[lone mango]

Do you need an account for that or nah

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[lone mango]

I switched to radmin because you dont need an account

[craggy shoal]

Otherwise super nice though

Yo imma check them out

[velvet summit]

i wonder why blizzard donated though lmao

[craggy shoal]

About to have to convince my whole friend group to switch though. I already have them setup with Tailscale lol

[elfin mural]

pi cod servers

[craggy shoal]

I hate one-finger typing holy crAp

[proud jackal]

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

You made it so much worse by saying this specifically

tbf it probably isnt that unexpected? the raspberry pi foundation is a registered charity after all

[mortal grail]

[elfin mural]

[tacit geode]

nerds

[lone mango]

I am two months late but discord can play hevc videos now

[craggy shoal]

No big deal if the big responsible mods say it. But if I say it

[mortal grail]

Ya cos it's funnier

What are we talking about btw

[elfin mural]

fair

[velvet summit]

so anyways i started blasting

[craggy shoal]

Foxy does finger stuff with his keyboards

[mortal grail]

Me fr rn

[mortal grail]

Fingers and blasting huh

Newegg is pretty interesting today

[lone mango]

Kind of ironic after all of these years they do hevc but not av1. They took so long to add hevc that av1 is what I think people want more idk

[elfin mural]

Sand blasting my keyboard rn

Gotta clean it

[lone mango]

My keyboard rgb is illuminating crumbs and a few beard hairs

[mortal grail]

I cleaned my keyboards a week ago

I was shocked

I'm uh- a very clean person

Sterile almost

[craggy shoal]

Wait you're supposed to clean them?

(Guys I’m joking)

[mortal grail]

Holy crap what was under the keys...

[lone mango]

I havent cleaned mine since i got it

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

How old is the board

[craggy shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/keyboard-deep-cleanse-cant-unsee-ugh-my-eyes-gif-14327122

[mortal grail]

By the time I finished cleaning they looked good as new

[craggy shoal]

At least a year. And yes I clean it lol

[mortal grail]

And I started believing I was part dog

[elfin mural]

it's a hamster

[mortal grail]

Be glad you do cos oof

I will not leave it that long again

[elfin mural]

i have a keeb

with ded switches

[lone mango]

Honestly I forgot about cleaning my keyboard

Thanks for reminding me guys

[velvet summit]

i clean my keyboard once.... every..... while

[elfin mural]

i need to replace the switches

[velvet summit]

i have cleaned it

just not recently

[craggy shoal]

I want more Boba U4T switches. Can't find them on Ali anymore and too expensive on Amazon

[mortal grail]

Trust me you'll feel so satisfactory after you've cleaned it

3 2 1

[lone mango]

I think I got my keyboard almost a year ago and have not cleaned it

[velvet summit]

i'll feel satisfactory when i get a new keeb

[mortal grail]

Rebuttal incoming

💀

[velvet summit]

why clean a keeb when you could just buy a new one frfr

[mortal grail]

I used to be that way once

[velvet summit]

this razor keeb is like 7 or 8 years old at this point 💀

[mortal grail]

Not because I actively preferred this but because I was continually stupid until I had a keyboard I liked

[craggy shoal]

Pay for the proper keyboard cleaning tools? Nah. Buy a new keyboard? Yeah that’s the smarter option

[mortal grail]

I have a keyboard cleaning kit yo

Glorious kit

That brush was so dirty

😭

☠️

[velvet summit]

💀

[craggy shoal]

I just dust mine lol

[mortal grail]

Ya it's just dust at first

[velvet summit]

honestly, my keyboard is realatively not too dirty because of how far away it is from my face and such

[mortal grail]

I learned my lesson

[velvet summit]

it's mainly dusty

[mortal grail]

I thought it'd still be dust

[velvet summit]

and some sweat/skin residue

last time i cleaned my keeb was like 3 years ago at this point lmfao

oh yeah back then, i also did a typing test with no keycaps on

i got like 60wpm

[craggy shoal]

ngl I’m that guy who just gets a new set of key caps because I’m tired of the sweat lol

[mortal grail]

How is it I'm somehow the more responsible one with twice the hardware

I cleaned my keycaps back to new

[craggy shoal]

Oh you have twice the hardware? 💀

[mortal grail]

I'm sure you've read at least a few of my messages over the years

[craggy shoal]

I haven't shared most of my projects lol

[mortal grail]

Rn I'm on like

5 gpus, 6 cases

[craggy shoal]

But I shared this one yesterday lol

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

Hold on

Lemme get comfortable

...

[craggy shoal]

Do you run any self-hosting servers?

[velvet summit]

it's an egg

[mortal grail]

Alright here we go

4 cpus

3 laptops

[mortal grail]

A plethora of corsair rgb garbage I can't sell

[velvet summit]

i thought you said cups for a moment 💀

[mortal grail]

9 headphones

[craggy shoal]

How do you store all of this?

[mortal grail]

Yeah I have 4 cups and 4 cpus

[velvet summit]

poor in cups

i honestly wonder how many cups there are in my house

there's probably at least 60 cups

[mortal grail]

I have like 2 or 3 cupboards worth of storage

[velvet summit]

we have several cupboards completely full of cups

[mortal grail]

Let's think

I am now down to 1 chair

5 microphones

1 mixer tho

I travel light on mixer amps

[craggy shoal]

I struggle to keep all of my tech in my room lol

[mortal grail]

Atm 5 consoles

[craggy shoal]

Probably going to move a server out to the office some time soon (if I can even find the room)

[mortal grail]

No wait forgot main room

[velvet summit]

5 💀

[mortal grail]

8

[craggy shoal]

8 WHAT 😭💀

[mortal grail]

Ya

[craggy shoal]

@mortal grail I’m sorry for challenging you

[mortal grail]

So why is it I have the audacity to clean my keycaps worth $15

[mortal grail]

Treasure ur stuff ☠️

[velvet summit]

well, i dont throw my keycaps out

they're still there

just a bit dirty

[mortal grail]

I still have my pudding caps somewhere

[velvet summit]

but if you type fast enough, it practically cleans the keycaps off frfr

[mortal grail]

Do you guys like pudding

You remember that

2 month trend

[craggy shoal]

I kinda wanna sell a lot of my keyboard stuff. I have a garbage Corsair keyboard and some goofy Razer Ornata

[velvet summit]

💀

[mortal grail]

I spent like $40 on pudding

[velvet summit]

isnt ornata that mecha membrane

[mortal grail]

Ironically one of Razer's best sounding

[velvet summit]

💀

[craggy shoal]

The one that everyone buys thinking it's a genuine mechanical. Yeah that one and I fell for it too 💀

[velvet summit]

to be fair

[mortal grail]

Mechamembrane is what they use in laptops innit

[craggy shoal]

"Yeah feels nice" I feel like an idiot

[velvet summit]

razor did say mecha membrane in the marketing

[pliant berry]

you idiot

[craggy shoal]

Nah that’s chiclet (basically membrane but more compact)

[craggy shoal]

Yes I know 💀

[pliant berry]

for legal reasons this is a joke, you are all very nice people

[mortal grail]

Damn

So it just sucks then

[craggy shoal]

Yep

[velvet summit]

typing on these chics

[mortal grail]

He's got all the chics

Chiclets

Wait

[craggy shoal]

Yo?

[pliant berry]

yeah from what i understand the ornata was just a thick membrane keeb

[mortal grail]

I'll come back to this joke

[mortal grail]

I need to cook

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-cook-chef-masterchef-lilb-gif-13910066

[velvet summit]

the logo 💀

[craggy shoal]

Mechamembrane: basically just membrane but it adds a click for that "mechanical feel" (it's worse than conventional membrane imo)

[mortal grail]

LOL

Dell lah feeling

[velvet summit]

idk how they're even saving money on mechamembrane

[misty sparrow]

So basically it's like having soft ice cream but adding crunchiness to it

[velvet summit]

are membrane uhh

sandwiches cheaper to make than those pcbs for regular mechanical switches

i would imagine the "mechanical" part of mecha membrane to cost around the same as an actual mechanical switch

especially since it's probably a lower volume production

[craggy shoal]

Nah it's more like calling it a "snowcone" when it's actually the crunchiest form of chopped up ice with some flavor

[misty sparrow]

yeah thats a better example

[craggy shoal]

"Snowcones" it's not at all what it seems lol

[mortal grail]

How is it you two can make a snowcone sound like ass

My childhood is ruined

[craggy shoal]

Lollll

[mortal grail]

I grew up on those

[misty sparrow]

snowcones are trash

[craggy shoal]

Felix never has experienced real snow. He doesn't know what it's like

[mortal grail]

"The crunchiest part of the cone" wth

I DID

ONCE(?)

[misty sparrow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/880983260228882492/1120600362072686632/Tumblr_l_1641328430655086.gif

[misty sparrow]

To be honest there's a lot of things people won't experience

[mortal grail]

Let's explore this notion

[velvet summit]

To be fair, snow cones probably used to just be people scooping up fallen snow

But that isn't very sanitary

And probably is polluted considering the modern environment

[mortal grail]

So would you say the mechamembrane is more like a crunchy redback @craggy shoal or maybe a more squishy black widow

[craggy shoal]

Bruh what's a redback

Sorry I’m not Australian I don't eat spiders

[misty sparrow]

It's a good thing that you used "back" instead of another portion of the body, specifically one around the head area

[mortal grail]

Little asses that hide under steps

Lethal bites

Found on literally every staircase on one half the country

[misty sparrow]

so it's a spider?

[mortal grail]

Ya

[misty sparrow]

good thing i'm not in australia

[mortal grail]

Crunchy little thing

Like mecha membrane

Or snowcones

I would love for someone new to join chat rn

[pliant berry]

I need a healthy reaction of "wtf is this"

[green yew]

Hi, I'm New III

[misty sparrow]

You would wish for this, but then it'll come back to bite you in the ass

someone new joins chat, but they're the most annoying person you've ever met

[tranquil pebble]

I wouldnt mind trying one lol

[pliant berry]

wow we all have the same name, we are practically twins

[mortal grail]

Yeah it's currently happening in the form of burial of impersonation

[velvet summit]

[mortal grail]

[pliant berry]

[green yew]

[velvet summit]

I would rather eat grounded up ice than "fresh snow" from the sky

[green yew]

They remove the emote 😔

[mortal grail]

[velvet summit]

Just remove the venom ong

[tranquil pebble]

what one?

[velvet summit]

Also there was an japanese-australian vtuber that ate a spider on stream lmao

[green yew]

Pog

[tranquil pebble]

Venom is NOT poison. It hurts to get in your bloodstream, but not to consume

[green yew]

:Pog:

[velvet summit]

It was a zebra spider though iirc

[north crescent]

Natural resources is more healthy for you smh my head

Wth

She ate it?

[velvet summit]

Yeah

This is a corporate vtuber even

[mortal grail]

Why are vtubers so insane

[velvet summit]

Largest vtuber agency currently

[velvet summit]

They couldn't function in modern society so they had to become vtuber's frfr

[pliant berry]

haachama is actually just insane

[velvet summit]

Also haachama is like one of the youngest vtuber's of that corp

She joined while still in hs

[mortal grail]

She would be honorary australian for doing that

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/haachama-haachama-cooking-haachama-insane-commercial-hololive-gif-19087763

[velvet summit]

She lived in Australia for a while

[tranquil pebble]

Well I should say that not all venoms are poison. I am sure some are.

[velvet summit]

I don't remember the reason but yeah

[mortal grail]

Some are literal acid that melt flesh so yeah...

[velvet summit]

Well

Is the acid a poison

[north crescent]

Is a square a rectangle?

[velvet summit]

Also new body disposal idea

Toss them to the spiders

[north crescent]

New dual body disposal idea
Toss the spiders to the body. You both disappear

[tranquil pebble]

[light egret]

because beer was taken

He left

Supposedly

My discord mobile shows him as still being here when I look in #846508336543301653

I couldn't imagine using a phone bigger than my s23

Even this is on the larger side for me

[random osprey]

huawei would like to talk to you

[sweet phoenix]

Maybe wider by a bit but I wouldn't like longer

[sweet phoenix]

If they'd like to talk to me about a sponsorship I'm all ears 👀

[fervent stump]

How long is it? Or how big is the screen size?

[fresh nova]

What exactly we talking bout here 👀

[fervent stump]

They are way to small I’m blind

[sweet phoenix]

Something around 6-6.5"? Not quite sure

[fresh nova]

[fervent stump]

Oh ok that’s not to bad I think that’s good I think mine is like 6.7 but I forgot

[random osprey]

[mystic osprey]

i got a s21 gonna be getting a 23 at some point

[sweet phoenix]

My s23 was a free upgrade for me

I had the choice between free s23 or $350 s23 plus

[sweet phoenix]

I would hate one of the foldable phones

First off I'd break it so fast

[tranquil pebble]

Just did a private lobby in EDF 4.1 with a ROG Ally. Worked very well.

[sweet phoenix]

I just found some scratches on my s23 that I didn't notice before

Minorly annoyed but they're not deep

[tranquil pebble]

and second they nearly require a loan to purchase

[sweet phoenix]

Lmao

[random osprey]

that huawei one above i believe is priced around $2300 usd?

around that

[tranquil pebble]

which is absurd... literally get a separate phone and tablet for cheaper at that point

[random osprey]

at what point do we stop with folds and just do holograms

[tranquil pebble]

Hatsune Miku phone

[fervent stump]

Where?

[tranquil pebble]

It existed but apparently was not good sadly

[fervent stump]

Me want 😢

[storm narwhal]

HAHAH YEAH THIS PHONE

The LG wing could never

They also unveiled a foldable bluetooth keyboard for it?

That just looks like a reshelled folding keyboard from, you guessed it, China

[sweet phoenix]

Bro this class

Once I get paid and get a case gonna try out this z flip 6 samsung sent me

[sweet phoenix]

The entire room smells like week old armpit sweat

[tranquil pebble]

time to get one of these

[rancid juniper]

best purchase

[random osprey]

optical drive still not included

[rancid juniper]

Bestest purchase

[tranquil pebble]

Even with optical drive included 699 would still be too much

[random osprey]

wdym? this is worth $700, just look at that glass on the ps5 pro, its not blurred

[random osprey]

i also love the fact that they had to showcase the ps5 in performance mode instead so itd have worse graphics

[tranquil pebble]

Sony knows it is an underwhelming system... that is why

the only thing it has going for it really is (maybe) better RT

absolutely not worth that price

[cursive oasis]

I just hope this means that they lower the price of the ps5

[tranquil pebble]

knowing Sony they wont

[random osprey]

they raised the prices of the ps5 in some countries didnt they, why would they lower it?

whats also insane is the fact theres people out there that paid more than the ps5 pro for their base ps5 because of bovid and scalpers

[unreal trail]

I got my PS5 straight from Sony

[nocturne flicker]

The point of showing performance mode is to show you can have better graphics while having the same performance of the lower graphics settings. They just don't show any footage because they knew they couldn't guarantee it'd be the same

[tranquil pebble]

Scalpers are a literal plague

[unreal trail]

scalpers about to try and sell disc drives for 200 a piece

[tranquil pebble]

There is no Sony exclusive I want to play bad enough to drop that much money lol

[random osprey]

the stand gonna be $100 a piece

[tranquil pebble]

Sony becoming the Apple of game consoles

[cursive oasis]

anyone remember when apple charged $1000 for a monitor stand

[unreal trail]

Pro is the same size as base PS5, just get a free fan stand off Amazon Vine

[nocturne flicker]

Buy a disk drive expansion, a stand, maintain a montly subscription, pay more for the console up front, wonder what they'll come up with next

Monthly subscription to turn on console

[tranquil pebble]

They still do

[velvet summit]

To be fair, the stand was meant for the business customers who can afford it

Also it's solid aluminum or smth

[tranquil pebble]

yeah no this is absurd

[unreal trail]

its a slab of metal, not worth 1k

[misty sparrow]

to be fair

[velvet summit]

True

[misty sparrow]

the internal storage was increased to 2TB

for the pro

[velvet summit]

Apple sells the vesa adapter though

[nocturne flicker]

Wow. Much amazing

[velvet summit]

You don't have to use their overpriced stand

[nocturne flicker]

Something you can do yourself manually

[tranquil pebble]

ok and how about this nonsense?

[unreal trail]

lol

[velvet summit]

[random osprey]

when did the price of the wheels go up 💀

they were suppose to be $400 no?

[velvet summit]

Those are the same parts for the business customers

[unreal trail]

llike buying a car, but have to buy the tires separately

[velvet summit]

No sane regular apple user would ever buy these

[pliant berry]

I will admit, it is a very nice stand. would I personally pay 1k for it? no bring it down to 300-400 and ill think about it

[nocturne flicker]

Just because rich morons can afford it doesn't mean it is okay

[cursive oasis]

not even that. decent gaming monitors are that price

[random osprey]

also the stand is meant for their 5k usd monitor, not for a $135 dell monitor

[pliant berry]

I mean, most high end stands come in the 200-300usd range anyway

[wary fjord]

pc a upgradable toaster

xD

[rancid juniper]

yea

[wary fjord]

good buy xD

[rancid juniper]

i can buy a cheap crappc and can upgrade

it can still do the things OP listed

[nocturne flicker]

Turn PC into water heater. Play games and cook your instant noodles at the same time

This is actually cheaper than what Sony is selling them at now

y is newegg shipping so slow

[mental yoke]

i ordered on sep 4 and its shipping on sep 16

wtf takes it 8+ days

[random osprey]

a cheaper watch from them

[random osprey]

depends where you live and also they use ups. also depends if you bought from newegg or a third part seller on newegg

[sweet phoenix]

Where you live, product stock, how much it's in demand, might be shipping from out of country depending on seller

A large variety of factors

[mental yoke]

Dk i was buying a new pc from skytech and they already sold and shipped it new egg is taking long

[sweet phoenix]

Skytech is not US based

I don't believe anyways

[mental yoke]

Idk where newegg’s warehouse is

[sweet phoenix]

Newegg has many, many warehouses

many

[tranquil pebble]

oh, its one of THOSE brands... yeah I cant comment on my thoughts on these without breaking server rules tbh

[random osprey]

i think they are unless they just have a US office cause they have on in ontario, california

[mental yoke]

i live in the us though

will it not ship to me

[sweet phoenix]

I believe that's their customer service hq thingy

[tranquil pebble]

That stuff better at least be like jewelry metals though

[sweet phoenix]

I hate skytech with a passion

[random osprey]

so i mean the 1k apple watch strap aint that bad considering its hermes but at the same time kinda insane to spend 1k on a watch band like that

[sweet phoenix]

It is actively shipping to you, you're good

May I ask how much you paid for it?

[mental yoke]

3&

3k

[sweet phoenix]

There's a 13700kf 4080 build for $1470 rn

[tranquil pebble]

if its made of precious metals, it is excusable... if not, well bruh

[mental yoke]

i got a 4090 with a 7800x3D

paired with 64gb of ddr5 ram 6000mhz

[tranquil pebble]

The 4090 probably cost more than all the other parts combined lol

[mental yoke]

the pricing is so good and different to amazon

every pc i see on amazon is overpriced

[tranquil pebble]

ever since the pandemic PC parts, and PCs in general have gotten expensive for gaming capable stuff seems like

[warped crest]

bruh my brother just bought a 3050

and didnt know about the special plug

[rancid juniper]

._.

[sweet phoenix]

Debatable

[mental yoke]

ya but whats newegg+

[sweet phoenix]

I don't like best buy, newegg, or amazon for pre builts honestly

They have some sales at times for some decent value builds

But most of the time it's largely overpaying

[sweet phoenix]

Stupid, it's a free subscription that gives you some extra deals

[tranquil pebble]

PCs be like: absurd price for "normal", and slightly overpriced when on "sale" lol

[mental yoke]

How am i “stupid” i always use amazon for faster delivery, i’ve never used newegg to buy a product till now

[sweet phoenix]

What??

I didn't call you stupid my guy

You said "what's newegg+?"

I said it's stupid

Please read

[mental yoke]

Ok

[sweet phoenix]

Ok

[rancid juniper]

egg

[mystic osprey]

[tranquil pebble]

tbf with the way you typed that I can see how they misinterpreted

but yeah newegg+ is just newegg trying to pull an Amazon... lol

[sinful blade]

@mental yoke you can quite literally see 0 difference in performance on 99% of games between the 1.5k pc Bacca mentioned and the one you bought

I would highly suggest canceling and getting something significantly cheaper for better value

[sweet phoenix]

Ehhhh

4090 is def better than 4080

And 7800x3d>13700kf

[rancid juniper]

dont buy degradetel i this moment

[sweet phoenix]

It's technichally fine

[sinful blade]

Well yeah, but unless he’s playing cyberpunk at max with rt on
There’s just a few fps difference for $1500 more

[sweet phoenix]

I still wouldnt, but it's safe with new micro code

[rancid juniper]

however due to Zen5 wack launch and intel's issue the 7800x3d may have a price hike

[sweet phoenix]

It alr has

$420

[rancid juniper]

aw damn

[sinful blade]

Yeah it’s gone up a bit

[sweet phoenix]

Was $310-360 for so long

[sinful blade]

I think last time I looked it was $384

[pseudo raven]

ew the new samsung tablets are using mediatek

imagine paying 1k for an s10 ultra

[misty sparrow]

Of course

[nocturne flicker]

That’s what awakened me

[nocturne flicker]

Exactly. It is almost as if we are on the same wavelength

LEROYYYYYYYY JENNNNKINNNNNSSSSS

OH OOOH OOOOH MY GODDD OHHHHHHHHHHHH

[craggy shoal]

murder it

[velvet summit]

sad violin noises

[mental yoke]

Definitely not correct

13700kf is good

[velvet summit]

[mental yoke]

But 7800x3d has way better performance

[velvet summit]

let me guess

ok that's a fair argument

[mental yoke]

And 4090 is way better in peformance than a 4080

[velvet summit]

it is good

but the value is better on the amd side

[mental yoke]

Intel is dead

7800x3d ruined them

[velvet summit]

i would say intel ruined themselves 💀

chip degredation lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry intel bros just gotta hodl

Grandma will be proud eventually

[velvet summit]

💀

ngl i forgot about that guy

how has the intel stocks been recently

are they going back up yet

lmao

[nocturne flicker]

He should be happy today, intel went up about 3% today to 19.6 or something. So he recouped a little

[mental yoke]

Y is the 7900x3d so hated

[velvet summit]

not at all 💀

[nocturne flicker]

Just when I was going to siphon a little money from my paycheck to invest in Intel they go and get out of the $18 price zone

[sinful blade]

Yes, you’re correct.

But what games will you be playing?

[mental yoke]

Cyberpunk 2077

Hogwarts Legacy

[nocturne flicker]

Guess they won't be getting my bank breaking $50

[mental yoke]

Cs2

Valorant
Tons of steam games

[pseudo raven]

intel going down has nothing to do with the 7800x3d

7800x3d being so good is a sign of how terrible their development and manufacturing has been for over the past decade now

not that x3d is bad or anything

[sinful blade]

https://youtu.be/9xGVOsftVv4?feature=shared

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah. It is because they cancelled their dividend

[pseudo raven]

that too lmao

even intel is trading at 90x earnings still

lmoa

[sinful blade]

You’ll see performance increases, but is that 25-30% worth an extra grand to you?

[pseudo raven]

comparatively nvidia despite being worth 3 trillion is only trading at 50x earnings

[nocturne flicker]

Need the extra 25% to browse the internet better

[sinful blade]

Real

[pseudo raven]

amd trading 180x lmao

[mental yoke]

Still thinking

[velvet summit]

just say no

it really isnt

[mental yoke]

4090 seems pathetic for the price at most it should be 1,500-1,800

[velvet summit]

4090 is pretty much only actually useful for productivity and AI

[nocturne flicker]

Your brain on halo products

[sinful blade]

That’s what I’m trying to say.

[mental yoke]

5090 will actually be good though

[sinful blade]

Unless you’re REAAAALLY needing that performance, it would be better to get a 7800x3d and 4080super build instead.

[wary fjord]

its time to invest

[velvet summit]

where you getting that info 🧐

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/true-correct-dwight-schrute-rainn-wilson-right-gif-23822659

[mental yoke]

In CPU based games, i’ve seen benchmarks and the reason i’m picking a 4080 s or a 4090 and not a 4070 card is because everytime i see somebody pairing their 4070 with the 7800x3d in games like Valorant where it highly CPU based, people get 900 fps with 4080 s and 500–700 with 4070 cards

[mental yoke]

whats ur pc specs rn

[sinful blade]

I don’t have a build atm
That’s all I got left over

Next build of mine will be a 4080 super build tho

But I have a customer coming up hopefully with a budget build for me to get some extra money off of

We need AI 4chan

[tranquil pebble]

I hope the AI ends up training on its own output and choking

[nocturne flicker]

AI reddit, where various AIs answer prompts other AIs couldn't handle in the most obtuse and incompetent fashion possible

And then they start yelling at each other in the comments

[tranquil pebble]

Microsoft should bring back Clippy and put LLM into it

[nocturne flicker]

But since they are trained with the same data they send the exact same insults to each other

And then each one takes the insult as a prompt and generates a random response until one of them glitches and sends a response about a random topic

I messed up. Need to wake up early

Bruh…..

1080p Premium Bitrate has got to be the goofiest thing YouTube has done

atp I just block the channel that uses it lol

Just upload in 1440p 💀

[tranquil pebble]

imagine using a bunch of floppies as swap

[velvet summit]

💀

it would be so loud

*zzzzzt zzzzzt zzzzzt zzzzzt"
"oh hey my swap is being utilized"

[tranquil pebble]

one of these days I am going to do a RAID of cheap flash drives for lulz

[craggy shoal]

imagine a floppy NAS

[misty sparrow]

I don’t even know what it is

Is it just normal 1080p but looks slightly better?

Don’t understand

[proud jackal]

https://open.spotify.com/track/72gPDy1zVt95zVNali0IhK?si=620648588e5c44e6

MEOW MEOW MEOW

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

It's just normal 1080p. And then they make the non-premium a lower bitrate

The most (word I shouldn't say) crap I’ve seen on YouTube

[misty sparrow]

So the video looks less pixelated but it’s still the same res?

[craggy shoal]

Okay

Take something that’s decent

Now label it as "Premium"

Take that same thing (the original part). Now call it "normal" but have at a lower quality

That’s 1080p Premium vs normal 1080p on YouTube

[lone mango]

I dont understand

Is this something they just did

[craggy shoal]

😐

[lone mango]

Oh are you talking about how 1080p will look better if you upload at 1440p or uhd

[craggy shoal]

This BS

1080p Premium: normal 1080p
1080p: looks like junk (lower bitrate)

[misty sparrow]

Water Premium

Water

Oh wait doesn’t that already exist

[craggy shoal]

It's been around

[tranquil pebble]

just wait until they do this to all resolutions

[lone mango]

This has been a thing for a year

[pseudo raven]

I never notice a difference with it either

[lone mango]

I didn't even know it existed

[pseudo raven]

its useless

[craggy shoal]

I just finally decided to say something about it lol

I hate that I’m one of the few to complain about it

The video is almost unwatchable for me

Don't know how y'all don't see the difference lol

[pseudo raven]

I got premium because I was tired of ads

[craggy shoal]

Bruh you could've just used uBlock lol

[misty sparrow]

What if they’re on iOS?

[craggy shoal]

Safari and whatever ad blockers

I actually do this lol

[lone mango]

Dude

[craggy shoal]

"But it doesn't feel as nice as the YouTube app" bro idc I can't stand ads 💀

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

Why pay for no ads on one app when you can block them for free on all apps?

Couldn't imagine not having a DNS blocker 💀

[lone mango]

I uninstalled youtube and just watch on my computer if needed

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that’s what I do

[pseudo raven]

I pay 25 dollars a year for it

having it work on mobile and especially the TV is much appreciated

[craggy shoal]

I meet your goal for free lol

[icy ore]

YouTube premium is such a scam man ugh

LTT made a video on piracy things and one of them was how to watch YouTube without ads and YouTube took it down and gave him a strike 💀

[pseudo raven]

not really but whatever is good enough for you lol

[craggy shoal]

lol ok

L opinion ngl

[misty sparrow]

I really want to see the original uncut video

But that’s probably lost to time

[storm narwhal]

I literally have Firefox on my phone that also let's me play videos when it's locked

And I just screenshare to my TV using the built in streaming stuff if I ever want to

But usually I'm on my computer anyway

Terrible waste of money for nearly no benefit

Premium is a scam value wise

I'm literally paying 0 dollars a month for those same "features"

[misty sparrow]

Does it also include YouTube music too

or am I wrong

[storm narwhal]

I don't know actually

Probably not?

Given that Netflix has a paid tier with ads

[storm narwhal]

Oh

Well that's not as bad, at least you get music

I'd say that's pretty much all you're paying for with a subscription

[misty sparrow]

It’s more expensive than Spotify premium

no point

[nocturne flicker]

Reject paid subscriptions, return to the seas

[misty sparrow]

Exactly

[storm narwhal]

Oh wait it is lmao

Yeah that's a crap deal

Lemme buy CDs and rip em

[pseudo raven]

screensharing is inconvenient as is the browser on mobile

to the point where 2 dollars a month is worth it to me

id never pay regular price though

[craggy shoal]

And then self-host your own service to stream it lol

[storm narwhal]

Wrong point to reply to

Also not really I hit stream it streams my phone screen

I fullscreen the video

Boom done

[pseudo raven]

lol so you can't do anything on your phone while it's on

[storm narwhal]

Yeah I'm not gonna be doing something else on my phone lol

[pseudo raven]

again if that's good enough for you then great lol

[storm narwhal]

If I am I'm going to my computer

[pseudo raven]

id rather just pay 25 a year and worry about none of that

[storm narwhal]

25 a year?

It's 14 per month no?

[pseudo raven]

yeah i have a family plan in bulled another country

*billed sorry

[storm narwhal]

Ah

[pseudo raven]

I would not pay 14 a month or anything close to it

maybe 4 a month at most

[storm narwhal]

Yeah I see

Eh, kinda fair enough

Oh yeah I don't ever use the smart features on my TV

Because that's a privacy nightmare

ProtonVPN my friend

VPN is just another word for a company that you pay for them to collect you data and sell it

[storm narwhal]

Free tier has no speed restrictions

[misty sparrow]

no p2p

[storm narwhal]

Swiss based company

[misty sparrow]

if you know what I mean

[storm narwhal]

Ah true p2p I think is locked behind pay

[nocturne flicker]

ISPs can't see direct downloads anyways, just don't torrent

[storm narwhal]

If you do, do it on a VPN

[misty sparrow]

Unless it’s not HTTPS, right?

[nocturne flicker]

Or don't, ISPs don't actually care, just that content cops sometimes watch torrent traffic to catch people and they send the requests to ISPs

[storm narwhal]

But it's effectively the same result lol

No internets

[nocturne flicker]

I used to torrent all the time without a VPN, no complaints

I did it on college wifi sometimes too

They only yelled at a guy who was downloading music

And they didn't even know who it was so they sent a college wide message about it

Apparently you can

Welp I had bad timing there

Sorry

The way you do it is via a bluetooth adapter @swift spruce

Not sure if the new series xbox's have bluetooth inside

Bit weird if they didn't though given that I've taken one part

They use standard wifi cards

does amd freesync premium work with an nvidia graphics card?

[storm narwhal]

Freesync and gsync are the same thing last I recall

Everyone can use it

[nocturne flicker]

G-Sync is Nvidia only, FreeSync is AMD's open source version of it. FreeSync will generally work with most modern Nvidia GPUs

[wary fjord]

they does the same thing xD but not the same thing.i think

freesync are standard.. gsync has external hardware

freesync ftw

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc there is a certain type of G-Sync now that is capable of being used with non-Nvidia gpus

[wary fjord]

but it might change soon they adding ai stuff on their gsync now since it has integrated hardware they have more control on it.

gsync might be relevant again soon xD

hope not freesync ftw

does the size has to do why some electronic today still prefer biigger caps

i havea question , assuming my laptop just stops working rn and that the drive works fine , if i pop the same drive into a new system will it boot and i can just reinstall all the drivers?

if that doesn't work

will plugging the drive seprately and recovering my data possible?

[craggy shoal]

Yes that'll work. Recommended to do it in safe mode though

Or plug the drive into a different computer (like with an M.2 or SATA to USB adapter. Probably easier that way tbh)

Anyways, time for my question given that it's almost business-related.
Is anybody else having issues access Microsoft services?

We have meetings happening within half an hour from now and we can't even access Outlook or Teams

Honestly don't even know why I'm asking this. I just sent data showing that MS is having an outage lol

It's at like 15.6K reports now
