[rustic tundra]

they were invented by those french dutch

[versed void]

tastier sure but problem is where you get the taste from

[obsidian horizon]

spices

[rustic tundra]

by stealing spices from india

just like the british did

[obsidian horizon]

i am in india

[obsidian horizon]

i cant

[versed void]

in hindi?

[obsidian horizon]

unless you write it in hindi

[versed void]

aah okay then

[obsidian horizon]

ye

[rustic tundra]

just write the latin script

[versed void]

i met a indian so that i could speak and get it better mofo said like 2 hindi words per sentence

outside of that full english

[obsidian horizon]

bruh

in india some people would insert 20-30% english when they'r speaking

[versed void]

that was more then 20% thats for sure :d

[rustic tundra]

english is one official language of india

[obsidian horizon]

yeah

[rustic tundra]

the british influence was crazy

[obsidian horizon]

but its weird when they speak 100% english in indian accent

[rustic tundra]

it was so crazy they made them drive on the wrong side

[versed void]

even though i learned hindi i would never go to india i would %100 get killed in there by a virus

[frozen wraith]

Anyone know what would cause an OCCT extreme CPU test to cause a no-BSOD crash after about 3 minutes?
#tech-chat-1 message

[versed void]

its not racist by the way there are viruses that we are not used to

[obsidian horizon]

u wont

[versed void]

so we can actually die without vaccine

[obsidian horizon]

nah

there is no virus

[versed void]

our immune systems are not same

[rustic tundra]

there is a higher chance of getting scammed than getting the virus tbf

[obsidian horizon]

india isnt 100% what you see in tv

[rustic tundra]

did i go too far

i dont watch tv vro

neither do i have one

[versed void]

i mean i had indian teachers i have learnt indian and pakistani history like i dont know

[obsidian horizon]

crazy

[versed void]

not trying to mean any harm but it is what it is

[rustic tundra]

only thing with “tv” in the name is my apple tv 4k

[obsidian horizon]

they usually show poor side of india in tv

or rich

[rustic tundra]

youtube shows the scam side of india

[obsidian horizon]

mid is preety good

tho i avoid eating food from streets

[versed void]

lets say i go to delhi i would fucking die there

[obsidian horizon]

thats usually bengali

[rustic tundra]

oh i wouldnt eat indian street foot

because food has foot

[versed void]

but you are gonna eat something evantionally if you go there

[obsidian horizon]

from resturants

[rustic tundra]

these mfers touch food with the dirty hands and feet im crine

[obsidian horizon]

they offer indian food but hygenic

[versed void]

isnt it expensive

[obsidian horizon]

yeah idk i avoid that

[obsidian horizon]

yes but well cant do shit lmao

[versed void]

did you see the viddeo mofo eats on the ground and rats comes and drinks his soup and then he tooks from them and starts drinking :d

[rustic tundra]

expensive? for a tourist? ts is basically spare change for a tourist fucking pocket money pavement change😭 💔

[obsidian horizon]

those are intentionally made liek that

[versed void]

i dont know indians can afford better phones then turkish people so i would say it would still be expensive :d

[rustic tundra]

spare change is a strong word

[obsidian horizon]

nah in resturants food costs same as it would in us or europe

[rustic tundra]

would need to verify

[obsidian horizon]

how

[rustic tundra]

by verifying

[obsidian horizon]

i mean could be a bit cheaped but not that much

cheaper*

[rustic tundra]

id die from spiciness

we whites arent used to spicy food

though i myself prepare myself for spicy food

[obsidian horizon]

not that spicy

[rustic tundra]

for an indian

for a whitey even a little bit is lethal

[versed void]

i would fucking die in india from food

i have gastritis

[obsidian horizon]

since people that go to resturants are usually not from india so they just dont put as much spice

[rustic tundra]

id just tell them to not limit themselves because im white

[obsidian horizon]

they they give you options

[rustic tundra]

i want the authentic taste

[obsidian horizon]

alright

[versed void]

if you are gonna eat indian food actually eat indian food yeah

[rustic tundra]

thats it

even if i die from coughing

[obsidian horizon]

😈💦

[versed void]

and toilet also would be a problem

[obsidian horizon]

i had to tell my mom to reduce the amount of salt and chilli

[versed void]

i wouldnt go to a toilet in unless its inside where i live

[rustic tundra]

toileting from spicy food isnt my thing

[obsidian horizon]

its not that bad bro 😭✌️

[versed void]

i mean i have gastritis i start throwing up after spicy food

[obsidian horizon]

makes sense

[rustic tundra]

since its india id just shit into the local river

[versed void]

ashglaksghajlgsh

[obsidian horizon]

i cant eat food thafs too spicy but i cant eat one that has no spice at all

its like eating grass

[versed void]

wait i think i have seen a video where they burn a body then dump it into river then locals swims in the same river

[versed void]

same no spice would be death sentence

[rustic tundra]

at the end of that river there are kids washing

and my diarrhea

[versed void]

[rustic tundra]

because what is hygiene in india💔

[obsidian horizon]

its blessing for them

[versed void]

its actually

probably getting their immune system better

[rustic tundra]

“fresh fecality the best”

all those particles

[versed void]

i think india had like poop frying food

but from a animal

[rustic tundra]

wouldnt be surprised if there is at least a few kids playing with a dried up dookie in india

🧍

[versed void]

[rustic tundra]

love how this went from food to the opposite

[versed void]

how this went from phone to shits

[rustic tundra]

honest india conversation

the second thing that comes to mind is shit

[versed void]

you said you were gonna shit in the river

[rustic tundra]

absolutely

[versed void]

😭

[rustic tundra]

it went from phone to shitting in the river

[versed void]

iphone 15 is like 1200 dollars should i actually not get it

i can probably pay payments for it

[rustic tundra]

just go with a nokia

[versed void]

on god nokia 3310 would be more better

[rustic tundra]

that message sent a minute after

[versed void]

at least it doesnt have these weird ass android problems

[rustic tundra]

the fact a base iphone costs that much is insane

here we go it delayed again

[versed void]

and 2 gens behind

[versed void]

with the no amount of upgrades in 17 pro max is 2750 dollars

[rustic tundra]

thats twice the msrp

[versed void]

😭

[rustic tundra]

1200 is msrp of a regular pro

[versed void]

no pro max i said

[rustic tundra]

and im saying the msrp for a regular pro is around 1200

[versed void]

oh damn

wait i pay 1200 for 15 base

i could actually go to another country get iphone and have as much fun as possible then come back to turkey with paying less then what it would cost to get it in turkey

only problem is our sim cards locked to turkish imeis when you get outsider phones you cant even use your sim card

or bank apps

[obsidian horizon]

lol

[rustic tundra]

bro i paid like 1300 euro for my 15 pro back in 2023

[versed void]

😭

[rustic tundra]

thats basically msrp

with little bit of european tax

[versed void]

still i want to do this but if i do this i will still not be able to use busses

currently if i want to put money into my bus card i gotta go to metro its like 5 kms far away then put money then come back to bus and go there

Its one of the reasons i want to change my phone

[rustic tundra]

go regular 15 then

[versed void]

i think imma do that i will pay 115 dollars per 12 months

oh damn fee gets even higher at 12 months thats crazy

its more then 115 :)(

[frozen wraith]

Yo no one seems to be able to figure out my problem and neither can Gemini.

All I can really seem to tell is that team red seems to be too unstable for me to trust in.

With rapidly rising component costs though it seems hard to be able to buy new parts.

[zealous cedar]

Team blue will end up nuking itself long term though I’ve not kept up on the issue.
My last upgrade was am5 7000 series
What’s the problem? Stock config won’t hold to the test after 3 mins? I’d get non bluescreen crashes when in I was undervolt too much

[dreamy quest]

Say hi! Send a message

[frozen wraith]

Gemini told me what voltage to set SOC to but that didn't help. Which voltage did you mean?

[frozen wraith]

Also it's not team blue it's more like team blue+green aka cyan.

[winged spire]

What storage

[rustic tundra]

256 stacks

[frozen wraith]

Anyone else know what voltages I need to set? Or any other advice?

[winged spire]

Why doesn’t Europe have the crazy carrier deals like in America

[rustic tundra]

i didnt buy via carrier

i bought straight from apple

[winged spire]

I traded in my cracked up 13 pro max and they gave me a 17 pro max for free

[tidal remnant]

hi dose anyone wanna talk about coding

[winged spire]

Not locked either

[rustic tundra]

who knows maybe we do

[versed void]

cap

[obsidian horizon]

wtf is this deal bro

[winged spire]

Every carrier in the us does this Every single year

[versed void]

thats free 4 gen upgrade

[winged spire]

Yep

[obsidian horizon]

"give me your old honda civic and get new lambo" type deal

[winged spire]

The deal went down to the base model 12 as well

All the way to a 17 pro for free

[versed void]

its like give me your civic and i'll give you nsx

[winged spire]

Oh I lied, I paid 100$ to upgrade from pro to pro max

[obsidian horizon]

idk

[winged spire]

Otherwise the 17 pro would have been free

[zealous cedar]

What’s your goal? Overclock, underclock? Stock stable?
Typically you would start from stock then go into each core and starting taking the curve optimizer down testing each time

[winged spire]

Too smol

[frozen wraith]

Stable no overclocking, extreme OCCT CPU test crashes about 3 min.

[rustic tundra]

give me your old renault 5 and get a koenigsegg jesko absolut for a 6 pack of beer

[zealous cedar]

Odd issue at stock but 3 mins could be the time it takes to heat soak
Here is what I would start with Try positive Curve Optimizer to stabilize:
All cores: +3 to +5
It might give a bit more juice as long as your temps are good but might be more stable

[tidal remnant]

do you guys like to like browse github for cool things to download

[versed void]

no

[rustic tundra]

sorry we are windows users

we dont do that here except for quirky people

[tidal remnant]

i was just wondering like how do i use github like how do i start browsing on ther

[rustic tundra]

you dont

[frozen wraith]

Ok gonna test in a sec, but if you want to tell me both 5900X I bought 5 years apart were defective then I'm not gonna bother with team red anymore.

[zealous cedar]

Not all of us, Mac is life

[obsidian horizon]

👌

[versed void]

worst kind

[rustic tundra]

only mac i respect is mac and cheese

[obsidian horizon]

mac aroni

[rustic tundra]

mac users genuinely pmo

[zealous cedar]

Definitely understand that. I loved my 5900x when I had it. It was a bit picky though. I had to use an aftermarket cooler that was pretty good

[alpine gale]

You use the built-in search feature? If you mean how do you find cool repositories... that's a lot less of what GitHub itself is for. Most repositories I have favorited were found through independent blogs and project websites.

[zealous cedar]

Mac is for everything that’s not gaming. Gaming is for windows until steamOS is for desktop releases.
sorry it had to be said

Just don’t like windows very much

[versed void]

only good thing about mac is probably the audio thing

but that shit is nice

[zealous cedar]

For sure, I thoroughly enjoy the crab rave

[rustic tundra]

and macos has great hdr implementation

[versed void]

when you use sound board in windows its so shitty

[obsidian horizon]

all good until linux fanboy walks in

[versed void]

sound board is the thing where you plug your mic and guitar

[rustic tundra]

im innocent i used 2 distros in my life😦

[tidal remnant]

whats a repositorie or whats ur favorite cool ones

[obsidian horizon]

🐧

[rustic tundra]

im immune to linux user attacks

[alpine gale]

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/about-repositories

[obsidian horizon]

its github not pinterest

[rustic tundra]

unless its a fatass using arch then im crushed by the gravity bro generates

[tidal remnant]

i thought i could browse it like to find cool coding stuff

[obsidian horizon]

thats on you

[rustic tundra]

all arch users are obese

[obsidian horizon]

arch

[tidal remnant]

someone make a github pinterest fusion app website that you can brows

[rustic tundra]

an arch they cant fit in

[alpine gale]

No need. You can already browse Github.

[rustic tundra]

i only used mint and zorin os

zorin os is genuinely fun

lacks things

[obsidian horizon]

try mint

[rustic tundra]

as an average distro

[obsidian horizon]

idk

[rustic tundra]

mint was barebones but fine

[zealous cedar]

Where do two arch users go to lunch?
Mcds 😃

[rustic tundra]

zorin os has a modern ui

[rustic tundra]

[zealous cedar]

Sorry had to

[rustic tundra]

+5 made it worse, it lasted 30 seconds

[zealous cedar]

Darn have you already went the other way? -5?

[frozen wraith]

I'll try that next.

[zealous cedar]

Crossing my fingers
Hopefully the small decrease over the whole range helps a bit if tad more did not help

[frozen wraith]

We've passed 3 min so far

[zealous cedar]

Let’s gooo!!!!

[frozen wraith]

Will check back at the recommended 20 minutes.

[analog gazelle]

yo why is pc prices so high

when will it drop i might just wait till black friday

[frozen wraith]

apparently because of the costs of maintaining AI

[analog gazelle]

so that means its only going to increase

[frozen wraith]

for all we know overall prices could double before we reach black friday

[analog gazelle]

ur serious?

[frozen wraith]

well I don't know anything for sure but I don't think anyone can predict it

but what I do know is that Nvidia's stock trend is always on a long term positive growth but the short term is very unstable.

[elfin jetty]

https://www.pcgamer.com/software/platforms/oh-good-discords-age-verification-rollout-has-ties-to-palantir-co-founder-and-panopticon-architect-peter-thiel/

Oh boy.

[vital basalt]

I will not stop using discord

[frozen wraith]

Thing is that I do want government based age verification, it can be very useful. However the concerns around security and accuracy will exist.

[elfin jetty]

Discord literally had a massive data breach not even a few months ago

[vital basalt]

They can take my id atp idc I'm not loosing my friends or chats

[frozen wraith]

Yes but they promised to switch vendors. Nothing is for certain though.

[elfin jetty]

If you live in America, I would. Id research palantir if I were you.

[vital basalt]

Im Canadian

I dont think its here

[elfin jetty]

I refuse to give them any id at all. They will get a faked face scan at best.

[frozen wraith]

Ok well what's the point of a faked face scan?

[elfin jetty]

To... not have my id or face anywhere near their databases?

[vital basalt]

Genuine question

Why does it matter if they have it or not?

Like, what are they gonna do with it

[elfin jetty]

A lot. If you've paid attention to what the US is doing, and you happen to live there like I do. Its a real security concern.

[frozen wraith]

We don't have the answer to that.

[elfin jetty]

We do. We know exactly why they want their grubby little hands all over your data.

[vital basalt]

I dont live in the us so why would I pay attention to it

[frozen wraith]

You mean for advertising purposes? That's been all too common since the internet became popular.

[elfin jetty]

Its a lot more nefarious than that if you've actually been looking into it. If you live outside the US, you dont have much to worry about except maybe your own government

Discord is an absolute treasure trove of personal information

[vital basalt]

Well.. what is there to be concerned about

[frozen wraith]

Well I feel international governments haven't regulated the internet enough so they allowed too many malicious actors to roam. That's not at all saying I support ISPs to have any control over this regulation.

[elfin jetty]

You dont pay attention to us politics. But ICE has been knocking down peoples doors for pretty much no damn reason, surveillance has been creeping evermore into every little thing you do, and discord pulling this shit only makes all of that far more accessible because they will turn over any info they have on someone if the government wants it.

And with the way the US is going, these fuckers in charge want nothing more than to strip the rights away from the people who live here.

[vital basalt]

Ice will not break down your door if you age verify on discord 😭

[elfin jetty]

Completely missed the point there.

[frozen wraith]

I have nothing to hide and if everyone is following the law then they should have nothing to hide. If you don't agree with the law then we have to change it.

[vital basalt]

I asked why your scared to give it to discord

[trail heron]

wow

[elfin jetty]

Ok. Sure. What if they for whatever decide one day that being who you want to be is a crime? Like idk, being Trans, or gay, or anything like that (which the people in charge have been targeting since day one)

What happens when they get their way?

And suddenly all that information about you is theirs for the taking whether you want them to have it or not

[frozen wraith]

Yeah we're lucky we only have 2 more years of this administration. Anyway the worst they've been able to do lately is remove the right for trans people to serve in the army.

[elfin jetty]

So far. You arent seeing the bigger picture. They've been chipping their way into this for over 50 years

You're right, we will see. But im not taking the chance of being on the wrong end of that

[frozen wraith]

We'll see about that. I'm looking forward to seeing fresh faces in 2 years.

[vital basalt]

Your the type of person to have tape on your Webcam ngl

[elfin jetty]

I dont have a webcam.

[frozen wraith]

me neither

[zealous cedar]

I have a 3d printed cover over mine
Need it for work

[elfin jetty]

Also. There's good reason for doing that too. People think that shit will never happen to them until it potentially does

[vital basalt]

😭

The government is not looking at your camera I promise you

[frozen wraith]

@elfin jetty The only old guy I've wanted to see running this country is Sanders, he understands that we have to pay too much to build ourselves up in this country.

[elfin jetty]

Unfortunately we never got him because democrats are cowards. But thats an entirely different topic.

[frozen wraith]

It's unfortunate that he'll be too old by the time he gains enough favor in his party.

[zealous cedar]

No one is! That’s the whole point of the cover

[elfin jetty]

Doesn't even have to be the government. There are millions of articles online where someone gets hacked for as simple of a reason as their pc was unsecured or they unknowingly downloaded malware.

[vital basalt]

Then dont download sketchy things

[elfin jetty]

You dont even have to. Doesn't stop people who know what their doing.

Ignorance will not keep you safe just because you don't believe in it.

[zealous cedar]

It’s not even sketchy things
Do you know if the latest notepad ++ issue? I wouldn’t consider that sketchy
Supply chain attacks are in the rise
Just never hurts to keep your eyes open and secure what you can

[vital basalt]

Dog idc just don't be dumb online your gonna be fine

[frozen wraith]

Seems to be going well so far on my PC. Gonna do an engine test before I determine the result but overall I hope I didn't just run into ANOTHER temporary solution/fluke.

[elfin jetty]

Mm. Thats not how that works but you do you. Ignorance really is bliss and I hope you get to keep it.

[vital basalt]

[frozen wraith]

If this works you're gonna be in the credits of my first game.

[vital basalt]

Have fun living life paranoid af then

[elfin jetty]

Not paranoid. Aware. Being capable of paying attention to things for more than a 30 second TikTok video.

[frozen wraith]

All short videos are good for are for cat videos.

[elfin jetty]

Naww not even. If I wanna see cat videos I want at least 10 minutes of cuteness lol

[frozen wraith]

This is my solution for crashing PC with no BSOD. Why has no one here or on public forums recommended this to me thus far?

[zealous cedar]

I wish I had a good answer for that. I’m glad if it’s working though!

[frozen wraith]

Considering I may not have the budget for another build for the forseeable future, you're a lifesaver.

[mint sandal]

Damn looks like google deepmind is gearing up for system 3

[vital basalt]

Darn

Should be shutdown

[mint sandal]

Unlike standard LLMs that reset after a chat ends, this system actively retains and updates information could be on way to agi lol

[vital basalt]

Again, should be shutdown

Ai chat bots and video generators provide zero use to humanity

Actively destroying the PC economy

[mint sandal]

Yeah its not a data center its run on cloud

Infrastructure is already there

[vital basalt]

My point still stands

What use do Ai video generators provide

[mint sandal]

No it doesnt this is solving complex math

Meaning erdos problems

[vital basalt]

Don't need Ai for that

[mint sandal]

Do you have screws loose

[vital basalt]

Do you

[mint sandal]

No but anyone with a brain can see ai can do complex math a human cant comprehend

[vital basalt]

You dont need ai to do it

Just formulas

A calculator doesn't use Ai

It uses formulas

[stark idol]

https://the-decoder.com/deepminds-research-ai-occasionally-solves-what-humans-cant-and-mostly-gets-everything-else-wrong/

when its useful its good
when its not useful its bad

6.5% of 700 problems
but the 6.5% is incredibly valuable

https://www.livescience.com/physics-mathematics/mathematics/ai-is-solving-impossible-math-problems-can-it-best-the-worlds-top-mathematicians

[vital basalt]

Fair

[stark idol]

simple things like standard calculus, diff eq, multi integration
can be done by humans easily
its the higher level that uses ai with low yields

[mint sandal]

I mean Googles project solved 13 erdos problems

[stark idol]

yea

[mint sandal]

Think it also wrote a complete research paper on one of tje problems solved

[stark idol]

it did

[mint sandal]

Can't wait till google gets system 3 fully operational when they get switched over to gb300's

Could branch in physics at that point

[sudden bear]

Has anyone ever tried connecting a water flow sensor to a spare fan header? it's essentially just an RPM signal that then calculates flow rate... can it work? and would it just be the 2 pins on the other side of the headder than the clip?

[sudden bear]

lol, nvm, my flow sensor is 3 pins, and the header is VERY different to a fan header. I had it from my previous build when I was using an EK look connect which I did NOT include in my current build. oh well.

wrong one

[chrome vector]

Real talk, do any of you press your space bar with your right thumb? I absolutely never use my right thumb for my space bar. It feels completely foreign. I didn't even start using right shift until recently, and it's still hard for me to get used to.

[obsidian horizon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[graceful matrix]

Left thumb better

[chrome vector]

That's what I'm saying. I looked it up and it seems most people (maybe even the overwhelming majority) use their right thumb, which feels so wrong to me. It might because of gaming, but still. My left thumb hovers over space while my right thumb hangs off the keyboard, feel wrong to even raise my thumb high enough to reach the space bar.

[graceful matrix]

What

Why so many right thumb

[chrome vector]

*Likely just do to right hand dominance.

[idle parcel]

which one is more powerful rtx 3080 ti or 4070 super?

Basically equivalent
I'd take the 4070 super for lower power draw and marginally better feature support

I actually used my finger to press space until about 4 months ago

I’d be moving my whole hand just to space

Now I use my right thumb almost always
It was tough learning to type again

[chrome vector]

Yeah I retaught myself homerow the past year or so. I moved my hands around the keyboard too much rather than making proper use of every finger. It took awhile, but I'm really glad I did it, much more efficient than dancing around the keyboard. Now I'm faster than I was, and I already typed pretty fast. Glad that you retaught yourself because that's REALLY inefficient.

Just did this, it's all lower-case no punctuation over only 15s. I'm actually closer to 75-85wpm in real world typing during tests like this. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower. That's the fucky thing about typing speed, it's so variable.

[undone mountain]

Is my future self trying to send me a message or something sept 20 2081 thats odd

[arctic flax]

It's definatley your future self telling you something

[undone mountain]

Probs or something is wrong with my Microsoft account for that to happen

[glad lichen]

time travel is real

[strange elk]

Lol BF6 is already 35% off

[glad lichen]

I have 18 ps5 games in my baacklog, just sealed copies next to me, will be some time until i get back to bf6 right now lol.

and then me playing forza causing my backlog not be less

[blazing tulip]

hello LTTgang

[glad lichen]

who's part of the TTy-gang

(another unix thing)

[blazing tulip]

we'll find out after this message.. to our sponsor!

[gentle slate]

Well. My galaxy buds decided to die.

And I can't use affordable wired earbuds cause phones thought audio jacks are redundant.

[fossil frost]

usb-c to 3.5mm in cable DACs are a thing

[gentle slate]

Yeah if I fucking find one of those in the local stores.

[fossil frost]

next-day one from amazon for about £6

[gentle slate]

Next day Amazon doesn't exist here.

[fossil frost]

then be patient, and wait for it to turn up... or.... sit and complain about having nothing even though you have been offered a solution

[gentle slate]

Actually Amazon barely exists here. Shipments from Germany.

[fossil frost]

ok.. amazon/ebay/whatever exists where you live to fill that gap...

[blazing tulip]

do you have to use earbuds?

[gentle slate]

What else is there to use?

There's no jack.

[fossil frost]

there is a jack, if you choose to buy the adapter

[blazing tulip]

overear wireless headphones tend to be cheap, as i dont know where you are i cant tell you the price

[gentle slate]

Why do I need an adapter to use something that's been a standard for ages

The whole thing is fucking dumb

[blazing tulip]

over here you can get wireless overears for about 21 euro

[gentle slate]

Try 30-40 for a pair of shit wireless here.

[blazing tulip]

i am in america so its probably cheaper there

[fossil frost]

you have 3 choices with the device you have.. 1. bluetooth of any description... 2... buy an adapter and deal with it. 3.. complain on discord and then do #1 or #2 anyway

[harsh quartz]

or just dont use earbuds for a little bit?

[gentle slate]

Phones singlehandedly turning themselves into actual pieces of garbage.

[blazing tulip]

i have $25 offbrand wireless that actually sound decent after my $50 sony's had an issue

[harsh quartz]

dumbest statement ive seen in a long time

[blazing tulip]

this came from a HEADPHONE JACK not existing btw

[fossil frost]

no.. not at all.. they are doing what people are asking... very very few people use wired headphones on their phone, you wanting to do that, are a minority, and when that functionality was removed, it was added back in the form of an adapter.. you saying that is the same as saying "its fucking stupid that i need a scart to hdmi adapter to use VHS now"... times change.. tech moves on.. if you want to use something that your device doesnt support.. get an adapter, or stop crying

[blazing tulip]

as someone who only had access to wired headphones at one point ADAPTERS. I'm a music producer and i still have to buy adapters because my mixing headphones have a 3.5mm jack while my audio interface/piano has a 1/4" output jack

anyways hi guys

[blazing tulip]

cuz people stopped using wired headphones on phones???

[fossil frost]

that. and. people keep asking for the phones to be "less chunky".. and if you want the phone to be slimmer, pulling that 3.5mm jack makes it much easier

[blazing tulip]

yeah, its better than 1/4" at least

[gentle slate]

Ok.

[fossil frost]

makes them easier to get a water proof rating too. while you can get waterproof 3.5mm jacks. they cost loads more per jack than the standard ones

[gentle slate]

whatever ig. Cant tell if wireless was actually more used or shoved onto people cause the jack went poof.

The s23 felt like a downgrade from my old S9 in most ways tho.

[blazing tulip]

its gonna feel bad its an android

yes i have apple bias for phones

ok but real talk why did we start using earbuds 😭

overears are overall just better

they like actually fit on ears

[fossil frost]

on the whole, people in general didnt want a wire going into the pocket, a wire that gets tangled, loads... people want convenience.. the convenience of not having wires

[gentle slate]

the convenience of not having wires was really prevented by the existence of the headphone jack

We must thank apple for removing the headphone jack and paving the way for a true wireless future.

[fossil frost]

ok, so you are just here to complain and moan about things... good to know... blocked

cant be bothered listening to crybabies

[winged spire]

Also they get damaged ALL THE FUCKIN TIME

[gentle slate]

tbf so do wireless earbuds, the galaxy buds I got stopped working 1-1.5 years in

[winged spire]

the amount of idiots that plug their headphones in then put the phone in their back pocket is crazy

[winged spire]

Samsung makes bad products more at 11

[gentle slate]

who makes good products

[winged spire]

Most companies

[gentle slate]

iirc oneplus shot itself in the foot, huawei is doing huawei things

xiaomi??

[winged spire]

I don’t use Chinese spyware 🤷

[blazing tulip]

sony wh-ch520 is a good pair of wireless headphones that i've bought twice after they've broken

[gentle slate]

thats like 50% of android

the fuck do you use

[versed void]

which one would you all choose iphone 16 or s25 edge

[gentle slate]

both suck

[versed void]

i know

but which one of them all

[fossil frost]

depends what you use now, and what ecosystem you want to be in

[winged spire]

I Don’t use android and I don’t use Chinese spyware

[blazing tulip]

iphone 16

[versed void]

a phone from 2012

[blazing tulip]

oh hi gingerolive

[gentle slate]

so.. Iphone?

[true oak]

the s25 edge is too big and the iphone 16 is 60hz

[gentle slate]

pay more for less

[true oak]

so i cant decide

[winged spire]

Have fun with your broken year old devices

[gentle slate]

Did apple actually allow sideloading in the EU now

[blazing tulip]

i have a 16e and have had no issues that arent my own fault

[true oak]

clown reacted for having small hands <3

[stray yarrow]

can someone help w fps spikes my pc isnt wven badbur its unplayable

[hot tartan]

man just use a phone that you think you will like

[blazing tulip]

my only issue with my 16e is the only cases that fit are apples shit cases

[true oak]

doesnt the 16e use the exact same display as the iphone 14

but ip14 cases dont fit

[winged spire]

Yeah nobody makes 3rd party cases for phones, super super uncommon!

[blazing tulip]

ok what i meant was the 16e has one sensor and the case i have for it has a square camera hole that slightly covers the flashlight

[paper kernel]

16 pro

[versed void]

so expensive

[paper kernel]

Ik

Im poor too

[hot tartan]

how much more is the iPhone 17 for you

[winged spire]

I feel like bro has been trying to pick for like 2 days straight

[true oak]

used 15 pros are like $600

i have one its good

[versed void]

too much

[winged spire]

Wasn’t I talking about this like 15 hours ago 😭 just pick one lol

[paper kernel]

Ye just buy used

[winged spire]

Bro is so indecisive

[blazing tulip]

which is so awesome because i have my action button mapped to turn my flashlight on

[versed void]

probably been like a week or more

[winged spire]

Bruh

[versed void]

i dont want to regret

[true oak]

i still have mine as a silent switch

[winged spire]

Sounds like you’re going to regret it either way

[blazing tulip]

i leave my phone on silent so idrc

[paper kernel]

Guys If I have around 100$ and my current cpu is i5 7500 motherboard is b250 what shouldnibget

[gentle slate]

theres nothing to regret phones have basically moulded into the same thing

[versed void]

😭

[strange elk]

Took me a long time to decide on my next phones both times I shopped for one

[gentle slate]

Get an iphone if you want the apple brand plus a decent phone. Get an android if you want more flexibility. Same shit

[strange elk]

What kind of android

[hot tartan]

I use my action button to shuffle my music playlist

[gentle slate]

theyre all the same

[versed void]

anything will be upgrade for me like i said my current one is from 2012 but i still want to try something good for once

[blazing tulip]

[versed void]

this one was also bad when its came out :d

[true oak]

embed fail...

[gentle slate]

Apple will do something, Samsung will repeat it on the next gen, every other phone will copy samsung

[blazing tulip]

i use shuffle on all my playlists + i have spotify

[hot tartan]

I would personally go for 16, but i have used iPhones for a while. I would really try going for a 17, try and save up for it as the base models have th 120Hz screen

[true oak]

i hate companies that copy liquid glass because liquid glass sucks

[versed void]

base models have 60 no?

[strange elk]

Consider form factor, IO, performance, durability, software compatibility, user interface

[true oak]

they all did except the ip17

[hot tartan]

rip, using the action button to automatically shuffle and play my apple music playlist is awesome

[versed void]

explains why that one is so expensive then

[hot tartan]

iPhone 17 base models started getting 120Hz

[versed void]

is everyone of them have oled

[blazing tulip]

i think so

[hot tartan]

yes

[gentle slate]

eh. Only ones that really matter are the performance and software

the rest might as well be the same

[blazing tulip]

mine has a 60hz display but idrc

i just want a good phone with a decent price and the 16e does that for me

[gentle slate]

thin brick with a charging port, 3 buttons, insert fragile back material

[blazing tulip]

have you heard of a phone case 🤯🤯🤯

[versed void]

i really want to get oled thats big big upgrade

[winged spire]

Still waiting for them to remove the port

[gentle slate]

yes.

[true oak]

60hz is perfectly fine but i dont think apple should be selling 60hz displays at all

[winged spire]

Hopefully soon 🙏

[gentle slate]

samsung prolly wont do that.

[strange elk]

Performance may as well be the same for the last 6 years if you aren't actually gaming

[gentle slate]

They removed wireless charging

[winged spire]

I don’t own Samsung products

[blazing tulip]

my 2nd monitor is 60 and my main is 170

[gentle slate]

WAIT! CHARGELESS PHONES

[strange elk]

Not everyone can run lineage or grapheneos though

[true oak]

my laptop screen is 165hz

[hot tartan]

iPhone 16 is OLED too

[true oak]

it also really makes me wish desktop monitors went back to 16:10 its so nice

[blazing tulip]

what my phone opened apple pay when i was air guitaring

[gentle slate]

4:3 supremacy

[hot tartan]

monitors are for the weak, just use a TV

[blazing tulip]

my 2nd monitor is an old asus thats 16:10, my main is an MSI G244F

[strange elk]

Yea I play an instrument

[blazing tulip]

my history teacher uses a tv in the classroom as his monitor

[hot tartan]

I got new speakers though

[strange elk]

Muzzy moment

[versed void]

no way

[hot tartan]

it's my desk man

[blazing tulip]

yall collect vinyl here?

[versed void]

the monitor looks so weird not gonna lie

too much quality

[gentle slate]

no they removed the vinyl jack

[hot tartan]

it's a 42" TV

[strange elk]

That's called HDR

On oled

[hot tartan]

that too

[blazing tulip]

vinyl is proof that you don’t need very new tech, my speakers are 25 years old and sound great

[hot tartan]

[versed void]

i wish i had that

but that costs as much as a liver

[strange elk]

Vinyl is lower quality than raw flac no matter how you spin it

[blazing tulip]

but its better than cd

[strange elk]

Nah.

[gentle slate]

Oh spotify broke itself for some reason

[true oak]

i love cds </3

vinyl is too expensive for me

[blazing tulip]

i mean cds are great to support artists but if you want higher than streaming quality vinyl is theway to go

[gentle slate]

It no longer syncs my phone to my pc. Same account.

also holy fucking shit Warship is overzealuos. Some things never change.

[strange elk]

The fact it's analog is literally a physical limitation of the format. It's a lot easier to damage the media as well

[versed void]

imma keep coping with va screen

[blazing tulip]

that is true but its not subject to discrot

[strange elk]

And CDs are absolutely higher quality than streaming if mastered properly anyway

[gentle slate]

you can guard against discrot

[hot tartan]

Tidal, Apple Music, and others support high res lossless streaming

[gentle slate]

or bitrot or whatever.

[strange elk]

Thankfully I have the ability to rip my CDs..

And burn them if I so need

[blazing tulip]

vinyl can be ripped too

[gentle slate]

oh.. quite literal discs.

[blazing tulip]

the masters are slightly different but thats literally the only difference

[strange elk]

A lot easier to get just the raw data off a CD. You are relying on the amps and capture device to rerecord the vinyl

[blazing tulip]

ok well i just wanna support artists and use the medium that’s proven better so cry about it i guess?

[strange elk]

Lmao

[blazing tulip]

vinyl would not have made a resurgence if it wasnt better than cd

[strange elk]

You can like vinyl all you want but it has limitations. I love cassettes personally

Also nostalgia.

And trends

[blazing tulip]

i know it does but overall its better quality, cd has more space on one disc

[gentle slate]

I used to pull out and mangle all the casette tapes

[strange elk]

Its a more raw format. That I will say

[glad lichen]

like with a lot of media, limitations causes revision, refinements etc. like game ports. you can't just slap it on vinyl and think it will be good, no you need to remaster it for vinyl, ^ then it sounds good

[gentle slate]

just use flacs

[glad lichen]

that's not the point, the sound is different since when you master something for vinyl, you smoothen the curves out, such as the highs, hence it has that warmer sound

hence there's vinyl rips to digital it later

[strange elk]

But SCAD and Bluray CD exists which you can burn lossless raw masters onto. You can do the same on CDs but you are limited by the space on those. But you get flacs from either direct digital formats from a website like bandcamp or hdtracks.. Or you can rip a CD.

[blazing tulip]

also vinyl rips for vinyl exclusives

[alpine gale]

Vinyl didn't make a resurgence because its better or worse quality than CD... It's come back due to the collectability and novelty of the format.
Also, as @strange elk noted, the better format largely depends on how the tracks were mastered in the studio. Things mastered before the Loudness Wars of the 1980's usually sound "less full" (and thus let you pick out the individual nuances of instruments better) than things mastered after the 1980's because artist preferences and consumer listening habits changed.

Today it's not that CD or Vinyl or Cassette or Laserdisc are better or worse than each other. It's a personal preference.

[glad lichen]

I find Doors Riders on the Storm interesting on vinyl, they used that rain background effect to their benefit, you notice that as background noise, overriding the small noises from the vinyl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvoubAXFLsg

[gentle slate]

do people remaster flacs to sound like different mediums?

[strange elk]

I love the tactility of cassette. Hate how fragile it is

[blazing tulip]

i don’t think so but i’m a musician and i like to add noise vsts digitally to my work

[alpine gale]

People as in consumers? Sure, sometimes. People as in the studios? No, they remaster the master formats into whatever they think sounds better for the given medium and that particular production run. It's why there can be multiple versions of the same album over 50 years that all sound different despite being played on the same stereo system.

[fossil frost]

a friend of mine IS a musician, and he says everything is recorded to be as clean as possible, what you hear sat next to the instrument in a proper studio.. is what should be recorded because it gives the largest amount of freedom to make changes on the desk later.. if you bake the changes in, its much harder to change them later

[glad lichen]

nowdays that's possible, you would see the things back on 4 track

[fossil frost]

he also says that the exact same digital master file pressed onto a CD, vinyl or released on spotify CAN sound completely different, and you have to adjust for it before they get finalised

[fossil frost]

yeah, hes on about now.. hes recorded to 8 track in the past i think..

[glad lichen]

4 track demos often sound very limited, because they where limited until they got the chance to record in a big boy studio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYQW0FCfi6M

but also sounds so. retro.

[blazing tulip]

most of my stuff is recorded in a vst or recorded thru an interface

so i do a lot of effects while i work

[glad lichen]

gotta respect Reason to keep the skeumorphism alive

aside from manby VSTs

[strange elk]

Why is bluray dying

😔

[gentle slate]

they removed the cd jacks

[glad lichen]

so analog.

[fossil frost]

people are lazy and want the convenience of streaming, even though its worse in every other way

[blazing tulip]

streaming is more popular for cheaper and bluray has the lowest life

[gentle slate]

Actually does bluray play on its own dedicated units?

[glad lichen]

only partly. it's still the only format for many things.

[strange elk]

We love Netflix we love Disney we love paramount we love Hulu we love HBO we love appletv

[blazing tulip]

bluray has really bad discrot

[strange elk]

You are ignorant

[gentle slate]

get the bluray, rip it, have it eternally in perfect shape

[blazing tulip]

im just stating facts

[fossil frost]

blurays last about 25 years. longer than streaming services have existed.. about 10x longer than the typical licence lasts for a typical movie too

[strange elk]

There's archive formats if you are that worried

[blazing tulip]

not everyone can afford a nas or storage

[strange elk]

You can afford production equipment

[gentle slate]

2 mirrored 8TB HDDs aint taht bad

that can stoer a buncha bluray

[fossil frost]

streaming is winning because its more convenient to get something NOW.. thats the one and only reason

[blazing tulip]

i bought a 60 dollar used audio interface with used equipment my dad owned and the same $900 computer ive had for 3 years

[strange elk]

Worst case you can reencode the media to "streaming" quality even

[blazing tulip]

and you get more stuff for cheaper

[glad lichen]

which last longer, a blu-ray or a storage drive. https://www.amazon.se/-/en/Verbatim-M-Disc-Blu-Ray-Speed-Jewel/dp/B0BTPRVPLQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2826H4PAQGD6M&sprefix=m-dis%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-3

[fossil frost]

not really no.. for people who watch 1-2 movies a month, streaming is more expensive

[glad lichen]

tho i think tape drives would last longest, but it's insane to use

[blazing tulip]

i was raised in a home where we are financially fine but are cheaper on everything

[strange elk]

You also lose it if the rights are lost and or if it gets banned and or if you stop paying.

[blazing tulip]

$12 a month is cheaper than buying blu rays for every movie you want to watch if you watch 2 movies a month

[gentle slate]

a NAS with an offsite backup is de wae

[strange elk]

Also not a fan of fragmentation of media services

Its literally TV again. Just everything is on demand

[fossil frost]

netflix + amazon + disney is more than $12 a month for you to watch "anything". and a typical bluray DOES cost about $15... and.. thats to keep, not rent

[glad lichen]

doesn't even include all the sport channels

late 90s/early 00s was interesting tho... buy a package withy 30 channels, or use sattelite to get 300 channels

[vapid smelt]

$32 a year is cheaper to illegally pirate other people's blue ray rips

[strange elk]

What anime service was it that was taken down and everyone's media got lost that they paid for..?

[blazing tulip]

why do i even talk to tech enthusiasts
they just argue about their opinion and complain when someone’s opinion is different
bye!

[fossil frost]

"ohh no.. somebody has a difference of opinion.. i cant handle it.. im going to cry in the corner"

[strange elk]

Open your mind

[glad lichen]

tho, I waited years for that Mandalorian to come to Blu-ray

refused to watch it on disney

because I knew it was compressed to hell, while being recorded and all in so high quality

[fossil frost]

the ONLY reason i have disney+ is because i get it for free with my bank account 😄

[gentle slate]

legal or illegal? The only one I know of is Crunchyroll which still seems to be going?

[strange elk]

I used to swear on SSDs. Now I use HDDs because cheap mass storage. And it's not as unreliable as I made it out to be

[strange elk]

Legal.

[gentle slate]

oh wait you mentioned paid. Duh

[fossil frost]

HDDs arent even that cheap now that they are becoming rarer

[strange elk]

There are "grey" sites tbf

But I don't count those

[glad lichen]

like vimms lair?

[gentle slate]

why would you pay for a "grey" site

if youre gonna cross the law might as well go all the way

[strange elk]

Same reason you'd use a grey market key site

Cheaper, and in this case actually better availability

[vapid smelt]

With your bank?! Normally I only see it with ISP and phone plans

[gentle slate]

thats arguably worse than piracy, they fucking benefit out of their shady business

[strange elk]

/shrug Gotta pay for servers somehow

[gentle slate]

that said.. I wonder if crunchyroll resolved the regional availability.

IIRC they lacked shit here back in 2020

[fossil frost]

i have a paid-for bank account, that if i pay in more than £2000/mo into the account, even if it immediately goes back out, the fee is waived.. and my bills are more than £2000... so its always been a "free" account.. and they do promos every so often.. .ive had free cinema tickets, free prime for a year, and now free disney+ from it

[strange elk]

..huh

Wonder what the incentive structire for that is about

[gentle slate]

Get you hooked on something then make you pay for it

[fossil frost]

they expect that most people dont pay all their bills from the 1 account i assume

i made a point that my salary gets paid into 1 account, and then £2300 of my salary instantly gets moved to that other account. and then all my bills come out of that £2300

[strange elk]

Huh

[fossil frost]

unlike in the USA, i can get any bank account from any bank that exists within the UK, the competition is VERY high... so there are always incentives to use particular banks

most banks will pay you £250 to switch to them and stay for 6 months

some pay up to £500

[strange elk]

Gotta say I might be a little jealous of that. Aside from the fragmentation of personal information

[vapid smelt]

I was able to get free air pods pro in a raffle at my bank last year

[echo sluice]

lmao here its 25€

[vapid smelt]

The main prize was Disney land tickets

[strange elk]

Lmao what

Yea guys I won tickets to disney land from my bank

[vapid smelt]

And Disney land isn't even in the same state as us

I'm in Utah so we have to cross Nevada into cali

[fossil frost]

so a double win.. you get to go to disney, and dont have to be in utah 😛

[strange elk]

It would've been way funnier if you were british

[fossil frost]

tbh, the closest disney to me is probably closer than the closest disney to coopa

[vapid smelt]

Idk I prefer Utah over Cali just for the traffic

[fossil frost]

disney paris is about 500 miles from me.. i could drive there in 10 hours or fly in 2-3 (depending on airport bullshit)

[strange elk]

Disneyland cool I guess. Cali, cool sure. People? Nah.

[vapid smelt]

1,101km or 684 miles for me

[strange elk]

~1600 miles to closest for me

[pallid falcon]

[austere slate]

long story we have a big dispute about utilities that should be inclluded but they now say they arent because I have an extra roommate. so they have a sudden inspection and are trying to find issues

my roommate does have a weird power bar into a power bar which I think maybe be something they could latch on

[gilded quest]

If it's messy cables it shouldn't be an issue

If it's spliced ac power cords everywhere you might have an issue

[gilded quest]

Daisy chaining is frowned upon but does it violate the lesser agreement?

Lease*

[strange elk]

Sounds like they are taking a lot of power

[gentle slate]

My isp swindled my port rights.

I'm mildly irritated.

[strange elk]

That situation could be concerning for a handful of reasons

[alpine gale]

Refer to your rental agreement. If the agreement says utilities are included, the landlord can get lost. Otherwise... It might be time to move.

[alpine gale]

Unless it's a safety issue, no, they cannot just "latch on" to this. At least, not in countries where laws exist. They would have to prove that you're using an unreasonable amount of kilowatt hours before they can claim you're causing the power bill to go sky high.

[gilded quest]

Is the extra resident officially on the lease?

[summer folio]

is it just me, or is LTT X account not that active, really

hahs she saw my thermometer/hygrometer ont he wall and was asking "WHAT's THAt? why you have that?

it says 28 it's so hot here?

lady that's the humidity

anyway, it just found it funny, given all our thing and LTT's about cable management that she had a conniption about that, but for different reasons 😄

mine is plretty clean though, Ill post in battlestations

[gilded quest]

She sounds a bit off the rocker, but depending on your lease, having an additional occupant may be a violation

Again, very much depends on the lease

[austere slate]

oh i know

I'm the sole leasholder in a 3 bed house, I have two roommates/occupants. everything is solid, legal

[vapid smelt]

Who tf keeps a house at 28c

[austere slate]

haha no idea

it was the humidity level, but she obviously missed the big 23C right under it, then I had to explain that my PC heats up the room

at these times is when I realilze that people like us are very very far from the mainstream

[strange elk]

I see

[austere slate]

anyway sorry, wasnt trying to kvetch or unload, was litereally just a joke about the cable management

You need a role go to #welcome to get one

[austere slate]

oh that would do it, thanks for the tip

[vapid smelt]

Checking it out before it gets covered in the ocean?

[winged spire]

Figuring out where to cut so it sinks faster

[austere slate]

ok cool, that even made me join the forum! as an old geezer I do like forums much better, harkens back to a more gentle time on the interwebs!

[cosmic shale]

Which game are they playing at the linked timestamp? https://youtu.be/3EEodAmziDM?t=1497

[vapid smelt]

expedition 33?

[glad lichen]

they paid 90k and didn't even get the proper level processing for it. hilarious

tho the world of microLED is interesting, you can always upgrade EVERYTHING

next up, MadVR 😄

[vapid smelt]

The character looks the same so expedition 33 is my final answer

[next plover]

couldnt they just put this into the video splicer and get 4k 120?

[glad lichen]

that's for a MX series processor

they showed int he video a H-series with the splicer web interface

[next plover]

https://shop.squarevled.com/products/novastar-h-series-1x-hdmi-2-1-1x-dp-1-4-8k-input-card

:3

[glad lichen]

yes, that's the different card

[next plover]

is that how something like that would work or would there be limits on speed based on the panel

[glad lichen]

so the H-series runs on the classic novastar system, which is made to make huge pixel quantrity. while the COEX is more expensive per pixel but you get better processing.

[glad lichen]

panel it self may be limited due to severla factors. like panel may only do 8-bit while the processing can accept 10-bit HDR. really depends

in the past we used to combine 2x DP or 2xHDMI to get proper 4K60 with 4:4:4, because a single HDMI2.0b wouldn't do it. as a example

[next plover]

ahh

its really cool tech I will never get my hands on, well not for maybe another 10+ years when they get cheap lol

[glad lichen]

I've been lucky working in the display industry for LED and MicroLED since 2012.. But it's a fun industry for sure.

travel a lot tho

[next plover]

Thats so cool :3

[glad lichen]

but 99.9% for us is just B2B/AV-partners

price consumers, that's the most rare thing

we do a lot of where we make, manufacturer and sell the solutions, we do R&D and propduct development because many companies often try to import and stuff from china but never up to their quality. But I was in china at our partner manufacturer to do quality inspection, and it's nice that MicroLED gotten to OLED blacks now, yet bright. It's premium one compared to regular COB, but it's so nice.

[next plover]

WOW

[glad lichen]

so we tend to be some years a head of the mainstream competition, but we also are never the cheapest in the industry.

[next plover]

I mean if I was some billionaire I would want that quality

no matter the cost

[glad lichen]

we did sell one of those screens to a millionare earlier this month... 144Hz, 4K, HDR10, 146", Zero-latency (<1ms) etc.

when we said to him that going from 120Hz to 144Hz would be another 20k due to processing bandwidth, he was like.. "potato , potato, not a biggie"

[next plover]

I mean at that point, might as well

How much does a panel like that cost?

[glad lichen]

I'm lucky to not be in sales department other than I develop tools for them, but I know that 146" we sold for 75k eur i think or something.

but most clients buy screens indoor that's between 25-80k eur

that's what I've "been hearing" at least from meetings

[left summit]

I need to set it up as an arcade machine so I need to install a front loader for ROMs

[next plover]

yknow? I dont think thats really that bad lmao, I would rather get that big of a TV over a big RAM pickup truck haha

[glad lichen]

sell ram to afford a tv. what a time :p

[next plover]

I mean modern trucks are stupid anyways

if you're in US, the Tundra TRX? TRD? is second option i think

[modern pier]

i was using an old iphone 8 (my actual previous phone refuses to work) when i got my phone battery replaced and out of habit i kept swiping up instead of pressing the button and even after a few hours I couldn’t stop myself and kept doing it

[next plover]

its still like gigantic compared to trucks of the early 2000's

[glad lichen]

i did see zip tie had that toyota in their recent vid. looked nice for a truck

[vapid smelt]

The front of SUVs and trucks are so goddamn tall they will force pedestrians under the car vs them landing on the hood if hit

[next plover]

LTT please stop giving me a heart attack and just stop using this camera with the dead pixel lmaooo

[mystic tundra]

i appreciate they don't throw it away due to a single dead pixel

[chrome vector]

Instead they should pay their editors to frame by frame color match the single pixel with the subject in focus. I'm sure this would both be a great use of their time and cause absolutely nobody to quit or go insane.

[mystic tundra]

i didn't know discord is going to use persona

bruhh, that one sucks

they've been caught retaining data for longer than promised under their vague ToS

[strange elk]

[mystic tundra]

they now applied also to their ToS that you waive to join agaisnt class actions when you use their services

32 gb for a Lego game is crazy

[elfin jetty]

def faking it XD

[mystic tundra]

it’s the same as roblox uses

which makes the whole thing even more suspicious

[elfin jetty]

its also tied to palantir

[mystic tundra]

if you’ve caught up to what roblox ceo said

[gleaming valley]

What did he say?

[mystic tundra]

which is tied to oracle

[elfin jetty]

yup. its all fucked

[mystic tundra]

i recommend checking the interview where he mentions the “fun, let’s keep doing down this”

and that he supports prediction markets aka gambling

[gleaming valley]

roblox is crazy with how much gambling there is in the game. Even player made stuff has a lot of gambling.

[keen cedar]

Me in a couple min

[cyan prism]

He looks way too excited

[keen cedar]

Back home for the first time in a while, making boxed Mac and cheese

You don’t know the amount of joy and whimsy I have rn

[mystic tundra]

the thing is you don’t gamble robux but in-game specific currencies

well, actually there are games on roblox now where you can gamble robux

and as you may know you can exchange robux through roblox studio for robux

[cyan prism]

counter-blox is an example

[mystic tundra]

or you can sell the robux on black markets

i hope someone sinks roblox and makes it 18+ in any country is better than nothing

they’re well aware they’re profiting from 18+ content

a lot of parents may not download the game if they see 18+

for their kid

[cyan prism]

I never played much roblox to be honest

[cyan prism]

Roblox rots brains

[gleaming valley]

ive never played roblox. I'm too old for that platform.

But I enjoy saying that roblox is the metaverse we deserve and not the one we want

[mystic tundra]

it’s all junk anyways, even the AAA-alikes aren’t that good but i’d say impressive for roblox

[cyan prism]

only roblox game I ever enjoyed was roblox arsenal

[mystic tundra]

their physics engine is also not good

[cyan prism]

🤷‍♂️

[mystic tundra]

it’s all way too buggy

you can just clip objects through other objects with a lot of torque

nothing else just torque

[gleaming valley]

yeah but minecraft was and still is buggy and its the most sold game on the planet? :p

[cyan prism]

Minecraft is fun

[keen cedar]

Nostalgiamaxxing

[white finch]

thats the least gambling game

any simulator game has more gambling

[cyan prism]

that's the only one I know
I'm sure any other person who plays roblox more than I do can name way more

[white finch]

it really depends on the game

[white finch]

yea counter blox is kinda dead

arsenal has been declining too

[cyan prism]

Arsenal is still a good game in my eyes, just doesn't get many updates

[white finch]

after 2020 its been trash imo

alot of people hate it now

arsenal golden days were 2016-2019

[cyan prism]

also arsenal reloaded is just dead

I think they put it in the trash

[white finch]

I don't really touch arsenal anymore It's been stale for a while

i like phantom forces

[cyan prism]

it's been on that little decline for a few years, I can definitely see it now

it was popping in 2020-2022

but now it's getting less players each year

[white finch]

the content is very stale too

no updates=no content

Something that really surprised me is the comeback of bee swarm simulator

[cyan prism]

tried to get into it, was too bored to play it 🤷‍♂️

[cyan prism]

unfortunately been like that for a while

[white finch]

i played it in 2018

18-19 and i had a full hive but then it died out slowly

now it has like 100k all the time

[cyan prism]

it's better than "escape tsunami for brainrots" at least

[white finch]

🥀🥀🥀

[cyan prism]

the kinda shit that's popular on that platform surprises me

[mystic tundra]

the base engine physics feature is buggy

[white finch]

steal a brainrot has done irreversible damage to kids

[cyan prism]

any game that involves some form of brainrot has done that

[mystic tundra]

tbh all of the games are brainrot

[cyan prism]

I've seen the effects of that

[white finch]

steal a brainrot has 58billion visits

[cyan prism]

shit ain't pretty

[cyan prism]

[white finch]

no there are gems

[mystic tundra]

all games are brainrot that do not involve the usage & development of your brain

[white finch]

theres 800k people playng brainrot tsunami

800000 people

[mystic tundra]

i mean even novels used to be called “brain rot” in the 1800s

[cyan prism]

there are good games on roblox
but whatever the hell just appeared in front of my eyes is not
