[topaz veldt]

you can't share rocket league

[edgy laurel]

oh

[fringe vigil]

Why don’t you talk that much

[edgy laurel]

jorj leave em alone

[topaz veldt]

rocket league can be shared thru Steam... but it requires an epic account. I made him an epic account, but it says the copy is registered to a different one

[muted spire]

have you seen the tech chats? lmao

[topaz veldt]

I think im gonna have to buy another copy of rocket league so its 1:1 under his user

[muted spire]

iirc rocket league is f2p now

[edgy laurel]

ok so its specifically a Rocket League thing

[topaz veldt]

yeah he has to go thru my steam account because it was linked thru epic

so its not family share right now

[fringe vigil]

[topaz veldt]

its 5mall5nail5 trying to play two PCs

[fringe vigil]

If you have rocket league on steam congrats bec none of us can get it now

[brisk jolt]

i just had my mom's friend come with their son, and damn it was 1 awkward situation when they asked to see my setup

[inland wind]

Did anybody look into smart glasses recently? Kinda wanna try the microLED ones but confused about the screens and whatnot

Kinda want a dailydriver and maybe something hackable and decently open-source?

[fringe vigil]

Hell na

[fringe vigil]

Who’s kurgesgat

[topaz veldt]

you are right - and wow is this confusing - its free to play AND its no longer on steam... but my copy is

[fringe vigil]

Gift me a copy

[topaz veldt]

its free lol

[muted spire]

yeah epic games bought out psionix, then removed the game from sale on steam and killed official linux support

[fringe vigil]

On steam

[topaz veldt]

well that kind of works to my favor

[fringe vigil]

I want it on steam

Epic sucks

[arctic bronze]

Epic is epic

[muted spire]

you still need epic to play it, even if you have it on steam

[topaz veldt]

yah thats my issue

[fringe vigil]

Wow

[topaz veldt]

my steam copy is tied to my epic copy, and so i made little dude a steam account, but it still logs into epic as me

[fringe vigil]

lol

[wraith steeple]

[trail estuary]

Wait it comes with one lol

My monitor is from like 2006 so I don't know such things

[brisk jolt]

damn 1440p 180hz from 2006

[trail estuary]

No I'm buying a new monitor lol

It's vga 1400x900, 75hz

[summer sentinel]

Should I plug it rn just to test it or wait for my new psu? I have a masterwatt 600w lite 💀 and a 13600k

Or should I wait for my new one so I won't fry it or something lol

[lone scarab]

wait

[summer sentinel]

I should have asked before but is Asus prime 850w gold ok for this card? I got a deal on it but I can still cancel the order

[lone scarab]

i mean you can still try it tho

[lone scarab]

🤔idk about that

[summer sentinel]

Yeah but I don't want to burn my money in a literal way 😂

[lone scarab]

what psu do you currently have

[summer sentinel]

Masterwatt 600w lite

That's the one I ordered

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/power-supply-units/prime/ap-850g/

[lone scarab]

great

[summer sentinel]

It sounds good on paper but I couldn't really find it in tier lists

Who knows who actually makes them, I know that their higher end ones are seasonic

[lone scarab]

yeah

probably more expensive

[summer sentinel]

It has a built in 12VHPWR apparently

I wonder if I should still use the adapter though

[shell void]

2x 8pin to 1x 12v-2x6 is the safest choice, but 5070 is only a 250W card so it doesn't really matter

there's a very low chance of something going wrong as long as you push the connectors fully in

[ashen zealot]

what graphics card should i get to pair with my ryzen 9 3900x

buying used

[summer sentinel]

Honestly hearing that it's "only" consuming 250w is flabbergasting , I am jumping from 1660 ti rn lol

Did cards simply get less efficient xx70 cards back in the day only consumed around 180w

[shell void]

no efficiency has gone up every generation

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil teach me how to dougie

[fringe vigil]

I got you

[summer sentinel]

I mean 1080ti used to consume 250w lol

I didn't expect a xx70 card to be that hungry because it's still on the edge of mid range cards

Like I am not complaining because I should be set with 850w but it's kinda interesting

[shell void]

5070 is more than twice as powerful as the 1080Ti while putting out the same amount of heat from a GPU die that is almost half the size

performance density and efficiency goes up every gen

[summer sentinel]

Yeah true when comparing raw numbers but I mean that the tdp is going up overall for every class of cards, the raw numbers are probably better thanks to the newer tsmc processing node

[lone scarab]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shell void]

yeah tdp is going to keep going up as density goes up

2080Ti and 5090 are both roughly ~750mm GPUs, and they both operate in the 1.0-1.05v range most of the time, but the 5090 is 600W and 2080Ti is 250W

power density is increasing

but if you normalize to any particular power target then usually the 5080 is the most efficient gaming card

[lone scarab]

12nm vs 4nm

[shell void]

this is for theoretical enterprise hardware but still it paints the picture that power density is going to keep going up

im expecting the 6090 to be 800W

[pure garnet]

i’m trying to figure out the logistics of this one

2 12v connectors?

[lone scarab]

when will nvidia change their naming system again

there is no way they'r going for 10050

[shell void]

hopefully

[vocal plume]

I want a 6090 just for the memes

But years later when its like 500 or less

[lone scarab]

why

[vocal plume]

Cause the funny number

And by then my 3080ti will probably be on its last legs

We'll have to use electric car chargers just for the GPU at one point

aren’t you already on the list pepe

[vestal granite]

the block list? probably

[vocal plume]

No numpad

[pure garnet]

i know i am

my crime was saying “day 4”

[vestal granite]

i dont use numpad to log in cause i havent worked a job that requires numpad yet so im not fast with it im faster with just the number row u know what i mean

[wise bear]

I got a pretty keeb without one and im v happy w/ it

[pure garnet]

i have a numpad at work but at home i don’t have one and it doesn’t bother me

[vestal granite]

some people are like normal speed typers and then 200wpm on a numpad its so cool to see actually

[pure garnet]

i use the numpad just for the period placement tbh

[vocal plume]

Thats siiiick. I only use the numpad for macros anyway tbh

[vestal granite]

i only ever used it for garrys mod hotkeys

[pure garnet]

i have to enter dates often so 10.25 or whatever is super fast on that

[vestal granite]

for macros i have left side macro keys

wait what do you do with the second rotary encoder

christ, spotify starting out with the melancholy this morning

I vibe w/ it

i dont use my keyboards like that it was just for the photo

[wise bear]

lmao the bottom display i love it

[pure garnet]

league open he’s just like me fr

[vestal granite]

yeah i fastened an aliexpress dp display driver to the back and now the laptop display is a not laptop display

by fastened i mean i taped it down with kapton tape and its actually really inconvenient

[vocal plume]

Good on ya for recycling

[vestal granite]

oh the laptop was fully functional before

[wise bear]

LMAO

[vestal granite]

it still works it just doesnt have a display now

[wise bear]

ah yes the true linux machine

[vocal plume]

Headless server

[wise bear]

a laptop w/ no display lmao

[pure garnet]

i ran a no display laptop as my main computer for a bit

but i also was the one to break the display

[vestal granite]

thats what i normally use it for since the battery is basically a built in UPS for it

[vocal plume]

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-markiplier-gif-14835823

[wise bear]

I've only ever broken one display in my lifetime & it was a dinky 55" tv trying to lift the panel out to replace the light cones

[vestal granite]

the only displays ive broken were ones that i didnt notice i was breaking

like i would move a display, no problem, plug it in, oops now its broken

and im very careful so i dont know what happened each of those times

[pure garnet]

i’ve only broken the laptop

[vocal plume]

I broke my laptop display when I was a young teen. Accidentally dropped it down the stairs

[pure garnet]

learned my lesson after that, i left it on the floor and stood in it by accident

my acer monitor did up and die on its own though

[wise bear]

I shot a giant crt tv with an airsoft gun until the front imploded when we finally got a plasma tv

that was fun

[vestal granite]

ive broken more laptop charge ports than laptop displays, i would stand up suddenly and the cable gets caught on me somewhere

[vocal plume]

Noooo crts are cool :(

[green marsh]

sometimes i feel sorry for the GPUs. They call this "4x 3090 local ai workstation"

[wise bear]

it was on its way out anyways, the blue channel was half-working

[vestal granite]

[vestal granite]

i think those world record powerlifter guys could probably lift more if it was just a CRT they had to move

[pure garnet]

my pixel 2 xl caught an airsoft bullet for me and aside from a dent it was completely fine

[green marsh]

people hate on phone cases, but man, if i didn't had my case, my A53 5G would have been broken dozen times. Instead the biggest issue i have with it is dust getting into the parts which are not covered for obvious reasons (speaker, microphone)

[wise bear]

I kinda wanna get an old 14" crt or something and set it up so it's permanent saturday cartoons streaming to it

[pure garnet]

i use a case on my phones now

[vestal granite]

people hate on phone cases?

[wise bear]

^?

[pure garnet]

i ran my essential phone with no case though

that ceramic was so pretty

[wise bear]

my pixel 7 never leaves its case unless I'm cleaning it

[pure garnet]

floppa doesn’t use one here

[vestal granite]

nah bro i spent a lot of money on my phone im using a case 1% of the cost of it to save it from danger

[green marsh]

some do, yes. "They destroy the original design of the phone" etc

[turbid locust]

Slim clear case + glass screen protector has been my meta for years now

[vestal granite]

well they should design the phone to not break so easily

[green marsh]

phones with glass backs 😄

[vestal granite]

i like the cracked glass look actually

if i had a glass back phone i would put it in a clear acrylic case and drop it a few times to get that look

[wise bear]

lichtenberg glass cracking would look baller on a phone

[green marsh]

my Nokia 7.1's back is broken like that. Doesn't cut anything, but it is broken. The 5-10 euro case is cheaper than to fix it tho, plus Nokia 7.1 is such a slow phone

[vestal granite]

is that the thing i see videos of where they like tap the side of glass railings and whatnot

[polar prawn]

i’ve been using cases like this + screen protectors and i live at a place with lots of gravel and have dropped it a fair number of times and they’ve held up great across my last couple phones

[wise bear]

no its created with high voltage

usually you do it with wood but you can do it with glass if it's a strong enough discharge iirc

[vestal granite]

oh i googled it okay thats pretty sick

[wise bear]

acrylic does it good too

[vestal granite]

it should originate from the charge port too

[brisk jolt]

idk why he’s still lingering in a chat that he blocked lmao

[wise bear]

literally just dumping a lightning bolt into something

[green marsh]

i get stuff like that for every phone

[wise bear]

is that a spigen case

[green marsh]

nah, some random case from amazon

[polar prawn]

i meant minimal bumper cases that expose the sides

[wise bear]

Me likey spigen

cheap and hella effective

[green marsh]

Cruzerlite

[wise bear]

no spotify fuck off I don't wanna cry yet

[green marsh]

but to be fair, in this case i didn't had many options

[polar prawn]

i got it because i thought the camera control button on this iphone would be too hard to press with some cases but it’s kinda easy to accidentally press so maybe a bigger case would be nice

[green marsh]

when you are trying to buy cases for 6-7 year old phones, the options are rather limited

[vestal granite]

what does camera control button do

[wise bear]

shutter

methinks

[polar prawn]

but having no sides on the case is pretty nice and hasn’t screwed me over yet in the past 4 years or so so i’ll probably keep doing it next time I get a new phone

[vestal granite]

did it really take 20 years to get a shutter button on cutting edge mobile technology

[polar prawn]

it’s programmable, it has a button and touch sensors on it

[wise bear]

volume down on pixels is a shutter button lmao

[green marsh]

most likely iPhone 18 is removing it again, cause nobody uses it

[wise bear]

magsafe for iphones when

[polar prawn]

i have mine set where first click opens the camera, then I can slide my finger on it to zoom and click it to take a photo

[green marsh]

https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/19/apple-drop-camera-control-button-iphone-18/

[vestal granite]

that sounds great until I realized that I would hate that because im not good at any of those slidey things

like thinkpad mouse joystick im really bad at that

[polar prawn]

i just like having the one programmable button by volume for my flashlight

[vestal granite]

yeah i use my slidedown menu thing for that

[polar prawn]

the phone is kinda thin to comfortably slide my finger on the camera control button

at least on the large pro max it just feels tedious to use

[steel stream]

would be hilarious

[brisk jolt]

This was one funny song to put in a scene of throwing a can ngl

[polar prawn]

i do miss the physical switch for do not disturb, it was great for making sure your phone wouldn’t ring in a meeting or something and you could check if it was enabled in your pocket without looking at the screen

[vestal granite]

and it was fun to just mess around with

good for fidgeting

[steel stream]

honestly I don't miss it, the action button is nice, lets me run a shortcut to quickly shuffle my music

[turbid locust]

My phone is never not on silent so it’s a non issue for me

camera button is dumb as fuck though who asked for that

[whole coral]

Ngl the AirPods Pro 3 seem nice

Longer earbud battery life

[steel stream]

it's cool in concept yeah, more similar to an actual shutter button but everyone likes the standard camera interface, and its only really good when the phone is horizontal

[polar prawn]

that’s my favorite type of laptop pointer input but I don’t like the camera control much

[polar prawn]

yeah i’d fidget with that a lot too

i just miss it because I find myself putting my phone in silent and forgetting to take it off for like 2 days lately pretty often and it made it easier to not do that

i’d never seen a broken one or even one that felt loose at all so those switches must have been designed pretty well

[turbid locust]

I’m so tired of people whining about “pc cheaters” in games like every 14 year old and their mom aren’t running a Cronus on their console nowadays

[topaz veldt]

I am tired of a lot of things

Lmaooo. Thick iPhone

10,000+ mAh battery

There is an android phone that has that thickness actually

[shell void]

i dont see the appeal of the iphone air personally

thickness isnt the problem with portability or pocket fitment

[devout ridge]

“buy our thinnest phone! then stick a thick ass battery on the back”

[shell void]

yeah as soon as i saw them recommend an external battery in the keynote i laughed

it's gonna have terrible battery life

[devout ridge]

with the battery it’s basically the same thickness as the iphone 17/pro

but less cameras, and even worse battery life actually

[whole coral]

Also one speaker. No stereo

[fringe vigil]

Is the 17 i good

[whole coral]

Yes

[fringe vigil]

Similar to 16 pro max?

What’s new?

[vestal granite]

also comfort

thinner phones are not more comfortable to hold

[small cypress]

should i add more fans to my pc? i have 2 currently not including the cpu fan

[vestal granite]

i.e xbox controller vs nintendo switch joycons u ever try to hold nintendo switch joycons theyre horrible ergonomically

[pure garnet]

i think it’s a neat idea but it’s a hard sell

it very much looks like a foldable testing ground though

the camera bump is where all the phone actually is

bottom is just all battery

[crude ruin]

Mmmmm, Windows 95

Definitely not a stock photo

[lone scarab]

i dont like the design

design change wasnt necessary but they had to do it else people would say that apple is using outdated design because its old

12 -> 48 mp camera

[shell void]

5x zoom with 12MP -> 8x zoom with 48MP will be a huge upgrade for anyone who takes zoomed photos regularly

im looking forward to that more than anything else coming from my 13 pro

[turbid locust]

My only requirement for a camera is “good enough” lol

it’s basically impossible to not get a decent camera on an iPhone so I don’t think about it at all

[lone scarab]

androids have been doing this for long time

but they have also been slapping 200mp on our faces like its making big difference

[wise bear]

I appreciate this

[lone scarab]

it was little better if not at all than apple

we weren't really shopping to buy, more so just shopping to spend time together

[wise bear]

oh jesus christ I'm not that bougie

[devout ridge]

Nor am i, it was just kind of fun to look at for the rest of my family

[verbal orchid]

what mb for a 9800x3d? that looks nice too

[devout ridge]

any am5 board you think "looks nice"

[verbal orchid]

imma prolly wait for the next gen am5 cpus

[devout ridge]

might be waiting a while

[verbal orchid]

i thnk a bit less than a yr

cus in like 2-3 yrs am6 is out

[devout ridge]

Minimum 2 years

[steel stream]

next year

[verbal orchid]

ye

id say its worth waiting

and my cpu rn aint bad

12900k

[edgy laurel]

Didn’t we get some leaked info that led us to believe Zen7 might be on am5 a few weeks back?

[verbal orchid]

i thought it was zen 6

[edgy laurel]

Zen6 we have know is on AM5

[verbal orchid]

ahh mbmb

[shell void]

MLID claims that, but i havent seen anyone else mention it

[edgy laurel]

Oh right, it was MLID

[pure garnet]

wouldn’t zen 7 be like 2028?

[verbal orchid]

ye

[arctic bronze]

na, im on zen 12

[pure garnet]

would feel really odd for that to not be ddr6

[verbal orchid]

oh shi fr

[arctic bronze]

lmao

na

[turbid locust]

if so I called it months ago and im the smartest mf alive

Do we still not have DDR6 documentation or ES ics?

[devout ridge]

ddr6 spec is already finished isn't it?

[turbid locust]

maybe but have we still not seen any engineering sample DDR6 chips?

[shell void]

LPDDR6 was validated in July 2025, but DDR6 isnt validated yet

[turbid locust]

We were seeing DDR5 ic's like 3 years before AM5 release

[shell void]

DDR5 was validated in July 2020 and we got the 12900K in November 2021

so whenever DDR6 is validated id expect to see platforms using it in around 1-1.5 years

[turbid locust]

AMD is slow tho

[shell void]

i would hate to see us still using AM5 up to 2030

[turbid locust]

it would be an AMD thing to do

good

you wouldnt survive the other areas youd rage quit hard

when you fight this boss, yeah good luck lmao, you need serious skill

SILKSONG is way harder than the first game btw

i mean WAY HARDER

[turbid locust]

https://thegamepost.com/borderlands-4-boss-4k-1440p-frames/ oh fuck off Randy lmfao

[edgy laurel]

k. DLSS Quality then.

Should be good enough, right, Randy??

[turbid locust]

Meanwhile DLSS Performance alone still doesnt give me good performance lol

[pure garnet]

no he expects you to use dlss performance at 1440p

[edgy laurel]

in what way. I wonder if you're forcing a CPU bound scenario at Performance

[turbid locust]

like 100fps

actually not even 100, like 85-90 lol

[edgy laurel]

yikes

[pure garnet]

your 14900k is holding you back fr

need that 9800x3d for it minimum

[edgy laurel]

need x3D 🤣

[turbid locust]

Bl4 is harder to run than 2077 Path tracing

[pure garnet]

i think i gave myself x3d brainrot because i tested my xiv cpu bound scenarios again and the difference was only 10fps

[turbid locust]

I mean BL4 is UE5

[hoary hatch]

did discord desktop update

[turbid locust]

My 5090 can be drawing 600W and I'll still have cpu bound instances

[pure garnet]

i don’t own a good enough second gpu to do any unreal engine testing

[hoary hatch]

it feels....different

[edgy laurel]

its always updating

[pure garnet]

i’d bet bl4 has a bigger gap though

[hoary hatch]

something just looks off

[pure garnet]

but i only play old fart mmos where the 4070 isn’t holding back the other system in the test

[edgy laurel]

it seems the same to me

[hoary hatch]

hmmm

I don't really use desktop so maybe I've gotten too used to mobile

i feel like this gap is too much

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

oh, yeah

[devout ridge]

yes

[edgy laurel]

i think i've noticed something weird about the space between the chat box and the message above

Im trying to use this SAS controller and it disconnects my ethernet for some reason. why?

I have an i5 10600 on an MSI B460i ITX motherboard with an M2 ssd.

[edgy laurel]

doesn't sound like it has anything to do with "server hardware"

Your ethernet adapter is disappearing from the system itself (BIOS) or just WIndows/Device Manager with the card inserted? Does it come back if you pull the card?

[spark stone]

Yes it comes back when i yank the card. Im running linux.

If tortellini's didn't make me fat... I would eat them as a meal once a day.

Nothing has any detail in it. It's just like a solid color

[dapper junco]

Does this creator video specifically looks normal pre current a/b ai upscaling test?

[brisk jolt]

holy shit that was one tough exam

[mental viper]

this has got to be the opposite of upscaling in my opinion

he looks normal when i open videos from them

i havent looked at that specific video

I just bought a cudy WU 1400 1.0 wifi adapter, I downloaded all the drivers and all, It works fine for 2g, but it aint connecting to 5g, I even disabled the old adapter I had. What to do now?

[vale bay]

Hello, can you suggest me best loptops for university?

[bold spruce]

What major? If you jst need to take notes and stuff get the macbook air or a snapdragon based laptop

[bold spruce]

For 232 bucks its not bad

Solid roblox and mc machine

[vale bay]

I dont play these games :Ddd

I play rust fivem :Ddd

[green marsh]

If it doesn't die

[lone scarab]

you want to play games as well?

[vale bay]

yeah and for study

[lone scarab]

ah then you need windows

[vale bay]

yeah i understand thats why I am asking for a good laptop for study and games :Dd

[lone scarab]

fivem uses a lot of ram i think

remind me what it uses the most

[vale bay]

rust too

and cpu

[lone scarab]

32gb

[vale bay]

wait let me check

[lone scarab]

whats you budget?

[granite dirge]

im so confused, is it normal for Fallout new vegas to default to medium settings for a 9600x 64gb of ram and a 7900xt/

is my rig only capeable of medium?

ive never setup settings for a game like this, so im not sure what to pick setting wise.

but im using a 4k tv? this is what it defaulted to

[lone scarab]

what

[lone scarab]

change the settings?

[granite dirge]

i dont know what almost all the settings are or mean or what i should set it to,

im very new to pc gaming,

[lone scarab]

set them all the ultra and try

[granite dirge]

solid 80% of my use of pc is using second life,

my tv / monitor is 4k shouldnt i change the reslution too?

[lone scarab]

yeah? if you want to

and if its already not 4k

oh yeah its not

set it to max

[granite dirge]

the lscreen shot you responsed to shows, like 1128x634....

[lone scarab]

set it to 4k

or the highest available option

[edgy laurel]

New Vegas is a 2010 action role-playing game

Yes, game is 15 years old it has no idea what your hardware is

or what its capable of

[granite dirge]

9600x, 7900xt 64gb ddr5-6000

[edgy laurel]

I don't need your hardware, i'm just explaining your question

[lone scarab]

he said the game doesnt know that

none of this hardware existed at the time of this game

[edgy laurel]

what it sets as the default kinda doesn't matter

[granite dirge]

this is so weird playing with a mouse and keyboard to play fallout, cant wait for my amazon package to arrive , so i can use my controller,

[topaz veldt]

Kind of weird - there's no ASUS X870E Apex driver since 7/22

Not that I have any explicit issues but Apex boards usually see more action

Same with Z890 Apex - 7/29 last release, hm

[leaden dawn]

Have you already played New Vegas before?

[shell void]

i take that as a good thing

[green marsh]

looks like summer vacation to me

i mean i know in US it is unheard off that people take 2-3 weeks of vacation in one sitting, but 😄

[topaz veldt]

yes and no - there's like always improvements to be made... but yeah nothing "wrong" but just surprising. My experience on these types of boards has always been more movement on the BIOS side

[topaz veldt]

not sure I follow

ASUS BIOS dev is surely not done in the US

[green marsh]

exactly my point. Summer vacations in August => less development

[shell void]

AFAIK there is no new agesa yet, so if nothing is broken on the board then there’s no point in them pushing an update

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I dunno

[green marsh]

or none at all. Like when stocks in stores dry up every february, because life in China stops when Chinese new year happens

[topaz veldt]

Its not summer in Taiwan so I dunno that the theory holds water

[whole coral]

Can’t believe I didn’t see the Aurora borealis last night. Freaking foggy

[shell void]

1.2.0.3f. is still latest afaik

public anyway

[topaz veldt]

and z890 Apex is static as well

[shell void]

it’ll be okay updooter

i am bummed that arrowlake refresh is a q1 2026 thing instead of a q4 2025 thing

i wasn’t expecting app3 videos for a few more days

[edgy laurel]

i need these

[frank zealot]

so I'm torn...
IDK if this is real or not, but it's also dumb enoiugh that I fully expect nerds to fucking do it >.<

shit burning down helped add to the authenticity

[charred lava]

the fuck

[edgy laurel]

I have zero trouble believing that's real

[frank zealot]

like it's dumb enough that I want to believe it's photochop, but also dumb enough that I fully expect morons to do it

So, rather than spend 100$ on 10 rolls of PLA, I decided I didn't need that much filament, and ordered 5 for 56$ instead.

I figured that was more reasonable

@edgy laurel @charred lava @shell void @steel stream @frosty prism

I'm curious if y'all knew about this:

In most online video players (YT, Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc.) if you press "F" it goes fullscreen (and back out of)?

I acidentally found that, and... it's oddly convenient frequently.

[edgy laurel]

I always use that

as well as J, K and L

scrub 10 seconds forward and back, as well as play/pause

[charred lava]

This I knew

[fervent elm]

True

[charred lava]

this too

[edgy laurel]

left and right < and > for second by second, then arrows for scrub 5 seconds

[shell void]

yes you do

[charred lava]

aren't < and > frame by frame

[edgy laurel]

M for mute, then up and down arrows for volume

[frank zealot]

yup

[topaz veldt]

I am not too bummed - selfishly, gives me time to see if my new cooling setup will make any difference in my CPUs OC abilities

[edgy laurel]

frame by frame, thats what i meant yes

[frank zealot]

oh, I always use the arrow keys constantly

[edgy laurel]

sometimes you wanna do bigger steps, so 10 seconds is nice

[frank zealot]

can be, but YT scrubbing is fairly quick if you hold

[charred lava]

There's that too

[frank zealot]

some other sites (netflix) are nowhere near as good

[edgy laurel]

just depends on how long the video is and how quickly you're trying to get through it. I use both depending on my intentions

might as well just link this https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7631406?hl=en

[charred lava]

4x speed plus hold to scrub plus distracted by another tab = what did that video say again?

[topaz veldt]

Can anyone think of a fixed frame rate game?

[frank zealot]

well, I give 3d printer people credit:
They're creative at a minimum

[edgy laurel]

huh, shift + < / > adjusts playback speed. neat

[charred lava]

that I didn't know

[edgy laurel]

many more I didn't know about on that cheatsheet I linked

[topaz veldt]

its like memorizing Emacs shortcuts

Its so interesting... and then you forget 45 mins later because lol wtf would I use this for

[edgy laurel]

speaking of, i have this thing where I'll start typing thinking i'm here, or some other chat. Meanwhile i'm focused on the youtube window

[edgy laurel]

mIRC still around

wonder when the last time it was updated was

[topaz veldt]

xkcd i think

[frank zealot]

did you know that if you type your credit card number and related info into discord, it shows up as ****? ``` ******* *********

[charred lava]

[edgy laurel]

it was IRC, the hunter2 thing look above

[topaz veldt]

i think xkcd made a joke about it and people were doing it

[frank zealot]

stupid discord lol

[charred lava]

don't forget the funny little numbers on the back

[topaz veldt]

ah yes yes

[edgy laurel]

whatever happened to xkcd's greatness

[topaz veldt]

im not sure actually

[charred lava]

Still the ocassional banger

[edgy laurel]

didn't even know they were still doing them

[charred lava]

For all I know they could be reruns

after how many hundreds / thousands of strips and jokes, they may run out of most of the bangers

I also use the -gry one regularly

Found a fb scammer "can you just put small upfront?"

[topaz veldt]

What If

[frank zealot]

Okay sure no problem despite Iam still receiving many other people inquiries and requests. Can you do a small upfront? I will be happy to hold it for you as I put it on pending sold✅

Not today FB Marketplace satan!

[young void]

Never pay upfront to randos

[frank zealot]

Triple not when the message reads like this

[topaz veldt]

but what if its the best thing that happened to you in your life?

like you never know

[charred lava]

"I'm a pro golfer. I don't putt small."

[topaz veldt]

Like imagine someone was like "dude, buy 100 shares of this "TSLA" stock its gonna be good" in 2018

maybe the FB guy is just trying to set you up like that

[young void]

Frigging jawas lol

Silly geese the lotttt

[topaz veldt]

look at some point someone is going to come up to you and say something trivial and it was the biggest most life impacting thing you never did

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/hercules-its-gonna-be-big-nudge-gif-14375360

[green marsh]

imagine buying AMD in comparison

[topaz veldt]

not as good of a yield

[green marsh]

TSLA was $20, is $420 now

[topaz veldt]

ya

[young void]

Ngl think I had a few shares on robinhood

[green marsh]

AMD in 2015 was $2, now is $160

[topaz veldt]

but I said 2018

[young void]

But back in 2018 I worked 2 jobs and was struggling to get by so I sold all my stocks and came up like $40 for gas

[green marsh]

well ok, 2015 TSLA was $15

[topaz veldt]

but this happened to me in 2018

[green marsh]

to be fair, the biggest thing would be "i will keep these bitcoins, maybe they will be worth something" 😄

(guy who bought pizza for 10 bitcoins or 100?)

[topaz veldt]

its all relative

[green marsh]

ah sorry, 10k bitcoins was those 2 pizzas

[young void]

I really should invest when possible

Give it another 10 or so years

If inflation continues ought to be ok

[green marsh]

you should it when young, and incrementally. Even if in some index funds, it accumulates

i mean literally putting like $50 a month into some index fund is better than trying to catch up with 10 years of doing that in your early 40s

[topaz veldt]

if you bought 1969 Copo Camaro for like $7000and held it today and sold for $1.1M

[charred lava]

Negative money hack 🔥

[green marsh]

compound interest is hell of a thing, the years you put away little makes up for a lot. Yes, there are better gains to be achieved by doing other types of investment, but something like $50-$100 a month won't kill you and it is something which you can always take out and invest into something else.

[oak vector]

Yeah not stonks I agree Jawa

[young void]

Thats what i started doing about $60 a paycheck

Should leave me with something when I cant move around as well

[topaz veldt]

I invest $6000 a paycheck

Why can’t I just be done with school so I can go into the military please 😭

[young void]

One dayy

[oak vector]

If you got it no qualms otherwise 6k sitting ain't helping any

Myte as well get something back

Right wich is kinda what im aiming for over the next 20 years if im so lucky and dont get into any ruts if I can keep my eye on the prize and just slowly but surely

[random flame]

What's funny about it is that I already saw it coming before they realized it.

[merry stirrup]

lol switch 2 forcing games to be optimised who wouldve saw that one like fr

[oak vector]

I’m fortunate to have what I have honestly
I’m doing damn well for someone in my age and situation

[green marsh]

that is why i say do investments in index funds, with monthly small payments

[random flame]

With UE5 features specifically too. That stuff is heavy and they even pointed out my cpu was where it struggles as is on pc.

[merry stirrup]

as well as goppa 🤝

im only 19 🫡

[oak vector]

I moved out at 16 🔥

[random flame]

So take that and apply it to basically the equivalent of 2 and half beefier RPi 5s surgically attached together.

[merry stirrup]

so thats why you disappeared

[green marsh]

yes, index funds won't give you 30-50% gains per year, maybe it will be 4, maybe 15-20% in best years. but on average it will beat the inflation by a lot, and it will be a safety net to lean on at worst, your pension improvement at best

[young void]

I cant remember if I was 15 or 16 kinda blurs when couch surfing and looking for ways to eats

[oak vector]

Yeah it’s part of the whole ordeal

[merry stirrup]

yes

o7

[green marsh]

i mean:

MSCI World Index: The average yearly return for the MSCI World Index varies depending on the period, but historical data from Curvo shows returns such as 11.2% for the last 10 years and 8.7% for the last 20 years, with a return of 13.4% in the last 5 years.

S&P500: Since its inception in 1926, the index's compound annual growth rate—including dividends—has been approximately 9.8%

My sister and her kids have a better excuse for it than I would even search for to explain.

[merry stirrup]

i do not want 2 tiny cheese burgers from mcd for 9$

[random flame]

And that's really because... They're the only ones who eat McD's often.

[green marsh]

maybe in your place, here at best they offer you 1 euro off a 8 euro menu 😄

[random flame]

I... Personally don't stick to eating at any single place.

[young void]

Its just the occasional once a week free thing sometimes fries sometimes a drink

[merry stirrup]

they give free fries and allat its worth

[young void]

Butttt better then nothing if passing by. I know when I was hard up AM PM gas stores saved my life as a kid lol

[oak vector]

Damn jp and I have 1 mutual friend. That speaks volumes lmao.

[young void]

I blame the air fryer and the deep fryer i got

😂

[random flame]

O no .
XD

Funny, I actually have an air fryer.

[young void]

Best $100 ever spent between the two

[random flame]

Though I'm unironically the only one who rarely ever uses it.

My parents meanwhile find more stuff they can do with it than I can even justify.

It's just me and the toaster oven versus the rest of the kitchen at this point. Lol.

[young void]

XD

Also getting a bit older so my metabolism myte be slowing down not sure yet definitely one or both of those. And quitting cigs my appetite hasnt been nearly as suppressed

Can't run on nicotine and hatred with no nicotine. Replaced that first part with air fryed chicken patties

To clarify this is for peeps who cant afford food and are hungry

If you had no money something that could possibly put something in your stomach if not for a moment

[topaz veldt]

I don't have 6k AUD in my savings either

I work in US deez

Ya'll hear about Tiktok?

[young void]

Whats up with it? My lady uses it sometimes

[topaz veldt]

If the news is true, it may be wholly owned by the US soon

will be interesting

[random flame]

I have no real opinions on that, considering my opinion on Tiktok itself is a very low one.

[topaz veldt]

its less about the content and more about the platform

[young void]

Less wherever propaganda and more us propaganda keks

Us also tracks everything since the bush admin

[topaz veldt]

well less chinese revenue and more US revenue

$23B of revenue in 2024

[young void]

They will receive all the cookies and personal data

Probs gonna earn a pretty penny if they dont change to much

[turbid locust]

lol right?

[whole coral]

Coffee!

Just back coffee

[slim pebble]

Yeah. Only US companies are allowed to spy on us and manipulate people’s opinions and thoughts with subtle advertisements and video placement. 😆

[brisk jolt]

helldivers 2 has bugs spreading propaganda

[young void]

All just modern collesiums to entertain the masses similar to sports, why reinvent the wheel especially when provin effective

[topaz veldt]

We all know they do, but at least put the revenue in the US economy

[green marsh]

since when is revenue important ? You can have ton of reventue and be deep in loss (prime example OpenAI)

[turbid locust]

It’s all in your head

[steel stream]

nice

[lunar comet]

Just changed my front chassis fans do have to reset the bios fan curve?

[edgy laurel]

Up to you. If the new fans have a different RPM range, your old curve may or may not be suitable for you any longer.

[low sorrel]

Airpods pro 3 reviews are out

[frank zealot]

seems legit, I should absolutely call the random phone number about this charge:

[low sorrel]

Why is it French

[merry stirrup]

why arent you

[frank zealot]

sacre bleu! I cheezed moiself

[low sorrel]

Brut

[merry stirrup]

faire

[low sorrel]

Ah yes to do

[topaz veldt]

Since when is revenue important? Revenue is the first step to profit. Without revenue you have no potential profit. Today, all revenue goes to China. That's the importance.

Hmm might have to boycott Bethesda

[low sorrel]

What they do

Grummz (@Grummz)

I am being told that @bethesda just panic deleted this post.

Do you guys still see it?

Don't let them get away with it. If this was an edgy social media mgr they need to be fired, and a statement issued.

X · Sep 15, 2025, 3:13 PM

Can’t see it

[topaz veldt]

Can't see what

The video is in that thread

[livid flame]

Yeah it don’t load for me

[topaz veldt]

Nerdrotic (@Nerdrotics)

Bethesda thought it was a good idea to let us know how they feel about Charlie Kirk and anyone mourning him.

Now, let them know how you feel.

try that link I guess?

But uh yeah, kinda glad I didn't buy the new Indy game

The world is so lost

[livid flame]

Ah I see

I dont agree if it’s aimed at a particular person recently. It’s so vague it doesn’t mean it is. I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion. Would need more ingame context around just stroking a cat and putting out a generic phrase.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I am sure they're just randomly posting a 7 sec video about "liking fascists" and then panic deleting it and its 100% coincidence with whats going on in the world... you're prob right

https://tenor.com/view/umm-ok-um-okay-hmm-wait-gif-15827095

[low sorrel]

Imma be honest I do not care because I own like no Bethesda IPs

[topaz veldt]

Keep it that way they're apparently terrible

[livid flame]

Like I said if that’s the reason I don’t agree

[topaz veldt]

Details have dropped - producer at Bethesda on Bluesky was just disparaging the people, then posted that video. Wonder no more.

[pure garnet]

not buying a 15th copy of skyrim?

[low sorrel]

I've never played skyrim

[pure garnet]

i haven't finished it either

furthest i've made it is like the 3rd town or so

[slim pebble]

It was hilarious when Bethesda won a meme award for Starfield, then bragged about it.

[fringe vigil]

I spent too much on clothes today

[pure garnet]

hope the shawties like it

[slim pebble]

Gotta look good for the shawtays jorj

[topaz veldt]

I think Bethesda is trying to race to the bottom
