[tranquil pebble]

ya know if YouTube made the ads less annoying people wouldn't be blocking them left and right

[elfin mural]

i miss old yt ads

the small banners

[hollow barn]

2 on one window and another single one in a seperate window

[elfin mural]

they're not so annoying

[paper verge]

dorito ads

[hollow barn]

Engine exploded ad

[craggy shoal]

Congratulations on mod Foxy

[tranquil pebble]

Putting ads literally over top of content/in the way of it was never acceptable before

[craggy shoal]

I'll block ads by any means tbh

[paper verge]

i mean

they gotta make money somehow

[craggy shoal]

don't even argue that

[hollow barn]

Then use a pihole

[craggy shoal]

already am

[hollow barn]

then there is no need for an adblocker on the browser

[craggy shoal]

there is? 💀

[paper verge]

i dont see ads but still someones gotta eat

[craggy shoal]

Pi Hole doesn't block YouTube ads

[tranquil pebble]

Actually there still is... to catch whatever pihole misses

[hollow barn]

That is just doing what it is supposed to do, you don't want to get sued by YouTube right?

[craggy shoal]

Maybe I'm radical, but I really hate ads. Idc. I'll do anything to block them

[craggy shoal]

Getting sued by YouTube for blocking ads? 💀

[elfin mural]

using adblocker isn't illegal

you can say it's piracy but eh

[hollow barn]

uh yeah it is, it is literally Piracy.

[elfin mural]

no one's stealing anything

it's just blocking content

ad is content

[craggy shoal]

I even have Sponsor Block on my browsers

[paper verge]

bruhhhhhh

[elfin mural]

and blocking content is not illegal

[paper verge]

your crazy mate

[elfin mural]

so like

argue it all you want

[hollow barn]

Okay, i would get threatened again by them if i do it again.

[elfin mural]

it ain't changing anyone's minds

[hollow barn]

Yes, they lit. sent something that brought the message across of "Don't use adblock again or..."

[elfin mural]

They can't do anything

No matter whatever they say

[craggy shoal]

Don't care. I'm still blocking ads. They're still gaining money regardless despite the lack of me, a single user (and of course thousands of others) blocking ads. People will actually pay for YouTube Premium (and I may be a future customer just for YouTube Music in the near future). So they're still making money

Besides, ads don't pay much anyways. And they especially don't do much for a multi-billion- to trillion-dollar company

[hollow barn]

okay, i can't just use an adblock because eventually that get's recognised in YouTube and then i can't use YouTube

[elfin mural]

Maybe consider using dns lol

Browsers have that built in

[dusk knot]

If you're a heavy user of YouTube, premium is sadly worth it.

[hollow barn]

DNS?

[elfin mural]

I disagree

[hollow barn]

Dynamic Name Server?

[elfin mural]

Never paid for premium, satisfied with blocking ads and using sponsorblock

[craggy shoal]

That's what I'm thinking. The Music portion for me alone is worth it (at least with a student discount)

[elfin mural]

I even use revanced

[hollow barn]

idk what you mean with dns

[elfin mural]

Background playback for zero dimes spent

[dusk knot]

Is it really that good? 🤔

No hiccups?

[elfin mural]

It works just fine

[hollow barn]

That is then just straight up admitting to piracy.

[craggy shoal]

I even have ad blockers for my Safari browser on my iPad for when I want to watch YouTube in bed. I just don't use the YouTube app

[elfin mural]

Is it really piracy if google doesn't bat an eye

But Imma not talk any further, since I'm walking on a thin line

[craggy shoal]

This guy doesn't even know the definition of piracy

[dusk knot]

Hm

[hollow barn]

Obtaining Software/Service that needs to be paid.

but without paying

[craggy shoal]

I like to call it as just "Stealing" but sure I guess that works

[hollow barn]

Stealing what?

[craggy shoal]

Like stealing a movie or somehow obtaining it to watch it for free

[elfin mural]

It's a complicated topic so I'd rather not speak any more of it

[hollow barn]

okay, but how are you gonna add an adblock to Safari:

Safari is ancient

[elfin mural]

Who uses safari

[paper verge]

saying stealing like its an active real life crime

[hollow barn]

ikr?

[craggy shoal]

Go to the App Store and download an ad blocker 💀

That's how you're supposed to do it

[elfin mural]

^

[craggy shoal]

and I've already mentioned that I do that on my iPad

[hollow barn]

on Windows was meant?

[craggy shoal]

on my iPad

[hollow barn]

iPad, gotta love wasting money

[elfin mural]

It's one of the best tablets

Been like that since day one

[paper verge]

ipad is bleh

[craggy shoal]

It's nice when you need a bigger screen but don't need a laptop

[hollow barn]

okay, But there are better options than apple

[elfin mural]

Samsung?

$300 tablets with midrange soc at best

[craggy shoal]

Even better for taking notes at school. Far better than an Android or Windows tablet in my experience

[elfin mural]

Apple slaps high end, even if sometimes last year's soc

[hollow barn]

You compare apple with cheap tech

[elfin mural]

$300 ipads exist

those base models

[paper verge]

isnt that the ipad 9

[craggy shoal]

Even just a normal iPad with an Apple Pencil and presumably a case for the iPad, which costs around $500, is way cheaper than getting an okay-ish Windows laptop and using OneNote

[paper verge]

isnt the pro like $1300

[hollow barn]

Yeah sure, that is more a pipe dream for apple users if it costs below 1000€

[elfin mural]

ipad 9 is still plenty good

[craggy shoal]

Yes this is what I used for school and note taking and it was amazing

[paper verge]

had one but it died on me

[hollow barn]

Apple is needlessly expensive.

[paper verge]

sad

[elfin mural]

rip

[craggy shoal]

But I gave it to my gf and now I have her iPad Mini 5 and she's using it for note taking (she's getting her PhD)

[paper verge]

is it just me or virtual notes suck

[craggy shoal]

I agree. IMO they should make a regular MacBook. They have the Air and the Pro, but they need a regular one like how their iPad lineup is: regular, Mini, Air, and Pro

Only a Mini MacBook would be weird

[hollow barn]

Like yeah, there are better options than Apple on Price (and i mean like maybe 700€)

[craggy shoal]

Just a $400 to $500 MacBook with like an M2 chip and 8GB of memory that isn't meant to be super nice or super light would be fine imo

Just a base model

[paper verge]

youve seen those asus tuf laptops

pretty nice for the price cant lie

[elfin mural]

I own one

[hollow barn]

Anyways, i'm soon getting Kebab

[elfin mural]

Pretty good cooling

[hollow barn]

I have a Asus Aspire 3

[craggy shoal]

I need a way to mount my speakers to the bottom of my desk

[elfin mural]

you mean

acer

[hollow barn]

Yeah

That is something that happens if i don't fully check the words.

I got an Acer Aspire 3 With an 11th Gen Intel Core i3

And since i had low expectations of it, it surprised me on multiple occasions

[craggy shoal]

My gf needs a new laptop

[elfin mural]

i was gonna get helios neo 16

[hollow barn]

If it is for gaming: that is not the laptop.

i tried.

[paper verge]

2021 m1 mac should be still great

[hollow barn]

But one thing stays the same: Macs are not for gaming

[craggy shoal]

Nah she needs something that's light and good for watching movies. She has an iPad as well as a desktop. But I've tried giving her so many laptops and there's always issues with the audio. They're typically sub-$1000 laptops, but I'm always annoyed with how the audio is handled

It's always either too quiet or crappy mic quality

[hollow barn]

I still recommend something stronger.

[craggy shoal]

This is what I'm thinking tbh

[paper verge]

bro then just get her a sum xm5s

or something

[craggy shoal]

The over-ears? She'll be in bed using it most of the time laying on her side

I'm also talking particularly the microphone audio. I feel like I'm always having her tune settings in Discord and she gets super annoyed

[hollow barn]

I know how the experience is with on ear while laying on the side.

[craggy shoal]

For now, I've just decided to get her a MacBook given that the audio should just work

[hollow barn]

[craggy shoal]

Plus I can use Chrome extensions like Sharepass and Teleparty to watch movies with her

[elfin mural]

and good speakers right out of the bat

[craggy shoal]

Bro we're on the same boat trust me. Windows laptops just haven't been giving me good options, and I have years of experience with this

[craggy shoal]

Yes this too

[hollow barn]

Wait, Apple still can run 64 Bit Windows applications?

[elfin mural]

good speakers on windows laptops?

either buy an xps or nothing

[paper verge]

xps is expensive

[craggy shoal]

They natively can run Chrome. Always have been

[hollow barn]

on my laptop: already too late, i already got it.

[elfin mural]

yeah xps is the macbook pro of windows

lol

[hollow barn]

Oh i forgot they have Intel CPU's -w-

[craggy shoal]

My previous coworkers have had somewhat bad experiences with XPS laptops lol

[elfin mural]

m1

that's not intel

chrome extensions aren't bound to one os

[craggy shoal]

I had a MacBook Air (M1) for a second until I sent it back because it was too easy for me to use. I installed Chrome on it as the first thing

[hollow barn]

Huh, LTT literally talked that MacBooks have Intel chips

[elfin mural]

they're built into chrome

[craggy shoal]

Either an older video or just old news

[elfin mural]

macbooks since like 2021 have stopped using intel

[craggy shoal]

They've switched to solely use their own M-series chips

[elfin mural]

uh no

[craggy shoal]

no?

[elfin mural]

actually i think 2023 or something

arm macs

[hollow barn]

no, they still use Intel.

[elfin mural]

nope

there's no intel macbooks

[craggy shoal]

They don't use Intel my guy

[elfin mural]

they're all arm powered

[craggy shoal]

Go find me an Intel-powered Mac
https://www.apple.com/mac/

[hollow barn]

So you're telling me that this is not using Intel?

[craggy shoal]

Which MacBook is that? lol

[hollow barn]

So they literally lied to their own fanbase the whole time.

[elfin mural]

yeah which one

you're probably watching a show about older ones

[hollow barn]

it's a mac, aka: a useless piece of weight.

[elfin mural]

you say something and don't care to explain it

[craggy shoal]

Bruh the usage of M-series chips by Apple is well documented lmao

[hollow barn]

okay, You know Apple right?

[elfin mural]

yes, but i also hate apple too

[hollow barn]

Their innovation is just stagnated

[elfin mural]

we're on the same boat

but pls verify your info before saying it

[hollow barn]

Like 1.2K for just a laptop that overheats:

[elfin mural]

2019

oh ya

[craggy shoal]

Okay now go to 2020

[elfin mural]

that's pre m series

[craggy shoal]

This may sound crazy but 2019 was five years ago

[hollow barn]

they don't change, they just lied.

[elfin mural]

they didn't?

[craggy shoal]

You're either an idiot or idk what you're saying and you don't care to explain what they lied about

[hollow barn]

The iPhones: Only the the [Funny] Camera changed

[elfin mural]

im not defending for apple

but you're just misinformed

[hollow barn]

That they switched to Arm

[elfin mural]

they switched to arm and made it known

[hollow barn]

https://tenor.com/wmWq.gif

[craggy shoal]

They switched to Arm in 2020. This is very well documented information 💀

[elfin mural]

are you stuck in 2019?

[hollow barn]

Somewhat, but i just have a Burning hate for the brand

[elfin mural]

https://support.apple.com/en-us/111893

Specs from apple

[craggy shoal]

A news article from 2020 on Apple's website
https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/06/apple-announces-mac-transition-to-apple-silicon/

[hollow barn]

Like even Thermite is getting jealous how hot my burning hate of apple is

[elfin mural]

M-series chips from apple are based on arm ISA

Modified but it's still arm by design

[hollow barn]

Pff, can't even manufacture themselves the chips, weak

[elfin mural]

Not a disguise of Intel

[craggy shoal]

I've never met someone who hates Apple this much to say something so incorrect about them 💀

[elfin mural]

That logic would apply to Intel too, ngl

Can't even make their own x86-64 lol

AMD invented that

[ancient swift]

Intels the only one who makes their own chips though. Cause they own the foundry

[elfin mural]

But not the architecture

[hollow barn]

okay, AMD Invented x86-64, i give them that toast, but Intel still roasted them to death in the past in Single Core Performance.

[elfin mural]

If we're playing with that logic, I'm playing it too

[ancient swift]

AMD and Nvidia both pay TSMC

[hollow barn]

And Intel before that Was licencing x86 to AMD

[elfin mural]

Apple designed the chips themselves

ARM is just an architecture

[hollow barn]

I mean like making the Silicon chips

[craggy shoal]

"in-house" meaning they make the silicon chips

[elfin mural]

Basically no one produces the silicons themselves

[hollow barn]

Okay, then they at least move forwards.

[ancient swift]

Apple and Intel are literally the only consumer ones that do lol.

[hollow barn]

Yeah, Apple didn't make ARM

[elfin mural]

Yes

But why do you have a problem about that lol

[hollow barn]

The main issue i have is that the Price of apple is just so absurdly high

[ancient swift]

Do you also get mad at companies for not making their own LCD panels?

[hollow barn]

Especially the latest VR headset they made.

[hollow barn]

I use a samsung monitor, but i can't be upset that Apple used Samsung parts because they at least are something good.

[ancient swift]

Their VR headset falls in line with pricing for similar things.

It's not a quest or vive it's a AR headset. Microsofts also was 3000$. Neither product were for people like you.

[hollow barn]

okay (plays with Meta Quest 2)

[craggy shoal]

AR ain't exactly cheap lol

[hollow barn]

i do agree that the Meta Quest 2 is starter tech from my view

[hollow barn]

[craggy shoal]

I'd rather pay the extra bit to have a Quest 3 imo

[hollow barn]

And i got the Meta Quest 2 used.

and when i got it it was most likely not out yet.

[craggy shoal]

okay

[hollow barn]

It was around 2022 christmas i guess...

i think the Quest 3 came out somewhere 2023?

oh wait, google exists.

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I've been using it throughout these arguments we've been having

[ancient swift]

Apple doesn't make "bad" products. They just aren't good for what you would use them for.

It'd be like saying a motorcycle is bad for not being a truck.

[hollow barn]

Yeah after my birthday

Anyways. i'm gonna have a day

[paper verge]

ok have a day 👍

[craggy shoal]

:) 👍

[hollow barn]

Not a bad day, not a great day, just a... Day

Thanks btw

Before i fade to nothing: Apple intentionally slows down older Apple iPhones after an update to prevent it from crahsing!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[craggy shoal]

Oh nah that's true

I have experience with that one 💀

[hollow barn]

At least that is something i know that is as far i know true

[craggy shoal]

I think it's really due to optimization though. Not that they do it exactly on purpose, but they stop caring for last year's iPhone every release

So that iPhone 12 you got a couple years ago has been heavily slowed down because they never optimized iOS for it

(I have experience with this because I'm currently on an iPhone 12)

Used to be super quick until a couple of annual iOS updates dropped

Anyways I'm playing Supermarket Simulator and I'm making these customers pay $2.75 for a bottle of water

[elfin mural]

It's optimization and I think intentionally slowing down as the batt ages

[craggy shoal]

I like to think that they intentionally don't optimize for older iPhones lol

[elfin mural]

iPhones know its battery's health too

Or that

[unreal trail]

[elfin mural]

I hate samsung phones tho

Owning one is annoying

[sinful blade]

Better to pay the people to work on new stuff than to work on outdated

[elfin mural]

Everything is great but audio

Good speakers, horrible usb audio implementation

[craggy shoal]

I hate Samsung people thinking their phone is cheaper when in reality it's basically the same price for the same phone every year, just like Apple

[elfin mural]

Samsung just depreciates faster

[craggy shoal]

Same argument. Different company 💀

[sinful blade]

Well, means I’m not upgrading past 7800x3d

[elfin mural]

And win 10 is losing support next year

Pick your poison

Run outdated os or linux

[unreal trail]

honestly lame

[elfin mural]

Linux is decent but

It's a different experience

[unreal trail]

quit trying to force me into OS updates smhmh

[elfin mural]

w11 is basically just another skin

[sinful blade]

Hey foxy, does a 1660s support dual 1080p monitors?

[elfin mural]

yes

that's like

what a gt 710 can do too

so don't worry

[sinful blade]

Wasn’t sure
Ty

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZdqWRK

Is there anything with ram or storage I can optimize

[elfin mural]

neh

all looks ok

but

[sinful blade]

Hm?

[elfin mural]

i insist you using a520m tuf

[sinful blade]

I will when armoury crate isn’t toxic

[craggy shoal]

I hate Armoury Crate

[elfin mural]

msi dragon center is cancer too

so like

don't use any

[craggy shoal]

I've heard Dragon Center is worse than Armoury Crate (somehow)

[sinful blade]

I uninstall it

[elfin mural]

yep

armoury crate is tolerable enough to me

but msi is probably worse

[sinful blade]

I have experience with msi and gigabyte mobo now

You’d save me like $60 if you have a spare case tbh

[tranquil pebble]

Why have you not changed your status yet? Its more trouble than its worth having that word in it

[craggy shoal]

I'd still sell it. I wouldn't just give it away. Probably for like $25 but I don't feel like shipping it

You in Houston by any chance?

specifically this case btw

[gleaming rivet]

Noice.

Was curious because I'm directly north of you so shipping would be a straight shot from you to me.

[craggy shoal]

How far north if you don't mind me asking?

I'm north west of Houston, just outside the Sam Houston Tollway

@gleaming rivet

I also need to sell a bunch of other parts bruh

I have too many parts and my closet is stacked

[gleaming rivet]

Idk what I was thinking when I said I was directly north of you. I'm still half asleep. I'm actually a 1.5 day drive north-west.

[craggy shoal]

[gleaming rivet]

Tried to DM you.

[rancid juniper]

anybody likes marvel or play games similar to overwatch (lel)

[dusk knot]

[hollow barn]

https://tenor.com/bDL3d.gif

[rancid juniper]

look i just want to give away a key nothing crazy

[dusk knot]

Sigh ....

How big is the download?

[rancid juniper]

iirc around 18gb

its a closed alpha

9 days remaining

[hollow barn]

the size of GTA V in download size.

[rancid juniper]

afaik

[dusk knot]

Maybe I'll watch you stream

[rancid juniper]

i guess ill stream it later today yea

[hollow barn]

Anyways, should i make a ethernet cable carry USB data? (USB 2.x)

[craggy shoal]

That moment when you engineer a phone stand to be better than one of the more popular ones on Thingiverse 😎

[craggy shoal]

Yo how would this work?

[hollow barn]

The datapins are like a normal USB cord, but then the power is distributed across the rest.

[craggy shoal]

try it

I'm curious

[rancid juniper]

you got a favorite marvel hero? @dusk knot

[craggy shoal]

Isn't that basically just a COM cable (only with a USB end and not a serial end)?

[rancid juniper]

COM

old

[craggy shoal]

nah wait I don't think it's COM, is it?

I'm talking about the one that you connect to an Ethernet switch to communicate to it

[hollow barn]

I saw a video of it, that is why i'm talking about it.

And my Internet connectino is dying

[hollow barn]

And so is my English i just noticed 😂

[craggy shoal]

Oh you mean basically an Ethernet to USB adapter

[hollow barn]

It's as if you put USB Signals through RJ45

[craggy shoal]

Gotcha. So the other way around

[hollow barn]

i only saw that done once.

[dusk knot]

Good question....

[rancid juniper]

[swift sable]

Have any interesting ddr3? lol

What stuff did you wanna get rid of

[craggy shoal]

I have basically a whole FX platform (8350, a motherboard for it, and 16GB of DDR3)

[hollow barn]

Anyways, i got no cable/Port i could butcher up to test that.

But i got a soldering gun

@rancid juniper spiderman. But I'm more of a fan of groups like the X-Men, the avengers, the runaways, and like the guardians of the galaxy.

[craggy shoal]

Also probably won't ship it

[rancid juniper]

ok

[dusk knot]

I'll download it when I get home

[rancid juniper]

you need a key for it tho

😂

In the lobby

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[hollow barn]

Meanwhile me watching: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o_X9mffELNs

[elfin mural]

disable tpm

it might be the cause

unless you play valorant

alright good

go to security tab of your bios i think

then find tpm settings

or ftpm

tpm is just a security feature

go there, change tpm mode to off or disabled

Use the switch

Don't erase it

no

disable erase

but you did it right for the top option

should be good now

wifi issue is drivers or the wifi card/chip itself being trash

err, well try capping fps

[wispy knot]

You finally understand the glorious machine gods of final fantasy?

[sinful blade]

I do

[wispy knot]

Ok well when you hear a knock next don't worry, it's definitely not a l'Cie sent to assassinate you

[wary fjord]

U mean vsync? Why you want to disable gsync

[hollow barn]

The coin of Truth

[granite stirrup]

lets say i silled liquid on my keyboard and its somewhatr working now

how is it the main enter, alt, and windows key doesnt work

oh now the questionmark too

[worthy meteor]

As long as it was just water, just take off the key caps and let it dry

[pliant berry]

the liquid could be shorting certain area, as mr1 said you should try to let it dry

[velvet summit]

Liquid is fluid and can move

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/809840106478502011/1238911243696345240/IMG_9601.png?ex=66410182&is=663fb002&hm=8057b161e0617c97326499fb9dd9d1e5591e8694169302fa077188c49a3378a9&

[granite stirrup]

bro this keyboard was wet like amonth ago

well months

I would tthink the liquids would have fried the whole thing

well ill just bnuuuyyy a new keyboard .

need something water roof lmao

[heavy dew]

Pretty sure that’s the coin of 50 cents

[hollow barn]

From where though?

[heavy dew]

From 50 cent the rapper

[nocturne flicker]

Its a Mexican coin, worth 50 centavos or 3 cents in USD

The eagle and snake on a cactus is the national symbol of Mexico and Estados Unidos Mexicanos translates to the United Mexican States, which is the official name of Mexico

It is specifically the larger aluminum brass ones that they used before the Great Recession, which was replaced with a stainless steel coin with a similar design but smaller

[hollow barn]

I still question: How the fun did it end up at my family?

[nocturne flicker]

Someone either went to Mexico or came from Mexico, had one on them and either paid with it, dropped it or what have you and it eventually managed to wind up in hands of someone you are related to. It happens, I occasionally grap foreign coins from the reject bin at coin counters

[hollow barn]

Nope, i got it from my mother...

[nocturne flicker]

So unless she went to Mexico or was at one point living there and came here, she either found it or if she frequents coin shows, bought it from a foreign coin junk bin for a couple of cents

[hollow barn]

i think it was mistaken for a 0.20€

[nocturne flicker]

Then it would've been given in change for something she purchased. Which means someone came from Mexico, bought something and paid with it, the cashier didn't recognize it as foreign and gave it back in change. Which is one of the sources I said in the first message

[hollow barn]

Oh damn, i didn't catch that

I'm quite tired...

[craggy shoal]

my keyboard is warm wtf

guys is that normal? 💀

[hollow barn]

Just Turn off the integrated Heater.

[mental yoke]

i dont think so..?

[craggy shoal]

It's maybe like fever temperatures warm. Nothing insane lol

Imma switch keyboards lol

[hollow barn]

Did you turn on the heater that is included?

[mental yoke]

i got my son a car for his graduation present

🥺

[craggy shoal]

What car?

[mental yoke]

2015 Chevy Malibu

[craggy shoal]

What 💀

[hollow barn]

Your keyboard has a low power heater to prevent cold hands.

[mental yoke]

I genuinely started crying when his name got called.

[craggy shoal]

I changed to my Keychron V4 with Boba U4T switches. I love how this thing sounds 😮‍💨

[sinful blade]

Man
Sounds like a pretty present dad thing to do

[mental yoke]

I’m so proud of him..

[hollow barn]

sounds good, How long is the key travel?

[craggy shoal]

idk

deep

feels nice

sounds nice too

I want new key caps on this keyboard lol

[hollow barn]

That is something to be proud of

[craggy shoal]

3.7mm apparently

[mental yoke]

im so happy he made it

he used to tell me when he first started hs: “dad, im not gonna make it”

[hollow barn]

Dang, i'm the person that loves Laptop style keyboards.

[craggy shoal]

I hate laptop keyboards

[mental yoke]

Low profile?

[hollow barn]

Yeah, the keyboards that don't have that much key travel...

[craggy shoal]

I need a low profile for work

[mental yoke]

hm

[hollow barn]

Dang 🥹

[mental yoke]

i can try to recommend you one

[hollow barn]

i currently don't have mone

But i have that:

[mental yoke]

i told him “son, there’s one thing you have to remember, worry about yourself, not others, youre doing this for yourself and yourself only, don’t do anything stupid that will make you look that way”

and when he came to me he said: “dad, I did it, I remembered what you told me, and look at me now, Im graduated”

[hollow barn]

I got that from the internship place.

[gentle canyon]

@elfin mural congrats

That’s actually really funny

The context of that GIF

[golden aspen]

yall i got offered to shoot a rap music vid for 100. i need ur guys opinion

im a 17 y/o girl that wlll be behind a camera while these 25 year old guys point guns at me. they wont be loaded and on safety. but is that good enough? like ya think thats safe? like should i do it

[worn wave]

Sounds like you're going to wake up missing some organs

[golden aspen]

LMAO

💀

[empty night]

Umm what

[golden aspen]

wanted to know if i should shoot a music video for these ppl. wanted to but idk if that was smart

[golden aspen]

]^

[empty night]

What you said doesn’t sound smart but you do what you like.

[golden aspen]

yeahhhh not smart

[weak cedar]

Ok framework page hiring and people who work there is kinds neat

[empty night]

If you do it where do you post music?

[wary fjord]

[misty sparrow]

damn

i forgot taxes

[chrome portal]

I live in America

[misty sparrow]

don't other countries include taxes in sales price or am i just stupid

[wary fjord]

deym steam says ur broke xD let steam know

drop a grand

[misty sparrow]

is it worth it for democracy

if you know what i mean

[golden aspen]

im doing it for someone

[wary fjord]

deym this dog is buff

look at that shoulder

its like cyst party

[empty night]

Can I see it when it’s done?

[golden aspen]

or "was" mb. i decided not to cuz not safe

[empty night]

Oh ok good choice

[tranquil pebble]

I just realized... ROG Ally might do better in GMod FPS wise than my desktop does just because potentially faster single thread

[swift sable]

Overclock your desktop 😤

[tranquil pebble]

if you know what game this is, good. If not, you're missing out.

[dusk knot]

Kill it!!!

[craggy shoal]

Slurp it

[misty sparrow]

hot dogs horseshoes and hand grenades?

[tranquil pebble]

yep

[misty sparrow]

oh wow i'm surprised i got that right

i dont play it

[tranquil pebble]

one funny way to kill it is to grab it and break one of the joints

or... rip its head off

[misty sparrow]

or you could play the TF2-like mode in the game

hit them with a fish

[tranquil pebble]

you can shotgun jump with one of the shotguns in the game

its like rocket jumping on steroids

[misty sparrow]

amazing

i'll stick with Quake 2 for now though (those old ID soft games have amazing scores)

can't play VR games on this rig

what do i do about files that don't exist yet my computer shows them as taking up storage?

i also apparently dont have admin access to my own computer

[wary fjord]

did u install it urself

[sour falcon]

mhm

whole pc was set up by me

[icy ore]

[wary fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/doggo-boop-gif-22290017

[icy ore]

I would’ve if he’d have come to me

Right before that I saved a massive snapping turtle

[wary fjord]

u need 20-70ms reaction time to be comfortable with snake anyway

• ur a gamer that reaction time is easy

[icy ore]

lol if they’re nonvenomous I don’t mind to get a lil bite

[tranquil pebble]

There are some "venomous" snakes that have non-dangerous (to humans) bites too. Garter snakes being the main ones.

They're also generally too weak to break your skin anyways.

[sour falcon]

wtf is epic gamestore on

the app shows nothing installed yet a bunch of apps are installed

[misty sparrow]

see, your first mistake was installing EGS

[tranquil pebble]

Epic Games Game Store = EGGS

[craggy shoal]

I like eggs

[misty sparrow]

This one refuses to crack

[craggy shoal]

cracking games? Careful what you talk about in this server before a mod gets angry lol

[misty sparrow]

don't plan on making a mod's head boil

[craggy shoal]

lol

[misty sparrow]

so anyway, Helldivers 2 on a 1060 6GB

pass or nah?

[craggy shoal]

nah

no way that's running lol

[misty sparrow]

technically, it should

[craggy shoal]

well maybe

[misty sparrow]

i need democracy

[craggy shoal]

I definitely wouldn't do it with a 3GB 1060 though

[misty sparrow]

i need to fight for it

definitely not

it's why i'm asking for 6GB version, because I own one

maybe it'll run well on Low 1080p

but it's a very demanding game

[craggy shoal]

man people are still on a 1060

an 8-year-old GPU

[misty sparrow]

yes

one of the best budget cards, a legendary card in fact

not now, but it's just legendary

i'll wait another year for new components though

[craggy shoal]

The 1080 Ti is legendary

[misty sparrow]

whole 1000 series could be classified as legendary

except a select few

good price, performance

[craggy shoal]

"Those guys are even that cool of a friend group"

The friend group:

man imagine buying a top-tier GPU for $700 😮‍💨

[misty sparrow]

if there was a 1090 you think it'd be priced at $900?

[craggy shoal]

probably

knowing Nvidia

[misty sparrow]

that's still a good price for a 90 card

$900 for a 90

[craggy shoal]

The regular 1080 was $600

bruh that regular 1070 was $379 😭

Imagine getting a X070 GPU for under $400 💀

[misty sparrow]

wow

how the mighty have fallen

now do you see why i'm not upgrading right now?

[craggy shoal]

lmao yeah

[misty sparrow]

if 5000 series comes out, the price of 4000 series will drop

[unreal trail]

https://i.imgflip.com/8pqhet.jpg

[craggy shoal]

I actually dislike BitLocker from a cybersecurity standpoint lol

You can still access the drive via Linux with the right software

no point

[misty sparrow]

wait really?

well that is a severe design flaw

[craggy shoal]

Just install NTFS drivers, plug in the drive via a USB adapter. You have access to the user's files from that drive

[craggy shoal]

yes

[worn wave]

Remember inflation tho

[craggy shoal]

there's no point to BitLocker 💀

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bYjHbQ1YjU

[worn wave]

Yeah prices have gotten worse I agree, but it's just not as drastic as it seems without inflation accounted

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I bought basically 2/3's of a PC with my previous minimum wage job (this cost was about $900 and my mother got me the GPU for my birthday)

(actually I was paid $8.25 an hour but whatever lol)

[misty sparrow]

it really isn't that bad nevermind

I can get a 4070 for $550 and it's about the same as the inflation price

[worn wave]

I mean 1080ti was a great card, aged well

[craggy shoal]

It's still not too bad from what I've heard lol

[worn wave]

Mhm

Also what's really been hurting is lower end imo

Gtx 1050ti was like, $150?

[craggy shoal]

$139

[worn wave]

Ok

So $180 today

[velvet summit]

No it isn't
This is also why physical security is important
And why bitlocker exists (and the alternatives)

But all encryption can be broken

Of course, it takes a while longer than just copying the files

But once a malicious actor has access to the data, they'll eventually decrypt it

[craggy shoal]

Yeah but BitLocker's is simple

Plus there's nothing saving your data from clearing the SSD's data within the BIOS

BitLocker is only software-based lol

[velvet summit]

"Windows 10 is the last os ever" was ai generated

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/mattia-binotto-scuderia-ferrari-he-is-not-a-clown-gif-25167873

[misty sparrow]

I bet I'll see this when Win12 comes out

"I hate that Windows has AI now, it sucks"

"You know you can remove it, right?"

same thing with ads too

i'm not mad that i CAN remove it, i'm mad that it's there

[sinful blade]

^

[wary fjord]

ai is a buzz word

they just throwing it. everywhere now

they even promoting aps that use it

to college students

"why study?"

yeah

[craggy shoal]

I just don't like BitLocker 💀

[wary fjord]

u can disable it

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I never enabled it

It's stupid lol

If something happens, all my data is practically gone until I go to my MS account through a web browser to obtain the recovery key

Just a waste of time imo

[wary fjord]

same also its slows down ur drive.. and might having trouble updating bios because of it

because u have to reset ur bitlocker when u update biios

[craggy shoal]

It's funny too that a lot of people go ahead and enable it after reading that it "improves security" when in reality it's just another security buffer

[craggy shoal]

never found this to be true but I don't doubt it

[wary fjord]

security is an illusion

its cope mech

[craggy shoal]

what

lol

we need security

[wary fjord]

anything made up by human

can break by human

xD

[craggy shoal]

BitLocker just isn't how you do it 💀

[wary fjord]

unless u want to hide something

bitlocker is a thing xD but again u can bypass bitlocker

by sniffing the mobo it self

before it boots

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1TeZktDEPf0

43 seconds xD

[mortal grail]

Why he sniffing

[misty sparrow]

alright i got helldivers 2

[mortal grail]

Pervert

[misty sparrow]

hope it can run well at low 1080p on my rig

[wary fjord]

it will

[misty sparrow]

you sure?

uses a 1060 6GB

[mortal grail]

Just keep reducing resolution until you can

480p is just a number

144p what is that? I only see game

I've gone full hippie on pc gaming

Two cores? That'll do it at 8k

[wary fjord]

144p has advantage.. xD if a pixel move it means theres enemy there

[misty sparrow]

just without the LSD right?

without the LSD, right Felix?

[sour falcon]

@sinful blade WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY CAPE

[misty sparrow]

[mortal grail]

Ubisoft tried to take my game away

[sour falcon]

it curls up into the air now

[mortal grail]

And left of shaxx, there’s a glowing chest

Full of full max light gear

[sour falcon]

oh wait i think so

im 1810 now

[sinful blade]

Yes

[sour falcon]

then yes lol

[sinful blade]

Now go farm onslaught

After you do all those campaigns

Shadowkeep, then Beyond light, then Witch queen,

[misty sparrow]

good thing destiny 2 has free campaigns right now

you gotta play them they're much better than playing D2 free stuff

[sinful blade]

Ye

[empty night]

How much would a pink pc be?

[sinful blade]

Wym pink

A case? Or everything

[mortal grail]

Pink parts are rare af to get

Only yeston and fractal do good pink afaik

[sinful blade]

Better to pinkify them yourself

[empty night]

Everything

Look at it :o

[mortal grail]

Some cable brands do pink

Good luck finding a good pink motherboard

[empty night]

Oh yea :c

[mortal grail]

Ram you might get a rare limited run

Aio basically never happens

Let alone any cooler really

No pink psus that I know of which means the ones that may exist are fire hazards

[sinful blade]

Best to probably just white everything+pink fans

[dusk knot]

the last time i played d2 was in 2020 lol

[sinful blade]

Bruh

[mortal grail]

That's what most do

[mortal grail]

Yo me too

I quit after the game got too boring for me

[dusk knot]

It was getting expensive

And taxing

Time wise

[empty night]

Oki I’ll look around

[sinful blade]

Come back

[mortal grail]

They sunset everything and I was squared off from my good rolls

So I didn't want to keep going

[dusk knot]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

Let me use my pre sunset armour and I would

[sinful blade]

Guess what

Done

[mortal grail]

If you say aesthetically then it's not the same

[sinful blade]

You can even get a good set of updated armour right now

[sinful blade]

I am not

[dusk knot]

Maybe I'll return next month..

[mortal grail]

I want my rolls

[dusk knot]

For the traveler

And the witness

[sinful blade]

They are unsunsetting everything in FS

[mortal grail]

Pfffft

[sinful blade]

they made an entire twab about it

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[sinful blade]

Bungie is literally pulling out all the stops

[empty night]

Aesthetics are the best and the most important part for me

[sinful blade]

I kid you not

[mortal grail]

To no one's surprise, the game balancing everyone wanted drove the game down a decline, and now they're reversing it

And now

I'm interested

[sinful blade]

The game is actually great now

[mortal grail]

It was fine before

[dusk knot]

Same

And the lore

[sinful blade]

6th “subclass” is coming out in FS

[mortal grail]

I understood the reasoning for balancing but I also had no care for it as I rarely do pvp nowadays

[sinful blade]

new weapons, pvp focus, pve focus, and massive exotic buffs

You remember truth?

[mortal grail]

I remember Halo's truth

Lol

I don't remember much of D2 now

[sinful blade]

This one

[misty sparrow]

i've played more Halo than D2

lol

[dusk knot]

The truth is the poor mans gallahorn

[mortal grail]

Don't think so

[sinful blade]

It’s been useless since a little bit after forsaken when it came out

5 years ago

It’s getting a buff in FS

[dusk knot]

Time flies

[mortal grail]

I remember that one exotic mission with the whisper sniper and the jump course I memorised to death

[sinful blade]

It’s back

Right now

[mortal grail]

Meh, I didn't like the weapon

[sinful blade]

The mission

Is

[mortal grail]

I grinded the hell out of it and I was disappointed

[dusk knot]

I did. It was great for raids

[mortal grail]

Beloved >>>>>

[empty night]

I’m sooo happy to make my pc soon!!

[sinful blade]

Next week is Outbreak Perfected and its mission.

[mortal grail]

Beloved OP

[sinful blade]

Craftable

[dusk knot]

@sinful blade so.....it's back in all it's DPS glory right????

[sinful blade]

To your exact desires

[sinful blade]

Whisper?

[misty sparrow]

by the way @sinful blade i'm not a D2 nut, but is Lightfall good?

[sinful blade]

Yes

[dusk knot]

First PC?

[dusk knot]

Yes

[misty sparrow]

thanks, got that one for free too

[sinful blade]

Lightfall is… lightfall. Not a great dlc because Sony kinda destroyed lightfalls timeline.

It should’ve been more of the final shape stuff, but they wanted it pushed back
So they kinda pushed lightfall out too soon

So lightfall fell HARD

[empty night]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Specs?

[empty night]

I’m buying a 7900 gre and a Ryzen 7900x3d

[dusk knot]

Oh damn. Great specs. What are your uses?

[misty sparrow]

oh..is that why I got it for free then?

[sinful blade]

Probably

[mortal grail]

What is the pc for

[misty sparrow]

seems funny how a lot of died off games end up on PS Plus

[sinful blade]

PS plus has a deal with bungie since Sony has them by the balls

So

[empty night]

I’m going to be playing a lot of games like lspdfr and other games like that and video editing. Vr gaming, 3d modeling and coding. @mortal grail

[misty sparrow]

its funny how they left MS because they didn't want to be restricted by them and now they're a part of Sony

too bad, we won't get a singleplayer game from them anytime soon

[mortal grail]

The dual 6 core ccd will play a lot worse than 8 core arrangements, 7800x3d will be better for you

Buying a 7900x3d is accepting a loss in gaming perf compared to the other two 3d counterparts

[empty night]

But I’ve heard that the 7900x3d is better for multi something stuff

[mortal grail]

Most content creators use 7800x3d these days anyway, editing programs like davinci and premiere don't need as heavy of a cpu anymore

[mortal grail]

Multicore yes, but you introduce scheduling conflicts and micromanagement

I don't recommend anyone on even their 2nd or 3rd pc to use a dual ccd x3d

[empty night]

What do you mean?

[mortal grail]

Windows uses something called a scheduler

It's basically, artistically speaking

[sinful blade]

Marathon?

[mortal grail]

A finger that points and says "use this"

[sinful blade]
