Mainly looking for a windows iso not drivers cause I’m getting issues with the drivers I’m finding

[dreamy veldt]

no shit, in here lol

[oak pier]

I'm sure at least a couple people do

[echo path]

Alright, I'll see if I can find the official acer iso for it

[junior otter]

Hello.

[echo path]

Well Acer's website is shitting out on me rn

[hollow token]

I have spectrum

[frigid frost]

Jup, it was suppost to release a day later

[flat pivot]

aaa got it, thx I see they just relesed it today

[sly patio]

I'd like to switch careers to IT, and have been looking for a long time with little to no success. Despite building my own stuff, getting hands on, and going to school, i've been looking for nearly a year and a half and have had a total of 1 in person interview, and 1 email asking me to complete a video interview where i never heard anything further back. i've tried everything i can think of to get myself in front of people, including having someone who is an HR professional review my resume/expereince so i can maybe beat the ATS. is anyone else experiencing this level of indifference when seeking an IT job?

[hollow token]

all things computer adjacent is experiencing shrinkage due to AI and the realities of overhiring during covid

I got a bachelor's in computer science in '23 that I've yet to use

The Twitter NSFW Bots are on a new level 💀

There’s so fucking many in the past month

I’ve gotten more in the past month than the rest of the year combined

[reef silo]

How

[winged spire]

Lotta fucking losers on the internet I guess lol

I cannot imagine falling for these, it’s incredibly pathetic

[wary bay]

this happens on every platform of social media

good news about CS2? All I needed was HDR to make it look 100x better
bad news about CS2? My 3070ti is COOKING

https://tenor.com/view/you-dont-mean-that-sad-gif-14406298

[rough socket]

What happened?

[hollow token]

also I think I know why my monitors fucking up
I think because monitor one is HDR, my GPU is making HDR an active task, and since monitor two is SDR, it's left passive. When I click out it'll have to switch priorities and thus screwing up the ways I have the windows open. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

[rough socket]

I don't see this, I work as a devops and I never had this much career opportunities

[rough socket]

Nah it should work fine, what's the monitor?

Software development, indeed and the USA is already filtering a lot of stuff

I'm getting directly contacted by recruiters 2-3 times per week on LinkedIn

[hollow token]

You're the anomaly then, per modern trends

[rough socket]

Idk, I think people are making a mountain of nothing

During covid they were recruiting bakers and kitchen chief to do stuff

They just stopped doing that so yeah the numbers will go down

[hollow token]

big if true

[rough socket]

I literally saw old bakers that recoverted to IT because it paid well and people were recruiting anyone

During covid

And yeah, it didn't work, people were garbage, covid hype went down, so indeed there is less job

But for people that aren't freaking random bakers and chief there is the same amount of jobs there were before covid, even more

BTW I'm saying baker because i'm french and being a baker is a random job but I guess it would be cashier in the US

[bleak niche]

hi

[twin raft]

What is wrong with YouTube. They're SUPPOSEDLY cutting down on ai slop and nsfw/inappropriate ads

I've just got such a bad ad, it's actually borderline corn

They ain't doing a good job

[fickle wren]

Targeted ads btw lol

[rough socket]

What would be a good price for a used but brand new 24" 1440p 60Hz?

[hollow token]

$140?

[fickle wren]

Like standard nothing special? Prob $70-100

Also what's used but brand new

[alpine gale]

Impossible to say without knowing the exact make and model of monitor and what "used but brand new" means in this context. It might be worth $5 it might be worth $500.

[dull hill]

hi, I was thinking of mounting a fish tank case to my wall, but Idk witch case to get? Im trying to find a white on, any good recomendations?

[alpine gale]

Before you even buy a case, verify your walls have wooden studs in them and devise a mounting mechanism. There's nothing worse than spending thousands on a computer and the time to wall hang it, only to come home from work one day to disaster. Gravity does not care.

[dull hill]

I made sure that its safe, the wall art wooden (I live in an apartmant building), but Im thinking of firstly puting shelf legs on the case then placeing it on the wall, Im just having turble finding a fish tank case that hase good air flow with out the back (moust cases put the psu in the back, witch woldint realy work form me sinc the back wold be on the wall)

[fossil frost]

having fallen victim to gravity and its inability to give any fucks at all... i can confirm this 😄

also. guess who was out on the bike for 4 hours today, and forgot that it was a very very sunny day

@winged spire https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8YWSotedR5M?feature=share so when are you going to gut your phone to make it pink?

[winged spire]

not bad lol

[gusty leaf]

scratch that, even though it's prime shipped it still runs on 100V AC

[raven locust]

hi gng

[gusty leaf]

hi

[vapid smelt]

and for under $2 you can make it fully waterproof again with apples own parts

wait we need a battery press to fix the iphone 17 pro?

[celest tangle]

Thermaltake has a lot of interesting colors for their cases

[alpine gale]

Yes, if you don't press the battery into the phone with the Apple™ Proprietary™ BattPress9000™ the battery will simply explode the second time you attempt to charge it. /s

[celest tangle]

[cerulean canopy]

you need one of these, one apple sells is simply too weak

[potent steeple]

hi

[winged spire]

It’s helpful

This stuff is exactly the difference between a diy and professional repair

Even consistent pressure over the whole screen/seal

[gusty leaf]

you could get pressure other ways besides that

[winged spire]

Yep

[gusty leaf]

stacking a dozen books on top would likely yield similar results

[winged spire]

Definitely want to be stacking a dozen books on every phone I open

[gusty leaf]

I fail to see the issue here

[winged spire]

When I was doing phone repair full time i even designed and printed some trays for Samsungs and whatnot obviously Apple ain’t making em lol

[vapid smelt]

i didnt know you hated your self enough to do phone repairs full time

[winged spire]

Yeah not anymore 💀

[vapid smelt]

glass sandwiches with paper thin connectors is just hell

[winged spire]

The phone repair part of phone repair is the best part

The customers are stupid and evil

[vapid smelt]

i aint paying you $80 to replace my battery so im taking my phone back after you done the work people?

[winged spire]

This dude came in with the whole family and then threatened violence when we said we couldn’t fix it

[nocturne bluff]

where can I ask about whether a prebuilt is good value?

[hollow token]

put $5k of savings in 401k company match
wait for company to match $5k
pull $5k out, taxed of course
wait till reaccumulate $5k, repeat

Does this work?

[vapid smelt]

are those the real sapphire glass lenses?

[winged spire]

Maybe

[plucky thorn]

I'm tired of tech tips. I want the whole tech shaft

[vapid smelt]

put the prebuilt parts into pcpartpicker and if the cost is within $300 of diy its good value

[winged spire]

No

[nocturne bluff]

thanks

does pcpartpickers have CAD dollar values?

[hollow token]

What prevents this?

[winged spire]

Most of the time you can’t pull out of a 401k while employed

[hollow token]

Fuck

[nocturne bluff]

ah it seems it does, thanks

[vapid smelt]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/ use the fake country version

[winged spire]

There’s also usually vesting stuff but that’s less common

[alpine gale]

Retirement savings funds are meant for drumroll retirement...

[winged spire]

You’d also be clearing like nothing

You put in 5k and get like 7 out

Less then that

You pay normal income tax plus an early removal percent

[plucky thorn]

Canada is cloning Linus so they never run out of tech tips

[vapid smelt]

isnt retirement something only people born before 1950s can get? when we turn 65-70 we still have to work right?

[plucky thorn]

Nah anyone can retire

[winged spire]

Both my parents are at 65 and both work 😂

[plucky thorn]

You get social security at like 65

[hollow token]

My dad retired at 70

[plucky thorn]

But tbh if you're young, or any age. Open a Roth IRA now. Or a 401k

[hollow token]

Oh well. There's my hope for free money squandered

[vapid smelt]

yeah let me just do a reverse mortgage on the home i own and have the huge supply of people born after me pay for my social security benefits

[plucky thorn]

It's easy to save for retirement if you just contribute every payday and never touch it. Let it grow

[hollow token]

I heard banks give you free money if you show them your coolest firearm

[plucky thorn]

Why would you need to do a reverse mortgage lol???

[vapid smelt]

for extra money duh

but i dont have house so i cant

[plucky thorn]

Nah bro just open a Roth IRA

Invest in the S&P Growth.

[hollow token]

Buy bitcoin

[plucky thorn]

Trust me I'm a financial advisor

[plucky thorn]

Nah that's a scam

And too volatile

[alpine gale]

Well, you see, the things you are recommending are impossible for many of us to do. Legally, at least.

[vapid smelt]

social security is a scam

my money doesnt go into a large pot for me it pays the boomers that pulled up the ladder 🙁

[plucky thorn]

It's illegal for you to invest in the stock market lol? How?

[alpine gale]

Last I checked, you need to be a US citizen to open a 401K or Roth IRA...

[plucky thorn]

There will be equivalents in most modern first world countries loo

[hollow token]

If you put your $100,000 into a 3 month CD you'll return $1,000

So I recommend that

[winged spire]

RRSP

401k and traditional IRAs are equivalent to a RRSP

TFSA are like a Roth IRA

[alpine gale]

Yee, TFSA is where it's at for Canucks.

[winged spire]

Yall don’t even got an income limit on TFSA????

Crazy

[alpine gale]

Oh we do. There's a yearly contribution limit on both RRSP's and TFSA's.

[vapid smelt]

my boss parents had to do it because they cant afford health and dental care

[winged spire]

You can’t get a Roth IRA if you make too much in the US

[alpine gale]

Back in 2024 I just decided to put my life saving's into Intel stock.

[winged spire]

Like you can’t contribute anything iirc

[hollow token]

[winged spire]

Nah

[stoic beacon]

Geez... Testing out apps on other devices again, Pixels really still don't have a meaningful competitor to Samsung Modes/Routines or iPhone Shortcuts... It's been 10 generations at this point.

[winged spire]

I don’t think that’s going to be actually 40w

[oak pier]

Excuse me, 40W?

[winged spire]

Maybe .4w

[oak pier]

Yeah no

.4w would be being optimistic

[vapid smelt]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/317715839756?_trksid=p4375194.c102726.m162918

[oak pier]

350ma battery for a 40w laser, yeah right

[winged spire]

Most laser pointers are what, 4mW ? lol

What even 😭

[oak pier]

99.99% of lasers sold are 5mW

[hardy pilot]

Spray painting/ emp is that person’s friend, trust me (this person needs to have absolutely zero electronic on them if they choose the emp path)

[winged spire]

You CAN easily get powerful enough lasers on eBay though

[oak pier]

Beam quality will vary wildly though

Speaking from personal experience, you often times get really shitty beams

so even if it's a 5w laser, your effective range is gonna be bad

[vapid smelt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/lasers/comments/1nlgmd9/picked_up_one_of_those_40w_ir_cannons_that_have/

[oak pier]

I feel now is a great time to mention anything above 5mW can be hazardous

40W is like boil your retinas level of scary

[winged spire]

The 5mW number just is that you can theoretically blink fast enough to prevent damage

[oak pier]

Anything above .5W is enough to get you the max eye injury hazard on teh scale

[oak pier]

Theoretically, but that's also gonna depend on wavelength

if it's IR, or UV, you won't even know to blink

[winged spire]

And person

[winged spire]

Nah

[harsh quartz]

Not sure what the context is but I saw this the other day https://youtube.com/shorts/qV3VVhSeopY?si=L5qaQ4w85_02k6jb

[winged spire]

I don’t think that’s true

[oak pier]

Well you'll see the non IR/UV light, but it'll be far less noticeable than the actual light output

If you go too far into the UV or IR spectrum, you can get laser diodes with near 0 visible light output

[vapid smelt]

dont worry this hypothetical person got od7+ thorlabs glasses

[oak pier]

So the only way you'd know to blink, is the burning pain in your eyeballs

[winged spire]

Are you familiar with styropyro

[harsh quartz]

Heard the name, not sure I’ve ever seen him

[winged spire]

Unedited real beam

Lmao

[harsh quartz]

Huh

I love how it immediatly became his pfp

[oak pier]

Mind you, you can get lasers an order of magnitude more powerful on ebay

[alpine gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKT5NC7MAu4

[winged spire]

That’s pretty misleading

[harsh quartz]

The thing I posted from nilered he said he just bought online :p

[winged spire]

You can get pulse lasers that push 15,000,000w for like 2 nanoseconds

But you aren’t getting a continuous beam anywhere near that video on eBay

[oak pier]

I was referring to the 100-300w continuous function fiber lasers you can find on ebay

No idea how that's legal to sell on ebay

[winged spire]

He also has a laser bazooka

[oak pier]

You know the meme about people having personal FBI agents? It ain't a meme for him

[winged spire]

He hooked 400 car batteries up in parallel and caused a Z pinch

Which might be the most insane thing I’ve ever seen on YouTube

[oak pier]

I've seen it, the amount of times that man has made me pause the video and go "What the...." is incredible

[winged spire]

The newest one?

[oak pier]

Every damn video

[winged spire]

He’s made a couple going up in the number of car batteries each time lol

[oak pier]

Iirc it was like 50, then 100, then 400

The fact he found a sponsor to buy him 300 more batteries is crazy

Now i need him to do an update with a better power switch so we can see the full amperage of it

Did you see the video another guy posted about a proposal for a better power switch?

[grave lynx]

hi!

[oak pier]

Hiya

[grave lynx]

I just scored a 9070xt for 599

feelsgood

[winged spire]

He created a current so high that it created its own magnetic field, which squeezed the plasma togehter

[oak pier]

The first part isn't that impressive, the second part is mind boggling

[winged spire]

Literally nuclear fusion

[oak pier]

Like scale it up just a bit higher and that is literally how we are creating nuclear fusion
damn you beat me

[winged spire]

He accidentally crested the highest temperature point in the planet

For a YouTube video lol 😂

[oak pier]

Youtube is 100% just a happy bonus for him

[winged spire]

That’s literally how the sun works (with gravity instead)

[oak pier]

He'd do the dumb shit he is regardless, youtube just lets him monetize it

[winged spire]

shocked they let him ngl

[oak pier]

He does a good job of conveying just how strongly he discourages copying him

[winged spire]

He also does a good job at conveying more or less how to do it

And especially the discord lol

[oak pier]

Good thing most people don't have the monetary means to pull it off

[winged spire]

Most of it is not expensive

Few 100

[oak pier]

Yeah, especially for his laser experiments

100-200usd on ebay and you have terrifying laser diodes in your mailbox

[winged spire]

I was going to get some a while ago

[oak pier]

I've limited myself to 50mW

[winged spire]

I couldn’t figure out how to buy off this Chinese site, literally the only reason I didn’t buy

Completely illegal btw 😂

5mW is the limit for import

[vapid smelt]

um what

[winged spire]

Repel dogs burn cockroaches

Which uh,,, yeah you’ll be burning your floor too

Not just the cockroach

The ideal tool for repelling dogs is pepper spray

Bear spray or smth

Don’t even gotta hit them directly, with their smell they’ll run before it even gets on them

If any Chinese homies wanna forward 3 of these to me ill pay you 🙏🙏😭

"Laser Obstacle Clearing Device"

[vapid smelt]

god damn its 1.3k for the first model he used

[wary summit]

gah damn 260w?

[oak pier]

pulsed operation

[wary summit]

so theoretically i could burn a hole through the moon if the focal point was there

[oak pier]

Emphasis on focal point, not focal tunnel

Also the issue with burning through large amounts of matter is the smoke and particulates get in the way of the beam

[wary summit]

can the particulates be beamed away if the power output was high enough

[oak pier]

Yeah, but then you just produced more gasses that will impede the beam

[wary summit]

or is there a point where there’s not enough mass to absorb the energy

[oak pier]

more power then turns those gasses to plasma

Lasers just aren’t that amazing at cutting through thick material

[wary summit]

but with time, power we could theoretically

cut the moon in half

or just get the USA to send its nukes

[oak pier]

On a large enough time scale, you could cut the moon in half with a laser

[wary summit]

yippe

[vapid smelt]

and thats why Linus's ass is safe

[oak pier]

The same way i could dig a hole to china with enough metal spoons and immortality

[oak pier]

I said thick, not thicccc

I find it hilarious how his dump truck actually proves problematic for the LTT clothing designers

I’m sure it’s hyperbole, but still funny to me

but you’d have to be in china first to get immorality from the journey to the west

[oak pier]

There goes my weekend plans

[sharp leaf]

My mobo will sometimes show the number 15 (assume it’s voltage) and PC won’t start up. It does this randomly. Why does it do this all the time? Is there anything I can do to stop it from doing it?

Sometimes ir will change to 40 or higher and my PC will start back up. Sometimes I get impatient and restart the PC and it restarts fine.

[oak pier]

15 isn’t the voltage

check the manual to see what the code means

[wary summit]

also whats the difference between Core XY laser cutters and the ones that like have a stable laser head

what’s the second ones called

[oak pier]

Curious, has Linus addressed them switching back to 16:9 for video production yet? Tried looking it up and haven't seen anything, not really complaining, it's just I was used to the wider aspect the past few years and was surprised that the latest videos fit my 16:9 monitor lol

[pallid falcon]

Isnt 16:9 normal?

[umbral osprey]

It is normal, it's just linus videos in the past where much wider aspect ratio

They'd usually discuss something they change like that on the wan show or something, could be testing too and not a permanent thing yet

Love that

[hardy pilot]

fucking hell, why are people so dumb

[crystal flare]

i swear to crap if they start another pandemic and i end up stuck in my house again i'm gonna be mad.

[winged spire]

If Ebola turns into a pandemic you will have M U C H bigger issues bro 💀

Like what 💀

Bro worrying about not touching grass

[gilded quest]

Grow some indoor grass

[crystal flare]

i like to go shopping okay?

[winged spire]

Ebola kills too quickly to be much of a pandemic risk

Yeah definitely about your shopping

[crystal flare]

i have thought about buying some indoor plants.

[hardy pilot]

still not a good thing to go around and expose other people to it qwq

[gilded quest]

Also isn't airborne

[harsh quartz]

For the airborne all it takes is a mutation, but it kills too fast to mutate that well

[summer folio]

So, it's like MonkeyPox then

I remember everyone saying Covid19 isn't airborn

[oak pier]

I mean strictly speaking, it’s not, but it’s very easily carried by particulates in the air

[winged spire]

Big controversy

Now it’s generally considered airborne

WHO refused to use the word airborne for years

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/global-health-groups-propose-new-terminology-pathogens-spread-through-air

New shower head installed

Definitely gonna be a big upgrade over my landlord special previous one

[rough socket]

Big shower heads are soooo comfy

[silver sun]

846

[harsh quartz]

It’s technically a difference between aerosol and droplets but in reality it doesn’t make much of a difference to a layman, it’s airborne

[dusky jacinth]

I remember the report about when a hermit, living out in the mountains and fields, somehow got it and I was just like "soooo it can go airbourne then".*

[mystic tundra]

is it metal or painted plastic?

[winged spire]

Metal

[dusky jacinth]

'Cause like... He was practically out in the middle of nowhere and somehow the disease reached him anyway from what I recall.

[mystic tundra]

are internals metal as well?

[dusky jacinth]

Oh hey, that looks like the one my parents upgraded their bathroom shower to.

[mystic tundra]

i have my experience with off the shelve shower heads not holding well after 2-3 years if they're mechanical and plastic internally at the same time

stuff just breaks inside

our water pressure isn't even that strong

[gilded quest]

The biggest upgrade I made to mine was removing the landlord's stupid ass low flow filter

[brittle storm]

Yow

[plush jungle]

What’s a decent gaming laptop

[calm swan]

legion pro 7i

[fossil frost]

10kw instead of 7.5kw. shitty pressure here anyway, so the extra 2.5kw heats water faster, letting me have a shower at a nice temp while still having decent pressure

Though now I wish I had gone for the top 11kw model. Just because

[gilded quest]

I am so confused

[fossil frost]

Electric shower. UK uses electric showers

[winged spire]

????

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-what-the-fuck-the-fuck-is-this-wth-gif-17571836

[fossil frost]

Ah, I forgot we had good electricity here... We can use it to heat stuff up super fast

[winged spire]

are your showers not on a dedicated circuit?

[gilded quest]

My shower uses no electricity

It's just connected to water

[winged spire]

same, but my point is the voltage is irrelevent

[fossil frost]

Usually 40amp RCBO yes.

[winged spire]

so... we can do as much power

[gilded quest]

I think I have a gas water heater

[winged spire]

mines electric

[gilded quest]

Or uhh, I really don't know

[fossil frost]

What is the mains current for your place?

[winged spire]

what

200A I guess

[gilded quest]

We have a furnace and they're right next to each other so I assumed both are gas, but the water tank may actually be electric

[fossil frost]

Most houses in the UK have a 80amp mains fuse. 100amp if you are in the right age of house. Or 120if you ask nicely. Mine is 100amp.

[winged spire]

so we have basically the same amount of power

[fossil frost]

200 makes sense. Same 24ish KW total

[winged spire]

100-150 if your house is like

old and shitty

200 is standard really now, upto like 400 if you got a big ass mcmansion

[gilded quest]

400A sounds so nice

[fossil frost]

If your house is super old, it's probably 60-80, depending on when you last had the distributor out to service the grid in your area. 100 if your house was built roughly between the 70s and 90s. 80 if between the 90s and late 00s. 60 if between the 00s and a few years ago. 100 again for new builds

[winged spire]

yeah I wish

[fossil frost]

It's a fucking pain. Because it followed when appliances were becoming more common, then more efficient, then house builders were cheeping out. And now because of EVs and at home solar, it's 100again

[vapid smelt]

These things?

[fossil frost]

Yeah

[stiff wasp]

Does the water get warm in the box?

[fossil frost]

Really small but really powerful heater coil in there

[fossil frost]

Cold water in, painful water out

[stiff wasp]

Why

[fossil frost]

Because my wife has really hot showers and I always forget to turn it back down

[stiff wasp]

Well

[vapid smelt]

We just get hot water straight from the water heater

[fossil frost]

Some places do have that. But it's more expensive to run those here than it is to run it from electric

[glacial field]

Hello

[quiet steeple]

hi

[glacial field]

Hru?

[austere ruin]

Hehehe if someone calls me ill hear the den den mushi

[winged spire]

Ferrari Luce looks great but not a fan of the blue

Gimme a dark blue /navy

I guess the wipers stay up the whole time

That is better for aero I guess

$640k 280mi range (take off 30% for real world) 1050hp

4,982lbs

2.4 0-60

And “self harm” doors apparently

[twin raft]

That's a Ferrari?

Damn Ferrari have really gone down hill

This is going to be another one of their models that struggle to sell, I remember some of their previous models in the last few years were struggling to sell

[winged spire]

Like 30 years ago yeah

[twin raft]

And Ferrari loves to talk about how they're a premium and exclusive car company with style

[winged spire]

Hopefully starting EVs will revitalize them

This looks promising minus the cost 😂

[twin raft]

When I think of Ferrari, Ev doesn't pop into my head I'm gonna be honest

[winged spire]

Ok 👍🏻

[twin raft]

The weight isn't promising

It's way too heavy

[winged spire]

It’s 1000hp

[twin raft]

5000lbs is ridiculous, it's a boat

[twin raft]

Yeah 1000hp but it weighs a lot

[winged spire]

👍🏻

[twin raft]

It's an EV right? Where does all the weight go

I don't understand how you can make an EV that heavy

You know Ferrari to me speaks sports cars, ragged edge of performance, loud noise and absolutely bonkers

[winged spire]

“Battery”

[twin raft]

This is more like a boat that someone who doesn't care about cars designed

[twin raft]

Still tho, it weighs that much?

[winged spire]

This isn’t even close to the heaviest

The Mercedes sedan EV is like 5500lbs

[twin raft]

Well yeah I know their suv models and stuff are heavy

But tbh they actually might be lighter

[twin raft]

The thing is, power doesn't matter when your car weighs that much

[winged spire]

It absolutely does

[twin raft]

I know it does ofc it does

More weight, you need more power

[winged spire]

Alright

[twin raft]

But it doesn't have that you know, classic Ferrari feel

It doesn't sound nor look sporty/race car ish

[winged spire]

The classic ferarri feel is a divorced middle aged white man buying this because women won’t talk to him

You don’t want that feel

Same with corvette frankly

[twin raft]

Well yeah that is the stereotype

But Ferrari made some banger cars, some true legends

[winged spire]

Been a long time

[twin raft]

Some cars which turned heads and were the definition of performance

[twin raft]

Yeah exactly

It's so sad

[winged spire]

Plenty of room In the EV world to make a legend

Concept one was fantastic until Richard Hammond totaled it and then caught on fire

Burned up the only one in existence 💔

[twin raft]

I just don't think modern cars can hold up to the status of the older cars, and the history of those cars, the stories behind them, the difference they made and how they shaped car culture afterwards

Well it is Hammond isn't it?

Why do they trust him with a car

[winged spire]

-2,000,000$

[twin raft]

He totaled so many, including that rimac

[twin raft]

It's priceless, if it's the only one in existence, it's price is way beyond that

[winged spire]

They COULD have just made another

[heavy barn]

Depends what you define as modern. Modern cars are late 90s till recent. If you mean 2020s. There have been some real good ones.

[winged spire]

they made concept two instead

[twin raft]

Some, but imo nothing compares to what cars were like form 1970s-1990s

And what those cars did

[twin raft]

Exclusivity innit

[heavy barn]

Eh depends. My first car was an 84. Thing was real fun. Mazda.

[winged spire]

no

they didnt sell them

they made one because its a concept

The rimac nevera or whatever is the production one

Nevera R aswell

looks incredible

[twin raft]

Just off the top of my head:

Audio quattro group b
Ferrari f40
Subaru 22b
Mitsubishi lancer Evo 6
Toyota supra MK3/4
Honda nsx R
Honda Integra R
Honda civic
Toyota chaser
Mercedes 190 Evo
That old v8 lotus I forgot the name of
BMW M2/3 gtr
And you can keep going

I'm sorry but cars after 2020 just simply don't compare to the (and I hate saying this word, I don't have brainrot) aura

[winged spire]

has mazda made that new rotary engine car yet

is it out

[heavy barn]

Plenty of legendary cars out there. I do like my vintage vehicles don't get me wrong. But there are still some good modern ones.

Less do have the cool factor though.

Id like a new station wagon lol

[winged spire]

vintage cars have so much headache

We switched to fuel injection for a reason

[twin raft]

I want them to

[winged spire]

50 years of innovation is a worth while choice

[heavy barn]

I disagree. My old carb engine never gave a single issue.

Actually my 84 Mazda was the most reliable vehicle I've had

Never gave a single issue

[hollow token]

This feels like Ferraris display of an attempt so that they never have to do it again

[twin raft]

Yeah there are some good ones, honourable mentions:

Acura nsx
Toyota GR supra
Ferrari 488 GTB
Ferrari pista
Lamborghini sesto elemento
Lamborghini urus
Bentley Continental GT
Toyota gr86
And etc but damn the 70s-90s were the beasts

[heavy barn]

Well thought out list. I completely agree.

Is a ae86 cooler than a gr86 yes. But the gr86 is still bad ass (example)

I have an Audi ATM. Things been pretty alright.

[twin raft]

We do get good cars today but just the sheer competition in the old times, from rally to GT series to everything in between gave us so many good cars

[twin raft]

I will also admit that modern cars are more convenient and comfier than a car from 1980

[heavy barn]

Tbh my 84 Mazda was very comfy. Different though.

Hard to compare.

If I lived in a drier area. I would still drive a carburated vehicle tbh.

Super reliable technology.

[twin raft]

1980s car racing scene: Full power, insane designs, engineers let to do whatever their cracked up minds could think of, bonkers vehicles with eargasmic sounds and legendary status

2020s car racing scene: noooo, safety, you can't do this, can't put this in, can't say that, can't make this

[twin raft]

There are some comfy cars for sure

[twin raft]

Exactly

[heavy barn]

Chevy Caprice classic for example. Those are pretty good I believe.

[twin raft]

Unfortunately french but some Peugeots just seem bomb proof

I abused my old Peugeot 107 a lot, was extremely simple car mind you with less than 100hp but it never died

And OFC SAAB

Saab made some amazing cars too

[heavy barn]

I wish there were simple cars still. They're quite charming. Yes! Saab was very good.

[twin raft]

Those were always complimented for being very safe and "bomb proof"

[heavy barn]

They made planes so they really knew how to put together a solid chassis

Driver seat dash looked like a fighter jet haha

[twin raft]

My current car is from 2014, it has a small screen but it's simple enough that everything is just buttons and none of that massive touchscreen that you see nowadays

[twin raft]

Yeah they were awesome

[heavy barn]

Yeah. Mine is a 12'. I do love it though.

[twin raft]

Yeah there were so many stories of horrific car accidents but the person that was in a saaab was almost unscathed

[heavy barn]

Volvo as well. The swedes know.

[twin raft]

I like mine too, it's comfortable, good mpg and simple enough

[twin raft]

They honestly do, Swedes are great with safety

[heavy barn]

Same here. I'm just happy to have a 6 speed stick. Makes me more comfortable. Not as common.

Took a bit to find here in Canada.

[twin raft]

Yeah my Peugeot was 5 speed but I have a 6 speed now too

[heavy barn]

Nice man.

[twin raft]

I'm in the UK, I'd buy something more offroady for Canada tho

[heavy barn]

Eh yeah I get ya. My Audi has AWD so thats enough for me.

[twin raft]

I have an Audi too lmao, but yeah that's what I meant just something that has AWD

Because I hear snow gets pretty bad there, so if it does snow I'd want to make sure my car can function and drive

[heavy barn]

Yes I get ya. It's so good in the snow man. Nothing like a tungsten diff.

[twin raft]

I'm a big Subaru fan, so I'd probably get that tbh

[heavy barn]

Eh I prefer Audi over Subaru. Just like the system more.

[twin raft]

And subarus/mitsubishis are basically the definition of an off-road/rally performance car

[twin raft]

I just love the sound

[heavy barn]

I get it

The awd is important to me tho. Both are solid systems.

[twin raft]

Awd for sure

[elfin jetty]

No more buying air cans

[rustic tundra]

mine is a 02, the only screen i got is the clock on the radio

[alpine gale]

Woooow. Idk why you even bought this, on sale, I presume. This product absolutely blows.

[elfin jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/kekwtf-gif-18599263

[elfin jetty]

It was on sale and it does blow, quite hard in fact

[alpine gale]

Yee I think this was the most powerful one Project Farm tested, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

[elfin jetty]

That one was a 90 dollar one. This one is their 40 dollar one on sale for 30. If the 90 dollar one blows even harder, that would just be insane

[alpine gale]

Oh I didn't know they had a lesser model. I didn't want to spend $110 CAD on the "good" one, but if they have a lesser model at the right CAD price I'd be tempted.

[elfin jetty]

30 dollar USD but yeh

Its pretty decent so far it seems

What kind of server things I can do with a 11800h and rtx 3070 with 24gbs of ram

[alpine gale]

NAS, Minecraft server, LinuxISO downloader, video encoder, Jellyfin media server, to name a few.

[hexed pulsar]

Is this decent enough hardware where I don’t have to worry

[alpine gale]

Worry... about...? When you're running your own server, there are always things to worry about.

[hexed pulsar]

It’s running slow

[quartz dew]

Hmm anyone got any recommendations on last gen earbuds

[hardy pilot]

Depends on the workload, that’s a low amount for a server and is that a laptop?

[alpine gale]

https://www.sony.ca/en/headphones/products/wf-c710n

[quartz dew]

Hmm I was looking at those, I do like a retro clear coloured plastic

I guess ill wait to find them on a good sale

[alpine gale]

Yee, that's why I went with the Blue colorway myself. As for the model of earbuds, I don't feel that spending upwards of $300+ CAD is "worth it" for my listening needs, and have been quite happy with these so far.

[restive lion]

i dont have any earbuds and i was looking at getting some, but theyre all so expensive for the manufactured ewaste they are

probably just going to buy a $40 set of anker ones

[quartz dew]

Yeah that's kinda where I'm at, I'm using some old soundcore/anker buds right now but they went through the wash so are now super tinny. I don't wear earbuds terribly often so spending >$200cad on a pair seems insane

[snow magnet]

Peak

[snow magnet]

Do you need wireless?

[tidal elk]

yo guyss there is book im planning on buying but its a bit expensive, anyways this is the blurb:
At a funeral beneath grey skies, Michael receives a final letter from the dead:
“If there is a God… why did I suffer?”
Soon after, strange events begin to unfold across the town. People disappear. Secrets surface. And wherever something terrible happens, a silent figure known only as Crow is never far behind.

Hidden beneath fear and darkness, Crow seems less like a man and more like a warning.
As fear and paranoia consume him, Michael becomes convinced Crow is responsible. But the deeper he digs, the more he begins to suspect that the true danger may have been beside him all along.

Crowing Under is a psychological mystery blending horror, grief, and distorted perception into a story where the line between evil and misunderstanding slowly begins to disappear.

[restive lion]

i have proper monitoring headphones for when i want wired

(perks of working in pro AV)

[snow magnet]

Ah ok

well if you don't mind them being wired, the Apple wired earbuds are fantastic

mine are still going strong after well over 3 years

they've been super durable

even went through the wash when I accidentally left them in my pockets

suffered 0 damage

and much better sound quality than most wireless earbuds

also they're only $25CAD

Hey there! I am looking for a windows laptop and I am having a really hard time right now. I was waiting for the yoga pro 7 but this one landed in my country for a staggering 2800 euros (equivalent to over 3200$). I am seeing the MSI Prestige 16 with the X9 chip and 32GB/2TB configuration. Is it worth it? For some reason there are no reviews for it anywhere. Only for the 14 flip but I don't think it is a fair comparison.

[vapid smelt]

What country

[fallow obsidian]

Hi

[silver sun]

847

[hallow viper]

Greece

Probably similar market dynamics to most EU countries though

[viscid elm]

tons for the 14 at least

but its very very hot even at idle makes it a no from me

i want panther lake so bad but i have just given up as the prices are way way too high so got a 285HX and 5070 ti thinner gaming laptop

maybe when xe3p comes out i will go for it

[gleaming cove]

Just uninstall copilot app and you're good

Other than that, if you're in the EU you can uninstall Edge. If not, it's taking very low space. Ignore it, or it's a good PDF Viewer (actually good NGL)

I can't recall anything else to remove

Is anyone having issues with xbox live server at the moment?

[oak pier]

https://downdetector.com

[torn walrus]

Oh so only 17 reports tho

[pallid falcon]

Nope

[torn walrus]

My bad wifi ig

Are xbox live Server readings accurate like when you doing network tests on it?

[oak pier]

Generally, Yes

[pallid falcon]

Yeah?

Is the XBOX Network only thing you're having issues with?
Issues with the console? Pc app? Mobile app?

[harsh quartz]

sometimes xbox services are sensitive to DNS, maybe set dns to google and see if anything improves?

[torn walrus]

Is settting it to the google one safe?

[oak pier]

yes

[harsh quartz]

yes, its just 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or 1.1.1.1 if you prefer cloudflare. Theyre good for troubleshooting.

[torn walrus]

There chance it could fix it?

[harsh quartz]

thats kinda the point of troubleshooting

[oak pier]

Why would we recommend it if there was no chance it would fix it?

[torn walrus]

Oh happens on xbox downstairs to

[harsh quartz]

yeah, so might be network wide issue. Could be dns, could be something entirely different. Couldnt hurt to try it.

[torn walrus]

Is it not normal to get 100% packetloss spikes all the time?

[oak pier]

It is indeed not normal

[harsh quartz]

if it was then why are you asking. this feels more like shitposting at this point

[torn walrus]

Oh someone said it was a glitch

On other server

[pallid falcon]

Whats the issue you're having

[river dagger]

Ello!

[torn walrus]

100% packetloss spikes all the time and yes

[pallid falcon]

On console?

[torn walrus]

Yes on console

[pallid falcon]

Which console?

[torn walrus]

Xbox Series S

[pallid falcon]

Is the XBOX only device with packetloss

[torn walrus]

Other one downstairs as it

But apart from that other devices dont have it

[pallid falcon]

Do what others suggested, change dns?

[torn walrus]

That did nothing tbh still does it

[river dagger]

This probably doesn't matter too much but worth a shot, I've been having really weird issues recently in quite a few games, mainly VR games but also desktop shooters, where I can see everyone playing and moving normally, but my character is frozen in place for others and then I get disconnected after like 10 seconds, really weird stuff, only happens to games where the servers are based in the US, specifically US West area

[torn walrus]

The router flashed red for 30 seconds before and went off to wifi

Is the power connector plugged in fully (not wiggley or loose) in the back of the Series S?

[torn walrus]

It seems pretty secure to me

[pallid falcon]

Makes me think other devices

[torn walrus]

Can a unupdated phone cause problems?

[pallid falcon]

https://speed.cloudflare.com/ can you test there on other devices

[torn walrus]

I ss the results and sent it you @pallid falcon in dms

[plucky thorn]

Linus is so sexy

[mint sandal]

Was able to get a date 🙌

[plucky thorn]

There's no such thing as normal.

[split swift]

Yes there is

[plucky thorn]

Nuh uh

[hollow token]

Take your meds

[plucky thorn]

I don't believe in that junk

[harsh quartz]

i hope this leads to a proper video of teslas fsd and how much cooler/better this can be

[harsh quartz]

ahh, deathtrap

[split swift]

Not at all actually, its pretty smooth and comfortable to ride

Its made for offroading tho so it rarely gets to 30mph+

Offroading and trail riding

Its not a dirtbike tho

[hollow token]

I wouldn't be surprised if its practically negligible. Teslas are very accident prone, and probably due to some use of self driving technologies

[tough spruce]

in terms of base autopilot/enhanced autopilot, this is practically 1:1 minus traffic light control

v13/v14 takes fsd to levels that make this look like a science fair project

my car is a hw3 car that isnt allowed to shift out of drive when the car is on its own, but this is my commute home from work > grocery store > home

both disengagements are due to horrific pothole in a construction zone on a highway where i live and parking

hw3 is essentially dual quadro equivilant gtx 1080s on a single board with everything except the gpu cutoff iirc

runs the model in parallel and compares against itself

[restive lion]

also the drivers

[tough spruce]

^ biggest problem tbh

[plucky thorn]

What do Linus feed his tech tip?

[vapid smelt]

Until I can legally sleep behind the wheel and the car auto maker is responsible for any traffic violations or accident I ain't calling it Full Self Driving

I'm ok with calling it Amazing Assisted Driving or AAD

[barren furnace]

Hi guys where can i ask or see if someone is selling a prebuild pc? :/ ram prices are crazy and my friend notebook died and she only have 1300 euro budget and she wants it white ._.

[ember fiber]

Is there a difference between FSD and Autonomous Driving?

[ember fiber]

That last part will never happen

No auto maker will ever claim responsibility for traffic violations

[vapid smelt]

That's why I think regular consumer full self driving will ever be a thing

We won't get cars with no steering wheels like this

Wait I think this one has a wheel but ignore it

[frank fog]

I found kittens in an engine bay do yall wanna see?

[vapid smelt]

YES

[harsh quartz]

im surprised warshit let that go through

[frank fog]

The black one is mine now his name is goober and I am teaching him to do crime

I did find them on a tech related job sorta

[vapid smelt]

No sign of mama cat?

[frank fog]

Auto tech

[harsh quartz]

the black ones definitely the keeper. and the 2 playing should stay together :P

[vapid smelt]

Goober has beautiful blue eyes

[frank fog]

No they were in the engine of a 90s dodge van. Its a church van and the church is 30 miles away

Goober was clinging to a brake caliper

The other 2 were cuddled up under the intake hose

The church people wouldnt take them back so im stuck with em

My roomie wants to keep the one goober was playing with

[vapid smelt]

Surprised they lasted 30 miles

[frank fog]

They're strong for 2 week olds

I had to bottle feed them : )

[vapid smelt]

What assholes

[tough spruce]

i mean mercedes already has

[sharp leaf]

looking for some help with GTA V Online. Message or add me if your willing to help point me in the direction to make money. Don't have all day to play and really dont want to buy Sharkcardz.

[tough spruce]

problem is the pre-reqs for their level 3 system are so stringent that its practically unusable

(assuming it was ever sold to a customer in the US)

[vapid smelt]

I don't get why Elon hates lidar so much

[tough spruce]

i dont think its lidar directly

his biggest opposition has been having multiple different types of sensors

the only type of sensor you can have, and have a fully autonomous car is cameras

what if my cameras see nothing infront of me, my radar sees an object 900ft infront of me, and lidar sees something 75ft infront

which do you believe

[vapid smelt]

That's when the car beeps at you and you take control

[tough spruce]

i mean if im there to supervise, obviously but what if im waymo for instance

[vapid smelt]

Waymos remote operator driver takes over xD

[tough spruce]

yeah well weve seen how well that works

i mean elon has shown that a pure camera system is more then capable

the only upside radar has over vision is foggy weather, which you should be adhearing to what the cameras can see for lane lines anyways so does it really solve anything

[plucky thorn]

When I was a kid we had a huge orange tomcat named goober that had one eye from a cat fight and it would murder squirrels to leave on our doorstep

[frigid frost]

chill fire fox, okay, okay, i will use the vpn

jokes aside i think its just a bug

[rough socket]

I saw that too lol

[vapid vortex]

Same

Oh that happened to me as well after updating my Firefox haha

[graceful matrix]

I use some no name 30w adapter that makes noises

[graceful matrix]

2 days

[mint sandal]

Yup got a date lol

[graceful matrix]

Gl at your date in a cafe

[mint sandal]

Might do dinner and awesome part is she could probably help with the project im working on too lol

[graceful matrix]

Win win situation

[mint sandal]

Yeah MIT grad 😂

[graceful matrix]

Would take a while then

[mint sandal]

Think she was a part of a specialized engineering program

[graceful matrix]

Do I need big brain for a expert Minecraft modpack?

[mint sandal]

Lol my project has my brain sore

[graceful matrix]

When i over think i play easier modpacks

[mint sandal]

Im looking into a theoretical framework

[graceful matrix]

Im looking for optimal burn rate for benze profuction in gtnh

Like the box in the stripped box

[brittle yew]

Hello

[graceful matrix]

4x4x4 with 1 block gap in-between

1 input trough the top
1 output trough hopers under the coke oven
1 fluid output trough tinkers shute

[brittle yew]

Just a quick question about the rules. What does FP Content mean?

[graceful matrix]

Like i said have fun and gl at your date

[vapid smelt]

The platform floatplane with exclusive videos

[brittle yew]

Ah okay.

[teal belfry]

hemlo

[pallid falcon]

https://floatplane.com

[stoic warren]

s floatplane down?

[oak pier]

no

[frigid frost]

So its either truespec aux or ltt headphones

[rough socket]

Why isn't ltt doing as much ads for floatplane as for ltt store?

[orchid walrus]

Got an absolute chad of a laptop

[worn elk]

a friend bought gpu. he is very noob with it. hes saying its RTX gpu, but I think its GTX? its not clearly visible but im sure it says G?

[orchid walrus]

Friend got got

[vapid smelt]

It is a G how much did he spend

[hollow token]

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-GTX-1660-VENTUS-XS-6G-OC/Gallery

Copper pipe location is a match

[worn elk]

he said its this one? he got scammed?

[vapid smelt]

Yes

[hollow token]

backplate design doesn't match

bro got scammed

[vapid smelt]

I bet its a GTX 1060

[hollow token]

He's the proud(ish) owner of a gtx 1660

[worn elk]

alright.. 😂

[rough socket]

That's clearly a G yeah

Don't tell him anything, ignorance is bliss @worn elk

[vapid smelt]

Until he tries to load a game that requires ray tracing like Indiana Jones

[rough socket]

[shut lichen]

Your friend needs to get glasses how tf do you screw that up

[shut lichen]

A 2060 wasn't going to run that anyway

[hollow token]

also you could just ask him to like, open task manager

It will tell you in there

[gilded quest]

I assume LTT headphones would just be a collab with an existing headphone brand

Whereas cables could be a real thing

But I thought they said there wasn't much business sense in expanding into audio cables
I think they're next cable is gonna be display

[shut lichen]

The audio cable market is pretty saturated

Very easy to make good audio cables

You can buy the cable and connectors and do it yourself even

Unlike with USB or display stuff

[rough socket]

I mean they are product managers, they don't have the factories

They hire people that know stuff and work with good quality factories that will make the product exactly according to spec

Saying "they would work with an existing brand" is true for literally anything they sell... Just not a customer brand

[rough socket]

I so need good display port cables

And hdmi... Though this one is unlikely sadly

I have killed maybe 5-10 hdmi / dp cables in like 5 years

My current dp cable even started having issues yesterday lol

[winged spire]

All of my display cables are thicker than my pc power cables lol

Significantly thicker

[gilded quest]

Fair enough I wouldn't say never, especially now that they have a dedicated audio person on staff

But headphones feels more like "we partnered with revered audio company to make a customized LTT version of X"

[winged spire]

I was looking at the regulation for calling your product “made in Canada” and it’s basically a joke

[rough socket]

It feels more like that to you because lots of brand did it

And that's because there is some sort of brand cult for lots of audio stuff, so they can surf on the hype of said brand

[rough socket]

It's a joke for most countries tbh lol

[winged spire]

Not the US

🤷

[rough socket]

Never looked at it

[winged spire]

"Made in Canada" claims are subject to a 51% threshold of Canadian content

So the ONLY part of the screwdriver that meets this is the very economically viable injection
Molding

Every other part is made in China

All the hard parts

They’ve also got another one called “product of Canada” which is harder apparently

Also my power is out 😑

[rough socket]

Well tbh I don't really care where are stuff made as long as they are good

Except if it's to support artisans and local market, but at that point I don't care about made in x country and more about who made it

[gilded quest]

L

Can't you just use your car to power your home

[rough socket]

Apparently just for food?

[winged spire]

Ah that makes sense

[rough socket]

Pretty sure you can lol

[winged spire]

I know maple syrup qualifies

[winged spire]

I care about it not being made in China

[rough socket]

I'm certain I never ate real maple syrup in my life

[winged spire]

Decades of predatory behavior has led to them owning the concept of manufacturing

[rough socket]

Well we also were the ones offloading everything there and paying people absolute garbage wages too so eh

[winged spire]

Made in Europe /made in North America is much better

Wages aren’t even that bad in China anymore that’s why they’re outsourcing to an even shittier country now 😂

India and shit

[gilded quest]

I do think real maple syrup tastes noticeably different than the cheap flavored stuff

Although I wouldn't say I like it

[rough socket]

I don't think I can find real maple syrup in France

[winged spire]

Don’t let the Canadians hear but America makes the best maple syrup

Vermont maple syrup is the best syrup on the planet

[gilded quest]

I just don't like syrup so meh

[rough socket]

Not my thing too, but I'm still curious at how it would taste
