with connecting laptop to monitor via mini dp thunderbolt (yes its supported, it just works 30% of the time)

[fresh nova]

Tomie help

[fresh nova]

Let's start with step one did you turn it on & off & on again?

Then step 2 is have you tried multiple adapters or just one we have to rule out if it's the laptop drivers or the adapter.

Step 3 reinstall the laptop drivers.

[dusty meteor]

yes

What yall think about the ps5 pro comming out

[unreal trail]

looks like MS cant hide the "Cancel XBox Live" button anymore

[unreal trail]

Pro is useless

keep your base PS5

[ripe field]

Fr?

How come

[unreal trail]

It still not able to play games at stable framerates lol

[velvet summit]

imagine a ps5
and then imagine a ps5 with stripes

(there are more improvements than just a slight aesthetic change but realistically there's not much of a difference)

[unreal trail]

its gonna cost 1000 burgers by the time you get a stand and disc drive and decent SSD for it

[ripe field]

Oh

[velvet summit]

also the disc drive is an overpriced extra item you buy seperately

[ripe field]

I didn't know it had such issues it just crossed my mind and I realized u could preorder it

[unreal trail]

the disc drive is worth about 25 bucks tbh

[ripe field]

Dang

[unreal trail]

theyre selling it for what? 60

[ripe field]

I bought my ps5 a couple years ago

[unreal trail]

keep it

[ripe field]

Imagined the pro would be quite a bit better

[unreal trail]

get Switch 2 instead

[ripe field]

What's a switch 2

[unreal trail]

its a Switch, but next gen

[ripe field]

Idk I'm not much in to Nintendo

[unreal trail]

everybody is gonna be going to it to save their studio

because nobody is making money on Xbox or PS5

[ripe field]

Do they take bigger cuts on the sales?

[pliant berry]

nintendo would need to bring massive performance boost in their next gen to compete

[ripe field]

What's there even to do on Nintendo lmao all I know is just Mario

[unreal trail]

I dunno.. I think at this point they just need to keep getting good games

[unreal trail]

bruh I have over 120 games on my Switch

I didnt even buy the last Maro they made

[ripe field]

I'm so weak when it comes to switch I usually have some knowledge

[pliant berry]

it is true they have been getting more games but said games run horribly on it. I mean go figure the tech in the switch is ancient at this point

[unreal trail]

some of then run horribly

the ones the publisher doesnt bother optimising them

[hoary zodiac]

Optimisation's been dead since cyberpunk 2077

[hoary zodiac]

why spend money to make your game playable when people are willing to buy a version that runs like crap

[unreal trail]

yes but they couuld at least find a stable framerate and lock the game to it

uncapped fr is for PC

[hoary zodiac]

nahhhh they won't spend the money

they gotta make another cod reskin

[hoary zodiac]

the funny thing is

there are games that look worse than gta v and runs like crap

[unreal trail]

[spark halo]

So say i wanted to purchase a labtop

[fresh nova]

Well I have tested 3 laptops over the poast 3 days

[spark halo]

With similar specs to say a ryzen 7 2400 8core 32gb of ram and a gtx 3070 or 3080

What would i be looking for

Honestly cpu dont matter to me

Gpu does

Will be my main pc now

https://tenor.com/view/well-its-been-a-nice-run-nice-run-good-run-good-times-nice-gif-11389551

But due to houses power issues running a desktop is near impossible

Any ideas out there

[idle nexus]

this was before my time ig

[fresh nova]

Asus Zephrus

Best one I've tested.

[storm narwhal]

Higher end one

Not the lower end ones

[idle nexus]

maybe get a cheap UPS thing

[storm narwhal]

Cyberpower or APC

[spark halo]

Tried that one time didnt end well

Tried both in fact

[storm narwhal]

Huh

[idle nexus]

maybe get a slightly more expensive UPS from a reputable brand lol

taking shots in the dark here sorry

[spark halo]

Cyberpower surge protecter and a cyberpower apc

Both went bad

[pliant berry]

cheap UPS' i'd imagine wouldn't be fun. considering I had one randomly shut down on me before defeating the purpose of it lol

[idle nexus]

let's consider the bigger picture here tho

what power issues are you having?

[pliant berry]

mine was also a cyberpower

[idle nexus]

rolling blackouts?

surges?

[spark halo]

When you only have 15amps to play with its near impossible

[storm narwhal]

Brownouts?

[spark halo]

No

House is old

[idle nexus]

run another circuit

[storm narwhal]

Yeah might be better to work on the house wiring at this point

[spark halo]

Cant

Trailer wiring from the 80s

[storm narwhal]

Tear into the walls

Eat the wiring

[spark halo]

Ooor

I just get a labtop

I have had so many parts be lost to power failure

Its not worth it

[storm narwhal]

But how does a laptop make it different in this case?

[spark halo]

A labtop i can control how much juice it pulls

[storm narwhal]

Its still going to die to a surge or some other electrical issue that's been killing your hardware

[pliant berry]

lower power. worst it can do is not charge the laptop really

[idle nexus]

is there one in an adjacent room? turn off circuit; pop out one of the KOs in the existing box; drill a hole thru the wall; line up hole with a KO on a new 1900 box; trace the outline of the new box; cut out the drywall; cut a piece of 1/2" EMT that to link the new box to the existing one; put 1/2" EMT connectors on both boxes; put in piece of pipe you cut; mount box on same stud the existing one is on; run about 1' each of white, black, & green 12 AWG; connect new outlet to the 12 AWG; mount new outlet & put cover on; tie into existing circuit in adjacent room; turn power back on; profit

[storm narwhal]

He knows what's up

I'm nodding like I understood but I don't really

[tranquil pebble]

and the battery might even catch fire from a surge

[storm narwhal]

Maybe

[pliant berry]

insurance might not like that though

haha

[spark halo]

Well i dont think its surging is the thing

[tranquil pebble]

as we all know lithium is pretty volatile when subjected to abuse

[idle nexus]

so you're tripping the 15A breaker?

[storm narwhal]

Though true, power consumption can be more managed

[spark halo]

And my plan is to buy insurance

For the labtop

[idle nexus]

check the wire in your wall. If it's 12awg, you can change the breaker to a 20A safely

[pliant berry]

is there a fridge or something on the same circuit

[spark halo]

Im not sure is the problem

[idle nexus]

if it's 14AWG, technically it's a code violation to put a 20A but the ampacity of 14AWG could handle it but don't cuz that's dangerous lol

so the breaker doesn't trip?

[storm narwhal]

Isn't 20A breaker like the standard now

[idle nexus]

15A & 20A usually

[storm narwhal]

Yeah

[idle nexus]

20A is required for like kitchens

[pliant berry]

a

exit

[storm narwhal]

That's what I remember

[spark halo]

Yeah this house is old….

[storm narwhal]

But yeah Zephyrus is a good option for a laptop

[pliant berry]

ye 15amp is still pretty standard

[storm narwhal]

The Asus TUF A15 is good still iirc

[spark halo]

I know i can connect the labtop to a surge protector

Let me put this in perspective

[pliant berry]

careful you don't get a fire. older unmaintained electrical systems is often cause of house fires

[spark halo]

The wiring in this house is so bad almost everything is surge protected

[idle nexus]

even older wire with not as good insulation rated to 75C, 14 AWG is rated to 20A. It's just that code requires 14AWG to be on a 15A circuit

[spark halo]

I wouldnt doubt it happens

[velvet summit]

i wonder if the breaker is 20a for my kitchen

[idle nexus]

but then there's other factors like how many current carrying conductors share the pipe & size of the pipe, etc. lol

[velvet summit]

only have 15a receptacles

[spark halo]

I just rent

[storm narwhal]

Aahhh

[tranquil pebble]

14 AWG has an absolute limit of about 160 amps. Past this and the wire will melt. However, in a residential setting this will cause a fire ofc.

[idle nexus]

you rent?

tell your landlord

[spark halo]

Yes very cheap

[storm narwhal]

Yeah that's a problem for ripping out the walls

[spark halo]

Uuuuh about that….

[storm narwhal]

Maybe you should tell your landlord tho yeah if you can

[spark halo]

They probably wont fix it

[idle nexus]

warranty of inhabitibil... nvm lol

[spark halo]

Like they really Do. Not. Care.

[pliant berry]

receptacles for larger appliances are usually hidden on something like a 20 or 25amp receptacle

[storm narwhal]

Doesn't hurt to try

Usually

[tranquil pebble]

arent those usually 200v too?

[pliant berry]

oh right

and that is why they typically hide those receptacles xD

[velvet summit]

yeah my stove has a... 20a? 240v outlet for electric stoves

we have an induction stove

(the cheapest one i found)

[spark halo]

Yeah idk best i can do is a labtop with surge protector

[velvet summit]

i absolutely hate how it has digital controls but oh well

[pliant berry]

like touchscreen control?

[velvet summit]

it works well

kinda yeah

capacitive buttons

https://www.frigidaire.ca/Owner-Centre/Product-Support/CGIH3047VF

[pliant berry]

one of my relatives has a higher end induction stove with the capacitive buttons. it can be a pain sometimes yep

[velvet summit]

induction stoves are definitely nice though

better than having a gas hob in a sealed house with poor ventilation

i like gas stoves but i would rather not have one in the house lmao

[pliant berry]

here we use gas stove and electric oven. that way if there is a outage or out of gas we still have something

[idle nexus]

I think the concern is the insulation long before the copper

[idle nexus]

aren't these usually 30A or even 50A 240v?

[tranquil pebble]

yeah and the heat burning anything else

[idle nexus]

arcing causes heckin

heck you can turn off widgets in gpedit? I kinda like my weather tho

[pliant berry]

my weather was gone long ago

[idle nexus]

I was messing with gpedit earlier & turned off toast notifications

now I miss it cuz I when I screen snip I have to like paste to paint to edit it lol

ah found it

under UserConfig

[pliant berry]

screen snip? you mean you don't use sharex?

[velvet summit]

I honestly don't know, I haven't checked lmao

[idle nexus]

I have it downloaded somewhere but never got into it lol

[pliant berry]

smh my head

[idle nexus]

eh would look like this

[velvet summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/43cf3g_cEPE?si=DrRtG0UE0x8Rghnb damn removing a dipstick and replacing it with a digital sensor can't be saving any money at all could it

[idle nexus]

could also be 3-prong if it's a little older

[storm narwhal]

Please sir could you spare more oil

[storm narwhal]

That's 240v?

I think

[idle nexus]

I've been on a crusade lately to try to stop my information from being collected

not that there's anything worth collecting, it's just the damn principle

[fresh nova]

Winner winner

[velvet summit]

Good old split phase

[idle nexus]

why are the keys rainbow?

[fresh nova]

For $800 I’ve picked my winner.

[storm narwhal]

Yeah I turned off all the tracking stuff on my phone

[pliant berry]

man I rarely ever see those receptacles

[fresh nova]

Can’t beat the price/performance in that screen size

[idle nexus]

I don't think that does enough lol

[storm narwhal]

Without my phone constantly scanning for devices I also get more battery

[storm narwhal]

All my Google privacy stuff for ads is off and I only turned on a few things I absolutely need

But yeah, it might still not be enough haha

[idle nexus]

I had an idea: make phone cases that have a little switch on them that turns on a jammer or some other thing that makes MY PHONE NOT LISTEN TO ME CONSTANTLY

[storm narwhal]

REAL

[pliant berry]

COLLECT ALL MY DATA

[storm narwhal]

Ford vehicles should have that

[idle nexus]

lol ya right

[storm narwhal]

I bet you could install a switch to do that

[pliant berry]

surely the fbi shouldn't show up at my door

[idle nexus]

if you want the opposite, GM will steal your data AND SELL IT TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY to raise your rates

[storm narwhal]

Real

[idle nexus]

I hate it

[storm narwhal]

You braked to avoid hitting a dog on the road?

[idle nexus]

like I'm on this Louis Rossman tip lately

[storm narwhal]

5000 million dollar increase to your insurancr

[idle nexus]

it's absurd

[storm narwhal]

Also we'll report you to the police

[pliant berry]

should've hit the dog

[idle nexus]

absolutely absurd to pretend that consumers have any meaningful choice NOT to accept the terms

[spark halo]

So if im looking at a gaming labtop what brand

[storm narwhal]

Its like the trolley problem

Would you rather get an increase on your insurance or hit a dog and possibly kill it

[pliant berry]

bye bye doggo

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[storm narwhal]

The amount of damage to the dog is free to interpret any way you want

The increase is not

[spark halo]

runs into tree

[idle nexus]

lol ask @fresh nova he's been testing extensively

[storm narwhal]

Nope, there's no third option

[spark halo]

@fresh nova

[fresh nova]

I have tested several laptops recently

[storm narwhal]

Asus Zephyrus or TUF A15

[spark halo]

Okay and

[storm narwhal]

I guess

[spark halo]

What brand labtop

For gaming

[storm narwhal]

At least from what I know

[fresh nova]

MSI or Asus takes it for me

[spark halo]

Okay

[storm narwhal]

Msi

[fresh nova]

MSI is cheaper, ASUS is slightly better

[storm narwhal]

I did not expect that

[spark halo]

Basically what is not a bomb.

[fresh nova]

But we’re talking marginally

[idle nexus]

like, e.g., is there any reasonable person who is going to pretend you don't need a smart phone? What are you supposed to do? base what job you have on whether a smart phone is required? Negotiate AT&T's contract terms? NO, you're going to let Samsung, Google, Apple, & whoever else spy on you because you need a stupid smart phone

[spark halo]

😮

[fresh nova]

Wut just happened

[idle nexus]

& they're going to hide it in an 86-page EULA

[spark halo]

So confused.

[storm narwhal]

[fresh nova]

I'm testing that one now

[tacit quiver]

aw hell nah why we sending bestbuy links in the newegg server 😭😭😭😭

[spark halo]

Okay so ill just go open box

And then do return roulette till they actually send me a non broken one

[spark halo]

Cause of what i just said

[tranquil pebble]

crispy critters

[fresh nova]

@spark halo It played Rust on Ultra at 80fps

[tacit quiver]

did you know a geek squad member spits in every laptop they mark open box

[fresh nova]

That's impressive

[spark halo]

Nice nice

[fresh nova]

RUST is a very hard game to run

[idle nexus]

heck HuevoNuevo Miami just isn't happening is it? lol

[spark halo]

Did you know i believe that statement.

[fresh nova]

If you upgrade the RAM to 32GB I think it's perfect.

[rigid sinew]

no clue what it is actually pls give me detail

[proud jackal]

285k will be good

[idle nexus]

it's the Newegg event in Miami I made up lol

[tranquil pebble]

underrated game right here

[rigid sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/iamzoie-faint-lol-lmao-tookmeout-gif-10449204050542459506

[fresh nova]

@spark halo
I'd change the drive with a fire cuda m.2 & upgrade the RAM to ddr5 5600mhz 32GB (2x16)

[tacit quiver]

its so true

[fresh nova]

Other than that it's solid

[idle nexus]

Huevo = egg & Nuevo = New according to bing (ya I use bing so what). Ig you don't like the idea & won't be pitching it to the execs lol

[tacit quiver]

estoy fluido en español

[rigid sinew]

why in miami though

[idle nexus]

cuz I'm in Miami

[pliant berry]

because he is in miami ofc

[idle nexus]

& Miami is like cool kinda ig

[rigid sinew]

sorry i been watching dexter, i dont wanna go there

[proud jackal]

SF Bay area event when

[idle nexus]

never

[proud jackal]

[rigid sinew]

i rather do sf bay than miami

[idle nexus]

that show is like 10 years old lol

[tacit quiver]

he estudiado la idioma para 6 años en el secundario y la universidad. esas palabras son correctas

[pliant berry]

how about nyc? we got thieves

[rigid sinew]

still accurate

[idle nexus]

muy bueno pero necessitimos a hablar en ingles por uh la ley de server

[rigid sinew]

un la ley? what dat is

[idle nexus]

glad how white I would sound saying that doesn't come thru in text

[tacit quiver]

yo fui la ley del server... en una vida pasada

[idle nexus]

isn't that "law" I figured it would work for rule I dunno

[pliant berry]

sounds like language mixing

[proud jackal]

We have Asus here and Corsair and AMD and Intel

[rigid sinew]

maybeee

[somber skiff]

We need another wegg asus meet 🙏

[idle nexus]

sponsored OC team? what?

lol

[somber skiff]

A few of us are

[rigid sinew]

everyone is far from me

[somber skiff]

The last one was in Freemont

[tacit quiver]

@somber skiff what brand is your microwave

[deep parcel]

same, also im too broke to do OC stuff now lol... also just havent felt like doing overclocking because id rather not break my computer at this point.

[somber skiff]

[spark halo]

Most likely will run an external drive

For larger game storage

[rigid sinew]

thats 6 hrs from me

i guess i would be able to do a weekend

[pliant berry]

exactly why you should buy a second pc

and perhaps a third

[tacit quiver]

@somber skiff can i have my image perms back pls 💕💕💕💕

[somber skiff]

Gotta ping red role for that

[storm narwhal]

Bros not even a regular role-

[tacit quiver]

@proud jackal we're friends, right??

[gusty quartz]

lol

[storm narwhal]

Send one of those gifs he usually sends

Maybe that'll get his attention

[tacit quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-woman-anime-drink-drinking-tea-gif-10743290

[proud jackal]

Why are you asking

[tacit quiver]

i dont even have embed perms...

[idle nexus]

what if we don't have it in Freemont, CA? lol

[rigid sinew]

fly like a bird

[proud jackal]

Go to rank channel and find out what you were before

[pliant berry]

ehh that's only a short drive

[storm narwhal]

He actually doesn't

[idle nexus]

I'm scared to visit a communist country tho

[gusty quartz]

Just visit canada, same thing

[idle nexus]

jk I had a connecting flight in California before

no one detained me or anything

[tacit quiver]

i think i was legend

[storm narwhal]

[proud jackal]

@rigid sinew tell us about the night market

[idle nexus]

[fresh nova]

When is it

[storm narwhal]

!give-xp 5 million

[fresh nova]

I'll book a flight

[tacit quiver]

is this some sort of integer limit because its not 16 or 32

[idle nexus]

can I do that? I've never attempted any of this lol

[storm narwhal]

I'll take my XP thank you

[tacit quiver]

!ban @somber skiff

[fresh nova]

@somber skiff When the meet? I'll fly out

One good thing about the current job is I can just schedule off whenever I want

[somber skiff]

[storm narwhal]

!role-set @storm narwhal admin

That's totally what the command is

[tacit quiver]

how am i still rank 24 😭

idek what a motherboard is 😭

[fresh nova]

I'd have to learn about CA laws

I heard they have diff laws

[velvet summit]

your mom when she's bored

[tacit quiver]

this lecture boring asf

[pliant berry]

BAD STUDENT

[somber skiff]

I wonder if this works

!gimmemod

[boreal copper]

I can't do that because my highest role is too low in the hierarchy.

Need help?
https://help.mee6.xyz/support/solutions/articles/101000385404-role-too-low-in-hierarchy

[somber skiff]

lame

[pliant berry]

ehh that's ok I spend half my class time answering emails and texts

[proud jackal]

That's a long keyboard

[storm narwhal]

Eww coding(?)

[fresh nova]

Not my strongsuit

[tacit quiver]

something algorithms

genuinely hate that class

which is a shame because its really important

[pliant berry]

what do you hate about it? or is it just the topic you hate

[tacit quiver]

in the US i go to a small university with class sizes equivalent to a big high school and there is a lot more opportunity to ask questions and stay focused

currently i am in New Zealand on a study abroad program and its at a big school (~40,000 students) and lectures have like 200+ students and its a lot more like straight lecture

way harder to focus and ask questions

• the topic of algorithms is just generally difficult

[pliant berry]

oh my

[tacit quiver]

i also dont have the prerequisite courses i needed to take for the ones im in rn 🙈

so im a little lost anyways 🙈

[pliant berry]

well hopefully not too lost

[tacit quiver]

yeah no im completely lost

anyways How do i put Microsoft on my iPad ?

[pliant berry]

well your in a coding class, I'm sure you can figure it out 🙂

[dusk knot]

Why is Zach soo back in the lecture room?

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[pliant berry]

so he can hide ofc

[storm narwhal]

I was gonna say parsec or chrome remote desktop

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/randys-donuts-zach-king-grossed-out-yuck-fake-donut-gif-20076882

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[storm narwhal]

But I don't think Apple app store has those

[tacit quiver]

is this Microsoft?

[pliant berry]

yes!

[tacit quiver]

YAY

[pliant berry]

you should now learn to watch anime through the command line

[storm narwhal]

Learn how to read HTML and css

[mighty hazel]

That’s an iPad

[storm narwhal]

And imagine what the website looks like in your head

[tacit quiver]

no its not it has a keyboard

ipads dont have keyboards

[storm narwhal]

"What's a laptop?"

[dusk knot]

🤮

[storm narwhal]

How'd that marketing go, apple?

[dusk knot]

that smuggy liitle kid

[tacit quiver]

HAH

[storm narwhal]

The iPad is still painfully iPad

And not laptop like

[dusk knot]

Ipad IOS is very limited

[tacit quiver]

iPadOS is delightful

[storm narwhal]

Didn't they just get stage manager

Or was that a bit ago

[dusk knot]

first thing I noticed is how weak file management is

[tacit quiver]

miles better than current windows file management

[unreal trail]

more salt pls

[tacit quiver]

modern windows has two folders for desktop, pictures, downloads, etc. and one is stored in onedrive the other is local

and to an average user, when using file explorer, its literally a gamble on which one youre saving things to

[dusk knot]

[tacit quiver]

naw im so right

[dusk knot]

skill issue as they would say

but i understand, IpadOS is more simplistic

[craggy shoal]

Bruh who is Zacheri

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[craggy shoal]

WAIT

[dusk knot]

you know him

[craggy shoal]

hi Zach welcome back

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[dusk knot]

former mod

[craggy shoal]

It's been the longest time lmao

[dusk knot]

I thought he departed wegg for good

[craggy shoal]

Zach is your computer still slow?

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[craggy shoal]

Okay

[storm narwhal]

Fair

I just uninstalled OneDrive lol

[tacit quiver]

is this being triggered manually or 😭

[storm narwhal]

I got a nas anyway

[craggy shoal]

Zach

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[storm narwhal]

Wouldn't you like to know

[craggy shoal]

Nah but imma just start signing out of my OneDrive account every Windows installation

[pseudo raven]

one drive

is so annoying

[storm narwhal]

I just revouninstalled it

[pseudo raven]

and there's no way to easily completely remove it

and then every update turns it back on

or tries to

[pliant berry]

ye onedrive is a pain

[storm narwhal]

So I don't have to with worry about it

[pseudo raven]

it completely messed up my desktop last time

I had two desktops or something

[storm narwhal]

Same with copilot app

[tacit quiver]

i know this is a PC discord server but ohmygod mac is so much better

[pliant berry]

apple shill

[pseudo raven]

In some ways

[storm narwhal]

Like go away copilot

[dusk knot]

truth

[craggy shoal]

Pay for OneDrive? Idc if it's $19.99 per year for 100GB. I self host. Don't need that 💀

[pseudo raven]

copilot is only on pcs that actually support it right

[dusk knot]

I do

[craggy shoal]

$19.99 per year for 100GB is a joke 💀😭

[storm narwhal]

I'll just buy two drives and do backups

[pseudo raven]

ngl I could completely run my life off of my tab s9+

[pliant berry]

the only reason i paid the 1usd a month for icloud is because they still include custom email domains in the lowest tier lol

[tacit quiver]

amen

[pseudo raven]

I lost my laptop for two months and that forced me to adapt

lmao

[storm narwhal]

Fellow s9+ users unite

[pseudo raven]

Last good tab

[tacit quiver]

samsung dex is neat

[pseudo raven]

new one has dimensity💀💀💀

[storm narwhal]

S10+ was just a refresh

[dusk knot]

@craggy shoal whats the cheapest I can self host a backup server?

[pseudo raven]

I mean they've been refreshes since pretty much the s6

maybe the s7

[storm narwhal]

I use parsec or remote desktop for computer stuff

[pseudo raven]

I upgraded from the 8 to the 9+ for oled I will not be upgrading for a while

[idle nexus]

my son didn't like the book he got from school so I made him read me the Declaration of Independence lol

[pseudo raven]

i got Linux running pretty well on the tab s9+

[storm narwhal]

But anything less I can do on the tablet

[pseudo raven]

it was close to native perf

but like I didn't need it

[craggy shoal]

Just get a Beelink S12 Pro and slap Nextcloud on it and now you've started an expensive hobby on a budget of sub $200

[idle nexus]

wait, what? how?

[dusk knot]

hm

[idle nexus]

which distro?

[storm narwhal]

XPS officr breaks my xls files

[pseudo raven]

https://github.com/phoenixbyrd/Termux_XFCE

ubuntu I think?

[craggy shoal]

I use Debian-based stuff but you can probably do anything

[storm narwhal]

Whoa

[pseudo raven]

nvm debian

[craggy shoal]

Ubuntu is Debian-based lol

I even have Docker GUI on a Windows machine lol (yeah I know it's wrong don't yell at me I already know)

[pseudo raven]

yeah i pretty much know nothing

[tacit quiver]

How do I install iTunes

[pseudo raven]

i would really reccomend checking this out though

its like hardware accelerated

so it like runs really well

however i dont need it as a bio major

[idle nexus]

I use some distro on my SurfaceGo2 but it's x86 so easy

touch screen works fine?

[pseudo raven]

yes

[storm narwhal]

Maybe I should install it on my Surface

[craggy shoal]

Might put Mint on my Latitude 7320 idk

[storm narwhal]

Its basically a glorified display rn on a good day

Mostly just collects dust now lol

[fresh nova]

I need itixit

[idle nexus]

I think during the time I've owned this SurfaceGo2 thing, it's spent more time at 0% battery doing nothing than on by like 10:1

[idle nexus]

Zorian OS I think was the name btw

or Zoran

[tacit quiver]

i still have a surface go2 as well... dont know what to do with it

[idle nexus]

something like that

[mighty hazel]

I forgot new MacBooks had a notch

[lone mango]

Terrible

[idle nexus]

lol this thing is useless. With Windows installed, it's too slow to do anything

[mighty hazel]

You can remove it

[lone mango]

Good

[tacit quiver]

even with the notch the area below it is still 16:9 or 16:10 i think

[mighty hazel]

It’s a weird way

It turns off a small part of the screen

And makes it look like a normal MacBook

[tacit quiver]

its not even that bad

[craggy shoal]

I personally don't even mind the notch lol

[tacit quiver]

since that area of the screen is taken up by the menu bar anyways

[craggy shoal]

"Guys Apple just put a phat black line right in your face" I don't care slap it all in my face I really don't care 💀

Hold on

[tacit quiver]

?????

woah

[idle nexus]

I dunno why Intel even made this garbage processor with DDR3 in 2019 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/192786/intel-pentium-gold-processor-4425y-2m-cache-1-70-ghz.html

[tacit quiver]

?????

[pliant berry]

macbook standard is 16:10 but I think with the notch is changes to 16:10 but with a menubar on top

[pliant berry]

you must sell your soul

[idle nexus]

does this work on x86? lol

nvm I'll just look instead of being a clown

[tacit quiver]

fullscreen games look beautiful btw

not to mention its a 4k 120hz display...

or 3.5k or smthn :P

[storm narwhal]

Shee

It does look amazing

Pls Spotify stop queuing Christmas music

Its not even close

[spark halo]

Zach was summoned back obviously

[topaz crown]

zach's computer is slow

[opaque sedge]

Should be pre installed, if not check the app store and if you cant download it there then it’s probably not supported anymore, which is cool since you can do most of the things on itunes from the music app and finder now

And settings too

[tacit quiver]

thank u 🙏

im just trolling 🙏

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/cocking-pistol-john-wick-keanu-reeves-john-wick-chapter-4-jw4-gif-14490794064585307818

[tacit quiver]

but i appreciate it 🙏

[opaque sedge]

Pinch the trackpad with 5 fingers and the app menu should pop up and look over there

[tacit quiver]

itunes doesnt exist anymore 🙏

[spark halo]

Err technically it does

[opaque sedge]

For iphone it does

[spark halo]

Yep

[tacit quiver]

40fps for 4k 64 render distance isnt too shabby

[mighty hazel]

I can’t find it 💀

I think I deleted it

[opaque sedge]

Not for mac anymore tho… but well itunes was mostly used for backups and stuff so its not necessary since those tools can be used from finder and settings now

[mighty hazel]

Yeah I deleted it for storage reasons

[spark halo]

I just want too be able to play doom in 4k on a labtop

[opaque sedge]

M3pro?

[mighty hazel]

M1

[opaque sedge]

M1s pretty damn nice

[tacit quiver]

M1 Max

[spark halo]

Like i want to be able to play doom eternal on a labtop in 4k

60fps

Is this possible

[mighty hazel]

Need 2080 laptop

Yes

[worthy tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-caleb-city-point-out-gif-15438493

[tacit quiver]

on battery btw

[mighty hazel]

3060, 3070 laptop something like that

[storm narwhal]

How itunes

[worthy tapir]

"labtop"

[storm narwhal]

How do I tunes

[spark halo]

And?

[opaque sedge]

Also i got the elden ring dlc and ducking hell i got this boss first try goddammit I didn’t get to see her entire moveset… i was wrong abt this game there is no satisfaction in beating a boss first try you need to die to them 5 times to get the full experience and satisfaction of beating them…

[storm narwhal]

M1 is not bad at all though fr

[spark halo]

Labtops have come a long way

[tacit quiver]

has it just been a long time since i played minecraft or like when did ruined portals get so big?

[storm narwhal]

Oh nice usually people struggle with twin moon

[worthy tapir]

what is a labtop

[spark halo]

Is this possible @fresh nova to play doom eternal 60fps in 4k on a labtop

[opaque sedge]

I wanted the struggle!!! I dont feel any SATISFACTION

[storm narwhal]

The moveset is sick tho

Refight them and see their moveset

[opaque sedge]

I didn’t get to experience that majestic moon slam

[opaque sedge]

Cant would have to start a new game

[storm narwhal]

Rip

[opaque sedge]

And for ng+2 i would have to speedrun the main game possibly missing useful stuff in the dlc

[storm narwhal]

Are they not a repeatable boss

[opaque sedge]

Nope no repeatable bosses unless ng+

[storm narwhal]

Ah

Well just go for a build for a new game

[tacit quiver]

i dont feel the need to upgrade at all but i am kind of curious how the performance is on the M3 Max configuration... with the extra CPU and GPU cores.

My laptop is the 2021 Pro 16" with the M1 Max, only 32GB ram so not quite the most maxxed out but almost there

[storm narwhal]

Bonk Boy

Wizard man

[opaque sedge]

Most people have 8…

[craggy shoal]

I still have yet to put MC JE on my MacBook lol

[opaque sedge]

For the macbook

[tacit quiver]

yea ik

32gb ram is so nice 😩

[storm narwhal]

It really is

Especially on a laptop with no dgpu

[tacit quiver]

honestly though MacOS does a really good job of managing ram, 8gb is totally usable on the lowest end they sell. is it right that they still sell $1200+ laptops with 8gb ram? no, but it is usable

[storm narwhal]

Allocate more dedicated vram to it ez

[opaque sedge]

The performance is heavily influenced on the macs with ram apparently

8 gb doesn’t do crap

[storm narwhal]

Good thing it's decided the moment you buy one

And you don't get to upgrade it

[opaque sedge]

That’s… pretty sure that’s a bad thing

[storm narwhal]

What would I do with all these choices

I wouldn't know what to do at all!

[proud jackal]

FRICK

[storm narwhal]

TAKE MY CHOICESAWAY APPLE

Eh that's enough edits I'm over it

Honestly I don't even want to buy a current gen laptop

Cause the RAM is soldered in

[tacit quiver]

i think people blow the soldered ram issue out of proportion a bit

like sure, it sucks, but how often are you upgrading ram in the first place

[storm narwhal]

I just like the option

Esp if it's way cheaper for an 8gb which I can upgrade for less

[tranquil pebble]

very often with microsoft bloatware existing

[tacit quiver]

so, another solution is switching to linux

ubuntu is a fantastic operating system

[storm narwhal]

That too

Linux is getting very good

For a normal consumer

[tacit quiver]

agreed

[tranquil pebble]

ik I am planning to put Linux on my ROG Ally

[storm narwhal]

A switch to Linux is lingering in the back of my mind

[tranquil pebble]

24H2 bugs are pushing me in that direction too

[tacit quiver]

when i return to the US im debating switching my desktop to Linux. I think Counter Strike 2 can run on Linux now, so that might seal the deal...

[storm narwhal]

Yeah it's just the games I think mostly

[tranquil pebble]

I hear the Ally stands to gain some decent performance increases from Linux

[storm narwhal]

I'm sure Microsoft office equivalents are on Linux

I just gotta find em

[tranquil pebble]

There are

and last I tried, Office itself can run on Wine

[storm narwhal]

Those are probably the main two things I would want

[tacit quiver]

this is why i like MacOS

[storm narwhal]

Maybe one day I'll swap my laptop to Linux

[proud jackal]

maybe one day ill swap to amd

[tacit quiver]

it has the file structure and command line similar to Linux, updates arent intrusive as intrusive like windows, you don't get ads on your desktop, no copilot (yes, apple intelligence is coming, but thats easily disableable without having to muck with a registry editor), and apps like Office are still supported (and I wholeheartedly believe Office for Mac is a better product than Office for Windows)

[craggy shoal]

I also recently got a MacBook just to have a stable laptop with an optimized operating system that will last for years and doesn't come with Candy Crush installed or whatever extra crappy bloatware Windows laptops come with now days

[craggy shoal]

I've now owned all three desktop operating systems lol

[storm narwhal]

The stability does sound pretty good

[tacit quiver]

the 2020 macbook air m1 is a tank

well, not durability wise

but longevity

[storm narwhal]

I haven't owned a Mac since the Intel days

[craggy shoal]

yeah this is what attracted me

[tacit quiver]

it still feels brand new and its going on 5 years old

[storm narwhal]

Maybe ma next laptop

M1 refurbished or used

[craggy shoal]

"but $1000 base price" tell that to your gaming laptop that will heat up so often to the point that you'll end up getting another one in two years anyways lol

[storm narwhal]

Not the air tho

[craggy shoal]

I hate to be that MacOS guy after like two weeks of owning my first MacBook but I'm not wrong lol

[storm narwhal]

Stupid software display limitations

[tranquil pebble]

Z1 Extreme is an amazing CPU ngl

[pliant berry]

the only issue with my m1 air is cuz it has no fan performance can suffer for animation and rendering work

[storm narwhal]

Only thing is my external drive would need to be exfat

[tacit quiver]

@proud jackal make the switch to Mac. join the dark side

[storm narwhal]

Small issue but

Possible? yes. Recommended? Nooooo...

Don't do that

[tranquil pebble]

Switch to Unix System V

[fresh nova]

Desktops strugle with 4K

[tranquil pebble]

1080p to 4k upscaled would probably be fine

[fresh nova]

laptop parts are like what 1/4 the power of their desktop counterparts

[proud jackal]

convince me, but convince me as if you were still working at best buy

[lone mango]

fr

[tranquil pebble]

yeah esp GPUs

[lone mango]

I guess once w10 support ends

[storm narwhal]

Switch to TempleOS

[idle nexus]

well after over a month of messing with it & finally landing on a ProcODT that behaves somewhat predictably, I've now been through 6 hours of VT3/FFTv4 without crashing... I might just be able to go back to my daily again

12900K hasn't been bad but 3080ti just isn't on 4090's level

[tranquil pebble]

tbf 4090 is a league of its own

[idle nexus]

who the heck needs 68.6ohm ProcODT?

[pliant berry]

oh yeah that reminds me... i don't want to go off on a rant but my god the image renderer on windows SUCKS. like it REALLY sucks. Everytime I attempt to edit a photo job on my PC I immediately regret it. It's no wonder why basically the entire creative industry uses mostly macs

[velvet summit]

lmao

[idle nexus]

seriously tho I couldn't get things right at 40, 48, or 53.3ohm

If you love iPhone, you'll love Mac! Apple's latest MacBooks have the longest battery life of any modern laptop. Compared with other manufacturers who say their laptops can achieve full day battery, Apple isn't lying this time! College students love Mac for their lightweight and sleek designs. If you apply for a My Best Buy Credit Card, you could finance the purchase amount over 12 months with no interest! Or, if you'd rather pay in full, you could earn 10% back on your first purcahse which would be around $120 for this Mac, that you could put towards anything else in the store.

I haven't seen anyone in forums using procODT at 68.6

speakers stopped working on my old laptop probably due to constant heat

[fresh nova]

Got you Theo

[idle nexus]

what's weird was with SR a-die it would set 25.x ProcODT

[tacit quiver]

ok BryceGPT

i actually do have a Best Buy Total membership 💀

[fresh nova]

lmao

I hate corporations

[proud jackal]

6400 1:1 would very likely run but I won't get it stable because >6200 1:1 the board ignores my VDDQ settings & won't run lower than 1.44v. Presently, I'm running VDDQ & VDDIO at only 1.25v lol

[tacit quiver]

it actually kind of was worth it because my dishwasher rusted over in the first year of ownership and the warranty covered it

[fresh nova]

Credit card this credit card that, member ship this membership that

blah blah

[tacit quiver]

but i also got an employee discount on the membership soooooo

[fresh nova]

what's their discount 10%

[craggy shoal]

Windows laptop moment

Not to mention that speakers on Windows laptops are never good

[tacit quiver]

it varies per product. their in house brands like Insignia and BestBuy Essentials were like 80%-90% off, whereas brands like Apple were 0% off

[fresh nova]

[tacit quiver]

i got some pretty good deals working there though

got a $400 55" Sony X90J (open box but its been fine)

saved probably around $800-$1000 on appliances

[fresh nova]

I applied 3 times never got hired.

[craggy shoal]

$1000+ Latitude was my daily for a couple years and it's slowed to a crawl. Speakers were never great. Heavy asf. Actually has an 11th i5 (not even that bad of a CPU. Very capable of running Minecraft) and 32GB of memory on an NVMe SSD. This laptop has no excuse to be as slow as it is

[fresh nova]

That was years ago

[tacit quiver]

its ok you're not missing much

[fresh nova]

They have no idea what they missed out on

[craggy shoal]

Welcome to the modern job market

[tacit quiver]

the discount was nice everything else was not

[rancid juniper]

1:1 would probably cease to exist when DDR6 comes out

unless the cpus have another revolutionary design

[fresh nova]

I'd be whipping up some Tech facts in a Best Buy
