[gusty iron]

drop the topic

maybe soon you understand about this

[queen knot]

I understand a lot is unsupport on 7

[gusty iron]

its not about program support

and if the program u using doesnt require internet

you can use it any window iwth the support without thinking or worrying if it will get discontinued or unresponsive on that version of window

[queen knot]

Well I use an offline version of premiere pro 2017 , no creative cloud

[gusty iron]

oh

gl and enjoy

[queen knot]

Thx mate

[gusty iron]

so ig you are a content creator or editor

[queen knot]

Well sorta I dont do it much but it is one of the only video editing programs I know well

[gusty iron]

gl bro

enjoy

[queen knot]

thank u !

[gusty iron]

but you need later version for new things

and features

[queen knot]

I don't care about the latest stuff

[gusty iron]

even if you dont want

[queen knot]

Why

[simple fable]

THANKS FOR SAYING IT 😭

[queen knot]

Nice👿

I should and I tried to

But they still wont switch to 7

Horrible.

okay ...

ok !

[scarlet acorn]

the brain rot..

[scarlet acorn]

I decided to run Ubuntu over Windows 11 because the sound driver was pain

[dusk flame]

What is this brainrotting garbage???

[scarlet acorn]

Bro lost their cool

[queen knot]

Ubuntu is far better than 10 and 11

[scarlet acorn]

Tried Linux Mint before this but had some issues with the scaling

[kind vapor]

What's Ubuntu?

[scarlet acorn]

A Linux distro

[kind vapor]

Gotcha, thanks for telling me :D

[simple fable]

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/H88BdH any recommendations?

[dusk flame]

🤮

Disgusting.

[queen knot]

I know

[scarlet acorn]

Your list looks alright although you should note these two things

The RAM sticks is from a fairly unknown 3rd party, that may or may not cause your BIOS to not recognize it's XMP profiles or refuse to POST. Another choice could be the HyperX Fury Beast or the Corsair Vengeance

Power Supply is 850W, try going for 1000W so you can give yourself a little more headroom for AMDs PBO Curve and your graphics card to draw more power

[simple fable]

Alright thanks

[kind vapor]

[scarlet acorn]

Your list now is complete c:

[simple fable]

Thanks :D

[hazy birch]

So uhhh apparently I can't update my Windows to the latest version anymore

whenever I try to download certain updates it just gives me an 0x80070020 error

I've googled and this error seems to arise whenever there are some apps preventing the system from updating or smth

💀 I think I'll just have to reinstall windows at this point

[simple fable]

damn

[simple fable]

im stealing the waifu

:3

[scarlet acorn]

lol

[hazy birch]

wdym damn I need help

It wouldn't be too big of an issue but I want to download myself Japanese keyboard

And I kinda want to

[simple fable]

Idk how to help

[simple fable]

Btw

Will pbo/xmp work on b650?

Like

Would it be too much

[scarlet acorn]

pbo is your cpu, it goes automatically depending on thermals, XMP is fully supported in the BIOS

xmp unlocks the true speed of your ram sticks

[queen knot]

WHY

[dusk flame]

Uhh... I think your hard drive is out my g

[queen knot]

No

[dusk flame]

huh

weird

[queen knot]

It is possible the Microsoft NVMe hotfix for Win7 could not support it ?

[dusk flame]

Its microsoft, do you need anymore information?
Maybe? Im not sure, Im on win 10 so Idr know much about win7, My dad is a tech guy tho, if you need some help with that. Im learning more recent stuff from him.

[queen knot]

Tbh I don't really care about using Crystal Disk, I am just happy to NOT be using Win10 or 11 😄

[scarlet acorn]

I just don't care really

[willow edge]

Anyone play Fort in here?

[scarlet acorn]

Although i need to replace some disks today cuz they are about to die

[queen knot]

Do u have the 990 Pro

[scarlet acorn]

No, I just bought a generic Seagate HDD for my storage server

[queen knot]

Well for other stuff besides OS hard drive is better

although if u use Win2000 or XP or earlier they are actually light enough to run well on a hard drive, which is how it should be

[scarlet acorn]

Noted, although I already know this

[queen knot]

My main PC only has NVMe and my optical drive, because there is no way in hell I would ever use a computer without a DVD drive. Not having an internal DVD drive is just like not having a headphone jack. But I have my 16TB hard drive in my Windows 8 i7 2600 rig, which is over the network

[scarlet acorn]

I still cling to my external DVD drive for my personal computer, just in case

I don't have it powered on but I keep it on the side

Now to check if PostNord delivered my hard drive in one piece or not

[queen knot]

An external USB dvd drive is the equivalent of a 3.5mm to usb dongle to plug in my earbuds. No thank u.

[scarlet acorn]

never mind then

[scarlet acorn]

lets see what CDI says about it

now to transfer 113GB from the old failing RAID 0 array to the new disk

[scarlet acorn]

I have been thinking of running a distro of Linux on my file server although I haven't found one I like yet

[dusty cliff]

Use arch

(this is a joke)

[scarlet acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-stare-100-yard-stare-meme-gif-251436459491629941

i got the joke

[dusty cliff]

Good

[scarlet acorn]

was maybe thinking Free or TrueNAS

im not sure if that distro has support for NTFS

[dusty cliff]

Yeah I'm not sure either

[queen knot]

I need new phone, which phone do I get ?

[chilly wyvern]

I phone 11 is like 200$ probably less and has served me well for 3 years

[queen knot]

I should get iPhone 11 ?

Or do I get Samsung

[chilly wyvern]

Well if you want Samsung go for it

As an I phone id suggest 12 or 11 rn

Idk about Samsungs phones so

[queen knot]

I hear that iPhone is much cooler to have so I may get iPhone

[chilly wyvern]

Buy whatever you want

I aint stoppin you

[queen knot]

If I get iPhone do I need to buy AirPod ? Or can I use my wired earbuds

[chilly wyvern]

You can buy a cord that connects your earbuds to your charging port

But it doesn’t have a headphone port :(

[queen knot]

Oh I don't want a dongle

[queen knot]

I guess I am giving up my perfectly good earbuds . Maybe wireless is better ?

I don't think so

[chilly wyvern]

i use headphones that are wireless

they were cheaper then air pods

[queen knot]

I still use 3.5mm jack earbuds , I love analog , just like I still use Win7

[chilly wyvern]

nothin wrong with earbuds

[queen knot]

I used to prefer headphones but I have gotten used to earbuds over the years

[chilly wyvern]

well do what you want

[scarlet acorn]

Windows Phone 7

[queen knot]

Preferably iphOne

[kind vapor]

I have a wireless headset as well

[dusk flame]

So do I.

[kind vapor]

I also have a gaming wired headset

I'll send pictures tomorrow

[queen knot]

OK

[queen knot]

What are u up to Now.

[kind vapor]

I am listening to music

[queen knot]

It is almost 23 and I am force to go to Bed ...

[kind vapor]

Also, I am trying to catch up with channels and pings

[kind vapor]

We can chat sometime tomorrow

[queen knot]

Ok ...

[kind vapor]

I hope you rest well

[queen knot]

U too mate

[kind vapor]

Thanks :D

[queen knot]

No problem

[kind vapor]

:)

[simple fable]

A budget samsung would last you 2-3 years and gets 3/2 years of software updated and 3/4 of security updates

My sister has a 64gb iPhone 11 and it still runs smooth

Ios is also more secure

[warm merlin]

I personally use Motorola, but that is more a personal preference. They work well and arent crazy expensive.

[queen knot]

Android has gotten far more secure over the years, and it is still far more customizable than iOs

[dusty cliff]

It’s gotten more secure yes, but IOS as a very closed OS will always be more secure than Android as a more open OS that allows more

[queen knot]

Sold. I am going with iPhone. I want my device as secure as can be

[simple fable]

yeah

it isnt as customizable tho

[queen knot]

Plus I want to get iPhone because I want to look cool

[simple fable]

a phone doesnt make u look cool

nothing will change if i get a 1000+ phone

[queen knot]

Well apple user tends to think this way and also , "Android are for Poor People "

[simple fable]

androids are for poor people

yes ofc

fun fact

you can get a phone for 650 with a headphone jack with all the latest specs

[grim haven]

When I had to buy a new phone, here's what one of my friends told me.
iPhone is at best up to others in most things.
And in a lot they are worse
Want fast charging? Go with Xiaomi.
Want best photos? Go with Google Pixel, because people like that the most.
Want best voice recognition? Google Pixel.
Want the best gaming phone? Asus ROG phone.
Want repair ability? Fair phone.
Want to be locked to one company, so you don't have any choice but to buy from them, not being able to repair it yourself? Apple

[simple fable]

i mean yeah this is pretty much it lol

[queen knot]

So long story short , apple sucks .

[grim haven]

He knows a bunch about tech stuff, so good thing I remembered this

[simple fable]

apple is only good if you have evrything

macbook airpods ipad

apple is also more premium

[queen knot]

More premium PRICE , but cheaply made

[simple fable]

idk ask @dusty cliff they have an iphone 15 pro

but i dont think they are cheaply made

sure- they are made in china but these days everything is made in china

[queen knot]

They don't let u repair anything , and several years ago they tried selling a mac stand for like $1000

And of course Apple fans bought it

[simple fable]

iphones are repairable

its just hard

[queen knot]

Samsung and iPhone is far harder to repair these days than any other brand

[grim haven]

In the end, I bought a Xiaomi phone. A Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G

[queen knot]

I don't want 5G

[simple fable]

watch some reviews

[grim haven]

Fair

[queen knot]

After all this, I may know which phone to buy, I will need to suprise u.

[simple fable]

no need to

idrc which phone you get

[queen knot]

Ok

I may get the Ulefone Armor 24.

[ionic bison]

https://youtu.be/J1sIZguHwp0?si=g16cFZVPAcUPRi7W

[grim haven]

I think it's because of the marketing. From what I've heard from my friend, that's the only thing they're good at. Marketing.
Their phones are mostly only as good, as others, while others are willing to try new features, like folding, 130W charging etc. And he doesn't trust anything Apple says. Apparently, they said "enough wrong things or scammy things" for him. He also hates Macbooks

[simple fable]

apple simply wants to do it the "apple way"

[grim haven]

This 👏

[queen knot]

Yup , does ur friend enjoy Win7 ?

[grim haven]

He has issues with Windows-

He also works with Linux, if I remember correctly

[queen knot]

Of course he does , he uses 10 or 11

[queen knot]

I try Linux several times

[grim haven]

Probably 11. He started getting into PCs in 2020

He had more issues with Windows rather than Linux

[dusty cliff]

Apple is basically for people who like clean UI, want guarantees that it’s gonna be safe & that don’t care too much for customisation

[dusty cliff]

Linux it’s hard to have issues with if you just know how it works tbh, it’s a clean OS & There’s millions of distros for it too

[queen knot]

Android is quite safe though , it is far harder to root Android than it used to be , and you still need permissions for pretty much everything , all while still being very customizable

[grim haven]

Yeah. Linux is a different operating system, which is open source and everyone can make their own. Also has the good things because of it, that there are a lot of free versions, I believe

[gloomy plover]

Basically every version of linux is free to use. There's a couple mainly red hat, and SUSE that you have to pay for

[gloomy plover]

Fun fact. Android is based on the linux kernel

[queen knot]

I know , and Linux is very locked down

[dusty cliff]

Correct,

macOS is also Unix/linux based

[gloomy plover]

Yes and no

[dusty cliff]

Linux is the opposite

[gloomy plover]

Mac doesn't have any Linux code in it.

[grim haven]

Linux does what you tell it. Can make it harder, but also helpful.
Windows does everything you don't want it to do

[dusty cliff]

Depending on the distro you choose to use it can be the most open source system out there

[gloomy plover]

It was based on BSD which was the University of Berkely distribution of Unix.

[queen knot]

You need permissions for everything u do , it is fucking irritating , u need to enter root password

[grim haven]

Have you ever used a steam deck before?

[dusty cliff]

Mac uses the same bash/zsh system for the terminal - a carbon 1 to 1 really

[gloomy plover]

Bash isn't linux. It's GNU

[queen knot]

Not yet , I need to put Windows 7 on it

[grim haven]

Ah alright

[gloomy plover]

Bash existed in Unix long before linux was a thing. One of the first things Linus posted about his new kernel was that he was able to port GNU into his new kernel.

[dusty cliff]

That’s a config you can change - use sudo once and enter the password & then you can just use sudo without the need for a password every time

[gloomy plover]

As long as you don't close the terminal.

[dusty cliff]

Correct

Or just run the terminal as root user /j

(Bad advise, don’t actually do this)

[gloomy plover]

Or you could just log into root, or just run

sudo su

[queen knot]

Why not

[gloomy plover]

It makes it so any code running on that account has full access to the files.

Including root partition.

[dusty cliff]

As root user there’s no limitations to what you can do through the terminal, meaning if you’re uncertain of what you’re doing you can easily break something

Everything in Linux is a file after all- every command is a file, an external storage that you mount is its own file, etc

[queen knot]

I am just happy with maining Win7. Super easy to use , and Android, despite being Linux, is also easy to use for me

[dusty cliff]

accidentally breaking something can happen a lot faster logged in as root

[dusty cliff]

Android has grown so much that even though it’s based on Linux, it can’t really be classified as Linux anymore

It’s just its own thing

[queen knot]

Android is awesome

I just wish it didn't have Google's bullshit

[dusty cliff]

I switched to IOS recently & im happy with the change, I didn’t really have an issue with android itself, but more with the hardware it was running on (Samsung)

[dusty cliff]

That’s where custom OS roms come in

:)

[queen knot]

I am kinda done with samsung at this point

They have pretty much turned into Apple , they removed the headphone jack and sd slot

[dusty cliff]

I’m just done with their phones because of the whole exynos chipset here in Europe, how bad of a performance drop that gives compared to the exact same phone but released in the USA with the snapdragon

[simple fable]

FR 😭

[dusty cliff]

That’s not on Samsung or apple - that’s simply the world evolving again

[simple fable]

kill exynos

ffs

[dusty cliff]

Kill or actually make them compete with snapdragon

[queen knot]

Snapdragon is faster but far harder to root

[simple fable]

exactly

[queen knot]

Removing two essential features is not evolving

[simple fable]

okay so tell me

gen z

[dusty cliff]

Doesn’t matter - the snapdragon runs like 30 C cooler than exynos under high load

[simple fable]

who uses a 3,5mm jack

in 2024

[queen knot]

Not the point

That does not make it right for a $1000 phone to not have it or an sd slot

[simple fable]

they needed space for a bigger battery yk

[dusty cliff]

They weren’t essential - both companies released multiple Bluetooth earbuds & other companies adapted too, there have been Bluetooth headsets for forever & the quality & ease of use of that finally was greater than adding a 3.5mm port

[simple fable]

or the spen

that a few people actully use

[grim haven]

Forgot to ask one thing. Do you have an RGB in any of your devices? c:

[queen knot]

22000 mAh battery AND SD and also 3.5 mm jack. **ulefone armor 24

[queen knot]

No not really

[simple fable]

thats basically a 2020 phone with a perma case\

[dusty cliff]

So you’d rather have a micro sd card slot, 3.5mm jack & a smaller screen, lower overall brightness, 60 Hz over 120Hz, slower network speeds (3G/4G over 5G) and a smaller 2500 mAh battery ?

That’s called going backwards

[queen knot]

4g is 100% fine

[grim haven]

This looks pretti c:

[simple fable]

ips lcd

[grim haven]

https://tenor.com/view/rgb-gif-23738456

[dusty cliff]

It works - yet a lot of people like 4K as their standard now, and streaming on 4K@60fps is a lot better on 5G over 4G

[queen knot]

the armor 24 has 120hz display

[grim haven]

Ah oki

[dusty cliff]

4G can at best handle 1080P@60fps

[dusty cliff]

Yet its smaller

[simple fable]

@dusty cliff look at my new phone

[dusty cliff]

LMAO REAL

[queen knot]

Good enough, I was happy with 3G also

[dusty cliff]

A friend of mine is getting the fair phone 5 soon

[simple fable]

6000mah is okay for most people

no one needs 24k mah

[dusty cliff]

Nahh, it’s really not anymore

[simple fable]

or 22

[dusty cliff]

1080p is full HD, nowadays every screen has 4K UHD built in

Heck my tv runs 720p and I hate it

[simple fable]

li poly battery

[queen knot]

No

[dusty cliff]

My 15 pro runs like 3600 mAh?

Something like that

I can easily last a full day with that

Software optimisation go bbbrrrr

[simple fable]

3 274

[simple fable]

yeah

[dusty cliff]

Ah yeah

That’s the one

[gloomy plover]

I have a samsung galaxy s23 that I got last semester. Sure I was a little let down by the fact I couldn't have a microsd slot, but it doesn't bother me now because it has plenty of storage space.

[simple fable]

256 should be enough for me

[dusty cliff]

I got a 1TB external Samsung ssd with USB-C for as little as 80€

[gloomy plover]

The audio jack I never used anyways. It just filled up with lint.

[dusty cliff]

And it runs on all my devices

[dusty cliff]

Exactly

[gloomy plover]

Samsung is also making a really nice ecosystem of tech.

[simple fable]

yeah

[dusty cliff]

It’s alright - they are promoting staying within Samsung only more lately though

Marching apple more in eco system spaces

[queen knot]

I use it all the Time.

[dusty cliff]

Definitely not as restricted as apple itself but they are going towards there, for example the Samsung watch only giving its full 100% use on a compatible Samsung device

[simple fable]

whats wrong with a dongle btw?

[dusty cliff]

Just annoying

Speaking from experience with my MacBook

[simple fable]

alr\

[queen knot]

It is not the same and it wears out the USB port

[dusty cliff]

2 usb-C ports of which 1 is also the charge port is quite ehh

[dusty cliff]

CAP

Definitely doesn’t wear it out

[queen knot]

Capacitor ?

[gloomy plover]

Any USB port can be worn out, it's just that USB-C is more resiliant.

[dusty cliff]

Theres no difference In directly plugging something in or through a dongle

It doesn’t wear out the port faster for any reason

[gloomy plover]

The dongle give a bit more length to the cable.

[simple fable]

nooo i will stop charging my phone at night because it wears out the usb port

[queen knot]

I just like having a 3.5mm jack

[dusty cliff]

That’s honestly everything

[dusty cliff]

And that’s fair but don’t expect modern devices to have it is all

[queen knot]

Some do😈

[dusty cliff]

Mobile phones really don’t

[simple fable]

the redmagic 9 pro does

[dusty cliff]

Not the main 80% of the market at least

[queen knot]

They are usually more unknown brands

[gloomy plover]

There isn't really space in the newer phones for them because of how thin they are.

[simple fable]

yeah

[dusty cliff]

Exactly

[simple fable]

some less known brands have it

[dusty cliff]

Correct

[queen knot]

How about STOP MAKING PHONES SO FUCKING THIN

[dusty cliff]

How about no?

[simple fable]

nahh i want a pen inside my phone

[dusty cliff]

Phones are supposed to be portable

Thinner & lighter phones are very much preferred overall

[queen knot]

Eventually we will have paper phone

[simple fable]

never

[dusty cliff]

That’s stronger than titanium ;)

[queen knot]

with no USB port

[dusty cliff]

Thin as paper, fully wireless & stronger than diamond

A see through glass slab

[queen knot]

We will , because big corporations just keep making them thinner and lighter

[gloomy plover]

https://tenor.com/view/no-drevil-gif-19685425

[dusty cliff]

Thank you!

[gloomy plover]

Apart from the new iphone the new phones coming out may be thin, but still durable.

[simple fable]

i dont want my phone to feel like some cheap chinese earbuds

[dusty cliff]

The 15 pro max really missed its chance with the titanium, the 15 pro I could feels a lot more solid though

Probably because it’s smaller

[queen knot]

Ye

[gloomy plover]

I saw a clip from a hardware unboxed video where he was able to easily bend an iphone 15 pro. Yet he struggled with an s23 pro

[dusty cliff]

Either I got lucky with my model then or he got unlock with his. This one I’ve tested and it won’t bend with the force I’ve put on it so far

[gloomy plover]

One thing I noticed with the new phones is the weight. They're thin but have some heft to them.

[dusty cliff]

Depends on which one honestly - compare a 14 pro & a 15 pro and the 15 feels noticeably lighter thanks to the titanium, same with the 23 ultra vs 24 ultra

[gloomy plover]

Also, ultrafast charging is very nice.

[dusty cliff]

Agreed, 25 Watts charging is honestly enough for me already & then I hear Chinese companies with 180 watt charging I’m like wtfff..

[queen knot]

Its impressive

[dusty cliff]

Good thing about the switch I made is that both my MacBook & iPhone can switch charger & they’ll both still charge

The MacBook has a 30W charger & my iPhone has a 25w one

And it works fine for both really

Same with my external 1Tb ssd, it works on all my devices, windows laptop, MacBook Air, iPhone - old Samsung 21 ultra (selling it soon)

[simple fable]

youre weak /j

[queen knot]

Here I am trying to get stronger

[dusty cliff]

Correct, I am

Why do you think I’m going to the gym?

[simple fable]

to get muscle

[queen knot]

How to build muscle ?

[dusty cliff]

Honestly - I just wanna get toned, not look extremely muscular

[dusty cliff]

That’s- like 80% diet & eating - 20% muscle strength training

[queen knot]

I can eat all the fast food ?

[dusty cliff]

definitely don’t do that

Not if you want muscle

[queen knot]

I eat pretty well these days , I would love 300 pound of muscle

[gloomy plover]

My strength training was my jobs I've had in the past.

[dusty cliff]

That’s just insane, don’t expect to get that

[simple fable]

imagine

[queen knot]

well i could get fat AND muscular

[dusty cliff]

That’s like 137 kg of just muscle

[queen knot]

but I have fast metabolism

[simple fable]

xyph

[dusty cliff]

Yeee

[simple fable]

16gigs should be enough for school right?

[dusty cliff]

Ram?

Yeah totally

[queen knot]

32 is good , 8 is also good , even 4

[simple fable]

alr alr

[simple fable]

4 is good for phones out of 201X

[dusty cliff]

High school I ran a 4GB ddr4 ram laptop

[simple fable]

8 is good for budget laptops

[queen knot]

Or if u run it on Win7

[simple fable]

and 32 is enough for gaming

[dusty cliff]

Schools don’t allow that here

[simple fable]

damn

[dusty cliff]

Win 10/11 or macOS is the minimum basically

[queen knot]

My high end Dell laptop from 2013 has 8GB DDR3

[dusty cliff]

Security updates & such

[simple fable]

i have 8 gigs of ddr4

[queen knot]

What happens if u run 7

[dusty cliff]

Yeah you’re fine then

[dusty cliff]

Won’t be able to participate in most classes. Miss necessary software & such

Might not be able to do certain online exams cuz you’re outdated

[queen knot]

Use old version , its what I did

[dusty cliff]

Doesn’t exist

Custom software made for the school

[simple fable]

we only have windows 10/11 laptops

even shit from 2017 or so got updated to 11

[queen knot]

The online website I use for my math course blocks artificially blocks anything prior to Windows 8.0

It is super easy though to spoof the user agent on Firefox

So now it thinks its on Win10

It works fine

[gloomy plover]

There's an extension that does that. I have it installed so I can play BF3

[queen knot]

I go to the about:config settings on Firefox, I don't use an extension

[dusty cliff]

Yeah- that's easy to modify on a browser, here they've gotten specific apps developed you gotta install and run for exams

[queen knot]

I was using a Win7 laptop when I went to high school, everything I needed worked fine

For a couple days I even tried brining an older laptop that was running XP

But the laptop was too slow

[dusty cliff]

I've been using a macbook for the last year

and I'm 1 of the 2 students in my class that use a macbook and we're both finee

Also, they don't sound like jet engines going up like most windows gaming laptops

[queen knot]

I will never buy a MacBook , they dont have DVD drives or ethernet ports

[dusty cliff]

Outdated & not necessary

[queen knot]

Its what makes it badass

[dusty cliff]

for the ethernet port just get a docking station

[simple fable]

its worth the 200 bucks tbf

[dusty cliff]

Genuinely

[simple fable]

you basically get everything

[dusty cliff]

I wanna get one but it's like 300 or 400€

[simple fable]

ethernet hdmi

usb

thu nderbolt

[queen knot]

If I buy a $2000 laptop it better have an onboard ethernet port

[simple fable]

most gaming laptops have them

it just ads thickness

unless

its one of thos elfippy floppy ports

[queen knot]

That's good

[dusty cliff]

Really not necessary, if you buy a 2000$ laptop and it has 64 gb of ram, 4 tb of storage & a strong M3 max Chip from Apple you can understand the 2k pricetag

without it needing all those ports

@simple fable I wanna get this one

[simple fable]

nice nice

[queen knot]

Ethernet controller is not that expensive to add

[dusty cliff]

Not about the price

about the devices design

[gloomy plover]

Oh. Lockdown browsers?

[simple fable]

https://www.balolo.de/en/products/laptop-dock-1?variant=44391155204362&gadid=&gad_source=1

[dusty cliff]

Something like that?

Not sure

[queen knot]

I used the formative lockdown browser on 7

[dusty cliff]

Haven't really looked into the app before, wasn't interested in messing with it lol

[dusty cliff]

Btw @simple fable The TS4 supports up to 1x 8K display

@-@

[simple fable]

imagine using 8k

[dusty cliff]

Apple pro XDR display is 6k

[gloomy plover]

They basically blank out ur second screens so u can only focus on the exam. I had to use those and because of discomfort with it I went scorched earth on my pc and moved to linux.

[dusty cliff]

[queen knot]

My laptop's ethernet port and DVD drive

[dusty cliff]

That DVD drive is so not necessary

[queen knot]

It so is necessary

[simple fable]

i have a mouse, keyboard, hdmi and the charger connected

i dont use the keyboard

at all

and the hdmi i needed for my monitor

[dusty cliff]

No it's not

[queen knot]

Speaking of HDMI

[dusty cliff]

Only like 3% of the world still uses DVD's

Everything is either wireless (bluetooth streaming, Wi-fi streaming, etc)

[simple fable]

afrika?

[dusty cliff]

Or it uses a better system

[queen knot]

The ports on the left of my laptop

[simple fable]

like the less developed countries

[dusty cliff]

Not even I think

more the outdated companies

Old libraries maybe?

Old archives perhaps

[simple fable]

yeah

[dusty cliff]

My MacBook

Clean asf

[simple fable]

the space black macbook looks so good

[queen knot]

VGA, HDMI, 2X USB 3.0, Audio IN , Audio OUT

[dusty cliff]

Truee- I liked this color better cuz space black is a fingerprint magnet

[simple fable]

fair

[dusty cliff]

Audio in + Out can be replaced with 1 3.5 mm port
VGA is obsolete

2X USB 3.0
Replace 1 with thunderbolt 4 and you're fine

[queen knot]

Vga is awesome.

[dusty cliff]

It's old, slow & low quality

[simple fable]

3x usb 1xusbc 1x hdmi

all i need

[queen knot]

This laptop is from 2013

[dusty cliff]

HDMI or Thunderbolt/USC-C is just better

[queen knot]

SD slot

[simple fable]

i have a hub

[dusty cliff]

Those are nice if you use a professional camera

Although lots of cameras now also got USB-C for an external SSD

[queen knot]

Many modern laptop do not have a full sized sd slot

[dusty cliff]

This lil guy is 1 TB

and it's pocket sized

fully USB-C

[simple fable]

an external ssd is nice tho

[dusty cliff]

If I connect this to my iPhone 15 pro I can record 4K@60FPS and it'll record in HEIC format (high quality format)

and it'll save it directly to the SSD

[simple fable]

portable game storage

[gloomy plover]

A NAS is nicer

[dusty cliff]

it's better for editing on the mac ecosystem

[dusty cliff]

That's really only within your home network

[queen knot]

My laptop also has REMOVABLE BATTERY

[simple fable]

mine has a 1080p display

[queen knot]

Mine is 1600x900

[simple fable]

1080x2560

or what was it again

idk

[queen knot]

3840x1080

[dusty cliff]

My macbook is uhh

2560x1600

[simple fable]

i have a 1080p 34 inch

[queen knot]

1080p 49 inch

[dusty cliff]

13 inch 2560x1600

[simple fable]

the ppi probably sucks

[queen knot]

Its good enough it is 144 Hz

It is powered by RTX 3090 Ti

[simple fable]

i have vega 6 graphics

it wouldnt be able to run 1440p

[queen knot]

My laptop has Intel HD 4000 and Geforce GT 650M

[dusty cliff]

my windows laptop run an i7-8750H, GTX 1060

and uhh 16gb DDR4

[queen knot]

Upgrade it to 32

[dusty cliff]

Not needed yet

I'm saving for a pc slowly & 16gb does it for me

[simple fable]

Ignore the peg boards I just wanted to know how it looked

[dusty cliff]

You're fine dw

[queen knot]

Technically I could upgrade the ram in my main rig to 256GB

[simple fable]

no one needs 356

256

its too much

for ram ofc

[queen knot]

4x64GB DDR5

[simple fable]

32/64 should be enough

[dusty cliff]

You really don't need more than 64 gb for normal usage

[queen knot]

So I need to get 64.

[simple fable]

this looks so fucked

small trackpad and keyboard

[dusty cliff]

It's nice to have the buffer but really- between 8-32gb you'll be finee

especially with a good videocard (3000 series or 4000 series Nvidia)

or a newer AMD radeon

[queen knot]

I cannot get 40 series sadly

[simple fable]

6000/7000

[dusty cliff]

Yeah that's fair

the 40 series honestly is overkill in and of its own

[queen knot]

can u get 4090 to run on Win7

[dusty cliff]

Idk- I don't need too so never looked into it lol

[queen knot]

I guess the 3090 Ti still has 24GB VRAM

[dusty cliff]

Yep, more than enough for honestly most if not any game you can play nowadays

There haven't been any games yet that only run on the 40 series

[queen knot]

If I wanted to run Win2000 I could get the Quadro M6000 24

[dusty cliff]

I'm trying to build a setup slowly- but I got an idea planned out, just gotta save the money for it

[queen knot]

What spec ?

[dusty cliff]

@simple fable where do you suggest ordering the parts-
megeko or alternate?

[queen knot]

Amazon

Micro Center

[dusty cliff]

Midranger probably,

I wanna get into AMD (all time Intel user but I've heard AMD is better for gaming setups overall from most sources)

[gloomy plover]

I use newegg for tech related purchases.

[dusty cliff]

I see, they sell international?

[gloomy plover]

I think so

[queen knot]

Dont rub it in😭

I wish I went AMD for my new rig

instead of my 13700k

[dusty cliff]

I mean- the 13700k is still really good though

[simple fable]

Megekko

[dusty cliff]

Gotcha

[queen knot]

Well I guess the 13700k runs at 5.4 GHz

[gloomy plover]

Can confirm now, newegg ships internationally.

[dusty cliff]

Exactly, nothing to be upset about!

[simple fable]

But if u use pcpartpicker ull get the lowest prices available

[queen knot]

the 14900KS runs at 6.2

[dusty cliff]

Awesome, ty ty

[dusty cliff]

Ah alright, you used that site too right

[simple fable]

Amazon Meg alerts etc

[simple fable]

Yeah

[dusty cliff]

Yee exactly

[simple fable]

Azerty*

[dusty cliff]

I'm probably gonna go a full white + light RGB rig

[simple fable]

All white looks pretty nice

[dusty cliff]

I'm considering a tempered glass panel but Idk if I want that tbh

[queen knot]

No LED

BLUray drive

[dusty cliff]

Yeah and the accent color is decided by the RGB

[dusty cliff]

Never in my life again

I don't use DVD's, bluray or CD's

[simple fable]

Color neutral setups>>

[dusty cliff]

[dusty cliff]

Honestly any black or white setup ever

Is color neutral

cuz you can combine anything with those 2

[simple fable]

Yeah

[queen knot]

Believe it or not there a Intel Z77 board that has a floppy controller

[simple fable]

I like the project zero boards

The corsair 2500 cases support btf and project zero

[queen knot]

Do those boards have good legacy support ?

[simple fable]

They are b650/whatever the fuck intel uses

B770 I'm guessing

[queen knot]

So it probably support win7 , I have Z790 board

[gloomy plover]

Important thing I learned for building PCs read the manual if you decide to get a board with 2 nvme slots and you populate both of them.

[queen knot]

I only have 1 1TB 990 Pro

[gloomy plover]

I spent an hour trying to troubleshoot why I had two SATA connections not working, only to find the answer on the bottom of like my second page in the manual.

[simple fable]

Isnt 990 gen 5?

[dusty cliff]

@simple fable
Would you rather get a 3060 TI or a 4070 ?

[queen knot]

Gen 4

oh maybe it is gen5

[queen knot]

3060 Ti

[dusty cliff]

Why that one specifically ?

[queen knot]

Well if u can do a higher 30 series thats even better , but it still support Win7

[dusty cliff]

Owh but I'd be going win 11

So that's not my problem then

[queen knot]

11 is horrible at least use 10

[dusty cliff]

Nah- 11 is fine

[queen knot]

Xbox game bar and AI is not fine

[scarlet acorn]

11 is not that bad actually, not something I want on my personal computer but everything is fine

[simple fable]

You can disable game bar

Game bar is also on 10

And you can just not use ai

Its that simple

[queen knot]

The point is 7 does not have any of that crap by default . Also no signing in to any online Microsoft account .

[dusty cliff]

So what, you need to login into an account basically everyone has already anyway

[queen knot]

Microsoft account is not useful

You should not be forced to login to an online acct to use ur OS

[dusty cliff]

You legit need one to play minecraft

Which is 1 of the best selling games of all time

so Idk about you- but it's quite useful

A ton of companies use Microsoft Office 365

Which also requires- yet again,a Microsoft account

[queen knot]

I use Office 2003

[dusty cliff]

That's just fucked- you're blocking yourself from all the newer features, from receiving proper support when needed because nobody gives office '03 support anymore

all the videos you might wanna watch about it are old & finding help for it is rough

[queen knot]

Again features I don't need

[dusty cliff]

If you don't know they exist you won't need them you, part of updates is learning about new stuff

Imagine having to make a graph in Excel 2003 - that's a lot more complicated than the new excel

[queen knot]

I don't know , u are convincing me to update to Office 2022 ... On Win7

[thorny marten]

i think i need some help

[dusty cliff]

Using the newest office in general is just a wise update- It adds better functionality, improves old functionality & downgrading again is always possible if you really don't like it

[dusty cliff]

what's up?

[thorny marten]

my chromebook keeps popping up something called "ARC Home"

and it not responding

[queen knot]

Ur chromebook has Intel ARC GPU

[dusty cliff]

how often does this happen?

[thorny marten]

idk how to fix this

it just keeps reopening every time i hit wait

idk what to do

[dusty cliff]

You gotta click Close app

[thorny marten]

why tho

would that have broken something? this app runtime thing isnt popping up anymore

[dusty cliff]

It's part of the Android runtime for Chrome to make ChromeBook & Android compatible, something went wrong & it crashed, when you close the app it'll reboot itself automatically and fix itself if all goes well

make sure to keep your system updated in the meanwhile as well

[thorny marten]

oh alright

thanks

[dusty cliff]

[dusty cliff]

Heaven for @simple fable

[scarlet acorn]

The Manjaro theme was broken

So I skipped it

[dusty cliff]

Rippp

[queen knot]

Too Many Os

[warm merlin]

so where do i get this new operating system?

asking for a friend obviously 😜

[scarlet acorn]

This is Ventoy, a bootloader running on top of Grub2

which is installed on to a USB stick

[scarlet acorn]

[warm merlin]

steering wheel?

[unreal burrow]

ye, g920

[warm merlin]

nice

its that i only have a shitty wheel that is almost ancient, otherwise i would play it a lot more

[unreal burrow]

playing on a wheel is a lot of fun

[warm merlin]

i played it in vr: https://medal.tv/games/assetto-corsa/clips/iwcgd8a7_Fcss/d1337D4BJEKH?invite=cr-MSxkT0gsNDE0MTg1Nyw

[unreal burrow]

yo vr is dope

also nice skills

[warm merlin]

for vr, this clip is decent, i play more forza horizon where i drift a lot too

[gloomy plover]

Halo infinite got eac support. As well as the anticheat being enabled for linux.

[queen knot]

At this rate the iPhone 300 will look the same as iPhone 15

[gloomy plover]

But it would have 8G at the minimum, wifi 17 compatibility, Bluetooth 12, and feature a 32k display.

[gloomy plover]

I have a few videos of me playing dirt rally 2.0 in vr. It's really fun until u get a track that makes u feel ill.

[queen knot]

All uncessary bullshit

It is a marketing gimmick.

[simple fable]

4g ain't lasting 5 more years

[queen knot]

Yes it is . It is used by 99.99999999 percent of everyone

[simple fable]

5g is in almost every new device

They just need to build/put more 5g antennas or something

What's with you having problems going forward tho 😭

[queen knot]

Its backward

forward performance wise , backward healthy wise

[gloomy plover]

I think emergency services still use like 2g for their communications, since it's an empty band now.

But as for like wifi 7, which we're working towards, it's about stability.

5G was speed.

Bluetooth as well is about stability and strength of connection.

[queen knot]

Ethernet is still better and will always be better than wireless

[gloomy plover]

There's also new ethernet standards in development.

And ethernet isn't always going to be an option for everyone. Such as on modern laptops or mobile phones.

[simple fable]

5g isn't toxic yk

Sure it may emit more radiation but it's not deadly 💀

[queen knot]

Fiber optic , I wish we could get it in our area

[gloomy plover]

It's getting more common. My parents have the option of getting fiber now.

[queen knot]

So lucky

[simple fable]

We got it

[queen knot]

I still have 50mbps down and 5.5 up

[simple fable]

Switching somewhere in april

[gloomy plover]

The closest it gets to being dangerous is getting into the IR spectrum

[queen knot]

It will eventually , they are probably developing 6g already

[gloomy plover]

Ya, they are looking into it already.

[simple fable]

Ofc they are

[gloomy plover]

They were working on wifi 7 when 6e came out.

[queen knot]

Its a load of bullshit 4g is super fast already , even 3g is decent

[gloomy plover]

5g is way faster.

[simple fable]

Fr

[queen knot]

For me I don't need a 1gbps connection on my phone, plus it just drains your battery quicker

[simple fable]

That's why phones are getting bigger batteries

[gloomy plover]

I did several tests at my grandparents' place on my phone and was damn near at 1 gig per second download speeds without data priority

[queen knot]

4000 mah battery is not big enough

the iPhone 15 pro max has like 4400 something , which is unacceptable

[simple fable]

Phones gave 5k-6k mah these days

[simple fable]

Because it runs ios

They have their own cpus

They are optimized

[gloomy plover]

I was even able to watch the 4th episode of the 60th anniversary special of doctor who during christmas on that network speed. Was a good episode.

[queen knot]

What about the phone with 22K mAh battery

[gloomy plover]

Can't wait for May

[simple fable]

Not needed

[queen knot]

It has headphone jack and sd card slot

[gloomy plover]

all mobile phones use ARM cpus, which are special in that they don't draw power unless necessary.

[simple fable]

Not everyone uses them

[gloomy plover]

All thanks to an engineering flaw when they were first made.

[simple fable]

Idc about them

[queen knot]

A lot of people do , and again these are basic things all phones should have

[gloomy plover]

I haven't heard many people complaining about the lack of a headphone jack.

[simple fable]

It's a nice to have but its just getting olf

[queen knot]

It is like $1 to add one , so why not ? Especially in a 1500 dollar phone

[simple fable]

Old

[gloomy plover]

Wired headphones can get annoying as hell.

[simple fable]

Wireless are annoying

Wiresk

[dusty cliff]

Correction - almost nobody uses them anymore, as there are better & more convenient wireless alternatives

Storage- there's better devices than small easy to lose or break Micro sds

[simple fable]

Because is someone has the money to buy a 1k phone they have the money to buy wireless earbuds/headphones

[dusty cliff]

Audio- the 3.5mm is old & replaced by bluetooth headphones, wireless earbuds like the samsung Galaxy buds2 pro, AirPods pro 2nd gen, etc - as they are more convenient

[queen knot]

It is all down to these major companies wanting people to buy their wireless crap

[gloomy plover]

It's funny you think a student can afford a $1000 phone. I'm still gonna be paying off my phone for like 3 years.

On top of student loans

[simple fable]

welcome to the real world

[dusty cliff]

As a student I am just lucky I was able to afford my 15 pro already 😭

[daring tapir]

Is there anyone who plays dark soul three on xbox here

[queen knot]

Take a look at iPhone 15 durability test. It is unreal

[gloomy plover]

I was trying to get a cheaper phone when my last one broke, the salesman said he could get me off prepaid and i can get the S23, so I went with that road.

[dusty cliff]

Sorry, my only console is Switch currently 😭

[gloomy plover]

Paid tax on the phone up front, now I have to pay the rest of the phone off in my phone bills.

[dusty cliff]

It's sturdy enough if you use it properly & have a case on it like a sane person

[queen knot]

Much cheaper than the iPhone 14

[dusty cliff]

Yeah- I had to pay like 751€ up front for my phone & now I pay an additional 10€ / month for 2 years

[simple fable]

Who's gonna bend their phone tho

[gloomy plover]

I can't really complain about the bigger bill on my phone because i like my phone.

[simple fable]

New phone*

[dusty cliff]

Exactly

[dusty cliff]

Same!

[gloomy plover]

I can play with it, and make apps on it.

[dusty cliff]

It was worth the money imo

[queen knot]

It is the type of cheap where sitting on it could bend it

[dusty cliff]

It's really not- there's Titanium in the new phones for 2 reasons

sturdiness, and lighter weight

[queen knot]

I want heavier phone , not lighter

[dusty cliff]

That's a you issue, the future is about lighter tech, not heavier

😭

[simple fable]

Get a metal case

[queen knot]

Heavy metal ?

[dusty cliff]

Get a phone from 2011 and you got your heavy phone :D

[gloomy plover]

I have a funny story about when I got my new phone. The salesman was asking me if I wanted a screen protector, and he said he's seen a phone get run over by a running lawnmower with the screen protector on, the chassis of the phone was cracked to hell, but the screen was fine.

[queen knot]

Ok I get Galaxy S2

by Samsung

[simple fable]

Do it

8 gigs of storage is fine right?

[queen knot]

+microSD

[simple fable]

And like 2 gigs of ram

[queen knot]

2GB of ram is fine , it is on older Android version

[simple fable]

Gl getting on yt or any other apps

[queen knot]

U can do it , plus I could probably use an old version of Firefox\

Just like Firefox 52.9 still runs youtube on XP

Albeit slowly

[simple fable]

just get a normal phone

not a brick

[queen knot]

Galaxy S2 is not a brick

[simple fable]

the ulefone whatever the fuck is tho

[queen knot]

I wasn't actually gonna get that

[dusty cliff]

A phone that's not water or dust resistant, runs the Samsung Exynos 4 Dual 4210, has 1 GB of Ram & 32 gb of storage, about 480x800 pixels (4,3 inches), 1x 8 megapixel camera?

Yeah sounds perfect for you

owh and also

1650 mAh battery :)

[simple fable]

yeah

sounds perfect

[queen knot]

Ok maybe I won't get the S2 , maybe I will stick with my Note 9\

[simple fable]

iamgine pulling that beast out at the gym

[dusty cliff]

i know right

[dusty cliff]

Omg- it at least has a 3.5mm audio jack- he can listen to music on his wired headphones :0

[simple fable]

:o

[queen knot]

The note 9 also has 3.5mm jack

[simple fable]

id vibe with this

[gloomy plover]

Gotta untangle them first.

[dusty cliff]

trueeee

[warm merlin]

Lol

[simple fable]

get the dust out of the jack

[gloomy plover]

Not just dust, but lint.

[queen knot]

Haven't had that issue

[simple fable]

watch out the jack might wear out

[dusty cliff]

gotta carry a charger everywhere you go with those < 2000 mAh 😭

[simple fable]

for just 650

[dusty cliff]

Now that's hot

[queen knot]

Yeah , I do not get apple users mindset

[simple fable]

idiot 😭

[dusty cliff]

The OS & experience sets iPhones apart

[simple fable]

its an android phone

iphones

dont

use

snapdragon\

[dusty cliff]

Also part lifestyle & ecosystem

[warm merlin]

🤣

[gloomy plover]

They still use an ARM based CPU.

[queen knot]

The point is android is way more value, and they are not for poor people either like some seem to think

there are samsungs that are 1700

[simple fable]

folding ones

[queen knot]

Ye

[gloomy plover]

iOS uses a modified version of the BSD kernel, android uses linux.

[simple fable]

apple products are meant to work with eachother

[queen knot]

Yeah but I have a windows computer , not Apple , and iTunes no longer supports Windows 7

[simple fable]

try something newer maybe

?

[queen knot]

I have no need to go newer

Steam still work on 7 also

[gloomy plover]

There's some apps you can get to get a similar experience on android.

[queen knot]

Although I wouldn't mind ditching steam

[daring tapir]

Is there anyone who plays on Xbox, Who plays Any of the halo games. Any of the dark souls games. Elder scrolls online or skyrim, Rocket league, Minecraft. Who is over the age of eighteen. If so please private message me

Yep-

Motorola G7 Power

It's a good phone for most things but when it comes to camera, storage and memory...

Holy shit, that is an outstanding drift

Apple is being accused of monopolizing the smart phone market. I'm not entirely sure I would agree.

[queen knot]

Well they basically rip off people

And many people just give in , no common sense

[warm merlin]

Jup, i never get why people gotta buy those crazy expensive phones. My main go to phone is Motorola, not crazy expensive and works fine for around 5 years. My sister is sadly obsessed with iphone 😓

[queen knot]

And now Samsung is slowly turning in to Apple, especially with their flagships. No more headphone jack or SD slot, and it doesn't come with a charger adapter anymore

[dusty cliff]

That's not Samsung turning into Apple in the slightest- That's Samsung realising that the MAJORITY of people DON'T want those features anymore

And they're not gonna keep those older features on their FLAGSHIP devices knowing only the minority wants them

[queen knot]

Yet they kept them longer on their mid range devices. How much sense does that make

[dusty cliff]

That's what they are

Mid range

They keep older features for longer because those were cheaper to create

Same with mid range devices having been on 60 Hz for longer than the flagships

But creating 120 Hz screens has become the mainstream now- even for mid rangers

A more expensive phone should and those features and MORE

[dusty cliff]

No- a more expensive phone should have the most wanted & needed features

Like I said before, The AUX port & SD-card slot where clearly not wanted enough to stay

or else they Would have

[queen knot]

These are things that quite a few people still want

[scarlet acorn]

Removing the AUX port also gave way to wireless earphones like earbuds and bluetooth headsets

[dusty cliff]

quite a few yet not nearly enough

[dusty cliff]

Part of it was also Bluetooth/wireless connections finally becoming reliable enough to remove the cables

[queen knot]

It was removed to make the corprations more money selling their crap wireless earbuds

[scarlet acorn]

Then you have Apple's view, can't fit it with a big battery

[dusty cliff]

Samsung constantly does giveaways of their Buds2 pro or their galaxy watches alongside their Flagship ultra devices so that's kind of bullshit

Bullshit a THOUSAND times over

Currently here if you buy a S24 ultra you get a free LTS model of the Galaxy watch 6 included

The galaxy a series is basically made for people that want a good set of cameras and other shit for cheaper

They are cutting doen cost on the cpu and partially the screen

With the screen i mean the bezels and panel type

Im not familiar with the grand Turismo series, but it guess it has a story (starting to get rare nowadays for racing games)

[simple fable]

MINE HAS 16

[simple fable]

More than 16 is good for gaming

Normal use 8 is fine

I have 4 gigs myself

And with ram plus it's 8

My tablet has 6 gigs

And I believe I also have +4 gigs

[queen knot]

I don't game on my phone , and the pro version of my phone also has an 18 gb versin

Pro != Professional

Pro == PROjector
