[fossil frost]

That's not with any changes. I can just plug into my regular sockets and get 3kw

[harsh quartz]

I think you could on a 240v circuit, so like a dryer outlet or something

[winged spire]

We get like 1.8kw

You’d want to install a 240v 30a circuit which is commonly used for clothe driers

So if your drier is in garage you can get a box that negotiates power between your car and drier

A smart splitter basically

[graceful mortar]

YESSSS. would eliminate teh cable theft concern and most vandlalisim.

realky? we dont hve them in USA becasue its a europenan standard

15 amp 120, which is 12A sustained. so 1,440w before losses

isnt europe normal wall outlets 230v 13 amp?

dedicated i think normal plug limit is 120v 100a wich is 240v 50a (NEMA 14-50) good for 9.6KW sustained input

hardwire could go higher, but i'm unfamiliar with those

but often panel upgrade is needed as a lot of homes are 100a or 150a since power requirements were lower in the 1960-1970's

[fossil frost]

240v13a (230 really). It's a standard socket here

[oak pier]

Bear in mind service in the US is in 240v, so we're talking 100a-200a 240v

[graceful mortar]

thast why you have kettles i think. we use the microwave

[oak pier]

US wall outlets have plenty of power to run a kettle lol

[graceful mortar]

put the teabag in water from teh sink, microwave for 2 minutes to cook the tea

[winged spire]

You can absolutely go to any store with appliances and buy a kettle in America

[graceful mortar]

but they arent fast like the UK ones.

[winged spire]

Faster than boiling a liter of water in the microwave

And less dangerous

[graceful mortar]

this was /j btw before teh pitchforks appear.
i know you warm the water after letting the bag sit in the room temperature water for 15 minutes.

[graceful mortar]

you can just use teh drink button and select 1 cup (or 2 or 3) and it will warm the tea up

[vapid crown]

Anyone else noticed the type in the new video?

[oak pier]

superheated water scary

[oak pier]

what about it

[vapid crown]

they're missing a zero

[oak pier]

So fun fact, they literally said that in their pinned comment

[vapid crown]

Oh I didn't scroll to the comments right away lol

[graceful mortar]

doesn't you house have to be crazy cold for that explosion thing? i doubt a normal room temperature spoon (84F /29C) can do it. im also told plastic wont do it either.

[oak pier]

congrats, you're 5 hours late

[oak pier]

Nope, room temp doesn't matter

It's about a lack of nucleation point for the water to begin boiling

so you can heat the water past it's boiling point without it boiling

[graceful mortar]

that would take FOREVER though.

its liek 5 minutes to make 16oz hot

[oak pier]

I mean like 3 minutes in the microwave and a cup of water and you're probably gonna superheat it

It's not a massive concern, but it is a concern

[graceful mortar]

and that's not even like hot hot. you could chug it if you wanted and just be "wow thats warm liek when i leave a bottle of water in the car" warm

[oak pier]

Yeah idk what kind of weak ass microwave you have, but 2 minutes in the microwave and my 16oz cup of water is hot enough to burn you

[graceful mortar]

thats seams excessive time just just warm your tea up no?

[harsh quartz]

I use big cup, 6 minute good

[oak pier]

Most teas are ideally brewed near boiling

[graceful mortar]

the $3k built in ones

[oak pier]

What a wonderfully non-descript description

[graceful mortar]

i think its 900w

18 inch platter

[harsh quartz]

Wait did we finally find the power who has the “low power” microwave?

[graceful mortar]

i know there are countertop ones that are 700w

[oak pier]

That would be why it takes forever for your water to boil

you're at the low end of the average wattage

800-1200w is standard in the US

[harsh quartz]

Most microwaves I’ve seen are 1kw minimum, usually 1100

And those are most definitely not 3k$

[oak pier]

you overspent and got a shitty model, congrats

[harsh quartz]

Brand names In a nutshell :p

[oak pier]

Especially true for appliances

For some reason major brands refuse to sell actual quality appliances

[graceful mortar]

aww the normal reasonably priced counter ones are 700w i think? https://www.walmart.com/ip/5125973778

[harsh quartz]

I did see something recently where it was like a drawer microwave, that seemed cool

[graceful mortar]

it has the exhaust hood and stuff, full inverter

[oak pier]

Yeah that's cause it's a countertop microwave, that's not really the norm

[graceful mortar]

i think GE?

[harsh quartz]

Holy hell that sites bad

[oak pier]

congrats? you've described the vast majority of microwaves in existence

nothing to justify that extremely high pricetag

[graceful mortar]

because i shortened the link to just product code

[oak pier]

The link has nothing to do with the unusability of the walmart mobile website

[harsh quartz]

That won’t change how my phone loads the site

[graceful mortar]

iirc inverter tech is oatented, so unless you buy from toshiba (?) you are actually paying 2 ppl.

[oak pier]

Panasonic owns the patent

[graceful mortar]

it loads differently here too and hesitates when i shorten them . i know some companies do taht so you HAVE to use teh app.

[oak pier]

It also doesn't really do anything at the highest setting

it mostly just allows for continously adjustable power, instead of pulsed operation

[graceful mortar]

okay ya so GE had to pay panasonic teh profit they woudl make selling their own microwave on top of actually making the microwave and their own profit.

i didnt choose it. it cam e with house lol

[oak pier]

Either way, you have an abnormally low powered microwave model, hence your slow boiling times

[graceful mortar]

yes, drink mode does it via sensor.

[harsh quartz]

What is this bougie shit?

[graceful mortar]

pause. why do you want to drink boiling water.,

[graceful mortar]

drink mode? like pizza mode, and popcorn mode

[oak pier]

You don't, but you do want near-boiling water for brewing tea

[harsh quartz]

I have never seen anyone ever use those buttons

Those buttons don’t exist

[oak pier]

because they don't really work as advertised in 99% of models

[harsh quartz]

You have 0-9, manual time mode, defrost, and “add 30 seconds” and that’s it

[graceful mortar]

the tea is done, you just need to warm it up if you want it warm.
thats why it sits for 15 minutes with teh bag. you pull the bag out then wwarm it up if you want.

thats why i never understood tea. takes soo long

[harsh quartz]

Is this man having a stroke?

[oak pier]

Tea is brewed with hot water my guy

[graceful mortar]

much faster to open a can of soda and get back to dioign things

[oak pier]

Someone clearly doesn't appreciate the calmer, more nuanced enjoyments in life

[graceful mortar]

just means not cold from the fridge. thats what the "cold brew" ones are for

i knwo you can make sun tea too where you sit the gallon plastic container in the sun all day with 20 tea bags in it.

[harsh quartz]

Are you talking sweet tea?

[graceful mortar]

our water from the tap isnt ever cold

[harsh quartz]

Cause sweet tea ≠ tea

[oak pier]

That's one way to make tea, but that's not the norm

Sweet tea is incredibly dissimilar to how tea is made in every other context

[graceful mortar]

no like sun tea.
grab a gallon plastic container, dump 20 bags in it, fill it with water, let it sit in the sun all day

[harsh quartz]

Tbf we also make sweet tea with teabags in boiling water, but it’s diluted an sugared then cooled

[oak pier]

again, not the norm, and not the topic of discussion

[graceful mortar]

teh sun is because you put it in teh sun to add radiation ior something

[oak pier]

Radiant heat...

there's no real benefit from the heat coming from the sun, it's just an option for heating tea

[harsh quartz]

Yall still brew your tea? I make mine with EMF

[graceful mortar]

whatever makes you sunburn

[oak pier]

I have a small fission reactor in my basement that boils my water

[harsh quartz]

In fact there’s probably some downsides to leaving liquid in plastic in the sun all day

[oak pier]

UV radiation...?

That has exactly zero impact on the tea

[graceful mortar]

ya you leave it outside to add that to the tea

[oak pier]

Yeah you can get plastic degradation

[hot tartan]

I blow it up with my mind

[oak pier]

That's like saying "add light" to the tea

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, yes, passing the high pressure steam through the bag, like a moonshine still

Is this what adhd is like?

[graceful mortar]

doesnt matter. drinking water is full of PFAS and PFOS long chain

[hot tartan]

add love to your tea

[harsh quartz]

Just having voices in your head that act like this?

[oak pier]

I find a liquid salt reactor creates the best flavor

[graceful mortar]

glass isnt affordable anymore. same reason you buy teh cheapest pan possible then trash it when it starts to flake.

[harsh quartz]

Mmmm saltea

[oak pier]

Intentionally leaching degraded plastics into your drink is ill-advised

[oak pier]

Speak for yourself man

[graceful mortar]

that i miss about Teflon, more durable than the junk now days

[oak pier]

Teflon leached chemicals into the food...

[graceful mortar]

yes PFOS fumes

[harsh quartz]

I’m honestly having trouble finding Tupperware now to fit the old lids I have, everywhere seems to only be stocking glassware

[hot tartan]

Dupont my goat /s

[graceful mortar]

PFAS will give you organ failure and cancer before teh palastics can

[oak pier]

"this other thing is worse, so nothing else you do matters" a wonderful argument to make

[graceful mortar]

considering i lived on a ww1 airfield and AFFF was used often

[harsh quartz]

Isn’t that the whole thing of nihilism?

[oak pier]

So fun fact, just because one bad chemical is present, doesn't mean you should intentionally add other chemicals to your drinks for fun

[hardy pilot]

@stiff pike You can use openrgb on Linux to control your rgb stuff

[oak pier]

yeah and nihilists are depressing as fuck to be around

[graceful mortar]

i mean, as i understand unless you are using a distiller, nothing yo can do as PFOS build up in the organs

[oak pier]

I don't see the relevance

[hardy pilot]

It also works on windows and macOS

[hot tartan]

don't want to be around german nihilists especially

[graceful mortar]

the plastic wont matter.

[harsh quartz]

The relevance is only drink soda and nothing else, and only out of glass bottles

So anyways earl gray tea smells like fruit loops

[graceful mortar]

i mean affordability is at all time lows. gotta do what you can.

[graceful mortar]

where yall getting glass bottles? its alum and plastic

[hot tartan]

Meijer

[harsh quartz]

Hmm yes let me go get my aluminum bottle of coke

[graceful mortar]

i miss 3L bottles 😔 could last a whole day

[hot tartan]

I think costco carries coca cola in glass bottles too

[graceful mortar]

mountain dew code red in glass bottles?

[harsh quartz]

Sam’s does but it’s expensive

[hot tartan]

eh idk about that tough luck

[graceful mortar]

thats imported from mexico, it has a diffrent recipe

[hot tartan]

it's in a glass bottle no?

[graceful mortar]

imported from mexico. the pepsi glass is teh good one. and "NEW coke" in the alum cans

[hot tartan]

sadly I will have to keep drinking my Arizona's from aluminum

[harsh quartz]

I’ve heard rumors of a Dr Pepper in glass bottles but haven’t seen them. Iirc same thing, cane sugar instead of HFCS

[graceful mortar]

yes. i was asking abt mtn dew, dark soda is bad for your teeth

[harsh quartz]

Arizona is not tea, idk what the fuck it is, but it ain’t tea

[graceful mortar]

exists. havent verified recipe.

[graceful mortar]

yes it is

[hot tartan]

some people smoke crack, just take care of yourself and drink soda in moderation and you'll be fine

[graceful mortar]

green tea and black tea

[hot tartan]

it tastes good and I have maybe 12 fl Oz a day so I'm fine with it

[graceful mortar]

they also have Watermelon (carrot juice), they have Adult versions

[harsh quartz]

Cheap too, so it’s not that bad, but I cannot call it tea

[graceful mortar]

and their energy blend will ROCK YOUR WORLD. and its $1.29. instead of $4.69 for a can of monster

[hot tartan]

I just get the arnold palmers, one with dinner typically, it's just nice

[graceful mortar]

but it has tea in it.

i miss when monster was $1.89, soda 1.29. and teh BFC was $3.29 (32oz)

[peak sable]

Every once in a while you can still snag monster for under 2$

[hot tartan]

i've still never had a monster tbh

[graceful mortar]

i'm still mad coke killed "Cuba-Lime" (came in textured can) so what it ate the cans 🤷 make better cans...
or the plastic cans like you did later for that NASTY water.
i met the regional manager of Monsterr branding when i was an uber driver (and a Nissian Engineer who worked on GT-R, you can imagine my shock pulling up to his house). i told her caffeine tastes nasty and adding slightly flavored water was foul.

[graceful mortar]

$2.49 at walmart, i was just giving circle k prices

propel unflavored water was my favorite. which is now gatorade water.

[hot tartan]

propel unflavored water? so just water with extra electrolytes?

[crystal flare]

My Bipap came today!

[graceful mortar]

yep cheapest cold drink is a fountain drink. 2-3 44oz "thirst busters" a day. now they are 38oz i believe. 7-11 had double gulps, but they don't fit in cup holders.
going to styrofoam was soo nice to stop the lake of water they made. but also ment you were buying a new cup each time ratehr than once every 6 months :/.
i miss Quiktrips old thick plastic cups. they lasted FOREVER! and refills for $0.39

i miss teh neon green lids for the 32oz

[graceful mortar]

yes like pedelyte unflavored

[graceful mortar]

these are nice too because the don't leak, and stay put on the floorboard or seat. the swivel ones just make a mess. you dont have to go back to circle k 2 times a day. thop be careful you dont use too much ice!

[hardy pilot]

double gulp

[graceful mortar]

yes, i was looking for teh old super biggulp white cup design with the green line unde "super" but the internet doenst have any pics of one

[hardy pilot]

I love the name tbh

[graceful mortar]

my teacher would get her Diet Coke in one and wash it daily. those old cups were deigned to be refilled for 6+ months at a time.

teh new cups are JUNK, lucky if you can refill once.

[graceful mortar]

Gulp, Big gulp, Super big gulp, Double Gulp

im allergic to large amounts of artifical sweetner, so i could never do diet coke. but i guess it helps you loose weight
and you pair it with a slimfast drink which counts as a whole meal

[graceful mortar]

tho Nos energy (my go to to self medicate ADHD ... at one point i was drinking 3 twist tops a day 😂) has sacralose in it and it doesnt make my stomach voilently spasm. 500mg caffiene is my sweet spot, can do more, BUT teh cost becomes an issue when each twist top is not $5.99. so $20 a day ~$550 a month 😱
[og bottle for those that remember ]

[winged spire]

Dawg my countertop one is like 1200w

Cheapo one too

[graceful mortar]

they arent that cheap tho

pretty expensive

[winged spire]

Mine was ?

[covert cradle]

was about to say, 700w microwaves are hella cheap in comparison. Brand new they're like $50-$65.

[winged spire]

“Microwaves can’t be cheap because i found one that’s 220$” is a very Cordell statement 💔

Black and decker makes appliances ?

The low end power tool company

Who is buying a black and decker microwave

[covert cradle]

For sure a Midea rebadge

[graceful mortar]

tho i guess " cheap" is relative. i'm from the era where a month of georcies was $100-$110. NOT THIS $550 baloney.....

[winged spire]

Yeah there’s like 2 microwave factories in the world

Microwave cartel

[covert cradle]

but in any case, 1200W microwaves are usually 3x the price of a 700W cheap shit one. Still not that expensive in the grand scheme of things, but relatively pricy compared to 700W

[graceful mortar]

true, i guess i woudl need current price to make that claim

[winged spire]

900w

Idk what my microwave is other than 1200w

[graceful mortar]

inverter microwaves. saves power, and cooks much better. i though you were saying your was cheap and an inverter one.

[graceful mortar]

they Brand almost anything

[graceful mortar]

" big microwave"

[hardy pilot]

that's a really dinky microwave

[covert cradle]

nah, that's a bit below average. 700W is the dinky option that most people I know have (I'm not in wealthy circles lol)

[harsh quartz]

I think it’s dewalt primarily now

[hardy pilot]

damn, never heard of something under 800

[covert cradle]

I haven't seen a non-700W since I was a kid living in a wealthy neighborhood

[winged spire]

American outlets are 110v

[hardy pilot]

Yeah, we can pull max 1800 watts

[winged spire]

The normal here is 110v15 so a MAX of 1650

[graceful mortar]

$220 is a shit ton, thats more than ranges used to cost. but yeah. inflation sucks!
for 14 years total was 14%. then the next 6 was 30%. and that with the "what current homeowners say they would be willing to pay to rent their current home." not the actual cost to rent being in that CPI calculation.
the same ones who say you can do a studio for $350 still in 2026, when its more like $1,100 ....
i digress.
just crazy asset prices are sky high yet 50% are over extended on their rent costs. when total housing is supposed to be less that 30% limit.

[winged spire]

You don’t wanna draw more than 80% of that though

[oak pier]

american outlets are 120v*

it is exceptionally rare to actually have 110v

[graceful mortar]

crazy to feel this poor when in 2021 i was making what woudl be $250,000 today.

[winged spire]

Not really

[oak pier]

Yes really

[winged spire]

Are you saying houses built before the 60s are exceptionally rare?

[graceful mortar]

YES so many melted outlets in apartmentrs from popwer strips in kitchens

[oak pier]

about a quarter were built prior to 120v being standardized

[winged spire]

That’s why the number of outlets is in the electrical code

[graceful mortar]

106V under load. depends on the transport lines resistance.

[oak pier]

and many of those would have had upgrades since to meet modern electrical load

[oak pier]

Yeah you cannot just say "106v under load", you have to specify exactly what the load is

[winged spire]

It’s to prevent idiots from running extension cords into power strips into more extension cords

[oak pier]

80% continous load, 100% peak is acceptable

[winged spire]

Yep 👍🏻

[oak pier]

When in doubt, abide by the 80% rule though

Best practice not to push your luck with capacity limits

[graceful mortar]

most of our apartments were 1960's builds. so 2 -3 outlets in teh kitchen. but some oen will put the air fryer and coffe maker on a power strip to have room for the 3 tablet charging station for the kids baby (cheap baby sitter) and have the toaster overn, and coffe maker on another one. and the microwave plugged in. the fnal outlet is almost always too close to the sink and unuseable becasue tahts where you have teh drying rack for teh dishes.

vs when i was a kid and teh only plug in appliance was the 4 slice metal toaster you had to put on its side to keep it engauged.

yes im still on the MBP with teh ghetto air keyboard. sorry for typos. if i see something egregious ill fix it.

[graceful mortar]

the water heater

[oak pier]

So a load designed to function at the limit of a breaker's continous load limitation?

Far from what i'd call an expected load

Also your voltage should not be dropping that much under load

[graceful mortar]

like i understand power factor is flet by power plant, but not billed. but in a battery based system its is felt by inverter. tahst as far as i go with power factor.

[graceful mortar]

define peak tho. i was thinking 5 minutes, soen say 3-4 hours (assuming contunious load)

[graceful mortar]

ESPICALLY with outlets of unknown age

[oak pier]

Greater than 3 hours (as defined by the US electrical code)

[graceful mortar]

no, it draws less than teh microwave, its just my common resistive load.

breaker is 20A it draws 990w

[winged spire]

You can get a higher power kettle if you bypass the breaker and use alligator clips straight on the busbars

[graceful mortar]

ive been looking for 300-400A wired houses. i want to be able to charge 2 EV at 9.6kw during super off peak when its $0.03/kw vs the normal $.26 rate

[winged spire]

Fed doesn’t want you to know that

[oak pier]

Even better if you bridge both phases, 240v ftw

but you'd also still be limited by a breaker (the main breaker to your home lol)

[oak pier]

That's 100a 240v for 2 EV's at 9.6KW + the 125% safety buffer

[graceful mortar]

well before i found out you literally need to gross $15k to buy a home, OR save 30% down within 5 years ~$120k down for a fixer upper, then you only need to gross $10k a month. 🤯

my friends all had a huge multi hour argument. ( i just observed) then they came to teh conclusion that none of us make anywhere near enough money to buy a house. hell even combined we would barely qualify,

[graceful mortar]

yeah i think it said 80A @240V is what it woudl be.

[oak pier]

Yeah but that does qualify as a continous load, so you have to leave in the safety factor, leaving you at 100a

a 50a 240v breaker per

[graceful mortar]

crispy connections! use taht old alumioum wire too................

[graceful mortar]

Oh sorry, yes. Thats were 9.6kw came from

I called to verify and the way she basically explained it is normally if you go over certain usage there's an additional charge but when it's super off peak they're just trying to sell every single bit of electricity that they can.

So it is EXCLUDED from useage fees. I.e. "over 2000kw you rates goes to XYZ"

So yeah, $1 a day in fuel is MUCH better than the $15-$20 I spend now. But again the ability to buy a home is gate keeping from that happening.

*edit: $3 would be a "full tank" or 180 miles.

So about the same as this I got gas Monday. I'm on 1/8 tank today. So basically 1/4 tank per day driven about 180 miles. Or $22 a day 😭

And that's at $4.70 a gallon. Not the actual $5.30 a gallon market price. 😔

[random jolt]

tbf for most people as long as u have access to any up to spec 15A outlet that's enough to cover most daily commutes if u charge over night

I don't have an answer. I was at my first real non-contracter job 2016-2021. And have been focused on Skilling up since 2024. Should be re-skilled by 2030.
Fully skilled by 2032 (depends on the job market if it makes sense to push hard or do it in lil pieces) then 4 years as an intern.

So 2034 or 2036 would be my first "look" as fully licensed and certified.

Any merit to this? Yes the "safe way" is to stay at least 10 years.

But as his wife who spent 15 years at a company learned.... It wasn't actually all that helpful for her. (Mainly because she only promoted once).

[chilly egret]

Yep stay for minimum 2 years, but if they aren't giving raises/its not looking like a promotion is happening, start looking.

[graceful mortar]

They didn't give real raises for 5 years. But how do you make SURE when hired that they actually give raises. I understand the companies concern. And yes with 500 applicants per position no reason to chose someone who looks like they leave every 24 months.

Just how do you make sure you aren't doing what he did which had him take a 40% pay cut over the nearly 6 years he was there.

@pseudo swan

[graceful mortar]

I still think ALL P model Tesla need to be tri motors to stop the understeer coming off a corner, (since Tesla drive axles can't handle the stresses of applying the brake on the inside wheel to tuck the nose by over driving the outside wheel)

You kind of just have to deal with it pushing wide into the next lane when turning right. because if you turn the wheel tighter than a few degrees the car suddenly limits the power to almost nothing

Note It wasn't actually slipping the tire at the contact patch. It was literally putting so much torque on the front that it was just wanting to go in a straight line even though the wheels were turned.

Oh And when they changed to the comfort suspension they ruined the MYP and turned it into a nightmare on the highway. I thought "hey it's Tesla They just don't know what they're doing with suspension design..." Then I drove a pre-comfort dual motor and realized it rode better than my MYP because it actually controlled the weight and didn't just pogo up and down off the bump stops constantly.

The dual motor (comfort suspension) had "dangerous weight transfer characteristics on high speed sweeping 90° turns" is what I wrote.

Then I drove a pre-comfort and it didn't feel like it was gonna scrape its door handles from the rate of roll When taking a left at an extended intersection at 50 miles an hour.

OFC sapphire is #1 because Jason Cammisa, Ben Collins, and others have shown it to be a dynamic masterpiece.

Maybe with s,x dead we will get a real Performance 3? Tri motor, carbon coated rotors to control heat, higher sustained discharge. 700HP. 🤔

I just really want an EV that can power off a right hand turn like the Acura Hybrids do with SH-AWD. Or an Evo, or a GT-R, or the Ford ST twins, or the RS Audi, or the AMG Benz. 😫

Or the Tycan, or the Hyundai N cars REALLY looking forward to 6N, since 6 is 30% more efficient on the highway than the 5 😍 which is where range actually matters for useability. (130 vs 98 MPGe)

Hey guys, would you prefer a 3060ti or a 6750XT nowadays? If you had to choose one....

If this is not the proper channel to ask such question, please let me know and I'll delete it and post elsewhere

[hardy pilot]

I have a 6750xt and I love it

[hardy pilot]

the 6750xt has 12gb of vram and the 3060ti only has 8gb

[narrow fractal]

Yeah, that is the main reason. I got the opportunity to change from 3060ti to a 6750xt with a friend, he only used it for a year. Mine is 4 years old ++.

And the main reason is exactly the raw performance, but specially the VRAM

I play 1440p, if I load BF6, I have to go all LOW, otherwise VRAM explodes. With 12Gb, it will leave me some room to change it a little

[graceful matrix]

its cool and practical just like the segue to our sponsor💀

[hot tartan]

nope none

[strange elk]

Not the two police cars lol

[rough socket]

I had one for a few years, it was just a big (big) bench table lmao
Before open cases were a thing

It was cool until I had a cat

[covert moth]

i dont have pets, so im safe there

[rough socket]

You have really great thermal performance but absolutely no sound isolation

It's also great when you fiddle with your pc a lot

[covert moth]

hmm im wondering how bad the sound is under load. (gaming)

[rough socket]

Well, mine was a bench table so it was made to be easy and probably real cases are more annoying

[covert moth]

ah ok, im looking at like something along the "Monster Studio A45 MAX" frame

[rough socket]

Entirely depends on the configuration

[covert moth]

ah kk

[rough socket]

Oh yeah it's basically a bench table

Not mount for fan to move the air around the case is a bit sad but it will probably be fine

If you have an already silent system it will be fine too

If it's something you enjoy having go for it

Good things with those is that you can't really have bad thermal performance so that helps

[covert moth]

yeah i think my PC doesnt get that loud tbh, maybe when im gaming something thats a huge resource hog (star citien or VR titles)

[rough socket]

If you play with a closed headphone that helps too

Opening your current case can give you a good idea of how it will sound

[covert moth]

yeah i'll try that today after work, thanks for the advice man :D

I never get when experts think that LTT making videos about them doing something wrong, is LTT doing something wrong by accident. It's a company, a big company, Linus is a cartoon character that has a script to read from, a carefully curated script designed to maximise engagement without sacrificing TOO much. These "stupid" decisions are 100% on purpose, because it drives engagement through the roof

[summer folio]

They should rename LTT to Channel Super Fun, & vice versa

[restive lion]

Pissing off experts results in engagement

Change my mind

[summer folio]

You're saying that is what Linus has been doing this whole time? Being wrong on purpose?

[alpine gale]

Most of the time, true. But there are times where companies genuinely end up with X waste that they never planned for. If you can re-use something that would otherwise go to waste, why not? Especially if it makes for content.

As with everything, there's what we see, what the company sees, and there's the truth.

<@&750150305383186585>

[twilit jewel]

Lol well when I type it in it says a user named MOD un.knownx

Sooooo?

[fossil frost]

mods arent paid to jump on a ping the very second somebody pings.. if and when they want to respond, they might..

[twilit jewel]

I get that, I'd usually DM one
I didn't see a support ticket channel

It's whatever

[harsh quartz]

They’ll respond when your least expecting

[vapid smelt]

They just want typeable/pingable names

[tardy terrace]

yours is fine because it's normal ascii characters present on almost any keyboard

the issue arises when you have non-standard characters

(I am not a moderator)

((#Peyton4Mod though))

[long briar]

yeah that's been publicly expressed as a pain point for discord

Your best bet is ignore autofill and just type int @ Mod like this and enter

[oak pier]

if you put a space after the mod ping it’ll also embed properly

[little pendant]

I'm Alive!

[little pendant]

But why?

[alpine gale]

Why not? 😅 After all, the Wii used a PowerPC processor...

[alpine gale]

#rules 11 indicates that we might change an account nickname if it's non-alphanumeric. While I cannot speak for all of us, one's username is good so long as I can easily @ ping it using a standard US ASCII keyboard layout. If I cannot get the account to appear using @ followed by a few letter of the name (I test this on desktop because the way Discord handles username pings on mobile is absolute garbage), I generally change it.

[alpine gale]

Yep. Discord being Discord. It's dumb.

[harsh quartz]

Ironic that the mods are so hard to ping then

[alpine gale]

Agreed, but once again, blame Discord. 🤷

[gleaming cove]

It's not updated out of the box for some reason. This and many other apps will only start installing when you actually open it for the first time.

[gleaming cove]

Are you 12 hours behind GMT?

There's a terminal command that you need to use inside linux to fix this.

Windows sets the system clock as local time. Linux uses GMT. That's why after you use linux and then boot windows, windows thinks the system clock is showing the local time which is why it is showing GMT. You need to change cachy settings to make it set the system clock as local time and the problem will be fixed.

[fossil frost]

tbh. if somebody is asking that question the answer is "ubuntu or fedora.. if you like to tinker, fedora, if you dont, ubuntu"... all other distros are for people who already know what they are doing, and are able to make their own choice

[elfin jetty]

Well, the new answer is mint for new users

[gleaming cove]

It's not at all poorly done tbh
It's just preferences for each os and what the developer chooses to do. Linux itself supports setting system clock as Local time instead of GMT. Windows also supports setting system clock as GMT but for that you need to dig into the registry or use commands

[fossil frost]

mint is ubuntu with some paint that was applied by somebody who is relatively new at painting

[elfin jetty]

I disagree, there's quite a bit more to it than that

Its actually even more user friendly than ubuntu

[gleaming cove]

Why does the answer keep changing every time...

[elfin jetty]

the thing about linux is it constantly evolves.

[fossil frost]

i found it less tolerable than ubuntu, before i eventually switched to fedora. no part of mint feels.. polished

[elfin jetty]

how long ago did you use it

[fossil frost]

18 months ago

[elfin jetty]

yeah theres been a few pretty large updates since then

[gleaming cove]

Sad

I wish there was a distro that felt really modern

[elfin jetty]

.....? they can all feel modern depending on the DE you use

[fossil frost]

anything using gnome 48/49, such as ubuntu or fedora.. it looks like if macOS wasnt designed by pretentious bellends

[elfin jetty]

unless you use slackware

[elfin jetty]

I cant stand guhnome

it looks and feels like 2013 kindle fire interface

[fossil frost]

i can never tell if you are supposed to say it as "gee-nome" as in the human genome, or noh-m, as in, garden gnomes

[elfin jetty]

i call it guhnome because it makes me guh every time i see it

but i thinkg its gnome as in the garden variety

personally, I run debian sid and kde plasma

[fossil frost]

i used to like KDE, years ago, because it looked nicer than gnome, but KDE feels like it hasnt updated its design since the early 2000s

and i think gnome looks fine

except that the screenshot tool captured its own notification 😄

[gleaming cove]

Uhh I just want it to be easy to use. I've used a lot of different distros and DEs but none of them feel "modern".

By "not modern" I mean that it still feels like it's stuck in 2015. Or it tries to be too modern and be like cyberpunk.

I need to spend like hours to customise it and I wish there were better methods because the number of options gets overwhelming sometimes

[fossil frost]

i enabled 1 option. and that was to make my "task bar" shrink to fit, instead of filling up the bottom of the screen... took a few seconds

[elfin jetty]

yeah but you have to install a shit ton of extentions just to make it usable. kde comes with everything i could ever want out of the box

[harsh quartz]

holy noise

how do you not get a headache looking at that thing all day

[elfin jetty]

ADHD, lol

[fossil frost]

ive installed zero extensions, and that looks like the joke desktops from movies

[elfin jetty]

just the right amount of stim

[gleaming cove]

this is what I call "too modern" and doesn't feel easy to use

[elfin jetty]

and yet its fully functional and exactly how i like it

[fossil frost]

best part about linux, you CAN and SHOULD make it fit to you, instead of you conforming to it

[harsh quartz]

i mean i get adhd but trying to focus on any of that at 10pm would fuck me up so bad :P

[fossil frost]

that being said... you have terrible taste 😄

[elfin jetty]

Oh well, I love it

[harsh quartz]

i didnt even see the fucking miku cursor

[elfin jetty]

oi, don't you diss miku cusor

[harsh quartz]

im going to diss any non default cursor, especially a miku cursor

[elfin jetty]

not my fault ya like boring

[fossil frost]

i have to present my desktop quite a bit.. and i would like it if the people who are paying me a lot of money to present my desktop to them, didnt think i was a pervert 😛

[gleaming cove]

Gnome 3 was also so similar to this. It has not been changed since then. Whatever I've used like a decade ago in school, it still looks the same. I would like some changes to it yk

[elfin jetty]

.......what?

[fossil frost]

(its how the general public sees anybody who likes any anime of any kind)

[elfin jetty]

dont set your background to be something sus then????

[dusky jacinth]

Respectable.

[elfin jetty]

man idgaf what the general public thinks, they can eat my ass XD

[dusky jacinth]

So viooleeent. Lol.

[fossil frost]

the general public pay me a lot of money, so i need to care 🙂

[elfin jetty]

so use a laptop with boring things

and have the good shit at home

[fossil frost]

i work from home, been to the office 3 or 4 times in what? 7 years

[harsh quartz]

gotta keep it clean

[elfin jetty]

they don't provide a work laptop?

[fossil frost]

"clean" with 2 full columns of icons 😛

[elfin jetty]

windows

[fossil frost]

they do, locked to windows, so i avoid it where possible

[harsh quartz]

yeah, but i know where theyre all at and i use them

[elfin jetty]

eh, I'd use it as long as it wasnt my hardware it was running on

[fossil frost]

i use it to do anything that requires me to be on the work VPN, otherwise, i work out of a VM on my main machine. its more powerful anyway

[harsh quartz]

tbh i used to work from home with a seperate work laptop, it was just so much hassle, it got to the point where id leave it turned on across the room and remote into it from my desktop

[elfin jetty]

ah a vm is understandable

[fossil frost]

when i need it, i RDP into the laptop, to then get on the VPN, to then RDP into an AzureVM 😄

[elfin jetty]

even thats ok, as long as i dont have the work shit on my hardware directly except a vm lmao

[harsh quartz]

kek, now we just use work PCs and parsec into them if we need something on the company network, otherwise i just do all my work shit on the main pc

[dusky jacinth]

Well, unless you're the same age group as my brother or eldest niece apparently.
Anyone older, then things get a bit complicated.

[harsh quartz]

its why i have a desk phone on my pc desk

[harsh quartz]

ive met some very very old people who are obsessed with kpop and it confuses me greatly

[elfin jetty]

better than being obsessed with country like my dad is

[fossil frost]

i copied the hardware info from my work laptop, tried to clone it as close as possible to get it so the work security software accepted that the VM was the same machine, i ALMOST had it working, then it tried to sync with AzureAD (or Entra or probably also called copilot by now too).. and it bombed

[elfin jetty]

oof...

[dusky jacinth]

This... Is my mom, just not really as an obsession and moreso liking kpop and being in love with 90s contemporary from boy bands and such from that era, as well as current contemporary out of artists like Taylor Swift.

[fossil frost]

almost like people are able to enjoy new things?

[harsh quartz]

i mean one of these ladies has what is effectively a shrine to BTS in her room, and we had to fix her internet, and as soon as her ipad loaded it was "THERES MY BOYS"

[dusky jacinth]

And that's why I've never questioned it. People are permitted to enjoy whatever they end up liking.

[fossil frost]

if your mum was a teenager in the late 90s, early 2000s, shes around my age

[dusky jacinth]

Well... As long as it never turns into this.

Then we're fine.

[harsh quartz]

this lady is like 80+ YO btw

[gleaming cove]

what is your screen resolution?

[elfin jetty]

if it makes you feel better both my minecraft server and my minipc to control my 3d printer are default for the most part XD

[harsh quartz]

2560x1440

[gleaming cove]

Ah alright
Makes sense why everything looks so small

[harsh quartz]

everything looks the right size to me

[gleaming cove]

Yeah makes sense

[dusky jacinth]

Interesting...

[gleaming cove]

I'm doing something I never thought I would ever be doing

Actively using ms edge to be more productive 💀

[dusky jacinth]

... Dammit, after looking at your main desktop, I now feel like things are missing here, even when there aren't.

[elfin jetty]

XD

[harsh quartz]

thats the calm before the storm

the anxiety is clearing

[elfin jetty]

I quite heavily customize my main machines and leave my servers default because I dont look at those nearly as much

[gleaming cove]

Taskbar feels too small
But it looks clean

[elfin jetty]

its smaller cause i need more room to look at the 3d model before i print it

[gleaming cove]

How do I get image permission in this channel...

[elfin jetty]

this is my main desktop

without all the stuff up lol

[elfin jetty]

you need the regular role

[gleaming cove]

Ahh makes sense

[harsh quartz]

the miku is still excessive

[fossil frost]

space age worth the £30 price tag for some DLC?

[harsh quartz]

every time i go to type miku my hands try to type mimikyu by habit

[elfin jetty]

that was literally the very first thing i found to change lmao

[elfin jetty]

you tell me

[harsh quartz]

not 100% yet?

[fossil frost]

lightweight apparently 😄

[elfin jetty]

I like taking my time and I'm not really an achievement hunter in games

[harsh quartz]

okay, but at this point i figured you wouldve got them all by osmosis

[elfin jetty]

there are a good few that are pretty specific

[fossil frost]

tbh, ive got about 500 hours on it, then wandered off.. played satisfactory, but replay value on SF seems much lower than factorio

[dusky jacinth]

Hmmmm okay, I guess that's fine.

[harsh quartz]

SF kept me in for about 60 hours, then i get to the point where i need to rebuild the entire factory, and just stop :P

[elfin jetty]

rebuild? nah, expand

[fossil frost]

its the single map that ruined replay for me..

[harsh quartz]

well, rebuild to expand, cause you get steel production, and everything needs to be rebuilt for the steel stuff

[elfin jetty]

delicious spaghetti

[harsh quartz]

why do you have confederate states on your map

[elfin jetty]

lmfaooo

I like to think of it as a living organism

one that consumes all

[harsh quartz]

i might pick up factorio eventually, i like starting factory games and then never getting to the late game :P

[elfin jetty]

and I'm about to colonize another planet ;p

[harsh quartz]

most time ive spent in factory games is in minecraft factory/automation modpacks

[elfin jetty]

space ships are very fun

its massive

[harsh quartz]

i definitely wouldve bought factorio if it was ever on sale, but the whole never going on sale thing makes it less interesting imo

[elfin jetty]

i think its a fair price

[harsh quartz]

sure, but im cheap, and i know im not going to put nearly that much time into it

[elfin jetty]

hm

[harsh quartz]

if it was on sale, i wouldnt feel as reserved about spending money in case i didnt play that much

[elfin jetty]

theres always another option to try before buy

[fossil frost]

cough buy it from ukraine cough

im playing High on Life 2 right now though, only about a hour in, so cant say if its as good or as funny as the first though

[harsh quartz]

i cant say i found the first one funny, but i also dont like rick and morty, so it tracks

i also had some friends that played it, i love asking how fast the talking gun gimmick got annoying cause the answer is always "very"

[fossil frost]

they started to get a bit repetitive if you get stuck, but in general, i thought they were ok, and quite funny

[winged spire]

just popped into claud's response lol, nice try

[mystic tundra]

same, especially when free games are popping so often

itch devs stepped up their game and epic still gibin fre games

mostly drm-free games can run without the launcher

[fossil frost]

tbh, £30 for the base game, ive put 500 hours in.. ive paid £60 for games ive put 40 hours in.. so on a £/hr basis, its great value

[winged spire]

nah thats actually crazy, like 5 point font white text on white background at the bottom of the site

[sacred crow]

And reliable they are

hitachi was super reliable in my experience around this time

[alpine gale]

I still have a handful of 500GB Hitachi Ultrastar drives kicking around that I use to temporarily chuck data onto in emergencies. All still work. Some are over 15 years old.

[sacred crow]

Dang

My Hitachi 320GB is about 17 years old now

[pliant karma]

Bruh same thing in TC1....

I think my brother's old Hitachi hdd from his old craptop still works to this day. Can't remember if he's still using it or not though.

And this is relevant to a tech server how?

i thought copper was abundant? why would anyone steal copper

[rough socket]

Money is abundant tho

[modest beacon]

thats the thing

i dont get why people are homeless lol

[rough socket]

Lol

[tribal meteor]

Heh.

[rough socket]

How much do you pay, is it unlimited ?

[dim agate]

i wish i could get this working on my computer

unfortunately only my NAS gets it

[tribal meteor]

$120 a month and yes, unlimited data.

[dim agate]

i dont have enough pcie lanes or whatever on my pc for my x540 to work properly

[tribal meteor]

This is what I get on WiFi

[cedar finch]

Might get a free Samsung Phone

[rough socket]

Things are so expensive in the US, but I guess you earn more

We have 8gbps symmetrical for 50€ in the EU

[dim agate]

this is what im sitting at

[tribal meteor]

I'm getting 10Gbps service soon and it's cheaper.

Different ISP and I've heard good things with this company compared to my current ISP.

Oh that's nice

Lol in one atm, we're supposed to brain storm a 30 min tv show drama comedy pitch.

No one has said anything in the group chat since monday when we first met

[tribal meteor]

Yes

But j also don’t know what’s going on… so

[solid bison]

gentlemen, have you tried insulting Microslop AI "assistant" and what he could've said?

[wispy marsh]

hi

[radiant trellis]

Dude my microslop account got hacked and they basically said "we saw that it is indeed hacked but can't do shit cuz t&c and just buy the games again."

[wispy marsh]

i have at least 3 different ways to confirm my logins

[winged spire]

Propload has started

[dim agate]

do u need the 2nd slot

[kind vine]

lolno

i have 1matx 2itx boards

[dim agate]

u see i need the 2nd slot

and i need a 3rd on my nas

[kind vine]

realistically my case cant even use it

[tribal meteor]

People actually use Copilot?

[dim agate]

never used copilot a day in my life

[pliant perch]

I've used it where I work to turn a multipage doc down to a 1 pager

[solid bison]

ofc no, just wanted to say everything on my mind about telemetry and lost right Ctrl key on my laptop

[tribal meteor]

I use Acrobat for that.

[pliant perch]

I would too, if work gave me an Acrobat Pro license. But as always have to make do with what I've got

[solid bison]

and also to just see what insulting AI feels like

...and Copilot is friendly as hell

[kind vine]

yeah i interacted with it once

where I straight up disabled it

[dim agate]

L bozo

i need to find a motherboard that has enough pcie lanes for a 1070, x540-t2, and a capable HBA

[gleaming cove]

How did it get hacked

[kind vine]

it can but with the normal gpu orientation

[radiant trellis]

I dont even know tbh, i even had google authenticator set up yk

[gleaming cove]

I use Gemini on my phone so I have Gemini pinned. If I didn't have that, I might have used copilot
It's nice to have options

[radiant trellis]

My discord alt account got hacked in the morning and it was linked to the same email

[gleaming cove]

How did your discord account get hacked

[radiant trellis]

But i recovered that account and changed my discord pass and email pass

[dim agate]

thats what i was thinking

[radiant trellis]

I hv no idea, i didn't even get a login email,

Now my discord alt didn't have 2fa so it's understandable

Maybe my password got leaked somehow

But my microslop account does have 2fa

[gleaming cove]

no but like did you click on anything
sign up on something random

[gleaming cove]

Microsoft is a lot more stricter with what happens to accounts that get hacked unfortunately
It's a common issue. Getting the accounts back is extremely difficult. Most of the time it doesn't happen. You gotta start fresh.

[radiant trellis]

I don't remember, i don't think so, i always use a seperate email and password when I do register for something sketchy

[radiant trellis]

I literally spent money on it 😭

Like over $100

[gleaming cove]

Never register for anything sketchy 😭

[gleaming cove]

That's sad man
Try contacting support again but I am not sure if you will be able to recover it or not. Afaik only steam actively helps people who get hacked but Idt microsoft does that.

Have you tried this btw
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-recover-a-hacked-or-compromised-microsoft-account-24ca907d-bcdf-a44b-4656-47f0cd89c245

[radiant trellis]

Yea

Check off topic

[tribal meteor]

Ehh I can’t blame you for that.

I own the Adobe Teams license, I had 16 seats in my organization.

Pretty nice for such features, but expensive.

Cause Adobe. Lol.

[pliant perch]

Yeah, I know a company that completely dropped Acrobat Pro after Adobe increased the license costs

[tribal meteor]

I’m paying $45.99 per seat for the full Adobe Pro.

Adobe Teams discounted rate.

i do NOT want to scalp someone...

[plush grotto]

[toxic needle]

but also i dont know what a fair price would be... (to be completely fair, its free money for me since i cant install them in my pc now that i have all 4 slots filled)

[plush grotto]

its standing!
