SpaceNoodle , in Three monitors, and i feel insulted

No, I don’t have useless LEDs in my computer. My gaming rig is actually in a flat black case that blends in with the furniture.

Except my employer shipped me a dev box with a big polycarbonate window and an unnecessarily beefy GPU with RGB LEDs that dance by default. 🤦

mox ,

I wonder if anyone has studied the rate of cosmic ray-induced bit flips in a PC with a side window case vs. an all metal one.

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s an interesting question, but realistically inconsequential.

mox ,

Do you mean that you think bit flips are inconsequential, or that the rate of bit flips is inconsequential?

SpaceNoodle ,

The rate for your home PC is inconsequential, and the difference between a thin sheet of metal and lexan would have an inconsequential impact.

But flips are not inherently inconsequential. Coincidentally, a lot of my current work involves making sure we are not adversely affected by cosmic bit flips in safety-critical hardware.

mox ,

The rate for your home PC is inconsequential,

Please don’t make assumptions about my data integrity needs.

But thanks for clarifying what you meant.

SpaceNoodle ,

If you have real data integrity needs, you shouldn’t be relying on off-the-shelf home PC parts. There’s real hardware and software for such applications.

Your basement is safe enough from cosmic rays for your personal needs.

Sprawlie ,

Where’s your ECC?

wizardbeard ,

If it’s actually controllable, and not just hardwired on, openrgb is your friend.

SpaceNoodle ,

If I already don’t give a shit, why would I bother?

JohnEdwa ,

Because it seems like you disliked them and “off” is one of the controllable options?
But I guess you are at a so advanced level of not giving a shit that you don’t even care that they dance around.

SpaceNoodle ,

Not only is the box under my desk with the window facing the wall, you are correct, I wouldn’t give a shit if it weren’t. I was simply noting the irony of my “professional” equipment being the most frivolous.

Soon we’re going to have a new timezone for the moon. Yay, I guess?

@synae@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Surely they will just use utc?

redcalcium , (edited )

Can’t be that simple due to time dilation effect. Time moves at a different rate in moon, about 1s 58.7 μs difference per day.

davidgro ,

That article says 58.7 microseconds per (Earth) day. Not 1s.

Easier to just round up lol

redcalcium ,

Shit you’re right, I misremembered it.

RustyWizard ,

Appreciate you correcting your post, just one more needed.

ms = milliseconds

us = microseconds

RGB is overrated

fishbone ,

Useless RGB is overrated. I color coded my keyboard and it’s unbelievably helpful, especially for altered keys (ie: media keys/macro keys).

ProfessorProteus , in Three monitors, and i feel insulted

It’s a shame some of the better components have baby-sensory RGB lights tacked on. I’d have bought my parts plain if that was a convenient choice.

Oh also

As a non programmer this is just how all programming questions look like to me.

Holy shit people are toxic. The poor guy that responded.

bitwyze ,

It’s a fake screenshot.

rimjob_rainer ,

This perfectly describes StackOverflow

BleatingZombie , in Your scrunglebop is disponscabulated

They’re both making the same joke, but one got upvoted and one got downvoted. I don’t understand people

Aatube ,

This is a fake screenshot that aims to highlight how new programmers can not understand programming terms and ask about it only to have their question misunderstood.

BleatingZombie ,

Oh… I thought they were both just being silly

Your explanation makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

jaybone ,

New programmers. Lol. I see people who have been doing this for 20 years, and don’t know how to read an error message.

synae ,
@synae@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

The downvotes seem to indicate: don’t put this fake garbage here and waste people’s time

The upvotes seem to indicate: since we’re here in a joke post, the joke answer is appropriate and funny. Added benefit that it is in the form of a very unhelpful response (merely rephrasing the error message) which is a relatable experience

saintshenanigans ,

Its stack, it doesn’t matter what the question is, the answer is “fuck you for asking”

kernelle , in Three monitors, and i feel insulted

Two headsets ago I bought a G933 from Logitech, mainly because it had an AUX input on the USB-dongle which I thought was pretty neat, but that one had big unnecessary RBG strips on the sides of the earpiece. The most ridiculous usage of RGB I had seen till date. But I programmed an interface between CSGO and the RGB on the headset to indicate my health so the people watching from behind us at a lan could see it.

Anyway, I’ve always preferred white LED’s and RGB can rarely replicate pure white.

I love my inkjet. It’s so nice to be able to do my own high quality prints for the wall and for friends.

I just had to uproot and move several states away with my life in a luggage and a backpack <.< No fitting the monitors in there :(

Still got my glowy keebs though ;P

bdonvr , in Computer components cheat sheet

Hey my inkjet with refillable tanks isn’t so bad

Emtity_13 ,

Stage 1: Denial

Micromot ,

Which one is it? The one I have still has an overflow/nozzle cleaning sponge that bricks the printer when it’s full

bdonvr ,

Oh yeah that whole thing is fucking stupid but bypassable depending on model

melpomenesclevage ,

So you need to hack it and violate warranty to make it work? And this is just fine? On a product you paid for?

Micromot ,

Yeah will see what I can do once it starts complaining

jaybone ,

HP will brick your shit remotely on these.

pewpew , in Material design
@pewpew@feddit.it avatar

They use different colors to determine elevation instead of shadows in Material Design 3

boredtortoise , (edited )

Both elevation and tone intensity (and corner size is a possibility as well if it fits the brand)

themusicman OP ,

Yes, thank fuck for that. Material design fatigue is real

pewpew ,
@pewpew@feddit.it avatar

I prefer Material design 1 tho. I liked the shadows

I just discovered that while the ServiceNow APIs return all times in UTC, they use the user’s default time for all times passed in as a parameter.

So if your account is set up in PDT and you say “give me this item that I just created”, it will say “here your item, this was created at 17:00”.

But if you say, “cool let me see all items created in the last hour, so anything greater than 16:00”, then it will respond “got nothing for ya, chief.”
