[rough socket]

That's a tesla screen no?

[winged spire]

Yep

[rough socket]

And you are there because there is a starship launch?

[winged spire]

Yeah

[rough socket]

Aren't they giga spamming launches lol?

[winged spire]

Falcon 9 launches nearly 1 per day but starship hasn’t launched in like 8 months 💀

[rough socket]

1 per day is insane

[winged spire]

This is the first version 3 launch too, pretty much a completely brand new rocket

[restive lion]

meanwhile me using a fucking wooden fork to save the environment

[winged spire]

Yep, billions of plastic utensils are worse for the environment than the global space industry

[rough socket]

What about metal forks

[winged spire]

Metal forks are nice

Haven’t been to starbase in over a year now, glad to be back

[rough socket]

Are there people not using metal forks?

[winged spire]

The new pad is rotated compared to old one so I’m worried about finding a decent angle to watch the launch

My usual spot’s view is blocked by the tower I think

[wide ginkgo]

You are absolutely wrong, the image shows there are multiple (s) SSD inside microcenter

[hardy pilot]

I can’t tell if this sarcasm or not

[hollow token]

Starship launches are fun because it scares the shit out of people

[rough socket]

It's probably not

[thorn swallow]

Hi :)

Apollo sounds ?

Sounds of a Saturn V launch? Or what

[broken umbra]

Hi

[north escarp]

https://youtu.be/wchql2Tb4s8?si=ENXmXLxhEHQ7g6Mu

It was a combination of Nasa audio files (from apollo 1-7)with a second synth portion but still if I was floating through space and heard any of these sounds its a nopee

[random jolt]

which one is more representative of irl? I'd go with that but the last 2 'looks' better

[winged spire]

1/1600 and iso200 it is then

thanks

[harsh quartz]

2nd row for sure. First row looks like they’re almost transparent

Colors are better on first tho

[random jolt]

curious if you are going for photos of the launch or the stack, settings for launch would be a good bit different

[wide ginkgo]

Really but not really, yes there is a DRAM, and yes that shortage is artificial and company use that to hike the prices

[mystic tundra]

look at mc's bundles they're the best on the market

[wide ginkgo]

As suggested by there are planty of SSD in Stock, and in store yet the price increased 3 fold compare to few months ago

[mystic tundra]

apparent stock, the supply is being squeezed by dram makers and datacenters

[wide ginkgo]

I bet the SSD was produced last year before dram makers and datacenters, so Microcenter got those items before the increse

[mystic tundra]

would you also sell something for less than it's worth?

[wide ginkgo]

yet they sell at inflated price eventhough they did not get the SSD from the menifecture at the inflated price at that time

[hot tartan]

And?

No company is going to be a good guy and sell it to you for less than the current going rate

[wide ginkgo]

Are you suggesting they are using the rule of supply and demand to maximize profit???

[mystic tundra]

yes

i suggest that your troll is almost good enough for a ragebait

[wide ginkgo]

6/7 ragebait would do again

But I am upset that the goods I want has gone up in price

Yes I understand how capitalism works but I am paying more money for same goods

[winged spire]

There’s no metallic tiles this time

What is that orange

[uneven stirrup]

There’s a lot of issues that still need to get fixed still, but they are getting there

Pretty cool that it was a success

[plush grotto]

im guessing its metals in the tiles themselves

or the ship itself melting under the tiles and seeping trough the gaps

[winged spire]

Payload deployment was successful?

There is none

[plush grotto]

i think so yea

[winged spire]

The tiles are ceramic, almost entirely silica

[uneven stirrup]

Wonder what else needs fixing

[plush grotto]

could be the adhesieve or ship itself

[winged spire]

Was payload deployment successful?

[uneven stirrup]

Heat shielding and weird engine issues like loosing an engine…

[plush grotto]

i belive so.

[winged spire]

Then it’s already more capable than almost every rocket ever

[plush grotto]

the pez did its thing atelast

[winged spire]

This was spaceX’s heaviest payload to date

[winged spire]

How many simlinks deployed

[plush grotto]

unsure, atleast 2 of them were modified starlink minis

[winged spire]

I believe there should have been like 12 simlinks onboard making this the heaviest single payload spaceX has ever done

[plush grotto]

20 dummy and 2 modified mini

[winged spire]

They’re all modified Starlink minis but the last 2 were actually equipped with hardware

Yeah

[plush grotto]

2 were gen 3 hardware the rest are dummy satelites

For the Ship, SpaceX will perform a payload deployment demo and a Raptor relight demo. The payload will once again be a set of dummy satellites, but instead of eight, SpaceX has loaded 20 for this mission, and added two modified Starlinks as well, for a total of 22 satellites. The final two to be deployed will be modified to test planned Starlink Version 3 hardware and attempt to scan Ship 39’s heat shield before reentry.

[winged spire]

The simlinks are 2,000kg each

[orchid nacelle]

i watched it awhile ago. what's your bet on when 1gbit is available?

[winged spire]

2027

[orchid nacelle]

yea i was gonna say about ~year

there seems to be some apparent black magic going on. i'm a career network guy. i know what end to end latency and sla is like under ideal vs non ideal conditions

i'm also convinced musk is caching a big part of the internet in space

[winged spire]

SpaceX controls virtually the entire market

[orchid nacelle]

i can get sub 40 ms latency in games which...is worse than 5ms but...seems too low for the hops and distance

i built out sprintlink/nextel, uswwest/qwest, early days of fios, etc

but space is a new thing for me 😄

[winged spire]

They need to start looking into data transfer THROUGH the constellation, instead of downlinking to the nearest ground station, then going through traditional internet

A signal going to a starlink satellite, then passed around the planet via the laser links and back to the ground will be Lower latency than fiber optic / undersea cables

[orchid nacelle]

basically it's own transit as

fairly sure that was being done to some extent

also they haven't dyson sphere'd the planet yet

[winged spire]

It’s just about global coverage now

[orchid nacelle]

i dont mean in a global sense i mean physically, the grid is slowly descending southward

[restive lion]

No that's elons next masterful gambit

[winged spire]

Most of the unsupported countries are a legal issue not a coverage issue

[restive lion]

Instead of harvesting the power of the sun, prevent anyone from escaping

[orchid nacelle]

so in areas less dense you'd get various areas you could source from, i'm in rural az and i bounce between pohoenix la and dallas. south of the equator that spread is different

[orchid nacelle]

there are people that have surmised the same...

[winged spire]

Can they open the goddamn beach

[orchid nacelle]

you all are poking a rabbit hole lol

[winged spire]

Those people are wrong

SpaceX could abandon every single Starlink satellite tomorrow and they’d all come down naturally in <2 years

[orchid nacelle]

wouldn't that be a blast

'sorry your policy doesn't cover raining space debris crushing your femur'

[winged spire]

Starlink’s burn up completely

[orchid nacelle]

although statistically more likely to burn up or land in ocean

yeah...but i'd be that guy lol

[winged spire]

One of many design considerations for a constellation this big

[orchid nacelle]

good point, neve rmake a single unit big enough

[winged spire]

Nasa dropped a jettisoned ISS battery bank on some dudes house

Few years ago

[orchid nacelle]

BUT...i have a sneaking suspicion that the full capabilities of the version 3 is BEYOND the reported capabilities to the fcc or whatever gov agency gives approval

[winged spire]

Apparently there’s just straight up 0 legal repercussions

[restive lion]

That'd be a funny phone call to insurance

[orchid nacelle]

well if you cant sue they better cover damages

[winged spire]

There’s absolutely no legal requirement for the organization to cover it

[orchid nacelle]

so we're all fodder for the advance of the space race eh?

[winged spire]

Advance of poorly engineered space race

Burning up is just another design consideration you have to engineer for

[orchid nacelle]

did you ever play eve online? the lore is interesting and i always felt plausible

[winged spire]

Starlink V3s are significantly larger and thus spaceX is looking into recovering them for recycling

[orchid nacelle]

FTL travel was possible between gates BUT humans had to GET to that point initially through traditional means. it was a lifetime+ mission. once there, it bridged the gap instantly. i can see something like that being possible if we mastered more things about our cosmos

[winged spire]

Precision deorbit into the ocean and some form of recovery post splash down

[orchid nacelle]

what would they recycle, basicaly the chassis and just link up more comm gear?

[winged spire]

We are finally moving 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Batteries, structure, solar panels

[orchid nacelle]

What do you think about the theoretical rods of god weapon? and would the proposed effect actually be like dramatized?

[oak pier]

It’s fucking stupid

[orchid nacelle]

tungsten spears, almost no electronics, no propellant. the issue is weight and getting it up there, buty lets say IF you did.

[winged spire]

We have ICBMs that can drop 2 dozen individually targeted nukes onto anywhere on. The planet in 30 minutes

[oak pier]

you’d require more power in fuel to get them to space than they would ever create from falling

[orchid nacelle]

yea but that scratches a diff itch

[orchid nacelle]

yea that is the pesky issue lol

[plush grotto]

i dont think the destruction imaged would be reality

[winged spire]

You could put nukes in space I guess

[orchid nacelle]

yea i was thinking the GI joe movie 😄

well , this would have no fallout

[oak pier]

it’s inherent to falling rods

[winged spire]

That way you’d be like… 3 minutes from nuking anywhere on earth

[oak pier]

Nukes already have very little fallout when used in an airburst

[plush grotto]

it is kinda scary to think about the fact there may be multiple satelites with nuclear weapons onboard

[orchid nacelle]

lol i wasnt trying to open a can of worms, just thinking of how more and more people are taking things to space. if it gest cheaper and more efficient, could we start to see things we had previously ruled out...

[winged spire]

Honored to breath in the mystery spaceX fumes

[oak pier]

There is no way to make the rods of god make sense

[orchid nacelle]

as a securitiy guy, i always think in the brain of the bad guy

[plush grotto]

welcome to gat way to mars

[oak pier]

it inherently requires more power in fuel to get it up there than you would get from dropping them

[orchid nacelle]

you're still worrying about a problem that maybe somebody has/will solve. i'm more concerned with the effect if dropped

[oak pier]

It’s like throwing a ball in the air vs just spiking it into the ground

[orchid nacelle]

it liquified all of london in the movie

[oak pier]

It isn’t a problem that can be solved, it’s inherent to how physics work

[orchid nacelle]

and i know hollywood is hollywood BUT has anybody really game theoryed it with precision

[oak pier]

Even in a perfect environment with zero losses, the energy from the fuel would be exactly equal to the energy of the impact

[orchid nacelle]

i know how physics work, i'm simply saying somebody may solve an efficiency or delivery problem that rules out that layer of impossibility

im not talking hand wavium

[oak pier]

You can’t, that’s what you don’t seem to understand

There is no advancement to be made, in even a perfect world, it doesn’t work

[orchid nacelle]

i guarantee you that everything we do now, can do now, etc was 'impossible' to the brighest scientists of the world centuries ago

[plush grotto]

i imagine a small nuclear weapon on a satelite, a basic heatshielded canister with a mini nuke in it

[orchid nacelle]

someday, some how, through some mechanism, something so rudimentary will not a barrier for us

[oak pier]

My brother in christ, what don’t you understand about potential energy?

You have to add that potential energy somehow, you can’t just get it from nothing

[orchid nacelle]

you think i'm talking about something magical, i'm saying people are always disocvering new things and discovering that we dont know what we thought about things. you cant keep yourself in a box

[oak pier]

You are talking about something magical

[orchid nacelle]

i know that..maybe it can be distributed quietly, cheaply over years, etc

[oak pier]

That doesn’t actually solve the problem though, it’s still an unnecessary inefficiency for the sake of the “cool factor”

[orchid nacelle]

i am not saying that some energy goes into bringing it up. im sayign the WAY of doing that may not be as impractical someday as it is now

[plush grotto]

i kinda got lost, is it abou dropping something from a satelite stil or something else?

[oak pier]

It’s the big ass tungsten rod dropped from space thing

[winged spire]

Yep

[orchid nacelle]

its supposed the shape and that there is no terminal velocity

[plush grotto]

ahh yes call of duty ghost

[orchid nacelle]

and gi joe lol

i dont remember which one was first

[plush grotto]

i imagine a piston type launcher on a satelite like that.

instead of a drop its a push

you need some sort of energy to lower the orbit into a reentry

[orchid nacelle]

i think the pitch is, the accumulated kinetic energy with this design and ultimate effect was somehow worth not just doing a normal bomb or missile. again....not trying to say the movies are real but it's been something people talked about

i think the dude tested a single one and it took out london

sdo that part does sound far fetched

[plush grotto]

i guess you kinda can say the speed of the satelite has some energy stored, but the reentry will burn so much of that speed up

[orchid nacelle]

here's what i was thinking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOKf5r_JMAo it def made an impact on me heh

[plush grotto]

you would loose about 83% of the energy stored on impact

so at orbit the projectile has a stored potential of 309 GJ and at impact the potential has been reduced to 52 GJ

[orchid nacelle]

did they give the weight of the rod?

[plush grotto]

9000 kilos

[orchid nacelle]

that weird ripple effect of the land was interesting. why did they put that in

even a nuke dropped down wouldnt do that

so, it kinda implied liquifaction

[plush grotto]

its potential lost from drag during reentry that removes the impact energy

[orchid nacelle]

i never crunched any nu7mbers simply took the face value of somehow the object 'being in space' which i get is a big hand wavium but the concept always was intriguing

i think the shape was meant to reduce that influence

[plush grotto]

i used gemeni, told it "lets say i have a setelite in space with one of these rods, and its not dropping it its pushing it to lower the orbit of said projectile, how much of the energy stored in the speed of the satelite is lost during reentry of the projectile"

first i gave it context about what rods of god was

[orchid nacelle]

you are right, that clip did show it being ejected, so there was some additional force too

so you think the ground ripple is over playing the hand

[plush grotto]

BUT the weight of the satelite has to be more than the rod itself to make sure the rod is pushed and not the satelite

that means the base satelite would be a minimum of 9001KG based on rod weight of 9000KG

[orchid nacelle]

maybe...it could be built in space, but then we're now in an era with space manufacturing which again. plausible, but introduces yet new variables, we would have to have something somehow near us with minable reasources. so these are all fictious but plausible changes to our reality

if there was an asteroid to be mined you can bet the companies on earth would be fighyting to control it

[plush grotto]

Even though it loses the vast majority of its orbital energy, that remaining 17% ($52\text{ GJ}$) is still a terrifying amount of power. It's equivalent to detonating about 12 tons of TNT instantly inside a single, concentrated point on the ground, which is why it works so well as a bunker buster.

[orchid nacelle]

BELTA LOADAH

[orchid nacelle]

which def wouldn't cause that effect of the movie

[orchid nacelle]

this all started because i said i feel that there are capabilities i feel are being hidden on the gen3 satellites 😄 not THIS but...maybe something still offensive

[orchid nacelle]

thanks for raining on my parade!

[plush grotto]

If Cobra actually launched one of those rods at London in real life, the result would look less like an atomic bomb and more like a massive, terrifyingly precise meteorite strike.

[orchid nacelle]

yea and they would also scream 'Cobra Kai' while they did it

[plush grotto]

To actually wipe out a city the size of London using pure kinetic energy, you would either need a projectile the size of an entire mountain, or you would have to accelerate that 9-ton rod to a significant fraction of the speed of light—something a simple satellite orbit cannot do.

[orchid nacelle]

so accelerators in space with enough power to do such a thing AND also with enough power to keep said object in orbit

now we're coming up on 3 body problem type physics

that's that thing they make? a phoson or something? blast a proton with like a bazillion lasers the size of a star

effin terrifying

[plush grotto]

impact roguhtly equates to 1/3 of the Hiroshima bomb

It is illegal in most places.

Wait, nvm.

After taking a look it depends on how you achieve a mirror finish.

[alpine gale]

Closing VI/M without using a search engine? We don't do that here. We just pull power from the machine.

[winged spire]

Also had some bean soup or whatever, that was really good

[opal thunder]

Mirror polished cars are not explicitly illegal in Colorado, so it is kinda a grey area. (Some states it depends if chrome wrap or polished finish.)
An excessively reflective finish could still be considered unsafe and lead to a ticket depending on how reflective it is and the officer’s discretion if you get pulled over for being a hazard to other drivers though.

[chilly egret]

I know the logo so twas a guess 🤣

[winged spire]

This isn’t Colorado 🤷

[opal thunder]

Bro must've driven over from another state then.

[winged spire]

The real answer is it shouldn’t be legal anywhere

[winged spire]

Yep.

[opal thunder]

It really shouldn't need an officers opinion on the matter.

This is dangerous to other drivers.

The one i saw a while back wasn't car grade paint, it was in a normal paint bottle but someone spent the money to paint a car and when you drove in daylight or had a light shine on it at night, it looked like a void lol

[winged spire]

Imagine getting into a police chase and you just change your entire car’s color

GTA shit right there

Making your car 100x more prone to get into an accident at night lol

[winged spire]

That’s another thing bro

What insurance company is insuring cars that are mirror polished

That seems like a bad financial decision

Maybe he’s driving around without insurance lol

[split swift]

I dont even understand the point of a polish finish car

Having the shiny clean look is fine but having everything reflecting like a mirror is stupid

[orchid nacelle]

it looks fake because it sucks up the normal even subtle lighyting we're used to, but there is a newer one more than vanta now

hello packmates i need some help

is there a channel i can send images in

tech support needed i didnt know where to go

[stark wharf]

sorry im on the spectrum

[plucky thorn]

What's that mean?

[stark wharf]

autism (i don't actually have that)

[toxic needle]

why say you do then o.o

[frigid frost]

Reminds me of the my son isnt on the spectrum comedy vid (spectrum of visible light)

[last minnow]

hello guys

[plucky thorn]

What's that?

[small chasm]

hi

[dense barn]

Hi

[hollow token]

HI

[rancid basin]

do u guys think i should factory reset my computer if windows is corrupted or is there another way to fix it

[rough socket]

Yeah reinstall

[rancid basin]

will that fix thermal throttling as well?

[rough socket]

No

[rancid basin]

what should i do to fix that

[rough socket]

I guess find why it throttles, like what's the cooling, pc case etc

[rancid basin]

im on a laptop and theres an x on my battery and nothing ive tried has fixed it so idek if its charger or the battery itself

this all happened after getting a monitor so maybe thats the issue

[winged wharf]

hi

[twin raft]

Laptops in general run hotter than desktop PCs, giving it a good dust off will help

[twin raft]

I don't think getting a monitor would cause your battery to fuck up/charging to not work

Those 2 things have like no correlation

[rancid basin]

alr thank u

[twin raft]

Yeah no problem

[modest plover]

Can Anyone help me with Remote Desktop?
I made a thread

[dense barn]

Can i see a pics of it

[plush jungle]

Chat what’s a solid gaming laptop I’m not using my desktop much these days think I’m ready to go portable was looking at Lenovo legion pro

[last bone]

Hey everyone

[blissful lily]

Question for everyone, if you were to receive an offer from steam to try out an unknown indie game for 2 hours for free (similar genre/tags to games you already have in your library/wishlist), would you do it? (Assuming you had time to spare)

[last bone]

Probably not just due to there are way too many scams out there on steam

[plush jungle]

Steam just asked me to play 007

And tell them how good it is

[blissful lily]

I see, so your worry is the authenticity of the game/if it's actually malware?

[blissful lily]

Like...for free?

[fossil frost]

i doubt it

steam have official play testers

they dont reach out to the general public

[last bone]

Yes

[winged spire]

It’s not even their game

Why would they be giving random play testers copies of it

This is actually insane lmao 😂

NOT what it’s supposed to do to be clear

[twin raft]

It's either a scam or you're lying

Steam wouldn't ask you but the Devs of the game would, you'd get a free game key if you were a popular player tester or some popular YouTuber

They need something out of giving the game free to someone, usually that being publicity

[hollow token]

Steam deck

[echo path]

That is a solid option

[harsh quartz]

honestly sick

[gentle pelican]

hi

[hollow token]

I think im gonna look for a higher res monitor finally

I've been on 1080p forever

[hollow scroll]

Crazy how many tech youtubers have pivoted towards cars now

[oak pier]

Full send, go 4k OLED

[oak pier]

Tech been kinda boring for a bit now

it's basically just more clockspeed, more l3 cache, sometimes more cores

[harsh quartz]

also cars are mostly tech now

[oak pier]

That too

[harsh quartz]

and both hobbies are very similar

[hollow scroll]

Watching Salem techspurts advertise it is always crazy

[oak pier]

There's a good bit of overlap in the interest groups as well

[hollow scroll]

True true

[harsh quartz]

spend too much money. need to work on it far too often. break shit.

[hollow scroll]

Like Luke miani is putting more into his middle lane channel which I'm glad cause it's so entertaining

[oak pier]

At some point i wanna add a shitload of sound deadening to my car to quiet it up

[harsh quartz]

if i ever get a brand new car i might invest in aftermarket stuff for it. but as long as im driving used cars, im not gonna worry about it

[small chasm]

i just upgraded from my amd radeon hd 7570m to the msi 1660 gamingx super
less gooo

[oak pier]

I'm driving a 2019 ford fusion titanium edition, so it's worth it to upgrade imo

I don't really care about performance, but rather comfort

Adding sound deadening is also fairly cheap and pretty easy to do

[harsh quartz]

im in a 2016 rav4 thats getting rather close to 200k miles, i feel like the second i put money into it itll break

[oak pier]

Yeah fair enough

My car is just shy of 50k miles

[harsh quartz]

dang, you just not drive a lot or?

[oak pier]

My commute isn't very long

So i drive a lot, but lots of short distance stints

I also got it two years ago, and the previous owner apparently really didn't drive it

[harsh quartz]

yeah, that sounds about right

i picked this one up around 2021 and it already had like 115k on it

and my commute is only like 30 miles a day but i drive a fair amount extra too

[oak pier]

My commute to school is about 3mi, and my commute to work is about 11

[hollow token]

I may
If I could find a like 180hz oled 4k
Best buy seems to have some

Ill sell my current monitor on Fb marketplace

[winged spire]

Hmmmmm

[hollow token]

Best buy open box come in clutch 🙏

[winged spire]

What

<@&750150305383186585>

[rough socket]

Maybe you know but you need dp2.1 to get 180Hz in 4k without DSC

[hollow token]

Good note. I have it already for my 1080p 240hz va monitor

[gilded rain]

why im dumb..

[rough socket]

Yeah not all 4k oled monitors have it and you also need the gpu to have it

Some don't care about DSC, but I think it's good to at least know about it

[brave juniper]

guys I got a question

so with my budget I can either go with an RTX 5080 with a 300Hz ASUS TUF 2K monitor
OR
RTX 5070Ti OC with an ASUS ROGASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDNG 27” QD-OLED 2K QHD 360Hz 0.03ms

Which one do I go with? I'm really on the fence here

[graceful matrix]

2

[brave juniper]

Are you 100% sure?

[graceful matrix]

Idk how much diff 5080 has to 5070ti

[brave juniper]

the 5080 is $445 more expensive

in my country

[graceful matrix]

And performance?

[brave juniper]

vram wise, both are 16GB, but cuda cores, bandwidth and other shi are different

The only thing that is making me hesitae is the rumor that OLED monitors die quickly, is that true? the last thing I want is spending $1K on a monitor for it to die 2 years later

[echo path]

Well now with pixel shifting and whatnot they last much longer, but still not as durable or long-lasting as normal monitors

[brave juniper]

like will it survive 8+ years? I'm a AAA games guy, and I do some blender stuff

[echo path]

Nah, 8+ years isn't realistic, especially if you do blender (lot's of static images and whatnot)

Maybe 5 years

Gaming does help tho

[brave juniper]

Like, not a mad level, some cars modeling (hard surface modeling)

[echo path]

Well it depends on how many hours you spend a day modeling

[brave juniper]

~4-6

[echo path]

Yeah, it most likely won't last more than 5 years

Tbh mini-led and some fast ips monitors are GREAT

[brave juniper]

So, I guess I'm going with the 5080 + 300HZ 2K monitor

fast IPS one

[echo path]

That's good ig, how much is the monitor?

5080 can also handle 4k btw

[brave juniper]

380 bucks

[echo path]

That's good

You might want to look into larger 4k monitors, but 2k is also perfectly fine

With the logic being that the 5080 is a card meant for smooth 4k

but yeah, that sounds good

[brave juniper]

I may go for a 4K monitor after a few months, but I can't actually go with a 5080 + 4K at the same time

like, I'll wait ~1 year before going with a 4K one

[somber pewter]

can vouch for miniled

if thats what you are going after

nvm you going with fast ips

[brave juniper]

do I go with this one?
Samsung Odyssey G7 Smart Tizen (BG702) 32" RGB Flat Monitor IPS 4K UHD 144Hz 1ms(GTG), 10Bit, HDR10+, 90% DCI Coverage, HDMI 2.1, G-Sync Compatible w/ Ergonomic Stand & Speakers

[rough stratus]

hi

[echo path]

It's nice except the smart tizen part

[hollow token]

I got a 1440p ips

Downgrade in refresh rate but the picture quality is better

[fickle wren]

@brave juniper if you don't use super bright settings for your displays there are some good vibrant OLED 1440p 240hz displays going for around $300-350

[spice sand]

goober

[rain cipher]

I’d rather have better looking frames than faster frames anyway

[hollow token]

Yeah its not even a shameful downgrade

240hz to 180

[rustic tundra]

i plan on downgrading from 480 to 120

well i already downgraded

[hollow token]

Thats a fair change. You won't notice a big change

[cosmic lava]

I unistalled reddit tik tok
they are very weird apps

[rustic tundra]

the 480 was an oled, the 120 is an ips

worth 👍

120 is plenty anyway

[hollow token]

Anything above 120 is diminishing returns

[oak pier]

anything above <insert any value> is diminishing returns

[rough socket]

Truest words I've seen

[hollow token]

Apparently this monitor has built in speakers

[alpine gale]

Can confirm. This is why <anyone> should just not <do anything> at <any time>.

[rough socket]

I really need to try one of those super high refresh rate monitor, that's the only thing I've never tried besides super niche stuff like 32:9 57" or whatever

[hollow token]

if you have anything above 120 you're not missing much

[oak pier]

Idk man, 240hz is damn nice

[hollow token]

I'm barely noticing a difference on my 180

[oak pier]

also there is no singular line where diminishing returns starts, it’s a standard logarithmic scale

Well yeah, the difference between 120 and 180 is small

[hollow token]

I had a 240

[oak pier]

The relative difference between 60 and 120 is the same as 120 and 240, but the absolute difference is halved

[hollow token]

I do agree, the recognition a human eye catches refresh rates is logarithmic

[oak pier]

Not even remotely what i was referring to lol

[hollow token]

said here

[oak pier]

that’s just how fps works, the per frame timing is 1/fps

Has nothing to do with how the eye perceives it

[hollow token]

30hz->90hz is huge to the human eye. 180hz->240hz is meh.

[oak pier]

Again, has nothing to do with the human eye’s perception, and everything to do with the absolute difference

[hollow token]

Logicallly you're correct. Physically, I don't care if my eye can't even catch it

[oak pier]

a difference in 22ms and 1 ms is indeed a pretty big difference

[rough socket]

(That doesn't make it exactly logarithmic but yeah)

[hollow token]

The fastest reaction time is 101 milliseconds. I think I and everyone else is ok

[rough socket]

Reaction time has nothing to do with that

[hollow token]

It has everything to do with that

[rough socket]

He is speaking about frametime, 101ms of frametime is 10fps

[oak pier]

Just because it takes you 101ms to respond to something, doesn’t mean you won’t notice something faster

[hollow token]

that logically makes zero sense. That means quicker frames means less frametime, and we can't recognize that

[oak pier]

So you’re saying that we can’t see anything over 10fps?

[hollow token]

I'm saying xenio has incorrect logic, and we can

[oak pier]

Reaction time isn’t really related to the max perceived FPS

[rough socket]

Yeah well he was talking about frametime not reaction time

100ms of frametime does make 10fps

It's not because both are measured in ms that you can compare them

[winged spire]

going through some of my photos, the shitty chinesium battery I used died after taking this photo lmao so I didnt get much of anything

it also immediately went into a cloud so that didnt help either

[rough socket]

That's some big pixels right there

[harsh quartz]

mmmmm yes higher frame rate is only for competition

[hollow token]

Its not that. Its that eventually you physically cant tell the difference

[rustic tundra]

i felt motion sick at 480

240 was cool but who the hell is fully utilising that at 4k

[harsh quartz]

and thats at 101ms?

[hollow token]

Fastest person's reflexes per Google

[fossil frost]

F1 drivers have some of the fastest reaction times in the world for reacting to real world stimuli, and they average between 150-200ms for the top drivers... anything faster than 100ms reaction from the start lights is considered a false start

[rustic tundra]

i tend to average 250-300ms

[fossil frost]

clicking a button, reacting to a screen, about 60cm from you, not a blurry light, up to a quarter of a mile away from you, pressing a long actuator to start a car moving... an F1 driver would absolutely crush any "gamer" for reaction times

[harsh quartz]

im still just trying to figure out how reaction time factors into enjoying a higher frame rate monitor

[harsh quartz]

inb4 redbull pilot

[fossil frost]

they are using it to justify their purchasing decisions

[harsh quartz]

no theyre doing the opposite. saying that higher framerates are useless cause "you can only react so fast"

even in noncompetative games

[fossil frost]

they bought a certain monitor, instead of a certain other monitor, and are justifying it with "its pointless for everyone".. rather than what should be getting said which is "i didnt feel like i needed it, or that it was right for me"

[oak pier]

has nothing to do with the refresh rate being that high

[rustic tundra]

how come i havent felt motion sick at 240

[oak pier]

No clue mate

But a higher refresh rate doesn’t cause motion sickness

[harsh quartz]

all i know is curved > flat

[twin raft]

I think this applies to a lot of things in life, not just monitors

[harsh quartz]

such as?

[twin raft]

Can't say it here

[harsh quartz]

then dont mention it :)

[rustic tundra]

car body

[twin raft]

Yes

[rustic tundra]

curved is usually better than flat and boxy

[twin raft]

Yes

Boxy = drag

Drag = terrible everything except braking power

[rough socket]

It does not

[oak pier]

that was kinda the whole argument

[twin raft]

Higher refresh rate, it appears smoother, I have an overall visually more comfortable and smoother experience

Me happy

[oak pier]

pretty much

[hollow token]

Reaction time is wholly linked to refresh rate?

[sand star]

goddamn it M$. how the derp are you legally allowd to change my default browser without asking me.. Haven't seen this happen for years

[hollow token]

If the monitor refreshes faster than you can recognize, you are above the threshold of the specification

[harsh quartz]

i dont think you understand how reaction time works

its the time between see and click, not see frame then see next frame

[hollow token]

😂

[floral lotus]

there is a video with shroud that can help with this

maybe

[winged spire]

Many such cases

[harsh quartz]

yeah, i swear theyre arguing over a different dumb thing they dont understand every time i join

[snow pine]

[floral lotus]

just go drink some Mate

[harsh quartz]

ive gone through 3 waterbottles today

plenty of drink

[floral lotus]

not enough, u need 3 termos of mate

[snow pine]

mate is a drink?

[harsh quartz]

wtf is mate?

[floral lotus]

argentinian drink

like tea

[harsh quartz]

oh i had no idea this was pronounced that way

or i guess that it was spelled this way?

yeah i know what it is. Although id prefer to just go make tea

[snow pine]

Arizona iced tea is so popular now

[harsh quartz]

i dont understand how. its not good

[calm swan]

it’s cheap

[floral lotus]

ingredients?

[calm swan]

99¢ for a 22oz can

[floral lotus]

idk either, my inglish is not good xd

[harsh quartz]

i might have to try to find mate. Last time i tried a unique tea it was just cinnamon and i hated it

[winged spire]

its pernounced mah-tay I think

[harsh quartz]

it is, ive just never seen it spelled, especially without the yerba in front

[winged spire]

are there non yerba mates

apparently no

thats just the name of the plant

Yall ever see that tea guy on youtube

[snow pine]

yeah it tastes mad good

[winged spire]

white guy that speaks mandarin

hes cool

I dont really care about tea but I like his stuff

[floral lotus]

Mate is the drink version and if u want the tea version u can try Mate cocido

[winged spire]

can I still drink it out of a gourd

[harsh quartz]

why do you wanna drink something out of a vegetable

[floral lotus]

"Gourd"? gonna google it

[winged spire]

the cup they use

for yerba mate

[formal garden]

Does anyone have a hbada e3 pro chair? i have assembly questions

[harsh quartz]

these grow.... hanging?

[floral lotus]

the original Mates where served on little empty

[minor elm]

Hows life yall

[floral lotus]

that thing

[minor elm]

Doesnt it come with a manual

[formal garden]

it did but i think the manual is crazy the manual is really bad

its like 7 steps with images not detailed then switches to next language

[floral lotus]

idk sometimes we drink it from pink grapefuit

[minor elm]

Lol

[minor elm]

Mabye go to the website

[floral lotus]

any yt tutorial?

[minor elm]

Sometimes they leave a bigger manual there

Thats atleast here

[formal garden]

i checked yt i got the whole chair assemebled i think the footrest part got me going grazy they give you this long metal slide bar but i think the bar isnt long enough so idk if im crazy or not

Like the bar is short a few inches to where the footrest cannot hide under the chair

[minor elm]

Same

I fell in that trap lol, bought a chair with footrest, issue is im so tall its not possible, and the chair was too small for me and hurt

[minor elm]

Oh wow thats crazy lmao

[formal garden]

Well the chair is fine for me just the bar i think is too short

[minor elm]

For me the footrest was just to short, like lowk should have gotten myself a full on recliner instead

[minor elm]

I see thats good

I got a new chair thats decent, but i wished for more comfort

I have seen like there was this decently cheap chair for 200 ish that was like a sofa basicly

Looked nest but idk

[formal garden]

i mean this was like 400$+

[minor elm]

O

[floral lotus]

why i cant share an image, im in pain for what just happened

[alpine gale]

A role, you must have. #welcome

[harsh quartz]

eww he talks like grogu

[winged spire]

grogu can talk?

[floral lotus]

i said minutes ago i don speak well :(

[harsh quartz]

idk eventually

[floral lotus]

he can

[harsh quartz]

no no not you

[alpine gale]

If you share photos showing how you have the chair and this footrest thingy setup, we may be able to assist. I'm on the website right now and see the footrest should stow under the chair...

[winged spire]

I never seen the show lol hes the baby yoda right?

[harsh quartz]

yeah i was trying to make a joke about how now its not yoda now its grogu

but i also havent cared about a star wars character since K2S0

[winged spire]

Ive seen the first 2

and like parts of others

startrek is better anyway

[harsh quartz]

the first trilogy is... fine, it doesnt hold up that well IMO, but i get why people like it. rest are shit, except rogue one is weirdly good, and the show that came from it, andor

star trek shows are better. The movies are always a miss

[winged spire]

Ive been watching some starwars media in the form of youtube shorts

theyre in prison

[formal garden]

So the foot rest is supposed to rotate counter clockwise but the bar is extended fully

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/andor-star-wars-shut-up-die-gif-11121185965883448694

[floral lotus]

i messed up

[harsh quartz]

probably andor, i thnk they wind up in a white prison in that show

[winged spire]

im glad Hollywood realized that the people posting clips of their movies are really just great advertising for them

[winged spire]

yeah that one

[winged spire]

thought this was really shitty weed for a second

[harsh quartz]

yeah that show is cool, its tied in with the rogue one movie which is very different than the other movies

[harsh quartz]

i thought it was catnip

[alpine gale]

Ah, yep. You get what you pay for. And to clarify, this isn't about the price - it's about the manufacturer. 😉

[minor elm]

Hungergames refrence

[formal garden]

i mean 400$+ shouldnt be bad quality i woulda thought

[minor elm]

Katniss

[winged spire]

catnip everkeen

[harsh quartz]

katnip everweed

[formal garden]

if it was 200$ i might have been like ok sure

[minor elm]

Catnip is what gale calls Katniss

[minor elm]

Lol

[harsh quartz]

why would anyone remember this

[winged spire]

I just put my feet up on the a support bar for my table

[alpine gale]

Price != quality. As someone who worked at an office supply store for 5 years, I've seen all kinds of strange things from cheap southeast asian chair factories. We're talking stuff like cushions missing an entire line of stitching fresh from the factory, or a multi-pallet shipment of chairs that all included 2x left arms in the box.

Sheer incompetence knows no price.

[minor elm]

Cuz its peak 😌

[formal garden]

What do you define as cheap?

[alpine gale]

Cheaply made, not cheaply priced. You can sell a $60,000 car that's junk because of a known manufacturing defect (cough cough looking at you, Toyota / Scion and your FRS/86 engines with defective valve springs.)

[formal garden]

thats like the cost of an arm

[winged spire]

One of my friends bought a rifle from a certain budget gun manufacturer and they literally forgot to rifle the barrel lmao

accidential smoothbore

[minor elm]

And ive read the books

[harsh quartz]

wait who is considered a budget gun manufacturer?

[formal garden]

it dont feel cheap quality

[winged spire]

PSA

palmetto state armory

[harsh quartz]

huh, guess i dont know rifle brands, im just used to handgun brands

[winged spire]

not the pokemon card grader

[harsh quartz]

not the public service announcement company?

[minor elm]

Guys i have a tech question, can the ps5 work on multiple screens

Or mabye this was the wrong channel

[harsh quartz]

...does it have multiple outputs?

[minor elm]

Uhh dont think so

Ig its not possible

[harsh quartz]

can probably split it to mirror the display but not much else if i had to guess

[minor elm]

It would be nice gaming and watching someone elses shared screen (though ps5 party) on a seperate monitor

[harsh quartz]

thats what discord is for

[winged spire]

they got the M107A1 on memorial day sale

[harsh quartz]

doesnt discord have a PS5 integration?

[winged spire]

yeah

[minor elm]

It does

[harsh quartz]

"see price in cart" what kinda bs

[minor elm]

But its wonkey

[winged spire]

I dont yhink you can see streams though

can you?

[minor elm]

There was a big dealbreaker like that that made it unviable

[winged spire]

yknow id buy 3 but tungsten grey isnt my color, gimme an electric blue anti material rifle

[harsh quartz]

i mean, its actually a fair discount i guess

[winged spire]

they still charge shipping

and its 1000% not 20$ to ship that

[harsh quartz]

wait does PSA actually make guns or just sell?

[winged spire]

both

wanna get this guy, made by them

[harsh quartz]

their handguns have some good sales on, but realistically the sale prices are just the normal price of these guns to begin with

[minor elm]

Looks like jhon whick gun

[winged spire]

they have sales all the time

[harsh quartz]

ah yes, a 500$ rifle. I trust this wholeheartedly.

[winged spire]

not like 24/7 but atleast one per month

[winged spire]

the biggest thing youre going to have issues with is just reliabilty, not really safety

atleast with PSA,

Jamming and stuff from bad QC

[harsh quartz]

yeah but their base prices are higher so their sales prices are just the normal price. I found my handgun on here and its the same price i paid after the sale

[winged spire]

also technically its a pistol not a rifle but thats just the Fed's stupid definition

[floral lotus]

so we talking about guns now

[harsh quartz]

kinda. Not deeply.

[harsh quartz]

sir. no.

[winged spire]

yeah thats legally a pistol lol

[harsh quartz]

yeah yeah, ik, but, ya know

suuuuure

i shot an AR recently, fun to shoot, not fun to stand beside

[winged spire]

lol

[harsh quartz]

tbf there were 2 rifles on either side of me while i was firing a handgun in a small indoor range and i was kinda overstimulated

[winged spire]

did you haave any ear pro?

[harsh quartz]

my guy id be deaf if not

even with the ear prot though, its a lot to have 2 rifles popping off on either side of you on an indoor range

[winged spire]

yeah true

I go to an ourdoor range

[harsh quartz]

we dont have any close, only one within like 2 hour drive is indoor

[winged spire]

they need to figure out how to air condition an outdoor range 😂

[harsh quartz]

https://bigassfans.com/

[winged spire]

that is a big ass fan

[floral lotus]

cute name xd

[harsh quartz]

as close as were getting

[winged spire]

https://bigassfans.com/evaporative-coolers/

[harsh quartz]

i mean, you get what you see on the tin

[winged spire]

these dont work here though

cant evaporate stuff when its already 100% humidity lol

[harsh quartz]

its already so humid here, adding more does not help

[harsh quartz]

i love the idea of forgetting the wheel locks, turning it on, and it just leaves

[winged spire]

lol

[harsh quartz]

i actually just got safety prescription glasses last week. I should go to the range soon to test them

[floral lotus]

cool

is there a role for being a yt supporter?

[silver sun]

844

[floral lotus]

good

[harsh quartz]

doubt it. Might have some interaction with floatplane role but i doubt it

[floral lotus]

then i might cancel the subscription...

[harsh quartz]

i mean, is the yt sub cheaper than floatplane?

[winged spire]

I would imagine they prefer you to use floatplane anyway

[floral lotus]

im sure they do but i dont wanna create another account on another platform xd

[harsh quartz]

youtube takes a cut, payment processor takes a cut, they probably get a lot less than the actual sub cost on YT

[winged spire]

yeah but you should forfeit all mortal posessions to linuscorp

[minor elm]

Do yall ever just like

I got the stuff i need to game but now i dont got the time to game wth

Feeling scammed by myself lol

[floral lotus]

u just need to wait until u retire

[harsh quartz]

yeah, just be rich

[minor elm]

Yeah like in idk 60- years from now

[harsh quartz]

im kinda lost on what to play right now. We beat the subnautica 2 EA last night and idk what to play

[floral lotus]

if we even get there :c

[minor elm]

Persona 5

[floral lotus]

stardew valley my man

[harsh quartz]

stardew has never interested me. Id rather just play minecraft

[minor elm]

Stardew ive heard is like heroin

[winged spire]

yeah subnautica 2 is really solid

[minor elm]

Mgs refrence

[winged spire]

no weapons is still insane and a bad decision but still a good game

[harsh quartz]

subnautica 2 as of right now is a 9/10 IMO

[floral lotus]

i got into that game for a person and now i play it by myself :/

[minor elm]

Oof

[floral lotus]

i cant stop playing it either way, goated game

[minor elm]

Damn, thats tough

I need to finish persona 3 reload for the life of me

[floral lotus]

im married, it was a coworker

[harsh quartz]

idk if we got lucky, but honestly this didnt come up for us like at all. Yeah in some places the bulletfish were annoying but that was it, just a minor annoyance

also we somehow missed the clam

[winged spire]

the great jaw? that thing actually scared the fuck out of me

[minor elm]

Fire! Wait was the coworker the one you married or played sdw for

[floral lotus]

u can make water from a snail but cant kill other things? is that a thing?

[floral lotus]

played with the coworker

[floral lotus]

subnautica 2

[winged spire]

water from a nail ?

oh

[floral lotus]

snail xd

my bad cuu

[minor elm]

Real, my girl has played sdw and wanna put me on it, its just a matter of time when were done with cyberpunk

[winged spire]

yeah the devs are refusing to add any weapons of any kind to the game

LITERALLY The first thing you make in the first one is a knife

[harsh quartz]

yeah, never came across it. the ||shiver leviathan|| actually jumpscared the fuck outta me tho, cause the shooty mangos pushed my seamoth out past the EA border by like a meter and he was just immediatly there

[floral lotus]

remember to do separate bank accounts, making money can be hard

[winged spire]

Those mf will kill you INSTANTLY

its such a troll

[harsh quartz]

and theyre on you Immediatly

[minor elm]

Subnautica seems like a tough chore but i havent played it so idk

[winged spire]

"explore at your own risk"" not telling you they teleport in an immortal instakill god

[minor elm]

In sdw? Ok ill keep it in mind

[harsh quartz]

subnautica 1, i can see that, subnautica 2 much less so

[minor elm]

It seems like raft in a way

[harsh quartz]

the music cues are goated though

[winged spire]

yeah

[minor elm]

I was so hyped to play raft with my bestie until we both got bored

We played it like twice

[winged spire]

I scanned the shiver and collector

I think ive scanned everything you are able to

[harsh quartz]

exploring the shelf in the second area at night when suddenly you hear the music start to ramp up is horrifying

[floral lotus]

i dont see the fun on being in the dark 3000 feet below water, its scary

[harsh quartz]

....you can scan the shiver?

[winged spire]

with L O T S of attempts yes

also

[harsh quartz]

yeah, it took me and a buddy 2 attempts to get the collector, i didnt even think about the shiver

[winged spire]

Im like 90% sure if you let the shiver grab you just as you cross back into the world border, it glitches out and you get unlimited oxygen until you relog

I kept having that happen and Im pretty sure thats what caused it

[harsh quartz]

theres a bunch of these infinite oxygen bugs, i found like 3 the other night by accident, and theyve already patched a couple out. Dying in almost any way would give infinite oxygen it seems

[plucky thorn]

What does a tech tip smell like?

[harsh quartz]

[winged spire]

[harsh quartz]

[floral lotus]

it hurts

[winged spire]

shocked how well a hotdog laser engraves

[harsh quartz]

while me and a buddy were playing, a 3rd random friend joined that had never played but didnt get into the discord call. We put him on the outside of a seamoth and drove him straight to a collector as a sacrifice. apparently he woke up his household....

[floral lotus]

now i want a laser machine

[mystic tundra]

ngl i’d appreciate if they updated 1 or release 2 at a later date so people don’t have poor experience with the lack of content

[winged spire]

the cylinder must remain unharmed

[harsh quartz]

whats the cylinder OP

[floral lotus]

New monitor is f'ing up my second monitor in a brand new way
anytime I click out my second monitor seizes and rearranges the windows I have set up

If I have something in full screen

[floral lotus]

driver related issue?

[hollow token]

I updated that

[floral lotus]

idk i just have 1 monitor :c

[hollow token]

yeah. It looks like a rare problem for many online, they just run windowed fullscreen to fix. oh well

[echo path]

Interesting

windows will be windows 🤷‍♂️

I got HDR now so it's worth

[crystal flare]

my favorite game franchises are a tie between the Legend of Zelda and Pokémon franchises.

https://giphy.com/gifs/link-tloz-master-sword-BWKiS6J12UezXCg7De

[harsh quartz]

i like pokemon but IMO it does not stand up as a "great game franchise" in the modern day. Whereas zeldas have almost always been great, era defining games

[hollow token]

Pokemon games are fine but you only need to play one mainline game imo

[strange elk]

..lol what

Eh I guess so

[split swift]

The past like decade is just the same copy paste game for Pokémon

Its barely changed

[hollow token]

Winds and waves looks like a banger

I've always felt like spinoffs were always more fun than the mainline game

[winged spire]

Locking up all the tide now

They aren’t locking up the tide evo tiles which are the best laundry detergents 🤔

[dusky scaffold]

Anyone here know which channel I should ask in for TV related stuff (I'm trying to find someone who owns the TCL 98C7K to send me a photo of the panel number on the back of the TV/in the service menu)

[dusky scaffold]

They don't taste as good

[winged spire]

Yeah harder to eat

The evo tiles are like basically detergent spun into cotton candy

[alpine gale]

You'd likely have better luck reaching out to people who already have the TV.

[vapid smelt]

You trying to scam TCL with a fake rma?

[dusky scaffold]

No I'm trying to figure out if theres a digital signage version of it with the bloat stripped out lol

I was intending to try to flash the digital signage version of the firmware but I have since discovered that you can literally enable ADB in the settings menu

So I'll probably just put it in hotel mode either through ADB or the UART interface on the mainboard

And just block it from accessing the internet

Then grab a ~$150 apple TV and use that

[alpine gale]

I would caution against this. Most Android devices made in the last 5-10 years have integrity checks during boot, not just for a manufacturer's signature, but also to ensure the "correct" firmware for the model / product number is trying to boot up. Flashing the wrong firmware could result in the device becoming bricked if there's no [consumer / public facing] recovery procedure.

Supposedly with TCLs you can just decline the EULA and it becomes a dumb tv

Is there any suggestions for where I can sell my Nvidia 4090? I got the wrong card for my desired setup and I want to be sure I'll get a good amount back? I'm sorry if that's not a question for this server but I just want advice

[merry gull]

ebay or jawa

[sudden quarry]

Ok

Ty

[merry gull]

is it outside of the return window?

[sudden quarry]

Yeah

I also got it refurbished on newegg

So it's not "brand new" but definitely works just want a 5090

I was attempting a PCIe lane split but realized I am not able to get the full bandwidth with that setup and sure maybe it doesn't matter but like

Idk

I want to make my host card AMD and then just use Nvidia on a VM

(I'm a Linux nerd but wanna do some experimenting and gaming)

Rookie mistake

[merry gull]

I need to make my MDM more restrictive

Anyone have Starlink Residential?

[frigid frost]

Wait i watched it and saw no problem, maybe they wanted to upload it on a different day or asus had something against something, because it was odd that it came out 1 hour after an other viseo

[frigid frost]

Actually it can, like I had a 100% off of your first month for any membership under 20€

[merry gull]

because i can

[harsh quartz]

so that helps for... 1 month

which he is clearly already past
