fresh nova

Woodford Reserve

storm narwhal
#

You can't uninstall it iirc but turning off file backup in it and stopping it from launching at startup is the same as uninstalling

iron lynx
#

it saids one dive not sync

fresh nova
#

Woodford is okay but I'd take Knob Creek over Woodford

dawn tiger
#

Blanton's if you're feeling rich

#

it's soooooo good

fresh nova
#

Have you even had WT 101>

dawn tiger
#

storm narwhal
dawn tiger

fresh nova
dawn tiger
#

fresh nova
#

I must be looking older, I'm only 23 tho

dawn tiger
#

or some places just don't care

fresh nova
#

I act older

dawn tiger
#

confidence will do that

fresh nova
#

It was a good trip

#

Didn't get asked for my ID 3 times, got a womans number, got work done. It went great.

dawn tiger
#

after Blantons and Angels Envy and Knobel it's hard to go back to regular bourbons

chrome mirage
iron lynx
#

i have only tried a hand full of whisky

fresh nova
#

I'd say start with the nose, once you get that then move to pallet

dawn tiger
#

i also drink it straight and don't mix it, that might change things also

#

just some whiskey rocks

fresh nova
dawn tiger
#

yeah they know you're not a noob then lol

chrome mirage
dawn tiger
#

it's amazing what happens when you can concentrate on that

#

the coffees, vanillas, wood barrel all come out

#

worst for me was when i had the C

#

everything tasted like water for 3 weeks

#

even alcohol

chrome mirage
#

I ended up drinking way too much that night and threw up in the parking lot right before a 10 hour car ride

dawn tiger
#

bruh that's rough

fresh nova
#

Like saying
"I want some jack Daniels or if y'all have anything stronger gimmie that"
VS Saying
"I'd like a double Jack Daniels, served neat in a old fashioned glass if you have it"

You get two totally different results from the server.

dawn tiger
#

had a decent old fashioned at a japanese steakhouse last night

#

hibachi place

#

they actually used woodford too

chrome mirage
#

I don't go to bars or restaurants so I just enjoy my whiskey at home while listening to music.

dawn tiger
#

#

#

iron lynx
#

chrome mirage
#

Drinks at the fire with friends is a good time

dawn tiger
iron lynx
#

dawn tiger
fresh nova

I'm not allowed to encourage mixing caffeine & alcohol.
||Do it it tastes good, but at your own discretion.||

chrome mirage

#

velvet summit
#

4080ti?

#

rancid juniper
#

^^^

tranquil pebble
#

4080 is bad value for gaming but good value for tensor core stuff

#

from what I gather

#

Also going to try to learn how to install Gentoo manually

sweet phoenix
#

It's honestly not too bad

dawn tiger
#

wow thermaltake has come a long way with fans

sweet phoenix
#

$960 atm vs $910 xtx

dawn tiger
#

clip together reversible rgb fans for $60/3

tranquil pebble
sweet phoenix
#

Look at 4080 super

rancid juniper
tranquil pebble
#

velvet summit
#

💀

velvet summit
#

lol it's fine, but unfortunately it's not green lol

dawn tiger
#

mt dew green got it lol

brittle trail
#

Never have been able to describe the color well, so I always went with battery acid green

velvet summit
#

ngl not many fluids that we have in use that are naturally green

brittle trail
velvet summit
#

coolant is sometimes dyed green

rancid juniper
#

the forbidden battery acid

brittle trail
#

Definitely lighter than coolant

dawn tiger
#

fluoro green?

brittle trail
#

Its some weird green

#

Lemme see if I can post it in another channel

dawn tiger
brittle trail
#

Nevermind I cannot

velvet summit

brittle trail
#

brittle trail
#

Too late

last mango
#

Hey lookie another mutual server member

brittle trail
#

Eh, mines been doing ok for a month now

last mango
#

Looks like you're fitting here

dawn tiger
#

don't do any kind of sensitive stuff on it

last mango
#

considering nobody else engages in your old tech talk in another side

brittle trail
#

Granted,i've been using a secure browser

dawn tiger
#

i'm not kidding

brittle trail
#

Oh, no no I dont do anything sensitive on it lol

rancid juniper
#

so, discord does work on XP?

last mango
#

LOL the server went ham on him saying its not safe

dawn tiger
#

well they're not wrong

#

even with a secure browser

brittle trail
rancid juniper
#

well obv u can use discord on browser

dawn tiger
#

keyloggers..............

rancid juniper
brittle trail
#

Well wait, the app?

rancid juniper
#

ye

brittle trail
#

Nah i'll have to test that

rancid juniper
#

don't

#

you're fine

dawn tiger
#

honestly

#

i'd be running win 10 or something unactivated

brittle trail
#

Well, thing is

rancid juniper
#

do you have any plans on building a future pc?

dawn tiger
#

but anyway whats the question?

brittle trail
#

This laptop is so old, that it cant lol

dawn tiger
#

ahhh

brittle trail
rancid juniper
#

the pc dream

brittle trail
#

But thats when I earn more money doing lawncare

dawn tiger
#

i'll bet if you sold all that stuff you could get a decent newer laptop

rancid juniper
#

good luck then

brittle trail
#

I got alot of it for free

dawn tiger
#

oh

brittle trail
#

Built some stuff outta spare parts

dawn tiger
#

i mean, i get the morals

brittle trail
#

I would use the M4800, but

#

Its got a bad battery

#

So its just kinda a desktop for now

dawn tiger
#

you should check some of what he finds

brittle trail
#

The 11e used to be my daily,but the keyboard went pfft

dawn tiger
#

conhoz.exe etc

brittle trail
#

Well, tbf I dont do anything too crazy with it

#

If anything,I mostly use it for classwork

dawn tiger
#

it's not you doing anything crazy they'll use it as part of a botnet

brittle trail
#

Have kinda considered transferring all my data to a Vista install

#

Apparently, Vista is still pretty secure,for some weird reason

tranquil pebble
brittle trail
#

Not sure why

dawn tiger
#

it's secure because everyone hated it and no one is still using it

brittle trail
#

Ah, yeah that may explain it lol

dawn tiger
#

everyone and their mother had XP

brittle trail
#

Might be a good idea to switch to Vista sometime then

dawn tiger
#

i would recommend

spark halo
brittle trail
#

Honestly, I dont get the Vista hate

#

Sure,the hardware wasnt capable at the time

dawn tiger
#

it was new and clunky and the biggest issue with Vista wasn't Vista

#

it was 3rd party drivers

#

they caused the majority of issues

brittle trail
#

Yeah I mean, honestly Vista was pretty neat, all things considered

dawn tiger
#

for its time

tranquil pebble
brittle trail
#

Also, it had aero,which is pretty cool

#

Love Aero

dawn tiger
#

i forgot about aero

brittle trail
#

My laptop is literally designed around the look of Aero lol

tranquil pebble
#

Aero was the best UI MS ever made, and then they threw it away...

brittle trail
#

Its a Inspiron 1520

brittle trail
#

Now its just bland, simple shapes

#

So bland, that when I had my 11e, I got rid of the w11 ui lol

#

Using Openshell, Winaero tweaker and Retrobar, I decided to have a little fun and basically make my copy of W11 into a Longhorn 4074 clone lol

dawn tiger
#

are those all laptops or do you have a desktop?

brittle trail
#

The Gateway 366c and E-3000 are my desktops

#

I also have some incomplete projects in other places lol

#

Like a Apple IIe i'm rebuilding

last mango
dawn tiger
#

internet exploder

brittle trail
#

Thats about how it is, yeah-

dawn tiger
#

strikes again

brittle trail
#

Never understood the Edge rebrand

velvet summit
#

it's because they switched to chromium

dawn tiger
#

they moved to the chromium engine

brittle trail
#

The name "Internet Explorer" had more character to it though

velvet summit
#

internet explorer used to run on microsoft's code or whatever

#

which is why it was so garbage

brittle trail
#

Honestly, i'm surprised it still works

sweet phoenix
#

I greatly dislike edge

brittle trail
#

Like, seriously

last mango
#

Bring back Netscape Navigator pls

brittle trail
#

Internet Explorer still works

sweet phoenix
brittle trail
#

Just,it connects through Bing now

velvet summit
#

it works but performs like crap

brittle trail
#

Its weird

last mango
#

Oh I see you Eclipse.

brittle trail
#

Whatcha mean

last mango
#

I am in your laptop now.

brittle trail
#

Aha, jokes on you

#

I have no web camera

last mango
#

You forgot about mic

brittle trail
#

(The switch to IPS actually deleted my web cam lol)

last mango
brittle trail
#

Anywho, im gonna save all my .rtf docs to google docs

nocturne flicker
brittle trail
#

So I can switch to Vista

sweet phoenix
#

I just use chrome

#

I'm basic

brittle trail
#

I prefer Firefox

#

Saves memory

last mango
#

Basic chroom

velvet summit
#

i use chrome but i dont use google

sweet phoenix
#

I don't need to worry about ram atm, i don't do anything ram intensive really

brittle trail
#

And when ya got cheap laptops like I do,well

sweet phoenix
#

I'd likely be fine with 16gb with what I do atp

brittle trail
#

You want all the ram you can get

sweet phoenix
#

I upgraded to 32gb when I was streaming but that didn't last long

sinful blade
#

I use Firefox and DuckDuckGo

sweet phoenix
#

I was on a 4030u laptop with 4gb for a long time

#

Then a gt 1030 3470 desktop with 8gb

brittle trail
#

Im on a 2gb Inspiron lmfao

nocturne flicker
#

I left for Firefox when Google made that change to stuff in an attempt to stop adblockers

sweet phoenix
#

And I've never cared enough to use an adblocker

brittle trail
#

Actually, if I remember correctly

#

Firefox does the switching for you

#

Or no wait was that Opera

sweet phoenix
#

I also greatly dislike opera

#

On said 4030u laptop, before I had it my grandma installed like 40 downloads of opera

brittle trail
#

Why-

#

Also, all my stuff is backed up now, so

#

Vista upgrade time

brittle trail
#

And if that fails,back to XP

#

WAIT IM GREEN NOW

#

I CAN SHOW Y'ALL THE COLOR OF MY LAPTOP

#

This was before I cleaned it,but this

#

This shade of green

dawn tiger
#

that's the green of old plastic

#

hydrogen peroxide and uv light will make it new again

brittle trail
#

Thats actually the green it came in

#

Literally

dawn tiger
#

wat

#

LOL

brittle trail
#

It is a such a odd shade-

#

Like,that was when it was new

dawn tiger
#

oh yeah that's like

#

alien green or something

brittle trail
#

Ye I dunno what it is

#

Called it Smartcar green for a time

#

Cause I mean, the name wasnt far off

#

The Inspirons had fun colors though lol

#

Mine used to be blue, before the IPS swap

#

Had to look it up, apparently my laptop is called "Spring green"

#

The old color I had was "Midnight blue"

#

Vista time

pseudo raven
#

well my family anyway

#

nvm it was a vostro

#

that color man

elfin mural
#

snazzy

last mango
#

Ngl I like that color

nocturne flicker
#

We had a Dell Inspiron from when they did the Lollipop commercial

#

Core 2 duo go brrrr

brittle trail
#

I know I used a Vostro driver to fix my Inspirons speakers lol

#

Man. Why cant laptops come in fun colors anymore

#

Only ones that still do that I know off the top of my head are HP Streams

#

Pretty sure you can still buy one in pink lol

dawn tiger
#

speaking of spendy fans

brittle trail
#

Does it go "whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir"

dawn tiger
#

idk don't own any lol

brittle trail
#

My fans go whiiiir

dawn tiger
#

but for the build i'm considering they'd look good

brittle trail
#

My thing sometimes even makes fun clicky noises

idle nexus
#

something has to be wrong here

brittle trail
#

Nah actually

idle nexus
#

lol I mean sorry with me

#

well my GPU

brittle trail
#

Oh my bad lol

idle nexus
#

I finally got around to changing the thermal pads to thermal putty

#

so far I've only run VRMark Orange room

#

but Memory junction hit a max 42C so far

#

I was climbing as high as 110C before

#

gonna go Spy on some Time & see how that goes tho before I declare victory

brittle trail
#

I can probably fry a egg on my Inspiron after running it for awhile lol

#

Also, man

#

Decisions

#

Think I should do a dad move and use the chess pic

dawn tiger
#

dog, always dog

idle nexus
#

well it appears it might be a little on the older side

rancid juniper
idle nexus
#

cuz of how it looks & it appears you're using win7 lol

brittle trail
#

Nope,older

idle nexus
#

so might be time to repaste CPU

#

XP?

brittle trail
#

Vista

idle nexus
#

oh nooo

rancid juniper
#

windows vista?

#

mmm interesting

idle nexus
#

run 7 or xp but not vista lmao

brittle trail
#

I decided it upgrade from XP to Vista

#

Since I connect to wifi alot

#

Apparently Vistas pretty secure still, so thats neat

rancid juniper
#

windows vista technically was my first OS experience

idle nexus
idle nexus
idle nexus
#

had the infamous Millennium Edition

brittle trail
#

I decided to go with the dog

rancid juniper
#

damn

misty sparrow
#

flower pic is for real OGs

rancid juniper
#

fr

brittle trail
#

Yeah but I prefer the flower pic for 7,tbh

idle nexus
#

I usually went with the chess piece ngl

#

you know there's a relatively updated vista?

#

I had it in a VM

rancid juniper
#

???

misty sparrow
#

i wonder if opening solitaire on OG vista actually blue screens the PC

#

like in this one video i watched

idle nexus
#

it's called uh...Vienna maybe? hold on

brittle trail
#

Gotta get that classic Vista background, 110%

misty sparrow
#

what is it, a forest

brittle trail
#

A forest,ye

idle nexus
rancid juniper
#

HOLY SMOKES THATS MY FIRST FAMILY PC

misty sparrow
#

my first PC had Windows XP, but not OG windows XP

brittle trail
#

My first PC was a Dell Dimension

#

Ofc, I was younger though

misty sparrow
#

the login screen on my winXP was different from the OG login screen

idle nexus
#

I had the OG Compaq with the JBL speakers on the CRT & the speaker grilles matched the front of the PC

brittle trail
#

It died due to overheating

misty sparrow
#

it's still in my garage somewhere

brittle trail
#

Rip free Dell Dimension, you existed

#

Then died

misty sparrow
#

has a floppy disc drive lmao

#

i cant believe pcs back then in the 2000s still had floppy disc drives

idle nexus
#

mine would do this thing where it would just randomly freeze, make a beep noise (old enough for POST speaker thing built in still lol), & wouldn't work for like 4 hours

#

mine had floppy & it was so baller it had CD-ROM & CD-RW

brittle trail
#

Im 17 now, so I wanna say I had my Dimension when I was 10 or 8

storm narwhal
#

Dell dimmadome

misty sparrow
rancid juniper
#

it lasted a good while

misty sparrow
#

i really wanna know what version of WinXP it uses though

storm narwhal
misty sparrow
#

it's different from normal windows XP

brittle trail
#

My monitor, for awhile, was a generic Acer

brittle trail
rancid juniper
brittle trail
#

SP3

storm narwhal
#

But they're so large

How bad

idle nexus
#

Costco baller system lol

brittle trail
#

Wait,wrong person

rancid juniper
rancid juniper
brittle trail
#

Gonna use it to build my pc,when I get money lol

idle nexus
#

if I still had it, I'd bench it then build a modern system in it lol

rancid juniper
#

bro is gonna make a sleeper

brittle trail
#

I still have my first laptop

#

A Dell D600

#

Remember when laptops came without Wifi cards

idle nexus
#

my friends used to come over & give that poor PC diseases downloading trash on KaZaA

rancid juniper
#

my first laptop was one of these, a CQ60 model

#

just forgot which one

brittle trail
#

We're ballin boys

rancid juniper
#

ah yes this one

#

LOOK AT THE FAST GRAFIX

#

8200M G

brittle trail
idle nexus
#

okay running Steel Nomad rn

brittle trail
#

Heck yeah, seems all the drivers work flawlessly

idle nexus
#

if memory stays cool thru this, I'm declaring victory lol

#

I hate how long Steel Nomad takes to launch wth

brittle trail
#

Ok, and now its Browser time

idle nexus
#

lol be careful that OS is so outdated that putting it on the internet might be risky

brittle trail
#

Actually, its still pretty secure apparently

idle nexus
#

I wonder when it stopped receiving updates

brittle trail
#

Probably 2014

idle nexus
#

Win8.1 Embedded Industry Pro is pretty fire

brittle trail
#

Same time as XP i'd assume

idle nexus
#

lol if you look up Integral Windows XP

#

they still update that crap

brittle trail
#

Integral Windows XP?

#

Tell me more

idle nexus
#

last update was like 12 days ago lmao

#

oops wrong thing hold on

brittle trail
#

Was about to say-

idle nexus
brittle trail
#

Huh, and its still safe to use?

idle nexus
#

based on the changelogs, I think they mostly patch windows 8.1 updates into it somehow

#

lol tbh I dunno how safe it would be to use

brittle trail
#

Yknow the Weird Al song "Dare to be Stupid"

idle nexus
#

lol dunno that one

brittle trail
#

Fun listen,but anywho

idle nexus
#

his Episode 1/American Pie song is good

brittle trail
#

I'm daring to be stupid rn lol

idle nexus
#

grab like a $30 SATA SSD for that system & it'll run so much faster

#

if you're on an HDD atm I mean

brittle trail
#

Probably so

#

I am

#

Man, rip Vista lol

idle nexus
#

ya my dad's old computer ran on an HDD & it was so slow

brittle trail
#

Only lasted like, a few minutes-

idle nexus
#

I got like a $30 PNY CS900 for it & it was like night & day fr

brittle trail
#

And now i'm instantly going back to XP,cause why not

#

Aaaand nevermind

#

Bad news

idle nexus
#

lol I wonder if you put a USB drive in it if it would offer to use it for ReadyBoost

#

RAM used to be so slow that using a flash drive helped

brittle trail
#

Rufus cant burn it onto my USB-

I use Ventoy

#

so I can have a bunch of ISOs at once

#

instead of like dedicating the entire usb drive to one ISO

brittle trail
#

Well,lemme see if that'll fix it

idle nexus
#

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

I remember using windows 8.1 on my athlon ii X4 630 rig

I thought the OS was quicker

but there was a way to convert it to a win8 version of the previous start menu

8.1 was better but he did say an old netbook which I'm imagining is one of those small notebook laptops with like, no power.

I had one and trying to upgrade windows on it was a mistake lol

I got a win10 device that was basically a tablet with like, 100gb memory (barely enough for the OS) and had an dettachable keyboard

What's a good fridge brand

avoid samsung and lg fridges

#

i have a kenmore fridge, but that doesnt exist anymore since sears went defunt

#

but it was made by whirlpool afaik

#

main problem with samsung and lg fridges is that getting them services is hella expensive

#

they do also have some reliability concerns

#

also the less features and more dumbed down the fridge is, the more reliable (and cheaper to repair) it is

#

which is why commercial grade freezers and fridges are so good

#

they're easy to repair relatively speaking

I find it weird why it can do so much better, but also end up matching its previous gen so often. For me i pay more attention to how far ahead it can go as that can show you how well it will serve you doing forwards. Sure previous gen can barely edge it out in some very few cases, but going forwards current gen will def be catered towards and should outpace it in the future

lol my first desktop shipped with vista and it was a dual core cpu and 2gb ram That's all I remember about the specs really tho. My mom's pc shipped with it too and it looked fancier but the specs were lower and it did have some issues but it was usable. I never had any issues with it what-so-ever and I just had a much more enjoyable experience than the XP family PC that sat in the livingroom. It was like going from something super old school to something that looked like a spaceship to 14 year old me, and being young I easily adapted to it

there's always been bad actors on ebay and that will never go away. Ebay is super buyer friendly though. Just look at the reviews for the seller you're buying from

fervent stump
sinful blade
#

But eBay as a whole shouldn’t be discounted for its past

velvet summit
#

The platform is only as trustworthy as the sellers are

light egret
#

But again, amazon is also very buyer friendly. It's really easy to get your money back if you buy on their platform

#

so I would argue they are both good options, maybe not quite 100%, but up there

velvet summit
#

True, Amazon does provide a bit more protection

#

Definitely better than some other options lmao

tranquil pebble
light egret
#

So does ebay. If you can't resolve an issue with the seller, and you escalate to ebay, they will almost always get your money back and punish the seller as long as you attempted to talk to the seller in good faith. The problem is, this can bite sellers in the ass a lot

#

Ebay is great for buyers, not always great for sellers IMO

tranquil pebble
#

probably why ebay sellers leave positive feedback on my profile when I buy from them because that is the process I do. I never had to go beyond the seller though because I tend to buy from sellers with a rep to maintain

light egret
#

yeah I've only returned like 2 items in my lifetime to ebay, and ended up getting full refund and keeping the product both times

#

never had to escalate beyond seller

#

eBay HATES sellers that scam. They will yeet them the second they start scamming
