[hoary zodiac]

it's still an nzxt product

[fresh timber]

the nzxt discord was in shambles

the mods kept defending the practice

[mortal grail]

Vex how many times have you run into the iCue not detecting ram issue

[hoary zodiac]

corsair vengeance are quite possibly

[fresh timber]

My ulgy ram

[hoary zodiac]

the worst ram kits on the market

[fresh timber]

i have a secrete, i didnt install icue

[hoary zodiac]

they have a high DOA rate

and those that do work

[mortal grail]

Oh you used that 3rd party github?

[hoary zodiac]

in the future try to avoid buying vengeance

[mortal grail]

I'll be even happier if you just used like openrgb

[fresh timber]

i just use nothing, i set the hardware profile to white and uninstalled icue

[mortal grail]

Based af

[hoary zodiac]

ah yes

RGB with actual taste

instead of rainbow puke

[mortal grail]

See what you see here

[hoary zodiac]

refined gentlemen

[mortal grail]

Is a man who bought into a scam

And dug himself back into normality

The ferrari that wasn't a ferrari, now a mazda with a rotary

[fresh timber]

i only do single colors

[mortal grail]

A coat that shrank, and turned into a scarf

[fresh timber]

man

dont u hate when u want to upgrade ur pc but pc is too expensive to upgrade for cheap

[hoary zodiac]

what is your opinion on the following products:
corsair vengeance
nzxt cases
asus motherboards

[mortal grail]

Like every pc I own

Lol

[fresh timber]

i use an asus motherboard

[hoary zodiac]

which one

[fresh timber]

only pc i can upgrad for cheap is my server

[mortal grail]

Hey take that last one out

[fresh timber]

z790 tuf d4 wifi

[hoary zodiac]

eh

not the overpriced one

[fresh timber]

i like it

it owrks

[worn wave]

1. bad
2. some terrible some alright
3. I have an Asus mobo but it's a weird corporate model

[fresh timber]

4 nvme slots, gen 5 slot for my future gen 5 gpu, 4 sata ports

[hoary zodiac]

at least you don't buy into the $500 ROG boards

[mortal grail]

The whole chat is using asus motherboards

Even the laptop dude

[hoary zodiac]

ok to be fair I'm using an asus laptop

[worn wave]

My other motherboard is Asrock 😍

[hoary zodiac]

so I'm a hypocrite

[mortal grail]

Ya you have an asus motherboard

Lmao

[fresh timber]

i disabled armory crate in my bios

[hoary zodiac]

ok what I meant is

overpriced asus rog strix motherboards

[nocturne flicker]

That was a 4 screened LED monitor with projectors slapped together

[mortal grail]

Ok these can die in a hole

[hoary zodiac]

like

why do people buy them

[fresh timber]

overclocking, they look cool

[hoary zodiac]

asus themselves makes similar boards for half the price

[fresh timber]

same reason people buy sports cars

[hoary zodiac]

they're not better tho

[mortal grail]

Prime motherboards with money spent on aesthetics

[hoary zodiac]

that's the thing

they just have the ROG branding

[mortal grail]

Well, prime but also mild upticks in a couple areas

[hoary zodiac]

prime is...

hit or miss

[mortal grail]

But next to the equivalent asrock for half the price

[rancid juniper]

good tips?

[hoary zodiac]

low end is extremely meh

[fresh timber]

somebody remind me later that if i sold my server i could afford new gpu

[mortal grail]

It's just sad

[hoary zodiac]

mid range-high end is decent

[fresh timber]

bad tips , upgrade when u need to

[hoary zodiac]

don't make any impulsive purchases

[rancid juniper]

i upgrade when my pc stops working

[hoary zodiac]

that's how you can afford stuff

optimise your upgrades for value

don't upgrade because you want to

upgrade because you need to

[fresh timber]

thats why i return my impusles

[mortal grail]

Low end is basically worse than bad now

[hoary zodiac]

yikes

worse than gigabyte?

[rancid juniper]

lol

[mortal grail]

B650 primes are amongst the worst motherboards of am5

Period

[hoary zodiac]

Gigabyte is actually pretty solid in the mid range these days

[fresh timber]

i want 4080, my wallet says 4060

[hoary zodiac]

low end primes are always dog water

[mortal grail]

How about 2080ti

[fresh timber]

does my wallet say 2080ti

[hoary zodiac]

this is why

don't buy a 4060

it's quite possibly one of the worst value gpus on the market nr

[mortal grail]

If it says 4060 it says 2080Ti

[fresh timber]

valid

then yes it does

[fresh timber]

4060 arro

[hoary zodiac]

2080ti is probably cheaper too

[mortal grail]

2080ti likely is yes

[fresh timber]

best gpu

[hoary zodiac]

white

even worse

value goes down the drain

[fresh timber]

my frind has one, pretty gpu

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's not even the fact that it's white

[mortal grail]

I bet that thing runs at -5°C cos it just can and gigabyte doesn't care

[hoary zodiac]

It's more the fact that you'd pay for white a gpu that's already bad value

[fresh timber]

you know some people just want pretty gpus

and pcs

[hoary zodiac]

yeah but

there are better gpus for the same price

that's also white

[mortal grail]

White 2080ti is nice

[fresh timber]

im saving my money

[hoary zodiac]

wh

it's... cheaper

[mortal grail]

Lol

I mean your call what you pick

[fresh timber]

might buy storage for my server but thats cheap

[mortal grail]

I'm dead set in my old ways tho

[hoary zodiac]

I don't get it

i truly don't

[lone mango]

3 fan 4060 kinda funny ngl

That thing uses like 110w

[mortal grail]

Ikr

It has a cooler for nearly 250W

Lol

[lone mango]

100-110

[mortal grail]

Or actually bit more like 200W

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

But tdp is low af

They do this a lot lately

I think they know it sells

The shroud is standardised

And there's minor changes between low to mid range

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126854952581?_skw=rtx+2080+ti+white&epid=4030517026

this is around 4060 price

[lone mango]

Yeah I mean you can stay within your budget and fill in the case

[mortal grail]

Faster too

[lone mango]

Good for fellas that buy for aesthetics

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

and more vram

[mortal grail]

And RT that actually kind of works

[fresh timber]

i love vram

[hoary zodiac]

please

do not get a 4060

there are plenty of better options

[mortal grail]

60 class rtx cards are a massive pass up if you're looking for nvidia benefits

3060 12gb is the only exception for entry level workstation

[hoary zodiac]

does 3070 outperform the 4060?

[mortal grail]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256754513113?_skw=3070+white&epid=13040742181

[mortal grail]

3070's also go stupid cheap

[hoary zodiac]

mid price

[mortal grail]

Like $200-ish

[hoary zodiac]

white tax

[mortal grail]

The irony being that the 4060 would be more competitive were it not for the comical bit bus

[hoary zodiac]

it's not even competitive on the used market

that's the funny thing

[fresh timber]

a310, best lp gpu ever

[mortal grail]

Anyway the real meta is 5700XT

[hoary zodiac]

?

[hoary zodiac]

ayy my old gpu

[mortal grail]

$120 and you're trading blows up until the 3060 point

I still want to try 5700XT

[hoary zodiac]

no RT but

who cares

[mortal grail]

RT is a meme below a 3080

[fresh timber]

ill care about rt when my gpu can rt

[hoary zodiac]

why does the 2060 exist again

[mortal grail]

Like even a 2080Ti as I said before, it kinda works

3070 kinda works

But they're barely decent

[hoary zodiac]

3070 mobile?

[mortal grail]

Nope

[hoary zodiac]

figures

I only needed the vram for vr

which...

I don't play

I really should reinstall windows

so I could play vr

[fresh timber]

linux vr

[hoary zodiac]

does that even work

getting steamvr to run is one thing

but getting individual games to run

[mortal grail]

Gold

[hoary zodiac]

god damn

proton's gotten a lot better

even flight sim works

arma 3 too?

not a vr title but still

those were my "windows titles"

ok

guess I can purge my ntfs partitions now

[mortal grail]

Boeing about to spend 20 minutes typing his games together

[fresh timber]

i need more nvmes

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

are those all 1TB

[hoary zodiac]

free real estate

[fresh timber]

no

[lone mango]

fr

[fresh timber]

let sjust say i could fit all my storage on a single nvme

[lone mango]

All of my drives are 1tb

Kinda brutal

[hoary zodiac]

I have a 1TB and a 4TB

laptops have their constraints

[fresh timber]

1tb + 512 +512

[hoary zodiac]

wha...

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

💀

you don't need more nvmes you need to get one bigger nvme

[fresh timber]

yall dont salvage nvmes from old laptops?

[hoary zodiac]

I value my data

[lone mango]

My third drive is a spare that i repurposed into video storage

[fresh timber]

thats what my single barracuda nas does

[lone mango]

So prior to that I had two 1tb drives which is ok

not like I bought a third 1tb that would be kinda funny

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

WHY DO NEW DRIVES COST SO MUCH

[hoary zodiac]

I kinda wanna get an nvme for my minipc

[hoary zodiac]

inflation

they shouldn't cost that much

[fresh timber]

i love my self some ebay hgst drives

[hoary zodiac]

even brand new

yeah they're not nas drives

[frigid stag]

Wd are cheaper

[hoary zodiac]

you can also shuck WD drives

[fresh timber]

https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/manufacturer-recertified-drives do yal selfs a favor

[hoary zodiac]

you'd have to tape mod them tho

[lone mango]

I remember going through two seagates in one year

[frigid stag]

I mean technically true

I was correct by 5 dollars

[fresh timber]

recertified drives are love

[mortal grail]

Why y'all linking seagates

Seagates have the highest failure rate of all HDDs

[fresh timber]

segate aint recommended in homelab

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not linking seagates

[nocturne flicker]

When I hear tape mod I imagine tapping two hard drives like jungle mags and hot swapping between them

[fresh timber]

non of those are worth

[frigid stag]

Same with what I’ve heard from most people “avoid sea gate”

WD better

And toshiba too

[hoary zodiac]

ehhhhh

[fresh timber]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/226346086359?_skw=12tb+hdd&itmmeta=01JGQC184RXDVET3XNR0K822GY&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnrLhfSCNakBRNphSHXywqrRcUOWmupp5BjqI52cyujsBMOhsIIo3sqx5czFMuMN3GANma3HQj9gTshoyHWmN3OCCdYgi6CwybiAg3Dc9lsuHoenffelWlmoij%2ByO06BoLd60tGvDn5tFbZObSr%2BYOwd32QgWjOlMf0FITRxPF71hm%2FIIYe6WSEUPScoPhM1Jju8FQlq4nLJ8iHeime%2Fs3OJq33oFqH%2FDqKJEhk4ZMADZU7etsKNrixOLG5FTKNvpR1GHluLWv5dqrOQZIrhKRd|tkp%3ABFBMwIKF7IVl

[mortal grail]

Toshiba over both

[fresh timber]

this drive solors all

[hoary zodiac]

external drives costs more atm

damn

[frigid stag]

True

[hoary zodiac]

are they more reliable?

[mortal grail]

Yes and more affordable

[hoary zodiac]

wait

HOLY

[frigid stag]

Like what’s the difference between wd red plus and pro 💀

[hoary zodiac]

8TBs better value

wtf

[mortal grail]

From super meh to super decent

[fresh timber]

rumor has it these are very good nvmes

[frigid stag]

Are the red plus any good

[mortal grail]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

these any good?

[mortal grail]

Those are iirc

[fresh timber]

their enterprise

[hoary zodiac]

costs more than the WD elements tbh

[mortal grail]

Like the equivalent to a evo 960 iirc

[fresh timber]

people should use ebay ALOT more, they could get a good pc

[mortal grail]

Or a flat 970

One or the other

[hoary zodiac]

WD Elements is $149.99

still the cheapest decent nas drive around

[mortal grail]

The samsung pm drives are good

[fresh timber]

way better probably, its endurance

[hoary zodiac]

if you shuck them

[mortal grail]

I have a couple

They're alright

[fresh timber]

i have the urge to rotat my monitors

brb

[mortal grail]

My old laptop shipped with 2 in raid 0

Pm963 tho iirc

Not sure if 983

But the pm sticks are good

[hoary zodiac]

I mean he's using them for nas so

[fresh timber]

ima rotate monitor 2 cause im bored

[mortal grail]

Every class in WD's lineup imply different uses

[hoary zodiac]

NOO

CLIPBOARD

[mortal grail]

Red is like continuous operation and recording iirc

[hoary zodiac]

cheapest 8TBs so far

[lone mango]

Bro thats wild

[hoary zodiac]

clipboards strikes again

sigh

oh wait

[mortal grail]

Boeing is struggling

[hoary zodiac]

they're the same price as the red plus

$149.99 for WD Red Plus
$149.99 for WD Elements

[mortal grail]

Yeah cos you buy used or refurbished toshiba

[hoary zodiac]

they're practically the same right?

the elements are just OEM reds?

[mortal grail]

Red plus isn't too bad iirc

[fresh timber]

yall wanna see my current nas storage

[mortal grail]

But used or refurbished toshiba is op

X200's >>>>>

[lone mango]

I dont even have a nas

[hoary zodiac]

I have a nas that's begging to be reconfigured

it's also running on haswell

[mortal grail]

I wanna know who the person dressed like it's the 80's is sayin'

[hoary zodiac]

HASWELL IS KING

LONG LIVE HASWELL

SKYLAKE IS POO POO

[hoary zodiac]

is that blocking the airflow

[fresh timber]

old photo

[hoary zodiac]

oh wait bottom intake

[fresh timber]

[mortal grail]

I love how you zoom in and you just see the kingston face in the darkness

[fresh timber]

ill take new photo hold up

[hoary zodiac]

please don't tell me that's an a400

[mortal grail]

I'm glad cos kingston man looks placed in attack position and after my life points

[fresh timber]

The tiny hdd is unplugged

[mortal grail]

C

[fresh timber]

It hit the integer limit for reallocated sectors

[mortal grail]

How many damn tests did you run on that thing

Lmao

[fresh timber]

Non, smart data

It’s cooked

[mortal grail]

Sadge

I uh

I, C

[hoary zodiac]

average seagate

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

my barracuda 2TB failed after a couple years

never buy seagate gentlemen

[fresh timber]

i need new hdd

[hoary zodiac]

do not buy a seagate

[velvet summit]

oh.

this is only part 1

[fresh timber]

so happy i didnt buy it

[hoary zodiac]

do not, under any circumstance, purchase a new seagate drive

[mortal grail]

You won't make me ask

[hoary zodiac]

they're like kingston a400s

they will die on you

[fresh timber]

umm

a400

speaking of a400

[hoary zodiac]

do you have one

[fresh timber]

thats umm. my server boots off that

[hoary zodiac]

💀

[fresh timber]

i got it for cheap

[hoary zodiac]

do you know why you got it for cheap?

[fresh timber]

it wasnt used and my frien ddidnt want it

[hoary zodiac]

you know why he didn't want it???

[fresh timber]

cause he had no use for it

thats why

amazon sent him it and he didnt order it

[hoary zodiac]

they also happen to be quite literally some of the worst sata ssds you can dind

[mortal grail]

I'll take the a400

[hoary zodiac]

the adata SU800 is better

[fresh timber]

excatly

[velvet summit]

chat this is why you have a redundant boot drive on servers

[fresh timber]

who woudlnt take a free less than $20 ssd

$20 is free

i also got a motherboard with that deal, my current motherboard in my server

[hoary zodiac]

this is girl math

[fresh timber]

like the psu

[hoary zodiac]

does it say toughpower

or smart

[mortal grail]

Wtf is that a 6600

[fresh timber]

it says smart

[hoary zodiac]

wait

...

[fresh timber]

indeed

[mortal grail]

LOL

[hoary zodiac]

is that single channel?

what is that computer?????????

[fresh timber]

theirs two sticks

ones black ones red

[hoary zodiac]

this is actually painful to look at

[mortal grail]

I see smart white ima head out

[hoary zodiac]

bye

I'm gonna go get a drink

this is too much

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/ight-imma-head-out-spongebob-imma-head-out-ima-head-out-gif-14902967

[fresh timber]

i build this pc with my scraps

[mortal grail]

That pc gonna pop one day

[fresh timber]

i know

[hoary zodiac]

I'd take the 6600 out and replace it with a 710

[fresh timber]

710

worthless

get a310

[hoary zodiac]

EXACTLY

IT'S WORTHLESS

so if it blows up you don't lose a 6600

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

i dont really care ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mortal grail]

#building-and-recc-chat read up we literally had someone lose their entire pc to one just an hour ago

[rancid juniper]

What

[fresh timber]

damn

[hoary zodiac]

a thermaltake smart is a very terrible choice

especially for a server

[fresh timber]

yes

[rancid juniper]

That's not very smart

[fresh timber]

give me

5 years

[hoary zodiac]

I'd swap out the 6600 anyways for lower loads

[fresh timber]

for a new filter

it was the only quiet psu i had and i really didnt give a flippy flap

[mortal grail]

Literally anything else is better

That's a fire hazard

[hoary zodiac]

please do not entrust valuable data to a thermaltake smart

[mortal grail]

And I don't say that often

[fresh timber]

wanna buy me a new one

[mortal grail]

You returned your legion go, you can afford it

[fresh timber]

oo can i daisy chain my current psu to it

850w can def handel two pcs right

[rancid juniper]

People when cheaping out on PSUs more than the rest of the parts

[hoary zodiac]

you can blow up two pcs

[fresh timber]

oo

kaboom boom

[hoary zodiac]

you can also sell the 6600

[fresh timber]

nah

ima keep it

[hoary zodiac]

and get a crappy display adapter and a psu

[fresh timber]

theirs one reason theirs a6600 in their

my girlfriend plays knight gameover parsec

[rancid juniper]

RX 6600, the card that sips little to nothing

[hoary zodiac]

so it's actually gaming?

please replace the psu

[fresh timber]

yuh,

[fresh timber]

pay for it

[rancid juniper]

Gambling*

That's why the PSU blew up

[fresh timber]

the psu stays until kaboom

[hoary zodiac]

you do realise

you'll be losing a couple hundred dollars worth of parts

[fresh timber]

mhm

very aware that this is a poory rated and bad psu

[hoary zodiac]

I don't understand how someone can have disposable income and cheap out at the same time

[opaque sedge]

Lemme guess ur also not using a surge protector

[fresh timber]

umm

[mortal grail]

I don't think anyone is thinking quite literal enough

This psu is an actual fire hazard

Forget several hundred dollars

[fresh timber]

all my stuff is conencted to two surge protectors, my consoles and networkig on one, all my computers on another

[mortal grail]

Try your home

[hoary zodiac]

what do you mean

[mortal grail]

One short and it's still game over

[hoary zodiac]

are they daisy chained power strips?

[fresh timber]

you realise i have no intrest in swapping my psu ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fresh timber]

no diffrent wall warts

[hoary zodiac]

there's that at least

[opaque sedge]

Is it from temu or smth 💀

[fresh timber]

yeah im not stupid abt that

im not funna daisychain

[hoary zodiac]

one less fire hazard

[mortal grail]

It may as well be it's one of the worst psus ever made

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-coming-bro-panda-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-13348070046602648641

[fresh timber]

Electricity anyone

[fresh timber]

im bored, ima reas of 16 hours ago, yes

[hoary zodiac]

on a thermaltake smart...

alright

[fresh timber]

has anybody even documented them going kaboom

[opaque sedge]

Oh man

[hoary zodiac]

many

including one that happened in #building-and-recc-chat a couple hours ago

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-gamers-nexus-pc-bomb-planted-gif-22845602

[hoary zodiac]

power supplies do not just randomly blow up

[opaque sedge]

Btw what happened to the dude who was tryna get high end monitors from auctions?

Was he successful?

[hoary zodiac]

he got assassinated

[opaque sedge]

Lol

[hoary zodiac]

E tier

F tier

[opaque sedge]

Thermaltake? More like thermalgive

[hoary zodiac]

that is a good power supply

[fresh timber]

it gets a bit loud underload but its fine

quiter than my old psu

[opaque sedge]

Noise reminds me my fans are quite a bit loud nowadays

[fresh timber]

[hoary zodiac]

do you still have it?

is it a spare?

[fresh timber]

somewheer, and no im not swapping it

its too loud

[hoary zodiac]

you know what's louder?

a literal fire

[fresh timber]

ok ¯_(ツ)_/¯

the smart gets replaced when i get another cheap psu to replace it

And the p-gm had a great demo of what the second time looks lik

Except that one saves or tried to save components

[tranquil pebble]

Logitech wheel controller vs Linux... Linux recognized it instantly

[hoary zodiac]

Linux's pretty good with controllers actually

[tranquil pebble]

Linux gaming has become very very real

[fresh timber]

it has

[hoary zodiac]

input devices are usually the easy part

at most you configure the input manually

[tranquil pebble]

Linux is amazing when you have no driver problems lol

[hoary zodiac]

damn

has it not been long enough yet?

[rancid juniper]

around 289mph tops

[hoary zodiac]

10 more years

[nocturne flicker]

Doctor Who is 60 years old and their stories have a variety of copyright rules

[hoary zodiac]

Star Trek will be public domain soon

in a decade

[rancid juniper]

Lmfao

[rancid juniper]

Tintin and Popeye already gonna get horror slop

[fresh timber]

My calendar

[nocturne flicker]

BBC used to be required to give freelancers and contractors the rights to the stories or something

[hoary zodiac]

BBC also go out with a van to ask people to pay the telly license

[fresh timber]

BBC is an odd name for a news company

[fresh timber]

I heard some people got fined for gaming monitors or TVs only hooked up to the internet

[hoary zodiac]

you know how you deal with it

if they knock at your door

tell them to go away

they legally can't do anything if you don't let them in

[fresh timber]

Do you have a warrant sir?

you don’t? Bye bye

[nocturne flicker]

The first story of Doctor Who is legally owned by the son of the script writer. Who is a jerk

[mortal grail]

Oh wow I missed this vid
https://youtu.be/SMn2F2wx1LM

[fresh timber]

I’m pretty sure your suppose to have a tv license if you even watch bbc on sites like YouTube

Quick fellow Americans let’s watch the bbc to stick it to them

[hoary zodiac]

the BBC doesn't have anything good these days

nobody has anything good these days

[fresh timber]

Fr

I’m bored of life rn, I need to spice it up

[hoary zodiac]

it will soon...

you won't even expect it

[nocturne flicker]

I think the BBC may be posting the Doctor Who episodes just for Americans, I saw a couple of posts on reddit about it not being viewable in the Commonwealth

[hoary zodiac]

maybe they're trying to get them to watch the new show

marketing stunt

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, it isn't doing too well is it? And it is being distributed by Disney here now innit?

[hoary zodiac]

The BBC really can just make slop who episodes but we don't get a Babylon 5 reboot

different network but still

[hoary zodiac]

bad writing

it's always bad writing

networks are squeezing every cent out of existing ips

with no thought or effort put into them

also doesn't help that the writers keep striking because they don't get paid properly

so you're left with slop

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, new Doctor Who didn't always have the best writing to begin with did it

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

they were at least watchable until they switched producers

[fresh timber]

ima hate my self

[hoary zodiac]

surely it's cheaper in upkeep just to give them a yard

if you can afford to have that many chickens

you can afford the land

• land value goes up

and doesn't need that much upkeep

[fresh timber]

waht if ur chicken was raised on vr

they only saw vr

[hoary zodiac]

that is physically not possible

[nocturne flicker]

The chicken thing was a social experiment by a Uni professor

[fresh timber]

put the helment on them the second their born

from egg

[hoary zodiac]

do you know how heavy the equipment is

[fresh timber]

yes

[nocturne flicker]

[proud jackal]

What rank are you

I'm hard stuck gold 3

[fresh timber]

unranked

[hoary zodiac]

the billionaires thing just reminds me of that one star trek episode

[fresh timber]

i forget hwo much fps this game gives

im at 500

[hoary zodiac]

where barclay won't come out of the holodeck

[proud jackal]

Play ranked

Then the real suffering begins

[fresh timber]

but i dont hate my self

[proud jackal]

[hoary zodiac]

TV is a self fulfilling prophecy

[nocturne flicker]

Also, one of the points of the Chicken VR experiment was to see if they could apparently make free range animal raising more humane for the chickens

[hoary zodiac]

it's not tho

some "free range" people pack them in a shed

they have one square meter

free range

best way to raise free range chicken is to give them an acre of land

[fresh timber]

do they taste better

[hoary zodiac]

the coops themselves can be less spacious

still should be comfortable for the chickens

chickens like to dig holes to cool off in the summer

and like VR doesn't help with that

[fresh timber]

give them a fan

[nocturne flicker]

Actually, the wording on that article is bad, the experiment was partially to see if non-free range chickens could be treated more humanely by giving them the perception of free range living while being confined in factory farms

And to make people talk about how bad factory farms are

[hoary zodiac]

ah yes

average journalist moment

[frigid stag]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

[hoary zodiac]

chickens lay more when they're happy so

I don't get factory farms in general

[frigid stag]

Gotta shill the lab grown meat somehow

[hoary zodiac]

in terms of efficiency they're not that much better

higher upstart cost

[velvet summit]

saddest day of my life frfr no cap

[hoary zodiac]

free range can be pretty crammed too

like this is technically free range

[nocturne flicker]

Also, the experiment never actually went anywhere because it was mostly just a tongue in cheek VR headset design they drew up

[tranquil pebble]

6900xt was a godzilla size upgrade over 5700xt... literally doubled my FPS in most games

[hoary zodiac]

still miles better than factory farming

[nocturne flicker]

Apparently the professor drew up the design 10 years ago and made the simulator and that was it

[unreal trail]

I have chickens in my back yard

[hoary zodiac]

chickens are great

[tranquil pebble]

they move funny ngl

[hoary zodiac]

you can feed them leftovers and they're a net gain

[unreal trail]

I throw a bag full of grass to t hem when I mow my grass

[hoary zodiac]

they're really good at saving money

[hoary zodiac]

they eat that too?

[unreal trail]

yes

[hoary zodiac]

oh damn

huge cost savings

how many do you have?

[unreal trail]

they are also better at hunting mice than cats

[hoary zodiac]

the best part about chickens is that you don't even need that many to be profitable

[unreal trail]

I had about 8

[hoary zodiac]

that should be enough to have a stockpile right?

[unreal trail]

yeah its plenty

[hoary zodiac]

chickens lay crazy

[unreal trail]

cleaning the coop is a mess

[hoary zodiac]

worth it for the eggs

whenever I see a cracked egg I just chuck it on the floor and they gobble it up

[unreal trail]

one of my chickens laying eggs the size of duck eggs

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

only problem is that they hate laying when it's wet or cold

[unreal trail]

sometimes I make egg fried rice for them as a boost

[hoary zodiac]

but they usually lay a lot in the warmer months anyways

so that usually makes up

[unreal trail]

well they lay less when there's less daylight

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I kinda wanna make a meal for the chickens when I move out

chickens are great pets

[rancid juniper]

chickens were alright as pets

[unreal trail]

chickens are decent people

give them a roost and some hay and they're set

[hoary zodiac]

imagine if they're all roosters

that'd be annoying

[rancid juniper]

Bro would be mad fuming in the morning

[hoary zodiac]

0-1 roosters maximum

[rancid juniper]

😂

[hoary zodiac]

there's this one rooster that won't shut up

every hour of the day

and sometimes at 3 in the morning

we got 3 roosters aod they do not get along

roosters are a pain in the ass

[rancid juniper]

Main goal is to be as annoying as possible

Maybe they're begging to be eaten

Idk

[hoary zodiac]

they're more useful as meat tbh

well they are useful if you want to hatch your eggs

otherwise they're quite literally useless

[unreal trail]

you basically only need 1 rooster per coop

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[unreal trail]

otherwise it'll get bloody

[hoary zodiac]

and the noise too

one rooster is annoying enough

[tranquil pebble]

noise bird

[unreal trail]

they start by trying to out crow each other

[rancid juniper]

What

[unreal trail]

then they fight over the hens

[hoary zodiac]

see we have 3 roosters

one is a big one

and the other two are midget ones

one of the midget one humps the ducks

[unreal trail]

lol

[rancid juniper]

Wtf

[hoary zodiac]

the other one is almost impossible to catch if I let him out of the coop

[hoary zodiac]

this is why you don't have more than 1 rooster

[rancid juniper]

Noted ig

[hoary zodiac]

they develop issues

[unreal trail]

if youre gonna have two roosters, divide your hens into two coops

[rancid juniper]

Two factions

👀

[hoary zodiac]

rooster gang warfare

[rancid juniper]

Eggshell grenades

[hoary zodiac]

we used to have 5 roosters

[rancid juniper]

The cluck of terror

[hoary zodiac]

when I pet them I always get blood on my hands

they're either fighting or crowing

[rancid juniper]

I had one rooster chasing me down years ago

...

[hoary zodiac]

you can kick it

they're not that intimidating

geese is way worse

[rancid juniper]

Ik

Geese are probably kings of pettiness

[hoary zodiac]

they can ruin entire businesses

[hoary zodiac]

this is a troll but still

[tranquil pebble]

just enough exp for me to level up

[fresh timber]

i forgot how long valorant matches are

😭

[velvet summit]

self fulfilling prophecy

[gleaming rivet]

I had 2 geese. Frank and Peanut. They were my guard dogs. Nobody could come onto the property without me knowing and without them having some sort of welts on their legs 🤣

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/chill-guy-my-new-character-gif-2777893510283028272

[hoary zodiac]

you know the old "stay off my property" trope?

that'd work if the old man had an army of goose

nobody would dare go in

[nocturne flicker]

Where I come from that is a guaranteed lawsuit and the geese would be put down

[hoary zodiac]

even for trespassers?

[rancid juniper]

Why they putting down geese? They afraid?

Smh

[nocturne flicker]

If you don't have proof they trespassed, sure.

[hoary zodiac]

damn

[gleaming rivet]

Wow. Well where I'm at.. the trespasser would have to prove that the geese got out and bit them. Otherwise they'd just get charged with trespassing LOL

Especially if you have a fence that keeps them contained.

[hoary zodiac]

also good practice to trim their wings then

[fresh timber]

i hate my self

[gleaming rivet]

So by that logic, if someone trespassed and got bit by a dog.. the dog would then be put down??

[nocturne flicker]

A lady tried it with one of our dogs about 15-20 years ago. Was walking by the house, saw the dog in our yard, claimed she had gotten bitten, used an old, unrelated bite on her leg as proof and they were almost going to put the dog down

[hoary zodiac]

that's just fraud

[fresh timber]

damn

[gleaming rivet]

Aye that has no bearing on what you said above.

[nocturne flicker]

It is. The courts don't care

[gleaming rivet]

They didn't enter your property LOL

[nocturne flicker]

Our property was directly on a highway

[gleaming rivet]

Ok, but you said she was just walking by. That doesn't have the same thing to do with what I said earlier about people coming ONTO my property and getting bit.

Plus she didn't even get bit. Just claimed to

I fail to see the correlation how someone could trespass onto my propery, get bit, then sue me, when you use an example that isn't even close to what I said.

[nocturne flicker]

There is no sidewalks on the highway up north. To walk by you had to go onto our property because of how the sides of the highway was set up.

[fresh timber]

'bop

time to disable my dns server everythings about to go kaboom

[nocturne flicker]

She walked onto our property, falsely claimed she was bitten, won the lawsuit and nearly got the dog put down

[gleaming rivet]

What state do you live in? I just wanna know so I can stay away from whatever messed up state will allow someone to win a case when they were the one trespassing.

That's crazy to me. Where I live.. If someone is on your property, you can shoot them dead.

[rancid juniper]

Sounds like Texas or most southern states

[gleaming rivet]

I'm in a north state

[rancid juniper]

😯

[nocturne flicker]

Our property was set up where we had a big front yard and a large back yard. Basically a large plot of grass with a house and a driveway directly connected to the highway. The property line is meaningless because there was no marking of the property by the highway, so there is no way to reasonably tell if you are trespassing or walking on state land

Northern New York

[rancid juniper]

New borked

[nocturne flicker]

In the end the dog was just put on a list in case future incidents came up

[hoary zodiac]

the dog really did got put on a registry

💀

[nocturne flicker]

Yes.

[rancid juniper]

Got put on animal watch

[unreal trail]

wot the dog doin

[gleaming rivet]

bitin people who trespass

[nocturne flicker]

Also, this was local court stuff in rural NY, thorough investigations and verification of claims, especially 20 years ago wasn't...a key concern of cops and courts

[rancid juniper]

nah i want it cheaper

[sinful blade]

There was a snow squall that caused 30+ accidents an hour ago

Wooooo

Guardrail has been taken out 8 times in the last 2 years

[storm narwhal]

Classic new York

Thorough investigations by new york state still aren't a thing, if you ask Louis Rossman

[nocturne flicker]

They are if the victim is rich

Or a cop

So thorough some evidence may magically appear that guarantees a guilty sentence halfway through the case

[wraith fern]

what if skibidi toilet was real?? 😱

[nocturne flicker]

And as usual the cops are all buddies whether retired or active. My uncle was in the NYPD, retired after 9/11. He doesn't care about speeding and stuff because he knows the local cops and is a retired one

So he does things like go 80 down tight suburban streets

And gets to skirt by on security checks at things like concerts and stuff

[gleaming rivet]

So my understanding from what you are saying is that.. NY cops are crooked.. including your uncle.

Basically thinking they are above the law they are supposed to uphold.

[nocturne flicker]

Cops are frequently crooked everywhere.

Especially the NYPD

The NYPD even has a Wikipedia page dedicated to its very long and active history of corruption

They also have a very powerful hold over the city's mayorship

[fresh timber]

Random urge to redo my setup a bit

Good spot for ps5 or nah

[storm narwhal]

They tried to extort Louis for apparently not paying rent in a place where his repair shop wasn't even located

[proud jackal]

wow carry me

[storm narwhal]

And for not having insurance for an employee since it wasn't a new York insurance

[storm narwhal]

One rage from tipping over

[nocturne flicker]

The best part is when a mayor is elected on a platform promising to reform the NYPD to make it more open, honest and fight corruption, then proceeds to do the exact opposite to remain on good terms with the NYPD when elected

Then he gets replaced by a former NYPD cop after the term limits kick in to undo any of the minor attempts he made

Anyways, I should get off my soapbox.

PC does bleep bloops, discuss

[fresh timber]

I’m looking for a spot for this lol

[hoary zodiac]

Fedora or Ubuntu for general usage?

I got a bunch laptops I gotta process for recycling

[fresh timber]

That’s a hard one, both are good

[hoary zodiac]

They most likely have HDDs

So windows is not an option

[fresh timber]

Run bazzite

[hoary zodiac]

no

[fresh timber]

::

:/

[hoary zodiac]

Fedora plasma it is

[pliant berry]

personally i would do ubuntu

or just plain debian

[hoary zodiac]

Would you prefer ubuntu for usability?

For people who might not be able to use Linux

These are getting sold/donated with no upgrades

Not worth upgrading

These probably have sandy/ivy bridge CPUs

[pliant berry]

well ubuntu has more community support. but if they know nothing about linux have you thought about some of the simpler distros like popos

[hoary zodiac]

What about ubuntu with kde plasma?

[wraith fern]

@fresh timber is araxys sniper worth it

This is worthless

Guess this going to the donation pile

[misty sparrow]

can i have it

Windows 7 holy based

It’s still a decent pc as long as u add a bit more ram

[worn wave]

nah imo. can get 180hz for $119cad
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/RxtLrH/msi-g2422c-240-1920-x-1080-180-hz-curved-monitor-g2422c

[frigid stag]

Damn these are cheap

I should get one as a 2nd monitor

Well main monitor till I go with 1440p for main

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah they're good for donation

And basic usage

But in terms of selling them

No value

[worn wave]

tbh if you were considering a $140 option I'd just go for the $180 1440p. get a secondary monitor later, you can just get 65-70hz and save money

I guess it does depend on your gpu as well

[hoary zodiac]

Second laptop

Average HP experience

Looks semi modern

Guessing broadwell?

Place your bets

[worn wave]

waste of money though, don't need high refresh rate for a secondary

[hoary zodiac]

Judging by the sticker

ooo it's got windows 10

Hidden treasure among the trash heap

[worn wave]

bro what

[hoary zodiac]

Skylake... Even better

[worn wave]

get a 1440p panel and keep the 1080p as secondary

[misty sparrow]

win10 pro too

i can't believe MS is trying to discontinue Windows 10, when more people use Windows 10

you're incredibly lucky to see 1440p, let alone OLED

never seen it

[fresh timber]

Don’t yall love when a bunch of random cables spawn out of nowhere

[fresh timber]

a governmment that pays its citizens and treats them fairly? even if its an oligarchy im fine with thatr

[dusk knot]

Yes

We care for all

[hoary zodiac]

No

Or should I stick to windows 10

[fresh timber]

i dont think it even supports it with out moding

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not worried about TPM

That's easily bypassed

More just the general performance

other than tpm I don't think system reqs really increased for win11

Alright I'll put win11 on these sandy bridges

Ughhhhh

[hoary zodiac]

Have to be linux

Nothing like a HDD killing a otherwise usable system

I wonder..

Is it worth upgrading these old sandy bridges with ssds?

[proud jackal]

everything is better with ssds

[hoary zodiac]

I mean the $100-200 range has skylake laptops so

[proud jackal]

my old i7-920 benefited from ssd

[hoary zodiac]

In terms of profitability

Probably not worth upgrading something people don't want to buy right?

Yeah shops are taking them for sub $50

Imma just wipe them and put kubuntu

what about UwUntu
