Or a freakishly long ethernet cable
Yeah we are all wifi so not worth
I've thought about getting a crimping kit for really short lengths
If I do go wired then I will be the only one that is wired
Valve doing actual human reviews on refunds is so nice given how everything is now-a-days
Spending $30 on a crimping tool for just cable management is pretty expensive compared to zip ties
They are very fast too
I got mine processed same day
i think it helps that most people don't know that you can refund past 2 hours
or they just don't care
Wtf?
Actually in like 2 or 3 hours
so they have less volume relatively
Clanker collaborators will be punished
Clanker collaborators will be springlocked
Destroy all constructs
Deconstruct all constructs
Constructs are a social construct
I forgot if I needed 50 feet or 75
Damn
But that overnight delivery tho 
I need to figure out fast
That's what she said
what would be a decent nvme m.2 drive maybe around 4tb? looking to put games on it so when updating games me computer does not want to freeze up badly at times
LMAO
I think this was the deal theo got, it's actually cheaper than the one I posted. I stand corrected
i bought 8tb

Turns out it's this deal
Has anyone heard the news about Jozef Mutter
Reddit moment, also funny enough it did not block the request.
apparently my actual IP is a VPN then if that is what they are doing
That's stupid
Reddit doing something stupid is hardly surprising
they are very clearly being dishonest about that message
Can barely use twitter without an account
It does not relate to network security yeah
It just means they can't track your location
It will show you really old posts if viewing an account and you can’t see any comments
Who uses twitter anyways
better yet who calls it "X"
probably mostly just elon lmao
twitler,,,
one time they told me to log in because they couldnt verify the post... lol
The only people who use twitter are politicians and commentary youtubers
and the random clip that goes viral for no reason
i'm still tired of hearing about that cheating BF6 streamer
Who
exactly
I mean there are certain people who are also using it 
Some very crass folks who don't like a lot of people 
Does it relate to a certain organisation in the 1930-40s
Yes 
I think it's ridiculous that they can have a platform
And then peddle "free speech" nonsense when they break the rules of the platform
We live in a world where public discourse can be on platforms owned by private individuals
There is censorship and then there's freedom from consequence
It's sad how the moderation of these platforms often lean to one end
Or just... Do nothing
That's one of the reason why the twitter audience tends to be... Unhinged
Just a bunch of AI bots being told to delete things Elon doesn't like
It used to be a snowpit
Elon Musk is genuinely one of the saddest manchildren on the internet
I'm just glad the Tony Stark based cult of personality is dead
I know
He cultivated one painting himself as Tony Stark
Which is why now that everyone finally agrees he is an idiot it is dead
It's good that the US administration agrees too
I think, no matter who's in charge
Having Musk in government would be a disaster
Regardless of the ruling party
He's just going to go back to influencing public policy via his economic influence in the background
He won't be as effective but he gets to go hide away from the spotlight
Tesla, SpaceX
It's all
Throwing a crap load of money at the problem
He doesn't know the first thing about cars or rockets
He just pays people to do it and then takes the credit
Money is power in the world of influencing public policy
basically every CEO... lol
If only we had rich people that are actually uhh
Useful
Most of them are useless twats
Grifters if you will
Or con men at the very worst
The ultra rich inherently are deleterious to the health of civil society, regardless of how benevolent they are
how do you think they get so wealthy? Certainly not by honest hard work.
If they were truly benovent
Then they would invest in the interest of the people
For that would secure not only the economy, but also their image
Their position by default gives them significant sway over the entire society. That sway will naturally pull society in a direction according to their biases and desires. They can never serve a truly benevolent role in any society
And there's very few instances of true benevolence in the rich
If there ever had been one
One does not accumulate such wealth without screwing someone over
From their parents
Napoleon didn't become the emperor by being benevolent
Expecting or considering anyone of the ultra rich to be truly benevolent is like believing a dictator can be truly benevolent. It contradicts itself naturally
cough Napoleon cough
proceeds to plunder half of Europe after overthrowing the government
how tf do i manage to find two servers discussing napoleon and why must it be on a night when i desperately need to go to sleep
Wow even has its own cable clips
On a privately owned social media platform in a server for a private ecommerce company
Crazy
It is ironic how Napoleon claimed to "protect the revolution" and then proceed to enrich himself beyond anyone's imagination
everything went downhill for france after 1872, Napoleon was a proto-LARPer who wanted to play Caesar but was just another mediocre Aurelius.
this is my take, goodnight chat
Augustus was based though, Napoleon was cringe
But Marcus Aurelius was one of the good emperors 
Augustus was in many ways a petulant child but a wildly effective one
Napoleon plundered Europe and then wondered why everyone want to stomp France
His attempt of diplomacy is to blow it up with artillery
he benefits from the peace his predecessors bought in blood. and be pissed it all away in death
he was a remarkably average man with a remarkably above average millitary
I think Julius Caesar would've made a better Emperor
He was more restrained when it comes to purging people
What a mess
I agree, he out-generaled the entirety of Rome, and even more impressively out-politic'd Cicero. he was an impressive man who knew the stakes. i dislike him on a personal level but i feel he would have made a better leader
Julius Caesar is more tactful when it comes with dealing with the senate
It's sad how Cicero came to an end because of Antony
that was his downfall, ironically the smartest think i feel Augustus ever did was immediately gut his poltical opposition
He was remembered for being a skilled administrator, lawmaker and politician 
That's a trait both of the Caesars had
Although
I'd say Augustus wasn't so much of a good military leader
But he didn't need to
He had Agrippa
Wait am I still talking about Aurelius or did I jump in on Augustus
he wasn't bad, but he wasn't good. the best thing i will say is that he was disciplined... mostly. that is the only reason his regime worked. he did not have the force of will or raw talent of his betters, he simply persevered in his mediocrity
agreed
I'd argue that his military achievements should be attributed to Agrippa
They were a hell of a team really
he famously took a nap while Agrippa crushed Antony, so this is an appropriate take i woukd say lol
Augustus was also remarkably lucky that Agrippa was loyal
Such men were hard to come by
Augustus's skill was that he knew his weaknesses and had the social prowess to attract the people he needed to compliment his personality
Especially in that era
I don't know where I am. I am going to go back to space where I know more about where I am
one gets the impression that Agrippa just liked to command soldiers haha
chat i need help. idk why the back cover of my samsung galaxy is bulging between the middle. it's making my phone pop out of my phone case
Battery
so is it because my battery is bad?
You will want to get that replaced
its turning into a comfy pillow full of cotton candy
That is a fire hazard in the making
take a nibble you will
surely not regret it
so i need to replace the battery then?
if i take it to a phone shop they might charge me like $100
Preferably as soon as possible
should i just do it myself?
i looked on amazon and a battery and tool only cost $18
you can usually get ifixit kits for like $40 for that sort of thing
if it's soldered write a letter to your congressman about right to repair and then cry yourself to sleep
is b-7000 safe to use to glue back my back cover on?
this is what i ordered
i was gonna take it to a phone repair shop but then i'm like nah they gonna overcharge me
when i can do it myself for $20
Write a letter to your Congressman pretending to be a farming and then talk about RoR
They have a higher chance of listening
Marginally
It's pop rocks
Omg a long time friend of my mother's just offered me a potential job working for her company, and it could be soooo amazing 😭
It's working with 7th-9th graders on extracurricular after school education and enrichment. I can bring my own curriculum, and it's incentivized for it to be STEAM based, and unique
I have so much experience with 3D modeling, 3D printing, sound design, 3D rendering, local AI for text generation, sound generation, image and video generation. I feel like I could do such a good job there, and it's very ideal hours
Pay is meh, but at this point I just wanna have a job, and something like that where I can have an environment would be sooooo coooool
I put root beer in a square cup. Now it's just beer
What if you integrate the beer
As a math person I find this hilarious and am sending it to my dad who is also very much a math person
🗣️ Come cheer up my lads, 'tis to glory we steer 🗣️

What the heck
do you think it can handle modded minecraft or nah?
9/9 Cirno day
Discover literally pulled a please contact us via the messaging service during work hours. The work hours: 1 minute from now 😐
...And this was not the server I was having this convo in. Whatever I'm going back to bed
not enough RAM
Apparently Apple supposed to be announcing new line up of phones soon
I heard it is actually a big design change this time
if it is merely change for the sake of change then meh
just enough to force you to buy a new case
whys it so hard to get an og powerplay mousepad
Antec f12 good?
bro im still on pcie gen 3
Id have put Gen 2 in that caption if I made it
Get with the times, old timer
Gen 2 is definitely ancient by now
this is basically legalized slavery
they'll be repaying for the rest of their life
I would presume they're just an ordinary person

RIP
not even the first time Nintendo has sued someone into the dirt
Brutal
It's just a name. Wth
and then theres this
yeah Nintendo doesn't care about the name lol
Gotta respect a man named Bowser working for Nintendo though ngl
These companies are so inhuman in their actions.. yuck
the courts are to blame too
They are literally being used and abused by these corps
What that man did ...was illegal with the modding, but 2 million dollars ...come on
I would try to fake my death and get out
Yeah the prosecution is not what I take issue with... its the punishment
This stuff should be income based to prevent this kind of nonsense
hit the rich guy with 2m fine, not some normal dude
His superhero name is Pizza Man
I just did a minecraft thermal test and my 9060XT got to 52° c
Bliss 2.1.1 shaders, DH render distance 128 chunks
Gary Bowser didn't get sued because of his name, he got sued because he was a salesperson of Team Xecuter, which sold mod chips, copyright circumvention software and licenses for that software. He and one of the leading members of that were both charged. The second guy is still pending extradition and will likely get a more severe punishment and there is another leader would likely be in the same position if he wasn't a Chinese national and was never going to get extradited.
Gary Bowser lol
The dudes from Xecuter aren't people who deserve to be defended after the fact
Literally sold modded firmware and required you to pay license fees if you wanted to actually use it
ik he didnt get sued over the name, that would be silly, and not legal lol
Bowser was only a sales person, but the other two guys made millions on it
But Bowser still made a couple hundred thousand iirc
his punishment was still a bit harsh
Compared to the fact that the judge who sentenced him said he wanted to sentence the other two guys to over a decade in person? Bowser got off well with 40 months and a 25-30% wage garnishment
I still think the monetary amount was excessive
The most they can take is 25-30% of his wages in the agreement
The normal garnishment if you can't pay a lawsuit's fines
If they really wanted to they could've pushed for a lien on any home he has, seizure of all of his cash assets and the seizure of physical assets and their sale
wouldnt that make him less able to make money to keep paying though?
Doesn't matter. Those are the standard options available to debt collections if you lose a lawsuit and can't pay the fines. If you are low enough income you may be able to get some relief during debt hearings, but you can be much more ruined by a lawsuit than what Bowser got
oh so the media just blew the case out of proportion then? I shouldnt be surprised
Now I want to see him as a vigilante
Breaking news: pizza-man vigilante shot 24 times while defending elderly woman from burglar.
i dont really use physics mod
makes me motion sick fsr
I mean they still requested 5 years in prison that got knocked down to 14 months of the 40 and the fine was still $14.5mil but that got knocked down to $10mil and the most they can take is that 25-30%
The fact that Louarn is still sitting around in France with no worries because he is well off so the extradition can just wait
Is more unjust
It isn't like he is a dude who is quiet about what he does either, the dude has been doing stuff like this since the 90s and has had multiple lawsuits over it
Gets out of jail in Tanzania, take a private jet back to France and brags about how they arrested and tried the 'broke' guy instead of him
something needs to be done about this
Don't sell hacked Switches and Nintendo won't be able to sue you. Just quietly leak the software and don't try to profit off of it like everyone else 
Though in reality, they sued because the dude agreed and signed a document to stop selling his stuff and proceeded to continue to sell it 
i am of the opinion that people should be able to do what they like with their property
That wasn't the issue
Oof
Well that's just dumb
this sounds like doing what i like with my property but what do i know
the second money gets involved they will come after you
If I made an illegal modification to a PS3, sold copies of it loaded with illicit versions of games and required buyers pay me a license to use that illegal mod to its fullest extent to bypass copyright, is that doing what I want with my property?
yes
yes
yes
Is it done in a legal fashion
if you purchased the device and did something you desired to do, you are in fact doing what you like with your property. not even as an argument of idealism, like actually literally
changing the goalposts
The legality is the problem and the breach of trust.... mostly the trust
I'm running on 2 hours sleep and on mobile, sue me. I'll just sign an agreement before hand saying I won't and then do it anyways later so you can legally sue
once the device is in the consumer's possession, they should be free to do whatever they want, the only responsibilities the company has are to fix it and/or provide replacement parts
I think its much different when a device that once supported x software or x feature takes it away and a device that never supported or endorsed such feature
get some rest homie
I work in an hour 
tragic
Am I allowed to make copies of the device I bought and resell it 
sure

if you made it it yourself
you didn't design it though
and you're not passing it off as being sold by an official retailer
imagine someone spends years developing a game for someone to just attempt to perfectly recreate it and also sell it. "but I made it myself"
lol
did ps3 games sell particularly well?
or xbox 360
how is this relevant?
It would be one thing if the item in question is something that isn't or is unable to be patented or copyrighted
Those can be legally copied and imitated and resold as something new
Which is why there are 10000 cola varieties
I have no idea
Some did, some didn't. You can't make copies of PS3 games and sell them though
If you do, the company responsible for distribution will be well within their rights to sue you
GTAV sold almost 30 million copies
Which they will be less likely to do if you stop trying to profit
you could jailbreak your ps5 and run scanned discs on it. xbox 360 was even easier iirc. 23 million GTAV sales on xbox
I love getting dropped from my college class because they won’t give me my financial aid so I can’t afford my class work book
i'm not really concerned about a small fringe of people getting a free game. even when this stuff is incredibly available people still buy games because most people are fairly reasonable
I hate lazy ass teachers
you try asking other students for scans?
Can’t
The work needs to be done in the book
I'm not either. But making your own copy of the game and reselling it is not a couple people getting free games
oh fun
Not everyone can afford a $200 book in a single week:)
people literally did this for those consoles
Selling jailbreaking software is not a couple people just getting free stuff
you run a genuine risk of getting an unplayable disc if you buy cheap 360/ps3 games. a lot of them are cloned discs that only run on modded consoles
people sold a lot of those discs for cheap
and yet, 55 million GTAV sales
like i said, i'm not really concerned
I'm concerned that people making profit on piracy will make an incentive for companies to crack down harder on normal piracy
totk has sold 10 million copies and you can download the emulator and the rom for free in like 5 minutes
its the redistribution that is the real problem. I have hundreds of CD and blue rays scans but im not trying to sell it to people. I own all of them and the scanning is just for my own convenience
Congratulations. This is not Copying something and then reselling it to make money
Or selling jailbreaking software
Or selling modded consoles that require licenses from the modder
that's fair, but i see that as a feature more than a bug. it's a self balancing system. if it becomes an actual issue to margins, games crack down, piracy slows, and then the balance is returned. likewise with games getting a bit less insane with always online and stuff these days, because piracy is really no longer an issue
i'm aware, i was making the point that even absurdly available games still make gangbusters profits. i'm not really swayed by the moral argument of "but thomathy might make a quick 30 grand selling GTA VI roms for $5 on the dArK wEb"
ultimately it doesn't really affect anyone meaningfully
so like what's the point in caring
It does when companies lobby the government to pass copyright protection laws which then in turn affect normal people not trying to profit off pirating and leeches into everyday internet use
Insert DMCA strikes here
unless the pirates are doing the lobbying, take it up with the companies
i don't buy games that require certain kinds of drm
I mean if it happened to me as an artist, i would be pissed. why should i let someone else profit on my own work
Depends on the type of art and how the artist owns the work
Sometimes it is completely managed by like a record company and they have little actual share in the sales
the difference is scale. if you're making $30 on a comission and somebody runs off with a sketch and generates the rest, that sucks a ton. not really an issue when you're pushing out millions of copies of the same image that's already been built and will be sold for years and years
Iirc some people dealing with record labels really didn't care because the record labels shafted them anyways
also have to keep in mind that most of the poeple doing this weren't going to buy the game to begin with
full disclosure, i had no intention of purchasing totk at full price so i legally acquired it and then boight the game when it went on sale. nintendo lost exactly $0 because i would have just waited and played the game later if legal acquisition was not possible
But we are talking about profit driven piracy
sure, but the actual consumerbase for such a thing, the people buying the pirated games, is 1) extremely limited, and 2) many of them probably wouldn't have purchased the game anyway
Joe Bob Jimmy Boy buys a single copy of X game, copies it onto some homemade discs and sells them for 2/3rds the price is what we would have a problem with
it's a niche within a niche that actually 'harms' the game producer in terms of opportunity cost
the reason i made the point of asking about console sales earlier is because we literally have a case stufy for this, and it was one of the most successful console gens ever. GTAV alone sold 55 million copies
It doesn't matter if the general consumer base for that is smaller, someone making cash of significant enough value draws more attention than any of the people just passing around copies for free

What does GTA V, the most recent release of a major IP that spanned three console generations of releases have to do with the fact that people selling copies of video games draws more attention and causes more problems than people sharing games via P2P and direct downloads
Was there a thriving blackmarket of discounted copies of GTA V I've never heard of?
we're just talking past each other at this point lol
Yes. I think your point is piracy is fine when my point is profit driven piracy hurts piracy
According to Fairy Odd Parent lore, one of Cosmo and Wanda’s kids caused ww1
Are gigabyte gpus worth getting
did their cousin lobby for the treaty of versailles?
Like if theyre at a good price
Cosmo also created Pittsburgh
No, the child they were responsible for asked for the assassination of arch duke Ferdinand
i meant that uf their kid started the first one maybe a cousin did the second
Gaming 7600xt
No idea
Ik
Fall is the season of suffering
But its enough for me i think
Because it's the season where my allergies flare up
A 9060xt 16GB should be around the same price,
(it is starting)
Cetirizine Hydrochloride
But how if it doesn’t exist
Also whats with the 9060 non xt
Wasnt amd going to release that or something
No idea
Refer to this chart at all times when buying GPU’s
Buy 2 9060s, rip vram out of one, put it in the other, return the other one

I have the 1060 rn, it runs well but vram limitation
Intel BMG-31 for Arc B770 nearing launch Intel has been working on launching a higher-end Arc Battlemage graphics card, and there is evidence to support this. While the company remains silent on its Arc plans, rumors are slowly gaining momentum that a potential Arc B770 graphics card is heading for launch. Intel has never confirmed […]

@lethal jasper what is your budget for an upgrade and what country are you in
Planning on getting a new pc not upgrading, i just dont think i really need the 9060xt and could use that money for a better processor or better fans
B770 32 Xe2 cores v. B580 20 Xe2 cores hmm I wonder how that'll perform
Its like a 150 dollar difference between the 16 gb of both models
better than, like, 3080?
I assume it will also be 16gb like the a770?
supposedly ya
Hey, I am trying to buy my first pre-built gaming PC. Anyone know aything about this: https://www.newegg.ca/gaming-desktop-pc-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-intel-core-ultra-7-265kf-64gb-ddr5-2tb-ssd-azzahermon-u79070xt/p/N82E16883989019?Item=N82E16883989019
it's only rumors now
I could also get a B580 but idk if i should get a non F cpu with that in case something happens
Will the celestial line come out like late 2026 to early 2027
64gb of memory is pretty overkill for that setup. Intel 265K isn't bad but you may want to consider AMD CPUs for generally better value & performance. Don't take this as me sounding like a snob or anything please, but I highly recommend building a computer yourself. My prebuilt got destroyed by FedEx in 2021 & it ended up being a blessing (except for my wallet lol)
heck I have no clue. I'd assume it hinges on how successful Battlemage turns out. Then again, Intel has been struggling since B580 launch to actually get GPUs to market at MSRP plus all the other derp things Intel has been doing & firing everyone
Peak
Sounds like intel hq is having fun
Don't worry Celestial by 2033 
Source: My Dad's Cousin's Neighbor's dog works at Intel 
Ya I didnt think 64gb is something I need but for that price I doubt I would be saving money if I buy my own parts. That is the only reason I a considering it. The only thing scaring me is that there are no brad specifications on any parts and the memory specs arent available. Would you say that this is a better deal? https://www.newegg.ca/gaming-desktop-pc-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-32gb-ddr5-2tb-ssd-azzacarmel-7800x3d9070xt/p/N82E16883989016?Item=N82E16883989016
i thought you settled on b580? cheaper and faster you said, no?
if magically B580 was available at MSRP & B770 ends up being like 5070 ("4090 pErFoRmaNCE") performance (again, magically) at like $450 & is actually available around that price, Celestial can't come soon enough. Unfortunately, we live in reality where this won't happen so I dunno. B770 could flop & kill dGPUs for Intel all together for all we know lol
The lighting in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is preventing me from playing it. I can't look at my screen without feeling discomfort.
"FF7 Rebirth" "graphics" "gameplay" "Final Fantasy" "lighting"
Idk yet
Rebirth did have some blown out lighting tho
Planning phase (since march)

But my father is an nvidia fanboy
Will probably force me to get an rtx 5060 or something idk
If i dont have an amd or intel gpu you know what happened
boomer nvidia fans typically mained intel, tell him it's like an i5 but for gpus
All 3 pcs in his house are gtx, and intel 6th gen
so
a skylake stan, incredibly stuff in the big 25
Oh he also doesn’t clean the pcs
Get an AMD cpu, a Nvidia gpu and run the OS on an Intel SSD, it'll confuse him into submission
and doesn’t repaste
Fym intel ssd
Im ripping that soldered storage out of my macbook bruh
New article dropped on Newegg gamer community
About why PCs cost a lot more when you have them custom built for you
for reference (& why it took me so long to reply lol)
I'd rather we could go back to having more than 2 serious contenders in the GPU space. Take me back to the late 90's with nVidia, ATi, 3Dfx, SiS, Matrox...
& that list is not optimized, that's just me grabbing random things I'm pretty sure do not suck
lol AMD bought ATI
True
(I wasn’t alive back then)
More competition is always better
Competition brings the prices down (this is why we need Intel to be competitive again)
Technically they do lol
I mean standalone components
Just all in their own devices. Not open source or available to purchase alone whatsoever
Yea
Yeah that'll never happen 💀
Steve j*bs
Apple will get into socketable cpus and dgpus and then require you use only specific model Apple cpus with Apple gpus

Lmao not in our lifetime
Using WindowsOS I see? 20% perf hit
Only one fan on the Apple gpu will spin if Windows detected
I like macos, even if it’s not as compatible and shit as windows and linux its simple and looks good
Apple will patent something like decades prior to their own version. Other companies will just release their version like a decade prior to Apple's release (this is basically what happened with VR headsets btw)
and charge you $179.99 for an extension cable
one extension cable
Tbh the only issue I have with MacOS is that it looks like ass when you're not on a 4K 32" monitor (I still don't know why. But apparently this is a documented thing found in forums. Your 1440p 27" monitor will look like ass with MacOS)
Vision pro just a testbed irc, so they can release an “affordable” product after getting community feedback and whatnot
That makes sense too tbh
Same with the 17 air
Well it is made for 4k 21 inch monitors 
thats what the imacs are, and 5k 27 inch too
Thin phone testbed to get community support and then release a fold
You basically need a 4K monitor for MacOS to make it look good and it's the stupidest thing 💀
Are the desktop mac screens 16:9?
lol this is $19.99 on Apple website when it's not undergoing maintenance like it is rn apparently https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MW693AM/A/polishing-cloth
Or 16:10 like macbooks
Maybe 16:10? (I'd have to look it up)
I wish 16:10 was a more used for pc monitors ratio to get something between 1440 and 1080p
Here's your answer I guess 💀
16:9 kinda too wide
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bbxmHG is there room in this pc for me to add a hard drive? i just want to store videos idk if thats best option
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Phanteks XT PRO ATX Mid Tower
Well yea theres 1920x1200 but those are like 60 hz and hp
(You could find the aspect ratio using the resolution and trig but I'm not about to do that lol)
Ig can play 1080p and put discord on top of something lmao
The glorious “S -> D” button on the glorious casio 991
lmao
the case appears to have an HDD cage thing here
I mean to simplify 1920/1080 to 16/10
Wish there were more affordable cases with a front/side io here, other than antecs and lian lis i cant find anything
apparently 1280x800, 1440x900, or 1680x1050
Wtf is 1440x900
just play xga at that point fr
You mean like in 1998 when the PowerPC G3 used a socketed CPU and discrete GPU
1872x1248
what is that resolution 😭
1680x1050
HUH?
these are available resolutions on my 16:10 laptop screen
Oh yippe im being bombed again
here's a list of them in Display Settings lol
wat
Being bombed is great :D
zoom zoom
here are more
What monitor do u have cro
this is a laptop
a terrible one but a laptop nonetheless
Microsoft Surface Book 3
Does it have real hinges
more likely real cringes
it has some weird thing because the top part can detatch
which also means 90% of the computer is behind the monitor
monitor setup btw
its a 2 in 1?
Effectively making it a volcano
only the 1660ti max-q & an extra battery are in the bottom part
it lets you adjust where the monitors are?
is it me or is apple cooking
ya just move them lol
with their event
what does it do though
aligns the mouse movement
ah
it's hard when the displays are different resolutions tho
yeah they are for most people
I use a 4k 43" in the middle & had this brilliant idea to put two 27" 1440p monitors on the side in portrait
I could never line up the mouse or picture properly :(
so spanning never worked well
even with Custom Resolution Utility
Why not a 1080p 24 inch in the middle and 12 xenon edges around it
its marketing... wait for reviews

looks like its trying to copy pixel phones lmao
it looks like shit
Apple is boring
Attack bungie hq instead
good choice fr
what even is that bump on the cameras
I’m dying of boredom. Someone save meeeeeee
no point to buy a pro
😂
The Presentation was so boring. I couldn’t really watch all if it. Can you summarize these revolutionary iPhones?
phone
thats so apple coded
at least its 256GB standard
iphone air is a joke
and not 128GB
ignore it
meh
normal 17 also has 256gb now
wdym all the range
just pros or all the iphone 17s
all
Wow
okay so whats the point of buying the pro now
all iphones this year are pro motion
so no node improvements?
Flexing till the next money plunderer
Tired of these "pro"
dual video mode
you can shoot vids with front and rear cams at the same time
vlog type shit
Probably why they increased the base storage

wow
Promotion….
what a scam man
Wow
if they offered a 128GB version it'd be like $700
it used to be $700 for base iphone
all phones are 800 now sadly
too expensive bruh
Someone topple Apple already
Well if you are an apple user you would trade yours in
and get scraps
lmao
Might as well get oneplus lmao
Me with the oneplus nord n30
decent device
if you trade in thru apple you do get good value
i remember getting a pixel 3 and it was just as good as the current iphones at the time
3000 nits…cool
i don't wanna buy the latest iphones anyway
ill stick to older ones
For outside. That’s great
its funny too, my old pixel 3 looks like it takes better photos than my iphone 14pro
i dont know how
with all that fancy pro shit they put in the cameras they cant beat a 2018 phone
but indoors at night hmmm
Yeah idk why people love brightness so much because even old phones can still be readable in the sun
this
yall out here cooking your eyes
Imagine accidental full brightness….. You might actually get some eye damage.
i had a 500 nits phone
it was nowhere bright enough under a sun
brightness is good but that's why adaptive brightness exists
oh yeah BTW
that way you don't burn your eyes
do any of you find it crazy how you can't get any of the basemodel colors on the Pro
the basemodel colors are so much better than whatever they have on the pro iphones every year
i mean, the pro is meant to be professional i guess
according to apple

idk why apple couldn't offer more colors
and then they have one color for one gen's pro iphone and they never use it in subsequent gens
iphone 11pro i think had some camo green color for the pros
if you wanna flex like an andrew tate wannabe
The modern reflection of societies bleak mental landscape
Yes
The truth
The growth of npcs

non playable corporations

made chicken and mash. feeling very comfy cozy
Me too, fed
Nooooo
i genuinely think stuff like this plays a huge role in the rise of mental health issues over the last 50 or so years
have you seen the graph of color distribution in modern cinema/art?
Bungie doing whatever they can to keep the hamster wheel going
it's all gray, black, white, pale blue, etc.
incredibly suboptimal, degrading to the soul
It's why people stare whenever they see a muscle car or a fancy car with a brighter color
99% of the time it's not the car
it's the color
Did they announce an iPad m5?
Marathon trailer
i drive red because i want to bring color to the world not because i'm broke and it was the cheapest thing that had working ac
I drive
Turbo kit
But the city is empty so it goes hard
it does
infiniti g35 dorifto
mitsubishi mirage had a deep purple option
was it a good car though
hm
gets you to point a and b
but it's uninspiring
may require full throttle if you're in a hurry
it has only 80hp
and struggles on the highway from what I have heard
i know roomba has a pretty good car
only if ur in a hurry
and don't know how to merge safely
@sinful blade car pic?
I drove a car with more power than could not maintain 65 mph even at full throttle with 3 passengers
to be honest i don think mitsubishi is a big brand in the US
i never see any ads for them
at that point a versa is better
do they just not make good cars?
it's got 120hp
most of its cars are woefully outdated
My Civic is 138 to 142 iirc
i wonder how mitsu is doing against toyota in asia
nice, what model
trucks and suvs
2004 Hyundai sonata
mmm

would you change anything about the car or get a new one
2.4l is a TINY V6 lol
iirc that sonata uses mitsubishi drivetrains
mitsubishi used to make even 1.6 v6
but it was offered in a lancer in japan
probably runs smooth though
do the gas-conservative cars have small engines or
generally yes
what's considered small?
depends on the type of vehicle
like 3L would be small for a truck, but not small for a coupe
i've never heard of a gas-saving truck before
look up kei trucks lol
diesels do not do very well where I live in the winter
reliable workhorses with torque
imagine a diesel-electric hybrid truck
i wonder if theres ever been an economy car that got to like 600miles on a full tank
probably? My Civic has managed 400 before.
granted, the way you drive can change its mileage
also look up hypermiling
I think I already do some of these strategies without realizing
noticed that on my current tank of gas that i drove 200miles and it's not halfway done yet
probably around 3/4 of the way so i guess i'm doing something right
My full tank of gas gets me 200miles 
Well more like 210. With 15.5 gals

Shorts rural drives are agony for mileage
And my work is very close. So 4 or 5 mile drive and then done
to get good mpg
you gotta be gentle on acceleration and use as little brakes as possible
look ahead, plan your speed
I yearn for an EV because it won't impact my range as much but am broke 
don't go very fast or you won't be able to coast
What about a hybrid
braking and acceleration uses gas so yeah
gotta get those parts as smooth as possible
It still does it just less impact. And if I am getting a new car I might as well spend more on an EV so I spend less on fuel period
don’t you have to pay to use charging stations
ye
and what if there are no nearby charging stations
with a high range ev you can just charge at home every night you come home from work
or with this use case
maybe even only charge once a week
Just plug it into your 110v
If you can
no gas, no oil changes (still need coolant changes but that's besides the point)
less brake wear because of regen braking
Do it in gear and fuel injection stops :)
don't idle in a modern car too yeah
there's no fuel when it's in gear and there's no throttle input
have to replace tires way more often tho
When accelerating hard and braking hard?
mhm
I spend nearly 1.6k on gas in a year. I'll be able to afford spending a little on tires a little more often
for sure, electric is definitely cheaper when they work
isn't a full set of good tires only like $400?
i like my trusty old mid 2000's japanese cars more than anything though
You can get Walmart brand Goodyears for about that yeah
by the time i upgrade from my current, electric will probs have the range and reliability i need
im spot on then
I can get 4 for my current car for about $456 without the labor, labor is like, $18. More than $400 but eh
cheaper than gas
EV tax is like 250, so even if I got new tires every year I'd still save quite a lot
correct me if im wrong, thats powerplay 1 not 2
cuza the 2 doesnt have a removabkle cable
Moot point though because no mones
How is this $10
I want a Prius
The build your own box in the same app gives you a lot better value
What I want (this is fake btw):
I wish

lol I'm using this as an excuse to leave town. It's theoretically a position in Austin (I live in Houston) and this girl wants to come with me to Austin
Sending it to my mom so she doesn't get insanely nosy lol
Everyone knows that Cloudflare is a nebulous presence that spawned from an abyss one day and just exists 
(They also have negative income
)
20% of all websites but they were in the hole 155mil last year
Food isn't actually expensive, they just jack up the price in 98% of avenues that you can get food from and make the 2% seem like a deal
Farmers can't even stay afloat from how cheap middlemen want to buy food off of them
recursion
Farmers are expected to lose 85 cents per bushel of corn they grow and sell this year 😐
Breakeven is estimated to be $4.75 and expected sale price is $3.90
that does not sound sustainable
It isn't. Which is why there is crop insurance and government subsidies to keep farms in business while also keeping corn cheap
Don't worry half of their workforce will be gone by next year's picking season so the prices will shoot up dramatically 
Ban he
Thank you
True
I mean, there has already been agriculture labor shortages for years. Grocery bills going to go brrrrrrr again
