Goddammit losing $60 in 30 seconds because I clicked buy instead of sell again

are you sure that wasn't cat typing?

Cats shouldn't be allowed on the internets

lol, ambiguous i18n:
internationalization
institutionalization

@JourneymanGeek So you admit now it's because ReactOS is obscure and has nothing to do with its status as alpha?

How should ever read your actions as anything but an attack when there are three distinct arguments none of which the people doing the attacking, like yourself, want to stand on?

You talk about consistency, but those were all closed for being alpha or beta as if that said something about release status. And, I showed you repositories of testing, beta, and alpha software on this site -- specific examples and you've taken no action against them.

On the matter of, obscureness, haven't we already settled that -- if the software is for end users the questions are welcome? At what point is the software not-obscure enough to be on the site. There is absolutely no rule to substantiate action against my contributions, even after being pulled through the wringer last time.

Now the argument has again switched. This time to "can the material be found elsewhere." That has never been a factor for question nor answer contributions on this site. meta.superuser.com/questions/13252/…

So three distinct arguments, and no one is willing to stand on any of them.

And for summary, all I want to do is contribute questions and answers pertaining to the end-user software that I use, which is fully permitted by the site. They may not be popular right away, but my impact factor on this site is ~600k -- so that's not too shabby. I'm also the #1 user on other sites on this network, and about to cross into the 100k network rep club. So reading malice from my actions here or elsewhere on the network is perhaps misguided?

Well, err... crypto markets are tanking again and I've made $450 in an hour

Lets not fuck this one up by pressing the wrong button again

lol

@allquixotic Not as efficient as you'd think it would be under lighter workloads. It punches well above its weight when pushed, but it's less efficient than Intel's processors in everyday use. (I actually have a Raven Ridge laptop.)

It's not far worse than the Intel solution, though.

FWIW AMD used to be utterly uncompetitive in this regard.

DAMMIT pressed the wrong button again

But hey, made $0.81 on the wrong button press...

lol. I think one day soon BTC will be worth $0.01

(in my experience, I get about 4 hours of battery life when browsing with Firefox on my HP ENVY x360, which has a 53.2 Wh battery and a Ryzen 7 2700U; Chrome and Microsoft Edge will provide better battery life)

A few people have been writing about "the end of Bitcoin" and various doom and gloom articles

$0.01 would be a long way to drop though, some people are saying $4000 is probably going to happen this year, but depends if the SEC approves crypto ETFs or somesuch

The Vega video decoder is also much less efficient than Intel's solution, though video playback on battery is not a primary use case for me on a laptop.

Ultimately, the AMD Ryzen Mobile processors really shine when it comes to raw performance within a 15W envelope, but efficiency does suffer.

Fucked up my last position flip, losing $188, Yeah too many things to pay attention to

@Dog lol @ "or somesuch"

As I say, I'm still learning. Haven't figured out how the "Buy" button works yet, since the only time I ever click it seems to be by accident

@allquixotic: AMD TV commercial, 30-second spot for Ryzen Mobile: youtube.com/watch?v=5-bFFSZRPMc

@bwDraco hahahaa they practically show it going into a Macbook Pro except for the windows key XD

that's almost an exact copy of the MBP with a windows key instead of a command button

lol

Realistically, you're probably looking at about 5 hours of light to moderate web browsing with Chrome. Firefox sucks big-time when it comes to battery life.

anandtech.com/show/13214/…

Wow.

I fear AMD just lacks the money to compete on both CPU and GPU fronts.

Unlike the situation with CPUs, where AMD and Intel are very close, RTG is far, far behind NVIDIA.

RTG just does not have the resources to develop specialized technologies of this sort. They are betting on growing enterprise adoption to drive revenue and I fear it may not be enough when NVIDIA is pulling away from them.

I need to be in wechat... I don't want Yet Another Shitty Messaging App

@allquixotic I need lxd on android lol

there's no matrix bridge for it yet :(

oh cool someone wrote an irc bridge github.com/zTrix/electronic-wechatircd

except I can't even read the readme

TODO....

D:

YASMA..... it could be a thing?

morning

morning

@Bob isn't that the chinese government sanctioned version of whatsapp?

sup @Burgi, hi @AndyK

@AndyK new job yet? Hows the hottub?

@Burgi yes. also theverge.com/2018/2/1/16721230/…

@djsmiley2k next month

the tub is now cool

;D

No more green?

@djsmiley2k no more

tiring experience

pfffiouuu!

lol

arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/08/…

@Dog sell sell sell!

omfg

.... xD

Are you going to point out it now looks like a penis?

tbh we are all confused as to what on earth the customer is using as a sanitary product....

oops

@Burgi whatsapp? do you mean viber? why not skype? I hear telegram is pretty good. we should all use hangouts. allo?

but the chinese government needs to read all your messages!

@Burgi I... hmm. Maybe if you squint?

@Burgi 🐁

it'll make all the 🐱s click on it

heh

@Bob cause first mover advantage + china

> A spokeswoman with the Idaho lab told reporters Patrick Malone and R. Jeffrey Smith that the amount of plutonium taken wasn’t enough to create a so-called dirty bomb and that there’s little or no danger from either sources being in the public domain.

Because leaving Plutonium around never hurt anyone.

this is the new icon

Forgot the wire

@Burgi looks slightly less... mistakable

@ArtGertner my mouse doesn't have a wire anyway, soooo

looks like a suppository now

@Burgi maybe everything looks like something else

@JourneymanGeek you've got the point

@Burgi that looks like.... a blind on a airplane window ;D

lol

@Burgi If you squint real hard it also looks like ... ... actually I'm not supposed to say that on SE anymore am I?

@Bob a see you next tuesday?

@Burgi Heh. Not heard that one before.

really? i thought it was an australianism

@Burgi Huh. Maybe not in NSW/Syd

> The ExaDrive DC series will be available with both a 100TB and 50TB capacity. Both are being sampled with customers and should ship in the summer. Nimbus says pricing will be similar to existing enterprise SSDs on a per terabyte basis

dats some ssd :O

@Burgi Coventry University netball team ;D

._.

@djsmiley2k something along those lines, yes

obiviously it is an ariel view of the netball court...

yus.

cya guys

@allquixotic gaaaaaaaaaaaah I think I need to ditch fq_codel

@Bob :S what's wrong with it? tell Dave Taht too! :P

@allquixotic either it's broken or the ubiquiti implementation's broken or my brain's broken

I'm not entirely sure which, yet

@Burgi It looks like a vagina with a clit highlighter on

also I swear the Ceiling option worked when I first set this up

@djsmiley2k What, you mean like this?

did some update break it while I wasn't looking? -_-

@Bob new kernel?

also, I've never customized anything about fq_codel

I did install an EdgeOS update ... months ago -______________________-

$450 profit a day is quite nice. I was worried cause that top line was reading $250 loss when I went to bed. But it fell some more so I'm up again now

Tbh @djsmiley2k, I've been so engrossed in these charts I've not even had time to read the tech news in several days

@Dog i knew i could rely on you :)

@allquixotic ok, I blame my eyes

1500 != 15000

@Bob True

@Dog k?

I dunno where they got the "Down 9% in 24 hours" but from, it went down 22% in six hours

Maybe they're using daily close prices

Bitcoin down only 1% on the day? That sorta analysis misses the bits where it drops 10% in 10 minutes.

lol

yreh

I do agree the actual uses for it are pretty lacking though. Especially with network performance as it is now

Bitcoin takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes for a transaction to go through, Ethereum about 20-30 minutes. Stellar apparently goes through just about instantly.

Plus paying in bitcoin is a pain, both because of price fluctations and because it's not got any sort of sane, simple exchange rate (partly because of the insane price fluctuations). Wanna buy something off me for B0.006? Nobody's going to have a clue what it's worth without a calculator and an internet connection to check the current exchange rate

And by the time you get to withdraw your money, which takes like, 2 hours or so, the value could have changed by 20%

the fact tthe whole blockchain must be downloaded is also stupid.

Admittedly there's a lot of other altcoins that try to fix the faults of bitcoin - consistent pricing, less drain on the global electricity grid, faster transactions, more or less anonymity, etc.

Yet somehow Bitcoin's market share is growing by the minute.

Literally the only thing I've found Bitcoin useful for is buying illegal drugs as a predictive indicator for speculative trading in other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin goes up - everything else goes up a few seconds later. Bitcoin goes down, everything else goes down a few seconds later. Get your clicks in between those 30 seconds and you're quids in.

> Which means that cryptocurrency's long-term value ultimately depends on finding practical applications for the technology. If bitcoin, ether, or other cryptocurrencies become the foundation for new mainstream payment networks or other useful applications, that will naturally drive demand for cryptocurrencies and push up their price. If such applications don't emerge, on the other hand, then prices could continue declining for quite a while.

Yeah I don't think 1 hour for payments to clear and having to send to ridiculously long hexadecimal addresses where people have to deal with "wallets" and "vaults" and currency conversions is really going to beat the convenience of Paypal or Facebook payments, or even bank transfers, which are basically instant these days anyway (at least domestically)

> Declining cryptocurrency prices are making graphics cards affordable again

At least that's a good thing

Declining cryptocurrency prices have also made me enough money for a new graphics card. Not that I have a PC to put it in...

@Dog script it.
