that's a problem with cryonaut

it works great for like a year i think

something like ketchup probably works great for like 5 mins hahaha

but oh man the smell must be so bad

[hard drift]

i mean when you can spend 5 dollars or whatever for a big bottle.... can't beat it

[steep jewel]

Hey folks. Has anyone ever experienced this error when installing the game?

Er, wait. I might be in the wrong place.

[hard drift]

try a vpn @steep jewel

sometimes that'll help

[steep jewel]

😮

[hard drift]

also try the quicklauncher

!faq quicklauncher

[opal panther]

[hard drift]

it will fix most of the other problems the default launcher has

[steep jewel]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a VPN. I will try your link if it crashes again! Thank you. I'm new new, so. Super eager to play, but can't get the dang thing to install. 😆

[hard drift]

can use proton or cyberghost if you need a free vpn

[steep jewel]

Interesting.

I will look into it! I'm still pretty green with VPNs. Only ever used trials of a couple.

Had no idea there were free ones. That's so cool.

[modest moss]

try the alternative launcher first

if that doesn't help it could be onedrive or your antivirus protecting your documents folder

[steep jewel]

I will. >.< I've tried to do this. . . gee, this is the third time. Painful to see the installation bar get so far, and then bam! Error.

Are first-time installations often a bit buggy?

[modest moss]

it is possibly resuming

[steep jewel]

I hope it is.

[modest moss]

honestly the official launcher is trash

[steep jewel]

LOL

T_T

I'll let you folks know how it goes.

Maybe I'll actually be able to play tonight.

[modest moss]

yeah please do, we'll try to help if it struggles

[steep jewel]

Thank you. You've all been kind.

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

[steep jewel]

Now, I just need to figure out what server to pick. 🤣

[hard drift]

Any that is open at this point lol

[modest moss]

if you don't already have friends playing I'd say just pick any server labelled 'preferred' in your region

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

that will get you double xp up to level 80

[steep jewel]

I do not. No friends yet. I've read about the ones labeled "preferred". Good for leveling up, right?

[modest moss]

yep yep

[steep jewel]

Cool. :3 I'll consider this.

[modest moss]

[steep jewel]

Indeed.

I didn't see any preferred.

But maybe it's because I have a trial account?

[hard drift]

for NA there are 0 preferred

[steep jewel]

I see, okay. Then that makes sense.

[hard drift]

too many congested to have a preferred i guess

[steep jewel]

Makes sense. 🤣

[modest moss]

worlds listed as New get bonuses too

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/world_transfer_service/population_balancing/#worldtype

[steep jewel]

Is Dynamis new?

Not sure I read about that one.

[hard drift]

yes

dynamis came out around fall

[steep jewel]

Interesting.

[hard drift]

if i am not mistaken it's phase 1 of 2 for na expansion

[steep jewel]

Well, I was also worried about choosing the right community, but it hardly matters with my trial account, since I can't interact with folks. But, if I do get the full game, then it may matter. Lol

[hard drift]

i mean you can always transfer if you're willing to pay, plus you can world travel. most of the community is fine

[steep jewel]

Indeed. I've heard great things!

naw been there done that in MMOs i wouldn't have the patience or schedule for it

[umbral moss]

did they ever patch the bug where you could glitch the glow effect on weapons so it would display even when you had the weapon stowed?

[modest moss]

I have never been aware of this but I would do it if I knew how

[umbral moss]

it was a bug way back in like, 3.x

I don't imagine anyone would have bothered to fix it since it doesn't affect anything

it's easily a tier D bug at best, it doesn't break the game and it's purely cosmetic

apparently there's something wrong with Samsung 990 Pros

[umbral moss]

yeah, they're made by samsung

[dull garnet]

flash memory is the one thing samsung does right

i still prefer sandisk though

[umbral moss]

as far as I know, samsung's micro for SSDs has been increasingly problematic

the nand isn't the issue, but the controller fucking up

[bitter girder]

classic samsung

[odd sand]

They didn't even update the CPU this time?

Is that classic Samsung though? I feel like for SSDs Samsung was always the gold standard

[dull garnet]

the 14 Pro has a stronger soc

but the base models use the same as last gen

they're so far ahead on soc design it doesn't really matter anyway

[odd sand]

So...what? They just upsell you on a 3% better camera?

Then they could just continue selling the 13 for another year. They still sell the Intel Mac Pros don't they?

[dull garnet]

[royal forge]

Back home

Im debating harvesting my old monitor

But

It would mean leaving just a tower

But if i have one 1440p monitor, my second one should be 1440p too...

[modest moss]

I mean, if you just have a secondary for chat/browsing it's fine to not match

I do prefer identical but compromises etc

[royal forge]

I'd like a mote flecible monitor arm tho

Cuz my bed is right next to my desk

So i wanna get an arm that can go lower and uh.. ?wider?

And im worried an identical 1440p monitor would be too heavy

[umbral moss]

not even, it's all ~ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE~ bullshit

so the camera is physically the same and they're charging you $1200 for a slightly improved algorithmic bokeh

[odd sand]

That should be just a driver update for the existing phone

[umbral moss]

why would they do that when they can sell you a whole new phone instead?

🤔

[odd sand]

Is that an FPGA?

They won't sell ME a new phone with that shit, but I'm sure there are some rubes that will /s

Written in verilog....chill satab

[cerulean talon]

Tf else am I supposed to do with the FPGA's I've got around?

[dull garnet]

play video games

[cerulean talon]

No, no, I've got a FPGA for that specifically already.

This is the other FPGA's.

[umbral moss]

just string together a bunch of them, like apple

these are especially funny because my bro drives a beemer

idk about now but when he had a 3 series his driving was horrible

[sly elk]

lol

someone hypothesized that the reason nissan drivers are so bad is because the CVT maximizes the amount of power available at any given time

so it's basically a poor person tesla

but the generic theory that "the cars bring out the worst in their drivers" seem really plausible for BMWs hahaha

[deep sapphire]

It’s 100 percent the drivers

Low credit scores, no auto insurance, narcissistic as fuck

[potent arrow]

the general types of people to drive BMWs tend to be rich kids with daddies monies or rich middle age people who dont give a fuck about anyone but themselves

cars attracts a certain demographic thats all

[sly elk]

but people who drive nissans and bmws are.. pretty similar in terms of behavior

i guess the bmw driver trades in for a new one when they mess up the bumper

[umbral moss]

that's not what CVTs do, they prioritize keeping the engine in a particular rpm band and it's never in the peak torque range since the design will grenade itself if you used a fully unchained QR25 or VR36

the reason nissan drivers suck is because the CVT has so much fucking rubberbanding thanks to its garbo torque handling and rpm management that you have to drive it like you stole it to get any acceleration out of it

correct

this made me laugh @bitter girder

[dull garnet]

ironically this was a follow up to her saying that people are bored during a recession as they're more conservative with their money. this show came out a decade ago... jumped back into relevance

[bitter girder]

So based

[sly elk]

theoretically i've been less conservative with my money >>

[dull garnet]

smh

[sly elk]

not icehunter levels of less conservative

[inland mauve]

there's always a bloody recession nowadays

Google and Microsoft just fucked over a ton of people because they believe another one is impending

money is fake

[odd sand]

I didn't realize they put CVTs into the Altima, thought it was just the Versa shitbangers

I think it's just they're shitty cars, so they sell for cheap, but it's the poor people with shitty credit that also wish they had a sports car that go with the altima then instead of the versa or a spark. So they drive like they're playing gran turismo, with just about the same level of care as well

[sly elk]

the maxima has the cvt as well

and get this it has paddle shifters, too

that was the weirdest car I've ever rented

poor VQ engine sounded like a sheep going bAAAaaaah

i ended up driving it in fake manual mode all the time because even in 'normal' mode the cvt did nonsense things

and the sound drove me crazy

at least in fake manual mode it sounded mostly normal

the only other time I'd experienced CVT was riding in a dodge caliber, and it had the stereotypical "motor mostly sits at a fixed rpm as you accelerate" thing going on

(it sounded like there was a blender under the hood running on puree)

[odd sand]

wtf would buy a Maxima with a CVT

[deep sapphire]

That’s all they offer now

Both the Altima and Maxima are only available with a CVT and I believe the maxima got dropped from the lineup

A shame really, the old maximas were great cars

[sly elk]

mmhmm, had to rent one when the 300 was getting a recall done once. The maxima was smaller, got worse gas mileage, and i think it was no faster

the center stack was also obnoxiously wide so it ate up into legroom

like

I've driven a few RWD cars and never seen such a bad arrangement

and the maxima is fwd so there's no excuse for eating up all that space

oh 5.85 second 0-60, vs 6.4 in a 300.. so it was a teeny tiny bit faster, but also it used premium gas lol

[fair parcel]

CVT haters

[odd sand]

I liked the styling on their last ones, but yeah if all they offered was a CVT I can see why. Sales on it were already fairly low before that for whatever reason.

[sly elk]

yea I'll give them credit for starting the weird car design trend

@deep sapphire basically my pc randomly locks up when gaming

[solid dirge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/896988134930255872/976156651809800242/9SDOPD24H7RBHGB5MBR.gif

[spare tide]

Only started happening when I upgraded my gpu from a 1060 to a 6650xt

I had it for a month now and it's caused my pc to lock up 5 times

[modest moss]

AY EM DEE

[deep sapphire]

check event viewer, filter the logs so it only shows everything but the information logs

[spare tide]

I did, nothing of note was found

I can't rn cuz I don't remember when the last freeze was

but the only critical event and error event that was relevant were saying my pc rebooted unexpectedly

which makes sense cuz I have to hard reboot when it happens

the rest of the errors are all shit like

telling me that steam stopped responding or some shit

one thing I did notice yesterday was that I had both my amd drivers and microsoft basic display adapter, it didn't remove it when I installed my amd drivers

I doubt that was the issue since it wasn't being used but

yeah

[deep sapphire]

yeah sometimes it can get a bit fucky and its annoying that microsoft automatically installs its own driver if you are connected to the internet

which PERSONALLY I feel in today's day and age with them installing all your drivers anyway how fuckin hard is it to have the latest WHQL driver in its database and automatically provide it to you lol

[spare tide]

fair

but yeah

I realized

people probably just don't know what to recommend

[deep sapphire]

so did you ever get any bluescreen?

just a hard restart?

[spare tide]

only the first time

but I was out of my room when it rebooted

normally it doesn't bluescreen

it just sits there

until I reboot

[deep sapphire]

there is a program you can download called bluescreenview that will show you if any crash dumps were logged

otherwise, I would check some basics, make sure all the power cables are inserted fully, make sure the system ram is seated properly

take the GPU out and insert it again making sure its fully inserted

[modest moss]

I don't remember if I asked, did you DDU?

[spare tide]

yes

[deep sapphire]

yeah he did say in the other channel

[modest moss]

k, shutting up again

[deep sapphire]

actually I do have one question about that

when you did that and booted back into windows, did you make sure to disconnect off the internet before windows attempted to install its driver?

well, assuming you ran DDU in safe mode

[spare tide]

Uh no I don't think I did

and yes I ran it in safe mode

I did disable internet access on my pc

but it re-enabled itself

[deep sapphire]

are you on ethernet or wifi

[spare tide]

ethernet

[deep sapphire]

so here is what I would do, I would download the latest WHQL driver, not a beta driver. I am sure you probably already did that so we'll ignore that

run DDU in safe mode again, make sure you have the ethernet cord unplugged out the back or disable the adapter in windows

then when you boot back into windows normally again

install the AMD driver

then once thats done, it may ask you to restart and you should be good from there

[spare tide]

I can try that

but yeah, I guess it bugged me for a while

because I was told I HAD to RMA my card

or

I HAD to replace my ram

like

how is ram the problem when it worked with my old gpu

I didn't even touch my ram when I replaced my gpu

[deep sapphire]

yeah, its pretty uncommon, sometimes you can bump something and the latches that hold the ram in can come undone but those sticks are pretty hard to remove so I wouldnt think of that

[spare tide]

no like

I have 2666mhz ddr4 ram

[deep sapphire]

other than possibly having the power cables to the graphics card not bfully inserted properly, the thing I mentioned above would be the best step

[spare tide]

(I was planning on upgrading my motherboard, cpu and ram later and get a gpu first)

but

[modest moss]

your ram is fine

[spare tide]

I have never heard of ram not being fast enough or some shit lol

[modest moss]

it's not exactly fast but it's fine

[deep sapphire]

no thats not what they probably meant

[spare tide]

no they told me

[modest moss]

can memcheck it anyway

[deep sapphire]

oh

then they are wrong

[spare tide]

replace your ram with a 3200mhz stick of ram

and see if it works

[deep sapphire]

system ram has nothing to do with how a graphics card works

[spare tide]

my motherboard doesn't even have xmp so

I can't use 3200mhz ram on it

[modest moss]

that's objectively terrible advice

[spare tide]

it'll be stuck at 2667mhz

[deep sapphire]

it'll make very little difference if at all, just ignore all that jazz for now

right now we need to get the graphics card working

[spare tide]

ye

[deep sapphire]

so go do that right now if you have time

[spare tide]

I do have time

[deep sapphire]

report back when you have completed all steps

[spare tide]

so

I only have to turn off the internet when I boot back into normal mode right

since I can just go into safe mode without internet

[deep sapphire]

correct but I would just do it right now so you dont forget and have to do it all over again

just use discord on your phone if you have questions

[spare tide]

thing is my mobo has a wifi chip

so if I remove the ethernet cable

it just connects to wifi automatically

[deep sapphire]

you can disable it in your network adapters

right click the network icon in the bottom right

on the task manager

go to internet settings

then change adapter settings

right click the wifi adapter

and select disable

I guess you could technically do that for both ethernet and wifi

whatever is easier for you

[spare tide]

oh thanks

didn't know I could do that

that's handy

but yeah

the only reason why I didn't reinstall my drivers was because I told myself it most likely wouldn't work

and I was too lazy to do it cuz it's a pain in the ass to use DDU

but I'll do it now

[deep sapphire]

In a perfect world you shouldn’t have to do this but sometimes it’s just really fucky

[spare tide]

ye

[deep sapphire]

Like when I first got my 1070 and installed drivers for it, it bricked my whole operating system

I was so posed

Pissed

My old card was nvidia too

[spare tide]

I'm just hoping I don't have to RMA my card

[deep sapphire]

So like wtf

Lmao

[spare tide]

apparently powercolor is a pain in the ass to work with

[deep sapphire]

When did you buy it

[spare tide]

a month ago

[deep sapphire]

If it’s within the last 30 days most retailers will let you return it

Contact them first IF it comes to that

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves

[spare tide]

nah it's been a bit over 30 days

more like 35-40 days

[deep sapphire]

They might still work with you

That would be a lot easier for you

That’s what I love about having micro center here

For like 10 bucks more you can return anything for 2 years

Saves you a ton of headache

[spare tide]

well my card comes with a 2 year warranty so

we're good on that front at least

ok now

I have to remember how to boot into safe mode LOL

I forgot

[deep sapphire]

Type window key + r

Type msconfig

You can have it boot into safe mode from there

I think there is a shortcut to do it from normal restart I can’t remember

[spare tide]

is it diagnostics startup

[deep sapphire]

Uuuuuh shit I can’t remember hold on I’ll check

[spare tide]

I mean the description sounds right

[deep sapphire]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234#WindowsVersion=Windows_11

Do this instead

I’m away from keyboard I can’t remember lmao

[royal forge]

Damn. Hardware Hank do be doin hardware stuff

[modest moss]

is it no longer mash F8?

[deep sapphire]

That rarely works now days because of EFI boot it’s really annoying

It technically works but you have to be SPOT on

I’ve gotten it to work once rofl

[hard drift]

turn off fast boot

it's still quick and allows you leeway to do it

[deep sapphire]

Yeah but then you have to remember to turn it back on later

[spare tide]

do I have to uninstall my amd drivers before rebooting into safe mode and using ddu

[hard drift]

nah, i leave that shit off since it's not slow anyways lol

[deep sapphire]

No, you’ll be doing that in safe mode

[hard drift]

hank...

send help

i burnt my microwave brownie lmfao

[deep sapphire]

Just make sure you have the AMD driver you need to install before you disconnect from the internet but I doubt you deleted it

[deep sapphire]

lower the power setting

[hard drift]

i mean worst case scenario if they didn't, they can get the installer from the amd folder before they run ddu

[hard drift]

the microwave can't do that

[royal forge]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-dodge-neo-gif-13288848

[hard drift]

and it's never done this before lol

[royal forge]

Damn, me with AMD

[deep sapphire]

dont you love that and then you figure out its wasting 30GB of storage from all the drivers you installed

[hard drift]

i constantly remove it myself

i don't need the installer in that folder amd

[spare tide]

unrelated but

are there people that actually think defragging an ssd is a good idea

[royal forge]

It optimizes it

[spare tide]

doesn't it just shorten its lifespan?

[modest moss]

you are joking I assume

you just let windows run trim in the background

[deep sapphire]

no, thats for mechanical drives

[spare tide]

OK pc is booting into safe mode

Someone last time told me to uninstall my gpu drivers before running ddu

But I guess ddu does that already so

Idk why I was told to do that

[modest moss]

that is literally the point of ddu

you've been getting some wild advice

[spare tide]

I guess people don't know what they're talking about lol

[modest moss]

"hey make sure you uninstall your display drivers before running Display Driver Uninstaller"

[spare tide]

Yeah I was told

It doesn't delete the driver, only the residual files

[modest moss]

that's fucking news to me

[spare tide]

Also this time I officially disabled internet

So that shouldn't be an issue

Oh I have a random question

Is it possible to disable that feature on my gpu that makes the fans not spin until it reaches 60c

Without using a custom fan curve

[royal forge]

Yes

But im not tech mentor

So i dont need a /s or /j

[spare tide]

DDU is running

[deep sapphire]

once thats done, boot back into windows normally, ,make sure you arent connected to the internet

and install the driver

then you can connect to the internet

hopefully that resolves your issue

[spare tide]

I really hope so too

Otherwise idk what to do lol

[modest moss]

next you're doing things like checking power cables and reseating gpu and ram

[spare tide]

Ye

[modest moss]

or reinstalling windows

[spare tide]

And if that doesn't fix it

[modest moss]

because sometimes windows is just a twat

[spare tide]

I guess rma is gonna be the fix

[modest moss]

do you still have the 1070?

[spare tide]

It's a 1060

And yes I do

Although I think it's dying

[modest moss]

have you tried gaming with the 1060 since the new gpu was dicking around?

[spare tide]

Nah

I could try that next

[modest moss]

would try that before RMA yeah

but hopefully this'll just do it

[spare tide]

Oops I just cleaned and rebooted on ddu but I forgot to disable booting into safe mode

Guess I gotta reboot again lmao

Gonna take a while to tell if it's fixed tho

Cuz sometimes it took almost 2 weeks before my pc locked up again

@deep sapphire should I reboot my pc after downloading my amd drivers

Does it even matter

Eh, just gonna do it anyway

[deep sapphire]

Doesn’t hurt

Sorry was in a game

If you’re still getting issues feel free to pin shue or I

Make a ticket in #952326072542847016 as well so we can keep track of everything

[spare tide]

Yep

[spare tide]

Should I make one now, or if it happens again?

[deep sapphire]

nah, just if it happens again

Supposedly the Kia EV9 SUV they're releasing next year

Or later this year I guess

No doubt poised to compete against the crowded market segment of V9 ICE engines.

[spare tide]

alright

one thing I noticed is that this time, in device manager I don't have both my amd drivers and microsoft basic display adapter as a hidden device

just the amd drivers

[deep sapphire]

thats what you want

[spare tide]

everything's done, now let's hope it's fixed

[deep sapphire]

I suspected the MS driver and AMD were conflicting with eachother

so hopefully it doesnt happen again

[spare tide]

I really hope it's that simple lol

but ty for your help!

I will let you know if it happens again

gonna play 1 or 2 games of smite before bed, we'll see if it freezes or not

[deep sapphire]

yeah np! like I said feel free to ping any of the tech mentors in a new ticket if you have any further issues 😄

[royal forge]

Hey tech mentor, why doesnt my 3090 run like a 4090

Guess who just got a samsung s21 for his bday

[real edge]

100k soon

[golden stream]

Man, that explained why SAMSUNG SSD just had a dip in my place

Been searching 1TB SSD for my systems then samsung 1tb nvme was be sussy cheapo

[real edge]

my samsung evo ssd is still at 100% health(according to crystaldiskinfo)

I bought it a year ago?

not sure

[paper tusk]

I have microcenter and sandisk m2's and so far going fine (touch wood)

was tempted to get asgard ones to play test your luck but mony

[real edge]

and I have my kingston ssd that I purchased 7-8yrs ago and its at 90%

and then theres that relic of another time from a defunct company

still good health

thats why I wonder why peoples drives fail sometime

[odd sand]

I recently put my old OCZ Vertex4 into my old system I gave to my nephew. Didn't check the SMART life on it though

[inland mauve]

no you should make the 30FPS version blurrier

[jaunty light]

no thats how 30fps and 60fps looks

even 300fps looks like that, its all a sham by the big corporations to sell monitors with bigger numbers

[jaunty light]

bronco but korean

[inland mauve]

no you should make the lower FPS blurrier, how else are we going to tell that it's worse

we can't tell just from a still image, you have to lie to us

[jaunty light]

the biggest most best hollywood movies shot on billion dollar cameras run at 24 fps

checkmate

finally some quiet

probably wont change much with ceramic caps

[gray bough]

Is there any programs that lets me like free up storage and see what’s taking up the most storage

bc I’m modding Skyrim rn and that takes like 100 gb so

[jaunty light]

windirstat

[inland mauve]

TreeSize Free

that's the tool I use

the free version even allows commercial use

makes it super easy to see what is taking up space, which in my case was the bitmap duplicates that ReShade saved of every screenshot I ever took

[dull garnet]

Windirstat is open source and what I use also. It is also quick

[glossy ravine]

Is upgrading to WIN11 worth it?

[bitter girder]

Windows 11

Is actually really good

I hated it year 1

But it’s improved a lot

[glossy ravine]

I've been sitting on Win 10, but it's kinda bugging me to upgrade

[bitter girder]

I found it more stable than windows 10

[jaunty light]

it sucks!

don't believe bald bloke

[glossy ravine]

Like. It's bugging me to turn on Secure boot, whatever the hell that is.

[deep sapphire]

[dull garnet]

i won't post it here but i saw an anime woman with a generous bosom mounted to a cpu waterblock so it looked like the water was flowing through them

lol

[paper tusk]

it looks good

probably from minor instability if not reset (to make sure old driver guts aren't in memory even though they shouldn't)

[modest moss]

Cuz my phone still works

Its just... not perfect

man, amazon's shipping times are getting kinda sad

normal prime for me has slipped to sunday lol

[royal forge]

I mean, ur gettin it within the week, no?

[sly elk]

yea

hehe it';ll be good for business for local stores

[royal forge]

I always felt amazon should occupy the niche of "you can get it for cheaper but not immediate" but then they did same day delivery ans shit

@tame fulcrum am i cool yet

[outer sand]

my current cable management 🥲 Can It be better?

[royal forge]

Looks p solid

I dunoe why somethin is hanging there tho

[outer sand]

didn't fit inside the https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/signum-cable-trunking-horizontal-silver-colour-10200254/

[royal forge]

An option is also to attach/stick cables on table legs

To hide the hanging wires

But if wires too short, no need

[outer sand]

hmm that's actually nice idea, I just don't trust the bracket that will stick cables to the table legs, they'll likely lose to gravity

hence why I just anchor everything on the cable trunk

This is front view, can't see the cable, but yeah that something that's hanging there is a powerline for more stable connection cause I don't like wi-fi, and they don't fit the cable trunk unfortunately

[royal forge]

Looks p good as is

[outer sand]

hmm ty ty, I guess I'll just settle with the current setup, finally finished 😅

[royal forge]

Congrata

[outer sand]

upgraded from this small table, so feel much more space now compared to before

and the PC and printer on the floor just fell much more clutter than the current one, harder to clean as well 😅

not good for the PC to be too close to the floor cause it absorbs more dust, etc, also less appreciation since it's a new PC

[golden stream]

Oooooo nice setup

Huh, a set of Wii controller, been a while since tje last time seeing outta wild

[royal forge]

Anyone familiar with em wireless chargers?

Its slower than reg cable charging right

[outer sand]

yeah, no other console/pc game can replicate the rail shooting experience I play in wii like deadspace extraction/umbrella and darkside chronicles @golden stream

so I still have it to play rail shooters game

[outer sand]

should be, anything wireless can't really replicate cable connection really, even the most expensive wireless mouse/keyboard will have an input delay afaik

wireless charging is relatively new-ish technology, so can't really believe that it has equal charging speed compared to cable charger

[bitter girder]

Pretty sure some devices can do up to 18w

But that’s NEW devices

[real bone]

feeling pretty today dunno maybe ill cause a Microsoft outage

[sly elk]

Unless the a7iv gets a steep discount or the a7iii goes really cheap again, I’m probably going to just get an s5ii

Unless the reviews from people go badly

[void dove]

so that was you earlier, causing a MS Teams outage

ill let my coworkers know 😛

[golden stream]

Generally yes, me having a pad, charging speed slower than fastcharge/superfastcharge for sure (2 hours vs 1h30 vs 1h a few mins) (???w vs 15w vs 25w if I rmb correctly)
Samsung btw
Good thing is kinda drop there forgo pick up eyyyy charged naisu
Bad thing is if you have a case, it has chance of not charging and overheat ur device instead
Mine is energizer wireless qi pad btw

I think my bud1 case battery is kinda ded or something like that idk, it doesn't hold battery well as before

[real bone]

hehe

[umbral moss]

wait, it's raining, why are there sun bands?

[umbral moss]

I think they've got the efficiency fairly high now, like 92-ish %?

The latest is pretty efficient ya

But the more common ones are not as good

Also, fuck. My pc doesnt have a card reader

[dull garnet]

i have an 8mb smart card somewhere

[royal forge]

Man... remember when 4GB was a holy shit moment

[dull garnet]

nope

[royal forge]

Damn lucky u

I had an mp3 player

1GB

Fuckin amazin

[dull garnet]

my first mp3 player had a hdd

[royal forge]

Damn

[dull garnet]

20GB

[royal forge]

Wow. How heavy

[dull garnet]

yeah it was pretty tanky

[royal forge]

I had a no name china one

[dull garnet]

later i got a white 5g ipod

and then i just used a smartphone

I was still using a CD player when 1GB mp3 players were common

this is what I had lmao. I don't think it even had anti skip

[bitter girder]

Ministry of sound

[dull garnet]

yea

cringe

[outer sand]

https://youtu.be/1Xis28b94Yo this is my first mp3 player, also works as usb stick, 1 gb 👀

[dull garnet]

fancy samsung

my friends had crap like this

[modest moss]

I had a 128mb mp3 player like that, without a radio

do not miss it

[dull garnet]

even with 128kbps encodes i thought that was pathetic, which is why i didn't adopt earlier

[modest moss]

yeah it would take like 2 albums, and only if they weren't too long

it was ok for a commute though

[royal forge]

Back when podcasts werent a thing yet

Were they?

I dont THINK so?

[modest moss]

not really

[royal forge]

Podcasts were... uhhh 2010-ish ye?

YoGPoD

[modest moss]

blew up in like 2005

"At the end of September 2004, searching for “podcasts” on Google found around 500 results. One year later, that number had risen to 100,000,000."

[royal forge]

I assume podcasts are still popular

Tho streamin probably took away from purely audio podcasts

[modest moss]

probably bigger than ever

[dull garnet]

definitely

celebrity podcasts and such now too

[modest moss]

spotify push them pretty hard

[inland mauve]

I hate how Spotify still tries to insert ads in my podcasts even though I pay for it

and I don't mean the "today's show is sponsored by" parts

I mean that Spotify literally pauses the podcast to play an ad, sometimes in a completely different language

chucklefucks

[modest moss]

gotta fund JRE somehow

[outer sand]

yeah but people in those era use limewire, risk yourself to get a virus just to commute while listening to music, not worth it 🥲

[modest moss]

Yeah if you really care about audio quality and simplicity then the dedicated ones are still nice. Just not cheap.

[dull garnet]

this one wasn't too bad. i decided against it due to the idea of carrying two devices around when i didn't really need to

[odd sand]

Although I think if you're one of the dozens with an Xperia phone, those support a lot of audio formats as well

[dull garnet]

any android phone can install foobar2k :v

[odd sand]

Yeah I would mostly buy one if I were still doing a lot of jogging or something to keep weight and size down

Xperia has a really nice DAC in it as well AFAIK

[odd sand]

I've heard the name foobar before but didn't remember what it was for bc I never used it

[inland mauve]

wasn't this a 00s thing

something like WinAmp?

I was an iTunes kid so I didn't use it

actually now that I think about it I might have installed it?

[modest moss]

foobar was what the millennials installed because they thought winamp wasn't cool enough

[dull garnet]

foobar2000 was lightweight, flexible and wasn't corrupted like winamp was

plus plugins

damn, 16mb

it used 3mb 15 years ago!

[lime wasp]

Ugh.

So the Lian Li AIO I order was DoA and I returned it.

But now I'm stuck;

I could go with another Corsair AIO but I'm tired of their cabling mess since they refuse to attend the Church of Daisy Chain. Also Asetech. But it works with iCue which I already have because of my RAM, Keyboard and Mouse.

Phanteks looks cool and has daisy-chaining but it's also another Asetech Pump.

EK looks nice and I've heard it's better with their own pump design, but those fans give me pause (also they're sold out everywhere).

Then there is Arctic Freezer which I've heard is the best but then I don't know about their cabling situation and the fans look kinda sus too.

[dull garnet]

ac fans are gud

better yet you could stick an air cooler on

[lime wasp]

I'm also tempted to try another Lian Li since I probably just got unlucky but that is another Asetech Pump so.....

[modest moss]

winamp was always sturdy af for me

[dull garnet]

🤢

[modest moss]

and it's still installed

that's it

but can roll it up

[bitter girder]

https://videocardz.com/newz/discord-enables-av1-streaming-on-geforce-rtx-40-gpus discord ahead of the game

[dull garnet]

1650 the most popular video card for steam users probably doesn't decode it

[bitter girder]

Cool a feature I’m not gonna use on a card I’m not gonna buy

[dull garnet]

Importantly, the AV1 support for streaming will not limit viewers to this codec. As long as AV1 decoding is supported it will be streamed without transcoding to viewers. Otherwise, it will stream the video to H.264 which is supported by nearly everything released in the past 20 years.

i'm not sure i get this

[bitter girder]

God damn it

[dull garnet]

does it switch to h264 or does discord do that process

[hard drift]

Discord does that process usually

[dull garnet]

ah

[hard drift]

I believe you can manually set it though

[potent arrow]

I absolutely abhorre the shit discord does, but I concede this is pretty cool lol

Damn why are phones so fucking expensive

Hnnnnggg

[umbral moss]

because people decided they want phones big enough to double as porn dispensers laptops

so you need an incredibly expensive battery to drive your huge high resolution screen and backlight

[dull garnet]

if i were buying now i'd get a pixel 6a

[umbral moss]

Any headphone recommendations for under $100? I sweat a lot so often the cushions on my headphones get ruined as a result. Much appreciated

$100 CA

Also I’m fine with both Bluetooth or wired.

[dull garnet]

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01L1IIEKM/

replaceable cushions which are readily available and you can wash them

they are open though, which may be an issue if privacy is a concern

[neon shell]

In what way?

[dull garnet]

the cups allow sound to escape

[royal forge]

Cuz then everyone can hear you listenin to hentai

[neon shell]

xD

[dull garnet]

otherwise https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00HVLUQW8/

[neon shell]

I’ll take both into consideration

Thanks for the response

[royal forge]

I'd always recommend tryin in person

Its why i've never had a headset

Cant find one i feel is comfy

[neon shell]

You mean in store?

[royal forge]

Yw

Ye

[neon shell]

So what do you use instead of headphones then if you don’t mind linking it

[dull garnet]

that is decent advice, or at least somewhere with a good return policy (like amazon)

[neon shell]

There's return policy for headphones on Amazon? I didn't know that

[dull garnet]

not sure about Canada, but here you can return pretty much anything unwanted

(UK)

[neon shell]

Canada and the UK are the same country 😄

[dull garnet]

Pretty sure there going to start switching it to the king

windows, you're drunk

[odd sand]

Docker is drunk for me. Taking 8gb ram with no containers running. Think I need to look at the config settings lol

[spare tide]

@deep sapphire so a new thing happened with my computer

sorry for pinging randomly but

it didn't freeze or anything this time, but while I booted up smite my pc started slowing down to a crawl for nearly a minute (even the cursor) then I heard 5 beeps and everything went back to normal

what's weird is that the only game that has an effect on the rest of my computer is smite

when I boot it up I mean

[neon shell]

did it get bottle necked or something?

[spare tide]

did what get bottlenecked

[neon shell]

you said it slowed down for a minute so maybe that was the cause of it

[spare tide]

well I don't think so

what I'm concerned about are the beeps I heard

[sly elk]

docker is like that sometimes

do you have a lot of images or idle/not running but not gone containers?

(like docker ps -a)

[hard drift]

That could be one of amds things turning on i believe. Sometimes certain keystrokes will play a sound i believe for radeon chill? But i know it is for some of their features

I believe you had amd correct me if incorrect

[spare tide]

I have an amd gpu yeah

I looked up beep codes online

but they're all related to beeps when the pc is posting

which is not what happened

[hard drift]

Go into amd control panel and delete all the hot keys

The disable/turn off button doesn’t work

That’s all i have though, I’m going to bed so hopefully someone else can take over if that doesn’t help

[spare tide]

hm

gnite!

and yeah idk

it happened on my desktop which is weird

[hard drift]

You can do it anywhere pretty sure

It’s a toggle per game and or system wide

[spare tide]

it might've been

[odd sand]

Nope, just a bedrock minecraft server that's been off and the splunk server

Apparently the memory usage is in part what you set for docker and wsl2

[sly elk]

heh, if anyon ewas eyeing a studio display, they're 1299 on amazon atm

Never heard of ethernet tethering, but probably not much if all you want to do is transfer files.

[golden stream]

if for mobile hotspot/ethernet tethering, uhhh at least to my system it's the same

@modest moss I solved my problem XD

Turns out it just needed serious cleaning

Never froze or restarted since then

it's easy to forget dust

Like the bottom part

Where is the psu

And there is air entrance

Was full of fur and dust

That focus is how the final design ended up incorporating the iconic pizza oven door in place of the spark's rear driver side window, which pulled double duty as a marketing stunt and a functional piece of equipment that could warm pizzas to 140 degrees. Inside, every seat but the driver's was removed and replaced with various easy-access storage solutions. In total the DNX ended up being able to hold 45 pizzas and a dozen large bottles of soda.

they say this as if it's some kind of huge revelation

of course a delivery truck will want to have nothing in it but storage and a driver's seat lmao

One pizza hut I worked at split the difference on the heating. We had special bags with a rigid core that would get heated in induction hoppers. So you would grab the bag out of the hopper when about to go out the door and it was initially heated to like 160F or something so it oculd keep them hot for quite awhile

At least the pizza on the bottom

if you want to post gaming clips from your ps5, like no damage boss fights in nioh 2 for example, should you buy a flash drive to transfer the clip from your ps5 to your laptop/pc for editing and posting?

[odd sand]

This thumbnail is rather silly bc mini-projectors have been a thing for years, and so have R-pis and arduinos etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CBQM2X8BZQ

[odd sand]

There is that route, otherwise you can also upload to a Youtube account then pull down the video from there to your PC.

[modern iris]

got you

pico pc is a thing, there's one on, uh, indiegogo right now?

honestly, the mac mini is the mark to beat re: perf/L

it's not the fastest PC you can buy, but getting a 3050 equivalent GPU in a $599 box is way the fuck better than any bullshit ibuypower can make

[modern iris]

does anyone with g600 have any hotbar setup examples?

what option do yall use?

[real edge]

I just bind the buttons to each of the F keys

F1-12

and bind the in-game keys to F1-F12

easy to remember and set up

[modern iris]

oo i might try that

https://imgur.io/a/8s2vq came across this, thoughts on this kind of setup?

[outer sand]

numpad 1-9 then just additional random 3 keys since I use 60% mech keyboard

[modern iris]

yea, i use a 60% as well

[outer sand]

ah yeah, use what you comfy with 🤔 , It's kinda depends on the person this kind of thing

I don't use my g600 for gaming since I use controller

[modern iris]

ah, fair enough

[kindred brook]
