its alright, kinda big

[dreamy chasm]

ill put this on the list to consider ig

[hard drift]

wtf is this

[dreamy chasm]

they take old microsoft mice and change the shells

[hard drift]

😭

[dull garnet]

i mean, alienware used to come with ms mice

[dreamy chasm]

they have the vanilla shell available

[dreamy chasm]

ah

ngl

one of the fantech wireless mice would be perfect

[dull garnet]

SOVL

[dreamy chasm]

if the side buttons on it weren't garbage

oh, cute

[dull garnet]

pre Dell acquisition

[dreamy chasm]

the side buttons on these apparently have dogshit amounts of pre travel

shape would've otherwise been perfect

[dull garnet]

when buying a mouse i only look at click time + cost

that's why i got a viper 8k

[dreamy chasm]

The shape and mouse buttons are v important to me

unfortunately

i use them for too much

[dull garnet]

i never use side buttons at all lol

[dreamy chasm]

@potent arrow should i solder pink leds on this

might look cute

[potent arrow]

or really abd

[dreamy chasm]

hmm

definitely not sketchy

[kindred brook]

It's alive

[hard drift]

[hard drift]

lol rip

[dreamy chasm]

rip

[modest moss]

[bitter girder]

Nice looking keyboard what is that

[bitter girder]

fuck i learned this

as far as i know its nowhere near gigabit

[dull garnet]

Megabit

[bitter girder]

thats actually somewhat cheap

i personally think gigabit speeds are a rip off but thats pretty decent

yeah not bad

uk still uses a mix of copper and fibre so we dont actually have true gigabit at the moment

but from what i've heard from people in america and now you

some sell gigabit speeds for stupid money and you're getting really decent prices

canadian you are right?

Changed in a good way?

[deep sapphire]

Guys I had to rent a ford

Forgive me

[bitter girder]

Nooooooo

[deep sapphire]

It’s all they had

[bitter girder]

I hate modern ford's

[deep sapphire]

😭

It’s a fuckin F-250 SuperDuty lmao

I just needed a car

“All we got”

[bitter girder]

Should have said you're just gonna use your legs

[deep sapphire]

I GOT 16 IN DA CHAMBAH

[bitter girder]

I AIN'T PLAYIN

[deep sapphire]

lmao you put the car into reverse and the car starts saying “OH SHIT BACK UP BACK UP”

[bitter girder]

hahahaha

my concern is why was his house so empty

it was like he went into sims build mode and sold everything so he could pay rent

but still saved money to have 16 in da chambah

[potent arrow]

Are you high

I think your high

Yeah uh

[latent grotto]

what

[potent arrow]

That's not how this works necessarily lol

Why don't you do that to your house

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

hank is becoming a ford liker 😭

[deep sapphire]

Fuck that

[hard drift]

if you truly had dignity you wouldn't drive a ford you chevy liker

[bitter girder]

i mean its got a nice interior at least

god damn

why is everything priced so nice in canada wtf

hahhaahhaahahaha

that's a Ford thing

[bitter girder]

Fucking zeusjuice

[bitter girder]

[modest moss]

my wife, last night

[bitter girder]

hell yeah

bromine

i wanna try it so bad

i love stupidly spicy shit

sweet

but mostly burns

ahahah

[odd sand]

Honestly, you could probably get away with 250ft and if you aren't getting Cat6 what would you get?

@tame fulcrum https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Ethernet-Cable-250ft-CABLE-V015/dp/B01FIMM8WW

[deep sapphire]

[odd sand]

It's like Hank really is living in the 80s or 70s

I thought most trucks these days turned off half the valves at highway speed to actually get upper 20s in gas mileage?

[umbral moss]

yeah, the cylinder killer thing is for modern V8s

you can't really do it on a four banger though

[odd sand]

Then how is he getting 11mpg on a 4cyl

[modest moss]

11.4 mpg, jesus Hank

also don't use your phone at fucking 70 mph

[odd sand]

Dont worry he's on cruise control /s

[bitter girder]

how do you take a screenshot in a car

[umbral moss]

driving like a dick

if I lead foot my car it gets like 10mpg, especially in stop and go

some people just drive like they're extras in a fast and furious movie so their transaxles are very sad and they get non-existent fuel economy

[odd sand]

I find it very humorous you'll spend $500 on fans and buy a 3090 followed by a 4090, but the $25 price diff between Cat6 vs 5e is a bridge too far

[bitter girder]

ahahahahahahahahahha

truuuuuueee

[odd sand]

at the very least I hope you try to put conduit thru bc if you go with something like fiber later instead, its all set for that. Could also do neat stuff like usb over fiber

[modest moss]

wait he bought a 4090?

@tame fulcrum is this true?

[odd sand]

He was talking about it so I assumed he did but maybe he didn't.

[hard drift]

I mean ice doesn’t need 6

[bitter girder]

i think he was just thinking about it

same with looking for an ultrawide

[hard drift]

Unless he’s using up to 10Gb

[bitter girder]

i use 10gbs of you

[hard drift]

[odd sand]

That's the thing, you aren't wiring for today, you're wiring for the next 10 years etc.

[bitter girder]

always good to future proof

[hard drift]

Next 10 years we’re going to be beyond 10gb for sure

[bitter girder]

unless you're in the uk and the future comes 60 years after everyone else

[hard drift]

[bitter girder]

you guys heard about the new iphone 6 bending?

[odd sand]

Cat6 can do 25gbe I believe. Cat6e can even do 40gbe afaik

[hard drift]

I thought 6 was 10gb?

[jaunty light]

They can do well over rating

40G can be done on short runs

[bitter girder]

cat6 5 cm cable speeds

[odd sand]

10gb for 100 meters, but 25gbe for like 40 meters or less, which is most homes

[jaunty light]

10G is old anyways we are on 25G+

[bitter girder]

he was simply browsing

[odd sand]

OIC

Well definitely dont need 500ft then heh

[bitter girder]

sounds like you need cat7

[umbral moss]

cat 11

[bitter girder]

cat6q

so weird seeing them in a pot

[odd sand]

Home Depot or Lowes sells stuff like that

Also if you're wiring a wall plate you need the wall jacks with a punch tool, not a crimp tool. Although if you just have a switch in the garage I suppose you might need both

Home Depot has tools to rent/borrow, so you might be able to get those from them for the day, or if you have the measurements, you could crimp the cable right there and probably not have to pay a rental fee at all

[modest moss]

[hard drift]

hank wishes he could leave, he just gets lured in by the thoughts of the potential catgirls he can talk to

[languid sequoia]

you don't need it 😐

stop falling down rabbit holes ice

[umbral moss]

🤔

don't buy more expensive cable stock just because it's more expensive lmao

especially if there's no cert for the cable you're buying that shows it actually meets the spec it claims it does

nothing like buying cat 6a cable that barely meets cat 5 over 10ft

when in doubt, blame the producer

never the consumer

[umbral moss]

it's the company that's wrong, not my dumb ass

[kindred brook]

I mean why is it removable

[dull garnet]

HOW COULD CORSAIR DO THIS

[hard drift]

[bitter girder]

so you can screw the ssds in

[kindred brook]

You can have the same effect without that

[bitter girder]

it would be fucking awkward

[hard drift]

just tape it

[kindred brook]

Yeah

I was about ready

[hard drift]

i'm kidding smh

[bitter girder]

bluetac 👍

[kindred brook]

To get gorrila double sided tape

[hard drift]

I was like

[umbral moss]

why wouldn't you tape it?

[kindred brook]

I don't have access to my. Cables

[umbral moss]

aluminum tape would work just fine

[bitter girder]

ahhahaaha

[kindred brook]

You mean for planes?

[hard drift]

i hate the look of taping it

[kindred brook]

Isn't that 600 dollars a roll

[hard drift]

but that's my personal preference

[kindred brook]

I'm not made of money

Damn Ed

Expensive tape user here

[bitter girder]

tape flexing now is it

[umbral moss]

you have plenty of money that you saved from buying a $10 desk lmao

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

Damn

My £30 desk is pretty bougie in comparison

[umbral moss]

uh... isn't that your own fault for not labeling the wires or the panel?

didn't you run the ethernet though?

[late basalt]

Disconnect cable #x and figure out what device stopped working

[sly elk]

Ice plug something in to the wall jack

Then go downstairs and watch which link light on the switch turns on

Or move an Ethernet cable between every port on the patch panel until the switch port lights up

No idea

[bitter girder]

corsair moment

[umbral moss]

probably high temp silicone so it doesn't pop free

if it's hard soldered the pins are fragile as fuck so they don't want people pulling on the wire and breaking them right off

[dull garnet]

it looks like hot snot but feel free to defend corsair

[bitter girder]

ahahahaahaa

[umbral moss]

don't look inside any power supply you buy then lmao

[dull garnet]

they use hot glue in their psus?

[umbral moss]

yeah

they use high temp silicone on the inductors so it doesn't make so much noise

and anything they think might vibrate loose in shipping

it's extremely common because solder isn't particularly strong structurally

so looking like shit is preferable to an RMA because a ribbon cable fucked off in shipping and the solder broke off

[dull garnet]

is it in screen?

[bitter girder]

its own button

[dull garnet]

google chose to stop using competent engineering on their SOC to save a few bucks and it shows

[bitter girder]

reall

[dull garnet]

what's wrong with the soc

[umbral moss]

it's buggy as fuck and the modem doesn't work half the time

wifi/cellular will just fuck off even with good signal

[bitter girder]

ive had that issue with two phones

one of them is the sony

[dull garnet]

mine works fine

so skill issue

i know the US and EU models are different tho

[umbral moss]

US model got the gen 1 tensor thing

it's garbo

[bitter girder]

its a mix bag apparently

[umbral moss]

I hate everything about the pixel 6 but I needed a phone after my pixel 2 decided it didn't need to hold a charge anymore

[dull garnet]

its something to do with the different version of 5g

[umbral moss]

nah, the network dropping thing is a known issue with the pixel 6

all the pixel 6 phones have it, and my guess is the pixel 7 does too

[dull garnet]

mine doesn't

[umbral moss]

since they probably spent zero dollars on the fuckin modem

and a million billion dollars on AI assisted zero lux photo algorithms

i bought an iphone 11 from argos

to find out apple dropped it by £100

i ran to argos the next day and tried getting a refund

got given an L

[dull garnet]

[bitter girder]

the s21 came out and was really interested in it

traded the 11 in for the s21

samsung contacted me two weeks later saying i owned them £100 because they found dust in the back camera lens

[sly elk]

if the xs was a lot cheaper

[bitter girder]

it would not have been

[sly elk]

i thinkt he xs looked better than the 11 at least lol

[bitter girder]

yeah it did it had more premium materials

and a better screen

that was it

[sly elk]

11 introduced the 'pro' right?

[bitter girder]

yeah

[sly elk]

xr -> 11, xs -> 11 pro

[bitter girder]

the x and xs were basically jsut pros themselves

[dull garnet]

Professional

For professionals

[sly elk]

yea

so its okay

[dreamy chasm]

Ill just

[dull garnet]

So how many skus are there

That monitor shelf lmao. It's $900.

that keyboard is nuts too

"is twitter in the shitter?"

[odd sand]

One basic-bitch monitor. Sad.

[odd sand]

He made the comments on SAO Day so yes, he was making fun of SAO

[snow cypress]

Should I go xlr mic or stay with usb mics for doing stuff like youtube or streaming on twitch?

Right now I'm using the hyperx solocast usb mic

[sly elk]

XLR opens you up to all kinds of hardware mixers and interfaces and stuff

if you want to play around with that stuff

[snow cypress]

That sounds a little complicated (and pricey) . Might just stay with usb until I'm brave enough to jump into that 😅

[odd sand]

Depends on how much you want to invest in the hobby. Realistically the average streamer is perfectly well serviced by a USB mic.

It's only when you want/need to mix audio between yourself, game audio, guest streamers etc. that it becomes worth going XLR and having a proper mixer

[snow cypress]

So would the HyperX QuadCast be a good upgrade from the SoloCast?

[sly elk]

you can try listening to some videos where they review them

https://youtu.be/M1I1Dfw1HU8?t=600

this dude does a side-by-side

[sly elk]

from what I've seen they sound pretty much the same though, and I do really like my quadcast S. at least for aesthetics lol

I ended up buying an elgato wave 3 because my work laptop doesn't like the quadcast S anymore ><

unfortunately the capacitive mute button on top has some weird software BS going on that fucks with webex

the quadcast S didn't have that problem

but the wave 3 has a sweet knob thing for controlling the connected headphone volume

[kindred brook]

can I copy my FFXIV folders

to my new drive

wtf

I don't break 120 fps anymore

[sly elk]

lol this dude

No documentation, no source control, some systems were cowboy coded directly in prod, no ticket system or PM processes of any kind...it was a mess. But the real dealbreaker was when one of the leads walked up to my desk and warned me that he'd "kick my ass" if I touched any of the files he owned, and that I wasn't allowed to ask him any questions because he didn't have time for "newbie shit". The manager onboarding me just shrugged it off with the old "Oh, that's just how he is."

[royal forge]

Lmao

[umbral moss]

considering the graveyard of dell PCs in front of my IT guy's door from this week, "you're getting a dell" is, in fact, a threat

four machines down in less than three days, hard drive failures or TPM broke so the machine got booted off the network

[sharp star]

"Dude, you're getting a Dell!" vs. "Dude, you're getting a Dell."

[fair parcel]

I know they are big in servers didn't even know they made laptops anymore

[umbral moss]

they make everything, like any OEM

although I'm not going to lie, if you want pre-built stuff, HP's omen line is breddy gud for the price

maybe the marketing works (they were a sponsor for OWL), but the omen tower I saw in best buy last week was only $799 and had a ryzen 7 with a 3060 and 32GB of RAM

seemed pretty reasonably priced for them to have done all the labor for you

[kindred brook]

Where would my old character and macro data be stored at on my old hRd drive

[dull garnet]

hmmm my old hard drive only has this?

wtf lol

🙏 heck yeah

[kindred brook]

I can just copy and paste all of this right

will it have my rotations

[void dove]

it will have your hotbars

[kindred brook]

oh nice

[void dove]

look in the FFXIV_Chr folders, adn you can see the file names, gives you an idea of what is stored there

do you ever need to install codecs anymore

or can you just run vlc

for everything

[sly walrus]

thought common practice was to drop vlc off a cliff

[kindred brook]

wait really?

whats wrong with vlc?\

[sly walrus]

think it turned into spyware at one point

[dull garnet]

vlc is good if you're not based

otherwise mpv

[kindred brook]

whats mpv

[dull garnet]

dw bout it

huh, didn't realise azumanga got a blu release. nvm it is a bad upscale

[kindred brook]

what does based mean

[sly walrus]

if you don’t know, you’re not based

[odd sand]

VLC is an okay option that will run on most devices. I prefer MPC-BE https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/

Less buggy and better subtitle support

[kindred brook]

I used to download

K-lite pack

and CCCCP

lol

[dull garnet]

ah the combined community codec pack

[odd sand]

Yeah CCCP was good, but it hasn't been updated in ages and MPC-BE has the ffmpeg decoder built into it, so I have yet to find anything it doesn't decode

[dull garnet]

https://mpv.io/

[odd sand]

H265, AV1, etc.

And since it's been consistently forked from MPC for many years now, it basically has been around for 20 years now

[modest moss]

I tend to still just install the mpc-hc pack because it's in ninite but the one Shinon suggests is good too, have used that

VLC is just an emergency backup thing now in case there's some obscure file MPC won't play

[odd sand]

MPC-HC is just the previous maintainer, then they "retired" and it was continued as MPC-BE by someone else

[modest moss]

haven't tried MPV

yeah it still just works fine and I never remember to install BE

[odd sand]

Realistically, as long as the decoder is kept up to date you could keep using it almost indefinitely. That was all CCCP was anyways: Codecs installed along with MPC

[modest moss]

@bitter girder asda lemon muffins

just

yeah

[lime wasp]

Alright Shue. You won.

The SFF build is dead.

Nothing.

I'll just keep what I have.

[dull garnet]

rip sff

long live carpet gang

dust mites in the psu = more fps

[lime wasp]

It was close but the tubing for the AIO was just at the wrong spacing to work.

Even if the tubing worked I don't think the VGA cables could've made the bend.

[potent arrow]

VGA cables...in the system?

[lime wasp]

I hope Amazon accepts the returns though 'cuz I wasn't kind to the packaging and I think I misplaced a few screws.

[potent arrow]

So out of the loop here rofl

[lime wasp]

EVGA labels their PCIE cables VGA for some reason.

[potent arrow]

Oh those

Most companies do...it's just the gpu cables

SFF is just figuring out how to wire things

I is use EK/LianLi aios specifically for their hose placements lol

[lime wasp]

Yeah the Phanteks one I got had the hoses too spaced out. You couldn't angle them to get in and allow room for my big GPU.

[lime wasp]

Only thing I might do now is see about getting a different ATX case in Black.

Maybe get the Black 5000T just to annoy Speed.

[dull garnet]

there are much cheaper ways to spite me

[lime wasp]

But are they as stylish?

[potent arrow]

Ice can you fling money my way so I can get a limited run keyboard that I can't afford at the moment lol

Rofl

[lime wasp]

What is an EVO?

Oh.

[potent arrow]

https://youtu.be/GUlTzvyJ4vE

Actually kinda mad I didn't see this GB coming up

So I'm actually gonna miss out on my grail

Hopefully it comes back up when I get money again

[lime wasp]

I thought about doing a custom loop but I'm not sure I wanna risk my GPU or if the cost would be worth it.

Like do I really wanna spend $800 even though my CPU and GPU already sit pretty even in MW2 and Infinite?

[lime wasp]

You know what the dumb part is? I almost went with that Evolve Shift XT SFF case instead of the Meshroom S and if I had my stuff would probably fit....

[hard drift]

And look what you’ve done

[dull garnet]

So which iphone

[umbral moss]

it's too bad apple killed the mini and is likely to kill the SE

no more small phones

only tedious giant phones

[dull garnet]

Don't people hate those

I don't really get why

iPhone 6 with a nu soc sounds decent to me

[umbral moss]

the smaller phones have kind of meh battery life because they have a physically smaller battery but the same SOC as the larger phones

[dull garnet]

I thought people wouldn't be happy with a 16:9 screen. Bring it back I say

[jaunty light]

Bring back 1610
