kenenthk: Vizio is a decent brand I ran my og xbox on it for like 8 years and they have nice anti glare features on some sets
Jan 27, 2021 1:11 PM -
Veho: Vizio is a decent brand but what few models we get over here are hella spensive. Grundig 4life yo ;O;
Jan 27, 2021 1:37 PM -
kenenthk: At least you have alexa built in them
Jan 27, 2021 1:37 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Yeah even here they are not the cheapest sort of mid range price
Jan 27, 2021 1:37 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: But they seem to hit my price point of features I want vs price
Jan 27, 2021 1:38 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: CEC
Jan 27, 2021 1:39 PM -
kenenthk: I still managed to get my walmart 65" tv for 250
Jan 27, 2021 1:48 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Nice
Jan 27, 2021 1:49 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Just got it for 160 lol
Jan 27, 2021 1:49 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: They had an open box
Jan 27, 2021 1:49 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Saved me 100 bucks
Jan 27, 2021 1:50 PM -
Veho: How does that work?
Jan 27, 2021 1:50 PM -
Veho: Is it a returned item, or what?
Jan 27, 2021 1:51 PM -
kenenthk: For mine? Early black friday deal
Jan 27, 2021 1:55 PM -
Veho: No, for Psi.
Jan 27, 2021 1:55 PM -
Veho: "Open box".
Jan 27, 2021 1:57 PM -
kenenthk: Open box usually means a returned item
Jan 27, 2021 2:20 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Yeah, open box = item that was returned within the usual 30 day period
Jan 27, 2021 2:21 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Usually better than "refurbished" or "used", since anything marked open box usually means it was barely ever used at all
Jan 27, 2021 2:23 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Yeah its a great way to save a bunch of money
Jan 27, 2021 2:24 PM -
kenenthk: But at the same think it disqualifies any warranty services
Jan 27, 2021 2:24 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: In my case literally 100 dollars
Jan 27, 2021 2:25 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Yeah it only has a 30 day refurn period but with electronics 30 days is good enough
Jan 27, 2021 2:25 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Most of the time the manufacturers warranty will still be intact
Jan 27, 2021 2:25 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Which is all that really matters
Jan 27, 2021 2:27 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Since most people rarely register products these days until something actually goes wrong lol
Jan 27, 2021 2:29 PM -
kenenthk: Nice thing about tv repairs they usually come to you these days if it's covered
Jan 27, 2021 2:55 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: TVs are so cheap who gets them fixed? lol
Jan 27, 2021 2:55 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Shit at 160 bucks if it lasts 1 year I would just buy another one.
Jan 27, 2021 2:56 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Lol
Jan 27, 2021 2:56 PM -
kenenthk: If it's in warranty why not get them fixed
Jan 27, 2021 3:04 PM -
kenenthk: Free is cheaper then cheap
Jan 27, 2021 3:12 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Ohhh fancy has 5Ghz lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:12 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: It's doing some sort of firmware update lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:20 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I'd be a bit concerned if it didn't have 5GHz these days lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:21 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: lol true
Jan 27, 2021 3:21 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: It does have an 8 core CPU though so that seems nice
Jan 27, 2021 3:21 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Wifi 6 is the new "Oh fancy" lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:21 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: My old one had like a single core or something and was bog slow... this one seems snappy as fuck
Jan 27, 2021 3:22 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: doesn't 6 have to be virtually line of sight?
Jan 27, 2021 3:23 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: I haven't really kept up on the new networking stuff since like anything over 1Gbps seems fast enough for what I use.
Jan 27, 2021 3:24 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Nah
Jan 27, 2021 3:24 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Wifi 6 has about the same range as 5ghz
Jan 27, 2021 3:24 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: I think my router does at least that? Either way all I know is I can transfer files super fast lol and media streaming is fine even with 4K stuff
Jan 27, 2021 3:26 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: TV looks pretty ok though, only issue looks like peak brightness is super trash so HDR isn't going to look any better than SDR lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:26 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: But otherwise nice TV for the price
Jan 27, 2021 3:26 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/v-series-2020 <

Jan 27, 2021 3:27 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Ohh fancy YouTube 4K aquarium 10 hours lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:28 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Yeah but my bedroom where it is, is super dark since I work nights I keep it dark as fuck lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:28 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: So brightness being low almost is a plus for me lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:32 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I think I paid like $225 or something for my cheapo 43" LG TV last year
Jan 27, 2021 3:35 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: So far this one is totally worth the 160
Jan 27, 2021 3:35 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: I was going to buy it for 250 but the lady said "Would you like me to cancel your order and sell you the same TV for 159.99?" lol ummm yeah....
Jan 27, 2021 3:36 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Sorry 149.99 lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:36 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:38 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: So at that price point its damn good lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:40 PM -
kenenthk: Don't forget about the warmthness of 4k fireplaces
Jan 27, 2021 3:44 PM -
kenenthk: I'm just waiting for the day we'll have wall paper thin tvs under 200
Jan 27, 2021 3:47 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Soonish lol
Jan 27, 2021 3:48 PM -
kenenthk: Fold up a 40" tv into your pocket

Veho: Bought snow tires today. Shit's expensive.
Jan 27, 2021 4:57 PM -
Veho: All that for the half a month of cold weather we'll have this year.
Jan 27, 2021 4:58 PM -
Veho: Fucking global warming.
Jan 27, 2021 5:03 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Pfffffft, I just never leave the house during winter

Jan 27, 2021 5:05 PM -
Veho: Wish I could do the same.
Jan 27, 2021 5:08 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: What is this snow you speak of?
Jan 27, 2021 5:08 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:08 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Got 4-5 inches of snow yesterday
Jan 27, 2021 5:09 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:09 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Which is fun I guess
Jan 27, 2021 5:10 PM -
Veho: I'm looking for drivers for an old scanner and they don't make 'em like they used to.
Jan 27, 2021 5:10 PM -
Veho: Literally, there are no drivers, they didn't make them.
Jan 27, 2021 5:10 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Veho I can't find that external hard drive... I fear my step daughter or one of her friends may have stolen it meaning it sits at a pawn shop as we speak
Jan 27, 2021 5:11 PM -
Veho: There are drivers for Windows XP, not sure how to use them on Win 7.
Jan 27, 2021 5:11 PM -
Veho: That sucks, Psi.
Jan 27, 2021 5:11 PM -
Veho: :/
Jan 27, 2021 5:11 PM -
Veho: I hope they didn't snatch anything more valuable.
Jan 27, 2021 5:11 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: I have 2 other ones here... but one is like 102 Wii games and the other is a 4TB one that has a bunch of other crap
Jan 27, 2021 5:12 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: They probably did and I just haven't discovered it yet
Jan 27, 2021 5:12 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: 12:11 PM - Veho: There are drivers for Windows XP, not sure how to use them on Win 7. < You can try using XP mode, see if that will work lol https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002
Jan 27, 2021 5:12 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Weird being alone in a large house

Jan 27, 2021 5:13 PM -
Veho: Do I need to run the whole PC in XP mode? Wut.
Jan 27, 2021 5:13 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: No, it's basically a VM
Jan 27, 2021 5:13 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Nahhh the drivers should just work
Jan 27, 2021 5:14 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: A lot of XP drivers don't want to work in Windows 7
Jan 27, 2021 5:14 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Especially if they're for ancient tech like a scanner
Jan 27, 2021 5:14 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Hmmm I used to have a pack of compatibility files I developed for Windows Vista when I worked at Dell....
Jan 27, 2021 5:15 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: You could always try extracting the dlls manually and trying to force install them, assuming Windows 7 sees it in device manager
Jan 27, 2021 5:15 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: I can't even remember what all I did but it was a massive pack, let even some Dos shit run lol The problem was with all these added DLL's and crap that it was also more compatible with virus stuff lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:16 PM -
Veho: I found Win7 32 bit drivers... let's see if that works.
Jan 27, 2021 5:17 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Just dualboot XP and Windows 7 ;O;
Jan 27, 2021 5:18 PM -
Veho: Just buy a better scanner, this is some antiquated shit.
Jan 27, 2021 5:20 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Neat my new Shield TV is out for delivery so I got my new TV just in time

lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:21 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Just completely obliterate all physical paper and go digital only, problem solved ;O;
Jan 27, 2021 5:22 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Buy paper shredder instead lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:22 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Scanner shredder combo could be useful
Jan 27, 2021 5:23 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I think my printer is one of those AIO things with a scanner lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:23 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Which I think I've used like once or twice maybe lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:24 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Yeah I have one of those too
Jan 27, 2021 5:24 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Of course, I tossed that printer into a box to make room for my server chassis

Jan 27, 2021 5:24 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Paid like 60 bucks for it scans copies prints all that
Jan 27, 2021 5:25 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Then when the ink runs out you toss the printer and buy another? Lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:26 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: I actually bought more ink for this one as it wasn't too crazy pricef
Jan 27, 2021 5:26 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: priced lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:27 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: But yeah that was my normal MO back in the day since printer was like 40 and new ink was like 70.... lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:29 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Ink refills, for all colors since mine is a moderately new printer that forces you to use color ink even for black and white, is like $80 total or something dumb like that lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:29 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: And that's cheapo third party knock offs
Jan 27, 2021 5:31 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Maybe if this were like 15 years ago I'd pay big bucks for a laser printer or something lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:32 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: But this is 2021, printing things is for BOOMERS
Jan 27, 2021 5:33 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: yeah I print something like 3 times a year lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:33 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: shipping labels and stuff but now with Amazon doing returns at Kohls near me I just bring my phone with the QR code it's a lot less hastle
Jan 27, 2021 5:33 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: hastel even lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:34 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I just make my wife print stuff from work lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:34 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Neat work called me in tonight so more OT lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:35 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: lol Tom that is the way!
Jan 27, 2021 5:35 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Probably make like 1K this week
Jan 27, 2021 5:35 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I think the only things I've ever printed in the last like...5 years have been shipping labels, and maybe stuff for city taxes since my city is still stuck in the 80s and demands a paper return for taxes lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:36 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: lol

Jan 27, 2021 5:54 PM -
Veho: Meh, revolutionary battery technology has been "right around the corner" for decades. I'll believe it when it's powering my phone.
Jan 27, 2021 5:58 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: yeah 8 times more battery life in my phone would be awesome....
Jan 27, 2021 5:59 PM -
Veho: Might even last a whole day ;O;
Jan 27, 2021 5:59 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: It already goes a full day of hard use with still like 40% left lol
Jan 27, 2021 5:59 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: How is your wife's phone doing Veho?
Jan 27, 2021 5:59 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Should last like 8 hours of constant use?
Jan 27, 2021 6:00 PM -
Veho: Yeah, the battery life is really good.
Jan 27, 2021 6:03 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: It's not like the ultimate phone, but for the price and battery life and performance it hits a great ballance
Jan 27, 2021 6:04 PM -
Veho: Yeah.
Jan 27, 2021 6:14 PM -
kenenthk: I will be excited to see how solar panels do in cars if it keeps a decent charge imagine never having to buy fuel or electricity for your vehicle
Jan 27, 2021 6:22 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I expect by the time solar panels become efficient enough we'll already have moved on to some other tech
Jan 27, 2021 6:23 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Some company is covering their car with solar panels IIRC, but the extra range provided is like...10 miles or something in optimal sunny conditions lol
Jan 27, 2021 6:24 PM -
kenenthk: Probably hyuandi I think is experimenting with it

Psionic Roshambo: Well 4K on a TV looks better but honestly not crazy better....
Jan 27, 2021 6:39 PM -
kenenthk: Yeah I noticed that wonder if there's a huge difference on oled
Jan 27, 2021 6:40 PM -
The Real Jdbye: even a 100% efficient solar panel is not enough to power a car, there's just not enough surface area
Jan 27, 2021 6:49 PM -
Veho: Wind powered cars.
Jan 27, 2021 6:51 PM -
kenenthk: Just use horses
Jan 27, 2021 6:55 PM -
The Real Jdbye: we have those Veho, they're called sailboats

Jan 27, 2021 6:56 PM -
kenenthk: Yes a car can drive under water
Jan 27, 2021 6:56 PM -
Veho: Sailboats don't work that well on land.
Jan 27, 2021 7:58 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: Come sail away come sail away with me!!

Jan 27, 2021 10:21 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I still just use my phone lol
Jan 27, 2021 10:21 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: I know we'd lose the physical remote if we got one lol

Veho: https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/22243065/nvidia-gaming-laptop-graphic-chips-capability-manufacturer-transparency
Jan 27, 2021 10:34 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah that's not an Nvidia thing, that's a laptop manufacturer thing lol
Jan 27, 2021 10:34 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: Nvidia didn't drop the Max Q name which denotes the "slower" versions of XYZ GPU
Jan 27, 2021 10:34 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: If manufacturers didn't list that on their store/product info page, that's the manufacturer's problem
Jan 27, 2021 10:35 PM -
Tom Bombadildo: But then, I wouldn't trust The Verge with any kind of anything about PC reviews given they're practically PC retarded lol
Jan 27, 2021 10:43 PM -
Psionic Roshambo: New Shield TV is nice had to connect external hard drive but it is faster
Jan 27, 2021 11:42 PM -
The Real Jdbye: Veho: sails don't, generally speaking, and that's why we don't see them on cars
Jan 27, 2021 11:43 PM -
The Real Jdbye: 11:16 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Oh it does but holy hell is that a pain lol <- it's not that hard
Jan 27, 2021 11:43 PM -
The Real Jdbye: my battery cover is much more loose now and it comes off when i drop the remote lol
Jan 27, 2021 11:44 PM -
The Real Jdbye: Tom Bombadildo: Nvidia didn't drop the Max Q name which denotes the "slower" versions of XYZ GPU
Jan 27, 2021 11:44 PM -
The Real Jdbye: the issue is that they're *all* slower versions, but you just don't know by how much
Jan 27, 2021 11:44 PM -
The Real Jdbye: the specs are customized for each model
Jan 27, 2021 11:46 PM -
The Real Jdbye: it's not as simple as it was in the past, you really need to look at benchmarks to know how different laptops compare even if they sound similar on paper
Jan 27, 2021 11:47 PM -
The Real Jdbye: the difference can be HUGE
Jan 28, 2021 3:11 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: Except the specs aren't different, just the TGP and whether they opt to include certain Max-Q features
Jan 28, 2021 3:11 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: Both of which can be easily listed with the specs
Jan 28, 2021 3:11 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: By the manufacturer
Jan 28, 2021 3:12 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: Who should be responsible for, y'know, listing the specs
Jan 28, 2021 3:13 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: It certainly makes it more difficult for the less technically inclined, sure, but it's not like its some completely unknown value that could never be discerned until you ran a benchmark
Jan 28, 2021 3:14 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: But even then with the right wording you could get around that. "150w 3080 vs 90w 3080, I guess the 150w would be better cuz it's bigger number!" Etc
Jan 28, 2021 3:24 AM -
Tom Bombadildo: https://imgur.com/gallery/k349jOB < so is this what work is like for your Psi?
Jan 28, 2021 3:29 AM -
Psionic Roshambo: There is nurses and some of them are pretty short.... Lol
Jan 28, 2021 3:29 AM -
Psionic Roshambo: I do wish they would spank me though lol
