full self driving is coming 2022, it's a beta because it's too good to just give out to people
tesla owners: it was 20 degrees out and there was a spec of snow in my door and my door stopped working :(((
toyota hilux from 1980 after 15 armed conflicts in the middle east: haha engine goes brr
tesla owners: it was 20 degrees out and my heater stopped working
but it's fine because elon promised me a chance at a ticket to mars
russia: simple, put gas mask hose on outside of car, and route lada exhaust to inside of car!
very eco friendly heater
I love these. They're so accurate
gotta love the 10 trillion musk simp channels out there
"tesla is finally going to revolutionize public transit"
"by building a simplex tunnel for private cars"
Ever see replies to his tweets? 🤡
now what if we made this even better. by making it run on a schedule. and made it duplex. and attached multiple cars together for more capacity
we could call it the TRAIN (Tesla Radically Ambitious and Intellectual NewTransferSystem)

or I guess backronyming it works, Tesla Rapid subterrAnean Interconnecting traNsport
TRAIN!
im gonna file a copyright on that shit then sell it to musk

my wife left me cause I don't like the steam deck (as a millionaire)
https://youtu.be/nnx9lNGIOY0
My thoughts on the new Valve STEAM DECK. Is it really worth the hype and can it replace a Switch AND a gaming laptop? Let's find out.
lol
My only issue with the steam deck is I don't go out enough to make one worth buying
I should start making videos about stuff I don't own
Bidori nobody cares, we're planning speedy's new videos
that's fine 🙏
You're still too addicted to that site
nah
the best part about the Revolutionary Transit System is that its maiden voyage got fucked by a tesla that had autopilot malfunction so it stopped in the middle of the tunnel and caused a 4 hour traffic jam
so all he did was convince a couple million dipshits to give him money to reproduce the boston driving experience
poggin if true
well it's 100% coming this quarter amd confirmed
Q4 is a long time
they could announce it on thanksgiving and start shipping on new year's eve
nah i highly doubt that
they'll probably use it before then to drive gifts and everything
looking forward to the $1500 7950x 
also it's q3 not 4 for launch
so it has to launch in september
I thought the zen 4 launch window was Q4 2022
no, amd officially said “Looking ahead, we’re on track to launch our all-new 5nm Ryzen 7000 desktop processors and AM5 platforms later this quarter with leadership performance in gaming and content creation,”
so it's 100% Q3 unless they suddenly delay it but highly unlikely
would be nice to see something land on time for once
it'll still likely be out of stock real quick
like normal for launches
I kind of want to wait for the 7950X3D since those are on the roadmap
yeah, i plan to wait for 3d vcache versions if i go 7000
only way i'll be willing to deal with first gen problems 🙏
who knows when they'll actually launch those though
probably as a backup for intel stuff
imagine if 13th gen still sucks so AMD has no incentive to make the vcache chips
it probably will based on leaks 
like nvidia sitting on their ass for the last, uh 8 years
the one thing i can see them releasing vcache wise is the 7800x3d to rival the 13900ks or whatever if it turns out good
what are you waiting for 
price, features
and preferably nt the top of the line ones either (especially if i can slap in 2 pcie cards with the m2 slots and be able to use everything
yes, I've also read the boilerplate specs for X670E
I have a lot of reservations with AMD shitting itself on a strong product launch
I remember the dumpster fire of barton chips having great performance but the boards were terrible
atleast recently they've been decent 🙏 aside from luck of the draw with certain boards
don't know how i feel about the new style of boards though, B is the budget chipset now 
what do you care, you just upgraded smh
DDR5 needed to be done
forcing DDR5 means that memory companies can't keep fucking around and not putting any effort into refining DDR5 PCBs
they've had way too long of "well, nobody needs DDR5 so we'll just release a handful of dimms"
like the DDR5 spec was released in what, 2019?
we're still in the first phase of a new DDR release?
we're nowhere near the "we're so good at making this that we're 7 or 8 bins above the jdec max spec frequency at a reasonable voltage" phase
despite DDR5's spec being old enough for jdec to start considering DDR6 spec release
although i have a bad feeling about what's to come with rule 4 stuff pertaining to amd cpus 😭
considering who makes most of the semiconductors on planet earth, it's a national security issue
so
lots of thunder, no lightning, so to speak
yeah but we'll see 😔
I mean, we will, there's not much that rule 4 man can do without triggering a serious international response
it's not like TSMC doesn't supply almost every country on the planet with chips
yeah but they're still a superpower so they can do quite a bit of bad if they wanted to/tried
I mean, it's hard to "do bad' when literally everyone is against you, even some of your supposed allies lmao
the ramifications of losing TSMC's output is a national security threat to pretty much everyone since they supply the chips that make all the pew pew next-gen hardware go
He has more money than sense, bless him
he clearly doesn't or else he would've bought a better white motherboard
I wish I was in that position 
one that is 99% guaranteed to work 
He has much more money than sense though
You have enough money to spend thousands on big tiddy anime statues and buy a house, I think you'll be ok
why waste time on buying a motherboard that's going to work when you're going to kill it anyway
just going to leave it running prime95 AVX-512 blend for two weeks to stress test my cooling loop
why is my PC dead

I don't have money anymore because I bought a house 😔
I have bricks and an angry girlfriend
Poor angry gf, how will she cope with a free place to live
Buy her an anime statue to cheer her up
a belial figurine from GBF
you don't know how much suffering my day is filled with because of it
You know a single phone call could reduce that to zero suffering right
Then you find someone who actually likes you
it's just wild that she's like "all my friends are getting houses together and my boyfriend chose to move away from me"
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I get that I'm oversimplifying and just breaking up isn't that easy, but damn, I hope there are a lot of positives you don't mention here
sometimes I wonder 

tl;dr dude's engine eats shit from a known issue, toyota claims he caused the issue because he took the car to a track day event
welp, never buying a toyota
imagine denying a warranty claim because someone drove their car on a track, exactly as advertised
Sounds like a lawyer would enjoy that
Play from bed
Bed is for sleeping and fucking
Nobody can troll me in the middle of the night
As if I have discord notifications on 
Technically speaking it is 99% guaranteed to work: Just when you only populate up to 2 of the M2 slots, right? /s
Of course not, you don't have enough money yet by that age so they don't want you /s
That would last me one day if i eat out or 4days if i cook and am careful about what i buy
god, cooking is so expensive these days
I'm just going to live on oatmeal until my pay catches up to food prices 
have to live with steel cut and add some whey protein for flavor lmao
too expensive to get the factory flavors
Walmart says a dollar a box, but yeah its gone up a lot. I always get Kraft deluxe bc the cheese is a lot better an the price per oz isnt that much more
Them Cali prices?
I stopped buying KD once I tried Deluxe, it was just so much better. Original is decent but I prefer Sharp Cheddar if the store has it.
Golden Grain was better
why not fuck over some poor guys in pvp instead
yeah I mean it's not impossible if you're happy with medium settings at 1080p
used 1650 or something
If you buy all used, you could do it. Or find ppl with old PCs you could scavenge for the case
yep it's a mission, but not impossible
Have to play it on your TV bc you can't get a monitor in that cost
get like a 21" monitor for $20 on facebook
it will suck, but if it's all you can afford it could do a job
$200 is like, you thought about buying PC parts
you get something like a used r9 280x, that'd run fortnite on medium settings... then the i5 dell optiplex you mentioned, ewaste peripherals, $20 facebook monitor
$200 'rig'
so is it normal for a premiere pro to export a cut video that has larger size than the original video?
Is it just me or?...
oh, what do people use usually?
to cut video and to not have some silly filesize
oh, handbrake can cut video?
I thought only compress, lol
Honestly you could buy like a used 4790K and a used 1650 system and play 1080p medium probably
Logitech g502 hero any good?
Hmm
isn't the hero sensor just logitech's clone of the 3366 sensor?
For like 35 bucks hell yea
Alr
I mean, when it gets cheap enough anything is good enough lmao
"yeah it's not great but I paid $5 so whatever"
personally, I like the 502 but I prefer the 900's shape because I like ambi mice more than ergo
go to 2003 and buy a microsoft wmo 1.1a for $20
it's still hilarious to me that a corpo wageslave item is regarded as the greatest mouse ever made
only by people over 30
I have a g900 laying around as well. after about 2 years of sitting on my unused desk at work I brought it home and stuffed it in a bag 
gutted the wheel died on mine
oh that mouse
had an intellimouse 3.0 too, wheel died on it too
I've seen those at work
legendary mouse
like owned by people who were obviously huge fans of that wageslave mouse
it's funny because back when I was younger I was a huge fan of MS mice as well
but now I kinda hate them
I have pretty close to zero regard for any given mouse over another as long as the thing works
I'm reasonably certain that the XXXTREME GAMEN grade stuff is all horseshit and it doesn't matter what hardware you use
for the longest time I used a $12 logitech wireless mouse
bla I keep mixing up ctrl and cmd now :S
stay bronze
still regret getting rid of my mx master
cus i wanted a gamer mouse for overwatch xd
I use a really short cm/360 rollout so I need the high resolution and acceleration handling
like pro players have "high" sensitivity settings with some shit like a 30cm/360 rollout
mine is around 2cm/360
man it's funny how poor my nest camera's wifi connection is
google used the same antenna as the pixel 6 
hey
is the wifi bad then? seems good to me. the 5g though? oof. i disabled 5g to save battery lmao
I'm pretty sure it's the 5g antenna that's the issue
but it's not a hardware issue, it's google's shitty software
they had to issue like four firmware fixes for it
wow
barely looks different to now lol
my speakers were better 10 years ago looooool fuahfuashd]
10 years ago was when i switched from klipsch gmx 5.1 to soundsticks lol
the klipsch sounded amazing but the 5.1 wiring got on my nerves, and so did the hiss (white noise) the preamp produced when idle
I switched from pc speakers a few years before
I should find pics of my older setup, that was pretty funny for use with a pc
My beautiful 80s B&W

Been thinking about a stream deck
Rated that low huh? Is it really that bad compared to the original?
delete anime 😮💨
The amount of anime pictures I have on my phone is too much
Hopefully it's better than the Battle Athletes remake. That was... very disappointing.
amazon being a garbage retailer
amazon allowing garbo listings and pretending their storefront is fine once again
aasjdhkjasd
yeah
Are they tech companies?
failed attempt of joke implying that tech companies say the exact same thing
$50k for a minisplit? what in the fuck?
None. Also for a brief while they were offering those for $89 yesterday
mark 2?
neither of those is mk2
second one is actually a mark 2 lol
??
Stream Deck gives you 15 fully customizable LCD keys to control your apps and tools. Trigger actions, launch social posts, adjust audio, play sound clips, activate lights, and much more. Hit the Stream Deck Store for app plugins, icon packs, thousands of royalty free tracks plus effects, and swit...
this is mk2
this is actually the mark ii
mk2 has a detachable usb-c cable and the stand is not removable
yeah
I do think mk2 is better because of that!
Yeah cable alone lol
but I do wish they made the newer stand removable haha
member when lincoln made that 🔥 continental concept car and the actual car was a huge piece of shit?
ahhh I test drove one after our 300 was totaled by a jerk in an f-150 unexpectedly deciding to make a u-turn right in front of me :\
check out the concept car
between it and the cadillac xts i wanted the continental just for the looks but man the price was a huge ripoff at the time
like
the production model is a downgrade in basically every way 
they wanted 45k for those new
and almost all of the local used examples were 40k+ because they had options or whatever
the lone used one I remember finding for 35k was pretty beat up
ah man, I member when luxury cars started at $45k
the xts was cheaper, had more room inside, and it was nicer
and not $85k
err had nicer features*
there were 2 things I found really dumb about the continental
the first was that they decided to use the fusion platform.
-shakes head- whoever had that idea should be fired
I don't know why they didn't make the continental the taurus sho with fancy body panels
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
see, american car companies had this big crutch with FWD
they're all based out of michigan
where it snows
so they think everything should be FWD 'for safety'
(there's still a sizeable contigent on allpar that believe the charger/300 being RWD was a huge mistake)
wrong, it's because the average american can't fuckin drive and FWD cars have better handling under non-ideal conditions
like I shit you not
there's a large crowd on allpar that believes the charger and hellcat and all that were a huge mistake and dodge should've continued making FWD cars like the intrepid
and since american car companies haven't figured out how to make AWD cars consistently without brake-assist torque vectoring, american cars continue to be FWD
of all the cars to pick, they chose the fucking intrepid and not the neon?
what the fuck?
are they all brain damaged?
they argue the 300m was far better than the 300c
did they get dropped on their heads as babies
which makes me hate their opinion so
the other thing I hated about the continental was the doors
so they decided that mechanical door handles are so last century
and put electric ones with no manual fallback except on the driver's door
rate my new ride
= =
but yea, overpriced, boring platform, awkward proportions due to said boring platform, lack of features for the price
and it's a ford
if I bought it I bet it'd spend most of its time in the shop
cuz that's what ya do with a ford
at least it isn't a bmw 
the viper is now technically open source from what I know about current vehicle law
like you can legally make 1:1 replicas as long as you make less than 325 of them a year
since they're > 25 years old
Stung by a bee looking ass car
I'd love to get a 96 viper and turn that giant ass engine bay into an EV powerplant
watch everyone lose their minds complaining about it
i think it'd be cool
I mean, i'd just use a skateboard if the body is big enough
then you have a massive frunk 😄
you could probably just put the frame over a skateboard, yeah
the viper body is just a big fiberglass shell anyway
I'd pull up to the golf course
watch the other guys get their porsche-specific golf club set out of the trunk
and just do a happy gilmore pull random shit outta my huge frunk
I kind of want to make the bonnet area into like, some kind of obnoxious electrical arc thing
nothing dangerous, just something to rev with the hood up and scare the shit out of people at car shows 
it's a viper
another funny idea
would be to put some badass speaker system in there somewhere
trunk maybe?
set it up so you can totally fake the exhaust hahaha
you could probably duplicate it with some custom tubing roughly in the exhaust path
yea!
and just put contact speakers on the tubes
then you have a sleeper lol
I mean, everyone expects a viper to be fast lmao
nobody's going to be like "damn, that viper smoked me, didn't see that shit coming"
it's not like heating up a toyota tercel and dunking on some shithead's z4 
bonus points for duplicating the tercel's underwhelming inline 4 wheeze on the exhaust and dumpstering someone in a challenger
Wtf my usb chain just died
you don't need 1200whp from a quad motor setup when your entire car weighs less than the battery pack of the other car 
Oh I see
It’s there usb hub in the monitor
how annoying!
maybe it was because i used an extension cable. Meh. I'll mess with it later.
USB gets pissy sometimes with cables
I bought a USB A-C cable to try to get more range on my headphones, and the new cable doesn't communicate
there is one specific type of usb a-c I like because it does usb 3.0 gen 2

if only it wasn't ugly and kinda thick
hehe work today is being fun
ooo
that's actually better than I thought it'd be given how warm the case is
the fan was basically off 
No war? Breh
Same day delivery finally working g600 coming 🙏
Endgame usecase for decks

ugly trash
they're coming later pretty sure
although I don't know if I need 128 threads and a 350W TDP lmao
I'm not even using the 12 threads I have now
the front is ugly but the body shape is ok? it reminds me of a saturn sky lol
https://videocardz.com/press-release/amd-ryzen-threadripper-5000wx-series-launching-through-system-integrators-next-month it's available from integrators already atm but will be available to consumers eventually
it's a shame there's no market for it
go for the 12c/24t version then 
was probably one of the best looking cars GM made
closer analysis yields a couple things I would have done differently, like the ugly fog lights and that bucktooth grille that was oh-so-popular at the time
yeah, because they didn't change the opel roadster design at all lmao
-shrug- that explains a lot 😄
the saturn sky is just the EU car with a different badge
the pontiac solstice is what you get when GM decides to "improve" a car by changing the body panels
i liked the roadsters at that point when they decided to put silver a pillars on them lol
corsair has the a380 listed in their PC parts configurator thing
but it's poop so I don't know why they even put it there 
then again I also liked the crossfire roadster derp

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-arc-a380-graphics-now-have-their-own-very-first-water-block it even has a waterblock now 
great, now you can be shit and cool
although why would you try and overclock an unstable card to make it even more unstable 
https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-meg-x670e-godlike-pcb-and-specs-leak-out-2421-phase-vrm-design-for-amd-ryzen-7000-series oh yeah we got an idea of specs for a 670E
24-phase VRM 🤔
a firm competitor with the bugatti veyron for ugliest coupe
i mean it's an enthusiast board so it's overkill on vrms but it gives an idea
i don't think it is, could be wrong but some x570 use 12+2 so 24+2+1 is pretty insane
the x570 godlike does 14+4+1 so yeah it's pretty insane
yeah, but also consider that the power consumption is almost double, so
zen 3 is what, 105W PPT? zen 4 touching 230 PPT?
i mean potentially yeah
24 may not even be enough if you decide to try to crack the 6GHz barrier

and that ax1600 looks like it will get a real workout with these new chips
i mean it'll be fine probably considering they were doing 5.5 consistent
yeah, but the reason power consumption is bonkers this generation is because they're going over 5 GHz
switching losses are to the fourth power of frequency in silicon
getting to 6 may push the power consumption over 350W easy
yeah but it'll be fine probably 😎
Tried a n mmo mouse for 5 seconds unbelievable instant return
Back to normal mouse
Nvm getting used to it kinda mabye
ehhe dang
ew lol
My CPU and CPU fan are being prepared for shipment
Everything else by now has been shipped out and is on the way

@deep sapphire 
amsoil is out of oil stock forever :((
prolly shoulda bought a 4L or somethin
wtf i want a refund
Gonna need a plunger I think... Maybe two.
Now that Netflix is imploding, S2 never bc they poor now rite
Idk it’s probably cheaper to make than some other stuff
It makes me wanna get Netflix to watch it
wish that was me
streaming easiest job in the world 
Did you quit without another job lined up? Smh
didn't project farm try to run an engine entirely off seafoam?
That's what I said. It's fine due to my living situation for now... Wanna try find something remote tbh
remote would be great, never have to leave my house 
Will a gas engine run on 100% Seafoam? Let's find out!

I think the coolest one they did was running an engine off gas vapors
worked breddy gud but it wasn't necessarily more efficient
Want to move somewhere more affordable so being remote would help massively I think
I’ll be honest, I’m sure working remote is nice but at the same time I would find it very difficult to actually work lol and being home all the time gets kinda old. But so does driving in traffic so guess it’s still better
Talking about work....
Computer I got in has like 28482929 flavors of malware and hoping Malwarebytes makes it safe enough to be within 10 meters off
Mmm yep
Yep yep
geez
Try kaspersky rescue disk it’s free and it scans the drive in a pre boot environment so it’ll get rid of everything even if it tries to block anti virus software
We used it all the time it was a life saver
Eh I just use this to get it less annoying while I manually rescue the important files
then I put in a new ssd and hammer the old one
old people
I’ve never seen someone have such bad luck with PCs before
ice's luck is worse than mine now 🙏
me: no problems for 5 years beyond random BSOD that I solved
others: OMG MY PSU DIED IN 1 YEAR AND MY SSD DIED TODAY DESTROYING MY DATA AND MY GPU FRIED ITSELF
What are you running now
are the others dipping their hardware in frying oil or somethin
yeah, BSOD is luckily easy enough at times to fix
Also this is a great reason why water cooling sucks because if something dies you gotta fuck around with your loop
ice should've just made sure everything was working before installing a loop 
like well within working

I mean, yeah, it sucks having to pull the waterblock off to replace a CPU, but you do it like once every 3-5 years
having the significant advantage of not having to worry about temperatures fuckin ever is worth it
you got colored liquid 🤢
It entirely depends what your component is, if you are hard tubing etc
hard tubing is an aesthetic choice and if you do it you need to accept that it's going to be a huge bitch to modify your computer
the upside of ice having to drain his loop is he resets his maintenance timer 
tygon soft tubing has practically zero degradation and it's very flexible 
Lul
at least you can change your own stuff and fix it yourself
not long enough
I need other people still to help me with stuff because while I know how to pick hardware and troubleshoot it I still do not know how to put it together
yeah, we'd yell at you and keep yelling at you until you stop building your own pc
that's the easiest part 😭
yes
troubleshooting should be the hard part while putting it together is easy

if lucky the 5700xt is 6% faster when it works at 1440p vs a 3060
I know little about hardware but somehow I figured out that reducing the speed of my ram and voltage would fix the BSODs
when I buy a new gpu I will try and put it in the case myself
I kinda think the suggestion of ditching the WD nvmes for SATA SSDs makes sense tbh
altho I heard that new gpus use new pins not the one my 1070 uses
i mean not 100% confirmed
the 30 series
well I can just google my 1070 pins and the 3080 pins then it should be a simple unplug the old and plug in the new while DDUing the old drivers in safe mode
i mean aside from it needing more connectors yeah
how often do you compile teams?
can't compile shit if it doesn't work
the ultimate remote work scam
and how long does it take?
here's what you do
you should buy another pc while you fix your current one
yes
:^)
speedy gets it
build a work pc with a single large nvme
use this pc for other stuff
ez

take it out of your kid's college fund obvs
you mean you're afraid of your wife lol

dell
"ICE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NEW $5k CHARGE ON THE CC"
😔
is she a mountie?
that's pretty poggin, there's a kickstarter for a 4k wireless touchscreen display
15.6" diagonal, not exactly yuge but if you're looking for something bigger than the switch's display that's still kind of portable
by the time you actually get it, probably will have way better stuff out there 😔
that's what she said
uses mmwave for the wireless, so it seems like it's pretty close to cutting edge?
To quote Eazy E, "throw it in the gutter and go buy another"
to be fair, the warranty on an EV is more of a meme outside the battery pack
there's nothing that can really go "wrong" except maybe the electronic brake booster
😔 had to let the 4k wireless display thing go, it's too niche for me and it's $540 for a 15.6" display
have to actually start prioritizing my spending 
wonder how much the XXXTREME high end boards will go for
probably like $800
$1000 for a board?

that sounds great and all until some drunk dude smashes your car's fender or bumper or whatever
and then the company takes 8 months to get you replacement parts because they prioritized it all for new builds
(tesla does this)
(ugly truth: SO DO MOST OTHER CAR COMPANIES ATM)
They already are around 800ish for ultra high end
So probably 1k-1.5
it took forever to get my subie out of the body shop because they needed to order a radiator bracket and no dealerships in the metro area had one 
Considering there’s now an even higher end chipset
yea
I paid $700 for my asus rampage in 2016 
as much shit as tesla gets for that
Lol rip
'on national backorder' has become a meme for cars generally
worth it considering how stable it's been
it's been 6 years and it still works like new so I think I got my money's worth 
it does if you're not named icehunter lmao
Yeah but that’s hedt isn’t it? so probably even more nowadays
yeah, HEDT board
Don’t ice smh
so fairly mature chipset compared to consumer chip and the rampage was developed at the tail end of that platform's lifecycle
Don’t order anything, have your wife order it
so it was like, the ultimate of everything
You’re ass at this luck of the draw
top-end power phases, voltage regulators, etc
Rumor is intel isn’t coming for a new hedt until next year 
Hank should buy it for himself lol
His pc is ancient compared to you
Ewww no
poggin, intel can suck it since their idea of HEDT is to use crippled xeons that failed power validation

enjoy your server chipset that's on LTS from four years ago
Have a link to the kickstarter? My friend was talking about wanting something portable for going to conventions and such
I backed it initially but thinking about having another $730 charge on my credit card next month made me very uncomfy
especially since I want to start getting pieces for a new PC by the end of the year
also, if you think you're going to use your laptop at conventions, you fuckin won't
save the weight and just don't bring a PC or tablet or whatever
no, I want the full sized, power inefficient cores
having four useful cores and 8 low power cores is useless
yea besides with the z690 it doesn't even wor kright if you have 4 sticks of ddr5 ><
what kinda bs is that
i want 8 ram sticks!
smol indie company, hardware design is hard
wtf their goal was $382? heh
Honestly not surprised given that is a first gen board for DDR5 right? Going all 4 sticks always stresses the controller more
Got it fixed finally?
Ice had to disable a bunch of shit in the BIOS right?
New amd stuff should be good i imagine since brand new highest end chipset
it depends on how the funding is structured, setting a low goal means that they get to brag that they're 15000% funded which draws more attention
one of the rookie mistakes kickstarter campaigns run is that they set the funding goal at their intended profit level and it takes forever for a campaign to hit $15k or whatever, especially towards the end of the campaign when people see time is running out and the campaign isn't close to funding
if a campaign is funded you're definitely getting your thing if you back, so it's more incentive to get in on it
I've seen a few campaigns die that way, they set the funding value at their true goal level instead of something that will get eyes on the campaign
Kickstart a Z77 board /s
being tagged as a "kickstarter project we love" is free marketing and you need to be funded in a certain period of time after campaign launch to qualify for it
Might be able to afford the fab time at a higher node process like that heh
Its still exploiting the system imho bc they only have like 2 dozen buyers so far
oh yeah, for sure
Are there many other wireless monitors out there, even for like 1440p or something?
sometimes you get bad vibes from a campaign and these guys are approaching the "this doesn't feel like you're going to get what you paid for" regime
Looks like their pricepoint is meant to match up with this: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenScreen-Wireless-Portable-MB16AWP/dp/B0B17T5F4W/
yeah, but asus is a real company and these guys are selling a 4k version for slightly more than the FHD version
approaching "deeply sus" territory for me
I'm a big fan of gambling money on preorders but I don't think those guys will deliver
I've been thinking about buying a mini projector to bring with to conventions or on camping trips. Pack a white sheet to hang between trees and watch shit
I don't know what people do with their time at conventions that they need to bring a whole-ass AV suite with them lmao
there's so much fuckin content to see
It's really hard to say. I wonder what a 15.6" 4K costs on digikey or aliexpress
There is a 4K 15.6" without battery for $280

plugged my old ssd into my pc, had a mere 7k hours on it!
like the only thing that seems really interesting about the innlines thing is that it has a dummy huge range and low latency
aliexpress.com
Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com
No battery but this seems decent. 1440p 120hz
And could always power it off a powerbank
Since the board isnt technically broken I would just flip it on ebay or amazon used and take a little hit on price
Then buy another board
Since your problems are just a hardware issue with Z690 chipset right?
So unless the next person uses 3 drives they wouldnt even know. Yeah I would just flip it
ok so
have you tested it with 2x nvme?
my asus z690 seems fine with 2
presumably one drive is OS/apps, one drive is corp shit, and the 3rd is extra storage?
wondering if you could run 2x nvme, sell an nvme, and slap in a sata ssd in place of the 3rd, for downloads etc where you won't really notice the speed loss
obviously not ideal but it could give you nvme speeds on OS and work stuff
did anyone catch the part where he said support told him to use slower drives lmao
"uh yeah our hardware can't handle you using good parts, please use cheaper crap so we can keep up, thanks"
I'll add this to the ever growing list of reasons why I fucking hate nvme
customer support and blaming the customer
a match made in hell
I still have 64GB of DDR3 that may still be good 🤔
never did get a chance to re-test it after the board exploded
@tame fulcrum Have you tried asking for a refund since it doesn't perform as advertised?
When did you first contact them for troubleshooting help?
can you sell it back to them privately for 100% of the value then?
Maybe if you raise a stink on Twitter they will advance to Tier2 and refund you lol
Bc obviously you were going back and forth with them to troubleshoot and tried the second board etc. so this has been an ongoing issue since before the 30 days
Them not getting back to you for 12 days is their fault not your fault. I would definitely escalate or bitch on Twitter
Or if you went small claims court they probably wouldn't bother to send a lawyer heh
actually surprising how helpful tweeting at brand profiles is
Sometimes just the threat of legal action will get them to refund
whereas the support on their own website is garbage
depends how famous you are
ain't nobody give a fuck if your reach is your mom and dad
Bc it sounds like you're being dicked by some Tier1 whose hands are tied and doesn't feel like escalating

i tweeted at bitmap books regarding something i bought from them and they were like "email here so we can resolve this" and then in the correspondence with them they were like "we're disappointed you went to social media with this" lmao
"we're disappointed you went to social media with this" "I'm disappointed you manufactured a giant piece of shit, so I guess we're even"
lol
Need to get @devout nexus to give @tame fulcrum the CEO's email address 
do you have confirmation that a non-asus z690 can handle 3x nvme properly? either gigabyte or msi?
ErP ready
never had a bad gigabyte mobo
I had three
each one of them had their own bullshit way of failing
my favorite was the one where the main chipset fucked up somehow so it would corrupt the MBR on any attached drive after about a month
if you're near the overload condition or your PSU is a piece of shit, yeah
if your 12V was at fault your pc wouldn't be powered on
that's a pretty severe vdroop for "doing nothing"
also software monitoring lel
powerwash simulator is running
that's because x670 supports like 20 USB ports lmao
I thought rampage was the top end board
🤔
if the crosshair XXXTREME is the top end board I guess I'll get it
imagine buying MSI instead
lmao
i wonder which board i'd buy
never had a problem with asus either

I'd consider MSI if the specs are there
I think MSI has a 24 phase VRM scheme for their top end x670?
24 phases 
you literally just built a PC lmao
if you have another $8000 to blow send it to me
none of you nerds will take advantage of those phases :p
i got to admit the amazon reviews about the razer charging docks not working after a while are.. correct
wire 5eva
seems fixable just by cleaning the pogo pins with alcohol and a q-tip
but it's amusing that they are that sensitive. can't even see the dirt.
i could understand if they were getting clogged with lint or whatever
yo vtech where's my gaming mouse
XXXTREME OVERCLOCKAN
although I bet I'll get a fuckin wood tier sample as usual and it shits the bed as soon as I try to push it above 5.6GHz
sorry to hear your still dealing with th at asus boot issue man
im sure esp if you got the warranty they will do what it takes
if the flaw is in the asus part itseld tho im guessing th ey can only replace/offer alternative
Facebook has lost $16B on Meta since last year ... geezus christ
What are they even spending it on?
they lost it on crypto and investors being spooked since apple shit on their revenue
they're only offering the same exact model/brand afaik, won't offer alternative
kinda daft, if two are doing it, a 3rd will too
Mostly the latter afaik
yeah i agree. which store is it that your talking to? i can put in a word if needed
@tame fulcrum take this kind offer
ahhhh clean desk feels good ^_^
I feel like I could use more velcro cable ties 
there! ordered a 25ft roll 😄
Yeah I need to get my shit sorted out. When I order the backpack and screwdriver from LTT I'll get some cable ties with it and I need a floor duct
You can say what you want about their content, but their merch is legit 🤷♀️
wish I had a solution for my headphone cable 
They make rewindable headphone cable holders
it's for looking fucking weird 😄
i ain't buying no youtuber merch but you do you
where is the source that it plugs into?
Is that a Moonlander?
oh no
nah it's a dygma raise
drill a hole in the desk and
even if I had a wood desk, I wouldn't do that
Ah, my friend has a Moonlander. He doesn't use it regularly tho
but the people on youtube said to do it!
ugh who spends $350 on a keyboard and then doesn't use it regularly 😦
its an investment
Try to find something like this, but with cable thicker than 54 AWG? heh https://www.amazon.com/Protronix-3-5mm-Auxiliary-Retractable-Plated/dp/B004GLRJBC
I has question
the speculative kind?
Are there things I can buy to mount a monitor off my desk if I can't use a wall mount
is there any other kind?
He's addicted to collecting keyboards and now has his own 3d printer and CNC mill for making his own frames and keys...
investing in good ergonomics to avoid getting repetitive stress injury or carpal tunnel syndrome is great!

Assuming your desk has at least 3-4 inches of flat space in the back you can clamp to
It has zero inches
Fuck
Waif
Wait
Otherwise I wonder if a floor mic stand could hold a monitor mount up lol
Never mind
but i wouldn't unless your screen is at least 32" or larger
Your other option is to just buy a stand that lifts the monitor up a few inches
for example https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CZRRYGC
pretty sure there are better options for use with a monitor
rate my setup
Or mount it on the wall anyways and just fill in the screw holes before you leave the apartment 
LOL
10/10 if you have episodes of Magic School Bus to show
i hope that there's a school somewhere that still has those
I have a better idea
like
Just fucking rotate my monitor
i'm sure they have a computer with a projector as most do
but it'd be awesome/funny if the teacher was like
Because apparently mine can do that
Which I didn't know until five seconds ago
fuck yeah
the only funny thing I can add to this is when I graduated high school DVDs were already everywhere and nobody used VCRs anymore.... except teachers at school 😄
Lets bust out some overhead projectors and write on the laminate sheets with expo markers!
NOOO
this stupid thing is why I got an F in my first intermediate algebra class
near sightedness + sleepy because dark room
y'all have one of those in assembly to sing fuckin songs?
- the kinda teacher that writes on the glass with an expo pen and then cleans it off with a piece of towel paper and , if you're lucky, some kinda liquid in a spray bottle. If you're not.... spit.
How about some filmstrips? If your school was really fancy they even automatically advanced to the next strip when the bell chimed!
i have never seen these before
We had those in my elementary school. The automatic kind
It was like combining a roll of film with a slide projector
when I was like idk 7-ish? My brother and my dad were taking computer classes at community college. they brought me along once because I read all their books and was a nerd >>
And you played a cassette tape with them
the teacher had this transparent LCD they put on top of the overhead projector
And the cassette would make a chime sound after the narrative was done for that slide and that would tell the thing to advance the filmstrip by 1 frame
yea, never seen em before
And I remember in kindergarten for the one year they had this massive projector that could show our art even though it wasn't clear ... it blew my mind at the time but obviously it was just like a video camera
The thing was massive though, like the size of a 30" CRT TV
But schools always tend to have old tech bc budgets are small
Besides the filmstrip, they also sometimes have these but I can't remember if they played an audio tape with it or not or just talked about them before advancing the slide

the monitor stand is the single most expensive thing on that desk
sure
Eat it

I want an L-shaped desk so maybe I'll have to look into that one
I have 72" x 55" to work with
Along the two walls of the corner that is
rehade
there's other things that wouldn't be nice about it
but whatever
that's all that should be seen 😒
GUYS
ITS HERE

The big box
I'm waiting until I have everything
Then I'll unbox it all
I see no damage to the actual boxes or anything that could point to tampering
These are 2 of my 8 parts
heck yea! congrats! 😄
2 of 8 parts acquired
If Amazon is to be believed four more parts arrive tomorrow and I'll probably get them first thing Saturday morning
Oh I saw that post earlier

Don't forget multiple extenders connected together
And it needs nothing now
That entire setup caught fire
Not a single thing survived
I was gonna say “Let the setup catch on fire” complete with the music but i guess someone was ahead of me
It's a 4 picture post on r/PCMR
The first two pictures are before the fire
The last two are after
Hopefully their coin wallets burned with it
Bought an mmo mouse is it supposed to have all these buttons on the side?
That's literally what they're for
True
Yep
If it didn't have all those buttons it wouldn't be a mmo mouse
Do I need to configure the buttons or anything? If not just gonna set up my hotbar
Nope
Alr ty
They should work automatically
Time to make a whole hotbar monks combos
If it's a 12 button side they're bound to 1 through 0 as well as - (11) and = (12) by default I'm pretty sure
you can probably set them to different buttons though
I can't believe someone that would juryrig a system like that wouldn't make sure they had properly rated extension cords and amps on the circuit etc.

the thing that stands out ios how much that mirror deforms on the video
guessing it's just the camera thouhg
but it looks like it's made out of rubber
One of my monitors keeps on flickering off, sometimes accompanied by my PC making a noise like a new device has been connected.
it's been ran thorugh a stabilizer

Seemed to have started when I plugged my TV back into my PC.
They all seem secure...
Nah I just use my laptop charger as a footwarmer
Work MBP: Overheats on voice calls, gets a staple stuck in it cause magnets near vents don't mix with small metal objects
Gaming laptop: first thing I did was pry open the back and shove in a HDD, no problemm
I don't remember whether I mentioned it before, but if you take a break from MBP keyboards and then start using them again, you remember how shit they are
Like just no travel. Or clickiness
Also you can't use the transformer as a footwarmer cause it's attached onto the plug. Which blocks other outlets such that the power strips at work actually have some labelling on the last outlet of the power strip that indicates 'mac laptop chargers go here'
Primary reasons for using a mac I've found are:
- you're some really nice high end digital artist
- Corporate IT management on it is better/easier
- You're a stuck up asshole who prizes looks over function.
The oculus people still have to get Windows-based gaming laptops anyway 
When I said oculus I meant the people who worked on developing oculus
@sly elk I think you just got called out
I mean like if you wanted to use the oculus yourself you'd still have to get a windows anyway 
Yeah I'm fine on Windows as well

first gen i5 isn't even that bad under leenox
deleted because it ends really badly
6 killed, 9 injured in fiery crash as car runs light, slams into cross traffic in Windsor Hills (about 15 minutes northeast of LAX airport)
sheesh
yea it's beyond wild
two cars just annihilated
i'm gonna say
streets like that shouldn't even exist >>
like it shouldn't be physically possible to hit 100mph on a city street sheesh
in that case i'm pretty sure it's a big street at the end of a giant hill
basically a freeway with intersections
tbh
this is from the direction the mercedes came from
i'm actually surprised they didn't lose control up there
either way, people go through there doing 60-70mph all the time
they could make the intersection a double, at least
it reminds me of why i think driving is scary thouhg
yea ya just never know though
oh yeeaaa I see this sometimes
here's one of my favorites though
it has a cute little gate for the sidewalk
lol
If you have a fast car, you can get up to 100mph in not a lot of distance. You can't account for someone being suicidally stupid. Maybe they wanted to die and didnt consider all the others they would take with them
Treat every intersection like a 4way stop. Done.
It's funny to look at that and see how much 14 was originally just 11 with ... well I was going to say spitpolish but ... really just 14 was 11 except made shittier
sometimes it surprises me
Lets be honest: People don't know how to drive the streets when the power is on either 
Eh? Wasn't that before 2013
I've always intended to play 14 more than I have. I had a lot of fun in ARR and such then always seem to be a full expan behind lol
Like I'm still working on Shadowbringers atm
Bruh 
That's funny I think I'm on Excalibur as well
ur not alone u got me
I guess bc its a cool name a lot of ppl chose it
I played a lot in ARR and completed Turn5 at the time and got a decent amount of Extreme drops
