

Banking, government meetings, taxes, parking all digitized in or before 2000.
Digital ID, voting, healthcare, prescription drugs all in or before 2010.

[somber crane]

the thing that sucks is you need to manually copy and paste linked from the app to use on mobile, or use it in conjunction with a second device where you are trying to log in somewhere on the second device, because leaving the app by clicking a link in app breaks the handshake sequence

got very familiar with that error, was the most common problem to come up

I don't think I'd like an ID that was digital to begin with, because it could never be air gapped and air gapping would be the only way to secure it, but tying physical ID to an MFA security app does seem like a good compromise, at least on the surface

Voting is still stuck on paper here, probably not many years before a digital voting system is greenlit.

I don't trust discord to store my ID and not share it with third parties that I never consented to

[plush grotto]

Should just be a single request
"Hey show us an id to let us know you are (age)"
Delete info after age is determined and maybe request it again in 6-12 months to verify it's still the same user.

[cerulean talon]

I feel called out when Elijah said “why is your dad buying you a phone when all you do is discord”

That’s literally me!

Do I need a pro max? No…but I got one

[alpine gale]

I wish I could trust such a process, but Discord has shown they're too irresponsible to ensure such data stored "temporarily" in their third party support ticket system was actually, in fact, stored temporarily. (If I recall, this was the source of the last egregious compromise of PII.)

I couldn't even trust a former employer to delete my provincially issued COVID vaccine QR code because they wouldn't answer my simple question asking how they were handling pictures of our QR codes we uploaded to the internal Microsoft Forms Form. 🤷

[errant sun]

:(

[plush grotto]

If it could work like a bouncer at a bar it would be fine.
But for some reason the bouncer has a really good memory, but after a random time he forgets your face and needs to check your id again.

[alpine gale]

This. And the bouncer must be impervious to wrench attacks.

https://xkcd.com/538/

xkcd: Security

Actual actual reality: nobody cares about his secrets. (Also, I would be hard-pressed to find that wrench for $5.)

[plush grotto]

There is always more than one bouncer

[alpine gale]

bouncer = n+1 ? 🤔

[plush grotto]

But also the bouncer does not remember your id, all the bouncer remembers is that "yea this guy is 18+, he is cool"

Maybe he remembers your birthday

[alpine gale]

Yes. Specifically the cool part. Not the remembering my birthday part.

[patent ibex]

The application gaining traction right now after the discord announcement is Root apparently

[plush grotto]

How hard can it be to put a flag on an account that is (age) expires (date).

[alpine gale]

Not difficult... And you don't even need to store Personally Identifiable Information like a birthdate to do it either. After age verification one time, store an epoch value that represents how long until a person is of age in their country, for example.

[plush grotto]

Literally "has user passed age check? What category to place user in?"

13+, 16+, 18+, 25+, etc etc

[alpine gale]

Yeah. I mean, it's like Rob Pue's border crossing skit:

1. Are you a terrorist? No, of course not. 👀
2. Are you bringing any fruits or vegetables? Yes - guess where!
3. Are you carrying more than $10,000 in cash? Buddy, do I look wealthy?
   But perhaps a little less jokey and a little more serious...

[vapid smelt]

Everyone bully them for the poor financial decision!

How long until we see these used as the perfect SAM launch platforms in the Middle East

[frank gulch]

i would but the quality of the game engine bothers me. portal 1 was fine and alyx was fine but hl1 and 2 feel very dated

[winged spire]

Hl 1 is definitely very dated

Aged pretty poorly even as far as games that old go

Black mesa my beloved

[vapid smelt]

Nah

[winged spire]

lol

[frank gulch]

even black mesa. its def better but still not better enough. certain aspects make me feel like i am still playing a game from the 90s

[winged spire]

That’s a good thing

It should still feel like that

[alpine gale]

If I haven't suggested already, Horizon Zero Dawn / Forbidden West, or The Last of Us series.

[shut birch]

Detroit Become Human, Valheim, Subnautica, GTHN

[astral sail]

GTHN -> as in GTNH, greg tech new horizons right?

[shut birch]

yeah GTNH my bad

[harsh quartz]

If we’re listing all the Sony ones, Returnal should probably be in there

Returnal, risk of rain, bioshock are probably my top 3. E33 is pretty close now

[frank gulch]

i played the horizon games. or tried to but i never get far because the diologue bothers me so much that i stop playing. i tried returnal a year ago, but got bored about 2 hours in with the gameplay loop. risk of rain and bioshock i never tried. e33 i love the story and setting and everything but turn based combat is not for me. i dont like the downtime between turns and that sort of stuff. if there could be a mod that makes e33 into live combat but changes nothing else that would be perfect

[harsh quartz]

I think we’ve had this conversation before and I still think that’s a horrible horrible idea

[frank gulch]

yeh i get why you think that but my attention span is so fucked that i litteraly cannot sit and wait while an ai takes a turn so idk

https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/09/discord-to-roll-out-age-verification-next-month-for-full-access-to-its-platform/

We each need to decide how to proceed. Many are opposed. But since age verification is a real need, how is any platform to do it?

@grim marten the entire video is ai right?

i honestly can’t if this is some newest model but these symbols are cursed
