@Hennes It was the pinnacle of PC gaming for its day. It had by far the most advanced graphics ever seen, but it pushed PCs to its limits. At the time, there was no practical way to max it out.

The only card able to do 4k60 is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

Psycogeek

Can you guys tell me what keyboard to use for Android that's highly customizable

Burgi

hey @Psycogeek, long time no see

Long time no see @Psycogeek

The Cliffs of Insanity: Dramatic Shifts in Technologies on Stack Overflow

Julia Silge on November 13, 2017

Life as a developer (or data scientist, in my case) involves being comfortable with changing technologies. I don’t use the same programming languages that I did at the beginning of my career, and I fully expect to be using different technologies several years from now. Here on the Stack Overflow blog, we’ve talked recently about technologies that are shrinking in popularity and those that are growing, but sometimes a programming language, framework, or technology comes out of nowhere and bursts on to the scene, or falls off a cliff. Sometimes there are dramatic shifts in a technolo …

Ryzen 5 2500U, 4C/8T Raven Ridge (Zen)@ 2.0-3.6 GHz. Radeon Vega Graphics with 8 NCUs.

Psycogeek

Hiya ho. Boris yo , an burgi.

Burgi

4:04 PM

everything going ok?

Psycogeek

As you may know I am in An RV, what you mean I know is these RVs Fall Apart, daily 😜

Burgi

did the house stuff not get sorted?

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek I see. Taking trips on RV around country and it's hard to get internet access?

Psycogeek

Yeah if you didn't hear I sold the house for high-dollar I'm in an RV, almost homeless, w/ two dogs two computers and a whole lot of tools to refix the damn thing.

Internet access is easy on the road, but the more you get away from the people. well that's logical the less signal of any sort is out there

As a side note for anyone who's in u.s Cricket network may use AT&T Towers but they don't use all of them the rural ones don't connect

djsmiley2k

@Psycogeek Glad ur ok.

Boris_yo

4:16 PM

@Psycogeek Are you doing video editing from your RV?

bwDraco

lol @ "ur"

djsmiley2k

@bwDraco ??

shorthand

Boris_yo

You sold the house? I remember you mentioned "landlord"

djsmiley2k

init.

Boris_yo

@bwDraco Why lol?

bwDraco

4:17 PM

I'm in a bit of a silly mood right now :P

Boris_yo

RV = recreational vehicle. He owns it =it's his.

Psycogeek

Yeah the landlord my friend gave me the house in his will which was totally unprecedented

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Serious? What a twist...

djsmiley2k

i thought this was a family house, i'm so confused?

or are we talkin about the RV now?

Boris_yo

That's great.

Psycogeek

4:20 PM

Oh yeah it was a huge house but it was mostly purchased for Equity investment purposes it wasn't a requirement

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Are you going to stay in RV for some time or you are looking for your next house?

Psycogeek

RVs are not an investment in anything other than time and money

Burgi

GoPro survives lava

Psycogeek

Yeah I was supposed to be taking a long vacation in the RV but RVs are not designed for that

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Depends on RV internal space and quality?

djsmiley2k

4:23 PM

@Burgi that's pretty damn amazin

Psycogeek

So in reality I haven't stopped working the whole time and I've spent $20,000 setting the thing up with soap solar computers and fixing it so it works right. nice vacation RVs are better off used on the weekends with you working on them on the whole week to get them to go.

Boris_yo

RV is better than house. It lets you get away from brainwashed people and protect yourself from brainwaves.

djsmiley2k

GoPro now gotta give him a free cam tho

Psycogeek

Yeah well the problem is RV dealers which you need to get stuff fixed are the lowest form of life on the planning

djsmiley2k

among most people who sell anything

Psycogeek

4:26 PM

Add to that I've already dented it twice too because it's almost wider than the roads that I drive down

Burgi

@Psycogeek got any pictures of your epic roadtrip?

Psycogeek

California has his brilliant idea of adding Lanes and more Lanes wh to the road by turning 4 into 5 little tiny ones

Oh yeah I've got lots of pictures and I've been dying to load him up but I can't get this to work just yet

I got the Moto Z play as the new phone I bought it from our local large electronic store and it doesn't have crappy bloatware all over it, so cool.

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek I thought mosquitoes are the lowest forms of life for planning their bloody attacks but I was wrong...

djsmiley2k

wow

looks like faceID is broken (not like that wasn't predictable) using anything public as a 'secret' is stupid.

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek RVs is nice to have on Black Friday to shop stores out and resell that stuff.

One of my favorite ways of living dangerously...

Beware the brainwashed consumers with torches and pitchforks... for snatching their stuff.

Psycogeek

4:35 PM

With two dogs I'm fairly safe from everything except for poopy bags with the high metabolism of the dogs we go through lots and lots of poopy bags😁

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek :D

Psycogeek

And RV should come like with a woman in it cuz it doesn't have a dishwasher or laundry machine.
And women love to do that stuff😱

Boris_yo

"Danger: A dog with high metabolism"

@Psycogeek I didn't know they do. I need a woman.

Psycogeek

I get 7 to 8 MPG, it's no wonder why these B RVs are usually parked it cost like 200 bucks to fill the tank

The thing weighs 6 tons and for the life of me I can't figure out where the tonnage is when most of it is plastic and paneling and foam

djsmiley2k

lol

huge terribly inefficient engine?

lol Parliment will vote on the brexit deal before we leave the EU?

Psycogeek

4:40 PM

Yes get the Triton V10 the largest version of it in the smaller vehicle and yet it can still have trouble up the hills

djsmiley2k

eh and if they say no, then what :/

Psycogeek

Yeah the biggest problem is it's still like driving a wall down the road the Europeans have managed to

Make completely modern designs but the Americans are still selling the same stuff that they've sold for 20 years

djsmiley2k

lol yup

america

where nothing has been manufactered for 50 years, but claim to be world leaders in it all.

Psycogeek

Exactly smiley

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k They design in US, manufacture in China.

Psycogeek

4:44 PM

And Americans are still oblivious as to what is occurred to their country

djsmiley2k

lol

Psycogeek

If you are 27 trillion dollars in debt don't you like get off your ass in the morning and go to work?

60% of these corporations are hiring but if you can't do all the work on your smartphone who wants that job

You walk into stores and the employees go other machines over there or just use it, and multiple times I've tried to explain to them that there might be a purpose in their existence at that job

You can imagine going into a store and asking for something and the employees saying you can find that on the web

You go in to pay them and they say you can do that on the web you ask him for customer service and they say go on the web

bwDraco

@Psycogeek Wat.

Psycogeek

Then you ask him why they're homeless and broke and they say because of the web😌

djsmiley2k

xD

Psycogeek

5:01 PM

Some fun, was the poorly-built water heater the Flames were burning badly which causes Flame to lick up the side of the RV

Not good a machine that can catch on fire what a little doggies are in there, evil

rahuldottech

Psycogeek

So what third-party Android keyboard does anybody use

rahuldottech

@Psycogeek Google Keyboard is my thing

Psycogeek

Yeah after what I've dealt with the stock one has less advertising and bullStuff, but I desperately wanted to make the keys bold and bright and big fonts and all that other stuff

rahuldottech

@Psycogeek Wait. Google keyboard doesn't have ads?

Psycogeek

5:12 PM

The two I tried though are more interested in other things lots of other things, they're excellent products if they would have stopped there. instead they decide to do abused the user first.
Pay for a good product

No Google doesn't have any ads😁

Directly in their keyboard at the moment

80% of Google's dollars come from taking your life and handing it out to advertisers.

Heck it takes me a week just to turn it all off and then it updates and turns itself back on again.

None of this add garbage works when you're not connected which is been a huge advantage you download add programs

Programs full ads but you don't go online, so you can't get the ads but now my phones are online my whole world is changed

Even if I didn't mind the ads and the tracking and the sending all my data to someone else, the problem is I have to pay for that and very expensive data and it slows my machine down so even if I like what they're doing, it still ruins the entire experience

Take your typical webpage nowadays 80% of what you're downloading you didn't want . most of my data ends up being used on the most everything's an ad

Read a page a text or a hundred pages of text and that one stupid ad that they had to throw in there that they make $0.05 on for the whole month, is where all the data is.
Then the next thing they say is well I had to put in the ads to pay for the server , but the majority purpose of the server ends up serving ads that they don't make Real money from

Some Good programs have Millions

Of users paying them a buck or two what the frick add is going to do that

The developers are out there destroying their programs for a couple of thousand bucks while a million dollars is lost

hi, I set a wifi printer up, my PC can see it but when I print something all the printer spits out is blank paper

it has some ink left and I have full control on the printer ACL

Psycogeek

Do you have a way to test the printer without Wireless

CoderCat

it works fine with USB but thats a bit tedious

so wanna use wifi

bwDraco

Jul 31 at 3:10, by bwDraco

Worst-case power consumption with components overclocked is probably in the ballpark of 550-600W, judging from what PCPartPicker is saying.

CoderCat

I can screen shot my promperties pages if needed

bwDraco

So... some extreme torture testing (FurMark + IntelBurnTest) with both CPU and GPU overclocked resulted in a ~560-570W peak power draw from the wall.

Psycogeek

5:38 PM

Could be it has something to do with all the different ways that data can be sent to the printer? Raw , jpeg , postscript etc?

CoderCat

I tried printing a music score out, a PDF, and some scanned documents but maybe

Psycogeek

Well I don't know for sure but to all that stuff in the advanced settings of a printer is gets pretty complicated

Rarely a printer might not recognize the method by which the data was sent to it, because it is doing a line feed the

You know it's connected and something was sent to it

CoderCat

ill try printing from notepad

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek I used SwipeBoard or something from Android. After receiving Samsung A7 2017 I use Samsung's stock laggy keyboard.

CoderCat

nope, same deal here just blank paper still

Boris_yo

5:46 PM

@bwDraco Why the need to overclock today's lightning-fast processors?

Psycogeek

Yeah gone are the days where you just sent the text to the printer and it would print the text itself, internal fonts style.

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Do you find stand-up desks useful for brain performance?

Psycogeek

Retailers Use stand up computers all the time

Myself I found that if I was going to really concentrate and save my butt that I need a stand up computer and a harness so that human can relax some too, I was thinking of ways of making a bungee harness with a track that it slides down, seriously

Standing up while using your computer would be a different mode for the human having both the physical and the mental right now the common method is to drop the physical so you can concentrate on the mental.

bwDraco

@Boris_yo Well...

It's an enthusiast thing :P

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek I think better when I stand. Must have to do with blood pressure. Stand-up desk for a stand-up guy!

Psycogeek

5:59 PM

Well it's true that blood goes where it's needed so when it comes to the mental and physical thing take for example after you've eaten a meal and then go swimming.

djsmiley2k

if i stand up quickly, i risk falling down

not enough blood.

Psycogeek

Some very healthy people can do that without any problem

That Brazilian Guy

> I've spent $20,000 setting the thing up with soap solar computers

> soap solar computers

!!wat

ChatBot John Cavil

Psycogeek

The rest of us standing up using a computer the blood would flow to your legs instead of your brain, which is perfect for doing those repetitive obnoxious tasks but not good for creativity

That Brazilian Guy

6:01 PM

Psycogeek

Lol

Yeah so my typing is not worked out very well yet either but I actually did put the soap in here and the solar

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek It helps me prevent drowsiness. Especially push-ups before that.

That Brazilian Guy

@rahuldottech Wait, you have slower internet than me? How's that even possible? (dat ping and upload tho)

Boris_yo

@ThatBrazilianGuy Did you just design that?

That Brazilian Guy

@Boris_yo ~~Yes, I'm fast like that~~ Google has everything. Everything

For instance, let's put some random words in there:

"cats in pajamas eating tacos"

Boom

djsmiley2k

6:04 PM

@ThatBrazilianGuy monkeys on the line

That Brazilian Guy

@djsmiley2k That's... slightly racist? Stereotypist? Countryist? Whatever. A bit innapropriate?

djsmiley2k

no really

I remember how my friend from south africa used to have monkeys 'break into the house' and wreak the place

he'd throw them out the window

Boris_yo

@ThatBrazilianGuy Internet got too big, but still has space to grow.

That Brazilian Guy

I once visited a lady who had small monkeys entering her window and asking for bananas.

In Rio.

stereotyping intensifies

Psycogeek

I wouldn't need the soap if the Sonic shower it worked there's something wrong with the UV irradiation unit

djsmiley2k

6:07 PM

stereotypes start somewhere...

That Brazilian Guy

Speaking of which, yesterday a totally random bloco passed beneath my window out of the blue, just because (stereotype one).

djsmiley2k

bloco?

Boris_yo

Bloke

Bloco in Brazil.

djsmiley2k

o

Boris_yo

Because I am from Brazil.

:D

That Brazilian Guy

6:10 PM

One of those ----^

Only it was 50 people instead of 50 thousand people

djsmiley2k

hellloooooooo ladies

lol

Boris_yo

Nice. How are chics?

That Brazilian Guy

It was 2 am but I woke up and went downstairs and joined them without knowing who they were or where they were going, who care, they had music and samba (stereotype two)

I followed them for two blocks and went back home lest I get mugged... guess what?

I nearly got mugged by this close (stereotype three)

Boris_yo

@ThatBrazilianGuy It's dangerous in Brazil. I hear news all the time.

djsmiley2k

it's dangerous in dubai and south afrcia too

That Brazilian Guy

6:12 PM

News are biased. "Nothing bad happened and everyone was fine" doesn't make great headlines.

djsmiley2k

conclusion? the monkeys are mugging people

lol

nah, lots of stuff happens

Psycogeek

Monkey negative stereotype, 🐵 party animal positive stereotype

That Brazilian Guy

The crowning point of the night was when I, trying to escape the muggers, entered a bar that had it's doors nearly closed and only two waiters inside. One of them yelled at me, I asked if I could stay a couple minutes or else I'd be at least mugged, he said "not my problem" and shoved me outside. Lovely!

It's from a bar literally in the same block of my building, the waiter knows me personally (knows my face at least) and pretended he didn't.

Psycogeek

giving those guys a tip for service is no longer your problem

djsmiley2k

should of put the muggers through their windows

then it'd be their problem

That Brazilian Guy

6:20 PM

I sincerely hope he desperately needs some favor from someone and gets a big, cruel "no" in reply.

It's really hard to make me have ill will towards someone, but he managed that. Congrats, asshole waiter.

Then a hostel two buildings later was open, and I was talking to the clerk with a funny Peruvian accent who said "sure man, you can wait a few minutes on the couch, no problem"

djsmiley2k

learn jujitsu?

That Brazilian Guy

This guy is getting a chocolate box later.

@djsmiley2k Yeah, the thought of learning some martial art crossed my mind.

Realistically, I once paid for a year of gym and used two months.

djsmiley2k

when i did it i really enjoyed it

but couldn't afford to keep it up :/

That Brazilian Guy

Isn't the jiu-jitsu fighters who got those ugly cauliflower ears?

Psycogeek

Chocolate, payback. that's why I'm nice to everyone

djsmiley2k

6:27 PM

i'm nice until you cross my line

and then i'll try and kick your head off

Psycogeek

I just passed out right before they hit me scares the shit out of them

djsmiley2k

6:52 PM

lol

That Brazilian Guy

@dougsillars @rick_viscomi @paulcalvano @HTTPArchive So this Brazilian government website eats all my CPU to mine cryptocurrency when I land on their homepage... ouch (thx @rick_viscomi @HTTPArchive #BigQuery #bitcoin)
