[frigid goblet]

[north escarp]

This a camera light beam or?

[winged spire]

UAP

[north escarp]

Like old cameras capturing part of a reflection? Whats uap?

[winged spire]

Unknown aerial phenomena

Like a UFO

[north escarp]

Well the moon does recieve aloooot of charged particles from the sun

Some phenomena is expected

[winged spire]

They were unable to explain these, hensw the unknown

[north escarp]

The energy pattern is curious

Waves or frequency of some sort passing through it

Hrmmmmm

Maybe

[winged spire]

It does look uncannily like electric propulsion lol

[north escarp]

Last bit that was cut off but possible

[frigid goblet]

Its the russians

The dogs that they had sent to space prior

[north escarp]

Thats so messed up xD

Poor pups never stood a chance, hate that footage

[winged spire]

Lmao maybe if Russia wasn’t completely fuckin incompetent 😂

Russia hasn’t had a successful moon mission in over 50 years

[north escarp]

Can probs use ai rn to bring a majority of old ps1/ps2 games to the modern era

[north escarp]

At least they try, they got bigger problems rn id assume

Havent been watching them much lately I understand their conflicts on the history of the area and how it was divided amongst generals so long ago but mehhhh its a rough place. The world's in a spot thats hard to recover and break paths of despair and dread

Such is the circle I suppose

[frigid goblet]

The russians were the first to get to space

[north escarp]

The great space raceee

[frigid goblet]

Lets see what elon musk will cook

[north escarp]

Also a curious period important to understanding the current situations

[north escarp]

He's got neat ideas no qualms

His efforts have benefited man to a degree

[winged spire]

The Russian way is first and useless

Well, use to be

Now it’s nothing

Their Hubble space telescope clone is 25 years behind its original launch date 😂

[north escarp]

Rn unfortunately those factorys are probs under different authorisation

If history reflects any

[hollow token]

Why do we want to do this tho?

Whats the point of automating our entire society?

[rapid yacht]

hi

i made my own shell

[stiff pike]

Pc screen went dark and my pc fans boosted to 100% why

GPU was at 80 and CPU at 50

Did it overheat? 4th time it happened

Twice today and once in the past week

I can't with this anymore

Can't afford to lose more kits in abi 😭

[winged spire]

SpaceX* and they’re already cooking

[frigid goblet]

[north escarp]

Good question well you see the threshold of old to young people is to high

What used to be 7-8 young men 18-30 for every 1 elderly person over 65 now has only like 1.4 young person in certain areas

So if they dont automate soon the elderly will either be w/o or the younger generation will only be caring for the older both scenarios kinda suck

But such is the situation, Japan's a good example

[chilly egret]

Check the error log/event viewer?

[hollow token]

That i understand

[north escarp]

https://youtu.be/1QPMcWpJEgM?si=IYQa1j3l-TkFk3EA

Good food for thought but shows the bigger problem

Titles clickbaity and the first minute you kinda just gotta hear him out to see whats going on

Whole thing is kinda sad if you think about it

All the love for my Japanese peeps ❤️

[winged spire]

incredibly cheap to visit japan rn

the yen has been collapsing for like 30 years now

[vapid smelt]

Minus the flight

[winged spire]

Flights ain’t bad

[vapid smelt]

$1500 Cali to Japan

[winged spire]

gotta deal hunt

I think my internet is too bad to send images 🙄

I sent it like 5 times its gonna all appear at once

[wispy marsh]

Ah, another video on japan

[narrow mesa]

discord api is down

[harsh quartz]

and then get warshitted

[wispy marsh]

South korea is much more extreme after their crazy modernisation

There's a video somewhere that shows americans having five to seven generations of slow adaptation

Japan's around four to five

Korea's around two to three

From the rural/suburban lives to a high-speed, high-pressure rat race

[north escarp]

[winged spire]

Adaption to what

[wispy marsh]

City lifestyles and modern living

[narrow mesa]

i mean yeah

[wispy marsh]

Where each child and each generation have their own isolated niche spaces

[narrow mesa]

america puts all their budget into the military what can u expect

[vapid smelt]

We gave them capitalism after the Korean war ofc they made huge advancements

[winged spire]

<1/7th

[vapid smelt]

We got GPS because of that budget

[winged spire]

YOU all got gps because of that

For free

You’re welcome

[vapid smelt]

Exactly

[winged spire]

We spend more on healthcare per capita than any other country and it’s not close

[fossil frost]

if GPS was invented today, theres zero chance the USA would give it away for free

[vapid smelt]

And we help civilians in struggling areas around the world with humanitarian aid to with our large military

[vapid smelt]

GPS subscription service

[fossil frost]

wouldnt even be that, it would just be "state secret"#

[floral moat]

Could you imagine proposing fire departments, libraries, etc in today's climate lol

[fossil frost]

libraries are actively being gotten rid of.. governments cant have people actually knowing things 🙂

[harsh quartz]

well, we used to

[winged spire]

we shouldnt

unfortunately thats not how GPS works, though

[vapid smelt]

Discord is to fucked right now wtf

[nocturne siren]

70k reports on downdetector

[north escarp]

Yeah,we need a secondary spot

[winged spire]

in a just world, every other country would pay a subscription for its citizens to access GPS

[north escarp]

Psp or was it the vita that had gps

[vapid smelt]

https://www.kbb.com/car-news/tesla-recalls-cybertruck-because-wheels-may-fall-off/

psp

costs us 2 billion per year upkeeping this essential, and global public service for free

[fossil frost]

It was purposely nerfee until relatively recently. And is still slightly nerfed for public use. Same for glonas and Galileo. All 3 systems being interoperable is the biggest win

[vapid smelt]

Who made the 3rd

I know the ussr and USA system

[winged spire]

GPS GLONASS and Galileo

Galileo is european

[vapid smelt]

Oh its euro the galileo

[winged spire]

Images still broke

So are gifs?

[vapid smelt]

And links

I tried to send the link to discord Twitter stating they are working on it

[winged spire]

super glad im not in the software developing industry, the state of it is insanely embarressing

just shameful

They’re gloss now

(You can tell it’s well designed as a robotaxi because everyone else is copying it)

[rustic tundra]

they couldve used one wiper

[silver sun]

829

[rustic tundra]

this could be the roadster we waited for

both are 2 door coupes

[acoustic ruin]

yes

[hollow token]

As someone who almost got into a wreck from a tesla pulling left into oncoming traffic, I do not want to be driven by autopilot

[gilded quest]

Who is copying it

[winged spire]

Lucid

2 seater robotaxis with a very large trunk is definitely the correct choice

[winged spire]

And you just decided that FSD was driving?

[hollow token]

Yes, because I enabled it

[winged spire]

Autopilot or FSD

[hollow token]

Autopilot

[winged spire]

Lmao ok

[hollow token]

?

[winged spire]

Cruse control is not self driving

[hollow token]

I don't understand the discount of almost being tboned by using tesla autopilot

[winged spire]

You turned on cruise control and stopped controlling the car and are shocked you almost crashed?

[hollow token]

No, I turned on autopilot

[winged spire]

Yes that’s what autopilot is

TACC and lane centering

[hollow token]

Oh then fsd. It was a trial drive because I wanted to try the technology

[winged spire]

Regardless, humans crash all the time (and statistically more often) so your personal experience doesn’t move the needle at all

[hollow token]

The kick onto the highway was enjoyable

[gilded quest]

TIL

[winged spire]

They’re goated

Very expensive cars that are extremely unreliable but apparently things are improving

They are very nice cars though

[hollow token]

Idk if any of my photos came through but here’s my jank ass test rig for my radio telescope 😛 gotta design a real base but I still don’t have a final place to put it

[orchid walrus]

just seen the Ltek video.

Woulda been cool if they showed off more than just Stepmania. (that hasnt seen a release since 2018)

Also the 20+ years of community made content could have got a mention.

[winged spire]

Had a cousin who went there on vacation and he said it’s super cheap

[winged spire]

Yep

Flights aren’t particularly cheap though

Mostly just local prices

[harsh quartz]

but tarrifs were supposed to fix everything?

[keen mural]

FUCK

[mystic tundra]

[strong kettle]

iphones are way cheaper there too

at least for me

they offset the flight costs

[nocturne cobalt]

hi

[sharp leaf]

If I have a 5080, do I want to avoid using V-Sync in most games? Is V-Sync meant for lower tier GPU’s?? What about DLSS OR DLAA? Trying to figure out if I need to be enabling these or turning them off? I think one time i had option to use FSR and DLSS or DLAA wasn’t available? Don’t quote me on that

[wide ginkgo]

For people who been to Whale Lan, is it worth it to fly from Los Angeles Area to the event and have a few days trip in May? What are some fun experience/goods that is not available here in the state?

[plucky thorn]

Computer, make everyone that reads this gay 👨‍💻

[rough socket]

4k or not? You can and should almost always use dlss in 4k

Otherwise it's simple : not enough frames, dlss, enough frames nothing (if dlss isn't better than nothing... Often the case in 4k), too many, dlaa

And for v sync, if you do have way too many frames it's useful but usually people just use gsync, and tbf no vsync is made exactly for beefy gpu

Also if you don't have a 4k oled display with a 5080 I'll find you and spank your ass

[sharp leaf]

I do. I have a LG C4 42 inch

Upgraded from LG OLED Monitor and a 3090. I tried maxing out graphic settings on Elden Ring, GTA and Cyberpunk and I couldn’t.

I have more questions but I won’t bother you

It’s still really confusing to me

[rough socket]

Yeah that's not surprising tbh

Maxing out settings isn't anything smart, there are a lot of settings that exist just to destroy everything and kind of be a showcase of tech / being there for a distant future

For example in cyberpunk the whole pathtracing thing is NOT thought to be used like that without dlss or whatever, it's a showcase of tech and will only be possible to be used without any dlss or framegen in maybe 10 years lol

And considering how the gpu market is stagnating 10 years is hopeful...

[thin vigil]

The hard R claims another. This guy didn't have a Luke to save him.

[tawdry light]

what exactly is floatplane?

[frigid frost]

Thanks case manufacturer

[frigid frost]

Its lmgs own platform where you can see exclusive and non exclusive content of multiple youtubers, its like youtube memberships

[thin vigil]

Sort of like Patreon for LTT and a select few other creators

[tawdry light]

[hollow token]

I bet chewing capacitors tastes a lot like pop rocks

[tawdry light]

[mellow junco]

hi everyone

[nocturne siren]

is this a pentium 2?

[ebon socket]

is this just me or is discord generally really laggy rn? my mouse is god damn stuttering back and forth.

i somehow cant get this fixed. this is since that outage yesterday

[fossil frost]

Vsync has got nothing to do with low or high end. It's to stop tearing. Vsync syncs ,or attempts to sync your frame rate to your refresh rate

[frigid frost]

Forgo

[patent harness]

It's probably due to the outage

[graceful matrix]

Also for me

[graceful matrix]

Is discord getting ddos or just power loss

[wide igloo]

are stuck pixels common?

[oak pier]

no

[wide igloo]

i mean they have to be cmon

[oak pier]

nope

[wide igloo]

anyway to fix them

[uncut moat]

Hi

[echo path]

just search stuck pixel fixer

[manic blade]

DIY APE 3.0, almost like MAC PRO

I'd really love to build a new PC like this, too shame hardware prices have been so high lately.

[ebon socket]

somehow gets fixed once theres an overlay over it. like game bar. but otherwise it keeps happening

[graceful matrix]

😭

[winged spire]

[orchid sundial]

Ugh I just wanna play Valorant, why must there by 19 separate possible issues causing my problems

I swear I'm gonna bark at the government

Ah well, DDU time

[ebon socket]

hmm. what helped me was reinstall an older version of my gpu driver for some reason

[graceful matrix]

Just dont play valo

[graceful matrix]

Im on phone

[orchid sundial]

Sadly it's one of the easier games to just hop on and just play without thought. Plus its free

[graceful matrix]

Roblox >

[orchid sundial]

Can't talk to people on roblox

So any sort of cooperative game is impossible - you just jump on and let the people that play it all the time do the objectives

It's fun, don't get me wrong, but unless you already got a discord VC goin, it's just you sitting in silence

[graceful matrix]

Tthen cs2

Or war thunder

[orchid sundial]

Maybe I'll hop on CS2, haven't played since the update. No War Thunder, not my style

[lime haven]

ay i also always bullied my friends bc they play warthunder until i played one match and i could not stop playing

[orchid sundial]

It's a cool game, don't get me wrong, but those open man domination style games just never locked me in

Even Battlefield which, while fine, was mostly appealing for the gunplay and running around like a psychopath with a defib

[lime haven]

ive broken 3 ps5 controllers on that game

[orchid sundial]

Hell I played Titanfall and rarely used Titans - I was a wrangler.

I'd call it in on auto and yoink batteries and blow up titans

God THAT was fun

Might have to look at going back to it but I'm washed up

[hardy pilot]

Damn, skill issue

[stiff pike]

My PCs screen went black and fans kicked in to 100%. Looks like it's happening when GPU reaches 80°. Second time in the past 20 mins

The image sometimes glitches for a second or two

Cooked GPU?

In games I also see TONS of motion blur

Repasting time?

Is it cuz of the temps?

[fickle wren]

Yes repaste

And repad

[stiff pike]

I'm scared of doing this

That I'll damage smth

[fickle wren]

Nothing scary about it if you can follow steps

[stiff pike]

Okay

What paste? And what pads

[fickle wren]

What specific gpu

[stiff pike]

Palit 3080

Gaming pro

[fickle wren]

Ty

[stiff pike]

I'll ramp up the fan speed to 70% In game to see if it does that again

GPU was at 90% usage before cuz fps capped but now I'll push it to the max

[fickle wren]

@stiff pike https://youtu.be/ifXTupO9zwQ?si=-daKxRqw5hJe3acg

[stiff pike]

Okay

[fickle wren]

And only the thickness of the pads matter, the thermal paste and pads you choose don't matter so much

Anything is an improvement

[stiff pike]

Okay

My steam controller isn't here yet so I'm just using a dualsense

I keep the fps capped at 60 because otherwise there will be dips around 80 so I don't want to lock it to 90

[rose horizon]

I looked up how much steam machines go for and it’s $600 😭

[jaunty compass]

....no

The steam machine isn't out yet and it's gonna be more than $600 lmao

[rose horizon]

Some people were saying $550 initially but one of the articles I read said it could go anywhere from $600 to $650

[jaunty compass]

That's the 'maybe while you're sleeping' price range (because it's only happening in your dreams)

[hollow token]

Im curious why you said "literally anything else"

[winged spire]

Because life is nuanced

[hollow token]

The things you say do have some nuance to them

[winged spire]

Alright bro

[alpine gale]

What Aquatic means is what I said above: higher number != better. My Canon Rebel 500D from 2008(?) takes better photos than many Smartphones made today.

To be clear, I'm not saying this to be all "snide" or "mine is better" - it's all a big tradeoff. Even I do not carry a pocketable camera with me - I just use my phone. But I know if I did have my old DSLR or my newer EOS M6 Mark II and lenses with me I would get better photos.

[hollow token]

Photography is a subjective field so I get that, but there are plenty of fields where that does apply

[harsh quartz]

It’s subjective in the way of “this is pretty” and not “this image is this exact size”

[hollow token]

True

[winged spire]

It’s OBJECTIVELY true that bigger mp ≠ better photo

[alpine gale]

Exactly. An blurry or chromatically aberrated image containing 50 billion pixels might have more data, but I'll take a 20MP in-focus, non-aberated photo any day of the week.

[cobalt ingot]

Chat how the fuck do i make my pc boot

[hollow token]

Also true. I initially thought bigger mp == better collection of light information. That's all

[hollow token]

Power button

[cobalt ingot]

[harsh quartz]

Power. Switch. Button.

Short the pins

Really any number of ways

[alpine gale]

Totally fair. Also to be fair, camera manufacturers (rather, smartphone manufacturers) don't tell the consumer shit about the nuances of their camera systems, other than "more MP better" and "we have machine learning photo processing!" and lots of people just believe what they're told. It's a silly market out there.

mom keeps her TV inside a cabinet and was telling me about how during the summer she has to put a fan on it to keep it from overheating and shutting down, so I grabbed a PC fan and a couple L-brackets out of my stash and rigged up a fan that just points on the rear grill of the TV so hopefully it won't overheat as much

wish she wouldn't keep her TV in a cabinet but eh

[prime jolt]

haiiii:3

[tame temple]

how was this? was it cringe? or nah?

but hello everynyan

[hollow mango]

in the next 20 years, you'll have your own "TV inside a cabinet" habit that you won't want to break

[gusty leaf]

hope not!

as of right now my only regret with the purchase of my own TV is that I could have gone for a bigger one

I financed the thing anyways, what's a couple hundred more for 10 or 20 more inches

[rough socket]

Wtf

How is it only a couple hundreds more for 20inch

If I wanted 20 mores inch it's like 10k more lol

[gusty leaf]

well it was more like $400 more for 20 more inches

I currently run a Bravia A80J 55" which at the time was about $1200 when I bought it

the pixel density at 55" is crazy but from my viewing distance it doesn't completely immerse me and fill out my frame of view, yknow?

This was the text that was at the bottom of dbrand's mother's Day email, lol.

"Each time you place a dbrand order, you kick off a complex sequence of events. First, your bank will initiate a funds transfer into our corporate account. This generates an order fulfillment form at our warehouse. Once this form is ejected from the printer, it lands atop a scale. Every 178 orders, this scale trips a weight limit, sending an electric shock directly to the brain of a lab rat. Through years of conditioning, the nerve endings in this rodent have been specifically programmed to press a large red button at the first sense of pain. Once pressed, a spring-loaded mechanism launches a pre-bundled wad of $100 bills onto a conveyor belt. A large, open duffel bag is carefully positioned at the end of the belt. With each deposit, a laser sensor increments a cycle counter. Every 100 cycles, an alarm is tripped. This alarm signals a courier to collect the bag and deliver it by hand to the Cayman Islands. Once the drop-off is complete, the funds are laundered through a network of shell companies. Simultaneously, the courier is swiftly and discreetly disposed of. Oh - and we also ship your order."

[fossil frost]

sims 4 has been free for almost as long as its been a thing. the DLC is paid, and most of the DLC is now micro-dlc too. but you can play the base game, which is quite expansive, for free

[tough palm]

depend on what content. the two tech chat allows images

[fossil frost]

their hope is, you get bored with the base game, and buy an expansion... and then another expansion, and they you hot the sunk cost fallacy, where "a little bit more" is always ok

oh i have that one, i would recommend you get the rtings icc profile

it comes really.... red.... from factory

[sullen ore]

Isn't it paid

[tepid jasper]

but otherwise it's been fantastic

[tepid jasper]

i think i have it downloaded

[sullen ore]

Funny you say, mine feels iddly green. By eye at least

[tepid jasper]

i can send it in a bit

[sullen ore]

I'd love that!

[tepid jasper]

hmmm, idk anecdotally it was very red and iirc the rtings review said similar things about the sample they had

[sullen ore]

Either way, I'm happy to try

Do color profiles apply for both hdr and sdr pictures?
I messed around with color balance by eye.
But when I enable hdr, it just gets greener, and no way to adjust colors

[tepid jasper]

uhhhhh i have no idea

just removing it cause technically it's supposed to be paid but....

[sullen ore]

Yeeee fair

I'll put it somewhere safe

[tepid jasper]

tbf when i downloaded it was free

[sullen ore]

Am I recommended to reset the monitor's built in settings and stuffs to default? I have some funky stuff going on with the color temperature

[hardy pilot]

[tepid jasper]

uh probably

[sullen ore]

aight

[tepid jasper]

i found that the profile fixed my redness issue

[sullen ore]

aight. monitor reset. Reenabled freesync, local dimmin, and overdrive

Do you guys leave hdr on at all times? Even during regular desktop use?

[gusty leaf]

yeah

[sullen ore]

Applying it sliiightly desaturates the image in sdr. But I assume it's for the better.
Hdr still has the same green tint. Or whatever other color flavor

Why do security cams always have to be so shit?

[harsh quartz]

??

You can clearly see everything that happens in the video

[hollow token]

don't gaslight yourself like that

If I bought a phone with a camera like that I'd return it same day

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, they’re not meant for the same purpose

[hollow token]

so security cameras are supposed to glitch out and be shit quality?

[harsh quartz]

You want your phone to be as high fidelity as possible

Security cameras need to record a LOT of footage at significantly lower quality, you don’t need to see everything, you need to see the important bits

Which you can

[oak pier]

they’re supposed to be very low cost

and not required a large server for storage, reduces cost

[winged spire]

lol if you record in iPhone quality you’d be using like 30gb of storage per hour per camera 😂

[oak pier]

Like the store i work in, they have like 20tb of usable storage for security camera footage from like 50 cameras

[hollow token]

I guess more modern cameras figure out how to maintain quality comparatively

[oak pier]

if they were running at 4k we’d be lucky to have 1 week of stored footage

[oak pier]

upgrading costs money, and no business is going to spend money they don’t have to

[hollow token]

Not what I expect in security footage

[oak pier]

the current state of security cameras is more than sufficient for the vast majority of businesses, so it doesn’t make sense to swap it out for something better on paper

for the businesses that need better, they invest in better

[hollow token]

Just the glitching. Obviously this security camera has seen better days

[oak pier]

it’s not the camera

it’s the compression of the footage

they’re using very aggressive compression

[winged spire]

Gotta be many 100s or thousands of traffic cameras in that city

[oak pier]

and cities usually want to be able to hold footage for as long as possible

[north escarp]

I keep all my backups on 2×24tb hdds ones just a copy

[oak pier]

that way when the court subpoena goes through 3 months after the incident, they still have the footage

as always, it’s a cost benefit problem

[winged spire]

Bestbuy has the highest quality security cameras I’ve ever used

Like $5k 4k PTZ cameras, 70x zoom or something

[oak pier]

You can spend more money to get a better outcome, but does that actually lead to any real world improvement, and if it does, is it worth the money invested and increased ongoing cost

[winged spire]

Definitely not for traffic cameras

[hollow token]

Best buy goated

[oak pier]

Precisely

[winged spire]

Maybe if you’re guarding like Fort Knox

Spring for the extra server space

[oak pier]

Fort Knox likely has better cameras than in the video we saw, yeah

[hollow token]

They're like the only store to have an in-store map in gmaps

[oak pier]

granted, fort knox isn’t actually all that important nowadays

It’s extremely likely it doesn’t even house all that much gold anymore

[winged spire]

Only like 4500 metric tons

[oak pier]

Last time it was publicly audited

which was what, 20 years ago?

[winged spire]

There’s literally no evidence suggesting it’s been moved

[oak pier]

Eh not really gonna dig into that can of worms rn

[winged spire]

[mystic tundra]

didn’t know it was used in contacts

but makes sense as i think it difuses less than gold does

[winged spire]

I guess it’s probably very specialized

[mystic tundra]

for golden plated contacts you need nickel

otherwise your golden plated contacts will get basicly dissolved (diffused) in copper

like the copper will find it’s way over the gold

and yk it would no longer be golden plated

[mystic tundra]

oh yeah forgot the mention, it’s also soft

which is a big + if you know how to design a connector

There’s another one

Nvm I guess it’s the same thing

“Mildly positive”

[rose horizon]

It started in Argentina in the Andes mountain ranges

[rose horizon]

I have a huge mask with air filters. If it gets bad again, I’m wearing it in public

[mortal kraken]

I think it's a good idea to get a few boxes of masks ngl while they're cheap
I remember how expensive they were during initial days of covid

[gleaming cove]

😐

[rose horizon]

I think my folks still have some stored in a closet somewhere so I’ll definitely get them out of storage if the virus starts spreading quicker

[gleaming cove]

It's real...
I don't think it works very well though. It is apparently having some issues. It will take some time for crackers to fix that ig. But it should be easy for them.

[plucky thorn]

Nah we'll be fine. Just eat healthy and exercise

[winged spire]

What

[sterile rivet]

What

[winged spire]

Not how that works bro

[rose horizon]

Exercise does help your immune system a lot

[plucky thorn]

Yup it's the best thing to avoid getting sick

exercise, and diet

[winged spire]

Hantavirus has a 40% mortality rate, you have a high likelihood of not being fine regardless of your diet and exercise

[plucky thorn]

I don't believe in all those pandemic scares and stuff. They're just trying to funnel money off the populace

[winged spire]

There is a severe education crisis

[rose horizon]

I’m an introvert so I’m not around people enough to get sick

[winged spire]

[plucky thorn]

I never get sick I'm not worried

[winged spire]

Education 👏

[winged spire]

Probably for the best, public gyms get pretty gross

[plucky thorn]

Where did you get your medical degree?

[winged spire]

You do not need a medical degree to understand that getting this virus would be bad

[gleaming cove]

The state has a responsibility to take care of them, even if they have the virus. The US is doing the correct thing.

Whatever situation they are in, they need to have properly isolated rooms, and they need to have proper medical care for a few months.

[winged spire]

Quarantined, yeah

Assuming they’re actually going to be quarantined

[gleaming cove]

If they don't do that, then they are dumb

[winged spire]

I’ve heard mixed reports of if everyone exposed will be or not

Even beyond the Americans

[gleaming cove]

Tbf the virus only spreads in some particular specific conditions

[winged spire]

The big thing is person to person transmission

Hantavirus hasn’t been an issue because it normally is just from rats to humans

[gleaming cove]

Yes, and that happens in very specific cases

It doesn't spread like Covid does

[vapid smelt]

covid was never real

[winged spire]

Specific cases like any prolonged close contact

[winged spire]

I wish

[gleaming cove]

Yes
Some body fluids also iirc

[winged spire]

So it’s like TB?

Arthur Morgan gonna get hantavirus

[gleaming cove]

uhh not sure
but like
If you speak standing extremely close to someone, then when they speak, their saliva or something might get on you.. That can spread this

[gleaming cove]

Rockstar Games got their idea for RDR3

[winged spire]

Or live with someone that’s infected

[gleaming cove]

Yes there also you'll have close contact with the infected surfaces soo

[junior bison]

Super excited

[gleaming cove]

Damn Forza Horizon 6 is actually cracked...

That too, 8 days before launch

Not as impressive as the Spider Man PC port, but still this is crazy...
They're probably gonna release the game early now I suppose?

[jolly mist]

Can’t believe it’s leaked

[rough socket]

Why would they release the game earlier because it's cracked ?

[gleaming cove]

Because people that want to play will try to access it through these methods to play it earlier.

[rough socket]

You are surestimating the amount of people that will crack stuff tbh

People who will buy the game will buy the game no matter what

[gleaming cove]

Well... Yes
But it would be better for the company if the game is released officially and everyone hears about the gameplay from the official versions of the game, rather than a poorly compiled cracked build.

[rough socket]

again you really are overestimating the visibility of cracks

[gleaming cove]

it actually does affect revenue a lot.

Otherwise, explain Denuvo

If cracks are not that significant, then why are companies spending like crazy in preventing day 1 release of the cracks

[rough socket]

It may be significant enough to warrants to pay for denuvo, which sure is expensive but is kind of nothing compared to the insane budgets of games nowadays

But also, the game is cracked, I don't think they'll lose that much more by not releasing the game earlier

[gleaming cove]

The company will also want to control the narrative so I can see them releasing it early for that.

Piracy is a big issue for game developers (for the first year atleast)

[rough socket]

people that will crack it will crack it eitherway now that it is cracked and the amount of people that would buy it if it's released one week earlier and would never buy it otherwise is not significant in my opinion

[gleaming cove]

If it was cracked a year or two later, you would have had a lot more sales. That number seems to be significant enough for companies to warrant a DRM.

This should also be a lesson for Xbox that they should release their games on xbox console first and a few months later, release it on PC.

But one more thing to add, this time I don't think it was because of the platform in any way. They apparently uploaded an unencrypted version of the game.. Which is on them....

[rough socket]

Yeah this I agree, well "a lot more" is vague and I don't think it's thaaaat much more, but sure enough to warrant the DRM yes

I meant that releasing it one week earlier now that it's cracked wouldn't change much

Also, yeah, xbox hardware is kind of dead anyway ....

[rough socket]

where did they upload it ?

[gleaming cove]

I meant that releasing it one week earlier now that it's cracked wouldn't change much
They could still control the narrative

[gleaming cove]

I think Steam
lemme check

[rough socket]

lol the guy who did that is getting fired for sure

[gleaming cove]

Yep Steam

[rough socket]

yeah that's dumb of them haha

[gleaming cove]

Playground Games accidentally made the full, unencrypted files available for pre-load on Steam days before the official May 15 early access release.

This needs an alternate xbox account also, because this uses the xbox service, and anyone accessing this early could be banned

[rough socket]

"could", they will surely be banned lol

[gleaming cove]

I dont think Xbox wants to alienate the few gamers that still use it lmao
They might be people who spent 100s of dollars on many games, but because of their curiosity to access this game early, they might have downloaded it. I don't think that warrants an account ban-

[rough socket]

Yeah i'm not sure they'll agree lol, we'll see

[opal thunder]

Bruh, I get that it's important to let people know when there is somebody missing, but why am I getting an amber alert from 900km away at 1:16 am...

[gleaming cove]

Idk if this is true or not but yeah

[rough socket]

Maybe it's them making people afraid lmao

[gleaming cove]

Another subreddit is saying this was posted by a youtuber who got banned because he violated his embargo... 😐

fear mongering posts lol. he got account banned because he made a 45 minute youtube video while the embargo is still active. he's a well known modder/youtuber in the forza scene.

[rough socket]

oh yeah ok

[proper girder]

hi guys this is quite a weird question

but do you guys know ppl who have a github repo above 5k stars

[willow bramble]

Yes?

[proper girder]

Basically, claude has this thing where they let contributors of a github repo above 5k stars get claude max free for 6 months

also im not trying to advertise

[willow bramble]

Ah, I see. The people I know already have their own AI toolset/pipelines setup

https://claude.com/contact-sales/claude-for-oss

It has to be the owners or core maintainers rather than any contributor

[proper girder]

I was not aware of this

"primary maintainer or core team member" ohh

I was going to see if i could convince anybody to let me use their username so that i could get claude max because i need the higher usage limits

[willow bramble]

If you are using it that much, pay for it?

Or consider alternative cheaper models like GLM

[shut lichen]

It's not like the game was magically available to play early in steam because of this.
You had to manually download it and run it, the bans are deserved

[oak pier]

How dare people buy and play a game on steam

[viscid elm]

amazing

[gleaming cove]

I am okay with people pirating stuff. I understand why they're banning but imo they shouldn't.

It's not like the company is an indie game company or anything...

[oak pier]

If those bans aren't lifted the moment the game goes live, they're totally fucked

[plush grotto]

nope i support the bans

[oak pier]

You support banning players for downloading and playing a game on steam?

It was the dev's fault for releasing it early, how is that the fault of the players?

[plush grotto]

the thing is, they are not playing it on steam

[gleaming cove]

No you need the crack to play it. It's not playable without that

[oak pier]

Oh!

Nvm, i support those bans

[gleaming cove]

And the game also uses your linked xbox account

Most cracks have a separate dll file that simulates these things.

[plush grotto]

its still locked on steam

[oak pier]

Obviously it's locked now, but was it at the time?

[gleaming cove]

Yes

[plush grotto]

yes

[oak pier]

Oh, then yeah 100% those bans are valid

[plush grotto]

they accidentally released the pre download unencrypted

[oak pier]

Oh!

I completely misunderstood then

[plush grotto]

im guessing the actual pre download goes live 13th or 14th

[gleaming cove]

Imo
They should unban them when the game releases and if they access the xbox services from the official sources, let them play....

[plush grotto]

but yes, in theory players who have bought it might be banned now for not being able to resist.

[plush grotto]

they should have to pay a unban fee

if you pirate a a game and try to access MP with said copy you should be banned no matter what

[gleaming cove]

Nahh the people that downloaded this, atleast 10-20% of the ones that did, are probably hardcore forza fans who wanted to test this out early. I'm not sure xbox wants to alienate those users.

[plush grotto]

to bad for them

[gleaming cove]

Turning the game on itself used the xbox game service right?

If their internet was on it probably connected automatically.

[plush grotto]

im 100% sure xbox doesnt give a fuck about them, they broke the rules. now they have to live with that

but you know, just create a new account

[gleaming cove]

No it's a hardware ban

[plush grotto]

not for everyone

[gleaming cove]

Alright well then that's good
But if they had spent any money on that account, that's gone...

I almost downloaded this thing. Glad I didn't do it (although I have no xbox games anyways)

[plush grotto]

The Forza account is gone, not the Xbox account

[gleaming cove]

Oh really? Not bad then

[plush grotto]

I cheat in CSGO, would you also expect me to be banned on satisfactory? Or cities skyline?

[gleaming cove]

Also, wait for a few days or weeks. Crackers will figure out and release more patches that make this completely playable, even multi player.. (not advocating for piracy, but saying that they are extremely skilled in this)

Playground games messed up big time with this

[plush grotto]

Very simple, there is probably an build I'd hidden somewhere, anyone connected to that gets the hammer

[gleaming cove]

Does FH6 use denuvo?

[plush grotto]

IDK. But I believe the previous games used a combo of updates and old updates to determine if you tried to access MP with a pirates copy

If you attempted to connect to online servers with an outdated build you would be banned afaik

[gleaming cove]

I don't want to go into more details about the pirated stuff coz I don't know if it's allowed or not-

But yeah I agree, pirated copies trying to access official MP servers usually get banned immediately.

[plush grotto]

Not just account ban. HW ban imo

But a pirating ban I think you should be able to buy yourself out of. Let's say 100 for the game and a 50% pirating ban unban fee

[gleaming cove]

I have a different view on piracy. For a lot of the pirates out there, they do it because they can't afford the game. But it helps in making them fans of the game. If someone in such a situation pirates FH6, they'll probably be in a position to buy the FH7. That brings more people towards them.

If I never pirated gta vice city, I would never have played it. And then I wouldn't have an official copy of gta 5 if I hadn't done that, and I'm waiting to buy gta 6 in a few years. That's why I don't think piracy is bad in any way at all.

[oak pier]

There obviously needs to be some penalty for piracy, but beyond a point it hurts your sales

[plush grotto]

If you pirate it's fine, but if you are banned because you tried to connect to online services with a pirates copy and get banned you should be able to pay for the game and unban.

And the unban penalty shouldn't be pennies, it should be a slap on the wrist

[gleaming cove]

6 months or 1 year timeline is good imo. Remove denuvo after that and it's gonna cost the company a lot less, and will bring in more revenue for the company in the future.

[oak pier]

GTA VI not launching on PC at first is wild to me

[hollow token]

Isn't it standard for Rockstar games

[gleaming cove]

It will get cracked easily if they do that.

[oak pier]

Losing out on that influx of interest on PC just doesn't seem worth it to me

[hollow token]

Gta vi doesn't need pc. They need sharkcard purchases

[gleaming cove]

It also boosts console sales

Console gamers are likely to spend more money on in game stuff soo it makes sense

You can't mod it or anything also

[hollow token]

When was the last Rockstar game to release on pc and consoles?

I know it wasn't 4, 5, or rdr2

[rustic tundra]

gtav enhanced

trust

[oak pier]

GTA The Trilogy: The Definitive Edition

most recent like actually new game is RDR2

[hollow token]

Ok but I mean original release. Not remakes

[hollow token]

Wrong

[rustic tundra]

v enhanced is 2025 but thats just a graphics update

[hollow token]

Yeah I don't mean remakes. I mean original game release

[rustic tundra]

rdr2

[hollow token]

Thats not correct though

[oak pier]

It quite literally is

[gleaming cove]

Why did rockstar approve such a thing to release in their name is beyond me. They're taking years to polish gta 6, but can't take a few more months to create a proper remake of 3 small games that everyone knows inside out.

[hollow token]

Windows came later on

Thats an incorrect statement

[oak pier]

That wasn't even your original question lol

[rustic tundra]

rdr2 is still the newest original title

[hollow token]

What?

[oak pier]

When was the last Rockstar game to release on pc and consoles?
at no point did you stipulate it had to be a simultaneous release

[hollow token]

Bruh 💀

[gleaming cove]

Tbh that was kinda understood based on the context 😭

[oak pier]

it would be October 26, 2018 for RDR2's console release, and November 5, 2019 for the Windows release

[hollow token]

Ok so thats wrong then per my original question

[rustic tundra]

based on that we might see gta 6 on pc in october 2027

[frigid frost]

This is a very long shot, but does someone coincidentally have a folder of these?

[oak pier]

What are you waffling about dude

[hollow token]

Man I hope so

I got a ps5 so im not impatient but I want it for pc

[oak pier]

You asked a question, got a correct answer, then said "wrong" and refused to elaborate

[oak pier]

LTT probably

[hollow token]

My original question was when did Rockstar release a game for both pc AND console. Not console, then pc. Basic logic application

[oak pier]

it would be October 26, 2018 for RDR2's console release, and November 5, 2019 for the Windows release

[hollow token]

You don't understand basic logic application in sentences

[frigid frost]

I asked my contact, but since he's in marketing, he doesn't have them

[oak pier]

You failed to clearly articulate your question

A game can release both on PC and Console without being released at the same time

[frigid frost]

prop just gonna watch every video until I find the ones I need

[hollow token]

Sorry, I took a logic class and attribute "and" directly to gates meaning both

[oak pier]

Yes, and RDR2 released on both PC and Console

Just not simultaneously

[hollow token]

Then thats not solving the question. Thats console, then pc. Im asking console and pc

[oak pier]

an AND gate doesn't require simultaneous input from both sources, just that an input is received from both at some point

[oak pier]

it's not answering the question you were trying and failing to articulate, but is the answer to the question you actually asked

[hardy pilot]

Your question indicates in no point a time reference

[hollow token]

It does with the "and" meaning simultaneously:)

[oak pier]

it does not

Sorry that you misunderstand how the english language works, but the word "and" does not in that context imply a specific time frame

[hollow token]

Im just applying basic logic here

[rustic tundra]

rdr2 it is

[hardy pilot]

And requires both inputs to be simultaneously to be on at one point or another, not synced 100% of the time

[rustic tundra]

but what i think you mean is what game released both on consoles and pcs at the same time

[oak pier]

You're applying external knowledge only you possessed to reframe the question you asked

[hollow token]

Thus is a release day.

[hardy pilot]

(This is for the Boolean function)

[hollow token]

I wasn't asking for the existence of. I was asking for a release day which is a one time input

[oak pier]

In which case it would be worded like:

When was the last time rockstar had the same release day for both Console and PC

[oak pier]

Except you didn't ask for a release day, you asked for the existence of a release

[gleaming cove]

Guys
It's just a misunderstanding. CHILL

[hollow token]

I did ask for a release day. I didn't ask for availability of the game

[oak pier]

Except you didn't ask for the release day.

When was the last Rockstar game to release on pc and consoles?

[hollow token]

Where does that say existence of?

[oak pier]

A game release means the existence of a release

[hardy pilot]

No, input 1 can start 1 second before input 2 and the and gate will still open as long as they are both powered at the same time after that (can substitute input 1 with console availability and input 2 for pc availability) the only moment your statement was true is before pc was released but after console was released

[summer folio]

Lol, YouTube logged me out on Firefox for using ublock origin

[hollow token]

yes a release day only lasts 24 hours. If they don't release the same day than the AND gate fails.

[hardy pilot]

Release day? Where was this in your original question?

[hollow token]

the implication games release on days.

[hardy pilot]

Im so flabbergasted by your obstination that I lost my words

[hollow token]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_published_by_Rockstar_Games

Rockstars release habit has always been fragmented, it seems

GTA VI not releasing on PC the same time seems habitual

[harsh quartz]

How are you arguing literally every time I enter this chat

I have nothing left, except discord arguments

[harsh quartz]

[warped whale]

okay thank you, will look into it

but why that rec tho?

[graceful matrix]

Idk its a series

[warped whale]

what its features/ specialties that made you rec it mean?

or was it only the price point

[graceful matrix]

Its a phone and do photos

[warped whale]

oh okay thanks

[hollow token]

used phones can be a good decision nowadays too

[graceful matrix]

Sure like 250 euros for s s23U

Any one know why when I open kali linux live boot it shut down the device and did not open?

[shrewd mango]

No one replies there

[oak pier]

You waited less than a minute

[plucky thorn]

that's so cool dude

[plush grotto]

Depending on the issue and how stupid it can be I'm fine if people ask in others, but at the same time support is there for a reason

[plucky thorn]

hell yeah let's go SpaceX

[oak pier]

it also doesn’t help that they provided zero context for the issue

it’s the equivalent of saying “it’s broken, fix it”

[plucky thorn]

tbh you'll probably get more help in an actual Linux support chat/forum

[plush grotto]

Hey I have a problem, fix it for me.

[oak pier]

Alcohol.

[plush grotto]

The problem "tummy ache"

[oak pier]

As i said, Alcohol.

[plush grotto]

But I'm at work

Can't drink while at work.

[oak pier]

Did i stutter?

[plucky thorn]

Where there's a will, there's a way

[jaunty compass]

We are so back

[vapid smelt]

Sell it on eBay for $300

[jaunty compass]

No

[plush grotto]

Sell it for 299

[vapid smelt]

Sell it to me for $66.60

[frigid frost]

Jonathan Host or Jonathan Hosting or smth like that would be a banger probation employee name

Or Jonathan im Hosting here

[hot loom]

Man, I’m honestly way more comfortable having spent 1600 on a water cooled 3080ti back in 2022. Basically performs like a 5070

[frigid frost]

(and no im not making fun of him)

[gilded quest]

Rahhhhhh (mine is scheduled for delivery on Wednesday)

[winged spire]

Sell it to me for 20 cents

Jk don’t want one

Does it have adaptive triggers

[gilded quest]

Naw

[winged spire]

Yeah no thanks

[hot loom]

It looks interesting, but I honestly just love my PlayStation controller

[winged spire]

Adaptive triggers are the peak

[winged spire]

Yeah dualsense is easily the best controller

Only thing it’s missing is Hall effect sticks but

[hot loom]

For me it just feels good in my hands, I’d say it’s equally good as an Xbox controller. Used to use one but mine got broken because a car crashed into the side of my house

@pliant karma bossman asked if i had a screwdriver so i gave him my ltt driver.
Little did i know he was trying to pry a door open and broke the fuckin thing

i get a new driver now ig

[pliant karma]

[restive lion]

(it was only 2 weeks old)

[harsh quartz]

Why would he ask for a screwdriver specifically for that?

[restive lion]

the door had a bolt that was locked in position because the crash bar was broken

real shitty venue

[restive lion]

unrelated but the people scheduling fifa broadcast are morons

im supposed to start today and heard absolutely nothing from anyone until the guy that i guess is my boss reached out and asked where i was

why does the contact us button open to [e-mail]

[hollow token]

Do games have to implement for adaptive triggers

[gilded quest]

Uhhhhhhh

I want to say PS5 ports to steam do support all dualsense features natively?

Hmmm I take that back I really don't know

[fossil frost]

thats a concious choice on the part of the developer of the compatibility layer

whoever built the engine will have a PS5 SDK layer that can be swapped out for a windows/directx layer, or an xbox layer, or a switch layer

or whatever layer they decide

the game will just call controller->rumble(parameters for strength and length); and that will be translated to whatever platform it runs on

[winged spire]

Most atleast

[fossil frost]

if the engine is written, and used properly, it should be automatic

[winged spire]

Death stranding and horizon zero dawn are substantially better with adaptive triggers

[winged spire]

All first party and some 3rd then I guess

[pliant karma]

Oh fifa, lol I haven't kept up with that.

[winged spire]

Sometimes the triggers only worked plugged in which is weird

Can’t do Bluetooth

[fossil frost]

ive seen that with a LOT of BT controllers.. they just dont support rumble.. not sure why. its part of the HID+ over bluetooth communication, there should be no reason they cant do it, but they just dont

btw, new perk from my current electricity provider, they have teamed up with a public charger company, and i can use their 150kw chargers when out and about. instead of 82p/kwh, i can use them for 41p/kwh

still more than 4x the cost of doing it at home, but. 150kw charger if im running low on a long journey, for still quite cheap for a full charge, isnt bad

[gilded quest]

HZD really?
I played with mouse and keyboard

[winged spire]

LOVE it for weapons

[gilded quest]

I never even thought to connect a dualsense

[winged spire]

Especially like a bow and arrow

Makes every shot way more satisfying

[gilded quest]

I tried my Xbox controller for 5 minutes and I couldn't aim for shit

[winged spire]

You can “feel” it draw back and all the tension releases when you fire

[gilded quest]

I mean that would be nice

[winged spire]

Does take some practice

If you aren’t use to controllers
