general-chat

[lethal jasper]

yea i got all of those

[worthy meteor]

audio chip barely ever gets driver updates lol

[lethal jasper]

and gpu drivers

[worthy meteor]

like once a year

and audio chip drivers are also available on mobo website

[pliant berry]

most audio devices will just work out of the box. more advanced ones with multi channel might require specific drivers from their site

[lethal jasper]

jesus christ how many pop ups

im never downloading anything itop related again

[velvet summit]

i've never even heard of that

💀

[lethal jasper]

i wanted to download the driver updater to fix the broken uninstall files it had which made it incapable of being uninstalled

[pliant berry]

imo it's just kinda stupid trying to keep all drivers up to date. it either works or it doesn't. if it doesn't work or there is an important security related update i just leave them be

[lethal jasper]

and it gave me like 5 addon apps 😭

[worthy meteor]

don't use any extra apps, just manually delete it at that point

[velvet summit]

are you sure you didnt just download adware 💀

[worthy meteor]

Or it's like wifi drivers that you haven't needed to update in 2 years because there hasn't been any updates in 2 years

[pliant berry]

a lot of apps have extra steps in the installers where if you don't read and disagree they install random crap on your pc

[lethal jasper]

do i just uninstall them all

[pliant berry]

ya lol

[velvet summit]

i'd say so

depending on how deeply the software install itself and doesn't uninstall, you might have to reinstall windows entirely to fix ong

[lethal jasper]

isnt revo pretty good

[lethal jasper]

but how do i know if im not missing any drivers

[velvet summit]

if something isnt working then you'll know

[pliant berry]

if you were missing any drivers then prob some peripheral would stop working

[velvet summit]

but the only things that you need drivers for would be all listed on the mobo site for mobo related drivers, and then you just download the gpu drivers, and that's all the drivers you would need typically

most peripherals are plug and play compliant

[pliant berry]

yep

honestly the only thing I install are gpu drivers or asio drivers lol

[lethal jasper]

everything is working fine

and i removed the pests (i think)

[worthy meteor]

if it ain't broke, don't fix it

[lethal jasper]

true

[dusk knot]

Remake remake remake

[proud jackal]

[worn night]

what is driverbooster

[lethal jasper]

idk

[worn night]

then its a virus get rid of all of it

[lethal jasper]

i did

[worn night]

good

theres no legitimate "driver updater"

only the officially supplied ones

[velvet summit]

tbf there's attempts to make one, but with how many vendors there are and models, there's basically no chance of making one that is actually decent

[worn night]

yeah

unless it was made by a big or renowned company/name

otherwise its untrustworthy and we should stick to the individual brand supplied driver installers

[lone mango]

I wish more android phones have a physical do not disturb switch ngl

It's the one minor feature that apple devices at least used to have that I wish i have on android

Idk if current iPhones still have it

Oh it's a button now

[worn wave]

My 13 Pro is always on silent so I just occasionally have to clean the physical switch so it doesn't get full of crap

If I could reprogram the switch to do not disturb instead of silent I'd definitely do that

the fact that we were joking about stuff like this and then it actually happens is crazy work

they really out here calling it a refresh lol, RTX 5050 should've had GDDR7 memory since launch, not GDDR6

[nocturne flicker]

This update resolves the following:

https://tenor.com/view/overheat-computer-explosion-boom-spark-gif-17323916

[tacit quiver]

how do we feel about the macbook neo

im quite excited, $500 for a macbook (with education discount) is going to sell like hotcakes

its what the 2015 MacBook should have been

people seem to be upset that it doesn't have a backlit keyboard but i'm personally more surprised by the omission of magsafe and the force touch trackpad

[nocturne flicker]

I'm feeling that it is a product I'm not going to buy

[tacit quiver]

sure, but do you think it'll disrupt the entry level laptop market?

[nocturne flicker]

Nah

[tacit quiver]

and education?

[nocturne flicker]

Student laptops probably

Normal low end probably not

But college students, not HS

[tacit quiver]

i do feel like it is a strategic product for apple's price bracketing strategy, will most certainly boost the sales of macbook airs. when you see double the storage and ram for just $200 more, hard to turn that down

[tacit quiver]

yeah, that's what im thinking

schools will still likely use the $150 chromebooks

[tacit geode]

oh look wwhos here

hi zach

wait he still has me blocked?

wat

[tacit quiver]

lol its been so long i dont even remember why

unblocked!

[pliant berry]

Honestly at the student or batch discount prices I can see a lot of schools buying them. Especially since so many already have ipads

[nocturne flicker]

They do?

It was Chromebooks and Dell boxes at mine

[worn night]

https://klipy.com/gifs/horse-stare-qRu

[nocturne flicker]

El horso

[pliant berry]

Yeah out of the 30 or so schools here i’ve been to at least half the students are using ipads

[nocturne flicker]

Huh

Urban schools or rural?

[pliant berry]

In the early years the early adopters used chromebooks but after covid many switched to ipads

Mostly suburbs or urban

[nocturne flicker]

Ah, my school was a rural one

So less funding for it

[pliant berry]

Would make sense

[nocturne flicker]

Though their budget makes the rural schools down here look like a joke

[velvet summit]

My rural HS was doing both iPads and Chromebooks precovid but idk what they did afterwards

[tacit quiver]

i feel like they're too nice and not repariable enough for schools, cheap plastic chromebooks are easier to repair and less of a risk

[velvet summit]

But the failure rates of Chromebooks were pretty high

[tacit quiver]

surprisingly my university gives all students ipads. i've never used mine

[nocturne flicker]

The failure rates of Chromebooks were high but at the same time, you are giving HS, MS and Elementary school kids laptops to use

[velvet summit]

Well it wasn't exactly rural, but it wasn't urban either

700 or so students

[nocturne flicker]

Well, my school didn't give the elementary school kids laptops

[velvet summit]

Back in elementary school, there were computer labs with desktops with windows Vista stickers ong

[nocturne flicker]

There were charging stands with Chromebooks that the kids were assigned for their classes and they'd be put back

[velvet summit]

The mice also had the balls in them

We had to clean them weekly

[nocturne flicker]

Back in elementary school Visa was new and hip*

(Visa was never hip)

[velvet summit]

They were running windows 7 but had the vista sticker on them

[tacit quiver]

i wonder how the A18 Pro compares to the M1 chip

because it seems like this macbook neo is essentially the 2020 MacBook Air which is still a great laptop honestly

but half the price

looks like the a18 pro is actually a bit quicker than the m1? people on twitter are freaking out about it having a phone processor

[velvet summit]

I just remembered the phone I used for a while that had a FM radio antenna

[pliant berry]

I still have my 2020 MBA

[nocturne flicker]

I still have my Nintendo DS

DS go brrrrrrrr

[pliant berry]

I actually do have a dsi somewhere on a shelf

I also had a sega genesis I think but idk where it went

[tranquil pebble]

I have a DSi, and a "New" 2DS XL

[opaque sedge]

Why is apple suddenly going for the entry level market

https://tenor.com/view/james-doakes-james-doakes-sus-face-james-doakes-suspicious-james-doakes-reaction-erik-king-gif-14404252364057104628

[nocturne flicker]

Because everyone is broke

[pliant berry]

probably because of the success of the entry level m1 devices

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/ahoklollmao-of-course-ohhhh-oh-that-makes-sense-gif-11896286840118452668

[tacit quiver]

i just love how they simultaneously sell a $500 laptop and a $500 pair of headphones

they finally discontinued the $1,000 monitor stand though!

[tranquil pebble]

they sell more absurd things like the absurdity expensive stand

and wheels

Certified Apple moment

[tacit quiver]

^

[velvet summit]

To be fair, most of their absurdly expensive things are not meant for the consumer market

Nor the prosumer market

[tranquil pebble]

Well they still did it to begin with. lol

[tacit quiver]

yeah, true

[velvet summit]

Every part of the mac pro is absurdly expensive

[nocturne flicker]

That's like giving companies a pass for charging extremely high prices if a public entity buys a product

None of it is okay regardless of the buyer

[velvet summit]

To be fair, most companies hide it behind a "contact sales for pricing" rather than showing the price outright

While apple hasn't

[nocturne flicker]

Why be fair to companies who don't charge fair prices

[tacit quiver]

it's tempting me. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/16-inch-macbook-pro-apple-m5-max-chip-with-18-core-cpu-and-40-core-gpu-48gb-memory-2tb-ssd-silver/JJGCQLZTZ5

(i can't afford that)

[velvet summit]

When it's something that basically nobody would even consider purchasing, it might as well not exist in consumers eyes

[tranquil pebble]

T-virus vs F.E.V.

[misty sparrow]

unmodified?

[tacit quiver]

$730 trade in credit for my 2021 M1 Max 16" 😩

[nocturne flicker]

Does that make unfair pricing fair pricing

[velvet summit]

Apple's pricing of their mac pro isn't even higher than what every other company in the industry is pricing their shit at, just less noticable since consumers typically don't go to those companies
Or not in their separated web page for "professionals"
Or more typically they have an official distributor that handles the sale

[velvet summit]

It's honestly kinda hard to determine whether the pricing for the business market is fair or not fair as a consumer
Companies pay whatever they determine the service or product to be worth it to them, for what they do, so it would be a "fair" price to them

A fair bit of mac pro users I've seen just use like a benq monitor or whatever

[lethal jasper]

Anyone know stuff about the iphone lcds

[nocturne flicker]

Macbook Pros are not sold exclusively to the business market, they are sold also on the open market with little to no segregation from their non-business oriented products. And that still doesn't explain how the pricing for a stand and wheels is acceptable in any manner regardless of who buys it

[velvet summit]

Mac pro also came in rack format, so you could put it on a rack like in a studio

[velvet summit]

Not MacBook pros

Mac pros

[lethal jasper]

The 2000 dollar slab

[velvet summit]

The mac's that cost 15k usd for just the computer

Wait

[tacit quiver]

mac pro is like $7k

[velvet summit]

I meant mac studio my bad

[lethal jasper]

How much do those things heat up

[tacit quiver]

mac studio is like $4k

or $2k for base

[lethal jasper]

The ones with like 80 gpu cores go higher dont they

[tacit quiver]

lemme price one out

[velvet summit]

Back when it was Intel at least

[tacit quiver]

ha

$15,300 for maxed out mac studio, with 16tb storage and 512gb of ram

[velvet summit]

I remember it being fairly expensive, and somebody talking about whether it was worth the investment or not

[tacit quiver]

intel mac studio never existed

intel mac pro did

[lethal jasper]

How many cores

[tacit quiver]

1 trillion

[lethal jasper]

I mean gpu

80?

[tacit quiver]

45 trillion

[velvet summit]

Wtf was that cheese grater mac called again then
I just remember it having a rack mount option

And it used xeons

[tacit quiver]

cheese grater mac = mac pro
big cube mac = mac studio
small cube mac = mac mini

[lethal jasper]

the one with the funny pcie release?

[velvet summit]

Oh so I was correct then

[tacit quiver]

idk gng

[velvet summit]

Anyways the mac pro

That was what the wheels and $999 monitor stand were for

[lethal jasper]

If i were to do some hardcore rendering with the max studio that has like 80 gpu cores how hot would it get

[tacit quiver]

idek what you would put in the pcie slots of a mac pro

[lethal jasper]

gpus

[tacit quiver]

nope

[velvet summit]

PCIe to SDI cards or such

[lethal jasper]

Or at least the ones that supported the nvidia slabs

No?

[tacit quiver]

naw you can't just slap a graphics card in a mac lol

at least, not anymore

[lethal jasper]

i mean the older ones

[tacit quiver]

we are all talking about different things lol

[nocturne flicker]

Even those are not segregated significantly on their website. It is just another page in the Mac tab. Mac Mini is however on the open market at websites other than Apple

[tacit quiver]

i swear you used to be able to get a mac pro from best buy

they probably sold such low volume they stopped

[nocturne flicker]

That or Best Buy saw nobody was buying it and didn't want to waste their shelf space

[tacit quiver]

^

[velvet summit]

Apple markets their things in the worst way possible to make all their products feel more premium ngl

[pliant berry]

I don't recall best buy ever selling the pros

[tacit quiver]

that would mean good marketing, no?

[velvet summit]

Worst way for consumers

[nocturne flicker]

Well yes that has been the entire point for decades

[velvet summit]

Best way for them

[nocturne flicker]

Apple purposefully built a reputation as being the upper class source of tech

[tacit quiver]

that is what marketing is supposed to do lol

i don't think its strictly marketing, it is by definition luxury

[velvet summit]

Luxury because unnecessary

[tacit quiver]

built with nice materials, expensive price tag, not always the most practical or best value

[pliant berry]

advertise luxury to attract more of the real spenders

[tacit quiver]

i ain't never seen a rich person with an android 😭

[nocturne flicker]

Built with nice materials except when they aren't nice

[tacit quiver]

example?

[velvet summit]

They have nice machining but bad durability

[pliant berry]

depends on the model

[tacit quiver]

nice things are usually fragile, yes

[nocturne flicker]

Didn't the really small iPods have batteries that when they expand literally destroy the screen and is impossible to get out without puncturing the battery

[pliant berry]

but yeah they don't exactly build them like a tank

[tacit quiver]

yep so literally all lithium batteries expand

[bitter ridge]

This macbook neo thing probably will only hurt the Qualcomm laptops

[tacit quiver]

qualcomm laptops were already trash lol

i had someone come into best buy the other day and she was complaining how macs are a scam because she "only got 10 years of use" out of her 2016 MacBook Pro

i was like

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-cat-meme-ragebait-cat-think-cat-ponder-gif-7034802297606826390

so she decided she wanted a windows laptop because she was convinced the 10 year lifespan of her mac was short

mind you, she does graphic design

and wanted to get a windows gaming laptop for the GPU

i shoulda told her, see you in 3 years when you're ready to swtich back to mac!

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-laptop-user-portable-gaming-laptop-be-like-gif-27191601

[tacit quiver]

literally

[dusk knot]

There is still the possibility of it working 3 years or more

[tacit quiver]

you're right, if she's lucky she'll get 4

[dusk knot]

Mhhmm

[bitter ridge]

LOL yeah.....

[dusk knot]

I really wouldn't recommend a laptop for working purposes after my Dell gaming laptop disaster back in 2016

[pliant berry]

graphic design on a windows laptop...

[dusk knot]

Better to lug around full size ATX desktop

[tacit quiver]

she was thinking about an Asus ProArt which would have been probably the best choice for a Windows laptop. but it physically pained me to recommend that instead of a macbook

[bitter ridge]

I love my Zephyrus g16 I could probably make it last more then 10 years if I wanted

[tranquil pebble]

you better hook that up to a decent monitor at least lol

[nocturne flicker]

Yep, so if you are designing a product that contains a component you know will eventually or can even prematurely expand, why would you, the self proclaimed luxury brand of electronics A) put it directly behind the part that can literally burst outwards if too much pressure is applied and B) put it in a position where if someone tries to remove the battery, they risk puncturing it and causing a lithium fire

[pliant berry]

the proart line is pretty interesting but yeah.. I love flip flopping between operating systems but graphic design and photography are 2 that have very good reasons why basically the whole industry uses macs

[tranquil pebble]

the monitor I have has a mode for graphic design

[tacit quiver]

luxury is never about practicality or repairability, take a look at birkins, louis vuitton bags, luxury car brands like mercedes, etc. etc.

[nocturne flicker]

This isn't about practicality this is about basic safety

[tranquil pebble]

also Rolex

[tacit quiver]

and the batteries wouldnt have expanded until plenty of years later when the product is obsolete

[pliant berry]

also off topic but why I feel like everything I've been trying to order lately gets put on an indefinite back order

[tacit quiver]

what about the samsung note 7

or the galaxy ring

or the brand new s25 edge that's super thin

[tranquil pebble]

Ah yes, the smart grenade

[bitter ridge]

What about it

[sinful blade]

I can’t recommend laptops when mini pcs and portable screens exist

[tacit quiver]

the ford pinto, (not luxury brand), put the gas tank in the rear, so if it got rear ended it would explode in a big gas fire

companies are just dumb lol

[tranquil pebble]

I only have my laptop because I got it for really cheap

[tacit quiver]

but rarely are luxury buyers thinking about a lithium fire that probably wont happen 15 years down the line

[sinful blade]

Nothing laptop wise beats one of those beelink or whatever style pcs for work

Faster cpus, more storage, faster/more ram

Sometimes better gpus

[bitter ridge]

Ehh seems tedious compared to sub 2kg laptop

[tacit quiver]

don't even get me started on the galaxy fold or flip series 😭

[nocturne flicker]

Ford doesn't brand it self as the luxury brand that is at the cutting edge of technology that is superior to the lower companies it competes with, nor does Smasnug, who also got crapped all over for stuff like the battery fires

[bitter ridge]

I love my s25 edge and I think I will probably keep it for a few years more

[tacit quiver]

i thought we were talking about product safety now lol

all poor people deserve lithium fires!!!!

[nocturne flicker]

We were talking about Apple, a self proclaimed luxury brand, not having the nice materials universally

[tacit quiver]

oh lord

[tranquil pebble]

$180 USD, i7 13620H and 4060M

[nocturne flicker]

I provided an example in which they made a dumb choice with their product and then you defaulted to whataboutism

Still based on info from one anonymous source, so until Sony says something this is rumors and speculation

[dusk knot]

Wow... companies wanting to get richer. Go figure

[lethal jasper]

More ewaste yippee

[dusk knot]

And supporting a company that you don't make money off. Ok

[nocturne flicker]

What?

[dusk knot]

Forget about it. It's sad news for us

[lethal jasper]

Give them the switch treatment

[nocturne flicker]

Is it really? I can't remember a time I've even bought a Sony SP game

I just haven't been interested

[dusk knot]

Seems a lot of brand followers are happy

[lethal jasper]

Nintendo is kinda mid now anyways

[nocturne flicker]

Have been for ages

[lethal jasper]

Arent you limited to like 5 game franchises

[bitter ridge]

I am sad if INTERGALATIC doesn't come to pc

[nocturne flicker]

They got more third party games with Switch. But Switch is the Switch

[lethal jasper]

Mario, zelda and animal crossing

Huge

[tranquil pebble]

I hate how SSD storage costs so much rn

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, I mean they got some non-Nintendo associated ports

[lethal jasper]

Find old laptops and rip the nvme out

[dusk knot]

Tsk. What a bad day to be a gamer.

[nocturne flicker]

You can play Skyrim for the 10 millionth time on the Switch for some reason

[lethal jasper]

Colossal

Not even huge

[nocturne flicker]

There is no doubt more than just Skyrim I just pay so little attention to Nintendo that I don't know any

Actually I take it back wasn't Outer Wilds on Switch?

Not Outer Wilds

[opaque sedge]

those playstation fans are absolutely insufferable

[nocturne flicker]

The other one

Outer Worlds

[dusk knot]

I really dislike this news. It's only motivated by profits and people in the comments seem to be stuck in some fan club that wants outsiders to stay out unless you buy into their club which requires an entrance fee of buying a whole console.

[lethal jasper]

Rotating between 3 ea sports games, the 2 spiderman games and gta

[lethal jasper]

I hope they stay in because i do not want to be associated with them

In the club

[dusk knot]

Their mentally sickens me

[nocturne flicker]

Well yes, this is the fanbase consoles are supposed to cultivate. Unless you want to be Xbox

[dusk knot]

I prefer a unified gaming community.

[tranquil pebble]

I might end up putting 6 SATA SSDs and RAID them

[dusk knot]

Not some dumb borders dividing people, in this case hardware

[nocturne flicker]

And consoles can't survive with that

Again, Xbox

[dusk knot]

Smh. I thought the console/ PC war was over.

We're being set back a few years now

[nocturne flicker]

All because Xbox kicked the bucket

Or is kicking

[opaque sedge]

I for one just dont want to get a 500-800 dollar console which provides an arguably worse experience than current gen mid range pc hardware

[tranquil pebble]

AI Box will replace it

[dusk knot]

Exactly....

[dusk knot]

I really DON'T like this isolationist thing with these PlayStation fans

[opaque sedge]

Crazy thing bfr rammagedon u could make a 1000 dollar pc with a 7600x/9600x and a 9060xt 16gb for around a grand, 33% more money than a ps5pro for an incomparable gaming experience

[dusk knot]

Does this mean I need to buy Spider-Man 2 and Stellar Blade before it's too late?

[opaque sedge]

They’ve been hardwired to be have a narrow point of view given how games are structured on consoles I mean just look at the graphics settings

[nocturne flicker]

They aren't going to remove those at this point

[dusk knot]

They better not

[bitter ridge]

Already released games should be fine

[dusk knot]

I really don't like Xbox games to begin with.....man this sucks

[opaque sedge]

Delisting games alr on steam would be a bad move

[nocturne flicker]

It'll be like when EA left to make their own platform before they came crawling back

It's not about graphics, its availability to all that's the problem

[nocturne flicker]

Or rather one or two that could be just run on Steam

[tranquil pebble]

but they still force you to log in to their bs

[dusk knot]

Ok

[opaque sedge]

Steam sale gonna destroy jp’s wallet

[dusk knot]

Waiting for a good sale on those two games

I'm holding the line

[nocturne flicker]

Steam sales have been mid for a while now

[unreal trail]

my wallet is already in tatters

[mystic osprey]

i just want crimson desert

[nocturne flicker]

Ever since they stopped the games during the big sales I swear

[heady plinth]

They had ME legendary edition for $5 a few months ago. That sale was pretty good.

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/stressed-worried-anxious-rubbing-temples-oh-no-gif-10042095

[nocturne flicker]

That is an EA thing

[tranquil pebble]

I just hate sales that are like 5% off lol

[nocturne flicker]

EA does extremely steep discounts

[tranquil pebble]

unless its a launch sale or something

IIRC I got that kind of sale on a Persona 5 Royal steam key when it released

[heady plinth]

They don't even tag you in the wishlist for <20%.

[mystic osprey]

when ur company has so many dlcs for one game it totals to about 1500 dollars without sales i dont even wanna mention the name of the company anymore

[opaque sedge]

And crapcom tends to be generous with discounts too as much I hate to admit it, they usually discount their games within a year upon release it seems

[acoustic palm]

The sims?

[unreal trail]

any discounts under 20% are worthless

[dusk knot]

I don't want to play at 60fps on the PS7

[unreal trail]

PS7 isn't coming out, my friendo

[acoustic palm]

It’ll all be cloud gaming before then

[dusk knot]

You're Right. AI

[acoustic palm]

Actually no

It’ll be AI games

And every single thing about it is AI

[unreal trail]

AI generated games played by AI

[dusk knot]

AI generated hardware coming soon

I doubt I’ll care about the game industry when that time comes around

I barely care about it now

[tranquil pebble]

my opinion on the solution to that can't be expressed on this server lol

[unreal trail]

why is OG RE4 like 28GB on Switch?

[mystic osprey]

theres no point in fighting ai development tbh its gonna be in everything ever

get used to it

[acoustic palm]

Explosions

[acoustic palm]

It really won’t

[royal crow]

Doomer take

[acoustic palm]

It’s already failing in some places

[tranquil pebble]

are you trying to speedrun a world record for most energy wasted? lol

[acoustic palm]

In the places where it needs to fail especially

[mystic osprey]

it's fairly new in the grand scheme though

[acoustic palm]

Yeah it’s a useful thing

[royal crow]

I will be getting used to protesting ai

[acoustic palm]

For certain things

Also you can’t just “accept it”

[royal crow]

True

[acoustic palm]

If you just “accept it” nothing will happen

[dusk knot]

[royal crow]

All gen ai needs to die, full stop, but some predictive stuff is genuinely cool and is making the world better

[mystic osprey]

Im not even opposed to it as long as its not being used as a main tool that replaces creativity, i dont mind developers using ai to help with development at all though

[royal crow]

Like protein folding and cancer id'ing

[acoustic palm]

There is ONE use I can think of for Gen ai

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

Protein folding is genai no?

[royal crow]

No its predictive iirc

[acoustic palm]

Oh

Ok nvm I can think of zero uses for genai

[royal crow]

Lmao

[dusk knot]

AI good. People pushing it into our lives, bad

[royal crow]

*some Ai good

[rancid juniper]

Nvidia when they start vibe coding without human intervention

[tranquil pebble]

people creating mass shortages with it also bad

[royal crow]

Some useless

[acoustic palm]

There is most definitely incredibly good and useful things AI does

[royal crow]

Some bad

[acoustic palm]

That does not include basically anything for a consumer

[royal crow]

Some very bad

[acoustic palm]

Ahem ahem US gov ahem ahem

[mystic osprey]

idk i imagine later in my life when im in my 40s or 50 it will just be in everything tbh

at this rate

[royal crow]

Cough cough palantir cough cough

[dusk knot]

Yeah.. AI isn't demanding more RAM here

[tranquil pebble]

it gets me better links to sources than a basic search engine does. One of the only things Bing did right

[dusk knot]

Let's not talk about that here

[royal crow]

I do find the ability to use natural language to search something very nice

Edgar Allan poe

[acoustic palm]

I hate his stuff

[royal crow]

Wut why

[acoustic palm]

Idk

It’s so weird

[royal crow]

Its awesome

What have you read

[mystic osprey]

everytime i see a edgar quote its depressing

[acoustic palm]

Idk

I remember some weird thing one time

[royal crow]

That's the point

[mystic osprey]

but i dont wanna be depressed

[royal crow]

Then don't be..?

[acoustic palm]

If a quote makes you depressed

You might need some therapy ngl

[mystic osprey]

nah it just makes the vibe depressing

therapy is fake

they farming u

[acoustic palm]

Well that’s not that simple

You can’t just “not be depressed”

[royal crow]

Maybe yall can't but I can🔥

[tacit quiver]

i’ll drop this i swear but all i meant was like a $600 HP laptop at best buy is gonna be made of plastic and the $600 lenovo might be made of metal but has a weak hinge with a top heavy screen, the $600 macbook is gonna be made of aluminum and have a sleek thin screen. the material debate was more about the exterior of a product and how it feels in your hand, to touch, etc.

[acoustic palm]

Considering I’ve had like 5 different kinds of therapy and they all worked pretty well, idk about that

[royal crow]

It's called "suppressing your emotions a bit and watching a funny cat video"

[mystic osprey]

they just tell you what you wanna hear tbh. but if it worked for you good

[bitter ridge]

The cost of a therapy would make me go into further depression

[rancid juniper]

therapy would be less preferred if the therapist was being 100% real with you

[dusk knot]

"you're a loser. No one likes you"

[bitter ridge]

Since most people are depressed due to a lack of money

[dusk knot]

Imagine lmao

[acoustic palm]

And a 600$ MacBook is gonna have one usb port, a phone chip, little ram AND storage

[rancid juniper]

they gotta say something uplifting/motivational after that
damn

[dusk knot]

They bully you into bettering yourself

[acoustic palm]

If it works it works

[rancid juniper]

150% success rate

[dusk knot]

Depression terminated

Anxiety, gone.

[acoustic palm]

Life tip

Ask the therapist for their therapist, then that therapist for their therapist, go on till they don’t have one

[dusk knot]

What's the endgame?

[rancid juniper]

bro is trying to find patient 0

[acoustic palm]

Therapist 0

[dusk knot]

Wow

I would figure that person has it all figured out...

The therapist supreme

[mystic osprey]

poor people with depression would probably still be depressed with money

maybe just a little bit less 😂

[dusk knot]

Yeah just a little

But not gone

[acoustic palm]

Money can’t buy true happiness

[dusk knot]

Never can

It can be a good bandaid

Temporarily

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[dusk knot]

Better than being broke. It's a form of security after all.

But can't save you from everything

[mystic osprey]

only thing that currently depresses me is medical bills and taxes

[acoustic palm]

Dang

[wary fjord]

Its the ... "U hit a goal and now what?" Situation

[acoustic palm]

Hi tomie

[wary fjord]

Hi quok

[tacit quiver]

exactly, its a luxury because it prioritizes the experience over the practicality, if you don’t want a luxury, then get the $600 windows laptop that is more practical (it’s got 2 usb ports btw)

[acoustic palm]

What idiot prioritizes the feel of a laptop over any functionality

No offense but like

😭

[nocturne flicker]

Especially one targeted at students

[acoustic palm]

I mean I’m a student and I’m staying FARRRRR away from anything Apple

I hate anything and everything Apple makes (sole exception of the Apple IIe that thing is fun as heck)

[tacit quiver]

it’s because youre only looking at specs, not factoring in the battery life, the screen quality, the speaker quality, the iphone interoperability, the thinness and lightness, the trackpad, the typing experience, etc.

[nocturne flicker]

Sacrifice everything for aluminum

[acoustic palm]

It’s a PHONE chip with 8gb of ram and 256gb of storage

[tacit quiver]

and i also maintain macOS on 8gb of ram is better than windows on 16gb of ram

[acoustic palm]

It is going to struggle browsing the web

[tacit quiver]

i HIGHLY doubt that

[acoustic palm]

And I don’t

[tacit quiver]

it’s more powerful than the m1 macbook air which my friends all still use and get by just fine

[acoustic palm]

My grandpas Mac mini m4 with 256gb of storage and 16gb does

[tacit quiver]

your grandpa probably doesnt know how to quit an app lol

[acoustic palm]

He does

[tacit quiver]

like, cmd q?

[acoustic palm]

And when I used it the same thing happened

It’s just Apple bull crap

Nothing they make works right

[tacit quiver]

that’s just plain ignorant lol

[mystic osprey]

real men use android

[acoustic palm]

How so?

[tacit quiver]

“nothing they make works right”

[acoustic palm]

I’ve used an iPhone and MacBook for a decade now

They both utterly suck

[tacit quiver]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

mine have been great

[acoustic palm]

Ok

[tacit quiver]

intel macs sucked

[acoustic palm]

I’ve had a 10x easier time on my windows main and Linux server than anything Apple

And they’re not locked to Apple pricing and lackluster components

[tacit quiver]

windows in its current state is awful, shoving copilot down your throat, advertisements in the start menu and on microsoft edge, no proper mail client, not to mention the software bugs like the devs straight up admitting the “update and shut down” button was broken for years

[mystic osprey]

literally the only time i enjoyed a phone built by apple is when i jailbroke it

[acoustic palm]

I have none of that

Lmao

[acoustic palm]

My phone has screen time and it is TERRIBLE

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

[tacit quiver]

sure, because you’re probably competent enough to disable all that junk

[acoustic palm]

Utterly useless

[mystic osprey]

can u even jailbreak new iphones

or is that shit locked

down

[tacit quiver]

there’s really no need to anymore, unless you’re doing illegal stuff

[mystic osprey]

do they let u customize ur device in any way you want

[tacit quiver]

for the most part, yea

[acoustic palm]

It counts my timer for screen time, it counts my browser AND the webpage at the same time, and it activates hours early only to deactivate minutes before the time ends

[mystic osprey]

🤔

[acoustic palm]

Utterly shit

[tacit quiver]

you can put apps anywhere now, you can change colors and themes and app icons, etc.

[tacit quiver]

i don’t mean this in a condescending way but like what are you talking about 😭i just have no idea

[acoustic palm]

Features that other phones have had for how many years now

[acoustic palm]

Screen time

All of that happens

[mystic osprey]

yeah tbh apple is years behind in innovations when it comes to phones, but i get why people like apple. its very user friendly soo

but for people like me its not possible

[acoustic palm]

User friendly at the cost of basically everything else

[tacit quiver]

that argument is a fallacy because we’re not comparing old stuff, i openly admit intel macs were junk, the base iphone up until the 17 was not great, but in apple’s current state they have compelling hardware for reasonable prices

[acoustic palm]

How so

They’re bad at “innovation”

If the past doesn’t matter the future does

They will be slow to receive new things

[mystic osprey]

i know there is screen protectors that do this already but i lowkey might buy the s26 ultra just for the built in privacy screen

[acoustic palm]

Also you can buy a phone that’s better than a 17 pro for like 600$

[tacit quiver]

which one

and how many years of software updates will it get

[acoustic palm]

Honor Win RT

[mystic osprey]

no more peeping toms on the subway

[nocturne flicker]

None of the flagships series for Apple and Smasnug have new phones with any compelling hardware for a reasonable price. Just buy a gen or two older for a steep discount

[acoustic palm]

Actually arguably better than the 17pro

[tacit quiver]

i am not buying a phone off aliexpress lol

[nocturne flicker]

Who said that?

Ebay or Amazon

Easy

[tacit quiver]

[dusk knot]

I'm happy with my 5 year old phone

[tacit quiver]

[nocturne flicker]

No it isn't and you know it

oh it absolutely is

lemme check if the listing is shipped and sold by amazon

oh so its actually just not on the website at all

I can't get these pipes any straighter

im literally not 😭 i’d argue most people don’t want to buy a phone off ebay

and if you do it right with carrier deals, you can get most flagship phones for free anyways

[idle nexus]

tbh I kinda hate this but the Apex motherboard's DIMM slots are a lot further left than the Taichi's & I don't wanna re-route anything

Amazon's refurbs aren't bad. I got my son an S23 Ultra pretty cheap & it hasn't had any issues yet

[tacit quiver]

that’s good

[nocturne flicker]

I don't use a carrier that charges excessively for the privilege of using their service and a lot of people don't anymore. One of the ways cheaper carriers/service providers keep costs low is by getting rid of the phone deals

[tacit quiver]

yea ik that, i’ve sold phones for the past 5 years

They also make some good cars

I mean... it's possible but why tho lol

[acoustic palm]

Funny

[idle nexus]

probably expensive tbh

[acoustic palm]

But funny

[idle nexus]

I doubt it'd perform worse

[acoustic palm]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention

Use a different metal for every single fitting

what sucks about SS tubing is most listings are for like 6 inch ones

[acoustic palm]

Dang

[royal crow]

Still above average

[idle nexus]

two 12" sticks are like $16

kinda rough

aluminum sticks look really nice but that would be a galvanic disaster

& carbon fiber is like unsafe to cut apparently

[nocturne flicker]

And for those of us who don't need 30gb of uncapped speed on a hotspot we'll gladly not pay an extra 50-60 a month for phone service

[tacit quiver]

all of your arguments rely on lol

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, I just over use it, this is a thing

If you lookup how many times I've used it you'll note it is just way too many times in any situation

[tacit quiver]

$160/mo for 4 lines with 4 free phones is a pretty sweet deal lol (referencing Verizon’s Unlimited Plus)

and then after 3 years you just jump to AT&T and get their new customer deals

and then after 3 years you do the same thing going back to Verizon

[tacit quiver]

and 30gb mobile hotspot per line!!!!

and ultrawideband!!!!!

[lone mango]

I’ll only call them good if they can stand the test of time

[nocturne flicker]

I've got one person I need to buy for. I pay exactly $35 for the line, I get unlimited everything but my hotspot is capped to 10mbps, which is only something I ever use if I have to and even then it is fine. I get the exact same network coverage as Verizon proper, I get the same access to UW, all I did was trade away most phone deals, any and all contract requirements, and get slightly worse customer support

I like a good pear but not a bad pear

[velvet summit]

Just HDMI by itself should have audio captured by the capture card

Just need to set an audio input source on obs

[nocturne flicker]

I just don't like them

I never even had a pear until I was an early teen though so there is also that

[velvet summit]

if i made a fruit teir list, a good pear probably ranks around low-mid A

pineapple would be high A

grapes.... maybe a low B

lemme see if anybody made a template for a fruit teir list lmao

[nocturne flicker]

I despise pineapple

Right next to grapefruit

[icy ore]

Can’t do grapefruit bc SSRI

But I do like pineapple

[velvet summit]

pineapple missing from list somehow

also i should say cranberries are there because i dont like fresh cranberries much

dried cranberries in butter cookies i do like a fair bit

cranberry sauce is also decent, but it would still only be bumped up to b

my rankings are of the fruits by themselves with nothing else

(yes i eat limes and lemons by themselves on occasion)

[nocturne flicker]

Green apple good though

[velvet summit]

i dont like the skin

[nocturne flicker]

I don't either but I still like the flavor

[velvet summit]

wait

[icy ore]

maybe I just don’t like fruit

[velvet summit]

i did have pineapple but i didnt even notice i ranked it lmfao

Don't worry most of those'll go into I've never had for me

God mango is the worst fruit ever

[velvet summit]

[nocturne flicker]

Why is raisin its own fruit

[icy ore]

Even the smell of mango makes me sick

[velvet summit]

idk

maybe you're allergic to it or something...

[icy ore]

Yeah why raisin but no craisin

[velvet summit]

everyone i know who has had mango loves mango

or at least doesnt hate it

[nocturne flicker]

I used to hate oranges too. I like them more now. Orange juice is disgusting though

[velvet summit]

orange juice is way too sweet most of the time ngl

[acoustic palm]

dang

i love mango

its like top 3 foods for me

😭

[nocturne flicker]

Orange juice is just sickly sweet to me

I'd rather drink Sunny D than actual orange juice and Sunny D is terrible

[velvet summit]

durian is one of those fruits that you either love of absolutely cant stand, so i completely understand why it's a D for a fair bit of people

[velvet summit]

sunny d is even sweeter though

[nocturne flicker]

I water it down

[velvet summit]

💀

[nocturne flicker]

Watered down orange juice just tastes terrible

Because then it just has a general off taste when watered down

[velvet summit]

my mom if she ever has anything too sweet typically adds like lemon juice to things that are to sweet to cut some sweetness with the tart

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind the last time I had Sunny D was like 4 years ago

[misty sparrow]

mango?

[velvet summit]

i've not had sunny d in probably like 8 years at this point

[nocturne flicker]

Good

[icy ore]

between mango and cantaloupe worst fruits imo

also I should note fig is ok if it’s in something I guess but I will not eat a fig on its own because the thought of the wasps and their babies inside freaks me tf out

[acoustic palm]

@tropic relic if you want a case with a screen get an O11 vision compact and buy a screen for it

[tropic relic]

its just a box

[acoustic palm]

thats what a pc case is

[tropic relic]

and horizontal mount

although it is spacious

[acoustic palm]

wdym

every case has a horizontal mount...

[tropic relic]

50% of the reason i want the y70 is because it's an aquarium case meant for display, but also offers a ton of space and qol features in the case, it's a vertical mount with a nice looking riser cable, and the screen comes preconnected, and i like the shape of the case and where the screen is, and all the inputs and stuff are at the bottom because they assume it will stand on your desk

didnt mean to drop an xt

[acoustic palm]

its a fishtank which is pretty damn standard, it offers verry little qol features, vertical mounts are nothing special you can just buy one, the screen is a full on gimmick, many other cases have a similar shape, and the inputs at the bottom is also pretty normal

😭

im sorry but it seems youve fallen for the
"oooh expensive it must be good"

not really

i just like the design

i would like to spend less or find a nice looking alternative but the y70 touch is unique to my knowledge

nobody is making a case like it

h6 flow

[tropic relic]

also i dont really fw this

[acoustic palm]

i mean

its your money

but at the VERY least dont get the stupid one with the screen

[acoustic palm]

the regular one is still absurdly overpriced but its not nearly as bad the infinte one

[tropic relic]

man

i wouldnt even buy the nontouch ones tbh

[acoustic palm]

ok then dont buy the case

[tropic relic]

i would just get a v100 atp

[acoustic palm]

its a complete waste of money

😭

[tropic relic]

but i really like that it has a ips screen built into the panel facing you, and it has all the added benefits of a spacious expensive case, but damn its 400$

i could upgrade the gpu to round it out

[acoustic palm]

i dont really see the point of spacious case

it really doesnt offer much

[tropic relic]

im already getting a 9800

[acoustic palm]

anything above a 9070xt is far too expensive rn

[tropic relic]

tbh im just really tired of boxes and the y70 touch specifically, i really like, and its not like a part that i will replace eventually, it could very well just last me forever

[tropic relic]

not even a 5080

or 5070ti

[acoustic palm]

its equal is 200$ more

its EQUAL

[tropic relic]

well dont let the nvidia glazers see that

[acoustic palm]

a 5080 (17% better) is 600$ more

[tropic relic]

they will slander you for talking bad about their 2-5% better gpu

that costs 200$ more

[acoustic palm]

mmmmm

i alr got banned in the biggest nvidia discord

[tropic relic]

lmaoo

i got double muted in pc help hub for talking about the y70 touch

[acoustic palm]

i just messed around the mods got angry i said "NgreedAI" and they banned me

[tropic relic]

sounds about right

only pc server mods that i have actually liked are the ones in newegg

[acoustic palm]

same

AMD server ones were ok but then the main mod left and it all went to shit

[tropic relic]

jp and roomba have helped me in the fast a few times and foxy actually helped me find a laptop

i bought the same one she recommended me

1500$ for a predator helios neo 16 5070ti

[acoustic palm]

i wanna get a laptop so bad rn

[tropic relic]

[dusk knot]

Me, useful? Wth

[tropic relic]

pc help hub ones dont really interact with anybody until they get called in

[acoustic palm]

JP

trust me the other servers mods are 100x worse

[tropic relic]

but once they do, everybody is getting punished, doesnt matter who is right or wrong

and trying to argue your case, = more ban time

[acoustic palm]

in AMD one of the mods temp banned me for defending a friend on why they didnt get a drivers license

[dusk knot]

We actually like interacting and helping people that's why

[tropic relic]

i believe you

atp im like desensitized to the y70 slander

i can explain why i like it but at the end of the day, its a bad purchase that i might still make out of love for the design

[dusk knot]

Crazy

[tropic relic]

400$ for a case i can use forever idkkk

[acoustic palm]

ima be so real

im tempted to get a 128gb model of the laptop i want

[tropic relic]

you would be surprised what can trigger people to say absolutely insane things

[acoustic palm]

simply for the funny

[velvet summit]

forever until the usb breaks or button breaks ong

[acoustic palm]

jp

what did you do

[velvet summit]

i was crazy once

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-impossible-marvel-shocked-gif-15104180

I kid

This server has some of the best mods

Plz no ban

[acoustic palm]

@dusk knot what did bro do 😭

[dusk knot]

I didn't do anything. I just got something to eat

[acoustic palm]

my guy got muted

[dusk knot]

Oh I see now

Yeah. You can't say the R word @tropic relic

[nocturne flicker]

Wuh

[tropic relic]

oh you unmuted me

[dusk knot]

Yes

[tropic relic]

yeah i didnt even think about the automute bot tbh

[dusk knot]

Please do next time

[tropic relic]

yes sir

i remember when i was in highschool i could slam a whole 8oz bag of hot cheetos

now it takes me 3 days to finish one

[acoustic palm]

hot cheetos

i havent had those in

years

[tropic relic]

dude

i was steady slamming jalapeno cheetos since a baby

been building this spice tolerance my whole life

[acoustic palm]

dang

[tropic relic]

i remember my first hot cheeto

omg

[acoustic palm]

i LOVE medium spicy

i cant do spicy spicy

im alr warm blooded

[tropic relic]

have you had deadly spice tho

inedible

[acoustic palm]

i cant handle anything above like

[nocturne flicker]

The worst thing about Flamin Hot Cheetos is the stupid red dye

[acoustic palm]

buffalo chicken spicy

[acoustic palm]

RED 40

my beloved

[tropic relic]

lmao i went to hotwings and asked for the hottest wings there

[nocturne flicker]

Why can't they just not add dye to seasonings

[acoustic palm]

the funny

[tropic relic]

1 was a challenge, my buddy ate 4 and was in pain all day

[tropic relic]

its a psychology thing

red = hotter and more flavor

[idle nexus]

Looks alright

[dusk knot]

I'm currently processing your fate. Please standby.

[tropic relic]

also why does nvidia cards not have fans in the front

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-snapped-sad-gif-22165289

[acoustic palm]

hmmmm

[tropic relic]

i never understood that

[acoustic palm]

im 50 words over on my essay

[nocturne flicker]

Just don't put 50 words above your essay duh

[elfin mural]

you mean the reference 50 series?

it's how they look

[tropic relic]

yeah

how do they cool off

[elfin mural]

they do have fans

[idle nexus]

remove unnecessary prepositional phrases. Change passive to active voice. Change to possessive

[acoustic palm]

effort

[craggy shoal]

Fan

[elfin mural]

they're just hidden from view

[acoustic palm]

chatgpt will do it for me

😛
