im in eu and i dont think my s4 had the exynos
i havent used samsung for quite a few years now though, been using nokia lumia, oneplus and huawei since my bad experience with the samsung galaxy phone
Nokia Lumia
Oh god
Antique phones
Anyway 1+ and Huawei are made for flashing roms over and over and over because why not
Do it at home, on a toilet, at school, hell, even when at a date, just flash Pie already
actually, huawei have locked down their recovery completely now, you cant officially unlock it anymore
F
Xiaomi has halfway blocked the recovery by setting a timer
While Samsung is just to flip 2 switches, get a custom recovery through odin and youre good to go
Also, SafetyNet AL integration when?
huawei used to let anyone unlock the recovery of their phones but they cancelled that earlier this year
Actually, Sammy's locking shit down more, too. Look at the j727a, for example. Can't even oem unlock this bastard.
As for safety net? Yer best bet's stock rom rooted w/ magisk. My tab's a t580, & I don't have SN issues.
Huawei p8 lite 2017 is kinda scam, it sais 32 GB storage, sadly the os is not calculated into that, but no problem right? You can still put your apps on micro SD, but wait... nooo, they removed the feature that let's you move your apps
that gives the phone a pretty bad touch
but what should you expect from a 111€ phone these days🤷
Just go for Xiaomi lmao
I bought a year ago the Huawei P10 Pro, I'm really happy with it, though it doesn't have a Snapdragon CPU, Kirin ones are still decent 
How could I live with a phone that doesn't let you unlock the thingies
it is fine for me except i cant uninstall the bloatware huawei included on my phones tiny 16gb internal flash storage so i dont have the space to install the emui 8.0 update, im stuck on 7.x
Anything less than 32 nowadays (or 16+Adoptable Storage) is fucking criminal. Damn OEM bloat and base OS take 8Gb or so, anymore.
try 12gb for oem bloat + android system files, i can put in an sd card in my phone but i cant put apps on it
My S4 had exynos
@subtle hawk we should steal these commands for Z23 
oh geez
Please, I want to hug her 
what is this dick sticking on the back of the case
asus maximum hero X i think
oof
im on 16GB ram 1080ti i7 8700k
when i was 16gb ddr3, az97 dogshit mobo, 980ti
had the same case by the 3 year old version
all this so i can run VR
properly
but now im playing AL over VR 
i heard 2k gpu series is just better for VR
but doesnt perform better than 1080ti in normal games
while at the same time, theres no VR that 1080ti cant run since we didnt advance in VR that much yet

@languid saddle Kirin is decent for causing forest fires
Lmaoo
What kind of AMD FX is this? 
Also, why would you use a 2080 Ti to farm bitcoins tho
I would like to make a refrigeration system with a Peltier Cell, it's really cheap and gives good temperatures 
voltage sensor on core voltage is broken on my cpu/board though
I feel you
this is why im not running over 4.2ghz on my cpu... i used to run it at 4.5ghz but it was so hot running at 1.25v so i took it down to 4.2ghz at 1.215v
i know and it does everything i want out of it at 4.2ghz anyway so
for example my 8086K runs at 5.5GHz at 1.33 V
and that's the upper limit
ofc I can push it further to 5.7
but I'll go into dangerous territory of 1.4
but it runs p chill
i could do 4.7 on mine if i pushed 1.3v but on an ivy bridge... thats going to be VERY toasty
what cooler do you have on
h100i atm, im thinking of switching to a dark rock pro 3 or something since my pc is running 24/7 which isnt good for aio's
who told you that lie
the liquid in the aio's gets hotter over time from my experience, i can be as cold as room temp (~15c) when i just start up my system after being away for some time but a week later or so, it idles at 45c
yes but my idle temps are rising constantly due to it running 24/7
and because the heat transfer rate of the surfaces is smaller than the transfer rate of the liquid it gains heat over time
basic law of thermodynamics
it will rise up to a point
it can't just climb indefinitely
it shouldnt idle at 55-60c after a month of use, the radiator is cleaned
mine idles at 25 C
but I have a very agressive fan curve
and the ambient is about 10
i have a static fan curve at 75%
100% is too loud with the noctua ppc-3000 fans
can barely hear it
unless I take off the headset
3000 RPM is like a car purr compared to 40.000 RPM fans
well ofc... delta fans are delta fans...
I have to use actual soundproofing to keep it relatively quiet
I used to have a FX, the thermal sensor of that shit it's really wrong
Below 15 ºC at idle, wtf, even with OC.
The only way to read the temperatures of a FX correctly is with AMD Overdrive or heat it to 45ºC and then check the temperatures from there
amds temperature sensor on the bulldozers were more accurate at higher temps iirc
Yeah
whats this place about
Tech
yea i keep forgetting that exists


I think Grub Boot it's better, not sure
Also Arch Linux is superior to other distros except Gentoo, Slackware and LFS


How the fuck it's gonna die one of the best O.S to program? 
something about the devs about to kill linux if the sjw ceo of linux whatevs wont stop being ass
which could pretty much destroy the world
since lots uses linux
We don't discuss Coraline Ada. Seriously, don't fill my Tension Gauge this early.
Also. The very nature of GNU/Linux as an open source OS guarantees that it will get forked if shit gets too fucktarded.
Hell, take Systemd as an example. You know how many alternatives there are to that shit?
don't even get me started on systemd
OpenRC4Life
It is, but Poettering et al need to define an endpoint, and just stick with compatibility from then on.
Too much of a moving target, atm ... and as such, a fucking huge attack surface.
I won't say it's so vulnerable
I mean all major cloud providers are using it
so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But you see my point, at least. They gotta quit bolting more shit on.
can somebody delete coraline from this world
im so tired of political agenda pushed in nearly every media i follow
Folks like that are like Bebe's Kids. They don't die, they multiply.
I'll need to wait out at least 2 weeks to replace my stock cooler.
I mean it still sits flat but better safe than sorry.
Was just installing it and then clatters. A captive washer with no threads flat out fell out.
Mounting screw fell out next.
Gotta say installing an AMD cooler requires much more force than intel.
o_O
You need to push the screw down hard before screwing in
Unlike the mounting clips on Intel
@unborn flicker godspeed to you
also grub is potato
and you don't need it specifically for both windows and linux
I have it running with another bootloader and it works just fine
I just have to select it when the computer POSTs
I have 2 spare 80 gig drives that I asked from my comp sci teacher
One SATA, one PATA.
Installing the PATA drive is out of the question since the PATA to SATA converter would stick out too far
Still finding an use for the other drive.
I want one of those old hard drives that when it spins up it sounds like it's about to cut your head off cleanly
10k RPM baybee
not even
We ran across this OLD school GIANT 23 GB hard drive, we took the cover off to check it out and powered it up! Sounds like a jet engine taking off! We were k...
this thing
I love old tech in general.
Have a few floppy disks just because
oof
Well thank god I grew up with an old as hecc P4 system
Then one day the mobo suddenly decided to fry itself
i have a p4 system right next to me
but do you have a original 8086 system?
oh boi
Still don't know why to this day, but I remember long beeps from the speaker and a burning smell.
Holy shit 8086?!
my dudes learn x86-16 assembly at uni and they use QEMU to run their code
and I'm like
native hardware boiiiis
And here I just want a Celeron 300 for display
Heard that thing OC'ed like a beast back in the day
my professor was like "how in the world do you have that thing?"
Oh hello there https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Celeron-300MHz-SL2X8-Vintage-CPU-TOP-cond/253634105746?hash=item3b0dc55192:g:ZDYAAOSwkLJbAJCH:rk:1:pf:0
in working condition?
I mean it won't really matter much to me if it is busted or not.
Also a few 486DXs on auction.

On the other hand of the spectrum is the 4004.
900 dollars.
also in russia some people can sold on avito (sorta russian ebay) old working or not pcs for a beer/100-500 rub
Damn, now I wanna grab some of these
but there's no auction thing on avito
хорошое пиво))))
Gotta find a good spot for 'em first
So I wanna get into coding (got prior exp. with Scratch of all things)
Anything I should know?
made a few bullet hell games. fun times
oof
Indeed it does
Ancient Alien Technology
Anyone here still have an IBM PC?
yo
is that a old panasonic phone?
those things are like the nokia of the landline phones
Damn.
it's not like very old, but these home telephone-line phones aren't popular now cuz of mobiles and that shit
and also that pc always reminds me a bad time i had with second-hand videocards
got this case+mobo+2 agp gpus+all kinda stuff except hdds
school was like throwing this thing out
first gpu was tnt2m64 w/ 16mb vram and the second was gigabyte 7600gs (agp ver.) w/ passive cooling
tnt was failing already, but 7600gs was kicking ass
some time passed and 7600gs received a problem with this agp-bridge chip
this is easy to fix at home if you like "fry" it in the oven, or using the heatgun
and neither of that i did
then this summer i bought an another 7600gs which maybe was not working already
sticked it into the slot and tried to fire up pc, aaand got nothing, but hot heatsink on a main gpu chip
and that's what it was
two damn dead gpus
16 yo here 
you can use a swap partition for "fake RAM" anyways
I'm 20
and I know how to write in assembly for 2 popular old 8-bit cpus 
also yeah I need to learn the original 16-bit x86 soon
I have gotten my computer to work
I am 22 and only can put PC's together nothing more xD
i'm 16 too 
15 here
Yer making my self-taught ass feel like a dinosaur. 
I read somewhere that 8th gen Intel processors like
Only work with Windows 10, is that correct?
Why the hell am I reading about BSODs at night
Scaring myself kinda hard with the constant capslock and all
@subtle hawk idk what kind of hoaxes you read
Apparently there is a bluescreen for running out of Windows trial time of all things.
And one for violating the License Agreement?!
Odd
No I'm serious. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-0x9a--system-license-violation
It knows.
ReactOS
Windows pleb here oof
Time to reinstall
ReactOS gut
Because frankly I don't care about whether software is free or not
Freedom isn't free
everything is free
So the License agreement bluescreen can detect product type changes or alterations of trial period.
Among other things.
Interesting.
I'm a firm believer W10 belongs only in a VM. Only time I'd run it baremetal would be for a job.
I'm not gonna critic neither Win nor Mac
Ain't so much criticism, as it's a lack of functional trust. For example, I straight up loved 7.
@mental coyote crying about microsoft having telemetry services in place won't change anything
they're doing a decent job
we're in a time where you simply cannot go dark
And you don't think that's kinda messed up?
Barely anyone refers to DMs as Private Messages these days for a reason.
Also, yes. I'm absolutely aware it's not just Microsoft with skin in that game.
no I don't think it's messed up
I don't live in a cave
being connected brings conveniece
@tame topaz well to me DMs and PMs are synonims
I mean yes they are essentially the same
The exact same.
But it seems like these days people don't think Private Messages is such an accurate term anymore
🤔
been using windows 10 for quite awhile
its fine
need some bloatware removal tho
and about trial and stuffs....just buy it
the thing is like 10$ if you know where to look
Frankly. The install key being in the actual firmware works in your favor on this front. Reinstall, that'll at least nuke the OEM's bloat. W10 does have its own, tho.
Also window defender is rather decent
Save yourself from having to install another antivirus software
🤔
yeah, I only need windows defender, any thing else will likely be crap
I will admit Defender's solid.
same
Late 7, early 8 is when defender got actually good.
i wonder if you still can get free win 10 from cracked win 7
nyeh
It's way past the free upgrade period
it still works if you have a valid license from an older windows right?
@grand hare you can buy win10 for like $4
and it'll work
do note that it's probably OEM windows
where companies buy windows machines and then put their own OS or linux or smth on them
meaning the windows keys are useless
so they sell it off
which is technically not supposed to happen
but it still works fine
you can get the keys on ebay for $4
more than 3k elements blocked by UBlock on discord? 
My grandfather found this new floppy pack at his work place
And also there is one sealed pack
i still use floppy disc for work sometimes
the aviation industry uses very old tech.
we order out-of-production IBM floppys lul.
Destroyed about 100 floppys by hand the other day
wewlad
Here I thought my labs were archaic for having the option for floppy disks, you are full on using them. 
what about 5.25" ones though
Relevant meme to this channel
Magical
that's something
hmm
got a problem
my computer using window 10 seems to be 2-3 min late on the clock
is there anyways to tell it to auto adjust?
fixed thanks 

anyone up for a discussion of Random Number Generators and how to best have true randomness in theory?
@quartz atlas the problem i have is that i have never seen the full implementation of the ones that come with C++ or java. Even when searching for them
Its like its just some kind of arcane magic. Im imagining a pentagram on an ic
40 euros for an old GT730 is good? Trying to sell my "old" one, is a 2 GB GDDR5 from Gigabyte 
Selling
I think the Rev 2.0 of the Gigabyte version was released on 2012
Not sure
I would pay at best 20 euros for it
but you never know
someone might actually buy it for that price
Comprar tu Gigabyte GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5
al mejor precio nunca había sido tan fácil y barato en una tienda de venta online
con tantas ofertas y descuentos.
This is the original price from where I bought it
Around 70-80 Euro
Yeah, it is actually 30-40 Euro, mine's the most new GT 730
yeah selling old tech is weird, i once sold a comp of unknown working status that still used ribbon cables for ~22 euros

@languid saddle doesn't matter what you bought it for initially
when you sell used stuff you have to adjust to the market
or else it will never sell
Basically that
I kinda know how it works, cuz I used to sell a lot of cards on CardMarket
consider this @languid saddle
the newest GT1030 sells for 70 euros
brand new
and the used higher end cards go for about 100
there comes a point where old tech gains value instead of losing value because they have become collector items but that wont happen to most gpus from ~2005 and onwards for many more years
but is environmental noise going to seem more random than pseudo random?
well i wonder if it would have the same problem as pseudo random when shuffling a playlist
no the shuffling playlist problem is that using pseudo random to just generate random numbers led to songs by the same artist being grouped together
so when you hit shuffle on an iphone (maybe an android but the problem started with IOS) its actually not all that random
can you not make it regenerate the list with every turn
I remember somewhere I hit shuffle and randomise settings at the same time and it was never predictable whenever I hit previous or next song
wait wait
well i cant find the specific thing im talking about probably cuz im not using the right search terms, but apparently a new problem is that shuffling 1000 songs tends to have alot of the same songs appearing in the first 20, 50, 100 songs of the shuffled playlist
uh oh favoring some songs :notlikethis:
well the thing is, i have a small but very weird playlist on my samsung, so its not like its artist preference, but i also tend to see the first 10 or so having alot of the same ones as last time
can you try different music players? or is that like OS based?
wait i think this is just a case of rng being rng
could be, I myself listen to dj sets so I listen to all songs in order wether I want to or not usually
cuz 10 songs out of 100, when i shuffle again it starts picking and it has a 10/100, 10/99, 10/98 chance of picking a song from the first 10 of the previous playlist
so statictics wise im basically guarateed to have one of the previous 10 in the new 10
side note about randomness, it might be more #quantum-physics than #technology but does anyone know if there is some kind of particle or something that no amount of technology could ever be able to predict its movement or something?
well basically is there something in reality that is random or will it forever be a human construct
the latter
oof
our entire universe is guided by rules
and if you know those rules you can predict how something can behave
well not 100% accurate
but you can
this is some /r/showerthoughts but if you think about it our entire universe is like a quantum particle
not fully chaotic
nor perfect
it reminds me of when i tried to make a neural network colorize black and white images.
i was solving a problem where the answer can never be correct
so i guess making better rng is trying to answer an unsolvable problem
but maybe gravitons are the solution to randomness, the particle that should exist but we have no idea if it actually does
true randomness exists only in a math perfect plane
but for what we have right now it's plenty enough
can we get some neural networks to start spitting out rngs in the hopes of finding some really strange ones
each week the foxmines uses a different one
thonk

one day the kagpocalypse happens and foxes spontaneously take over your docks
they use a special algorythm I invented to that EN players will never get foxes without a blood sacrifice
I think you deployed that to Poifarm by accident.
maybe
@subtle hawk hey uhhhh you got any pics of nimi sensei without her wrapper functions?
NaCl
i need them for uhhh research
but it took me 2 months on foxes lol
i couldnt really think of something program equivalent for clothing XD
Code-condoms
what language is she btw?
True. Must not lood the Nimi
does one of those happen to be javascript?
yes
JS is mostly used for the logic
yeah i only dont like it cuz i had to make a website thingy in one of my classes this semester
and we found a problem where JS was having fun executing line 15 before line 14 finished
ok good nvm about her disability
she's made in JS, C++, Go and Elixir
but yeah i kinda dont like browser JS because line 14 had some stuff that was essential for line 15 to work
could probably make some workaround anyway
Who’s Nimi
nimi is z23
Oh
now i dont want to jinx it but shes the bot right over there ---------->
the last time i said that she had died
Ah, so is Yamato the one that created her
yes he is Fog Bot Developer Yamato
Nice
I did create one for my guild, but it is not as powerful as Z23 because it only uses Node js
technically Z23 can scale up to millions of guilds
private
she's here in the backyard server and on my test server
that is a carbon copy of this one
How did you implement each language into one application
Because I have a hard time embedding
Hmm
the closest thing ive done to using multiple languages in one product was a gui in C++ messing with an arduino
but arduino uses c++ or at least something identical so idk if it counts
Uses C
ah
But a GUI in arduino is really cool if you think about it
it's not even really C
well it was a GUI communicating with an arduino, i could change the RGB of an LED and get voltage readings
actually no it wasnt even an arduino it was a teensy running with arduino code
Are ya both CS majors like me?
yes i am i still have 2 semesters left
I'm doing my major as a side thing
if only warnings came with an image of nimi sensei with the red glowing eyes of justice
we can fix that 
I feel like we need a cursed technology image here, courtesy of my dead calculator
What happened 
aliens trying to communicate with you?
well i think it was below freezing temperatures and i got it out and it felt ice cold and then it did that
i think it was still working but the display was messed up
That would likely cause something to jump 
Though why did you put it in an area below freezing?
left in backpack in car

Siren communications
its how zuikaku found out she was in a simulation
What do ya'll feel about RTX and the new Titan?
All I can say is that those who splurged 3k on a Titan V must feel pretty ripped off.
If you're buying Titan cards, you probably ain't worried about $ tho.
I can say this
the RTX Titan and Titan V are completely different
one is a RT monstrosity
the other is a AI and ML beast
@quartz atlas the Titans imho are what i9 CPUs are
weirdly placed products
True.
They are the true enthusiast products that don't give a shit about value for money.
It's simply there to be the best and out do competition.
Can't wait for raytracing above 60fps on 1440p tho
Quadro outperform titans in gaming or animation?
animation, rendering, AI
Holy fucking shit https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/a3big6/amd_zen_2_leaked_cpu_specs/?utm_source=reddit-android
If this is true then I will be so damn glad that I switched to team red
Huh. I was under the assumption that Titans were better at rendering. What makes gaming different from rendering that a quadro will perform better at rendering but not as well as gaming 
I mean the leaks are from AdoredTV so there are many reasons to believe him.
Though I am rather doubtful about clocks.
Time to show up intel again
Titan cards are how I like to call them "1/2 of a Quadro"
I think Intel still takes the lead at single core performance for top tier products right now tho.
Of course you really can't deny that Intel has always been leading in IPC
But this?
Well, ohohohoho...
If the clocks are true tho. But we'll have to see.
30% IPC bump and then this?!
Intel has to step up their game
This channel is the most peaceful rn
Oh man, Team Red is in for a treat next year.
Of course, cautious optimism is key here.
and stop cannibalizing their HEDT and low end Xeon chips
We still have half a year to go before CES
So plenty of time for more leaks to spring up
I hate that amd is kinda falling off the gpu space. As much as I like nvidia being a monopoly due to my stock position, it ain't healthy.
well we still have to see Navi leaks
and what Intel has under their sleeve
They said they won't be able to compete at top tier themselves IIRC
blue team GPU soon™?
Fingers crossed
I mean they hired Raja for a reason
Intel doing GPUs 🤔
But I doubt anyone can deal with RTX at the moment.
I believe this week is when they will talk further about their GPU architecture
we all knew something was up when they yeeted Raja from RTG
As in raytracing tech.
Dev of BFV says that current RTX in-game still has room for improvement.
So definitely anticipating that
Nvidia literally poured billions of rnd into RTX. I doubt anyone can catch up with speed without a massive investment.
Radeon Rays for consumers when
Real time Ray tracing is certainly a game changer imo
it is


Now tbh they have a point
This tech is seriously early
So cutdowns in frames are unavoidable
Not really they don't, if they want pure fps, turn RTX off. 
now all we need is vector graphics that can match bitmap
I'm not talking about those saying the tech is early and expensive
and we have as close to realistic graphics as we can
It'll be interesting to see how it goes.
I'm talking about those literally saying that real-time raytracing is no big deal and shouldn't exist.
As long as AMD catches up.
after that we'll need true VR and gone are KBM type games
Begone with rasterisation
Why have 4k textures when you can have inifite zoom
it's not
Wonder if GDDR6 made any kind of improvenent
Novideo has been a nickname for Nvidia for a long time now
hey my 2080 Ti isn't dead
In theory yes, increased bandwidth after all.
yet
Oh rly? @tame topaz
yeah
The issue was out blown by as far as I can tell.
The failure rates were low single digits
Shintel, NoVideo, AyyyMD and Refresh Technologies Group
And iirc hardware unboxed's 2080 Ti didn't die in their 48-hour stress test
Radeon Technologies Group
Oh
RTG for short
That one
Because FreeSync
VESA Sync is better than both
I still don't get gsync myself. Why does nvidia still make those overpriced modules. It doesn't really make sense. Ive heard some where that gsync is actually costing them money to provide to monitor OEMs
Man I'll need to change my mobo someday
it does
Yes it's cheap but no VRM heatsinks
the OEM has to pay for GSync license and module
And yet nvidia still loses $ on them and potentially lose customers too due to the cost.
I'm loving my mobo to bits
Of cuz u do
Model?
I would love yours to bits too
Maximus X Formula
Damn
it just looks SOO GOOD
You probably won't go for a titan amirite
The most basic of basics
nope
I still run a laptop 
Only because I got it for dirt cheap as a clearance sale
if I would get something stronger I would get a Quadro
Last one in stock too, so that was lucky.
My laptop occasionally struggles to render my anime 
Anime u say?
I kinda cranked the settings up abit but I don't really know what I'm doing.
It's only 1080p for me tho
I don't have a 4k display haha
fyi, it's a PITA to upscale
I just know that my anime looks good. I generally use blu-ray raws when available.
but thx to this godlike japanese tool it does actually take use of cores
Pita?
Pain in the ass
I've heard it causes some detail loss from 480p to 1080p unscale for eg.
yeah from 480p it would look rply bad
So wait, you're talking about what's essentially waifu2x that has to render 24/30 fps
Ahh
I can already imagine how intensive that would be
well the Xeon server ain't breaking a big sweat
I used to run svp for awhile too. Couldn't deal with the artifects and deleted it.
Of course it isn't.
everything is stored on the NAS where Plex on the main host feeds from
So upscaling is a job for the Cpu?
yes
:yeptune:
I've always used i7s and Xeons
Stuck with Pentium only until recently
Notebook i5s have always been dual core
I can't dispel the productivity of a MacBook at the work place. But God is it expensive and such a closed ecossystem.
not if you only care about the laptops
Just get a ThinkPad
noty
Or an XPS
Especially during meetings, files can just airdroped.
I hate
with a passion for work
But God forbid if someone is running windows
And you have to send it as an attachment
And God forbid that that attachment is too big and you have to use Dropbox
Seems like almost everyone here has a common trait: a fervent hate for Windows.
give me either
or something *NIX
I don't hate windows
but not windows
Tbh I've never really cared about what OS I'm using.
But I'm just an intern so 
"ooh free upgrade? I'LL TAKE IT!"
I have a MacBook because lmao having battery life on a Linux install
Never really got used to NIX
give me a terminal and 10 min and I'll get your entire infrastructure up and running on your entire server cluster
I used linux to program an ips using WiFi packets. Windows didn't like me putting stuff in sniffing mode lul.
I have a whole army of pis
Pi sounds fun tho
and arduinos
Control all the lights
more like controll all the house
I onlynaheb lights to control in my hse so 
I've replaced my light switches with touch surfaces and voice commands
my mind this whole time: "holy shit this guy is fucking awesome"
But yeah I wanna get started with coding.
if there's #technology channel in any server, every people active there will always hate windows

I like
for everyday use and gaming and whatnot
when it comes to work
me too
awwwww hell nah
Got Some basic exprerience with Scratch making some simple bullet hell games
I wanna ascend
you'll need to learn the wae of the OOP
?
Object Oriented Programming
Ah yes
Too bad my middle school ditched Pascal
Or rather computer science entirely after the first year
in middle school I did Pascal too
for like a month
Pascal 🤔
before switching to C
Pascal was waaaaay too boring
Supposed to take up a year in the usual comp sci program
my middle school started at C or Java
fucking developed countries oof
pascal 
The only programming I took in sch was one semester of C# IIRC.
I don't even know what for. I'm studying aviation and forced to learn programming.
But it saved my GPA tho
Got a distinction in that subject
aviation is fun
Still my only distinction in sch.
doe it uses ancient hardware
Yes
We still use floppys in the office lul
We order them out of production stocks from IBM 
mfw the avionics computer looks at USB like it's some sort of alien technology
Every avionic system is at least a decade old due the sheer amount of testing and development needed for each new aircraft or system.
yeah they all use serial COM ports
I mean 5th gen jets are expected to remain in use until at least 2030-something
For eg, when you want a new processor say for your new Airbus, you need to see which processor was the most reliable and works without failure for 10 years at least.
So you end up with a 10yr old processor to work with
Then the plane development itself will take another 10 years or more
So by the time your plane starts flying, your on board computer is 2 decades old.

I mean our latest communication tech is freaking hex codes 
Time to sqawk 7700 lul
We can't be using analog can we 
totally doesn't have an SDR hooked up to an antenna
software defined radio
Idk what's that tho. Never learned about that in my syllabus so far.
you can tune it to any freq you wan in the SRD's operation spectrum
cen even listen in on aviation talk
Technology amazes me.
I still think cpus and GPUs are magic haha
How a plane flies is magic to me too
technically they're just rocks that can do math
Tbh, life is pretty magical too.
When I watch old tech channels like LGR, I'd always end up wondering how they achieved such a feat like this
Making a hunk of silicon think
Pretty amazing.
some lifeforms on earth is already silicon
Complex carbon
Did I live under a rock and missed out on aliens?
Air channel transistors...
Said to have the potential to extend Moore's law for another 10 years
Masterate are tot abt neural interfaces? 
Im confused at the meaning of the sentence.
University has 3 stages
Bach, masters, PhD?
License, Masterate and Doctorate
Oh
So you mean that people say "only masters students think about neural interfaces."
I see.
I won't need a bachelors even if I can make it as a pilot for my national airline.
Will have to see tho.
I'm only getting my major so that my relatives can get off my back
you know, academic family and all that
lol
kinda?
Chinese families are academia focused too smh.
I don't need that major at all but can't have a family member without one
So I kinda understand.
that would be heresy
We literally have thousands of suicides a year due to them scoring badly for "高考", the Chinese equivalent of A'levels.
But getting #off-topic here haha
we already have full duplex neural interfaces


mostly used on patients that suffer from paralysis or blindness
with these interfaces they can talk or see again
I can't even begin to understand how it'll work. Will it be something like induced dreaming or something that can be decoded by a computer?
time to start saving up and retire my life into full dive.
So it won't be like SAO kinda full dive?
Yes I would say AR within half a decade
Especially once it picks up in the military
I mean we already have the holo lens
once AR is mainstream ripp smartphones
and smartwatches, headphones, etc
I still see Google glass becoming mainstream tho. Or Google contacts even.
I won't sacrifice my headphones tho. I need my good sound quality. Nothing wireless can deliver that yet.
Isn't project x still kinda working on the next gen?
why use headphones when you can have direct sound into your brain
literally telepathy
this conversation just makes me anxious 
we're on the brink of another global revolution
Think about your smartphone just 2 years ago and compare it to a current Flagship. The difference is amazing.
yeah
Technology is exponential
should I remind you that computers only existed for about 30 years
also I remember that I read somewhere about we are 40 years away from brain uploading
But I seriously hope that Elon won't kill the aviation industry with SpaceX anytime soon.
I still wanna be a pilot
Can you imagine what game graphics would be like if consoles didn't hold us back.
Gosh the wasted opportunities
Just look at crisis. Full physics environment and everything.
the meme that is crysis
It may be a meme but dang it ahead of its time.
has 5000$ pc
but can it run crysis

Btw, when raredropwe pm nimi, where does the messages go? Does it get purged eventually?
nope
they're kept
forver
by discord
I don't even wanna know what ppl DM niimi with
I have some raredrop screenshots 
But werent nimi collecting collab ideas that one time?
Oh so that was a one time thing for nimi to be able to get the messages back to you?
So technically, it'd be kinda impossible right now for nimi to reply to DMs right?
yeah
doe it's not rlly one
it's more on the line of a alexa
you give it commands it does stuff
You're amazing enough to us tho. 
So new BFV RTX benchmarks
And...
Very, very good!
60fps, 1440p with RTX Ultra on a non-Ti 2080
@subtle hawk what’s the difference between AI and machine learning, and which ones more efficient?
AI is the result of ML
thonk

Machine learning is teaching a complete idiot of an artificial intelligence to actually have intellegence
@flint bobcat or try to teach it at least, sometimes the only grade the ai gets is a "well you tried"
Hey, so you guys seem to know a lot more about that stuff as me so here is my question:
What does an Sound Card do what the one inside the Mainboard doesn't do?
Are they useful? Or worth buying when for example streaming to tweak audio on stream (if they make this possible)?
I would get one from asus to put directly into the motherboard but that sadly doesn't answer my question
uhh @fickle crest from what i remember my uncle telling me about them, they were alot more useful on earlier slower computers where the card would do the processing for better sound quality
nowadays there isnt much use for them in the normal consumer area, they would still work but your mb does a pretty good job already
ah oki thanks :3
I thought they might add some additional possibilitys of how to work with sound, since there seem to be ones from ASUS for example which just looked like they where supposed to do much :'D
@fickle crest PCIe sound cards aren't worth it
most mid tier motherboards come with excelent DACs
well some sound cards have an additional front panel that goes where a cd drive would that could add some functionality like having seperate chat and game audio with knobs to adjust them
if you want a true refined audio opt for a external USB DAC
My thought was splitting audio in some kind with easy tweaking
well @severe falcon how many cases these days have front bays
yeah you are correct but most of the sound cards that had those are coming up on a decade old XD
the only reason you would need a sound card is if you got the high end professional ones and you were recording your own music or something
schiit audio makes excelent USB DACs and amplifiers
I'm personally gonna upgrade later on to a XLR setup
also on the whole thing with cases and front bays, my most recent case doesnt have any so i currently have no way to play my cd games
my new cover will have front bays but just for audio and just
there will be no "door" to open to get to the CD player
at least from the looks of it
i went from 5 front bays to none, this was my old case
Lost Frames are mostly because micro internet cuts right? 
I think is probably cuz trash Wi-Fi signal
is the 1.7% down there the lost frames?
if its wifi thats probably the reason
dropped frames are rather PC power
I stream via Wi-fi
and I don't lose more than 0.3% frames, except in more power needing games
well he said trashy wifi so idk how reliable it is
i use wifi on my desktop but my wifi is actually more reliable than my isp so.....
Router is 20 metres away + Amplifier
Not my fault I'm still searching for a fucking point behind the walls to get the cable through
20 METERS?
well
ö-ö
My house is 212m^2


wtf are u doing? mining bitcoins
