technology

[subtle hawk]

nah

[hexed citrus]

the most demanding thing I play is FS2020 on max settings

[subtle hawk]

cars kinda lame ngl

[hexed citrus]

I don't need a beast of a pc

if I need real oomph I can use servers for that

[subtle hawk]

my friend plays fs2020 at 4k max rt

😭

or something like that, he was flexing his 4090 so hard

[hexed citrus]

I also have a 4090

[subtle hawk]

so it's a high end pc

got it

[hexed citrus]

doe I use it to drive the triple monitor setup when I set them to act as one giant monitor

[maiden thorn]

Well, I have 4080 and I play GD

[maiden thorn]

Casual...

[subtle hawk]

i have a 3060 and play cod

not anymore but yeah

[maiden thorn]

Tripke monitor... Idk

[subtle hawk]

its cool

[maiden thorn]

I have two monitors: one 480Hz 1080p for GD and one 240Hz 2K for anything else

[subtle hawk]

i have a single 1080p 144hz

and a laptop screen

[maiden thorn]

I'm proud of you son

Really proud

[subtle hawk]

ty

but damn

480hz???

where do you buy that

sounds like modern tech

[hexed citrus]

it is

and it's stupid

[maiden thorn]

Well, yeah

[hexed citrus]

costs as much as a high refresh rate 4K display

for marginal gains

[subtle hawk]

so there's a diminishing point for refresh rate

[hexed citrus]

there very much is

[maiden thorn]

Bought an expensive thing just to play 2D platformer

[subtle hawk]

the most professional

i agree w u

[maiden thorn]

I needed refresh rate itself. Because GD phisics is bent to refresh rate

[subtle hawk]

ahaha yeah

friend told me that

[maiden thorn]

Not always, but usually, higher refresh rate makes the game easier

[hexed citrus]

artifically cap it

[subtle hawk]

hmmmm

sounds interesting

[maiden thorn]

Game's engine does not allow that

Well, I'd better sell it

[maiden thorn]

That's being said, wanna mention that 480 is not the last point for now. I saw 520Hz thing 💀

[subtle hawk]

WHAT

[maiden thorn]

But it was on fucking TN

[subtle hawk]

real

[maiden thorn]

Up to 480Hz you can meet IPS, after that point only TN (haven't checked for a long time, there could be options for now I guess)

[subtle hawk]

i see

that's cool

[glossy patrol]

Phone.

[glossy patrol]

*say 1440p

[maiden thorn]

I chose high end PC and I do not egret the choice.

[maiden thorn]

And what if I say it's 10:16 ratio with 1600 at the end huh?

Better follow YouTube steps: call it HD lmao

[glossy patrol]

Then say 1600p.

I'm currently doing work experience at a small repair shop. Really cool stuff

[maiden thorn]

Good to hear, mate

I have some experience in one of the biggest repair company in russia 🤔

For one week lmao 💀

[glossy patrol]

Not your mate, never will be.

[maiden thorn]

Okay 🤷‍♂️
I guess I'm too weak

And what do you repair in that repair shop?

I see, you're busy

Bruh, that's why I see iphone licker

Waiting for list of what you can repair, really interested in your abilities.

[glossy patrol]

???

[maiden thorn]

Don't ask, my country's stereotype

[glossy patrol]

I hate iPhones and hope to never have to daily drive one. I'm not an "iPhone licker", I'm just not biased to an extreme extent and can reason

[maiden thorn]

Glad to hear ir doesn't work for people abroad

[maiden thorn]

.

Really wonder, please, share

"Samsung informed they have less defective production on 3nm line. 60% good chips on Samsung's line while TSMC has only 55%"

Ye ye samsung, you are a bit too late

[subtle hawk]

haha yeah

i’m an iphone licker

[maiden thorn]

Bruh ×4 a day

Hope you'll get your sanity one day

[wispy quartz]

True

It's why Steve Jobs made sure the first Mac keyboard had only enough buttons for typing so he could make everyone use the mouse

After they fired him, they put the number pad back on

No function keys at all

No arrow keys

And the numpad was an additional attachment that back then in 1984 was $99 USD

Which today is $290.72

[maiden thorn]

I see modern apple still having that perfect shape of business

[wispy quartz]

More like bullshit shape

[maiden thorn]

Of course it is

[wispy quartz]

Their largest customers in the 1980s were schools and other educational institutions like community colleges and universities who could actually afford their exorbitant prices

Some people did have apple computers at home but they weren't very common because of their price

[maiden thorn]

Have never seen old apple pc personally

[wispy quartz]

Well

When my grandparents on my mom's side passed away and we had to take in all the stuff with names and addresses so they wouldn't be leaked, we inherited all the yearbooks my mom, aunt, uncles, and even my grandparents owned.

[maiden thorn]

I see

[wispy quartz]

And I actually have some yearbooks from the 1980s where you can see them going crazy for these computers because back when they used to offer typing classes in high schools, they always used typewriters, and their accompanying accessories and equipment they needed like witeout, ink and correction ribbons, and all that.

And with the computers, you didn't have to use witeout anymore because you could fix your mistakes before you printed.

which while typewriters had been able to do that with IBMs Selectric Correcting II, it was now a lot easier to do

Also, backspacing actually fixed your mistake in one key press

The IBM Selectric had to have the user press a correction mode button which would backspace to the error, and then have the user type the error character to have it lifted off the paper, then allowing you to type the correct character.

[maiden thorn]

Man how old are you

[wispy quartz]

18

I just love technology

[maiden thorn]

I'm 4,75 after all

Just remember I have birthday on 29th of February

[wispy quartz]

[maiden thorn]

So that's why I'm 4,75

[maiden thorn]

I wonder if you can analyze PCBs

Because I like that stuff

[wispy quartz]

I'll be learning that hopefully hehe

[maiden thorn]

And that's why I'm still waiting for repair-fix queen ittx's respond...

[maiden thorn]

Glad to hear that

[subtle hawk]

it’s ok Takao

i’ll enjoy being an apple iphone licker

[maiden thorn]

I aprecciate your choice

[mental dagger]

Lmao

[gloomy tinsel]

actually don't believe my friend go into apple academy just for getting Free iPhone 14 pm and M2 pro macbk

I said to her. its a dumb move

[subtle hawk]

sell it

free money

dw about it ittx you won't ever have to daily drive iphoens

androids will always exist and there'll always be someone to use them (me included)

[mental dagger]

Bruh, I'm locked out

It refused to read the card

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk i made my decision to get 1+11 not the R

Its 125$ below the MSRP

[valid sky]

Sheet

Dont tell me its not hotel

It would be nasty if its not a hotel xD

[mental dagger]

It's a hotel

My laptops in there

[valid sky]

Better, but just hope they wont be complicated regarding cards re-issue

[mental dagger]

I hope it won't.

"De-magnetized"

Now I know how to get in.

[valid sky]

xD

[subtle hawk]

let’s go

11 is good

[valid sky]

tried to justify the 11R

but its cut down by a lot (at least for me)

[subtle hawk]

it is rly

[valid sky]

So yeah

The 11 makes more sense to me

16GB/256GB

Both options

Next month im gonna buy it

[subtle hawk]

yeye

[slate cape]

[maiden thorn]

Idk

I bought 1Tb 970Pro

Due to it's reliability

[valid sky]

Im using my same 500GB 970 evo since 2019

And my old laptop uses my 5+ years old 250GB 870 EVO which still works perfectly fine

Yeah, Samsung SSDs/M.2s are so reliable

[slate cape]

Setting it up was apparently rather easy

Just that I'm an idiot and

[maiden thorn]

870 is another dude

[odd juniper]

eyyyyy windows 11 becoming more and more annoying

[subtle hawk]

It is

Super annoying

[slate cape]

I remeber using a software to delete all the bloatware and pop up notifications

[subtle hawk]

yes

[slate cape]

https://youtu.be/Afp8PJz6DVI

Yea this one

Its pretty good

Just that be careful with it

I deleted the popup for my snipping tool and it's kinda inconvenient to use now

[maiden thorn]

That's why I'm still sitting on 10 Pro

[glossy patrol]

Mmm

[maiden thorn]

They got pregnant

It's okay

Little battery will get out soon

[subtle hawk]

ah

@maiden thorn 😭

i had to transfer 190 gb of photos out of an iphone today

it's crushingly slow

i could feel myself aging

AND THE ISSUE IS, THE CONNECTION KEPT DROPPING

[maiden thorn]

Do you have

[subtle hawk]

SO I HAD TO RESTART

EVERY 30-40 MINUTES

[subtle hawk]

i have an android yes

[maiden thorn]

What A n d r o i d do you have

[subtle hawk]

oneplus 8t

the basic bitch phone

[maiden thorn]

Where is thunderbolt

[subtle hawk]

none 😂

faster than usb 2.0 at the end of the day

better than nothing

[subtle hawk]

wait

wait

wait

phones can have thunderbolt???

[maiden thorn]

Man what are doing with such amount of photoes

[maiden thorn]

No they don't

[subtle hawk]

3 years worth of photos

on my MAMA

moms phone

cuz her iphone filled up

[maiden thorn]

I mean

They can have Thunderbolt 3

[subtle hawk]

tasty

[maiden thorn]

But it's not thunderbolt for me since real thunderbolt starts at 4th numeration

[subtle hawk]

real tb starts at 3 for me

the 40gbps transfer

4 is basically 3 but on crack

something about 8k displays and stuff

i don't have a tb4 dock so i didn't bother learning about tb

what is the dabble doo is the naming scheme

[maiden thorn]

Little bit busy

Can't reply now

[subtle hawk]

all good

i'm falling asleep lol

[subtle hawk]

mac is genuinely struggling to scroll thru this folder of 26k files

💀

weak

[valid sky]

Bruh xD

[glossy patrol]

Piwwows

[valid sky]

I have some 10+ years old worn batteries and none of them did that

But i dont dare leaving them outside

Temps here easily hit 50C+

[glossy patrol]

There's no little silver contact for the cable on the screen on the right, near the home button cutout

One second

[glossy patrol]

Really bugging me. Not sure what to do

[valid sky]

Sadly idh any phone repair experience

@subtle hawk again, no IP rating is an issue

Feels like slightly better 11R

And costs more (because it’s limited version)….

Red color is a point of bullying too, but not as important as IP rating

[maiden thorn]

Same, I'm based on PSUs, GPUs and laptops a little bit

[valid sky]

My old laptop’s fixs were all done by me

I dont like dealing with repair shops for replacements xD

[mental coyote]

The RAM on that thing. Holy sheet.

[valid sky]

Yeah and the storage

But the rest is basically better 1+11R

It costs 650$

For limited version i’ll take it

It normally costs 900$

Chinese version global rom is a bit problematic

[mental coyote]

Well. There's always the US market. Sammy runs shit, Android-side. Other than that, you got mostly Moto & Google. Although, we are getting the Nothing 2.

[valid sky]

Motorola has good phones, but they are overpriced

Google Pixle phones didnt convince me

Nothing Phone 2 is well priced too

But OnePlus 11 has better specs for the same price (including shipping and VAT)

Xiaomi and Oppo and those phones are crap

Yes they give me SD 8 gen 2, but they take specs or cheap out somewhere else

[valid sky]

Samsung’s UI is heavy and thier flagships are out of my budget

And my usage could make mid range phone lag xD

[mental coyote]

Gaming too hard, eh?

[valid sky]

Nah, i stay in 40c+ for extended periods xD

[mental coyote]

Fair.

[valid sky]

My old gaming phone was too hot to touch, and doesnt throttle xD

Its not good, but if im stuck in the heat for long time i have no choice xd

Made SD 865+ hit 67c

[mental coyote]

Heh. Google Tensor ain't absolute shite, but it does run warm.

[valid sky]

That would be a problem

I dont want my phone to shut down or stop working for overheating xD

My Note 8 did that to me several times

Samsung Exynous never aged well to me xD

[mental coyote]

Frankly, I wish they'd just let TSMC fab their SoCs. Might help.

[valid sky]

It lasted for 3 years to be fair

But had to get another phone, because it got too annoying to usw

My Rog Phone 3 lasted for 2.5 years

And died due to humidity

[mental coyote]

Oof

[valid sky]

I live in a humid and hot area

So yeah IP rating is important

I dont want water proof phone since those run shit

Just something that can survive humidity

Thats one of the reasons i didnt got 1+11R nor that limited 1+ Ace 2 Genshin Impact edition

[mental coyote]

Humid and hot in the summer, here. But yer area definitely sounds worse.

[valid sky]

In the night it hits 40-44c xD

In the afternoon 46-48 is the norm

49-53 is normal, but hot

55c is too hot

East of Saudi Arabia is a furnace

In the winter its too cold despite it doesnt hit -ve temps

[mental coyote]

Sheesh. Pittsburgh barely hits the 30s, for Celsius.

[valid sky]

yeah, come here if you want to be cooked

In july-sep it becomes too humid

Even cars rust xD

so i dont blame my phone for dying

But it aged well for a phone that doesn’t have IP Rating

[subtle hawk]

No ip rating don't mean it can't withstand water

[valid sky]

Well, found another problem with it

A lot less 5G bands

Which could cause potential issues with 5G

I’ll stick to the 11

But that Ace 2 looks hot

IR blaster is super useful xD

Thats the only thing that 11R and Ace 2 beats the 11 with (expect the price)

[valid sky]

Seen 11R test, water got in, but no damage occured

I assume Ace 2 is the same since they use the same chassis

[subtle hawk]

Rawr

[valid sky]

Ace 2 GI edition box

It costs like 20$ less than the 11

I have delt with that site, so yeah ik its not a scam

And costs like 180$ more than regular Ace 2…..

But 18GB ram and 512GB could get handy

If it wasnt lack of many 5G bands i would’ve got it

OnePlus 11

OnePlus Ace 2

41 and 78 are used by my ISP i guess it doesnt matter in my case xD

All ISPs use 41 and 78

So 5G aint an issue

NSA sadly

Idk if they activated SA yet

[subtle hawk]

Yeye

[maiden thorn]

Flagship of AMD's server segment with 96 cores and more than 1 Gb cache has done it's work

Intel is dead at this performance point

[glossy patrol]

i7-4870HQ
2x970M SLI
3xM.2 2220(?) slots
1x2.5" bay
Four SODIMM DDR3L slots

Unsure about display spec

No battery/power adapter though

[maiden thorn]

Wow, now it's the best rofl from aSus

Nah, not quiet. The best rofl is still putting cheap Drmoses on VRAM power supplying

Just because I love the point:
If you get VRAM kicked through – both GPU chip and VRAM dies.

Thank you asus

Being the best, but only in prices

[valid sky]

Im more like MSI guy

They are shit in software tho (expect MSI Afterburner)

[glossy patrol]

I'm hoping the 970M's in this laptop aren't bunk and that it's just their drivers

[crystal sonnet]

I can go with any brand tbf, but now I'm vibing with Gigabyte and, sad to say this, EVGA.

tried ASRock but it isn't exactly my thing.

[hexed citrus]

why sad, EVGA was one of the best AIBs for GPUs

[crystal sonnet]

more like the business move they are going rn

their products are all rock solid

[hexed citrus]

they had no choice

[crystal sonnet]

yeh

[hexed citrus]

either keep being under nvidia's heel or peace out

[glossy patrol]

Clean

Now I need a battery and a 200-240W compatible charger

[hexed citrus]

get a USB-PD EPR charger

[glossy patrol]

It's an old laptop. Works via barrel jack

[subtle hawk]

get one then

tfw FOG is so accustomed to laptops having usbc ports

truly a moment of all time

[glossy patrol]

Yeah, except they're like £60

I'll try and look for a cheaper one or save up for such

[valid sky]

Also thier PSUs take lots of abuse

From experience

Im running mine at 50%+ load most of the time

I have RTX 3080 and RX 6800 XT under my radar

3080 would be too much on my 650w PSU with i5-11600KF

might get away with RX 6800 XT

[hexed citrus]

tfw you think laptops have only a primary method of charging

[subtle hawk]

lmfao what

had a laptop with barrel and usbc

i think bros a little bit too lost in his samsung phone

[hexed citrus]

yeah and you can charge with both

for most of them at the same wattage

do some research into the matter before being so confident

[subtle hawk]

ehh

i wouldn't expect an old gaming laptop to have EPR lol

the laptop i had only did 180w barrel and 65w charger

[hexed citrus]

check when EPR extension was approved

[subtle hawk]

2021

and, it's a 4th gen intel

what are we getting at?

https://www.ul.com/insights/240w-usb-c-cable-performance-testing-and-safety-considerations

[hexed citrus]

no lmao

[subtle hawk]

ah

i see

i don't get what you're talking about

but i just won't expect an old gaming laptop to have that

that EPR thing

[glossy patrol]

Yeah, no, this laptop would not have 240W USB-C charging. The vast majority of even modern devices don't, that use a barrel (or something else) as primary and happen to have a power-capable -C too

[subtle hawk]

gaming laptops are made for cheap 😂

they're joyful little devices

[subtle hawk]

took a look at the fold 4

or whatever it is

it looks okay

[hexed citrus]

the issue is not in the host

for EPR it's difficult to find good cables that are indeed electronically marked and chargers capable of that

[glossy patrol]

This laptop was worth 2K at release. Jesus

[hexed citrus]

don't mind @subtle hawk he's blissfully unaware of technological nuances

[maiden thorn]

Lab PSU huh?

[subtle hawk]

bro what

[glossy patrol]

?

[subtle hawk]

nothing

just confused

i’m not seeing any explanation on these “technological nuances”

mans expects EPR on a old laptop

and doesn’t tell me why that it’s actually possible

[maiden thorn]

Me when EPR is being seen

Russian please

[subtle hawk]

i want to see it

i don’t see it anywhere

[maiden thorn]

Nuclear powerplant

[hexed citrus]

USB PD EPR

as in extended power range

[subtle hawk]

not on an old laptop, no

[maiden thorn]

Not on new one as well

[hexed citrus]

a lot of laptops have it since 2017

[maiden thorn]

Who the hell give that shitty desk more power?! Cut it off with your hands if it has EPR 💀

[subtle hawk]

those 2000 dollar office laptops yeah

[maiden thorn]

It's a laptop, it deserves only power limit, not extended power ranges

[subtle hawk]

if they can cheap it with a barrel plug, i think they’d do that

please just list me a laptop with EPR

[hexed citrus]

takao if you've got nothing but troll comments just go back to washi general or smth

[hexed citrus]

it's not "cheap"

the barrel plug is just more efficient as you do not need to do this protocol handshake to give it more power

[subtle hawk]

but EPR needs ucbc, right?

[hexed citrus]

the bricks acts like a glorified bench PSU with the laptop power management IC handing the current draw and regulation

[hexed citrus]

generally speaking yes

[maiden thorn]

Ah, this thing

[hexed citrus]

but you can run it over any pair of wires and connectors you want

[maiden thorn]

Lenovo legion 7 2022

[subtle hawk]

ty

[maiden thorn]

Or better say

16IAX7

[subtle hawk]

interesting

[hexed citrus]

remember that PD is also backwards compatible

so if ur charger and cable isn't EPR or PPS capable it'll still be able to charge but at lower wattages

[subtle hawk]

fair

[maiden thorn]

I wonder if there is a supervisor in laptops' PSUs (well, I've never opened up one)

[hexed citrus]

no

it's just a dumb PSU

[valid sky]

Seems like we can run an entire PC or eGPU with USB-C Cable

Ofc not gaming PC

“This PSU doesnt work for gaming idk why” I DONT KNOW WHY EITHER does anyone know?💀💔

[subtle hawk]

mmmm

external ssd absolutely mashing my mac rn

entire interface stutters and lags yum

apps don’t boot up properly with it plugged in

i also had one of these horrible act-no-good drives before

a lexar 16gb usb that would slow down a pc to the point of no use

instantly works once i unplug the drive tho 🤷‍♂️

so that’s the issue i don’t know why

might refund the enclosure if it fails this hard at its job

[subtle hawk]

like it's genuinely startling how plugging in an ssd would cause the system to slow to barely a crawl

gonna use my mothers usb drive to flash this nvme

god, it's painful

[subtle hawk]

it worked 😂

i used a windows device to flash to exfat, and i can finally use it

gonna use exfat now, gotta pray for an actual usable file system 🙏

[valid sky]

I have one bad HDD that does that

I got USB to SATA adapter

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

They suck hard

[valid sky]

Maybe i can re-purpose my 250GB 870 Evo with it

Since i stopped using that old laptop after i graduated

And it costs way too much to refurbish it

Only valueable parts it had is 8GB LPDDR3 and 250GB SSD

Otherwise its in really bad shape xD

Broken screen
Dead webcam
Dead AMD R7 M260 2GB
Bluetooth doesnt work
Battery got replaced with lower Mah
Female DC Jack got replaced
Some keys are popped off
It shuts off when i bump it

[subtle hawk]

haha

yeah

charging 2 iphones from a mac

truly an applesheep moment of all time

wish they'd supply more than 12w tho

[maiden thorn]

Oh sup the fold what must delete itself

[subtle hawk]

Thank God...

I finally see a phone that is not disturbed with on screen camera again...

(It's ROG... -_- Bruh)

I loved this kind of design but I do genuinely wish cheaper phone adapts to this later

[maiden thorn]

Where is Y mode

[subtle hawk]

Y mode? IDK

[subtle hawk]

I mean, see the white circle

my main focus is I wish there is more phone that returns the bezel for cameras so... Even if it is not 100% Bezeless, my screen is notch free

[maiden thorn]

That's a good wish man

[valid sky]

Was the best phone i ever used (until it died)

I prefer full Bezel more than punch hole

[valid sky]

Well, now idk if i should continue using my XR until something like this comes xD

[subtle hawk]

same with me with my Vivo V15

[valid sky]

Well XR is getting frustrating to use xD

3GB of ram thats always full

I leave discord for 10 seconds i come back it restarted

Same happens with whatsapp

Azur Lane i go to reply on something in WhatsApp i come back the game restarted

[subtle hawk]

My vivo in other hand, starts to lag at FB and messenger rn

[valid sky]

Well, yeah….

I guess punch hole is there to stay for some while

Its still better than notch

As long as that punch hole camera isnt in the middle of the screen, im fine xD

[subtle hawk]

Both notch and punch hole yeah...

I don't like them, I rather full bezzel but eh? beggars cannot be chosers

[valid sky]

Same as me

But in the flagship markets since im forced to have one of them

Its gonna be cornered punch hole

iPhone is completely out of my budget, so yeah….

[glossy patrol]

You act as if it's some old custom that for some reason isn't adopted. It's relatively new. Just wait.

[subtle hawk]

Hmmmm.... it is not that new

old phones have that

I mean the front side

the back is the new ones

[glossy patrol]

Oh, I thought that was an under-screen
Nah, fuck having a random unneeded bezel. People are so god damn weird with liking bezels that intrude more than a holepunch, but then complain about hole-punches being more intrusive

[subtle hawk]

bezels like that keeps the screen square...

I don't talk that half bezel

I talk about the old fashioned ones

Hole punches really intrusive IMO

Again, IMO

to each to their own they said

[valid sky]

Im gonna try punch hole, and see xD

Notch is shit

And VERY LARGE bezels are shit

As long as punch hole isn’t in the center and its small enough i think i can live with it

If its in the center its gonna be annoying for sure

[maiden thorn]

Ypu haven't felt zen yet

Because I have some apps just crash because of ram

[valid sky]

Happens to me a lot

Never had such issues with 12GB rams

I leave apps open for days and works fine

[maiden thorn]

My brother won't forgive me if I buy new phone instead of keep earning for car

So anything I can do is...

Chill with this

I'm writing to you now, and I'm sure I must load AL again

Well, then it's better to boot up laptop

[subtle hawk]

Same

I use the punch hole too

It's not bad, especially when you consider the borders it removes

[subtle hawk]

Yes

[valid sky]

Thats always me xD

[crystal sonnet]

btw

can we get to IP68 without the use of the annoying adhesives?

Mostly because most manufacturers tend to go to that direction for "water resistant" obsession

iirc watch makers can easily do so by relying on O-rings and seals.

then again watches are a different breed and are not electronics

[hexed citrus]

obv

screws work just fine

or hell even plastic clips

[crystal sonnet]

the pain with clips is that manufacturers can't even be arsed to invest on extra molds to make them, while they can throw ez money on adhesives.

I remember an old phone I used had small foam on the back cover

[subtle hawk]

excuses for adhesive

it can be achieved with those rubber seals

[mental dagger]

Finally done with this assignment.

[subtle hawk]

nice

[valid sky]

Cars done this for long time in some parts

Heck even SIM card tray has that rubber thing xD

It's hard for me to follow along indian lectures, unless they have a PowerPoint presentation on the topic.

[subtle hawk]

i'm wondering, do hdmi cables work

i have an hdmi high-speed cable, could i be able to send 4k60 over it?

[viral lintel]

not if its ver 1.4

[subtle hawk]

ah

thanks

i think i see

yeah highspeed should be 1.3 or 1.4

[ashen zodiac]

ngl if they offered the hu tao one, i would have probably gotten it instead of my S23

nvm bundle looks worse than the Hu Tao one lol

[rare herald]

black color laptop has a i7 7700HQ and a GTX 1050
sliver color laptop has a i7-10510U and a NVIDIA GeForce MX250

Both a quad core CPUs

[glossy patrol]

Pretty good then

Yeah, I know

[rare herald]

But problem is both laptops will definitely going to be needing new drives, new power bricks and possibly a complete rebuild

[glossy patrol]

Yeah, I need a new battery and power adapter for the laptop I got from work too.

[rare herald]

The black one is a old legion gaming laptop

[subtle hawk]

legions strong

[valid sky]

Seems like one of my early programming assignments xD

It was in java sadly, since my university didnt adapted python until recently

[mental dagger]

I found this assignment a bit difficult. But I've gained and learn quite a lot from it.

[valid sky]

Yeah, it’s difficult since you use a lot of newly learned concepts for you

Later it will be piece of cake

[mental dagger]

Thankfully, I'm almost done with the class. We have a few more to go.

I think the next programming language I need to prepare for is C# since it's the only elective I can take for next year summer

[valid sky]

I used C# as part of my senior design project

I needed to make information comes from Arduino as something graphical

Its not difficult to learn (at least for me who almost tried most of programming languages)

I used C family, Python, Java, PHP, HTML, Typescript, React, MySQL and more that i dont recall xD

[mental dagger]

There's C family?

[valid sky]

I mean

C, C++ and C#

C is very traditional

[mental dagger]

Oh

[valid sky]

C# is close to Java

C++ i used to program microcontrollers

Im a Computer Engineer, so yep i went through a lot of programming languages during my studying xD

C# and Python and PHP i learned on my own

Assembly is the most frustrating so far

[mental dagger]

I can't remember what assembly was used for

[subtle hawk]

near binary

lowest level language or something

[valid sky]

Yep

It can get really frustrating sometimes

[subtle hawk]

NEVER

EVER

LEARN THAT HORROR

please for the love of god

a compiler can do it better

[valid sky]

Unless you are forced to xD

Like i was

[subtle hawk]

yeah hhahaha

it's just torture

[valid sky]

I learned it twice

[mental dagger]

Yikes. I planned on learning it regardless.

[valid sky]

Once for x86 and once for ARM

[subtle hawk]

😭

depressing

[valid sky]

ARM is less frustrating

[subtle hawk]

well it is simpler

[valid sky]

For x86

[subtle hawk]

the architecture

[valid sky]

I needed 30-50 lines just to do simple thing

Yeah it’s frustrating

[mental dagger]

Yeah, maybe I'll just stay away from it. If I can..

[subtle hawk]

gonna end up being a masochist learning assembly

[valid sky]

Yeah xD

Java was good, but it was super resource hug

[subtle hawk]

yeye

[valid sky]

Bad coding could easily dominate your PC xD

[subtle hawk]

hence hard to work on java minecraft or something

idek

i don't code, but it seems hard

[valid sky]

Once i did a bad coding, CPU 100% Memory useage 8/8GBs

[subtle hawk]

💀

[valid sky]

I was barly able to stop it from eating my laptop

[subtle hawk]

mans did not end the loop

[mental dagger]

I have to learn code, since it goes towards my degree

[subtle hawk]

ah i see

[valid sky]

Computer Science?

[subtle hawk]

i want to learn it so i can play with this certain hobby i have

python

[mental dagger]

Yeah

[valid sky]

Nice

[subtle hawk]

comp sci is deadly

go for it tho

worth it trust

[valid sky]

Computer Engineering is more deadly

[subtle hawk]

anything with enginerring is

[valid sky]

Since you go through everything INCLUDING electrical parts

[subtle hawk]

wowie

[mental dagger]

I have these three classes that are coming soon, that I can't wait to do.

[subtle hawk]

personally i can wait

[valid sky]

I learned Linux as part of my Operating Systems course

[mental dagger]

I kind of like Linux more than Windows

[valid sky]

Which was fun course, but the lecturer loves filling it with useless info

[subtle hawk]

i like macos over windows

[valid sky]

Yes it is

[valid sky]

I tried it once

Feels close to linux

[subtle hawk]

yeah

but more user friendly and has more GUI's

the terminal is great ngl

[valid sky]

Idk about resources useage, since i havent used it in depth

[subtle hawk]

yeah

i'm gonna do something funny today now

talk to y'all later

[valid sky]

Windows could be super resource hug

In some occasions

[mental dagger]

Cya

[valid sky]

Also its full of Bloatware

[valid sky]

HF

[mental dagger]

Luckily I found an eighth edition without spending

[subtle hawk]

back

[rare herald]

[subtle hawk]

ye

[subtle hawk]

ok

so idk if it fits here

but i was able to get a copy of roblox on apple silicon

first thing you'd do would be to unlock the fps with robloxclientoptizer, right?

unfortunately, RCO fork for mac wouldn't work, because it triggers roblox to create another app of itself within the app

the way to get it working would be to do it the windows way, by unzipping the .app and creating a folder "ClientSettings" in the folder "MacOS"

drop in the ClientAppSettings.json, and it shouldn't self destruct after a reboot

[maiden thorn]

[valid sky]

Is that course you are taking or university requirement?

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk finally bought it

I just hope that site still doesn’t charge me taxs

I got my Rog Phone 3 from them before only paying UAE’s tax

Even if i paid tax, its the only site that offers a warranty for OnePlus devices in the ME

[mental dagger]

Yeah, I just wanted to avoid the cost.

The instructors at the college I'm attending, have books that we're required to use.

[subtle hawk]

It's july

It was supposed to be released this month officially

It isn't

So I just found one from forums

F You Rosetta 2

[valid sky]

I see

Its solid material compared to my old university

Our material is mostly super outdated

And security is mostly about encryption/ decryption

Which is kinda annoying

[subtle hawk]

ios 17 dev beta 4 out

pog

it's just a few days behind standard stable release

[mental dagger]

Outdated material can be useful, kinda.

[valid sky]

My iPhone is full

At least once my OnePlus arrives i can sort it out xD

I just hope they wont charge me that 110$ tax

[valid sky]

Well, at least it teachs you the basics

I ordered my old 512GB 12GB ram Rog Phone 3 for less than 1000$

And i wasn’t charged tax

VAT here is 15%

It hurts xD

[subtle hawk]

tax 😭

[subtle hawk]

12% here or something

[valid sky]

It was 0% in 2018-2020 its 5%

I was okey with 5% xD

[subtle hawk]

[valid sky]

2020+ its 15%

It hurts xD

[subtle hawk]

seems so

[mental dagger]

The Instructor is chill

[subtle hawk]

nice

[subtle hawk]

games

can’t run two of them at the same time

truly a mac moment

[mental dagger]

started using packet tracer. It's very fun.

[valid sky]

Only one instructor that behaved like this to me xD

[valid sky]

Planning on getting CCNA?

also

Packet tracer can be very frustrating

It has a lot of glitches

Especially on big networks

Its fun to play with yeah

But not when you make large network

[mental dagger]

Yeah, might as well since I want to be an Network engineer.

[valid sky]

Nice

[mental dagger]

Glitches?

[valid sky]

Sometimes network misbehave

Like it seems like it doesnt work

When you restart the app it works xD

[mental dagger]

Bruh

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk if OnePlus phone isnt good im gonna kill you xD

It arrived in my country, still not ready to be claimed

[mental dagger]

I'm using a OnePlus, and after last year update, I want a new one.

[valid sky]

I just ordered 1+11

16GB 256GB version

Its the best phone i could find in its price xD

[mental dagger]

Lol

[valid sky]

I found Xiaomi and Oppo phones more expensive

And they got 12GB of ram

SD 8+ Gen 1

Not 8 gen 2

[mental dagger]

That's better than my n200

At least

[valid sky]

And they cheap out in key components…..

Which is worse

[mental dagger]

Nvm

[valid sky]

Im quite a device tourturer so midrange phones kinda doesnt work for me xD

Once i touch a device it lags xD

[mental dagger]

How does that even happen?

[valid sky]

Idk

I used my cousin’s i3 first gen laptop

Which works fine to them

Once i used it it lagged and fans went to 100%

My cousin was like: DID YOU HACK IT?!

[mental dagger]

Lmao

[valid sky]

iPhone XR used for 4 months only its already lagging

and full on storage xD

[mental dagger]

I remember back in highschool my friend's mouse wasn't working and he tried every USB port on the desktop, and when the teacher used it, it magically started working for him.

[valid sky]

Its my useage, and i dont think im gonna change it

[valid sky]

Seems like thats me

[mental dagger]

Lol

Speaking of usage. I have way too many applications I don't use on my device.

[valid sky]

Same here, but i end up using them again

[mental dagger]

That is true. I need some of them, even though I barely use them.

[valid sky]

Well, apps such as governmental apps

I use them rarely

But they are nessesary

[hexed citrus]

have fun with packet tracer

I got to CCIE and well can't say that they really helped much

[mental dagger]

Do you have any recommendations that'll help with studying for the CCNA?

[hexed citrus]

actually understanding the reason why things are done the way they are done and what led up to that

and not just parroting the information in the courses

[mental dagger]

Understandable.

[mental dagger]

[glossy patrol]

Lmao

[subtle hawk]

bros shook

[mental dagger]

I don't think it's worth $1.4k

[subtle hawk]

it was never 1.4k

they display high price

sell low

fake discount and allat BS

tbf it’s worth less than 400 dollars

[mental dagger]

I say it should be around $170-200

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[valid sky]

Seems like a chromebook with Windows OS installed in it xD

I tried one PC with Celeron installed in it, it was unuseable

[mental dagger]

There was a "gaming laptop" I saw that runs chrome OS

I don't even know how it's possible to play games using chrome operating system.

[subtle hawk]

remote gaming

it’s so wack

googles on something

[mental dagger]

I am very lucky that this is running successfully.

imma turn off the neon colors, because it's too flashy and it's making my laptop lag

[subtle hawk]

WAIT

LINUX ON WINDOWS???

that’s mental

[lilac spindle]

you don't know about WSA?

wait sorry WSL

[hexed citrus]

kali linux
tell me you're a skid without telling me you're a skid

[hexed citrus]

WSA is also a thing

[lilac spindle]

Yeah I know about WSA

I just mixed up both

[hexed citrus]

it's stupid that it's behind amazon's app store

[lilac spindle]

Kind of makes sense when you see that google is making their own Google play for desktop which would be one of the main competitors for the amazon app store in WSA

[hexed citrus]

not really

it still uses WSA under the hood in win11

or HyperV if u don't have WSA

and it's only limited to games that explicitly implemented x86 support

[valid sky]

Better than any Emulator i ever used tbh

Not as laggy as BlueStacks

But Google Services requires modified WSA….

Well, seems like WSA is a VM thats why

It works in much different way than Emulators if im not wrong

[subtle hawk]

what

ok

[hexed citrus]

most people that actually use kali linux will not show it off nor daily drive it, let alone run it as one of the WSL enviroments

[subtle hawk]

fair point

[mental dagger]

I just need it so I can learn Linux

[valid sky]

I used it once because it was part of security course

Its not very suitable for daily driving

My 2nd laptop has Ubuntu Linux OS

[subtle hawk]

oneplus might not fit you

but it’s cheap enough for the specs

that’s the same for me

it works because it’s an android

[little seal]

I keep getting a bad MOBO and this is the third time it's happened, so pissed rn. Heard it had something to do with the version of the MOBO. They where all new in the box too

[slate cape]

i finally got a new mouse (logitech g304)

and its so good

[mental dagger]

Darn.

That's only because I lack the knowledge of iphone capabilities.

[subtle hawk]

the g304??

oh it's just a g305

but for different regions

my bad yo

i love the g304/305

i have one too

[subtle hawk]

I made a website that makes riddles. Today I tried to add some personality

[mental dagger]

Woohoo freeish azure acc

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk damn the 1+11 camera is so good

[mental dagger]

The quality and lighting makes it look beautiful

[subtle hawk]

oh

that's good

my 8t hasn't got the best camera

[valid sky]

I just received my 1+11 today

[subtle hawk]

I see

[valid sky]

At least i wasnt asked to pay 110$ in tax xD

[subtle hawk]

💀💀

that's good

OnePlus phones drop value quick

but they're a solid package

[valid sky]

i dont sell my phones

[subtle hawk]

I think the 8t can be had for like 300 bucks

💀

I bought it original price

[valid sky]

so idc about re-sell value

I got mine for 720$ (with shipping)

16GB 256

[subtle hawk]

my oneplus 8t is one of the models which use lpddr4x

some 8ts have lpddr5

[subtle hawk]

usd?

[valid sky]

Yep

Not 720 less xD

[subtle hawk]

Fair

that's around the same price as mines

[valid sky]

711$

[subtle hawk]

1099 cad

[valid sky]

Shipping included

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[valid sky]

And only paid UAE’s TAX

[subtle hawk]

tax and shipping

[valid sky]

I FEEL ALIVE again after iPhone XR

[subtle hawk]

well OnePlus is great

first android phone

good impressions

[valid sky]

Hassleband camera is so good

[subtle hawk]

yes on god

[valid sky]

The phone looks less beautiful that photos but still

Its such beautiful phone

[subtle hawk]

Mines 8t has wacky colours

so I use my iPhone more

[valid sky]

my iPhone is pretty worn down xD

[subtle hawk]

haha yeah

[valid sky]

5 years of usage

[subtle hawk]

my sister's xr is worn to death

[valid sky]

I always had it as backup phone

[subtle hawk]

shattered back, broken face id

[valid sky]

And i wont stop using backup Phones xD

[subtle hawk]

after 4 years, it's still at 89% health

[valid sky]

At least having backup phone is a clutch

[subtle hawk]

yes

when one dies

another's up

[valid sky]

Yep

I was gonna sell my iPhone XR before my Rog Phone 3 decided to die

[subtle hawk]

nuh uh

never sell phones

[valid sky]

I was

I never did

[valid sky]

Wont do after this experience

[subtle hawk]

battery health is doing alright

[valid sky]

I still havent migrated my shit to the 1+11

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[valid sky]

Im in process of migrating

[subtle hawk]

some apps that read the battery might not work

cuz dual cell

that's how it fast charges

[valid sky]

The charging brick the came with the phone is a brick xd

Sadly i got it with EU plug

My house is UK plug

[subtle hawk]

oh yeah it's huge

wait can you send photo

[valid sky]

I wont use it regardless

[subtle hawk]

im curious what they send

[valid sky]

I got 65w charger

[subtle hawk]

ah

usb a to usbc?

or usbc to usbc

[valid sky]

The one that came is A to C

[subtle hawk]

😭

[valid sky]

80w charger

[subtle hawk]

ah

mines is c to c 65

[valid sky]

My main one is Chinese 85w charger

But USB C to C gives 65w max

[subtle hawk]

ugreen gan 65w

[valid sky]

My Chinese charger is also GaN

It takes a lot less space

[subtle hawk]

40 bucks I think

mym

[valid sky]

Going back to android is like going back to life xD

At least for me

[subtle hawk]

it's responsive

android is rly responsive

[valid sky]

Yeah xD

I wish i got it yday tho

So i can picture last night’s movie better

Oppenheimer

[subtle hawk]

boppenheimer

good movie

[valid sky]

Yeah

3h, but passed quickly

My cousin in the movie;

https://tenor.com/view/krule-john-c-reilly-what-face-reaction-gif-16881707

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk check the brick size

100W brick

[subtle hawk]

god

[valid sky]

Freaked out when it went to Japanese language as default xD

Now it's back to English

Shit, OnePlus also has its own charging standard

My Chinese charges does 16W max xD

The charger that came with it can do 100W

will only use it when im in rush

There is a function that I missed with Samsung and it's available with 1+

Side widget

Seems like I'm not missing much

[valid sky]

Even with the normal 16W charing speed

It does charge fairly quick

[mental dagger]

I miss that one feature where you could change the apps name 😦

for my oneplus nord200

[valid sky]

I will wait for it to fully charge

Then i will migrate to it

[mental dagger]

Should I use a while or for loop

[valid sky]

I would go for while since the input is mixed

You can use for loop too

[severe falcon]

i usually stick to for loops unless i have no way of knowing how many times it needs to iterate

[valid sky]

There is freedom, unless the instructor forces you to use a certain method

OR you care about efficiency

[mental dagger]

As long as it executes correctly, then he's fine with it.

[valid sky]

In that case, use the method that you are most comfortable with

[severe falcon]

the efficiency case also depends on the language

cuz the compiler might not care which one you use, itll just do the same exact thing in either case

[mental dagger]

The language were using is Python.

[severe falcon]

oh in that case there is no compiler and python absolutely doesnt care about efficiency

it will do literally exactly what you tell it

[valid sky]

In this particular question it doesn’t seem to matter

Assuming you implement them the same way

[subtle hawk]

python at the end of the day

is just python

it'll run whatever you give it

it's great

[valid sky]

Damn bro, I'm in love with the camera

[subtle hawk]

it’s good

[wispy quartz]

Hot take: me and my dad agree that if you don't know anything about the history of the bomb or the end of the war in general, the movie probably won't be for you

[subtle hawk]

ye
