actually more like 5 or 6 years ago

subtle hawk

because G A Y M I N G

#

if you're going to be spending aroudn that much on a mouse, get a g502

#

logitech just works

severe falcon
#

no i wanted to pay the $30 and have a mouse and backup keyboard

subtle hawk
severe falcon
#

cuz it was "gaming" when i bought it in 2015, so that whole gaming argument doesnt make much sense

subtle hawk
#

I lost 1 of 4 RAM sticks confirmed

severe falcon
#

i have a new club member ^

subtle hawk
#

oof

#

Wait was that 4x4?

severe falcon
#

yeah

subtle hawk
#

Mine was 8x4 too

#

Total 32 GB

#

Now it's 24

severe falcon
#

thats 8x4

subtle hawk
#

lel

#

thanks

#

anywaes

#

Now I need to replace it tor something

severe falcon
#

i havent had a problem with just 12 though

#

and i have no idea when i lost it

#

i mightve been running 12 for the past year and not known

subtle hawk
severe falcon
#

the weird thing is that somehow my OS and msi afterburner know the broken one is 4 GB, but special ram testing software only found 12

subtle hawk
#

That software hated dead ramsticks or something

severe falcon
#

maybe but it was like a boot tester, like there was only the bios and that software running as an "OS"

subtle hawk
#

Definitely hates ded RAM

severe falcon
#

but tbh i dont even know if the bios knows i have 16

subtle hawk
#

My PC stopped mid-operations when it froze and stopped

#

The I got 3 long beeps and 2 short beeps

#

So I basically started to swap out RAM modules in hopes of starting it

severe falcon
#

yeah that didnt happen to me, my stick is still in the mobo

subtle hawk
#

New PCs love chaos or something then

severe falcon
#

new pc
>DDR3 ram from 2013 on second to last gen everything else

subtle hawk
#

👀

#

Mine is an OMEN lel

severe falcon
#

funny thing is when i first built it, there was also a broken ram stick and i had to get it replaced

subtle hawk
#

oof

severe falcon
#

but i still had newegg return time so i got a new one for like $10

subtle hawk
subtle hawk
#

mine runs 4x16

4x16
not sure I'd rec going over 32GB total with non-ECC / unbuffered RAM

#

weird things can happen

#

then again unless you're using it to build mission critical code (and you shouldn't be building mission critical code on consumer hardware in the first place) you're prolly fine unless you're really stressing it

#

I keep my PC up for a month or more

subtle hawk
#

5.0 stable

#

/Yae

subtle hawk
#

@subtle hawk I'm not a little kid that doesn't know what he's doing

#

I've been working with firmware and OS low level code for 4, soon 5 years

#

I can tell you this

#

99% of the bugs in linux are because of the potato quality of higher level software

#

define higher level

#

are we talking modules, userspace, what?

#

cuz if we're talking userspace I totally agree

#

userspace ofc

#

vast majority of my problems come back to wm or compositor

#

but what brought this on?

#

sorry, just to tired to figure out where this flowed from

#

me talking about ECC?

#

that having more than 32 GB non ECC is bad

#

well I'll be the first to admit that;s mostly a case of hearing it from people I trust rather than personal experince. Haven't needed > 32GB on consumer hardware to begin with due to my use case still being on the lighter side

#

I can tell you

#

unless you run production apps on that

#

you don't need ECC

#

since RAM errors are like unicorns

#

they happen, people know they happen but nobody ever saw one

#

I'm pretty sure the guy that was telling me that was speaking form simulation experience (he used to run simulations for some oil company, don't remember which one)

#

not exactly a prod app but close enough if he was dealing with a large enough dataset

subtle hawk
#

Anyways

#

Now it's all good

#

soon™

#

not enough reversing tools

#

we got what; ida, bininja, and r2?

#

am I missing anything relevant rn?

#

Yes we have what, ida, bininja, and r2

#

Don't worry

#

Let's just all sleep

#

but that's for the weak

#

So when stat counters show the percentage of what OS the world uses, do they count VMs?

#

I mean that's all self-reported

#

and a lot of people that use linux also use at least one other OS

#

I mean that could be Another Linux distro or Windows

#

Nothing else really

#

To dualboot

#

sure but different phyical machines

#

I used ot have a separate windows only machine

#

I used to do Windows 10, elementaryOS, Phoenix OS and Chromium on my old PC lmao

#

I know one guy that runs ESXi on his laptop for some insane reason

#

Is that the baremetal hypervisor from vmware?

#

yes

#

Jesus

#

he's a student and I'm pretty sure this uni gives out ESXi licenses to all studens in a IS/CS program

#

but even so

#

I want Microsoft to innovate again lol

#

they are tho

#

And improve their stuff

#

win10 is a very innovate piece of spyware

#

Some more ports on Surface Pro 7 (probably USB 4)
A better and cleaner Windows 10
A bit lighter Office
And possibly aa bit less pricing

subtle hawk
#

Office is already way more light that it was used to be

#

Win 10 is as much spyware as mac or other online services

#

people need to get over the idiotic idea that statistical data that they're part of is theirs

tame topaz
subtle hawk
#

oh boi

tame topaz
#

Hard to fix apparently

subtle hawk
#

ppl don't get it

#

you need to have your code run on the system

#

and once you do expose the pages

tame topaz
#

take my data daddy microsoft

subtle hawk
#

you'll still need time to extract the secrets

severe falcon
#

good thing i use amd lololololol

subtle hawk
#

tbh at this point we should just migrate to ARM or any modern RISC cpus

severe falcon
#

But how many a-53s can we shove into a pc cpu size?

subtle hawk
#

A few, maybe

#

It's still weird that x86 is still a dominant architecture in servers and larger computers

severe falcon
#

Yeah i like how straightforward arm7 was when using my rpi, but arm8 gets rid of the fun "one wrong move and my entire comp dies" instructions

subtle hawk
#

AArch64 looks better tbh

#

Still yeah, ARM's main market is still on embedded systems

severe falcon
#

"But i wanted to manually change the program counter"

subtle hawk
#

Easy

#

jmp

severe falcon
#

Well yeah but thats the boring safe way

subtle hawk
#

jmp (Rd)

#

Triggers interrupt if misaligned

subtle hawk
#

if I'm paying for local software that doesn't strictly require an internet connection except for updates, I think i should have the right to opt out of statistical data

#

online software I can understand the statistical data collection, as they can use it to optimize the way they use their resources to some extent

#

same for operating systems

subtle hawk
#

they're not running a constant service aside from the update

I meant this kind of stuff ^

severe falcon

im sorry but if all of that was made by an NN who wasnt just redrawing images and then doing the transitions, i welcome our new overlords

subtle hawk

the transitions are 🔥 alone

severe falcon

yeah half the transitions are long and then i realise there was a character inbetween that i didnt recognize

brave anchor
subtle hawk
#

@brave anchor mostly bcz they're give or tale the same thing?

#

one just has a RT core

#

the other doesn't

flint bobcat
#

Why do you need something so strong, something like a 1070 brings you to 60fps fumizukiStare

brave anchor
#

currently using 1050ti , would need for gaming (mainly Monter hunter World ) and some 3DMAX.

#

gtx 1070/2070 is awfully expensive in my country

#

also , RTX is really nice in battlefield 1

subtle hawk
#

actually using RTX for gaming

#

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL

flint bobcat
#

It’s $300 over here

brave anchor
#

in my country, it RM 2500, about 600$

flint bobcat
#

Jeez

quaint granite
#

how much time should I use a card I wonder

#

bought a 1060 6gb in 2017

#

thinking about upgrading but I've heard ppl suggest waiting for 4 - 5 years between each upgrade

#

cards in my country are awfully expensive tho

subtle hawk
#

@quaint granite that's up to you

#

if you feel like you need more

#

do it

#

if not then just save the money

quaint granite
#

actually i just found out about the RTX 2060's price

#

its only about 15% more expensive than the original 350$ price

#

maybe i just sell my currently using card now to get a better price

#

🤔

#

or i should just buy a console

#

I dont have one and never owned one

brave anchor
#

i also think about to get a ps4 Pro

#

so i can bring it to hometown everytime

quaint granite
#

was a PC gamer since forever

brave anchor
#

no, just a casual every platform gamer :3

quaint granite
#

but console has some good exclusive games

brave anchor
#

horizon

quaint granite
#

then again maybe i should just complete my backlog first before thinking about anything

subtle hawk
#

depends

#

@quaint granite be careful doe

#

console titles are expensive

#

60$ or € a piece

#

unlike pc there's no sale

#

even if there is it's usually 10%

quaint granite
#

ye

#

steam pricing is a boon

#

like reallly

brave anchor
#

steam is really attractive

#

but many game nowday choose to not in steam

subtle hawk
#

not many

brave anchor
#

still playing MHW with friends

#

so , not going to Anthem/division 2

subtle hawk
#

I have division 2 locked and loaded

#

anthem is EA's F76

brave anchor
subtle hawk
#

I'm also enjoying the crap out of zelda rn

subtle hawk
#

v

quaint granite
#

almost all the game not on steam are hot garbage anyway

brave anchor
#

gonna play back Divinity : original sin 2 again

quaint granite
#

I have had that game for ages

#

still havent started

#

was a fan of the original

brave anchor
#

it fun

quaint granite
#

but the new one changed the system

#

into magic armor and shit

#

I hate that

brave anchor
#

it easy for new player that not familiar to old system

quaint granite
#

you cant even apply any buff

#

like at all

#

before you break their magic armor

brave anchor
quaint granite
#

applying buff is like the best shit in the original

#

.........

brave anchor
#

for those magician , i just use the hammer arrow, easy

subtle hawk
#

don't say that

#

division 2 is actually good

#

goobiesoft is on their redemption arc

#

console exclusives are only temporary anyway

#

even if no PC port, emulators

brave anchor
#

@subtle hawk i didnt the beta test of division 2, any thing good?

subtle hawk
#

just expect less stability in most cases

#

it's god damn good

#

it's what the first was was supposed to be

brave anchor
#

hmmmmm

subtle hawk
#

also you can try it out now

#

the open beta is going

brave anchor
#

should get it soon

subtle hawk
#

I participated in 2 technical tests, the alpha and the closed beta

#

and now the open beta

brave anchor
#

release on next week.

subtle hawk
#

indeed

#

the preload should open soon

#

my preorder perks

brave anchor
#

XD

#

wanna see the new crossbow thing

subtle hawk
#

it's p dope

brave anchor
subtle hawk
#

doe I'll play with the .50 cal

#

👀

#

my friends are gonna fill up the grenade launcher and crossbow roles

brave anchor
#

i like to use MG in division 1 to suppress

subtle hawk
#

in D1 I used a supressed sniper with a scope

#

and a AR

#

clapping enemies with a 100k damage shot

brave anchor
#

i just use MG to make sure no enemy move

#

so my friends can go up

#

@subtle hawk hm wait rtx is not a good choice for gaming?

#

of course not

#

You should have said this earlier

#

unless you REALLY want those 10% improvement over 10 series

#

Hm

#

or you're interested in the NVENC

#

Last time I checked rtx2060 is barely better than gtx1070

#

at the same MSRP

#

But if you say so then I'll switch back to 1070

#

unless you actively use RTX features there's no reason to upgrade

#

I didn't upgrade

#

unless you already have a RTX card

#

then might as well keep it

#

what's done is done

#

I live in the dorm since junior high and never had custom build pcs

#

building the first one?

#

Yeah

#

stick with 10 series

#

if you're in luck you can probably find a 1080 Ti for 450$

#

used

#

👀

#

My budget on GPU is around $350 though

#

350

#

that could probably land you a nice used 1080

#

unless you want brand new

#

And yeah I did ask here once about should I go for rtx

#

I already have RTX
Not useful at all
Unless you want futureproofing

#

I said it before

#

I'll say it again

#

RTX isn't for gaymers

#

wait for 2nd or 3rd gen RTX

#

My will to not game has increased

#

as a OS engineer and AI researcher I stand behind my statement

#

lol yeah

#

Why did I expect anything else lul

#

I wanted by new pc mainly for content creation, gaming is just a second plus

#

Still GTX

#

RTX is crap AF rn

#

if you want to stream

#

Yeah I know

#

you cab take a RTX

#

And so is their naming

#

GTX 1660 anyone?

#

because the NVENC encoder is as good as H.264

#

I initially used the 2080 Ti as a gaming card

#

but seeing no difference between it and the 1080 Ti I let it be purely for TENSOR and graphic work

#

nice

brave anchor
#

Many player claim it good in 4k gaming, but it sounds very idiot at 4k gaming in PCmutsukiStare

subtle hawk
#

Ye

#

DLSS currently is crap

brave anchor
#

I seen the 4k and 2k monitor, i can't tell the difference

subtle hawk
#

And why TF 4K for gaming?

brave anchor
#

4k watch movie is Nice, but I would not for gaming

subtle hawk
#

4K TV and 144Hz 1080p monitor is the best

brave anchor
#

144 4k monitor, but you only get 50fps in 4k?

subtle hawk
#

4k@144Hz Thonk

that's like gigabits of bandwidth

#

nvenc as good a h.264
what shitty preset are you using on x264 to get same performance as a GPU encoder

#

sure you need a strong cpu to be able to run x264 on medium preset for streaming, but it looks much better

#

@subtle hawk have you actually used it?

#

don't talk shit like that if you didn't use it

#

guess I'm comparing it to the ayymd implementation, but unless things have changed a lot since the vid I watched comparing AMD vs NVIDIA GPU encoding, I'd be surprised if it was better

never assume something one a experience from ages ago

#

noobish question from a PC master race scrub here
window product key can only be use once correct?

subtle hawk
#

depends on which type @dusky linden

dusky linden
#

window 10 home

subtle hawk
#

the retail key you buy in a standard store can be only used by 1 pc at a time, but can be moved from PC to PC if needed

#

OEM keys are more iffy but unless you're trying to move from a prebuilt to a PC you're building yourself, that's not an issue

dusky linden
#

so what if i have a window 10 on a self built PC

#

then that PC data got corrupted

#

which i need to wipe the whole C drive clean

#

do i need another product key or no?

subtle hawk
#

you shouldn't, no

#

in fact windows will often detect the product key and activate itself these days

dusky linden
#

so it still could work if i use it on a diff PC or no?

#

still window 10 home btw

subtle hawk
#

yes

#

long as you still have the key

#

worst case scenario you'll get an error and have to contact microsoft support

dusky linden

thanks

flint bobcat

So iim going to be upgrading my ram on my laptop, im just thinking if this is the right one

severe falcon
#

So one of my wifi adapters deaded, and this is its antenna. I was expecting something a little more extravagant

flint bobcat

would increasing ram from 8gb to 16gb increase debugging performance

not sure, idk how much extra space debugging programs need but i would think the real performance boost would be from CPU

they wont get slower and everything else about the comp will get faster though

@severe falcon what’s a good amount of space to shrink to dual boot Linux

severe falcon
#

bruh i have no idea lol, consult the masters like yamato

flint bobcat
#

Sadly he’s offline

#

@subtle hawk

severe falcon
#

well my "dual boot" is my pc and then rpi

#

so im not much help

flint bobcat
#

lul

subtle hawk
#

which linux

#

@flint bobcat

flint bobcat
#

Debian

subtle hawk
#

and how much are you trying to do with it

flint bobcat
#

Well gonna be using it as my second os

subtle hawk
#

if you're just taking it for a test run, as little as 20GB should be fine. If you're planning on installing a lot of programs, I'd say at least 50

flint bobcat
#

I did 150gb AkagiLul

subtle hawk
#

that's plenty to be on the safe side

#

and debian's a good choice for a start to dual booting

flint bobcat
#

i wanted to do arch, but they dont support python-dev extension

subtle hawk
#

can always build a custom package

#

but if it's your first time dualbooting, arch proooobably isn't the best choice lol

#

there's a very good install guide, but if you mess up a single step you can be left pulling your hair out for hours trying to figure out what went wrong

flint bobcat
#

yea lol

#

i used vmware to install arch

#

it took me around 2-3 days to get the hang of partitioning the drive

Yep, it under the metal shields, it soldiered and you can't move it

Always research a laptop before you grab it. I didn't, last time ... and got a (by my standards) POS

LMAO

mental coyote
#

I swear, crap like board-soldered ram/unremovable batteries ... I blame the obsession with thinner, lighter machines.

subtle hawk
#

And money

maiden plume
#

Genral rule of thumb is that upgradable laptops are expensive, now a days most are PGA and soldered.

mental coyote
#

I'm willing to pay extra, for something I can do most fixes/upgrades in-house.
Of course, I'm obviously the minority opinion, as regards lappies. warShrug

maiden plume

The enthusiast laptop communinty is a minority sadly

mental coyote
#

Eventually, I just need to break down and build a home machine.

maiden plume
#

and its mostly "notebook" /desktop replacements

#

I have a laptop but decided to build a pc for homebase, its all in the timing and budget i guess? A maxed out laptop would cost around $6k+ an above average PC would be around $1.2 to 2k depending on where you live

#

Laptop is still alive though and its from 2012 (PC is 2014) LeanderXD

mental coyote
#

Yea. If you buy upward and/or know yer shit, you can run a laptop for years.
Hell, I only bother upgrading if I see significant cpu speed upgrades.

#

Or a better overall chip architecture

maiden plume

True, "dont fix it if it aint broke" applies to almost everything 😂

lenovo fucked a thinkpad (nevermind that its the thin one) with soldered ram?

thin thinkpads shouldn't exist in the first place

unless they're built like the way hp built my envy x360 (enitre chassis is metal so it is deceptively heavy)

So when did minecraft go from a laggy pos to a polished game to an even laggier pos?

tame topaz
#

Mine isn't even a thin laptop

severe falcon
#

I was gonna see the new stuff in it but turning the setting down is apparently the same as setting rocket league to max settings in terms of fps

subtle hawk
#

don't ask me

#

haven't touched Minecraft in years

subtle hawk
#

it's always been a RAM hog

subtle hawk
#

Me too

#

Maybe the reason is that it's in Java

subtle hawk
#

didn't it get rewritten in another language after M$ bought them?

#

or am I getting games mixed up now

#

it's not a RAM hog until you load it with mods

#

I mean I can run the fully fledged version on my phone or rPi with no problem

#

and that's the bedrock version you're thinking of

#

it's the more simple non moddable version

severe falcon
#

Yeah its not a ram problem rn, its an actual cpu/gpu problem cuz its just so laggy

#

I mean i can run stoneblock modpack just fine and thats basically like running a 20 person server with the amount of intensive mods, but apparently vanilla minecraft just hates working

subtle hawk
#

it was still rather inefficient

#

the way they loaded chunks was... odd to say the least

severe falcon
#

Also i believe the pc minecraft is still java

subtle hawk
#

but the server got hit more with that than the client

#

it's normal to load them like that

#

@severe falcon as I said before

#

2 versions

#

one is the old one in java

severe falcon
#

Oh oops didnt see that

subtle hawk
#

and the other is bedrock edition in C++ or C#

#

can't remember

severe falcon
#

But wait then that means that java is better than c++/c# smugBucky

subtle hawk
#

bedrock one is a lot more forgiving than the java one

severe falcon
#

Well the java version has never had this lag problem since it was still in beta and i was using a 9" netbook

subtle hawk
#

because the java one runs in a JVM

#

so it's super strict with resources

#

while the bedrock version uses as much as it can

severe falcon
#

Also what idiot decided to force singleplayer to be a hosted server so i still get server lag?

subtle hawk
#

u don't

#

don't lie to yourself

severe falcon
#

Oh yes i do

subtle hawk
#

that so called "server" lag is the tickrate taking a nosedive from ur mods

severe falcon
#

Wait like the breaking blocks and then they reappear and then actually break is tickrate?

subtle hawk
#

and most games that have both SP and MP run a dedicated server in the background when you load into a SP map

#

yes that's tickrate

#

having a asston of shit running in the background like timers, machines, etc will nuke it

severe falcon
#

Oof

subtle hawk
#

that's why back when I hosted a modded server I forbidded less than 1 second timers

#

abd reworked some of the mods to use their tick time more efficiently

severe falcon
#

Ah, well i remember a time when a vanilla factions server got literal seconds of lag when redstone lit up next to a piston, so i guess i was comparing it to that

subtle hawk
#

a rule we had

severe falcon
#

We learned this when our faction decided to make a redstone elevator at our monument area at spawn

subtle hawk
#

don't build stupid shit that spams something

severe falcon
#

Well this was like 8 pistons seperated by a repeater at max delay, and BOY that server had to be on fire when anyone pressed that button

subtle hawk
#

big doubt it was just that

severe falcon
#

Well i decided to leave new minecraft after the lag and instead got a mod for starbound and became ultimate robot ruler of the world

subtle hawk
#

it must've had one of those ms timers

severe falcon
#

Well like a piston then repeater then piston etc 8 times and on a 100 person server that was at least 60 at all times. AND it was on beta

#

Also i think it was their own server but not really sure

#

Its been almost a decade at this point

flint bobcat
#

I installed immersive engineering mod

HTTP was initally conceived in 1991

yeah I know

with the public HTTP appearing in 1999

same with HTML

it's more like the year it was first proposed

#

so AT&T has finally decided to start fully ripping me off with 4G, it barely works until i go to a website that tests the connection speed and then it magically is perfectly fine until i go to something else like azur lane or discord

#

just spent the past 2ish hours downloading the 71.9 MB AL update with 50-82 Mbps MEASURED speed

#

i got the AL loading icon 3 times in a row before it actually registered my action every single time i tapped anything, and discord could barely load icons, then i went to speedtest.net and it told me i had a stable 82 Mbps

#

unless AT&T forces you to use the local server which doesnt even show up on the speedtest

subtle hawk
#

lmfao

severe falcon
#

cuz that 82 Mbps was connecting to a server literally 90 miles away in dallas

subtle hawk
#

Hm

severe falcon
#

and i looked at an outage map and my city istn highlighted at all

subtle hawk
#

Your phone reports 82mbps speed?

severe falcon
subtle hawk
#

that's a lie

#

I meant your phone's connection speed meter

severe falcon
#

on android, where do i find that

subtle hawk
#

depends on implementation laffeyDrink

#

MIUI has one

#

Yup

#

OneUI has it too

severe falcon
#

wait so its a third party app?

subtle hawk
#

For some yes

severe falcon
#

oh yeah im on a samsung Note 5 so theres no way they would put incriminating evidence on the screen

subtle hawk
#

Yae

severe falcon
#

also ive found speedtest.net to be pretty accurate as to how my ISP is ripping me off

subtle hawk
#

lmao

#

lol

severe falcon
#

but my ISP is actually smart so they dont do contracts and leave it vague so that they can blame traffic on the slow speeds and legally get away with it

subtle hawk
#

Yeah I can imagine they put speed testing sites as an exception

severe falcon
#

and my work cant have wifi due to security reasons(at least i think) so i cant play the new update until i get home 7 hours from now

subtle hawk
#

oof

#

oof

#

Wait

#

Thailand?

#

And I can confirm the phone's meter going up to 2MB/s while testing

severe falcon
#

oof thats a big discrepancy

subtle hawk
#

Yes

severe falcon
#

but i swear its accurate to my home PC cuz im supposed to get 100Mbps and it shows me about 6 on speedtest

subtle hawk
#

We have fast internet here due to high competition

severe falcon
#

highest ive seen was 33Mbps but that was calculating from steam download rate when it went crazy one time

subtle hawk
#

Nice

severe falcon
#

not when the worst package is 50Mbps and we arent even getting that paying for the next step up

subtle hawk
#

Highest I've seen in person was like 150+mbps on high school dorm's internet at late night

severe falcon
#

i have only measured my last universities wifi with MB/s and it hit about 40 MB/s on the abandoned side of the school

#

big city internet actually has competition so they have to make it good

subtle hawk
#

40MB/s monkaS

#

Also can wifi get that high?

icy perch
#

100MB/s is bae

subtle hawk
#

lol

#

Yes

#

That's literally hitting the gigabit limit in most LAN cards

severe falcon
#

though technically if i could unlock the network limiting on my work comp, i could use the full gigabit

#

its limited to 50Mbps

icy perch
#

residential gigabit unfortunately fluctuates. I can rarely push 100MB/s

severe falcon
#

this is business gigabit and idk fully but it seems to be the real deal

subtle hawk
#

Still, it's the fastest connection medium you normally use

#

It gets more and better wires than usb

icy perch
#

@severe falcon yup. I used to have equipment at a few datacenters and those connections are even better than business. Unfortunately they don't reside at home

#

All my sysadmin friends are all operating on 10Gbit low end though.

severe falcon
#

though the actual inter network speed is hard to tell cuz of all the traffic to the server. but i can transfer 1/4 GB in less than a second

icy perch
#

I have to question how much data collection is going on when a retail store has 10Gbit dark fiber

#

even worse is those are 100Gbit lines they're only utilizing 10Gbit

subtle hawk
#

Networking is still fascinating thing to me

#

All those protocol layers that abstracts the connection

severe falcon
#

there was one company here that got internet from the ISP really early on and so they basically have an unbranched connection to the isp, they said they paid for 10 Gbit and got around 80

subtle hawk
severe falcon

Well, #1 it's not mobile friendly.

severe falcon
#

well it seems to resize well on desktop

subtle hawk
#

Yes
I focused on desktop lol

icy perch
#

this contrast is terrible and hard on the eyes, and the noncentered apply now with the quotes kills me inside

subtle hawk
#

On phone?

icy perch
#

Desktop

subtle hawk
#

oof

#

The layout isn't designed for mobile

icy perch
subtle hawk
#

some screen css rules would fix it though

icy perch
severe falcon
#

btw that apply now changes its relation to the quotes like it centered on a part that changes width more than that block

subtle hawk
#

lol Facebook

icy perch
#

the quote lines are centered whereas the apply now/ bubbles are relative / anchored to the left

subtle hawk
#

Yup
Facebook is must in Bangladesh and India

#

It's also a main social media here

severe falcon
#

honestly the website i did for a school project was just pure html, css, and javascript from scratch with no templates, and it had zero mobile design to it but resized everything perfectly on the mobile width

#

wait i wonder if it hasnt been wiped yet

icy perch
#

@subtle hawk for those circles (apply now and facebook) change the fb-circle class so left and margin-left are gone, and add margin: 0 auto. Change display to block.
