Idk maybe it was because I was new to pc and was amused easily

[rancid juniper]

DAMN

[rancid juniper]

same

I was drooling on getting either a GTX 1050ti or RX 580

[nocturne flicker]

Man I really like the just clean metal plate going across it

Simple, not trying to be over the top

[wraith fern]

this is nvidia 8000 basically

[lone mango]

Could be just design and branding too

[wraith fern]

unless im misreading it's power

[rancid juniper]

someone selling the frontier edition

[wraith fern]

oh its not as powerful

yeah i misread specs

[wraith fern]

Anyone know why I'm stuck in the BIOS, no matter what I do I can't get out :(. The PC I bought is also brand new

[proud jackal]

[opaque sedge]

I’m a peasant

[lone mango]

My video hit 10k views this is crazy

[opaque sedge]

Also duck i fell asleep during the day…

Now i’m going to be up all night

[velvet summit]

I assume windows isn't installed

[strong crown]

It was installed, was downloading stuff and then it just crashed and brought me to the BIOS menu

[velvet summit]

Hmm

Then something happened to either the drive or windows install

[velvet summit]

Is the bios listing your boot drive

[strong crown]

sorry idk what that means this is my first gaming pc :/

all i can say is that i’ve tried changing everything and every way to exit and it brings me back

[velvet summit]

do you see something like

depends on the mobo but you should probably see some sort of drive list

[opaque sedge]

I should have went wireless for two of my peripherals

[velvet summit]

dont blame your wired peripherals for your cable mess

you could manage the cables better than this

[opaque sedge]

How

[velvet summit]

cable ties

remove excessive slack where it's not needed

reroute cables to somewhere else

[strong crown]

Looked and I don’t

everything looks in place in the BIOS, i just can’t exit it

[velvet summit]

then that means that your drive for whatever reason isnt being detected
i would probably recommend sending it in for warranty since it's a new pc

[strong crown]

okok

[strong crown]

okay 😔😔

[unreal trail]

[velvet summit]

if you don't want to spend that time, then there is a way to troubleshoot, but idk if the company you bought the prebuilt from would honor the warranty if you go poking around in the pc

[tranquil pebble]

funny band name

[dusk knot]

Enough

What monitor are you getting now?

My god. You're really invested

[wraith fern]

4 monitors

1. biology
2. biology homework
3. family guy
4. drivers ed

best setup and i can not lie

🔥

[dusk knot]

hm

one sec

oh

[storm narwhal]

A really good monitor just to be relegated to a vertical discord monitor...

[dusk knot]

its a good one

[dusk knot]

right

[storm narwhal]

One good one, two okay ones

That's the ticket

[sinful blade]

I just lost all my STUFF IN THE LAVA IN THE NETHER

[dusk knot]

[storm narwhal]

You'll only be looking at one most of the time gaming

You look up or to the side only occasionally to check on stuff

[sinful blade]

I promise you that no one ever is going to look at your setup and be like “oh my GOSH, she has a KTC monitor and a DELL monitor? What a piece of GARBAGE”

[sweet phoenix]

Roomba don't bother with it

[sinful blade]

I’ve said my piece
That’s all I had to say

But do I care? Nuh uh

[sweet phoenix]

I had a 1050p TN monitor for my side monitor until recently lol

[storm narwhal]

Does it work? Yuh huh

[sinful blade]

I’m literally using my 1080p 60Hz tv rn for a monitor lmao

[sweet phoenix]

Now I'm on the aoc mini led with an x27q as my side monitor

[sinful blade]

Actually I think since my other tv broke, I might be at 720p

[storm narwhal]

Mann maybe I should gotten that mini-LED

[dusk knot]

at least they werent enchanted....

[sweet phoenix]

Acer xv275u p3

$190 and great

There's also the new koorui gn10 that's either $270 or $300 on amazon

[storm narwhal]

Too late loll

[sweet phoenix]

240hz

[sinful blade]

No, but I still am upset

[sweet phoenix]

Ah alr

[dusk knot]

i felt that....

[storm narwhal]

Maybe in the next couple years when I get a new monitor

[worn wave]

I would not do 32in 1440p especially if you're trying to fit 3 of them

[storm narwhal]

My sadness is immense

[sweet phoenix]

Nah then it'll be time to go oled

[worn wave]

Stick to 27in

[storm narwhal]

Also 32 inch for triple monitor is huge

[opaque sedge]

Sekiro is scary…

[sweet phoenix]

I will say, HDR looks absolutely amazing on mini LED

[storm narwhal]

32x2

[sweet phoenix]

Hdr400 on my x27q was ok, but i didn't know how good colour's could look

[opaque sedge]

I’ve been stuck at the hirata estate level for the past 18 hours

Good luck managing that lol

[opaque sedge]

Elden ring is so much more forgiving

[sweet phoenix]

Ima play elden ring at some point

When I have a job again

[opaque sedge]

@sweet phoenix what controller do u play with?

[sweet phoenix]

Wait

Controller?

[opaque sedge]

Shadow of the erdtree is a must have

[sweet phoenix]

Is that why I've been having such a horrid time?

[storm narwhal]

You're playing on Keyboard???

[sweet phoenix]

I've been using keeb and mouse

[opaque sedge]

Possibly

[storm narwhal]

You insane person

[sweet phoenix]

I did the same in rocket league lmao

[opaque sedge]

Rocket league…

[sweet phoenix]

I barely played it

[opaque sedge]

Where analog control is a must…

[sweet phoenix]

I have a controller i can use, but i just never play anything on controller anymore

I'm so horrible with it

[storm narwhal]

I think sekiro is one of those must be on controller games

[sweet phoenix]

Last time I played smthn on controller often it was just cause 3 on ps4

Like five years ago

[opaque sedge]

Some controllers have latency even on a wired connection apparently and on a timing focused game like sekiro it can make it difficult

Elden ring and dark souls are the type of games where you become patient but sekiro it seems timing is everything

[storm narwhal]

Sekiro is def timing

[opaque sedge]

Gow 2018 and gow ragnarok have some timing elements too but they were so much more forgiving that you could easily play on kbm

[storm narwhal]

Oh yeah those are basically nothing compared to sekiro

350cd

Its good

Monitor brightness

Officiallt cd/m^2

Anything looks like that in the dark lmao

Its a touch above

It's bright enough for a bright room but direct sunlight is still a bit challenging

3 of those and I could have a nice budget igpu build

[opaque sedge]

I’m tempted to look at guides ngl

[storm narwhal]

You could

[opaque sedge]

But i must not disappoint the great miyazaki and his trial

[storm narwhal]

It is a hard game

[opaque sedge]

Apparently this controller has one of the lowest latency even with its 2.4ghz wireless connection apparently

For 25-30 bucks…

Impressive

[storm narwhal]

8bitdo nice

Gulikit king kong pro 2 also good but it's about the same price as a normal Xbox controller

But better than one

[north crescent]

[wraith fern]

how is this possible

how does bitcoin keep going up

i just dont get iot

i thought after 2022 it was done and it died but no it just keeps climbing

[storm narwhal]

Crypto is built different bro

It uh

[nocturne flicker]

Plus crypto bros are going to be in gov't

[storm narwhal]

Generates its own profit?

[storm narwhal]

I forgot about that

[nocturne flicker]

I wish I could forget it

[storm narwhal]

If they start using crypto as an official currency

I'm dead

China already in essence does that

[nocturne flicker]

That would mean regulating and stabilizing crypto markets, they wouldn't do that, they want to make money remember

[storm narwhal]

Like they have some backing but the value is kinda also up to them to decide

Now that it's all digital

Pretty sure the el salvador government is also buying them up daily

[storm narwhal]

How's Intel grandma guy doing anyway

[sinful blade]

I’ve made $0.22 BABBBYYYYYY

[nocturne flicker]

The El Salvadorian experiment in Bitcoin was a failure. Most of the serious government activity with Bitcoin is in Bhutan

[opaque sedge]

Hey rich guy can you buy me a 5090 when u get one too

[sinful blade]

Sure

[nocturne flicker]

Mostly because they use it as a money factory and nothing else

[storm narwhal]

Bhutan is rolling in money right now probably

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc most of their spending is funded by their cryptofarms

[sinful blade]

Bitcoin has hit a point where it can easily go up, or just crash horrendously

[storm narwhal]

Wow

That's brave

Considering crippling national debt could be tomorrow

[opaque sedge]

No updates yet last one he was regretful

[storm narwhal]

Oh I saw this already lol

Only option stfu

You fool

[opaque sedge]

Imagine if this guy had experienced some amd hardware… he could have been saved like theo

[wraith fern]

what an idiot

out of all the tech giants

he picked the worse

AMD or nvidia would be miles better

nvidia would be the best

[opaque sedge]

I believe amd made some good gains since the time he bought intel to now

[wraith fern]

did he do any research? 💀

its been downhill for 5 years

[nocturne flicker]

Intel was only a good pick when it was down at 19

[storm narwhal]

Intel will succeed guys

[wraith fern]

amd not as good but still positive over a year

[nocturne flicker]

It went up to 24 soon after

[opaque sedge]

He thought he was the bull 😔

[wraith fern]

as i've predicted, nvidia massive gains over a year

[opaque sedge]

He wasn’t even the calf

[wraith fern]

nvidia makes so many chips and theyre tied up in so much government

out of the 3 big tech giants he picked the wrong one LOL

[storm narwhal]

33% chance bro

[wraith fern]

not even a 33% chance dude. just an idiot

[opaque sedge]

Jesus that boy would have been rich had he just equally bought shares of like 4 companies

[wraith fern]

intel's been doing bad all year

[storm narwhal]

He lost that gamble (it was not a gamble)

[nocturne flicker]

Nvidia's massive gains are entirely dependent on insolvent and unprofitable businesses being kept afloat by investors throwing their money into a pit

[wraith fern]

intel and amd are doing well

[storm narwhal]

AI

[wraith fern]

you say that, yet nvidia is not only worth the most but has had the most gains

[nocturne flicker]

I say that because it is true

[opaque sedge]

Lets hope battlemage and druid provides solace to intel grandma’s soul in heaven

[wraith fern]

nvidia is worth 15x as much as amd and 30x as much as intel

and they've had massive gains

[nocturne flicker]

Their gpus have been selling heavy because everyone is trying to get into datacenters for AI

And once the AI bubble pops...

[storm narwhal]

✨AI✨

[wraith fern]

im just saying. the guy is an idiot for shoving it into intel. 24 hours of research and you would've seen theyre losing money

i think that sucks because i dont think intel is inherently a bad company but they've been unlucky recently

[opaque sedge]

24 hrs a 10 minute yt video would have been enough

Bro prolly lost his attention span to tiktok

[wraith fern]

the fact they havent peaked since 2000 shows signs of a falling company

[nocturne flicker]

I would've put it into something reliable with a steady dividend or interest rate, site back and work a low effort, low wage job and chill

[wraith fern]

amd and nvidia are at the highest they've eve been while intel is back at 2011 prices

[wraith fern]

gold or even a bond would be good

S&P 500

just anything

[storm narwhal]

That's what everyone said

[nocturne flicker]

HYSA and chill

[wraith fern]

dude. only 1/100 day traders reliably beat the market and this mf thought putting it all into intel was a good idea

😭

what a bozo

[opaque sedge]

He could have also taken a break for like 6 months and really dove deep into research or relax until he was in a clear state of mind to decide what to do

[nocturne flicker]

Or rather, multiple HYSA in different banks to get maximum federal protection

[storm narwhal]

If he won the lottery he would waste it all

[opaque sedge]

This would have been smart to do if he was unsure of what’s the best move for his money

[storm narwhal]

He'd choose to take it all at once

And lose like 51% to taxes

[wraith fern]

intel stock lost 1/3 of its value since 4 months ago and all the other stocks have had massive gains

[opaque sedge]

If i won the lottery ngl i would prolly move away buy a 1 year lease to an apartment and think deep and hard day by day abt my next steps

[wraith fern]

well the drop was in august but still, why buy on a massive drop? what a bozo lmao

"oh yeah its bound to get better" 💀

[storm narwhal]

Take the money in portions obviously

[opaque sedge]

It would be like those meditation stories abt yogis from hinduism

[nocturne flicker]

If I won the lottery I would buy a tiny home, clear my debt and put the rest into something

[wraith fern]

if you look at all 3 companies before he bought, amd was a bit shaky, but nvidia has steadily been on the rise

so i dont see why he bought intel

[storm narwhal]

I love intel

[wraith fern]

even bitcoin wouldve been better lmao

[storm narwhal]

I must buy intel

Mr Pat Gelsinger would be so happy

[nocturne flicker]

We love Wegg. Buy Wegg now, top rated stock, much value very big ups in future

[wraith fern]

the guy that stepped down last week?

[wraith fern]

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

If they lose nasdaq status a place where a majority of investors in the world are… wouldn’t that be a dire situation?

[wraith fern]

right

unless they lose status before that

[opaque sedge]

Jk idk crap abt company merges

[wraith fern]

i just want to point out that roblox stock is more profitable than intel stock

and amd actually

its peaking though i dont think it'll continue up

[opaque sedge]

Bruh

[wraith fern]

after the roblox stock came out i thought it would never really grow again so i'm surprised to see it keep going up

[opaque sedge]

Does microcenter have a parent company?

[nocturne flicker]

Yes, they get shunted into the OTC market and the OTC market isn't a great place to be

[wraith fern]

micro electronics inc

seems like theyre basically just managing microcenter though and dont have a plethora of other companies

[opaque sedge]

Do they just run microcenters 💀

[wraith fern]

i dont know

most big companies have parent companies

samsung electronics has samsung group, lg electronics has lg corp, sk hynix has sk corp

[opaque sedge]

The market known for fraud and penny stocks…

@opaque sedge dogecoin wouldve been a better investment

way better than nvidia actually

yeah hearing overall it’s really really good

[velvet summit]

In fairness, stuff like airsoft may have melee weapons
Usually prop weapons

Usually though if you were able to sneak up close to the person, you can say "bang" instead of shooting so that it doesn't hurt from the point blank range

If it already hurts from a distance, it's horrible at point blank

[hoary zodiac]

I'm so tempted to build a mechanical keeb

[velvet summit]

Anyways, so yeah, you could use melee weapons in airsoft usually

They'll probably check to make sure it isn't sharp

Oh my god

The power is back

[elfin mural]

acme tram

[mortal grail]

Watching GN in 4K I just realised he's getting gray hairs

[hoary zodiac]

Power is back again (It went out again)

What's up gamers

[mortal grail]

Ima get in ahead of time

Hi Boeing

Also cya later Boeing

[hoary zodiac]

😭

I hate energex

I'm just desperately charging everything with a battery

So if it goes out again at least I can plug my noctua fans into my power bank

[paper verge]

bro ive been in this parking lot

this is the gta parking lot

[storm narwhal]

Seems like it's time to invest in ecoflow-

[hoary zodiac]

my laptop is my ups

I could have my setup on for a couple hours

the problem is really the heat

this time my battery bank was at like 30%

I think it was pretty close to running out when the power came back on

so if it was out the little cooling I had would've been gone

[storm narwhal]

Solar power

Harness the power of the sun

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

does it have enough output to power an induction cooker?

[wary fjord]

Go solar

Then hydro then wind

XD

Renting power bad.. own one xD

[storm narwhal]

Depends on the ecoflow but it can

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[storm narwhal]

Theres some that can do 2600w

With a peak of 3200(?)

[wary fjord]

Dont trust the peak operate below the peak 40% below

Keyboards are like handbags to girls for you

[mortal grail]

I should show you my enter key flying off the keyboard every other time I press it and you'll understand my obsession for change rn

[storm narwhal]

The nerd equivalent of a handbag?

[mortal grail]

Some nerds carry them around in bags

[storm narwhal]

Also what

[mortal grail]

Those are actual nerd handbags

[storm narwhal]

Real

They got the handle and the bag

[mortal grail]

It's happened twice today

[hoary zodiac]

I want like a nice laptop bag

[opaque sedge]

Dafuq

[hoary zodiac]

that I could carry all my stuff in

[storm narwhal]

What do you mean the keycap flies off

[mortal grail]

If I don't press down in the middle the stabs don't hold on

[hoary zodiac]

like

[mortal grail]

Off it goes

[hoary zodiac]

a hybrid laptop and camera bag

[mortal grail]

Wobble wobble

[opaque sedge]

Damn man

[hoary zodiac]

one of these thingies but less bulky

[mortal grail]

I'm getting better at it, if I use two fingers I'm good

[hoary zodiac]

or something like this

I have like one camera so this is way overkill

[mortal grail]

HNNNNNGGG

YO

I kinda dig these caps on this one

Ooooo

Not that I'd pick these, I already am committed

[pliant berry]

I use something like this on a daily basis. I have a shimoda explore v2, very comfortable but can be very tiring. With my cameras, laptop and accessories it weighs like 40lbs and sometimes I could be walking 5-10 miles a day with it

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I'm looking for a lightweight backpack

I don't use my camera that much

plus I only have one so

there are these padded inserts which are quite decent

might go with something like this

[pliant berry]

The shimoda like only just fits 2 cameras and 2 lenses, not too much camera stuff but cameras are heavy lol. There are plenty of smaller ones from peak design or whatever

Ignore the flash stuff

[hoary zodiac]

I guess I'm looking for a compact backpack with a insert for stuff

I'm thinking of putting a lunchbox in there as well as a camera

dual purpose

camera bag slots makes for very good lunchbox inserts

[pliant berry]

Oh yeah some of these bags can be very expensive

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

arm is a lot more efficient when it's properly utilised

Uh the cool rs one?

Or the st i believe

Or the basic crappy one?

[mortal grail]

Haha if only

[opaque sedge]

Are focuses good cars?

Or were in america?

[mortal grail]

If you focus on the good parts yeah

[opaque sedge]

Whats that focus like ford car that’s made in Germany again?

[craggy shoal]

You would think, knowing all of my other hobbies. Nah I just go insane momentarily 💀

[mortal grail]

Ye

[mortal grail]

Tha mo u kno

💫

[craggy shoal]

Mk3 Focus? Only the manual versions (SE, Titanium, ST, and RS are all good. But ONLY the manual versions)

[opaque sedge]

I remember

Its the fiesta

Isn’t that good?

The focus was also engineered in Germany right?

[craggy shoal]

Fiesta too I think? idk about their engine. I know that the 1L Mk3 Focus has timing belt issues. No idea about the Fiesta

[craggy shoal]

I think so

[mortal grail]

Being engineered in Germany ≠ having German quality tho

[opaque sedge]

Icic makes sense

[craggy shoal]

Worse than German quality tbh

[opaque sedge]

I mean look at some bmw cars

And audi

[mortal grail]

If the door closing doesn't sound like closing a tank hatch it's just not German tbh

[craggy shoal]

German moment 💀

[mortal grail]

Gotta have that real "CLUNK" to it ya kno

Felix why are you a microwave

this guy downgraded to a "I am what my pfp is" type of guy

I have the feeling this whole server would freak out if I were to ever change my name and/or pfp

Or maybe not. idk who would care that much to realize that I've rarely ever changed anything 💀

[mortal grail]

I'm good at waving

[storm narwhal]

[mortal grail]

Just change your name and pfp to a jet just to be different for a day or two

Learning computers are how to fix them is a really solid life tool
Get into that type of space, and you can earn some good money

Your first job? Fixing my tv, thanks

[velvet summit]

There are alot of tech disciplines, and you'll never be able to be good at all of them
Which one are you talking about?
Or at you asking about what's useful with learning to interface with a computer? A surprisingly large amount of people still don't know how to use a computer

I don't mean that

I mean a large amount of young people don't know how to use a computer

Or rather a PC, most of them know how to use a phone

[opaque sedge]

Nah computers are easy

[rancid juniper]

Can't believe the switch announcement was 8 years ago

This console getting mega old

[craggy shoal]

speaking of michael reeves, it's been 6 months since the last video once again

[wooden marten]

which menu?

[velvet summit]

reeves isnt anywhere close to waves LMFAO

the ^ menu

[mortal grail]

You wave when you say hi no?

it's always just worked

for me anyways

[mortal grail]

Did you enable it in windows settings

[wooden marten]

yes

[mortal grail]

Interesting, I haven't encountered this

Maybe there's a regedit solution

[wooden marten]

yeah thats what i did

i had to go into command prompt to add it

so unnecessarily complicated just for a battery icon smh

[reef grove]

This guy said he wanted to build a pc before tariffs raised prices but he still payed $150 over msrp for his cpu. Did he get ripped off or are these hard to find? Is it worth it?

[tranquil pebble]

hard to find and he got ripped off

scalped to hell

[nocturne flicker]

Uh, well if the tariff on stuff from Taiwan or where ever AMD packages their cpus before shipping them to the US is about 20% and the price increases 1 for 1 the tariff increase,that would mean he spent about $55 more than the tariff increase

[reef grove]

Cooked

[tranquil pebble]

incinerated

[reef grove]

What’s causing the stock issues?

[nocturne flicker]

Demand I imagine

Intel is in the toilet rn

[tranquil pebble]

high demand for x3d + Intel being Intel

[reef grove]

Is demand really that high or does amd have a manufacturing problem

Ahh

[tranquil pebble]

AMD has never had this much demand before

[reef grove]

Intel cpus are a power draw problem?

[nocturne flicker]

It is literally the top selling CPU

[tranquil pebble]

Look up what happened with Raptor lake... then realize its successor was slower. lol

or something like Ryzen FX

[nocturne flicker]

The power draw wasn't as much a problem as it was that their cpus are literally on par or worse in a lot of situations this gen

[tranquil pebble]

long time

not as long as x3d though

In any case Intel is in the worst spot I think they have ever been in since Ive been around anyways

[dawn tinsel]

otipcibus64.sys can someone tell me how to fix this please

[tranquil pebble]

who knows though, its possible x3d will eventually become standard on all but the low end

[dawn tinsel]

its a driver

idk how to fix this driver otipcibus64.sys its been coming up on my computer fro a couple days now

[sinful blade]

Nothing looks wrong here, right?

Got the red one

[tacit geode]

Better than a gamer chair

was tempted to buy one when it hit $100 for thanksgiving

I got it for like 150 or something

Back when I had my Pontiac

I enjoy my $50 walmart office chair over the $120 "gaming chair" i had before.

[sage sluice]

ive never owned a gaming chair

i dont need to feel like im sitting in an f1 car to feel content

[dusk knot]

You sure?

[sage sluice]

very much so

ive sat in a gaming chair before as well, id rather sumo wrestle godzilla because that would be less painful

[wary fjord]

I just use my bed as my chair

My pc position below my 🛏️ or end of bed?

[worthy tapir]

Any chair is a gaming chair if you are gaming in it i guess

[sage sluice]

i never wanna go back

lawn chair was an upgrade

[dusk knot]

💀

[misty sparrow]

I use a stool as my chair

really want to get an office chair someday but not really sure what makes a chair great

[sage sluice]

good lumbar, better quality materials typically help, good adjustability, good customer service and warranties, good value

the issue a lot of the time however is value

sure id love to grab a herman miller or steelcase, but i dont have a ton of money to throw around like pixie dust

[misty sparrow]

oh right, if i do get an office chair i hope it doesnt have that fake leather that peels

it's happening to my arctis 1 wireless

[sage sluice]

just get cloth

leather is awful most the time

id also recommend buying used higher quality chairs 90% of the time

[misty sparrow]

-# and this would be a case that i wish i had facebook marketplace or craigslist listings near me

[sage sluice]

yeah that would help lol

[misty sparrow]

people say that there's great deals on there

but there is nothing near me within 200 miles for anything

[sage sluice]

can be

[nocturne flicker]

I don't sit when using pc

[sage sluice]

rn its one of the more inflated used markets due to everyone knowing its good value, so not the worst time to buy used honestly

[nocturne flicker]

[velvet summit]

Same
But for literally anything

No computer deals

No chair deals

[sage sluice]

raised desk?

[velvet summit]

No desk deals

Well, not 200 miles

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/you-look-lonely-gif-11874538886035131125

[velvet summit]

But like a reasonable distance

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, lazy af and back problems when sitting at computer desk. I just put monitor on bed and lay down

[velvet summit]

Like a distance that doesn't end up costing more in gas to get than the deal is worth

[sage sluice]

i used to do that lol

but a good chair helps a lot

im just broke

[misty sparrow]

would be nice to have one of those cars that does 600 mileage per full tank

i wonder if something like that exists

probably electric cars or something

[velvet summit]

Expensive

[nocturne flicker]

My problem is sitting posture. I sit in a chair for work almost 8 hours a day too so I don't want to go home just to sit in a chair again

[velvet summit]

I looked at used hybrids and such

[sage sluice]

a good chair helps with posture too

[sage sluice]

hybrids should honestly be the next step in car manufacturing

i think both gas and electric are in a rough spot

[velvet summit]

Like 40% less fuel usage compared to full ICE that we currently have but can't afford it

[misty sparrow]

try getting up for a few minutes once per hour to stay active a bit

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, it is specifically the posture I take when I used a PC while sitting, the chair I use at work is pretty much the same chair I have at home and the one at work doesn't cause posture issues

[misty sparrow]

those hybrids seem pretty cool for relatively short distances, you just start the car silently and go a trip without wasting any gasoline

[velvet summit]

Depends on the type of hybrid

[sage sluice]

but then you have the option for gas with longer trips too

[velvet summit]

There are like 6 different types of hybrid designs

[sage sluice]

i think the most common design is lower speed = electric higher = gas

thats what i understand

[velvet summit]

Anywhere from electric motor for a small amount of energy recovery to range extender ev

[sage sluice]

i dunno enough about cars lol

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[sage sluice]

the one thing i did awful on the ASVAB with

[misty sparrow]

i only know of two hybrid designs

one hybrid design is where you can actually charge the battery with a charger and have gasoline

[velvet summit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle

[misty sparrow]

the other is where driving on gas charges the battery itself, you can't charge it manually

[nocturne flicker]

I wan EV but they might be getting rid of the EV credit

[velvet summit]

That is kinda one subtype of hybrid, plug in hybrids and the kind that doesn't plug in

[misty sparrow]

i probably don't need a new car for another decade anyway with how I drive

i barely even get 4K miles a year

i'm currently on 78K mileage from a handmedown

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[sage sluice]

my car has 240k miles 😨

[misty sparrow]

so when time passes a decade when i eventually do need a new car, the technology will probably have evolved good enough to where the miles you can drive on a full tank is high

[sage sluice]

old chrysler

[velvet summit]

Maybe solid state or some other battery tech would come out bringing battery costs down enough for a full EV to be worth it

[sage sluice]

i believe the tech will exist, but i dont think we'll have full access cus oooo moolah for the big companys woo!!

[misty sparrow]

i wonder how that hydrogen tech is doing for cars, toyotas been working on that

it probably wont take off though

One of the main reasons why EVs are so expensive currently is because it needs rare earth metals

[misty sparrow]

lithium?

[nocturne flicker]

Being used as makeshift bombs in Ukraine

[velvet summit]

Yes

[sage sluice]

a big issue i have with the US is negative public transportation across 90% of it

actually more like 99%

[misty sparrow]

with the way lithium is harvested and turned into car batteries, when you buy an EV with no mileage you'd already start with a lot of pollution from the getgo compared to how gas cars are produced

[worthy meteor]

There's quite a lot of hydrogen fuel cell buses now

[misty sparrow]

i hope i'm not stupid for wondering if there will eventually be a better more sustainable material for batteries besides lithium

[velvet summit]

Terribly

Because theres not enough hydrogen stations

[misty sparrow]

-# to be fair there's no electric car chargers in my location in public areas

[worthy meteor]

Yea it's only really viable for public transit rn since they can make their own infrastructure for their own vehicles

[velvet summit]

For busses it's fine because they can put hydrogen stations at like the terminal stations or whatever

They are supposed to be doing something with graphene. Eventually

[misty sparrow]

the material used in pencils?

i wonder how they're going to do that

[velvet summit]

Slight difference, but yeah
Graphite is used in pencils, but graphine is a single layer of carbon atoms
