#

and there's still no equivalent to noscript

#

vs

#

So ye

#

Is there a way to get Windows to purge cache?

#

incidentally, firefox + discord + libreoffice + sway use 4371MB for me total

#

20.4GB
that's an odd number for ram

#

oh wait that's available

#

If only

#

8+4+8 and whatever part of an SSD

#

ye idk by default I'm using 8746m as chache on my arch... should probably look into lowering that

#

could cause problems when I spin up multiple vms

#

lul

#

On an HDD?

#

no, ram

#

I have a SSD for storage (it's a laptop), but I'm not using any of it for swap

#

because swap is kinda a silly idea when you have 24GB of memory....

#

8x3?

#

Or 16+8?

#

16+8

#

though it's 16 dual rank + 8 single rank, so logically pretty similar to 8x3

subtle hawk
#

I heard people talking shit about chrome

#

I was summoned

#

also

#

v

#

libreoffice
puke

#

lmao

#

office 365 is soooooooo much better

#

You have Office365?

#

yes

#

Which edition?

#

I have Home
Till September 2021

#

the normal edition

#

why should I pay for home or business edition

#

they provide the exact same featureset

#

Sharing
I share with some friends so I bought it lul

#

Also If I had no friends I could create 4 more MSFT account and have a total of 5 TB of OneDrive storage sandyMeme

#

that's just dumb

#

that's like creating a G Suite account just to have the google drive storage

#

Not really
Office 365 costs about US$ 25 more here so doesn't matter

#

United States and Bangladesh have different pricing lmao'

#

u don't say

#

all prices are regional

#

which is nice

#

very nice

#

Meanwhile Apple wants the exact number of any currency

#

iPhone XS Max 256 costs US$130 more here

#

why would anyone care about apple

#

and the ppl that do care about it don't care about the price

#

so win win for both teams

#

If only the brainless industry didn't follow their ass around for almost everything

#

the industry isn't brainless

#

it's the consumers that are brainless

#

and gullible

#

It's like everyone watched Apple sell iPhones like hotcakes and made them think, Let's just make our phones cost 2Gs just for making our bank burst

#

And people fall for it

#

exactly

#

they wouldn't do that if they couldn't get away with it

mental coyote
#

Didn't we just have this convo, last week?

subtle hawk
#

In case of foldable phones
It's awesome
It's futuristic
But it's definitely not worth US$1980

#

and if you're talking about the galaxy fold I see that price justified

#

it's a bleeding edge technology

#

just like RTX

#

nobody is pushing ur broke ass to buy it

#

True
The price will come down later

#

but ofc ppl are ppl and they have to whine about it

#

they want a foldable phone for 300

#

Galaxy Fold is like the 1st iPhone of foldables lmao

#

they want raytracing for 500

#

If only

#

that doesn't happen in the first generation

#

just u wait

#

the next gen RTX cards will be WAAAAAAAY better than the current ones

#

and cheaper

#

because unlike ayyymd they won't let their new architecture go to waste

#

I really want a foldable phone running a desktop OS
With upto 2 TB storage
And better pricing

I don't think a Fold 2 running Windows 10 on ARM is hard enough to ask for, especially for a price of around US$1499.99 or something

#

why

#

Or Linux ARM

#

just why

#

u have android

#

that's literally linux on ARM

#

WTF will 12 GB RAM do on Android?

#

I can't even use more than 5 GB of RAM on my Note9

#

With the DeX

#

well do you have to fill it constantly?

#

I I can't make use of it they why cram it with it

#

if you want a portable desktop with a touch display there's the Dell XPS

#

Surface Pro

#

I have a Surface Pro

#

then what more do you want?

mental coyote
#

Good choices

subtle hawk
#

you have a phone that's well....

#

a phone

#

you have a laptop/tablet combo

#

Something with 8 GB of RAM
And a terabyte of storage
Because shush

#

hell you can even have them separate for different tasks

#

you have desktop pc

#

the ecosystem is already solid

#

I'm out for like 16h a day lul

#

why do you keep it in japanese?

#

weebness entyLUL

#

My Surface has like about 100 GB remaining

#

Not really

#

why didn't you get the 1TB model if you need that much portable space

#

I don't want anyone to understand what I read or do in my ohone

#

or a external drive

#

I have the 2017 version

#

512 GB is the highest possible

#

Of which 460 GB is available

#

external drive then

#

And I don't think one should fill up SSDs completely

#

my cache SSDs can go from 0 to 100% multiple times a day

#

I carry a crammed bag lmao
A 512 GB SD Card will be better lul

mental coyote
#

Damn. I run two OSes on 1 tb. Plus games and shit. Is yer pr0n collection that ginormous, or?

subtle hawk
#

Only 80 GB
On my phone
Not on my Surface

#

Don't worry

#

I carry around work docs and logs and stuff

#

at 15 years?

#

I'm 14 lul

mental coyote
#

80 on a phone ain't horrid. Especially with sd cards getting higher spec.
Imagine running with 16-32 internal.

subtle hawk
#

even more so

#

I highly doubt you are in the working sphere at that age

#

Part-time

#

it's not legal

#

8H

#

even part time

#

If only my country was that

#

unless you work for under the table money

#

US rules don't apply in Bangladesh

#

then that's hurting you

#

why you assume I'm from US

#

Ye I need a lot of money

#

Where are you from then?

#

eastern europe

#

👀

#

Nice

#

a lot of money for?

#

School fees + Internet fees + House rent + Food and clothing = Need money

And this game doesn't help

#

I need to pay rent because I live away from my parents

#

Because better education

#

at 14 years? gonna drop a big doubt on that

#

Come in Bangladesh and drive a bus at 12

#

You'll love it

#

you're just exagerating at this point

#

Maybe but there are some

#

So ye

#

BDT 30000~BDT 35000 is now almost the standard house rent so some students like me do part-time jobs

subtle hawk
#

MWC 2019 is in full swing and we have already seen all kinds of crazy technology from companies around the world and just when we thought we have seen the craziest things, SanDisk and Micron popped up with 1 TB MicroSD cards. I guess someone should tell the guys at SanDisk an...

subtle hawk
#

how much is the theoretical max of the microSD spec again? 2TB? 4TB?

subtle hawk
#

SD: 2gb
SDHC: 32gb
SDXC: 2tb
SDUC: 128tb

#

ah ye I was thinking SDXC

subtle hawk
#

So yeah we will have the first SDUC card in few years

#

Or we can have it in November
From Samsung
Maybe

#

big doubt

#

Sure it is but it's currently Huawei vs Samsung now so maybe
Just maybe

#

Maybe if cloud storage doesn't overtake it

#

maybe if you were realistic and understand that such density will reach a limit

#

And yeah that too

#

there's just this much space in there

#

Cloud Storage is cancer here

#

here

#

it's a cloud

#

it's not local

#

Unless he talks about the connection

#

Try backing up at 2 MB/s

#

Yup

#

that's a whole other problem

#

A problem the entire subcontinent has
Kinda

#

A NAS is a better option I guess

#

Still, Moore's law is heavily slowing down right now

#

Ye

#

We are reaching the nm limit

#

5 nm is the physical limit right?

#

4

#

after that quantum laws come knocking

#

So with that will come price

#

Gold price

#

Still, I found it hilarious that people in the 70s think that sentient robots are run on 100nm processor

#

Well
Can't blame them for that

#

7nm was unrealistic back then

#

well after reaching the physical limit we're gonna have to look more into quantum computing

subtle hawk
#

iirc IBM has a business offering of a quantum machine

#

so maybe in a couple of decades we will start seeing consumer-grade ones?

#

For US$100000
Sure

#

Or more

#

I dunno

subtle hawk
#

@subtle hawk not even

#

rn most QCs are used for designing security protocols

severe falcon
#

@subtle hawk i heard something about 8bit dac

subtle hawk
#

yes

severe falcon
#

What do you mean by "made"

#

Oh wait i found the twitter link

subtle hawk
#

I manually soldered the parts into the middle board

#

the right board was a small amp board I bought

flint bobcat
#

What’s a good budget motherboard around 100-150

tame topaz
#

@flint bobcat Socket?

flint bobcat
#

?

tame topaz
#

What socket is your CPU?

#

Just tell me what your current CPU is.

flint bobcat
#

I7

subtle hawk
#

that doesn't help at all

#

the exact model of the i7

flint bobcat
#

Lemme get it

#

I7-8700K

subtle hawk
#

so my board

#

unless you want that thing to go to waste

#

you'll need a Z370 motherboard

tame topaz
#

Looking for any specific features?

flint bobcat
#

nah, just need a motherboard

#

Z370 looks nice and cheap

tame topaz
#

Newegg has a Z370 Aorus Ultra for exactly 149

subtle hawk
#

then don't complain it it blows up or dies

flint bobcat
#

uh

#

What do you mean blow up and die 👀

subtle hawk
#

most Z370 boards are in the 200-250$ range

tame topaz
#

Newegg has tons that go for under 150

subtle hawk
#

those are ITX ones

flint bobcat
#

I would like a stable motherboard tho fumizukiStare

subtle hawk
#

Asus Prime Z370-A

tame topaz
subtle hawk
#

it's the right balance of everything

flint bobcat
#

Ah ok

subtle hawk
#

I don't trust that gigabyte board

#

or gigabyte in general

tame topaz
#

Eh, they're fine.

#

Using them.

subtle hawk
#

in asus and MSI I can have confidence they'll deliver quality

#

acer as well

tame topaz
#

Asrock is all budget

#

And they're good with it

subtle hawk
#

asrock is the brand that all amd shills circlejerk over

tame topaz
#

Using one rn lol

subtle hawk
#

especially the taichi series

tame topaz
#

It looks cool.

subtle hawk
#

keyword

#

looks

subtle hawk
#

and?

#

you expect games to be audiophiles

tame topaz
#

For some reason TUF boards has always cheaped out on their audio

#

games to be audiophiles

#

starts humming Daredevil

subtle hawk
#

we're the bastard bunch inbetween

#

I use a USB DAC so there's that

tame topaz
#

Hm.

subtle hawk
#

looking at the price of my motherboard

#

I'm just

tame topaz
#

Anyway, back on topic. Yeah that Z370-A looks nice if Aria's willing to spend some more

subtle hawk
#

that prime has passed the trial and error test of many ppl

tame topaz
#

My board is 43 dollars...

#

Original price is 73 iirc

subtle hawk
#

mine is the cost of a low end GPU

tame topaz
#

That damn thing is the centerpiece of my 4-core ascension masterplan

subtle hawk
#

hell even a mid end GPU if you take into consideration some cards

tame topaz
#

Mine is serviceable.

#

Can overclock just fine too.

subtle hawk
#

ahem

tame topaz
#

Oh goodness me

#

Well I certainly didn't expect that one.

subtle hawk
#

the VRM is taking quite the beating pushing 1.55 V through the CPU

#

yeah that one is the crown piece Z370 board

tame topaz
#

Didn't realize 1.4V is already really high so cranked it to 1.425 lol

#

Set it back down to 1.4 tho

subtle hawk
#

rn I'm running 1.48 V on idle

tame topaz
#

Jeez

subtle hawk
#

that's the price to be over the 5 GHz barrier

tame topaz
#

My board has no RGB header so had to make do with a mess of adaptors and stuff

#

12V RGB connector that connects to SATA. Also comes with remote.

subtle hawk
#

iCUE I summon thee

tame topaz
#

Then it's a splitter cable, hidden in the back

#

Going sync-less sucks

subtle hawk
#

140 W idling

tame topaz
#

Used to have a Gigabyte B360 that I used for my... Pentium.

subtle hawk
#

jesus

#

the main Ti card is overheating

#

60 degrees

#

doe tbf the fans aren't running

tame topaz
#

Idle?

subtle hawk
#

and the heatsink isn't that beefy

#

ye

tame topaz
#

Wow, that's hot for idle.

subtle hawk
#

well it has another card right below it

#

and the fans are off

tame topaz
#

Currently just running a custom fan curve since I'm OC'ing the damn thing as well.

#

Almost no time for the fans to stop.

#

Ya rich bastards have it made

#

After the actual PC you'd have to worry about the electricity bill as well

subtle hawk
#

I also overclocked it

tame topaz
#

For case cooling I'm running a set of 3 RGB fans (with proprietary connector that connects to a fan hub that controls the RGB as well)

subtle hawk
#

2.1 GHz

tame topaz
#

+140 core, +400 mem for me

#

Still lags in Pipeline Destruction

subtle hawk
#

nah I can't push it that high

#

since its base boost clock is already high af

tame topaz
#

Like seriously, the frames can dip hard when there is a ton of smoke and you're flying low

#

It's fine otherwise though

#

Max settings, 1080p, 120% res

#

3 RGB fans + an RGB-less Vardar I managed to grab for dirt cheap

#

I need some dust filters.

#

It's a white Vardar EVO, but then it started to rattle hard.

#

Ended up trading into Furious Vardar FF5 as warranty and has been fine and dandy ever since.

#

Quite a bit louder than the previous one but blows much much more air and is black, which fits the case more

#

Practically a deal hunter.

languid saddle
#

What the fuck, 1.48V what CPU woke

severe falcon
#

my fan curve is a flat line at 100%

#

Let's see how much of a mistake this will turn out to be in the end... Trying to get i3 configured and working

slow quiver
#

@stone wave So i havent bought the phone yet but i might get it for the same price as you did. Its basically mint condition comes with charger and usb for 475

stone wave
#

cool, best of luck

#

ive only bought a tablet and that phone from swappa and both have been as described some friends have also bought iphones from there (yeah iphones) and had no issues

obtuse dawn
#

Mainly learning the keyboard shortcuts seems to be the big challenge here

slow quiver
#

Fingers crossed for no issues here as well

stone wave
#

if the device isnt as advertised you have the right to return it, never tried it but so long as the seller's ratings are alright you ought to be safe

subtle hawk
#

I mean

#

i3 shortcuts are more or less sensible

#

mod+movement key = switch focus, mod+shift+movement key = move focused window

#

mod+return = spawn terminal, mod + d = spawn dmenu

#

you can do most anything with those 4 binds

#

oh

#

you mean i3 window manager

#

I thought it was Intel Core i3 Thonk

pulsar saddle
#

for that reason I always write "i3wm" and "core i3" entyLUL

subtle hawk
#

if someone talks about configuring i3 they're usually talking about i3wm lmao

#

also @obtuse dawn you Must set up gaps

#

gaps are a necessity for any self-respecting i3wm user

pulsar saddle
#

or switch to Wayland and use sway where gaps are a default feature

subtle hawk
#

come to think of it, does i3-gaps even support bar gaps?

#

I never see anyone using gaps on their i3bar for some reason

obtuse dawn
#

A lot of the i3-related stuff has used a different bar than i3bar, at least in /r/unixporn

pulsar saddle
#

I think there are no bar gaps for the same reason why we need to disable titlebars for i3-gaps to work properly

#

don't know the exact reason for that though

subtle hawk
#

well I will say that swaybar gaps are sexy af

obtuse dawn
#

Interesting... Didn't realize titlebars needed to be disabled with i3-gaps

subtle hawk
#

titlebars should be disabled anyway

#

waste of space

pulsar saddle
#

I tried once with titlebars enabled and i3-gaps started to glitch

#

it was fun to watch

subtle hawk
#

pretty sure sway's gaps, incidentally, does work with titlebars enabled

#

probably on account of gaps being built in

obtuse dawn
#

Guess I get to install from source, unless I find a ppa with i3-gaps

subtle hawk
#

ppa
AkagiLul

#

another reason to use arch

#

gaps is in the main repos

obtuse dawn
#

Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough for the level of DIY arch requires

subtle hawk
#

Do you guys know any good <$60 headphones to recommend

brave anchor
#

@subtle hawk gaming or studio?

subtle hawk
#

Studio

#

I make music so yeah

#

Audio Technica ATH-M20x

brave anchor
#

Shure SRH 240A

subtle hawk
#

<$60 knocks out all open backed options

#

;-;

#

Because money

#

And I'm not even from US

#

ye but for studio use open backed absolutely slaughter closed backed

#

so I'm crying inside

#

lol

tame topaz
#

For me even a cheapo KZ pair would do

#

They sound amazing for the price.

subtle hawk
tame topaz
#

Interesting joint venture there

subtle hawk
#

I have that
With other SteelSeries stuff

#

Like the keyboard and mouse

#

Yeah I don't have that much money right now

#

I just wanted to know was buying that right?

#

Because my old headphones pad came off and the wires tear down by itself

#

Ow

tame topaz
#

Yeowch.

subtle hawk
#

Oh my god

tame topaz
#

Jeez.

subtle hawk
#

It deserves the 2 years of usage

#

And yeah I replaced the pads once

subtle hawk
#

did your parrot find that cable

#

or ur cat

#

His leg or head

#

I don't know

brave anchor
#

plastic cable problem?

subtle hawk
#

It's rubber though

#

At least feels like one

#

I've never seen a cable be that frayed from just use

#

Could be of bad quality or sometimes got twisted bad or a combination of both

subtle hawk
#

Yeah or it got squeezed

#

my cable has been squeezen and crushed under a chair several times and it's still fine

#

but I guess it is an AKG cable... maybe they make those sturdier than the norm

tame topaz
#

I trash my headphones like mad

#

Would get it stuck somewhere on a daily basis

subtle hawk
#

I have JBL wireless earbuds

#

for home I use more beefy shit

#

lmao

#

I'm not one of those hipsters that spends 2k on headphones when his phone can't even output that high of quality sound

tame topaz
#

Y'all need jesus DAC

subtle hawk
#

lemme carry a 500W transformer too

#

for maximum HiFi

tame topaz
#

Heard ALC1220's really good

#

And I'm just sitting here getting prepared for a freaking Powerpoint competition

stone wave
#

im still using my ancient sennheiser HD280s

#

just swapped out the pads for some memory foam ones from Brainwavz

#

personally I'd go headphones + mic over a headset

My Razer tiamat already 4 years old today GWshizuWanISee

severe falcon
#

Is there a term for when you fix one bug but a completely unrelated part of the code starts breaking when it has never done that before?

#

braces for incoming sarcasm

#

Its actually a really simple script that just presses keys and moves the mouse, but it used to miss pressing [enter] so i made just click all the ok boxes and now it misses pressing hotkeys to bring up some windows on a completely seperate part of the code.

#

So otherwise i would agree that my code is spagetti but its ONE loop and 5 if else statements with some mouse movements and key presses scattered

#

Anyone seen the new foldable phones from Huawei and Samsung?
Unofficially in terms of appearance so far I say Huawei has the upper hand, Galaxy got the better build material.

tame topaz
#

They both have creases though.

#

And I don't really know if the Fold's price is reasonable for being experimental first-gen tech

fallen idol
#

Ehh I dont know why there was a need for foldable phones race

#

The price is ridiculous

#

We jump to foldable phones but cant get the camera behind the screen eliminating notches and bezels...

#

Azur lane in BIGGER SCREEN

pulsar saddle
#

to compress your phone for transporting

#

I can't think of any other reason

fallen idol
#

Its basically a smaller version of a tablet for those that have a smartphone now and carry a hand held tablet on them all the time. . . I dont see a daily consumer use for it

pulsar saddle
#

to me it looks very useful for those who want big screen in a small pocket

fallen idol
#

I'm pretty sure there will be a leasing contract option on official release

#

But still imagine that bill per month

pulsar saddle
#

gotta wait a few years and see if it becomes mainstream or remains niche

severe falcon
#

Have they thought of having the phone fold BACKWARDS and just making the 2 screens flush at the break?

subtle hawk
#

If people really need a big screen for media consumption and web browsing I don't see the point of these foldables when tablets exists
A normal phone + a Surface Go/iPad at best would cost upto US$1600, won't cause the user to have a heart attack every time they put it in the bag and you can same some money

#

Also can't wait for JerryRigEverything to test their durability

fallen idol
#

@severe falcon that's Huaweis design

subtle hawk
#

That display looks like something that can break faster than a sand castle

pulsar saddle
#

I mean, sure, I myself would take phone + tablet anytime and for cheaper right now

fallen idol
#

Huawei has the better design but the down sides are the price and screen material

pulsar saddle
#

but I suppose there is a need for 2-in-1 if that design exists in the first place

fallen idol
#

Plastic screen is scratch magnet

subtle hawk
#

A normal phone + a tablet still better than foldables because of the price and experimental condition of it

severe falcon
#

Oh see i just saw the samsung ones so i didnt know huawei was actually smart

fallen idol
#

The cost is ridiculous

#

2.3k usd

subtle hawk
#

Also how did Samsung thought of releasing a foldable worth 2 iPhone XR + a Pocophone + Some extra to use paired with the thiccness of 2 phones

pulsar saddle
#

some people are rich and adventurous enough to not be scared of it being experimental warShrug

fallen idol
#

I blame apple for the influence of a jacked up price tags on the new phones

subtle hawk
#

@fallen idol I agree

#

Unless it can run desktop OSes

#

I really hope Apple doesn't make a foldable worth $5000 lmao

severe falcon
#

If only all media wasnt absolutely against 4:3ish resolutions, you could have the phone fold in half on the long side like most cases already do.

fallen idol
#

Apple released their foldable phone last in year 2030 claiming they were the first

subtle hawk
fallen idol
#

inovation

subtle hawk
#

Courage

severe falcon
#

Tfw we have a retro resurgence and start having smart flip phones

subtle hawk
#

foldables are kinda that lmao

pulsar saddle
#

Nostalgia

subtle hawk
#

Crackphobia

#

I don't even

fallen idol
#

See this is what I dont agree with, if we have the resources to invest in foldable screens that NO AVERAGE CONSUMER can afford then why not invest it into eliminating the front camera bezels making it go behind the screen no notches

subtle hawk
#

Or just eliminate the front crap

pulsar saddle
#

because that shit doesn't generate a lot of media buzz, obviously

subtle hawk
#

The current phone is ok
No foldables please
I don't want something that's easily breakable

pulsar saddle
#

that will never happen

fallen idol
#

Everyone hates notches and samsungs cut out for the front camera doesnt make it better

pulsar saddle
#

companies are always attention whores

subtle hawk
#

Who is waiting JerryRigEverything to test those foldables

pulsar saddle
#

so they absolutely will make something new every now and then

subtle hawk
fallen idol
#

I feel the phone markets just dont like to legit innovate anymore they copy off of apple and dont particularly listen to their consumers THEN they have mentality to raise a phone value to near 1k if not more

#

🤔 this is so bad

subtle hawk
#

I would prefer an iPhone XR + Galaxy S10e + a Surface Go + an iPad over a single foldable lmao

fallen idol
#

Have you tried one plus

subtle hawk
#

I had a OnePlus 3T

fallen idol
#

It's really good

#

The 6t isnt bad

subtle hawk
#

I have a Note9 so a bit late for that

fallen idol
#

Do you use the bluetooth pen a lot?

subtle hawk
#

And OnePlus isn't that same company anymore

Their prices are increasing faster too

#

Yes I use the pen a lot
For taking notes in school

fallen idol
#

I was thinking of going for the note but probably gonna hold off one more year from my galaxy s8+

subtle hawk
#

Do that
I mean
S8+ still quite good

fallen idol
#

2 to 3 year mark sounds alright for switching

#

Yea it is

subtle hawk
#

Android isn't going to be power hungry anytime soon

#

big doubt on that

fallen idol
#

I'm really interested in their one ui

subtle hawk
#

I have OneUI already
WTF is the font

fallen idol
#

How is one ui

#

Worth?

subtle hawk
#

Depends

#

very one piece

#

:^)

obtuse dawn
#

It didn't try to shove comic sans down your throat a la Samsung?

subtle hawk
#

lmao

fallen idol
#

Mods please

obtuse dawn
#

I still can't fathom how people can use that font on their phones

fallen idol

Oh

fallen idol
#

Maybe those people dont know how to change font?

obtuse dawn
#

Could be

subtle hawk
#

Maybe

#

Or they're dimwits

fallen idol
#

Its not default tho

subtle hawk
#

lol

fallen idol
#

Yea..

fallen idol
#

I really wish Samsung had the balls to take out their stupid Bixby button

subtle hawk
#

At least they now allow remapping on the S10

#

Or disabling it

fallen idol
#

I disabled it

subtle hawk
#

Just use a razor blade and take out the buttons...don't do that if you value water resistance

fallen idol
#

Samsung could of partnered with Google and added google duplex to this button

#

then we are talking

subtle hawk
#

Nope

#

Nice

#

I have a Lumia 540 DS lmao

fallen idol
#

How do you have discord on that thing

#

subtle hawk
#

Shouldn't be that slow lol

#

I hope

fallen idol
#

I agree with you that switching phones every year is just dumb but if you have the cash then by all means

subtle hawk
#

Just join the exchange program if you wanna lmao

fallen idol
#

You can trade in depends on what carrier you got

subtle hawk
#

Trade-in values are low here

fallen idol
#

I wouldnt do the phone leasing thing

subtle hawk
#

Trading in a Note9 for S10+ will deduct only 40% of the cost

Even though both still cost the same

#

In my country at least

#

Also changing phones every year is a pain in the ass

#

If you have a lot of apps

pulsar saddle
#

If you can afford having both old and new phones rooted, then Titanium Backup is your best friend

subtle hawk
#

Not interested in voiding warranties thanks

#

I'm waiting for Note 10

#

Me too

pulsar saddle
#

You don't have to void warranties, if they are expired

#

insert roll safe meme

subtle hawk
#

Still have warranty

pulsar saddle
#

also I used to have cheap-ass phones for under $100 and $150, so voiding a warranty wasn't much of an issue to me when in return I learned quite a bit about how Android works from inside

subtle hawk
#

We don't have that now do we?

#

knowing where apps are located isn't the same as knowing how the kernel itself works

pulsar saddle
#

sure, for that I had to step up and install Linux years later entyLUL

subtle hawk
#

and how it creates its specialized user space

#

And how you brick it

pulsar saddle
#

I did brick while rooting once mutsukiStare

subtle hawk

oh, didn't know it worked here

subtle hawk

It works everywhere

#

I need to start working on that custom ROM for my old ass tablet

#

Oh

flashbacks to the dark times

severe falcon
#

Tfw windows says "installing device driver software click here for more details" but the drivers are for the mouse

severe falcon
#

So i just learned that going from the best limited data plan to the worst unlimited plan completely removes your phone's ability to do hotspots

subtle hawk
#

Good job

#

We have nothing like that

severe falcon
#

I mean its AT&T so i guess i shouldve xpected this

subtle hawk
#

Oh

severe falcon
#

So yeah no wifi at work, school wifi hates my rpi, so the only way i can get the python modules is at home, the only place i barely use it cuz i have a computer a million times more powerful than it

subtle hawk
#

lmfao

sacred cipher
#

for some reason my computer noises are playing thru my mic

#

anyone experience this lamo

severe falcon
#

Did you plug it into the speaker port?

#

@sacred cipher

sacred cipher
#

the speaker port? its in the headphone jack

severe falcon
#

Is it a headset or just a mic?

#

And does the computer have both a headphone and microphone jack?

sacred cipher
#

yep

#

i havent changed anything

#

well i did, i installed a new wifi adapter in the pcie port but its been fine for a few days until today

#

and yesterday i was using mic/headphones and it was fine

#

its a headphone that i plugged a mic into

#

dont have this issue on my older shittier headset so i guess its the cables

#

but its weird it broke out of nowhere

#

i made sure the mic wasnt being listened to

#

disabled stereo mix

severe falcon
#

Ok so this setup was working fine until the qifi adapter?

sacred cipher
#

yeah, and after that it worked fine for like

#

its been a week or so its been working smoothly

#

overnight it just got fucked

severe falcon
#

Have you looked at your playback devices to see if maybe its just selecting the mic instead of the headphones?

sacred cipher
#

hmm

#

how would i do that

severe falcon
#

You have windows right?

sacred cipher
#

ye

#

w10

severe falcon
#

Down next to the date and time is a speaker symbol, right click and select playback devices

sacred cipher
severe falcon
#

So you have a mic, plugged into an unrelated headphone, thats then plugged into your comp right?

sacred cipher
#

yes

severe falcon
#

So the mic is not directly connected to the computer?

sacred cipher
#

It's not

#

it connects into the headphone

#

but it's never played audio through my mic before

#

and it's not like it's leakage

severe falcon
#

Have ypu tried unplugging the headphone and plugging it back in?

sacred cipher
#

yeah

#

also tried reinstalling drivers

#

and uninstalling drivers

#

and restarting

severe falcon
#

Huh well the only thing i can think of is to plug the mic directly into the comp instead

sacred cipher
#

hmm maybe

severe falcon
#

You have both a green headphone and pink microphone jack next to each other on the computer right? They might not actually have color though

sacred cipher
#

Yeah I don't think they have color

#

maybe some update is registering them wrong

severe falcon
#

But there 2 of them and they are labeled as head/mic?

sacred cipher
#

yes

#

theres little icons on the case

#

and its always worked

severe falcon
#

Ok thats whats got me confused is that it used to work xuz it absolutely shouldnt

sacred cipher
#

yea its been workign fine for months

severe falcon
#

Mic+stereo is 3 channels and your comps headphone jack is only 2 channel

sacred cipher
#

I plugged mic into mic jack

#

and headphone into headphone jack

#

and you can still hear things

#

so maybe its just the mic

severe falcon
#

So it works if the mic is separate?

sacred cipher
#

no

#

the mic works

#

its just sound from headphone is playing thru it

severe falcon
#

And thats when they are in their own separate jacks?

sacred cipher
#

uh

#

i have a cable splitter that attaches

#

that separates them into 2 jacks

#

i couldnt figure out how to get it to work without it

severe falcon
#

OH i see now

#

Uhh try swapping their jacks?

#

Maybe your comp just changed the mic into the headphone and vice versa so try switching them

subtle hawk
#

well then

sacred cipher
#

@severe falcon when i swap the jacks

#

i get this

#

and it dont werk

#

mic does tho

#

maybe the mic jack got fukked somehow

severe falcon
#

Maybe,its just weird that its going directly to mic and then shows that when you switch

sacred cipher
#

oh wel

severe falcon
#

Yeah you might just need to get a headset with a mic,

subtle hawk
#

I heard someone shitting on DACs above. ALC1220 is finefor most use, and getting a $50 ish range DAC would be a waste of money

#

but i have a modi 2 uber (modi 3 is basically the same thing, 2U was just cheaper at the time I purchased) and it's a night and day difference between the modi and the realtek

#

now sometimesthat's not a good night and day difference (some poorly recorded tracks / jpop shit becomes really fatiguing on the modi, where the 1220's errors actually reduced the fatigue)

sacred cipher
#

What's DAC?

languid saddle
#

Digital to Analog Audio Converter I think

subtle hawk
#

digital to analog converter

#

but yes type I'm talking about is for audio

#

not anything you really should bother getting unless you're buying open backed headphones

#

the DAC built into most PCs (realtek ALC1220) works just fine for 99% of use cases, but if you've got hifi recordings and hifi output devices, it can become the weak link

severe falcon
subtle hawk
#

oof

#

Why did I try running Windows 10 on ARM on the Pi3 is beyond me

subtle hawk
#

New MacBook or wut?

#

it's a A1502

#

u can notice that by the fan design and the non soldered SSD

#

2013 MacBook?

#

2015

#

Oh

#

I know the entire circuitry for this bastard

#

so if it dies ik where to look

severe falcon
#

Looks like when i took apart a ps2 slim

#

Except that doesnt have scorch marks where the power cable plugs into it

subtle hawk
severe falcon
#

Huh i shouldve thought of liquid metal for my laptop when it was overheating

#

It already had the worst heatsink ever made so i wouldnt screw it up

#

Like literally the rpi tiny heatsink on its cpu would be MORE effective than factory heatsink

subtle hawk
#

worst heatsink u say?

#

That's 2018 MacBook Pro

#

Sorta

severe falcon
#

It was a u shape of copper pipe over the cpu and running to the fan, that fan was not even near the cpu

subtle hawk
#

this thing feels like I would break it if I would put any bit of force on it

#

oof

severe falcon
subtle hawk
severe falcon
#

That copper part where the barcode is is where the cpu is

#

And thats straight from the factory

#

When i said it overheated i meant its kernel performed emergency instant shutdowns because of the temp

tame topaz
#

Believe in the bear that believes in you

subtle hawk
#

@severe falcon oh man that reminds me of that one post where the barcode got between the heat sink and the cpu

#

and they didn't notice it until very late

severe falcon
#

I dont even think that would matter, i could RELIABLY get my cpu to 85+ C

#

Its called terraria.exe

severe falcon
#

Also my school seems to have recently fixed the wifi to work with my rpi

subtle hawk
#

Nice

severe falcon
#

So i just finished a site scraper that takes all of the stats on the ships by stats page and turns them into csv files split by hull type and level. And it does it in 30 seconds. Just no collab or retro stats though

carmine raven
#

is anyone here running pfsense with snort?

subtle hawk
#

pfsense
why would you run pfsense when iptables is strictly better

carmine raven
#

because it's messy framework and im just more familiar with PF

obtuse dawn
#

Always make sure to put guards against going outside arrays, especially when working with pointers. Otherwise fun things like this can happen.

#

Just remember the instructions on how to git the princess

#

Surely you've seen "git the princess" 😛

severe falcon
#

SEGMENTATION FAULT

subtle hawk
#

segfault segualt!

severe falcon
#

Do any of you like DATA ?

#

specifically graphical data?

subtle hawk
#

not my thing but I know some datawhores

severe falcon
#

well have some colorful al data

#

for some reason that isnt the full list of names but i guess matlab is expecting a 4k monitor or something

#

the really high peak is the bulins cuz for some reason they have 10 airpower, where the rest converge is 0
and the really low line is grenville who doesnt have her stats on the wiki yet so all of those points are the 0s of that stat

subtle hawk
#

lmfao

severe falcon
#

i just wish my datamining class using matlab ACTUALLY TAUGHT US HOW TO USE MATLAB

#

cuz matlab is the one of the worst made programming languages

subtle hawk
#

use haskell instead

#

ez

severe falcon
#

well when i figure out how to do graphs in python, im probably just gonna do that

subtle hawk
#

but haskell is F U N C T I O N A L

severe falcon
#

but i have experience with python

subtle hawk
#

^

#

functional is very different from imperative

#

so yeah just use whatever you find comfortable

severe falcon
#

plus then id have the site scraper and the statistics graph programs all on the same comp so i can update them faster

subtle hawk
#

which comp

severe falcon
#

my rpi

subtle hawk
#

I still don't get why you're using a pi as a desktop

severe falcon
#

im not, its my laptop

subtle hawk
#

you know what I mean

severe falcon
#

well why not

subtle hawk
#

a pi should be headless or an HMI-type setup

severe falcon
#

but i paid like $140 for my pi setup that does literally everything i would need a laptop to do for all my college homework, instead of $500 for a decent laptop so it would actually run faster than the pi

#

the only thing it cant do is matlab, so thats the only time i have to be at home to do homework

subtle hawk
#

fair enough

#

I just bought it as a second testing pc

#

I already have my nice $1000 laptop

severe falcon
#

well see i had to buy it for a lab where we used the pis, an arduino, and some electronics

#

so i already had it, so i just made it useful

subtle hawk
#

ah nice

#

my lab just used STM32 board warShrug

#

because we need to actually learn about embedded system's features

severe falcon
#

yeah the final lab was putting everything we learned together, so it was a GUI on the pi that did serial comms with the arduino to send packets with checksums to the arduino to change the colors of an RGB LED

subtle hawk
#

we had similar thing too

#

both my arduino board and rpi are bought just for my hobbies

severe falcon
#

i just wish the rpi didnt need 5.5v when literally everything only gives it 5v

subtle hawk
#

it needs 2.5A

severe falcon
#

so it just complains with the lightning bolt all the time

subtle hawk
#

even with your power bank's 2A output?

severe falcon
#

actually my powerbank can do 3A max on one usb and it still does it

subtle hawk
#

hm 🤔

severe falcon
#

when it boots, the first line it says is "under voltage detected"

subtle hawk
#

you have no choice but using its AC adapter really

#

which is like 1/3 of the board's price

severe falcon
#

you mean the ac adapter that i havent had for a year

#

but it never has problems, i just assume it runs slower than what its supposed to

subtle hawk
#

probably

#

you increase the voltage in order to overclock the cpu

severe falcon
#

yeah so it has .5v less to work with

#

although do any of you know how to overclock an rpi? i have a friend who is attempting to turn it into an n64 emulator but it needs more power

subtle hawk
#

you can't overclock 3b+ iirc

severe falcon
#

ooof

subtle hawk
#

it runs at constant 1.4ghz

#

overclocking is a thing for older boards

severe falcon
#

well dang

#

93.75 MHz *1 core > 1.4 GHz * 4 cores

subtle hawk
#

so what are your peripherals for your rpi board

#

I only installed heat sinks and a case on mine

#

and then I just connect it to my tv using either hdmi cable or my custom av cable

severe falcon
#

i have the stick on heatsinks for ram and cpu, the 7" touchscreen and case, logitech wireless keyboard, and a 40mm fan rigged to the back of the case with some screws. the whole thing(except keyboard) is mounted on a 6x2 plank of wood to make it a laptop

#

the plank is probably 20 inches long, but it fits in my backpack so it works

subtle hawk
#

🤔

severe falcon
#

it turns heads when people notice it

subtle hawk
#

you're honestly reminding me of the time I bolted a laptop LCD panel and controller onto the side of a computer case and use that as a laptop

severe falcon
#

lol

flint bobcat
#

I’m still wondering what to do with my rpi

#

Literally sitting on my desk with dust

Yeah I’ve been using pi hole

#

I just want to build something in pi that benefits me

tame topaz
#

Welp, glad to see Asrock stepping up their RGB game on cheaper boards.

subtle hawk
#

using matlab for waifus

#

what a madman

subtle hawk
#

I'm on uni wifi and I can't even get my rpi to connect to it

#

Let alone installing that

severe falcon
#

Of course i use matlab for waifus, but the next graph will actually have some use to it

carmine raven
#

shit

#

Snort is preventing me from logging me into my own console

#

how do i fix this lmao

#

This also happens since I use snort
Both web gui and interface.. I didn't change my password and its 100% correct

@carmine raven it probably disabled root login

Whats the best anti-virus software? Eset?

no need for more than a default antivirus

subtle hawk
#

protip for pihole @stone wave @flint bobcat - never expose it to the internet

flint bobcat
#

wdym GWchinaSakuraThinking

subtle hawk
#

your pihole should not be accessible to anyone on the internet

flint bobcat
#

ah

#

yeah i dont do that

stone wave
#

dont you pretty much have to go out of your way to make it open

flint bobcat
#

my pi-hole is local

subtle hawk
#

you do

flint bobcat
#

can't get accessed unless on my internet

subtle hawk
#

but I still know several people who forward 53 to the internet, for whatever reason

#

and then they wonder why someone's spamming it with queries

flint bobcat
#

i like how it says on how to replicate entyLUL

subtle hawk
#

advisories usually come with PoC code

#

security through obscurity was recognized for the bad practice it was ages ago

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

I mean, it will be found

#

but if your authentication on it is good that doesn't matter

#

problem with pihole is DNS has no auth

#

so you can spoof the source IP and use it to amplify your DoS / DDoS

i.e using in linux

I said sike on the S9+ and just might get the S10

#

not the E or Plus tho

flint bobcat
#

i want to use python because of matlab plotting

#

but want to integrate it into a c application

subtle hawk
#

compile individually, have the python program recieve (and if necessary, send) data via pipes or sockets?

flint bobcat
#

fumizukiStare ?

subtle hawk
#

Have two separate programs

#

And have them do interprocess communication

obtuse dawn
#

Well, that was an adventure

#

Think I got Arch up and running, it at least boots

#

Though I may have done the partitioning wrong, but that's part of the fun is figuring this stuff out

subtle hawk
#

Yeah

flint bobcat
#

Took me a day to figure out the partitioning part

#

But it was worth it

That's the main eater

Or at least i cant use the built in table2array function on a table with both text and category types

subtle hawk

Nope

severe falcon

Well i got it working by removing that data so the final result wont be pretty but itll work

subtle hawk

does matlab not have casting?

Well idk how to go from a text based category to a number so i skipped those parts

Ummm... if your device supports the miracast feature and you have an up to date install of Windows 10 you can do that

another option would be TeamViewer

subtle hawk

there isn't a reliable way

Samsung Dex if you have a compatible Samsung phone but that's a wired solution and doesnt work too well with touchscreen only games

it doesn't steam to the pc

subtle hawk
#

gaps
GWumuSmug

#

gaps are sexy

#

can you do bar gaps on i3 btw?

subtle hawk
#

i3

#

you mean the "I'm a leet haxor" DE

subtle hawk
#

DE
it's a WM you pleb

#

same thng

#

nah

#

yes

#

a DE is a complete set of programs

#

they all are enviroments

#

a WM is missing several things you'd consider standard

#

that's the layman thing ubuntu bois preach

#

its also what arch bois obsessed with minimal systems preach

#

a Desktop Environment can be as minimal or as feature rich as you want it

#

and despite the whole '1337 h@xx0r' associated with i3, tiling WMs have their uses

#

if I wanted the thing you call WM I could use the native shell management system

#

I find them particularly handy on laptops

#

but at the end of the day it's preferring vim/emacs over nano lmao

#

well depends

#

I'm p sure you can't expand nano to the degree you can vim/emacs

#

but then again I never looked too deep into it

#

unless you're talking something like openbox, most non-tiling DE's aren't exactly designed for expansion either

#

and openbox is about as meme as a non-tiling WM/DE gets

#

we don't talk about openbox

#

I know people that use it

#

that's like the forbidden word

#

mainly in this server that's some weird trainwreck of /a/ and /g/

#

only reason I'm on there other than the circlejerk is the number of people there with vapoursynth knowledge

subtle hawk

and to whichever mod warned me, that word wasn't meant as an insult, but I see how it could be taken that way and won't use it as such in the future >_>
